0:00:02 > 0:00:04Meet Mali, Oliver, Kassia, Michael and Rhianna.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07- Hiya!- Five pampered kids with all of the clothes, gadgets
0:00:07 > 0:00:09and toys they could ever dream of.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11I'm happy that I've got everything.
0:00:11 > 0:00:12I'm the brand man.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16We have travelled nearly 3,000 miles from Natal in the
0:00:16 > 0:00:21northeast of Brazil to Manaus in the heart of the Amazon.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Today we'll be living in the Amazon rainforest.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25That's raw!
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Have people ever been swallowed by snakes here?
0:00:28 > 0:00:29It happens.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31How will they cope working for a strict boss in a huge
0:00:31 > 0:00:33technology factory?
0:00:33 > 0:00:36You cannot talk to each other. You just need to follow the rules.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39I am fuming.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42And what happens when one of them goes too far?
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Two are demoted but we have five children.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46One of them is fired.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Firing has never happened and it was a big shock to us all.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57OK, gang, follow me.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59'We are halfway through our trip and I have brought the kids to
0:00:59 > 0:01:03'one of the most incredible places on Earth - the Amazon rainforest.'
0:01:03 > 0:01:08Welcome to Manaus in the heart of the Amazon rainforest and right
0:01:08 > 0:01:11now we are crossing the almighty Rio Negro and Amazon rivers.
0:01:11 > 0:01:17I'm proper nervous but I'm so excited at the same time.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20It's like crossing the sea, it's that big.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24I know that in the Amazon there's snakes which I am not happy about.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27I don't think there's that many things I am scared of in the water.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Piranhas. I'm scared of piranhas.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33What our five don't know is that I'll be taking them to a traditional
0:01:33 > 0:01:36village where they are going to live just like the locals do.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40OK, gang, welcome to your new home. This is the floating village.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- So cool. - How does it not sink?
0:01:43 > 0:01:47The wooden houses are tied to huge logs which keep them afloat.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Living in these floating houses is a tradition that goes back
0:01:50 > 0:01:52hundreds of years.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55But now the people that live here have jobs in the modern city
0:01:55 > 0:01:59across the river and after work they return to their homes on the water.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02And our house is floating along with the rest of them.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Right, here we are. Come on in to your new temporary home.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09'The kids will be sleeping in the Amazonian way
0:02:09 > 0:02:11'and eating Amazonian food.'
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Do you want to go into the kitchen?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Yeah.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Are you gutting fish?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19I've asked Dudu to be our guide here.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24- He was born in a house like this. - It's massive!
0:02:24 > 0:02:28This is a little one. They can be like 45 kilos.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Dudu is gutting a Tambaqui fish, a member of the piranha family.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34That's what they eat here.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35You don't like fish, do you?
0:02:35 > 0:02:40I absolutely hate fish, Rhianna.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42You've never tried a fish from the Amazon, that's
0:02:42 > 0:02:43why you don't like fish, man.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Dudu is an Amazon expert
0:02:45 > 0:02:47so he's going to make sure we survive out here.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51You are in the biggest tropical rainforest in the world.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55The caimans that live here can be like five metres long.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Water snakes can be eight metres long.
0:03:01 > 0:03:07They can squeeze you and then they can swallow you and that's it.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Have people ever been swallowed by snakes here?
