A NETFLIX SERIES

- [eerie music playing]
- [Alex breathing shakily]

[water dripping]

[footsteps approaching]

[Lucky] In here.

[Gigi gasps softly]

[Gigi] What the fuck happened?

[Antoni] I've never
seen anything like this.

[Gigi] Fucking hell.
What a massacre. But what is that?

[Antoni] That thing's not human.

[Lucky] Come on, hurry up.
You know the drill.



[Antoni] Okay, fine.

[camera shutter clicking]

[Gigi] What happened to its head?

[Gigi] So fucking cool.

[Antoni] You ever see
anything like this, professor?

[Gigi] What the fuck happened?

[camera shutter clicking]

[water splashing]

I can't get a connection with him.

Okay, pack him up.

[sighs]

[Lucky] Okay.

[Zawadzki] Then check the other one.

See if he says anything.



[grunts] Antoni.

Tony!

[camera shutter clicking]

Sir? What happened?

[Zawadzki] How long
did you try to resuscitate him?

[water dripping]

[Zawadzki] Did you see what happened?

Were his ribs already broken
before you started the chest compressions?

- [man] My boy...
- One more time, please, sir.

[man] Keep an eye on him.

Is that your son?

[man groans]

Damn it.

[eerie music continues]

Come on. Get up. Let's go.

No. We have to wait for the police.
I should talk to them.

- [Zawadzki] We don't have to do anything.
- I have to explain.

[Zawadzki] All right, let's start with
an X-ray, spectrometry, and a DNA test,

The dad's drunk off his ass,
babbling about his son.

[dramatic musical cue]

He opened his eyes.

- What?
- He opened them!

[sighs]

Hey. Hey.

A dead body never lies.

All right, let's go.

- Not yet.
- Come on!

[grunting]

[thunder rumbles]

[faint demonic mumbling]

[low growl]

[demonic mumbling]

[low growl]

[demonic mumbling]

[indistinct mumbling continues]

[man] Is that you in my head?

[low growl]

[groans]

[cracking]

[intense music playing]

[music builds]

[thunder rumbling]

[siren wailing in distance]

[water gurgling]

[muffled rain pattering]

[water gurgling]

[door opens]

[door slams]

- [grunts]
- [seat belt clicks]

Is this how you seduce
all your students? [laughs]

Your pulse.

I just want to take your pulse.

[cell phone line ringing]

What did you give me?

- [Lucky] Professor?
- We have to go. They're here.

[car starts]

You're afraid of the police, huh?

They'll bring the body to the office.

I'll write a report.

Then they'll confirm whatever we find.

[thunder rumbles]

[Alex] What the fuck is going on?

Tell me, what the fuck
was that thing back there?

And what the fuck is this
quorum I heard you talking about?

Why won't you tell me the truth?

There are certain rituals

that require an incantation
performed by exactly nine people.

Nine is a mystic number.

That's the quorum.

What does it have to do with the fact
that a boy just died back there?

And we're just driving around
like nothing just happened,

talking about demons
and fucking vampires. That it?

Do you see flashing lights sometimes?

Yeah, I do.

But it's because my mind is fucked up.
They're hallucinations.

You're not hallucinating.

Those are real phenomena.
I've been researching them for 30 years.

Trust me.

Extracurricular classes start at 8:00 p.m.
but we'll begin the autopsy now.

I used to play with those.

Folk dolls. For protection.

[Alex] It doesn't work.

Can I let you go?

[Alex grunts]

- [grunts]
- [bangs]

[exhales sharply]

Classy new notch in your bedpost, huh?

A girl here, a guy there,
after class with a professor?

Did he hurt you?

What happened?

Alex, what happened?

Come on.

[suspenseful music playing]

MEDICAL EXAMINER'S OFFICE

[metal scraping]

[gasps softly]

[footsteps]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[suspenseful music continues]

[unzips]

Alex, what are we doing here?

Look, he's dead, right?

That's your specialty.
I can tell you if he's depressed.

[Alex] Just check.

Please, just check.

He's dead.

[sniffing]

[zips]

[sighs]

Have you slept at all?

You look terrible.

Thank you.

It's starting.

What?

I'm exactly the age
when initial symptoms start to show.

- That's what you said.
- What's going on exactly?

I see things that aren't there.

