Original subtitles

[in German] The pan... must be hot.

- [sizzling] - Whoo!

[Lucyna and audience laughs]

[in German] And... wet

[in German] Yes.

- [in German] Yes... Yes. - [audience chuckling]

[in German] And now, very carefully...

[in German] Very.

- Ah! - [audience cheers]

[in German] And now, we stir.

[in German] Like that.

[both chuckle]

[audience cheering]

[Lucyna in German] And...

done.

[in German] A breakfast your man will love!

- [Lucyna shouts] - [audience continues cheering]

[in German] Not every woman can whip it up. You are the main ingredient.

[in German] I am an ordinary woman.

[in German] I do the laundry, yeah...

- [in German] I cook... - [in German] You do porn.

[in German] I work!

[in German] But... I have a unique job.

[in German] I'm just like you.

[audience applauds]

[in German] And you... can be like me.

[snickering]

[in German] Make your life...

hot!

[audience cheering]

[lively music playing]

[in German] We'll be back after a short break.

Ooh! Ooh ooh ooh!

- [object clatters] - Whoo!

[in German] You were supposed to stay clean before the show.

- [music stops] - Huh.

[in German] Everyone saw me naked already.

- [in German] Not on TV. That's different! - [groans]

[in German] I've got enough problems, don't be another one.

[Lucyna groans weakly]

- [in German] We need to go. - [in German] Don't shout at me!

[growls] [in German] Grow up, already!

[in German] I don't want to.

[in German] I'm hungry. I want my rambled eggs.

[in German] Scrambled, not rambled. Come.

[in German] No, no. Please.

I remember that show. [chuckles]

A buddy sent me a tape from Germany.

Back then she was the biggest star in West Germany.

She appeared on TV,

in the newspapers. They wrote songs about her.

Everyone knew her, not just the wankers.

She was a philanthropist.

Yes. But I don't think anyone really knew her.

She spread her money around.

Soup kitchens, shelters for old prostitutes,

AIDS patients.

Just because.

She didn't make a show of it. That's how she was. My little girl.

[in German] Nevertheless, you'll do as I say.

[in German] No! Seriously?

[in German] I'm not wearing this!

[in German] Nuns are sexy.

- [in German] That's blasphemy! - [in German] Yes.

[in German] It is blasphemy.

[in German] Blasphemy sells.

[in German] We'll do "Holy Fuck."

[in German] Mary and Joseph in the stable, Mary on top.

[chuckling]

[in German] I'm not wearing this.

[Baron in German] All right. We're wasting time.

[in German] And time is money. Our money.

[in German] What do you want? Are we a team?

[in German] And what do you want?

[chuckles and sniffs]

[in German] Transfer the money.

Fuck!

[quiet dramatic music playing]

[in German] Yes. And?

- [in German] Give me my coke. - [in German] Baron said not to.

[in German] Ah! And I say: give it to me! Do you want to work here or not?

[chuckles]

[in German] We don't need an intro, we go straight to the tits, okay?

Fuck!

[in German] Let's go, people! Move it!

[in German] Camera, sound.

[in German] Go!

[sniffs]

[in German] Please!

[in German] Never any man!

[in German] "I've never been with a man before." Once again.

[screams]

[in German] I've never been with a man before.

[in German] There's a first for everything.

[Lucyna moans passionately]

[both moaning]

[quiet dramatic music playing]

Your nose is bleeding.

[director in German] Go on!

- [in German] Go on! What are you doing? - [in German] Just a sec!

- [music stops] - [director in German] Who is this?

Why didn't you tell me you were coming?

I wasn't sure I'd make it across the border.

- Who let you in here? - [chuckles]

I showed them my ID.

I've got something for you.

- [Lucyna] She's grown. - [Stefan] Uh-huh.

I tried calling, but... Janusz said Kasia doesn't want to talk to me.

[Stefan] Oh, come on.

Kasia is a wonderful kid.

But she only understands what Janusz or your mother tell her.

And you?

I missed you so much, sweetheart.

I love you.

[in German] Won't you introduce us?

[in German] My father.

Stefan.

My husband.

- [in German] What? - [in German] Husband.

[in German] Right. We need you on the set.

[in German] Lucyna, now!

Wait here.

[dramatic music playing]

I wanted to fucking thrash those pig eyes of his!