0:03:10 > 0:03:11It happens.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13You're not in England any more.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17You're in the Amazon rainforest staying on a floating village.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19But he's the perfect guy to keep you safe.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23As long as you listen to Dudu, I'm here as well, you'll be OK.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27As they settle down to their Amazon supper it turns out the food
0:03:27 > 0:03:29isn't that strange after all.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33This fish is actually quite nice. It doesn't taste like fish.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35They have crossed the Amazon for the very first time.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38They have eaten Amazonian fish, they have enjoyed a real
0:03:38 > 0:03:41traditional life out here but tomorrow it's going to be very, very different.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Back at home our five feel utterly lost without
0:03:48 > 0:03:51a gadget in their hands and some of our kids have got up
0:03:51 > 0:03:55to £5,000 worth of kit sat in their bedroom.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Today they are about to find how that kit is made.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01We are off for our shift in a hi tech gadget factory.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05We are going to the electronics giant, Sony. The company has
0:04:05 > 0:04:09had this factory in the heart of the Amazon for nearly 30 years.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12400,000 games consoles and nearly
0:04:12 > 0:04:161.5 million TVs are made here every year.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Their 2,000 workers have the highest productivity rate of any
0:04:20 > 0:04:25Sony factory in the world. The boss here, Pedro, does not take prisoners.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Thanks very much for having us. We really appreciate it.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Welcome to Sony. So, do you like technology?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Yeah. - These guys love technology.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37They've got gadgets absolutely everywhere at home.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40All of our kids are techno mad.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44This little gadget corner of mine is worth about £5,000.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47If someone took this phone off me I'd probably scream.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I cannot live without my phone.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52I don't even like it when people touch it.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Here's my little baby. I spend every day with it.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58My gadgets are like my best friend.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01But can they convert their love of gadgets into hard
0:05:01 > 0:05:03graft in this factory?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05A lot of the work here is done by hand
0:05:05 > 0:05:10and Pedro is starting the kids off on a particularly tricky task.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11OK. Come on through.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Circle around here for me.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19They will be putting together part of a TV remote control system.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22They are fitting electrical components into the housing.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25And there are 15 stages to follow.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27All have to be done in the right order.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29This is so hard.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34Normal operator is able to mount this part in 30 seconds
0:05:34 > 0:05:37but for you it will have to be two minutes.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Pedro is a reasonable man
0:05:38 > 0:05:42and so he is asking the kids to complete five every ten minutes.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Every single step has got to be perfect.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49No defect is allowed. Please, quality first.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53They've been asked to work in silence like everyone else.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58It's really hard.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01You really don't want to break any of their stuff, though.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05I've got a memory like a goldfish so it's so hard.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06I've spent five minutes doing one
0:06:06 > 0:06:09and you're meant to have two minutes doing one.
0:06:09 > 0:06:16I haven't even done one because...nobody is helping us
0:06:16 > 0:06:18and I have no idea what to do.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19They've only just started
0:06:19 > 0:06:23and already it seems like this task may be getting the better of them.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Michael, how are you doing? You are very, very slow.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Come on, you need to be more fast.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29I don't like fiddly things.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Pedro is monitoring the kids in exactly the same way as his workers.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Kassia, how you doing?
0:06:34 > 0:06:39OK, I think. It is really hard because it is really fiddly.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- How you doing? - Really bad.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- You have to do more fast.- I'm trying. I really am.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48I can't get these off. I was really doing well, as well.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Oliver how do you get this off?
0:06:51 > 0:06:55I don't know. I've done the same mistake as you.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Rhianna and Oliver, you can't talk to each other. You're talking a lot.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03The factory bosses here are used to having the very best workers
0:07:03 > 0:07:07and unfortunately that means it's not looking that good for our kids.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10It's going to be really tricky doing this for the rest of the day
0:07:10 > 0:07:14cos I'm finding it so, so, so difficult.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17I think the boss is very, very annoying.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Just checking he's not behind us.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Pedro's regular spot checks are putting Michael on edge.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Michael, are you facing any problems?
0:07:26 > 0:07:31A bit of a problem but I'm getting on with it and trying my hardest.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33You just need to follow the rules.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36How many have you already done?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Three.- Three?- Yeah.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43As he's been doing it for 26 minutes he should have finished 13 by now.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45I don't think the boss actually likes me.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Every time he comes over he repeats himself and he's like,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51"Come on, Michael, get quicker, get quicker.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56"Show more interest," but circuit boards don't interest me.
0:07:56 > 0:08:02Michael is not focused on the job. He is not concentrating.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Michael's not the only one who's finding it hard to pay attention.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Please, Oliver, this is not a disco.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I've finished.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14You've finished? Congratulations.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- But please be quiet.- Yeah.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Rhianna, Kassia and Olly have all completed the task...
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Everyone that has finished, let's go with me, please.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30..but Michael and Mali are so slow, they have to work on.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Michael. - Stacey.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Talk to me.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36I really wanted to do well today but...
0:08:39 > 0:08:41..I haven't.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44It's 15 minutes since the other three left.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Mali...Mali, Mali.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49I've just finished.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Tell me why it went so wrong?
