NETFLIX PRESENTS
Freeze! Militia!
Stop!
Tell him to turn it up.
What?
Tell him to turn it up.
Turn it up.
Book him.
-What? -Your ass, Nogaś.
-Right, I'm sorry. -You two, in my office, now.
Yes, sir.
The boss wants us.
You, book him.
-Did you sign anything? -I had to.
-What are they, convicts? -Hyacinths.
-Hyacinths? -They're booking gays.
You'll take Gregorczyk's case.
And the Pewex guy?
It was a success. The promotion kind.
I don't question the secret police.
Don't worry about promotions.
-What do they want with a thief? -No idea.
A homicide.
You need somebody experienced.
Not experienced, but trusted.
That's why I'm giving this to you.
But…
-Blood freaks Robert out. -Go fuck yourself.
Stop fucking with me.
Gregorczyk was a wealthy guy. They found him in the park.
We need a conviction, like now.
For good behavior.
VOUCHER
He in?
-You took over the Pewex guy case. -Seems so.
He's a pawn. We'll catch the rest, just let us.
The ministry does what it's supposed to.
As should you.
Sergeant.
For fuck's sake.
You're no driver. You pull on that gearstick like it was your dick.
Crappy gearbox.
Then get your own car! The keys.
I'm upstairs.
Upstairs clean.
That could be evidence.
Let's make sure.
Local production?
Secure this.
There could be some Hyacinths there.
-Good evening. -Hi.
For you.
-When did it come? -This morning.
Open it!
"Sgt. Robert Mrozowski has been accepted to the Szczytno Higher Militia School."
Yes!
Too bad. Congratulations.
-Aren't you happy? -I'm happy you're happy.
Congratulations.
How did you know?
I know everything.
Hello, honey.
Hi.
They'll make a man out of you.
I thought I was one.
You can always be better.
I got a homicide.
At the victim's place, we found a tape with guys.
The Hyacinth files could come in handy.
Thank you.
Enjoy.
They're handy elsewhere.
Could you not talk about work?
Militia, open up!
Mrs. Irena, he won't be long.
He has to be gone by 10!
What's this?
Our wedding gift from my father.
The tech guys have one like it.
-Do they have tapes? -I have tapes.
Ones you wouldn't want to see.
Meaning?
Tell me.
This is great.
Father arranged it.
-How do you know? -Think about it.
My father got us this, so… Should I toss it?
Sure.
Wait!
Let me help.
Come on…
Behave in there!
Quiet!
She'll have a heart attack!
Keep it down!
Dislocated shoulder, broken fingers, bruised face.
Either someone worked him over or he fought for his life. Like Bruce Lee.
Cause of death?
This.
He was stabbed several times. Once in the heart.
He was at the "Mushroom," you know who goes there.
Yes, we know he was queer.
I live close by, so I've seen my share.
I had a similar case recently.
The house is clean, no witnesses.
No family in Poland.
We'll have to ask around.
Okay.
Robert will go first to see if anyone's home.
Make sure it's worth it.
I have two vans waiting.
We grab them, take them in, rough them up a little…
But for fuck's sake…
Make sure they can speak. We need to ask them about Gregorczyk.
Will we get to shoot?
I can shoot you.
What's taking him so long?
One and Two, move in.
Scram!
Freeze! Militia!
Here he comes!
Come on!
Hide.
Those fuckers raid our cruising spots.
As they always do, right?
Now more frequently than before.
-Screw all this running around. -Right.
Another round and let's call it quits.
Damn queers.
I hear they stabbed one of ours.
Whom?
They gave up.
Let's blow.
Did you see those dorks? Can't let guys like that catch us.
If those are their best men, maybe we're okay.
Not all of them are like that.
You're a cop now?
-Why? -I'm just kidding.
-You go there often? -First time today.
And already so much fun.
To my debut.
Drink up. I have an exam in the morning.
-On what? -Hegel. I'm a German studies student.
