Brigada Costa del Sol (2019) s01e06 Episode Script
El infierno de los Burlangas
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES MALAGA HOSPITAL DECEMBER 1, 1977 According to doctors, a person dies when their heart stops and blood stops flowing to the brain.
That's easy enough to say, but it's a bitch to go through.
He stopped breathing.
Hypertension.
6.
3 and it's coming down.
His heart's stopped.
Hurry, let's intubate him.
Adrenaline.
According to that definition, I died on December 1, 1977 at exactly 2:14 a.
m.
"Rest in peace" they say.
THREE MONTHS BEFORE Who needs rest? Not me.
Not even that time I didn't sleep a wink in three days.
How was the night shift? This was better than a hotel suite.
Any news? Jeez.
Well the cat that lives over there went across the street, and the neighbor over there took the garbage out in his underwear.
-That beats the last two nights.
-Yeah.
So should we go to headquarters? And see Cifu's face? Home? I could've seized the opportunity to go to bed, but what was the point? I won't die of old age anyway.
Plus, at that point, I'd only stayed up one night.
WELCOME TO TORREMOLINOS See you tomorrow.
You look like you got hit by a truck.
The bad guys won't let me catch them.
No wonder, that face would make anyone run away.
So? -Do you still want to kill me? -I never wanted to kill you.
I just wanted to torture you a bit.
Should we go? Where? I don't know.
OK, let's go.
But I'll decide where.
-Go ahead and explain.
-The Penas are thugs, bank robbers, they're not like the other gangs we've arrested.
So what? There must be a go-between we still don't know.
This is just one of the gangs, and Alsi is just one of the suppliers.
According to our informant, each of these gangs could be trafficking up to 100 kg a month, that's in Torremolinos alone.
1,200 kg a year.
Exactly, on the street that's worth about 400 million pesetas.
In other words, 400 million pesetas -versus 500,000.
-Where'd you get that 500,000? The department's budget, it's what the police spends on fighting drug trafficking.
-Are you asking me for a raise? -No.
We're asking you for resources.
We need more men on the streets, more money for informants, for equipment, communications, speedboats-- Why not a helicopter on the roof? Who do you think you are? The S.
W.
A.
T.
team? It's been two weeks since you confiscated so much as a joint! We were after a false lead! If you want more resources, I need results! How can we get results if we have no means? Look, put a few kilos on my desktop, and then we'll talk.
Thanks a lot for your support.
That guy is such a prick.
Mom! -What are you doing here? -Leo! What's the matter? The bank manager came to see us yesterday.
He said he can't keep putting it off, that we need to make the mortgage payments.
What mortgage? That's what I asked him.
What mortgage? It seems your dad put a lien on the house to invest in a company.
-What? -Don Emilio said it was a sure bet.
Who is Don Emilio? I think he's the governor's brother-in-law.
He rubs elbows with the top brass You know how important that is for your father.
But I don't trust that man.
How much money are we talking about? It was a scam the size of a grand piano.
The first of many in those three days and nights.
And as far as scams are concerned, I have to admit I'm a pro.
They're nice and hot.
Yeah, really hot.
They're selling fast.
-All right? -Here's your change.
See you later.
Thank you.
-Look at that necklace.
-It's pretty.
You're so handsome.
Keep your eye on the ball and win the cash.
Where is it? Come on, make your bets! You can win a bunch of money! I'll make a bet.
Where's the ball? There's the ball! Well, there's the ball! See how easy it is? -Where's the money? -Yours and mine.
Great! Take your chance, enjoy it! You want to make a bet? All right, come on! That's more like it! Let's see Now, seriously.
How do you do this? -Magicians don't reveal their tricks.
-They don't keep people's money.
You have to scam a lot of people to get that good.
The trick isn't in the hand, it's up here.
-The hard part is getting them to bet.
-So you show cleavage? So we use a lure, to make them think they can win.
Once they put money down, hiding the ball is child's play.
Sole and I used to come here to count the money.
It's a good place to build a house.
It's a good place to live.
We'd sit here gawking at the lights of Torremolinos.
We dreamt of living there.
Well, now you do, right Owlet? Space in the best industrial area, Torremolinos' Heaven.
This heaven is fucking hell.
That's the office, downstairs is the warehouse, and this is the machine room, ready to go into production, that is, if we only had machines.
Now what? Now? Well we'll be lucky if we can sell it for a fraction of what we paid.
That's it? -That bastard scammed us! -That's not true! Don Emilio lost money, too.
I'm sure he won't lose his house.
Don't listen to mom, she doesn't have a clue.
-It's not that serious.
-No? It's not that serious! I'll go talk to the bank.
Talk about what? First the holdup, now this! What is wrong with you? It seemed like a good investment, damn it! -A good investment? -Yes! No.
You just saw this as a chance to make easy money, you were blinded and you got swindled, asshole! What did you want it for? Another of your patriotic battles? I told you, I'll handle it.
Hello? Hi! Great! At the usual place, right? OK, see you then.
Drivers, to the starting gate.
Where are we going, Fredo? Gaditano and Calatrava.
Just one kilo? We've been here two weeks, aren't you going to bet on us? Betting is for casinos, here, you do as I say.
-Come on, Fredo! -Come on, get going! What's up, man? Ready for a day at the beach? Of course, I've been working all week.
Listen, Toribio from Seville called.
He setting up shop in Huelva and wants a large shipment.
But he want's it now, before tomorrow night.
-How much? -200 kilos.
I know that's a lot in one go, but I'll go to Seville myself and bring back 12 million in cash.
-What if the police stops you? -Don't scare me, man! That's not going to happen! You know what? You're right.
I'm going to tell him it's 15 million minimum, OK? OK.
Hold on.
Take this, just in case.
Damn! What did I have? Money? An office? No! On the Board of Directors, I had Nicolás Franco Bahamonde himself, Franco's brother, he signed everything.
Emilio Tortajada, he's got close ties to the regional government.
He's a charlatan, a good tipper, but untrustworthy.
Why, exactly? Whenever you hear someone talking about nonexistent rezoning laws, vanishing investment funds, or families whose savings disappear, that's where you'll find him.
So he's the cream of the crop.
If you had asked me sooner, we could've warned your father.
I didn't know about it either.
What more do you know about him? I don't really know anything else.
Rumor has it he goes to Morocco a lot, and not to reconquer the Sahara, if you know what I mean.
It sucks to feel like you've been conned.
But you know what's even worse? Conning your loved ones.
That's when you know you've become a real son of a bitch.
-Son -What is it? Charo had to go out, I was babysitting but What happened to the baby? -I swear I was only using it to cook.
-Fuck! I swear I was only using it to cook! -How is he? -Don't go inside.
They're checking on him.
They pumped his stomach.
Damn my mother.
-Damn my mother! -Don't blame her.
I told you I had to go to Malaga, and you said you had the day off and you'd look after him.
Where the hell have you been all day? Some people don't mind being a dick, but that was not my case: that moment marked a change of direction in my career as a love hustler.
This is what we call a soap bar.
See how black and sticky it is? Touch it.
-It has almost no vegetable matter.
-Is good? Of course, that makes it go to your head.
How do you know all this? This is my line of business.
I get it delivered straight from Morocco.
-Are you really a drug trafficker? -Hey! I won't say a word without my lawyer present.
Want to dance? It takes real balls to get into certain businesses.
It's definitely not a cakewalk.
Like in any field, you have to command respect.
Of course.
And how do you go about commanding respect? It's important to look the part, keeping fit, wearing a nice jacket And it helps to have support.
We'd better be careful with you! I bet you have exciting anecdotes about the business.
If you only knew! I'd love to hear them.
Waiter! One more round! Good morning.
By the way, it's my second night with no sleep.
