ALTERNATES
One life's not enough to handle
the abundance of the burden...
Episode IV
TYPICAL LOGIC
Who'll replace you for a while?
Lessen daily problems file?
A trustworthy alternate,
him and you, hand in hand.
World's spinning, time's flowing,
life's passing.
And the voice that keeps repeating:
Radio Taxi, please hold on.
We shall wait, we'll hang on,
we shall get to where we're told.
Frankly speaking,
everything's got its price.
If you're not equal to a task,
your alternate's the one to ask.
The right man that takes things easy
though spare part's often missing.
Dear faithful alternate's like
a spare wheel when you need it.
We know well those bends and junctions
we respect our memories.
Radio Taxi, hold on
We will do with understanding
being also understood.
Our life's being reeled,
spinning like fast like a car's wheel.
Speed it up and scud along
your alternate'll keep the pace.
Spinning round the serpentines,
moving on or underground.
Radio Taxi please hold on.
We shall wait.
There has to be something... There
has to be something round the bend.
A pawn on B5.
Check.
Don't shout like that.
I'm not blind.
You can't get in.
Quarantine.
You can get infected.
I don't have to obey this.
Besides, I don't like
such insinuations.
What're you doing?
I was winning this game.
I know what I'm doing.
And don't tell me about the game.
Jesus, look at your nails.
You'll never get better.
It's because you don't see things
in their right perspective.
You see everything exaggerated.
You should see it in a wider angle.
Unfortunately you represent
a typically male way of thinking.
Going to this bitch you see a puddle.
Instead of keeping away from it
you step right into the middle of
the puddle and you fall into a drain.
I know that was an accident.
But that's not all. They use an
infected needle to give you an
injection only because you didn't
bother to tell them who you were.
What's more you catch pneumonia 'cause
you prefer a bed in the corridor.
If I had taken you home, all this
wouldn't have happened.
You never listen to me.
You have your own male logic.
I'm furious when I think about all your
friends who're after your job
which you got thanks to me anyway.
You cut my finger.
Because you're moving and because
you're not listening to me. As usual.
Bye, Ciapulek.
I'll come tomorrow.
She'll never give up.
It's out of question.
A quarantine.
You can use the telephone.
So dial the number.
Michalik.
This is Biernacka speaking.
I'd like to give you best regards
on behalf of my Personnel Dept.
You can't do it personally.
Medicine doesn't
allow such exceptions.
It's jaundice.
I had it when I was a child.
I'd rather do it personally
as there's something I can't say
over the phone.
Unfortunately, there're no exceptions.
You think in a typically female way.
You've got your target which you're
trying to reach. Like a blinded horse.
You should have a wider perspective.
Thanks for your being helpful.
Good bye.
But why?
Frankly speaking she's OK.
But she wants to set me
on one of the directors.
he plays dirty tricks on her as well.
But I pretend I don't notice anything.
In this way the equilibrium
is maintained.
That's a basic skill.
They don't teach
this in any school.
There's a man from the Taxi corporation
waiting for you.
He says he had an appointment with you.
Send him in.
Speak shortly. I haven't much time
so don't waste it.
We... that means our Taxi corporation
sent one of our employees to you.
He was to be sent back to us.
In the meantime, however, he was
transferred to buses
and we... that means our corporation
made some commitments
concerning him.
I must say that you perceive things
in a way that is typical for men.
That is in a very narrow perspective.
Majewski has the driving license
that is necessary for driving buses.
A driver with such
license is invaluable
for the Local Transport Company.
You don't need such skills
for driving a taxi.
We have lots of candidates
for this job.
We must think of what is good for
the whole community
and not mind our own
business only.
Thank you.
A driving license, certificate from
the previous employer, references,
health certificate,
the "know your town" test,
some psychological test for drivers
certificate of no criminal record
permanent address in Warsaw.
Haven't you got anything else?
That's all I was told to bring.
You see, it's a job for a man.
For me the difference between
the sexes matters a lot.
The times when that was neglected
belong to the past.
A taxi driver must be prepared to face
blustering or drunk or rude passengers.
For an attractive woman like you,
it may be dangerous.
