Narcopolis Page #2

Synopsis: Narcopolis is a futuristic thriller set in the near future where all classes of drugs have been legalized. Frank Grieves is a 'Dreck', a roaming narc responsible for keeping the black market dealers off the streets and the licenced drugs companies rich. When he discovers a rogue substance in an unidentified corpse, evidence suggests that Ambro, the most powerful drug manufacturer of all, are conducting secret tests on an experimental narcotic. Grieves discovers a second victim - this time alive - but she disappears and he is suddenly taken off the case by his superiors. As his options drain away, it's clear that legalization has come at a heavy price. Is it too late to save the city?

Oh, right. How's that going?

Thanks, Dad.

New neighbours.

Mum puts the TV on to hide the noise.

Are you still angry with Mum?

I'm not angry with her.

Is that what she said?

I can't stay, Ben. You know why.

You can come over and see me

at my place.

I don't like your place.

I want you to live here.

I'm sorry, it's not that simple.

Why isn't it?

'Ambro Infinity lasts up

to five times longer than our rivals.

'If you want safe play,

then you have to play safe.

'Only Ambro products

carry my personal guarantee.

I had them knocking on my door today.

- Cold calling.

- Who?

Who'd you think? Ambro.

I'm not sure how long

we can go on like this.

Six months.

- I...

- I don't think I'm gonna make it.

- What does that mean?

Someone at the diner said

trading's picked up in the north.

A lot of abandoned accommodation

going begging.

- What's this got to do with anything?

- We can start again.

Get a small house

in the middle of nowhere. No drugs.

Just us.

Who's "us"?

Angie?

Look...

I'm sorry about tonight. But I'll make it

up to you both, I promise.

I could come by at the weekend,

when you're working.

Come on, Angie.

- I'm free on Saturday.

- Saturday...

Good. It can be just the three of us.

You look like a man

who puts in the hours.

What you poppin', man?

You need a little bit extra-sweet

medicine for your tired bones?

Not interested, pal.

Listen, I'm not talkin' licensed sh*t.

I can get you some really bad.

Come on. You look down, bruv.

Let me sort you out.

Calm the f*** down!

We call you people

rogue addiction traders.

RATS.

Might give you some clue as to how

I feel about you offering URDs to me.

Are you Dreck, man? Sh*t!

And I'm void.

Your worst nightmare.

All right, keep your sense of humour.

I was only joking.

You think this is funny?

Think this is funny?

Please, stop.

Please, please.

Thanks for the free samples.
