Original subtitles

I told you to stay the fuck out of this !

I'd like to report assault and battery.

On the corner of Święta Barbara and Poznańska.

All right, but hurry up, please.

PAKT Episode 4

No, we won't do it. Too little evidence.

- Andrzej, the press is waiting. - We have a problem then.

I was the one to bring the tapes. The transcript is powerful.

- So who's behind it ? - It is not our job to...

Then fucking what ?

So what is our job, Monika ? You're completely nuts !

- You been drinking ? - What's this got to do with anything ?

What's going on ?

Andrzej doesn't want to run the transcript.

- Why not ? - Because it's fake.

Andrzej believes we should check it once again.

- It's a newspaper's duty to... - Stop bullshitting !

If this story runs in tomorrow's issue, I'll quit.

Call the press to start the machines.

Monika, write the Editor's Note.

Get down to work, now !

Thank you.

I need to keep you here for observation.

I have no time for that, Doctor.

- Here you are. - What is this ?

Two fractured ribs,

plus suspected concussion and an overall body trauma.

What can I do ? Pressure of work.

- Do you feel sick ? - Yes.

- So you really should stay. - Need to take this, excuse me.

Hi.

He wasn't supposed to go anywhere ! Fuck !

All right, I'm sorry, hold on.

I'll handle this. I'll call you back in a second.

- I have to go. - Take the X-rays.

No need to, thank you.

- And ? - Kuba's gone missing.

- What ? - Kuba's gone missing.

Hospital, yes. As fast as you can.

Something's wrong ?

- Get in. - We'll wait, thanks.

- We might have a chat at last. - What about ?

For example, your performance at the Warsaw Business Club.

How the fuck do you know about it ?

- Get in. - Thanks. Come on.

It's Mum.

No, I won't tell you.

I'm OK.

Don't call me for some time, OK ?

- He's out of range. - His signal's gone.

Hi.

That's good. Did he say where he was ?

Ewa, calm down. Give him some time, I'm sure he'll be back.

Please, calm down. We'll be in touch, bye.

The snot picked up but didn't say where he was.

Look what I've found.

The car is registered in the name of Grzegorz Merta.

- Address ? - Cisowa 16.

A businessman ?

The owner of several companies. Number 96 on the list...

- When was he born ? - 1971.

- One year younger than Daniel. - His university colleague ?

Where did he study ?

The Kraków Academy of Economics.

Daniel studied at the Warsaw School of Economics.

Check "Konary".

It's a business centre near Kraków.

But what did they do there twenty-five years ago ?

There's nothing here.

The earliest documents on their server come from 1994.

Before, they must have collected analogue data.

We have to go there as soon as possible.

Let's stick to Merta. He's our connection.

- I'll go there. - No, honey.

I'll manage.

Kuba's here, he's going to Kraków. Yep, all right, I'll let you know, bye.

Thanks.

And this is exactly what I expect.

It's been all over the news since the morning.

Our citation index will surely leap.

We've broken all records for clickability.

See, it's possible. Fantastic, Monika. We need more stories like this one.

What about Andrzej ?

Andrzej made up his mind yesterday. And I respect that.

Today, Jurek's taking over his duties. Any questions ?

Thank you.

What about Andrzej ? Perhaps we might try... ?

No, Monika.

Unless he apologizes to me, there's no way he's back.

- Hi. - Hi.

What's up ?

I feel stupid.

You believed in the Editor-in-Chief, who doesn't give a shit about us.

It's not like this. He has some arguments.

Everyone does.

Andrzej, this situation is pointless. Go talk to him.

No.

But you'd better be careful about what you're doing

because in this job you lose your face only once.

Bye.

Good morning. The Prime Minister is waiting for you.

You're here.

Take a seat, please.

I'll finish in a second.

This thing with Kurier, what's it about ?

Nothing, it's nonsense.

- And the audio ? - They edited some parts out.

They wanted something from me but I told them to get lost.

- It's not what I read there. - Like I said. They edited the audio.

- Who did ? - I don't know.

I guess it concerns the energy pact.

The question is who wants to break off the negotiations so badly.

The chairman of the Polish People's Party called me.

What do they want ?

Your job. Now.

They'll stay in the coalition on condition that you resign.

No, you must be joking. Because of such nonsense ?

- Doesn't matter why. - So ?

You know we can't afford to let the coalition collapse right now.

Tell me, you want me to quit, don't you ?

