Brigada Costa del Sol (2019) s01e01 Episode Script
Mentiras
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES No wonder people like this so much.
Everything is so different now.
When I was a kid, Torremolinos was a dump on the outskirts of Malaga.
It's still small, but it's different: skyscrapers, discotheques, Hollywood stars, hippies, fags Everything is new in the rest of the country, too.
Now we're a democracy, which means we get to choose between one pretty boy and another.
But if you turn off the TV and go outside, you'll realize it's still the same country: con artists, cheats, lookouts everyone's just trying to scrape by.
The underdogs have a rough life.
And the guys at the top are having a grand old time.
So just imagine what the underdogs want.
I'm a cop.
I can assure you we still have the same shit we had with Franco.
OK, not exactly the same.
Now there's something new: drug trafficking.
And now everyone knows this thanks to us.
Because this backwater town full of skyscrapers and discos started Spain's first special narcotics unit.
And, not to brag, but we made a huge splash.
And you know what? Me, I'm the fucking boss.
We came in with such a bang, half of Torremolinos wants me dead, including my colleagues.
I guess that explains why I've just been shot in the gut.
Looks grim, doesn't it? It's funny Six months ago, we nearly got canned, now everyone envies us.
That night changed our lives.
WELCOME TO TORREMOLINOS JUNE 1977 SIX MONTHS EARLIER That night, we'd come over from Almeria on duty, yours truly and that little angel next to me, Terrón.
He not only looks like an angel, he'll send you to heaven in one blow.
And this is Dandy, a car thief.
And that Mercedes isn't his.
But we weren't the only ones who were on his trail.
That mop-head was too.
Martín Pulido, The Hippie, Torremolinos Police Inspector.
He's the smartest guy I know, and the most annoying.
And they're the Pena brothers, proof that Torremolinos welcomes all sorts of tourists.
Put your jewelry in the bag or I'll shoot, is that clear? The necklace! Shut your mouth! And for this type of tourism, it's always high season here.
holdup on Manantiales Avenue at the Oma Casino.
Two men with guns have fled the premises.
K-3 to headquarters, I'm right nearby.
I'll be there in a minute.
This is Leo Villa, the apple of Torremolinos' eye.
And that's his Ford Capri.
We call it the fly car Police! when it opens, the dick comes out.
They went towards the disco in an orange Volvo.
-Did you see their faces? -No, but the guy who grabbed me had an army tattoo on his arm.
OK.
There's one more place I want to show you: La Carihuela.
Another person whose life changed that night: Owlet.
Oh, my little owl.
-You were gone a while.
-I had business.
LIES -Here, take this home.
-Give me that one too-- I'll take this one.
You're sure crabby today, Father.
Suit yourself.
Hey, Sole's coming over for dinner.
Tell you what, I'll make you a nice dinner to brighten up that sour face.
It's just enough, Chino.
Guess we're not eating tomorrow.
Tomorrow's another day, the night is long.
Sole, can you spare some change for a sandwich? I thought it was the guys who treated the ladies! -Come on! You just sold the fish! -No.
If I shortchange my aunt, she'll rip my hands off.
What are you doing with these deadbeats? If it isn't the dreamer! You'll make it big in Torremolinos.
I hope the day comes, so I can forget your starving faces.
Come on! My dad's back.
Hey, kid! Did your dad catch anything? He caught something.
Gentlemen, when this is over, I've reserved a table and a first-rate lobster at the best place in Torremolinos.
Keep your hands off the bread.
-Where are the goods? -They should be at the beach.
Here's where we come into play.
Two cops with guns about to catch the bad guys.
Meet me at the beach.
Put your hands up, slowly.
What's this? -Who the hell are you? -Police! -What are you, a traffic cop? -Hey, I said hands up! Who snitched? I'll kill him! -Freeze! Police! -We're on the force too! Hey! They're getting away, you idiot! Damn it! And there we have it, the start of a beautiful friendship.
Just look at us, such peace and harmony-- Give me the gun, damn it! Get out of the way! Get out! Get out, damn it! Get up! And here you have a superhero about to die in the line of duty.
Or a jackass with a death wish.
Are you crazy? He's a cop! Or maybe I just trust my dumb luck.
VOTE CENTER VOTE SUAREZ I did it! Grab the baskets! Hey, Chino What is this stuff, bro? Here's another one! Come on.
Let's go.
You really need to learn how to smoke, squirt! Haven't you seen actresses do it? What's taking my father so long? Did you see that car? No! No, this can't be happening! Owl! What's the matter, Owl? Let's go unload the merchandise! The merchandise they stole it.
What? While I was waiting, someone knocked me out.
What are you saying, Owl? Fucking hell! Do you realize the mess we're in? You tell me, brother! What the hell was I thinking? Are you cheating me, Owl? After I gave you a job? Don't talk to me like that, Reyes, or I'll kill you! Hey! Is this going to take all night? Hmm Owl says that someone stole the hash.
Owl.
Let's hear the owl hoot.
No! Son of a bitch! Owl! Owl! Let's beat it.
Beat it! Come on.
Where are you going? Yolanda? Father? Father? Father! Help! What happened? Father, no, no! Help! Help! Please help me! If it isn't the pickpockets, it's the punks or the dealers, we just can't get any sleep.
That night, the bastards got away from me, as they often do.
But if we had caught them, Owlet would still be dancing and smoking contraband cigarettes, not out there seeking revenge.
I'm convinced Dandy's been hustling hashish.
And now he's dealing with armed criminals.
We have to start taking drug trafficking seriously, ask the narcotics brigade to start a unit here-- Listen, do you have any proof that Dandy's trafficking hashish? I'm convinced he is.
-Convinced? -Yes.
What is this, The French Connection? Drug trafficking Give me a break, man.
Good morning.
Now we're all here.
Commissioners Moreno and Bolano.
Are those your bosses? -The bald guy is mine.
-The other's from Malaga.
I know him.
-Were you stationed in Malaga? -Yeah.
And you're in luck, I'm the one who's going to get shit.
-Who's first? -Me.
It's been a pleasure, Hippie, I hope I never see you again.
Bye.
Inspector Bruno López, "The Anarchist," long time no see.
I moved to Almeria two years ago, sir.
When we kicked you out of Malaga.
Did you know that President Suárez was going to close his campaign on that stage you destroyed? There are no drugs in Spain, Pulido! Our kids are healthy! The real issue here is drug-related crime.
It's a model investigation, we've been after Dandy for two weeks.
Who caused the accident? The culprits, sir.
What is this? While we were chasing the culprits, Bruno risked his life to save civilians.
I destroyed the stage while driving an official vehicle.
Go ahead, call my boss in Almeria and report me.
I think he deserves a medal.
Since you could care less, we may have to dismiss you.
OK, so be it Meanwhile, let me go catch those sons of bitches.
Bye! See you later! Come on! Hurry! It's obvious you don't have a family.
Hey! Stay away from the register! We both know why.
How are you, honey bear? I haven't seen you all night.
-I'm OK.
-Did you hear what happened? Yeah.
I'll get it.
Hi, may I help you? Hi, Owlet, honey.
How are you? Why are you calling so late? What? What happened? On the beach? Oh, dear Lord! Good morning.
Sweetheart.
Your father was such a good man.
What a terrible tragedy! May I see him? -Thanks for coming, Uncle Reyes.
