[electronic whirring.]
[electronic firing continues.]
[electronic pulsing.]
[drone beeping.]
[soft clatter echoes.]
[electronic buzzing.]
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Bye.
Bye.
What are you looking at? Where do you think you will store all this? - In my room? - And where is "your" room? What's your problem? That's all I've got.
- A couple of years' worth of my life.
- Sounds ominous.
You just told me that you're glad I'm here.
That was before your jackets invaded my living room! - Fine! I'll destroy this! - Very well! Put it away! One minute! - [Ola sighs.]
- [phone ringing.]
What's up? Piast found something on the Dead Aim forum.
Is that a game? It's the future of gaming.
The immersion level is incredible! It combines a shooter game with augmented reality.
Virtual elements are added to the surroundings.
What about those of us who have only played Mario? Please, leave your beverages in the basket.
[Piast.]
Uh, I'm streaming two videos from the game now.
The left is gameplay.
The one on the right is a normal video.
What is this laptop doing here? Which one is the game and which one is real? - Well, what do you see? - Same thing on both.
- A guy with a bag over his head? - [Piast.]
And that is real.
Has it been recorded with two different phones? The one on the left during a round of Dead Aim? Capiche! God, has anybody reported it to the police? I am reporting it.
To the UV.
[theme song playing.]
[knocking at door.]
No! - Hi.
Come on in.
- What's up? What's that? I didn't have time to eat.
This is for later.
Give me a break.
Good day.
Now it's all clear.
You really do exist.
Anna Serafin.
- Michal Holender.
- Shall we? Do you really run around with your gun like that? - Better? - Mysterious.
Michal? Let's go.
Dear, could you not interrupt? Adults are speaking.
Nice chatting with you.
[Anna chuckles softly.]
The game gives you the location.
It happened in Lodz.
It's an internet joke.
A prank.
Like us calling the fire department for fun when we were kids You called them for fun? - You didn't? - No.
Look.
There's a bag on his head.
He was strangled to death.
We don't even know if someone reported it.
Even so, it's not the first time someone is making fun of the geeks.
Besides, they prank each other too.
Jokers, I'm telling you.
Someone has just lain there to scare another gamer.
Right, but there are two videos.
They were recorded separately.
One didn't come out right so they made another.
[sighs.]
Tomek said something about lividity marks.
Look at his hand.
Lividity marks.
It's probably just make up.
Shoot me now.
Real post-mortem lividity marks are formed two to four hours after death.
But do you know how long he's been there? How do you know it's a prank? To me it really isn't! Well, they just lie down on the ground at the respawn point.
Where? - The respawn point.
- What's that? Respawn is the place where the players are born.
You know a lot about games.
Probably as much as you about graffiti.
It sounds like obsessive gaming.
Anyway, to me it makes sense.
Someone planned it because they knew the body would be found here.
All right, I have to be at the station in 15 minutes.
Next time, call me.
But I really wanted you to visit.
Just kidding! Can I ask you for one favor though? Just the one.
Check if a dead body has been reported.
Okay? I will.
Not because you're blackmailing me but to make sure I'm right.
I'm not blackmailing but asking you.
Watch Mom when you go out.
- Are those your boxes from England? - Yeah.
Is that where you keep your husband? Just kidding.
The player who uploaded the recording is called MistrzBestiiii.
Four "I" s at the end.
I've searched the web and he doesn't use the name outside of the game.
Strange.
But it happens.
The second recording has been uploaded from an anonymous account.
I pulled out the metadata from the video.
Uh there is info about the recording device.
IMEI and the serial number.
Sony XZ.
Let's try to find your owner.
Telecom bases? Retailers? Warranty services? - Not that simple.
- I know that.
The hustle is real.
[woman.]
Did you finish your history paper? Doing it! Got two pages left.
[Tomek.]
When you find it, send the data of the phone owner to Regina.
Her charm will be enough to pull all the information out of the phone's owner.
What about the victim? Tomek, can you identify who it is? Sure, except the guy's got a bag on his head.
Right.
Maybe we need to check out those warehouses.
There can't be many warehouses like that in Lodz.
Man, what do you know about Lodz? This place is nothing but warehouses and factories.
And what do you know about Radom? The number of people in tracksuits, from space the city looks like the Olympic village.
[chuckling.]
[electronic music plays softly over speakers.]
[Ola vocalizes softly to music.]
[whispers.]
Attention! Ta-da! It's just a flashlight.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
A magic flashlight.
- Grandpa, can you leave for a bit? - What for? I want to do something alone.
I'll call you in a second.
Fair enough.
I'll go check up on our knights.
Ow! Okay, I'm off closing the gates.
[girl.]
Okay, close them.
Abracadabra, hocus-pocus, magic flashlight, call my mom! Mom! Grandpa has built a castle for us.
Are you coming back yet? Darling, two more weeks and I'll be healthy again! - Grandpa! I know it's you! - [phone ringing.]
Wait.
Klara, I'll come back in a minute.
- [Klara.]
Okay, please do! - Mm-hmm.
- Hello? - Hi, Henryk! I'm coming over, there's a new case.
Wait, I can't.
I'm looking after Klara.
Why? What's happening with Emilia? Again? Rehab.
Unfortunately.
Without it, things would turn ugly.
Okay, Henryk.
Hang in there.
Call me if you need anything.
I'll come by and help you.
I can look after Klara or whatever.
[phone ringing.]
- Hello.
- Hi.
[groans.]
- Jesus! What are you doing? - Rolling around.
I see.
That's cool.
- Anyway.
We had an anonymous call.
