03x04 - Episode 4

[bunniefuu]

[techno music playing over speakers]

f*ck! If I go down for this,
I'll never see my son again.

Stop it.

None of this was even your fault.

The boy ran away,
so we had to follow.

He rode in front of us.
They'll figure it out.

Yes, it happened.

But we're alive. Cheers.

[grunting softly]

So how old is your son?

Five. After a while, though,
Agnieszka, ahem, my wife...

she went through this...

-Not sure what it's called.
-Baby blues, he means.

She kept nagging him
about not earning enough money.

Neglecting the baby. Wasn't good.

Mm.

-Then what?
-The man lost his sh*t at a point.

[Madejski]
We just had a little scuffle.

-Right.
-I've got a bad temper, I know it.

I will say I'm working on it, though.

She said she'd report me
for domestic abuse

and if she went through with it,
I'd have been done as a cop. Done.

So I begged her not to do that,
and she agreed,

but cut me off from my son in return.

That's it. End of story.

You're a great cop, man.

A g*dd*mn great one.
Type that's hard to come by.

Someone who has dreams, right?

You wanna travel the world
with your son.

Yeah, okay. Where, though?

I'll retire in four years.

How can I afford to travel?

f*cking camping trip?

All right, we should leave him alone.

Kamińska, how did
you get into the police force?

Ah...

Well, I could've been
a stripper, homeless,

or some gold digger,
a housewife, even.

I could've had a guy in the shipyard,
could've had two kids,

or gone to church on Sundays.

But instead, I joined the police.

[music volume increases]

Know why? It's my life, right?

I can do anything.

Madejski, you're going to be fine.

Cheer up. Come on! Up!

-No, forget it.
-Let's dance, man!

Fine, but everyone has to.
Get up or get the f*ck out.

-Woźniak!
-Kasia, move your a*s!

Up, up!

Zawieja, what's your story?

We've worked together for a year.
I don't know sh*t about you.

Pretty dull.

My father was a detective.

He walked out on my mother and me,
the police, too, then moved abroad.

I enrolled in a police academy later,
then my husband and I met there.

Who, in the end, k*lled himself.

It sucks to be you, girl.
That's rough.

THE THAW

[somber music playing]

[cell phone chiming]

-Hello?
-[Zawieja] Hi, Mom.

I'm sorry I'm not there yet.

I'll be there soon, okay?
I'm gonna take Hania to school.

No need to rush, honey.
It's already happening.

Okay, thanks.

As usual.

Let's go.

-[man] Good morning.
-Morning.

[reporter]
We are currently standing outside

of one of the housing estates
in Szczecin.

Since the early hours of the morning,

many residents of the city
have been shocked

by the case of 18-year-old Kamil,
the victim of a fatal accident

that was unfortunately caused
by a police car.

The Szczecin Police haven't made
an official statement yet.

Local residents and neighbors
have gathered here.

Among them, Kamil's father.

Is there something you'd like to say
about your son's death?

Take your time, sir.

I know this must be difficult
for you.

[tense music playing]

This is my son's phone.

He knew something would happen,
so he left it here.

There's evidence of this
that he recorded on the phone.

[Kamil] Don't talk to her,
she's from the police.

The cops are working with them.

They'll k*ll me.

Are you involved in this?

I have a lot more like this.

It's a tragedy. The boy...

crashed his bike
into one of our cars.

Are you going to give the phone
to the police?

No, they're corrupt.
I wouldn't trust them with it.

Dead on the scene?

He... He was working.

He was actually working for me.

-No.
-He and I were working together

to help disadvantaged
young people...

In the hospital.

People are treated outrageously
by these officers.

And that is why, in compensation,

I would like to give Leon


-[reporter] Do you have a response?
-[Leon] I don't want it.

-What did Wojtek say?
-No money can bring my son back.

You mean Trepa.

Of course, yes. Trepa.

[Leon] I only want justice.

I want everyone who's guilty
to answer for it.

