- The night of the murder -

"Sunday, March 25th

"Hi, Michal, it's Hagos.

"I still don't know
what will be with me,

"just want to tell you that

"I think that the one who
told the police about me

"was Ermi.

"I think he did it because I
suspected that he was not a refugee,

"but an Eritrean general,
a war criminal.

"I think that it is important
that you know this

"and maybe check if it's true."



Come on, answer...

"Michal"

Hello?

Ermi?

Asylum City

I'm done here.

Okay. Pinto, can we clear the body?
-Yes.

It's all yours.

Thank you.

Anat, I don't know what to say...

other than that I'll do
everything I can...

I need to ask you some questions.
Are you up for it?

When did you leave your apartment?

This morning.



At 7:00.

When did you last speak to him?

Well...

at noon

he called to say
he's got a surprise for me.

And what was he doing here?

Did he have a key?

He must have wanted to have
the surprise wait for me at home.

So he had a key.

I don't know what the surprise was,
he didn't say, just...

Okay.

Explain this to me again,

calmly.

How did you guys not realize
he was coming upstairs?

Wasn't there a lookout downstairs?
-There was. -And?

We told him to call us
only if the cop lady shows up.

This guy came out of nowhere.

And what happened?

Berko panicked and...
things got messy.

No, no, no, don't give me
"things got messy",

I want the exact rundown.
I sent my most professional team

to do a 10-minute job,
and ended with a body!

He walked in before we managed
to complete the job,

and Berko whacked his head
with a gun. -Why the head?!

What are you, newbies?!

We were afraid he'd run away.
-So what if he did?!

And if he would've ID you, I'd put
all of you on a flight outta here

and to hell with everybody.

A 30-day vacation,
and you're back.

How could you
kill a cop's boyfriend?!

And the one
who's got Ermi i, no less!

And whose dad is... Oh, God, I don't
even wanna think about her dad.

Did anybody see you?

Nobody.

It was a matter of seconds.
We were out. Nobody saw a thing.

Tell your men to go home, and stay
there until I say they can leave.

Okay.
-Okay. Situation evaluation?

They've got nothing
on the body,

assuming there were no witnesses.
Nothing.

Did you all have gloves on?
-Sure, all of us.

We touched nothing there.
-Good.

In short, it's a clean scene.
They've got nothing.

And Ermi doesn't know anybody.
At worst, he'll drop Andre's name.

You say it like it's a good thing.
-Andre won't talk.

I don't like this.
-So, should we take Ermi down?

Have another body? It's too risky.
Tomorrow is his remand,

they have to let him speak to
a lawyer. I'll talk to him.

He won't say a word, trust me.

He knows what will happen if
he talks. He's not an idiot.

He could hand Boaz over to them.
-He won't.

I don't trust him,
I don't trust anyone.

Tomorrow morning you put
Boaz and his family on a flight.

Just send them on a nice vacation so
his wife doesn't go ballistic. -Okay.

And tonight you shut down the bank.
Clean out the safes,

close the cafe, everything.
By tomorrow, there's no bank.

Is anyone following the cop?
-No, but I can arrange that.

No, steer clear of her.

Here you go, sweetie.
-Mom, I can't eat right now.

Anat, eat up,
you haven't eaten all day.

I can't...
-Just a bite, you have to.

So drink some water.

I'll get your old room ready,
you'll sleep there.

I took down the Eminem poster,
figured you don't need it anymore.

Sweetie...

My darling.

Hello, good evening.
-Hi, how are you?

May I?

Anything to eat, David?
-No, thanks.

I'll let you two talk.
-Thanks, Mom.

Anati..

I'd tell you I'm sorry for your loss,

but... it's no comfort,
it's just words.

You know how much I love you.

It's the bank.

I figured you'd say that.
-Because it's them.

Why?
What business the have with you?

They followed me.
-What?

The bank's been following me
for several days now.

Why didn't you say so?
Are you sure?

Yes.

Did you see them? Can you recognize
them? -I didn't see their faces.

Okay, so what did you see?

A car? A motorcycle?
-No, I didn't see anything.

They're pros.

So how do you know?

My dad... He...

arranged for some thug
to protect me.

What?! -I told him to drop it,
told him it's unacceptable.

