Original subtitles

- Praised be Jesus Christ. - Now and for ever.

Szymon, I haven't seen you in so long.

How is your health?

I broke an arm, but it's all better now.

And you... Do you sleep well?

Better?

Better, somewhat.

But maybe you could do the ritual for me, just in case?

I Will, I Will.

But you speak. How's home?

You've seen your father?

Father. Yeah...

He visited me recently, that's all.

So you two spoke a bit?

We sat down,

I gave him some tea...

What do you want?

I would like to...

I would like to apologize...

Apologize?

For I...

I left you

and...

wont to jail.

You say "went", not "wont".

Besides, what do I care?

- Because now you are all alone? - I am not,

so what are you apologizing for?

You don't want to apologize,

you're looking to clear your conscience.

You have nightmares now

and think that if I listen to this wailing, those nightmares will pass. Bullshit.

I won't forgive you.

I won't forgive you any of it.

I want to make up for it...

I want to do something for you?

Too late.

Maybe you...

Perhaps you need money?

I would... I would sell my kidney just to...

You'd better buy a brain, rather than sell a kidney.

I don't need you now!

I needed you then!

- I apologize to you... - Go now.

Leave now, for you are holding him back

and release him, for there is only darkness...

Leave now, for you are holding him back

and release him, for there is only darkness...

- Did you shit your pants? - Of course I fucking did!

Where is the boy?

Listen, I found his medallion and his blanket.

And your shoes, the ones that left traces at Morawski's...

Where do you keep him?

You kidnapped the boy and he was here.

You hid him somewhere else. Where is he?

Who are you helping?

Are you afraid of them?

Alright, knock him out!

Or call Tylenda, he can send that pitbull of his over.

I'm sure he can speak to him, man to man.

Whom were you helping?

Where is the boy?!

He kidnapped a child.

Half a million thrown into a lake...

What's that all about?

I don't understand.

- They've got him! - Who?

The new guy from Lódz found him.

They found Rafal?

No, not Rafal. They found the creep who kidnapped him.

How do we know that he kidnapped him?

Alright, I'll go interrogate him. If something comes up, call me.

Sure thing, Sherlock.

I'll go with him.

- Hey there. - Hey.

So, where is that brute?

Bogdan Wasiluk.

Wasiluk?

OK, I'm gonna take care of him, you stay here.

Wait, what... what do you mean?

What do you think? That we all need to be on this case?

The local commander calls me to say that your boss doesn't want us

bothering you with our business.

You're on the cigarette case. Is that clear?

You know that can wait. Who's going to interrogate him? Kaponow?

- He'll get nothing out of him. - We will see about that!

Now, move over.

Gentlemen, let's go! I'll be following you.

Close the door.

Well, I love the smell of failure in the morning...

Lend me your car.

Or what?

I know you steal paper from the photocopier.

What?

Can we go back to the case?

Hello?

- Damn... Yeah, hello? - Hi.

Hey, I want you to check someone out for me. Hold one just one minute, ok?

Ok, Bogdan Wasiluk, born in Suprasl in 1954.

He has a son, Szymon.

Will do.

- Get on it right away, will you? - I need 20 minutes...

Criminal records, employment, addresses, everything...

- Fuck! - What happened?

Nothing, everything's fine. I just have this other case. Young Sadko.

Sadko?

Yes, the truck guy. I need information about this Sadko

from the border crossings in Bobrowniki and Kuznica.

When will he be there next?

- Ok. - Thanks.

One of them is yours.

I don't want any, thanks...

Give me a break. One's yours, just like we agreed.

Take it, since I'm giving it to you.

I won't give you two, I like chewing gum.

Are you gonna take it? Kruk!

Why won't you take this chewing gum off me?

'Cause I don't want to! I don't like gum!

Everybody likes gum! I MEAN EVERYBODY LIKES GUM!!

Let go of me!

Tell me, Kruk. Did you know what was gonna happen in there?

You knew and you made me go in!

- You faggot! - Shut your face or I'm gonna wreck you.

You're a dick, a faggot, an asshole.

- Faggot! Faggot! - Shut your face.

Kruk, what are you doing? Leave him!

- Are you alright? - Yes.

