Police dispatch, how can I help?
An operator will be right with you.
I'll explain. Just give me a chance.
Could you turn it off?
Hello?
Emergency services, how can I help?
Hania…
I want to report a suspected…
He's alive.
But no one can find out about that.
It would hurt your family the most.
No…
I'll tell you everything.
Just calm down, okay?
SEVEN MONTHS EARLIER
Do you remember
the night Maciek went missing?
- Let go of me!
- Shut up!
No!
THE HERITAGE
- Let's go to the police.
- Stop it!
She managed to escape.
She managed to escape.
She escaped. Do you hear me?
Maciek!
Hey…
Hey…
I killed him, Mom.
They won't let it go.
They'll look for him.
You have to leave, all three of you.
There's no point, Pawel.
He would know what to do.
Ola?
Is something wrong?
We have to go to the police.
If we do, Maciek will die.
Me too, probably.
Will you help us?
We can't do that.
- Maja…
- No!
Come on, Maja.
It will be just a few months.
Until we're together again.
You'll see, everything will be fine.
Pawel handled the CCTV,
and we took care of the rest.

Higher.
I've only ever tattooed numbers
on seals.
Best I can do.
Take off your clothes.
He has to be wearing them.
Pawel, hold his head.
Hold the head!
I left his car in a parking lot
in Gdansk.
No one will notice it for a long time.
Pawel…
Thank you.
Why did Dad leave everything to Maja?
Please…
He wanted to help you, I get that.
But why her?
He knew that she wouldn't be able
to sell it as a minor.
Dad didn't want to help me.
He did that because he was scared.
And he fucked me over anyway.
What was he scared of?
I'm in it with you, I'm helping.
Why did he do that?
Why was he afraid?
That campsite…
That land is soaked in blood.
It always has been.
What do you mean?
Do you know how Dad got the land?
The plan went like this:
The body will get caught in the nets.
If they find him,
it has to look like an accident.
The yacht was torn apart in the storm.
The head fell off, decomposed,
got eaten by the fish.
Johnny will probably drift off.
We need to make two holes in the bottom.
In a storm like this,
it'll be enough to sink it.
Maciek is somewhere in Sweden or Denmark.
I don't know exactly.
I didn't want to know.
- How long has this been going on?
- What?
With Ola?
Six months.
I helped her when Maciek had to escape.
Hania, I tried to talk to you,
but I felt like you…
I don't give a shit about how you felt!
You watched me bury my brother.
You watched me mourn him.
Fuck, Wojtek.
It was for Maja's safety.
Why are you shouting?
We're arguing. We're just arguing.
Nothing serious.
Go brush your teeth, I'm coming soon.
What is she doing?
She probably needs to think.
And that's why she's sailing out
on your boat? And what?
Should I put this in the log book?
Could you not write anything?
Kids.
Thank you, Czesio,
for this extract from the land register.
Yeah, me neither.
I don't know how it's possible
that someone just ripped those pages out.
But, as we can see,
the legal culture here is a lot different.
NOTARY AC
Listen, could you check
one more thing for me?
That Dzwonkowski, Wladyslaw Dzwonkowski,
when exactly did he die?
September 9.
You're staying home now, get it?
You're not going anywhere.
I don't want you to come to work at all.
Are you going to handcuff me
to the radiator, or what?
It's very important. This is my child.
But he's in my belly for now.
It's about his health.
He's harmed more
by your panic than my work.
It makes me and Wladek nervous.
It's not a good name.
We've talked about it.
I don't want to name my son "Wladek."
There are lots of other options.
No, there aren't.
It's "Wladyslaw," after my dad.
Okay.
You can go now.
Maciek, I'm sorry, but we can't make it.
We're not going to come.
We did everything
the way you wanted us to.
The land is in Pawel's hands.
Even if they wanted
to get the money back,
they already know we don't have it.
The insurance is all set.
I should receive the money in a few days.
I'll transfer half of it to your account
for a fresh start.
Without us.
I can't spend my life
running away in fear.
I don't want to be scared forever,
and I don't want our daughter
to be scared.
I'm sorry, but we wouldn't be happy.
