I told him some things,
even not knowing if he would respond.
Actually, I don't even know if he listened.
And then I went to the bathroom,
and that's exactly when it all happened.
We know you have a jacket just like the suspect's.
I do, commissioner.
I do, does that mean anything?
Your Honor, to me it does.
Since the suspect is hooded in the video,
coming from the same place you left.
Commissioner, let me just see if I can understand:
You suspect my client, an honorable and respected judge,
of committing patricide?
Maybe the worst crime to ever exist.
Just like that? Patricide?
Based on what?
On the fact that someone there
wore a jacket similar to Your Honor's jacket?
Counselor, the witnesses don't recall anyone else at the scene,
- besides our judge. - Who are your witnesses?
Hospital employees, nurses mostly.
I see...
And did you analyze that video?
Did you compare his height with Your Honor's?
It's easy to be done. Did you do it?
That can be arranged.
Great... That will show it's two completely different people.
But your work won't end there.
Because it's your obligation
to discover who killed colonel Fernandes.

Don't the policemen usually have lunch at the same place?
No, policemen usually prefer bars, or all-you-can-eat.
And I wouldn't have your company there.
You'll spoil me this way...
I'm just treating you well.
You and judge Pedro have been friends for long, huh?
Friends?
What we have is a bit far from friendship...
I don't have anything to do with this, but...
- That's what it seemed... - Really?
I know you're a detective,
you like getting your hunches right, but...
We have far more interesting things to talk about.
You were brilliant.
Thank you.
You, as a family judge, don't usually deal with cops...
Those guys...
If you take it easy, they become stronger.
They're crazy to get cases that give them publicity.
Yeah...
"A judge being judged."
That would be an excellent headline.
"The convicted judge."
I'm going to the bathroom for a minute. Excuse me.
- And how's your office? - Everything's great.
Actually, my father used to focus on criminal law.
I know.
But after he died, we started taking other cases
and now the office takes civil and family cases, too.
Are there many lawyers?
Around... 30 associates.
Well, we must talk about your fees, later.
You pay for lunch.
We'll talk about that another time.
- Hello. - Hi, Helena.
- How are you? - Fine. You?
- Fine... - Good.
Let me introduce you. This is counselor Ana Paula.
Ana this is judge Helena, from...
From criminal law, I know. I've heard a lot about you.
- Nice to meet you. - Likewise.
My father said great things about you.
- Your father? - Yes. Guilherme Moreira Costa.
You're Ana, Guilherme's daughter.
It's hard to live under his shadow.
But if genetics is on your side, you'll do just fine.
I hope our friend is taking good care of you.
Actually, she's taking care of me.
On his father's case.
You, accepting people's help? Wow!
Finally!
Congratulations, Ana.
I've tried that for a long time and never made it.
Helena is a very close friend of detective Daniel's.
He's sitting over there with her.
He's investigating the case.
- Excuse me. - It was a pleasure.
She may even be the detective's good friend,
but apparently her thing's with you.
Yeah, but my "thing" is not with her.
Well, let's review:
Mr. Gustavo and mrs. Solange were married for over 20 years.
22, Your Honor.
22 years of incomprehension.
Well, continuing: They didn't have children
and they separated exactly 7 years and 3 months ago.
Practically never saw each other again,
but now mr. Gustavo filed
for a paternity investigation on the twins
that Mrs. Solange gave birth to.
Nice to meet you. I'm Solange.
How are you?
Listen, there's no need for an investigation.
What do you mean, "there's no need"?
Because they're his kids, it's guaranteed.
And who guarantees that?
Your Honor, let me explain:
We always thought about having children.
But then we always postponed...
What happened? We didn't.
And he's always bossy and organized.
So he decided to freeze sperm in one of those clinics.
But it was your idea.
Fine.
Then I went there and froze an egg too.
And then, around a year ago,
when I saw my expiration date was close...
I went to the clinic and ordered me some.
Is that allowed, judge?
I have nothing else to do with her.
Fine. Let's proceed, Your Honor:
My twins were born, dashingly beautiful.
I mean, not so beautiful. They look more like him than me.
Judge, even if the sperm is mine,
don't I need to authorize it?
Won't I be responsible for them?
Your Honor...
My client is not claiming for anything from mr. Gustavo.
She's not claiming...?
You called me to the notary's office to register the kids.
How can I do it just like that?
If I don't know for sure if I'm the father?
But I told you, you are.
