Why did you slaughter that kid?
- He was already dead when I arrived.
I can't deem it suicide
without an autopsy. Impossible.
The autopsy will conclude it was m*rder.
- Then we'll find them a m*rder*r.
I panicked and choked
him with my belt.
Why did you hang him?
- I had to stage it as a suicide
to keep his lunatics off my back.
We both know Abed didn't do it.
- What else do we know?
That you're covering for
something or someone.
There's a guy in there who needs
a cell. Put him in with these guys.
Want us to sell the debt to one
of the families we work with? Fine.
I'm on it. I'll get the money.
I spoke to Samuel, he
promised to try to help.
He told me you have a
slight cash flow problem.
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 carrying.
Are you suggesting I rob him?
The Russians come with full pockets.
- 10,000 before we even start talking.
I need to know that there is
somebody I can call if I need.
Be available.
I don't think it's a good idea.
- That never stopped us before.
They should've left her
bleeding in Judea and Samaria.
After she brought down those
officers, some hilltop youths attacked her
and beat her to a
pulp. No cops arrived.
He might've k*lled Rasmi's dad, but
not Rasmi. Rasmi's k*ller is left-handed.
Someone made sure to lead
Riad to Rasmi in order to frame him.
Rasmi was already
dead when he arrived.
Someone's playing us.
We must find him, quickly.
"From Galia: Jesus
witnessed Rasmi's m*rder."
He dropped this.
Nobody can identify that crap.
I want my parents to be proud
of me. I have to do something big.
"Strangulation by leather
strap. 1.2 cm wide."
Maybe I can help you. But I
have to know I can trust you.
I'm here to confess.
- To what?
Riad's m*rder.
Heathens!
Go away! Shame on you!
Why are you here
again? To provoke?!
[ARABIC] [To hell with God!]
[He should've had
a bigger funeral.]
[I can't believe he
was a drug dealer.]
[He was a good person.
- He was. What a pity...]
[I'm sorry for your loss]
[Whose is that?]
[My dad's.]
[Your mom's waiting for you.]
[Will you find who k*lled him?]
You managed to bury him quietly, but
we both know that Abed didn't k*ll him.
This isn't over, Amir.
I haven't spoken to him yet, but
if there's anything that can help...
Such as?
- An alibi, who he was with, anything.
I want to be at his interrogation.
- No. It's time he managed on his own.
So why are you here?
Aside from not wanting to
call us during the Sabbath.
Although he's not a minor, I
felt obligated to inform you.
Thought you might want
to consult with a lawyer.
No.
You know he didn't do it, but you
think he's covering for someone.
You came to shake the
boat and see what floats.
If Shaul wants a
lawyer, he'll say so.
Thanks for caring.
I don't know what he
wants, I know what he needs.
Rivka...
Rivka, he doesn't know what he's doing.
- Then it's time he learned.
That's the lesson he
needs. It's time he learned.
He won't turn into Elyashiv.
I don't want him to.
- Are you sure?
Get dressed, we're late
for the morning prayer.
Where's the money?
Are you allowed to discuss
money on the Sabbath?
I told you to leave my mom outta
this. She's got nothing to do with it.
You have till tonight.
Where is he?
- He'll be here soon.
Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Congratulations on your Bar Mitzvah.
- Thank you.
He's not answering.
A Bar Mitzvah boy, huh?
The kid has grown up.
They didn't have
your favorite tobacco.
Riad had a pin like that too.
Really?
I'll check his file, see
if anything's there.
I told you, it's someone
who knows him.
Go inside. -Okay, I'll go inside.
- I'll be right there.
What?
Aren't you going in?
After I finish my cigarette.
I'm out of here.
Yes?
- You won't believe who's
been here since last night.
Shaul. I heard he confessed
to Shira about k*lling Riad.
Where is she?
- Beats me.
He's there alone now.
She's letting him sweat.
I'm on my way.
Careful, it's hot.
I wanted to bring you some food,
but I wasn't sure it was kosher.
I'm listening.
What do you want to hear?
I already told you.
I visited your home.
Saw a photo of Elyashiv. I heard
he was k*lled in a training accident.
He's got nothing to do with this.