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
-What are you, moonlighting? -Yeah, his dick is moonlighting! Don't mess with my dick or you'll be sorry.
All right.
What's going on? Emilio Tortajada, a profiteer associated with real estate scams, thriving businesses with empty warehouses.
-Give him this.
-What's he doing here? -Was he the victim? -No.
It was someone I know.
And? It seems in addition to real estate, Emilio has other businesses.
I told you, I don't really know much.
He bought a shipment from me a while ago, but I no longer Now he's negotiating with another Moroccan family.
How much hashish are we talking about? I don't know.
When is the exchange? Who is he selling it to? -Thanks, you can go now.
-Wait! -Aren't we going to do anything? -Based on what evidence? I know he's dealing! Your intuition is not enough, we have much stronger leads, you heard the Commissioner, we need results now.
What do you think? Maybe we don't need much more I hate to be a party pooper, guys, but before arresting a drug dealer, you have to make sure they're dealing drugs.
-He just told us! -We need a lure.
-Come on! -A what? Like in the shell game scam! Everything all right? -I got stopped at the intersection.
-What? -They searched me.
-Where's the money? -Don't worry, boss, I'm just the lead.
-Good.
Hold on, Chino.
Didn't you have a van? Here, try this one.
Chino! What are you doing here? -What about you? -I'm working.
My brother pulled some strings.
What? You're too good for this, let's go! No, I just started! It's such a nice day! Let me treat you to seafood on the beach.
No way.
-I have money.
-Put that away.
-Where's your boss? -Don't! Where is this girl's boss? Hi, I'll take her, OK? No need to wrap her up.
All right.
-You? Work here? Doing what? -Whatever you need.
Look, I can wash glasses, serve drinks or scrub toilets.
Look! What do you think this is? A charity? -She's hard-working and reliable.
-Sure, like you.
María Elena, please.
Try her out for a week, you won't regret it! I have enough trouble with one thief, I don't need two.
Cast the nets, throw in the line, hook the bait Do you know why swindlers use fishing jargon? Because the techniques used to catch a tuna and scam a sucker aren't all that different.
For starters, you need good fishing equipment.
Or like my Owlet used to say: lures.
-Man, you sure look elegant! -Who do you think you're talking to? You could've done better, pal.
I'm just the bodyguard, the rich kid's the star of the film, man! -How much did you get? -Let's see Between the money we seized and what we had in the safe, -You have enough to buy 20 kilos.
-Wow-- Don't touch! We won't show them the money unless it's necessary.
Let's not piss off the Commissioner.
Just stay nearby just in case, and let us adults do our job.
-Where are the girls? -Wait, what girls? I can't pass as a drug dealer hanging out with him! We'll look queer! Are they trustworthy? Do you know them? No.
That rich kid's a charmer! He's got a gift for gab.
Seriously! Such class! Room 105, please.
Yes.
Charo! It's me.
How is the baby? He's resting.
Did you get the test results? They don't know anything yet, but don't worry.
Just do your thing.
OK.
By the way, where are you? I'm working, for a change, I have to go.
We'll talk later, OK? You look handsome today! Are you here to see me? I'm working.
No need to be so rude! -Are you playing bad cop? -I'm part of an operation! -Anything to do with the Penas? -No.
I saw Atila a few days ago.
-Really? Did you arrest him? -No, he was armed, I wasn't.
Why didn't you tell me yesterday? Because, to be honest, it's not good for you to-- What the fuck do you know? You don't give a shit about me! Of course I give a shit! What am I? Your hired gun? -What? Leave me alone! -Listen to me, I would do anything for you! But revenge does no one any good! Anything else you want to share? Friends, pay attention, because here we have the mark, the victim, the prey, the sucker, or as we say here in Malaga, the catch.
Although, in this case, calling him a catch is a bit of a stretch.
We were about to sit here.
I'm afraid it's too late.
Let's work things out like friends.
Have a bottle of Montparnasse on me.
The night is young.
So Let's rest a minute.
He'd better drink the bottle or else! Excuse me! A bottle of champagne, please.
-You know what? -What? I'm crazy about you.
What did you smoke? I could look at you all night.
But you have to work.
-Want a ride home? -Hold on, I'll be right back.
Come over here.
-Are you going out with her? -What do you care? I don't care one bit, but Look Maybe her brother does care.
What? No! He's her brother? Vicky and Bruno are siblings? Yes, but don't worry, I have good and bad news for you.
The good news is that, if you hurt her, Bruno won't cut your balls off.
You know why? Because before he can, and this is the bad news, I'll tear them right off myself.
-Got that? -Got it.
Good.
Now take her home and we'll all be happy.
This is on Mr.
Soto.
On who? Mr.
Soto, owner of Montparnasse Champagne.
-Take the bottle back.
-Excuse me? Take the bottle back to him, I don't want anything from that guy.
Excuse me for asking, sir.
Do you know who Mr.
Soto is? He's one of the biggest businessmen in the Costa del Sol.
Just between you and me, I don't really like him.
But he has so much money Why not accept his invitation? Having made the introduction, we need someone to attract the sucker's attention, what is commonly known as: the hook.
Don Emilio! How nice to see you! Capitano! Look at you! You son of a bitch.
-Where did you leave the camel? -The camel! -Come sit down with us.
-OK, I'll sit.
Come this way.
Get him a drink! Not jeers, cheers! -Long time no see! -Long time! I mean a really long time! Hey, isn't that Cristian Soto? I thought he was away.
What is he doing here? You know that guy? Of course, we've done a lot of business together.
-Have you? -Yeah.
What kind of business did you do with him? The same kind I did with you.
There you have it, the catch has caught sight of the bait.
Come on little guy, take the bait.
We're done, boss.
Now what? We're going to Seville, avoiding the highway.
We'll take side roads, like with the mopeds.
I'll drive ahead in my car.
If I see the police or anything, I'll warn you and you are to come back immediately.
Capitano! Long time no see! -What's up? -How are you? How are you? Having a drink with friends, just like you.
Although I must admit your friends are prettier.
And classier.
You know Emilio Tortajada, don't you? We had a little misunderstanding earlier.
But I'll forgive and forget.
Me too.
-Have a seat? -OK.
So what brings you to Torremolinos? Same as you, I suppose, business.
-Business? What are you selling? -Oh, I'm not here to sell.
-I'm here to buy.
-Buy? Maybe you can help me, for old time's sake? Well, actually, I'm expecting a top-quality shipment next week, maybe I can ask I need it now, a supplier failed me and I'm going back to Lyon tomorrow.
-Impossible.
-Don't tell me you can't do it! Maybe Don Emilio can help you.
Yeah? Are you in the business? Emilio deals top quality.
He's a really good businessman.
In fact, I just received a shipment.
-How much do you want? -All of it.
How much have you got? What I have are a bunch of commitments.
We'll see.
Let them wait.
I pay good money.
How much have you got? Don't worry, I have other suppliers.
OK, then.
Bye.
What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? Or was it your girlfriend? Clean off the lipstick What's wrong? I'm in a bind, Franchi.
-Vicky is Bruno's sister.
-You mean the cop? I don't know what to do.
That girl's got a hold on me, damn it! I know what she's got a hold on, Chino.
We're being assaulted! We need help! Fuck! We're being assaulted! We need help, damn it! Fuck! Fredo speaking, what's wrong? Chino, Franchi, are you there? Damn it, Fredo.
Oh, shit! Get out, damn it! Fucking hell! -Come on.
-I haven't done anything.
Open it.
This road couldn't be any narrower.
-Open it.
-Open the door, damn it! -Move.
-There's nothing here.
Atila! We just won the lottery! Shit! Load the merchandise in the car.
Now.
Now, damn it! Fuck! -Cristo! -What? Keep watch here.
