[Emil grunts]
-[Konieczny grunts]
-[Emil coughs, grunts]
[Konieczny] You're disgusting.
[Emil grunts]
You stole these from the hospital
to scrape out the bastard.
[Emil coughs]
[Konieczny grunts]
You're getting locked up for that.
[Emil coughs]
You're the scum of the earth!
[Emil grunts wearily]
-Start talking!
-[Emil panting]
Look, you're still young.
If you enter a guilty plea,
they'll be lenient.
That woman
[strained breathing]
at the hospital, ask her.
Helena Wróblewska?
[Emil grunts]
[groaning]
[distant bell tolling]
Did you hear about what happened?
Let me tell you.
[woman chuckling]

I'll take care of it. Ewa.
WOMEN'S HELL
[coughs]
[breath trembling]
I'm gonna cancel the whole thing.
[coughs]
-[coughs]
-Listen.
You know I married Maks
because I loved him.
[breath trembling]
I really did.
He would sing to me.
I mean, we'd spend entire days
in bed together.
And then it all changed.
Bruno will change as well.
So will you.
Where will you be in 10, 15 more years?
Upstairs in a shared apartment
with seven kids?
Is that what you want?
-[all cheering]
-[Ludwik] Hold on.
-[all cheering]
-[man] Kiss her again!
[woman] We wish you happiness!
-[woman] Congratulations.
-[man] Not bad, huh?
-May you always be happy.
-You're too kind.
-[man] Congratulations.
-[woman] Congratulations.
-You did great.
-When do you leave?
-Take care of her, you.
-Of course I will.
-Thank you.
-[Maks] You can't be serious.
Over there. Wiktor Denar
with Bogumił Makowiecki.
[Helena] Makowiecki, the former minister?
[Maks sighs] Denar has always known
who to align himself with.
-His hair is thinning a little.
-Hmm.
He's not aging all that well, is he?
-He's not, but he's going up in the world.
-Oh, hello.
[Helena] His magazine
is selling incredibly well.
Thank you very much.
Helena, don't. [sighs]
Wiktor, I'm so grateful you came.
Um, you'll have to excuse us.
We don't wanna make any headlines.
Do forgive us.
-Come on, son, let's go.
-[sighs softly]
Well, that's it.
-Perfect.
-Kiss time!
-[child] Yes!
-Kiss her!
[man] Kiss her, kiss her,
kiss her, kiss her!
Wait a minute. It's coming. Wait.
[man] Kiss her, kiss her!
-[Bruno] Oh.
-Bravo!
-Bring the champagne.
-You all right?
Champagne, now! Come on!
Talk to him, will you, huh?
[Bruno] I know, I know. Thank you.
Oh, Ewa, come here.
"Murderer of baby killer
arrested at the opening
of Żeleński's clinic.
This disreputable institution
is supported
is supported by influential Warsawians,
including Helena Wróblewska
the wife of the owner of the magazine
Fortuna Amandi.
-Due to the--"
-Did I just hear
Fortuna Amandi, darling Ewa?
Just a second, my love.
[both chuckle softly]
May I have this dance?
"Due to this ideological shift,
readership of the magazine
is bound to fall.
Fortuna Amandi's latest issue includes
a scandalous letter written by Boy--"
It's just right-wing crap.
Thanks to you
-we have enjoyed record high sales.
-Mmm.
[Denar] I'd like to express my gratitude.
[Helena] Congratulations.
You're on par with tabloids these days.
-[Denar] Mmm.
-[Helena] Hmm.
[both chuckle softly]
Do you know each other?
Denar here was once a friend of Maks'.
Mmm.
I think you're forgetting
that you and I have history also.
[Helena] Hmm.
Although, unfortunately, I
I had less money than my friend.
It wasn't about the money.
Maks was simply a much better kisser.
-[Denar chuckles softly]
-[Helena chuckles softly]
Hmm?
Emotions are good if you're young, Helena.
You should be much more careful
who you're photographed with.
[Helena] Hmm.
[gasps]
What have you done?
I'm sorry. I'm just
[Róża gasps]
[Róża exhales]
Come.
