[somber piano music playing]
[music grows mournful]
[high-pitched ringing]
GO AHEAD, BROTHER
[ringing subsides]
[somber music playing]
[Johnny] He's been shot
from three feet away.
You want me to believe
a man with his experience
got caught off-guard like that?
Oleg was experienced too,
and he got caught off-guard.
Well then,
since this Gwiazda is so impressive,
maybe you should consider hiring him?
When I get my hands on him,
I'll think about it.
[Tomczyk clears throat]
[Bogdan] All right.
[music fades]
Okay, are you sure?
Do you believe him?
Okay.
Thanks, Johnny. Bye.
May I speak openly?
Sit. [sighs]
[sighs]
Damian's choice as your head of security
was meant to guarantee his dad
would accept his role in the organization.
And that established
a particular equilibrium that enabled me
to conduct my affairs without disturbance.
But that balance has been disturbed.
His methods, all the damage he's done,
he's completely unpredictable.
And I do not believe
the situation can be rectified.
Damian is chaos.
What we need is some discipline.
[sighs]
[Bogdan] Tell me something, Tomczyk.
You're dancing around the subject
like a fucking ballerina
in a fucking ballet performance.
So let me ask you,
what's your fucking point here?
The point is that, in my opinion,
every rationale would lead us
to conclude that we must
in some fashion or another,
eliminate the Czorny family.
So, what are your expectations?
Um
I'd like you to give me
full control over the Czornys' business.
Is that all you want?
[Bogdan inhales sharply]
[ominous music playing]
[line ringing]
[Marta sighs]
Hi, Red. Um Oskar is not picking up.
What? He's not with you?
[Red] Okay.
All right, thanks. Bye. Hey.
Marta doesn't know where he is either.
He didn't tell you who attacked you?
If you guys don't know
where he is right now he's already dead.
So, he did tell you something, didn't he?
I don't know.
He was talking about some people.
What people?
People. I don't know if it means anything.
The ones who attacked you, maybe?
- I have no idea.
- [Red] Okay, we're taking you with us.
- You'll testify.
- I told you. I don't know anything.
Maybe you'll remember something.
[line ringing]
[cell phone ringing]
- Hello?
- [Tomczyk] Hi there, Yeva.
How is your boyfriend doing?
Is he looking for me?
That him?
Um I'm sorry, sir, but I won't be able
to come into work anymore.
Yeva, take a moment to think carefully
about what you're going to say next
so that you don't regret anything later.
Okay?
- Yeah.
- Let me ask you again.
And you'll respond politely this time.
- Where is your
- [line beeps]
It's nothing, just, um, the woman
I cleaned for who was pissed off.
Come on.
Do you mind if we swing
by my place real quick?
- Marta's waiting at the police station.
- I have epilepsy.
I really have to take my medication, okay?
[sighs] Fuck's sake.
Sylwek, how many are they?
What gear do they have?
[Grzesiek] Shut your mouth.
Sylwek, how many exits?
I said shut the fuck up.
[whistles] Bro, I'm talking to you.
[groggily] I don't wanna talk
to you, Gwiazda.
Dude, I thought
they knocked your lights out.
- We've gotta get outta here.
- [grunts]
What did I say?
[Gwiazda sighs]
[chuckling softly]
What's so fuckin' funny?
Want me to hit you again?
Why are you so uptight all the time, dude?
When he comes back,
Damian will cut off your friend's feet.
We'll see if you're
so fucking cheerful then.
Hear that, Sylwek?
They'll give you a pedicure.
Can you imagine him behind bars?
[groans] Oh no.
He'd keep threatening everyone
with his little brother.
[laughs weakly]
[all laugh]
[tense music playing]
You find this fuckin' funny too?
Huh?
Is THIS funny? Huh?
You think I won't do it?
[Sylwek] Hey!
- [Grzesiek] You think I won't do it?
- [Sylwek] Hey!
You think I won't fuckin' do it?
Fuck!
