The Business (2013–2018): Season 4, Episode 11 - Inocência - full transcript

- What happened ?
- My son ripped you off.

The detective located Oscar
in a Panama City hotel.

Oscar organized an event
in our hotel

to launch a real estate
investment program.

- See how Magali's treating me ?
- What about it ?

I shun her in bed
and she's being nice to me ?

We need to talk.
I owe her an explanation.

Can we have a drink somewhere ?

- Hi, Magali.
- Son of a bitch !

Stop it, Guga !
He's just kidding !

You got rid of Guga
on behalf of our group ?



- We liked him, Magali.
- He didn't deserve that.

Naomi is pregnant. I'm the dad.
She refused to use a condom.

She says I'm not some john,
I'm special.

I loathe kids ! Did you know they lose
a tooth and another grows ?

This is delicious.

I can't find a famous chef
for our building.

So we can make you
a famous chef.

With your beauty
and our marketing,

you'll be the country's
number one chef.

Governor, it just went viral
on the Internet

that you crashed your car
in front of a brothel.

- Were you leaving that place ?
- Of course not, Lorena.

We need to put an end
to all this hypocrisy.

You crossed a moral line
you shouldn't have.



Are you watching
Sintra's show ?

That building will represent
the failure of the values

on which civilization is built.

Karin, did you see
the latest news ?

"Álvaro Sintra
accused of sexual abuse."

You can't destroy me
for not thinking like you.

You think I had something to do
with that complaint ?

I'm no fool, Karin.

O NEGÓCIO

INNOCENCE

Good morning.

Good morning.
I have two things to tell you.

Go ahead.

First, a reporter's here to see you
to get your opinion about Sintra's case.

I have no comments
about that.

Sintra could be innocent.
I don't know.

All I know is he can't accuse me
of setting him up.

What's the second thing
you want to tell me ?

I saw a picture of the girl
that accused Sintra.

And ?

And she was in the club
a few days ago.

- Are you sure ?
- I think so.

If Sintra finds out he'll be convinced
it was you who set him up.

- Why would she come here ?
- I have no idea.

- Where was she ?
- In the girls' section.

They have cameras. Let's see
which girl she came to talk to.

- Luna !
- Oscar !

There's no time. Come.

- What's going on, Oscar ?
- You'll see.

- What's this ?
- Our wedding. That's what.

What about all my stuff
you stole ?

I'll explain later, Luna.
I'll explain later.

I do.

Come in.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Everything okay ?
- Yes.

I'm going back to the States.

- Really ? When ?
- Today.

- Today ?
- Yes.

Fran, you can stay
as long as you want.

Don't leave just because
Oscar ripped me off.

Thanks, my child.
Can I call you that ?

Yes, of course.

It's time I move on.
I'll keep in contact.

- I'll miss you.
- I'll miss you too.

Thanks for being so nice to me,

especially for helping Oscar
to accept me just like I am.

I can't repay you by helping you
accept him the way he is.

What he did is unspeakable.

Only a mom would accept that.
Not a wife.

Can you believe
after I saw those photos,

I dream that Oscar
can explain the whole thing

and he didn't rip me off ?

Luna, listen to me.

You need to accept the fact
that he ripped you off,

or you'll never get over it.

Get a new wardrobe,
refurnish your apartment,

and forget all about him.

- I'll try.
- Now give me a hug, okay ?

I hate goodbyes,
but I'll make an exception for you.

I'm glad you reconsidered.

Yes, you're very considerate, and that's
vital to our community's well-being.

- Our community comes first.
- Well said, Magali.

Who's that at this hour ?

Guga said he might bring us
a reconciliation present.

What is it, Guga ?

Impatience is for poets.
Go ahead, open it.

What's this ? A hammock ?

Not just any hammock.
It's for five people.

So the entire group
can be together.

It's beautiful.

Now we can really get
wrapped up in love.

You're good with words.

