[footsteps]
[Piotr breathes deeply]
It turns out you are a snake.
I should've known. [scoffs]
You were always with Satan.
[spits] I'm spitting you out of my mouth.
A rope, get one.
You'll hang yourself.
No, that'd be too easy.
[Dorota panting]
Where is Pesjach?
- [Dorota gasps]
- He'll be back.
- Where is Pesjach?
- He'll be back, I promise you.
I promise we'll get our son.
[Dorota sobs]
We're finished. Get your ass
the fuck out of Heaven now! Go!
[moody music playing]
[grunting]
[grunting]
[moody music continues]
[music fades]
[wind blowing]
Where to?
Uh how about you?
Gdansk.
Us too.
Alright. The junkie can't get in though.
Just you and the kid.
He's not a junkie, he's the father.
We're only going to my parents'.
[sighs]
Fine, get in.
[ominous music playing]
[music fades]
Are you nursing?
Yeah.
Here you go. Have something to eat.

The ruin of many a poor boy ♪

- [mysterious music playing]
- [Piotr] So, Azrael?
How's it going? [chuckles]
Remember, there's no life
outside Heaven.
Thank you.
[breathes deeply]
[Sebastian sniffs]
[Pesjach cries]
It's warmer closer to the ticket booths.
[Pesjach coughs]
[Pesjach cries]
Is he sick?
I've got some medicine at home.
You can't hang out or spend the night.
I'll get the kid
what he needs and that's it.
We'll get the meds and leave.
[woman] Alright, come on in then.
Oh, where did I put the
Oh, right.
I used to sit in that tunnel too.
- [ethereal music playing]
- For two years.
Mostly where you were,
not really by the booths.
You can get beaten up over there.
See if any of this will help him.
[Pesjach cooing]
[woman] Hey, Mom, take your meds.
Don't mention it.
[sighs]
Okay, you know what? Here's the plan.
You three can stay here
until the kid's fever breaks.
What do you want for dinner?
Hamburger? Or hamburger?
The bathroom's there.
[Pesjach cooing]
[music continues]
[gasps]
[music fades]
Could you help me find a job?
Wow, you can speak.
What else can you do?
I've got a license.
I got into law school once.
[Pesjach cooing]
That doesn't matter, does it?
Nope.
[door opens]
I swear I'll do anything.
Can I get you something else?
[breathing deeply]
Okay, get a little rest and
tomorrow we'll figure out what to do.
[door shuts]
Seba
[Aneta chuckles faintly]
[ominous music playing]
[chain creaking]
[Piotr] You slept, ate,
and prayed with us.
Then you ran away,
and came back terrified.
Shh, Shh, Shh
And then you helped Aneta escape
with our son from under my nose.
And we had punished you.
Yet you couldn't fucking
tell evil from good.
So then, who are you now, hm?
Just a pussy?
[shudders]
Yeah, that's it.
A moron, a pathetic failure.
But you still are my son, right?
Very well, listen to me carefully now.
I will let you return to Heaven.
With Pesjach, hm?
But first you'll have to prove
to me that you really are my son.
Shhh. You'll wake the baby.
[Sebastian shuddering]
[door closes]
[Sebastian shuddering]
You leave, I'll hold them back.
Get out of here.
[shudders]
They'll find me.
They'll take my son away again.
I'll figure something out.
[sobs faintly]
[Piotr] When your mind is focused
on speaking in a different way
your rational thinking dissolves,
and you start to drift somewhere else
when you pray, go on, try it.
It clears your head
of the everyday shit. [clears throat]
- You don't know what to do?
- [woman] Leeke thees
- Go preach the truth about Heaven.
- Telking like thees.
Fetch me a lost sheep or two.
- Eef I telk like thees will may
- I'm not sure I can do that.
You can, damn it, you can.
We'll stay another day
so he can fully recover.
- weell I stup gatting dregged duwn?
- Sounds good.
Want me to go alone?
- Weell I escend tu thee speerituel reelm?
- [Piotr scoffs]
You're a free man.
Yes, you can go on your own.
[woman] I'll try it when I pray, King.
[upbeat guitar music playing]
[man in Polish] It's just a dream ♪
Just a dream, a dream, a dream ♪
You're just dreaming ♪
It's all in your head ♪
It's just a hallucination ♪
Heaven and hell ♪
Wake up ♪
Wake up ♪
Wake up ♪
Wake up ♪
Wa ♪
Why'd you pick that song?
Just random, I guess.
Nothing is random.
It's a sign.
Your string snapped.
Nah, man, it didn't.
Hey! Hey! Hey, no Stop!
[Pesjach coughs and coos]
Can you let Pesjach stay?
He's still coughing.
[breathing deeply]
[dramatic music playing]
[telephone ringing]
[ringing continues]
[ringing stops]
[ringing continues]
[groans]
- Who is it?
- Hi, Dad.
[disconnect tone]
- [panting]
- [dialing]
[telephone ringing]
[phone clatters]
[disconnect tone]
[panting]
[dialing]
[telephone ringing]
- [call picks up]
- I'm reporting a child abduction.
