FUGUE
TWO YEARS LATER
What's your name?
Ma'am?
Can you hear me?
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Do you speak English?
Wait a second.
Do you have a family?
A husband, children?
Where did you come from?
Where do you work?
The paramedics should take her.
Left hand up.
Put it down.
Right hand.
Follow at my finger.
My finger.
Medical history?
Contracted diseases?
When do I leave?
With no documents, no therapy, you'll go straight to prison.
For three years.
What?
You assaulted a police officer.
But I have an offer.
Some make-up and hair done and you'll appear on TV.
Otherwise, you won't get out of it.
Come on, Alicja...
My family...
I become sad when...
My body...
Let's try one more time, OK?
Free association. Just answer...
Don't think. Say the first word that comes to your mind, OK?
I'm able to...
Read it yourself... You can do it.
All right...
It's a formality, sign this and you can go for dinner.
Nice signature.
K.S.?
You are on in three...
two...
one...
Alicja, when does your story begin? What can you remember?
Alicja suffers from dissociative fugue.
She can't anything that would help to establish her identity.
As far as we know, she has been in Warsaw for 2 years.
Mr. Nowakowski is a psychiatrist dealing with Alicja's case from the start.
Alicja, how your life in Warsaw looked like. How did you make a living?
You must remember at least that.
Sure, I remember.
But whatever it was, I just forgot.
At the bottom of your screens, you can see our number.
If anyone recognizes Alicja,
Please, call us.
In the meantime, we would like to show you clips from last week's program.
LOST & FOUND
- Fine... - Iwona!
- Yes? - We have a caller.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a caller.
Can you introduce yourself?
Yes. My name is Marian Kwiatkowski.
Can you tell us, who is Alicja?
She is my daughter. Kinga Słowik.
She lives near Wrocław.
How did your daughter disappear?
From what we know, no one looked for her.
That's not true. We looked for her everywhere.
Your husband even gave an ad in a newspaper.
Alicja, can you recall anything now?
It's not Alicja. It's Kinga. Her middle name is Anna, after her granny.
She has a little son, Daniel.
Kinga, my child, can you hear me?
Please, don't hang up.
Ladies and gentlemen...
It seems that...
We successfully matched an identity.
This is... Kinga Słowik.
Alicja, you are in fact Kinga Słowik.
Go, hug your father.
- Hello, sir. - Hello.
- Nowakowski. - Wanda Kwiatkowska.
We should pay you, sir...
No, no, out of the question.
- Not even for the gas? - There is no need, really.
How did you end up in Warsaw?
- Just like that. - You do recognize me, don't you?
- Will you eat dinner with us? - With pleasure.
- Hi. - Hi.
Good afternoon.
I'll pass it to you, sir. There you go.
Thank you.
Mom, have some salad.
- Would you like some meat? - I don't eat meat.
Right.
Where have you been all this time?
In Warsaw.
And before?
What do you mean?
Leave her alone.
- Daniel - Leave me alone!
Wait!
I'm sorry.
Good afternoon.
Krzysztof... Krzysztof.
How's it gonna be? We'll see you in two weeks, right?
It's our 10th anniversary, Blondie and me. We're having a small party.
Us and you... alone or together.
Your favourite, with meat.
When is the priest coming?
Mom, he's not coming.
This is doctor Michał, he is from Warsaw.
- Kinga is back. - Alicja.
Who got sick?
- No one, Mom. - It's not house blessing time?
What are you laughing at?!
Please, let's share this meal.
- More wine? - My name is Hanka...
Great.
Cheers!
I'm Alicja.
This will be enough for three days.
Just heat it.
Wait a sec. I don't live here?
No honey. Now you will go back to your place.
I'll give you some meatballs. Daniel likes them.
Thanks, man.
- Prison would be better. - Take the phone.
- If you need anything, just call. - What do I need a phone for?
You are the last thing I need.
- Sir, may we... - Can we go now?
You have to be patient. It takes time for you two to get used to each other.
I don't want to force you into anything...
Relax. I've known my wife for 23 years. Thank you.
We don't smoke in here.
Will you give me my ID papers?
Did you come here only for that?
Why else?
I thought you took them with you.
What are you doing?
Could you put something on?
I have nothing to wear.
Someone took my clothes.
Could you put something on?
I used your toothbrush, I hope you don't mind.
I'm your wife after all, right?
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- My God, child... - Good morning.
Were you in Auschwitz?
We brought food.
Don't look away. You've seen your daughter naked before.
You'll eat properly...
You'll get more skin and you'll become yourself again.
A lamp...
A chair...
A window...
- Grandpa! - Hey.
How is our baby-boy?
Our doctor advised to put sticky-notes for mommy to remember everything.
Go to grandma.
Don't make an idiot out of me. I see it's a lamp, a chair.
It's doctor's orders.
He made a very precise plan. Take it.
What doctor?
Our family doctor.
Dr. Wołoszyn, my dear.
Where did he see me? On fucking TV?
As far as I know, I'm healthy.
If I have to stay in this shithole, I'll do things my way.
Don't shout! You can't say bad words! You stinker!
What are you doing here? Ready? Let's go.
