"If we weren't mortal, we couldn't cry."

Ramón Gómez de la Serna

Iwona!

Iwona!

Can you hear me?

Iwona, wait...

- Let go!
- You stinking bum!

Iwona...

Come on...

You bitch!

Mom?



I'm taking the kids.

What?

I filed for divorce.
At our municipality.

Daddy was just kidding, sonny.

Daddy was just kidding.
Come here.

Where you gonna go?

Back to your mother's?
Again?

To your mother's?

I'll go to Sławek's.

Come on, mom, let's go home.

To Sławek's.

To Sławek's.

Morning!

I wanna go home.



Mom.

Go to fucking hell!

But the kids stay!

Go ahead.

The kids...

Stay!

Iwona...

Iwona!

Iwona!

Excuse me,
how to get to the highway?

- What are you doing?
- Give me a lift!

- Give me a lift, man!
- Fuck off!

Fuck off!

Iwona...

Stop!

Come on!

Hey!

Jesus, there are children there!
Sir!

He's running away!

Call me back.

You're listening to that?

Why?

That's dope!

Are you really
moving to the city?

I heard you'll be
a commissioner.

You'd be bored to death around here.
Nothing ever happens.

Come on, kid...

What?
I like to get some action.

Are you always so calm, officer?

Get your hat right.

Get down to work, Mr Relaxed.
Off you go.

Morning.
Officer Makowski, District Police.

- Move your vehicles out of the way.
- Sure.

Move your vehicle, please.

Thank you.

Block the road,
I'll go see the driver.

- What's the status?
- We need backup.

Piotrek!

Paweł!

Wake up!
We need help!

- 911, what's your emergency?
- 37 here. We need an ambulance.

Bożena?
Do we have a free unit?

For that accident.

All right.

It's on its way.

Who's the driver?

- We're from that car.
- We just came here.

We saw the ambulance and the car,
we wanted to help.

But there's nobody there.
It's empty.

Can you confirm that?

We stopped behind him.
We're going to my grandma's.

37 here.
We need more men.

Was I supposed to stay?

That's every tabloid's wet dream.

I don't know if they're alive.

I think one of them is dead.

Don't fucking yell at me!
Remember who is covering for me?

No, nobody saw me.
It's the middle of nowhere.

Finally!
No, I haven't called the boss.

You're the one to call
in those situations, right?

What do you mean, no?

Hello?

Fuck!

Paweł!

- What's the status?
- Help me!

- Give her hydroxyzine.
- Save my kids!

- Save my kids!
- Easy.

There. Easy.
Calm down.

Easy.

It's all right.

How is she?

A hard stomach...

- Call for the helicopter.
- Okay.

I think her spleen burst.

There, there.

Easy.
Calm down.

- Easy.
- My kids...

Quiet now.

It'll be all right.

Kid?
Run those plates for me.

- What is it?
- A hit-and-run.

Really?

- Did you see what happened?
- No, they did.

- Can you describe the driver?
- Those little kids...

- He killed them and ran!
- Calm down.

Continue.

- I saw him.
- You did?

- A young guy.
- Calm down, will you?

- Calm down.
- Continue.

About 30.
A fancy-schmancy type.

- I called after him, but he run away.
- That way?

Yeah, that way.

- Right, Bożena?
- Those poor kids...

- Poor little babies...
- Calm down.

Come on, stop crying.

Where are you?

- Almost there.
- Okay. Park on the other side.

Okay.

You need more sleep, princess?

We all wake up early here.
You'll get used to it.

Eyes on the road.

Another police car?

Why so many?

One here, one over there.

Hey, doll face!

What do we have?

A hit-and-run.

Tough shit.
Any roadkill?

Listen...
We gotta find him.

Find who?

- We're not waiting for the old man?
- Base, copy.

What is it?

They can't find the Audi.

Wait for the info.

All right.

Hey!

What are you doing?
Are you blind?

- Easy! I'm driving away.
- So drive!

Faster!
Go on.

