"Come on, joão." "Give me a break." "L got your money." "What's the difference... don't raise your voice in my house." "I'm not shouting." "My money, their money, what's the difference?" "I'm paying you cash, no checks." "Don't raise your fucking voice in my house." "I'm not screaming, I'm whispering." "L got to come out of here with this or I'm going to the slum, to fuck knows where, but I'm not leaving without this shit." "Man, I'm not giving you anything." "You're talking shit, fucking bugging me." "Take these 5 grams and get out of here, you fucker." "I'm not selling to you anymore." "Get away from me." "You die away from me." "João, I tell you." "You're like a brother to me." "Can I have these two also?" "Get out of my sight, out of my home, dude." "Here, such a fuss." " Here's your ambrosia." " Thanks, Mrs. marly."

"It's a preliminary phase." "But it's very important." "L don't want to scare you." "But I don't want you to be nervous." "But this judge, she's considered a hard ass." "Mr. joão guilherme Estrella, are you aware of the accusations made against you?" "Yes, ma'am." "Had you been involved with the police previously?" "When I was a teenager, I used to smoke..." " Smoke what?" " A joint." "A few." "L can see you've been traveling through Europe." "What was the purpose of your trip?" "A honeymoon." "The records says you were arrested with 6 kg of cocaine." " Ls that correct?" " No, that's not correct." "Can you tell me how it differs from reality from your point of view?" "Lt was 5.7 kg." "And I wasn't carrying." "Then who was carrying it?" "Someone seriously addicted." "You say you were at 11 A.M. at an apartment in copacabana with 5.7 kg of cocaine whose origin you ignore." "Precisely." "L don't know where it came from." "What were you doing at the apartment" " when the police arrived?" " Your honor, I was arrested as soon as I came from the street." "The only things on me were sandwiches and guava juice." "So who would plant almost 6 kg of cocaine in that copacabana apartment?" "L don't know." "Maybe the person who should be in my place." "The prosecution has any questions?" "I'd like to make a question." "Proceed." "Since the records mention that the defendant has a car, a permanent residence and has traveled to Europe," "I'd like to know if the defendant works."

" Who's the loser?" "João, you're being childish." "If you really love me, you want to see me happy." "L came to talk to you, because I didn't want to end it like this." "We could still be friends." "Bye, Sofia." "I'm sorry." "What's with the meeting?" "You're gonna have to tell us what you were doing outside till two in the morning with the feds." "And it better be good." "Because it sounds like you're snitching on us." "That's fucked up." "I'm stuck here in this fucking hot hellhole precisely because I didn't rat out some fucker in here and neither those who turned me in." "And what were you doing with the screws?" "Playing cards?" "Smoking a joint?" "L was seeing my wife or ex-wife or whatever." "L paid for a visit and didn't get any." "That girl is stupid, man." "And I opened a gap that you can use." " You got it?" " L got it, man." "Now go and enjoy it." "You go, because I'm going to sleep." "Hey, big boy, we're on to you, you hear?" "The guy just opened up a new Avenue for us." "Come on, dude." "Take it easy on the playboy." "What's the news?" "I'm telling you, transfer." " You're gonna be transferred." " No bullshit." "There's this big shot from the command and the pigs don't want two leaders in the same prison." "Let's go, let's go." "There's some weed to pick up." "Fuck, this place is too crowded." "L can't sleep here." "A fly would have to go on a diet to sleep here." "L should have let the guys kill me." "At least, I'd be in the morgue, sleeping in a drawer, real cool." " You snorted 50 grams." " L have to snort more than that to sleep in this place." "L have to hang like a bat from this ceiling." "Come on, man." "Give me a break." " Get a place to sleep." " There's a cell full of africans." " You want to go there?" " No fucking way." "I'd rather sleep standing." "And it's fucking hot in this place." "Don't you have any water, dude?" "A soft drink?" "Get us some water, man." "This is like the Sahara." " I'm no bedouin." " Chill." "You sound like Mick Jagger." "What?" "The guy with the big mouth?" "Are you laughing at me?" "When's the breakfast?" "What breakfast, man?" "You just snorted 50 grams." " What you need food for?" " Hey, brother." " Big guy." " Go get some food for us." "A big Mac, a quarter pounder, some nuggets, whatever." "You think this is a resort?" "I'll pay for it." "L want my big Mac with a big coke, so..." "Stuff that coke where the sun don't shine." "Go to bed." "Fuck you." "A new hearing was scheduled and we have to counter the prosecution's strategy of an article 14." " What's that?" " Conspiracy to distribute drugs." "The feds will present this as evidence." "It's a picture of your shoe with 10 grams of cocaine." "You can say the 10 grams were for your own use." "And you never saw those people before." "Or you can admit the 6 kg were yours." "You have a week to decide..." " Take it easy." "Come on." " Get in and be quiet." "You treat me right." "You know who you're talking to?" "Get away from me." "Why aren't you in jail with us, you shit?" "Because I have a college degree." "I'm not staying in the sty like you, asshole." "You got a degree as a snitch." " Go fuck yourself." " Son of a bitch." " Go screw yourself." " You fucked me." "You thought you had it made." "But you got fucked." "You're gonna get fucked." "You think they won't fuck you, too?" "Quantity, joão." "Quantity." "You got screwed." "Go fuck yourself, asshole." "What's with you, man?" "Stop that." "You thought you had it made." "Go to hell, bro." "Shut up, dude." "Son of a bitch." " Go to hell." " Motherfucker." "Stop that noise." "I'm gonna smack you all." "I'm gonna shoot you." "You calm down, assholes." "Mr. danilo rebelo."

"Six kilos." "Do you know how the drugs arrived at the apartment?" "No, I don't." "You want to make me believe nobody owned the cocaine?" "L really don't know." "So I should conclude that 6 kg of cocaine on the 9th floor, flew in through the window?" "Sorry to interrupt, your honor." "But you didn't ask me that." "You'll speak when spoken to." "The cocaine was mine, your honor." "L got in my car and took the drugs there personally." "Ms. Laura and Mr. Sergio are not involved in this." "L did it all alone." "L wanted to make that clear." "L did it all alone." "L opened the newspaper, there was my picture." "They wrote, "Johnny behind bars."" "my name isn't Johnny." "My name is joão." "I'm no criminal." "I'm no Pablo Escobar."
