01x03 - O Impossível Não Pode Ser Possível

[bunniefuu]

Nobody knows what tomorrow holds

Destiny isn't a fixed game

And on this road's path

Each one should find their place

He who laughs first, laughs best

The bill comes for those
who pretend life is only one...

What did you do to that girl?

Marta. I had a terrible nightmare.

I dreamt
about the telenovela's premiere...

It wasn't a nightmare.

-The telenovela premiered.
-And Isabel?

Isabel entered the telenovela
full of anger and ruined it.

How did she enter it?

-Like God? Or a hacker? Or a superhero?
-A female superhero.

What will I do now?

You'll stick your head
into this ice bucket and wake up.

We have a full day ahead.

Start with Walter.

Where is he?

-No idea. Should I call and find out?
-No.

I'll call.

Good luck.

Lauro Valente.

That's why you were so secretive, right?

But you didn't want to show anyone
the first episode. Not even me.

And I trusted you
because you've never disappointed me.

On the contrary,
you've always exceeded my expectations.

This time you went too far.

You simply buried the telenovela.

You invented a new genre.

Lauro, you're a genius!

Walter, what happened
on the first episode yesterday,

that girl's appearance in the lead...

We really believe she's not an actress!

She's not.

We think she's an ordinary person,
from real life, wandering around.

She is.

Yes, a telenovela writer
who was available. A screenwriter who...

She's a screenwriter
who inexplicably fell into the telenovela.

That's the story
you'll have to stick to from now on.

You don't know what happened.
You have no clue.

But I don't have a clue
about what happened!

Lauro, my little genius!

Lauro, you're wonderfully shameless.

Your telenovela beat all possible records.

Not since the last century,
has a telenovela premiered

with the ratings of Destiny's Rebound.

We had an engagement level twice as high

as the finale of the previous telenovela.

So, as of today, you're
the most important person in this network.

Besides me, of course.

It also means that if I want
to do space tourism,

you'll stay here,
and be in charge of it all.

My marvelous and shameless, favorite son.

God, you're so wonderful.
You're a genius! Thank you!

You told Walter Isabel's appearance
was your idea?

No, I didn't.

Did you ask for an investigation?

I couldn't.

You didn't say you have no idea
what happened?

I did, but he didn't believe me.

You let him think
that nothing odd happened?

He congratulated everyone.
He's eager for today's episode.

It's all under control.

And impostor's syndrome
doesn't even cross your mind.

The male self-esteem is impressive.

You lost control of your show
and still want to go on?

-No, we have 10 episodes ready, right?
-No, we don't.

Hurricane Isabel used what we had.

Inácio should die in the tenth episode,
but he died in the first!

-He can't be seen on today's episode.
-f*cking b*tch.

I hope Isabel gets stuck in there forever.

This telenovela doesn't exist anymore.

It's over. Face it. Walter must too.

Gather the cast, Marta.

To say goodbye?

No, to sh**t today's new episode.

The car's here, let's go.

Wake up, Felipe! Now!

Come to the studio.
We're sh**ting.

CALLING...
ISABEL

Isabel.

What is it, Otto?

You're trying to find out
how Isabel got into our show?

This mystery is too sophisticated for me.

Does anyone have a theory
about what happened in the first episode?

Technology has no more limits.

"Technology has no more limits."

That's arrogant, Diego.
In my opinion, it's clearly spiritual.

Lauro's energy is very heavy.

"Lauro's energy is very heavy."

What was that?
Another hippie moment?

Did you know that she was writing
this telenovela from the beginning?

No, it was another one.

Lauro wrote a different version.

But it would've been the one
that would've aired

if Lauro hadn't written a new one.

It might be.

It might be Isabel's ghost taking revenge.

It would be a possibility
if Isabel were dead.

But has anyone here heard from her?

Light up this area...

Lauro.

Why sh**t?

So you can laugh at me
for believing I'd have the leading role?

I'm expecting an apology
for this betrayal.

There was no betrayal, Grazi.

You bothered to sh**t
two versions of every scene.

Everyone did. During the day, it was me.
At night, it was her.

Cássia, Dênis, Jorge, and even Otto!

Drama by day and comedy by night.

Everyone was sh**ting
two versions but me.

Don't you sleep?

There aren't two versions.

You too, Marta. One during the day,
and another one at night.

What are you?

-Vampires?
-Vampires don't exist, Grazi.

