Downtown Precinct (2011–2015): Season 2, Episode 7 - Episode #2.7 - full transcript
Do you want them to know about us?
I'm the State, Shumi.
It's the type of gun that shot
at Babayof. -Really?
We know who is helping out
the contractor involved in murder.
Sheinberg, deputy housing minister?
We've never dealt with this level
of corruption before.
Basically, Sheinberg is the most
powerful man in the government.
Do you realize
who we're dealing with?
One corrupt cop
working for the Mafia
means a corrupt country.
-Good luck.
I heard that your friend Arik is
involved in a complicated case
that has to do with
the deputy minister of housing.
It's a problem. Especially with all
those internal investigations of his.
Talk to him. Maybe he can
lay off the case.
Then the case against him can go
on the back burner as well.
You wanted to talk to me outside
of the station. Talk. -I want you
to find out what happened between
Arik and Babayof and how did the gun
that shot Babayof end up
in the hands of the Ukrainians.
Do you have something for me?
-Don't you care that you're taking out
a policeman who's working on
a corruption investigation right now?
You're involved in the Sheinberg case,
right? -Yes. Who is this?
I have something for you.
Who is that journalist?
Roni Leskov.
There's a journalist who won't stop
talking bad about us.
That journalist has to get
a message. -I understand.
Are you Leskov? -Yes.
Son of a bitch. -Roni!
There's something about a weapon
sold to a guy named, Shumi.
Something dirty. I don't know
any more. -Excellent.
Hello, what do you want? -There's
a gun that was problematic.
It went to a guy named Shumi.
What do you want? -The gun they
found on you was involved in a murder.
That's Shumi's gun, you morons.
Didn't they take that gun
when you were arrested? -Sure.
Arbel. You know? The crazy one.
So? -What happened?
-Nothing. A small confrontation.
I heard you went to talk to Sammy.
-Who told you that?
Anything you want to tell me?
Maybe you know what this is?
A revolver.
Sammy said Shumi had a gun like this
when he was arrested. It disappeared.
What are you trying to say? -The story
about Babayof's shooting doesn't jive.
Maybe you can explain it?
What's going on, Shumi?
Is everything all right?
-You can see.
What happened, exactly?
One of your detectives visited Sammy.
-Who? -Maybe Simantov.
Ezra, yes. What did he want? -To ask
Sammy questions about his gun.
Sammy told him it wasn't his gun.
He told him it was my gun.
When did that happen?
-Yesterday.
Okay. -And today, Simantov called my
sister. Wants to talk to me.
She wasn't home.
He left a message.
Go away for a while, Shumi.
Take a vacation. -A vacation?
Yeah. Go to Tiberias. -I don't want
to get in trouble anymore, okay?
That's why it's best if you
disappear for a while.
What if he catches me? -Who? Ezra?
-Yes.
Tell him you threw the gun in the
bushes before they arrested you.
Hey. You're not suspected of anything.
You know that, right?
And thanks for calling.
I'm done with that stuff. Understand?
-Yes. It's over. It'll be all right.
Disappear and say what I told you.
Believe me. It's not your problem.
Bye, bro'.
Ezra was at Sammy's. He could have
figured out the thing with the gun.
No one knows how long he's
suspected it. -We have to consider
all the options. Could be
that he knows everything.
That he connected all the dots.
-The Ukrainians had the gun.
The case is closed. -Yes, but nothing
really fits if you dig deep enough.
Ezra is digging, thank God.
-He can take it to Internal Affairs.
No. First he has to ask Shumi. It's
good that he's looking for him.
It means he's not certain.
-What do you want to do?
We need to move Ezra aside.
Or you could make a deal
with Sheinberg.
What?
I got a call from a guy who used to
be a cop. Now he's gone private.
Sheinberg is scared of the case
against him. He wants to make a deal.
Is that what he told you?
-He hinted.
He knows pretty well
that he can't say it straight out.
Sheinberg would close the case
against you. You'd get off clean.
In exchange, I'll push off
and close the investigation on him.
Right. Everything disappears. Ezra,
Sharon Even, Internal Affairs. Over.
When did he tell you that?
-About a week ago.
I didn't think it meant anything
until now.
What do you say? -I'd rather deal
with Ezra than with Sheinberg.
But what can you offer Ezra?
-Sheinberg.
We don't have Sheinberg.
-But Ezra doesn't either.
We have to get our hands on the
witness in the Housing Ministry.
You don't even know who it is.
-He called me. On a Talkman.
Okay. We need him to call again.
Then we'll trace the call.
If we had Roni, he would publicize
something on his blog.
He's still in the hospital,
unconscious.
Gurevitch could operate Roni's blog
by remote.
Or you could make a deal
with Sheinberg.
Sorry, Motti. It's not me.
-I know.
Is this legal? -Of course. - I'm
breaking in and writing in his name.
Gurevitch, keep typing.
-Okay.
So why aren't we at the police
station? -Oh...
What did I tell you? Huh?
You came at the right time.
Lihi!
Did you read that? -Aren't you
worried that someone switched him?
I don't care about who writes on the
internet. We stopped them.
Bring me glasses.
You're joining us, right?
Tomorrow, all the papers will run it.
-Litzman says he still didn't get
a final notice. -Lawyers. They have
to be careful. This is good news.
