The Fall Page #2

- We wasted too much time talking.

Let's work! Who leaves, I'll discount

the day. We're wasting time!

I'm doing a survey on security

and work accidents.

Do you have authorization

for doing such a thing?

- Yes.

- Yeah?

- Recorder?

- Yep.

People see, nobody says.

I'll say. Turn it on.

People and sh*t are the same here.

What? Workers without helmet?

Yesterday, I almost slipped with my soap.

Both things are parallel.

A moment of distraction.

Ma'am, you have the right to pension.

Plus some funds. Not much, but

it's money the same way.

And the 13th salary, the Christmas bonus

according to the number of months worked.

And insurance for work accidents,

equal to ten minimum wages.

You said his license was unregistered.

So we must prove his association

with the construction company...

It's simple...

Pardon me. I bring my condolences

and CONCRISA's.

And I'd like to make an appointment

to settle everything down. Okay?

We have several witnesses, and

can make a fuss about his license.

About three minimum wages of fine

due to the unregistered license.

- How much does he have right to actually?

- A lot of money. Considering everything...

...it's a lot of money. And we can argue

about the company's social responsibility.

The carelessness about working conditions.

The minimum conditions required by law!

The cause of the death was the lack

of the belt. How old was he?

- 42.

- This means he'd work about 30 years more.

The amount for the pension is quite high.

About... $900,000. Yes, about that.

How did he die?

Falling from the beam.

- Do you work at construction?

- If I work at construction?

Didn't you always go there?

Well, I've found your address...

...on a piece of paper

inside the man's wallet.

Didn't know you worked with him.

I'll tell ya:
the way a guy leads

his life is usually the way he dies.

You're well off.

- I did everything after stopped serving.

- Yeah?

Not nice at all.

Like a bum... didn't want anything.

I've been watchman, truck

driver... car keeper...

Met a girl... a hooker. Well off...

But she wasn't into it...

But suddenly Zoe dies...

I find you...

- Sounds like a Western!

- Indeed!

It's moving.

- It was too close. You shouldn't...

- Shut up.

C'mon, you dog...

Boy, you seem to be in uniform!

Look, look! Just like me, brother.

I used this to go to war...

No restroom at home?

Your lady doesn't like

when you piss?

I like to be noisy while pissing...!

False alarm...

Long time no see...

I've always been your friend...

- Have some coffee.

- No, not at your place.

- Have some.

- Want me to be your habeas corpus...?

My place. Come over, f***.

Don't you accept?

Nothing like that... I know your wit.

Bring a drunk friend home to tell...

your wife you were drinking with him.

- Up yours! I'm inviting you over...

- Go on, sucker... go on...

- I'm inviting you over...

- Have some coffee.

- We'll talk.

So long, sucker.

We know it's dangerous.

But we don't expect our

husband to die there.

But they do.

Like them kids on the railway.

- What's this, Mario?

- Come.

Scumbag.

Scumbag.

Look at me.

Look at me. Look at me!

This press campaign must stop!

How? There's no possible

composition with BORBA FILHO.

Don't be naive. And there's

the suit against CONCRISA.

- We'll fix that.

- Soon, or I won't take charge.

- Deputy, you're not moving backwards?

- Everything was articulated right...

...but I can't involve nothing

to put the blame on me.

The problem is the trial.

And the competition.

Solving one, the other is done.

Right, deputy?

- Right.

- Then, the solution is simple.

- Just prove the worker wasn't ours.

- And his association with us?

Responsibility goes to one of our

sub-contractors, leaving us clean.

But who'll accept such responsibility?

- And the interviewee's father-in-law?

- What if he refuses?

- He can't. Besides, he'll only win.

- But we must stop the suit, otherwise...

He will.

...you can't see possibilities

to elevate a platform...

...making an operation of sorts.

Areas here and there...

I'm from Ceari! Live here for

twenty years. I'm servant.

I like it. I enjoy my life as a servant.

No, single.

Boy, it's rainy and cold.

That's what I had to say.

Without basis, the crack is immediate.

You have to use stakes everywhere.

I don't earn much. 3 bucks for hour.

Little money. No way to live.

- When we'll finish this?

- On schedule.

...hot-headed. I'll talk to him.

He spoke to the journalist...

- But you know them...

- This is against the company.

Not much to talk... We don't

have much to talk about life...

Our life is... can't even

say anything.

I'm from Ceari.

- How long here?

- Seven years.

- Wanna go back?

- Oh, we never forget...

...we never forget home.

If anyone does... I think it's impossible.

Cover those wooden columns with concrete.

- That one.

- So that's the one.

This whole area. $7000.

The company men spoke to me,

to leave Zoe's payment paper with me.

The company has over a thousand

workers, I have sixty, eighty.

- It'll be easier for him. - But a man

wanted to give the widow $10,000...

- $10,000 fine. - No, I don't believe

it. But she'll get what she deserves.

Nice here, huh? These guys

know how to live, huh?

Say what you will, but these

guys know how to live indeed!

Mario, who'd guessed I,

straight from the country...

would have my own penthouse?

Who?

Mario! Working, you get well off!

Did some jobs for CONCRISA,

and this is what I get.

But I don't want if for me. This is yours.

My grandchild's, my daughter's.

Look around. Never so many buildings

as now. For those who work with it...

like us, it's the right time. But don't

think about your friends, etc.

- Think about now.

- But the widow...?

The widow will get by.

We've gotta think today.

And today we're here. This

is mine. C'mon. Right?

Come here, I'll ask you something.

You'll ask the widow to discharge

the complaint against CONCRISA.

- What you mean? - The juridical dpt.

of the company will arrange things.

- Who guarantees?

- I do.

- I do, right? - You do?

- Well, don't you trust me anymore?

I'm your father-in-law, remember?

I guarantee she'll receive

everything she deserves.

Trust me!

I don't know...

What do you think, Mario?

I think that's the best thing to do...

The situation is more or less like this:

We both studied the case together, and...

...we've come to an agreement. Considering

the circumstances, we think the best thing is...

...we come to conciliation, so we don't

waste time with polemics, etc.

We must be realistic. Realistic! If we can

continue this legal action, we could get...

more money, but the time it takes!

The time! That's the problem.

This could take years, two,

three, four. Who knows?

The best thing is to find conciliation.

So in three or four weeks,

you'll have the money.

Three, four...?

Weeks... So we could have an advance?

Just sign the papers and I'm authorized
