Hey! Wait!

- Home.
This from what they did?
- Where are you from?
- Why do you care?
Relax, man, I'm not gonna hurt you.
Zburz near Lviv.
Oh, hey. I'm from Novogrudok.
- Seriously?
- Seriously.
Why are you here?
The krauts sent us
to a labor camp here in 1942.
What about you?
I came here with the Red Army
to look for my father.
He was in a labor camp here.
- Is he alive?
- Yeah.
Anyone else?
[boy sighs]
My mom and sister were killed
by the Germans in '43.
[dog barking]
If you need anything, come to me, okay?
[distant explosions]
I didn't tell anybody they beat me up.
You're a tough guy then.
But I'll never forget
what those fuckers did to me.

[flies buzzing]
What's up?
He chickened out. Doesn't want to talk.
[chief] Mika!
[camera snaps, winds]
[Mika sighs]
[Raptor] I don't remember that day.
I was drunk.
What the fuck can't you remember?
[Mika] Raptor, look at me. At me!
Right here.
All you have to do is show us
like you did at the police station.
[Mika] It's as easy as that.
Okay, let's go.
[water sloshing]
[flies buzzing]
You said I'd get three years,
but on the radio they said
They talk out of their asses.
They know nothing.
You either show it as we agreed or

Piotr Zarzycki.
Do you know where he is?
And who are you?
[Joanna laughs]
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm a reporter.
I work with your father at the newspaper.

Then you know he has issues.
[Joanna chuckles]

[Joanna] Dad?
Dad?
Well, he's not here.

Of course.

[flies buzzing]

[Mika] And what happened?
We were fooling around

Let me show you something.
[indistinct chatter]
[door opens]
[phone ringing]
He raped k kids and confessed.
- He deserves it.
- Look what I found at Mrs. Gwitt's place.
[Mika sighs]
It's a house rental agreement
with the Oaza estate.
What's so unusual about it?
[inhaling] It's a great place to live.
But she's just a worker at City Hall.
Where would she get that type of money?
[muffled ringing]
[Maryla] Hello. Oaza estate here.
Good morning, this is Ewa Gwitt.
I'm calling in regards
to renting a house there.
[Maryla] Which one?
[Jass] Number 18.
I'd like to arrange a meeting
to sign the contract.
Just a moment.
[muffled construction noise]
I have some lady on the line.
She wants to sign the contract
for renting housing unit 18.
- What lady is this?
- Some Ewa Gwitt.
Here. I'll take care of it.
And close the door.
Ewa, I've told you many times
not to call me at the office.
You know that people gossip.
I don't want them to start rumors.

- [Jacek] Well, that's Hold on.
- [Maryla] Hey! What are you doing?
- What are you doing? What's going on?
Will you come quietly
or make this difficult?
[Jacek] I have a meeting
with a client in half an hour.
[Jass inhales]
Where would you meet?
[indistinct hallway chatter]
This information can't leave this room.
[phones ringing]
[Mika sighing]
Talk.
Usually at the hotel.
But also
[Mika sighs]
occasionally at her place.
[Mika exhales]
One time, the boy came home early
and recorded us on a cassette.
He threatened to tell my wife.
I panicked and gave him
a few hundred bucks to keep him quiet.
[muffled traffic noise]
But,
I've been paying him to keep
his mouth shut. I didn't hurt him.
And where were you the night he died?
- [Jacek] At Oaza working.
- Till what time?
Mm. Around 10:00 p.m.
[Jass] And after that?
[Jacek sighs]
- Where were you?
- With her at the hotel.
You know we can verify that.
I swear I was with her at the hotel.
[muffled ringing]
[rock plays on radio]
[Jarek] I told you your boss
was out of reach.
[receiver hangs up]
[guard sighs]
Got a warrant?
[chuckles] You've been watching
too many fucking movies.
- [guard rasps]
- Give me the tape.
- Thirteenth, right?
- [Jarek] Yes.
[male vocalist singing in Polish]
Well, you're lucky
'cause they're overdubbed monthly.
Sign to confirm police confiscation.

