Asylum City (2018–2019): Season 1, Episode 12 - Episode #1.12 - full transcript
Anat goes on her last battle with Faro, and she'll use all means.
- 10 years ago -
Where should I put it?
Wherever you think is best.
Are you alright?
-Yes.
We had no choice.
-Nope.
I didn't want it to come to this.
-I know.
I'd never... -No, we all knew from
the start that it could come to this.
Yes.
Come by tonight and take the body.
-Okay.
Come here.
Take this
and return it to me when you're done.
-Okay.
go clean that area.
We work one flight down,
and I've never been up here.
It's been up for rent
for a year now.
Who gave you the key? -I told
the landlord I may have a renter.
That's not a bad idea.
What, the entire floor?
So we have our own, permanent space
that nobody knows about.
If we ever need
to do this again.
Alright, talk with the landlord.
Asylum City
Why am I moving cells?
-It's for your own protection.
Protection? From what?
Protection from what?
Avi... Avi! Avi!
What is it?
-I don't wanna share a cell with him.
Is that so?
-Avi, you can't leave me here.
Would you prefer a room
at the Hilton?
Avi, please, this isn't fair.
-It's not my call.
This weekend he'll be put
in solitary confinement,
but everything's full today.
This weekend?! I'll be stuck
with him until the weekend?!
Avi, I'm on probation!
What's your problem?
What's the matter?
-Nothing's the matter.
We don't know each other,
don't talk to me.
Don't eat at the dining hall.
What? -Don't eat there,
say you're not feeling well.
Why?
Are you playing dumb?
No, I don't get it, why not?
What?
Rumor has it, you turned state
witness against the bank. -What?!
That's the rumor.
-Well, it's not true.
Whatever you say.
-It's not true!
It doesn't matter
if it's true or not,
what matters is what they say.
Everyone.
They said the same thing
about the black guy.
It took them exactly a day and a half
to slaughter him.
I saw it all,
right before my eyes.
What did you see?
-Blood.
Within seconds,
the whole place was a bloodbath.
They have this method
of slitting a throat,
to make it quick,
before the victim can be saved.
They slash the neck,
within 10 seconds you're dead.
You wouldn't believe
the amount of blood.
What's it got to do with me?
I didn't say anything.
Not a thing!
Stat away from the dining hall.
And the showers.
Don't leave the cell.
It's harder for them to reach you
when you're in your cell.
"Israel Police"
Yes.
You asked to see me?
I'm ready to...
I can...
I'm ready to tell you
whatever you need to know.
Okay.
-But I want to turn state witness.
That's could...
possibly be arranged.
Depends on what you give us.
-I can give you all the...
No, wait, sorry,
not state witness,
I meant witness protection.
Excuse me? -I want witness protection
for me and my family, the works -
Relocation, a new identity,
and the same for my wife,
my kid and me,
or I give you nothing.
Witness protection.
It's very complicated.
Did you see what they did to Ermi?
Did you?
I need to be in protection right now.
Do you want the bank
or do you want me killed? You decide.
-Maybe we can arrange it,
depending on what you tell us.
I can tell you
who killed your boyfriend.
You know who killed Itay?
-Yes, because they talked.
It was a mistake,
a terrible mishap, but...
I know who was there.
-Who?
I'm not saying another word
until I get a witness protection deal
for me and my family,
or else they'll kill us.
Give me something to present
to the State Attorney
to convince them that you're worth
a witness protection deal.
Who runs that bank?
Who's their boss? Give me his name,
or I exit this room and leave
your family to fend for itself.
Shimon Faro.
Shimon Faro?
Is he the man who runs th^e bank?
Among other things, yes.
What does thabmean?
It means that he does
far worse things.
Cut a deal with me
and I'll tell you everything.
Where can I find
this Shimon Faro guy?
He runs a security company.
-What security company?
"Faro Security".
Is this it? "Faro Security",
185 Ben Yehuda street?
Why did he kill Itay?
They were trying to wire your place,
and Itay suddenly showed up.
Now do you believe me?
Would I bring him down here
if I didn't?
So what now?
Now you present it to Galit,
and see what she offers him.
What's new on your front?
-Nothing.
No finger prints, no DNA,
no witnesses, nothing.
Aside for him, we've got nothing.
Well...
I'm going upstairs.
Keep up the good work.
How are you holding up?
I'm alright.
Can I ask you something?
-What?
It's... personal,
nothing to do with the investigation.
How...
You don't have to answer,
I'm just asking, because...
-Ask away.
How serious was it?
It... felt very serious.
It's weird how you can know someone
for such a short time,
and to already picture yourselves
growing old together.
So...
I don't know.
I want to tell you something.
What?
When they threw you off the case,
I was kind of...
I didn't defend you.
I was a bit of a shit, I'm sorry.
-It's alright.
Thanks.
So you hear?
Everyone claims that America
beat Hitler.
Why do they think that?
Because of Hollywood.
They've made movies
showing their heroism,
but Hitler's true defeater
is Russia.
The Allies lost 12 million soldiers,
9 million of whom were Russian.
It's indescribable.
Marshal Zhukov,
you listening?
Marshal Zhukov himself
was a genius.
He saved Moscow,
he saved Leningrad,
the Battle of Stalingrad
was considered
the turning point
of the entire war.
Halfa million German soldiers
were killed in it,
but Stalin hated him
because Zhukov was a hero.
Everyone admired him,
he was like a God,
so after the war, he chucked him.
You listening?
-Yeah, I'm listening.
You want a nightcap or...?
Is someone waiting for you at home?
I'm what they call a sworn bachelor,
among other sins.