I saw that boy
came to life this morning.

My mom saw things too.

Alex, one of
the hallmarks of schizophrenia

is the sufferer's inability to think
critically about their own symptoms.

You're doing that. And sleep deprivation
can make even healthy people hallucinate.

I've told you that.

Do you know
what happens when I fall asleep?

Yeah, I do,
that's why I think you need therapy.

In a few weeks, I'll be the age
my mother was when she killed herself.

Listen.

I'm sure that's gonna be a tough moment.

But when it's over, you'll be free.

And you can finally
stop running from yourself.

Maybe you'll see
the people who want what's best for you.

- Who maybe want to build something more...
- No. I don't think so.

Those people shouldn't even try.

They should stay away.

[tense music playing]

["Oh Lord” by Mary Komasa playing]

♪ And I wish
I will show up on your grave ♪

♪ With a bunch of flowers
Wilting in my hand ♪

♪ And I'll sit and scream
How he hurt me ♪

♪ Oh Lord, have mercy for my sin ♪

[dramatic musical cue]

[in Old Slavonic] How did she get here?

Where is she?

[in English] Master, who?
Who you're talking about?

[Alex sighs]

[gasps]

There seems to be
something troubling you, my dear.

[Alex] Weren't you all way over there.

Want me to tell your fortune?

I can feel him getting closer.

He's going to catch you.

He's going to catch you, my dear.

Catch you! Then you'll be weeping,
wailing, and gnashing your teeth!

Ha!

[laughs]

[laughter fades]

[whispering indistinctly]

[dramatic music playing]

[cracking]

[cracking]

[roars]

[in Old Slavonic] Water.

Black water.

Unclean water.

Cursed...

water.

Annihilated water.

Water.

She must be killed.

Black water.

Black water.

Water.

Fallen water.

Wake them up in me.

She must be killed.

Killed.

Killed.

[in demonic voice] Killed.

[dripping]

[eerie music playing]

[bones cracking]

[cracks]

[dramatic music playing]

[sniffing]

[wind blowing]

[church bell tolls]

[indistinct chatter]

[chanting indistinctly in Old Slavonic]

[continues in demonic voice]

Oh! Hey!

[people moaning]

[demonic chanting continues]

[chants]

[groans]

[continues chanting]

[glass breaking]

[dog barking, snarling]

[panting]

[gasps]

One...

Two.

Three.

Three.

[exhales]

- [continues chanting]
- Hey!

[chanting]

[woman screams]

[confused mumbling]

- [woman screams]
- It was you.

Sorry.

[distant screaming]

[bell tolls]

[banging]

[upbeat music playing on earphones]

[opera music playing on speaker]

[Lucky] We have a visitor.

The new girl is back.

Huh?

[Gigi humming a tune]

That boy is alive.

I've got photos.

- She's telling the truth.
- She saw him in Kazimierz.

- [Basia, Hania] By the zapiekanki stand.
- [laughs]

What's so funny?

Yeah, by the zapiekanki stand.
It draws a huge crowd, alive and dead.

Look, I pronounced him dead.
I'm not sure what you saw.

Some kind of aura?

That's an aura?

[Gigi laughs]

Then it has to be about you, right?

- As soon as you showed up...
- A demon appeared.

- Where was he?
- Did he see you?

[Gigi] You must have influence on him.

[Birdy] They must be drawn to you.
Like a lightning rod.

[Lucky] Give me a break. This is bullshit.

[Alex] Does this
look like bullshit to you? Huh?

[Gigi humming]

[Zawadzki] Come with me.

- Bullshit. Bullshit...
- Stop it.

Stop it!

[opera continues]

[Zawadzki] This here is our killer
that the police will never catch.

But he might be able
to tell us what happened.

- May I?
- Mm. Go ahead.

[sniffing]

Birdy.

[clamps snap]

[exhales]

[dramatic music playing]

Ah!

[blowing]

Fuck!

- Um... Yeah. Here.
- [groans]

[Birdy] Take this.

That's his gift.

He sees the origins of things.

I don't want him to fucking touch me.

And you two
fucking spy on people, right?

We can read thoughts.

What is your gift?

Oh...

[both] She doesn't know.

But she will.

Alex.

I think we can help each other.

[water running]

[Birdy] It came from the element of fire.

That means it has good.