Ewa Gwitt,
ID number ES65409.
Check in time 9:53 p.m.
How about Jacek Dobrowolski?
[elevator chimes]
- I'm sorry, I have no record of him.
- [owner] Hello.
- [Jass] Hello.
- I'm the manager of this establishment.
Sergeant Anna Jass.
[owner] I know who you are.
I know every guest that stays at my hotel.
Hi, Mika.
[indistinct chatter]
This is the tape you requested.
July 13th. That's correct, right?
To be returned, of course.
We try really hard to protect the privacy
of all our guests.
Thank you.
I've read in The Courier, though
Here you go now.
that the boy's case
has already been resolved.
Who said this was about the case
of that boy?
[Mika inhales]
Yeah.
[keys jingling]
[owner] What will happen
to your reward, now, Mika?
[elevator chimes]
You're gonna get a reward
for Raptor? I can't believe it.
He confessed.
And as for Dobrowolski, you're
[stutters] mining for gold
in a mound of shit.
[traffic noise]
[VCR motor whirring]
[Jass] Pause.
[clicking]
10:07 p.m. How long does it take
to drive to the hotel?
At night? Five to ten minutes.
Now play the hotel tape.
[VCR ejecting]
[tapes clacking]
[phones ringing]
[tape inserted]
[clicking, humming]
[Jass] Fast-forward.
[motor whirring]
- [Jass] Pause.
- [clicking]
A little further.
[motor whirring]
[Jass] A bit more.
- [clicking]
- [Jarek] There he is.
[VCR whirs, clicks]
10:16 p.m.
Yeah. Everything seems okay.
The guy's clean.
- [Jass] Supposedly.
- Not supposedly.
End of story. The culprit's in jail.
- [officer] Where's Jass?
- [Mika sighs]
- [Jass] What's up?
- You have a client.
I'm busy now.
I can handle it.
He says he'll only talk to her.
[indistinct hallway chatter]
- Fuck. Some old prick again.
- [gate buzzing]
[gate opening]
[indistinct conversation]
[Jass] Come up please.
This way.
I want to report a missing person.
[Jass] Take a seat.
[chair rolling]
- A relative of yours?
- [Wanycz] No, a friend.
- Last name?
- Drewicz.
[Wanycz sighs]
Kazimierz.
- That journalist?
- [Wanycz] Yes.
Go ahead.
[Wanycz] Mm.
I've heard you're not from around here.
Does it matter?
[Wanycz coughs]
It matters a lot.
Do you know what he was looking into
in the flood bank in Gronty?
[muffled traffic noise]
[caster wheels rolling]
[Wanycz] He was over there two nights ago.
- How do you know all of this?
- 'Cause I ran into him there.
- Why were you there?
- [Wanycz] Doesn't really matter.
It does to me.
Let's just say that I'm interested
in the washed-up cemetery.
I met Drewicz by accident.
I do know, after Gronty,
he went to the Hotel Centrum,
where he met with a man
who was former military.
- Do you know his name?
- [Wanycz] No.
[Wanycz] All I know is
he used to serve in Legnica.
And so, Drewicz left first.
Moments later,
three men dragged him off the street
into a white car.
- Make of car?
- A van, a big one.
With a sliding side door.
How is it you know all of this?
[Wanycz chuckles]
I'm a journalist,
and, like you,
I have sources that I protect.
[school bell ringing]
[indistinct chatter]
[horn honking]
- [Wanda] Bye.
- [friend] Bye.
See ya.
What are you doing here?
[Piotr] Well, I thought it would be cool
if we spend time together.
[birds chirping]
[Piotr] Aww!
Okay then.
We'll go wherever you want, and
and you'll listen
to your old man preaching a bit.
[Wanda sighs]
Awesome.
[Piotr chuckles]
[shifting]
[engine revving]
So, what do you want to do?
[pop music plays]
If I were a man just for one day
I would probably be Superman ♪
[Piotr] Listen.
I know this sounds weird from me
[Piotr inhales]
but smoking really is bad for you.
I just wanted to try it once.
[Piotr] I know. I understand.
You need to try things in life.
But, sweetie, smoking is shit.
[indistinct chatter]
[Wanda laughs]
- I understand, Dad.
- [Piotr sighs]
Okay then.
[Piotr chuckles]
Why do you guys keep fighting like that?
[Piotr sighing]
Well, you know
[Piotr clears throat]
Uh, that's what adults do.
Um your mother and I, we sometimes try
Yeah, but you don't do it sometimes.
It's often.
[silverware clanks]
[Piotr inhales, sighs]
[Piotr sighing]
[sighing] Listen.
You know we used to live here
before, right?
Yeah, I do. When Mom was pregnant with me.
[Piotr sighs]
Yeah.
Well, when Mom was pregnant
[Piotr sighs]
I did something really dumb.
You had an affair with a woman
that worked in the courthouse.
- How do you know that?
- Our walls are pretty thin.
[Piotr sighs]
[Piotr inhales deeply, sighing]
[clears throat] Okay, now you can tell me.
Was there any kissing involved?
[laughs] There wasn't!
[Piotr laughs]
- Yeah, right! Who are you trying to fool?
- There was no kissing!
- [melodic music plays]
- [Wanda laughs]
- Oh, come on now.
- Nothing happened.
- Nothing happened?
- Yeah, nothing happened.
- Lay off, Dad.
- Yeah. I know how things go.
- Yeah, well
- Okay.
[music swells]
[Piotr laughs]
[insects chirping]
[somber instrumental music plays]
[footsteps approaching]
[Teresa sighs]
- [Piotr] She's asleep?
- She is.
But it took her a long time
to fall asleep.
Why did you tell her?
[Piotr lip-smacks]
I thought that
I think it's important for her
to know the truth.
But she's only 13.
Why does she need to know all this?
[Piotr] Look, she already knows
and understands everything anyway.
Did you think to ask what I thought?
[Piotr sighing]
[Piotr breathes deeply]
[kissing]
[dog barking outside]
[kissing]
[Piotr panting]
[Teresa sighs]
[Piotr] Mmm.
[Piotr kisses, gasps]
Jesus! Why are you doing this to me again?
[Piotr sighs]
Do you even feel anything for me?
Have you seen her?
Please tell me.
[Piotr snorts]
Yes.
At the cemetery.
She's been dead for 12 years.
[Piotr] Good night.
[Teresa sighs]
[siren wailing]
[Jass] All I know is it was a white van.
Between 10 and 11 p.m. on Fałata Street.
[indistinct hallway chatter]
Call me if you learn anything.
You're the only one missing.
[muffled tapping, microphone feedback]
- I'm not in the mood for dancing, babe.
- [Jarek] I'm not either.
But Mika said he won't start without you.
[Jass inhales deeply, sighing]
[chief] There are moments being
the police chief that are a true pleasure.
One of these moments
is handing out rewards,
especially to officers
like Sergeant First Class Adam Mika.
He's been on the force with us
for many years
and is professional
and dedicated to society.
[chief] A nice and loyal friend
who always has something nice to
- [chief mimics stuttering]
- [precinct laughs]
[chief laughs]
say.
[chief and precinct laughing]
[chief] Adam.
In recognition of your merits,
and to commend you
on solving your last case,
I would like to present you
with this certificate,
and
a financial reward
[oohs and ahhs]
in the amount of
[male officer] How much?
1,000 zlotys!
- [cheering]
- [chief] Congratulations!
[officer] Bravo!
Please, stand up.
[applause dies down]
[microphone feedback]
[Mika gasping]
Thank you, Chief,
and
thank you, my colleagues.
Well, sometimes this job
[Mika stutters]
makes sense.
- [Mika exhales]
- Just don't spend it all on booze.
[all laughing]
I'm buying a new washing machine with it.
- Krysia, my wife, will really like that.
- [all] Aww!
[chief laughs]
Now let's have a toast. Let's drink
to Sergeant First Class Adam Mika.
Bravo!
[cheering]
[glasses clinking]
[indistinct chatter, laughter]
[Jarek] Hey, sergeant! Sergeant!
[Jarek laughs]
Hey! Where Where are you going?
Let's drink.
Hey, we helped him a bit, after all.
[festive music plays over speakers]
[indistinct chatter, laughter]
[Jarek] Look. I owe him everything.
He's a great man,
and one of the best on the force,
or we used to think.
I I'll be back in a moment.
[Mika] May I join you?
[Mika sighs]
Now the
Will you drink to success with me?
[pouring]
- To your success.
- Our success.
You played a big part in it.
[Mika] Cheers.
[laughter]
- Why can't you let it go?
- You know why.
[Mika sighs]
But he confessed.
- We know that he raped children.
- Doesn't change him not killing Daniel.
- Oh, here we go again
- Let me finish.
Raptor didn't kill Daniel,
and you know it.
Now buy your wife a washing machine,
fuck off, and retire early,
because you're a shitty cop.
Fuck you, Gypsy
[Mika stutters]

