Oh, the Offshore kindness!
It's endless, folks.
It's just like the ocean that stretches as far as the eye can see.
But today is a historical day.
They sent us a gift.
A window to paradise.
The Offshore!
Oh, wow!
A dream!
Look at all that food.
Wow. Nice place, huh?
Aren't they from the Shell? What are they doing there?
Look, it's the doctor from the Shell.
They're in the Process!
Really? We're working hard to send the turbine
- and they're hanging out at the beach? - Relax. Something is wrong.
My name is André.
I am broadcasting this big announcement everywhere in the Inland.
This year, the Process will start early.
Tomorrow.
As the new Process Leader, I invite everyone who's 20 years old
to go to the ARU office today
to update their implant.
Even those who removed their implant can sign up again.
We will accept you back.
You are forgiven.
That's wonderful!
I'll be waiting for those who are worthy.
Long live the Offshore!
- Hooray! - Hooray!
Long live the Process!
- Hooray! - Hooray!
Hooray! Long live the Offshore!
Hooray!
We thought we were tricking him, but he was actually tricking us.
André... He's your brother, right?
The Shell will lose credibility with this announcement, Xavier!
Now everyone will want to insert their implant again.
Michele, our plan can still work if we manage to send the device.
There's no way we'll be able to get in the ARU now, Xavier. Look!
There's no way.
We won't be able to take the turbine there.
Michele, relax. We can figure something else out.
We can sneak into the Process building.
Maybe put the turbine in the sub.
We could do that during the Process.
We don't even have to sneak in. We just need a 20-year-old on the inside.
Xavier, would you go?
What?
- No way! - But you're 20.
- A lot of people are. - They don't agree to the plan.
- I don't have an implant. - Just put it back.
- He's forgiving everyone. - I don't like this plan.
How would I even take the turbine? It's huge!
You don't need to take the turbine to the Process.
You just need to move it to the rooms.
Didn't Marco lose his legs there?
Yeah, but it's just for one night.
You'll get in the air duct and turn off the fan.
I'll sneak in with the turbine, put it in the sub,
- then you can go. - Are you crazy?
I'm a Toledo, I won't last. There has to be another way.
The Gardrone! We can tie the turbine on it.
It can fly to the Offshore. It will make it there, I know.
No, Xavier. You're the only one I trust.
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
CHAPTER 02: SHOCK
Joana...
we all have the same goal.
Take down André as soon as possible.
I thought you supported your leader.
He has overthrown the council.
He's out of control.
He's arresting anyone who disagrees with him.
What does that have to do with me?
You came here to negotiate, right?
André doesn't negotiate.
But we...
We have a lot more in common, Joana.
There are many prisoners in the RTC.
If you help us release them, we can take down André.
Release them, how?
RTC's security system acts on the implants.
If someone tries to escape, a deafening whistle paralyzes them.
That was André's "gentle" solution.
He knew he couldn't fence the Offshore.
And you know we don't have implants.
- We're immune. - Exactly.
You just need to deactivate the system and release the prisoners.
Joana...
If you help us,
we'll take care of you.
Here.
Take off your implants, and you can take care of it yourselves.
This tip is for free.
But you don't wanna do that and lose the privilege
- of being worthy of the Offshore. - Joana!
We must act fast!
André will start an illegal Process tomorrow!
Okay.
Under one condition.
After you take down André, you have to end the Process for good.
All Processes, permanently.
That's what I thought.
Get ready for an intense Process.
From now on, you'll be my eyes and ears.
If you're more experienced, get ready,
because the Process will be different this time.
And if you're new to this, pay attention to people just like you,
brave and determined.
Thank you, André.
You can count on me.
Next!
What are you waiting for? Hurry up.
I see you're also from the Shell.
Yes. I mean, I was, but it was my biggest mistake.
I'm glad you changed your mind.
Mom...
Mom, I didn't pass, I'm sorry!
Help me, please!
Look at Jeremias. He couldn't take two hours in the Process.
Shut up.
I lasted longer than you.
Sorry about that.
It's fine. It was for the best. I have a lot to do here anyway.
Organize the closet, fix the stove.
What did they ask you?
