01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

[heavy breathing]

Go ahead and come in.

- Straight ahead?
- The bathroom's straight ahead. That's it.

[noises from the cellar]

I fell in love
with your mother...

What?

Want to get rid of us and
take the house without paying?

I was going to.

Put that away, you look like
some psycho from American movies.

So?

She's hot, right? Good
for rolling in the hay.

- Yeah, maybe.
- So where's your chick then?

- In the basement.
- No way...

You sick b*stard! It's a
side of you I never knew.

The bathroom has a really nice layout.
Can you turn the music down a little bit?

Not really, because...

Yeah. Paweł is usually
very put together.

- So am I. We're cardiac surgeons.
- I see.

When Paweł operates, he only
listens to classical music.

Piano, pianissimo,
total focus, you know.

But here, we want to unwind. Listen
to something different. Have some fun.

Maybe I'll take some photos,
since we're already here.

Yeah, just a few snaps.

It's a summer house. A bathroom, an
outside barbecue to grill sausages.

- What's there?
- The basement. It's empty.

No, no. That's off limits.

I was thinking we could also go and see
my studio apartment in Powiśle district.

- With pleasure.
- Okay.

- It's very cozy.
- I have some time.

- Okay, well. It was nice to meet you.
- Likewise.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

- If you change your mind...
- I definitely won't.

[woman] -I see.
[whispering] -Thank you.

[woman] -Is the apartment far?
[man] -It doesn't take long to get there.

[man] Let me say "Bye" to Paweł. Hey.
When are you coming back to work?

- Why?
- Old Man might be up to something.

- Okay.
- Yeah. Take care. Bye.

With her my life's like a dream

[water boiling in kettle]

[sighs]

[clears throat]

Hey, this is Arek.
Leave a message.

[THEME MUSIC] A DECENT MAN

[dogs barking outside]

When will Janek have
his stitches removed?

I asked when Janek's
stitches will be removed?

Sometime soon.

Soon as in when?

Ania...

Can we talk a moment?

Yeah. We have to.

I can trust you, right?

[chuckles]

We've been together
for 16 years.

And you're asking...

If you can trust me?

Ania, I did a bad thing.

- You cheated on me.
- No, why would you think that?

- You knocked up a nurse.
- Stop it.

- You took your first bribe.
- f*ck, what's wrong with you?

Well, maybe you should take
bribes like all your friends do.

I wouldn't have to work my a*s off.
Take risks and do all that stuff.

- What stuff?
- I wanted to leave after college.

I kept asking you. "Not now.
I'm doing my fellowship."

Okay, do your fellowship.

- "Now I have to help the professor."
- What is it with you?

I wanted to tell you that I did
something that got out of hand.

You're not the only one, Paweł.

Many things can happen now.

What kind of things?

All kinds.

But I don't know
if I can trust you.

Remember the pharmacy guy?

- Adam.
- Have you heard of a reverse supply chain?

No.

Polish pharmacies buy
drugs from wholesalers.

Wholesalers cannot buy
them from pharmacies.

Pharmacies only sell drugs to
patients to prevent ill*gal export.

- So Adam was breaking the law?
- Stretching it.

That's the official story.

But you had no idea, right?

I used my knowledge about
it to buy him for less.

He did that a while ago.

But it was him, right?

Not you? He was
stretching the law.

- Anna...
- f*ck.

Paweł... f*cking
hell, you're so naive.

Of course I knew about it. How
else would you get this house?

- f*ck me.
- By taking shifts in three hospitals?

- I can't believe my ears.
- We were in it together.

And up until now I thought we
had covered our tracks well.

- That we're safe.
- f*ck.

There's a surprise inspection.

Inspection? By the police?

By the Chief Pharmaceutical
Inspectorate.

Of course, it's not our
first or last inspection.

It's not a coincidence. I don't
know what's going to happen.

There's going to be an investigation.
They might question me.

- They might question you, I don't know.
- Wow.

- We'll figure it out with the lawyers.
- Thanks.

- Thank Borecka. She put it all in motion.
- How do you know?

That's why I think we should drop
the lawsuit. That's the safer option.

Janek will get better.
It will all be ok.

I don't know what
bad thing you did.

But I'm not in
the mood to hear -

about the dilemmas of the future
chief of cardiothoracic surgery ward.

f*ck!

[high tempo dance music]

Hi.

I'll give you two hundred to sit
here and just listen to me, okay?

Wow.

I kidnapped a guy. I'm
keeping him in the forest.

In a summer house.

He's underage. He beat
up this other dude...

Actually, my son.

What would you do now?

Bury him in the forest.
Be done with it.

No, that's not an option.

