Post by bunniefuu »

- Okay, drips, please.

- Two units of blood.

- Back off.

- I'm police.

I need to know

the patient's condition.

She's fighting for her life.

- What's the status?

- Stab wounds, saturation 80,

heart rate 35, dropping

Clear!

- Talk to me.

- She's in an induced coma.

She's lost a lot of blood,

but the organs are intact.

She'll make it.

She was on her way to her mother

in Germany.

When she saw him following her,

she returned home.

Yeah?

Security cams show him waiting

for her at the station.

The girl got on the train

to Locknitz, clearly so did he.

He left his car

in the station parking lot.

A black Golf, must be the same one,

so everything checks out.

We're trying

to get a description,

but it's not easy.

He always wears a hoodie.

He knows his sh*t.

f*ck.

Okay, thanks.

It's the guy who's been following me.

Only one person's seen his face.

Hania.

Just five minutes

with a police shrink.

It's your call.

We're going to have a chat

with Mom's friend, okay?

I hear they have

chocolate cookies there.

So that's your priority now?

Why is Grandpa mad at us?

Grandpa is not mad at you.

- Good morning.

- Hi, Hania.

I'm Julia, nice to meet you.

This is the lady I told you about.

Take off your jacket.

- What's that?

- A horse.

What a pretty horse.

How about we go to a special room?

What animals do you like?

My favorite are dolphins, hedgehogs,

and hamsters.

I know why I'm here.

To tell you about that man.

That's true. You're very smart,

you know?

I know.

Do you think you could tell me

what he looked like?

- What if I helped you a little?

- I don't know.

I'll show you photos. Tell me if you

recognize anyone. Was it him?

Him, maybe?

- Are you sure?

- I am.

Take a good look.

- I'm sure.

- Him?

- None of these men?

- None.

Did he say anything?

He was holding a candy

and he said that I'll get it

if I'll pray for Daddy.

I told him I pray for Daddy anyway.

- A very nice reply.

- This looks like a spider's web.

- It does.

- He had one like it.

This will have to do.

- We've got the tattoo confirmed.

- But no ID. We've got sh*t.

- Tough. I'm sending out an APB.

- See you.

I can't take her to the station.

Don't you understand?

I do, but I've got my stuff.

Janek, can't you postpone

the meeting?

I need to go, bye.

f*ck, I don't believe this.

Don't worry, Mom.

I can go to work with you.

Listen, or maybe you'd like to see

Grandma Gosia?

f*ck, man, I don't have time!

- Calm down, ma'am.

- Move it, for f*ck's sake!

Language!

- I want a candy bar.

- I'm in a rush.

A candy bar.

- This one.

- The blue one?

- Yes.

- Okay.

- Let me do it.

- Okay, go ahead.

There you go. Now scram upstairs.

And what do you do at work, Mom?

I solve all kinds of mysteries.

Who are those people?

Do you know them?

No, those are people

I'm looking for or

I need to talk to

or who need my help. Sit down.

Don't leave this room, okay?

Okay.

I'll just be in the briefing

for a sec.

Based on the tattoos recognized

by Zawieja's daughter,

our suspect is Tomasz Wrobel.

We know he was the victim's patient

and that he was harassing her

for weeks.

This f*ck was following Kosinska,

now he's following you.

At the cemetery he tells

your daughter to pray for Wojtek.

I can't take any risks.

Hania will get a 24/7 detail.

- I'm putting a car outside your home.

- Thanks.

Alright people, get to work.

Let's gather all the threads

and catch this f*ck, all right?

- Zawieja, sorry about last night.

- Seriously?

Yes.

Hello?

It's Hania and Grandma.

Mom, come in.

It's Hania and Grandma!

Mom, come in!

- It's Hania and Grandma!

- Girls, it's a police radio

- What happened to you?

- It's just a scratch.

No. It was a car accident.

- What accident?

- A fender bender.

- But

- It was nothing.

Hello. I see your younger sister

popped in for a visit.

- You're overdoing it, but thanks.

- Right. Okay, Zawieja.

We have a probable location

on Wrobel. Coming?

- Yeah.

- Okay. I'll wait downstairs.

- See you later, bye.

- Bye.

