Silence (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Episode #1.3 - full transcript

THE SILENCE

If they know I've talked to anyone,
they will kill me too.

We will protect you, don't worry.

Oh yes, you will.

Višnja, do you know who killed them?

No.

What can you tell me about them?

We all come from the system
of youth justice supervision.

Do you remember the fire in Brijest,
a couple of years ago?

Sanja was the one who started the fire.

Ivana stabbed a guy
and fucked up his spleen.



What about you?
Have you stabbed anyone?

I was accused of things I hadn't done.

Stay.

Osijek Police.

May I speak to detective Kovač,
please? This is Dr Bobetić.

- We had an appointment.
- I am sorry. He was delayed.

I will tell him you called
as soon as he comes in.

I'm not sure Mr. Kovač understands
we need to meet as soon possible.

It's about your murder case.

Can you come to the police station?
And ask for Vesna Horak.

- Yes, I can.
- Thank you.

Please ask someone to check
if Vlado is still at his mother's.

The third girl also lived at the facility?

No.



A lady from social services will come
to take you to a foster family.

Only a couple of people
know their address.

I won't let anything happen to you,
Višnja.

Fucking great.

Maybe they made a mistake.

Maybe it's not Katya.

She had no documents.

I'm going to be late for my flight.

What am I going to do?

She was going to you.
She wanted to see you.

I am nothing to her.

It's only you, you, you.

- But you didn't need her.
- What do you want me to say?

Bring her back.
Bring her back!

Police.

- I am looking for detective Kovač.
- The door is open.

Detective Horak
has been looking for you.

I know.

The lady is dead?

Is she dead?

My deepest condolences.

They need you at the station,
but it will have to wait.

Can I help in any way?

Please tell Vesna know
that you've found me.

The reason why he takes all
those photos every day...

I'm afraid it is my fault.

It was my recommendation.

Igor hallucinates, you know.
He sees dead bodies.

When he takes a photo, it shows him
the bodies are only in his mind.

And it works, if I may say so.
It helps him live with his condition.

- How long has he been your patient?
- For seven years. Almost eight years.

- He was treated at the hospital too.
- Yes.

- And you discharged him.
- Yes.

My professional opinion
is that normality is his best therapy.

Our psychiatric ward, to be sure,
is not a model of normality.

He is not violent and there
is no history of violence.

I know him better than anyone and
in my opinion...

Professional opinion.

Yes, I speak as a psychiatrist with
30 years of experience and his therapist.

Let me ask you, I'm interested
in your professional opinion.

Why did he make a bomb
and blueprints of your psychiatric ward?

Not violent. Is that what you said?

What is this?

Mrs. Horak, there is much more to this
than meets the eye.

Come on.

- Horak.
- I found Kovač. His mother has died.

All right, thanks.

- Are you all right?
- I'm fine, thanks.

- This is Katya. The third victim.
- How do you know that?

Her mother is Olga's sister.
She is my niece.

Fuck, she is her sister's daughter?

- The girl is from Ukraine?
- Yes.

Katya?

- You need to call detective Kovač.
- I'll call him when we are done.

Do they have a suspect?

Igor Kožul,
but I don't think he has done this.

Kovač doesn't seem to believe
that he was the killer, either.

- Any other suspects?
- No, only this one.

Stribor, I did not ask this question
as a future minister of the interior

but as her family.

I know. The police identified the first
two victims but that's all they know.

The investigation is in progress though,
soon they will have leads.

I need your permission to mention
that she was your niece.

It is important.
It may help their investigation.

Thank you. I am so sorry.

This case is now a top priority
investigation for the police.

Now that she is dead.

They think Katya was coming to see us.

Why would she come
for a visit without calling first?

Hi.

Are you making fun of me?

Come with me.

I almost got arrested because of you.
I'm totally fucked up because of you.

You bitch! Bitch!

I give you work, regular work.
It's a regular job!

So that you can get out of here
and go to Paris. What did you do?

- You rat on me to Romanchenko?
- I did not rat on you!

Now I need to get out of Kyev.

- Why?
- Why?

You haven't done anything wrong.

To whom can I explain that?
The police?

Or Romanchenko?
That I haven't done anything.

Is that what you think I should say?
I don't understand.

OK. Yuliya...

You fucked up.
You need to make it right.

How?

By going with me to Paris, you fool.

The French guy will send tickets
if you come with me.

Without you,
I am of no use to him.

