Look. He's back.
- But I saw that person. - When, exactly?
Wait, I'll show you.
There, now.
Right when they're holding me. You just can't see it.
You two are never together in the same image.
Are you trying to imply something with that?
No. Not yet.
Listen, detective...
I'd never harm my father. Never.
Most people who do...
never have a reason.

Marco?
Did you like it, Pedro?
You almost scared me to death.
To death?
No.
But I also don't wanna see you. Specially snooping around.
I wasn't "snooping",
they were all just laying there.
I took some time away after the whole dad thing,
I thought you wanted to be alone.
I still do.
I didn't know you were back to drawing.
There are so many things you don't know, Pedro.
Or you just don't want to know.
Do you think it's been easy for me?
I wanted to spare you from seeing dad like that.
I meant no harm.
Now do I have to lose my brother, too?
No.
You won't.
Good.
Where would I find another loser for games?
- Loser, me? - Yeah, at soccer, pool,
table tennis, foosball... Do you want a match?
- Sure. We'll see. - Lets do it then.
Me, losing at foosball... Best out of 5?
We don't need to talk about this now...
But don't abandon your treatment.
I know it's your choice, but...
Pedro.
I'm staying, man. I'm staying.
Can I?
Sure.
But that's different... We can't discuss that.
No, wait... I'm not saying he isn't a star. Of course he is.
Lucas has the potential to be the team's best.
That's why he's wanted by many teams in Europe.
Enjoy it while you can.
Raise the volume.
Lucas hasn't been playing half of what's expected...
You know why, don't you, Lucas? Because of all this shit,
He'll be back, you'll see. The kid shows promise...
You can turn it off now. Go on, turn the radio off.
Listen...
You better start listening to what the lawyer has to say.
Fine, fine...
Sooner or later, this would happen.
You always see this on the news. People trying to get your money.
Hey. I don't want to talk about it.
And I don't want you badmouthing anyone.
I've already lost my practice today, so cut the crap.
Hey, punk... Show me some respect.
I'm the one solving your mess.
Your Honor, good morning. I represent our star, Lucas.
Fuck, doc... He gave you a yellow card.
Don't worry, leave Your Honor up to me.
Lucas, my son...
Don't do anything stupid... Think about your future.
Your Honor, I'd like to ask for a small favor.
In case there's a need for a new hearing,
please check if there's a game on that day, my client...
Counselor, we're not here
to know if your client has a game to play.
We're to know if your client has a son.
Who are you?
The star's father.
And how old is the "star"?
I'm 19.
Would the "star's father" please remove himself?
Yes, sir.
- Are you over 18? - Yes.
Ma'am, please.
You two don't have to worry,
your counselors know what they're doing.
Well...
Let's review:
Ms. Isabel
has filed for a paternity acknowledgment for her son.
She claims mr. Lucas is the father.
She also requests, after paternity is acknowledged,
alimony for her and her son.
I beg to differ, Your Honor.
Only to her, because they never had any relations.
Your Honor, I don't think it'd be a problem for mr. Lucas,
who, by the way, has quite some wealth.
Yes, but the fact that my client has money or not, dear sir,
doesn't give your client the right to claim it.
Gentlemen, I think you're going too fast.
Before that, we need to ascertain the paternity.
We tried everything, in the best of our abilities,
before filing this suit.
Your Honor... This alimony request
came exactly when my client
has just signed his first significant soccer contract.
That's why we find this lawsuit to have an odd timing,
if you know what I mean.
I believe she's just one of those
who's always after... little scams, Your Honor.
Counselor, I find it best for you to measure your words
before making any kinds of accusation.
I was a virgin.
He was my first.
Well, even if she was a virgin,
something we can't prove,
that doesn't mean my client is the father.
Mr. Isabel, you were a minor when you got pregnant.
You were 17.
I was.
And mr. Lucas knew you were a minor.
Yes, he did.
We're the same age.
Your Honor... Of course he knows he's the father.
Even after all this new found fame,
he went there with his sports car
almost every day to visit her.
Only after she got pregnant he disappeared.
No, wait. I didn't disappear.