-It's the least I could do, we were boyhood friends.
If you need anything, just let us know.
Look! -Good morning.
-Good morning.
We questioned the neighbors, but we can't get anyone to talk.
Of course not, who's going to tell you they stabbed my father? Sooner or later, the culprits will appear.
And that's it? -Doesn't anyone care? -Yolanda, calm down.
Look, miss, I don't mean to disrespect the deceased, but they called him Owl because he stayed up nights to smuggle.
Be careful what company you keep Hey, calm down! That was uncalled for, Sergeant.
Well My condolences.
It was hard enough for me to come, I'm not going in there, it's bad luck.
I'll never forgive you for this.
You're afraid to see Owl because it's our fault they killed him! María Elena Uncle Reyes, you said to ask if I needed anything.
You have a business, give me a job.
No.
You can't work at the discotheque.
The girls there you know.
-But you and dad were like brothers-- -No.
María Elena, let's go.
I have a delivery coming.
Owlet, honey, if you need anything, call me, OK? I'm really so sorry.
Let's get back to Almeria, we're on overtime.
Goodbye to Dandy and his Mercedes.
Now what? What did you expect? That you'd keep the Mercedes? Good morning.
-Deliveries through the back-- -No.
National Police.
Is this about that scene here last night? It was like a Steve McQueen film.
We're looking for a guy who was here last night, a guy named Arturo Berzosa, alias Dandy.
He's a skinny guy -I've never heard of him-- -Yes Doesn't he own a car shop in El Palo? -Yes.
-Of course, Dandy.
-You know him? -Yes, he has a car shop in El Palo.
He offered to check my car, but I never brought it in.
All the Spaniards in town know each other, or so we think.
And where is the car shop? I don't know, I've never been there.
El Palo is huge.
He seemed so decent.
What did he do, Officer? -Car theft-- -Innocent until proven guilty, I'm not a judge, madam.
Good point, of course.
-Anything else? -No, thank you and sorry -Thank you.
-Come back soon, we're happy to have you scare off the bad guys.
-See you later.
-See you.
I don't like that guy one bit.
-Can we go home now? -Dude, we have work to do! Let's get the car.
Come on, Dandy! Damn it.
So what business do you have with Dandy? Who pays the bills here? Our son's school, the house, the car That costs more than we earn with the disco! Would you rather sell off your jewelry? What's gotten into you? What are you saying? I met these customers, really nice guys from out of town, two brothers.
They wanted a few kilos of hashish.
I knew Dandy had business in Morocco, so I offered to get them the goods.
That's out of your league.
It seemed so easy.
No one cares about drugs here.
But they care about robberies! Did they hold up the new club? Fuck! They did it to pay me.
But then this cop showed up Were you involved in the gunfight? You son of a bitch, Reyes! Now you're a suspect.
No, I doubt they saw me.
-They know about Dandy! -Then let him go into hiding! I have other problems.
The hash was stolen on the beach, so the brothers haven't paid me and I can't pay the suppliers.
It all seemed so easy.
Reyes, does this have anything to do with Owl's death? No.
Reyes, look at me.
Do you realize I almost gave you away to the police? I'm your wife, don't you dare hide things from me.
Do you hear me? You're no hoodlum from El Palo, you're a businessman.
Stick to what you know.
-Good morning.
-Morning.
Inspector Villa, Malaga.
Be careful, you might get your trousers wrinkled, Inspector.
-Cigarette? -Sure.
Thank you.
What brings you here? We chased some robbers last night who drove off in this direction.
I'm looking for an orange Volvo.
That's a fancy brand, people here can barely afford mopeds.
-What's going on here? -A wake.
A smuggler got killed last night.
I wish they'd all kill each other and leave us in peace.
Miss You lost a button.
Thank you.
They must have gone out for coffee.
Looks like it.
Anybody here? Any boss? They're here.
Why didn't you warn me? This isn't a Mercedes.
I'm meeting the Moroccan.
Let's have a look around.
See you in a bit.
Hang up! Look! What did I tell you? Look! This is fishy business! Police! Freeze! Fucking hell! Catch him! That's them blasting music! Please wait outside.
I'm so sick of house calls.
Good morning.
What's this? Hey! I'm starving, aren't you? Who are you? Police, please get dressed, miss.
Who sold you the drugs? What drugs? Ask him.
He doesn't speak Spanish.
Do you understand him? I have a very gifted tongue.
Are you of legal age? What do you think? Do you like teenagers, Officer? I'm asking because you're acting like a child.
And I'm an inspector.
Yes, I'm of legal age.
I've done nothing wrong.
I'll have you arrested for possession if you keep that up.
I have nothing more to declare, Inspector.
Look I know I'm supposed to say that I understand, that there's no work or future here, then you yawn and I call you a -What was that again? -A dropout.
That's it.
But I won't.
All I'm saying is, it would be a shame to see that happy smile of yours end up behind bars at the port penitentiary.
Now, tell me, who sold you the drugs? Who, damn it? 23 40 41 with the prefix for Almeria.
Hello? What do you mean "Police"? I'm your colleague from Torremolinos, I'm here with Ms.
Victoria López.
What's your problem? -That's mine! -Let me see it! Thank you very much.
I'll pay back every cent, I swear.
You don't owe me anything.
What were you thinking? Is this how your father raised you? Honestly! Owlet, you're done stealing.
You're coming home with us.
Reyes and I will take care of you as long as we live, you're not alone in the world.
I am alone, and I have no job! OK stop by the Camelot, I'll see what I can do.
Nice to see you.
I'd just forgotten your ugly face when I heard you arrested my sister.
What is this? Your hippie karma? -Where is she? -She's in the bathroom.
Bruno, what are you doing here? And yelling as usual.
Go home! -Did you book her? -I was filling out the form-- Hand it over.
Give me that paper or I'll pound you.
Now I understand why you won't go after drug dealers.
Go ahead and hit me, just keep collecting reports.
What the fuck do you know? Bruno López, Chief Inspector.
Top of his class in Malaga.
Transferred to Almeria in 1975.
Reported for serious disobedience with a case pending for drunk driving.
And it seems this morning you earned a third report.
Go to hell, Martín Pulido.
But you also solved the Urbizu crime in '74.
You saved the children, and reportedly risked your own life.
You are the youngest officer to have gotten a medal.
What did you do with your medal, Bruno López? Oh It's blank.
We're going home.
Come on! -Why? -Get the dealer's name! Let me Let me talk first, OK? Please Alsi, someone stole the hash.
But don't worry, we just need you to be patient.
I can lend you a new car this week.
I have a brown Mercedes-- I'm not interested in stolen cars, or stories about losing the hash, I want to know how you're going to pay me.
We just need-- What if you stole it? Until now, you've done business with Dandy, just hiding a few slabs in a suitcase, nothing very ambitious.
-What was your name? -Reyes You have some nerve.
Give me another shipment today, and I guarantee, in 24 hours, I'll pay you what I owe plus 50%.
I own a discotheque in Torremolinos, I can't go far.
But in exchange, I have a request.
What is it? Have your people find our shipment.
It can't have disappeared without a trace.
If you find it, we're even.
OK.
You'll have another shipment in 24 hours, then you'll pay your debts.
I'll find your shipment.
Thank you, Alsi.
