Mom...
Where's dad?
I don't know.
He left at night and hasn't come back.
Did he go to the hospital?
I don't know.
I have no idea.
I doubt it.
I think we should...
get used to this situation.
That it's the two of us at breakfast.
A DECENT MAN
Any thoughts?
No.
A teenager's room.
Does your teenager have such a mess?
It's similar.
I'm trying to understand why he attacked Jasiek.
Maybe they root for different teams?
I can't get through to your father.
I don't know what's going on with him.
I don't know what's going to happen.
Is he seeing someone?
I don't know.
Maybe you can ask him... what his plans are.
As his child, you have the right to know
if he wants to move out or not.
Good, good. Hold on a little longer, honey.
It's okay, I can handle it.
I'm talking to Jacek.
Okay, now... onto the wheelchair.
Okay.
Good, good.
Okay.
There's fresh coffee in the kitchen.
There we go.
His caregiver comes in half an hour.
Yeah, I should get going.
Mom...
I think it's between the two of you.
Right?
You think so?
I guess.
Do you really think that if we split up it will only affect the two of us?
You know what?
You're just like him.
Always running away in crucial moments.
What are you going to tell your wife?
I don't know.
Probably nothing.
She came to see me. In my office.
And?
You two need to talk about Arek's case,
cause it seems like you haven't.
Could we keep these things separate?
You have to tell her something.
I'll say I was...
at the hospital.
On call.
My husband used to say that.
Will I see you again?
I'm sorry.
Really, I'm sorry.
I think...
Arek will be back soon.
Where were you last night?
That's none of your business.
- I was at the hospital. - Drunk?
Do you know how many doctors go to work drunk every day?
If you have any drugs left, then by tomorrow
that shit must be gone. Got it?
Dad.
What's that?
Mom asked me to delete all files.
- From her laptop. - Why?
Did you?
I made a backup copy.
Just in case.
Does your mom know about this?
You did it... behind her back?
You think she'd be happy about it? Look at me.
I don't know. Probably not.
Then why did you do it?
Why didn't you do what she asked?
Why did you deceive her? What is it with you kids?
I don't know.
Dad...
Are you and mom splitting up?
What made you think that?
Don't think about it now.
Think only about yourself. About...
what you can change in your life, okay?
Okay.
AREK: I'M IN WARSAW
STAYING WITH A FRIEND
I'LL BE BACK TOMORROW
Read new messages.
New message from Arek.
Received today at 1:23 PM.
I'm in Warsaw, staying with a friend.
I'll be back tomorrow.
Don't call.
Listen.
I'll be in my office doing paperwork. Don't let anyone interrupt me, okay?
Of course, doctor.
Thank you.
I told you I can do the surgery!
So why the fuck did you call Paweł?!
Old Man told me to. Shit, are we doing this again?
Are you scared I'll get too far ahead?
You're fucking delusional.
That you'll lose your status.
My status? What status? Girl, I'm a nobody here.
- You're hoping to be Paweł's deputy. - No, I'm hoping to bang you.
Oh please! I was ready to do that surgery on my own!
You've been ready, but to fuck Paweł.
And you wish it was you.
He ignores you, so you're pissed.
I don't blame him. Maybe if you were prettier...
Hi.
I'll be in my office.
If you want anything, tell me now. I'm busy later.
- No. - No, I'm good.
Good morning.
- Sit down. - I don't want your coffee!
Sit.
Did mom kill herself because of you?
Was she just...
sick of you?
Were you the death of her?
Get out.
It's a shame I haven't asked you sooner.
Were you the reason she was depressed?
Get out!
Let's have a normal conversation for once!
My son got attacked at school.
Some boy... beat him to a pulp.
Is he all right?
To a pulp! Are you deaf?
Do you need money?
Fuck.
I had a friend in the police a long time ago...
Anka's brother is a policeman.
You can't remember that?
