WEBVTT

01:53.600 --> 01:54.640
Who is it?

01:55.240 --> 01:58.080
The Santa Klaus

02:03.880 --> 02:05.080
Merry Christmas!

02:06.960 --> 02:08.800
"Oh, sorry..."
I didn't recognize you

02:53.680 --> 02:55.200
"And you must be Krysia, right?"

02:56.080 --> 02:59.400
"Well, Krysia, this is for you"
A small gift

03:01.840 --> 03:04.440
"And you're Antos, aren't you?"

03:04.520 --> 03:09.200
"There's something for you, too"

03:09.360 --> 03:11.600
And for grandma

03:12.440 --> 03:14.040
Thank you

03:14.480 --> 03:15.920
This is for Basia

03:16.040 --> 03:19.200
Here's something for Mummy

03:20.000 --> 03:22.080
"Yes, let me see now"

04:30.720 --> 04:31.640
Thank you

04:35.760 --> 04:37.600
Do you really think we'll go?

04:39.000 --> 04:40.440
We'll try

04:48.240 --> 04:49.240
Thank you

05:09.320 --> 05:11.160
She's in her room

05:13.160 --> 05:13.800
Is she feeling bad?

05:51.920 --> 05:53.560
"Merry Christmas, Aunt"

06:07.280 --> 06:08.720
Ewa?

06:11.120 --> 06:12.960
My dear Ewa...

06:21.680 --> 06:23.520
Have you done your homework?

06:25.840 --> 06:27.160
"Yes, Aunt"

06:27.280 --> 06:28.760
"The maths, too?"

06:30.320 --> 06:31.280
"Yes, Aunt"

06:32.840 --> 06:36.680
I was always very good at maths...

06:40.520 --> 06:42.440
I thought you'd come with...

06:44.640 --> 06:45.640
what's-his-name... er...

06:47.240 --> 06:48.200
Edward

06:52.800 --> 06:53.880
Yes

12:13.360 --> 12:15.880
Merry Christmas... once more

12:16.560 --> 12:20.440
"The kids will never forget this Christmas,"
the Santa Klaus and the midnight mass

12:21.320 --> 12:22.520
"Oh yes, It's been as before"

12:46.520 --> 12:47.240
Yes

12:49.920 --> 12:50.840
Yes?

13:05.600 --> 13:06.520
I don't know

13:08.360 --> 13:10.640
It seems someone's trying to steal our car

13:13.280 --> 13:14.120
I'll be back soon

13:58.680 --> 14:01.920
Where's my home?

14:04.040 --> 14:08.040
Where's my home...

14:09.640 --> 14:10.760
Where...

14:35.440 --> 14:37.400
IT seems you forgot to wish me
merry Christmas once again

14:39.680 --> 14:40.840
What do you want?

14:43.520 --> 14:45.080
It's the Christmas Eve

14:50.240 --> 14:51.920
"Tell me, what do you want?"

14:56.240 --> 14:57.560
Edward's missing

14:58.160 --> 14:59.040
What?

15:01.360 --> 15:02.400
He's gone

15:09.680 --> 15:10.560
Ewa...

15:16.160 --> 15:17.760
Went out in the morning
and never come back

15:19.040 --> 15:20.720
We've got to find him

15:26.000 --> 15:27.720
It's the Christmas Eve

15:32.720 --> 15:34.080
I'm sorry

15:39.120 --> 15:39.920
Ewa...

15:46.000 --> 15:47.680
"All right, I'll go with you"

15:48.880 --> 15:50.280
What have you told your wife?

15:51.560 --> 15:53.480
That someone was trying to steal the car

15:54.800 --> 15:56.120
Let me have the keys

16:02.880 --> 16:03.920
Join me behind the corner

16:33.800 --> 16:34.840
It's been stolen

16:35.120 --> 16:36.960
Somebody's seen it in Wislostrada street

16:37.960 --> 16:39.440
You call the police

16:39.600 --> 16:43.400
...and I'll try to catch a taxi

16:43.760 --> 16:45.120
Is it worth your while?

16:46.400 --> 16:47.520
"The car earns our living, doesn't it?"

17:08.200 --> 17:09.480
We attended the midnight mass

17:10.640 --> 17:11.400
"No, I didn't"

17:12.240 --> 17:13.320
I saw you there

17:16.840 --> 17:18.160
"Ah, all right, let's forget it"

17:21.200 --> 17:22.560
I've checked everywhere

17:24.720 --> 17:27.440
"...with friends, with the police..."

17:28.640 --> 17:29.480
Where to?

17:32.160 --> 17:34.240
Where would you go
if your wife disappeared?

