#BringBackAlice (2023): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript

Come on. You can relax.

A few hours of community service,
no criminal record.

You just have to strike a deal,
otherwise, you're facing five years.

Wait.
You know those weren't my pills.

And you can prove that?

Once,
we could have handled that quietly,

but in light of Father's situation,
nobody wants to be involved.

- Just give them a name.
- I don't have one.

I don't know who planted it
or who sells it.

You better find out.

Only then will they close the case,
otherwise, you go to prison.



And neither I nor Father
can help you.

Come, now. Keep your chin up.
It'll be okay.

Hi, I'm Tomek.
I'm Weronika's brother.

Ala!

- No!
- Ala.

Don't you have classes
you could skip?

Kudos, it's about time
you stopped taking his shit.

Sit down.

Luka says, give them a dealer's name
and there'll be no case.

- Dad, they weren't my drugs.
- Bullshit!

It doesn't matter whose they were.

Take the deal and give them a name.

I want this case closed.
It must be closed.

- Do you want me to lie?
- Fuck, Mikey!



Do what must be done.
I used to think we were a team.

Just give that name.
What's so hard to understand?

Mikey, think for once,
about Stanford,

your future, about Alicja.

We broke up.

- Mikey!
- I need a shower.

I'd ask how it's going,
but I can already tell.

The matter is ongoing.

I heard you and Mikey...

- I need to talk to him.
- He's been under a lot of stress.

Listen.

It may not matter to you anymore,
but help him make the right decision.

Mikey is 18.
He can make his own decisions.

All the worse for the case.
He will be charged as an adult.

It would be better,
if he doesn't mess up his life.

I'll talk to him.

That's why I'm here.

Do you know
who might have it in for him?

Not a clue.

I have no idea.

Right.

You can't remember anything.

You have a visitor.

We're not a couple anymore,
but we can still be friends, right?

At least they let you go.

It's not over yet.

It was a whole fucking bag.

The police said they'd drop
all charges if I name the dealer.

Wow.
Someone really wants to hurt you.

Do you believe me?

Who would do this, Ala?

Listen, she's a nobody.

- Let's bury the bitch.
- No!

Ala!

I don't know.

Think about who wants to destroy you.

Who has access to
this quantity of drugs?

SORRY, WON'T RISK IT.
YOU FUCKIN NUTS? AFTER THAT.

JAGODA
WRONG NUMBER

KUKI
COUNT ME OUT. U KNOW WHY.

Hiya.

- What do you want?
- I hoped you might want something.

I won't be needing
your services anymore.

You won't get a better deal.

A bit fucking louder? They didn't
hear you in the principal's office.

It's too risky right now, you know.

Don't want
to wind up a hopeless loser.

Fucker.

Hey, man. Don't you need a hit?

Hey, Monia!

- Hi!
- Hi.

Sorry, I have to stay late.
I'll call you. Got to hit the books.

Lucky they postponed the finals.

He asked me to marry him.

That was silly.

I said no.

Are you okay?

- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.

How was school?

The usual.

That's it?

Bunch of fucking faggots.

Whining on about rights!
What about my fucking rights?

Motherfuckers!

Did he go to the Labor Office today?

You know,
it's hard to find a job nowadays.

He won't find one sat on his ass,
shouting at the TV all day.

Don't get upset about him.

You have your schooling.
Good scholarship.

You'll fare better than him.

What a pretty box.

I got something for you.

I found it at a stall today.

- It's you. Remember that?
- I don't.

You don't know how lucky you are.

Did you shovel the snow yet, Andrzej?

I'll eat later. Got to be somewhere.

Thanks, sonny.

Hi.

My favorite's here.

Not enough.

It's just a blip.
It's going to be better, I promise.

Do you think I'm pretty?

Do you want to fuck me?

I do the fucking.

Always.

Get lost, pretty angel.

Man, come with me. Got to talk.

Sit down.

Have you heard of some new dealer
at school?

What the fuck?
You know only I deal here.

Maybe someone bought
more than usual recently.

You're crazier than a fish with tits. No.

No? Stop fucking with me!
Who are you hiding?

The cops said they'd drop the charges
if I give them a name.

And? Are you going
to fucking give them mine?

Maybe.

You're not the only one
who can screw up someone's life.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
My name is Professor Joshua Brown.

I'll be here talking to you about
3D printing. Take notes...

