Downtown Precinct (2011–2015): Season 2, Episode 4 - Episode #2.4 - full transcript

We know who the contractor's partner
is in the murder case.

Sheinberg,
the Deputy Housing Minister?

I'm involved in lots of businesses
since my days in the private market.

Let's make this clear.
You're not all ganging up on him.

You're not bringing him in
for interrogation.

I know exactly who you are,
Inspector Arbel and I'm not worried at all.

I can recommend to hand over
a file sitting here on my desk,

something connected to Babayof.

One corrupt cop
who works for the Mafia

means a corrupt country.
-Good luck.

That Arik guy. Is he married? -He's
a problematic character. Believe me.



I actually like that type.

Don't get too excited.

Anatoly, how are you?

Who's the girl with you
at the ice-skating rink?

Looked to me like she's a cop.

10.000 Euros
and the pictures disappear.

Did they already notify you about
the transfer to Tel Aviv? -Not yet.

I'm sure you don't want to return
to Jerusalem. -I hear you.

He's vulnerable now.
This is your chance.

You have a lot of secrets, huh?
-Everyone does, no?

Jeremy, where are you?
-I'm on 3771, almost at the junction.

They called from the kibbutz.
They saw shadows by the fence.

It's probably Avi Rajuan again.
-I'm on my way.

Who's there?



I'm the reserves warden.
Who's there?

They're shooting at me.
They're shooting at me those bastards.

Your brother, Nimrod, never came back
to prison after his leave.

He's been gone for three days.
What do you know about it?

He never kept in touch with me,
my brother. -Really? -Yes.

So why don't I believe you? -You think
I don't know my brother is trouble?

We grew up together.
-I thought he went to a dorm.

Yes, he went to a dorm because
my parents couldn't stand him.

Before or after he stabbed a teacher?

The teacher was in the dorm.

And you don't know where
he's been since?

I told you already.
You don't give up, do you?

Why don't you believe me? -Because
I saw the calls on your mobile, Hadas.

He called you after he disappeared.

Okay. So he spoke to me
for a few minutes. -Where is he?

I don't know. I told you already.
-Hadas, I'm talking about a guy

who beat someone to death,
who is suspected of assault in prison

who's been wandering around for
a few days. No one knows where he is.

If he attacks anyone and you know
where he is, you are an accomplice.

But I don't know where he is.
I swear. -I don't believe you.

So do you think you'll like being in prison
when your crazy brother attacks someone?

Do you think I'll be nice to you?

But I don't know where he is.
I swear. -Why are you crying?

Tell me where he is
and we'll get this over with already.

Do you want to spend
a few days behind bars? Hadas.

Hadas, stop playing games
and tell me where he is.

Are you all right?

Stop the acting.

She can sue us, you know.
-I didn't know she was asthmatic.

Where were you? -I came in
just when she started choking.

When are you going to the ceremony?
-In an hour. -In Jerusalem? -Yes.

Congratulations. -Thanks.

Hello.
-Is this Inspector Arik Arbel? -Yes.

You're working on the Sheinberg case,
aren't you? -Yes. Who is this?

It's someone who once worked with
Sheinberg. I know what's going on.

Do you want to meet? -You have
no idea who you're up against,

someone who can appoint
and fire your commanders,

someone who controls the system,
who knows your family.

We know that.
-You don't know anything.

So come and tell me.
-I'll think about it.

You're disguising your voice.
How do I know that you're real?

Don't worry about that.
-Prove to me that you know something.

Hello. Hello?

Is everything all right? -Yes, yes.
-Why do you look like that?

Girl problems?
-You getting married today, Ezra?

Superintendent Ezra Simantov, to you.
-Wow! It's today? -In two hours.

With pastries and everything?

What about the guy who ran away,
Nimrod? -You're coming with me.

Nimrod Rajuan's brother
is a hunter up north.

No way. I still have a load of
stuff to file about Adoniya's case.

Good luck. Take your hiking boots.
-What?

I heard you're going
to a B&B with Lital.

A B&B? I'm chasing a troublemaker
who fled to his brother in the Galilee.

You sure have an imagination.
-Did you pack a bathing suit?

