01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

[soft music playing]

Did you stay up all night?

Why didn't you say anything?

I didn't expect that to happen.

I was afraid.

I would have supported you, Deusa.

I would have supported you.

I promise I won't let

any of this get between us.

Okay?

[laughs softly]

I don't want to hold you back

not with the band

or with our relationship.

You're free, Deusa.

- I know.

- You always were.

Isn't that your mother's?

I was gonna give it to you

after the show the other night.

Saint Anthony's Day.

It's a year already.

It went by so quick.

It was a It was a good year, though.

Right?

Right.

So am I still going to get that ring or

have I lost it?

I love you.

Am I wrong or is this

you proposing to me now?

[Deusa chuckles]

Only for love.

Right?

[gentle music playing]

[alarm beeping]

[beeping continues]

[Tadeu] It's your first day.

You don't wanna be late.

[Cesár] Renan.

Everything okay with the loan?

No, no, I haven't told her yet,

but let's just go ahead

and I'll have Ana Lígia

sign it at the end.

Yeah, we just need

a little extra help at the moment.

Fantastic. Okay, I'll swing by

the bank today. Thanks.

- [music playing on headphones]

- [in Portuguese] You have gone too far

We can't go any further

You've been

You swore

Where I cried, you cried

You accepted my proposal

[door closing]

You mistreated my heart

I don't even know who I am anymore

It's no use anymore

No more suffering

No more crying

You have gone too far

We can't go any further

You've been where I've been

You swore where I swore

You cried where I cried

You accepted my proposal

I loved too much

You used it

You mistreated my heart

You mocked everything I did

I don't know who I am anymore

Go to hell with your love

[Eva in English] I think I got everything.

So, I'm going. Bye.

You know, I can't believe you.

That's it?

I took you into my house

thinking you had no money.

You played me.

It wasn't like that, Roberta.

What was it like?

A vacation from the good life?

Slumming, is that it?

You act like I'm a spoiled little brat.

All I wanted to do

was try and get a song recorded.

That's even worse.

You never even mentioned Alex.

Me and half this town have

been struggling to get a break for years

without any luck.

And you come waltzing down here

and buy your way in.

But, sure, you're not spoiled.

No, I'm not spoiled.

It's hard to explain.

Obviously.

You've never bothered to explain anything.

And the little you did tell me was a lie.

Right, Maria Antônia?

What you and I had, that was real.

It was for me, at least.

[downbeat music playing]

[Eva sighs]

[door closes]

[Valdo] Even the hostels

are expensive, bro.

[Patrício] Let's see.

Maybe we need to look

at places farther out of town.

- Yeah, I guess that might work.

- [Tadeu] What are you guys talking about?

Well, we thought we'd better

look for another place to stay.

- Why?

- [Valdo] "Why?"

Since Deusa went with Marcolo,

we'd rather not stay here in her house.

[Tadeu scoffs] Okay.

First of all, the house is mine, okay?

It's my house

and all of you are welcome here.

My mom loved it when the house was full.

And being in a band means more

than just playing together, all right?

As a band, we're a little weak in

the lead singer department without Deusa.

Yeah, she's gone, but I'm not.

And you guys haven't left, right?

- Hey, that's the spirit! Hallelujah!

- [laughing]

[Nelton] So we're

going back out on the road?

Like this?

The four of us with no lead singer?

Will it be okay?

[upbeat music playing]

[Edgar] Let's find your best side.

I'm pretty sure it's the right.

- [Edgar] It's definitely the left.

- [Cesár] Yeah, it's sexier.

I want to see a whole new Deusa.

I want new hair for her,

and a dress that shows her body off more,

and maybe a facial, huh?

- [Kriss] Mmm.

- Deusa. Deusa.

- Yeah?

- Show me that smile again.

[Cesár chuckles] That's great. Thanks.

What if we just have her redo

that cover she did of Daniel's song?

- I mean, it went viral. It makes sense.

- Edgar, I wish you'd listen.

The narrative here is very simple,

Deusa is Daniel's replacement.

We're launching her at his memorial.

Period.

Go crazy with all the clichés.

They always work.

"The king is dead, long live the queen."

sh*t like that.

We could say she was his protégé?

Spin it like Daniel had always encouraged

her and believed in her, you know?

- Yeah, that's good.

- Yeah, but I didn't even know Daniel.

- You knew his music.

- Yes.

Then you knew Daniel. He was his music.

He and Ana Lígia spent hours going over

every song. Remember, César?

Where is Ana Lígia, anyway?

Isn't she coming?

Let's keep focused, all right?

We don't have much time here.

We've got to get on this.

