[cheerful music playing]

[woman laughs]

[man] How about we get out of here?

[snoring]

- [bell dings]
- [gasps]

Key for room 730.

Have a good night.

[elevator bell chimes]

[door opening]

[sighs]

[knocking at door]

Oh.

Hello.

Any news of Wanda?

She wasn't there.

And how's your wound?

Teresa thought I had
a particular darkness in me.

[wistful music playing]

[sobs]

That... that maybe I believe the dead are
more important than the living.

I was just fuming. I screamed at her.

[sobs] And if I hadn't,
she still might be alive.

None of this would've happened, Dad.

I have to find Wanda.

Easy.

Everything'll be just fine.

Calm yourself.

What made you come to visit?

Babysitting me
can't be the reason. [sniffles]

I've got a very old debt
which I need to pay here.

And what's that?

A long time ago,
I mean, when you were pretty young,

we paid a visit here with your mom.

- Remember that?
- Bits and pieces, yeah.

[Jassijej] You stumbled into a tar pit,

and a guy came by and saved your life.

That's who you're looking for?

Actually, for his son.

He was called Filip.

Remember that kid?

He lived in a hovel
and kept frogs in mason jars.

He thought his name was stupid
and wanted to be called something else.

[chuckles] Alfred.

Alfred?

I really liked the name Filip.

[opening theme music playing]

THE MIRE

[music fades]

[distant siren wailing]

[knocking at door]

Hold your horses!

- [keys jingle]
- [lock clicks]

Good morning.

Good morning. How come you're
such an early bird today, huh?

I think I left my phone
in the prosecutor's office yesterday.

May I have the key?

[chuckles] Yeah, sure.

- [uneasy music playing]
- [door lock clicks]

[copier whirring]

[copier whirring]

Oh! Uh, thank you so much.
I'll give you the key.

Did you find your phone in there?

- Uh, no. It's somewhere else, I guess.
- Huh.

- Thank you very much.
- Yeah, of course.

[metallic clanking]

[keys jingle]

Good morning, sir.

Good morning.

Uh, I'm, uh, Kinga Matwiejska,

an assistant prosecutor
for the local district office here.

Uh, can I speak with you?

[door closes]

Please have a seat.

Thank you, no. I'm in a hurry.

Suppose you've gotta work for
that loser Leśniak? Must be interesting.

The woman, uh, whose skeleton
was uncovered at Gronty

didn't die during the w*r.

She was only a young child back then.

Why is this important for me to know?

Because I'm fed up with Leśniak's fiction.

That man thinks the truth is irrelevant.

He just... he wants to put the whole case
behind him and be done with it.

Even though there's evidence,
expert opinions,

details of the excavations.

And everything confirms
the woman really d*ed long after the w*r.

It's been a long time
since I worked for the Courier.

Why would you bring this to me,
of all people?

You probably don't remember me.

No.

And Justyna Drewicz?
I wonder if you remember her.

Yes, of course.

[mysterious music playing]

It was me who told you about
the swimming pool back then.

So obviously, you know what I was part of.

[mysterious music continues]

And so, because of that, I'm committed
to preserving and upholding truth.

I'm gonna help you.

Thank you.

I have just one favor to ask.

Could you maybe poke around
the registrar's office

and see whether
the hotel manager had a son?

Can't say no to an assistant prosecutor.

Sure.

[Wanycz] Thank you.

[indistinct chattering]

Doctor.

Oh. There's our escape artist.
Are you in much pain?

No, I'm here to speak to
the young girl who was brought in.

We just got through examining her.
It's best if she rests for now.

I can't wait.

We have other girls who are still missing.

Just a heads-up, she had to be sedated,
so she might be talking nonsense.

Basia.

Mm.

Do you remember who it was
who gave you the bracelet?

Of course. I remember everything.

When a thing is immersed in fluid,
the upward force, or buoyancy,

is equal to the weight
of the displaced fluid.

The Battle of Grunwald...

Basia...

- Fifteenth of July in 1410...
- Basia, look at me, please.

- Mama!
- Can you stay with me.

[Jass] Do you remember
who gave you this bracelet?

Do you know what happened to her?

She left to go see them all earlier.

- [Jass] Where did she go?
- [chuckles]

They took her off to Hollywood. [laughs]

It's where the mighty Czech King rules.
[laughs]

[mysterious music playing]

[music fades]

[groans]

[coughing]

[sniffles]

Ah, it's you. Holy f*ck.

[laughs]

You f*ck.

You have any idea
what I'm gonna do to you now?