You sure? Show me.

Got your glasses?

Bogdan Wasiluk, aged 64,

worked in a tobacco warehouse till 1991.

That's when the "battery resulting in death" case surfaced.

Wasiluk was accused and sentenced to 8 years of prison.

Wasiluk was a single parent to a boy, who was sent to a foster family.

He is a math teacher in primary school.

I talked to his district's police officer. He says the man is a drunk.

He is sometimes sent to a facility to sleep it off.

Last time they locked him up was yesterday night,

but they released him at 6:30 in the morning.

Great, thanks.

Can I look up something else for you?

No, I'll call you later.

How is your father doing?

I don't know.

You don't know how he is?

I don't keep in touch.

Why?

You are phrasing your question like a little child. So I will answer as if you were one:

because.

You don't like young children?

How does your father make a living now?

I don't know.

What were you doing last night?

I was in bed.

You are lying.

When did you last see your father?

And when was the last time you saw yours?

Mr. Wasiluk, your father stepped into a very...

- difficult situation. - And what do I have to do with it?

I am gathering information about him,

about his friends, about his whereabouts and what he is up to.

I can't help you.

You are sure

you haven't heard any stories about your father? Rumors? Anything?

No.

This is my phone number. If something comes up, do call me.

So, which one?

You know what... I'll call my husband. I'l ask for his advice.

Ok.

Hi Adam, I need your...

Annie, I can't talk right now, I'll call you back in a couple of minutes.

...help...

And what did he say?

Sky blue.

Sorry.

Address?

Sienkiewicza 211, Lódz

You must give me your current residence's address.

And why is that?

So we can react in the case of an emergency.

This is a strong drug, I will not prescribe it without it.

I'm sorry, I have to pick up.

So what's the address?

Piastowska, 95/42.

- Go on. - Hi,

I just got info from Kuznica. Young Sadko is at the border.

I'll send you a text when he crosses it.

Thanks. Do check out that Wasiluk guy, the father. Thoroughly.

Preferably at the archive.

Great, but I can do it in the afternoon...

That will be too late...

Thank you.

Hello grandma.

How is your hand?

I completely forgot it even hurt to begin with.

How come? You broke it!

Show me it!

What happened?

Don't tell me you were trying to do the ritual. Your whispers don't work on breaks.

I needed water from the well yesterday.

So I lifted the bucket and something snapped into place.

My hand feels like new!

If those people up in Warsaw knew that broken bones can be fixed with a bucket of water,

they would probably receive the Nobel prize.

Maybe they would...

I bought you vitamins, bread, and this new sweater.

Oh...

It's not working?

It's nothing. I'll get it repaired.

Why did you do that? I would have taken it to the watchmaker. He could have fixed it.

- I have to go. - ...l made dumplings for dinner.

I have to go, I'm in a hurry. Bye!

- What are they doing here? - They came over to help.

Ruski's fucking ran off.

Say that again, I think I misheard something. What did he do?

Ruski ran away.

You lost a man

with a perforated knee, all beaten up, tied down and closed off in a train car?

Yeah?

You know what...

had you read that on the internet,

you wouldn't have believed it.

A couple of days ago you fucked up so I massacred you

and now you are fucking shit up again?

You know that when a dog jumps onto the couch

and gets a good beating, he never does it again?

Yeah? A fucking dog!

Doesn't make the same mistake twice...

Some American psychologists said,

that we must punish bad behaviors, not the people who exemplify them.

An employee must feel that his bad behaviors are not desirable,

but he, himself, very much is.

Hence,

despite your mistakes, you are still part of our group.

And by fucking you up

I want to punish not you,

but your bad behavior!

OK, boss. They've had enough.

Know what?

I saw the way you were looking at our skinny friend.

- We have a fag in here! - What fag?

What are you looking at? Knock out the faggot!

Come here.

Hit me.

Go on, hit me! Don't be scared.

You punch like a pussy! Harder!

Go on, harder!

What are you looking at, if he hasn't even crossed the border yet?

Are you in a hurry?

Kaponow is probably finishing up his interrogation.

You know, the boys are doing fine without you.

Ouch, is your back hurting?

