Six months earlier, Nascimento and his wife Rosane (Maria Ribeiro) are pregnant with their first child. Unwilling to be an absent father, Nascimento begins searching for a worthy successor, which coincides with an operation to secure the location for Pope John Paul II's overnight visit at the Archbishop's home near the slum buildings at Morro do Turano. Meanwhile, long-time friends Neto and Matias share an apartment in Rio and have just completed the admission tests to the PMERJ: Neto begins working as a supervisor at the police auto mechanic shop, whilst Matias is responsible for registering and filing every police complaint in a small archive office. Matias also attends Law school, where he befriends classmates Roberta (Fernanda de Freitas), Edu (Paulo Viela) and Maria (Fernanda Machado); all three are members of a NGO sponsored by a senator and operating in a drug traffic area run by a major drug lord nicknamed "Baiano" (Fábio Lago). He also befriends Romerito, a local boy who suffers from severe myopia.
