'If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people...

...what they do not want to hear.' George Orwell

This is why I asked Anna to join Revival. You know her.

She comes from this area. You know you can trust her.

She's spent years working for this region.

For Silesia!

Now she's going to work for Poland!

Ania, come join us!

Revival! Revival!

You're going to Warsaw with us.

- Fuck you. - It's not a request.

I'm not going anywhere with you.

I just talked to your boss. She knows about everything.

She's waiting for you with an attorney. You can check it.

When did they leave?

Thank you, Chief. Goodbye.

The public TV is waiting for you.

- What are you doing? - I have to go to Warsaw.

These are the last interviews before the election silence.

You'll manage just fine.

Piotr was there. With Hanus.

Piotr was collecting evidence against him.

They're taking him to Warsaw now.

All right.

Go with my driver. It's gonna be faster.

Thanks.

THE PACT

Episode 6: THE ARRANGEMENT

A confidentiality agreement. Nothing you will hear can leave this room.

Your call.

How did you know about the attempt on Hanus's life?

We didn't. Our agents were on routine surveillance there.

The investigation against Hanus has been conducted for months.

Into what case?

His company may have caused the blast in the Brygida mine.

Meaning?

For years, Hanus tried to take over deposits owned by the mine.

No success. But the blast may have made it easier for him.

We can't rule out it was purposeful.

- How long have you known? - Like I said, it's classified.

The case is still being investigated.

Why are we here anyway?

We still don't know who Hanus collaborated with

or who wanted him dead.

At the moment, all our leads point to your source.

Who is he talking about?

Martyna Krupicz. Our agent until recently.

We have to know what exactly she told you.

You want me to snitch on her.

No need to.

She died during the arrest.

She was the park shooter.

Mr Grodecki, we really need your help.

Nosol is lying, get it?

- How do you know? - I just do!

He put on a damn show to have an alibi.

And now we can't use the Silesia stuff. Motherfucker.

- What's going on? - Don't worry, I'm fine.

I'm at the hotel. Let's meet.

Ania!

Ania! Turn around!

Here! Go, go!

Drink this.

Can you recognize him?

Who knew you had those documents?

Don't know... No one.

Only Darek.

Skalski?

Did he know Hanus?

It's all fucking tied to the election.

- No, he can't have done it. - How do you know?

Listen... I know how to find out who's behind it.

- We can't do anything now. - So you want to leave it at that?

Someone's trying hard to keep us quiet.

Can't you see that?

What's your plan?

I'd like to say a few personal words.

We wouldn't be here tonight if it hadn't been for you.

You and your hard work. Thanks.

Thank you very much.

To Revival!

So, how's Piotr?

He's going to talk to Rosińska about Hanus tonight.

On her show?

- Apparently, they have something huge. - Do they? What is it?

Good. They should explain it.

ANNA: 'Skalski already knows.'

Thanks.

Anka has just told Skalski.

Who knows I'm here?

Nobody does. Not even my editor.

We're ready for you.

And? Has anyone called you?

I told you it wouldn't work.

Easy...

We'll talk about the defence tender.

And you'll explain the Wagner issue.

- No. Nothing about Ania. - Piotr! I called off a scheduled guest.

- Please, no! - Trust me. Do as I say.

Yes?

Where is he?

Wait here.

It's the final decision. That's it.

- What's going on? - Hi. Glad to see you.

- Łukasz is blocking our story. - It's The Weekly's investigation.

I'm entitled to exclusivity.

- We'll discuss it as a teaser on the show. - You won't without my consent.

- You know it's punishable by a fine. - We'll be promoting you!

- What's your problem? - My problem is I don't trust you anymore.

I should've been the first to know instead of hearing word around town.

It's The Weekly's story.

You don't touch it. Are we clear?

Thanks!

You sure no one else knew?

The prick's working with Skalski.

Łukasz! Wait!

Look, you're right. But we'll speak in generalities.

We must act quickly on this case It's terribly important.

What is?

If I'm supposed to help you, I need to know.

I have new evidence from Andrzej.

Taped conversations between Hanus and Nosol.

- The ISA guy? - Exactly.

I've got recordings of them striking deals.

- I have to listen to them. - I'm tidying them up.

But you'll be the first to do so.

OK.

Thanks.

Corruption in the tender process was huge.

We're still investigating its scale.

In the next few weeks, we'll share new information.

Thank you. My guest tonight was Piotr Grodecki.

You're tired, aren't you?

Why don't you go to the hotel and get some rest before Sunday?

Where are the documents?

What documents?

- I was mugged today. - What?

By whom? Why didn't you tell me?

You're good...

That thing with Grodecki, what was it about?

He says he's got some tapes.

We're looking into it.

Don't worry. Everything's under control.

I've heard what you did to Anna.

For fuck's sake, is that control?

Were we supposed to take risks?

What kind of documents were they anyway?

Hanus's shady deals. Nothing to do with us.

Good.

Nobody should link him to Revival now.

Do you know who killed him?

The list is long.

Meaning?

You told us to tone him down a tad when he didn't give money for Lejman.

He screwed other people too. So, someone couldn't stand it any longer.

