PREVIOUSLY...

If you'd caught the killer, she'd still be alive!

Concentrate on this case and this case only, got it?

And what if I wasn't right?

If the same bloke killed her who killed Patai?

I've had enough!

I believe your brother didn't admit it to you, but to others...

He loved that girl, that's all I know.

His son was important to him.

He wanted him. Why would he have killed?

To fucking...

...get out of my head!

Calm down!

Fuck this shit!

Stop it!

Cognac?

What do you want from me?

I need you to help me with his appeal.

You need to watch his every step and report on him.

I'm not doing that. And I'm not always with him.

I've got to report on you.

I trusted you. I trusted your integrity and you fucked me over!

You wanted to believe he's guilty

and you manufactured a murderer!

I hit her.

And I wanted to kill her.

It's your fault...

EPISODE IV

Can I come in?

Is that you? That's a relief.

I just...

brought back your umbrella.

As a peace offering.

That's not your style.

No. But it suits me.

Okay, let me have it.

No. No, no! Not with you.

I can't.

No, no, no. Leave me alone!

Stop it!

It wouldn't work anyway.

-Hi, Magda. -Hi, Pali.

-I like your hair! -Thanks!

-You got a light? -Sure.

-Pisti? -He's not coming.

He's out, the bus takes 20 minutes.

Can I give you a lift?

Yes. Thanks...

Nóra?

She's still scared.

She should come over to ours sometime!

What?

Pali! What are you doing?

Pali! Stop it!

Pali!

Don't!

No! Pali, no! Don't!

You are creating false connections, Zoltán.

No one will congratulate you... if the truth gets out.

I hope you know how far you can go!

You mustn't undermine the public's faith in the legal system.

You can't pull cases in that take your fancy.

It means that the case is closed.

Hello, chief! I brought the truck in for repair.

Laci! Hi!

She was clearly strangled, just like the others.

But there's something odd.

-The breasts are cut off. -Something else.

We found concrete evidence.

Where? What? Tell me!

The woman had microscopic splinters of security glass under her nails.

We don't know how they got there.

When she put up a fight or when he moved her.

We'll find out.

Comrade Szirmai.

Take a look...

Yeah.

All the drivers are suspects.

I want the travel records of all the local drivers!

-Understood! -Thank you!

-What's wrong? -Nothing.

I had a bad dream and I've got a headache.

I'll be back tonight.

What is it, Mummy?

Nothing... you go and pack your schoolbag...

Okay.

-Anything yet? -Nothing!

-That's impossible. -I told you, the idiots hoovered it.

It's there, we just haven't found it yet.

Here...

Could you give me a hand?

-Did you check under the seat? -Even around the gearstick.

Tweezers!

Hello.

What's going on?

They're questioning everybody, especially the drivers.

-Afternoon, is your husband home? -No.

What is it, Mom?

Nothing, they're here for your father, go!

-Can we ask you a few questions? -Come on in!

Can you show me his work clothes?

The ones he wears to work... Bring them here!

-Is that all? -And what he's wearing now.

When was the last time you washed these?

I don't wash the jacket often, but the rest last week.

-Where is the key for this? -My husband has it.

-Do you know Mrs. Szegedi? -Who?

Mrs. Szegedi.

I haven't heard the name.

Her maiden name was "Magda Ébner."

Yes, she was my wife's classmate.

What were you doing on the evening of June 19th?

I was home with my wife.

And will she verify that?

Yes. Feel free to ask her.

And if you finally find her attacker...

...she might speak more willingly.

Okay. Go out to the yard and wait.

When can I go? I've got animals to feed.

I can't say. But you have to wait.

Am I a suspect?

Not for now, just wait!

Pál Bognár, I'm arresting you!

Let the bastard die!

And what happens to Réti?

What is he doing?

We need his confession.

Got you! Finally got you!

You fucker!

And you killed Erzsébet Patai, too.

-I know it was you. -You know now.

You're a bit late, aren't you?

Bóta! Enough! Enough!

