A NETFLIX SERIES
[dishes and cups rattling]
- Mr. Charles, your coffee. - Ah, thank you.
I got to see this, Charles.
Oh, guys, jeez!
What a mess.
Just by looking at the state of the document,
Jorginho wasn't happy with it.
Not at all. This is why she kept the pregnancy so under wraps.
- She's scared of Jorginho. - [laughs]
But wasn't it good news for her?
Why? You think...?
Come on, really, Charles? You don't think every person in this house
is a potential cold-blooded murderer out for blood and money, do you?
I do.
Or she was keeping it a secret so she wouldn't seem suspicious.
Makes total sense, right?
[chuckles] A lot of things make total sense.
Also, I'll point out that everybody had beef with my father.
But only one made it happen.
- I want a picture of it. - All right, sure.
But keep it a secret from everyone.
It might be important in the trial.
Don't tell Mom, or Grandma, or anybody.
[ominous music]
Hey, where's my burger?
- There's one in there for you. - It's delicious.
Yeah, the bacon with those...
This crepe with ham, tomato, mozzarella, some oregano.
My God, it's so damn good. Really good.
Well, mine...
This crepe is like a dessert crepe.
Nutella, Nido, and Ovaltine.
Ma, you got to watch your sugar intake.
You got a crepe that might have been made by that Willy Wonka himself.
- My God, Darlison, look at her. - Bete, you listen.
When I order food, whatever kind of food,
I make sure that food is really something... something special.
Honestly.
[Xandra] Hey, everyone.
- You seen my oils? - Mm-mm.
I've been frantically trying to find them.
Wow, so much food. I am really hungry for something.
Oh, grab a plate. There's plenty of food.
Yeah, but is there food for, you know, vegans?
Like, with no fat, or gluten, or lactose?
You basically take all the fun parts away from food, Xandra.
You know what? It might be better to wait for a bit.
I'll do yoga, then I can feed my body and my whole spirit.
Hey, hey! I'm gonna work out in a minute. Anyone wanna join me?
[clears throat]
- Huh? What'd you say? - [Áquila] Oh, Ma.
Come with me and burn off that crepe that looks like a deal with the devil.
What are you eating? Have you lost your mind, Mother?
You know what? I could work out with you.
But don't want to.
Hey, sis, come on!
Let's at least do some warm-ups and get that blood flowing a little.
This crepe that I ate here is basically kind of a replacement for working out,
- because all of it is real good for you. - Whoa, hold on.
You realize you put ham and cheese and tomato and oregano and whatever else,
yet the tomato and oregano are the only good ingredients.
Okay, do whatever you want. I'll work out by myself.
Whatever, make Yara go with you. Take Yara.
The girl spends all day checking her cell phone.
It's like she's a robot or something. Go with your uncle.
No, Ma, I don't want to.
- Huh? - Huh?
[high-pitched grunts]
Gotcha!
Are you reading some pregnancy stuff?
- Quit looking at stuff on my phone. - I'm not.
What's going on?
Oh my God, are you preggers or what?
No way. That's just crazy. I am not.
Oh, babe, you sure? You know...
someone is pregnant, I think.
Hmm.
My, my. Oh.
Who could it be, then?
You make it real freaking hard to defend you, Áquila.
You're a freaking gossiper, man. Mind your business.
Hmm.
You're right. I will.
You've changed me.
I'll just stop talking altogether. I mean, why gossip anyways?
It goes against the foundation of our complicated society,
- which means we don't... - What?
...spread info, promote interaction,
or just to even entertain people with stories of truth.
You're right, my friend. It's gossip. That's the evil of life.
Mm-hmm.
Right?
[Bete] Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!
Áquila, there's a pregnant woman in the house!
My God, I know it just must be Yara!
My God, Lord in heaven, sweet Jesus, what to do?
What am I supposed to do?
[Áquila] Mm-mm. I asked her to her face, but she wouldn't say a word to me.
[chuckling] What's going on?
- Such a gossip! - There's a pregnant woman in the house.
- Who? - I won't say. Well, I don't really know.
Ah, Áquila, can't keep a secret to save your life.
Spreading rumors no matter how wild.
Come on, you know who's pregnant? Spill it, dude.
I don't know just yet,
but figuring this stuff out is where I excel.
So just wait and see, dear brother.
Ha. Very nervous. I wonder why.
- I need to ask you something. - [gasps]
I thought you forgot I existed.
Whatever, Patrícia. How come you didn't have lunch with us?
