Silence (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript

No obvious signs of violence.
However...

There could be some
skin under the fingernails.

We'll retrieve forensic evidence.

Two injection holes are visible.

This could have been her first time.

Or someone else injected her.

- This could be interesting.
- What would be her time of death?

We will know better after the autopsy

but I would say she died between
eight and twelve hours ago.

What about her shoes?

Some addicts shoot heroin
between the toes



to hide injection marks.

- And?
- Nothing.

I'd say she was left-handed.

My left-handed nephew
is learning to do his shoelaces.

They tie the knots in reverse.

If she was left-handed,

she would inject heroin in her right arm
using her left hand.

She was friends
with the girl who drowned.

This was not an accident. I think
the drowning was not a suicide either.

Hello? Saša?

I can see that the media
vultures are cruising.

He is all right. Thank you.

I happened to be there
when the investigators were called.

What can you do?



I have access and enough
exclusive material for several stories.

No fuck-ups this time,
like with the first girl's cell phone.

I'll deal with that, don't worry.

- What have we got?
- Probably an OD.

But there is also evidence that her death
was not an accident or suicide.

- Any connection to the first girl?
- Perhaps she knew who killed her.

I'll give you everything you need
to get me a suspect as soon as possible.

All right, boss.

Fishing line and hook.

- It's our guy.
- Which guy?

Igor Kožul, the man who found
the first girl when he went fishing.

- Send a patrol to bring him in.
- Do it, Vesna.

All right, Vlado. We'll be fine.

THE SILENCE

Hey, Nikolai.

I don't need to tell you how is important
now that you are with Olga all the time.

- Don't worry.
- It's OK?

And, I know that is not your job.

But I will talk with Sergei
and he will pay you.

- It's not problem at all.
- Great, Nikolai.

OK, give me Olga back, please.

So, Nikolai will be with you all
the time and I will handle Sergei. OK?

Thank you, please give me Filip
on the phone.

I'll give you little bit of everything.

Wait. Filip!

Wave to mum!

Filip, my love. I love you!

He's here playing all morning with nanny.
All is good darling.

- I love you.
- Please behave.

Bye.

Hello, I am Olga Romančenko.
I'd like to speak to Mariya, please.

Mariya, I got your number
from Sergei Grinioff.

I am looking for the guy
who teaches photography at the centre.

All I have is his first name. Viktor.

What did you say?
Viktor Kravchenko?

Do you have his address
or phone number?

Can you please send
his phone number?

I see. That's all right.

Thank you for the information.

He quit. We have his last name
and his phone number.

We are not going to call him. Not yet.
You don't want to scare him.

Hey, old man. We need to talk.

Hey! What did Olga Romanchenko want?

She is looking for her niece Katya.
She thinks you know her.

Katya who? Never heard of her.
I have nothing to do with her, all right?

I'm not stupid.

Don't mention my name if she asks, OK?

Why haven't you called me,
you little fool? Seriously.

My agent keeps asking about Yuliya.
We need to take some photos.

I told you I'm not doing nude
photography.

You are so funny.
What did you think models do?

You want the cake
but you won't show your tits.

Why not? What are you afraid of?

Because it's rubbish. There is no agent.

Why would I lie to you?

Yuliya...

Just trust me.

Trust me.

All right. We can try.

Let's try.

Let's try.

Shall I go get my camera?

Sweet mother.

I am Vesna Horak from the police.
Do you know Mr. Kožul?

They say the war messed up his brain.

He's not the only veteran here

but the other veterans
don't act up like this.

He doesn't drink. What kind of a
man does not drink or eat his food?

Has he been bringing young
girls home? Teenage girls?

What girls? He never married.
What girl would want this man?

Psychiatrists made a mistake when
they discharged him from the hospital.

He stayed a couple of years,
he was fine there.

Why did they let him go?
What are we supposed to do with him?

Come here, Vesna.

My husband was also a veteran.
He lost his leg.

He was interned in a camp for six months

and he was a different man
when they released him.

It was hell. He blew his head off,
may he rest in peace.

Ten years ago. He was a normal person
compared to Kožul.