17:39.080 --> 17:40.840
"I don't know, to the hospital?"
...the emergency department

17:41.000 --> 17:42.680
The emergency service's
in Banacha street tonight

18:05.800 --> 18:07.640
"Do you have emergency service tonight,
Doctor?"

18:08.800 --> 18:09.840
"Not today, yesterday"

18:10.120 --> 18:11.440
I've made a mistake

18:12.560 --> 18:13.360
What about today?

18:14.320 --> 18:16.200
Which hospital has?

18:17.360 --> 18:18.440
Whom are you trying to find?

18:20.080 --> 18:20.640
A husband

18:23.280 --> 18:24.160
"No, mine"

18:26.480 --> 18:27.400
"That you, Jurek?"

18:27.800 --> 18:30.200
Do you happen to have a patient...

18:30.320 --> 18:31.280
His name?

18:33.520 --> 18:34.080
By the name of Garus?

18:36.720 --> 18:37.960
Thirty-eight

18:38.840 --> 18:39.680
"Yes, Garus, thirty-eight"

18:41.680 --> 18:46.080
"No, there's a female here..."
looking for her husband

18:48.400 --> 18:50.320
When was he brought to you?

18:51.400 --> 18:52.920
When did he leave home?

18:53.120 --> 18:53.800
At noon

18:54.800 --> 18:56.720
It doesn't seem to be him
"He left home at noon, yeah"

19:01.000 --> 19:05.200
"They have a casualty,"
no legs no papers

19:05.560 --> 19:08.280
But that was before eleven
The Prague hospital

19:10.240 --> 19:11.920
Shall I put the light off?

19:12.280 --> 19:14.240
"No, thanks, I'm on duty"

20:00.280 --> 20:01.200
It's his car

20:08.200 --> 20:09.080
And his scarf

20:11.000 --> 20:13.840
I'll leave it here
He might be cold when he's back

20:15.280 --> 20:16.840
He can hardly be back
if he has no legs any more

20:21.200 --> 20:25.240
"You'd better leave a sandwich for him, too"
He might be hungry when he's back

20:26.000 --> 20:28.240
"Go on, it's very funny"

20:29.080 --> 20:30.120
"Gladly,"

20:33.640 --> 20:35.760
"Why don't we go to bed together,"
in a hotel?

20:38.480 --> 20:42.440
And then you could call him
to tell him the number of our room

20:43.280 --> 20:45.320
I... I didn't call him

20:48.440 --> 20:51.960
You wanted to be through with me
and to go home

20:53.240 --> 20:54.280
And to be left in peace

20:56.080 --> 20:57.640
I didn't call him

20:58.720 --> 21:00.000
He told me

21:02.920 --> 21:05.320
"You didn't say who was calling,"
I admit

21:10.320 --> 21:11.200
"Ewa,"

21:13.240 --> 21:15.120
"I didn't call him, believe me"
I'm not.

21:16.960 --> 21:18.840
Nothing to choose between all of you

21:21.760 --> 21:22.640
"O.K., forget it"

21:26.440 --> 21:28.680
"Take me to the Prague hospital, please"

21:46.960 --> 21:47.960
The fellow with his legs cut off

22:15.760 --> 22:16.720
"Ewa... There, there, Ewa..."

22:32.920 --> 22:34.040
"No, let me have a look"

22:37.840 --> 22:38.840
It isn't him

22:44.080 --> 22:45.440
I'd like it to be him...

22:49.240 --> 22:49.880
or you...

22:53.800 --> 22:55.720
Many a time I imagined...

22:56.920 --> 23:00.000
"both of you run over by a truck,"
the face squashed by the tires

23:04.480 --> 23:06.160
I once saw you in my dream

23:09.640 --> 23:11.560
Your neck was broken

23:14.160 --> 23:16.240
I could see your tongue protruding

23:21.880 --> 23:25.960
I just looked at you - and laughed

23:32.440 --> 23:34.200
I wonder who's had a spite
against this one here

23:36.400 --> 23:37.840
Who's going to be glad

23:40.720 --> 23:41.360
It's the police

23:42.640 --> 23:43.560
So what?

23:44.040 --> 23:45.800
You're driving a stolen car
Did you call them?

23:50.640 --> 23:51.840
Hold on

24:01.360 --> 24:03.280
"Hey, Andrzej"
This is that stolen car

24:43.280 --> 24:44.040
They're following us

25:05.200 --> 25:06.240
Got any papers?

25:06.760 --> 25:07.480
Yes

25:07.640 --> 25:08.640
Then you'd better slow down

25:19.960 --> 25:21.080
Drive slowly

25:35.440 --> 25:36.400
Get out of the car

25:38.360 --> 25:38.800
Put your hands on the roof

25:41.160 --> 25:42.720
"All right, this your car, Mister?"