Let's do a photo sh**t

and get a teaser made.

Because tomorrow, my shining star Deusa

is going into the studio.

Like, to record something?

New songs or what?

Don't worry.

I've got people working on it.

Oh, um

Listen, are you on Instagram,

Twitter, and everything?

Oh, yeah, I post all the time.

- [Edgar] Cool! Delete all of it.

- [Deusa] What?

[Edgar] We'll be

handling all that from now on.

Hey, do you know any singers like

like Deusa that want to be in a band?

I know singers, yeah.

But singers like Deusa? No, I don't.

She doesn't have to be exactly like Deusa,

but, you know

No, she just has to

have perfect pitch, right?

And be able to sing

for hours and hours on end.

And be presentable, and charming,

be able to handle drunks.

What else? She has to be able to travel.

So that means no husband or kids, right,

to get in the way?

Is that it or have I left something out?

Well, if she can play an instrument,

that would be a plus.

That's right,

because Deusa plays, like, ten.

Maybe even more than that.

Guys, you might as well face it,

if you're going for

another female lead singer,

you're never gonna find

another one like Deusa or even close.

We know that.

We know, but we have to keep trying.

Hey, this band's gonna work!

Just you wait, it will, yeah!

You wanna bet? Hmm?

Yeah, it's easy to

find singers in this town.

But finding talent's

definitely a whole other thing.

But, if you want, tomorrow afternoon,

before I open, I'll let you

use the bar to audition some singers.

We good? Everything has a price!

[door closes]

- Hey, are you and Gorete, like

- Oh, we're friends.

Just friends, yeah. You know

there's never a second time with her.

Ah, so there was a first, huh?

- It was nothing!

- Oh, so the cuckold's revenge!

- Come on, stop!

- The cuckold's revenge! [laughing]

More energy. "Yo, guys!"

Keep it fresh and bright. Try it again.

Yo, guys! I'm here because

we need a new lead vocalist.

Me and my band, that is.

And forget it.

[Luana] Will you relax? It's just a video.

[sighs] But I've never done one.

- There's a first time for everything.

- Why can't we just post a text on Twitter?

- Yeah, Twitter. That's smart.

- Uh-huh.

I'm sure your 36 followers from church

will be a big help.

You know,

- I've been thinking about auditioning.

- What about college?

Are you gonna

be a veterinarian or a singer?

Well, why can't I do both things?

Anyway, look,

I'd be a great lead singer for you.

I posted this yesterday and it's already

got more than a thousand views.

You made a dance video?

- Oh! Jealous, are we?

- Uh, a little.

- We can make one together.

- You're crazy.

- Come on, it'll be fun!

- You're out of your mind.

The happiest couples

are the ones who make videos.

Come on.

And

[phone chimes]

So, okay, and

[in Portuguese] Wow, wow

This way you're gonna k*ll me

Oh, if I catch you

Oh, oh, my God, If I catch you

Delicious, delicious

This way you're gonna k*ll me

Oh, if I catch you

Oh, oh, my God, If I catch you

- [in English] Toes right.

- My toes?

Yeah. Now go.

ARE YOU A SINGER? LOOKING FOR A BAND?

COME TO THE AUDITIONS!

[Daniel Soh on recording] César,

I just met an incredible songwriter.

She played me a song

that's gonna be a hit. Call me back.

César, I just met

an incredible songwriter.

She played me a song

that's gonna be a hit. Call me back.

- [knock on door]

- [Kriss] César, the photo sh**t.

Are you coming?

César?

Hey!

- César!

- What?

- The photo sh**t. Are you coming?

- Huh? No!

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

- No, Kriss. You handle it.

- What's wrong?

I told you Daniel had a song.

He found one he loved.

He called me the day of the accident.

He said he'd met a songwriter.

- Did she come to the show?

- Not that I know.

But there was kind of

a lot going on that night.

But do you have a name?

I can check the backstage passes

from that night.

No name.

It'd be the perfect song

to launch Deusa with.

[Kriss] Yeah, I suppose it would.

Well, we can try, I guess,

but without even a name to go on,

and you know how many

passes Daniel used to hand out

- I owe it to him, you know?

- Yeah.

He was so sure

that song would be a hit for us.

[Kriss] Yeah.

Well, I'm off.

Thank you.

[soft music playing]

THE BAND ONLY FOR LOVE

LOOKS FOR A NEW LEAD SINGER

[indistinct chatter on PA]

[Tereza on phone] Stolen?

Were you robbed, Eva?

[Eva] No. I mean, they stole it

because they won't give it back to me.

[Tereza] I don't understand.