Vesna?

- Be careful, there are snakes.
- I will, thank you.

Wartime souvenirs.

Come have a look.

He made a bomb.

Isn't this the clinic complex in Osijek?

The psychiatric ward.

Fuck.

Do you recognize her?

She is dead.

In the photo.

Please answer.
Do you recognize this girl?

She is really dead.

We found this ten metres
from where she died. Is this yours?

I don't know.

It could be mine.

The spot is where you usually
go fishing.

Where were you
about midnight last night?

Igor?

- Igor?
- At home.

- Sleeping.
- Alone?

Alone.

I didn't do anything.

Two girls were found dead
in the spot where you go fishing.

Items belonging to you
were found by the body.

But you didn't do anything
and you know nothing.

Take a photo
of that corner for me, please.

We are going to search your home.

- Take a photo of the corner.
- We'll find their phones, wallets, ID's.

- We will find everything.
- Show me a photo of the corner.

- Please take a photo for me.
- What is there?

Blood. Lots of blood.

Lots of fresh blood.
It's shiny and smells of iron.

Igor?

They slaughtered them.

- Slaughtered them.
- Igor?

Why don't you have a look?

Are you too afraid to look?

How is your mom doing?
Is she OK?

Is she still alive?

Your mom.

Take him away.

Call me when you are done with
the paperwork, but not before five.

- Chief Jakić, my name is Stribor Kralj.
- I know who you are.

- No comment.
- Igor Kožul is your suspect, isn't he?

- How do you know this?
- It will be in my story.

With or without your statement.
You decide.

OK.

Fine, I'll give you a statement
if you don't identify the source.

A high-ranking police officer will do.
You know the routine.

The dead girls are our top priority.

We have a suspect and soon we'll have
enough evidence for the court.

So Kožul is your suspect.

- Off the record?
- Off the record.

I'm going to his place now.
They found a lot of evidence in his home.

- It's big.
- Bigger than two dead girls?

- Yes.
- I will quote this.

If you a need a quote, quote this.

The Osijek police has the competence
and focus to do an excellent job here.

Quote this and you will have
exclusive rights.

It's a deal.

Bigger than two dead girls?
What did he mean?

- I don't know. That's what he said.
- You find out.

What are you sending today?
The name of the suspect?

I need to check him out.

- Do it.
- OK.

- I can go through. Chief Jakić!
- Leave him to me.

Detective Horak, how are you?
What did you find in the house?

Crazy things.

- Other victims?
- No.

- Have you identified the girls?
- Not yet.

- Can I have a look at Kožul's file?
- Come on.

Chief Jakić wants me to say
you're doing a great job.

All you've got is the name of a suspect.

- We have more.
- More what?

- I can't discuss that.
- I need something. Show me his file.

Come see me at the office in 20 minutes.

- You can have a look at his file.
-Thanks.

- Knock down the door.
- Are you kidding?

What if she's in there and needs help?

- Katya, can you hear me?
- There is no one in here.

I will take you to the hotel
and come back to wait.

Because you are so pretty.

Viktor.

Stop! Viktor!

Vitya! Wait! Vitya!

- Let me go!
- Shut up.

Where he is going?

- What are you doing here?
- It's none of your business. Let me go!

Nikolai, let her go.
Calm down!

- If you try to run away--
- Please let her go.

Have you been to his home?
Have you seen Katya?

I haven't and I haven't seen Katya.
Can I go now?

- Quiet!
- Katya is my niece and she has--

I know. She is missing.

It has nothing to do with Viktor.
He hasn't seen her.

You believe him?

Yesterday you said you didn't know him
and now you are with him.

He found a job for me in a bar.
I am fifteen.

If someone finds out about it,
we are both in trouble.

Listen to me. No one will know.

- Not your parents nor the police.
- It has nothing to do with my parents.

Why did he run away
if he doesn't know Katya?

Where did he go?

I don't know.

You have my card.
Call me if you hear from him.

- All right?
- Be very careful with him.

Let's go, Nikolai.

This is what we had on him.
It's all I can give you.

