Line in the Sand (2021): Season 1, Episode 5 - As Far as Possible - full transcript
While this series was
inspired by actual events,
the characters and some of
the events are fictional
and any resemblance between them
and reality is a coincidence.
Previously -
Our goal is to let him
feel he's got an enemy.
Once he's scared, he'll
start slipping up,
and that's all we need
to put them in jail.
I need to know who they were.
I wanna see that bastard with
my own eyes and bury him.
Alon Shenhav, Intel Investigations.
- Romano, National Police.
The National Police
are all around us.
We must find out what
they're thinking.
Any leads?
- Nothing.
I know how to take Ezra down.
The person cutting deals for him
is a lawyer named Ariel Nevo.
This lawyer is a partner at
a small real-estate firm,
"Galilee Developers", which could
mean that Ezra himself is a partner.
Ezra won't let it get to court.
Once he hears that this lawyer is
interrogated, he'll blow the city.
If you've given up,
why are we still here?
I need you to bring us something from the base.
-I can't...
A demolition block.
Nobody can help me!
Not your dad, nobody!
If you tell him,
they'll kill me!
See? It wasn't that difficult.
Nissim Binyamini... How
long has he been in office?
What's your name, son? -Alon Shenhav.
- Send your mom my regards.
My late dad wanted to
work for the municipality.
Now his son runs the place.
It's a shame to go against them,
haven't you learned that lesson?
Say what?!
- Have a nice day.
Ziskind works fast, huh?
Soon we'll really start
moving things around.
You wanna use the
momentum to arrest him?
Ezra is at his most vulnerable.
You think this is a game?
Someone came here and
dragged this city into war.
My only interest is to
prevent the next explosion.
Until then, I don't want to
hear about this "opportunity".
Isn't that his wife's SUV?
Let's prepare another bomb.
- Already have.
Let's get started.
What's up, Romano?
- You tell me.
LINE IN THE SAND
Sweetie, it'll be fun,
you'll go to the beach...
Take her to see the dolphins.
When are you coming?
A few days. Taking care of
business, then I'll come get you.
I'm worried about you,
honey. Stay alert, okay?
Come and get us quickly.
Soon, sweetie,
I'll surprise you.
I'll pick you up in the
new car I'm getting you.
Take care of yourself.
- Will do, honey.
Hungry?
Starving.
What's up?
- He hasn't left the house all day.
Nice place, Reuven,
but why so neglected?
Needs renovation.
- It's bigger than my place.
And cleaner.
See the guards?
He checks everyone
entering the building.
We scared him straight.
- It's about time.
It better not deter him
from leaving the house.
He sent the wife and kid
away first thing today.
He's up to something, Alon.
Question is, will he work alone?
He's bound to get
his hands dirty.
He wouldn't trust his
gofers on this one.
Not when he already
suspects them.
What we told the National
Police has reached Ezra:
They say he believes
it was an inside job.
His troops are shaking
in their boots.
Good luck to both parties.
We need to tighten it, Edri.
Tell them we gathered evidence
on someone in his organization.
Well well, look who's here.
Who's that?
The new municipality director.
- Ezra's puppet.
Why the municipality?
We need ears inside
that apartment.
He's too careful about
these things, Alon.
Strip. -What?
- Strip.
They frisked me downstairs.
- I said, strip.
You should've gone with her.
- To Eilat? Like hell I would.
Wherever. You can't stay
here, Maor, it's too risky.
I can set you up in Acre.
I ain't hiding from anyone.
- Wanna be cooped up here all day?
If I run away, the guys will think
they can do whatever they want.
They won't, 'coz I'm here.
We have to keep
making the rounds,
so they don't think we folded.
- I'll send collectors.
Liraz...
Do you trust your guys?
Zohar, come here.
Amit...
Join them, make it
quick and come back.
What's up, Bauman?
Good news?
- You bet.
I've moved up the "Heart of
Nahariya" discussion to next week,
and, God willing, Galilee
Developers will win the tender.
Good job, Ziskind.
Hopefully, the
committee won't object.
I've waited a long
time for this project.
I'd really hate to be let down.
It's okay, I've got
them on a short leash.
See that? "Rosenthal"
think they can scare me.
You don't know it's them, Maor.
- Who's Rosenthal?
It was all because
of the project.
Rosenthal Construction are
trying to scare me off.
Rosenthal?
But they're the old generation,
built half of Nahariya.
He's right.
- That's just it, it annoys them.
But to go as far as to blow...?
- It's them, I tell you!
They found some chump
to do their dirty work.
But they can't scare me.
Maor Ezra fears nobody but God.
Good morning.
- Good morning.
Any news?
- In progress.
Word on the street is that
Maor might know who did it.
We should wire his place.
If we know who he suspects,
we can take that person
in before Maor retaliates.
Can you do that?
I doubt we have an
excuse to enter his home.
Ezra isn't the suspect here.
Getting a warrant won't be easy.
Gotta explain to the
judge that it's urgent.
