[mysterious music

becomes slow and dramatic]

DETECTIVE FORS

[fire roaring]

[coughing]

[man] Watch your step.

Hey!

[people chattering]

[indistinct chatter]

[machine beeping]

Move back.

[slow, dramatic music continues]

- [patting on door]

- [siren blaring]

[music becomes quiet]

[music fades out]

So there's a top secret brothel

run by former n*zi collaborators

somewhere in the Tatras Mountains.

And the prophet Isaiah has taken

to murdering their descendants

and leaving coins for you

at the scene of the crime.

All because 30 years ago you two decided

to steal from the orphanage director.

I gotta say that's one crazy,

f*cking story. What's the punch line?

Elijah, not Isaiah.

Listen, Forst.

[loud thud]

I've got two charred corpses to deal with!

We're gonna have more dead bodies

than tourists soon!

And you're telling me

about your childhood?

Do I look like a f*ck' therapist?

How about Adamiak?

- Dr. Adamiak, are you taking new patients?

- [tense music playing]

The bodies

One of them is Halina Sznajderman.

[Forst breathes deeply]

The other's her bodyguard.

Halina was seeking revenge

for what Łowotarski did to her mother.

[music becomes ominous

and then quiet and tense]

Mountain Remembrance was a front.

Listen, Forst.

- It's a renowned institution.

- [sniffs]

You have any evidence?

- It went up in smoke.

- Of course.

Halina made the mistake

of thinking she controlled Iwo Elijah.

It was the other way around.

And those coins?

Messages.

From Elijah to me.

Łowotarski.

Elijah. Ghosts.

No one knows them.

No one has heard of them.

Except you.

Szrebska will confirm everything.

She might or she might not.

As it stands, she's in the hospital

drugged out of her mind.

- Look, am I under arrest or what?

- No.

But don't go anywhere.

[music fades out]

Adamiak, go see

if the Tatras are still there.

- What?

- Get the f*ck out.

Oh. [clears throat]

Anyway, I gotta meet the prosecutor.

[door shuts]

You still haven't turned in

your service weapon.

[quiet, tense music playing]

I actually need to report

my service weapon as lost.

Get the f*ck out.

At least give me a composite artist.

I'm not giving you sh*t!

[bangs door]

Get the f*ck outta here, Forst!

f*cking hell!

[music becomes tense and dramatic]

[men playing lively, folksy music]

[quiet tense, music playing]

[camera shutter clicks]

[tense, dramatic music playing]

So what do we know?

Like I told the detective earlier,

it's obviously arson.

The fire started in several places.

You want a portrait?

[Forst] Yeah, actually.

But not a caricature.

And definitely not me.

COMMANDER

You won't find anything else here.

And are you sure about that?

We scoured every inch.

[tense, dramatic music continues]

Not so much hair. Yeah, like that.

[distant bird cawing]

The lips are pursed and thinner.

[camera shutter clicks]

[pencil sketching]

Got something!

[breathing deeply]

Thanks.

And twice that much for one more thing.

[whispering]

[music intensifies]

- [music stops]

- [faint, electrical humming]

[faint, tense music playing]

[music intensifies]

- Nine millimeter.

- [music stops]

I don't have to tell you

that's a very common caliber.

It doesn't mean it was our GL*CK.

His GL*CK. It's his f*cking g*n, not ours!

That son of a b*tch has you all fooled.

Nina's acting like a lovesick teenager,

you feed his addiction,

and his boss treats him like a g*dd*mn

- I do what?

- Ah, forget it.

I think we can all agree

that even if Forst

is some deranged serial k*ller,

he's not an idiot.

He wouldn't leave the m*rder weapon

right under our noses. He's being framed.

What?

You hope that if you ignore ballistics,

your friend won't go to jail.

Only comparative

analysis can prove with certainty

that the shots came from Forst's g*n.

Has he brainwashed

the both of you, for f*ck's sake?

Can't believe a word he says!

He's a manipulator.

Would you shut it already, Adamiak!

