01x05 - Episode 5

[bunniefuu]

A Bar Mitzvah is a sacred,
one-time event.

I brought your dad's Tefillin set.

He insists on using it, just wants
to make sure it's kosher.

No one told you
the head piece is messed up?

I'll have someone fix it for you.

Everything set for tomorrow?
- There's nothing to set, it's just us.

I think I'll get him new Tefillin.

I have only the arm piece, the Rabbi
is still fixing the head piece.

Why did you slaughter that kid?
- He was already dead when I arrived.

Would you rather we sell the debt to one
of the families we work with? Fine.

I'm on it.
I'll get the money.

Give the drugs back to Andreos,
they're Abed's.

I don't have the full amount.
I sold some of it.

I need the goods.
I must deliver it today, I have no choice.

I spoke to Samuel,
he promised to try to help.

I can't deem it suicide
without an autopsy.

I think I found a solution.

She'll sign for an autopsy
once she's here. Only problem is,

she can't leave the Territories,
she's denied entry by the GSS.

Why'd you let the widow in?
- Are you actually interrogating me?

Someone brought her here.
- Screw you, I've got no issues.

You will, once they start digging
and link Riad to Rasmi.

"Israel Entry Permit"

You did this?

It wasn't easy, but a widow
must be allowed to bury her husband.

I left you when you needed me most.
- Let's not talk about it.

You made a decision, I'm sure
you had your reasons. We're past that.

I'm not sure I am.

I was in the middle of
a very big deal with your husband.

Riad was about to go bankrupt.

That's the reason he wanted
to sell the library to the Russians.

There is a way out.
- How?

Sell me the property,
the loan will be forgiven,

and you'll even have
some money to start over.

Just one more thing.
There needs to be an autopsy.

The autopsy will conclude it was m*rder.
- Then we'll find them a m*rder*r.

Where do you want to look for him?
- Where she'll manage to find him,

but it's got to be a criminal act,
no other motive.

[I was sure those b*stards
came to k*ll me.]

[ARABIC]
[This isn't the full amount.]

Explain it to me later, in custody.

Custody?
[For what?]

m*rder.

Lock your bike, pal.

This is a holy site.

Where to, bro?
- To lay Tefillin and say Kaddish.

You can enter only between 7:00-10:30,
without Tefillin.

It's the Temple Mount, bro,
Jews can't pray there.

I came from France
especially for that,

it's my father's memorial. I have
the Western Wall Rabbi's approval.

Even God can't approve this.
Sorry, bro.

I'm not your bro!
You're an Arab!

Who let you serve here?!
It's a holy site!

I'm freezing my a*s off.

There isn't a soul outside.

[ARABIC]
[How could you pin this m*rder on me?!]

[When my lawyer hears about this, ]

[I'll f*ck you so hard,
you'll waddle around like penguins!]

What lawyer?
This isn't an interrogation room.

I'm still deciding
whether you'll even get to the station.

Your prints are on the cocaine,
on the rope you hanged him on,

all the findings lead to you,

which means that in the next 24 hours,
you'll be arrested for Riad's m*rder.

It can't be prevented.
- But it wasn't me!

What do you want me to do?
- Nothing.

All you need to do is keep quiet.

There'll be some noise at first, but it's
circumstantial evidence, it won't hold.

How do you know?
- I'll make sure.

You'll be home within two weeks tops

with a public apology from
the Israeli Police, with your drugs,

and with free reign
to increase the amounts.

Why should I trust you?

You have no choice.

Return this to the evidence room.

We just need to ensure
she searches the place.

- How?

Who closed off the crime scene?
- Forensics.

Then they must've decided too soon that the
knife Galia found was the m*rder weapon.

Shira won't be able to ignore it,
she'll have to return to the warehouse.

I see. I'll talk to them.

How could a Druze officer stop a Jew
from entering the Temple Mount?

And how could my bike
have been stolen there?

We have an ancestral right
regarding that site.

My father was a Holocaust survivor,
and I can't pray there?

You're right, sir, it's not up to us.
- Who's it up to then?

Shira, our senior investigations officer,
will see to your every need.

I want that cop arrested
and my bike to be found.

They're very rare.
Turbo Creo SL Expert.

Why aren't you writing it down?

I remember it by heart, sir.

