-[upbeat music playing] -[Gizmo gulping]
-Oh God. -[chuckling]
Yo, Sebastian, you're a cool guy, you know that?
Not some fucking bum, right?
-Right! [chuckles] -[Maciuś] You're awesome.
Hey, Gizmo.
Tell me.
Have you ever flown?
-[chuckles] No. -[chuckles] Would you like to fly?
-[Gizmo] Uh… -[Maciuś coughs] Huh?
No, no, no, no, no. Are you fucking nuts?
-Maybe it'll unscramble his brain, guys. -[Jarecki] Maybe it'll turn you around.
[Maciuś] It might unscramble his brain, and he might finally be fucking normal.
-[chuckles] -[Maciuś] Fuck.
[Jarecki] Dammit, man. Come on!
[upbeat music continues]
[Maciuś] Here. Drink up, bro. Drink it down.
[gulping]
-[Maciuś] Come on, come on. -[Jarecki] Come on, don't.
[Maciuś] What the fuck? You're not joking around.
Dude, you were fucking thirsty, huh?
Holy fuck, man.
-You're gonna fucking fly. [laughs] -[Marek] Great.
[Maciuś laughs]
[pensive music playing]
[faint breathing]
[pensive music continues]
[faint breathing continues]
[Daria] Oh fuck.
Are you fucking nuts?
Seba?
[faint splashing]
Sebastian, let's go. Come on.
All of you are fucking mental!

WELCOME TO ZYBORK
[dramatic whooshing]
[water dripping]
[breathing heavily]
[bats screeching]
[water dripping continues]
We went the wrong way.
She's here somewhere.
I know it.
I feel her presence.
[grunting]
-[fox] I don't think it's here. -[grunts]
[pensive music continues]
-[distant howling] -[birds squawking]
Our responsibility is much greater.
You're not quite strong enough.
Not just yet.
[deer gruffs]
[distant squawks]
[branch crunches]
-[woman] Boy. -Huh?
[Gizmo grunts]
[woman] The vixen is right.
Oh dear, nothing good awaits you if you venture over there.
[armor creeks]
There are some ghouls lurking around.
They certainly possess a great deal of more strength than you do, my dear.
Maybe, but she's my sister.
I won't abandon her.
[fox] Please explain to him, my lady.
He's got a good heart,
but it's the heart of a fool.
[grunts]
[woman] Oh no!
No, he simply must do what he believes is the right thing. Bless his heart.
-[chuckles] -[water bubbling]
[loud screech]
-[woman chuckling] -[Gizmo grunting]
[dramatic music playing]
[woman laughing]
[distant laughing]
Quiet. I can hear them.
[Jarecki echoing] The king. The king.
[fox] Don't go there, sir!
Come on, just wait!
-[indistinct whispers] -[laughing]
-[Maciuś] You think you're a smart-ass? -[Marek] It's a bad idea.
[Jarecki] I'm the king.
-[Marek] What are you doing? -[Jarecki] I'm the lizard king. [laughing]
[Jarecki] She's not moving.
-[Marek] You hit her too fucking hard! -[Maciuś] She's pretending.
-[gasps] Leave her alone! -[Jarecki] What the fuck?
-[squealing] -[Gizmo grunts]
Leave her alone!
Check it out. It's the dummy.
What's that fucking idiot doing here?
-[laughing continues] -[Gizmo grunts]
[Gizmo yells]
[fox] There's nothing I can do.
[laughing continues]
[dramatic music continues]
[grunting]
[laughing continues]
[grunts]
Leave her alone!
Daria!
There’s nothing I can do. My powers don’t work here.
[groans]
[Gizmo grunting]
[shrieks]
[grunts]
Leave her alone!
[groaning]
[Maciuś] It's too late anyway, you stupid fake knight.
You won't be a hero tonight!
[Jarecki] You won't save nothing and nobody!
You're completely powerless, you fool!
-[Gizmo] Daria! -[dramatic music continues]
No!

I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOU'RE ALIVE

-[phone locks] -[sighs]
[window shuts, locks]
[Grzesiek] You're up already?
