Zdzisław Najmrodzki shouldn't feel safe anywhere.

The Metropolitan Militia Department, in exchange for information

leading directly to the capture of this wanted criminal,

is offering a cash reward of two million zloty.

[man] Najmro! Bravo!

The elusive king of the underworld

has committed numerous robberies, break-ins and getaways.

[singer] How much was it before?

Now in the news from the east…

The increase in the cost of alcohol…

Cops suck, man.

The reward's two mil for you?

I've got a pitch.

One of us goes and turns you in.

We tip them off.

You get arrested.

We collect the reward money.

Then you break out, we pocket the dough.

When there's that much on you, we can split then.

And who sells more product than me? I know what I'm doing.

Yeah, I know. I know.

There are four types of clients.

Hi, is Elwira here?

She got fired.

Oh.

I didn't know.

So how about you give me few posters?

Nah, I don't think so.

Gotta earn them first.

So I'll buy a ticket.

No, uh, a poster, please?

After the film.

Uh, when's it shown?

Nothing's been scheduled yet.

Please, I just bought this.

I need to sell ten tickets first.

[chuckles]

God. What a stupid rule.

Ahem.

Just lucky.

Are you sure about that?

[sergeant] Well, we don't have the full documentation.

He's been active cross-country.

Get all the information.

Oh, but that's gonna mean calling all the regional headquarters, sir.

And divisional, and the metro.

And district, too.

And make me a list of Pewex stores without alarms.

[sighs]

So, what are you all dressed up for?

My wife and I have a date.

[laughs]

She hasn't seen me in a week.

Well, she should consider that a blessing.

I made it myself.

Guess you gotta walk.

I see you've got a motorcycle there.

-Aren't you scared to be in public? -'Cause I'll get robbed?

-You'll get turned in. -There's a reward on me. You could snitch.

Yeah, but I'm not a snitch.

So, hop on?

250 with an injector from Mikuni.

-You've got pretty good taste. -Aren't you a smooth talker?

997 MILITIA

Over the last few weeks, the media all through the country has been abuzz.

The news of the break-ins

at the places of business of the export empire Pewex,

committed by a man we're familiar with, infamous Zdzisław Najmrodzki.

And this is why we's like to refresh your memory

with a profile of this so-called Getaway King.

[electronic music]

WANTED REWARD

RECONSTRUCTION OF EVENTS

[man] Uh, before I announce his sentencing,

will the defendant like the opportunity to make a… statement?

-Yes, your honor. -[judge] Go ahead, please.

My mom brought me up to have good manners,

and so that's why I'd like to bid farewell.

Goodbye.

[man] Catch him! Stop!

Halt! Stop him!

-[actor playing Najmro] Whoo! -[engine revving]

-Stop! -[electronic music]

Stop!

Stop!

I installed it.

Here's one.

-And two. -Mm-hm.

They're pretty solid.

It's, uh, worth the cost.

Well, that's really all I could do.

Yeah, so now we just wait around until the robbers try to break in.

Any day now.

It'd be great if the lieutenant could remind headquarters

that we really need an alarm installed here.

I'm here for that reason. The militiamen were inconvenienced by this.

-And militiawomen. -[laughs]

It's not often we see women in the force. Is it?

-[chuckles] -[laughs]

Very rarely. I think our country's changing now.

Yeah.

[bleeping]

Hands up, pull down your pants, and give me cash.

You photo's peeling off.

Yeah, I see that.

And? They have one?

Excellent news.

You're looking good.

Yeah, you are.

[woman] Bye, darling.

-Got one? -No, man.

Bet he's seen some real shit.

-Guys like that are mean. -Quiet.

[man] Do you think I can take my knife in with me?

Give me the names of the accomplices to your crimes.

My crimes? Did I ever hurt anyone?

The stores are all empty. The people aren't provided for.

And when the state fails, then I can help.

I guess that makes you Robin Hood.

Now give me the names of the accomplices to your crimes.

Aah, Lieutenant's a little ungrateful. [chuckles]

When I held out my hand and saved his life. [tuts]

People like you used to get their hands chopped off.

Don't know why they stopped.

I understand. Mr. Lieutenant's in a new work setting.

He's acclimatising, he's adapting. So, new co-workers like him?

He's a country boy. I can tell.

