Downtown Precinct (2011–2015): Season 2, Episode 5 - Episode #2.5 - full transcript
We know who is the partner of the
contractor involved in the murder.
Sheinberg,
the deputy housing minister?
Do you remember the embassy post
in Canada, Gideon? -Sounds nice.
Just so we're clear on this.
Don't all gang up on him.
You're not bringing him in
for interrogation.
I know exactly who you are,
Inspector Arbel and I'm not worried.
I can suggest transferring a file
that's sitting here on my desk.
Something that's connected to Babayof.
One corrupt policeman
who works for the mafia
means a corrupt country.
-Good luck.
That Arik. Is he married?
A problematic character, believe me.
-I actually like that type.
Don't get too excited.
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 right now.
This is your chance.
Why did our serial killer
wake up all of a sudden?
What's going on here?
-He arrived from prison, wheezing.
Sir! Don't you take care of those
things over there? I don't get it.
It fell in between doctor's shifts.
There are cutbacks and so...
So what's his problem? -He fainted.
Said he's being poisoned.
Does he have to be handcuffed
to the stretcher? -He's dangerous.
What did he do?
-You don't want to know.
Okay. Get some blood samples.
Uncuff him for me
and we'll transfer him together.
Naomi, call security.
Shut up and take off your clothes.
Now.
I hate these scenes. -What?
An inmate ran off and now
we have to catch him.
You know who we're talking about,
right? -That freak from last year.
I don't understand it.
We already caught him once.
Why do we have to do everything
twice?
The Prison Service doesn't want any
publicity. -Of course they don't.
They're scared more inmates
will escape.
So are we going public? -If we don't
find him within a few hours,
I'm going public and fuck the ego
of the Prison Service.
It's a small country.
Where could he be? -Arik's on his way.
How is he? -Frustrated. You know how
many years he chased that shithead.
Do you think he was traumatized
from the story?
Ask him, not me. -Do you think
I don't know about it? -About what?
I ignored it till now because
it didn't interfere with the job,
but if there's something serious
between the two of you,
one of you is going to have to transfer out.
You understand that.
So is it serious?
I don't know, Commissioner.
-What's going on?
We closed off the area, but he's not around.
-Did you put out an alert?
It's taken care of.
Blockades, airport rosters, photos all over.
He never talked to anyone in prison.
He just disappeared in thin air.
Are you sure you want this?
-Are you kidding?
Did he attack the guards?
-A watchman. -Why only one? -Budget.
Idiots. Smolevitz took the clothes,
the money
and the doctor's car and he has
a gun from prison security.
Are you notifying the press?
-I don't think I have a choice.
Panic will break out.
Don't you see?
A murderer and serial killer
is roaming around the country.
Commissioner, someone in prison
leaked it to the media.
It's already on television.
-Shit. -Excellent.
I hope you have a lot of operators.
We're going to get calls every 2 minutes.
Yes.
Why didn't you shoot him in the head?
Didn't I teach you anything?
You're complaining? So why didn't
you shoot him in the head?
I was busy. -You mean you were
cuffed on the floor and drugged.
No. I was first on the scene.
You were late. You're never on time.
Let the circus begin.
Hello.
-Hello.
Nobody went over the material
that they found at his house?
Why? -It was easy to convict.
We didn't need to check everything.
He kept photos of all four murders.
Maybe there were more. -We didn't
find any signs that there were.
The bastard knows his medicine.
Did he study?
-He's an autodidact.
We found thousands
of books in his house.
Those are the most dangerous.
Hey, what are you doing over there?
Hey!
Come here.
"For: Ezra Simantov"
Are you okay? -Yes.
We'll catch him. -I know.
You know, after he drugged me,
time stopped.
I was truly scared. I didn't...
I didn't know how I would survive.
I worried about you the entire time.
I was sure he killed you.
-But he didn't.
Now, we have to arrest him.
Do you think
he'll try to go back home?
I sent a squad car to his house.
Excuse me.
What are you doing?
Hello.
-Who are you, sir?
I'm sorry.
I rent the house next door.
Which house?
-Right over there.
I don't know anything about it.
Quiet. Quiet. Quiet.
Who lives in that house since
Smolevitz moved out? -It's empty.
Well, who would want to rent it anyway?
-Depends on the price.
What about the woman? -In the hospital.
Lucky she wasn't choked to death.
Has she woken up?
-For a few minutes, identified him.
Do we know what he was wearing?
-It was night. He had a small bag.
That's not good news, you know.
The policewoman in the house
didn't see anything either.
Wow. What a structure he built here.
-You said he was an autodidact.
Be careful, Alex.
Wow... and I thought we had enough
stuff on him.
It will take years to go through this.
Do you think these are movies
of his kids' bar-mitzva?
There were a lot more video tapes.
He took some. Signs of a dust.
Bingo.
The escape route.
An organized bastard.
Ow! -Arik!
Wait.
Are you okay?
-Yes, yes.
Wait. Something is in there.
-Careful. Careful.
He really worked on this.
