Overdose Page #2

Synopsis: In times of crisis people seek strong leaders and simple solutions. But what happens when their solutions are identical to the mistakes that caused the very crisis? 'Overdose' is the story of the greatest economic crisis of our age - the one that awaits us. The documentary traces the origins of the financial crisis and explores the eerie similarities with today's situation, where states like Greece, Iceland and even the U.S. seems to be in danger of collapsing. Among those interviewed are experts who were mocked when they predicted the current crisis. Other interviewees include Nobel laureate Vernon Smith and former US Comptroller General David Walker (I.O.U.S.A). The film is shot in the U.S., Sweden and Germany and makes extensive use of music, archive footage and graphics.

- Alright alright. I don't need preaching.

I don't have louses, heroin makes you itch.

It's a nice feeling, it's

nice to scratch yourself.

- Right. I know it's dangerous,

but I can control myself.

I'm not going to get hooked.

Hi. - Hi, where have you been?

Out with some friends.

I'm going to the pharmacy,

your mothers' pains

have returned and she's

out of injections.

- If you like I can go.

- No, let's go together, I feel like a walk.

The pharmacy on the

corner is open on duty.

Good evening, how

may I help you?

- Good evening, a box of pethidine please.

Do you have a prescription?

I seem to have left it at home.

- I'm sorry, but pethidine

contains morphine and

without a prescription I

cannot sell it to you.

- Shall I go home and get it?

It's ok. Look, I am a Captain

of the Guardia Civil.

- Ok, wait one moment.

You'll soon feel better.

Paquito, go to bed.

- Sleep well. If god so wishes Paquito.

Good night father.

- Good night, turn off the

light in the hall, not like yesterday.

- Sure.

I probably should have

told the boy off.

- Why? What do you mean why?, look

at the time he's come home at.

He has me very concerned.

Something's wrong.

- At his age exercise

and more sun is

needed, but here, always raining, the only

thing he can do is go from bar to bar.

I hope he can achieve his degree, so he

can be accepted in the military academy.

There he'll become a man and

will have no more trouble.

Do you really believe

that's the solution?

- Of course, make no mistake.

Besides, young

people today have a

hard time finding work.

The army means a secure future.

Why did you two decide to shoot up?

- Money, girl.

- You'll see, just a bit of powder

equals three sniffed lines.

You go first.

- Alright give it here, tighten hard.

It sets my teeth on edge.

Leave it to me, I'll shoot you.

Well?, can you feel it?

The heart is going...

thump... thump... thump...

How is it?

Get ready. Your turn now.

I'm coming.

Who is it?

- Betty sends us.

Hi.

Come in.

Cut, cut.

Hi.

- Hi. Quickly, I'm working.

Bye.

- Bye.

Well done boys. Great job.

- It wasn't very hard, you

have a good clientele.

We know what we're doing.

Pilar, fetch two beers for the boys.

- Alright.

And, what about our commission?

- Easy, take it easy.

Here you are. There's more than one gram.

This is very little.

- Hey come on, surely you've

stuck your fingernails in

the folds of the customers.

None of that Cojo, we're legit.

- Here are the beers,

they're not very cold.

I need to watch my interests

boys, I'm to be a father.

Ok, but keep in mind we

are very good dealers.

Let's see where

else you can find

sons of cops and politicians.
