01x04 - What Lies Beneath

Post by bunniefuu »

We interrupt this program
and move to Kochanów.

Paweł, come here, please.

Look.

Workers at an old quarry
have discovered human bones.

The police are already working
on the scene.

Is that the pond where we used to swim?
At the camp?

victim of World w*r II.

Police are trying to determine
to whom the remains belong.

There were no items that could help
determine the deceased's identity.

Due to the significant degree
of bone decomposition,

right now it is difficult
to determine how old the remains are.

Police are not ruling out any theories.

This is a closed site.
I'll have to ask you to leave.

- Are the remains still here?
- Are you from the media?

The techs took them to the
medical examiner's office last night.

Then what are you still doing here?

The operation was planned till noon,
so we're here.

Any other questions, prosecutor?

Thank you.

It requires a high level of precision.

Have you ever tried to tell
a capitate bone from a hamate bone?

Do you really need to lay it out
like this, like blocks?

Yes, we do.

Because if something is missing or broken,

we might be able to determine
the cause of death.

Do you have DNA?

First, I'll finish segregating.

But...

I know the case,
and I know what you're suspecting.

Right now,
all I can say is that this person was...

a woman.

Guys, get over here!

- He's rested and ready to go.
- Great.

- Let's hope he finds something today.
- Yes, sir.

Inspector Kosiński,
take ten towards Okmiany, understood?

The rest will come with me and the dog.

Every trace counts, remember!

We need to find something!

Maintain radio silence
unless you find something.

Any questions?

- None.
- So let's go.

Search!

- Search!
- Spread out!

- Secure that.
- Give me an envelope.

Let's go.

Paweł!

Come here!

- And two bunches of radishes, please.
- Let me take that.

Maybe I'll make cold beet soup.
Kamila likes it.

Me, too.

You can make it for me.

Your change.

Take the bags and put them in the car.

Thank you.

Do you happen to listen to Seattle?

If you want to borrow a cassette,
I'm afraid mine got eaten.

No.

I want to buy a T-shirt for my niece.
Do you know where could I buy one?

At the bazaar by the train station.
They used to have quite a lot of them.

Do you have one?

Why do you ask?

Is that yours?

Will someone tell me what's going on here?

We're just talking.

He is to be interrogated
only in my presence. Understood?

I wanted to make this easier,
but we can meet at the station.

Good bye!

WIFE m*rder*r

PC DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE HARD DISK DRIVE

- I've got something for you.
- A raise? A bonus? A gift?

Help me open it.
I think we need a password.

Sure, I'm on it.

Absolutely no one
can watch this recording.

Okay.

- Are we going?
- Where?

Don't you want to talk
to the Broniarek witness?

I ran a thorough check of all of our
suspects' social media accounts.

They've got a lot of friends.

They've got money, so they've got buddies.
Did you find anything?

Antek Szczepański, 20 years old.

Two months ago,
he was at a party at someone's house.

They got a bit wild and decided stealing
a Buddha figure would be a great prank.

- What?
- A knick-knack from the mantelpiece.

The parents returned, got pissed.
The mother reported it to the police.

Antek is the main suspect.

But how much can a Buddha figure be worth?

That specific one, less than 200.
There are more expensive ones.

But you catch my drift.

A Buddha figure? Mostowicz...

Got a better idea?

You've overexposed them!

Photos from the camp, where are they?

They're mine.

It's mine.
Those are not just from the camp!

Now, it's evidence.
Don't worry, we will give it back to you.

Please, don't...

Dad! Do something!

Pour me some more.

Excuse me, maybe we should leave.

We talked about
this band's T-shirt earlier.

Is that the one you bought
near the station?

Yes.

Have you got any others?

I'm asking you, not your mom.

Excuse me.

You wanted to be at the interrogation,
so you are.

- Do you have other T-shirts?
- I do.

Do you have one like that?

- Or not?
- I'm not sure. I'd have to check.

Maybe Mom recalls if she had
something like that in the laundry?

Nice. A family of little liars.

How dare you? What are you thinking?

I'm thinking I'm investigating
a double-m*rder case

and your son isn't telling me something.

Look.

The blood type on the shirt
matches Monika Sowik's.