Don't worry, it'll be taken care of
by the end of the day.

Check the cams and find the bike.

Are you kidding me?
Why bother with a bike?!

Because he's the cousin
of the Western Wall Rabbi

who we don't want on our bad side,
and because he donates to Jerusalem,

"Yad Vashem" and other damn NPOs.

So the Rabbi is a protected animal too?
- He doesn't need our protection.

Yes? -Efi's here.
- Good. Print out the photos and call Amir.

What's going on
with Riad's autopsy?

We're waiting
for the Turks' pathologist.

I knew it. Keep me posted
and find that moron's bike. Today.

Coffee.

How can I help you?

I'm here to help you.

There's an emissary of the Russian
patriarch wandering around here.

Kiril Slivnov. We try to know
everything that goes on in the city.

And do you also know
he's here to do some shopping?

Do you know what property?

But I do know he's here with a sum of money
that should make you worry.

Why are you telling me this?
- Because I'm an American patriot

and I'm worried about
the Russians' attempts

to spread their tentacles
all over the world.

I can't let that happen in Jerusalem.

Let His Holiness know
that I'm at his service.

[Damn it...]

You're saying you didn't see them
leave with the goats?

We did, after the fact.

This is the "Mabat 2000" footage.

See? The goats are in the sacks.

We haven't got their names but they're
clearly animal rights activists.

Their photos are out there.
It'll take some time, but we'll find them.

You think I'm falling for that?

I had the privilege of commanding
the IDF's top brigade.

I lost some dear friends along the way,
but I always knew it was a higher calling.

IDF soldiers shed their blood
for our sakes,

and honest Jews gave up their lives
so we could live in this city.

I heard it's your son's
Bar Mitzvah in two days.

Does he know his dad is betraying
a heritage that cost people their lives?

You worry about the dead.
I'm interested in those still living here.

And don't mention my son.

This isn't over.

Enjoy the Bar Mitzvah.

That went better than I expected.

It'll blow up in our faces,
it's just a matter of time.

With any luck,
I won't be here when it does.

I don't get how
you're still surviving here.

I'm not.

You're not gonna have a breakdown
five days before the holidays?

I'm touched by your concern.

Remember the drugs we found on Rasmi?
- What about them?

We figured out the source
and we're tracking him down.

A local dealer.
Abed Abdel-Kader.

Seems like a big drug deal
that went south.

Could it be linked to Riad?

Doubtful.

What?

- The Western Wall Rabbi, he's
been nagging me all morning.

Did he b*tch about his French cousin's
damn bike to you too?

Don't know, I didn't answer.

I'm headed to the Tower of David.
- Why?

Itamar is laying Tefillin today, remember?
- Sorry, I forgot.

Congrats. Excited?

I bet he was up all night.

I meant you.

Welcome to Jerusalem, Kiril.

If you please.

Here, near the school, you'll see
many folks with bikes, often stolen ones.

But you should also check...

"Forensics lab"

Yes?

- Regarding the knife,
I re-checked the report,

and we might've overlooked something
because we didn't check the whole scene.

What do you mean?
- We didn't manage, we were in a rush.

Why?
- Riots were starting to break out,

and Manny ordered us to leave ASAP.
- Alright. -Sorry.

It's on you.
Have them returned today.

"Roi from PIU"

Precinct Commander's orders.

I'll call you back.
- Okay.

Since the Soviet Union fell apart
and God is ruling Russia again,

thousands of Russian believers
come to Jerusalem every year.

But it is not reflecting
on our assets in the city.

This situation is unacceptable.

Allow me to correct you
with some facts.

There are 17
Christian denominations here together.

Under other circumstances, we would
be already up to our knees in blood,

but here we are lucky
to have the status quo.

But maybe it is time for the Greeks
who control most of the properties here

to show some good will too.
- No, it is not time.

There are 115 million
Russian believers.

I don't think they would be happy
that His Eminence is ignoring their voice.

You can be certain the voices of your flock
will be heard in Jerusalem.

I know.

If he's able to buy even one tile,

you'll go right back
to your father's store

to sell fake antiques
to stupid tourists.

According to his widow,
a complaint actually was filed to the PIU.

Are you sure you found nothing?
- Look, Amir's name appears often,

but it somehow always
gets closed very quickly.

