01x02 - Episode 2

[bunniefuu]

You're getting out of prison in a month.

After twenty-five years.

A long time.

How does it feel?

Are you curious what the world looks like
after all this time?

What do you want from me?

You seem to want something
from me too.

-You agreed to this interview.
-I already regret it.

The Silesians are afraid.

Do you know that Norman Pionek,
'The Vampire', is getting released?

How is this country supposed to function
if they let a m*rder*r like that go free?

Give it a rest, son.

A woman's voice… I can't remember
when I last heard one…

Do you remember the voice
of Basia Gawlik?

Of Mirosława Engels? Sabina Szyndzielorz?
Do you remember your mother's voice?

-You've really let me down, son…
-I'm curious, tell me.

I'm done!

A month before you get out,
someone is copying your murders!

A young girl has been k*lled,
have you heard about that?

Have you?

You said you hadn't seen Michalina Badura
on the night of the m*rder.

What did you lie to me for?

-I was afraid you'd suspect me…
-Are you surprised?

-His friend was m*rder*d.
-Exactly…

Michalina was at a party that your company
organised on the night of the m*rder.

How many times do I have to explain?
I run an architecture firm.

Michalina was my intern.
I hire the best students.

We were celebrating
the completion of a project.

CCTV footage confirmed that
Michalina Badura left the party at 10 pm.

And at 11.30 pm she was with you.

-What was she doing in the meantime?
-I don't know.

When I came to pick her up,
she wasn't in the best shape.

-How so? Was she drunk, high…?
-Both.

I offered to drive her home.

But Miśka never had enough.

We had a row, and…
I left her by Silesian Park.

-Well done.
-What about?

-Excuse me?
-What was the row about?

And how could you talk
if you were both wearing helmets?

She nearly fell off my bike.
She was high.

-Who did she buy drugs from?
-Not from me.

Maybe she took some
at the dad's party…?

Mind your words!

Were you at the Spływ pub
that evening?

No.
It's not my sort of place.

I might have been there once or twice,
but not on that night.

Michalina…

Was r*ped before she died.

Will you let us take a DNA sample?

My son won't agree to anything
without consulting a solicitor.

In that case I'll be back with a warrant.

Your father hired
a more talented classmate.

That must have stung.

Hey.

-Are you stalking me?
-No.

I wanted to invite you
for a morning coffee.

Is that why you're sleeping in the car?

I was keeping an eye on the car.
I've heard it's a dangerous neighbourhood.

Where are you off to so early?

-To a party.
-Cool.

Normal people go to work, you know?

-Need a lift?
-Thanks, I'll walk.

I spoke to Pionek.

And? Did you ask him
why he k*lled my mum?

I tried.

For twenty years
I've been trying to escape this nightmare.

And since I've had a daughter,
I've been trying even harder.

He's about to get out of prison.
I'm trying to shake up public opinion.

I need you, won't you help me?

I haven't been Karolina
since he k*lled my mum.

To everyone, I became the daughter
of that woman k*lled by Pionek.

Just like to you now.

Leave me in peace. Please.

Hey!

Karolina!

So what did you wake me up for?

[ Burning coal is a road to the morgue ]
[ Clean Silesia ]

[ Stop poisoning us!!! ]

Well…

I thought you'd chickened out.

-I rang you a thousand times…
-I didn't feel like talking.

Sorry!

Berni, what's going on?

We'll talk later.

You promised you'd call me!

Sorry…

There's been a lot going on…

-Hey, are you alright?
-Alright?

Nothing's alright!
What's alright?

-You wanted it yourself!
-That's not what I wanted!

Did you think we'd be
calling each other and holding hands now?

-You r*ped me!
-What are you on about?

I'll tell that policewoman
what you did to me!

What's up with you?

Let's go!

We'll be absent. There are
bigger things. Join us!

Clean Silesia. Protest. Tuesday 11 am.

-Here!
-Take this!

-Take this!
-Sure!

Oh, there!
Will you pass it on?

Take this!
It's great you're here with us!

Visitors think they shouldn't interfere.

-Applied anthropology.
-We're fighting for a just cause.

