Sit.

Greger wants

the case shut down.

He doesn't like your

methods with Kozlov's parents.

Planting the dope

was a dumb idea, Tadek.

You don't play

Greger's game well.

That's why he's

the chief and you're not.

Don't disappoint me.

You're the last honest

cop in Poland.

The moment you took Greger on,

you were f***ed.

You're too old school.

Greger's as empty

and hard as glass.

You want to f*** Greger over?

Officially, don't work on

this anymore. You're history.

Keep the files. Work on it

remotely. I know he's guilty.

Just prove it.

- Adam.

- Tadek.

You want to know the worst

part of my job?

Envy.

People see me as a chance to screw

over someone more powerful.

Like those whores who drive

up to the big houses.

You know the ones?

Big metal gates and those beautiful

girls who drive right on through.

I swear they'll do

anything for money.

Always the same.

Communists, capitalists.

But you get too close...

No ghosts, Tadek.

Stay safe.

I'll go.

- What are you doing here?

- Please help me.

Someone's watching

our apartment.

- Did you see who?

- No.

Come. Come in.

I'm going to drive them home.

Make sure she's safe.

Who is she, Tadek?

She's Kozlov's girlfriend.

He's been threatening her.

You take one more step

and I'm out.

Come.

Nobody's here.

You can come.

Krystof doesn't know you

were here the other night.

I never feel safe.

Hurt me.

Hurt me.

Hurt me.

Hurt me.

Victor? The door.

- You asked to see me?

- Yes.

I killed Daniel Sadowski.

I'll need you

to sign a statement.

Why?

You just told me you

killed Daniel Sadowski.

I'll write it down.

You can sign it.

I feel sick. I need a doctor.

Sign and I'll get you

a doctor.

You put something

in the water.

Sign the statement!

You raped her. Hmm.

Let him go.

Stop! Stop!

Don't! Don't!

Shut up! Quiet!

Quiet, b*tch!

No. Don't!

Say it. Say it! Say it. Say it.

Hurt me. Hurt me! Hurt me!

Yes?

Open the door.

Oh. I'm sorry.

I was, er..

You want..

you want some coffee?

Talk.

Talk.

What do you want me to say?

How old is Hanna? Eight?

You have an eight year old

daughter and you're a drug addict.

I can have her taken away.

Is that all you can do?

Threaten me?

Talk to me.

You know Greger. You knew

Sadowski. You f***ed him.

Yes, I did. I f***ed him. He paid me.

I f***ed him because he paid me.

And Kozlov knew about it.

You're the girl

in the inner room.

Alicja is your story.

You talked, he wrote it down.

- He loved me.

- He didn't love you.

He did. He loved me.

You drove him mad. He strangled a

man and dumped him in the river.

You talk about Sadowski as

if he was a saint. He wasn't.

He deserves justice.

You want justice?

You saw the marks. You saw

what they did to me every day.

This is what they made me.

In my head is where

they rape me. Forever.

Is that part of the show?

I can't tell anymore.

You're going to sign a statement. You

do that, you keep the girl. Come on.

Sit down.

I've brought it for you.

You see?

Here we go.

I even brought you a pen.

We'll do it together.

Pick up the pen. Pick it up!

You know how to sign

your name, don't you? Do it.

Let me go.

I haven't done anything,

you piece of sh*t.

Aaah!

F***!

- Kasia said that?

- Yes.

I love her.

The things he did to her.

How could you let him do those

things and get away with it?

- Right.

- Right.

And that's the story.

That's the story.

You think?

I know.

Victor.

I'll get it.

That's good.

You know this

changes nothing.

You get rid of me, who cares?

We used to get rid

of people from Solidarity.

They still won.

I'll tell you what this is.

Envy.

Hmm.

I've heard this story.

Obviously I can't comment

on any individual officer

while investigations

are still pending.

Is it true Greger resigned?

Mr. Greger needs time

to answer the allegations

made against him by Kozlov

and other witnesses.

And for the sake of the police force, to

which he has devoted his professional life,

he has taken

the decision to step down.

Are you

his permanent replacement?

I'm an ex-Communist,

nothing in life is permanent.

You should see this. Sir.

Excuse me sir,

where are you going?

Sir?

Sir, you can't go down there.

Sir?

I need to talk to you.

What do you want?

We've charged the wrong man.

Kozlov signed the confession.

Koslov is mad.

Did that worry you before?

Kozlov was abroad

when Sadowski was murdered.

He came back the day after!

And you didn't check it?

He was a very

compelling suspect.

Jesus f***ing Christ.

If Kozlov is not guilty...

You think I am going to lose everything I

worked for so you can change your mind?

I don't give a sh*t who you paid,

who you f***ed, who you lied to.

This is the story now.

Piotr, this is not justice!

F*** justice! Were you thinking about justice

when you screwed Kozlov's girlfriend?

You want me to tell

your family about that?

You want me

to tell your daughter?

You think that case just

landed on your desk by accident?

I gave it to you,

you arrogant f***.

Victor works for me.

Oh, and I had you followed.

See, people don't want justice.

They want good and evil.

Big, bright stories told with conviction.

That's what we do. That's what you did.

You wrote the big, bright story,

told with conviction. Well done.

I am the Chief of Police now.

Now f*** off

out of my sunshine.

When did he leave?

After you were here.

Any idea where he went?

Hmm-mm.

Are you finished?

I'll be home soon.

You be a good girl. I know you

will, at school, with mama. Okay?

Time is over.

Bye.

You lied.

About killing Sadowski.

No.

You weren't even there

when the murder happened.

What makes you think

the murder even happened here?

The river has an end...

and a beginning.

F***!!!

It'll be on later tonight.

Fine.

No. No. No. No.

The implications of the direction

of the euro remain to be seen.

Now, an update

on the Kozlov case.

Missing papers given

to the press by a source

close to the investigation

reveal that Krystof Kozlov,

the main suspect in the

murder of Daniel Sadowski,

was actually out of the country

on the night of his murder.

The authorities have yet

to issue a statement,

but Kozlov's lawyer has already

recorded a miscarriage of justice.

The controversy surrounding the

brutal murder of Daniel Sadowski

has taken a new turn.

Documents supplied to...

What do you want?

Let me in. Please.

I have nothing

to say to you.

I did what you wanted me

to do, now leave me alone.

I was wrong.

I made a mistake.

And I was wrong to hurt you.

I'm sorry.

Where are the others?

They'll come later.

I've got to know

what Sadowski did to you.

You want to hear the truth?

It's all I have left.

You can look into your lover's eyes all your

life and never know what they truly think.

The truth is, Sadowski

was a sadist. The worst by far.

Sometimes he...

he liked me to play dead,

then he'd rape me.

I took drugs.

Enough, you know,

to just, to numb it.
