Mama's Angel (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Episode #1.9 - full transcript

After revealing a new side of Eitan, she had never seen before, Yael contacts Naama. Nigist and her son's attorney tell Rafa abut the latest developments.

Look, I don't know whether
or not your son is innocent,

but Ilk-now he's been charged with murder
with no admissible evidence.

You knewythis
and only now you show up?

In America,
they'd have fried you by now,

and why?
Because of your miserable face.

So if I'm not nice
then I'm a murderer?

Have you ever met a nice murderer?

Doesn't everyone know you?

You're that has-been singer,
all fragile and sensitive...

- It's OK, nobody told me your«ecret.
- So you just guessed?

- Where'd you say your son was going?
- Rotterdam, to study.



Rotterdam...

- Are you leaving?
- It's not the end of the world.

You can stick a few stamps
on a package and post it over.

Even as far as Canada.

Eitan,
try to turn off your thoughts.

It's not in my head,
it's in my teeth!

I can't take those voices any more.

DR ADAM HAVIVI,
DENTAL AND SOUL THERAPIST

You don't appreciate him.

It must be very frustrating for him,
feeling so small next to you.

But you love it

To help us rule out any doubts

it's best to take bite-mark samples
from anyone who was close to Kfir.

H°wwill that help us?



- Don't you want to know the truth?
-1 already know the truth.

Yael.

-1 got four boxes of this crap.
- No, th nks.

- It's a pity to throw out.
- It's a bigger pity to eat it.

I had to take out a mortgage on these.
You pay by the layer.

This one is a duplex.

How's Amnon doing?

Great. Other than the fact that
they can't hold him down for a minute.

These things take time.

He needs time.
People eventually adapt.

Dina thinks otherwise.
She believes he should live at home.

But she also believes
in giving things time.

She thinks
he'll eventually be normal,

even though
she hates the word "normal".

It's normal to hope
for a loved one to be normal.

How's Eitan doing?

He's disappeared lately,
I never see him.

Times are tough, you know.

I knpw he's sensitive about it,
but I wanted to ask him,

d'd they give him back his medal?

You know, I took it to the police
station without hesitating.

- What's it got to do with you?
- Hasn't he told you?

thought he Md

You didn't go to the dentist,
they called me.

went to someone else

I scheduled you in with Dr Herzman,
I told them it was urgent.

They kept the entire m'orning
open for you, Eitan.

What has he done to you?
What are all these pills for?

He's an excellent doctor,
I didn't ask questions.

I de.n't understand,
what did he say the problem was?

Taking all those pills
could be dangerous.

- Let me have a look.
- Forget it,

it looks bad now.
It still needs some fixing.

IN THE TEARS OF GRIEVING MOTHERS...

Is it my phone?
You followed its GPS?

Now Vmsureont

I thought I was no longer
your daughter, that I was dead to you.

When did I ever say such a thing?

This isn't my first visit here.

- Why did you decide to ambush me?
- This isn't an ambush.

I wanted to see you.
I miss you.

So d°es your mum.

- She came over yesterday.
- To the Ethiopian woman's house?

I don't think that's how
she sees the world.

What do you mean?

- In black and white, like you do.
- Don't make this about colour,

the guy is a murderer and a liar.
That's what the judge ruled.

The judge is a liberal like you,
his daughter used to be his son.

He decreed that,
not your idiot dad.

I have to go,
visiting hours are until 10am.

What if I told you
he lied to you too?

- To you and to his poor mother?
- What are you talking about?

-Holland. Remember that fairytale?
-What fairytale?

His studies in Rotterdam.

It's no fairytale,
he got in with a scholarship.

What if I told you
that plane ticket wasn't for Holland?

Bullshit.

When he went to jail

they had to photograph
all his personal belongings.

Among them
was a plane ticket to Canada.

Canada.

They brought it up in court,
weren't you there?

was.a^’

but I couldn't take it any more,

seeing him all alone up there.

He chose to be alone.