We are fighting for a future
not just for ourselves,

-but also for our kids and grandparents!
-It's nice you're here!

People!
We want what's best for you!

Remember!

Misia would love to be here with us!
We're here for her too!

We want a clean Silesia!

Clean Silesia! Clean Silesia!

-Get the f*ck out!
-We want to live!

Clean Silesia! Clean Silesia!

Clean Silesia! Clean Silesia!

f*ck!

A human chain, people!
A human chain!

Clean Silesia! Clean Silesia!

We want to live! We want to live!

Oi! What the f*ck...?

Let's go!

Let me go!
Leave me the f*ck alone!

-You c**t!
-Shut the f*ck up!

-Watch her!
-Sit the f*ck down!

Come on, come on…

-Do you have the keys?
-Yeah…

The one with the lanyard.

I'm here, I'm here!

-Oh, sh*t!
-What?

Where does it hurt?

No!

Stop it, stop…

Stop it…

Bloody hell…

Can I help you?

Hey!

Can I…?

-Is Brzeska in?
-Yes, but she's in an online meeting.

And what's this about?

So she's in…?

-But you can't do that!
-I'm pregnant, I can do anything!

How long must I wait for the warrant
to take a DNA sample from Gerard Keller?

I've got other cases…

I haven't had a chance
to look at it yet.

Justyna…

Cut the bullshit!

The bloke's so rich
we'll be looking for him

in Dubai or some other Neverland
by this time tomorrow!

You know I can take you
off this case?

When did you last have
a physical ability test?

You'd better watch out…

I know that Keller's father
designed your new house.

-So what?
-Nothing…

But the press will give no quarter
once they find out

that the District Prosecutor
is delaying the issuance of a warrant

in the case of the m*rder*d student.

You were a b*tch at uni,
and that hasn't changed.

So what's it going to be?

I wanted to say
that the whole series is brilliant.

You need to turn…

Please tell me…

Is there much of the real Pionek
in this k*ller from the book…?

I used to be a profiler,
I got to know that world.

I've got plenty to draw on.

But all my characters,
they're pure fiction.

-I always make that clear.
-I know that…

But you know, it all checks out.

The age, the weapon,
the tough relationship with his mother…

Do you know anyone with
a good relationship with their mum?

Because I don't.

I have a great relationship with my mum!

-Congratulations!
-Bastian Strzygoń.

-For whom…?
-I'm an investigative journalist,

I'm doing a piece on the
Vampire of Szombierki.

Would you agree to talk to me?

I haven't worked for the police
for a long time.

Thank you!

But you're a legend,
a famous profiler.

I think thousands of people
would love to meet you.

You've chosen the wrong moment.

-I'm really busy… Gizela…?
-Yes.

I've talked to Pionek.

Check, check…

First of all, I'd like to make clear…

That I do not consent…

To my name being disclosed

in any situation or in any form.

Nor my identifiable
participation in this conversation.

Of course, you can…

…trust me completely.

Of course.

I, however…

-I'll be recording this.
-Great.

Go ahead, I'm listening.

I'm curious what a legend
of this famous scandal, such as yourself,

thinks of this surprising coincidence,

that just now, when…

The infamous Vampire of Szombierki
is getting released,

the police find a girl, m*rder*d…

In a manner that precisely mimics
the modus operandi of the Vampire

I won't tell you anything
about this recent m*rder.

And not because
I don't know anything about it,

or because I have no suspicions…

It's simply because I can't.

My wife is a police officer,

and she's involved in this investigation.

Really? Your wife?

Quite a coincidence…
You back then, her today…

-A bit creepy, considering…
-Creepy…

But didn't you meet
while solving the Vampire case?

No, not at the Vampire case,
we met much later.

But getting back to Pionek
and his impending release…

I wrote a lengthy letter
on this matter to the General Prosecutor,

but to no avail,
I received no reply.

In Poland, there's this 'beast act'…

Maybe something can be done
to keep Pionek in prison?

But what are you suggesting…?

That something
should be planted in his cell?

Is that how it's done?

