The Mothers of Penguins (2024) s01e03 Episode Script

The Challenges

1
[intriguing music playing]
I wonder whose idea this mess was.
Ridiculous.
Apparently, someone wants these kids
to have a challenge.
- Jesus Christ.
- [mom 2] I don't know what I'm gonna do.
- I'll have to take off work.
- [mom 1] Jesus.
[woman 2] I don't know who came up
with this, but it complicates things.
- Let's go to class, kids. Come on.
- [mom 2] You stop that!
- [mom 1] Come on, come on.
- Go to class.
- [mom 1] Go to class.
- Look! How cool!
- You're taking a trip to the mountains.
- [Jaś] But what for?
What do you mean? To climb up
and reach the top of the mountain.
"The parents of dependent children
are requested to att attend the trip."
- Okay.
- Hey.
So you're coming with me, then.
Hey.
Buddy, come on. Come here.
They said "dependent" children, okay?
And that means
Well, you know, someone like Michał.
You get it?
WONDERFUL HARBOR
[man] Come on, come on. Go, go, go, go.
Hey.
TRAIL TO DZIEWICA SUMMI
The area's exceptionally gorgeous,
and you can take your kids too.
Just be careful
if the weather's like it is today.
A gale must've passed through
because we've got some fallen trees
on the trail today.
But it's a fantastic spot
to relax in nature.
["Blah Blah Blah"
by Armin van Buuren playing]
THE MOTHERS OF PENGUINS
Um, so is there
a design for the campaign yet?
[soft jazz music playing]
Mm-hmm. Absolutely!
Madzia, please show Miss Barska
our agency's proposal.
[clears throat]
I meant to [clears throat]
send you everything via email today.
Thank you.
Yes, so, uh,
here is what it would look like.
CAROLINE PANTYHOSE
POWER OVER SEX APPEAL
[Madzia] Obviously, we know
that kicks are your power move, so
Isn't that impressive?
Yes.
Uh-huh, and this, uh
This is "power over sex appeal"?
Well, of course, if you really want to,
you can wear something like a sports bra
or, you know, um, bandeau, or, uh
No, first, rip off the tail,
then you do the claws.
Basically, uh [laughs]
you have nothing to hide, right?
I'd like to propose a toast
to a successful partnership.
If Kamila Barska wants something,
it's what she gets, right?
- [Madzia] To success.
- Yes, to success.
Hip, hip, hooray.
[melodic house music playing]
[Jaś grunts]
Jasiek, come on, would you, please?
The sooner we find you a pair of shoes,
the faster we can go home.
I have my own shoes already!
But not like these.
They're special for the mountain.
- They'll help your ankles.
- How about this pair?
They're orange inside,
and they're waterproof also, huh?
[gasps]
Jasiek!
Someone better control that kid.
What's the matter, Jaś?
Why are you doing this?
I don't wanna go
on that lousy school trip!
Mom, in all of these, I'm crying.
But that's great
because it means he'll grow out of it.
Or it means [clears throat]
you hated when
your father forced you to do all that.
Oh, you know what?
Maybe him forcing me was good.
I mean, look how I turned out.
And anyway, I don't wanna force him.
I just wanna give him some motivation.
Good. That's wonderful.
It's just that maybe he's not quite ready
for managing that stuff alone.
He's not gonna be alone!
All his classmates will be there.
And Miss Ania!
- This is a new school with new kids.
- And that's the point.
The kids and the school are different,
and a challenge will build character.
Kamuś.
Sweetheart.
Just what are you trying
to prove to yourself?
[sighs] Nothing.
Hmm?
I want to prove it to Jaś.
So he knows he can manage.
I don't want to raise him to be disabled.
Do you understand?
[breathes deeply]
[door opens]
Grandma, I'm done now!
Grandma's coming.
What are you doing?
Why are you trotting over there?
You can handle it, Jasiek.
[phone line ringing]
[therapist] One more lap.
Come on, come on.
- Yes, that's it. Good. One, two.
- [phone line ringing]
- [Tatiana's husband] Hi.
- Hey.
- Something happen?
- No, no. Everything's fine. It's just, um
[therapist] Leg high.
I'd like for Michał
to go on this trip with his class.
- But
- [therapist] One, two, three.
Wait a minute.
I'm sorry about that. We'll fix it.
[therapist] Knees straight
and equally as high.
See? You've got a great angle.
What the fuck?