And vice versa.
Sometimes you have to take harlots.
Besides, it's the driver's duty
to carry the passengers' luggage.
Working for us is a public service.
A driver may be told to go to Stettin,
or even somewhere further, at any
time of the day.
Neither he nor his kids can afford
to get ill
as in such case his alternate will have
to take over the whole burden.
And so on.
I'm single, strong and healthy.
I'm used to carrying heavy things.
Last week, in my previous job,
I carried 50 wheels at a time.
Besides, I've never been on
a doctor's leave.
I also have some experience in dealing
with drunks.
You have a typically female
way of thinking.
That means very selective way
of thinking.
You should have a wider perspective.
You're respected employee in your
co-operative.
They put a lot of effort in training
you and we have no right
to deprive them of such worker.
Go to the Local Transport Company.
They need people with
your qualifications.
We have to remember about the interest
of the whole community.
You should've said you didn't have
any vacancies.
All this ideology was unnecessary.
Have a right perspective.
I won't cry. And this is what
you'd like to see.
It's not surprising.
Mroczkowski goes bananas
when he gets drunk.
He was harassing our kid.
You were right.
But let by-gones be by-gones.
Will you have a drink?
No, thank you. I'm driving.
How did Marian do at the exam?
He failed everything.
He didn't answer any of the questions
about the construction or regulations.
He was so nervous after the drive
that his hands were shaking like this.
If he hadn't taken the pills, he'd have
passed the drive.
Kaska told me to be relaxed.
So a friend of mine gave me something
but he overdosed a bit.
You fell asleep behind the wheel.
Who do you take it after?
When I look at you two, you're so alike
that it's hard to tell the difference.
Like Mroczkowski.
Hair and faces.
Miss Kasia, we'll forget all about
the incident.
You'll even get some bonus, but you
have to pass this exam for my son.
- What do you mean?
- You'll take his documents,
here's his ID,
and the health certificate. And you'll
go to the exam instead of him.
For you such an exam is really nothing.
See, you were nagging him
to have his hair cut off.
What about the moustache?
We gave you drawings and sketches.
We start shooting tomorrow morning.
There were to be two shafts, not one.
Besides, there were no such wheels
in Jagiello's times.
We haven't got other wheels. Anyway, we
had enough problems with booking them.
A few people had to think how to do it.
The invoice will be for a pick up cart.
The director's going to kill me.
Why don't you think of something?
They must have spokes. They can be from
a seeder or whatever you can find.
It's easy to say. There'll be no problem
with another shaft, but the wheels...
One good turn deserves another.
Shooting films you must have different
props. Like... false moustache.
- What moustache do you mean?
- Well, a moustache...
But what moustache?
There're different kinds of moustache.
Hitler had a very thin moustache.
We need something different.
You see, we've got an amateur theatre
and we're working on a performance.
- It'll be called "Courage".
- I see.
I'm coming for the coach tomorrow.
I'll bring you some moustache.
Mr Mroczkowski, how many wheels
has a seeder?
- Two.
- What a pity.
We need two seeders for tomorrow.
Get them from those who bought
our cars recently.
It's not for tomorrow but for
yesterday. Is that clear?
- Two, I mean, four wheels.
- Yes.
Do you remember what w white line
on a red circle means?
- No entry.
- I hope I won't forget.
No entry.
Marian Koniuszko.
Everything went very well.
Everything would've been fine if half
of the moustache hadn't fallen off.
Then they told me to have some more
medical check outs.
And one of the guys recalled Marian
taking the exam 2 weeks before.
Marian failed in a grand style so
he remembered it.
They started looking for the records
and then I fled away.
You needn't have been so smart.
Typically female logic.
Don't interrupt.
What should we do now?
The worst part of it is that they
have Marian's documents.
If they start checking,
they'll find you.
And when they come here,
they're bound to meet me.
It all stinks.
We have to report that Marian lost
all his documents a week ago.
Someone must've used them
but it's not your fault.
Who'd use stolen papers to get
a driving license?
Everyone who steals cars.
There're lots of them in Warsaw.
That would make sense.
But what about me?
They mustn't see her here.
