01x07 - Back-Seat People

[bunniefuu]

GET WELL

Orna.

She is not dead. He's lying.

She's not dead. He keeps her in his house.

He won't let anybody see her.

Right, Dad?

Get up.

Did you check the times?

Yeah, yeah, we're fine.

Airport is that way.

There is a flight to Israel
that leaves in an hour.

- They'll let you get on the plane.
- Wait.

Roma said she's in his father's house.

He said Gali's alive.

Orna, come.

Your flight is leaving.

Wait. Just tell me what she stole
from him, and I'll get it back.

Come on, you idiot!

I'll get it back!

Please wait.

No! No, wait.

Wait, wait!

Wait, don't go.

- It's my daughter, I can't let you go.
- Move!

- No! Please.
- Orna!

- Move.
- No.

I can't let you leave.

No, no! Wait!

Please, just.

Don't go, don't go. Wait.

Just one minute. Please.

Whatever she stole from him,
I promise, I will bring it back.

I'm her mother. I know her.

I will find it.

Please.

Anton.

Give me a minute.
Keep an eye on the other one.

There were four passports.

He asked me specifically about this man.

Why him?

Does he have what he wants?

Yes.

But you won't find him.

Why? How do you know?

Because we couldn't.

We already sent men down there,

professional men,
and they couldn't find him.

Mumbai is a very dangerous place
right now.

But then again, you have
Israeli Intelligence by your side.

Just keep in mind, these people
are not known for their loyalty.

If you find anything, call me.

And then we'll get you
to see your daughter.

Anton!

His real name is Efraim Goldstein.

Efi, I know.

They were looking for him too,
the police here in India.

There's one report on file,

a passenger who recognized him
on a bus to the airport.

Injured, but alive.

The police looked into it
but found nothing.

- No reports since.
- I thought he was dead,

because his friend in Israel
had sent him money here

and he never came to pick it up.

Let's put it this way, if he's not
dead, this isn't a bad place to start.

You're not from the police, yes?

- No, no, no.
- Then how come you know my address?

We thought maybe you could help us.

- Are you Russians?
- No. Israel.

And what currency do they use in Israel?

There's no shame
in getting something in return.

Tell me, how can I help you?

We have a friend who is traveling
in India by himself,

and he's. well, he's a bit confused.

He's not entirely okay.

We know he had someone wire money here,

and the name they used
for the transfer is yours.

So we thought maybe you helped him,
or sold him something,

or maybe you just. Maybe even
you just know where he is.

Wait, wait.

Wait, let me show you.

That's him.

This man is not your friend.

- Anyway, I never met him.
- What do you mean?

What do you mean?

Someone made a mistake
by sending the money.

They wrote "Lali Battahya" with double T.
That's my name.

Probably they meant "Lali Batahya,"
with single T.

And this name is very common around here.

Like flies by the garbage.

Anyway, I don't know this man.

I even don't know about the money until
you and other people came looking for him.

Wait. Other people already came to ask?

Yeah.

Two Russians, one American,
and now Israelis.

This man has a lot of friends, hmm?

Anyway, I told all of them
what I told you.

You are at the wrong house.

If I knew 3,000 euros are waiting for me,

I would have been dancing
all the way to the bank.

Maybe friend of your husband. Who g--

My husband doesn't have time for all this.

He hardly has the time for us.

I am sorry.

My other son is coming back from school.

He has to eat before going for work.

Please.

Leave.

But why someone use your name
with a double T?

It's a strange mistake to make.

Madam.

If it made sense,
it wouldn't be a mistake, right?

Come.

I've got a really bad feeling.

Don't we all?

So what's our plan, exactly?

We find Efi,

take back what he stole, free Gali,

live our lives,

global warming, collapse
of the food chain, apocalypse, the end.

Okay, but I'm saying.

You're not here out of kindness, I assume.

- I'm here out of kindness, too.
- Okay, but.

can't you just tell me what it is?

What is it they say Gali stole?

Whatever it is,
that's why you're here, no?

That's your job, to find it
and bring it back home.