Maybe make reservations at
Chelnov. We'll go and celebrate.
Why don't you come along?
It will be nice.
Cheers, everyone!
Spicy as hell. Any Coke?
-There's diet.
Okay. Why not?
Shit.
An unlisted number.
Got it?
Hello.
Yes, yes. I made a deposit.
It's the bank.
This story could take days.
-Yeah, right.
This operation is messing up really
your schedule. Hey, there. -What?
Yeah. -Where. -There.
-Is it out?
The bank is driving me crazy.
Hello?
Arbel? -Yes.
Do you know who this is? -Yes.
-The case is closed. I heard.
Not exactly true. -You're not doing
your job.
I'm doing everything I can.
-I'm taking risks. You're not.
Listen. We need someone who will
testify. Paperwork isn't enough.
I gave you everything.
Let me tell you something, okay?
We're processing all that
information, understand?
But it will take time.
No one will want to talk.
So threaten them. -That's what
we're doing. Believe me.
Bring Sheinberg in for interrogation.
Let him sweat.
I'll need a lot more than this
to bring him in.
So bring in other people.
Do your job.
Lihi.
Hello? The call was disconnected.
Who were you talking to?
-No one. Just the insurance.
Now? It's eight at night.
Didn't you go to Chelnov? To the
restaurant? -I forgot my phone.
What phone is that? -It's my...
spare phone. When mine breaks.
I didn't know it was broken. -It
didn't. It just causes me problems.
Lihi, go home. Rest up.
It's late.
Here's the number. -Call it.
Call it. Call it. Now.
No answer.
There was something weird about his
voice, right? -I think so too.
Maybe it's a "she," not a "he?"
-Was it disconnected? -Yes. I heard
voices. Maybe he was scared.
-He's going to dump the phone.
And then what? -He'll buy a new one.
Where did they buy that phone?
A store in Modi'in. -Okay. Let's go.
-Come on. Get to work.
Forget that. Forget it.
Let's go.
Stop the car. Here. Here.
10 minutes till closing. -Maybe
we missed him? -He'll be here.
There. -Show me.
I told you it could be a woman,
didn't I?
Is that her? -No, I don't think so.
Too old.
There.
Show me. -She seems pretty upset.
Who is that?
-She looks familiar.
What is she doing? -Buying a phone.
-Can I see?
That's Sheinberg's PA.
Lihi Guterman.
She's leaving.
-Let's follow her.
Weren't we on this street already?
Modi'in. It all looks the same.
-Find out where she lives.
Don't move. Are you all right?
Thanks. -They've already
been arrested.
How are you? -Okay.
Could you identify those guys?
-I don't know then.
Do you know why they came
to your apartment?
You know it wasn't just an attempted
robbery. They wanted to kill you.
Afterwards, they would have
staged a robbery.
We know those guys very well.
Lihi, you realize that the game
ends today, right?
Who else in Sheinberg's office
knows that you spoke to the police?
I don't know what you're talking
about. I thought the case was closed.
Lihi, stop playing games.
It's over.
They'll kill you.
You need our protection.
You'll never manage to take him down.
-I think we will
and I think you know it, too.
That's why you called us.
We can take him down
if you talk.
Now you really don't have anything
to lose, right?
The worst has already happened.
They failed.
Can you make a connection between
Sheinberg and Babayof? -I'm not sure.
And the corruption in the Housing
Ministry? -Yes. -Hachuel? -Yes.
That's it. He's done for. It's over.
-It's not over until he's behind bars.
If you talk, it will be over.
He's very smart and very well
connected. -It won't help him.
A trial could take years. -Okay.
That's why we can also take
preliminary testimony. -What's that?
-When a witness is in danger like you,
we bring him before a judge
and he testifies before the trial.
But I'll have to testify again
in any case.
Maybe, but there would be no reason
to hurt you. The testimony was given.
Don't you want to know why I'm doing
this? -Only if you want to tell.
Because he disgusts me.
That's a good reason.
Tell Lital to put those shitheads
in different rooms. -Done.
She's willing to talk.
Okay. -Do you know where Ezra is?
-Are you ready? -Let's hope so.
So? -What happened? -Just
a little confrontation. It's nothing.
I heard you went to talk to Sammy.
Who told you that?
Is there anything
you want to tell me?
Maybe you know what this is?
A revolver.
Sammy said Shumi had a gun like this
but it disappeared after the arrest.
What are you trying to say? -The
story about Babayof doesn't jive.
Maybe you can explain it?
You know what? I'll let you choose.
Choose? -I'll let you choose
what you want more.
To catch Sheinberg, or to catch me.
-What does that mean?
Our witness, D from the Housing
Ministry? I know who it is.
Who? -Let's say he's in my car right
now, debating whether to testify or not.
Who is it? -He's willing to talk and
if he does, Sheinberg goes down,
goes to prison for a long time.
Isn't that what you want?
Who is it? -But if I get sucked into
a mess of investigations right now
and Internal Affairs starts chasing
me, then you know what happens.
The witness backs down,
shuts up, disappears.
And then the entire investigation is
tainted because it looks like
the detective who's investigating
the politician
is just as dirty as he is.
And then, we all lose.
You know that.
They'll shut us down.
Sheinberg will manage to get off.
