The Password
Nika is interrogated by her kidnappers about the password to a tablet they took from her. She reveals that it’s Nikola2002, which seems to be their end goal. However, what this password actually means is still a mystery.
Natan turns his attention to the woman, Nika. He quickly binds her with brass knuckles, but she manages to break free and stab him in the shoulder. Nika flees the scene, straight across this abandoned trainyard she’s been kept in. Although the woman with Natan catches up to her, she decides to let Nika go.
Meanwhile, Anna and Michal head over to Pawel’s, desperate to speak to Kaja. She claims that Adam and her have only just started to message each other, but he now knows about the spy software. Adam’s parents are forced to delete the app, as Adam messages Kaja and relays through her that he’s “disappointed in them both.” Apparently he’ll be back soon, but first he wants Kaja’s help.
As she skips out, Adam messages Michal and tells him that he’s not ready to come home yet and that he needs more time. Anna believes something is up and goes to the police. Only, Kaja has been there just prior to this and apparently the officer actually spoke to Adam himself on the phone. This directly contradicts Kaja’s account at school later on though, when she mentions that Adam is afraid of the police.
Kaja heads off to visit Guru, but when Gajos finds out, he hurries after her. Kaja finds Joanna but she feigns ignorance, claiming she doesn’t know who Adam is and he only showed up a few times. ..
When Kaja walks back from the club, she’s stopped by Bartosz, the man whom Anna hit originally. Thankfully, Gajos appears and manages to save her from a potentially dangerous situation. ..
Pawel begins his questioning of the police officer by asking about the candles and the abandoned scene. The officer admits that he doesn’t know what happened to them, but he does say something strange is going on in town. Pawel asks about Nika’s parents, and the officer says they came in earlier today and reported them missing. Pawel asks if anyone has seen Nika since they disappeared, and the officer says there is no one who has seen her since they went missing.
Kaja eventually heads home but she’s worried, given Adam has now stopped texting. At the same time, Nika is picked up and heads in to see the police, repeating her story. She also retraces her steps to find the abandoned house. However, when she and the police get there they find the place has been burned, with all evidence destroyed. Marek, one of the other officers, finds Renata’s body in a separate location, courtesy of a drone.
Anna is questioned by Inspector Oliwia from the Bureau at the station.
The Episode Review
The mystery around Adam has been frustrating many people, especially those who have gone missing in the past. There is no clear answer as to what happened to him and why he hasn’t shown up. Some people are speculating that he may have been kidnapped by the two kidnappers, but there is no evidence to support this theory. The whole thing feels a little too convoluted and disparate with the two kidnappers involved.
Guru is a tablet app that has been used by the police to track down criminals. It also has ties to the investigation into the murder of a prominent businesswoman. The show does not shy away from its complex plot, but it can be difficult to follow at times.
Despite that, Hold Tight is still a watchable film and there’s plenty to like with this one, given how many people appear to be holding secrets. ..
