Killer Ratings : The Son (2019)


Made for Netflix , airing on instant streaming May 31st in the US.
Season 1. Episode 4.
The story: After the July 2008 murder of known drug dealer Bebetinho , the Task Force work hard to gather a case against Wallace.
By April of 2009, Raphael has been arrested on drug trafficking and illegal ammunition charges.
The Task Force found a list inside the Souza home of deceased drug dealers along with another made up of many illegal weapons which Moa had already confirmed.
Raphael claims the ammo and spent shell casings are from sport.
The lists, on the other hand, tell a different story.
Wallace's hands are tied when it comes to going public to defend himself along with his son so he goes before his fellow representatives and makes many speeches in their defense instead.
Meanwhile, Wallace's 'Canal Rivre' security guards are arrested on drug trafficking, ammunition, and weapons charges.
Jail isn't a safe place for any affiliated with Wallace to be , seeing how he was responsible for many prior arrests.
The Task Force recruits a new investigative detective who figures out how Raphael knew Bebetinho and what happened to him.
The money found inside the safe at Wallace's home he claims he saved due to not having any health insurance and an undying illness that he may need help coping with.
But the money is checked and found to be illegal.
He also claims that the list of drug dealers was given to him to report on 'Canal Livre'.
Wallace is no longer on air with 'Canal Livre' , making it that much more difficult to get any word out to the public.
Confident he will not be impeached and has immunity due to his representative status, Wallace concentrates on clearing his family name and believes he is being politically prosecuted which is the only way to take him down.
Frankezinho of the 40th, a cruel drug dealer who is said to be responsible for a key witnesses death is found and arrested.
At first, he claims he has nothing to do with Wallace or Raphael, that he only knows them from seeing them on 'Canal Livre'.
Later on though he makes the statement that Wallace made him pay to keep his capture off of 'Canal Livre'.
Later still he states that his confession was coerced due to being tortured by Secretary of Intelligence, Thomas Vasconcelos.
But there is even later proof that is not the truth.
