Diogo Morgado on "Sei Quem Ele É"

Diogo was on a new Portuguese show called "Sei Quem Ele É" that recently premiered on RTP1.  The show is hosted by esteemed Portuguese Casting Director, Patricia Vasconcelos, whom Diogo has called "crucial" to his career.  Diogo was Patricia's first guest on her show, which focuses on the guest's experiences as an actor, from auditions to filming. As you will see, it also includes some amazing footage from Diogo's earliest auditions!  Our equally amazing friend Dina kindly sent us the interview, and she even more kindly sent us the translation as well, posted under the video.  Thank you Dina, as always!

Diogo in SIC's "Festa de Verão" commercial

On Saturday, Diogo will be hosting SIC's annual "Festa de Verão," where the stars from the SIC network come together for a fun party/live TV special to celebrate summer.  SIC aired a commercial for this year's "Festa de Verão" featuring Diogo and his co-host Sofia Cerveira.  It captures the Festa de Verão's theme of "we're all together" with everyone getting to go along for the summer fun, as you can see in the cute commercial posted below, which needs no translation. :)

Diogo on "Alta Definição"'s 5th Anniversary

SIC's show "Alta Definição" ("High Definition") recently celebrated its 5th anniversary, and they aired a special episode showing highlights from their past episodes and clips of many of their past guests sharing their congratulations.  Diogo, who has been a guest on the show twice since it debuted, sent along his good wishes, and the amazing Dina was kind enough to send us this short but sweet clip.  She also sent us a translation, found right below the video.

Diogo on "Alta Definição" 5th Anniversary Special

(A clip from Diogo's most recent appearance on the show plays.)

DM: I hope my son will say his father... was someone who never stopped questioning.

DM: Congratulations "Alta Definição." Five years, five years bringing to the Portuguese the best of Portugal.

(At the end of each episode, host Daniel Oliveira always asks the guest: "What do your eyes say?"  A clip of Diogo's answer plays.)

DM: I hope that my eyes say what my characters try also to say. The truth.

DM: A big kiss also to all who have watched "Alta Definição" all these years, and I hope will continue to see more. Okay? Congratulations "Alta Definição." We are all together.

_______________

A huge parabéns to all involved with "Alta Definição" for an amazing, successful five years! And here's to many more years to come.  If you have not seen Diogo's appearances on "Alta Definição" already, you should definitely check them out.  It is a really well done show, and as you'd expect, Diogo is an incredible guest.  You can see his first appearance on "Alta Definição" from October 2009 here, and you can also see when Diogo returned to "Alta Definição" with his interview that aired this past January here.  To be completely honest, this beautiful interview is without a doubt one of my favorite interviews ever, if not my most favorite, to date.  Watch it and you'll see why.  :)  

Oh and as always, a big, big obrigada to Dina for the videos and translations that make all the posts like this possible!

Diogo on Cinebox talking about "Virados do Avesso"

(courtesy of A Raquel Karolyi Machado on FB)

Diogo was recently on TVI's show "Cinebox" discussing his upcoming film, "Virados do Avesso" ("Turned Inside Out.")  Once again, the incredible, amazing Dina translated the short be sweet interview for us, found right below the video. 

Diogo on TVI's Cinebox

Voice Over/Host: Diogo Morgado is returning to Portuguese cinema.  “Virados do Avesso” is the film that shot in just three weeks. It was the possible thanks to a  break before returning to the United States, where the actor is filming a science fiction series, which by the way, is very different from this new project.

DM: João is an absolutely normal guy, with his life, his work, and  suddenly wakes up almost in someone else's life, despite it being his own life. Wakes up with his best friend for ten years, in bed, much to his surprise. He (João) asks "Carlos, what is this? We've been friends for ten years..." and he says "Yes, we've been friends for ten years, but boyfriends for five." And he is suddenly shocked. Does not realize what is happening. We only realize later, that he has amnesia and forgot that he was gay.

Voice Over: Behind the camera is Edgar Pêra, an unlikely choice to make a romantic comedy, but only in theory.