[Eva] Just don't tell my dad, okay?

I'll explain it all later.

[sighs] I thought things would be easier.

[Tereza] Now, now, chin up!

Though I'm starting to regret

that I gave you that song.

No, no, no, you did everything right.

It's my bad.

Do you think I'm spoiled?

Oh, sweetie. You're loved is what you are.

By the way, I have some news

that'll cheer you up.

Hang on. I have it right in here.

[Tereza] The academy in Vienna responded.

Aren't you curious?

It's what you've always wanted, isn't it?

Tereza, I have to call you back. Love you.

[clerk] Thank you, have a nice day.

LOCKERS

- [clerk] Hi, how are you?

- Sorry, excuse me.

Look, I've got the key!

The key to my violin case!

- Please, just try opening it!

- Would you mind getting in line, please?

- Come on, I swear I'm telling the truth.

- [customer] Thanks.

- I beg you.

- Look, I get it.

I believe you, but your violin

isn't even here anymore.

What? Why not?

A guy came and got it.

He knew you'd come back for it.

But wait a minute, what guy?

The guy who took your violin.

He left a note for you.

MEET ME AT CUCKOLD'S BAR AT 10:00 P.M.

You gave my violin to a complete stranger?

He's a stranger, you're a stranger.

He had the claims ticket.

What was I supposed to do?

Now, if you wouldn't mind. Next!

[indistinct chatter on PA continues]

[upbeat music playing]

[upbeat music continues]

There we go, that's the one.

- Smile, Deusa.

- [man] Just look at the camera. Trust me.

There we go. That's nice.

Chin up a little bit. That's it.

Deusa, the camera's your best friend.

Trust it.

- Relax. Relax your shoulders.

- [man] Good.

[Kriss] Remember how much

you've wanted this, hmm?

Breathe a little, Deusa.

[man] Nice.

- Trust that cleavage. It looks gorgeous.

- It's not too much?

No, no, no, it's absolutely perfect.

Every woman will want that dress.

[man] Breathe.

Breathe. Keep the energy up.

- Uh

- Come here. Give us a minute.

I'm not sure what else to try.

You have any ideas?

Just tell me what you want, guys.

We want you to embody

the character of a goddess,

'cause that was the role

we picked for you.

- "The role"?

- [Kriss] Mmm-hmm.

But I am who I am.

[Kriss] Mmm-hmm.

And we want to keep you just as you are,

but with a little more strength.

Sexier, hmm?

Julia, this one.

Okay, so let's have you try on

something very basic, very simple.

Maybe that will make you

feel a little more comfortable, yeah?

[Deusa] Thank you.

TADEU

Gorgeous, you look like a star, a goddess!

[intriguing music playing]

I think this is the perfect look for me.

Can we try again?

Uh, yeah? Of course.

- Well, come on, start sh**ting. Go.

- Here we go.

- There it is.

- [Kriss] There we go.

Yeah.

- One, two, three, turn!

- [man] Yes!

[Kriss] That's it! Nice, Deusa!

[camera clicking]

- [Kriss] Got it!

- And not too much Photoshop.

- I want it to look natural.

- You got it.

- You're bluffing! You don't have it!

- Play it, come on! Keep playing!

- Ah! Ha-ha!

- [Tadeu] Yo, guys.

We've got six singers

signed up to audition so far.

- [Patrício] Isn't that not enough?

- [Valdo] Man, no way this is gonna work.

We got a gig in two days.

You should let them know.

You booked a gig and didn't

tell them that Deusa had left the band?

I didn't want to tell them our problem

until we'd come up with a solution.

[Nelton] What if they

don't like the new singer?

- [Tadeu] That's a risk we have to take.

- [Valdo] Oh, man.

Deusa leaving really

screwed us over, you know?

- What's up? Hey, guys!

- [Valdo] Hey.

I'm sorry to have interrupted.

Well, that was real friendly.

You see that?

When no one says anything,

it makes things really awkward.

Way too awkward for me.

So I'm gonna hit the town.

Who knows? Maybe I'll get lucky.

- Bye, cutie!

- [Patrício grunts]

[Valdo] Night, as*h*le!

Your brother wastes no time, man.

Half brother.

And I have nothing to do with it.

[phone chimes]

Is it Sônia again?

[phone chiming]

You're not gonna respond to her?

Nelton, text messages aren't

like credit card bills, they can wait.

I'm gonna use the bathroom

while there's not a line.

[in Portuguese] Wow, wow

This way you're gonna k*ll me

Oh, if I catch you

Oh, oh, my God, If I catch you

- [Tadeu in English] Hey, come on.