Try. I'll talk to
Weinberg if need be.
"Rosenthal Construction Ltd."
Any witnesses?
- Nothing.
They're collecting CCTV footage.
But why the Rosenthal offices?
Miki discovered that
Ezra is a silent partner
at some real-estate firm.
Why didn't you say so?
- What's the difference?
What's the firm's name?
- "Galilee" something.
Edri, I'm on my way to the hospital. Find out what happened.
-Okay.
We should've rubbed Ezra out.
So what if "Galilee"
wins next week's tender?
It's a huge project.
If Maor wins it, he
becomes a millionaire.
He'd be in a league of his own.
He won't have kids with stolen M-16s
as his troops, he'll build an army.
And it'll be impossible
to ever take him down.
He'll be untouchable, with
cops and judges in his pocket.
What do we do?
I'll try to postpone the tender.
- How? -With Miki's help.
Look, his reaction proves that
he's panicking, it's progress.
As of tonight, we continue
to have all eyes on him.
Seems like he doesn't
plan to exit the house.
And still he managed to execute this
operation right under the radar.
Cheer up, we're so close.
If he simply leaves the
house with explosives,
meets with an arms dealer
or goes to threaten someone.
It's all we need.
There isn't much detail
about the incident.
We know that people
have been wounded,
but not if there are any fatalities.
The police still has no suspects.
It's unclear if this is related
to the recent explosions...
Ketchup, come here.
- Ketchup.
Ketchup, are you
making trouble again?
You'd better not. Come.
Where's Tom?
- Upstairs.
Miki, you were right about
Ezra's real-estate involvement.
Should've listened to you.
It gets even worse. I'll come
with you to Haifa tomorrow,
we must stop the tender before...
- We've closed the case.
What? Why?
- You said it's a waste of time.
I was wrong...
- Too late.
We're done here, Alon.
I can't leave now.
Then stay.
- What do you mean?
Stay, if you want. Tom and
I can't live like this.
Miki, you don't
really mean that.
You grew up here, your
parents live here,
you feel responsible, I get it,
but how much longer will
we have put up with this?
Look, I know it seems scary...
It's not just that, Alon.
Since we got here, I feel
like I'm with somebody else.
You've been distant,
can't look me in the eye.
What's with you?
I'm sorry. You're right.
But no matter what,
we must stay together.
So come with us.
No.
You weren't supposed
to hear this.
When were you gonna tell
me, the day we leave?
We're just thinking
about it for now.
Nothing conclusive.
Scoot over.
How would you feel about
returning to Tel Aviv?
I know it's hard to
keep switching schools,
but right now, being
here is dangerous,
we have to take
that into account.
I'm here if you want
to talk about it.
I'm staying here.
I'll stay at Grandma's.
Tom...
Can you get out?
Alon Shenhav wants
to talk to you.
Let him in.
Good morning, is this a bad time?
- No, come in.
I need help, gotta talk
with the mayor ASAP.
Need his number?
- Tried it, he won't answer,
and his office won't
tell me where he is.
Can't the police find
out these things?
Maybe through Intelligence,
but it'd take time.
I have a better idea.
His daughter is a teacher here, right?
-Alon...
Just ask her where he is.
What do I tell her?
- That she has to trust you.
She's in class.
- Sigal, it's really important.
I wouldn't ask otherwise.
Yes?
- Call Osnat over, please.
Thanks. Sorry for
springing this on you.
Should I pull her out of class?
- Yes.
Sharabi. -Moti.
- Can't believe it.
Bring it in!
What's up?
- Been years, huh?
Still here? -Where else?
- Good on you, man.
How are the players?
- Not bad.
We brought two from Haifa. Got a strong team.
-Well done.
To what do I owe this honor?
You kept pushing to
get new players...
You keep telling me
how great they are
and we keep losing...
Mr. Mayor, you know Alon?
- Sure, the officer, we've met.
He used to be a kick-ass player.
Did you send your mom my regards?
- She sends warm regards back.
We just discussed what happened at the construction site.
-Horrible.
I spoke with your commander as
well. We must solve this problem.
That's actually why I'm here.
Can we talk?
"The Heart of Nahariya"
is this town's future.
Young couples, families,
new workplaces, jobs...
I don't want to postpone it.
Just postpone the committee meeting
about the tender by 2-3 months.
We need time to work.
- 2-3 months is a long time.
I've got contractors
breathing down my neck.
They lose out on every
day they don't build.
Sir, think of everything
you've done for this town.
It's all in jeopardy now.
If Galilee Developers win the tender,
Maor Ezra will be unstoppable.
Look, I told Poleg that
Maor Ezra isn't the problem,
he's not out to make a big fuss,
he's someone you can reason with.
The issue is that someone's going
against him, causing the problem.
It's him you must find.
Binyamini, I love you, man!
- Thank you!
Drink water, guys, it's hot outside!
- Number 1 mayor!
Thank you, buddy.
They work hard.
