Kadu came on to the marking, avoided the defender,

made the protection in the penalty arc,

from here he can kick from out of the area

cleared another one,

switched to the right leg, he kicks, an amazing goal!

Goooooal!

Mr. President, I'm so sorry.

We are worried about tomorrow.

Don't worry.

Our part is done!

I hope you realize how much is at stake here.

And that all depends on the trust we have on you!

What exactly you mean by "our part is done"?

If everything is okay, then we'll be going.

Don't get me wrong, but I just have one question.

If the other party comes to you with the same purpose?

and offers the same amount?

Well, in that case, I'll have to be fair.

Fair?

Yes.

Fair!

Impartial!

Wouldn't it be more honest to return the money?

And who's talking about honesty here, doctor?

Come on, let's go, brother.

So come on, let's go, everybody!

43 minutes into the second half

two minutes left in the game,

the referee runs to the penalty mark.

The players surround the referee.

It was not a penalty. Only the referee saw that!

One goal away from the title. The crowd goes crazy!

Kadu has asked to kick!

He feels the responsibility in this moment.

The highest salary in the club! He's gotta prove himself now!

He runs for the ball and kicks!

This story is not based on real facts.

However obvious they may seem.

This is a work of fiction.

DARK SOCCER

Son of a bitch!

Fuck!

President, there's nothing I can do.

Okay! Enough!

You can go!

Here's your money!

Can I use the bathroom?

Go on!

But close the door on your way out!

I am very happy with this opportunity.

But my focus is the Brazilian National Team.

Okay!

You have no idea what this award means to me.

For a kid who came from a poor neighborhood, like me,

Kadu's return to Brazil is a risky bet.

Kadu says he's being chased by the press.

Soccer fans boo Kadu

when entering the field.

I don't think I've ever told you Kadu,

but in my entire career

few players have given me that feeling

that I had gotten it right!

I don't know what's happening.

I don't know!

Why did you take that penalty kick, Kadu?

I just wanted to score that goal.

For my mother.

So, Dr. James, the reason for this urgency...

The urgency is Kadu's contract.

Of course, but unfortunately it didn't work out as we thought.

You know that's not an option.

You know doctor Yuri,

was very upset about what he lost

because your client missed that penalty,

but that's part of the game, it's a bet.

We're going to talk about the signed contract

and the fine!

Mr. Jair!

Hi Geneci.

I didn't know you were here.

Today is the day I open up the house and clean it up.

But I don't even know why, right?

You are right,

I just didn't remember that today was the day you were coming.

Cleaning up a closed up house is harder than cleaning a crowded one.

I can imagine. Do you remember this photo here?

Huh? - Uh-huh.

Roni, Tonho and Kadu.

Only the three of them left.

My nephew was one of the ones who are gone.

Exactly, it's shocking, five of them, five, already gone

since this plague took over the neighborhood.

Couldn't you have arranged this date in a better place?

Just to remind you, it wasn't me who arranged this date.

I have a problem.

Two million.

Are you crazy, Flávia?

That's nothing to you, my love.

Don't call me love!

Here, take it!

There you go, mercenary. - Got scared of the penalty.

Tomorrow he's on another team, but the team goes on,

say something to the crowd. Come on, mercenary.

Say something, motherfucker. Fuck you, fuck you, man.

Fuck you!

Damn, look at the guy's car, dude.

Showing off, you fucking mercenary!

Go fuck yourself, son of a bitch. Fucking asshole!

Grow a pair, man!

Mad, lowlife!

He's an idiot, the president's stooge.

Look, the video is going viral all over social media.

Damn it!

That's everything we didn't need.

Those guys offended me, Genaro!

You're right, Kadu, that may be,

but you should not have met with Flavia!

You know very well that whenever you meet that woman

you lose your mind and do this type of shit here, Kadu.

This shit right here!