Now, all of a sudden?

Don't think about it.

You've got more important things on your mind now.

- Have you seen the polls? - I have.

We'll probably have the majority.

You're not looking where you should.

Have you seen the support for Wagner rocket?

Public opinion thinks she's the leader, not you.

I've already handled that.

By making a hospital video? Not enough, I guess.

Don't teach me politics, OK?

Change the tone.

You know what to do? Then focus.

We've entered the final stretch.

SATURDAY: One day until the election

- Yes? - She's here.

Send her in.

We screened him in the tender process.

Back then, he and Hanus were producing subassemblies for drones.

Later, he invested in the press. His latest purchase was The Weekly.

The previous owner was a bankrupt.

If Seidler had lingered for a few months, he would've paid half the price.

- But he wouldn't wait. - He needed a paper before the election.

Exactly.

I went too far.

My mistake. I'm sorry.

Is that all?

I've arranged an interview for you with the future Prime Minister.

- Wagner? - Oh, come on...

She had a good finish, but the real leader is Skalski.

- Ready-made questions? - Suggestions.

You might find something useful there.

What about Andrzej?

- Meaning? - Have you found anything new?

Only a chaos of information. Not much sense.

Maybe you should listen to these tapes.

What tapes?

Listen to whatever you've got there.

Browse, check... With Hanus's shady deals in mind.

Excuse me for a moment.

Sorry...

I gotta go.

- So soon? - Yeah.

- If there's anything else I can do... - Thanks.

'A Bloody Attack on Revival'

'Why Did He Shoot?'

'Secrets of an ISA Supergroup'

'Liberty Congress vs. Revival'

I needed to change things.

To liberate politics from corruption and cronyism

that I saw in PM Kostrzewa's government.

That was why you set up the Revival Party.

You know... I think it coincided with the public feeling.

The voters are tired with the Establishment

that lost touch with the problems of average people.

That's why we have such a high support.

You started the election campaign at the cost of your health.

You quit rehabilitation...

I'll give you a diplomatic reply.

The doctors don't approve of what I do.

If you had so much faith in the voters,

maybe you shouldn't have played that card in the campaign?

I don't understand.

You used your illness to regain support

after the scandal of buying the evidence from Deputy PM Janiak.

But I assume it was worth it.

No.

I wanted a frank conversation with the voters.

And it did take place.

Now they are going to assess me.

You lie on Thursday.

You apologize on Friday.

And you win the election at the weekend.

Good plan.

Pardon?

Where did you get the money for Janiak from?

Money for every campaign comes from voters.

Roman Hanus?

- Mr Hanus wasn't on our list. - Officially, he wasn't.

- Are these your questions? - Yes.

What's the tie between Revival and Łukasz Seidler?

- None that I would know of. - Are you sure?

You already lied once when talking to a reporter.

Goodbye, Ms Rosińska.

Skalski's security guard knew the shooter.

They served in the same unit.

They were recommended for the unit by Nosol.

On the day of the attack, they must have operated together.

- Wait, the security guard killed him. - They sacrificed one of their own.

Why would they set up the attack?

Just think. At first, Revival was significantly behind in the polls.

Until when?

Until the attack.

Fuck, the support did start to go up after that.

That's the point. They want to seize power.

They fixed the attack and set me on the tender scandal.

We kept walking on their leash.

You knew Eryk was behind the attack. Why didn't you say anything?

They're framing you.

They will link you to Jońca and you won't get out of that.

Look, we can help each other.

I want to find evidence against them.

Thank you.

But you see, I don't really trust reporters.

Goodbye.

An ISA guy was sitting there when I came in.

So you're the one under surveillance.

Drive out.

Go without me.

Do you have any dirt on them?

Documents, evidence, anything at all?

- Hi, what's up? - Sebastian, it's urgent.

I need any info you have on Hanus's arms trade group.

- Like, now? - As soon as you can.

- What for? - I can't talk right now.

- I'll have my man handle it. - No! Don't tell anyone.

- Andrzej, what's going on? - That's all for now.

I'm coming from Silesia. Get everything ready.

Piotr and I will come to your place tonight.

What did they promise you for that?

- They were only to scare him. - But they fucking killed him!

Why didn't you do anything after that?

You got family or kids?

So you can annoy the fuck out of anyone you want!

But I have to think about others.

Piotrek, it's impossible to back out now.

Spectrum did inform you the attack might have been rigged.

Why didn't you do anything about it?

Because the evidence is only circumstantial.

And the subject's too delicate to bring it up now.

Too high a risk.

What about Eryk Nosol?

Spectrum identified him as one of the suspects.

No wonder. After all, he's a Secret Service man.

But he won't cause problems for you.

I don't know what you mean.

Nosol has been Skalski's friend for years.

So the new arrangement won't harm him.

Tell me it's not true.

What's going on?

- Tell me it's not what I think. - What is this?

Did you and Nosol set up the attack?

What for? To win?

Darek, for fuck's sake!

It's a load of rubbish!

Who gave you this?

It's your fault Szymon is dead.

You'll pay for that.

What's up? You got it?

Yes. These tapes, I know what it's all about.

