Original subtitles

- They really did it? - Check out Jasiek's profile and see.

He's not on my list of friends.

Listen. Yogi's lying on the couch, totally sloshed.

They stripped him down to his underwear

and scrawled all over him with markers.

Then they shaved his head and made him piss all over himself.

How do you make a guy do that?

You stick his hand in a bowl of warm water.

That's crap.

Wanna bet Yogi won't show up at school?

- 100 zlotys? - No way.

- Ten? - Come on, man.

Kuba!

Kuba!

Wait, I'll get him. He won't find his way back.

What's wrong?

What are you guys doing?

Don't go there. Let's get out of here.

Don't go there!

Joanna... Joanna...

Maciek, don't.

- Come on. - Leave me alone!

Joanna.

Leave her. I'll call the police.

What do you have?

The prosecutor will be here in 30 minutes.

Maciek Dabrowa and brothers Krystian and Kuba Wroblewski.

Aged 17, 17 and 21. All three live in Dobrowice.

They found the girl's body at around 8:50am.

It's Joanna Walewska, their classmate.

We're securing the site.

The boys are in the police car.

- The 21-year-old's in their class? - It's that retarded boy.

From that hippie family?

Two boys are theirs, the third is the forester's kid.

I see. Jacek's son.

Take them to the police station.

- And the dead girl? - She's not going anywhere.

How old can she be?

Seventeen?

- It's probably the victim's. - Let me see that.

- How much is there? - 3,400, Chief.

If you pinched anything, put it back right now.

Write it up as evidence.

Note it down: 4,000 zlotys were found in the victim's purse.

What are you staring at?

We have a stiff. Get to work!

Take one of the men and go and tell her parents.

You expect me to do it?

Leslaw. I'll brief you later. Don't cross the police line.

Who found her?

I did, sir.

- You didn't touch anything? - No.

I mean Maciek touched her dress.

- Cat got your tongue, Maciek? - She was his girlfriend, sir.

His girlfriend?

- We came to get our boys. - You're their mother?

Yes. We're taking them home.

- They found a body. - That's right.

Can't you see how upset they are?

Let's go, boys.

Maciek, come.

Maciek.

Maciek!

What happened?

Joanna Walewska is dead.

- What do you mean? - They say it was suicide.

Our boys and Maciek found her.

What's up?

Pour me a shot, Grazyna.

- You want a bite to eat? - Yeah.

Honey, get the potato and cheese dumplings from the fridge.

- You don't drink before sunset. - So they say.

We've notified the parents.

Pour me another one. And a round for the boys.

- Are these potato and cheese? - Yes.

Clear the table.

We don't want Elblag involved.

It's our case.

- We'll have to... - What?

Question that Wroblewski boy and Maciek Dabrowa.

Why do you want to question Maciek?

Ewelina, that Joanna Walewska...

Was she a classmate of yours?

Give me that.

What happened? The police are here.

I don't know. Maciek and I found her in the forest.

How's he holding up?

Pretty badly.

Say something or I'll go nuts.

I heard they found some pills in her purse.

You think Maciek gave them to her?

I can't talk right now.

We talked a few days ago. She was so happy.

She'd made plans for college.

Two years before graduation. Can you believe it?

I'll never make up my mind.

Here.

I'm an idiot, Ola. I should have been there for her.

I should've noticed something. I shouldn't have been so selfish.

Stop it. It's not your fault. Don't work yourself up.

I'm worried about Maciek.

I hope he won't do anything stupid.

Maciek! Son, I've made you some sandwiches.

You have to eat something!

I know this is difficult for you.

Have a look at these items.

Do you recognise them?

Money...

- It's not yours? - No.

And the pills?

Your daughter was taking psychotropic drugs?

No.

She never took any medication at all.

She was healthy.

When did you last see her?

In the morning, two days ago.

- She didn't come home for the night. - She didn't come home?

She was to sleep over at her friend's place.

Ewa...

What's wrong?

All right, so...

Please come in. We're just about finished.

Let me introduce you.

Daniel Poreba, our sports coach.

Pawel Zawadzki, our new Polish teacher.

Hello.

Drop your bag and have a seat.

I can offer you part-time hours and a six-month contract.

Suits me fine.