Edgar Pêra: You may think that I do not like romantic comedies, but it's a genre that I quite like. What I like in romantic comedies is that they are more than a comedy than a drama, but have the complexity of the two. The idea that someone loses memory of their sexual orientation, for that, it looks like a science fiction movie and then on the other hand, it's an opportunity to challenge the attitudes and roles that people are expecting. The expectations that people have with respect to each other.

Voice Over: Nicolau Breyner is one of the supporting actors, but not only.  He is also behind the scenes as a producer, with a very precise goal.

Nicolau Breyner: I think what the Portuguese want is to laugh, which is normal. We are in a time of  crisis. It's a good time to resurrect the Portuguese comedy, to the liking of the Portuguese.

Voice Over: "Virados do Avesso" with Nicolau Breyner, Diogo Morgado, among many others, is scheduled to debut on November 20th.

Diogo at Festa de Verão da SIC/Caras

This past weekend, Diogo attended Festa de Verão da SIC/Caras, which is the annual summer party held by SIC network and this year their sister network, SIC Caras.  The party is no longer a televised special, but was held at a nightclub called Seven in Vilamoura, Algarve, with many of the network's stars in attendance.  Our awesome friend/heroine Dina was kind enough to send us video of Diogo being interviewed on the Red Carpet for Festa de Verão, along with video of Diogo on the news talking about meeting fans along the red carpet.  She also sent us translations, found right below each video.  As always, obrigada Dina!   

Diogo at Festa de Verão da SIC

(First Diogo arrives at the party, by car, with his "Sol de Inverno" co-star, Cláudia Vieira.  Claudia has some difficulty in getting out of the car because her shoe gets stuck.  Both start to say hello to the fans along the red carpet.  Next, we can barely see Diogo running away from the red carpet, saying sorry to the fans that are calling him, because he can't stop. He has to go upstairs, to talk with Daniel Oliveira and his wife Andreia Rodrigues. Then in the video, Diogo is talking with them.)

Andreia Rodrigues (AR): You were a hit on the red carpet, but up here you continue to make an impression. Downstairs they all scream for you...

DM: Up here we have an insider's view, right? We can say goodbye to everyone, we can send kisses...

AR: Jesus... You're really a sexy-symbol...

DM: Oh, oh ... I'm nothing ... I'm nothing ... don't even know what you guys are talking about....

Daniel Oliveira (DO): Los Angeles, New York, Vilamoura (Algarve)... here you are, for now…

DM: Yes, [was in] Lisbon not even 2 hours ago...

AR: You're everywhere.

DM: Yes, we can say that I'm a little bit everywhere. That's true, that's true. But I couldn't fail to be here. It's a celebration of SIC, is an opportunity to visit you again, I missed it, I miss ... And it's a beautiful party, so why not?

DO: How do you manage handling it all with so many professional commitments?

DM: It's like pulling rabbits out of a magician's hat, as Luis de Matos (the Portuguese magician) [would say] ... it takes managing... must be managed ...

AR: Omnipotent, omnipresent ...

DO: You make it a point to keep that bond with Portugal?

DM: Bond to Portugal? No doubt. I'm Portuguese, I'm the proudest of my roots, and whatever else I can do for my country, I will always be in the forefront, no doubt.

DO: Look, and your style (clothes he is wearing)...

DM: My style? Don't embarrass me. Don't embarrass me. It's the style that was possible, okay? It's the style I can do to not be embarrassed, okay?

AR: Would you model? Do you want to take a little walk here? Do you?

DM: No. .. it's you who's good at that. Each person has their place.

AR: Thank you. Have fun.

DM: Thank you. A kiss. Enjoy it and until later.

Diogo talks about Festa de Verão

Diogo: (talking about greeting fans on the red carpet) It's a unique opportunity that we have, to be able to show people care and to reciprocate the affection to people. There is nothing more genuine than this. We go down the street and people are calling our names, and we see a smile on their faces. We should feel privileged by that. I felt so privileged.​

___________

We're equally privileged, Diogo!  :)  

Hope everyone is having a great summer!

