Ariane, be ready.
Do it quick or it'll drag on.

Gentlemen.

As you leave the bus,

please take a copy of the contract.

Understood?

Stéphane, this is Ariane,
our coordinator for the Guatemalans.

- You know each other?
- She's my buddy Pat's girlfriend.

I heard about the trial,
I'm really sorry.

Is he okay? Holding on?

I wouldn't know,
we're not together anymore.

- Sorry, I didn't know.
- That's okay.

So you moved back here?

I'm at my mom's place,
on the river.

Right, Nicole.
So that's who recommended her?

Yeah, she said Ariane spoke Spanish
and lived close to the plant.

- You ever worked in a plant?
- Never. But my mom did.

And I helped Pat with
his construction workers.

It'll be fine. It's our first time
with Guats too.

We'll be there for training.
You'll pick it up.

The bulk of the job
is just translation.

As long as you speak
the language, any fool can do that.

- Excuse me.
- There's a question here.

He doesn't read very well.

He's asking about this amount here.

R-F-U?

- What's he saying?
- He's asking what's RFU?

For union dues.
Richelieu Foods Union.

Those are union dues.

What?

But the contract says
we're not allowed to join the union.

We still have to pay dues?

They aren't allowed in the union
but they have to pay dues?

Yeah, I know.
That's the way it is.

That's the way it is.

We pay $300 rent,
we pay taxes,

and now we have to pay
for something we don't get?

What's he saying?

At the farm I was at before,
they didn't take so much.

He doesn't want
to pay the dues.

Dues?

The union dues,
seeing as they aren't part of it.

Good luck
getting that by Robin.

Can't we modify his contract?

No, we have to charge dues,
it's the law.

Tell him if he doesn't
want to sign, that's fine.

I've got guys
lining up for his job.

He says if you don't like it,
you can go back home.

Sorry.

You're okay with this?

It is what it is.

Mom, leave them alone.

It's not worth the effort.
I'll be gone soon.

You sure?

You can't live
out of boxes all summer.

I'll take care of it.
They won't be in your way.

So, how'd it go?

Not bad.

You didn't say Stéphane Cournoyer
was the plant manager.

You know him?

Yeah, he was in Pat's gang.

Remember, I snitched on him
when he bullied Martine's girls.

Doesn't ring a bell.
Is it a problem?

No.

It's just weird
to come back here and see

that the bullies from school
have become plant bosses.

I'm beat.
I'll tidy up tomorrow.

- Ariane.
- What?

Pat called from jail.

I told him off.

I don't want to talk to him.

Don't you think I know that?

Hurry up! I'm gonna
piss out of my mouth!

Calm down.

Each in turn.

But he's been in there
over 15 minutes!

Don't get pushy with me,
you'll regret it!

Yeah? What are you gonna do?
Piss on me?

Ariane.

You know I feel for you.

But we can't say to the creditors,
"Sorry, I'm just a victim here".

At least the condo's in your name.

Have you thought about selling it?

No, I want to consolidate
my debt.

Selling the condo means
you could pay everything else off.

Yeah, but I don't want to.

Sell it high
and you'll have a nest egg.

The condo's all she has left.
Can we at least not lose that?

Ariane, we've known
each other a long time.

I'll be straight with you.

Even if we negotiate a great deal,
it'll mean large monthly payments.

How are you
going to pay those?

She has a new job.
One that pays really well.

What exactly is your new job?

Ariane?

So the shitty thing
about the husker is that

when it strips the corn husks and silk,
they clog the drain.

It takes a team
to keep it clear.

The machines can't do that.

Or else it overflows
and we have to stop production.

That's the worst thing
I've ever smelled.

And I've been in the can
after Guillermo!

Go ahead.

Gentlemen!

There are two water drains.

You'll be removing
the corn debris.

You fill your wheelbarrows
and dump them over there.

Got it?

I'd like to see him shovelling,
with his wooden leg!

What did he say?

He was just joking.

"Why don't you try it,
with your wooden leg."

You here to fool around or to work?

Don't waste my time.

He says, are you here
to fool around or to work?

To work.

Then get to work.

Ma'am.

Can I speak with you?

Sure, sit down.

We need your help.

The store where we go
to buy our food is far away.

I wanted to see

if you could possibly
drive us there a few times a week.