Frankly, it wasn't easy.

You know, last moment changes to the schedule...

I understand. I'm very grateful.

It's not every day that someone comes here from Warsaw, from a good school.

It's quite unexpected.

What brings you to Dobrowice with your experience?

A number of things, some are personal.

I won't pry.

- Do you have a place to stay? - Yes.

You've come to the right place.

Our school has been doing great over the past few years.

We're fifth in the regional ranking. We can top that.

I hope you'll find some time for extracurricular activities.

I'm counting on it.

Welcome aboard.

One more thing.

Yesterday, we had some tragic news. One of our students has died.

You'll be teaching her class.

- You're starting today? - Tomorrow.

No, thanks.

Right. A beer to break the ice?

Someone has to fill you in.

- Great. In an hour? - OK, I'm buying.

- Where? - The bar by the lake.

- Super. - See you!

Come in!

- Anything from the parents? - Nothing. No mobile phone found.

- You searched? - Within a 500-metre radius.

Search dogs could help.

Search the area within a kilometre.

I can't get you dogs. You have to ask a week in advance.

Go!

- But... - What?

I'm asking you for a dog, not a rhino.

In a week it'll be too late.

Rain will wash away all traces.

No search dogs in suicide cases.

You smell that stench?

Smells like rotten meat.

I guess dogs would get confused.

Rafal?

Freeze!

- What are you doing here? - Jogging.

Or covering up traces?

Look.

Where did you get that?

The PIN is 1 1 1 1, if you want to call.

OK, thanks.

He's clean.

The school principal confirmed your identity.

- Did you ask him about the kids? - Yes.

We can't question them yet. He has to notify the education board.

Can I go now?

- What were you doing by that tree? - Tying up my shoe.

- Why did you go up there? - I followed the path.

You can't cross a police line!

Why are you securing a site you've combed?

- How do you know we have? - You mean you haven't?

We're conducting an investigation. I ask the questions here.

I won't bother you. Can I go?

If you want to question the kids, do it in school.

Why?

It's their comfort zone. They'll tell you more.

Fucking teacher.

Get some gloves.

This place is the pits.

The cinema closed three years ago. Two bars.

All people do is gossip as if they were getting paid for it.

When I go out at night, it feels like everyone's dead.

- So why haven't you left? - To do what?

Wash dishes?

- Another pint, please. - You've had enough.

This is our editor.

Leslaw Dobrzanski, of "The Dobrowice Voice".

Is the Friday edition put to bed?

- I've seen you before. - He just got here today.

I've seen you before today.

He even remembers grain growing during the days of martial law.

Go home and get some sleep.

I do odd jobs on the side.

I coach the local girls' basketball team.

See? It's a fucking amusement park!

Tell me...

What the hell is a big-city guy like you doing here?

Like you said, it's an amusement park.

Did you coach class 2A?

Only the girls.

That Joanna... What a tragedy.

What was she like?

She was better at basketball than at volleyball.

Better on the defence than on the attack.

I didn't have to make her trim her nails,

and she didn't take stupid selfies.

An outsider.

Outsider?

What a big-city word.

Cheers.

She'll be first in line.

- Hello, Auntie. - Hello, handsome. Finally.

- You're a man now. - And you're prettier than ever.

You're not good at lying. Come inside.

I'll move this stuff later. I didn't have time.

I'll do it. No rush.

Right...

Why did you come here? Is there a shortage of girls in Warsaw?

I've got something for you.

What did you get an old woman? Slippers?

Open it.

- It's too nice. - Put it on.

Come on.

I made supper. Like it or not, you have to eat it.

Fuck!

Look.

It's that retard.

Hi, buddy.

Want a beer?

You don't want a sip? Drink!

Jasiek, cool it.

Is it stale or what?

I think he's had enough.

What did you say?

I said he's had some. That's enough.

- Do you have a fucking problem? - Jasiek, don't freak out.

I don't have a problem.

I see your mum's ironed your shirt for you. It'd be a shame to be late for school.

Right, Jasiek?

Fuck you.

Let's go.

Thank you.

It's a sad day for all of us.

However, I have a few announcements to make.

I'm sure you've noticed that we've renovated our auditorium.

