Ultraviolet (2017) s01e10 Episode Script

#strangeland

Aren't you wondering about what Nowak said? If he did not write the letter, then who did? You cannot argue with the facts.
Nowak got his freedom back and that is all.
Anyway, girl you are 32 years old today, and I have put a jacket on for, like, the second time in my life.
So, how about we have a drink? Let's do it! You know, it's incredible.
Last year, I was drinking some cheap booze for my birthday, and this year, I'm drinking wine that cost us a fortune.
If you miss the cheap wine, we can always go to the shop.
Not at all.
- This wine is a knock-off brand anyway.
- Stop it, now! Is it me or do they always do this when we're about to eat? Come on, they don't know when I am about to eat.
- Waldi, Waldemar - He also does not know when I'm eating.
Aren't you in the least bit interested in what it's all about? - Perhaps some killing or a murder? - No.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
This is straight out of a romantic comedy! I am going to change and you get the door.
Why aren't you answering your pho No, no, no.
Beata, it's my birthday today.
Did you bring flowers? I'm sorry to interrupt this special moment, - but he has to get back to the firm.
- Okay.
Come in.
- Why? - No idea.
Sudden call.
Well, okay.
Come in! Central Bureau of Investigation.
Inspector Stanislaw Czubak.
- Michał Holender.
- Take a seat.
Inspector Don't speak.
I'll talk.
Correct me if I get something wrong.
As far as I understand, your precinct, in cooperation with a citizens' initiative of some internet detectives, has managed to set free Zenon Nowak.
Wrongly accused of being the serial killer known as Hycel? - That's right, Inspector.
- I'll show you something.
I've seen them already.
Those photos were taken yesterday.
They show the body of Jacek Bryjak, 22 years old, brutally murdered and dismembered by the monster that you had released from prison a moment before.
A series of reprehensible mistakes have occurred on this case.
And the most severe of them was letting a group of internet amateurs lead a police investigation.
We can all see how that ended.
The whereabouts of Zenon N.
remains unknown.
However, we were able to find out that the local police cooperated with a group of amateur detectives and the evidence they collected resulted in the release of one of the most dangerous murderers in the history of Poland.
Pawel Czapski, Teraz Łódź TV.
- Hello.
- You heard the news? Yeah.
The entire station is swarming with CBI agents.
- That's why I just wanted to - Stop.
Nowak played all of us.
And now he's hunting again.
- I don't believe it's him.
- Can anybody convince you? We fucked up.
Get it? I fucked it up.
Later.
I have to tell you, honey, that you are the only person in the world - who celebrates her birthday like that.
- Thank you very much.
Unfortunately, it seems you've made the headlines.
And that is a great birthday gift.
Do you have anything for me? A bottle of champagne in the fridge.
That's exactly what I feared would happen from the very beginning.
Regina, it's not a good time for "I told you so.
" - We have to do something.
- Psychopaths are masters of manipulation.
I wasn't manipulated! Come on, guys! A witness for the prosecution was lying and set Nowak up, because he was told to do so.
The lead investigator tricked Nowak into touching the victim's keys and that's how he got his fingerprints.
And the only man who saw Hycel up close did not identify him as Nowak.
So, you think this is manipulation? All I can see is that people are trying to frame Nowak again.
No murders were committed while he was in prison.
The moment he was released, we have another victim.
Raped, with a severed head.
Just like Hycel did.
But isn't that just too convenient? Would you have killed right after being released from prison, when you were meant to spend the rest of your life in there? If that's the only thing I was thinking about while doing time.
Guilty or not, we have to find him.
And we have to do it before the CBI does.
All they care about now is calming the public.
I'll try to look for any living relatives or friends.
- He must have hidden somewhere.
- What about that letter? Letter? Well, if Nowak didn't write it, then who did? You look for Nowak and I'll take the letter to that expert.
Tomek? When you're done with those severed heads, we have a childbirth class.
POLICE We still have to wait for the autopsy results, but the time of death was established as five or six days ago.
Beginning of the week.
Of course.
Monday.
When Nowak was released from prison.
- Did you find him? - We're trying to.
They don't even know where he went after he was released? No.
In normal circumstances, you and your boss would be out of here.
Celiński would have done it for sure.
But it's one of those all-hands-on-deck situations.
I want to see Nowak here by tomorrow, understood? Yes.
Sir, I wanted to suggest something.
The group of internet freaks, the UV, Mrs.
Serafin and the rest of them you know they were helping Nowak.
Maybe they know where he's hiding.
And if we put them under surveillance they might take us right to him.
Okay.
Do it.
After all the recent news, I've started wondering if I made a mistake in my diagnosis.
Maybe Nowak really did fool us all? It's good that you brought a copy of this letter here.