I don't know because

I don't drive so I couldn't do it.

Maybe someone else on your team?

The other day it took us
two hours to walk there and back.

And we finish our shifts late.

It's not realistic,
we can't do that every day.

I understand.

I'll see what I can do,
but the truth is

I doubt Stéphane
would rent transport

because it's expensive.

But isn't this
sort of your responsibility?

My responsibility
is to translate what you say.

But you are our liaison
with the plant.

But I know Stéphane...

Who should I speak to, then?

I'll see what I can do.

What?

Overtime!

Faster Manuel, the water's rising.

Can't you see
it's about to overflow?!

You guys are too slow!

Grab a shovel, do something!

Let's go, everyone's waiting!

You alright?

Stéphane, we gotta talk
about frozen goods.

Nothing major,
just a little behind.

Gimme a break, I was on the phone
with Ricard for three hours.

You're not eating?

Later. I have to hand in
these reports by four.

Fucking rush, eh?

So, did you miss the village?

No.
I missed being by the river.

Have you seen your friends,
Amélie and all?

No. They were more
Pat's friends anyways.

Fuckin' Pat,
a real piece of work.

You must've known?

Known what?

Pat and his scams,
you must've known.

No, why do you say that?

C'mon, we all know how Pat is.
You must've suspected.

Don't be like that,
we're just talking.

It's just that I have 24 reports
to finish, you know?

Señora, are you okay?

Yes, I just need some air.

What would Stéphane say
if he saw you slacking off?

Are you here to fool around
or to work?

Don't worry Señora,
Juan's harmless.

He gets offended
at everything we say.

Just like a little girl!

Go fuck yourself, stupid Mexican.

You think you're funny?

I don't see what's so funny.

Señora.

Can I speak
with the boss?

Get on with it, my day is done
and my kid's waiting.

We're listening.
What's up?

My father just died.

His father just died.

I need to go home for five days.

With your permission.

He's asking to go home
for five days, for the funeral.

First, offer him our condolences.

I'm sorry.
Please accept our condolences.

He can go,
but we can't keep his spot.

I can't fly someone in
for just five days.

You can go back,
but you won't be able to return.

I'm begging you, please.

I borrowed money to come here.

He really needs the job,
he took on debt to come here.

I'm sorry but
I can't do more than that.

Sorry.

What if I went for two days?

I could go for the burial
and come right back.

What if he just went for two days?

It's complicated,
we're in the corn rush.

It's never a good time.

Look, we can't do this.
I don't wanna set a precedent.

C'mon Stéphane,
his dad just died.

Can't we take on
a Québécois temp for two days?

No Québécois will shovel
for 10 bucks an hour.

I swear, this doesn't make me happy.

But if I say yes,
I'll end up paying for it.

My kid's waiting.

Sorry.

Stéphane's got a short fuse,
but he sorts things out fast.

When the French company
bought the plant,

their plan was to shut it down.

- Oh yeah?
- Stéphane fought for it.

It was his idea to bring in Latinos.
We both owe him our jobs.

I didn't know.

And Ricard's
putting so much pressure on him.

I don't think
I could do any better.

That's not what I'm saying,
it's just that

he's rough.

If you want some advice,

you could toughen up a bit.

You're a lone woman,
dealing with all these latino men.

Stay on your guard.

Sorry, could you ask him
to choose a four-digit PIN?

Select a four-digit code.

Type them into the keyboard.

- Once more.
- Again.

They don't match,
you have to start over.

You made a mistake,
we have to start over.

What digits should I enter?

Whatever ones you want.

And again.

No, wait.

It needs to be the same digits.

Choose a number
you'll remember.

What's this for?

For your money.
Trust me, okay?

Again.

Perfect, thank you.

Let me.

Thanks.

No, guys,
I'm just bringing the schedules.

Hide the beer!

Come on,
you don't need to leave!

The floods have slowed us down,
but we'll catch up.

Listen, I'll be honest with you.

We are not impressed with
the results of the last quarter.

What can I say?

We trusted you.

You requested foreign labourers,
we gave them to you.

What the hell
are they doing?

A 3% increase is way off
of our target.

Don't worry, Mr. Ricard,
I'm confident...

And what's the deal with
letting a load rot in the sun?

I never heard of such a thing!

