Call Girl Page #4

I know how much you helped

me when I needed most.

If you hadn't started me on the job,

I would be still living in that horrible

hostel with no windows.

But it's enough. Do you understand?

Two years of this is enough.

Do you remember the three rules I told you

about when you had your first client?

Never accept a drink that

I don't see being served.

Always leave the door unlocked.

And don't keep anything in my wallet

that can identify me.

There's one more.

Which one?

Never fall in love with a client.

And, above all, never

let a client fall for you.

Because, one day...

He's going to realize that he doesn't

want to spend the rest of his life

with a woman who blew

guys off for 50 Euros.

And those people,

those who say they love us,

are always the ones who hurt us the most.

Water...

Ok, yeah, yeah

Unbelievable!

Ok, ok. Yeah, yeah, yeah...

We have him right here and try to make

him talk some more... Ok, thanks.

What?

- You're not going to believe this.

- Try me.

They found a third body

along with the other two.

- Get the f*** out of here.

- I'm serious.

And the Coroner already has an ID.

Joo Gonalves, a former councilman

for the environment in that shitty town.

His wife reported him missing

about six months ago.

What?

And he didn't even bother burying

the bodies in different locations?

F***ing lazy bastard, isn't he?

There's more. They found the poor guy's

wallet at this motherf***er's house.

And stashed in a drawer, were

over 10.000 Euros in cash,

some smack, cannabis and cocaine.

You know what? This is warming up.

It's getting interesting.

- Are you ok by yourself?

- I'm not by myself, she's there.

I'll make a couple of phone calls, maybe

I'll come up with something else, ok?

Impressive.

We know everything, man.

Are you confessing or what?

So now you kill politicians?

What's that about?

Nothing. Same as others.

No. No. Not 'same as others'.

This one is different.

This one is a politician.

Why did you kill him?

God's will.

God's will?

You're kidding me, right?

Listen to me, just listen.

If you don't talk, I'll find out.

And if I find out, you're f***ed.

You'll be so f***ed, you f***ing junkie.

I'm going to ask you again.

Why did you kill him?

Who paid you?

God knows.

Oh, f*** me! Neves?

Vasco, come on!

Thanks.

Sorry about the mess,

but ever since Joo's gone...

Things haven't been easy.

How can I help you?

Your husband's missing case file

was just reopened,

and we want to ask you

a couple of questions.

- I told everything to the local police.

- Yes, but you haven't told us.

Joo was suspicious about

corruption at city hall.

He was going to report them.

Did you two get along?

That's all lies.

Joo didn't run away with no mistress.

This people, this town, they're the worst.

Want anything to drink?

Water's fine, thanks.

- You haven't been waiting for long?

- Minister, how are you?

- You drink?

- I'll have...

Champagne. Get us two flutes

and bring them to the table, please.

Let's go in, I still have three

lunches to go to today.

The thing about golf:

It really opens the appetite.

And if you're not careful...

Do you like golf?

Well, I mean...

Golf is the best way to keep in shape!

And excellent to clear you mind,

believe me!

For all I know, you have a chance to

have a green right at your door!

But it seems that you're more

interested in that Hospital.

At our age, we tend to worry

about heart problems, right?

And the damn prostate...

Hello, how are you?

Mr Architect!

But you know what I say?

I'll rather drive to golf than go by

ambulance to the Hospital!

How are you?

So, talk to me.

Minister...

Do you know how many hospitals

I had to close last year?

Fifteen! How do you expect me

to give the funds to build a new one?

But it seems you're lucky.

There's this company interested

in financing a private hospital,

and that way, it's nobody's business!

Their project will bring thousands

of people to your region,

so the Government will have

no problems giving the licenses.

And, just between me and you, Meireles,

they are friendly people willing to invest

considerably in Portugal. Do you follow?

And all they want is some land, isn't it?

But I've heard you're holding on to some

Cork Oaks, right? Tell me about that!

- Well, Minister...

- Why don't we order first?

It feels I have a kitten inside of me.

Sure...

Joo suspected that the Mayor

was doing favors for money.

How do you think he

paid for his campaign?

And the ones that built the Home are the

same who built his swimming pool.

- Is that all?

- No.

Joo also told me about this company.

That's building a luxury hotel.

In protected land.

- With golf and that kind of things.

- What company is that?

I think it's called Herdade da Fazenda.

That's it, Herdade da Fazenda.

Joo was against it.

That's why they got rid of them.

Here's my card. Any problem,

don't hesitate to call us, ok?

Cell phone is in the back.

Didn't your husband have documents,

anything to support those accusations?

I don't know.

He had suspicions and

it was a lot of money.

That's why they killed him.

How come you're so

sure he was murdered?

I've told you. He was willing to talk.

And I've been threatened,

calls in the middle of night.

Sometimes, I wake up and fell

there's someone in the house.

Are you going to help me?

If they find out I've been talking...

Herdade da Fazenda?

But that's a closed file.

I even thought they've given up!

So did I!

- But our answer is still the same, right?

- Sure, of course.

Anyway, we'll talk about that later.

- Are you free for lunch on Sunday?

- Yeah.

We'll devour a stew at

Pata Negra, just the two of us.

- Done.

- Bye.

- Mr President? Hello.

- Hello, Alice, how are you?

One more.

Any news from your son?

Still trying to make a living in Lisbon,

but it isn't easy.

Young men always find a way.

What brings you around here?

I wanted to thank you for putting tar

on the road by my house.

- No problem at all, Alice.

- I brought you some sausages.

Alice, one day I'll get

mad of you, you hear?

I'll just take it because I don't want

to offend. Give us a kiss. Bye.

- Thank you so much.

- Go on, bye

- Good afternoon.

- Goodbye, Alice.

- Paula, this is for you.

- Thank you so much, Mr President.

Hold my calls and don't let

anybody in, all right?

Don't worry, Mr President. Don't forget,

your father's birthday is later today.

Oh, that's right, my father's birthday.

- I need more time, to study the facts.

- Sure.

I asked for the reports,

but I'm not making any promises.

- See about that.

- No promises.

I trust you.

But Mouros, there is

another reason for this call.

That night we were together

with that friend of yours...

- Vickie?

- Vickie, that's right.

I don't have her contact and I wanted

to thank her. She was so friendly.

She said she was going to call you.

She said she was going to...

Great, that's great.
