JUST ONE LOOK
BASED ON THE NOVEL BY HARLAN COBEN
Easy now.
Hello!
I need help. I'm wounded.
I need to call the police.
My name is Jacek Ławniczak.
I need to call my wife.
Please.
Please!
Leave me alone.
Let me be, for fuck’s sake.
And how are you feeling?
All right now. Thank you.
Do you know who's defending Lewiński?
Sandra Kowalska.
Your husband's sister.
But why her?
Yeah, I'd like to know that too.
I talked to her two days ago.
First time ever.
Jacek called her before he went missing.
I hoped… she'd tell me something.
And?
And nothing.
She didn't want to talk.
You've been married for several years.
You hadn't met his sister?
Jacek… never wanted
to talk about his family.
I know how it sounds.
It's just that…
We were good together.
I've felt like he was running away
from something.
I didn't want to push him.
I was afraid to find out something…
that I really wouldn't want to know.
It's okay. Don't worry.
You're under my care now.
Scar will stay with you.
And I'm glad you're okay.
Thank you.
Maybe let's do it like this.
Tomorrow is Lewiński's press conference.
You'll meet Kowalska again,
but this time in my company.
She might know more
than she is willing to tell us.
Okay.
How's your husband doing?
The doctors say the worst is over.
Could I have a word with you?
But I already gave my statement.
Our officer owes you his life.
What about my neighbor?
We don't know.
She disappeared along with her car.
Your husband and Ms. Rembiewska
behaved recklessly.
Yet very bravely.
Did you catch that man?
Not yet, unfortunately.
I've read your statement.
There's one thing I don't get.
You looked through the window
and saw a stranger
sniffing around Ms. Szyszko's house.
Yes.
The next day, you knocked on the door,
but the neighbor didn't answer.
And what? That raised your suspicion?
Why? She might've just gone out somewhere.
She was out all night.
How do you know that?
Every day at 10 p.m., her lights are on.
But not that night.
You check her windows every night?
Since that night her lights weren't on,
how do you know
that Ms. Szyszko was or wasn't there?
I don't know.
Right.
I'm sorry. Of course…
you don't watch your neighbor's yard
all the time, obviously.
I don't.
Besides, I was afraid.
Of what?
He saw me.
Through the window.
He saw my face.
And? You were afraid he might kill you?
He saw me a few times.
He could've come back and hurt me.
A few times?
Through the window?
Who were you watching?
Your neighbor or that man?
-Can we end this conversation?
-You know we can't.
Can we at least finish it somewhere else?
I envied her.
Her looks, her lifestyle.
The kind of men she meets up with.
You know, my marriage is…
My husband used to be a renowned surgeon.
But he lost the use of one eye
in a skiing accident.
He had a breakdown.
He's depressed.
And now, he might not live through this.
Please, calm down.
Am I suspected of something?
No.
Go back to your husband.
Everything will be fine.
-One more thing.
-Yes?
If he saw you, I assume
you managed to get a good look at him.
Yes.
Is that him?
No.
-Are you sure?
-Of course.
That guy had… dark hair and a mustache.
Sorry, I have to take this.
Dalewski.
I'll be right there. Okay. See you.
Maybe this will be enough
to get something to eat.
Ms. Lambowska.
Excuse me?
Ms. Lambowska.
You mean my son's homeroom teacher?
No.
I mean your son.
Hey!
Wait a minute! Hello!
Stop!
Fuck.
Come on.
Come on, man.
Go! Come on, go!
Go!
…the moth and the dragonfly.
We finish in 15. Is this urgent?
Mom?
I'm sorry. I'll wait outside.
Okay.
Let's get back to writing.
-What did you put down?
-Butterfly, moth, dragonfly.
Excuse me.
I just wanted to make sure
my daughter has her backpack. Okay?
-I'll be quick.
-Okay.
Move it.
-Is this the car?
-The plates seem to match.
-Hi.
-Hi, Agnieszka.
-They found Kowalik's abandoned car.
-What?
The mall. Yes. Of course. The same one.
-Unbelievable. If needed, I can come--
-Listen, sorry.
-I'll call later. Okay?
-Okay. Bye.
Take care. Bye.
Listen, can you open the trunk for me?
Oh fuck!
What a mess.
You've got your work cut out for you.
-Hi.
-Listen, Agnieszka.
We have quite a bloodbath here.
That handsome guy of yours is dead.
He clearly didn't abduct Jacek Ławniczak.