- Huh? You all right? - That was just a bunch of junk food.
That type of food makes me sick thinking about it.
You feel sick?
What? What is happening, hmm?
When did you become so concerned about my diet?
Maurício is coming.
You'd better leave, since you're so worried about this.
- You're so hot. You are. Smell so good. - Oh, babe.
- He's behind me now? - He's pretty close behind you.
- Give me a quick kiss. - You'd better leave.
- I'll wait for you. - Bye.
- Hey, man, how are you? - What's up, dude?
Patrícia, this pregnancy's wild, isn't it?
- What'd you say? - You know someone's pregnant.
Oh my God.
That's why Darlison was acting weird. So sweet.
What was he saying?
Oh, Patrícia, my God, are you pregnant right now?
- Is that what's happening? - I wish I was, hey, Maurício?
You know why? Because if I'm having Jorginho's, child,
you'd know I'd really be set.
Did he knock up someone else?
I hope not, you know?
[sighs] We'd lose our inheritance. Every bit of it.
We have to find out who the father is.
Hmm.
- I'm stuffed. - Oh my God, seriously?
Ooh! Huh?
- I didn't know someone bought food. - What?
What's wrong, girl? Your food's in there.
But is it a burger with lettuce?
Dang, you're picky, you know? Just eat it.
Oh, but wait.
Are you the one who's expecting a baby?
Because if you are, then I wouldn't recommend it.
What are you saying? Expecting? No, that's crazy.
Well, kiddo, everyone knows there's someone pregnant in this house right now.
It's a whole thing.
Oh yeah?
And...
- nobody knows who? - [phone rings]
Look, I mean, sweetie, I'm not sure who it is, so I won't...
But the way gossip spreads so fast in this house,
we'll find out soon enough.
Here comes the detective.
We'd better hide the dishes, crystal, everything that's fragile in here.
[all chuckle]
- I'll see you later. - [Zanina] Okay, sweetie.
Oh, look, the fool returns.
[laughs]

- Hey, Thyellen! Watch out! - Move this out of the fucking room!
- Watch your words. - Bro, what happened to the test?
As always, I worked hard, I did my best,
but my performance wasn't appreciated because the director's boyfriend got it.
I'm not talking about the soap opera audition you fucking failed to get.
I mean the other test.
Oh, the other test?
[laughs nervously]
So...
THE NIGHT OF THE CRIME
What up, Jorginho?
[grunts]
[laughs] Great Jorge, my man!
Jorge went to Cappadocia.
- What's up? Are you good, man? - What are you doing?
Just hanging out, thought we could have a little chat.
- What, couldn't wait for the whole group? - No.
It had to be now, bud.
What's this?
This here is proof that God does have a plan for all his children on Earth.
Thyellen really loves you.
And she's pregnant.
There's no way, Raul.
This is a private issue, obviously.
I drop this bomb in front of the group, it probably looks pretty bad for you.
[thunder rumbles]
[both laugh]
You've done well.
- Thank you. - I'll be a good father.
I'm gonna really be there.
I have no doubt about all that, bro-in-law!
Damn, this kid will be born with a silver spoon in their mouth!
Yes! Check this out, it's all gonna be ours now!
Whoo! All this will be...
- And I'm gonna pay too. - You'll pay? For real? Yes!
In fact, tell me your bank account number right now.
- You want my bank information? - Yeah!
That's so cool. My bank is Caixa, branch number 3594...
What...?
Hey, what are you doing? Are you crazy?
Listen, you son of a bitch.
You think it's the first time someone's pulled this crap?
You piece of shit.
- What do you mean, pull? - She's not pregnant. Impossible.
How do you know that?
[whimpers]
Listen...
I'm no fucking damn fool.
Look at what I have.
[thunder rumbles]
You were supposed to wait and show him the test results
after I had sex with him, Raul.
What? Oh, yeah.
No, it's just...
Relax, Thyellen. It's cool. It's all good.
- It's under control. - How is everything under control?
Everyone thinks a pregnant woman's in the house.
Well, there could be a pregnant woman in the house.
I mean, we don't know. There really could be somebody, right?
Also, he took the test from me and put the paper in the paper shredder.
It's no more. Gone. That's it.
Well, was it a "tiny pieces" shredder or was it strips?
Because it matters which.
Well, I don't fucking know. I don't know machines well.
I mean, how am I supposed to know they make these other ways to shred paper?
They do it in movies.
Taping all the pieces back together. God!