She may change the hairstyle
and the job.
And we'll give you
excellent references.
Well.
It'll be hard for me to leave
our co-operative.
A very disciplined employee,
has got lots of good points.
Socially very active, especially
in all kinds of joint actions.
I want to have it on my desk
in 5 minutes. It's very urgent.
Why're you in such a hurry?
I'm getting married
and we're moving to Wroclaw.
Nothing can be seen.
Is it the third month?
Don't put any name, will you?
I'll change my maiden name and
my fiancee should change his as well.
His present name sounds foreign.
I can't leave out the name.
I've got a farewell present for you.
But you'll give it to the boss
to sign it.
- I certainly will.
- All right.
A hen.
Did you hear, Mum?
I read about a girl from Silesia.
She was an engineer.
They wouldn't give her a job
in production.
So she worked there for ten years
dressed up as a man.
- Then she was appointed director.
- I've heard about it.
We discussed it while
queuing for toilet paper.
All the women agreed
that she was crazy.
For all this time no man took
any interest in her.
Besides, she must've become very rude.
You don't even know how rude men are.
When they're in their own company
they're worse than women.
Do you want to take her side?
No, I've read about it.
I'm only saying it.
I won't kill.
It's job for a man.
You've got very good references.
I must congratulate you.
But you see, at the moment
we're facing some problems.
We cannot employ any new people.
What can you see through the window?
10 cars that cannot be driven
because the tires are worn out.
According to the traffic police
the breaking distance of a vehicle
with such tires breaks Guinness records
by about 80 per cent. The factory
manufacturing tires promised
us a delivery in the fourth quarter.
So you can come again in,
let's say, December.
I could arrange the delivery of
an unlimited number of tires.
- Officially?
- Absolutely. You'll get a receipt.
My co-operative makes horse carts that
have the same tires as Fiat.
Do you expect me to drive
my passengers in carts?
Let me finish. The wheels are
also the same as in Fiat.
A cart costs 32 thousand.
That means 8 thousand for each wheel.
You won't get it cheaper anywhere.
But what shall I do with
the rest of the cart?
Book them to the loses.
They're made of very good wood.
You could use it for
building a summer house.
- Everybody does that.
- But will they sell me 10 carts?
May I speak to the Chairman?
Who's speaking?
Yes, I recognize your voice.
What?
10?
You cost me a lot.
Thank you.
Tell Lukasik I'm glad he finally
got the right perspective.
We should recruit more people like you.
Young, strong and healthy men.
Now, get to work.
Send Zydkiewicz to me.
So you say Biernacka spoke well of me?
Be careful, she might've
taken fancy to you.
I'd like you to meet
your new alternate.
He's new but he's already proved
to be a good recruit.
Hi!
Hello.
Haven't we met before?
No, we haven't.
I'm Marian Koniuszko.
Jacek Zydkiewicz.
Come here.
Takes us to Puszczyka street.
We'll put all the bones
into the mortar
and grind them into powder.
You'll strangle me.
I will, I'll squash you,
I'll eat you up.
You promised me a pink bath.
I'll bathe you myself. And I'll
drown you in the bath.
Your doggie is cruel
and likes white meat.
We'll be in my digs in a while.
I'll bite your neck there.
My heart is solid like a bell.
I don't worry about it.
Here we are.
Wake up vampire.
- What is it?
- Let's get out.
- Let's get out.
- You owe me 270 zlotys.
- How much?
- 270.
Make it 500. It'll be easier.
Hurry up.
20.
Here it is.
It's only 200.
All right. That'll do.
Oh, no. I promised you more.
I've got the money upstairs.
Let's go there and get the money.
There's some party going on here.
This way.
After you.
Do come in.
Where does my darling keep the money?
If you don't need me anymore
I can go with the taxi driver.
Just a second.
You see what the situation is.
Take this watch.
You know where I live so you'll
find me.
It's a very good watch.
A Swiss one.
Take the watch.
All right.
Good night.
Now, my vampire will wait for me while
I'm having the bath.
I'll get you in the bath.
What time am I to come
tomorrow morning?
Morning? Come about eight.
Where is the bathroom?