And you? You study or work?
I help.
I studied social rehabilitation in Krakow.
I just moved.
-I help kids. -Troubled youth?
Yeah.
You should focus on me. Arek.
Robert.
Got lost? Three units were looking for you.
I chased one of them.
And he ditched you?
He did not.
We'll have an informant.
Daddy will be proud.
Let's get rolling.
Given name?
Paweł.
-Surname? -Młynarczyk.
Why the Mushroom?
I needed to pee, so I went inside.
It's the only toilet in the area. What could I do?
Recognize him?
No, I don't.
Take a good look.
But I don't know him.
You want a fairy tale? I just don't.
Do you like to fuck?
No, this happened once, by accident.
And it won't happen again. I promise.
-Recognize him? -No.
Gregorczyk.
Doesn't ring a bell, I swear.
Just keep this quiet, please, or I'll lose my job.
-Why were you there? -Why does one go there?
It's a public toilet.
-Have you got kids? -Yes.
Do they know?
-I'm just a foreman. -It's your last job.
-I don't know anything. -You'll be finished.
Your wife, mommy, and kids will know about this.
Please, don't book me.
I have a wife and kids.
So do I! But I don't stick it in other guys' butts!
Did they ever fuck you with a police baton? In the ass?
That's when you'll cry!
How do you know Gregorczyk?
Thank you.
-Your name? -Morawski.
Tadzio.
And in full?
Tadeusz.
Does "Gregorczyk" ring a bell?
Seen him?
We have your file.
You have priors.
You want to fuck up your life?
Here. Think it over.
Will you let me go?
Not for free.
He paid money.
He hired guys.
Where?
I may have heard about a villa.
Tell me about it.
It's just hearsay.
You want me to break your legs, bitch?
Get this queer out of my face.
You know any brothels for fags?
Apparently, Gregorczyk hired male prostitutes.
I'll ask my guy.
Sure, you do that.
How was your exam?
Come on.
What's the occasion?
Your passed exam.
Cheers!
I have an issue.
I think one of my kids is selling himself.
You can always see some kid at the cruising spots.
Have you heard anything about pimps?
Do they deliver the boys?
You don't think that I…
No, come on…
I just thought you could help.
Forget I asked.
There's this cab driver downtown.
Julian.
So I've heard.
Thanks, I'll ask around.
I'm throwing a party on Saturday.
-Drop by. -Sure.
Kwiatowa 34, apartment 6.
-Where are we going? -Julian Piwek?
Adam Gregorczyk, ring a bell?
-People don't show me their IDs. -Have you seen him?
Don't know him.
Can we have a nice talk here, or are we going to the station?
-Come on! -You drove his boys.
What? Me?
We booked them for prostitution.
I don't know. I really don't remember.
You'll know at least one.
Look closely.
I may have driven this guy.
Are you sure?
Yes, maybe.
We'll be talking more.
-Are we booking him? -Not if he plays along.
Open up!
-Good evening. -We're here for Kamil Barczyk.
He's not in.
We'll see.
Nothing.
-Freeze! -Grab him!
Get him!
You're in some shape.
You visited Gregorczyk.
So what? Everyone did. Talk to the others.
Give us some names then.
I didn't do anything!
You can't lock me up for those trips!
Prostitution.
Battery charges.
-Destruction of government property. -You dented my car.
The gay dude's guilty.
You just need someone to pay for Greg.
And when some psycho stabbed Adrian, you didn't do shit!
-You want queers gone! -What Adrian?
Fuck off!
Give us his name, nicely.
Adrian… Sobolew.
Is he dead?
They stabbed him.
How do you know? Maybe you did it?
I swear I did not!
And then you ran from us.
I was afraid it was them.
Who?
Gregorczyk promised Adrian some money.
-For sex? -No.
-He had photos… -How do you know?
-I can't tell you. -What photos?
We should check Sobolew out.
Go ahead.
Go, go.
