00:01:39.750 --> 00:01:42.500
Good morning,
let me see your driving permit please.

00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:43.900
Sure.

00:01:56.550 --> 00:01:58.630
Your driving licence?

00:02:05.300 --> 00:02:06.300
Oh, so you\'re Spanish.

00:02:08.500 --> 00:02:09.700
Where are you heading to?

00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:12.100
To Alicante.
We went to Morocco to visit the family.

00:02:12.130 --> 00:02:13.130
Quite wrecking!

00:02:15.100 --> 00:02:16.450
What do you have there?

00:02:16.500 --> 00:02:17.700
Personal things.

00:02:19.880 --> 00:02:21.880
Move out of your vehicle,
if you please.

00:02:31.300 --> 00:02:32.600
Unload please.

00:02:45.219 --> 00:02:48.200
You’d better leave the car,
it’s very hot.

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:53.000
Mirei!

00:03:37.776 --> 00:03:40.776
Open up please.

00:03:48.300 --> 00:03:52.065
I want you to take everything out.
It’s the routine procedure you know.

00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:54.000
Everything?

00:03:54.700 --> 00:03:55.700
Yes, everything.

00:04:00.760 --> 00:04:02.603
That’s mine.

00:04:37.557 --> 00:04:38.557
It’s ok.

00:04:39.400 --> 00:04:40.800
You don’t have drugs in here, do you?

00:04:40.850 --> 00:04:41.850
I swear I don’t.

00:04:41.900 --> 00:04:42.950
May I?

00:04:46.625 --> 00:04:47.625
Thank you.

00:04:49.200 --> 00:04:50.200
And you?

00:04:50.700 --> 00:04:51.700
Me what?

00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:52.950
Do you have anything?

00:04:53.200 --> 00:04:54.000
Don’t dare touch me!

00:04:54.300 --> 00:04:56.300
Don’t worry...
it only takes a second.

00:04:58.139 --> 00:04:59.139
Excuse me...

00:05:01.900 --> 00:05:03.580
You don’t have the right to treat us that way.
I’m going to sue you!

00:05:03.590 --> 00:05:04.590
Sara!

00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:09.200
I understand her mood but
do you want us to be called out?

00:05:09.500 --> 00:05:10.800
Please understand.
She’s a little nervous.

00:05:10.900 --> 00:05:12.300
Don’t worry,
it’s normal.

00:05:14.500 --> 00:05:17.836
103 Speaking here.
No news. Everything’s ok.

00:05:19.580 --> 00:05:25.000
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Things are very bad. You may move on.

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.000
Have a good trip.
Let’s go.

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:36.000
Good bye.

00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:38.800
Wake Up!

00:08:08.260 --> 00:08:09.260
Help!

00:08:14.436 --> 00:08:16.000
Help me! Please!

00:08:32.500 --> 00:08:33.500
Please!
