I don't know when I figured out

that this story had no end.

I don't know when I realized

that we led immoral lives.

I don't know when I noticed that

I couldn't go on without her.

I don't remember when I first

forgave my sister,

when I started to admire her

or started to fear her.

It surely didn't start when...

Repeat what you said!

I'm old enough

to do what I want.

And how old are you?

You know how old I am.

You've turned seventeen so

you think

you can play dirty

games with your brother...

You should be ashamed!

He's not my full brother.

Let go of me!

You're too young to be showing

yourself to anybody.

Too young, too old,

you should make up your mind...

Let go of me!

I'll show you!

I won't let this happen!

- Let go of me.

- Leave her alone.

- You shut up!

- Stop it!

So you won't leave her alone?

That's enough!

- Leave him alone!

- You stay out of it!

I'll beat that shit

out of their minds.

Stop it!

Mirek, Jana,

come back here right now!

This can't be true.

- This can't be true.

- What are you talking about?

This can't be true.

We obviously killed him.

It was your idea

to take off the rung.

I did it for you.

He beat you more than me.

Swear that you'll never tell

anyone how it happened.

- He's dead...

- Swear...

Much happiness to you two

may it last long and true

since that's the hardest to do.

It's the hardest to do...

Thank you once again

for coming tonight.

I have a favor to ask.

Don't say anything to my brother.

You know how sensitive he is.

I'll explain

everything to him later.

- Good evening.

- Hi.

We worried you wouldn't show up.

You really took your time.

I always wonder what you do

in that tower so late at night.

Could you get another chair,

please?

In case you haven't met, let me

introduce my brother Miroslav.

This is Lucie, my new colleague

at the hairdresser's.

And this is my best friend Olga.

She's been here for eight

years but you've never met.

That's because you never go out.

You're always so grumpy.

This is Mr. Josef Dubina.

- He's a new doctor in town.

- Nice to meet you.

Long live our lady of honor...

All the best to you, Jana.

How dare you kiss her like that?

But that's normal.

It's your sister's birthday.

- Who's this guy, this doctor?

- He moved here about a year ago.

- Supposedly he's very nice.

- I think he's vermin.

You mean like a fox or a skunk?

I judge people as either

verminous or harmless...

I have it easy.

I divide them into good and bad.

- That's so boring.

- Eat something, Miroslav.

He immediately offends people

he's interested in

so he doesn't lose face.

You asked me to come so I did,

and now I'm leaving.

Wait,

you wanted to meet my friends.

Is it really possible to call

all these people your friends?

Yes, it is possible.

- Let's drink to your health.

- Let's not.

Will you dance with me?

Take your coat off.

- My sister's new victim.

- What do you mean?

We are all somebody's victim.

We love to sacrifice ourselves.

Don't you?

- No, not anymore.

- That's what you think.

We always sacrifice more

than we intend to.

You are my soul,

you are my heart

You are my pleasure,

a dream so sweet

You are my world

that gives me life

I long for you, my paradise

You are the hollow where

I forever bury my sorrow.

I am home, kids!

It's time to divvy up.

Let's take out the envelopes

and empty out all the money...

Close your eyes!

Okay, Miroslav, look how much

money we have today.

I'd love to have some pork.

- How about potatoes with cheese?

- Hurray.

That's what we ate

everyday last week.

Check Thursday.

There's more money there.

Mom, I think

we should sell the piano.

No way! We still have

father's accordion.

What's up? Wait, I'm playing...

Where is your husband?

I sacrificed him

to another woman.

Olga,

you must be locked up

very well somewhere.

- I've never run into you in town.

- You have many times

but you stared at the ground

and never answered my hellos.

I see you every day. I work at

the cafe across from the church.

I don't go to cafes.

You were great. I had no idea

you could act so well.

- I'm not acting at all.

- Can I get your coat?

May I walk you home?

This is for you.

- I can give you my hat.

- That's okay.

Your head will get wet

and you'll catch cold.

Wow, you look pretty bad.

This is where I live.

Can I invite you in for coffee?

Have a seat.

Thank you.

- Do you believe in chance?

- What do you mean?

Do you believe in chance

or in destiny?

They are the same, aren't they?

Do you think that everything

is predestined?

No. If I believed that

everything that happened

in my life was predestined,

I'd rather have been born

elsewhere.

I also wish I was born

to somebody else.

Why?

I'd have liked to have had

the same father as my sister

so I'd have her personality.

I don't believe in heredity.

We are what we do.

