02x10 - System

[bunniefuu]

-Yes, Shaul.
-Hey, Izzy.

I was so sorry to hear about your dad.
How's he doing?

In an induced coma for for ten days now.

I wish him a speedy recovery.

Listen, I need to talk to you.
Where are you?

At first I thought it was a joke,

but the report came in
this morning in black and white.

-A joke? Why?
-Meir's funding for the Cannabar buyout

comes from some company in Dubai.

Now, Izzy,

no foreign investor ever got
permission from the Israel Police

to hold more than 5%
in a cannabis company.

Never!
No matter who.

It's policy.
And from Dubai on top of that.

Now, my people are trying to get
the story out of me.

They're sure it's a security matter,
maybe some Saudi prince

secretly investing in Israel,
they're sure something's up.

I know what's happening,

Meir's cashing in on Dudu's appointment.

I'm afraid to think about
where the money's coming from.

I'm serious, Izzy.
We're talking 100 million shekels,

and from Dubai.

Don't you want the deal to happen?
It's your chance for a payday.

What payday?
I'll be making peanuts,

and even so, what good is it
if it's ill*gal?

The State Attorney is out to get Dudu.

I don't want to be collateral damage.

What do you want from me?
Go to him, or to Asher.

I don't trust those two snakes.

But me you trust?

Who else can I trust?

Hello?

-Hey, Yerushalmi, how's it going?
-Fine, thanks. How's your dad?

No change.

Say, have you ever heard of
a company called Cannabar?

Cannabar?

According to our intelligence
the robbers are a couple of Palestinians

working on the Freiman
construction site.

They're the ones pumping up
crime stats in the East Side.

One second.
Hanan...

How's it going?
How are you?

Okay.
Better.

Can I have a word with you?

Sure, come on.

Tax Authority is investigating him,
combed his office, took stuff.

The lawyer says it doesn't look good.

They found his checks at the exchange.

No sh*t!
Your dad covers for Tamir and Gili

and he knew what he was getting into.

I'm worried about him, he's diabetic.

So what do you want from me?

I want to get back to work, Barak.
My salary isn't enough,

certainly not with the trouble
my dad got into.

I have installments on my car, on...

Are you an idiot or something?

You think we care about
your car payments?

You don't care.

Fine.

"Fine"?

What's that supposed to mean?

I get it.

Hump them and dump them.

Watch your mouth, okay?

Leibo.

Hanan,

let me sleep on it.

Okay.

Thanks, Barak.

He's trouble.

Hello.

Hello, we've been waiting.
Come in.

Everyone know Yerushalmi
from the Tax Authority?

Sure, he's famous.

The man who wires people
without permission.

-How do I hook up to the screen?
-Yoel, can you help him?

Here it is.

-Here.
-Thanks.

Here.

-You'll need this.
-Oh, great, thanks.

Okay,

a few days ago we received info
from Izzy Bachar.

Hiba asked me to brief you.

It's like this.

Cannabar, medical cannabis,

a leading company in the field,
been around a few years now.

The controlling party and chairman is...

Mark Hassid,

a real estate developer who decided
to go into the cannabis market.

Got that so far?

Okay.

According to what we got from Izzy,

the company is about to be bought out
by a limited partnership

headed by none other than...

Meir Shemer.

A businessman, who also happens to be
Tamir and Gili Shmaya's uncle.

Thanks to this venture, Meir is raising
funds from banks for the purchase,

and for this purpose,
through the partnership, he deposited

about 100 million shekels
into a special account as a guarantee.

The source of this money
is a company called

Agro Global Investments, or AGI.

Brand-new, privately-owned company

registered in Dubai.

Now, try to follow me because
here's where it gets complicated.

AGI's stocks

are held in escrow by another company

called...

Al Wasit International.

Also registered in Dubai.

Now, Al Wasit

is owned by another,
very big Swiss company, called...

Asterhaus.

This is essentially...

a holdings structure, whose objective is

so we don't know
who really owns the company.

When we found out about this
we got very suspicious, of course,

and the fact that the police
authorized the deal,

in light of everything I'm telling you,

is very, very irregular.

We assume they received a permit

thanks to their connections
with the Commissioner.

100 million shekels is a fortune.

Do you know where
the money is coming from?

As of now we have no idea,

but it certainly is a great way
to launder money.