Is this your first arrest? Because if you have a record This was my first time, I swear.
-It's just that we got this dope-- -Stop that! -What do you mean dope? -It makes you dopey, dummy.
It goes to your head and makes you so hot that-- Don't embarrass me in front of my partner.
See that, Partner? I could die for all he cares, just not in front of you.
Next time, I'll throw you in jail! Stop pretending you're a family man.
You only come by every two years.
Stop right there.
-Are you coming up to see Mom? -I'm working! I should have made a bet.
-You forgot your handbag! -Lock the door! Bruno, open up! Open the door! What are you doing? Bruno! That's mine! -You think she's got dope? -Maybe not But this is even better.
The dope shop.
You have no right! -Now what? -Go to hell, kid.
Damn kid! Two guys, probably army men.
One has a tattoo on his arm.
I told you, I don't know.
Come on, Lopera! You know every reservist on the coast.
They trust you.
You do them favors.
Come on! We're like family! I respect your father.
He's a true Spaniard and brave.
The army will never be the same.
Nor will he, retirement has done wonders.
You're a spoiled brat.
You have no values.
I just like pissing you off.
Come on! Tell me their names.
I'm no snitch, Leo.
-If I talk, it'll ruin my reputation.
-Who's going to know? No one will know.
I'll tell you, I don't like these guys.
Atilano Pena and his brother Cristóbal, I think.
Why don't you like them? They're dealing drugs.
Youngest cop to get a medal, huh? Why don't you wear it? It itches.
This won't solve your sister's problems.
That son of a bitch who sold her drugs is the problem.
Good evening.
I'm here to see María Elena.
She's not in yet.
Wait for her outside.
-That must be him.
-Look at him.
That Paquito is a nobody.
Look at him.
Where are you going, Paquito? -Did you call me? -Yes.
How much dope do you want? 50 pesetas.
-50 pesetas? -Yes.
Right Paquito, I'm going to kill you! -Son of a bitch, I'm going to kill you! -Drop the gun! Drop the gun or I'll slit her throat! I mean it! I'll drop it, Paquito.
Calm down! You're going to break my jaw! OK! Get him out of here! Fuck.
Let's go.
Are you OK? Thank you.
So, Paquito, you sell dope to little girls? -I won't do it again! -You won't? Tell us where you get that shit or we'll pull your guts out! Alright! From a guy with a car shop, he goes to Morocco a lot, his name's Dandy.
Dandy, that's great.
Let's go for a walk.
That dealer led us to Dandy, who led us to another meeting with the apple of everyone's eye We brought you a little beer.
Thank you.
I have a meeting with him.
There he is! And even worse with the hippie.
I never thought I'd see him again.
That's how we all ended up kissing Martín's ass.
I hated having to admit he was right.
I found out who the robbers working with Dandy are.
They're from up north: the Pena brothers.
They had elite assault training in the Lynx Squad, that's a real name.
They come down, do some stick-ups and leave, but now they're in a new business.
Can you guess? Dope! -Hashish! -Yeah, dope! The brothers have the cash and Dandy has the dope.
We just found out.
That's why we're here.
It seems the hippie was right.
Let's see Once in a while, Customs catches people with slabs of hash.
It's not taken seriously, but my theory is that behind these small-time smugglers there is a network of professionals.
-Why do they do it? -For the money, as usual! But why Spain? Our kids don't do drugs! Lucas! It's not just army guys and hippies, it's rich kids and normal people.
Pass it on.
They go out and experiment, have a few laughs and they want more.
For example, let's say it's just 1,000 kids in this province.
OK? Multiply that by 50 provinces.
Each piece of hash, or "soap bar," costs 1,000 pesetas.
Let's say each kid consumes just two a month.
That's at least 100,000,000 pesetas in illegal sales a month, of course every crook in Spain wants a part of that! What I'm trying to say is that joints aren't the problem, the problem is that all these delinquents are coming here because nobody wants to deal with this.
Why here? We're 14 km from the world's biggest hashish producer, so they smuggle it through the Costa del Sol.
Teacher, I have a question.
How do they do it? Truckers, fishermen, travelers car thieves Like Dandy, he travels a lot.
The car shop fixes up the stolen cars, they erase the VIN, change the license plate, take it out on the road, and the car disappears.
And clearly it ends up in Morocco.
Lucas He has an important customer there: Mahmud Alsi.
Who is he? A Moroccan landowner, part of the king's inner circle.
That camera wasn't very good.
I kept a file on him when I was in Ceuta.
He owns half of Chaouen, and it's full of hemp fields.
He has to be selling it.
And lately, I've seen him around Malaga.
Next photo, Lucas.
That's how I met your friend.
He may be using stolen cars to pay for small shipments that he distributes to dealers here.
This is just a hypothesis, but How does he get through the border? Why don't you go down to Algeciras and ask? Check with Customs, see how often Dandy crosses over and in what cars.
We may even catch him red-handed.
And soon, too, my informant says they're expecting another shipment.
-You mean Lopera? -This hippie is quick.
I investigated him in Ceuta, too.
He used to steal army ammunition and re-sell it.
He's a crook.
Anyway Good luck.
Hey, aren't you coming? No, they took me off the investigation.
I was punished for ignoring my Commissioner's orders.
-Too bad -One more question, where's the bathroom? Hey! Hey man, I think I can find my way back.
-What's your deal? -Excuse me? That cynical attitude, all those disciplinary procedures, -the excess drinking.
-I'm sorry, sir.
All I'm saying is, being a good cop is a vocation.
What's yours? Not having to put up with sermons.
I can help with that.
If we get them to set up a narcotics unit here, -our bosses will be in Madrid, we can-- -OK, Hippie.
Yes.
OK, gentlemen.
Terrón, you're going to Algeciras like the hippie said.
And we're going to the Camelot to look for the Penas.
Let's go.
Madam, I want to work here.
I want to pay you back.
No one will notice what I'm going through, I promise.
You're just like your mother.
And don't steal anything, I know what you've been up to.
I've only stolen once or twice, and it was out of necessity, I swear.
Right.
Look, you're a fresh-cut flower.
If you let men sniff you, your scent will disappear.
Don't worry about that, madam.
I'm no Mother Superior, you can do whatever you like, but you're worth a lot more than these idiots.
Trust me, don't ruin your life.
And don't call me "madam" here, or anywhere else, this is a democracy.
Go on.
Good morning.
Martín! Long time no see.
-How are you, Lopera? -As well as ever.
As well as ever Are you still selling stolen ammunition? Don't listen to hearsay.
We had a shootout yesterday with your friends the Penas.
Were those bullets yours? -They don't ring a bell.
-No? Right.
They held up the Oma Casino and almost killed two cops.
And a little bird told me you knew they were in Torremolinos.
Where are they? Lopera Where are they? Don't rush back home, Martín.
Here you go, two boxes of 9-mm ammo.
Lucas, listen, send a unit to Casa Espanola ASAP, and radio Bruno López and Leo Villa.
You hear me? I found the Penas.
Hey! -How are you, miss? -Hello.
-You know each other? -We've met.
-Good evening.
-Hello, good evening.
Hello, Officer, you're back.
And you have a new partner.
He did say he had the classiest informant on the Costa del Sol.
Would you mind looking at some photos? Of course not.
Watch your step, Atilano.
Lopera.
