It was early morning, I brought timber for planks to the sawmill,
Then I picked up my beehives because my bees froze to death,
And I took a shortcut from Rapa through the forest to Truskasy,
It was a gray dawn, The grass was frosty,
I was riding at a slow pace,
Halfway there, near three oak trees,
I saw some green creatures,
They looked like cute little frogs,
They were as tall as,,, my neighbors' children,
And they had huge eyes,
Out of it, there slid down,,,
a tiny elevator?
Like I said, a tiny elevator,
I rode this tiny elevator up inside,
Anybody out there?
Hey, pals!
PROJECT UFO
According to the polygraph, he's not lying,
- So he saw the UFO? - Yes,
Subjectively, he's convinced of that,
And objectively?
- Objectively, I don't believe in UFOs, - This is not about believing,
Why do they always land in some shithole?
Well, they land in discreet places,
The results are promising,
We have to continue our investigation,
- Now we're going on a site inspection? - Yes,,,
Then we'll get his blood tested
for alkaloids, psychedelics, and barbiturates,
We must keep our eyes and ears open, We're looking for another witness,
THE PIAST DYNASTY HALL
Find me a sketch artist,
Good morning, Mr, Zbigniew,
Mrs, Wierusz,
- What are you doing here? - Conducting business,
Our joint business,
Can you tell me what's going on?
Did the Martians come here or not?
People keep asking questions, it's time they got answers,
I'm a journalist after all, and my duty is to tell the truth,
It's hard to draw any conclusions,
Mr, Polgar and I have an agreement that until we've finished some tests together,
we'll remain silent,
What you're saying is very interesting
because I know for a fact
that Mr, Polgar is conducting those tests right now,
And you don't seem to be involved,
Impossible,
We had a deal, after all,
It was me who discovered it,
It was me who first interviewed Mr, Kunik,
That's why I'm meeting you, and not Polgar,
You can still tell me everything,
You can cut that old satyr down to size,
Eyes like these?
A little bigger,
And a fin on the back,
A bit like a fish, a bit like a frog,
And no one's suffered from any mental illness in your family?
I'm asking if your folks were healthy,
Well, sure,,,
I mean, my uncle had arteriosclerosis,
Mrs, Weronika,,,
Mrs, Weronika! Say, love,
are you here to do a story on us?
Yes, of course,
We'll soon begin a hunger strike,
- A hunger strike, exactly, - Right,
Mrs, Weronika, here, follow me, Please,
FREE POLAND
- Good morning, Mrs, Janina, - Morning, Mr, Zbyszek,
Can I have the keys to the archive, please?
Here you go,
Good morning,
Hi, Zbynio!
I didn't know you were coming,
The sound system won't be here till tomorrow,
I'm sorry, Mrs, Weronika Wierusz,
Tadeusz Gajewski,
Mrs, Weronika took the trouble to visit me,
So, let's go to the archive, I'll show you everything,
- Did you see that? - I did!
Please, watch your head,
Sure!
Tadzio!
Please add me to the list of speakers for tomorrow,
- I'll make an announcement, - Something new?
About Truskasy,
Splendid,
- Dr, Stachula and Dr, Marucha, - Hi, Glad that you got here before dark,
We're so sorry, a truck broke down,,,
It's okay, Got a Geiger counter?
- Just like you asked, - Perfect, Get me,,,
Get me,,,
Get me Mr, Kunik now,
Mr, Józef, show us everything,
Go to the meeting place,
and I'll record it, since it's a momentous moment,
How's it going?
Fuck, Julia, I draw people, not amphibians,
Welcome to our archive,
It's safe to say it's the biggest such collection in this part of Europe,
maybe even the whole continent,
Impressive, Truly impressive,
And who is this?
This?
This is a Pleiadean woman from the Pleiades,
You look a bit like her,
But let me show you,,,
what they looked like,
Right,,, here,
Near these trees,
By this small pond,,, this small body of water,
an extraordinary meeting took place,
The spacecraft was hovering like,,,
Like,,, Like a balloon,
And this bare patch, has it always been here, Mr, Kunik?
No, never!
Maybe the engines burned it?
How should I know?
Or a chemical agent?
It was them who, thousands of years ago,
enlarged the brain of Homo sapiens,
They also built the pyramids in Egypt and Mexico,
and those incredible statues on Easter Island,
- Beautiful, aren't they? - Yeah,
Here's the most interesting part,
It might seem they come from space,
They don't! They come from under the water,
- From around here, - Is that so?
From this place near Bermuda,
the so-called Bermuda Triangle,
- You know the Bermuda Triangle? - Certainly,
That is why we shouldn't call them UFOs,
that is, unidentified flying objects,
but rather USOs,
- USOs? - Yes,
Unidentified submerged objects,
As early as 1665, over the Baltic Sea near the town of Stralsund,
a group of fishermen saw such USOs fighting,
Let me show you a flying saucer,
Mr, Stachula!
Take a look at the broken branches,
Do you think this damage might have been caused by a spacecraft?
