A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Your organs are still recovering.
If your spleen ruptures causing internal bleeding,
you'll have no chance of surviving.
[agent] It was the prettiest tenement house in the district.
Your great-grandfather had good taste.
Mr. Daniel Serafin, Roman's stepbrother.
Anna and Ola.
The wife and the daughter of your brother.
You were in Daniel Serafin's flat three hours before his death.
Correct?
Are the police shutting this case down on purpose?
All I know is that someone murdered a relative of mine,
but the police pretend nothing happened.
Fucking hell!
[sighs]
[phone ringing]
Hey.
Hi.
So?
I went too far? It was a mistake?
Hmm?
Sorry, I can't act the way you do.
- Who? - You!
What way?
Sitting and waiting for things to work out on their own.
Thinking it's gonna be fine. I can't do that.
So? I'm supposed to let go, right?
No, Mom, I won't! Because I don't believe it was suicide!
Wait! Wait!
Why do you always think I'm wrong just because I try to do something?
So easy to think this way!
It was the same with Maciek!
- Ola, stop it. - I won't cry in the corner like you do!
What are you saying? You think it's easy for me?
Easy? To bury your husband and your son, you think it's easy?
Mom, I'm sorry, that's not what I meant!
[Ola] What am I supposed to do now?
I don't know! Have a shower, brush your teeth, clean up the mess!
You clean up the mess yourself.
[theme song plays]
Michał, I'm sorry.
You hear me? Michał.
I'm sorry. I know I went too far.
Seriously, I've realized that. Sorry. I apologize.
Leave me alone.
Yes, sir. Thank you.
Warsaw sends its best regards.
Okay, I'll take care of that.
Great, so there's no problem.
Just curious how you plan to do it.
You and your girlfriend are gonna delete,
to quote the Chief's words, "the whole fucking Internet"?
Officially, Daniel Serafin's death is not suicide.
- What do you mean? - Now you're working on the case
of the alleged murder of an American citizen in Poland.
We're being watched by Police HQ,
and the whole fucking Internet!
Beata, talk to the lawyer who brought Serafin over to Poland.
Kuba, you probably need an update.
I know this case.
And I've already got to know Ms. Ola Serafin.
Okay, you've got the gist of it then.
Go with Beata.
- What about me? - You should decide if you're healthy.
I already have. I'm healthy.
Are you?
Then stop your Internet buddies from shitting on our heads.
I fucking told you...
no ventilation!
You want some?
Copyright by me.
No.
- I'm... - You're down.
[door closing]
[footsteps receding into distance]
Maybe just a bit.
[laptop chimes]
- Hi. - Hello.
I'm really sorry, I should have let you know beforehand.
- Yep. - You should have.
At least we've got it over with.
There are a lot of comments on your interview.
Some of them are rumors, but some pass on useful information.
Like the info on Dolny and his links to Ilona.
We've checked where he worked apart from the law firm.
Each year, he sits on the board of a different company. Piast?
In 2015, Invest City took over three houses in the city center.
Dolny got a job on the management board as a legal consultant.
He found alleged beneficiaries,
who were probably front men, but that's something we can't prove.
- Dolny oversaw the formalities. - One year later, the tenants were evicted
and the developer turned their flats into luxury apartments.
Dolny was long gone from the board.
- Guess who replaced him. - Ilona!
And the situation repeated with other real estate developers.
They all took over old tenement houses from front owners.
- He forged documents. - [baby cries]
He found front owners, Ilona replaced him afterwards.
She handled court cases. Formally, there was no link between them.
They got sky-high salaries for a few months.
- I knew it! I knew it! - But there's nothing we can do about it.
Everything's legal. The money and documents are clean.
I keep trying to bypass the security on his computers, e-mails, phones.
No success so far.
His social media profiles are boring. He's got a wife, two kids, a house.
And that's where it's getting interesting.
Dolny owned a posh villa.
But the villa changed ownership two weeks ago.
- Did he sell it? - He gave it away. At least on paper.
As a donation to Piotr Gołda.
Did you check that guy?
Born in 1972, so there's no record on the Net.
No profiles on social media, not even a photo.
- [Anna] Ola! - [Henryk] Ola!
Hold on, I'll be right back.
Ladies, you are detained for questioning.
Concerning what?
The murder of Daniel Serafin.