Regarding the other matter -
I don't see any links to Riad Bsharat.

How many years back are we talking?
- One sec.


- 13? What mess are you getting into?

It's nothing, don't worry.
I just have to tie up some loose ends.

The last time you said that,
you ended up in the hospital.

Let me check. I'll call you back.

Between us, right?
- Of course. Trust me.

Bye. -Thanks, Roi, you're the best.
- Gladly. Bye. -Bye.

Amir's busy, he sent me over.

How can I help? Putting
together a team for the stolen bike?

Were you the one who found Riad's knife?
- Yes.

It's not the knife that k*lled Rasmi.

Professional. Is that the knife?
- Or something like it.

Did you search the entire scene?

No, but Forensics arrived
after I took Salah.

Turns out their search was sloppy.

We're going back there.
- Now? -Yes.

We have a problem.
- What?

I gave him the new Tefillin set
and he refuses to use it.

I went to the Western Wall Rabbi to get
your dad's set. He says you've got it.

What's that supposed to mean?
Of course he has it.

Son of a b*tch...

You have to resolve this, Amir,
he's having a fit.

He must've thrown it somewhere.

Did we look in here?
- Have no idea.

sh*t.
- What?

The Rabbi is busy.

Hey, why?!

Amir, what a surprise.

Meet Shlomi, he's a dear, important man...
- I know who he is.

Tell one of your lackeys
to get me my Tefillin set, right now.

Sadly, there are some issues with it, which
is why I've been calling you all morning.

There's my cousin from France
who got a pretty sour welcome,

and my friend here who tells me
you've got something he paid for.

You're using my son
for your shady deals? You b*stard!

Don't disrespect
the Honorable Rabbi.

Bring my son's Tefillin now, or I'll burn
you and your laundering business down.

"Honorable Rabbi".

How could you miss this?
- Don't know, everything was so rushed...

What I don't get is
what he's doing with all this stuff.

There was never any evidence
that he was dealing drugs.

Amir mentioned it this morning.

Amir? What did he say?
- That they're looking for a dealer

whose prints were found
on Rasmi's drugs.

Who?
- Abed something.

Analyze the prints. If it's the same
source, it changes everything. Go.

Know where Amir is?
He's not answering.

At the Tower of David,
for his son's Tefillin ceremony.

Here it is.

Okay?

Yes.
- Let's begin.

Come, Itamar.

Today, Itamar, you take another step
towards adulthood

and acceptance
of the commandments.

This small forum
was an amazing choice

at this significant and beautiful place,
the Tower of David.

Ready?

The Tefillin.

The arm piece.

Thanks.

Ready?

Before we begin,
I'd like to say something

to Mom and Dad, okay?
- Sure.

Ilan said that having a Bar Mitzvah
turns me into an adult.

I just want to ask

to be a good adult like you are,

because you're
the best people I know.

I know I'm not an ordinary kid,

I can't play soccer, ride a bike,

or even tie my shoelaces.

So I want to thank you

because I know
it's hard to raise me,

though I never hear you complain.

We couldn't have asked
for a better kid.

We're glad to be your parents,
and no obstacle will change that.

Come, Itamar.

Yarmulke, Dad.

Remember what we learned.

The knot must always stay
in contact with the chamber.

In the middle of the bicep,
directed toward the heart.

Fasten it and recite the blessing:

"Blessed are You, Lord our God,
King of the universe,"

"Who has sanctified us
with His commandments"

"and commanded us to lay Tefillin."

Your dad is so emotional,
his hands are trembling.

"Roi from PIU: I had to dig
quite deep... take care."

"Investigation of charges
pressed by Riad Bsharat"

"against chief detective Amir..."

Hello?
- Samuel, hi, it's Shira.

Do you have time for a game?
- Yes, of course.

[You could've at least put it
on the sports channel.]

[I knew they'd send you.]

Eat before it gets cold.

[So they got you
used to eating their sh*t, ]

[or did you do it yourself
to please them?]

Open your mouth for anything but eating,
and I'll f*ck you up.

[Why, don't like talking Arabic?]

[No matter what you do for them,
you'll never be like them.]

[A mutt can never turn pedigree.]

[Hit me all you want!]

[It won't change the truth,
and you know it!]