Go on.

- How many guys have you got?
- Four, why?

- The driver run away.
- We don't do chases.

I need two.
He can't be far.

Get the sorbent first, Tomek.

Wait!
How is she?

A helicopter's coming for her.

- What's the status?
- We need you to hold the drip.

You're alive?

Hey!

Listen, we need to get inside.

Inside the Audi?
Aren't we waiting for the old man?

- Get back.
- Am I in the way?

- I won't ask again, sir.
- Sir? I'm Johnny.

- Calm down, Missy.
- Hey, man!

- Get back.
- Give me your number.

- Hey, doll face...
- What's with her?

- Guys, can one of you get here?
- Film this.

- Jump up!
- Are you filming her?

Is there a problem?

Sławek!

Is this funny?

Is this funny?

- Let me go, pig!
- Is it?

Enough, let him go.

Are you okay, Sławek?

Come in, 37.

Over.

We run the plates.
It's a government car.

Don't do anything.
The Chief's on his way.

I'll just go back there.

I'll just go back there and...

And what?

Adam, are you listening?

I am, I'm listening.

Get back there and wait.

Please.

You wanna get rid of me.

Adam, stop panicking.
Do it, for me.

I'm not panicking.

What should I say?

If you throw me under the bus,
I'll take you down with me.

No way.
Get your ass over here.

Come on, kid!

I told you not to touch it.

Turn it off.

I said, turn it off!

He's seen too many movies.

Open the trunk.

Don't leave any prints in there.

Jennifer.

What's that?

Here.
Just remember to say your prayers.

JENNIFER
FUN TIMES!

Clever.

You should be a graphic designer,
not a cop.

Damn, it's hot today!

Here it comes.

Clean up this mess.

Hi, Chief!

What do we have here?

A mess.
Dead bodies, no driver.

Did you secure the parameter?

Don't just stand here
like a hooker on a curb.

Wait!

Where's Makowski?

Come in, Sławek.

- Sławek, copy.
- Muniek!

I'll go.

- Hi.
- Morning.

Nice day...

- It could've been.
- Yeah.

Get those people out of here,
they'll trample all over us.

I'm on it.

- Morning.
- What is that?

That's...
That's an Audi.

We decided to investigate and...

- Go in.
- Go in? Why?

- Who ordered that?
- I mean...

There was a hit-and-run, so...

Get back.

- What's your problem? A dry spell?
- Get back.

The old man wants to talk to you.

What are you doing?

- What the fuck are you doing?
- We gotta find him.

I know.
But not like that, dammit.

- He didn't even fucking slow down!
- Enough of that Texas Ranger attitude.

They were my family.

My cousin's kids.

Sławek...

We're gonna get him my way.

Go, help the new girl.

Did you hear me?

I don't care it's Sunday morning.

I need a psychologist here.

Do you understand?

What?

I don't fucking care it's 60 km.

Get his ass over here.

- We're losing her...
- Now!

Get the oxygen!

Adrenaline.

He didn't help them.

I've never seen anything like this.

What a world.

Stop taking pictures, sir.
Please step back.

Sir, do you know
who run those poor kids over?

Sir, please stop taking pictures.

Step back, everyone.

But...

Jola!

There's been a horrible accident.

Please step back.

It's the Matyses.

- It's the Matyses.
- Dear Lord!

Jesus Christ!

Look, that's Michał.
Lord have mercy...

Michał...

Don't go over there.

Michał...

The Matyses...
Yours...

The Matyses...

Michał...

- Don't go there!
- Sir, please step back.

...29, 30.

Fibrillation.
Clear.

Please step back, sir.

- Let him through!
- Step away from the tape!

- Step back.
- Let him through!

Let him through!

16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23,

- 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.
- Fibrillation. Clear!

Iwona...

Get away from her!

Leave her alone!

Iwona!

...29, 30.

Fibrillation.
Clear!

Asystole.
Go on.

Mouth-to-mouth and compression.

We still got asystole.
That's it.