Let's say, for personal reasons, your resignation would be accepted.

Personal reasons. Fine, what about the negotiations ?

Someone will substitute for you, it's already the final phase.

Give me one day, please.

I'll finish things at the office, say goodbye to my staff.

- Then, I'll call a press conference. - OK. Listen.

You know how important this coalition is. Especially now.

Of course.

Ticket, please.

- Can I have your ticket, please ? - I don't have one.

So what shall we do ?

Excuse me, I'm with him. I'll pay for the ticket.

He's really worried about you.

- What are your plans now ? - My plans are my business.

We found something out about your father.

Near Kraków, in Konary, there's a training centre.

He might have met Bogusz there

and it's possible everything started there.

I thought you could go there with me and we'd check it together

but since you already have plans...

Wait.

I'm going to Kraków to visit the Dominican Church.

There's the original painting that my father used as a model.

Daddy !

- I've made an Easter egg, look ! - It's beautiful.

- Shall I get the door ? - No, I'll take care of this.

- What do you want ? - Why did Daniel kill himself ?

I don't know what you're talking about.

- Don't fucking piss me off. - Dad, come on.

Go back to the kids. Dad will be back in a second. Go back.

Come on.

- What do you want ? - Why did my brother have to die ?

- I don't know. - You're lying.

No.

- I got the video from you. - I can't. Not here.

- I'll report it to the police. - I'll tell everything but not here.

My kids' life is at stake.

Where then ?

In a place with a lot of people around. It's not safe here.

At nine at Rotunda. You don't show up, I call the police.

Yes ?

No, not now. Maybe tomorrow.

What ? What do you mean fired ?

Yes.

Who ?

Let him in.

I usually make my appointments through the secretariat.

Today, I had to arrange it differently considering the circumstances.

- Circumstances ? - Your dismissal.

So everyone already knows ?

That's the point.

I don't understand.

- My clients want to be the first. - Could you be clearer, please ?

I have a very attractive job offer for you.

- Beg your pardon ? - In the private sector.

Certainly, in the same field of expertise.

A specialist as highly-regarded

as you are will receive many offers in the next few days.

But we wanted to be the first. And it will be hard to outbid us.

- I need time to think it over. - Certainly.

One day. Is that all ?

Here's my number.

Goodbye.

Thank you.

- Hello. - Hello.

We're here about the IT infrastructure failure.

That's so good ! I only opened an e-mail with Easter greetings

and all the computers were down at once.

It's a particularly mean virus.

We'll have to delete it from every unit separately.

Oh my.

How many workstations are in your company ?

This one, two at each of the offices,

plus one in the reading room and one in the archive.

Why don't we start with the archive ?

Wait, I've got something.

A seminary for students. "Leaders of the New Millennium 1992."

- What about a list of participants ? - It's not here.

Hold on, hold on.

- What are you doing ? - I've got the name of the coordinator.

Strojnowski.

Lech Strojnowski.

- Tomorrow as usual, a quarter past ? - Don't drive in.

Let's meet.

- What a prick. - Andrzej didn't give him any choice.

Stop it.

It might be called off. You just need to talk to Andrzej.

He's an independent, experienced journalist

and not some fucking media worker.

You're the only person that can persuade him.

- And ? Is this all you've got ? - For now...

Andrzej's right. You're puppets in someone's hands.

It's a setup, all right.

- Thanks for your help. - Wait.

I'll talk to him, that's obvious.

Tell me: what business did Bogusz do with Merta ?

- None. They were friends. - Friends.

They went skiing in St Moritz and diving in the Maldives.

Let me know how it went, will you ?

Yep.

Bye.

Hi, Andrzej, I've heard you have an evening off.

Call me back.

Let's go, Kuba.

- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.

How can I help you ?

Hello, we're here to see Professor Strojnowski.

But Professor's not here.

He's in Kraków, at the Dominican Church.

I thought we were not supposed to meet.

I shouldn't have left you alone with this.

I'll manage. You owe me nothing.

I'm sorry.

I want to be with you.

When ?

- When the scandal is all over ? - No. Now.

And you're sure this is the best moment ?

When will the moment be right ?

Bye.

Professor ! Good afternoon.

My name's Kuba Grodecki. I'm Daniel Grodecki's son.

Can I ask you a few questions ?

Our aim was very simple.

We wanted to gather the best economy students

from around Poland in one place.

Later on, they were supposed to change our country later.

An exceptional generation.

