Original subtitles

-Hello, Krysia. -Hello, Hania. All done?

Indeed. You're too tidy!

Good morning.

Monsieur Prosecutor.

Monsieur Procurer.

What's this?

Beata Rucińska.

Her blind colleague found her.

These are her fingerprints in the blood.

-Grandpa, how long will it take? -Two days.

What?

Two days.

They tape his favorite program here.

It's not a Christian radio.

Finally a warm crime scene.

Not some bushes in the outskirts.

It's not that cold.

I'm not that young.

When you take off your t-shirt, I put on my sweater.

My back feels so cold...

They even made me coffee.

Gunshot?

Yes.

Close range.

They left the murder weapon here.

Should we check for prints?

Just kidding.

Commissioner Witold Kielak. I'm with the prosecutor.

Kazimierz Proch, hello.

We have some questions.

When did you come to work?

Sometime...

before six o'clock.

My morning program starts at 6:00 a.m.

How did you find her?

I went to get my headphones and...

when I was reaching for them...

I touched her head.

Did you know her?

No, Beata worked the night shift.

We passed by each other.

Was she in a relationship? Someone from work?

Yes, a while ago...

there was something between her...

and one of the security guards here.

Do you remember his name?

No...

-Excuse me? -No.

Did anything else happen today?

Anything unusual?

Apart from finding a dead journalist in the studio?

No.

Thank you very much.

Just a minute...

It's...

First I met our cleaning lady Hania in the hallway.

Then I left the elevator on this floor.

Someone passed by me. I said hi, but they didn't answer...

-So? -It's strange.

Someone was there at that time and they didn't know me.

Otherwise they'd say hi.

I see.

Goal!

Sorry.

Bartek.

That's enough.

Do your homework.

Listen to Mom.

You only have one mom, she knows best.

Aren't you too comfortable?

How about some coffee?

You'll never change.

Make it yourself.

I'm washing the dishes.

We could go out...

And then...

Are you crazy?

Why?

We're divorced but we can still...

have some coffee, no funny business.

I know you inside out.

It's always funny business.

I'm too modest to deny.

I read that drinking coffee...

Stop it.

Thanks for taking care of the kids.

Pick them up on Thursday.

Damn, there'll be cracking noise.

Start an online auction.

It could be like a Ferrari 250 GTO.

Only 30 left in the world.

Young man, there's a rule.

You eat, you leave.

So the next person can eat.

It's an ongoing investigation.

Excuse me?

We're investigating.

In the cafeteria?

I'm afraid so.

Eight people died in the last two months.

-Ten people. -Ten.

What happened?

They use cabbage from China.

They say the chemicals there...

make your kidneys turn to stone.

Good Lord...

Lady, this is contaminated.

Are you crazy?

Our cabbage rolls contaminated?

Consider the gun.

Grandpa called. No prints.

They tend to throw it away.

This person wasn't afraid and left it.

Like a pro.

And the weapon type.

Tariq.

What?

Made in Iraq by Beretta for their Republican Guard.

Must be hard to buy one.

Our boys brought them more as collector's items.

Americans brought tons and sold them on the German black market.

You have one?

I use the official one.

The Glock's more handy.

Can you trace such a gun?

What good will it do to know it belonged to...

Ibin Salila Habidi of the Iraqi Republican Guard?

I'll interrogate him.

What are we missing then?

Someone passed by Krystyna, possibly the killer.

We need to check the cleaning lady.

Probably nothing, but we have to check.

Number three.

Here are the details...

of the victim's ex-boyfriend.

Check him out.

May I?

Go ahead.

Name?

Maciek Szterling.

Age?

Thirty-two.

Got a job?

In security. I'm a trainer.

-Were you in the army? -Yes.

Sixth Airborne Brigade.

Combat missions?

Among others.

Ghazni, Afghanistan.

Was it your first?

No.

I was in Al-Hilla in Iraq before that.

That girl, Beata.

How long did you date?

A year or so.

When did you break up?

Two, three months ago.

Why?

Sometimes people break up.

You took it bad?

Yeah, I cried in my bed.

No self-harm, if you must know.

