[ominous music playing]

Stand.

Do it slowly.

I don't want to hurt anyone.

-Then lower the g*n.
-No, no, no.

Because you all think that it was me.

You're wrong though,
I'm not some psycho who would...

I wanted to protect her
'cause I loved her, that's all.

Why don't we talk?

I just need you to put the g*n down.

No, no, no.
You don't believe me, do you?

I wanted to be close to her,
to keep her safe.

[grunting]

[g*n c*ck]

[groaning]

[Zawieja] Arms back!

-[Hania] Mom?
-Hania.

I need your help, okay?

Go get the duct tape from the drawer
under the coffee maker. Hurry!

Got it? Rip off a long piece.

More, more, more, more.

That's great. You did really well.

Give me my phone.

It's in the jacket pocket.

Sergeant Katarzyna Zawieja.

Dispatch someone to my house.

I neutralized an attacker.
It was a break-in.

Hania, hand me the tape.

-[tense music playing]
-[panting]

Don't move.

Stay there, you hear me?

What's going on? Who is that man?

That man, what he did was wrong.

He entered our house
without me knowing.

And that's not okay, right?

That is against the law.

You helped me a lot, Hania.
You were very brave.

So, what will happen to that man now?

The police will come here...

to take him away.

Will he get punished?

-Probably.
-How?

Don't worry about him. He'll be okay.

[pensive music playing]

I need to talk to that man
for a minute. Okay?

I'll be right back.

Were you drinking?

-What?
-Were you drinking?

No.

Okay.

This is how it went.

You were drunk.

You wanted to talk to me,
so you broke into my house. Okay?

And I won't say that
you threatened me with a g*n.

Got it?

Yeah.

Now drink up.

Some more.

Drink.

[phone rings]

Wait, wait.

In my pants pocket, my flash drive...

Everything's on it.

THE THAW

-[siren wailing]
-[suspenseful music playing]

Son of a b*tch...

-All good?
-[officer] They're bringing him out.

-[Hania] Trepa!
-[Zawieja] Hi.

Hi!

-You won't believe what we did.
-What did you do?

Mom knocked down a man
that came into our house.

Then I helped her
tape his hands together.

Wow, you're such a brave warrior!

How you going to fall asleep
with all this excitement?

-Hi.
-[sighs]

-Are you okay?
-[Zawieja] Yeah.

But... we'll talk in a few.

Got to get her to bed.

-[groans] Got what you need?
-Mm-hm.

You're fine to go, then.

-Excuse me?
-[knocking on door]

All done? Got everything?

[officer] Not really.

-[Trepa] It's fine.
-[officer] Okay.

-Janek.
-[Janek] Wojtek.

Wojtek.
What did that officer want with me?

-Trepa.
-[somber music playing]

I'm... Trepa.

You're a trapper?

No, it's all good, Janek.

Just a police drill.

[tender music playing]

[sighs]

[Hania] She knocked him down,
and then kicked him.

Bam, right in his nose!

That seems like a movie scene.
How cool is that?

Mom is going to sign me up
for martial arts.

And then she and I
are gonna train together.

Oh, yeah?

That's great and then I bet
you'll get really strong, right?

And she said we're going to practice
with Trepa.

Is that right?

I don't really know
if I'm the right guy

for that, though, you know?

[pensive music playing]

[children shouting]

If you and I
had been living together,

everything you went through
never would've happened.

What? Are you ashamed of me? Say it.

What is it you're afraid of?

That everyone we know,
they're gonna talk about it?

You scared of that?

Or maybe you think
I'm too good for you?

I'm too nice, I'm too kind?

'Cause I care for you? Is that it?

You only get into the relationship
whenever things are really bad.

I see, you want something dangerous.
Unstable, right?

Is that the type of life partner
you really want?

So, you want somebody mean?

Someone you have to give
all your attention to?

But you'd never know
when he'd snap next?

And with me,
you've got it too f*cking good.

Bag carrier. Babysitter.

Lover whenever you want it.

Your cook whenever you're hungry.

And your own f*cking driver now.

-[Kamińska]Hi.
-Hi.

Go on in.

Everything all right?

You won't k*ll the guy, right?

Chief!

-You can't be serious.
-If my wife was attacked

while she was at home...

Zawieja is not my wife, for one.

And her home... is not my home.

Trepa...

Let's do this.

What the f*ck was that?

as*h*le.

What were you thinking?

I'm sorry, I...
I was really drunk, I...

[emotional music playing]

You loved her. I get it.

But it didn't work out.

Sometimes it doesn't.

Even if you're doing
everything right.

The way you should.

You're doing your best.

