Downtown Precinct (2011–2015): Season 3, Episode 4 - Episode #3.4 - full transcript

In previous episodes:

I heard that the story with Sergei
is over.

He knew about us and tried to
blackmail me. -They'll find you.

If you're so worried about me,
hold them off. It's your unit.

Berkovitz is going to transfer me.
-You have to stay there.

Arik and I are together and Berkovitz
knows that. -So you'll leave the unit

just because of Arik?
-I love him.

Isn't he the type of guy
who goes from one girl to the next?

We've never dealt with this level
of corruption before.

He is the most powerful man
in the government.

What's going on? -I can't talk about it.
It's with International Crime now.



I initiated that investigation.
Why did they give it to you, not me?

It wasn't my idea.
-Who suggested it? -Arik.

How is Babayof connected to Sheinberg?
-I don't know what you're talking about.

I'll make it brief, Anatoly.
I'm going to talk to Asrian and tell him

your daughter's in the force.
He'll think you're working for us anyway

so why don't you work for us from the start?
Your daughter is in danger.

Would you really put her life
at risk? -Try me.

Your cop friend is here. -Who?
-The hot head.

Berkovitz. -Berkovitz.

You're early, Arik. -Yes.

Did you see the rain? -Yeah.
-It's going to be like that all night.

Good I'm not on patrol.
When I was on patrol, I hated the rain.

It was cold, wet, just awful.
I only had bad luck when it rained.

So what is so urgent tonight?



Do you have any plans?
-I promised Tali we'd go out to eat.

I talked to Anatoly.
-He won't tell you anything.

That's true, but I found out a few
other things. -Like what?

Remember two years ago when we had
trouble catching Babayof

and I said someone was leaking
information? -Yes.

I thin I know who did it.
-How did you find out?

What's the difference?

What did you find out?
-What do you think?

Turn off the recorder.

Turn off the recorder.

Do you have another tape?

Who knows about this? -Right now?
Only me. -What do you want?

First, I want to know what happened.
-It's not what you think.

What happened? -I'm not responsible
for my past. -What happened?

Anatoly gave up a big weapons
shipment in Ashdod for us.

It was an issue of national security.

In return, I gave him a certain
amount of protection.

That's why Babayof is a free man?
-Sometimes, that's the deal

we have to make
and you know it as well as I do.

Dozens of automatic weapons,
rifle magazines...

It was the largest cache we've
ever intercepted in this country.

Can you imagine what would happen
if those weapons got on the streets?

Do you realize how many people
would have died? I had to do it.

Don't you understand?

How do you think it will look
if it ever becomes public?

Why are you smiling?

Maybe because
I knew it would happen eventually.

What do you want, besides
hanging me? What do you want?

I want to enlist Anatoly. -That's not
going to happen. -Oh, yes it will.

It's already happened, no? -You have
no leverage over him. -Yes I do.

Alex?

Why? What do you know?
-What is she to him?

She's his daughter. -Not true.
-Yes.

Are you sure?
-Yes.

Are you two still together?
-Not anymore. -What are you planning?

If Anatoly doesn't help us now,
I'm going to tell Babayof about Alex.

Really? -That's what I'm going
to tell him. -I see.

Why now? -Babayof has an infection
in his wound.

What does that mean?

He's in the hospital right now for
a small operation. General anesthesia.

If anything happens to me,
take care of Danny.

He'll be under for seven hours.
He won't know what's happening to him.

No one will be in control.
He won't know where Anatoly is.

And Anatoly will be here.
-They already went to get him.

We have 7 hours to break the guy.
To turn him.

That's why you need me.
-You and all your secrets

And if not, you'll go public
and expose me. -Exactly.

I guess I won't be going out to eat
with my wife after all.

I don't think so.

What a rain storm.
Such a crappy night.

Six hours and forty minutes.

Alshinsky,

how are you?

How is your boss?

You've been in the business
for a long time but there's one thing

that I don't understand.
Maybe you could explain it to me.

What do all of you think?

Who?
-The criminals.

I mean, what do you think
you'll get out of all this?

Did you think no one would notice?

Like... one day you'll just retire?

What's the story here?

