Episode 2 — The Scout and the Dream 🌟

Scene 1: A Stranger at the Door — 1996 🏠

The Santos home is quiet until there’s a knock on the door. Madalena answers cautiously.

Madalena:

Who are you? What do you want? 😠

Rui:

Good afternoon, ma’am. My name is Rui, and I’m a scout from SC Braga. 🧍‍♂️⚽

I’ve come to talk about your son, Jose. He has incredible potential.

Madalena (protective):

Pablo, Teresa, Leonor — inside, now! 🛡️

The kids start moving, but Rui raises his hands in reassurance.

Rui:

No, ma’am. I mean no harm. I truly believe Jose has a bright future in football. 🙏

Madalena:

What are you doing here, then?

Rui:

I want to scout him for SC Braga’s youth academy.

Madalena hesitates, then calls out.

Madalena:

Pablo, go get Jose.

Pablo:

Okay, Mom. 🏃‍♂️

Scene 2: A Life-Changing Decision 🌟

Pablo returns with Jose, who looks both nervous and excited.

Madalena:

Jose, this man says he’s never seen anyone with your skills. He’s a scout from SC Braga.

Do you want to follow him?

Jose:

Mummy... I want to go. 😢

Madalena:

Okay. I can’t go against my son’s wish. Pablo, help Jose pack his things.

Pablo:

Alright, Mom.

Jose packs his bag as Teresa and Leonor watch silently.

Teresa:

You’re really leaving? 😔

Jose:

Yes.

Leonor:

Big brother, I’m going to miss you.

Jose:

Don’t worry, Leonor. One day, I’ll come back richer than ever. 💰

Leonor smiles through her tears.

Pablo (teasing):

Bro, stay safe. And don’t forget us.

Jose (laughing):

Thanks, big brother. I won’t.

Pablo:

Just go, asshole. 😅

Everyone laughs, and Jose hugs his family one last time before leaving with Rui.

Madalena (waving):

Bye, Jose. Take care.

Do you miss your mum already?

Yes. But I’m doing this for her. My dad left us when I was two — just two. I have two older siblings and one younger sister.

Jose starts to cry softly. 😢

I’m sorry for bringing back bad memories.

Jose:

It’s okay. I’m not upset. I just miss them already.

They arrive at the SC Braga Youth Academy.
