:36:02
It began one night...
:36:05
when Abel asked me to go to a village
to buy a chicken to make a snack.
:36:10
Something to break the monotony
of those nights in Mozambique...
:36:14
Captain!
:36:16
Let me use the jeep
to go to the village
:36:20
and get a chicken
for tomorrow's lunch.
:36:23
I'll take Matateu, he knows the way.
:36:25
F-finish the game f-first, man!
:36:28
Come on then.
:36:30
Beto can play for me.
:36:31
Beto, come and finish them off!
:36:36
We never saw him again.
:36:38
Matateu, let's go.
:36:40
The village was only
a few kilometres from the camp
:36:43
and there was no news of any
guerrilla activity in the area.
:36:49
I got it. He was being skinned alive,
that's why he thought of a chicken!
:36:55
We waited all night for him,
:37:00
but he never came back.
:37:03
At dawn the next day,
:37:06
the others went looking for him,
but they feared the worst...
:37:11
Do you mind if I smoke?
:37:13
Be my guest.
:37:17
In the village, no one had seen him...
:37:20
They spent all day looking
for the jeep, but to no avail.
:37:23
Late in the afternoon,
:37:26
in a clearing, in the opposite
direction from the village,
:37:30
they found the remains of the jeep.
:37:34
Why was the jeep there,
so far from the village?
:37:38
They were puzzled.
:37:41
It looked like Abel and Matateu
had been ambushed
:37:47
so they approached carefully.
:37:50
Beside the jeep,
they found one body,
:37:55
burned beyond recognition.
:37:58
But they never believed it was Abel.
