Chapter 05: Painting

**Chapter 05: Painting** is the fifth episode of Season Four. It is preceded by Chapter 04: Submarine and is followed by Chapter 06: Buttons.

## Plot

As panic sweeps through the Offshore, Marcela scrambles to restore order, and Marco discovers his mother isn't the only family member on the island.

## Summary

Marcela wakes up after the pulse. People around her are panicked. She tries to use her ring, but it doesn't work.

In the control room, Verônica tries fruitlessly to contact Marcela. Verônica says what they've done it unforgivable, but Joana rebuffs that, clarifying that forgiveness from them was worthless, just as the group wouldn’t forgive the Offshore for their betrayal. They're all chained together and led out of the room.

André realizes nothing's working. Ariel comes to get him for the next test. He tells her to do the cubes. She tells him they lost all communication with the Offshore, but he says everything's fine.

Marcela tries to calm people down. She tells them the Offshore was attacked by terrorists because of André and the Council. Nervously, she tries to tell them that they should’t worry over the explosion, claiming it insignificant and incapable of destroying their supreme society, because they're the elite.

**Year of the 86th Process**

Young Marcela arrives at the Offshore after completing her Process. She receives a letter and goes to meet a man. She got lost on the way, so she's late. The man is her father and she hugs him. They sit down to eat and catch up. She tells him about her first day in the Offshore. He asks if she's thought about what she wants to do. She wants to be a painter, but he says that's not important enough for an Álvares. She disappoints him, so he tells her to leave until she's learned how to be a proper member of their family.

Marcela learns of a fire and a radiation leak. She goes to Nair and tells her they can't save the Offshore. Nair is more worried about the people there. They can't keep people safe from the radiation. Soon it will reach everyone. Marcela points out that she was only gone a few months and they threw away over 100 years of progress. Nair corrects her that André, the man she pardoned and took under her supervision, took over the Council, while she was imprisoned, because, against the Council’s orders, she provoked the Shell to attack them, implying that Marcela too was responsible and the event was out of the Council’s hand. But despite that, Nair understands that things were going wrong before, since Ezequils time. Nair blames herself and the Council for all the atrocities that were committed. They only have a week, maybe two. Then the radiation will be lethal. They need to evacuate. Marcela says it wasn't just Nair fault. She never should have tried to negotiate with the Shell, but she should have entered shooting and destroyed it when she had the chance long ago.

The Shell group is amused as they're led through the forest. What happens to them doesn't matter because they accomplished their goal. They'd love to see André or Marcela's face.

**Weeks Ago**

Marco brings Marcela food. They talk about her only meeting her father in the Offshore. She refuses to tell Marco if her father is still alive.

Marco throws himself to the ground. The guards tell him to get up, but he says he can't. Verônica tells the guards to release him and stay behind him. They have to help him stand. He gets the guard in a choke hold, then releases him and takes off into the forest. Verônica tells the guard not to go after him because he won't survive by himself.

The candidates all assemble cubes. Pedro and Xavier are finished, but the others aren't. Two more finish before time runs out. An agent doesn't come in to check, confusing them. Xavier leaves the room and calls out for someone.

André insists that the Process will continue.

The candidates think this is another test. Xavier hears talk of an attack on the Offshore. Xavier pretends to be upset like the others.

Ariel runs in to Glória, who tells her the Offshore is destroyed.

Marco limps through the forest.

Leonardo arrives home to find Marcela's painting of herself and Marco on the wall and Marco waiting with a gun. Leonardo knows who he is. Leonardo thinks this shutdown is temporary, but Marco says it's permanent. Marco is there to kill him and aims the gun at him. Leonardo isn't worried. They end up cooking in the kitchen together. There's a knife and Leonardo pushes it toward Marco, who takes it. He uses it to cut vegetables, which he adds to the pan of hot oil.

Ariel, Denise, and Glória discuss what has happened. They want to send a submarine to the Offshore. Ariel wants to tell André first, but Denise thinks he knows and didn't tell them. Ariel sends three submarines.

The Shell group sees the Offshore residents panicking. Then they see smoke nearby and learn there's a radiation leak. They realize the pulse damaged the plant. The Offshore residents race for the submarines.

Young Marcela paints. She looks at the painting of her and Marco and covers it. She goes to see Leonardo, who is now proud of her position. It could lead to her being Process Leader. He notices paint on her hands and shows him a recent painting.

Marcela goes to Leonardo's and finds him eating with Marco. Leonardo tells her to sit down. Marco serves her a plate of food. Marcela tells Leonardo they need to leave because of the radiation. Marco toasts to the end of the Álvareses. Without the Offshore, there's not point to them. Now Mauricio is free. Leonardo knows what Marco did during his Process and doesn't approve. Leonardo knows he didn't pass his Process, he almost died, but he didn't give up. He felt the Offshore was his birthright. Marcela tells Leonardo again that they need to leave, but he refuses to go to the Inland. Marco also refuses to leave with her. He believes his children are better off without him. It's better if they don't know him, so he can protect them from a family with no love, just obligations. Marco tries to get her to stay, but she refuses. She tries to take him at gunpoint, but that also doesn't work.

Submarines carry the Offshore residents away, leaving it desolate. The few who remain go about their days.

Nair is sitting in the Council building, accepting her fate and preparing to face the consequences of her Council’s failure, knowing that it was her faith in Ezequiel that made way for all this destruction in the first place.

Leonardo is cleaning up the table where he had his first, last and only lunch with his daughter and grandson.

Marco remembers his interview, where he thinks he'll be happy and safe in the Offshore. He cries on the beach, understanding how foolish and naïve he was in the past. He starts to cough up blood and then falls to the ground and laughs as he dies with the legacy of the Álvareses finally ending.