You're always there for her,
no matter what.

You could do literally
everything for her.

It still won't be enough.

She herself doesn't even know
what she wants.

She's not able to explain to you

what it is that you could
be doing better.

It doesn't even matter
that you're no longer together

because you stay by her side.

You watch after her
for hours and hours.

Guys, this is the first officer
I've worked with

who catches murderers
in her very own kitchen. Bravo!

-Bravo.
-[officers applauding]

[Madejski laughs]

Okay, okay. I appreciate the thought.

We don't know if he k*lled anyone,
though.

I heard you were only in panties,
is that right?

[laughs]

Lewandowski left me a little gift.

He claims that
this is proof of his innocence.

Nice going.

[Trepa] Tell me, Grzegorz.

[tense music playing]

You couldn't take it, right?

All of it was too much for you.
Helplessness overtook...

Can you just say what it is you want?

-You have the pictures already.
-I don't get it.

VISUAL EVIDENCE FOR FORENSIC ANALYSIS

What was in there?

Photos.

The ones
that we couldn't find yesterday?

[intriguing music playing]

I gave that police officer
a flash drive.

Hang on, what flash drive?

A flash drive that has photos
of the m*rder*r!

Those... Those photos show
I didn't f*cking k*ll anyone!

You really going to keep it all
to yourself there?

What are you doing?

I'm asking what the f*ck you're doing

because I've been
questioning the suspect

and you're f*cking hiding evidence
and running your own investigation!

I was about to give it to you
in the car,

but you were focusing
on yelling at me

-and not on the case.
-You know you can't f*cking do this!

f*ck...

Okay.

What is this?

-It's a flash drive given to us...
-These are the photos I received...

For f*ck's sake!

One at a time, come on.

Zawieja first.

These are photos that I received
from Lewandowski.

[Trepa] Evidence in the case

that we didn't see yesterday
in his apartment.

[somber music playing]

Who is this?

All I know
is that it's not Lewandowski.

Because he's the one
who took the photo.

Potentially her lover.

[Pietrzak] I can't see sh*t
in these pictures.

Forensics could find something
we can't.

Well, Kamil Pawlak.

He was the last one to see Alicja
the night she was m*rder*d.

[Trepa] All right so, this confirms
everything Lewandowski said at least.

She drew the curtains,
he had nothing to photograph,

so he went to his mother's.

So then,
Kamil Pawlak works for Nowak.

[both] Mm-hm.

He sold the drugs to Kuba Bosko.

He was the last person
seen with Alicja.

Maybe he went to her
to ask for drugs,

and that's when
the two of them argued,

and he m*rder*d her.
Might be that simple.

Oh, please, he's just a kid.

He's hiding 'cause he knows too much,
not 'cause he k*lled someone.

I might have an idea
how to reach him.

How?

Kinga.

I'm almost certain
I've gained her trust

and she would be able
to lead me to Kamil.

Yeah, chief, I mean,
why not let Sergeant Zawieja

keep on running
the whole investigation?

No need to take over.

She's doing great on her own,
let her have it.

You go for it. You can call her.

Talk to her. Come on, it's fine.

Jesus f*cking Christ.

I don't care
what's going on with you both,

unless it affects your work.

Unfortunately, it seems it just has.

This shitstorm of yours
is unacceptable.

If you don't calm down,
then you're both off the damn case.

I mean it.

All right, what else?

Did you figure out
why Lanski has been in the city?

[chuckles sheepishly]

-No, not yet.
-All right, Trepa, bring Aneta,

check it out and find out
what he's up to.

-Right now?
-When else?

Understood.

See you later.

Have a good day.

All right. And what's your plan?

[tense music playing]

Can I go in?

[door lock buzzing]

[buzzing stops]

There really is a man
in the photos you gave us.

A lover, am I right?

You have any information on this man?
Who he is?

I honestly don't know.

All I know is he would
only visit her at night.

I think he would leave his car
parked in the underground garage

and go straight to her.

When we were doing the search,

we ended up finding
a drug-sorting area

in her apartment. Was she dealing?

[scoffs] Dealing?

[laughs]

If anything, that f*ck must've
dragged Alicja into something.

And Kamil?

He was dealing and visiting her.

Could he have done it?

Alicja was like a mother to Kamil.

He would've been in an orphanage
if not for her.

She cared for him.
Why would he have k*lled her?

You think Alicja would be involved
in dealing drugs? She wouldn't.

She's not that kind of woman.

What'll happen to me now?

You have to stay here
until it's all sorted out. I'm sorry.

[tense music playing]

And I'm sorry that 'cause of me,
your daughter had to...

I'm truly sorry.