- They'd find me anyway.
- So talk to him then.

Okay. And then what?

Are you gonna buy me a
champagne or keep moping?

I have a kid to support.
I'm not paid to do therapy.

Hello, my name is Kamila
Borecka. I'm Arek's mom.

Did Arek come to see Mundek
the last couple of days?

I see. Thank you, goodbye.

Doctor, there's a stain on
your shirt. It won't come out.

You're not going to work?

I took a day off.

What's the occasion?

Usually you can't be
persuaded to get away -

even for a week so that we
can have a normal holiday.

A patient I operated on died. The
prosecutor will probably file charges.

What charges?

Where are you going?
Wait, I'm talking to you.

- I'll throw the shirt away.
- I'll take it.

You're going out dressed
like that? Yeah, why?

Bow your head.

Do you want to pee?

How's the leg?

Let me go, sir.

I'll go home on my own. You
don't even have to drive me.

I won't tell anyone, I swear.

Let's say I agree.
What happens next?

I'll say that I took something.

Some E, some speed.

I got hit by that car. I wanted to
see my father but he wasn't home.

I'll come up with something.

- Where does your father live?
- In Łódź. He's a gynecologist.

I've done it once before.

Do you see him often?

No. My folks hate each other.

Once, I went there when
I wanted to piss mom off.

So she has probably called him.

- No.
- I certainly would have.

My father wanted full
custody after the divorce.

- And?
- And nothing.

Mom is ripping him a new one.
They're fighting in court.

He wanted to take me and
leave my brother with mom.

You have a brother?

I do.

- Does he go to the same school?
- No.

Okay.

Is your mother seeing anyone?

Does your father
have a new family?

He keeps getting
new girlfriends.

Okay, I'll think about it.

I need to pee.

And take a sh*t, I think.

You'll change afterwards.

Hands.

- Good morning.
- Good morning, doctor.

- Is the boss in?
- He went to see the management.

- Is it about me?
- I don't know.

He was there yesterday.
Today they called again.

- I'll wait for him.
- Sure.

BORECKI GYNECOLOGIST ŁÓDŹ

Good morning.

- Oh, hi. Want coffee?
- No, thank you.

Did anything happen?

There's always something
happening around here.

I mean, about the Olympian.

No. Just some mistakes
in the documents.

Look. The National Health
Fund keep bugging us.

Red tape will destroy this
country someday. I'm telling you.

- I have to fill those charts.
- I thought I could get back to work.

- Oh, I don't know.
- Why should I hide? I look guilty.

- Is anything happening with my case?
- Nothing.

- Paweł, I have to deal with this now.
- Of course.

Instead of standing at
the operating table.

Soon it's going to be me.

[melancholic piano music]

The prosecutor?
What's that all about?

- What? I don't know. f*ck it.
- I've always said patients are assholes.

You know I could have done that
surgery. I told the old man.

- You did?
- Paweł. If there's anything wrong...

Anything at all... Just
remember that I'm on your side.

Sure. Thanks.

What's happening with your case?

And yours?

Is that how we're
going to talk? Really?

I called you this morning
and your phone was off.

There was no reception.

Where were you?

[phone is ringing]

Yes, hello?

Good morning. This is senior
sergeant Bałyga. Is mr. Prus home?

Hello?

Open the door, please.

Come in.

It's the police.

Are you the owner of the car with
a license plate number WT0788E?

- Yes. I mean, my wife is.
- The car is mine. My husband uses it.

What is this about?

- Can you please go upstairs?
- But... The girls are leaving.

Yes. Goodbye.

- Goodbye.
- Bye.

Goodbye.

Were you driving that car on May


Three days ago? Yes, I was.

- Dad? What's wrong?
- Nothing. Would you go to your room?

Janek... [Paweł]
-Would you?

Our son got beat up at school.

We have security footage. While leaving
the car park at Kołłątaja Street,

you damaged another
car and fled the scene.

But I left a note with my contact
info behind their windscreen wiper.

Why did you say I fled the
scene? I had no reason to.

- Why did you say it?
- Calm down.

- I am calm.
- We're checking the facts.

Then stop talking nonsense.

You have footage so watch it.
I put a note behind the wiper.

Maybe wind blew it away.

- I really have nothing to hide.
- License and registration please.

- I'll get it.
- Of course.

[someone is typing]

Janek, listen.

There's nothing wrong. I
bumped into a parked car.

Dad. Arek is missing.

He's been gone for three days.
The girls have just told me.

Okay.

- But what happened exactly?
- I don't know.

His mom is calling
other parents.

Everything's probably fine.

Dad... Tell me you have
nothing to do with it.

