Gosia at the hair salon |
Jesus, how much dust here, you have to clean up man. |
||||
00:01:20:01 |
Mateusz at the hair salon |
You have to bring a lot of small children and they wipe everything, with their hands, clothes, everything |
||||
00:01:29:00 |
Gosia |
Listen our stand in front of the court today is somehow spreading, lots of new people are sharing it, liking it. |
||||
00:01:38:05 |
Mateusz |
Listen, do you want to practice this straightener on me? Because I'm very curious what would come out of it. |
||||
|
Gosia |
Have you seen it? |
||||
00:01:49:20 |
Mateusz |
Now will I have to wear a hat? |
||||
|
Gosia |
No |
||||
00:02:02:10 |
Mateusz |
Jesus Mary, what have you done to me? |
||||
00:02:06:19 |
Gosia on the street |
Piotr, wait, we came for some purpose with this banner. |
||||
00:02:12:09 |
Gosia |
It is still half past nine, someone from this disciplinary chamber might still come in, and you guys are taking the conference. |
||||
00:02:19:07 |
Gosia |
We've come to point them out, to scold them a little bit, not to do TV for background on Free Courts. |
||||
00:02:31:06 |
Gosia |
What time is it? |
||||
|
Mateusz on the street |
In twenty-two |
||||
|
Gosia |
Two more minutes and we go |
||||
00:02:39:22 |
Mateusz |
We lost the cops. |
||||
|
Female |
No, they went, they entered the crowd |
||||
|
Mateusz |
Well, exactly |
||||
00:02:45:04 |
Mateusz |
And what will happen to us? Nobody will take care of us now? |
||||
00:02:51:06 |
Female |
Not afraid that court decisions will be made under the influence of politicians. That court decisions will be made out of fear, out of concern. Thank you very much because that's a very big cost that the greatest person pays by standing up against a power that wants to take all the power for itself |
||||
00:03:14:15 |
Female |
On the other hand, it's also a very great joy to have this opportunity, to learn from people like this. To see what each and every one of us can also do in our actions, in our lives, in our free time, to not let our freedom be taken away. |
||||
00:03:40:04 |
Mateusz on the street |
Two of my defenders are there. And I already know why, because my defenders are also defenders of Tulei. |
||||
00:03:49:15 |
Gosia |
Zacharski? |
||||
|
Mateusz |
Yes, Zacharski and Dubois. Come on, we'll go to the square. Okay. |