Hello.
[Teresa] Um, am I calling too late?
No.
[Teresa] Where are you?
At the station.
[Teresa] Be outside in ten minutes.
[hang up]
[indistinct chatter, laughter]
[cars drive]
Hi.
[Jass] Hi.
A bad day?
The worst.
Same here.
[distant car alarm blaring]
What are you doing here?
[melodic instrumental music plays]
There's something I've wanted to try,
but I've never had the chance.
[insects chirp]
[owl hoots]
[gunshot rings]
[birds squawking]
Very nice.
[both chuckling]
Keep the gun at eye level.
Arms straight, but keep them relaxed.
- Yes, yes, yes, don't tense up. Again.
- [Teresa breathes]
[shot rings out]
[Teresa laughs]
Aren't you held accountable
for each bullet?
[laughs] Don't worry,
I'll think of something.
Align the front sight with the back sight,
and gently squeeze the trigger.
- [shot rings]
- [glass shatters]
- Bravo!
- [Teresa laughs]
[Jass] The gun! The gun, the gun!
Wait! Wait

- [Teresa sighs]
- [beer sloshes]
[Teresa] I really missed that.
[Jass] Sex?
[Teresa laughs]
Sex with a woman.
[Jass chuckles]
So I'm not your first?
[Teresa laughs]
[rain patters]
I was with somebody in college.
It was a long time ago.
Everything I know about my body,
I know from her.
Why did you break up?
[Teresa sighs]
Kraków is not Berlin.
[rain pattering]
[Teresa inhaling]
I thought my relationship with her
was wrong and not appropriate.
And then I got pregnant
and we got engaged.
- Do you regret it?
- [Teresa] No.
I have the most beautiful child.
Can you believe I was with a guy, too?
- [Teresa] What was he like?
- He was sweet.
- [Teresa laughing]
- [Jass] What?
- Come on, he was really sweet.
- [Teresa] Oh.
[Jass sighs]
Yet somehow I never experienced
an orgasm with him.
[Teresa] Mm. I know what you mean.
[Teresa laughs]
Ah, well, now that you have
such a big home you can sleep alone, no?
I'd rather live in a one-bedroom flat
in Azory in Kraków
than in this luxurious shithole.
- Weren't you afraid of getting flooded?
- [Teresa] I was praying we'd get flooded.
But the owner of the estate
assured everyone that it's not possible.
- And you took his word for it?
- [Teresa] He showed us some surveys.
- Hmm. Surveys?
- [Teresa] Shh
Remember what I told you
about the forest?
That it's the source of all evil?
[Teresa sighs]
And here it is.
You should take a good look at it.
Listen to what it says.
[eerie music plays]
[Jass speaks in Romani]
In the dark of night,
the devil roams the forest paths.
What language is that?
[Jass] Shh

[in Russian] Who is it?
[in Russian] A loiterer. Get the major.
Why me?
It's my turn to fuck.
Soldier!
Get the major! It's an order!
Yes, Commander!
[soldiers speak Russian]
[soldiers ooh and ahh]
[in Russian] She works really hard
for her food.
[soldiers laugh]
Fuck while you still can.
[soldier laughs]
Tomorrow there will be war.
Who's that?
Who knows.
[soldier sniffs]
One of the bandits, perhaps.
Had food on him.
[both mumbling in Russian]
[soldier grunting]
[in English] You're a forest bandit
yourself.
[soldiers laugh, chat indistinctly]
[soldier] Fuck, Wanycz.
[soldier grunting, panting]

Get me another one!