[dramatic music playing]

-[man] It's a private owner.
-[Trepa] Yeah?

How much gas does one of these use?

[man] Well, as much as you put in,
I guess.

[Trepa]
Nice, nice. How much these go for?

-It would be about 180 to 200 grand.
-Oh, man.

-Way out of my price range.
-Gotta dream big.

Nice to meet you.

She's nice.

Alrighty.

Our little GPS tracker is in place.

Now we just got to wait here.

[ominous music playing]

[line ringing]

[Kinga over phone] Hello?

[Zawieja] Hi, Kinga.

Hi.

Kinga, please listen,
it's important, okay?

Do you know where we can find Kamil?

He's hiding.

Okay, figured he was.

I was hoping
he would meet with me soon.

Because I wanted
to sort out a few things.

Right now, he's a suspect
in a m*rder case.

If he wants out of this,
to prove he wasn't involved,

he'll have to meet with me
so we can talk

because only then can I help him.
Understand?

Okay, just give me a second.

Of course.

-Can I ask you something?
-Sure.

When Zawieja returns,
your partners will change, right?

I don't understand.

It's just that everyone knows
that you're a couple.

Well, then, I guess if everyone knows
everything already,

our partners are going to change.

At home and work together...

It never works out,
and I know something about that.

All right, Aneta.

Please change the subject.

Okay.

That'd be great.

[phone ringing]

Yeah?

[Kinga over phone]
Kamil agreed to talk to you.

He said to meet at the Zgody Square.

Okay. I'll come alone.

Can you be there in ten minutes?

Kinga, wait. Ten minutes...

I won't be able to get there by then.

He doesn't have much time.

Okay, but I'm not physically able to.

Fine, let's make it 15.

All right, I'll be there in 15.

Get me a map of Szczecin.
[clears throat]

Let's see. Zgody Square.

Zawieja and Woźniak
drive plain-clothed

to the corner of Księcia Bogusława

and Wojska Polskiego.

Madejski and Kamińska
go to Bałuki Street.

Third unit, Skupień and Poroz,
secure the pedestrian zone.

And the unit with Zawada,
cover the whole square.

[dramatic music playing]

[Trepa] Where's he headed
on that boat? At night?

[Aneta] To Nowak's, apparently.

-You want?
-No thanks, Aneta.

Oh, come on, I know you like them.

I do, but I can't.

You know what they say.

Moderation in all things.

All right, your loss.

Okay, just one.

[phone ringing]

-Hello?
-[Kinga] We'll be in Żeromski Park,

-by the crosses in five minutes.
-Yeah. What do you mean?

I can't get there that quick.

You have to.

All right.

f*ck.

Woźniak, change of plans.

New location.

Let me out here.

Okay, get to your spot fast
and wait there, okay?

SMS

[Madejski] Okay, check in.

[Kamińska] We're in position.

SMS

Now in position.

Waiting.

He's messing with us. Little sh*t.

[Marek]
You don't get to do side deals.

This is our route and our people.

Take my advice, Nowak.

Back off.

-Or Molski will f*cking k*ll you.
-Okay, okay, okay, Marek.

You little chatterbox. Let me talk.

We can't stop it now.
There's no way out of it.

-Decisions have been made.
-[g*n c*ck]

[Marek groaning]

Tell Molski something for me
when you get a chance.

In this city, I'm the boss.

Whoever ends up getting
in my way is dead. Got it?

-Got it?
-[grunts]

Get the f*ck out of here
and take Marek with you.

Don't.

[suspenseful music playing]

Give me the phone.

f*ck.

[intriguing music playing]

I see them. They're here.

Holy f*ck, he's here.

Hi, Kamil. I'm glad you're here.

Look for the GPS tracker.

[dramatic music playing]

-[phone rings]
-Yeah?

Okay, boss.
He's fully f*cking determined.

He won't quit.

This is w*r.

And the cops are on our tail.

They dropped a tracker in the boat.

What the f*ck?!

We're going to see your mom.

What?

We're leaving. Pack your stuff.

That son of a b*tch.

-[siren wails and chirps]
-[engine revving]

I knew you were lying.

-Kamil! sh*t! Kamil! Stop!
-[suspenseful music playing]

Cut him off!

He's bolting.

[siren wailing]

[Kamińska] There!

We can't let that little b*stard
get away.

[Zawieja] Kamil!

Kamil, stop!

-f*ck!
-[tires screeching]

[thuds]

[Zawieja] Oh, God.

[panting]

Kamil...

f*ck. f*ck.



Corner of Kapitańska and Świętosławy.

Send an ambulance.

