Overdose Page #3

continue to work tirelessly

in favor of this

negotiating process.

I read in the newspaper that

the son of that captain...

studies at your same academy.

Yes...

Do you know him?

Only by sight...

What a throat!, it doesn't stop yelling!

- It's born hooked. I'm not joking.

No sh*t. - Really, since Pilar hasn't

stopped shooting during pregnancy...

You can't imagine, the

doctor knew immediately.

Prenatal heroin addiction!

Good thing he's a trusted

Doctor otherwise...

Come on wake up!

Can't you hear the baby?

- Yes, it's just that I'm exhausted, It

didn't let me sleep a minute last night.

Alright Cojo give us the merchandise,

we've got to get going.

That's exactly what I wanted

to talk to you about.

- What's wrong?

Try and understand, Paco's

now famous, he's in

newspapers, on TV, all Bilbao

knows he's the son of

Captain Torrecuadrada.

A few angry clients

have already called me.

- If that's the way things are I can be the

one who gives face, I don't care. - I do.

Everybody knows you're friends,

they would be alarmed with you too.

But...

- No way.

You'll have to stop for the time being.

I don't want to abandon

you, but I can't mess up.

Give me some paper to fix this up. -

You, where's the paper? - In the kitchen.

There you are.

It's finally stopped crying.

You b*tch!

I told you not to do that!

- It won't shut up!, ever!,

I can't take it any more!,

my head's going to explode!

Don't you hear it?!

- This is all your fault!, explode

from heroin, see if I care!

This is all your fault!

Who got me in all this?!, who?!

Imbecil!

See!, you need to

control yourselves!

- Cojo don't try and confuse us!, we

know you more than well. Let's go.

Paco!, wait.

Where are you going?

- Bye.

Mother are you ok?

- No. Isn't father with you?

No, he's on duty.

What's wrong mother?

- I can't take this pain any

longer, I just can't.

Have you had an injection?

Yes, but it doesn't seem to help.

I am waiting for

your father to return so

he can give me another.

Where does father keep the injections?

There, in the cupboard.

Did I hurt you?

- No, in the beginning the

injections used to hurt, but

now I almost enjoy them.

Yes, that happens.

When did you learn to give

injections?, you're good at it.

- Well, I can't remember, oh!,

actually on a lifeguard course.

Take care.

- Wait a moment, stay a while with me.

What's the matter Paco?

Nothing, why do you ask?

- For the last few months

you've not been yourself.

Well, I guess I'm growing up...

Does that scare you?, it does because

you don't want to be like your father.

No, I don't want to be like him.

Then tell him Paco.

Tell him once and for all.

- Yes, I'll probably end up

telling him, everything.

Excuse me mother, I'm

going to the bathroom.

I'll be right back.

Paco?, are you still awake?

- Yes. Is something wrong?

Mother was in pain.

Open up Paco.

Your mother tells me you

gave her an injection.

- Yes, she was in a lot of pain.

You only gave her one right?

Of course.

- It's very strange,

five vials are missing.

What's wrong with your arm?

- I could come up with any excuse, but what

for, sooner or later you

will have to find out.

- Find out about what?

The vials are in that box.

One of them is empty.

I just injected it.

But why?

Have you gone crazy?

I would have preferred heroin.

But you know, sometimes

you have to settle for

the next best thing.

I've been shooting up for a few months.

I'm a heroin addict.

You tell me like this? So relaxed?

How do you want me to tell you?

What's happening? - Eulalia go back to

bed. - I know what's wrong with the boy.

She knows? - No, she hasn't any idea.

- Paco doesn't want to be a soldier.

That's why he's been so distressed lately.

He didn't have the confidence to tell you.

- He's told me enough. He doesn't have

the dignity to wear this uniform.

We aren't talking

about that mother.

- Leave us alone Eulalia.

Let's go in the lounge.

I wish to speak with the boy in private.

How did you get into this?

Who taught you this addiction?

- No one. What do you mean no

body?, there must be someone.

Someone must have dealt you the drugs.

- Don't look for culprits.

What I need is your help.

But what the hell can be done to help you?

You can get anything you

want from a pharmacy.

- You don't expect me to...

If I shoot in small amounts,

I can slowly quit.

Bit by bit, until I

can manage to stop.

I can't stop all of a sudden.

The man who dealt me the

drugs doesn't want to

sell to me anymore.

I'm desperate, really father.

So there was someone who

sold you the drugs!

- I'd prefer to forget all of that, but...

Who is this individual!?

What does it matter...

- I asked you a question!

I'm telling you that from this moment

on you are no longer

speaking to your father,

yet with a captain

of the Civil Guard!

Tell me immediately who this person is!

- Fine!

I'm speaking with a captain

of the Civil Guard!, but

you're not speaking with a

snitch or an informant!

- Tell me the name

of this individual!

What are you going to do in

order for me to tell you?

Use the same method you

use down at the station?

- Idiot!

I told you to leave us to talk in private.

Return to your room immediately!

Well, do you prefer to tell me everything

now or at the police station!?

- Are you going to take me handcuffed?

If necessary I'll take you at gunpoint!

If you have the balls

shoot, because I'm

leaving this house right now.

- Don't move!

Evaristo for god's sake!

Paco, obey your father.

Don't be afraid mother,

we all know it's very

dangerous to run when the

Civil Guard says halt.

But I am his son.

Hey there hero!

- F*** off!

What are you going to do?

- If you don't mind I'd like

to stay here for a while.

You may stay as long as you like.

But you know on what conditions.

No shooting up or deals with dealers.

Can you commit to that?

Don't worry, I'll get clean.

What I don't want is to go back home.

Or be out and about at the risk

of encountering my father.

Okay Torrecuadrada, your

son wouldn't have gotten

into this unless someone

would have led him.

But keep in mind me must

address this cautiously.

It wouldn't be appropriate if this

were to turn in to a scandal.

Take in to account your

son has appeared famously

in the headlines these

last few weeks, as a hero.

- I am the first one interested in

keeping me and my family's honour, but

we cannot consent these corrupters

to continue operating with impunity.

No matter how they are

protected by democratic laws!

- Careful, careful.

Don't get too sticky,

you know the socialist

government does its best

to get along well with us.

The ministry of home affairs spends

its day praising us and Felipe

Gonzlez as well. Things are much

better than with Franco. - Yes.

But that's just because of fear.

Nothing else.

Anyhow, what concerns me the

most at the moment is my son.

I want him to come home. And to find those