My sperm's just laying there,
then one fine day they call me to register children.
Wait a minute... Counselor, is everything all right?
Judge...
I just want to know if I'm the father or not.
But I told you, you are!
If I am, I'll come forward.
It'd be my pleasure and duty. And not just on paper.
I'll register them and raise them. Like a good dad.
I'll take them home, give them soccer T-shirts,
like any other dad.
- Dream on, darling. - Why am I dreaming?
Mr. Gustavo...
What we need to ascertain now...
- Counselor...? - Oh my God!
Have you ever noticed how easy women faint?
Let's give her some time.
That Solange is crazy...
She decides to get pregnant on her own and them calls him.
I'll summon the clinic director
so we can further investigate the insemination process.
Pedro, I've been meaning to ask you:
How is your father's death investigation?
I saw the commissioner here the other day.
It's still in the beginning.
But at least my lawyer was here when he came.
Were you?
- I was. - In what way?
- In the professional way. - Oh, right... Of course.
For now.
Well, at least she doesn't work here.
"You don't shit where you eat."
Come in.
What's up?
Is everything all right?
Kind of...
Kind of?
- There's a lot going on. - What is it? Spill it.
I'm not going to make you be my psychologist...
After my internship here, I'm a good option.
You know, I thought again about looking for mom.
The other day you convinced me to let it go,
and now you bring it back?
I know, but...
After the colonel left, I've been thinking about it.
I don't know if it's to compensate for his loss...
I wouldn't be able to recognize her after all this time.
Pedro, the more you dig, the worse it gets.
Worse than how it already is,
it can't be.
They think I have something to do with dad's death.
What do you mean?
Who thinks that?
- The police. - The police?
The police thinks you'd harm dad?
- I know... - They're crazy.
- That's why he came here. - Who did?
A policeman.
- A redhead? - Yes.
- Detective Daniel? - Yes, detective Daniel.
But he didn't mention dad.
What did he say, then?
I thought it was strange, but he came asking about you.
I said nothing, maybe he wanted to blackmail you.
You did the right thing.
You did the right thing...
Do you know what this is?
You've got to be kidding me! Come on, Pedro!
- Yeah... - Wow!
Just look at this...
Hello?
Of course. I'll be right back.
I'll see you there in a moment.
Kisses. Bye.
So?
Now the loser can lose properly...
That Daniel is completely obsessed with you.
To investigate you like a serial killer...
He's got his eyes on me.
Pedro, you can't even talk to him anymore, understand?
Thank you.
- See you tomorrow, judge Pedro. - See you tomorrow, Marli.
I'll close it up. Thank you.
Pedro, I called you because I was worried about our case.
Did we examine everything? Isn't anything missing?
So, I got myself a lawyer?
Just a lawyer.
For now, just a lawyer.
What are you doing?
I'm waiting for you to say "stop".
It's my daughters.
I had plans of spending the weekend with them.
Hello?
- Hi. - Hi... How are you?
- I'm fine. - Are the girls ready?
They're coming.
I wanted to talk to you for a moment.
I just thought you came to pick them up, I'm in a hurry...
- Dad! - Hey!
Renata...
You must be Pedro.
Nice to meet you. Eric.
- How are you? - Fine.
- Bye, girls. - Bye.
- We finish the game later, OK? - OK.
- Bye. - Bye...
Let's go? Pick up your things.
I'm sorry, I had no idea you were with someone.
Neither did I, a while ago.
- Good guy. - He is.
I don't mean to pry, I just worry about the girls...
Do you really?
I really do.
That's what I wanted to talk to you about, I want...
I want to review our arrangement and spend more time with them.
The arrangement is the same, 50/50 each,
but you end up using only 3% of your time.
I want you to forget that absent Pedro.
That's the only Pedro I know.
Are you saying that because you just saw Eric?
No, Re... I want you to be happy.
And if he's part of that...
OK, kiss mommy and let's go.
Let's sleep early, tomorrow we have a big day.
Will uncle Eric be our dad too?
Yeah... Is he going to be our dad too?
Let's go.
Dad, what will we do this afternoon?
- This afternoon? - And me?
- Guys, it's still morning... - Let's go to the movies!
- Yeah! - Fine, we'll go to the movies.
But now let's enjoy the park.
Leave your dolls here and go play.
Be careful at the swings.
Careful...
Balance...
Very well... Now with only one leg.
Very well!
I can do it better...
Switch!
Look after your brother, OK? Mommy will be right back.