[sighs]
You know you'll get 25 years
for the Russki?
He won't make it.
He'll have an "accident"
waiting for trial.
That's right.
They'll say you took your own life.
- [Sylwek] Is that what you want? Huh?
- Well?
You want that? Let us go, man.
Get the fuck out while you can.
[Sylwek] Hide somewhere.
Spain.
You could get ten good years
before the CBI get your ass.
And if you're lucky,
the statute of limitations might expire.
This is not a life for you.
- You're just not cut out for it.
- Nothing wrong with that, you know?
Let us go, man. And get the fuck out.
We'll help you.
[suspenseful music rises]
[Damian] Grzesiek!
Take a break.
Well, gentlemen?
Let's pick up the pace a bit.
How about that?
Oksana!
Honey, what's going on?
What happened?
He's a cop.
Distract him somehow,
and then come to me, okay?
[Oksana] Mm-hmm.
Hello.
- Hello.
- Sorry, sir. So sorry.
- But eight women sleep in that room.
- Sorry. I need to get through.
You can't go in.
Understand? You can't. Okay?
I didn't introduce myself, anyway.
But good day. I'm Oksana.
- Sebastian. Nice to meet you.
- Nice shirt, Sebastian.
Thank you, but I need to
Darn it, what a cheeky guy.
You push and push!
I'm telling you,
eight women sleep there after work!
Artem, darling! Come here.
- Come here, honey. Meet this nice man.
- Hello.
[somber music playing]
What's going on? Why are the police here?
Listen to me very carefully.
As soon as I leave, pack your things.
Take Artem and run away
as fast as you can. Immediately.
Tell no one where you're going.
Not even the girls. You hear me?
Yeva, please. What's going on?
Is this about Mr. Tomczyk?
- You're in danger now.
- Yeva.
Please, be careful.
Whoa.
Rad.
[Oksana] You can do it.
[Yeva] Yes.
[Oksana] I've got you. Go on.
- [Yeva] You've got me?
- Yes. You've got me? Got me?
- [Oksana] Go on. Almost there.
- Fuck.
Everything's gonna be fine.
Here we go. Okay.
Here we go. [gasps]
Holy shit.
[panting]
[Sylwek inhales sharply, grunts]
[Gwiazda] Tomczyk found out
and threatened he'd give me over to you
if I didn't pay him off.
- So, I needed help right away.
- [Damian] Mm-hmm.
Sylwek didn't want to do it.
It was my idea. It was my idea.
[Sylwek inhales sharply]
If you didn't act on his orders,
how did he find out about your plan, huh?
- [Gwiazda] He planted a camera.
- Actually, that was me.
How did he know the plan?
Maybe his CBI mole
helped him put it together?
Elaborate.
Let him go first.
Let him go.
I'll tell you everything. Please.
[Sylwek] We're gonna die here.
[Gwiazda] You can take it.
Is that her?
Her name is Skóra.
She questioned me yesterday.
She knew I paid off Tomczyk.
Only he could have told her that.
- And what did she want?
- She was testing me.
Whether I'd rat on Tomczyk.
If you've got a problem with him,
then kill him, and leave us alone, man.
Which one of you killed Oleg?
- Who killed Oleg?
- [both] Me.
Shut up Sylwek!
It was me.
I can get rid of Tomczyk for you.
Just let him go.
Stop it, Gwiazda!
It was me!
- [Gwiazda] It was me.
- [Sylwek] Me.
It was me!
[Sylwek screams]
[somber music playing]
[cell phone ringing]
Hello, Yeva. This is Marta.
Please, help me.
I need to know where Osk
[somber music continues on headphones]
[music fades]
[Damian] See ya.
We shouldn't act like this, Damian.
This isn't us.
Fuckin' hiding around some old factories?
Bogdan called a meeting.
All of us are supposed to show up to it.
Did I tell you how he got rid
of Felek and became the boss?
- Felek was killed by his bodyguard, right?
- And Bogdan killed the bodyguard.
