03x02 - Episode 2

[bunniefuu]

- [birds squawking]
- [uneasy music playing]

[train brakes squeal]

[announcement] ...now boarding
at track two on platform one.

- [man] Wait for me, okay?
- [driver] Of course.

[uneasy music continues]

[music fades]

[classical music playing in headphones]

- [music stops]
- What can I do for you?

I've got a friend here, I think.

And what's the name, please?

Kociołek.

Ah, the manager.
Yes, he's right over there.

In the freezer over there.
Over there. That way.

He's a little wet.

I'm sorry. You are?

No one.

THE MIRE

[music intensifies]

- [moans]

[Mika sniffles]

You had all the hos... p... pitals
in the voivodeship,

and you chose to vi... visit us here.

Call it karma.

[Mika] Pretty f... f... f*cking terrible.

[Mika groans]

Krysia told m... me you were here.

[Mika sniffles]

It's good to see you, Mika.
Can't believe it, but it is.

Well, I fe... feel the same way.

[chuckles] But apparently,
you're pretty lucky, huh?

The magic b*llet that got Ke... Kennedy
is nothing compared to this,

which apparently, a... avoids organs.

Tell me wh... what happened there.

A spirit smuggling operation we were
supposed to catch. Only someone squealed.

Mmm.

[Mika sighs]

Uh, should I notify anyone?

- About?
- About you. Th... th... that you're in here.

There's nobody to tell.

No, there isn't, is there?

Sorry about that.

[sniffles]

And s... since you're already here,

m... maybe when
you feel a little bit better,

you might be able
to talk to a certain Gy...

Ro... Romani girl who's been admitted
here on the ground floor.

Uh, here we go.

You came on business. I knew it.

[sniffles]

So that you d... don't get bored.

[Leśniak] Enough slander
of the Polish people.

The new millennium
will only be white and red.

[radio host] Those were the words
of prosecutor Zbigniew Leśniak

at the end of his recent press conference,
during which he announced the s...

[footsteps approaching]

[woman] You're up.

Yeah. [clears throat]

Where were you last night?
I spent half the night waiting for you.

I went back to my old digs.

- At the hotel?
- Mm-hmm.

[woman] Why?

- The manager had a gift for me, he said.
- What?

- [Wanycz] Some letter.
- And?

Was boiled.

What? The letter?

No, the manager.

Someone boiled the manager.

In a big soup pot.

Did he make it?

What goes around, comes around.

- You know, I saw Piotr last night.
- Uh-huh.

And I think it's time
for him to know the truth.

The truth about what?

The boy.

[sighs]

What's the point of him knowing now?

Would you wanna know
you had a child, but he's dead now?

Or maybe you're looking
for absolution yourself.

I would prefer to know.

Do what you think is best.

Bye.

[Wanycz] See ya.

[distant siren wailing]

[door opens]

Jesus.

[Rollo] Given any thought to our offer?

I'm still thinking it over.

What's there to think over, huh?

- God only helps those who help themselves.
- [woman] Mmm.

And these times are dangerous.

Yeah? For hairdressers too?

For every single f*ckin' person.

You got till tomorrow, you hear?

- [uneasy music playing]
- [Rollo chuckles]

Oh, hi. Good morning. Come on in. Welcome.

[woman] Good morning.
I'll be right with you, ma'am.

NICOLE BEAUTY SALON

[dog barking in distance]

[Piotr] Now she's packing.

You should've been packed yesterday,
like I said.

You should be grounded
for coming home late yesterday.

I wasn't able to find a taxi.

Mmm. For two hours?

Yeah. That's right.

And so, what? You couldn't have called?

You couldn't have texted or called?

My phone d*ed on me. I told you.

Yeah, be... because, uh, nobody you know
has a phone of their own, do they?

[sighs] Okay, let me help you.

I'll... I'll close it for you.

- What've you got there?
- What? Where?

- Is that a hickey?
- No.

- She was making out.
- [Joanna] Oh, hey. All right. Um, Piotrek.

What "Piotrek"?

She comes home at four in the morning,

and then, turns out
she's making out with some punk?

[Wanda] You are so f*cked up.

What the hell did you say to me?

Listen, you come back right here,
right now, this minute! You hear me?

- Right now!
- Calm down. Look at me!

Calm down. Please just relax.