Coffee?
[Justyna] Mm-hmm.
[Justyna sighs]
I have no fucking idea where the fuck he could be.
[sighs, sniffles]
He's not texting back, not picking up his phone.
[Grzesiek] I'm worried too.
[inhales]
You think he could've left Zybork?
Mmm, maybe.
-Fuck. -Maybe not.
[pensive music playing]
Something I should know about?
There is this one place.
We can go check it out.
[pensive music continues]
[music halts abruptly]
Hello, Prince Charming. Are we disturbing you?
What the fuck are you doing in here?
[bag crinkles]
-Was my brother here? -[Rymek] Go fuck yourself.
-I fucking asked you. Was he here or not? -[Rymek] Let go of me.
-[Rymek] Dude! -[Grzesiek] Don't fucking dude me.
-Do you think I'm fucking stupid? -Grzesiek, what the fuck?
Let go, all right?
Jesus, man.
He was here, okay?
Yesterday.
-Sold him something? -Two grams of heroin.
[sighs]
You're a fucking piece of shit, man.
What? You didn't say not to sell to him.
Plus, two grams is, like, kiddie stuff.
What the fuck did you say?
What the fuck did you just say?
Is this fucking funny to you, you fucking junkie?
I'm gonna fucking kill you all!
Fuck!
[grunts]
-[item clanking] -[Rymek] Fuck.
What an asshole!
[breathing heavily]
Fuck!
He promised me.
He promised me, do you understand?
Five fucking years of sacrifice.
Five years of wiping his ass.
Everything I've done for five years was for Mikołaj.
[Grzesiek] But isn't it, like, beyond his control?
[groans] "I'm clean, Justyna. I fucked up again."
"I'm fucking clean again. This is my new fucking life, Justyna."
"I'm sorry for treating you like shit every morning, noon, and night
fucking day in and out."
"Do you know what, Justyna? I'm going through withdrawal,
and I feel terrible about that, Justyna."
"Of course, Mikołaj!"
"You burnt the scrambled eggs, so throw away the pan!"
"No worries. I fucking love you to the moon and back!"
-Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. -[Justyna sobbing]
[dramatic music playing]
-[continues sobbing] -Shh.
Shh.
[breathing heavily]
Okay.
I'm sorry.
Let's go to Wrocław. [sniffles]
And Mikołaj?
Mikołaj doesn't care about us.
[Justyna exhales]
[Krymski] What about the shots fired?
[Tomek] That was the Gypsies.
[Krymski] Are there witnesses?
[chuckles] I mean, half of the town was there.
[Krymski] Okay. The question is, will they confirm your testimony?
I don't know.
Some of them will, some of them won't. You know how it is.
But that's not the point at all.
[Krymski] Then what is?
I mean, it's simple.
The longer I stay here, the more time they've got
to tamper with the investigation of Filip Bernat's murder.
[sucks teeth] I mean, the motherfucker planted that wire.
I know it.
My daughter-in-law recorded him.
He said as much.
[sighs]
Everything you're saying is intriguing, to say the least, Tomek.
But what I need is something…
Well, concrete, you know?
I need something concrete to get you out of here.
I've told you everything.
The Gypsies fired the shots.
Police planted the evidence.
We have the recording.
This is all factual.
[faint indistinct chatter]
And how are you feeling?
[exhales]
[indistinct chatter continues]
It's a good place to begin.
Let's prioritize your well-being.
[pensive music playing]
[exhales]
[Krymski] You see…
you've had a heart attack not long ago.
You can't be here.
[tires screech]
Excuse me, sir!
-Hi, Mr. Krymski. -[Krymski] Ah.
-Good morning, Justyna. -Hi, sir. Let me show you one more thing.
Will this help?
[Dobociński] And this moron will be charged as his accomplice.
But you and your husband still have a way out.
If, right this minute, you get the fuck out of town.
The voice you hear is that of the local police chief.
Your father-in-law told me about that recording.
Did that police officer know you were recording him?
