01x01 - Episode 1

[bunniefuu]

You'll see, it'll be great!

-We will see the entire zoo from above.
-Yay!

Can we do it? Shall we jump in?

Come on! Hop!

You're about to see wonders!

Going to the University of Edinburgh
is a kind of distinction.

Two other faculty members
have applied for this scholarship.

I know, dad, but…

It's me who got
a positive reply from Edinburgh.

Their dean asked me for recommendations.

Ania, it was
a really difficult decision for me.

But what are you talking about now?

Doctor Filarski has published
two papers this year.

Why are you doing this?

You haven't submitted
any projects for a long time.

You know I'm writing a book!

It's taking so long,
I thought you already quit.

You must understand…

I have to demand
twice as much from you as from others.

I can't allow any accusations of nepotism!

Your work has always been
more important than mine!

Maybe it's a mistake
that we work together?

-Then maybe I'll leave?
-Don't be silly.

I thought a change of scene
would be good for you.

That's why I wanted to go to Edinburgh!

I have an unexpected vacancy
at the Silesian University of Technology.

Ania, wait!

Let's talk!

Hey.

All this again? Doesn't your sick leave
start from tomorrow?

-Karol!
-What?

Kiss my arse!

The kid is listening!

-Our star already here?
-The prosecutor? She's here.

Heavy stuff!

What is it?

Again?

You need to pee?

Wait here for me.

The k*ller wanted to humiliate her.

-Are you done?
-No.

Get it out of her face!

What do we have?

Michalina Badura.

We have a bank card,
student ID, apartment keys…

Her mobile phone is missing.

She was in her fourth year
of architecture.

Kocur! Shouldn't you be planning
your baby shower now?

We're taking it to the lab.

Take this too!

Poor girl.

The f*ck stabbed her
more than a dozen times.

-Do we have the weapon?
-They're looking.

Why do you care so much
about running this case?

It reminds me of something.

Don't you think?

See you!

Was the turnout good?

My hand hurts from signing books.

Look what I've got.

Hard cover!

With a dedication
'To my mother-in-law's daughter'.

-I'll read it. I will!
-Yeah, mhm!

Daguś…

I don't like it
that you took this case.

Victim of similar age, stab wounds,
underwear on the face…

You are fishing for similarities!



Pionek is doing time.
Why dig in it?

What do you mean - fishing?
Everything is exactly the same!

What if there's an imitator?
You know him best! Help me out!

I can't, you know that!

A retired policeman…

I mustn't interfere
in ongoing cases, you know it!

I won't tell anyone!

This mustn't happen again. Help me!

No.

What are you afraid of, huh?

I'm worried about you.

I'm worried about us, about the kid.

No, Daguś!
I'm not a profiler any more.

It isn't something you forget.

Jesus…

You look so beautiful, mummy!

-Here for dinner?
-That too.

-Will you wash it?
-Have you found a job?

-I'll pay you back in grandchildren.
-Mind your threats!

I have a channel
on the internet now, mummy.

Do you watch it?

Are you still staying with strangers?

Maybe at least find ones
with a washing machine?

Anka is now going to Katowice
for a semester.

I'll be minding her flowers.
I'll use hers.

-And how is she doing after all that…?
-Great! I guess…

Why don't you invite her
to visit us sometime?

I'll tell her
what a cute baby you were…

Perhaps she'll believe
you're still a great guy?

No way. She knows me too well.

The body of a young woman,
a student of architecture.

Our reporter is at the scene...

We have unofficially
confirmed with our police sources

that the k*ller recreated very precisely…

You could use a little stability.

There's nothing more stable
than my feelings for you, mummy!

Little wonder all the girls
run away from you

if you tell them such nonsense!

…the imminent end
of Norman Pionek's sentence,

who will be released
from prison later this year.

I hope you know what you're doing, son.

…should the so-called 'Beast Act'
apply to him?