Before he got to tell anyone
who ordered him to do it.
I remember that day.
There was something going on.
Just like today.
Okay, sonny, let's finish this.
It's do or die.
Dad! You're staying here.
You've gotta be fucking joking.
You're gonna need me.
My boy you can't go
to that meeting by yourself.
I'll take Grzesiek.
If anything goes wrong
you leave town, okay?
I left you some money.
- What the fuck is wrong with that boy?
- [Grzesiek urinating]
Where did I go wrong?
Grzesiek! Get down!
- You're coming with me.
- I'm not going anywhere!
I'm not sitting in the car again
like some fucking chauffeur!
Get down!
[grunts]
For fuck's sake! When I get you
Dad, don't get angry.
- No, no!
- Come on, Grzesiek! Come on.
[Bogdan grunting]
[Johnny] So? Have you made a decision?
[Bogdan grunts]
- Let me help.
- [Bogdan] Help?
Why don't you just fucking buy me
some Velcro shoes?
- There's no shame in accepting help, boss.
- Fuck off, Johnny!
[Johnny grunts]
[Bogdan exhales]
Here.
What would you do if you were me, huh?
Tomczyk is unpredictable
and has no honor.
I'd bet on the Czornys.
[somber music playing]
[Johnny] We gotta go, boss.
This is your sign, all right?
If I put it on my right hand,
it means I've decided
to go with the Czornys.
If I put it on my left hand Tomczyk.
Okay.
And if
And if what?
If I decide to put it in my pocket
it's both.
[Johnny] Mm-hmm.
Tomczyk and the Czornys.
[energetic music playing]
[woman on PA] The bus to Kyiv will leave
from platform ten at 1:20 p.m.
Passengers are asked to take their seats.
[girl] You're pretty.
Uh
[gentle music playing]
You're prettier.
I apologize for her.
Oh, it's all right.
- How old are you?
- [girl] Ten.
You little liar.
[chuckles] I'm eight.
- You're not scared?
- Of what?
To go back to your home.
[mother] All right. Move along.
[pensive music fades]
[sighs]
[suspenseful music rises]
[cell phone ringing]
FATHER
- What's up?
- Sonny, check the cameras.
[Damian] Hold on.
[under breath] Fuck.
[Grzesiek grunting]
- Let me see.
- It's too tight.
- Let me.
- No, it's too small!
Fuck
Are you gonna go like that?
Do you have some kind of fuckin' problem?
Tell me, man.
Nothing's good enough for you.
I just need you to calm down, okay?
You wanted me to kill Sergey,
and I killed him.
What else do I have to do?
Tell me what the fuck it is
I have to prove!
You wanted to prove yourself?
Now's your chance.
Don't ruin it.
Do you remember that boy
from my tech school?
The one who knocked my tooth out
in fourth grade?
We don't have the time for this.
He was laughing at you,
so you put a metal rod
between his bike's spokes.
And then you hit his face
with that fucking rod
until he spat out half his teeth.
We've gotta go, Grzesiek.
You were in grade school.
You were half my fuckin' height.
Get over yourself.
I was defending you, man.
But that wasn't your fuckin' role, dude!
I'm the one who was supposed
to defend you, man. Do you get it?
I was the big brother!
That's not what happened, Grzesiek.
That guy was laughing at you.
So, I went up to him
and hit him with a brick.
But he was bigger.
He lunged at me. Started beating me.
And you just stood there
and fucking watched.
You even apologized to him later.
You're fucking lying.
[Damian] The rod was lying on the ground.
You couldn't help me, so I helped myself.
And then you even smeared yourself
with his blood
and ran to our old man to tell him
you fuckin' defended me.
Stop fuckin' lying! You bastard!
Stop your fuckin' lying!
Stop it!
Stop fucking lying!
- Know why I didn't say anything then?
- Shut up!
Because you're my brother.
[car door closes]
[Grzesiek sighs]
[horn blares]
[sighs]
[gloomy music playing on headphones]
[indistinct chatter]
[mother] Sit down.