Possibly,
It can't have been a moose for sure,
No, I guess it wasn't a moose,
Dr, Stachula from the Department of Chemistry and Biology
at the Academy of Agriculture and Technology is absolutely sure
that these branches were not broken by a moose,
Plus, there are no giraffes in Warmia,
On the basis of today's site inspection, we conclude
that these branches were probably broken
by a high-technology machine,
This is what a USO looks like,
I don't know if you're aware of this,
The Earth is riddled with thousands of pneumatic canals,
which are used by these creatures for traveling,
It so happens I live by such a lake
where the hatch of one of those canals is located,
- Near your house? - Yes,
Do you know a certain,,, Ms, Helena Podgórska?
She's the one who sent me a letter about the landing in Truskasy,
She sent it from a post office located nearby,
- Interesting, - Isn't it?
She lives on Chryzantemy Street, number 44,
I'm sure you know where that is, This town isn't the size of an ocean,
Gentlemen!
- Gentlemen! - What's going on?
It's increased,
Not much, but increased,
Feathers!
Feathers! Mr, Józef!
Mr, Józef, you said,,,
Mr, Józef Kunik, who witnessed the event, said that,,,
One moment,
Mr, Józef Kunik, who witnessed the event,
said there had been dead birds in the spacecraft,
Dead birds,
Lying on their backs,
Mr, Polgar!
Our sketch artist has finished the facial composite,
He looks,,, familiar,
Here's 36, slow down,
Thirty-eight,,,
Forty, 42,,,
Pull over!
Mr, Sokolik, it seems that
44 Chryzantemy Street doesn't exist,
It seems like it, yeah,
Let's go,
Maybe we should put it up in the area? Someone might come forward,
And we'll write, "Wanted: Martian,"
- We need to find a second witness, - Fuck, You're not joking,
A cola, please,
Janek, look, Isn't that Wierusz's wife?
Put it on my tab, room 214,
The secretary recently bought a fur coat for her, Paid with rubles,
Or maybe, "Wanted: Ufonaut,"
Good one,
I missed you, teddy bear,
Come on, don't get so upset,
I'm here to do a story on the local protests,
You know, everyone is only talking about Pomerania now,
I thought I'd do a bit about Warmia,
Here, you can also feel the wind of change,
I heard there will be a hunger strike,
So what? We just happened to meet?
By accident?
Jaś, don't play dumb,
Of course it's an accident,
Thank you,
Excuse me,
- Got any ham? - Yes,
Good, In that case, I'd like some scrambled eggs, fried in butter, with ham,
Coming right up,
- Has Mrs, Weronika eaten already? - Yes, She looked sleepy,
- Three eggs, please, - Yes, sir,
- Good morning, Mr, Polgar, - Good morning,
Have you come for our meeting?
No,
I hoped you would,
- The presentations look impressive, - Presentations?
Yes, Zbyszek Sokolik will be talking about that event,
What event?
That's rather obvious,
So you're more than welcome,
This time we'll hear everything!
Zbyszek?
You home?
Madam Corporal?
Zbyszek is fixing my TV,
He's not here,
Maybe he's at Gaia,
There you are!
But the conference is scheduled for the evening,
- We're looking for Sokolik, - What has he done?
Mr, Tadeusz, come on, Where is Zbyszek?
I don't know, He'll be here at 3 p,m, to check the sound system,
He's going to give a lecture about the landing in Truskasy,
Cut it out already!
You'll have to wait,
Excuse me,
Can I help you?
It's jammed, I think,
I can't listen to those,,, those lunatics anymore,
Enthusiasts,
What about Sokolik now?
I'll wait for him here and you can go home,
The TV isn't going anywhere,
What do you want from him?
I want to stop him from talking about the landing in Truskasy,
It's too soon, Too soon for a revelation like that,
You believe that it's all true?
I think it's a possible scenario,
Not as an enthusiast,
Thanks,
But as a scientist,
And you?
- Me? - Yeah, Do you believe in UFOs?
I have another witness,
Are you going to question her?
What for?
Don't do it, She's dealing with enough already,
Mr, Polgar will only chat with Sara, Dad,
You've heard her talk about a friend she meets by the lake,
- So you've brought him to our home? - I'm working, Dad,
It might have something to do with the Truskasy case,
Nonsense!
Well, then look
at what she drew,
Excuse me, may I?
- Did she really draw it? - Yes,
Sir, please, let me talk to her, Just for a moment,
Please,
Do what you want,
She is strange,
- Just like her father, - Stop it!
Where is she?
I knew you'd come,
You did?
He told me, "He'll come and ask you questions,"
- Who? - He did,
He did?
You saw them, didn't you?
What's taking him so long?
He should join the Solidarity and not mess with people's minds,
The Forest District kicked you out, that's how your Solidarity helped us,
Sit down, Dad,
Would you read something out loud?
Oh, maybe this one,
"A few days ago, near the village of--"
I have to solve this case
before I turn blind and get fired,
Your political resistance won't feed us,
Sara witnessed something huge,
Something momentous,
She saw them,
She described everything in her own words,
She saw what Kunik saw,
It changes everything,
Everything,
God,,,
This is a breakthrough, We have a witness,
Two witnesses! We have,,,
We have the Polish Roswell,
Volumes from 1930 to 1980,
Do not fold the pages!