I told you how you should do this!
And you did it your own way!
[therapist] Bravo.
How many fucking times did I say?
Now we gotta do it all over again.
[man 2] Okay, okay, boss. We will.
That's fucking right.
Would you repeat that?
[Tatiana] Yes.
I'd like for Michał
to go on this trip with his class.
- [therapist] Well, here you go.
- Okay.
But his wheelchair
can't get up there, you said.
That's correct. It's just
I was thinking
that if you came up there with us,
maybe you could carry him in the carrier.
- He's only 20 kilos.
- I'm not a baby. I don't agree to it.
And one, two Do 'em standing up.
[speaking Polish on phone]
[therapist] Yes, great. Now try
I wasn't able to tell you yet.
But we're behind with work,
and I won't make it home this weekend.
No. You haven't said yet.
Which is why I've just said it!
Tatiana, listen.
I I feel like you care more
about this trip than Michał does.
- [disconnect tone]
- [emotional music playing]
[therapist] Beautiful. Once again.
WONDERFUL HARBOR
- You take such wonderful care of our kids.
- I really can't.
- I'm begging you.
- I can't keep control of Hela in the open.
Either you come with us on the trip,
or we have to leave Hela.
- How am I supposed to deal with her?
- Miss Ania, I'm begging you!
- [mom 1] Will your daughter be able to go?
- Jesus, the sky is falling.
- [Ula] Totally.
- [Kama] Go change.
[Ula] I wonder
[screaming]
Who was the one that wanted
our kids to have challenges?
[mom 2] Unfortunately,
it wasn't my idea. Too bad.
Because I think every child should be able
to enjoy those kinds of things, right?
You know, I even took a day off work
to go with Andrzejek on this trip.
Ever since that situation during
the online class that someone hosted,
he's been afraid to go to school.
Andrzejek, please tell me.
Were you scared when you were,
uh, over at Tola's house?
- Excuse me! Tola!
- Were you scared?
Hey, hey, ladies, chill out!
- We're not here for a catfight, are we?
- No.
I can't even.
A field trip is a great idea.
It's two kilometers each way.
Come on. Every kid
can waddle up to the top somehow.
- Not exactly, Kama.
- Mrs. Tracz. Mrs. Tracz.
Mrs. Tracz, your son can't go,
and neither can mine.
Maybe you'll join us?
We're gathering signatures
to cancel the trip.
Mama, Mama! The trip is canceled?
[intriguing music playing]
[knocking at door]
[door closes]
Why didn't you make this trip accessible
for the kids like Michał?
[music ends]
Miss Kamila.
Well [chuckles]it's either
a trip to the mountains
and challenges for the kids
or wheelchairs.
Isn't this what you wanted?
But shouldn't a school like this have,
well, some kind of
Some specialized equipment?
Benecykl. That's what they're called.
And the school doesn't have one
because they cost
about 10,000 zlotys each.
Unfortunately,
we can't always please everyone.
Are you serious?
Sorry, but every day,
you've got Michał's mother sitting
in her car for half the day
because her son
can't go to the bathroom on his own.
What? Are they supposed to be
pleased about that?
The entirety of the money
from Michał's disability statement
goes to his rehab and equipment.
The school has already offered Mrs. Tracz
a nurse assistant for an extra cost.
However, for the amount
that Michał's mother is offering, I
I can't find anyone.
This is all
It's just a lot more complex
than you think.
[knocking at door]
Sir, pardon.
We're here to talk about the trip.
[mom 2] How do you
actually see it happening?
Precisely.
[intriguing music playing]
Thanks a lot. See ya.
- [knocking on window]
- Jesus!
You got a minute?
[tuts, sighs]
[light jazz music playing]
Listen, what if, um,
we do our own fundraiser
to get a Benecykl, you know, for Michał?
You know, I [sighs]
I don't know.
And what about the other two kids
with physical disabilities, then?
I just feel like it'd be easier to
to cancel this whole trip.
- [clippers click]
- Ah!
[nail technician] I'm sorry.
It's okay. I'm just not really a fan.
[Ula laughing]
You fight in a ring, and you're afraid
of her filing your nails?
[laughing]
I'm sorry. [laughing]
- It's an octagon.
- Mm-hmm.
I just hate when someone's doing
something to me I can't control.
Oh, really? I love it. It's great.
Nothing more relaxing in the world.