- No, I think the guys are right.

- I wrecked the band.

- No. No, you didn't.

Everyone's just tense, that's all.

We're auditioning lead singers tomorrow.

What?

We have some girls coming in to try out.

You're looking for my replacement already?

You left.

[Deusa scoffs]

Yeah, Tadeu, but

what if things

don't work out for me there?

What?

[scoffs]

Deusa, we can't wait around

for your career to take off

before we get to start ours.

No, of course not.

That's not what I meant.

I think I'm just jealous.

Of me or the band?

[gentle music playing]

[Deusa laughs softly]

[Deusa groans]

[Tadeu] Hey. Let's go downstairs.

I'll make the two of us some dinner.

That rice with pequi

you always like sound good?

- Can't, but I wish I could.

- [chuckles] Are you on a diet now?

No, it's not really a diet,

it's more like nutritional reprogramming.

- You're serious?

- Yeah.

The nutritionist gave me a huge list,

but at least I don't have to go buy it,

an assistant will take care of all that.

Wow, so now you've got people

to do your shopping for you.

- And expensive clothes, huh?

- Uh-huh.

I've also gotta go to bed early,

because tomorrow

tomorrow

- I'm gonna be recording my first song!

- You are?

- I am!

- An original?

- Yes, an original.

- Where is it? I wanna hear it.

[Deusa laughing]

Oh, I don't know. I don't know yet.

But it's mine.

[Rafael] Yeah, so I was

trying to give it, like, a younger vibe,

but if you don't like it, I've got

another one with the same bass line.

- They could just replace it.

- No, that's not it, Rafa.

- [Rafael] I suppose we could try

- Come on, focus with me here.

It's got to be something provocative,

you know?

Something hotter, and more

- Something

- More sexy, you know?

So, like more of a Latin sound?

- Yeah, more of a beat to it.

- Yeah. Right, right.

- Something more

- Yeah, more, uh

[both] Uh

[both] Deusa!

[laughing] Yeah. I think

a Latin vibe will work well for her.

You're a genius.

Send it to me when you're done, okay?

Right. Oh, and Ana Lígia as well?

- [Cesár] No.

- No?

- No. Send it to me, I'll show it to her.

- Don't send it to sure.

[sighs]

CUCKOLD'S BAR

- [man 1] Hey, how are you guys doin'?

- [man 2] Pretty good!

- [man 1] After you.

- [man 2] All right.

We really gotta stop

meeting like this, you know?

[sighs] Oh, no, not you again.

Look, dude, I am not in the mood.

All right?

I got important things I'm doing here.

More important than your violin?

You left that note?

I told you I knew you.

Where is it, then?

How about we start with, "Thank you."

"What's your name?

Would you like a drink?"

I told you, I'm not in the mood.

And, anyway, you're not really my type.

I see. "Your type." All right.

Hey, wait! Where are you going?

[Cesár] Look at this!

You don't even wait for me for drinks now?

Here.

There are three songs on there. Pick one.

- That's what you wanted, right?

- I told you what I want.

Ana Lígia, splitting up is a bad idea.

You'd really give up all of this?

Just throw it all away?

- I'm not giving up anything, César.

- Hmm?

I get half of everything I built.

[expectant guitar music playing]

Including the pool.

[Cesár] Oh, yeah?

What are you doing, César?

Why settle for half

when you could have all of me?

- César

- Ana Lígia, what is it?

Are you saying you don't want it?

- Hmm?

- I want space in the company.

- [Cesár] You're already a partner.

- [Ana laughs]

- Five percent?

- What?

I want an equal share.

Of the profits and the decisions.

I can't believe we're talking about a

divorce like it's a business negotiation.

What about love? Huh?

Our feelings for each other?

Well, you said it yourself!

"Only a fool would trade

success for a stupid love story."

Ah!

I moved your things to the guest room.

I thought it would be better that way.

Ana Lígia, will you

get me a towel at least?

- Please?

- Good night!

I'm cold! Ana Lígia!

- [mutters]

- [soft music playing]

[Eva] Mmm!

I don't know what they put in this sauce,

but it's good.

- It's so good!

- [laughs] I told you you'd like it.

So this was your plan?

To trap me into a date?

- So this is a date we're on?

- Just until you give me back what's mine.

Then, boy, you won't believe

how fast I'm gonna ditch you.

Hang on.

Yo, Wilson.

- Thanks.

- You gave my violin to the hamburger guy?

- He's not a "hamburger guy," he's Wilson.

- He sells hamburgers, Valdo!

I trust Wilson. He's more trustworthy

than that place at the bus station.

"More trustworthy"?