- Thanks.
- Where can we hang it ?

- How about over there ?
- No, that's my reading chair.

I think that's the only place
we can put it.

Why don't you move it ?

Because I like that spot.
I like the view too.

- You can read in the hammock.
- That's right, Magali.

- So, what's it going to be ?
- Fine. Go ahead.

- Thanks.
- It's the perfect spot.

- Give us a hand, Zanini.
- Yes. I'll get the ladder.

Ariel, sign right there.

What ?

- Did you get the results ?
- Yes.

- Boy or girl ?
- It's a boy.

- It's a boy ?
- Yes. Now we need a name.

Right.

I like Fernando.
Isn't that your real name ?

- Yes.
- So how about Fernando Neto ?

- Neto ?
- Yes, like in "grandson".

- My grandson ?
- Yes, your "neto".

Why are all the windows shut ?
You morons, it's 100 in here.

It's cold today, Ariel.

I don't feel well.
I need to take a walk.

- Did you like the samples ?
- I did.

- The tuna tartare ?
- Awesome.

- And the scallops ?
- Amazing.

- The ossobuco ?
- Perfect.

And Giancarlo ?

- Giancarlo ?
- Yes, Giancarlo.

- What a mess.
- Really ? Why ?

It was better than all the above
put together.

Everything was so perfect
it was a total mess.

Excuse me ?

I adore Giancarlo, but I can't be
with him. He's too complicated.

Saying a guy is complicated
is saying he's alive.

Giancarlo's problem
is that he's way too intense.

He's the most intense guy
in the Universe.

What a shame.
He's head over heels in love.

Yes, he's brokenhearted.
But it's all for the best.

New subject.
Deco Gouvéa is one of our girls' john.

The actor ?

Yes, he's coming
for the opening tomorrow.

- Unbelievable.
- And with him comes the media.

- Isn't she speaking with Smiley ?
- Let me rewind.

- No, that's Yasmin's cousin.
- You're right. Let's continue.

- I'll be right back.
- Okay.

Hello.

Okay, and you ?

- You'll never guess who it was.
- Who ?

My dad.

- Your dad ?
- Yes, my dad.

Ever since I told him I'm gay,

we've spoken maybe once
every three years.

I don't even remember
the last time he called.

What did he want ?

He asked if I was okay,
and says he wants to see the club.

- Really ?
- Isn't that unbelievable ?

- He might have changed.
- Right. Who knows ?

Wait. Rewind.

There. That's her.

What do you need to tell me
that's so urgent ?

We know you did it.
It was you who set up Sintra.

- What are you talking about ?
- You paid her to say he raped her.

- Who, me ?
- Yes, you.

Why would I do that ?

You know he was against
the building on TV.

It would make sense
if I did that,

but I'm sorry to inform you
it never occurred to me.

So why were you two talking
the day before she accused him ?

- I spoke with her ?
- Yes.

- But I don't even know her.
- Let me show you.

- Do you still deny it ?
- Yes. Of course.

- Ariel.
- I did nothing.

She just asked me something.
That's all.

Asked you what ?

I don't remember.
She asked for one of the girls.

- Which girl ?
- I can't remember now.

I'm supposed to believe
you never saw her before ?

That's what happened.

And it's just a coincidence
she accused Sintra a day later ?

- Apparently. Why not ?
- I don't believe you.

But it's true.
César, you believe me, right ?

- I'd like to, but it's kind of tough.
- Have you gone mad ?

I'll be very clear, Ariel.

Admit what you did
or we're not partners anymore.

- But I did nothing !
- I mean it.

That same day, I started
rebuilding my life without Oscar.

I loved Fran,
he's such a great guy.

But imagine
if he stayed at your place.

Oscar traded everything
for his mom.

- What about this one ?
- Looks perfect on you.

It's not as low-cut
as the one I liked best.

That's the one you wore
at Oscar's birthday party.

- Damn !
- What ?