Remember when you came to me and said
I could... come to you whenever I needed?

For help and such?

This is me coming to you...

[sighs]

...and calmly asking if you'll tell me
where my daughter is?

[laughs]

Please, I never kidnapped her.

You may have gone completely mental.

- Don't provoke me...
- [laughs]

...or you'll see how crazy I am, buddy.

[grunts] You piece of sh*t. Holy f*ck.

- I will f*ck you up.
- Wanda came to you for a job, right?

I know she did. I know you spoke.

Spoke yeah. [chuckles]

But only because she's friends with...
with my daughter, you hear me?

I didn't hire her
'cause she's a baby, damn it.

[grunts in pain]
I'll f*cking m*rder you, you f*ck!

What?

Be honest, fucker, or I'll hurt you!

Like I'd kidnap the f*cking
editor-in-chief's daughter?

I need that kinda publicity?

[grunts, groans]

- [Piotr] Then who?
- I don't have a f*cking clue.

[grunts in pain] Oh f*ck!

You... shithead.

f*ck. Some guys, some new guys,

just f*cking turned up in the area.

They're all bigger fish than me.
Like, a lot bigger.

Maybe it's those guys?

Who are they, then? Tell me who they are.

Set me f*cking free.
Set me free, and I'll f*cking help you.

Are you telling me the truth?
How am I supposed to believe you?

The f*ckers run transit. Border transit.

The booze, speed, girls.

They established a shipping company...

[coughs]...as a... as a cover.

Got their own trucks.

And one of my... one of my clowns
is working for them behind my back.

That's how I found out about it.

f*ck. Please let me go.

[Hanys groans]

[pants] Oh, f*cking...

Where are they?

Feliz.

Feliz is their brand.

They all stick

over by the warehouse at Ostre Łąki.

They load... [coughs]

That's where they load up.

I believe you.

I believe you, really.

Let me go, motherfu...

[muffled screaming]

[cheerful music playing in background]

[receptionist] How may I help you?

I'm looking for someone who could've
recently booked a room in this place.

Donata Muszyńska?

Of course, sir. How recently?

Mm, sometime over the past two weeks.

No one with that name has checked in.

Listen to me.
You're gonna get me a copy of that.

The names of everyone
who was booked here during that time

and the tapes from the CCTV too.

You have them already.

From the entire day
of the manager's party.

The whole floor and the driveway,
if you don't mind.

I'm gonna have to
ask my manager about that.

Hop along now.

- Double time if you would.
- I certainly will.

- [phone rings]
- [sighs]

Yeah?

Just give him what he wants, all right?

[knocking at door]

[sighs]

MANAGER

Ah.

Welcome.

And what might this be about?

Common interest.

What were you doing at Club M17, huh?

I plead the Fifth.

[scoffs]

You're gonna wanna speak to me, dude.

What do you know about
the girl in the attic?

I plead the Fifth.

You recognize this one?

[Mika sniffles]

How many Fifths do you want?

[Tubs laughs]

I bet you think you're real f*cking smart,
don't you, buddy?

An underage girl?
That probably carries about ten years.

Add r*pe, and you're looking at
getting pounded in prison

till the only Fifth is
the avenue up your bleeding assh*le.

- Are you threatening my client, Officer?
- [Tubs] f*ck you, sir.

Take him to his cell,

and make sure the fucker doesn't have
water or a blanket or anything, hmm?

[indistinct chattering]

[blows kiss]

[pensive music playing]

[sniffles]

[siren wailing]

[Mika sighs]

R... Rollo is taking the Fifth.

- For now, anyway.
- What now?

Wh... what now?

We'll sp... speak to the guy
a different way.

[sniffles]

B... but in the evening,

when the precinct's empty.

[sighs]

[mysterious music playing]

ILLUSTRATIVE MATERIAL

[doorbell rings]

Hmm.

Come in.

Would you like something to drink?

Well, somewhere on this planet,
it's after five o'clock.

So, yes, please, I'd appreciate it.

[Jassijej] Have you found any leads yet?

[Wanycz] No, not yet.

[Jassijej] I ask because
it turns out that the boy

may being using a name other than Filip.

Apparently, he hated it.

He wanted to be called Alfred.

Doesn't ring a bell.

That's a fine necklace.

Hmm.

How about my business? Found anything?

I think that if we find the boy,

then we're gonna find
what you're looking for too.

[pop music plays in background]

Hi.

I bought you some cream cake.

Seems a little off, doesn't it?

[Kinga] In this town,
nothing looks like it ought to.

[chuckles]

Hey, is something wrong?