I GOT TO TURN PATRYK IN TO COPS.

WHAT?! YOU CAN'T!

GOT NO CHOICE. IT'S HIM OR ME.

IT'S NOT OK.
YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO A FRIEND.

Hey?

- How did you get in here?
- Hey.

I have the key, remember?

I almost lived here once.

Want to hop in?

Michał is going to the cops.

He'll say
Patryk planted those pills on him.

It wasn't him.

Okay, I'll tell you.

It was Janek.

Janek? Why?

He didn't like the way
Michał was treating you.

Don't play innocent.

- What?
- You must see how he looks at you.

I feel guilty.

Stop it.

You didn't plant those pills.

No, but poor Janek.

Besides, that's so not like him.

It wasn't like you
to sleep with my boyfriend.

I know. It's been hard for you both.
You got used to me being gone.

Maybe a part of you wishes
that I never came back.

Don't talk like that.
That's horrible.

The truth can be cruel.

But it doesn't make it less true.

Monia...

Tell me.

What happened that night?

- You know...
- I know what you all told me.

Then you know everything.

You've changed, you know?

QUICK MONEY FOR A SEX WORKER.
DISCRETION REQUIRED.

1 NEW MESSAGE

INTERESTED IN YR AD.
DOUBLE TAP TO LIKE.

MAN, THANKS, BUT NO...

YOU FUCKING NUTS?

DON'T TEXT ME.

NICE TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU.

Good morning, my colleague Agnieszka
and I welcome you today.

We'd like to thank the principal
for inviting us.

Today, we will talk about
the #metoo movement.

You're at an age when you start,
will start,

or already have started
some sexual activity.

Today, we'll discuss what is rape,
what is conscious consent,

and we'll answer
many important questions,

such as, does defining rape
as the lack of consent

reverse burden of proof?

To answer that question,
we must first determine what rape is

and we'll get into rape statistics.

Agnieszka, next slide, please.
Thank you.

WE MUST MEET.

WHERE ARE YOU?

Why not drive faster so the cops
catch us before we get there?

I thought
you were just an attention seeker.

Maybe I was wrong.

And you apologize to me
before we die in a crash?

You're the only person so far
who doesn't think Weronika ran away.

Can you remember anything odd from
that night on the container ship?

I've already told you, only bits
and pieces that make no sense.

What about your friends?
They don't have memory loss.

Maybe they could help you.

They might know more
than they're telling you.

- Hi.
- Hey.

Where's Tomek?

You just missed him.
He ran off with a celebrity.

She's even hotter in real life.

She got a DM from
some chick in Szymbark

who saw that live feed of hers
and says she met Wera.

- Wera?
- Tomek's sister.

- They're off looking for her.
- Tell him I came.

You jealous of the star?

What's up, kid? I'm kite surfing.

- Your ex is going after my boyfriend.
- What?

They went looking for his sister,
but he didn't tell me a thing.

Where the fuck did she go?
Who are they looking for?

Are you okay?

Then let's go.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- We're looking for Oliwia.
- Are you? Me too. Oliwka!

- Someone for you.
- I'm coming!

Sure, jeez!

- Hi.
- Hey.

- Wow, you're Alicja Stec.
- The one and only.

Wow. I can't believe you're here.

- I got your message.
- You said you saw my sister Weronika.

So, you're the brother.

Yes, I'm Weronika's brother.

Oliwia?

Yeah, right. I saw her once...
at least I think it was her.

When was that?

About a year ago.

Did you talk? Did she say anything?

We did. She was funny.

She asked for a frappe
with skimmed milk.

That's right, here at our station.

- Then we chatted a little...
- Did she say why she stopped here?

No.

Was she by herself or with someone?

I didn't see anyone with her.

- Oliwia! The dishes!
- Look, I only saw her once.

And if it hadn't been
for that coffee...

Was it really her?
Are you sure? Focus.

Yes, it was her.

I remember that pendant.
I liked it a lot.

She told me
her brother gave it to her.

Do you think I should go to the cops
about this?

- We'll tell them.
- Where are those dishes?

Thanks for your help.

Now what?

Let's go see Werner.

Why did you want to meet?
You know it's over between us.

Alicja and Tomek
went looking for Weronika.

Apparently, someone saw her.

Is it even possible?

Could you call her and ask?

She's your fiancée. You call her.

Could she be alive?

No. It must be a mistake.