Aren't you Fernando? -Sorry, pal.
-Hey, it's me! -Perico, the bugle boy-- -Step aside.
OK, Fernando, sorry.
Pisser! Who's he? Remember you peed your pants when that cannon went off? Pisser! Look at the pisser! Fernando! Hey! Fernando! Let's beat it.
You don't talk much.
You were hurt.
Are you OK? What do you care? Why does everyone say that? Cops don't care about people like me.
What about you? They want to fire me.
But I'm OK.
Don't worry, you can always bartend.
I'd do a better job than you.
I'm sure you would.
It's my first day, I'm a little nervous.
You should find a husband and get out of here.
You obviously don't know me.
I don't want to depend on anyone.
Strong words for such a young lady.
"Such a young lady.
" I'm not a little girl.
-What do your folks say? -What about yours? Don't you have a girlfriend waiting? No, seriously.
Are you OK? Why do you keep insisting? We're talking.
We're friends, aren't we? No, we're not friends.
We're total strangers.
And my folks say I shouldn't talk to strangers.
4-8-3-1, hurry! Trying to get all the credit, Hippie? -Of course not! Go get them! -Relax! We'll catch them.
They don't know I'm a cop, you can surprise them! Red SEAT, Malaga license plate 4831, headed down Manantiales.
-Let's go.
-You win, Hippie! -What happened? -Just the usual beating! Get him to a doctor! It's over on the right, OK? Turn right here.
Where now? Just drive around.
Drive around, we'll find them.
There they are! Let's see what the bastards are up to.
-Don't move.
-They're leaving! They're not leaving! They're marking the spot, you'll see.
He's taking out the trash.
He's marking the spot! Wanna bet? Pull over to the side, you'll see.
-Here.
-Yes.
-Hello? -It's Dandy.
I'm at the port in Algeciras.
He's here.
-Everything OK? -As usual.
-Good luck.
-Thank you.
But I mean, if anyone has profited from women voting, it's Felipe González.
That bastard is a pickup artist.
Seriously.
What about you? What about me? I mean, now that Suárez has dissolved Falange What are you going to do? It's obvious you're a fascist.
Watch out, I'm with the secret police-- I'm an easy target, my boss calls me "The Anarchist.
" Hey, can I trust you? I wouldn't.
Alright.
You took it? You bastard! We need to find out why this shit is such a hit.
Should we try it? This shit's not doing anything! You're getting teary-eyed, you must be very sad! From looking at your ugly face! They offered to let me swap places with a guy from Almeria.
I mean I am kind of a ball-buster.
Yeah Beating up your superior does qualify you as a ball-buster.
But, I mean, I'm actually grateful because I've moved around a lot, I had to come home sometime.
You like the girl at the discotheque.
-So do you! -Me? I have to spread my seed around the Nordic countries.
I was hired by the Tourism Ministry -to keep Swedish tourists happy.
-Son of a bitch! Couldn't you get laid in Almeria? I have everything I need in Almeria, I'm very well served.
Look who's coming! -I guess you were right.
-That son of bitch, Dandy.
I guess you owe me a drink.
They're not here to play Parcheesi.
Maybe he's here to get some action.
That's funny, you bastard! Damn! Damn! What the hell's going on? I heard you laughing a mile away.
We're doing research! What the hell are you doing here? I'm driving up from Algeciras and who do I find? Dandy coming home.
Hold on.
Let me go take a look.
Let's see Oh, shit! We're about to make an arrest and he's throwing up, are you serious? I'm lightheaded.
I got up too fast, damn it! I'm OK, alright? Damn! Let's go for a walk and look around.
-This is really fishy business.
-Sure is.
When the brother comes, we'll arrest them.
OK.
Hello? It's Atilano, put Cristóbal on the phone.
OK.
-Yes? -Everything's OK.
-Are you sure? -Yes.
Alright.
Please exit through the back door.
-Fuck! -I'm so sorry! Watch where you're going! Look what you've done! What's gotten into you? Hey, what's the matter with you? Do you like what you see? Be quiet! No! I said, be quiet.
I know you want it.
No! Be quiet! You are so hot! Be quiet! I won't forget you.
Don't get too attached, I have to pay the Moroccan.
I like my life just fine.
I don't want any more trouble.
Is this what you make with each shipment? Yes.
Stop your preaching.
OK? K-5 calling K-3, Torremolinos.
K-5 calling K3.
Guys, are you listening? K-3 calling K-5.
I'm looking at you, Pulido.
Stop going in circles, we're right in front of you.
Tell him to keep driving around.
The door! The door, damn it! You kept driving by us! What happened? Dandy's back with his Mercedes.
When the brother gets here, we'll arrest them.
-He brought the Mercedes back? -Yes.
So the car isn't a form of payment, it's used for transport.
The hippie looks like crap, but he's still thinking.
-Is he here? -Yes.
Terrón, go get them.
No, wait! Did you see any packages? Money? The way they were smiling, it was either hash or a ham.
-What if it's not hash? -Wanna bet? I wouldn't risk it.
All I'm saying is, if we mess this up, we're dead meat.
I'm about to get fired, I have nothing to lose.
-We can arrest them for battery.
-No way! I want to nab them for drug trafficking.
I want to wave the drugs in my Commissioner's face.
-Don't you? -Sure.
-May I ask what it looks like? -What, Lucas? -The drugs, how will I recognize them? -If you see anything strange, ask.
Bruno what should we do? OK.
Through the back door.
Kid, you're sticking with me, and take the hat off.
-We'll use the car to block the door.
-I'll move it, I'm beat.
OK, let's go.
Watch your step, Hippie.
Let's go! Come with me, kid.
I have already sorted it out with Reyes.
-The merchandise? -It's fine.
Dandy, show him.
Police! Freeze! Son of a bitch! Hey, freeze! What's going on? Are you OK? Just dandy.
Here, Terrón, in case he needs to get a passport.
Holy Christ! -Where is it? -What? Fuck you! Where is it? I don't know.
Look under the seat.
Where's the dope, Dandy? -Where's the dope? -What's that? You son of a bitch.
Sir -Sir -There's nothing here, damn it! Sir What? You said if I saw anything strange The car is hanging low, but this is a high-frame model.
That was the first time we'd seen so much hashish together.
Eventually, we got used to it and we saw a lot more.
But that stash was our passport to fame, even though we didn't pose for the photos.
Gentlemen, we are here to present the fruits of a police operative to end drug trafficking on the Costa del Sol.
Our youngsters will be freed from the scourge of drug addiction thanks to the ongoing vigilance of our security forces.
In fact, the opposite was true.
That was only the beginning.
We've asked the central brigade to create a special narcotics unit on the Costa del Sol to be made up of veteran officers from various precincts.
This is no doubt the sort of preventive measure our society needs.
Thank you.
In this country, we love hearing lies.
We live with them, swallow them up and take them to bed with us.
We use this bunch of lies to build a brave new world.
I had unwittingly found my life's purpose.
Drugs brought us together, and a woman tore us apart.
I've screwed so many people over, anyone could have done this to me.
And when I say anyone I mean anyone.
I've hurt so many people so badly Congratulations, copper.
My whole life is full of lies.
Lies.
Lies.
Lies.
Lies.
Look who's here, Pablito! Look, honey! Say hello to Daddy! Lies.
How was your trip? I've been transferred.