They took their finals in a Communist state

but started university in free Poland.

Our enthusiasm was enormous, enormous !

We truly believed that those people would build the new market here.

Konary was going to be only the beginning.

- This is where we met afterwards. - Afterwards ?

Yes. After the course finished, some students, including your father,

asked me to continue our seminary.

And what did you teach them ? How to achieve success ?

Of course. Most importantly,

they were to leave this place equipped with certain principles.

What principles ?

It may sound funny... Justice, honesty...

- It was my best group. - Is this Grzegorz Merta ?

I never believed your father was a swindler.

Daniel was too smart to get involved in such a silly thing.

And this one, with his head turned, who is he ?

This is our child prodigy.

I'm sure you know him: Tomasz Nawrot.

Would you like to comment on today's articlein Kurier ?

Kurier, I haven't read it yet.

Do you admit to having contacts with Minister Skalski ?

Oh, yes, certainly. He's a very nice man.

So you're confirming you approached Minister Skalski with a bribe ?

No, I didn't say that.

What did your cooperation with the Minister specifically involve ?

Ladies and gentlemen

I'll keep you in suspense for a little longer.

- Can't you tell us anything more ? - Everything will clear up soon.

Thank you very much for now. Excuse me. Goodbye. Thank you.

Going anywhere ?

I already told you. Not here and not now.

Don't bullshit me. How did you know about Bogusz ?

Tell me or I'm calling the police.

No. We were in this together, Adrian too.

We meaning who ? You ? Daniel ?

Fuck, tell me ! All right, I'm gonna make this call.

- It's much bigger than you think. - What is ?

- Big money. - How big is big ?

Huge. The kind of money you can kill for.

- Even children ? - It was a tragedy... An accident.

- No one had suspected it was for real. - What was ?

- The Pact. - What fucking Pact ?

Go now, will you ? Leave me alone. Go now, go.

- Who killed that child ? - You know what it's about ?

Nobody's willing to sacrifice their own kids

but this is the best guarantee of loyalty...

Whose idea was that ? Who else is behind it ?

Please, go. I'm sorry I gave it to you.

Just say it. You hear me ? Tell me ! Fuck, tell me !

- Here's my train. - What ?

Good afternoon, everyone.

Minister Skalski will make a short statement.

He will not, however, answer any questions at the moment.

Thank you.

Good afternoon, everyone.

For the last few days, I've experienced attacks

targeted at my personal life and professional career.

I'm not going to explain personal matters to you.

Yet, as for my professional activities, I want to make it clear

that I have never, never accepted

financial benefits from Mr Bogusz or Mr Nawrot.

Never.

Despite that, I've been asked to resign.

In a democratic society, it is common practice

to step back from politics until things are clarified.

It is good practice.

But I'm not going to do this.

I'm not going to resign.

Kurier published the transcript of a fabricated recording.

I'm innocent.

I won't let rumour and manipulation control our politics.

I won't let it happen.

Any questions ?

How did the PM react to your decision ?

You're the first to hear it.

Who might want to release the fabricated audio ?

I think you should answer this question, not me.

I understand that before you published the transcript,

you must have figured out what aim someone tried to achieveby

using you as a tool, is that correct ?

Thank you very much.

You got anything ?

Kuba...

Fine, actually, I'm not really sure what I counted on.

I wish I'd been a regular here like you.

Something happened ?

What is it ?

There's been another suicide.

- Who ? - Grzegorz Merta.

Fuck... I saw him jump in front of the train.

It's no coincidence, Andrzej. Daniel, Bogusz, Merta.

They all got into some sick deal,

in which the guarantee was the life of their children.

- Hold on. Just listen to yourself. - Even Nawrot is in this.

We found their location. It's been going on for years.

- Drop it. - What ?

Drop it before it's too late.

If what you're saying is true

and someone's powerful enough to force those guys to do such things,

maybe this time it isn't worth it ?

What is this all about ?

Yes ?

One of the participants of Konary trainings,

an acquaintance of Daniel's, went missing two years ago,

together with his son.

I found his photo. It's that boy..

The boy from the video ?

They both went missing on July 20th, 2013.

Wait.

July 20th is the date in the painting with Kuba.

Wait, wait. Hold on.

Hold on.

Kuba !

Hello, can you hear me, Weronika ?

Hello.

What is it again ?

You're under arrest in connection

with deaths of Grzegorz Merta and Adrian Bogusz.

You have the right to an attorney.