We have 23 plants,
it never happens!

So what's the problem?
Is it incompetence?

We're doing the best we can.

It's unfortunate,
but this is your final warning.

Either you reach 8%
or we find someone who can.

Is that clear?

Is that clear?

All right.
We'll do what's necessary.

Good. We'll talk next week.

Thank you, sir.

Geez! He's in a mood.

I'd hire him for the night shift.

He's testy!

That's just his style.

As friendly as ever, eh?

I can't stand him.

Whatever you do,
it's never good enough for him.

Stéphane, can we have some?
They might help us too!

Okay boys, I think that's enough...

Sorry.

Sorry.

We've had to stop 13 times
this month for a clogged drain.

Figure it out with your guys, okay?
You gotta push them harder.

They're working hard, doing overtime,
coming in at night.

My head's on the chopping block.

You gotta push them harder
or I'll have to replace them, okay?

Stéphane, we're waiting.

I'm coming.

You've done a damn good job
this month.

I need you.

Do what you gotta do.

Gentlemen.

I'm making
some changes.

From now on,
you'll work in rotation.

In the morning,
you'll do the job you normally do

and in the afternoon

you'll switch positions.

For training
on the optical sorter,

Manuel and Alfonso?

Come with me.

Yes?

Señora, do we really have to?

Yes, it's necessary.

I know it's hard,
but we all have to make an effort.

Can't you ask for volunteers?

Do you know anyone
who would volunteer for this job?

What're you doing,
changing their assignments?

I'm giving them rotations.

You could've asked me first.

You said
"Do what you gotta do".

I didn't say
to change their jobs.

I didn't wanna bother you.

Don't worry, it's no big deal.

Yes, it's a big deal.
If something happens, it's on me!

Stéphane, making them shovel
all week long isn't working.

I know what it's like,
I've shovelled a shitload of corn!

They can't go faster than they are,
they're exhausted!

Too bad. I'll call the agency
for replacements.

C'mon Stéphane,

nobody can shovel 50 hours a week
without burning out.

Yeah, it's a shitty job!
I know!

Sorry.

Look, maybe you're right,

but I'm still pissed
you didn't talk to me first.

You're right,
I should've asked.

But I'm on top of it, okay?

It won't take any of your time
or add to your stress.

And you know they're useless
if they're injured.

They don't have to do overtime.
Why don't they say no sometimes?

They don't know
their rights.

Since they got here,

we've been threatening
to send them back.

They're scared.

Come on, don't exaggerate.

This is Québec,
they're not slaves.

But if they don't pick up the pace,
Stéphane will send them back.

He's bluffing.
He can't fire them, he needs them.

You don't know him,
he doesn't mess around.

Is it possible
that you're exaggerating a bit?

I know you don't want to hear this,

but I think this is like
your story with Pat.

You take on his debt,
you try to help everyone.

You give and give.

You don't see that
you're being taken advantage of.

You're the one in trouble,
you gotta think of yourself.

Of course.

Thanks Mom.

I'm saying this because I love you.

It'd be too bad
if you lost your job over this.

That's all.
But you do you.

Good night,
see you tomorrow.

Señora.

- Señora, wait.
- Yes?

My day is done, Alfonso,
what's the matter?

We just want to thank you
for what you did for us this week.

We really appreciate it.

It's normal.

Listen, today is Independence Day
in Guatemala.

Have a beer with us?

- No thanks.
- Just one.

I've got things to do.

No, I have work.

We would be honoured.

No thanks.
I'm touched, but...

Cheers!

But just one!

I know they think
we all look alike.

I think all Québécois look alike.

Yeah. Stéphane, Marcel, Ariane,
they all look the same to me!

Not true.
Come on, guys.

I wanted you to know, Señora,

what you did for us is fantastic.

It's the truth, I am truly grateful.

Good.

Tell me,

how do you see me?

See you?

With her eyes.

No, I mean as an employee.

You might have
a slight attitude problem.

Okay, easy now.

- But the work?
- The work is good.

- Good?
- Yes.

Then I deserve
a recommendation letter, no?

A recommendation letter?
What for?

Yes, you know, to return?

I don't know what you mean.

At the end of the season,
the plant gives us official letters

to let your government
know we are trustworthy.

Without that, we can't reapply
to the program the next year.

