Forever, Daddy!

Beer and fudge for the kid.

- Is that? - That's all.

And those chocolates, please.

Jędrek… Jędrek!

Haven't I made your day?

Send me this recording with Groń, or you will be meeting the prosecutor.

- How much? - Thirty-five.

- Douchebag! - Dark history of the highlanders

is the backdrop of the murder of the Śleboda family.

Jan Śleboda, like many others, served in Goralenvolk.

We hope that when you are reading this,

the Podhale police are checking whether the evidence obtained by our reporter

confirms his connection with the case,

because so far Wojciech G. hasn't even been questioned.

"Blood at Giewont". Fuck…

Give me a grenade launcher!

Good morning!

Commissioner Andrzej Chowaniec. I'd like to ask you a few questions.

- Go ahead. - We'll talk at the station.

Wojtek, what's going on?

Well, I don't know…

Go back home, darling…

It's probably nothing, I'll be back soon!

- Please… - We'll go in my car.

Am I under arrest?

Anthropologist Anna Serafin confirms that that during World War II…

What…?

…highlanders joined the ranks of German troops.

The highlanders don't like to talk about it.

Cooperation with the Nazis, betrayal of the homeland,

is the past they don't want to return to.

They prefer to remain silent - such is the highlander mentality.

- And what is your mentality? - Kaśka, I don't know what this is…

You don't have a family here anymore!

To slander an innocent man like this…

- Why are you doing this to me again? - Did I lie?

Did I allow you to quote me in your article? No!

- You told me about Goralenvolk! - And you made up the rest!

All you care about is the front page in the paper!

At least someone will read it, unlike your books.

You fucked a girl, an hour later she got killed,

and the next morning you write an article about it?!

I found the killer, what else should I've done? Go on, tell me!

Did you think about my family here? That they would read it?

I'm sorry I didn't indulge the collective highlander ego, and your own!

- Chocolates. Shove them up your ass! - Thanks!

Screw you!

Kaśka!

I did not authorize this article!

And even if I had, so what?

What exactly hurt you so much?

There's nothing there everybody wouldn't know.

Both you and him know shit.

What are you really on about?

So everything is OK?

Yes.

And… the prints on the bottle?

No…

Too bad.

Thank you.

Boss!

That's all I have on Groń.

CCTV footage?

Not from Hyrny yet, the city cams don't cover the club.

Stop fucking about and get it done!

- I thought that… - Don't think! Do!

My father had to flee because of him,

he never forgave him, never came to terms with it.

I regret one thing - that my father did not live

to feel the taste of revenge.

You wanted to take revenge on Śleboda

for turning your father in to the communist regime in '45, right?

You came to Podhale on the 12th of June,

you rented a house…

I came with my family.

Children need to know where they come from.

On the 17th of June, five days later, Jan Śleboda was murdered…

On the 17th we were…

in the Tatra Mountains in Slovakia.

Am I suspected of something?

Please write here the places you visited and when you visited them.

We'll check it all out.

The journos are all here.

Think about what to tell them.

- Me? - Is this my investigation?

I have Kraków on my hands.

So it wasn't a bear after all?

How long might it take?

And this mentally disabled suspect? Will he be released?

- He is under observation. - Which one?

Your baseless accusations put him there!

- We're investigating. - Do you choose suspects at random?

Thank you!

Has Wojciech G. been charged by the prosecutor?

Do you confirm that the police base their findings on my article?

Do you confirm that the DNA we found in Maja Śleboda is yours?

- I did all the work for you. - You did?

You called her the night she was killed. Why?

I didn't know that sleeping with someone was a crime.

Why did you write such lies about my husband?

- Where did I lie? - You talked the night of the murder.

He was with you all night!

That's what he told you…?

Everything indicates that that the murder

of the Śleboda family is closely related to Goralenvolk.

Perhaps if the highlanders had come to terms with their past

this tragedy would not have happened.

Dad!

When they were murdered, you weren't at home.

I also know that you didn't spend the whole night

- talking to Bastian Strzygoń. - I didn't kill anyone…

Why are you sucking up to them, Dad?

Stop this fucking bullshit.

Let's get it over with.

You were at Jan Śleboda's house.

We have your fingerprints.

I was there.

Why were you there?

Eh?

To spit in his face.

I owed it to my father.

A treat for us…?

We don't want you to die of hunger.

Thanks!

Good morning! Have a taste!

- Genuine oscypek cheese! - I don't doubt it!

Only sheep's milk, not a drop of cow's milk

- Thank you. - You're welcome!

No, thanks!

Where were you on the night of Maciej and Maja Ślebodas' murder?

I don't remember.

You don't…?

No.

You have no alibi, you don't want to cooperate, you have a motive…

- I should place you under arrest. - But I haven't killed anyone.

And I have a lot of time.

We are not afraid of the truth about our history.

We just want a fair assessment.

Because, the people here…

…are very decent people.

Highlanders who work hard to earn their living.

Well, that's that.

It's like talking to a brick wall.

Well, what can you do?

- Nothing. - There's nothing one can do, right?

Daria!

What do you want?

Why do you think I want anything?

Learn to lie.

I need the CCTV footage.

From the night Majka was here.

Hyrny told me it wasn't working then.

But if I it was somehow possible

to get hold of this footage…

I would score some points with the boss.

You would soon be an officer's girlfriend.

Haven't you had enough yet?

Daria…

I'll never have enough of you.

But you know there's no free lunch?

Wow!

On the heart side.

Hello?

Which road?

He didn't do it.

What are you talking about?

That night…

I was with Groń.

I was having sex with him.

At two o'clock we were already at the Łyse motel, near Nosal.