It can't attack people.

[door slams]

[Alex] It wasn't good.

That thing was a monster.

It attacked that boy
like some kind of starving animal.

The attack wasn't chaotic.

It was deliberate.

Do you remember
what it looked like before it died?

Like a moth, a monkey, and an owl
had a fucked-up love child.

[Antoni chuckles]

[door slams]

Did I offend him?

- No. [chuckles]
- He does that sometimes.

[Antoni] Come on.

He's not telling us everything.

Come here.

What's that?

[Iliana] Sage.

It's a cleansing ritual.

You saw things nobody should see.

[Iliana] Mmm. Breathe in.

[Alex breathes deeply]

Thank you.

This one?

[Alex] Hmm.

I think that's the one.

Yeah.

It turned to stone
when I sprayed water on it.

- Why water?
- I don't know.

You act on intuition.

Or...

pure luck.

What's your problem with me?

Think.

Strange things are happening.

- A good deity killed someone.
- Good deities never act with evil intent.

The point is it didn't kill.

Right. The boy couldn't have survived.

Unless death transformed him somehow.

Marcholts?

- [Alex] What?
- [Iliana] Marcholt.

The undead. It's a low-level demon.

They enter dead bodies of people
who were cruel and evil in life.

Or, like Gigi,
who led a so-called life of sin.

[chuckles]

- Only those demons inhabit our world.
- [Antoni] They're easy to kill.

Just sever the spinal cord and that's it.

And then you have to bury them,
head and body separately.

That's crucial,
never both in the same grave.

And that's what's following me.

What do you mean by that?

It's always there.

Looking...

at me.

- I feel it.
- How do you know?

I feel it.

[Lucky] Marcholts are
supposed to be dumb. Very stupid.

[Zawadzki] Listen, so...

A good deity attacks

and turns the victim
into an intelligent marcholt.

Our ancestors believed
that the world was created by Triglav.

A god with three heads.

[Hania] The white head gave rise

to the deities
of benevolence, beauty, and fire.

The black one
created the pantheon of chaos,

despair, and water.

- And the third...
- The red one,

settled the eternal struggle
between good and evil,

creating harmony in the world.

[Gigi] But...

the higher deities
never interfered in our world before.

Then it's the first case in our lifetime.

[intense music playing]

[Zawadzki] Hmm.

We need to find the boy.

YESSA

[Zawadzki] All right, Kazimierz.
We'll split into two groups.

One will search
from Skałka to Krakowska Street

and the other from Krakowska
to the Jewish Cemetery.

- He can't have gone far.
- A paper GPS.

There are places on that map
no GPS will ever find.

I'll head to the morgue.

I bet you anything he's still there.

I'll talk to him.

All right, just talk to his old man.
Maybe he's finally sober.

I'm going with you.

No way. Go with the Professor.

I have to be sure.

[Zawadzki] Okay.

Hurry up, I'm driving.

Keys.

Let me know next time
you pick a route that goes over water.

I'll just take the bus.

[Lucky scoffs]

- Got your license out in the country. Huh?
- Shut up or I'll shove you out that door.

[rock music playing on stereo]

[sighs]

My head's fucking pounding.

[pill bottle rattling]

- What's this?
- Aspirin.

- You sure?
- Pretty sure.

[Alex] Pretty sure?

Did I hear you right back there?

You're on a mission
to talk to a dead guy?

A bunch of fanatics.

Fantasists.

Fucking weirdos.

You're the one who says
a demon is following you.

Even if a marcholt evolved
and started hunting,

why would it go after you?

Because I'm just that interesting?

Uh-huh.

[woman on radio] Plumbing problems
have been turning away Western investors

for years now.

They have to put up with
leakage on construction sites

and newly-finished buildings.

There are plenty of complaints
from native city dwellers as well.

Yesterday, a child tragically died
in yet another local drowning accident.

[lapping]

[eerie music playing]

[door slams]

He's not here.

[groans softly]

Maybe they moved him.

[low snarl]

[growling]

[Lucky grunting]

["Den Gard (Xxanaxx Remix)"

[Birdy] Okay.

[grunts]

All right, put them in.

[zipping]

[men grunting]

[Antoni] Perfect for our collection.

[music fades]

[eerie music playing]

[in Old Slavonic]
From black water, rise up.
