They need it for their
machetes and things.
:57:07
They used to come at night
to steal parts.
:57:10
So I thought. . .
:57:13
. . .it was better to sell than
to have things stolen at night.
:57:20
I had to do it. I was left alone
and deserted on this post.
:57:24
I thought you'd been sent home
like everybody else.
:57:29
Let me show you outside.
:57:31
The tracks reach 200 meters
deep into the jungle.
:57:38
Come with me. I made an
invention to scare off the lndians.
:57:42
They've become more cautious.
I do the same thing with the snakes.
:57:45
I connect an electric line to the tracks.
:57:49
The lndians get their fingers singed.
They won't touch them again.
:57:56
I chase the snakes onto the rails
with a stick.
:58:01
On the first rail they get fried,
on the second they turn to ash.
:58:07
Every year, I cut back the bushes. . .
:58:10
When will you resume construction?
:58:14
The thing is. . . we've come here
on a different project.
:58:20
Our whole financial situation will
change overnight, if it works.
:58:26
What I'm trying to say is. . .
:58:30
. . .we need the tracks
for another purpose.
:58:44
No, not those from under the engine,
not those. . .
