"Everything okay, guys?" "You can't complain." "Delivered right on time." "Hello." " How was the van?" " Great." "We were going 80 mph and it didn't move." "And that baby must weigh at least half a ton." " Do you have a handcart?" " And the shaft?" "Will you replace the empty one for one loaded?" " And nobody is going to notice?" " Let's hope not." "Villegas!" " Come in!" " Look." "Get over here." "Come with me." " Hello." "Have you eaten?" "Yes, thank you." "We stopped on the road." "With the van loaded?" "Easy." "We kept an eye on it from the window." " Everything perfect then?" " Perfect." "Not even our wives know." "We told them we were going fishing in Chascomús." "So nobody in the city or at the factory knows anything." "That's right." "We had the time to do everything perfect." "Gauto was transfered from Villa María." "He kept a copy of the set of keys." "And in the city offices we changed the papers and altered the files." "Clean and quiet." "Good." " You will get paid next week." "Okay?" " Perfect." "And you?" "Are you sure you didn't tell anybody?" "I mean, you're so quiet." "No." "And you didn't talk about the money you will get either?" "You didn't talk to a friend, somebody at work, a girlfriend?" " Nobody." " Great then." " May I?" " Yes, go ahead." "Calm down." "Calm down." " Does anybody else know about this?" " Nobody, Levonian." "I swear." "Tell me." "Listen to me." "Why don't you tell me that somebody else knows?" " Because I didn't talk to anybody." " I know you didn't talk to anybody." "I'm asking you why you are not lying to me?" "See your partner?" "He told me he didn't talk to anybody." "And we killed him." "I didn't talk to anybody." "I swear on my children." "You're not listening to me." "If you tell me you didn't talk to anybody we kill you." "That's it." "No loose ends." "But if you tell me that you did talk to somebody, we can't kill you." "Do you understand?" "Yes." "I did talk to somebody." "Yes, but now I don't believe you." "Use chlorine." "The bastard keeps eating." "Watch it!" "RICARDO ALONSO POLICE CHIEF" "Yes." " Good morning, chief." " For now." " What a game last night!" " Don't lick my boots." "Any news?" "Not much." "Three stolen cars:" "Two on Peru Street and one on Giuffra Alley." "Don't even tell me that." "They broke into a woman's apartment, took everything and drove her to an ATM." " Was she hurt?" " Not much." "She was beaten in the head." " Give it to Gómez." " Fine." "At the disco, Piedras and San Juan, two bouncers kicked the hell out of a kid." "He was taken to the hospital, internal bleeding." "He died last night." "Oh, God." "The press will be all over us." "What a nightmare!" "The owner cooperates with us every month." "He's already called to see you." "Have Mancuso follow the case but tell him to see me first." "Fine." "Lastly, the wife of a military employee reported him missing." "Her husband went fishing in Chascomús with a co-worker and hasn't returned." " That was on Saturday." " That belongs to Chascomús." "No, because nobody saw them there, sir." "The judge told her to go to her nearest precinct." "Have Pontremoli look into it." "There he is." "Pontremoli!" " Sir." " Farina has a missing person's report." "Two military employees disappeared over the week-end." "Excuse me, chief." "Nothing for Díaz?" "Why?" " Don't you know?" " Don't I know what?" "Díaz is really down." "He didn't come to work Thursday and Friday." "He found his wife with another guy." "She's been cheating on him for 6 months." "So we thought you could assign him a case to keep him busy." "Yes, of course." "But, is he okay to work?" "He's taking sleeping pills." "But we can do what we did when Gómez lost his son." "Have a shrink accompany him." "I'll talk to the judge to see if he has somebody available." "It's okay with me." "Didn't the judge say lectures in schools or work with people with special needs?" "The police are dangerous." "They kidnap people." "Yes, of course." "You are the greatest." "I was saying that "probation" means the trial is suspended." "And instead of serving time I can do community service in any public agency..." "Anything related to my activity." "The civil case continues but the criminal case is closed." "But why with the police?" "What do they want you to do?" "I don't know." "They want me to see a detective." "I'll find out now." " You mom called yesterday." " What does she want?" "She wants to know if we are going today for Passover." "Is it Passover already?" "Time really flies!" "Do you want me to order something from "Ciervo de Oro"?" "We'll stay home." " Okay." "Let's do that." " Tell me if you don't want to." " I do, honey." " No, you don't." " Hear yourself." " I'm telling you to do it, honey." " But you don't meant it." " Honey, I very much want you... to order the food and that we enjoy each other." "Don't get upset." "Everything will be fine." "Doctor, apparently you were charged with running over a woman." "She threw herself under the car but her family convinced her to sue me." "She was not injured but they took my car, my driving license." "Outrageous!" "In any case, the judge tells me we can use your services." "Yes, that is correct." "But what do you need exactly?" "One of my agents is going through a very difficult moment." "He found out that his wife was leading a double life." " She was with somebody else." " No she dressed up in disguise and went out at night to fight crime." "I'm sorry." "Yes, she was seeing somebody else, a guy from work." "Oh, Lord!" "Sorry, but I thought it was funny." "The thing is that he followed her and found them in bed." " It was something very..." " Yes, a traumatic situation." "Exactly." "So the idea is that you start treating the detective... helping him to resume his tasks." "His father was a good friend of mine so this is almost personal to me." " Does he know I was coming?" " Yes." "I mentioned it." "There he is." "Díaz!" "You old sea dog!" " How are you doing, chief?" " Great, now that I see you." " Farina." " How are you doing, Díaz?" "I don't know." " This is doctor..." " Silverstein." "How do you do?" " How are you doing?" " Fine." " Okay, Silverman..." " Silverstein." "The Jewish shrink." "He will accompany you during work." "Farina will give you a report." "Wait a minute." "Am I going with him in