[Ola] Michal.
Beata, come on!
[Ola sighs]
I knew I'd find you here.
I just delivered a passenger.
I'm taking a short break.
You should get some rest.
I'm not tired at all.
[door opens]
Two days after your father died, I started going to aerobics.
And for three months, I didn't miss a single class.
Why are you telling me this?
Because back then, I also thought...
one could live in such despair
and pretend it was fine.
- But you have to collapse. - Mum, please.
Yes, you have to drop on your knees. You have to break down.
Then, you'll rise again.
- [phone rings] - [car horn honks in app]
I have a customer.
Home, please.
[sighs]
[theme song plays]
[man] It's surprisingly spacious.
Like a magical tent.
It looks tiny on the outside, but inside...
[dance-pop playing on radio]
Hey, you only pretend you don't know me, eh?
I don't.
I'm sure you know this one. "Mega Tick." It was a hit.
I'm Mega Tick! Today we're scaring people in the park.

Quiet.
- [man muttering on phone] - [woman screams]
[grunting]
[exclaiming]
[clamoring continues on phone]
I think I know you from a fan meet-up.
- What? - A fan meet-up.
Take a look.
See?
Look.
Listen, does your mum know you're hanging out alone at night?
[crowd laughing, chattering]
Hi, I'm here.
Yes, I know.
Is that guy going to collaborate with us?
Okay, just hurry up, will you?
Yeah, I'm waiting for you here, bye!
The annual Influencer Conference would be incomplete
without representatives of the fashion world.
Please welcome Muffinka. How are you?
- What have you prepared for this year? - Sorry, you've got the wrong twin!
[train whistle blowing]
[train clanging]
[woman] It's Stefek's car!
Man, you've gone too far.
[man] Stefek is a showman. There's even a train.
[woman] Oi, Stefek! It's not funny.
[woman gasps]
Jesus.
- [man 1] Look, he's not moving. - [man 2] It was a real accident!
[phones beeping, shutters snapping]
Ola, what are you doing here?
[man] Stefek, that's awesome, we've got it!
That's how legends are made, Stefek!
He just stayed there.
I kept giving signals, but he didn't react.
- I tried to brake, but... - All right, thank you.
Ah, Pawlowski, take his statement.
- [Beata] What have we got here? - [Kuba] An ambulance is coming.
Oddly, there's no blood, considering he was hit by a train.
He's as cold as ice.
Yet it's warm today.
Monika.
Can you take photos of that bottle, please?
Close-ups, okay?
What now?
[Beata] We have to wait for the prosecutor.
Pawlowski! Handle onlookers, will you?
- Haven't you had enough? - I delivered a passenger!
You can't be here.
- You're restless, I know... - You don't know shit! You don't know shit!
Look, if you wanna talk, just call me.
You done? Move over here and help me!
And you, Pawlowski, get out!
POLICE
That's it, my dears. We don't know what happened.
It seems that Stefek,
known as the greatest prankster of the Polish Internet,
was the victim of his own joke.
A truly lethal joke.
Hey, how are you holding up?
[Dorota] Ola.
You know you can always talk to us about it.
[Regina] We're not going to cheer you up.
But if you want to let it out...
Share it with us.
I'm wondering...
why was he so blue?
As if frozen to death.
- Oh, you mean Stefek, from the car? - Yes.
So it wasn't an accident?
[woman laughs in distance]
I found these in Stefek's car.
It's not there.
What do you mean by that?
All the recordings are gone as if the drive had been wiped.
Hey, look.
Does anyone else have access to this room apart from you?
Only the second-shift guard.
[man] Here's your friend.
We're taking it!
And?
Oh, my God.
Fuck.
It's the same!
You must be a total nut to lock up a person in a cold room.
Look, there are cameras!
- So there might be some recordings. - The server was wiped.
He didn't die on the rails, but in the cold room!
He was blue because he'd frozen to death.
Do you know Article 225 of the Penal Code?
Yeah, we do.
Are you doing this on purpose?
Does it give you some sick satisfaction?
After what happened, you're telling me how I'm to conduct my damn investigation?
Hey, it's not her fault.
Call forensics. There are a few fingerprints to collect.
[Kraszewski] Are they all suspects?
CCTV recordings magically disappeared.
No evidence, no witnesses.
- The autopsy results? - We're waiting.
The fingerprints and DNA make it clear he died in the cold room.