Who knows? Maybe in a few years
he'll become Prime Minister.
So I'm letting you choose who you
want to bring down. Sheinberg or me.
You won't get both.
Ezra, I have a plan
that even Sheinberg can't stop
and Berkovitz can't get in the way.
We're going to use it right now.
Understand, Ezra. Together, we can
bring down Sheinberg
and we don't have a lot of time.
The witness is in the car.
Did you shoot him?
Was it in self defense?
Me or Sheinberg. Decide
what is more important to you.
Was it in self defense? Answer me.
-Me or Sheinberg.
I need time to make up my mind.
-We don't have time.
We have to work fast or Sheinberg
will start to move.
He knows we have a witness.
He won't wait for our next move.
Five minutes. Either join me
and we'll bring down Sheinberg
or you want me. Choose.
Hello. -Hello. -It's me. I understand
that you've already heard.
Can they connect it to us? -No.
But she's at the station and she's
talking. They also got 2 of our guys
so you can never know.
Okay, listen. We have too many
interests at risk.
I want you to get rid of her
and make sure it's done right.
It's much more complicated now.
-No, it's not a problem at all.
I already spoke with someone who
can't be connected to us. -Who?
The Indian. You know
who I'm talking about. -Yes.
He needs details.
Will you give him the details?
You know that Arbel is guarding her
now. -Okay. So take him out, too.
That cop caused us too many problems.
I want him dead. -Okay.
Hello. -Hello, Zidan? -Huh?
This is the Russian friend of the guy
who talked to you.
I have the details of the job for you.
Okay. We're done with that.
Now tell me
which one of these accounts
is fictitious? -All of them.
What's going on, Abramov?
I don't know anything.
Breaking and entering, assault,
assaulting a cop. You're going in for a long time.
So he convinced you to join him?
Did you think you'd get your old job
back? -What?
With Babayof. We know everything.
Start talking. -I don't know Babayof.
You don't feel like talking to me?
Telling me who sent you?
No one sent me. -So what
were you doing in the apartment?
A robbery.
I'm not lying to you.
I happened to see the door open.
I walked in. -Really.
Who sent you?
That's all I want to know.
Then we can make a deal. No one is
really interested in you, believe me.
You know who this is? -No.
-Roni Leskov. Don't know him?
If I bring in his girlfriend for an
ID line-up, she won't recognize you?
I don't know. -With your past, you're
going to sit for a long time, Abramov.
So you don't feel like talking to me
and telling me who sent you?
I'm telling you, it's just by chance.
-Just by chance, huh? -What?
I don't know what
you're talking about.
You're scared of Babayof. -Who?
-You didn't hear me? -Babayof?
You kill for Babayof.
I didn't kill for anybody.
Not even for Babayof?
-Not even for Babayof.
I see.
So you're not going to tell me
who sent you.
I'm telling you everything, just not
what you want to hear.
You think I'm stupid, but I'm not.
So do you have everything you need?
-Give me a minute.
I'll tell you everything.
I don't kill for anyone.
I kill for...
For Babayof.
Okay.
Avramov opened up. He's talking
about Babayof. -What?
"I'll tell you everything. I kill for
Babayof. " -Should I continue?
Because he's spilling the beans.
-The bastard. I'll kill him.
We only want to know who is
Babayof's contact person.
Avramov.
Avramov is Babayof's contact.
You think I know any of them?
"Avramov is Babayof's contact.
"You think I know any of them?"
Son of a bitch.
Did they tell you to kill the girl?
Did they show you a photo?
Benny, I'll kill you! I'm going
to finish you off, Benny. -Stop it.
Cut it out. Stop. -Quiet.
-Enough.
What do you mean? -It's listed
under other people's names
but everything here belongs
to him and the family.
We're talking about millions. -Yes.
Ezra, come here for a second.
How are you? Are they taking care
of you? -Yes.
What do you say? -She knows a lot.
Is Sheinberg going to prison?
-I think so. -Good.
Avramov and the other clown were
sent by Babayof. That's all we've got.
They must have gotten a call from
a guy who was in jail with Danny Babayof.
A little weak. It doesn't connect us
directly to Sheinberg. -We'll continue.
Are you all right? -Yes.
I'm all right.
Hello.
I checked out your suspicions.
-And? -You're right.
It's not surprising.
There are holes in the story. -But
what are you going to do about it?
I'll check a few details. Coordinate
versions. -And then what?
I don't work for you, Sharon.
-Too bad. We'd make a good team.
If we were a team, I'd tell you it
doesn't end with Arik. -What?
It's Berkovitz, too, for example.
-What are you trying to say, Ezra?
Berkovitz always protects Arik.
Have you noticed? -He trusts him.
I expected more from you. -Nothing
personal against Berkovitz, okay?
Bye.
Hello. -Leave the envelope
by the barrel.
But there's money inside, too.
-Don't worry. Leave it. -Okay.
A professional.
Hello, Michal. This is Ezra.
How are you doing?
Listen. I want some data
about mobile phones.
No, no. I don't have a warrant.
But I will. I promise.
I know it's not allowed, Michal,
but I'm asking you for a favor.
It's for a cop over here.
Arik Arbel.
I need his mobile data for
a certain night, with locations.
He wife is certain he's cheating on
her. She doesn't believe he was working.
