Good Morning, Veronica (2020) s02e01 Episode Script

Winning and Losing

1
I am Verônica Torres.
I work with Chief Wilson Carvana.
[echoing] There is no Ideal Love.
- No!
- [gunshot]
She didn't have problems
with mental health. She was lied to.
[Verônica] And I know that, like her,
there are many women
without a voice out there.
Hopeless, and afraid
to come forward. Afraid to
I can't do it!
He makes me do
all those things to them!
My husband and I need a maid,
I've been told
this is the best place to find one.
What does he do to them?
[Janete] I only listen through the box.
[woman sobbing]
[Janete] Why do you hurt them, Cláudio?
- [woman screams]
- Box?
What the hell is going on
through your damn head?
It isn't in my head. I'm pregnant!
You'll never be a normal family with him.
What if he starts hurting you again
or hurts the child?
Have you thought about that?
- [Cláudio] Talk to me. Granny!
- [gasping, coughing]
Hey! Granny, talk to me!
[tense music playing]
[Janete screaming]
All because of you.
[groaning]
[Verônica] What kind of orphanage
turns kids into criminals?
My dad was investigating
so you put him down
and locked him in that nursing home
to rot like a vegetable.
[Verônica]
Brandão is one, and Anita as well.
Who are they?
Are they the mafia, corrupt cops,
a militia, could be anything.
The only thing I know
is you were almost dead.
- [gasps]
- [gunfire]
Cosmas and Damian?
[Carvana] Get real!
They know all about you,
your visit to the old orphanage!
There's a new one?
[Verônica] Sometimes, in order
to protect those important to us,
we have to make
difficult decisions.
[sobs]
[Anita] The bodies
of homicide clerk Verônica Torres
and Lieutenant-Colonel
Cláudio Antunes Brandão
were found burned in the bunker.
[Prata] What now, Janete?
Now I deal with this mafia
and get back to my family.

ORPHANAGE
OPERATION HEADS OR TAILS
[Anita] Yes. Three officers
were secretly working on the case.
KNEW EVERYTHING
The Deputy Chief Wilson Carvana
was found in the woods near the
[Dr. Carlos] Detective Anita Berlinger,
our new head of homicide
[Anita] Right now we believe it
to be the work of a serial killer

