- What's she saying?
- She says...

:08:05
that you who work
for the company...

:08:09
are at fault for what
has happened to Nelson...

:08:13
because you want
to take him with you.

:08:17
She doesn't want Nelson to go.
:08:19
We support Nelson. It's an unjust thing...
:08:22
and she shouldn't worry.
:08:24
We'll do all we can to clear up
this situation once and for all.

:08:28
Nelson can't be guilty.
It's just not his fault.

:08:32
We'll continue to protect your son.
:08:38
The rumors
the Aguaruna spread who were against us...

:08:42
uh, for example,
said that we would cut -

:08:45
we would dig a canal
between the two river systems -

:08:47
between Rio Marañón
and further up between, uh...

:08:50
Rio Cenepa and leave the community
of Waiwaim as an island...

:08:55
which would dry out.
:08:57
And they spread rumors we -
we would, uh...

:08:59
slaughter them and take the grease
out of their bodies and cook the grease...

:09:05
and that we would rape their women
and that we would, uh...

:09:09
do any kind of harm to them.
:09:12
There were other rumors by the press
that we were smuggling arms.

:09:16
That we had -While we were shooting
that we destroyed their fields.

:09:20
But we are not shooting yet.
:09:23
There were rumors that, uh,
we had four-

:09:26
On our demand,
four Aguaruna Indians were arrested...

:09:29
who were in opposition against us.
:09:32
Which is a blatant lie.
:09:34
And it can be checked easily.
:09:36
Not even the council of the Aguarunas
maintains that anymore.

:09:42
And then there were
some, uh, agitators here -

:09:44
Even from Germany
two guys came here eight days ago...

:09:48
and they brought
a lot of photos with, uh -

:09:50
from concentration camps
with piles of bodies.

:09:54
And they had other photos
with them of a- of a tribe-

:09:56
I don't know yet which one.
:09:59
And they claimed that I had, uh-
It was my fault...