25:49.880 --> 25:51.400
This car's been reported stolen

25:51.560 --> 25:55.280
We've only just found it
Abandoned in Wislostrada street

25:56.600 --> 25:57.040
Had a drink?

25:58.600 --> 25:59.920
I haven't had the time

26:01.240 --> 26:03.000
"Like driving fast, eh?"

26:04.240 --> 26:06.280
You're lucky
it's the Christmas Eve tonight

26:33.640 --> 26:36.000
He was right
I was driving too fast

26:37.880 --> 26:41.600
You could have wrecked the car
and killed me and yourself

26:45.280 --> 26:47.400
Shall we have another try?

26:48.160 --> 26:49.040
Do you want it?

26:53.040 --> 26:54.640
Fasten the belts

27:43.120 --> 27:44.120
Got enough?

27:52.840 --> 27:54.440
We were to go home

27:58.000 --> 27:58.480
All right

28:31.160 --> 28:32.120
Your car isn't here

28:34.480 --> 28:35.120
Are you getting out?

28:41.680 --> 28:44.560
He couldn't have left the car
before noon

28:46.520 --> 28:47.360
Why?

28:47.440 --> 28:48.960
It was snowing in the afternoon

28:49.320 --> 28:50.880
But the car had no snow on it

28:53.200 --> 28:56.200
"You know, I mean that snow cap"

28:58.040 --> 28:59.000
It started snowing at five pm

29:01.520 --> 29:02.400
"Well, I don't know"

29:06.280 --> 29:07.200
I say...

29:08.560 --> 29:12.520
What if he's at home?
We shouldn't go in together

29:14.000 --> 29:15.000
Wait here

29:18.200 --> 29:20.120
"If he isn't there,"
I'll come out to the balcony

29:21.040 --> 29:23.440
"If I don't come out in five minutes,"
drive home.

29:37.240 --> 29:37.960
Ewa...

29:41.080 --> 29:43.800
In case he's there

29:51.440 --> 29:52.400
Good-bye

30:20.200 --> 30:21.000
Emergency service

30:21.120 --> 30:24.000
There's been an accident
A man has fainted

30:25.000 --> 30:26.840
He's lying at the bus stop

30:27.160 --> 30:27.800
"May I have the address, please?"

30:27.920 --> 30:33.000
It's at the corner of Pulawsah and
"Walbrzyska streets, the city way"

30:33.120 --> 30:34.080
Perhaps he's drunk?

30:34.640 --> 30:36.760
"No, he's sober"
We have his papers

30:36.880 --> 30:37.760
His name?

30:37.840 --> 30:41.240
Edward Garus
Born in 1949...

30:41.360 --> 30:43.320
"Your name, please?"

30:46.520 --> 30:47.240
Anna Tatarkiewiez

32:40.680 --> 32:41.600
He isn't there

32:59.600 --> 33:00.920
"Like I told you, he isn't"

33:05.680 --> 33:07.120
Why don't you take off your coat?

33:09.640 --> 33:11.120
"I'd rather not, I'm freezing"

33:17.080 --> 33:18.200
Want some tea?

33:20.040 --> 33:20.840
Yeah

33:45.880 --> 33:49.960
I didn't phone Edward that night
"three years ago, it's nonsense to say I did"

33:58.520 --> 34:00.440
That was important to me

34:02.080 --> 34:03.640
You were important

34:06.160 --> 34:10.480
"If you really want to know,"
I loved you

34:12.920 --> 34:15.400
And I wanted...

34:15.920 --> 34:18.720
to change everything

34:23.600 --> 34:26.880
"When we were getting dressed,"

34:28.200 --> 34:30.840
and he was standing there
with his back to us...

34:35.000 --> 34:36.920
You didn't even look at me once

34:39.320 --> 34:44.600
I took you by the hand
But you tore yourself away

34:47.280 --> 34:50.800
"Then he said,"
now that we're both dressed

34:51.400 --> 34:56.120
"You can choose, you can stay or go"
And added he was going

34:58.000 --> 34:59.920
And you followed him without a word

35:01.360 --> 35:02.600
"Yes, it was like that?"

35:03.320 --> 35:04.440
Yeah

35:06.640 --> 35:09.080
Edward made still another condition

35:11.600 --> 35:13.320
"I could follow him,"

35:14.960 --> 35:17.200
if I would never meet you again

35:18.760 --> 35:19.640
Yes...

