The Convict (2021) s01e07 Episode Script

1
There will be no more trouble.
Richter, I have a job for you.
If I say everything,
will the police protect me?
- Hello, Wiki.
- Richter?
- We'll give you a ride.
- I saw Ludmiła's video.
The memory card is in deposit. The watch.
- You want to bring Jura to Poland, right?
- You have contacts in Ukraine?
I'll try to get something done.
Paweł, she cannot find out.
Paweł knew Sara, Marika, Shiv, Richter.
It's all connected.
Calm down, there is no evidence
these two cases are linked.
I'll find it.
Honey
I've waited for so long
and I've missed you so much!
- Mom, let go, please.
- Wait, just a little more.
Just a while longer.
Just a moment.
I'm sorry I haven't visited.
- I couldn't.
- I know.
I know.
This must be so hard for you.
I let you down and screwed everything up.
You did.
Mothers should
protect their children, right?
At all cost.
Can you forgive me?
I can't.
- Why?
- And you know what?
You really are a shitty mother.
Hania, I will fix all of this
- You'll see, I will
- It's too late.
I hate you.
I hate you
- Hania
- Look at yourself.
Mothers should protect their children.
I hate you
I hate you!
Calm down, Alutka.
You had a bad dream.
You were calling out for Hanka.
It's all good.
Calm down, it was just a bad dream.
I have to get out of here
- I know, Aluta.
- I have to get out.
You will.
But maybe have
some breakfast first, right?
Fucking useless saving someone
with an empty stomach.
INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY
THE CONVIC
Aluta, we have to get you that,
you know, dream-catcher.
- You'll be like Pocahontas.
- Stop it.
Or you'll sleep with a pillow
over your face.
I'd like to speak to Palamarczuk.
- How long are we going to wait?
- Not now.
- I really have to, it's urgent.
- Not now, later!
Stasza!
Can we talk?
About what?
We got off on the wrong foot.
I wanted you to suffer,
but I don't want that anymore.
What's changed?
I realised that
an even worse bitch got to you.
Karma.
So I have something for you.
Will you accept that from Shiv?
A mandarin peace offering?
Move it.
Good morning.
Swieta Palamarczuk.
Counsellor Serafin. Please take a seat.
Compliments of the Polish
Consul in the Ukraine.
Take a look, please.
Your husband agreed
for your son to come to Poland.
He will be granted citizenship.
My son
can stay with me?
Yes.
I don't know how I can thank you.
I didn't do this. Alicja Mazur did.
Now we need the watch out of the deposit.
- How can you be eating this shit?
- Tastes good to me.
- You can have mine.
- Fucking awesome.
- We'll do it today.
- What?
We'll fuck this bitch up.
Okay, fine.
What is this?
A porn podcast?
I prefer to watch too.
She was supposed to get his confession,
not to sleep with him.
I don't know,
maybe she had to push him and couldn't
- She feared for her daughter.
- Why would she?
Paweł Witkowski.
We have nothing on him.
Right.
Guy runs a legit club,
fundraisers for policemen widows,
takes care of homeless animals,
a fucking walking saint.
There you go, hard to get him.
- What about the drugs you found?
- Drugs are in all clubs.
Are they? He also has dealings
with the inmates on passes.
Unless, I don't know,
he happened to hire them by accident.
- Maybe he's a fucking Samaritan?
- Yeah, sure.
Listen to me, I don't like him either.
But right now we have nothing on him.
Maybe you should push that Wiki chick.
She reached out and wanted to testify,
but must have changed her mind,
because she disappeared.
Maybe he hid her.
Maybe he did.
MISSING
I posted on Facebook and Insta
about her going missing.
Everyone's all upset,
but no one knows anything.
- Maybe this helps.
- I'll give it to the servers at the club.
- They'll distribute them.
- Thanks.
I'm really worried about her.
I bet she had another fight with Bednarek
and that's how she's punishing him.
She'll party out for a few nights,
run out of money and come back home.
Her phone is off and she hasn't posted,
it's not like her.