Sir, if Ezra wins this
project, he will own this town,
and all reasoning will
go out the window.
He'll stop at nothing.
He'll be powerful enough
to bribe everyone.
He will run this town and
everyone will work for him.
Sir, I'm asking you
to help me stop him.
Before it's too late.
I swear I did
everything I could,
but Binyamini decided to
postpone it by a month.
Why now?
He turns a blind eye as long
as things are done quietly,
but the "Rosenthal" explosion...
It was on the
news, it looks bad.
Do we still win the tender?
To be honest, I don't know.
- So what good are you to me?!
Are you a municipality
director or a pushover?!
It's fine, we'll hold out a month.
- No, I'm at war here!
I can't leave family in Eilat for a month!
-Then join them.
I wanna talk to him.
- Maor...
Don't mess with him.
- We shouldn't go against him.
Not against him. Just to explain
the situation and let him decide.
Will your grandma let
you stay at her place?
Yes, but my parents
won't, for sure.
If you leave, I'm skipping town.
What do you mean?
I'm here only because of you.
These guys are on my back,
do this, do that,
involving me in things...
and I can't say "no".
They've made me their gofer.
I can't go on like this.
Where will you go?
I don't know. Far away.
I could sleep in my uncle's SUV.
It's old, but it works.
He'd let me have it.
So you'd live in an SUV?
I don't know.
Tom...
Don't cry.
It's Ziskind.
Yes, what did he say?
Okay.
He said no?
Binyamini says that he's made
his decision and it's final.
Said that he's sure there'll
be other opportunities,
and that this project
is out of your league.
Here's to Binyamini.
- To Binyamini.
I bet Ezra is shocked.
- Yep.
Might even get him
out of the house.
Even so, at least we got
his hands off the project.
For now.
We were gonna get
an apartment there.
In "The Heart of Nahariya"?
- Yep.
Dasi had it all planned out.
Asked her parents to
chip in, the whole deal.
When I realized it'd
be Ezra's project,
it broke my heart. She's
been dreaming about it.
Caressing her belly and
picking out furniture...
When is she due?
- In three weeks.
Don't give up on it yet,
it could still work out.
Start from the end,
it'll be easier.
Swear you won't
tell Dad about this.
Mom, swear.
If the police gets word
of this, they'll kill him.
Who?
- He's a good person,
he really is, if you
saw him, you'd get it.
You have to help him.
-Who? Your boyfriend? You have a boyfriend?
He's their neighbor,
they took his army rifle
and now they're making him do stuff...
-Who is?
Maor Ezra's troops, Mom.
I'm scared that
they'll kill him.
I forbid you to talk to him or
see him ever again, you hear me?!
What? Mom...
-I don't know who he is, but you're through!
But you promised you'd help me!
Whether I can help or not,
you will not mix with
these people, you hear me?!
Give me your phone!
How stupid of me to think
I could confide in you!
Give me your phone, now!
Tom, open the door!
Tom, open the door!
I have no time, I just got
back from the convention,
just now, I'm on my way back.
We waited two hours for the
minister who never showed up,
for crying out loud.
It was just a matter of time until
these gangsters get Binyamini.
I've said this before - we
must treat this incident
as an act of terror in
every sense of the word.
The police cannot give
these criminals free reign!
"Surgical Ward C"
Police, I have to go in.
Have you no shame? You
almost got him killed!
I need to talk to him.
- Read my lips:
He doesn't want
anything to do with you!
My dad nearly died! How
dare you show up here?!
Shame on you!
The man's in critical condition.
Just leave!
You almost got him killed!
Go away!
Is it final?
- He restored it.
Send him my best wishes...
Said that someone pressured
him into postponing it.
Who?
"Shenhav"
Nice and quietly...
Let him know he's in our thoughts.
- Will do.
Binyamini is such a wimp.
-They tried to kill him, of course he wimped out.
We can't seem to get
him out of the house.
If it passes the committee
next week, it's game over.
We have to reach his
doorstep, where he can't hide.
We're not doing that.
- Let's force him out, Alon.
He'll go mad and personally retaliate.
-Forget it.
Alon, if we don't stop him now,
he'll become an unbeatable monster.
Unlike now?
The guy planted explosives,
injured civilians, shot the mayor,
and we couldn't prevent
any of those actions.
We try pushing him to do
one thing, he does another,
and people are getting hurt.
What did we do all this
for, and got this far?
Because we had to try.
And we gave it every last shot.
I went as far as I could.
Did things I'd never
dream of doing,
but it failed.
We lost.
We must admit defeat.
So this is it?
I asked if this is it.
I spoke with him. It'll be sorted out today.
-Good.
Hungry?
- No, thanks.
Bauman, come here a sec.
Snir...
I need to go out alone tonight.
Out? How?
Somewhere nearby. It won't
take long. It's important.
Okay, but why alone?
I don't trust any of them.
Forget it, it's too risky.
At least let me come along.
Bauman, it's a family
affair, I want privacy.