He also wrote us a letter.
-Us?
"Policemen, here's a real treat.
Bark mushrooms for you to eat.
"Who will start to dream real hard?
Who will play the winning card? S."
What is bark mushroom?
Mushrooms? Like drugs?
Alex. Alex. -Arik?
Arik. -Alex.
Hello?
Hey...
Arik.
Is everything all right? -What?
No, no. Lital.
Lital, it's not all right.
Arik. Arik.
Arik.
You're all right. You're all right.
Arik!
You're okay. Everything's okay.
-What? -Everything's okay.
What happened? -There must have
been a drug on that trap.
You said something like:
"Not all right." What's not all right?
Smolevitz.
He tried to choke me.
Why are you laughing?
-No reason.
No reason?
He always manages to drug you.
If it's a hallucinogen,
it will take time. -Okay.
He's going to be okay.
I'm sorry.
-For what?
Is my garbage interesting?
Stop. Police!
Are you insane?
What are you doing?
I'm sorry. Sorry. I...
I'm from the police. We're chasing
a suspect. -What suspect?
What is your name?
-Superintendent Ezra Simantov.
No problem. I'm a lawyer and
I'm going to sue you. -You're allowed.
I am? So you allow me? Thank you.
-What are you doing?
I'm sorry. -Wait.
You're going to regret this even more.
Stop taking pictures.
Terrible. Horrid. It's not enough
that cops park in illegal zones?
Now I need a chief detective
attacking someone on the street?
You know that's not what happened.
-But all of your explanations
don't help right now, Simantov.
-What do you want now?
You're suspended for 2 weeks.
-What? -Calm down. It's with pay.
But I have to investigate
the deputy minister. -It will wait.
Someone is looking through my trash.
-Hope he enjoys it.
How do you know it's not just some homeless.
-Collecting my paperwork?
So who do you think it is? -Sheinberg
must have hired a private eye.
Don't you think that's a little much?
Detectives following our detectives?
Why? Haven't senior politicians
done that before?
Sheinberg is a lawyer.
He wouldn't do anything like that.
So it's not him.
Then it's one of his foundations.
So he can claim
he never knew about it.
Simantov, don't be paranoid.
You're falling apart.
You're playing into their hands.
That's exactly what they want you to do.
Where is the good old Ezra?
You're suspended.
-This is a mistake.
Go home. Take a vacation.
You deserve it.
Son of a bitch.
Son of a bitch.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
-Filming.
What?
-A student's film.
You can't film here.
It's a school.
Come on. Come here. -Why?
-I want to check your ID card.
Come on. Come here.
What's going on Ezra?
-Did someone follow you? -No.
Are you sure?
I led them off track,
like we learned in training. -Great.
There's someone I've seen
a few times already.
They're even checking my trash.
-They're really on your case.
What is that?
That's what you're reading? -Yes.
You know that is book Muki was
reading before he went crazy? -Yes.
What's going on with you?
I'm keeping my eyes open.
Maybe this country really needs
a tougher type of protection.
I was at the Board.
Real Estate?
-Yes.
You can't imaging
the number of deals going on.
Someone holding a ton of contracts,
deciding where and when to sell,
in which areas.
Sheinberg is the most
powerful man in the government.
Do you realize
who we're dealing with?
He sits on
4 construction committees
and owns several companies
through straw men,
companies who invest in construction
and receive money for consultation.
Does he also set the prices?
The Board decides who gets the land,
where and what they'll build,
and also maintains
the price level.
You better document this, Ezra.
Otherwise, Berkovitz will bury you.
Me? I thought us.
Did you give up?
No. No way.
I'm with you.
He found something on you, huh?
Did he threaten you?
I told you to use that journalist,
didn't I? You didn't want to.
Do whatever you think.
From now on, you're on your own.
It's been only me from the start,
Ezra.
What did he tell you exactly?
That prizes will be given out
for anyone who wears this hat
and pretends he's in a student film.
Do you know him from before?
-No. He met me at the bus station.
Did he bring you here in a car?
-Yes. -Which car?
I don't remember. A blue one.
So he was here. -What?
He entered the school.
They saw him on the security cameras.
What did he do here?
-He went into the office,
managed to look over
the student roster.
If we call the parents now,
it will cause mass panic.
Of course we'll call.
Have to do it quickly.
One more thing.
He left this in the office for us.
"A little girl fell in a hole.
She didn't know where to go.
"She was called to trial by a queen,
in a mirror she hadn't seen."
Look at me.
Shmuel, I wanted to ask you...
Oh, sorry.
You're in the middle of something.
-That's okay. Stay.
That's why we have a shower here.
Everything is ready for tomorrow.
Did we get all the pamphlets?
-We did.
I want you to sign here,
a few documents.
It can wait.
-Why are you standing? Sit.
Go take a shower. Freshen up.
You deserve it. We even have shampoo.
Thanks.
That's what you're wearing?
To dinner. -What?
-Important people will be there.
The Belgian Housing Minister.
You could try a little harder.