This question becomes grimly relevant.

Clean Silesia.

Photo exhibition.

Excuse me.

Do you like it?

Erm…

I don't know yet, I guess so.

-Sad.
-I don't know…

All in all, it's just an abstract form.

I find it beautiful. And sad.

Isn't it the case
that we see in pictures

the emotions we are
currently experiencing?

-Hi!
-Hello!

But you're right - they're sad places.

A disused mine…

Did you know
this is where Pionek was hiding?

After his last m*rder.

-And who is Pionek…?
-The Vampire of Szombierki.

You're not from round here, are you?

A dead mine is like…

A primeval chakra.

Vast, empty and dark…

Inside, each sound
is more intense and multiplied.

The deeper you go,
the faster your heart beats.

You feel some energy
flowing through your body.

Will you let it carry you?

And what will you do with it?
It's not just up to you.

Great exhibition!

Thank you! Thanks a lot.

I'll post the review
at the end of the week.

I won't bother you any more!

Phew!

Good thing I liked it.

But you nailed it.

I've had a terrible time recently.

That makes two of us.

Will you have some wine with me?

My name is Anna Serafin,
I work at the Jagiellonian University.

But now, as part
of an exchange programme,

I will be teaching you
sociology and anthropology.

Let's start at the end.
I would like your final assignments

to focus on a particular phenomenon
in the public sphere.

Something that fascinates you…

Sorry I'm late.

…fascinates you, or…

…that are you afraid of…

…that you know very well, and…

…and these projects may take the form of…

…a film … photos…

…any form.

Any questions?

-No?
-I have a question.

I wonder how this subject
will be useful to us at work?

And what work would that be?

Designing buildings.

And why would you design them?

To make money.

-A lot of money.
-Great, and…

Why should people
pay you a lot of money?

Because my projects will be better.

Better? What does that mean?

More creative, more functional…

-And beautiful.
-Hm!

And what does that mean - beautiful?

What makes buildings beautiful or not?

-Because that's what people think…?
-Great!

In other words -
it's a matter of social contract.

And what makes them
more functional,

-Mr…?
-Gerard. Keller.

People will find them better to live.

And so…

Mr. Keller…

You've answered your own question,
why you need these subjects.

I won't tell you how to design a building
that people will find beautiful.

But I can give you tools
to help you understand the people

who will have to live in this building.

I would like to talk to the students.

Okay, the class ends in one hour.

It's about a m*rder.

I'm investigating the death
of Michalina Badura.

She was their fellow student.

-It's my first class, I've only arrived…
-So, can I talk to them?

Everybody is shocked
by the brutal m*rder of a student,

which bears a striking resemblance
to a crime from years ago.

That's why your favourite journalist,
Bastian Strzygoń,

is on his way to meet Norman Pionek,
the infamous Vampire of Szombierki,

who's been serving 25 years
for the m*rder of four women.

He is about to be released.

Is it a coincidence that someone
is trying to imitate his crimes?

I will take you
into the heart of darkness.

The naked truth,
nothing but the truth.

Like and subscribe!
Bastian Strzygoń.

Thank you!

Gerard, what are you on about!

Say it again, I didn't hear you!
Leave me alone!

Leave me alone,
I'm getting my stuff!

I'm sorry.

I didn't know…

Clean Silesia.

No, Dorota, stop it! Come on!

Wait a minute, I have to go.

How can I help you?

Do you have a sister?

-Why do you care?
-It's my sister's birthday today.

I've come all the way from Szczecin
to give her a hug.

You've come such a long way
for your sister?

She loves surprises.
It's just that, gosh…

I don't know which room she is in.

-Best wishes!
-What's the occasion?

Your favourite friend is here!

Very cosy!

Almost like Edinburgh!

Very funny!

Well, I'm listening.

An architecture student
has been m*rder*d in Katowice.

Bastian, I beg you…
Tell me you're not writing about it.