Why? Are you interested, Xavier?
Did you forget everyone here's a Toledo?
He'll be eliminated before the interview.
I'll be eliminated for not wearing the uniform correctly.
- Nice. - Or because I'll be late.
How was it, Jeremias?
So...
Dang. Implanting this thing was worse than taking it off.
Xavier...
I thought about it.
I'm not sure you're the best option for the Process.
Why?
Did you send for me, Michele?
I want to talk to both of you.
Please, have a seat.
I know our ARU mission didn't work because of one of you.
I want you to be honest.
Which one of you is against the plan?
- Nobody's against the plan. - We already explained.
- A bottle broke. - That's not what I asked.
I'm asking who sabotaged the task.
- No one sabotaged the task. - We couldn't.
You have 30 seconds to tell me.
- What are you doing? - What?
You don't have to do that. We were focused on the mission!
- Yes! - I mean, at least I was.
I didn't do anything! You think I wasn't focused on the mission?
No, Glória. You saw me with the turbine when the bottle broke.
You said some kids threw it, but I didn't see any kids.
Because you were distracted! But I saw them, Michele!
I also saw you had enough time, Xavier.
What are you talking about?
Michele, I was on the lookout.
I saw when the kids threw the bottle and when it broke.
Xavier had time to do everything.
No way, Glória!
- I went slowly so no one'd see me. - There!
- You just confessed you were slow. - No, I didn't.
Enough, Xavier!
- Glória, leave me alone with him. - What?
Michele!
Thank you for trusting me.
I had to tell the truth.
Michele, trust me. You know I didn't sabotage the plan!
- You know I was focused on the mission. - I believe you, Xavier.
But you couldn't defend yourself.
- Glória passed the test, you didn't. - What test?
If you're going to be a mole in my brother's Process,
you need to be prepared.
This was the first elimination process of your training.
Damn it, Michele! Fuck!
- I'm glad it wasn't for real. - Now everything is for real.
Got it?
The first day of my Process, they took me with another candidate.
Bruna.
She was my friend.
We were interrogated by Cássia, she was head of security at the time.
One of us was a mole for the Cause.
I passed.
Bruna didn't.
But you were the mole, right?
The point is, I had to deal with the situation.
Michele, but that's you. You know me.
I had already given up on the Process.
- It's not for me. - You can't give up.
It's gonna be hard.
But I'll train you.
You put the implant back. You want to sleep here, eat our food--
Everyone is welcome here!
- I'm not okay with this. Get out! - Stop!
Rafael is there, Elisa is there. Even Joana is there.
But you're leaving! Get out!
Go fuck yourself.
Out!
Why was the Process moved up?
I'm here.
- I know. - Who's the Process Leader?
Just pick your tomatoes.
You sent that note,
but you were not brave enough to do anything.
I'm not a traitor.
Each Process has a pattern
according to the leader's personality.
Each test examines a type of skill.
Knowledge, emotional balance, logic...
How's André's personality?
Bigoted, relentless.
Damn it, Michele. I won't pass.
Relax. Some things never change. The interview, for example.
Nobody in my family passed. I won't pass either.
All you need is confidence and a good story.
Why do you want to pass?
I'll be a great asset to the Other Side.
If I have enough merit, you'll know.
I don't want to pass. It was your idea.
I know, but you have to pretend. Come up with a good story.
Improvise something.
Okay. Wait.
Wait. Let me think.
My grandmother...
- Bromeliads. - Bromeliads?
Yeah.
It's a flower.
Many say it's a myth,
but my grandmother's mother saw one as a kid.
She said it was beautiful. I always dreamed of seeing these plants.
Bromeliads, fern plants, banana trees, prayer plants.
Everyone says plants bring life,
but we only have sand and dirty water in the Inland.
When Grandma died,
I promised myself
that I'd plant a bromeliad even if it was on the Moon.
But the Offshore is closer, right?
That's a good story.
- We just need an object. - What object?
This.
Perfect! Your grandma gave it to you.
Your boyfriend gave it to you.
Boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend.
It's for the interviewer.
You have to say what the Process wants to hear.
- I'm not a good liar, Michele. - Don't think of them as lies.
