Bolero Page #4

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.

Yeah.

The current could have carried her body

from about here, not from any further,

because there is only very little water

up there,

the whole area is a recreational ground.

I think they brought her somewhere here.

Oh, what about Patrik?

I think we can forget him.

- We have a statement

from the night express railwayman.

- And his folks really had the car

that evening.

So this is all we have in half a year!

- Could it be some kind of a shrine?

- Everything points to that damn disco.

- We can practically eliminate

casual kidnapping,

as well as personal motive

like jealousy.

- According to the psychologist neither

deviants nor ritual murder.

They killed her to shut her up.

- They must have been young

otherwise they would have been noticed

in the club.

Yeah, definitely the driver.

Boys from better families.

All witnesses are describing

the big saloon car as a very posh one.

Of course, they could have nicked it.

- Maybe they left the country or stopped

seeing each other.

Sorry.

Yes? No, not now...

I can't now.

I'll ring you in a minute, ok?

Definitely.

- Sorry, Martin, but I need

the young ones at the criminal squad.

I am not removing them completely,

when they have a minute

they can help you.

Ok?

What?

- And on top of everything Cihan rang,

if we have any news.

Sh*t!

Sorry.

- It's ok.

Thanks.

- Don't talk about Marika

as if she was dead.

But...

She still brings her sandwiches.

Marika used to call in when she went

to Prague.

It was on her way.

Magda, I need to know,

who were Marika's friends,

what she liked to do,

where she liked to go.

Where she likes to go.

Well dancing of course!

Hm, yeah.

She prefers dancing to anything.

Does a name Jakub Docekal ring a bell?

And going to the lake.

She loves swimming,

since she was a little girl.

Last time she rang she said

she was going swimming to the lake

with her girlfriend.

But even there she took her books

to study.

They have so much work.

- I used to take scripts to the lake

in the old days.

This is for Marika for Christmas.

In Bolero you didn't tell my colleague

that you used to go swimming

with Marika.

She didn't ask.

We have witnesses.

Did anybody try to get friendly with her

there?

I would have noticed.

Lucie, please concentrate.

Have you noticed some familiar faces

from the lake at the disco.

Izabela found this in the sofa.

What can you tell me about it?

Dad please understand,

she was an unbelievable b*tch!

She kept shouting

that she will report us.

She would have done it!

She would have destroyed us all,

even you!

All that is ahead of us,

all you have worked for...

You big-headed d*ckheads! D*ckheads!

If you can't figure out a girl

who is up for it!

She could have enjoyed it.

Not one of them was making such a fuss.

They liked it and kept quiet.

Yeah!

She had no fear!

Even you say:
failure is a problem

of the weak individuals.

Please...!

And I fight with all my guns.

It was her fault.

We gave her a chance.

- Is there anything that can give you

away? Or anybody?

Or that, that arsehole? That...

- Not a chance.

They can't find anything.

We stopped seeing each other.

This time we didn't take any pictures

or used the video camera.

And even if we did, we are not mental,

we would have got rid of it.

Basically, there is no evidence.

- You will change your lifestyle

from scratch!

I asked Zhaneta to marry me.

Yeah, and right there I was sitting

till the very morning,

till about two or four in the morning

in that archive.

Crazy!

You'd have to be there!

Stop! Hey!

That's a new...

- What is it?

...company car!

- That's great!

- Yeah!

- Renda, you are incredible!

- Yeah!

You are so incredible!

Wait, don't fit it yet,

I am taking you for a coffee.

Let's go!

- Super.

- Thanks.

Hi!

- Hi!

You made my day!

Tell Igor to come over here.

I am selling the car.

You'll take it to Fetka. I spoke to him.

- Such a nice car.

Isn't it a pity?

- Shut your mouth!

You will bring a new 4 x 4.

And then give me a ring!

For Saturday you will organize

a barbecue in our country cottage.

Make a list.

Dipl. eng. Aksman with his wife,...

You must have gone mad!

...and his son,

Mr and Mrs Patucek,...

The Patuceks?

They need me.

...Zhaneta Langr,

Izabela Belus,...

- So what am I supposed to tell

your wife:
Good evening, Mrs Regina,

what splendid jewels you are wearing

tonight!?

The bigger the sin...

- I was thinking she looked

like a Christmas Tree.

- Put Igor on the list too.

- I can't stand him.

That's your problem.

Osvald?

Why don't you knock this on the head?

Sometimes it is a bit difficult.

We have almost nothing.

Student halls, Bolero, disco, lake,

lots of people everywhere

but nobody has been anywhere,

seen anything,

nothing to go on.

And that Darling,

he probably doesn't even exist.

The boys have been running

with identikit picture

around all the student

halls and discos and nothing.

The gang is unknown.

- Most probably they have been

to that club only once.

Never before and certainly never after.

Maybe they went there

because of Cihan.

Martin, what about your wife?

Has she changed her mind?

No.

Good job she left the kids with me.

Luckily the boys were twelve

so they are quite independent

and my daughter is quite a help.

So you think that they picked out Marika

beforehand?

A PICNIC AT THE AKSMANS'

A PICNIC AT THE AKSMANS', ARTUR'S

ENGAGEMENT PARTY, COTTAGE AT ORLIK

Excuse me, excuse me, please,

do you happen to be Mr Cihan?

Yes I do.

I shall never forget your faces.

I remember you from TV,

when they did the interview

before they found your little girl.

I heard her scream

when she was waiting

at the bus stop.

Well, they did ask me the details,

you know, they did.

But Marika hasn't got a grave.

How come?

- Well, we just come here

every All Saint's Day.

- Paul!

- Excuse me, please.

Postulka speaking.

I don't know, really don't know...

- Ok, thanks then.

Hi Renda, please do you remember...

No.

Stefan! Stefan!

Is it you?

It's happened a long time ago.

No! I pray for her.

I forgave her.

Because Jesus said:

"Love your enemies and pray for those

who trespass against us. ".

I have never ever experienced

anything so disgusting!

I haven't either, you ass!

Forget I exist, is that clear!

It's for my belly button, is it?

Artur!

Beauty, very good, beauty!

That's it, that's it, great!

That's sensational!

Look at me properly, that's it.

You don't love me, that's what it is!

You don't love me at all,

that's it, wonderful, let's try it!

That's the way, great!

Let's try and hold it.

Great, wonderful.

Look at me! Properly!

What a nice little b*tch you are, yeah!

Keep looking at me, straight at me

and try to put the torch

between your breasts.

Right.

A bit lower...

That's it.

And lift yourself!

Stretch that arm, that's it.

- Hey, that's a good trick.

Who taught you that?

One old witch did.

But that is a long time ago,
