Plot
Time flies and Jurek Kiler has as a practical matter forgotten that he used to work as a taxi driver and was suspected of a series of murders. He is now a public figure, and together with his girlfriend Ewa runs a foundation which successfully raises money from all over the world. This idyllic and charitable life is thwarted, however when the two real murderers who are serving time, Siara and Lipski, do everything they can to kidnap and assassinate by proxy. They first hire a world-famous Polish assassin code-named Jackal, then a Cuban who is allegedly Kiler's double. Both spectacularly fail in many attempts to carry out their "responsibilities". The situation becomes even more perplexing when Lipski obtains a pass for his daughter Dona's wedding, only to learn that she has fallen for Kiler whom she wants to marry instead...