the police car?" " Isn't that dangerous?" " Not really." "It's routine work." "Besides, Díaz is one of our best men." "You will run no risk." "I'd rather he'd come to my office as many time as he needs but for a regular therapy." "I don't want to press you but the judge said I could use your time ...and I do need him on the street." " Perhaps this is crazy, chief." "Calm down, Díaz, we'll find a solution." "Hear me out." "Look at me." "There is no tragedy because there is a way out." "When we understand that, the present becomes less tragic." "Do you follow me?" "Okay." "I can see that the two of you hit it off." "This is completely unusual so let's figure out a work routine together." "Okay." " Where are we going?" " Sorry." "To a military building." "The missing people worked for the Purchasing Department." "Purchases for the military plants at Río Tercero, Azul, Villa María..." "Perfect." "So now we'll interrogate their co-workers." "I mean "you" will." " You can also ask questions." " Okay." "If I see that I can help out." " Tell me about your problem." " Yes, of course." "My wife, to whom I've been married for nearly 4 years... she's..." " She's going out with somebody else." " And what is the problem?" " Well..." " I mean, there is a problem..." "She lies, conceals information..." "But those are all her problems." " Have you ever cheated on her?" " Yes, a couple of times." " Did you tell her?" " No." " Why not?" " Because it's not that easy." "Of course." "But I want to know how do you feel about all this." "How do I feel?" " I feel anguish." " Did you at least insult her enough?" " No." " You didn't?" "How about that!" " And why not?" " Because it's useless." "Is it useless or you have a certain fear?" "Fear of what?" "The worst has already happened." "But when the worst happens we don't need sleeping pills." "It's done." "The worst has happened and there is nothing else to be done." "Her cheating upsets you." "I can see that." "But you are in panic." "And you know what panic is?" "Panic is the feeling that what you fear most will finally happen." " And what do I fear most?" " We'll find that out together." "Could they have gone with other women?" "Lovers, friends?" "Villegas is very calm." "I don't know Gauto that much." "He was just tranferred from Villa María." "Do you talk to the plant often?" " Yes, work stuff." " Of course." "Look, anything you hear can be useful:" "Deals, missing arms, explosives..." " Do you have a piece of paper?" " Yes, of course." "Thank you." " Cross my number out." " What?" "Nothing." "That's my number." "Excuse me, officers, the general we'll see you now." " Thank you..." " Sambi." "Did they have an official vehicle?" "Gauto told his wife they were taking Villegas' car and Villegas told his wife that they were taking Gauto's." "But both vehicles are parked in the garage." "No, they did not have an official vehicle." "What does Military Productions manufacture besides arms?" "We supply almost all government agencies." "We manufacture everything from valves to compressors, demolition Šmaterials for coal mines, even flares for national parks." "Including supplies for nuclear power plants... nitric and sulphuric acids, ammonia..." " What's the matter?" "Are you okay?" " Excuse me." " Any connection with arms trafficking?" " Excuse me?" "I read that many Argentine military are connected to arms trafficking." " Not all of them, of course." " Of course." "On the other hand, it's only the opinion of a journalist." " No connection that I know of." " No connection." "Any strange call?" "Any strange behavior?" " No, no strange calls." " No strange calls." "On top of everything that Nazi looked at me funny." "You put me in a very uncomfortable position." "Sorry about that but you were right." "I had not insulted her enough." "I feel much better now." "And why do you think you didn't insult her enough?" "Why did we say that the worst had not happened yet?" "Because she cheated on me but did not leave me." "And if I insult her she might leave me." "And your panic would be directly related to the fear of abandonment..." "We never see reality as it is." "We see it through a lens." "For some reason, through your lens, female abandonment equals death." " It could be." " And why could that be?" "What childhood experience do you relate this to?" "With the fact that my mom left my dad when he lost his job?" "That's it." "That's a key element." "We've gone forward 10 spaces." " What did your old man do?" " He was a cop." "Why was he kicked off the force?" "I was a kid but he was accused of reselling a shipment of home appliances which they had confiscated." " Your father was accused of corruption." " Yes, he was framed." "The entire precinct was involved and they needed a scapegoat and my father was there." " How old were you?" " About 12 or 13." "That's quite an issue." "That's the time of puberty, pubic hair starts growing your hormones are bursting out... and right when you start becoming a man... your father falls down as a man." "And under whose disqualifying eyes?" " My mom's?" " Awoman's eyes." "You're not just suffering from your current problem." "You're also suffering from unresolved issues from your childhood." "And the panic appears when the ghosts your lens recreates are experienced as if they were real." ""No other woman will love me"." "That's in your lens." "But today it is real." ""I'm not worth as a man"." "And you can add the typical ghosts." ""She left me because the other guy is better than me in bed"." ""She left me because it takes him longer to come"." ""She left me because his is bigger than mine"." "Come back here!" " You bumped into somebody." " It sounded bad but it's nothing." "You son of a bitch!" "You crashed into somebody's car hard." "Take it easy." "Everything is fine." "Nothing happened." "If you say so." "You're the authority." " Thank you very much." " No, thank you." "I think I'll sleep better tonight." "Here is my card just the same." "That's my office number..." "My office is right here." "I'll be up until late." " I'll try not to bother you." " No problem." "I have a couple of patients tomorrow morning... but you can come around noon for a more traditional session." " Okay." " Is that your old man?" "He used to make me so embarrassed!" "After he lost his