to implement preventative actions

and to move the surveillance

of the target into the field.

Yes, sir.

Tape A, recording three.

Procedure:

Lie down comfortably,

relax,

lie comfortably, loosely, calmly

relax

relax

If the conjured image starts to blur,

start again, calmly and patiently.

Stay focused and present.

A triangle with a circle.

A triangle with a circle.

The first experimental TV program.

A triangle with a circle.

A triangle with a circle.

A triangle with a circle.

A triangle with a circle.

You lost it!

Come by tonight.

It seems I've discovered

something amazing.

Share it online.

Do you want to bang?

Good, me too.

But...

first take me on a real date

with beer or something.

Fine.

Then we'll bang!

But change the sheets.

It suits you.

You'll see...

You have to get yourself in a trance.

First you think it's a dream

and then it's like you get this

strong impression, that...

you see, hear and feel

that you can touch things.

Hey, this guy keeps looking at us.

He's looking at you,

because you're exceptionally beautiful.

Maybe.

Continue.

The most beautiful girl I've ever talked to.

Not this,

the one about the radio.

It's here.

Listen,

if you try to do something

to me I don't want,

I'll rip your dick off.

Okay.

And now kiss me

just like they do it in the movies.

Okay.

[Better tomorrow was yesterday]

They love it.

Wait here,

when I say "come in"- come in.

All right.

Come in!

Sit in the armchair.

That's illegal.

Whatever.

Ada...

Everything's great and all,

but I didn't come here to watch TV.

I think I love you.

That's nice

but you're not my type.

I'm looking for someone...

mature and responsible.

Somebody to start a family.

If I were unlucky enough

to get pregnant with you, I...

would have to get rid of it.

Anybody can see you're a freak.

I'm not.

Yes, you are.

I must get going

or I'll miss the last subway.

You don't want to stay the night?

It's too intimate.

Tape A, recording three

Procedure:

Lie down comfortably,

relax,

Lie comfortably, loosely, calmly.

Relax.

Loosely.

...to the hospital.

He's here!

He's here!

Siwicki, tell us where you were!

Take it easy,

take it easy, not so close.

Gentlemen,

let's truly celebrate

the return of our friend.

That's something!

That's a Nobel Prize,

that's a Nobel Prize, professor!

Professor, a shot?

Cheers!

Gentlemen!

Let your friend rest.

Of course, of course.

Take it easy, Krzy.

Breath.

Now.

You're safe now.

In my session,

I felt like there was no matter! Krzy...

You were maybe two or three minutes.

Time is not important.

Coming back to the Gudriev's experiment,

I think we can't exclude

any of these options.

But nobody is excluding any options.

We won't agree

until Krzysztof says something.

See, Urszulka?

Krzysio is back and he's fine.

Let's go.

We don't want you

to turn grey from the smoke.

Out of body experience!

Cheers, Krzysiu!

Gentlemen...

Silence!

I don't know...

I dreamt about a bleak flat,

getting across the river.

I saw my body from afar,

I could walk through

walls like a ghost.

It was a dream, which...

I don't know if it really was a dream, or...

I don't know if this is not a dream.

Hi, chubby.

I'm on a break.

I don't have to talk to you.

I've noticed.

Your day is one long break.

Where's your buddy?

I don't know,

he's not here.

I've noticed that, too.

You're not curious

what happened to him?

No.

You're not curious at all?

Not even a little.

I thought you were buddies.

Call him.

Do you have any better ideas?

I can't help you, babe.

Take this one, now!

Here.

Thank you.

What's your relation to the patient?

We're supposed to get married.

In the spring.

Your fianc is in a coma.

His condition is not a result

of any physical trauma, like an accident.

We don't really know what's wrong with him.

The CT didn't show anything.

He can wake up tomorrow

or he can never wake up again.

Can I see him now?

You should go now.

Your friend is in good hands.

He's been in better ones before.

I don't doubt that.

You have to tell me everything Adam told you,

do you understand?

No way.

I promised to be discreet.

Fine, it may not interest you,

but your buddy and my dear friend

is now lying like...

sea food,

like some sort

of steamed vegetable, get it?

I don't know.

Something happened to him.

He's almost a dead man.

And only you can help me,

but you have to be honest with me and tell me.

Everything.

But I know nothing.

I just clean here.

Just clean?

Who would keep such

a lazy bone like you?

Look around, the way you live.

Where's your bed?

Don't take it personally,

but I'm not interested.

You don't have one.

Because you don't need it.

When was the last time you slept?

- What did you dream about?

- What did you dream about?

What did you dream about?

This visit is making me tired.

What did you dream about?

This visit is making me tired,

you're making me tired.

I make friends easily,

I know many secrets of this corporation.

You're our first android, you fool.

And not a good one at that.

Fat, ugly, bald,

forty-year-old android!

Really, who would want such a fat android?

I guess they didn't have better embryos.

Tell me, Bernie

Bernie...

You remember everything.

No way, I promised to be discreet.

It's a matter of honor.

Honorable robot?

That's funny.

Fine.

F*** you.

I'll manage without you.

[for with]

[much]

[wisdom]

[comes]

[much]

[sorrow]

Good morning.

This door, please.

I'd like to buy one exhibit from you.

If only you were a midget, too.

When I was younger,

I was much taller.

Please, choose something,

they're all well maintained,

in good condition.

Maybe this.

Choose one.

Did you bring cash like I asked?

Yes.

But it wasn't easy.

I suppose it wasn't.

Sir...

Do you think that...

you can travel

in time with this radio?

Don't know.

I'm no scientist.

Take this one, too.

A souvenir.

Thank you,

it was good to see you.

It was good to hear you.

Wait.

[For with much]

[wisdom]

[Ec. S. 1 :
18]

Oh f***!

She was telling the truth.

I adore her.

Fat android.

Fat android.

Fat android.

Can you hurry up?

I promise, it works fine.

Don't worry, man, the city increased

the fluoride level in the water, you're hallucinating.

Send it to me.

Maybe they didn't have better embryos.

I despise you.

You're dirt to us.

F***.

Agent Jan Targosz

from National Security Bureau

Please call me back urgently

His only photo.

I stole it from daddy.

I had a crush on him.

Tea?

Maybe coffee?

What do you know about Adam's past?

I don't understand,

I asked about tea.

F***!

I'll bring some

tea and cookies.

We'll have a chat.

I'm 83 years

I've spent my whole life in this house

and now I'd like to...

move somewhere else.

Help me.

My daddy,

professor engineer Emfazy Stefaski,

was a genius.

In those days,

just like today,

if you loved Poland

you could choose between

escaping through the Iron Curtain
