Bolero Page #2

Synopsis: A psychological crime drama based on actual events of the not-too-distant past. A group of university students thought it would be entertaining to abduct girls and gang rape them. Out of fear, none of the victims talked. A female student, however, didn't want to remain silent. The kidnappers drew lots to decide which of them would become a murderer. At dawn they dragged the girl (Barbora Seidlová) off to a lake and drowned her. They terrified the witnesses and severed all contact among themselves. It took the police several years to find the necessary clues. In the meantime, some of the perpetrators began raising families, even became model citizens. Their parents used every means possible to fight the evidence, heedless of the victims' suffering, motivated only by the need to save their children, their reputations, their position in society.

This situation is simply impossible!

THE POLICE ARE SEARCHING IN VAIN

FOR A LOST STUDEN

It's terrible, isn't it?

- Oh Beata, you shouldn't read

this stuff now.

Baby boy? Baby girl?

...is 187cm high, medium frame.

He has brown eyes and brown/black hair.

Police are still searching

for this girl.

Her name is Marika Cihan, she is

twenty years old and studying first year

at the medical faculty of university

in Prague.

Witnesses last saw her on Thursday

at a disco party and later, after 10 pm,

at the bus stop by the Prague student

halls of residence called Doliny.

- Edo? Did you have

the apricot dumplings?

- There she was seen having an argument

with un-known men and possibly left

in big saloon car...

- Mr Fetka from the garage rang.

Apparently you left the job.

I couldn't stand it there anymore.

- But why?

Are you listening to me?

What are you going to do now?

Good job your granny isn't alive

to see this!

- Mum...

- ... and brown shoulder length hair.

Any information about missing

Marika Cihan

- Poor girl.

- or light coloured saloon car

can be given at any police station.

- Who knows where these missing people

end up...

- Mum for goodness sake,

please leave me alone!

...witnesses last saw her on Thursday

by the university student's halls

called V Dolinach.

There she was seen having an argument

with unknown men

and leaving in a light coloured

saloon car.

The car's lights were dimmed,

only side lights were on.

- Hang on, that's about that girl

- Police are investigating

- from the first year.

- if she left willingly

- Maybe they found her!

- or was forced.

All information about the saloon car

or missing Marika Cihan

should be given at any police station

or you can call 158.

I don't want to listen to the radio.

Good morning.

Yes, that's ok, this way please.

Yeah, the bike is his.

Come in please.

- Good morning!

- Good morning.

Good morning.

Right, what did you come to tell us,

Mr Docekal?

- I heard everything on the news

in the pub today.

- Could you describe the evening please?

Who was interested in her?

- Exactly! There was this guy who was

after Marika.

He called her Darling.

We nearly had a fight.

When and where did it happen?

- At the hall's gate. Marika went

to her room to pick up her stuff.

I was following her.

And they blocked my way.

There were more of them there.

Would you recognize them?

Him definitely.

- In Prague we shall make an identikit

picture with you.

- But to the bus stop,

it was you who went with her.

- I didn't want her to go

to that Brno boy.

Why didn't you?

- She is with him only out of the pity,

so why prolong it.

- So you went back to the halls

to pick up a car

and returned to the bus stop.

- I don't have a car.

- On your way to the halls -

did you see by any chance

a light coloured big saloon car?

It had only side lights on.

No.

- And that guy- you didn't see him

at the disco when you went back there?

- I didn't go back there.

I went straight to the bar.

- And you didn't see him in the bar

either.

No.

He definitely wasn't there.

Good morning.

- Good morning.

Good morning.

- I only want to inform you,

that we were not here.

We were attending a week's training

course

at the campsite at the Luznice river.

The whole fourth year.

Weren't we, Rosta?

- Yeah.

Ok, one by one please.

How about you.

Come on!

llona Fetka.

- We were attending the massage course.

- Hm.

You can check the attendance record.

OK.

- Well, we didn't learn any erotic

massages,

you can learn those from life experience

if you have any talent!

- And you don't know who was at the club

that night?

Do you think I am a clairvoyant?

What room number are you?

Here you are.

But I shall not go back till

after the holidays.

That's fine.

Please sign here.

- Good bye!

- Good bye!

Good bye!

Well and what was that about?

A dream of a sole survivor

on the desert island.

It looks they found her.

Only a few questions, please...

- No, no, please. Thank you.

We shall take you home.

Paul...

I've got a car here.

I'd rather we took you back.

I shall get in touch.

I need to talk to Magda anyway.

Paul...

I pro... I promise...

According to the biopsy

the body has been lying in the water

for six to eight days.

The victim died undoubtedly as a result

of foul play.

Cause of death drowning.

I do apologise. I was...

Thank you.

So:
initial stage of decay

has taken place

and it is impossible to determine

any signs of sexual abuse.

The dead girl was wearing a blue jumper,

bottom part of her body was exposed.

Her father has identified her.

He also recognised her jumper

and jewellery.

One earring was missing.

- Have a look at the archive for murders

of young women in the last three years.

What have we got?

- So the dancer Jakub Docekal had

a fight with the Darling.

- That is a nickname for the bloke

who was bothering Marika.

- We tried to create his portrait

with Jakub Docekal.

He is adamant that he would recognise

him in real life.

- Who did Marika share the room with

at the halls?

With Lucie Medek.

She is currently abroad.

- We interviewed some students.

But apart from a few,

we only managed to speak to those

who were at the one week training course

at the Luznice river camp

at the time of the disco.

- At least we could eliminate those

who did not attend the disco.

Well, so what now?

Hm, we don't have much.

Lovely tan - where have you been?

We've been to Ibiza.

It was amazing!

Take it to the door for her, please.

- Yes, of course.

So, bye darling.

- Ciao, caio.

- Here you are.

- Thanks, bye!

Have a good time!

So, young man, where to now?

- Take me to Jevany, please.

No, you are wrong,

it was not her.

Hi Dad, aren't you at work?

- So how was it? I am not asking

about the holiday!

- I wanted to go back to tidy up,

but you took the car.

Did you take Izabela there?

She went mad didn't she?

- How many were there this time

for Christ sake?

- Is it so important?

It never bothered you before.

You keep telling me to have a good time

while I can,

before I marry some bird...

- But this time you've gone

a bit too far.

You left a filthy carpet in the car,

covered in sand,

washing lines on the terrace broken!

What did you need the washing lines for?

Calm down, please.

Dany wanted the girls to tie him up.

Oh, to tie him up!

- And then we went for a swim

so we needed the carpet.

You don't want the sand everywhere while

you're at it.

You take Izabela there too, don't you?

Artik, hi!

- Hi!

- Hi, big man, Artur, so how was it?

What about Zhaneta?

Come on, I made beef in dill sauce.

Let's have a chat.

So hot here...

Couldn't they buy you some better place

to live?

As long as they are sitting

on their arses in the posh villa!

What are you moaning about, you...?

Come here, come here!

It's all their fault!

The baby should have some peace,

hm, come on...

Hello? Hi Mum.

No.

I am a bit emotional.