I won't let the police sweep it
under the damn rug. I won't let them.

You know what, Kasia?

There's something really wrong
going on with my head.

[reporter] What was Kamil like?
Tell us about him.

Kamil, uh...

I'm sorry.

We've just heard
from the boy's father...

[Nowak] Leon.

...and you could hear
the pain in his voice.

[Nowak] Please, Leon.

I want you to take the money.
Just take it.

You'll need it for the lawyers, okay?

I also was hoping to see
what else might be on that phone.

-Yeah, what for?
-To be honest,

I have my suspicions about
who might've wanted to m*rder Kamil.

I'm fine with that.
The phone stays with me, though.

[Kamil] Ms. Alicja said
she'd take care of it.

She knew someone with the police,
and now she's dead.

[intriguing music playing]

-Hi.
-Hi.

Thank you.

I figured maybe you would want a lift
to work today.

Mm-hm.

-Have you seen the news yet?
-Yeah.

We're all f*cked.

Woźniak, you were quiet as a mouse
last night.

So I want you
to tell the truth right now.

How'd you get in the police, hmm?

I saw a flyer.

"You want a career that's rewarding?
Well, then, come sign up."

What?

They were handing them out
at our town fair.

I didn't know what to do
with my life, so I picked one up.

And here I am.

Seriously?

That was one of the worst stories
anybody has ever told.

Well, that's my life for you.

-[vendor] Here's your coffee.
-Great, thanks.

And an onion bagel. Just one, please.

-[vendor] Onion? You got it.
-Yeah.

-Great.
-[vendor] Thank you, enjoy.

Looks like the car
was going 42 miles per hour.

No brake marks
until the kid was already struck.

There's no official report yet,
but the experts are on it right now.

And who was driving?

This man here,
Officer Piotr Madejski.

No prior traffic violations.

But there were several instances
of excessive force.

The other one in the car
was Sergeant Kamińska.

I found no prior records on her.

And Sergeant Zawieja?

She witnessed the incident.

That's all we got so far.

-Hello.
-What's up?

Hey.

-Hi.
-Hey.

[Pietrzak] Well?

You ready, kids?

Time to face the prosecutor.

[reporter] We're now outside
of the police station

and we'll be looking for the answers

to all of the questions
regarding the tragic death of Kamil.

Will the prosecutor answer
a few questions?

Let her step out of the car.

Madam Prosecutor,
we have a few questions for you.

-No comments?
-Watch out.

Excuse me. Step back, please.

[reporter] Why do the police consider
the death of Kamil to be an accident?

If any of the officers here
did break the law,

they won't get away with it.

They'll be punished.
You have my word.

All right, everyone.
We'll have time for this later.

[somber music playing]

-Come on!
-[crowd chanting] Murderers!

Murderers!

Murderers!

Murderers!

Murderers!

m*rder...!

[Budka] There were no brake marks
on the road.

I never saw him
until it was too late.

[clears throat]

All right.

And before this,
had you ever met Kamil Pawlak?

He was like every kid in this area.

Could you tell me
what your relationship with him was?

Oh, he and I were pen pals.
[chuckles]

Is this funny to you?

I'm sorry, it's just stress.

Well?

Obviously, Kamil Pawlak
wasn't a friend of mine

or anything like that.

The boy clearly had issues.

Drug dealing.
Was involved in a m*rder.

I just wanted to talk to him.

It was dark out.

Then he rode his bike
right in front of our car.

I didn't have a chance to react.

[crowd shouting]

[crowd chanting]
Murderers! Murderers!

Murderers!

Murderers!

You said, "We can't
let that little b*stard get away."

And why was it so important to you?

[Kamińska]
It just came out, I'm sorry.

You know, it is emotional,
what we do.

We just wanted to finish the task.

That was our priority:
to go get the boy.

As you know, we failed that.

[Woźniak] I'm new here

and I shouldn't have had
my lights flashing.