Mateusz arrives in court |
Good morning. Should you shake hands at all? We kiss without shaking hands. |
||||
00:05:12:18 |
Mateusz at the restaurant |
I ordered a native Polish dish. |
||||
|
Female |
What? |
||||
|
Mateusz |
Kebab |
||||
00:05:20:07 |
|
All nationalists after the march go to the kebab. |
||||
00:05:27:20 |
Female |
Listen, I'm going to say something, because I have to say. We cannot criticize anyone if we do not restrain our own language. And there is a lot of this language and I do not like the attack on religious people very much. |
||||
00:05:44:22 |
Mateusz |
For example, I don't like how everyone talks about Kaczyński "dwarf" |
||||
|
Female 1 |
He is handsome. |
||||
|
Female 2 |
What should I call him? |
||||
|
Mateusz |
Kaczynski. Jaroslaw Kaczynski |
||||
|
Female 1 |
President |
||||
00:06:01:00 |
Mateusz |
There are many ways. Listen, the problem is not his height. The problem is what it does. He is a criminal. |
||||
|
Female 1 |
His brain is a problem |
||||
00:06:09:05 |
Male |
Is Kaczelnik ok? |
||||
|
Female 1 |
Nope. You are insulting Pilsudski. |
||||
|
Male |
Kaczelnik? |
||||
|
Female 1 |
Ah, Kaczelnik |
||||
00:06:18:15 |
Mateusz |
In my opinion, there is no need to look for offensive words, all these words are offensive in fact. So how do we use offensive terms for Kaczynski - for what? Suffice it to say that he is a criminal and that he breaks the law, right? |
||||
00:06:29:18 |
Female |
What is the "Monkey Brain"? |
||||
|
Mateusz |
I would not try |
||||
|
Female 1 |
No, that's what I should be at all. I'm about to leave. |
||||
|
Female |
"Wściekły pies", "Tęczowe Szoty", "Kamikaze" |
||||
|
Mateusz |
These are any drinks like that? |
||||
|
Female |
Exactly |
||||
00:06:58:23 |
Female |
Do you have a manifesto for Sunday? |
||||
00:07:23:05 |
Mateusz in office |
Ladies and Gentlemen. There are two ways to build. In opposition and in support. |
||||
|
|
This is also the case with social or professional engagement. We can fight the competition, the marketplace, our own weaknesses, and even the harsh shadow of the fog. |
||||
00:07:49:22 |
|
But if we are not well motivated, if we are not partners in the project, if we do not talk to and listen to each other, then what had been a joy and satisfaction suddenly becomes a nuisance. |
||||
00:08:06:15 |
|
Nope. Exactly. I fucked up. |
||||
00:08:14:19 |
Gosia at home, doing Mateusz’s hair |
What’s on your head? Didn't you even comb it yourself? Straighten up again. |
||||
|
Mateusz |
I'm going to get it straight if I straighten up again. |
||||
|
Gosia |
You will get a hernia. Beard. Well, take this head. |
||||
00:08:30:17 |
Gosia at home |
If anything,
you also don't say you're going to do something, what you're going to do,
because you're going to have a bunch of more careerists again right away. You
will see. Politicians who will want to realize themselves, and everyone sees
that now is a good field only no one has an idea and
everyone is waiting until there is one who will pull them understand? And
then they'll suddenly advise you and I'll have to tilt at windmills, to take
care of you. |
||||
00:09:04:08 |
|
I was nervous. I think I'll lock you at home and tie you to the radiator. |
||||
00:09:25:12 |
Zacharski at the office |
I like this one the most: " Free courts, free people" |
||||
00:09:38:04 |
Dubois at the office |
Ladies and gentlemen, you are cordially invited. The date of the last hearing is approaching, on the sixth of March we have been invited to a hearing where there will be closing arguments, so the time is coming that after a few years we will, first of all, be able to come to the truth, secondly, we will be able to comprehensively present all the arguments in this case for the first time. |
||||
00:10:07:20 |
Mateusz on the street |
Let’s get these in order. Okay…no this is not correct. |
||||
00:10:20:02 |
|
Yes… Con-sti-tu-tion. This is good. |
||||
00:10:40:07 |
Policeman |
The most important for us today. Masks. Masks and social distancing. This is a priority for us today. |
||||
|
Mateusz |
For us, this has long been a priority, so that.. |
||||
00:10:53:02 |
Policeman |
If there's any gentleman whom you don't want here, then just tell us.Of course, the place where you are must be left as you found it. And we don't propagate any fascist content. |
||||
|
Mateusz |
Or communist |
||||
00:11:13:05 |
Gosia on the street |
Sir, this is a provocation. Someone will then take a picture of the gathering and say that the participants of the assembly were without masks and without distance. They do not keep a distance from our people, we ask you to react. |
||||
00:11:26:17 |
Mateusz |
I'm sorry, you're disrupting because you're not following sanitary instructions. You're causing. No it's not just my opinion because you're not following sanitation recommendations. That's not my opinion, that's the truth, I'm very much asking you to take these gentlemen. |
||||
00:11:45:23 |
Voice from the loudspeaker, reading preambule of Polish constitution |
All citizens of Poland. The ones who believe in God, who is the source of truth, justice, good and beauty, |
||||
00:12:01:21 |
|
And the ones who don’t share this belief, and finding these universal values in other sources, equal in rights and obligations towards the common good, Poland. Grateful to our ancestors for their work, for the struggle for independence paid for with huge sacrifices, for the culture rooted in the Christian heritage of the nation and universal human values. |
||||
00:12:35:17 |
|
Referring to the best traditions of the First and Second Polish Republic, obliged to pass on to future generations everything that is valuable from over a thousand years of heritage, |
||||
00:12:53:17 |
|
United by the bonds of community with our compatriots scattered throughout .. |
||||
00:13:00:16 |
Voice from speaker |
(Female voice in Chinese language) |

