01x03 - A Love Divided

[bunniefuu]

So what you're telling me is…

that you're carrying
two babies from two fathers?

Yeah.

I'm a scientific rarity.

I'm not crazy, I'm not making this up.

You could say that I'm a freak of nature!

Extremely rare.

Oh, Liana, Liana, this is bullshit.
What have you done? f*ck!

-You betrayed me!
-And so did you!

And then you walked out.

I was so upset I couldn't think straight.

You had an affair, you hypocrite.

You were going to hide it.

I didn't think it mattered
anymore after the hospital.

Everything was about moving forward.

You begged my forgiveness,
and said, "Let's leave it all behind."

I guess those words only apply to you?

You can screw around,
but I don't have a right to forgiveness?

I think you're pulling my leg. Yeah.

It's impossible.

A bad joke.

Tomás…

Those twins inside of you.

One belongs to…
…this f*ck' idiot!

And the other one? Whose the f*ck is it?

-I was so lost, Tomás. It was awful.
-Huh?

No! It wasn't that you were lost.

It's that you were desperate!
Obsessed and desperate for a child!

Don't talk like that.

You became so possessed
that you acted like a wh*re!

f*cking the first as*h*le
you got your hands on!

-Don't you dare call me a wh*re!
-Are you trying to ruin my life?

-It wasn't like that.
-Don't talk!

-I swear it wasn't like that.
-Don't talk!

-I don't want to hear another word.
-Tomás…

Not another word.

-Tomás.
-f*ck!

-f*ck!
-Tomás!

Tomás.

I am carrying our son.

And I love you.

I love you so much.

DESPERATE LIES

I didn't want to.

I really didn't want it to happen.

I was…

so mad, and I just drank too much.

After that…

I was too ashamed to say anything.

I didn't have the courage
to talk about what happened.

I wanted to forget.

Just put it all behind
and try to erase it.

You remember who it was?

I do.

Say it, Liana.

It was Oscar.

Os…

Os… Wha…

Oscar?

Are you serious?

How can…

You actually screwed that loser?

-You stooped that low?
-I was out of it.

So he got me home,
and helped me get inside.

Wha… Here?

He was in our house? You brought
that as*h*le here where we live?

It wasn't like that, Tomás.

Forgive me.

Forgive me.

Please forgive me.

I'm not God, though.

I forgave you.

What're we gonna do?

I don't know.

I know what we need to do about this.

What?

We terminate the one that's not ours.

-So no more twins?
-Mm-hm.

We keep our son's embryo,
and we terminate the other one.

What is it? You actually want Oscar's son?

I'm just wondering how it'd work.

I don't know yet.
We'll have to look into it.

Liana, this guy…

He's a real scumbag. A, um…

manipulator.

I'm gonna tell you something
my dad recently told me.

This b*stard suffered a lot…

after Lucas' accident, right?

Everyone felt very sorry for him.

He told everyone that…

your brother insisted on driving,
and that he felt bad,

that he should've stopped him,
and their lives wouldn't have been ruined.

It's bullshit.

He's a liar.

The two of them were on drugs.

Both of them were high as hell.

Your brother and Oscar.

Nobody knows that version.

But it's the truth.

He plays the victim. It's pitiful.

It was his dad who got him outta trouble.
Bribed the police to cover it up.

Who hid the fact
there were drugs in the car.

That's it.

Mom!

-Yes?
-Mom!

Which one looks cooler?

Are you sure you wanna go
to this party on your own?

Hm. I'd actually rather
watch TV on the couch with you.

Of course I'm going!

-The stripes.
-Thanks. Stripes are cooler.

Hello?

Hey, Liana!

Right now?

Of course.

That works. See you.

If someone attacked me, I don't
have to carry out the pregnancy?

No, you absolutely don't have to.

This man r*ped you.

You have a right to a legal ab*rtion.

What makes things complicated in your case
is that there are two embryos.

It would only be for one.

We want to know if there's a possibility
that we could abort only the one.

And keep just ours.

We would have to be very discreet,
but it's quite dangerous, Tomás.

Attempting a selective
intervention like that could

affect the other embryo,
and you could end up losing them both.

It's a nightmare.

It's complicated, I know.

I'm sorry there's not
more I can do for you.

Liana? You all right?

Huh?

Hey, what's wrong?

Let's sit down. Come on.

Take it easy. There you go. Breathe.

What is it?

-Huh?
-I… I think I didn't eat enough.