Don't worry. He's still in surgery.
We're keeping track of him.

That's your tactic. -Yes.

To bring me here, to start talking to me,
maybe I'll say something.

I won't say anything.

I have nothing to say.
Talk to my lawyer.

Are you worried that we're filming this?
That we're recording you?

I have nothing to say. -Did you think
about what we discussed at the club?

Are we done with the small talk?
-Did you think about your daughter?

I told you already.
I'm not going to cooperate.

Because a few new things came up.
-Like what?

About your daughter.

Who else is watching us right now?
-What difference does it make?

Who? -No one.

I don't believe you.

Don't you want to know
what's in that envelope?

No.

You should. Okay.

I'll go outside now.
I'll leave you here with the envelope.

If you want to, have a look.
If you don't, then don't look.

Pick up the envelope already.
Pick it up.

Good luck.
-He'll open it.

No he won't.
-That's impossible.

Okay then. Time for Plan B.
-Wait.

This is Gabi Shmuelov.
Put him in Interrogation Room 4.

I'm going to get changed.
-The interrogation rooms are all full.

What? What happened? -Berkovitz
asked. Something classified.

Okay. Put him in our office,
but don't let him run away.

Did you look?
-What?

We found out
someone's following her.

Maybe you were the one photographing
her. -We use digital surveillance

after your transmissions,
you don't know everything.

Babayof received those photographs.
He orders the surveillance.

I don't know what you're talking about.
-Not everything goes through you.

It was someone you don't know,
and he's following her.

Meanwhile, he hasn't caught
the two of you together, but he will.

And when he does,
he'll know what's going on.

Who took the pictures?

I'm not going to tell you.
-Does she know she's being used as bait?

Who took pictures of her?
-I'm telling you this

because when violence becomes
an option, we let you know.

So nice of you.
-It's our responsibility.

What happened? -It's the rain.
It will come back right away.

I want to talk to Berkovitz.
-No problem. I'll get him.

Go get him now. -Okay.
But if you think

that just because you helped catch
some weapons two years ago

everything will just go away,
you're wrong.

A committee checked it and cleared
him of all accusations. He's clean.

So bring him here now.

He's scared. -I'm not so sure.
-Wait.

Let him stew for a while. Let him
think about what might happen next.

Let his imagination work.

What's going on?
-Alex, I have an interrogation.

The rooms are locked?

Yes. Something came up
but I might need you.

Why are you so wet?
-We were following those guys

who sold khat juice in the shops.
-Did you catch anyone?

Yes. Someone tried to run away
in the rain. -Tell me if you need me.

Who is being interrogated?
-It's classified. -Can't you tell me?

No, not now, but I might need you
to join us later so don't leave.

Tell me. -I said not now.
-The paperwork is ready.

Good. -Should I bring it
to Berkovitz? -Yes.

Does she know? -Alex, this is
classified. You don't have clearance.

I see.

Is it authorized by the state attorney?
-Yes. -Okay. I'm going in.

No. I'm sorry, Lital.
You have to leave.

But you said... -It's not personal, Lital.
You know that.

How are you, Anatoly?
-What is this nonsense?

It's not nonsense
and we don't have a lot of time.

What do you want?

You've helped us in the past.
-Okay, but Babayof knew that.

Loyalty is important.
I'm all for loyalty.

But we have a problem.
It can't work like this anymore.

This is an offer to become a state
witness. -My lawyer has to see it.

I hope you mean your lawyer,
not Babayof's lawyer.

You'll be pardoned for all
your previous crimes

on the condition that you tell us
everything and Babayof goes to jail.

They'll kill me. -We'll protect you.
-Like you protected your last witness?

We'll transfer you overseas.

What about my daughter?
-What do you want?

I want to talk to her.

Okay.
-Privately.

I don't know anything about khat juice.
What it is anyway?

It's like a drug. -Really?
-Really.

What were you doing over there?
-Yeah, Shmuelov, what were you doing?

Peeking at us? -It's a free country.
I like to walk around.

Why were you walking around there,
of all places?

I love pretty girls. -Are you hitting
on me? -Why not?

You don't have anything on me.
-Alex, I need you. -I'm busy.