He's still behind us!
[cartoon villain] Good!
There you go, honey.
[wife] Maciuś, dig in. Come on.
[utensils clinking]
[door bell rings]
- [wife] Who could that be this early?
- Don't know.
Will you get it?
[muffled car alarm blaring]
[wife sighs]
Good morning. Sergeant Anna Jass.
I'm here to see your husband.
You know what? We're having breakfast now.
It's quite urgent.
There's been a break-in at the estate.
Okay. If it's urgent,
I'll get my husband. Oh.
The sergeant wanted to talk.
There was a break-in on the estate.
- Morning. Last night?
- [Jass] Morning.
Yes. Uh, Mrs. Gwitt's.
[birds chirping]
- Should we talk in my office, then?
- [Jass] Sure.
- Would you care for some coffee?
- [Jass] That'd be great.
I've told you everything already!
I'm no stranger in this town. I'm calling
the chief to tell him you're harassing me.
Listen to me carefully, because honestly
you're up to your ears in shit.
[Jacek grunts]
[Jass inhales]
Why didn't you evacuate the estate
when the flood was coming?
Experts said it'd be fine.
The survey said the water wouldn't reach.
- Oh, yeah? Show me, then.
- Mm-hm.
- I don't have them. They're in my office.
- Let's go there now.
[Jacek] I have to drive my kids
to kindergarten, and then I
Listen to me, you clown.
[Jass sighs]
I know that you don't have any surveys.
The estate was built on a flood plain.
If the flood reached it,
you'd be able to open a water park
here in Oaza.
[Jacek sighs]
[sprinklers spray outside]
[Jass] You knew
about the flood bank bursting.
You either tell me everything
or I'll tell your wife
about "Ewa the little slut."
[Jacek inhales]
[Jass] I just hope she won't tell that
to her dad,
or you'll have to go back
into the hole you crawled out of.
You won't do it.
Okay. I knew about the flood bank.
- Who did it?
- [Jacek] I don't know.
- You'll be charged with the boy's murder.
- But I didn't do anything to him.
You are the only suspect
with a perfect motive.
But it wasn't me!
- [wife] I brought you coffee.
- Not now!
[door shutting]
[Jacek sighing]
It
was a former militia explosive expert.
What's his name?
[Jacek] I don't know.
But I know he served in Legnica
and he called himself the Lizard.
[Jass breathes deeply]
And one more thing.
Tell your wife she looks pretty.
And be a bit nicer to her
so she doesn't learn what a prick you are.
[footsteps departing]
[Jacek breathes deeply]
[Jacek sighs]
[moody instrumental music plays]
[Jacek sighs]
- [Piotr] Hey! Hey, sergeant!
- Hello.
As for Kielak's abduction,
I've got nothing yet.
Things became complicated.
[Piotr panting]
That's not why I'm here, actually.
Yes?
[siren wailing]
[Piotr gasping]
I'm worried about one of my journalists.
You mean Drewicz?
- How do you know?
- Someone reported him missing.
- What? Who was it?
- His friend.
- What friend was that?
- I'm sorry, I can't disclose that info.
- Well, what exactly became complicated?
- Excuse me?
That's what you said
when we were talking.
[helicopter noise]
I'll reach out when I have something.
[Piotr breathing heavily]
[grunting]
[Piotr sighs]
[indistinct chatter]
[fizzing]
[footsteps]
Is Małecki here?
Sure. He's been working
since the crack of dawn.
- Call him.
- He's probably half-dead now.
I want him here in 20 minutes.
[buzzing]
[officer sighs]
[dialing]
[Jarek] You're lucky they gave me
the HR documents for drying.
Otherwise, you'd have to push through
official channels, through the chief.
Check this one for me.
- [Jarek sighs]
- One, one, two, eight.
[Jarek breathes heavily]
Eleven-twenty-eight. Eleven-twenty-eight.
Eleven-twenty-eight. Eleven-twenty-eight.
Eleven-twenty-eight.
One, one, two, eight.
[Jarek gasping]
I got it.
Uh, Krzysztof Jaszczerski,
son of Eugeniusz and Zofia, born in 1947
So where did he work?
[Jarek] Mm. Mmm.
Militia until 1989.
Between 1976 and 1980, a soldier
of the second sapper regiment in Legnica.
[Jass] Where does he live?
- M 4 Makolągwy street.
- What?
- 4 Makolągwy Street.
- In this town?
[Jarek] Where else
would they name a street like that?
- Get your gun and let's go.
- What? I'm totally on my day off, though!
[Jass] Take your gun
and cut the bullshit, babe.
[Jarek flaps his lips]
[construction noise]
[indistinct chatter]
[dialing]
[Jarek yawning]
Hi, Mom. Home late.
I'm on a call. Buy some bread.
[hangs up]
It's free for the first three seconds.
[hammering]
[birds chirping]
We've been sitting here for two hours.
How do you know
that he'll show up at all?
I don't feel like explaining, but,
generally, I get my intel from up there.
I don't believe in that bogus stuff.
Just hard evidence.
[cars passing]
Where did you get this from, anyway?
The whole star thing?
My grandma on my mom's side was a Gypsy.
Hm.
She was a real expert.
After my high school exams, I was sure
I would study physics and astronomy.
[Jarek] And?
Never accepted.
That him?
[suspenseful instrumental music plays]
Mm-hm.
I guess so.
[music builds]

[Jass starts her car]

[Piotr sighs]
You reported Drewicz missing
the other day, didn't you?
[dog barks outside]
[Piotr chuckles]
[Piotr clears throat]
[Piotr] Okay.
Tell me what happened to him.
[Wanycz] You were right.
He started snooping around
the flood bank case.
Someone was mad
and decided to shut him up.
What? What happened? Is he still alive?
He was kidnapped outside the hotel.
[Piotr sighing]
Why didn't you tell me that, huh?
I've been running around town
like a fucking dog.
- Why are you treating me like this?
- I know you too well.
I know that sooner or later
you'll get knee-deep into this shit.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, you will.
[Piotr laughs]
- I've heard that one before.
- Didn't help much, though.
The typewriter, huh?
You've been writing.
[Piotr laughs]
As long as I've known you
you've always been hiding something.
I can see how tired you are of all this.
[Piotr sighs]
How it eats you up inside.
I wouldn't be able to stand it
if I were you.
[Piotr breathes deeply]
Listen, I'd like to
[Piotr sighs]
[Piotr] Thank you for deciding to write.

Do you know this forest?
Yeah, I used to play
in the forest as a kid,
despite my mother forbidding it.
Are there any buildings out there?
There's an abandoned swimming pool
nearby.
Commies used to party there.
[removing keys]
[birds chirping]
Why did your mother forbid you
to come here?
[Jarek sighs]
She keeps saying the forest is evil.
It's true. When I was in primary school,
some couple used to hang around here.
One day they committed suicide.
So that's your hard evidence?
[Jarek snorts]
[Jarek] Over here.