But that would be dumb: beating a German,

right after having crossed the border illegally.

But I thought it was all his fault. I just wanted to protect her.

You know... to a parent, their child will always be a child.

No matter how old they are.

And my child needed me.

Only later did I realize...

she didn't need anyone.

[classical music playing]

[chuckling]

Cover yourself a bit.

[Lucyna continues chuckling]

Ah, Dad...

The haircut he gave me... I look like a bald guy.

He was just supposed to trim the sides.

Dad, he did what I wanted and what I told him to. It's fine.

Fine. I look like your pimp.

[chuckling]

Eat.

Uh-uh, no, not with the knife and fork. Take it.

Uh-huh.

- You strip this away. - What is this?

The most expensive dish on the menu.

Some lemon.

And...

in it goes.

- Jesus... No, no, no way. - Dad...

[in German] I'm sorry.

If he looks like that at you again, I'll kill the motherfucker.

Motherfuckers like him buy our lunch.

I don't know what's worse: them staring or you enjoying it.

[chuckles] Dad!

[in German] Thank you.

- What are you staring at, pervert? - Dad!

[in German] Thanks, everything is fine.

[in German] Thank you.

Calm down!

The pervert.

Shut the fuck up. This is my favorite restaurant.

Behave yourself!

Eat!

I'll eat the...

- bread and butter. - Very well.

- You can't let some motherfucker... - I don't need your protection!

Have you seen my house? My car?

I can take care of myself!

You know what I saw? Blood running from your nose.

They are using you!

I am using them.

They pay for looking at me. Don't you get it? I have power.

I'm not some hausfrau living in a loveless marriage.

Tell me... do you really love him?

Or his money?

[moody contemplative music playing]

I'm the one making it.

He does what I want.

You always told me one should ask more of life.

You wanted to get out.

I did.

[breathing deeply]

Why can't you appreciate it?

[music fades]

You ask me what it's like to watch your daughter in porn?

Is it nice to think that your buddy is wanking to her?

Do you know what's great?

Knowing that your child is on top.

That she has everything.

That is nice.

- You look good. - Okay.

[in German] Lucyna! You're filming today.

[chuckles] [in German] Katja will fill in for me.

[in German] You haven't been on set for a week.

[in German] I'm busy.

- [in German] Blowing my cash. - [in German] It's our cash.

[in German] Has he found a job yet?

[in German] He won't work in the business.

[in German] Doesn't get hard anymore?

[in German] Watch it.

[in German] He doesn't understand a word.

[in German] Mr. Baron, I can still get it up, no worries.

[in German] I apologize. It hasn't been easy lately.

[in German] The competition is getting stronger,

and my biggest star is babysitting her daddy.

[Baron breathes deeply]

[in German] Just for a few days.

[in German] I'll move him to the guest house. Okay?

[quiet dramatic music playing]

[both chuckling]

[in German] Give him a chance.

[in German] I think you two will hit it off.

Lady Love...

[in German] When will you return to the set?

- I love you. - [Lucyna] I love you too!

[door opens and closes]

[music stops]

[in German] Hey, buddy!

[in German] Got a new pump?

[in German] Because I can't get hard!

[mutters]

[Nina in German] You always get your money!

[man in German] Don't touch me!

[Nina in German] You know I'll pay you.

[man in German] Do I look like I have pockets?

[in German] I need that.

- [in German] Not a chance. - [scoffs]

- [in German] I need it now! - [in German] Nina, you owe me two grand.

- [in German] You'll get your money! - [in German] No!

[in German] Do you think I'd screw you over?

[in German] Fuck off!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

What the hell, scumbag?

[men grunt]

What the hell?!

[men groaning]

What the fuck?!

[chuckles] [in German] Let's go, gramps! [coughs]

[man in German] You owe me two grand!

[Nina sighs]

[in German] Thanks.

[in German] Sure.

[in German] You're welcome.

[in German] A woman needs a man.

[in German] It's natural.

- [in German] I'm going back to the set. - [in German] No.

[in German] Are you coming with me?

[in German] No, no. [chuckles]

[in German] I'm Lucyna's father.

[in German] I think I got a bit lost.

[Nina] Hmm.

Um, Stefan.

[in German] [stammers] Stefan, right?