What do you want, huh?
It's your friend, Ezra

who sent me instead
because he's getting his ranks today.

See him? Like a bar-mitzvah boy.
-You know how long he's waited?

I know. He's enjoying every minute.
-So let him enjoy it. Why not?

So you are going to spend
the night there? -I don't think so.

Why? Was it her idea?

Lital Ben Zion, who's this?
-What's new, Lital? -It's you.

What do you want?
-Do you have anything for me?

Are you going to call me all week long?
I once had a roommate like that.

She left me with the electric bill.
-What can you tell me?

He told me how they almost pushed
a suspect off the roof till he talked.

Good enough for you? -Not really.
I want the story about Babayof.

Doesn't it bother you
that you are bringing down a cop

who is currently investigating
a case of corruption?

Are you making progress
or has it stopped all of a sudden?

It's a complicated investigation.
-You're stuck, huh? Surprising.

Well, do you think it's possible
to investigate corruption

when you're corrupt too?
-You don't know that for sure.

I know it and if you prove
I'm wrong, we'll all be glad.

I don't think you'll be glad.
-You're in love, aren't you Lital?

I'm the one people fall in love with.
-Good. So if you don't want to return

to Jerusalem, and you really
want a promotion... -I hear you.

You think I don't know
what went on over there?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Two cops killed an illegal resident.
You came out the hero. -What?

You decided not to keep quiet.

They kicked them out of the force
and rumors spread in the unit

but no one knew you spoke out,
that you ratted them out.

I understand you. Totally.
I'm like that, too.

They just killed a guy. The bastards.
But if anyone ever finds out,

no one will ever want to work with you.
I can keep a lock on it.

We didn't kill him. -You left him
wounded in the field. He died.

You know that pretty well.
Remember, I'm in Internal Affairs.

No wonder you want to start fresh
in Tel Aviv.

It would be a shame to return to
Jerusalem if they find out you talked.

Your career would be ruined.
-Well, I have to go. I have things to do.

I'm counting on you.

Happy hunting. -Thanks.

We said we wouldn't...

Okay.
-Fine. Watch out for snakes.

Everything will be fine.

And female snakes.

Hunters laugh at us. They attack
wardens like me. They shoot at us.

Are you serious? -I'm telling you
it's like the wild west over here.

Do you know them?
-The Rajuan brothers?

We see them sometimes.

I heard Nimrod was
in all sorts of institutions.

Are you sure they're together?
There are rumors they fought.

We picked up on a phone call.
-I see.

So, it's hunting season.
So they're out in the field.

Damn it. -What was that?

Oh, God.

Look at that.
-Do you have a spare?

The two front ones are gone.
It's the hunters.

They set traps
so we can't reach them.

Are you calling for help?

What kind of help?
Do you think we're in Tel Aviv?

The closest warden is an hour away.
-Aren't you calling it in?

Well, we aren't really
so far away.

There's a concrete building
about two miles away.

The hunters use it sometimes.
I think we should hike over there.

Shouldn't we wait? -The sun is going
down and the day will be over.

If they laid down spikes,
then they're here.

In any case,
you can't reach the hut by car.

So let's go. Put something warm on.

So what is Nimrod's story?

He beat someone up in a bar in Tel Aviv
two years ago.

The poor guy is disabled for life.

So what's he doing on the outside?
-He behaved in prison and got leave.

I didn't know it worked like that.
-Yes.

Did you talk to his family?
-Yes. With his sister.

She almost died during our questioning.
-Not true.

She's asthmatic. No one ever collapsed
on you during an interrogation?

2 suicide attempts, and one vomited.
-No one was sick for me. -You're still young.

So Ezra gave you trouble
by Berkovitz?

Yes. He's a tough one, isn't he?
-Yes. Like a Bible school teacher.

He's really like that.
You don't like him, do you?

Let's just say we have
different work methods.

Alex works with him a lot, right?
-Sometimes.

So what's going on between you two?
-Who? -You and Alex.

What's the difference?
-Stop talking. You're like two old ladies.

We're out in nature now.
Do you want to be surprised? -You asked.

Okay. I don't really blame you.

You're always around
beautiful lady cops.

The most I get to do is fuck
with a mountain goat or something.