Was she mad at you?

I don't know.

Maybe...

She acted up, like any normal chick.

Nothing special.

Do you have a gun?

No.

No?

-Nope. -No souvenirs from the East?

No.

This ain't yours?

No. What's this about?

Beata was killed with this weapon.

What?

You didn't know?

I mean...

My friend, a radio security guard told me she's dead.

She was shot?

Okay.

We'll do a discharge residue test.

What for?

You don't know?

He tested negative for gunpowder residue.

And the gun from the East?

You said he was in the army.

He can know how to cheat the test.

That's impossible.

He was authentically shocked when he heard she was shot.

Trinity needs to check out the PC.

Maciej Szterling, rings a bell?

Sure, we worked here together.

Did you tell him about her death?

Yes, I called him right away.

I knew they were a couple.

Let's see it.

Is that normal?

Yes, the elevator automatically goes down and opens.

Did you check before and after?

No, only the hour you asked for.

-Go back. -Of course.

Stop.

Holy shit.

It's Maciek.

Indeed.

No security guards?

He was patrolling the building.

It used to be two of us.

These days it's cheaper to install cameras.

So there were no cameras when Maciek worked here?

Not yet.

There are only two on the ground floor.

-Now what? -You're fucked.

You're under arrest for murder.

Get dressed, it's cold.

You need a warrant from the prosecutor.

Blow me.

We weren't introduced.

Prosecutor Kazimierz Proch, Śródmieście, Warsaw.

Enough of this.

What is this?

-I'm being arrested. -What?

They think I killed Beata.

That's absurd.

Get your ID.

Me?

Come to the police station.

-Me? -Yes, you.

What is it, you don't speak Polish?

Listen, this is a murder investigation.

You're making stuff up.

You're telling lies.

Do you know what that means?

-I'm not making anything up. -No?

You told me you saw her two months ago.

Okay, I lied... but I didn't kill her.

Sure.

I lied when I heard she was murdered.

I was afraid you'd link this to me.

Jesus...

Your sixth sense was right.

We linked you to this murder, didn't we?

You were on duty abroad.

She was shot with a gun from Iraq.

You left the building after the murder.

So you're lying.

You say you were stalked.

We know she was obsessed about you.

You have a motive.

What motive? What about the test?

I passed the residue test.

You think I'm that stupid?

To commit murder and walk out the front door?

Know why Polish prisons are full?

Why?

Because guys like you make such simple mistakes.

This is a request for a three-month arrest.

Take him away.

We've got the wrong guy.

Jesus, Kazik...

You're never sure.

To me it's clear.

I thought about what he said.

That he's not an idiot and he wouldn't just walk out.

He was on active duty.

He should be impervious to stress.

Trust me, I was there.

Nobody is impervious to stress.

You saw him on the camera footage.

He was shocked.

Something's not right here.

Something's missing.

Look.

Only one witness says...

that someone was there that morning.

Krystyna.

-Who found the body? -Krystyna.

No way.

She's blind.

Excuse me.

WITNESS KRYSTYNA RADIO

Hello?

Yes?

I found a recording for you.

It was a scheduled recording.

The beginning is missing.

It's horrible.

I asked you to forget it.

-Now? -In general.

I can tell... everyone.

About what?

What do you mean?

What happened during your mission.

Stop it.

You know that...

you go to prison for murder.

Did you know that?

Think you can blackmail me?

Yes... are you scared?

Excuse me.

The last scream is me.

Do you know when this was recorded?

Yes, it's linked to a clock and shows when it was recorded.

Good thinking, Witek.

-Could you burn a disc for us? -Sure.

How about a cassette?

I think I'll manage.

Do it today.

Still think it was him?

We'll see once we sync it.

Admit it, the shoe fits.

The gun, the motive, pestering...

I wouldn't agree with pestering.

He gave in a bit too easy.

I meant the blackmailing.

You know...

murder on a mission?

Slippery stuff.

That's for sure.

Can you get to the bottom of this?

I doubt it.

I'll ask around, but it's the army.

If any crap went down, they'll keep quiet.

The shot was fired after the main suspect left the building.

What now then?