[man] Okay, I'm gonna ask
that you try to remain calm.
Yes, I'm very calm.
Alright, start from the beginning.
Where are you right now?
I think I'm somewhere
near the train station.
I need you to be more specific,
what city are you calling from?
- [shuddering]
- [tense music playing]
[knocking]
[loud knocking]
Why'd you lock it?
I'm sorry, I wanted to get some rest.
[moody dramatic music playing]
[objects shuffling]
[woman] Do you smoke?
No.
I'm gonna have one.
It's the one bad habit I've kept.
To remind myself of
how I'd sell my body for a cigarette.
Back there in that tunnel.
That's where Piotr found me.
I was covered in piss, shit, and vomit.
He asked if I was hungry.
I was.
But I only admitted
that after he asked three times.
He got me a bite to eat and then
he looked me right in the eye and said
that it wasn't my fault.
I'm like, "How's it not my fault?
Who's whoring herself out
to buy cigarettes?"
And he says, "This isn't on you.
It's on the people who have too much.
Because if people shared,
there'd be no wars,
no hunger, no more evil.
Then life would be like heaven."
[moody dramatic music fades]
Pesjach, look what Mommy
brought you today.
- [mock gasp] Yes. Oh, don't you like it?
- [Pesjach cries]
Mmmm, don't cry, my love.
- I asked for a person, not groceries.
- Shhhh.
- [Sebastian] I've got my eye on someone.
- [Dorota] It's okay.
- Everything's going to be okay. Yes, yes.
- I'll get him to come tomorrow.
- [Dorota] "I want to be here. Yes."
- Um I'll start on dinner.
- "I want to be here with all people."
- I'd like to thank you all somehow.
- I'll help you.
- I'm good.
[Dorota] Yes, yes, yes, yes yes.
- It'll be easy.
- [Dorota] "I don't want to take a nap."
I want to stay here."
- [Pesjach continues crying]
- Yes, yes, yes.
- Yes, yes, yes, yes. Oh, yeah.
- [quiet dramatic music playing]
Yes, yes, yes, ohhh. Shhh.
Oh, little one, oh my little one.
You are such a sweet boy.
[mock gasp] Such a sweet boy.
- Wow, smells good.
- [Piotr] Mmm.
- [woman] Hmm?
- Have some.
[Piotr] Mmm.
- Thank you.
- [woman] Mmm.
You don't like cabbage or something?
- She can't have it.
- [Piotr] Why not?
She's breastfeeding.
[Dorota] The baby will get colicy.
- [Krzysiek] Fine, more for me. Pass it.
- [Dorota chuckles]
- You're not breastfeeding.
- [woman chuckles]
- [chuckles] Yeah. [sighs]
- [quiet tense music playing]
[Pesjach cries]
[whispering] Cough loudly.
- [coughing]
- [vomiting]
[dramatic music playing]
[hard kick]
[hard kick]
[dramatic music continues]
[music fades]
[Sebastian in funny voice] Hey you.
- [Aneta chuckles]
- Hey. You. You. Yeah.
Hello. Oooh!
- Hey. [chuckles]
- [Sebastian] Hey!
Oooooh.
- And is that all?
- And some tonic. Maybe rose-flavored.
Uhhh Rose, sure.
- Take him. That one's very good.
- [woman] Or raspberry.
- Ooh. Tut tut tut
- I've got it here.
Uh, that'll be 30 altogether.
- [Piotr] Azrael it's me. I'm right here.
- [ominous music playing]
- Look at me.
- [Pesjach crying]
[Aneta] Sebastian? Hey!
[Piotr] Who's Sebastian? No.
- [woman] Did you go to theatre school?
- [Piotr] Stay focused.
[Aneta] How can I help you?
- [sighs]
- [Pesjach sobs]
- [ominous music fades]
- [distant siren blaring]
[Piotr] Look me in the eyes.
- [Piotr snickering]
- [mysterious music playing]
Come, let's talk.
Come, come.
We've got a minute,
she's asleep. Come here.
[Sebastian shuddering]
Let's go to bed.
He's not here, Seba.
[approaching footsteps]
[mysterious music continues]
[music fades]
- Thank you.
- Thank you, my dear. Bye now.
Have a good day.
Is that my grandson?
May I please hold him, Aneta?
[Pesjach coos]
[Teresa sighs]
Baby boy.
Come to Grandma, okay?
Here we go.
[Pesjach fusses]
[chuckles]
- [Pesjach coos]
- [chuckles]
You have such a beautiful son.
- Mm.
- [coos]
[Aneta] Come here.
And where is my son?
[doorbell ringing]
- [ominous music playing]
- [gasps]
- [panting]
- [doorbell ringing]
Just leave me alone!
I'm begging you!
[Teresa] Sebastian.
Sebastian, let me in, please.
[gasps and pants]
[panting]
[sobbing]
I'm sorry.
Help me.