Remember, Paweł? It's the T-shirt you lost
two days before the tragedy.

You told me about it.

- Didn't you?
- I get it. You lost your T-shirt.

And then someone, presumably the k*ller,
put it on, and got it stained

with the blood
of the m*rder*d girl, right?

- We wouldn't lie to you, would we?
- That's your line of defense?

In order to have a line of defense,
one has to be a suspect, right?

Is my son suspected of something?

Stolen. What? We were just fooling around.
I returned that stupid Buddha figurine.

- The w*nk*r's mother is full of sh*t.
- What?

Kuba's mother.

You know that you are facing
up to five years in prison?

What? The cops said it was a misdemeanor.

But the legal qualification
has been changed,

as it turns out the figure is an antique.

So... you want to put me away
for a plaster piece of sh*t?

Listen, we can help you,
but you know nothing's for free.

You were at the party
with that Klaudia girl.

- No, I wasn't.
- Don't lie and say you weren't there.

You're in Facebook photos with the others.

- I was there, but I didn't see anything.
- I understand.

Get a squad car here.
Have them lock him up for 48 hours,

- and I'll prepare the jail papers.
- Jail?

You've got five years
hanging over your head.

How about I tell you
everything I saw at that party?

We need it on paper.

Can you come to our office?

- And that Buddha thing?
- I'll make it go away.

Is that doable?

Sure. On a prosecutor's motion,

the judge can apply extraordinary
mitigation of punishment.

Simple as that.

So, shall we go?

Okay, but tomorrow.

Okay, we'll see you tomorrow.

I thought you weren't sure
if he was at that party.

I wasn't, but I had a fifty-fifty chance.
Had we hesitated, we'd have been screwed.

Well played. Congratulations!

- Good day, professor.
- Good day.

All the e-mails were sent
from our library computers,

which are accessible to everyone.

- So it's impossible to tell who sent them?
- Not necessarily.

Now, I know it's dangerous,
but I'm sending you out on a date.

Great.

- Aren't you interested to know who it is?
- No.

It's a security guy.

He will show you
the security cam feed from the library.

Here's the number of the computer station.

That's how you'll find out
who sent this story to you.

Just, please, in these crazy times,
with RODO and everything—

I won't tell anyone it was from you.
Relax, but thank you.

Good afternoon.

Hi.

Let me introduce you.
Paweł Kopiński, Leon Ruczaj, our dean...

- Hi.
- Hello.

and my husband.

You find that strange?

Not at all.

I really need to go.
I'll leave you two alone.

- It was nice meeting you.
- You, too.

Well, say it.

No, why?

Sorry for calling you at night.

My phone was on silent, anyway.
Did something happen?

Human remains were discovered in the woods
where my sister went missing.

Do you think it's her?

I don't know.

But I'm afraid it could be her.

Are you free this afternoon?

I'm afraid I can't. I have to go.

Laura!

Laura!

- Hi.
- Are you all right?

Guess who is the main suspect
in Monika and Daniel's m*rder case.

- Who?
- Me.

- What?
- Remember the T-shirt I wore in the woods?

Lubelski found it, and he's got
my pictures from the camp.

I'm sorry.

They came to my place
and took all the photographs.

- I should have told you.
- Relax. You couldn't have seen it coming.

But they can't put you in jail?

I don't know. Maybe.

Can you come to the swimming pool later?

- Okay.
- I've got an idea.

Look.

We went out through here, right?

But Monika and Daniel
were in the other wing.

- Right.
- All the exits were locked.

The chaperones had the keys...

You among them.

True. I screwed up.

And believe me, I feel damn guilty
when it comes to Kamila

I'm sorry. That's not what I meant.

On the other hand...

the person with the key
in the other wing was Malczak.

How could Monika and Daniel
slip out without his consent?

I don't know.

Laura...

Malczak has to know something.

I need to watch him.

You want to follow him? Are you crazy?

This is not some action movie.

What if it was him, and he catches you
and does something bad to you?

I owe it to Kamila.

I think it's a very bad idea.

I need two favors from you.

First, you can't tell anyone about it.

All right, and second?

Will you lend me your camera?

And the biggest fish?