Okay. Stay here,
I'll go get you something.

Stay here.

Hi. Is there somewhere I can get a juice
or a snack?

Here you go.

Sorry it took so long.

We'll have to be more mindful.

You need to eat.

I'm not willing to risk our son, Tomás.

It's just not worth it.

Huh?

We should proceed with the pregnancy.
Until the end.

Hey.

-You all right?
-Yeah, it's all good.

You wanna sell it?

You've loved skateboarding
since you were little.

Why would you sell it?

I used to love it.

But now it's not as fun
because I can't see well enough.

Not even in broad daylight on a nice day?

When the sun's shining and
you can get some exercise?

I can't use this anymore.

I wanna sell it.

Then I'm going to start
playing
Guitar Hero.

What's Guitar Hero?

A really cool game. My thing is music.

If I get hurt skateboarding,
I can't play, you know?

-I get it.
-One thing for another.

Can I do it?

-Of course.
-Shake on it.

It's all good.

Marcela? It's Tomás.

Find out who the hell wrote the petition
you just sent me. It's crap.

I'll have to rewrite the damn thing.
Yeah. Thank you.

Can you let Liana know that
your mom wants to organize a lunch?

-We want to celebrate the upcoming news.
-What news, Dad?

I'm busy here.

All right. I won't interrupt your work.

We'll talk when you're
not in such a foul mood.

Wait.

Sorry.

But things at home…
are stressful these days.

I'm sure they are.

Pregnant women can be vicious.

But you've got a shoulder to lean on.

You'll get through it.

Ah!

And that petition…

I'm the one who wrote it.

ASSOCIATED LAWYERS

I can't do this, Cláudia.

Sorry.

Why not?

You're the one who called me.

I know. But I can't be here.

I shouldn't have called you.

I'm just confused.

AMPARO CLINIC

Wow, this is perfect!

We have a wonderful red
roof for our house now.

Good job, Max.

You're so good at this.

Now go gently at the end,
so you don't cut too much. Easy!

Good.

One, two, three.

DAILY LIFE ACTIVITIES

Hey, Max. You like those scissors?

I'm glad. Erica?

NO NEW MESSAGES

I almost didn't come home tonight.

But when you've found it…

you don't just walk away
from the love of your life.

There's not a switch you can just flip.
Turn it on or off.

I don't know if I can do this.

I love you.

I love you so much.

I love you.

We're strong enough.

Us two.

Yeah.

Together.

-Yeah.
-I love you.

We're gonna be so happy.

You, me and our son.

You think?

All the things I pictured
we would do with our lives…

I don't know anymore.

Are we… really going to pretend that
this is our child, and not that scumbag's?

Love him the same?

Hey. Don't do that.

-What do we say if people ask?
-No one will know.

Sílvia would never tell a soul.

Anyway, we're only gonna raise our son.

We'll just give the other one away.

Okay.

But until they're born,
what're we gonna do?

We won't say that it's twins.

I want this baby so much.

We deserve to have our child.

The other one will have a chance
at a family and real love.

Someone out there is waiting.

They're just dying
to have a child to love.

They won't look at him the way we would.

There's just one?

-I thought it was twins?
-That's what Sílvia thought too.

It was just a shadow.

When did you figure this out?

We did another ultrasound.
Just to make sure.

-There's only one.
-Hmm.

I'm kind of relieved.

And it's been confirmed.
Tomás is the father.

Oh!

One less problem there.

And one less tragedy.

I would never have Oscar's child.

Do you have to talk
about my brother like that?

Oscar made a mistake
but you kind of did too.

You were both flying pretty high.

Who knows exactly
what happened that night?

I know exactly what happened that night!

Okay. But the condom could
have come off by accident.

I'm sorry, but trying to excuse your
brother's actions is wrong, Débora!

-f*ck!
-Yes, he's immature, but he's not evil!

What?

He wouldn't have done
something like that to you.

I'm not trying to protect him.
When he and Lucas got in--

Enough!

Enough about that accident!

I don't wanna hear about
that day anymore. Please!

I know it wasn't easy for Oscar,
but he used me and my mother.

He took advantage of both
of us to play the victim!

My brother wasn't a saint,
but he's the one who died.

And Oscar fed the lies

that made Lucas the only one
to blame for what happened

because he was drunk
when they were both out of it!

The cops found drugs
and alcohol in the car!

And your brother got out
of it because of your dad.

