Overdose Page #4

people who've corrupted him into this.

We can both agree on that.

Look, I'm going to introduce

you to Lieutenant Alcntara.

He's been working in narcotics for

years and knows that world well.

Did you bring your sons photo?

- Yes.

Here you are.

The Colonel explained to you

that we must be very cautious.

We'd best avoid any scandal.

- Of course, I'll interrogate a

few youngsters, they'll give

us the leads we need.

Will you show them my sons photo?

Don't worry Captain, the youngsters I know

have learned to keep their mouths shut.

- Anyway I would like to be

present for questioning.

You don't mind right Lieutenant?

Of course not Captain.

Well, know him?

- No, I don't know him.

Are you sure? Look well.

Yes, not at all. I don't know him.

Let's now talk seriously.

Don't make me lose my patience.

Don't look at me!

You sold him the drugs right!?

- No. But you do know who did right?

I know nothing I swear!, I

swear!, I know nothing.

It seems unbelievable, I

considered you a good boy.

You're going to make me angry!

Where can we find that boy?

- I don't know, I haven't seen

him for ages. But you know

him perfectly well correct?

I already told you yes, but...

- You know him because you sold

him drugs!, isn't that so?

No. I never sold him anything.

- Then tell me who did. I would if I knew.

But I don't f***ing know.

Juanra, talk with Juanra.

- With who? Juanra Ramrez.

You already know him.

- Sure, sure I do. Let's go.

How's it going Juanra?

- Please Alcntara, release me.

Desperately in need are we?

Let me leave, I haven't

done anything wrong.

- We can still hold

you for another

twenty four hours, and up to ten days if

we charge you with the antiterrorism law.

But why? I can't tell you anything,

it's been ages since I've seen

the cops son, I mean, Paco.

That's the name everyone knows him by.

Look, pure heroin. Straight from Thailand.

I believe you don't know where he's hiding,

but you do know who sold him drugs.

- He went often to Baracaldo,

to Cojo's house.

El Cojo?

- Yes. You're not lying are you?

No! No way.

- Do you wish to ask him

anything else Captain?

I am going to release you.

If you dare to mention what you've spoken

about here with us, you'll pay.

- Yes lieutenant, don't worry.

Who is this 'Cojo'?

- Captain, El Cojo and his

wife are well known to us.

Then why didn't you bring

them in for questioning?

We didn't deem it necessary.

- Well I don't understand, if this

person is such a notorious dealer

why he wasn't brought in.

Take responsibility

Captain, El Cojo and his

people are trustworthy.

I understand Lieutenant.

Anyhow I wish for them to

be questioned immediately.

He was always with Urko.

He'll certainly know where to find him.

- Who is that?

He's Martn Aramenda's son.

- Martn Aramenda? Yes, the politician.

Paco is involved with

Aramenda's son?

- Yes, they are good

friends, always together.

Does that boy also take drugs?

Of course!, and plenty of it.

- Surely Urko will know where he is.

May we go now?, we've left our

baby with a neighbour and...

- Okay you can leave, but pay attention,

we may be needing more details.

As you wish Lieutenant.

- And be careful, I don't

want you to have any more

contact with my son. Don't make me

personally have to blow your brains out.

Take it easy Captain,

Lieutenant Alcntara knows well

that on more than one occasion

we've been very useful.

- That's what makes me

feel sick, that people

like you can be useful

to the Civil Guard.

Go on leave.

Well couple!, was it a boy or a girl?

- Boy. And well yes?

Yes, thanks.

- Take care! Bye.

See you!

- Bye.

Well Captain what now?

Should we bring in Aramenda's son?

- Yes, of course. That could complicate

things a little don't you think?

I don't care.

- In cases like these it's

best to use another method.

- Which method do you mean?

Well, two or three experienced

men in civilian clothes go out

and find the boy, then take him

to a discrete location and use

the only efficient procedure to make him talk.

Naturally those

men will never identify themselves

or jeopardize the body.

I don't like that method.

Yes it's true, I see no reason to deny it.

I'm a good friend of Pacos,

and was certain sooner or later

I was going to be brought here.

How come you were so sure?

- It's just well, many people

say they're being arrested and

asked about Paco.

Apparently those youngsters

aren't as discrete as

you thought Lieutenant.

What are they saying?

- Well that they've been beaten up.

But they couldn't

say anything because they don't have

any idea as to where Paco's hiding.

But you know where he is right?

- No, I don't know.

Come in.

- At your command, sir.

Excuse me Captain, Martn

Aramenda is outside.

He wishes to speak with you at once.

Tell him to come in.

Follow me please.

It's that son of a b*tch

right?, Martn Aramenda.

- Yes, what the hell

is he doing here.

Stop beating around the bush and

tell me why you've detained my son.

What is he accused of?

What has he done?

Would you mind rolling

up your sleeves?

Come on. I want your

father to see your arms.

Look, scars from the needle.

Your son is a heroin addict.

- What are you saying?

Us fathers are always the

last ones to find out.

Look.

What is this?

Come on, tell me what this is from.

Why are you so quiet.

Is it true what they are saying?

We can fill you in as to every

detail Mister Aramenda.

Your son has been addicted

to heroin for months.

- But, how did he buy it?

He never has any money.

In lack of money,

they chose to deal.

Yes, deal.

- I can see you accuse

him of serious crimes,

but I advise you I am

prepared to defend my son!

I understand you. I also defend my son.

That is the reason behind

this unpleasant reunion.

- What do you mean? It seems your son

and mine are the best of friends.

They're classmates from the academy.

But from what I understand,

they've only seen eachother.

Isn't it so Urko?

- No father.

Paco and me are good friends.

Such good friends that they've been

shooting up heroin together for months.

I believe mister Aramenda that

you and I should speak privately.

- Fine, but only when it's

not in such premises.

It's best no one finds out about this.

- Yes, it's obvious we both wish to

avoid any scandal. But at the moment

you've mobilized the whole Civil Guard.

I had no other option,

my son has disappeared

and I have to find

him any way I can.

That's why I questioned your son.

- What did Urko tell you?

That he knows nothing,

but I'm sure he's lying.

If you could talk

to him perhaps...

- I'm sorry but don't count on me for that.

I know your kind hate us...

- but I hoped you could be able to

distinguish my feelings from my uniform.

Why on earth do you ask

me to distinguish when

you are not even capable

of doing so yourself.

If you want to find your

son look for him, but

on your own, and leave