Straight on, then straight
and straight on again.
Barrister Kilewicz.
Mroczkowski speaking.
Are you crazy? Do you
know what time it is?
- I didn't a look at the watch.
- Half past eight.
You must've got drunk.
I was reading a book all night
and I have something to ask you about.
Is it private or business? If it's
business, call me at the office.
It's private. I was reading
a detective story.
The man in the book gets drunk and
loses control of everything.
In the morning he wakes up and finds
a dead body in the bath.
He's married and it gets very
complicated.
bring me the book. I'll read it
and then we'll talk about it.
It's not a good book but I'd like
to know what sentence he'd get
if they caught him.
- Didn't they catch him?
- They did.
Didn't they write how much he got?
They say that he was caught but
they don't say how much he got.
He didn't remember anything.
It'll be circumstantial.
I think he must've got about 20 years.
How many did you say?
About 20.
20 years for getting drunk?
It proves against him.
Thanks a lot.
Good night.
Just a minute.
We'll go to my work.
I'll pay you there.
What time is it?
- Have a look yourself.
- Thank you.
A water pipe broke.
But it's OK now.
It was for yesterday.
I've got some request to you, sir.
Something strange happened
to me yesterday.
- Did you get drunk?
- Not only.
It's that... I'd like to borrow
some money.
- How much?
- About 20 thousand?
I'll give it back as soon as I have.
Thank you very much.
- The Victoria Hotel?
- Quite the contrary.
Thanks again.
Like kids.
That's all for the moment.
Now we'll go to my place.
I love you more than my own
life so what is it?
I trust you but why did we come here?
Nobody'll disturb us here.
We'll be alone for a while.
You asked for it, Skoczylas.
Thinking about obscenities
distracts you
so much you can't even hold a hammer.
I know where to look for you.
Just to the lift.
Put it there.
Thank you very much.
Now I can manage myself.
Enough?
Maybe you could help me to put it
into the lift.
Damn.
We won't make it.
- You know what?
- If we tried this way?
Not so hard.
Let's try it like this.
Let's go this way...
I'll pay 100 for each floor.
Let's go up the stairs,
it's not so heavy.
To the tenth floor?
You think you're smart.
To the tenth. I'm not drunk
and I know where I live.
I'll take it.
Let's go.
Mind the wall.
Good morning.
Heavy furniture.
If there're two to carry something
they both should carry it.
Together.
Are you counting the floors?
This one's the seventh.
I think you'll be paid for each step.
I help you and I won't charge
you anything.
Thanks a lot.
I can manage myself.
Thank you.
Bozena!
You were supposed to be back tomorrow.
What happened?
A nice welcome from a husband.
Nothing happened.
I couldn't get a ticket for the
sleeping car for tomorrow so
I came back today.
At least you had some sleep.
I didn't. Some man was snoring even
louder than you do it.
- I didn't even close my eyes.
- What man?
You don't choose seats
in the second class.
Listen.
Take this money.
Thank you.
Now, listen to me.
Go to the hairdresser.
Look at yourself.
- You've got to have your hair done.
- My hair is done.
So go to have your fingernails done.
Or whatever needs to be done.
I'll wait.
I've got a surprise for you.
- What're you carrying?
- Wait.
This is the surprise.
All right, I'll only leave
the bags at home.
Leave them.
We'll carry them. It's a job for men.
Please, go now.
Aren't you hiding something from me?
Come on, I won't spill the beans.
I forgive everybody.
Don't try to save my life.
My God! What's going on here?
Zdzich, come here quickly.
Hurry up.
Come inside.
This witch from the upstairs is
flooding my flat for the fourth time.
Look.
Give it to me.
You should have some
rest after the journey.
I'll take the shoes.
I'll do it. It's a job for a woman.
I'll pour it into the bath.
Let's go upstairs.
You'll be the witness.
I won't make a good witness.
Besides, I have no time.
It's your civil duty.
Let's go.
Come with me.
Did you see that?
I'll go to the housekeeper and tell him
to turn off the tap downstairs.
The whole ceiling is swamped.
It'll get dry by the time she's back.
We have to call the police.
