Most Beautiful Thing (Coisa Mais Linda)

I can't stop thinking about last night.

Me neither.

Today is the first day of a new year, right?

The next 364 days are an open book.

Let's tell a good story.

- Let's have a swim. - Not now, Lígia. No...

Come!

Where are you going?

Come back!

Lígia!

Wait.

Lígia!

Come back!

Lígia!

Come back!

Lígia!

Lígia!

Lígia!

I'm here.

It's okay.

It was just a nightmare, okay?

Breathe.

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Look to your right.

Now to your left.

That's it.

Squeeze my hand.

What's your full name?

Your full name?

Ella Fitzgerald.

Maria Luiza, listen.

It's just not normal to recover from such injuries,

moving from a vegetative state to full consciousness

as quickly as you did.

You don't know her like we do, Doctor.

Physically, she's doing fine.

I'm worried about your emotional state.

You may experience emotions more intensely

due to fatigue and stress.

Well, if that's the diagnosis, I'll be in here forever.

Don't exaggerate.

I just want you to get a lot of rest.

No stress.

I want to see you back here in a week. See? You're discharged.

- I promise. - Thanks, everybody, have a good day.

Goodbye. You too.

What is it?

What's with the worried faces?

There's something we need to tell you.

She's dead.

Isn't she?

Strange...

It's like nothing's changed.

You know, there were a lot of times I thought it all had been a nightmare.

Lígia seemed so real in the hospital.

Her body language, her smell,

even her voice was the same.

My mom used to say that when a loved one visits from beyond,

it's a sign of protection.

I pushed her to sing, Adélia.

But I had no idea...

None of us did. It's not your fault.

None of us did? Seriously?

I told you.

As soon as she turned up bruised, I told you we had to do something,

and you said we should keep quiet!

This isn't the time. It's not her fault.

Of course it isn't,

but we could've done something, and we didn't!

- That's not fair. - None of this is fair!

Only one person is to blame, and you know who it is.

Did you know she would've turned 30

next month?

I've been thinking a lot about that too.

Why am I still alive

and she's not?

Think of it as a gift from God.

Mama!

Oh, sweetheart, I'm so glad to see you.

Let me have a look at you.

- Come here. - You two are so cute.

I went to see Daddy.

- What are you talking about? - I went to see Daddy.

- Where? - At work.

Pedro?

Maria Luiza.

I can't even imagine what's going through your head right now.

What are you doing here?

I'm still your husband, aren't I?

Well...

I'm here to take care of you.

You don't need to worry about anything anymore.

Maria Luiza,

I know this may be hard to believe,

but during all these months, I was never,

ever, far away from you.

Malu!

Finally, Shorty. Fuck.

Malu.

Thank God you're back.

This place will finally be fun again.

Adélia, handle this delivery, will you?

Shorty, would you please carry these boxes?

Comandante! Formiga!

Follow me.

Malu?

Are you okay?

- No. - Want me to take you home?

- Yes, I do. - Come on, I'll take you.

Bye, Adélia. Come.

Adélia, fetch me some water.

This countertop needs cleaning.

I could be managing deliveries, cleaning countertops.

I don't shirk from hard work.

But don't come at me with that attitude.

I'm not your employee.

I'm one of the owners.

Sorry, Adélia.

I didn't mean to offend you.

Tell you what. I'll manage the deliveries myself.

- Smells delicious. - Hi, my love.

I wonder if there's anything in the world you can't master, Thereza.

Seriously!

I'm getting spoiled

now that you're making me dinner every evening.

Remember those dinners at Café en Rose?

How could I forget?

Well, I thought I'd give it a try.

Of course, it won't be as delicious as the real thing in Paris,

but... who knows?

Does wine go into this recipe?

Just a little.

But I had quite an emotional day with Malu today.

I imagined it would be.

I even tried to write a little, but my mind was all over the place.

Complete garbage.

My mother called me today, Thereza.

She did? That's wonderful!

I hope it was to apologize for kicking us out of the apartment

and refusing to recognize your daughter?

But people don't change just like that.

I don't know if they do, but I thought I'd meet her

and hear what Mrs. Eleonora has to say.

Why? She deserves to wallow in her own misery.

Thereza, she's my mother.

Yes, I know.

You know, I was really angry at Malu and Adélia today.

I said we could've done more to prevent Lígia's death

when in fact the fault is his alone,

with some help from your mother.

You can't blame Mom for his actions, Thereza.

How dare you defend those two after everything that happened?

What's wrong with you, Nelson?

No.

This time, I think I'll move...

This one.

Oh, no!

Yes!

Ah, I lost again.

Good morning.

I didn't want to disturb you last night when I arrived,

so I slept out here.

I figured you needed some time alone to recover.

- Sweetie, have you brushed your teeth yet? - No.

Then go, like I asked you to.

No, Mom, I'm playing!

Kiddo, do as your mom says. Go on.

Forgive me, Maria Luiza.

Please forgive me.

I was lost in life.

I was completely lost.

I got mixed up with bad company,

so I stayed away to protect you and Carlinhos, you see?

But I knew I'd be back as soon as I could, I was sure of it.

I knew your father would take care of you in the meantime.

I took care of myself.

I can see that,

and I'm so, so proud of you.

Why?

Why should I believe a word you say?

Because I'm your husband,

and we have a son.

And I love you.

You're the only woman I've ever loved, Maria Luiza.

The only one.

Daddy, Daddy! Let's play!

Hey, kiddo! We can't right now, you know why?

Daddy's going to work,

but you and Mommy can go to the beach.

I gave Adélia the day off to join you.

You gave Adélia the day off?

Go enjoy this beautiful sunny day with your friends

and then you two come back home, all right?

Then we could have dinner together.

Okay?

Okay.

What about Coisa Mais Linda?

No way! Especially now that Pedro's back.

Maybe we should wait a little bit.

Malu just got home.
