01x03 - A late goodbye

[bunniefuu]

I'm here to see Bentzi.

Hello.

I'm Joël.

For the Yeruham boarding school.

Um, passports included, right?





It's like retribution.

As in the Torah.

Decapitation, say.

A religious court's sentence

for adultery, right?

MAN: Your brother didn't deserve
it.

This is how they punished a man
who slept with another man's
wife.

Maybe she wasn't his.

Not completely.

You've identified him.

We'll prepare him for burial.

-Go home now.
-[ZIPPER ZIPS]





Knock harder.

JOËL: You've been in there an
hour,
sweetie. Come out, please.

Open up.

Sweetie... Come out, Natalie.





What is going on?

Nothing. Nothing.

Where did you go?

I was taking the trash out.

But you're not allowed out
until 9:00 a.m.

It stank.

Did something happen?

You were alone.

Right?

Did you faint?

Tell me.

Did something hurt you,
sweetheart?

What?



It was dark.

I... I couldn't see.

I couldn't move, and...



I just don't understand.



ROSA: I wanna put you back
in my womb.

If something happened to you,

then why take a shower
instead of just calling for
help?



-You don't believe me?
-I do.

I do. [SIGHING]

Karim Taleb - French Deputy
Consul
FRENCH CONSULATE IN TEL AVIV

Why are you calling him?

It's useless.

He's a weak man. It's obvious.

Let's see here.

What are you doing, Mom?

Just listen to me
even if you don't agree.

No. No, Mom.
Please don't start again.

Breaking the bond with Shai is
fine,
but it's not enough.

What else do I have to do?

Should I kneel at his door
for a month? Is that it?

Can't you see this is
punishment?

Hold on.

Eran's death is a punishment?

A punishment for what?

f*ck! I don't get it.
What the hell did I do wrong?

-Sweetie, that's not what she
meant.
-I'm not blaming you, sweetie.

-But it's still a punishment.
-Natalie, please calm down.

No, you are my punishment.
Can't you see?

-Hey, listen to me!
-Don't touch me! Don't touch me!

-Rosa, where are you going?
-Leave me alone.

You can't say something like
that,
and then just take off.

Just don't let her leave the
house,
that's all.

Well, explain to me why at
least.

Let me go out, please.





He can't see the flowers here.

He can't see them anyway.

He can smell them.

You remember
when to put his music on?




I wish you could return to my
womb.

ROSA: Louisa!

Why are you here?

Come. Come.

Oh, my God, you're so pale.

I need you to sew
something for me quickly.

It's sheets, duvet covers,
night gowns,

a white dress with long sleeves,
something nice and modest.

Oh, calm down, okay?

Let's have some tea.
Tell me everything.

No. There's no time,
and we have to call the girls.

They have to help us.

You mean a trousseau? Right now?

Yes, we'll pack everything
and find a matchmaker,

and have a proper wedding,
like in Djerba.

Natalie is on fire.

You know people here, Louisa.

Come on, sit down, Rosa.

-Do you want orange-blossom tea?
-No, I said no.

Rosa...

All right.

Where is the Damascus satin?

LOUISA: Oh, stop it.

No, silk isn't right. Not silk.

It's no good because of the
worms.

I grew up in Djerba, too,
but slow down, please.

It won't help you at all,
believe me.

Elie's been in a coma 12 years,
and I've tried everything.

I have sewed, I've sprinkled
sugar
on and under the bed...

It's useless.
Salt and turmeric, too.

They're all nothing
but old wives' tales.

Yeah. But he's angry,
and I have to calm him.

But those things won't help you.
Please, believe me.

RAFI: [IN HEBREW]
Sure he's not at home?

ESTI: Shai's preparing his
brother's burial.

I want to sniff around
before he testifies.

RAFI: What can you sniff here?

He moved here six months ago.

He got religious then, too.

Know what else happened then?

-What?
-His brother met Natalie.

You think he blew a fuse
because of her?

No idea. Maybe he was jealous.

Wouldn't you have been?

No.

Of course not.

Esti, you can't go in there
without a warrant.

It's not his house.
I didn't break in.

They're Uzbek pigeons.

You only find them in Rafah.
Know what they cost?

There's nothing here.

-I'll wait in the car.
-Won't be long.

Rafi!


OVER POLICE RADIO]

Hello.

I'm looking for Inspector Lasri.

-[IN ENGLISH] Who?
-Chief Inspector Lasri.

