[water flowing]
Hey, there's a boat here.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Zawieja whispering] Sit down here.
[water lapping]
Shh... We need to get downstairs.
They're still here.
[suspenseful music playing]
[seagulls squawking]
[dramatic music playing]
[Zawieja sighs] All right.
Just hold on. Here.
Come on, come on.
Let's hurry.
[dramatic music playing]
Come on.
Come on.
We need to get to the police station
immediately.

[solemn music playing]
[Zawieja] Hi.
[door closes]
This is my friend, Trepa.
This is Ani.
Why don't you sit?
I'll make you some hot tea, okay?
-I want my mom.
-I know, I'll take you to her.
But first, I'll get you something
to drink.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[door opens]
Why did you steal my car?
[sighs]
I'm sorry, Trepa.
I'm sorry.
It was my only choice.
If I'd reported it,
I would've jeopardized us all.
Someone here is a mole. You know
they've been leaking information.
-Why don't you trust me, though?
-You would have told everyone.
Don't you realize? I'm repeatedly
getting you out of sh*t.
No one knows about the crash,
that you were drunk driving
and almost died.
Look, I really don't have the energy
for your crazy sh*t anymore.
You went to get the girl
without bringing any backup?
Why?
-You want to know about her?
-Sure, I'm listening.
Her dad is Wiktor Molski.
So now I have to question her.
You're with me or you're not.
Up to you.
[door opens]
So all of this is to help you
and your mom stay safe, okay?
Hey, there, hungry? No? Pizza?
It's made with French bread.
A strawberry shake? Okay.
If you're hungry, just let me know.
Should we start now?
[Trepa sighs]
The date is January 28th, 2023.
We're at police headquarters
in Szczecin.
-It's--
-8:12 in the morning.
Say your name.
Tell us where you're from
and how old you are, okay?
My name is Ani.
I'm from Belarus.
Me and my mom lived in Minsk.
I'm 12 years old.
And now tell us
how you ended up in Poland.
It's because me and Mom had
to run from the police, so--
Mom told me that
we're running away to Dad.
Okay. And does your dad
live in Poland?
He lives in Sweden, but he's Polish.
So I guess sometimes he's here too.
What's your dad's name? And when
was the last time you saw him?
Wiktor Molski.
A long time ago.
Maybe two years ago?
I don't remember.
Mama also works for him.
What exactly does your mom do?
She finds cleaning people
and sends them to Sweden.
[Zawieja] I know this is difficult.
You had to escape Belarus along
with other girls in a container.
Can you tell me how you got out?
How you got out of the container?
Who let you out?
I was really sick.
They were driving for a long time.
Mama called out for help.
They heard her calling,
and the man opened the container up.
This picture right here,
is this the man you saw?
Yes.
[Zawieja] The witness has recognized
Oliwier Galewski.
Ani, what happened next?
Mama wanted him to help us both out.
He said I was the only one
he would help, so--
Mm-hm...
He carried me to a car.
Then I saw Pawel.
Is this Pawel?
The witness has recognized
Pawel Lanski.
[Ani] Pawel was the one
who drove me out of there.
-[Zawieja] To that house I found you?
-[Ani] No.
First, we went to a different place.
Pawel went there to meet another man.
That man was yelling at Pawel,
and he was pushing him.
[Pietrzak]
Zawieja, can I have a word?
Pause for a second.
Just stay here, okay?
[door opens]
[door closes]
What was his daughter doing
in the f*cking transport?
I don't know.
Where'd you find her, anyway?
Pawel Lanski was keeping her
in the house that's outside of town.
That's where I found her.
The girl told us that Pawel helped
Oliwier get her out of the transport.
She said that he put her in the car
and drove her to another location
where she then saw him arguing
with someone else.
-All right, and can she ID them?
-She might be able to.
Then tell me
when you get solid evidence.
[tense music playing]
[door closes]
-How's the pizza?
-It's okay.
Ani, can we get back
to our conversation?
You said that Pawel
took you to his car.
And at first, you didn't go to that
house, the one where I found you,
but to another place
where Pawel was arguing with someone.
-Yes.
-Can you describe this place?
Remember anything?
There were a lot of sailboats
around that I saw.
And a big hangar.
-Small boats and a big hangar.
-Yes.
[solemn music playing]
Can you take a look at these?
You don't have to rush it.
Just see if you remember something.
Yeah. This is the place I saw.
