I think it's obvious.

That guy Sndor...

I don't think he's got all his marbles.

The way he's all over the women,

and the mating powder and all.

You see? He's a sex maniac.

What do you think?

Isn't it logical?

Yeah, it's a good idea.

Then, we might want to tell the cops, no?

- Could you return my tray?

- You're the one in contact with them...

Well, in my dream, I was a deer again

like every night, for a while now.

Well, and...

There was this doe.

- Where?

- Well, in a forest.

Actually...

It really was kind of a strange place.

Beside a small, round lake.

I've never seen such a small lake before.

I mean, in real life.

How about you?

What nice things did you dream?

This.

- What?

- The same as you.

You're just saying that.

No.

I don't believe you.

That's okay...

I wrote it down.

Sorry.

Well, see you tonight then.

Tell me... Why did you run away?

I looked for you at the lake too.

Are you angry?

Hello, doctor.

You look really pretty today.

Looks like the boss thinks so too.

Excuse me. Just a professional question...

...I said your legs are hairy,

but he said they aren't...

Coffee?

- May I come in just this once?

- No, you may not.

Come on...

You know

that it's against the regulations to...

We'll just have our coffee together

and I'm gone.

Is that all right?

I'd just like to discuss something

with you.

You shouldn't take that guy Sndor

seriously.

Okay.

Men sometimes talk a load of nonsense.

What did he say to you?

Never mind. It's not important.

Here is my phone number.

And I will enter yours.

I don't have one.

I didn't mean to impose.

Anyhow...

I really didn't mean to impose.

That's not how I am.

And what did you say?

That I have no phone.

- So what's it supposed to mean?

- What do you think?

Perhaps he didn't believe me

for some reason.

Very good.

And could you explain why?

Maybe I used the wrong tone of voice.

Or I forgot to make eye contact.

No, I made eye contact, I remember.

His pupils contracted.

Look, these days

everyone has a cell phone.

Maybe that was the reason.

It's strange for me

that you talk to me so formally.

Well, Marika...

You're a real, grownup woman now.

It's strange for me too.

Maybe I could give you the number

of a colleague who works with adults.

Or simply buy yourself a phone.

Hello. You came down early today.

Bon apptit.

I'm buying a phone tomorrow.

You've got a phone.

You just think I'm old

and my arm is crippled.

It makes me feel really bad.

I think you are beautiful.

I don't believe you.

You can see in three signs

if someone's lying.

Shall I teach you too?

Okay.

Number one:
the pupils.

If the pupils dilate...

Pupils dilate according to light changes,

don't try and make a fool of me.

I know why you're angry with me.

I'm not angry.

Today I went to...

Today someone explained to me...

I don't care what you discussed about me.

You probably laughed at me.

He said you are angry with me

because you must be jealous.

Is it true? Are you really jealous?

Yes.

I think you fancy that worker,

that Sndor.

You are mistaken.

Come on!

You're wrong. I'm afraid of him.

Is that... true?

It is.

Then everything's all right again, right?

I'm totally stressed.

Why?

Forget it.

Listen...

Back in the day, did you screw my wife?

Christ.

So you did.

I know she's slept with half the factory.

And Sndor's on the agenda now.

Come on.

I'm not a complete idiot.

Whatever.

We worked through this already.

You got an aspirin?

Hello.

You came down early today.

It's 1:
30.

I didn't come early.

I'm buying a phone tomorrow.

Then buy one.

I think you are beautiful.

I can't believe this.

- What's going on? Did you hook up?

- Are you crazy?

Why exactly do you have

mating powder at a slaughterhouse?

Well, it's not really legal

but not illegal either.

Sometimes we help with mating.

Private deals, no papers.

But it's not a whole lot of money.

It's not making us rich or anything.

- You can report it if you want.

- No way.

Don't worry, just...

I just couldn't fit the pieces together.

The meat was really yummy...

Bla...

The usual.

Hey, boss!

What did the cop want?

What are you doing?

You're still on the clock.

You're my dad now? It's nice.

Return to work.

Don't make me say it again.

What'll happen if you say it again?

Are you gonna beat me up?

Quit this job, son.

Before you get into real trouble.

What are you talking about? What trouble?

I know you did it.

You despised me from the start.

You're right. Smart boy.

I don't ask you that often!

That's not what I said.

What do you spend money on

besides smokes?

You never even have

a crust of bread at home.

I stopped smoking four years ago.

All the more, then.

Listen, kid, that's my business.

Look, the situation is this...

Will you get it?

Yes? Hello?

I bought a phone.

- Is this a bad time?

- No, it's fine.

Would you call me tonight?

We could fall asleep together.

Well, that's a great idea.

It really is.

Tonight, then.

- Who was that?

- A colleague. You don't know her.

Hello?

- Yes?

- Good evening.

- Well, I'm going to bed now.

- All right, then.

I've already taken my sleeping pill.

I usually fall asleep pretty quickly.

Look, one more thing...

You don't have to be afraid of me. I...

Sorry, forget it...

I know I'm a little ridiculous.

Sleep well.

It was beautiful.

We could go out for lunch tomorrow.

Let me invite you

to my old favorite place.

Hello.

Well, did you find anything?

Just one person, but, you know,

it's not actual proof of a crime.

Who is it?

Jen Vri.

The HR manager.

Are you surprised?

Are you 100% sure?

In my profession, you can't ever

really say you're 100% sure.

But... it's a very strong possibility.

Here is my report.

Shall I forward them to the police?

No need. We'll do it.

- Did you give us your invoice?

- Yes, yes, sure.

Thank you for coming in personally.

Good-bye.

Just out of professional curiosity...

Your colleague's dream...

Did a similar coincidence

ever happen again?

I suppose you compared dreams

since then...

No. We didn't compare.

Good-bye.

So it really was a joke?

You arranged it beforehand?

Yes, that's exactly what happened.

I'm sorry, it was a childish idea.

I apologize.

Good-bye.

Well...

what did the great shrink come up with?

Nothing much.

How come?

She thinks it was Sndor too.

Seriously?

So what now? Do we fire him?

What do you think?

Will you tell the cops?

I suppose. I'll call them tomorrow.

Right, of course.

These tests...They don't mean much.

It was stupid to do it in the first place.

Whose idea was it anyway?

I think it was mine.

Sorry.

Well...

It wasn't Sndor.

No?

I know it wasn't him.

Really?

It was me.

I don't know what got into me.

I just got fed up.

Yeah, it happens.

Sometimes you just get fed up.

So then...

What now?

Nothing. Don't do it again.

- But...

- No one got hurt.

They just had a weird night, that's all.

The police will close the case