Half of them will admit to anything just to go to the police station.
What a sick world we live in.
Is there anyone who can get anything out of them?
The twin sisters from the cold room.
Sorry?
Someone was in the cold room?
Serafin.
And the Polanska sisters of Ultraviolet.
They have a YouTube channel.
Boss, I know you told us not to collaborate with them, but...
That is the only option we've got.
Do not collaborate. Interrogate them as witnesses.
And close this case as fast as possible.
Help Beata with the cases she worked on with Michal.
[dance music playing on radio]
No! I'm sorry, I just can't stand it any longer.
What is this?
A sex tape, or what?
What's your point, lady, eh?
Why don't you shoot it, put it online, and wait for likes?
- You're being rude. - Rude? Me?
And you have no shame!
[passengers laughing]
Okay, pull over, please.
Here you go.
- Let's get out of here. - Come on.
- Goodbye. - Yeah, see you.
[woman] See you!
[car door closes]
[phone buzzes]
Hi, Tomek!
Sorry, he keeps wriggling free.
I see there are more YouTubers than viewers.
- True! - What's that computer for?
The server of the hotel security was wiped out from the outside.
There are no traces of breaking in.
Police forensics couldn't handle it.
So I thought I'd try to come up with the same result.
- How did you find out about the computer? - Inspector Kuba Szelag called us.
Officially, we're witnesses.
Unofficially, we must help them because we know that world.
Besides, they know how good we are, right?
Girls, show us what you found.
Hi!
Open up! Open the door!
Stefek!
So?
Nah, we just had a deal with Stefek.
- Everything was staged. - Like all our videos afterwards.
It wasn't war, but cooperation.
People got excited and waited for our reactions.
With each new video, the ratings went up like a rocket.
[imitates rocket sounds]
Jesus. Stefek.
- Without Stefek, we're screwed. - Jerzyk!
Our user base...
Was built on that war.
Can you hear what you're actually saying?
A man died, but all you care about is your popularity.
Okay, who do you think might have benefited from his death?
Maybe Jan?
Stefek tried to take over some of his clients.
- Jan who? - Bednarek.
- The owner of Comeone Tube. - Of what?
It's a channel.
[Regina] Comeone Tube is a network of influencers.
They negotiate advertising and sponsoring rates.
They hold conferences. They've organized this one as well.
Why do you ask?
[Beata] Apparently, Stefek took over their clients.
Yes, a lot of people moved to the company he set up.
- What about you two? - We didn't.
But Jan was furious anyway. He lost many key players.
T-shirt, anyone?
We're doing a minute of silence tonight.
- This one costs twenty zlotys. - No, thank you.
I prefer the fucking police mourning and pretending nothing happened.
Thanks!
[phone chimes]
RUDE, BOORISH. SHE OFFENDED US!
This is my third one-star rating! Fuck.
Rude. You are rude yourself.
I should have thought about it before. It's obvious!
Stefek took over Jan's clients.
- That creep had a motive! - It's not Jan.
You two split up, he hurt you. Stop defending him.
And you stop accusing him of all the evil in the world.
Muffinka! Can we...
- Sure! - Thank you!
I have an idea of how to track the killer.
- Did someone try to burn him? - [exhales] That's what it looks like.
Before he got into the cold room,
he received burns of a chemical or thermal nature.
His breastbone was broken.
But the direct cause of death was bradycardia.
A cardiac arrest.
Plus electrolyte imbalance.
[clicks tongue] And here, things don't make sense anymore.
We found no trace of intoxicating substances in his blood.
Listen up. During that time, there were a lot of rides in the area.
Someone might have seen or recorded something.
Dash cameras are popular now.
It might help us find a witness.
Exactly. Or a photo of the killer.
[child babbling]
Piast, what about the computer?
My sister's pulling pranks.
Are you trying to say these are not your magnets?
[stilted laugh] Very funny.
What might have deleted the data?
I don't know yet. He was a genius,
or he did something so stupid that I can't guess what it was.
What about your agent, Jan?
Kuba confirmed his alibi. He's innocent.
[man] Help! Help me!
[clamoring continues outside window]
[yells]
He was a strong man.
How did someone manage to batter and burn him?
[electronic chirping]
And why didn't he die because of hypothermia or battery,
but bradycardia?
I couldn't say with absolute certainty.
He most probably died a few hours before you found him.
Hmm.