You can't remember a thing. Your meds aren't worth shit.
Do you remember that day?
Do you at least remember that day?
Which day?
Which day!
I punished him.
Like you taught me.
Just like you taught me. I made a decent man out of him.
What are you on about?
All my life I've been afraid to make decisions.
Or scared that...
I'm making the wrong decisions or...
I didn't know if I wanted to make decisions.
If I should make them.
And it's all because of that day!
But that's all over as of today.
Once and for all.
I locked him in the basement.
Just like you'd locked me.
It's been seven days.
Well?
I helped him.
Tell me you're proud of me.
That's how it started...
- with your mother. - Leave mom out of this.
You need meds...
Don't talk about mom. You don't believe me? Okay. Come on.
- Paweł. - I'll show you.
- Paweł. - Let's go.
- Paweł. - Shut up and go downstairs!
- Paweł! - Shoes.
Shoes.
Paweł...
Don't pretend. Taxi's waiting.
Come on.
Shoes!
Shoes.
Listen.
I don't have time to fight with you.
Dad!
Dad?
I know it was him.
I told him to do it.
Calm down!
Be quiet.
You can't understand it now but one day you'll thank me.
You know why?
Look at me.
Because you'll grow up to be a decent man.
Hug me, dad.
Hello?
Please send an ambulance to Grodzisk.
It's 8 Miętowa Street. Suspected cardiac arrest.
Who is it?
Someone from the hospital?
You're pissed off. Is everything okay?
Does it seem okay?
Who is it?
I don't know. Really! No clue.
So find out.
All I know is...
they fool around in the basement.
Why do you care all of a sudden?
Sorry, I won't go into that with you...
Just find out, all right?
All right.
Anything for you.
I thought it suited you that Paweł...
Even if you fuck someone on the side, you should keep up appearances.
And show a modicum of respect for the person you live with.
And you do that?
Don't I?
He's lost his mind.
Are you scared he's going to leave you?
Are you crazy?
Hi. Is Arek in?
What are you doing here?
Standing. I came to Warsaw.
There's a convention. Is that so strange?
I haven't been able to reach him for three days.
His phone is turned off.
I came over to check on him.
I'm allowed, aren't I?
I called you a few times.
I know. I was busy.
Is he here?
Right...
Come in.
Hi, Krystian. Listen.
I need to see you today.
I have to show you something.
Yes, it has to be today.
Can you meet me somewhere?
I don't know, what time's good for you?
You can turn right here, okay? And this is where you stop.
- Here? - Yes, yes, right here.
Hello?
Paweł Prus.
Yes, I called the ambulance.
I'm his son.
I see.
Yes, I understand. Thank you.
Did you take up boxing to fuck me up?
I bought you chocolate bars.
That's it?
I didn't have time to get anything warm.
Besides, you'll have dinner at home.
You're letting me go?
Yes.
Look what I brought as a farewell gift.
You can't keep track of your child, you idiot!
- Don't yell at me. - Same old story.
Nothing's changed. Same old, same old.
Don't fucking insult me in my own house.
I keep telling you:
I'll take care of him. Let him live with me.
Say hello to your other child.
Maciek, hello... I want to report Arek missing.
What fucking coffee?
He's been gone since I last saw you.
You're pathetic, you know.
Fuck off.
He's not at Janusz's either.
What happened to you?
Like, really.
Some guy donked me on the head.
Did he apologize?
No.
So catch him and lock him in the basement.
I'll scoot over.
What would your father do if he saw footage like that?
Like what?
Like the one I saw. With you and Jasiek.
And the next day he saw the guy who'd battered his son?
I didn't batter him.
If he saw the guy who'd battered his son. If he saw you.
Who didn't give a fuck.
Walking out with his pals, laughing.
He'd get pissed off.
Seriously. What would he do?
Nothing.
- Nothing? - He's a coward.
He only acted tough with mom.
Absolutely nothing?