- You sure believe in yourself.

- More than in others.

Do you think

we met by chance

or was it destiny?

Or was it something

completely different?

No, I don't think anything.

Do you take sugar?

I don't drink coffee, ever...

We don't bring guests

into the kitchen.

Josef isn't a guest.

He'll be living with us.

Excuse me?

We got married yesterday. He has

already moved his things in.

Come on...

- How could you do that?

- Just tell him you love me.

- You keep out of this!

- But...

You'd have done the same.

The first available woman

picked you up,

so you didn't even come home,

right?

- What do you mean "picked up"?

- I mean picked up.

Do you think

Olga gave in to your charm?

That'd be quite exceptional.

I asked her to do me a favor.

Is anybody here?

I can't go on without you.

You shouldn't come here so often.

It looks suspicious.

But I came to get my hair cut.

You'll be bald soon.

Let me at least give you a shave.

How are you doing, Jana?

Do you need money?

I heard that your mother...

that your mother is sick.

I'm going to write you

a check in the back.

No, don't be silly...

Okay, but be careful.

Where are you going? Wait!

Miroslav, wait for me! Wait!

Neither my sister nor I were

predestined to be successful.

We were constantly obstructed

by our own painful inability.

We accepted the fact that

we'd never achieve anything big

but we wanted to forget

what we did when we were kids.

In our desperate search for love

we kept running into each other

despite the fact

we tried to run away to others.

Thank your sister. She bought

it with her first bonus.

Come on,

you can't be making that much.

I threw in some savings, too.

- Aren't you happy?

- Yeah...

Well, play something!

And Mr. Doubrava

helped you out, huh?

Why would Mr. Doubrava do that?

He's talking nonsense.

Don't listen to him.

If you don't like it

then don't play it.

Can't you understand that

I'm actually in love?

That I don't want to be alone

when I'm old?

I'm always here for you.

Let's show those hypocrites

that we're worth something.

- You know what they think of us.

- I never really cared.

But you broke your promise

that we'd always be together.

We were kids back then.

Let's forget about it.

- You can get together with Olga.

- No.

I'm not going out with anyone

you set me up with.

You won't get rid of me

that easily.

Nobody tried to understand her.

She was a whore sleeping with

half the town at the age of 17.

No one noticed she was

desperately looking for love.

She gave up to desire

called lust.

By scarring her finest body

part she tried to get rid of it.

If she had died,

I'd have killed myself.

In 1889, Ferdinand Martinu

was appointed a tower keeper

of St. Jacob Church.

A year later the music composer

Bohuslav Martinu was born

and spent his childhood here

up in the tower.

Before that his father worked

as a shoemaker...

Hello...

Martinu never forgot

the Policka tower. That's all.

Good bye.

I'm sorry.

I should have told you

your sister asked me

to entertain you...

Entertain you say?

Well, you gave

a very professional performance.

I see that one can rely on you.

My sister really has

a very self-sacrificing friend.

I wanted to tell you at my house

but I didn't have the courage.

We began with great words

and ended with a harsh reality.

Let's cut to the truth.

You acted like a whore and

I was just a customer.

If you want we can go on

just like that.

Are you going to tell me

why you dragged me up here?

Today it's exactly one year

after our dad fell.

I thought you'd forget

about it by now.

I think about it all the time.

This is the only place

I feel good.

I watch people and things

from here and orchestrate them.

- What do you do?

- I conduct people.

I see them as notes.

- I don't understand you at all.

- You really have to concentrate.

Do you see that water wagon?

It's a piano.

And the kids over there are

a flute, an oboe and a horn.

And those bicyclists

are pizzicato.

Where did you get that,

you pizzicato?

- Can't you hear it?

- What am I supposed to hear?

Katerina Holomkova told me that

you ran away like a coward.

- She made me mad.

- How?

- She was wearing pantyhose.

- What?

- She didn't wear garters.

- Who cares?

- I do!

- You're nuts.

When you see Katerina

do you feel warm?

Where?

Sometimes I get so hot

that I can't stand it.

It drives me crazy

and I want to make love

with somebody.

I've already told you -

not with you.

Mom, he has somebody in there.

- You'll wake mom up.

- Who's in there with you?

- Katerina?

- I didn't ask you yesterday.

You're too young to ask me.

You have plenty of time

to bring girls over.

- I grew up a long time ago.

- You still act like a little boy.

And don't forget to shave

tomorrow. You're scruffy.

Tomorrow's envelope's

pretty thick!