[upbeat music playing]
[Denar grunts]
[exhales, grunts]
-Yeah.
-[grunting]
-[grunts]
-[Ewa winces]
[all grunting]
[grunts]
-[chuckles]
-[grunts]
-Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.
-Maks.
Maks, for the love of God, I'm driving.
Denar got way more
-of your attention.
-Oh, did he?
I didn't play along, okay?
He's profiting at the magazine's expense.
The scandal you caused.
Uh-huh?
Darling, you published Boy's article.
So, you don't care about women's fate?
What, because I don't support
baby-killing?
Mmm, baby-killing.
That's the reason that
Dr. Heckmann got arrested.
Hmm. This is a witch hunt
against Żeleński.
He's probably innocent.
Well, I don't give a damn.
About our publication?
People who trust us?
Look, it's just business, chérie.
[Helena] Mmm-hmm.
Now you just worry about the operation.
Don't treat me like a broodmare.
[Maks] I'm just trying to help you.
The surgery is our only chance.
What the fuck is this?
[Janeczek] Evening.
I'm very grateful to you all.
[chuckles]
-Where are you from?
-I'm from Białystok.
-Everyone told me--
-Watch out.
the big city wasn't for me,
but I'm killing it. [chuckles]
Attagirl.
Well, I'm trying.
Thank you.
Other girls look for a husband first.
Bruno
it's pretty late, and my
and my landlady
shouldn't see me with a man,
especially this late at night.
Sorry.
Good night.
[Janeczek] The suspect in question
has made a claim
that you have case-relevant information.
[Konieczny] Do you know Emil Heckmann?
I met him at the opening
of the Conscious Motherhood clinic.
[Janeczek] Did you know his sister?
I didn't.
[Maks] My wife
is a well-known and respected lady.
Heckmann's sister was raped
before she died.
And how do you know that?
Helena.
Her brother might know more about it.
-If you had let me see him--
-My wife does not fully understand
the complexity of the situation, okay?
And yet you want to let that degenerate
use Fortuna Amandi.
[Janeczek] Mrs. Wróblewska
raped or not, it's difficult to prove
if the victim is already dead.
The real cause of death
is a doctor who botched an abortion.
Okay, honey?
[Janeczek] Do you know what these are?
Darling, go to your room.
Go on.
Please, help yourself.
To you.
[Ewa laughs excitedly]
[Ludwik grunts]
-[Ludwik grunts]
-[winces, laughs]
So, now what?
[grunts] You'll see.
[chuckles softly] Should I be scared?
[Ludwik chuckles] If you like.
[chuckles]
Get undressed.
[sighs] Ludwik
-Hmm?
-I have a question.
I was wondering
if you could use a condom, please?
But why? You're my wife, Ewa.
No, yeah.
I just wanna be able to enjoy
our love life a little first.
So let's enjoy it. [grunts]
Ludwik, please. Ludwik.
What? The rubber kills the thrill.
Says the manufacturer?
Careful, or I'll tell everyone
you don't believe in your own product.
Well, I don't mix work with pleasure.
-[winces, gasps]
-[grunts]
-[grunts]
-Ludwik. Ludwik, please.
-Please, Ludwik, I'm not ready.
-[shushing]
I don't want to have children yet.
-Please use the condom.
-Shut up.
-[yelps]
-[grunts]
[wincing]
-No!
-[grunts]
-[grunting]
-[wincing]
-[screaming in pain]
-[grunting]
-[grunting vigorously]
-[wincing in pain]
-[grunting]
-[screams in pain]
-[grunting, moaning]
-[wincing]
-[grunting loudly]
-[screaming in pain]
[Ludwik grunts, moans]
[panting, groaning]
[grunting, panting]
[grunting, sighing]
[coughing]
[sighs in relief]
[breath trembling]
[Maks] Tell me, Marek
Why did you think it was acceptable
to turn up at my house at this hour?
-Huh? Was that really necessary?
-Look, orders from above.
[Maks] Well, make sure
it doesn't happen again, okay?
[bird cawing]
[footsteps approaching]
I can't be away from the office long.
What was so important?
I'm so glad that you're here.