Some friggin' guy with a lunch truck?

Yeah, he's a straight-up guy.

- I trust Wilson.

- You're crazy.

You planned this whole thing, didn't you?

You're a psychopath, you know that?

Eh, I'd say it was

a pretty successful strategy.

[chuckling]

How about putting on

a little concert for me?

I want to hear you play.

- Uh, here? Right now?

- Yeah.

[sighs] Well, I don't think

the music I make is really your type.

Yeah? Think so?

[playing beautiful melody]

[beat-boxing to tune]

[in Portuguese] Feels like a movie

Or a show, everything's flowing

She's so beautiful, bro

And she plays the violin

Fate has spoken and

You're messing with me

I belong to the world

Getting involved is risky

But it catches up with you

There's no way around it

I'm a Rio de Janeiro native

And I've fallen for you

Mix my samba

With your classic flavor

Don't get me started

With the "only-for-love" talk

Show me that smile

I know that you like it

I am Valdo

The man of your dreams

- [both laughing]

- [crowd clapping]

[Valdo in English] Thank you,

thank you, thank you.

Thank you very much.

I told you it would work.

[Eva] Well

with Bach, pretty much anything works.

I meant us.

[Eva] Oh.

You play really well.

You surprised me, you did.

[both chuckle]

I've always loved music,

but my dad really hates new stuff.

[Valdo] Mmm.

He's been good

about letting me take lessons,

but it had to be piano,

cello, violin

You learned all those?

Mmm-hmm.

You're a one-woman orchestra.

And you?

Ah, tambourines, bass, triangle

couple of matchboxes.

My dad played pagode and samba,

some forró as well.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

His playing always

used to hold us together.

But then he started

getting booked for more shows,

so he was always off playing a gig,

or out on the road.

And he didn't always come home right away.

My mom found out that those gigs

had a name, and a house, and another son.

[gasps]

You get it.

And you two never spoke again?

Nah. My mom kicked him out of the house.

But then when I was, like, 15 or 16,

I had my rebellious phase,

so my mom sent me to live with him.

But this other family

was different from my family.

Different routines, different everything.

I realized my dad

wasn't my dad anymore, you know?

Any time I picked up something

and started to play,

his wife went completely bananas.

I'm not kidding,

she would get really mad at me.

Not my brother or my father, 'cause, well

- 'Cause music's in the blood, right?

- Yeah.

My mom was a singer.

But not now?

I never knew her.

But I try picturing her

when I'm singing sometimes.

So you're a singer, too?

Only when I'm alone.

- Come on, don't make me sing for you.

- [laughs] Don't worry.

Have you ever thought

of performing with a band?

- What?

- Yeah, we're auditioning.

- Mmm-mmm. No.

- You never

The whole band thing is not for me.

It's just not my thing.

- But I may know just the right person.

- Who?

[knock on door]

[doorbell rings]

Well, that was even

quicker than I thought.

Can I maybe stay one more night?

Or two? Or three at the most?

Get in.

I thought you were leaving.

I haven't given up on this town yet,

or on you.

Oh!

What?

- [laughs]

- Well, well.

The magic violin, it really exists.

[Eva] Mmm-hmm.

Your lucky day, huh?

Our lucky day.

- I met a guy

- Jesus.

- It's 6:00 in the morning.

- No, wait, listen.

Remember that night at the Cuckold's,

we heard that band we liked a lot?

- They were really good, remember?

- Mmm-hmm.

Well, they're having auditions

this morning, and I mentioned you.

You'd be great.

It's so you, Roberta. It's so you.

[upbeat music playing]

[stiffly] Um, well, the first time

I met Daniel, I was I was 16 years old.

And

it had been my dream

[on speaker] to meet him.

So when I finally did,

I told him how I'd always

wanted to be a singer.

So we talked, and talked, and

And he even said that

someday if I kept at it, I might

even open for him.

Okay.

You're kidding, right?

That was a mess.

Absolutely the worst. Just look at her.

She's stiff, phony,

I don't believe a word she's saying!

Yeah, well, she may be a goddess,

but she's not an actress!

Thanks, Edgar, I can see that.

[sighs] Okay, we'll do a teaser.

We'll start with just images of Deusa.

Very sexy, very mysterious,

with her not saying a word.

Then a banner pops up and it says simply

"Coming."

And right below it, something like

"The last wish of Daniel Soh."

And there we go, we have our teaser.

"Daniel's last wish"?

Doesn't that sound like

they had something going on?

What's wrong with that?

My God! You guys. Okay, fine.

"The last song of Daniel Soh." There.

Better! That's better! Good.