I'm just asking out of curiosity,
off the record.

If they found…

Child p*rn*graphy in his cell,
would he stay in prison?

Mr Bastian…

I'm an old hand,
you know…

You won't catch me with those
'off the record' tricks.

So don't you even try.

It seems to me that…

The public has a right to know,
to know exactly…

Just how brutal Pionek was.

And perhaps this kind of pressure…

Some kind of public pressure
could force the court

to reverse the decision to release him.

-Are these court files?
-They're not files.

They're just my…

Personal materials.

Notes… various things.

This is Barbara Gawlik.

The law forbids us, you know…
from taking files home.

Barbara Gawlik is Pionek's first victim.

When he m*rder*d her,
her eyes were open… there's a photo…

He covered her face
with her own underwear.

Back then, he wasn't bold enough
to r*pe his victims, but later…

With every subsequent crime,
his deviance grew.

Mirosława Engel.

And this is her daughter?

Yes.

Karolinka.

She was…

Thirteen years old.

I've met her.

Then please be very gentle with her.

If you're capable of that.

Her mother was m*rder*d
in an extremely bestial manner.

Thirteen stab wounds.

He left her naked.

And here is…

Sabina Szyndzielorz.

This is Pionek's first victim
whom he r*ped.

I'm sorry, could we take
a short break? I'm…

Do you have anything with sugar?

Some juice? I don't know…
A chocolate bar?

Diabetes?

You've got weak nerves
for a journalist. I'll get you something.

Sick…

Is juice OK?

Yes, please!

I'm terribly sorry.

Oh dear…

Have some biscuits, here.

-Oh, thank you!
-You're welcome.

You gave me a fright.

Feeling better now!

I do not consent

to my name being disclosed

in any situation or in any…

Awesome…

There is no room for compromise
in The Naked Truth

You've heard a part of a conversation
with a man who played a direct part

in the capture
of the Vampire of Szombierki.

The rest is coming soon on my channel.

Like and subscribe!

The series
from the heart of Silesia goes on.

-Do girls fall for that?
-I don't know.

I've never had
to try this hard before.

I'm not sure
how to square these two things.

On the one hand,
my report on Pionek,

with which you don't want to help me…

And on the other hand…

I feel that…

We could somehow…

Do you think I want you
to ask me out on a date?

Yeah.

You know, when I fancy a shag,
I know how to use the app.

Unless you've got
something more to offer.

What are you scared of, eh?

The only thing I'm scared of now
is that someone might hurt Sandra.

Listen, I…

I've done everything
to forget the night mum died.

I took this case to stop this monster
from ever getting out of prison.

So that he wouldn't hurt anyone again.

I really care about this.

Alright.

So what did you want to ask me?

I've found
some inconsistencies in the files.

At the time of the m*rder, your father
was reportedly on a binge with his mates.

And one of them confirms this,
but his other mate…

Swore that your dad wasn't there.

What's so strange about that?

Gaps in the memory of a bum
with a brain pickled in booze?

The police checked all the statements.

And my father
drank in that den every day.

On that day too.
Do you know how I know?

Because I had to drag him
out of there myself.

I was twelve,
and the f*ck weighed a ton.

Thanks for refreshing my memory!

I'm sorry…

Norman Pionek is going to be released in…

You were supposed to find a place.

I thought you loved being my flatmate.

But if you need
the place to yourself, doctor…

…then I can go to the cinema…

… or something.

A woman's voice… I can't remember
when I last heard one…

And…?

Did you hear his reaction
to a woman's voice?

-If I came with a woman, then…
-No way.

Come on…! Help me!
We're a team, Anka.

Pionek is your job.
Don't drag me into this!

Seriously, I've got things to do.

Yeah, I've just seen…

Look… A m*rder*r, the Vampire,
is due to be released.

-I'm trying to get the word out.
-I've said - no.

What are you making for dinner?

That lad of your is not too shabby…

Handsome, manly…

Don't tell me he's your student!

No…!

Seriously…?

I'll be damned!

Ms Professor…!

Stop it, stop it!

Kamila was arrested
at the protest yesterday.

