Here is your camomile tea madame.

- Thank you.

We are currently living a historic

period of decisive decisions

concerning our future.

- We'll see how long he'll last.

He's handsome isn't he?

- Handsome?

He's an a**hole.

- Evaristo for god's sake!

Don't say such things

in front of the girls.

- But isn't there

so much freedom?

Don't tell me all of a sudden I am not

allowed to say what I think.

Well the socialists now say ETA will

leave terrorism. - Yes?

They won't stop killing

until we waste them all.

I'm leaving, I must be

at the command by 3:30.

Till later Evaristo.

- See you later.

Be very careful. - I will, do

you feel any better? - I'm ok.

Make sure you're home early tonight.

- Alright.

No, I'm not going but we'll see eachother

later as always.

Hey, do you guys have any hash?

- Let's see if you buy for

once in stead of always asking others.

- I'm penniless Urko.

Here, you owe me 2,000 ok?

- Don't worry, I'll pay

you end of the month.

Dealing drugs right?, does

your father give them to you?

- No, your f***ing mother does.

Hey Peru, don't be stupid.

It's hard to believe you can behave

with people this way.

Leave me alone.

- Let's get out of here.

I'm up to here, it's not my

fault my father's a cop.

- None of us choose our father, that's it.

- I know.

But i'm sure if we didn't have this

mess, you wouldn't be my friend

.- Shut up, don't be stupid,

we're in this together.

- Yes, but...

- If I didn't like you

I wouldn't have gotten

into nothing with you,

you think too much.

Let's go to Betty's place,

I want to get stoned.

- Me too.

Stand in front of your dad's photo.

Stop messing around.

- Let me see! What are you looking at?

It's funny to see you together,

to be honest you don't

resemble him that much.

- I'm more like my mother.

See, isn't she pretty?

- Yes. This Saturday I'm

going to pay her a visit.

It must be a drag having

your parents separated no?

- No way, worse when

they were together.

To tell you the truth it's

damn good stuff, but "El

Cojo" is a bastard, everytime

it's more expensive

.- You need to try and

understand, life is hard

and everyone's out for one's own.

- You think?

Don't get too comfortable,

soon I'm leaving for work.

Poor Urkito, always

the first to vomit.

- It feels good to vomit.

With this stuff it's easy.

These guy's are amateurs.

- It's always the same for who starts.

Well Urko have you vomited a lot?

- Yes, more than enough.

Don't you say it's

better to inject it?

- If there's not enough

money to buy a lot yes.

- Of course, you've got

more than enough right?

Don't exaggerate, it's hard

work to earn my money.

- Betty, did you ask if there's

any place for me? Yes, they said they

didn't need any more girls, sorry.

You're also going

to prostitute?

- Shut up, I work in a

massage parlor understand?

Sure, giving

massages down below.

I'm fed up with you, if you weren't Paco's

friend you wouldn't be allowed here.

- What a mess you two, what a mess.

I feel great.

Your wife suffers from a carcinoma in

the ovaries in a metastatic phase.

In a situation like

this any surgical

intervention may cause her

to suffer pointlessly.

But her pains become more and

more unbearable each day.

Is there no way to avoid them?

- She should continue with the

injections I have prescribed to her.

Please understand, this is all we

can do to avoid her suffering.

Paco, do you have any hash?

- Sure, how much do you want? 2,000 worth.

Is it good? - Very good.

- You know you can trust us.

Here, it's best if

you keep the money.

- It's always me who has

to play the banker.

Look who's there.

- Who? Mikel Orbea, the sculptor.

Yeah, the f*ggot.

- But he's alright no?

Ask him if he wants to buy any hash.

I know what he wants to buy.

Paco we need the cash.

- Why don't you go? He's better with you.

You always leave me to do everything.

Hi Mikel.

- Hi Paco. Would you like buy any hash?

Take a seat.

- I'm in a hurry. But take a seat.

How much do you want?

- I've got no cash on me, you'd

have to accompany me home. No way.

Last time it wasn't that bad.

- I told you I'm not doing it anymore.

Alright alright.

I need the money, but not like that.

- You prefer to sell drugs? Yes.

Hey sit down.

At least allow me to buy you a drink.

- Make it only one.

You know, even though you're

a f*ggot, you're a nice guy.

- Well, you too, even

though you're a cop's son.

You are anti-military right?

- Look, being Basque from

Badajoz it's enough having

served with them to know

you despise the army.

You know I don't care

about such things.

It's likely I'll end up in the army.

- Do you want to? No.

Then how come?

I don't really have a choice.

Would you like some?

- Is it cocaine? No, heroin.

I'll pass.

So you're on the hard stuff

?, No less than heroin.

- There's nothing like it, hash,

anfetamines, LSD, none come close.

- What's up?, it

hits high right?

More than that, it brings you peace.

- Peace? Yes, peace, nonsense right

?, that peace that everyone always

talks about you find just like that.

Sniffing a bit of powder.

And you feel, at peace.

- Now I understand everything,

that's why you're

running wild chasing

money everywhere. Yes.

But don't you realize that...

- Alright alright. I don't need preaching.

I don't have louses, heroin makes you itch.

It's a nice feeling, it's

nice to scratch yourself.

- Right. I know it's dangerous,

but I can control myself.

I'm not going to get hooked.

Hi. - Hi, where have you been?

Out with some friends.

I'm going to the pharmacy,

your mothers' pains

have returned and she's

out of injections.

- If you like I can go.

- No, let's go together, I feel like a walk.

The pharmacy on the

corner is open on duty.

Good evening, how

may I help you?

- Good evening, a box of pethidine please.

Do you have a prescription?

I seem to have left it at home.

- I'm sorry, but pethidine

contains morphine and

without a prescription I

cannot sell it to you.

- Shall I go home and get it?

It's ok. Look, I am a Captain

of the Guardia Civil.

- Ok, wait one moment.

You'll soon feel better.

Paquito, go to bed.

- Sleep well. If god so wishes Paquito.

Good night father.

- Good night, turn off the

light in the hall, not like yesterday.

- Sure.

I probably should have

told the boy off.

- Why? What do you mean why?, look

at the time he's come home at.

He has me very concerned.

Something's wrong.

- At his age exercise

and more sun is

needed, but here, always raining, the only

thing he can do is go from bar to bar.

I hope he can achieve his degree, so he

can be accepted in the military academy.

There he'll become a man and

will have no more trouble.

Do you really believe

that's the solution?

- Of course, make no mistake.

Besides, young

people today have a

hard time finding work.