Unacceptable?! -Okay, I know...
-It's way beyond unacceptable!

Did you involve him in
the investigation? -No.

No.

Not really, I just asked him
if he knew anyone from the bank

because none of us did.
-And?

He didn't either. So I asked
him to snoop around, quietly.

This just keeps getting better...

And?

He has no idea
who's behind this,

but they're obviously
serious criminals,

so he freaked out
and kept me under surveillance.

Lovely.

A murderer serving a life sentence

sends thugs to protect
his daughter, a cop.

If anyone ever taps into this,
your career is over.

Fine.

Thanks to him, I know
that the bank's been following me.

Suppose it's the bank.
What issues they've got with Itay?

I don't know, maybe it's a message.

I don't know.

Alright.

I'll update Eyal.

Anat, I'm sorry,
have to take you off the case.

Okay, but Ermi is mine,
I started this, and I'll end it.

Look, what happened to you
is a serious shock.

Maybe you should... -I'll go crazy
if I stay here another minute.

Alright.

But you update Eyal about everything.

Everything.
-No problem.

And tell your father...

Or...

perhaps it's best
if you said nothing.

Keep your distance from him,
I mean it.

It's a human error, it happens.

A human error

is when you order Coke
and get Pepsi,

not when you kill the boyfriend
of the cop who's investigating you.

Thanks, I didn't know that...

Why were your men
in her apartment, anyway?

Once I exit this car,
you will never see me again.

We were wiring her apartment.

You wired a cop?!

Have you lost your mind?!

Yep, we wired a cop.
They arrested my number 1 black guy,

who was running the 'hood,
he knows things,

I had to know what he told her
about me, about the bank.

The bank is history.
Get your men out of the neighborhood!

I did.

What does the black guy
know about you?

He knows only about the bank.
-Nothing about the arms deal?

Think carefully.
-I told you...

Because if this shit gets out...
-Oh, so now it's shit?

Faro,

we're selling arms to a country
that's committing genocide.

You figure out the consequences. You
did the same deal last year in Burma,

nobody said a word.
-We sold them rifles!

This times we're selling
American Apache assault helicopters.

You wanna be on the CIA's
most wanted list? -Alright, I get it.

I'm telling you, we're covered.

Where's the guy who signed the deal
for you? -At home.

You really are an idiot.

Get him the hell outta here!
-I'm getting him a ticket tomorrow.

No, tomorrow you fly him out!

"Your call is being transferred
to the voice mailbox..."

Doron, you haven't been
returning my calls.

Are you giving me
the silent treatment?

You're just gonna throw away
7 years together...?

Hello.

Call me back, I...

Call me back.

Natalie, right? We met once.

Yes, at the hotel, with MK Regev.

MP Regev, that's right.
-Yep.

Where's Doron Cohen?
-Doron isn't here.

Is he the renter? -Renter?
-Of this shop, leasing it.

No, no, I'm the renter, why?


Look, I represent the
acquisition group

who bought this
building. -Excuse me?

I guess that makes you my tenant.

I don't understand..

Look, your activity
has been fruitful, as they say.

They say soon they're going to deport
the Africans. -They keep saying that.

Yes, but this time
the parliament passed a law,

mostly thanks to you and
your efforts. Chapeau.

Yeah, okay.
-So we're checking

who lives where, who has rent control
and who doesn't.

This entire building is up
for demolition. -What?!

It's up for Evacuation
and Construction.

It's the first I've heard of it.

You can check out the plans.

They've submitted the
request, it's in process.

But I'm leasing the place,
you can't force me out.

We don't intend to, Natalie. We'd
offer you a very nice sum for it.

What are you talking about?!
You've got some nerve!

You sat with me,
donated money to my rallies,

and now you're kicking me out?!

There was a struggle,
I was in favor of,

so were you, and
now that it bore fruit...

Do you have Beyblade?
-Yes, over there.

So?
-Look, Natalie, this is your chance.

We'd give you a very generous sum.
Let's sit down and talk.

What sum?
Give me a ballpark figure.

I don't know...
$20,000-$22,000... maybe a bit more.

You think I'd leave for $22,000?!
-Maybe a bit more.

Do you have
The Excalibur Force Extreme?

Whatever you see there.

But there is none.
-Then I don't.