[ethereal music playing]
[Piotr] Azrael,
he won't help you.
You still have a choice.
There's no life outside of Heaven.
We're here.
[ethereal music fades]
Then my mother told me, um
you can cure possession.
[priest chuckles faintly]
So I came here to confess.
[breathing deeply]
Those are all the sins I can remember.
So that's the whole story?
You must completely
leave that life behind you now.
[breathing deeply]
[in Latin] We exorcize you
every impure spirit
- every satanic power every incursion
- [moody ethereal music playing]
of the infernal adversary every legion
every congregation and diabolical sect
[in English] But she was your mother,
the woman who raised you.
You are her whole world.
[Sebastian] Do you know why Dad left us?
Because when he looked at me
he saw you, a stupid old whore.
[grunts]
[priest] You were the chosen one.
Piotr said you had the gift of healing.
- Maybe there was no gift.
- [Sebastian] There was.
For fuck sake go to your room now!
[priest] You did whatever
he wanted you to do.
Because he said "I know it hurts.
And I know why."
And that was enough.
But it was your baby.
[Piotr chuckles]
[Krzysiek] If you fail Piotr, I swear,
I'll drag you by the hair to the deepest
well and throw you in, got it?
- [grunting]
- [Sebastian sobs]
Be scared of getting spat out.
[grunts and groans]
[priest] Piotr isn't Jesus.
[moody ethereal music continues]
[in Latin] Every congregation
and diabolical sect
in the name and power
of our Lord Jesus Christ eradicate--
- Sebastian.
- [music stops]
Sebastian!
[quiet dramatic music playing]
Daddy's home.
[music stops]
[fire crackling]
Construction will start tomorrow.
The temple will be huge.
I want it to be big enough
to fit several churches inside.
I want it to
Azrael. [chuckles faintly]
You're back.
My Azrael.
[chuckling] My son.
As you can see we're doing quite well.
As usual, wouldn't you say?
We're building a temple.
[quiet dramatic music playing]
[zipper zipping]
[bag shuffling]
[all gasping and chattering]
Ah! Ah! [shouts]
[both grunting]
[people chatter excitedly]
[gasping] Run!
[both continue grunting]
[all shouting]
[both continue grunting]
- [grunts]
- [groans]
[Dabrowski] More water!
[people shouting]
[panting]
[Pesjach cooing]
I love you both so much.
But I have hell in my head.
- [shuddering]
- [people continue shouting]
[sobbing]
[people continue shouting]
What have you done, dammit?
Heaven is on fire!
What now?!
I'll try to live.
- What were you doing before, huh?
- [grunts]
[moody dramatic music continues]
I don't know what
you came here for, Sebastian.
[groaning]
Say, "Jesus, save me."
"Jesus, save me. I want to live."
- You want to live?
- [screams]
[priest] "Jesus, save me,
because I want to live."
We were leaving you in peace.
No one was bothering you!
[priest] You want to live.
It's your pain that doesn't want life.
You'll live only if I want you to live!
- And I don't want you to! Understand?
- [screams]
Lord please let me endure
one more day on earth.
Louder.
- [Piotr] Look at me!
- [screams]
- Lord let me endure one more day.
- Let Him hear you. Louder.
- [groans]
- Look at me!
Lord, please let me endure one--
[priest] "Jesus let me endure one more"
Jesus, please let me
- Who is your God? Huh?
- Not you!
- Not you!
- Not me?
- [Sebastian] Jesus, let me endure--
- [priest] Louder! Let Him hear you.
Jesus! Please let me endure one more--
[sobbing]
King! King, it's getting out of control!
Please do something, please.
What have you done?
What the fuck have you done?
[moody dramatic music continues]
[sobbing quietly]
[Piotr] This is our home!
[people gasping and chuckling]
It's God.
He's here with us.
Let's thank God.
Our Father who art in Heaven
hallowed be Thy name
[moody dramatic music stops]
- Our Father, who art in Heaven
- [woman sobbing]
hallowed be thy name
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven
[moody dramatic music fades]
[Sebastian sobbing]
This isn't the end
of your story, Sebastian.
This is the first chapter
of your real life.
[panting quietly]
[panting and groaning]
[Dabrowski] Hey.
Have you found anything?
Uh. No.
[Dabrowski] Me neither.
[grunting]
- [sighs]
- Krzysiek?
[panting]
No.
My Lord in Heaven.
King.
If you're alive, give me a sign.
Give me a sign.
Please.
Hey!
[sniffs] Hey, what are you doing?
- Where do you think you're going? Wait.
- [upbeat music playing]
- [in Polish] This faith ♪
- He is not dead! He will come back to us.
- This faith ♪
- Our Father cannot die!
- This faith ♪
- King's still alive! You can't leave him!

Sebastian Keller left the sect
30 years ago.
Most of his loved ones
turned their backs on him.
People still see him as a cult member.
Supported by his mother,
he continues to fight for a normal life.
Every day I ask myself,
"Why did I enter Heaven?"
