Overdose Page #6

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 fact that I'm a f*ggot?

Now you know, I'm a f*ggot.

- What did you do with Paco!?

Where do you know him from!?

Calm yourself Captain,

you're not at the station.

I advise you as well to not pull

your gun out here neither, things

may get difficult.

Don't you think so Martn?

- It's best we leave.

Yes. - We must continue searching for them.

Mikel, please, if you are made

aware of anything please contact me.

They could get in to big trouble.

They have a...

- Don't tell him anything!

We can't trust this guy.

- The captain is right.

Don't tell me anything, guys like me...

will never have the pleasure

of trust by the Civil Guard.

Who were they?

Nobodies, two despicable individuals.

I can't believe this, I

thought you were both clean.

- You know that's not so easy.

Don't come crying to us.

We don't want problems

with Pacos father.

He's got quite a temper.

- It's amazing that you're

afraid because of that,

considering the relationship

you have with the Civil Guard.

No more jokes.

Why have you come?, what do you want?

- We've come to hold you up and

take all the heroin you've got.

Come on Paco, did you get

that toy from your father?

- Ask no questions and give

over all the powder you've got.

Do what they're saying, they're

desperate and capable of anything.

- Yes, look at my hands

trembling, dangerous,

thinking of how easy it

is to pull the trigger.

Alright man, easy.

You're in luck, almost 100 grams.

First class stuff too.

At your command, Captain.

- Alcntara, what are you doing round here?

Do you know yet?

Know what?

- El Cojo and his wife.

Yes, of course.

I just heard it on the radio.

ETA apparently right?

- May we speak in private?

Well, let's go to my office.

Go ahead.

Look Captain...

we've done a ballistic analysis of the

shells found at El Cojo's apartment.

- What's been found? That they correspond

to the munition issued to the Civil Guard.

Well, it's not that strange.

Terrorists have robbed

many arms from our men.

Please allow me to ask

you a direct question.

Is your son well

controlled Captain?

- Absolutely, since he's returned

home, there have been no problems...

Anyhow, how dare you ask

me such a question?

- According to the

reports made by certain

witnesses, after the shots

were heard two young

boys were seen hurriedly

exiting the building...

one of them was blonde

and with curly hair.

There are thousands of

youngsters with such features.

Yes, sure.

I can see Lieutenant

that you are affected by

the deaths of such

valuable collaborators,

but don't worry, I am

responsible for my son.

- Please understand Captain...

I have lots of work to do Alcntara.

You may leave.

At your command Captain.

Martn, you have a call...

Haven't you explained I'm busy?

Sure, but he says to tell

you it's doctor Torres...

Please excuse me.

I'm afraid the boys may be implicated

in an extremely serious matter...

over the phone I

can't reveal much more.

Yes, we must see eachother right away.

- In fifteen minutes then.

I'm sorry but I must leave, I may

be away some time. Anyhow, this

afternoon you're due in parliament.

- I don't think I'll be able to...

what's wrong?, are you got

trouble with your son again?

- I apologize, but at the moment

I can't explain anything.

It's likely I will be obliged

to turn in my resignation soon.

Gee, look at you two, why don't you go

out for some air? You've been shooting

up non stop for four days now, you're

going to kill yourselves at this rate.

Maybe some music will

liven you up a little.

Another one?

He's dead.

What can we do?

Don't leave Paco! Don't leave me alone...

Mister Aramenda, I would like

express my sincere condolences...

- Don't say anything Captain,

I appreciate you coming.

Please, wait for me outside.

Leave us alone, and may no one disturb us.

I've spoken with the forensic,

although a full autopsy is yet to

be made it seems clear your

son died from an overdose.

- Yes...

this is what I've also been told.

The reports made by that girl don't seem

very compromising, apart from the fact

that they were apparently at her house for

a number of days. Injecting non stop...

I'm sure they got the drugs from that

dealer duo who they killed themselves.

- You have told no one that

your son stole your gun right?

Not yet...

But I can't continue hiding it, I am

committing a serious misdemeanor.

No one can enter here.

- I am Captain Torrecuadrada's son.

Yeah right...

Let him come in.

It wasn't my fault, I would

have helped to avoid it but...

- I know, but how can you not

be to blame for anything.

Damn Urko, we've gone way too far...

but always together...

I don't understand why this

time you've gone for it alone.

How many deaths we have in

our lives Captain...

so many.

Where's my gun?

How many bullets are missing?

- Two.

That leaves five.

More than enough to shoot you, and myself.

It would be a heroic way

to exclaim one's honour.

Aren't you afraid?

- No...

I prefer you shooting me

than putting me in jail.

Where are the drugs you stole?

Here, there's almost 90 grams.

And this rubbish can destroy a life?

- You mean the powder?, or the hat?

Very funny...

here is all the evidence that can

be used against you...

the murder weapon...

and the loot of the robbery...