We owe it to the generosity of our students' parents,

Mr and Mrs Molenda.

Please come on stage. Thank you.

This school year we have a new Polish teacher.

Straight from Warsaw, Pawel Zawadzki!

Dabrowa! Tarczynski!

Stop it!

I'll kill you, bastard!

I'll kill you!

Maciek!

Suspend Maciek Dabrowa. That's it.

Relax, have you never seen two students fighting?

Stress-free upbringing.

I bet it was over a girl.

Here's our new Polish teacher, Pawel Zawadzki.

He'll teach second-year classes.

Nice to see you again.

Did you teach in public or private high schools?

Private.

Welcome to the real world.

- I taught at YPPC for four years. - Where?

Youth Psychotherapy and Prevention Centre.

- A correctional school? - A place for kids who have problems.

And who cause problems.

Sir, some class hours overlap.

It's negligent.

That's what you get when you make last minute changes.

Katarzyna and Grzegorz Molenda, our guardian angels.

Pawel Zawadzki is our new Polish teacher in class 2A.

You'll be teaching our kids, Jasiek and Julka.

I hope you make them read more than just web posts.

Katarzyna helps kids from poor families in her foundation "A Better Tomorrow".

It's a lot of work. Do you run it by yourself?

I have staff workers and volunteers.

- We manage. - We're late.

We won't keep you. Pawel, this way.

Marta Mirska, 2A form teacher.

- Hello. - Pawel Zawadzki.

- If you have any questions... - I'll be glad to answer them.

Can I meet my students?

They're in classroom 35.

I'll get their timetable.

Which way is it?

This way.

Maciek really freaked out. What was that about?

He's screwed up.

No, he isn't. He found her.

- Lukasz sold her those pills? - Stop it!

Mind your own business!

Hello.

I knew we'd see him again.

- Then why did you fuck with him? - I fucking wanted to.

I just came to say hello.

I'm so sorry.

You've met your new Polish teacher?

Yes, they have. See you later.

What would you like, sir?

Fuck! Pour me a shot.

Where's your old man?

I've been waiting for ages.

What's going on? I have to go back to work.

Promise that you'll keep your mouth shut.

Grzegorz, how long have we known each other?

Whatever.

It's the opportunity of a lifetime.

A furniture company from Sweden.

They want to buy land in Dobrowice and build a factory.

- They have money to burn. - Where do we fit in?

We'll buy state land and sell it to the Swedes for ten times more.

- I'm running on loans. - Who isn't?

You'll make more money on it than you can in ten years.

Think what the town will gain.

1,500 new jobs. Get it?

Split evenly?

Listen, I am Dobrowice.

I guarantee everyone will get a slice of the pie.

It's a deal.

No dinner for me. Two doughnuts and tea, please.

A cheese sandwich and juice.

- How about a beer tonight? - No, thanks. I've got paperwork.

Leave it for later.

Five zlotys?

Come to my basketball practice at six.

When you see those hot chicks, you'll forget about paperwork.

You know where to find me.

And lemon.

- What are you doing here? - I'm waiting for Tarczynski.

Even if he sold her those pills, it's not his fault.

Stop defending him.

If someone helped her do it, I'll kill that person myself.

I loved her too.

You can walk me home. Come!

To good memory!

I wish I were wrong, but I remember you.

July 1996.

The year Gryf Dobrowice beat Stalowiec Borki.

The big forest fire.

You had long hair and pants torn at the knees.

The locals didn't like it.

Newcomers are a rare sight.

- People leave town? - What can they do here?

Wash glasses in bars?

She lost a friend three days ago.

The girl killed herself. A top student.

Maybe we don't know everything.

Like what?

I was jogging yesterday and saw the spot where they found her.

So what?

If she had poisoned herself, she would've vomited.

But the ground was clean.

What do we know?

Just what the papers write.

Thanks for the drink.

Good!

Come on, Sadurska! Go! Counter-attack!

Chin up! It'll get better.

Move!

Faster!

Sadurska!

Didn't you have breakfast or what?

Now! Sadurska!

Last play! Move!

Game over.

Not bad, not bad.

I see some of you didn't waste your holidays slumped on the sofa.

Sadurska, good assists. You know what legs are for.

Julka, work on your speed.