Diogo talks about the end of "Eduardo"

Now that poor "Eduardo" has met his demise on "Sol de Inverno," Diogo recently shared some thoughts on the character coming to an end with SIC Online. Awesome Dina was kind enough to translate his words for us, found right below the video.  

Diogo talks about "Eduardo"

Diogo: What will happen here... (laughs.) I'm kidding... Basically, what will happen here today is the end of Eduardo, as we know him…  So, after a very troubled relationship with his mother, Laura, Eduardo goes a little bit to the extreme, here, and decides to meet with his mother in this abandoned building and tell her what he has already told her, but in a more decisive way, which is, basically, is whatever he feels. He thinks that the way he has always been treated by his mother justifies all the actions he has taken ever since. They end up becoming physically violent. Their discussion is taken to the extreme and ends with the death of Eduardo.  Curiously, it also happens to be my last day of shooting. It was a curious coincidence, a surprise for me because it turns out the farewell of the character, is the farewell to the team, is the farewell tothe project, a project that I loved doing.  Loved giving life to "Eduardo." I think there are many "Eduardo's" out there, although we may think not....  I think he couldn’t have had any other end, right? Eduardo is like chewing gum on the shoe, that when stuck, is difficult to remove. He would always be a character that would never have peace. He dies with the frustration of never having received the satisfaction of pleasing her. And finishes like he started, right? With this great frustration.  There are people who are in fact immensely frustrated and end up living their lives exhibiting this frustration. And I think that Eduardo, is basically that, and the result of lacking, and poor learning.  There are people like that. So I think it was a beautiful portrait, thank God, of a minority in our society, but that is there, and deserve to be recognized...  I hope you guys, on that side (other side of the camera), continue to follow "Sol de Inverno," and follow SIC Online, to maybe also learn of other things I might be doing outside of the series.  Stay on that side, that's the most important.

___________

Gotta admit, I kinda miss "Eduardo" already.  :)

Diogo on "Despierta America"

Diogo stopped by Univision's morning show, "Despierta America" to discuss the "Son of God" DVD and Blu-Ray, which is available NOW, so get your copy now if you haven't already.   Translation of this wonderful interview is now posted below the video, courtesy of our tri-lingual super-heroine, Dina.

Diogo on Despierta America

Host: Today coming to visit us is an actor of Portuguese origin, Diogo Morgado, who, in a masterful way, played Jesus in this super production that comes out today on DVD and Blu-Ray. So give a good day to Diogo. Welcome...

DM: Thank you. Thank you very much. What I like about being here in Miami... there's an energy ... I like it a lot. 

Host: You like it? And I'm delighted you're here, talking to us in Spanish... 

DM: Trying, trying... 

Host: No, you speak very well. And if you need help, we will help. 

DM: I have to change the [brain] "chip.
 Not Portuguese, not English, it's Spanish. Portunhol, I say it's Portunhol (Portuguese mixed with Espanol), but if you understand, okay. 

Host: Welcome to our home. Well, Son of God is a story of love and passion, which shows the more human face of Jesus and his strength, especially in the most difficult scenes. What does it mean to you to play Jesus?  What did you feel? .

DM: I can tell you that it felt like my purpose in life. Because I grew up with Jesus, with the Bible, in Portugal. So, to have the opportunity and the honor and privilege to make a story that is, for me, the most beautiful story that has ever been told, is surely something that changed my life and showed me the way. When I was on the cross, I can tell you that there was a time when I was completely crushed, because I felt that everything I had lived until that moment, was for that purpose. It's hard for me to describe because it is something so tremendous, it is difficult to talk about. 

Host: I get goosebumps seeing these beautiful images. How does one prepare to play a character like this? For a role like this? 

DM: For me the hardest part was trying to get to everyone. Because Jesus is not a character. Jesus is something who is alive for millions of people worldwide. So I could not do it for me or how I think it would have been. Would have to do a message of love for everyone, all ages, all nationalities ... That was for me the hardest. Jesus was the Son of God, but was in this world as a human. So my goal was to be as close as possible to Jesus and show people who feel touched in some way, that maybe it is a lot easier than you think, to spread the love. We live in a very selfish time, I think. 

Host: I understand you. I totally agree with you. You say that playing this role has changed your life. How has it changed? 