What have you done to her?

What have you done to her?

- Easy.
- Calm down, sir.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Sir, how much did you drink?

Give him half a dose.

Calm down.

You motherfucker!

Motherfucker!

Do it!

- Hold him.
- Stick it in.

Done.

Hold him.

Easy now.
It's all right.

I'm changing this fucking job.

Eternal rest grant unto them,
o Lord Almighty.

And let perpetual light
shine upon them.

May they rest in peace.

Okay, thanks.

- Grzesiek!
- Hey!

Hey!

- When will you open the road?
- We're working here.

- So open one lane.
- Get lost, or you'll get a ticket.

Get lost, I said!

Come here!

Get the fire guys to cover that wreck.
I don't want any scoops here.

Hey!

- Chief?
- What now?

- I ...
- Let's get him.

What did I tell you, Sławek?
Get back there!

Calm down.

Kid, come here.

Sławek!
Fuck!

Sławek...
Turn it off, for fuck's sake!

Hey!
What are you doing?

Get away from my car.

Stop it!

What are you doing?

Did you hear that?
Calm the fuck down!

- ID.
- Shut up!

- My ID!
- Grzesiek, come here.

- Where are they?
- In my jacket.

Go away!
I'm telling you, go away!

What are you doing?

- Give me that.
- No!

Stop it!

Calm down!

- Enough!
- Calm down, man!

Go to the car and file a report.

Go with him.

You are detained
pending investigation.

You will be tested
for psychoactive drugs.

- Not without my attorney.
- In this case...

I refuse to be tested
without my attorney present!

- Chief...
- Not now!

- Let's reach and understanding first.
- Right.

Grant them eternal rest

Jesus, our good Lord

Grant them eternal rest

Sławek...

I need to talk to him.

Guys, got a light?

There are shoes there.

Shoes and clothes lying around.

Uncle, look.

- It's that moron from TV!
- Which one?

The one who had
girl trouble last year.

- The government guy.
- The celebrity.

Yeah, that's him.

They won't do shit to him.
Put him in a madhouse at best.

- What happened?
- Nothing, don't go over there, Józek.

What happened?

- They blocked the road.
- There was an accident.

- Little kids died.
- What do you mean, died?

We don't know anything yet.

Have you seen Michał?

- He run over there.
- He did?

Gienek.
Tell me what to do, will you?

Keep him there for now.

Maybe I'll get him a doughnut too?

I can't do anything
before I hear from the top.

People will take to the streets.
I'll get the chop for that.

Just before the fucking retirement!

I can't do shit.
You know the procedures.

See you at the grill?

- Muniek?
- Sure.

What do you want?

From the Audi.

- Did it record the accident?
- Yes.

There's more.
Look at this, Chief.

Do you know anything?

Here's the Chief,
maybe he'll know.

- What's the problem?
- What's going on there?

- We are investigating.
- Were kids involved?

- I can't say anything.
- I'm just asking about kids.

- I still can't say anything.
- I heard it's my grandchildren.

- It must be tough, I know.
- Who is it?

Who said it was the Matyses?

What do you mean, not sure?

Michał...

Cousin...

Iwona and I ...

I loved her.

I loved her.

Motherfucker.

They'll let him go.

They'll just let him go.

- Let's go.
- There he is.

- Where is he?
- He's there, I swear.

Confess and we'll close the case.

Everyone will see you
fucking a hooker on the hood.

What do you want?

- You won't be able to you play it.
- Right, I won't.

I can't.

As you wish.

- I'll tell the papers.
- You have a family, right?

I'm sure you do.

Be careful.

You don't get it, do you?

There's no way out of it.
You'll go down too.

- We'll see.
- Hey!

Wait!
For fuck's sake!

Wait!

Get up!

- Fucking punk!
- Good!

Die, cocksucker!

- Get out of there!
- Murderer!

Stop hiding!

Get me a paramedic, now!

I'm gonna fucking kill you!

Give me your gun.

- Michał...
- Give me your gun.

