Arest

I don't make anything on this deal.

You said three days.

Little girl's birthday passed already.

I promised and I disappointed her.

You're accusing me?

You've been shitting me, saying "soon" everyday.

You're calling me a thief?

Fuck your money and your girl's present.

Really?

Give me my money back. I don't need it anymore.

Can't do it. I paid the guy already.

Can't screw the poor guy now.

Give my money back and that's it.

That's what I get for helping you!

Why should my guy suffer because I trusted you?

-I have your word then? -Look what he's fucking doing to me...

Of course I will.

Have a little patience.

You're shaking as if I need your money.

Remember you promised.

Of course.

You'll see how nice it will look on her. They're slim fit.

-The way they like it. -Really?

Fine.

Let's go.

Look what he's doing to me!

I can also bring a pair for the madam.

Yeah?

Also from him.

He's got blouses, too.

Go on, tell me. What do you think?

The first guy to give you the code name "Lips",

why did he call you like that?

Cause he likes the banana, that's why.

Do you like the banana?

He sure likes it. He got herpes from drooling over it.

Come on, let him answer.

-Don't help him, he's a big boy. -OK.

Answer me, how long do I have to wait?

I don't know, that's how he thought then.

He could've named you differently, but he said "Lips".

All these aliases have something to do with the character.

I don't know why he named me like that.

Maybe it's because of the reports I made.

With my mouth. No?

Then tell me, will you help me out?

Please...

I beg you. I can't do such a thing.

I want, but I can't. I'm not good at that.

It's not that I don't want to.

That's it then.

You could jump on that granny, but when I ask, you can't.

Human nature... So, you'd like to have my help for free.

She tripped, I swear. I never hit to kill anyone in my life.

Others do it, not me.

I can do anything else. Except that.

Stop saying you'll do anything.

It sounds bad. People might get the wrong impression.

It's the only thing I can't do.

That's all I can't do, you have my word.

I can do the face, the head, the ass...

Terrorize them, anything. But I can't do that.

Who told you to do that?

Who told you such a thing?

Are you stupid?

We're not murderers here. You're completely stupid.

-You want to get me into trouble? -No.

You want to get me into trouble, you faggot?

Give me anyone and I'll take care of him. There's no other problem.

Got hot-headed? Back to your cell!

I didn't. I'll do anything, except that.

Please help me out, if you can help me out.

What can you do for me that's worth three years?

I don't see it. What do I get of the same value?

It's only two years.

Really, comrade convict?

Who's got the pen, huh? Is it you who has the pen?

-Tell me, who's got the pen? -You are very right.

On probation it's two, otherwise it's three, not two.

Who decides if you get out on probation?

-Nobody but you. -Obviously.

-And who's holding the pen, me or you? -Only you.

Who told you that?

Why would I have the pen?

Am I the warden here? Do I look like a chimp?

The warden has the pen, not me.

Ask him if you want help.

Beg him, he knows who stays and goes.

Please, I'm begging you.

He listens to you if you ask him.

I'll help out, I'll repay you.

Please, Vali always pays his debts.

-Of course he listens to me. -Please trust me.

I can't break the law for you without something in exchange, isn't it?

It's not fair for one to give and the other to just profit.

You're right.

-Then why is it so hard? Cause it's not. -It's not.

It's the standard arrest method.

The same method the police applies.

You've seen it. It's the repressive-restrictive regime.

We repeat it together if it's not well understood.

Thank you very much.

Every twenty-four hours,

three-four sessions of the intensity the guy can take.

In between, rest and relaxation.

Different topics than those we investigate.

Rest him between sessions, or the tendency to invent appears.

Understood.

We work the soles, knees, nuts, abdomen, kidneys, front, back, side...

We don't work the head.

Everything up to shoulder level. The whole body.

We pay close attention.

We write it down. That's all. It's not that hard.

I'll have someone to help me, right? Of course.

The processing work is done alone, in two or more,

depending on the situation.

I'm sure I can handle it by myself.

Of course you can.

My dear, we're dealing with penguins here.

They piss themselves just by looking at them.

No problem.

I just asked so that I know what to expect.

You know how they are? You'd think they're faggots.

You can fuck their wives in front of them.

Piss on them. Do you understand me?

Yes, I do.

They're all penguins.

I shouldn't even care,

but you get me out of my house, you fucking penguin?

So you see, my dear boy, what the business is?

It's very clear.

Don't forget to speak to comrade warden. I'm begging you.

-Are you haggling with me now? -No.

What is this, the flea market? You mean what?

That you want it upfront?

No way! Only when you consider it's fair to speak for me.

Only when you see that I deserve it.

Only then.

That's more like it.

IN THE LATE '80S

-Where do you want me to come? -To Bucharest.

We're sorry.

-You're from the police? -Yes.

There's no problem, sir, relax, don't worry.

-I'm not worrying, but... -You just have to come.

-Maybe it's a mistake. -No...

You have to come to Bucharest.

We don't know the details.

They sent us to take you, tomorrow we'll drive you back.

I can't come now. Monday I'll be back in Bucharest.

-I'm on holiday with my family. -You have to come.

-We came all this way. -Tomorrow we'll drive you back.

The family can wait here.

-What's this about? -Wait.

It's not up to us.

It's about three-four hours to Bucharest,

the talk with the superiors, then three-four hours back.

Has anything happened?

Nothing happened, relax. There's no problem.

Just a simple statement.

You may stay with the kids until the husband returns and...

I don't mean to be rude, can you please show me an ID?

Of course we can, they're in the car.

Let's get to the car and we'll show you both.

Where are my sandals?

In three, four hours we're back in Bucharest.

-Hi comrade. How are you? -On duty.

We're back from the seaside and we're going to the office.

Have a good shift.

Come on, sir, we've arrived.

I still don't understand why do I have to come to the Police.

Come and you'll see.

Maybe you let me come tomorrow morning.

-Move! I don't have time for this! -Let's go!

Why are you pushing me around?

Nobody pushed you, you tripped on the stairs.

-I didn't, he pushed me. -I didn't.

Move it. Faster. Let's go!

I'm here, aren't I?

I'll get it. I know I promised.

-Is this the guy? -That's the guy.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

What's up?

Look at him how nice he looks.

Been to the seaside, having a tan.

Stop it, please.

Gained a little weight. It's nice at the seaside.

Oh, how I missed you...

So how is it?

Nice?

Tell me, is it nice? You like it?

Do you like the decorations?

What's wrong?

The cat got your tongue?

Stop it, please.

Where are you jumping? Up the wall? Chill.

You're warm, you know?

You're nice to touch.

You'll be doing the program with me.

You'll see how nice we'll work together.
