I'll send you to my personal attorney.
:04:05
But before you see him, I urge you
to find your boundary stones.

:04:13
Check them against
your grants and titles.

:04:16
Verify your boundaries. Facts. Facts!
:04:22
Now, my children, I have
many other matters to attend to.

:04:27
I've been your president for 34 years.
It's not an easy job being president.

:04:34
GROUP: Thank you, my president.
:04:36
- Thank you.
- Thank you, my president.

:04:38
What's next?
:04:43
We can't verify the boundaries,
my president.

:04:47
The land is fenced and guarded.
:04:49
They're planting sugar cane
in our cornfields.

:04:53
- The courts...
- With your permission...

:04:57
The courts?
:05:00
Do you know of any land suit
that was ever won by country people?

:05:05
Has your land been taken?
:05:08
My father's land was taken long ago,
my president.

:05:13
My children, I'm your father,
your protector. I'm of your blood.

:05:18
But believe me, these matters
take time. You must be patient.

:05:23
With your permission. We make
our tortillas out of corn, not patience.

:05:30
And patience will not cross
an armed and guarded fence.

:05:34
To do as you suggest,
to verify those boundaries...

:05:39
...we need your authority.
:05:42
I cannot possibly exercise
such authority.

:05:45
- But you advise it.
- I can only advise.

:05:53
Then naturally, my president,
we will do as you advise.

:05:59
Thank you. With your permission.