job he was always untidy." "He didn't take care of himself and drank a lot." "Once I took my girlfriend home and he ate with no manners." "He drove me crazy." "You drove me crazy." "I did talk to him." "I tried to make him change." "Now I feel I could have enjoyed him better." "Let's leave it here and we'll go over this in detail tomorrow." " That's a key issue." " Okay." "Thanks." " Where do you live?" " I'm staying at a hotel in San Telmo." "I don't want to go home for now." " Especially after what I did today." " Of course." "Do you have plans for dinner?" " Hello." "Hello." " Hello." "Diana, my wife." "This is detective Díaz." " What's your first name?" " Cameron." " You're kidding me." " Yes." " It's a bad joke of mine." "It's Alfredo." " How are you doing?" " This is nice." " Make yourself at home." "Thanks." "That's my office, the studio." "Large spaces... with few walls..." "Sorry I invited him, honey." "Tomorrow we'll do something alone." "Are you kidding me?" "We had planned..." "Why do you do this?" "Please, Diana." "And try not to be too warm with me." "He's having marital problems and he is very sensitive." "I love you." " Is jazz okay for you?" " Jazz is perfect." " And this?" " Córdoba." "I took it during our last trip together three years ago." "It looks dangerous but he is three feet from the ground." "He pretends to be brave but he is my cotton bunny." "Shall we eat?" " Like this, right?" " Careful, that's very bitter." " Very bitter." " It's called chrain." " We eat it to remember we were slaves." " During the Second World War?" "That too but I was talking about Egypt 5700 years ago." " Don't bore him with history." " Bore him?" "History is fascinating." " Soup?" " Yes." "Interesting mix." "Now you have a Jewish friend and I'm friends with a cop." " There is a lot of prejudice about cops." " I wouldn't call it prejudice." " There a lot of corruption." " Is it necessary, Diana?" "It must be hard to be part of an institution people question so much." "There's all kind of things." "But when salaries are so low..." "Teachers and doctors are also underpaid but they are not corrupt." "But they have no guns." "If I were in charge I'd raise the salaries." "You don't want somebody unsatisfied carrying a gun, do you?" "That's true." " These balls are good." " Thanks." "I ordered them." "What did you do today?" "Nothing." "I went to the dentist in the afternoon." " Everything fine?" " Sort of." "I need a root canal." "What else?" "I read the classifieds." "The company she worked for closed." "She is an accountant." " Anything wrong, Díaz?" " No." "Tati called." "She can't come cleaning on Thursday." "Are you sure you're okay?" "You look upset." "I'm fine but I think your wife is cheating on you." " What?" " She's cheating on you, man." "What do you mean?" "What are you saying?" " Are you cheating on him, yes or no?" " What?" "Easy, Díaz." "You're projecting." " What is this guy doing?" " Are you cheating on him, yes or no?" "Easy." "Did you go crazy?" "Answer my question." "Put it down now." "Calm down, Díaz." "You're not talking to her." "You're talking to your wife." " Are you cheating on him, yes or no?" " Put the gun down, Díaz." " Tell me, yes or no." " Yes." "Put it d..." "What?" "What?" " Are you cheating on me?" " Yes." " You're cheating on me." " It's true." "It's true." "But I love you." "You're an asshole, Diana." " I felt so lonely, not cared for." " Speak clearly, you, idiot." "I thought you were seeing somebody else." "You paid no attention to me." "And then we read Madame Bovary in my literary workshop..." "And the teacher said she was a brave woman." "Madame Bovary was a brave woman because she lived in another century when women were repressed and didn't cheat on their husbands." "Nowadays, all women do it so you're just another idiot." "Please." "Lord!" "You're out of your mind." "How can you do something like that?" " My God." " Who is the guy?" "He taught the literary workshop she took." "How did you know?" "It took her too long to answer a simple question." "And she didn't have her wedding ring on." "Women usually take it off for that." "We're not married, Díaz." "I don't have a ring either." " How long has she been seeing him?" " I don't know." "A couple of months." "Four months." "Get me out of here, please." "Unbelievable!" "How can this be!" "What a bitch!" "What a fucking bitch!" "And I'm such an idiot." " Why?" " I really neglected our relationship." "I was very much into work." "I went to about 20 congresses alone." " Of course, she is right." " She is right?" " She cheated on you." " So?" "I've also had my stories." "It isn't terrible, it doesn't mean anything." " Why would I become chauvinist now?" " But she'd think it's terrible." "That's the point." "If I take some distance then there is no tragedy." " Still she acted wrongly." " Wrongly?" "She was screwing another guy." " She's 38." "A handshake doesn't do it." " She lied to you." " She couldn't tell me the truth." " For months." " Two months." "Sounds like a long time but it's not much in terms of cheating time." "She saw him once." "Two weeks went by and then again." "That's about a month." "Multiplied by two, it's two months." "That's your head not your heart talking." "But what matters is what we think." "I don't even know what I feel." "There you go." "Cry like a man." " Do you copy?" " I copy you, central." "A van turned up in the river with 2 bodies." "It could be your guys." "I'm on my way." "Please, step aside." "Clear the area." " Good evening, sir." " Get me another one of these." "Here, put this on." " Here you are." " Thanks." " Coffee, chief." " Thanks." " Come with me." " Shit, it's pouring." " Chief." "Farina." " Díaz." "It's your guys." "Tell their wives that they've come back from fishing." " Doc." " How are you doing, chief?" "They knew what they were doing." "They dumped them in the deepest end." "They would've never come up if it hadn't been for the storm." " Everything okay?" " I'm not sure at all." "I don't know." "I'm really not sure." " Any ideas?" " Arms trafficking perhaps." "Or they were intercepted with a shipment on their way to the triple border." "How is it going with the doc, Díaz?" "Fine." "He is really helping me." "He is helping me a lot." "I'm sorry." " Are you up to continuing with