Bolero Page #3

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.

The baby's kicking!

Bit alert, isn't it! Two weeks after

the wedding and it is kicking already!

And what about your son?

- Danny? Imagine, he is only

in the second year of the university

and already he has his own exhibition.

This is his last masterpiece.

- Hm...

And what about Beata?

- That husband of hers, Turek,

if only he tried a little bit harder

like our son,

he wouldn't have been chucked out of the

faculty.

What with all our contacts...

- Yeah.

I must show you something.

Danny...

Mummy- beautiful, isn't it...

- Hm.

- That's beautiful!

...140 million

for the preparations of the summit.

- Mum, Mum, don't show the photos

damn it!

Give it here!

- Oh you...

Be careful, you'll spoil them!

- They found the girl!

Come and have a look!

- ... from Prague university

student halls V dolinach.

Police have been searching for her

since Friday 16th June 2000

when she didn't reach her home address.

Last time she was seen at a disco

at the named student halls V dolinach.

Missing student Marika Cihan

from Prague university student halls

V dolinach

was found by Police of Czech Republic

unfortunately drowned.

She was wearing a blue jumper

with a hood

and in her right ear one earring

with white stone.

Any information which could...

- Pretty, what a shame.

Further information is not to be

released by the investigation team.

It is clear however that...

- I don't know what is worse...

to be a mother of the victim

or of the murderer.

Have you heard it?

- Yeah, I've heard. Wait!

Hey, I've got the photos, but I bet

you don't want them now do you?

- Destroy them!

And the negatives, immediately!

- But wait, it...!

- I know you.

If the photos are any good,

you will start boasting

how wonderful you are.

- Why would I do that...

- Oh shut up!

Is that clear, do you understand?

Yeah, cool.

- Ciao.

- Ciao.

Edo, don't slam the door please!

- I know, Mum.

Mum is overdoing it a bit, isn't she?

Who was that woman?

Fetka mentioned her to Mum.

Her boy, I think, is washing the cars

at his place.

Single mother, looking for anything

that goes. You know our Mum.

- You gonna put an end to this

aren't you?

Just because of her stupid charity

we don't have to put up

with any old plebs!

God knows what she saw here!

- You're right.

What a sh*t!

We cannot rule out a casual kidnapping.

Pretty girl, on her own at the bus stop.

- Should we call somebody

from the vice squad?

I don't think so.

But the kidnappers -

there must have been at least two

of them.

Hi everybody!

- Hi!

I found the papers, Martin.

Here you can see similar signs

everywhere.

I shall explain later.

- Yeah, fine. Help yourself!

Neither can we rule out the possibility

that it was Docekal

who instigated the kidnapping

and your "Darling" is not involved

at all.

- According to our calculations

Jakub Docekal

could have easily returned to the Halls,

take the car

and go back to the bus stop.

- And what reason would he have?

- He loved the girl.

They were not an item but...

- But he didn't want Cihan to leave.

And then something could have happened,

what do I know.

I certainly wouldn't dismiss

this possibility.

- But he came over here

on his own accord.

- He must have known

that we would have found him anyway.

Yes? Yeah, Hrazdira speaking.

Both? Ok, we are on our way.

My dear colleague, we are going

to have a peep at that Brno boy

and you, Renata,

will look at Bolero, will you?

See who was Cihan seeing,

who was keen on her apart

from Docekal etc.

Oh, and please show

that identikit picture even to those

you spoke to already, will you?

Right!

Do you remember, how we had a bet

on a thousand interviews?

- Well, that was

a very optimistic prognosis.

Oh, Martin, in the canteen

they have those red apples

you like to buy for the kids.

- That's good of you but I must go

and see the boss.

Yeah.

Is he nervous?

- I don't know, we shall see.

Excuse me, please.

Jakub! Lucia! Uno!

Left i dos,

uno i dos!

Up and dos...

Why didn't you answer our appeal,

Miss Medek?

- Oh please,

I really don't know anything!

I've only been in Prague

since yesterday,

because we were invited to the Festival.

Otherwise we are free during

the summer time. So...

- But you were at the disco

at the time of...

- Yeah, that's true.

- ... at the time, when Marika vanished.

- She saw me taking Marika

to the bus stop.

Hm.

And did you also see him come back?

- But I didn't go back there!

Why would I?

I told you I went straight to the bar.

- Ok, that's all for now,

we've heard all this before.

Lucie, did you happen to notice

if Marika was wearing both earrings

at the disco?

- Hm, she did because one of them

kept undoing and I helped her fix it.

OK.

And did you happen to notice

if anybody was bothering her

or watching her?

I don't know, maybe a group of lads?

I honestly don't know.

I was with the other girls

in a totally different place.

She was dancing mainly with Jakub.

I thought you two were friends.

- Please, leave me alone,

I really don't know anything.

I feel absolutely terrible.

I know nothing at all.

Please leave me alone!

- Ok. Fine. You can go.

Thank you.

She didn't mention somebody

bothering her lately did she?

Patrik, we are investigating a murder!

- No, she didn't mention anything

like that.

Only that she was coming over.

- Did you feel she was seeing

somebody else in Prague?

Hm.

Apparently one of the boys

from the ensemble was a bit of a pain.

Jakub.

Lucka told me, her room mate.

She was originally going out

with Jakub but he dumped her.

For Marika.

And you were jealous, weren't you?

- She called and said she was coming

straight after the disco.

She was crazy about dancing.

It meant more to her than anything else

in the world.

Does your family own a car?

Registration and colour, please.

We have a white Skoda Felicia.

Can you drive?

So you decided to go to Prague

and check on the guy from Bolero,

didn't you?

- Hmh! You are totally crazy!

My girlfriend just got murdered and you,

instead of...

Calm down, calm down!

- My parents had the car and they went

with my sister to see our granny.

- And what about a friend -

couldn't somebody lend you his car

or give you a lift?

- No.

I was waiting for her

on the midnight train.

Did anybody see you?

- I asked a railwayman when was the next

express train from Prague.

- Would you be able to describe him?

How did he look?

Small, old, in the uniform.

- When we found Marika,

she was wearing only one earring.

You don't have the other one, do you?

What's going on?

You - at home?

They cancelled the meeting.

We found on Cihan's jumper

light hair,

most probably dog's hair

and some longish coarse hair.

And the water which was found

in her lungs is not the same

as the water of the place

where she was found.

Therefore her body must have floated

downstream.

- So she was alive when they dumped her

in the water.