Why are you talking about him?
I told you, I k*lled Riad,
because he was
destroying our holy of holies.
We're in the middle
here, if you don't mind.
What are you doing here?
Confessing to k*lling Riad.
I need to use the bathroom.
But you didn't k*ll him.
- How do you know?
Ask her, she saw me that
night outside the storeroom,
after he burnt the flag. I got in
from the back and strangled him.
And then made it look
like a suicide, huh?
I hanged him to humiliate him.
Can you give us a moment?
No.
Shaul, you could pay
a serious price for this.
Please, whatever
it is, we can fix this.
You don't care about me.
You don't care about anyone.
All you want is peace and quiet.
- Enough, this isn't a game!
Cut the crap,
before it's too late!
I need to use the bathroom...
- Sit!
Pee in your pants.
And start getting used to it, because
that's what you'll be doing in jail.
Get up.
Please take him to the bathroom.
Why?
He's tying himself to the
crime scene, we have cams,
he has a motive and he confessed.
I thought that's all we need.
With Abed it was enough, right?
He didn't do it, and you know that.
- You know that. I don't.
I just think he didn't do
it. There's a difference.
You want me to be sure, too?
Show me what's behind the curtain.
Until then, he's all I got.
- He'll fail the reenactment.
Why would there
be a reenactment?
A reenactment of Shaul in Riad's storeroom
before the holidays sounds like a big mess.
In the meantime, you and
your friends stay away from him.
I have no problem with you
extorting me, but not at his expense.
It's up to you.
I should inform Manny.
Damn that Shaul.
- He's a godsend.
The only one who
can save us now.
Are you for real? You know
what'll happen in the city?
- f*ck the city.
Our necks are on the line
here. Let him take the heat.
It won't hold up in court, but it'll give
us time to understand what we're doing.
What do you need to understand?
- How do we get outta this?!
She's on to us!
- She's guessing.
To get outta this, we
must find Rasmi's k*ller.
The kid will fail the
reenactment anyway, Faras.
- What reenactment?
She's right. Manny
won't approve it.
This is our chance, Amir, she'll take
us down. She knows what she's doing.
No, she doesn't.
I need to meet with the
counter-t*rror1st unit. I've got this.
Are you still there?
- Yes.
What did you find?
- We're still not sure
about the leather type.
We managed to gather some
strap fibers during the autopsy.
It was sent for further testing but
it'll take time due to the Sabbath,
so you'll need to be patient.
- I'm waiting.
It's urgent.
- Of course. Bye.
Good Sabbath.
- Good Sabbath.
I need to speak with you.
I want to talk to you
about the holiday.
You know, it's a fast
day, not a holiday.
I have something special for you.
For all of you, especially for this day.
We don't talk business
on the Sabbath.
Even when it has to do
with the Muslim library?
Efi?
It's not a good day for jokes, Samuel.
- You think I'm joking?
It's a done deal, Efraim.
Efi, are you coming?
I'll be in touch.
Hello?
- Good morning, Kiril.
This evening, as planned.
- Good.
Make sure the Greeks aren't on your back.
- Of course.
[I spoke with my mom.]
[She boils mint leaves,
it's good for gas.]
[Are you coming home this week?
- No, only after the holidays.]
[Did you take time off?
- Yes. I took a week.]
[The kids really miss you. Are you okay?
- I'm fine.]
[Take care.
- I will.]
[Love you very much.
- Bye.]
I bought too much.
What's it called?
- Muttabaq. -Yep.
How old are they?
- 10 months.
This is Adham, and that's Kayar.
- Cute.
What's it like to be a dad?
- Beats me, I'm never there.
Don't you have kids?
- I like my job too much.
Maybe because
you don't have kids.
Maybe you're right.
I know you made sure
Abed was put in that cell.
It was no coincidence.
And I know that something
happened in the storeroom.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
- You didn't instigate it,
but I assume you know
you'll pay a price too.
You're lucky to still
have a narrow way out,
and I hope you use it,
because it's going to close soon.
Good morning.
- What's so good?
What did that snake want?
Faras?
She brought Muttabaq.
- Really?
Just like that?
- What do you want from me?