With what?

- Tell me it's not you.
- What do you mean, not me?

Tell me you didn't
do anything to him.

Are you crazy?

Listen... How could
you even think...

- I'm shocked you'd think that.
- I'm sorry.

And clean this place up. Bring
the glasses to the kitchen.

[melancholic piano music]

Do you want to call your mother?

You'll tell her that everything's fine
so she shouldn't worry. What's your PIN?

- Yes or no?
- Can I really can call her?

- Your PIN?
- Six, six, five, three.

You have to unchain my hand.

There's no reception here
anyway. So let's go outside.

- Right.
- What? Hey, don't...

I was supposed to call home!

[aggressive mumbling]

[tense music]

[doorbell ringing]

Thanks for coming over.

Hey... Slow down, okay?

Don't mother me.

Girl. Why don't you
just call Janusz?

Ask him if Arek's there.

What, you want me to call?

Here. Call him.

If I call I'll just hear I'm a crappy
mom who can't keep track of her kid.

Like he can.

What are you afraid of? Would it
be the first time you hear it?

- Oh no. Not the first.
- See?

I don't have it in
me to fight that man.

But he won't take Arek away.

He doesn't want to. It
would be a problem for him.

Plus Arek also has a
say in this, right?

- Yes, Arek has a lot to say.
- Yeah.

And he has a lot of hatred inside of
him. Pure hatred for his father. For me.

- For himself...
- Hey.

- f*ck, everything went wrong.
- Hey.

[melancholic piano music]



MOM: BABY CALL ME. WHERE ARE
YOU? IT'S NOT FUNNY ANYMORE.

AREK, PLEASE CONTACT ME.
I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOU.

The worst part is, when
he's gone, I can breathe.

On the one hand, I'm
insanely worried.

And on the other I'm glad
he's not here, you know?

- I'm sick of him.
- Yeah, I know.

It's been three days since
the last fight in this house.

There's peace and quiet.

I actually wish that
he wouldn't come back.

That's the worst part.

Hey...

AREK: STOP CALLING
ME, YOU IDIOT!

STOP STIRRING sh*t ALL OVER WARSAW!
I'M AT DAD'S. IT'S MY RIGHT!

[melancholic piano music]

[phone ringing]

It's Arek. He's at his father's!

See?

Now it's going to
start for real.

[melancholic piano music]

[phone ringing]

- Hello?
- Hello, good evening.

This is Paweł Prus, Jasek's dad.

- Good evening.
- Am I disturbing you?

- I'm sorry to be calling so late.
- It's okay. What is it?

Jasiek told me what happened. I wanted
to ask if I can help in any way.

And what happened?

Jasiek told me that
Arek has disappeared.

That he hasn't come
home. Is this true?

We've already found him.

That's what I thought.
It was just panic.

That's good. I'm glad to hear.

We couldn't get a hold
of him for a while.

Oh, I see.

Now you know how this
situation's affecting him.

Maybe now you'll
reconsider my offer.

After all.
- Yes, mrs. Kamila...

A lot has happened. It's
been very emotional.

Me and my wife talked
about it and...

I thought maybe we could meet?

You and me?

Of course. When?

Maybe tomorrow morning? At nine?
- Could it be later?

I can't later, but it's fine.
If you're not interested...

No, 9 am is fine, but is there
a chance you'd come to my place?

- Sure. What's the address?
- I'll text it to you soon.

Okay, so good night then.

Thank you. Good night.

MOM: BABY, WHERE ARE YOU?
IT'S NOT FUNNY. I'M WORRIED.

AREK: I'M AT DAD'S.
IT'S MY RIGHT!

[narrator] CONNECTING
WITH MOBILE

Hey, this is Arek.
Leave a message.

Janek, you're pretty
good with such things.

Is it possible to delete
files without any trace?

What files?

- It doesn't matter.
- It always leaves a trace.

[loud footsteps in stairs]

[dogs barking outside]

[presses play]

[male voice singing] Take
a pill and go to sleep

I'm chasing witches
in the street

I'm the last page in your book

Can write a song only to hooks

Watching horses in the fields

The dragon rests in agony

When I'm afraid I lose my mind

It's fun it happens all the time

When I'm afraid I lose my mind

It's fun it happens all the time

Isolation, caved in

I adore you, the
sound of your skin

[child crying]

[electronic piano music]

It's all right now.

[boy is mumbling]

I can only offer you
water. We're in a hurry.

Of course.

Mrs. Kamila. Me and my wife had a
talk. We don't want to go to court.

- I will reimburse you, of course.
- There's no need for that.

We just want Arek to apologize
to our son. That's all.

