Illusion (Iluzja)

Listen up!

I have a question: do you know

what is the largest known living organism on Earth?

A zebra?

A whale. Or an elephant.

Whales are the largest,

but they're not fish, they're mammals.

Yes, but it's the largest living animal.

And what do you think is the largest living organism?

The largest examined living organism on Earth is Pando.

Have you heard of Pando?

You haven't?

But not a panda bear,

it's Pando with a capital P.

This is Pando.

- A forest? - Yes.

It's a colony of aspen trees in the USA.

It's a singular living organism.

It encompasses a gigantic area,

there are over 40000 stems,

it weights almost 600 million kilograms,

and perhaps is almost a million years old. Can you imagine?

Try to imagine.

All those stems come from one gigantic root, like

five fingers stem from my hand,

or thousands of hairs from my head, and I am still a single living organism.

It's the same, just one living organism.

And it means that if someone walks through that forest...

they believe they are surrounded by thousands of trees.

In reality, though, he's surrounded by one and the same tree.

Excuse me for a moment, I'll be right back.

Over a year, exactly!

You're a fucking fraud.

What happened?

I saw you arguing with the detective yesterday.

Yes, a bit. Why?

Why didn't you tell me anything?

What for?

But he's collecting evidence, he's making progress...

He isn't anymore. He's out of ideas.

He's already eaten half of our mortgage on expenses.

Please, tell me everything.

Sure.

Maybe we'll go to a real estate agency?

We could sell what's left of the house, move somewhere, change the address.

One of my patients happens to work in a real estate agency.

Pull over, please, I need to get out.

Piotr!

The phone!

Hello?

Good morning, Piotr, it's Janina here...

Good morning...

I'm calling off the record...

I have a question. Would you like to come to the crime scene inspection?

Maybe this time we'll wait till we know more...

Of course, I'm doing this for you.

Janina, and you're not sure it's about our daughter?

- No, but... - You're not.

We will be there.

He's already in prison for murder.

There, he confessed to another.

For now, he didn't give any details, so ... we have no hard evidence.

Yeah?

Is it here?

It's freezing.

It's freezing.

As I promised...

Thank you so much.

So, Chief, what are we doing?

Go after him.

Let's go.

Hello?

Good evening, I'm sorry for calling at this hour.

I found your number in the ad.

Your daughter hasn't been found yet, has she?

No, unfortunately...

She came to me in a dream.

She said she's far away and that she's all right.

She's alive, she just can't come back.

She didn't say why.

She only asked me to tell her family.

She was smiling at me the whole time.

But did she give you any details?

A phone number or where she is?

But she came in a dream...

Of course.

Thank you very much.

Goodnight.

- Yes? - Hello?

Hanna Wróblewska, I'd like to see Adam.

He's not home.

You shouldn't have accused him of killing her.

But I didn't accuse him, I was saying he loved her

and he couldn't have done anything to her.

Can you tell him I'd like to contact him?

But you know where he currently is?

I don't know.

Can you at least tell him that I'm still looking?

And I could use his help.

Put it away, ok?

- I'm talking to you. - We're done.

Give it to me, please.

Maybe that's your daughter?

Look. My daughter disappeared.

I'd rather no one joked about that. Do you understand?

I'm sorry.

I am sorry.

I'm sorry, everyone.

Karolina?

No, sorry, you're her mother.

I know you from a photo.

And how is she?

I just came back from volunteering in Peru.

Karolina claimed I wouldn't last there for so long, but I managed.

I just need to get examined for any crap I could've caught.

But you know, you never know what's hiding inside.

Magda!

I'm sorry, I have to go.

Where do you live now?

In a student house on Litewska Street.

Say hello to Karolina and tell her it'd be nice to meet up.

From Magda.

Goodbye.

Please, come in.

I wanted to tell you that Karolina...

Yes...

I already know.

I am really sorry.

Do you have any idea where she could be?

No, unfortunately.

Did you know each other well?

Just from that club. We chatted sometimes, said our hellos and that's it.

She also had a fish tank.

Thank you.

Piotr?

You're back? Good.

I'm back.

That's good.

You already said so.

Have you thought about that move?

I haven't.

You'll feed her when she comes back.

Maybe we should stop pretending about the reality?

And how is it?

You know, you're our fifth clairvoyant.

Your colleagues pointed to odd places,

we were running around through various bushes and railways,

and it was rather cruel, you know?

Yes, but Mr. Marcin works with the police.

Unofficially.

Besides, usually the families come to me themselves.

Have you ever helped anyone?

How did you do it?

So, it's somewhere here.

Yes, she went to college in the morning, but never got there.

Several people saw her here that day.

We don't know why exactly here. And then we know nothing more.

So, this is the place of her last mental trace.

Sure, a mental trace.

I can't explain it to you.

If a piece of information appears in the world, it stays there.

It cannot stop existing.

Even in the middle of a black hole.

We've been here several times.

There's been dogs, the news, the TV...

No one's found anything of interest.

Just a minute, please.

What if it was your husband?

If he knows where the body is?

I 'd like to guide you in this direction.

Such things happen within families.

And that's all you can think of at the moment?

This is absolute nonsense.

What's up?

Mister says you killed Karolina, so you know where the body is, right?

Piotr, but you can't be upset about this.

Please! We know it's absurd!

Wait, Piotr!

Stop, please!

Hold up, Piotr!

I'm sorry, Hania, but I can't do it anymore.

What?

I can't anymore. I'm exhausted.