I mean, if I hadn't,

well, then, maybe that boy,
he wouldn't have run away.

It was my fault.

This one is on me.

[chanting] Murderers!

Murderers!

Murderers!

Murderers!

[Budka] So you think that Pawlak
didn't k*ll Alicja Bochenek?

Yes, that's what I think.

Although, he was the last person
to actually see her alive.

Kamil wasn't innocent, of course.

The facts are, he worked for Nowak.

And what we know about Nowak,

he distributes drugs within the city.

I'm sorry,
but there's something I wanna say.

I think he might work for Molski.

Why is that?

Marek Lanski, who works for Molski,
has returned.

Looks like he gets things done
for Nowak as well.

-[crowd chanting in distance]
-[fireworks popping]

I'm sorry. One minute.

I can't conduct an interview
like this.

[crowd] Murderers! Murderers!

Murderers! Murderers! Murderers!

-[Zawieja] Kamil's father is there.
-[Budka] I see him.

What's your take on the media reports

that the police actually wanted
Kamil to be k*lled?

Not sure, but what I do know,

there's information about it
on Kamil's phone.

His father there waved it
in front of the cameras this morning.

So then we need to find a way
to get the cell phone.

[crowd] Murderers!

-Murderers! Murderers! Murderers!
-[firework pops]

I can't conduct the investigation
like this.

We'll have to suspend proceedings.

First, we need to deal
with this group of protestors

forming out there.

[Pietrzak]
The crowd is getting bigger.

I'll call the prevention unit.

We need help with this.

If we bring out shields and batons,
it'll escalate.

And if that happens,

I'm afraid we'll have
to bring in actual force.

[Budka]
And we need to calm things down.

Then get to Pawlak,
invite him to speak with us,

and go through the damn cell phone.

You can let me go.

As I am. I'll go out,
speak to everyone,

-reach out to negotiate.
-[Trepa] No.

Without backup? Forget it.

We all know how it'll end
if she goes out there!

-No way I'm going to allow it.
-[Pietrzak] Trepa!

It's not up to you, all right?

I'll be out there with her, okay?

[Pietrzak] Madam Prosecutor?

What's your decision?

Well, this may be the only way
to defuse some tension. All right.

[man] The police have been
lying to you!

So, Zawieja and Kamińska,
you will step outside.

Our unit will stay inside,
but we'll be ready to intervene.

But no matter what,
you talk to Pawlak, nothing else.

-Understood?
-Yes.

[dramatic music playing]

Intervention unit in the corridor,

I want you to be ready to go in
only on my clear signal.

Just if it's necessary, of course.

Understood?

[officers] Yes, sir!

[Pietrzak] Zawieja, Kamińska.

No use of forceful persuasion.

You can hear
what's going on out there.

-You can't let them provoke you.
-Right.

Please set your pride aside
out there. Calm and composed.

Try to get him to come in.

If he refuses, at least check out
what he has on that phone.

And the minute you sense any danger,
you go inside.

Quickly! Is that clear?

-Yes, sir.
-[Kamińska]Yes, sir.

[crowd chanting]
Murderers! Murderers! Murderers!

Murderers! Murderers! Murderers!

Murderers! Murderers!

Calm down! Calm down!
Everyone, hold on!

-You guys! Quiet down!
-We hear you!

-Please, stop!
-Silence!

-I just want to talk!
-Calm down for a second!

Listen, I know why you've come here.
Give us a minute to talk, please.

Where is Mr. Pawlak?
Can I speak with him?

[pensive music playing]

-[woman 1] Crazy b*stards!
-[man 1] Don't do it!

[woman 2] Don't talk to her.

You need to let
the two of them talk, okay?

Hello, Mr. Pawlak.

Sergeant Zawieja.
You know me. We've met before.

From what I was told,
Kamil's phone has information

about corruption in the police force.

I was hoping I could see that phone.

-[woman 3] You k*lled Kamil!
-[man 2] Don't listen to her!