No, I just feel like
it's clear you wanna keep seeing me,

so there's something you've gotta know.

I hurt someone really badly
when I was a little girl.

She was someone weaker.

Hated myself for a while.

I was...

It was so bad, I felt like

k*lling myself, but I couldn't do it.

And then, finally,
I got really sick due to all of that.

Sick how?

I've got a stoma.

Um, what is that?

[Kinga] A colostomy bag.

I have... on my,
uh, um, stomach, like a bag.

[Babe] Hmm.

[sighs]

Would you, um, maybe wanna show me that?

Show me, then.

Here?

Why not?

[emotional music playing]

[Kinga sobs]

Hey.

I've also done something in my life

that was terrible, truly.

You can't go back and undo it though.

[breathes deeply]

[sniffles]

[Babe] What's this photo?

[sniffles]

I believe one of those women
was found out in Gronty,

but I don't know which woman yet.

I've identified almost everyone so far.

Uh, for example,
this one d*ed in childbirth in 1985.

But I can't identify these three.

I don't know who's who.
It's as if they completely disappeared.

Just let me try.

Give me their names. I'll check.

Um...

Kowalik.

- [Babe] Mm-hmm.
- Wasiak.

And Muszyńska.

[mysterious music playing]

Who, Muszyńska?

Donata.

Um, can I make a copy of this photo?

Yeah.

I... I'm sorry, but, um,
I have to get back to work.

It's fine.

- I'll bring it back to you.
- It's fine.

You can swing by my place tonight.

I'll be there.

[Kinga laughs]

[Grochu] Harder, harder, last lap!

Kiekut!

Stop f*cking around, huh?

You wanna be making pierogies
like your mother?

You're done, Helenka.

That was amazing.

Amazing, Helenka.
It seems like you're not even tired.

Your time was great.

[Kociołek whistles]

[Grochu] Kiekut!

Harder, harder!

Keep on working!

What's up, Kocioł? How ya doin'?

Hmm?

- Got big red some work and a plus-one.
- [chuckles]

The kraut wants to play doubles,
but he'll pay triple.

Kocioł, I wasn't kidding, man.
Helena's out of the business now.

- Why? Her flair for the water?
- Mmm.

That's something for Australians, Grochu.

Well, she has it too.
She's going to a meet in Spała tomorrow.

That guy's old lady arranged it for her.

Come on. How would it look?
An Olympian that we're whoring?

An Olympian? You f*cking serious?

You think it's gonna
affect her times or something?

How about puttin' the brakes on it?

It'll be the last one.

[sighs] Take Violka.

You aren't ashamed of her, huh?

Pair her up with Muszka. Muszka.

She's back from the Reich, I hear.

- Muszka, huh?
- Mmm?

FABRICS... "JÓZEFINA"... HABERDASHERY

Move your ass, Viola. Got a job for marks.

You and Muszka, three-way.

[tuts] But I'm your wife, am I not?

[chuckles]

I've decided I wanna quit.

Today, of all days, Viola.

I'm being serious.

Quitting is for everybody but me.
Is that what you're saying?

Yeah, for special people. Maybe Olympians.

Cut the f*cking bull, please! She can
barely make the region's minimum times.

Her times aren't close
to what I used to pull off.

That's right, past tense.
We gotta eat, present tense.

I gave birth to a child.

I gave you your little prince.

Promise you'll be good to me
like he is to Helena.

It'll be your last job. I swear to you.

Like a benefit.

And then it's over.

You promise?

Mm-hmm.

You'll propose to me too?

Sure.

On a bridge on the Seine.

C'mon now.

[door closes]

[Viola] I hate that bitch Muszka!

I just want a normal life.

To leave for Paris.

[woman] Mm-hmm.

[Viola whimpers]

[both laugh]

[Grochu] Oh, Muszka, Muszka.

- You're doing well?
- You're better off with us.

- You bet.
- [Muszka] Mmm.

You'd know if you'd've stayed with us.

Old love, it never dies!
It's been a while, Muszka!

You look well, Kocioł.

And Violka? Where is she?

[Kociołek] Preening like
she's going to prom.

- [Muszka laughs]
- Honk the horn.

[horn honks]

Relax!

- Mommy?
- Mmm?

I'm going to make you my princess tonight.

Yeah?

How's that?

[Kociołek] Think Haśnik stands a chance
against the Russian?

[tuts] Józek is all over.
Might not get out of the fourth round.

So what? Don't place a bet?

I mean, I wouldn't make that bet.

How was it in the Reich, Muszka?

How it always is.