Shit! Come on, I don't have all night! Want me to help? I'm getting bored.
We're all done, look.
Drop the gun! Fredo! Don't! -Are you OK.
-Yes.
Bastard! Start the car! Let's go! -Look -I am -From Cadiz.
-Cadiz? This guy has five to ten kilos, tops.
I'm telling you, he's got at least 20.
-Then why won't he take the bait? -He needs time! We just met.
You were a bit too quick to make an offer.
Stop criticizing me and help me! Listen, we're here because I backed you up.
Martín didn't want to do it.
Waitress! The bill.
-What now? -He's leaving.
-I don't know.
-No.
Tell Martín.
I'll wait for you here.
Emilio, what's he matter? Aren't you interested in that deal? I think it's a good opportunity.
You have a better nose for business than I do, but -Is he looking? -Yes, open the briefcase.
Look, this is absurd.
You think he'll think I'm another seller? He may or may not.
Just open it.
Open it, damn it! Do you know that guy who's talking to Soto? No.
OK.
Do you think they're making a deal? You know more about this than I do, but it certainly looks like it.
Sole, please behave yourself! What for? I'm just a piece of shit.
I live in La Carihuela, all I have is other people's castoffs.
-You're drunk! -No, I'm alone! -Go outside and get some air.
-I don't want to! What's the matter? Are you ashamed of me, too? Well, you know what? How convenient for you that your dad died! Good news! Don Emilio thought things over and he's willing to do a deal with you.
I'm sorry guys, it's too late.
I found a supplier.
If you'll excuse me How much is he offering you? Emilio, I really appreciate it, but I don't think we can do business together.
No offense, but you're not up to par.
I don't do petty deals.
I'm in the business of supplying reefer for all of Lyon, got that? I think you over did it, man.
As I told you, I have a bunch of commitments.
But I can put them off and sell you everything.
Forget it.
Really.
Would 100 kilos do? Can I have them tonight? Under one condition.
He wants to see the money first.
Ten million.
-You're kidding? -What? He's willing to sell us 100 kilos, but he wants to see the cash first.
-Ten million.
-But we only have two! -We can tell him we want less-- -No! -That would just make him bail out.
-So, what now then? -We have to go full throttle.
-Look at him! Weren't you against this whole thing? Let's think things through.
What if this is a scam and he wants to keep our dough? I think it's worth trying.
A hundred kilos is more than we've ever confiscated.
Imagine flaunting that in the Commissioner's face! Who do you think you are? Ringo Starr? It's ten million! Where can we find ten million at four a.
m.
? It's just impossible, Hippie! Come with me.
Honey bear? I was looking for you.
Have I got news! You know Sole, Owlet's friend? You should see her dancing.
She dances like a real star! Sole can dance? Can she dance? She's an artist! Hello? Reyes, I need you at the shop.
What are you doing here? Weren't you going to Seville? You have one hour.
What's the matter? Honey bear This shit sure is good.
Montparnasse.
I've always wondered how you got the bubbles in the bottle.
If you ever need a funding partner, count me in.
You seem to have a lot of money.
What do you do, aside from Investments.
Land, housing, businesses I buy things no one wants and resell them at a good price.
Right.
And how do you do that? Let's just say I have good contacts in the government.
The old government or the new one? People think that democracy means we're going to be ruled by the people, fuck the people! The people can choose which Barbie they want to rule them, but, ultimately, we're always going to stay in power.
-Franco's supporters? -No, wise guys.
Do you think democrats don't like making money for nothing? They like it as much as anyone.
It makes no difference who's in power, what really matters is what's up here.
Hey, this isn't too bad.
It's not good, but it's not bad.
You get used to it.
-Where were you? -Oh, you know, ever try waking a bank manager at four a.
m.
to open the branch for you? Don't bother trying it, it doesn't work.
Fuck it, who cares? We have two million at the Camelot.
OK, so I'll add 20,000.
-My life's savings.
-I have 15,000.
If my girlfriend knew, she'd kill me.
-Damn the anarchist! How'd you save up 100,000 pesetas? Not 100,000, just 100 until pay day.
That's not enough material.
I don't think it'll work.
You don't think what will work? It's thinner than the 1,000 peseta bill, but it's the best I could find.
Are we counterfeiters now? He just wants to see the money, he won't open the bag.
Plus, just in case, I fiddled with the zipper so it only opens up to here.
So we put the false bills at the bottom and the real ones on top where he can see them.
It's perfect.
Twenty hectares of land, farmland, it cost me three million pesetas plus another half a million to get Malaga's governor to have it rezoned.
Now it's worth ten times as much! The governor, the unions They're all your puppets.
Do you do little deals with the military, too? Little deals Let me tell you about the latest deal I've done, with an old general.
I had my eye on a small business, a print shop, they wanted three million pesetas.
I offered it to What's his name? Quintano? No, sorry, Quintiliano Villa.
So I offered him the business, we made a deal, we went in on it 50/50, filled in all the paperwork, took the money to the bank, and when we went to see the place Speaking of the military this is the finest rearguard I've seen in quite a while! What time do you get off work, babe? What do you care? Don't worry.
I'll take care of this.
I know the owners.
Fuck! Sit back down! Perfect! Who want's to try it? -I'll do it.
-Well then, come on.
How are you? Let's see what you've got over here.
-Don't rummage about! -I have to, the zipper is closing-- That's too much! You're elbow-deep in it! I need to see the money! These are nice bills.
I told you not to rummage about so much! -You know why? -Why? -Because your plan sucks.
-Really? Let's hear yours.
Stop it, damn it! You stop rummaging and you open the zipper, damn it! I mean, if that's OK with you.
Can we? Thank you.
And it's the ones on top, OK? On top.
Come on.
Don Emilio, see, here's the money.
-Yolanda! -This is the women's bathroom! -There was nothing I could do.
-Right.
You can never do anything because you don't care.
-This is an operation.
-An operation? -You promised you'd find the Penas.
-Bruno's in charge of that.
Bruno told me to forget about it.
I need help, Leo.
Keep your promise.
I'm sorry.
We have the money.
Don't come near our table.
That slut hit me so hard, she broke my glasses! -They're OK-- -They're broken! -That's that.
-But at least you're OK.
The manager said he'll fire the waitress.
Forget about that.
We have more important matters to deal with, right? Ten million.
-Let's have a look.
-First, let's toast.
Here's to a fair deal, and the first of many.
-Let's see.
-Oops! I'm all right! Here you go, Capitano, for services rendered.
You can go now.
All right, then.
Good luck.
You should come to Cadiz sometime! Save yourself the trouble.
We want to see the merchandise.
José Manuel, go get it.
Meet me in half an hour in the parking lot at the spa.
Did you see that guy? Follow him and finish off the job.
-All right, then, let's go.
-Where are you going? We've still got some champagne left! Let's just have one more glass.
Plus, we can't close the deal until you meet my partner, right? To your health! Have a seat, man! You're late.
It's not nice to make a partner wait.
-You and I aren't partners.
-We are now.
We get 50%.
This business is very lucrative, but it's also very vulnerable.
Just imagine your employee gets drunk, he starts blabbing, and all of a sudden, someone comes and steals a 200-kilo shipment.
Are you offering me protection? That's blackmail! Blackmail would be if I threatened to hand this notebook to the police.
The blonde guy, five kilos, 500,000.
The Argentine, ten kilos, one million.
Calatrava, one kilo, 100,000.
Delivered to Reyes-Camelot, August 20th-September 1st.
Did you keep track of accounts in this notebook? Yes.
Including the last one, Toribio, 200 kilos, 20 million.
-I'll kill you! Son of a bitch! -Reyes! Calm down.
There's no reason the police have to see this.
