[STRETCHER WHEELING]

[NATALIA WHISPERING] Paweł.

I have to leave for a while.

[YOUNG PAWEŁ] Where are you going?

[NATALIA] I can't tell you right now.
You need to stay strong.

[WHISPERING] Wait!

I love you!

[DOOR CLOSES]

[YOUNG PAWEŁ] I love you, too, Mom.

[KAMILA LAUGHING]

Daniel!

Wow.

How is it?

It's warmer now.

- Is it?
- Yes.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Way to go.

[KAMILA CHUCKLES]

[SONG PLAYING INDISTINCTLY]

[WOJTEK] Monika!

Hi!

- [GIRL 1] Hello!
- [GIRL 2] Hi.

[WOJTEK] Hi.

Hello, beautiful.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY] What's up?

I need to talk to you.

[BOYS LAUGHING]

[LAUGHING]

[LAURA LAUGHING]

- [ARTUR] Take the picture, now!
- [LAUGHS]

[LAURA] Hey, boys.

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]

[PAWEŁ] Boys, let's go.
We have the gathering soon.

What did the doctors say?

You won't like this, but

they say I'll make it.

It's not like that.

In this line of work,
everyone's a suspect.

But some more than others.

[SIGHS]

I admit that bloody graffiti by Goldsztajn
at Kowalski's place

threw me off the right track at first.

I'm not a suspect anymore?

No.

Ballistics confirmed what we suspected.

Goldsztajn m*rder*d Kowalski,

or Perkowski, as you'd have it.

The fibers on Marek Kowalski's body
were from Goldsztajn's car.

The blood type matches, too.

Did you question Laura Goldsztajn?

No.

She was in shock.

She said that

her father probably imagined
some kind of thr*at.

Frankly, I don't give a sh*t.

He blew his brains out, case closed.

I've got other stuff to do.

[SIGHS]

No hard feelings.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[AUTOMATED VOICE, INDISTINCTLY]
You've reached the voicemail.

Please leave a message after the tone.

PICK ME UP FROM THE HOSPITAL. IMMEDIATELY.

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

Come in.

[DOOR OPENS]

I told you not to walk!

I want to sign a release form.

Are you crazy?

You have to stay here
at least for a few days.

The wound could open!

If you don't let me out,
I'll run away through the window at night.

I really need to get out.

Wait for me.

I'll be right back.

[GRUNTS]

[DOORBELL RINGING]

[DOORBELL RINGING]

[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]

[LEON] I'm sorry about your father.

Do you love him?

I don't know.

Are you mad at me?

No. I think I'm too old for that.

I'm afraid that

this will sound pathetic.

What?

Don't leave me.

I've got good news.

Go ahead.

The pubic bone.

In my state, riddles are not welcome.

Cartilage connects the bones, right?

Look.

The bones used to connect

then they moved away from each other.

The woman found in the woods
has given birth.

Don't you see?
She couldn't have been your sister.

Which doesn't mean
she wasn't related to me.

What do you mean?

Do you have a DNA test kit?

Of course.

Then give it to me.

Give it.

Compare it with the victim's DNA.

I need confirmation. It's important.

[MIMICS GROWLING]

[KAJA CHUCKLES]

Daddy

are you really sick?

Are you the police or a storybook writer?

I told you

it's just a small cold.

And when are we going back to our place?

After you get some sleep.

Give me the second whisky bottle,
the one that belongs to your wife.

Without your help, Gosia will be sentenced
and sent to prison.

I can't make it without her.

I can't lose her.

Do you want to talk about losing a wife,

or drink?

If you can help us, please do it.

Please.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Where were you
when she got herself into this sh*t?

Kuba.

Are you sure it's here?

Pick me up in half an hour.

And what else? Shall I fetch you a coffee?

And a cookie, please.

[ENGINE REVS]

My regards.

[WOMAN] Where the hell are we?
Did you divorce your brain?

Should I have come to your office?

I shouldn't be talking to you at all.
You know my rules.

[CHUCKLES]

Do you really have any?

People change.

I know your sister-in-law was accused.

I just want to see the case file.

No way.

One question.

When it comes to rules

how is your husband doing
in a legal business?

You've got two minutes.

So you've considered it.

That's nice.

I'll do everything I can
to put her in jail.

I know.

[ENGINE REVS]

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

[BOŻENA] My husband's out,
and I've got nothing to talk to you about.

[GASPS]

Yes, you do.

[BOŻENA] What do you think you're doing?

DNA test results, yours and the deceased.

Leaving no doubt that it was your son.

You have lied to me.

Who k*lled him?

The same person who sh*t me.

Dawid Goldsztajn.

Did my sister survive?

[INHALES DEEPLY AND EXHALES]

She did back then.

I haven't seen her for 25 years.

I don't know if she's still alive.

I have no idea where she is.

What happened back then?

[BOŻENA SIGHS]

[INDISTINCT LAUGHING AND TALKING]

[ARTUR GIGGLES]

[ARTUR AND KAMILA LAUGHING]

[KAMILA] What's going on?

Where exactly are we going?