Where were we?
Oh, right, so after Stalin died,
it was chaos.
Who would take his place?
The strongest runner up
was the head of NKVD,
their secret police,
some scary Georgian guy.
Cheers.
-Cheers!
Beria.
His name was Beria.
Google it, read fbr yourself,
it's all true.
Lavrentiy Beria.
He used to ride his car,
a Mercedes knockoff,
see a girl on the street and tell
his men: "Bring her to me",
rape her right inside the car
and throw her back out to the street.
He did this every day.
Not to mention the..
one million people
killed by the NKVD.
A million people,
so-called political dissidents.
So... you hear?
Khrushchev, who also wanted
to be president, feared Beria
because he had his own army,
so what did he do?
He held a secret meeting at
the Kremlin, with all the ministers,
summoned Beria as well,
and then, in the middle of the
meeting, the doors swing open,
in comes Zhukov,
draws his gun, and...
Bang!
He shoots Beria in the head,
killing him on the spot.
That was that.
And then they praise America...
That goes to show you
that the victor in life
isn't the one who gets featured
in movies or the news.
The victor in life
is the one who comes up from behind
and shoots everyone in the head!
Listen... -I'm not saying a word
until we sign a deal.
Listen to me...
-My family is in danger!
People are after me!
-Boaz, listen to me.
To join
the witness protection program,
I need to know
what you're going to tell us.
Tell me one thing about this Faro guy
that would incriminate him.
He has a secret office.
One floor above his office,
registered under Berkovich Ltd.
-What's Berkovich Ltd.?
It's a gag, he used to be a fan
of Miki Berkovich,
the basketball player.
It's a fictitious office.
-You want us to arrest him
for having a fictitious office?
In the third office down the hall
there's a safe...
with everything inside it.
All the confidential recordings,
all the documents,
everything about the helicopter deal
with Mossad, the lot.
What helicopter deal
with Mossad?
You think the bank is the big deal?
The bank is peanuts.
I signed an arms deal
with Argentina for him.
Me.
And it's not meant for Argentina
at all, it's for Narundi.
Have you heard
the news that Narundi
is about to take in
all of Israel's refugees?
I can tell you
what they're getting in return!
Is that good enough for you?
Police!
Everyone, drop your pens!
Hang up the phone
and step away from the computer.
Whoever touches a computer
goes to jail.
Excuse me?
Hello, how may I help you?
Are you Shimon Faro?
No, he's not here. I'm his attorney,
Yehoshua Borochov, why?
We have a search warrant.
Nobody had better touch anything.
A search warrant
is a search warrant.
Folks,
I have no idea what's going on here,
please cooperate and give the police
whatever they need.
God damn it!
Yaron.
They cleaned up the place, huh?
"To Shimon Faro with great
appreciation for your contribution
"to the IDF and to state security"
Hello.
I'm Shimon Faro, owner of this
company, how may I help you?
Berkovich Ltd., one flight up.
Yes?
Any affiliation to them?
No, why?
Anat.
Anat?
There's nothing there, it's empty.
But there was a safe there, it's been
pulled out from the wall,
it left a mark.
Can you at least tell me
what this is about?
He knew we were coming,
he was prepared.
Find anything on the computers?
-Nothing.
His business is totally legit.
Okay, so...
-You need to help me with Boaz,
he was there all along,
he knows what we need to know.
Which is why
he can turn state witness,
but the witness
protection program...?
It's millions of shekels.
Do you realize
what he'd give us in return?
Don't you understand
what this Faro guy is doing?
This is our only shot.
We're on to him, he knows it,
he'll cover everything up
and bury it,
and we'll have lost
our chance to get him.
You're right, it's just that
we don't have enough evidence.
Witness protection? We do that
when we try to take down a Mafia.
And that bastard isn't a Mafioso?!
He has his own bank!
Organized crime, people we've been
targeting for years,
who hurt civilians, who blow up cars
in the middle of the street.
Itay was a civilian.
Itay was your boyfriend
I'm sorry.
Itay was a person, an ordinary
person who did good deeds,
who actually cared about people.
We've got nothing on Faro,
nothing.
It's the first time
I've even heard his name.
Witness protection means overseas
relocation for his entire family,
giving him a new identity,
a new job.
It's a million dollar investment.
I'll submit the request, okay?
But...
there's no way they'll approve it.
Not with the zero evidence
we've got against Faro.
I told you to fly him outta here.
He was on his way to the airport.
How much does he know?
-He knows everything.
What he doesn't he'll figure out
on his own, he's not an studpid.
We'll take care of it.
-Alright.
Don't do anything,
understood?
Understood.
This is my final warning.
I've had it with you.
In order for it to be effective,
it's got to proceed
in minimum time...
Excuse me.
Alright, let him in.
Guys, sorry to end this meeting,
but we made good progress
and we'll meet again.
Thank'you.
Good luck.
Hello, Mr. Minister of Interior.
Hello, Gidi, how are you?
Have a seat.
Yes?
We have a small problem.
"We", as in Mossad?
"We" as in the state
and the deal we discussed
during the last committee meeting.
Okay.
Given your new position,
I believe you can help.
I'm listening.
What do you want me to tell you?
I've told you everything,
now they know I've talked
and they can retaliate at any moment.
-The place was empty.
Our life is in danger.
So focus, answer my questions
as accurately as you can,
and increase your chances.
-It's hopeless, they'll kill us.
I've got a patrol unit
outside your house,
you're in confinement,
nobody's in danger.
Boaz, tell me about Argentina.
-What do you want to know?
What did you sell them?