- Yeah? - A corpse in an abandoned warehouse.
- Yeah? But when the police patrol arrived, there was nothing.
And do you know the address of this warehouse? Will you go there with me? - Of course not! - Stop playing around.
Ola, I'm really busy.
I have priorities.
I'm going to Baluty to question a pawnshop owner.
Just give me that address.
For you the case is over anyway.
I'll think about it.
[soft clatter.]
[computer chimes.]
- He accepted the invitation! - The guy that Piast found? A good profile pic can work miracles.
Hey! It's me wearing a bikini! It's my picture! Ask him.
Go on! Hi there! I saw that you're from Lodz.
I am.
Maybe you've heard about me or my blog.
I am looking for someone from Lodz who could help me.
[mouthing.]
- [whispers.]
I'm not here.
- [clears throat.]
- What's up? - Hi! I'm sorry about this phone call, but I think we'll make better conversation if we can see each other.
Especially since I can see someone this beautiful.
[giggles.]
- Cool.
- Sorry, that was lame.
I apologize.
- Right.
And? - And it's a shame you're not wearing that swimsuit.
- [mouthing.]
- Again.
Sorry! Uh, Olek, the clip that you uploaded, what's that about? I know nothing apart from what's on that recording, unfortunately.
I didn't really approach the person.
Because whomever did it might have still been there.
So that guy was dead? I don't know.
There was a bag on his head, he wasn't breathing.
What would you have done? Would you have stayed or left from there as soon as possible? Right, but you did take the time to record it.
And I called the police immediately.
Wait, so you reported it to them? And posted the video.
If that's not enough The police haven't found anything there.
No body, no crime.
So what were you doing in that empty warehouse, alone? What everybody else is doing! Dead Aim.
Dead Aim? You play Dead Aim? And do you know this player MistrzBestiii? Three "I" s at the end.
No.
He was playing there at the same time.
- I didn't see anyone else there.
- Okay, but there are two videos.
Don't you think it's strange that two players suddenly turn up at the same place? No.
That's what makes this game so awesome.
[Dorota.]
The only thing we got from him was the confirmation that the body was there and that the victim probably was a gamer too.
Piast, what's new with MistrzBestiii? MistrzBestiii hasn't logged in for at least 20 hours.
So he logged in for the last time a while after it had been reported to the police? His absence right now doesn't mean it was always the case, does it? Some time ago, we had this video series about face creams.
Remember? I'm trying to forget about it.
So, I do the talking, saying they're freaking amazing and eco.
And then it turned out that this company was testing them on animals.
- Remember the outrage? - We removed everything.
Real bummer anyway.
Nothing disappears on the internet.
Because social networks archive all of their content from time to time.
[chuckles.]
I also have an internet story I would rather forget.
I had little curls back then.
[Piast.]
For me, it's photos from the IT Olympics three years ago.
Believe me, I'd prefer the curly hair.
Natalia Jagoda.
ADD TO FRIENDS MistrzBestiii in real life.
You mean that her real name is Natalia Jagoda, yes? That's what I just said.
Did she remove all the posts related to the game? Yeah, in the last couple of days.
Are you able to track her? Sure.
But that will take a couple of hours.
Oh.
I would like to report that my daughter is missing.
- Good evening.
- Natalia.
I think something bad must have happened.
She always calls me, but I haven't heard from her in some time.
- Name and last name? - Sylwia Jagoda and Natalia Jagoda.
It must be that phone game.
She was constantly playing it.
Really pissed me off.
We were fighting about it.
Even though we freaking get along so well.
No issues.
[man.]
Please don't smoke in here.
- I'm about to go outside to smoke.
- What game were you talking about? What game? The one on the phone! Where you press and it makes you shoot and kill those robots.
All the kids in our family are playing it.
Arletka, Konrad My sister showed it to me.
Even my stupid sister played it.
- Is that her? - Yes.
Airplanes lift people up to the sky.
How beautiful.
It's a shame we only have two flights per day.
Sometimes we only have one.
And yet I have to listen to complaints about massive queues at the security check.
[phone ringing.]
- Don't mind me, pick it up.
- No, I apologize.
[ringing stops.]
Tomek, your job is a mission.
You are responsible for the safety of a million people.
I wouldn't exaggerate like that.
Here, in Radom? Tell me, where did the clever and attentive Tomek go? The one who promised me that he would do his job the best he can? If he's not here, I will have to hire someone else to fill the void.
Is it normal for Tomek to just disappear like that? Him? Not at all.
He always has his phone with him.
Have you seen his message? He said it's important.
I will try to track him down.
[line rings for door entry.]
No luck.
Tomek is out of reach or his mobile is turned off.
Piast, are you sure that's the correct address? There's nobody here.
- You are at the right place.
- [Ola.]
I'll ring one more time.
[line ringing for door entry.]
What are you doing here? Me? What are you doing here? Me? I'm looking for Natalia Jagoda who is I know who she is.
She's a gamer.
She went missing yesterday.
Do you know anything about that? What's the password? Do you know it? [Sylwia sighs.]
So are you going to call the technicians and wait or Piast? Okay, please step aside.
She is our specialist in the field of information technology, let's say.
[sighs.]
Uh, Piast, what could Natalia's computer's password be? Puma 133, written as one.
- [Ola.]
Uh, Puma - Puma A.
Pumaa133 It's not working.
- Capital letter.
- [Ola.]
Okay.
PumaA133.
I'm in! God, that's one hell of a mess.
Uh I found her chat logs with other players.
Especially one, Blue Phoenix.
- Can you send it to us? - I'd like to have it too, please.
