Odwilż

MINSK, BELARUS 3:30 A.M.

Listen, Lea, they're coming for you.

-You got five minutes to get out. -What?

You'll get a ride that leaves from Minsk at 5 in the morning.

Don't take too much. No suitcases. Got it?

You have to be there. It's your last chance.

Understood.

Ani?

Ani.

Wake up.

Mom.

-How do you feel, sweetie? -Bad.

All right, listen. We have to run. Get dressed.

-Police! Open up! - Come on. Come on.

Hurry! We have to hurry. Run!

They're gone.

She fucking escaped.

SZCZECIN, POLAND 2 DAYS LATER

Radio Szczecin.

The war in Ukraine and closing the border to Belarus

have caused a growing migrant crisis.

Today, hundreds of people from the Middle East

are camping out in forests by the Polish border.

These people are looking for a way to get to Europe at any cost.

Unfortunately, human traffickers make a lot of money out of this plight

by providing their old smuggling routes.

Today I'm joined by Mark Pec, the captain of a cargo ship where...

Trepa, Trepa.

-Trepa. -

This is Trepa. Go ahead.

We'll reach the Goclaw Marina in an hour.

Over and out.

- - You mean, "over and in"?

Hey, Hania. Wake up.

-Hm? -

Just pretending.

The sandwiches are ready.

Let's go.

I'm kind of scared I'll forget the steps.

So I guess Zuzia's going to have to help me.

Well, I'd feel lucky if I were you.

I mean, it's a good thing to have a friend that remembers a lot.

You don't have to worry, it will be okay.

What's he doing?

Watch out!

- What's your problem? -

Are you okay?

Follow him.

-No, come on. It's-- -Do it.

I really don't want to be late to school, Mom.

-No, you won't be late. -You always say that, but then I am.

- -

What was that about?

-What? -It was us you cut off.

License and registration, please.

I'll go run it.

Please step out of the vehicle.

- Mama, I don't feel good. - Shh... Be quiet.

- Zero, zero to 123. - Zero, zero, go ahead.

We got a suspicious truck headed to the docks.

Belarusian plates, 3-0-2-7-K-T-4...

-What happened to your face? -Huh?

That. What happened there?

Permission to open the container.

- Give me a minute. -Ah, nothing.

What do you have here?

This? A container.

Yes, I know that, but what's inside of it?

Not sure. Um, they loaded it over there.

And I'm taking it to the docks right now.

Can you open it for me?

-Hm? -Can you open these doors up?

We've got an alert on those plates. Let him go.

- Really? -We're gonna be late again, Uncle.

- Yeah. Let him go. -All right, understood.

The code? I don't know.

-Zawieja, we're letting him go. -What?

Yeah. I got to say, it must be your lucky day.

-You're free to leave. -What?

You may go now.

Just be safer when you drive.

Who radioed that truck in?

Kasia. HQ told us to let him go, so we let him go.

But who is it that's watching that truck?

The CBI.

Put on your seatbelts.

Well, at least my hunch was right.

Like always.

Õ Don't you know I'm no good for you? Õ

Õ I've learned to lose you Can't afford to Õ

Õ Tore my shirt To stop you bleeding Õ

Õ But nothing ever Stops you leaving Õ

Õ Quiet when I'm coming home And I'm on my own Õ

Õ I could lie Say I like it like that Õ

Õ Like it like that Õ

Õ I could lie Say I like it like that Õ

Õ Like it like that Õ

Õ Quiet when I'm coming home And I'm on my own Õ

THE THAW

She's been through a lot. You've seen her file.

She couldn't deal with her husband's suicide.

However, she was able to solve Strzelecki and Kosinska's cases.

-She's been going to therapy. - Hello.

She's got OHS approval and her gun license back.

How's it going?

Can she handle this?

Yes.

Hello.

Oh! Detective Zawieja.

-Detective Trepa, Crime Division. -Hello.

Chief Inspector Szymanski, he's from the CBI.

Why don't you have a seat?

We're currently running an operation against human traffickers.

The trafficking in Szczecin is being coordinated by this guy.

Andrzej Lanski.

Ever since the arrest of the disgraced District Prosecutor

Michal Strzelecki,

there have been a handful of incarcerated criminals

who have had their convictions overturned.

One of them, Andrzej Lanski, the alleged crime boss,

has served six years of the life sentence that was given to him.

Today, he is being released.

First off, I just wanna say

that I'm happy justice has finally won.

Now spending time with my family is all I want.

So we suspect that the next shipment will leave for Sweden in 48 hours.

The time and the route, that's what we need.

Okay, but aren't you able to just raid the docks?

We don't have any men or cameras there.

Going in blind like that could mean wasting six months of hard work.

We need someone inside to help us.

Oliwier Galewski. You know him, right?

Affiliated with the Lanski brothers.

We've been watching him for some time now.

Him or me?

Him.

His sister is your daughter's classmate,

and you're friends with his mother Elzbieta Galewski.

What I need is an informant. You'll recruit him.

Recruit my friend's son?

The truth is, I've got enough to put him away.

But I don't want the kid.

I want Lanski.

So then?

Will you help us?

Wonderful.

By the way, you have a good instinct.

That truck you reported earlier,

our team has been following it ever since it left Belarus.

So people were inside there, but we weren't allowed to search it?

The thing is, arresting the driver could have meant, well,

saving only a few people from their fate.

But taking down the whole group would save hundreds.

I don't need to explain this to experienced officers like you two.

Or do I?

I'll see you later.

-Bye. -Bye.

What charges can they get the kid for?

Drug dealing and possession is what they said.

He'd go straight to prison.

What are you thinking now?

That I feel sorry for his mother.

If you really wanna help out him and his mother, get him to cooperate.

Okay.

Fuck me, I can already hear all the comments at school.

"Hania's mom arrested Zuzia's brother!"

Maybe you shouldn't be dealing with this, if you don't want to.

I'm not a fan of Szymanski.

And the way he shrugged off that truck...

Hey, why don't we check out that gas station?

-We'll be late for Hania's play. -It will only be five minutes.

I need to check something.

-Good afternoon. - Hello.

-Hi. -We're with the city police.

-You've got CCTV here? -Recording? Yeah.

We're going to need to see

any footage you have recorded from earlier today.

- Yeah, that's him. - Mm...

Can we see the receipt for whatever he purchased?

- I'll look it up. -Mm...

Chips, cola, water, painkillers, and sanitary pads.

So that means I was right.

Szymanski knew there were people in there.

And now they're going to be smuggled out.

We don't have much time.

Why am I not surprised to hear you say that?

[gentle piano music playing over speakers]

GRANDFATHER'S DAY

Bravo, Hania!
