a hearing will take place

which will decide whether to reopen

the case of the contract killer

and tireless fugitive Jiri Kajinek.

However, nobody has ever succeeded

in reopening a murder case.

Will the ambitious attorney

Klara Pokorova succeed?

- How do you see your chances?

- Step back, please.

Ms. Pokorova, why did you

decide to defend Jiri Kajinek?

Mr. Kajinek deserves a fair trial

just like any citizen.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

The Court will now hear

the motion

to reopen the case

of the defendant Jiri Kajinek.

I'd like to ask Ms. Pokorova

to stipulate

whether she wants

her motion to go forward.

Ms. Pokorova...

Ms. Pokorova, your turn.

The police got the cigarette butts

allegedly belonging to the shooter.

My client, however, doesn't smoke.

Why did they mysteriously disappear?

Vlasta Klempar swore that

Kajinek was shooting from one spot.

However, the police

didn't do a re-enactment

which would prove that the angles

of the shots don't match the claim.

The police didn't even secure

the prints at the scene.

We have a witness who told Klempar

that there was more than one shooter.

Why wasn't Vlasta Klempar

shot in the head

like his brother and Mr. Perner?

Was he meant to survive to testify?

I n a new trial we will establish

that the case was manipulated

and a big part was played

by the police force itself.

Mr. Lejko, what happened

after you arrived at the scene?

Vlasta Klempar became

conscious again for a minute...

I asked him who was shooting

and he said:

"F*** it,

I'll get that cop myself."

It's new evidence showing the cops

are connected to the murder.

Quiet, or I will clear

the courtroom.

Do you have any more questions

for the witness?

No, I don't. Thank you.

Mr. District Attorney,

your witness, please.

Mr. Lejko, you're not

on the police force anymore, are you?

No.

Because you were being prosecuted?

Yes.

- So you have a beef with the police.

- Objection.

Leading the witness.

Stick to the point, please.

I wanted to point out a possible

motivation of the witness.

Thank you.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Let's go, Kristianek.

I have one more question.

Will you confirm your testimony

in which you said

that Mr. Perner and your brother

were killed by Mr. Jiri Kajinek?

I refuse to answer.

Just confirm your testimony.

Just say yes or no.

I refuse to answer.

Are you related

to the plaintiff

or do you have any other lawful

reason not to testify?

Your inmate David Polivka

a. K.a. Bouillon described

what you told him

when you shared a cell.

See the video recording

I presented to the court.

You told him that Mr. Kajinek

was never at the crime scene.

- I refuse to answer.

- Please let the record show:

The witness refused to answer.

You can leave now.

The new findings are so essential

that we cannot ignore them.

Mr. Jiri Kajinek was sentenced

on the basis of testimony

the witness against the plaintiff,

Mr. Klempar, wouldn't confirm today.

It's crucial to reopen the case

and properly investigate it.

Ms. Pokorova, do you have any more

witnesses to call to the stand?

No.

- Do you have any other evidence?

- No, I don't. Thank you.

The Court will now retire

to consult.

At 3 PM we will recess

to determine the verdict.

You can't wash the dirt.

What do you want?

Did you forget about our deal?

Besides, you can't keep that

young b*tch away from Kajinek.

It might not be a good move.

Hey, don't talk about her like that.

I'm sorry.

Explain to her that

Kajinek's case is closed

or your partner will get

a small lesson.

- Or a bigger one?

- Are you threatening me?

I'm glad we understand each other.

- You might be underestimating me.

- You think so?

We'll see because now you have

a problem. A big problem.

And your ingenue too.

Try to go against me and

you'll have a big problem too.

- Done?

- Done.

Let's go so we don't miss anything.

The Court has made

a determination:

The motion to reopen

Jiri Kajinek's case...

is denied.

The Court bases the decision

on the lack of credible new evidence.

The plaintiff's witness

didn't convince the Court

of the necessity to reopen the case.

I'm sorry but if the courts

continually spend time

reopening decided cases

based on the testimonies

of other criminals,

they would do nothing else.

What do you want from me?

You know what. That thing you've

had under the bed all this time.

Forget about my testifying

against Novotny.

He's the one who messed up your life.

You have to make up your mind.

You'll either keep your mouth shut

or will talk, but about everything.

What I have on you would

put you away for 8 years.

So make a choice:

Me or Novotny?

How can something like this happen?

You had to count in

this possibility.

Oh come on. It was a joke.

But you will show them. I have

interesting information for you.

- About the case?

- That's right, but not on the phone.

See you soon...

We met here today to say goodbye

to Honza Dolezal...

- My condolences.

- Thank you.

Hello. I'm sorry about what

happened to Mr. Dolezal.

- My condolences.

- Thank you.

Kristianek, go play by the pond.

Mr. Novotny...

Some die a natural death,

some aren't that lucky.

- I'm sorry...

- It's okay.

You know this was not

an ordinary accident.

What do you mean?

This accident is called Lejko.

- Why would he do it for gos sake?

- Well, I asked around a bit.

Lejko is under police surveillance

because of another crime.

Honza went to see him after court.

I guess he wanted to help you.

I know Honza was...

It's all just words, words, words.

By the way, that deal

is still on the table.

If he admits that Lejko

was shooting too

then he will be out in a couple

of years. Unlike the other one.

Well, I have to go now.

Kristianek, let's go.

Mommy would be upset if

we came late, right?

- So say goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

You're all f***ing Nazis.

Give me one reason why I can't

give him the strudel.

- It's my damn husband.

- Food is not allowed.

You think I'm smuggling a nail file,

you idiot? Go head, check it.

- Leave.

- You f***ing d*ckheads.

Did anyone hurt you?

You could put it that way.

Honza... Dolezal is dead.

That's why you're so devastated?

I loved him.

We lived together.

If you'd known that, I'd never

have convinced you, would I?

The chances to reopen the case

are close to none.

I know.

But there is one thing we could do.

What's different is that the one

you'd accuse also killed Honza.

Bullshit.

You will be out in two years

and Lejko will get twenty.

- How do you know Lejko killed him?

- I just do.

- But he is still free.

- That's life, unfortunately.

You have nothing to lose,

and everything to gain.

I got Honza involved. They killed

him because of me. And you!

- So you have to help me now.

- How? By pleading guilty?

It won't bring anyone back to life

and I 'll always regret it.

I did all kinds of bad sh*t,

I stole but I have my principles.