For real?
You're sure about this?

Believe me, this is my seventh year
in Canada.

It's so expensive to apply,

we have to return every year
or it's not worth it.

He's right.

So, do I deserve one?

After all, you owe us, no?

What exactly do I owe you?

You drank our chela
all night long.

"Chela"?

Yes.

Our beer. Note that
in your little translator notebook.

What do you think?

I bust my ass all day long,
and for what?

So you can drink out of my fridge?

Nothing's too good for you, huh?

Juan, come play some guitar for us.

Relax, it was just a joke.

Can't say nothing anymore.

May I ask, where did
you learn your Spanish?

My mom made me take lessons

so I could speak
with my father.

Is he Mexican?

No.

He's Guatemalan.

Seriously?

Yup. It's crazy, I know.

Damn!

And he lives here?

No, he's there.

As a kid, I'd write to my dad,

asking him to invite me
to Guatemala,

for him to "introduce" me
to my country, like it was a person.

He never replied.

That means that

you've never been to Guatemala?

Can I ask you a question?

Why were you crying
that first evening on the bus?

For nothing.

Tell me.

Or do I have to ply you
with another chela?

Because...

My wife Maria...

Before I left, she threw
a surprise party for me.

Never have so many people I love
come to see me.

I realized that
I left without thanking her.

I was tired and nervous,
so I started to cry.

It's ridiculous.

Not at all.

Let me show you a picture.

Is your back okay?

Yes, thanks.

We can go see
the doctor if you want.

I don't want to take days off.
But thanks.

This is my family.

She's my youngest.

Gorgeous.

What's her name?

Roxana.

Too cute.

Thank you.

- I have more.
- Wait!

Go back.

You have a motorbike?

Yes.

I'm a delivery man.

- Of propane?
- Yes.

If I could feed my family
doing only that,

it would be my dream job.

Really, your dream job?

Yes, my dream job.

When I'm on my bike,
I'm free.

I'm at peace.

I come home at night and I'm not
exhausted like I am here.

I can take care of my kids.

Is this your dream job?

No.

I need money

to pay off my condo.

Stupid, eh?

So, what happened?

I was with someone who...

Big party tonight?

Yes, it's Independence Day for them.

A neighbour complained
about the noise.

It's almost 1am.
We don't want the cops here.

Thanks Mathieu,
I'll take care of it.

Guys!

The party's over.

Seriously?

Yes, it's late.

Ariane, one last song, just for you!

No, we have to stop now, please.

C'mon, give him a beer,
the night is still young!

He's the plant security guard,
understand?

The party's over.

Oh, sorry sir.

You're the security guard
at the plant?

Not good enough for the police, eh?

Sorry sir, I didn't realize
you were so important!

What's that guy's name?

I think it's Enrique?
Not sure, there's so many of them.

Yeah, they all kinda look alike.

Yeah.

They can clean this up tomorrow.

- Go on. Scram.
- Thanks Mathieu.

Hey buddy!
You're taking your time in there!

- What's this?
- A petition.

A petition for what?
I'm busy now.

Sixteen of us are demanding that
you remove the security cameras.

Oh come on.

They can't remove the cameras
from the plant, it's a safety issue.

No, you don't get it.

Not from the plant,
from the house and the dorms.

What are you talking about?

We pay rent.

It's illegal to film us
outside of working hours.

Can't we do something?

I'm just asking.

What, you're a union rep now?

What do I tell them?
Why the cameras all of a sudden?

They're always getting wasted
and bothering the neighbours.

If Ricard finds out,
I'm dead meat.

But isn't it illegal
to monitor them?

What?

They pay rent,
it's their home.

Do we have the right to do that?

- Don't get involved.
- I'm just asking.

Ariane, I'm not fooling around.

- You're too soft to work here.
- Is it illegal or not?

What were you doing
drinking with them at the house?

You know that's against regulations.

I sympathize with your situation
but I've got debts too.

And you're putting my job
in danger.

Can't believe this bullshit!

I refuse to sleep
with a camera filming me!

How is this even possible?

Isn't there anything we can do?

Like what, a complaint?
I don't think that's a good idea.

Why not?

There's a camera pointed
at the bathroom door.

You think it's okay
that they know when I shit?

I'm not saying
I agree with Stéphane.