No looking through my stuff! No entrance to my room!
I would never think I wouldn't recognize my own daughter.
So we're even, ma'am.
Smile.
35 zloty.
- Here. - Wait.
Touch the screen, please.
May I?
PIN code, please.
Thank you.
Number 36, please.
The form.
Here it is.
There you go.
Birth certificate.
Here.
The photo.
She has to sign this. Can she do it?
Yes. Of course.
When will I get the ID card?
Up to three weeks.
What?
Let's go for a ride.
We used to come here everyday to the swimming pool.
Mr. Perła was your coach.
Remember him?
Do you remember...
...when you cried, after you had swum ten lengths in a row.
After swimming, I would buy you these cupcakes.
- Kinga... - That's enough. I'll be fine.
Ooh, you! Really!?
At me!?
Well? What now, you monster?
Look out!
- You missed! - What are you talking about?!
How did you know which fuse to switch?
How did you know where the fuses were?
Magic.
Just like that.
Maybe...
Tell me then, just like that...
...where and what were you doing this whole time.
Huh?
Or you tell me, just like that, why did you leave us?
You were gone for two years.
Two fucking years.
And now I'm supposed to host you, 'cause you came for a fucking ID card?
You don't recognize your own son.
You call your mother "ma'am".
But you remember where the fuses are?
What 's so funny?
Who the fuck are you?
Who the fuck are you?!
You look like a slut and you act like one!
Have you seen yourself in a mirror?! What is this haircut?
You're playing a teenager?!
Fuck off!
You think it's a treat for me to be here?
You fucker.
Do you think, it's a fucking holiday for me?
What have I done to you that you came back?
Ask yourself!
You're the one who remembers.
I'm Ewa.
Alicja.
No way!
- We've been friends since high school. - No way!
Will you make me potato dumplings, Mommy?!
They're the best in the world.
Yes.
Daniel, this is your mother.
I'm only helping Krzysztof.
Have you done anything wrong?
Relax. I don't remember it anyway.
It's been a while.
Don't worry.
I'm here only temporarily.
When are you getting back to work?
Where do I work?
At a high school. We work together.
You teach geography.
Fuck me.
Daniel...
Shall we sail on my yacht?
Mommy will sail with you.
Come.
Does she remember how I got him?
Sure I do.
But I'm not telling you.
Who is it?
He got it for courage.
What?
I don't know. I don't remember.
Welcome to the club then.
Listen...
Don't take it personally.
I know you're trying and all, but...
I really don't care who I was and that I was with you.
I'm sorry.
That Ewa is a hottie.
I don't want to come between you two.
But you are my wife.
Yes.
So why didn't you look for me?
Will you go out with me on Friday?
Because I'm your wife?
...the rolls are already cut.
Have you started with the blocks?
Fine.
Hey, sweetie, come here!
The menu said it's flaming, didn't it?
How is your chemo going?
You have metastasis?
- Benio has metastasis? - Be quiet!
Where do you have these metastasis?
Why don't you eat?
But you get to keep the other, right?
You won't party with one kidney but you'll survive.
Or won't you survive? Tell me.
Oh, well then...
Have someone replace you, I need these blocks to be ready.
Your nails are fucking awesome. Where do you have them done?
The prices have spiked.
Krzysztof wants mine to look like that.
At Marzena's beauty parlor.
- I'll give you my discount. - Great.
She also does my eyelashes.
- I could get mine done too? - How could the prices go up so much?
It's a must.
What about the rollers? Sorry, I have to run. I'm at the restaurant.
It's our 10th anniversary. Blondie wants to kill me. You know what I mean.
Benio, cheer up. It's gonna be fine.
- What are rollers? - Give me a break. Food's getting cold.
- Don't worry. I don't know either. - Are you interested now?
Enjoy.
How am I supposed to eat it if it's on fire?
This one goes here!
Forest goes here.
- Daniel, it's late. - This goes here.
You need to go to bed.
This here.
Do you hear me?
- Bedtime. - Where does the lamp go?
Where does the lamp go?
Over there.
The lamp goes here.
You go here.
- Where does the chair go? - Here.
- What about the chair? - Over there.
The chair goes here.
Glasses...
- Here. - Here!
That's one mighty glass.
How about...
Time for your bath.
Dad, are you tired?
Then sit on the chair.
- Where is it? - Here.
- Here? - Yes, here.
- Here. - Let's sit.
- Dad, are you hungry? - Maybe.
Give me...
The broom. It's on the shelf, next to the forest.
- Do you want some tea? - No, thanks.
No, thanks. I want juice to my mighty glass.
Where is the juice?
Juice!
Yes!
Thank you. It's great.
Ladies and gentleman, because we...
are gathered here, on this family occasion. Cheers!
Yummy!
Dad, do you want to drink the lamp?
You just need to hand me the ladder for the the table to melt properly.
I'll go now.
- See you. - See you.
So now...
Who will wash the roof tiles with the rake first?
Look, an asteroid.
One asteroid and all the dinosaurs are gone.
Both in the sky and on land.
Let's throw some stones.
- Can you make stones skip on water? - Not really.
Look.
We made it.
Why is my name "Daniel"?