Could you put in a good word for her
with the dean?

Let go! Let me go!

Is she in custody?

Yes. Some people saw her and others
being taken into a police car.

That bloke waiting for you yesterday…
Are you close?

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

Are you interrupting my class again?

I hope this time it's about
the unlawful arrest of Kamila Janosz.

I'll ask my colleagues
who were securing the protest.

I wouldn't exactly
call that 'securing'.

We have a warrant
to take you to the station,

-to take a sample of DNA…
-Alright. We can go.

Is Gerard accused of something?

I was there and I saw
how you treated the students.

-And I can testify.
-As of now, Mr Keller is suspected

of a serious crime,
not of idiotic convictions.

-That's all for now.
-Did it hurt?

Commissioner! This examination
is an attempt to intimidate my client.

Mr Keller has not been charged.
He can go home.

But if your DNA matches
the DNA we've secured,

I'll be back with
an arrest warrant for m*rder.

I will report you
for mental abuse of my client.

I look forward to it, Counsellor!

All of you, you're out.

To the right.

Kamila…?

Hey.

I'm starving.

Fancy something to eat?

Come on, Berni, where are you?
Let me know you're all right.

I'm out now.

Did they give you a rough time?

They aren't police,
but condescending fascists!

I saw the threats
on Michalina's computer.

Our IT team are checking it right now.

Kamila…

I want to talk about Gerard.

You were closest to Michalina,
were they going out?

No.

I know you don't want
to speak ill of a friend,

and that you've got a grudge
against the police.

He was with her
on the night of the m*rder.

-She was going downhill because of him.
-Does Gerard sell drugs?

I know they did drugs together.
He dragged her into this crap.

She couldn't get away from him.

Do you think he might have hurt her?

All I know is
that I miss her so damn much.

Go away!

That policewoman's got it in for me
because she doesn't know what else to do.

-I didn't k*ll Miśka!
-Then why the DNA test?

The last time I saw her,
she was alive.

-I'm not a f*cking m*rder*r!
-Stop it!

We won't be seeing each other anymore.

Do you have any regrets?

Should I?

Hey! I hope you like
pasta with hot-dog sausages…?

Because that's all
I can cook. What's up?

I agree.

Take me to Pionek.

I was wondering how you managed

to get Pionek to agree
to another meeting.

He asked for an extra shower.

Are you OK?

Good morning, Mr Norman.

Just her.

Either both or none of us.

But that's not what we agreed.
I mean…

Alright, OK!

Are you sure?

Is that journalist your son…?

A boyfriend…?

A friend.

Before you start asking me
all your questions…

Will you tell me something
about yourself?

What?

Do you have a husband?

And children?

No.

What do you think
of the death penalty?

Nothing.

And you?

I'm against it.

Death isn't always the worst…

Of all that can happen, is it?

Do you ever think about them?

About whom?

-Barbara Gawlik…
-No.

And about your mum?

Do you remember
your dreams from last night?

No, I don't remember my dreams.

That's a shame.

That m*rder*d girl, Michalina…

Was going to be my student.

And do you know how she died?

Out there, it seems someone
really wants to be like you, eh?

I hear he respects me a great deal,
the poor idiot…

Another Übermensch.

Have you met him?

Has he written to you?

-Do you have those letters?
-I destroyed them.

And how did he sign them?

You're not here
for that journalist after all, are you?

Who do you care about so much
to talk to me dressed up as if for a date?

Do you know who wrote to you?

I wish I knew, but I don't.

So, you won't be
visiting me anymore, will you?

Shame.

What are you going to do
when you get out of here?

I'll go for a burger.

Would you like to come with me?

I hear he respects me a great deal,
the poor idiot…

Another Übermensch.

Bastian…

-We have to tell the police about this.
-Have you lost your mind?

They'll grill him, he'll clam up,

they won't get anything,
and I'll lose an awesome story!

This isn't a f*cking joke!

Don't you get it?
Another girl could die any minute now!

Leave a message after the beep.

What's going on?

Berni, why aren't you answering?

Let me know
when you've listened to this…

I'm worried!