You run it through several banks,
several countries, several companies,

and presto, it turns into
stock in a cannabis company

with contracts with the Health Ministry.

You said there's
a direct link to Barak?

That's right.

Ten percent of the stock
in Meir Shemer's partnership

is under the name of another company
owned by Adi Hasson,

Natalie Hasson's husband.

We suspect they're both
Barak's straw men.

And that's not all.

I saw a picture of Mark Hassid online

and couldn't figure out
where I recognized him from.

Then the penny dropped.
Check this out.

Oh, that's him.

Turns out our team
happened to photograph him

meeting with Ophir Leibowitz
under unknown circumstances.

Preliminary research shows
that he found himself in personal debt

so he took to the loan sharks.

I think that's how he first got mixed up
with the Shmaya brothers.

Folks,

my instructions:

Stop what you're doing
and put all your energy into this.

Okay?

Through both your channels,
Yerushalmi, and Internal Affairs'.

Very nice work.

Izzy deserves the credit.

He came up with the goods.

What do the doctors say?

They're amazed that
he's still holding on.

What about the shop?

Our worker Sharif is there.

His brother is helping him.

They want to buy the shop.

Really?
Do you want to sell?

I don't know what I want.

I certainly won't do anything before...

I don't know, we'll see.

Do you hear me?

I think I know what Barak
was doing in Italy.

Okay.

The Dubai company was registered
two days after his trip.

Either the controlling party
or his representative

had to go to the escrow company
for identification, right?

Someone has to be a signatory.

Milan is near the Swiss border.

-You think they sent Barak?
-Makes sense.

Who else could Tamir
trust with that?

We are informed that
Oxana Menachemov and Barak split up,

and not on good terms.

I want to try to talk to her.
You know her, don't you?

Know her...

I questioned her
when Ruslan went missing.

We talked a little on the phone.

So you're a familiar face,
that's more than I am.

Will you help me out?

I thought I was suspended, no?

Yeah, it’s busy here, too...

There's someone at the door.

Oxana.

Oxana, it's Izzy Bachar.
Internal Affairs.

I have nothing to say to you.

I don't want to talk to you.

-Oxana...
-Go away!

Mom, take the baby.

MINISTRY OF JUSTICE OF ISRAEL
STATE ATTORNEY - IZZY BACHAR

Hello?

I'm scared.

I think he's tapped my phone.

Don't be scared.

My mother said she saw him on the street
here at night, sitting in a car.

He's following me.

We can protect you.

Oh, yeah?

Like you protected Ruslan?

Listen, we're outside your house now

and I promise we won't budge

until our detectives come to secure you.

We'll help you, but I need you
to answer a few questions.

What questions?
I know nothing.

On your trip to Italy,
did you rent a car?

Yes.

You were near the Swiss border.
Did you cross the border?

Of course not.

Were you with him the whole time?

No...

On Friday he disappeared
for almost a whole day.

With the car?

Yes.

Suzy, good to see you.

Come, have a seat.

-Something to drink?
-No, thanks.

They have fantastic rugelach here.

What's up?

I met with Tal Ben Harush.

I hear she isn't doing great,
psychologically.

Yeah, she's not at her best.

Given what she told me
it's understandable.

What did she tell you?

Let's just say it'll be...

very hard to forget.

How can I help you forget?

Maybe I will have something to drink.

Back to work?

No.

They sent me to the psychologist.
Jerking me around.

What are you doing here?

Shadi Mahamid.

We're still trying to figure out
where he disappeared to.

It's as if the earth swallowed him up.

The Kafr Qasim police found nothing?

Nothing.

It's tragic.

Yeah.

You heard I'm representing
Sami Suleiman?

I heard.

I'm negotiating with
the DA's office now.

For a plea bargain.

How long?

Looks like they'll agree to five years.

If he behaves himself
he'll be out in three.

Look, I'm a good lawyer.

But I'm not that good.

What's the story?

Why are they
in such a hurry to close the case?

I don't know.

It's the State Attorney's office,
go figure.

I spoke to Galit.

I told her.

What did she say?

She kicked me out.

You shouldn't have told her.

I couldn't go on like that.

That ultrasound picture you showed me...

I can't...

get it out of my head.

It's too late for us.

You know that, don't you?

Tell me you understand.