I tried to talk to him,
he doesn't care.

I'm too old for this.
It's time to call the Labour Board.

You can't file an anonymous complaint,
Stéphane will know it's you.

You know what I think?

I think you're scared
of losing your job.

You told Manuel that you're just here
to save your condo.

You're a piece of shit, Juan!

So, I'm a piece a shit!

- It's your fault, you got drunk.
- So what?

She defended you when
you were drunk, don't be an ass.

Manuel, you coming?

I appreciate you sticking up for us,
but she's right.

I came here to work,
not to start a revolution.

Me too, but there are limits.

It's fine for you.

You've paid back your spot
in the program, I haven't.

They're breaking the law
and you're okay with that?

Before you said it,
I didn't know and I don't care.

What are you doing?

What's this cash for?

Just a little debt.

Señora, this is not your business.

What kind of debt?

Julio referred me to the program,
it's only normal that I repay him.

How much?

Forty.

Forty...?

Forty percent.

Of your salary?

Yes.

What?

You give him 40 percent
of your salary

because he referred you
to the program?

Señora, everyone does this.
What's the problem?

The problem is it costs you
a fortune to live here

and you give him

Señora, next year
Manuel will refer someone else

and then he'll get a percentage.

Give him back his money.

This is how it is in Guatemala.

I don't give a shit.
Give him his money back.

Lady, don't stick your nose
where it doesn't belong.

Or else what?
What're you going to do?

Tell me.

I bust my ass trying to help you
only to see you exploit one another?

- I didn't ask you for anything.
- Give him back his money.

You want me
to call security?

I snap my fingers
and you're sent home.

You're just like Stéphane.
You've learned the lesson well.

Here, take the cash.

Okay.

Anyway, all I want
is to save my condo, right?

Well played, Juan.

Go take a break,
I'll do it.

No, I'm all right,
we're switching jobs soon.

Drink some water.

You don't look well.

- What d'you want?
- C'mon, it's my money.

You heard what she said.
And she's right.

Stay out of this.

You know I need that cash.

No, Manuel.

What gives you the right?

He's given you enough,
the debt is paid.

It's okay, he's right,
we had a deal.

Why do you defend Manuel like that?
You want to suck his dick?

- Julio, chill!
- Say that again?

You want to suck him off,
you Mexican piece of shit?

You like big dicks, eh?

Stop it.

Stéphane!

Stéphane!

Him.
And who's the other one?

- Him, I think.
- Those two, get them out.

- What's going on?
- Tell them to get dressed.

What's up?

I dunno. Get dressed.

Jean-Pierre, we need transport
to the airport.

- What're they doing?
- I don't know.

Can you tell me
what's going on?

You're firing them?

Zero tolerance.
It's the rule.

They weren't even fighting
on the job.

Where are they taking us?

I don't know,
I'll see what I can do.

Round them up.
They need a little talk.

Call the agency,
I need two more.

Stéphane, wait!

Calm down Ariane,
it's not worth losing your job over.

Translate.

This is a warning.

Whoever causes trouble
will also be sent home.

Tell them the rotations
are finished.

I never should've listened to you.

Seriously? Why?

We tried it your way
and it only caused me trouble.

If they can't keep up,
we replace 'em.

No way, I'm sorry.

If you do this, I'll call Ricard
and tell him how you treat them.

You think he doesn't know?

Ariane, if you play this game,
you'll lose.

I'll ask you again, translate.

Translate, or I fire your little friends
on the spot.

Okay then.

- Take those three.
- These?

No, okay, stop!

Gentlemen.

No more shift rotations.

I know it's unfair.

But he's a son of a you-know-what.

I'll see what I can do to fix this.

Done.

Not that hard, eh?

Hello Alfonso,

I suppose you're on the plane.

I want to tell you I'm really sorry.

I'll at least try and get you
a recommendation letter.

Call me when you land.
Ciao.

What is it now?

You're gonna tell me
I'm being taken advantage of?

Thirty-five years in HR
and I never saw anything like this.

So what do I do?

Help me, Mom.

Talk to the recruiting agency.
Maybe they can help?

They get paid for every new recruit.

A high turnover
suits them just fine.

You could go to the media,
maybe write about it?

I can't speak publicly about this

or I break my contract
and get sued.

Without a union
and with that video,

you can't do much
for those guys.