So all I need now

is the song she's gonna sing.

[Kriss] César?

- [sing-song] César.

- What is it, Kriss?

[sighs] Come on, César.

Where is Ana Lígia, huh?

I want you to find her, that songwriter,

the one Daniel

The last thing we need is a song

from a songwriter no one's heard of.

Will you just forget about that?

Everyone's working their asses off

seeing to it that Deusa's debut

in one week is a big success.

That's what you should be thinking about.

- [Cesár sighs]

- Focus.

Look, Rafa should have

some other songs ready.

If he does, put Deusa in the studio

and record the first one.

[scoffs] Even if the first one

has absolutely nothing to do with Daniel.

Then record the second one, Kriss.

It's not that complicated!

Just record the song, okay?

Get the studio ready.

Consider it done. Deep breath.

[in Portuguese] Oh, unfaithful

I want to see you living in a motel

I'm evicting you from my heart

Face the consequences of your betrayal

Oh, unfaithful

Now

No, guys, stop! Stop!

[in English] You, hot stuff, when you come

in late like that, you slow me down.

Okay? And, Goober

I forget your name,

so I'll just call you Goober, okay?

Uh, you're early. That's not cool, okay?

And, uh, look, honey, on that chorus,

you've really gotta punch the beat.

[vocalizing]

Don't go all limp! Keep it firm, okay?

And, Tadeu, right?

Tadeu, the two of us, man,

I thought we sounded really good together.

Super tight. Oh

Hey, let's do a selfie, shall we?

Yeah, I'll do it from down here,

and you guys stand behind me.

Get together on the stage.

Here we go!

She's not bad.

- She's a pain in the a*s, man.

- Okay, don't move

- She's got plenty of attitude.

- No way, man. She's bad news.

- [camera clicks]

- [woman] I'm gonna hashtag it.

- "Only Love," right?

- [Valdo] No, no, no.

- Why is this a problem? "Only For Love."

- "Only For Love."

Well, same thing, really.

What's the difference? Come on.

Actually, there's a big difference.

- All right?

- Yeah, sure.

Suellen, right?

- Yeah, with two L's. "Suellen."

- Right, uh, Suellen

- That was great. We'll call you.

- Yeah. Yeah, it was.

No, wait, we're not done yet.

- That was just sort of an appetizer.

- No. No, I think we're done.

Now, wait a second, guys.

We sound really good together

[Valdo] Yeah, we'll let you know.

- Look, I'm willing to rehearse

- Suelle, yeah?

With an N, "Suellen."

We've got a line of people waiting,

so that's enough for right now.

A line? Where? I don't see anyone.

Oh, f*cking hell.

[knock on door]

The violin! Wow! So?

- I told you I had money.

- You're crazy.

- Crazy and loaded. Just the way I like

- Ah!

First, there's something

we're going to have to renegotiate.

Of course! What is it?

"Luan Santana," "Solange Almeida,"

"Maiara & Maraísa,"

"Zé Neto & Cristiano." Nice!

I know, why don't we just try

resurrecting Elvis while we're at it?

If you can get one of those people

to record my song,

all this is yours.

And you have to play it

every day on your show.

There. That's a deposit.

[sorrowful music playing]

[in Portuguese]

This is not a competition

I don't want to provoke you

I found out a year ago

And I came here to tell you

Today the farce

[in English] Sônia,

what are you doing here?

You won't even respond to my texts.

That's like denying a drink of water

to someone who's dying of thirst.

And don't try and tell me

you didn't read them,

because I saw the little blue checkmarks!

That is so incredibly disrespectful.

[in Portuguese] I just got rid of

[in English] Are you serious?

You're really talking to me about respect?

Seriously?

Patrício, just forget about it, will you?

I don't know even know him.

It meant nothing.

So you're telling me you went to bed

with a complete stranger,

a stranger you allowed into our bathroom,

a stranger you let use my shampoo?

And is that why

it's been running out so quickly?

It was a moment of weakness. I was lonely.

You spend more time at the ranch

than you do with me. I'm alone so much.

Look, I know this doesn't excuse anything,

but there were no feelings

between me and him.

And, anyway, he's married

- Aw, come on! Just stop!

- [music stops suddenly]

I don't wanna hear any more, Sônia!

Just stop, okay?

- What the

- [Sônia laughs nervously] Excuse me.

What's wrong? I came here to audition.

You got a problem with that?

Oh, no, no, no.

- [Sônia] You wanna accompany me?

- Yup. Sure.