-Where are we going? -Malaga.
Malaga?
Everything is so different now.
When I was a kid, Torremolinos was a dump on the outskirts of Malaga.
It's still small, but it's different: skyscrapers, discotheques, Hollywood stars, hippies, fags Everything is new in the rest of the country, too.
Now we're a democracy, which means we get to choose between one pretty boy and another.
But if you turn off the TV and go outside, you'll realize it's still the same country: con artists, cheats, lookouts everyone's just trying to scrape by.
The underdogs have a rough life.
And the guys at the top are having a grand old time.
So just imagine what the underdogs want.
I'm a cop.
I can assure you we still have the same shit we had with Franco.
OK, not exactly the same.
Now there's something new: drug trafficking.
And now everyone knows this thanks to us.
Because this backwater town full of skyscrapers and discos started Spain's first special narcotics unit.
And, not to brag, but we made a huge splash.
And you know what? Me, I'm the fucking boss.
We came in with such a bang, half of Torremolinos wants me dead, including my colleagues.
I guess that explains why I've just been shot in the gut.
Looks grim, doesn't it? It's funny Six months ago, we nearly got canned, now everyone envies us.
That night changed our lives.
WELCOME TO TORREMOLINOS JUNE 1977 SIX MONTHS EARLIER That night, we'd come over from Almeria on duty, yours truly and that little angel next to me, Terrón.
He not only looks like an angel, he'll send you to heaven in one blow.
And this is Dandy, a car thief.
And that Mercedes isn't his.
But we weren't the only ones who were on his trail.
That mop-head was too.
Martín Pulido, The Hippie, Torremolinos Police Inspector.
He's the smartest guy I know, and the most annoying.
And they're the Pena brothers, proof that Torremolinos welcomes all sorts of tourists.
Put your jewelry in the bag or I'll shoot, is that clear? The necklace! Shut your mouth! And for this type of tourism, it's always high season here.
holdup on Manantiales Avenue at the Oma Casino.
Two men with guns have fled the premises.
K-3 to headquarters, I'm right nearby.
I'll be there in a minute.
This is Leo Villa, the apple of Torremolinos' eye.
And that's his Ford Capri.
We call it the fly car Police! when it opens, the dick comes out.
They went towards the disco in an orange Volvo.
-Did you see their faces? -No, but the guy who grabbed me had an army tattoo on his arm.
OK.
There's one more place I want to show you: La Carihuela.
Another person whose life changed that night: Owlet.
Oh, my little owl.
-You were gone a while.
-I had business.
LIES -Here, take this home.
-Give me that one too-- I'll take this one.
You're sure crabby today, Father.
Suit yourself.
Hey, Sole's coming over for dinner.
Tell you what, I'll make you a nice dinner to brighten up that sour face.
It's just enough, Chino.
Guess we're not eating tomorrow.
Tomorrow's another day, the night is long.
Sole, can you spare some change for a sandwich? I thought it was the guys who treated the ladies! -Come on! You just sold the fish! -No.
If I shortchange my aunt, she'll rip my hands off.
What are you doing with these deadbeats? If it isn't the dreamer! You'll make it big in Torremolinos.
I hope the day comes, so I can forget your starving faces.
Come on! My dad's back.
Hey, kid! Did your dad catch anything? He caught something.
Gentlemen, when this is over, I've reserved a table and a first-rate lobster at the best place in Torremolinos.
Keep your hands off the bread.
-Where are the goods? -They should be at the beach.
Here's where we come into play.
Two cops with guns about to catch the bad guys.
Meet me at the beach.
Put your hands up, slowly.
What's this? -Who the hell are you? -Police! -What are you, a traffic cop? -Hey, I said hands up! Who snitched? I'll kill him! -Freeze! Police! -We're on the force too! Hey! They're getting away, you idiot! Damn it! And there we have it, the start of a beautiful friendship.
Just look at us, such peace and harmony-- Give me the gun, damn it! Get out of the way! Get out! Get out, damn it! Get up! And here you have a superhero about to die in the line of duty.
Or a jackass with a death wish.
Are you crazy? He's a cop! Or maybe I just trust my dumb luck.
VOTE CENTER VOTE SUAREZ I did it! Grab the baskets! Hey, Chino What is this stuff, bro? Here's another one! Come on.
Let's go.
You really need to learn how to smoke, squirt! Haven't you seen actresses do it? What's taking my father so long? Did you see that car? No! No, this can't be happening! Owl! What's the matter, Owl? Let's go unload the merchandise! The merchandise they stole it.
What? While I was waiting, someone knocked me out.
What are you saying, Owl? Fucking hell! Do you realize the mess we're in? You tell me, brother! What the hell was I thinking? Are you cheating me, Owl? After I gave you a job? Don't talk to me like that, Reyes, or I'll kill you! Hey! Is this going to take all night? Hmm Owl says that someone stole the hash.
Owl.
Let's hear the owl hoot.
No! Son of a bitch! Owl! Owl! Let's beat it.
Beat it! Come on.
Where are you going? Yolanda? Father? Father? Father! Help! What happened? Father, no, no! Help! Help! Please help me! If it isn't the pickpockets, it's the punks or the dealers, we just can't get any sleep.
That night, the bastards got away from me, as they often do.
But if we had caught them, Owlet would still be dancing and smoking contraband cigarettes, not out there seeking revenge.
I'm convinced Dandy's been hustling hashish.
And now he's dealing with armed criminals.
We have to start taking drug trafficking seriously, ask the narcotics brigade to start a unit here-- Listen, do you have any proof that Dandy's trafficking hashish? I'm convinced he is.
-Convinced? -Yes.
What is this, The French Connection? Drug trafficking Give me a break, man.
Good morning.
Now we're all here.
Commissioners Moreno and Bolano.
Are those your bosses? -The bald guy is mine.
-The other's from Malaga.
I know him.
-Were you stationed in Malaga? -Yeah.
And you're in luck, I'm the one who's going to get shit.
-Who's first? -Me.
It's been a pleasure, Hippie, I hope I never see you again.
Bye.
Inspector Bruno López, "The Anarchist," long time no see.
I moved to Almeria two years ago, sir.
When we kicked you out of Malaga.
Did you know that President Suárez was going to close his campaign on that stage you destroyed? There are no drugs in Spain, Pulido! Our kids are healthy! The real issue here is drug-related crime.
It's a model investigation, we've been after Dandy for two weeks.
Who caused the accident? The culprits, sir.
What is this? While we were chasing the culprits, Bruno risked his life to save civilians.
I destroyed the stage while driving an official vehicle.
Go ahead, call my boss in Almeria and report me.
I think he deserves a medal.
Since you could care less, we may have to dismiss you.
OK, so be it Meanwhile, let me go catch those sons of bitches.
Bye! See you later! Come on! Hurry! It's obvious you don't have a family.
Hey! Stay away from the register! We both know why.
How are you, honey bear? I haven't seen you all night.
-I'm OK.
-Did you hear what happened? Yeah.
I'll get it.
Hi, may I help you? Hi, Owlet, honey.
How are you? Why are you calling so late? What? What happened? On the beach? Oh, dear Lord! Good morning.
Sweetheart.
Your father was such a good man.
What a terrible tragedy! May I see him? -Thanks for coming, Uncle Reyes.
-It's the least I could do, we were boyhood friends.