Shame you didn't run some more in the middle of the night, dumb-ass.

You can look now. He's through.

Fuck!

Motherfucker!

Fine, go on!

- Turn around! - What?

Turn around.

Here.

Look, here.

Hey, ey, ey, ey.

Should I call someone?

Do you remember the number?

It's peculiar how humid Belarus is.

All your seals have come off.

Hands, hands!

- Now, let's freaking go. Move it, move it. - You're in a hurry? Again?

Get in!

Much ado about nothing. Everything's fine.

The baby is healthy. It's all due to stress.

If it's work, take some time off.

If it's a guy, sidetrack him.

I think life at large that stresses me out...

I don't want to tell you what to do, but

this baby can't speak just yet, so I'll speak instead.

Stress is no good for them.

If you are scared, I can talk to him.

Just don't try to bargain.

What is this about?

Do you see him?

His truck's GPS shows us that he made a pit stop in the woods,

a stone's throw from the border

- so no big deal, for now.

If you want things to remain that way, you'll come with us

and you will testify that you invited men into an orphanage,

allowing them to fulfill their sexual desires with underage boys.

What will interest me most is their names

because I know everything else, in detail.

What orphanage? What is this about?

Listen, the cigarette smugglers are waiting for him on both sides of the border.

His GPS can't endlessly show a position in the middle of nowhere,

because that will mean that there is a problem.

And if there is a problem, a red lamp goes off in their heads.

What do you mean?

That you either fucking come along to give us those names

or your son will accompany us and will be in a lot of trouble.

Wait, let's talk, maybe we can make a deal.

What did I say at the beginning - don't try to bargain.

Jesus“.

Jesus“.

Who did this to you?

You do know that even if we fight, you are still my brother, right?

Can you listen to me just this once?

We don't have any parents, but we have each other. I want to help.

So, what was it this time?

A brawl?

Or did the other team get their hands on you?

Tomek...

Tomek, there is no shit in this world that I wouldn't be able to pull you out of.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Last time I confided in you, you tried building your career around it.

- No, I... - Leave.

- I did not try to build my career... - Get the fuck out of here!

- I have one condition. - Condition! A request is the most you can have.

I would like the prosecutor to come from outside of Bialystok.

They all know each other here.

And not in the precinct. Can that be arranged?

Funny how our story should make a full circle, brother.

All it took was a little stubbornness, a bit of free time

and here we are, driving down the highway of justice, so to speak.

Why didn't we do this 20 years sooner?

- Were you afraid? - Somewhat.

Wait, you were scared of him?

And now you're no longer scared?

I am, but there are the two of us now,

so I am scared less.

What is going on?

Everything can be taken care of.

Yeah, everything can be taken care of?

Alright, lights out.

Where's the new kid?

For fuck's sake, what's the matter with you!

You, you, you and you, go and look for him across all floors. Now!

Faster!

People rarely visit me these days.

Most things are electronic now

and if people want older information,

they start with the criminal chronicle of Kurier Podlaski

they don't have to get up from in front of their computer screen.

Lazybones.

Can I rummage through the files?

Sign in and rummage away.

- What letter are you looking for? - "Double U", for Wasiluk.

Double-U For Wasiluk?

- Is that the name? - No, it's Bogdan.

Just kidding!

Here, here, here,

yes, it's here... Wasiluk...

Strange...

it should be here.

Maybe it fell down?

Leaves fall down, not my files.

So somebody took it? But who?

Got it.

Wasiluk's file. Checked out in 1998 by...

there's a signature there.

Hmmm. "T" is the first letter?

- T, I think so, yes. - What "T"s do we have at the precinct?

Trochimczuk, Twaróg, Tereszczenko...

But that was 20 years ago, we've also had a Tomczuk, a Tokaj...

Mr. Edward, could you check the log from this year?

Well, well...

What's this investigation, Ms. Kasia?

That new guy from Lódz sent me here.

Wait! Got it!

Same signature.

A case of beating up a witness at the precinct. ZAC22C

Yes.

ZAC220,

isn't that...

It is.

Tylenda?

THE SUSPECT CHANGES HIS TESTIMONY

Listen, the witness in that battery case, Bogdan Wasiluk,

changed his testimony in regards to accusing Krzysztof Sadko.

