When Helena confronts Roman about the flash drive, he comes clean and tells Helena about his involvement with Kazarski and how he created shell companies to front his illegal businesses. 

Roman admits to doing so because Kazarski had naked pictures of their daughter Monika and she wanted to get out of the mess she found herself in. 

The police raid Kazarski's house and find a torture room in the basement however no biological evidence is found at the Kazarski's place. All this while, he was being helped by a policeman named Spider.