Apache assault helicopters.
To whom exactly?
-Allende, Barojo & Fernandez.
What is that? -A law firm,
but they're just the middleman.
From there,
it's delivered to Narundi.
Can you prove any of this?
I saw Narundi's Defense Minister
enter the hotel room
where I signed the deal.
The next day, I read that Narundi
accepted Israel's refugees,
is that a coincidence?
And those documents you signed...
What?
They approved the witness protection
program. -What?!
What is it?
-Are you sure?
Galit just informed me.
-Now? -What is it?
Right now, they're on their way.
They approved for you
the witness protection program.
You said there's no chance...
-That's what I thought.
Somebody decided
you're worth investing in.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Hurry up, you've got one hour.
Pack winter clothes and toys for the
baby, anything that'll comfort her.
I'm taking all computers,
phones and iPads.
You'll give them back once we delete
any sensitive material.
Take a book, a photo,
one or two items you want with you,
but only small things,
and please, hurry.
It's for your own good.
You're in danger.
Are you listening?
Shiri?
Have you seen David? -No.
-Fuck...
David, where are you?
Call me back urgently.
What is it, Anat?
Anat!
I don't understand.
How? Explain this to me.
I don't know.
-A minute ago they said it's hopeless
because we've got nothing on Faro,
and suddenly Boaz gets approved?
A new ID, new country,
all the millions that it costs? How?
What do you care?
They approved it.
Fuck!
-What?
Witness protection...
Who handles the relocation?
The fake passports,
the new identities?
Mossad.
-Exactly.
Mossad has to approve
every such request,
to allocate personnel,
to contact the host country... -S@?
Mossad, as far as we knew,
works with Faro on this arms deal.
According to your suspect, whose
credibility hasn't been verified.
My suspect is scared to death, and
so far, everything he said was true.
Shit.
"Investigations"
Is Yaron in there?
-No, he said he'll be back soon.
Come with me.
Get up, we're leaving.
-Where to?
Switch clothes with him.
-What?
What are you doing?
-Saving your life.
Ricko, listen,
you switch clothes with him,
then stay here and wait
for the witness protection staff
to come and take him.
What do I tell them?
That you got direct orders from me.
But you're not my direct commander.
-Rieko, it's an order from me.
Anyone who has questions,
can turn to me.
Can anyone explain this to me?
We believe Mossad is planning
to make you disappear.
I don't get it,
wasn't I approved for the program?
Yes, too quickly and too smoothly.
What about Yaron?
-I don't trust him. Let's go.
You said Mossad and Faro
are doing business together.
Can you testify to that?
Name names?
Yes, at least one.
Is this the guy?
-No, it's not.
Where's Boaz Yavin?
Anat Sitton took him.
What?! Where to?
I don't know.
"The number you have reached
is unavailable..."
Wait in my office,
I'll be tljere in...
Why aren't you in uniform?
David.
-Turn it off.
Where's your phone?
Pull over by the cell phone shop.
I'll get us new phones
and chuck these.
Get one with a good camera.
-Okay.
Be right back.
Of course.
We'll track him down
and I'll handle Anat Sitton,
I don't worry...
He hung up.
I keep calling every five minutes,
I've left her dozens of messages.
The new Minister of Interior,
Mr. Ehud Regev, hung up on me.
What do you think this says
about my career?
I'll find her, David.
-No you won't.
We won't find her
if she doesn't want to be found,
she's smarter than both of us,
I don't you get it?!
You've worked with her all this time,
and you still don't get it?!
What is this place?
-A place nobody knows about. Sit.
We don't have much time.
Now you tell me everything,
every last thing.
Where are my wife and kid?
They're with
the witness protection unit,
they're safe.
-What? But...
Don't worry,
they're after you, not them.
Boaz, I'm putting
my entire career on the line for you.
Fine, I'll tell you everything.
Dates, names, locations,
whatever you need.
Alright.
Well?
What? -By the time they came to
get him he was already gone.
What do you mean, already gone?
-The bitch took him.
She's hiding him somewhere,
andrtrust me, he's talking.
We'll find them, Gidi will find them.
-He tried.
He has no idea where she is,
she's gone.
He's informed the minister,
the CEO, nada, they're gone! Fuck...
Shuki, this is bad news.
-Relax, we're looking for them,
Gidi's looking forthem,
they'll show up.
What Boaz will tell
them isn't the issue,
so we'll take a hit and stand trial,
a conviction will take ages.
What's the issue then?
-I'm anxious about Gidi's people.
We're the weakest link right now.
Me, specifically.
They won't harm us... -You bet
they will! We're nothing to them.
We did our part, and now we're
in danger. As state witness,
Boaz will recount how Mossad
collaborated with
a crime organization,
every person we whacked,
every body we left behind,
Mossad was in on it,
not to mention the helicopter deal.
If a word gets out...
-Yep.
But if I go,
if they wipe me out,
what happens? Nothing.
The case will be dropped.
No trial, no state witness,
lack of public interest.
They need you.
The arms deal isn't done.
Are you an idiot?!
They'll close it with someone else.
Someone new, fresh.
At this point, wiping us out would
be the easiest solution for them.
God damn it!
Faro.
Faro.
Faro! Where to?!
David. -Where are you?
-In the car.
Where are you hiding him?
-I don't want to tell you yet.
You're insane, totally insane!
Listen! He started talking.
-He'd have done the same here!
No, they would've taken him
and we'd never see him again.
Who?
-Mossad.
Have you completely lost your mind?!
-When you hear what he's told us...
I will, when you bring him back
right now!