DM: I used to think that only a group of people could change things. Today I am sure that sometimes just one person with a will, the will to smile, to spread love, makes a small difference. I didn't used to think that way. That changed in me. The concept of reality and how we affect everything around us has changed indeed.

Host: I'm delighted that you think so, because I am of the same opinion. We do not realize the incredible impact that a person's smile may have. 

DM: Amazing, exactly. 

Host: Now let's change the subject, because beyond the movie, you have some fans who adore you ... love you ... a lot of girls say you are the sexiest thing that has appeared around here lately. 

DM: I don't know what you're talking about, don't know what you're talking about. 

Host: Do you consider yourself sexy? 

DM: No, of course not. If you had seen me 2 hours ago when I woke up ... you wouldn't say I'm sexy. 

Host: I think you are. The fans can start giving their opinion on social networks. Write to us. I would like for you to invite people to go buy the DVD of this movie, because I think it's a movie that we have to have at home, that reaffirms the power of faith, the power of love and the power to smile at life in the face of adversity.  

DM:Yes, what I can tell you is that if there is something in you that cares about the world, and if you give importance to what today we leave as a legacy for our children, and the message of love is important to you, why not get the DVD of Son of God and also give it as a gift. 

DM: A great gift. I want to thank you, Diogo. It was a pleasure talking to you. I am delighted to breathe a breath of your peace. You're a fascinating man with your inner peace. Best wishes.

DM: Thank you so so much.

Host: Don't forget that out today, on DVD, the film Son of God, a wonderful gift to see with the family. And now we'll follow up with our girls. What opinion do our girls have about Diogo?

DM: No, no...

(After the interview, Diogo goes backstage to take a "selfie" with the male hosts of the show.)

Male Host: Diogo welcome to our home. 

DM: Thank you. Thank you very much. It is a pleasure to be here. 

Male Host: I speak Portuguese, very Brazilian...

DM: Ahh you speak Portuguese ... We are brothers 

Other Host: I don't speak Portuguese, maybe someday, but for now I don't speak it. However do you speak a little "soccer." 

DM: Indeed, speak a little bit.

Other Host: Good luck to Portugal (in the World Cup.) 

DM: Let's see, let's see. 

Other Host: Look, here we are 3 amigos and we have a ritual that is very easy. I say "we are 4 amigos" because now we're 4, isn't it? Then do (and they do the classic move from the movie, "The Three Amigos" to show Diogo how to do it.)

DM: Okay...

Host: No. Let's do it more subtle, more subtle. We are 4 Amigos... (and they all do the "move.")

DM: I was the one who made ​​the stronger hip movement.

Host: I told you it had to be subtle, dude. 

And all they all take a couple of pictures....

"Sol de Inverno" - Episodes 192 and 193 Translations

As a reminder, I am only posting a few scenes from some of the most recent episodes of "Sol de Inverno" to catch us up.  To recap, even after her death, Thais was able to send a text to all of Eduardo's brothers and sisters telling them where their mother Laura was being held.  Eduardo was able to reach the doctor and have Laura moved to a vacant building before his siblings got there, and the doctor assured them their mother was not there.  But the siblings are more convinced than ever that Eduardo knows where their mother is, and have vowed to do all they can to find her and make Eduardo pay. Eduardo is more convinced than ever they will never find their mother.  Meanwhile, Rita is putting pressure on Eduardo to marry her after all she has done for him...  And that's where we pick up our scenes below, and of course, as always, a huge thank you to Dina for the translations!

Eduardo is in charge

(At the 00:53 mark, Eduardo goes to visit his mother after she has been moved to an abandoned building so his siblings can't find her.)

Eduardo: Good morning, Mom.

Laura: Why are you doing this to me?

Eduardo: Because you haven’t give me any other option, Mother.

Laura: (screams) Don’t call me mother. I'm not your mother. I hate you.

Eduardo: Wow, wow, you're so hard to please mother. You like nothing. You were in hospice, you didn’t like being in hospice. Now I bring you here but you apparently don’t like being here. You don't like me, you don't like anything. You like nothing.