It's not my fault, then. I'm sorry.
If the machine makes strips, it isn't a shredder, it's a stripper.
It's just logic.
Oh Lord, oh Lord, I received your revelation.
Let it be known in my life I'm gonna tell them everything.
- I really have to. - Oh God, Thyellen, bad idea.
- No, I'm coming clean! - You can't come clean, Thyellen.
- I will come clean. - What are you gonna say?
- That we tried to pull some... - Keep your voice down!
What are we gonna say? We tried to pull a con on Jorginho
on the same day he was murdered?
- We're gonna go to prison! - I know.
But if the detective finds out about all this fucking shit,
you and I will be really fucked.
- [knock on door] - [Charles] Miss Thyellen?
[gasps]
- It's the detective! - [knocking continues]
[Charles] I need to talk to you. It's urgent.
Come on. Hey, get in the bathroom!
- [Charles] Miss Thyellen! - Stall him.
- Stall him how? - Use your talents.
- What does that mean? - [door closes]
Oh, I know!

- Hey, buddy. - Hey, what's up, man?
You finding out suspects? Putting work in?
Get down on what's really happening around here
so you can find the asshole who did this thing, or what?
- [both laugh] - Perfect.
So have you seen Thyellen, perhaps?
Yeah, man. I mean, I'm her brother, so, yeah.
Well, seen her recently.
Oh, right. Uh... well, um...
Oh, sure, yeah. One second.
But you shouldn't go in there, because her food is now on its way down.
Ah, dropping the deuce.
- Okay, I'll just come back later. - Much, much later.
All right, then.

All right, I've heard enough.
♪ Stink real bad, oh ♪
Thyellen.
See that? I was great. I really nailed it.
[giggles]
Bete.
I have to question you about a few more things right now.
Bad timing.
Well, time is unpredictable during an investigation, just like in life.
Oh, well, I have to postpone this for now. I have a workout I have to get to.
Ah, you're exercising. Well, I've never done much of that.
Oh, well, you should.
[chuckles]
Huh?
What?
So you want be healthier all of a sudden?
Trying to impress your man?
No way. Don't be silly.
That detective keeps asking me questions, so I'm hiding.
You keep telling yourself that if you want.
Say what, Áquila?
Gossiping is not enough, now you're making up stories too?
Exactly what I'm doing. "Áquilaflix."
Look, get Yara out here, because she's been wasting time
on that phone, being a lazy girl.
- She's becoming sedentary. - Oh, shush, shush, shush!
Don't mess with my grandkid, goddamn it.
If Yara's pregnant, you know what she needs right now?
To chill out! Because of Grandma's baby.
Are you my grandbaby? Who's my grandbaby? Hmm?
Hold these. And breathe.
And squat.
You're making this all up, Bete.
She spends too much time on her phone to have time to make a baby.
Listen, Áquila, you mind your own business and I'll mind Yara's.
Okay? You understand?
Now, did she say anything else to you at all about any of this,
- for God's sakes? - Nothing.
Nothing at all.
But it could be true that she's hiding something.
You have no idea who she's been hanging out with.
Who, Áquila? You think maybe she has a crush on one of the men?
- I'm not ready for this kind of shock! - No crush, Bete.
Look.
- This is important... - [Bete] Oh my God.
That girl thinks she's a real detective now.
[inaudible chatter]
[gasps]
- We'll talk later, okay? - Okay.
Keep your eyes open.
- Oh... - Just breathe.
[mellow, mystical music]
[wind chimes tinkling]
- Is this yoga? - [gasps]
- Holy cow, Zanina! - [laughs]
You stopped my heart almost just now. It's not yoga. It's meditation.
Oh, boy.
If only sitting around counted as exercise...
[laughs]
I would start it first thing in the morning during the news,
and just sit there working out all day for some big old results.
[Charles] Good morning, my dear Washington.
You don't want to do a little bit of yoga, just to see?
Should I?
Yeah, give it a shot.
Yeah?
Just breathe, lift your arms all the way up.
[Xandra inhales]
Palms touch above your head.
Hey, do you know anything about who could be pregnant?
[gasps]
[Xandra] Pregnant? What? Who's pregnant?
Well, I don't know. I was thinking it was you.
Oh, no, definitely not. Oh God.
- Like that? - Oh, Zanina, I'm so happy to see you
getting in some exercise, doing some yoga.
Don't lie. I know you just came over here to get some gossip from us.
Oh, come on, I'm not a fan of that stuff.