-I've got something for her.
-Esti.

-Can I help you?
-I'll come back later.

NATALIE: [IN HEBREW ON
RECORDING]
Hi, it's Natalie, leave a
message.


leave a message.



Where are you going?

Come, have a seat.

You can't stay here.

An organization
will help us leave Israel.

We'll go together.

But where?

Back to France.

There's no extradition treaty
with Israel. I've checked.

But running away
will make it even worse.

Who cares about that?
You'll be safe once we're there.

It's become dangerous for you
here.

What if they catch us?

They won't, sweetheart.

We're going to cross
the border to Egypt

and we'll take a flight from
Cairo.

And Mom? Does...

Does she know?



No, but...


place
right now, dear. And...

She will join us later.

Eran hasn't even been buried.

His mother called me.

The funeral will take place
this afternoon.

They don't want you to go.

She really said that?

They'll never leave you in peace
if you stay here. Never.





NATALIE: [ON RECORDING]
Hi, it's Natalie, leave a
message.


Hi, it's Natalie, leave a
message.



Your brother's suit.

There's blood on it.

They call it
"the blood of the soul."

You must bury it.

I thought it was evidence.

I talked them round.

I was taught
a burial must be done right.

Were you religious?

It's like a scar. It never
vanishes.

You don't miss it?

Every morning.

I went to see your pigeons.

I found the computer and the
phone
in your trash.

f*cking b*tch.

I didn't take them. I saw
nothing.

I left them if you change your
mind.

I didn't have a warrant,

meaning it's inadmissible.

You could get me fired
if you complain, but you won't.

If you really wanted
to get rid of it,

there are better ways, right?

We must ask the dead's
forgiveness.

But we must also
forgive their faults.

And do it before we bury them.

To make it a proper burial.

You know where I am.

Shai, my condolences.

KARIM: [IN ENGLISH] Oh, sh*t.

Come on, move! Move!

f*ck.



YERUHAM RELIGIOUS BOARDING
SCHOOL
FOR GIRLS




the French Consulate.

I'm here to see Miss Amiel.



WOMAN: What is it?

He climbed in.


I am from the French Consulate.

I think he doesn't understand.

And I'm assisting Natalie Amiel.
I know she's here.


idiot.



I imagine what they're
planning to do,

and I think it's a mistake
to run away.

If you really want to help her,
go away.

We help her to run away because
the police do not believe her

and because she is in danger.

I believe her,
and I want to help her.

Please.


Stop hanging around here.

Put those phones away.

JOËL: What are you doing here?

Why are you following us?

I stopped by your place
and saw you leave.

Natalie, you're making
a big mistake.

She'll have a trial in France,
with our judges and our laws.

I have no choice.

Because of him?

MISSING PERSON REPORT

How did you get this?

I know that the police in Nice
questioned you.

Um, tell me what is
your job exactly, sir?

I know he went missing

and that his family
filed a complaint against you.

And now he's here.

What?

I know because he was
at your wedding.

He is in a few pictures.

JOËL: Well, congratulations.
Good police work.

-KARIM: Listen to me.
-You may leave now.

Don't you think
his presence at the wedding

would help clear Natalie?

It proves nothing at all.

Remember what he said about you
in Nice.

Do you want him to repeat that?

You want him
to tell the Israelis, too?

Can't you see
that you're upsetting her?



Don't worry, sweetie.

So, it was him all along.

Oh, listen to me, honey.

Come on, talking to the police
can help her a great deal!

They won't believe her!

Why do you say that?

You don't believe me.

You really think I k*lled Eran?

Look at me when I'm talking to
you!

Answer me!

I don't. No.

So what are you scared of then?

Oh, f*ck this.

Karim, can you please
drop me off at the police
station?

RAFI: [IN HEBREW]
Religious people hate the
police.

Why did I let you go?

ESTI: I need your
permission now, Rafi?

It's going to dump us

in the sh*t.

Is this a bad time?

Not at all, come in.

Please, come in.

Thanks for coming.

Hello. How do you do.

My condolences.

This is Rafi.

We work together.

Okay, then...

Can you leave us for a minute?

Sure, no problem.

Very nice pigeons.

Right.

I can't stay long,
we're burying my brother.

Yes, of course, I understand.

Have a seat.

You know...

Eran did things that a man
who loves his wife doesn't do.

He was wary of her,
but she didn't know that.