NEW ORPHANAGE
COLD CASES
ORPHANAGE - MISSING CHILD
A NETFLIX SERIES
[theme music playing]
BASED ON RAPHAEL MONTES
AND ILANA CASOY'S BOOK
His blood pressure is fine,
the fever broke
I'll ask the nurse to let me know
if anything changes.
Verô?
Verônica!
[scoffs]
Where's your head at, woman?
Cosmas and Damian.
- [Prata] Hmm.
- Lemme know what you think of this.
[Prata] They're splitting
the corruption profits.
Blackmail, bribes,
then the paid convictions
This guy here,
Pedro Rossi.
He's a prosecutor in bed with the mafia.
He worked the Crooked Cross massacre,
he was in Archives.
- You remember that one, don't you?
- Mmm.
You know who was
the leader of that massacre?
Hmm?
Cláudio Brandão.
You don't say.
Now look here.
It's the first time he shows up.
But I still don't have a name,
and I can't get
a photograph of his face I can use.
Verônica,
maybe you can just hand over
what you have to the police?
Wouldn't that be easier?
No way, Prata.
I still have to finish what Dad started.
This fucking mafia murdered my mom
and then did this to my dad.
They ruined my life
and destroyed my family.
They didn't destroy
all of your family, Verônica.
You still have Paulo and the kids.
It's getting harder and harder
to lie to them, you know?
Harder and harder.
Will I see you later?
[indistinct chatter]
[melancholy music playing]
[music continues]
You're the baddest, Mom, you know it.
[melancholy music playing]
[sighs]
[sniffles]
[echoing] Look in the mirror.
What do you see?
[Lila] Myself.
[Verônica] You know what I see?
My special little girl.
[music continues]
[inhales deeply]
Hmm?
[footsteps receding]
Do you want to come in?
[Lila] Mom?
Hi, sweetie! What'cha doin'?
- I thought it was Mom.
- Hey there.
Back early?
- Yeah.
- Dreams wake you up again?
- So this time it was a good dream?
- [laughs]
- I was dreaming of Mom.
- Hm.
[motor idles]
[music box playing gentle song]
[man singng] If this street was mine ♪
I would have it paved ♪
With shiny, shiny stones ♪
For my love to walk on ♪
On this street, there is a grove ♪
Called Loneliness ♪
In that grove lives an angel ♪
Who stole my heart ♪
Morning, my little one.
[laughs]
[spits water]
What's this? You're both so quiet.
We're trying to get ready, Matias.
- Come on, sweetie.
- Okay.
Put your chin up.
[sighs] You should give me that.
- Ângela, you still have to fix your hair.
- [Ângela] Okay.
Hey, Mom
Can I put on just a little?
That color doesn't suit you.
What about me? Does it suit me?
[sighs]
I'm trying to get
everything together myself
and you're acting like children.
- You're such a drama queen.
- [Gisele] I'm a drama queen and bossy?
[Gisele sighs]
Get dressed already, Matias!
You're the boss, my queen. You know that.
[kiss]
Your mother's right, little one.
You're so beautiful,
you don't even need lipstick.
[kisses]
Owner, license plate, tickets
Anything you can get me.
Be thorough.
And I gotta to find this biker.
- What case is this?
- A classified case, Nelson
Just do what I said. Stat.
[tense music playing]
[camera clicks]
- [pants]
- [camera clicks]
[panting]
[camera clicking]
[camera shutter clicking]
[panting]
[humming]
[Verônica] Antônia?
[stops humming]
Hello. My name is Janete.
Is this your son?
[gasps]
My Valdo was only 13
when he started getting in trouble
and police picked him up.
That's when the orphanage
Cosmas and Damian offered to take him.
[Antônia] Seemed like
a good idea at the time.
Thought maybe
he'd get the life that he needed.
But I got it wrong.
They wouldn't even
let him see me you know?
Eventually, they started saying that I
didn't have a son,
that I was crazy.
[voice breaking] They took my boy from me.
And you haven't heard from him since?
[chuckles] I did see him.
But he had already turned into a man, so
I tried to find him,
I tried.
[inhales]
[sniffles]
But when I found him,
he looked me in my eyes,
and said he didn't know me.
He called security
to escort me from the courtroom.
He is a prosecutor.
But you already knew that.
Antônia,
when the director of the orphanage died
and they shut the whole thing down,
there was a person
he answered to, wasn't there?
I just need their name.
Uh-uh. Look we
we really shouldn't
be talking about all this stuff and, um
I'm really sorry.
[Antônia sniffles]
[camera clicks]
Your path to success
