What the...?

[Witold] On March 20th, 1996,

human remains were found at a construction site.

A medical examination proved they belonged

to Ferdynand "Fred" Pawlowski, missing for 6 years.

Please state your name and relationship with the deceased.

Boguslaw Kalita.

My friends call me Boguś.

- Have you got tobacco? - No, I'm sorry.

How so?

[groans]

You know... I still can't believe it happened.

I remember our encounters as if it was yesterday.

His smile.

Eyes so... full of life.

What was your relationship with the victim?

[inhaling]

I was always just small fry. But I'll tell you about the sharks.

["Cheri Cheri Lady" playing]

TRICITY, 1990

Take my heart, don't lose it

Listen to your heart

Cheri, cheri lady

To know you is to love you

If you call me baby

I'll be always yours

[music becomes more lively]

[people cheering]

[Lucyna chuckling]

A 30/70 split?

- That's a good one. - It is, since it made you laugh.

Your father sold me the license to distribute your tapes in Poland.

Without the master tapes.

- He was supposed to deliver them. - Go file a complaint.

[chuckling]

Without me you've got just a few worthless tapes.

Without my tapes, your license is worth shit.

[blows kiss]

[chuckling]

What do you suggest?

A 50/50 split.

[chuckling]

-[Boguś groans] -[Lucyna] Whoo!

Cheri, cheri lady

Like there's no tomorrow

Take my heart, don't lose it

Listen to your heart

[people cheering]

[Lucyna laughs excitedly]

- And I'll need an advance. - Ahhh!

- And a new Mercedes! - [both laugh]

- You have no restraints, do you? - That's why the world loves me!

Whooo!

[Boguś laughs]

And maybe later... we could go to my place?

But I know you prefer guys. [chuckles]

[Boguś] Don't listen to gossip, I prefer everything.

You like guys, I like guys.

It's good to share common interests.

Lucyna...

You and me.

A dream team.

Goin' through a motion

Love is where you find it

Listen to your heart

Cheri, cheri lady

Living in devotion

It's always like the first time

Let me take a part

Cheri, cheri lady

Like there's no tomorrow

Take my heart, don't lose it

Listen to your heart

Cheri, cheri lady

To know you is to love you

If you call me baby

I'll be always yours

[song ends]

[people cheering and applauding]

Bravo!

The country was transforming.

Everything was up for grabs. You just needed to reach for it.

[contemplative music playing]

My buddy opened a sex shop. [chuckles]

A month's worth of goods sold out in a day.

We just didn't know how long it would last.

Whether the Russkies wouldn't claim us back.

Sure, I wanted to make money, fast.

Like everyone else. Now I know I was naive,

doing business with Lucyna,

but back then, everything was ugly...

grey...

Everything but her. She was like the Sun.

But then you know what the Sun does to people...

when they fly too close to it.

[singing in Polish] In light of love

LOWER SILESIA, 1990

In truth of faith I have found you

Lord, my God

Hidden in silence Deep in the night...

[Lucyna] Kasia!

Kasia, honey!

Kasia?

[moans and panting]

Kasia, don't make a scene...

- I'm not leaving. - What did you come here for?!

I came for you. It's been so long.

Last time I saw you, you had no teeth. [chuckles]

- So you came to do a dental check? - No, to see you.

You did, now go home.

Kasia! Kasia!

[sighs]

[knocking]

[doorbell rings]

Mom! I know you're there, open the door!

You've brought us enough shame already.

Mrs. Majakowa, the slut daughter is back. Pass it on.

Hello, Mrs. Majakowa.

I know I've been gone...

but I'm back now.

When will your father come back?

I don't know.

He doesn't plan to?

[Lucyna breathes deeply]

I talked to Kasia.

She doesn't want to talk to you.

Thought she'd throw her arms around you after all this time?

No.

What did you come back for, anyway?

Did you slip up? Remember you had a family?

[sighs]

You don't know anything about me.

It's not like you hid a lot.

Everyone knows. Kasia does, too. We're a laughingstock.

You corrupted your father, but the child stays!

Shut up, Mom!

You never wanted to know, you just cared what people said.

You didn't give a shit about me or Dad.

You never stood up for me or him.

Right, I'm the worst, as always...

No, you were a mom.

Just like me.

I didn't leave my kid.

- I didn't screw around! - Maybe you should have!

[Marysia gasps]

I ran, because... I ran away from you, don't you see?