[Jass] Hello there!
Please, don't let me spoil your fun.
I just wanted to ask about Mr. Drewicz.
And who are you?
I heard you two met three days ago
at Hotel Centrum.
- Maybe. What about it?
- I don't know.
Maybe he decided to explore
the nearby forests with you.
[Jass] Want to talk here
or at the station?
I don't know
what you're talking about,
but I'll gladly drop by
the police station, though.
I got a lot of friends there.

[Piotr] Excuse me! Excuse me!
Can you tell me where
the intensive care unit is?
[Piotr] Okay, thank you.
[siren wailing]
[door banging]
[indistinct chatter]
Here to see Drewicz.
- Go in.
- Okay, thanks.
[Piotr] How're you feeling?
[Drewicz] Like shit.
[Piotr chuckles]
Consider it
an unexpected AA extended stay.
[Drewicz winces]
Very funny.
[Piotr chuckles]
How did they find me?
[Piotr] Thanks to Wanycz.
If it wasn't for him,
you'd still be down there.
I'll send him flowers.
Aren't you a peach.
You guys do deserve each other.
You want me to tell somebody
that you're here?
[Drewicz sighs]
No.
[Drewicz exhales]
Go to the hotel.
Look for the photo
of the New Year's party last year.
Remember, when you contact the police,
speak only to Jass.
You hear me? No one else.
- Your ID.
- Oh, thank you.
- Is he okay?
- Yes, I think so.
- I'm his daughter.
- Come in.
Everything okay?
[Joanna sobs]
[Piotr] Hey
[Joanna sniffles]
[Piotr] Everything's fine, okay?
[melodic instrumental music plays]
[Joanna breathes heavily]
Everything's fine.
[Piotr exhales]
Yeah.
[Joanna sniffling]
[Joanna exhales]
[siren wailing]
Can someone please tell me
what the fuck is going on here?
Jass caught a guy
suspected of blowing up the flood bank.
- Are you fucking obsessed with that?
- We're We're getting more clues now.
Oh, yeah? And since when have you become
so meticulous?
A man is dead, shot by an officer
who wouldn't even hurt a fly.
He'll end up in therapy
because some cunt,
a fucking sergeant from Warsaw,
lost her ammo.
- What the hell is going on around here?
- I I
- [Mika] I
- [mocking] I I I
You have a fucking Lizard, a Raptor.
Are you opening Jurassic Park?
Andrzej, you need to relax.
Oh, fuck off!
Let me listen in.
[Jass] Jaszczerski, tell me,
why did you kidnap Mr. Drewicz?
You know why.
I want to hear it from your mouth.
'Cause he was snooping the flood banks.
[Jass] What were you doing there?
Sergeant, you know full well
it was me who blew it up.
Anyway, it was so old that, with a bit
of luck, it would've burst by itself.
Who ordered you to do it?
[Jaszczerski laughs]
But you know that too.
[Jaszczerski] Dobrowolski,
the chairman of Oaza.
Did you know the explosion
caused the death of a boy?
- I heard some bum killed him.
- [Jass] Hm.
[laughs] Sure.
Or maybe died
because he didn't run away in time?
[Jass] Or maybe he ran into you
at a bad moment, huh?
- What's she blabbering about?
- [Jass] Listen.
For blowing up the flood bank and
kidnapping you'll get a max of ten years.
On the other hand, the murder of a minor
I had nothing to do with that boy's death.
[cassette deck turning]
[clicking]
You're fucked, man.
Sergeant, hold on.
Come closer.
[eerie instrumental music plays]
Closer.
[Andrzeg] What is she doing?
You should stop this.
He might bite her ear off.
Fucking stop this! Stop Stop her!
Mika, go get her.
[music building]
[Andrzeg sighs]
W What did he tell you?
Why do you even care?
You took it up your ass
for a washing machine.
Good. Glad
you're okay.
F-f-f fuck off.

[engine shuts off]
Is that the boy?
Yeah. He's being transferred home now.
- He isn't going anywhere. Please leave.
- Wait a moment.
- What are you doing?
- I'm keeping the body.
How come? We have permission to bury him.
Hold on.
What is this about?
[Jass] I have to keep him here.
We have new evidence.
His body deserves to rest in peace.
That boy there
deserves the truth to be known.
Gentlemen, let's go.
Krystian, to the car!
[footsteps departing]
- What the fuck are you doing?
- You have to check the water in his lungs.
- [coroner] What for?
- He was already dead when the dike burst.

It's a house rental agreement
with the Oaza estate.
What's so unusual about it?
[inhaling] It's a great place to live.
But she's just a worker at City Hall.
Where would she get that type of money?
[muffled ringing]
[Maryla] Hello. Oaza estate here.
Good morning, this is Ewa Gwitt.
I'm calling in regards
to renting a house there.
[Maryla] Which one?
[Jass] Number 18.
I'd like to arrange a meeting
to sign the contract.
Just a moment.
[muffled construction noise]
I have some lady on the line.
She wants to sign the contract
for renting housing unit 18.
- What lady is this?
- Some Ewa Gwitt.
Here. I'll take care of it.
And close the door.
Ewa, I've told you many times
not to call me at the office.
You know that people gossip.

[Jass inhales]
Where would you meet?
[indistinct hallway chatter]
This information can't leave this room.
[phones ringing]
[Mika sighing]
Talk.
Usually at the hotel.
But also
[Mika sighs]
occasionally at her place.
[Mika exhales]
One time, the boy came home early
and recorded us on a cassette.
He threatened to tell my wife.
I panicked and gave him
a few hundred bucks to keep him quiet.
[muffled traffic noise]
But,
I've been paying him to keep
his mouth shut. I didn't hurt him.
And where were you the night he died?
- [Jacek] At Oaza working.
- Till what time?
Mm. Around 10:00 p.m.
[Jass] And after that?
[Jacek sighs]
- Where were you?
- With her at the hotel.
You know we can verify that.
I swear I was with her at the hotel.

