Greta learns from a prosecutor named Borys Gajewicz that the person marked with an X in the photo was his daughter, a girl named Alex who died 15 years ago. Borys is determined to uncover the truth behind the death of his daughter, and finds Greta in the course of this search.

Borys receives a call out of the blue to visit a killer named Marek, who serves a lifelong prison sentence. There he learns that the murder of his daughter was commissioned as a goal. Marek admits to be the perpetrator, but since he only got the name “Alex”, he did not know that his goal was a woman – an entire category of people he had previously refused.

Borys believes that Alex ‘death gives much more than in the eye. As he examines, he suspects a connection between Jacek and Alex. And he is right: it turns out that the two were called part of the same band.

The death of Jimmy

The kidnapper of Imposter-Jacek will soon be revealed as Robert, a committed killer who works for Sandra.

Memories return

When Greta remembers the events that she had forgotten for 15 years, her mind is flooded with new information.
