Go Ahead, Brother (2024) s01e02 Episode Script

1
[man on radio] There's a lake trout
squirming on the end of your rod.
What a beauty. First things first.
Let's investigate why lake trout have
received the nickname "ghost fish."
And, most importantly, how to catch
[phone ringing]
FATHER CALLING
- [call connects]
- [Damian] Hello?
[ominous music playing]
[brakes screech]
[horns blare]
[gentle, ethereal music playing]
GO AHEAD, BROTHER
[gentle music playing]
[groans]
[grunts]
- 'Sup, Gwiazda?
- Hey, man.
Who's that?
None of your business, Bobek.
[excited chatter inside]
[Gwiazda grunts]
[groans softly]
[Gwiazda grunts]
[Grzesiek] I'm telling you, it was Tomczyk
retaliating for the assault
on that driver.
[Damian] It was just one guy?
Are you sure?
He came up behind me
like the fuckin' ninja.
I didn't stand a chance.
Why don't you shut the fuck up?
[Grzesiek] Dad, I'm telling you,
he must have been a pro.
Otherwise, I would've taken care of him.
You know me.
- [strains]
- [Grzesiek groans]
- Fuck!
- Not another word.
Come on, Dad.
Not another word.
[Sylwek] You got any clothes?
Whoa, Sylwek. You were very sweet,
but I wanna fall in love first.
[slaps]
Here.
[Sylwek] You're a fuckin' piece of work.
You're fuckin' joking around?
Right now? After what happened?
- What is going on with you, man?
- What, don't you know me?
I always joke around after a job
to let off steam.
What job? The fuck did you drag me into?
I told you I was gonna steal from a thief.
Listen up. Get it through your head
that I killed a man to protect you.
I didn't ask you to, man.
[breathing shakily]
I stole your firearm.
You weren't there.
You didn't know anything. It was all me.
Thanks, Oskar.
[sarcastically] You're Seriously,
thanks for lookin' out for me.
Thank you so much.
Dude, as a family member,
you're a real treasure.
Every family should have
an Oskar Gwiazda.
Also, the world clearly needs more of you.
They should start cloning you.
You should be sold in
every every supermarket, on every shelf!
Oskar Gwiazda!
[Gwiazda] Half is for you.
It's not a reward for complicity.
I was gonna share it
with you guys either way.
- You need this money.
- Thanks, we're managing.
You're managing shit!
You live in a fucking shed.
Marta's scared about what will happen
when the baby is born.
She's just not telling you.
I promised to pay off Dad's debts.
This is almost half of what he owed you.
For fuck's sake, Sylwek!
We don't deserve to live like this.
[sighs]
Tell me, Oskar, is this a phone from work?
I had to make sure, right?
That the money from the mall
ends up in that house.
You broke in?
If I broke in, I "borrowed"
some GPS trackers from storage.
[opens beer can]
Where are those trackers?
For now, uh
under the cars of those criminals.
[Sylwek] You broke into the unit,
stole equipment that you later used
in a robbery,
and then you fucking abandoned it
at the scene of the crime,
leaving behind incriminating evidence!
I'll get them back.
[Sylwek] No, dude. This is the end.
You fucked us.
We'll both go to prison for this.
[sighs]
[birds singing]
[nearby clattering]
[Marta grunts]
Where were you?
[Sylwek] Hmm?
Uh
- I was with Oskar.
- [Marta] Hmm Really?
Yeah.
[Marta chuckles]
Jeez, what do you have on?
We got into a scuffle
with some jackasses downtown.
I ruined my clothes,
and so Oskar lent me some.
I guess my little brother started it.
Yeah, he kinda did,
but in his defense, uh
Those guys reacted too aggressively, so
- Lie down.
- Mm.
You two always have
to get up to something. [chuckles]
Mm.
Mm. Those skinny jeans
aren't doing you any favors.
[both laugh]
[Marta] Mm.
[tense music rises]
[sighs]
[ominous music swells]
[gasps]
[cell phone alarm ringing]
[groans]
[exhales]
[sighs]
[pensive music playing]
[grunts]
[groans]
[engine starts]
See? They haven't reported it.
As if nothing happened.
They're improving security.
If they'd asked for my help,
nobody would've robbed them.
Listen, since it all blew over,
maybe you'll rethink your half
Gwiazda, get those trackers back, okay?
Yes, sir.
[indistinct chatter]
[Yeva] Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Hang on. No, no, no, no, no.
- Pass me that bag over here?
- [Gwiazda] Hey.
How about dinner tonight?
Or a beer.
Or maybe dinner and a beer.
- Um I kind of
- Hey, buddy, look.