the case?" " Absolutely." "What other information do we have on the vehicle?" "The plate is missing but we have the engine number." "We're running it." "It's probably stolen." "That lock is not the original one." "Talk to the Coroner." "I want the report for tomorrow morning." "Any lead is very important to me." "Thanks, Farina." "Now I'll get you a nice room." "You'll take a hot bath and go to bed." " Thanks so much for everything." " Please..." "Take one of these." "At least you'll sleep for a couple of hours." " Thanks." " Try to relax." "The coroner's report will be ready in half an hour." "Do you want to come?" "Is it a good plan?" "Gunshot entrance wound in this region and the exit wound here in the neck." "The bullet also grazed the interior right leg." "This determines that the deceased was sitting at the time of death." "There are traces of a non-ferric material in the victim's palms steel, lead or aluminum." "Findings are consistant with handling of heavy objects for a long period." "Villegas was shot against a wall or against the floor." "The bullet enters through the right jaw... and ends on the second back tooth." "Some resistance blocked the bullet's exit." "The outer casing was damaged." "BallisticsŠwill have the report ready by 10 AM." "You are new, right?" "No, he's a friend." "He's depressed so I took him out for a walk." "Hi." "For what it's worth." "You have less problems than they do." "Next." "Good morning." "I'm here for the report on Gauto and Villegas." "They brought it half an hour ago." "This is no photo outlet." "Wait over there, please." "SILENCE PLEASE RESPECT SHOOTERS" "I should see a couple of patients today." "But I don't feel like seeing anybody." "But I should call them, right?" "To at least let them know." "No, I won't call them." "Screw them." "They are always upset." "Today I'm upset." " Do you want to give it a try?" " Me?" "You're crazy." "Put that on." "I feel like I'm in Lethal Weapon, Díaz." " Oh, God." " Thunder, .9 mm." "15 rounds." "Semiautomatic." "Precision: 35 meters." "You put the clip in, you feed ammo into the chamber..." "Arms relaxed, I face the target and lean forward a bit." " I aim at the enemy." " I have no enemies, Díaz." "I shoot." " Your turn." " Yes." "The other button." "There." "That's okay." "Let's see." "I put the clip in." " I feed..." " You feed ammo..." "Arms relaxed." " Shall I?" " Go ahead." " Not bad." " Three shots in." "Near the silhouette." "Not bad for a beginner." "Your pulse pulls to the left." "Can you see that?" " Yes, I see it." " We'll work on that." " Yours pulls upwards, right?" " What does?" "Your pulse." "Where did the shots that did not hit the target go?" "They were all in but they hit on the same spot." " Weren't you here for a report?" " Sorry." "Let's go." "Come on." " So?" " .38, of course." " Why of course?" " Because it's a revolver." "With a pistol, the casings jump out and they can be left behind as evidence." "With a revolver casings stay in and you take the evidence with you." " It's much easier to trace." " But that's a good tip." "Sort of." "There must be 750.000 people with.38s." "Brazilian made revolvers cost about $150 at a gun shop." " Do you copy me, Díaz?" " I copy you." "You were right." "The van was stolen from Constitution two weeks ago." " From what side of Garay Avenue?" " 1900 Santiago del Estero St." "Near the train station." "Was it stolen at gunpoint or was it picked up from the street?" "It was parked." " Day or night?" " 3 PM." " Thanks, Farina." " You're welcome." "HERE WE LEARN TO DEFEND OUR COUNTRY" " Where are you going?" " To Constitución area to visit a friend." " You're doing better, right?" " I guess." "We'll see how things go." "Exactly, man." "We'll see how things go." " Do you smoke?" " No, thank you." "I don't." " What are you doing?" " I'm smoking." " But that's pot." " So what?" " You're a cop." " So?" " Pot is illegal." " You've never smoked pot." "It doesn't matter." "I'm with a cop and we should set the example." "And you are, don't worry." "Besides, what do you know if I've ever smoked or not?" "Because if you had you wouldn't be so prejudiced about it." "Give me that." "I'm ruined any way." "This is crazy." "In broad daylight." "Hold the smoke." "You're incredible." "You cross with a red light, you smoke pot." "Unbelievable." " For how long?" " For as long as you can." "Look..." "I take two glasses of wine and I'm drunk." "Look at that sign:" "PILLS TO FIGHT HAIR LOSS" "Advertising can be so deceiving." "If your wife is deceitful, why do you expect advertising to be any different?" "You're right about that." "Hi." " I can't believe it." " What?" " What's the matter?" " No, nothing." "I can't believe it." " Come on, what?" " Nothing, Díaz, nothing." "Please." "I've just figured out the thing about the egg and the chicken." "How didn't I see it before?" " So which one was first?" " The egg." " And where does the egg come from?" " I don't know but it's an egg." "From anywhere, from under a rock, the sea, from another egg..." "You can have an egg appearing just like that but not a fully grown chicken." "Who can even think about something like that happening?" "Do you get it?" " It's possible." " Possible?" "It's obvious, Díaz." " Think about it." "Don't you get it?" " No, I don't." "So what?" "You've been nagging me for two hours. "Don't you get it"?" " I was not born in a golden cradle." " I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to offend you." " Don't be mean to me." " I'm not mean." "Come on." "Cheer up, man." " Why are you singing "Happy Birthday"?" " You act like a sad kid, I cheer you up." "Besides, it's Plin-Plin Clown's song." " No, this is not possible." " What?" "It's terrible." "Let's see." "Sing Happy Birthday, Díaz." " Happy birth..." " Plin-Plin Clown dear..." "...and he..." "What a scam!" "It's exactly the same melody." "I didn't even get a buzz." " I'm hungry, Díaz." " We'll have lunch after this visit." " Who is your friend?" " Acar thief." "How can you know that somebody is a car thief and not arrest him?" "If he were in jail, he wouldn't give us the tip he's about to give us." "Besides, he's my friend." " What is this?" " Trust me." "Keep working on that." "Come on." "You have to hit it properly." "Like this." "Look." "Go on, Sepúlveda." " Yes?" " I'm