This is where our car was parked.
Uh-huh...
Maybe I'll show her the video
-Galewski sent us.
-Mm-hm...
All right.
Will you look at this?
[Ani] Yeah.
This is the fights and the man
who was pushing Pawel.
Yeah, I'm positive.
The car was parked really close.
If she's remembering it right,
then Galewski lied and sent us
footage from a different day.
[Trepa] Okay, I'll check
the metadata of the file.
Thank you, honey.
You just helped a lot.
-Can you take me to see my mom now?
-Soon, I promise.
-Aneta?
-Yeah?
Someone needs to stay with the girl.
She can't leave if she wants
to go to the bathroom.
-You watch her, okay?
-Okay.
[dramatic music playing]
[cell door buzzes]
[melancholy music playing]
[exhales]
I know.
-Can you uncuff him, please?
-Okay.
-Coffee?
-No, thank you.
You're lucky, you know,
that she's okay.
[somber music playing]
I didn't know how you felt
towards Oliwier.
I'm really sorry for your loss.
Did your family know
about this relationship?
You two had to keep it a secret,
is that right?
[sighs] In my father's circles
and in the docks,
it's something
that isn't exactly accepted.
And did your mother know?
Yes, she did.
I know that your father forced you
to take all of the blame
and give that statement,
which was a lie.
But your mom confirmed that
he took part in human trafficking,
and he'd organize it with Molski.
If you testified against your father
in court, you would be free of him,
and you would take him
down once and for all.
Do you understand?
The night Oliwier died...
my father called me saying that
we had another shipment coming.
Oliwier had a crane operator's
license, so...
[whistles]
I trusted him the most.
Pawel, did you know that you were
taking part in human trafficking?
I was aware we were smuggling.
Cigarettes, equipment, cars.
[Zawieja]
But Oliwier opened the container...
and saw women inside of it.
-Is that right?
-Yes.
I got really angry at him.
We had a fight.
Oliwier was begging me to help out
the girl who was sick
and get her out of the container.
Mm-hm...
And then he told me
he would only finish the job
if we took care of her.
We decided that I'd take her
to the Galewskis' shipyard
and I'd wait there until Oliwier
was finished with the shipment.
[sighs softly]
Will you look at this?
Oliwier promised
the place would be empty
and we could come up
with a plan for the girl, but, uh--
But when I got in, I saw
Stanislaw Galewski totally drunk,
which is when he lunged at me.
What did he say? Why was he mad?
I don't know. He was slurring
and calling me a f*cking f*gg*t.
So he didn't know you
were in a relationship?
[scoffs] No. He wouldn't
have been able to handle it.
-But that night, he--
-He must have found out,
and that's why he lunged at me.
[sighs]
Trepa, we've secured the house.
The techs are there.
And I brought your car here.
It's in the parking lot.
-Cool, thanks.
-Yeah, sure.
This is it.
[siren whoops]
[Zawieja] When I showed Ani the
pictures of the Galewski shipyard,
she confirmed that's the place
she first went with Pawel.
So the fight that she witnessed
was between Pawel
and Stanislaw Galewski.
Motive?
He was angry because he learned
that his son is h*m*.
Yes, Pawel and Oliwier were a couple.
Galewski went crazy.
[Trepa] Bingo.
Seems the video
that we got from Stanislaw
was actually captured
the night Oliwier was m*rder*d.
-It was at 10:30 p.m.
-Right.
And Galewski left the shipyard
at midnight that night.
What was he doing
for an hour and a half?
I think he went to talk to his son
while he was furious with him.
Well, this kind of holds water,
though it's all circumstantial.
You have to go to Galewski now.
-If he confesses, arrest him.
-[Trepa] Let's go, then.
[groans]
[suspenseful music playing]
You've been lying to me.
No, I don't. What do you mean?
You're starting to annoy me again.
Why don't you tell me why you
burned your business down?
For the insurance?
You wanted to deceive me,
blame everything on the Lanskis? Why?
No, I wasn't the one
who burned it down.
You hid the date in the CCTV footage,
thus submitting false evidence.
What's your game?
What are you hiding? I'm listening.
f*ck it. Just arrest me already.
Go ahead. I can't take it anymore.
On the night of January 22nd,
you had a conversation
with Maria Lanski, right?
She told you that Pawel and Oliwier
are a couple, right?
[sighs uneasily]
-Yes.
-That's what you couldn't deal with.
