Just One Look (2025) s01e01 Episode Script

-What is this about?
-He'll tell you himself.
He's been asking to see you for months.
Why? I'm not the one handling this case.
Whatever you say or do,
I have no influence over your sentence.
Yet you came.
-You must be curious about what I'll say.
-What do you want?
To explain.
Explain what?
What I did to you.
-I don't even know you.
-But I know you.
I've known you for a long time.
You had a daughter once, right?
Why do you ask?
I'll tell you but in private.
Step out, gentlemen.
You too.
I wasn't a typical hit man. I had rules.
For example, I killed only men.
I didn't touch women.
It's not a lecture on ethics.
What do you want?
It was 2009. I was given an address.
I was told when the target
would be returning home.
It was late and raining.
I was in my car in the parking lot.
The target drove by.
Stepped out of the car.
In a long… colorful coat.
I moved in at full speed.
What the fuck are you driving at?
The contract said that…
the target's name was Alex.
I didn't know
it was short for "Alexandra."
It was deemed an accident,
but it wasn't one, prosecutor.
I don't believe you.
I have a glioma.
I don't have much time left.
I want to put all my affairs in order
before I leave this world.
I was the one who killed your daughter.
Who hired you?
I'll tell you if you do something for me.
JUST ONE LOOK
BASED ON THE NOVEL BY HARLAN COBEN
This dream always begins
and ends the same way.
Only the course of events changes.
Sometimes I dream
I'm standing near the stage.
Other times, I'm on the stage.
Because I don't really remember
anything about that day.
And despite trying for years,
I can't make myself remember.
JIMMY, I LOVE YOU
Jimmy!
Greta, this one's for you.
Our gazes met and touched
Then we went our separate ways
But you know well that it's enough
To tell your heart "yes"
And us, we've got time
And please, let's both give in
To something that is stronger than us
This one look that brings us together
And you know I'm yours
And please, let's both give in
To something that is stronger than us
Hi, Mom!
Hello, sweetie.
Hi, Mom!
Hi.
Tag!
Boo.
How are you feeling?
I had that dream again.
So why didn't you wake me up, huh?
I still can't remember anything.
I'm here for you and always will be.
I know.
Tag!
Want to go back to bed?
Yes?
What about the kids?
They'll be fine.
They won't even notice.
Come on.
Mom! Dad!
We're bored already!
So, I guess that's it?
One sec!
ALEX'S STUFF
REMBIEWSKA ARTISTIC JEWELRY
Today is the 15th anniversary
of the largest mass event tragedy
in Polish history.
A fire during a concert
at a former steel mill
claimed the lives of 28 young people.
Most of the victims
didn't die in the inferno
but were trampled to death
by the fleeing crowd.
The sole survivor, found under the rubble,
was a 21-year-old Academy of Arts student,
dubbed "The Angel from the Concert."
Despite the years that have passed,
the tragedy is still remembered.
Especially one day before the release
of Wiktor Lewiński, who started the fire.
Here's "Just One Look," Jimmy D.'s
biggest hit, an international favorite,
and for us,
something of an anthem to that tragedy.
Through foggy glasses
The world looks different
When you finally take them off…
…let's both give in
To something that is stronger than us
This one look--
Good afternoon.
Hello?
Hello?
Excuse me.
-Yes?
-I'm here for my photos.
Greta Rembiewska.
-Do you still have room on your wall?
-I do.
Respect, because people
hardly develop photos these days.
Everyone's about smartphones and AI.
Yeah.
Okay, I have to go.
-Thank you and goodbye.
-Goodbye.
…a cloudy sky and rainfall
for most of the day.
The maximum temperature
will be around eight degrees Celsius.
Kids, do you want to see
our vacation photos?
-Yeah, in a minute!
-One sec!
Jacek?
And then Zuza charges at me, and I…
I dodge, take over the ball, and I score!
She was so loud,
they heard her on the third floor.
Yeah, right. Stop making stuff up, kid.
Emma, sit.
I'm not making it up.
The whole class laughed at you.
Coach said he might put me
in the inter-school competition.
Dad will be really happy.
Who's that?
Emma!
-What?
-Backpack on the floor.
Jesus.
-Good afternoon.
-Good afternoon.
Mrs. Rembiewska-Ławniczak?
This is for you.
-Thank you.
-Goodbye.
-Where are you two going?
-To our room.
At least eat at your desk, not in bed.
-Okay.
-Jesus!
ON THE 15TH ANNIVERSARY
OF THOSE SAD EVENTS,
ALWAYS AT YOUR SERVICE, KAROL WESPA
Where am I?
In the hospital.
Why?
You don't remember?
The doctor said
you might suffer from memory loss.
And… Rafał?
What about Rafał?
Good morning.
Please excuse us for a moment.
Unfortunately, you have third-degree
burns, a concussion, three broken ribs…
-Hello?
-Good afternoon.
How did you like the flowers?
They're beautiful.
Like every year.
I'm told it's a very resilient variety.
You have to trim them every two days.
They might survive as long as a month.
Okay.
-Thank you.
-Maybe we could meet for coffee?
Mr. Karol,
it's very nice of you
to send flowers each year, but…
maybe it's enough with the flowers.