- [owner] Hello.
- [Jass] Hello.
- I'm the manager of this establishment.
Sergeant Anna Jass.
[owner] I know who you are.
I know every guest that stays at my hotel.
Hi, Mika.
[indistinct chatter]
This is the tape you requested.
July 13th. That's correct, right?
To be returned, of course.
We try really hard to protect the privacy
of all our guests.
Thank you.
I've read in The Courier, though
Here you go now.
that the boy's case
has already been resolved.
Who said this was about the case
of that boy?
[Mika inhales]
Yeah.
[keys jingling]
[owner] What will happen
to your reward, now, Mika?
[elevator chimes]
You're gonna get a reward
for Raptor? I can't believe it.
He confessed.
And as for Dobrowolski, you're

Yeah. Everything seems okay.
The guy's clean.
- [Jass] Supposedly.
- Not supposedly.
End of story. The culprit's in jail.
- [officer] Where's Jass?
- [Mika sighs]
- [Jass] What's up?
- You have a client.
I'm busy now.
I can handle it.
He says he'll only talk to her.
[indistinct hallway chatter]
- Fuck. Some old prick again.
- [gate buzzing]
[gate opening]
[indistinct conversation]
[Jass] Come up please.
This way.
I want to report a missing person.
[Jass] Take a seat.
[chair rolling]
- A relative of yours?
- [Wanycz] No, a friend.
- Last name?
- Drewicz.
[Wanycz sighs]
Kazimierz.
- That journalist?
- [Wanycz] Yes.
Go ahead.
[Wanycz] Mm.
I've heard you're not from around here.
Does it matter?
[Wanycz coughs]
It matters a lot.
Do you know what he was looking into
in the flood bank in Gronty?
[muffled traffic noise]
[caster wheels rolling]
[Wanycz] He was over there two nights ago.
- How do you know all of this?
- 'Cause I ran into him there.
- Why were you there?
- [Wanycz] Doesn't really matter.
It does to me.
Let's just say that I'm interested
in the washed-up cemetery.
I met Drewicz by accident.
I do know, after Gronty,
he went to the Hotel Centrum,
where he met with a man
who was former military.
- Do you know his name?
- [Wanycz] No.
[Wanycz] All I know is
he used to serve in Legnica.
And so, Drewicz left first.
Moments later,
three men dragged him off the street
into a white car.
- Make of car?
- A van, a big one.
With a sliding side door.
How is it you know all of this?
[Wanycz chuckles]
I'm a journalist,
and, like you,
I have sources that I protect.
[school bell ringing]
[indistinct chatter]
[horn honking]
- [Wanda] Bye.
- [friend] Bye.
See ya.
What are you doing here?
[Piotr] Well, I thought it would be cool
if we spend time together.
[birds chirping]
[Piotr] Aww!
Okay then.
We'll go wherever you want, and
and you'll listen
to your old man preaching a bit.
[Wanda sighs]
Awesome.
[Piotr chuckles]
[shifting]
[engine revving]
So, what do you want to do?
[pop music plays]
If I were a man just for one day
I would probably be Superman ♪
[Piotr] Listen.
I know this sounds weird from me
[Piotr inhales]
but smoking really is bad for you.
I just wanted to try it once.
[Piotr] I know. I understand.
You need to try things in life.
But, sweetie, smoking is shit.
[indistinct chatter]
[Wanda laughs]
- I understand, Dad.
- [Piotr sighs]
Okay then.
[Piotr chuckles]
Why do you guys keep fighting like that?
[Piotr sighing]
Well, you know
[Piotr clears throat]
Uh, that's what adults do.
Um your mother and I, we sometimes try
Yeah, but you don't do it sometimes.
It's often.
[silverware clanks]
[Piotr inhales, sighs]
[Piotr sighing]
[sighing] Listen.
You know we used to live here
before, right?
Yeah, I do. When Mom was pregnant with me.
[Piotr sighs]
Yeah.
Well, when Mom was pregnant
[Piotr sighs]
I did something really dumb.
You had an affair with a woman
that worked in the courthouse.
- How do you know that?
- Our walls are pretty thin.
[Piotr sighs]
[Piotr inhales deeply, sighing]
[clears throat] Okay, now you can tell me.
Was there any kissing involved?
[laughs] There wasn't!
[Piotr laughs]
- Yeah, right! Who are you trying to fool?
- There was no kissing!
- [melodic music plays]
- [Wanda laughs]
- Oh, come on now.
- Nothing happened.
- Nothing happened?
- Yeah, nothing happened.
- Lay off, Dad.
- Yeah. I know how things go.
- Yeah, well
- Okay.
[music swells]
[Piotr laughs]
[insects chirping]
[somber instrumental music plays]
[footsteps approaching]
[Teresa sighs]
- [Piotr] She's asleep?
- She is.
But it took her a long time
to fall asleep.
Why did you tell her?
[Piotr lip-smacks]
I thought that
I think it's important for her
to know the truth.
But she's only 13.
Why does she need to know all this?
[Piotr] Look, she already knows
and understands everything anyway.
Did you think to ask what I thought?
[Piotr sighing]
[Piotr breathes deeply]
[kissing]
[dog barking outside]
[kissing]
[Piotr panting]
[Teresa sighs]
[Piotr] Mmm.
[Piotr kisses, gasps]
Jesus! Why are you doing this to me again?
[Piotr sighs]
Do you even feel anything for me?
Have you seen her?
Please tell me.
[Piotr snorts]
Yes.
At the cemetery.
She's been dead for 12 years.
[Piotr] Good night.
[Teresa sighs]
[siren wailing]
[Jass] All I know is it was a white van.
Between 10 and 11 p.m. on Fałata Street.
[indistinct hallway chatter]
Call me if you learn anything.
You're the only one missing.
[muffled tapping, microphone feedback]
- I'm not in the mood for dancing, babe.
- [Jarek] I'm not either.
But Mika said he won't start without you.
[Jass inhales deeply, sighing]
[chief] There are moments being
the police chief that are a true pleasure.
One of these moments
is handing out rewards,
especially to officers
like Sergeant First Class Adam Mika.
He's been on the force with us
for many years
and is professional
and dedicated to society.
[chief] A nice and loyal friend
who always has something nice to