And, you know, when that awful hag
made all of those baseless accusations
about Tola, I
I scratched off everything.
Look at that. It's totally ruined.
Okay. So what if
it was Tola who couldn't go?
Would you still wanna cancel the trip?
Sometimes, kids like them
need to be challenged.
It's good for their development.
[Maciek] Good night.
Don't let the bed bugs bite.
- [taxi driver] Good night.
- [Maciek] Good night.
[dog barks]
[Maciek] Hmm. Yeah. Who are you waving at?
[Maciek whistling]
Kids!
Come here. I need help with this!
- Why are you home so late?
- [therapist] Tola, will you come back?
- No wonder you're so late, Dad!
- She'll be right there.
- [therapist] I'll wait in the SI room.
- Just a second. I'll bring her in there.
- Goodbye.
- Bye-bye!
- Hey, Tola. Goodbye.
- Bye-bye.
Maciek, can we do it later?
Tola's got therapy.
- Look what I've got for you.
- Are we celebrating
You might say that
your husband was successful at work today
and wanted to share his joy
because joy should be shared.
This is amazing
because I was thinking the same thing.
Tola's going on this mountain field trip.
You know, I told you about it.
And it turns out
that the school is completely unprepared.
- This is for you.
- Because three kids need Benecykls.
- The school has none!
- [Maciek] Here you go.
- Are you even listening?
- Of course I'm listening.
And me and Kama were thinking
She's the fighter, you know?
[Franek] This is so cool!
We thought we could chip in
to get the Benecykls for the kids
because just one of those damn things
costs ten grand.
What's going on here?
Christmas is six months away!
- For the best mother-in-law.
- Already doing presents?
- [Maciek kisses]
- [Ula's mom] Are you insane?
Look, I'd really like to help
with these Benecykls, all right?
- [Maciek] Now, now, now.
- Maciek?
- [Franek] A present.
- Uh-huh!
[Franek] From Daddy to Mommy!
[Ula gasps]
- [Maciek] Hmm?
- No way.
- I'll take this.
- [Maciek] And?
You bought me this?
- Mm
- [Ula] How did you know?
I was looking at a bag
just like this one yesterday!
It's beautiful! Oh my goodness! Honey!
Thank you. You're
[both moan]
I really wanna help the school
with the Benecykls.
- A trip like this
- I'm aware, but you can't do it like that.
Okay, then how?
- [Maciek] We can't just buy them.
- [Ula] Why not?
How do you think the parents
who can't afford it will feel?
They would be humiliated.
No, don't exaggerate.
Okay. If you really wanna help,
then do it the smart way.
- [Franek] Hello, Grandma!
- [Ula] Um
Use some of your influence
on your social media. You can barter.
Jesus.
You're such a beauty.
[Ula laughs]
[soothing pop music playing]
- Hey.
- Hey.
I'm stoked Ula convinced you to come.
We just need to hurry
because, um, Miss Ania could call me
to take Michał to the toilet.
[Ula] Hey!
I'm coming! I'm coming!
BIKE SHOP
Oh! And and why not?
Ma'am, I I don't do those
those Internet barters,
And I won't lend you them
because, firstly,
how can I ensure
they'll come back in one piece?
And no one's gonna buy them used.
Yes, but, sir, the whole point is
that you'll have more sales after I post.
Look, if even 1% of
the 40,000 followers that I have
And I'm happy to prove it.
if 1% buy one Do you get me?
I do, but I have to get to work.
If you ladies aren't gonna buy anything,
well, then we're done.
Okay, what about, hmm We do only one?
What? No, no. Just one doesn't work.
That would be unfair.
It's everyone or no one.
[Ula] Tatiana
Uh
Hi, I'm Tatiana Tracz,
and my son, Michał,
has muscular dystrophy.
And taking this trip
is a huge dream for him.
I understand, and it's really a tragedy,
but I'm not able to help here.
Stupid dick.
- I'm sorry. What?
- That's crap.
What's the problem?
You're worried they'll get damaged?
Then why not send someone
to keep an eye on them?
Weren't you in here making a scene before?
This is not a scene, okay?
But if you want, I'll show you one.
Ah, I recognize you now.
Okay, girls, let's go.
This whole thing was your idea.
Now you're quitting?
[scoffs]
[Kama sighs]
What would you say
to 150,000 followers, then?
Yeah, and mine added to that
adds up to 190,000.
[intriguing music playing]
[Robert] All right!
