Original subtitles

- Are they inside ? - Yes.

What is this ?

Daniel offered this painting to the parish.

- When ? - A few months before he died.

- And you didn't say anything ? - Only when I saw Kuba...

What about Abraham ? I told you.

- Don't ! You can't do it. - Why not ?

Is there anything else you haven't told us ?

What's he shouting ?

Motherfucker, you deserved it.

I was sure he was shouting at me.

That he was blaming me...

June 3rd is the day of Dad's death.

I got it from Molenda a few weeks later.

We have to talk to him.

Mum.

We need to find the painter, he might know something.

Here's a fresh towel, go to sleep. We'll check it tomorrow.

Are you awake ?

PAKT Episode 3

Please, follow me.

Please let me know when you have finished.

Hi.

- Did you sleep well ? - Not really.

I searched the fire service registers from the last fifteen years.

And ?

There were nineteen fires,

in which children died but none was him.

Maybe it didn't happen in Poland ?

- Anyway, it was never reported. - So we're screwed.

Not necessarily. I found something else.

That video file. General attributes of the file

are different from the metadata of the video stream.

- And in more understandable terms ? - Someone falsified its creation date.

In fact, it was created only a few days ago.

It wasn't Daniel.

He wasn't the one who sent you this film.

Thank you.

See you soon... God bless you.

A normal person wouldn't have done such a thing.

We'll talk in the evening.

I have to go, I'm already late.

Will you manage ?

What are your plans for today ?

Young man.

None.

We don't hire a maid here.

Can I go now ?

Is the Notary in ?

He's just gone out. How can I help you ?

What do you think you're doing ?

Please leave now !

All right, I'm leaving.

Stop, will you ? Pull up.

- You recognise me ? - What can I do for you ?

Two days ago... Daniel Grodecki...

The package from beyond the grave, you recognise me ?

Certainly. Something happened ?

Who gave it to you ? For sure it wasn't my brother.

And not a year but a few days ago.

No, I don't know what you're talking about.

Would you excuse me, I'm already a bit late.

I have a longstory on what's going on here.

Letters of authority issued by the deceased,

whose properties unexpectedly change the owner.

The article's ready, waiting to be printed.

Yeah ? Go ahead and print it.

Remember to buy Kurier the day after tomorrow.

Grodecki !

- What guarantee do I have ? - My word for now.

- Are you recording this ? - You can search me if you want to.

I got a call and an order. From an anonymous person.

Then I got the package and specific instructions and...

And money. Big enough to ignore the details.

Where did the package come from ? Did they leave any trace ?

If someone wants to remain anonymous, you won't find them.

You should know that by now.

- What guarantee do I have ? - We have nothing on you.

So that's what we're writing about now ?

We're getting into people's beds, is that right ?

Not people but the minister.

If it's OK with the Minister, it's OK with you.

Andrzej, we're the Fourth Estate. We have to reveal things...

We're supposed to protect civil rights.

But instead, we severely infringe them.

Can you leave us alone for a moment ?

The guy's lying in his private life.

Why should we trust him in the public one ?

It's the best Minister of Economy we've had for years.

He's a liar. And it's not about politics.

- It's the matter of ethics. - He's going to sue us.

And he will win. And then he'll ruin us.

He won't.

We're having trouble with closing the budget gap.

Thisis Skalski.

Rumour has it that things are improving.

And this is Bogusz.

They are, kind of, but slowly and we're short of money as usual.

Maybe we have to act differently, as they say now: 'outside the box.'

So you're gonna fucking sack the Minister of Finance at last.

- And this ? - Nawrot.

Good, you should've done it a long time ago.

The prick thinks he's got a longer one than he really has.

All right, let's drop this.

This oxtail in sauce is exquisite.

What is this ?! We're going to expose the Minister's weak spot for oxtails.

Wait, listen to this.

The government won't give you such guarantees.

But we have to. Look, it's a huge investment...

It's your problem. I can't help you.

- You have to. - I don't have to do anything.

- Sure, you don't but you can. - No way.

Easy. Let me finish. We give money, you are a silent partner.

Such a guarantee is good enough for the Chinese.

What money are we talking about ?

If we sign the deal with the Chinese ?

Let's say this and then twenty percent of the profit.

All right, I'm in.

It was eighteen months ago.

One week later, Boguszand Nawrot set up a company Pek-War

with the share capital of half a million zlotys.

In the latest quarter,

they reported revenue of as much as twenty million.

- Where did you get this ? - I can't... My source...

- Where did you get this ? - We trust Monika, don't we ?

And what if it's a fix ? A piece of shit with a ribbon on it.

Cut it out. You've heard the recording.

OK. So it's a sequel to the tape scandal.

Someone illegally recorded the Minister's conversations.