[WHISPERS] It's a surprise.

[KAMILA] "A surprise"?

[IN NORMAL VOICE]
Believe me, it's for your own good.

[CHUCKLES] Somehow, I don't believe you.

But you will. Come on.

All right, Kamila, come on.
Let him show us and we'll go.

What do we care?

Wait.

You assh*le! Why did you show me that?

Me?

So it's all right that Daniel and Monika
are toying with you guys?

You should thank me.
At least you know who you're dealing with.

I know how we could teach them a lesson.

- How?
- [SNIFFLES]

We'll have a bonfire.

- A bonfire?
- [WOJTEK] Yes.

Where?

[WOJTEK] By the lake.

We're not allowed to leave the camp.

Easy. I'm your chaperone.

We'll go after the dance.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING IN DISTANCE]

[WOJTEK] As promised,
here are the beers just for us.

[WOJTEK] Thank you.

Thanks.

[WOJTEK SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Hey, what's wrong?

Nothing.

Why are you so weird?

- Let's get some food.
- [MONIKA] Mmm-hmm.

Kamila...

[WOJTEK] Want a sausage?

It's better here than at some dance, huh?

Yes, it is.

Is it better or not?

Better!

- [MONIKA GIGGLES]
- [WOJTEK LAUGHS]

I'm telling you.

[ALL LAUGHING]

- It fell...
- Oh, no.

Listen, how about we go for a swim?

Forget it, no one's got swimsuits.

Who needs a swimsuit?

[EXCLAIMS] What? No...

[ALL LAUGHING]

[MONIKA] All right!

[WOJTEK] Whoo!

- [MONIKA GIGGLING] Whoo-hoo!
- [DANIEL LAUGHING]

[WOJTEK] Come on!

[ALL GIGGLING]

[SHRIEKING]

Perkowski, come on!

Hey! What are you doing?

Good luck returning to camp naked!

[DANIEL] Kamila, come on.

Kamila, are you nuts?

Daniel!

[DANIEL] Perkowski!

You can stay here
and screw your little Monika!

I saw it all!

What?

You saw it?

There. Look at it. See?

That's why he prefers me over you!

[DANIEL] Perkowski!

You will always be

nothing but a munter.

- You bitch!
- [MONIKA SCREAMING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[MONIKA] Get off me!

It's not so funny now, huh?

[ARTUR] Hey! Hey!

Let go! Kama! That's enough!

- What are you doing?
- Wojtek.

Come on, it's not funny!

[SCREAMING]

[WOJTEK] Enough.

We're in this together.

Isn't that great?

f*ck!

Run!

Leave us alone, you m*therf*cker!

A hero. Oh, dear.

How sweet, isn't it?

[PANTING]

[BREATHING SHAKILY]

[CRYING]

[TWIGS BREAKING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[DANIEL SPUTTERING]

[BREATHING SHAKILY]

[BOŻENA CRYING]
My dear son... what happened?

Doctor, look at them!
Our children! Such a misery!

Kamila, my baby... what happened?

What happened? Tell us! Please!

Tell us what happened. Please, tell us!

Artur, what happened?

[ARTUR] I didn't mean to.

I didn't mean to...

[NATALIA] You have to
tell us what happened.

Artur, please, tell us.

I didn't...

[BOŻENA] What? Artur?

They're dead.

Dead!

Jesus Christ.

[KAMILA] Oh, God...

They're dead!

[BOŻENA] Your mother and I
were worried sick.

Who would have believed Artur
that it all happened by accident?

And your sister? She was the one b*ating
and strangling Monika.

Police would think she cut her throat.

We believed that Malczak
would make a nice story

and everybody would believe
he was innocent.

At first, we hid them for 24 hours

until we came up with a plan.

But soon we realized

that the only solution

was to hide them

forever.

She didn't tell my father, did she?

Because she hated him.

And how about me?
She didn't take me with her, why?

Why did she leave?

Why didn't she fight for me?

Why?

[IZA] How are you feeling today?

Like sh*t.

Perkowska claims that my sister survived.

I've got something
that'll lighten your mood.

Mr. Janek Falkowski
wants to share some details

concerning Klaudia Broniarek's case.

Do you want me to stay?

It was me who was filming

when they were doing it to her.

And I didn't do anything.

Nothing.

I acted like a wimp

like a coward.

They made me do it.

If you testify
about what happened there

she will be thankful for sure.

[DOOR OPENS]

Did he sign it?

[IZA] He did.

- [PAWEŁ] The video?
- [IZA] He deleted it on his phone,

but not before he copied it
onto his computer.

Marancz and Dunaj-Szafrański won't
get off scot-free now.

[PAWEŁ] Game over.

What about Laura? Did you call her?

Her phone is off.

But... the pathologist called.

She left a message that

that...

The woman found in the woods
was my mother.

I'm taking you to the hospital.

- [PAWEŁ] Ready?
- Yes.

Isn't this when you say.

"I told you so"?

Forget it.

I won't kick you when you're down.

How did you get in here?

Money opens a lot of doors.

Even someone as thick as you
should know that.

