Original subtitles

- I didn't kill those women. - I know. I believe you.

- Nobody believes me. - I do.

The District Court in Opole finds the defendant Piotr Wolnicki

not guilty of the charges against him.

What, you switched to older women?

Sure, you had to unwind. But with her, after all these years?

If you don't divorce me, I'll destroy you.

The only reason you're alive is that you're the mother of my children.

Jola...

Jola!

Are you with me or against me?

There's no third option.

- Are you covering for a criminal? - I found someone who is helping Wolnicki.

I would never hurt you.

Go ahead, kill me.

You made her a murderer. Enough! Let her go.

Come on, shoot!

You'd like that, huh?

Mrs. Wolnicka?

That's me. Why?

ANGEL OF DEATH

Three criminals are at large because of you.

- You let them escape. - Three?

Yes, Mrówiec. Three.

Are you deaf?

Wolnicki, his chick and former lieutenant Polkowska.

Great! So you agree that Wolnicki is a criminal who needs to be arrested.

That's progress.

Shut it, or you'll be looking for work as a shop assistant.

Only Wolnicki's girlfriend knows the truth about him.

But we can't question her because Polkowska is hiding her.

- May I? - Do you know where they are?

- I don't. - Then you may not.

Wrońska?

This is your last chance.

We'll try to contact them but...

The woman, Liliana Pelc, won't testify unless we give her protection.

She must feel safe.

I'm not going to negotiate with murderers.

Piotr Wolnicki's wife and her children are here.

May I interrogate her?

You may not.

Get the fuck out.

- Now? - I said, "Get the fuck out"!

You got him?

No. He's disappeared.

Have you got a deal with the chief?

I'm trying, but it will take time.

- Be honest. - Agnieszka...

She's a killer. No one will let her be a crown witness.

I promised her protection.

Bring her here, and then we'll see what we can do.

Not an option. I'll call tomorrow at the same time.

Aga, wait. Where are you?

In a motel outside Ożarów. We'll be leaving soon.

I'll try to press the chief, okay?

All right. Thanks.

The longer she runs, the more she'll be screwed.

They'll lock her up.

She has to stop hiding.

- Did they get him? - No.

But there's a good chance they'll get you protection.

- Will they make me a crown witness? - It won't be easy.

You've done terrible things.

Two people are dead.

He made me do it.

- I know. - You have no evidence.

I'll tell them everything under oath, but I have to get immunity.

He'll be locked up, I'll walk free. That was our deal, right?

- Right? - Yeah, that was our deal.

Jasiu? Are you all right?

Jasiu? Are you here?

- What have you got there? - I found it at the airport.

I think dad left it.

Did you see him?

Give them the phone.

Don't tell them about this.

I understand how difficult it must be for you two.

We're here to help you.

May I?

Has he left anything else?

No. This is everything.

He must have thought he would be able to contact you.

Thank you for handing this over. It will help us catch him faster.

For now, don't leave the country.

You'll get protection.

Thank you.

I should thank you.

It was a very mature thing to do.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Goodbye.

What are you doing here? Are you fucking crazy?

They might be watching you. Go away.

I talked to Suzin. There's a chance you won't go to prison.

You'll get fired but you'll walk free.

Under one condition: you have to turn yourselves in now.

What about her?

She has to testify. Then we'll see.

No. You have to guarantee.

Not a chance.

Bye, then.

What now? Are you going to ride around in circles?

Write a guide around the Mazovian Lowland?

- Get out of my way. - This is a mistake.

Go to the station and tell them you arrested her.

Whose side are you fucking on? Mine?

Yours.

Don't move! Stop! This is the police!

Police! Hands up!

Turn around!

Put your hands on the car.

You betrayed me.

- I didn't know about this. - I won't testify! I won't say a word!

- Think about it! Only you can stop him! - Nothing can stop him!

No talking!

Hey, it was the right thing to do.

Then why do I feel like shit?

Janek, you're almost an adult now, and I know I can trust you.

I'll be back soon and I'll prove how wrong everyone was.

I need your help now.