Okay, I have time to change
so...
You're a pretty woman,
you know that?
Is there anything else?
Are you happy with your job
in the office?
Do you like it with me?
Shmuel, I don't like this.
-Why?
I'm very dedicated to my job.
But this, this isn't so good.
What do you care?
Lots of girls
would love to be in your place.
Hanging around with the most
powerful people in the country,
trips abroad, five star hotels.
Look at what you get.
It's worth your while.
I'll get you promoted.
PM Lihi Guterman.
Sounds good.
Isn't that what you want?
That's why you're here?
-Yes.
You're playing with the big kids now.
Don't mess up.
A lot of girls would trade places
with you.
Nobody is here today. Enjoy it.
Go wild.
Okay. Maybe some other time.
-Okay. Think about it.
Maybe he just wants
to drive us crazy.
While we're busy
with his postcards,
he could be somewhere else
altogether.
I want to know where he sleeps.
He didn't go back home.
He's not by relatives.
It's hard to believe he'd risk it at a hotel.
Maybe in his car? -No, he abandoned
that doctor's car that he stole.
What about the car he had at
the Moshav and at school?
We can check the security cameras
in the area.
I think there are security cameras
at the entrance to the Moshav.
What are you doing?
Trying to walk a mile
in a crazy man's shoes.
Are those poems from
"Alice in Wonderland?"
What? -Mushrooms, cards,
a hole, a queen.
I saw the movie with my nephew
last week.
Someone was high on drugs
when he made that movie.
Good one, Lital.
-Am I right?
I think so.
Wow. You're awesome.
-No need to exaggerate.
I just saw a movie.
You'd have guessed it in the end.
-You know it's based on a book, right?
Of course...
two books, actually, right?
Well, I'll go over the list to see if
there are any girls named Alice.
Also check "Lisa."
-I'll check the security cameras.
What's with her?
-Just get off her back.
You got her riled up as it is.
Hello. -Good evening. Mrs. Poleg?
-Yes.
Lisa's mother. -Yes.
-Alex Yudayev. Israeli Police.
Hey, where are you going?
-To get something to eat.
I'm sick of watching security camera tapes.
-Yeah, right. -You coming?
I wanted to ask if you noticed
anyone strange today
outside of Lisa's school?
Is this about that murder?
-Yes, but it's standard questioning.
We're asking all the parents
of all the children at school. -I see.
No, I didn't see anything.
-Okay.
Hello. Good evening.
We don't want to scare her.
Mom, I know English. -Okay.
Yes. Do you want anything.
-Red ones.
What's new? How much?
-Ten shekels please.
Regards to Tomer. -Will do.
Tell me, who is Sharon Even?
-Who? -Sharon Even.
Did she talk to you?
-No, she left a message.
You get back to her?
-No.
What's the story?
-Just a detective who's on my back.
Internal Affairs?
Are they trying to frame you?
Something like that.
You don't have to tell me if you
don't want to.
I guess I don't.
-Hey, hey, hey. I'm not your enemy.
I'm on your side.
-I know.
I read the report about
the Smolevitz investigation.
I see that you really care.
You've been working
on Kinneret's case for years
when no one wanted to continue.
Thanks.
-Not everyone is like you.
Listen, Lital. About that kiss...
-Yes.
It was nice. -Really?
-Really. -Thanks.
But I... you know... I'm not...
If you change your mind,
you know I'm always here... for you.
Thanks.
If you need any help
with that Sharon Even, for example,
if you want me to lie for you...
I'm always ready.
-I can manage meanwhile.
What's going on?
They found his car
early in the morning.
Hello.
Were you at the station
all night long? -Yes.
Lital helped me find the car
on the security tapes.
She also saw that one in the movies
with her nephews?
Just a coincidence. A neighbor
complained his spot was blocked.
Ironic, isn't it? -What?
One mile away from the station.
Well, at least we're done with the
postcards. -No. He left one more.
"If you're reading this card,
you've probably found the treasure.
"That means I have to push up
my tea party. Too bad.
"Alice is in for a surprise."
We also found his digital camera.
I haven't gone over the pictures, yet.
Fun, fun, fun.
What are you looking for?
Impossible.
Hello.
-Hello policewoman.
Who is this? -You almost caught me.
How exciting.
Smolevitz? -Did you like
the surprise photographs?
Isn't that your boyfriend hooked up
with a different lady cop?
We'll meet at the live broadcast.
Hello? Hello?
He's really following us, huh?
What was that?
-What?
Don't act so innocent.
-What exactly do you want to know?
What are you talking about?
-The investigation.
And then she started touching you
all of a sudden?
Probably when she said...
-What?
What did she say?
-I don't remember.
We were talking about a case
against me from Internal Affairs.
And she said you were important to her?
That she wants you?
What? -There's nothing going on
between us.
That's the kind of story
you'd sell to Ronit.
I see you don't care that he's following us.
-Don't change the topic.
What's going on?
-Did you see the pictures?
Yes. I don't understand
how he gets so close to us.