At least say where, so I can
get there in an emergency.
Not a word to your guys.
I'm taking my mom and sister
to visit my dad's gravesite.
You know my mom,
it comforts her.
This is exactly what
I feared would happen:
things escalated, we
failed to stop it,
and now the mayor
is in the hospital.
You're over-simplifying.
- We've got no suspects
or intel about any
actions on his side,
and the town is blowing up!
- Let's get things straight:
Regarding the mayor,
another team is on it, and
they need time to get results.
Regarding Ezra's wife's SUV,
Forensics say it was done
by those behind the other explosions,
because they used they same bomb.
Our current lead is that
it was an inside job,
which also makes tracing
difficult with no intel.
But it won't stay
a secret for long.
If we don't find the
culprits, Ezra will.
That's all we need...
Third, the explosion in mid-town
has a different profile,
it was an IDF demolition block,
which may or may not be connected.
Sure it is, it's Ezra's work.
- Most likely, but we can't prove it.
Nothing from the wire-tapping at his home?
-Nope.
Ezra's home?
You got approval to tap it?
- They planted it this morning,
when they came to ask
about the mayor's shooting.
Why didn't you say so?
- It was on a need-to-know basis.
But not us?
In any case, they got
nothing, he's very careful.
Can we listen to the tapes?
- Yes, but it's a waste of time.
What do I tell Weinberg?
Shenhav, first finish the report
on the construction site explosion.
Yes, Weinberg?
I'll go there to listen to the
tapes, just to make sure we're safe.
Thanks, bro.
Look to your right.
Are you ready? Got everything?
I don't know.
Then we'll get stuff on the way.
Tom?
My dad will have the entire
police force search for me,
it'll only hold you back.
But you've gotta go, don't
stay here because of me.
Hold on, I'll come say goodbye.
Tom Shenhav, come here a sec.
Are you Tom Shenhav,
from 10th grade?
What do you want from me?
Tell your dad we've
got you in our sights.
Don't you touch
her! Son of a bitch!
Amit, stop! Please, I beg you!
Amit, enough!
Amit!
You're gonna kill him! Stop!
Hi, Sigal.
-Listen, there's been a fight at school.
Students?
You'd better get here.
- On my way.
We arrested a guy for assault,
Amit Golan, ID number:
0322...
She's fine, they didn't touch her.
- Thanks.
Call me if you need anything.
I'm done here, Alon.
- We'll talk later. -I'm not waiting.
Miki, nobody's leaving today.
Dad, where's Amit?
- In custody.
Will you help him?
- Tom, I have to go.
What else has to happen
for the penny to drop?
They're threatening your daughter!
You know how this could've ended.
I'm not sending her
to school tomorrow.
Look, we just need
to calm down now,
and later on, decide what to do.
- Forget it, Alon.
When they targeted your team
and the station, I stayed,
the town is burning down
and we're still here,
but Tom is where I
draw the line, Alon!
We can't just hop
in the car and go.
I have to find that guard
in the hospital before...
Who cares about him?!
What's the point?!
We have to get outta here, now!
You'd leave your
job just like that?
I've already handed
in my resignation.
I won't let that son of
a bitch scare us away.
Why not? Aren't you scared?
I am, I'm scared to death.
We'll talk about it
when I get back, okay?
Dad, wait...
Please, help him, he was
just trying to protect me.
Help him.
- I'll handle it.
Promise me.
- Tom, I promise.
The guard from
the high school...
around two hours ago...
Where is he?
- Never arrived.
But the ambulance brought him here.
- Must've fled.
Have you seen a guard in an "Arayot Security" shirt?
-I asked.
Let's try his home.
-If he fled, he won't be there either.
Look, he's just one of Ezra's gofers.
- I don't care.
Hello?
Miki?
- Yes.
Are you driving?
Yes.
I'm sorry, Alon.
Miki, what are you doing?
I told you I can't
hold out any longer.
Where are you?
- We've passed Haifa.
Miki, pull over and let's talk.
There's nothing to talk about.
Are you going to your parents?
Miki?
What are you gonna do?
Will you join her?
Alon, are we done?
If so, I'd better return
the guns to the station.
Having them just
puts us at risk.
I went through every tape. Romano
was right, there's nothing.
It's mostly inaudible. The mic
was inside a fridge magnet.
At one point it sounded like he's
up to something, so secretive,
but it was only a visit
to his dad's gravesite.
Secretive?
-He didn't want anyone to know where he's going,
doesn't trust them.
Told only Bauman.
Did he say when he's going?
"Cemetary"
Run to the car!
Wait, let him reach the car.
Now, from the front,
so he sees it.
What do you say?
Will he take the bait?
Just now! I'm driving back
with my mom and sister!
Did you see who it was?
- Where's Bauman? -Left an hour ago.
Well, get him and prepare
the troops, Nissan!
Where are you, Maor?
- At the cemetery.
Those shameless
bastards ambushed me!
How'd they know you're there?