No. It's more like: you need a ride,
I need a paycheck.

What?

It's a win-win.
We find what needs finding together,

you take it to Russia,
get your annoying daughter back,

and then I update Israel on where it is.

Once there's an address,
there are professionals who handle it.

Don't worry.

- Rita?
- Yes.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Hi, I'm Sam.
- Hey. Nice to meet you.

Small present from Stefan.

Oh, thank you.

- He sends his love.
- Who's Stefan?

Shut up, you idiot.

- Should we take the table over here?
- Yes.

Let's go.

- Come.
- Come.

You're hurt, you're wanted.

You need two things.

You need a passport
to get the hell out of here,

and you need a doctor so you don't die.

And to get these two things,
you're gonna need someone to help you.

Someone wired him money,
but it's a dead end.

Nobody took it.

And then there's his injury.

Yeah, the injury is easy enough
to figure out.

But what's a little bit more difficult is
finding a doctor.

I mean, there aren't many doctors
that do this kind of work here in Bombay.

If he was really injured, there's
a good chance he went to this doctor.

Tell me about the bus again.

The police put out a description,
and someone called.

There are about 15,000 buses in Mumbai,

but the one where they saw him,
it was going to the airport.

Three months have passed,
and no one has a clue where this guy is.

Wait, wait, wait.

You're tryna tell me
this all happened three months ago?

So, it's all raven related?

What is raven?

- It doesn't matter.
- m*ssile guidance system.

- What?
- That's what we're talking about, right?

The abduction.

"The abduction"? What abduction?

Three months ago, four armed men
kidnapped this engineer

from a hotel here in Bombay,

and then they k*lled him.

And then these other men
tried to k*ll them.

What, you never heard about it?

Made the headlines here.

Thank you, Sam. Let's go back.

It's just that he was also Israeli,
this engineer.

Though, this device he developed.
Weapon, m*ssile guidance, whatever.

is basically a prototype
he stole from your people.

That's what all these men were after.

And now this engineer is dead, and
no one knows where his device has gone.

Three months now,
people have been pouring into India,

climbing all over each other,
trying to get their hands on it.

Loads of people disappearing,

loads of other people
looking for those people.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm. I'm fine.

So, this guy you're looking for,
have you got a photo or something?

Show him.

Uh-huh.

Cool.

I'm just gonna take a quick leak.

If the waitress comes by,
just get another beer or something.

So it's Israeli.

That's why you're here?

You at least wanna tell me who Stefan is?

No.

- Wanna tell me what's in the package?
- No.

Great.

A surprise attack.

The sh**t-out, peaking around 10:00 a.m.,
lasted for nearly 30 minutes.

No!

Yes.

No.

In Mumbai, yes.

All right?

He didn't go to the bathroom, our friend.

What?

I saw him talking on the phone
a second ago, in the bathroom.

There's a window,
you can see the back from there.

All right, when I was
in the loo, I did some thinking.

I think I'm gonna help you find your guy.

Now, if we can just go through
all the details.

- Let's go.
- Okay?

- Where to?
- We have to go now.

Rita, are you all right?

- I don't know what the--
- Orna.

- But he said he could help.
- Why, what's wrong?

He's not going to help you with anything.

- f*ck's sake, woman!
- Come on, now.

What the f*ck are you doing?

Easy. We're walking out calm.
Two tourists looking for a place to eat.

Get in the taxi.

No. No, I'm eating food.

- It's fine. Enjoy your dinner.
- No, no. No.

Excuse me, ladies, I'm on a break now.

Please leave.

This is a dangerous place
with dangerous people.

If they think you know
something they don't,

they won't hesitate to take you out.
You understand?

Sorry I didn't realize your guy
was going to sell us out.

Come on. We're going to our doctor.

- Rita?
- Yes.

You're late.

I don't have much time,
it's my son's birthday.

Sorry, it won't take long. Happy birthday.

Which of you two is hurt?

You look fine to me.

We are.

- What's going on here?
- We just need a consultation.

A few questions
and we will pay whatever you charge.

I don't know who gave you my number,
but he made a mistake.

