15. Our Dearest
Thanks to Mr. Stanisław’s connection with Michalik, Kasia and Jacek are granted an apartment—rumored to be haunted. While moving in, they accidentally free the thief who had been trapped inside. However, they must pay nearly 1.5 million złoty, and they’re completely broke. At the taxi company, they receive a new car, while the old one goes up for auction. A quarter of the final bid is awarded to the drivers who used it. Since Krashan had hidden $100,000 in the seat, rival gangs—Klusek-Gonschorek and Kuśmider—enter the bidding war. Instead of the expected 700,000, the car sells for 10 million. That means Kasia and Jacek receive 2.5 million—solving all their financial problems. But that’s not the end: Kasia transferred the old seats into the new taxi, so she still has $100,000 stashed right behind her.