- I guess we have a mole!
Did anyone know where you were going?
- Only Bauman.
Son of a bitch!

Previously -
Our goal is to let him
feel he's got an enemy.
Once he's scared, he'll
start slipping up,
and that's all we need
to put them in jail.
I need to know who they were.
I wanna see that bastard with
my own eyes and bury him.
Alon Shenhav, Intel Investigations.
- Romano, National Police.
The National Police
are all around us.
We must find out what
they're thinking.
Any leads?
- Nothing.
I know how to take Ezra down.
The person cutting deals for him
is a lawyer named Ariel Nevo.
This lawyer is a partner at
a small real-estate firm,
"Galilee Developers", which could
mean that Ezra himself is a partner.
Ezra won't let it get to court.
Once he hears that this lawyer is
interrogated, he'll blow the city.
If you've given up,
why are we still here?
I need you to bring us something from the base.
-I can't...
A demolition block.
Nobody can help me!
Not your dad, nobody!
If you tell him,
they'll kill me!
See? It wasn't that difficult.
Nissim Binyamini... How
long has he been in office?
What's your name, son? -Alon Shenhav.
- Send your mom my regards.
My late dad wanted to
work for the municipality.
Now his son runs the place.
It's a shame to go against them,
haven't you learned that lesson?
Say what?!
- Have a nice day.
Ziskind works fast, huh?
Soon we'll really start
moving things around.
You wanna use the
momentum to arrest him?
Ezra is at his most vulnerable.
You think this is a game?
Someone came here and
dragged this city into war.
My only interest is to
prevent the next explosion.
Until then, I don't want to
hear about this "opportunity".
Isn't that his wife's SUV?
Let's prepare another bomb.
- Already have.
Let's get started.
What's up, Romano?
- You tell me.
LINE IN THE SAND
Sweetie, it'll be fun,
you'll go to the beach...
Take her to see the dolphins.
When are you coming?
A few days. Taking care of
business, then I'll come get you.
I'm worried about you,
honey. Stay alert, okay?
Come and get us quickly.
Soon, sweetie,
I'll surprise you.
I'll pick you up in the
new car I'm getting you.
Take care of yourself.
- Will do, honey.
Hungry?
Starving.
What's up?
- He hasn't left the house all day.
Nice place, Reuven,
but why so neglected?
Needs renovation.
- It's bigger than my place.
And cleaner.
See the guards?
He checks everyone
entering the building.
We scared him straight.
- It's about time.
It better not deter him
from leaving the house.
He sent the wife and kid
away first thing today.
He's up to something, Alon.
Question is, will he work alone?
He's bound to get
his hands dirty.
He wouldn't trust his
gofers on this one.
Not when he already
suspects them.
What we told the National
Police has reached Ezra:
They say he believes
it was an inside job.
His troops are shaking
in their boots.
Good luck to both parties.
We need to tighten it, Edri.
Tell them we gathered evidence
on someone in his organization.
Well well, look who's here.
Who's that?
The new municipality director.
- Ezra's puppet.
Why the municipality?
We need ears inside
that apartment.
He's too careful about
these things, Alon.
Strip. -What?
- Strip.
They frisked me downstairs.
- I said, strip.
You should've gone with her.
- To Eilat? Like hell I would.
Wherever. You can't stay
here, Maor, it's too risky.
I can set you up in Acre.
I ain't hiding from anyone.
- Wanna be cooped up here all day?
If I run away, the guys will think
they can do whatever they want.
They won't, 'coz I'm here.
We have to keep
making the rounds,
so they don't think we folded.
- I'll send collectors.
Liraz...
Do you trust your guys?
Zohar, come here.
Amit...
Join them, make it
quick and come back.
What's up, Bauman?
Good news?
- You bet.
I've moved up the "Heart of
Nahariya" discussion to next week,
and, God willing, Galilee
Developers will win the tender.
Good job, Ziskind.
Hopefully, the
committee won't object.
I've waited a long
time for this project.
I'd really hate to be let down.
It's okay, I've got
them on a short leash.
See that? "Rosenthal"
think they can scare me.
You don't know it's them, Maor.
- Who's Rosenthal?
It was all because
of the project.
Rosenthal Construction are
trying to scare me off.
Rosenthal?
But they're the old generation,
built half of Nahariya.
He's right.
- That's just it, it annoys them.
But to go as far as to blow...?
- It's them, I tell you!
They found some chump
to do their dirty work.
But they can't scare me.
Maor Ezra fears nobody but God.
Good morning.
- Good morning.
Any news?
- In progress.
Word on the street is that
Maor might know who did it.
We should wire his place.
If we know who he suspects,
we can take that person
in before Maor retaliates.
Can you do that?
I doubt we have an
excuse to enter his home.
Ezra isn't the suspect here.
Getting a warrant won't be easy.
Gotta explain to the
judge that it's urgent.
Try. I'll talk to
Weinberg if need be.
"Rosenthal Construction Ltd."