You won't call the police when
you see the neighbor?s flat.
The police will not come
because of the flooded flat.
Come with me, will you?
Police? I'd like to report that
a murder has been committed.
7 Puszczyka Street, Flat number 97.
The body hasn't been secured but
there's some obvious evidence.
I gave them such crap that
they'll be here in no time.
- I'm off then.
- Wait.
Let's knock the door down.
Take it easy.
Have you got the keys to your flat?
I've lost mine somewhere.
But I've got mine.
All the keys here are identical.
There was once an inventor who came up
with such an idea.
The pipe broke.
- We have to check everywhere.
- No, let's get out of here.
Didn't I tell you?
Here, in the bathroom.
What's going on there?
You wiped off the fingerprints.
So was it to flood my ceiling
for another hour?
She won't pay me a penny now.
Can you identify the body?
Oh, no. Not that.
But I can say it's Miss Bokiewicz, RIP,
who used to live in flat number 97.
Your friends tights.
She must've been in great hurry.
Be quiet.
What do you mean?
Just as I left, she ran after me
and told me to take her back
to the restaurant.
- She was shaking like this.
- Be quiet.
- Did she say anything?
- Better not to repeat it.
Here you are.
What did she say?
She said that you were a vampire.
You know that a distressed woman
may say anything.
Why didn't you tell me about it?
If I wanted to repeat what
I hear in my car
the number of divorces would
go up by 50%.
The wallpaper is the same as ours.
And the furniture.
All flats were furnished in exactly
the same way in those days.
Even the saucepans were the same.
Someone made a lot of money on this.
There're 2 thousand flats in our estate
so you can imagine how much it was.
I'm positive it was a heart attack.
You needn't have called us.
We respond to every false alarm and
then there's no one
to pay for the petrol.
And who will pay for my ceiling?
Could I see the surprise?
- What's in it?
- What surprise?
What is it?
There should be someone
to remove such rubbish.
Let's go home.
There seems to be no housekeeper here.
To leave such boxes in front of
the neighbours' flats.
It's disgraceful.
- Damn.
- All right?
- Thank you.
- And?
My wife will have more
time to look around.
- Did she change her way of thinking?
- In a way.
She's got jaundice.
One life's not enough to handle
the abundance of the burden...

I'm single, strong and healthy.
I'm used to carrying heavy things.
Last week, in my previous job,
I carried 50 wheels at a time.
Besides, I've never been on
a doctor's leave.
I also have some experience in dealing
with drunks.
You have a typically female
way of thinking.
That means very selective way
of thinking.
You should have a wider perspective.
You're respected employee in your
co-operative.
They put a lot of effort in training
you and we have no right
to deprive them of such worker.
Go to the Local Transport Company.
They need people with
your qualifications.
We have to remember about the interest
of the whole community.
You should've said you didn't have
any vacancies.
All this ideology was unnecessary.
Have a right perspective.
I won't cry. And this is what
you'd like to see.
It's not surprising.
Mroczkowski goes bananas
when he gets drunk.
He was harassing our kid.
You were right.
But let by-gones be by-gones.
Will you have a drink?
No, thank you. I'm driving.
How did Marian do at the exam?
He failed everything.
He didn't answer any of the questions
about the construction or regulations.
He was so nervous after the drive
that his hands were shaking like this.
If he hadn't taken the pills, he'd have
passed the drive.
Kaska told me to be relaxed.
So a friend of mine gave me something
but he overdosed a bit.
You fell asleep behind the wheel.
Who do you take it after?
When I look at you two, you're so alike
that it's hard to tell the difference.
Like Mroczkowski.
Hair and faces.
Miss Kasia, we'll forget all about
the incident.
You'll even get some bonus, but you
have to pass this exam for my son.
- What do you mean?
- You'll take his documents,
here's his ID,
and the health certificate. And you'll
go to the exam instead of him.
For you such an exam is really nothing.
See, you were nagging him
to have his hair cut off.
What about the moustache?
We gave you drawings and sketches.
We start shooting tomorrow morning.
There were to be two shafts, not one.
Besides, there were no such wheels
in Jagiello's times.