Jeremy.

What was that?

It's a message. -For who?
-For me. For us.

Fresh blood. Maybe 2 hours.
-You're not going to take it down?

Maybe you want me to say
the prayer for the dead too?

It's a message from them:
This is our forest.

We'll kill whatever we want.

How far away is that building
you talked about? -A few minutes.

Won't they be waiting for us there?
-Are you nervous?

I think it's pretty stupid
to go there now, no?

They never killed a warden.
They wouldn't dare.

But now, we're looking for an escaped prisoner
and his brother, who's probably armed.

We can go back if you want.
-If he shoots at us, he's dead.

Just a few minutes away, right?

They were here in the last few hours.

Hey, no flashlights.
We don't want them to see us.

Where is Arik? Still up north?
-Yes.

Congrats on the promotion.
-Thanks.

Celebrating with the family?
-Yes. Something like that.

Are you okay?

Tell me. Does Arik talk about
the Sheinberg case? -No, not really.

He didn't say if there was
a phone call, a witness or something?

No. He doesn't really share.
-Okay, fine.

Does Arik make trouble for you?
-He doesn't help.

Sorry.
-It's not your fault.

I think the game between you two
is going to end soon. -What?

Berkovitz knows about you.

I think he's going to kick you out...

and transfer you somewhere boring.
-Is that what he told you?

I heard him talking.
-Why would he do that?

I don't know.
He's going to use your relationship

with Arik against you.
-That's not fair.

You have to think if it's worth it.
Maybe it's just a fling.

He knows how to play the girls, Arik.
You have to be careful.

Too bad you'll have to leave the unit
for that. You're a good investigator.

It could screw up your whole career.
-I'm a big girl.

Okay, I just... okay.
I just wanted to help. -Fine.

Congrats on the promotion. -Thanks.

The hunters stop here sometimes
or store their stuff here.

We better not surprise them now.

Rajuan!

Rajuan!

I thought that... -They already know
that we're here, huh?

Rajuan!

Reserves warden.

Anybody home?

Well, they're not here. -Wait.
Don't you want to go inside?

No reason.

Stay here.

Are you all right in there? -Yes.

They left us a message.
-What? -We can see you.

Okay. Who knows when they wrote that.
-Well, what do you suggest?

The only thing to do is to go back.
-In the dark? -I know the way.

Are you sure?
-Unless you'd rather sleep out here.

It will be all right.

That was a royal waste of time.
-That's okay, a vacation up north.

You know? This reminds me
of when I was a kid.

We'd go into the fields at night
and do crazy stuff. -So you're used to this?

Later on, when we got older,
we'd take girls with us, bring alcohol, music.

In Jerusalem,
we'd do stupid things like that too.

Really? Lital, are you telling me
that you were a wild one?

No. I'm Daddy's good little girl.
-I don't believe you. -It's true.

What was that? -Hunters.
-What are you doing?

Do you want them to shoot us by
mistake? -Or not. -Reserves warden.

Damn it! Reserves warden. Stop!
-Jeremey, stop. Jeremy.

Are you all right?
-Where is he running, that crazy guy? -Jeremy.

Jeremy. -Jeremy. -Jeremy!
Where are you?

I'm here. I sprained my foot.
-Can you get up? -Help me.

Give me your hand. Give me your hand.
Give it to me. Pull!

Just a second. Just a second.
My leg is stuck. Just a second.

Shit. What is that?

What is that? -Shit. It's a body.
-Get me out of here. Get me out!

Hold on. Come here.
Pull, pull, pull.

It looks like Nimrod's clothing.
-Can we get out of here

and discuss the investigation later?
I don't want to become

another cadaver on the list.
Come on. Come on, Jeremy.

Be careful, Lital.

Seems our hunters are also killers.
-Are you telling me

that Avi killed his brother?
-It doesn't look like suicide.

Well, I'm telling you those brothers
were not really buddies.

What are you saying? Nimrod ran
away from prison and got murdered?

Just a second. I need to...
-Sit down.

Damn it.

Do you have reception?

No. -Climb up the hill.
It's better up there.

Are you sure?
-Yes, yes.

I'm not going anywhere.
Go on up.

