The Dancer Upstairs Page #15

The ballet mistress doesn't know who lives upstairs.

Probably our suspect relies on the staircase at the back.

Once you're over-- Once you're over the wall...

...you're not to fire unless you're fired on first.

Is that clear? There's a dance class in there.

We wait until the class is out.

- Captain Rejas?

- Yes.

Meeting broke up minutes ago.

He's watching television.

- Who else is with him? - Three others.

- They are resting in a back room.

- The dance class?

It was fine, sir.

We wait until all the mothers have left.

- Is that clear?

- Got it, sir.

Here they come.

Oh, God, she's going back inside.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Come on.

Come on.

Bye.

Get on with it!

Look, sir, upstairs.

That's him, isn't it?

Men in position.

Sir? Men in position.

We are ready to go.

This is the captain. You can go in.

Well?

It's him.

Stand up before the captain.

Professor Edgardo Rivas.

Captain Rejas, Anti-Terrorist Police.

We've met before.

You'll never kill this.

- How many others?

- Four.

It doesn't matter if you shoot us. We are in history.

We are not going to shoot anyone.

Find him a sensible pair of shoes...

...and take him outside.

Yes, sir.

What are you doing?

Let her go!

Okay, calm down.

Those bastards!

Don't worry, calm down.

Calm down.

It's okay. Thank God, you're safe.

You don't know who we've got upstairs.

What's going on?

What's going on?

Don't be frightened.

These are my men.

Don't you dare harm him.

You'll pay with your life if you harm him.

Yolanda?

Is Yolanda with you?

Everyone's with us, captain.

Fourth flame of Communism...

He's just a big, fat man in a cardigan.

Sir?

It could be really dangerous if you don't ring Calderon.

Yes, it could be.

Cecilia?

Do you have that list of the press attaches?

And now, breaking news.

Late last night in a residential district...

... terrorist leader Ezequiel was

captured along with several accomplices.

- Where is the ballerina? - No more questions.

- I haven't finished the interrogation.

- Captain Agustin Rejas...

- ... declined to comment on the details. - If you're not...

... busy next election, I have a job for you.

The palace has refused comment...

...and the whereabouts of Ezequiel at present are unknown.

Rejas did confirm that Ezequiel's real

name is Edgardo Rodriguez Rivas...

...and that he was taken into custody without incident.

When will she come around?

Half an hour, maybe. I gave her another shot at 6.

She didn't understand what was going on.

You're wrong, boss.

Are you Rejas?

Orders from the palace. The prisoners are no longer under your authority.

Okay! Get them out!

Professor Edgardo Rivas, you're coming with us.