If you're ill,
you should go to the hospital.

No, please. We're looking
for our friend. Just one quick question.

Sorry, you'll have to leave.

- How old is he?
- Who?

Your son. You said it's his birthday.

- Oh. Nine.
- Wow.

Exactly like my boy.

He's probably up, waiting for me.

Please, one really quick question
and you're back home with your family.

Please.

Okay. What's the question?

We are looking for our friend.

We know he was wounded, so maybe you.

I've never seen him in my life.

When was he here?

I told you, I don't know him.

Was that the question? So, let's go.

Please, this is very important to me.

- Very. Please.
- No, no.

Let's go. Forget the money.

What is this? Where'd you get a g*n?

Be quiet. Sit down. There.

Please. I have children.

Rita. I don't think we need that.

The more you interrupt me,
the longer this takes.

Tell me about this man. When was he here?

Did you treat him?

Tell me what happened.

He was dying.

A shrapnel wound in his left hip,
a few days old.

I wanted to operate him under
general anesthesia but he refused.

He had a suitcase with him
he was afraid somebody might steal.

So I had no choice.

He had his g*n pointed at me
throughout the surgery.

- Was there anyone else with him?
- No, no, no.

You said he was dying.
Someone had to help him.

Bring him here, pick him up after.

Look, I don't know where he went.

I don't know where he is.

If it's money you want.

You just need to tell me who helped him.

He said if I said anything
he'd k*ll my family, and I believe him.

I can also do things to your family.

- Rita, enough, no need for that.
- I said shut up.

- Please, don't. Please, don't.
- Tell me about this man.

Leave it, let it go, you don't have to.

What are you doing? Are you crazy?

Get off me, you idiot.
Are you out of your mind?

Damn it!

It's one thing if you're risking yourself,

but don't get in my way.

- I thought you were here to help me.
- I am.

But for that, I need to get us both
out of here in one piece.

And every extra minute we're here
over this nonsense

- raises the potential.
- It's not nonsense.

Don't look at me like that.

There are things I won't do,

things Gali wouldn't have wanted
done in her name.

Really?

Yes. What's with that face?

Sweetheart, your daughter
would be the first to do it.

That's not true at all.

You're not gettin' in?

Thank you, we'll take the next one.

Sure.

Please.

And I can't believe
that's what she wanted, all of this.

Something got messed up.
She had some complication.

Some complication?

Your daughter was in the army in a job
that put insane power in her hands.

Then after she got out,
someone offered her a deal:

even more power and a lot more money.

She had two options:
be a nobody, or cash in.

There's no complication.

It's all very simple.

That thing she offered Mikhail,
you know what that is?

Something about missiles, he said.

A weapon.

What she stole isn't a b*mb
that wipes out a city with one big boom.

It's a surgeon's scalpel.

One bank. One hospital. One power station.

Until the world collapses from the inside,
quietly.

She didn't sell a weapon, she sold chaos.

That's your daughter.

And if she were here tonight,

there wouldn't be a hint of a debate
what to do with that doctor.

I need to make a call.
Meet back here at 7:00 a.m.

And stay in your room. No roaming around.

Excuse me, the air
conditioner is working in your room?

No.

No, they-they turn off the generator here
at 2:00.

Really?

I don't know why they do that.

Why 2:00 a.m.?

Why turn it off at all?

All right.

Okay, good night.

Good night.

You okay?

- You need help or anything?
- No.

- You sure?
- Yes.

Yes, definitely need some help here.
Thank you.

You've locked yourself outside your room?

This. This card, it's not working now.

It was working before
and I know it will in the future, again.

So, at least I have narrowed
my problem down to the present.

That's a good start.

Right?

I even went down to reception.

There's no one there.

You've tried calling the hotel's number?

What?

That's a brilliant idea.

There you go.

Your phone?

- It's in the room.
- The room that is locked?

That's the one.

Well, there is a solution for it, so.

You're. Jewish, right?

Sorry, I thought I heard you speaking
Hebrew with your friend next to the lift.

Yes.