Partners don't play dirty tricks on each other.
Right? Who is his partner? Beats me.
But we can't leave until he gets here.
What if it's a trap? I hope not.
His partner's here.
-Are you OK? -I'm never drinking champagne again! Right.
Come on, let's go.
Let's go! The tricky part of pulling off a scam is that it's not math, and aside from the lure, the catch and the hook, at a certain point there's always an unknown variable.
Are you OK? Calm down, man! I'm only trying to help! -Let's go.
-No, I can't go back there! Why not? -Emilio's partner.
-What's wrong? He's my brother.
Is this a coincidence? That guy scammed my father.
It seems my brother was in on it.
-You little bastard! -I started investigating the scam, but, like Capitano told us, the guy is a dealer.
-Is he trying to scam us? -He won't scam us.
Just help me get rid of my brother and everything will be fine.
-Please, trust me.
-What car does he drive? -What? -What car does your brother drive? -A red Mirafiori, why? -Wait here.
Owlet, I need your help.
-Bruno, leave me alone! -Leo's in danger.
Any of you drive a red Mirafiori? Be careful with this cat, she scratches.
-Didn't you get fired? -No.
Oh, really? Then you owe me a pair of glasses.
-I'm sure we can work something out.
-Wait a minute, sir.
I came in here to tell them there's a Mirafiori getting towed.
-What's the license plate? -What do I know? It's a wreck.
And it's red.
-Fuck! -Wait a minute, man.
I'm going to introduce you to a buyer you just will not believe! He wants 100 kilos in one go.
-I have to get my car back! -Forget the car, man! With the money we make tonight, you can buy five more sports cars.
That money isn't for me.
So what do I do about the deal? You close it, I trust you.
Son of a bitch.
What's going on? Take that guy to the station.
-And leave you alone? -That's OK.
Come on, hurry! When they bring out the weed, we'll arrest them, OK? -OK.
-Stay behind me and keep quiet.
-Yes, sir.
-Do you have your badge? Yes.
-Where the fuck are they? -Beats me.
Fucking hell! TORREMOLINOS' HEAVEN INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX -Do you think they're armed? -Of course.
All right, so we're tied.
-How long should we wait? -Just a little while, then we'll pretend to be offended that the drugs aren't here and leave.
-I don't have to pretend to be offended.
-Relax, man, our lives are on the line.
Listen, I trusted you, now you owe me one.
I don't care what that bastard did to your family, don't fuck up again.
Omega 1 to Omega 3, Inspector López, can you hear me? -What do you want? -We lost the bird.
I repeat, we lost the bird.
Shit! We don't have the drugs, over.
We're fucked! What should we do? Just prey they get here first.
You better step on it and get here before they do, Lucas.
OK, over and out.
Ready? As ready as I can be with no sleep.
What about you? As ready as I can be after all that champagne.
-Where's the merchandise? -It's on its way.
Why don't we go ahead and count the cash? Let's leave it in the car until the merchandise arrives.
Where's your partner? My partner had to leave, I told you.
Is he also your partner in this type of business? Especially in this type of business.
The bastard would do anything to realize his dream.
-What's his dream? -To undermine democracy and restore the dictatorship.
He's fucking crazy.
He'd do absolutely anything to resurrect Franco.
Remember the old general I told you about? I didn't finish the story.
So we get to the building, we open the door, and there's no trace of the machinery.
My partner had sold it to scam his own father! He is such a son of a bitch! You should've seen the look on the old sucker's face.
You know what we did with the money? We went to Morocco and bought the merchandise we're about to sell to you.
What do you think? But, you know what? That old man deserved it.
He's the typical guy who still places value on honor and traditional values.
That's why he trusts me.
Can you believe the sucker? What are you doing? Stop it! Stop it! -You're a fucking scammer! -Stop it, damn it! All right, that's enough.
-Don't move.
-OK.
Everyone, calm down.
Look.
It's OK, see? We're leaving.
-What the hell happened? -He doesn't trust you! -What's your problem? -Just forget the deal.
What do you mean? We have the merchandise here! What the fuck happened? I was telling you about some sucker and you took it personally! Son of a bitch! Do you know that old piece of shit? You're the piece of shit! He's my father! You bastard! He's my father! -Damn it! -José Manuel, get the money! You're as much of a cocksucker as your father.
The tires! Let's go, Kiko.
You motherfucking idiot! Christ! -I'm coming! -Get in, damn it! Dear Lord, Fredo! What did they do to you? Wait till I'm done with him! Thanks to your brother's stupidity, the Penas stole 200 kilos from us.
200 kilos? Fredo, is that true? -At least he's alive! -Alive! Alive! We'll never get these savages off our backs again! Now they're our partners.
Partners! We have to give them 50%.
Do you know why? This dumbass had an accounting ledger and they stole it! And my name is written all over it! Why would you keep a written record? What was I supposed to do? Memorize everything? -No! -I'll kill you! Get out of here! I don't want to see you again! He's not very bright, but he did it for our sake! For our sake? He told me he'd get 15 million for the 200 kilos.
You know what he wrote down? 20 million.
Your brother was swindling us out of five million pesetas.
Get out! Get out of my house! You ungrateful little bastard! Get out of my house! Get out or I'll kill you! You hear me? -What the hell happened? -The rich kid lost it, our money's gone.
Two million! Wait till the Commissioner finds out! The Commissioner? Wait till my girlfriend finds out! I fucked up.
I'll pay for it.
Yeah, right.
Why don't we search the area where you lost the car? That's like looking for a needle in a haystack! Torremolinos' Heaven is huge! -What did you say? -Torremolinos' Heaven.
-It's that industrial area downhill from-- -Get in the cars! -What's the matter? -I know where they're hiding the drugs.
Come on, hurry up! Put everything in the trunk, this place isn't safe! Son of a bitch! He was trying to get revenge! OK! This one's good! This one is too.
And this one.
Fuck him! There's at least two million in here.
-We're ready to go, boss.
-Let's go! Get me a painkiller! I have a champagne headache! Where are you off to in such a hurry? You, go on! Do you mind? This money is ours.
Hand it over, damn it! Get out! Where's that stuff you bought with my father's money? -I don't know what stuff you mean.
-That's what happens with age, you lose your mind.
Come on, let's see the trunk.
Come on, damn it! Let's go! Come on! Let's go, damn it! Come on, you're like a different man.
Open it.
You don't know who you're dealing with.
You know what? Pulling off a scam is great.
It makes you feel superior, you get a huge adrenaline rush.
-What's this? -You wanted results.
You have enough results here to build a wall.
-How much is there? -A lot.
Maybe now we can talk about the budget.
-I told you everything would be OK.
-Next time, if you don't mind, tell me the truth before we get our heads blown off.
Listen, Leo, you know I would risk my life for you.
I have no problem with that.
But you have to confide in me.
As far as equipment, we have I promise I will.
Well There he is.
Good luck, pal.
What's the matter? Why the hell am I being detained? You scammed your father and trafficked drugs, -what do you think? -You're imagining things.
Emilio Tortajada told me everything.
How you convinced Father to invest, how you sold all the machinery and bought the drugs in Morocco.
Did you go in the building? Get me out of here! Are you joking? You'll get at least ten years.
You don't understand, I invested everything in that shipment! -So what? -What do you mean so what? I told you I'd pay off Father's debt! How can I pay it off if you confiscate everything and throw me in jail? Leo you have two options.
Either you get me out of this, or your parents will get evicted.
Lucas! Put him in the holding cell.
Pulling off a scam is great.
But getting scammed sucks.
Especially when the scammers are your nearest and dearest.
This way.
-Upstairs? -Yeah.
We can talk quietly upstairs.
But the Grim Reaper puts each of us in his place.