The press
is breathing down my back.
It's become a main item on the news.
What did he tell you?
"See you on the live broadcast."
-We gave everything to the psychologist.
We don't know who the "Alice" is
in his postcards.
What did the psychologist say?
-Smolevitz enjoys playing around.
I know that. Tell me something new.
-Nothing.
He said that Smolevitz
doesn't go for children.
All his victims are women, not girls
and if he has a target,
it's a woman.
-Do you identify with him?
What's going on?
I'm tired.
I've been here all night.
What's going on between you two?
-What?
Do you think I'm stupid?
-Listen Berkovitz...
Alex, go home.
You're off the case as of this minute.
-What? I'm the one who...
I told you that if it disrupts
the investigation, it's over.
Now.
-Berkovitz.
Alex... Alex...
You stay here.
Talk to her on the phone later.
Berkovitz, I... -I don't have time
for this. -Sorry. -Enough.
Where is Arik? -Don't go near him.
-Excuse me? -Don't go near him.
What?
-You heard what I said.
Good luck, darling.
What are you looking at?
Hi. This is Alex.
Leave a message but a text is better.
What's the whole Alice in Wonderland
thing? -We still don't know.
We know he said live broadcast.
-He wants to stay in the news.
That's obvious. Seems it won't
be too difficult for him.
I think he wants us to catch him.
Otherwise, why provoke us?
Why does he send hints?
Why does he hang around here?
All the postcards are of girls
in bathing suits, right? -Yes.
Isn't there an ex-reality star
called "Alice?"
Alice Rivel.
-Yes.
That makes sense with
the live broadcast, too.
Do you watch reality, Commissioner?
-Once in a while. At home.
She learned at the school he visited.
Wow. Look how many references
there are about this Alice.
Well, she's dating that actor.
-Who?
You know. What's his name?
Hello. -So tell me, first of all,
how you market your brand
"and then we'll discuss where you
get your hair done." -Go check.
"No problem.
I began my acting career in school.
"I played Alice in Wonderland.
I always had style..."
Hey, Berkovitz. You're a genius.
A taste for trash.
The photos he took
from the school's archives are hers.
She lives in a nice area, huh?
I heard she signed a contract
with a fashion designer. -Wow.
Too bad she doesn't know
that she's the lead star in a thriller.
It's best she doesn't.
I'm going out for a while.
What? -I understand that you
are not answering my calls.
What a genius. -Listen. Alex.
I don't know what you think
but there's nothing going on between
Lital and me.
You have to believe me.
-Okay.
And you shouldn't have left
like that, in the middle.
You should have followed me. -I know
but you know that I couldn't, right?
Why? Because you care about
your career? I care, too.
I know. -You don't know.
You don't understand the price
I have to pay to be with you.
Berkovitz will kick me out.
What do you want to do?
-I'm taking a break...
Berkovitz won't move you
so quickly... -From you.
Are you serious? -Yes.
Decide what you want from me.
I'm willing to compromise, but...
-I have to hang up.
Get back to me.
Who was that, Arik?
-What difference does it make?
Are you all right? -Yes.
If you need some time alone,
we don't both have to be here.
Yes, we do.
But that's nice of you.
Do you have any more gum?
Who is that?
-Do you think...
We have a suspect.
Hey!
Hey!
Stop for a minute, I'm telling you.
What's wrong with you?
-Who are you?
Electric company.
-Okay. I'm a cop.
Are you crazy?
-It's that murderer, right?
-It's all fine, ma'am.
Routine drill.
Isn't that the serial murderer
we're talking about?
The police don't like
to use names like that.
They don't want to arouse panic
"but they do want help from
the public." -Mom?
"A photo of Smolevitz was posted.
This is what he looks like.
"If you see someone like him, please
report immediately to the police.
"He's armed and very dangerous.
Raffi."
"I'm just in shock.
Why didn't they tell me about it.
What am I? Bait?"
Hello, Alex.
Don't even think about it.
What do you want?
-To see the cop who shot me.
It's so nice.
The diamond in the crown.
Where's my mother?
-She still isn't here.
The cops are after you, you know.
-I doubt it.
I sent them on a wild goose chase.
But that's not the point.
There isn't a death penalty
in this country anyways.
Don't fight it. The drug will kick in
soon. You won't make it.
100% dead? -100%.
Alex.
Don't worry. I'll be all right.
I'm just going in to do a few tests.
I worried about you.
You're late. -I'm sorry.
Yeah, you've been saying that a lot.
Don't get insulted, okay?
I'm closing my eyes for a little bit.
Are you going with her?
Hello. Do you know who this is?
The witness who wants
to remain anonymous.
Right. I have something else for you.
Stop! Police!
Almost nothing was stolen.
It's just the computer
that's bothering me.
I want that computer
or I'll destroy this entire warehouse.
Police.
Shit.
Good morning.
-Did you talk to Berkovitz?
No, why?
-I told him that we weren't together.
What?
Are you playing games with me?
Someone's leaking stuff, huh?
-I have more material.