- [precinct laughs]
[chief laughs]
say.
[chief and precinct laughing]
[chief] Adam.
In recognition of your merits,
and to commend you
on solving your last case,
I would like to present you
with this certificate,
and
a financial reward
[oohs and ahhs]
in the amount of

Well, sometimes this job
[Mika stutters]
makes sense.
- [Mika exhales]
- Just don't spend it all on booze.
[all laughing]
I'm buying a new washing machine with it.
- Krysia, my wife, will really like that.
- [all] Aww!

Now let's have a toast. Let's drink
to Sergeant First Class Adam Mika.
Bravo!

[Jarek] Hey, sergeant! Sergeant!
[Jarek laughs]
Hey! Where Where are you going?
Let's drink.
Hey, we helped him a bit, after all.
[festive music plays over speakers]
[indistinct chatter, laughter]
[Jarek] Look. I owe him everything.
He's a great man,
and one of the best on the force,
or we used to think.
I I'll be back in a moment.
[Mika] May I join you?
[Mika sighs]
Now the
Will you drink to success with me?
[pouring]
- To your success.
- Our success.
You played a big part in it.
[Mika] Cheers.
[laughter]
- Why can't you let it go?
- You know why.
[Mika sighs]
But he confessed.
- We know that he raped children.
- Doesn't change him not killing Daniel.
- Oh, here we go again
- Let me finish.
Raptor didn't kill Daniel,
and you know it.
Now buy your wife a washing machine,
fuck off, and retire early,
because you're a shitty cop.
Fuck you, Gypsy

A bad day?
The worst.

So I'm not your first?
[Teresa laughs]
[rain patters]
I was with somebody in college.
It was a long time ago.
Everything I know about my body,
I know from her.
Why did you break up?
[Teresa sighs]
Kraków is not Berlin.
[rain pattering]
[Teresa inhaling]
I thought my relationship with her
was wrong and not appropriate.
And then I got pregnant
and we got engaged.
- Do you regret it?
- [Teresa] No.
I have the most beautiful child.
Can you believe I was with a guy, too?
- [Teresa] What was he like?
- He was sweet.
- [Teresa laughing]
- [Jass] What?
- Come on, he was really sweet.
- [Teresa] Oh.
[Jass sighs]
Yet somehow I never experienced
an orgasm with him.
[Teresa] Mm. I know what you mean.
[Teresa laughs]
Ah, well, now that you have
such a big home you can sleep alone, no?
I'd rather live in a one-bedroom flat
in Azory in Kraków
than in this luxurious shithole.
- Weren't you afraid of getting flooded?
- [Teresa] I was praying we'd get flooded.
But the owner of the estate
assured everyone that it's not possible.
- And you took his word for it?
- [Teresa] He showed us some surveys.
- Hmm. Surveys?
- [Teresa] Shh
Remember what I told you
about the forest?
That it's the source of all evil?
[Teresa sighs]
And here it is.
You should take a good look at it.
Listen to what it says.

Will you get it?
[muffled car alarm blaring]
[wife sighs]
Good morning. Sergeant Anna Jass.
I'm here to see your husband.
You know what? We're having breakfast now.
It's quite urgent.
There's been a break-in at the estate.
Okay. If it's urgent,
I'll get my husband. Oh.
The sergeant wanted to talk.
There was a break-in on the estate.
- Morning. Last night?
- [Jass] Morning.
Yes. Uh, Mrs. Gwitt's.
[birds chirping]
- Should we talk in my office, then?
- [Jass] Sure.
- Would you care for some coffee?
- [Jass] That'd be great.
I've told you everything already!
I'm no stranger in this town. I'm calling
the chief to tell him you're harassing me.
Listen to me carefully, because honestly
you're up to your ears in shit.
[Jacek grunts]
[Jass inhales]
Why didn't you evacuate the estate
when the flood was coming?
Experts said it'd be fine.
The survey said the water wouldn't reach.
- Oh, yeah? Show me, then.
- Mm-hm.
- I don't have them. They're in my office.
- Let's go there now.
[Jacek] I have to drive my kids
to kindergarten, and then I
Listen to me, you clown.
[Jass sighs]
I know that you don't have any surveys.
The estate was built on a flood plain.
If the flood reached it,
you'd be able to open a water park
here in Oaza.
[Jacek sighs]
[sprinklers spray outside]
[Jass] You knew
about the flood bank bursting.
You either tell me everything
or I'll tell your wife
about "Ewa the little slut."
[Jacek inhales]
[Jass] I just hope she won't tell that
to her dad,
or you'll have to go back
into the hole you crawled out of.
You won't do it.
Okay. I knew about the flood bank.
- Who did it?
- [Jacek] I don't know.
- You'll be charged with the boy's murder.
- But I didn't do anything to him.
You are the only suspect
with a perfect motive.
But it wasn't me!
- [wife] I brought you coffee.
- Not now!
[door shutting]
[Jacek sighing]
It
was a former militia explosive expert.
What's his name?
[Jacek] I don't know.
But I know he served in Legnica
and he called himself the Lizard.
[Jass breathes deeply]
And one more thing.
Tell your wife she looks pretty.
And be a bit nicer to her
so she doesn't learn what a prick you are.

- Hello.
As for Kielak's abduction,
I've got nothing yet.
Things became complicated.
[Piotr panting]
That's not why I'm here, actually.
Yes?
[siren wailing]
[Piotr gasping]
I'm worried about one of my journalists.
You mean Drewicz?
- How do you know?
- Someone reported him missing.
- What? Who was it?
- His friend.
- What friend was that?
- I'm sorry, I can't disclose that info.
- Well, what exactly became complicated?
- Excuse me?
That's what you said
when we were talking.

