Police, Adjective Page #2

Synopsis: In grim, dull Vaslui, Cristi is a young police officer, conscientious, laconic, recently married to Anca, a teacher. He's tailing a kid who smokes pot and may be supplying his friends. Cristi dislikes the assignment: the kid's clearly not a dealer, an arrest would ruin his life, and, Cristi assumes that Romania will soon tolerate marijuana. His superior tells him flatly that the law is the law and to finish the case with a quick arrest. Cristi wants to follow the informant, a youth whose father is a builder. Cristi watches, he smokes, he writes reports, he wants to meet with the prosecutor. Can a cop have a conscience? Is the noun being modified "procedural" or "state"?

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.

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:

the source of the drugs;