[band members clearing throats]

[in Portuguese] I know there's

Still a piece of me in there

A great love doesn't end like that

Like smoke in the wind

It's not a momentary thing

A fleeting anger

A fad that comes and goes

Like a game

Love leaves marks

That you cannot erase

I know I was wrong

I'm here to ask for forgiveness

Out of my mind

My heart in my hand

A burning desire

I don't know the time

Or what to do

I can't find a single word to say

Oh, if I were you, my love

I would come back to me again

You can be sure of one thing, love

The door will always be open, love

My eyes will be dancing, love

When you come back

You can be sure of one thing, love

The door will always be open, love

My eyes will be dancing, love

When you come back

[Deusa] So don't call me

Don't ask me to come back

Leave my

I choose me, I

[Rafael in English]

Deusa, everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah, fine.

It's just reaching that high part.

That note's really up there.

I'm having trouble hitting it, that's all.

[Rafael] Well,

we're recording in segments.

So if you make a mistake,

we just do that part over.

So whenever you're ready,

let's try it again.

I'm ready.

Okay, we're rolling.

[in Portuguese]

I deleted your contact from my

[stammers in English] I messed that up.

[Rafael laughs] It's all right,

let's just try it again.

- [Deusa] Sorry.

- It's fine. Here we go.

[in Portuguese]

It's been long since I've felt your

[in English] Wait,

is there something wrong there?

- You're a little behind the beat, yeah.

- [Deusa] Ah.

[in Portuguese]

I'll keep going the wrong way

My heart is my GPS

Is that it? Is it good?

[Rafael laughing in English]

We can do it again.

- [Deusa] Let's do it from the bridge.

- Okay, good. Good idea.

Yeah.

[Rafael] I can give you

a signal if you need one.

- No, I think some water.

- [Rafael] Sure, absolutely.

Go right ahead.

And we're rolling.

[in Portuguese] I've deleted

Your contact from my phone

I'm leaving on my own

Don't come after me

If you want me to be yours

I choose me

Come on!

[upbeat music playing]

[in English] Rock and Roll!

[upbeat music continues]

[in Portuguese] It's been a long time

Since I felt your warm embrace

Now I want to be my own woman

I'm tired of promises

Today, I choose me

I have my entire life ahead of me

Without you, I know things will be

Very different

I'm not yours anymore

Today I choose me

Hey!

So don't call me

Don't ask me to come back

Let my life begin

I choose me

I choose me

I choose me

I'll keep going the wrong way

My heart is my GPS

I choose me

I choose me

I choose me

Me!

I choose me

Let my life begin

Don't ask me to come back

I choose me

I choose me

I choose me

I choose me

Let my life begin

Don't ask me to come back

I choose me

I choose me

I choose me

[in English] That's it.

- [Tadeu] Thank you.

- Thanks.

- [Tadeu] That was great. Thanks.

- [Valdo] Good job.

- [Rafael] Whoo-hoo!

- Yeah? That worked?

- [Rafael] Yeah, totally! You crushed it!

- Oh! Phew!

Should we go ahead and mix it now?

[Cesár] No, I want to record

the others as well,

so we have more options to choose from.

- Like, now, today?

- [Cesár] Yes, now, today.

- I know what I'm doing, Deusa.

- Go ahead and take a breather.

- [Cesár] What is it?

- She's totally exhausted.

She's been recording since this morning.

She hasn't got any more in her.

We're gonna call it a day.

Good work today.

Be back here tomorrow at 7:00, okay?

Meanwhile, go over the new material

and get some rest.

[sighs] I f*cking wish Ana Lígia was here.

There, I said it.

- Hi, hi, hi!

- [chuckles] Hey.

- [Eva] How's it going?

- Someone went shopping.

Well, gotta look good for

my important meetings, you know?

What do you think?

- Like it?

- Huh. It's pretty.

And I got a book for you,

and a bottle of wine.

[Roberta chuckles]

Thank you.

TO ROBERTA, MY WIFEY. I LOVE YOU!

LOVE, EVA.

So, how was the audition?

I wanna hear all about it.

I didn't go.

You didn't go?

[Tadeu] Well, that was a day.

- [Nelton] I liked Sônia.

- [Valdo] Yeah.

- She actually was the best of 'em.

- [Patrício] Ah-ah-ah! Forget it, guys!

I'm serious, guys, if Sônia comes in,

I go out. You watch.

What? You'd rather

have Sônia in the band than me?

- [Tadeu] Of course not, you idiot.

- [Nelton] She is good, though.

- Why don't we let Luana in?

- Shut up, Patrício.

[Patrício] Then no Sônia either.

We could go with the other one,

the crazy one, Suellen.

Wait, Suellen? Hell, no!