All right, thanks.
[Ola] The receptionist says there were shouts coming from this room.
Take a look.
It's Alex Fantastix. He's a prankster.
Stefek was his role model. He was the second most popular.
[Kuba] What's this?
Well, it might happen again.
YOU THOUGHT STEFEK WAS THE LAST ONE?
Please, go now.
Secure that, please.
- What's this? - A black calla lily.
A flower. Very rare.
- How do you know that? - I like flowers.
My mum was a florist.
You can find it in only one spot in Lodz.
[vehicle approaching]
CLICK ME!
[officer] Clear!
[dance music playing on computer speakers]
[man in red exclaiming]
[laughing]
Lamers!
Hello, boss?
Get out of there right now! He's fucking with us.
Fuck.
Let's get out of here.
What are we going to do with them?
They staged an abduction. Nobody got hurt.
It's a free country!
[phone beeps]
STILL DON'T WANT TO TALK. BUT HERE'S A LINK TO A POSSIBLE KILLER.
All the drivers say it was an extremely boring night.
Nobody saw anything interesting.
But one colleague had a passenger
who told him to show up precisely at the back of the hotel.
He was excited and in a hurry.
What time was it?
Right before the accident on the rails.
Theoretically, it's possible.
If he'd run, he could have returned to the hotel before the train hit the car.
[Henryk] Here, he'd have taken a short cut.
Here and here.
- Thanks, Henio. - No problem. Nice to be useful.
Bravo!
Do you have an obsession or what?
Come in.
Ola!
What is it again?
That colleague of yours...
Can he confirm this is the guy he gave a ride to?
Maybe he let someone else use his account? Or it was hacked?
Okay, send it to me.
[beep]
No, this isn't the guy. He gave a ride to someone else.
Can you check Bednarek's photo in your application?
All right.
Bye!
So the agent and his alibi friend are lying?
Just as I thought.
[silently] Fuck!
One, two.
Holy shit, we're about to start!
All right. And now?
One, two. Nothing.
Okay. And now?
One, two. Nothing.
Oh, Mr. and Ms. Police!
But you're too early. The conference starts in one hour.
[feedback whines]
We're not here for the conference.
Can you say a few words?
Yes. I'm arresting you on suspicion of murdering Stefan Kniaznin.
- Is this a joke? - On the night of the crime,
you ordered a taxi, using the account of your alleged client.
Why else go to so much trouble to cover your tracks?
Let's go!
Excuse me! Step aside!
Step aside, please.
Excuse me.
Sorry, excuse me.
Hey!
Regina, you have no idea what just happened.
What's the matter?
Kuba has just arrested Jan.
Because he's the guy who ran away from the hotel that night.
Regina wants to tell us something.
Or she'd rather tell the police.
You spent that night at the hotel.
- The driver will confirm it. - Your statement was false.
- You know what a circumstantial trial is? - No.
You're gonna get a few years.
You know everything, what else do you want me to tell you?
We have guests.
That night, Jan was coming from a date with me.
He was with me at the hotel.
He knows the owner, and we booked a room incognito.
We'd had an affair.
It had been going on for a while.
Then his wife found out.
And she threatened to divorce him.
- Regina... - He is...
He wanted to meet me to clear the air
before everyone arrived.
And that's how things turned out.
That is, meeting an alleged client and using his account for the ride.
He wasn't trying to cover the murder, but the meeting with me.
So his wife wouldn't find out.
I'd like to see you in my office.
"I'm meeting a potential sponsor of our channel."
After everything he did to you!
Dorota, come on! It's so easy to say.
- Ola, please. - So you've never been in love?
Every time Kamil cheated on me, I thought it was the last time.
I believed him. "Darling, I'm so sorry. I'll never do it again."
I'm telling you, every single time.
At some point, I even thought it was all my fault
since he kept finding some other girl.
Exactly. I'm the other girl, and he kept going back to his wife.
Because it's safe, Regina. Get it?
Slippers, dinner, let's not ruin what's between us.
This is a very safe situation.
There, enough.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry too.
Jesus, why are all the nice guys taken?
Or dead.
- What a corny joke! - So corny.
Nah, Michal would laugh at it.
- Not so sure. - Seriously, he would!
- Hi, Piast! - Is everything okay?
Yep. Shoot. Tell us.
I think I've got it.
Do you remember those strange marks on the case of the security's computer?
I thought about it for a long time.
