JUST ONE LOOK
BASED ON THE NOVEL BY HARLAN COBEN
Hey.
I have something for you.
Max drew you… saving the world.
You look a bit like a kangaroo,
but… apparently it's you.
Oh, and I have… something from Emma too.
Tickets to the game.
Of course I paid for them.
Oh, and…
one more thing.
Hi, Daddy. It's us, Emma and Max.
Max and Emma.
Why do you always have to be first?
-Because I'm older.
-Give me that.
Hi, Dad. We love you and we miss you.
When will we see each other?
Or maybe we'll come and visit?
Exactly! Because we miss you very much.
-Give me that phone!
-No.
Mom!
Yeah, so…
Yeah, at home, nothing has changed.
Ms. Greta, please take this away.
Oh, sorry.
The doctor said that if all goes well,
we'll try to wake him up tomorrow.
Thank you.
May I stay with him a bit longer?
Okay.
Two minutes.
You have to come back quick.
We have a lot to discuss.
I found three Szymon Adamiuks.
I've found none.
Nothing.
Because one is long dead.
One is five and lives in Szczecin
with his parents.
The third one's been abroad
for several years.
But… what does all that mean?
I went to see the mother
of the guy who went abroad.
-Yeah?
-She got nervous when she saw my badge.
Is that surprising?
I get nervous when I see a cop too.
So when you shave in the morning,
you close your eyes just in case?
I shave in the evening.
-In the dark?
-Yeah.
According to the mother,
Adamiuk left the country without a trace.
-Why didn't she report him missing?
-I asked her about it.
She says her son is an adult,
and he can do whatever he wants.
Oh boy. The perfect mother.
When I asked
if she knew a man called Jacek Ławniczak,
she immediately shut the door in my face.
Oh, thanks.
-Will you give me her address?
-Sure.
CALL ME – JIMMY
It's September 10, 2009.
Rehearsal of the band ŁAAD.
My name is Alex Gajewicz.
Backing vocals and keyboard.
On the bass, Sylwia Leśniak.
Jacek Ławniczak.
Lyrics, vocals, music, lead guitar.
And last but not least, the best drummer
in the world, Szymon Adamiuk.
Okay.
What?
…drummer in the world, Szymon Adamiuk.
Okay.
Ta-da!
Hi.
Kamila, I got a video from Jimmy.
-They didn't make a mistake.
-What?
They didn't make a mistake.
Jacek is… Szymon Adamiuk.
Slow down, Greta. I don't get it.
On the ŁAAD website, Jacek is Szymon.
They labeled the photos correctly.
My husband's real name is Szymon Adamiuk.
So Jacek lied to you?
Damn.
Greta. Maybe you want to talk, huh?
Will you get the kids from school?
Sure.
Good morning, Mrs. Adamiuk.
Mrs. Adamiuk, are you there?
Why are you bothering me again?
I want to talk about your son.
I told you already,
Szymon is abroad. Go away!
Ma'am, Szymon… was kidnapped.
And he barely survived.
He's in the hospital, after surgery.
Can you take me there?
I'll just get dressed.
-Where did you get these?
-Can we go?
Where did you get these photos?
These are my kids.
I know, Greta.
I know whose kids they are.
God.
My dear son.
I have to go and get the kids.
Go. I'll stay with him.
Have you seen each other often?
As often as we could.
Greta.
Listen to me.
Before you decide to do anything,
Szymon tried to save me.
I was very sick.
After that boy's death,
Szymon changed his identity.
He did it to…
get money for my operation.
There… will be time to talk.
He made a mistake.
But it was too late to back out of it.
He sacrificed everything.
My life…
wasn't worth it.
We all paid for it,
but he paid the highest price.
I have to go.
It's September 10, 2009.
Rehearsal of the band ŁAAD.
My name is Alex Gajewicz.
Backing vocals and keyboard.
On the bass, Sylwia Leśniak.
Jacek Ławniczak.
Lyrics, vocals, music, lead guitar.
And last but not least, the best drummer
in the world, Szymon Adamiuk.
Okay.
What is this all about?
They conned me.
-They conned us all.
-Who did?
Jimmy, why did you give me this?
Why are you faking your memory loss?
Okay. You know what? Fuck you.
Wait. You were there.
You saw everything.
Greta!
-Leave me alone.
-I know how it looked.
Leave me alone!
Don't tell anyone.
Who are you?
I swear, it was an accident.
I was in the dressing room alone.
Suddenly, Jacek rushed in.
Jacek, what's up?
You stole my song, fucker.