You're doing great today. Kama!
Simply the best!
And back, come on!
- Okay.
- [Kama grunts]
Where's all this strength
coming from, girl?
[straining] 'Cause I'm super excited.
Jasiek is going on a field trip.
[grunts]
- [exhales]
- [Robert] Come on!
Last one!
- That's it!
- Robert, this machine keeps breaking.
[Kama groans]
All right, let's take a break.
- [panting]
- [phone ringing]
TOLA'S MOM
What's up, Ula?
Kama, we've got a problem.
The mother of the boy with orthosis
is single,
and the father of the boy with paralysis
has to work.
And the mothers
keep trying to sabotage the trip
because they think they won't be able
to push the strollers themselves.
Can you believe this?
We need, like, two strong guys.
Otherwise, it won't work.
Okay, let me call you back.
- [weight machine clatters]
- [man exhales sharply]
Hey, are you free on Friday?
On Friday? Bodybuilding competition.
The whole club's going.
How come?
W what?
["Małe Voo Voo"
by Indianie Na Tapczanie playing]
[Anna] The areas you see here
were once the bottom of the sea.
And this created many different layers
of rocks we have now.
Uh, and for example,
we have the dolomites,
and we have "margals," and we
- Marls. Sorry. We have marls, marls, and
- [video game beeping]
Hela, turn it down a little, okay?
Turn the screen down a bit.
- Turn it down, Helena.
- We can't hear anything.
- Yes, yes, yes.
- [mom 2] Oh God, right.
- If you vomit, you'll feel better.
- What's going on here?
What do you mean "what's going on here"?
My son's sugar level is too low,
so he's vomiting.
[Anna] Can I help somehow?
- No, no, thank you. We'll manage.
- [retches]
[Anna] I'll continue.
Limestone dominates here as well.
Does anyone know
a characteristic about them?
Inliers and outliers, right?
Who's heard of those?
Inliers and outliers are in
the Polish Jurassic Highland, right?
[mom 2] Not on the seat!
[Jaś] Mama! Mama! Mama!
Mama!
- What?
- Can I please sit over there with you?
What?
Can I just come and sit there with you?
Jasiek, I'm not here. I just came
to help with the Benecykls, remember?
- Oh.
- [Kama] I'm not here.
[Anna] Here, you can see
the trail we'll be following.
Here you go. Take a look.
Go on. Go on. Open it.
[mom 1] Excuse me.
Does anyone have anything
to take for motion sickness?
Anything at all?
Thanks for coming today.
You're welcome.
We haven't trained much, right?
It'll be nice to move around.
[laughs]
[boy 1] Can you bring me water?
[girl 1] I don't have water!
[Anna] Ilia, Antek, come over here!
I'll be right back, Michał.
All right, cool.
[Anna] Alinka, come here.
Come, come, come, come.
Girls, come here. We're lining up, okay?
[children chattering indistinctly]
- [boy 2] Let go of me. That hurts!
- [girl 1] Where is the hare?
[boy 3] There's nothing there!
- [Anna] Let's go. Let's go.
- [boy 4] This walking is boring.
[girl 1] The hare is jumping.
[children chattering indistinctly]
[Kama exhales]
I feel like an idiot for complaining.
And you did so much to help.
[automated voice]
You have just burned 100 calories.
It's really an amazing gesture.
You have your own impaired child,
and you're helping others.
- [Anna] Not far now.
- Jasiek's not impaired.
[Anna] Jasiu!
Jasiu!
Jasiu, we're waiting for you. Come on.
- Hold on.
- [Kama] Excuse me, one second.
Jasiu. Jasiu, we're waiting for you.
Come join the rest of the group.
- Okay, thanks. I'll handle it.
- Okay.
DZIEWICA SUMMI
Mama, did you know that all the trails
on this mountain are nine kilometers,
but our green trail is 2.2 kilometers?
- That's great. Everyone's waiting for you.
- [mom 2] Stay on the path.
Hey, stop that, or you'll fall
and knock all of your teeth out.
[Anna] Oops! Alinka, look.
Look over there. Jasiek, look.
There are kids
who need help over there for real.
And you can manage alone.
- Because you're really not here?
- That's right, kiddo.
- Let's go.
- [Jerzy] Hela!
[mom 2] Andrzej, please come back here.
I'm begging you.
[Jerzy] Hela!
- [mom 2] Let me spray you. Come here.