And I'll have a talk with Mr. Queer.
-Hi there. -I have a question.
I already said yes.
To what?
Your marriage proposal, silly.
Right. I have one more. May I see some files?
-Which? -Homicide, Adrian Sobolew.
Sure. I'll get them for you.
-As a friendly gesture. -I love you.
I know!
Hi.
Look…
The fucker bit me.
-But he confessed. -To what?
Whatever we want.
I could work like this.
What links a millionaire and a junkie?
The place of death?
SOBOLEW'S HOMICIDE
Since you're so smart, what would you do?
You have a witness. You'll figure it out.
Guard!
Knife! Get a knife!
Investigation's closed.
It's not perfect, but it's closed.
How's it closed?
The cab driver said the dead man knew Gregorczyk and he visited him.
He also knew the murdered Sobolew. He admitted to killing Gregorczyk.
He was beaten so badly he'd admit to killing the pope.
I'd like to thank you for getting this done quickly.
-Good job, get back to work. -Commander…
Sobolew's and Greg's cases are alike. We could investigate.
Why?
I want to be sure.
You don't know how to enjoy success.
-We have no proof. -We have a confession.
You want to question a dead man?
-There was a guy. -The guard denies it.
-He stepped out. -To the john!
You're going to officers' school. Leave this shit alone.
Take a week off. Rest.
-Good morning. -Morning.
I'm here because Kamil…
He's not at home.
But do come in.
Earlier today, this man came by…
-What man? Militia? -No idea.
He made a mess and left.
But Kamil had already left.
Fortunately!
Well? Come in!
I'll make you some tea.
It was the same during the war.
They came for my Franek at night.
They took him and that was it…
Sugar? No?
Sugar's fine.
I'm busy.
Just a moment.
-Isn't this your son? -Yes.
Robert.
Looks like you.
I'm off.
Anything wrong?
-Listen, that suicide case… -Is closed.
-Dad… -Firstly, not dad, only colonel.
Secondly, your superior says the case is closed.
Dismissed.
THE VILLA
Password?
Just kidding, come in.
Pretzel stick?
-Is Arek in? -No. But I am.
And Arek?
He's on his way.
Come on in.
House specialty.
-What could I have done? -Not signed it.
You'd have signed it too.
Take off this rag. It's warm in here.
-What kind of a name is "Hyacinth"? -Cheers.
They think "gays," and see flowers.
Leave that. It's his mother's favorite dress!
Queen Bona invites all to a ball!
Did you know that Hyacinth
was Apollo's lover?
Cold as fuck!
And who are you?
-Robert. -That's good.
Hi.
Some sister had to come up with this operation.
I put aside two pickles from every jar for three weeks!
-Three weeks! -You should've thought of cold cuts!
I wonder about the pickling process.
Hi.
And I wonder why "Freddy" is "Frederic,"
but "Brody" isn't "Broderick."
Tadzio's specialty…
Hot sausage!
Tadzio is such a wizard!
A true wizard!
-You want to burn us down? -Sure!
Maybe that would be best.
Enjoy!
Hold this.
-I heard there's a party. -Seems so.
Will you let me in?
-Make yourself at home. -Hi, Arek!
Hello! Look!
Turns out it was Gregorczyk.
I told you so.
What will you do?
Don't know. We'll have to be careful.
And the villa?
This has nothing to do with the villa, my dear.
Sure. Keep saying that.
Maciek… This isn't your problem.
It's everyone's problem.
No. It just isn't your problem.
Let's get back to the party.
I want to tell you something I want it to get through
I want to tell you something I want to be close to you
I heard you're from Krakow.
I've been there once.
You… Fuck off.
-Push it! -Go, Arek!
Come on, Roman!
The skier!
In a show of support, I suggest a loud "olé!"
Are you okay?
Want to borrow it?
You sensed him.
He's one of us.
I knew I saw him somewhere.
Maybe at the university.
He's our lecturer.
Cool party.