You can't imagine what he can do
when he's under pressure.
I want him dead.
contractor involved in the murder.
Sheinberg,
the deputy housing minister?
Do you remember the embassy post
in Canada, Gideon? -Sounds nice.
Just so we're clear on this.
Don't all gang up on him.
You're not bringing him in
for interrogation.
I know exactly who you are,
Inspector Arbel and I'm not worried.
I can suggest transferring a file
that's sitting here on my desk.
Something that's connected to Babayof.
One corrupt policeman
who works for the mafia
means a corrupt country.
-Good luck.
That Arik. Is he married?
A problematic character, believe me.
-I actually like that type.
Don't get too excited.
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 right now.
This is your chance.
Why did our serial killer
wake up all of a sudden?
What's going on here?
-He arrived from prison, wheezing.
Sir! Don't you take care of those
things over there? I don't get it.
It fell in between doctor's shifts.
There are cutbacks and so...
So what's his problem? -He fainted.
Said he's being poisoned.
Does he have to be handcuffed
to the stretcher? -He's dangerous.
What did he do?
-You don't want to know.
Okay. Get some blood samples.
Uncuff him for me
and we'll transfer him together.
Naomi, call security.
Shut up and take off your clothes.
Now.
I hate these scenes. -What?
An inmate ran off and now
we have to catch him.
You know who we're talking about,
right? -That freak from last year.
I don't understand it.
We already caught him once.
Why do we have to do everything
twice?
The Prison Service doesn't want any
publicity. -Of course they don't.
They're scared more inmates
will escape.
So are we going public? -If we don't
find him within a few hours,
I'm going public and fuck the ego
of the Prison Service.
It's a small country.
Where could he be? -Arik's on his way.
How is he? -Frustrated. You know how
many years he chased that shithead.
Do you think he was traumatized
from the story?
Ask him, not me. -Do you think
I don't know about it? -About what?
I ignored it till now because
it didn't interfere with the job,
but if there's something serious
between the two of you,
one of you is going to have to transfer out.
You understand that.
So is it serious?
I don't know, Commissioner.
-What's going on?
We closed off the area, but he's not around.
-Did you put out an alert?
It's taken care of.
Blockades, airport rosters, photos all over.
He never talked to anyone in prison.
He just disappeared in thin air.
Are you sure you want this?
-Are you kidding?
Did he attack the guards?
-A watchman. -Why only one? -Budget.
Idiots. Smolevitz took the clothes,
the money
and the doctor's car and he has
a gun from prison security.
Are you notifying the press?
-I don't think I have a choice.
Panic will break out.
Don't you see?
A murderer and serial killer
is roaming around the country.
Commissioner, someone in prison
leaked it to the media.
It's already on television.
-Shit. -Excellent.
I hope you have a lot of operators.
We're going to get calls every 2 minutes.
Yes.
Why didn't you shoot him in the head?
Didn't I teach you anything?
You're complaining? So why didn't
you shoot him in the head?
I was busy. -You mean you were
cuffed on the floor and drugged.
No. I was first on the scene.
You were late. You're never on time.
Let the circus begin.
Hello.
-Hello.
Nobody went over the material
that they found at his house?
Why? -It was easy to convict.
We didn't need to check everything.
He kept photos of all four murders.
Maybe there were more. -We didn't
find any signs that there were.
The bastard knows his medicine.
Did he study?
-He's an autodidact.
We found thousands
of books in his house.
Those are the most dangerous.
Hey, what are you doing over there?
Hey!
Come here.
"For: Ezra Simantov"
Are you okay? -Yes.
We'll catch him. -I know.
You know, after he drugged me,
time stopped.
I was truly scared. I didn't...
I didn't know how I would survive.
I worried about you the entire time.
I was sure he killed you.
-But he didn't.
Now, we have to arrest him.
Do you think
he'll try to go back home?
I sent a squad car to his house.
Excuse me.
What are you doing?
Hello.
-Who are you, sir?
I'm sorry.
I rent the house next door.
Which house?
-Right over there.
I don't know anything about it.
Quiet. Quiet. Quiet.
Who lives in that house since
Smolevitz moved out? -It's empty.
Well, who would want to rent it anyway?
-Depends on the price.
What about the woman? -In the hospital.
Lucky she wasn't choked to death.
Has she woken up?
-For a few minutes, identified him.
Do we know what he was wearing?
-It was night. He had a small bag.
That's not good news, you know.
The policewoman in the house
didn't see anything either.
Wow. What a structure he built here.
-You said he was an autodidact.
Be careful, Alex.
Wow... and I thought we had enough
stuff on him.
It will take years to go through this.
Do you think these are movies
of his kids' bar-mitzva?
There were a lot more video tapes.
He took some. Signs of a dust.
Bingo.
The escape route.
An organized bastard.
Ow! -Arik!
Wait.
Are you okay?
-Yes, yes.
Wait. Something is in there.
-Careful. Careful.
He really worked on this.
He also wrote us a letter.
-Us?
"Policemen, here's a real treat.