Marcia!
Dad!
Dad! Dad!
It was awesome...
Why are you laughing?
Stand guard for me.
Don't take too long, I've only just started here.
Marcos, your room is being cleaned.
- What? - It's being cleaned.
You better wait at the yard.
Thanks, man.
Hey...
What's up?
Me too...
I am.
No, they're at their mother's.
Come over.
OK, kisses.
Pedro?
- Good morning. - How are you, judge?
Anything I can help?
Well, I hope so.
It's about the day my father died.
That day wasn't easy...
Do you think...
someone may have really turned off his oxygen?
Well, there's no doubt someone cut the oxygen tube.
That's how it was when I went in the room.
And...
Do you remember, or did you notice
anyone different, a stranger, in the middle of that mess?
No, no one different...
I mean, I remember you arriving and going in,
and that's it.
Then that whole confusion started, and I saw no one else.
To be honest, I didn't have much time to pay attention.
They say the camera filmed someone, but...
no one showed me the video.
Poor guy, your father was suffering a lot...
Yeah.
He had a warrior's soul.
- Well, thank you. - You're welcome. Good luck.
How are you, Your Honor?
Everything OK?
- You're from the clinic, right? - Mr. Gustavo.
How are you? Yes, I am. Dr. Fernando, clinic director.
Clinic, my ass... That's more like a sperm store.
I've been looking for you ever since I heard of this.
How can you do this shit without telling me?! Are you crazy?
- But your wife... - Ex-wife!
When she got there she said
you were traveling, but you were OK with it.
Right... And did I sign anything stating I was OK with it?
- But they're your children... - I really hope so.
Because if they aren't, I'm closing that dump of yours.
That's a crime!
Family law court, 3:30 instruction hearing.
Gustavo Coutinho vs Solange Nadina, room 1.
How are you?
- Hi... - Hi.
What surprise is this?
You'll have to put up with me today.
Counselor Suzana had a problem, I'm replacing her.
What do you mean?
There was no one else, it's just for today.
Pedro... Hey...
Hey... What's all this?
Do you know how horny I was when I got in here?
Your Honor?
Let both parties know the hearing will be in 15 minutes.
- They're already... - Marli, do what I said, please.
Excuse me.
Well, I summoned mr. Fernando Neves,
the director of the fertilization clinic,
to see if he can make things clearer.
Well, dr. Fernando, you were responsible
for mrs. Solange in vitro fertilization, correct?
Yes, that's right. And, thank God, it was successful.
The children were born perfectly and healthy,
that's what's important for us.
Twins?
Yes, in insemination that usually is very frequent.
Dr. Fernando, how surely can you guarantee
that the material utilized was indeed mr. Gustavo's?
Our clinic is very thorough in that matter.
I also believe you must have thousands of clients,
with their material properly separated?
Not thousands, but hundreds. Everything very organized.
According to international medicine standards.
- Well, then you guarantee... - Counselor.
I still haven't granted you the right to speak.
Counselor, any questions?
Your Honor, I'd like to know from him if it's possible
that the material my client supplied may have been switched?
That's absolutely impossible.
We never had something like that in more than 20 years.
Well, as far as I understand, the process depends
on your and your employee's competence.
As I said, the material is kept in safes.
We have filed registers that insure
that the material belongs to a specific client.
Registers are useless, Your Honor.
They don't actually prove if the children are theirs.
Counselor.
Any questions?
No, Your Honor.
Mr. Prosecutor?
Then I'll grant the DNA exam for you both and the children.
Any objections?
No? Counselors?
That's what my client wants, to know if he's the father.
Great.
We'll see each other at the next hearing. Thank you.
Pedro, I'm sorry about coming to talk before the hearing.
I know it's complicated that I'm here,
it was an emergency. It won't happen again.
Don't worry, it's fine. You apologized, that's alright.
We'll talk later.
- OK? - OK.
Fine.
Pedro, I'd like to talk to you.
- Will you really accept this? - Accept what, Helena?
Your own lawyer, in one of your lawsuits.
- Don't meddle, please. - Pedro, this is not a joke.
- I'm not joking! - How will you be impartial
if you have a relationship with one of the parties?
- What relationship? - Come on...
The same relationship you have with the guy who's after me
saying I killed my father?
Pedro, just understand, I'm not against you.
I never was.
I'm saying this because you're important to me.
The lawyer got sick, Ana just came to replace her...
Fine, do what you think it's best.