I'm so sorry, Eitan.

So am I.

-Hi, honey.
-Hey.

Hi, Tal.

Hey, Mom,

where'd you put my phone?

-I didn't touch your phone.
-Okay, okay.

-I can call you if you want...
-Listen, I have a request.

Are you listening?

Dad, Dad,

turn off the TV.

I...

I know I was...

in a bad place,

but I'm okay now.

Really, I'm in much better shape, and...

I can manage on my own.

So I'd like you
to go back to your lives

and your homes, and...

I can manage, I can call a cab,
I can order groceries,

I just need my space back, okay?

I need it.

My shrink said the same thing.

Hello?

Hi, Atalia?
It's Natalie Hasson.

The Tax Authority called me in
for questioning tomorrow

and I know I'm supposed to
call you.

You did the right thing.

What did they say, exactly?

I'm supposed to be at the
Investigation Department at 10:30

and bring my business papers along.

Okay.

You know what to say, right?

Is someone from your office
or Weisman's supposed to come with me?

No.
I don't think that'll look good.

Certainly not lawyers.

Go there, answer them
to the best of your ability,

don't say what you don't know,

and we'll all be wiser when it's over.

Okay?

-Okay.
-Good.

You don't say.
She phoned Atalia first thing?

Okay, Yoel, thanks for the update.

We'll talk tomorrow.
Good night.

We're making progress.

Anyway,

I think it's a good thing
she kicked you out.

I'm afraid if she's there alone
she'll fall back to the pills.

Maybe I'm overreacting.

Look, Tal is very independent,

she just wants her routine back.

I'll have to get back to
my routine, too.

My house, my job, my life.

What's that look for?

Did you think I'd move into
your boat with you?

Mevasseret isn't so far away.

I don't know if this will work, Izzy.

Okay, if you want to end it, I...

-Izzy.
-What?

I'm kidding.

Of course it'll work.

Natalie,

my name is Ronen, I'm an investigator
with the Tax Authority.

Hi, Ronen.

You know Izzy?

-He's from Internal Affairs.
-Hi.

Internal Affairs?

What's going on here?

We just want to talk to you.

No, I... I have to go.

It's about Barak Harel.

Never heard of him.

-I have to go.
-Natalie, stop it, we know

what you and your husband
are doing for him.

-I don't know what you're talking about.
-And we know that he's Yarden's father.

No...

-We also know what happened to Sharon.
-That's nice.

Now let me go because I don't know
what you're talking about. Okay?

You treat me like a wh*re

Doesn't Barak treat you like a wh*re?

Barak?
He loves me.

If he loved you he'd be with you.

His wife just died
and he has to be with the kids.

-That's why he can't be with me.
-Fine.

Sharon was an IAD source
for a long time.

She gave us info on Barak.

She planted a camera
in her apartment for us.

Barak found out and k*lled her.

Are you trying to manipulate me?

Do you really think she's alive?

That she's out there
somewhere having fun?

I'm sure it's occurred to you
that he k*lled her.

But it was easier to deny it
since he set you up in life.

You thought of your family, your kids.

Look, you have two options,

either the Tax Authority
opens an investigation

into you and your husband
that'll ruin your life,

you'll lose everything.
-No...

Or you help us with Barak.

He m*rder*d your sister, and you two
will serve time because of him.

They'll take away your house, your kids.

Stop!

But if you help us catch him

we'll come to an arrangement.

We'll leave you the house,
maybe some of the money.

And most importantly,

you'll finally realize
what happened to your sister.

He'll k*ll me too.

He won't hurt you.
I promise.

How does it work?

Did you sign an agreement with him?

How did she sound to you?

A little scared, but okay, all in all.

She said they asked her
about checks written to Shapirim,

asked her to provide invoices,

told her they're going to audit.
That's all.

-Your name didn't come up.
-They didn't ask her about Adi?

No.

They may be planning to
summon him separately.

Okay, I want to talk to her.
Tell her I'm coming over.

All right.

What's up?
Ready for tonight?

Ready.

Hey, Atalia Ben Moshe
is calling Natalie Hasson.

Barak is going to see her later,
he wants to talk to her.

-What?
-He's going to feel her out.

We have to be there.

Barak is heading in your direction.

-Is he alone?
-Looks like it.

Copy that.