[chuckles] I think it's obvious he didn't.
He sounds like he's had too much to drink.
Does it matter, though?
All right, we can try to use that,
but I don't know if the prosecutor will give that any thought.
-So what do you think are our chances? -[car alarm chimes]
Justyna, you know how this goes.
-We need to stay calm. -[scoffs]
Calm, right.
What are you doing here anyway?
I've got family here.
In relation to this case.
Well, I guess
I think I started believing in justice.
Ay, ay, ay, ay.
Then I'm sorry to hear that.
[car door opens]
[pensive music playing]
[pensive music continues]
[exhales]
[mirror squeaking]
[pensive music continues]
[Justyna] Was Mikołaj here?
[exhales] Yeah, he was.
He made a scene and almost got killed.
[pensive music continues]
[bottle spraying]
Where did he go?
[sighs]
How the fuck should I know?
I've seen the way you look at him.
[Kaśka sighs]
I was looking at you.
[chuckles softly]
Is that so?
[pensive music continues]
I'd love to be like you.
[chuckles softly]
[sniffles]
I don't recommend it.
[crickets chirping]
[dog barking in the distance]
[barking continues]
[phone ringing]
Mikołaj?
This is Krymski. I've talked to the prosecutor.
[sighs]
I'm sorry. [clears throat]
What did he say?
He's a stubborn fuck.
And he was fucking pissy about me being from Warsaw.
What about the recording?
He said the evidence can't be accepted without the use of audio forensics.
And it will still be dismissed
because Dobociński will testify that he was under the influence.
So, what do we do?
I don't know. I'll try reaching someone higher.
Higher meaning what?
[pensive music playing]
[Tymek] You're going too fucking far.
You're going too far.
I asked you to keep it low-key. How am I--
[Justyna] All right, I get that I'm using you,
but I know what I'm fucking doing, man, okay?
Hello?
Tymek, are you fucking there or not?
Write down the address.
Just hang on a sec. Hold on.
-Yeah? -Rybczyńska 2A.
He walks his dog exactly at 6 p.m.
It's safest to catch him in the street, supposedly by accident.
Perfect. Great, man. Thanks.
-I'll be there. -You shouldn't be doing this.
Yeah, but he shouldn't be sitting in prison.
Neither should you!
[sighs]
[breathes deeply]
Justyna, for fuck's sake, this is the attorney general.
I get that.
Don't call me again. And be careful.
[pensive music playing]
[door opens, shuts]
-[lock clicks] -[keys jingle]
[sirens wailing in the distance]
-Come on, come on. -[dog barks]
[car alarm wailing in the distance]
-[Justyna] Cute dog. -[dog barks]
-Thank you. -What's his name?
-Oh, this is… [chuckles] -[dog continues barking]
Justyna Głowacki, from The National newspaper.
Security will be here in ten seconds.
Perfect, ten seconds is all I need.
Harassment will get you five years in prison.
[dog barks]
-There's nothing there. -But you were there.
I don't know what you did, whether you touched those kids,
but I know you were there.
I've got photos, evidence. I've got it all.
My paper got scared of you, but I'm not.
I'll post it all online myself.
The photos, recordings, evidence, testimonies.
[dog barks]
-Even if you try to-- -Cut the bullshit.
-What do you want? -Tomek Głowacki.
He's in custody in Wrocław.
-He's innocent. -[scoffs]
Everyone in prison is innocent.
You'll order the prosecutor to withdraw all the charges against Tomek Głowacki,
and I'll give you all my materials.
-[sirens continue wailing in the distance] -[sighs]
Next time, call me "sir."
Come on.
[dramatic music playing]
-[door shuts] -[music halts abruptly]
[sighs]
[voicemail] Hi, it's Mikołaj. Leave a message.
[bottles clank]
[gulping]
[knocking on door]
[Justyna sighs]
[Justyna] Mikołaj.
Please tell me you didn't do it.
What are you doing here?
Fuck, Justyna, he's the country's number one prosecutor.
-The District Attorney General. -[sighs]
Are you out of…
[sighs]
You're absolutely fucking insane.