Forgive me but I need to know: who and what for.

Everything in its right time. Great job, Monika, congratulations.

Modern journalism. You're fucking puppets in someone's hands.

Andrzej, let go just this once.

Don't read this.

Listen...

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Today's agenda. - Cancel everything.

Sorry ?

Cancel everything. We're going to see the Prime Minister.

He was a promising judoka.

Actually, he was good at everything.

But he screwed up everything.

You know who this is ?

Grandma.

I've heard she killed herself because of you.

Is that what your father told you ?

And you believed in everything.

Our relic.

Your father stuck it in my belly.

Up to this point.

He didn't tell you that ?

- He was your age. - Maybe he had his reasons.

How did this happen ?

Why ? You don't find it interesting.

- Hi. - You can never be on time, can you ?

It must be somewhere here.

Grodecki Daniel.

It's here. March 5th 2014, Ash Wednesday.

- And he just brought it here ? - It was hardly a coincidence.

- Meaning ? - Ash Wednesday is a day of penance.

He donated the painting to have a clear conscience.

Tadeusz, stop it. He was a good man.

I know too well what kind of man he was.

You'd know if you hadn't disowned him.

He chose his fate on his own.

And it's of course none of your fault.

- Are you going with me ? - You agree with him, don't you ?

Come on, I'll give you a lift.

No.

Dad.

Dad !

Come in.

That's all we needed: a sex scandal with a dead man.

No one's a saint but you're the one who got caught with your dick out.

In a fucking hotel ! Like a kid.

It's good though they didn't catch you with some boy.

Is there anything else I should know ?

My attorney will file a lawsuit against Kurier tomorrow.

He won't.

We'll try to hush it up.

But if the media want to crucify you, I'll be the first to hand them nails.

How are the negotiations going ?

Fine.

On Saturday, I'm flying to Oslo to finalise the details.

This is the most important issue for us right now, get it ?

So don't fuck it up.

And, Darek, from now on, you show up only with your wife.

You'd better never meet her again.

- Piotrek, you're late again. - I know, I'm sorry.

You still owe me a story on the devastation of benches.

I was going to do it now.

No, now you have a conference at the City Hall

on the expansion of the controlled parking zones.

- Everything's fine. - Come on, I'll give you a brief.

In a second, hold on.

Yes.

What's going on ?

Fancy a drink ?

Go on, tell me.

- I should quit. - What bullshit is this ?

Kowalik and those on the top have their own ideas.

But Kurier is you, not Kowalik.

They need new blood.

- People like her. - Cut it out.

She's just brought in a huge scandal.

You know Skalski got his palm greased ?

- Guess by whom. - Bogusz.

And Nawrot.

- Did Monika talk to him ? - Have no idea.

Thanks, man.

- Piotrek ! - Will be back soon, really soon.

- What are you doing ? - Coming with you.

- Where ? - To see Nawrot.

- No way. - Monika, you owe me something.

Besides, it has nothing to do with your story.

How's work at the City News ?

- Awesome. - Is it ?

Yes. I finally write about issue that really matter to people.

Like what ?

Read my articles and you'll see. It was a great decision.

Interesting. Rafał says you're skiving.

- Please, come inside. - Oh, my... Two reporters !

Should I be scared ?

- Hello. - Hello.

I have an important meeting soon. Coffee, tea, water ?

Since you're pressed for time, please don't trouble yourself.

All right, how can I help you ?

Would you mind if I recorded our conversation ?

Please, go ahead.

Pek-War.

I'm afraid it's not the best time. My partner is indisposed.

That's why we're here.

The truth is, I have no idea how Pek-War works.

I only provided capital. It was one of my many investments.

The person who did business with the Chinese was Adrian.

- And there is no one else ? - Who else ?

- A third partner ? - No. Excuse me.

Yes. Start negotiating without me.

Yes, I'll show up at the end.

- I'm sorry but we have to finish. - Running late ?

Thanks for talking to us.

It's a pity I didn't satisfy your curiosity.

On the contrary.

Oh, one more thing. Abraham.

I'm afraid I don't understand.

Abraham: does it mean anything to you ?

- Should it ? - It was Bogusz's last word.

How do you know ?

What was the link between him and my brother ?

- I don't know. Should there be any ? - You knew both of them.

I know lots of people.

I have no idea of whatever you're implying.

At the cemetery, after the funeral, I felt you wanted to tell me something.

Did you ?

You're a good reporter. You'll manage.

- What was that ? - None of your business.

I let you come with me to my interview.

Interview ? You came here with a preconception.

You wanted to hear only the things you might find useful.

- Hi, Piotruś. Coffee ? - What are you doing here ?

Working, ain't we ? Someone turned your flat into quite a mess.

- Who called you here ? - So, shall we go to the station ?