You have to believe them.
What if I don't wanna lie?
You don't have a choice.
My grandma gave it to me right before she died.
She got it from a cousin.
He's also dead.
Then he... I mean...
My cousin...
- I feel terrible, Michele. - That's normal.
You're learning. Now, let's move on to the tests.
See that guy?
What do you think of him?
He's tall, has straight hair,
- good-looking. - No, Xavier! Personality wise.
- I never spoke to him. How would I know? - Look at his hand. Look!
He's biting his nails.
That shows he's insecure, nervous.
Got it.
Look at that girl sitting there.
- The one on the floor? - Don't point at her.
Through the mirror, you can see how she's looking at him.
Look, she's into him!
Exactly! Come!
From that group, who would you choose to take a test with you?
I think that guy in the middle.
He looks very sure of himself, confident.
His nails look intact at least.
That's what everybody thinks, but take a good look at him.
He only cares about himself.
He has his back to that girl. She would be a great partner.
- She's quiet, an observer. - Got it.
Whenever you have a test with a partner,
you never know if that person is with you or against you.
So you gotta choose someone who can help you,
but that you could also eliminate.
All right, I think I get it. I'll remember this.
- I'm ready. - No. The training just started.
First step: breathing.
Eventually, anyone can set up a cube,
but 40% of the candidates can't because they get too nervous.
Xavier, before you start, close your eyes.
Align your shoulders...
and take three deep breaths to clear your mind.
One...
Two...
Three...
Go!
Focus on what you're doing.
Forget the rest.
Don't look at other people's progress.
You'll get distracted. Focus on what you're doing.
If time's running out and you haven't set them up yet,
steal from who's next to you.
- Take them! I've seen it happen! Steal it! - I can do that?
Yes! Take them!
Hurry up! You're running out of time. Come on!
Take it!
I passed! Yeah!
Xavier. Take a good look.
If you can steal from someone, someone can steal from you.
Be careful.
You've been eliminated.
Damn it!
Why do you want to turn that on?
Leaving all the time can raise suspicion. We need a powerful sound...
Turn it down!
What's going on?
He's paranoid.
Our house is tapped.
Tapped, Rafael? Shut up!
- What are we doing about the turbine? - Elisa is going later.
- I'm tired of waiting. - Joana!
Where have you been? I've been looking for you.
Did you find what you were looking for?
No. It was deactivated.
Aren't you gonna ask?
Elisa and I checked, but the cargo hasn't arrived yet.
- Did something happen? - No. I was just walking around.
- They're watching us. - You're being obnoxious, Rafael.
Good luck.
I'm gonna pass. Trust me.
Everything will be fine, Xavier.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME
Hey!
Are you Jeremias's brother?
I am. Do you know him?
Man... So, you're a Toledo.
Holy shit!
I'd better stay away if I don't want to be eliminated.
Hey, guys!
He's a Toledo! Don't touch him, it's bad luck.
Just kidding, man.
I'm Pedro.
Xavier.
I met your brother right after he came back.
But he was doing great, like he hadn't been eliminated!
It was weird!
Yeah, I know...
I think it's inside out.
You've been waiting for this opportunity your whole life!
Here's my advice.
Don't be afraid to do whatever it takes.
No matter the cost. The Founding Couple was like that.
They weren't afraid to do what had to be done.
I'm like that, too.
That's why the 3% that I'll choose
will change the Offshore.
Repeat after me:
- Thank you for the chance... - Thank you for the chance...
- ...to prove... - ...to prove...
- ...that we are worthy. - ...that we are worthy.
Thank you very much.
Hi.
If all As are Bs, but not all Bs are Cs,
is it possible for an A to be a C?
Xavier Toledo.
Nobody from your family has ever passed the Process.
Never.
How are you different from them?
I...
I mean...
Of course I'm different.
They came here already defeated,
but not me.
- Are you optimistic? - Yes.
The Offshore is made of realistic people, not optimistic.
But it's also important to be optimistic.
For example...
my grandmother.
She always said that there are bromeliads in the Offshore.
And I have always enjoyed gardening.
- She gave me this souvenir-- - I didn't ask about your grandmother.