Do you have a passport?

No.

Is it possible to get one?

Yes, it's possible. It's possible.

Come on, sweetie.
We're not going to give up, OK?

I'll be in touch.

Oh, Katya... My beautiful Katya.

My little girl.

Oh, my little girl...

Leave me alone,
I am not going anywhere.

Leave me alone.

So if she had planned to come
for a visit, you did not know about it.

No.

Olga told me she went missing in Kiev
four or five days ago.

She disappeared
and no one knew anything.

- Five days ago.
- Yes. I guess.

Can we continue tomorrow morning?
I need to go back to Olga.

- I am very sorry for your loss.
- Thank you.

Wait for me.

- You cannot blame us.
- How long have they been missing?

For about five days.

We found Ivana Borovac's body
six days ago.

Six days.

You don't report missing
children to the police?

- We've reported this.
- When?

Four days ago, didn't you?

They were good girls,
never a problem.

Other kids are much worse than that
and we need to focus on them.

How many kids are missing right now?
As we speak.

- Two.
- Two.

Both are boys and we reported
they were missing.

The whole town is talking about
two girls found dead

but it never occurred to you
that you should call the police.

Kids keep running away all the time.

Sometimes you bring them back
but mostly they come back on their own.

We have learned we cannot expect
much help from the police.

Is that so?

Now you can expect the police to hand
you a summons to appear in court.

Please ask Branko
to take over tomorrow.

Zoran will go to the meeting
the day after tomorrow.

Yes, I know.

Thank you.

Yes, she's all right.
We'll talk later. Ciao. Thanks.

I am free for the next two days.

You have Stribor Kralj's phone number,
don't you?

I do. Why?

I'd like to invite him to dinner.

Yesterday we went
to see Katya's dead body.

Let's spend these two days together.

I must do something. I need to find out
what happened and why it happened.

Let the police do their job.

I can't.

I cannot.

- My condolences.
- Thanks.

- My condolences.
- Thank you.

Vlado, please accept my condolences.

I am sorry.

Thank you.

- My condolences.
- Thank you.

Excuse me.

Stop him before he does something
he should not do.

Magda! Why did you do this?

- What are you talking about?
- You are sorry she died?

- Of course I am sorry.
- Is that why you gave her those pills?

- Keep your voice down.
- Why did you do that?

- What are you doing?
- Let me go!

Stop it.

If you need time,
take a couple of days off.

I'm fine.

Vesna can continue
working on the investigation.

I'll be OK.

This was not OK. It was not OK.

- He snapped and called her a murderer.
- His ex wife?

Yes. She left six months ago.
Hurry up, we'll be late.

- Sexy.
- Does it look good?

If you ever leave me, I will trash you
in the papers every day.

I know.

- I'm a bit nervous.
- I am too.

No need to be nervous.

- Act natural, that's it.
- Of course.

- What about the flowers?
- What flowers?

Come on.

- In the car.
- You left them in the car?

- What if I did?
- I need to pee.

- No one leaves flowers in the car.
- I do.

What is this?

- How do you knock on the door?
- You say Open sesame?

And clap.

You need instructions
to enter your own home.

Push one of these buttons.
You broke it.

- How do I look?
-You look fine.

Good evening.

- Welcome.
- Thanks.

- This is Olga.
- Good evening.

- Nice to meet you. Olga.
- I am so sorry for your loss.

- Stribor told me about your niece.
- My condolences.

- This is for you.
- Thank you. They are beautiful.

- I picked them myself.
- You speak Russian?

- A little.
- Nice.

- Please come in.
- Thank you.

- A little.
- It's true.

- This is delicious.
- Thank you.

Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom.
Where is it?

I need to pee all the time.
I'm pregnant. I go all the time.

You're pregnant?

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

- She's pregnant.
- Bravo.

- I don't want to get lost.
- It's right here.

Stribor, thank you
for writing about the murders.

I don't know
what happened to my niece.

I don't understand.
Only a little.

I'm sorry. Thank you
for writing about the murders.

We can do more
when my husband is appointed minister,

but it could be too late.

- I told him everything I know.
- Yes, but I've got to do something.

Like what?

We'd like you to share with us

any information you come across
immediately,

before you seek confirmation.

Not sure my editor would like that.

We would be extremely grateful.

- If I can get another exclusive story...
- What kind of story?

- An interview with you.
- No.

Not during the campaign,
it could have a devastating effect.