How much is the Doomscizor?
-Kid, it says the price!

40.
-So 40 shekels.

Natalie, if you want
to take a day or two...

Got anything for 20? -Kid, if
you can't pay for it, go away!

Get outta here, both of you!
Out!

It's a pity, Natalie, think about it.
We own this entire building.

We're also buying the two buildings
next to this one. By next year

this entire street
will be one big pit

with a Bobcat driving back in forth.

Get out!

I'll leave you my card. Contact me,
this is for your own good.

Do you know who did it?

The bank.

You warned me.

I don't envy you,
the way you must feel right now.

On the other hand,
I'm happy it wasn't you.

The guy you sent to watch over me.
-What about him?

I want to talk with him.
-Anat...

I want him to ID the guy from
the bank who followed me.

I can't do that, it's not how it
works. -I want him to look at photos.

Anat, with all the sorrow, I can't.
We follow codes.

Dos and don'ts.

We can't send a guy like that to
a police station to look at photos.

You either send him to my office

within an hour
or you never see me again.

This guy... is long gone.

What happened to him?
-Work-related accident.

Whoa...
he looks totally different.

Aged?
-Acid thrown at his face.

Recognize anyone?
-Sorry.

The guy who was on your tail
isn't here.

Are you sure, or you just don't want
to help me? -No, I want to help you.

Ariye told me to help you,
so I'm here.

Because Ariye said so?
-Yes.

Why?

Because he..

Forget it, I don't wanna know.

You think I fear him?
That we all do?

Yes.

If it were only fear, someone
would've finished him long ago.

So what is it? Respect? Because
he's such a big-shot criminal?

Your father loves all of us.

He sees us as his children.

If it weren't for him,
I'd end up a piece of shit junky.

I'm very sorry about your guy.

Thanks.

Come in!

Hi.

Hi.

My secretary said it's urgent.
-No, it's just...

What is it? Your husband?
-No, no... No.

You said he was arrested.
-They let him go.

Oh, good to hear.
-Yeah, I told you,

it was nothing.
-Oh.

Okay.

We broke up.

Oh.

Yes.

I see.

And it looks like it's final.

But I joined the party,
like you told me to.

Pardon?
-I joined it.

You told me to get people
to vote during the primaries.

Yes, that's right.
-So I did.

I brought 67 people,
we all registered.

Great.

Yep.
-Great.

It doesn't look
that important to you.

What? No, that's great, really...

You said:
"Join me, I'll help you out."

I'll gladly help you out,

but you must understand something.
-What?

I'm about to be appointed minister.

It's been decided,

and will soon
be officially announced.

Congrats.

Thanks.

So?

Minister of Interior.

Okay.

I mean, with you and
your husband being involved

in all kinds of investigations...

Your prime minister is involved
in more investigations than I am.

Sorry, that was out of line.
-I was kidding. Go on.

If you don't trust the people I work
with... -It was a joke, lighten up.

There's no room
for these kinds of jokes,

certainly not by someone
involved in criminal acts.

Should I leave?

Natalie, how may I help you?

Wow, you're such a son of a bitch..

As I said, the terms of this deal are
that Ermi answers all the questions

in full, like we
agreed, and truthfully,

or else the deal is off the table.

My client is aware of the terms,
there's no need to...

Ask away.

Did you kill Michal Poleg?

Yes.

Why?

She found out I was Imman Kabai.

Hagos sent her a WhatsApp message.
-Who's Hagos?

A refugee who's been deported.
What's your connection to him?

He suspected me.
-That you're Gen. Imman Kabai?

Yes.

He WhatsApped her from Narundi.
Before they killed him.

That's why she called me in
the middle of the night,

to ask if it was true.

That was Michal for you.

Acting before thinking.

She shouldn't have called me.

It left me no choice.

So it's her fault that you had to..

Hagos also told her

that I got him deported.

How so?
-When I realized he suspected me,

I went over to the bank and
told them that he ratted them out,

that he knows too much.

And the bank..

How did the bank get
Narundi's Ambassador to Israel

to issue a false document

that some unknown Eritrean refugee
is from Narundi?

Facts are facts.
They told someone in the government,

and that someone
told the Ambassador.

I don't understand.

This bank.

How...?

They're well-connected
with the police and the government.