Yes, I swear. Thanks. Thanks.
Are you writing this down?
Why are you here? -Two of your
guys are in jail. Assaulting a cop.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
If you want to meet, we can make
an appointment. -I don't have time.
Right.
We have chess classes for adults, too.
-Aren't you going to say anything?
In the afternoon, and in the evening,
too. -Are you involved with Sheinberg?
There are beginners classes
and also advanced classes.
I helped you when you needed it.
-I didn't ask for your help.
You said to stay at the unit.
I'm trying to protect you.
Listen to me.
Am I in danger? -You don't want to
know. You're in enough trouble as it is.
Maybe I want to be in trouble.
-Don't get involved in this case.
Do you understand me?
You're worried. -Very. About you.
Take care of yourself.
Hello. -Arik, where are you?
-At work. Why?
Are you with the witness? -Yes.
-Good. Be careful. It won't end
with the two they sent after you.
-How do you know? -Rumors.
Anatoly?
You know I can't give you details.
-What exactly did he say to you?
Just a feeling. -But it is Anatoly,
right? -Does it matter?
What is he to you? -A kind of source.
What are you going to do?
I thought we were on a break. -Okay.
I still have feelings, you know?
I understand. -Is that all
you're going to tell me?
You know the feeling's mutual.
-And I don't want you to die, okay?
That would be a bummer, huh?
-Yup. Be careful. -I'll try.
It's here. -Is there a back entrance
to the building? -Yes.
Keep your head down. -What?
-Keep your head down.
Where is the back entrance?
-Over here on the right.
I'll go up with you. Pack a bag and
we're out of here. -To where?
Don't worry.
For how long? -Less than a week,
until we bring you to the judge.
Where are you taking me?
-Don't worry. To a safe place.
You look nervous.
-No. I'm tired.
Lihi, everything will be all right.
Do you have a hoodie?
Where? -I also need a few things.
Close the door.
Sharon Even, what are you doing here?
-You don't answer my messages.
I'm busy. -I came to question
Inspector Arik Arbel.
What's he to you? -Arik?
-Yes. -Just doing my job.
You're pretty enthusiastic. Anything
going on between you? -Where is he?
He's in the middle of an operation.
If you find him, tell him
that I'm looking for him too.
I know that you're protecting him.
-I protect all my men.
The era of cops like you and Arik
is over.
Today Arik Arbel will answer
everything I want to ask.
Weren't you once Sharon Even Levi?
Did you get a divorce?
Hurry up. I have a warrant.
Sorry about the mess.
-No problem.
Is that your kid?
Yes. -Cute.
Are you divorced? -Yes.
Why do you do everything alone?
-Because I believe you.
What do you mean? -I believe you
that he has connections
inside the force and if they know
where you are, you'll be in danger.
Thanks.
Come on. Let's go.
Kid, what's going on?
Why aren't you in school?
Good. Come. Come.
Follow me. Come.
Are you Mika? Arik's neighbor? -Yes.
What's going on?
Believe me. You don't want to know.
Okay. It looks like we'll manage.
What's going on? Is someone
following you? -Not any more.
Hello?
Hello. -Arik? -Hi, dear.
-Are you all right?
Yes. -Everyone's looking for you.
You're not answering your phone. -Sorry.
Sharon Even is at the station. She
has a warrant to question you. -Oh?
Yes. Berkovitz didn't have a choice.
-I see.
Are you coming back to the station?
-Negative. -Are you with Lihi? -Yes.
Where will you take her? -To a safe
place until she testifies before a judge.
You don't want to tell me? -Lital,
a safe place. Better that you don't know.
Okay. Fine. Take care of yourself,
okay?
You're the second person who's told
me that today. I'm starting to worry.
Who else told you?
-Bye, Lital.
Who was that? -A colleague.
Take the next exit.
What did he say? -He didn't say
where he was.
What did I tell you? -I'm sure
he has a good reason.
Of course. There are always good
reasons. -He's guarding a witness.
Alone? Makes sense. -The last
witness in the Sheinberg case
was found headless in a garbage truck.
Another collapsed in a prison shower.
Where is he going? -I can guess.
-Where?
He'll go to a safe house down south.
He has a friend in Eilat. Go there.
You're a terrible liar.
-It's just a guess.
I have 7 years of interrogation
behind me and one lying husband.
Do you really think
you can lie to me?
I'll send a team down to Eilat right
now. If you're lying
forget about everything I promised.
How about that? -Go for it.
We already have a tap on his phone
and we know
he's in the opposite direction.
He's probably going to his father's.
You are a disappointment. -No way.
-I really wonder what makes
so many people want to lie for him.
-Maybe he's not an asshole, like you.
So when you slept with him, was it
for me or was it for you?
I just want to know what kind of a
story you're telling yourself.
Good luck in Jerusalem.
Just a second.
Arik. What a surprise. -Dad.
I need your help.
It's about time. I've been waiting
for 20 years to hear that.
I'm Reuven Sheinberg,
from the housing expansion committee.
How is your son doing?
Yes. Shmuel. -That Arbel.
Where is he? -I don't know.
Well, you should know that I always win.
And whoever doesn't help me
on the way will not survive.
Is your son here?
-They don't keep you updated?
Say hello to Reuven Sheinberg.
What is he doing here?