- [Jerzy] Hela! Come here.
[mom 2] Come on. I wanna spray you.
Walk on the path.
[Jerzy] Helutka! Come here!
I don't have the energy to chase you.
Something to drink?
No, Mom.
The last time you had some was in the car.
- [boy 5] Bravo! Bravo!
- Can I help?
No, thanks. I'm fine.
Aren't you here to watch the Benecykls?
I'm actually a student
at the University of Technology.
- [Jerzy] Hela! Where are you going?
- But I also like hiking.
I liked to go hiking, too,
just on slightly different trails.
[man] True.
This isn't exactly Nanga Parbat.
[Jerzy] Hela! Please come back, sweetie!
No, Mom. You're embarrassing me here!
- Deer! Deer! Deer!
- Run and get her!
- [Jerzy] Helena!
- I'll take over.
- Hela! Hela! Hela!
- Deer! Deer, deer, deer!
- Finally! She doesn't let me live!
- [Jerzy] Hela!
[Jerzy panting]
- [Hela] Deer! Deer! Deer! Deer! Deer!
- [Tatiana] Hela! Heluniu!
Helenka! Hey, calm down. Heluniu.
Deer! Deer! Deer! Deer!
- Heluniu.
- Deer!
Can you tell me what would have to happen
for you to calm down?
Deer! Deer!
- Please, Hela, listen.
- [Hela groans]
Listen. If you can calm down,
we'll look for some deer on the hike.
Okay.
Okay.
Let's find your dad.
[breathing heavily]
[Hela] Dad! Dad!
- Yes, darling. Dad's coming in a sec.
- [Robert] He'll live.
I'll take care of him.
[Jerzy panting]
Sir? Uh, if you keep swallowing air
like that, you might faint.
- Sorry.
- [Robert] Relax. Why sorry?
Because I'm out of shape,
and this is a nightmare.
The only sport I do is running after Hela.
[panting]
[Robert] Let go of the rock, please.
[panting]
You look like a big hiking fan,
you know that?
- Huh?
- "The mountains are calling."
[both laugh]
Oh, that's that's how I communicate
with Helutka.
- Just relax.
- You know who my daughter Oh Jesus.
- Come on, just
- Ow.
- Hey, hey, relax. Please stop talking.
- [panting]
- Now we're just gonna breathe.
- All right.
We'll do it together. Inhale right here,
through your nose, and deep breath.
[both inhale deeply]
Out from your mouth.
[both exhale sharply]
And your nose again.
[both inhale deeply]
- [mom 3] Come on, kids.
- [both exhale sharply]
Great.
[Jerzy] I'm okay now.
Robert.
I'm Jerzy, Robert.
[Ula] God! Still no service?
- [Robert] I'm here.
- [Ula] I'm never gonna get reception.
Can you see me and hear me, guys?
I just couldn't help myself.
I wanted to record a story for you guys
of this awesome trip we're on.
Me and Tola are so excited and energized.
Look. We've got the kids who, otherwise,
couldn't have had the opportunity
to come on this trip
if not for a man with a heart of gold.
A shop owner.
[groans] I swear.
I'm seriously I'm gonna lose it.
Tolushu.
Slowly. Sit down here for a minute
and wait for Mommy, okay? Just a moment.
I need to photograph this trip for you,
even if it means breaking my neck.
- Hello, hello?
- [Andrzej] Why is she sitting like that?
[mom 2] Well, she's sitting
because she's resting.
Because she can. Because
[Tola] Give Mom a phone.
[Andrzej laughs]
But, honey, I haven't got a phone.
We're in the mountains. Look.
No. Give Mom a phone!
[Ula] Toluniu. Toluniu, come here.
We'll do a story at the mountaintop.
We should get reception.
If we get to the top, it means
we climbed the whole thing.
- Now?
- Yes, now. We'll climb to the top.
♪delights me
Do you want to be mine or not? ♪
Your charm delights me ♪
Do you want to ♪
[children chattering indistinctly]
[Ula] Oh, Kama! Kama, come here, love.
Come join us.
You're the only ones missing up here.
- [Kama] You don't say?
- [Ula] Let's move the Benecykls closer.
Come on, Jasiek.
[Ula] Very good. Great.
Let's get Miłosz a little lower here.
- See? We're the last ones.
- [mom 1] I'll take it now, okay?
[Ula] Uh, over here,
we need to see that last Benecykl.