[Jarek gasping]
I got it.
Uh, Krzysztof Jaszczerski,
son of Eugeniusz and Zofia, born in 1947
So where did he work?
[Jarek] Mm. Mmm.
Militia until 1989.
Between 1976 and 1980, a soldier
of the second sapper regiment in Legnica.
[Jass] Where does he live?
- M 4 Makolągwy street.
- What?
- 4 Makolągwy Street.
- In this town?
[Jarek] Where else
would they name a street like that?
- Get your gun and let's go.
- What? I'm totally on my day off, though!
[Jass] Take your gun
and cut the bullshit, babe.

I'm on a call. Buy some bread.
[hangs up]
It's free for the first three seconds.
[hammering]
[birds chirping]
We've been sitting here for two hours.
How do you know
that he'll show up at all?
I don't feel like explaining, but,
generally, I get my intel from up there.
I don't believe in that bogus stuff.
Just hard evidence.
[cars passing]
Where did you get this from, anyway?
The whole star thing?
My grandma on my mom's side was a Gypsy.
Hm.
She was a real expert.
After my high school exams, I was sure
I would study physics and astronomy.
[Jarek] And?
Never accepted.
That him?

Mm-hm.
I guess so.

the other day, didn't you?
[dog barks outside]
[Piotr chuckles]
[Piotr clears throat]
[Piotr] Okay.
Tell me what happened to him.
[Wanycz] You were right.
He started snooping around
the flood bank case.
Someone was mad
and decided to shut him up.
What? What happened? Is he still alive?
He was kidnapped outside the hotel.
[Piotr sighing]
Why didn't you tell me that, huh?
I've been running around town
like a fucking dog.
- Why are you treating me like this?
- I know you too well.
I know that sooner or later
you'll get knee-deep into this shit.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, you will.
[Piotr laughs]
- I've heard that one before.
- Didn't help much, though.
The typewriter, huh?
You've been writing.
[Piotr laughs]
As long as I've known you
you've always been hiding something.
I can see how tired you are of all this.
[Piotr sighs]
How it eats you up inside.
I wouldn't be able to stand it
if I were you.
[Piotr breathes deeply]
Listen, I'd like to

Are there any buildings out there?
There's an abandoned swimming pool
nearby.
Commies used to party there.
[removing keys]
[birds chirping]
Why did your mother forbid you
to come here?
[Jarek sighs]
She keeps saying the forest is evil.
It's true. When I was in primary school,
some couple used to hang around here.
One day they committed suicide.
So that's your hard evidence?

And who are you?
I heard you two met three days ago
at Hotel Centrum.
- Maybe. What about it?
- I don't know.
Maybe he decided to explore
the nearby forests with you.
[Jass] Want to talk here
or at the station?
I don't know
what you're talking about,
but I'll gladly drop by
the police station, though.
I got a lot of friends there.

- Okay, thanks.
[Piotr] How're you feeling?
[Drewicz] Like shit.
[Piotr chuckles]
Consider it
an unexpected AA extended stay.
[Drewicz winces]
Very funny.
[Piotr chuckles]
How did they find me?
[Piotr] Thanks to Wanycz.
If it wasn't for him,
you'd still be down there.
I'll send him flowers.
Aren't you a peach.
You guys do deserve each other.
You want me to tell somebody
that you're here?
[Drewicz sighs]
No.
[Drewicz exhales]
Go to the hotel.
Look for the photo
of the New Year's party last year.
Remember, when you contact the police,
speak only to Jass.
You hear me? No one else.
- Your ID.
- Oh, thank you.
- Is he okay?
- Yes, I think so.
- I'm his daughter.
- Come in.
Everything okay?

Can someone please tell me
what the fuck is going on here?
Jass caught a guy
suspected of blowing up the flood bank.
- Are you fucking obsessed with that?
- We're We're getting more clues now.
Oh, yeah? And since when have you become
so meticulous?
A man is dead, shot by an officer
who wouldn't even hurt a fly.
He'll end up in therapy
because some cunt,
a fucking sergeant from Warsaw,
lost her ammo.
- What the hell is going on around here?
- I I
- [Mika] I
- [mocking] I I I
You have a fucking Lizard, a Raptor.
Are you opening Jurassic Park?
Andrzej, you need to relax.
Oh, fuck off!
Let me listen in.
[Jass] Jaszczerski, tell me,
why did you kidnap Mr. Drewicz?
You know why.
I want to hear it from your mouth.
'Cause he was snooping the flood banks.
[Jass] What were you doing there?
Sergeant, you know full well
it was me who blew it up.
Anyway, it was so old that, with a bit
of luck, it would've burst by itself.
Who ordered you to do it?
[Jaszczerski laughs]
But you know that too.
[Jaszczerski] Dobrowolski,
the chairman of Oaza.
Did you know the explosion
caused the death of a boy?
- I heard some bum killed him.
- [Jass] Hm.
[laughs] Sure.
Or maybe died
because he didn't run away in time?
[Jass] Or maybe he ran into you
at a bad moment, huh?
- What's she blabbering about?
- [Jass] Listen.
For blowing up the flood bank and
kidnapping you'll get a max of ten years.
On the other hand, the murder of a minor
I had nothing to do with that boy's death.
[cassette deck turning]

You're fucked, man.
Sergeant, hold on.
Come closer.

Fucking stop this! Stop Stop her!
Mika, go get her.

- What are you doing?
- I'm keeping the body.
How come? We have permission to bury him.
Hold on.
What is this about?
[Jass] I have to keep him here.
We have new evidence.
His body deserves to rest in peace.
That boy there
deserves the truth to be known.
Gentlemen, let's go.
Krystian, to the car!
