Pusher Page #3

Synopsis: Frank is a drug pusher on the roll until he makes a huge deal with dope that he hasn't paid for and he gets busted by the police. He manages to dump the dope in a nearby lake but he owes his supplier a lot of money (not a nice guy to owe money to). Now we follow Frank in his quest to raise money in the underworld of Copenhagen.

Have you warmed up a bit?

What were you doing

in that rental car?

Swedish rental car...

- Who were the Swedes?

- You flew out of that car.

You stampeded a cop,

with a brown cloud around you...

and made us wade out in the water

to get you and a bag.

Do you know how deep the sh*t is

under your feet?

- What kind of dope was it?

- Man, you gotta talk slower.

- Was it 200 grams?

- I don't know anything about it.

In 1991 you got six months

for possession of cocaine. Correct?

- I was in, I can't remember why.

- Can we agree you're in deep sh*t?

You're in deep.

Someone must want their money.

- You got anything to say?

- I'd like a private bath next time.

- Should we let him think about it?

- It's filthy in there.

They pay you sh*t, so they must have

enough left for cleaning ladies.

THURSDAY:

It's cleaning time.

You can do the rest yourself.

Where did it come from,

and who was buying it?

Still nothing to say?

Come on, Frank, you're wasting time.

You can't hold me more than

What time is it?

- You only got a few minutes left.

- There's some people outside...

- You don't know anything.

- No, that's why you're here.

You don't know sh*t...

Christ, you guys know nothing.

We don't know anything?

What was it Tonny said?

- You do a lot of business with him?

- Look what I have here.

A signed deposition from Tonny,

your good buddy.

- Is it a solid partnership?

- Signature... deposition...

Come on, Frank.

Don't play the hero.

Come on, Frank.

Come on, Frank.

Say something.

It's for your own good.

We know there's a lot of people

waiting for you.

- Nothing, huh?

- Take your clothes and piss off.

The time is 2:
00 p.m., it's Thursday

the 22nd, and you're released.

If you want to talk,

you know where we are.

Milo...

I'm sorry, Milo.

Frankie...

What a surprise, Frankie.

I'm sorry

I didn't show up yesterday.

- We had a deal? I don't remember.

- I was gonna come with the money.

Radovan, can you remember

if we had an appointment yesterday?

Come here.

Sit down, Frank.

What then?

I don't have the dope,

and I don't have the money.

Why don't you have the dope,

and why don't you have the money?

- The police got me yesterday.

- You were busted?

Frank was busted!

With 200 grams, yeah?

And you're not in jail, or solitary,

or whatever it's called?

That's strange. What do I say?

That's strange.

It's in the lake.

All the dope's in the lake.

- The dope's in the lake?

- It's in the lake.

My best friend in Copenhagen.

Frank...

Tell me some more.

- There isn't...

- Help me.

We're you busted or not?

Come on, I told you I was busted.

- If you were, show me your papers.

- I don't have papers. What papers?

You don't get papers

if they don't find anything.

It's like a bad joke...

Should I believe you, Frank?

What do I do now?

You owe me 180 now.

It's not 180, it's 120.

How much did we say?

The deal was 120,

and I owe you 50 from last week.

No, no...

No, Frankie.

It was 120. It was.

But now it's 180.

You want to ask why?

Ask...

- Why?

- It's for the story you brought me.

You see, it keeps getting bigger.

So, it's 180...50 now.

Frank...

What can you do?

Can you bring me some money now?

If Radovan comes with me now,

I can get you 50,000.

- I just gotta take care of something.

- Can you do it?

There's a guy who owes me 50.

We can do it now.

- And the rest?

- Next week.

Okay. 50 now...

Do you want coffee?

- I'll be back in a little while.

- Take care.

What's goin' on?

What are you doin'?

What did you tell the cops?

What are you doin'?

What the f*** are you doin'?

What did you tell the cops?

F*** you!

Take it easy, Frank.

What did you say?

Did you say something?

- Is he dangerous?

- No.

He's just the kind

who buys and buys without paying.

Either he's not home,

or says he'll pay tomorrow.

You gotta be on 'em 24 hours a day,

always reminding them what they owe.

There was this Turk who f***ed up

and was into Milo for 30,000.

So I had to go out there.

I'd been there a few times...

and asked for the money nicely.

In the end I had to go out there

with a knife.

I stuck it into his knees and tore

it up, so the kneecap came out.

I'll tell you, Frank, I think a lot

about doing something else.

- Just leaving this all behind.

- What would you do?

Milo's a good cook, right?

Especially cakes.

But I'm a good cook, too.

Shish kebab. That's my specialty.

You gotta try it sometime.

I get special spices for it.

There's nothing else like it.

I mean it, I'm thinking about

opening a restaurant.

I haven't told anyone but you,

not even Milo.

It's top secret.

But it's got to be the right place.

- In town?

- Yeah, if I can make it all happen.

Then Milo can deliver the desserts.

Don't tell me you like that stuff.

No way... He can't bake.

- He doesn't eat them himself.

- I know why.

- Frank...

- Do you have the money or not?

- I thought we agreed...

- F*** that, I need it now.

- I can get it on the first.

- I need it now, not on the first.

Don't touch me!

Let's see some f***in' money.

You've owed me 52 for a long time.

Why haven't you paid?

I had some problems.

There's some things...

You think it's a joke?

- It's not a game anymore.

- Calm down.

If you don't help me,

I can't help you. I need it now.

- You used to play with my brother.

- Does your brother have the money?

Then how can he help? He'll rip your

kneecaps out if you don't pay up.

What am I gonna do with your watch?

Deal with it, Joakim. It's not

my money. I can't help you anymore.

Take it easy...

You're a swindler, huh?

Can you get it, or can't you?

Listen, I know this sand-n*gger,

he can get the money.

F***in' Paki-lover...

It's my money, do you understand?

Can you get the money now?

Right now? Then I have an idea...

- You can get the money at the bank.

- He can't rob a bank.

- Anyone can rob a bank.

- He can't even hold that thing.

- It's 3:
45, how can he rob a bank?

- That's it, the problem's solved.

He can't rob a bank,

he doesn't have the balls.

We just have time.

What bank do we rob?

I don't care.

- What bank do you use?

- No, he can't rob his own bank...

- There's nothing else around.

- We'll do the first one we see.

- What about...

- Let's go.

- Easy, easy...

- Take it easy, man.

If you popped one of us, the other

would've blown your brains out.

It's time to go.

Can I have a line?

- Yeah, when you give us the money.

- Give him one now.

- Just give him one...

- He gets sh*t until it's done.

It's 3:
45, we gotta go.

Come on, Paki-lover.

So, what do we do now?

I'll tell Milo about it. Make sure

you have the money tomorrow.

- Don't forget.

- I won't.

- Sorry...

- Hi, Frank.

- What's up?

- What's up?

- You doin' all right?

- Doin' fine. How about you?

- Okay.

- Good.

- What the f*** have I been hearing?

- What did you hear?

- What the f*** did you do to Tonny?

- What did you hear?

I heard

you f***ed him up real good.