The girl's working,
and you're interrupting.
Yeva, move it.
- Yes. I apologize, Mr. Grzegorz.
- So I'll make a reservation for 7:00 p.m.?
- Yeah, okay. Just go already.
- Sounds great.
I'm working.
You like this job, asshole?
- [sighs] I'm sorry. I am.
- One phone call, and you're outta here.
Please don't call anyone, okay?
I'll help the girls unload
the merchandise.
Don't make that phone call.
I care about this job.
- [phone ringing]
- Just be quick about it. Hello?
- What chair?
- Uh
What hairdresser?
Hang on, Patrycja. Calm the fuck down.
[Gwiazda] Here.
- [Grzesiek] Fucking good-for-nothing!
- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- Hmm?
No, no, I wasn't talkin' to you.
No, I wasn't talking to you.
Not everything is about you, Patrycja.
ONLY EXECUTION CAN FIX ME
[somber music playing]
[whistles]
- [electricity crackles]
- [grunts]
[buzzer rings]
You know who I am?
- [sighs heavily]
- Do you know what that means?
[sobbing]
[Gwiazda chuckles]
[laughs emotionally]
It seems that Dad was unable
to remember where he kept his chips
or how much he won or lost.
- It's a good thing I found them at all.
- Mm-hm.
Though it's not a lot of money,
it'll save our asses.
What about you?
I already took half. I gotta pay off
the debt collectors they keep calling me.
Right, what about Tomczyk?
- I'll toss him something too.
- Mm-hmm.
Oskar, just so we're clear, I still think
you accepting that inheritance
is completely moronic,
but I want you to know that
I'm really proud of you.
For handling it. Give me a hug.
[groans] Ow.
- Just don't tell Sylwek right away, okay?
- Mm-hmm.
- All right.
- It'll come as a nice surprise to him.
Okay.
It looks like you committed robbery
at a bank!
[laughs]
Am I supposed to take this back to work?
[laughing] You're impossible!
[Gwiazda sighs happily]
[insistent knocking]
- Hello.
- Five hundred.
[scoffs]
Can I at least say hi to Roksi?
All right, tell me
everything again, slowly.
You took her to your hairdresser.
She was sitting in the waiting room
- Doing her homework.
- [Grzesiek] What happened?
She scribbled on a leather chair
with her pen.
Do I have to talk
to the hairdresser, then?
[Patrycja laughs]
What are you laughing at?
- I'll handle it better than you.
- Don't make a fucking fool of yourself.
- [violin playing simple tune]
- [scoffs]
Be my guest.
Don't stop on my account.
I want to hear you play.
Hi.
Hi. [kisses]
- What are you practicing now?
- The same.
And how's it going?
[chuckles]
Play something for me, please.
Please?
Please, please, please!
I love you, Roksana.
[energetic dance music playing]
[Basia scoffs]
[Basia] Are you done?
Uh, in a minute.
[quietly] In a minute.
I've got a request for you,
ma'am, if you don't mind.
Is it okay if I change here
to go out later?
You've got a date?
- Um yes.
- Is he cute?
Of course, darling. Hop in.
- Thank you, Barbara.
- Sure.
- Thank you.
- Of course, absolutely.
Yeah.
[sighs]
[exhales]
Ah, jeez.
[woman 1] They were all freaked out.
You know? Like, "Whoa!"
[woman 2] Yeah. They were mortified,
but I was merely blushing, I swear.
The boss introduced
a new dress code for bouncers?
[woman 1] He was saving up for you.
He's finally got enough.
- Asia.
- [Asia] Yeah?
When you retire,
which I'm assuming will be soon,
consider a career in stand-up.
- You'll be my first fan, huh, Oskar?
- [woman 2] First date?
Yeah. It's not too formal?
[energetic pop music playing]
She pretty?
Very much so.
That's better.
[knocking on door]
- May I?
- Uh, yes, yes.
[clears throat]
Listen, I've got some dresses
that no longer fit me.
Maybe try some on?
I'm certain one will be a good fit here.
No, no, Barbara. Thanks, but
Ma'am, forgive me, but these
are designer clothes. I can't accept.
Well, yeah, these dresses
cost 5,000 zlotys each.
- I'm giving them to you.
- It's too much.
- I can't wear them.
- Oh, jeez. You have to.
Come on, honestly.
That dress is too boring.
- [laughs] What? Really?
- Try this one on first. It's really nice.
- Thanks a lot.
- Sure.
- Thank you so much.
- You're welcome. You'll look lovely. Yes.
Uh, please,
would you mind closing the door?
[Basia] Yes.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Awesome.
Oh, I'm sorry. Please.
[groans]
[choking]
- [moaning weakly]
- One more time.
So, after that incident with the driver,