Mom, I have to go now.

- Okay.

- I'll get you a ride home.

So I'll see you

in the evening, okay?

Thanks for coming.

I wish you'd called me earlier.

I missed you two.

The weather is not easy on us lately.

And it doesn't help the police

searching for suspect Tomasz Wrobel

in connection with the homicide

of Prosecutor Strzelecki's daughter.

According to unofficial sources,

he might be holding

the newborn child

of victim Magda Kosinska.

The suspect's photo

is on police website.

If you know anything, give us a call.

And now, to boost your spirits

It's not a newborn,

it's a three-month-old baby.

Clear.

- Get the f*ck out!

- Police!

- Drop the f*cking knife!

- Leave the baby!

- Get the f*ck out!

- Shut up!

Police! The child will be fine.

- Whose child is it?

- Mine.

- You sure?

- It's mine!

I'll let your hand go and show you

a photo. No funny stuff, right?

Okay.

Tomasz Wrobel. Is he the father?

- No.

- You sure?

- He rents a room here!

- Any idea where he is now?

I haven't seen the psycho in a week.

- He has a garage outside!

- In the yard?

- By the water.

- Let her get the baby.

That's the room?

- Is that the room?

- Yes.

That's it. There, there, sweetie.

What can you tell us about Wrobel?

He's a freak. I knew I shouldn't have

taken him in.

He'd run around all day, yelling,

scaring my child.

I needed the money.

Hush, honey, it's okay now.

It's alright.

Hush, baby, hush.

- So where's that garage?

- By the water, no. 34.

- Have you got the keys?

- No.

I guess it's here.

f*ck.

We need to get the techs here.

The f*cking stench

- Hi.

- What's up?

Wrobel was renting a garage, we found

a gutted pig there. So we traced

Strzelecki's "gift."

Trepa will go to the vet inspection

to check who bought the pig

and where.

Alright. Zawieja?

Anything else? Zawieja?

And there's the drone.

Now we know he was watching Magda.

We've checked all the files.

Wrobel is from out of town.

Strzelecki hasn't prosecuted him,

why this obsession with that family?

It just doesn't add up.

Zawieja, listen

he must have that child.

- Or it's the most probable scenario.

- Okay, then

- He did time in the Goleniow prison?

- Yes.

- Maybe I'll learn something there.

- Okay.

- I'll give the warden a heads up.

- Bye.

- Secure this.

- Okay. See you.

- Hi, are you at home?

- Yes.

There's lunch in the fridge.

- Check if the cops are outside.

- We're going to have a great time.

- Yeah, there's a police car.

- Good.

- If anything happens, call me.

- Okay, bye.

- Bye.

- I'll drop you off by your car.

You don't believe it's Wrobel?

I can tell it's bothering you.

Come in.

- The detective.

- Come in.

Hello.

Tomasz Wrobel, right?

There's his file.

Have a seat.

He's not your guy.

You're looking for someone

who has committed a brutal m*rder.

And Wrobel is a plain coward.

A bottom feeder.

The inmates treated him like sh*t.

Where'd you get the idea it's him?

I don't need to explain myself.

I've got my leads.

No wonder the crime rate's going up.

- I'd like to see his cell.

- What's there to see?

There you go.

A group cell with a large rotation.

You won't find anything there.

You didn't react when

his cellmates beat him?

Have you read how he treated

that 15-year-old girl?

He was doing time for r*pe.

Did he use the library?

Had access to a computer?

Yes, he did.

Like all prisoners.

Take me there, then.

For f*ck's sake 21st century.

Follow me, please.

Be my guest.

Have a seat.

Right

Inmate Wrobel's account

Tomasz Wrobel's search history,

it's all there.

And what did he read?

I'll check his card and bring it.

Right.

Here.

All books he checked out.

f*ck that warden's

a hell of a charmer, isn't he?

- He didn't want to let me in.

- I pissed him off a bit.

Well, that explains it.

You really have a knack for this.

- I was at that pig farm.

- I can smell that.

They recognized Wrobel.

He was the one who sent the package

to Strzelecki. You're welcome.

What have you got here?

Wrobel's search history.

During the few years here

he developed an obsession

with Strzelecki and one of his cases,

Ryszard Kreutz.