[Kama] Excuse me, please. Excuse me.
- [mom 2] Andrzej.
- Move forward, please.
Hey, stop pushing!
[Jaś] I'm not pushing. You're pushing.
[boy] Miss Ania.
- Mama, I wanna stand with you.
- [Jerzy] Time for a photo, everyone.
Cheese!
[Ula] Everyone, focus just for a moment,
or we'll never take this photo.
With big smiles and energy. Like it's fun!
Come on, guys. On three.
Everyone say, "Harbor."
- One, two, three!
- [boy 5] Harbor!
[all] Harbor!
Ja Jasiek! I'm sorry. Jasiek!
[boy 5] He's running!
[boy 4] Boring.
- Everything okay?
- Mm-hmm.
Jasiek, what are you doing?
You can't run off like that.
But there's also a yellow trail here.
- Let's go back with your class.
- But it's the shortest way down.
And my map doesn't have that one.
[pensive music playing]
Jerzy.
Incoming.
Wasn't it easier to walk
after you adjusted your breathing
to the pace?
Sort of a funny little white lie,
but thanks.
Please. You weren't last in line.
- Someone's dead tired.
- Dead tired?
Helutka, my monster.
She's just recharging.
We've probably got about
a minute and a half, tops.
Well, one or two workouts a week,
and we could get you fit.
[Jerzy] Are you thirsty?
[Hela whimpers]
FITNESS CLUB
Don't worry. I don't only train athletes.
What is it, exactly?
An unknown genetic defect.
It's horrible.
The doctors have no idea how to handle it.
[Robert] Hmm.
Is her mom any help at all?
[both chuckle]
Never mind. I'm I'm sorry.
I I was being nosy.
No, it's all right.
Uh, no, we weren't together, uh
She's a friend. She's a painter.
Uh, wanted to have a child, and
Well, when Hela was born, it
She couldn't handle it.
Doesn't really matter.
[wistful music playing]
- [thunder rumbling]
- [raindrop patters]
[children screaming]
Guys, let's get going! Miss Ania!
[Anna] Okay, quickly, kids!
Let's get to the bus!
[Antoś's mom]
Antoś is gonna get pneumonia!
I told you
we should've stayed near the bus!
- [mom 2] Get your jacket on!
- Why are you panicking?
- [Ula] Tola.
- It'll be okay!
[Antoś's mom] Let's get going!
- [thunder rumbles]
- [Anna] Mother of God!
- [screaming]
- [Robert] Relax, relax!
[mom 2] Let's run!
Everything's blowing away!
- Take it, take it, take it!
- [Anna] Kids, don't shout!
Jasiek located a shorter route down!
[Antoś's mom] Sweet Mary!
We're gonna get hit by lightning!
Quiet down! Quiet!
Jasiek found a shorter trail!
[thunder rumbling]
- [Michał] Mom, watch out for that branch!
- What are you saying?
Tom?
[Michał] Mom, it's so rainy.
- [boy 5] To the forest!
- [Anna] Yes! Go on, go on!
[mom 1] This is some nature reserve.
It doesn't even have a maintained trail!
[girl 1] Mom!
[boy 4] All my clothes are wet, even
[Hela screaming]
[boy 4] Can't the bus come pick us up?
[Hela continues screaming]
[grunting]
[panting, grunting]
You better go and grab your own kid.
I'll handle this.
Jasiek, what's going on?
- [Anna] Oh, damn it! There's a chasm!
- Kama, you good?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're good.
Don't take those off. What
- Jasiek!
- [Tatiana] I'll grab it. I got it.
[Jerzy] It's so slippery.
Helena, don't pull away.
[Robert] Okay, careful.
- [Jerzy] You're all wet.
- [Robert] Come on. Be brave.
- Just a little further.
- [Tatiana] Careful.
Michał, you all right?
- I'm fine.
- [Tatiana] Careful. Oh gosh.
Okay. I got it from here.
- You sure?
- [Tatiana] Yeah, thanks.
- [mom 1] Hey! What about us?
- [Jerzy] Hela, don't pull away!
I'm coming. Can you help?
- [Hela screaming]
- Hela!
- Miss Ania, please watch Hela, okay?
- Okay, okay.
- [Kama] Give me your foot.
- [Jaś] No!
- Put your shoe on!
- [Ula screams]
[mom 2] Oh gosh! [laughs]
- You think it's funny? Really?
