It's just a standard
transfer of ownership.
What do you have that I want?
- The library Riad promised to sell you.
I am now the owner
of that property.
We don't talk business on the Sabbath.
- Even when it has to do
with the Muslim library?
[ARABIC] [We'll
be ready on time.]
[You like it?]
[If the Waqf or Amir find out what's
gonna happen, it won't happen.]
Why did you slaughter that kid?
- He was already dead when I arrived.
Riad didn't k*ll Rasmi.
Someone's playing us.
We must find him, quickly.
Here's my theory: It's someone
in town who knows everyone.
He dropped this.
Who's she?
- Nadia.
Died of cancer the following
year, but her husband is still alive.
- Salah...
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.
"Strangulation by
leather strap. 1.2 cm wide"
She's on to us!
- She's guessing.
This is our chance,
Amir, she'll take us down.
You're lucky to still
have a narrow way out,
and I hope you use it,
because it's going to close soon.
Where to?
- To get her off our backs.
I know what happened to
Riad. I want to meet with you.
Who k*lled Riad? I'll
slaughter you, you b*tch!
[It's the cops!]
How did you know to
be there just in time?
When you go against the
police, the police go against you.
Amir thinks we work for him.
I'm on it. I'll get the money.
The Russian Patriarch's
special emissary.
Are you suggesting I rob him?
I need to know that there is
somebody I can call if I need.
Be available.
"2 missed calls from Kiril"
I closed a deal with some Russian
who needed protection. This is your share.
I want my money and
the people who took it.
I give you 48 hours.
This will hurt a bit.
Weren't we gonna
meet at Salah's?
What happened?
Some Russians danced on me.
- What Russians?
This Kiril person I told
you about has been robbed.
You need a doctor,
this looks bad.
Get the antibiotics.
Do we know where they are?
- Let's leave them for now.
Look what they did to you!
- We have no time for that now.
What do they want?
- The money, and the robbers.
We'll take care of that later.
We have to be at Salah's.
You go, I'll look for Kiril.
- Galia, no funny business.
Don't worry.
Meet you there.
How did you get in here?
You're building
offices in the library?
It's just a renovation.
I know it belonged to your wife.
- Where did you find it?
Next to Rasmi's body.
You're planning to
pin that m*rder on me?
Your dad is right, you
really are a different species,
way more dangerous than Riad.
Taking down a spiritual leader without
causing harm and with personal gain
is a clean sweep. Bravo.
I don't know what
you're talking about, pal.
I wanted him to hear
it from you, not me.
Sorry for cutting
you off. Go on.
He shouldn't be here.
Then I'll go on.
We found emails with the Turks in your
computer, regarding Riad's embezzlement.
You seemed very concerned
about their exposure.
This pin disappeared,
and yes, I knew he embezzled the
money intended for renovating the library
and I did think he
should be replaced,
but I wouldn't m*rder
someone for that.
And even if I had
the will and ability,
I wasn't in town when
the kid was m*rder*d.
Where were you?
- At a home gathering in Abu Dis.
That's what you told the interrogators.
We checked, it never happened.
Solely out of respect
for your father,
you have exactly one
hour to leave the city walls.
If you hurry,
you'll reach Jordan
before your name
appears in the system.
I didn't k*ll anyone!
I was at a hotel in west
Jerusalem. I can prove it.
Alone?
With who?
- What difference does it make?
Check the cameras for yourself.
Who were you with?
Aya.
Aya?
[ARABIC] [Abu Amar's wife?!]
[My Abu Amar?!]
[They're getting divorced,
Dad, it's not as if...]
[Please give us some privacy.]
Didn't we agree you'd take time off?
- I don't need to, I'm fine, really.
So why is Riad's
case still open?
There are a few details I
wanted to discuss with you.
We're planning the holiday
schedule. It'll take me hours.
- I'll wait.
Don't bother. We got a
Catholic altar boy in the hospital,
turns out he was
violently r*ped.
Does he know who did it?
- His priest,
who, of course, is an endangered
animal with a diplomatic passport.
It needs delicate handling.
Go there with Amir.
