We are closed for today.
Borys Gajewicz,
District Prosecutor's Office.
Mrs. Rembiewska-Ławniczak?
Yes.
Is this about my husband?
Can we talk?
Come in.
Yes?
Do you recognize this?
The crossed-out girl is Alex.
My daughter.
Found dead in a parking lot
outside her home 15 years ago.
JUST ONE LOOK
BASED ON THE NOVEL BY HARLAN COBEN
-Is this your husband?
-Where did you get this?
Someone planted it.
Like yours at the photo lab.
There was a note
with your and your husband's last name.
My daughter.
We called her Alex.
The police said it was an accident.
I've recently learned
it was a contract killing.
I don't understand.
What's that got to do
with my husband and I?
I don't know yet.
Please take a closer look.
See the look in her eyes?
I've gone through my daughter's things.
Hoping to find some clue.
And I have.
Right before Alex died,
she was going out with a guy
called Szymon Adamiuk.
Don't know him.
All I found out was that 15 years ago
he studied at the polytechnic.
After that, nothing.
Vanished into thin air.
Do you think
he's the other guy in the photo?
I think so.
Maybe he has a family?
Please take a closer look.
Your daughter was pregnant with his child?
That's what I first thought too.
But it turned out to be more complicated.
IT'S OURS, JACEK. GET IN TOUCH.
"It's ours, Jacek. Get in touch"?
She was pregnant
with your husband's child.
How can you be so sure?
I can't be. But my daughter was murdered
and your husband is missing.
Sir, these things are 15 years apart.
Yet you said yourself
that your husband, Jacek,
left the house
right after he saw the photo.
-You think it's a coincidence?
-Sorry, but I can't help you.
Do you have kids?
DISTRICT PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE
I do.
You're very lucky then.
Hi.
REMBIEWSKA ARTISTIC JEWELRY
CONTACT US
I'M FASCINATED BY SHAPES,
COLORS AND TEXTURES…
Each day when you are here--
Thanks.
Thank you. Great. You are awesome.
-We will call you.
-Thank you.
Hi.
Jimmy.
Hi. Greta.
Haven't we crossed paths before?
I don't think so.
Shouldn't you be out there?
Great artists stay in the shadows.
-So why are you on stage most of the time?
-To meet girls as great as you backstage.
You'll have to keep looking.
Come on, I was just kidding.
-You're the drummer, right?
-It's your turn.
What?
One sec.
Why do you want to be in this music video?
You pay a lot,
and I'm saving up for summer holidays.
-Come on.
-Sorry.
Ladies and gentlemen, Greta.
-Hi, Greta.
-Hi.
She's awesome.
Great to have you here.
Hi, Kamila. I have a favor to ask.
Could you pick up my kids from school?
I have to take care of something.
Thanks. Bye.
MARYLA IS ONLINE!
It's nice to see you, Greta.
How long has it been?
We saw each other last
a year after the fire.
Yes, I remember. You had lunch
with us in the garden, right?
You had no interest in meeting before.
Has something happened?
My husband is missing.
And I just…
I really don't know what to do.
I thought you might…
be able to help me somehow.
Okay. I'll look into this.
But you have to tell me
everything you know.
A call for you, sir.
-It's urgent.
-Excuse me.
Lewiński is getting out of prison.
Mr. Wespa wants me to keep an eye on you.
I know.
I've seen you many times.
I wanted you to see me.
He misses his son. He means no harm.
What can I do?
I can't bring Rafał back to life.
Mr. Wespa is more at ease…
knowing you are well.
Scar, you know this is not normal.
I'm back. Thank you. I apologize.
Have you heard that Wiktor Lewiński,
that arsonist, managed to get parole?
Yes.
He should be serving life.
He's done 15 years already.
I don't know, maybe that's enough?
Greta, 28 young people died that night.
Including my son.
They had their entire lives ahead of them.
And now, this…
Apparently, he wants to reveal
some new information about what happened.
What kind of information?
He admitted to everything.
He set the fire, frustrated
after getting expelled as a student.
Are you sure that's what really happened?
I don't remember.
I still can't remember those few days
before and after the concert.
Hello, Maryla.
Well, well.
What a surprise.
Isn't it?
I have a favor to ask.
Could I park in your garage?
I have valuable stuff in the trunk.
The car shouldn't be outside overnight.
How do you know
I'll let you stay overnight?
I don't know.
I'll open it for you.
I wish you had told me you were coming.
I would have prepared better.