So, as a Jewish person,

how does it feel to have
a giant f*cking swastika over your head?

It's not an Indian thing?

'Cause I remember I saw it a few times
with my daughter

- in the south and.
- Right.

Listen, they don't pick up.

- Let's call in five minutes, okay?
- Sure.

Sorry, what's the deal with it?

It's an ancient Hindu symbol, isn't it?

It's a swastika in.

Sanskrit, it means,
like, auspiciousness, well-being.

Hitler took it, gave it a 45 degree turn
and put it on a n*zi flag,

and now you've got peace and love,
death to all Jews.

Peace and love.

Death to all the Jews.

f*cking weird, isn't it?

One thing can be two totally
opposite things, 180 degrees apart.

Forty-five.

Degrees, you mean. Forty-five degrees.

Look, I. I feel like I must be intruding,

- don't you need to sleep or something?
- No, no. I can't sleep.

- Are you sure?
- It's fine. Yeah, yeah.

Tried it. It doesn't work for me.

You wanna.

So, your daughter, she's.

she's here in the same hotel?

No, no.

No, it's.

We've been together in an.
on another trip.

It's my second visit here, yeah.

Oh, all right.
So, what are you doing this time?

I'm helping.

looking for a friend
of my daughter who's missing.

Yeah. What are you doing here?

Dunno.

I. I was having a hard time at home.
It's Sheffield, England.

My. my wife, she passed away last year,

and she was.
she was ill for a really long time, so.

When.

When she died,
it was actually a bit of a relief.

I know it sounds horrid
to say it like that.

No.

I felt really guilty about that feeling,

in a way that was not healthy
or balanced at all.

Yeah.

It's. Yeah, I just needed some peace.

For myself, really.

- Sorry, I just. I don't think I'm.
- I.

I just want you to know I did not mean

to seduce you with my sad tale.

Don't get me started with sad tales.

You know, I.
I do hope you find your daughter.

Hey.

- Hey.
- No, it's okay.

- No, I'm s.
- You know what, it's okay.

- I'm sorry. No, I.
- It's every. everything okay.

- I'm just.
- Did I say something wrong?

Let me just go to the bathroom
for a minute,

- I'm. I just--
- Hey, do--

It's your daughter's friend.

You're looking
for your daughter's friend, right?

I scared you a little bit, sorry.

A little bit, yeah?

It's all right.

It's okay.

It's all right.

Relax.

Okay?

Rita!

Rita!

Can someone help me?

Sir, help!

Sorry, can you help me?

Is someone here?

No one here.

Sure?

Yes.

Come.

Easy.

Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Welcome.

Thank you.

When Gali was.

four, five,

there was this psycho kid
in her preschool.

A real psychopath.

He'd threaten her, tear up her doll.

Until one day, he shoved her
off the swing so hard,

she broke her arm.

Poor thing. And it was summer, too.

And back then I was. a kid myself.

"A kid." I was Gali's age now.

I went to the teacher.

I already had it in my head
how I'd threaten her,

that if she didn't get rid of him,
I would report her.

But then she told me that.

that the poor boy's mom
is in the hospital.

And basically, I'm a pretty awful person

for even daring to say anything.

And I don't know why,

maybe because nobody ever
flipped a table for me,

I just folded.

I didn't even know how to approach it.
It confused me, so.

I just brushed it off.

I gave Gali this whole speech

about what a "mature girl" she is,
and bought her a new doll.

And mostly I just waited
for it to sort itself out.

And looking back,
I've got a thousand stories like that.

A thousand.

So what do I know?

Maybe if the only option
I left Gali was being a victim,

maybe it's my fault
she turned into a bully.

Nice story, very touching.

Are you mad at me
about what happened tonight?

Not relevant to the discussion.

- So what's the discussion about?
- The discussion is about,

and I'm putting this gently on purpose,

are you the most naive woman alive,
or the dumbest?

- Either way, you're living in a fantasy.
- Okay.

Explain.

You tell me a sad story about how
the teacher made excuses for a bully.

He's sick, his family's sick, poor thing.

But at the end of the day,
you know exactly what he is.