You know what, guys?

We have to decide. We got a gig tomorrow.

Yeah, guys, you have to decide, because

I'm opening the bar in ten minutes.

Here, help me.

[Roberta] Hi! Sorry, is it too late?

I wasn't sure if I'd be able to make it.

Guys, she's never been in a band,

but I swear she's just what you need.

No, there's no time to set it up again.

I've gotta open back up in ten minutes.

This is a bar, not a charity I'm running.

You don't have to set up anything.

I'll improvise.

All right?

Can I?

- [Gorete] Okay.

- Sweet!

Thank you.

[playing soft melody]

[whispers] Yeah!

[in Portuguese] How long does it take

For the heart to know

That the synonym for love

Is suffering?

Among the love petals

There may be thorns

It's like having women and admirers

And being lonely

In the loneliness of your home

You'll rest

The meaning of life you'll find

Can't anyone say where happiness lies?

Love is made of passions

And when it loses reason

It doesn't know who will be hurt

If you love

You never fear telling your secrets

The synonym for love

Is to love

I know that when the moon kisses

- When the moon kisses your body

- [band members clamoring indistinctly]

Your body

[band members chatting and laughing]

[Nelton in English] I'm never gonna

forget about the one in the hat.

[Patrício] Right?

[Valdo] But that screamer?

She was too much, man!

Like, she was on drugs or something.

That chick was crazy!

- I borrowed your guitar for a minute, I

- [Tadeu] No, it's cool. It's fine.

We're getting used to you

doing things without telling anybody.

- Hey, dude

- Hey, I'm just saying.

- [Tadeu] Just cut it out.

- I'm just saying, bro.

Despite what you may think,

this hasn't been exactly easy for me.

I know it's too late to say I'm sorry.

But sometimes

I don't

I don't really know

if I even did the right thing.

f*ck!

[Tadeu] Is this your song?

Yeah.

I spent the whole day

recording a different song, but César

He changed things and now

I have to learn this one by tomorrow.

We'll give you a hand.

- No, it's okay.

- We're gonna help you.

- Come on.

- [Patrício] Yeah, come on.

No, you guys should rest. Patrício,

you've got a long drive tomorrow.

- [Tadeu] We're doing this.

- [Patrício] Come on, Deusa.

Here, come to the piano.

Okay, then, let's make some music.

[playing soft melody]

- Get it?

- Mmm-hmm.

[Deusa humming along and snapping]

[playing upbeat music]

[in Portuguese] I know that

When the moon kisses my body

It drives you insane

I say that I'm leaving

And you go mad

You want more

Life is too short to be worried

And wonder how long we'll be together

Seize it, kiss me slowly

I'm not in a hurry for tomorrow

Love, I'm leaving now

It wasn't forever

But that's what I can give you now

Yeah

Don't be mad at me

I wasn't born to be

Exclusive

If the world offers

I'm always open to accept

Don't try and trap me

I wasn't born to be

Exclusive

You tried to tame my heart

But ended up

With your face on the floor

I always have another option

I wasn't born to be

Exclusive

[upbeat music continues]

MARCOLO MUSIC LAUNCHES

DEUSA "EXCLUSIVE"

[music fading]

[in English] Okay, Ana, you win.

[sighs] You're giving up that easily?

Marcolo's up to its neck in debt.

We invested so much in Daniel,

we're going under now that he's dead.

Deusa's our one chance

of getting back on top,

but you're gonna sabotage the whole thing

with this petty, little argument.

You should support me on this.

Oh, so I'm to blame?

You've always handled the money.

Insurance?

It covers the concerts, that's all.

Damn it! It was

It was such a sure thing.

The tour was set and ready to go.

[sighs]

The whole deposit's gone.

- [sighs]

- I spent it.

I screwed up.

I know it. I got way out ahead of myself.

But I never thought you wouldn't be

by my side at a time like this.

A divorce could take years.

And at the end of it, there will be

nothing left for either of us.

Think about it.

If you won't fight for our marriage,

fight for our company, then.

[Roberta] Don't forget

to water the plants, okay?

And the trash has to

go out on Wednesdays, Fridays

[Eva] Fridays and Sundays.

You told me. Relax.

I'll take care of it.

Here you go. To help with the rent.

And don't worry about groceries,

I'll be okay.

- You promise to text me every day?

- And twice at night. Goodbye, wifey.

- Oh, that came for you.

- Oh! Huh.

Bye.

[gentle music playing]

I'M SENDING YOU THE THINGS YOU ASKED FOR

AND SOME COOKIES. LOVE, TEREZA

[doorbell ringing]

Dad!