But

maybe you can help
the guy with the bad back.

Bend forward.

- That's as far as I can go.
- He can't go further.

Okay, he can sit down.

- You sure this is a good idea?
- Yes.

The insurance will
pay your salary, don't worry.

Looks like a lumbar strain.

I'm putting him on medical leave
for one week.

This is a muscle relaxant.

He should take it
once a day with food.

He can also take ibuprofen
if needed.

The most important thing
is to rest.

No move.

Okay, good.

- He'll be fine.
- Thanks.

Your mother
told you to bring him there?

Look, it's done,
now give him a break, okay?

You know we have a company doctor.

You've complicated things
by bringing in Workers' Comp.

Excuse me,
but they're here.

We'll take care of them.

It won't be long.

You've lost me another guy,
and we have to pay him, too?

- Well, stop sending them back!
- Watch it, Ariane.

I'm sorry,
I can't be part of this anymore.

- You can't treat them like that!
- Shush, everyone's watching.

If you can't do it,
then give me your pass.

Give me your pass,
I've given you enough chances.

You can't just fire me
like that.

I'm not, you're quitting.
You said you couldn't do it.

- Give me your pass!
- Easy, Stéphane.

Shut up, Michèle!

Give me your pass.

Do you feel manly
when you talk like that?

Gimme your fucking pass!

There are reports
to translate by four.

But it's just translation.

Any fool can do that.

I don't even know
why I'm fucking crying.

I'm just so fucking mad.

I'll call Robin
and explain the situation.

The union will back you.

You'll have your job back
by the end of the day.

No, Mom, it's not worth it.

What do you mean?
Nonsense.

Every time I walk
in that place, I feel like shit.

Ariane, what are you gonna do
without a job?

You did all that for nothing?
It's over?

It's not fair,
you're the victim here.

Mom, please don't say that.

But it's true.

Why can't you think of yourself
first for once in your life?

Did you really think I had no idea
what Pat was up to?

What?

I didn't know how he did it,
but I knew something was up.

He made so much cash
and hardly worked at all.

I'm not stupid.

But I kept my mouth shut
and took advantage.

So don't tell me
I can't think about myself.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because

I was afraid you wouldn't help me.

Y'know, I could shut my mouth
about what's going on at the plant.

Like I did with Pat.

But look where that got me.

How are you feeling?

I'm still sore.

Only four weeks left.

I know.
I miss you.

I'll call you later.

Good evening.

My name is Richard,
I'm the new coordinator.

How are you?

Very well.

Great.

We have a favour to ask of you.

We just received an unscheduled load

and we're a little short of men.

These are your best friends.

Can't you delay
the payments for a month?

We're lucky the creditors
agreed to this at all.

- My hands are tied.
- Just one month?

They've already made
concessions.

It would only end in litigation.

You understand, Ariane?

- Yes, I understand.
- You look out of it.

What do
you understand?

I have two weeks to find a job
or I gotta sell the condo.

Can you help?
It's an emergency.

Yes, I'll ask.

- Is he feverish or cold?
- Cold!

Outta the way, boys.

Wait! If you go in,
they'll see you on the cameras.

I don't care, let's go!

Yes, I'm there now.

Manuel, you alright?

At least he's breathing.

What happened?

He was incoherent.
I don't know any more.

Who found him?

Me.

He woke me up, he was moaning.

Moaning?

Yes, he was in pain.

Is the ambulance coming?

Yes, they say to splash
cold water on his face.

I'll fetch it.

Yes, I'll stay on the line.

You know, at the plant,
things got even worse since you left.

They had him back shovelling?

When?

A few days later.
Maybe a week.

You alright?
What's wrong?

This is 694 to dispatch,
we need a 10-10 to the hospital.

He's gonna vomit again.

Sir, hold this.

I got it.

No, let him hold it.
It'll keep him awake.

Hold it.

You'll be okay.

Jesus, Mother of God.

Stay here, we'll come get you.

Can you hold the elevator, please?

Ma'am?

- You speak Spanish?
- Yes.

We need you now, follow me.

Come on,
we can catch up with them.

- You alright?
- Yes.

Okay, let's go.

Give me your things.

Wash your hands here.

We have to do
an emergency gastroscopy.

We need you
to get him to cooperate.

