02x08 - Episode 8

[bunniefuu]

[male presenter] A hit that our listeners

have enjoyed for the past decade.

[Kinga] I took the divorce papers

to Igor to prison.

[Alicja] He's lucky

we only got him eight years.

[upbeat music]

[Zuza] Did you feel that adrenaline?

And we're only just getting started.

10 YEARS EARLIER

[Alicja] I've always felt

a strong connection to Robin Hood.

[Kinga] And I've had a crush on him

since childhood.

[Alicja] Kinga. Do you know

the secret to female friendship?

- I do.

- Well?

Similar taste in wine,

different taste in men. [chuckles]

A good g*ng should have good rules.

["Jestem kobietą" by Edyta Górniak

quietly on the radio]

Rule number one.

We never do heists for our own benefit.

[fire crackling]

[Kinga] Rule number two.

The g*ng is Alicja, Kinga and Zuza.

We make all the decisions together.

[Alicja] Rule number three.

Friendship above all.

Ouch!

[Kinga] Good idea

with the lipstick pact, huh?

I've always fainted while having it taken.

Ladies.

Welcome to the Green Glove g*ng.

[song continues louder]

THE GREEN GLOVE g*ng

[song continues louder]

[song ends]

[Igor] Maria.

I'd like to thank you very much.

You've been a very efficient informer

for the past months.

Only you made it possible.

Thank you.

[sad, instrumental music]

I told him that you were in Bieszczady.

He said

He pleaded that he only wants

to get Kinga back.

I didn't mean to betray you.

Don't worry. [chuckles]

We've got traitors galore here.

Where's Tomek?

- [engine revving]

- [tires screeching]

[multiple tones for new text messages]

Oh!

THE GREEN GLOVE g*ng STOLE VENUS!

Holy Mother of Our Town!

- [loud sirens]

- ["Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZ Top playing]

- [song ends abruptly]

- [police dogs barking]

You have really hurt my feelings.

[loudspeaker screeching]

Playing cat and mouse is fun and all,

but one shouldn't drag it out.

So please, come out.

For decency's sake!

This has been going on for too long!

This is Tomek. If this is important,

leave a message or call back later. Bye.

[Zuza sighs]

[suspenseful music]

Excuse me.

If I may offer some advice?

During training,

they told us to give short orders.

Army-style.

- [Alfred clears throat]

- [loudspeaker screeching]

I'm upset!

If they ask you,

you know nothing about anything.

You know nothing.

You were in the club,

they took you hostage.

Steal the Venus?

Unheard of. They crossed the line.

They've done a lot of good.

Let them get something out of it.

[cart wheels screeching]

Oh. Are you on the side

of the g*ng or the police?

[waiter] Excuse me?

I asked who you're rooting for?

- Switzerland.

- What?

[dog whining]

What's in there?

You mean me?

[Alfred] You? [chuckles]

Here?

Show us the contents of the caddy!

[sinister music]

I knew you'd be here.

[music intensifies]

[music fades]

[slow, suspenseful music]

[Masarz] Relax, I'll handle this.

- [phone keyboard beeping]

- [ringing tone]

[phone ringing]

[Chief] Alfred!

What's going on here,

for f*cking Masarz's sake?

You were to stay away from this club.

Chief, I'm confident the g*ng is inside

and is working for Masarz.

- Your badge.

- But

- Your career is over.

- I don't think so.

What?

Friendship with a gangster,

obstructing the investigation

Shame on you, chief.

And I don't mean the virgin mojito.

I'm taking over.

- But

- No discussion.

You don't say no to a pregnant lady.

Arrest him.

- Come with me.

- Hands off!

This way.

[Chief] Unhand me!

Do you know who I am?

- [sighs]

- [loudspeaker screeching]

This is Detective Katarzyna Gujska.

This is your last chance.

Vacate the building immediately.

[Zuza] Girls.

[uplifting, instrumental music]

Stealing from con men with you

was an honor.

You are the adventure of my life.

Mine too. And let me remind you,

I once hooked up with a rock star.

I repeat, come outside

with your hands in the air!

It won't work. I've tried.

[metal clanking]

[Masarz] Hold on!

Beginner's luck.