was a little uncommon.
You came from a life of simplicity,
to everything now.
- How did your life get so perfect?
- [cell phone rings]
Hmm. I'm sorry,
I'm gonna have to take this.
- Of course, go ahead.
- I won't be long.
[Matias] Why are you calling me?
- Coffee?
- Thank you, Ms. Gisele. Yes.
- [Gisele] Can I pour you some?
- Please.
Apologies. Let me get rid of my glasses.
It'll look better for the photo.
To answer your question
I'm not going to pretend I don't
enjoy having a nice glass of wine,
sunbathing by the pool,
I mean, I have a comfortable life.
But really that's all secondary because
I know what it's like
to go hungry, to be homeless.
All of this passes.
"Can't take it with you."
Isn't that what they say? [laughs]
What makes my life perfect?
Being true to my soul
and the people who share it with me.
You're a really hard man
to define, Mr. Matias.
No, Matias. No "mister."
Do me a favor. Just Matias.
All right. [giggles]
So, how do you define yourself, Matias?
People are gonna try to
pigeon-hole us one way or another.
Are you Corinthians or Palmeiras?
Right-wing or left?
Catholic, Jewish or Spiritual?
So, what am I?
I'm a husband and a father.
A father that has much to be proud of.
And you, Ângela,
How would you define your dad?
You can answer, honey.
Ah. Um
Best father in the world.
She has to say that
when I'm sitting right next to her
or else she's grounded.
[laughing]
But he must have some kind of flaw.
Or doesn't he?
- Do you, Dad?
- Are we telling the truth?
Hm!
Well, then, that's all.
Much appreciated.
- Truly.
- Ah, it really was so much fun.
Thank you.
Um
I actually have
some kind of history with you.
[Matias] Oh, really?
You
You helped my mother, uh,
from when she was expecting me, so
- So, thank you.
- Oh, Lord
- Blessed be.
- Amen.
[chuckles]
Thank you.
[photographer] Okay, Matias
Oh, Ângela. Sit in between us.
[photographer]
Excellent, beautiful! Great.
Ângela, give us a smile, will you?
So easy!
[tense music playing]
Excuse me!
[car alarm chirps]
[tense music playing]
[panting]
[cell phone ringing]
UNKNOWN NUMBER
[cell phone ringing]
Hello.
[Verônica] Good morning, Rossi.
Or is it Valdo?
I know all about you.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Open the visor.
I wanna know who your boss is.
This doesn't prove anything.
Then maybe check inside the console.
Imagine how Malu
is gonna feel when she finds out
you're having an affair
with the intern, huh?
I've got everything. Photos, recordings
Ready to be emailed.
And now you have five seconds
to tell me who your boss is.
[tense music playing]
Five
four
three
- two
- [music builds]
Doúm.
Everyone calls him Doúm.
I wanna know who he is, Rossi.
His first name and last name. Right now.
- Doúm is the only name I know.
- This guy raised you.
You disowned your mother for him.
You became Pedro Rossi because of him.
- I'm sure you know more than that.
- [grunts]
Listen to me.
I am not afraid of you. Hear me?
'Cuz when these guys catch you,
you're gonna be so fucked!
First you, then your family,
then everyone you know.
You have 24 hours to give me what I want,
or it all goes to the press.
Hello?
Hello?
[Matias] So, there's this guy.
He comes up to me, so full of himself,
and he says, "Do you have
any idea who you're talking to?"
I keep my cool.
So I look him dead in the eye and I say,
"Hey, fella. He whose nose is in the air,
doesn't look at the ground."
And I pointed down.
Swear to God, he was standing in
the hugest pile of dog crap!
- Matias!
- [laughs] I'm sorry.
[Gisele] Is it hurting again, my dear?
[Matias] It will pass.
[gasps]
[Matias] I give you my word.
[cell phone vibrates]
HEY, GIRL! I CAN GET US
IN NIGHTBOX TOMORROW
[gentle music playing]
I DON'T THINK I CAN MAKE I
I'LL TRY
[phone chiming]
DUDE, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!
FIGURE IT OUT! ASK YOUR DAD
BUT DON'T TELL HIM
YOU'RE GOING WITH ME. LOL
[Anita] Well?
So I followed the bike trail.
Then I checked every camera I could find,
stores, buildings, traffic.
Even backtracked
- So'd you get an ID?
- Nothing yet.
Looks to be female,
but I'm gonna need to enhance this.
What building is this?
I just sent you the address.
[intriguing music playing]
[mouse clicking]
[keyboard clacking]
[suspenseful music playing]
[chuckles]
God!