Thanks.

- What are you doing here?
- Helping your public relations.

Public relations? Nonsense.

Ask your Chief.

I'll give you two minutes
to get out of here. The laptop?

In the lab. I'll have a look
when they are done.

I'm going to his home. He won't
confess, we need to find something.

You think this guy killed them?
A veteran whose neighbors hate him?

- Enough, you are done.
- Why did he do this?

Because he's nuts.
He killed two girls because he is insane.

Why did he call you
when he found the first one? Insane.

- Out.
- You are insane.

Get out!

Kovač speaking.

Where?

When? Time of death?

How old is she?

- Any ID?
- You have a third victim?

All right, see you there.

You have three dead girls.

I told you to get out of here.

All right, but Kožul
did not kill her, he was in jail.

Even a lunatic can't be
at two locations at the same time.

- Get out of here!
- I'm going.

- It's gold. It's pure gold.
- I don't care about gold.

- What really bothers me...
- You are not investigating the case.

You are reporting on what the police
are doing and how they are doing it.

All right, I'm sending the story in.

Sent.

- Listen, the guy did not kill them.
- You don't know that.

The story is about a guy who did nothing.
Can't you see?

- You don't know that.
- I don't think he killed them.

Tell me what you think.

I'm sure someone
else killed the third one.

Kožul was in jail at the time.

Fuck.

- There is a third victim?
- Yes.

How soon can you get verification?

- I don't know. I'll do my best
- OK, do it.

You've got a serial killer.
We can run the story for years.

- I'm afraid I found something nasty.
- You found gold.

I need to go now,
I'll call you tomorrow. Ciao.

- Kovač, Osijek Police Department.
- Gračan. I called you.

She was hit by a car over there.
The body was found here.

What the hell.

The body has been sent to your coroner.

Her injuries were pretty bad.
Internal bleeding.

Man, don't tell me
this was not a traffic accident.

As far as we can tell, she is about
the same age as the first two.

She has injection marks on her arm.

Fuck.

We did what we could. File a request,
we'll send everything over.

This is our jurisdiction
but I think the girl is yours.

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

who will ward you from the Devious one.

May the Lord be with you.

In the name of the Father, the Son
and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

May He heal your spirit and body.

You are getting old
but your wives keep getting younger.

Sorry to bother you with work today,
but I've got to.

I don't know how, but she found Viktor.
To hell with him.

Why did he mess up with
the niece of Horvatić's wife?

- I'd break his legs.
- It's too late now.

- Congratulations, boss.
- Thank you.

- We need to get going.
- Wait for me over there.

This is what we do. We drop that guy
and blame him for everything.

- He's just a pawn anyway.
- There are no other options.

- I'm fucked up, Egor.
- What happened?

The Romančenko woman
knows about me.

Fuck you!

I didn't know, Egor.
I didn't know it was her niece.

Now she's looking for her.
I didn't know!

Are you crazy?
How did she find out?

What niece? Talk to me!
Get your shit together.

She found me through
this girl Yuliya.

I didn't know about Katya,
I did not know!

I will take care of the police
and the aunt.

You find a hole to hide
and stay there.

But before that, you bring me
the fifth girl. Do you understand?

Understood.

Little prick.

I've brought the car papers
so you can register the car.

You could have put them in the post.

I know, but you were working
the night shift, so I thought...

Shall we get a cup of coffee? Magda?

Vlado, I need to go.

This town never makes the headlines
when things are going well.

Isn't this the reporter you
wanted for your biography?

I want a lot of things.

- You know me.
- I know.

The trouble with your niece in Kiev.
Tell me if you need my help.

- Thank you.
- I know what I can do to help you.

What?

You wanted to replace
the current chief of police.

He knows that.
Very well.

I went back and did the post mortem
for the first two girls again.

Your murder theory does not
seem outrageous any more.

And?

The second victim was not an addict,
I know that much.

The other things I can guess.

- The first victim, the pregnant girl...
- Ivana.

No signs of altercation
but the skin under her fingernails.

- You have DNA?
- I took DNA from the fetus.