I remember now,
I wore it at his party

because he said
I was just beautiful.

So what ?

So I can't move on without him
buying a dress he'd like, right ?

Well, you're right.

I'll get stuff I never bought
because he didn't like them.

- How I envy you, Luna.
- Why ?

You can furnish your house
any way you want,

while I have to please
an entire group.

They moved my chair
to hang a hammock.

All I need now
is a bell at the main door.

- At least they didn't rob you.
- They robbed my freedom, my life.

Don't talk like that. You'll help me
organize my anti-Oscar house ?

Sure. I think I'll spend some time
with you. I need some alone time.

Being with me
is like being alone ?

Sure, your best friend
is almost you.

How about this ?

Okay, Magali, love you.

I mean it.

Luna is upset about Oscar,
so Magali is staying with her.

Magali is loyal to her friend
as you guys are to me.

I appreciate the fact that you
voted me back in the group.

Can I make a confession ?

- Sure you can.
- Can I really ?

Speak up, Guga.

I love you guys so much
my dick grew like an inch.

That's such nonsense, Guga.

Just kidding, but seriously,

I love you guys so much
I'd like to make a proposal.

What proposal ?

Celebrating we're back together
with a foursome tonight.

- Great idea.
- I agree.

- Now what's the joke ?
- No joke. I'm serious.

No, thanks.

I won't go near you.
It's just to celebrate together.

What's the problem, Zanini ?
We love each other.

Not today.
I need to trim my toenails.

- Zanini !
- Sorry. Not today.

Karin is convinced
that I am guilty as charged.

But unfortunately I'm not.

And not being guilty
does not make me proud.

It makes me ashamed.
Ashamed of being innocent.

Innocent is a synonym of naive.
Naive is a synonym of gullible.

Gullible is a synonym of idiot,
idiot is a synonym of moron,

and a moron I am not.

Between guilty and innocent
I'd rather be guilty.

A thousand times.
There's no comparison.

But in this case, thanks to some
tragic mistake, I am innocent.

And now Karin
is kicking me out.

Therefore,
apart from being innocent,

I'll be an innocent guy
suffering an injustice.

And I'll be the lowest creature
among men.

The very lowest.

What do I do ?

How do I get out
of this degrading situation ?

The next day,

while Karin waited for Ariel to fix what
she thought he did to Sintra,

she remembered a reporter
wanted an interview,

and thought the least she could do
was to support Sintra publicly.

Here's my official statement.
Sintra is innocent.

I totally believe him
when he says the girl lied.

You think the others lied too ?

- What others ?
- Haven't you heard about them ?

No.

Three new victims came forward.
One of them went to college with him,

but she only came forward now
to file a complaint.

The other two worked with him
a few years ago.

Why would women
who don't know each other,

who met him at different dates,
under different circumstances,

be lying at the same time ?

Karin, are you still there ?

Yes, I'm here.
I want to change my statement.

I'm listening.

Sintra uses his show
to criticize something

which is nothing
but consensual sex.

I think differently.

To me, what is wrong
is non-consensual sex.

That is my comment.

Wake up, Ariel.

- Ariel. Ariel !
- I returned the limes already.

They're in the cafeteria.
Go see for yourself.

You're dreaming. Wake up.

What ? Now you're blaming me
for global warming, right ?

Get up, Ariel.
We want to apologize.

I told you the truth
and you didn't believe me.

She just asked me
where one of the girls was.

- Who was it, damn it ?
- It doesn't matter now.

Yes, it does matter.
I won't rest until I remember her name.

Good morning.

- Good morning.
- Hi, Eric.

Is it somebody's birthday ?

No, this is for Naomi.
The baby's first little booties.

My neighbor Rose
knitted them.

Rose. That's it ! Rose !
I remember her name.

Her name is Valentina !

What does Rose
have to do with Valentina ?

Who cares ? I must've stepped on
some Valentina's pink roses.

