He got used to little
bread and a lot of sweat.

1:45:06
In the drought, he'd eat plants...
1:45:10
and drank cactus water.
1:45:14
He starved.
1:45:18
When he couldn't bear it,
he prayed.

1:45:22
When prayers were no good,
he'd join the migrants...

1:45:28
who headed to the coast
in search of survival.

1:45:31
He was humiliated.
1:45:34
Defeated.
1:45:37
Homesick.
1:45:41
Whenever he heard news of rain,
he would go back...

1:45:47
in hopes again...
1:45:49
as if hope was a plant
that grows in the rain.

1:45:55
At the very sight of his
hometown, he felt grateful...

1:45:59
for being a poor...
1:46:01
dry land man,
but a brave and a believer.

1:46:07
I ask you, simply,
do not condemn him.

1:46:12
It's a hard decision.
1:46:15
I realize what he's been through,
but there's a limit.

1:46:21
I am afraid I can't save him.
1:46:25
Then, give him another
chance, my son.

1:46:30
- How?
- Let Jack go back.

1:46:34
- Would that make you happy?
- Plenty!

1:46:38
It's even better! I'll be more
careful and, next time I die...

1:46:42
I'll skip purgatory,
to baffle the devil!

1:46:45
- So, are you pleased, Jack?
- I am...

1:46:49
but this son of an incubator
will be mad!