[sobbing softly]
Ewa you know we can't see each other.
Hanka Stalówna
is not a good match for you.
That's why you wanted to see me?
I did some digging on Miss Stalówna.
You have a husband.
And she has two illegitimate children.
You know she'll be fired if they find out.
She won't be able to work.
Well, she's desperate to find a husband.
Don't you see that's all this is?
She even placed an ad as "Unfading Hope."
She just wants anyone.
Ewa, please stop, okay?
-I see that you like her.
-I only care about you.
Let's run away together. Bruno, please.
We can escape this place
so no one gets hurt.
"I will recognize you by a white rose.
Maybe fate will give us a chance for love.
Pure-hearted Jan."
[Helena] Hmm. Of course.
-Maybe you should add something personal.
-[chuckles softly]
More romantic.
[man] I seek peace, not folly, ma'am.
I'll marry the ugliest woman, so--
-For Editor Wróblewska.
-Oh, I'll take that.
[man] With her own furniture
and undergarments.
-Package for you, ma'am.
-I'm busy.
I do apologize, sir. She's new.
How much does it cost?
As always, it's one cent for each word.
Fine.
-I can pay that.
-[coins clatter]
-[grunts]
-Goodbye.
[man grunts in acknowledgement]
[sniffs, gags]
Hey, Miss Stalówna.
I'm sorry, it's just
He said to give it
-Oh, my God. What?
-Get rid of this.
And get me a car out front.
Where do you wanna go?
It's not safe out there right now.
Uh
Hmm.
FOR THE CORRUP
[Denar] The Fortuna Amandi magazine
continues to corrupt our society
by daring to publish
on its incendiary pages
the usual outrageous,
romantic advertisements
whose aim is to establish
extramarital relationships.
Boy's article clearly demonstrates
the fate that awaits us all
if we turn a blind eye to the ruddiness
that is occurring in our very own city.
[protestors chanting imperceptibly]
[Denar] Do we want to live in a world
where wives go out and commit adultery
with absolutely no shame?
A world where they are driven solely
by their own immoral pleasures?
Only we have the ability here
to put a stop to this evil disease
that was brought to our land
because of the infamous Boy Żeleński
with support from all those at Fortuna.
Good morning. Where the hell is everybody?
Well, one man came in.
-But my wife is here?
-She went out.
-Where to?
-She didn't say.
[vandal] Your rotten morals stink!
Goddammit.
[vandal] Oh, there's the smell!
You motherfuckers!
-[vandal laughs]
-Low-lives.
-[vandal snickers]
-Worthless pieces of shit!
[sighs]
Fucking hell.
[officer] Visits to suspects
in custody are prohibited.
[Fela] I don't care. Fela Turczykówna.
-I need to see him.
-I'm sorry, ma'am. Not today.
How can I help you, ma'am?
I wanted to report Excuse me.
Just wait.
Right, and her name was?
That's wonderful. Thank you.
Fela Turczykówna.
She danced on Pańska Street with Zuza.
It seems that she knows her brother.
She brought the letter to our office.
I [clears throat]
I didn't want to show you this before.
It paints us in a bad light.
You must find this "Pure-hearted Jan,"
or other women will be hurt.
Don't worry, okay? We're doing our job.
[sarcastic chuckle]
Tell me. Do you know what Denar would do
when he finds out
our magazine enables rape?
With respect,
this isn't about morality, ma'am,
it's about politics.
So, this is benefitting those in power.
Heckmann will go to jail
and it will all blow over.
I promise.
Even if he's innocent?
Ma'am, I don't
-[upbeat music playing]
-[indistinct chatter]
Is this that student? Zizi's brother?
Thank God he's locked away.
[Fela] He didn't do it.
That's right.
Where the hell did you get
silk stockings like that?
I worked for them.
What are you doing?
Lew got brand new silk stockings
for your chicken legs?
-Stop, Fela. Are you nuts?
-Not again.
You snitched on Emil, okay?
He's going to end up in jail, you bitch.
-[dancer] Stop it, Fela.
-You'd rather Lwowska went to prison?
-Come on, ladies, stop.