Now. It's urgent.
-It's okay. I'll stay with him.

Don't be sad.
I'll be back in a few minutes

and I'll want to know exactly what
you were doing there. -Stop smiling.

So? What's the big surprise?

Alex. -You are a real
son of a bitch, you know?

You could have part
of the whole thing. You refused.

I'm not going to cooperate with you.

Come here. -Leave me alone.
-Stop yelling already.

He almost agreed. -What?
-He almost agreed.

Agreed to what?
-To be a state's witness.

He just wanted to talk to you.
Calm down.

Do you expect me to convince him?
-That would help.

I'm going to tell him the truth.
-Tell him whatever you want.

He and I talk in private.
No one listens in.

On the roof.
-Whatever you say.

I'm sorry.

That's okay.
It's not your fault.

What did they offer you?
-State's witness.

They'll hide me abroad.
-And if you say no?

They claim that someone
is following you.

They said Babayof sent someone.

They didn't say anything to me.
-Because they're using you or lying.

Why would Babayof put me
under surveillance?

To check if we were meeting up.
-And then what?

After that, all the possibilities...
are bad ones.

What are they saying? -Nothing.
-How did you even get a mike on her?

When we were fighting.

You are a real bastard.

Do you think someone ratted on us?
-I hope I shut that down.

Sergei?
-Not here.

-They're not listening.
-You can never know.

Do you think Sergei contacted
Babayof?

I don't know. I hope not.

Who is Sergei? -A murder case
from two months ago.

Motti's investigation.
-Did he take him out? -It's logical.

So what do you want to do?
-I need to see if that guy is for real,

that guy who is following you.

Didn't they show you pictures?

It doesn't matter.

Even if they're lying,
it means they're serious.

Your friend is going all the way
with this, huh? -He's not my friend.

Are you sure? -Do you realize
what situation he put me in?

I think I know what to do.
-What?

I'm not going to tell you.

Are you certain about that Sergei?
-No.

What happened?
-The rain makes the power go out.

It's not right, what they did.
-That's how it goes.

They even didn't warn me that
someone was following me.

They just used me as bait.

Do you really think
that someone's following you?

I don't know.
I would have noticed.

They didn't give you a description?
-They gave a name. I don't know him.

They could have made it up.
-What's his name?

Shmuelov. Shmuelov.

Shmuelov? -Yes.

This is Gabi Shmuelov.
What were you doing there?

I like pretty girls.
-Are you hitting on me?

Wait here.
I know who that is.

What happened? -You bastards.
-What? -You used me as bait?

We're not sure. -Not sure.
It's Shmuelov, the guy I arrested.

He has nothing to do with khat juice.
I couldn't imagine why he'd follow me.

Calm down. Listen, it's better
he doesn't know about us.

What? -Think about it.
He doesn't know we are on to him.

Let's use that
during the interrogation.

That's exactly what I'm going to do.
-Alex.

Alex.

Motti. Motti.
-What? -What happened?

Dude, are you okay?
-What happened?

It was dark. I suddenly
got punched in the face.

Where is Shmuelov? -I don't know.
I think he ran away, the bastard.

How did that Shmuelov manage to get
loose in a second? -It's not hard.

You're not going to shoot him.
-Don't worry. -I need him alive.

I see you don't care about me,
anymore. -You'd be surprised.

Where are you going? -Back to Anatoly.
The clock is ticking.

Seal off the exit
so he doesn't escape.

What happened? -Everything's okay.
-I need to get back to the hospital.

I know. -Did you manage to talk?
-Yes. -Don't go up by yourself.

Who are you looking for?
-It doesn't concern us right now.

You're running a circus.

Motti, where are you?

At least the rain has stopped.
Spread out.

All's clean over here.
-Here, too.

Listen. Stay here in case he returns.
I'm going back down. Okay.

You've played all your cards.
-We still have time.

Your boss is still under.
-They'll notice if I'm not there.

We don't have time.
-We have enough.

I'm not going to sign anything.
-I understand that.

So what do you want?

Let's start with you giving us a tip
about Babayof.

And then what?
-Then I'll know you're serious.

It's not happening.
I won't say a thing.