00:13:26:06 |
Mateusz singing Polish National Anthem |
[Polish national anthem] |
||||
00:13:38:02 |
Mateusz |
Anthem done. |
||||
00:13:41:04 |
Mateusz |
This is a Chinese device and it as it changes the mode, it informs you that it has changed the mode. |
||||
|
Female |
This was incredible |
||||
|
Mateusz |
But not very relevant. |
||||
00:14:12:04 |
Mateusz in office |
I am convinced that together we can build a better world. A world of values and ideas. A better future. |
||||
00:14:22:08 |
|
Sorry, I have to drink some water, because I'm drying up. |

Mateusz in court room |
Your Honour, if I may I would like to say that I had a phone call from Mr. Piotr that he and his lawyer fell into traffic jams in Warsaw and that about ten minutes will be late. And from the patron Szczepaniak I also had a phone call that they are in trouble on the motorway. |
||||
00:15:18:02 |
Female |
We’ve got it. |
||||
00:15:22:07 |
Mateusz with lawyers in court corridor |
What’s it made of? |
||||
|
Zacharski |
Good year. Current. |
||||
|
Mateusz |
The vapours can make you feel… |
||||
|
Zacharski |
This is such Beaujolais nouveau. We'll see. Oh! |
||||
00:15:47:08 |
Szczepaniak speaking during the court hearing |
I am always far from giving some dramatic speeches in my speeches, but here it really is. This process, whether we like it or not, is a political process, perhaps the first political process since 1989. |
||||
00:16:09:00 |
|
It is no coincidence that the one who started the process of fighting for democracy in Poland in an open way, that this man today sits on the bench. |
||||
00:16:23:07 |
|
I realize, High Court, that Themis is blind. But blindness is one thing, and blindness is another. Themis is not completely blind. Themis should have regard for the surrounding reality, because this verdict, in this case will also build reality. |
||||
00:16:48:03 |
|
In a sense, it will be a message to a large number of Poles. Because here in the dock, the High Court, sits democracy, which should not appear here. |
||||
00:17:15:15 |
Voice from the loudspeaker, reading preambule of Polish constitution |
We, the nation of Polish, all citizens of the Republic of Poland, both believers in God who is the source of truth, justice, goodness and beauty |
||||
|
|
As well as not sharing this faith, and these universal values deriving from other sources, equal in rights and duties towards the common good, Polish. Grateful to our ancestors for their work, for the struggle for independence paid for by huge sacrifices, for the culture rooted.. |

Gosia on the street |
Play! Come on, play! |
||||
00:17:45:05 |
Mateusz |
Wait. Listen, something is wrong. Oh, Jesus Mary. The batteries sit down. |
||||
00:17:54:05 |
Gosia |
Let's read. Take out the Constitution. Let's read the Constitution. |
||||

Mateusz |
But without a microphone, how? |
||||
|
Gosia |
Without microphone. |

Where do I have..? About the Court, it was here. Well here, well, |

Okay, you have to sing the anthem I guess and wrap it up? |
||||
00:19:09:08 |
Mateusz, at home, singing |
Lord, protect me from hatred. Save me from contempt Lord. After all, you are an immeasurable good that I will not express in words. |
||||
00:19:31:00 |
Mateusz |
Listen, I will probably not take sandals to Jasiek |
||||
00:19:33:22 |
Gosia |
I thought you wanted to wear sandals to court. |
||||
00:19:38:09 |
|
Take these shoes along the insert, not across, because the zipper is about to break. |
||||
00:19:48:10 |
|
Oh, there is Jasiek. [phone ringtone ] Hi, did you take a blessing from Christ from Świebodzin? |
||||
00:20:02:24 |
|
You haven’t? Haven’t you put it in a jar and brought it here? You would let it out at the court room. |
||||
00:20:13:02 |
Mateusz |
I was constituted. |
||||
|
Gosia |
Let’s go. |
||||
00:20:28:08 |
Mateusz, at the train station |
I would like to share with you my experiences, encourage you to talk, to listen to each other, so that in conversation, in discussion, in arguing we find better ways to build of our future. |
||||
00:20:47:06 |
|
To change the world, to improve it, to gain motivation and commitment. |
||||
00:20:54:24 |
|
Nope. It makes no sense. One gets stuck if one does not think it over carefully. |
||||
00:21:13:24 |
Female |
There is a rainbow on the steps of the courthouse. |
||||
00:21:19:03 |

