The Fall Page #2

Synopsis: At a Los Angeles hospital in the 1920s, Alexandria is a child recovering from a broken arm. She befriends Roy Walker, a movie stunt man with legs paralyzed after a fall. At her request, Roy tells her an elaborate story about six men of widely varied backgrounds who are on a quest to kill a corrupt provincial governor. Between chapters of the story, Roy inveigles Alexandria to scout the hospital's pharmacy for morphine. As Roy's fantastic tale nears its end, Death seems close at hand.

- No!

- Can't laugh, can't talk...

- Shut your mouth!

- Brave one, huh?

- Will you stop it?

What ya want? The man's dead.

- Manuel.

- So what? Many deaths are left unnoticed.

- How many did you kill?

- Many. But now I'm a truck driver.

- Let him be, he's a drunk.

- Aren't we all?

Policemen, truck drivers... all drunks!

Or does the police forbid drinking too?

- Come one, let's stop drinking!

- It's useless!

If I want to drink, I drink!

Don't nag me.

Let him drink.

Won't laugh, won't talk, just drink.

- Do you know Mario for long?

- Yeah.

- Did you serve together?

- Yes.

- Quite a fella?

- Yeah.

Gee.

How he crushed!

Gee.

Stupidity, Mario.

Stupid, stupid...

No-one could assist? Something?

All stupid. Stupid thing, my gosh.

- What, Mario?

- Stop smoking in bed.

Mario.

I'd like to talk.

Gosh. F***!

The administration is getting mad.

Shouldn't let the guy come in.

What matter will it have?

You're asking? Those news

guys are troublemakers.

He won't find out what

others don't already know.

Even if he does, do you think

he'll say what he pleases?

Maybe CONCRISA is acting rightly.

Anyway, worker's death is nothing new.

I'm still against those reporters

in here, they make things up.

No-one will leave for no funeral.

Who does, I'll discount today.

All right, discount if you want to,

but not the full day.

Three hours is all they need,

without losing the right for food.

Okay, Mario. But I have 15 days to

deliver all this. 15 days!

Can't think about no funeral.

I have to work to deliver this.

- They'll lose the right for food!

- 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.
