and hear you both out.
Help me out here.
You said they allow
you to break the lock,
I'm not messing with them,
I have enough problems.
But I'll pay you.
Excuse me, got a light?
Sure.
What's the matter?
That's my bike.
It was stolen a month ago.
You don't say.
I told you, he isn't the thief,
that's his bike.
What'll you do now?
I need a disc grinder.
You got one?
A disc grinder? I might
have one in the storeroom.
But I don't know how to use it.
Get it, I'll do it.
-Yeah?-Yeah.
Wait here, I'll get it.
Yunes.
Yunes.
What, Sammy?
Who's that?
Excuse me, that's his bike.
Your bike?

Where'd you get it?

Listen, it's my bike.
You stole it.
Unlock it.
-I didn't steal it.
Open it or I'll call the cops.
-I bought it.
Unlock it or...
-Why the cops?
Then open it.
No. -No?
It's his bike.
Lay off! He stole it.
Get over here!
Son of a bitch...
Where do you think you're going.
One of your workers
stole my bike.
Who?
-I don't know, one of your workers.
Who, Samuel?
-I don't know his name.
Come with me.
One of them?
No.
Him?
No.
Him?
Yes.
Why'd you steal his bike?
I didn't.
-Don't lie to me.
I swear on my daughter's life,
I didn't steal it,
I bought it a week ago.
I don't know what he's thinking.
-Don't lie to me.
Listen, I didn't steal it.
I didn't steal it.
-You trying to embarrass me?
I didn't steal it, I bought it.
Where'd you buy it?
-Leave him alone.
At the bus station.
-Leave him alone.
Your workers are giving me
a heart attack.
Well, Yunes?
-I didn't steal it.
I'm not a thief. Of course not,
I know. Don't worry.
What's the story?
I work out next door,
and I saw my. bike
locked up outside.
He says l stole it.
Let's step outside.
Come.
First of all, nice to meet you.
Michelle. -Omer.
Let's calm down here.
Give me a second
to look into this, okay?
Where did you get it?
I bought it, I didn't steal it.
You promise?
-Yes I bought it, I really did.
A week ago.
-Okay.
Police.
I called earlier about a stolen
bike.
The thief is here now.
What bike?
Did you file a complain?
No, two cops were here, they
told me to call when the thief comes.
Is that you,
behind the courthouse?
Yes.
Okay, I'm sending them.
Look, I understand it's
your bike and it was stolen,
but he didn't steal it, okay?
He paid for it.
I realize it's hard to accept,
but it's his now.
His?
What are you talking about?!
Look at it objectively,
it's not your bike anymore.
Listen,
I called the police,
you better unlock it
before they get here.
Why the police?
Unlock it and I'll call them
off.
Give me the 250 shekels I paid.
Not even a penny.
You said it's precious to you,
pay him what he paid,
it's only fair.
I'm asking nicely,
unlock if before they get here.
Then give me what I paid
and take it.
Listen, I know him,
he's not a thief.
Let me explain something.
Bro, every day I take my
daughter to kindergarten,
back and forth,
an hour in each direction.
I promised her I'd buy a bike.
She wanted a white bike
so I went to buy one
and it was the only white one
there.
I didn't know it was yours,
but I figure it's mine now.
My daughter, too.
It's our car.
I know you need them
and they used to be yours,
but I need the money...
to buy another white bike.
Ask anyone here,
Yunes never steals.
We're both human,
Leave the cops out.
We can handle this,
like two people.
Who's the thief?
Hello, I'm Michelle, his boss.
Nice to meet you.
I'm not allowed, I'm religious.
Look...
he works for me
and his Hebrew isn't great
but he's not a thief, okay?
He's not a thief.
Where'd you buy it?
On the street at the bus
station.
Do you have a receipt?
What's a "receipt"?
Proof that you bought it.
No, he just sold it to
250 shekels.
Let me see your visa.
What's his visa got to do with
Give me your visa.
Your visa..
expired four months ago.
Did you know that?
Did you?
I need to get an extension.
You're illegal, get it?
Do you get it?
I'm legal. I have a daughter
and a wife. We're legal.
I'm supposed to get
an extension this week.
Really.
Listen, we're all set here. I
have a lawyer who deals with all...
Why are you taking his picture?!
I have to send his picture
to the database. Come with me.
They'll check if he's allowed to
stay.
Listen, buddy, I'm sure it's
your bike.
Listen to me...
But you have to file a
complaint.
File a complaint.
We'll see about him,
what the immigration police say,
if he's a refugee, an
infiltrator,
whatever. He's..
He's done for.
File a complaint and you'll
get your bike back soon.
Will they deport him?
-Probably.
You shouldn't have called the
cops.
I only wanted my bike back.
-Is all this worth 250 shekels?
Okay, I'll get the money.
Where's an ATM.
Now you're getting the money...
What's the story?
-You aren't taking him away, are you?
This is no longer your business,
you're in the way.
Listen,
don't take him away.
I'll work it out, okay?
We're only getting his details.
Please...
-Don't bother me, please.
Promise you won't take him away
I told you, we aren't taking him
away, we're only getting his details.
Now let me work...
You want me to arrest you?!
Where's an ATM?
Go through the factory
and take a right.
Can you close the door, please?
Close the door, please.
Where'd you disappear to?
Here, man. My show starts
in a minute. -Where is he?
Who?
The Eritrean?
-Yeah.
The cops took him away. Here.
-Took him where?
How should I know? Take it.
Bring it to the bar, okay?