If you need anything, just let us know.
Look! -Good morning.
-Good morning.
We questioned the neighbors, but we can't get anyone to talk.
Of course not, who's going to tell you they stabbed my father? Sooner or later, the culprits will appear.
And that's it? -Doesn't anyone care? -Yolanda, calm down.
Look, miss, I don't mean to disrespect the deceased, but they called him Owl because he stayed up nights to smuggle.
Be careful what company you keep Hey, calm down! That was uncalled for, Sergeant.
Well My condolences.
It was hard enough for me to come, I'm not going in there, it's bad luck.
I'll never forgive you for this.
You're afraid to see Owl because it's our fault they killed him! María Elena Uncle Reyes, you said to ask if I needed anything.
You have a business, give me a job.
No.
You can't work at the discotheque.
The girls there you know.
-But you and dad were like brothers-- -No.
María Elena, let's go.
I have a delivery coming.
Owlet, honey, if you need anything, call me, OK? I'm really so sorry.
Let's get back to Almeria, we're on overtime.
Goodbye to Dandy and his Mercedes.
Now what? What did you expect? That you'd keep the Mercedes? Good morning.
-Deliveries through the back-- -No.
National Police.
Is this about that scene here last night? It was like a Steve McQueen film.
We're looking for a guy who was here last night, a guy named Arturo Berzosa, alias Dandy.
He's a skinny guy -I've never heard of him-- -Yes Doesn't he own a car shop in El Palo? -Yes.
-Of course, Dandy.
-You know him? -Yes, he has a car shop in El Palo.
He offered to check my car, but I never brought it in.
All the Spaniards in town know each other, or so we think.
And where is the car shop? I don't know, I've never been there.
El Palo is huge.
He seemed so decent.
What did he do, Officer? -Car theft-- -Innocent until proven guilty, I'm not a judge, madam.
Good point, of course.
-Anything else? -No, thank you and sorry -Thank you.
-Come back soon, we're happy to have you scare off the bad guys.
-See you later.
-See you.
I don't like that guy one bit.
-Can we go home now? -Dude, we have work to do! Let's get the car.
Come on, Dandy! Damn it.
So what business do you have with Dandy? Who pays the bills here? Our son's school, the house, the car That costs more than we earn with the disco! Would you rather sell off your jewelry? What's gotten into you? What are you saying? I met these customers, really nice guys from out of town, two brothers.
They wanted a few kilos of hashish.
I knew Dandy had business in Morocco, so I offered to get them the goods.
That's out of your league.
It seemed so easy.
No one cares about drugs here.
But they care about robberies! Did they hold up the new club? Fuck! They did it to pay me.
But then this cop showed up Were you involved in the gunfight? You son of a bitch, Reyes! Now you're a suspect.
No, I doubt they saw me.
-They know about Dandy! -Then let him go into hiding! I have other problems.
The hash was stolen on the beach, so the brothers haven't paid me and I can't pay the suppliers.
It all seemed so easy.
Reyes, does this have anything to do with Owl's death? No.
Reyes, look at me.
Do you realize I almost gave you away to the police? I'm your wife, don't you dare hide things from me.
Do you hear me? You're no hoodlum from El Palo, you're a businessman.
Stick to what you know.
-Good morning.
-Morning.
Inspector Villa, Malaga.
Be careful, you might get your trousers wrinkled, Inspector.
-Cigarette? -Sure.
Thank you.
What brings you here? We chased some robbers last night who drove off in this direction.
I'm looking for an orange Volvo.
That's a fancy brand, people here can barely afford mopeds.
-What's going on here? -A wake.
A smuggler got killed last night.
I wish they'd all kill each other and leave us in peace.
Miss You lost a button.
Thank you.
They must have gone out for coffee.
Looks like it.
Anybody here? Any boss? They're here.
Why didn't you warn me? This isn't a Mercedes.
I'm meeting the Moroccan.
Let's have a look around.
See you in a bit.
Hang up! Look! What did I tell you? Look! This is fishy business! Police! Freeze! Fucking hell! Catch him! That's them blasting music! Please wait outside.
I'm so sick of house calls.
Good morning.
What's this? Hey! I'm starving, aren't you? Who are you? Police, please get dressed, miss.
Who sold you the drugs? What drugs? Ask him.
He doesn't speak Spanish.
Do you understand him? I have a very gifted tongue.
Are you of legal age? What do you think? Do you like teenagers, Officer? I'm asking because you're acting like a child.
And I'm an inspector.
Yes, I'm of legal age.
I've done nothing wrong.
I'll have you arrested for possession if you keep that up.
I have nothing more to declare, Inspector.
Look I know I'm supposed to say that I understand, that there's no work or future here, then you yawn and I call you a -What was that again? -A dropout.
That's it.
But I won't.
All I'm saying is, it would be a shame to see that happy smile of yours end up behind bars at the port penitentiary.
Now, tell me, who sold you the drugs? Who, damn it? 23 40 41 with the prefix for Almeria.
Hello? What do you mean "Police"? I'm your colleague from Torremolinos, I'm here with Ms.
Victoria López.
What's your problem? -That's mine! -Let me see it! Thank you very much.
I'll pay back every cent, I swear.
You don't owe me anything.
What were you thinking? Is this how your father raised you? Honestly! Owlet, you're done stealing.
You're coming home with us.
Reyes and I will take care of you as long as we live, you're not alone in the world.
I am alone, and I have no job! OK stop by the Camelot, I'll see what I can do.
Nice to see you.
I'd just forgotten your ugly face when I heard you arrested my sister.
What is this? Your hippie karma? -Where is she? -She's in the bathroom.
Bruno, what are you doing here? And yelling as usual.
Go home! -Did you book her? -I was filling out the form-- Hand it over.
Give me that paper or I'll pound you.
Now I understand why you won't go after drug dealers.
Go ahead and hit me, just keep collecting reports.
What the fuck do you know? Bruno López, Chief Inspector.
Top of his class in Malaga.
Transferred to Almeria in 1975.
Reported for serious disobedience with a case pending for drunk driving.
And it seems this morning you earned a third report.
Go to hell, Martín Pulido.
But you also solved the Urbizu crime in '74.
You saved the children, and reportedly risked your own life.
You are the youngest officer to have gotten a medal.
What did you do with your medal, Bruno López? Oh It's blank.
We're going home.
Come on! -Why? -Get the dealer's name! Let me Let me talk first, OK? Please Alsi, someone stole the hash.
But don't worry, we just need you to be patient.
I can lend you a new car this week.
I have a brown Mercedes-- I'm not interested in stolen cars, or stories about losing the hash, I want to know how you're going to pay me.
We just need-- What if you stole it? Until now, you've done business with Dandy, just hiding a few slabs in a suitcase, nothing very ambitious.
-What was your name? -Reyes You have some nerve.
Give me another shipment today, and I guarantee, in 24 hours, I'll pay you what I owe plus 50%.
I own a discotheque in Torremolinos, I can't go far.
But in exchange, I have a request.
What is it? Have your people find our shipment.
It can't have disappeared without a trace.
If you find it, we're even.
OK.
You'll have another shipment in 24 hours, then you'll pay your debts.
I'll find your shipment.
Thank you, Alsi.
Is this your first arrest? Because if you have a record This was my first time, I swear.