0:08:50 > 0:08:55At the beginning it took me ten minutes to do one and then it
0:08:55 > 0:08:57took me 20 minutes to do two.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Could you work anywhere like this?
0:08:59 > 0:09:03I don't think I could work at anything like this.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06As they all wrap up, the quality control team check how
0:09:06 > 0:09:09many of the completed parts don't have defects.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Only then will Pedro decide who is skilled enough to join a real
0:09:14 > 0:09:15production line.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19That task is well and truly over. You happy about that?
0:09:19 > 0:09:20Yeah.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23First of all, thank you very much for your jobs, we appreciate a lot.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27We have done some tests and now we have the results.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Pedro is judging them on two things - behaviour
0:09:30 > 0:09:33and how many they've done correctly.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- Scary?- Yeah.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Pedro. Can we start with Olly?
0:09:38 > 0:09:44You managed to mount 14 and you have seven defects.
0:09:44 > 0:09:4850% were un-usable.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51You were dancing and talking a lot.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53That just can't happen here.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Both Kassia and Rhianna have managed to get 10 right.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58How did Mali get on?
0:09:58 > 0:10:03You managed only 10. You have one defect.
0:10:03 > 0:10:0410% of the factory.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07I'm happy that I only had one defect
0:10:07 > 0:10:10but I should have worked a lot faster.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Mali's done nine but she was extremely slow.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16So can you tell us how Michael did in this task?
0:10:16 > 0:10:22You did only nine and you had five defects.
0:10:22 > 0:10:2755% defects...it's too high.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Michael has only done four.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34Who you going to promote and who you going to demote?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Kassia, you have a very good behaviour, you are very
0:10:37 > 0:10:42concentrated and focused on the job and you are promoted.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Thank you. - Rhianna, you are promoted.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Thank you.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Are the other three demoted?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- No. Only two.- Two are demoted.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55But we have five children.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59One of them is fired.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02One is fired?
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Yes. In our factory you need to respect the rules.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09OK, so who is fired?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Michael is fired.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13You shouldn't be happy.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14I'm not happy.
0:11:15 > 0:11:2055% defect is unacceptable in our factory.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23The reality is that
0:11:23 > 0:11:30if a lot of what you are producing is not usable, that's the problem.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Yeah.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Does that make sense?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Yeah, yeah, course, yeah.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Would you fire you?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- I would probably give myself another chance.- Do you want
0:11:38 > 0:11:39another chance?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Of course, yeah.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Unfortunately, Michael won't be allowed back in the factory.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48So that leaves Mali and Olly to be demoted.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Yes. Mali and Olly are demoted.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Everyone is astonished that Michael hasn't even survived a day here.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Firing has never happened
0:11:58 > 0:12:01so obviously it was a big shock to us all.
0:12:01 > 0:12:0445 minutes for that?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I am fuming.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Maybe this will be a wake up call for him to start trying.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17I do want to try in this factory again
0:12:17 > 0:12:20but I don't think he would give me a second chance so...
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Today has been a really dramatic day.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26We have had two promotions and two demotions
0:12:26 > 0:12:28and Michael has actually been fired.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30The boss had just had enough.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33And I think Michael's found it so hard here to cope in Brazil with
0:12:33 > 0:12:37the work that I am really hoping that he is able to bounce back.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40I want Michael to see for himself why it's important to work hard
0:12:40 > 0:12:43and keep your job and so I'm taking him
0:12:43 > 0:12:46to meet someone who might help him get that.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Hello, Nicema?
0:12:50 > 0:12:54'Nicema works in another technology factory close by
0:12:54 > 0:12:58'and she's rented this house for her family for over ten years.'
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Are we OK to have a look around your home?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- TRANSLATION:- Of course.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06I sleep in here with three of my children. Small, isn't it?
0:13:06 > 0:13:07My room is quite small
0:13:07 > 0:13:12but I can't imagine sharing it with several other people.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16For four people to be sharing one room is really incredible.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Nicema lives in this small house with her sister, her mother,
0:13:20 > 0:13:24her 12-year-old twin sons and her daughter.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Do you look after your whole family?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I have to fight. I have to work really hard.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32With the money I earn I can't even afford to buy a small
0:13:32 > 0:13:34toy for my children.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Nicema struggles to support her family even though she's
0:13:37 > 0:13:39a supervisor at work.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41What do you make at the factory you work at?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46At the factory we make circuit boards.