Although, while we're on the topic, who do you think is pregnant?
You know who it might be?
And you think I would come out with it, just like that?
We should make bets on it.
Okay, now, less gossip and more focus on the class.
You know what? I'm actually hoping that the mystery pregnant girl
turns out to be my granddaughter, Yara.
Because I think I could really be an awesome...
Ooh! Real fucking awesome great-granny.
Wow.
Well, it definitely wouldn't affect the inheritance.
[panting]
[inaudible]
[Washington] Oh, Mr. Charles, I'll come join you just in a moment.
[Charles] Very good. I'll be waiting.
Really? You think I'm pregnant, Darlison?
Without access to the inheritance?
You think I don't know how much a kid costs?
Do you know how much a good education costs?
And English classes, French classes, Spanish, Italian, sailing, fencing...
- Gotta win the lottery for all that. - That's right.
And I think you know what the lottery's name is.
- What, robbing a bank, or...? - No.
It's Jorginho's inheritance. We have to get our hands on a baby.
[gasps]
Jesus Christ Almighty!
Charles! Oh, I really need to talk to you.
Actually, I need your opinion on something.
Oh yeah?
- What's it about? - It's about motherhood.
You're spending a lot of time with my baby girl, Yara,
and you probably know teenagers will open up
to pretty much anybody but their mothers.
Yara is a wonderful young woman.
She reminds me of, well, you because she's so...
[moans]
You mean bossy?
No, not that. No.
Oh, Charles, there's something in her phone she's keeping from me.
Please, you got to help me out here.
Oh, but it's wrong to just go through someone's phone, you know?
There's private stuff in there.
But this would be our little secret.
Hmm?
I'm in.
But it's only because I would never, ever abandon
a desperate, poor mother in a time of need.
Bless you.
Raul...
- [gasps] - Fuck, Thyellen!
- Jesus, where were you, girl? - Just listen here.
I just found something out.
Patrícia and Darlison are fucking!
- Yeah. - Oh, thank the Lord above!
That's so much worse than our screw-up.
- We're saved! - What do you mean?
- Found the cleaning cloth. - That's for dishes.
- Let's use it on the floor. - How is it worse than how we screwed up?
Just think about this, right? What makes more gossip?
When poor people breed, or rich ones cheat.
No one saw it happen.
Raul, there was nobody else around.
We tell Áquila. He'll tell everybody else for sure.
It's a sin to spread the secrets of others.
- I'm trying not to sin. - He told everyone your secret.
But mine was a lie!
Oh my God, we really should have never started any of this lying,
because now we can't stop it.
I'm being so awful. Oh no.
Oh, help me, Lord! Oh, Lord, help me!
- Ha! - [gasps]
- We have finally found each other. - [laughs nervously]
[yawns]
Wow.
I really cannot believe how I'm still so sleepy.
Whoa. I'm so, so sleepy.
I think I'll go right upstairs and put myself right back in bed.
So sleepy.
That's very common during pregnancy.
But, still, I'm gonna ask you a few more basic questions.
You're carrying the child of Jorginho Peixoto?
Yeah.
And you hid this from the rest of us,
because perhaps you knew it would look incriminating.
No.
No, no.
You original plan was to murder Jorginho by exploding the storage shed.
What?
And when that plan didn't work out, you stabbed him, boom, in the man's back.
Explode? Stab? What is this? No.
Even after Jorginho doubted that he was, in fact, the father
of the very child that you are now carrying?
No, I was actually afraid because if I said something,
it would look like I was a gold digger.
Listen to me, Charles, right now.
This little life...
that I am carrying, I will raise.
And I will do this with or without any money.
[Charles] You remind me of my mother.
- [sighs] - She also raised me by herself.
My father was killed by a cannon.
Aw!
In the service?
He was a clown.
He worked in a circus.
The pay was really bad for the performers then,
so he got part-time work as a human cannonball.
My father sure pierced some roofs back then.
[chuckles]
[Charles sighs]
Uh, Charles...
Look...
So, um...
Thank you for opening up to me.
Let it all out, yeah?
Come on.
Um...
I want to go ahead and reveal that I'm pregnant.
- [sniffles] - I want to come clean with people here.
Especially since it's just far too difficult
to keep any secrets here.
Let's just take a look at Patrícia, for example.
Right? The thing with Patrícia?
Uh, what? Is Patrícia also pregnant, or what?
No, she's not, but the way things are going,
it shouldn't take very long.