Aah!

[laughs]

[gasps] I feel I owe the lieutenant an apology.

But then, he's the one who started it, so I've got to finish it.

Just wanna say that, with all of my heart, that I really don't wanna have to do this.

You're it.

When you're good at what you do, you tend to get attention.

You're clearly not good enough, 'cause the news still shows your mug.

Huh!

Hurry up and get a place of your own so I don't have to smack you so much.

How would you go about solving this problem?

[siren wails]

[997 Militia theme music]

Oh, I think this is gonna be good.

Today I have with me in the studio Lieutenant Wróbel.

Uh, lieutenant, would you say Najmrodzki's case

is-- is a catastrophe for the police force?

[Wróbel] I just want to stress, this is completely unfair.

There is a kind of legend surroounding Najmrodzki--

[Terezka] I guess I see that.

-Huh, Dad? -TV lies to you.

Oh, true, true.

When I was your age, the cops gave me such a beating…

[grunts]

…that I spent a week recuperating in intensive care.

Don't stay up too late.

[host] But hang on, sir. I think you do have to admit this particular criminal

has demonstrated before the public

the most effective and attention-getting way

to thumb one's nose at the Militia.

So, I'd like to point out that the media's not framing this issue correctly.

The criminals in this country are getting even smarter.

And that makes the work we do that much more difficult.

But obviously, society has a certain set of expectations for the Militia--

And it hardly helps us that society keeps taking his side.

For us, those of us who are militiamen,

it's unacceptable.

Our best men are searching high and low for him.

And I believe that they're close on his heels.

[Najmro] Uh…

-How do you think this'll pan out? -There's the issue of how to prosecute.

-I'm not dying to be on TV, you know. -I can figure it out.

-I'd imagine that… -Don't worry.

-Promise it'll be fine? -…significant public outcry…

This won't work out if not.

-[laughs] -…a maximum sentence,

but given the number of times he's managed to evade police capture,

and break out of prison…

-So, what now? -…would be standard sentencing procedure

to give him lengthier and more high-security prison time.

Probably time to talk.

Several districts have vowed…

Now's not the time for talking.

-What is it? -…regardless of public opposition

in the event that Najmrodzki is detained within their jurisdiction.

However, it's worth noting that these same districts

have been known to change their tune and rule differently at the last minute

in the face of widespread protest.

So, ladies and gentlemen.

I suppose it remains to be seen how this will all play out.

Thank you for joining us.

-Right. -[phone rings]

I'll-- I'll call you back.

Sergeant Ujma.

[man] We got the address of the woman. You got a pen?

-Yes. -I'll dictate.

[in Polish] Would you allow your future wife to make any changes if she wanted to?

I don't know, my lady.

[woman] A great love requires great sacrifice.

The greatest.

[man] And you, for example…

What would you sacrifice for passion?

[woman] You seem to doubt the strength of my feelings.

And yet the one I'll fall in love with…

-Stupid. -Greedy?

-The masses. -[snaps fingers]

This is what they want.

And it's not on the market.

So we take from those who have it and sell it to those who don't.

Honest sales. Real, equitable sales.

-And profitable. -Pewex is Pewex. Nobody ever got hurt.

Those cars belong to someone. People really aren't going to like it.

-How much? -I've got three other buyers.

Although… ladies pick first.

Maybe I am, maybe I'm not.

Negotiator, ah… negotiates,

down or even up.

He just wants to put on a show.

-Two four. -Five.

Two point nine.

You're gonna change the tires?

Maybe I will, maybe I won't.

-Uh-huh. I can have two Fiats. -Yeah, but used.

Well, 2,800.

With the tires.

And the fourth one is…

The Looker.

A Looker?

The Looker.

Sir, you need any help?

I'm just having a look.

You pick. Country home, house in the suburbs…

-And I guess we'll have kids? -Why not?

I wonder who's going to give birth?

-[sighs] -Seriously.

-You're not gonna make it. -Wanna bet me?

"Thanksfor your hospitality."

"But the food was lousy."

"Best wishes to Lieutenant Barski. Warm regards, Zdzisiek."

Left this on his bunk bed.

Well, well, well.

A student of the October Revolution Academy.

Revolution.

He's laughing in our faces.

What are you punks still doing here?

We're not playing around any more. You find him and shoot him.

