Season 1

After a failed attempt to reconcile with his father, and upset by the mistakes of the previous robbery, Pedro considers quitting, only to come up with a plan for an even bigger burglary. In 1970, Victor infiltrates the slum and meets the drug lord who wants to make cocaine popular in Rio de Janeiro.

Pedro becomes annoyed at Lico’s constant blunders during their robberies. In 1995, at age 14, Pedro and Lico started doing cocaine. They carried out their first burglaries to support their addiction. In the 1970s, young Victor is pressured into snorting coke for the first time. He questions his own actions as an undercover agent and considers walking away from the mission.

At the age of 15, Pedro undergoes a brutal period of rehab treatments. As an adult, devastated by a terrible loss, he succumbs completely to his drug addiction. His friends worry that he might OD. In 1970, young Victor takes a risk and makes one more delivery for the drug lord, Ribeiro.

After being rushed to the hospital due to an OD, Pedro gives rehab another shot, far away from Rio de Janeiro. In 1999, at age 18, he’s released from the Juvenile Detention Center. His relationship with his father takes a turn for the worse. In 1970, young Victor strengthens his ties with Ribeiro, the drug lord, and learns all about the operation behind getting drugs delivered to the Favela.

Clean and serene after months of rehab, Pedro is lured right back into drugs and crime. The police are on his tail. In 1978, Victor joins the Civil Police and, during an operation in the favela, he runs into an old acquaintance. Disillusioned, he joins a unit that promises to rid Rio de Janeiro of drugs.

After an unsuccessful heist and the death of a gang member, Pedro ends up being kidnapped, putting his mother and sister in a risky situation. They come up with a plan to rescue him while Victor, after finding out about his son’s abduction, swears revenge on the perpetrators.