I can't believe you enjoy

living from day to day.

It's not about how much

we spend.

It's not about money.

It's about the surprise.

Wow, it's so much money! How can

we spend it all tomorrow?

I guess

I have to buy myself a dress!

You don't need to spend it all.

You spend what's in the envelope.

Nothing more, nothing less.

I'm gonna have a beer.

- Does anyone else want one?

- I'd like a mineral water.

We're having beef tonight.

- Will you join us?

- No, I have sausages.

Damn it. What's up with this?

Someday that ladder will kill

someone. We should get a new one.

This place was one of Martinu's

greatest impressions

and played a great role in his

approach to composing music.

You paid so you were entitled

to the tour. So I did my job.

Now leave. I have to close up.

What are you doing here?

He refuses to talk to me.

I keep coming here every day.

So forget him. You look tired.

Stop by my work someday and

I'll get you back in shape.

I'm going to Prague.

Do you want to come with me?

- You said you quit.

- And I did. Bye.

Hi.

I came to ask you a favor.

Tell Josef that I had to go

to Prague to visit our sick aunt.

You know I don't talk to him.

Then write it

on a piece of paper.

Why don't you tell him?

I decided to go

at the last minute

and I don't want to go home

in case I run into him.

I have to go.

Come meet me at the train

station tomorrow, okay?

Cheers!

You're always going somewhere.

I promise I won't go anymore.

You're too young to get married.

We've discussed this

a hundred times.

I like her.

I gave her my word.

You gave me your word.

You'll regret it

until the day you die.

If you don't go to the wedding,

you'll avoid the divorce later.

You can't really be in love

with someone that ugly.

She's not ugly.

They're waiting for me.

I have to go.

You don't have to do it.

It won't lead to anything.

Don't tell me that you want

to spend your life with her.

Without me.

If you marry her,

then I'll disappear

and you'll never see me again.

You know I mean it, right?

We'll go to the train station

and get on the first train.

Have one for the road and

let's get out of here.

Man, this will be a mess.

Let's go!

Where did you learn

to dance so well?

That's my secret.

You're covered in secrets.

It's up to you

to slowly reveal them.

- Where are you from?

- From a small dead town.

What do you do there?

- I work with people's heads.

- How?

I give them a new look,

sometimes for better,

sometimes for worse.

I wish I could be in your hands.

No, you don't.

I kill them all in the end.

- Your parents let you do that?

- I killed them, too.

That's a good one!

Excuse me.

Why can't you tell me

who this relative is?

I've never heard of any aunt.

That's it.

Why are you so hostile?

I'm trying to befriend you.

I have nothing against you.

Where is the salt?

Your sister means a lot to me.

And you mean a lot to her,

so you also mean a lot to me.

Where did you put the salt?

Don't cut it too short.

Don't worry.

Do you know that we met exactly

one year ago today?

- Time flies.

- It depends.

I get very lonely in Policka.

I don't want to talk about

marriage and kids again today.

I work until midnight all month,

then you come for the weekend.

I haven't had enough sleep and

I don't feel like arguing.

If you loved me

you wouldn't get upset at all.

It does upset me. I've told

you I can't live with anyone.

I have to stay single.

If you don't like it,

then go find someone else.

What do you mean someone else?

You would really end it

just like that?

Yeah.

Okay then.

I'm sick and tired

of these discussions.

- Sick and tired, huh?

- Yeah.

- In that case I'm leaving.

- Don't make a scene.

Where would you go

this late at night?

You dumb girl...

You just care about yourself,

you coward!

You selfish old bachelor!

...and he says, "There is

a thief among you, Comrades.

How much meat was there?"

One kilo, Comrades,

actually four kilos sixty...

Wait! Let me ring the buzzer.

You're cold, huh?

- Good evening.

- Hello, deputy director.

I'm going to show this lady

something up in my office.

We're too tired to walk up.

Could you turn

the elevator on?

For the tenth time,

where is the salt?

I try to like you even though

everyone in town says that

you've ruined your sister's life.

She sacrificed herself for you.

It's not quite clear who has

sacrificed what for whom.

She did her best to replace

your mother.

You weren't even capable

of getting married.

- Will you give me the salt?

- She makes sacrifices for you.

It's because of you she refuses

to move into a new house.

She'd rather stay here with you

in this shabby place

because you supposedly don't

adjust well to new conditions.

I also make sacrifices for you.

You poor thing.

I am not a poor thing. The poor

thing is someone else here.

- A poor thing and a blockhead.

