Original subtitles

The grandparents had bought insurance in Salus.

The child was the beneficiary.

- Who inherits after her? - Her father.

Robert Horwat, that's your official name, isn't it?

- And Bukano? A gypsy nickname? - My wife was Polish.

When we got married, I got excluded from my community.

- The sum? - 1 million.

The gypsy will never get the money. Be ready to destroy him in court.

Domestic violence, anything will do.

I need something, or the old man won't stop nagging. My exam's in 2 days.

- You've lost control. - Only the weak fear losing control.

She's like a grenade with no safety pin.

You're all heartless, that's why I left.

As far as I remember, you were fired.

Biological matter under the victim's nails.

- Who is it? - The husband, it seems.

Those marks on your back are a result of rough sex.

Keep clear of that gypsy's case.

You've already tried freeing a murderer.

- Are you a Salus board member? - I'm a partner.

Chylka has nothing to lose. She wants to humiliate Zelazny & McVay.

So make sure she does have something to lose.

You know, when I take an interest in someone's family, it can end badly.

Sweet Daria, you've got a very kind heart.

- I have to go. - See you later.

You still have to pass your administrative law exam,

as well as the one on legal ethics. Time starts now.

I'm afraid we have to stop the exam.

Everyone must leave the room at once.

THE DEFENCE

No pasaran.

I left it all for them. My family, friends...

- And for what?

Nothing matters anymore. All I want is to know who...

Please,

help me find that motherfucker and lock him up.

And the insurance money, that doesn't matter to you?

You're a real gadjo. All you care about is money.

I won't lie, it's important to me, but it's more than that.

Yeah? What is it then?

I've got unfinished business.

I won't be taken advantage of. I'll find another lawyer.

Right, as if there was a queue of lawyers eager to defend a gypsy?

I'm the best you've got.

Others probably don't stink of vodka in the morning.

And what do you smell of, flowers?

I have a reason to drink.

And I just like it.

Leave.

I came to see my family.

- Right, but what really happened? - Nothing, just a false alarm.

I bet some shithead hadn't prepared, so they called in a bomb scare.

What now?

What do you think? They cancelled the exam.

- When can you take it again? - After the summer.

- Give me a shot. - Make it two.

Three.

Let's have six then.

- You're wasted. - Exactly.

- Can we talk? - Couldn't you have called?

- I did, tens of times. - And did I pick up?

There you go. What do you want?

Langer's behind Salus.

Langer's behind Salus.

You weasel.

You scumbag, you fucking traitor!

- What are you talking about? - You haven't said a word.

- This motherfucker's in Salus? - It's no secret.

Anyone could look that up.

Can I come in?

Chylka!

I believe that due to current circumstances, our firm...

Act like I'm not here.

We haven't called for you.

Keep going.

As I said, I believe that due to current circumstances,

we shouldn't accept Mr Horwat's claim.

Chair, haven’t we agreed to pay out,

given the media interest in the case?

According to our lawyers, that won't be necessary,

especially now that the police suspect him

of committing this horrendous crime.

These are still just suspicions. If untrue, our image could suffer.

And since when do we ladle the money out?

A few negative words in local rags won't do us any harm.

No need to worry.

And what about Chylka?

Forgive me, Piotr, but you're still a non-voting member.

We used to work with your father. He'd never harm the firm.

My father's dead.

As far as I'm concerned, these days Chylka does nothing but drink.

How could she harm us?

Yes. You're right, Chair.

Mr Horwat should not receive any money from us.

See there?

That's the stuff on that gypsy. There's not much, but it's something.

What's up?

- We've got a problem. - Me? Not at all.

Apart from a little hangover which is all your fault.

- Langer wants me to... - That's a great intro.

Here comes the apocalypse. Sorry for interrupting, go on.

Langer wants me to fuck Chylka over.

\Ne could just poison him, or plant drugs at his place and call the police.

Can you find stuff on her? No.

Help me. No way.

Would you rather he'd pushed her away from the case himself?

- What are you doing? - Calling her.

- We need to warn her. - She's in no state to win with him.

I'm afraid you might be right.

- So what's your plan? - Not sure yet.

I’m surprised you're with me on this, sir.

Declined.

Let's try this one.

- It's a shame he's dead. - True, but what can you do?

- Thank you. - Cheers.

Thank you, Counsellor.

I've got something for you.

No chance I'm sleeping with you tonight.

It's about Bukano.

- Tell me. - Not over the phone.

You and your secrets.

- The usual place, in an hour. - OK.

Things aren't good.

Every drunk's best friend.

Leave your message after the tone.

I won't make it tonight, Szczerba. Let's meet tomorrow.

Sleep.

Sleep.

- Police! On the ground! - I need to see your hands!

Hands up, now!

Stand up!

Turn around and get on your knees. Show me your hands and don't move.

You're coming with us.

...flat sea holly with its pale blue flowers that attract insects.

- Prosecutor. - I can't tell you much.

We've detained Robert H. from Warsaw.

Has the detainee been arrested?

He remains under our custody, a precautionary measure.

Is he the victims' husband and father?