I need you to calm down.
I'm gonna speak with her, okay?

It's okay.

[skis clatter]

[Piotr] Goddammit.

[Joanna sighs]

It must be hard to believe. I know.

But I really know how you feel.

I was 15 too, once.

Seems like not that long ago.

[Joanna chuckles]

Got me.

[chuckles]

Is that from your mom?

[chair rattles]

I lost someone important to me.

My older sister.

I know I can never replace your mom,
and I wouldn't even think about trying.

But I want you to know
that you really can count on me.

[emotional music playing]

[radio host] Tomorrow, as part of
the emergency plan for Y2K,

all machines across the country
will be turned off for 30 full minutes.

Similar trials have already been run
in most Polish hospitals.

Tests have been run on hospital equipment,
respirators, dialysis machines,

everything that is commonly used
to save lives.

These tests are part of a larger...

[Mika sighs] It's okay.
We're going to your momma soon.

- C... come here. Come here. [groans]
- [Limahl whimpers]

[Mika sneezes, sniffles]

[moans]

D... down, boy.

What are you t... trying
to figure out, Babe?

I thought we discussed that.

Whatever. Fi... fine. Chill, Se... Sergeant.

Look h... how matted you are, boy.

[sighs] Well, how many people does it take
to get a 70-kilogram man into a pot?

Seems th... that's a basic
school m... math question.

Two would suffice, I think.

Maybe even... one.

D... do you have the security footage?

Yeah, they gave me a copy.

There were 300 people there though.

A bunch of work.

[Babe] Hmm.

Yeah, it is.

Going down. You want anything?

Nah.

Hey, Limahl, you want anything?

- No. Th... thank you though.
- [chuckles]

- [man] And the date.
- [gate lock buzzing]

So you'll take these stairs here
all the way up.

And then turn left after a large pillar.

And then down to the end of the corridor.
Last door on the right.

[Babe] Who are you looking for?

The ballistics guy.

I'd be happy to show you.

[Kinga] Thank you.

[gate lock buzzing]

[kissing]

[Babe] So are you new in town?

[Kinga] Yeah.

I mean, I was born here,
but then I moved away for college.

[Babe] Ah. I had a feeling
I knew you from somewhere.

Elementary school 57?

The Heroes of Lenino.

Exactly.

The sports section.

- That's right.
- Mm-hmm.

Which one?

- Mmm, it was swimming.
- [chuckles]

Yeah, I was doin' Ping-Pong.

[laughs] I believe that, yeah.

[both laugh]

I'd bounce the ball back, but

we are here.

Thanks so much.

My pleasure.

- [man] Was this one found at Gronty?
- [Kinga] Mm-hmm.

The steel. Yeah, it does look German,

though the caliber makes it appear
it was manufactured in, uh, West Germany,

after the w*r, about a decade.

- You're sure about that?
- [man] Pretty sure.

But if you want 100% certainty,
go to the capital.

They can do a chemical analysis there.

No, thank you.
Your opinion is plenty for now.

Is that the one Leśniak
put on display yesterday?

No.

[mysterious music playing]

[melodious doorbell ringing]

Can I help you?

[in Romani] Tell the mayor
that Jassijej has come.

I apologize, sir. I'll tell Uncle.

[clock chiming]

[mayor] Damn you!

Heel, Bohun!

[groans]

[in English] Well, you're set up here
rather nicely, friend.

Capitalism works, I guess.

[laughs] It's all right.

The villa was bought
for quite the pretty penny,

along with the mutt there,

from the daughter
of the guy who ran the neighborhood.

Until he got cut up.

Did you say cut up?

m*therf*ckers.

Yeah, with a chainsaw.

[Jassijej chuckles]

And his son, he got drowned in cement
nearby at a construction site.

[Jassijej groans]

[mayor] That's the kind of family
they were.

Okay, so what are you doing here, man?

After all, I don't suppose
you're getting sentimental.

You know the manager.
I'm looking for his son.

[mayor] What was his name again?

- [Jassijej] Filip.
- Ah, Filip.

Hmm, haven't the faintest idea
what's up with him.

I lost contact with the manager
a long time ago as well.

I'm sorry, my friend. I just...

I'm not able to help.

That's fine.

Either way,

thanks for your time and attention.

I appreciate it.