you got the go-ahead from the boss
to make a move on my old man, huh?
- You wanted to get revenge, right?
- [groggily] I don't know, man.
I swear, I ain't got a clue about
what's goin' on between you and Tomczyk.
You hired a professional.
Who did you hire?
I ain't done nothin', man.
I ain't done nothing, okay?
You're all just fuckin' paranoid.
[groans]
[sobs]
I heard you've been recruiting
tough ex-soldiers for your operations.
You used one of them last night.
Just give me a fuckin' name.
That's all I'm asking for.
I didn't hire any fucking ex-soldiers
No, no, no.
- [electricity crackles]
- [groans]
- Why are you such in a hurry, Golas?
- Let it go.
[pensive music playing]
- Move aside.
- What?
You in a hurry to get to school?
Fuck off. I'm going to the gym.
You should, too.
- Take care.
- See ya, bye. You're in high school now?
- [Marecki] Sylwek! Sylwek!
- Wait a sec.
You're in trouble!
[Sylwek] What's up?
During the operation
at the hotel the other night,
equipment from our storeroom vanished.
Know anything about that?
Mm, no.
Have you seen your brother-in-law lately?
Talked to him?
[engines start]
ŁÓDŹ PROVINCIAL POLICE HEADQUARTERS
He cleaned your clock,
so you wanna get even, that it?
Do ya have five minutes?
Come on, I'll show you something.
[Sylwek sighs]
[Marecki] Come on, come on.
- What's this about?
- Sit, sit.
- [Sylwek] I'd rather stand.
- Sit down. Get used to it.
In a couple years,
you'll be farting into this chair.
[music fades]
[Marecki sighs]
[ominous music playing]
[Marecki] Remind you of anyone?
Hmm? Look at that.
Why did he do it?
Is it a stunt, or is he trying
to prove something to me?
Gwiazda, right?
I know.
Gwiazda.
- [gentle music playing]
- [cell phone ringing]
Can't really talk. What's up?
Think it takes a genius to figure out
who's in the footage of the storeroom?
To figure it out, probably not.
To prove it? Yeah.
You're so clever.
Always outsmarting everyone, huh?
Bro, relax. Everything's under control.
What control are you talking about, man?
What control?
FYI, Marecki said
he'd forget the whole thing
if all the equipment gets returned.
But wouldn't that be tantamount
to an admission of guilt?
So, you don't have the trackers?
Everything's under control.
I got one from under the van.
The other is under the Mustang.
I'm working on it.
We'll talk later, for sure. I gotta go.
- Hello? Oskar?
- [line beeps]
Hello?
[sighs, under breath] Damn it.
[engine starts]
[Sylwek sighs]
[engine starts]
[Gwiazda] You look stunning.
- Something wrong?
- [Yeva, flatly] Everything's fine.
[trashcan lid clatters]
Because if something, you know,
happened, we can postpone.
[Yeva] No, I'm hungry.
Uh, my bike?
[engine turns off]
[tense music playing]
[engine starts]
[Gwiazda] Yeva,
is everything really all right?
Don't worry about it.
Everything's fine.
[clears throat] So, your family.
Yeah, uh, tell me more about them.
Sure. As I was saying,
I've got an older sister, Marta.
[chuckles]
She actually married
my best friend, Sylwek.
That's not good, I bet.
You can lose a sister
but also your friend.
We were both serving in the military,
and then Sylwek and I
began working together.
Uh, we even lived together,
meaning me, Marta, Sylwek, and my father.
Mm I love Sylwek like a brother,
but man, he just stomps like an elephant.
It's like, it's I can't describe it.
I'll show you. He just walks like this.
[stomping loudly]
And you all live in an apartment together?
No, a house.
Marta and Sylwek moved out a year ago.
Uh, and my father
[kids clamoring]
I just recently lost my father.
[noisemaker blares]
- [sounds distort]
- [children's voices echoing]
[muffled] So, now you have
the entire house to yourself, right?
Uh [clears throat]
[hesitates] Um Maybe you could, um,
say something about yourself, 'cause
Actually, I still have some more questions
for you to answer.
- It almost feels like an interrogation.
- [Yeva] This is an interrogation.
[in Polish] Happy birthday to you ♪
[in English] What did you take
from under Mr. Grzegorz's car?
[chuckles] Nothing. You're mistaken.
[Yeva] I saw.
Who are you, Oskar?
Are you a thief?
Do you want to hurt someone?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, yeah, I called him.
I talked to him again. Listen
This is how it is.
I mean, what more can I say?