Do that, and there's a slim chance
you won't be fired! Maybe!
I'm sorry, I can't do that.
-Excuse me?!
David, he's told us
things about Mossad
which they'll try
to keep under wraps.
I mean, who ever gets approved
for the program in just one hour?!
So?
How long will you be hiding him?
Give me 24 hours. He's telling us
things we had no idea about.
I will arrest Faro, Borochov,
and that Andre guy
who was following me.
I bet he's also the one killed Itay.
Just give me 24 hours
and I'll have them all arrested.
Alright, but I want to hear
exactly what he told you,
and not over the phone.
Come to my office.
So you believe me?
-Possibly.
But if you're right,
I want no phones,
no WhatsApp messages,
nothing.
Tell it to me in person.
Alright, I'll be there in 30 minutes.
Well?
I spoke with David,
he's giving us 24 hours.
Okay.
Are you coming back?
-No, David wants an update
on what we've got so far
but not over the phone,
so I'll hop over. But you keep
getting anything you can out of him.
I'll be back in two hours.
-Okay.
Don't open the door
to anyone but me.
What if it's Mossad?
Might be important. -Very funny.
Hello, Ariye.
Relax, I have no intention
of harming you.
Do you know who I am?
No.
-But you can guess.
You're from the bank.
-I am the bank.
Used to be, more like it.
Your daughter closed down
my business.
Kudos to her.
You bet.
She's a very clever girl.
Very determined.
I'd be very proud
to have a daughter like her.
If you expect me
to have a word with her, it's no use.
She's not the type of daughters
who do as Daddy says.
No, I don't need you
to talk to her.
We're past that stage.
Are you here to threaten me
that you'll kill me
if she doesn't get off your back?
Go ahead, kill me.
I've thought about it,
but it won't do me any good.
I've gotten to know her a bit and...
a threat like that
would only encourage her.
Besides which, you've still got
your men outside, working for you.
I've got no issues with them
nor do I wish to have. -Okay.
I've come to tell you that, sadly,
I've been left with no choice
but to wipe her out.
If that happens, it'll set off
a world war between you and me,
until one of us dies.
-Yes, I know that.
That's why
I don't want that to happen,
and I need you to help me
avoid that.
Me? How?
Your daughter is holding on
to a soldier of mine
who knows a lot of harmful details,
and he's talking.
His name is Boaz Yavin,
an accountant.
I don't need to tell you
that accountants know many secrets.
need him dead.
So kill him, you run
a crime organization, don't you?
It's not that simple.
He's in a secret location.
She abducted him from custody
and hid him
somewhere that nobody knows,
not us, not the police
and not the Secret Service.
Everyone's looking for him.
So what do you want from me?
To find her and kill that guy.
-Me?
Only you can find where she is.
-I'm not so sure.
You'd better be.
I could kill you right now,
it would solve many problems for me.
No, you can't.
The last thing you and I need
is a war.
Find the guy,
finish him,
and we each go our own way.
But make it quick,
before it's too late.
Ariye?
Yes, I'm on her tail all the time,.
Don't worry.
She just walked
into the police station.
Yes, and before that
she was at your late mother's place.
David, you wouldn't believe...
Hello, Chief Inspector Sitton.
-Hello, Mister Minister.
I see you haven't
really followed protocol.
Don't look at him,
it's not his fault.
Are you serious?
But...
Ariye, it's...
Perhaps.
Yes, Ariye, but ills v.ery r-isky.
It's very very risky.
Yes.
Alright, fine.
I said alright, God damn it.
Anat.
-Yes, Sir?
You asked to see me,
Commander Sir?
Anat, sit down.
No. -Anat, sit down and be grateful
that I'm not arresting you.
Allow me.
Allow me.
I heard that the guy is telling you
stories that tie his organization
to all sorts of arms deals,
Mossad, things like that.
Am I correct?
That's why you smuggled him out,
you suspected Mossad
would wipe him out
before he manages
to spill the beans.
Am I right so far?
-Yes.
Anat, think carefully
about your next step.
You promised me 24 hours.
I'm used to you keeping
your promises. -Don't give me that...
You're right. She's right.
She was also right
to smuggle him out.
if he tells stories
that get Mossad in trouble,
it makes sense that they'd try
to do what you suspect.
I don't know how the previous
Minister of Interior handled things,
but I'm giving you full support.
You have my word,
rrobody will come near your witness.
Forget Mossad, forget
the witness protection program.
Nobody comes near him until she
calls to tell me he's done talking.
Is that clear?
Yes.
But I do demand one thing.
What?
That you return him here.
assure you nobody will touch him
It's my first week in office.
I can't afford to sit idly
while a cop abducts a suspect
from the station.
It would mean the end of my term
before it's even begun.
Return him,
and you'll have my full support.
Okay?
Okay.
I don't know how old this coffee is,
but...
it's all I found.
-Thanks.
It's over, he won.
For now, maybe.
-No, it's hopeless.
He's protected. They need him.
-Who's they?
The government, the state.
-Why?
Why?
Because they want to deport
30,000 refugees
and they can't just bluntly put them
on trains and send them away,
so they pick a criminal,
give him a gun and tell him:
"Go cut a deal with some dictator,
"some psycho
that no country wants to mess with,
"do business with him,
and we'll turn a blind eye.
And from that moment on
he's safe,
he can murder people
in broad daylight.
He's untouchable
because they need him.
There are other ways of getting
to him beside your way.
Just say the word.
- Three months later -
Move it!
Get going
We're coming, we're coming, wait.
Hurry up!
Move it!
Hurry up.
-Move along!
Come on, don't stand there.