-It's just that we got this dope-- -Stop that! -What do you mean dope? -It makes you dopey, dummy.
It goes to your head and makes you so hot that-- Don't embarrass me in front of my partner.
See that, Partner? I could die for all he cares, just not in front of you.
Next time, I'll throw you in jail! Stop pretending you're a family man.
You only come by every two years.
Stop right there.
-Are you coming up to see Mom? -I'm working! I should have made a bet.
-You forgot your handbag! -Lock the door! Bruno, open up! Open the door! What are you doing? Bruno! That's mine! -You think she's got dope? -Maybe not But this is even better.
The dope shop.
You have no right! -Now what? -Go to hell, kid.
Damn kid! Two guys, probably army men.
One has a tattoo on his arm.
I told you, I don't know.
Come on, Lopera! You know every reservist on the coast.
They trust you.
You do them favors.
Come on! We're like family! I respect your father.
He's a true Spaniard and brave.
The army will never be the same.
Nor will he, retirement has done wonders.
You're a spoiled brat.
You have no values.
I just like pissing you off.
Come on! Tell me their names.
I'm no snitch, Leo.
-If I talk, it'll ruin my reputation.
-Who's going to know? No one will know.
I'll tell you, I don't like these guys.
Atilano Pena and his brother Cristóbal, I think.
Why don't you like them? They're dealing drugs.
Youngest cop to get a medal, huh? Why don't you wear it? It itches.
This won't solve your sister's problems.
That son of a bitch who sold her drugs is the problem.
Good evening.
I'm here to see María Elena.
She's not in yet.
Wait for her outside.
-That must be him.
-Look at him.
That Paquito is a nobody.
Look at him.
Where are you going, Paquito? -Did you call me? -Yes.
How much dope do you want? 50 pesetas.
-50 pesetas? -Yes.
Right Paquito, I'm going to kill you! -Son of a bitch, I'm going to kill you! -Drop the gun! Drop the gun or I'll slit her throat! I mean it! I'll drop it, Paquito.
Calm down! You're going to break my jaw! OK! Get him out of here! Fuck.
Let's go.
Are you OK? Thank you.
So, Paquito, you sell dope to little girls? -I won't do it again! -You won't? Tell us where you get that shit or we'll pull your guts out! Alright! From a guy with a car shop, he goes to Morocco a lot, his name's Dandy.
Dandy, that's great.
Let's go for a walk.
That dealer led us to Dandy, who led us to another meeting with the apple of everyone's eye We brought you a little beer.
Thank you.
I have a meeting with him.
There he is! And even worse with the hippie.
I never thought I'd see him again.
That's how we all ended up kissing Martín's ass.
I hated having to admit he was right.
I found out who the robbers working with Dandy are.
They're from up north: the Pena brothers.
They had elite assault training in the Lynx Squad, that's a real name.
They come down, do some stick-ups and leave, but now they're in a new business.
Can you guess? Dope! -Hashish! -Yeah, dope! The brothers have the cash and Dandy has the dope.
We just found out.
That's why we're here.
It seems the hippie was right.
Let's see Once in a while, Customs catches people with slabs of hash.
It's not taken seriously, but my theory is that behind these small-time smugglers there is a network of professionals.
-Why do they do it? -For the money, as usual! But why Spain? Our kids don't do drugs! Lucas! It's not just army guys and hippies, it's rich kids and normal people.
Pass it on.
They go out and experiment, have a few laughs and they want more.
For example, let's say it's just 1,000 kids in this province.
OK? Multiply that by 50 provinces.
Each piece of hash, or "soap bar," costs 1,000 pesetas.
Let's say each kid consumes just two a month.
That's at least 100,000,000 pesetas in illegal sales a month, of course every crook in Spain wants a part of that! What I'm trying to say is that joints aren't the problem, the problem is that all these delinquents are coming here because nobody wants to deal with this.
Why here? We're 14 km from the world's biggest hashish producer, so they smuggle it through the Costa del Sol.
Teacher, I have a question.
How do they do it? Truckers, fishermen, travelers car thieves Like Dandy, he travels a lot.
The car shop fixes up the stolen cars, they erase the VIN, change the license plate, take it out on the road, and the car disappears.
And clearly it ends up in Morocco.
Lucas He has an important customer there: Mahmud Alsi.
Who is he? A Moroccan landowner, part of the king's inner circle.
That camera wasn't very good.
I kept a file on him when I was in Ceuta.
He owns half of Chaouen, and it's full of hemp fields.
He has to be selling it.
And lately, I've seen him around Malaga.
Next photo, Lucas.
That's how I met your friend.
He may be using stolen cars to pay for small shipments that he distributes to dealers here.
This is just a hypothesis, but How does he get through the border? Why don't you go down to Algeciras and ask? Check with Customs, see how often Dandy crosses over and in what cars.
We may even catch him red-handed.
And soon, too, my informant says they're expecting another shipment.
-You mean Lopera? -This hippie is quick.
I investigated him in Ceuta, too.
He used to steal army ammunition and re-sell it.
He's a crook.
Anyway Good luck.
Hey, aren't you coming? No, they took me off the investigation.
I was punished for ignoring my Commissioner's orders.
-Too bad -One more question, where's the bathroom? Hey! Hey man, I think I can find my way back.
-What's your deal? -Excuse me? That cynical attitude, all those disciplinary procedures, -the excess drinking.
-I'm sorry, sir.
All I'm saying is, being a good cop is a vocation.
What's yours? Not having to put up with sermons.
I can help with that.
If we get them to set up a narcotics unit here, -our bosses will be in Madrid, we can-- -OK, Hippie.
Yes.
OK, gentlemen.
Terrón, you're going to Algeciras like the hippie said.
And we're going to the Camelot to look for the Penas.
Let's go.
Madam, I want to work here.
I want to pay you back.
No one will notice what I'm going through, I promise.
You're just like your mother.
And don't steal anything, I know what you've been up to.
I've only stolen once or twice, and it was out of necessity, I swear.
Right.
Look, you're a fresh-cut flower.
If you let men sniff you, your scent will disappear.
Don't worry about that, madam.
I'm no Mother Superior, you can do whatever you like, but you're worth a lot more than these idiots.
Trust me, don't ruin your life.
And don't call me "madam" here, or anywhere else, this is a democracy.
Go on.
Good morning.
Martín! Long time no see.
-How are you, Lopera? -As well as ever.
As well as ever Are you still selling stolen ammunition? Don't listen to hearsay.
We had a shootout yesterday with your friends the Penas.
Were those bullets yours? -They don't ring a bell.
-No? Right.
They held up the Oma Casino and almost killed two cops.
And a little bird told me you knew they were in Torremolinos.
Where are they? Lopera Where are they? Don't rush back home, Martín.
Here you go, two boxes of 9-mm ammo.
Lucas, listen, send a unit to Casa Espanola ASAP, and radio Bruno López and Leo Villa.
You hear me? I found the Penas.
Hey! -How are you, miss? -Hello.
-You know each other? -We've met.
-Good evening.
-Hello, good evening.
Hello, Officer, you're back.
And you have a new partner.
He did say he had the classiest informant on the Costa del Sol.
Would you mind looking at some photos? Of course not.
Watch your step, Atilano.
Lopera.
Aren't you Fernando? -Sorry, pal.