We have to warn Arik.
The man can shoot a fly
from 300 yards away.
I'm the State, Shumi.
It's the type of gun that shot
at Babayof. -Really?
We know who is helping out
the contractor involved in murder.
Sheinberg, deputy housing minister?
We've never dealt with this level
of corruption before.
Basically, Sheinberg is the most
powerful man in the government.
Do you realize
who we're dealing with?
One corrupt cop
working for the Mafia
means a corrupt country.
-Good luck.
I heard that your friend Arik is
involved in a complicated case
that has to do with
the deputy minister of housing.
It's a problem. Especially with all
those internal investigations of his.
Talk to him. Maybe he can
lay off the case.
Then the case against him can go
on the back burner as well.
You wanted to talk to me outside
of the station. Talk. -I want you
to find out what happened between
Arik and Babayof and how did the gun
that shot Babayof end up
in the hands of the Ukrainians.
Do you have something for me?
-Don't you care that you're taking out
a policeman who's working on
a corruption investigation right now?
You're involved in the Sheinberg case,
right? -Yes. Who is this?
I have something for you.
Who is that journalist?
Roni Leskov.
There's a journalist who won't stop
talking bad about us.
That journalist has to get
a message. -I understand.
Are you Leskov? -Yes.
Son of a bitch. -Roni!
There's something about a weapon
sold to a guy named, Shumi.
Something dirty. I don't know
any more. -Excellent.
Hello, what do you want? -There's
a gun that was problematic.
It went to a guy named Shumi.
What do you want? -The gun they
found on you was involved in a murder.
That's Shumi's gun, you morons.
Didn't they take that gun
when you were arrested? -Sure.
Arbel. You know? The crazy one.
So? -What happened?
-Nothing. A small confrontation.
I heard you went to talk to Sammy.
-Who told you that?
Anything you want to tell me?
Maybe you know what this is?
A revolver.
Sammy said Shumi had a gun like this
when he was arrested. It disappeared.
What are you trying to say? -The story
about Babayof's shooting doesn't jive.
Maybe you can explain it?
What's going on, Shumi?
Is everything all right?
-You can see.
What happened, exactly?
One of your detectives visited Sammy.
-Who? -Maybe Simantov.
Ezra, yes. What did he want? -To ask
Sammy questions about his gun.
Sammy told him it wasn't his gun.
He told him it was my gun.
When did that happen?
-Yesterday.
Okay. -And today, Simantov called my
sister. Wants to talk to me.
She wasn't home.
He left a message.
Go away for a while, Shumi.
Take a vacation. -A vacation?
Yeah. Go to Tiberias. -I don't want
to get in trouble anymore, okay?
That's why it's best if you
disappear for a while.
What if he catches me? -Who? Ezra?
-Yes.
Tell him you threw the gun in the
bushes before they arrested you.
Hey. You're not suspected of anything.
You know that, right?
And thanks for calling.
I'm done with that stuff. Understand?
-Yes. It's over. It'll be all right.
Disappear and say what I told you.
Believe me. It's not your problem.
Bye, bro'.
Ezra was at Sammy's. He could have
figured out the thing with the gun.
No one knows how long he's
suspected it. -We have to consider
all the options. Could be
that he knows everything.
That he connected all the dots.
-The Ukrainians had the gun.
The case is closed. -Yes, but nothing
really fits if you dig deep enough.
Ezra is digging, thank God.
-He can take it to Internal Affairs.
No. First he has to ask Shumi. It's
good that he's looking for him.
It means he's not certain.
-What do you want to do?
We need to move Ezra aside.
Or you could make a deal
with Sheinberg.
What?
I got a call from a guy who used to
be a cop. Now he's gone private.
Sheinberg is scared of the case
against him. He wants to make a deal.
Is that what he told you?
-He hinted.
He knows pretty well
that he can't say it straight out.
Sheinberg would close the case
against you. You'd get off clean.
In exchange, I'll push off
and close the investigation on him.
Right. Everything disappears. Ezra,
Sharon Even, Internal Affairs. Over.
When did he tell you that?
-About a week ago.
I didn't think it meant anything
until now.
What do you say? -I'd rather deal
with Ezra than with Sheinberg.
But what can you offer Ezra?
-Sheinberg.
We don't have Sheinberg.
-But Ezra doesn't either.
We have to get our hands on the
witness in the Housing Ministry.
You don't even know who it is.
-He called me. On a Talkman.
Okay. We need him to call again.
Then we'll trace the call.
If we had Roni, he would publicize
something on his blog.
He's still in the hospital,
unconscious.
Gurevitch could operate Roni's blog
by remote.
Or you could make a deal
with Sheinberg.
Sorry, Motti. It's not me.
-I know.
Is this legal? -Of course. - I'm
breaking in and writing in his name.
Gurevitch, keep typing.
-Okay.
So why aren't we at the police
station? -Oh...
What did I tell you? Huh?
You came at the right time.
Lihi!
Did you read that? -Aren't you
worried that someone switched him?
I don't care about who writes on the
internet. We stopped them.
Bring me glasses.
You're joining us, right?
Tomorrow, all the papers will run it.
-Litzman says he still didn't get
a final notice. -Lawyers. They have
to be careful. This is good news.
Maybe make reservations at
Chelnov. We'll go and celebrate.