- Hmm?
- Lots of work. [chuckles]

Oh man. Over there,
they've got these booths now.

You dance behind a pane of glass
to a guy who's jerking off,

and if he puts in ten more marks,

he can stick his d*ck through a hole
for you to finish him.

You jerk him off there.

[laughing]

- God, the human imagination.
- [Grochu] Dear God.

[Grochu] A d*ck in a hole. [laughs]

Hop.

[dogs barking in distance]

Violka, Muszka.
Shout if anything goes wrong.

What?

Let's go inside now, ladies.
The job's waiting.

[knocking at door]

[in German] Where's the squirrel?

She couldn't come.

I should get a discount.

[Kociołek scoffs]

They are top-class too.

We'll see.

Come in, please.

Good evening.

I'll be back in an hour.

- Okay.
- [Kociołek] Oh.

I've found Wanycz.

How long are you in town?

It depends. Why?

He's organizing a poetry night
in two days.

It may be a good opportunity.

Excellent.

You'll come as my interpreter.

Have fun.

[mysterious music playing]

[music fades]

[wife in English] Goddammit.

- Stefan.
- Hmm?

Seen my necklace around anywhere?

- Have you checked the case?
- No.

Have you seen
the necklace your father got me?

Uh, no.

[door closes]

Violetta, what happened?

N... nothing. Nothing at all.

[jazz music playing in background]

[Jassijej] I'm agitated?

What, are you saying
I shouldn't be agitated?

Do you know what happened?

A moment ago, in the hotel
where I came with my wife on holiday...

Who has the keys to these rooms?
Who has the keys to my cash box?

That's where the necklace was stored!

I'm sorry, I was robbed this evening.

I mean, I wasn't robbed.
It's that my wife was robbed tonight.

And the necklace was valuable
because it was a gift. You get that?

I need to speak with someone
who's actually going to help.

- What are you doing in the lobby, huh?
- You gotta come quick, upstairs.

[uneasy music playing]

Oh, f*ck me.

What the f*ck did you do?

What do you mean? What did you do?

- Did you know what a monster he was?
- Tell me what went on here.

I was supposed to get in the bathtub.
Viola was disrobing, but he hit her.

- Did she do that?
- Mm-hmm.

- Where is she, huh?
- She f*cking split!

Wait here.

[breathing anxiously]

[door opens, closes]

[whistles]

- There's no money.
- [door opens]

We were screaming for help.
Where the f*ck were you, huh?

You were supposed to
watch the back, not nap.

Oh f*ck.

We have to clean here.
I think vinegar's best.

m*therf*cker was despicable, didn't I say?

Oh, f*ck you! Just pack up his things.
And you, make it shine.

- [Grochu] Where are you going?
- I gotta take care of something.

[uneasy music continues]

Tell me where she is.

She f*cking stormed in,
stormed out. That's all.

- What did you do to that girl?
- Not a f*ckin' thing.

But where'd she go?

And the kid?

Did she bring Filip with her?

With the face like p*ssy lips?

- [both laugh]
- [door closes]

[music fades]

- [Kociołek] What happened?
- Nothing.

Then why have you been crying?

[Filip] Because Mommy left.

She mention where she went?

No, she said she'd be right back though.

And I don't wanna
live at home without her, Dad.

Hey.

I'll bring Mommy back.

Don't you worry, son.

[uneasy music playing]

[train whistle wailing]

[tense music playing]

Oh, please. Just let me go.

Yeah, of course.

I made a promise
it'd be your final job, didn't I?

Just give me my money back,
and you can go.

[music fades]

[officer] Once more, sir.
What did this necklace look like?

[Jassijej] What's it matter?
You won't find it anyway.

You guys are pinheads, not police.

Sir, please.

Thefts don't happen in our hotel.
They just don't.

Comrade Szustak,
you have rats in your hotel,

and I fully intend to report it.

- [scrubbing]
- [knocking at door]

[whispers] Quiet.

- Who's there?
- Kocioł.

Where were you? This place is cop city.

It's cool. They're not here for us.

- And Viola?
- [Kociołek] She f*cking split.

Maybe it's for the best.

The kraut is starting
to stink up the place.

Get out of here, Muszka,
and don't say nothin'.

- What about my cash, huh?
- You'll get it later.

What am I, a f*cking charity?
You owe us both a bonus after this sh*t.

For f*ck's sake!

I'm about to do you like the German.
Get the f*ck outta here.

f*ckin' assh*le.

- Grab him.
- [door opens]

- [door closes]
- Onto the floor.

[officer] f*ck, what a day.