We were right. It's all connected.
Exactly.
Call in Kamila Sośnik. And tell our artist
to prepare a facial composite. Okay?
-Sure. Got it.
-Okay.
-Oh. And call in Kowalik's wife.
-Yeah? Okay.
-Yeah. Thanks.
-Bye.
See you. Bye.
Well, well.
The guy clearly liked to have fun.
Nice.
Very nice.
Yes?
If you want your kids to be safe,
drop it.
Let it go.
Mom, he keeps
taking away the ball I got from Dad…
I could start taking his stuff too.
He gets on my nerves. And he bit me.
Max, let's go.
-Guys, let's go.
-That's my favorite ball.
What did the man look like?
He was an older guy.
With a beard.
-He had dirty clothes on.
-Homeless?
I don't know. Maybe.
And you've never seen him before?
No.
Okay. I'll send our guys there
to look around.
Tomek, something's up.
What's up?
What is it?
Hold on.
Wanna talk?
Who else has access to the apartment?
I don't know. My husband,
the kids, sometimes my friend, Kamila.
No strangers snooping around?
No.
-Renovation? A courier?
-No!
-Maybe the kids let someone in?
-I don't think so.
-Your home was bugged.
-I know!
We have to carefully check the house.
Mr. Wespa has people who can help.
But don't worry.
This wasn't the work of professionals.
The equipment used isn't overly fancy.
Range of about 30 meters.
Signal probably from a car.
They'll be here all night.
We're not taking our eyes off you.
Especially the kids.
I know. Thank you.
Listen… Can I ask for one more favor?
Will you stay with them for a while?
Do you know him?
What about him?
Please speak up.
Do you know his name?
Tell me what you know.
He's my husband's friend
from his prison days.
He was released recently.
And?
And then it started.
What started?
He was using my husband.
But I don't know what for.
My husband didn't want to say.
He was often gone all night.
Never had any time.
I know this is difficult.
I have some bad news for you.
My husband is dead, right?
Yes.
He was murdered.
I'm truly sorry.
I knew it.
His eyes are closer together.
Dark.
Almost black.
He is an extremely evil man.
HALINA STYCZEŃ
SINGLE WIDOW, PODKOWA LEŚNA
You've reached Halina Styczeń.
For the next six months,
I'm on a dream trip across Indonesia.
Leave a kind message.
I'll call back when I get a signal.
What are you thinking?
-Just wondering.
-I can see that.
I'm wondering… who we're dealing with.
And? Any conclusions?
Listen…
The guy uses lonely people
found through dating websites.
Especially women.
He seduces them.
Then, uses all these people
and their homes to further his operations.
Well…
He's a dangerous and cunning sociopath.
Yeah, but…
Was he somehow connected with Ławniczak?
There you go.
Listen.
This is either personal or a contract.
Either way, the guy is a hit man.
Have they called from that prison or not?
Not yet.
Did you tell them it's urgent?
Yes.
Apparently, prison officers
have a different notion of time.
There's no point in waiting.
Let's send a BOLO.
Of course, boss.
ŚRÓDMIEŚCIE
DISTRICT PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE
-Hello.
-Please leave your bag.
-Room 18. Second door to the left.
-Thank you very much.
Hello. I'm looking
for Prosecutor Borys Gajewicz.
I need to see him urgently.
He doesn't work here anymore.
He doesn't work here? Since when?
-About two weeks.
-Excuse me?
Damn it.
You've reached Halina Styczeń.
For the next six months,
I'm on a dream trip across Indonesia.
Leave a kind message.
I'll call back when I get a signal.
Look what I've found on Jacek's computer.
TOTAL FUNDS: 7,610,700 PLN
-That's some serious dough.
-Yeah.
I think that's what Jacek inherited.
YOUR SAVINGS BETWEEN 2020-2023
Maybe show this to that prosecutor.
What's his name?
Former prosecutor.
Borys Gajewicz.
I went to the prosecutor's office.
He doesn't work there anymore.
He lied to me.
Hi, beautiful.
I dropped by to chat.
You lied to me.
He's alive.
You were at my office.
News travels fast.
-I can easily explain.
-Yeah?
You showed me an expired prosecutor's ID.
Is that girl your daughter?
Or is that another lie?
I've told the truth.
Why didn't you tell me right away?
I didn't want to start a relationship
with the information
that I've just been fired.
Breach of official duties.
When I found out my daughter was murdered,
I couldn't focus on work.