I was living in the Team Base Camp.
Sure, you were living there but you missed her.
And then I ask:
Do we really need to take this test
to prove something so obvious?
It's obvious, Your Honor!
Yes, we do.
The DNA test will be requested. Any objections?
Not from us.
Well, well...
Your Honor, let's imagine for a moment
that each of my client's little girlfriends
decides to file a request for one of those tests.
Poor guy... He'd have no blood to even play soccer.
Counselor...
If each of your client's "little girlfriends" got pregnant,
it would be best for your client to change his job.
The test will be taken.
A new hearing will be scheduled. Thank you.
FEARLESS JUDGE
Hello.
What's up?
What' up, Pedro?
What is it?
Nothing.
It's... nothing.
What do you mean, "nothing"?
I don't know...
I've had it.
You've had it?
What, are you seeing someone?
If you think so...
What happened, Juliana?
Fuck, man...
I'm beginning to like you.
OK, I like you too.
I don't want to force you into anything,
I don't want it to seem... I don't know...
I'll just mind my own life.
On the phone again?
Why are you nervous, mom?
Because of the whole Lucas thing?
It's not just Lucas, it's you too.
You don't seem to understand what's happening, Isabel.
For you, whatever happens is fine.
Mom, don't you remember Lucas helped us once?
- He will help again. - But it's not just help!
It's being a father. Or isn't he?
Because someone is...
You're not the Holy Mother, having a child with Holy Ghosts.
If it's not him, just tell me: "Mom, it's not him."
Because then I'll chase down the real father.
It's just that Lucas' father doesn't let him help...
That man's worthless. I've known him for 40 years.
Now he's saying that...
Lucas will play in Europe, he can't have anyone's child.
Mom, I told you, it's his dad that won't let him help.
- It's not just help! - Stop that, mom.
It's admitting he's the father. That's forever.
You listen to me.
It wasn't you who thought about all of this.
I'm sure it was that lawyer who popped in here with the idea.
Oh, really? Now you listen, Isabel.
If mr. Evandro wants to get money from Lucas,
that's their problem.
Ours is a different one.
Your son will grow up without a father.
Do you think that's good?
When he goes to school on Father's day,
he doesn't have one. Do you think he'll like that?
On the streets, kids asking: "Who's your father?"
Then he'll be all happy to say: "I don't have one."
Everyone with a father, and the kid all alone?
No... My grandson needs a father more than money.
Mom...
Let the lawyers handle it, OK?
Please.
Daughter...
When I got separated from your father, you were 1.
Now go inside and see if his name isn't on your ID.
That's what matters, not just money.
If tomorrow Lucas loses both legs and never plays soccer,
he'll still be the father.
Go check on your son.
I need to take this call first.
Never mind, I'll go.
Unfortunately I can't disclose any information,
we're still on trial.
The player's father guaranteed he's available for the coach.
Earlier on, on Twitter, Lucas had said
that he was healed from his thigh injury
that pulled him from last game.
Helena.
- Hi. - How are you?
- Fine. And you? - Me too.
So, did you like the movie?
What movie?
I saw you yesterday at the movie entrance.
Jealous, Pedro? At this point?
You know I was always jealous of you.
Jealous of you being a better judge than me.
Let's get to work.
Detective.
Hello, Your Honor.
Listen, I tried my best to avoid this,
but we need your testimony for your father's death case.
In your office, or wherever you think it's best.
- Fine. - I don't want you to relive it.
No, you're just doing your job.
I'll check my schedule and I'll let you know.
Good. I appreciate it.
Excuse me...
I'm getting some candy, OK?
I already gave the OK for the player's DNA test.
I'll need you to help me getting the child's sample.
Don't worry, no problem. But did you hear...
- about the "star"? - No, what?
Lucas didn't show at the Team Camp.
The press is saying you had him arrested.
- You must be messing with me... - OK, I am.
But he didn't show, that's true.
Well, he'll be today at the stadium, right?
- Of course. - Someone goes there,
gets him and subpoena him to schedule the exam.
Well, a scandal, in my opinion...
It's like a giant ass.
A famous soccer player like yours...
