They're able to finally crack that and figure out what the card was that was being used.

And when they figure out and crack this card that was being used, they realize the same caller had placed a lot of other calls.

Who were those calls to?

There were two Christian Bala's family members and friends and colleagues, everybody in Christian Bala's circle.

So that was the first really strong piece of evidence, not suggestive, that Christian Bala was the one from the payphone who had placed the call to the advertising firm that lured Darius out.

The next question though was, what is the connection?

One person reported that at one point he had been in a bar and he had seen his ex-wife flirting with a bartender.

This was just a few weeks after Darius was killed.

And he was screaming drunkenly that nobody can talk to my wife that way.

Who says that one time at a bar, she had seen Christian Bala's ex-wife talking to somebody.

And it was none other than Darius Januszewski.

So she had been very resistant to be interviewed for a long time.

And I don't know the reason why.

Perhaps it was—I mean, I only know what Jacek wondered.

Could it be because she was afraid of Christian?

Was it because she thought he was innocent?

Was it because they had a child together and she didn't want to incriminate him?

But eventually, Jacek goes to speak with her.

And she had never read the novel Amok, but then he shows her portions of the novel and these very, very sadistic descriptions of a woman in the novel who very much mirrors her, the ex-wife.

And at that point, she's willing to talk.