Any witnesses?
- Nothing.
They're collecting CCTV footage.
But why the Rosenthal offices?
Miki discovered that
Ezra is a silent partner
at some real-estate firm.
Why didn't you say so?
- What's the difference?
What's the firm's name?
- "Galilee" something.
Edri, I'm on my way to the hospital. Find out what happened.
-Okay.
We should've rubbed Ezra out.
So what if "Galilee"
wins next week's tender?
It's a huge project.
If Maor wins it, he
becomes a millionaire.
He'd be in a league of his own.
He won't have kids with stolen M-16s
as his troops, he'll build an army.
And it'll be impossible
to ever take him down.
He'll be untouchable, with
cops and judges in his pocket.
What do we do?
I'll try to postpone the tender.
- How? -With Miki's help.
Look, his reaction proves that
he's panicking, it's progress.
As of tonight, we continue
to have all eyes on him.
Seems like he doesn't
plan to exit the house.
And still he managed to execute this
operation right under the radar.
Cheer up, we're so close.
If he simply leaves the
house with explosives,
meets with an arms dealer
or goes to threaten someone.
It's all we need.
There isn't much detail
about the incident.
We know that people
have been wounded,
but not if there are any fatalities.
The police still has no suspects.
It's unclear if this is related
to the recent explosions...
Ketchup, come here.
- Ketchup.
Ketchup, are you
making trouble again?
You'd better not. Come.
Where's Tom?
- Upstairs.
Miki, you were right about
Ezra's real-estate involvement.
Should've listened to you.
It gets even worse. I'll come
with you to Haifa tomorrow,
we must stop the tender before...
- We've closed the case.
What? Why?
- You said it's a waste of time.
I was wrong...
- Too late.
We're done here, Alon.
I can't leave now.
Then stay.
- What do you mean?
Stay, if you want. Tom and
I can't live like this.
Miki, you don't
really mean that.
You grew up here, your
parents live here,
you feel responsible, I get it,
but how much longer will
we have put up with this?
Look, I know it seems scary...
It's not just that, Alon.
Since we got here, I feel
like I'm with somebody else.
You've been distant,
can't look me in the eye.
What's with you?
I'm sorry. You're right.
But no matter what,
we must stay together.
So come with us.
No.
You weren't supposed
to hear this.
When were you gonna tell
me, the day we leave?
We're just thinking
about it for now.
Nothing conclusive.
Scoot over.
How would you feel about
returning to Tel Aviv?
I know it's hard to
keep switching schools,
but right now, being
here is dangerous,
we have to take
that into account.
I'm here if you want
to talk about it.
I'm staying here.
I'll stay at Grandma's.
Tom...
Can you get out?
Alon Shenhav wants
to talk to you.
Let him in.
Good morning, is this a bad time?
- No, come in.
I need help, gotta talk
with the mayor ASAP.
Need his number?
- Tried it, he won't answer,
and his office won't
tell me where he is.
Can't the police find
out these things?
Maybe through Intelligence,
but it'd take time.
I have a better idea.
His daughter is a teacher here, right?
-Alon...
Just ask her where he is.
What do I tell her?
- That she has to trust you.
She's in class.
- Sigal, it's really important.
I wouldn't ask otherwise.
Yes?
- Call Osnat over, please.
Thanks. Sorry for
springing this on you.
Should I pull her out of class?
- Yes.
Sharabi. -Moti.
- Can't believe it.
Bring it in!
What's up?
- Been years, huh?
Still here? -Where else?
- Good on you, man.
How are the players?
- Not bad.
We brought two from Haifa. Got a strong team.
-Well done.
To what do I owe this honor?
You kept pushing to
get new players...
You keep telling me
how great they are
and we keep losing...
Mr. Mayor, you know Alon?
- Sure, the officer, we've met.
He used to be a kick-ass player.
Did you send your mom my regards?
- She sends warm regards back.
We just discussed what happened at the construction site.
-Horrible.
I spoke with your commander as
well. We must solve this problem.
That's actually why I'm here.
Can we talk?
"The Heart of Nahariya"
is this town's future.
Young couples, families,
new workplaces, jobs...
I don't want to postpone it.
Just postpone the committee meeting
about the tender by 2-3 months.
We need time to work.
- 2-3 months is a long time.
I've got contractors
breathing down my neck.
They lose out on every
day they don't build.
Sir, think of everything
you've done for this town.
It's all in jeopardy now.
If Galilee Developers win the tender,
Maor Ezra will be unstoppable.
Look, I told Poleg that
Maor Ezra isn't the problem,
he's not out to make a big fuss,
he's someone you can reason with.
The issue is that someone's going
against him, causing the problem.
It's him you must find.
Binyamini, I love you, man!
- Thank you!
Drink water, guys, it's hot outside!
- Number 1 mayor!
Thank you, buddy.
They work hard.
Sir, if Ezra wins this
project, he will own this town,
and all reasoning will
go out the window.
He'll stop at nothing.