This was a last-minute thing.
One day in Warsaw.
Business?
You could say that.
Why are you looking at me like that?
-That's funny.
-What is?
You look exactly like in the photo.
Why are you surprised?
Men… are cheats.
They send other people's photos.
Or ones that are manipulated.
And then they're surprised
I ghost them after one meeting.
You see, Maryla…
I have nothing to hide.
I am what I am.
Want to have a drink?
Why not?
I'll get some wine.
Maryla?
Maryla?
Maryla?
Where are you?
Who is this?
What are you doing out here?
Who is this?!
Put the phone away.
Who are you?
-I don't understand.
-Give me the phone.
The phone.
Please.
What did you open the trunk for?
EMERGENCY NUMBER
Has he gone missing before?
No.
Are you having any marital problems?
No.
Financial problems?
No.
Excuse me.
So… everything was fine until yesterday.
Yes.
Where did you meet your husband?
In France. Does it matter?
I don't know.
I'm just asking. Maybe it matters.
Or not.
Sir, I know it hasn't been 48 hours yet,
but maybe…
you could… do something?
Of course. For now, we're just talking.
I have his vehicle registration.
Will you help me?
Do you use the toll app
when you enter paid highways?
I think… Yes, we do.
That's great.
Great. This could really help us.
Then again, maybe not.
I don't know. Anyway, we'll check it out.
Here you go.
Give me a few hours. I'll call you.
Okay.
Maybe he'll turn up in the meantime.
If he does,
call me to say everything is fine.
Of course. Thank you.
Or not. Let's do it the other way round.
Call me when it's not fine.
Because if it's fine…
there's no point in calling.
There's no case.
I doubt your husband
fell victim to any crime.
So for now, don't worry too much.
Okay.
They'll be looking for me.
What the fuck do you want, huh?
You're going to call your wife.
-Tell her--
-Fuck you.
Tell her you need a few more days.
Fuck you.
Unless you want your wife
and kids to end up like this girl.
Got it?!
Well?
How about that call?
DISTRICT POLICE DEPARTMEN
Jacek, where are you?
Listen. I can't talk long.
I need a few days.
-What? What are you saying?
-Hello?
Hello? Jacek!
Hello? Greta, where are you?
-I'm outside a police station.
-Have you notified the police?
Jacek, is everything all right?
Listen. Don't notify the police. I'm fine.
Wait, what? Jacek, tell… What is going on?
Greta, I need some space. You understand?
-What?
-Space.
-Jacek!
-Don't call me.
Jacek! Fuck.
Hello, this is Jacek Ławniczak.
Please leave a message--
Fuck.
Hello, this is Jacek Ławniczak.
Please leave a message after the beep.
MISSED CALLS
SANDRA KOWALSKA
YESTERDAY
LAW OFFICES OF BARTON & KRYSICKA
The counselor will be with you soon.
Please have a seat.
Thank you.
I only have five minutes.
As Mr. Ławniczak's lawyer,
I can't comment on his affairs.
It would be unethical.
Where is Jacek?
How would I know?
Because he called you.
Just before he went missing.
He's missing?
What did you talk about?
I haven't heard from him for ages.
In that case, why did he call you
if you haven't talked in ages?
How should I know?
Is he in trouble?
-That's what you claim.
-I'm asking you.
Are you familiar with this photo?
Where did you get this?
Someone planted it for me.
He called you
right after he saw this photo.
Why did he consult a lawyer?
I don't know what you're driving at.
Excuse me, I have a meeting.
What happened to my husband?
-Maybe he decided to leave?
-He did not.
I know him too well.
Maybe you don't know him at all.
Maybe neither of us knows him well enough?
I've been recording this conversation.
In case you wish
to twist my words in the future.
Sorry for not telling you earlier.
What about her?
Motherfucker.
Tell me where to bring Ławniczak.
And we settle what's due.
Things got a bit complicated.
FINE. BUT YOU HAVE TO DO
ONE MORE THING FOR ME.
-Hi, Kamila. How are you guys?
-Fine.
Emma wants Nicola to sleep over tonight.
What did you tell her?
That I need to ask you
if you're fine with it.
Of course I am.
Great. The kids will be thrilled.
And how are you?
You know what? I'll call you later.
Okay. Be careful.
Take the kids to our place. Thanks.
Counselor, after 15 years,
the arsonist is being released on parole.
Why have you decided to represent him?
Counselor, a short comment.
Kids, bedtime.
Come on, sleep well.