Get the fuck back on stage
and say who really wrote that number.
-I'm calling security.
-Get back on stage, motherfucker.
And say who really wrote that number.
I didn't steal anything.
"Just One Look" is plagiarism.
You turned it into shit!
-Touch me again--
-And you'll do what, huh?
I'm telling the truth. It was an accident.
I spent years in the shadows, like a rat.
Because you felt guilty?
Because you killed Jacek?
Can you stop?
It was an accident.
Because I have never stolen anything.
I wrote that song.
It's mine.
Jimmy, how far were you willing to go
for this to stay a secret?
The girls from the band
knew about the song and about Jacek.
-That's why you killed Alex Gajewicz.
-I never killed anyone.
And you killed Sylwia Leśniak,
so the article wouldn't get published.
You think I could kill for some song?
I don't know.
You tell me. Who could do that?
I've done many stupid things.
But nothing like this.
Then who killed those people?
Watch the video again.
Call an ambulance!
Somebody call an ambulance!
Jimmy…
This feeling might last
Only if you want to
Old photos, unclear paths on the map
Maybe something's waiting for us
We've got time
And please, let's both give in
To something that is stronger than us
This one look that brings us together
And you know I'm yours
And you know I'm yours
Dalewski, don't you have kids
crying at home?
Did you check Adamiuk's mother for me?
She's clean. No run-ins with the law.
Did you know Jimmy D.,
that musician, was hit by a car?
Dead on the spot.
Yeah?
And?
He's the "Just One Look" guy.
That's the anthem from the 2009 concert
where Rembiewska almost died.
Are you suggesting she ran him over?
I know she didn't.
She was talking to him earlier.
Right before he was hit by the car.
They questioned her there as a witness.
These coincidences are killing me.
I really need to take some time off.
Maybe we should pull back a bit?
The kidnapper is dead.
The kidnapped found.
Lewiński is not our problem.
And the musician ran in front of the car.
Are you being serious?
Maybe we got too caught up in this,
and we weren't looking where we should.
But I know where we should look.
Where?
I'll tell you tomorrow.
Go home.
Bye.
Kids, brush your teeth.
See you in bed in five minutes.
Go on.
Mom!
Coming.
Will we see Daddy
first thing in the morning?
We'll see him when the doctors let us.
I have a feeling though,
it will happen very soon.
-Sleep.
-Life likes me after all, Mom.
Of course.
-Good night.
-Good night.
Mom.
Will you promise
that everything will go back to normal?
I promise.
I promise, honey.
Good morning.
Good morning.
We woke your husband up
sooner than we anticipated.
Is everything okay?
He's still very weak.
May I?
For a moment.
Hi, beautiful.
Hi… Szymon.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't tell you the truth.
I thought about it every day,
but I couldn't.
When I saw that old photo,
I knew I didn't want to go on like this.
I was young.
I was in trouble.
Sandra took advantage of that.
Hey, golden princess!
Where are you rushing to?
Yeah!
Jimmy relinquished his authorship.
I promised to take care of it, and I did.
That's cool.
What about my offer?
Why all this circus, Sandra?
Royalties are inheritable.
After Jacek's death, they're yours.
Not mine. My father's.
My father is first in line.
Maybe talk to him.
He hates me. And the feeling is mutual.
The money will go to his wife and kids.
I won't see a penny.
That's why Jacek has to live on. Get it?
How do you expect this to work?
I know people who can help forge a new ID.
You'll assign most of your "Just One Look"
royalties to me. Your sister.
I'll put all the money
into a guarantee fund,
which I'll continually fill
with the royalties.
In 10 or 15 years,
that will be a lot of money.
You can do whatever you want
with your share.
I know you need money.
No, I don't.
Your mom is dying.
Stay the fuck away from my mom.
I can pay for her operation.
That's not a bad deal, huh?
Your mother's life for an identity change.
So, what will it be?
Little brother.
She blackmailed us all.
We had to stay quiet about Jacek's death.
And then…
I met you in France.
And you didn't remember a thing.
You didn't remember we were together once.
That meeting…
wasn't a coincidence.
I had been looking for you.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
This is funny.
-What is?
-Déjà vu.
What do you mean? A glitch in the matrix?
No, I mean…
Jesus…
It's as if…
As if I've met you before.
Impossible.
Wanna go for a swim?
But will you stay with me?
Yes.
I don't know. I'm a bit scared.
Don't worry. Just trust me.
Waves are small. Wind is calm.
-It'll be fine. You'll see.
-Okay.
Okay? All right?