I didn't want to be like you!

I want Grandma to adopt me. It'll make things easier for everyone.

Kasia...

Do you want what's best for me? Give up custody to Grandma.

[door slams]

- [Lucyna shudders] - [distant dog barking]

[sniffles]

[Lucyna] How did he die?

Don't act like you care.

Janusz was my husband.

He died because of you.

He had a heart condition.

Is that what Grandma told you?

He was no angel.

But he was there for me. You know?

When they mocked me because of you... he gave them such a beating they cried.

And where were you then? Huh?

[Kasia shudders]

Because...

I mean...

[shudders]

He's my dad.

Don't you dare speak ill of him.

- Go on vacation with me. - I'm not going anywhere with you.

After one month, if you still want to be a stranger,

I'll give you enough money for the rest of your life.

[Kasia shudders]

I don't want your money!

[Kasia sniffles]

I'll give up custody.

And you'll never see me again.

[door opens]

[contemplative music playing]

[music becomes more lively]

[seagulls calling]

[music stops]

Thank you.

[sighs]

The most expensive room in the hotel. With a sea view.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

Do you like it?

Do you have any education?

[chuckles]

What? You wanted us to get to know each other, so let's do it.

[Lucyna] I do.

Elementary school. And three grades of vocational school.

No A-levels?

But you can read?

[Lucyna chuckling]

I can. And I count to 10.

My religion teacher, a nun... said no one liked you.

What counts is that I liked myself.

Let's go to the beach, it's sunny.

[contemplative music playing]

- [door opens] - [Boguś] Lucyna!

Let's go party!

- Uh, what's going on here? - I'm waiting for Mom.

Ah, your mom, huh?

Oh. [chuckles]

Did she just leave you here? All by yourself?

That's simply outrageous.

I'm Boguś.

Lucyna's friend.

Is that what they call a pimp now?

[chuckles] Oh, you!

[chuckling] Fuck.

Ah.

She never told me she had such a great daughter.

And such a bright one, too. But spiteful. [chuckles]

Well, maybe... maybe there's nothing to brag about.

What do you mean, nothing?

You've got beautiful hair.

And your eyes, so huge.

So nicely shaped.

[giggles]

I don't know... I look like a piggy.

[oinks and squeals]

[both chuckle]

You realize it's because of these threads? Right.

I know!

Wait. Oh!

Well?

Come on. Let's party!

- [giggles faintly] - Let's go!

- [Kasia giggles] - [Boguś] I loved that brat.

And she loved me.

She told me things she'd... never tell her mother.

How her friends would slip sex mags with Lucyna into her notebooks.

How after every school lunch she'd induce vomiting in the john.

It's not true that Lucyna was absent in her life.

Nonsense. She was there.

Kasia suffered because of her every day.

[pop music playing]

[Boguś humming]

Hmm.

[people chattering]

My club.

[Boguś continues humming]

[Boguś] Gentlemen.

Please.

[whistles]

Is this okay?

[both chuckle]

To our meeting.

There's Fred. Come, meet him.

Fred! Fred.

This is Kasia.

- Hey, I'm Fred. - [chuckling]

Kissy, kissy!

[all chuckle]

["One More Chance" by Petrina Smith & Andrew Kingslow playing]

Giving you one more chance

One more chance

Up all night Worrying about the things you do

Can get no sleep

Now that dawn is breaking free

I know we had a moment

Even though I was ready To change for you

Oh.

- She looks nice, no? - Did you dress her like that?

Mm-hm.

- Why did you bring her here? - She was bored.

Go buy her a fucking doll! This is not a place for her!

Hey. She might think you're ashamed of her.

She doesn't give a shit what I think.

One last chance

To treat me right

One more chance

Tell her she looks good, for once.

All right.

Now let me show you what we're really celebrating today.

Boo!

What is this?

This is...

our new studio!

[Boguś chuckles]

They were shutting down the local TV station, you see.

I had to act fast.

Distribution alone won't cut it, we need to produce!

We'll rebuild your empire.

Boguś... I'm not going back to acting.

[Boguś breathes deeply]

This is about Kasia, right? But she'd see the goddess in you.

Right now I'm a leper to her.

Give her time.

I've got a month to prove to her that I'm a human being.

And you think quitting acting will change things?

- This is not about acting! - It's the least I can do.

- I can't change the past. - And the future?

We'll get out of here!