All that matters
is I remember her name.

- She wanted to see Valentina.
- It's a pity Valentina quit.

- What ?
- Valentina. She left the club.

Why did she quit ?

She got an inheritance
and she's moving abroad.

The girls say
she's living it up now,

even moved from her house
to a luxury hotel. She's acting weird.

- Can you find out what hotel ?
- Sure, I can. Excuse me.

- This one is great.
- Yes, but it's not for me.

- Why not ?
- It's for a couple. Not a group.

- I can't get one either.
- Why not ?

It's for couples, I won't have
a bed where Oscar fits.

So you're getting a
single bed ?

No. One for widows.

Zanini. Can you take your stuffiness
out with the trash ?

- What stuffiness ?
- Admit it. You're a prude.

- I'm not a prude.
- You're not ?

Where were you last night ?

Having fun with us in bed
or trimming your nails

because you're a prude ?

That's ridiculous.
I am not a prude.

Tonight you'll have a chance
to prove you're not.

We'll be expecting you.

It'll be such fun.

Ariel, what are you doing here ?

- I don't know.
- You don't know ?

I saw a baby's booties,
went driving around like crazy,

and I ended up here.

A baby's booties ?

Eric knocked up
one of the escorts.

- Really ?
- Yes.

I'm having a grandson !
I'm desperate !

Calm down, Ariel.

You have to help me.
You have two kids.

- How did you not gross out ?
- I was never grossed out.

But I am. What can I do ?

Didn't you ever have kids
at home ?

Of course not. Why would I ?

They don't smoke or drink,
or play pool.

- I know how to help you.
- How ?

I volunteer at a daycare center.
I'll take you there.

You'll see just how adorable
kids really are.

I can't breathe.
I can't breathe !

While Ariel dealt with the idea
of becoming a granddad,

César hoped to become
his dad's kid once more.

Dad !

Son, I hope you don't mind
I brought some friends.

It's such a pleasure
to have you here.

- My son's the boss.
- It's a tough job.

- Want to see the club ?
- Sure.

What about this ?

It's nice.
But it's not hairy enough.

I really like this one.

It would give Oscar rhinitis
and I always wanted one.

- Is there a color he hates ?
- Yes. Purple. Why ?

I have an idea.

I'm a prude ? Charlie Sheen's a prude
compared to me !

I would make Caligula blush !

Here's why I won't have sex
with them.

I'm terrified
by other people's penises.

I was in the locker room
at the gym,

and seeing a geezer's dick
made me sick for three weeks.

And the thing is, if I have sex
with them to prove I'm not a prude,

seeing Guga butt naked
might affect my performance,

and they could think
he's better in the sack than me.

Which would be so unfair.

I know what I'll do.

Zaidan. It's Zanini. Remember that drug
you recommended ?

Yes, the love drug.
Can you get me some ?

Aren't they adorable ?
Don't you love them ?

Love them ? I'm traumatized.
I'm a war veteran.

- You're overreacting.
- I'm not overreacting.

I might not recover.
I'm emotionally disabled.

At the club, Cesar did something
he refused to do in ages.

Have fun with his dad.

- Hi, Zanini.
- Hi, Zaidan.

There you go.

The dealer says they work.
I got some for me too.

Thanks, Zaidan.

- Tell me how it went.
- I sure will.

- It was a pleasure.
- The pleasure was mine.

- We'll be back soon.
- Please do.

- Thanks, Cesar.
- I have to thank you.

I loved the whole thing.
Congratulations.

Thank you.

- Dad, I had a great time.
- So did I.

I... I'd like you to come over
to my place. I could fix dinner.

- César.
- Yes ?

Let's get one thing straight.
Nothing's changed between us.

But you came all the way here.

I just came to show my friends
the club.

- I thought you had changed.
- Have you changed ?

- No.
- Then I haven't either.

Thanks for having us.

It was Içá's opening that evening.

Actor Deco Gouveia was there.