[faint, mysterious music playing]

There's, uh, one more thing.

After the fire,

they did a routine blood test on Forst.

[exhaling] He was positive for heroin.

You gotta be f*cking kidding me!

A junkie m*rder*r.

He's got us in here arguing

while he's out scouting his next victim.

[music becomes dramatic]

[door opens and closes]

[music stops]

Some guy left a delivery for Osica

while you were gone.

- [electronic beeps]

- And something for you from ballistics.

- [people chattering]

- [telephone ringing]

[quiet, ominous music playing]

[music becomes dramatic]

I f*cking knew it.

Boss! It's Forst!

[music intensifies]

[quiet, moody music playing]

[Forst exhales deeply]

[kisses]

I will find him. I swear.

- [dramatic action music playing]

- Yeah, we're on our way.

Keep an eye on him,

but by no means try to stop him.

The who?

No, security guards don't stand a chance.

- I told you! b*ll*ts came from his g*n?

- [Edmond] I don't wanna hear it. Shut it.

Ballistics don't lie.

Forst shot those people.

- I told you, the b*stard can't be trusted.

- Just drive, let me think!

Yes sir. Think how I'm right.

[dramatic action music continues]

POLICE

[siren blaring]

[music stops]

You'll be safe here.

What?

[quiet, moody music playing]

"You'll be safe here."

That's what you said.

Yes, I did. And you are.

You're in one piece.

Elijah shot Halina

and her bodyguard with my g*n.

If he left it for them to find,

they'll have to take a closer look at me.

Detain me.

In the meantime,

he'll be free to k*ll again.

And I can't let him do that.

You'll have police protection 24-7.

No one will come hurt you here.

[quiet, moody music continues]

[kisses]

I'm sorry, Olga.

[dramatic action music playing]

Come on.

Which way to ICU?

- [woman] Fourth floor.

- Thanks.

Adamiak, you take the stairs,

I'll take the elevator.

If anything happens, you'll cut him off.

[dramatic action music continues]

- [elevator bell dings]

- [music stops]

sh*t.

- [sniffs and sighs]

- [tense music playing]

[babies crying]

[tense music becomes dramatic]

[music becomes quiet and tense]

This is our floor.

[elevator bell dings]

[music intensifies]

- Forst! Wait! Forst! Hold it!

- [dramatic action music playing]

Forst, get back here, goddammit!

[gasps]

[grunts]

Forst! Stop!

- Move it!

- [woman screams]

[grunting]

- Forst!

- [grunts]

Forst!

Don't move!

- [music becomes quiet and tense]

- [breathing deeply]

f*ck, really?

I need you to put your hands

above your head.

[Forst sighs]

Edmund, you know

we won't catch him by the book.

I can break rules you're not allowed to.

[tense music becomes dramatic]

[sighs]

Would you actually have shot me

if I hadn't stopped?

We do what we have to do.

[Edmund grunts]

You're too old for this, Edmund.

[suspenseful music playing]

Doesn't mean I can let things slide.

We do what we have to do?

That's all we do.

[both groaning]

[music intensifies]

- [loud g*n blast]

- f*ck!

[dramatic action music playing]

[Edmund screams]

[Edmund groans and screams]

Police! Get on the ground!

- [g*n blast]

- [grunts]

- Inspector!

- [groaning]

Go after that b*stard, Adamiak!

- [breathing in and groaning]

- [music stops]

- [machinery hissing]

- [tense music playing]

[both grunt]

[panting]

Adamiak, listen to me.

In the mountains, we solve

our issues with our bare hands.

Come on.

[tense, dramatic music playing]

[both grunting]

[steam hissing]

[Forst gasps]

[Adamiak growls]

[Adamiak gasps and chokes]

[Adamiak gasping]

[Adamiak gasps]

[boy] Daddy, do you know how

tall the Giewont peak is?

1198 MASL

[Gjord] 1909 meters.

[girl] And the Kasprowy Wierch?

[Gjord] 1988.

[boy] And the Żabi Koń?

- [Gjord] 2091.