- Who? - Krzysztof Sadko.

- Holy cow. - Exactly...

The leading investigator, Tylenda, told the newspaper that the proof for Wasiluk's guilt

was unwavering, even without his admission.

Do we know whom the warehouse belongs to?

Morawski.

Right, so Sadko must be a friend of their's

and they convinced Wasiluk to take all the blame.

Years later, behind bars, he decided that this was a mistake.

As an act of revenge he kidnapped Morawski's grandson.

Right, but why the grandson instead of Morawski himself?

Fuck, I don't know.

Don't tell this to anybody.

- If you have printouts, get rid of them. - Sure.

Did Wasiluk say something about the boy during his interrogation?

- Not a word. - Thanks.

Get out!

Come.

Fucking hell!

- Ms. Kasia? - Yes?

- Do you have tissues? - There you go.

Jesus... what happened to you?

- It's a long story. - Do sit down... sit down.

Does it hurt?

So the road to Ms. Kasia's heart leads through pity, doesn't it?

My brother landed in hospital today, they clocked him too.

He's a policeman too?

No, he's my younger brother.

Which means bigger problems.

I'm sorry...

apologies!

- Nice flat. - Right. Bogdan Wasiluk - know him?

You were accused of battery resulting in somebody's death in 98,

but instead of ending up in jail yourself, Bogdan Wasiluk takes your place.

Last night Morawski's grandson was kidnapped.

Can you guess who's implicated in this? Bogdan Wasiluk himself.

But what do I have to do with this?

Who was guilty in 98?

I remember you. They called you Eagle.

- You were one hell of a brat. - Listen, I don't have time! Tell me!

Or what?

What the hell did you bring him here for?

We can't do anything to him now.

He'll spill, you'll see. He will talk.

Who bashed your face in, huh?

Go to the guys in analytics, check their reports.

- But...? - Check them!

- Listen... - Go!

They rescued Ruski.

I got back there, but I couldn't do anything.

But isn't that proof that he had something to do with this?

"Proof"?

We're looking for my grandson here!

- You blew it. - But...

Now go and get it out of him.

Who was guilty for that '98 crime?!

Wasiluk went to jail, but who was guilty? Motherfucker!

- You want me to fuck you up, huh? - No, don't kill me! Don't kill me!

It was me! I beat up that guy!

Morawski owed me a favor.

He made some kind of promise to Wasiluk

and gave him sixty thousand to get locked up in my place.

Fuck!

And then Wasiluk changed his mind.

- What is this?... - Wait up. Wait up, wait up.

Boss! In the kitchen!

Wasiluk didn't tell them shit because they don't know how to ask questions.

Bunch of idiots.

The boy can still be saved.

Can still be saved. Can still be saved.

It is not too late.

The boy, the boy... don't spoil our efforts, man.

If they find out that Sadko told you something,

you might set our investigation on fire, so to speak.

If they find out that Sadko told you something,

you might set our investigation on fire, so to speak.

Remember what we came here for, loser.

Remember what we came here for, loser.

- It's our fucking priority. - It's our fucking priority.

Are you gonna get in or not? Jump in! What are you waiting for?

He cut himself. Idiot.

Where is Rafal Morawski?

When I say start,

you will start counting to fifty, OK?

Start!

What the hell!? I told you not to interrupt me!

AAA Edziu! Come in, come in.

Welcome.

Where is the boy?

Can you count to sixty?

Thanks, Edziu!

Duty officer?

Let me know when officer Kruk makes his way back here.

What do you mean just did?

Sixty.

Let me in.

Officer Kaponow said it was off-limits.

Let me through, I have to go in there, get it!?

Is there something you'd like to tell me?

What time is it?

- What? - Open it!

KRUK!

Are you leading some kind of investigation that I don't know about? Tell me!

I want to interrogate Wasiluk.

Kruk, fucking answer me!

You've been interrogating him all day and he hasn't said a word. I want to question him.

Why are you getting so worked up man!? Calm down!

Give me a couple of minutes, I want to go in. Move!

Kruk, calm down! Kruk! Kruk, calm down!

- What the fuck? - This is bullshit.