[Lucyna chuckles]

We?

- Why not? - [chuckles]

Poland is just the beginning!

We'll go to the States!

People there are open-minded,

not like in this backwater.

We'll live like royalty there.

We'll buy a mansion with a swimming pool.

[Lucyna chuckles]

We'll send Kasia to school.

- She has to give me a chance first. - And she will.

Don't you worry about a thing. Focus on Kasia...

and don't worry.

I'll take care of everything.

[seagulls calling]

- Come, let's go to the hotel. - [retching]

Get up.

[gasping]

Easy.

Let go! I'm not drunk!

Let's go to the hotel.

Dear Mommy likes to play family!

It's not far, come on.

You got tired of it when I was little, and you will again.

[groaning]

I wanted to take you with me back then.

You know... when I was five,

I took Grandpa's suitcase.

I wouldn't let anyone unpack it, because... [shuddering]

I had to be ready for Mommy, when she comes to get me.

Because... you promised you'd...

you promised you'd come for me.

He wouldn't let me have you. Janusz...

Don't lie!

You didn't want me!

It was easier for you without me...

Yes, it was.

- But I knew who I was doing it for. - Please!

You did it all for yourself.

Tell me the truth, at least.

The truth is that had I stayed,

you'd always see me in tears and with a black eye.

Kasia...

[quiet moody music playing]

[music fades]

[Boguś] I felt sorry for Lucyna.

It must be painful...

when your own child despises you.

I wanted to help.

I convinced her to quit acting for some time

and take care of her daughter.

Especially as business was going great. The tapes were selling like crazy.

But she was greedy.

Distribution wasn't enough for her, she wanted to act.

[pop music playing]

Boys!

Meet...

Honey, look.

All of them genuine, hand-picked by me.

[both chuckling]

[Boguś] Ahhh.

- Can they handle women? - Ahhh. You can handle them.

All of them. [chuckles]

I just thought that...

maybe you'd like to meet them...

see what they've got.

I told you, I'm not going back to acting.

[pop music stops]

You said you needed time for the kid.

- And you got it. - From you?

We couldn't wait till you finally returned to the set! [chuckles]

You, our star!

- You'll blow them all in two hours. - [chuckles]

You're right, I'll play in your film.

[both laughing]

[Boguś gasps]

- But only with you. - [groans]

Well? What is it, Boguś?

[groans]

- Do you need a doctor? - Get the fuck out!

Now!

[footsteps]

Don't tell me what to do. You don't know shit about me.

Drop the mother-of-the-year act.

We'll build an empire,

and then we can play house!

[chuckles]

I'd sooner get rid of you than act in your porn flick.

We're in business together, that's it.

How so?

And our dream team? Our plans?

[chuckling]

Your plans, Boguś.

I've got mine, and they don't include you.

I've invested in you.

I've given you all I've got.

I have to get Kasia.

- Do you have kids? - [inhaling]

No.

I come from a broken family.

That's why I've always wanted to have my own.

I just wanted to be close to Lucyna.

And I treated Kasia like my daughter.

I loved them both.

[Boguś sighs]

But Lucyna doesn't know how to love.

Hey.

Hey.

[both chuckle]

Can we talk?

Sure.

Let's go for a ride.

Okay.

Damn!

[Boguś chuckles]

Go on.

-Something to drink? Hm? - Mm. No, thanks.

[both chuckle]

[soulful music playing]

Ay ay ay ay ay.

I've got a problem with your mother.

- Welcome to the club. - [chuckles]

She owes me a lot of money.

Talk her into working it off.

How?

Convince her to play in my film.

Why would she listen to me?

Because she quit acting...

for you.

I'm worried about you two. She always supported all of you.

Her mother, Janusz, you.

What are you going to do if she stops making money?

- I'll go to work. - What kind of work?

Scrubbing toilets?

Thanks to her money...

you could study in the US, in France...

We'll conquer the world!

Together.

But maybe I... I don't want any "together"?

[Boguś] Hmm.

[tense music playing]

Only thanks to her money...

can you get away from her.

[gasps]

You're such an asshole.

[grunting]

[rattling door knob]

[gasps]

Let me out, asshole!

[gasping]

You hear me?!

- Drink this. - No way.

I'll start screaming!

[panting]

Drink it.

[tense music becomes faint]

Darek.

[door opens]

[man] Boguś!

- What are you doing? - Excuse me.