Maybe the last one like it.
They surveil us and book us.
-They'll forbid us from meeting. -Easy.
It won't come to that.
Poles don't like it when other Poles are happy.
They hate it.
Tadzio, you better stop cruising.
Or you'll catch AIDS, and even I won't help you.
Should I stay home like you old ladies?
At least they closed that brothel. Less temptation.
Your head's a brothel.
-Watch him. -I'm going too.
Stay.
I have the kids in the morning.
Sure. Some other time.
Robert?
You'll have a pretext to come back.
Sergeant Robert Mrozowski.
What do you want?
Where was this taken?
I already told them everything.
Whom?
Could you leave me alone?
I could give your naked photos to the students.
Or to the dean.
Who sent you?
I signed what you wanted.
The deal was you'd leave me be.
Robert Mrozowski.
Next time I meet with your superiors, I'll commend you.
For your inquisitiveness.
Excuse me, my soup is getting cold.
We got married in August.
They say it's the best month.
I'm not superstitious.
Have you picked a wedding dress?
Robert already got the fabric.
Robert?
Hey.
Maybe I could get something… new for myself?
Or I'll have something made?
Edek, put the cigarette out.
Well…
Will our Robert end up as an honest man?
He's the best cop I know.
What does "the best" mean these days?
If he doesn't step out of line, he could go far.
He does more than enough.
He should do just what's required.
-Which means? -You're not alone here.
Stay out of this.
You're not at work.
One moment.
Here…
This is to ensure that no…
important moment escapes you.
Thanks.
Thank you!
-May I? -Of course. Open it.
You shouldn't have.
The latest model.
Darling.
Everything all right?
Sure.
-You think your folks still do it? -Jesus.
Stop it!
What?
It's just that your dad is so tense.
He is.
Now, you take mine.
Robert!
Are you nervous?
What should I say?
The truth.
If he finds out about my dad, he'll kick us out.
Half of the nation has things to hide.
-God bless. -Bless you, aren't you coming in?
We'd like to get married, but we have a problem.
His father is in the security service.
Children don't answer for their parents.
We are militia officers.
It doesn't matter.
What matters is… if you believe in God.
Well, well, well!
-What brings you here? -I needed to catch my breath.
-You want anything? -Tea.
Vodka.
I remember where I know you from.
The party at Arek's.
I have a good memory.
I'm off.
-Where to? -Dude…
This city needs its hero.
Bye.
-Brother? -Not as far as I know.
-What's your plan for after Uni? -I don't think that far ahead.
You better, or they'll decide for you.
Stop bitching.
Keep watch.
Knock yourself out.
-What the hell? -Let's blow!
You nuts? Vandalism?
-Chill, it's under control. -You looking for big trouble?
Can't be afraid of everything.
Certainly not of freedom.
Hi.
What are you doing?
Robert. Someone's going to come in.
Robert…
Robert!
What's going on?
I love you. That's what's going on.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
All right… Get out of the archive.
Close the door.
What's this?
-They close cases with no evidence. -So?
That's nothing new.
You were supposed to return this to me. You'll get me fired.
No one will know.
Think about me sometimes.
I do.
No. All you think about is this.
You've left the wedding all to me.
Are you afraid to get married?
I'll drive you to get the dress.
You're not my driver.
We're in this together.
You're right.
-I'm not a driver. -What?
I'm not just a driver!
Let's go!
Where?
-To the villa. -What villa?
You drove this man.
If I tell you, I'm done.
I can't. They have no limits.
Neither do I.
Drive.
Wait here.
Remove everything.
Clear the walls, even them out, and paint them white.
Not a word to anyone.
Or there'll be trouble.
Start with this wall.
-What now? -Shut up!
Follow.
Follow him!
What now?
Back up, back up!
Arek!
I have to talk to Tadek. He mentioned a villa.
What happened?
Tadek's in the hospital.
Who the fuck did this to him?
You need to ask? Pigs.
