Police, Adjective Page #3

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"?

appears insincere,

stating that the drugs are used

only by him and Victor Pascu;

background and his deeds

do not appear to suggest

he represents a danger to society;

At 2:
00 I went back

on Alex lancu at Bacovia High.

He went via Bacovia,

Muresan, Feroviari,

Piata Veche, Filature

and Ion Barbu streets.

He entered the yard of house n 12.

In front of the house

there was a Seat Ibiza,

registration 06 AIC.

I checked it, it belonged to

the company SC. AIAN Constructii SRL,

owned by Aurel lancu.

At 3:
05 appeared the girl with whom

lancu and Pascu have used hashish.

After calling on the intercom,

she entered the yard.

She had changed her

clothes since 10:50.

The young woman left

Alex lancu's residence at 4:25.

I followed her through

Ion Barbu, Filature,

loanisei, Feroviari and Pacii streets,

and she entered in building n 32.

I ascertained that she entered

apartment 12 of entrance B

on which was written

"Paraschiv family".

I ended the pursuit at 4:55."

Hello, Alex... Cristi here.

Could we meet this evening?

Where do you want to meet?

At the Magnolia. That's OK?

See you in half an hour!

Fine. An hour then.

Bye.

- Good evening.

- Sit down.

Dan!

- Bring me a large vodka.

- I'll have a Cola.

Have one.

I don't like drinking alone.

- I don't drink alcohol.

- At all?

I'm afraid my Dad

will smell it when I go home.

- Not even a beer?

- No. Thank you.

- So a large vodka and?

- A cola...

One cola.

- No thank you.

- Also because of your Dad?

Yes...

You're not afraid

he'll smell the hash?

He doesn't know

what hash smells like.

You didn't call

about Victor's brother...

No Sir, because Victor doesn't know

when he's coming home.

Don't call me Sir,

I'm not old...

- It feels more natural...

- Try.

I didn't call 'cause he doesn't

know when he's coming.

I asked him about 3 times then let

it go. So he wouldn't get suspicious.

I need you to bring me some hashish.

I need a sample for the file.

- How much?

- A few grammes,

tell him you want

to smoke it alone.

- He might not give it to me.

- Why?

He's very stingy...

- Stingy?

- Yes, it's just for him.

If he was stingy he wouldn't give

you anything or he'd make you pay.

Maybe that's what he wants. To get me

hooked so then I'll pay him.

- Is that what you think?

- He's capable of doing anything.

But aren't you friends?

In a way we are, in fact we were,

but we're not so close anymore.

- Why?

- Lots of complications...

For example?

- It's no use, Sir.

- Don't sir me.

- It's no use going into it.

- Why not?

I've got history homework for

tomorrow and I have to study more...

- If I could go now...

- You haven't finished your cola.