What's wrong with her?

Fred... you know I love you, but get the fuck out of here.

- But... - Fred! We'll talk about it at home.

[door opens and closes]

Let's get on with it.

[music becomes ominous]

You'll kill her!

She'll be fine! She's too high to...

remember anything.

She's a child!

Have you heard about aversion therapy?

- What? - They hook you up to electrodes

and show you sex mags.

That's how I saw gay porn for the first time.

Yep. And when you get turned on, they electrocute you!

To disgust you!

- You're taking revenge on her mother. - My parents did it to me, get it?

Because they found me disgusting!

Because I was a pervert!

My parents who were supposed to love me!

Boguś... I love you.

That's in the past.

We can... leave it all

and lead a normal life...

We can't do anything, see?

People like us always, always have to fight!

And I'm fighting.

For my real family.

I can't. I'm sorry.

I'm not as strong as you.

During a war...

you have to pick sides.

Are you with me?

[tense music playing]

Are you with me, Fred?

[panting]

[music stops]

Kasia's not here?

- Shall we watch a movie? - I'm too tired for this shit.

- She was supposed to wait for me here. - [chuckles]

Ay ay ay ay.

Come on.

- It'll be fun. - She went somewhere with Fred, right?

Answer me.

[ominous music playing]

You motherfucker!

[both grunting]

[Lucyna gasping]

[Boguś] Huh? Huh?

She lacks experience, but she'll catch on.

- I'll fucking kill you! - [chuckling]

- I'll find a market for this, too. - You're dead, motherfucker.

[gasps and sobs]

Actually...

I don't care which one of you makes money for me.

[Lucyna sobbing]

[Boguś] So? Which tape do we publish? Kasia's?

- Or do we wait for yours? - [panting]

[moody music playing]

[people clapping]

[chuckling] There she is! Our star!

Bravo!

[sniffing]

[inhaling]

Action!

[moody music fades]

I did what you wanted me to!

- Where is she? - What?

Relax, it's just the first film. Kasia will come back when we're done.

When?!

Only when I have enough material... to secure me a happy retirement.

I'll sign a contract for a million films, just let her go!

Lucyna...

the problem is I don't trust you anymore.

We could've conquered the world.

But you decided to leave me.

Like you left Kasia when she was little.

And now I'm very well aware...

that you're simply unable to love.

Anyone!

Damn it, Fred, I need to stop treating business so personally.

Help me, please...

- [Boguś] Fred, come. - [moody music playing]

Boguś! Boguś.

[whimpering] I beg you...

[car engine starts]

Boguś!

[moody music stops]

- Fred! Fred! Fred! - [knocking]

Fred, open up! I know you're there!

I know you're alone, open up! Let me in! [sobbing]

Kasia adores you, and your singing. You like her too. Please, help!

- Help, I beg you! - Lucyna, hold on. Let me...

He'll kill her! I'm begging you!

- Tell me where she is... - Listen to me...

Where is she?!

Where is she?! Help me, please...

Please, help me, please! [sobbing]

Wait.

[panting]

[intriguing music playing]

[person laughing and chattering]

Kasia... We need to hurry.

Lucyna is waiting in the car.

Don't fall asleep!

Let's go!

We have to hurry.

-[clattering] -[gasps]

-She was a ruthless woman. -[intriguing music stops]

I was afraid of her.

She treats people like springboards.

Bouncing on their backs.

To achieve her goals.

Not caring to look if she breaks someone's neck along the way.

[ominous music playing]

[Lucyna] Wait, stop for a sec.

Don't be afraid.

It's okay, my baby.

[both panting]

[Kasia gasps]

It's okay now. Come.

- Mom... - We're going to the hospital.

Easy, now.

[ominous music fades]

This...

Easy. Get in, get in.

You'll be safe, you are safe.

Wait here.

[tense music playing]

[tense music continues]

[music becomes dramatic]

[screaming and groaning]

[panting]

[music stops]

You know, I'm an easy-going man, but...

but when I think of her...

I loved her, I trusted her.

And she robbed me, she torched my club. She took everything from me.

She probably whacked Fred, too. And she got Kasia involved...

So... you're suggesting Lucyna Baron

is responsible for Ferdynand Pawlowski's death?

Worse. It was her daughter.

I have it on tape.

[dramatic music playing]

[music stops]

[tense music playing]

[music intensifies]

[music fades]
