Cast
[edit]- Cezary Pazura as Deputy Cezary "Czarek" Cezary - the main character of the series, a nervous, eccentric and unpleasant policeman who always gets in troubles while trying to solve problems. He was previously in a relationship with his classmate Jola who currently works as a prostitute. Czarek joins the group in the first episode and is mistaken for being the new precinct chief. Because of his attitude he's always in the Chief's bad book and is promised to never get promoted. He is an orphan and has two sisters - a twin one and a younger one named Agnieszka of whom he has custody and who is a high school student. Initially Czarek doesn't reciprocate Kasia's feelings towards him, but eventually falls in love with her in episode 29. He is the only character to appear in all episodes. According to Cezary Pazura Czarek's personality was inspired by John Cleese's character Basil Fawlty, while his portrayal is based mainly on Jim Carrey and Charlie Chaplin.
- Marek Perepeczko as Captain Władysław "Władek" Słoik - the chief of the station who is in love with his bulldog named Pershing. He is a widower and a communist and has his position due to contacts. He once saved Bolesław Bierut's life with a heavy machinegun stored in the station. He doesn't like Czarek from the beginning and tries anything to get rid of him. Has a poster of Janosik in his office, which is an allusion to Perepeczko's most famous role. The Chief appears in both seasons.
- Aleksandra Woźniak as Sr. Deputy Kasia - the main female character of the show, Kasia is a beautiful but not very smart policewoman with background in nursing. She falls in love with Czarek at first sight and does anything to get in a relationship with him. In the second season she is promoted to Senior Sergeant. She eventually becomes Czarek's girlfriend and gets pregnant with his child. Kasia appears in both seasons.
- Marek Walczewski as Sr. Aspirant Stępień - an alcoholic deputy chief and the oldest of the group. He has enormous sight problems such as daltonism and extreme myopia (-40 diopter), causing him to wear binoculars with glasses similar to those used for drink shots. Stępień also has problems with his second wife and constantly wants to split up with her. He was previously the best cop in the Homicide Bureau of the Capital Police Station, but was removed to the Station 13 to wait for the retirement. In the last episode of the Season One, Czarek and Kasia decided to give him their reward for hunting a wanted criminal to fund Stępień's eye treatment in America, which actually revealed to be a scam. Eventually Stępień retires from the job by the decision of his higher-ups (much to his dismay) and is replaced by Rysio as the new deputy chief. Despite that he sometimes visits the station. He appears in both seasons.
- Piotr Zelt as Sr. Deputy Arnold "Arnie" - a not-too-bright musclehead with a heart of gold.
