The Fall Page #3

by the company to solve this at once.

- It's best to do so, I think.

- I agree... Alright, doctor.

Mario! How are you?

Take in the beers I've brought!

- They're friends working with me.

- I know.

- Get the beer at the van!

- Give us some help, will ya?

You've brought the beer quickly, huh?

- Here it's lacking materials.

- No, we're short of time.

In a couple of months, I'll have

a bedroom and the kitchen ready.

I'll get three sand trucks to you...

And some fifty sacks of cement.

With all that, you can finish this.

- How was it yesterday?

- Well. - Yeah?

- Do you think it'll work out?

- It will! I tell you so.

The lawyer said you were great.

That's what you gotta do, I tell ya.

Everything will be fine.

Well done, boy! Well done.

- Let's eat!

- Want some beer?

- Beer, Mario?

- I'll have it.

The lawyers asked him to solve

something, and he's doing so.

- For our good.

- But what is it?

Some problem, and the lawyer

asked me to talk to him.

- Which problem?

- Don't meddle!

We're both solving this

with the company.

But I just asked what it was.

I don't think it's the time

to talk about it. Let's eat!

Let's drink! Let's have a party.

Not talk about this. I'll explain it.

I just asked, never mind it...

I wanted to know what happened.

- I told you so, it's not the time.

- That's not an answer.

- Stop talking to me

in that tone.

- You're saying I have

nothing to do with it.

If it's a problem for my

husband, it's mine too.

- Who owns this house?

- This house is ours, I mean...

Something so irrelevant! I just

asked, I have the right to an answer!

It's our problem, I have

the right to know, don't I?

- Laura, don't get upset...

- No, who's getting upset?!

I just want an answer!

- There's no answer!

What you mean

there's no answer, dad?!

Do you think I'm a child?!

A "retard"?! I'm not!

I demand an answer!

I'm not like my mother!

- You'll never be!

The whole time, you're

always deciding everything!

What to do, which school

the kid will go to, everything!

How to live, how not to live,

everything you decide!

God damn it!

Want some beer?

I'm calm, I'm calm. But,

dad, I've made a question...

...and demand an answer.

It's so simple. What was it?

What was it?!

I demand you to tell me!

- What's going on?

- That problem with Zoe's death...

Mario meddled with it, giving some

interviews, troubling the bosses.

They talked to me and asked me

to fire him. I asked them...

Yeah, fire you! I told you

yesterday, you don't remember.

I told them Marios my responsibility.

I talked to him, right?

And he asked the widow to

discharge the complaint. That's that!

That's what I have to tell you,

what you want to know.

The widow will disgorge the complaint.

Everything will be okay for us...

...the company, you, my grandson,

everybody. That's it. Okay?

You're an Almighty! Solved

all of the world's problems.

All of it!

We'll talk about it at home, Laura.

The people...

- What do I care about the people?!

If they don't wanna listen, go! F***!

I'm talking about a serious issue, Mario...

...and you just do what Salatiel asks!

You're a piece of sh*t.

Did you know that?

All he tells you, you do. Even

if it's about us. Everything!

Even where to place a window!

It's always you, you, you, you! Sh*t.

Sh*t. Could decide

something by yourself.

I don't give a damn for this house.

I don't give a f***.

I want to have my own life...

Come and eat, come.

Let's eat everyone,

he's telling us so.

What's that? Chicken?

That's it, dad?

Wanna beer, Mario?

I've been thinking...

Those classes you gave me...

...you should give this week again.

They changed Zoe's report.

He was "run over. "

- Changed? What ya mean?

- He was run over...

- Medical report?

- Yeah.

- Replaced the accident by running over.

- Zoe died there. It's a lie!

- I know!

- Toinho, come here.

- How did Zoe die?

- He was soldering, when he fell...

...in the mud.

- I know, Mario. I trust you...

...and everyone there. But what

matters is the paper. It says...

...he was run over. It's great for us.

- Great?! And the widow?

The widow... Well, it was denounced

in the news that there was bribe...

...'cause he had an accident

and now it's said he was run over.

Why are you pressuring me for?

I'm asking something from the

start and you don't answer.

- I'm the one who should ask questions!

- What's this now?

Then tell me!

- What ya wanna know? Tell me!

Am I afraid to answer you?

I'm not afraid of you!

- Can I ask?

- Ask!

- Did you know about the running over?

- Yes!

They called me, asked to agree with it,

and I did so. This will make them win...

...the competition and I get all that

paving contract job. I'll be rich!

No matter the bullshit you think

about me, and what you have in mind.

I don't care!

- I'm not asking satisfaction...

This makes me laugh.

I'll tell you something:

I always esteemed you, but...

you're a son of a b*tch.

- Shut up!

I'm surprised you eat and sleep

in the house of a son of a b*tch...

I work for you. - This house is mine!

- You exploited a lot, but not anymore.

Leonel's asleep, mind you!

Laura, you're watching all this.

Aren't you?

- Keep your voice down.

Keep my voice down?

Sorry for your job, too!

Make me some coffee, will ya?

- Did they come here?

- Yes.

- Did you sign anything?

- They brought some money.

- How much?

- $10,000.

Doesn't matter. Tomorrow morning,

I'll get testimony of who saw him dying...

...'cause he wasn't run over!

- I don't care.

- We'll prove it's a lie...

- I don't wanna know.

- We'll start it all again.

- You can't, Mario.

- You have right to a lot!

- But I'm tired of all this!

Each one tells me something different,

I don't want it anymore.

- It's not just!

- They've come, fooled me...

...each one says something different,

even you! So much you asked me to do.

Sign here, I'd do. Don't sign, I wouldn't.

I'm tired and trust no-one anymore.

I'll take my kids and leave.

I'm sorry, Lindalva...

- Mario, I can't let you in.

- Why? - Orders.

- What you mean? We see each other...

- I know, but you're fired. The man said.

- Which man? I'll talk to...

- You can't.

- Let me in!

- Don't make me use force.

Each in his place...

Out of the way, the flour isn't yours.

Shoot the smart ones.

They could get the food.

Check the load.

Hello? Yes, send him in.

You're Salatiel's son-in-law?

I'm here to talk about the worker's

death. He wasn't run over.

- Will you have a seat?

- The indemnity...

...will you pay or not?

- That's with the judicial dept.

I can pass a check.

- I want a declaration stating...

...the accident was at the site,

and you'll pay till the end.

- Will you dictate?

- You know what should be written.

Is that good?

What I'd like to know is how

did you get this paper?

How did you get this signature?

- What does it matter?

Everything. I can't give this to

a judge. He'll ask the same thing I did.
