Family Matters (Questão de Família)

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?

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.