It's as if
Why does everyone I care about
suddenly disappear?
Not everybody. Wiki will turn up
and I'm not going anywhere.
Print some more of these,
we'll flood the city with them.
I have to go.
Bye.
Bye.
- Do you have it?
- Yes. Swieta did well.
- Where did you get the phone?
- You have 15 minutes.
Then we need to give it back
to that chick from the laundry room.
Okay.
Okay.
Can you watch? I'd like to see it.
- Hold on.
- Relax.
I know.
There it is. Wait.
My name is Ludmila Mielnik.
I'm scared for my life.
If something was to happen to me,
the police must see this video.
I know too much
and Paweł always gets what he wants.
He told me to keep my mouth shut,
but I can't do that.
Alicja must know the truth.
Paweł Witkowski
is not the person he claims to be.
Here you go.
Thanks.
Fuck
Okay, let's go.
Jesus
Take it, take it.
You got a gun?
My thoughts are my weapon
This is a prison
No changing that
Only once, only one time
Everyone's got time.
A month, a minute, a year
- Shut it!
- You're not taking my day
- The fuck is this? Bois de Boulogne?
- You're fucked!
Go back to the group!
You're not taking my day
My rock bottom is myself
Take Strzelecka from the yard.
Her lawyer's here.
Strzelecka, your lawyer is here!
- Who?
- Your lawyer.
- This must be a mistake.
- Maybe.
Is there another Strzelecka?
Not in this world.
Aren't you confusing clients, Counsellor?
You made Wiki into a dealer.
She's a resourceful girl,
she wanted to make some money.
Do you have a problem with that?
Do you? Go and spank her then.
But don't wag your finger at me.
The police arrested her
in the club with drugs on her.
They charged her.
Possession and distribution.
- When?
- It doesn't matter.
What matters is she kept quiet.
So what's the problem?
I need your help.
Want me to represent you?
Find Wiki, please.
She disappeared three days ago,
I haven't been able to reach her since.
Take this to Paweł.
He can do more.
He swears he had nothing to do with it,
but I'm sure he was involved.
All right.
I'll ask around.
I've told her to watch out so many times,
that little shit
When you're 18
you don't listen to advice.
Fuck me
What's up?
Wiki's out of business.
I thought only I hated the bitch.
That bitch is a good kid, get it?
She might be in a different place,
if her father hadn't sold her
for a bottle to his buddy.
I didn't know.
I got carried away.
But next time watch what you're saying.
And who let you fuck on my bed?
Get the fuck out.
Hi.
No physical contact. Mazur, come on.
I finally have something.
Listen.
This is Ludmiła's video.
She was terrified, scared for her life.
- You know this isn't proof.
- Of course.
It's not enough
to reopen the investigation,
but it should be enough to get the police
to start looking into Paweł.
One more thing.
And it concerns me.
On the video Ludmiła says,
that Paweł is not who he claims he is.
What do you know about him?
Not a lot.
He didn't say much.
I know his mother left
when he was a few years old.
Ran off with a lover,
his father took care of him.
He died a few years ago.
That's all I know.
Do you believe it?
I don't believe anything anymore.
Exactly.
- I just want to get him.
- And you will.
I will.
What about Hanka? Is he back home?
I've told you
that she trusts him, that
she has a soft spot for him.
What do you mean?
You know Hania.
She's naive, she's young.
What's going on?
Hey, look at me, what's up?
What's going on?
Serafin?
- Talk to me.
- Hania
You know the age,
she's growing up, she's confused
You know.
And?
She fell for him.
No
I was fucking planning on
telling you earlier
but there was just never a good time.
- No
- Ala.
It was just a matter of time
Ala, what's going on?
- Ala
- Step back.
- Just wait.
- She can't breathe.
- All right.
- Just take her!
All right.
Shh, just breathe.
You'll feel better in 15 minutes.
That's right
There, there.
You're all good now.
Breathe.
It's wet.
I've met someone, you know?
You'd like her.
It's impossible not to.
It's just like you said.
One look at her
and you just know,
that she is the one.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
She has these eyes
When she smiles
she looks like a little girl.