It could help if you run the search
and if the father was involved.

We are waiting for the DNA from the skin
under the fingernails of the first one.

Ivana. Her name is Ivana.

Was Ivana. If the DNA from the skin
matches the fetus DNA--

She was killed by the child's father.

The third victim is very interesting.
Follow me.

Cause of death was she was hit
by a car moving at over 100 km/h.

That much we know.
What we did not know...

The guys said she had injection marks
on her arm. I found these too.

I think she was sedated with
enough sedative to kill a horse.

- Have you sent Ko ul's DNA to the lab?
- Yes.

If he is the one,
you will have proof in a couple of days.

- The third girl may be a different case.
- Same age, no ID, injection marks.

- Kožul could have an accomplice.
- He definitely knew the victims.

I went through thousands of images
of empty places, but look at this one.

The two girls are in some of his photos.

It is them, Vlado.

The third victim. Try to find her too.

He either has an accomplice
or he acted as an accomplice.

He should know something.

We found images of both victims
on your computer.

And weapons. You made a bomb
to blow up the hospital.

- You can't touch my things, stay away!
- Cut the crap.

- Can you drive? Do you own a car?
- I can't drive.

- But you can kill girls?
- Listen to me! For once listen to me!

Do you know how
many dead bodies I have seen?

Eels coming out of my eyes!

What's going on? Restrain that man!

Let him go. Stop it!

You will see too what I have seen,
but it will be too late.

Get him out of here.

You will see.

- Are you all right?
- Yes.

Nikolai, do you think we can trust Sergei?

When I first joined the police,

I was young and foolish
and trusted everyone I worked with.

Now that you are wise,
you don't trust anyone.

What about me?

Why are you helping me?
I can ask you to leave any time.

I care about your safety.

Nikolai, tell me what you think.
What happened to Katya?

- Did she really run away?
- No.

Cheers.

Tell me, I'm curious.
Who do you think killed them?

A professional killer
rather than a psychopath.

He knew what he was doing
and left no evidence. Kožul can't do that.

- We searched his home.
- What did you find?

All sorts of things.

- You called, Chief.
- Yes.

You will give Mr. Kralj
photos of the dead girls.

- Why?
- For publication.

- What?
- I am sorry I went too far earlier.

We are publishing
photos of the dead girls?

Do we know who they are? We don't.
Who knows when we will know.

We can't investigate
unless we know about the victims.

We have photos
of the first two girls alive.

We have nothing for the third one.

- Shall we use the first two?
- Someone may know the third one.

We don't give images
of dead victims to the press.

Especially post-mortem images.

I know, but we are going to run them
because we don't have a choice.

It's done.

Can I have any details
of the third victim?

No, you can't.
Chief, can we talk in private?

- I'd better leave.
- We'll stay in touch.

- Sit down.
- No, thanks.

All right. I am listening.

I don't think it's wise
to involve the media.

Stribor, you mean?

- You brought him to the crime scene.
- Stribor is not a problem, the case is.

The third victim, time of death.
It's possible Kožul did not kill her.

Kožul did not kill her? Investigate
the case and leave the media to me.

My job is at stake while you are
stalling the case. You have nothing.

- Nothing.
- Very well.

What? My wife is pregnant,
I need the story, I need money.

The story will sell,
who cares about the dead girls.

It's about finally identifying
the girls, don't you think?

You think about it, big hair.
You may sleep better.

What are you looking at? Get lost.

Come in.

- Maybe they're in here.
- Maybe.

Olga!

Damn!

Olga, let me help you.
Careful with your head.

- You'll be fine.
- Damn.

- Three dead girls in three days.
- That's right.

We'll get it done.

It's a test. Do the test right
and you can stay where you are.

A test? You are fucking with me.

The elections are coming up,
you need to deal with this shit asap.

Listen to me.
Listen up!

Identify the killer as soon as possible.

We are giving forensic images
to the press.

No one does that.
It will be a total fuck-up.

OK, someone may have information
and call in.

Vlado. Vlado?

Let's change the subject, please.

- You know what you need here?
- I need everything.

- Candles. Have you got any?
- Candles?