He has a really nasty corner reserved for con artists.
And after all the scams I've pulled off, I'm going straight to hell.
Or maybe not.
That's easy enough to say, but it's a bitch to go through.
He stopped breathing.
Hypertension.
6.
3 and it's coming down.
His heart's stopped.
Hurry, let's intubate him.
Adrenaline.
According to that definition, I died on December 1, 1977 at exactly 2:14 a.
m.
"Rest in peace" they say.
THREE MONTHS BEFORE Who needs rest? Not me.
Not even that time I didn't sleep a wink in three days.
How was the night shift? This was better than a hotel suite.
Any news? Jeez.
Well the cat that lives over there went across the street, and the neighbor over there took the garbage out in his underwear.
-That beats the last two nights.
-Yeah.
So should we go to headquarters? And see Cifu's face? Home? I could've seized the opportunity to go to bed, but what was the point? I won't die of old age anyway.
Plus, at that point, I'd only stayed up one night.
WELCOME TO TORREMOLINOS See you tomorrow.
You look like you got hit by a truck.
The bad guys won't let me catch them.
No wonder, that face would make anyone run away.
So? -Do you still want to kill me? -I never wanted to kill you.
I just wanted to torture you a bit.
Should we go? Where? I don't know.
OK, let's go.
But I'll decide where.
-Go ahead and explain.
-The Penas are thugs, bank robbers, they're not like the other gangs we've arrested.
So what? There must be a go-between we still don't know.
This is just one of the gangs, and Alsi is just one of the suppliers.
According to our informant, each of these gangs could be trafficking up to 100 kg a month, that's in Torremolinos alone.
1,200 kg a year.
Exactly, on the street that's worth about 400 million pesetas.
In other words, 400 million pesetas -versus 500,000.
-Where'd you get that 500,000? The department's budget, it's what the police spends on fighting drug trafficking.
-Are you asking me for a raise? -No.
We're asking you for resources.
We need more men on the streets, more money for informants, for equipment, communications, speedboats-- Why not a helicopter on the roof? Who do you think you are? The S.
W.
A.
T.
team? It's been two weeks since you confiscated so much as a joint! We were after a false lead! If you want more resources, I need results! How can we get results if we have no means? Look, put a few kilos on my desktop, and then we'll talk.
Thanks a lot for your support.
That guy is such a prick.
Mom! -What are you doing here? -Leo! What's the matter? The bank manager came to see us yesterday.
He said he can't keep putting it off, that we need to make the mortgage payments.
What mortgage? That's what I asked him.
What mortgage? It seems your dad put a lien on the house to invest in a company.
-What? -Don Emilio said it was a sure bet.
Who is Don Emilio? I think he's the governor's brother-in-law.
He rubs elbows with the top brass You know how important that is for your father.
But I don't trust that man.
How much money are we talking about? It was a scam the size of a grand piano.
The first of many in those three days and nights.
And as far as scams are concerned, I have to admit I'm a pro.
They're nice and hot.
Yeah, really hot.
They're selling fast.
-All right? -Here's your change.
See you later.
Thank you.
-Look at that necklace.
-It's pretty.
You're so handsome.
Keep your eye on the ball and win the cash.
Where is it? Come on, make your bets! You can win a bunch of money! I'll make a bet.
Where's the ball? There's the ball! Well, there's the ball! See how easy it is? -Where's the money? -Yours and mine.
Great! Take your chance, enjoy it! You want to make a bet? All right, come on! That's more like it! Let's see Now, seriously.
How do you do this? -Magicians don't reveal their tricks.
-They don't keep people's money.
You have to scam a lot of people to get that good.
The trick isn't in the hand, it's up here.
-The hard part is getting them to bet.
-So you show cleavage? So we use a lure, to make them think they can win.
Once they put money down, hiding the ball is child's play.
Sole and I used to come here to count the money.
It's a good place to build a house.
It's a good place to live.
We'd sit here gawking at the lights of Torremolinos.
We dreamt of living there.
Well, now you do, right Owlet? Space in the best industrial area, Torremolinos' Heaven.
This heaven is fucking hell.
That's the office, downstairs is the warehouse, and this is the machine room, ready to go into production, that is, if we only had machines.
Now what? Now? Well we'll be lucky if we can sell it for a fraction of what we paid.
That's it? -That bastard scammed us! -That's not true! Don Emilio lost money, too.
I'm sure he won't lose his house.
Don't listen to mom, she doesn't have a clue.
-It's not that serious.
-No? It's not that serious! I'll go talk to the bank.
Talk about what? First the holdup, now this! What is wrong with you? It seemed like a good investment, damn it! -A good investment? -Yes! No.
You just saw this as a chance to make easy money, you were blinded and you got swindled, asshole! What did you want it for? Another of your patriotic battles? I told you, I'll handle it.
Hello? Hi! Great! At the usual place, right? OK, see you then.
Drivers, to the starting gate.
Where are we going, Fredo? Gaditano and Calatrava.
Just one kilo? We've been here two weeks, aren't you going to bet on us? Betting is for casinos, here, you do as I say.
-Come on, Fredo! -Come on, get going! What's up, man? Ready for a day at the beach? Of course, I've been working all week.
Listen, Toribio from Seville called.
He setting up shop in Huelva and wants a large shipment.
But he want's it now, before tomorrow night.
-How much? -200 kilos.
I know that's a lot in one go, but I'll go to Seville myself and bring back 12 million in cash.
-What if the police stops you? -Don't scare me, man! That's not going to happen! You know what? You're right.
I'm going to tell him it's 15 million minimum, OK? OK.
Hold on.
Take this, just in case.
Damn! What did I have? Money? An office? No! On the Board of Directors, I had Nicolás Franco Bahamonde himself, Franco's brother, he signed everything.
Emilio Tortajada, he's got close ties to the regional government.
He's a charlatan, a good tipper, but untrustworthy.
Why, exactly? Whenever you hear someone talking about nonexistent rezoning laws, vanishing investment funds, or families whose savings disappear, that's where you'll find him.
So he's the cream of the crop.
If you had asked me sooner, we could've warned your father.
I didn't know about it either.
What more do you know about him? I don't really know anything else.
Rumor has it he goes to Morocco a lot, and not to reconquer the Sahara, if you know what I mean.
It sucks to feel like you've been conned.
But you know what's even worse? Conning your loved ones.
That's when you know you've become a real son of a bitch.
-Son -What is it? Charo had to go out, I was babysitting but What happened to the baby? -I swear I was only using it to cook.
-Fuck! I swear I was only using it to cook! -How is he? -Don't go inside.
They're checking on him.
They pumped his stomach.
Damn my mother.
-Damn my mother! -Don't blame her.
I told you I had to go to Malaga, and you said you had the day off and you'd look after him.
Where the hell have you been all day? Some people don't mind being a dick, but that was not my case: that moment marked a change of direction in my career as a love hustler.
This is what we call a soap bar.
See how black and sticky it is? Touch it.
-It has almost no vegetable matter.
-Is good? Of course, that makes it go to your head.
How do you know all this? This is my line of business.
I get it delivered straight from Morocco.
-Are you really a drug trafficker? -Hey! I won't say a word without my lawyer present.
Want to dance? It takes real balls to get into certain businesses.
It's definitely not a cakewalk.
Like in any field, you have to command respect.
Of course.
And how do you go about commanding respect? It's important to look the part, keeping fit, wearing a nice jacket And it helps to have support.
We'd better be careful with you! I bet you have exciting anecdotes about the business.
If you only knew! I'd love to hear them.
Waiter! One more round! Good morning.
By the way, it's my second night with no sleep.
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
-What are you, moonlighting? -Yeah, his dick is moonlighting! Don't mess with my dick or you'll be sorry.