Laura: You bastard, get me outta here. I'm getting out. I'm going to get out.

Eduardo: You're gonna get out, mom? How? Tell me.  Are my brothers and sisters going to get you out? No. .. I don't think so. Last night they even tried to pay a visit to the hospice, and they found nothing. Actually, it was a pity.

(Eduardo hands her a plate with bread on it.)

Eduardo: Go on, take the little bread there that is warm. Come on mom, do it, you need your strength...

(Laura cries.) 

Eduardo: Mom, if I were you, I would get used to the idea that will you not leave here anytime soon.

Laura: Where did I go wrong with you?

Eduardo: Where did you go wrong, Mom? Nowhere. Nowhere.

Laura: I must have done something wrong. Your siblings are nothing like you.

Eduardo: I'm in charge here. I decide when you eat, when you don't eat, if you eat, if you sleep, I'm even able to decide if you don't sleep. And listen, Mother, I'll decide if and when you get out of here. Get that into your head.

Laura: Where are you going Eduardo? Don’t leave me here... Don’t leave me here... Please... Take me with you... Son...

(Eduardo kisses her hands and leaves.)

Marry me!

Rita: So? Have you thought about what I told you?  (About them getting there marriage license today/getting married ASAP.)

Eduardo: Oh Rita...

Rita: Oh Rita, what?

Eduardo: Rita, I have a meeting today. I can’t miss it.

Rita: Oh yes, of course, a meeting ...

Eduardo: I'm serious, I'm not lying. Yes, I have a meeting. I'm not lying ... I told you, love, that we're getting married. But we don't need to schedule it today, do we?

Rita: We also don't need to go there together, do we? Just takes one of us. And I can easily stop by there...

(Eduardo hands a paper to Rita.)

Rita: What’s this?

Eduardo: It's the address where my mother is. I have this meeting ...

Rita: You are funny. You must think I'm still the maid, no?

Eduardo: (full of charm) Ohhh, my maid, I told you that we're getting married. We'll go there tomorrow. Tomorrow the two of us will go together to handle this. I promise.

Rita: You like me? You love me?

Eduardo: Yesss .... Sure.

"Sol de Inverno" - Episode 191 Translations

(As always, a huge thank you to Dina for the translations.)

Eduardo "mourns" Thais 

(Teresa and Simão talk in the office about the disappearance of their mother and the possible involvement of Eduardo. Meanwhile a police inspector comes to speak with Eduardo.)
Eduardo: Inspector, good afternoon.
Inspector: Good afternoon, how are you?
Eduardo: I'm fine, thank you. I have already told your colleagues everything that I know ...
Inspector: About your mother, we will speak later. But what brings me here, is another matter.
Eduardo: Sit down, please. Sit. Relax.
Inspector: Thank you very much.
Eduardo: What’s this about?
Inspector: Dr. Eduardo I've come to tell you about the death of Mrs. Thais Lima.
(Eduardo pretends to be surprised and disturbed.)
Inspector: The body was found in a parking lot. Everything indicates that the cause of death was being run over, but we will only confirm this after the autopsy.
Eduardo: My God ... and where was this?
Inspector: Not far from here.
Eduardo: You kn0ow I did not even know that Thais was in Portugal. She's wanted by the police, as you know. Killed all my family's horses, an incident with incalculable loss, and priceless grief.
Inspector: I thought you could help me. You lived together, she could have contacted you...
Eduardo: She could've, of course she could have. But no, no. I have not talked to her in months. Moreover, as I said, I was sure she was in Brazil or any other country. After all, as the inspector must know, she has an arrest warrant.
Inspector: Yes, I know. She had friends in Portugal?
Eduardo: Friends? Friends, no, no. I don’t know of any. In fact, she came from Brazil with me, here to Portugal. After that we set up a pharmaceutical business... So our contacts were all international.
(Eduardo begins to cry.)
Eduardo: Inspector, I apologize. Give me a second. I wasn’t expecting this.
Inspector: Feel free.
(Eduardo gets up and goes to get a glass of water.)
Inspector: Dr. Eduardo, for someone who treated you so badly, you seem to be very upset.
Eduardo: Inspector, please, it's the death of a person, is it not? Moreover a person I know ... She always was a complicated person, but ... Poor thing, things were not going the way she wanted, until it seems everything came to a head. But I am unable to wish someone dead. Even her, please ...
Inspector: Well, we will continue to investigate. If you remember something that is important, do not hesitate to contact me.
Eduardo: Sure, of course. Sure. Inspector, even if you can help me, I never met her family, anyway, all I know is that her family is poor, and I want, Inspector, I want to pay to transport Thais' body to Brazil. I want to do that.
Inspector: I will give orders accordingly.
Eduardo: Thank you very much, Inspector.
(Eduardo reaches his hand out to the inspector but he puts an envelope in Eduardo's hand.)
Inspector: Here is the notice to go to the police tomorrow to make statements about the disappearance of your mother.
Eduardo: Really, there is not two, but three.  When this is the case, it's one behind the other. Certainly, Inspector, I'll be there to say... well... everything that I know.
Inspector: Was a pleasure.
Eduardo: The pleasure was mine.