My dad? Where'd you get that?

Jonas.

Tomás just found out.

You are my best friend.

But I never want to see Oscar again.

What kind of lawyer
tells his wife everything?

-He can't do that!
-Just answer my question!

Were you and Lucas both drunk,
on drugs, and driving like idiots?

Who cares? He was driving.

It doesn't matter now.

Of course it does! You lied!

And that means you've kept
on f*cking up since then!

And that you told me a bullshit story,
you as*h*le,

and Dad covered it up and lied to me too!

Lucas died that day.

And my career died that day.
Nothing can change that.

Oh, at least stop playing the victim!

I am the victim!

We were the unstoppable duo.

I lost my best friend and my career.

My life was f*cked!

What do you think I should've done?
Get in trouble with the cops?

Is that it?

Dad pulled a few strings for his son,
so what?

Lucas was gone.

The truth wouldn't change that.

You piece of sh*t.

Do you know how much Liana suffered?

-What do I do with this?
-You do not a f*cking thing.

If anyone's playing the victim, it's her.
Okay?

It's done. And we covered it up.

Lying is what helped me survive.
So the truth doesn't matter.

Bye.

You're pregnant?

Great news. Congratulations.

Aren't you happy for me?

I'm delighted.

-It shows.
-Ah. Liana. Don't be so sensitive.

You know how I am.

Is it a boy or a girl?

-A boy.
-Wonderful.

Have you chosen a name?

-It's Tomás' decision.
-Ah, Tomás, of course.

That means "Lucas"
will not be in the running.

Don't start that, please.

You sure you're up for this lunch?

Quite!

You're all I have left. And my grandson.

To our long-awaited grandson!

Future heir to my empire.

-Mm!
-Cheers.

-To our grandson!
-Cheers!

And my grandson.

-Two grandchildren. We're so lucky.
-Twice blessed.

-But our Inácio has no interest in law.
-He can have the empire.

I'm just excited to have a cousin.

Take the pressure off me.

You'll be a great big cousin!

And maybe Liana and Tomás
will have more boys. Or a girl.

Yes, but just one at a time.

Little Jonas or Tomás Jr?

-Mom, you're too much!
-It's all right.

We'll let you know when we've
chosen his name. A strong one.

Your mom means well.
What matters is the family name.

I'd say love is what matters.

I am a little worried.

I don't know about you, but I didn't
show that much at this stage.

Women carry differently.
It can vary a lot.

It's twins.

No. Liana's had an ultrasound already.
There's only one.

-You're sure?
-Yes.

Ah.

Can we eat now?

-Let's go!
-You must be starving.

Your mommy's eating for two, right?

I might not get seconds!

Hungry teenager,
we better sit down.

-Should I leave my glass?
-We're not wasting this champagne.

We have more.

Sílvia?

-Hello.
-Good afternoon, Doctor.

Uh…

You know, I've been trying to reach you.

Maybe you're avoiding me because our
last conversation was a little intense.

No. I'm not avoiding you.

I've just been running around like crazy.

I'm here for one of my
patients who thinks she's in labor.

I know what that's like.

I actually finished my work for today.

Maybe you can check on your patient,
and then we can grab a bite to eat?

-Uh…
-We can stay close to here.

Not tonight.

I don't like leaving Inácio alone,

and I'm supposed to pick him up
at a party a little bit later.

Oh. I need to get this. It's him.

Hey, Inácio. What's up?
I just got to the hospital.

Oh yeah?

It's the same house where the party is?

Yeah. Sounds good.

Can you please let me know
when you get there so I don't worry?

That work?

Yeah, love you too.

I think you just got the night off.

I'm so nervous. It's his first sleepover.

Well, good for him!

And good for me too. Huh?

I guess. You're buying.

You know,
you just made my night.

You say you admire me,
you think I'm impressive.

-You've never let me know it.
-What are you talking about, Vicente?

-You haven't.
-How long have you and I known each other?

-At least years.
-And you didn't know I admire you?

You know, you're a little mysterious.
And always professional.

But you are the smartest doctor,
and most charming colleague I know.

Are you actually trying to flirt with me?

Mm-hm…

And I'm talking about my parents,
my crazy family,

complaining about my work,
how embarrassing!

Can we just start
this entire evening over?

I love it. You're talking about
your real life and I find it fascinating.

Don't stop.

You can talk about your family,
and your son…

unless that's going to
make you miss him too much.

Hm?