To death?

To death.

We don't want martyrs.

It's our duty to remove this cancer from our socialist society.

Understand?

The last tango.

-[cat miaows] -Have you told them yet?

They're gonna be pissed, you know?

Still, the sooner, the better.

You don't need more trouble.

What do you mean by "last tango"?

This'll be our last tango.

We're gonna sell the wheels and that's it.

I think your bitch messed with your head.

She's not yours, so don't be so rude.

Don't you worry. Just sit and look pretty.

For years, we've all worked for you.

We've risked a lot.

We've gotten you out of trouble.

-Now you wanna close it on us? -What did I tell you when we started?

-Back at our first go? -Mm-hm.

That nothing's more important than the crew.

That's right. No one's gonna walk away empty-handed.

What the fuck are you talking about? Look at the state of these bearings here!

This thing's a hunk of junk, man.

Get out of here, man.

We'll lower by ten.

So, who's the one selling?

It's a joint venture.

So, got a deal?

It's a deal.

[thump]

I beat the shit out of that fucker.

What you handed over to that dumbass…

I took back.

Do you understand why there's so much money on my head and not on yours?

Because I can see farther ahead than you can.

Because I can see that we won't get far with tricks like that.

Because you're so much smarter than the rest of us.

[sighs]

I'd like you to deal me in.

Fucking deal me in now!

Uh, no.

This time, it was a psychic.

A very good citizen.

You've got an enemy.

You got ten years.

Congratulations.

-There are still ways. -And after that?

-You said this would stop and it didn't. -Someone turned me in. What do you want?

So then everyone's a crook and you're totally perfect?

Uh, I am if you say so.

If you end up breaking out of here, you should go your own way.

[coughs]

And if you get out a free man, I'll be there.

You'll wait that long?

But yuo've gotta behave.

You kep your damn head down, help out, study, work hard.

Teresa. Teresa!

I'll be good, I'll keep my head down, and?

You'll get out early.

And I'll be here waiting for you.

I'll be here.

[man on television] Many shops are running promotions and exclusive offers.

Some of them are preparing packages of good for their new potential customers.

For the first time since the border was opened,

there was a disturbance near the Brandenburg Gate,

on the Western side.

Throngs of youths with hammers, bolt-cutters and hooks,

had managed to heavily damange a segment of the cement wall,

which they then removed by tractor,

creating a sizeable breach in the partition.

The Western Berlin police then intervened.

[crowd chanting and applauding]

[shouting]

[cheering]

Can you help me with this?

We gota new captain. Or so it seems.

[Ujma] Not captain. Commissioner.

And it doesn't seem. It is.

Yeah.

[man on radio] Today in Warsaw, 11 apartments were broken into.

There were five assaults with robbery, two battery assaults,

and 18 homicides.

I'm happy for you, really.

And now, we can finally discuss things professionally.

Ambitious man to high-powered man.

-Eh, do we have to? -No. I don't think so.

And so we won't talk. Ever.

That was insubordination!

"I never imagined I would turn to crime."

"But I did what I had to under the regime of the previous government."

"And you're aware of how unfair it was, because you fought to overturn it."

"That government denied us our rights.

"And that's why it collapsed, in part thanks to you."

"That is why, my dear sir, I'm coming to you with a humble request…"

And so on and so on.

The president.

Good morning.

What have you done to yourself? You were such a handsome boy.

My boss is a little worried about the safety of your shop here.

And therefore…

No need to thank me.

I do it out of the goodness of my heart.

I mean, you need to leave quickly.

You're no longer the man of the hour.

ZDZISŁAW NAJMRODZKI BELOVED SON, LIVED 41 YEARS

[church bell tolling

[man on television] Zdzisław Najmrodzki, the infamous criminal,

has been pronounced dead.

This pronouncement has been confirmed by the Metropolitan Police headquarters.

In his heyday, he was called "The Getaway King."

He was renowned and even celebrated

for having evaded capture by law enforcement multiple times.

It went up in flames.

I mean, the body, uh, underwent total charring.

Anyway, our current working hypothesis is that he was probably chasing somebody.

Or being chased by someone.

Yes, sir?

[woman] Commissioner, can you clarify what you--

[lively jazz plays]

My condolences.

Zdzisiek.

Check. And mate.