He'd go to court or something.
That's what my wife wanted to do.
So am I going to jail?
What do you think would be best?
I don't know.
That's a difficult question.
I know, right?
It's kind of philosophical.
It's about our attitude to life.
Like, generally...
emotionally...
I think I'm on your side.
I mean, I'd do the same.
Okay.
I don't know if I'd kidnap anyone...
That takes cojones.
Nah, you just need to be fucking mental.
Yeah.
My father died today.
An hour ago.
Fucking hell.
Sorry.
I'm sorry I'm laughing, but...
it's so absurd.
I killed him.
I killed him with what I told him.
What did you tell him?
The truth.
Truth can kill.
Will you let me go?
When I was little, my mom swallowed all her pills at once.
Maybe she didn't love my father enough...
or didn't love me.
When I was little...
I'd always wander around...
In the woods, on the streets...
I didn't want to be home. I couldn't.
Father was working all the time.
He was, you know...
a decent man.
Chief of surgery.
Everyone respected him.
And...
one day my father decided to make me a decent man too.
He paid the janitor...
from his hospital to fake my kidnapping.
Am I boring you?
The guy caught me in the forest...
put me in the trunk of his car, drove me to some cabin and...
kept me locked in the basement.
That's where my father found me.
He saved me.
What a hero.
I didn't leave the house until I turned thirteen.
I studied.
I read books.
I still feel like a better man when I'm reading...
This isn't the first time he ran away.
Last time he came to my place.
All right. And when was that?
- A year ago. - Almost.
- Okay, listen... - Just a second.
Almost? Do you know the date today?
Are we going to fight about dates? Are you insane?
We don't need to fight. Just think before you speak, that's all.
That's all I want.
Excuse me.
Okay.
Who's that?
It's for me.
Will you tie me up?
That won't be necessary.
Fuck, I almost got lost on the way.
Hey.
What's this? Your new crib?
No, it belongs to a friend.
Right. Knowing my sister, she'd rather buy
a place in Spain or Thailand.
Fucking snob.
Damn, have you been smoking?
Did you invite me here to get high?
- Changes, changes... - I can tell.
Did my sister do that to you? Are you getting a divorce?
- Is this where you live now? - No.
What's up with you guys?
If you want to get high, let me know.
I'll get you decent drugs from the evidence room.
We'll party at a hotel. This here is good for Boy Scouts.
- You can do that? - Sure. Why not?
So we'll party when I'm out.
- Out of where? - Out of the slammer.
Come on.
What the hell are you on about?
Next time don't inhale, bro. You're bombed!
- What is this about? - Come in.
I've always had a feeling you're a bit of a wacko.
I'm serious.
I remember the first time Anka brought you home.
I thought: damn, look at that.
A lot going on there.
It doesn't show on the face, but inside it's a roller-coaster. But...
Now she's got you by the balls.
Listen, man.
I should take you fishing some time. With my SWAT buddies.
We go to the mountains for three days.
There's booze, there's drugs,
whores, boys-whatever you want.
Want me to go downstairs?
You got a body there or something?
Go.
Fuck, this is turning me on.
Who's this?
Arek.
What...
Are you guys fucking?
- You're a homo? - No, come on.
What the fuck, are you into minors?
Hey...
- How old are you? - Sixteen.
- He's not screwing me. - What's the deal here?
He beat up Jasiek.
Me and Anka told you about it.
Yeah, that was me.
This is Krystian, my wife's brother. He's a policeman.
What is he doing here?
I kidnapped him.
I tried to tell you earlier, but I just...
You tried...
Is this a joke?
No.
- You're shitting me. - No.
Hey.
Kid.
What's going on here?
It's true.
Paweł... I mean... Mr. Paweł kidnapped me.
It's been seven days.
How many?
I lost track of time.
What is that?
He had an accident.
A car hit him when he was running away.
- And I broke my leg. - Your ankle.
My ankle.