We haven't got other wheels. Anyway, we
had enough problems with booking them.
A few people had to think how to do it.
The invoice will be for a pick up cart.
The director's going to kill me.
Why don't you think of something?
They must have spokes. They can be from
a seeder or whatever you can find.
It's easy to say. There'll be no problem
with another shaft, but the wheels...
One good turn deserves another.
Shooting films you must have different
props. Like... false moustache.
- What moustache do you mean?
- Well, a moustache...
But what moustache?
There're different kinds of moustache.
Hitler had a very thin moustache.
We need something different.
You see, we've got an amateur theatre
and we're working on a performance.
- It'll be called "Courage".
- I see.
I'm coming for the coach tomorrow.
I'll bring you some moustache.
Mr Mroczkowski, how many wheels
has a seeder?
- Two.
- What a pity.
We need two seeders for tomorrow.
Get them from those who bought
our cars recently.
It's not for tomorrow but for
yesterday. Is that clear?
- Two, I mean, four wheels.
- Yes.
Do you remember what w white line
on a red circle means?
- No entry.
- I hope I won't forget.
No entry.
Marian Koniuszko.
Everything went very well.
Everything would've been fine if half
of the moustache hadn't fallen off.
Then they told me to have some more
medical check outs.
And one of the guys recalled Marian
taking the exam 2 weeks before.
Marian failed in a grand style so
he remembered it.
They started looking for the records
and then I fled away.
You needn't have been so smart.
Typically female logic.
Don't interrupt.
What should we do now?
The worst part of it is that they
have Marian's documents.
If they start checking,
they'll find you.
And when they come here,
they're bound to meet me.
It all stinks.
We have to report that Marian lost
all his documents a week ago.
Someone must've used them
but it's not your fault.
Who'd use stolen papers to get
a driving license?
Everyone who steals cars.
There're lots of them in Warsaw.
That would make sense.
But what about me?
They mustn't see her here.
She may change the hairstyle
and the job.
And we'll give you
excellent references.
Well.
It'll be hard for me to leave
our co-operative.
A very disciplined employee,
has got lots of good points.
Socially very active, especially
in all kinds of joint actions.
I want to have it on my desk
in 5 minutes. It's very urgent.
Why're you in such a hurry?
I'm getting married
and we're moving to Wroclaw.
Nothing can be seen.
Is it the third month?
Don't put any name, will you?
I'll change my maiden name and
my fiancee should change his as well.
His present name sounds foreign.
I can't leave out the name.
I've got a farewell present for you.
But you'll give it to the boss
to sign it.
- I certainly will.
- All right.
A hen.
Did you hear, Mum?
I read about a girl from Silesia.
She was an engineer.
They wouldn't give her a job
in production.
So she worked there for ten years
dressed up as a man.
- Then she was appointed director.
- I've heard about it.
We discussed it while
queuing for toilet paper.
All the women agreed
that she was crazy.
For all this time no man took
any interest in her.
Besides, she must've become very rude.
You don't even know how rude men are.
When they're in their own company
they're worse than women.
Do you want to take her side?
No, I've read about it.
I'm only saying it.
I won't kill.
It's job for a man.
You've got very good references.
I must congratulate you.
But you see, at the moment
we're facing some problems.
We cannot employ any new people.
What can you see through the window?
10 cars that cannot be driven
because the tires are worn out.
According to the traffic police
the breaking distance of a vehicle
with such tires breaks Guinness records
by about 80 per cent. The factory
manufacturing tires promised
us a delivery in the fourth quarter.
So you can come again in,
let's say, December.
I could arrange the delivery of
an unlimited number of tires.
- Officially?
- Absolutely. You'll get a receipt.
My co-operative makes horse carts that
have the same tires as Fiat.
Do you expect me to drive
my passengers in carts?
Let me finish. The wheels are
also the same as in Fiat.
A cart costs 32 thousand.
That means 8 thousand for each wheel.
You won't get it cheaper anywhere.
But what shall I do with
the rest of the cart?
Book them to the loses.
They're made of very good wood.
You could use it for
building a summer house.
- Everybody does that.
- But will they sell me 10 carts?