So if they fought,
why did Nimrod come here?

It doesn't make sense.
-Anything's possible.

Hey, I see something. -It's a car.
-Let wave them down. -Wait.

What if it's the murderers?
Turn that off.

Keep your head down.

So this is how it was with the girls
from the Moshav? -Exactly.

Only with music.

Who was that?
-The number ended in 8018.

Do you have reception?
-Yes.

Hi, Sergei.

Don't move.

Of course. You can kill me.

But it's too late.

All the photos of you
and your daughter from the police

are all in the computer.

In this computer?

There's another one.

I'll take the chance. -What?
That makes no sense...

In any case there's another one...

Hello.

Good morning.

What's new? -What's new with you?
-Don't ask.

They evacuated Jeremy by helicopter.
-And where's the body?

Disappeared.
-What?

Gone. Disappeared. After we dragged
Jeremy up the hill with us,

and evacuated him by helicopter,
the body disappeared.

They probably returned to the scene
and took it. -Who? -Two hunters.

Probably Avi Rajuan and another.
-Did they open a murder investigation?

Yes, the local unit gathered
evidence from the scene in the forest.

So why are you still there?

Don't worry. We'll be back soon. -Okay.
Let me know what happens. -Okay.

Good morning. -Hi.
-Any coffee? -Yeah, by the jacuzzi.

Too bad. I didn't bring
a bathing suit. -No need.

I need to pee. Keep watch so no one peeks?
-That's why I'm here.

What's that?
-They found it yesterday.

The body was destroyed with acid.
Very thorough job.

The pendant is the only thing
left on the body.

We still don't know whose it is.

Is everything all right? -What?

Everything all right?
-Yes. No.

Shocking.
-Yeah, right.

Hello. -I understand the thing
with Sergei is over.

What thing? -The guy who saw us
at the ice rink.

What about him? -He had a pendant
shaped like an "S" on his clothes.

They found this on his body.

What do you want to know exactly?
-Don't lie to me. I'm not a child.

You are if you don't understand
what this is about.

They'll catch you, you realize that.
-If you're so worried about me, stop them.

It's your unit, isn't it?
-I thought you wanted me to leave the unit?

If you haven't noticed, I've given up
trying to telling you what to do.

Otherwise I would have
told you to help me out.

I'm not going to do that.

He knew about us and wanted to
blackmail me. You have to understand.

So you killed him?

He fell.

It's not just you.

You know that if they figure it out,
then I'm an accomplice, too?

You have to understand that I didn't
have a choice.

If it bothers you, make it disappear.
-I can't do that. Ever.

Hello.

Hello?

Remember me? -Yes.
-I have something for you.

You can't tell anyone
that you spoke to me.

Shmuel Sheinberg knows everything
that's going on in his investigation.

He has people everywhere.
He knows everything.

Okay. So what do you want to do?

I'm willing to point you in the right
direction.

What?
-Not on the phone.

Hello?

Change of place. -What?

Go up to the public bathroom,
second floor.

Go into the stall and wait.
Don't go out. -Why aren't you here?

Hello.

Arbel? -Yes.
-Don't open the door.

You already told me that
on the phone.

People are afraid they'll fall
together with Sheinberg.

You're not really helping me.
-Did you look for the money?

We found his money.
-You didn't find anything.

Sheinberg isn't stupid.
It's not his money. It's all in foundations.

You have a long way to go.
I hope you will survive.

These people aren't afraid.
They're not afraid of hurting you.

What's that in your hand?

I'm not the one you should be worried
about. Worry about them.

What's in your hand?
-Remember. You didn't talk to me.

Don't follow me.
-What's in your hand? -This.

Good morning. -To you, too!
-What's new?

The police in the north
are still looking for Avi Rajuan.

And the body of his brother, Nimrod?
-No, nothing yet.

They also found plane tickets
on Avi's computer.

Looks like he packed up
and left the country.

So Nimrod ran away from prison
to be murdered by his own brother.

Fantastic family.

Did anyone call you regarding
the Sheinberg investigation?

What do you mean? -A source
who asked to remain confidential.

There were a few sources.
At least three were of importance.

But you knew who they were. No one
asked to remain anonymous. -No.