- [Tola crying]
Oh, you bet I find
- [screams]
- [Ula] It's okay. I'm fine.
[Tola crying]
[Ula] Are you pleased with yourself?
I know this whole mess today
was all your fucked up idea.
My idea? No. Miss Barska's the one
who wanted to challenge them!
Another one of her great ideas!
Like this trail!
Come here. Where'd you go?
Kama, this trip was your idea?
You already found the trail!
Please stop staring at that map!
- Why are you staring at the map?
- It's obvious!
Kids on the spectrum fixate on things
like that when they feel overwhelmed!
This was too challenging!
Jaś, come on.
To the old trail!
To the old trail! To the old trail!
- Get up, Jasiek. Come on!
- To the old trail! To the old trail!
- Will you stop it? Get up right now!
- You're not here!
[pensive music playing]
That's enough.
Ah! Oh fuck!
[both whimper]
- [Kama panting]
- [Jaś sobbing]
Tola, sit down, please.
And cover yourself. You're all wet, hon.
Oh goodness!
This wasn't exactly expected, was it now?
I look like a disaster.
Wait a sec. I'll show you.
Um So here we've got further proof
that disability is not an obstacle.
We had to trek through a huge storm,
but we handled it all together!
- Isn't that right, Jerzy?
- Ula.
[Ula] Uh, everyone is happy,
uh, and satisfied.
[Tola] I have to poop!
- Poop? We'll go in a minute.
- [Jerzy] Where is she?
Um Uh Anyway, lovelies
- Jesus, where's Hela?
- She's not here?
- [boy 5] Hela!
- [mom 2] Mother of God.
- [girl 2] Hela, where are you?
- Andrzej, where are you?
Mom, you were right about this field trip.
It was so cool.
[Jerzy] Hela!
You lost a child! Do you get that?
- [Anna] Mr. Lejman, please calm down.
- Stop it!
[watch beeping]
- [grunts]
- Mama, does it hurt?
[automated voice] You have reached
your workout goal.
- Mama, does it hurt?
- Just a little.
- Mama.
- You have reached your workout goal.
- [Jerzy] Where are you?
- [Anna] Hela!
[Jerzy] Fucking hell!
I asked you to watch her!
- [Anna] I was!
- Does your leg hurt?
How did you even get this fucking job,
you stupid girl?
[Anna] She was with the group!
- Hela!
- [Anna] Hela!
Hela!
I don't know how this happened.
I mean, I didn't do it on purpose!
I wanted to work in a school,
not in a nut house.
- What's going on?
- I can't breathe. I can't
Relax, you have to calm down.
It's a panic attack.
I'll call help.
- Tell me what you like.
- What?
- Things you're into.
- Paintings from the Renaissance.
- Yeah.
- Sienese.
Now your favorite painters.
Please check in on Michał.
We'll hit the trail.
[Kama] What happened?
- [Tatiana] Hela Lejman's gone missing.
- Hela Lejman's gone missing!
- Hela Lejman's gone missing!
- Oh shit! Fuck!
Hela Lejman's gone missing!
Hela Lejman's gone missing!
Hela Lejman's gone missing!
[mysterious music playing]
[Tatiana] Give me your hand. Thanks.
- Jesus.
- Careful.
Hela!
Hela, say something!
- Hela!
- Hela!
[Tatiana] We need to split up.
You check the trail. I'll go to the top.
- Tom?
- Mm-hmm?
[sighs] I think I know where to find her.
[music fades]
[both sigh]
Oh fuck.
[hay rustling]
Hela!
[pensive music playing]
- Hela!
- Hey, slow down, or you'll suffocate.
Leave me be!
- [grunts]
- [Antoś's mom] Jerzy!
Mr. Lejman!
[Tatiana] Jerzy!
- I have to find my daughter!
- [Robert] Jerzy!
Huh? Huh?
[panting]
[Jerzy sobbing]
- [Hela moans]
- Are you okay?
We saw a big deer!
Yeah?
[sobs] You saw one. You saw one.
- Well, her hair is like this.
- Mm-hmm?
And she's got bangs. Her name is Hela.
And she was wearing a big orange cape.
- And on the trail to the Dziewica summit.
- Isn't that them?
[Antoś's mom] It's like a total miracle
that we were able to find her!
- Yes, it is. Thank you! That's them.
- Goodbye. Take it easy.
[Ula] Our little lost girl is back!
Tola, look. Helutka is back!