-[woman 4] Move along!
-[man 3] Don't give it to her, man.

Leave him alone!

-[dramatic music playing]
-[crowd shouting]

All right, guys! Move out!

Woźniak, wait! Woźniak!

-[crowd shouting]
-[horns honking]

Move! Move!

She got pepper-sprayed.

First aid kit and get water!

[groaning]

Kasia, Kasia. Hey, hey, hey! Hey.

[Pietrzak] Take her to the hospital.

[pensive music playing]

-Come on. Use the back door.
-[Trepa] Yeah.

[crowd continues shouting]

[coughing]

-Can you breathe?
-Kind of.

[grunting]

-You okay?
-Yeah.

-I'm okay, really.
-Let me take a look.

Let's see.

It's fine. Let it go.

[sirens wailing]

[Trepa] Kasia.

Kasia, stay with me.

Kasia.

Take this.

[breathing heavily]

We're almost there.

[Pietrzak] Kamińska!
What the f*ck was that?

You picked that fight.
What the hell was that?

No, it wasn't...

He attacked me.
I had to defend myself.

[Pietrzak] Don't argue, Kamińska.

-You okay?
-Yeah.

Bit sore, is all. [coughing]

You wanna go to the hospital now?

No, I'll be fine.

-[coughs] Ah!
-Sorry.

All right, f*ck it.

[continues coughing]

[woman on PA] Dr. Asmov to the ER.
Dr. Asmov to the ER.

You're lucky, you know.

We didn't find anything more serious
than some external injuries.

The ultrasound revealed
no internal damage.

There's no sign of spinal injury,
cracked ribs,

or any type of fracture.

I would prescribe you painkillers,

however your CBC results
indicate that you're pregnant.

Did you know?

No, I wasn't aware.

[tender music playing]

All right. Then I'll refer you
for an hCG test to confirm.

Okay, thank you.

-All good?
-[sighs]

Um, everything's fine.

You mean it?

I do.

[doctor] Excuse me.

-Yes?
-Your referral.

Oh.

-Thank you.
-Of course.

You know I had no choice
but to do it.

You're right.

You did good.

I wanted to get that phone.

I was curious what's on it.

[cell phone ringing]

-Yeah?
-[Nowak] Madejski.

What the f*ck's going on there?

You basically started this sh*t.

Shut the hell up and come over.

We won't talk about this
over the phone.

What if I say no?

That would be a mistake
because unlike you,

I know what's on Pawlak's phone.

You better get your a*s here,
and don't say no.

What?

Nothing.

I have to tell you something.

Well, go for it.

[pensive music playing]

I grabbed the f*cking cell phone
back at the riot.

It's totally wrecked, though.

I mean, do you think we can fix it?

We can do anything.

[sighs]

Let's see the phone.

Sure.

Okay, there.

It'll take time, you know.

Yeah? How long?

Long enough, I'd say.

[tense music playing]

[Nowak] Kamińska.

f*cking hell.

Madejski.

What? What was that bullshit?

You wanted to frame one of my guys.

[clears throat]

I did see something, you know?
Heard something.

And now it's confirmed that...

-Kamil was being set up.
-[Madejski] Yeah?

-And what exactly did you hear?
-For f*ck's sake.

You both tried to frame the kid.

So here's the deal.

I say one word...

and you two go to jail.
You're f*cked then.

Which means that now you're my pets
and you're on a very short leash.

And you only bark when
I give you the order, got it? Got it?

You'll help me
with something very important.

What's that? When and where?

Kamińska, that's what I want.
More of that drive.

-Cut to the f*cking chase.
-I wasn't finished.

When I call,
you get here in five minutes.

No matter what.

Why so nervous?

You brought this on yourself.

[door opens, then closes]

You got something to say?

Thinking.

Make sure he's good, you'll get paid.

Ada. Just keep your cool.

Of course.

[Trepa] Kasia.