They have branches
throughout the neighborhood.

where they stash money,

weapons, fake passports,

every kid in the neighborhood knows
that. How did the police overlook it?

You knew the bank is capable
of something like this?

It is capable of anything.

Such as?

Killing.
-Who?

Blacks.
Three blacks.

Did you see them do it?
-Yes.

Why did the bank kill three blacks?
-One owed them money,

one went ballistic at a cafe,
almost beat Andre to death.

Who's Andre?
-He's from the bank,

he's the killer.
-Killer?

That's his job.
-So this Andre killed him?

Yes. A few days later, they
caught him, put him in the car,

and Andre killed him
with his bare hands.

He called me over
to put the body in his bed,

so it looks like he died in bed.

The next morning
they called an ambulance,

but everyone knew
he was killed.

They warned them:

"That's what you get
for messing with the bank."

Didn't they figure out that he
was killed? -Who?

Pathologists,
during the post-mortem analysis.

What analysis?
It's a black guy, dead in his bed.

They just took him
and buried him somewhere.

Analysis... who cares?

And the third victim?
-He was an accident.

What accident?

He had an asthma attack

while they were beating him up,

and died.

Okay, we're gonna need
details and dates... -Okay.

But let's focus on Michal's murder.
-Okay.

But let's focus on Michal's murder.
-Okay,

What did you do
after you killed her?

I took her phone,

deleted the text message
he wrote about me,

and ran.

How does Gabriel fit into all this?
-I wanted to escape

to Arad, to Eilat, wherever,

but Gabriel called me
early that morning,

said he saw Michal dead
and that he ran from there,

but the neighbor saw him
and so he's in hiding,

alone and scared.

I also knew that he needed money
to free his sister.

So I went to the bank
and told them:

"There's this gwy, Gabriel,

"who will be willing to confess
if you give him money."

I want to ask you about Yariv Ninio.

The guy who showed up
at night?

That drunk idiot.

A minute or two after I killed her,

I heard someone knocking the door.

Knocking and yelling

trying to get in.

She left the door unlocked
after I showed up,

so I slammed it in his face

and he fell down the stairs,
crying like a baby.

He cried: "Ouch! My nose!"

And then he left?
-Yes.

"Ouch! My nose!" and...

About the bank.

Where does it keep all the cash?
-The main branch

is in the back room at the cafe.

There's a safe there.
It's on Neve Shaanan street.

There's another safe
inside some old greengrocer's fridge.

There was one in Doron's toy store,

which you've already discovered.
-It was empty.

The bank found out.

They have men everywhere,

they are always
one step ahead of you.

If the banker directs to close down
a branch, it's emptied in 10 minutes.

Who's this banker?
-His name is Boaz.

Boaz?

Boaz Yavin.
-And what does he do?

He's the manager.
He gives the orders.

Well,

I believe he's told you
more than enough, no?

You think I'm a monster,

a murderer.

You don't understand anything.

We don't?
-No.

Where I come from,

it's a jungle.

Whoever kills first, lives.

It's kill or be killed.

I know someone
who came from the same jungle

and he didn't kill anyone.

He almost served a life sentence
because of you.

He's lucky.

Faster, faster.

Sorry, you'll have to speed it up.
-Andre, I'm working as fast as I can.

Perhaps you can help him?
-Excuse me, do I know you?

There's no other choice, Shiri.

How does he know my name?
Who are you?

I give you my word,
it's a 5-star hotel

with a swimming pool, a beach,
a shopping center...

Don't talk to me!
-State-of-th e-a rt.

Shiri... -You too.
Give me that.

I'm sorry, Boaz,
it's just for a few days.

But why my wife and kid?

Just as a precaution, to keep them
safe. -Why wouldn't they be safe?

They'll be fine,
now help her pack.

It's just for a few days.

I think we've got enough stuff.

It's just for a few days.

Enough, let's go.

Boaz Yavin?

Yes. -Police.
You're detained for questioning.

Please come with us.
-What?

We're flying abroad.
-I'm sorry, he has to come with us.

What? You're arresting me?
Am I arrested?

No, you're detained, but I can have
you arrested if you want, no problem.

Get in the car.

Shiomi, sit with him in the back.

I also have a search warrant
to search the house.

Open the door, please.