Why don't you come along?
It will be nice.
Cheers, everyone!
Spicy as hell. Any Coke?
-There's diet.
Okay. Why not?
Shit.
An unlisted number.
Got it?
Hello.
Yes, yes. I made a deposit.
It's the bank.
This story could take days.
-Yeah, right.
This operation is messing up really
your schedule. Hey, there. -What?
Yeah. -Where. -There.
-Is it out?
The bank is driving me crazy.
Hello?
Arbel? -Yes.
Do you know who this is? -Yes.
-The case is closed. I heard.
Not exactly true. -You're not doing
your job.
I'm doing everything I can.
-I'm taking risks. You're not.
Listen. We need someone who will
testify. Paperwork isn't enough.
I gave you everything.
Let me tell you something, okay?
We're processing all that
information, understand?
But it will take time.
No one will want to talk.
So threaten them. -That's what
we're doing. Believe me.
Bring Sheinberg in for interrogation.
Let him sweat.
I'll need a lot more than this
to bring him in.
So bring in other people.
Do your job.
Lihi.
Hello? The call was disconnected.
Who were you talking to?
-No one. Just the insurance.
Now? It's eight at night.
Didn't you go to Chelnov? To the
restaurant? -I forgot my phone.
What phone is that? -It's my...
spare phone. When mine breaks.
I didn't know it was broken. -It
didn't. It just causes me problems.
Lihi, go home. Rest up.
It's late.
Here's the number. -Call it.
Call it. Call it. Now.
No answer.
There was something weird about his
voice, right? -I think so too.
Maybe it's a "she," not a "he?"
-Was it disconnected? -Yes. I heard
voices. Maybe he was scared.
-He's going to dump the phone.
And then what? -He'll buy a new one.
Where did they buy that phone?
A store in Modi'in. -Okay. Let's go.
-Come on. Get to work.
Forget that. Forget it.
Let's go.
Stop the car. Here. Here.
10 minutes till closing. -Maybe
we missed him? -He'll be here.
There. -Show me.
I told you it could be a woman,
didn't I?
Is that her? -No, I don't think so.
Too old.
There.
Show me. -She seems pretty upset.
Who is that?
-She looks familiar.
What is she doing? -Buying a phone.
-Can I see?
That's Sheinberg's PA.
Lihi Guterman.
She's leaving.
-Let's follow her.
Weren't we on this street already?
Modi'in. It all looks the same.
-Find out where she lives.
Don't move. Are you all right?
Thanks. -They've already
been arrested.
How are you? -Okay.
Could you identify those guys?
-I don't know then.
Do you know why they came
to your apartment?
You know it wasn't just an attempted
robbery. They wanted to kill you.
Afterwards, they would have
staged a robbery.
We know those guys very well.
Lihi, you realize that the game
ends today, right?
Who else in Sheinberg's office
knows that you spoke to the police?
I don't know what you're talking
about. I thought the case was closed.
Lihi, stop playing games.
It's over.
They'll kill you.
You need our protection.
You'll never manage to take him down.
-I think we will
and I think you know it, too.
That's why you called us.
We can take him down
if you talk.
Now you really don't have anything
to lose, right?
The worst has already happened.
They failed.
Can you make a connection between
Sheinberg and Babayof? -I'm not sure.
And the corruption in the Housing
Ministry? -Yes. -Hachuel? -Yes.
That's it. He's done for. It's over.
-It's not over until he's behind bars.
If you talk, it will be over.
He's very smart and very well
connected. -It won't help him.
A trial could take years. -Okay.
That's why we can also take
preliminary testimony. -What's that?
-When a witness is in danger like you,
we bring him before a judge
and he testifies before the trial.
But I'll have to testify again
in any case.
Maybe, but there would be no reason
to hurt you. The testimony was given.
Don't you want to know why I'm doing
this? -Only if you want to tell.
Because he disgusts me.
That's a good reason.
Tell Lital to put those shitheads
in different rooms. -Done.
She's willing to talk.
Okay. -Do you know where Ezra is?
-Are you ready? -Let's hope so.
So? -What happened? -Just
a little confrontation. It's nothing.
I heard you went to talk to Sammy.
Who told you that?
Is there anything
you want to tell me?
Maybe you know what this is?
A revolver.
Sammy said Shumi had a gun like this
but it disappeared after the arrest.
What are you trying to say? -The
story about Babayof doesn't jive.
Maybe you can explain it?
You know what? I'll let you choose.
Choose? -I'll let you choose
what you want more.
To catch Sheinberg, or to catch me.
-What does that mean?
Our witness, D from the Housing
Ministry? I know who it is.
Who? -Let's say he's in my car right
now, debating whether to testify or not.
Who is it? -He's willing to talk and
if he does, Sheinberg goes down,
goes to prison for a long time.
Isn't that what you want?
Who is it? -But if I get sucked into
a mess of investigations right now
and Internal Affairs starts chasing
me, then you know what happens.
The witness backs down,
shuts up, disappears.
And then the entire investigation is
tainted because it looks like
the detective who's investigating
the politician
is just as dirty as he is.
And then, we all lose.
You know that.
They'll shut us down.
Sheinberg will manage to get off.
Who knows? Maybe in a few years
he'll become Prime Minister.
