What Does Jozie Find Out?
Wladyslaw devises a great game to unite his family and safeguard his fortune. It was well-planned, with various levels to explore. When the family finally manages to reach the second level, Jozie receives an unusual call on another phone. She discovers that the cops who have arrived at the estate to investigate the murder are not genuine, and that the actual cops are trapped due to a heavy snowstorm. She cautiously informs her aunt Natalia, who urges her to keep the information to herself. Natalie also tells Jozie that she was dubious of the men from the start because she believed the cops didn’t use Sig Sauers.
What Did Henryk Discover?
The fake police come across Jozie and her aunt, who know their real identities. They hold them up and interrogate them. They also learned of Jozie’s second phone that she was trying to hide. However, Henryk luckily escapes their company and sets out to uncover secrets. While running away from the so-called police, Henryk discovers a hidden vault underground. He tries to research more about Mr. Wladyslaw and his fortune, when he comes across some old newspapers and learns that the game ‘The Wheel of The Truth’ was taking off air as one of the participants tried to commit suicide. He is then discovered by one of the men from the fake police and handed over to his family.
Who Was Behind Wladyslaw’s Death?
The family learns that Wladyslaw tried to trick their minds as his only mission was to bring their family together. While rejoicing together, Gustaw proposes to Natalie while Dawid and Zofia patch up their broken marriage and drop the idea of going for a divorce. However, their happiness doesn’t last long when they are interrupted by a police officer. Natalie is taken into custody, and her lover, Gustaw, confesses that he killed Mr. Wladyslaw. The reason behind his action was that his grandmother committed suicide after losing the game years ago due to depression after getting a misleading hint from the game show host, Wladyslaw. As a result, Gustaw is sent to an orphanage and decides to avenge the death of his grandmother ever since.
Does Anyone Receive The Patent?
In the last level of the game, which was a maze, the Fortuna family finds the patent box.
They discover that the box is empty. They get a final recording from Wlad who informs them that the patents are somewhere safe and the inheritance was all a joke. The family is upset at first, but soon brushes it off since they realize the game has brought them closer together. Natalie and Gustaw marry in prison, while the rest of the family resume their usual lives. Finally, Henryk is seen playing with the Rubik’s cube that Wlad handed him at the beginning. When he opens it to solve it, he discovers a USB inside, which could contain a patent worth millions.