- [rescuer 1] Hello. Everything all right?
- Yes. Everything's okay.
Go on ahead.
[Ula] Yes! Look, everyone!
[mom 1] He's back!
[Jerzy] We're here! We're here!
Thanks a lot.
[indistinct chattering]
[children chanting]
Hela! Hela! Hela! Hela! Hela!
- Everything okay?
- [Michał] Yes.
- You're not too hot?
- A little.
Sorry for leaving you for so long.
- Chill already, Mom.
- [chuckles]
Will you stay this way?
How?
I've always been afraid
you'll never be happy because I was born.

- [man 1] They're here.
- [woman 1] Karolinka!
- [woman 4] Haneczka!
- [woman 1] Welcome!
- [man 1] Hi!
- [woman 4] Hi!
[man 1] Daddy's here!
[indistinct chattering]
- [Robert] Kama. Jasiek.
- [taps bus]
Kama. Time to go.
We're here.
[headmaster] Hello.
- [woman 3] Ola, come here.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Dad!
- I'm here! I'm here!
[Ula] Slowly.
- Hop! That was great!
- [Tola] I see Dad!
Thanks, loves! We'll see you. Goodbye!
Okay! Where's Dad?
- I've got you.
- It's okay. I'm good.
- [Marcin] Jesus. Got it? Take my hand.
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
- [Robert] Slowly.
- [Kama] I'm okay.
I heard you were challenged quite a bit.
Pardon.
Headmaster, you you have no idea
how humiliated I was today.
I know why
you must've lost the last teacher.
Miss Ania
Some of the kids here
are not fit to be in school.
And especially Helena Lejman.
I want her gone, or I'm going. You get me?
And I promise you,
you're not gonna find anyone to work here
for such little money after I
I say how wonderful it's not!
[Ula] Where's Dad?
There he is! Hello!
Let's get inside.
- Hey, give me that.
- Oh. Wait a sec.
Tola, hang on. Stay there.
Here you go. Hi, hon.
- Hi, sweetie. Take it.
- [Franek] Hi!
Hi, Franek! Hello, my pretty little fishy!
Okay, get in the car. Let's go.
I saw your story.
I felt so bad I couldn't help you out.
Oh, I handled it somehow.
It's all right.
Hey, but my Instagram is going crazy.
- Get it on.
- But
[Franek] Hey!
Tola doesn't wanna buckle up!
- She keeps unbuckling.
- [Ula] Tola.
Oh, all right. Hey.
- Seat belt.
- [Tola] Fine.
Uh, hang on. Let me finish.
What you're doing is fantastic, and
I want you to start your own foundation.
- Huh?
- Yes.
And I'll help you.
I'll take care of all the formalities.
Uh and you can help thousands
of kids instead of just three.
I can't manage something that big.
I already have an appointment
with a notary.
[emotional music playing]
Are you kidding me?
[Tola] I'm leaving. Bye-bye.
- No, Tola, it's time to go home.
- Yes, we're leaving!
[Marcin] So what have we got?
It's a sprained ankle with a small tear
in the ankle joint ligament.
[Marcin] Fucking hell.
So when will she be able
to return to training?
[Maks] It's impossible to tell now.
In the upcoming days,
you'll have to undergo
intensive rehabilitation.
Plus, massages, laser, cryochamber.
You need to wear an Aircast at home
and take it easy on that leg
between treatments.
[Marcin] I don't even wanna know
what Mykoła's gonna say.
This completely ruins our entire strategy.
Plus, what am I gonna say
to the fucking Caroline CEO?
That leg was supposed to be
the focus of the ad!
Relax, Marcin. It barely even hurts.
I'll do the shoot, get back to training.
[scoffs] "Get back to training." Sure.
It's absolutely vital
that the press doesn't find out.
[breathes deeply]
I really need to get a coffee.
Although I do wish it was vodka.
- Fuck me.
- [footsteps retreating]
- [door opens]
- [Kama sighs]
- Don't say anything, please.
- [Jaś] Mama doesn't have a leg.
Mama doesn't have a leg.
Mama doesn't have a leg.
Mama doesn't have a leg.
Mama doesn't have a leg.
Mama doesn't have a leg.
Mama doesn't have a leg.
Mama doesn't have a leg.
Mama doesn't have a leg.
Mama doesn't have a leg.
- [sighs]
- Mama doesn't have a leg.
Mama doesn't have a leg.