What's the matter?

It's all happening too fast.

Oh, there he is.

I don't know if Natalie can handle this.

We don't have a choice.

-Hey.
-Hi.

Won't you sit with me?

Sure.

-Coffee?
-Sure.

Not good.
He suspects something.

Relax, nothing's happened yet.

How are you, okay?

Yeah.

It wasn't so bad.

Being interrogated at the Tax Authority
is no barrel of fun.

True.

But we survived.

Sorry.

I'll get something to clean it.

What's the matter?

Nothing, I forgot something.
We'll talk.

sh*t, if he escapes now
he'll ruin everything.

Wait, Izzy, we don't have
authorization for his arrest.

Then call and get one.

Okay, but don't move.
This isn't what we agreed on.

Wait here.

All right.

Wait, Izzy...

Fogel, move in!
Let's grab him!

Turn off your engine!
Now!

Get out of the car.

All right.
Thanks, Yifat.

It's okay.
You can arrest him.

I'm taking your g*n.

Take whatever you want.

This is your big moment, huh, Izzy?

Your dream come true.

They're looking for you.

I'm sure it can wait.

You built an empire, huh?

Apartments, stores,

all under Yarden's name.

Aren't you afraid that Shira
and Maayan will be jealous?

Or do you have shell companies
named after them, too?

Don't bring them into this, Izzy.

I don't have to, they're already in.

You not only ruined your life,
you ruined theirs, too.

Take a look at this.

It was taken in Switzerland.

Outside the building
of a company called Asterhaus.

The Shin Bet helped us get it.

They were thrilled to help.

They don't like you ever
since you burned Imad Khirbawi.

Nice disguise.

-You're the major party in Cannabar.
-I want to talk to a lawyer.

You mean Atalia?

We're working on getting
a search warrant for her office.

Bullshit.
No one will authorize it.

You aren't as immune
as you think, Barak.

We'll be there by tonight.

Excuse me.

If you ask me, we'll find a lot of
very interesting things at Atalia's.

We got you.

For financial crimes, granted,
but that's something, too.

That's how they got Al Capone.

The f*ck won't answer
either phone.

Probably getting laid.

How's it going?

Barak's been delayed,
we'll start without him.

He only interrupts, anyway.

As you know, we've had many break-ins
in the past few months.

Our intelligence points to Palestinians
working on the new Freiman project.

The plan is a large scale
raid on the construction site tonight.

I'll be running the operation.
A few important points.

One, make contact.

I don't wanna hear that anyone
chickened out, okay?

I want arrests.

-Got it.
-Got it.

Good.
Two, and maybe most important,

safety.

These construction sites
are dangerous,

dark, full of holes.

I want you all with flashlights,
watch your step, look out for each other

Now go get ready.

See you there
and good luck to all.

-Good luck.
-Thank you.

I'll try him again.

You know,

about your father,

I had no idea.

I know.

Look at that,

a man his age,

two th*gs attack him
and they end up in the hospital.

Yeah, but he's in the hospital, too.

He'll pull through, he's strong.

Not as strong as he used to be.

Kobi, what's up?

Hello, Barak.

Kobi Hoenig, State Attorney.

I don't believe we've met.
Nice to meet you.

Do you know Yifat,
our new Internal Affairs director?

Yes.

-How are you, Yifat?
-Fine, thanks.

What's going on?

I told Dudu you wouldn't give up.

What do you mean?

Isn't that why you're here?
You want him.

Who, Dudu?

Why do I need Dudu when I have you,
Dudu's boss,

the man who appointed Dudu,

the man who ordered Dudu
to authorize the Cannabar deal,

who's bribing him with crypto?

Beg your pardon?

-What's this about?
-We have a tap on Dudu's phone.

-What?
-Since when?

Since he tried to interfere
with this investigation.

We told as few people as possible.

Your future doesn't look
too bright, Barak.

Your whole house of cards
is about to collapse.

So the State's Attorney
comes here in person

just to tell me I'm screwed?

I don't think so.

You need something from me.

They say you're a sharp guy.

Are we being recorded?

Yes.

The medical cannabis reform,

the minute it passes

it'll increase the value of Cannabar
significantly, won't it?

I wondered why the coalition
suddenly decided

to push it through,

then the penny finally dropped.