- The guy who did the prost*tute?

- Correct.

- What do you know about it?

- As much as you and anyone.

He k*lled a prost*tute,

hung her on a church door

and as I recall,

he managed to off a few bums

- before Strzelecki locked him up.

- Is Kreutz doing time here?

- Tenth year in solitary.

- 15 more to go.

- Ryszard that's his name, right?

- Yes.

Take a look.

"HEART OF DARKNESS"

They f*cking marked excerpts.

I'll have to take this.

- And what did you find?

- Ryszard Kreutz.

Is it possible Wrobel

had contact with him in here?

Kreutz there you go.

10 years in solitary,

under constant surveillance.

He eats, sleeps and shits with us.

Anka Janas woke up. We have to go

and confirm Wrobel's ID.

I think Wrobel was working for Kreutz

or was heavily inspired by him.

He had no reason to go

after the Strzeleckis.

Kreutz's spent most time in solitary.

Unless the guards got bribed.

Maybe they did. We'll have to

interrogate Kreutz on our terms.

- And you'll be the one do it?

- If it helps find the baby, I will.

- So now Kreutz has the baby?

- I didn't say that.

Zawieja, we're looking for Wrobel.

Let's focus on one thing

and do it right.

Then stop nibbling those

f*cking nuts and focus.

Hello.

Zawieja, I'm authorized

to interrogate the patient.

Thank you.

Hello.

I'm sorry, I have to ask a question

about the case.

Ania

Could this be the man

who attacked you?

I don't think so.

Take a good look,

maybe you'll remember.

I don't think it's him. I'm sorry.

You're sure?

Alright. I'm sorry.

Everything will be all right, honey.

You just need to rest a few days.

And you'll come home.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

So?

She didn't ID him.

Something's f*cking stinks.

Both Hania and Janas saw him.

But neither has identified him.

- Maybe there's two of them.

- Or maybe even three.

But you said yourself Kreutz

is behind all this.

So let's follow it up.

Okay, we need to confront

Strzelecki about this.

See how he reacts to Kreutz.

Call Pietrzak.

It's a start.

Come in.

Thank you for coming, Prosecutor.

I'm sorry we kept you waiting.

Tell us what we've got.

Right. So

Wrobel, suspected of k*lling your

daughter and abducting the child,

wasn't acting alone.

The name Ryszard Kreutz

came up in the investigation.

Kreutz?

Wrobel and Kreutz were in

Goleniow prison at the same time.

But he's in solitary.

Yes, but we're checking how Kreutz

could've contacted the outside world

and we're not ruling out bribery.

The search history

in a prison computer shows

that Wrobel was fascinated by Kreutz

and the tragic death

of your wife, Julia.

How can I help?

We'll need all the Kreutz case files

from the Prosecutor's office.

And if possible, police photos

from your wife's accident.

Sure.

I'm sorry about your husband,

but the autopsy report left no doubt.

Wrobel's books.

He'd easily manipulate

someone like Kreutz.

We know it from his psych evaluation.

They contacted each other

by checking out the same books.

They communicated by

marking certain excerpts.

You're saying Kreutz

brainwashed Wrobel?

Kreutz is an icon in Goleniow.

A preacher of sorts

for all those f*ck.

Apparently since his release

Wrobel has become Kreutz's agent.

Carrying out his orders.

I've talked to Janas. Like Hania,

she hasn't identified him.

Maybe he's not operating alone?

Let's focus on Wrobel,

all evidence leads to him.

We have to catch him, ASAP.

The placenta in the city,

the pig's fetus, even the flowers

Kreutz planned it all,

so that it'd lead us to him.

- Okay.

- We have to isolate him,

- interrogate him on our terms.

- Alright.

I'll see what I can do.

Please don't smoke here.

Hania needs intimacy,

like every child.

She needs warmth.

She wouldn't let go of me all day.

Hugging me, cuddling

I think she lacks something.

I know, Mom.

But what can I say?

Don't treat me like an enemy.

I see you've tidied up

since our last "date."

What happened?

Changes.

You've already been on the force.

Why did it take so long

to find Kreutz?

He was one smart m*therf*cker.