Of course. He'll apologize.

Could I maybe talk to him?

With you there.

He's not home now. He's
in Łódź with his dad.

I see.

But when he's back, I
will make sure it happens.

Great. That's great.

I think we'll see eye to eye.

To close this topic: please
let me apologize again.

Arek can be...

Really obnoxious.

With me too, believe me.

You're raising two sons alone?

- Alone.
- It must be very hard.

Yes. It is. His father
couldn't handle it.

Right. I see. A
divorce is also...

Hard.

We have a doctor's appointment. We're
in a hurry. Is there anything else?

Maybe I could drive you?

All right.

Take this.

It's all right.

Calm down, we'll be
right there, Jacuś.

You're a heart
surgeon, aren't you?

Yes.

Are there times you
think you're a god?

No.

But I do think my decisions
impact people's lives.

- Maybe that explains your self-control.
- My self-control?

Well...

When I came over, your wife
wanted to rip out my throat.

You were so... calm.

There's a lot to be said about
me, but not that I was calm.

- Well, you seemed very calm to me.
- That's possible.

Does your wife knows
about your visit?

Of course. I
discussed it with her.

[tense music]

I admire your strength.

And how you fight for your son.

That move with my
wife's company...

Amazing. Amazing...

- [boy mumbling]
- We're almost there, Jacuś.

It's OK.

Almost there.

Your ex-husband is a
doctor too, isn't he?

- How do you know?
- You looked into us, I looked into you.

That is understandable. You need
to know your enemies, right?

[birds chirping]

What kind of a doctor is it?

You won't get it. My
husband didn't either.

Should I come with you?

No, just help me
with the wheelchair.

- Will we see each other again?
- I don't think so.

You're dropping
the lawsuit, so...

That's it. Thank you. Great.

[soul music, male voice singing]

[mumbling]

I saw your mom today.

I told her you were safe.

Did you tell her I'm here?

No, you texted her saying
you went to your dad.

What if he calls her?

Do they call each other often?

See?

So if he calls, we'll
worry about it then.

- Okay, when are you letting me out?
- Your mother...

She wasn't particularly
sad that you were gone.

You give her a hard
time, don't you?

Does your brother piss
you off? Be honest.

It's no wonder. It must be hard.

Once, I almost pushed
him down the stairs.

Okay.

I mean, I did push him.

Was he okay?

Fortune always
favors fools, right?

I guess so.

I got so much sh*t for that.
No computer for three months.

Can't be easy for her
with the two of you.

I don't blame my
dad for bailing.

- Really?
- I'd do the same if I could.

But you stayed with her.

So you love her.

It's her I hate the most.

Maybe it's good she got
a little break from you.

What's your end game?

What are you trying to do?

I don't know yet. I don't know.

But we need to figure it out.

I'm waiting for your offer.

I thought he would call.

I mean, I thought the police
should call or someone like that.

But it's been four
days and nothing.

So me and Misiek came to
you. Didn't we, Misiek?

Do you remember his
license plate number?

Yes...

WI...

- 649...
- 649...

- 6W.
- 6W.

What kind of a car was it?

Some kind of a
sedan... A grey sedan.

You know what's interesting?

I'm a visual learner.

I remember this guy's face.
You know, it was kind of...

Kind of peculiar. Seemingly plain,
unremarkable, forgettable...

- The face of that driver?
- No, of the boy's father.

But there was something
wrong with him.

He pushed that
boy under the car.

You know... Would
a parent do that?

[g*nshots]

- Not bad.
- Not bad? Please.

Are you friends with an eye
doctor? I need to see one.

Have you ever shot at a person?

The f*ck is this, an interview?

I'm just asking.

Think I'm only playing cop? My
sister might be thinking that.

Okay. Your turn.

- What? No way.
- Go on, sh**t!

I wanted to talk.

f*ck, if you wanted to talk, doctor,
you should've taken me out for a vodka.

That thing keeps bothering me.

- What thing?
- Well...

Oh, that...

Wanna beat the sh*t
out of that brat?

What if I kidnapped him?

Kidnapped? How? Why?

Held him c*ptive for a while.

Kidnapping. Great f*cking idea.
What would you do with him?

What if I kidnapped
him by accident?

Are you insane? Can you even
kidnap someone by accident?

What if it was a coincidence?

Are you doing drugs
on your shifts?

Is there any way to wriggle
out of it and not go to jail?

Oh, I don't know.

You'd have to k*ll
the guy. What else?

Have you ever had such a case?

What's this about, brother?

- Did you kidnap him?
- I did.

You're really something, man!

Whatever, sh**t.

sh**t! We're wasting time.
