Overdose Page #2

Synopsis: In times of crisis people seek strong leaders and simple solutions. But what happens when their solutions are identical to the mistakes that caused the very crisis? 'Overdose' is the story of the greatest economic crisis of our age - the one that awaits us. The documentary traces the origins of the financial crisis and explores the eerie similarities with today's situation, where states like Greece, Iceland and even the U.S. seems to be in danger of collapsing. Among those interviewed are experts who were mocked when they predicted the current crisis. Other interviewees include Nobel laureate Vernon Smith and former US Comptroller General David Walker (I.O.U.S.A). The film is shot in the U.S., Sweden and Germany and makes extensive use of music, archive footage and graphics.

The army means a secure future.

Why did you two decide to shoot up?

- Money, girl.

- You'll see, just a bit of powder

equals three sniffed lines.

You go first.

- Alright give it here, tighten hard.

It sets my teeth on edge.

Leave it to me, I'll shoot you.

Well?, can you feel it?

The heart is going...

thump... thump... thump...

How is it?

Get ready. Your turn now.

I'm coming.

Who is it?

- Betty sends us.

Hi.

Come in.

Cut, cut.

Hi.

- Hi. Quickly, I'm working.

Bye.

- Bye.

Well done boys. Great job.

- It wasn't very hard, you

have a good clientele.

We know what we're doing.

Pilar, fetch two beers for the boys.

- Alright.

And, what about our commission?

- Easy, take it easy.

Here you are. There's more than one gram.

This is very little.

- Hey come on, surely you've

stuck your fingernails in

the folds of the customers.

None of that Cojo, we're legit.

- Here are the beers,

they're not very cold.

I need to watch my interests

boys, I'm to be a father.

Ok, but keep in mind we

are very good dealers.

Let's see where

else you can find

sons of cops and politicians.

- You'll see, we'll do

great things together.

Just don't get too hooked.

That's bad news.

- Don't worry, we can control

ourselves, we're not stupid.

I'm going to shoot one up now.

- Me too.

What are you saying you

b*tch?, you're about

to give birth and you

want to shoot up?

The baby won't come out if you keep up.

- I can't resist it.

You fool.

- Just a small one,

nothing's wrong with that.

I'm going to teach you a

lesson if you keep insisting.

Please bring the camomile.

- The bottle? Yes please.

Now everyone together, I'm

taking a photo. Get ready.

Hello? Hello mother how are you?

Everyone quiet, I can't hear.

Here we are, yes 18 years old.

He's now a man.

I'll put him on. Paco!, take the phone,

your grandmother wants to congratulate you.

How are you granny?

Thank you, of course I'm

studying, no, I don't

have a girlfriend yet.

Yes, I'd like to visit you

soon, maybe this summer.

And you, can't you come?

Alright don't exaggerate,

it can't be that bad.

Everything's calmer now.

Yes granny, thank you very much,

I'll pass you to my mother.

How are you? Yes I am ok, day by day, I

feel I'm much better. Yes, I have more

than enough encouragement.

What about yourself?, I can

imagine, that's great.

You have amazing memory, you

never forget anyone's birthday.

Very well, my regards and a hug to all.

I'll pass you to Evaristo.

Mother, the call will end up costing a lot.

Don't worry, we all take very

good care of eachother here.

Ok, pray if you like but

don't worry too much.

Look at the bags under Paco's eyes.

Yes, Paco you always have bags.

Don't be silly.

- Be quiet!, I can't hear anything!

So they've promoted Alfonso to general

?, where have they posted him?

Huesca?, nice post, I'll send him

a telegram congratulating him.

Can you hear me?,

the line's cut.

Sometimes I think the government

even controls our telephones.

Be careful Evaristo, you're drinking

too much and you're not used to it.

- Don't worry Eulalia,

it's the boy's birthday!

Come here Paco.

Come on!

- Yes, it will be great.

Wait there, you'll see what a

surprise Paco will give you.

Soon you'll grow a beard, and you'll be

able to leave a mustache as is proper.

- I already have a

few hairs here.

Few hairs, on the subject

of hair, I've noticed

you seem to scratch your

balls a lot lately.

What's up?, have you been messing around

with some whore that's given you lice?

Not at all. - Let's see, man to man,

how many have you had? - With none.

What do you mean?

Isn't it so easy these days?

- Maybe in Madrid, Bilbao...

Sure.

There's nothing but tomboy's here.

The guys are faggots.

They only know how to stuff themselves

with food and wine. That's them.

Made pigs.

- I don't know. Look son.

I'm going to give you the same present my

father gave me on my eighteenth birthday.

- What present?

Buy you a prostitute.

What?

- Sure, a good hooker, but

one of the expensive ones.

I want you to lose your virginity well.

- But...

Look in the newspaper

and find one you like.

- What's happening, for

when this surprise?,

we need to leave for school.

He's coming.

Paco hurry up.

These hairs need to be stretched

back a little.

You look untidy, come

on, go to the cupboard

and put it on.

We'll find some gel for

you in the meantime.

No, not there. the other one.

Attention!, I present

Captain Torrecuadrada!

Paco don't move, I'm going to take a photo.

Here he is, now a man.

Come on Paco, give your mother a kiss.

Oh it's you.

- I've got a job for you Betty.

But only if we go half half.

Well, don't you want to?,

- It's up to you.

It's been a long time since we haven't made

love, and now that your father's paying, I

don't know, I feel like it's a rip-off.

Your boy's taking his time.

It looks like Betty's doing a good job.

Well Betty's well served since

the boy takes after me!

The first hooker I had, no offense.

At the start she was very playful, 'how

cute', 'what a cute leg', 'who's going

to eat that which nobody's eaten yet'.

When I started, I didn't last very long.

Then after that, slowly,

I managed one and another,

another, another!

- Good heavens!

Let's say she was left quite lively!

But this isn't your boys' first

time, I could tell straight away.

- Be careful, sometimes

appearances can be deceptive!

I'm going to take this off since

it's unbearably hot in this place.

- The customers like

the heating high!

Look, there he is.

- Shall we leave? Let's go.

Have you payed the girl?

- Yes.

What do I owe you for the drinks?

- 5,000. If you prefer we accept visa.

No it's ok, here's a tip.

- Thanks darling, maybe

some time you could show

me a demonstration, you haven't lost

your touch over the years have you?

Let's go. But Paco?, what's wrong? -

Just a moment. - It must be dizziness.

The heating's up very high.

Girls, open the balcony

doors, let some air in.

- What's wrong with you Paco?

- Nothing nothing.

I've taken one drink too many.

- If you'd like to lay down a while.

No, we're leaving, it's ok I'm alright.

Are you sure you're alright?

- Yes, sure.

We don't want to scare your mother.

Watch out!

We have been informed that

it was the son of Captain

Torrecuadrada who through

an agile reflex managed

to save both his father's

life and his own.

Francisco Torrecuadrada, how old are you?

- I'm just 18.

How do you feel after such

a terrible incident?

- I don't know, well I feel

fear, nothing special.

Did you manage to see

the men in the car?

He's so high.

- I only saw the shots.

As a result of this incident

there have been various

political protests by

groups from the Basque

Country, the Abertzale

deputy politician Martn

Aramenda has made the

following declaration:

At this moment...

- Dad you're on TV!...

my party precisely because

of disagreements towards

armed struggle will