-And your career's definitely finished. -Don't talk to me like that.
I had to do it. That's it.
Do what?
You had to do what?
Fuck up an investigation that you spent two years on?
Don't be ridiculous.
What would the paper have done with it?
Would anyone have convicted him? Held him accountable?
You're completely screwed.
You made a huge mistake.
[inhales] No one of importance will ever speak to you again.
You're done.
[pensive music playing]
Leave.
Didn't you hear me? I just told you to get out!

-Get lost. -Jasiek!
Be careful on the stairs.
[faint indistinct chatter on TV]
-[Tomek] Grzesiek. -[Grzesiek] Hmm?
Did you not take care of the fish while I was away?
Why? Are they hungry?
[Tomek] See, that's what happens when I ask you for anything.
How are things, Elka? What's the situation?
We've got all the signatures, so now it's just a formality.
[inhales] Uh, the governor has to agree.
[Tomek] He will. I mean, he can't stop us now.
We have to go to the governor's office to approve the residents' initiative too.
-Tomek isn't going anywhere. -[Tomek sighs]
The doctor told you not to.
Elka will go.
Uh, No, Tomek. If you intend to run for office, it would be better if--
Elka.
You are running for office.
And you're going to win.
[Elka] What? Uh, what?
What "what"?
[inhales]
You'll do it and be fine because you're the best.
Tomek…
-are you sure? -I have no doubt.
[Justyna] Hi.
-[Agata] Hi. -[door shuts]
-[Justyna] You in one piece? -Yeah, thanks, I'm in one piece. You?
[Tomek exhales]
You made it happen, huh?
[both chuckle]
-You know, I have my ways. -[exhales]
Thanks.
[exhales]
[Justyna] I have the article. You want to read it?
Sure. Yes.
[Justyna] It's already out everywhere. I hope you like it.
Okay, let's have a peek at it.
[Justyna] Ah, um…
Has Mikołaj been in touch?
He hasn't.
[smacks lips] Okay.
[voicemail] Hi, it's Mikołaj. Leave a message.
[recorder chimes]
[sighs]
Mikołaj?
This really isn't fucking funny anymore.
I don't know.
In my head, I thought you had changed, but I guess I made it all up.
I thought I'd be able to do this.
I thought I could cope.
[doorbell ringing]
But Mikołaj…
[doorbell continues ringing]
…I don't think I can do this anymore.
[door opens]
-[woman] Hi. -[Tomek] Hi.
[woman] I don't know who to turn to with this.
-My husband's gone missing. -[door shuts]
[Tomek] What happened?
[Grzesiek] He's probably sleeping it off at someone's house.
Come on, Grzesiek. I know his reputation, but he hasn't been back since the fair.
[Tomek] So you need to report it to the police.
Go to Winnicki. He should be able to help.
No, no. He disappeared like… like Bernat.
[Tomek] Mrs. Jarecki, you need to report this.
Agata, take her to the police station.
[Mrs. Jarecki] No, that's pointless. They won't do anything.
[Tomek] It's okay. You just need to report it first.
We'll see what happens next.
[Agata] Calm down.
All right, then let's go quickly, please.
[pensive music playing]
[pensive music continues]
[music fades]
[Justyna] Listen, something very strange is going on here.
The husband of that woman who was here, he's gone missing, right?
[Grzesiek] He's a wino.
He goes missing once a week.
I'm sorry for that poor girl, honestly.
[Justyna] Hold on.
[inhales]
Mikołaj said something the other day when we were arguing.
At first, I didn't get it, but now, he, Jarecki, Bernat Junior, and that guy…
Maciuś, I think,
were all abusing Gizmo on the night that Daria was murdered.
They gave him drugs. Uh, LSD.
And?
[Justyna] Mikołaj feels guilty
because he thought he caused Sebastian to murder his own sister.
All right, I get that, but, um…
what does Jarecki have to do with this?
Well… [sighs]
[indistinct chatter on TV]
Since the fair, Jarecki's been gone.
