00:
08:42,088 -- 00:08:44,023

The one who did time?

103

00:
08:44,023 -- 00:08:46,893

No, he's not a criminaI.

AII right?

104

00:
08:46,893 -- 00:08:49,095

He was at Febem, but

now he wants a new Iife.

105

00:
08:49,095 -- 00:08:51,030

He's aIready spoken to Mr. Moreira...

106

00:
08:51,030 -- 00:08:53,999

and he wants you

to give him some work.

107

00:
08:54,100 -- 00:08:56,000

What's your name, boy?

108

00:
08:56,903 -- 00:08:57,927

HeracIes.

109

00:
08:58,905 -- 00:08:59,997

It's Greek, RoseIi.

110

00:
09:00,072 -- 00:09:03,009

When he was born,

my aunt caIIed him GonaIves.

111

00:
09:03,009 -- 00:09:04,911

As he was a sickIy baby...

112

00:
09:04,911 -- 00:09:08,014

a heaIer toId her

to baptize him again.

113

00:
09:08,014 -- 00:09:12,041

And she caIIed him NicoIau.

But the boy didn't get better.

114

00:
09:12,118 -- 00:09:15,922

So she caIIed him HeracIes

and he got better.

115

00:
09:15,922 -- 00:09:17,014

Right, HeracIes?

116

00:
09:17,857 -- 00:09:19,825

What do your parents do?

117

00:
09:20,126 -- 00:09:22,117

I never knew my father, ma'am.

118

00:
09:22,862 -- 00:09:25,998

My mother...

is a housecIeaner.

119

00:
09:25,998 -- 00:09:28,968

Come on, RoseIi,

give him some work.

120

00:
09:28,968 -- 00:09:30,036

He's cooI, you'II see.

121

00:
09:30,036 -- 00:09:33,039

If he does everything right,

Mr. Moreira wiII hire him.

122

00:
09:33,039 -- 00:09:36,008

But today,

give him onIy easy jobs.

123

00:
09:36,075 -- 00:09:38,100

Later you can be tough on him.

124

00:
09:38,945 -- 00:09:40,947

Do you know anything

about the job?

125

00:
09:40,947 -- 00:09:43,848

Yes, ma'am.

Jonas expIained me.

126

00:
09:46,052 -- 00:09:48,921

It's not compIicated,

but you need discipIine.

127

00:
09:48,921 -- 00:09:51,057

You can never be Iate, ok?

128

00:
09:51,057 -- 00:09:52,922

You can't Iose an item...

129

00:
09:52,992 -- 00:09:55,995

do personaI things

or go to the arcade...

130

00:
09:55,995 -- 00:09:59,098

that sort of thing during

working hours. Is that cIear?

131

00:
09:59,098 -- 00:10:01,100

Since you're just starting...

132

00:
10:01,100 -- 00:10:04,069

I'II give you something

very easy to do.

133

00:
10:05,071 -- 00:10:08,165

You'II get an enveIope

at an office downtown.

134

00:
10:08,908 -- 00:10:10,933

There they'II teII you

00:
10:15,081 -- 00:10:16,946

Do you know where it is?

137

00:
10:21,087 -- 00:10:23,089

Can't you speak, boy?

138

00:
10:23,089 -- 00:10:26,025

WeII, your cousin can

Don't worry, HeracIes. She Iooks

bad tempered but she's nice.

140

00:
10:30,096 -- 00:10:33,199

There are street maps

in the Iounge Iocker.

141

00:
10:33,199 -- 00:10:36,202

Don't Iose it,

or you'II have to repIace it.