Just some little as*h*le kid
who broke your daughter's arm.

Okay.

Okay, so what do you do,
in the same breath?

You're exactly like the teacher.

You give me a thousand excuses for Gali.

"It's because of me.
It's not her fault. Poor thing."

It doesn't matter that she didn't
understand what she was getting into,

and it doesn't matter
that she didn't mean to.

because at the end of the day,
you and I both know

exactly what she is.

It's not the same. It's different.

How is it any different?

Because that's my daughter.

Oh, God.

If you're struggling, wait outside.

My son found him in the bus
to the airport when he was cleaning.

He was wounded.

Someone shot him.

And he didn't want to go to a hospital.

So he didn't know what to do.

I told him right away.

I told him, "Call the police."

But then the Israeli offered him money,

a thousand dollars cash.

And he said there would be more
if we helped him,

so we brought him here.

And then?

We helped him.

My brother, he knows this man.

He deals with the stuff like this.

So he got us in touch with a doctor
here in Mumbai

and also arranged
for a new passport for him.

But, for all this,
he needed much more money.

Why didn't he get the money
that they sent him?

Just, please, don't take the money
he gave us. Please.

Forget the money.

- Let them take it and leave!
- We need that money.

I don't care about the money.

I just want to know where he is.

We didn't do really anything to him.

He just started feeling very bad.

Very bad.

I think his wound got infected.

He wouldn't go to a hospital.

I didn't want to go to the police.

We didn't want to get in trouble.

Where is he now?

It's here?

It's here.

We just need to sleep here tonight.

We will leave tomorrow.

We won't tell anyone anything.

- Yes?
- It's Rita.

Oh, hi. One sec, I'll put you through.

What are you doing there, Olga?

Vera?

Mila?

Polina?

Oh, hi, Polina. Good evening.

- Who's Polina?
- No one.

Listen, I want you guys to start thinking
what you're getting me for the holiday.

I need a vacation.
Somewhere nice and warm.

Maybe Mallorca.

Seriously? That's great news.

Get me the first flight to Tel Aviv?

There's one tonight.
Are you somewhere safe?

Oh, yeah. I'm in a perfect place.

Perfect. Emailing it now.

Polina, what are you doing tonight?

Polina.

All clear, stand down.

They're putting us on a flight
to Moscow tomorrow at noon.

- From which airport?
- Chhatrapati.

That's the earliest they've got.
Get some sleep.

Orna?

Hello?

Yeah, I.

Sorry to call like this, I.

Did something happen?

It's probably the middle
of the night there.

It's okay, it's okay, where are you?

Are you okay?

No, not really.

I adore you, you know that?

You're like a movie character, like Bambi.

Living in some magical forest,

while the rest of us are here
up to our necks in mud.

Still. you did okay.

Tell me, when we were kids,

what did you think I'd turn out to be?

I don't know. I.
I didn't really think about it.

But some people, you just know, right?

Like.

you can smell it on them,

that they're back-seat people.

Not the ones who decide
where they're headed.

No, Orna, you're not like that.

You never were.

I'm thirsty. Want some water?

Yes, please.

I actually think
I've always been like that.

With Benny, and the pregnancy.

With Gali.

With you too.

I don't see you that way.

Not now, for sure.

I think only now I'm at the point
where I feel ready to be a mother.

And I have a 23-year-old daughter.

How f*cked up is that?

Look.

It's not, not f*cked up.

But better late than never, right?

Here.

Thanks.

Roni, are you. is everything okay?
I'm a bit worried.

What? No, yeah, I.

I'm okay.

Thanks, Dori. You helped me.

Orna?

Orna?

Orna!

Where is she?

My friend, where is she?

She told not to wake you up.
She said you don't feel well.

She left?

Yeah. A few hours ago.

- Yes?
- It's Rita.

One sec, putting you through.

- Hello. Aren't you on the flight?
- Hold-up.

I need a flight to Moscow. Urgent.

Moscow? You've got the package?

I need a flight.

Uh. okay.

On the Israeli passport?

Rita?