Get to the changing room.

Move it! Don't you have classes?

Great. You scored 20 points.

Rozlucka!

Your shirt.

The prosecutor called. She's going to be late.

We'll start without her.

Doctor...

These hair strands are shorter.

- Should I mention it in the report? - Let's see what's inside her first.

I'm not a hairstyle expert.

I'm not the coach's type. That's why he's picking on me.

He does that when he likes a girl.

Arrogant pig.

He's coming on to you. Remember the lines he used on Joanna?

- Maciek would kill him if he knew. - She'd never tell him.

- Joanna wanted to break up with him. - Really?

She told me before the holidays.

It doesn't matter now.

Maciek must've suspected something.

- Good morning. - Hello.

Ruptured spleen.

Have a look.

Only a kick or a hard blow could rupture the spleen of a young and strong girl.

She bled to death in minutes.

- Are you suggesting...? - The bathroom's at the end of the hall.

Anything else?

Abrasions on her wrists.

They're quite wide. She must've been tied up.

You should get some fresh air.

One more thing worries me. I need more time.

Culture keeps telling the story of the same heroes over again.

Cezary Baryka is no different from Harry Potter.

Greek myth heroes resemble comic superheroes.

The story of "The Lion King" is practically a copy of "Hamlet".

Then they made it into "Avatar".

It's a remake of "Pocahontas", you moron.

You mean we'll understand Kordian if we compare him to Batman?

You can do that...

Maciek Dabrowa.

...if it makes the book more readable to you.

Can't we just download a summary from the web?

Let the teacher show off how fucking great he is.

Some things are worth knowing.

What for?

To help you understand who you are.

Why, for instance, you wear pants that sag off your butt.

Because skinny pants are for fags?

If you knew how many of my fag friends wear pants like yours, I bet you'd stop.

As a matter of fact, they derive from prison uniforms.

Black rappers started wearing them in solidarity with brothers in prison,

where belts are banned.

OK, now a test.

As a warm-up, write a short story. I won't grade it.

About someone you know, someone close to you.

Describe that person as if he or she were a book character.

We're still waiting for the autopsy report,

but we know Joanna Walewska was most likely murdered.

We'll have the prosecutor, the press and TV reporters on our backs.

She was a young girl from a good family.

So for now, the official story is still suicide.

- What's our job? - We got search dogs.

Baniocha, you'll search for the phone in the forest.

If I have to.

Marysia...

- Did I say something funny? - No.

Marysia, you'll check her calls, Facebook and social media.

Papinski, you'll ask around. Talk to people who knew her.

And go to the school principal. I want the kids here tomorrow.

Can't we do it in school?

It'll be less stressful for them and we'll question more kids at one time.

I spoke to the principal. We can do it today.

Tomorrow.

Good, Jowita. Do you know this person?

I knew her.

Why the past tense?

She died recently.

Her name was Hela. She was my grandmother.

She loved me very much.

At the end of her life, she was like a little child.

She asked me to play slapsies.

Slapsies? Yogi likes using his hands.

Silence.

You want to go on?

Thanks, Jowita.

Who's next?

- How about you, Ola? - I haven't finished my story.

Thank you.

Ewelina?

Sorry. Some people here get too excited.

See? And you had such a fucking great idea for classwork!

Maciek Dabrowa?

"When someone disappears from your life so suddenly,

"you feel like that person never really existed.

"That feeling is terrifying.

"Worse than the actual loss.

"It's like that someone was just a dream.

"I loved that person very much.

"Now that she's gone, I don't know who she really was.

"We spent many nights talking about the senselessness of life,

"about fears and the future.

"Was she her real self then?

"Or was it at the beach last year,

"when she built a sand castle with a lemon beer bottle tower?

"Maybe she was herself

"at the time when I no longer understood her.

"When I knew she was wrapped up in a world I couldn't be part of.

"When she told me things which hurt like hell.

"When I no longer knew if I loved her... or hated her.

"Or both."

Thank you, Maciek.

Thanks.

Thank you.

It's here.

- Number 16. - I'll open it.

What's this?

YOU SHOULD BE DEAD AND BURIED!

YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!

I HATE YOU

SLUT! I'LL DESTROY YOU