I don't know, maybe some kind of shark?

Right.

- Which is the smallest one?
- An ant fish?

Don't know. I have no idea.

d*ck

PAY, AND JOANNA'S CASE WILL BE CLOSED

Dad?

Dad...

how come Mom's picture is here?

Oh, you found it. Thank you.

Get in the car.

- Hello, prosecutor. Everything okay?
- What are you doing here?

We're on first-name basis now?
No problem. Call me Krzysztof.

Man, someone messed up your ride.
The paint's dry.

I know a workshop. I can help you out.

Of course, you'd have to help me out, too.
How about it?

You like such deals, right? Because I hear
you offered one to Szczepański.

f*ck you.

Kaja, get in the car.

With the kid around? Goodbye!

Let's get on with it.

- Which workstation?
- Computer twenty-eight.

Twenty-eight...

Right. This one should show something.

- Here?
- Yes.

Date and time?

Last Tuesday, 2:07 p.m.

There you go.

- That's twenty-eight?
- Yeah.

It's impossible.

Stop thinking about this.

I don't want to hear about it, please.

I beg you, consider it.

Are you even thinking about us?

And you?

Are you thinking about me?

Look at me. Look at what I have become.

The pain is slowly becoming unbearable.

I don't want Kaja
to remember me like this.

If you love me...

there is only one decision you can make.

I beg you.

Yes?

I'm on my way.

- Thanks for the video.
- Paweł...

it's not my business,
but there is probably

a recording device at your place.

Meaning?

The video was also recorded
somewhere in the cloud.

There might be a copy?

More than one.
Easy access for any hacker.

Are you okay?

A threesome? At this hour?

You sent those to me.

That story.

LOVE IN THE WOODS
BY PIWONIA

Are you crazy?

- Did you start doing dr*gs at your age?
- Mind your tongue.

Oh, please,
take your drama someplace else.

We know it was you.

Right...

I should've guessed the dean
would go a long way to help you.

How did you know the details?

I don't know.

I just received the stories
and I was told to mail them.

- I didn't come up with so much as a comma.
- Who?

I don't know her name. Some girl.
A top-shelf piece of ass.

She paid me ten grand.
That's pretty generous, right?

Why would you do it?

You're so naïve.

Who do you think could've paid him?

Ten grand.

Someone is obviously playing us here.

I've got the DNA test results.

Perkowski?

It was Artur. I was right.

- So what is going to happen now?
- Nothing.

We know it's him,
but the evidence is illegal.

What should I charge the Perkowskis with?

Could Malczak be innocent?

All the murders in the woods?
What if the m*rder*r is still at large?

That's absurd. I don't believe it.

And?

Her family reported her missing.

She didn't come home from work.
So it's not one of the kids from the camp.

Clear!

Freeze! Stop!

Put it down!

Drop it.

Wait. Let me check it.

Cuff him.

To the commissioner's health!

Do you think
you'll get a promotion for this?

You'll get nothing.

He is a real m*therf*cker, this Malczak.

Offed a woman.

One woman and four kids in those woods.

What?

He didn't k*ll the kids.

What?

But... we'll pin the kids on him, too.

Who was it, then?

I'd bet on the Kopiński kid.

I just made up the blood
belonging to Monika, but truth be told...

I can't prove anything against him.

- Any results?
- The place has been cleaned perfectly.

A squad of Ukrainian cleaning ladies
wouldn't have done a better job.

So, we've got sh*t?

Not really. Someone scrubbed the place,
but they were amateurs.

- Luminol?
- Look.

Iron in hemoglobin acts as an activator,
and bingo, out comes blood.

At least we know
where they k*lled Kowalski.

There's more.

Look.

f*ck me!

PAWEŁ

Mr. Zolder.

Forgive me, did we have an appointment?
I'm about to have a meeting.

With my client.

- Your client?
- Antoni Szczepański.

My client's full explanation. Seriously?

Changing the legal classification
of the crime was a cheap bluff.

Oh, and using Article 60 in such a case
was going a bit too far.

A misuse, really.

I'm going to file a complaint
with Chief Prosecutor Herman.

Have a nice day.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

Zolder? How can this kid afford
a lawyer like that?
