25 Years of Innocence (25 lat niewinności)

BASED ON TRUE EVENTS

APRIL 17, 2000

Step aside!

Police. Sit.

- Name? - Komenda.

- Repeat! - Komenda.

- Trousers? - In the wardrobe.

Get dressed.

Where's your sweatshirt?

- There. - Tomek!

Let's go.

- Tomek! - What's going on?

Leave him alone!

Hands behind your back!

What are you doing to him?

Get up.

Tomek!

Get your shoes on, quick!

Let's go.

25 YEARS OF INNOCENCE

The other side.

Turn to face me.

A little to the left.

Look into the camera.

Strip down!

Hurry the fuck up!

Open your mouth. Stick out your tongue.

OK. Arms up.

Lift your dick and balls.

Spread your cheeks and cough.

I confess to the charge.

I was at home...

we were having a New Year's Eve party.

- I gone out... - I went out.

I went out.

I took a bus

to Miłoszyce.

I met a girl at the party,

her name was Kaśka.

We were dancing, drinking alcohol.

Then we went to the woods and had sex.

I didn't force her at all.

After that...

she went home,

and I came back to Wrocław.

Is this your cap?

Do you understand the charge?

Sex with an underaged girl.

“I misunderstood the charge.

I do not confess to the crime.”

Bars!

Stand here.

In!

I wanna wake up.

JANUARY 1, 1997 THREE YEARS BEFORE THE ARREST

- Hey. - Yo!

Know what time it is, son?

- Come help us! - OK, mom.

Get out of there!

Here's our party animal.

You missed the best fun, man.

Mom!

Come on, not today!

- Just for two hours. - Look at this mess.

Scout's honor.

Last time you also said “two hours.”

Please. Just two hours, I promise.

- Hi, Tomek! - Morning.

Come on, I promise...

Thanks! Be good, Krystian.

Thank you. Bye!

The village of Miłoszyce is shocked by a brutal rape

and murder of a teenage girl

who spent New Year's Eve at a local disco.

A special police team from Wrocław

is being assigned to the case.

Do you know who did it?

The perpetrators left clues. It's a matter of time till we catch them.

Tomek, be careful! There are little kids here.

- You wanna eat off paper, dumb-ass? - You're a dumb-ass.

Boys! Watch your language!

Gerard! It's too cold, the car won't start.

Wait, don't touch that.

- She came here again? - She did.

Maybe we should adopt him, huh?

Mirek, give me a break.

I'll borrow jumper cables.

Use this.

- I got distracted. - What were you thinking about?

Nothing. I have no plans for the New Year.

You can make plans, but life goes its own way.

Switch the channel.

Let's take a walk down memory lane

to the delights of childhood...

Good morning, Wrocław!

It's 6:30, a frosty October morning.

Sixty-three days left to the end of the year

or in fact to the end of the century!

Let's start the day with Manu Chao's “Bongo Bong.”

TAKEN

Tomek!

- An Audi's next. - OK.

OCTOBER 16, 1999 SIX MONTHS BEFORE THE ARREST

Tomek! Stop that. Get inside!

Why are you prying?

She's enough trouble already.

She tried to leave Krystian with you?

She did.

- What did you bring here? - Mom packed it.

Can you stay? I have some yeast cake left.

- No, grandma, I need to go. - Sure.

You're always roaming around town.

I don't know why.

Here, take this.

You look like an angel.

Keep pouring!

Darn, it's running over!

Guys, meet Bogusław.

Come on in!

- Hi. - Hi, “young guard”.

Małgonia, you were talking about a worm...

It's a “millennium worm” or something--

A bug, not a worm.

My boss told us to copy everything to floppy disks.

What for?

Computers will go crazy on New Year's Eve.

How come?

Computers may see two zeros as the year 2000 or 1900,

and everything will stop working.

The police as well?

Let's drink to that!

- To the bug disaster! - A beautiful one!

Mommy, I wet myself.

Excuse me.

Pour me one.

Will you stay with me?

What'd I say, Krystian?

Mama has guests. Go back to bed, now!

But you will come to me?

Later, sleep.

Come on, you want me to eat out of your hand?

So there's another man in your life.

Let's drink to our dear police!

Do you remember that case from Miłoszyce?

- Remember? - What case?

A girl was raped on New Year's Eve.

Yeah, I remember.

You've been sitting on it three years.

It's not that simple.

Over 300 people at that disco.

All of them were questioned.

- We have face sketches, expert opinions. - Yeah?

The guy who lives next door dated her.

But no one questioned him.

- Is that so? - Well, yes.

He borrowed money from me for tickets.

You don't say...

Holy shit...

So, another round?

Yeah.

- Going out like this? - Yes.

You're kidding. I ironed your shirt.

- You'll look like a human being. - Mom!

- It's too elegant. - No, it's not.

You need to dress nicely.

Give it to me.

You can't go on a date dressed like a slob.

Button up. No pulling faces.

See how nice you look?

Nice.

Mom?

I don't know what to say to her.

So I'll go with you?

I'm joking!

Be yourself. Everything will be fine.

You have a good heart.

You like your job, huh?

Yeah...

Is it difficult?

It depends.

On what?

You need to know the ropes.

And that means what exactly?

First the roof, hood,

then the sides and fenders.

You need the right cleaner,

microfiber towels to absorb water.

- Then you need to wax. - Why not an automatic car wash?

No way!

It scratches the paint. Ask your dad.

There are different kinds of upholstery, for example leather,

ozone generators, steam cleaners,

special brushes to remove dog hair...

or cat hair.

You'd like your own car wash?

Sure.

You'll have one.

I have to go.

You look...
