Producer: "Gustavo, welcome back to Brazil! We can't wait to get started."
Gustavo: "Thank you! I'm really excited to work on this project. Let's go to the team meeting."
Gustavo meets with Globo's directors in a conference room. They discuss what they're looking for in the series.

Gustavo: "I see. So, we're talking about creating an accurate representation of the tactical operations and the daily lives of the teams. What do you have in mind to ensure that?"
Globo's director: "We need someone who understands BOPE's operations and can guide the cast and crew to ensure accuracy. And you, with your experience, would be perfect for this."
Gustavo is taken to the location where the cast is gathered. He is introduced to them and given a brief introduction.
Gustavo: "Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm excited to work with you and help bring authenticity to the series. We're going to have a lot of conversations about what it really means to be a part of BOPE."

Gustavo: "You're here! It's great to see you again. It's been a while, huh?"
Consultant 1: "Gustavo, it's been a while! It's great to see you. I'm excited to work with you once again."
Consultant 2: "Finally back together! I'm sure we'll do an amazing job."

The cast and consultants greet each other and begin a discussion about expectations and what will be required to authentically represent BOPE operations.
Gustavo gathers everyone together to present his ideas for the series.
Gustavo: "The goal is for the series to show not only tactical operations, but also the daily lives of BOPE operators. We want to portray the sacrifice, teamwork, and emotional complexity involved. We will work on the details to ensure that each scene is accurate and authentic."
The consultants and cast listen attentively and begin discussing how to implement these ideas into training and production.
After the meeting, Gustavo and the consultants begin training the cast. They go through practical exercises and simulated operations, emphasizing the importance of accuracy and authenticity.
Gustavo: "We will start with the basics: combat tactics and teamwork. Each of you needs to understand what it means to be in BOPE, and that starts with practice."
The training is intense, but the cast is motivated and committed to learning as much as possible.
After the first day of training, Gustavo reflects on the progress made and the work that still lies ahead.
Gustavo (thinking): "We are on the right track. The team is dedicated, and everyone is committed to doing justice to the representation of BOPE. I can't wait to see the final result."