All right.
What's going on? Emilio Tortajada, a profiteer associated with real estate scams, thriving businesses with empty warehouses.
-Give him this.
-What's he doing here? -Was he the victim? -No.
It was someone I know.
And? It seems in addition to real estate, Emilio has other businesses.
I told you, I don't really know much.
He bought a shipment from me a while ago, but I no longer Now he's negotiating with another Moroccan family.
How much hashish are we talking about? I don't know.
When is the exchange? Who is he selling it to? -Thanks, you can go now.
-Wait! -Aren't we going to do anything? -Based on what evidence? I know he's dealing! Your intuition is not enough, we have much stronger leads, you heard the Commissioner, we need results now.
What do you think? Maybe we don't need much more I hate to be a party pooper, guys, but before arresting a drug dealer, you have to make sure they're dealing drugs.
-He just told us! -We need a lure.
-Come on! -A what? Like in the shell game scam! Everything all right? -I got stopped at the intersection.
-What? -They searched me.
-Where's the money? -Don't worry, boss, I'm just the lead.
-Good.
Hold on, Chino.
Didn't you have a van? Here, try this one.
Chino! What are you doing here? -What about you? -I'm working.
My brother pulled some strings.
What? You're too good for this, let's go! No, I just started! It's such a nice day! Let me treat you to seafood on the beach.
No way.
-I have money.
-Put that away.
-Where's your boss? -Don't! Where is this girl's boss? Hi, I'll take her, OK? No need to wrap her up.
All right.
-You? Work here? Doing what? -Whatever you need.
Look, I can wash glasses, serve drinks or scrub toilets.
Look! What do you think this is? A charity? -She's hard-working and reliable.
-Sure, like you.
María Elena, please.
Try her out for a week, you won't regret it! I have enough trouble with one thief, I don't need two.
Cast the nets, throw in the line, hook the bait Do you know why swindlers use fishing jargon? Because the techniques used to catch a tuna and scam a sucker aren't all that different.
For starters, you need good fishing equipment.
Or like my Owlet used to say: lures.
-Man, you sure look elegant! -Who do you think you're talking to? You could've done better, pal.
I'm just the bodyguard, the rich kid's the star of the film, man! -How much did you get? -Let's see Between the money we seized and what we had in the safe, -You have enough to buy 20 kilos.
-Wow-- Don't touch! We won't show them the money unless it's necessary.
Let's not piss off the Commissioner.
Just stay nearby just in case, and let us adults do our job.
-Where are the girls? -Wait, what girls? I can't pass as a drug dealer hanging out with him! We'll look queer! Are they trustworthy? Do you know them? No.
That rich kid's a charmer! He's got a gift for gab.
Seriously! Such class! Room 105, please.
Yes.
Charo! It's me.
How is the baby? He's resting.
Did you get the test results? They don't know anything yet, but don't worry.
Just do your thing.
OK.
By the way, where are you? I'm working, for a change, I have to go.
We'll talk later, OK? You look handsome today! Are you here to see me? I'm working.
No need to be so rude! -Are you playing bad cop? -I'm part of an operation! -Anything to do with the Penas? -No.
I saw Atila a few days ago.
-Really? Did you arrest him? -No, he was armed, I wasn't.
Why didn't you tell me yesterday? Because, to be honest, it's not good for you to-- What the fuck do you know? You don't give a shit about me! Of course I give a shit! What am I? Your hired gun? -What? Leave me alone! -Listen to me, I would do anything for you! But revenge does no one any good! Anything else you want to share? Friends, pay attention, because here we have the mark, the victim, the prey, the sucker, or as we say here in Malaga, the catch.
Although, in this case, calling him a catch is a bit of a stretch.
We were about to sit here.
I'm afraid it's too late.
Let's work things out like friends.
Have a bottle of Montparnasse on me.
The night is young.
So Let's rest a minute.
He'd better drink the bottle or else! Excuse me! A bottle of champagne, please.
-You know what? -What? I'm crazy about you.
What did you smoke? I could look at you all night.
But you have to work.
-Want a ride home? -Hold on, I'll be right back.
Come over here.
-Are you going out with her? -What do you care? I don't care one bit, but Look Maybe her brother does care.
What? No! He's her brother? Vicky and Bruno are siblings? Yes, but don't worry, I have good and bad news for you.
The good news is that, if you hurt her, Bruno won't cut your balls off.
You know why? Because before he can, and this is the bad news, I'll tear them right off myself.
-Got that? -Got it.
Good.
Now take her home and we'll all be happy.
This is on Mr.
Soto.
On who? Mr.
Soto, owner of Montparnasse Champagne.
-Take the bottle back.
-Excuse me? Take the bottle back to him, I don't want anything from that guy.
Excuse me for asking, sir.
Do you know who Mr.
Soto is? He's one of the biggest businessmen in the Costa del Sol.
Just between you and me, I don't really like him.
But he has so much money Why not accept his invitation? Having made the introduction, we need someone to attract the sucker's attention, what is commonly known as: the hook.
Don Emilio! How nice to see you! Capitano! Look at you! You son of a bitch.
-Where did you leave the camel? -The camel! -Come sit down with us.
-OK, I'll sit.
Come this way.
Get him a drink! Not jeers, cheers! -Long time no see! -Long time! I mean a really long time! Hey, isn't that Cristian Soto? I thought he was away.
What is he doing here? You know that guy? Of course, we've done a lot of business together.
-Have you? -Yeah.
What kind of business did you do with him? The same kind I did with you.
There you have it, the catch has caught sight of the bait.
Come on little guy, take the bait.
We're done, boss.
Now what? We're going to Seville, avoiding the highway.
We'll take side roads, like with the mopeds.
I'll drive ahead in my car.
If I see the police or anything, I'll warn you and you are to come back immediately.
Capitano! Long time no see! -What's up? -How are you? How are you? Having a drink with friends, just like you.
Although I must admit your friends are prettier.
And classier.
You know Emilio Tortajada, don't you? We had a little misunderstanding earlier.
But I'll forgive and forget.
Me too.
-Have a seat? -OK.
So what brings you to Torremolinos? Same as you, I suppose, business.
-Business? What are you selling? -Oh, I'm not here to sell.
-I'm here to buy.
-Buy? Maybe you can help me, for old time's sake? Well, actually, I'm expecting a top-quality shipment next week, maybe I can ask I need it now, a supplier failed me and I'm going back to Lyon tomorrow.
-Impossible.
-Don't tell me you can't do it! Maybe Don Emilio can help you.
Yeah? Are you in the business? Emilio deals top quality.
He's a really good businessman.
In fact, I just received a shipment.
-How much do you want? -All of it.
How much have you got? What I have are a bunch of commitments.
We'll see.
Let them wait.
I pay good money.
How much have you got? Don't worry, I have other suppliers.
OK, then.
Bye.
What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? Or was it your girlfriend? Clean off the lipstick What's wrong? I'm in a bind, Franchi.
-Vicky is Bruno's sister.
-You mean the cop? I don't know what to do.
That girl's got a hold on me, damn it! I know what she's got a hold on, Chino.
We're being assaulted! We need help! Fuck! We're being assaulted! We need help, damn it! Fuck! Fredo speaking, what's wrong? Chino, Franchi, are you there? Damn it, Fredo.
Oh, shit! Get out, damn it! Fucking hell! -Come on.
-I haven't done anything.
Open it.
This road couldn't be any narrower.
-Open it.
-Open the door, damn it! -Move.
-There's nothing here.
Atila! We just won the lottery! Shit! Load the merchandise in the car.
Now.
Now, damn it! Fuck! -Cristo! -What? Keep watch here.
Shit! Come on, I don't have all night! Want me to help? I'm getting bored.
We're all done, look.