Relax!
I have more important subjects.

I beg you,
let's order Chinese, shall we?

On me!

It's just…
Temporarily at your expense.

Okay, but get rid of the bush.

Norman Pionek was only 19
when they arrested him, you know?

-How many women did he m*rder?
-Four.

The first, Barbara Gawlik, 23,

k*lled in the same way as your student.

The second, Mirosława Engel,

had a 13-year-old daughter
when m*rder*d.

I intend to meet her
while I'm here.

The third, Sabina Szyndzielorz,
three months pregnant.

And his fourth victim was his mother.
That sick f*ck!

Are they really
going to let you meet him?

I've already arranged it!
Pionek's agreed,

I'm waiting for permission
from the prison, and that's it!

I'll hang about Silesia,
breathe in the smog…

It's gonna be awesome!

Wow!
But you can't afford a hotel…?

-What, kicking me out already?
-Bastian…

One night.

That's what they always say!

You sleep on the floor, no snoring,
the toilet seat stays down!

Love you too!

You sure you're in the right place?

I've come to have some tea,
because it's cold.

A girl went missing in the area.

Two days ago.

Were you at work then?

I'm always here.

Keeping an eye on everything.

Was she here then?

Pretty… But I don't recognize her.

Seen the crowd?
It's always like this.

Can I see the CCTV footage?

No. Got plenty to do here.

Draught beer.

Do you come here often?

From time to time.

Have you ever seen her?

No.

On the house.

I pay for my food and drink myself!

-Where's the loo?
-Straight ahead and to the left.

Unisex!

-Yeah?
-Guess who's just been here!

A pregnant policewoman.

-What do I care?
-She asked about Miśka.

-What did you tell her?
-f*ck all!

Gerard, you owe me!

Have you heard
about the student m*rder*d in the park?

Why…?

It's like the murders
of the Vampire of Szombierki.

-Do you remember that?
-How could one forget such a monster?

Do you know that Pionek
is about to be released?

No…

Hell, how is this country
supposed to function

if they let such murderers walk free?
Give me a break!

Thanks!

Have you heard that Pionek
is getting released?

-Who sent you?
-I'm an independent journalist.

They make up all sorts of lies
to scare people!

Because scared people
are easier to control.

-And that's that!
-Do you have children?

-I don't.
-Then you won't get it, lad.

We were afraid to leave home
when he went on the spree.

I have two daughters and a grandkid.
I want to sleep in peace!

I've finally found some nice meat.

I'll make noodles
and red cabbage for Sunday.

-Where did you get it?
-At that butchery there.

-What are you cooking for Sunday?
-We'll just have some frozen pizza.

Come on!
My old man wouldn't eat it!

Dear ladies, I hate to bother…

It's a delicate matter…
Reportedly, a victim of the Vampire,

that m*rder*r,
used to live around here somewhere…

-So what?
-Do you know where?

-Maybe…
-Maybe we do…

Sandra, help me!

Hello!

Damn it, I won't carry it alone!

And now what? I told you!

-Excuse me, maybe I can help?
-Do I know you?

No. I'm an independent journalist,
I'd like to talk about your mother.

Clean it up.

I have nothing to tell you.

Do you understand?

Let's go.

Let's go!

Who was that?

We've got the autopsy results.

Michalina Badura died at night,
between two and four o'clock.

Semen was recovered from her vag*na.
Abrasions indicate r*pe.

Blood analysis shows that she was high
at the time of death.

-The m*rder weapon?
-Looking for it.

Do we know
what she'd been doing before?

She'd been at a company party.
She left around 10 p.m.

She was an intern at Keller Vision,
this architect's office.

I talked to him yesterday,
to his son… Gustaw or…

Gerard Keller.
They studied together.

-And what?
-He didn't tell me anything,

except that Michalina was a nice girl.

We need to find out what she was doing

between leaving the party and the m*rder.

We have to go where the party was
and look for witnesses.