The hoodie! The same as the victim's.
- Michal, he has the same hoodie.
- This doesn't mean anything.
Uh Okay, I think I know how to reach Phoenix.
Okay, okay, okay.
Okay.
He signs e-mails with his real name.
It's Stefan Cybulski.
Hold on.
Okay, got him.
Stefan Cybulski.
Thirty years old.
He runs a newsstand in Widzew.
- [whispers.]
What's Widzew? - I don't know.
Listen, I just noticed every gamer, Natalia, Olek, and now Stefan, they're on the masters' level.
They have their own special missions.
And from what I can see, there are ten players on that level in Lodz.
Somebody's killing all the best players? In the end, Olek was right not to disclose himself.
Michal, can you get protection for Olek? He's our only eyewitness who saw the body.
What protection? Nobody at the station is going take it seriously! Please, a guy has died! Natalia is missing! Isn't that enough? You can only say that somebody is missing when 48 hours have passed.
Don't repeat unverified information.
Please don't worry about all of this, okay? [Piast.]
Oh, fuck! You have to see this.
Now! Some psycho is streaming.
I don't know what it is.
Natalia is alive! Come here! No, wait there! - It's Michal.
Where's this coming from? - Um - It's on the forum.
- Can you trace the signal? - Get going.
I will locate her.
- Good.
Do it.
Please stay here! [Michal.]
Go forward, it's not here.
Okay, stop, stop, stop! Can you stop being so loud with your shoes? - This is some sort of fucking joke.
- Do you see this? Let's go.
All clear over here! Boss, we've got something here.
Motherfucking psycho! Where is she? He's toying with us.
Fuck! - So this was a trap? - Call the tech guys! Okay.
Was the floor cleaned up? - There'll be an investigation.
- Fantastic news! Waldemar gave this case to Beata.
What about you? I'm supposed to get back to the pawnshop in Baluty.
Uh-huh.
That's a little unfair, no? I saw the video with that girl.
Horrible.
It just so happens that all the victims are master level players.
Do you know any of them? There's only a few of you.
No.
To be honest, I don't really mingle with the other players.
We're afraid that you might be the next target.
- What about the police? - I wouldn't count on them.
But there's this girl in Lodz.
She will help you.
Her name is Ola Serafin.
You're an important witness.
We can't let anything happen to you.
[mutters, sighing.]
Fine.
So can you just help me hide? At least for some time? How do you see this working out? We don't know anything about him.
Mom, do you know what a cool guy he is? Very nice, really.
He is so tiny and good.
Sheer goodness.
He has this funny haircut.
Like Elvis Presley.
From afar.
Up close, he seems smaller than him.
If I were you, I'd want to help someone like that.
He can just sleep on a mattress.
It'll only be for a day, two at most.
It's not even that he is in danger Well, isn't that what the police are for? Ask this handsome friend of yours.
I already told you I don't want any strange men in the house.
I remember.
But you know, one has to help others.
Ola.
Don't manipulate me.
Take care of your own problems, instead of running around solving those of other people.
- Mom - It's a no.
Are you just gonna sit here like that? This is the kitchen.
Help yourself to whatever you'd like.
There's always something in the fridge.
Grab what you need.
Unless there are only two beers left.
If there are more, help yourself.
Thank you.
I feel so silly intruding on you like this.
Relax.
I'm taking this energy drink.
Mmm This will be your room.
You can take a nap there.
Yes, this is where you can sleep.
- [Klara.]
Grandpa? - She's not asleep yet? - [softly.]
No, because you're yelling.
- [whispers.]
Sorry! I'm sorry, I have to turn into a wizard.
I'm coming, darling! - Will you be okay? - Mm-hmm.
There's metadata missing in this video file.
I can't make out who recorded it and when.
- It didn't register just like that? - No.
Somebody removed it skillfully and on purpose.
So this dickhead is playing not only with the police but also with us? The only thing that I found in this video is It looks like what you found in the first warehouse.
And we still don't know what that is.
Did you find out who the other master-level players are? Nothing on the internet.
Completely.
[Ola.]
Right.
But let's take Krakow, for example.
There's a master level there too, but with other players.
So can a new player, from Krakow or Warsaw, on the masters' level, - come to Lodz, and lure the killer in? - Trying to convince a dude to As you know, we play a little.
Especially Dorota.
She's a great fan of Assassinâs Creed.
We know some people, and one of our fans is a total freak when it comes to games like that.
- He can help us find someone like that.
- Super.
How do we persuade someone to become the potential victim of a psychopath? We'll only use some other player's account and I'll be the decoy.
- No, Ola, I wouldn't do that.
- That's a bad idea.
- Relax.
I can do it.
- Ola, are you crazy? Have that policeman do it, or Henryk.
Calm down really.
Tomek would have never agreed to this.
[typing.]
- I don't believe this.
- [chuckles.]
- And yet it's true.
- [scoffs.]
- Where - Is this what you're looking for? Tomek, I spoke to your boss.
What's going on with you? I have to send an important message.
Grazynka, this is serious! No! Every bit of free time you spend with those corpses - Because it excites me! - What about our baby? What baby if you can't even get pregnant? I'm sorry.
Klara couldn't fall asleep.
[Olek.]
Thank you.
You are a cool grandfather.
Klara is very lucky.
It's easier to be a good grandfather than a good father.
I'm sure you were a good father too.
How do you know what kind of father I was? [sighs.]
Drink up.
- Hi.
- Hello.
- There you go.
- Thanks.
- I'll call Ola.
- [man.]
Mm-hmm.
[Ola.]