here to see Cardinalli." "Cardinalli is not in." " Freeze!" " It's okay." "He's a friend of mine." "He's my friend." "Sit down." "Come here." "I can't believe it." "This idiot moved my balls." "Sorry, pal." "They were right here." " Anything to drink?" " Sparkling water, please." " One sparkling water." " I'll have an a Fanta orange soda." " Who's the dude?" " My shrink." "Your what?" "What are you up to?" "I'll take one, okay." "A Kangoo van was lifeted from 1900 Santiago del Estero St. Two weeks ago." "I've been dealing only with imported wheels for two years." " Do you want to visit the slammer?" " Again?" "I only do imported wheels." "The national ones only go for $ 1000 in the market." "They make 1000% over that." "That's the gig." "And I run the risk." "And I have to pay off the cops." "No, they are crooks." "Who could have done it?" "It was broad daylight." "The Chileans." "The fucking Chileans." "We chase them away but they come back." "They are worst than lice." "Puma!" "Find out who did a Kangoo from 1900 Santiago del Estero Street!" " Who do I ask?" " What do I know, Puma!" "You've been in business since you were 15 and you don't know who to ask?" " Put your fingers up up your ass." " Sorry, I didn't mean it." " You didn't." "Order your own, dude." " Okay, don't get upset." " You're right." "I'm with Díaz." " What do I fucking care who you're with?" "Ok, but we're all friends." "Keep it cool, man." "It's Puma." "Cardinalli wants to know who lifted a gray Kangoo van... from 1900 Santiago del Estero Street." "Hold it." "When was that?" " How do you know it was gray?" " Because he said so." " Wasn't it gray?" " It was but I didn't say it." "No, he didn't." "I don't know how but I know." "Can't I not know how I know something?" " Are you doing a job on me?" " No, of course not." "I've been feeding you for 3 years and you're working on the side?" "You feed me?" "You get $1000 and give me $ 50." "You're such a cheap shit!" " I run with the risk." " Are you calling me a cheap shit?" "Who are you calling cheap shit!" "Let go!" "I didn't mean to lie to him but this is a contact from before." "It was a fast gig." "Just a van." "They paid cash." " Where do I locate him?" " Look, his name is Oscar..." "We only speak over the phone." "He always calls me." "I have no idea what he does." "I ask no questions, just in case." "Where did you deliver the vehicle to?" "I changed the lock and he asked me to leave it in a garage, 900 Alem Ave." " In front of a military building." " I don't know. 900 Alem Av." " And he didn't pay you?" " He did, when he ordered the job." " I didn't go to see him after that." " Where to?" "Nowhere." "I said that I didn't see him." "No, you said that you didn't go to see him after that." "That means you saw him." " I want to know where." " I don't follow you." "I don't know you but you seem rather limited." "Show me some respect." "Tell me where you went to see the man who ordered the job." "He hangs around a coffee shop." " So you saw him several times." " What do you mean serveral times?" "Stop it!" "It's only 4 P.M." "He asked me to go see him at a coffee store several times." "He must like it." " Where?" " At the corner of Belgrano and Balcarce." "That was easy." "Listen." "I don't think he comes here every day." "I'd rather we went go to the precinct." "Let's do an identikit." " I don't know who he is." " Walk, Puma." "Come on." ""Walk, Puma"." "In some countries they put you in a witness protection program..." " they give you a home, clothes..." " In a while I'll take a cab home." "No, he's not here." " Can we talk to you?" " Yes, of course." "What's the problem?" " May I..." " Go ahead." "I'm a police officer and we're after the lead of a stolen van." "The vehicle turned up in the river with two bodies in the trunk." "And the trail I'm talking about led us to you." " That's so strange." "Why?" " That's what I'd like to know." " I have no idea." " We'll find out together." " What do you do?" " Right now I'm reading the paper." " And in general?" " I'm unemployed." " Your name?" " Carlos." " Can I see your ID, please." " I don't have any." " No ID whatsoever?" " No." "Nothing." " You'll have to come with me then." " Are we under state of siege?" "No, but I consider that you don't want to cooperate with me." "No, I do." "I am cooperating." "In any case, shouldn't you identify yourselves?" " And you are?" " We ask the questions." "What's your relationship with the guy over there?" " None." " That's strange!" "He's a car thief and he has just pointed you as the person who bought the van." "What is this?" "What are we doing?" "What's Camarasa?" "Lisandro Prada." "Weren't you unemployed?" "I asked you a question, Oscar, Carlos, or Lisandro." "Do you have anything to say?" "I asked you a question." "Go back to work and let me have my coffee in peace." " Excuse me?" " I'm not repeating it, Alfredo Díaz." "Stop asking questions or your wife and children will show up in the river." "I have no children and as for my wife, take down the address." "You're a cop." "What are you up to?" "Arms, drugs?" "What's Camarasa?" " Easy, Fatso." "Get lost." " What?" "Get lost." "I'm doing you a favor." " Who are you?" " You're about to chew a bullet, asshole." "Believe me, I won't have to give any explanation about it." " Let's calm down, please." " Who are you?" " Bag it or we'll bag you." " Let's go, please." "You're under arrest for threatening a police officer..." "Get up slowly and come with me." "Easy." "Let's see what we have." "A.38 special." "Guess what did they killed those guys in the van with?" "Knock it off." "Officerl!" "Hand-cuff that man!" "Officer!" "I'm Díaz from precinct 59." "Do as I say!" "I'm with the Intelligence Services, SIDE." "Send a back-up unit!" "Listen to me." "Get over here!" "They are coming with me for questioning." "This person never said that he worked for the intelligence services." "He even refused to identify himself." "He behaved like a mafiosi." "Knowing Díaz was a cop he threatened him." ""No more questions or your wife will end up in the river"." "Things like that." "Arias' people are working undercover on a case I can't discuss with you." "But the case is related to the death of these two persons." "And Díaz is part of the band we're investigating." "The Federal