- Come on...

- No "come on", I said no.

The salesman swore on Allah it's real.

And that's why

we're from two different worlds.

I appreciate the gesture,

it must have cost

a half of your salary.

My grandma would call you romantic.

Gallant.

You're nice, really,

but sorry.

You'll be chasing me.

Yeah!

Only if I catch my scarf

in the door of your car.

Do you have a car?

You're not helping yourself

with those answers.

[Mushroom Killer]

[Maria, athlete's foot is not the end of the world - Mushroom Killer]

[Free Will Estate]

[Goria, don't put off a decision to start a family indefinitely]

[More space will give you wings]

[Free Will Estate]

There are already signs of the emergence

of very dangerous diseases

which haven't been seen

in Europe for a long time.

Cholera on Greek islands,

dysentery in Vienna

various types of parasites, protozoans,

which aren't dangerous

in the organisms of these people

but which could be dangerous here.

I remember every word,

your every smile.

Today, I noticed the first gray hair

on your temple...

It moved me immensely

I still remember the day, when...

I saw you for the first time

So quiet and cheerful.

Look at the gossamer

Silver threads floating in the air.

Like clouds...

We can bang like this sometimes

For sport.

And then you hold me and let me go.

It's not personal.

If I find someone who gives me

sense of security, I'll follow him

even to the edge of the world,

but it's not you.

I'd better go now.

Thanks for the orgasm.

Try to get more comfortable, loosen up and relax.

Don't be as stiff as a poker.

Relax, just relax.

Now, look at the wall in front of you

and search for a space

where you can visualize a big triangle.

Then imagine there's a circle

inside that triangle.

If the image inside your mind

starts to blur,

try again patiently and calmly.

Stay watchful and focused.

Triangle with a circle.

Triangle with a circle.

Again and again.

If it's possible, try not to blink.

Close your eyes.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

Come on doggy,

let's go.

Come on.

While breathing out imagine

that the number three appears

in front of you three times.

While repeating in your head:

three, three, three.

Do it now.

Breathe in,

breathe in.

And when you breathe out

Three!

Three!

Three!

Relax now.

If any of your muscles are tensed,

It's not enough to think about them,

You have to relax them.

Relax the muscles of your face.

You're now relaxing the muscles

of your face.

Your forehead.

Make sure you're not frowning.

We must be really careful.

You're aware of consequences.

I just came to get a sip of water.

Goria, your free water limit is up.

The times we live in!

You were in my dreams last night.

It's obvious.

Anything else?

No, only you and two men.

F*** off.

I don't know if this is a good idea.

Wait, Bernard.

This is a pacemeter, there are lamps inside,

it needs to warm up.

I know.

I had a history of technology at school, too.

Beautiful,

sweet,

kitty, kitty, kitty.

Bernard, it's not like that!

It's supposed to play songs.

I swear, it works.

Don't worry, it happens.

The city increased the fluoride level

in the water, you're hallucinating.

Bernard, please!

And now take it and get out!

Get this sh*t out of here.

- Take it and don't you ever bring this sh*t here again...

- What?

- ...never again, you moron!

- All right!

Get out!

I'm sorry, I'm turning it off.

Wait, I want to say goodbye.

No!

Bernard.

Bernard.

You have to come by.

You have to help me.

You have to fix something for me.

No way.

Please, I know you can.

I can't, I have to work.

Bernard.

It's very important for me, Bernard.

Do you hear me?

Okay.

Just let me finish this.

How many do you have left?

Five walls.

Oh, there you are.

Goria!

I would like to share with you

something I discovered.

What? There's oil coming down your faucet?

I wouldn't share it with anybody,

or the hell will break loose at your home.

Stop following me.

OK, just a minute,

I wanted to show you something special.

I've seen it.

I wouldn't go that far.

There's not much to boast about.

I know you really like me.

You don't have much competition.

Most of them are gay,

and the nice boys are in the army.

We can go now.

Good, go to get the tools,

I'll be right back.

Go get the tools,

he'll be right back.

Just watch out for germs and viruses.

You don't look good,

what's wrong with you?

Will you come?

If I do, it's only out of pity.

Excellent.

Fine with me.

I would sit on you deep down

and f*** you hard.

That's nice.

So, I'll come by when my period's gone.

Ground floor.

I don't know.

I'm not going anywhere, sorry.

Bernard,

I beg you, you have to help me.

No way, it won't work.

I can't do it.

Please, mate, it's just few steps from here.

You can do it.

Read my lips:
I can't.

Bernard.

Let me go.

I'm sorry, my legs are asleep.

Bernard,

I'm sorry.

Everything's going to be fine.

Nearby there is a place

with an unlimited Internet.

Go there.

Be careful.

Go.

Please, help me up.

My legs are asleep.

Excuse me.

Wait.

Yes?

I'd like to connect to the Internet.

You're in the right place.

Water.

Twice filtered.

Thank you.

Stop!

Sh*t!

We have a fugitive.

Tape B, recording one.

Modification.

In your current level of superconsciousness,

in a familiar scenery,

build yourself a workshop to do

mind perfecting exercises.

Let it be bright, roomy space.

Furnish it with comfortable

and esthetically pleasing items.

Lay a soft carpet on the floor.

WARSAW, 1952

[With party toward a better future]

Come with us, citizen.

Come, come.

I live here, comrade.

What do you have there?

Let us see!

I don't really know...

my mom sent me.

Open it.

Go on, open it.

Never mind, comrade engineer,

you're free to go.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Have you seen my dog?

Do you perhaps have an old radio

like the one you have destroyed?

I do.

I'm looking out the window

Tired and longing for storm

The Sun is high, so high

Shining into pilot's eye

Warming tirelessly

Cold, blue, great expanse

I'm waiting for wind to scatter

This dark and swirly matter

I'll stand there as one

Face to face with the Sun

I'm waiting for wind to scatter

This dark and swirly matter

I'll stand there as one

Face to face with the Sun

It's not what I meant.

I was thinking about something else.

But I don't keep money at home.

I'm not here,

to steal from you

or kill you.

In that case,

I can't help you.

You have a beautiful brooch, mam.

Stop sucking up.

We're here about the case 19...

We're here about the case 1977

#fugitives/2204

My heart breaks when I see

an officer with potential like yours,

who, instead of working

on priorities of our department...

I don't even feel like finishing.

That's a shame.

I'd like to hear that

All right, all right.

I'm giving my permission

for your two-person squad