-Or we are all vampires. You choose.
-Choose? I don't have a choice.

-I've had enough.
-No, Grazi, please.

I need to apologize to you
for putting you through this.

I must apologize to the cast,
but trust me,

I was also misled and deceived.

But now we have the opportunity to turn
this mess into a collective work of art.

Believe it or not,
Destiny's Rebound is a hit!

And I need you and your talent
to keep it that way.

What now, Marta?
What if the other actors leave too?

DESTINY'S REBOUND

Hey, Lucredulous! Expanded fiction,
or a new way of thinking telenovelas

was launched yesterday
with Destiny's Rebound.

It's all a telenovela,
stolen from me by Lauro Valente.

Guys, I literally gagged.

Lauro Valente
did the impossible once more.

He subverted the genre of telenovelas.

I don't know about you, but I'm shocked.

-This channel's officially...
-Have you seen this?

Lauro Valente's little b*tch.

If I ever badmouthed him,
I've forgotten it.

Lauro Valente, the author and director,
affirms he hasn't written

any of Isabel's scenes
and that her appearance on the show

is still a big mystery to him.

It's a mystery, not only to me,
but also to the whole cast and crew.

Jorge, talk to us a bit.

I saw it today for the first time
when the episode aired.

-Thanks.
-You're handsome.

Overnight, Isabel Padilha has become
the biggest star in Brazilian television.

And Felipe Ramiro,
the most envied man around.

Who wouldn't want to be in his shoes,
playing her partner?

Even I'd like it.

In reality, there are two telenovelas.

One is on TV,
and the other is backstage.

Destiny's Rebound has Isabel Padilha
as the sensation of the real-life show.

The star is the actress
who's not even in the plot.

I dove into it. I studied.
I did everything right.

But it feels like I'm drowning.

BEST ACTRESS

Grazi is simply stunning in the role
of the actress whose character is stolen

by an unknown woman
on the day of the premiere.

She, who's won a reality show,
now shines in this metafiction universe.

Lauro knows what he's doing.

Grazi's interpretation
of her real-life character

holds a truth rarely seen
in such a young actress.

Which guarantees this will be

great, both on screen and off.

See you later, my Lucredulous fans!

Will we sh**t today's episode
or will we do it tomorrow?

We'll sh**t it right now.

DESTINY'S REBOUND

Can't you even pretend to be sad,
father-in-law?

I am sad.

Not like Romeu, but I'm sad.

And you, my granddaughter,

how do you feel about Inácio's death?

Neither good nor bad.

I don't think he'll be missed.

Guys, he was a character
with no charisma,

and no attitude.

And he didn't work in the plot.

A thankless role.

I find your way of viewing the world
very interesting, my granddaughter.

And how would you describe my character?
Who am I?

You're the Porto Carrero family's
great patriarch,

and all of you are
the telenovela's rich characters.

As far as I understand it,
you had two sons, identical twins,

but you only truly loved the first one.

The second one is back in that room.

May God bless his soul.

The first one was called Geraldo.

He was this and that.

And the second one was called Inácio.

And he was something else.

This one here.

João Marcelo.

She's very good.

He's your little prince.

This one is Tobias,

your viceroy.

They both fight
for your granddaughter's heart,

the story's good girl.

-Did I get it right, Isabel?
-Yes, you did.

Unfortunately for you,
that's the way things will go.

Fortunately for me,
I'm not your granddaughter.

Nor am I a good girl in a telenovela.

I ended up here because of an error,
some crazy twist of fate.

The telenovela's good girl is sweet.

I'm bitter.

Good one!

You are not leaving.

And you are the telenovela's good girl.

The old businessman's granddaughter,
who disappeared as a baby,

and that reappears all of a sudden
to take her place

as the heiress
of the family's entire empire.

Roberto, honey, don't you think
this game's gone too far?

No, Chiara, I don't.

When I look at you, Isabel,

I recognize myself.

And I'll teach you all I know.

So you can become
Ultralux's next president.

Nobody knows where she came from,
how she was raised or educated.

I was raised

by a second aunt who hated children,

but she loved,

she loved telenovelas.

I've spent my life

watching telenovelas

of every time slot

sitting next to her.

Aunt Amélia.

I'd never do that.

And we are the ones from the telenovela.

My dear, with that inventive spirit,

you can only be Geraldo and Maristela's
daughter, my granddaughter.

If I were you,
I wouldn't believe it either.