-We have an injured cyclist.
-[radio chirps]

These are all the officers
who m*rder*d my friend!

This is the officer who betrayed us!

-Kinga, stop it!
-Over here is the actual m*rder*r!

Stop recording, you can't film this.

-[Kinga] And this is my friend.
-[Madejski] Camera down.

-We're handling an emergency here...
-f*ck off!

-[Madejski] Hey, give me that!
-Woźniak, what happened?

-Why did you turn the lights on?
-Holy sh*t...

f*ck!

-[Zawieja] Damn it.
-Jesus...

Is he alive?

[Zawieja] Barely.

Didn't you see him?

-No, I didn't.
-What the f*ck's wrong with you?

-Are you serious?
-He rode right in front of the car!

Get that form.

[door opens]

Ah. The patrol cars' dashcam

and the CCTV footage
have been secured.

We'll send those over right away.

Yes, so that'll have to do for now.

Okay, then.
I'll keep you updated when I can.

Thanks.

Well?

Want to tell me
what the f*ck happened out there?

Look, chief, I, um...

The boy ran away,
and so we chased him.

We tried to cut him off,
but he just...

No, it was my fault.

I f*cked up.

If I didn't...

drive so far in like we had agreed
when we planned...

All right.

I would say the situation
was dynamic.

None of us reacted properly,

that's because
we were all caught off-guard.

And due to our mistake,

when Kamil and I were about
to start talking, he bolted.

Kamińska and Madejski
initiated a pursuit

which ended awfully for the suspect,
as you know.

An accident...

we wish never happened.

You'll all be questioned
by the prosecutor.

But just know...

As of now,
we're in this together, okay?

You're dismissed for today.

Zawieja. You've said enough.

Just go home.

[pensive music playing]

[Zawieja] Hi.

Will you wait for me?
I'll drive you home.

-All right?
-[knocking on door]

[Kinga on video] These are all
the officers who m*rder*d my friend!

-Thank you.
-Sure.

[banging locker]

Hey, Madejski! Don't! Madejski!

Madejski! You got to stop! Don't!

Hey, Madejski, enough! Calm down!

-Hey! What the f*ck?
-Hey!

Pull yourself together.

Relax.

f*cking hell.

-You did everything right.
-Don't give me that sh*t.

We're going to have issues
if the kid ends up dying.

Yeah, I figured that much.

Watch this.

[Kinga] These are all the officers
who m*rder*d my friend!

-What are you doing? Kinga, stop it!
-[Kinga] This officer betrayed us!

And over here...

[dramatic music playing]

[Trepa] I saw Lanski at Nowak's.

Okay.

Lanski was meeting with Nowak.

Nowak attacked him pretty bad.

Not sure what for.

Although I will say
it did feel like a g*ng w*r.

So I assume that,
since Kamil was dealing drugs,

they had to come from Nowak,

and Lanski, without a doubt,
works for Molski,

so this might have to do
with a drug route.

Could be they're all connected.

Yeah, you're right.

Look, my mind is...

It's somewhere else entirely.

You want to talk about it?

Just as your friend.

No, I'm...

It's fine.

-[monitor beeping]
-[respirator hissing]

[alarm beeping rapidly]

Kamil?

Kamil, son!

[dramatic music playing]

Please, someone!

I need a doctor, right now!

Hurry! Something's wrong with my son!

Where's the ICU?

-Take the elevator one floor up.
-Thank you.

You have to get in here now!

What is it?

Back up, please.

-Hi.
-Hi.

[sobbing]

I'm just not cut out for all of this.

It's all a mess.

-[somber music playing]
-I'm not strong enough for it.

-What's going on with you?
-I don't have the strength.

Sweetheart, you can do it.

When was the last time you cried?

When you were pregnant?

Oh, my baby.

[dramatic music playing]

INTENSIVE CARE UNIT

[somber music playing]

[inaudible dialogue]

[sobbing]

[phone ringing]

-Hello?
-[Pietrzak over phone] Zawieja.

-Yeah?
-News from the hospital.

-Kamil Pawlak is dead.
-What? What happened?

His heart. They tried,
but they couldn't get him back.

f*cking hell.

Will you let the others know?

Mm-hm.

Okay, thanks.

[phone ringing]

What's up?

Listen.

Kamil didn't make it.

What are you saying?

I'm sorry.

Oh, f*ck.

So, now we're really screwed.

Tonight, we shouldn't be alone,
that would only make it worse.

I guess.

-At Kamińska's?
-Okay.

-I'll be there in 20 minutes.
-I'll send the address.

Bye.

All right.

[sighs]

-[dramatic music playing]
-[people shouting]