So I'm letting you choose who you
want to bring down. Sheinberg or me.
You won't get both.
Ezra, I have a plan
that even Sheinberg can't stop
and Berkovitz can't get in the way.
We're going to use it right now.
Understand, Ezra. Together, we can
bring down Sheinberg
and we don't have a lot of time.
The witness is in the car.
Did you shoot him?
Was it in self defense?
Me or Sheinberg. Decide
what is more important to you.
Was it in self defense? Answer me.
-Me or Sheinberg.
I need time to make up my mind.
-We don't have time.
We have to work fast or Sheinberg
will start to move.
He knows we have a witness.
He won't wait for our next move.
Five minutes. Either join me
and we'll bring down Sheinberg
or you want me. Choose.
Hello. -Hello. -It's me. I understand
that you've already heard.
Can they connect it to us? -No.
But she's at the station and she's
talking. They also got 2 of our guys
so you can never know.
Okay, listen. We have too many
interests at risk.
I want you to get rid of her
and make sure it's done right.
It's much more complicated now.
-No, it's not a problem at all.
I already spoke with someone who
can't be connected to us. -Who?
The Indian. You know
who I'm talking about. -Yes.
He needs details.
Will you give him the details?
You know that Arbel is guarding her
now. -Okay. So take him out, too.
That cop caused us too many problems.
I want him dead. -Okay.
Hello. -Hello, Zidan? -Huh?
This is the Russian friend of the guy
who talked to you.
I have the details of the job for you.
Okay. We're done with that.
Now tell me
which one of these accounts
is fictitious? -All of them.
What's going on, Abramov?
I don't know anything.
Breaking and entering, assault,
assaulting a cop. You're going in for a long time.
So he convinced you to join him?
Did you think you'd get your old job
back? -What?
With Babayof. We know everything.
Start talking. -I don't know Babayof.
You don't feel like talking to me?
Telling me who sent you?
No one sent me. -So what
were you doing in the apartment?
A robbery.
I'm not lying to you.
I happened to see the door open.
I walked in. -Really.
Who sent you?
That's all I want to know.
Then we can make a deal. No one is
really interested in you, believe me.
You know who this is? -No.
-Roni Leskov. Don't know him?
If I bring in his girlfriend for an
ID line-up, she won't recognize you?
I don't know. -With your past, you're
going to sit for a long time, Abramov.
So you don't feel like talking to me
and telling me who sent you?
I'm telling you, it's just by chance.
-Just by chance, huh? -What?
I don't know what
you're talking about.
You're scared of Babayof. -Who?
-You didn't hear me? -Babayof?
You kill for Babayof.
I didn't kill for anybody.
Not even for Babayof?
-Not even for Babayof.
I see.
So you're not going to tell me
who sent you.
I'm telling you everything, just not
what you want to hear.
You think I'm stupid, but I'm not.
So do you have everything you need?
-Give me a minute.
I'll tell you everything.
I don't kill for anyone.
I kill for...
For Babayof.
Okay.
Avramov opened up. He's talking
about Babayof. -What?
"I'll tell you everything. I kill for
Babayof. " -Should I continue?
Because he's spilling the beans.
-The bastard. I'll kill him.
We only want to know who is
Babayof's contact person.
Avramov.
Avramov is Babayof's contact.
You think I know any of them?
"Avramov is Babayof's contact.
"You think I know any of them?"
Son of a bitch.
Did they tell you to kill the girl?
Did they show you a photo?
Benny, I'll kill you! I'm going
to finish you off, Benny. -Stop it.
Cut it out. Stop. -Quiet.
-Enough.
What do you mean? -It's listed
under other people's names
but everything here belongs
to him and the family.
We're talking about millions. -Yes.
Ezra, come here for a second.
How are you? Are they taking care
of you? -Yes.
What do you say? -She knows a lot.
Is Sheinberg going to prison?
-I think so. -Good.
Avramov and the other clown were
sent by Babayof. That's all we've got.
They must have gotten a call from
a guy who was in jail with Danny Babayof.
A little weak. It doesn't connect us
directly to Sheinberg. -We'll continue.
Are you all right? -Yes.
I'm all right.
Hello.
I checked out your suspicions.
-And? -You're right.
It's not surprising.
There are holes in the story. -But
what are you going to do about it?
I'll check a few details. Coordinate
versions. -And then what?
I don't work for you, Sharon.
-Too bad. We'd make a good team.
If we were a team, I'd tell you it
doesn't end with Arik. -What?
It's Berkovitz, too, for example.
-What are you trying to say, Ezra?
Berkovitz always protects Arik.
Have you noticed? -He trusts him.
I expected more from you. -Nothing
personal against Berkovitz, okay?
Bye.
Hello. -Leave the envelope
by the barrel.
But there's money inside, too.
-Don't worry. Leave it. -Okay.
A professional.
Hello, Michal. This is Ezra.
How are you doing?
Listen. I want some data
about mobile phones.
No, no. I don't have a warrant.
But I will. I promise.
I know it's not allowed, Michal,
but I'm asking you for a favor.
It's for a cop over here.
Arik Arbel.
I need his mobile data for
a certain night, with locations.
He wife is certain he's cheating on
her. She doesn't believe he was working.
Yes, I swear. Thanks. Thanks.
Are you writing this down?