Natalie?

He was sure there was stuff
she was hiding from him.

That she was hiding someone.

Another man, you mean?

Eran wasn't like that.

He trusted people
and they trusted him.

Were his suspicions justified?

Not at all.

But he felt
someone was between them.

Someone in their home.

I don't understand.

It wasn't rational, it was
paranoia.

He was sure she brought a guy
in.

He would say odd things,

that he could sense his
presence...

When they had sex,
it drove him crazy.

He wanted to catch them.

He put a camera in the bedroom
to film their nights.

That's what's on this?

Really?

I hope we can recover stuff.

My mother would be furious,
but you need to know.

He wanted to possess her.

Like with that wedding.

That explains your reaction
at the wedding?

I heard that after the ceremony,

you were on edge.



This m*rder didn't surprise you.

I didn't think Eran was
capable of it.

Eran?

You've never thought
it might be suicide?

The wound and the psychological
profile don't point to that.

It's a strange way

of k*lling yourself.

It was to make her feel guilty.

I'm asking you...

Only use this
if it helps your investigation.




Can you please turn right?

But the police station's left.

We'll go after.

It's Eran's funeral today.

Take me there.

Isn't it a bit too transparent?

It really won't make
much of a difference to him.



She's finally arrived.



-Hello.
-Hello.

Hello.

So, what's up?

There's work to do, girls.

-I thought you said it was
urgent.
-Yeah, what's what you said, no?

-Yes.
-JESSICA: So what?

-It's a clothes emergency?
-No.

Just do what I tell you.
I want you to embroider.

The sisters must participate
to help keep it pure.

Oh, my God, here we go again.

-Is all this stuff for Natalie?
-What do you think?

-Yes.
-Where is she right now?

She's, uh, with your father.

So call her, then.

I'm not going to embroider
her thongs.

You think that'll stop
climate change as well?

You should be ashamed.
Do you find this funny?

Mom, stop this, please.

What happened with Natalie is
over.

It's too late, and we can't go
back.

You don't have to do
any of this, please!

Thank you.

You always judge me.

Always!

Great. Okay, what do we have to
do?

Johanna, come on.
We're not going to support this.

-Just be quiet and help her.
-She's totally lost it.

Mom, honestly.

f*ck!

JOHANNA: Okay, what is this?

What does it mean?

-LOUISA: Jessica!
-"From Djerba."

JESSICA: No, I'm serious.
Enough of Natalie.

-Always Natalie.
-She's the youngest, sweetie.

And so what?

Well, it's...
It's not just for Natalie.
It's...

It's for you as well.



Sweetie, do you know
why girls embroidered

with their mothers in the past?

To stay with them, nice and
warm.

Okay, but why does she have to
be
such a ball-breaker all the
time?

You know where your mom comes
from,
we never express our feelings.

We didn't tell a man
he was good-looking

or that we loved him.

Uh, whenever we saw a little
girl
that was pretty,

we'd call her cross-eyed,
and spit at her.

And say her hair was tangled.



She did this to protect her.

And I was never a problem
on that level, right?

Hmm.

You're cut from the same cloth.

Hmm?



RAFI: [IN HEBREW]
It's always the same.

They sleep, they f*ck,
they change position.

They sleep again.

I'm bored shitless.

-Coffee?
-Please.

If there are cookies left,
bring some.

I'm dreaming of a salad!

LOUISA: [IN ENGLISH] Don't rub
it.



We need salt.

MAN 1: [IN HEBREW]
If ever someone needed help,

Eran was there for him.

He was a rock
for all those who knew him.

Eran was a friend
who'll be sorely missed.

Eran...

MAN 2: Why's she here?

WOMAN 1: Who let her come?

Make her leave.


I wanted to say goodbye to him.


Those close must tear their
clothes.

WOMAN 2: Shame on you.

I don't know what to say.

Say goodbye to him.


is trying to understand

why this happened,

and how it happened.

And everyone is looking
for something between us

that could explain it.

But the only thing I can say

is that we were happy

and I loved him so much.



You were so beautiful together.

How did it happen?

Huh?

Somebody didn't want us to be
happy.

ERAN'S MOTHER: "Somebody"?

What "somebody"?

Are you talking about a person?


says!

What somebody?


somebody.





You k*lled him!

You k*lled him!

You k*lled my child!









I shouldn't have come.



Actually, I think
that you were very brave.

I'm sorry.