Hold on a minute.

What kind of degenerate
goes and boils a man

on his own birthday?

As a very important wise man said to me,

"Folks are pigs."

[in Romani] Well said,

my friend.

[uneasy music playing]

[music fades]

[sighs]

[in English] You wanna stop
and get something to eat?

Hey, are we friends again, Hickey?

[Piotr chuckles softly]

Been to that new Ozyrys place?

Well...

[engine starting]

...let's give it a try.

- [pop music playing]
- [indistinct chattering]

Pepsi for you, love.

[Pepsi pouring]

[Piotr coughs]

- Thank you.
- Did you enjoy it?

[Piotr] Mm-hmm.

[Piotr sighs]

Who are you texting with? Tell me.

No one.

So how is no one? Say hi for me.

- So you do have a boyfriend?
- No, Dad. No boyfriend.

Come on. Jeez, please.
Tell me his name, at least.

Piotr. He's got brown hair
and big glasses.

Ah! Very... [laughs]...funny.

If I'd ever have given your mom
something like you've got there,

Grandpa Waldek would've pulverized me.

No way.
Grandpa Waldek wouldn't hurt anyone.

Maybe not anyone.

He made damn sure
that I loved your mother for real

before he cut me any slack.

And do you still?

[man] Hello, Mr. Zarzycki.

Marian Hanys.

I'm delighted to see you've chosen to eat
with your beautiful daughter

at my restaurant.

I hope the little miss
enjoyed her pizza. [chuckles]

Uh, sorry. Um, have to use the restroom.

[Hanys] Today, you're eating on the house.

No, thank you.

Sir, please. I insist.

And I'd like to apologize
for the situation at the hotel.

It's not my fault certain kinds of people
can't conduct themselves.

I don't know
what you may have heard... about me.

I'm just a businessman.
And a reliable one at that.

If you ever need anything at all,
you can count on me.

I'd be glad to put out
an advert in the Courier.

Like for a good word.

- At the moment, I'm on leave, so...
- Pardon?

I'm on leave at the moment.

And I know that moment is going to pass.

[coughs]

[coughs]

[spits, coughs]

[flushing]

You each have your own compartment,
so go one by one.

Don't rush, boys. You have five minutes.

Do you all have your IDs?

Uh, you can go. It's okay.

[indistinct announcement playing]

[sighs] All right.
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon. [grunts]

[Wanda] Thanks.

All right. [kisses]

[Wanda] Bye.

I've got this. Don't worry.

- [woman] Hi, Wanda, how are you?
- Hey.

Good evening, sir.

[people laughing]

[woman] Two minutes to say goodbye,
and we'll, uh, have to get in.

[phone clatters]

[monitor beeping]

[emotional music playing]

[music fades]

[panting]

Asleep at the wheel, are we?

[moans]

Is this where that Romani girl is
that nobody can talk to?

Why do you ask?

I know Romani. Maybe she'll speak to me.

Uh, it's just
I'm not allowed to let anyone in.

Sergeant Anna Jass.

Uh-huh. Uh, it's you, ma'am. [chuckles]

Uh, Jędrula.

And I've got orders.

So phone your boss.

Right now?

Yes, now.

We can't waste a single moment here.

Maybe he'll get mad
that you wasted an opportunity.

He'll make you write a report on it.

[door hinge creaking]

- [gasps]
- Sh.

[in Romani] Relax.

My name is Anna Jass.

I want to help you.

[breathing heavily]

Relax.

[emotional music playing]

What do they call you?

Chickie.

Lovely name.

[romantic music playing]

[in English] Boy, criminals do return
to the scene of the crime.

[chuckles]

This whole thing was built
around one man, it seems.

What'll happen with the manager buried?

Rumor has it
Hanys bought the place already.

Hanys?

[bartender] The new guy from the city.

He was already poaching
a bunch of our girls for his brothel.

What do you mean?
There's a new brothel in town?

I just feel older all the time.

Time has already moved on.
You and I are out.

Excuse me, sir.

To the men that time has forgotten, huh?

Did the manager
leave you something to give me?

[bartender] Like what?

Like a letter.

No, I haven't seen anything.

I will say he seemed
a little nervous though.

Well, if you hear anything...

Okay. Sure thing, sir.

- Bye, Loreta.
- See ya.