Eduardo is worried

(Eduardo and Rita talk in the bedroom.)
Eduardo: They are closing in on us, Rita.
Rita: Why? Do you think the inspector is still suspicious?
Eduardo: No, but ... I dunno ... someone might have seen us, someone could identify the car, someone ...
Rita: There is no way to associate us with the death of Thais, ok? We were at the cinema, the movie was great, there were no cameras in the parking lot, her cell phone was destroyed, the car has already been fixed, what more do you want? Thais is not a problem. Now your mother, yes, that is.
Eduardo: I have to about think what I will tell the police. I'll have to explore all options. And then there's another thing that is worrying me. Thais were very clear, she told me that if anything happened to her, that my siblings would find out that my mother was locked up.
Rita: But that's a lie. She just told you that because she was afraid something would happen to her.
Eduardo: Maybe??
Rita: Sure!
\Eduardo: If my siblings discover where my mother is hospitalized ...
Rita: Stop it. Stop with this conversation, okay? All of this is a lie. Nothing will happen, everything's okay. No one will know where your mother is. Okay?

Teresa's ultimatum to her brother

(Teresa, Vicente, Eduardo and Rita are in the living room)
Teresa: Eduardo, I would like to talk with you.
Eduardo: (sits) Very well ...
Teresa: If it can just be the two of us, in the library...
(They go to the library.)
Eduardo: First of all let me thank you. I already received the police’s notice. You should all be very happy.
Teresa: I did what I thought should be done.
Eduardo: This notion of justice would make Judas proud...
Teresa: I didn’t ask you to come here for us to argue, much less for me to be insulted. Want to hear what I have to tell you?
Eduardo: I'm all ears ...
Teresa: I need to know if mom is alive or not. Eduardo, please ...
Eduardo: I don’t know where mother is. I have no idea where mother is. How many times do I have to repeat myself, Teresa. 
Teresa: You do know, yes you know. Why else would you write emails in her name?
Eduardo: I have not written any emails.
Teresa: Don't deny it, Eduardo, I know perfectly well that you did it.  It was always you. Eduardo, please, I'm begging you. I swear to you... I'll withdraw the police complaint, I'll give you full power of the entire company, I'll agree with everything you want, but please tell me she's okay... tell me where she is... I'm your sister, please...
Eduardo: Teresa, I have no idea where our mother is. I wish I could help you, but I don’t know...
Teresa: Let me be clear that from this moment on there is no turning back, Eduardo. The police will go after you and will find out what you're doing, and I will not have any pity, or compassion. I'll not remember, even for a minute,  that you are my brother. Starting today you are a target to beat.
Eduardo: Teresa…
(Teresa leaves.)

Thais speaks from the grave

The siblings are all gathered at Salvador’s home, but Margarida left her phone at the house.  Eduardo is alone in the living room, having a drink, when a message pops up on Margarida's phone. He cannot resist reading the message.  It is a message from Thais to all his siblings, saying where Laura is being held.  Eduardo panics. He calls the doctor right away to say that he is on his way there as he leaves, running.