[contemplative music playing]

Nina Star.

[in German] As in... a star?

In a nutshell, Nina and Lucyna's relationship wasn't too great.

Baron kept Nina at the company, because she'd do anything.

I mean, you know...

She was willing to do stuff other actresses refused to do.

Huh.

I didn't want to know what stuff, I wasn't interested.

Besides, that whole business...

I didn't understand Lucyna back then. All that... sex.

It was only when I met Nina...

She made me realize that...

sex is love.

I realized that my child... was looking for love.

She got so little of it at home.

[Lucyna and man moaning passionately]

[in German] It's so huge!

[moaning continues]

[in German] It's so huge!

[in German] It's so huge!

[both moaning loudly]

[in German] Wrong! All wrong!

[in German] Don't step out of the frame! You're not in the camera!

- [in German] I know! - [in German] Take your place!

[in German] Move the camera!

[in German] No!

[in German] Move the camera!

[director in German] You move that fucking mammoth!

[in German] Where are the hand-held cameras?

- [in German] I sold them. - [in German] What? Why?

[in German] Loan interest, that's why!

[in German] It makes no sense!

[in German] Don't tell me how to run a business.

[in German] Oh, yeah? I'm your wife. Your business is my business!

[in German] Better do what you do best!

- [in German] I can do more! - [in German] But you don't have to!

- [in German] Oh yeah? - [in German] Our deal is simple!

[in German] You act, I handle the money!

[in German] Okay?

[in German] No. Not okay.

[in German] Since we have to sell the cameras.

[quiet dramatic music playing]

Hm?

[in German] Don't stare at me like some moron!

[in German] We're done for today.

[in German] I've got an idea.

- [exhales deeply] - [music fades]

[in German] Continue. Something important? I've got an audition.

[in German] Go on.

[in German] Go on.

[Baron moans]

[in German] Are you sick of me?

[in German] Lucyna... You're constantly fucking others.

[in German] It's my job.

[Baron moans]

[in German] Yeah. Mine too.

[in German] But...

we can talk, my lips are free.

[chuckling]

[in German] She doesn't understand, she's Polish too.

Squeeze his balls hard.

Or you'll get your jaw locked before he comes.

[Baron] Lucyna!

Lucyna!

[smooth jazz and passionate moaning on TV]

[door shuts]

[in German] Baby, you're the most important thing to me.

[in German] I love you. Nothing else counts.

[in German] If we do business together, you'd grow a dick, I'm not a faggot.

[Lucyna in German] Those are combined takes from old movies.

[in German] A good edit and we've got a new product.

[in German] You've got a knack for business, I've got ideas.

[in German] I just want a stake in the company.

[in German] I can take your ideas without sharing the company.

[in German] And I can go to the competition.

[chuckling]

[ecstatic moaning on TV]

Wee wee weeee.

[in German] Do you want to fight me? Really?

[in German] I want to have something of my own.

[in German] You have me.

[in German] You won't make it without me.

[in German] Think about it... honey.

I've always told her: Lucyna, sweetheart...

it's better to eat with teaspoons all life long,

than with a ladle for a week. [chuckles]

During that time you had no job. You lived with your daughter, right?

Yes, because she wanted me to.

And you? [clears his throat]

Did you profit from your daughter's profession?

Is that what she says?

Does she?

I tried to get her out.

I told her there was another way to make money.

- [Lucyna] No. - [Stefan sighs]

I won't allow distribution in Poland.

- You'd make money on it! - I'm busy here, Dad.

Poland is a huge country.

I'd handle everything as the local manager.

Kasia is there. Her friends. Her friends' parents.

Your films are there anyway.

Only as pirate copies. We don't get anything out of it.

Is there anything you lack here?

Then be happy with what you've got.

Let's go.

[lively pop music playing]

[sighs]

[in German] It's your wedding anniversary.

[in German] How do you feel as the wife of the most important man in the business?

[chuckling]

[in German] He's the husband of the most important woman in the business.

[chuckling in German] A witty retort!

- [in German] Thank you. - [in German] Thank you.

[people cheering]

[in German] My bet was that you'd last two weeks, tops.

[in German] But you guys made it!

- Whooo! - [crowd cheering]

[Stefan in German] Ladies and gentlemen, silence please.

[in German] To porn!