And when she's serious
she looks like a mature woman.
Relax, just relax. There we go.
Hania.
That's her name.
Hania.
Now we're talking.
Hania
I'll come by in a few days.
Can I go back to the ward?
Yes, medically speaking everything's fine,
I just thought you
could use a talk with someone friendly.
I'm a bad mother.
I couldn't save my daughter.
From what?
More like from whom
Thank you.
Thanks to you I was able
to do some good business.
The girl is popular.
She's wild.
When she first got to me,
she fought so hard
not to take it up her ass.
Bad luck, because it turns some people on.
Watch out for Bednarek.
He's your guy.
Yeah, but Wiki was his.
And he's too smart to believe
I had nothing to do
with her going missing.
So what? She's just a little whore,
who was going to rattle.
He'll find himself another.
He knows that.
But he doesn't like anyone
stirring in his pot.
Who does?
Hello.
You know what they do to girls like Wiki
in this whorehouse you took her to?
Let's say I don't, enlighten me.
They brand them like cattle.
Same fucking elephant tattoo.
Did you know the ones with elevated trunks
apparently bring luck?
Bring her back.
She won't make it, it'll destroy her.
From what I know,
I'm not a widower just yet.
First things first, Shiv.
Watch yourself.
I bite harder than I bark.
You're barking on my leash.
And don't you forget that.
Ever.
I'm waiting for good news.
- I don't know what's up with you, Hanka.
- What?
You've got to play aggressively, yes,
but don't just attack the players.
- They provoked me.
- We'll talk in the changing rooms.
Come on, Kaśka.
What is it this time?
Are you going to knock me out
and drag me to your car?
I'm done kidnapping.
- So you're here to apologise?
- No.
I don't intend to.
I wanted to protect you from him.
I still do.
You or her?
Hania
Your mother loves you very much.
You could pay her a visit.
Maybe she can convince you.
Hanka?
I have to go.
Open your eyes.
Hania, he's lying.
And you're shitting on those,
who really care about you.
Don't come here anymore.
Don't call, don't contact me at all.
- Hanka, I'm waiting!
- I'm coming.
Okay, why don't you ask him
what happened during the last visit.
Just ask him.
Well, hello, Counsellor.
Need some spare change for booze?
Can we meet?
Unfortunately, it won't be possible.
I'm an extremely busy man.
Screwing another teenager?
You're a funny guy.
You must be popular with the ladies.
Yeah, and you with the guys.
In jail.
And why exactly would I get there?
I'm just a lawful citizen.
Does Ludmiła Mielnik ring a bell?
She recorded a video before she died.
Powerful stuff.
Wanna come by? We'll set up a cinema club.
I'll text you the address.
Hello?
I have something for you.
Hold on.
What is it?
Shiv sent me.
I hear you were looking for Wiki.
What do you want?
You will leave Hanka alone.
You will tell her,
that what happened was a mistake,
that you have no feelings for her.
She won't believe me.
You'll do just fine,
you can be very persuasive.
How can I be sure,
that you haven't made a copy of the video?
You see, it's all on one memory card.
If you do what I ask,
I'll give it to you, you have my word.
Your word?
Well
I'm all good now.
Paweł
We're celebrating.
Piotruś, maybe you should take a break.
Pour me some more.
We've got him.
Why didn't you want
to meet at the station?
This is off the record.
I'm listening.
Let's say I knew something damning
about a lot of influential people.
I can testify,
but only as an incognito witness.
Cut a deal with the prosecution.
I need something before that.
One of the local club
supplies something extra.
Coke mixed with heroin.
Noble proportions, fifty fifty.
The clients had more fun and the girls
were easier.
They provided extra services
in the VIP section.
- A bit fun for everyone.
- Exactly.
They were often
attractive female inmates on passes
or locally recruited teenage girls.
Like Wiktoria Panek?
It was different with her.
I liked her and she was only mine.
I helped her get settled.
I saved her from poverty.
And now she's in the "Der Elefant"
whorehouse in Berlin.