Beata, this is ridiculous.
Ladies.
You too.
You're staying here.
Can you explain to me why I'm here?
First, it needs to be established who benefited from the victim's death.
Six million divided by two is more than divided by three.
Excuse me, I was the one who kept telling you it was not suicide.
Hello, Beata!
I'm the one who helps you catch criminals, remember?
[captain] Your daughter is obstructing our investigation.
If it hadn't been for Ola, you'd still claim it was suicide.
All the clues pointed to suicide at first.
And now... what does it look like?
The rope Daniel Serafin was hanging on was tied to a hook.
There, we found the fingerprints of three people:
the deceased, your mother, and you.
- Because we fucking cut him off! - Stop swearing.
- You and Daniel are said to have argued. - What? No! It's nonsense!
- She's funny. - You think police are in this...
It's kind of awkward to meet your girlfriend in the interrogation room.
...and you didn't hesitate to make millions of people know!
She's not my girlfriend.
- A witness testified... - Then I'll go and say hello.
"He's not our family, he's an American parasite."
He's lying. Dolny is a lawyer.
Now he's shit-scared so he'll do anything to move the police away
from himself and his business.
So he's accusing Ola and me.
Why are you telling me this?
When the questioning is over, get their DNA samples.
I don't know. I just want to check it. Thanks.
Ms. Serafin?
I believe you.
So try to believe us as well.
And who are you exactly, Commissioner?
We want to solve this case.
But whatever you do or find out, we have to know it too.
Yes, of course.
Kuba Szeląg.
Aleksandra Serafin.
There. You're free to go.
I want to close this case, but your daughter and her friends...
You're making it difficult for me. They are, I mean.
Please keep your daughter away from this case.
Is that all?
Officially, you are still suspects.
So I'd appreciate it if you stayed in Łódź...
in case new questions come up.
As for your son's case...
everything was clean.
I conducted that investigation.
I did all I could.
That wasn't enough.
[Ola] No, sorry, I don't trust Szeląg.
He's simply too nice.
Daniel was killed because he refused to sell his rights to the house.
- Yes, exactly. And if I refuse now... - You'll force him to act.
He might contact Gołda and if he's the killer, we'll have a clue.
But how will we know that Dolny gets in touch with him?
His phone is better encrypted than the president's.
- You have to get into his office. - Sure, but he won't let me in.
No, the point is to get inside when he's not there.
- Not there? - You'll plant a wiretap, check his files.
All the local lawyers have lunch at the restaurant called Advocato.
All right, I'll meet him there. What's next?
- Piast bought you a gift. - A gift...
You can pick it up at the computer shop in Piotrkowska. Bye!
All right! Bye!
Hey!
[device beeps]
[Piast] This RFID duplicator works with most swipe cards.
It clones the code in three seconds.
Yeah, right. You'd better tell me where you get this spy gear from.
It's not spy gear. This stuff's all over the Internet.
- It costs like eighty złotys. - Uh-huh.
And you read about it in your book about the FBI or...
I must borrow it from you.
No, I used it to clone travel cards for my friends.
Okay, talk to you later, bye!
Good afternoon.
And why didn't you tell me about those little shits?
- I don't know what you mean. - You said you'd fallen down.
But it was the boys from the tenement house who beat you up.
They also beat up Daniel.
What if they are the ones who killed him?
I didn't want to scare you.
Tenement houses are filled with local dregs of society.
Multi-generational unemployment, learned helplessness.
Once they get council flats, the city will have control of them.
Compulsory alcohol treatment.
Why do you think so many of those people don't like me?
Why didn't they like your uncle?
I just can't make heads or tails of this. Do you really think...?
- Fuck! - I'm sorry!
- It's going to wash off. - I'm so sorry.
I'm terribly sorry.
- [device beeps] - Are you okay?
Yes! Okay, it's fine.
I won't sell you my share.
Pardon?
- My mother will, but I won't. - Why not?
Because I'm a local patriot and it belongs to my family,
and I'd like to have something to remind me of them. I won't sell it.
- Please think about it. - Goodbye!
I advise you to think about it.
Now hold the empty card next to the scanner.
Once the light turns green, the cloning is done.
All right, it's green.
- Go get them, girls. - Good luck!
Thanks.
Good evening!
[turnstile beeps]
[beeps]
This is the first time we've been here.