[in German] The most family friendly business!

[in German] Happy anniversary!

[in German] Happy anniversary!

- [in German] Happy anniversary! - [in German] Jakob, music!

- [in German] Happy anniversary! - [in German] Jakob, music!

[crowd cheering]

[in German] Everyone!

Whoo!

[lively pop music playing]

[in German] Have you thought about my offer?

[in German] Not now, baby.

[in German] Not now.

Hello?

Kasia?

It's Mom, remember me?

I think you're too big for a bedroom in pink by now.

[in German] I can't stand to see you suffer.

[in German] If you want...

we can have a child.

[Lucyna in German] I already have a child.

[in German] If you wanted it, Kasia would've been here already.

[in German] I'm ashamed.

[sighs]

[moody music playing]

[in German] I'm ashamed. What would she think of me?

[in German] To her I'd just be a hooker.

[in German] Nonsense.

[in German] Kids want a bedtime story and a goodnight hug.

[Baron humming]

[Baron continues humming]

- [Lucyna in German] What are you doing? - [Baron continues humming]

[in German] Half of the company.

Lucyna Baron. [snaps fingers]

Lucyna Baron.

Voilà .

[Baron chuckles]

[contemplative music playing]

[Baron sniffs]

[kiss]

[zipper zips]

[kiss]

[music fades]

[people chattering]

[in German] You look good as a businesswoman.

[in German] Thank you. I'll need a computer.

[in German] Even I don't have one.

[in German] And an assistant.

[in German] Weren't we supposed to cut costs?

- [in German] And an office. - [in German] You want an office?

- [in German] Yes. - [in German] I've got one for you.

STORAGE

[moaning]

[in German] Close the door!

[chuckling]

[Stefan] What?

What?

Go on, have fun. Just don't confuse fucking with love.

[in German] I love her!

I love her, I'm not just fucking her!

- But she's using you! - I'm a grownup, don't lecture me.

You want to see for yourself?

End it.

- [Stefan] She loves me, don't you see? - [Lucyna] End it!

Lucyna changed. She became nasty, ruthless.

- Rumors about her started going around. - Like what?

That...

she made an actress from Poland disappear, one that Baron was fond of.

She couldn't stand competition.

There was a rivalry between them in running the business.

Besides, Baron liked them young.

Because... who doesn't, right?

[chuckles]

Is it his?

He doesn't know.

He'll fire me if he finds out.

- I'm sorry. [sniffles] - Stop crying.

Half for the abortion, half for your ticket to Poland.

You are wonderful. Thank you.

Now go.

- Are you that stupid? - Cila, please.

These donations scream: money laundering!

And the tax office will hear it.

What is this? I've never seen it before.

That's your signature.

[tense music playing]

[men chattering and laughing]

[Lucyna in German] Get out.

- [in German] Get out! - [glass shatters]

[in German] You've made me your money mule!

[in German] Some people have promised to erase my debts

- if I laundered a few million for them. - [tense music fades]

[in German] It's safe, baby.

[in German] Then why didn't you sign the papers yourself?

[in German] Do you trust me or not?

- [Lucyna] Fuck! - [glass shattering]

[in German] You wanted to be my partner?

[in German] We share everything.

[in German] Power, profit, but also the risk.

[in German] Have you got the balls for it?

[snickers]

[tense music playing]

[in German] It's all on you.

[in German] Or I'll cut yours off.

[in German] You'll just hurt yourself.

[in German] I'm going to the police.

[in German] You asshole! [groaning]

[ice pick clatters]

[Lucyna groaning]

[Baron gasps and coughs]

[panting]

[Lucyna gasps]

[in German] Let go! Let go!

[in German] Let go!

[Lucyna gasping]

[Lucyna gasps]

[Lucyna moaning]

[tense music fades]

[ominous music playing]

[gasping]

[in German] Where am I? How did I get here?

- [in German] You're in hospital. - [Lucyna] Mm?

[in German] Your husband brought you here.

- [in German] What? - [ominous music stops]

[Lucyna grunts faintly]

[in German] Please, calm down.

[high-pitched humming]

[in German] Follow my finger, please.

[in German] There is no permanent neurological damage.

[in German] Since everything is fine with me, I want to leave.

[in German] Attacking your husband and a suicide attempt

call for psychiatric observation.