Everything is breaking apart,

[taking deep breaths together]
[Gwiazda's breathing slows]
[blows]
You want to know about me?
Fine. I'll tell you.
I haven't felt anything in a long time
other than anger and hatred.
I don't have anyone to love or cherish.
No family.
No home.
Why have a home?
When you can risk losing it all so easily,
why take root?
[door rattles]
[irritated] It's occupied!
[exhales deeply]
I used to be a cop.
My friend died because of me.
And my father committed suicide,
also because of me.
So, I decided to take on
his debts because
That's honorable.
Stupid, actually.
Stupid.
I have nothing.
I'm nothing.
I'm just damaged.
[crying softly]
And I can't help but feel fuckin' outraged
because this is so fucking unfair!
You have panic attacks
because of this, all right?
[Gwiazda breathing shakily]
You're not damaged, Oskar.
You're a good man.
But to get help,
you need to see a doctor. A psychiatrist.
- [knocking on door]
- It's occupied!
[waiter] We kindly request
that you leave the bathroom, please?
[both chuckle]
Okay.
Come on.
Come here.
Tell me more about yourself. Come on.
Come on.
I'm really fond of dogs.
Fresh croissants.
And how warm the Black Sea is.
What I don't love at all
how airplanes sound,
dishonesty, and war movies.
I really do enjoy watching
kung-fu movies, though.

She recommended you to me.

[Bogdan, in English]
I heard you've been very busy.
[Damian] Family tragedy.
[Bogdan] Hmm. My condolences.
I just had a conversation with Tomczyk.
Something disturbing also happened
in his family.
Yeah, tragedies do happen.
Indubitably.
Remember that you don't work
for your father. You work for me.
Your father and Tomczyk also work for me.
I don't appreciate you playing games
with Tomczyk behind my back.
Let him know
that I'll do everything in my power.
[pensive music playing]
[Damian] Hello?
Hello?
[line beeps]
[horn beeps]
[Damian] Hey!
You're going somewhere?
Just for the night.
Jolka's at home alone,
and she's going fucking bonkers.
The one you bought an apartment for?
I don't talk shop with her,
if that's what you mean.
I just sponsor her.
Unless I could be of use to you here.
No, go, Grzesiu, have fun.
I definitely will.
[chuckles]

[tracker app beeping]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Grzesiek] Sweetie!
Get it under the umbrella!
- It won't shit in the rain.
- [dog whining]
Under the umbrella.
Why don't you walk him yourself
if you're so smart?
- [Gwiazda chuckles]
- [Grzesiek groans]
- Easy, easy. Easy
- [Jolka whines] Okay.

[door squeaks closed]
- [gasps]

[electricity crackles]
[captive man] Yeah,
the boy deserved to be punished.
He did.
But you didn't have to torture him.
He stole some Chinese rags
from a semitruck.
I was angry. I was.
But hand to heart,
I didn't send anyone after you.
They've got him.
They'll be here in 20 minutes.
Tomczyk Tomczyk probably knows
by now who took me out.
And if Tomczyk knows, so does Bogdan.
What's the point of making such a fuss?
We're tight-knit, like a big family.
And in a family,
you don't fucking torture people.
- Stop it, I'm getting emotional.
- [captive man] Please.
Let me get out of here.
- You're about to have company.
- [captive man] Huh?
We'll be joined
by one of the men you hired.
[captive man groaning]
I swear I didn't hire anyone.
We'll see.

I understand.
See you in a bit.
What? What?
What? That was Mr. Bogdan, right?
[hesitating] Did he point out
what a fucking mistake you've made?
[grunts]
Before I fucking let you outta here,
you're gonna tell me who you hired.
You can do it now,
while you're still sitting in this chair,
or before your body's dragged out.
But you're gonna fuckin' tell me.
You are all a family
of fucking genetic fuck-ups.
I didn't hire anyone.
But hats off to the person
who screwed with you.
He should receive a fucking award.