- Say yes if you understand.
- Yes, I get it.

Put this on.

Sit down there, hurry.

We'll put a tube
down his throat into his stomach.

It's important for him to stay calm
and not to struggle.

Aren't you going
to put him under?

He's lost too much blood.
We might lose him.

Talk to him
to keep him awake.

Manuel, it's okay,
they're taking care of you.

They need to put
a tube down your throat.

You really need to stay calm.

Let's do it.

Open your mouth.

He's going to vomit.

Where am I?

The hospital,
you need help.

Let's go again.
Tell him he can't vomit.

Please don't throw up.

Manuel, please, don't vomit.

Open your mouth, open.

Don't give up.

It'll be alright.

Easy now, everything's okay.
Trust me.

Can't wait any longer.
It's gotta be now.

Ma'am, move back a bit.

Don't vomit, stay calm.

Keep talking to him, ma'am.

You're on your motorbike.

You're alone riding your bike.

You're at peace.

We're in.

Very good, stay calm.

It's a nice sunny day,
the breeze is warm.

You're riding on your bike, free.

He's gotta stop moving
or he'll make it worse.

- Keep it up.
- That's what I'm doing!

You're doing great.

Manuel, please look at me.
Look me in the eyes.

It's all good.

It's going well,
don't worry.

I'm here with you, don't worry.

Calm down.
Please stop moving.

You're on your bike.

You're on your bike,
taking it easy.

It's almost over now.

I know it hurts.

Just hold on a bit longer.

Stop moving.

Please don't move.
It's almost done.

It's going well.

Very soon you'll see your little girl.

You'll see your little Roxana.

In just a few days,
you'll hold your baby girl.

Your daughter's waiting for you.
Stay calm, it's almost over.

It's almost over.

Your wife and kids
are waiting for you.

Madame.

That'll be a total
of $43,825.95.

How will you be paying?

Wait, how much?

$43,825.95.

I'm not paying for it,

I don't even work there anymore.

Do you have a contact number
for someone at the plant?

Ma'am, can I see you a moment?

- Can I go?
- Yes.

No sign of infection so far.

I've never seen
such a large stomach wound.

His doctor prescribed
Sylobensoprane for his back.

Was he respecting the dosage?

As far as I know, yes.

Was he taking anything else?
Acetaminophen or ibuprofen?

I don't know, maybe.

One thing's for sure,

for it to get that bad,
he must've suffered for weeks.

Tell him to breathe in deeply.

Breathe in deeply.

Good.

He can get dressed now.

You can get dressed.

Thanks Doc,
you're saving our asses.

You must initial each page

and sign on the last one.

What is this, exactly?

It's for reimbursement
of medical costs.

Why is it dated
from two weeks ago?

It's nothing, just a formality,
I assure you.

I don't know how to read.

Can you explain it, please?

Listen, buddy.

If you don't sign this now,
it'll delay everything.

You'll be stuck here alone
while the others return home.

You understand?

What did Workers' Comp say?

They say
it's not a work accident.

Nobody wants to pay.

I can't work,
I have no salary coming in.

I'm not sure what we can do.

I'll never be able
to pay this back.

I know.

Have you called the Consulate?

No.

I wouldn't even know
what to tell them.

When's your meeting
with Workers' Comp?

Monday.

At 10am.

This Monday?

Yes.

I beg you, Ariane,
I really need your help.

Don't leave me here alone.

Hello, this is Ariane Bélanger,

I have a job interview
on Monday morning.

Yes, that's it.

I'm calling because
something has come up.

Would it be possible
to move it to the afternoon?

Yes, I understand.

Any chance you'll book
a second day of interviews?

You gotta file
for an administrative review.

You're gonna fill out
a new claim form.

Don't send it
until you show it to me.

You have to word things carefully.

If it goes to court,
it could be used against him.

Do you have Manuel's timesheets?

Just the ones I filled out
before they fired me.

Ask Manuel
to send you the missing ones.

Then go to the hospital.

Get all the notes from both doctors.

I can't believe they had him
sign a false declaration.

Why would they do that?

So their insurance costs
don't increase.

What do they call his position?
Dayworker?

No, husker.

See, here.

- Good God!
- What?

Twenty-nine days straight,
shovelling.

He only took two Sundays off.