Good at hiding.

We had no evidence.

No traces of his DNA on the body.

No m*rder weapon. He must've had

a partner, but we never found them.

- On what grounds was he sentenced?

- It was all circumstantial.

The investigators believed he had

an accomplice, but Strzelecki

was so convincing

that Kreutz was found guilty.

I think the person

who might've helped him

was Wrobel.

He was a punk back then,

it had to be someone else.

Maybe not with the prost*tute,

but then he did time

for r*pe on a minor,

in the same prison as Kreutz.

- He was fascinated by him.

- And you think that what?

Kreutz met Wrobel and somehow messed

with his head, and then Wrobel

Followed Kosinska,

she went into labor and

You think he's got the baby?

Or the guy you didn't find back then.

To me it looks like f*cking

revenge from the inside.

TRAGIC DEATH

OF MICHAL STRELECKI'S WIFE

Maybe whoever helped Kreutz

is still working for him.

Maybe now he's working with Wrobel.

This case is starting to get to me.

Wojtek called me that night.

He wanted to talk.

I was with my kids.

I had no idea

it was that f*cking bad.

I didn't feel like talking,

so I ignored him.

I feel guilty too.

I just wanted you to know.

- Care to join us for a beer, doctor?

- Thanks, next time.

- Have fun.

- Too bad. Bye.

See you tomorrow.

Dorota?

Listen, I think that

all of this is my fault.

Michal I beg you

Dorota?

Dorota? Hello?

Not wasting time, I see.

- I'm sorry, it's work stuff.

- This f*cking work of yours

It's either work or me,

but work is winning.

I see

- What do you expect me to say?

- Right.

f*cking come up with something.

You've got two options:

You can throw divorce papers

at him and leave. Or

you can state your terms

and give him a chance.

Good luck.

- Yeah?

- You won't believe this.

Our suspect Wrobel,

has kidnapped Strzelecki's partner.

He's in the industrial area,

near the chocolate factory,

under the Castle Route.

- We're on our way.

- I'll be there.

He's over there.

The negotiator's on the way,

he'll be here in 40 minutes.

I'm innocent!

I haven't done anything!

It was Kreutz!

He told me to follow her!

Hold it.

- Are you sure?

- We've got no time.

Where's Strzelecki?

I'll only talk to him!

Bring Strzelecki here!

Kreutz made me do it.

Easy. I'm unarmed.

- See?

- I don't have that baby!

I'm the wrong guy.

I believe you.

Tell me, who's working with you?

I'm unarmed, I just want to talk.

- Tell them to go away.

- I will, but put your g*n down.

No one wants to hurt you.

And you don't want to hurt anybody.

We know Kreutz dragged you into this.

Put the g*n down. I'll listen.

Let's talk.

- Nobody ever f*cking listened to me.

- I want to.

Who are your working with?

Does he have the child?

The child? What child?

- f*ck your kids!

- Okay

I get it. Let's talk.

- Who are you working with?

- You know what?

I want to dream. And I will.

And you can go on living here.

Did he say anything about the child?

Did he say anything else?

About the child?

She's in shock.

Michal, come.

The guy blew his brains out.

Dorota is fine.

She's over there.

Radwan, come over here.

It's from Strzelecki.

The file on his wife's accident.

See?

Here.

Here.

And here.

The black Golf.

That man was following

Strzelecki's wife,

- his daughter

- And then Zawieja.

You think it was him?

We'd have to confirm it.

"The Cat grinned when it saw Alice.

It looked good-natured, she thought."

"Still, it had very long claws

and a great many teeth,"

"so she felt it ought to be treated

with respect."

Do you have a secret admirer?

Where did you get them?

Someone knocked,

they were on the doormat.

Guys

before Wrobel shot himself,

he raved about how he was innocent.

The blow-ups clearly show

that the black Golf driver and Wrobel

are two different people.

So he had a partner.

Zawieja was right.

If Kreutz is behind all this,

then he had two errand boys.

One is dead

and the other is still at large.

And we have no clue who or where.

How the f*ck is it possible that

someone has left flowers at my door?

- I didn't see anyone.

- You missed someone carrying this?

- I didn't see anyone.

- And nobody came out either?