- We'll write a report, OK ? - You won't catch him anyway.

- What do you know about that ? - I don't read tabloids.

Then why are you so interested in this gentleman ?

You want to know something about it, ask them.

- They say they got it from you. - I don't reveal my sources.

- Even when people die ? - Especially then.

Look, you're gonna help us, we're gonna help you.

You look like you need backup.

I don't want to be rude but I've got a flat to tidy up.

So...

As you wish.

- Yes, Ewa, hello ? - I know who painted the picture.

His name is Dec. He has an atelier on the Vistula Scarp.

Excuse me, Piotr, I have to go.

What's wrong ? Why aren't you at Grandpa's ?

I fucking knew it, you were the reason they fell out.

- It doesn't concern you. - Sure, it doesn't.

Like the fact that Dad stabbed the old man with the bayonet,

ordered that fucked-up painting or that you fucked the two of them.

Kuba !

You're back.

Go there, please.

- You want to go out like this ? - Why not ?

Take it off. It needs ironing.

Come with me, we'd be there together.

Will you let me take you out some time ?

Wait.

A job like any other.

He gave me your photo, the money was good,

the idea a little weird, but I didn't ask any questions.

He asked me not to change anything

but look, the original screwed up the light and shade.

Original ?

The painting is at the Dominican Church in Kraków,

17th century, by an unknown artist.

- And you changed only my face ? - Your face, plus the light and shade.

And he also asked to add this date.

All of our guests, welcome !

Every year, our foundation hands out an award

to those who help to develop the market while helping others.

They are exceptional people, we always emphasise this,

but to call this year's winner of the Good-Hearted Businessman Award

an exceptional person is not enough.

Therefore, we'd like to show you a short film,

which presents the road our hero had to take to be here with you.

Żyrardów, this is where our winner grew up,

you recognise him ?

A proud son of Mazovia was already interested in his friends' money.

Vinegar, queues, ration coupons, food without taste for money without value.

This is what our May picnics looked like.

In 1989, our hero was taking his high school exams

but it didn't stop him from working after hours.

As far as I know, no inaccuracies were reported.

Here, we officially enter the big world,

the first taste of freedom.

The first company, obviously with his own capital.

At the beginning, they assembled them on their own,

a few years later, they became the main importer of leading brands,

but let's not put it off too long.

The symbol of Polish entrepreneurial spirit,

the icon of our transformation.

A philanthropist with a heart of gold and a good friend of mine,

Tomasz Nawrot.

Thank you, dears. Thank you with all my heart.

It cost you a lot of work, Janusz.

If I'd known you were preparing such a surprise,

I'd recommend you a professional company.

I just want to add one remark.

Money won't make you happy.

You're happy only when you spend it.

When you spend it to help others.

A hard day ?

I've seen better ones.

Are you the one I should thank for the article ?

No, the gossip column is run by the colleague of mine.

So you would have done that differently.

At least, I'd have chosen a better photo of you, Minister.

That hurts the most.

The worst thing is that your colleagues don't even know where to search.

Minister, may I talk to you for a moment ?

- I won't talk to you. - It's about Pek-War.

Sorry ?

I'd like to give you a chance to comment on the entire issue

before my article goes to press.

It's about your being their silent partner.

- What are you talking about ? - So you're denying that ?

Goodbye. Excuse me.

Nice film, the crowd loves you.

Yes, I bet they prepared the video for my funeral.

Have you met anyone interesting ?

No, but thanks for the invitation anyway.

What invitation ?

Mr Grodecki ?

Can I see your invitation, please ?

- And you are... ? - The head of security.

- Can I see your invitation, please ? - Sorry ?

You're not welcome here.

Leave this place, get it ?

Who sent you ?

Don't fucking butt in.

Hello, may I have your attention, please ?

I know, you're probably wondering what I'm doing here

and who invited me.

I'd like to know it myself.

All of you who gathered here are people of success,

all of you are wealthy.

And it's a problem. What to do with so much money ?

What do you have to sacrifice to get it ?

How far can you go ? Where's the boundary you can't cross ?

Abraham... God told him to sacrifice his son.

That is a lot, right ?

But that deal, did it bring Abraham any profits ?

It did, it brought him substantial profits.

For his blind obedience, God promised to make him the king of the vast land.

What promise was made to you ? I'm asking you...

- Please, come with me, sir. - What have I done ?

All right, I'll go on my own. Stop pushing me, will you ?

- Here you are. - Thank you very much.

Hello.

Who's that ?

Are you here ?

What ? What conspiracy ?

Tell me the fucking truth

or I'll go back to the stage and say all the rest.

Konary ? What happened there twenty-five years ago ?

What are you doing here ?

One guy ran out of the building a minute ago.

- Get out of here, man ! - It's really important.

You can help me.