Hold on.

Excuse me.

There's been some

terrible misunderstanding.

If you just let me contact Chief Mirek

I'm here, Krzyś!

[handcuffs clinking]

[slow, melancholic music

with high-pitch vocalizations]

[indistinct conversations]

- [Kinga] Can I have your number, honey?

- [police officer] 112.

[police sirens]

[Alfred] Can you confirm it's them?

[Marzena] Yes.

I saw them at the museum,

stealing the Venus among the smoke.

[Alfred] Thank you.

You won't weasel out of this now.

Where's the figurine?

- What figurine?

- Listen, I won't fall for that!

[phone ringing]

Hello?

I'm calling off the alarm. We found it.

How come?

We found Venus.

And the cup.

[quirky, rhythmical music]

"Every lady needs some fun

from time to time."

They haven't stolen anything.

What?

[Zuza giggles]

["Venus" by Banamarama playing]

Quickly, she could use a drink.

[song fades]

[door shuts]

[sinister music]

PARIS

[in French] What an inaccessible woman.

- [in French] What is this?

- [in French] I don't understand.

- [in French] I don't understand.

- [sinister music continues]

[in French] It's a fake.

[g*ns clanking]

[in French] sh*t!

[bangs and swooshes]

[music fades]

So this entire heist

was never the g*ng's idea?

[chuckles]

Just poor women working under threat.

What's more?

- Ultimately, they never stole anything.

- [Gujska] Not this time, perhaps.

But there are a few cases to clarify.

They won't weasel out.

That remains to be seen.

[slow, instrumental music]

[rhythmical music with drums]

Um, what do I know?

What's a few dollars or diamonds anyway?

Construction was put on hold.

I've thought it over.

Only idiots prey on poor dogs.

I was an idiot.

The g*ng put you out of business.

It wasn't a business.

It was exploitation.

When the children from the orphanage

started writing to me,

thanking me for the donation,

that's when I really understood

my developer motto.

"We invest in the future."

[gasps] They did more

for the image of senior women

than Cher and Maryla combined.

I'll gladly do some community service.

Please leave the g*ng alone.

[crowd] Free the g*ng!

- Free the g*ng!

- Justice must prevail!

Free the g*ng! Free the g*ng!

Free the g*ng! Free the g*ng!

- Free the g*ng!

- Release them!

- Free the g*ng! Free the g*ng!

- Justice!

[Alfred] "Alfred,

this is my last letter to you."

"Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever,

even in the afterlife."

"I'm proud of who you've become."

"Your heart is in the right place.

You're becoming a better, cleverer cop."

"Speaking of cleverness."

"You need to change your methods.

If you can't beat them, use them."

"And wear a hat.

Fingers crossed! Your mom."

[Alicja] I know I said I would like

to live with you in my old age,

but that's not exactly

what I had in mind.

[Zuza] Hmm.

Worst-case scenario,

we'll be out after we're 90.

[Kinga] Ninety.

It's a sixty if you twist it around.

[Zuza and Alicja chuckle]

[slow, melancholic music]

Alicja, what are you sensing?

All in all

All in all, I'm only getting

good vibes today.

[music fades]

We can drop the case.

And clear you ladies of all charges.

Under one condition.

From now on, you work for us.

The Green Glove g*ng

working for the police?

For the people of Our Town.

Then we also have one condition.

I'm listening.

[Alicja] I think you'll agree

that the real criminals

should be punished, yes?

Sure.

Why?

- [Igor] Pearl! Please leave

- [Pearl barking]

[Igor] Pearl!

[Marzena] Hey, Igor.

I got back peanuts I stashed

under the floor at the Second Home.

I want to get back in business.

How are your dealings with the Frenchman?

Let me know. [in French] Au revoir!

["Zielono mi"

by Andrzej Dąbrowski playing]

[police sirens]

No. I object!

I'm not going back there!

Leave me alone!

[Joasia] More surprising news

from the National Gallery.

The Venus of Kazakhstan

has returned to the gallery.

There are more questions than answers,

but what's most crucial right now

is that art historians have confirmed

the authenticity of both artifacts.

[upbeat music]

I confirm.