He chose to brush off the lawyer
they provided for him,

he Chose t0 brush you off

he chose to brush off his mother.

You like that word, don't you?
You like saying it.

Let's go home.

Mum made food.

Your age is showing.

You're getting old, Avshalom.

I feel guilty.

Good for you, Kvshalom,
but what are you guilty of?

What have you even got
to do with me?

you're mV son'

So?

Am I supposed to cry now?
To call you Dad and hug you?

Why are you here?
Did Mum force you?

- She doesn't know I'm here.
- Is that a secret too?

No, it's not. I think she'd be
pleased to know that I was here.

She'd never believe you.

-1 want to help you.
- Got money?

Your mother and I.-

Don't mention you and her
in the same breath.

I just didn't believe
it would end this way.

Did you think
the truth would come to light?

Listen, the main thing is
that you'll file an appeal

- and I'll help you.
- How?

Did you win the lottery?
Did someone buy your album?

I'll tell Nigist,
maybe well cash in on you.

I have three children.
Your brothers.

Yeah, my brothers.

Did you tell them they've got
another brother? In jail?

- They did nothing wrong.
- Neither did I.

I'll get you out of here.

\s that so. •7

She should be here.

Who leaves a place a'barrd'OTred
for this long in broad daylight?

It's nice that your mum never lets up.

Enjoy her cooking, my deaTT&he-thinks
I'll die if she stops cooking for me.

How does Sarit feel about it?
It's not really a big compliment to her.

Sadeh, it's so unlike you

to assume that’Sarit
is the cook in our household.

So how did it go with your...
procedure?

-I hope that it hadn't...
- No, it hadn't spread.

OK.

So what happened?

Did the doctor touch you
in an inappropriate way?

Did he say anything inappropriate?

Is it medical negligence?

Does it have anything to do
with the surgery?

Did anything go wrong?

Did he get the wrong breast?
Did he cut off too much?

Fuck., I don't believe it.

- No way, it can't be.
- Yes, it can, it's a fact.

You're suing him
and that entire fucking hospital.

How will that help me?

Don't worry.
Leave the paperwork to me.

I ean't believe it.
-4

I'm sorry sweetie.

It'll be all right.

Where is she?

Sorry.

- Hi there.
- Thank you in advance.

It's my job-

Attorney Ohana met with your son,
he didn't miss a beat.

I met with him. I wouldn't say
he's the easiest person to deal with,

but I think he's more open
to the idea of filing an appeal.

I must say it looks pretty promising.

- I'm happy to hearthat.
- Yes, there's hope.

- Idit, sweetie, where are you going?
- Home.

But I told you, this is your home.

I can’t do tfe anymore'

I wanted you to meet the lawyer.

- Lawyer? What for?
- What for?

This story is over.

Want to know the truth?
He wasn't planning to go to Holland.

He lied to us.

T o both ot os.

You were there during the tnal

He had a ticket to Canada,
not Holland, not even Europe.

- He wanted to get away from us.
- Rafa has nothing to run from.

Is my smile convincing?

Do I look kind-hearted?
Pure? Worthy of an acquittal?

You don't look like a lawyer.

'm Yael Tamir.

I happen to be the Israel
Prison Service head psychologist.

- But you're also...
- That's right.

So why'Sre you here?
To get back at me? What do you want?

- I'm here to help you.
- What's in it for you?

Helping yon he'ps me'

- Are you-for real?
- I'm not good at lying.

- Everyone lies.
- They do.

But to various degrees.

Yourshould know
I'm an excellent liar.

I've lied to everyone,
even to my own mum.

But it failed.
They didn't believe you.

Sure they did.

- You mean, before...?
- Before, after, during.

D'd you wan> to be punished,

That's psychobabble,
don't you think?

Why would they punish you?

I didn't say Pwanted to be punished.
I don't deserve to be punished.

1 know you’re in deep shit too,

and I'm
really sorry for you,

but you couldn't
possibly understand me.

- Nobody believes me any more.
- You said that you're a liar.