And when Pawel showed up
to the shipyard, you lunged at him
and then used the footage of that
to implicate him, right?
You knew Pawel wouldn't hurt Oliwier.
That Oliwier would do anything
for Pawel.
I don't get why you wanted
to implicate Pawel.
-Why would you do that?
-Because my son wasn't like that.
Did you know Oliwier was working for
the Lanskis that night at the docks?
I was pretty drunk.
I wanted to finally talk to him.
[sighs] He never listened
to what I had to say
and never had any time for me either.
He would always make light
of anything I told him.
He never saw me as a role model.
I really wanted what's best for him,
though.
To explain everything to him.
Did you go find him?
Tell me if you went and had a talk
with him at that time or not.
[solemn music playing]
[calling] Oliwier!
[sobbing]
When I got off the boat...
[sighs shakily]
[sniffles]
...I saw him right away.
All right, calmly tell me
everything you remember.
-What the f*ck are you doing?
-I'll f*cking get you.
-I can't believe this sh*t.
-What are you doing?
You're into guys now?
For f*ck's sake.
You're into guys?
[inaudible dialogue]
[thud]
[tense music playing]
When I arrived on the scene,
Oliwier was alive.
If it hadn't been for your state,
if you hadn't left your son there,
he would have survived.
[sobbing]
[Trepa] Officer Trepa,
I'm with the Szczecin Police.
Mr. Galewski,
it is my duty to inform you
that as of now, you are under arrest
on suspicion of negligent homicide
of Oliwier Galewski.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say
will be used against you.
You have the right to an attorney.
[dramatic music playing]
[Gosia] One second!
-Who is it?
-[man] Building management.
I came to check the water.
Janek! [screams]
[in weak voice] Hania, go and hide!
[muffled grunting]
[creaking]
[suspenseful music playing]
[door squeaking]
Hello, darling.
You're going with me.
-Can I put on some shoes?
-Okay.
[Elzbieta]
Who's my sweetest little girl, huh?
Who is my perfect daughter?
[chuckles]
Can we go to the playground
right now?
We can. Get dressed.
Hm.
We'll go to the theaters.
And then we'll maybe get
something to eat. We'll be fine.
And then I'll take you
on an awesome vacation.
And tomorrow, to school.
We'll be just fine.
-We'll be fine, all right?
-Mm-hm...
Now get your jacket on.
[cell phone beeps]
[ominous music playing]
[ringing]
Hello?
[Molski] Do you like the picture?
I have your daughter, you have mine.
In an hour, you'll learn the when
and where of the exchange. Got it?
[car engine starts]
[line ringing]
They aren't answering.
Look, we're on our way.
We'll be there soon. Don't worry.
g*dd*mn it.
[dramatic music playing]
[c*ck g*n]
[music stops]
[Gosia whimpering]
Mom. Mom.
Hang on. Here.
Janek?
Janek?
[gasping]
-Hania, they took Hania.
-Did they hurt you?
-No.
-Did they hit you?
I was the one who let them in here.
You have to save her.
[whimpering] I didn't know
they would do this. Why would--
-I'll get her back, all right?
-Yes. Yes.
-[Zawieja] How's Janek?
-He's got a head wound.
-I'll call.
-No. You can't call. Trust me.
We have to wait.
Trepa, we have to do it his way.
We have no choice.
I have to get Hania back.
[tense music playing]
Just tell me what to do.
I'll patch his wound, then we'll go.
Thank you.
[buzzing]
[police officer] Stop right here.
[buzzing]
[boat horn blaring nearby]
While my husband was in jail,
my son and I were running
a legitimate business,
Lanski Transport.
After he was released,
he was forced to start cooperating
with Wiktor Molski.
He made the whole company available
to him,
so Molski could freely organize drug
and human trafficking.
Detective, congratulations
on solving the case.
If only you'd followed protocol,
maybe the m*rder case
could have been closed sooner
and without complications.
You're all done here now.
Thanks to Mrs. Lanski's statement,
the prosecutor will have enough
evidence to arrest Molski.
Thank you. I hope that we succeed.
Excuse me. Hey, chief,
can I have a word with you?
Good job. Congrats.
He know that
we have Molski's daughter?
No, I didn't tell him.
We have to get her back to the
detention center, to her mother.
Maybe I could be the one to do it.
She trusts me now.
I promised her, you know?
All right, go on.
Thank you.