Bernat Junior's been missing for days now. Mikołaj--
Is nowhere to be found.
But you remember…
we went to Rymek.
[Justyna] Hear me out.
What if someone is abducting everyone who drugged Gizmo?
You want some tea, Justyna?
[teapot whistling]
Listen!
Grzesiek, come on. You said yourself that Maciuś is a thug.
Okay, okay, fuck.
But even so…
What-- What would Bernat Senior and the priest have to do with it?
I don't know. Maybe the priest really did run away, you know?
And Bernat Senior was covering for all of them.
Justyna.
[sighs deeply]
Your husband ran off.
[sighs]
-You need to give yourself a break. -[phone chimes]
[indistinct chatter on TV continues]
Mikołaj.
[Tomek] Well?
[soft music playing]
What's he saying?
[sighs]
-"Honey, I'm sorry. I'm in Warsaw." -[Justyna sighs]
"I love you."
[soft music continues]
Listen, go to him.
Go to him.
Bring him here.
We'll take care of him together.
We'll fix it.
[phone line ringing]
[Tomek] The boy needs help.
[birds chirping]
[line continues ringing]
Fucking nightmare.
He truly is a fucking asshole.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
[man] Justyna, you've still got it.
This is a great story.
[Justyna] Thank you.
Hopefully it doesn't get held up by legal.
Anyway, I sent you the edited article. Did you see it?
Uh, sure. I can check it out this evening, okay?
This evening? Do it now. It's going to print tonight!
[Justyna] Fuck! My laptop.
[sighs]
I'll call you back later, okay?
[phone thuds]
[pensive music playing]
[pensive music continues]
[phone line ringing]
[line continues ringing]
[voicemail] Hi, it's Mikołaj. Leave a message.
[pensive music continues]
[gear stick clicks]
[music halts abruptly]
So, what's new…
[pensive music playing]
…on your end?
Oh, you know how I am.
[Maciuś grunting]
[pensive music continues]
Uh, I had to…
somehow…
fix everything.
[engine turns over]
But it's all right now. It's…
Now things will be peaceful.
Everyone's home.
Mikołaj too.
I hope you're…
you're at least a little proud of me.
Are you?
[sighs]
I miss you so much.
[pensive music continues]
[birds chirping]
If I was…
doing something wrong…
you'd let me know, wouldn't you?
[pensive music continues]
[knocking on window]
[music halts]
[water sloshing]
[Mikołaj] There's something in that. Don't drink it.
[Father Bernat breathes shakily]
[sighs]
I'm here because of your book.
I've read it.
I thought…
Jesus Christ…
this kid doesn't know anything.
He has to find out the truth.
It's actually a very simple story.
[inhales shakily]
One evening.
A few people.
One bad decision.
[water dropping faintly]
She saw you guys…
in the courtyard.
She saw you.
And him.
[dramatic music playing]
And him too.
[Jarecki wheezing]
[Mikołaj exhales]
[Father Bernat] And Maciuś.
And Sebastian.
THE MYSTERY ON THE FOX'S TRAIL
[pensive music playing]
[Father Bernat] You gave him acid.
For fun.
Poor boy…
who talked to…
animals.
[pensive music continues]
She took him away from there.
[inhales shakily] They went down the castle hill.
Halfway on their way home…
Maciuś's car pulled over next to them.
They were inside.
Looking to have some fun.
They couldn't stop.
They pulled her into the car.
[Father Bernat, Daria] They pulled me into the car by force.
[water continues dripping]
[Father Bernat] Sebastian was left alone.
Standing by the side of the road and crying.
Calling Daria's name.
[Father Bernat, Daria] They were direct.
There was no foreplay.
[pensive music continues]
[Daria] They deserve what happened to them.
Bernat was first.
He always wanted it.
I tried fighting back, but he didn't even notice.
I thought to myself, "I'll be seeing them tomorrow."
"Everywhere I go, whether it's at school, on the street, or in a store."
"What are they doing?"
[pensive music continues]
[Jarecki breathing shakily]
[Jarecki snorts]
[Daria] Jarecki was next.