A source approached me, demanded
confidentiality. -To you? -Yes.

He didn't identify himself?
-He altered his voice.

Why you?
-I don't know.

He told me he used
to work for Sheinberg.

He wanted to talk
but he was scared.

It could be a million people.
-Don't tell this to anyone.

Not even to Berkovitz?
-He told me they'll try and frame

anyone involved in the investigation.

Okay. So what did he give you?
-Not much.

He told me to focus
on the foundations for the time being.

You don't know anything about this,
do you? -No.

Okay. Let's keep it just
between us meanwhile

until we see where it's going.

Let's hope it's not a stunt
by Sheinberg to lead us off the track.

That's a fourth source.

-Let's call him D from Housing.
-Funny.

Between us, okay? -I'll look into
the foundations but it will take time.

I can trust you, can't I?
-Of course.

Where are you going? -The body.
We found out who it is. -Who?

A Russian guy named Sergei.
We're going to his house right now.

We'll take apart his apartment to
learn who he was. -Now? Right now?

Yes. What's the matter?

Wait. I'm coming with you. -Okay.
-Just a minute. I'm coming.

Okay. I'll be in the car. Hurry up.

Answer. Answer.

Hello. -They know about Sergei.
-And?

So they're going to his house now.
Did you clean up there? -Not really.

I'll delay them. Do it now.
-Thanks.

Avi. Avi Rajuan!

Avi.

Damn it.

He called you, too?

So? -The north precinct are
in charge of Nimrod's murder.

Now they're looking for Avi.
They'll let us know what happens.

That's why you called us?
-No, I called you in to talk about Sheinberg.

I reviewed all the material
over the weekend.

All you have are rumors.
No witnesses.

Any lawyer
could turn around the testimonies

and Sheinberg would hire the best.

So what are you saying? -We're
stopping the case. -Are you kidding?

You have nothing.
-I have a witness.

He gave me information about
a deal in southern Tel Aviv.

It's not in the file!
-Because I didn't put it in the system yet.

Since when? -A few days.
-Why didn't you report it?

Because I'm still checking.
-Who is it? -I don't know. He called.

We met in a parking lot. -He called?
Just like that? -Yes. Didn't say who.

But he gave me a lead to investigate.
-So why didn't you tell me?

Because he said they'd try to stop it,

that Sheinberg knows everything
that happen at the station,

that he has people.
-So you've been hiding it?

I didn't have a choice.
-That's unacceptable.

Okay, but now the investigation
will continue, right?

Well, you hand over all the material,
right now.

What time were you using
to conduct this investigation?

My own private time.
-Well, it stops, okay? Immediately.

I can't hand the file over
like this.

It's a deputy minister.
They'll kill me. -Okay.

I want all the reports,
everything. from both of you. You, too.

But we're on the brink
of a breakthrough on this case.

This isn't a small case, Ezra.
It's too big for you.

From now on, everything goes through
me, am I clear? -No problem.

You, too. -No problem
Whatever you say.

See that? What was that? -He's going
to collapse. He's under pressure.

So why didn't you say anything?
You're friends. He likes you.

Your source called me, too.
-What? Why didn't you say so?

For the same reason
you didn't say anything till now.

And did you meet him?
-Yes. In a parking lot.

So you're also investigating
the deals in southern Tel Aviv?

That's not the tip he gave me.

You realize the source has his own
interests, right? -Of course.

Every source has his own interests,
but now, it's getting interesting.

You realize that the source could be
Sheinberg himself.

He could be giving us two different
leads to see what we do with them.

How would that help him? -If he sees
that the police start to check out

the deals in southern Tel Aviv,
then he'll know you're taking the lead

and then, he'll take care of you.
-What do you mean, take care of me?

My father has a shed in the Moshav.

A few weeks ago,
suddenly someone ratted on him.

They came, took apart the shed,
totally destroyed it.

The Housing Ministry.
-I understand.

So now, Sheinberg's
going to get on your case, too.

You realize we're going to need
Berkovitz's backing

in order to make progress. We need...

Where is Motti? -He's not here.
-Close the door, please. Thank you.

We need a serious investigation team.
We need more detectives.

We've never handled corruption
on this level before.