Could you picture yourself
in my black skin?

I'm not being metaphorical.
Nobody can picture that.

I wouldn't accuse
the entire world of racism.

Looking for someone to blame
doesn't help.

I don't believe in that.

Helping yourself
will help her too, Rafael.

Since my arrest,
no one believes me any more.

What about your mum?

Lying to her
doesn't make me a murderer.

-1 don't think she believes that...
- Do you?

Regarding the issue with r
Rafael Emanuel's bite-mark sample,

my client has refused- ‘
to cooperate in the past,

but our new evidence
raises many questions

and leads us in many new directions.

Are you cold?

-What?
-1 asked if you were cold.

You're wearing a coat.

Come in.

Is this your home?

- My second home.
- Tell me about it...

Are you here to give me the samp)e?

That too.

Sorry, I haven't got much to offer,
other than an apple...

guess I've become
kind of paranoid.

For years, I've sat face to face
with rapists 2nd murderers,

trusting ^ern

always understanding,
perhaps even identifying with them,

giving them
a second chance, respect,

with no handcuffs on,
no security guards,

based only on trust,
and I really do trust them.

And here I am now,

feeling suspicious.

Though it's easy to see why.

You're asleep in your bed at night,
and someone kidnaps your son

and murders him for no reason.

Professionally speaking, it's a short
leap to having paranoid thoughts

and feeling distrust towards people
around me, even the closest ones.

He won't give you his sample.

-Who?
- Eitan.

I can't force him.

Do you suspect
he's in any way connected to this?

What can we do?

At this stage
there's not much we can do,

especially
if he refuses to cooperate.

Could we issue a warrant?

You'd n d
a concrete reason for that.

Such as?

Lack of an alibi
having a questionable alibi,

possession of an assault weapon,
something feasible.

What if I brought you his teeth?

What are you talking about?

I'm done following up on him,
looking after him.

He was a troubled guy
long before we met.

No woman could stand it,

except for his own therapist.

You married your patient?

I stopped
being his official therapist.

But then I really started
taking care of him.

I worry about Gil, my daughter.
She adores him.

The less he does,
the more valuable he gets.

It's a classic weakness women have.

can't do that to her.

But you know something.
Even without being told about it.

And Gil?
Do you think she...?

Think about it.

What worries you more,
that she'll be heartbroken

- or that she'll know her father...?
- I'll be in touch.

No, I already had one.

Half and half?

Why did you even them?

I don't know.... for Hanukkah

You light candles, eat doughnuts,
isnjt that the ijprfflr

I forgot.
There's no such thingy 'norm'.

One minute he has^'eth,
the next they're in a drawer,

and now they're gone.

Did he complain about any pain,

or did he just ask a dentist
to have them extracted?

No, he was complaining
about noises, voices.

He said
they were coming from his teeth,

that he could hear
the army field radio.

He's post-traumatic,
and our tragedy awakened that demon.

- His teeth received transmissions?
- Something like that.

You know,
back in the 1930's or 50's,

when there were only radios,
many complained that their fillings,

the metal ones,
were receiving radio signals.

heard about that.

Its just an urban legend.

I mean, what kind oMdctor
would pull out an entire set of teeth?

They'd do anything for money.
To them, it's just another job.

I'm sorry, but we can't do anything
with this information.

Nothing?
Not even an inquiry?

We can't just call a person in
for an inquiry, we'd need a reason.

- Sadeh, Mrs Tamir.
- Yael.

How are you?
How's your husband?

- Thanks for coming.
-1 have to go.

- We'll keep in touch.
- I'm running late.

We'll talk.

I see you decided t@ try on the...

Is that what interests you?

- Not what Yael Tamir was doing hlJH**
- I'm sure you'll fill me in.

She said something
that shows Eitan in a very bad light.

- What are you talking about?
- Eitan Tamir's teeth.

What's that got to do with anything?

Rafael Emanuel
didn't bite the victims.

Let's say he didn't.