Give the police the phone and the SIM card whose number ends with five.

Hide the second SIM card well.

When no one is looking, put it in your phone.

You'll find my number there.

First, send me your photo.

Give the figurine to your mum but don't tell her anything else.

No one can know that you're helping me.

I love you so much and I miss you.

Dad.

ONE YEAR LATER

Oh, and some cigarettes, please.

The cheapest ones.

- Do you have money? - I do.

That'll be 12.90 złotys.

Sorry, I only have ten.

Then why the fuck are you bothering me?

Well, maybe that's for the best. Smoking kills.

Goodbye.

Hey, you! Want some bear?

I'm talking to you! Want some beer?

Here, have some.

Oh, it spilled.

That's a tasty chocolate. Can you afford it?

I'm talking to you!

What the fuck?

- The piece of shit pushed you! - I'll kill the motherfucker!

Get him!

Hold him!

Now what, you fucking thief, huh?

We don't need a piece of shit like you here.

Now what, fucker? Huh?

Where did you get that? Huh?

- You fucking stole it too? - Let go of it!

- You let go, or I'll kill you! - Let go of it!

Let go of it! Let go!

- Fucking kill him! - Leave him.

Let the fuck go of me! Kill him!

- Leave him alone. - Let me fucking go!

Let him go!

Can you stand up?

Thanks.

I'm Artur.

I'm Paweł.

People like us have to help each other. Are you hungry?

Some water.

Relax.

I'll light the stove and we'll have a warm meal.

Shall I help you?

- You can tell I'm not a lumberjack, huh? - No, you're doing fine.

But you've got hands of a man coming from a big city.

Mine are the same.

Fingers made for art, not hard work.

I used to be an organist in a church in Srebrna Góra.

I used to play too. The piano.

I could have been an organist instead.

And who are you?

A sinner.

Want some more?

Thanks. I can't remember having so much to eat.

May I?

Do you have a favorite passage?

Read it.

"Jesus said to him:

'Very truly I tell you,

no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again'.

Nicodemus asked"...

"'How can someone be born when they are old?

Surely, they cannot enter a second time into their mother's womb to be born!'"

That's incredible!

Before I sinned...

I was a priest.

This is my wife.

Karolina.

We moved to Srebrna Góra together.

We used to live close to God.

But then she cheated on me.

She apologized. She said it had been a one-time thing.

But I knew our marriage was dead.

I left home just like that. I couldn't bear looking at her.

- When was it? - Almost a year ago.

Not that long ago, then. Do you miss her?

Forgive her.

Go back home.

I should leave.

Hey!

Sometimes, I need to do some shopping.

I don't want to go down to the village myself.

Solitude is the atonement for my sins.

Could you buy me some food every so often?

- I don't have any money. - Wait.

Yeah. This should be enough.

Buy whatever you want.

I'm not picky.

Paweł?

What's the atonement for?

What kind of sin was it?

Pride.

It all started with small things.

My husband washes more often.

He didn't like cosmetics before. Now he uses perfume every day.

Then he started disappearing for whole weekends.

He didn't answer my phone calls.

He said he went on business trips. He lied. He went away with his mistress.

WOMAN KILLED OUTSIDE RZESZÓW

Once, when I wasn't home, our neighbor saw a woman...

- A woman leaving his home. Our home. - Uh-huh.

An older one. Uglier than me.

Are you even listening?

Yes, I am. I'm sorry.

Are you sure your husband had a mistress?

You know what? I'm not surprised you were fired from the police.

Goodbye.

Did your husband have problems with alcohol?

He used to.

But he quit when our kids were born. Why are you asking?

Because I think those business trips are really alcohol benders.

He washes more often and uses perfume to cover the smell of alcohol.

And the older woman was a nurse who helped him with detox.

How do you know?

Just talk to your husband.

AGNIESZKA POLKOWSKA, PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR

Hello, this is Agnieszka Polkowska, private investigator.

I've got some questions about the murder of a young woman a week ago.

I have a suspect.

I wanted to know if she was lying naked and in any particular posi...