- You'd better apologize for that.

Will you give me the salt?

Here you go!

You idiot.

This is ridiculous.

- Either I go or you go.

- You'll go.

We'll see about that.

You'll leave once you find out

that you married a nymphomaniac!

You better explain

what you mean by that.

Nothing. Ask your wife

who she goes to visit.

What the names

of all those aunts are.

Today it's exactly 3 months

and 12 days since you left.

You've never been away

for so long before.

I'm exhausted from work.

It was hard not to break that

absurd promise not to visit you.

You have more and more

gray hair

and less and less hair.

That's because of you. When

will you make up your mind?

You know very well that I won't

move here without my brother.

Look,

I've been thinking about it

and I'm willing to meet him.

So I'll bring him

along some day.

Stop moving around so much.

Have a drink with me. Please.

Try to understand me.

I've been divorced twice now.

They were two-timing me.

And now it's happening again.

Is that right?

She has a lover in Prague.

Or did I misunderstand you?

Please, tell me the truth.

I'm begging you.

You have to give me some proof.

Tell me right now...

Tell me...

You gotta tell me.

She sees someone here.

- Are you sure?

- I saw her.

I saw her with a man here

after midnight. Let's go.

Be quiet.

Here you are!

Jesus, what are you doing here,

you dumb ass!

- She talked me into it.

- No way.

It was your idea.

Surely somebody's going

to believe you.

You should be

in a detention house.

You're a disgrace.

The dead must be turning over

in their graves.

We'll have the cemetery

re-consecrated. Let's go home.

In the name of Father,

Son and the Holy Spirit,

Jesus Christ's mercy,

our resurrection and life

- be always with you.

- And always with you.

God bless this place

and our belief in Him.

He is life winning over death.

Amen.

Hello...

Mommy, what's wrong?

Jesus, it's a heart attack!

I'm going to call an ambulance.

Hi, I need an ambulance to come

to the square in Policka.

My mother collapsed and I have

no idea what happened to her.

This is all that whore's fault.

Her own mother died of shame.

I'm going to tell her

what I think of her.

I'm going to tell her right now!

You're having fun and your

mother died because of you!

We don't want you living here.

Pack your stuff and get out!

God, what's wrong with you?

Leave me alone!

You should be ashamed!

You slut...

We'll sell the house and

move to Prague.

You'll find work easily, and

hopefully I will, too.

Nothing is keeping us

here anymore.

- I'm not moving anywhere.

- Haven't you had enough yet?

Can't you see how you look?

Prague is not gonna work.

We'd never find a place there.

With all that we have we can

only move to another small town

where we'd find the same

attitude and mentality.

And I'm not ashamed of anything.

- Why don't you say something?

- What should I say?

That you'll never leave me.

You'll stay with me

and won't leave me

for another woman.

Promise me that.

Will you make the same promise?

Sure I will.

Then swear that you'll never

leave me for another man.

I swear I will never leave you

for another man.

Then I swear that I'll never

leave you for another woman.

We'll give a huge funeral party

and I bet you all those local

hypocrites will come.

I'd invite you up for a coffee

but you don't drink it.

Tonight I'd make an exception.

Come on in. Take your coat off.

I left a little underdressed.

I'm not dressed for going out.

Do you often walk around

like this at night?

Is this intentional

or do you sleepwalk?

I'll take my coat off

but don't laugh at me, okay?

What's so funny?

I met him when I was sixteen.

He was ten years older and

worked at a hotel reception desk.

We married when I was 18 and

spent two great years together.

Expensive vacations, expensive

restaurants, champagne etc.

Then he was arrested for fraud.

He got 15 years. So I waited.

They let him go

after eight years.

You mean you waited

eight years for him?

I loved him so much.

But he came back

a different person.

Soon after that he divorced me

for another woman.

Then I inherited this house and

moved here to forget it all.

And why didn't you ever

get married?

Good morning.

I brought some breakfast

for the groom.

I'll stay in case he wants to

change his mind again, right?

Once is okay, he's young.

Twice would be a scandal, right?

Could you make some coffee for

me? The groom isn't up yet?

My daughter has been up now

for an hour.

She's impatient, isn't she?

Your future mother-in-law

came to warm you up

for that amazing wedding

she prepared for you, right?

Good morning.

This is our last chance

to disappear.

Get dressed.

Take the bike and

wait for me at the square.

But you have to promise that

you'll stop going to Prague.

I promise.

Come on! Hurry. Go.

- Are you telling the truth?