It couldn't have been written by an anonymous benefactor who wanted to draw your attention to injustice.
So, who wrote it? I was able to get to some of Nowak's handwritten letters, and the author of this letter even managed to forge his handwriting.
That's way too much for just a helping hand.
I have also noticed something else.
Listen.
"I didn't kill Leszek Tarnowski, or Pawel Mrowiec, or Jacek Langiewicz.
" And so on.
He mentions them all by name.
But did you know that Langiewicz is just a missing person from Bialystok? He was never found, and he has never been connected to Hycel's case.
Wait, what? This letter was written by the only person who knew that Jacek Langiewicz had been murdered.
This letter was written by Hycel.
The real one.
He wrote this to help get Nowak out of prison.
Why? What does he want? The same thing you do.
For the truth to come out.
He wants to get caught.
Not that it's surprising, but I didn't find any traces of Nowak's relatives.
Nothing on social networking sites, either.
- Nowak has no profiles on any of them.
- But we did find something interesting.
Take a look at that, Ola.
I'm sending you a link.
- What is that? - Hycel's fan club.
Dozens of men from around the world, all obsessed with our butcher.
They want to catch him like we do? Not as much as they want to sleep with him.
Hybristophilia.
A perversion that makes one attracted to brutal criminals.
Very romantic.
Check out that one! "Zenon, if you're reading this, write to me.
I understand your loneliness.
I was lonely my whole life.
" He wrote letters to prison, to Nowak.
And was boasting on the forum that Hycel wrote him back.
Just him.
No one else.
I find it hard to believe that Nowak was writing back to a creep.
Then I don't think you've ever been really lonely.
The rest of his posts suggest that they never talked about the murders.
Just thoughts on human nature, childhood memories and such.
Listen! That guy has been living in Poland for the last five years.
His IP address points to your hometown, Łódź.
He moved there to study at the Film School, fell in love with the local folklore.
So, if Nowak was looking for someone to help him Ladies, you are the best! Will you text me his address? Hello! Mr.
Liam? Liam, dear, why are you keeping the lady outside? Ask her in.
Thank you! Good morning.
Ola Serafin.
Good morning.
Karol Augustyn, nice to meet you.
I'm off to a cafe to meet friends and gossip.
And you, young man, treat the lady to some tea.
Marmalade is in the pantry.
- I am from Ultraviolet.
- I know, the internet detectives.
I saw your picture on the news.
They didn't speak too highly of you.
Yes, I know, but I'm trying to improve myself.
- Would you like some tea? - Yes, I'd love some.
Ceylon leaf tea or Japanese green? Nice collection.
How can you sleep around that? My host is a fan of modern art.
I don't get it at all.
Listen, I have to ask you something.
There's something urgent.
- About what? - I need your help.
Desperately.
With what? I'm looking for Hycel.
And what can I do for you? He needs protection, you know? I think he already has it and it's quite good.
I don't think so.
If I found you, so will the police.
They could be here in a couple of hours, or just a moment.
They think a little slow but they do think after all.
Please, continue.
Neither of us want him to be locked up again, right? Liam, do you really think I want to hurt him? He's free thanks to me.
I'm begging you.
Please! What's your plan? - There he is.
- Easy.
- It's you! - We can't stay here.
We must leave for a safer place.
The police will be here any moment.
But - Okay! - Take your things Thanks.
- Miss Ola, I - I know.
You didn't do it.
Don't worry.
You're safe with me.
I'll drive you to the hotel for now, no one will find you there.
Fuck! Fuck! Police! Put your hands on the dashboard! Police! Don't move! - Unfasten your seat belt.
- Come on, Beata! Get out.
Just don't overdo it! - Beata, please! - Don't say a word.
Come on! Listen Assisting in the escape of a man suspected of such crimes.
How stupid must you be to do that? I didn't break the law.
I want to go home.
- And I want to talk to Holender.
- I am not a genie granting wishes.
Bring Michał in.
I won't talk to anyone else.
- Did you assist in the escape? - Bring Michał in.
Did you assist in the escape? You're free to go.
Did you hear me? Maybe next time you'll get me.
On Saturday night a waiter saw Bryjak walk out of the Rainbow night club with an unknown older man.
His testimony was consistent with the autopsy results we just got.
Bryjak was killed late Saturday night or early Sunday morning.
It wasn't Nowak, because he was released on Monday.
We were there.
He was supposed to be released on Friday and that information ran in the media.
But there were delays, some paperwork was missing and hence his Monday release.
But if so, how could you suspect him at all? Before we got the final autopsy report and questioned that witness, we had no reason to believe that the victim was murdered two days before Nowak's release from prison.
- The murderer didn't know.