- [dishes clinking]

[girl] Oh! I bet you won't get this one!

The Kopa Kondracka.

[Gjord] 2002?

[girl] Hm.

Look. Dad took me here,

to Kasprowy Wierch.

- Sorry, milk delivery's late.

- [Gjord] That's okay.

- [girl] See over here?

- [Gjord] I take it black.

- [boy] Mm-hm.

- [Gjord] Do you have sugar, though?

[girl] We took a cable car to get there.

[Agata clears her throat]

[sugar jar clinks]

[Gjord] And a spoon.

[girl] And then he took me here.

Come on. I wanna show you something.

[spoon clatters]

[Agata] Anything else?

[girl] See that mountain?

[Gjord] Would you like to sit with us?

[girl] That's where we went with Dad.

You remember that, right?

[boy] Of course.

[song continues]

[girl] I'm not sure.

What is it with people like you?

You show up here to get a break

from your concrete jungle.

With your measly city lungs full of smog

and your hearts

full of pain and suffering.

Yet you treat the locals

like those damn shepherds' axes

you buy as souvenirs

then dump in a closet to forget about.

After all, you're headed home tomorrow.

Or what you think home means.

Because all you can do

is run toward the precipice.

- And when you stand at the edge

- [cup clinking]

you keep your eyes squeezed shut.

To make sure you don't accidentally

see something to make you wanna stay.

Anything but that.

I think your brutal truths

would be a lot more impactful

if you only shared them

with dumb tourists.

[song continues]

[quiet, tense music playing over song]

[song fades out]

GJORD

[tense music fades out]

- [people chattering]

- [telephone ringing]

[woman chuckles]

So we keep it as simple as possible.

There's a warrant for Forst's arrest.

He's on the run,

and potentially armed and dangerous.

But he's not the Beast of Giewont.

Of course he isn't.

- This is a mistake.

- I'll introduce you to the vultures.

You'll want your full kit for this.

[cell phone ringing]

[Gjord] I can't take your call right now.

Please leave a message,

and I'll get back to you.

[beep on cell phone]

[people continue chattering]

FOR INSP. OSICA

URGENT! F.

[quiet, tense music playing]

[Gjord] I can't take your call right now.

Please leave a message,

and I'll get back to you.

[beep on cell phone]

[cell phone ringing]

[Gjord] I can't take your call right now.

Please leave a message,

[sniffs]

[lipstick lid clicks]

[music becomes mysterious]

[music becomes ominous]

[moody, dramatic music playing]

[people shouting]

[Edmund] I can tell you

that we will be addressing reports

of g*nf*re at the hospital, of course.

Also, the investigation

into the recent murders

which is being led by my colleague,

Detective Adamiak.

We'll be turning things over

to Prosecutor Wadryś-Hansen,

who will give you

the details on everything.

Prosecutor Wadryś-Hansen, everyone.

Thank you.

[moody, dramatic music continues]

- [inhaling]

- [camera shutter clicks]

As you heard from Inspector Osica,

there was an incident

at the hospital that resulted in g*nf*re.

His professionalism and modesty

prevented him from mentioning

that he was injured in the altercation

with the sh**ter who is now a fugitive.

Fortunately, his injuries

are not life-threatening.

As you can see, it's hard to keep

a true Goral away from his duties.

[people chuckle]

Now for the more difficult news.

Inspector Osica and his colleague

were attacked by the Beast of Giewont.

Wiktor Forst.

- [people shouting]

- [camera shutters clicking rapidly]

[man 1] Wasn't Forst in charge

of the investigation?

- [man 2] Was he working with anyone?

- [man 1] Does he have an accomplice?

- Forst

- [woman] Did he try to kidnap you too?

Forst spun a web of lies and deceit.

[tense, dramatic music playing]

He deceived his colleagues, his friends.

He was actually pretending to investigate

a case in which he was the prime suspect.

In spite of his suspension,

he was able to deflect suspicion,

hide evidence and clues

and cover his tracks.