I didn't know Patrícia was seeing anyone else besides Jorginho.
Oh, yeah.
So I heard that she's been fornicating with a someone who worked for Jorginho.
- Ah. - Mm-hmm.
- [loud crash] - [gasps]
[door slams]
Busted!
Who's busted?
You're sleeping with Patrícia, right?
- You scoundrel. - No.
Whoa. With Patrícia?
You obviously don't know my taste.
- Darlison! - Ah! Yeah!
I didn't think you'd get there. It's Darlison.
Yeah, but I did.
I get there every time.
I just like to sometimes be less rushed.
Yara!
- Can we talk over here for a minute? - What's this?
Your mother.
Your mother made a weird, rather personal request
that I try to find out some stuff about you by snooping on you.
But I won't, because you're smart and would snoop me back.
You'll find me out.
And, plus, we'll keep trust between us this way.
Oh, shit. But what did my mom want to find out?
Couldn't say. Something she thought she saw on your phone.
- I was researching pregnancy. - Uh, yeah.
Of course. They think I'm the pregnant woman now.
Relax, I can take it from here.
Yeah, okay. You know this means you've kept your word,
not telling anyone about what we're doing.
I've been given some news.
Thyellen just told me she's pregnant. She's having the kid.
- Is that true? - Uh-huh.
And she wants to inform everyone in the house.
And one more thing you were right about too.
What?
I cross-checked all the data we got from the gas sabotage
with forensics from the stabbing.
Left-handed killer for sure.
Ha!
Some praise, perhaps? Huh?
Well played.
And now on to my problems.
[intriguing music playing]
- Small, right? - Ah!
Washington!
[chuckling] Washington...
- Something I wanted to know. - Yes?
Where does Darlison stomp about at?
Where does...? Huh?
- [laughing] - Hey there, guys.
I've changed my mind. I'm gonna work out with you guys.
Lift some weights, you know?
- Jeez, Yara, give me those! - What?
Oh my God, give me those! Seriously!
Ma, you were telling me to start exercising.
- Yeah, but a proper pace for you, Yara. - Yeah?
And a proper pace? What's that, huh?
And does that involve stretching my mouth with craziness, like you two?
By the way, I am not the one who's pregnant, all right?
- That's a big no. - [sighs]
Boo, yeah, you guys think you're so smart.
You happy? Now you're going to point your radar towards someone else
in your search for your next victim.
[Bete] So, who's pregnant, then?
Well, I wasn't gonna say anything,
but, hey, I'm not one to keep people from the truth, right, Grandma?
[laughs]
And she was gonna tell you anyway.
- [Bete] Spit it then, Yara! - Okay, then. It's Thyellen, Ma.
- Which means I'm gonna have a brother. - What?
That pious little Jezebel.
I can't believe this. Oh, damn it.
Well, baby, you'd better believe it.
Jorginho got in there way ahead of you, huh?
He beat you. He did, huh?
Who says I was competing, Zanina?
It's just I'm worried about this...
worried about the inheritance getting smaller, that's what worries me.
Hmm.
[whispering] Just follow.
Shh. Come on.
[Patrícia giggling and moaning]
[yelps]
- [Raul] Come on, a toast! - [glasses clink]
- [all] Cheers! - To life, to love, and to good fortune!
I want to welcome you to the Oliveira family.
- Thanks, Miss Zanina. - It's good for Yara to have a brother.
Are you trying to tell us you didn't know?
Oh, uh, well...
Such a trickster. Of course he knew.
[Áquila giggles]
Even Thyellen didn't know about the test.
Hold on, Raul.
How did Thyellen not know about the test if she was the one who took it, hmm?
[laughs nervously]
Well, no, no, no. It's a joke. I mean, I didn't even know.
I had suspicions, but she knew, of course.
Here's Thyellen. Congratulations!
All right.
Congratulations!
Children are always a blessing in this world!
- [Áquila] Yes, they are. - What about the... what?
- Listen to her! - [all laugh]
Your baby.
Thyellen, they know about the baby.
But everyone also knows that now half of everything in the inheritance
belongs to Yara.
And to my wonderful, beautiful, sweet little nephew,
who'll be here soon to bring more peace and love
into this hateful world that we live in, oh, thank the Lord!
And now, give your favorite uncle a hug!
[laughing] Come here!
Raul, what are we supposed to do now?
[whispering] I have no flipping idea.
But for now, we keep smiling and waving.
[both laugh nervously]
[upbeat funky music]