-[grunts]
Who'll fix your problem then?
Is it your loverboy, Heckmann?
You bitch.
Get your hands off me!
You psycho! What the fuck
are you doing, Fela? Stop it.
-He's done nothing wrong. He's innocent.
-Be quiet!
-What the fuck is going on in here, girls?
-How could you do that, huh?
[Lew] Stop that right away!
[Fela pants, grunts]
-Apologize right now!
-[panting]
[Fela grunts, winces]
I told you to apologize to her.
[breath trembling]
I'm sorry.
I can't hear you.
I'm sorry, Master.
Do that again
and I swear you'll regret it,
'cause I can see to it
that you never work again.
Do you understand?
[yelling] Do you understand?
Yes, Master. [breath trembling]
[breath trembling]
Now pull it together.
I expect you to be on stage in ten.
-[exhales]
-[door closes]
BURLESQUE SHOW
[woman] Get back here and pay.
You son of a bitch!
-[woman 2] Get back in here.
-[woman 1] The bastard ran.
-[soft music playing]
-[audience cheering]
PAŃSKA STREE
BURLESQUE SHOW
-[upbeat music playing]
-[audience cheering]
[man] Gorgeous!
[man] Gorgeous!
I love you!
[man 2] Fela!
[man 1 laughs] Look at that.
Oh, my gosh, amazing!
[man 2] Fela!
[laughs heartily] Hey!
That was incredible. Incredible!
Gorgeous!
-[music ends]
-[audience cheering, whistling]
[footsteps approaching]
-[car door opens]
-[chuckles softly]
Marek, finally.
We'll be late now.
Pańska Street, quick as you can.
No, we can't tonight.
Uh, why not?
Uh, because your wife is there.
You mean Helena? On Pańska?
But she never goes anywhere
other than the city center.
-Want me to show you?
-[engine starts]
[jazz music playing]
Fela?
[man sighs, laughs]
Hey, there.
I can smell your cunt, hmm?
-Don't touch me. Fuck off!
-[man laughs]
-Stop struggling.
-No! [grunts] Get off of me! No!
Get the fuck off of me.
Get your fucking hands off of me!
-[man grunts]
-[grunts] Get off!
[Fela] What the hell are you doing?
-[Helena screams]
-Come on.
-[Helena screams]
-Get out of here, Heniek!
-Calm down, Fela.
-I'll tell Stepha you're a cheating pig.
Hey, we were just having a bit of fun.
-You're such a lying pig.
-A big of fun!
Get the fuck out of here. You're pathetic!
Ah! Bitch!
And what the hell are you up to?
-Go on, get out of here.
-I'm fine, thank you.
Cabs are over there.
I know Zuza wrote the letter.
I know what happened.
[Fela] All of Warsaw knows.
They're gonna make Heckmann a scapegoat.
The rapist is gonna walk free
if you don't tell me what happened.
[Helena panting]
Fela.
[soft music playing]
[Fela] Zbyniu, a shot for the lady.
Or make it three, with a chaser.
And a large beer as well.
-I don't trust you people.
-Then why are you drinking with me?
Zuza wanted to find love.
So she wanted to do it.
-Hang on, but she wrote--
-Who's gonna believe her?
They'll paint her as a sex maniac
and just say that she deserved it.
Did she give you any details about him?
I know that he drugged her with ether
abducted her and raped her.
Then came the pregnancy.
And then who stops the pregnancy?
You have to tell the police.
You don't get to tell me what to do, lady!
You don't know shit about life.
She's fucking dead!
I have to keep living my life.
Did someone hurt you?
-Want to dance?
-Fela. No.
-Come on. [chuckles]
-No, I--
Would you like to dance?
-Ah!
-Yes, please, sir.
-Opa!
-[Fela chuckles]

-[Maks exhales]
-[chair creaks]
[gulps, inhales]
[exhales]
[footsteps approaching]
Where were you, my love?
At the movies.
[Maks chuckles softly]
I didn't know they showed movies
on Pańska Street now.
[Helena chuckles]
Were you spying?
You're acting like a whore.
[sarcastic laugh]
-And you like cheap whores.