What if there is a power shortage?

Or you want to create a romantic setting.

You will need candles.

Relax.

- I'm sorry.
- Vesna?

Never mind.

- Vesna, please don't leave.
- I'm OK.

- How do you feel?
- I'm fine.

- What about your headache?
- It's OK

- Come here. Does it hurt much?
- No.

I checked the flights for Zagreb.
Tomorrow at 11 am and 5:30 pm.

I'm not leaving, Ivan.

Why not? Olga?

I have things to do.
I'll be there soon.

- I promise.
- All right.

But you need to go to the police
and tell them everything.

- Hold on, I have a call. Just a minute.
- Ivan?

- Who is on phone duty?
- I'll check with the duty officer.

There are calls. The usual nutcases,
onspiracy and the like.

Give that to someone else,
you go talk to Stribor.

Why?

Have coffee with him,
see what he intends to print next.

To get some leverage.

Vlado, the prosecutor is coming today.
You will go through the case with him.

- Are they indicting Kožul?
- We need to show some evidence.

Could he have killed her
before he was arrested?

It's possible.

Vlado?

Vlado!

It's possible he was not acting alone.

We don't know that
unless we do our work.

You find the others.
We have Kožul and he is our guy.

We don't need another dead girl.
Let's do this.

- Hello? Kovač.
- Dr Bobetić speaking.

I was and I still am
Mr. Kožul's psychiatrist.

I saw in the paper
that he was the one who killed the girls.

- You are calling about the dead girls?
- So to speak. Can we meet?

Definitely, if you can help us
identify the victims.

I don't know the girls
but I know the suspect.

You should hear what I have to say.

- Osijek Police Department.
- Yes, I can.

Do you have their names?
For God's sake.

I had a call from the psychiatrist
who treated Kožul.

I'm going to check on my mom
and meet with him later.

Police Department.

All right.

- Can we talk about last night?
- Can you hold, please?

Nothing to talk about. It's OK.
Wrong judgement. It happens.

It has happened before.
Do you know their names?

- Can I have another soda?
- A small one.

- Medium.
- We're going to spend all the money.

He wrote that.

Saša sent clippings. Everyone carried
the story, including AP and Reuters.

Perhaps we'll be able to buy a flat.

We'll get a tent
if you continue to eat this much.

What's wrong?

Shall I always be the guy
who printed photos of dead girls?

The police asked you to do it and
your editor printed it. It was not you.

- I need to go.
- Right now?

- It's the police. They have news.
- Go then.

Go ahead and order a large drink.

- See you.
- My husband wrote that!

He's a disgrace to veterans.
I could blow his face off, just like that.

- Everyone is talking about your story.
- Great.

- Any information on the third girl?
- Nothing so far.

- Any calls?
- Nothing worthwhile.

- What about you?
-What about me?

- What are you going to write next?
- Depends on what I can get from you.

Yesterday Jakić said this was big.
What did he have in mind?

- The suspect, I guess.
- Nonsense.

Why nonsense?
I think we have arrested the perpetrator.

This would mean the third victim
died before Kožul's arrest.

Come on. When can I get
some real information?

When we identify the girls.

- Why did you call me then?
- You are a big reporter now.

The department wants to stay in touch.

And we want no surprises in the press.

Your boss sent you to check on me.

My Zagreb editor wants
a full story on Kožul, a special.

- Great.
- Yes, it's great.

Can you promise
there is a story in there?

Oh yes, there is. I promise.

- Let's go.
- I'll pay for drinks.

No, let me pay.

I'm a big reporter now.
I can pay for our coffees.

Can I have the bill, please.

I knew this would go too far.
They got killed because they were stupid.

Vesna Horak, the police.

What are you doing?
Let her go! Let go of the girl!

- Did you know Ivana and Sanja?
- Who?

- Sit down! Police!
- Did you know them?!

Mom, it's me.

What's going on, Ivan?

- Please come home.
- I'm fine, I told you.

Olga!

I said I would come home
when I find her.

What happened, Ivan?

Ivan?

They found Katya.

What is it?