Okay, good night.
-Good night.
-Good night.
Night night.
Finally.
Why don't you sit your butt down already?
Hold on.
PROSECUTOR GAJEWICZ
Hello?
Good evening, prosecutor.
I apologize for calling this late.
But I've got the number
of the mother of Szymon Adamiuk.
My daughter's boyfriend.
The other guy from the photo.
She's a widow, lives in the suburbs.
She claims that Szymon left for India
15 years ago and severed ties with her.
She doesn't know if he's alive.
Did you ask about your daughter or Jacek?
I asked about your husband.
She immediately recognized your last name.
Could you give me her number?
I'll try to set up a meeting for us.
One more thing.
I'll be trying to arrange
the exhumation of my daughter's body.
And… why are you telling me this?
I wanted you to know
before we start talking more officially.
Excuse me, but I don't understand
what you expect from me.
Just… let's be allies.
At least for now.
Good night.
The prosecutor?
Yes.
Is that her?
Yeah.
Pretty.
I know.
Yeah. What will you do?
Don't even suggest that.
What did he say?
That he "needed space"? Yeah?
-You know, when a guy says that--
-Kamila.
Okay.
There was a time when Jacek and I…
We made love in strange places.
Like where?
All sorts of places. Public ones.
Parking lots, fitting rooms.
In a sauna, a few times.
In an airplane loo.
Well, well.
One morning,
we were coming back from a party.
Remember that last phone booth
in Unia Lubelska Square?
No way. You did it there?
The sun was up.
There were cars on the street.
When we made love
in the phone booth, Jacek said that…
-That he needed space.
-…he needed space.
Well, well.
In that case, he definitely wanted
to tell you something.
Maybe he wasn't alone.
Exactly.
Maybe he was scared?
Maybe someone made him tell me
not to report him missing to the police.
And he meant to tell you something else.
Let me see that profile again.
Here.
Yeah. Kids, husband.
A house in the suburbs.
What?
Wait.
Hold on.
What is it?
What are we looking for?
This photo.
Maybe check Jacek's phone records?
Maybe he didn't call just her.
Yeah, I'll check.
All the phones are registered
in Jacek's name. He pays all the bills.
From his bank account?
Yeah. Including the mortgage.
Do you have access to that account?
No.
No?
No. The mortgage is in his name too.
Do you even have your own account?
Yeah.
From before we were even married.
Don't you have shared money?
We do. Jacek's salary
goes into my account.
By the way, it's a lot more than I earn.
Then what does he use to pay the bills?
You know, he has a share…
He has a share in an insurance company
his grandfather started.
But Jacek doesn't want
to touch that money.
That whole…
That whole situation is strange.
He had an argument with his family.
He said something
about his parents and sister.
But they are not in touch.
I don't want to poke my nose
into other people's business, but…
You don't know much about your husband.
At least not about his money and family.
Come on.
There it is! I got it.
I knew it.
Is this Jacek?
I don't know.
But if this is him, that might be Sandra.
Fuck me.
Sandra Kowalska is Jacek's sister.
-Where were you? Where's Nicola?
-At a friend's.
It's late. You should be asleep.
Come on now.
Sleep.
Good night.
Offices of Barton & Krysicka.
Sandra Kowalska speaking.
Hello, this is Greta Rembiewska-Ławniczak.
Could we meet?
You again?
-I'm sorry, but--
-What are you hiding?
Hello?
Scar…
I have something urgent to take care of.
-I'll follow you.
-I'd like to ask you to stay here.
My kids are at home sleeping.
-I'll be back in an hour.
-I'll ask someone to follow you.
Thank you.
You didn't answer my question.
I'll repeat.
What are you hiding?
I'll repeat myself too.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
About this.
And this.
Are you his sister?
Your husband didn't tell you?
Yes, we are siblings.
But he was problematic.
Cut his ties with the family.
Called me only when he needed something.
I had no time
for a relationship like that.
Are you satisfied?
Why did he call you
right before going missing?
He had some problems.
It was a short conversation,
because I had a meeting.
I tried to call later,
but he didn't pick up.
I'm just… afraid that he's in danger.
Do you understand?
That's not my concern.
Is that all?
No. What's with that photo?
Why did Jacek disappear
right after he had seen it?
Who are these people?
You must've known them.
I can't help you, ma'am.
Why defend Lewiński?
Why you?
I'm a lawyer. I have all sorts of clients.
That's my job.
Goodbye, ma'am.