Sit them down.
Get on the bus already!
Cheers.
Start getting used to it.
I already have.
Where should I put it?
Wherever you think is best.
Are you alright?
-Yes.
We had no choice.
-Nope.
I didn't want it to come to this.
-I know.
I'd never... -No, we all knew from
the start that it could come to this.
Yes.
Come by tonight and take the body.
-Okay.
Come here.
Take this
and return it to me when you're done.
-Okay.
go clean that area.
We work one flight down,
and I've never been up here.
It's been up for rent
for a year now.
Who gave you the key? -I told
the landlord I may have a renter.
That's not a bad idea.
What, the entire floor?
So we have our own, permanent space
that nobody knows about.
If we ever need
to do this again.
Alright, talk with the landlord.
Asylum City
Why am I moving cells?
-It's for your own protection.
Protection? From what?
Protection from what?
Avi... Avi! Avi!
What is it?
-I don't wanna share a cell with him.
Is that so?
-Avi, you can't leave me here.
Would you prefer a room
at the Hilton?
Avi, please, this isn't fair.
-It's not my call.
This weekend he'll be put
in solitary confinement,
but everything's full today.
This weekend?! I'll be stuck
with him until the weekend?!
Avi, I'm on probation!
What's your problem?
What's the matter?
-Nothing's the matter.
We don't know each other,
don't talk to me.
Don't eat at the dining hall.
What? -Don't eat there,
say you're not feeling well.
Why?
Are you playing dumb?
No, I don't get it, why not?
What?
Rumor has it, you turned state
witness against the bank. -What?!
That's the rumor.
-Well, it's not true.
Whatever you say.
-It's not true!
It doesn't matter
if it's true or not,
what matters is what they say.
Everyone.
They said the same thing
about the black guy.
It took them exactly a day and a half
to slaughter him.
I saw it all,
right before my eyes.
What did you see?
-Blood.
Within seconds,
the whole place was a bloodbath.
They have this method
of slitting a throat,
to make it quick,
before the victim can be saved.
They slash the neck,
within 10 seconds you're dead.
You wouldn't believe
the amount of blood.
What's it got to do with me?
I didn't say anything.
Not a thing!
Stat away from the dining hall.
And the showers.
Don't leave the cell.
It's harder for them to reach you
when you're in your cell.
"Israel Police"
Yes.
You asked to see me?
I'm ready to...
I can...
I'm ready to tell you
whatever you need to know.
Okay.
-But I want to turn state witness.
That's could...
possibly be arranged.
Depends on what you give us.
-I can give you all the...
No, wait, sorry,
not state witness,
I meant witness protection.
Excuse me? -I want witness protection
for me and my family, the works -
Relocation, a new identity,
and the same for my wife,
my kid and me,
or I give you nothing.
Witness protection.
It's very complicated.
Did you see what they did to Ermi?
Did you?
I need to be in protection right now.
Do you want the bank
or do you want me killed? You decide.
-Maybe we can arrange it,
depending on what you tell us.
I can tell you
who killed your boyfriend.
You know who killed Itay?
-Yes, because they talked.
It was a mistake,
a terrible mishap, but...
I know who was there.
-Who?
I'm not saying another word
until I get a witness protection deal
for me and my family,
or else they'll kill us.
Give me something to present
to the State Attorney
to convince them that you're worth
a witness protection deal.
Who runs that bank?
Who's their boss? Give me his name,
or I exit this room and leave
your family to fend for itself.
Shimon Faro.
Shimon Faro?
Is he the man who runs th^e bank?
Among other things, yes.
What does thabmean?
It means that he does
far worse things.
Cut a deal with me
and I'll tell you everything.
Where can I find
this Shimon Faro guy?
He runs a security company.
-What security company?
"Faro Security".
Is this it? "Faro Security",
185 Ben Yehuda street?
Why did he kill Itay?
They were trying to wire your place,
and Itay suddenly showed up.
Now do you believe me?
Would I bring him down here
if I didn't?
So what now?
Now you present it to Galit,
and see what she offers him.
What's new on your front?
-Nothing.
No finger prints, no DNA,
no witnesses, nothing.
Aside for him, we've got nothing.
Well...
I'm going upstairs.
Keep up the good work.
How are you holding up?
I'm alright.
Can I ask you something?
-What?
It's... personal,
nothing to do with the investigation.
How...
You don't have to answer,
I'm just asking, because...
-Ask away.
How serious was it?
It... felt very serious.
It's weird how you can know someone
for such a short time,
and to already picture yourselves
growing old together.
So...
I don't know.
I want to tell you something.
What?
When they threw you off the case,
I was kind of...
I didn't defend you.
I was a bit of a shit, I'm sorry.
-It's alright.
Thanks.
So you hear?
Everyone claims that America
beat Hitler.
Why do they think that?
Because of Hollywood.
They've made movies
showing their heroism,
but Hitler's true defeater
is Russia.
The Allies lost 12 million soldiers,
9 million of whom were Russian.
It's indescribable.
Marshal Zhukov,
you listening?
Marshal Zhukov himself
was a genius.
He saved Moscow,
he saved Leningrad,
the Battle of Stalingrad
was considered
the turning point
of the entire war.
Halfa million German soldiers
were killed in it,
but Stalin hated him
because Zhukov was a hero.
Everyone admired him,
he was like a God,
so after the war, he chucked him.
You listening?
-Yeah, I'm listening.
You want a nightcap or...?
Is someone waiting for you at home?
I'm what they call a sworn bachelor,
among other sins.
Where were we?
Oh, right, so after Stalin died,
it was chaos.