I constantly thought about it.
How can I be sure
that you're being honest now?
You can continue acting on your own.
-Or you can trust me.
-I just want to find my husband.
And I want to catch my daughter's killer.
These cases are connected.
I don't understand.
I don't understand your methods.
I'm just trying to rattle the cage.
That's when people start making mistakes.
I'm in a hurry.
SANDRA KOWALSKA
VOTED BEST ATTORNEY
Well, well, well.
You set yourself up real good.
Sandra.
You don't seem to have money problems.
My line of work pays well.
What line of work is that?
Because I doubt it's the law.
Some coffee?
You don't seem to understand.
I'm not here to chitchat.
-We'll work something out.
-That's for sure.
Tell me how much.
I'll pay.
You don't get it.
Because of you, I've lived with the guilt,
believing I'd killed him.
We had a deal, Jimmy.
But he's alive.
The deal is no longer valid.
Or is it?
What do you want?
Justice.
You took everything from me.
My career.
My reputation.
My money.
A great deal of money. You know?
But it's over now.
-Jimmy.
-It's over.
-Stop it.
-It's enough.
-Jimmy.
-Enough.
Please--
Security!
Ms. Sandra, he's here.
We'll do as we agreed, Wiktor.
You read out the statement. That's it.
But people will ask questions.
I know. I'll answer all of them. Got it?
You keep quiet.
But I owe them an explanation, Counselor.
You've paid for your mistakes.
You took the blame and you didn't have to.
Hello. Karol Wespa.
Hello. I know who you are.
And you, Wiktor?
Remember me?
I do.
You're the father of my friend, Rafał.
I'm the father of a boy
who lost his life because of you.
No…
It wasn't like that.
I didn't want it to turn out this way.
-What are you doing? Leave him alone!
-Move away. Okay?
-Okay, keep your pants on.
-Not a word!
-Guys, come on. Relax.
-Fuck.
Fuck off. Okay?
There's nothing else. I had one bottle.
-And what's this?
-Your ass, you idiot.
Leave that!
Get up.
-Why are you messing with them?
-They're fucking fascists.
Nah. Just muscleheads.
Yeah?
We'll see about that.
We'll fucking see.
-Let's burn this joint down.
-Wiktor, wait!
What?
Mr. Wespa, please come to the conference.
All your questions will be answered there.
I know everything about you,
Sandra Ławniczak.
And I know with whom
to share this knowledge.
Don't even think
about tying Rafał to the fire.
Sir, can you let go of me?
Greta!
Greta!
Wait.
-Stay, please.
-I don't understand.
Is this what you need me for?
As the bait,
so you can avenge your son's death?
-I'd like not to remember too.
-Jesus.
I'm sorry about Rafał's death.
I'm really sorry.
-It wasn't supposed to be like that.
-How was it supposed to be?
I don't know.
I don't remember.
Do you remember that at the concert
you weren't together anymore?
What do you mean?
You broke up with my son
a few days before the concert.
How do you know that?
Rafał told me. He was utterly devastated.
I don't know. If I broke up with him…
I must have had a good reason.
You appeared in a music video.
That musician, Jimmy,
-he messed with your head.
-What?
I know that Rafał went
to the concert to see you.
To make up.
Is that what happened?
I don't know what happened.
I don't remember.
Maybe if you hadn't broken up,
he'd be alive.
Sorry for the wait,
but the conference has been called off.
What does that mean, it's been called off?
Mr. Lewiński
will no longer address the fire case.
-But why?
-But we have questions!
We consider the matter closed.
We've been waiting 15 years for this.
-Thank you.
-We have questions!
-Counselor.
-We want to know the truth.
Okay…
I have to go and get the kids.
Thank you for your help, but…
I don't want your protection anymore.
Just leave me alone.
Rafał is dead and…
nothing can bring him back.
Do we have people at the school?
Keep them there.
We'll use the back exit.
They've waited 15 years.
They'd gladly tear me apart.
Stop being so dramatic.
But if anyone bothers you,
send them directly to me.
Fuck.
RECENT CALLS
Where's my money?
If I don't get it by this evening,
I'll fucking chop Ławniczak's head off.
Fine.
But now, the fee is double.
Slowly.
You'll have company.
What?
A family reunion.
She doesn't know anything.
She doesn't know.
Motherfucker, she doesn't know.
She doesn't know. You hear?
We'll see.
She doesn't know anything!
