Can you exchange this?

For dollars?

That's some nest egg.

I work.

A bottle of vodka.

The most expensive.

Wrap it up please.

Hello.

I'm here on business.

Official?

No, I wanted to talk business.

Can I come in?

It must be a good piece of land.

Move in with your son!

I wanted to.

Then do it!

Buy a car, a TV.

What for? I never watch it.

Always the same crap.

Or else...

I could bury the money...

put it in a little jar.

Sure!

That would be nice.

when we close the deal.

I have to go.

What?

It's the last train.

You're wandering around

at night?

You'll get mugged.

They'll steal your briefcase.

Sleep here.

There's a bed upstairs.

It's your bed now.

Hello.

You're alive.

They stole me with the trunk.

Your brother told me.

I was looking for you.

Me too.

Well...

What's up?

In the metro,

you mentioned a guy...

Remember?

Can you get in touch with him?

Yes, I can.

When someone asks for help,

you have to help him. Right?

Except...

he's back in Warsaw.

He doesn't want to anymore?

He does.

More than ever.

So?

He changed his mind?

No.

It's me.

Does it make a difference?

No...

but it's you.

How?

These days

you can buy anything.

The envelope is in my pocket.

Take it afterwards.

Go on.

Are you sure?

That was a blank.

The next one is real.

Are you sure?

Not any more.

Tell me why.

Mikolaj,

we all know pain.

Yes, but...

I wanted

less of it.

The deal stands.

Take it.

You've earned it.

I did earn it.

But consider it a loan.

How about a drink?

I feel like a kid again!

Me too.

Everything is possible.

You beat us to it.

You bought the land.

Strangle him.

You spied!

I did.

I have a will.

And it's airtight.

What do you mean "airtight"?

If I die,

everything goes to the church.

Jesus!

To the church.

We're screwed.

Let him go.

You're lucky

the stove's not lit.

Let's talk.

Are you selling?

I'm selling.

He's selling.

How much?

Ten times what I paid.

Excuse me while I change.

What a low-life.

What the hell is going on?

I'll be able to pay you back.

The stove?

Should I light the stove?

Later.

This may interest you.

I have a plot here.

Here... and here.

Right in the middle!

Exactly.

Here, I couldn't resist.

A beautiful spot.

With birch saplings.

Which means?

Same thing:

I have everything:

Bills, contracts...

That's the way it is.

For the time being.

It's a deal.

You're a son of a b*tch.

No, I just need the money.

Excuse me.

Should I light the stove?

Yeah, I'm cold.

Karol...

can you do Jadwiga's hair today?

Today?

Why not? I have some time.

Should I cut the engine, boss?

No, keep the car warm.

Hello.

You bought the whole store!

Presents.

Come in.

I'll just be a second.

I'm starting a company.

Big time.

comes from the money you gave me.

Like it or not,

you're my partner.

I'd like you

to run it with me.

Serious?

Serious.

Volvo?

Volvo.

Burgundy?

Burgundy. Company car.

Can I think it over?

Merry Christmas.

Ideal place for the secretary.

Here is a second office.

Spacious, isn't it?

The view is rather attractive.

Computer and satellite hook-ups.

We need two faxes.

Where do we plug them in?

You have three telephone lines.

Oh, the telephone.

Yes.

Okay, I think...

we'll take everything.

Wonderful.

Step into my office.

Just one minute.

Do you have a handkerchief?

Nice.

Warsaw at our feet.

What's that?

From the Complaint Department.

- Bananas?

- Yes.

Cold storage!

Wait for the price to go up.

There's a fax coming in.

Electronic equipment.

Thailand to Russia.

Sell it here.

My experts say

it's good stuff.

It looks like good work.

How thick should that wall be?

Measure it.

Have those 4 centimeters added.

But we'd have to knock it down!

I guess so...

Goodbye.

Dominique!

Hello?

Dominique?

It's Karol.

I'm calling from Warsaw.

From Poland.

I'm sorry.

I wanted to hear yourvoice.

Say something.

Anything.

"I hereby annul

my previous will and testament.

"I resolve that..."

That in the case of my death...

Death.

...all my personal belongings

and property

as well as any sums...

of money...

Of money in my bank accounts

will be left

to my ex-wife, Dominique.

Dominique has a "q-u-e"

at the end.

I know how to spell Dominique.

What are we doing out here?

I'm afraid

the office may be bugged.

By whom?

Who knows?

I wanted to tell you something.

Go ahead.

Don't be surprised to see

my obituaries in the paper.

One will be signed by you.

Okay.

My lawyer has my will.

You're the executor.

Here are the names.

You want me to drag her

from Paris?

Will she come?

She'll come.

It's a lot of money.

You don't want to know why?

No.

You'll need a passport again.

Now you can have

the death certificate.

My condolences.

Here.

Everything is in order.

You know

what's next?

What?

We need someone

to bury.

A corpse?

You don't plan on?

No.

We'll buy one.

These days...

you can buy anything.

You think so?

Would you mind

a Russian import, boss?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Let's go.

It couldn't be better, boss.

He's impossible to identify.

What happened?

His head got crushed.

He leaned too far

out a train window.

Let's close it.

I'll manage.

Okay. Goodnight, boss.

I'll close up.

You scared me.

Why?

You knew I was coming.

I don't know...

Afraid ofwhat will happen?

Here's your passport.

Your ticket to Hong Kong.

Your address.

I rented you a nice house.

Are you sure?

Don't be late for the plane.

At 10 o'clock,

I'll call the police.

They'll be there

a half hour later.

At 10:
30,

you'll be in the air.

Easy, isn't it?

Easy.

Mikolaj...

So long.

I wanted you to come.

I wanted to be sure.

I didn't want to have

to ask anymore.

Karol...

You cried at my funeral.

Why?

Because you were dead.

Can I touch your hand?

Sit down.

Can I lay my head here?

I've wanted to lay my head here

for such a long time.

You moaned louder

than on the phone.

Yes.

You won't look at me?

Karol?

Mikolaj, please.

It's Dominique.

It's Dominique.

Where's Karol?

He's dead.

He is not. I saw him...

You were at his funeral.

I was not at his funeral.

He's alive.

I'm sorry...

You have to help me find him.

I love him.

Of course. It's row 23.

Tomb 10675.

The name of the cemetery

is Powazkowski.

He's back!

I think I doubt that.

I have to hang up.

Dominique Vidal?

Yes?

Police.

Passport, please.

It's at the front desk.

Call downstairs.

We have a search warrant.

Can I get dressed?

I'm a French citizen.

Someone from the consulate

is coming.

You have the right

to remain silent

until he comes.

I have nothing to hide.

What do you want from me?

Have you begun executing the will?

Yes. So?

Your ex-husband was wealthy.

Yes.

That's all, thank you.

We don't believe your husband died

a natural death.

What?

He was helped.

We have proof you were here

the day he died.

The stamp is in your passport.

How is that?

He's not dead. He's alive.

Who?

My husband.

Who was buried yesterday