Bark mushrooms for you to eat.
"Who will start to dream real hard?
Who will play the winning card? S."
What is bark mushroom?
Mushrooms? Like drugs?
Alex. Alex. -Arik?
Arik. -Alex.
Hello?
Hey...
Arik.
Is everything all right? -What?
No, no. Lital.
Lital, it's not all right.
Arik. Arik.
Arik.
You're all right. You're all right.
Arik!
You're okay. Everything's okay.
-What? -Everything's okay.
What happened? -There must have
been a drug on that trap.
You said something like:
"Not all right." What's not all right?
Smolevitz.
He tried to choke me.
Why are you laughing?
-No reason.
No reason?
He always manages to drug you.
If it's a hallucinogen,
it will take time. -Okay.
He's going to be okay.
I'm sorry.
-For what?
Is my garbage interesting?
Stop. Police!
Are you insane?
What are you doing?
I'm sorry. Sorry. I...
I'm from the police. We're chasing
a suspect. -What suspect?
What is your name?
-Superintendent Ezra Simantov.
No problem. I'm a lawyer and
I'm going to sue you. -You're allowed.
I am? So you allow me? Thank you.
-What are you doing?
I'm sorry. -Wait.
You're going to regret this even more.
Stop taking pictures.
Terrible. Horrid. It's not enough
that cops park in illegal zones?
Now I need a chief detective
attacking someone on the street?
You know that's not what happened.
-But all of your explanations
don't help right now, Simantov.
-What do you want now?
You're suspended for 2 weeks.
-What? -Calm down. It's with pay.
But I have to investigate
the deputy minister. -It will wait.
Someone is looking through my trash.
-Hope he enjoys it.
How do you know it's not just some homeless.
-Collecting my paperwork?
So who do you think it is? -Sheinberg
must have hired a private eye.
Don't you think that's a little much?
Detectives following our detectives?
Why? Haven't senior politicians
done that before?
Sheinberg is a lawyer.
He wouldn't do anything like that.
So it's not him.
Then it's one of his foundations.
So he can claim
he never knew about it.
Simantov, don't be paranoid.
You're falling apart.
You're playing into their hands.
That's exactly what they want you to do.
Where is the good old Ezra?
You're suspended.
-This is a mistake.
Go home. Take a vacation.
You deserve it.
Son of a bitch.
Son of a bitch.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
-Filming.
What?
-A student's film.
You can't film here.
It's a school.
Come on. Come here. -Why?
-I want to check your ID card.
Come on. Come here.
What's going on Ezra?
-Did someone follow you? -No.
Are you sure?
I led them off track,
like we learned in training. -Great.
There's someone I've seen
a few times already.
They're even checking my trash.
-They're really on your case.
What is that?
That's what you're reading? -Yes.
You know that is book Muki was
reading before he went crazy? -Yes.
What's going on with you?
I'm keeping my eyes open.
Maybe this country really needs
a tougher type of protection.
I was at the Board.
Real Estate?
-Yes.
You can't imaging
the number of deals going on.
Someone holding a ton of contracts,
deciding where and when to sell,
in which areas.
Sheinberg is the most
powerful man in the government.
Do you realize
who we're dealing with?
He sits on
4 construction committees
and owns several companies
through straw men,
companies who invest in construction
and receive money for consultation.
Does he also set the prices?
The Board decides who gets the land,
where and what they'll build,
and also maintains
the price level.
You better document this, Ezra.
Otherwise, Berkovitz will bury you.
Me? I thought us.
Did you give up?
No. No way.
I'm with you.
He found something on you, huh?
Did he threaten you?
I told you to use that journalist,
didn't I? You didn't want to.
Do whatever you think.
From now on, you're on your own.
It's been only me from the start,
Ezra.
What did he tell you exactly?
That prizes will be given out
for anyone who wears this hat
and pretends he's in a student film.
Do you know him from before?
-No. He met me at the bus station.
Did he bring you here in a car?
-Yes. -Which car?
I don't remember. A blue one.
So he was here. -What?
He entered the school.
They saw him on the security cameras.
What did he do here?
-He went into the office,
managed to look over
the student roster.
If we call the parents now,
it will cause mass panic.
Of course we'll call.
Have to do it quickly.
One more thing.
He left this in the office for us.
"A little girl fell in a hole.
She didn't know where to go.
"She was called to trial by a queen,
in a mirror she hadn't seen."
Look at me.
Shmuel, I wanted to ask you...
Oh, sorry.
You're in the middle of something.
-That's okay. Stay.
That's why we have a shower here.
Everything is ready for tomorrow.
Did we get all the pamphlets?
-We did.
I want you to sign here,
a few documents.
It can wait.
-Why are you standing? Sit.
Go take a shower. Freshen up.
You deserve it. We even have shampoo.
Thanks.
That's what you're wearing?
To dinner. -What?
-Important people will be there.
The Belgian Housing Minister.
You could try a little harder.
Okay, I have time to change
so...
You're a pretty woman,
you know that?