Who would take his place?
The strongest runner up
was the head of NKVD,
their secret police,
some scary Georgian guy.
Cheers.
-Cheers!
Beria.
His name was Beria.
Google it, read fbr yourself,
it's all true.
Lavrentiy Beria.
He used to ride his car,
a Mercedes knockoff,
see a girl on the street and tell
his men: "Bring her to me",
rape her right inside the car
and throw her back out to the street.
He did this every day.
Not to mention the..
one million people
killed by the NKVD.
A million people,
so-called political dissidents.
So... you hear?
Khrushchev, who also wanted
to be president, feared Beria
because he had his own army,
so what did he do?
He held a secret meeting at
the Kremlin, with all the ministers,
summoned Beria as well,
and then, in the middle of the
meeting, the doors swing open,
in comes Zhukov,
draws his gun, and...
Bang!
He shoots Beria in the head,
killing him on the spot.
That was that.
And then they praise America...
That goes to show you
that the victor in life
isn't the one who gets featured
in movies or the news.
The victor in life
is the one who comes up from behind
and shoots everyone in the head!
Listen... -I'm not saying a word
until we sign a deal.
Listen to me...
-My family is in danger!
People are after me!
-Boaz, listen to me.
To join
the witness protection program,
I need to know
what you're going to tell us.
Tell me one thing about this Faro guy
that would incriminate him.
He has a secret office.
One floor above his office,
registered under Berkovich Ltd.
-What's Berkovich Ltd.?
It's a gag, he used to be a fan
of Miki Berkovich,
the basketball player.
It's a fictitious office.
-You want us to arrest him
for having a fictitious office?
In the third office down the hall
there's a safe...
with everything inside it.
All the confidential recordings,
all the documents,
everything about the helicopter deal
with Mossad, the lot.
What helicopter deal
with Mossad?
You think the bank is the big deal?
The bank is peanuts.
I signed an arms deal
with Argentina for him.
Me.
And it's not meant for Argentina
at all, it's for Narundi.
Have you heard
the news that Narundi
is about to take in
all of Israel's refugees?
I can tell you
what they're getting in return!
Is that good enough for you?
Police!
Everyone, drop your pens!
Hang up the phone
and step away from the computer.
Whoever touches a computer
goes to jail.
Excuse me?
Hello, how may I help you?
Are you Shimon Faro?
No, he's not here. I'm his attorney,
Yehoshua Borochov, why?
We have a search warrant.
Nobody had better touch anything.
A search warrant
is a search warrant.
Folks,
I have no idea what's going on here,
please cooperate and give the police
whatever they need.
God damn it!
Yaron.
They cleaned up the place, huh?
"To Shimon Faro with great
appreciation for your contribution
"to the IDF and to state security"
Hello.
I'm Shimon Faro, owner of this
company, how may I help you?
Berkovich Ltd., one flight up.
Yes?
Any affiliation to them?
No, why?
Anat.
Anat?
There's nothing there, it's empty.
But there was a safe there, it's been
pulled out from the wall,
it left a mark.
Can you at least tell me
what this is about?
He knew we were coming,
he was prepared.
Find anything on the computers?
-Nothing.
His business is totally legit.
Okay, so...
-You need to help me with Boaz,
he was there all along,
he knows what we need to know.
Which is why
he can turn state witness,
but the witness
protection program...?
It's millions of shekels.
Do you realize
what he'd give us in return?
Don't you understand
what this Faro guy is doing?
This is our only shot.
We're on to him, he knows it,
he'll cover everything up
and bury it,
and we'll have lost
our chance to get him.
You're right, it's just that
we don't have enough evidence.
Witness protection? We do that
when we try to take down a Mafia.
And that bastard isn't a Mafioso?!
He has his own bank!
Organized crime, people we've been
targeting for years,
who hurt civilians, who blow up cars
in the middle of the street.
Itay was a civilian.
Itay was your boyfriend
I'm sorry.
Itay was a person, an ordinary
person who did good deeds,
who actually cared about people.
We've got nothing on Faro,
nothing.
It's the first time
I've even heard his name.
Witness protection means overseas
relocation for his entire family,
giving him a new identity,
a new job.
It's a million dollar investment.
I'll submit the request, okay?
But...
there's no way they'll approve it.
Not with the zero evidence
we've got against Faro.
I told you to fly him outta here.
He was on his way to the airport.
How much does he know?
-He knows everything.
What he doesn't he'll figure out
on his own, he's not an studpid.
We'll take care of it.
-Alright.
Don't do anything,
understood?
Understood.
This is my final warning.
I've had it with you.
In order for it to be effective,
it's got to proceed
in minimum time...
Excuse me.
Alright, let him in.
Guys, sorry to end this meeting,
but we made good progress
and we'll meet again.
Thank'you.
Good luck.
Hello, Mr. Minister of Interior.
Hello, Gidi, how are you?
Have a seat.
Yes?
We have a small problem.
"We", as in Mossad?
"We" as in the state
and the deal we discussed
during the last committee meeting.
Okay.
Given your new position,
I believe you can help.
I'm listening.
What do you want me to tell you?
I've told you everything,
now they know I've talked
and they can retaliate at any moment.
-The place was empty.
Our life is in danger.
So focus, answer my questions
as accurately as you can,
and increase your chances.
-It's hopeless, they'll kill us.
I've got a patrol unit
outside your house,
you're in confinement,
nobody's in danger.
Boaz, tell me about Argentina.
-What do you want to know?
What did you sell them?
Apache assault helicopters.
To whom exactly?
-Allende, Barojo & Fernandez.