Oh, it's working! Goodnight!
Sorry for the inconvenience.
All right, we're in.
Shine the light on that.
Hey! I need some light here.
Hold on!
Okay. I've got the signal.
Well done, girls.
Listen, that wiretap also cost 80 złotys?
One hundred sixty. It has a built-in auto-tuner.
By the way, maybe we should draw up the budget of our organization?
The budget of what?
I'm the one spending all my pocket money.
Don't worry, Piast. We'll all chip in.
Fuck! Girls, Dolny is coming. Get out of there.
Fuck...
Girls, hurry up! He's inside.
Dorota!
Here you are.
Thanks.
- No sugar. - But I asked for tea.
Mind your manners.
How nice of you.
Lab results.
The rope, it was a good shot.
The fiber contains asbestos.
The EU banned it ten years ago.
The killer didn't buy the rope in a supermarket.
- Exactly. - What about the DNA?
Here's another good shot.
Daniel Serafin's DNA has been found only on the noose.
As if he hadn't touched the rope at all.
There's also the DNA of Ola and Anna Serafin.
- But there's a fourth person. - Who's that?
A Caucasian male.
This is the key clue in this case, eh?
All right. Let's get down to business.
Very funny.
Yeah, that's funny.
He stayed in his office until 9:00 p.m. and made only one call.
- Listen to this. - Yeah?
[Dolny] Are you guys at the airport?
Aśka, calm down, don't call me.
Let me know when you land.
I'll soon join you and we'll move on together.
Aśka is his wife, right? The bastard is trying to run away.
He's just got into his office.
[Dolny] There's an emergency at the tenement house.
No, that snotty bitch, your husband's sister.
That's Ms. Snotty Bitch to you.
Ms. Zosia, please cancel all of my appointments.
I have something urgent to handle.
He's going to meet Ilona. Shit.
Hold on.
All right! Got an idea!
[car horn honks]
Fuck!
Look how you're driving, moron!
- Great. - What's so great?
- It's not my fault! - Sure it is! It always is!
You should really see a doctor!
You're going to jail, cunt. For all that you've done.
- You'll see! - You're sick.
Like your brother and all your paranoid family!
- I'm calling the police. - I know you and Dolny killed Daniel.
I know you're trying to fucking escape.
Go ahead, call the police!
You know what?
The saddest thing is that even if you take a paranoid shit right here,
your brother will still be lying in his grave.
[Ola] What?
I won't waste my time on you.
Are you sure this is a good idea?
No, but this is the only one I have. We won't handle it on our own.
Kanchenjunga.
Wanda Rutkiewicz died there.
She did.
She did. And you?
I will climb it up and down.
And I meditate.
What about you?
Hobby? I don't have one.
I've heard you're the saddest cop in town. That's your hobby!
- Hello! Thank you. - You're welcome.
I'd like to make an official statement on the murder of Daniel Serafin.
Do you have any new information?
All right, let's go.
But we have no place to go to.
They bought a one-way ticket.
We have no extradition treaty with Argentina.
Anyway, all tax fraudsters disappear there.
[Holender] Okay. And...?
Michał, if you let him run away...
you won't ever solve this case.
And how do you know Dolny is behind it?
I don't.
But I know I can't stand another unexplained death in my family.
This is what I know.
Neither can Ola.
Hmm.
You've had enough of her?
Remember she's a very good person.
She isn't able to act in a different way.
All right. What are your demands?
That Gołda guy to whom Dolny transferred his house
is a well-known loan shark. He covers casinos.
Half of town owes him money.
Classic.
What have we got to do with that?
What if he knows something?
He got his family out. He's trying to escape. He lied to Beata.
If he leaves, we'll never find it out.
How do you know all this?
Intuition?
Don't try to piss me off.
[chuckles]
[quietly] Oi!
What?
You think I'm doing it on purpose?
- Michał! - Quiet!
Michał!
I was right from the start.
Get out of here or I'll call the support unit.
Shut up.
[Ola] Jesus Christ.
The double fisherman's knot. The same knot Daniel was hanging on.
Ola, get out! Freeze! Police!
Freeze! Police!
- [cocks gun] - [gunshot]
Freeze!
How do you know it wasn't suicide? He was in debt.
A hooded man jumped out that window and ran away.
