#BringBackAlice

What happened here?

Someone must have broken in last night.

- What did they take? - I don't know yet.

Some equipment, money. Normal stuff.

Make breakfast. I'll call the police.

Okay.

Hi.

I'm going back to school.

Are you sure?

Isn't it good that I want to go back?

You don't have to decide these things yet.

Do you like my hair?

I followed a tutorial.

What does Milena think?

I don't need her anymore.

What happened yesterday, Ala?

I just miss my friends.

Michal! Michal! Michal!

- Hiya. - Hey!

- Hi. What's up? - I'm starting a betting pool.

How's your old man? Scammed anyone lately?

The apple don't fall far. Fucking crooks.

Stop talking about my family. I want to play.

What do you wager? I'm taking bets.

That's it!

One and done! One and done!

- Fuck you. You're trash. - Stop right here!

Congratulations.

Hi!

Why didn't you text me to come in with you?

- I didn't want to make a fuss. - How'd that work out?

- Hey! - Hi.

- Hi. - What a surprise!

- I thought you'd be happy, babe. - I am.

You always have to make an entrance.

- Hiya. - Hiya.

- Ala? - Hey.

- Great to have you back. - Come on. Give me a break.

I only came back to school.

Hi. What are you doing here?

I met with the principal. Ala must repeat a year.

- She returned to school today. - I see. I'll support her, of course.

She says she's done with therapy, but we'll pay for today's session.

As you wish.

If anything comes up, you've got my number.

You know... I don't only work with kids.

- I have to go. See you. - Bye.

You look gorgeous.

You know, while I was gone...

If you and Michal...

You know.

Me and Michal?

I wouldn't blame you. I mean it.

But I would blame myself.

- Hi, Ala. - Hi, Sonia.

I'm the captain of the cheerleaders now.

- And Mon is one of us. - Congratulations.

Things changed while you were gone. Just ask your lapdog.

And your boyfriend.

I'm glad to see you too.

Wow, looks like Kris hasn't been kissing you lately.

Is that why you're so wound up?

Fucking freak. Girls!

Tasty lip gloss, by the way. Is it cherry?

I'll walk you to class. I just need to stop by the library.

Let's go.

What Sonia said before...

Forget it. She's an idiot.

The thing is, she was right.

If I ever treated you like a lapdog, I'm sorry.

I know you never saw me that way.

You're my best friend, Mon.

I'd never hurt you.

- Bye, guys! - See you!

Do you feel like a scumbag yet?

Of course, I feel terrible.

But what can we do?

Tell her?

I thought you wanted to wait.

She's back at school. It's different.

Haven't we hurt her enough already?

All the more reason to stay quiet.

I've missed this.

- Will you tell her about us? - I promise.

- Like yesterday and the day before? - Mon!

We'll finish after you tell her.

You can't fuck and deceive both of them forever.

Feeling jealous? I would be too.

How'd it go last time you were with a girl?

Oh, yeah, she died.

Hi.

- You're gaming more than before. - I can't sleep.

You're not the only one.

Listen, the other day, something was bugging you.

I'm worried about Monika.

You still hope to decode her.

I know you have a crush on her.

Don't worry.

I've forgotten a lot, but I can still keep a secret.

See you!

- Hi, Ala. - Hi!

- Want a ride? - No, thanks. I'm meeting my mom.

Maybe you could drop by tonight. Emilia invites you to dinner.

- Sure, why not? - See you tonight then?

- At eight, like before? - Eight it is.

- Okay, see you. - Bye.

COME TO DINNER TONIGHT, ALICJA WILL BE THERE.

- Good evening. - Good evening. I'll take your jacket.

No, you don't have to.

Follow me, please.

Finally!

I didn't think you'd show. Come.

I can't believe she invited that human garbage.

- This is Tomek, my boyfriend. - Good evening. Sorry I'm late.

Meet everyone. Oskar, my father, my stepmother Emilia, my brothers.

Take a seat. We're celebrating Alicja's return.

- Hi. I'm Ala. - Tomek. Hi.

Are you the brother of the other girl who went missing that day?

- That's right. - I hope that she'll be found.

Like I was.

Thanks.

Did you hear about it?

No one looked for her, since she's not rich like us.

Well, I wouldn't call us rich.

We're drinking Cristal, not Goût de Diamants.

To you, Alicja!

Cheers!

It's good to be back.

Cheers.

Where do you live, Tomek?

In the slums they've been trying to gentrify.

I think Tomek can speak for himself.

We're number one in suicides and drug addiction.

We're quite proud.

We all have our problems.

Some have problems with themselves.

Don't overdo it, son. You've got a big game coming.

- Football? - Basketball.

- He's really good. - It's his ticket to Stanford.

He'll study law like my oldest.

A new family tradition.

Am I eating dinner with the next attorney general?

You could use an attorney general in the family, Daddy.

- Paula! - What?

Taking my dad's name didn't make you our mother.

Paula is alluding to some allegations against me.

All baseless, of course.

The media blew it up.

- I don't watch TV, sir. - I like him already.

Now I've graduated, I can fight for his just cause.

Family is what matters.

- Where do you attend school, Tomek? - He doesn't. He quit.

I'm also not the academic type.

Sorry, I got to take this.

If you're not in school, what do you do then?

Stealing.

I work in a garage. I haven't yet found my path in life.

I've done different things.

I've been a bouncer, a cashier, a janitor.

You have a bright future ahead.

Do you know what would happen if every lawyer went on strike tomorrow?

Nothing. Thank you.

But if people like...

nurses, house maids, shop assistants went on strike...

it would be a mess.

It may not buy me a Ferrari, but I know what job has more value.

It seems I must give Oksana a raise.

Luckily, not everything's for sale.

Got a minute, Dad?

A minute!

A minute in lawyer-speak is at least three hours.

- It was nice to meet you, Tomek. - Likewise.

Please enjoy dessert without us.

Ala, again, good to have you back.

I'll change and we can go.

- Won't you stay for dessert? - No.

I must go too. Thank you.

Can you stay for a second, Michal?

I'll wait for you downstairs.

It was good to see you, Ala.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Need a lift?

- I'll manage. - No doubt about it.

See you again. Hopefully.

Michal, dating two girls at once is not okay.

And it isn't your style.

What would you do if Mom suddenly rose from the dead?

It ain't as simple as it seems.

Here I am.

- Where's Tomek? - I guess he left.

- What do you mean? - Without a good night kiss?

Fuck you.

What is it? You were fucking awesome!

If you want to screw with your old man, get a forehead tattoo.

- What's up your ass? - Nice!

That rich education hasn't gone to waste. Like father, like daughter.

Fuck you!

DUDE, I SAW ALA PINKY SWEARING WITH JANEK.

WE BETTER KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.

Who's that?