Are you sure it's here? [man.]
Yes, I am sure.
It's a new mission.
It was activated a few hours ago.
Only for master-level players.
I can't wait to see what's there.
Supposedly, there are different missions in different cities.
[sighs, chuckles.]
[man.]
Listen, when you get inside be careful.
They can jump out at you at any time.
[whispers.]
Am I supposed to move forward? [Dorota.]
I'm saying it for the last time, it's a bad idea.
[Ola.]
There's nothing here.
- [electronic whirring.]
- [gasps.]
No! Fuck, what are you doing? [man.]
Sorry, I've got 85-percent accuracy.
Your salvos took several percent off.
I got scared.
So what should I do? They can kill me, can't they? Yes.
There's your life level in the bottom left corner.
[sighs.]
First aim and then shoot, not the other way around.
If you keep going like this, my statistics will [whispers.]
Okay! [line ringing.]
[Ola.]
Jesus the horror [gasps.]
Good! [laughs.]
And that's how it's done! Yeah.
[whispers.]
I'm going in.
[softly.]
Fuck! [electronic whirring.]
- [buzzing.]
- [gasps.]
[electronic firing.]
[whispers.]
Fuck, I'm starting to get what's so thrilling about this.
[electronic beeping in warehouse.]
What's that? [man.]
Oh.
Shh! Another player is coming.
[man grunting.]
[man gasps.]
- [Ola panting.]
- [man coughing.]
[Michal.]
Don't move! Police! Don't move! Spread your arms! Spread your arms! [coughing, gasping.]
It's pretty simple.
We will search your house and pull data from your mobile.
I have time.
But yours is running out.
I've already told you you've caught the wrong person.
Man, you fucked confused reality with this game! You attacked an actual person.
You attacked a girl! Shit.
I was defending myself! I thought it was the murderer.
I got scared.
You knew about the danger.
Two people died.
You continued to play.
How am I supposed to believe you? - How am I supposed to believe you? - It's more exciting.
We have the perpetrator.
I solved your case, Beata.
What's up? Tell me, do you have something on him? Proof? Anything? He threw himself attacked Aleksandra Serafin while she was pretending to be another You used the girl as bait to solve my case? I wasn't even in the warehouse where the body was found.
I never accomplished that mission! I was out of town! You can check it! Look into it! [Michal whispers.]
Fuck! What is she doing here? She is a witness and a victim in the case of that internet psychopath.
You let her risk her own life? Whose idea was that? We have arrested a suspect.
Do you have any proof of murder? No, but I'll get it.
The guy is detached.
He treats the victims like a mouse pad.
And the prosecutor will issue search and detention warrants on the basis of what, exactly? - [stammers.]
- We have procedures, for fuck's sake! - But I know the - Enough! What about the pawnshop case? Did you find the perpetrators? - No.
- No proof? That guy is going home.
Are you mad? You want to let him go? You can't release him! Take her outside.
You'll have another victim on your list.
Let me fucking go! [phone ringing.]
- Hello? - [Tomek.]
Hi.
I'm using my friend's phone.
Where have you been? We've been missing you.
I don't have time to explain.
Listen, it's important, I've checked that red paper from the crime scene.
It was in the second crime scene too.
It comes from a taser gun.
While shooting, it leaves this sort of confetti.
It seems that the killer paralyzes his victims first.
And then when he has absolute control over them, he puts a bag on their heads.
Understand? Wait wait That Soldier99, the one we caught, didn't have a taser gun.
He hurled himself at me.
It must mean that The murderer is still free.
[Ola.]
How's Olek? I don't know if he wants to stay any longer.
He started packing the moment I told him you caught the guy.
You must make him stay until we find the lunatic with the taser gun.
With what? The murderer always paralyses his victims before he strangles them.
Using a taser.
A shooting one.
Uh-huh.
Fine.
I'll try to convince him.
[sighs.]
Olek? Sorry.
[taser crackling.]
[gasping.]
Did you have to make me do that? It's your fault.
Grandpa? Grandpa? Grandpa! Grandpa! Grandpa! - [gasping.]
- Grandpa.
Grandpa.
Excuse me! Yes? Is this the tenth floor? Yes.
Oh.
[exhales.]
[soft click.]
[Olek grunting.]
- [Michal.]
Don't move! Don't fucking move! - [groaning.]
Bend your arm.
Bend it! - [door opens.]
- [approaching footsteps.]
Go downstairs.
You were supposed to wait in the car.
[Ola.]
You bastard! You'll rot in jail! You will spend the rest of your life in there.
You'll see, asshole! Bastard! Michal, I trusted him, do you understand? I fucking trusted him.
Henryk trusted him.
He almost killed him! - His granddaughter was there! - Stop the hysteria.
We checked him out.
He was clean, understand? There was no proof.
He nearly killed Henryk! Just threw a bag over his head! No.
Ola.
You nearly killed Henryk.
That is the truth.
[police siren approaching.]
What is the deal with you? - We vetted him.
- No, I mean in life.
You put a man's life in danger.
Do you realize that? Why are you doing all this? Are you bored? I think I'll kill myself today.
I just don't know how yet.
I have a towing rope in my car.
Or you can jump off an overpass.
The overpass.
Cool.
I'm in.
The overpass.
Nice.
Do you know what I have you saved as on my phone? - No.
What? - Aleksandra Overpass.
[Ola laughs.]
- And I have you as Michal Blue Pig.
- [Michal laughs.]
- Very endearing.
Thank you.
- [Ola chuckles.]
You work very hard for it.
- Want a lift? - Yes.
