* ATeamFiring: zig-zagged in a scene where Siara and Lipski's goons shoot at each other at a parking lot. They exchange dozens of shots without taking cover and none of the shots seem to hit... then the goons drop down, one by one. Then it turns out they ALL faked being shot to be safer and see how things develop.

* CassandraTruth: Kiler spends the first act repeating he isn't "The Killer", but no one believes him - especially after the salt shaker incident. After meeting with Siara, he more or less decides to go "SureLetsGoWithThat".

* FauxAffablyEvil: Siara is very friendly towards Kiler, when they get drunk together, he gets very sentimental and breaks down crying, saying he's "surrounded by criminals" and Kiler is his only friend... except Siara is a ruthless gangster, an adulterer (who sleeps, if his wife is to be believed, with female students from a nearby school), and he stands to gain a lot from his "friendship" with Kiler - and is careful not to mention just how much.

To his surprise, "his" reputation gains him a lot of respect from the inmates. After he kills a fellow prisoner completely by accident, even more people start to believe that Jerzy is the real deal. While being transported to another prison, he's broken out by mobsters working for "Siara" - Poland's most fearsome crime lord and Killer's frequent employer. With the police, gangsters and rest of the country taking him for the Killer, Kiler decides that explaining won't do him any good and decides to give in and "be" the Killer - especially after he learns about a container full of cash that Siara and his partner, senator Ferdynand Lipski, acquired by a LandmarkSale of the Warsaw's Palace of Culture and Science to a Latino mob boss.