Is there anything else?
Are you happy with your job
in the office?
Do you like it with me?
Shmuel, I don't like this.
-Why?
I'm very dedicated to my job.
But this, this isn't so good.
What do you care?
Lots of girls
would love to be in your place.
Hanging around with the most
powerful people in the country,
trips abroad, five star hotels.
Look at what you get.
It's worth your while.
I'll get you promoted.
PM Lihi Guterman.
Sounds good.
Isn't that what you want?
That's why you're here?
-Yes.
You're playing with the big kids now.
Don't mess up.
A lot of girls would trade places
with you.
Nobody is here today. Enjoy it.
Go wild.
Okay. Maybe some other time.
-Okay. Think about it.
Maybe he just wants
to drive us crazy.
While we're busy
with his postcards,
he could be somewhere else
altogether.
I want to know where he sleeps.
He didn't go back home.
He's not by relatives.
It's hard to believe he'd risk it at a hotel.
Maybe in his car? -No, he abandoned
that doctor's car that he stole.
What about the car he had at
the Moshav and at school?
We can check the security cameras
in the area.
I think there are security cameras
at the entrance to the Moshav.
What are you doing?
Trying to walk a mile
in a crazy man's shoes.
Are those poems from
"Alice in Wonderland?"
What? -Mushrooms, cards,
a hole, a queen.
I saw the movie with my nephew
last week.
Someone was high on drugs
when he made that movie.
Good one, Lital.
-Am I right?
I think so.
Wow. You're awesome.
-No need to exaggerate.
I just saw a movie.
You'd have guessed it in the end.
-You know it's based on a book, right?
Of course...
two books, actually, right?
Well, I'll go over the list to see if
there are any girls named Alice.
Also check "Lisa."
-I'll check the security cameras.
What's with her?
-Just get off her back.
You got her riled up as it is.
Hello. -Good evening. Mrs. Poleg?
-Yes.
Lisa's mother. -Yes.
-Alex Yudayev. Israeli Police.
Hey, where are you going?
-To get something to eat.
I'm sick of watching security camera tapes.
-Yeah, right. -You coming?
I wanted to ask if you noticed
anyone strange today
outside of Lisa's school?
Is this about that murder?
-Yes, but it's standard questioning.
We're asking all the parents
of all the children at school. -I see.
No, I didn't see anything.
-Okay.
Hello. Good evening.
We don't want to scare her.
Mom, I know English. -Okay.
Yes. Do you want anything.
-Red ones.
What's new? How much?
-Ten shekels please.
Regards to Tomer. -Will do.
Tell me, who is Sharon Even?
-Who? -Sharon Even.
Did she talk to you?
-No, she left a message.
You get back to her?
-No.
What's the story?
-Just a detective who's on my back.
Internal Affairs?
Are they trying to frame you?
Something like that.
You don't have to tell me if you
don't want to.
I guess I don't.
-Hey, hey, hey. I'm not your enemy.
I'm on your side.
-I know.
I read the report about
the Smolevitz investigation.
I see that you really care.
You've been working
on Kinneret's case for years
when no one wanted to continue.
Thanks.
-Not everyone is like you.
Listen, Lital. About that kiss...
-Yes.
It was nice. -Really?
-Really. -Thanks.
But I... you know... I'm not...
If you change your mind,
you know I'm always here... for you.
Thanks.
If you need any help
with that Sharon Even, for example,
if you want me to lie for you...
I'm always ready.
-I can manage meanwhile.
What's going on?
They found his car
early in the morning.
Hello.
Were you at the station
all night long? -Yes.
Lital helped me find the car
on the security tapes.
She also saw that one in the movies
with her nephews?
Just a coincidence. A neighbor
complained his spot was blocked.
Ironic, isn't it? -What?
One mile away from the station.
Well, at least we're done with the
postcards. -No. He left one more.
"If you're reading this card,
you've probably found the treasure.
"That means I have to push up
my tea party. Too bad.
"Alice is in for a surprise."
We also found his digital camera.
I haven't gone over the pictures, yet.
Fun, fun, fun.
What are you looking for?
Impossible.
Hello.
-Hello policewoman.
Who is this? -You almost caught me.
How exciting.
Smolevitz? -Did you like
the surprise photographs?
Isn't that your boyfriend hooked up
with a different lady cop?
We'll meet at the live broadcast.
Hello? Hello?
He's really following us, huh?
What was that?
-What?
Don't act so innocent.
-What exactly do you want to know?
What are you talking about?
-The investigation.
And then she started touching you
all of a sudden?
Probably when she said...
-What?
What did she say?
-I don't remember.
We were talking about a case
against me from Internal Affairs.
And she said you were important to her?
That she wants you?
What? -There's nothing going on
between us.
That's the kind of story
you'd sell to Ronit.
I see you don't care that he's following us.
-Don't change the topic.
What's going on?
-Did you see the pictures?
Yes. I don't understand
how he gets so close to us.
The press
is breathing down my back.
It's become a main item on the news.
What did he tell you?