Ernest!

Do we have a list
of where her mobile logged in?

We are waiting.

Soboń…!

I'm bored!

I'm coming!

Remember me?

Yes. I'm sorry, I didn't hear…

Can we…?

Why didn't you tell us
that you lived together?

I don't know…
I didn't think it was important.

How long?

From the first year.
She didn't get along with her folks.

Is that why she was using?

Your friend had
the entire periodic table in her blood.

Did you party with her?

Not my cup of tea.

Sure thing.

-Who did she get drugs from?
-I don't know.

But she was your best friend…?

Don't you care about catching the k*ller?

I don't know where she got it.
She knew I'm against drugs.

-Her life, her business.
-Did she use a lot?

Did she have any specific reason?

She just liked
to cut herself off sometimes.

Where? And with whom?

She didn't confide in me.

Your friend was r*ped before she died.

Did she have a boyfriend, a fiancé…?

She walked her own paths.

She wasn't dating anyone permanently.

For a friend,
you know very little about her.

Is that Miśka's laptop or yours?

Hers.

And where did Miśka sleep?

We managed to fit in here somehow.

-Get out, I said!
-I wanted to see my granddaughter!

I asked you not to come here drunk!

-Don't forget this is my house?
-I've already paid you off!

-Good morning.
-Oh, here comes your new fancy man!

-f*ck…
-Grandpa!

-No!
-Stop it!

Grandpa!

Get the f*ck out!
Or I'll call the police on you!

Sandra! Help your grandpa!

-Free range?
-Mhm.

You must care a lot.

Why did you come here?

I can come another time if you want.

You just have to tell me where and when.

Broken anyway.

Which media outlet do you work for?

I have an online channel.

'The Naked Truth'.
Bastian Strzygoń.

And…?

I'm preparing…

For an interview with Pionek.

I thought maybe there was something…

…that you would like me
to ask him on your behalf?

Get the f*ck out of here.

And don't come back.

/practices English/
In a tent…

In a tent. It's raining…

And my leg is getting…

Getting wet…

Do you have anything to eat?

We have the locations
of Miśka's mobile from BTS towers.

She was in the centre around 11:30 p.m.,
near Ceglana Street…

Then her phone started moving quickly,
as if on a motorbike.

Around 11:50 p.m.
she was in the Silesian Park,

and then the signal cuts out.

-Guess who rides a motorcycle.
-Gerard Keller.

We need to check
if there are cameras along the way.

I've already done it.

Bloody hell!

He said he hadn't seen her
on the night of the m*rder.

-Well, he forgot!
-Stop it.

I don't look good in photos.

Where's the rest of the group?

No one's in the mood to study now.

That's why I thought
an outdoor class might be a good idea.

I think it's a very good idea.

We have some time now, maybe…

I could show you
the nicer side of Silesia.

Maybe someone else will come.

I am here.

Come on!

Come.

Come on!

Come.

Uważaj!

Voilà!

This is where I took the photo
you were looking at when we first met.

I already know who Pionek is.

We need to talk about…

-You know…
-No, we don't.

What…?

No…

No.

Your turn! Go on!

Majewski, corrections counsellor.

-Bastian Strzygoń.
-This way.

Is Pionek dangerous?

He will not attack you,
he won't have a hidden razor blade…

Sex offenders
have a very hard time in prison,

but he's managed to survive
for almost 25 years.

-He is very intelligent in his own way.
-Does he manipulate people?

Sometimes it seems to me
that he's learnt more about me

than I have about him
over all these years.

What'll happen to him now
when he's released?

-Will he even be released?
-Are you talking about the Beast Act?

I'd like to believe
serial K*llers can be rehabilitated,

but I have no idea
what he will do outside these walls.

Has anyone visited him
during these 25 years?

No. He only had his mother.

It's the first time
he's agreed to see a journalist.

I'm curious myself
about what he will tell you.