Diogo on "E-Especial" discussing "Legàmi"

SIC's "E-Especial" caught up with Diogo and his "Laços de Sangue" ("Blood Ties") co-stars Joana Santos and Diana Chaves in Rome while promoting the premiere of their series on the Italian television network RAI 1, where it will be called "Legàmi."  Our always incredible friend Dina was kind enough to translate this for us, found right below the video. 

Diogo on E-Especial discussing "Legàmi"

Sofia Tavares/Host (ST): Diogo Morgado, Diana Chaves and Joana Santos came to Rome to promote the premiere of "Legàmi," the Italian version of “Laços de Sangue.”

Diogo Morgado (DM): Welcome to Rome.

ST: Proud to have “Laços de Sangue” come to Italy in primetime? 

Joana Santos(JS): Certainly, and above all, of course the Emmy also helped, but the series, by itself, tells a good story. And people also want to see good stories. 

DM: One thing I was not expecting was seeing from RAI 1 their great enthusiasm at having the series. I did not know, but in Italy they are not in the habit of having telenovelas, especially in prime time.  And we hope that with this, Portuguese are not only convinced once and for all that we have the value we deserve, but also that this opens the door to thinking that all the products we make are not only just for us (Portuguese), but also as a product that can be exported, and that all of us can be proud of.

(Joana Santos and Diana Chaves applaud Diogo for his words.) 

.....

(Joana Santos, Diana Chaves and Diogo make fun singing one of the songs from the series.) 

......

DM: Rome is very beautiful. I didn't know... 

JS: (laughs) He's being serious... 

DM: No, really, it's true. Like the thing of the artists in the streets. In all the cities in Europe that have these things, I love it.

DC: We also got lucky.  The weather is fantastic. It's 8 pm and we are here like this ... it's so good...

DM: Yep.

JS: I really enjoyed doing this series. It was the first major role for me, which gave me so many things to explore... I miss it. 

DC: For me, I was kidnapped... she tried to kill me every day... killed my mother... killed my brother... I don't even remember... 

(At the "Trevi Fountain" Diogo partakes in a well known tradition...)

DM: (their wish) That RAI 1 will be the first of many TV stations to buy things we do in Portugal. Right? 

All: One, Two, Three....

(And they throw the coins into the fountain.)

"Sol de Inverno" - Episode 189 Translations

As a reminder, because of real life taking over, I am only posting a few scenes from some of the most recent episodes of "Sol de Inverno" to catch us all up, with my sincere apologies for the gap and delay in posting.  But this episode I am posting is a pivotal episode for "Eduardo."  But to recap the episodes we have missed:  Eduardo kicked Margarida out of the house and Teresa followed her out.... Rita convinced Eduardo to befriend Vicente to talk to him about convincing Teresa not to go to the police about Laura, who is still "missing".... Eduardo started receiving mysterious phone calls where no one said anything, and then he saw someone on the street he was certain was Thais.... and with that, below is episode 189 of "Sol de Inverno."   And as always, a huge thank you to Dina for the translations!

"Sol de Inverno" - Episodes 181 and 184 Translations

As a reminder, I am only posting a few scenes from some of the most recent episodes of "Sol de Inverno" to catch us all up.   As always, a huge thank you to Dina for the translations!

Six months later....

(6 months have now passed since the last episode. Teresa is waiting for Eduardo at the office.)

Teresa: I was thinking you'd never get here.

Eduardo: Was the traffic. What's going on? I don't remember having anything planned with you.

Teresa: Eduardo, I've made a decision. Mother has gone too long without giving us news. I'll talk with Detective Morais about going to look for her.

Eduardo: Teresa, that isn’t true, is it? Mother has sent emails.

Teresa: That's not enough. I need to hear her voice. I need her to call me.

Eduardo: I don’t understand... Mother didn’t want to be disturbed. I don’t understand why we must insist.

Teresa: I'm not saying she has to come back already. I just need her to assure me that she’s fine, that she's alive. And I can’t understand how you can be so calm... I mean, if I think like you, it's better that mother doesn’t return, right?

Eduardo: Teresa  look, now you're offending me, okay? Okay? I'm just respecting mother's decision, nothing more.