You'll never question another suspect!

He fucked my life up!

But we caught him now, man.

And he will confess in time, but we cannot make him!

Those times are over.

-Are you sure? -As long as I'm the prosecutor here.

I doubt it.

It was done by that sad loser, not me.

But it was interesting.

What makes him a loser?

He's a moron who cannot keep his guilt at bay.

And you can?!

I do.

What was so interesting about Réti's actions?

The way he did it.

It was so simple.

Did you see it?

I was there when they reconstructed it with Marika.

She's a hard one to forget too.

Why didn't you rape the others?

It makes you excited?

No, but we need to understand.

-Have you ever raped anyone? -No.

-Then how can you understand? -I can't.

You shouldn't. It's disgusting.

But I try.

I tried to get it out of my head, but I couldn't...

...for years.

Was it such a bad memory?

I could only do it with Nóra if I thought of them.

Why didn't you have sex with the others?

I didn't even try with them.

Didn't your wife notice anything?

She was happy I didn't want to screw other women.

She could teach me, baby me, to be the one in charge.

I was nervous on the honeymoon that she'd be disappointed.

Disgusted.

But she was relieved.

Then helped me. A lot.

Just like my victims.

I'd only met her twice, but I knew she'd be my wife.

I told her that.

She agreed.

It was the happiest moment of my life.

Then at home in bed at night. I tried myself.

I wanted to make sure it would be all okay.

I had a lover earlier... Erzsébet Patai.

Well, not exactly my lover.

But we called each other that.

I taught her to ride a motorbike,

but then she got bored that nothing happened between us.

She was...

she was a hot woman, you know?

That's how it came to my mind.

I waited for her by the factory.

It was only two weeks until the wedding and I was very excited.

Ákos Réti came to wait for her.

I followed them, and they had an argument.

Ákos wanted to kiss her and grab her breasts,

but Erzsi pulled away.

Ákos was left standing.

But I went after her.

She was upset and wouldn't talk to me,

but I was attentive.

She told me her problems and I told her mine.

She caressed me,

and she helped me take my trousers off.

She only pulled her skirt up...

but I couldn't get an erection.

So I asked her to show me her breasts.

She took her bra off... but still nothing.

She laughed at me.

Stood up, put her clothes on and left.

I followed her,

and I found a metal bar by the tracks...

...that is used to secure them.

I caught up with her,

she turned around,

and I hit her over the head.

And then I finally got hard.

I wanted her to stroke me but she wasn't moving.

And where's that metal now?

By the rails not far from the Csesz trench.

And we looked for an axe!

What makes you do this?

You'll never figure it out!

There are some things we can never get close to.

My son?

Where is my son?

His mother didn't want him to see you right away.

Hello, Marika.

Comrade Szirmai!

Juhász?

Ahh...

Come in!

Hello, Juhász.

Hello! You've got a good tan...

And I wasn't out of the water all week!

-Anything? -Katona called you five times...

-I'll go and see him. -That won't be easy.

They transferred him to Borsod...

...and demoted him back to prosecutor.

-Bóta? -He moved to Zala.

What?! Why?

They pensioned him off.

As part of the Soviet-Czechoslovak pact signed in Prague on October 16,

after having served our internationalist duties, our troops set back home.

And after two months away from home, our soldiers...

And you?

Me?

I'm staying... here.

Congratulations!

The neighbors know that I'm innocent, right?

Only Bognár was in the papers. It's an embarrassing subject for everyone.

And you haven't told them?

We don't talk much.

-Ákos, where are you going? -I'd like to be alone.

You can't walk away!

Stop, do you hear me?!

You can't leave me!

I've been waiting for you for years.

Everybody will know the truth eventually.

Sure.

But until then?

I don't know.

Is that all freedom is?

Not much.

I'm going to get used to it, right?

That's what prosecutor Katona wanted too.

What is it?

Too tight.

You can take them off.

After spending ten years in prison,

Ákos Réti was found not guilty but never rehabilitated.

He died a few years after his release.