Did you live in the Shell?
They have plants there.
Yeah, but not a lot.
But in the Offshore they have amazing species,
cutting-edge technology and--
If you always wanted to come to the Offshore,
how come you took off your implant?
And if you did it once,
how can I be sure you won't do it again?
I give you my word, I won't take it off. I swear.
- I wanna go to the Offshore. - I'm sorry, Xavier.
- I have to eliminate you. - No! I need to pass!
Your background is not good. Your answers are unclear and evasive.
- No! I need to pass! - You're too naive.
- No! - Are you attached to This Side?
- No, I'm not. - I can't help you, then.
Please, reconsider.
- I'm really sorry. - Look at me. I need to pass!
- I'm eliminating you. - Please don't. I need this!
I'm on a mission!
I have a plan! I'll destroy the Offshore!
Excuse me?
I'll destroy the Offshore as an impossible dream
for all the defeated families, like mine.
I'm tired of putting myself down.
I'm tired of letting people laugh at me.
Of people thinking I'm not capable.
I want the responsibility to prove to everyone in the Inland
that your background doesn't matter.
- What matters is where-- - Time's up.
- But I'm not done. - Please, candidate.
And?
We'll see.
Did I pass?
You can move forward to the next stage.
Really?
I passed.
I passed!
What's your name?
- Denise. - Thank you, Denise!
I passed!
Did you get it?
- Wait. - No.
The turbine wasn't there. Second day in a row.
You didn't have to turn this on.
- Are you sure? - Yes, I looked in every fridge.
Shit!
Fuck! We're falling behind.
André is no longer in the Offshore meetings.
We're left in the dust.
We all knew it wasn't going to be easy.
We have to wait a little longer.
They will send the turbine.
One of us should've stayed in the Shell, but no.
We trusted Glória, Michele, and Xavier.
If it's not here by now, it's not coming.
But we have to stick to the plan.
- We have to think of another option. - There is no option!
Don't let them seduce you.
Is that it?
You're not gonna talk to me?
What do you want me to say?
We're in this together. We have a right to know what's going on.
Nothing is going on.
I want to know what's going on.
You lost control in there.
Nobody's getting seduced.
It's her, isn't it?
Are you jealous?
Of course not.
But I'm disappointed, because you're hiding something.
I have nothing to say.
I told them to fuck off.
Who?
People from the Offshore who are against André.
They locked people up, and now they want our help
to release the prisoners and take down André.
Joana, that might be good.
Nothing good comes from them.
But it might.
We have to talk to the others.
This could be our best bet while we wait for the turbine.
Trust me.
Let me help you.
What happened to Xavier?
He left.
He was ashamed.
You didn't kick him out?
I don't kick anybody out of the Shell.
I'll never do that again.
The Shell is for everyone.
I know you believe that.
You've been here since the beginning.
I know you care about the Shell as much as I do.
Less than two minutes.
I didn't have to say much.
The interviewer noticed my potential right away, you know?
My dad taught me that you must show confidence with your eyes.
What's up, Toledo?
Are you daydreaming?
No.
How was your test?
Good. I passed.
Confident for the next one?
Candidates,
- find a partner for the next test. - I thought the cube was a group test.
Find your partner.
You two,
follow me.
God damn it.
Don't screw this up, Toledo.
Have a seat.
André, are you really going to start with this test?
Is that a problem?
Maybe it's too early to start with this test.
It tests interaction, endurance...
and especially willpower.
Don't you think these are essential to the Offshore?
These are electric chairs.
You're gonna kill us?
The board shows the shock voltage each one of you will get
and the total amount between you two.
It's 20,000 equally divided by two.
At any time,
you can drop your own voltage,
but if you do, and your partner doesn't increase his to balance it out,
you're both eliminated.
- I don't understand. - The total must stay at 20.
Otherwise, the clock will stop.
The test lasts for one minute. Good luck.
Fuck!
Hey! Get us out of here.
Come back! Get us out of here!
Easy, Toledo. Relax.
We can do this.
Fuck.
Calm down, Xavier.
I can't breathe, Toledo!
I have to lower it.
Pedro, don't lower it. I don't wanna have to go higher.