Teresa: You know you'd run for president in two days...

Eduardo: Teresa, there is nothing, nothing more important to me than the health and well-being of our mother. Much more important than any job here at the company.

Teresa: I doubt it. I doubt that's the case ... Anyway, I need to know she's okay. For six months there has not been a single activity on her bank account.

Eduardo: That's... that's weird, Teresa. That’s very strange, but I don’t know... maybe she has an account that we don’t know about, or she took money with her, whatever.

Teresa: No more excuses. I'll talk to Detective Morais whether you like it or not. I'll bring our mother back.

(She leaves and Eduardo is enraged. He makes a phone call to somebody.)

Eduardo: I need to talk to you as soon as possible. It's urgent.

Let's make a deal 

(Eduardo meets with Detective Morais.)

Morais: I confess that I was surprised when you called. I wasn’t expecting that.

Eduardo: Well ... I thank you in advance for coming. But actually I have a very important issue to discuss with you. Let me ask you, has my sister Teresa called you? 

Morais: I have not spoken with anyone in your family for months.

Eduardo: Yeah, but she will call you. She'll call. She knows that you worked for years for my mother, done several jobs for her, and she'll not only call, but she will try to hire you. And Detective Morais, what you will say is, that my mother is well ...

Morais: And why would I do that?

Eduardo: I was expecting that question. However, I am sure detective, that this (an envelope) answers all your questions.

(Morais sees that the envelope contains money)

Eduardo: Say something? Say nothing? Come on Detective, Can I trust you, and be rest assured?

Morais: Don’t worry.

Eduardo: I knew it. I knew I could trust you. Have a nice day. It's already paid for (their drinks).

"Hello?" 

(At the 1:03 mark, Eduardo is in his office and gets a call.  But no one says anything, he only hears breathing.  Eduardo is apprehensive and calls immediately to the clinic where his mother is hospitalized, to see if there is any news.  The doctor him all is well, that his mother is sedated and sleeping.)

Vicente has news

(Eduardo, Rita, Teresa and Vicente dine in silence. Rita calls the maid, Marisa, to bring her a chocolate cake for dessert.  When the maid doesn’t respond, Rita gets up and goes to get the cake herself.)

Eduardo: So Vicente tell us, how was today's work at the gym? Many fat women for you to scream at them to move?

Vicente: Actually the job is going quite well. I can't complain. And I have managed to build a career of my own right. I don't know if you know, Eduardo, but my parents don't own any gym...

Eduardo: No, I didn’t know…

Vicente: I don’t know if Teresa ever told you, but Andreia is also working there too.

Eduardo: But, which Andreia?

Vicente: That one.

Eduardo: You knew this, Teresa?

Teresa: Yes I knew. And I told Vicente for him to be careful and to not give trust her much.

Vicente: She doesn't seem such a bad person. At least so far I have no reason to complain.

Eduardo: Look I warn you as your friend, Vicente. Andreia is a viper..

Teresa: You've always had tremendous ability to pick women...

(Eduardo doesn't respond. Margarida arrives.)

Eduardo: Is it so hard to get to the table on time? We've already finished dinner...

Margarida: I was sending an email to mom. Must already be twenty I have sent her this week, and she doesn’t even answer me..

Eduardo: You still insist .....

Margarida: Shut up! Teresa, I think we should go talk to the police...

Eduardo: Mom is on vacation. It isn’t the police that will bring her back, is it?

Margarida: But who do you think you are kidding? We've already noticed that you don't want to know about mother. You are loving having power at Boheme.

Eduardo: But who told you that? I'm worried about mother ...

Margarida: Eduardo, you are not concerned aboutmother or anyone... More and more I wish you had died in Mexico (and she rises from the table).

Eduardo: You deserve a couple of slaps, you understand? Listen, you can’t talk to me like that, okay?

Teresa: You are in big trouble if you raise your hand...

Rita: But what's going on? Now that the cake is here, everyone gets up? I don’t understand.

Eduardo: (gets up too) I lost my appetite.

Rita: That's another one...

Vicente: I'll try a piece.