- These are our neighbors!
- I understand, but...

This is a civilized country.
All in due time.

Calm down,
we'll know everything soon.

- They'll just rip the tape off.
- Calm down and back away.

Stupid woman.

They'll just make it all go away!

Prosecutors, judges,
the whole clique!

- Are you all stupid?
- Let him through!

Hurry up, guys!
Move it!

Come on!

Go!

Go home!

Take that hose away,
you fucking murderer!

- What?
- You got him.

Muniek, what are the fucking orders?

Go home!

Come at me, faggot!
Go on!

Go for it!

Get lost!

Now!

Hose them!

Sławek...

Hit me.

Hit me.

Don't move.

Head straight.

Up.

Get out.

Get out.

- Calm down, sir!
- Get out!

- Calm down.
- Get out!

- Get up.
- No.

Get up.

- Easy.
- On your knees.

On your knees!

I'll pay.

- I'll pay.
- Turn around.

- Turn around!
- Help!

It was an accident.

It was an accident.

- It was an accident.
- You got kids?

- You got kids?

I did.

Hands over your head.

You'll get compensation.
You'll have everything.

What's your name?

What's your name?

Adam.

Adam what?

Adam Nowak.

Adam Nowak.

Adam Nowak.

- What's going on?
- Let's go!

Stop!
Stay back!

- Kid!
- Jesus...

Lean on me.

Move away.

Keep breathing, head low.

Chief.

To the car, now!

Move it!

I'm representing my client
on behalf of the government.

- Let go!
- Back off!

You will go down for it.
I'll report it!

Jesus Christ.

Some trouble you made, Adam.

A shitstorm two months
before the election.

From now on, you shut up
and let me take care of it.

Sign it.

Those brats run out in front of you.

You couldn't stop,
we'll swap the brakes.

You were overcome with emotions,

so you had a memory lapse
and fled the accident site.

We can get you out of it.
Sign here.

Go!

Step away, everyone!
Go back!

Step back!

Disperse!

Step back, sir!

Officer!
A man is dying.

Get him out of there!

Murderer!

Copy!

Why is there no police on the site?

- Stop filming.
- Why do you want us to stop?

Get him!

We need to get him out of here.

Hello?

Send me more backup!

Adam!

Film that guy!

Let him go!

Calm down, everyone!

Listen!

- Hey!
- What?

Go on, say it!

- Use your immunity!
- Murderer!

- Did you cause the accident?
- Tell us!

Say it!

- Local news, tell us.
- What did you do?

- I ...
- Get down here!

It was me.

I did it all...

Now he's crying.

- Murderer!
- Say something!

Fucking bandit!

- What is that?
- Say something!

Whose picture is it?
On your phone?

Say something or get down!

Motherfucker!

Get him down!
Hang him!

Punch him in the mug!

Look over there!

Fuck off!

- He's got a gun!
- Up there! Do you see it?

- Kill him!
- Do it for what he did!

- We'll get justice.
- Shoot!

Shoot him!

Do it!

A death for a death!

Can we go lower?

Let's try landing again.

A hard day's work.
Right, honey?

Yes, I know.

Just a minute.

Shit.

- Look.
- What?

- A helicopter.
- Who cares. Let's turn back.

- We're going.
- Look, see the ambulance?

- Let's go back.
- Yeah.

We're going back.
Wonder what happened here.

We're back to talk to our guest
about a unique phenomenon

which the media
has been talking about recently.

Our listeners would like to know
what this explosion means for us.

Is the end of the world coming?

You don't have to worry,
at least for a few million years.

That's reassuring.

The supernova is, indeed,
a powerful destructive force.

But the explosion
is also a new, fascinating beginning.

Before the break you told us
that a supernova is a dying star.

Just like humans,
stars are born, live, and die.

How does their end looks like?

This metaphor is very close
to the nature of this process.

It begins inside the star.

When it runs out of fuel
and can no longer create pressure

to balance out the gravity
that is squeezing it...
