The Dancer Upstairs Page #2
What happened?
She closed the case
after her father lost his job...
...and her brother was raped.
She now lives in Miami.
Jesus Christ!
F***.
When I hear the word culture
I reach for my pistol
Okay, now...
What sort of a person would do that?
I don't know.
But I wouldn't entirely
rule out a cat lover.
I have something for my father,
Senor Granizo.
Okay, okay. Senor Granizo?
Here's your son.
Papa, Papa!
Viva El Presidente Ezequiel!
Viva El Presidente Ezequiel.
- You were a lawyer before?
- That's right.
Lawyers.
They're the worst.
Bent. But you never catch them.
You want one?
No, thanks.
Why did you want to be a lawyer?
- I don't think I did want to be one.
- Well, what did you want to be?
I wanted to be a coffee farmer.
Like my father.
So why didn't you?
What stopped you?
I lack a coffee farm.
- What happened to your father's?
Do you have a feeling about that?
Or are you the Gary Cooper type?
Yes, I do have a feeling about that.
But perhaps I am the Gary Cooper type.
So...
...you went to university,
you got yourself a first-class degree...
...a prestigious law prize...
...worked with a bunch of fat cats...
Suddenly, you quit.
Not to move to Florida,
like anyone with half a brain...
...but to San Luis Police Academy.
Jesus Christ, Rejas.
You're 36 years old. You could
be heading for a judgeship by now...
...not a lieutenant having to make
ends meet on diplomatic road watch.
Why are you here?
I heard a powerful attorney once say,
"The establishing of the truth...
...was only one of the things
a trial is for. "
That is when I understood
the law wasn't for me.
Do you have a delicate
constitution or something?
No, sir. No.
You speak Quechua?
Well, yes. My mother's part lndian.
At police college...
...we used to make the lndians
eat dog sh*t.
Then it's fortunate that
I wasn't in your class, sir.
- Fortunate for whom?
Here's what I want you to do.
I want you to take four people...
...you know, if you can find four
who aren't on some criminal's payroll...
...and I want you to investigate
Find out what's happening
before the army does.
You wanna see the army
back on the street again?
- You can go.
- Thank you, sir.
May I take this?
What did you tell Calderon
about Ezequiel?
Nothing.
You're not the only policeman here
who speaks quechua.
Man stoned to death.
A 33-year-old policeman was stoned
to death last week in Sierra de Puna. "
Mystery surrounds body.
An unidentified body was found,
...on a roadside near Jauja,
200 miles east of the capital.