Police is completely corrupt." "The government is pressing to... to straighten things out before the elections." "He's not the only one with dirty hands at 59th Precinct." "I'm not talking about minor corruption cases." "There's armoured cars, security payments, extortion... bribery, prostitution..." "illegal car stripping..." "In fact, Díaz' informant is part of a powerful gang." "But don't worry." "We'll question him and then we'll let him go." "It's much better to see where he leads us than having him locked up." "Please pass over to us all the cases Díaz was working on." "Coroner's reports, Ballistics..." "Yes, of course." "You'll have them on your desk tomorrow morning." " Could it be tonight?" " Sure, no problem." "And as regards the doctor, we'll waive his probation time." " I can talk to the judge." " No, I'll take care of it." "Okay." "Tomorrow we'll ask you to come to give your statement about what you saw and heard during these days." " Is that okay?" " Fine." "Yes, it's Levonian." "Can you walk out these two people in here?" "Thank you." "Sirs." "It's been a pleasure, chief." "No, please." " At your orders, doctor." " Thanks." "The chief won't be a problem." "Keep an eye on the shrink." "Tap his phones." "See what he does." "He doesn't have a clue." "I don't think he'll be a problem." "But if he does anything suspicious, make sure he has an accident." "Okay." "I need the last three-month period reports, Jose." "Don't worry." "I have people working on it." "RESTRICTED AREA" "...enriched uranium is stored in pools under strict security measures." "The facilities are guarded by Gendarme officers." "Our operation is supervised by the Intl." "Commission of Atomic Energy." " This is a real killer." " Follow me to the reactor, please." "I remind you that taking pictures is strictly forbidden inside the plant." "We shouldn't laugh so much." "Come with me." "Good afternoon, Díaz." "I'm Jose Levonian." "You are in the Restricted Area of the Special Affairs Unit under my orders." "Therefore, we'll enjoy having a certain privacy." "I don't want to waste your time and I don't want to waste mine." "I'm a very busy man." "I have many things to do." "We've been working on an operation to be carried out tonight." "I want to know if the you have done or said something that could ruin it." "I know nothing about no operation." "I have no idea." "I only stole a van." "Let me go." "I swear I'll say nothing." "Shut this clown up." "No, leave him alone." "Let go of him." "Now, should I be concerned or not?" " You scared me, Diana." " Where were you?" " I left you eighty messages." " Oh, yes." "I was mad." "Camarasa..." "What is this?" "Camasara Transportation Inc." "What the heck is Camarasa?" "Were you with somebody else?" " Were you with another woman?" " No, I wasn't with anybody else." "The company picks up and transports HazMats." "Then why do you have a hickey on your neck?" "It's not a hickey, it's a bruise." "A police officer shook me down." "They provide transportation services of highly dangerous toxic subtances." " Where did you spend the night?" " At a hotel." "What the heck is this?" " Do you still love me?" " Yes, Diana, of course I love you." "Camarasa won the bid to collect HazMats from the Campana Atomic ŠCenter." " Yes, but you're still mad." " Yes, I'm still a bit mad." "Look at me when I'm talking to you!" " Do not ignore me!" " Calm down." "I'm not ignoring you." "Yes, you are." "You've always ignored me!" "Look at me." " What are you thinking?" " I don't want to think anymore." " Okay." "What do you feel then?" " Nothing serious." "Perhaps we're not meant for each other." "About being each other's other half..." "We're so different." "Perhaps you're half a pineapple and I'm half a kiwi." "Who knows?" "It must be that Sambi guy." "He's been calling all day." " Who?" " Sambi!" " Hello." " It's Sambi." " Who?" " From Purchasing." " You gave me your card." " Oh, yes." "I can't reach your partner." "I talked to a friend in Villa María." "Somebody took an R-22 tank." "They are made to order for the Campana Atomic Center." " An R-22 tank?" " They are made of lead." " They are used to transport uranium." " Uranium?" "Do you know how much terrorists would pay for it on the black market?" "With 500 grams you can make an atomic bomb." " An atomic bomb?" " Don't mention my name." "I hope you find the motherfuckers who killed our pals." "Hello." "Hello." " Who is that guy, Diana?" " What guy?" " That one" " I don't know." "Stay here." " Yes?" " How are you doing, doctor?" " I'm agent Lomianto with the SIDE?" " How do you do?" " Could I talk to you?" " Yes, tell me." " Can I come in?" " Not right now." "I was about to eat." "I thought I would give my statement at SIDE offices." " Anything wrong?" " I've just been assigned to the case." "First impressions are very important." "It won't take long." "Yes but no." "You can call me tomorrow and we'll work it out." " Would that be okay?" " Yes, yes." "Perfect." "Good evening then." "Damn it!" "Diana, calm down." "Calm down and get me something to tie him up." " Who are you?" " Aim at him, please." " What do you mean who am I?" " Tell me the truth." "Since when have you been lying to me?" " What?" " Since when are you a spy?" "Was it all a cover?" "Tell me the truth, please!" "I do tell you the truth." "You're the liar, Diana." "Is this why you paid no attention to me?" "Nothing was real then?" " Tell me who am I living with, please." " Everything is for real." "Stop crying, please." "And hand me the gun." "Do you copy, Lomianto?" "SIDE, INTELLIGENCE SERVICES" " Do you copy." "If I don't answer they'll call in somebody else." "Repeat what I say, word for word or they will take you out of here in a body bag." "Please calm down, Diana!" " Yes, I copy." " Yes, I copy." "Any problem?" " Negative." " Negative." "What's the doc doing?" " He's having dinner with his wife." " He's having dinner with his wife." " Any news there?" " Who is this?" " Get me out of this." " It's me, Lomianto." "The crook is history." " And the cop?" " And the cop?" "He won't make it through the night." " Roger." " Roger." "Negative." "Roger." "We're not at war." "Keep me posted." "Come on." "Jump down, please Jump." "Good." "Diana, open the trunk." "Open the trunk." "Everything is okay." "Relax." "Do