I don't know.
Radek laughs at me that my name is stupid.
Who is Radek?
My friend.
What kind of a friend is he, if he laughs at you?
You didn't like your name, either.
I didn't. That's why I changed it.
You can change yours.
What is it?
Right here.
- The head is here and the tail here? - I have no idea.
It needs to have a head as well.
I don't know what that is.
This is a dress.
Have you seen a boy in a striped hat?
Excuse me!
Have you seen a boy in blue overalls? My son?
Have you seen him? And a man... over there...
How old is he?
- Who? - Your son?
I don't know. 5, maybe 6.
For fuck's sake, was I alone or with a man and a child?!
Krzysztof!
Daniel!
Mom is here.
You still have the IV wrist scar from giving birth to Daniel.
A birth mark here.
And this beauty spot...
You scratched it off, but you glued it back.
It grew back in.
You have some soil in your right knee.
You fell off the bike as a child.
What about here?
You scratched your head here, once I asked you to marry me.
What went wrong between us?
Freeze!
Release!
What do you have in here?
Do you want some?
Whoopsy.
Wait.
Allow me.
- Stop it. - He's asleep.
Wait.
I'm coming to you.
- Mom, leave me alone. - What are you doing?
Leave him alone! Stop it. Leave him.
Leave him, I said!
I'm coming to you...
Kinga!
Calm down. It's all right now.
Hush...
Squeeze it.
You're awake.
I wasn't asleep.
Yes, you were.
You slept, as if you were dead.
I haven't seen you in a while.
It was hard to watch what became of you.
Mom...
What kind of mother was I?
A perfect one.
What kind of child was I?
A lovely one.
You never caused any trouble.
I thought something bad happened to Daniel.
He was just fine. What happened yesterday?
Kinga, please tell me.
Alicja...
I won't endure it for the second time.
I'm so sorry, sir. It has never happened before.
He just... he left and nobody noticed...
I didn't know where to take him. He said he didn't know his name.
Daniel...
I'm not Daniel.
Who are you then?
I'm nobody.
Give me the leg.
Daddy, close the door.
Goal!
I had an accident.
Wait!
A long time ago. It came back to me.
I think that's why I lost my memory.
How can I know if these are memories...?
Whom are you talking to?
To Michał.
May I?
Hello?
Thank you for your attention, but I don't remember asking for a family therapy.
She is your ex-patient.
She doesn't need your help anymore. Don't call her again. Good night.
I called him.
- What for? - To learn anything at all.
Ask me, then.
Ask.
I've never loved you, haven't I?
And do you love me now?
Everything started to come back to Daniel. After all that...
He started to wet his bed again. Yesterday...
I couldn't find him. I was going mad. He was in your closet. You know why?
Because he doesn't know what's going on.
He wanted to be closer to his mom.
But I'm not Kinga anymore.
Come, I will show you something.
Come.
Here, you had the accident.
Or whatever it was.
That's where they found the car.
It was full of soil.
That's the only way I knew how to explain to Daniel why you left us.
You asked why I didn't look for you...
One doesn't look for those who died.
He is so sweet.
Isn't he cute?
Who is that?
Who is that? Sweetheart.
- He showed his face. - Yes, he did.
Give him a titty, he's hungry.
That day, divorce papers came, you wanted to take Daniel from me.
I was so scared. I put him into the car and...
I wanted...
...to run away with him.
I don't remember the crash itself, just...
How he flew through the windshield.
And how he was lying on the road.
He wasn't moving.
And I was OK.
I couldn't get out of the car because...
...the door was smashed.
I remember running to him later.
I wiped blood off my eyes.
I wanted to see if he was still alive.
But he was dead.
I thought I had killed my own child.
You didn't kill him.
I said to him...
I'm coming to you, my baby boy.
I'm coming to you.
I wanted to jump under a car or something.
But no car was coming.
Later, I ran into the woods and...
...after that I woke up with my head on the railway tracks.
By then I didn't remember anything.
I can't do this.
When I stayed alone with Daniel...
...I also thought I couldn't do this.
A rabbit, a squirrel and a fox...
...they all have furry tails.
Only the ladybird has no tail.
No tail for the ladybird.
Only the ladybird has no tail.
No tail for the ladybird.
She has no tail, but she has freckles from the sun.
Shall we play "freeze-release"?
Shall we sail?
I can't.
Wait a moment.
- Where do you want to sit? - On the left side.
You sat on the stern. I'll sit on the bow then.
OK.
We forgot about the cookies.
Shall we go?
Do we paddle with our legs?
- And hands. - And hands.
One leg, the other. It's really deep in here.
We're on water, so we can eat now.
- You know who is the worst in my group? - Who?
Adrian.
Why?
He bullies us all the time.
What does he say?
Well, he says things like...
'Ass' and 'fuck you'.
That's bad indeed.
Why do dogs sniff trousers so often?
- That's what dogs do. - Where did you come from?
- From far away. - Now you have to go again?
Yes.
Will you tell me how things are over there?
OK.
Will you tell me how things are over here?
- OK? - OK.
Then go and have fun.
And come back in one piece.
In one piece.
Deal.