[theme song playing.]
[electronic firing continues.]
[electronic pulsing.]
[drone beeping.]
[soft clatter echoes.]
[electronic buzzing.]
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Bye.
Bye.
What are you looking at? Where do you think you will store all this? - In my room? - And where is "your" room? What's your problem? That's all I've got.
- A couple of years' worth of my life.
- Sounds ominous.
You just told me that you're glad I'm here.
That was before your jackets invaded my living room! - Fine! I'll destroy this! - Very well! Put it away! One minute! - [Ola sighs.]
- [phone ringing.]
What's up? Piast found something on the Dead Aim forum.
Is that a game? It's the future of gaming.
The immersion level is incredible! It combines a shooter game with augmented reality.
Virtual elements are added to the surroundings.
What about those of us who have only played Mario? Please, leave your beverages in the basket.
[Piast.]
Uh, I'm streaming two videos from the game now.
The left is gameplay.
The one on the right is a normal video.
What is this laptop doing here? Which one is the game and which one is real? - Well, what do you see? - Same thing on both.
- A guy with a bag over his head? - [Piast.]
And that is real.
Has it been recorded with two different phones? The one on the left during a round of Dead Aim? Capiche! God, has anybody reported it to the police? I am reporting it.
To the UV.
[theme song playing.]
[knocking at door.]
No! - Hi.
Come on in.
- What's up? What's that? I didn't have time to eat.
This is for later.
Give me a break.
Good day.
Now it's all clear.
You really do exist.
Anna Serafin.
- Michal Holender.
- Shall we? Do you really run around with your gun like that? - Better? - Mysterious.
Michal? Let's go.
Dear, could you not interrupt? Adults are speaking.
Nice chatting with you.
[Anna chuckles softly.]
The game gives you the location.
It happened in Lodz.
It's an internet joke.
A prank.
Like us calling the fire department for fun when we were kids You called them for fun? - You didn't? - No.
Look.
There's a bag on his head.
He was strangled to death.
We don't even know if someone reported it.
Even so, it's not the first time someone is making fun of the geeks.
Besides, they prank each other too.
Jokers, I'm telling you.
Someone has just lain there to scare another gamer.
Right, but there are two videos.
They were recorded separately.
One didn't come out right so they made another.
[sighs.]
Tomek said something about lividity marks.
Look at his hand.
Lividity marks.
It's probably just make up.
Shoot me now.
Real post-mortem lividity marks are formed two to four hours after death.
But do you know how long he's been there? How do you know it's a prank? To me it really isn't! Well, they just lie down on the ground at the respawn point.
Where? - The respawn point.
- What's that? Respawn is the place where the players are born.
You know a lot about games.
Probably as much as you about graffiti.
It sounds like obsessive gaming.
Anyway, to me it makes sense.
Someone planned it because they knew the body would be found here.
All right, I have to be at the station in 15 minutes.
Next time, call me.
But I really wanted you to visit.
Just kidding! Can I ask you for one favor though? Just the one.
Check if a dead body has been reported.
Okay? I will.
Not because you're blackmailing me but to make sure I'm right.
I'm not blackmailing but asking you.
Watch Mom when you go out.
- Are those your boxes from England? - Yeah.
Is that where you keep your husband? Just kidding.
The player who uploaded the recording is called MistrzBestiiii.
Four "I" s at the end.
I've searched the web and he doesn't use the name outside of the game.
Strange.
But it happens.
The second recording has been uploaded from an anonymous account.
I pulled out the metadata from the video.
Uh there is info about the recording device.
IMEI and the serial number.
Sony XZ.
Let's try to find your owner.
Telecom bases? Retailers? Warranty services? - Not that simple.
- I know that.
The hustle is real.
[woman.]
Did you finish your history paper? Doing it! Got two pages left.
[Tomek.]
When you find it, send the data of the phone owner to Regina.
Her charm will be enough to pull all the information out of the phone's owner.
What about the victim? Tomek, can you identify who it is? Sure, except the guy's got a bag on his head.
Right.
Maybe we need to check out those warehouses.
There can't be many warehouses like that in Lodz.
Man, what do you know about Lodz? This place is nothing but warehouses and factories.
And what do you know about Radom? The number of people in tracksuits, from space the city looks like the Olympic village.
[chuckling.]
[electronic music plays softly over speakers.]
[Ola vocalizes softly to music.]
[whispers.]
Attention! Ta-da! It's just a flashlight.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
A magic flashlight.
- Grandpa, can you leave for a bit? - What for? I want to do something alone.
I'll call you in a second.
Fair enough.
I'll go check up on our knights.
Ow! Okay, I'm off closing the gates.
[girl.]
Okay, close them.
Abracadabra, hocus-pocus, magic flashlight, call my mom! Mom! Grandpa has built a castle for us.
Are you coming back yet? Darling, two more weeks and I'll be healthy again! - Grandpa! I know it's you! - [phone ringing.]
Wait.
Klara, I'll come back in a minute.
- [Klara.]
Okay, please do! - Mm-hmm.
- Hello? - Hi, Henryk! I'm coming over, there's a new case.
Wait, I can't.
I'm looking after Klara.
Why? What's happening with Emilia? Again? Rehab.
Unfortunately.
Without it, things would turn ugly.
Okay, Henryk.
Hang in there.
Call me if you need anything.
I'll come by and help you.
I can look after Klara or whatever.
[phone ringing.]
- Hello.
- Hi.
[groans.]
- Jesus! What are you doing? - Rolling around.
I see.
That's cool.
- Anyway.
We had an anonymous call.