Drop the gun! Fredo! Don't! -Are you OK.
-Yes.
Bastard! Start the car! Let's go! -Look -I am -From Cadiz.
-Cadiz? This guy has five to ten kilos, tops.
I'm telling you, he's got at least 20.
-Then why won't he take the bait? -He needs time! We just met.
You were a bit too quick to make an offer.
Stop criticizing me and help me! Listen, we're here because I backed you up.
Martín didn't want to do it.
Waitress! The bill.
-What now? -He's leaving.
-I don't know.
-No.
Tell Martín.
I'll wait for you here.
Emilio, what's he matter? Aren't you interested in that deal? I think it's a good opportunity.
You have a better nose for business than I do, but -Is he looking? -Yes, open the briefcase.
Look, this is absurd.
You think he'll think I'm another seller? He may or may not.
Just open it.
Open it, damn it! Do you know that guy who's talking to Soto? No.
OK.
Do you think they're making a deal? You know more about this than I do, but it certainly looks like it.
Sole, please behave yourself! What for? I'm just a piece of shit.
I live in La Carihuela, all I have is other people's castoffs.
-You're drunk! -No, I'm alone! -Go outside and get some air.
-I don't want to! What's the matter? Are you ashamed of me, too? Well, you know what? How convenient for you that your dad died! Good news! Don Emilio thought things over and he's willing to do a deal with you.
I'm sorry guys, it's too late.
I found a supplier.
If you'll excuse me How much is he offering you? Emilio, I really appreciate it, but I don't think we can do business together.
No offense, but you're not up to par.
I don't do petty deals.
I'm in the business of supplying reefer for all of Lyon, got that? I think you over did it, man.
As I told you, I have a bunch of commitments.
But I can put them off and sell you everything.
Forget it.
Really.
Would 100 kilos do? Can I have them tonight? Under one condition.
He wants to see the money first.
Ten million.
-You're kidding? -What? He's willing to sell us 100 kilos, but he wants to see the cash first.
-Ten million.
-But we only have two! -We can tell him we want less-- -No! -That would just make him bail out.
-So, what now then? -We have to go full throttle.
-Look at him! Weren't you against this whole thing? Let's think things through.
What if this is a scam and he wants to keep our dough? I think it's worth trying.
A hundred kilos is more than we've ever confiscated.
Imagine flaunting that in the Commissioner's face! Who do you think you are? Ringo Starr? It's ten million! Where can we find ten million at four a.
m.
? It's just impossible, Hippie! Come with me.
Honey bear? I was looking for you.
Have I got news! You know Sole, Owlet's friend? You should see her dancing.
She dances like a real star! Sole can dance? Can she dance? She's an artist! Hello? Reyes, I need you at the shop.
What are you doing here? Weren't you going to Seville? You have one hour.
What's the matter? Honey bear This shit sure is good.
Montparnasse.
I've always wondered how you got the bubbles in the bottle.
If you ever need a funding partner, count me in.
You seem to have a lot of money.
What do you do, aside from Investments.
Land, housing, businesses I buy things no one wants and resell them at a good price.
Right.
And how do you do that? Let's just say I have good contacts in the government.
The old government or the new one? People think that democracy means we're going to be ruled by the people, fuck the people! The people can choose which Barbie they want to rule them, but, ultimately, we're always going to stay in power.
-Franco's supporters? -No, wise guys.
Do you think democrats don't like making money for nothing? They like it as much as anyone.
It makes no difference who's in power, what really matters is what's up here.
Hey, this isn't too bad.
It's not good, but it's not bad.
You get used to it.
-Where were you? -Oh, you know, ever try waking a bank manager at four a.
m.
to open the branch for you? Don't bother trying it, it doesn't work.
Fuck it, who cares? We have two million at the Camelot.
OK, so I'll add 20,000.
-My life's savings.
-I have 15,000.
If my girlfriend knew, she'd kill me.
-Damn the anarchist! How'd you save up 100,000 pesetas? Not 100,000, just 100 until pay day.
That's not enough material.
I don't think it'll work.
You don't think what will work? It's thinner than the 1,000 peseta bill, but it's the best I could find.
Are we counterfeiters now? He just wants to see the money, he won't open the bag.
Plus, just in case, I fiddled with the zipper so it only opens up to here.
So we put the false bills at the bottom and the real ones on top where he can see them.
It's perfect.
Twenty hectares of land, farmland, it cost me three million pesetas plus another half a million to get Malaga's governor to have it rezoned.
Now it's worth ten times as much! The governor, the unions They're all your puppets.
Do you do little deals with the military, too? Little deals Let me tell you about the latest deal I've done, with an old general.
I had my eye on a small business, a print shop, they wanted three million pesetas.
I offered it to What's his name? Quintano? No, sorry, Quintiliano Villa.
So I offered him the business, we made a deal, we went in on it 50/50, filled in all the paperwork, took the money to the bank, and when we went to see the place Speaking of the military this is the finest rearguard I've seen in quite a while! What time do you get off work, babe? What do you care? Don't worry.
I'll take care of this.
I know the owners.
Fuck! Sit back down! Perfect! Who want's to try it? -I'll do it.
-Well then, come on.
How are you? Let's see what you've got over here.
-Don't rummage about! -I have to, the zipper is closing-- That's too much! You're elbow-deep in it! I need to see the money! These are nice bills.
I told you not to rummage about so much! -You know why? -Why? -Because your plan sucks.
-Really? Let's hear yours.
Stop it, damn it! You stop rummaging and you open the zipper, damn it! I mean, if that's OK with you.
Can we? Thank you.
And it's the ones on top, OK? On top.
Come on.
Don Emilio, see, here's the money.
-Yolanda! -This is the women's bathroom! -There was nothing I could do.
-Right.
You can never do anything because you don't care.
-This is an operation.
-An operation? -You promised you'd find the Penas.
-Bruno's in charge of that.
Bruno told me to forget about it.
I need help, Leo.
Keep your promise.
I'm sorry.
We have the money.
Don't come near our table.
That slut hit me so hard, she broke my glasses! -They're OK-- -They're broken! -That's that.
-But at least you're OK.
The manager said he'll fire the waitress.
Forget about that.
We have more important matters to deal with, right? Ten million.
-Let's have a look.
-First, let's toast.
Here's to a fair deal, and the first of many.
-Let's see.
-Oops! I'm all right! Here you go, Capitano, for services rendered.
You can go now.
All right, then.
Good luck.
You should come to Cadiz sometime! Save yourself the trouble.
We want to see the merchandise.
José Manuel, go get it.
Meet me in half an hour in the parking lot at the spa.
Did you see that guy? Follow him and finish off the job.
-All right, then, let's go.
-Where are you going? We've still got some champagne left! Let's just have one more glass.
Plus, we can't close the deal until you meet my partner, right? To your health! Have a seat, man! You're late.
It's not nice to make a partner wait.
-You and I aren't partners.
-We are now.
We get 50%.
This business is very lucrative, but it's also very vulnerable.
Just imagine your employee gets drunk, he starts blabbing, and all of a sudden, someone comes and steals a 200-kilo shipment.
Are you offering me protection? That's blackmail! Blackmail would be if I threatened to hand this notebook to the police.
The blonde guy, five kilos, 500,000.
The Argentine, ten kilos, one million.
Calatrava, one kilo, 100,000.
Delivered to Reyes-Camelot, August 20th-September 1st.
Did you keep track of accounts in this notebook? Yes.
Including the last one, Toribio, 200 kilos, 20 million.
-I'll kill you! Son of a bitch! -Reyes! Calm down.
There's no reason the police have to see this.
Partners don't play dirty tricks on each other.
Right? Who is his partner? Beats me.
But we can't leave until he gets here.