We have been going there since June.

They know us.

- I'll check it out. - You know what will happen…

- when everyone finds out? - I'll check it!

- How is he? - Unconscious.

Stable, but in a serious condition.

- Hi! What do you have for me? - Hi! You have to see this.

A random witness found him.

- That guy? - Yeah.

This I don't know…

Peace?

Fuck off.

Will you feel better if I apologize?

I'm sorry.

I came to Zakopane, because I figured that…

the murder of Śleboda would be a great subject.

Then I met Majka…

And since then, not a single day has passed without me thinking…

What if I had stayed with her that night.

She would probably be alive.

Oh god…

There is a heart in that chest after all.

You think…?

You're a shitbag.

I know.

Sheriff! I think the time is right to thank me, eh?

We're opening champagne.

Why did you kill Majka and Maciej Śleboda?

No comment.

- …going back to the US? - …Strzegoń's article…

- The fact is that I am a free man! - Who made this decision?

You will take it all back in court!

Oh, one more thing…

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Get out of here!

- He broke my nose, that fucker! - He didn't break anything, you're fine.

Hold on…

- Hello? - Bastian?

The lawyers of the guy you wrote about are already on our ass

- and making demands. Lenka, ASAP! - Boss, I really…

You fooled me! You said you were working with the police.

Well, it's over.

You're fucking fired.

Shame.

She will beg me to come back.

I'm sorry.

Fuck!

We will wake him up from the coma

once he's stable enough.

Then you can talk to him.

- Staszek… - What?

Would you go get me a kebab?

Move your ass yourself!

Come on, I have this craving…

In pita bread?

Here you go!

- Good morning! - Well, not too bad!

God bless!

Reserved!

- And these? - Yeah… all of them.

Oh, in that case…

Four pieces of oscypek cheese, please!

Are they reserved too…?

I will pay by card, please.

Our terminal is broken, cash only.

I'll have the cream puffs then.

- All three, right? - Yes, all three.

- Thank you then. - Twenty.

Excuse me!

- Here! - No… No need, thank you!

- It's for you! - No, no need…

I know why you've come here.

You do?

Single women like you are bored in the city

so they come here looking for adventures.

Like mother, like daughter!

What are you talking about?

Ask Kaśka Kalenica!

Are your eyes burning from the wind…?

Or from something else?

Do you have someone in your heart?

I'm afraid.

One can have money, honours in life…

But without love…

…all is worthless!

I loved Jasiek Śleboda.

He was too poor for my father…

So, together with Jędrek Groń's father

they decided, that Jędrek and I…

…should be together.

Because he had land and sheep.

And you agreed?

Those were different times… You won't understand it, child.

Then…

…Jędrek had to run away because of Jasiek.

I couldn't…

…fight for Jasiek.

- And I was left with nothing. - But…

…later you had a husband…?

But love…

…I had not.

Śleboda was…

…who he was.

But he was a highlander.

And the highlander is an unfathomable man.

I'm a highlander too.

I betrayed him once…

…and the second time…

…I betrayed…

…for him.

But why?

So that Jasiek would not be alone.

Tomorrow is Jasiek's funeral…

Few people will want to say goodbye to him.

Come, child.

The death of a person is always a tragedy…

Especially sudden, unexpected death.

Tragic.

So let this meeting over the coffin be…

…an opportunity for reflection for all of us.

A reflection…

…on how to be better people.

Let us bow over this coffin

and forget about everything that was.

Fuck off!

Holy highlanders!

Hush, son!

I'll walk you home.

Go, child.

I'll stay here for a while.

Fuckers!

Fuck!

The accident victim's name is Tomasz Dydo.

Still unconscious. No criminal record.

He runs a driving school in the capital. Married.

- Have we told his wife yet? - She took it badly.

She got hysterical.

Are his bloody clothes in the laboratory?

Yes. They are checking his phones.

Junior!

- CCTV. - Boss, we'll have it soon.

And one more thing.

Józek Kalenica got a ticket on the Zakopane road.

- He was driving towards Zakopane. - And…?

The report states he was transporting a horse.

And we have the testimony of a neighbour

who saw him bring a horse to Śleboda. On the same day.

You said you hadn't brought a horse for Śleboda!

- Because I didn't. - A neighbour saw otherwise, Józek.

You have three dead bodies…

And you're picking on a poor horse.

Tell me, Jędruś…

What are you really looking for here?

You tell me!

It seems to me that you come to my house to meet Anka.

You think one can't see you drooling over her?

Eh…?

Go!

Anka!

What about Romuś?

Do you really want to talk about Romuś now?

I'm going back to Kraków.

When?

Tomorrow.

Shall we take a walk?

Go back home.

I know you're mad at me.

And… rightly so.

But come on, talk to me.

It's all because of your Bastian.

He destroyed something that was important to me.

Which made me feel happy.

What are you talking about?

Hasn't your friend Chowaniec told you all about me?

I'm talking about Groń.

On the night of Majka and Maciej's murder…

…I was with him.

And many nights before…

…as well.

It so happens that I am his alibi.

Aren't you drawn to Jędrek Chowaniec?

He's a good guy.

Just kind of soft.

And so…

You will mess with his head…

You will leave…

And he'll start drinking again.

That's what it is…

At work.

Don't wait for me…

Eat and go to sleep.

OK. Bye, bye!

Seventeen minutes.

- How did you find the footage? - I put my back into it.

Thirty seconds.

This is him!

The guy from the accident!

Are you happy?

Are you?

I have a son, it's not that simple.

Don't worry about me, OK?

Fuck it, I'm not coming back here again!

- Me neither. - You neither?