Relax, will you?
I bet it's poisoned.
She's trying to gather crumbs.
George called. It's going down
today. I'm waiting for details.
Are you in or out?
You're making a mistake, Galia.
- I have no choice.
Thanks, bro. Bye.
Explain things to me,
because I've lost the plot.
Abed k*lled Riad, who
was finally buried today.
The case was closed, and I've got to paint
the awning like my wife asked me to do.
How did this suddenly pop up?
- He showed up last night at the station,
and it didn't pop up,
he was on our radar.
This is from the night of the
m*rder, near the storeroom.
Shortly after, he disappeared. He
said he got in through an open back door.
How does this sit with Abed's
confession? That's what I'd like to know.
- Me too.
The kid's got self-image issues.
It's his way of showing his parents
he's worth something. He didn't do it.
- He's not a kid.
And why are so
sure he didn't do it?
Aside for the fact that it's inconvenient.
- "Inconvenient"?
Efi's son k*lling Riad
is an earthquake.
We'll need to prepare a slew of denials
and distractions till after the holidays
and put him in a
facility in central Israel.
Or, do a reenactment.
- A reenactment?
You want to take Shaul to
the heart of the Muslim Quarter
to reenact Riad's m*rder?
Just lynch him yourself
and save us the trouble.
You called it an earthquake.
I'm showing you the way out.
Even if I approved it, I
have no manpower for it.
I have the Women of the Wall
issue today, it's the Sabbath.
We'll make sure nobody knows.
- How? -It's still a m*rder scene.
We'll send him there dressed
as a cop with another cop or two,
the rest, in civilian clothes.
Not too complicated.
Okay, suppose we get him inside.
What do we do if he's the m*rder*r?
What we'd do in a plane crash -
Put our head between our knees
kiss our ba*ls goodbye, and die.
I'm against it.
- So am I.
It's on you, Amir.
We'll head out during the midday
prayer, when the streets are empty.
I understand you wanted to pray.
You have to wear this.
They'll come to get you soon.
- Why?
For a reenactment.
But it's the Sabbath.
- So you'll get a bonus fee...
I suggest you pray first.
"Serving God"
"Memorize this.
Beware of the camera."
"Affidavit"
Ready, folks?
Yes, our team is small,
to avoid making a mess.
- Okay.
Make sure it's fast and quiet.
If you're there when the prayer
ends - the streets will fill up.
Of course.
- We'll have eyes on you at all times.
I know Ilan spoke with you.
I'm sorry, it shouldn't
have happened like that,
but Itamar shouldn't have to suffer
from our mistakes. He took it very hard.
Could you come over?
He's eager to see you.
Damn it.
Why did I marry the
prettiest woman in Netanya?
It's my 4th weekend
away from home.
How's Racheli taking it?
She started jogging, lost
Looks like she's gonna leave me.
Don't worry, Manny,
I've got this.
Didn't think otherwise.
Good luck.
Last time I toured Jerusalem was
during the officer course excursion.
I don't connect to this city.
How can anyone
live far from the sea?
I agree. I grew up near the sea.
You're kidding.
- Bat Yam.
My dad and uncle
were lifeguards.
At 15, I was a
lifeguard assistant.
I wouldn't have guessed that
you even know how to swim.
How'd you end up a cop,
and in Jerusalem, no less?
You're much prettier
without the uniform.
Is that a hint or a compliment?
It's your call.
Sorry, I don't plan on
leaving anytime soon.
Wanna know what's behind the curtain?
- I think it's about time.
Rasmi's k*ller.
You think somebody's hiding
something about Riad's m*rder,
but the solution isn't there.
Riad k*lled Rasmi's father in the
same place, in the same manner.
You think it's a coincidence?
- I read the case file.
You claimed he k*lled him
and then changed your mind.
These two cases are
connected, and you know that.
The only connection I found
between the two cases is you.
They'll be at the storeroom
in 5 minutes. The area is clear.
I hope you guys aren't making
a mistake with this reenactment.
"You guys"? I was against it.
I'm not here. I'm at
home, painting the awning.
m*therf*cker...
"Riad + archives + Amir"
I won't let him film
me. It's the Sabbath.
