PARIS, 2018.
In the hotel room.
Catarina! Catarina! It's Shéron here. Oh my God! How could something so horrible happen like this! Ângelo spent the whole night sitting in the armchair by your side.
Ah... Uh... Hello, Shéron. Good to see you. You know, I'm still feeling quite unwell, can I see you another time? Could you call Ângelo for me, please?
He left earlier, I have no idea where he went.
Who's around?
Daniel is here. Call him for me, please.
Of course! I'll go get him. Anything you need, I'm at your disposal. You missed Julien's party, it was incredible and
—Shéron, please bring Daniel.

On the hotel bed, sitting.
Daniel, where did Ângelo go?
He went to the Alps, to handle the legal matters.
You know, right? What should I know, Mrs. Catarina?
The shareholders, the whole world will be watching the Laggerdoff hotel chain. We need a plan.
In thought.
Thank goodness, Catarina has regained consciousness.
Daniel, we'll stay in this room until we can piece this puzzle together. Ask the hotel staff to bring us all the food we need and two laptops. We need to resolve this before Ângelo returns.
Alright, Catarina. But why do we need to resolve this so quickly? You've just suffered such a huge blow.
Because I know very well that we must act as swiftly as possible!
BERN, 2018.
In the Alps.
In thought.
It's been so long since I was last here, 1998... That school, nothing against it, my mother loved this place so much, and as a child, I managed to ruin everything... Fool, fool, fool... What did I gain? My father is still the same, a piece of trash, and my mother's death.

At the morgue.
Here are the bodies of Victor and Caroline Laggerdoff.
In everyone's sorrow.
Yes, it's them. Please cover.
PARIS, 2018.
Knock on the door.
Who is it?
Hello, Mr. Daniel, a call from one of the shareholders.
Hmph. Now I'll receive all the possible condolences from these scoundrels who only made my parents' lives harder.
Do you want to take it, Mrs. Catarina?
Say I'm still very unwell... Forget it, pass me the call.
NEW YORK, 2004.
At the countryside house.
How wonderful, you're here! I'm absolutely delighted.
We're the ones who should say that, we're thrilled with the invitation, Mr. Aristóteles Lemes.
Please, no formalities, Mr. Victor, you're already like family to me.
Well, Mr. Aristóteles, where's Catarina Lemes? It's been so long since I've seen her, since Bern, she was so polite and welcoming, just like you.
Unfortunately, Catarina died of cancer.
My condolences.
It's alright, Mrs. Caroline.
Ângelo and I suffered a terrible blow, but we've moved on.
Still, it's very sad what happened. She wasn't much older than me.

In the hallway.
Come, come, Catarina! This is my room!
It's beautiful, Ângelo!
Let's go see the horses! Let's go! To the stables!
Downstairs.
Please, Catarina, don't run.
Exactly!
Ângelo will probably take her to see the horses. You know, Ângelo will make a fine stallion in the future...
In Victor and Caroline's thoughts.
This man seems to already have everything planned for Ângelo and Catarina's future.