Your employee record at the factory
says you have a mother too.

Her name's Daphne. She's a cop.

I know who she is.

She was the first one I met
when I got here.

Officer Daphne is your mother?

Do you know her?

I took the liberty of inviting...

Officer Daphne.

So you were the charitable soul

who took care of my granddaughter
all these years.

Who would say?

You've called me. I'm here.

What do you want?

So they already know each other.

They still have some issues
from the past to deal with.

Gosh, Lauro, there's a limit
to coincidences, even in a telenovela!

Your daughter is anxious about her past.
Maybe you can help.

Why don't you tell us
how my granddaughter got to you?

Many years ago,
I came across a terrible accident.

And I didn't think
I would find any survivors.

Then, I heard a baby crying.

Help!

And I heard her cry for help.

Please,

take care of my baby, Isabel,

as if she were yours.

She can't live near the Porto Carrero.

That family is too dangerous.

So I took care of Isabel

with all the love in the world.

And I respected Maristela's last words.

I got it.

I know how to prove this is a telenovela.

Inácio's body is not inside this coffin.

How do I know? I know.

No one would ever sh**t a scene
with a closed coffin in a wake

with a body inside it.

But we saw the body! I saw the body.

I want to know the cause of death.
Was it natural?

Yes, very natural. A g*nsh*t.

Open the coffin now.

Open the coffin.

Look! Tell me now
if this is not a telenovela,

ladies and gentlemen.

Jesus! Who stole Inácio?

We'll find out exactly
what happened, I promise.

-I'll investigate it.
-Enough.

Enough with the investigation.

If you insist on that,

I won't hesitate to report you
for abducting my granddaughter

and allowing her to get to us
in this state.

-What state?
-Rio de Janeiro.

Honey,

there's something you must know.

I got your diagnosis and the blow
to your head was very strong,

and now you're suffering from a syndrome

known as impostor's syndrome.

No! Lauro!

Are you serious, you prick?
I can't believe it.

You're in denial of your reality.

You created the illusion you came
from another dimension.

It's not easy to become
an heiress overnight.

I got it.

I got it. You won't be able to help me.

Everything I say will automatically
be transformed into a new plotline.

I'm trapped in a fictional labyrinth.

I need to figure out
how to get out of here.

All by myself. Romeu.

I need a car.

Of course. Where to?

Ultralux.

I need to go back to the place
where it all started.

But what now?

We didn't sh**t, produce, or include

any Ultralux scene in today's episode.

Guys, everyone must leave,
there can't be anyone here.

Has anyone called Daphne?

Everything must be just like it was.

Except for the IV, not the IV!

I'm afraid of needles.
There's no need for the drip.

It can be fake.

Wait, I don't think you get it.
All of this is an illusion.

Got it? It's an illusion!

Hurry up! Go after her!

How did they do that?

How do you explain it?

There are less invasive treatments
for such ailments.

-Is this augmented reality?
-No, it's CGI.

They change the face.
They did that to that actor.

That wouldn't work.
With her it's electroshock or exorcism.

It's from Ultralux.

Yes?

Yes.

Isabel is making a fuss at the factory.
I must go.

-Me too.
-Me too.

Eighty percent of the factory
is CGI. It doesn't exist.

The physical set was disassembled,
so there's no Ultralux.

I didn't hire those extras.

-What are they doing there?
-I don't know.

Guys, Isabel
can materialize her imagination!

Colleagues, a minute, please.
I need to tell you something.

Your life is a telenovela.

Everything around you
is part of that telenovela.

I know it sounds crazy,

but it's not what you're thinking.

Relax.

I'll explain what it is.
It's just...

When I woke up from the accident,
this is what I thought.

I'd had some memory loss.

So I started denying all that was linked
to my life before the accident.

And I've just found out
that it has a name,

which is impostor's syndrome.

Clearly, I'm not fully cured,

but at least I understand
that I have a health problem.

Where is it?

So I'd like to apologize

to all the people I might have hurt,

including my mother and you,
my former colleagues.

And now,
I'll become the heiress of all this.

So I also apologize
to the Porto Carrero family

that loves me so much.

I'm sorry, family.

I'll also love you very much.

And I swear I'll never say
I want to leave here again.

DESTINY'S REBOUND

You're moving your eyes.

Why only your eyes?

You win. I'm a real person,
from the real world.

What do you want to know?

How do I get out of here?