I miss him a little.

I think about him even
when I'm having fun.

Inácio's always on my mind.
I can't help it.

I always worry he's going to get hurt.

I'm overprotective, I know.
But my job is to look out for him.

-So what can I do?
-
Let go a little.

Let him have fun.

He'll be fine.

And we can flirt, right?

Yeah?

-This way.
-Really?

-Yep.
-Vicente!

Come here.

Hold on.

Here we go.

See these? Huh?

ACTIVE LABOR

You can push
anywhere from two minutes to hours.

And that's why the umbilical cord is
kept intact for a few minutes after birth
,

to allow for blood flow…

Feel this. Quickly.

I feel it.

-Do you?
-I sure do.

-And here too.
-Wow.

-Here.
-Hm.

Losing a World Cup is not
the end of the world. Unfortunately…

PIVÔ NIGHTCLUB
BRAZIL

-Aw!
-No!

Okay, okay! I gotta talk!

We might be knocked out, but that
doesn't mean the party has to stop!

-Yeah! Woo!
-Let's go. Hit it, DJ!

Let's drown our sorrows!

Mateus is gonna be
a cyclist like his dad.

Mateus?

Nice.

Mateus is looking good.

Mateus means "Gift from God."
Did you know?

Yeah. He's our gift.

Our miracle.

This is
the other baby's heartbeat.

He's doing fine, too.

Mateus, baby number one,

is currently in cephalic presentation.

Closer to the cervix,
so he'll be coming out first.

And still bigger than number two.

Well, that's good.

I want a natural birth.

I know.

It is possible not to have a C-section.

When you're closer to your due date,
we'll look at all the options. 'Kay?

Right this way, ma'am.

-Thank you.
-My pleasure.

Save this one
for your brother, right?

Which color?

And?

For you?

Who will you give yours to? To me?

How sweet!

Thank you.

For me?

Thanks, sweetie.

-Hm. All right, who's next?
-It's lovely!

I think she likes you.

She's a quiet one.

The conditions seem good here.

But it's still sad.

It doesn't have to be.

There's beauty everywhere.

Do you come here a lot?

I volunteer.

I really like to teach them
arts and crafts.

Read stories, be their friend.

I come with my husband. Sergio?

We're on the waiting list to adopt,
but it's a very long process.

Hello.

You met my wife?

Sergio.

-Liana.
-Nice to meet you.

Betina, and welcome.
It's nice to see new faces.

I'm sorry, but I need
to steal her a second.

-I want to show you something.
-What?

Look at this one.

-Right.
-Well… Liana?

We thought you'd left.

I've been trying to
get a taxi for a while.

We can take you.

-Hop in with us!
-Are you sure?

-That's what cars are for.
-Of course!

-Hang up, now.
-Let's go.

I don't wanna be a bother.

It's our pleasure. Just tell us
where you want us to take you.

-My mom is a teacher too, Betina.
-Really?

It was lovely to watch you
with the children today.

You have a great connection.

We've always wanted kids of our own.

I had a dream the other night
that a baby was left on our doorstep.

-Are you serious?
-I did!

See what it does to us?
We've been waiting for so long.

I think I might have the answer.

Can we go for coffee?

I don't understand.

You wanna give away your own child?

I don't want to.

But… my husband doesn't want kids.

I'm very religious, so…

I can't imagine getting rid of it.

I decided that adoption
was the best thing for my son.

But I prefer to choose.
And if you want him then he'll be yours.

I'm sorry, Liana.

But that's not really how things work.

I mean, there's all kinds
of legal considerations.

Sergio…

her husband doesn't
want to keep this child.

-And all we've ever wanted is to have one.
-I know, my darling.

But what she's suggesting is ill*gal.

I know how to make it happen.

They're a lovely couple.

Hm.

And they've been waiting
to adopt for a really long time.

They're both great with kids,
and she's a teacher.

Mm-hm.

Tomás, just listen.

This is the best solution.

When you meet them,
I know you'll see it the way I do.

I know this will work out for us.

Let me…

It's done.

PIVO NIGHTCLUB

He's wasted tonight.

Hi. What can I get you?

Enjoy, bro.

Mojito special! Who wants one?

Hey.

What's up, brother?

It's hoppin', my man.
This place is super hot.

I've been really lucky.
You drinking tonight?

I'll just have a beer.

WORLD CUP SUCCESS: NIGHTCLUB CONTINUES
TO BE A HIT WITH GAMES AND LOTS OF BEER

Look.