- Yeah? - A corpse in an abandoned warehouse.
- Yeah? But when the police patrol arrived, there was nothing.
And do you know the address of this warehouse? Will you go there with me? - Of course not! - Stop playing around.
Ola, I'm really busy.
I have priorities.
I'm going to Baluty to question a pawnshop owner.
Just give me that address.
For you the case is over anyway.
I'll think about it.
[soft clatter.]
[computer chimes.]
- He accepted the invitation! - The guy that Piast found? A good profile pic can work miracles.
Hey! It's me wearing a bikini! It's my picture! Ask him.
Go on! Hi there! I saw that you're from Lodz.
I am.
Maybe you've heard about me or my blog.
I am looking for someone from Lodz who could help me.
[mouthing.]
- [whispers.]
I'm not here.
- [clears throat.]
- What's up? - Hi! I'm sorry about this phone call, but I think we'll make better conversation if we can see each other.
Especially since I can see someone this beautiful.
[giggles.]
- Cool.
- Sorry, that was lame.
I apologize.
- Right.
And? - And it's a shame you're not wearing that swimsuit.
- [mouthing.]
- Again.
Sorry! Uh, Olek, the clip that you uploaded, what's that about? I know nothing apart from what's on that recording, unfortunately.
I didn't really approach the person.
Because whomever did it might have still been there.
So that guy was dead? I don't know.
There was a bag on his head, he wasn't breathing.
What would you have done? Would you have stayed or left from there as soon as possible? Right, but you did take the time to record it.
And I called the police immediately.
Wait, so you reported it to them? And posted the video.
If that's not enough The police haven't found anything there.
No body, no crime.
So what were you doing in that empty warehouse, alone? What everybody else is doing! Dead Aim.
Dead Aim? You play Dead Aim? And do you know this player MistrzBestiii? Three "I" s at the end.
No.
He was playing there at the same time.
- I didn't see anyone else there.
- Okay, but there are two videos.
Don't you think it's strange that two players suddenly turn up at the same place? No.
That's what makes this game so awesome.
[Dorota.]
The only thing we got from him was the confirmation that the body was there and that the victim probably was a gamer too.
Piast, what's new with MistrzBestiii? MistrzBestiii hasn't logged in for at least 20 hours.
So he logged in for the last time a while after it had been reported to the police? His absence right now doesn't mean it was always the case, does it? Some time ago, we had this video series about face creams.
Remember? I'm trying to forget about it.
So, I do the talking, saying they're freaking amazing and eco.
And then it turned out that this company was testing them on animals.
- Remember the outrage? - We removed everything.
Real bummer anyway.
Nothing disappears on the internet.
Because social networks archive all of their content from time to time.
[chuckles.]
I also have an internet story I would rather forget.
I had little curls back then.
[Piast.]
For me, it's photos from the IT Olympics three years ago.
Believe me, I'd prefer the curly hair.
Natalia Jagoda.
ADD TO FRIENDS MistrzBestiii in real life.
You mean that her real name is Natalia Jagoda, yes? That's what I just said.
Did she remove all the posts related to the game? Yeah, in the last couple of days.
Are you able to track her? Sure.
But that will take a couple of hours.
Oh.
I would like to report that my daughter is missing.
- Good evening.
- Natalia.
I think something bad must have happened.
She always calls me, but I haven't heard from her in some time.
- Name and last name? - Sylwia Jagoda and Natalia Jagoda.
It must be that phone game.
She was constantly playing it.
Really pissed me off.
We were fighting about it.
Even though we freaking get along so well.
No issues.
[man.]
Please don't smoke in here.
- I'm about to go outside to smoke.
- What game were you talking about? What game? The one on the phone! Where you press and it makes you shoot and kill those robots.
All the kids in our family are playing it.
Arletka, Konrad My sister showed it to me.
Even my stupid sister played it.
- Is that her? - Yes.
Airplanes lift people up to the sky.
How beautiful.
It's a shame we only have two flights per day.
Sometimes we only have one.
And yet I have to listen to complaints about massive queues at the security check.
[phone ringing.]
- Don't mind me, pick it up.
- No, I apologize.
[ringing stops.]
Tomek, your job is a mission.
You are responsible for the safety of a million people.
I wouldn't exaggerate like that.
Here, in Radom? Tell me, where did the clever and attentive Tomek go? The one who promised me that he would do his job the best he can? If he's not here, I will have to hire someone else to fill the void.
Is it normal for Tomek to just disappear like that? Him? Not at all.
He always has his phone with him.
Have you seen his message? He said it's important.
I will try to track him down.
[line rings for door entry.]
No luck.
Tomek is out of reach or his mobile is turned off.
Piast, are you sure that's the correct address? There's nobody here.
- You are at the right place.
- [Ola.]
I'll ring one more time.
[line ringing for door entry.]
What are you doing here? Me? What are you doing here? Me? I'm looking for Natalia Jagoda who is I know who she is.
She's a gamer.
She went missing yesterday.
Do you know anything about that? What's the password? Do you know it? [Sylwia sighs.]
So are you going to call the technicians and wait or Piast? Okay, please step aside.
She is our specialist in the field of information technology, let's say.
[sighs.]
Uh, Piast, what could Natalia's computer's password be? Puma 133, written as one.
- [Ola.]
Uh, Puma - Puma A.
Pumaa133 It's not working.
- Capital letter.
- [Ola.]
Okay.
PumaA133.
I'm in! God, that's one hell of a mess.
Uh I found her chat logs with other players.
Especially one, Blue Phoenix.
- Can you send it to us? - I'd like to have it too, please.