Do we let him go?

We need to sweat Krystyna.

She got in, went upstairs...

then the shot was fired.

We have to talk to her again.

She's our only witness who met the killer.

Unless it's her.

What good is a blind witness?

Guys, take it outside.

I've got work to do.

For the chief.

Every penny counts.

Yeah.

That's the chief's daughter?

She's fat.

She used to be fatter.

I don't understand.

When you passed that person by the elevator...

Do you remember anything?

Anything specific?

Any details? Anything?

I don't know...

Maybe there was something.

Sort of...

a distinct ringing sound...

I'm not sure.

Can you come to my office in one hour?

What do you mean by...

...stalking?

She kept calling Maciek.

Pestering us.

She used to stake out our building for hours.

We found many photos of Maciek in her home.

Yours as well.

We felt like TV celebrities.

Followed by the paparazzi.

You're not a suspect, so...

I need your permission to test you for gunpowder residue.

Just to...

I know what it is.

The result will surely be positive.

Why?

I shot a gun this morning.

MEMBERSHIP CARD NR 45607 DAGMARA ROZTOCKA

I'm in a riflemen's association.

Good afternoon.

I don't know you.

So?

It was her.

She passed you on the day of the murder?

How did you recognize her?

The sound.

She must be wearing jewelry...

She had bracelets.

You can hear them on the recording.

She fired the gun.

We'll base our next move on that.

What if she's innocent?

You're the first to make such an accusation.

What are you suggesting?

That me, a blind person, shot her friend?

How dare you...

Please calm down.

Nevertheless, stay in town. You're an important witness.

Mr. Prosecutor?

Someone wants to see you.

He says it's urgent.

Who?

Maciej Szterling.

I thought it through and...

Yes?

The gun that was used to kill Beata...

I lied to you earlier.

It was mine.

I brought it from a mission.

Are you admitting to murder?

No.

I didn't kill Beata.

I didn't do it.

I just thought...

I was hoping to...

cover it up, but...

I can't take it any longer.

Maciek?

Hi.

Hi.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

For what?

Motherfucker!

I hate you!

I hate you!

Do you stand by your statement?

You're under arrest for the murder of Beata Rucińska.

One more time.

Why did you visit her at work during the night?

I didn't go anywhere.

I spent the night at home.

Sure.

Can anyone confirm this?

My boyfriend Maciek.

Maciek was in the Polish Radio office.

He said it himself. There's security footage.

I'll put it gently.

This doesn't add up.

Haven't you heard?

Your boyfriend recognized his gun and suspects you stole it.

Mr. Prosecutor...

this is a complete lack of willingness to cooperate.

I can't prove I wasn't there, but...

...you can't prove I was.

Come on...

Her prints are there, in the other part of the building.

On a door handle, but only one.

Not good enough.

She could have been there.

That's nothing.

She's faking it, she's on edge.

Let's squeeze her.

Your fingerprints...

in the Polish Radio building.

Maciek worked there.

Sure.

The prints are fresh, they're from a storage room.

What was his job?

A janitor or a security guard?

I loved him.

Actually, I still love him.

Beata...

She blackmailed him.

It was some army thing.

He gave her money so she'd piss off...

but she kept blackmailing him.

Truth be told...

she still wanted him.

That night I went there to scare her.

So she'd finally fuck off.

I took Maciek's gun, but I never took it out.

I just told her how pitiful she was.

When I was leaving...

...I saw Maciek get off the elevator.

I hid in the control room.

Then I heard them arguing...

...and then fucking.

I shot that bitch in the head.

I met someone on the way out and I hid.

I came out later...

...a crowd of people was there.

When was this?

Does it matter?

Yes.

So we can match it with security footage.

Around 2:00 p.m.

Do you confess to killing Beata Rucińska?

Yes, I killed her.

I would’ve sworn it was him.

Who would have thought?

Headed home?

Yes, I have urgent documents to write.

Would you do me a favor?

I have to spend the evening with my kids.

I also have a date.

Man, take care of your kids.

I do when it's the right time.

This was unexpected, Gosia called me...

a half-hour ago to say she has to work late.