Wait, Ivan.

Will you share information with me
if I agree to do an interview?

I will.

You don't know how this would affect
your voters. It could be a good thing.

- I'll do it.
- We'll think about it.

No, Ivan. We'll do it.

I am back.

- I have peed.
- Good for you.

- To the baby.
- Cheers.

I watched all the tapes
from toll booths and the bridge

and I think it was this car right here.

I checked the licence plates.

The car is registered
to Danko Olić from Slavonski Brod.

You can't be sure this was
the car that hit the girl.

True. But we can get an order and look
for blood on Danko Olić's bumper.

I went through the tapes a hundred times
and I believe it was this car.

This Olić guy fits the profile.

No, this was not a murder.
It was an accident.

The first two were also planned
to look like accidents.

You think Igor Kožul is capable
of fixing an accident of this kind?

Shall we do two separate investigations

and leave the Ukraine girl
to the police in Slavonski Brod?

No. We have to find out
what happened to her.

All right.

Vlado, are you Ok?

I wanted to apologise
for that night in my apartment.

Don't worry about it.

- Did I wake you up? I'm sorry.
- No, I got up to pee.

What's going on?

I've been offered a job.

- That's great.
- Yes, but...

What?

Those photos really bother me.

That I had to take dead girls' photos
in order to get a job.

No, you got a job because
you are a good reporter. The best.

If it wasn't for you,
the police would have nothing.

But that's not what I do. My job is
to inquire, research, write about it.

That's your job description, but your
passion is stressing over everything.

- That's right.
- Come to bed.

- No.
- Come to bed.

- Go to sleep.
- No.

- Go to sleep!
- Yes, mam.

Olga?

I've made up my mind.

- Do I have a say at all?
- I'm not going to give up.

What if this was not an accident?

What if it was Filip?

Don't say that,
it's not the same thing.

Ivan...

Your interview
caused me a lot of trouble.

What did you want?

You said you'd call
before you print something.

You said many things.

- Now you are on Horvatić's payroll.
- Is that your problem?

When we print something
you guys don't like, it's a conspiracy.

Someone is pulling our strings.

I'm tired of listening
to this shit my whole career.

- I don't give a fuck about your career.
- I do. It's my job.

You don't answer my calls, you scream
at funerals, what is wrong with you?

What are you talking about?

- Are you crazy? What the fuck?
- Stop yelling at me.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- Olga, this is detective Vladimir Kovač.
- Why don't you answer my calls?

You're not on her husband's payroll,
you just have breakfast together.

- What is this supposed to mean?
- You tell me, lady.

I'm just a hopelessly incompetent cop,
you are the expert.

- Why don't you prove your competence?
- Seriously? Here we go.

You and Stribor have sabotaged
our investigation

to help your husband win votes.
How's that?

I can't stand this.

- Excuse me?
- You are crazy.

- I am crazy? You are gone, man, gone.
- Is this a threat?

- Yes, it is!
- I'll quote this in the paper.

Shame on you!

- You two, leave.
- What?

Out!

Fucking interns.

Have you seen this?
Fucking interview with Olga Horvatić.

She appeals to the police to try
and identify the killer.

She is afraid she will never know
who killed her beloved Katya.

Unfortunately, she says, the police have
not done much to locate the perpetrator.

Where did this come from?

Her motherfucking husband and that
joke of a reporter are behind this.

- What's his name?
- Stribor Kralj.

You drink whiskey with him.

- Stabbing in the back, are we?
- No.

- He is your mistake as much as mine.
- Mine?

Yes, yours.

People trusted us when he was with us.
Now we're going to get crucified.

- There is more, chief.
- What?

We have results from the lab.

Tissue found
under the first victim's fingernails.

And, Vladimir?

And we compared the sample
with Kožul's DNA. And it is not a match.

So whose DNA is it?

The bitch is right,
we have an innocent man in jail.

What if there is another murder?

It would be our fault.
I don't want to be held accountable.

Who are we looking for?

- We have male DNA.
- Don't fuck with me, Horak!

The interview may be Horvatić's doing.
But Kožul is still the best we've got.

The best? How many others
are there, Vladimir? A billion?

We have no evidence
except his phone with photos

and the fact that the man is raving mad!

If we lose him, we are left with nothing.
Nice job, Vladimir.

What did I do?

For days you have been
telling me it was Kožul.

- You insisted he was our suspect.
- I did?