The hoodie! The same as the victim's.
- Michal, he has the same hoodie.
- This doesn't mean anything.
Uh Okay, I think I know how to reach Phoenix.
Okay, okay, okay.
Okay.
He signs e-mails with his real name.
It's Stefan Cybulski.
Hold on.
Okay, got him.
Stefan Cybulski.
Thirty years old.
He runs a newsstand in Widzew.
- [whispers.]
What's Widzew? - I don't know.
Listen, I just noticed every gamer, Natalia, Olek, and now Stefan, they're on the masters' level.
They have their own special missions.
And from what I can see, there are ten players on that level in Lodz.
Somebody's killing all the best players? In the end, Olek was right not to disclose himself.
Michal, can you get protection for Olek? He's our only eyewitness who saw the body.
What protection? Nobody at the station is going take it seriously! Please, a guy has died! Natalia is missing! Isn't that enough? You can only say that somebody is missing when 48 hours have passed.
Don't repeat unverified information.
Please don't worry about all of this, okay? [Piast.]
Oh, fuck! You have to see this.
Now! Some psycho is streaming.
I don't know what it is.
Natalia is alive! Come here! No, wait there! - It's Michal.
Where's this coming from? - Um - It's on the forum.
- Can you trace the signal? - Get going.
I will locate her.
- Good.
Do it.
Please stay here! [Michal.]
Go forward, it's not here.
Okay, stop, stop, stop! Can you stop being so loud with your shoes? - This is some sort of fucking joke.
- Do you see this? Let's go.
All clear over here! Boss, we've got something here.
Motherfucking psycho! Where is she? He's toying with us.
Fuck! - So this was a trap? - Call the tech guys! Okay.
Was the floor cleaned up? - There'll be an investigation.
- Fantastic news! Waldemar gave this case to Beata.
What about you? I'm supposed to get back to the pawnshop in Baluty.
Uh-huh.
That's a little unfair, no? I saw the video with that girl.
Horrible.
It just so happens that all the victims are master level players.
Do you know any of them? There's only a few of you.
No.
To be honest, I don't really mingle with the other players.
We're afraid that you might be the next target.
- What about the police? - I wouldn't count on them.
But there's this girl in Lodz.
She will help you.
Her name is Ola Serafin.
You're an important witness.
We can't let anything happen to you.
[mutters, sighing.]
Fine.
So can you just help me hide? At least for some time? How do you see this working out? We don't know anything about him.
Mom, do you know what a cool guy he is? Very nice, really.
He is so tiny and good.
Sheer goodness.
He has this funny haircut.
Like Elvis Presley.
From afar.
Up close, he seems smaller than him.
If I were you, I'd want to help someone like that.
He can just sleep on a mattress.
It'll only be for a day, two at most.
It's not even that he is in danger Well, isn't that what the police are for? Ask this handsome friend of yours.
I already told you I don't want any strange men in the house.
I remember.
But you know, one has to help others.
Ola.
Don't manipulate me.
Take care of your own problems, instead of running around solving those of other people.
- Mom - It's a no.
Are you just gonna sit here like that? This is the kitchen.
Help yourself to whatever you'd like.
There's always something in the fridge.
Grab what you need.
Unless there are only two beers left.
If there are more, help yourself.
Thank you.
I feel so silly intruding on you like this.
Relax.
I'm taking this energy drink.
Mmm This will be your room.
You can take a nap there.
Yes, this is where you can sleep.
- [Klara.]
Grandpa? - She's not asleep yet? - [softly.]
No, because you're yelling.
- [whispers.]
Sorry! I'm sorry, I have to turn into a wizard.
I'm coming, darling! - Will you be okay? - Mm-hmm.
There's metadata missing in this video file.
I can't make out who recorded it and when.
- It didn't register just like that? - No.
Somebody removed it skillfully and on purpose.
So this dickhead is playing not only with the police but also with us? The only thing that I found in this video is It looks like what you found in the first warehouse.
And we still don't know what that is.
Did you find out who the other master-level players are? Nothing on the internet.
Completely.
[Ola.]
Right.
But let's take Krakow, for example.
There's a master level there too, but with other players.
So can a new player, from Krakow or Warsaw, on the masters' level, - come to Lodz, and lure the killer in? - Trying to convince a dude to As you know, we play a little.
Especially Dorota.
She's a great fan of Assassinâs Creed.
We know some people, and one of our fans is a total freak when it comes to games like that.
- He can help us find someone like that.
- Super.
How do we persuade someone to become the potential victim of a psychopath? We'll only use some other player's account and I'll be the decoy.
- No, Ola, I wouldn't do that.
- That's a bad idea.
- Relax.
I can do it.
- Ola, are you crazy? Have that policeman do it, or Henryk.
Calm down really.
Tomek would have never agreed to this.
[typing.]
- I don't believe this.
- [chuckles.]
- And yet it's true.
- [scoffs.]
- Where - Is this what you're looking for? Tomek, I spoke to your boss.
What's going on with you? I have to send an important message.
Grazynka, this is serious! No! Every bit of free time you spend with those corpses - Because it excites me! - What about our baby? What baby if you can't even get pregnant? I'm sorry.
Klara couldn't fall asleep.
[Olek.]
Thank you.
You are a cool grandfather.
Klara is very lucky.
It's easier to be a good grandfather than a good father.
I'm sure you were a good father too.
How do you know what kind of father I was? [sighs.]
Drink up.
- Hi.
- Hello.
- There you go.
- Thanks.
- I'll call Ola.
- [man.]
Mm-hmm.
[Ola.]