0:13:46 > 0:13:53My monthly wage is 765 Reals. With that 765 Reals I have to...
0:13:57 > 0:14:02That's £216 a month and it has to support six people.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06We were doing a very similar job to what you do today and both me
0:14:06 > 0:14:09and Kassia found it a bit difficult
0:14:09 > 0:14:14and in the end I was fired so I didn't do that well.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18I need my job. It's just me that works.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23To sustain myself, my children, my mother and my father.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28To have a job in a factory that you were in today is a luxury.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30It's a lifeline for lots of people.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Nicema's really, really lucky to have her job
0:14:34 > 0:14:38and, to be honest, I feel as if I haven't
0:14:38 > 0:14:43tried as hard as I should have and I kind of threw that job away.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48So...feel pretty gutted.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55She has no option basically but to work and look after her family
0:14:55 > 0:14:57and that's pretty much her life.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03If she was to get fired like Michael today, that's it. She would have nothing.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07It's a bit of a shock how much she valued her job and it made me
0:15:07 > 0:15:11want to have a second go at the factory.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13It's been an extraordinary day
0:15:13 > 0:15:17and Michael is now determined to get his job back tomorrow.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Off to bed.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- Finally.- Definitely.- Worn out.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28It's early in the morning out on the river and Olly
0:15:28 > 0:15:31and Michael are up to get supplies
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Anywhere you need to go you need a boat.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35The kids here, if you give them
0:15:35 > 0:15:37a bicycle they don't know what to do.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39But give them a little canoe and a paddle.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40Then they know what to do.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Yes. OK, that's our shop.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46They may be in the Amazon rainforest and 5,000
0:15:46 > 0:15:50miles from home but they'd like to eat something familiar.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Do you have salt and vinegar crisps?
0:15:57 > 0:16:02This one with chilli peppers and this one is like barbecue.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Do they have salt and vinegar?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07No. This is the only one she has.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I think barbecue.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14But there are plenty of places to bag a bargain round here.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Over here is our floating bakery.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19What's in the pie in the top?
0:16:19 > 0:16:20It's the cake over there.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Obrigado.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Obrigado.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Well, that was different, but I think they get a lot of money
0:16:29 > 0:16:31because there's not a lot of houses around.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Money is very important for some cultures but for many
0:16:34 > 0:16:39deep in the Amazon people don't use much money.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Just like trading.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45It's just the joy of having money is quite good.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I can't imagine living without money.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53They have been living without money for many years and years.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Last night Michael realised that to get money you have to
0:16:56 > 0:16:59work for it, and across the river in the technology park,
0:16:59 > 0:17:01people are gearing up for the day ahead.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Everyone, apart from Michael.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Only four of our kids have managed to make it back to the factory.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12And they are all keenly aware that Pedro
0:17:12 > 0:17:16and his team will not tolerate any slacking.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Mali and Olly are reporting to Eduardo for their demotion in the warehouse.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Welcome to your demotion task.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22I'm so sorry about that, guys,
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- but I guess you are better than Michael who was sacked, right?- Yep.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29He's giving them the job of sorting the old boxes ready for recycling.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Even this has to be done perfectly.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Like a mountain of cardboard that we have got there.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35We need to work fast.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Guys, guys, guys, just don't leave things messed up like this, OK?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47My mum does the recycling at home.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51I know it's like save the planet and stuff
0:17:51 > 0:17:54but I don't particularly take any notice.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57But neither of them can get out of the work here.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04Don't do that, don't do that. Please, just don't do that.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I can't imagine doing this for the whole day.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Over on the games console production line,
0:18:11 > 0:18:15promoted Kassia and Rhianna are trying to keep up with the workers.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Kassia, are you all right?
0:18:17 > 0:18:18There is just so much to do.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21They are packing the wires, instruction manuals
0:18:21 > 0:18:24and accessories into the finished boxes.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27If any of these things are missing, the box will be a reject.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30It's hard to keep up with the pace and stuff.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Rhianna's struggling with the height. She can't manage...
0:18:33 > 0:18:35I can't get to the top.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39These are too high for me to reach so I've got to balance them.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Hopefully they don't fall down.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50Pedro, this has only got nine. Oh, don't worry.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53There's no let up but they keep battling on.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56There is so much to do and you don't have a lot of time.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00I wouldn't be able to do this for eight hours or how many hours they do.