Yes, you did.

I am taking over the investigation.
I'll show you.

You take a vacation,
you've got problems.

What are you talking about?

If you don't get me evidence against
Kožul by tomorrow, he'll be released.

- Chief?
- Go home!

Have I been suspended?

No. Not yet. Not yet, Vlado!

The photos he takes with his phone
are part of his therapy.

Tell me more about his hallucinations.

Is it possible he killed those girls
but does not remember doing that?

Maybe it's possible but not probable.
Not really.

He made a bomb
and planned to destroy this building.

- He could be crazier than you expected.
- Let me show you something.

He has been sending these letters to me
and other staff in this ward for years.

Ever since he was discharged
from this clinic.

These are threats that
he would plant a bomb...

You should've called us.

If we don't admit him
to the clinic for treatment.

Wait a minute.

- He wanted to come back?
- Yes.

He kept sending these threatening
letters so that we take him back.

- The threat is not real.
- It's not? He made a bomb.

I know it may sound bad
but we are used to threats here.

There is a big difference though
between his and the other threats.

The others want us to let them go,
he wants to come back.

Trust me, a lunatic will not ask
to be admitted back to the asylum.

If he was violent,
I would be his first victim.

With your permission, of course,
I would like to talk to him.

A forensic interview
would help us establish

if there are grounds to consider
your theory about him having blackouts.

Have you ever had an experience
that you cannot remember

how and when you got to this place?

No, I haven't. No.

You may remember that we talked a lot
about repeated unwanted thoughts.

Yes, but it was back then.

Do you still have such thoughts?

No, but I did attack him.

It just happened. It was a situation.

I may have lost control, I don't know.

I am sorry about that.

But I have been afraid.

I am afraid.

What are you afraid of, Igor?

You know I won't be able to help you
if you don't tell me.

You don't want to help me.

- Of course I do.
- Why did you make a bomb?

They are there,

everywhere.

They stare at me. They look at me
as if they want me to come along.

I think they want me to go with them.

I feel safe here at the clinic.
The clinic is good for me.

Who are they?

You know who they are.

- Please let me continue.
- I don't know, Igor.

- You tell me.
- He means the dead bodies.

The only dead bodies
are those two dead girls.

Did you make them dead
when there were no other dead bodies?

Mr. Kovač, please.

We are here to talk.
Ask him about blackouts.

What blackouts?

- Did you kill the two girls?
- Please don't.

- It's just that you can't remember.
- Please stop. Stop it!

Is it true, doctor?

That I did it
but can't remember I did it?

Now that you have introduced
the idea of a blackout,

anything he says about it can't be used
as forensic evidence.

I have no time for psychotherapy.

I have come to help you
but you've made it impossible.

Vlado?

This is Dr Bobetić, Kožul's psychiatrist.

He is here
for a forensic interview with Kožul.

Nice to meet you.

- So?
- I don't think he is capable of murder.

Great. Thank you, doctor.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

I asked you to go home

but you are still here proving to me
that Kožul is not guilty.

What if Kožul does not know
he killed them?

What if I get you suspended after all?

From this moment,
Kožul is free to go.

- No nasty comments from you?
- I am not here at all.

It's over.
Don't try to do anything about it.

What about the fish?

Gone. No more weapons,
bombs or fish.

We had to get everything
out of the house.

I can go fishing to get more.

And make a couple more bombs?

They would never explode, my bombs.

- Look, she always stares.
- Does she?

She's just curious.

Wait a minute.

Do you really think
it's possible I killed those girls?

Make sure not to leave town.

Wait in the car.

When I found the first victim's phone,

I made copies before handing it over
to the police.

You did not trust them.

Look at this.

It is the same doormat.

- How do we find out who lives there?
- I don't know.

The big question is
do we tell the police about it.

That's right.

Vlado?

I did not see their faces.

They had black face masks.

There were three of them. No, four men.

Your curious neighbour saved your life.
She called the police.

They were saying I killed those children.

They seemed to know everything.

What do you think?

Is it true?

They said I killed those children.

Igor, we will find the men
who did this to you.

It doesn't feel right here.
This is not my ward.

Please ask them to take me to my ward.

They will not take me back now
that they know the truth.

Everybody knows.

Get some sleep, you need a rest.

Why would someone beat him up?

It was a lynch mob. People
have had enough, they want blood.

Should we put a guard
in front of his room?

You think they will come back?

I don't know.