[car door opens]

[car doors close]

[siren wailing]

[Jędrula] Here.

Oh, thanks.

Are you off?

Night shift.

[VCR whirring]

[VHS clatters]

[button clicks]

[mysterious music playing]

[chuckles] m*therf*cker, you're mine.

- [truck beeping]
- [indistinct chattering]

[tense music playing]

[man 1] All right. Okay.

One more here, yeah?

[man 2] Yeah, yeah. Right.

[vehicle approaching]

- Okay.
- See ya.

What the f*ck was that mayhem last night?
Who were those Gypsies?

Calm down. It was a mistake.
It's already cleared up.

Please, man, a mistake?
Well, that's f*ckin' rich.

Rollo got thrown through a window.
The pigs got him.

What if he snitches?

You think Rollo's a f*ckin' snitch?
I think you're the real rat.

- Yo, hey. Calm down.
- I'll f*ckin' k*ll you.

f*ckin' let him go. f*ck, calm down!

- [chuckles]
- Let's keep to the plan, yeah?

Get in the car, Marek.

And you, Aluś, go make your g*dd*mn
deliveries to the address like we planned.

Is that clear?

Is it?

[engine revving]

[announcement chime plays]

[indistinct announcement in background]

Sorry, there's a line, sir.
You have to book the cab in the front.

Oh.

What's the issue?

Do you remember this lady here?

[chuckles]

You tend to remember
that kinda woman, you know?

[Babe chuckles]

[driver] I took her down to the border.

[Babe] Where to exactly?

To a villa in the forest.

Przygraniczna 17.

[chuckles]

Thank you very much.

- [door closes]
- What is this?

- [Mika] It's your Fifth.
- [grunts]

Hey! Hey, man, get this assh*le off of me.

So who's this guy, then?

[Rollo] Oh, f*ck you!

[uneasy music playing]

[Rollo screaming in pain]

f*ck!

Ah f*ck!

m*therf*cker, goddammit! f*ck!

[uneasy music continues]

[music fades]

[coughing]

[spits]

Jacek! F... f*ck.

- [laughs]
- You came for me.

- Mm.
- [spits] At last.

But how did you find me though?

A friend of ours
helped me out and told me.

The beautician.

[uneasy music playing]

Set me free.

Who messed you up like this, little guy?

Are you f*cking with me?

What the f*ck?
What the f*ck are you doing?

- f*ck! Untie me!
- Huh?

What are you doin'? What the f*ck?

Seriously, what the actual f*ck?

Jacek!

[grunts in pain]

Now look who's the dummy, Marian.

[music fades]

[doorbell buzzes]

- Yes?
- [Babe] Good evening.

I'm out here this evening
selling carpet shampooers. Mrs. Muszyńska?

- Wrong address.
- [Babe] That's strange.

Yeah, my book says
this home is Mrs. Muszyńska's

Sorry, man.
No one with that name lives here.

All right then, though,
maybe you'd like a carpet shampooer?

- [woman] I've got a Rainbow, thanks.
- Oh, uh, and linens?

- No.
- [Babe] Uh, hey!

Uh, have we run into each other somewhere?

For real?

You wish, man.

[Babe] Have a nice evening!

[door lock clicks]

[uneasy music playing]



[woman] Who was that?

I don't know, but he smelled like a pig.

What'd he want?

To f*ckin' speak to Mrs. Muszyńska.

Have the boys get over here!

Th... th... that's the best polygraph.

I can't really imagine you fishing, Mika.

It's strange to m... m... me why Rollo
would start workin' for some other g*ng.

His backup must b... be real strong.

I di... didn't expect that of him.

Do you know where they are?

I do. By the border.

[sneezes]

[tense music playing]

What took you so long?

[man] Aluś was kinda shook
after that brawl at the club,

but he's good now.

I hope so. Hurry it along, huh?

All right. Sh, sh, sh.

All right, baby.

Baldie, f*cking help me out!

Here. Take that one.

Straight ahead.

[girl] Straight ahead!

Get up!

Hand over the keys.

Make this place shine.

Got it?

[groans]

Sit down.

[Baldie] Come on.

[uneasy music playing]

[music fades]

It's now or never.

Hey, no.

Wait.

[Babe] Get the f*ck out! Get the f*ck out!

[g*nshots continue]


Przygraniczna 17!
I'm in need of backup now, please!

And an ambulance and a SWAT team
to Przygraniczna 17!

Quickly! It's a bloodbath over here!

[rapid g*nf*re continues]

[grunts]

[funky pop music playing]