- Didn't know what? That Nowak hadn't been released yet.
Because that's why he helped to set Nowak free.
So, Nowak would take the blame for one more kill.
You should contact Professor Rolak.
He's written so much about the case.
He knew from the beginning that Nowak is innocent.
- Okay, we'll check it.
- Ola! My recidivist daughter.
We were about to start baking a cake with a file inside.
Hello.
Mr.
Zenon! The killer is most probably being fueled by a trauma from the past.
He was most likely hurt by a person who was higher than him in some kind of hierarchy.
Thus, the overwhelming need to be in control, to feel powerful.
He felt all that when he was taking lives.
What's more, each and every victim was his revenge for all the depravities he had been subjected to.
Based on victimology, I can assume that he started killing when he was a little over twenty.
- So, today he's about 50.
- Yes, he could be about 50.
Sorry.
So, you're looking for a wealthy man who's living a luxurious life.
He occupies, or occupied, a prestigious position which provided him with a sense of power.
In the years between the murders he was able to find fulfilment in a lawful way.
Unfortunately, the psychological barrier in his mind, that kept him from killing, broke for some reason.
You should expect him to keep killing, and playing you simultaneously.
How sure are you about that profile, Professor? Human nature hasn't surprised me many times in my life, unfortunately.
There is one more thing I forgot to mention.
In my opinion, the nature of a human being who has murdered so many has to be very dark.
He might be fascinated by ugliness and suffering.
It may be that Hycel is obsessed with it.
Maybe Karol Augustyn, the older gentleman whose attic Liam was hiding Nowak in.
He has a serious collection of quite terrifying paintings.
He is rich.
The age is right.
He's occupied or still occupies a high position in the scouting movement.
- Still not enough.
- Maybe it's worth checking him out? By the way, police around the globe have been using profiling for decades, and you didn't even turn to a specialist.
Our procedures No, no, no! You stay here! Sir, put it down! I was locked up for 18 years because of you! - I've never killed anybody! - Calm down! Get out of here! Look, I'm putting the gun down.
See? I'm not armed now.
We don't have evidence that Mr.
Augustyn has been killing.
What? You sent me a message that it was him! What message? We never sent you anything.
- Put that down.
- I'm gonna fuck you up! Sir, please! That little shit - Who are you talking about? - That Swedish cherub.
That goddamn rascal! He brought it on me.
He wouldn't let me into my own cellar he was on the phone all the time.
Check him out! The problem is that when you started the killing spree, his parents weren't even planning on having him.
First of all, I don't think we're on first name terms.
We haven't been properly introduced.
I am a decorated Polish scout and I demand respect.
Secondly, I'm the victim of an attack.
I was terrorized in my own family home.
I need professional care.
Psychological care.
And you're treating me like a dog! Thirdly, I have sinned.
We all did.
But I swear on my mother's grave I've never killed anyone.
Fuck! Czubak finally lost his cool.
He denies everything and we have no evidence against him.
What about that Swede? Liam Persson? He watched too many crime series and just keeps asking for a lawyer.
What about Nowak? He's afraid he's going back to prison for attacking Augustyn.
I don't blame him.
Persson won't be pressing charges.
He still adores his Hycel.
But I can't say the same about that scout.
- You think it wasn't him? - What do we have on him? The fact that he's over 60, collects weird paintings, and that Nowak was hiding at his place behind jars of preserves? We still have that witness from many years ago! - Rogalski? - Not him.
Wisniewski.
The only one who saw Hycel and survived to tell us the story.
- Bring him here for a line up.
- He will not want to come.
He's terrified his wife might find out what he really likes.
- We'll convince him.
- I can't convince him.
Who knows? Maybe in really tight pants Yeah, right.
Or in lace.
But who texted Nowak about Augustyn being a suspect? Because it wasn't one of us.
Excuse me, sir.
There is a gentleman here to see you.
Good day.
Adrian.
Adrian Szmit.
We met during one of your business trips.
We didn't have a chance to finish our business talk, but I had a feeling that you were interested in my offer.
- Bring us some water, please.
- Of course.
I already helped you.
You were supposed to forget about it! Unfortunately, it's not over.
You probably heard the news.
That's not my problem anymore.
I did all I could.
Yes, you did a lot, it's because of you the innocent man is out of jail.
Today you can do something more and help us, and all the other future potential victims.
Only you can end this.
- Unfortunately, I can't.
I'm scared.
- I understand but if you don't face it now, you'll be running from it for the rest of your life.
Do you have the strength to do that, Ludwik? He'll do it again.
He'll keep doing it.
We have to stop him.
Take your time.
No.
What? I don't recognize any of those men.
I mean, none of them is the man who kidnapped and tried to kill me.