As we know, there's also violence.
Hachuel fell in the shower in prison.

Look like an accident to you?

Berkovitz won't give you anything.
We're just in his way.

So what do you suggest?
Just give up?

Leak it to the press.

That's not how
investigations are conducted.

So they're the only ones who can play
dirty? Prey on our families?

We're allowed to as well.

Are you nuts?
-Gideon, you sound nervous.

Hachuel, the state witness fell in prison
was killed.

An old guy, things happen.
-You're really off the mark.

That wasn't supposed to happen.
-I don't know what you're talking about.

Listen carefully, you have a mole.
Someone's leaking info.

A mole?
Who?

I don't know who it is
but I really hope that

he doesn't know about our conversations.
-What has he told you?

Listen, Shmuel. I'm not going to talk
to you till this is all over.

Just remember, if I fall,
you go down with me. -So don't fall.

Don't worry.

Have Keller follow
those cops.

That's what the defense and security
budget is for, isn't it?

I want to know what they say.
I want to know what they think.

I want to know what they crap.
-I'll get it done immediately.

So? -Meanwhile,
they don't have anything.

The computer is blank
but they're still investigating.

Okay. Keep an eye on them.

I can't do it for much longer.
-Why?

Berkovitz is going to have me
transferred to another unit. -Now?

You have to stay.

Arik and I are a couple and Berkovitz
knows. -So what?

You'll leave the unit for Arik?

Throw your career away?
-I'm not throwing away my career.

Isn't he that guy who just got
divorced and goes from girl to girl?

What are you doing?

I love him. -Love.
It's all shit, believe me.

Today he loves you.
Tomorrow, he loves someone else.

I have to give it a chance.

You realize he's a free man.
He does whatever he wants to do.

Are you ready for that?

Do you have a minute?
-What?

The north precinct gave up
looking for Avi Rajuan. -So?

I don't get it. -The oldest story
in the world: Brother kills brother.

I checked their background.

The mother died years ago,
but the father died by drowning

in his bathtub while Nimrod
was on vacation from his dorm.

A little strange, no?
-What are you trying to say?

Look. Nimrod seems like a smart guy.

Why should he run away just
to get killed by his brother?

Maybe he's doing what he did
when he was in the dorm.

Runs away from jail, kills his brother,
dresses the body in his own clothes.

Makes us think he's dead and his
brother ran away, meanwhile, he's free.

The perfect crime.
-He killed his entire family, that smart guy.

Why? -I don't know.
Do you know who does know?

Who? Hadas, the asthmatic sister?
-Right. No one's looking for her.

You think she knows something.
-I checked her credit cards.

She usually lives in Holon.
Lately she's been in a B&B up north.

Okay. Tell the north precinct.
If you're right, Nimrod's with her.

Or else we can just go
and find her right now.

They said she went for a hike
half an hour ago, like every morning.

Well, she probably didn't want them
to know she's meeting her brother.

What is that?
-That's her car.

Lital.

I'm willing to bet it's Avi's blood.
-They're still in the area.

I don't have reception over here.
-I'll go to the car to call it in.

Do you hear me?

Do you hear me? I need backup.
-He's going... -What?

Don't move.

Put down the gun.
Put down the gun.

Nimrod. -Shut up.
-Nimrod, don't do anything that...

Zip it, cop.
Hadas, get in.

You failed, huh? You cops always fail.
-What didn't we do?

Save a little girl who was raped
by her father.

Nimrod, I'm sorry...
-Shut up you bitch. Shut up.

This is the cop that pressured me,
Nimrod.

You will pay. -Nimrod.
-You'll all pay. Take her gun.

I can help. -Shut up.
-Nimrod.

Get out!

Let her go or I'll shoot.
Let her go or I'll shoot.

He kidnapped me.
I swear.

They're checking the blood
on the blankets. You were right.

Pretty sad story, huh?

Are you all right? -Thanks.

What's going on here?
-He came from prison.

Naomi, call security.

It will cause panic,
do you understand?

A murderer and serial rapist
are roaming freely around the country.

Hello.
-Who are you, sir?

Quiet.

Someone's been going
through my trash.

Simantov, you're getting paranoid.

Bastard.