What is that? -A law firm,
but they're just the middleman.
From there,
it's delivered to Narundi.
Can you prove any of this?
I saw Narundi's Defense Minister
enter the hotel room
where I signed the deal.
The next day, I read that Narundi
accepted Israel's refugees,
is that a coincidence?
And those documents you signed...
What?
They approved the witness protection
program. -What?!
What is it?
-Are you sure?
Galit just informed me.
-Now? -What is it?
Right now, they're on their way.
They approved for you
the witness protection program.
You said there's no chance...
-That's what I thought.
Somebody decided
you're worth investing in.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Hurry up, you've got one hour.
Pack winter clothes and toys for the
baby, anything that'll comfort her.
I'm taking all computers,
phones and iPads.
You'll give them back once we delete
any sensitive material.
Take a book, a photo,
one or two items you want with you,
but only small things,
and please, hurry.
It's for your own good.
You're in danger.
Are you listening?
Shiri?
Have you seen David? -No.
-Fuck...
David, where are you?
Call me back urgently.
What is it, Anat?
Anat!
I don't understand.
How? Explain this to me.
I don't know.
-A minute ago they said it's hopeless
because we've got nothing on Faro,
and suddenly Boaz gets approved?
A new ID, new country,
all the millions that it costs? How?
What do you care?
They approved it.
Fuck!
-What?
Witness protection...
Who handles the relocation?
The fake passports,
the new identities?
Mossad.
-Exactly.
Mossad has to approve
every such request,
to allocate personnel,
to contact the host country... -S@?
Mossad, as far as we knew,
works with Faro on this arms deal.
According to your suspect, whose
credibility hasn't been verified.
My suspect is scared to death, and
so far, everything he said was true.
Shit.
"Investigations"
Is Yaron in there?
-No, he said he'll be back soon.
Come with me.
Get up, we're leaving.
-Where to?
Switch clothes with him.
-What?
What are you doing?
-Saving your life.
Ricko, listen,
you switch clothes with him,
then stay here and wait
for the witness protection staff
to come and take him.
What do I tell them?
That you got direct orders from me.
But you're not my direct commander.
-Rieko, it's an order from me.
Anyone who has questions,
can turn to me.
Can anyone explain this to me?
We believe Mossad is planning
to make you disappear.
I don't get it,
wasn't I approved for the program?
Yes, too quickly and too smoothly.
What about Yaron?
-I don't trust him. Let's go.
You said Mossad and Faro
are doing business together.
Can you testify to that?
Name names?
Yes, at least one.
Is this the guy?
-No, it's not.
Where's Boaz Yavin?
Anat Sitton took him.
What?! Where to?
I don't know.
"The number you have reached
is unavailable..."
Wait in my office,
I'll be tljere in...
Why aren't you in uniform?
David.
-Turn it off.
Where's your phone?
Pull over by the cell phone shop.
I'll get us new phones
and chuck these.
Get one with a good camera.
-Okay.
Be right back.
Of course.
We'll track him down
and I'll handle Anat Sitton,
I don't worry...
He hung up.
I keep calling every five minutes,
I've left her dozens of messages.
The new Minister of Interior,
Mr. Ehud Regev, hung up on me.
What do you think this says
about my career?
I'll find her, David.
-No you won't.
We won't find her
if she doesn't want to be found,
she's smarter than both of us,
I don't you get it?!
You've worked with her all this time,
and you still don't get it?!
What is this place?
-A place nobody knows about. Sit.
We don't have much time.
Now you tell me everything,
every last thing.
Where are my wife and kid?
They're with
the witness protection unit,
they're safe.
-What? But...
Don't worry,
they're after you, not them.
Boaz, I'm putting
my entire career on the line for you.
Fine, I'll tell you everything.
Dates, names, locations,
whatever you need.
Alright.
Well?
What? -By the time they came to
get him he was already gone.
What do you mean, already gone?
-The bitch took him.
She's hiding him somewhere,
andrtrust me, he's talking.
We'll find them, Gidi will find them.
-He tried.
He has no idea where she is,
she's gone.
He's informed the minister,
the CEO, nada, they're gone! Fuck...
Shuki, this is bad news.
-Relax, we're looking for them,
Gidi's looking forthem,
they'll show up.
What Boaz will tell
them isn't the issue,
so we'll take a hit and stand trial,
a conviction will take ages.
What's the issue then?
-I'm anxious about Gidi's people.
We're the weakest link right now.
Me, specifically.
They won't harm us... -You bet
they will! We're nothing to them.
We did our part, and now we're
in danger. As state witness,
Boaz will recount how Mossad
collaborated with
a crime organization,
every person we whacked,
every body we left behind,
Mossad was in on it,
not to mention the helicopter deal.
If a word gets out...
-Yep.
But if I go,
if they wipe me out,
what happens? Nothing.
The case will be dropped.
No trial, no state witness,
lack of public interest.
They need you.
The arms deal isn't done.
Are you an idiot?!
They'll close it with someone else.
Someone new, fresh.
At this point, wiping us out would
be the easiest solution for them.
God damn it!
Faro.
Faro.
Faro! Where to?!
David. -Where are you?
-In the car.
Where are you hiding him?
-I don't want to tell you yet.
You're insane, totally insane!
Listen! He started talking.
-He'd have done the same here!
No, they would've taken him
and we'd never see him again.
Who?
-Mossad.
Have you completely lost your mind?!
-When you hear what he's told us...
I will, when you bring him back
right now!
Do that, and there's a slim chance
you won't be fired! Maybe!
I'm sorry, I can't do that.
-Excuse me?!