- I am!

- You'll stop going there.

- I will. Here, catch!

I'm allowed to get

some milk, right?

And you never wanted

to get married again?

I lost my faith.

I thought a person could love

only once in a lifetime.

Have you ever experienced

such an ultimate love?

Yes, but with the wrong person.

How could you stand living alone

all those years?

At least I have my sister.

In a way your sister

helped me a lot.

In what way?

She taught me to see

things differently.

I wouldn't have made it

without her.

I'm exhausted.

I'm turning out the light now.

- Are you going anywhere?

- I'm moving out.

- Because of yesterday?

- That, too.

I'm very sorry. I was drunk.

I'm not going to live

under these conditions.

Look, I'm not interested. Solve

your problems with my sister.

Her train arrives at 11:30 and

she'll be glad to see you.

- What are you doing here?

- I'm picking you up. Let's go.

How's your aunt?

She got sick

and sent a confusing telegram

asking me to come

because she felt lonely.

What's wrong with her?

- She has cancer.

- That's terrible.

- What kind?

- Knee cancer.

- Oh really, which knee?

- The right.

But it can spread.

- To the left knee?

- No, to the whole leg.

Knee cancer doesn't exist.

I'm a doctor, you know.

Next time make up a better lie.

Well, she is probably confused.

What's wrong with you?

I'm asking the questions.

How many times did you get laid?

Did you like it more than

with me? Did you feel guilty?

Probably not, huh?

Whores never feel guilty.

- What are you talking about?

- Why did you do it?

So soon after our wedding?

I'm not enough for you?

Calm down and tell me how you

came up with such a stupid idea?

- Your brother gave you away!

- And you believe him?

Are you trying to tell me

that it's not true?

My brother is jealous

and used the first opportunity

he had to get rid of you.

I don't understand.

If you loved me

you'd believe me.

I can't be with you

if you don't trust me.

- Come on...

- Let's end it.

Forgive me.

It's all that bastard's fault!

I don't ever want to see him

here again.

Don't say such things. You know

he can't live without me.

You're wrong.

He moved out this morning.

- Where to?

- I could care less.

Do you miss her?

Why don't you go and see her?

I don't mind.

You can't hide from her forever.

What are you scared of?

That you won't come back?

I'd send you there right now.

I have to marry you.

- You have to?

- I want to marry you.

Well, why don't you?

Because I'm afraid

I'd run away again.

I'll chain you to my wrist and

let go of you at the church.

He called for his servants

Miroslav and Katerina

to serve one another with love.

They will join in one

and prove their love to us all.

Miroslav and Katerina,

you are here to get married.

I ask you now

before the Church and God,

is your decision

true in your heart and soul?

Yes.

No.

I don't know why I decided

to write our story.

Maybe I looked for a way to get

rid of it and forget it all.

I wonder whether things would

be different

if our mother were alive.

Before her death everything was

normal. My love was infantile.

She kept refusing me.

We took revenge on each other.

But after our mother died we

were left completely on our own.

May your mother rest in peace.

I really respected her.

It's a great tragedy

but she had a weak heart

and it was hot...

We all go one day.

We won't keep you.

You still have to do the dishes.

What are we going to do?

Excuse me.

You know where to find us

in case you need something.

That's very nice of you.

Good night.

Good night.

Ready.

How do you like it?

You look great.

You're the most beautiful bride

I've ever seen.

Who are you meeting?

- One of my girl friends.

- I see.

This bra looks stupid.

Can you help me unzip my dress?

What's your friend's name?

Which one of your

many friends is it?

That's none of your business.

I have a right to know.

Who gave you that right?

I can't stand it when you go out

with some strange man.

And am I supposed to put up with

your marriage attempts?

You act like a teenager.

- Like a teenager?

- Yeah.

You didn't treat me

like a teenager last night.

You dumb ass,

what have you done?

You stupid idiot!

What's so funny?

I'll shave your head off!

I will be with you through

fortune and pain forever.

So help me God. Amen.

So help me God. Amen.

I worried that my sister would

stop me from marrying again.

But at the same time I secretly

prayed that she'd be here

and experience

her downfall in full.

And I wasn't wrong...

I promise I will keep my love,

respect and devotion to you.

- I promise...

- that I will keep my love...

I promise that

I will keep my love,

- respect...

- respect and devotion to you...

- I will never leave you...

- I will never leave you...

and bear with you all good and

bad until death do us part.

and bear with you all good and

bad until death do us part.

So help me God. Amen.