He pretended he didn't want to do it.
But he really did.
He kept saying, "I'm the king."
"I'm the lizard king."
[continues breathing shakily]
[pensive music continues]
[Daria] And Maciuś was last.
He flipped me onto my stomach.
I couldn't see what was happening behind me.
He put his…
fingers into my mouth.
And I bit them really hard.
To this day, he has a scar.
He struck me on the head with a rock.
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
I was alive.
And then I wasn't.
[pensive music continues]
And then Sebastian found me.
I don't know how, but he knew.
Something told him where they'd take me.
He saw me and started howling.
[Gizmo] No!
[Daria] I can still hear him.
[pensive music continues]
[Gizmo yelling in the distance]
[whimpering]
[Gizmo] Daria!
No!
[Daria] When Maciuś saw what happened,
he got really scared.
He's not here yet, but he will be soon.
[pensive music continues]
[Father Bernat] Paleface.
Paleface.
What would you have done?
Paleface, what would you have done if your father hadn't taken you away?
[sighs]
What would you have done if you'd stayed there, Paleface?
[Daria chuckles softly]
What?
[Gizmo crying faintly]
[dogs barking in the distance]
[breathing shakily]
[gasps]
Where's Mikołaj?
I told you to go to Warsaw, didn't I?
[continues breathing shakily]
But since you stayed, you need to see everything.
Grzesiek!
Jesus Christ!
[Maciuś] Don't fucking do it.
[Maciuś grunting]
You can't do this! What are you guys doing?
-He's the last one. -[Justyna] What are you saying, Tomek?
-What are you doing? -[Grzesiek] The last motherfucker.
Get him out.
[grunting] Fuck!
Stop fucking moving, you fucker.
-[Maciuś breathing shakily] -[Grzesiek] Fuck.
[grunting]
Mikołaj. Mikołaj!
The priest, as well.
-[Grzesiek] You sure? -Do it.
Mikołaj!
[Grzesiek grunting]
[breathing shakily]
Why?
[Maciuś groans]
It's not bad, he'll live.
What do you mean "not bad"? How the fuck do you think this is okay?
You're aware of everything now?
I am.
[Grzesiek] Dad, maybe give him a moment.
[Maciuś groaning]
[Grzesiek] Come on.
[Maciuś continues grunting]
[Father Bernat] Tomek, I trusted you.
I had to tell you everything. I… I couldn't keep silent any longer.
And it's good that you told me.
But I… But I didn't know that you'd take them all and…
Tomek!
Do you know why you're here?
I'll remind you.
You guys raped that poor girl.
And then you killed her.
Then you made her brother take the fall.
What did you think? That this wouldn't come out?
[Mikołaj] When did you find out?
He told me.
[Maciuś continues grunting]
At my first heart attack.
He came to me to give me the last rites.
He thought I wouldn't make it, and he confessed.
Tomek!
[pensive music playing]
You know, it seems to me that God spared my life
so that I could administer justice.
Makes sense to me. How 'bout you?
Believe in yourself.
Make your enemies angry.
Their cities can be taken.
Their country can be conquered.
You remember, Justyna?
Sun-Tzu.
[sobbing]
Do it.
[Maciuś] No, please! I beg you!
Please stop!
[Maciuś] Please, I fucking beg you! Please!
-Hail Mary, full of grace. -Mikołaj!
-The Lord is with thee. -Do something!
Blessed art thou amongst women.
-[Justyna] Do something! -And blessed is the fruit of thy womb…
My enemies are those who are worse than animals.
[Father Bernat] …pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
They are the black, cold water.
Mikołaj, I'm begging you. Do something!
No!
[Father Bernat] Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
-Holy Mary, Mother of God… -No, Mikołaj!
…pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
-Hail Mary… -That was a bad idea, buddy.
[Justyna shrieks]
[body thuds]
[sobbing]
[Justyna whimpering]
What about her?
We will let her go.
[Grzesiek sighs]
But she could talk.
Well, let her talk.