In a few years,
when Maja gets older
and as long as it's safe,
she'll visit you there.
Now, please, let us live.
MAJA: HI, DADDY, IT'S ME
Can we talk outside?
This is my father's house.
I won't talk to you outside.
Hania…
I know I have no excuse.
I didn't plan on it.
Maciek is alive?
Where is he now?
In Denmark.
But even I don't know where exactly.
We planned to reconnect
as soon as I got the policy payout
and have a fresh start.
So… with Wojtek, it's just sex?
Or more like heartfelt talks over wine?
It's complicated.
No. It's not complicated.
Either Wojtek sleeps with you
because his wife is cold-hearted,
or he loves you.
And you're planning a future together.
He was going to tell you.
But that insurance guy
kept on sniffing around.
Hania…
- Maja, wait.
- Fuck off!
This is hard for me, too.
Fucking Wojtek is hard?
Or being a heartless bitch
who writes to her man
that she's not coming because
"she doesn't want to spend her life
running away?"
Instead of just admitting
that she's with a new guy?
That is hard.
We were supposed to be in this together,
Mom.
Family.
But you decided to be alone.
So there you have it.
Well, yes, I'm the only notary here
on the peninsula,
so I may actually know
most of Hel's residents.
Great.
You probably remember
Wladyslaw Dzwonkowski?
On September 6, 2004, you signed
a deed of sale of real estate
in the form of 50 acres of land
with a campsite on it
for 130,000 zlotys.
Can you believe the prices
back in the day?
If I recall correctly, the price matched
the market value of the property.
Right.
The seller was Wladyslaw Dzwonkowski.
The buyer, Jan Mróz.
And that took place in your office.
Probably even in this exact room.
I'm sorry, but what does that have to do
with your insurance proceedings?
I'm trying to determine that.
But what makes the case
very complex is the fact
that Mr. Wladyslaw Dzwonkowski
sadly passed away
just a few days after the transaction.
I don't know what you're implying,
but I only agreed to talk to you
as a gesture of goodwill.
I'm not required to do this.
And that goodwill just happens
to be running out.
Thank you.
You've helped me a lot.
Hey, hey, hey.
I was going to end it anyway.
Think she can tell someone?
Who?
I don't know, the police?
She hates me
and could do anything to hurt me.
But the family?
She won't hurt Pawel or Maciek.
Especially Maciek.
I don't know what I would do
without you.
Good morning.
I'd like to talk to you.
My mom works in Germany
for nine months a year.
She'll be back for Christmas.
And I won't be much help.
Alright.
Let's cut to the chase.
Your father acquired a property
with a campsite from the army
via a public tender.
Did you know that?
I was six months old when he went missing.
I don't remember him at all.
Your family didn't talk about it at home?
That's a big piece of land.
Maybe he made a deal with Johnny?
Johnny always helped my dad.
He was like a father to him.
That's what Mom said.
He got him into the army.
When they kicked him out for drinking,
he found him a job.
He also hired me at Kormoran
when money was tight.
He helped?
He helped.
Your father sold that land to Johnny
for 130,000 zlotys.
Paid in cash.
Three days after the transaction,
he went missing.
We definitely didn't have that money
at home.
Without Dad,
Mom could barely support us.
Look.
Jan Mróz testified that
he consumed alcohol with your father
until 2:00 a.m.
After that, Wladyslaw Dzwonkowski,
probably under the influence of alcohol,
decided to take his motorboat out to sea.
The motorboat was found
seven nautical miles offshore,
but your father's body
was never recovered.
I don't want to make any rash accusations,
but isn't it interesting to consider
the hypothesis
that Mróz might have lied in court?
But why?
Because your father didn't want
to sell him that land.
So Mróz killed him.
Then he staged an accident at sea
and forged all the documents.
Your father
didn't get any money from him.
DOGGIE CALLING
52-YEAR-OLD HEL MAYORAL CANDIDATE
SEDUCED A TEENAGER?
COMMENTS:
OUTRAGEOUS! DISGUSTING!
HAS SHE LOST HER MIND?
WHAT DOES SHE SEE IN HIM?
Couldn't we talk over the phone, Wera?