-Hey, it's me! -Perico, the bugle boy-- -Step aside.
OK, Fernando, sorry.
Pisser! Who's he? Remember you peed your pants when that cannon went off? Pisser! Look at the pisser! Fernando! Hey! Fernando! Let's beat it.
You don't talk much.
You were hurt.
Are you OK? What do you care? Why does everyone say that? Cops don't care about people like me.
What about you? They want to fire me.
But I'm OK.
Don't worry, you can always bartend.
I'd do a better job than you.
I'm sure you would.
It's my first day, I'm a little nervous.
You should find a husband and get out of here.
You obviously don't know me.
I don't want to depend on anyone.
Strong words for such a young lady.
"Such a young lady.
" I'm not a little girl.
-What do your folks say? -What about yours? Don't you have a girlfriend waiting? No, seriously.
Are you OK? Why do you keep insisting? We're talking.
We're friends, aren't we? No, we're not friends.
We're total strangers.
And my folks say I shouldn't talk to strangers.
4-8-3-1, hurry! Trying to get all the credit, Hippie? -Of course not! Go get them! -Relax! We'll catch them.
They don't know I'm a cop, you can surprise them! Red SEAT, Malaga license plate 4831, headed down Manantiales.
-Let's go.
-You win, Hippie! -What happened? -Just the usual beating! Get him to a doctor! It's over on the right, OK? Turn right here.
Where now? Just drive around.
Drive around, we'll find them.
There they are! Let's see what the bastards are up to.
-Don't move.
-They're leaving! They're not leaving! They're marking the spot, you'll see.
He's taking out the trash.
He's marking the spot! Wanna bet? Pull over to the side, you'll see.
-Here.
-Yes.
-Hello? -It's Dandy.
I'm at the port in Algeciras.
He's here.
-Everything OK? -As usual.
-Good luck.
-Thank you.
But I mean, if anyone has profited from women voting, it's Felipe González.
That bastard is a pickup artist.
Seriously.
What about you? What about me? I mean, now that Suárez has dissolved Falange What are you going to do? It's obvious you're a fascist.
Watch out, I'm with the secret police-- I'm an easy target, my boss calls me "The Anarchist.
" Hey, can I trust you? I wouldn't.
Alright.
You took it? You bastard! We need to find out why this shit is such a hit.
Should we try it? This shit's not doing anything! You're getting teary-eyed, you must be very sad! From looking at your ugly face! They offered to let me swap places with a guy from Almeria.
I mean I am kind of a ball-buster.
Yeah Beating up your superior does qualify you as a ball-buster.
But, I mean, I'm actually grateful because I've moved around a lot, I had to come home sometime.
You like the girl at the discotheque.
-So do you! -Me? I have to spread my seed around the Nordic countries.
I was hired by the Tourism Ministry -to keep Swedish tourists happy.
-Son of a bitch! Couldn't you get laid in Almeria? I have everything I need in Almeria, I'm very well served.
Look who's coming! -I guess you were right.
-That son of bitch, Dandy.
I guess you owe me a drink.
They're not here to play Parcheesi.
Maybe he's here to get some action.
That's funny, you bastard! Damn! Damn! What the hell's going on? I heard you laughing a mile away.
We're doing research! What the hell are you doing here? I'm driving up from Algeciras and who do I find? Dandy coming home.
Hold on.
Let me go take a look.
Let's see Oh, shit! We're about to make an arrest and he's throwing up, are you serious? I'm lightheaded.
I got up too fast, damn it! I'm OK, alright? Damn! Let's go for a walk and look around.
-This is really fishy business.
-Sure is.
When the brother comes, we'll arrest them.
OK.
Hello? It's Atilano, put Cristóbal on the phone.
OK.
-Yes? -Everything's OK.
-Are you sure? -Yes.
Alright.
Please exit through the back door.
-Fuck! -I'm so sorry! Watch where you're going! Look what you've done! What's gotten into you? Hey, what's the matter with you? Do you like what you see? Be quiet! No! I said, be quiet.
I know you want it.
No! Be quiet! You are so hot! Be quiet! I won't forget you.
Don't get too attached, I have to pay the Moroccan.
I like my life just fine.
I don't want any more trouble.
Is this what you make with each shipment? Yes.
Stop your preaching.
OK? K-5 calling K-3, Torremolinos.
K-5 calling K3.
Guys, are you listening? K-3 calling K-5.
I'm looking at you, Pulido.
Stop going in circles, we're right in front of you.
Tell him to keep driving around.
The door! The door, damn it! You kept driving by us! What happened? Dandy's back with his Mercedes.
When the brother gets here, we'll arrest them.
-He brought the Mercedes back? -Yes.
So the car isn't a form of payment, it's used for transport.
The hippie looks like crap, but he's still thinking.
-Is he here? -Yes.
Terrón, go get them.
No, wait! Did you see any packages? Money? The way they were smiling, it was either hash or a ham.
-What if it's not hash? -Wanna bet? I wouldn't risk it.
All I'm saying is, if we mess this up, we're dead meat.
I'm about to get fired, I have nothing to lose.
-We can arrest them for battery.
-No way! I want to nab them for drug trafficking.
I want to wave the drugs in my Commissioner's face.
-Don't you? -Sure.
-May I ask what it looks like? -What, Lucas? -The drugs, how will I recognize them? -If you see anything strange, ask.
Bruno what should we do? OK.
Through the back door.
Kid, you're sticking with me, and take the hat off.
-We'll use the car to block the door.
-I'll move it, I'm beat.
OK, let's go.
Watch your step, Hippie.
Let's go! Come with me, kid.
I have already sorted it out with Reyes.
-The merchandise? -It's fine.
Dandy, show him.
Police! Freeze! Son of a bitch! Hey, freeze! What's going on? Are you OK? Just dandy.
Here, Terrón, in case he needs to get a passport.
Holy Christ! -Where is it? -What? Fuck you! Where is it? I don't know.
Look under the seat.
Where's the dope, Dandy? -Where's the dope? -What's that? You son of a bitch.
Sir -Sir -There's nothing here, damn it! Sir What? You said if I saw anything strange The car is hanging low, but this is a high-frame model.
That was the first time we'd seen so much hashish together.
Eventually, we got used to it and we saw a lot more.
But that stash was our passport to fame, even though we didn't pose for the photos.
Gentlemen, we are here to present the fruits of a police operative to end drug trafficking on the Costa del Sol.
Our youngsters will be freed from the scourge of drug addiction thanks to the ongoing vigilance of our security forces.
In fact, the opposite was true.
That was only the beginning.
We've asked the central brigade to create a special narcotics unit on the Costa del Sol to be made up of veteran officers from various precincts.
This is no doubt the sort of preventive measure our society needs.
Thank you.
In this country, we love hearing lies.
We live with them, swallow them up and take them to bed with us.
We use this bunch of lies to build a brave new world.
I had unwittingly found my life's purpose.
Drugs brought us together, and a woman tore us apart.
I've screwed so many people over, anyone could have done this to me.
And when I say anyone I mean anyone.
I've hurt so many people so badly Congratulations, copper.
My whole life is full of lies.
Lies.
Lies.
Lies.
Lies.
Look who's here, Pablito! Look, honey! Say hello to Daddy! Lies.
How was your trip? I've been transferred.
-Where are we going? -Malaga.
Malaga?