PERIPHERIES
Thank you,
Mr, Zbyszek,
Once again, thank you for your help, It was invaluable,
Please take care of yourself,
These are dangerous, unstable times,
I will,
Once again, thank you so much,
Please sign here,
We're calling on the authorities to release all those unjustly sentenced,
STRIKE
- Good afternoon, Mrs, Janina, - Afternoon,
DOWN WITH THE BOLSHEVIKS!
Janek?
What a surprise, When did you arrive?
I've been here
for two days,
I'm conducting, you know,
an investigation into our case,
I have some new findings,
You're investigating our case, huh?
"Our" case,
So why am I not involved?
- For the cause-- - You had to take me off the case?
I took that photo by the lake,
It was me who first interviewed Kunik and talked about USO,
Not everyone thinks you're credible,
And stop talking about the USO, It doesn't help,
I discovered it, I have the right to talk about it,
There's another witness,
The daughter of that policewoman, Borewicz,
- Impossible, - And yet, she told me everything,
Sara?
Zbyszek, don't deliver your speech,
Let's make a TV show and announce it together,
- We've already made one show, - Shall I apologize again?
Listen to me!
It doesn't matter who will announce it, you fool,
Everyone's talking about it, Even your mistress,
My mistress?
Weronika Wierusz,
What? You didn't know she came here? You're both staying at the same hotel,
You!
Did you betray our case?
- Did you sell it? - "Television has its own rules,"
- You said it yourself, - Where is she now?
Don't know, She's probably taking the footage to Warsaw,
You're a complete idiot, you know that?
You're a fucking idiot!
Are you using the phone? May I?
Hello?
Hello,
Hello!
For fuck's sake,
Excuse me,
For many weeks,
I've been conducting extensive research into a mysterious event in Truskasy,
A local beekeeper, Mr, Józef Kunik,
he met creatures that looked exactly like the ones from this book,
There are people who believe,
like our recent guest at Gaia, Mr, Jan Polgar,
that those creatures come from space,
but it's not true,
It's enough to examine their appearance
to admit beyond doubt that they are underwater creatures,
Here,
A dorsal fin,
webbed toes,
the bronchiole, no ears, large eyes,
I've been repeatedly mocked,
Laughed at,
But today, I'm the one who's laughing,
Because my initial hypothesis
has proved to be valid owing to Mr, Józef Kunik,
However,,,
it wasn't only Kunik who saw frog people,
They were also seen by
a teenage girl, Sara Borewicz,
She also saw the frog people!
Janek? Janek,,,
Quiet, Calm down,
What is it?
How could you do this to me? How could you?!
Quiet!
Jaś, are you nuts? What is this about?
- Weronika, Her story, - Don't exaggerate,,,
- Don't exaggerate, - Look,,,
How could you let her go there?
How did you dare do this to me? For fuck's sake,,,
Marian!
Do you realize what we're dealing with?
- It wasn't my decision, - Please, you can't,,,
You can't broadcast Wera's show or what she shot there,
You will ruin something really great,
I'll pay you!
I have foreign currency,
- How much do you want? - Janek, don't be silly, Put it away!
- Want to turn me into a money changer? - I'm sorry,
People are watching, Where did you get the dollars anyway?
- Marian, we can't waste a story so big, - Jaś!
- This is our Roswell, - Jaś!
You've won, I won't broadcast it,
- Really? - Calm down!
- You promise? - Calm down,
- Swear, - It's okay,
I swear,
- Thank you, - Enough!
Thank you,
- Cut it out, Jasiek! - Thank you very much,
Thank you very much, gentlemen,
Take care, bye,
Julia,,,
Take a look, it's what Sara drew,
So she really saw them?
It's impossible,
It looks exactly like that book, The Optimum Encounter,
- Are you meeting up with her? - With whom?
Is it you who meets her by the lake?
Me? No, I never see Sara, not at all,
How is it,,, But,,,
Don't worry,
Hey!
Don't worry, They are totally harmless,
Don't drag her into your fucked-up world!
Get it?
And fix the fucking TV!
Mrs, Weronika?
I need to talk to you,
Do you realize it discredits the whole event?
Does Janek know about it?
Janek has been,,, rather busy lately,
Of course, We shouldn't bother him now,
This story is already snowballing,
Besides, it's always better to keep your cards close to your chest,
You can always use it in the future,
How could I possibly use it?
You're smart, You can come up with something,
You can't live in his shadow forever,
IGNACY KUNIK FROM TRUSKASY HAD A DIVINE REVELATION
Come on, don't get so upset,
I'm here to do a story on the local protests,
You know, everyone is only talking about Pomerania now,
I thought I'd do a bit about Warmia,
Kittel, does your father come from Iraq?
Or is it your mother?
My mother,
Oh, you see,,,
I always thought it was your father,
Here, you can also feel the wind of change,
I've heard there'll be hunger strikes,
So what? We just happened to meet? By accident?
Jaś, don't play dumb,
Of course it's an accident,