What's going on?
Jacek, what's going on? Huh?
Please leave.
-But what's wrong?
-Please leave, now!
Now!
Please leave, Ms. Greta.
Please leave.
Jacek!
Promise me you will always stay with me.
That I'll see you in our children's eyes.
Can I live without you?
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
-I was planning to see you today.
-You have to hear me out.
And help me.
Thank you.
These constant unannounced visits
are becoming tiresome.
Water?
You were right.
I really don't know Jacek.
And I never have.
And I never will, right?
Because I wasn't your brother's wife.
What do you mean?
Jacek Ławniczak is dead.
And you talked Szymon Adamiuk
into assuming his identity.
If that were true, the man you loved
lied to you all these years?
Yes, that was the case.
When Jacek saw that photo,
he knew he could no longer
deceive me. Me and the kids.
I'll just deal with it once and for all.
He called you.
You got scared he would snap.
You knew you had to act fast.
You said you'd help him.
So you two set up a meeting.
I won't listen to this.
Alex Gajewicz.
Sylwia Leśniak.
Szymon Adamiuk.
And Jacek Ławniczak.
The one with her back turned is you.
Still, that's no crime.
Not cool, huh?
That after 15 years,
this old photo suddenly surfaced.
Showing your deceased brother
and his new incarnation.
You must've watched too many movies.
Sandra.
Your brother died that night,
after the concert.
Jimmy killed him.
But you did nothing about it.
You covered it all up.
The fire helped you cover your tracks.
Defending Lewiński,
you had everything under control.
They found the culprit.
The case was closed.
Lewiński was my client,
like anyone who needs a good lawyer.
You know how to be effective.
Jimmy, you killed my brother.
-You owe it to him.
-I'll do whatever you want.
You forced Jimmy
to give you the rights to "Just One Look."
The song became a hit.
You were making money.
And you paid the band members
to stay quiet.
You have a really vivid imagination.
Strange, huh?
That everyone who knew the truth
is now dead.
Alex Gajewicz.
Hit by a car.
-Supposedly, an accident.
-Because it was.
Haven't you heard?
Who hired you?!
That your hit man talked?
Impossible.
What is? That he talked,
or that you hired him?
And Sylwia Leśniak?
She was afraid too.
She knew that the only way
was to change her name and disappear.
And when she wanted to publish an article
about the concert fire,
she was found dead.
Another accident?
What is it that you expect?
That after your bizarre story,
I'll, I don't know, open up and confess?
Since you feel guilty--
You'll twist my words now?
Go to the police and tell them what?
Because I'm not sure
why you came here. With what?
Will they believe someone
with memory loss,
who accuses people because of her husband?
I didn't make this up.
Jimmy gave me a video.
Right before a car hit him
in the middle of the city.
You must've heard what happened to him.
I asked you not to dig up the past.
-To leave it alone.
-Oh, yes.
You tried to silence me too.
Do you realize you're as guilty
as everyone else? You saw everything.
Unfortunately…
I don't remember a thing
from that concert.
-I'm still waiting for proof.
-That's what the police are for.
Sorry for not telling you earlier.
I was recording our conversation. In case
you wish to twist my words in the future.
I didn't say or do anything that'd be
grounds to accuse me of anything.
Where did you get that photo?
I don't know.
Sandra Kowalska?
You're under arrest.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can be used against you.
You understand, right?
Hands.
TWO MONTHS LATER
It's too early for the art show.
I'm not here for the art show.
I wanted you to see this.
What is this?
My daughter's diary.
She wrote it all down.
Including Jacek and Szymon's
identity change.
I rattled the cage, hoping that…
I'd learn the truth about Alex's death.
So… you knew all along?
I didn't know it was Sandra
who hired Skalewski.
I thought your husband did.
I don't understand.
The pathologist
analyzed the autopsy report.
My daughter wasn't pregnant
with your husband's child.
She was faking it.
She wanted to win back a guy
who already loved another woman.
I paid the guy from the photo lab
to plant that picture.
I found it in the diary.
You crossed out her face?
And signed the other photo
where Alex is pregnant?
The bugs in my flat. That was also you?
Why did you come here?
I just wanted to find out
what really happened to my daughter.
Many people died because of that photo.
Do you think it was worth it?
You've never wondered
who took that picture 15 years ago?
You'd better go.
-Yeah.
-Hi.
Hi.
-Will you take a picture of us?
-Yeah, sure.
Great.
-Hi, Greta!
-Hi.
-Come on, stand here.
-Attention, ŁAAD.
Okay. One more?