I just lowered it.
Raise a thousand, Toledo.
- No! - Raise a thousand. I just lowered it.
Shit! Pedro, I can't take it anymore.
Pedro, I'm gonna pass out, I have to lower it.
Don't lower it.
- Raise yours, Pedro! - I can't!
Take a deep breath! Breathe.
- I can't, Toledo! - Yes, you can!
- I can't take it. I'm sorry! - Pedro, raise it!
Raise it again.
What she's asking for is out of the question.
Ending the Process is ending the Offshore.
Not necessarily.
We just need to give up sterilization.
- What? - Separate them from us.
It's against the Founding Couple's values.
It was different in their time.
The Offshore's first killer
is leading the Process, choosing the youngsters.
I know it's absurd.
Can you imagine the type of people he'll bring here?
Pedro... We should each take 10,000.
You just have to take it!
Pedro!
Stop the test! He passed out!
Stop the test! Help! Somebody help!
Pedro? Oh, fuck!
Congratulations.
You guys passed.
Take them to the infirmary along with the doctors.
They're passing out. I'm canceling the test.
The tests can't be easy.
Otherwise, we'll have weak people.
- Shit, Joana. Why didn't you say anything? - It's absurd.
We didn't come to take down André and put someone in his place.
But maybe then we can negotiate.
Negotiate? We're not here to negotiate. Remember?
We have to try.
- We have nothing to lose. - This Verônica...
- What did she offer? - Nothing.
They'll never agree to end the Process. That's what we came here to do.
This plan is more realistic. And it can be good for the Inland!
They wanna use us because we don't have the implant!
Son of a bitch.
- Fuck, they heard us! - Relax, Rafael!
Joana, what are you doing?
Hi, Joana.
We can't waste any more time.
We're willing to negotiate the end of the Process.
We just have to talk and...
Of course.
I understand.
When you were 20,
why did you come to the Offshore?
I don't have a good answer.
I came because everybody came.
But didn't you leave anything behind?
What do you mean?
Didn't you lose anything?
You're testing me, Joana, just like in the interview.
If we are going to team up, I need to know who you are.
We are very much alike.
We want the same things.
No, that's not true.
You've been in the Offshore for over 20 years.
You turn a blind eye to what happens in the Inland.
All the abandonment.
- It's really sad. - The Offshore sabotages the Inland.
The Division pursues those against it.
The Process separates families.
I left my whole life in the Inland, Joana.
I left my family behind.
Joana...
André's Process is in progress.
We need to break into the RTC tonight.
Can I count on you?
Xavier.
Wake up, Xavier.
Xavier?
Hi.
Are you okay?
Thank you so much.
They told me what you did for me. I'm really thankful.
Yeah, Pedro. Now you just partner up with a Toledo to pass.
Sure thing.
Xavier?
Your necklace fell down.
Just one more night, Toledo.
You'll get in and turn off the fan. I'll get in the air duct
- and send the turbine. - What if you run into your brother?
I'll handle him.
After the Pulse, André...
will understand me.
We can't back down just because they're also against André.
We're not backing down, we're making a deal.
I don't agree either, but we don't have the turbine.
If Michele hasn't sent the turbine, we must think of another plan.
What plan? It will be tough. We studied the turbine from the Shell.
We can't improvise. It's too risky.
What's risky is trusting this woman. Do you know what she wants us to do?
She wants us to go where the prisoners are. What is it called?
RTC.
Yes. We'll just turn off the system that keeps the prisoners
- and Verônica's people will do the rest. - What if we get caught, Joana?
We don't have any weapons. We're fucked. It's insane!
You said we shouldn't let them seduce us,
but you're the first one to fall for their bullshit.
I trust Verônica.
Why?
What did she do to gain your trust?
Okay, Rafael. We get it, you don't want to help.
We can do this without you.
This is not the kind of help I need.
If I give you what you need,
what will I get in return?
So now you don't mind being a traitor?
They are deceiving me in here too.
Do you remember your Process?
You got so close.
You used Fernando's death to eliminate me.
That's true.
But what if I tell you
that this is your last test?
What if I tell you that your Process isn't over?