David, he's told us
things about Mossad
which they'll try
to keep under wraps.
I mean, who ever gets approved
for the program in just one hour?!
So?
How long will you be hiding him?
Give me 24 hours. He's telling us
things we had no idea about.
I will arrest Faro, Borochov,
and that Andre guy
who was following me.
I bet he's also the one killed Itay.
Just give me 24 hours
and I'll have them all arrested.
Alright, but I want to hear
exactly what he told you,
and not over the phone.
Come to my office.
So you believe me?
-Possibly.
But if you're right,
I want no phones,
no WhatsApp messages,
nothing.
Tell it to me in person.
Alright, I'll be there in 30 minutes.
Well?
I spoke with David,
he's giving us 24 hours.
Okay.
Are you coming back?
-No, David wants an update
on what we've got so far
but not over the phone,
so I'll hop over. But you keep
getting anything you can out of him.
I'll be back in two hours.
-Okay.
Don't open the door
to anyone but me.
What if it's Mossad?
Might be important. -Very funny.
Hello, Ariye.
Relax, I have no intention
of harming you.
Do you know who I am?
No.
-But you can guess.
You're from the bank.
-I am the bank.
Used to be, more like it.
Your daughter closed down
my business.
Kudos to her.
You bet.
She's a very clever girl.
Very determined.
I'd be very proud
to have a daughter like her.
If you expect me
to have a word with her, it's no use.
She's not the type of daughters
who do as Daddy says.
No, I don't need you
to talk to her.
We're past that stage.
Are you here to threaten me
that you'll kill me
if she doesn't get off your back?
Go ahead, kill me.
I've thought about it,
but it won't do me any good.
I've gotten to know her a bit and...
a threat like that
would only encourage her.
Besides which, you've still got
your men outside, working for you.
I've got no issues with them
nor do I wish to have. -Okay.
I've come to tell you that, sadly,
I've been left with no choice
but to wipe her out.
If that happens, it'll set off
a world war between you and me,
until one of us dies.
-Yes, I know that.
That's why
I don't want that to happen,
and I need you to help me
avoid that.
Me? How?
Your daughter is holding on
to a soldier of mine
who knows a lot of harmful details,
and he's talking.
His name is Boaz Yavin,
an accountant.
I don't need to tell you
that accountants know many secrets.
need him dead.
So kill him, you run
a crime organization, don't you?
It's not that simple.
He's in a secret location.
She abducted him from custody
and hid him
somewhere that nobody knows,
not us, not the police
and not the Secret Service.
Everyone's looking for him.
So what do you want from me?
To find her and kill that guy.
-Me?
Only you can find where she is.
-I'm not so sure.
You'd better be.
I could kill you right now,
it would solve many problems for me.
No, you can't.
The last thing you and I need
is a war.
Find the guy,
finish him,
and we each go our own way.
But make it quick,
before it's too late.
Ariye?
Yes, I'm on her tail all the time,.
Don't worry.
She just walked
into the police station.
Yes, and before that
she was at your late mother's place.
David, you wouldn't believe...
Hello, Chief Inspector Sitton.
-Hello, Mister Minister.
I see you haven't
really followed protocol.
Don't look at him,
it's not his fault.
Are you serious?
But...
Ariye, it's...
Perhaps.
Yes, Ariye, but ills v.ery r-isky.
It's very very risky.
Yes.
Alright, fine.
I said alright, God damn it.
Anat.
-Yes, Sir?
You asked to see me,
Commander Sir?
Anat, sit down.
No. -Anat, sit down and be grateful
that I'm not arresting you.
Allow me.
Allow me.
I heard that the guy is telling you
stories that tie his organization
to all sorts of arms deals,
Mossad, things like that.
Am I correct?
That's why you smuggled him out,
you suspected Mossad
would wipe him out
before he manages
to spill the beans.
Am I right so far?
-Yes.
Anat, think carefully
about your next step.
You promised me 24 hours.
I'm used to you keeping
your promises. -Don't give me that...
You're right. She's right.
She was also right
to smuggle him out.
if he tells stories
that get Mossad in trouble,
it makes sense that they'd try
to do what you suspect.
I don't know how the previous
Minister of Interior handled things,
but I'm giving you full support.
You have my word,
rrobody will come near your witness.
Forget Mossad, forget
the witness protection program.
Nobody comes near him until she
calls to tell me he's done talking.
Is that clear?
Yes.
But I do demand one thing.
What?
That you return him here.
assure you nobody will touch him
It's my first week in office.
I can't afford to sit idly
while a cop abducts a suspect
from the station.
It would mean the end of my term
before it's even begun.
Return him,
and you'll have my full support.
Okay?
Okay.
I don't know how old this coffee is,
but...
it's all I found.
-Thanks.
It's over, he won.
For now, maybe.
-No, it's hopeless.
He's protected. They need him.
-Who's they?
The government, the state.
-Why?
Why?
Because they want to deport
30,000 refugees
and they can't just bluntly put them
on trains and send them away,
so they pick a criminal,
give him a gun and tell him:
"Go cut a deal with some dictator,
"some psycho
that no country wants to mess with,
"do business with him,
and we'll turn a blind eye.
And from that moment on
he's safe,
he can murder people
in broad daylight.
He's untouchable
because they need him.
There are other ways of getting
to him beside your way.
Just say the word.
- Three months later -
Move it!
Get going
We're coming, we're coming, wait.
Hurry up!
Move it!
Hurry up.
-Move along!
Come on, don't stand there.
Sit them down.
Get on the bus already!
Cheers.
Start getting used to it.
I already have.