What the fuck
is she doing here?

You didn't tell him?

Show him what you showed me.

This is a legal power of attorney.

If you want to talk to Manuel,
you have to go through me.

So you're a fucking lawyer now?

You can go now,
we won't need you.

Am I going too fast?

It's okay, go on.

September 18, Manuel Morales is put
on medical leave for seven days.

On September 22,
I'm no longer there

but Manuel says that Stéphane
came to ask him to shovel.

That's not what he said
in his declaration.

Sorry for interrupting, Mr. Cournoyer,

but we recognize the lumbar strain
was a work-related injury.

We don't need to go over that.

It's the stomach wound that's hard
to justify for work coverage.

Right! He didn't follow the dosage.
No offense, but that's on him.

When they asked Manuel to work,

they gave him pills
without a marked dosage.

He was told the pills would
relieve the pain so he could work.

Sorry, but that's nonsense.

I don't know if this is revenge
for your job, Ariane,

but don't waste our time.

Mr. Cournoyer,
please stop interrupting.

She's speaking for your employee,
he has a right to be heard.

- Can I go on?
- Yes please.

It's an over-the-counter
anti-inflammatory,

but it's also a stomach irritant.

Okay, so?

Manuel spends another
eight days in a row shovelling.

He's in pain, he's confused,
he doesn't know who to talk to.

So he stuffs himself with pills,

mixing them with
his prescription meds.

On day nine, he's in the hospital
with a hole in his stomach.

Look, we're not blaming anyone.

But we all know
he can't pay his medical bills.

What we're requesting
is an administrative claim...

Don't you mean
an administrative review?

Yes,
an administrative review

to have the stomach wound declared
a work-related accident.

The least we can do
is to not put him in debt.

Okay, but could Mr. Morales tell us why
he declared he was able to work?

It's because he didn't fill out
the declaration himself...

Can you ask him the question
so we can hear from him directly?

In your declaration,

why did you write that you
were ready to return to work?

I didn't write anything.

I know, but

they want to hear you say it,
to know that it comes from you.

It's almost over.

I don't know what I signed.

As you know, I can't read.

He says he doesn't know what
he signed because he can't read.

These are serious allegations.

Yes.

This could justify an enquiry.

Don't tell me
you believe her?

Well, it's your word against hers.

It's his goddamn declaration!

You think we forced him to sign?
Gimme a fucking break!

Mr. Cournoyer, your employee
is well within his rights.

You won't gain my sympathy
by talking like that!

We'll go ahead
with the review request.

Mr. Morales, if you want an enquiry,
that is within your rights.

If you want to file a complaint
for them to investigate, you can.

No.

I don't want
any more problems.

It could stop them
from doing it again.

I just want to go home.

No enquiry,
he just wants it to be over.

Okay then.

Your request will be processed,
I've filled out the form.

There's a two-week waiting period
for the re-evaluation,

I'll keep you informed.

Well, look who's here.

Nice show you put on the other day
for Workers' Comp.

What are you doing here?

C'mon, Michèle.
I just came to say goodbye.

What were you thinking?

If there's an enquiry,
we'll all lose our jobs.

Well, now you know how they feel.

Hello.

Hey, how's it going, guys?

Hi.

Are you happy
to finally be going home?

Yes.

Manuel, I'll put your suitcase
in the bus.

Thanks.

So...

The hospital in Guatemala City
will take over your file.

They'll take care
of the insurance, too.

Are you okay, Manuel?

Yes.

What's the matter?

Nothing, everything's fine.

Tell me, what's up?

Richard, the new translator,

he told us that those
who stay in touch with you

won't get recommendation letters
for next year.

Time to go everybody.
Move it!

You want to come back,
after all you went through?

For real,
you want to come back?

Let's go!

Quickly, please!

Hey Juan, sing us a song?

Nah, my guitar is put away.

C'mon.
Usually we can't shut you up!

I don't have the guitar,
it's under the bus.

Just one!

Come on,
you don't need the guitar.

By popular demand,
would you like me to sing a song?

Yeah!

Okay, sing along
if you know the words.

That one again?

Stop!

Sir.

What's the matter?

You alright?

What's up?

One minute.

Hurry up, Manuel.

One minute.

If you ever come
to Guatemala,

it would be my pleasure
to introduce you to your country.
