CONGRATULATIONS, RAFAEL! THE MERIT IS ALL YOURS

It's me!

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

CHAPTER 08 BUTTON

That room is empty.

Hello. Please...

Good morning. Ezequiel, right?

-Michele used to sleep here-- -She has been eliminated.

What? There must be a misunderstanding. She passed the individual test.

-She was at the feast-- -The candidate was eliminated.

We found inconsistencies with her registration.

She was taken to the gates a few minutes ago.

None of you noticed any odd behavior?

You didn't find anything off about her?

Let's not worry about it, Fernando. You're almost to the Offshore.

I'd like to quit.

What did you say?

I'd like to quit.

Have you lost your mind?

You made it this far. Very few do.

Why do you want to quit?

I'm sorry, but I want to leave now.

Then come with me.

CONGRATULATIONS, JOANA! THE MERIT IS ALL YOURS

-Fernando, are you sure about this? -Yes.

-Hi, Fernando. -Hey.

Congratulations. The test you created was very interesting.

-It's a pity you've been eliminated. -Yes, because I quit.

You've shown resistance to the Process since the Survival stage.

-But it was your own test that got you. -Look, I'm quitting because I want to.

Because Michele was eliminated. Wasn't she?

It's a shame your motivation to pass wasn't strong enough.

What?

-Instructions for your recovery... -Where's Michele?

-I wanna talk to her. Wait! -Try not to reminisce

-or talk about what happened here. -Where is she? Where's Michele?

Where is she? Open up!

Get her out of there!

Get her out, right now!

What have they done to you?

You're dismissed.

No, please. No.

Cássia and I have suspected you from the start.

Your friend Bruna didn't really fit the profile.

Why do you want to kill me?

Why so much anger?

Why so much anger, Michele?

I'm here to protect you. I just want to talk to you.

You try to kill me, murder one of my agents...

César was very dear to us, Michele. If the other agents find out,

they'll want your head.

And me? What do you think I might want from you, Michele?

In exchange for not eliminating you right now?

Help me out, please.

Tell me...

why do you want to kill me?

Look, Michele, I'm not leaving until you give me an answer.

Tell me!

You... killed my brother.

You killed... my brother.

I killed your brother?

And you're seeking revenge? Is that it?

Go on.

I... I'd like to apologize.

I came very close. I did my best, but on my individual test--

Don't worry about it. You did your best.

And the Cause acknowledges that.

But the fight must go on and that's why you're here now.

Can you tell us if any of these agents...

made it to the last stage?

-Her? -I saw her going into an individual room.

Near the end.

I think she's still in.

Anyone else?

Yes... but I never would've guessed he was one of us, too.

Thank you, comrade.

We'll find you soon for your next mission.

For now, the fight goes on. For the Cause.

For the Cause.

Two! Can you believe it?

Yes. Finally, we did it!

Her... I recruited her.

She was a lot of trouble. A lot.

Jorge didn't trust her...

but it all worked out in the end.

She was confident.

Now, this boy, he wasn't in my group.

I don't know what to expect from him.

Dear candidates, now that you're almost to the Offshore...

RAFAEL ON YOUR WAY TO THE 3%

...please come to the garden to go through Purification.

Let's go. Your friends are ready and waiting.

I'm sorry about César.

It's time to get on with your new lives.

-Welcome. -Thank you.

Come on, Joana! What are you waiting for?

Copycat.

Have you seen Fernando?

He and Michele haven't shown up, so I don't know.

Is there a problem?

I don't know what you said to Fernando,

but if it were up to me you wouldn't be here.

Yeah, but I am still here.

In fact, I'm in the Purification with you.

So, if we're gonna live in the same place,

if our families are gonna be neighbors, if my kids are gonna play with yours...

maybe you should start looking at me in a different light.

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

There's a lot to purify, but it's just a matter of time.

Ezequiel would like to have a word with you. Come with me?

Only me?

It's a routine chat.

Hello! Is anybody there?

You have to stay in your room until the transportation to Offshore!

Please!

Please, open the door! Please! I know I was wrong! I do!

-Calm down. You need to stay here. -Listen to me.

I need to ask the widow's forgiveness. You know her name? Luciana.

Ask her to come here. I need her forgiveness.

-Calm down. -Please! I know I was wrong!

Why?

Why do you think I killed your brother?

He was with the Cause.

Your brother, André Santana, was with the Cause?

That's unlikely.

But even more unlikely is that someone who was tortured and killed by me...

could pose for a photo on the Offshore in such a lively manner.

André Santana.

Doesn't he look a little older to you?

-I'd say... -That's not real.

...about five years after his "death."

Your brother was never with the Cause.

He went to the Offshore after the first Process I led five years ago.

-That's a lie. -That's the truth.

That's how they recruited you, right?

"Join the Cause to avenge the death of innocents and end segregation."

They trained you hard for five years.

They indoctrinated you, made you see things...

all in the name of a lie.

Who recruited you?

Tell me.

Was it the person who told you exactly how I tortured your brother?

How I killed him?

Because that is a recruitment technique made up by an old man.

A resentful and hateful old man...

who seeks everyone's pity from behind a wooden mask.

I know him well.

When we used to meet, he didn't always wear the hood.

I was with the Cause, Michele.

But, thankfully, I left that childish ideology...

a long time ago.

You believe you're fighting against the world's injustices

and that by destroying the Process, you will find equality.

But the truth is that there are no heroes or villains.

No inequality or injustice.

Because we know there is only one difference between people:

those who have merit and those who do not. Period.

Look.

This old man who destroyed your life... it's him I want.

Tell me where to find him...

and I'll consider letting you go.

I won't talk.

I won't... talk.

Don't try anything stupid, okay?

I'll leave you and your brother alone for a while.

-What, honey? -Come here.

-I can't even use the restroom anymore? -Come here, quick!

Stop filming me, I'm using the restroom. Can't I do that in peace? Stop, seriously.

Stop. Turn the camera off. Enough. Turn it off.

Come here!

Come here, quick!

-Turn it off. -I want to see my brother.

I want to see my brother!

You couldn't have involved me in this. Especially now!

Everything is being questioned. Corruption is all people worry about.

-Nair... -And those who think that you--

Calm down. I appreciate what you're doing, but I ask you to remain calm and trust me.

Trust you?

How, Ezequiel, when you leave during the Process

only to be seen with a child in the Inland?

-So, you know. -Of course I know.

You ask me to switch Aline's report and you think I won't look at it first?

Who do you think I am?

It's insane, Ezequiel. Helping Julia's son?

It... It was a moment of weakness.

I did what I did because of our friendship.

But that stops now. I'm not supporting you anymore.

-Nair... -Our communication ceases here.

Nair, you're the only one I trust.

-The only one! -Too bad I can't say the same.

They said you wanted to ask forgiveness.

Not exactly, but I need you to listen to me.

It wasn't me.

-I can't deal with you right now. -No, please. Why would I kill César?

Why?

Ezequiel... had to get rid of me. He fabricated this lie.

I swear. I swear!

I swear, it wasn't me! It wasn't me!

Aline, if you're going to keep lying, why did you call me here?