I explained to you about
your daughter, didn't I?

You realize she's in danger.

I told you.
You've played all your cards.

Maybe tell us who took out
Sergei?

Who?

Sergei Hodovitz.
We found his body.

I don't know who that is.

You don't know him?

We may have met once.

We know it was you.
We have fingerprints.

Where?
-Where do you think?

You're making a mistake.
-Why?

Probably because
you're nervous.

Explain my mistake.

It's a mistake to tell a lie
during an interrogation.

How do you know it's a lie?
Did someone talk to you?

Help you escape interrogation?
-I decided to remain silent.

You exposed yourself. -How exactly?
-You're not trustworthy.

You are a liar.
-So let me tell you the truth.

I love your daughter. -Really?
-Yes. Really.

I love Alex a lot and if you keep
going this way, she'll get hurt.

That's the truth and you know it.
After all, you're a criminal.

Anatoly, I'm offering you a way out
of jail that will save your daughter.

That's the truth.

You can't even
run a police station,

and you want me to put my daughter's
life in your hands?

You don't have any choice.

I do. You'd be amazed.

Take me back to the hospital.
My patience is wearing thin.

Yariv, where are you?

Yariv.

Yariv.

I'm here.

Is he there? -Negative.

Where in the hell...

What? -The mjmjmj.... -What?

The mjjmjjmj... -What?

Don't move.

That's not part of the plan, is it?
-No.

You messed things up
but it's not too bad.

We try to help, darling.

Exactly how do you think you'll
get out of this if you don't sign?

There are solutions for everything.
-Like with Sergei.

You listened in on our conversation.
-Which conversation?

Alex and I.
Your word is worthless, huh?

Did you take him out?

You and Alex...
a new type of love.

Sergei, did you take him out?

Alex, he's on the roof.
Go on up..

Good luck.

He's cute. -That's cute?
-Give thanks that you're alive.

Alex!

Shit.

He doesn't have a pulse. -You killed
him, dude. -He aimed.

We need a paramedic on the roof.
Someone's wounded.

What happened? -Motti shot him.
-What? -He was aiming at Alex.

How did he get a gun?
-He took advantage of the dark.

What do you mean? Go down, Alex.
-I want to be here.

I sent you to finish the case about
khat juice and this is what happens?

Arik took me... -Go back down,
that's an order. -I'm staying here.

If your career is important to you,
go down now. Now. Go back down.

I want to hear the real reason
for what's happening here, Motti.

Alex.

Alex.

Why did you push me? -He almost
shot you. You should thank me.

You put me in danger. -No. I saved
you. -No. Motti saved me.

You knew someone was following me.
You knew and this is what happened.

You didn't want to cooperate.
-So you forced me?

I didn't have a choice.
-What happened? -Lital, stay here.

What happened? -Shut up.
-Alex, calm down.

I want to talk to Anatoly.
-And tell him what?

He needs to know this.
He knows, in any case.

What's with her? -Let it go.
You don't want to know.

I do want to know.
You don't tell me anything.

Lital, we don't have time.

Shmuelov is dead.
He tried to kill me.

They're listening to us.

Do whatever is good for you.

Don't trust me.
Don't trust Arik.

Don't trust anyone.

We're all alone.

You're not alone.
As long as I'm here you're not alone.

Don't contact me
in the next few days.

And take care of yourself.
You'll be okay, I promise.

You killed him.
-My partner.

I had no choice.
Babayof's guy tried to kill Alex.

It surprised you.

Sergei.

How did you kill him.
It's interesting.

You are crazy.

You know that he was chasing her
and you continued to endanger her.

Ivanov, bang.

You took him out, too?

And the murder of the two dealers
in Jaffa two years ago?

You do it alone
or with someone else?

The guy who was killed in the fire.

You knew he was there.

What? Should I continue?

You have two options:

One, you go to jail
for a really long time.

Alex gets kicked off the force
and she in constant danger for life.

You, of course, can't see her
and I won't be there next time

to protect her from
Babayof's people.

In the second option,
you give me Babayof.

You get settled in abroad
and Alex stays alive.

Everyone is happy.
Flowers and balloons.