Are you sure it's here? [man.]
Yes, I am sure.
It's a new mission.
It was activated a few hours ago.
Only for master-level players.
I can't wait to see what's there.
Supposedly, there are different missions in different cities.
[sighs, chuckles.]
[man.]
Listen, when you get inside be careful.
They can jump out at you at any time.
[whispers.]
Am I supposed to move forward? [Dorota.]
I'm saying it for the last time, it's a bad idea.
[Ola.]
There's nothing here.
- [electronic whirring.]
- [gasps.]
No! Fuck, what are you doing? [man.]
Sorry, I've got 85-percent accuracy.
Your salvos took several percent off.
I got scared.
So what should I do? They can kill me, can't they? Yes.
There's your life level in the bottom left corner.
[sighs.]
First aim and then shoot, not the other way around.
If you keep going like this, my statistics will [whispers.]
Okay! [line ringing.]
[Ola.]
Jesus the horror [gasps.]
Good! [laughs.]
And that's how it's done! Yeah.
[whispers.]
I'm going in.
[softly.]
Fuck! [electronic whirring.]
- [buzzing.]
- [gasps.]
[electronic firing.]
[whispers.]
Fuck, I'm starting to get what's so thrilling about this.
[electronic beeping in warehouse.]
What's that? [man.]
Oh.
Shh! Another player is coming.
[man grunting.]
[man gasps.]
- [Ola panting.]
- [man coughing.]
[Michal.]
Don't move! Police! Don't move! Spread your arms! Spread your arms! [coughing, gasping.]
It's pretty simple.
We will search your house and pull data from your mobile.
I have time.
But yours is running out.
I've already told you you've caught the wrong person.
Man, you fucked confused reality with this game! You attacked an actual person.
You attacked a girl! Shit.
I was defending myself! I thought it was the murderer.
I got scared.
You knew about the danger.
Two people died.
You continued to play.
How am I supposed to believe you? - How am I supposed to believe you? - It's more exciting.
We have the perpetrator.
I solved your case, Beata.
What's up? Tell me, do you have something on him? Proof? Anything? He threw himself attacked Aleksandra Serafin while she was pretending to be another You used the girl as bait to solve my case? I wasn't even in the warehouse where the body was found.
I never accomplished that mission! I was out of town! You can check it! Look into it! [Michal whispers.]
Fuck! What is she doing here? She is a witness and a victim in the case of that internet psychopath.
You let her risk her own life? Whose idea was that? We have arrested a suspect.
Do you have any proof of murder? No, but I'll get it.
The guy is detached.
He treats the victims like a mouse pad.
And the prosecutor will issue search and detention warrants on the basis of what, exactly? - [stammers.]
- We have procedures, for fuck's sake! - But I know the - Enough! What about the pawnshop case? Did you find the perpetrators? - No.
- No proof? That guy is going home.
Are you mad? You want to let him go? You can't release him! Take her outside.
You'll have another victim on your list.
Let me fucking go! [phone ringing.]
- Hello? - [Tomek.]
Hi.
I'm using my friend's phone.
Where have you been? We've been missing you.
I don't have time to explain.
Listen, it's important, I've checked that red paper from the crime scene.
It was in the second crime scene too.
It comes from a taser gun.
While shooting, it leaves this sort of confetti.
It seems that the killer paralyzes his victims first.
And then when he has absolute control over them, he puts a bag on their heads.
Understand? Wait wait That Soldier99, the one we caught, didn't have a taser gun.
He hurled himself at me.
It must mean that The murderer is still free.
[Ola.]
How's Olek? I don't know if he wants to stay any longer.
He started packing the moment I told him you caught the guy.
You must make him stay until we find the lunatic with the taser gun.
With what? The murderer always paralyses his victims before he strangles them.
Using a taser.
A shooting one.
Uh-huh.
Fine.
I'll try to convince him.
[sighs.]
Olek? Sorry.
[taser crackling.]
[gasping.]
Did you have to make me do that? It's your fault.
Grandpa? Grandpa? Grandpa! Grandpa! Grandpa! - [gasping.]
- Grandpa.
Grandpa.
Excuse me! Yes? Is this the tenth floor? Yes.
Oh.
[exhales.]
[soft click.]
[Olek grunting.]
- [Michal.]
Don't move! Don't fucking move! - [groaning.]
Bend your arm.
Bend it! - [door opens.]
- [approaching footsteps.]
Go downstairs.
You were supposed to wait in the car.
[Ola.]
You bastard! You'll rot in jail! You will spend the rest of your life in there.
You'll see, asshole! Bastard! Michal, I trusted him, do you understand? I fucking trusted him.
Henryk trusted him.
He almost killed him! - His granddaughter was there! - Stop the hysteria.
We checked him out.
He was clean, understand? There was no proof.
He nearly killed Henryk! Just threw a bag over his head! No.
Ola.
You nearly killed Henryk.
That is the truth.
[police siren approaching.]
What is the deal with you? - We vetted him.
- No, I mean in life.
You put a man's life in danger.
Do you realize that? Why are you doing all this? Are you bored? I think I'll kill myself today.
I just don't know how yet.
I have a towing rope in my car.
Or you can jump off an overpass.
The overpass.
Cool.
I'm in.
The overpass.
Nice.
Do you know what I have you saved as on my phone? - No.
What? - Aleksandra Overpass.
[Ola laughs.]
- And I have you as Michal Blue Pig.
- [Michal laughs.]
- Very endearing.
Thank you.
- [Ola chuckles.]
You work very hard for it.
- Want a lift? - Yes.
[theme song playing.]