35:21.080 --> 35:22.960
And you said
I have no intention to see him

35:24.560 --> 35:26.840
"And then I answered, all right"

35:28.880 --> 35:29.600
That's how it happened?

35:29.720 --> 35:30.720
Give me your hand

35:39.320 --> 35:42.920
The poor boy whom nobody loved
or understood

35:47.560 --> 35:48.960
You're right

35:51.640 --> 35:53.800
It was all my fault

35:56.320 --> 35:58.440
"But you seem to have landed well,"
don't you?

36:03.440 --> 36:05.760
"You're the same as before, aren't you?"

36:07.280 --> 36:10.480
You went as it hammer and tongs
to straighten things

36:12.400 --> 36:16.360
"You're a good husband and father,"
you provided well for your family

36:17.800 --> 36:19.480
And you never forget
to collect the laundry

36:19.600 --> 36:20.560
Let me go

36:22.960 --> 36:27.120
I'll be glad to
your hands stink of petrol

37:21.800 --> 37:24.760
Did you ever think what happened
after we left that hotel?

37:26.560 --> 37:28.240
How I was feeling? What I felt
when we watched some love story on TV

37:29.200 --> 37:34.160
...and he looked at me all the time
instead of the screen?

37:39.200 --> 37:43.040
I never made love to him
since that night

37:56.360 --> 37:57.640
What are you doing?

38:06.040 --> 38:07.040
Nothing special...

38:09.600 --> 38:10.760
washing my hands

38:16.240 --> 38:17.520
It's the Christmas Eve

38:20.480 --> 38:22.400
I'm sorry

38:23.640 --> 38:25.200
I lied to you

38:28.240 --> 38:30.080
"I do sleep with him, quite normally"

38:43.600 --> 38:44.720
The same to you
All the best

38:48.080 --> 38:49.240
To us

39:13.360 --> 39:14.320
It's him

39:18.800 --> 39:20.720
At the wrong moment again

39:28.520 --> 39:33.400
"Baby Jesus, sleep"

39:33.520 --> 39:37.880
Sleep now

39:38.000 --> 39:43.720
Mother is soothing

39:43.960 --> 39:47.840
your cries...

39:48.640 --> 39:49.600
How about the second verse?

39:50.600 --> 39:51.800
This is all we know

39:54.640 --> 39:56.080
Special night rates

39:56.440 --> 39:58.280
"Thank you, merry Christmas"

40:07.880 --> 40:10.120
Has he grown a beard?
"I mean, Edward?"

40:10.960 --> 40:11.560
"No, not at all..."

40:19.400 --> 40:23.280
We're breaking the wafer as if
here forgetting what we're really doing

40:24.160 --> 40:24.880
Let's go

40:26.480 --> 40:27.440
Where to?

40:29.120 --> 40:32.520
The emergency service or
the rail way station

40:34.000 --> 40:34.600
"Yes, the railway station"

40:36.680 --> 40:38.520
"Just a second longer, O.K.?"

41:04.440 --> 41:05.440
Is this the emergency service?

41:06.520 --> 41:11.080
Could you tell me if a Mr. Garus
has been brought to you?

41:11.520 --> 41:12.840
Edward Garus

41:13.440 --> 41:18.320
Born 1949...

41:20.720 --> 41:23.760
"Ah, I see, and do you receive"
notifications from all over Warsaw?

41:25.840 --> 41:28.360
A notification? Where was it?

41:29.480 --> 41:30.480
And?

41:33.200 --> 41:34.320
Thank you very much

41:47.920 --> 41:50.480
"I phoned the emergency service,"
there's been a notification

41:50.600 --> 41:51.640
A notification?

41:51.760 --> 41:55.280
"Yes, somebody reported him lying, when the"
"ambulance arrived, he wasn't there anymore"

41:55.440 --> 41:56.280
"He wasn't there, that's all"

41:56.400 --> 41:59.120
They say it's usually like that
with drunks

41:59.240 --> 42:03.160
They told me to check
at the sobering-up station

42:10.200 --> 42:11.920
Where's my home?

42:12.800 --> 42:15.880
Where is it?

42:22.160 --> 42:24.920
"Let me see, Garus..."

42:27.760 --> 42:28.720
A Jew?

42:30.160 --> 42:30.960
No

42:31.680 --> 42:34.480
"We had a Garus once, back in 1979"

42:35.040 --> 42:35.920
He was a Jew

42:38.400 --> 42:41.240
Do you have cards with particulars
of all your patients?

42:42.440 --> 42:45.280
"Yes, perhaps he's one of those"
who's been brought in today

42:46.680 --> 42:48.280
Better have a look at them

42:52.720 --> 42:54.160
"Ah, they've gone to sleep"

43:03.440 --> 43:05.240
Just look at them dancing

43:06.160 --> 43:07.760
What about this one?

