"POLICE, ADJECTIVE"

Good morning, Prosecutor. Cristi here.

I wonder if I could discuss something with you.

Today, if possible.

In an hour. That's perfect! Thank you very much.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Nelu's not here? - I think he's at the meeting.

- Didn't he leave a GPS for me? - No.

- What are you doing? - It's mine.

That's his closet, right?

Wait ten minutes, he should be here.

In fact, I wanted to talk to you. You still play foot-tennis, right?

- Yeah. - Where?

By the pool.

Can I come too? I want to lose this belly...

Why don't you jog if you want to lose weight?

I get bored jogging. With tennis, you follow the ball, it's different.

- So, how about it? - All the positions are filled.

I can get a team together.

Waste of time. Boys won't be interested. They play too well for you.

How do you know how I play?

I've seen you, you're not much good.

What's that got to do with it?

Well, if you're weak at football, you're weak at foot-tennis...

- Where'd you get that idea? - Nowhere. That's how it is, it's a law.

- Is it written down somewhere? - No, but it's still a law.

Just say you don't want me to come!

- I think I just did. - Don't go on about laws then.

I'm not going on about any law.

You are no good, you'd only disrupt us.

- "Disrupt you"? - Yeah. If you're not good, you'll disrupt us,

right?

Serious game this foot-tennis. You'd think you were talking about chess.

Listen, tell Nelu I was looking for him to get that GPS back.

- I'll tell him. - Good.

Bye.

- Hello! - Hi!

The Boss was asking about you again.

Did you tell him I was busy?

He said to go to him when you're finished.

- Did you say I was busy? - I told him.

- What? - That you were busy.

- Is that all? - I said you were tailing the kid...

- And what did he say? - Like I said, go to him when you'd finished.

- Is that all? - That's all.

- See you. - Bye.

- Good morning! - Hello!

Come in.

- Good morning. - Hello Cristi.

Take a seat.

Is it ready?

Not really.

What's this?

The case with the kid?

I've been following him a week. Nothing!

- Meaning... - I've also brought you the pursuit reports.

He's very withdrawn: school, home,

a girl visits him sometimes, and that's it.

- And his brother? - I called Bucharest,

- he's in no database. - Circle of friends?

Alex, the squealer, and a girl, I don't know her name.

They don't seem to have friends. He doesn't.

- He smokes? - Yes.

- What? - Hashish.

- Does he sell? - No. And the squealer doesn't even

say he sells...

Where and when does he smoke?

Breaktimes, in a park by the old army base...

- And then they go to school? - Only Alex.

Who's Alex?

- Alex is the squealer. - I see...

- And the other two? - They hang around, or go to a bar.

Once they went to his place... It's all in the file.

The parents?

- Whose? - His, the dealer's.

Victor... I wouldn't call him a dealer, because he isn't selling.

As far as you know. What do his parents do?

They both work at a dairy, he's a manager, she's an accountant.

The kind of couple who leaves hand-in-hand comes home together.

- Neighbours? - Nothing special.

I spoke to two. One is a friend of mine in their building.

Hardly knows him. He knows the brother better, the guy fixed his computer twice.

They're computer freaks.

And what does Anghelache say?

I've avoided him.

He'll ask me to make a sting operation and sort it out when we take the statements.

- What do you propose instead? - I'd begin following the squealer.

Why?

I don't understand why he squeals on the other guy.

For the girl.

If he's the source of the drugs?

Then I've nothing, no evidence except what this kid is telling me.

Cristi, you still have to make the sting operation,

don't you?

I think we're rushing.

If his brother is the source, there are two options...

- The first? - He won't tell us about the brother

and we'll get him only for consuming.

- He'll say... - I wouldn't squeal on my brother.

Sure... The second option?

He squeals, he'll never forgive himself,

and I don't want that on my conscience.

Did you put the joint in his mouth?

- That's the law, and that's it. - A pretty bad law then.

Cristi, you're not qualified to comment on the law.