I started to analyze it from a different angle.
I looked for devices that sent a strong electric impulse,
and were really small at the same time.
Piast, get to the point.
A defibrillator. An AED.
I borrowed it from my uni.
I never thought my Health and Safety at Work course would come in handy.
An AED deletes the system in a few seconds.
And the best thing.
Bang! It leaves beautiful marks.
Plus, every hotel is equipped with such a device.
I don't care who put it online!
I just want it to disappear forever. Understood?
I don't give a shit that it might get uploaded on Comeone Tube.
It must be handled! Fuck.
Next time, think twice before you arrest anyone
or call in an anti-terrorist team.
What are we gonna do now? Any ideas?
- That's what we're working on. - So keep doing that.
I told you not to ventilate!
Everyone's fucking deaf.
Every hotel is equipped with an AED, eh?
It must be somewhere here. There!
- Hello! - Sir, where can we find an AED?
- Someone feels bad again? - "Again"?
There was a couple running down the hallway recently with the AED.
Uh-huh.
Where is it now?
They probably brought it back to the kitchen.
You mustn't go in there!
The police got everyone out.
[sighs] Sweet Jesus.
[Beata] What could leave such marks on the body?
[Kuba] No idea.
Oh, there it is!
I know you've had enough of us.
What if the marks were caused by CPR?
Maybe someone tried to save his life.
Actually, he died from a cardiac arrest.
In the cold room, he went into thermal shock and fainted.
They got scared and tried to help him.
Hence the torture-like injuries. They failed to do it right.
- "They"? - Jerzyk and Marina! We told you.
Yes, their war was staged. Both parties would have gained a lot.
But they screwed up.
There are traces of a fight in the cold room. He tried to get out.
- If it was staged... - They thought he was only joking.
It makes sense.
It does.
I thought we were cleared already. What's all this for?
Was it a prank that failed?
I don't know what you mean.
I think you do.
You have 30 minutes before we get the analysis of your fingerprints.
If you cooperate, you might receive a lighter sentence.
We have thirty minutes before we get the analysis of your fingerprints.
What fingerprints?
I did it alone.
Jerzyk had no idea what was going on.
She had nothing to do with that.
It was a... It was a new video. A kind of surprise.
But it failed!
He suddenly started banging on the door.
I thought he was clowning around, but he collapsed.
[sniffles] He was already dead.
I got scared and tried to...
I put him in the car and poured vodka over him.
I thought it would look like he was arriving drunk from the conference.
I tried to save him, so I took the AED.
Then I ran upstairs to divert the guard's attention...
and I defibrillated the main computer to get rid of the recordings.
I didn't want to kill him.
You diverted his attention,
and at the same time, sneaked into the guard's room to take the AED?
So you diverted his attention,
and at the same time, you sneaked into the guard's room?
Correct?
Jerzyk has nothing to do with that.
Correct?
You think I'm fucking stupid?
Marina had nothing to do with that.
You have 30 fucking minutes, understood?
[door closes]
[knocking at door]
We finished questioning that couple.
Just thought you might want to know.
For involuntary manslaughter and the whole setup with the rails,
maybe five years.
Thanks.
Michal was right.
You are good.
You didn't go to the funeral.
I'm kind of bored with funerals.
Thanks.
You look spectacular.
Thank you.
No, thank you.
If it hadn't been for you, they might have locked me up.
You would have got out of it.
You were innocent, after all.
But, darling...
You were ready to go to jail,
so that your wife wouldn't find out you spent the night with me.
- Regina, it's very complicated. - No.
It's very simple.
You're never going to leave her.
FRIENDS FROM UV
[birdsong]
[birds cawing]
[animals chittering]
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
[sobbing]
I'm so sorry.
Holender would be so surprised if he saw us now.
He'd scold us like little girls.
He'd say...
"Beata, you got so drunk in the middle of the day.
That's way over the top."
He'd add, "Beata, in a public place?
In a public place? I'm taking you to the station!"
Just don't get the idea we're friends now.
No. It never crossed my mind. Commissioner Misiak, don't worry.
Because you know...
Civilians at the crime scene still piss me off.
And police women with a stick up their asses piss me off as well.
- Like, I have a stick up my ass? - You do, Beata. You're a little uptight.
- Uptight? - A little, yes.
Okay.
Fine.
Take a look!
Beata?
You're nuts! Totally nuts!