The Militia stabbed him?
Is that so strange?
Motherfuckers.
You can't stay here.
I'll wait outside the hospital.
Whatever.
There's nothing to wait for.
Better drink to his health.
Come.
Where was he found?
-No idea. -Who found him?
-I don't know. -Arek.
Citizen!
Let's go outside.
Can I get you anything?
A bottle of your purest liquid.
We need to leave this country.
And go where?
Anywhere.
Nothing will ever change here.
To Tadzio.
Another one?
Sure.
What's with you?
You win, take the couch.
Everything alright?
Has something happened?
No, but something will.
The commander has recommended you two for decoration.
I put in a good word for you.
For what?
For that Gregorczyk case success.
-Success? -Congratulations.
DIPLOMA
You're supposed to do it?
They kicked me out of the school.
I'm finished anyway.
I'm here unofficially.
Then take a seat.
Who ordered the killings?
The Security Service?
What did you do for them?
CLASSIFIED
I got them boys.
From the university.
They blackmailed me.
I didn't know it would end this way.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me for a moment.
Mister! What are you doing?
Close the door.
You're behind this.
-Behind what? -All this.
You had me followed?
Shouldn't I have?
You want to play with queers?
Then come with me.
You know what to do.
Surname.
Krajewski.
Arkadiusz.

DECLARATION OF HOMOSEXUALITY
-I said, sign this. -No.
-You engaged in prostitution. -Not true.
We have proof.
Who else was in the villa?
Give us their names, and you can go home.
We'll forget about everything.
-I don't know any names. -Really?
Then how do you know Gregorczyk?
Who else was at the villa?
Names.
-Names, you son of a whore! -Enough!
-I'll say when it's enough. -He's innocent.
Innocent?
He queered up my son.
Leave.
Get out!
For you, this case is closed.
Now it's closed.
Arek!
You better get tested. You could have caught an STD!
I'm worried about him, girl.
Who was that?
They want to drown me for that investigation.
For once, be honest with me.
Or don't I deserve it?
Look at me.
It's your fault he's…
-He's what? Tell me! -Weak.
You're the one who's weak.
Do something about it.
I'm protecting him.
-I have orders from upstairs. -Don't give me that!
-I'm here for Dad's junk. -Sure.
PERSONAL FILE
-Hello? -Is Arek there?
He's with Tadek.
-In the hospital? -I don't know.
He said he was going to see him.
-You lied to me. -And you lied to me!
-You were at the villa! -Stop it! Tadek is dead.
You see? They're wasting everyone who was at the villa.
You have to leave.
I don't like to be bossed around.
But seems that you do.
So listen.
Fuck the hell off.
I'm sorry.
What for?
I lied…
I lied to everyone.
But not to yourself.
Congratulations.
Congratulations on your attitude.
Congratulations.
I have goosebumps.
Me too.
-Congratulations. -I saw the video.
Congratulations on your attitude.
I'm glad we have such dedicated officers.
We will keep a close eye on your career.
Congratulations.
Congratulations to all.
Now please enjoy some refreshments
and of course some dancing.
Music!
For you. Not in front of everyone.
-Let's dance. -I don't know how.
I'll lead. Come on.
Is that for me?
Will you dance?
I have to tell you something.
Don't say anything.
I have to.
You do.
But my son will be safe?
Please.
Yes, he will.
You are responsible for him.
Personally.
Car keys.
-Why? -Just give them to me.
Something's happened?
-Need help? -I have to do this alone.
Don't do anything stupid!
Arek!
We need to run.
They found you.
You have to trust me.
Come!
You'll live.
Hide.
Run.
-What? -Run.
What about you?
I won't go without you.
I'll find you. Now, run.
In 1985-87, as part of Operation Hyacinth,
thousands of LGBT community members were surveilled, detained, and questioned.
Over 11,000 "pink files" were created as tools against same-sex-oriented persons.
Most of these files have not been recovered.
