A BARTOSZ NOWACKI FILM
STARRING
ON THE ROAD
- Where are you headed? - Not your way, I'm afraid.
My car's broken. I need a lift to a garage.
Sorry, I'm in a hurry.
- Are you okay? - I'm good.
Will you give me a ride? I started to lose hope.
- To a garage? - Yes.
Damn!
Seems like you might need it too.
Okay.
How did you get ahead of me?
Some guy picked me up.
And he left you in the middle of the woods?
Not quite.
So?
He had to turn back.
So urgently?
I've seen no broken car on my way.
I left it on the other side of the forest. The road's much busier here.
- Why did he have to turn back? - Do you have a cigarette?
I don't smoke.
Check the glove compartment.
My husband smokes. It's his car.
Your husband?
I see no ring.
A sensitive topic, isn't it?
I know more interesting ones.
- You aren't going to pick him up, are you? - Put yourself in his position.
- I was in his position a moment ago. - Precisely.
People have no heart. I've been trying to catch a ride for an hour.
There are exceptions.
What are you doing here in such weather?
Did your car break down on the other side of the forest?
I don't have a car.
What are you doing out here?
I need to get to the town, to my wife.
It's our anniversary today.
To your wife?
Yes.
As you see there are exceptions.
We were talking about relationships.
- Something wrong with them? - Sometimes they cause problems.
- Let professionals handle them. - To make them worse, or solve them?
I meant therapists.
You never tried it?
Do you think we're a couple?
Nice car.
I love women in big cars.
I associate them... with power and domination.
A bit like a dog that resembles its owner.
The choice might be unconscious, but it reflects the character.
- It's her husband's car. - But I picked it.
Did you really think we were a couple?
- Something seemed wrong. - Like what?
- Personality clash. - What is my personality like, then?
Self-confident and classy.
- Just like you? - Like a dog that resembles its owner.
Dogs are usually faithful.
What's going on?
I think I've got a flat tire.
- I didn't hear anything. - I did hear some thumping.
I'll check it.
- What are you doing here?! - I didn't know you were here.
Yours is the other side of the forest!
- We can fucking swap if you want. - Not my fault there's no traffic there.
- You could've blown our cover! - Let's do our job and wrap up.
Did you bump into her, or did she just stop?
- Where did you get that ring? - Cool, isn't it?
So the gas station was your job?
He got what he deserved.
- What's up? - Everything's okay. We may go.
"There's no time. Either you do it, or I will".
- I'm thirsty. Can we stop off at a store? - As soon as we see one.
There is one nearby.
It's odd that you should know where the stores is, but not a garage.
I haven't needed one so far.
"Tell her you need to take a piss. It's your last chance."
I'll be right back.
- Let's fucking take off. - Wait.
For what?
We may get a nice bonus.
Is it a joke?
I don't know about you, but I'm fucking splitting.
- Get the fuck out of the car! - Remember who got you on the job.
Where is she?
She must be peeing.
Are we going to fucking sit here?
- Where are you going? - For a walk.
What's up?
Did you see her?
Give me the keys.
Where is she?
The keys!
Fuck!
- What? - Can you believe this?
Good afternoon. Traffic police.
Your driving license, and car papers, please.
Something wrong?
Your papers, please.
Your driving license, Mr. Mariusz.
It's our friend's car. His wife let us use it.
Where is she now?
Get out!
Mr. Mariusz, too.
What are you doing here?
We had to piss.
Both of you?
There's a gas station nearby.
You'd better get me that driving license...
Mr. Mariusz.
Cars have been robbed on this road lately.
And someone got murdered today.
We've also had a call about a missing person, and car theft.
Open the trunk.
The trunk!
- On the ground! - Oh, fuck!
Get down!
Freeze, or I'll shoot you!
Would you give me a ride, please?