He'll be powerful enough
to bribe everyone.
He will run this town and
everyone will work for him.
Sir, I'm asking you
to help me stop him.
Before it's too late.
I swear I did
everything I could,
but Binyamini decided to
postpone it by a month.
Why now?
He turns a blind eye as long
as things are done quietly,
but the "Rosenthal" explosion...
It was on the
news, it looks bad.
Do we still win the tender?
To be honest, I don't know.
- So what good are you to me?!
Are you a municipality
director or a pushover?!
It's fine, we'll hold out a month.
- No, I'm at war here!
I can't leave family in Eilat for a month!
-Then join them.
I wanna talk to him.
- Maor...
Don't mess with him.
- We shouldn't go against him.
Not against him. Just to explain
the situation and let him decide.
Will your grandma let
you stay at her place?
Yes, but my parents
won't, for sure.
If you leave, I'm skipping town.
What do you mean?
I'm here only because of you.
These guys are on my back,
do this, do that,
involving me in things...
and I can't say "no".
They've made me their gofer.
I can't go on like this.
Where will you go?
I don't know. Far away.
I could sleep in my uncle's SUV.
It's old, but it works.
He'd let me have it.
So you'd live in an SUV?
I don't know.
Tom...
Don't cry.
It's Ziskind.
Yes, what did he say?
Okay.
He said no?
Binyamini says that he's made
his decision and it's final.
Said that he's sure there'll
be other opportunities,
and that this project
is out of your league.
Here's to Binyamini.
- To Binyamini.
I bet Ezra is shocked.
- Yep.
Might even get him
out of the house.
Even so, at least we got
his hands off the project.
For now.
We were gonna get
an apartment there.
In "The Heart of Nahariya"?
- Yep.
Dasi had it all planned out.
Asked her parents to
chip in, the whole deal.
When I realized it'd
be Ezra's project,
it broke my heart. She's
been dreaming about it.
Caressing her belly and
picking out furniture...
When is she due?
- In three weeks.
Don't give up on it yet,
it could still work out.
Start from the end,
it'll be easier.
Swear you won't
tell Dad about this.
Mom, swear.
If the police gets word
of this, they'll kill him.
Who?
- He's a good person,
he really is, if you
saw him, you'd get it.
You have to help him.
-Who? Your boyfriend? You have a boyfriend?
He's their neighbor,
they took his army rifle
and now they're making him do stuff...
-Who is?
Maor Ezra's troops, Mom.
I'm scared that
they'll kill him.
I forbid you to talk to him or
see him ever again, you hear me?!
What? Mom...
-I don't know who he is, but you're through!
But you promised you'd help me!
Whether I can help or not,
you will not mix with
these people, you hear me?!
Give me your phone!
How stupid of me to think
I could confide in you!
Give me your phone, now!
Tom, open the door!
Tom, open the door!
I have no time, I just got
back from the convention,
just now, I'm on my way back.
We waited two hours for the
minister who never showed up,
for crying out loud.
It was just a matter of time until
these gangsters get Binyamini.
I've said this before - we
must treat this incident
as an act of terror in
every sense of the word.
The police cannot give
these criminals free reign!
"Surgical Ward C"
Police, I have to go in.
Have you no shame? You
almost got him killed!
I need to talk to him.
- Read my lips:
He doesn't want
anything to do with you!
My dad nearly died! How
dare you show up here?!
Shame on you!
The man's in critical condition.
Just leave!
You almost got him killed!
Go away!
Is it final?
- He restored it.
Send him my best wishes...
Said that someone pressured
him into postponing it.
Who?
"Shenhav"
Nice and quietly...
Let him know he's in our thoughts.
- Will do.
Binyamini is such a wimp.
-They tried to kill him, of course he wimped out.
We can't seem to get
him out of the house.
If it passes the committee
next week, it's game over.
We have to reach his
doorstep, where he can't hide.
We're not doing that.
- Let's force him out, Alon.
He'll go mad and personally retaliate.
-Forget it.
Alon, if we don't stop him now,
he'll become an unbeatable monster.
Unlike now?
The guy planted explosives,
injured civilians, shot the mayor,
and we couldn't prevent
any of those actions.
We try pushing him to do
one thing, he does another,
and people are getting hurt.
What did we do all this
for, and got this far?
Because we had to try.
And we gave it every last shot.
I went as far as I could.
Did things I'd never
dream of doing,
but it failed.
We lost.
We must admit defeat.
So this is it?
I asked if this is it.
I spoke with him. It'll be sorted out today.
-Good.
Hungry?
- No, thanks.
Bauman, come here a sec.
Snir...
I need to go out alone tonight.
Out? How?
Somewhere nearby. It won't
take long. It's important.
Okay, but why alone?
I don't trust any of them.
Forget it, it's too risky.
At least let me come along.
Bauman, it's a family
affair, I want privacy.
At least say where, so I can
get there in an emergency.
Not a word to your guys.