[door opens]
-Everything's okay. She's asleep.
-Thanks.
Hey, Ani.
-We have to go now.
-To my mom?
I'll tell you everything on the way.
Are you ready?
[sirens wailing in distance]
Get in.
[engine starts]
[Zawieja] I've got the pin.
Forty minutes.
Ani, listen.
We're not going to your mom.
We have to go to your dad.
What for?
Well, the thing is,
your dad just wanted--
-He wanted to see you so much--
-I want my mama!
Ani. You have to do
what Kasia tells you to do.
It's gonna be all right.
You even said yourself
that Dad wants to help you, right?
So first, you're gonna see Dad.
And then Mom will join you, okay?
Okay.
[pensive music playing]
Tell me what I'm still here for.
Sit down. You're about to find out.
Please sit down.
Go ahead.
Your son changed his statement.
He now claims that the entire deal
with Molski
was your business and you were the
one organizing human trafficking.
Bullshit.
He confessed that he loaded
a container full of women onto a ship
and withheld it from the police
under your orders.
He'll get out on bail and testify
as a witness for the prosecution.
[Lanski] Are you f*cking crazy?
We also have statements detailing
all of your meetings with Molski,
along with specific dates, times,
and places,
plus transcripts
of all of the conversations.
From where?
We have the papers and laptops
that were boxed up in your basement.
Maria gave it to you, right?
And what does she get out of this?
We promised her a life without you.
She'll give us everything.
And you'll spend
the rest of your life in jail.
Mr. Lanski, we're gonna be charging
you with human trafficking,
as well as organizing
ill*gal immigration.
You will be put in preventive
custody, awaiting your trial.
Escort him out.
[ominous music playing]
Come on. Let's go.
[Molski] Stop.
They can walk on their own.
[tense music playing]
You're such a brave girl.
I'm sorry you have to do this,
but right now,
you have to go to your dad.
[inaudible dialogue]
Hania! Hania!
[emotional music playing]
It's over. I'm right here.
I'm right here.
It's gonna be okay.
-Hey, boss. They're here.
-[sirens wailing]
Zawieja!
See how easy it is to break you?
For a cop, you're too nice.
Don't go after me or you'll turn
out like Radwan and your husband!
[sirens wailing]
I'm sorry, but I had to.
[boat engine roaring]
[dramatic music playing]
What the f*ck have you two done?
Are you happy with yourselves?
You'll never get rid of me. You hear?
Never.
[melancholy music playing]
Anything you want to say
in your defense?
He had my daughter.
So it really is that bad, then?
You'll have to face the disciplinary
committee for what you did.
[Pietrzak] He's right.
-Zawieja, I'm sorry, but--
-I'll make it easy.
[sirens wailing in distance]
I want to help her out of there.
She'll request asylum.
-I want you to give it to her.
-What? Kasia.
Tell me why.
Because she'll look for her daughter.
And now she's the only person
who'll be able to lead me to Molski.
All right, I'll do it.
I'll help you.
-You're just agreeing?
-[scoffs]
-You won't complain first?
-No.
-Or tell me to just drop it?
-No.
-I find that hard to believe.
-What can I do about it?
Not a damn thing.
-Am I right or what?
-You are.
[Zawieja] I had no choice.
Molski threatened me and my daughter.
I had to give him Ani.
I understand.
To be honest, he's not a bad father.
The first time we met,
it was several years ago,
back when I was working
as a prost*tute.
I fell in love with him.
Did you know about the trafficking?
Yes.
And the Belarus police,
they picked up your trail.
I know I'm being punished for what
I took part in, and that is fair.
I'll do my time.
Just don't send me back to Belarus.
[melancholy music playing]
Don't worry.
I'll help you. Okay?
You need to apply for asylum.
-And I'll support it. Okay?
-Thank you.
Here. Thanks.
Hang on.
[Trepa] Well, sailor,
why don't you hop in?
Jump!
-Are you coming with us?
-No.
This is a trip for the ladies.
I'll go next time.
-Okay.
-High-five.
All right, so--
You'll be there when I'm back?
Well, I don't know
what your plans are.
A few days.
Maybe longer.
Then how about you just call me?
I'll be there.
[tender music playing]
Ooh!
Will you get the line?
Sure.
-[Hania giggles]
-What are you laughing at?
-[Hania] We're off.
-[Zawieja] Fire it up.
Careful. Hania.
Hup!