[romantic music continues]

Who was that man?

[bartender] Who's asking?

A veteran.

I've just been looking
for an old friend, is all.

[upbeat jazz music playing]

Have a good one.

[music stops]

- [man in German] Who is it?
- Kociołek.

[door lock clicking]

The girl has got to get going.

What a shame. The fun is just beginning.

I'm sorry.

Wait.

Half an hour.

Okay.

- [in English] Where's Helenka, huh?
- Where do you think? Still up there.

Christ. Kocioł, man,
she's got championships coming up.

- She'll be destroyed if he keeps her long.
- Come on, buddy.

You'll fix it with the jurors.

f*ck, dude.
That won't work. It isn't football.

Grochu, sport is sport.

I gave him half an hour.

Hey!

- Has he got more?
- A lot. Take care, Grochu!

You too.

- [mysterious music playing]
- [dog barking in distance]

- [glasses clinking]
- [drunk man screams]

[child crying]

[couple moaning]

[woman 1]...hand in her panties!

[women laugh]

- Well, good evening!
- Good evening!

[women laugh]

[music playing softly]

[distant groaning, screaming]

[Kociołek] Hey.

Where's the boy?

I don't know. Outside.

Have you seen Filip?

The one with a face like a p*ssy lip?

[women laughing]

- Have you ever looked in a f*ckin' mirror?
- Oh!

[laughs]

[mysterious music playing]

[distant screaming]

[music fades]

King Filip, hey.

Is it possible Your Majesty

will allow his humble servant
to pick him up and carry him to bed?

You feed him as if he was yours.

Yeah. Well, maybe
he comes from mixed sperm?

[woman laughs, snorts]

Yeah, you could've maybe
fathered a little bit of him, you know?

[women laugh]

Shut your f*cking mouth! Capisci?

"Shut your mouth"? Why "shut your mouth"?

Dimwit can't even figure out
what we're talking about.

[women laugh]

You say anything like that ever again,
and I will gut you like a pig.

[tense music playing]

[woman grunts]

Hey.

[woman 2] Hey, I'll take him.

You wanna be useful now?

The kid's out, hungry,
in the middle of the night.

Even my mother was better than this.

[woman 2] Oh, f*ck off.

Shut the door.

Rest, my liege.

[woman 2] Mmm, stop pouting, will you?

What have you got there, you hothead?

[mysterious music playing]

[distant siren wailing]

[mysterious music continues]

[music fades]

PILGRIMAGES
SUMMER/FALL 1999

[keys jingle]

[sensual music playing]

[Joanna] I'll jump in the shower
real quick,

and maybe you can bring me
a little glass of wine.

- Mm-hmm.
- Get yourself a soda.

- [both laugh]
- [Joanna] Just kidding.

See you soon.

[Piotr clears throat]

[automated voice]
You have three unheard messages.

[beep]

Mr. Zarzycki, it's Elżbieta Kopeć here,
Wanda's teacher.

I've been trying to reach you.

I don't know how to tell you this,
but Wanda's disappeared.

I mean, I don't know what happened.
She wasn't...

[dialing]

[phone line rings]

Hi, Wanda here. Leave a message
if you can be bothered. Bye.

- f*ck!
- [clattering]

[Kopeć] Nobody reported Wanda missing.

All her stuff was up on the rack.

We all assumed she was just
off in some other compartment.

And I don't know how
she could've gotten off of the train.

Well, you... you'd better th... think
over the point man for this one.

B... because a... a... after all,
she's a journalist's daughter.

There might be a... a scandal.

Well, f*ck, Mika.

You're available, aren't you?

You can knock one out
before the end of the year.

[door opens, closes]

Oh f*cking hell.

I'm sorry. Do you have a better plan?
Okay, Tubs will do great.

Perhaps instead of, say,

futzing around the police station,
you could, uh, look for the perpetrators?

[Tubs] Your daughter has probably just
run away, sir. These things happen.

No, that's impossible. I know my daughter.

[sighs] I hear that
all the time, unfortunately.

[clears throat]

This is a CCTV recording
from the train station in Krajnica.

Uh, who is that?

I was hoping you can tell me.

I don't know. I have no idea.

[Tubs] Hmm. Mm-hmm.

And this was taken nearby the station.