0:19:00 > 0:19:05'Meanwhile, after his change of heart about working here last night,
0:19:05 > 0:19:08'Michael has come to the factory to see Pedro.'
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Okey-dokey. How you feeling?
0:19:12 > 0:19:18A bit nervous but I'm quite excited to speak to Pedro cos
0:19:18 > 0:19:22I really do want to try and get my job back.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Nothing is guaranteed so I don't want you going in there
0:19:25 > 0:19:29thinking you're absolutely going to be allowed back in.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Can you understand if he might say no?
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Yeah, yeah, of course. I've had my chance.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Over in the warehouse, Mali and Olly are giving it all they've got
0:19:40 > 0:19:42to get the job done and impress Eduardo.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45The boxes are going down but it's getting refilled
0:19:45 > 0:19:47so it looks like we haven't done much but we have done loads.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49At the end they are doing pretty good.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51I'll clean the area, you carry on.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57We are doing quite well, I think.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Guys, congratulations, you are done now.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04High-five. Woo-hoo!
0:20:04 > 0:20:06With both tasks finished,
0:20:06 > 0:20:09word has got round that Michael is seeing Pedro.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12What me and Michael saw last night has definitely changed Michael's
0:20:12 > 0:20:17mind and I think he's like become a new person sort of and
0:20:17 > 0:20:20he appreciates that this is a chance that some people won't get.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Michael has one shot with Pedro.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Come, Michael, take a seat.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33I have been working for Sony more than 20 years.
0:20:34 > 0:20:41Sony has given us a good opportunity to grow in our careers.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44We need to be very serious in our job.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Because this kind of job is very, very difficult.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54It is a very sought after job and lots of people in Manaus want that job
0:20:54 > 0:21:01and I didn't quite realise how big it was to actually be working here.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Here in Brazil, to get this kind of job is important
0:21:05 > 0:21:08because we need to get money to provide for our family.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10We need to educate our children.
0:21:11 > 0:21:16I didn't realise how important it was to
0:21:16 > 0:21:18carry on even if you didn't enjoy it.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23I think I just gave up too soon which was stupid of me
0:21:23 > 0:21:25and I shouldn't have done that.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28The reason I came to see you was, to be honest, I want to ask
0:21:28 > 0:21:32if I could have a second chance of working with Sony.
0:21:32 > 0:21:37I am very impressed that you have asked us to talk with you
0:21:37 > 0:21:42and give you another chance. We appreciate a lot your effort.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50We have decided to give you a second chance.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54Please do your best and make a good job of it.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Thank you. Thank you.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03I will definitely try harder than I did yesterday.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06I was a bit disappointed yesterday and a bit angry
0:22:06 > 0:22:10and a bit upset but I woke up this morning
0:22:10 > 0:22:17and I had a good instinct and look where I am now, I have got it back.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Now all of the kids have won the bosses over today, Pedro is
0:22:20 > 0:22:24bringing them back together for one last task on a real production line.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29Hey, gang. Come round. Michael, you're back, how are you feeling?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Raring to go and hopefully I will do well.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33That's fighting talk.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37This time they're working on the DVD player line.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38And assembling the mother board.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42They have to add 10 electronic components to the circuit
0:22:42 > 0:22:44- board in front of them. - Do you get it?
0:22:44 > 0:22:48- Any questions?- How much would the average worker make in an hour?
0:22:48 > 0:22:53200 in one hour. You guys will only assemble 30.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- 30?- Got it?
0:22:56 > 0:22:59So the kids have been given a target of 30 - under
0:22:59 > 0:23:01a quarter of a normal worker.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07First one done. Few more to go.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I think this is my chance to redeem myself
0:23:10 > 0:23:13so hopefully I will be able to impress Pedro at the end of the day.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Rhianna, please, you cannot forget to put this in.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19I forgot it, I'm sorry, it was me. Sorry.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25The first one I stuck all these on wrong so that's one tray gone that
0:23:25 > 0:23:27I haven't done right.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Pedro is monitoring them all closely, as usual
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Michael, are you OK?
