If it were up there, could you use it?

We could boom-load a

little at a time. Yes.

How you gonna get it there?

That's not your problem.

We'll get it there.

What do you think?

The major problem is the vibration.

This thing is like an egg beater.

No matter how we shock-mount something,

it will have a severe lateral vibration.

I thought maybe you could

swing-load it on a pallet.

Twenty feet down there's no vibration,

but the problem is turbulence.

We might move it half a

mile that way but not 200.

We've never had a flight here

without some turbulence in it.

What are you saying?

Not with a chopper. There's no way.

I'll double the amount

if you can think of a way.

It's not the money. Nobody's gonna

get into a chopper with that sh*t.

You need a suicide jockey.

We now need experienced truck drivers..

men who are willing to do a dangerous job.

This job must be done..

before we can reopen our gates and

bring back full employment to you people.

The men who qualify will

receive exceptional wages.

Only experienced truck drivers

willing to risk their life can do it.

No one else should apply.

The company will pay

8,000 pesos to each driver.

Wait a minute!

Silencio, por favor!

Four men with enough guts..

can save Poza Rica and your village!

Stop at the bottom of the hill.

I need to know the machine.

Pull over.

You crazy bastard!

Teamster?

Greyhound.

Vamos.

Serrano.

Dominguez.

Marquez.

Martinez. Pueden quedarse.

Los demas, pueden irse.

We're carrying three cases each.

One is enough to blow your fire. Six

cases will blow out the whole field.

You don't think all the trucks

will make it. One of us is a backup.

We want double, and legal

residence, or we don't drive.

You leave in four hours.

Only one machete?

How many would you like?

Have to put half the jungle underneath

our wheels to get through the mud.

How many machetes you want us to carry?

Should be two.

Condensers. Points.

Floats. Filters.

Tape. Wire. Channel locks.

Rags.

Where's the rest of

this cable? In the car.

Where the hell is the German?

Toque el claxon.

Que quiere?

Tengo algo para el seor Serrano.

She's got something for you.

Para su buena suerte, seor Serrano.

What is it?

Toque el claxon otra vez.

Marquez!

Marquez!

Murderer! Zionist! I'll kill you!

What happened? What happened?

This Jew dog cut his throat!

Vete a avisar a la policia. No police.

Vete a la policia.

Hold it! We lost a driver.

We need another one.

When the money's up, I'm

as good as any of you.

Where you from?

Listen, Pancho, I've been clocking you

every second that you got into this town.

If you pick your nose in this

truck, clear it with me first..