I don't follow.
I don't mean to offend you, but…
these flowers always remind me
of that concert and Rafał.
I have a family now. I have children and…
Please, try to understand.
Still, you can always call me
if you need to.
Regardless of the time of day.
I know. Thank you.
Goodbye.
So, Mr. Ryszard?
What are we going to do about that land?
I'll sign it.
Glad to hear it.
I told you
you wouldn't get a better offer.
Hey, I'm back.
Is anybody home?
-I'm in the kitchen.
-Oh. Hi, honey.
Hey.
I'm dead tired.
Yeah?
Is everything okay?
Fifteenth anniversary.
I saw Wespa's flowers.
Yeah.
-Has the media pestered you?
-No.
-I think they're done with me.
-Really?
Maybe I'll pester you today, huh?
We'll try to find some personal space.
Daddy!
Or we won't.
What's up, you little critters?
How was school?
I had the best assist of the season.
Oh, yeah? Bravo!
And I wrote a new story.
Want me to read it to you?
Yes. Daddy will join you
in a minute, okay?
Go to your room, huh?
It's Darek. I'll call him back later.
What's there to eat?
Leftover dinner from yesterday.
Ketchup with stew?
Exquisite. Even tastier than yesterday.
Listen… Do you know this picture?
No. What is it?
It was in the envelope
with the photo prints.
Our photo prints?
Yeah. Do you know these people?
No.
Take a look. This guy looks like you.
No, honey. Obviously, it's not me.
I'm better looking.
I know, but look.
Can I play on the computer?
-Yes. I'll turn it on.
-I know how to do it.
-I'll do it.
-Hurry back. I'll heat this up.
Okay.
Hi, Darek. Listen, I left you that
warehouse servicing design on your desk.
We can talk it over
in the office tomorrow.
Yeah, we'll catch up on it. Bye.
Jacek!
Jacek!
-Where's Dad?
-I don't know. He was here, but he left.
Jacek!
Hello, this is Jacek Ławniczak.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Borys Gajewicz.
Warsaw District Prosecutor's Office.
I have a scheduled visit.
Inmate name?
Marek Skalewski.
-When did you schedule the visit?
-A few days ago.
No one notified you?
-About what?
-Marek Skalewski is dead.
He hanged himself in his cell yesterday.
-What do you mean, "hanged himself"?
-Like I said.
I can't take it anymore. You understand?
"It will sort itself out"?
What will?
This is sick!
How the fuck will it do that?
Listen, I can't
and won't lie to her anymore.
I'll just deal with it once and for all.
Fuck the consequences.
Do you hear me?!
I'm ready to go to jail.
I'm fine with doing time.
Okay, I gotta go.
Wait for what?
Hi, Kamila. Listen…
Could you come over?
Something weird has happened
and I need to talk about it.
Sure thing.
Nothing bad, I hope.
I'm not sure… It's about Jacek.
Come over, please.
Sure. Okay.
Okay. Thanks.
They're asleep.
Did he call?
No.
Hello, this is Jacek Ławniczak.
Please leave a message after the beep.
He's not picking up.
Wait, so I understand this correctly.
He saw the planted photo, went to see Max…
and ran out of the house, right?
Yeah. Taking the photo from the table.
That's really weird.
Kamila, is this a joke?
Meaning?
Meaning…
Did you and Jacek plant the photo?
Well?
Honey…
I didn't plant anything.
Are you crazy?
Love, I have to go. It's late.
I have to see to my husband
and get Nicola ready for school.
Bye.
Don't worry so much.
He'll be back.
Rysiek.
Let's get you to bed.
Yeah, okay.
Come on.
Hello, this is Jacek Ławniczak.
Please leave a message after the beep.
FATAL HIT-AND-RUN ON PEDESTRIAN CROSSING
-I want to report my husband as missing.
-Has he been gone for 48 hours?
-No.
-Then I can't accept the report.
He has to be missing for 48 hours.
And were there any accidents
involving an Opel Insignia?
License plate number WE 3744F.
One second.
No report of an accident
involving a car with that number.
Anything else I can help with?
No. Thank you very much. Good night.
Why are you following me?
Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Take it easy.
What's up with this photo crap?
Are you going to threaten me now?
Leave me the fuck alone.
Mom, why are you sleeping here
and not in the bedroom?
I dozed off here, you know?
I had a bad dream.
Come here.
Come…
Come here, sweetie.
-I'll take care of it.
-I want to help you.
Mom, where is Daddy?
At work.
He left early this morning.
Too bad. He didn't read my story.
-Are you having more?
-No.
Greta, I was about to call you.
Where's Jacek?
Did you talk to him yesterday?
He didn't show up.
I called him a few times,
but he didn't pick up.
But you did that documentation
outside town together.
What?
So… there was no documentation.
LAST NIGHT, MY HUSBAND,
JACEK ŁAWNICZAK, EMMA AND MAX'S FATHER,
WENT OUT AND HASN'T RETURNED SINCE
Keep the change.
Give it a rest.
If what happened after the concert
ever comes out…
you're dead.
-What is this about?
-He'll tell you himself.
He's been asking to see you for months.
Why? I'm not the one handling this case.
Whatever you say or do,
I have no influence over your sentence.