0:23:32 > 0:23:37Yeah, I'm doing quite well but this is more fiddly than the rest.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38You improve a lot.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41So our five are definitely
0:23:41 > 0:23:44getting into the final task here at the factory
0:23:44 > 0:23:48and I have got to say, Michael seems to be doing particularly well.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53- Michael...- Hello.- ..talk to me.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Doing quite well, I think.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Yeah? I saw Pedro coming over to you and he seems really happy.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01There was lots of nodding and thumbs up.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06That's all I wanted to do yesterday and today was please Pedro but...
0:24:07 > 0:24:11More of the same. Well done, Michael.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Now that I have got my job back I am pretty pleased.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17It seems that they have all upped their game.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19I think I am getting on quite well.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Finding it a lot less complicated than I thought it would be.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Hearing how vital and how necessary these jobs are,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28has that made you approach it slightly differently?
0:24:28 > 0:24:33I'm thinking as if I am Nicema and that this is my last chance
0:24:33 > 0:24:37otherwise I get fired, so I'm trying to do my best.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Everyone's concentrating much harder than yesterday.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44But is it enough of a turnaround for Michael?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46OK, guys, that's it now. Can you finish what you are doing?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49They all head to the boardroom to see
0:24:49 > 0:24:51if Pedro thinks they deserve a job.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Your last task...finished.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55THEY CHEER
0:24:58 > 0:24:59Hello.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05You guys know that Pedro and Eduardo have been watching your every
0:25:05 > 0:25:08move so we're going to hear what they think.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12So, guys, our employees have a passion to work here.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15They want to improve their skills.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17In all the other factories when we walked in,
0:25:17 > 0:25:20everyone used to stare at us and be wondering why we're here
0:25:20 > 0:25:23but when we walked into this factory everyone was really focused
0:25:23 > 0:25:26and got on with their work which I think is really good.
0:25:26 > 0:25:31For them to work here is like a treasure.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33They want to become better and better.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Pedro, tell me how you think Rhianna has done here?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40You need to pay attention to the details
0:25:40 > 0:25:43because sometimes you make some mistakes.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47You're always raring to go like, "What needs doing? I'm going to help. Rah, rah, rah."
0:25:47 > 0:25:49But sometimes that's also your downfall.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- Yeah, I think that's fair. - Would you employ Rhianna?
0:25:52 > 0:25:54No.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57What about Olly? How has Olly got on here?
0:25:57 > 0:26:01You're a funny guy but there is also a time and a place to do that here.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05It's work. But at the end, you did a good job.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- Thank you. - Would you employ Olly?
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- No. - Kassia?
0:26:11 > 0:26:14You were very fast and very quick,
0:26:14 > 0:26:17just don't get over confident over that.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Everybody has something to learn more.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Would you employ Kassia?
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Yes. For your amazing productivity and quality.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- Thank you.- You're wanted all over Brazil.- I know.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Mali? How's Mali got on?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Today you were brilliant.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36You had zero defect in the final task
0:26:36 > 0:26:39so the result was very, very good.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43You also had very good productivity. Congratulations.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- Thank you. - Would you employ Mali?
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Yes. Mali has a very good result and quality
0:26:50 > 0:26:54and therefore, at Sony, quality is first.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Quality is very, very important.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58I'm really happy. Thank you very much.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00How do you think Michael has got on here?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Yesterday he really didn't impress me.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Michael had a terrible start in the factory.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06Who's fired?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Michael is fired.
0:27:09 > 0:27:1255% of defect is unacceptable.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Your productivity was very low.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20However, you came back today and really turned around
0:27:20 > 0:27:25and you performed 99% of the quality.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26Wow, Michael.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Congratulations. We are very proud of you.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32So would you employ Michael?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34No.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Not yet?
0:27:35 > 0:27:36Not yet.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41You've gone from being fired...to delivering an excellent
0:27:41 > 0:27:43piece of work.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- A big change.- Got there in the end.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Eventually.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Next time on Show Me What You're Made Of, they hit the Brazilian
0:27:53 > 0:27:56beef industry. Keeping up with the cattle...
0:27:56 > 0:27:57Let's go, guys.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00So much to do, though.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01..handling meat.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03You're going to have to get used to it.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- Have they got the stomach for it? - They look really scared
0:28:06 > 0:28:08but they don't look like they know what's happening.