"See you on the live broadcast."
-We gave everything to the psychologist.
We don't know who the "Alice" is
in his postcards.
What did the psychologist say?
-Smolevitz enjoys playing around.
I know that. Tell me something new.
-Nothing.
He said that Smolevitz
doesn't go for children.
All his victims are women, not girls
and if he has a target,
it's a woman.
-Do you identify with him?
What's going on?
I'm tired.
I've been here all night.
What's going on between you two?
-What?
Do you think I'm stupid?
-Listen Berkovitz...
Alex, go home.
You're off the case as of this minute.
-What? I'm the one who...
I told you that if it disrupts
the investigation, it's over.
Now.
-Berkovitz.
Alex... Alex...
You stay here.
Talk to her on the phone later.
Berkovitz, I... -I don't have time
for this. -Sorry. -Enough.
Where is Arik? -Don't go near him.
-Excuse me? -Don't go near him.
What?
-You heard what I said.
Good luck, darling.
What are you looking at?
Hi. This is Alex.
Leave a message but a text is better.
What's the whole Alice in Wonderland
thing? -We still don't know.
We know he said live broadcast.
-He wants to stay in the news.
That's obvious. Seems it won't
be too difficult for him.
I think he wants us to catch him.
Otherwise, why provoke us?
Why does he send hints?
Why does he hang around here?
All the postcards are of girls
in bathing suits, right? -Yes.
Isn't there an ex-reality star
called "Alice?"
Alice Rivel.
-Yes.
That makes sense with
the live broadcast, too.
Do you watch reality, Commissioner?
-Once in a while. At home.
She learned at the school he visited.
Wow. Look how many references
there are about this Alice.
Well, she's dating that actor.
-Who?
You know. What's his name?
Hello. -So tell me, first of all,
how you market your brand
"and then we'll discuss where you
get your hair done." -Go check.
"No problem.
I began my acting career in school.
"I played Alice in Wonderland.
I always had style..."
Hey, Berkovitz. You're a genius.
A taste for trash.
The photos he took
from the school's archives are hers.
She lives in a nice area, huh?
I heard she signed a contract
with a fashion designer. -Wow.
Too bad she doesn't know
that she's the lead star in a thriller.
It's best she doesn't.
I'm going out for a while.
What? -I understand that you
are not answering my calls.
What a genius. -Listen. Alex.
I don't know what you think
but there's nothing going on between
Lital and me.
You have to believe me.
-Okay.
And you shouldn't have left
like that, in the middle.
You should have followed me. -I know
but you know that I couldn't, right?
Why? Because you care about
your career? I care, too.
I know. -You don't know.
You don't understand the price
I have to pay to be with you.
Berkovitz will kick me out.
What do you want to do?
-I'm taking a break...
Berkovitz won't move you
so quickly... -From you.
Are you serious? -Yes.
Decide what you want from me.
I'm willing to compromise, but...
-I have to hang up.
Get back to me.
Who was that, Arik?
-What difference does it make?
Are you all right? -Yes.
If you need some time alone,
we don't both have to be here.
Yes, we do.
But that's nice of you.
Do you have any more gum?
Who is that?
-Do you think...
We have a suspect.
Hey!
Hey!
Stop for a minute, I'm telling you.
What's wrong with you?
-Who are you?
Electric company.
-Okay. I'm a cop.
Are you crazy?
-It's that murderer, right?
-It's all fine, ma'am.
Routine drill.
Isn't that the serial murderer
we're talking about?
The police don't like
to use names like that.
They don't want to arouse panic
"but they do want help from
the public." -Mom?
"A photo of Smolevitz was posted.
This is what he looks like.
"If you see someone like him, please
report immediately to the police.
"He's armed and very dangerous.
Raffi."
"I'm just in shock.
Why didn't they tell me about it.
What am I? Bait?"
Hello, Alex.
Don't even think about it.
What do you want?
-To see the cop who shot me.
It's so nice.
The diamond in the crown.
Where's my mother?
-She still isn't here.
The cops are after you, you know.
-I doubt it.
I sent them on a wild goose chase.
But that's not the point.
There isn't a death penalty
in this country anyways.
Don't fight it. The drug will kick in
soon. You won't make it.
100% dead? -100%.
Alex.
Don't worry. I'll be all right.
I'm just going in to do a few tests.
I worried about you.
You're late. -I'm sorry.
Yeah, you've been saying that a lot.
Don't get insulted, okay?
I'm closing my eyes for a little bit.
Are you going with her?
Hello. Do you know who this is?
The witness who wants
to remain anonymous.
Right. I have something else for you.
Stop! Police!
Almost nothing was stolen.
It's just the computer
that's bothering me.
I want that computer
or I'll destroy this entire warehouse.
Police.
Shit.
Good morning.
-Did you talk to Berkovitz?
No, why?
-I told him that we weren't together.
What?
Are you playing games with me?
Someone's leaking stuff, huh?
-I have more material.
You can't imagine what he can do
when he's under pressure.
I want him dead.