-Stop it.
Don't you like me? [gasps]
[both grunting]
-I'm sorry.
-[Helena grunts]
Do you see what you make me do?
Do you see?
Our magazine is suffering because of you,
and you're behaving like a
Why don't you speak to your police buddy?
Tell them I know who did the abortion.
And I'll find out who attacked her.
And I'm gonna tell the world
if they do nothing.
-Oh, yeah?
-I'll even tell Denar.
I'll tell them you and Janeczek
are covering up a crime.
[gasps]
[door closes]
[somber music playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
Follow me.
Move it, gentlemen.
Look, don't worry.
-[woman whimpering]
-It'll be all right.
[sobbing]
-[screaming in pain]
-Hurry, hurry.
[woman crying in pain]
[screaming]
Mrs. Lwowska, we're arresting you
on suspicion of foeticide.
Cuff her!
[officer grunts]
-[Konieczny] Ma'am. Ma'am!
-[officer grunts]
You're free to go, you lucky dog.
You should probably thank Mrs. Wróblewska.
[Emil grunts wearily]
Good morning, Doctor.
Excuse me, I'd like to
ask about the condition of the patient
who had an abortion performed by Lwowska.
-Mrs. Wróblewska, I am--
-Emil Heckmann.
I know what your name is.
These are for her.
They arrested her
the moment she started to feel better.
Abortion is punishable by law
without exception.
Felicja told me what you did.
Zuza's name was in Lwowska's notes.
I owe you my freedom.
Why did Zuza want to write to you?
Did you know my sister?
You didn't know her very well.
She came to my magazine
because she was looking for love.
And it didn't work.
[jazz music playing]
[Rôża] Oh! [chuckles]
[woman] No, no, no.
I don't want to. It's not that good.
Please, Rôża, please help me.
Hmm.
Oh, dear.
-[woman chuckling]
-Come.
[woman laughing hysterically]
Han?
[woman] When a girl sets up a date
with a potential suitor
through a magazine column,
it means she wants to arouse his desire.
[woman 2] Men are like animals.
It can't be helped.
[woman 1 chuckles]
[woman 3] You know, I dreamt
that I was raped by a Black stallion.
[woman 3] Maybe it was Boy.
[all laughing]
You ladies have the wrong idea.
Don't you know that
pain can be pleasurable?
[woman 2] You mean for him?
La petite mort.
[all laughing]
[woman 2] I think that, subconsciously,
every woman dreams of being raped.
Listening to you makes me wanna vomit.
I'm going. [grunts]
You don't feel popular enough in here?
You're the talk of the city.
I'm not here to [winces]
What are you doing? [wincing]
My brother put all his eggs
into one basket and you're it.
As long as Maks loves you, I do too.
But if you hurt him
I will never forgive you, understood?
Tomorrow, you will go to the clinic
and meet with Professor Voronoff,
do you hear me?
Don't let me down.
-[chuckles softly]
-[Cesia] Mommy,
you look like a real life princess.
Because there's a prince waiting.
-Does he have stables?
-Or a bathroom?
I'm sure he has all of that.
And is this prince gonna pay your rent?
Don't worry, ma'am. I will pay my rent
once I get my paycheck.
-In Sodom and Gomorrah.
-Please, the children.
Now, you be good.
[Maks] Excuse me.
Helena, darling, please, come on.
Don't be like that.
I just spoke to Dr. Voronoff.
It's a common procedure in Paris.
You're doing this for us.
Helena.
[Voronoff] It's time to bring her in.
You can relax.
You're in the best of hands.
You're okay. And when you wake up,
I'll be there, I promise.
[Voronoff] Take the patient to room four.
[Maks] Come on, darling,
you have to be brave.
Helena, please
[foreboding music playing]
We'll implant a healthy ovary
from the deceased into the patient.
She's ready.
[speaking in French]
[in English] Unfortunately,
this patient isn't very young.
Don't translate that.
Did she know about the risks?
Wróblewska wants to have a child.
Helena Wróblewska?
[distant laughter]
You shouldn't be here, miss.
[screaming]
[breathing heavily]