[shutter clicks]

The Venus from the basement

is the Venus of Kazakhstan.

There's also the case

of the vanishing cup,

which was stolen for one day

from the gallery.

Is the vicar of the Our Town Cathedral

somehow involved?

[with distorted voice] The vicar always

talked about wanting to get back the cup,

that the gallery unfairly took it

and entered it onto the heritage list,

so has to drink wine

out of a common crystal chalice.

Please, leave me alone!

Please answer the question!

This is slander!

But were you the one

who wrote a letter to the g*ng?

No comment.

[Joasia] Meanwhile, echoes of the g*ng's

activities continue to surprise us.

[Zofia] Ladies and gentlemen.

It's not easy being a lonely senior.

It is widely accepted

that we can either die in solitude

or end up in a nursing home,

where we become infantile

because we're treated like children.

This way of thinking needs to be changed.

We want to stick together.

That's why we're turning

the senior citizen's club

into Our Town's first

senior co-housing project,

named after

[loud horn-like signal]

the Green Glove g*ng.

GREEN HOME

SENIOR CO-HOUSING

- [applause]

- We should get an eco-friendly subsidy.

Since we're green.

The best place for active seniors

to spend their golden years.

[applause]

GREEN HOME

SENIOR CO-HOUSING

I heard they're making a TV show

about the g*ng.

Here you go. One hot dog.

Two fifty. Thank you, enjoy.

- [Tomek] Thanks.

- Hello, welcome.

And this one's for you, sir.

Two fifty, please.

[Tomek] Should you have a job for me,

don't forget to let me know.

[chuckles] Only legal stuff.

- Yeah. For example

- [signal interference]

Hello? Can you hear me?

Hell

Hello?

[single beep]

[Zuza] Hi.

I'm recording this because

I'm leaving for South America tomorrow.

[sad, melancholic music]

Probably forever.

I wanted to apologize to you.

For all the bad things.

I've been a lousy mother.

Not a day goes by

that I don't think about it.

If there's one thing

I dream of in this life,

it's to reconcile with you.

If you'd like that too, then

I'll bring you to me.

I love you.

I wanted to return the car.

- You know I was the one who told Marzena?

- I do.

I'm sorry, Mom.

I don't hold a grudge.

[slow, melancholic music continues]

I'm sorry for so many things.

[Tomek] Hey!

This really was

the best vacation of my life.

[chuckles] Mine too.

[slow, ethereal music]

[music ends]

[Kinga] It didn't mean anything!

We had a deal!

Stop staring! Read my lips.

It was a meaningless one-night stand.

Why the hell did you bring those flowers?

But it's for Alicja.

- [door opens]

- Oh.

Alic

Oh.

[quirky, rhythmical music]

They're for you, ma'am.

- From the boss.

- Thank you.

[Masarz] Because roses are passé.

COFFEE IN 698 DAYS?

Should I pass on something tomorrow?

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

[sighs] What an arrogant generation.

In my day, they brought flowers after sex.

[slow, romantic music]

[music fades]

2 MONTHS LATER

[Bogdan] We're all fed.

Changed into PJs.

- [Gujska giggles]

- Tadzio, wave to Mommy.

Sweet dreams, pumpkin. You too, Tadeusz.

[Bogdan giggles]

[slow, calming music]

[music ends]

[Gujska] I'm here, Alfred.

Finally, Gujska. Come and see.

It's the best idea I've had in years.

Or maybe even in my entire life.

Now, they'll be at our beck and call.

Are you spending public money again?

Trust me, Gujska.

This combines PR with pure pragmatism.

[upbeat music]

Our Town will finally be ours.

[slow, melancholic music

with high-pitch vocalizations]

"Our Town's first senior co-housing

named after the Green Glove g*ng

is inspiring seniors

all across the country."

Oh, I'm going to miss them.

Soon, we might join them.

Maybe you will!

[music continues in the background]

To nature, which you can't cheat.

To friendship that never fails.

To the g*ng.

[music fades]

[upbeat music]

[chuckles] I wouldn't give this up

for any elixir of youth.

Girls!

["Luz-blues, w niebie same dziury"

by Daria Zawiałow playing throughout]

f*ck me.