Which do you choose?
-But why did you put her in danger?

I didn't put her in danger.
I didn't send anyone to follow her

or try to kill her
that was your boss.

Okay, but you knew about it
and you let it happen.

Why?
-I want Babayof.

More than anything? -Yes, yes.
Nothing is going to stop me.

Do you want to stand in my way?

Why?
-He killed my father.

And he killed my cop.

What do you say?

We don't have much time.

I'm not signing anything.

I also don't trust you.
Your word isn't worth a thing.

In a few hours, a big deal
is going down. -What deal?

Drugs. International.
I'll give you a tip like you asked.

Then we'll see how you manage.
-Are you putting me to a test?

And if I pass? -We'll see.

It's time.

What's going on? -I'm busy.
You left me completely in the dark.

That's how it goes sometimes.
-Sometimes is all the time, I see.

What do you want from me?

Why did Ezra transfer
to International Crimes and not me?

Ezra has seniority.
-It was my case.

I'll talk to them. -Who told them
that Ezra should get the job?

Do you really think I have any pull
with the International Crimes Unit?

Do you believe Ezra?

You knew that I'd be here tonight
that it would annoy Alex.

What's going on with you two?
-You don't know everything, okay?

It was all a trick to annoy her?
You used me. -Maybe.

I prefer to be told next time.
-That's not always possible.

I'm starting to understand why Alex
said you're a problematic guy.

She said that? -Girls talk, you know?

Oh. So now you're friends.
-No, we're not.

I know. Ezra told me.
-What did he tell you?

That you told him that
Alex broke into Anatoly's office.

Well, it's true. Why do you protect her?
-She deserves to be protected.

Why are you doing that?
Did you act like that in your last unit?

I knew I shouldn't have told you.
-You'll turn on me, too, in the end.

They murdered someone, Arik.
They deserved it. Believe me.

The question is why do you blame me
but protect that frigid bitch?

Will he make it on time?
-Yes, Babayof still didn't wake up.

You're a real bastard
for what you did tonight.

I didn't have a choice.
-Will it work?

I think so.

If they start investigating,
it could end in a deposition

or in court.
-I didn't have a choice.

I don't understand it.
You got me tangled up in it, too.

He killed our cop, Berkovitz.
-It is worth it? -What?

You burned me.
Tonight, you burned me.

You put Alex in danger.
You ruined her. You used Lital.

Your wife and kid already left you.
Your dad is dead.

In the end, what will you have left,
Arik? Have you ever thought about it?

This is what I have.
This is what I'm good at.

Damn it. The fucking rain.

Alex, are you still here?

Anatoly.

How do you feel?
-The same.

Did I miss anything?
-It rained.

So it's all over?
-It looks like it.

Damn it.
This crap doesn't come off.

Are you going back to Eilat tonight?
-Yes. -A cab is waiting.

Thank you, Shmuelov. -No problem.
It was exciting.

Wait a minute, Arik.

She doesn't suspect anything?
-Alex? No.

That old Russian does, but he thinks
we really put her in danger.

When will you tell her that her life
was never in danger?

That Babayof never meant
to send anybody?

I don't know.
Maybe never.

She wouldn't believe me anyway.

She can never know.
Never.

It's annoying because really,
it's all for her own good, right?

She's getting dragged in even if she
doesn't notice. -Lousy business, huh?

Did we do the right thing?
-There was no choice.

No, there wasn't.

Without a direct threat on Alex,
he wouldn't have been convinced.

I'm ready.
-Okay. -Okay.

You know? I've been thinking
of something. -What?

Anatoly could turn on us.

What do you mean?

He could decide that going with us
is a bad thing. -And then?

That actually, his problem is Babayof,
not us.

That he'd be better off killing
Babayof, taking over his business.

That really is a problem.
Good night.

In the next episode:

Two injured.
ISA warnings posted this morning.

It's still not over.
It seems like there's another suicide bomber.

Police. Open up!

They tried. Emergency.

Your brother is holding
the cards, a dirty cop.

Come, come.

He's on the way to you.
Nine. Eight.

You bring me the second
suicide bomber.

Where are you, motherfucker?

Who's there?