- Thanks, I'm fine.
No, you're not. Go with Amir,
he knows everyone there.
The last thing I need
is to piss off the Pope.
I'd sell my kidney
just to not be here.
The fact that you didn't jump
at the chance to take time off
only proves how
not okay you are.
Got it, thanks.
Here.
Can't get anywhere
near that prick.
He's surrounded by his gorillas.
What about Rasmi's m*rder?
You sure it wasn't Salah?
The hotel security confirmed
they were there all night.
He wouldn't have come
forward if it weren't true.
Damn it. I was sure it was him.
Who else had a
motive? I don't get it.
I told you, someone's playing
us, and he's winning so far.
God damn it.
- What is it?
A teen boy was r*ped.
I hate those cases.
What about the Russians?
Run all Mabat 2000 footage of Kiril.
Whoever did it, must've followed him,
it was a planned hit.
Keep me updated.
[What happened to you?]
I fell down the stairs.
Here.
[I begged him to
stay in England.]
[I told him not to
return to this sh*t-hole, ]
[that nothing good
would come of it.]
You're right.
Can you tell me what's
going on at the library?
It's supposed to be
renovated, that was the deal.
Looks like offices.
- It's a holy place.
Even the Turks wouldn't
dare turn it into an office space.
You have a chance
to find that out.
If word of Salah's affair
gets out, he's finished.
You can't afford not to know.
- He's my son!
You expect me to extort him?!
I'm sorry.
Tell him I promise it
would stay between us.
I don't believe you.
[Abu Amar...]
We just want to be sure we're
talking about the same property.
You know, the Turks just invested
almost half a million Euros in it.
They should've checked
who it belongs to first.
Your names are already on it.
The day after the holiday, it
will be yours, the crown jewel.
Your dream come true.
Why don't you look happy?
What are you afraid of?
The price. What do
you want in exchange?
Rivka, shut the door.
These babies need to make it onto
the Temple Mount on the holiday.
Who made this?
Doesn't matter who made it.
The important thing is, where it's going.
- Are you crazy?
Ever since I've known you, I've been
hearing about "fighting for redemption",
when all you do is go around the city,
hanging up flags on random buildings
that you got thanks
to the money I bring in.
We thank you very much for everything
you've done for us all these years.
We don't owe you anything.
- You weren't listening.
I just told you, you
definitely do owe me.
I'm not sure this is
the right time, but if...
What is this obsession you
people have with the right time?
Not only is it the right
time, time's already passed!
Look around you!
m*rder, greed, corruption,
r*pe, plague!
What more needs to happen before
you people stand up and take action?
This isn't the
church in Missouri.
You can't come here
and tell us what to do.
The Evangelists made you.
I chose you, I constructed you,
I fund you.
Without me, you're just a bunch of
lunatics running around Jerusalem
that nobody would
pay any attention to.
We are not doing it.
That's your choice.
But this is a one-time offer,
and this one-sided
relationship will be over.
We'll do it.
- Rivka!
I sign this document the moment
it's done, not a second before.
Bottom line, it won't
happen without the Jews.
I'm glad we talked this out.
We're not doing
this, he's lost it.
So what do we do?
Nothing, we do nothing.
We don't have the guts to do what
we came here to do in the first place!
We've become politicians, and
it'll cost us everything! Everything!
Rivka?
One moment!
Hey.
What happened to you?
Karma.
You're supposed to take
time off, why are you here?
Thanks to you.
After seeing how much effort you
and your friends at the Special Forces
put into trying to get rid of
me, I realized I had to stay.
Karma's a b*tch.
I'm sorry.
- For what?
For f*cking me or
for screwing me over?
You're stubborn,
there's no talking to you.
I had to give you a ladder to help
you off that tall tree you've climbed.
Before you fall off.
So it was for my own good.
I know you k*lled Riad.
I know why and how you did it.
If you know so much,
what are you waiting for?
It'll happen, don't worry.
It's just a ladder to help you
off that tall tree you've climbed.
Before you fall off.
Hello, Amir. How are you?
Shira, Investigations officer.
- Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
So, I understand we
have a small problem.
If you think that a boy is in the
hospital because he was r*ped
is a small problem, then yeah.
I think you're being a little too dramatic.
- You were there?
No, but...
- Then why am I speaking to you?
I want to talk to
the priest. Danco?
Maybe you do not understand
this because you are new.
We are now on Catholic grounds.
This is a matter of authority.
Yes, I understand there is a
problem, we know how to solve it.
I can promise you that at the
end everyone will be satisfied.
We need to question him.
You should explain
to her how it works.
He will have to come in.
I have no doubt that he didn't
do it, but we need to talk to him.
For the sake of appearances.
I promise you, he will be treated
with the respect he deserves.
No longer than half an
hour. I'm counting on you.
- No, no way.
Thank you.
That's more than enough.
Now you have no problem
letting a pedophile go either?
They all hold diplomatic passports,
you can't touch them, not like this.
He's coming to the
station and he's not leaving.
And I'd lawyer up if I were you.
They slaughtered an entire family and
built a holy library on the blood they shed
during the 1920 Jerusalem
riots. But rest assured -
God willing, this unique
building will soon return to us.
Your mother thinks you
should leave town for a while.
The preparatory program in Eli
could benefit you greatly.
- I have everything I need right here.
Shaul.
Shaul!
[Will it be done by tomorrow?]
[Sure.]
[There's just some
electric work to finish...]
[Cover those doors,
don't leave them like that.]
[Don't worry.]
[If you don't mind...
- Sure.]
[I love this holiday.]
[I wait for it all year long.]
[You know what I
asked of God this week?]
[For a hailstorm,
like the one in 2011]
[so that everything
gets canceled.]
[Have you told Mom?]
[Haven't you and I
broken her heart enough?]
[I'm sorry about
everything, Dad.]
[She's the first woman
I've dated since Nadia.]
[I didn't plan this.]
[I know.]
[But despite it all, ]
[you must leave.
- Leave what?]
[The city.]
[You were mad at me for
returning here, you didn't get me.]
[I knew that she was
dying of cancer due to me, ]
[due to the heretic life I chose to live
far away from here, far away from faith.]
[I've repented, Dad,
I can't leave now.]
[You have no choice.]
[It reflects on me.]
[I'm sorry.]
[You want my loyalty?]
[You've got it.]
[You always did.]
[I'll do anything you say.]
[What are they doing here?]
[Nothing.]
[A new library,
that was the deal.]
[No.]
[The Turks are planning
new things here.]
[What are you talking
about, Dad? Look inside.]
[Then why all
these new offices?]
[Those are
classrooms, not offices.]
[We open right
after the holiday.]
[I'd like you to come
and cut the ribbon.]
[I won't let anyone
hurt you, Dad.]
[I swear to you.]
You look troubled. Can I help?
You were supposed to get back to me.
- About what?
Cut the crap, Faras.
- I never agreed to anything!
I have nothing to say to you.
I know about everything.
The Tefillin, the drugs,
Abed, everything.
You have to wake up. And fast.
I need more time.
Till tomorrow.
Could you help me out here?
I gotta keep working on this.
You need a user
name, I'll write mine.
"Mabat 2000"
We've gone over most of the
cameras in the last three days,
that's all we found
so far. Who's this?
That's what we're
trying to figure out.
Send it to me.
Nothing?
- I went over all the cameras.
It's from inside the city. The Greeks.
- Should we grill George?
No, if it's them, he
won't talk. I'll handle it.
Do we still have the g*n
we took from that kid?
We must return the money.
- I took what I owed the Rabbi.
Even if we had the full sum, you
heard him. They're also after who did it.
George won't talk because
it'll get him in trouble too.
What does Shira want from you?
What does Shira want from me?
So you're like all those dumb interrogatees
who repeat the question to buy time?
I heard something
went on in Mabat 2000.
She's doing what you're doing
now, fishing around, and I've had it.
Why you?
- She thinks I'm the most vulnerable.
She's right.
- She's got nothing.
If she had, she
wouldn't turn to me.
What did she offer you?
- f*ck off.