At this stage, I cannot give you any more details. Thank you.

- Police! On the ground! - Show me your hands.

Fuck.

UNKNOWN NUMBER 9 MISSED CALLS

Leave your message after the tone.

Find something on Zakierska for me.

I wish I could. Is this a joke?

That was a test. What's up? Why did you call?

Just wanted to know how you were. I miss you and I worry about you.

- Right. How's the firm? - All right.

Zelazny quarrels with McVay and Kordian's our new star.

- Fucking Kordian, right? - Indeed.

We miss you. Come and visit us at some point.

Will do.

- She's plastered? - What?

Is she plastered?

Hey, what are you going to do?

Daria's told me her auntie's been calling her at night, speaking funny.

Gents, he's insane. This nutcase's been following me.

- Listen to me. - Get lost.

- Listen to me - Get lost.

- Calm down. - Fuck off.

- OK, OK. - You deaf or what? Piss off.

Get out of here, dickhead.

Your ID, Counsellor.

- You've been waiting for me? - Your ID.

And blow here for me.

OK. Thanks for the info.

- She's been detained. - Happy now?

Kormak, you know it had to be done.

Mate, you've betrayed her in the nastiest way possible.

She'll never forgive you, even if you got her a private Iron Maiden gig.

- Actually, it's not me, but us. - No, don't you dare.

So you'd rather Langer dealt with her?

- What's she looking at? - A hefty fine.

Nice, mate. That car was her severance package.

If she has to sell it, she'll be fucking raging.

Suspension from duty, up to 2 years in prison,

or, best case scenario, revoking the right to practise law.

Best case scenario? She'll kill herself, and you.

Kormak, we didn't force her to fucking drive.

She'd have done the same if she were us.

Nice one, mate. Do you really believe that?

Buchelt wants to see you.

You did your homework?

Justice will always find its way, won't it?

She's been arrested.

Driving under the influence is one of the worst things one could do.

- Isn't it, Kordian? - There's worse stuff.

I always knew she'd get sacked and hit rock bottom.

I kept warning them, but nobody listened.

Sit the fuck down, or I'll do it for you.

Sorry.

Fucking Chylka.

- What? - Fucking Chylka.

Chylka? Didn't know you were that important.

How did you get her?

- She's just blown me off. - If she's alive, she hasn't.

Even if you've killed your entire family.

Hold on to her. She's your chance of winning.

- Hello, madam. - Hello.

Kordian Oryriski. I'm his supervisor.

- Hello. - Hello.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Pick anything you like, you're our guest.

Have you heard that Chylka's been arrested for drunk driving?

Really?

What a disgrace.

- Are you ready to order yet? - I'll have a Chablis 2018.

Great choice. What about you, sirs?

Moelleux au Chocolat for me.

- Same for me. - Wonderful.

Chylka's always been toxic.

- Can we stop talking about her? - Good idea.

- Let's get down to business. - We're all on the same side.

- Kind of. - We all care about justice.

We've been collecting evidence to prove

that our client's exempt from honouring the insurance claim.

Our evidence matches what you're trying to prove.

You want to see him sentenced, so do we.

- And? - We've done some research.

Turns out that the day before Patrycja Horwat and the girl died,

Bukano had reached out to his old community.

Nothing unusual about that, but he hadn't spoken to them for years.

Who did he speak to, exactly?

OK, I see. What do you want?

Thank you.

- Bukano's case affects our one. - We need a quick sentence.

I don't see why not.

- That's Koro. - His pal.

School pals, as one would say, but gypsies don't often attend.

DO YOU DRINK AND DRIVE? CAN YOU NOT REMEMBER THINGS?

FIRST MONDAY OF EACH MONTH MEETING OPEN TO ALL

- You were driving whilst... - What's the result?

There was less than 0.5%o alcohol in your blood.

- An offence then. - Nothing to be happy about.

A tenth more, and you'd have to say goodbye to your old life.

- Can I go now? - Yes.

You no doubt know the consequences, Counsellor.

Your car will be at the car park. Bring someone sober with you.

An offence.

What now, going to get her beaten up or hire a hitman?

You don't have to trust me, but I feel relieved.

I'd rather work the defence with her.

Cut the crap. Nobody believes you. Now off you go.

- What took you so long? - I got arrested for drink-driving.

- You really did that? - We need a strategy.

A criminal case sentence may affect the insurance.

- Will I get acquitted? - Did you do it?

We've been through this, remember? Were you drunk then too?

No, I just need to hear all the details again.

Let's start with the night before they found the bodies.

Sorry, I mean your wife and daughter.

You told the police you'd wandered around town. Anyone see you?

Lots of people.

I came back around 2am.

That's when you and your wife had a bit of a rough play, right?

- No, that was before. - You saw them in the morning?

No, I was asleep.

I was to pick up Aisza from her GP's at noon.

- Patrycja was'-going to drive her there?

- What time? - I guess around noon.

You guess? No guessing, Bukano. Focus, they were found dead.

You came back home on the day and never noticed they were gone?

- I don't know. - What do you mean by that?

Patrycja and I have a rule. "Had" a rule.