- I must see Werner.
- The detective is busy. What is it?

- It's about Weronika Bielecka.
- I told you...

- You can't go in there! Stop him!
- Tomek!

Hi, guys.

Two on one, fuckers?
Better call for back up.

Uncuff him.

He'll behave. Right, Tomek?

As a kid,
we used to bring him in so much

that we called cell two
the Tomek Suite.

Do you want one too?

A girl from a gas station in Szymbark
contacted Alicja.

She saw my vlog about Weronika.

She saw her. She spoke to her.

- What's this girl's name?
- Oliwia Górska.

Anything else?

I'm on it.

Okay, you're free to go.

What? Okay? That's it?

We'll follow up.

Aren't you going to see her now?

Let me do my job.

I'll walk you out.

I don't think this is the way out.

You're getting the special tour.
I'll let you out the staff exit.

- Are they...?
- All missing, yes.

And they're just the active cases.

Some of them haven't been seen
in years.

I know it may be hard to see,
but we do our best to find them.

That's where your photo was.

That's why,
if you can remember anything,

even a seemingly
insignificant detail,

you could help one of them.

The Itaka Foundation
is organizing a concert.

A person with your reach
could help them publicize the event.

MISSING

Excuse me.

Ala!

Are you okay? What happened?

It's just...

Seeing all those missing girls...

I can't help her.

I can't understand my own memories.

I'm trying to piece them together,
but nothing makes any sense.

You're on time for once.

You take time off for other girls.

The sooner I get it done,
the sooner we go eat something.

There's nothing between me and Ala.
You know that?

Did I say there was?

You don't have to say a word.
Your face says it all.

She's not my type.

- Have you got a type?
- Let me think.

A beautiful, irritable brunette

who holds the wrench for me
when I ask her.

Would you rather spend time with her
than me?

My only link with Alicja is Weronika.

And our only link is sex?

Paula... you can't be jealous
when it comes to Weronika.

We learned a lot.

- The cashier saw her.
- How's that?

Weronika wore the necklace
I gave her.

It could be a coincidence. There are
hundreds of those necklaces.

I thought you'd be glad.

- Don't get your hopes up.
- Weronika is alive.

And she didn't run away.

That's not what I meant. I'm sorry.

Bring me the 12 flat wrench.

Where's our stuff?

Alicja stole a whole fucking bag.
Still waters.

Did I scare you?

Don't you have school?

I don't feel too well today.

Would you like to talk?

I heard Dad tell you
maybe it's best if I never remember.

- Darling, you know Dad...
- I do, but he was right.

What if the truth isn't what
we all want it to be?

Look at me.

The important thing is
that you're home.

Nothing else matters.

You can always go back to Milena.

Can you make me cocoa, Mom?

Sure.

Get ready.

We're going on a trip. Move.

- Patryk is a sure shot.
- What if he tells the cops?

He was there, right?

He's trash.

Besides, your colleague already
has a record. You don't.

So, who are they going to believe?

You told me not to worry about
a thing.

- That you'd take care of everything.
- So, now I'm to blame?

You asked me to tidy up the mess
you and your friends made. I did.

In this life, you can be a predator
or a victim, like that fox.

Go on.

Get the bastard.

Not so easy, is it?

Knowing that you decide when
someone takes their last breath.

Time to man up, Mikey.

Focus.

What is Czapski's son doing here?

They took the deal
with the prosecution.

- He's shameless.
- Guys, I found something.

We got no recordings from a year ago,
but I spotted something strange.

See that guy in the cap?

He's a regular at the station.

The number you have dialed
is not in service.

Eight. You can do it! Ten.

You were right.

It's not much.

The exterior camera doesn't work
but I have this. Do you know the guy?

- Is he involved?
- We went through the footage.

He used to come regularly
and give an envelope to an employee.

He stopped by the same week
Alicja was found.

- Can you identify him?
- I don't know.

It might be a pure coincidence.

I'll let you know if I hear anything.

Thanks.

Hello, dear ones.

Do you have dreams? I do.

Sometimes they're the only thing
keeping us alive.

They give us hope
for a better future.

Sometimes dreams come true.

Sometimes they don't.

What we hold in our hand one day
can escape us the next.

Whatever happens, the crucial thing
is to never give up.

Treat every obstacle as a chance
to get to know yourself better

and your loved ones too...

to show yourself what
you're capable of doing...

to achieve your goal.