You can't just barge in. -Yes we can,
we have a search warrant.

Who are you?
-Me? -Yes.

I'm an Uber driver, I was
about to drive them to the airport.

Well, they can't go,
you can leave.

Ma'am, please open the door.
-Wait... -We have a search warrant.

I don't understand...
-Look, don't fight it.

Alright? Let's just go inside
and I'll explain everything.

Yes.

What?

Boaz, listen to me, you don't want

to spend the rest
of your life in prison.

Help me help you.
We've ran a check on you,

we know you don't run the...
-Attorney Yehoshua Borochov.

What good would an attorney do you?

I have a witness who accuses you of
obtaining money under false pretense,

being a member of
a crime organization,

which ties you to
three murders. Three.

How would an attorney help you?
Bail you out of three life sentences?

Reduce it to only two?

I'm the only one
who can help you now.

Attorney Yehoshua Borochov.
-Are you an idiot?

You've got a family, a little girl,

you want her to
grow up without a dad?

You'll all be left with nothing.
I'll freeze your bank account,

your wife and daughter
won't have money to buy food.

Is that what you want?

You're lucky that I'm not after you,
I'm after your boss,

so help yourself out,
and give me his name.

Attorney Yehoshua Borochov.

Look, she's got the Doomscizor!

How much is the Doomscizor?
-I told you, 40, remember?

Can I have it for 35?
-No, kid, it's 40, and that's final.


e don't have enough,
put it back.

Kid...

Come here.

What did you want? This one?

Take it.
-But we don't have enough money.

Forget money, just take it.

Here's one for you, too.

What else is cool here?

That one.
-This one?

Take it.

You too.

What else?

That one.
-This one?

It's expensive.

You've got good taste, huh?

Take it. What does it do?

It's Battle Booster.

Yeah? Is it good?
-Yeah. -Take it.

This too.

Now, go tell all your friends

that we're giving away free gifts,

tell them to come here, okay?

They say I'm a suspect
in three murder cases,

that someone told them I
run the bank. -It's Ermi.

Ermi?

Ermi talked?!
-It's fine, he doesn't know anything.

He knows enough for them
to arrest me in front of my kid.

Boaz, listen to me.
What I'm about to tell you

is the most important thing
you are ever going to hear.

Are you listening?
-Yes, go on.

As far as evidence goes, if
you keep quiet, they've got nothing.

Only the testimony
of a black war criminal,

a mass murderer,
wanted by Interpol.

His word isn't even worth his breath.

What do they have on you?
Evidence? Facts? What?

Money laundering, that's all.

You've received funds
which you didn't declare.

You'd do two years tops.

Two years, not more.

Do that time,

keep quiet, don't say a word,

and we'll look after your family,
make sure they're taken care of.

By the time you're released,
a nice sum will have waited for you,

you'll be set for life.

Keep your mouth shut,

do two years,

and embark on a new life.

You'd be done with us, be the man
of the hour, and never see us again.

Understand?
Tell me you understand.

I don't have to tell you
what the other option is, do I?

It's not his toy, it's mine.
-Oh, it's yours?

Here...

I'll help you carry it.

Bye.

Bye.
-Bye.

I don't want to bother you.

No, no, no, it's okay, it's okay.

Please, come in.

Please, come in.

We...

didn't know what to do, we...

didn't want to...

You know?

I didn't know if someone told you.

Yes, Itay's mother, she was here.
-Oh.

she told us.
-Yes.

Sit, please.

Please, sit.

Thank you.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Itay’s mother,

she knew about us staying here, so...

Oh.

Okay.

She didn't tell you that she told us?

I don't know her,

we haven't met,

we don't..

don't think she knows about me.

Oh...

We thought that you and Itay were...

Yeah, we were, but...

Anat.

Yeah?

am so sorry, really.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Yes, David?

What?!

When?!

Imman Kabai!

What happened? -They were about
to drive him to is remand hearing.

A refugee recognized him and slit his
throat before they could stop him.

Fuck!

Fuck! Fuck!

If your wife
has any special requests,

have her tell you, and you tell me.
Since she's not my client,

no attorney-client privileges would
apply to our communication, so...

What is it?

Our friend, Ermi,

the one you were so worried about...

What about him?

May God avenge his blood.