I'm drunk, I sleep in the kitchen.

Right.

I'll work with what I've got, but if you've hidden anything from me,

the prosecutor will dig it out.

And at the moment, I have no tools to dig as deep as they can, get it?

Thank you.

You don’t look too well.

I'll take my remedy as soon as I leave.

- What seems to be the problem? - Aisza Horwat.

- I can't talk about my... - She's dead.

I know. I've seen on TV.

- Terrible tragedy. - It is.

She was brutally raped and murdered.

Her father is the suspect, and I'm defending him.

I can't show you any documents.

I understand, but you could blink,

or show me a sign when I ask if her father had molested her.

- That's against my code of conduct.

And assaulting patients isn't?

What?

- Leave at once. - I will.

I can also get you your own Me-Too campaign,

which will leave you wanting to change professions.

Aisza was still a virgin.

There are many ways to molest a child.

I'm no psychologist, but you can usually notice when that happens.

Slow down, I promise I won't eat from your plate.

Chylka's influence.

Can we eat elsewhere tomorrow?

But why?

Evening.

I don't think we've met.

- My name is... - I know who you are, sir.

Perfect. Kordian here still doesn't seem to get it.

I was told you’d be here, in Chylka's favourite place.

- Doesn't it brother you? - I've lost my appetite anyway.

Kordian, isn't she too pretty for you?

I don't know.

Maybe a little.

- What do you want? - I think you know.

It's not my fault she hadn't committed a crime.

She must disappear.

Why does Chylka bother you so? She's wasted most of the day anyway.

Do you really want me to take care of her?

Why do you want her off the case so much?

The gypsy will change his defence. I'll keep in touch.

Or what, you won't stop hounding me?

It's up to you.

OK, I don't want that.

- Who is it this time? - Everything's in the folder.

- Hello? - Hi there.

I need to go to Praga.

And since they took my licence off me,

I thought that you'd happily act as my chauffeur?

I can check the bus schedule for you.

- Public transport's not for me. - Take a taxi then.

But I need a bodyguard. I'm a bit scared to go on my own.

So why the hell are you going

I need to speak to Bukano's mates.

What will it be then?

Good luck.

Stop the car, sir.

Excuse me, do you know where Robert Horwat used to live?

Stop again, sir.

Wait for me, OK?

Ciawo.

- I'm looking for your man's family. - And?

- Bukano. Do you know him? - That's a common name.

I mean Robert Horwat.

Never heard of him.

- He's on trial. I'm his lawyer. - Are you fucking crazy?

- We won't tell you shit! - Wait up!

Get lost, fucking bitch.

Hello.

Don't do that, child.

- In public? A lady like you? - Sometimes there's no other way.

- These bums kicked me out. - Why are you wandering about?

I'm defending one of them. I hear his family used to live here.

There's a tenement over there which used to be full of gypsies.

Not sure what it's like now. I don't tend to leave often.

Don't.

Fine. For safekeeping.

For safekeeping.

Listen, I'm off to see gypsies and I could be killed tonight.

If I'm not back in an hour,

just follow the blood.

You might even find me at last.

What the fuck are you doing? You're wasted.

OK, I've had enough. Call me once you stop sulking.

- I'm defending one of... - Fuck off.

Bukano.

Speak to Koro, you lunatic.

- What do you want? - Got a fridge?

- I've already talked to one of yours.

- What's her name, Zakierska? - What did you tell her?

That I hadn't seen Bukano for ages.

Is that bleach?

He'd been here the day before it happened.

- What did he want? - To have a drink and talk.

He was in a bad way. Said it was a matter of life or death.

- That things weren't great. - "Things" meaning what?

He argued with his wife. She wanted to move out.

They'd yell at one another. That's what he said.

This affected his relationship with his girl. She wouldn't even talk to him.

How long have you been renovating?

- I forget the exact date. - Before or after Bukano visited?

Why does it matter?

Calm down, I'm just curious.

Can I get another beer?

Thank you for picking me up.

How are things progressing

You mean spying on Chylka? I've not been forging forward.

- Got anything? - Seems I can't handle the task.

Sure.

You think I'm slowing things down on purpose?

Aren't you?

- Well, I suggest you fuck off. - You seem mixed up about me.

So you're not the guy who wants to drive expensive cars

- and live in a shit-hot penthouse? - Fuck you.

I've worked my arse off to get admitted to the firm.

- I'm not backing out. - That's your problem.

It's either your money or Chylka. Make up your mind.

- I've told you, not at work. - But everyone's left.

How about we go out tonight?

I'm busy, don't you get it?

Sorry to impose.

Monia.

- What do you want? - We should meet.

- I'm busy. - It's about Salus.

The park, tomorrow at noon.

Hello?

You look nice.

Cut the crap. What have you got for me?

- I wanted to warn you. - What should I be afraid of?

There's no winning with Langer, the prosecutor and the firm.

Walk away and save face while you can.

What the fuck?

Walk away, me? That's why you're here?

You sent the police after me.

Fuck me.

This could be your last case, Chylka. You really want to lose it?

- Chylka. - Chylka my arse.