Gladly.
Hey.
- Georgie, we have a problem.
Amir is on his way to you.
- He can't touch me.
Good. Don't screw this up.
You trust him?
- Do you think I was born yesterday?
If you could send more
manpower, it's critical.
- I'm on it.
Okay? Any questions or requests?
Can we get started?
- No problem. -Great.
I heard the Catholics
are cooperating.
The priest is coming
in to give his statement.
I hope you understand that's all we
can do, we can't detain or arrest him.
I'm not here about
that. We have a problem.
Just one?
Riad's k*ller is Amir.
He was the last one to see Riad
alive, and he had the ability and motive.
Their old rivalry resurfaced
when Rasmi arrived in the city.
However I look at it,
it's the only thing that fits.
So he just went on camera and k*lled
the city's most endangered animal?
That fits?
I didn't say he planned it. Things
must've gotten out of control.
Then, he just improvised.
The suicide, the drugs...
Don't tell me it hasn't
crossed your mind.
What crosses my
mind is irrelevant.
Here's what happens next:
You go back to the precinct,
keep your mouth shut,
clear your desk, leave my f*cking
city, and never come back here.
Riad was strangled with
a thin sheepskin strap.
You know what's thin and
made of sheepskin? Tefillin.
It was in Amir's pocket
when he left the storeroom.
- You think he strangled him
with his son's Tefillin? Do
you hear what you're saying?
I'm saying I decided to turn to you
although Barak warned me not to trust you.
Barak knows?
Barak will do anything to bury this
because he's involved in it as well.
How so?
I still don't know,
that's why I need Amir.
I know it sounds crazy, and
that's why you believe me.
Because you can't
make this stuff up.
Does Amir know?
Damn it...
If we get hold of that Tefillin set...
- Amir isn't one of those officers who...
I'm not afraid of him.
- I am.
I saw him come out of
situations that no one else could.
You'll need much more
than circumstantial evidence.
What if one of them testifies?
- None of them will.
Give me some a*mo, or this
conversation never happened.
One more thing, Shira, you
better start watching your back.
Will do, thanks.
You look like all
your ships have sunk.
That's exactly what happened.
Where do you want
to start the tour?
They said the VP wants to
enter together with the PM.
Unit 5, this is Unit 4. The
canine unit has arrived.
Situate them in tent 3.
What's up, bro? Rasmi's
belongings you requested.
I told his mother you'd bring
it to her, she hung up on me.
Thanks, bro. Put it
in the office, I'm on it.
Where's Shira?
- Why do you need her?
I have the report
she's waiting for.
What report?
- About Riad's m*rder. The
strap he was strangled with.
They matched the leather
because of the special type used.
You won't believe it,
seems it was a Tefillin strap.
Have you been smoking all the evidence?
- For real!
I was sure I've
seen it all here.
I'll make sure she gets it.
- Thanks.
Let's get going.
What's going on?
- A search.
It's my dad's shop.
- Can't go in.
Let me in, it's my dad's shop.
- Can't.
George.
What is this bullshit?
- A search.
A search? For what?
Who robbed the
Russian? [-f*ck you, Amir.]
[You've crossed every line.]
I'm deliberating, when I go inside
and find the g*n, who do I call first,
the Shin Bet or Forensics, to come
and turn this place upside down?
What do you say?
He's 80 years old, Amir, it's
his entire life. Have a heart.
[You think I'm
happy about this!?]
[I'm doing it because
I have no choice, ]
[unlike you and all the
other c**ts up there!]
[No choice, huh?]
[Wanna know who
robbed the Russian?]
[Your friends.]
[Your dear friends
who you blindly trust.]
Go away, you're done here. Move!
sh*t.
His name is Kiril, he's working
with the Russian Orthodox church,
and staying with the Armenians.
Talk to Amir, I bet he knows more.
Inform Mabat 2000
I want him watched.
Is the altar boy post-op?
- No.
The priest is here,
waiting for you.
Here are the photos you wanted.
- Thanks.
I apologize, but we need to
wait for the senior investigator.
I don't have time for this.