You got him?

Uh-huh.

He confessed.

All right, I understand. Thank you.

I'd like to talk to my grandma. Could you wait here please?

I'm sorry I hadn't told you before, but I was afraid you would want to come.

There were lots of undercover cops at the funeral.

They waited for you.

Grandma died in her sleep.

She just fell asleep and didn't wake up.

But she had been very sad lately.

I think the whole situation tired her out.

Mum testified against Lila.

She told them that Lila had wanted to poison her and kidnap us.

She didn't say a thing about you.

Mum says Lila will go to prison anyway, for what she did to us.

I didn't tell them anything.

They're still waiting for you to text that other number.

There's no way they'll catch you. They're too weak.

Dad, contact me. I miss you.

And some ciggies, please.

No, the stronger ones.

Two. Two packs.

- Hello. - Hello.

Thanks!

WHERE IS PIOTR W? IS THE MURDERER AS INNOCENT AS A LAMB?

Hello.

Thank you very much. Put it here.

Do you still have money or do you need some more?

Will you stay? Have something to eat?

No, I won't.

I'll come next week.

You vowed to live in solitude, after all.

Yeah, that's right.

Has something happened?

Have they bothered you again?

Did you really use to be a priest?

Why are you asking?

Your name is not Paweł, right?

It is.

I took on this name when I met Christ.

Just like Saul did on his way to Damascus.

Don't be afraid.

I won't give you away.

Thank you.

You know what?

You have to go back home.

I'll help you.

How can I help you?

Cranberry juice, please. No alcohol.

Here you go.

Ewelina!

Where are you going?

I can see you're busy.

Yeah, I've met some friends. I didn't know they would be here.

Sure. I wouldn't want to impose.

You're not imposing.

You wanted to talk. What is it?

- Actually, it's not that important. - What, are you jealous?

No. Why would I? We have a simple deal, right?

Pleasure, no strings attached.

Pleasure, that's right.

But a deal? Einmal ist keinmal.

Einmal? Seriously?

I'd say zweimal or dreimal .

- I forgot how great your German is. - It is.

Better than your French.

- You wanted to talk. - Yeah.

You know, it's a bit awkward because...

- I am... - You look great.

Excuse me.

Yeah?

Really?

Wolnicki wrote a text.

"Son, I'm so scared. Someone recognized me. I have to run.

Pray for me"?

I'm deeply moved. Have you located him?

Yes, I have.

A forest in a small village. Somewhere in the Tuchola Pinewoods.

About four hours from here.

- Let's go then. - But why is he doing this?

No idea. So that his son prays for him?

Maybe he wants to provoke us.

- You think he knows we've got his number? - For sure.

We have to verify this anyway.

Let's get a team and go. Give me one hour.

Where are you going?

To change clothes. You should too.

You said I looked good.

- You want to tell her, huh? - I have to.

I've planned everything.

A couple of months, half a year tops, and I'll come. Promise.

What will have changed in half a year?

You know, I have to earn money.

I would rather not start from scratch in the UK.

Yeah, it's expensive here. How much do you earn?

You'd be surprised.

A lot more than in the police.

People hire private investigators for the stupidest things.

Besides, it gives me more options.

Yeah, like I said:

I'll have earned some money in a couple of months,

I'll find a job in the UK and everything will be fine.

What is it?

You know it as well as I do. Let's just give it a rest, okay?

What do you mean?

You won't come until you have caught Wolnicki,

and it will never happen.

Come on. I moved on from Wolnicki.

- I've forgotten about him. - Uh-huh.

Who's that? A client?

Probably. Like I said, I have a lot of work.

- I'll call you later, okay? - Bye.

- I'm closed. - Aga, wait.

This is important.

I don't care what it is, Captain.

Congratulations on being promoted for getting me fucking fired.

- Thanks. - Yeah.

Actually, you should have been made chief for what you've done.

I'm on the right track.

Nice.

I'm on Wolnicki's trail.

Where are you going? Sit inside and don't come out.

What if I have to pee?