You want the entire
Muslim Quarter to get here?
Their prayer is ending soon.
- I won't do it.
Do it, or I'll throw you
outta here on your own!
Amir!
- Butt out!
- It's the Sabbath! No
cameras! Enough! Enough!
Okay? Can we begin?
Tell me how it happened.
From the beginning.
When I got here, I didn't really
know what I was going to do.
I took a knife from my
dad, but I had no plan.
I just wanted to humiliate
him for burning the flag.
That flag was on
my brother's coffin.
I saw that...
that Amir and his people were
here, so I waited for them to leave.
I was sure he'd left with them.
How did you get in?
From the back door.
It was open.
I didn't see him, but then he...
he surprised me, and tried
strangling me from behind.
I got away and strangled
him with the backpack strap.
I kept it up until
he stopped moving.
Where's the backpack?
I threw it away.
Describe the strap to me.
A thin, leather strap.
What did you do then?
When I saw he was dead,
I knew it wasn't enough.
Then I noticed the rope.
Said, I'd hang him like
they hanged the evil Haman.
I dragged him
and grabbed a chair to stand on.
- Which chair?
I don't remember.
Then, I cleaned off my shoe prints,
so you won't be able to find me.
Did you tell him to say that?
Tie the knot.
The knot you hanged him with.
Relax, take your time.
That's not the same knot.
I don't know why
I can't get it right.
Because you didn't do it.
I swear it was me!
- Then tie the knot.
If you managed to do it right
after a m*rder, you can do it now.
You must believe
me! I did it! It was me!
Please believe me!
It was me.
Please!
Take him outside.
- But it was me! I promise!
I'm telling you, I did it!
- Quietly.
You must believe me, it
was me! You must believe me!
I did it! It was me!
Yesterday it was
Abed, today it's Shaul.
Don't you trust me anymore?
[I know you're angry that
I went behind your back, ]
[but I had no choice.]
You should've let
him take it on himself.
I can't let a kid take a fall for me.
- But letting us take a fall is okay?
She won't give up.
Found this in her office, in Riad's
file. You star in it, by the way.
What's this?
- "Illuminate Childhood",
a one-time initiative from 8
years ago for injured kids in Gaza.
Their main donors
received a pin of recognition.
They're all from abroad,
including the promoter -
the lady next to Riad.
Who's she?
- Nadia. British.
Died of cancer the following
year, but her husband is still alive.
Not only is he alive, he's also
most familiar with Riad and the city.
Salah...
And, if I'm not mistaken,
he gains the most out of this.
Told you, you're making it
more complicated than it is.
Next time, listen to the
Russian girl. We're smart.
It adds up in every aspect -
He either found out Riad is corrupt
or he wanted to take his place, or both.
Whatever it was, he
wanted to frame him.
Check where he was
on the night of the m*rder.
Well done.
Where to?
To get Shira off our backs.
You know what the
problem is with this world?
Everything is a conspiracy.
Common sense is dead.
I'm in.
What happened?
Common sense is dead.
Amir came by, told
us you were released.
You know...
when I was your age,
perhaps even younger,
I was already living in an abandoned
watch tower in Samaria. Alone.
No parents.
The only thing that kept us
going was the justice of our cause.
Maybe that's why it's hard for me to
understand what you're going through,
what we need to do.
I promise to try to see where we
can improve, but you also have to try.
Let's go home.
Yes?
I know what happened
to Riad. I saw it all.
I want to meet with you, alone.
If you're not alone, I leave.
- Who are you?
On Antonia street, corner
of Salahiya. 18:00 pm.
I had to lie to Itamar and tell
him you're busy saving the world.
How long has it been going on?
I don't want to do this now.
- But I do.
It started after we
separated. I didn't plan it.
You accidentally fell on his
d*ck, That's what you mean.
Go to hell.
Karni!
I'm sorry.
I don't want to lose you.
Itamar is waiting for you. I told
him you'd come get him tonight.
Don't screw this up.
"Behold, God is my salvation; I
will trust, and will not be afraid;
"for God the Lord is my strength
and song; and He will be my salvation.
"You will draw water with
joy out of the wells of salvation."