- What do you think ?
- Let me tell you something.

The worst day of my life
was when a critic trashed me.

Then I found out my girlfriend
was cheating on me.

I hid under the covers
and cried for hours.

- Then something happened.
- What ?

I thought about having dinner.

If anything heals any kind of hardship,
it's having a nice dinner.

So I went to a restaurant,

hoping a dish of duck and a glass of
wine would cheer me up a little.

But the duck was overcooked,
and the wine was awful.

But if I had some of this,
if I had this for dinner that day,

I'm sure I would've forgotten
everything that happened

and felt I was
the world's happiest man.

Congratulations.
This was really wonderful.

Thanks, Deco.

- Can you do me a favor ?
- What ?

Can I have some more ?
This is so good.

Sure.

Guess what else you can do
to totally forget Oscar.

What ?

Destroy all your
good memories of him.

How ?

Go to the places
you enjoyed with him,

and do terrible things
like in a restaurant you liked,

drink until you puke
on the maître.

So you won't associate him
with the restaurant,

you'll remember you puked, so by getting
drunk and puking in several places

you'll finally forget him.

But by drinking so much,
I might not remember I forgot Oscar.

That's possible.

- Let's continue painting.
- Okay.

I'm not a prude.

I'm that closer to a home that's all
about me and nothing about Oscar.

- Did I tell you I envy you ?
- Like a hundred times.

It's true.

I want to be in charge of things
at home again, without being selfish.

- What's wrong with being selfish ?
- What's wrong with it ?

Yes, I wasn't selfish with Oscar
and look at what happened.

Why did I let him do things
I didn't want to ?

Right.

- I'll tell you what being selfish is.
- What ?

Selfishness is not doing
what others want to force you to do.

Or not ? Am I wrong ?

You're right.

- And there's more.
- What ?

Nothing's more selfless
than being selfish.

- Nothing's more selfless ?
- Than being selfish. Nothing.

- You're exaggerating.
- No. Let me explain.

Why ? Tell me why.

When you do what you want,
not what others want you to do,

you prevent them
from being selfish.

Because if you do
what they want you to do,

your selflessness encourages
their selfishness, got it ?

Got it.

- Am I not right ?
- Yes, you're right.

- Isn't the wall looking nice ?
- Yes, it is.

Tomorrow I'll have the painter
make it more purple.

Why won't dads
let us be ourselves ?

Because they're jerks.

Life is a contest to see
who has the dumbest dad.

Right.

- You won't be a jerk with your kid.
- I'll try not to be a jerk.

When he's born, I'll ask myself
what Ariel would do.

And do the exact opposite.

Could you give me a moment

to have a private conversation
with this faggot ?

- I need to say something.
- What's the matter ?

I've seen my future.
And it's apocalyptic.

I'll have to run away
and leave everything behind.

I'm moving to another country.
It's the only solution.

I can't stay here. I can't bear to see
that child being born.

Thanks for letting me
have another serving.

You're welcome.

Having a great meal once
is worse than having a bad one twice.

I'm glad you liked it.

I'm recommending this place.
It will be a huge success.

I hope so.

I could eat until I explode
like in that Monty Python show,

but I won't get to the studio
in time tomorrow if I explode.

Congratulations, girls.

- Thanks.
- Thanks.

- Is that the restroom ?
-Yes.

Thanks.

Did you see that ?
I never saw anyone eat so much.

I guess he loved it.

Not just him. Everybody.
This will be a huge success.

I can't believe it.

- Hey ! What are you doing ?
- Are you okay ?

I guess so.

I had dinner in that pigsty
and now I have food poisoning.

Deco Gouveia gets food poisoning
at restaurant opening.

He's the only person
that was sick.

There's no way he got
food poisoning from our food.

- He lied. He made it up.
- Why would he do that ?

- I don't know.
- He ruined our restaurant.

No, it's quite the contrary.
We achieved something.

