The BOPE's training program proves to be a gruesome challenge as many candidates quit the program, including Fabio (who applied as a way to avoid Oliveira), but both Neto and Matias successfully pass the course, which Neto celebrates by having a BOPE tattoo on his arm. In college, Matias is rejected by Maria and her friends, but confronts Edu and orders him to arrange a meeting with Romerito the next day to give him a new pair of glasses. Edu reveals Matias' plan to Baiano, who sets an ambush to kill him; however, upon returning home, Neto informs Matias of a job interview in a prestigious law firm that will conflict with his meeting with Romerito and volunteers to deliver the glasses to the boy in his place: this results in Neto being mortally wounded. When Baiano prepares to execute him, he notices the BOPE tattoo, realizes he has killed a BOPE officer and goes into hiding.