So help me God. Amen.

You came to testify your love,

respect and devotion.

I ask you before

the Church and God:

Do you commit to it

for your entire life?

I do.

I do.

I do.

Before the Church, God

and the entire assembly here

I declare your marriage

official.

What God joined,

man can't break apart.

The wedding meant a new

beginning of our suffering.

For the first time in a while

I finally felt really happy.

I'm sure that

my sister felt the same.

Hi.

I came to tell you

that I miss you.

What do you want from me?

- I want you to come back.

- I can't.

Why not?

I'm sure you've noticed

that I got married.

- But I need you.

- But I need Olga.

What if we tried living

like normal people?

You have your husband

and I have my wife.

We love our partners. In time

we'll start to visit each other.

I don't want

to share you with anybody.

You don't know how I've suffered

since you've been with her.

I've been hoping that

you'd get tired of it.

I can't go on like this anymore.

- I can't live without you.

- Don't touch me.

If you don't come back

I'll tell Olga everything.

- Everything about us.

- And I'll tell Josef.

- He won't believe you.

- I wouldn't be so sure.

I'll tell her that

you killed our father.

Excuse me.

I'm not going

to negotiate with you.

If you don't leave

my brother immediately,

I'll tell him every single

detail about our trips to Prague.

How much fun we had. Or has Mrs.

Vancurova already forgotten?

We promised each other that we

wouldn't tell anybody about it.

It seems that some people don't

keep their promises, huh?

If you don't let him go, I'll

show him the pictures we took.

- He'll be disgusted with you.

- But you're in them, too.

But he'll forgive me.

How much do you think one

person can forgive the other?

It depends on the circumstances.

I wonder if you could forgive me

for everything I've done?

I don't know.

For example,

would you forgive me

if I killed somebody?

And would you forgive me?

- I don't want to forgive anymore.

- Why not?

I couldn't stand

being get disappointed in you.

You're my angel.

You haven't answered

my question yet.

If you found out that

your husband was a murderer,

could you still love him?

Could you still live with him?

YES

No, probably not.

Probably not or not at all?

Not at all.

- Definitely?

- Definitely.

I expected a different answer

from my wife.

I guess I was wrong.

I'm sorry.

Good bye.

He has his mother's nose, right?

- Hi. Are you done working?

- Hi. Hello.

We have roasted pork

for dinner and a surprise.

I'll just get some air.

- I'll be home by seven.

- Okay.

Josef and I decided to move

to a house in Pardubice.

You'll have a whole floor

for yourself there.

And the local museum

needs a guide.

Let's make a toast. Go down and

get a bottle of champagne.

I feel trapped in here.

We'll start a new life.

Where is the champagne?

On the right, by the potatoes.

Go get the door.

What are you saying?

You're blind as well as deaf.

It's on the right,

by the potatoes.

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

You must be her brother.

Nice to meet you.

My name is Ludvik Kucera.

I came to see your sister.

Are you sure there

is some champagne here?

- What are you doing here?

- I came to...

- I told you it was over.

- I changed my mind.

I accept your terms. You and

your brother can move in with me.

What's going on? Let me out!

It's stuck.

The person down there is my

husband and if he sees you here,

he will kill me.

Miroslav, show him out, please.

- Are you married?

- Yes.

- Go away.

- What's going on?

- When did you get married?

- Leave, for god's sake.

What are you saying?

Jana...

Come on,

I'll walk you to the train.

How do you feel?

Terrible.

I almost escaped and

kept the child.

You should have.

- It would have been retarded.

- Maybe not.

Anyway, it's over between us.

At least that part of it.

It can't go on.

It's impossible.

I've made way for other men my

entire life but it will change.

I'll show my sister how far

I'll go to have her for myself.

She's waited for some proof but

I couldn't give it to her.

Doctor...

Jana!

Is anybody here?

Good evening.

I thought I was going

to work all night.

- Where is Jana?

- She hasn't come yet.

She's out partying again.

I'm going to bed. I'm exhausted.

Do you want

me to turn off the light?

Good night.

I came to apologize.

You didn't have to.

You look tired.

Do you want some coffee?

You know I don't drink coffee.

Good bye.

Mrs. Vancurova, has your

husband come to work yet?

- Why?

- They found his sister. Dead.

Your husband killed her and

hid her in the basement.

- What are you talking about?

- So you haven't seen him today?

- What happened?

- She was found in a closet.

- What?

- Vancura killed her.

We've already called the police.

They should be here any minute.