It's because the Shmaya brothers
are getting into the business.

Where are you going with this, Kobi?

I don't believe in coincidences.

Was Zigdon's appointment the payoff?

The PM pushes the cannabis reform

and you protect him from the inside?

If you want more information
on the matter

we'll have to reach
an understanding first.

He's full of sh*t, he's got nothing.

He's lying through his teeth.

Is it true?

Do you have a deal with him?

Kobi, are you crazy?
What's he got to do with the PM?

Aren't you the one who says

he pulled strings
to get the Commissioner appointed?

What's going on, Hiba?
Where did this come from?

Let's discuss this outside, okay?

-What's going on?
-I'm shocked.

Is there any support for your theory?

Intelligence?

Or are you just fishing
because you're obsessed with the PM?

-My instincts are rarely wrong.
-Give me a break,

you let him know what you want from him
so now he's making up stories.

Do you think the Attorney General
owes you an explanation?

Are you actually going to recruit him,
with all the blood on his hands?

Izzy, the PM's cases
are of the highest priority.

-Who says?
-I do.

So you're dragging the whole system
down for the sake of your ego?

Izzy, I am the system!

Look,

if they have no deal with him,
then they don't,

but if they do,

here's our chance to nail a case
of top-level corruption,

in real time, when we have a man inside.

-The rest is background noise.
-Background noise?

Tal Ben Harush background noise?
Her baby?

Look, Barak will have to testify
to everything first.

Justice will be done, I promise.

You don't know him.
He's an even bigger snake than you.

He'll screw you and get away with it.

Kobi, if we take too much time with this

his absence will arouse suspicion.

His phone keeps ringing.

We have to send him back.

You're out of your minds, really.
Hiba.

I agree with Izzy.
He's playing with us.

I think he's just trying to buy time.

Here's my suggestion.

I'll put together a special team
to handle him.

You'll head the team
so you can keep an eye on him.

We'll hire you back
and give you a promotion.

Are you really trying to buy me
with a promotion?

You have my word,

as part of any deal with him

he'll have to implicate Hanan Salame
in the Tal Ben Harush incident.

You'll be there
to make sure it happens.

Isn't that how you two started out?

Handler and asset?

You'll come full circle.

-Everybody here?
-Yeah.

Okay, Chico, Shem-Tov,

you and your men stay here
for reconnaissance.

Everyone else, come with me.

-Hanan.
-Yeah?

Take your men to the left flank.

See anything?

Nothing.
They all escaped.

f*ck.

The b*stards are upstairs.

Hanan, Oshri, come with me.

The rest of you,
stay here and comb this floor.

Hey!

Anybody here?

You're just wasting our time.

f*ck, there's nothing here.

f*ck, someone fell.

-He's one of yours!
-Call the ambulance now!

-Let's go, let's go!

Call the Emergency!
Quick!

f*ck.

Hi, you've reached
Suzy Amitai's voicemail.

Leave a message after the beep
or message me.

Hey, Suzy, it's Tal Ben Harush.

I haven't heard from you
in a few days now.

Any news?

Because it doesn't seem like it.
Call me back.

b*tch.

-Who's there?
-Me.

Izzy?

What's the matter?

RESCUE UNIT

-Where is that bum?
-I don't know. Something's wrong.

He's always somewhere else
when you need him.

There he is.

Where were you, you jerk?

What's going on?
How did it happen?

Looks like he slipped.

All right.

Show me the scene
before the whole world gets here.

You can't be serious.

This is a joke, right?

Tal, we need to make
the best of the situation.

Oh, this is the best?

That's what this
was always about, wasn't it?

You going back to work at my expense.

Are you serious?

You made me get into this.

I can't believe
you're actually considering it.

What would you prefer?

For him to cut a deal
with me out of the picture?

Because that's where it's going.
It'll happen with me or without me,

so you tell me which is best.

You want Hanan Salame
to pay for what he did, right?

Barak will hand him to us.

-The hell he will.
-He will, I promise.

What are your promises worth?
What?!

Never mind me.

What about Ruslan?
Eliran Khen, or Sharon Tzur?

Izzy, if you go for this,
you and me are through, okay?

You already said yes?

Go.

-Tal, don't do this.
-Go.

-Tal, I promise...
-Get out.

Hey, man.

Is the regional commander here yet?