Yes, Manny, the bike was found.
- Where is it?

My investigator
will bring them over.

Tell him to hurry.
- Of course. Bye.

Busy saving the city?

Sure.

Just found a stolen bike.

I saw Amir's son today.

I had no idea he was...

Special.

Sad story.

You made a mistake here.
- Why?

It was an interesting opening
and you couldn't resist.

Trying to hurt my confidence?

What happened there?
What's the story?

Karni was in her 7th month.

They lived in a village
outside of Jerusalem

and Amir was here in the city
during some riots that broke out

because somebody moved a rock
or something.

She called him because
she suddenly started bleeding,

but he couldn't get back in time.

She gave birth at home, alone,

and there were complications,
as you saw.

It turned their lives upside down.

Surgeries abroad,
the finest specialists all over the world,

everything revolved around the boy.

Is that what turned him
into a dirty cop?

He's my best friend in this place.

Who doesn't make enough money to pay
for everything you just told me about.

Everybody here is dirty.

And if you stick around long enough,

you'll find out just how flexible
your moral compass can be.

I doubt that.

You're not focused on the game.

You're sacrificing the bishop?

You'll find out.

Sorry, I guess I'll find out next time.
I need to get back to work.

You remind me of him
when he first came to the city.

Pursuing justice,
no compromises, naive...

And now?
- One thing I can say for sure,

he hates everyone equally.

What are you doing here?

My son.

His ear hurts,
I came to get medicine.

My son has an ear infection.
- You have a prescription?

It's okay, I'll give you drops and you can
send me the doctor's prescription later.

I wanted to thank you for the autopsy.
I know it was a tough decision.

Say, was Riad left or right-handed?
Which was his dominant arm?

Right-handed.

Hey, Shira, what's up?
- Hey.

Got time for lunch?
Have you eaten?

What did she want?

What everybody wants -
to know if she's on the right path.

It's just a standard
transfer of ownership.

You are now officially a citizen
of the United States of America.

Congratulations.

You should disappear right after the
funeral. The Russians will not be pleased.

The Russians and the Muslims -

They will always remember me as a traitor
who sold the library to Jews.

Hello?
- Galia,

I think I found a solution
to your cash flow problem.

Can I lay Tefillin every day now?
- Sure, that's the idea.

Thank you.
It was perfect, he's ecstatic.

Are we gonna cry like this
when he reads his Torah segment?

I thought about coming home today,
it could be nice.

It's best if you didn't. He wants to stay
in the city, sleep over at your place.

I told him it might not be convenient.
- No, it's fine.

Is it over?

Is it all over between us, Karni?

I'll tell him he can sleep over,
he'll be happy.

Walk us out, maybe?
- Can't, gotta go.

Looks like you're going to scold me
for something.

Just the opposite.
I want to thank you.

I've missed you.

Why don't we rent a room
at the American Colony hotel?

It's a bit too soon for me.

My body and I have been
on the outs since the incident.

I want us to talk about it.

About your attack
in Judea and Samaria.

I don't.

I just ran into a photo of you in uniform.
- Really? Where?

I went over some papers about Riad,
and a photo of you and Amir popped.

You've gone far. He started out as my
officer when I was precinct commander.

A good, ambitious cop,
you wouldn't recognize him.

So he must've consulted with you before
accusing Riad of k*lling Rasmi's father.

I wish.
He'd have saved us a big headache.

You don't think Riad k*lled him?
- What I think doesn't matter.

We had insufficient evidence.
It was a dead case

that only helped Riad position himself.
- So Amir let him go?

Are you interrogating me, Shira?
- Is that how you feel?

I'm just asking questions.

I guess you want answers.

I have some questions too.

Why didn't you tell me
you were pregnant?

I wanted to, but when I woke up in
the hospital and realized I lost the baby,

it seemed pointless.
- You should've told me.

What for?

My turn.

Why is the PIU
sending you this material?

So that I know where I'm heading.
- Nowhere.

When Riad was released,
he accused Amir of stealing his money.

So? He could have also accused him
of stealing Mohammed's horse.

As soon as Amir busted him,
Riad swore he'd f*ck him over.

But PIU found something there,
they just couldn't get an indictment.

What are you doing?
- My job.