Please, then maybe now we will stand like that |

Judge in court room |
In connection with Article 12 (1) of the Criminal Code, on the basis of Article 271(3) of the Criminal Code, I sentence him to one year of deprivation of liberty. |
||||
00:21:49:21 |
|
Pursuant to Article 69(1) and (2) of the Criminal Code, in conjunction with Article 70(1) of the Criminal Code, the execution of the sentence of imprisonment imposed on Mateusz Kijowski in the second point, conditionally suspend for a period of two years of probation. |

||||
00:22:02:23 |
Gosia, coming out from the court |
Come, Mateusz. Remember, don't say |
||||
|
Mateusz |
Yes, yes. First you can say |
||||
00:22:12:24 |
TV journalist |
What do you do now? |
||||
|
Mateusz |
I mean, I work in a barbershop now as a hairdresser's assistant and I cut and wash hair. |
||||
|
Female |
I am an example |
||||
|
TV journalist |
You, yes? |
||||
00:22:24:11 |
TV journalist |
How long for? |
||||
|
Mateusz |
Well, maybe half a year or so, from the beginning. I basically started learning at the end of last year. |
||||
|
TV journalist |
And this is some kind of passion? |
||||
|
Mateusz |
No, this was the only job I could find. After I was accused of dishonesty, I couldn’t find of job for three years. The owner of the hairdressing shop extended a helping hand. |
||||
|
TV journalist |
In Warsaw? Where in Warsaw? |
||||
|
Mateusz |
In Warsaw, Żelazna 64 |
||||
|
Mateusz |
It's called Wola Wlosow. |
||||
00:22:59:16 |
TV journalist |
And it was difficult to switch? |
||||
|
Mateusz |
Nope. I mean, I've had some experience in this area before. |
||||
|
TV journalist |
And you cut your hair yourself? |
||||
|
Mateusz |
No, that’s the boss |
||||
|
TV journalist |
Thanks a lot, good luck. |
||||
00:23:19:12 |
Mateusz, with client at the hair salon |
In my family, There's a joke that's been going around in my family for a long time about a hairdressing apprentice, which has recently come back to me with a redoubled force because of my situation. |
||||
00:23:28:09 |
|
The apprentice cuts the client’s hair and cuts him by mistake, the master smacks his hands. Then again, he cuts the client again. The master smacks him even more. |
||||
00:23:48:00 |
|
Then, while the master is busy, the apprentice cuts a bit of the client’s ear off. The client quickly hides the ear under the chair and says, ‘put it away, put it away, or he will kill us both!’ |
||||
00:24:08:04 |
|
You will be pleased |
||||
00:24:24:08 |
Mateusz |
Gosia, would you like to take a look and criticize something? |
||||
|
Gosia |
Yes |
||||
|
Mateusz |
I know you’ve been dreaming about this for a long time |
||||
00:24:41:13 |
Gosia |
No no, it’s great. She will wear it like this. Where do you usually part your hair, Kasia? |
||||
|
client Kasia |
I don't have one right now. |
||||
|
Mateusz |
She left in the back |
||||
|
Kasia |
Well, I left it at home today |
||||
00:24:48:12 |
Gosia |
She will have gradation here when it lifts up. |
||||
|
Mateusz |
Shall I make any changes? |
||||
|
Gosia |
No |
||||
00:24:58:13 |
Kasia |
Hey, Queen
Margot |
||||