[in German] He is the one who tried to kill me!

[screaming]

[in German] You'll feel better in a moment. Horst!

- [continues screaming] - [ominous music playing]

- Lucyna. My little girl. - [music fades]

How are you?

[Lucyna weakly] Huh?

Look.

See? [chuckles]

Cool, right? With a calculator.

I've always wanted to have one. It's from Nina. [chuckles]

Baron must've paid nicely to have them keep me here, still.

You've got to get me out.

I'm trying. I really am.

He's some motherfucker, stealing money from the company.

Cila won't allow it.

Cila can't do anything about it. Baron doesn't trust her anymore.

This is power of attorney for me.

I need it to stop Baron.

I won't let them hurt you.

Child, what have they done to you?

- [chuckles faintly] - [breathing deeply]

Dad's working on it.

- Dad's working... - [ethereal music playing]

Bullshit, Lucy.

He's in bed with Baron, get it?

He could've gotten you out a long time ago, as your father.

But he told the police that you're dangerous

and you should be locked up for your own good.

Sign this.

Help me.

Someone has to protect your interests.

[exhales deeply]

[humming]

I know.

Cila won't leave you.

I just looked out for her!

- By keeping her in an asylum? - They said they could help her.

Any parent would want the best care for their child, right?

And how was your deal with Baron supposed to help?

Baron. Lieutenant... [clears his throat]

[knocking on door]

[Stefan] Oh.

Honey. They finally let you go. Thank God.

[sighs]

[in German] You are well.

[in German] Would you like something to drink?

- [in German] Coffee? Tea? - Ah.

- [in German] Vodka, maybe? - [in German] No, thanks.

- [Nina in German] Have a seat. - [sighs]

[Stefan clears his throat]

There was nothing I could do.

Really. Anyway, you know Baron.

He said that if I didn't help him... he'd report me.

And I don't want to leave, Lucyna.

[chuckles]

[in German] I filed for divorce.

- [in German] We're happy. - [in German] Thanks to my money.

[in German] The license sale...

it was a good move.

[in German] Baron stuffed his pockets, I put some aside for you.

[in German] What exactly?

[in German] Still not enough?

[in German] You rolled Baron over.

[in German] The poor asshole.

- [in German] He really loved you. - [in German] Shut up, Nina.

[in German] And your daughter?

[in German] You left her for money.

[in German] You got what you wanted.

[in German] And we've got each other.

Lucyna, listen...

You're... You'll always be my daughter.

Thanks to you... I decided to stand up for myself.

I might be happy for the first time in my life.

We're together.

We'll bring Kasia over, we are family.

Lucyna...

[Lucyna] Husband and father, hand in hand.

[chuckles]

On such good terms. Actually, I should be happy.

[Cila sighs]

See that guy? The one joining them?

Do you know what your father did?

He sold him a license to distribute our films in Poland.

- Fuck! Don't! - Lucyna, be careful!

Let's go.

On further acquaintance Klaus proved to be a very confused man.

No, sure, a skilled businessman, a good husband.

I hoped they'd finally get along with Lucyna.

So you sold the Polish license behind her back.

Let me tell you something.

Good business decisions

are good for the business and its owner, in this case Lucyna.

But she, being a woman...

she just takes it very personally.

Which is crazy! She was sick with hate!

- What is this? - The beta tapes, better than money.

- You can make copies off them. - Why don't you deal with him?

You'll both lose everything.

He once told me I'm like a fire which burns everything to ash.

And my husband is always right.

[chuckles]

[intriguing music playing]

[people chattering in German]

[in German] Police?

[in German] There's a brothel at Mozartgasse 6.

[in German] The man who runs it

is here... illegally.

[in German] Do something about it.

- [receiver thudding] - [intriguing music fades]

[church bell ringing]

Give it to me. Give me.

Take me to the train station.

What do you mean?

You're giving your deposition in thirty minutes.

I am a hooker from the east,

a nutcase who wanted to kill her German husband.

They'll be happy to tear me apart.

[moody music playing]

Don't say that.

We all need you.

I need you.

[shudders]

Give me that cig.

It's not the end yet, Cila.

I'm going to get my daughter.

I have this...

small favor to ask you.

Could you give her this?

It's really important to me.

I LOVE YOU