You job is to guard this city,
and you're doing the opposite.

By asking tough questions?
- By digging for antiques.

You've seen how digging ends here.

It was Amir's first case,
mistakes were made, we moved on.

What mistakes?

Shira, you're here barely a week
and you've already turned to PIU.

I love you, maybe a bit more than I should,
but you've gone too far too fast,

and you're not only getting yourself
into trouble, but me too.

I brought you here,
I'm accountable for you.

Are you sure you want
to hang that here?

I told you we found


If you thought it was his,
you wouldn't be here now.

I need you to find
Abed Abdel-Kader for me.

Doesn't Amir know where he is?

If Amir doesn't find something,
it means he's doesn't want to.

Maybe,

but I need him or anything that can give me
some info about him that evening.

If I find him, what do you think
will happen to him?

A cop will accidentally run him over?
He'll overdose?

Did you know he was
going bankrupt?

Is that why he became
a drug dealer?

He was facing foreclosure.

I can't access all his paperwork,
I'd like you to look into it.

I sure will. It makes no sense.

But it's a fact.

The coke we found
was filed under Riad's name.

Until I have Abed,
that picture could

quickly turn into a
picture of Pablo Escobar.

Now it's straight.

Yes?

- I checked Jamal Wated's
case like you asked.

You should come see this.
- Coming.

Keep me posted.

I can't sleep here, Dad.

If it was the Nike or Coca Cola sign,
could you fall asleep?

Yes.

Well, it's the same, Itamar, trust me.
Just more destructive, that's all.

You were very grown up today.

I'll hop out to work for 30 minutes
and then we'll go out for ice cream, okay?

Galia.

Sorry I'm late.

Where's Samuel?

- He told me you have a
slight cash flow problem.

And you wanna lend me money?
- After last time? No way.

So what do you want?
- I have a better offer for you.

You know who this is?

The Russian patriarch's special emissary.
- What's he got to do with me?

Let's just say it'll take you a long time
to lose all the money he's got.

Are you suggesting I rob him?

I'm offering a solution
to your problems.

What's in it for you?
- A solution to my problem.

Why don't you send your men?

If something goes wrong,
the Greek church can't afford

to declare w*r
against its Russian sister.

Amir won't like this.
- That's why I'm talking to you.

If you're hustling me,
even your holy spirit won't help you.

[Isn't this better?]

[Told you, you're gotten used
to eating their crap.]

[Maybe.]

[Next time, homemade Druze food.]

[Deal.]

[Sorry about all this.]

[You know what I like about you?]

[Nothing.]

How'd it go with Itamar?

It was very moving.

Where'd you find the drugs?
I thought we searched the entire storeroom.

We overlooked
a shelf in the file cabinet.

I didn't think you'd come now,
it can wait till morning.

No, we've been looking for him
since yesterday.

I hear his prints were on the drugs
we found on Rasmi.

Yes, this has been the MO for years -
local criminals hire dignified clerics

who hold diplomatic passports.
Coke, MDMA, LSD,

we once even found weapons.
- How many users live here?

Most of the goods leave the city,
but the distribution center is here.

You think Riad was involved?
- So it seems,

I just don't know how.
Abed will answer that.

If he's involved,
then I might've been wrong.

Meaning?

- If it was over drugs, then
perhaps he k*lled Riad and...

made it look like a suicide.

I'm glad that you're saying that.

There's something else
that doesn't fit the story.

What's the direction of the cut?
- From right to left.

This is Rasmi,
and this is his dad.

From left to right.

- The first is left handed,
the second is right handed.

Riad was right-handed.

He might've k*lled Rasmi's dad,
but not Rasmi.

Rasmi's k*ller is left-handed.

Told you we'd look high and low for it.
We found it.

Thanks, folks.

Nervous?

Yes, a bit.

You wanted to learn
to ride a bike, right?

Yes.

Ready?

Face forward, and never look down.
Off you go.

Go.

It doesn't count if you hold me.

It's okay.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Everyone falls.
The trick is to get up.

Try again?

"Pathology Institute"

Yes?
- We finished the autopsy on Riad Bsharat.

It was m*rder.
- Correct. Strangulation.

How did you know?
- Had a hunch.

Got anymore details?

- It's all in the report
I'm sending you now.

I'm waiting.
