- 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?