It's been a long time.
Yes, I know it's been a long time, but I will never forget Hycel's eyes.
- I'm sorry, but can I go home now? - Of course.
This way, sir.
It's the most pathetic, most pitiful police precinct I've ever seen.
You're amateurs.
I've never encountered anything like this in my entire career.
You're wandering in the dark with no evidence grabbing at every ridiculous theory that comes your way, arresting innocent people and complicating things even further.
You should give your badges back.
All of you! Every single clue you followed, which came from the internet weirdos, those stupid amateurs, turned out to be a huge pile of shit! Inspector, sir, I hate to interrupt, but we have a meeting with Professor Rolak in a moment.
With that second-rate profiler? That's what I'm talking about! That's a waste of time again, but you won't fucking listen! Hey! Change your tone! If I find out that those Violets, or whatever their name is, are still working on that case, including that nosy girly I'll order my people to arrest them immediately for obstructing the police investigation and aiding a criminal.
What do you mean? I just came here to Please, just go home, Ola.
And don't call me when I'm at work.
I'm not allowed to talk to you.
I might get into trouble.
We'll talk later.
- But, Michał! Do you understand - Miss, Ola! I'm not late, am I? - Good morning, professor.
- Hi! Shall we go in together? I'm so sorry we've dragged you here Excuse me just a moment.
This is the worst week of my life.
Go home.
I can't.
The professor will be here shortly.
Won't you answer it? - I'd have to arrest her.
- Michał Holender.
Please, leave a message.
Michał, I'm begging you, pick up! I'm tailing Rolak! Wisniewski peed his pants when he saw him.
He's Hycel! We were driving down Maratonska Street, we've just passed Okolowice.
Call me back, Michał! So, you haven't got to cuffs yet? So, you're a fan of handcuffs? Go home.
Next time she calls, pick up.
Handcuffs are fun! NO MOBILE NETWORK VIEW 180 Hi, it's Ola! Leave your message.
- You've got one new message.
- Michał, I'm begging you, pick up! So, here we are.
Can you feel it? No electromagnetic waves whatsoever.
But you've already been here, so you know this.
It's a beautiful place for me.
For you not so much.
You are helpless here.
Because you really don't know how to do much else other than making calls.
Or typing.
And here Well, there's no signal here.
And a completely different set of rules.
Not bad.
It's you.
Hycel.
That nomenclature of yours.
Hycel.
Hycel.
Hycel! I don't like this term.
Take it.
Take it! You'll feel safer.
Calves will never be butchers.
You won't run away.
You have to know.
You won't run away, because if you do I will drive away and disappear.
And you'll never understand "Why, why?" Why did I do these things? The need to get an answer is stronger than fear.
Don't be so sad.
You did catch a monster after all.
Meaning who? The scout team leader, Karol Augustyn! A Polish scout! He made me this way.
You wouldn't have done it if you didn't want to.
- It's not about him now.
- Maybe not.
What about my difficult childhood? That doesn't absolve me? No! I know, many children go through this and do not end up as killers.
So, maybe Maybe it's because I witnessed a rape when I was visiting my grandparents in the country? Or maybe it's that I just like it.
And no police theory can describe the pleasure I take in it.
Why did you start again now? I don't know.
No idea.
For years, I was sitting quietly marking papers and suddenly a surprise! I met him accidentally at the store.
A beautiful boy.
His smell, his blond hair it awakened something in me.
Something that had been sleeping.
Come in.
You've got the knife, I've got nothing.
Come in.
You're incapable of killing another human being.
You don't have that mystery in you.
What do you want? I don't know.
It's not always clear to me.
And that's what I like the most.
That's something you can't foresee, you internet whizzes.
Human fantasies and improvisation.
I set Nowak free with your help.
That was the plan.
He is out, I do what I have to do and he goes back behind bars.
That's funny, right? And you helped me find my old scouting instructor.
I couldn't believe my luck that I would have the opportunity to kill Augustyn with Nowak's hand.
So, I texted him as a UV member.
I already was a UV member, wasn't I? Let me go! What about now? What's the plan? I couldn't wait for you to find out who I really was.
But I think I love life too much for that.
- And now you will return my knife.
- No! Yes, you will.
You weren't able to use it anyway.
And I will start improvising.
Michał! Michał! Can you hear me? Wait just one moment! Can you hear me? Hello! - Thank you.
- Bye.
Wow, there's a new sheriff in town.
Darling, you were so brave Ola, be strong!!! Congrats from the newbie! Michał - Hi.
- Hi.
- Sleeping beauty has woken up.
- Yes! No, no, don't do that.
Michał? Mr.
Holender Flying Sleeping Subtitle translation by Marcin Kupiecki