Hacks are sniffing around.
Who killed my father?
I don't know… Killed?
I know that he went to sea that day
and was never seen again.
You're a terrible disappointment.
Maciek has told me, but…
It might not be true, that…
Our father changed his will
because Maciek had seen something
and blackmailed him.
But at the time, he was 18
and smoked a lot of joints.
Dad was pissed off with him, they argued.
They didn't get along at all,
and maybe Maciek
just imagined all of that.
What exactly did he imagine?
That the day your dad disappeared,
he saw them together at the campsite.
They were drinking vodka
and got very drunk.
They were talking,
and then they started arguing.
And fighting.
And…
It turned brutal.
Then my father…
He was dragging the body…
Hello, boss.
What's up, Kocur? Case closed?
Boss, I've uncovered
some truly incredible leads.
The property I told you about
was transferred
to a friend of the Mróz family
via a likely rigged tender
of the Military Property Agency.
Spare me that historical bullshit.
You're handling Maciek Mróz's policy.
I understand, I know.
But this case is directly connected.
Mróz's widow is having an affair
with his sister's husband.
And it's probably him…
- Wait.
- Just…
Can you void that policy?
Yes.
I mean, the clues are strong,
but literally a few pieces are missing.
Sorry.
You're missing a brain.
The deadline for the payout
is in three days.
I'll have to wire her the whole sum.
But I need just two more days, boss.
You're coming back to Warsaw. By train.
Your hotel checkout is in half an hour.
You have to return the car
to the rental company before 3:00 p.m.
No…
Fucking hell, I don't believe it.
He was supposed to handle
one fucking thing.
Fuck!
I don't believe it!
Hello?
Dad?
Dad, is that you?
Dad, I need to tell you something
about Mom, okay?
Okay.
Send me a pin.
I love you, bye.
Hello, Ms. Mróz.
Stanislaw Kocur.
I'm working on your late father's life
insurance case.
Weird that we haven't talked yet,
isn't it?
I'm a minor.
You can't talk to me
without my mom here.
And you're not from the police,
so I don't have to answer.
"Follow the money."
That's what they say in financial crimes.
That's why
I should've talked to you first.
Leave me alone, man, okay?
It was you who got an inheritance
worth more than 20 million zlotys.
Plus, half of your father's
insurance payout.
Money follows you.
Don't you wonder how your dad died?
Because it doesn't seem
like an accident to me.
Leave me alone, or I'll go to the police
and tell them that you tried to rape me.
Nothing.
Not a fucking thing.
R.I.P. MARIA MRÓZ 1950-1996
JAN "JOHNNY" MRÓZ NAVY CAPTAIN
1945-2024
Everyone got something but me.
Not the family. Not the company.
Not a single fucking boat.
How I hate you.
How I fucking hate you.
Can you just spit it out already?
Hania.
I want this house.
And half the land.
Hania…
Pawel, you fucking mourned
our brother with me, you fish dick.
Everyone won something, got their cut.
And I didn't?
That's a bit unfair.
I want the house, two fishing boats
and half the land.
But it's in Pawel's name.
You saw the documents.
I don't give a shit
about how you make it happen.
It's not that easy.
If I don't get what I want,
I'll go to the police.
Jesus, it's my inheritance anyway.
Now you have to follow me.
Well?
Hania, I'm sorry.
- Fuck!
- I'm sorry.
- You fucking asshole!
- Hania!
Enough! Stop it!
You're all just like him.
We're family.
We should support each other.
What fucking family?
I'm out of this family.
Fuck off!
Fuck you all!
Sorry to interrupt.
That's my job.
I hereby state
that Mr. Maciek Mróz's
life insurance payout has been denied,
since his death apparently was staged.
Shit.
The case details will be reported
to the relevant institutions.
And in this case, the penal code
provides for a prison sentence for you.
And for the minor, Maja,
a correctional facility suited
to her age.
Wait.
I've got a proposal.
We can make a deal, right?
No man is an island.
We all have some debt.
And I don't mean money.
That's why when it's our turn,
we do everything to repay.
Even if it means
that we have to go along
with things we absolutely don't want.