[sirens wailing]
[officer] C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon!
Attention, all units, be on the lookout.
Apartment 52.
If the suspect resists, you may shoot.
[suspenseful music playing]
[music continues]
[officer] Go, go, go!
[sighs]
[alarm ringing]
- What the fuck? Stairs, stairs, stairs!
- [officer] Come on, come on.
[alarm ringing]
[clamoring]
[suspenseful music playing]
[indistinct yelling]
Stop! Do you live here?
Do you fucking live here? Go.
Go. Go. Go.
[people clamoring]
[alarm ringing]
[yelling]
[suspenseful music playing]
[officer] Extinguisher, Marco!
Extinguisher!
[Verônica grunts]
[emotional music playing]
[Verônica panting]
Trust me.

[radio beeping]
CHIEF OF POLICE ACCUSED OF MURDER
[Dr. Carlos] Júlio Torres?
[soft instrumental music playing]
[music continues]
[Nelson]
My uncle's factory used to be here.
Now I use it for secret projects.
2 BODIES
WHO DIED
I never gave up on you.
WHO DIED
[fridge door opens]
2 BODIES
[bottle cap popping]
Hey
Wanna tell me what happened?
Today, no.
Okay.
["Não Me Mande Flores"
by DeFalla playing]
You
["Não Me Mande Flores" continues]
I missed you, know that?
["Não Me Mande Flores" continues]
["Não Me Mande Flores" fades]
It's a little short.
There, that's better. Isn't it?
It's a special occasion, my love.
You looking to spar?
I learned a few moves from my uncle.
You're gonna end up spoiling me.
Okay then.
- Let me spoil you a little then.
- Mm.
[cell phone ringing]
[cell phone ringing]
PRATA
SÃO PAULO
Hey, Prata.
[Prata] No signs of assault, struggle,
no defense wounds
In summary,
nothing to contradict
the official story that's in the press,
death by drowning
ruled out as an accident.
[Veronica] Doúm.
Hmm?
Yeah.
That's the name they call their boss.
Doúm?
Cosmas, Damian, and Doúm?
The name of the orphanage
just happens to be
the same name as their boss?
Not any of this can be chance.
Three saints.
Cosmas and Damian are the twins.
Doúm is the third brother.
Rossi wouldn't give me
anything more than his alias,
but then again he said too much anyway.
[Prata] They shut him up.
Be careful, my friend.
They are getting closer to you.
I'm the one who's getting closer to him.
[tense music playing]
[panting]
You're so pretty, the two of you!
And young. I can't believe
you're mother and daughter.
Yeah, children grow up way too fast.
HI CAROL
I NEED TO FIGURE IT OU
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
- TALKING TO MY DAD
TALK TO YOUR DAD
ARE WE ON FOR TONIGHT?
[knocking on door]
Hello, my love.
How'd the dress fit? Okay?
It fit okay. But remember
you promised you'd talk to Mom
about the other one, the one I saw?
I promised, really?
When?
Hey. I know your mom can be difficult.
But she only wants what's best.
[Matias] Now stop your pouting
and get over here.
Give me a kiss.
Sit on my lap.
Was there anything else?
Yeah. Could we rehearse a little?
CORREIO DE SÃO PAULO
PROSECUTOR FOUND DEAD AT HOME
[sniffling]
[Anita] I'm so sorry
for your loss, Antônia.
I know a woman came to you
with questions about him.
That woman
murdered your son
Do you know her name?
[sniffling]
Janete.
[sobbing] Janete.
It was ten years ago I joined the police.
- Time flies, eh?
- Right.
I wanted so much to be like my dad.
You know, I never did
believe those accusations against him?
- Never.
- You hear of Operation Heads or Tails?
- They set him up.
- Yeah.
He had blind faith.
Well, I guess I did too.
I mean, my eyes weren't open
'till I met I met Janete. So, you know
I don't regret it,
but sometimes I catch my self thinking
if whenever this is over,
what's it all about?
If it's ever over.
Do we know that it will be?
We'll just have to see.
Am I going to even get my badge back?
Can I go back to a system
I no longer even believe in?
I don't know.
Where do I fit?
Right here.
["Tangerina"
by Tiago Lorc and Duda Beat playing]
I cannot believe you're actually here!
Any trouble getting in?
Well, you did say you're a VIP.
I'm the boss here, baby.
[Carol] You look really hot.
But there's just one little thing missing.
I made it for your birthday.
[Ângela] That's so sweet.
I'm never gonna take it off!
Two Chevettes.
Chevette?
Dude, you're turning 16
and you never had a Chevette?
Crazy!
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
Yay! Now I'm not going to
black out by myself Right?
Lot of cute people here tonight.
You gonna kiss anyone?
I I'm not even supposed to be here.
Wait. Girl, did you sneak out?
Serious?
- But I thought your dad was cool about it?
- Yes, but my mom is always on my case.
Dude, I basically thought you
were the happiest girl
in the whole wide world, you know?
Well, I am.
["Tangerina" continues]
[dancers cheering]
Cute guy staring right at you.
Carol, I've never been kissed.
Girl, you being serious?
Hey, hey.
Calm down. It's all right.

It was Prata, I bet.
But I want names. Now.

[Veronica] I did it myself.
Aw. Don't lie, Verônica
Know how many people
are dead because of you?
Go on, just say it.
Prata we know about and then who else?
That guy, Nelson?
Or did you let
your husband in on your secret?
Hmm? No.
Your husband doesn't know anything.
You wouldn't put
the burden of this information
on your husband and children, would you?
- Just shoot already!
- Relax.
We're all alone in this place.
No one knows we're here.
How's this for an offer?
I'm gonna keep my mouth shut
and give you a week okay to disappear.
But first I need names. C'mon!
You better start
giving up names right now!

This is your last chance.
[tense music playing]
Come on!

[howls in rage]
You asshole!