I know you're behind the blackmail
about my wife's death.

True.

You haven't got sh*t on me.

The recorded conversation
doesn't prove anything.

There is not a shred of evidence
that I helped her.

How did you get that video?

The private eyes searched the cloud.
Your whole electronic archives.

Yours, your wife's, your daughter's.

You haven't got a thing on me,
m*therf*cker.

Maybe, maybe not.

I heard that your sister-in-law
hasn't been doing so great lately.

I got it covered.

I doubt it.

I have a pack of journalists on a leash.
They're just waiting to connect the dots.

My son and his friend's case
is to be discontinued tomorrow.

Or headlines about a prosecutor
obstructing justice will appear.

Have a nice evening.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

It's open.

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Where were you?

Where were you hiding?

I messaged you, I called you.

You don't answer. What's going on?

I lose everybody I love.

My sister, my mother

my wife

I'll lose you, too, I guess.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

What is it?

The indictment
in Klaudia Broniarek's case.

Always reliable.

Not really.

- Letter of resignation? Are you...
- Yes.

This is how it will go down.
First, you sign my resignation,

then I move out,
and then you file the indictment in court.

[SIGHS]

I think I deserve an explanation
after all these years.

Dunaj-Szafrański Senior
won't let me off the hook.

I don't want the sh*t

to hit your office's fan.

Let's say I sign your resignation.
What next?

I'll help my sister-in-law
with the foundation.

I'll finish what my wife started.
I should have done it a long time ago.

- Are you crazy?
- No, why?

I'll take a loan. Give the money back.

And then I'll see.

I'll straighten things out.

I owe it to Joanna and Kaja.

[PHONE RINGING]

Excuse me.

Hello?

Yes.

- The press downstairs, it's your call?
- [PAWEŁ] Yes.

I underestimated the Dunaj-Szafrańskis.

People are willing to go to great lengths
to protect their children.

I understand him very well.

[IMPERCEPTIBLE]

[PAWEŁ] Ladies and gentlemen

the law should be equal for all,
no matter what someone's position is.

This is what I've been taught,
and this is what I believe.

I would like to inform you
that as of today,

I will no longer serve
as a regional prosecutor.

Does this have anything to do with

the scandal of
your late wife's foundation?

Yes.

It was me who stole the money.

As you may already know, my late wife,
Joanna Kopińska, was terminally ill.

I used the money to pay
for my wife's treatment.

Surely, I am not looking
for a sympathetic way out.

I will give it all back.

I'll continue working for her foundation.

It was my late wife's... last wish.

After I have served my sentence.

My sister-in-law Malgorzata Tatarczuk
is innocent of the charges against her.

Mr. Krzysztof

my regards.

Thank you.

[REPORTER] Prosecutor, when will the money
be returned to the foundation?

[IZA] Paweł?

Paweł? Someone's here to see you.

Hello, Paweł.

Can we talk?

Sit down, please.

What is it?

The letter came about two months
after the kids went missing.

I received it after

your mother went missing.

No addressee.

It's from Kamila.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

[PAWEŁ] It's to you.

Please, read it.

[BOŻENA] "Dear Mrs. Bożena".

I know we were not to keep in touch,

but the situation is exceptional.

Another day without any message
from my mom has passed.

I'm alone here among strangers.

"Was this your plan?"

Artur stayed in touch with her for years.

They had a secret.
They supported each other.

They were hiding,
but they spoke once a month.

Don't blame me or Natalia.

Parents are willing to go to great lengths
to protect their children.

It's a shame they don't care
about all of their kids.

It's not like that.

I talked to Natalia.
She really wanted to come back for you.

[PAWEŁ] Who wanted to k*ll her?

[BOŻENA] I can only guess what happened...

Are you crazy?

Malczak is in prison. They're charging him
for everything, they'll put him away.

I don't want Artur to be hiding
all his life. He's innocent.

I think it's a bad idea.

Why?

We'll calmly explain what happened.

Do you hear what you're saying?
They assisted him.

That's how the police are going to see it.

Are you willing to risk your child's life?

And what if I'm right, Bożena?

And we'll go and explain,

and then we'll never see them again.

[INHALES]

I'll take you home.
You can do as you please.

But don't drag my Kamila into it.
Do you understand?

[INHALES]

I'm doing it for her sake,
and I suggest you do the same.

Don't forget you have a second child.

I'll come back for him.

- I'd rather die than split my kids apart.
- [ENGINE REVS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Where is Paweł?

He's at Karol's.

He'll be back tomorrow.

I'm leaving you.

Did you hear what I said?

I heard you.

I won't give you my son.

I'm not going without him.

I think I know where Kamila is.

Where?

That's enough.

She's not here.

- Do you hear me?
- [PANTING]

Let's go.

[WŁADYSŁAW] Natalia.

You won't take my second kid away from me.

[NATALIA CHOKING]

Where is my sister? Will you tell me?

[BOŻENA] I will.

[IMPERCEPTIBLE]

[PAWEŁ] All those years there was
not a single day I didn't think about you.

Maybe we've got a second chance?

Kamila?