- OK. I'll be at your place in an hour. - No. Seidler has to hear it.

- These are not negotiations. - Either we do as I say or there's no...

I'm still here.

Come on.

I've got what you wanted.

Meaning?

Grodecki was at my place. I know what he's up to.

Ladies and gentlemen, and they're off!

Does he still trust you?

He doesn't seem to suspect anything.

So what are we gonna do?

Not here.

OK, go on.

What have you got?

The thing we agreed on.

- The tapes? - Yes. I checked them.

What's there?

Nothing.

- What do you mean, nothing? - It was a bluff.

He wanted to check out you and Skalski. He set you up.

So there is nothing?

He knows about the shooting attack.

He linked you to the men from the unit.

It's no proof.

- Like I fucking need him now... - What is it?

- Skalski. The prick's on his way here. - Let's just get it over with.

That's not all.

Piotr keeps on digging. He's checking out Silesia.

- Why? - Why the fuck do you think?

This is not a part of our deal.

If I'm to cover your backs, the price is up.

You fucking killed those miners.

Us?

Hanus will be blamed for the mine.

They won't link it to us. Correct?

If there's a bit of evidence anywhere, Grodecki will find it.

Everything has been cleaned up.

- And that guy, Hubert? - Him too.

- And? - We've got it.

So get out of there now.

Piotr? You OK?

I'll keep an eye on him. He won't write anything without me.

What is it again?

'Grodecki is here.'

What are you doing?!

Fix it.

Mr Grodecki?

You have one minute to return the recording.

What are you doing here?

You should be somewhere else now.

Call Nosol and tell him we'll meet at the ticket office.

- We set out the conditions here. - Not anymore.

Wait. I have to listen to this.

Him first.

You're good.

I'm glad you work for us.

Łukasz!

This one's for Andrzej! Get it?!

Not now.

- What the hell is this?! - Darek! Piss off for a moment.

You fucking shot at my people!

Not so loud.

- Who gave it to you? - Is it true?

- Calm down. - You killed Hanus.

- Did you kill Janiak too? - Please...

- Enough of this bullshit! - Careful.

What's with the mine?

What do you think?

Well?

- A pang of conscience, all of a sudden? - Meaning fucking what?

Don't act like you didn't know!

We say it's time we had a change of government.

And suddenly, the blast, Janiak's girls...

Heaven-fucking sent.

Didn't it make you think?

Even when Janiak died?

Or his girlfriend?

What did you do?

We cleaned up the mess.

So that you could become the Prime Minister.

That's what you wanted, didn't you?

And we succeeded.

So once, for a change, don't fuck anything up.

Get a grip.

Do your job.

And get some sleep before tomorrow.

You look terrible.

SUNDAY: The Election Day

Well, congratulations.

When are you running it?

Any moment now.

I wanted you to be the first to read it.

'The aim: to seize power'

No, no...

You won't publish it.

We already have.

There's a political earthquake after a Weekly article.

Reporter Piotr Grodecki discovered evidence

showing that the Revival Party was criminally entangled.

It's the first time in Polish history that materials against a leading party

have been published during the election silence.

The Weekly article will surely affect today's results.

Here's a comment from its author.

Why did you publish your article on the Election Day?

I published it as soon as I got hold of all the evidence.

I believe people should know the truth, especially before the election

when they are supposed to decide whom they should vote for.

I don't want to comment any further. Everything's in my article. Thank you.

I'm sorry it's going to end this way.

I didn't know about the attack or the blast.

It doesn't matter now.

You dragged me into this mess.

Please leave.

He's just arrived.

I'll handle that.

All experts say it's been the hardest campaign for years.

The turnout has been 51%.

The polling stations are now closing.

We'll be able to announce the exit poll results.

The election silence will end in a moment.

And we'll find out which party has won the election.

Let's take a look at the figures.

Though these are the exit poll results,

it's clear one of the parties is likely to govern alone.

- But which one? That is the question. - We'll find out in a moment.

And now...

And now it's clear.

The Liberty Congress wins the election.

PM Kostrzewa has won a second term in power.

Two other parties have won seats in the Sejm.

It's a complete election surprise.

We're going live from the Congress campaign office

to hear the speech delivered by PM Kostrzewa.

It was a difficult campaign.

The winner turns out to be politics based on truth and honesty.

The Poles have once again proved

they care for a stable and responsible government.

It's a token of appreciation for what we did in the previous term.

And a mandate of trust for the next four years.

We've lost.

I'd like to be able to tell you that things are fine.

That we've succeeded, that we've won seats in the Parliament.

But you know we were lied to.

Our voters were lied to.

So was I.

That's why at first, I reacted like you did:

I wanted to back out of politics.

But wouldn't it make us real losers?

It would be a failure to surrender now.

We have to keep going!

We'll clean our ranks by removing those who let us down.

By working hard, we'll try to prove that we deserve the trust of the Poles.

We won't let anyone lie to them.

Seeing how committed you are

and how strongly you believe in new politics,

I'm telling you this...

You are the real Revival!

You did great.

Thank you.

For what?

For the last week.

Do you know what you're doing?

Take care of yourself.