We checked everything. No fingerprints, no sign of a fight.
You got a good tip-off. Dolny had a suitcase packed.
A classic moonlight flight.
What is she doing here?
I don't know.
[exhales]
[rock music playing]
[phone chimes]
[music stops]
Hey! Fuck, shit, nothing's here.
Texts were deleted, it's empty.
It's possible to retrieve data, but I can't do it remotely.
You have to send me that phone.
Check the latest calls.
Just a second.
Uh...
An unlisted number 57 minutes ago. Sort of a dead-end.
Oh, there are also five calls
to the number 791-972-377.
Only one of them was answered. The call lasted seven seconds.
[quietly] Fuck.
Michał, I know I shouldn't have done that.
I'm sorry. I did a terrible thing, but you know...
It's fine.
All right, Ola. How did you know Dolny was to meet Ilona today?
He got a call! He was waiting for her in the café. I saw him.
Piast, what time did Dolny get the call about the meeting?
[Piast] At 09:34:32.
It's her phone number! He called her! We've got her!
You haven't got shit.
Even if I file for the wiretap,
the court will issue a warrant in...
two weeks?
Her phone hasn't been bugged.
We'll never find out what Dolny and Ilona talked about.
Or maybe they didn't talk at all.
She didn't pick up the phone, so he might have left a message.
- The last call lasted seven seconds? - Right.
What? Piast has a book about the FBI.
"How to Become a Spy in One Weekend."
Okay, Piast, what have you got there?
Michał, could you get us the police files on the murder of Ola's brother?
I'll ask the archive people to get them ready.
I must go back, collect the clues.
Thanks, Michał.
You're welcome.
[door closes]
[man] To change the password to your voicemail,
I'll need to verify your identity.
Please state your first name, surname, and the number of your ID card.
Ilona Serafin, AZW 331617.
That's correct.
Please state your mother's surname and your father's first name.
- Smolińska, Maciej. - Smolińska, Maciej.
Thank you. That's correct.
Your password is now changed.
Shall I put you through to your voicemail?
Yes, please.
[automated voice] You have one voice message.
[man] I talked to the lawyer. It's fixed. Gotta disappear. Call me back.
No, no, listen! That's not Dolny.
That's the guy Ilona hired to hit him.
I have no access to the phone records. I can't check it right now.
Play it again. More slowly.
[slowed down] I talked to the lawyer. It's fixed. Gotta disappear.
Wait, wait! Turn up the background and turn down his voice.
[bells ringing in background]
- I know those bells. - What do you mean?
Hold on. I know those bells, I really do.
It must be someone from the tenement house!
IT'S SOMEONE FROM THE TENEMENT HOUSE
The boss wants to speak to you, sir.
Mucha.
Mucha!
- The left leg. - Sorry?
He was wounded in his left leg.
- Why am I talking to you? - Because I'm standing here.
Jesus Christ, hurry up.
Are you going away, huh?
[gasping]
Let go of her!
For fuck's sake, do it!
Michał.
[sirens wailing in distance]
[siren approaching]
I'll do it alone! Alone! Alone!
[officer] Police! Surrender! You stand no chance!
Surrender!
[gunshot]
Michał. Can you hear me?
Michał, can you...?
Michał, can you hear me?
Michał, please, hang on.
Just a little bit.
Beata, come on!
Hang on just a little bit longer.
[captain] The DNA from the rope that Daniel Serafin was killed with
is a 100 percent match with your profile.
The boot print from the crime scene matches yours.
The same rope Dolny was hanged on was found in your bag.
You killed my best man.
You'd fucking better start talking.
[Kuba] Boss, that's enough.
[Baeta] After a tour in Iraq, you were discharged from the army
with a certificate of disability and violence resulting from PTSD.
Unemployed, you lost paternity rights to your daughter.
Did you kill because you needed money to support Zosia?
[captain] If you don't start talking, you'll never see your daughter again!
Who did you fucking work for?
[Baeta] Who is Ilona Serafin to you?
[Mucha] I don't know her.
- The case is over. It's clean now. - [woman] Are you sure?
They won't press charges against me.
Mucha refuses to testify. They have no clear proof.
- It can't happen again. - Yes, I know.
We'll give up on that tenement house for now. It stinks too much.
- Okay. - Stay low for a while. I'll call you.