[intense rock music building]
[crying softly]
[song ends abruptly]
- Hold on.
- I'll do it.
- Hmm? Expecting something?
- You tell me.
[chuckles]
Hi.
Where's your old man?
He's not well. Heart.
[tense music playing]
I'll be frank with you guys.
You're placing me
in an extremely uncomfortable position.
Both of you.
You're in such a rush
to handle our business that
that you're willing
to jeopardize everything,
and that's putting it mildly.
- Everything I've built over so many years?
- [Damian] I just have one question.
Then you'll do
what you think you should, Bogdan. May I?
Easy.
Tomczyk claims he didn't really know
the Georgian.
And this is a lady from the CBI.
Named Skóra.
I'm just wondering
what did the CBI want with the Georgian?
What did they have on him?
Why did they want him arrested?
- Spit it out.
- [Tomczyk] Outrageous!
It's obviously some kind
of doctored photo, a deepfake.
Bogdan, you can't believe him.
He's just trying to fucking set me up.
Johnny, for fuck's sake!
[groans]
[screams, grunts]
[straining]
- [moans]
- [gasps]
[panting]
[Tomczyk groans]
[intense, rhythmic music building]
- [gun fires]
- Ah, fuck!
I've defended you.
- It was finally me.
- [Damian] It was you.
- [Grzesiek panting, choking]
- You're gonna be fine.
You hear me?
- You're fucking awesome, Grzesiek.
- [sighs]
[sniffles, sobbing softly]
No, fuck.
[silence falls]
[Gwiazda] Sylwek!
Sylwek!
Stay with me, you hear?
Sylwek.
[straining]
[chair creaking]
[somber music playing]
Grzesiek?
[Czorny sighs]
[inhales sharply]
Bogdan too.
[sniffles]
[Czorny exhales]
Tomczyk got away.
Hey, do something.
I told you all I knew.
Now fucking help him! Please. Come on.

I'm begging you, focus.
If you know
If you know where Sylwek is,
I'm begging you. Help me out.
Okay?
[Gwiazda grunts]
First of all, don't try anything.
You won't find your brother-in-law,
got it?
Second of all, time.
The knife perforated his intestine.
In two hours, he'll run a fever.
In three, bacteria will get
into his bloodstream,
and he'll get sepsis, so you should hurry.
You kill Tomczyk,
your brother-in-law goes to the hospital.
Are we clear?
[grunts]
Fuck.
[Damian] Take this.
I put my phone number in there,
just in case we get separated.
- Separated?
- [Damian] Yeah, separated.
We'll stay close.
- Didn't you forget something?
- Under the seat.
- And I'm supposed to trust you?
- Do you have any other options?
[Tomczyk moaning]
Fuck!
[woman] There!
[Tomczyk] Fuck. [groans]
- [phone ringing]
- [sighs]
[groans]
- Uh-huh.
- [grunts, sighs] Hello?
Uh Tomczyk
The Czornys killed my brother-in-law,
and I found his body. He was tortured.
[Tomczyk] My condolences.
[Gwiazda] They're a problem for you?
For me too.
I think we can help each other here.
Why? You want to take revenge?
I know where they are.
I just need gear and people.
I can pay you.
I've still got money from the robbery.
Go on. I'm listening.
Another two million.
I'll give you the fucking house,
just help me!
Hello?
Well, what do you say?
[grunts]
Oskar Oskar, man,
you sound like you're really upset.
Dude, do you even hear
what I'm fucking saying right now?
If you've got information
on the whereabouts
of a man accused of a crime,
you should, first and foremost,
notify the police as quickly as possible.
Do you think this line is tapped?
[call disconnects]
Hello, Tom Jesus fucking Christ.
- You scared him off.
- Thank you for that brilliant insight.
What now?
I'm thinking!
Maybe think faster.
[suspenseful music playing]
[screaming inaudibly]
We've survived worse things together.
I'll go get our passports.
Argentina?
Bobek, a glass.