as I say." "Good evening." "He's getting married." " Everything is okay." " I don't know how to do it." "Step to my left." "Get in the trunk." "Please." "Come on." "Get in the trunk." "Do as I tell you." "Calm down, Diana." "Relax." "Listen to me." "Call a car service and go to your parent's." "Do not use any phone and don't try to reach me." " Is it clear?" " Yes." "I've got to go." "I've got to go, honey." " Hon, you're under stress." " Yes." " Do you know what to do?" " Go to my parent's." "Good." "Good." "I've got to go, honey." "I've got to go." "I want no reaction." "Is it clear?" "Díaz is under interrogation." "Nobody interferes and nobody asks questions." "Intelligence is handling the case." "They have us by the balls." "If we don't do as they say there'll be some heads rolling." " What are you doing here?" " I tried to stop him, chief." "Leave and close the door behind you." "Hear me out." "They'll kill Díaz." "We must get over there right now..." "Díaz is in good hands." "I suggest you calm down." "He is in my trunk." "He broke into my house and tried to kill me." "Puma was killed." "Now they want to do Díaz." "I heard it over the two-way radio." "Intelligence services are handling the case." "And your relationship with the precinct is over." "What do you mean?" "This is a group of crooks in a clandestine operation." "They'll steal uranium from the nuclear facility at Campana." "Villegas and Gauto delivered the R22 to transport the uranium..." "It is manufactured by the military..." "They were killed because they knew what would happen." "You keep talking and I'll have you arrested." "Are you nuts?" "Are you listening to me?" "I'm saying they will kill Díaz." "Arrest this man, Gómez." "Didn't you say it was personal and that Díaz' father was a friend of yours?" "I'm saying that a friend of yours will be killed and you do nothing?" "I said:" "Arrest this man." "I'll fire whomever interferes." "Is that clear?" "I've been in this for years and I've never had any problem." "I have an operation tonight." "Could I run into a problem?" "Don't be stubborn, Díaz." "Quit suffering." "Answer me and I'll shoot you." "Are you waiting for prince charming?" " Good evening." " Good evening." "Lord!" "Error, error, error." " Good evening." " How are you doing?" "I'm López, 27th Precinct." "Somebody foundŠthis ID and brought it to the precinct." "I suppose this person works here." "I don't know." "Many people work here." "Give it to me." "I'll hand it in." "Unfortunately, I can't do that." "I have to deliver it personally." "I even need somebody to sign for it." "Who knows what happened to him." "You should find out, right?" " Wait a second." " No problem." "It's been 40 years." "I've had my happy moments." " Come in." " Thank you." " Good evening." " Let me see." "Yes, he works here." "We'll hand it over tomorrow." " Where do I sign?" " What?" "The guard told me you need me to sign." "Yes, please." " Do you have a receipt?" " Just write it down on a piece of paper." "Write "I received the ID card of agent so and so from officer López..."" "Lord." "My god." " How's the game going?" " It's a rerun from last year." "I think I saw this soccer match." " Argentina is playing who?" " That's Racing Club playing." " Yes but they are playing who?" " "The Bugs"." " Great game." " What else can I do for you, officer?" " Could I use the bathroom?" " No." "No?" "That's so mean." "I come here to do you guys a favor..." "I need to use the bathroom and you give me that ironic smile of yours." " I can't let you in." " You can't let me in?" " I'm with the Federal Police." " This is SIDE." "You have no access." " I'm talking as a human being." " I have to ask you to leave, officer." " You won't let me in." " No, I won't." " You won't." " Let him use the bathroom." "I can't, Juan." "He's not authorized personnel..." "Authorized personnel my ass." "Let him use the bathroom." " Under your responsibility." " Yes, it's my responsibility." "This way." "Leave your weapon." " Your weapon, the pistol." " Yes." " There, on the counter." " Yes." "You work nights risking your life for the minimum wage... and this rookie treats you like that." "Whatever happens this was a very nice gesture." "Nothing will happen, champ." "Believe me, the last thing I want is to cause you trouble." " Relax." "You'll cause me no trouble." " Okay, okay." "The bathroom is nice but there's no toilet paper." "Could I have some?" "I'll bring you some." " Good evening." " Good evening." " Haven't you noticed anything strange?" " No." "What happened?" " That's what I'm asking you." " I don't know." " You don't know" " I don't." "What happened?" " Is the prisoner still inside." " Inside where?" " Where can he be?" "Where?" " I don't know." "In the restricted area?" " Of course." " I didn't know there were prisioners." " I have no access there." " How could you?" "In a serious country you shouldn't even know where it is." " But there's a sign outside." " On the third floor?" "No, I'm talking about the eighth floor." "We're talking about different things." "Go on with your duties, please." "He doesn't know anything." "Let's go on." "I'll take care of this." " Do you copy, Radames?" " I do." "See me at the meeting point." " Good evening." " Good evening." "RESTRICTED AREA" ""It's better to ask for probation so you don't have a criminal case..."" "This is very obscure." "Of course it won't open!" "Stop!" "Animals." " Seal." " Seal." "Five points." "Now, colors." " Fucsia." " We have an intruder." " What do you mean?" " Are you blind?" "The cop in the bathroom." "Move, please." "God." "My god." "This is unbelievable." "Yes." "Morales, front desk, we have an intruder." "He's in a police uniform." " Is everything okay in your area?" " Everything fine." "Keep me informed." "I'm speechless." "In 35 years I've never seen anything like this." " Let's give me the club, please." " Yes, of course." " May I step in?" " Please do." "I want no trouble." "I just want you to let Díaz go." " Lomianto, do you copy?" "Yes, I have him." "He's in a safe place." "Let Díaz go and I'll tell you where I have Lomianto." "Very good." "You want to negotiate." " Where is Lomianto?" " I'd rather you let Díaz go first..." "I don't trust you guys." "You shouldn't." " Good evening." " Good evening." "Sectors