- He needs to come any minute.
Can I ask you something
in the meantime?
I admit, it makes me curious.
Why do you think
people do those things?
Maybe we need more
than just regular sex?
People have become numb in
general. Maybe it has to do with that.
Look at what is
happening in the world.
But what turns you on here?
Is it about you being so
powerful and he's so helpless?
That he sees you as holy?
I don't know what
you're talking about.
What is it that turns you
into an animal? A monster?
I think it's about time to ask
that God of yours to help you.
You know the meaning
of the name Danco?
God is my judge.
Definitely not you.
If God allows something like this,
he can't be the judge of anything.
You think life is made
up of moral phenomena,
but these do not exist.
There's only moral
interpretations of phenomena.
I think we are done here.
You're not going anywhere.
I hope you've had
a satisfying career,
because it is about to end.
Who did this to you?
It doesn't matter.
"Faras"
The last time I saw you like this
was when Itamar had his operation
when he was 6 years old.
I know you think God
has disappointed you.
Humans disappoint me.
- Who?
Honestly, everyone.
Besides you and Itamar.
What's going on? What
are you mixed up in?
I don't know.
I feel like everything
is falling apart.
When I was in the navy, I remember...
- I didn't know you were a soldier.
You've never talked about it.
- Because there was nothing to talk about.
But I remember one of the
veteran officers once said to me
that even steel rusts when it's
been in the sea for a few years.
Maybe it's time
to get off this ship.
[Hello, Samuel.] Are you busy?
Hi, Nura, how can I help you?
"Faras"
Do you know where Amir
is? He's not answering me.
He knows.
- Knows what?
About Kiril.
Where to?
- To talk to him.
About what? About us
going behind his back?
Sometimes you're so naive, I feel
like stuffing you like a teddy bear!
It's all because of
you! It's your fault!
Calm down.
I was about to gut you.
He'll never hand us
over to the Russians.
He has no choice.
"From Shira: Tomorrow
morning. Just a reminder"
Sorry I lashed out at you today.
You spoke wisely.
You realize it has to be someone
who can get close enough to the mount
in order to
detonate and hurl it.
- I think everyone here
would gladly volunteer.
Yes?
- Karni, it's Shira, the precinct's
new Investigations officer.
I know who you are. Did
something happen to Amir?
No, God forbid.
I just have a few questions.
- About what?
Not over the phone.
Can I drop over later?
I can't today, only tomorrow
morning, if you want.
Did Amir tell you to speak to me?
- Not at all.
Okay, then I'll meet you tomorrow.
- Okay, call me in the morning. -Bye.
Was that Amir's Karni?
You don't stop, huh?
- Too late, sadly for you.
Because you set me up.
Why is he still here?
- I spoke with the hospital.
The boy might not make it.
- I know.
But he's free to go. Right now,
before I get a call from
the Foreign Ministry.
He's going home, and so am I.
"Israel Police, David Precinct"
What now? You want to
hold me for another two hours?
You're going to pay for this.
Just wanted to tell you that the
poor kid you r*ped is in a coma.
I think you want to do
something else, right?
Take out all your anger on me?
The truth is, in the
end, it's for the best.
They transferred me to Neuchatel,
below the Jura Mounts in Switzerland.
Maybe one of the most
beautiful places in the world.
These walls were suffocating me.
I'll send you a postcard.
You forgot to
take this with you.
Your whole collection is here.
That's not mine.
Okay.
We'll send it to the Vatican or to
CNN, they can decide whose it is.
What do you want for it?
- Don't give it to him.
I suggest you leave.
Just a little justice.
You fell down the stairs,
otherwise I send it to everyone.
Call an ambulance!
Call an ambulance!
What do you plan
to do with his photos?
I want them on his record.
There's nothing
on it, it's empty.
"Faras"
"Faras"
What's with him? Calm him down.
It's medical weed, I can
show the dog the prescription...
Sheli is not a drug detector,
she's an expl*sives detector.

Police officer Amir navigates religious tensions in Jerusalem's Old City when Muslim and Jewish holy days coincide, some seeking to ignite conflict.