I have done
many things, but I most certainly
am not the monster here.
I'm just his lawyer.
I need proof, something solid.
Your testimony's not enough.
There are recordings.
Barely anyone knows about them.
How do I get them?
I have access to them.
I have a good feeling about this.
I'll talk to the prosecutor
and I'll let you know.
I'll be in touch.
Jesus Christ!
Help me! Help!
- Sir? Can you hear me?
- Police, step back.
- He's not breathing.
- Calm down.
It's Cedro, get me an ambulance.
Stawowa 4.
Right now!
Is it the same shit
we've been eating for three years?
Same thing.
It's filling. Don't chew it, just swallow.
- Coated shit would've smelled better.
- Pati!
Seriously.
Don't eat it, Stasia.
Now.
- Shit!
- Calm down.
This food is shit.
This food is shit!
- Stop it!
- Do you like it?
- Stop it!
- How about you, did you fucking like it?
Paweł sends his regards, bitch.
It's thePyjasa street, ma'am.
Yes.
P for Paulina, Y for Yoda
and J for Jola.
Excuse me?
Fuck.
One of these days
the booze will kill you, Piotrek.
I
I've got you now
I've fucking got you.
Hey.
- Hey.
- Wanna grab a bite?
Let's see
Shall I heat it up?
Is something wrong?
No.
You know what they say,
"Don't con a con artist."
So?
What happened during the last visit?
I told you. We just talked.
I met with Serafin.
He told me everything.
Serafin told you everything?
I didn't want to tell you,
because I didn't want to hurt you.
I didn't want it, but it happened.
She initiated it.
If I stopped it,
she'd have figured it all out.
Fuck.
Hania, let me in, please.
Hanka!
I'm taking a bath.
Please, let me in.
Leave me alone.
We agreed I wouldn't tell her.
What was I supposed to do?
- What was I supposed to do!
- I don't know, maybe not fuck her?
I had to pretend,
it meant nothing, get it?
Hania, open, please.
Let's not talk like this.
Hania
You're the one I love, you know that.
- You know that
- I hate you.
It was terrible.
It is terrible.
I hate you.
I truly hate you.
But you know
I love you, Hania.
- You know everything.
- I hate you.
You know everything.
I love you.
You know that.
- You know that.
- Why did you do it?
Excuse me.
- Is this Paweł Wojnach?
- Speaking. What happened?
I'm sorry to inform you
your father passed away.
Hello? Sir, are you there?
Paweł?
Paweł?
What's happened?
Can you hear me?
What's going on?
Breathe.
- Do you want to report an assault?
- No.
I met with Bednarek.
He wanted to testify against Witkowski.
And what? He backed out?
He was hit by a car,
he's in critical care.
Guess I'm the lucky one.
I want you to do something for me.
Fucking hell.
Take the prints off that and run them.
Who are we looking for?
That's what I want to find out.
Finally you're here!
I've been waiting for you for so long.
I've missed you so much.
- Mom, let go.
- Wait, just a little more.
Just a little more.
Just a moment.
Did you cut your hair?
No.
How have you been? How's school?
Mom, we're in love.
Hania
he's fooling you.
- No.
- Yes.
No, Mom.
That man is not capable of love.
Were you capable of love?
What could you possibly know about that?
You've never really been there.
This isn't about me.
It's not
Paweł is a murderer.
- No, you killed Ludmila.
- No, no, no.
- It was an accident, I understand that.
- No, no, no
And now you send Serafin to me
and you think it'll change anything?
You're in prison
and you're still playing a mother?
No.
Please just understand
I don't want him to hurt you,
to make you miserable.
- I don't want that.
- He's not the one doing it.
- I wish I hadn't come here.
- Don't say that. Please, listen to me.
- Let go of me.
- Mrs. Mazur, calm down.
- Mom, let go. Let go of me!
- I'm begging you, don't
- Let me go!
- Stay away from him!
And now you've done it. Hands.
Hands!
Hania, you can't Hania
Please, don't
Let me go!
Let me go! I have to get out of here!