G2, G6, and G8." "Toxic waste." "External containers." "Very well." " He knows nothing." "He's harmless." " Harmless?" "!" "Hands behind your back!" "He violated our security and entered the Restricted Area through the window." "Listen." "It's important." "If you kill us, you have two problems." "One, I'm the only one who knows where your agent is." "Two, I know many people." "This won't be easy to cover up." "I've removed presidents." "You don't know how easy it'll be." "We need to get out of here." "Uranium is dangerous in the wrong Šhands." "There's nothing to do." "They are going to kill us." "We must think before saying something like that." "I've been thinking for five hours." "Where's the air conditioning vent?" " There's no vent." " Let's get rid of the handcuffs and let's try to fight them." " We can't get rid of them." " We can't get rid of them?" " That's what they're made for." " They'll kill us." " It's me." "I mess everything up." " Don't say that, Díaz." " I ruin everything." " Trust me." "I charge $120 the hour." "Get me out of here." "I'll put you in contact with a colleague." "You still have many things to go over." " What about you?" " I'm your friend." " Do me!" "Don't touch him!" " No, please!" " Yes?" " It's me, Morales." "I have the cake." " What?" " It's my birthday... a piece of cake." "Cake." "What piece of cake?" " Good evening." " Get in there." "Shall we go, guys!" " What a mess!" " Hold it, Díaz." "He let me in." "You could retire tomorrow." "Your kids will never need to work." "My son is 19." "He's never worked and causes me enough trouble." "They are coming for you." "It's your word against mine." "Even if you get out of here alive you'll never make it to Campana on time." "Díaz!" " No." " Let's go." "STAIRS" "Let's go." "Come on." " There." "Stay put." " Do you know how to fly this?" "I took a seminar at the academy:" ""Flying Helicopters 101"." "The tail is operated by the pedals." "The main blade, with this." "Look at this." "Do you know how much these are worth?" " How do we start the engine?" " It's a Volkov, so it should be here." "Remember turbines must never go over 600 degrees." "Was it 600 or 800?" " You didn't take the seminar?" " No, I took "Computers 101"" "It was on Logo. "CS, turtle home", "Right 90, turtle turn" and all that." "Will you know how to land?" "Wouldn't it be better to surrender?" "Relax." "You load, release the safety catch and shoot. 24 rounds per second." "The good thing is that if you miss you can correct your aim as you shoot." "I have another one." "How many more people at the plant?" " Be still." " Be still, he says." "I'm following orders." "If you move, I'll shoot." "I want you to know that I know dangerous people throughout the Šcountry." "Let me go or one day you'll be just run over by a car." " Or you'll fall under a train." " Why do you treat me like that?" "I pay my taxes." "My money pays for your salary and that's how you treat me?" "You always have such a sour look on your face." "Cool down, man." "You can't leave the tank in there." "It's dangerous." "You read about corruption in the papers every day..." "And you say:" "No, these guys can't be all that bad." "But they are!" "Why can't you just go to your office and do things right?" "No, you need to speculate, you need to threaten people..." "I won't repeat it again." "Let me go or you'll never sleep in peace." "You shut up or I'll shoot you and bury you in an open field." "I also have friends in the force." "And we can cover that easily." "Shoot!" "Shoot!" "NO FISHING" "Chief Alonso, Precinct 59." "Let's see, guys." "Thanks." "What's going on here?" "I have not received a full report about what happened yet..." "But I want you to know that my staff ignored direct orders of mine." "You have all my support to take whatever measures you want." "Come on." "Get in here." "These men prevented a dangerous international operation." "I've always encouraged my men to follow their instincts." "A policeman must do what he must." " Coffee, boss." " I'm good." "Thanks." " Are you Díaz?" " Yes." " Can I have a minute with you?" " Of course." " So?" "Everything okay?" " Everything fine." "Strange but fine." "Come over here." " Why strange, what happened?" " That guy was with SIDE for 10 years." "Now he's organizing an agency for international security." "He worked for the government or for the UN, I'm not too sure..." "He wanted a detailed report of what had happened..." "He couldn't believe it." "He wanted to know if... we would be interested in joining him in." " Joining him in?" " He's putting a team together." "Independent cells with 2 or 3 people from different backgrounds." "He mentioned a 6-8 month training." " But it would be as an agent?" " Yes." "Perhaps this is a step forward for you but I have a life... it's a bit disorganized but..." "this has nothing to do with me." "You might be right." "Perhaps this has nothing to do with you." " What training?" "Shooting?" " And languages, parachuting, diving..." "Besides, intelligence services go after awful things." "Don't be naive." "Yes, but they will continue to exist." "It'll be good to have two people like us in the organization." "I could never skip rocks." "Can you believe it?" "You're not holding it right." "Curl your index around the edge." " What is it?" " Nothing." "The guy asked me if you could be a spy with the CIAor Mossad..." "Somebody who enters a building like that and shoots the way you did..." "It didn't enter his mind." "And after the training we would get a mission?" " Yes, it could be." " Everything okay, Díaz?" "You are not, are you?" " Am I what?" " A spy." "You're kidding me." "Because if you did everything to cover up for those guys it's okay." " But now I want to know the truth?" " What are you talking about?" "Are you an international intelligence agent, yes or no?" "Yes or no?" "Not yet." " Okay." " Still, let me think about it..." "I might change my mind." "I'm not fast on the decision making level." "I did some scuba diving in Cancun during a congress in 1994..." "It was snorkel." "But parachuting..." "Even with an instructor." "I don't know if the instructor would jump with me." "You're not fat, Díaz." "You're a stocky guy." "I'm overweight." "I sweat a lot at night." "Let's give it a try." "That's it." "ON PROBATION"