[uneasy music playing]

[Piotr sighs]

[Tubs] Has your daughter
ever mentioned a boyfriend?

No, never.

- That's not her boyfriend!
- [Tubs] Then who?

I have no idea.

He must've forced her
into the front seat of that car though.

She doesn't look forced to me.

Since her mother passed away,
she won't sit in the front of a car.

Maybe she got over it.

[sighs] Uh, the plates.

Did you get... did you get those at all?

I'm sorry, illegible.

The photos you got, uh,
you send those to another police station?

Don't tell us
how to run our investigation!

Everything's being done
according to procedure.

Teenagers will sometimes rebel
and often run away with their sweethearts.

Christ, what sweetheart?
There's no boyfriend.

I'm telling you,
she wouldn't have sat in the front!

Fathers are always
the last to find out, sir.

Our very best man is looking out for you.

And you.
You should be ashamed of yourself.

You can lose a dog or a cat. Not a child.

[indistinct chattering]

[sniffles]

[sighs]

[uneasy music playing]

[sighs]

[sniffles]

[music fades]

[nose blows]

Oh! I'm glad to see
y... you're up and about.

[sniffles]

I spoke to that girl.

She's Romani out of Ukraine.

Fourteen years old.

And, officially,
her name is Maria Czerniawska.

Poor kid set out
to work in modeling and films

and made movies.

Yeah, just p*rn.

They kept her in a white room
with plenty of soundproofing.

Said the room had a slanting ceiling,
possibly something like a converted attic.

r*ped multiple times,
with the perpetrators always masked.

She believes it's by an airport
'cause she saw a plane.

Of course,

they kept her pretty well-doped,
so it's tough to be sure.

There were more girls.
Where did you find her?

In, uh, G... Gronty.

She ran outta the f... forest.
She was alone.

Ah, b... b... but did you ask her
how long she was running?

All night and all morning.

[Mika] She could've even walked
fr... from the border.

[Jass] She said
this was her pass to freedom.

Th... thanks, Jass.

[pen tapping]

What's wrong?

Come on, tell me.

[sighs]

Hi, Wanda here. Leave a message
if you can be bothered. Bye.

- [beep]
- [Piotr groans]

[Joanna clears throat]

Did you call Jass?

I think she needs to know.

Piotrek, it doesn't matter
what you think of her. Really.

Since she came into my life,
everything's been f*cking falling apart!

I understand, but she's police.
Maybe she can help, or...

[doorbell rings]

Hi.

USERNAME: WANDA
PASSWORD:

WRONG LOGIN OR PASSWORD

[Jass] Do you know her password?

[Piotr] Uh, the password?

No, we don't know the password.

And was she being weird
or acting peculiar?

What do you think? [clears throat]

- [Jass] Was she on something?
- [Piotr] On something?

What could she be on?
I'm asking. What could she be on?

Amphetamine, ecstasy, anything.

Of course.

How would you know?

I'm taking the computer
to the police station, and... [grunts]

You okay?

I'll press them on it tomorrow.

Can you give me a ride to the hotel?

I know that you'll never forgive me
for that accident.

Neither will I.

I'll find her.

I think that Wanda will forgive you.

[pop music playing]

Whiskey, if I remember correctly?

A double.

[Mika] Can y... you mix that
with a... antibiotics?

Kr... Krysia told... told me
that you f*cked off from the hospital.

Anything for you?

Who's on Wanda's case?

[Mika sighs]

Tubs.

How come?

Well, the... the chief assigned him.

What about you?

I... I'm retiring.

The Ro-Romani is my la... last case.

And you won't help me?

Jass, I don't have a choice in the matter.
Now it's Tubs's case.

And that's why you came here?
To tell me that?

f*ck you.

Change your mind?

Ah, go ahead.

[sniffles]

[electrical crackling]

[mysterious music playing]

Hey.

There she is, my Sleeping Beauty.

What?

[man chuckles]

Where am I?

[man] What?

Do you know where I am?

[man] Well...

[camera shutter clicks]

- What are you doing?
- [kisses]

- What are you doing?
- Sh.

This wasn't our deal. Wait.

This wasn't our deal!

Come... come back here!

[door opens]

[Wanda] You hear me? Come back!

- [door closes]
- [Wanda] Come back!

[door lock clicks]

[uneasy music playing]

[music fades]