No one will believe her anyway.
Untie her.
Get the canisters.
-[Justyna continues whimpering] -[Grzesiek] Shh! Quiet, quiet.
[flies buzzing]
[upbeat music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
THREE MONTHS LATER
[indistinct chatter continues]
[applause]
[applause continues]
[upbeat music continues]
So not a hotel, but a senior care home, yeah?
[man 1] Agata, congrats!
We need to take care of our seniors.
I need to give jobs to those poor folks from the colony there, right?
We'll work it out.
-We will. -Well done, Mr. Głowacki!
[man 2] Hey, bravo!
[cheering continues]
[scattered applause]
[upbeat music continues faintly]
You said I'd get something.
We want in for five million.
We're celebrating tonight. We'll talk tomorrow.
[indistinct chatter]
Dear people of Zybork.
We did it!
[cheering]
I have one thing I'd like to say to you.
Thank you. Because we won, thanks to you all!
[cheering]
However, this victory shouldn't lead us to get too comfortable with our success.
Starting tomorrow, we're going to have to work even harder.
[cheering]
And I also want to say…
And I want to say that perhaps… perhaps it won't be flawless.
Yet, it definitely will be more tolerant.
[cheering]
Perhaps this town will finally be free from the rule of the ruthless.
[man] Bravo!
[applause]
And perhaps it will be done
without demeaning or underestimating the simple, honest individual.
[applause continues]
Perhaps we could all work together to administer this town
by listening to each other and respecting one another.
-[woman 1] Whoo! -[man 3] Absolutely.
[applause continues]
With me is a wonderful, brave woman, Elka Walinowska.
[cheering]
ELŻBIETA WALINOWSKA OUR TOWN IN OUR HANDS
Who, starting tomorrow,
will take over as mayor on behalf of the Better Zybork group.
[woman 2] Yeah!
[cheering continues]
[Tomek] Ladies and gentlemen, taking advantage of this solemn moment,
I'd like to say that my son Mikołaj is also present here tonight.
Mikołaj, where are you?
Oh, there he is.
[applause]
Mikołaj, the nationally well-known writer.
Mikołaj…
decided to come back home and live in Zybork!
[cheering]
Who knows? Perhaps he will pen his next remarkable book
right here in his hometown.
-[woman 3] Congratulations. -[woman 4] Congratulations.
[applause]
[Kaśka, Mikołaj clear throats]
[Kaśka] You guys look good.
Always.
And how are you?
You know, I think everything's pretty good.
Right, Paleface?
[pensive music playing]
-I'll be right back, okay? -Yeah, okay.
[pensive music continues]
Please explain…
why you did nothing to stop me.
You knew about everything.
[Dobociński] I fucked up, and you fixed it.
-[Tomek sucks teeth] -[Dobociński] You know it.
[Tomek] So what'll happen now?
Are you with us?
[pensive music continues]
Tomek.
This is our town, after all.
[pensive music continues]
Mikołaj.
Have you talked to Kalt already?
[Mikołaj] Yeah.
And?
[pensive music continues]
[music fades]
I told him that if he screws us over, we'll kill him.
[faint distant laughter]
[pensive music continues]
[Tomek] Thanks, son.
[man] The award for the best coverage of the year
goes to Justyna Głowacka for the article A citizen from Zybork.
[applause]
[camera shutter clicking]
Thank you for this award.
[pensive music continues]
It is a great honor and the culmination of my career
as an investigative journalist.
[Mikołaj] You again.
Me again.
[chuckles]
How about we get to know each other?
Mikołaj.
Justyna.
Can't wait for the book.
[pensive music continues]
It's truly hard
to obtain something as…
as hard as justice.
[applause]
[Jacek] You're brave.
[inhales sharply]
Let's go home.
[pensive music continues]
[music halts abruptly]
[phone ringing]
[phone continues ringing]
HOUND'S HILL
[voicemail] Hi, it's Mikołaj. Leave a message.
[phone chimes]
[dogs barking in the distance]
-[barking continues] -[pensive music playing]
[music fades]