May I speak to the Chairman?
Who's speaking?
Yes, I recognize your voice.
What?
10?
You cost me a lot.
Thank you.
Tell Lukasik I'm glad he finally
got the right perspective.
We should recruit more people like you.
Young, strong and healthy men.
Now, get to work.
Send Zydkiewicz to me.
So you say Biernacka spoke well of me?
Be careful, she might've
taken fancy to you.
I'd like you to meet
your new alternate.
He's new but he's already proved
to be a good recruit.
Hi!
Hello.
Haven't we met before?
No, we haven't.
I'm Marian Koniuszko.
Jacek Zydkiewicz.
Come here.
Takes us to Puszczyka street.
We'll put all the bones
into the mortar
and grind them into powder.
You'll strangle me.
I will, I'll squash you,
I'll eat you up.
You promised me a pink bath.
I'll bathe you myself. And I'll
drown you in the bath.
Your doggie is cruel
and likes white meat.
We'll be in my digs in a while.
I'll bite your neck there.
My heart is solid like a bell.
I don't worry about it.
Here we are.
Wake up vampire.
- What is it?
- Let's get out.
- Let's get out.
- You owe me 270 zlotys.
- How much?
- 270.
Make it 500. It'll be easier.
Hurry up.
20.
Here it is.
It's only 200.
All right. That'll do.
Oh, no. I promised you more.
I've got the money upstairs.
Let's go there and get the money.
There's some party going on here.
This way.
After you.
Do come in.
Where does my darling keep the money?
If you don't need me anymore
I can go with the taxi driver.
Just a second.
You see what the situation is.
Take this watch.
You know where I live so you'll
find me.
It's a very good watch.
A Swiss one.
Take the watch.
All right.
Good night.
Now, my vampire will wait for me while
I'm having the bath.
I'll get you in the bath.
What time am I to come
tomorrow morning?
Morning? Come about eight.
Where is the bathroom?
Straight on, then straight
and straight on again.
Barrister Kilewicz.
Mroczkowski speaking.
Are you crazy? Do you
know what time it is?
- I didn't a look at the watch.
- Half past eight.
You must've got drunk.
I was reading a book all night
and I have something to ask you about.
Is it private or business? If it's
business, call me at the office.
It's private. I was reading
a detective story.
The man in the book gets drunk and
loses control of everything.
In the morning he wakes up and finds
a dead body in the bath.
He's married and it gets very
complicated.
bring me the book. I'll read it
and then we'll talk about it.
It's not a good book but I'd like
to know what sentence he'd get
if they caught him.
- Didn't they catch him?
- They did.
Didn't they write how much he got?
They say that he was caught but
they don't say how much he got.
He didn't remember anything.
It'll be circumstantial.
I think he must've got about 20 years.
How many did you say?
About 20.
20 years for getting drunk?
It proves against him.
Thanks a lot.
Good night.
Just a minute.
We'll go to my work.
I'll pay you there.
What time is it?
- Have a look yourself.
- Thank you.
A water pipe broke.
But it's OK now.
It was for yesterday.
I've got some request to you, sir.
Something strange happened
to me yesterday.
- Did you get drunk?
- Not only.
It's that... I'd like to borrow
some money.
- How much?
- About 20 thousand?
I'll give it back as soon as I have.
Thank you very much.
- The Victoria Hotel?
- Quite the contrary.
Thanks again.
Like kids.
That's all for the moment.
Now we'll go to my place.
I love you more than my own
life so what is it?
I trust you but why did we come here?
Nobody'll disturb us here.
We'll be alone for a while.
You asked for it, Skoczylas.
Thinking about obscenities
distracts you
so much you can't even hold a hammer.
I know where to look for you.
Just to the lift.
Put it there.
Thank you very much.
Now I can manage myself.
Enough?
Maybe you could help me to put it
into the lift.
Damn.
We won't make it.
- You know what?
- If we tried this way?
Not so hard.
Let's try it like this.
Let's go this way...
I'll pay 100 for each floor.
Let's go up the stairs,
it's not so heavy.
To the tenth floor?
You think you're smart.