What if it's a trap? I hope not.
His partner's here.
-Are you OK? -I'm never drinking champagne again! Right.
Come on, let's go.
Let's go! The tricky part of pulling off a scam is that it's not math, and aside from the lure, the catch and the hook, at a certain point there's always an unknown variable.
Are you OK? Calm down, man! I'm only trying to help! -Let's go.
-No, I can't go back there! Why not? -Emilio's partner.
-What's wrong? He's my brother.
Is this a coincidence? That guy scammed my father.
It seems my brother was in on it.
-You little bastard! -I started investigating the scam, but, like Capitano told us, the guy is a dealer.
-Is he trying to scam us? -He won't scam us.
Just help me get rid of my brother and everything will be fine.
-Please, trust me.
-What car does he drive? -What? -What car does your brother drive? -A red Mirafiori, why? -Wait here.
Owlet, I need your help.
-Bruno, leave me alone! -Leo's in danger.
Any of you drive a red Mirafiori? Be careful with this cat, she scratches.
-Didn't you get fired? -No.
Oh, really? Then you owe me a pair of glasses.
-I'm sure we can work something out.
-Wait a minute, sir.
I came in here to tell them there's a Mirafiori getting towed.
-What's the license plate? -What do I know? It's a wreck.
And it's red.
-Fuck! -Wait a minute, man.
I'm going to introduce you to a buyer you just will not believe! He wants 100 kilos in one go.
-I have to get my car back! -Forget the car, man! With the money we make tonight, you can buy five more sports cars.
That money isn't for me.
So what do I do about the deal? You close it, I trust you.
Son of a bitch.
What's going on? Take that guy to the station.
-And leave you alone? -That's OK.
Come on, hurry! When they bring out the weed, we'll arrest them, OK? -OK.
-Stay behind me and keep quiet.
-Yes, sir.
-Do you have your badge? Yes.
-Where the fuck are they? -Beats me.
Fucking hell! TORREMOLINOS' HEAVEN INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX -Do you think they're armed? -Of course.
All right, so we're tied.
-How long should we wait? -Just a little while, then we'll pretend to be offended that the drugs aren't here and leave.
-I don't have to pretend to be offended.
-Relax, man, our lives are on the line.
Listen, I trusted you, now you owe me one.
I don't care what that bastard did to your family, don't fuck up again.
Omega 1 to Omega 3, Inspector López, can you hear me? -What do you want? -We lost the bird.
I repeat, we lost the bird.
Shit! We don't have the drugs, over.
We're fucked! What should we do? Just prey they get here first.
You better step on it and get here before they do, Lucas.
OK, over and out.
Ready? As ready as I can be with no sleep.
What about you? As ready as I can be after all that champagne.
-Where's the merchandise? -It's on its way.
Why don't we go ahead and count the cash? Let's leave it in the car until the merchandise arrives.
Where's your partner? My partner had to leave, I told you.
Is he also your partner in this type of business? Especially in this type of business.
The bastard would do anything to realize his dream.
-What's his dream? -To undermine democracy and restore the dictatorship.
He's fucking crazy.
He'd do absolutely anything to resurrect Franco.
Remember the old general I told you about? I didn't finish the story.
So we get to the building, we open the door, and there's no trace of the machinery.
My partner had sold it to scam his own father! He is such a son of a bitch! You should've seen the look on the old sucker's face.
You know what we did with the money? We went to Morocco and bought the merchandise we're about to sell to you.
What do you think? But, you know what? That old man deserved it.
He's the typical guy who still places value on honor and traditional values.
That's why he trusts me.
Can you believe the sucker? What are you doing? Stop it! Stop it! -You're a fucking scammer! -Stop it, damn it! All right, that's enough.
-Don't move.
-OK.
Everyone, calm down.
Look.
It's OK, see? We're leaving.
-What the hell happened? -He doesn't trust you! -What's your problem? -Just forget the deal.
What do you mean? We have the merchandise here! What the fuck happened? I was telling you about some sucker and you took it personally! Son of a bitch! Do you know that old piece of shit? You're the piece of shit! He's my father! You bastard! He's my father! -Damn it! -José Manuel, get the money! You're as much of a cocksucker as your father.
The tires! Let's go, Kiko.
You motherfucking idiot! Christ! -I'm coming! -Get in, damn it! Dear Lord, Fredo! What did they do to you? Wait till I'm done with him! Thanks to your brother's stupidity, the Penas stole 200 kilos from us.
200 kilos? Fredo, is that true? -At least he's alive! -Alive! Alive! We'll never get these savages off our backs again! Now they're our partners.
Partners! We have to give them 50%.
Do you know why? This dumbass had an accounting ledger and they stole it! And my name is written all over it! Why would you keep a written record? What was I supposed to do? Memorize everything? -No! -I'll kill you! Get out of here! I don't want to see you again! He's not very bright, but he did it for our sake! For our sake? He told me he'd get 15 million for the 200 kilos.
You know what he wrote down? 20 million.
Your brother was swindling us out of five million pesetas.
Get out! Get out of my house! You ungrateful little bastard! Get out of my house! Get out or I'll kill you! You hear me? -What the hell happened? -The rich kid lost it, our money's gone.
Two million! Wait till the Commissioner finds out! The Commissioner? Wait till my girlfriend finds out! I fucked up.
I'll pay for it.
Yeah, right.
Why don't we search the area where you lost the car? That's like looking for a needle in a haystack! Torremolinos' Heaven is huge! -What did you say? -Torremolinos' Heaven.
-It's that industrial area downhill from-- -Get in the cars! -What's the matter? -I know where they're hiding the drugs.
Come on, hurry up! Put everything in the trunk, this place isn't safe! Son of a bitch! He was trying to get revenge! OK! This one's good! This one is too.
And this one.
Fuck him! There's at least two million in here.
-We're ready to go, boss.
-Let's go! Get me a painkiller! I have a champagne headache! Where are you off to in such a hurry? You, go on! Do you mind? This money is ours.
Hand it over, damn it! Get out! Where's that stuff you bought with my father's money? -I don't know what stuff you mean.
-That's what happens with age, you lose your mind.
Come on, let's see the trunk.
Come on, damn it! Let's go! Come on! Let's go, damn it! Come on, you're like a different man.
Open it.
You don't know who you're dealing with.
You know what? Pulling off a scam is great.
It makes you feel superior, you get a huge adrenaline rush.
-What's this? -You wanted results.
You have enough results here to build a wall.
-How much is there? -A lot.
Maybe now we can talk about the budget.
-I told you everything would be OK.
-Next time, if you don't mind, tell me the truth before we get our heads blown off.
Listen, Leo, you know I would risk my life for you.
I have no problem with that.
But you have to confide in me.
As far as equipment, we have I promise I will.
Well There he is.
Good luck, pal.
What's the matter? Why the hell am I being detained? You scammed your father and trafficked drugs, -what do you think? -You're imagining things.
Emilio Tortajada told me everything.
How you convinced Father to invest, how you sold all the machinery and bought the drugs in Morocco.
Did you go in the building? Get me out of here! Are you joking? You'll get at least ten years.
You don't understand, I invested everything in that shipment! -So what? -What do you mean so what? I told you I'd pay off Father's debt! How can I pay it off if you confiscate everything and throw me in jail? Leo you have two options.
Either you get me out of this, or your parents will get evicted.
Lucas! Put him in the holding cell.
Pulling off a scam is great.
But getting scammed sucks.
Especially when the scammers are your nearest and dearest.
This way.
-Upstairs? -Yeah.
We can talk quietly upstairs.
But the Grim Reaper puts each of us in his place.
He has a really nasty corner reserved for con artists.
And after all the scams I've pulled off, I'm going straight to hell.
Or maybe not.