[grunts]
[tires squeal]
Got it!
[line ringing]
[man] How long have you been
trying to arrest Bogdan?
[Skóra] Ten years.
[man] Some kind of management reshuffle?
[Skóra scoffs]
Maybe.
- And what do you know about the situation?
- Wait.
Wait, wait.
It's Gwiazda. I've got something for you.
Um, one second.
I need to find Tomczyk right now.
[Skóra] Uh I have no idea who that is.
So if I find his phone with your number,
I guess it'll just be
a pure fucking coincidence, right?
[scoffs] The man you're talking about
happens to be my informant.
Fucking stop it already,
please. Fucking stop.
If I find him within an hour,
I won't rat you out. That's the deal.
[sighs]
The address, Skóra.
I'm not sure.
Um he's got a hideout.
We checked the office
and Tomczyk's house,
but no luck, unfortunately.
Here you go.
Marta
Marta, even if we were to arrest him,
pimping is a charge that won't hold up.
Complicity in kidnapping my husband,
that also won't hold up?
[softly] Marta.
We can't be sure
he actually had your husband kidnapped.
We don't even know
where he could be hiding.
Um
Tomczyk called me from this phone number.
He was afraid of Oskar.
Why would he be afraid of him
if he doesn't have anything
to do with this?
Jesus, just do something. I don't know.
Track that number,
and help me find him, please.
Okay, Easy, easy, easy, easy.
[ominous music playing]
[sirens wailing]
[Red] We're going in with no recon.
We have to assume
there are weapons inside.
I repeat, there are weapons present.
We're only interested in Sylwek.
[Gameboy] We have to help him out.
Then we can mock him
for the rest of his life
for letting himself get caught
by fucking thieves.
[Tomczyk grunting]
Careful, boss. I've got you.
[Tomczyk] There.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. There.
[exhales]
[Bobek] What did I fucking tell
you whores?
Sit on your asses
in your rooms. Don't go out.
I'll just get my stuff.
I'm sorry, boss.
Uh, Julia will be here soon.
How about you take a rest
before your trip, Okay?
[grunts] Thank you, Bobek.
Sonia.
Sonia
Sonia? Sonia?
[grunting]
[Bobek] Oh, fuck.
[both grunting]
[groaning]
[Bobek groaning]
- [neck snaps]
- [gasps]
[Gwiazda panting]
[Sonia breathing shakily]
[sirens wailing]
[Gwiazda] Are the girls in their rooms?
You hide as well.
Whatever happens, don't come out.
You didn't see me, you don't know me.
[Tomczyk] Oskar.
Please.
Oskar, do you remember
what I said about your father?
Remember?
That he was an honorable man.
I I hope you inherited
this wonderful trait from him.
Oskar
You and I,
we together we can achieve great things.
Time is running out, Oskar.
[Tomczyk] With me,
you'll have anything you need.
Oskar, come on. Look around.
I don't have a gun.
You would never shoot anyone
who wasn't armed.
You're not like that.
You're a good person.
It's done. I shot him.
You hear? It's done.
[footsteps approaching]
[gasps, panting]
Screw you, motherfucker.
Her as well.
That wasn't part of the deal here.
Please stay calm.
Please stay calm, Oskar.
Stay calm.
[hesitates]
Please just let me go. Let me go, Oskar.
[body thuds]
[gun rattling]
[Damian] Is it done?
Gwiazda, is it done?
[Gwiazda] Yes.
Your buddies are coming for you.

Didn't plan to surrender, did you?
I did exactly what you wanted.
What about Sylwek?
What else do you want?
More like who.
Make a simple guess.
I'm waiting for you by the forest.
[tense music playing]
Oskar.
[panting]
You destroy everything.
[grunts]
The fuck did you get into, Oskar?
[panting]
You won't make it.
[tense music fades]
Here I am.
Were you hit?
No.
I just feel completely worn out.
You did a solid job, my friend.
You promised me something.
Go ahead.
Just shoot me.