Eitan had all his teeth pulled out.

They were perfect

Elroee, have you ever written
polygraph questions?

All I know is that
they're yes or no questions.

Dig me up some info about
Eitan Tamir, Kfir's father.

OK.

He took part
in one of those campaigns.

Llke "refer a friend"?

He got a decoration for valour,
a Medal of Gourage.

Sadeh is under the impression
that this poor, grieving father,

a national hero, a broken man,
is the murderer.

Its not unheard of.

Let me write a few questions.

Canada.
Why suddenly Canada?

t wasn't sudden.

But why?

- Because it's far.
- Far from what?

didn't want to hurt you.

That didn't work out too well.

I didn't talk to anyone
the entire time,

hid at your mums.

The two of us were on your side
against the whole world,

while you just wanted
to get rid of both of us.

I didn't want to get rid of anyone.
That wasn't the plan.

-1 didn't want to get rid of you.
- What then?

I wanted to get rid of myself,
of the Rafa that lives here.

But I'd have come with you,
and so would your mum.

- You mean the world to her.
-1 couldn't deal with it.

- And me?
- It's your dad.

You lied to me,
and you're blaming my dad?

That's right, your dad is
so righteous, he's a king.

You lied to me
because you never loved me.

Not really.

Sit down.

Where's Yael?

She's not coming.

I'm Eyal.

Why do they need us again?

Wasn't once enough?

It's part of the process, he's filing
for an appeal. We did nothing wrong.

I'm going to do it, too.

- It's that investigator.
- Which one?

Breastless Venus.

She doesn't like me

Why wouldn't she like you?
You’re being paranoid.

- Are you asking?
- Yes, why wouldn't she like you?

Who knows
what you two talk about.

"Talk about"?
I don't even know her.

Don't be scared. Eitan.

Think I'm scared?
I'm not scared.

Vm scared too.

Come hell or high water, Yael

We're together
come hell or high water.

OK, it's very simple. Answer
my questions only with yes or no.

Is your name Eitan Tamir?

Yes.

Are you married to Yael Tamir?

Yes.

Do you own
a camping equipment business?

Do you own
a camping equipment business?

My brother is actually the manager,
I'm more of a...

Then the answer is no.

I'll ask again. Do you own
a camping equipment business?

- No.
- Louder and in a clearer voice.

Do you own a camping
equipment business?

No.

Are you a father of two?

Yes.

I'll ask again,
do you have two children?

Yes.

Next.

Were you bom m 1949?

No.

OK, now I'll ask you to lie.
Were you born in 1949?

Yes.

Did you serve
in Operation Grapes of Wrath?

Yes.

Were you wounded
in Operation Grapes of Wrath?

Yes.

Are you recognised
as an IDF disabled veteran?

Yes.

Are you recognised as shell-shocked?

- Yes.
- Louder and in a clearer voice.

- Are you recognised as shell-shocked?

Are you a war hero?

you a war hero?

- What is this bullshit?
-1 didn't write these questions.

I can't ask subjective questions
on a polygraph.

Someone did
a very unprofessional job here.

It's important that you answer
truthfully now, is that clear?

On the night of September 22nd,
the night after Yom Kippur,

Were y°u at home all night?

- I'm just reading what it says...
- But what are these questions?

my experience

there's nothing worse than leaving
in the middle of questioning.

Just a few more questions
and you can go.

So, were you at home all night
after Yom Kippur?

Yes!




Have you ever hit anyone?

Yes.

Have you ever hit a family member?

Possibly, maybe, yes.

- Did you ever hit your son?
-No!

Last question.

Eitan Tamir,
did you murder your son Kfir Tamir?

No.

Thank you, the examination is over.

What did they ask him?

Not much,
but the important things.

And?

At least according to the polygraph
he's telling the truth.

What did he say?

That he didn't kill him.

Polygraph results
aren't admissible in court.

There are ways to outsmart
the machine, you know.

Meditation, for example.

A large dose of tranquillisers
will also do the job.