Why are you here? -Two of your
guys are in jail. Assaulting a cop.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
If you want to meet, we can make
an appointment. -I don't have time.
Right.
We have chess classes for adults, too.
-Aren't you going to say anything?
In the afternoon, and in the evening,
too. -Are you involved with Sheinberg?
There are beginners classes
and also advanced classes.
I helped you when you needed it.
-I didn't ask for your help.
You said to stay at the unit.
I'm trying to protect you.
Listen to me.
Am I in danger? -You don't want to
know. You're in enough trouble as it is.
Maybe I want to be in trouble.
-Don't get involved in this case.
Do you understand me?
You're worried. -Very. About you.
Take care of yourself.
Hello. -Arik, where are you?
-At work. Why?
Are you with the witness? -Yes.
-Good. Be careful. It won't end
with the two they sent after you.
-How do you know? -Rumors.
Anatoly?
You know I can't give you details.
-What exactly did he say to you?
Just a feeling. -But it is Anatoly,
right? -Does it matter?
What is he to you? -A kind of source.
What are you going to do?
I thought we were on a break. -Okay.
I still have feelings, you know?
I understand. -Is that all
you're going to tell me?
You know the feeling's mutual.
-And I don't want you to die, okay?
That would be a bummer, huh?
-Yup. Be careful. -I'll try.
It's here. -Is there a back entrance
to the building? -Yes.
Keep your head down. -What?
-Keep your head down.
Where is the back entrance?
-Over here on the right.
I'll go up with you. Pack a bag and
we're out of here. -To where?
Don't worry.
For how long? -Less than a week,
until we bring you to the judge.
Where are you taking me?
-Don't worry. To a safe place.
You look nervous.
-No. I'm tired.
Lihi, everything will be all right.
Do you have a hoodie?
Where? -I also need a few things.
Close the door.
Sharon Even, what are you doing here?
-You don't answer my messages.
I'm busy. -I came to question
Inspector Arik Arbel.
What's he to you? -Arik?
-Yes. -Just doing my job.
You're pretty enthusiastic. Anything
going on between you? -Where is he?
He's in the middle of an operation.
If you find him, tell him
that I'm looking for him too.
I know that you're protecting him.
-I protect all my men.
The era of cops like you and Arik
is over.
Today Arik Arbel will answer
everything I want to ask.
Weren't you once Sharon Even Levi?
Did you get a divorce?
Hurry up. I have a warrant.
Sorry about the mess.
-No problem.
Is that your kid?
Yes. -Cute.
Are you divorced? -Yes.
Why do you do everything alone?
-Because I believe you.
What do you mean? -I believe you
that he has connections
inside the force and if they know
where you are, you'll be in danger.
Thanks.
Come on. Let's go.
Kid, what's going on?
Why aren't you in school?
Good. Come. Come.
Follow me. Come.
Are you Mika? Arik's neighbor? -Yes.
What's going on?
Believe me. You don't want to know.
Okay. It looks like we'll manage.
What's going on? Is someone
following you? -Not any more.
Hello?
Hello. -Arik? -Hi, dear.
-Are you all right?
Yes. -Everyone's looking for you.
You're not answering your phone. -Sorry.
Sharon Even is at the station. She
has a warrant to question you. -Oh?
Yes. Berkovitz didn't have a choice.
-I see.
Are you coming back to the station?
-Negative. -Are you with Lihi? -Yes.
Where will you take her? -To a safe
place until she testifies before a judge.
You don't want to tell me? -Lital,
a safe place. Better that you don't know.
Okay. Fine. Take care of yourself,
okay?
You're the second person who's told
me that today. I'm starting to worry.
Who else told you?
-Bye, Lital.
Who was that? -A colleague.
Take the next exit.
What did he say? -He didn't say
where he was.
What did I tell you? -I'm sure
he has a good reason.
Of course. There are always good
reasons. -He's guarding a witness.
Alone? Makes sense. -The last
witness in the Sheinberg case
was found headless in a garbage truck.
Another collapsed in a prison shower.
Where is he going? -I can guess.
-Where?
He'll go to a safe house down south.
He has a friend in Eilat. Go there.
You're a terrible liar.
-It's just a guess.
I have 7 years of interrogation
behind me and one lying husband.
Do you really think
you can lie to me?
I'll send a team down to Eilat right
now. If you're lying
forget about everything I promised.
How about that? -Go for it.
We already have a tap on his phone
and we know
he's in the opposite direction.
He's probably going to his father's.
You are a disappointment. -No way.
-I really wonder what makes
so many people want to lie for him.
-Maybe he's not an asshole, like you.
So when you slept with him, was it
for me or was it for you?
I just want to know what kind of a
story you're telling yourself.
Good luck in Jerusalem.
Just a second.
Arik. What a surprise. -Dad.
I need your help.
It's about time. I've been waiting
for 20 years to hear that.
I'm Reuven Sheinberg,
from the housing expansion committee.
How is your son doing?
Yes. Shmuel. -That Arbel.
Where is he? -I don't know.
Well, you should know that I always win.
And whoever doesn't help me
on the way will not survive.
Is your son here?
-They don't keep you updated?
Say hello to Reuven Sheinberg.
What is he doing here?
We have to warn Arik.
The man can shoot a fly
from 300 yards away.
