What Comes Next
Tremer begins her story by buying drugs and sitting down to try and find some peace. Half Boot arrives though and ends up scuffling with her, prompting Tremer to up and leave. In doing so, she runs into Klara, who happens to be in the hallway.
After embracing, the pair head up to the rooftop to talk. Klara wants to know about her mother but Tremer avoids the question, eventually deciding they should brave the water outside.
After an incident with Klara almost getting knocked under the water, they were picked up by the French authorities. As they rode out, we saw a snapshot of different townsfolk, each making the most of this horrible situation. ..
Marczak returns to the TV station after seeing the bodies at the morgue, and with the radio in hand. Given Klara wasn’t at the morgue, he’s still holding out hope that she could still be alive. He pleads with Ewa to put out some sort of broadcast the next time she’s on-air.
Thankfully, Klara shows up at the TV station later that afternoon, and her father is relieved that she’s alive.
Jasmina returns to her home country after leaving it years ago. She admits that she thought it was better for her daughter not to have a mother at all, rather than one who was absent or shitty. Klara responds, “You thought wrong.” ..
Jasmina’s mother admits that she is a terrible mother, but believes that she could try and turn into a cool friend for her. She even invites her over to the Netherlands to see where she’s living and meet the dogs too. The first step before that is for Jasmina to meet her mother.
Andrzej Rębacz is arrested for air safety violations. There’s footage of him shooting a flare up at the copter and he’s come under fire for it. Although the residents in Kety are not happy and look set to riot, Andrezj goes quietly and agrees to the officers’ terms.
The community comes together to overcome the tragedy that befell them after floodwaters start to decrease.
How does High Water end?
Ten months after the flood, Tremer is back in her home country but she’s called away for another work assignment. Van Hoek isn’t exactly happy but Jasmina convinces him that everything will be okay and there won’t be another flood like the one they experienced ten months ago. ..
Jasmina shows up with Marczak for the hearing, where the latter meets that slimy minister, the one who dumped him earlier in the series. This time though Marczak holds his nerve and heads inside with Jasmina. Just before they both give their statements, passing Andrzej on the way, we learn that Jasmina is actually pregnant. ..
In the final episode of the series, we learn that in 1997, 56 people died and 40,000 lost everything they had as a result of the flood. The damages were estimated to be around 12 billion PLN; the biggest disaster Poland faced since World War II. ..