43:10.640 --> 43:12.240
Or that one?

43:13.120 --> 43:14.480
Stop it!

43:16.440 --> 43:18.000
"Stop it, will you!"

43:19.000 --> 43:20.760
Can't you see they're cold?

43:21.120 --> 43:22.840
"You deserve to be pun in there, you bum?"

43:23.520 --> 43:24.520
Stop!

43:25.520 --> 43:28.480
Just try
"Come on, try it!"

43:37.560 --> 43:40.920
"Let's dance, come on!"

44:08.160 --> 44:09.760
It doesn't make any sense
to go on looking

44:11.680 --> 44:13.040
I'm going home

44:17.360 --> 44:18.760
Where shall I take you?

45:12.320 --> 45:14.160
I wrecked you car

45:20.960 --> 45:22.640
And ruined your Christmas Eve

45:24.080 --> 45:26.600
"Not at all, it was very nice"

45:28.920 --> 45:30.280
Come with me...

45:32.760 --> 45:35.000
"to the railway station, please"

46:36.760 --> 46:39.560
Are you on duty at the TV sets?

46:39.720 --> 46:40.520
Yes

46:45.320 --> 46:47.480
I keep falling asleep
That's why I'm skating

46:47.600 --> 46:51.360
We're looking for...
Has there been an accident perhaps?

46:51.760 --> 46:52.400
No

46:53.800 --> 46:55.800
Do you remember a man
wearing a short sheep skin coat?

46:55.920 --> 46:59.040
A jacket actually?

47:00.080 --> 47:02.320
He comes here quite often
Never goes anywhere

47:31.800 --> 47:32.680
Who's this man?

47:33.440 --> 47:34.480
Edward

47:38.080 --> 47:39.440
And the woman?

47:40.720 --> 47:41.840
His wife

47:42.920 --> 47:44.120
And these are his children

47:45.680 --> 47:48.640
He's living in Crakow
For nearly three years now

47:49.720 --> 47:51.280
For three years?

47:51.760 --> 47:52.760
Nearly...

47:56.480 --> 47:58.360
I lied a lot tonight

48:00.600 --> 48:02.200
But why?

48:06.080 --> 48:08.000
I don't know

48:10.000 --> 48:11.440
Do you know a game?
You say to yourself

48:13.400 --> 48:15.720
If the person who appears from behind
"the corner is a man, I'll be lucky"

48:17.880 --> 48:21.280
"If it's woman,"
it means bad luck

48:23.640 --> 48:25.240
I know it

48:27.200 --> 48:28.880
I played that game tonight

48:35.480 --> 48:36.880
I said to myself

48:37.920 --> 48:40.560
If I manage to spend the whole night
"with you, till seven in the morning"

48:41.560 --> 48:44.120
no matter how...

48:47.200 --> 48:48.240
What then?

48:51.480 --> 48:54.200
Then everything is going to be all right

48:56.560 --> 48:57.880
What if you failed?

49:13.040 --> 49:14.760
I've made preparations

49:16.120 --> 49:17.320
I live alone

49:26.720 --> 49:28.200
It's so very hard to be alone...

49:29.560 --> 49:31.640
on a night like this

49:34.480 --> 49:35.520
People just...

49:38.520 --> 49:41.720
"Yeah, they lock themselves in,"
curtain the windows

49:42.360 --> 49:43.640
Exactly

49:47.600 --> 49:49.800
"Going to the midnight mass tonight,"

49:53.680 --> 49:55.240
I saw a boy

50:08.160 --> 50:09.680
He slipped away from the hospital

50:11.520 --> 50:12.800
Still wearing his pajamas...

50:13.640 --> 50:14.640
What happened to him?

50:19.480 --> 50:20.600
They got him

50:54.240 --> 50:55.200
I know...

50:57.680 --> 50:59.840
it wasn't you who phoned that night

51:03.640 --> 51:04.760
Be seeing you

52:47.440 --> 52:48.200
"They're all asleep, aren't they?"

52:55.280 --> 52:56.880
The car's been found

52:58.560 --> 52:59.480
I know

53:01.520 --> 53:02.960
I phoned during the night

53:10.160 --> 53:11.080
Was it Ewa?

53:16.720 --> 53:17.840
Yes

53:25.640 --> 53:27.800
Are you going to spend the evening
away from home like before?

53:27.960 --> 53:28.840
No

53:32.240 --> 53:33.160
"No, I'm not"

53:34.400 --> 53:35.560
I'll be here