To the tenth. I'm not drunk
and I know where I live.
I'll take it.
Let's go.
Mind the wall.
Good morning.
Heavy furniture.
If there're two to carry something
they both should carry it.
Together.
Are you counting the floors?
This one's the seventh.
I think you'll be paid for each step.
I help you and I won't charge
you anything.
Thanks a lot.
I can manage myself.
Thank you.
Bozena!
You were supposed to be back tomorrow.
What happened?
A nice welcome from a husband.
Nothing happened.
I couldn't get a ticket for the
sleeping car for tomorrow so
I came back today.
At least you had some sleep.
I didn't. Some man was snoring even
louder than you do it.
- I didn't even close my eyes.
- What man?
You don't choose seats
in the second class.
Listen.
Take this money.
Thank you.
Now, listen to me.
Go to the hairdresser.
Look at yourself.
- You've got to have your hair done.
- My hair is done.
So go to have your fingernails done.
Or whatever needs to be done.
I'll wait.
I've got a surprise for you.
- What're you carrying?
- Wait.
This is the surprise.
All right, I'll only leave
the bags at home.
Leave them.
We'll carry them. It's a job for men.
Please, go now.
Aren't you hiding something from me?
Come on, I won't spill the beans.
I forgive everybody.
Don't try to save my life.
My God! What's going on here?
Zdzich, come here quickly.
Hurry up.
Come inside.
This witch from the upstairs is
flooding my flat for the fourth time.
Look.
Give it to me.
You should have some
rest after the journey.
I'll take the shoes.
I'll do it. It's a job for a woman.
I'll pour it into the bath.
Let's go upstairs.
You'll be the witness.
I won't make a good witness.
Besides, I have no time.
It's your civil duty.
Let's go.
Come with me.
Did you see that?
I'll go to the housekeeper and tell him
to turn off the tap downstairs.
The whole ceiling is swamped.
It'll get dry by the time she's back.
We have to call the police.
You won't call the police when
you see the neighbor?s flat.
The police will not come
because of the flooded flat.
Come with me, will you?
Police? I'd like to report that
a murder has been committed.
7 Puszczyka Street, Flat number 97.
The body hasn't been secured but
there's some obvious evidence.
I gave them such crap that
they'll be here in no time.
- I'm off then.
- Wait.
Let's knock the door down.
Take it easy.
Have you got the keys to your flat?
I've lost mine somewhere.
But I've got mine.
All the keys here are identical.
There was once an inventor who came up
with such an idea.
The pipe broke.
- We have to check everywhere.
- No, let's get out of here.
Didn't I tell you?
Here, in the bathroom.
What's going on there?
You wiped off the fingerprints.
So was it to flood my ceiling
for another hour?
She won't pay me a penny now.
Can you identify the body?
Oh, no. Not that.
But I can say it's Miss Bokiewicz, RIP,
who used to live in flat number 97.
Your friends tights.
She must've been in great hurry.
Be quiet.
What do you mean?
Just as I left, she ran after me
and told me to take her back
to the restaurant.
- She was shaking like this.
- Be quiet.
- Did she say anything?
- Better not to repeat it.
Here you are.
What did she say?
She said that you were a vampire.
You know that a distressed woman
may say anything.
Why didn't you tell me about it?
If I wanted to repeat what
I hear in my car
the number of divorces would
go up by 50%.
The wallpaper is the same as ours.
And the furniture.
All flats were furnished in exactly
the same way in those days.
Even the saucepans were the same.
Someone made a lot of money on this.
There're 2 thousand flats in our estate
so you can imagine how much it was.
I'm positive it was a heart attack.
You needn't have called us.
We respond to every false alarm and
then there's no one
to pay for the petrol.
And who will pay for my ceiling?
Could I see the surprise?
- What's in it?
- What surprise?
What is it?
There should be someone
to remove such rubbish.
Let's go home.
There seems to be no housekeeper here.
To leave such boxes in front of
the neighbours' flats.
It's disgraceful.
- Damn.
- All right?
- Thank you.
- And?
My wife will have more
time to look around.
- Did she change her way of thinking?
- In a way.
She's got jaundice.