What ?

We're in the news.
We just need some good news.

How can we be good news when
everybody thinks our food sucks ?

I don't know yet,
but it's a blessing in disguise.

Karin. Good news,
I know what hotel Valentina's at.

- You know what this is ?
- I haven't the slightest idea.

- It's you, Ariel.
- Me ?

Yes, Lele drew it
and we helped him paint it.

I hope none of them
wants to be an artist.

They did it with a lot of love.
They really liked you.

Really ?

Yes, it's Gui's birthday.
We're celebrating in the garden.

He wants you to come
as his birthday present.

What ?

You're singing Happy Birthday.
I'll tell him you're coming.

Don't they know you don't make
last minute invites ?

- We'll be expecting you. Bye.
- Wait, I don't even know who...

Gui ?

- Good morning, Zanini.
- Good morning.

Yesterday was great, right ?

Yes, but I found out
something about me.

- What ?
- You guys are right. I am a prude.

- It didn't seem so.
- I took a pill. I was stoned and horny.

But I can't do that
every day, can I ?

It was nice,
but that was enough for me.

Hi, Zaidan.

Hi, Zanini.
Are you still mad at me ?

- Why would I be mad at you ?
- I see you didn't take the pill.

What ?

It's no good.
It doesn't do anything.

Get rid of it.
I'll give you your money back.

Zanini. Hello.

- Yes ?
- Are you okay ?

Yes, I'm fine.
But I need a favor, Zaidan.

Can we keep this between us ?

I hate looking like a fool.
I don't want anyone to find out.

- Sure. Don't worry about it.
- Okay. Thanks.

So Zanini went to work,
determined to forget all about it.

Hi, Valentina.

Karin. It's so nice to see you.
I was just going to phone you.

Really ?

Yes, I left without
even saying goodbye.

It happened so suddenly.
Sorry.

Why did Sintra's accuser
come to see you at the club ?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

I know what I'm talking about.
You need to come clean with me.

That goes in the room
at the end of the hall.

Thank you.

- Thanks for helping me out.
- I should thank you.

- What for ?
- For waking me up.

I need to be generous.
We can't be a selfish group.

- Good luck.
- Thanks.

A kiss.

OSCAR: WE NEED TO TALK.

I'm a war hero, faggot.
I learned how to beat my enemies.

What are you talking about ?

What am I talking about ?
About kids.

So you're not running away ?

Of course not. I'm staying.
I'll educate the kid.

Teach him everything,
turn him into a mini pimp.

- What's the matter, Karin ?
- It was Giancarlo.

He paid Valentina to find a girl
to lie about Sintra.

- Really ?
- Yes.

Unbelievable.

- He's protecting the building.
- He ruined somebody's life.

It's awful, but there's nothing
we can do about it.

- Sure we can.
- What are you up to ?

I'll make him absolve Sintra,
then dissolve our partnership.

No way, we'll lose the building
if you dissolve the company.

- No, we build it without him.
- How ?

I'll get the money to buy it.

- I've got a better plan.
- What's that ?

- Let sleeping dogs lie.
- No way.

There she goes
stirring things up again.

What you did is unacceptable.

I had to protect our business.
You should thank me.

- Thank you ?
- Yes, he's the enemy, not me.

He has every right to disagree.

Nobody should be ruined
for speaking their mind.

- He's a person, not an idea.
- A person with disgusting ideas.

Bribing women to lie
is disgusting.

I didn't bribe any women.
I only bribed one.

The others saw a chance and took it.
All scandals attract free riders.

No matter how many they were,
you were behind it.

- And you're fixing it.
- I'm not fixing anything.

If you don't, I will.
I'll report you to the media.

Karin, you need to understand
Sintra won't be convicted.

He'll just pay the women
to withdraw their accusations.

But his reputation is dead.

And the more you talk about it
the worse it gets for him.

And you can't prove
I had anything to do with it.

You only found her