[music becomes moody]

[camera shutters clicking]

Our intent is to have the Beast's face

on front pages everywhere.

I want his image shown

on all the evening news programs.

[panting]

We need to flood all media,

both traditional and social,

with this crucial information.

We will do everything

in our power to stop him.

We will not rest

until we have captured the Beast.

We will not relent.

He's k*lled his last victim.

[people shouting]

[moody music continues]

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm going to need you to settle down.

A spokesperson for the Police Department

will release

a detailed statement this evening.

I have nothing to add

[moody music continues]

[music stops]

What was that?

What the f*ck was that?

Adamiak's hunch was right.

And you are a hero, Edmund.

[quiet, dramatic music playing]

Now all that's left

is to bring Forst back in.

- Understand?

- [scoffs softly]

[Gjord] I can't take your call right now.

Please leave a message,

and I'll get back to you.

[beep on cell phone]

[moody music playing]

- [tires screeching]

- [music intensifies]

[music fades out]

- [pounding and knocking]

- [Wadryś-Hansen] Karolina!

- Are you there? Open up!

- [Karolina] Coming. I'm coming.

- [Wadryś-Hansen] Open the door right now!

- [pounding]

- Where are the kids?

- In their room. I'm glad you're here.

Mr. Gjord was supposed

to be here three hours ago,

and I need to catch the last bus.

[panting] I'll give you money for a cab.

[Karolina] Thanks.

- Good night.

- [door opens]

[door shuts]

[child groans]

Mommy.

I'm here, sweetheart.

[girl] Why do you look so sad?

[chuckles]

I'm not sad.

I just really missed you two.

Did you have a good day?

Karolina took us to go get ice cream.

It was a celebration.

Daddy said it was an important day,

so we could get

as many scoops as we wanted.

He told you it was an important day, huh?

Yes.

You can ask him when he gets home.

[sucks teeth]

Hm.

Sweet dreams.

Don't look at that.

You hear me?

- Leave it.

- [screaming] Where the f*ck is Agata?

How would I know where she is, Edmund?

[gasping] What have you done?

It's not me.

Where's my daughter, m*therf*cker?

I know it's you!

- Where is she!

- [Forst gasps faintly]

I didn't do anything to her.

That as*h*le called me!

Using her phone. I came to see

if she was here. Look at the calls.

Who called you?

Huh? Iwo Elijah? Is Iwo Elijah

the f*ck torturing my daughter?

- Yes.

- [gasps] What did he tell you?

[sobbing] What the f*ck did he tell you?

- Nothing. He just moaned.

- [ominous music playing]

I'll f*cking k*ll him.

I'll f*cking k*ll him

and bury him in the woods.

[Edmund breathing heavily]

- She's alive.

- How the hell do you know that?

Because that b*stard's obsessed with me

and needs Agata to reel me in!

He's manipulating me

through your daughter!

- f*cking pull yourself together, Edmund.

- [Edmund inhales deeply]

- Listen.

- [gasps faintly]

We have to work together.

I'll make a copy of the video,

and you give the laptop to Staszek,

let him check it out.

Staszek didn't come in to work.

What?

And he didn't f*cking

come in yesterday either.

He and the Rozwadowski

kid knew each other.

[quiet, dramatic music playing]

- What?

- Forget Staszek!

I don't give a sh*t about him!

I've got the entire f*ck' force on this!

But you left some

at the hospital, didn't you?

What the f*ck

are you talking about? Of course not.

- You left Szrebska without protection?

- as*h*le!

The one you should

be worried about is my daughter!

We need to worry about both!

[Edmund panting]

[both grunt]

- [Edmund moans faintly]

- [typing on keyboard]

I need to report Agata's abduction.

[quiet, dramatic music continues]

Forst.

[music fades out]

- [ominous music playing]

- [shuddering]

- Mommy.

- [music fades out]

I know why you're crying.

It's 'cause you miss Daddy.

Paw-Paw will cheer you up.

He's a good listener. You can tell

him all your secrets and sadness.

Daddy tells Paw-Paw everything too.