Ok...

I went on honeymoon to the Czech Rep...

- You got married? - Yes.

Congratulations. Good for you, Cristi. Why not Paris?

Paris, the "City of Love"!

My wife wanted it. If it was up to me, we'd have gone to Turkey, to the coast.

Prague's beautiful too. It's called the "Golden City".

The "Golden City"?

There're many buildings with gold on them.

I saw a theatre with an entire ceiling of gold.

Did you know that The Black Church in Brasov once had a golden roof?

Yes. It burned down.

That's what the government should be doing.

Renovate the roof of the Black Church.

Then we could call Brasov "The City of Gold".

You know, it used to be called Stalin City.

"City of Gold" sounds great too. It would attract loads of tourists.

Prague's a much bigger city.

Well, then we could call it The Little Prague. It would still be better.

Well, anyway...

We'd have Bucharest as "Little Paris" and Brasov, "Little Prague".

- Sounds great, doesn't it? - Yes.

Prague is also called "Little Paris".

- Really?! - Yes... well.

You know what? Those Czechs are smart. They just say it to sound more important.

Isn't it the same thing with Bucharest?

Let's see. Tell me more about this file...

That's why I brought up The Czech Republic.

They smoke in the street and it's no big deal.

I'm sure that soon, the law will change here too.

Cristi, there won't be any change in the law.

Nowhere in Europe are you arrested for smoking ajoint.

Cristi, listen to this old guy.

Maybe attitudes will change a bit, but the law won't. Anything else?

I don't wanna put him in jail then meet him 7 years later...

He's out in 3 and a half. Or less. His father's an accountant, he's well off...

I don't want to ruin somebody's life for a law that will change soon.

Cristi, don't be obstinate. Enough nonsense about this law.

You're getting hung up on the law...

What do you propose about the file?

To begin following the squealer. I think he's the key.

I propose you wind up the case as soon as possible,

because it's a small matter to spend so much time on.

- OK. - Right?

- I have another request. - Go on.

Two in fact.

First, to object if the Boss wants me to make the sting operation...

No. The second...

- Don't tell him we've spoken. - Fine.

- Anything else? - I'll call you when I have

- something more solid. - Fine.

- Take the file. - Aren't you going to read it?

I'll read it when you're finished.

- Thank you. - Right. Bye.

Hello, Sica.

I need you to run a check on a car for me.

06 AIC.

A for Anca, I for Ion, not Judas, C for Cristi.

This evening. I'll come around later.

Thanks.

Sasha, Sasha! Sasha, come here!

Sasha, come here!

Yes.

Yes.

Of course I remember. I spoke to them.

It's fixed. I've to go pick it up.

But I can't get home unless I get out of the office.

Thanks. Love you too. Bye.

- Yes? - Did you find it?

Yes. Look.

Belongs to a company. AIAN CONSTRUCT SA.

Sounds familiar...

It's a construction firm that built the block in Crucea Garii...

Yeah...

It's pretty big... belongs to Aurel lancu.

- That's why it's called AIAN? - I suppose.

Look, I got you the other cars.

- Thanks. All the best. - Yes.

"Pursuit report no. 7

Today I began the pursuit of the aforementioned Victor Pascu at 7:40,

when he left his residence at 23 Toamnei St

and went towards Bacovia High School,

along the route described in the previous reports.

On the way, the suspect met nobody did not use his mobile phone and

smoked a single cigarette, which I checked

but which was not of relevance to this case.

I resumed tailing at 10:50 in the yard of nursery 14.

Victor Pascu, Alex lancu and the girl previously described smoked a cigarette,

remains of which were positive when tested for THC. However:

1. I have not determined the source of the drugs;

2. Alex lancu, the informant, appears insincere,

stating that the drugs are used only by him and Victor Pascu;

3. Pascu has a stable family background and his deeds

do not appear to suggest he represents a danger to society;

At 2:00 I went back on Alex lancu at Bacovia High.