- If chief sees you, he'll demote me again. - Tempting.

Sit inside.

We're right at the source of the signal.

Secure the perimeter!

Clear.

Blood.

PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR LICENSE

You must know everyone around here.

Has there been a stranger here recently?

There have been some bums and tramps.

But I don't know everyone's names.

- No? - No.

- You haven't seen him. - I haven't.

He might have changed. It's an old photo. Have you seen someone similar?

No. Doesn't ring a bell.

- Where do those bums and tramps live? - Here and fucking there.

- Mostly in the forest. - Uh-huh.

Oh! There is this one suspicious guy.

- Suspicious? Why? - Well...

First, he didn't have any money. Now he's buying everything I have here.

Maybe he's stolen from somebody. Or killed someone.

What's his name, and where can I find him?

What did I tell you?

The lady needs to be questioned.

She definitely will.

We've found a body.

Don't touch anything.

Someone has chopped the guy into pieces...

and burnt his body.

It's all charred. It will be difficult to identify him.

Blood.

It's on the ax too. The perp didn't clean it.

Any trace of Wolnicki?

- The phone he used? - In the furnace. Melted next to the body.

What a sight!

What's that?

Huh!

Tom Thumb, huh?

Yeah. Is that your new nickname?

No, it's Finger Tingler.

Very funny.

The chief will be here in 30 minutes.

You'd better scram.

I don't have a car.

It all has to be taken to Warsaw anyway.

And the pathologist needs to be rushed.

Do you have any water?

I don't, but there's a gas station nearby.

I have to stop.

Want a tissue?

Thanks.

Has it disturbed you this much? Haven't you seen worse?

How many months?

Two.

Yes, Tomek is the father. But he still doesn't know.

I didn't have an opportunity to tell him. Besides...

We're not together and we'll never be. You don't have to worry.

Me?

It's not my business.

Cut the bullshit. I know you were together.

Hello?

Yes.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, I'm dropping her off and going to the pathologist.

Okay. I'll call you.

Have they got anything?

Having examined the crime scene and questioned the witnesses,

the chief has a hypothesis.

I wonder.

If the body examination confirms it, we'll close the case.

Let me secure this too. All right.

- Now you can hang yourself. - You hang yourself.

Mommy!

Mom, look at me! Are you looking?

Mom, I'm flying!

Who is that punk?

You're not allowed to see him.

You don't even know him.

My daughter should have some self-respect!

Is that clear?

Look me in the eye and promise!

Mommy!

Mom, I'm flying! Mom!

Look at me!

Most of the remains were burnt beyond the possibility of identification.

No teeth, no jaw fragments.

That's odd. What about the toe and the blood?

It's him.

The DNA tests made it clear that they were Wolnicki's.

Based on this, the chief decided to close the case and inform the media.

Inform them of what?

Aga, it's finished. He's dead and you know it.

IN LOVING MEMORY PIOTR WOLNICKI

In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Ashes to ashes.

Dust to dust.

I can't believe it. It's too simple.

Some bum killed him with an ax?

Do you wish you had done it?

You don't have the guy.

- We're looking. - Uh-huh.

Well, Agnieszka, you'll have to find a new goal in your life.

Just tell me you don't believe it.

Let's make haste to chase murderers. They pass away too soon.

Mrs. Wolnicka, good afternoon. How are you feeling?

- Please leave us alone. - Are you angry with the police?

Your husband was not proven guilty, but he had to hide,

and he was brutally assaulted...

- What are you doing? This is a child. - The lady doesn't want to talk.

- You're family, right? - Just let her grieve.

Then please tell me...

We're not available for interviews. Goodbye.

Do you want me to be rude?

Thank you.

You don't recognize me, huh?

Leszek?

- Take Helena to our car. - Come on.

I'm sorry to disturb you.

I've just come back to Poland.

I've heard about everything.

I thought you might need some help.

SREBRNA GÓRA

- Praised be Jesus Christ. - Forever and ever.

I'm Paweł. I've heard you're looking for an organist.

That's right! I'll get the parson.