"Salvation belongs to the Lord; May
Your blessing be upon Your people forever."
"The Lord of hosts is with us; the God
of Jacob is our everlasting stronghold."
"O Lord of hosts, happy is
the man who trusts in You."
"Lord, deliver us; may the King
answer us on the day that we call."
Who k*lled Riad?
I'll slaughter you, you
b*tch! Who k*lled him?
Give me a name right now!
It's the f*ck' Jews, right?
Admit it!
- I don't know!
I'll k*ll you, you wh*re! Talk!
Who k*lled him?
Answer me, b*tch!
Who k*lled him?!
Police! Stop! [-Police!
- Let's go!]
Stop!
Nothing here. Check
the back alley. Go ahead.
Wait. Not here.
Not here. Calm down.
Attention.
"Blessed are You,
Lord, King of the
universe, Creator of
the fruit of the vine."
"Blessed are You, Lord, King of the
universe, Creator of the different spices."
"Blessed are You, Lord, King of the
universe, Creator of the fire's lights."
"Blessed are You, our
Lord, King of the universe,
"Who separates between
the holy and the profane;
"between the light and dark;"
"between Israel and
the other nations;"
"between the seventh day
and the six days of the week."
"Blessed are You, our Lord,"
"Who separates between
the holy and the profane."
You're the first
one to touch them.
What exactly happened there?
I was driving home when
I noticed I had a flat tire.
The Yakir intersection
army post wasn't far away.
I didn't want to ruin
my car, so I pulled over,
got out and saw that
I'd driven over nails.
And then...
out of nowhere,
there were four
of them, in masks.
I believe they used
hoses and iron rods.
At one point I
could reach my g*n.
I froze.
They were practically kids.
My police radio was on me,
I pressed the distress button.
And I realized that nobody
from the precinct would arrive.
That I'm all alone.
Those b*stards.
Eventually I was lucky
enough to black out,
and an IDF patrol found me.
I'm sorry you had to
go through it again.
How did you know to
be there just in time?
We've been looking for these
guys from out of town for a long time.
It went off when they
entered through Nablus gate.
They wanted to
know who k*lled Riad.
Thanks.
You'd do the same for me.
For coming.
Wait, I'll walk with you.
No need, I'm okay.
Yes?
- Superintendent Shira
Levi? Abu Kabir Forensics.
You said it's urgent,
and you don't answer.
We found out the leather
type. It's quite surprising.
It's sheep skin. Not
very common in belts.
Yes, because it wasn't a belt.
If you know everything,
why do we even bother?
Thanks.
We heard you saved
Shira at the last minute.
I hope it'll do.
Did you find anything?
Salah was away that
night. Nobody knows where.
And another thing
- he's left-handed.
When should we bring him in?
We won't. We'll go to him.
At dawn. No arrest, no interrogation.
We do it inside the house.
Forgot to give you this.
I closed a deal with some
Russian who needed protection.
This is your share.
Gotta go see Itamar.
What's his name?
- Some guy. Kiril. I'll show him to you.
Get some sleep.
It didn't happen.
I came as soon as
I heard. Are you...?
I'm fine. I'm lucky
Amir was there.
We'll catch them, we'll leave
no stone unturned, I promise.
It's okay, Barak, I mean it.
I spoke with Manny. Take a break
and come back after the holidays.
I can stay...
- It's not open for negotiation.
Go home and rest.
When did you have
a chance to shower?
At Amir's.
Want a ride home?
It's okay.
Call me when you get there.
Thanks, Barak.
I ran like crazy. Fell down like
a p*ssy, almost broke my leg.
You ran like a wiener. If those
were actual cops, they'd catch you.
Get me some coffee.
[I want to start swimming again,
so I don't grow a bear-belly.]
You're such a moron.
Amir thinks we work for him.
You paid off your debt to him, right?
- Bro, I'd do anything for Amir.
I actually felt sorry for her.
Bro, she landed
two cops in jail.
When you go against the police,
the police goes against you.
Do you know why this
is happening to you?
Because I deserve it.
Because you thought
you could f*ck me.
I want my money and
the people who took it.
I give you 48 hours.