[Zawieja groans]

Kasia.

It's finished.

-Take a look.
-What?

Listen.

"I'm gonna need a few guys
next Saturday in the Port.

Anyone you trust. Money's good."

What's Nowak doing?

-You think it's a big load?
-Lanski was with Nowak.

I saw them arguing.
Not sure what about.

Whatever it is,
it's getting shipped to the Port.

[Trepa] Voice messages.

[Kamil] Don't talk to her,
she's from the police.

The cops are working with them.
They'll k*ll me.

f*ck. Who'd he mean, you think?

The cops, he said?

All right. Hear me out.

If you think it's a coincidence,
tell me.

Go on.

-Who was hiring Kamil?
-Nowak.

-What does Nowak deal with?
-Drugs, mainly.

What if Kamil was in too deep?

He was scared of someone, he said
not to cooperate with the police.

He was then k*lled by whose car?

Madejski's.

And who did you and I see show up
at Nowak's that night?

Madejski and Kamińska.

The story about the damaged cars,
who told us that?

And which, by the way,
were damaged by Lanski's guys.

Alicja's m*rder,
who was on the scene first?

Madejski.

And Kamińska.

And Kamińska stirred up
the crowd today,

which then made it hard
to get the phone.

[Hania] Yeah, I know,
it was really fun.

[girl] It was, but I wanna keep
practicing before we show anyone.

Maybe we can show my mom
and see what she thinks first?

-[Hania] Yeah, that's a good idea.
-[girl] Or we can show my mom.

Excuse me, ma'am.
Cab pick-up at your service.

Hi, Trepa! Bye!

[girls] Bye!

Hi.

-Hi there.
-Hello.

-So how was your day?
-It was okay. I had fun.

[pensive music playing]

-Don't wanna come inside tonight?
-No, it's okay. I have to learn...

that you don't want me there
all the time.

Anyway, you can take tomorrow off
if you want.

-[Hania] Bye, Trepa.
-Bye, Hania.

We should look into everything
we found.

-Kasia, Kasia, easy. Leave it to me.
-Talk to Pietrzak.

I've got this.
Just go and get some rest.

Mom, are you coming?

-Yeah.
-Anything else?

No.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

I'm glad you're here.

[car door closes]

-Come on. Let's go inside.
-Okay.

[foghorn blowing]

[ominous music playing]

[Zawieja] Mom.

[pensive music playing]

So will you tell him?

I...

I don't know yet.

How do you not know yet?

Is he not the father, you mean?

No, he's...

He's the father, yeah.

Of course it's Trepa.

Well, then, you'll feel a lot better
once you tell him the truth.

[ominous music playing]

[line ringing]

[cell phone buzzing]

-Hello?
-[Lea] Kasia?

-Help me.
-Lea?

Come over, please.

What's going on?

Look, they...
They gave me an ultimatum.

-Wait, who gave you an ultimatum?
-Lanski.

Lanski.
He just said they're close by.

-Where are you right now?
-I'm begging you, come to the center.

I don't know what's going to happen.

They might k*ll me.
I need help. Hurry.

Okay, I will.

[pensive music playing]

[sighs]

g*dd*mn it.

-[man 1] Did you want one?
-[man 2] Yeah.

-Yeah, you only got one left?
-No, it's fine. I got another one.

Good evening. Sergeant Zawieja.

I'm looking for Lea Aksimov.

She'll be in the laundry room now.

-Down the hall, to the right.
-Okay, thank you.

[intriguing music playing]

[music turns suspenseful]

-I'm sorry.
-What? What is...?

-[dramatic music playing]
-[Zawieja grunting]

[Marek] Not bad.

[suspenseful music playing]

-f*ck off! You're not going anywhere.
-[shouts]

What do you mean? Hold on
a second, you said I could go.

-Change of plans!
-No! You said I would see her.

-I want to...
-I said, change of plans!

[van starting]

[screaming]

[intriguing music playing]