I'm taking my mom and sister
to visit my dad's gravesite.
You know my mom,
it comforts her.
This is exactly what
I feared would happen:
things escalated, we
failed to stop it,
and now the mayor
is in the hospital.
You're over-simplifying.
- We've got no suspects
or intel about any
actions on his side,
and the town is blowing up!
- Let's get things straight:
Regarding the mayor,
another team is on it, and
they need time to get results.
Regarding Ezra's wife's SUV,
Forensics say it was done
by those behind the other explosions,
because they used they same bomb.
Our current lead is that
it was an inside job,
which also makes tracing
difficult with no intel.
But it won't stay
a secret for long.
If we don't find the
culprits, Ezra will.
That's all we need...
Third, the explosion in mid-town
has a different profile,
it was an IDF demolition block,
which may or may not be connected.
Sure it is, it's Ezra's work.
- Most likely, but we can't prove it.
Nothing from the wire-tapping at his home?
-Nope.
Ezra's home?
You got approval to tap it?
- They planted it this morning,
when they came to ask
about the mayor's shooting.
Why didn't you say so?
- It was on a need-to-know basis.
But not us?
In any case, they got
nothing, he's very careful.
Can we listen to the tapes?
- Yes, but it's a waste of time.
What do I tell Weinberg?
Shenhav, first finish the report
on the construction site explosion.
Yes, Weinberg?
I'll go there to listen to the
tapes, just to make sure we're safe.
Thanks, bro.
Look to your right.
Are you ready? Got everything?
I don't know.
Then we'll get stuff on the way.
Tom?
My dad will have the entire
police force search for me,
it'll only hold you back.
But you've gotta go, don't
stay here because of me.
Hold on, I'll come say goodbye.
Tom Shenhav, come here a sec.
Are you Tom Shenhav,
from 10th grade?
What do you want from me?
Tell your dad we've
got you in our sights.
Don't you touch
her! Son of a bitch!
Amit, stop! Please, I beg you!
Amit, enough!
Amit!
You're gonna kill him! Stop!
Hi, Sigal.
-Listen, there's been a fight at school.
Students?
You'd better get here.
- On my way.
We arrested a guy for assault,
Amit Golan, ID number:
0322...
She's fine, they didn't touch her.
- Thanks.
Call me if you need anything.
I'm done here, Alon.
- We'll talk later. -I'm not waiting.
Miki, nobody's leaving today.
Dad, where's Amit?
- In custody.
Will you help him?
- Tom, I have to go.
What else has to happen
for the penny to drop?
They're threatening your daughter!
You know how this could've ended.
I'm not sending her
to school tomorrow.
Look, we just need
to calm down now,
and later on, decide what to do.
- Forget it, Alon.
When they targeted your team
and the station, I stayed,
the town is burning down
and we're still here,
but Tom is where I
draw the line, Alon!
We can't just hop
in the car and go.
I have to find that guard
in the hospital before...
Who cares about him?!
What's the point?!
We have to get outta here, now!
You'd leave your
job just like that?
I've already handed
in my resignation.
I won't let that son of
a bitch scare us away.
Why not? Aren't you scared?
I am, I'm scared to death.
We'll talk about it
when I get back, okay?
Dad, wait...
Please, help him, he was
just trying to protect me.
Help him.
- I'll handle it.
Promise me.
- Tom, I promise.
The guard from
the high school...
around two hours ago...
Where is he?
- Never arrived.
But the ambulance brought him here.
- Must've fled.
Have you seen a guard in an "Arayot Security" shirt?
-I asked.
Let's try his home.
-If he fled, he won't be there either.
Look, he's just one of Ezra's gofers.
- I don't care.
Hello?
Miki?
- Yes.
Are you driving?
Yes.
I'm sorry, Alon.
Miki, what are you doing?
I told you I can't
hold out any longer.
Where are you?
- We've passed Haifa.
Miki, pull over and let's talk.
There's nothing to talk about.
Are you going to your parents?
Miki?
What are you gonna do?
Will you join her?
Alon, are we done?
If so, I'd better return
the guns to the station.
Having them just
puts us at risk.
I went through every tape. Romano
was right, there's nothing.
It's mostly inaudible. The mic
was inside a fridge magnet.
At one point it sounded like he's
up to something, so secretive,
but it was only a visit
to his dad's gravesite.
Secretive?
-He didn't want anyone to know where he's going,
doesn't trust them.
Told only Bauman.
Did he say when he's going?
"Cemetary"
Run to the car!
Wait, let him reach the car.
Now, from the front,
so he sees it.
What do you say?
Will he take the bait?
Just now! I'm driving back
with my mom and sister!
Did you see who it was?
- Where's Bauman? -Left an hour ago.
Well, get him and prepare
the troops, Nissan!
Where are you, Maor?
- At the cemetery.
Those shameless
bastards ambushed me!
How'd they know you're there?
- I guess we have a mole!
Did anyone know where you were going?
- Only Bauman.
Son of a bitch!
