BOLERO:
The person you are calling
is not available, please call later.
Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Are you Marika's father?
- Yes.
- I am Lucie Medek. Hello.
- Cihan.
- But Marika has left.
- To see Patrik?
Yeah, last night.
We had a farewell disco and she didn't
even stay till the end -
so that she could catch the train.
You know,
the buses from here to the
station go only three times an hour
during the night.
- Did anybody go with her or was she on
her own?
- Well... she went alone to her room,
but after that - I don't know.
Excuse me, I have to go,
otherwise I'll miss the train, so...
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- See you then!
Hrazdira speaking!
- Hi, it's Paul.
- Hi!
- I am just passing.
- How can I help?
- Marika vanished.
Can I drop by?
Lunatic!
Hang on, this is a job
of the local police, where she lives.
Have you been there?
- I don't even know where it is.
That's why I am here.
- Paul, majority of the missing persons
disappear simply because they want to.
I don't know, she could have
met somebody, visited somebody...
- Hi, Martin!
- Hi, hi!
- I've found it.
It's on your desk, ok?
- Ok, thanks.
Shall we go for a swim today?
- Sorry.
Definitely. At eight.
- Ok. I shall call for you.
- You don't have to, I'll come over.
- Bye.
- Ok.
- I...
I know Marika.
She wouldn't tell her boyfriend
she was coming over
and then leave him waiting
at the station.
At one in the morning.
No, no, no! Even if she had something
else on, she would have rung him.
She is not answering her mobile.
Not even my calls.
- We'll wait till the morning shall we?
- I don't think so...
- Would you like some coffee?
No, thank you.
She didn't have any reason to tell
her girlfriend that she is going to see
her boyfriend of one year
and then not go.
No! No way!
Something must have happened!
Please...
Hey, don't you remember few years ago
at the excursion to...
Well, what was her name? Hanka! She
disappeared and two days later...
- But... But Marika is no Hanka!
- Paul, please!
- No, something must have happened
to her!
But you know I only deal with murders.
Ok, come on then, somebody will have
a look at it, let's go.
Sorry, the traffic was terrible.
Have you got her photo with you?
Pretty.
Really very pretty.
Wow, what a beautiful day!
Shall we go for a swim?
Come on!
On our way back.
Lubos, last night after ten the duty
officers had a report.
Some old biddy rang that she heard
a woman's scream.
Something like "let me go!
Leave me alone!"
Yeah, but they ignored it and nobody
went over to investigate,
because they were too busy and thought
that some girl was only playing hard
to get to be a bit more interesting.
- Where did it happen?
- Exactly! At the bus stop
by the students halls of residence.
So we'll go and have a look, shall we?
Ok, so what did you really hear
that night, Mrs Ljubka?
- Right, wait a minute, wait a minute,
where is it.
I must put my other pair of eyes on!
Oh, here! Here we go!
Let me go, what are you doing?!
Leave me alone!
She was also calling for help.
Help! Heeeeelp!
You see, I can't sleep
so I make preserves
and all of a sudden I hear this scream.
- And this happened when the disco
finished?
- No.
Before.
I made a note of the time.
Right, the time...
Ah, here it is please.
Have a look, 22:
15.Here you are!
You are a real detective,
Also, I saw the car.
It was leaving the bus stop
and the lights were very dimmed.
Like only those... those...
... side lights.
That's strange, isn't it? What do you
think? That's really strange!
Could you see any people?
- At the bus stop?
- Yeah, or nearby.
- No, no, only before.
- When before? Who?
Who! A girl and a boy.
They were arguing.
He wanted to take her bag.
Could you describe them?
- Right, I haven't noticed the colour
of the eyes.
You know, at night
and all that distance...
But slim, firm breasts,
hair all the way down here...
She had a big bag over her shoulder
and he was tall, slim
and I think they had serious row.
But the car and that scream,
that happened after.
Did he go back to the student halls?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Which direction did the car come from?
- Registration!
Colour! Type.
Of the car!
to the police the same night
and you only turn up now!
And then you want to find something
or sort something out!
I don't know!
Big saloon type.
Massive, foreign
and seriously expensive.
Osvald! Osvald!
You know what, sod your Artur!
All the food and booze is gone
and serious mess!
Oh this is gross! Somebody puked
in the bathroom!
- You are seriously reminding me
of my wife - that's not why you're here.
So no comment please!
You can be vile!
Disco, she said.
That can be at least hundred interviews!
Or maybe at least few hundred!
Or maybe few thousand!
Right now, when I was trying to take
a holiday!
- You know what Renda?
Take a car and time the distance
from the bus stop
to the halls of residence.
I shall do the same walking, ok?
- From the bus stop to the halls?
- From the bus stop to the halls.
You bastard!
What's the matter?
But it is not mine.
So I think, that it could be over here
on this side.
Wait!
Here, look
- But...
- Yeah?
- Hang on! But they are all odd.
- Well, they are all odd, aren't they?
- Well, odd.
- Yeah.
And we are going to...?
- We are going to...?
- Well, that's over there!
Come in.
My husband isn't in.
He took some time off driving around
to find her.
Please sit down.
Thank you.
He went to see a medium.
Marika is somewhere near Prague.
Somewhere about 20 kilometres away,
but she cannot get out.
It is good you put in on TV.
At least you find her quicker,
won't you?
You usually find the missing persons,
don't you?
She is in an ensemble.
She dances samba, flamenco, bolero.
We went to see her.
Here she is five years old.
That was at my sister's wedding.
- Pretty.
- Even then she could dance beautifully.
Mrs Cihan, how did she get on
with her boyfriend?
- With Patrik?
They love each other very much.
but in Brno.
They don't see much of each other.
Well, he is in Brno, and she in Prague.
But they write a lot.
Mrs Ljubka.
- And we shall need some contact
Where is Artur?
- Him and Zhaneta took the last minute
trip to Ibiza.
By the way, he was asking about the car.
Well of course he was!
Did you have a good time?
Yeah, and you?
I am always having a good time.
Osvald, you should buy him a car
for his graduation.