Fuck! Fuck me sideways.
I asked you to come so you can arrest me.
- What? - And drive Arek home.
I'll get back on my own.
Arrest me. This has to end.
Hey.
Kid... don't look at me.
Why are you... Fuck!
Why are you looking at me?
- Are you fucking insane? - Let go!
What the fuck are you doing?
It got a little out of hand.
Fucking hell.
I told my sister not to marry you.
- I told her. - Arrest me.
- You know what this is? Do you? - What?
- Ten years. - Don't be dramatic.
- Excuse me? - Don't be dramatic.
I'll get a good lawyer.
I'm being dramatic?
Fuck!
Fuck, don't hit me!
Don't hit me, okay?
Motherfucker.
Does Anka know about this?
- No. - Are you sure?
I'm sure.
She doesn't know!
Jesus fucking Christ.
I can't deal with this sober.
Fuck.
At least this is predictable.
All right.
Let's go.
- How did you even... - It was an impulse, man.
It was an impulse.
I just wanted him to apologize to Jasiek. Then it all fell like dominoes.
You should have played pick-up sticks then,
or fucking checkers instead!
I asked you: let me handle this.
I asked you.
And he just sits there untied?
I tied him up, come on. Just today...
With what?
Zip ties.
Why did you untie him?
- Go back and tie him up. - It's not necessary.
- Not necessary. - It's not necessary. Relax.
Why didn't you put a bag over his head?
A bag? Why?
So he doesn't see me, dumbass.
Why the fuck did you involve me and tell him I'm a cop?
Because I wanted you to arrest me, okay?
So why didn't you call the police?
I did!
You should've dialed 911, dumbass!
That's where you call!
I don't know.
I don't know why. I thought...
I'll tell you why.
You don't really want to be arrested.
You want a way out at my expense!
What I want is for it all to be over already.
- Want it to be over? - Yes.
Okay. Okay.
You made this mess, you deal with it.
This is Paweł Prus. I can't talk now. Please leave a message.
- Hey. - Karol.
- Yeah? - I can't find it.
No, no! I won't allow it.
- It's not an option, okay? - Stop!
- It's not an option. - Quiet or the kid will hear you.
- Anybody see you with him? - No.
No, wait.
This guy with a dog. He saw us when the car hit Arek.
Oh fuck.
- And Karol knows we're here. - Who's Karol?
My colleague. It's his house.
And he knows the kid is here?
No.
- Are you sure? - I'm sure.
I won't allow it, Krystian.
You involved me so now it's too late.
There must be another way.
There's only one.
- The best one. - Jesus.
No testimony, no questioning. No court. Nothing.
That's just a fact.
Fine. Okay.
But you do it.
Not me.
Then who?
- You. - No.
No, come on.
I was joking. Come here.
Though I think that would be fair.
A decent man handles his stuff himself.
I know a guy.
- I need a few hours. - No.
Relax.
It will cost a hundred K. You can afford it.
How much?
You don't have to pay now. I'll vouch for you.
- You'll give me the money later. - A hundred K?
You can borrow it from Anka.
Are you fucking nuts?
The price includes the clean-up.
No body. No traces. Nothing.
They can even clean up your car later.
What about the body?
I don't know...
Dissolved in acid.
This is madness, man.
- Do you have a better idea as a doctor? - You're insane.
I'm insane?
If you don't arrest me right now, I'm calling the police.
"I'm the police here."
What movie was that?
- "Pigs." Part one. - I'm serious, Krystian.
Call the police. Be my guest.
Do you want to destroy your son's life?
Go ahead.
What's he going to think?
Visiting his daddy... in jail?
His daddy...
who kidnapped a kid from his school...
instead of fucking him up like a man.
You should thank me for taking care of your family.
Because I believe...
family is the most important thing.
Are you going to need this?
I'll be fine.
What a fucking mess.
Arek! We must get out of here!
Arek!
