And he knows he'll do anything to find her again. He follows her up the coast of California and a polar bear drives the taxi.

Pilecki received brutal treatment until he escaped in April 1943; soon after, he wrote a brief report....

In September 2002, Ken left his home and drove to the Grand Canyon to kill himself. The only life he'd ever known was little more than a shambles.