Your little friend's nightclub's the spot.

You know he's not my friend.

He's got 'em all fooled.

Piece of sh*t.

Whew!

Mm! My God! It's like a party in there.

Breakfast really seems to get them going.

Especially Mateus.

You can't reschedule the ultrasound?

No. Sílvia said it was
the only time she was free.

Okay. Well, there's no way
I can clear my schedule today.

-Mm?
-Not a problem.

I'll call to tell you how it went.

I'm waiting for you, big boy.

Mm.

So, Mateus looks fantastic.

How are you doing, Liana?

I'm tired and rest a lot.

And that's totally normal.

You're in the home stretch
of a multiple pregnancy, you know?

And everything is looking excellent.

Is there anything you wanna discuss?

Something you wanna ask?

No, I'm good.

Just impatient.

I think it's going to happen soon.

Both of them are in cephalic position now.

Mateus is… here, closer to the cervix.

And the other one is a little higher up.

I wanna have them at home, Sílvia.

-A home birth.
-Are you serious?

Not a chance.

It's much too risky with two babies.

-I can take the pain of labor.
-It's got nothing to do with the pain.

The risk factor is higher with twins.
It's about their safety.

Complications can arise with each baby,
so we need to take precautions.

We can try for a vaginal birth
with no epidural

if we see that they can handle it.

Are we finished?

Almost.

See there?

Baby number two is also doing well.

A bit smaller than his brother still.

Hear that?

What a strong heartbeat. He's a warrior.

A warrior.

-His name is Marcos.
-Marcos?

Marcos?

She's been calling the baby Marcos.

Are you okay with that?

Of course.

Liana, Sergio and I just want
what is best for you and the baby.

Thank you.

We'll probably
hit a bit of traffic.

-Of course, it's a holiday.
-Yeah.

I'll get the door for you.

You all right?

I could use a little back rub.

It's not contractions?

Not contractions.

All right.

We could just have a lazy time here, but…

if Sílvia says we can get out of town,
I say we hit it.

Me too.

Thank you, Isaías.

I'm expecting a package.

Can you hold on to it?

-Of course. Safe travels.
-Thank you.

Ahh.

I'll help you get out.

Hold on. Hold on.

Still hurts?

-Mm-hm.
-Sorry.

Liana?

Li?

What are these for?

I brought them just in case.

Oh.

-We're going back to the city.
-It's too late for that.

We can't just stay here!
We'll go to the closest hospital!

I don't want to go.

We're going! I'm going to call my sister,
and ask her to meet us there.

Sílvia, I need to talk to you.

Call me back as soon as you get this.

Sílvia's not answering. Damn it!

What are you doing?

I'll do it here.

-We're going to the hospital now.
-Come here!

-It's happening here, Tomás!
-No! I'm going to get the car.

Ah!

Liana?

Liana!

Liana!

Liana!

Liana?

Liana!

Liana?

Liana?

Liana?

Ah!

Liana?

-Jesus, Liana.
-He's coming.

-Huh?
-Our baby's coming, Tomás.

Bring me the bag. You need to bring it!

-What? What do you want?
-The bag, Tomás!

Here.

Here. Now tell me.

Tell me what you want me to do? Huh?

-Tell me what to do.
-Take him, take him, take him, take him.

He's coming.

I see him. I see him.

Keep going.

He's coming.

Yes. Yes.

I've got him.

-Ah!
-Oh my God.

My son, my boy.

Here you go.

That's my son.

Mateus!

We need to tie off the cord. I've put
the thread and the scissors in there.

-Here?
-The bag. Outside pocket.

Ow.

Can I cut it?

-Cut it here?
-Yes.

I'll take him.

Come, come, come.

Daddy's here.

Where are you going?

Mateus, my son. Don't cry. Daddy's here.

There we are.

Tomás!

Tomás!

Tomás!

Tomás! He's coming!

Tomás, he's coming!

Tomás!

I need you to help me!

Tomás!

Tomás!

Tomás!

Ah! Ah! Ah!

I'm here.

-I'm here.
-Tomás! He's close.

All right. Okay.

Good.

What's wrong?

He isn't crying, Tomás!

Tomás?

Show me. Please. Gimme my son.

He's purple, I don't know.

-I don't know what to do. He's purple.
-Turn him over and massage his back.

Rub him up and down
when you turn him over.

Hurry!