I'll call off the date then...

Hold on.

It's better they stay with me than someone like you.

Thanks.

You're like a real monkey.

But I don't live with real monkeys.

You don't?

Now what?

I'm going to the other house.

Something wrong?

I can see you're crying.

What happened?

Anka posted on Facebook saying I'm stupid.

You're worried about it?

Uncle, my entire class read it.

Do you know why she wrote that?

She's stupid, that's why.

That's a trait, not the motive.

What's the reason?

To hurt my feelings.

So I should write that I don't care.

There you go.

But what?

Dear Ania...

I'd love to discuss this with you.

However, I'm afraid you'd drag me down...

to your inferior level.

Remember this.

Everyone has dumb thoughts.

The wise keep them silent.

Great.

Remember to use capital letters.

Why no Polish diacritic signs?

It's faster. Thanks, Uncle!

Hey, kids.

Wash your hands.

It's suppertime.

Hi.

Hi.

He got you to cover for him again?

Don't worry, it's nothing.

He's swamped with work.

Sure.

She's ten years younger.

Why should I care?

It's been a year since the divorce.

He's not a bad guy.

Sure.

Guess what, Mom.

Everyone has dumb thoughts. The wise keep them silent.

Want to stay for supper?

I can't, I have work.

The table's set.

Bye.

Bye.

-See ya. -Bye.

I might understand stinking up the place.

Maybe it's to mask the stench of the carcasses?

Messy? It's your work style.

But how can you make such basic errors?

Good evening.

Could you be more specific?

The victim had sex before dying.

She didn't...

There are witnesses.

I don't give a shit.

My findings are in the report.

It also says she was strangled.

When in fact she was shot.

She was strangled.

Number one.

She didn't have sex for several hours before dying.

Number two.

The swelling and bruises on her neck prove she was choked.

She was already dead when she was shot.

Photos of the crime scene confirm this.

If she hadn't been dead,

her pressurized blood would have made a surreal painting.

The heart was no longer pumping blood, so it didn't.

Number three.

I see Warsaw Prosecution has stepped it up a notch.

How is it then?

You'd rather tell me what to write in the reports?

I'll just do it.

Now excuse me.

People are just insolent.

They keep dying and I have work to do.

Are you crazy?

Don't tell me she's better than me...

You lost your mind.

Are you crazy?

Don't tell me she's better than me...

You lost your mind.

Did you see Maciek having sex with Beata?

I told you...

Yes or no?

I heard it.

Isn't that enough?

I asked you to stop.

You want me to stop now?

In general.

I can tell them all, you know?

About what?

What?

What happened during your mission.

Stop it.

You know that...

you go to prison for murder?

Did you know that?

Think you can scare me?

Yes, are you scared?

The victim's ex-boyfriend strangled her.

Maciek?

Dagmara shot her.

He murdered her.

A moment later Ms. Dagmara shot her in the head.

But you had tapes.

Beata unzipped his pants, that can be heard clearly.

Drop that cunt and come back.

You're crazy.

Don't say she's better than me...

And later...

we took it...

for sex noise.

It wasn't.

Are you kidding?

We made a mistake.

Holy shit...

So Dagmara didn't know...

she was dead?

No.

The body was sitting in the chair, back to the door.

Charges?

Murder for him.

Attempted murder for her.

Kazik...

Attempted won't fly.

Her lawyer will push desecrating human remains.

The intention counts.

She wanted and tried to do it.

Then why did she leave the gun by the body?

It was a crime of passion.

She was jealous.

She left it there to implicate him.

She just didn't know he'd already done it.

Do you have a strong case?

I've got footage of him leaving the building.

I have an audio recording with him and the victim.

That's trace evidence.

You're right. That's why I gave him an offer.

He just couldn't refuse it, and he accepted.

He confesses and gets 12 years.

Gets parole after six for good behavior.

What about the mission, the blackmailing?

I informed the army prosecutor's office.

You think the guys in uniforms...

will tell us anything?

The colonel I spoke to said...

"Why bother, we have our culprits in cells, you have yours."

Like I thought.

Case closed?

Yes.

Thanks.