It's hard trying to hide anything from the press.
And Lucas makes a lot more money with his image contract
than with his salary.
My dear colleague,
when you lose your image, you lose your contract.
Can you imagine it?
A father, refusing to acknowledge his own son?
- Counselor... Evandro, right? - Yes.
Please, try to summarize how much we're talking about,
and what for, exactly.
Actually...
May I?
It's not much.
Just enough for...
no one to ruin the star's image, you know?
But mr. Evandro, the judge already asked for the test.
I don't see where this conversation's going.
Let me summarize it for you.
It's always good to avoid making the press
talk about everything that's going on.
I have a better idea.
What is it?
- Do you see that? - Yes.
Please, close the door on your way out.
I'll close it. With pleasure.
And tomorrow you can open the papers
to see if the news are pleasant.
In fact, if you don't want to wait until tomorrow,
go on the internet in a short while.
- Let's have some ice cream? - Yeah!
- I'll have two flavors. - 2 small flavors or a big one?
- 2 very big flavors! - Very big! And you, Marina?
I'll have... one flavor and 2 cones.
- Two cones?! - Two cones.
Give me your hands to cross...
You need to hold hands to cross the streets, boy.
Pedro, tie them up just like I taught you.
Hi, mom.
Hi, son. Are you ready?
- I'll take them, OK? - No need, I'll do it.
We'll talk when I get back.
- Fine. Have a nice class. - OK.
Let's go? I'm the best child-to-school taker ever.
Hold my hand.
What?
You don't steal from mine but I steal from yours.
Be careful with your uniforms.
Delicious.
Little popcorn's popping, popping...
They leaked it to the press.
They gave all the details: her name, address, everything.
- That Evandro plays dirty. - He's famous...
- Blackmailer dirty scumbag... - Of the worst kind.
Pedro, I've got to go.
Are you staying?
I still have a sentence to write.
Well...
Can you close the door, please?
Scumbag...
- Excuse me. - Hello, Marli.
Your Honor, that player's here.
I can't see him. Is he alone?
No. He's with that little girl.
So send them in.
If you please...
- Thank you, judge. - Can you close the door?
- Sure. - Thank you.
- Water? Coffee? - No, we're fine.
Well, officially I shouldn't talk to parties in a lawsuit,
but since you came together, it may be important.
You may sit.
So, what happened?
We want to get married, judge.
Get married?
After all this mess with the lawsuit? The child?
We like each other, judge.
I don't want to put her through this,
not even I want to be in this.
That's fine, Lucas.
You want to get married, I even think it's nice.
But what's being judged is the paternity.
And you haven't even given a sample for the DNA test.
But we don't have to.
- He's our son, really. - I never said he wasn't.
This is all about the managers and lawyers...
Even my dad, you know...
He kept bugging me every day...
I almost fell for it, but I've had enough.
We want to get married, judge.
That's nice...
Well, I have to congratulate you for the decision.
Thanks, judge. But can we do it today, now?
What? The marriage?
- Yeah, judge... - You must be joking.
I told him, judge.
But... can't we? You're a judge!
Isn't it just like Christening, we can do it in an emergency?
It doesn't work like that, Lucas.
Besides, you're not even dressed for it.
But listen...
You can consider yourselves married.
You even gave her that earring.
Well, now what?
- Are you playing? - Yes, I am.
- You have a family to support. - That's right...
I'll drop her off and then, straight to Camp.
I wanted to play married, but since we can't...
You don't need that, you're married already.
In fact, this calls for a celebration.
I'll have Marli bring us a champagne.
- Yay! - Come on, judge...
I can see you don't cheer for my team...
Just tell me one thing: You, with that size of yours,
how do you dribble the defense?
Judge, if you give me the ball they can't outrun me.
I fly...
Your body will grow in Europe...
- I hope so... - Congratulations.
Lucas, Lucas! Please:
How does it feel to arrive just on time and still score?
I know I was just on time, but I had to score for my son.
There we have it, folks, our star Lucas, who...
JU, I LEFT YOU A TOWEL.
CLOSE THE DOOR WHEN YOU LEAVE.
KISSES.
