Mossad 101 (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - Episode #2.1 - full transcript

The plot of this series
is purely fictional

Any resemblance to real persons
or events is purely coincidental

IN THE PREVIOUS SEASON

Deep down you know the truth.

Aaron had the opportunity
to make a lot of money

and he couldn't resist the temptation.

He stole 2.5M Euro
from the government treasury.

That's what got him killed.

So the only question now is...

where did the money go.

Avner Hariri,



a top gun in the Israeli mob.

I don't know you.

That's his son.

Liron Hariri is in charge of security.

Someone played us.

Hariri was killed with an RPG?

Someone who doesn't care
that we know who he is

should return the money.

And that someone
is going to pay for what he did.

-I want you to stay in the course.
-Thanks, but no thanks.

I'm going back to the field.

No. Either you command over a course
or you retire.

A YEAR LATER

Aaron...



-Are you sure he no longer suspects you?
-No way.

KIEV, UKRAINE

24 HOURS EARLIER

MOSSAD HEADQUARTERS,
SOMEWHERE IN CENTRAL ISRAEL

The babysitter made contact
with the secured target.

Copy that.

Do you believe in the resurrection
of the dead?

- What?
-I sent you proof.

Wow, that's surprising.

What's surprising is how stupid we are.

And this explains why you insisted
on taking the kids to Kiev.

-It's only suspicions at this point.
-Yona, cut the bull.

-How long have you been following them?
- What's the difference ?

"What's the difference?"

Aaron is alive,
you saw for yourself,

-what's the difference?
- So what now ?

It won't be long before they vanish again.
That's what happens now.

Must I remind you that you're
not a field man, you're a babysitter.

Thanks for that...

You don't have authorization
to act before I inform the chief.

By the time
that pathetic political appointment

-realizes what's going on, they won't...
-Wait for authorization.

Fuck this.

Just 2 months ago
the police prided itself

on the arrest of Liron Hariri
who allegedly murdered Zachi Lerner,

which resulted in the worst gang war
in Israel's history.

And now, this afternoon,
the judge orders the release of Hariri

and criticizes the police
and DA's conduct.

Liron, what do you have to say
about the judge's decision?

Here comes Liron Hariri,
outside for the first time in 2 months.

People, let him through.

Liron, do you have a message
for the citizens of Israel?

Does the name Zachi Lerner
sound familiar?

Not surprisingly, we can't get...

-Some circus, huh?
-Go.

Where is it?

-What's inside?
-Everything you need.

That attorney of yours said
that we can file a civil suit.

She said we can prove...

-"indirect responsibility."
-Oh, yeah?

The man who killed your father
was that bastard, Lerner.

Not the Mossad.

Tell me, who's responsible?

The match or the asshole that lights it?

The Mossad claims responsibility
for the stunt.

Maybe the course commander will be
ousted and they'll pay retribution.

They're better off
putting the matter to rest...

I don't want to put it to rest.

You're so stubborn.

-Aaron, you're smoking again?
-God forbid,

but this is a special occasion, isn't it?

Those cigarettes will kill you.

So will Viagra,
but I don't hear you complaining...

Aaron, that's enough.

What is it, Dushinka?
Why are you being like this?

Aaron, I want to know where we stand.

On a tropical shore,
cocktails in our hands,

-watching the sunset...
-Aaron, stop. I'm tired,

these past two years haven't been easy.

Lying to everyone, mourning you
when I know you're alive,

constantly under Yona's scrutiny,
every word, every move...

You're so brave, Dushinka.
One last ditch effort and it's over.

Is it in here?

You don't really think
I'd put 2.5M Euro in a trolley bag?

Aaron,
where's the money you stole? You're talking as if
you have no part of this.

Aaron.

It's in a safe place.

Do you realize that we'll always
have to look over our shoulders?

So from time to time
we'll look over our shoulders,

but the rest of the time...

we'll live the good life.

You're crazy. You know that? Crazy? Me? No...

-I'm just happy.
-Very happy.

Put the shoes on.

-Put the shoes on.
-No.

Yes, yes, now! Put the shoes on
and let's do it in the bathtub.

Yes...

You are the best, Tatiana!

Maybe I marry you after.

You and me
we'll make beautiful children.

Tatiana, sweetie...

Tatiana.

Tatiana?

Fuck...

Fuck! -Hi, Sarit. I'm going in for a second.
-Hey.

OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR OF MOSSAD

Excuse me.

-I don't see that we scheduled a meeting.
-We didn't.

What am I looking at?

You're looking at Aaron Levi,
head of our delegation in Bulgaria

and that's his wife, Doris.

She graduated from our previous
handler course.

And why should I care?

As far as we know,

Aaron was killed on assignment
two years ago.

This picture was taken this morning
in the Ukraine.

When Aaron vanished,

so did 2.5M Euros
that belong to the Mossad.

When I got this job I was warned
I would have to instill order.

I didn't know it would be
a full blown renovation.

-Who took the pictures?
-Yona Harari.

Harari...

Harari.

Training department.

Yes, just recently.
He's actually a handler.

What's he doing in the training
department? He's a young fellow.

He commanded over the operation
in Bulgaria.

What an amazing coincidence.

Harari just happened
to bump into your thieves?

I'm not trying to protect him,
but a situation has come up

-and we must handle it.
-I'll tell you what needs to be handled.

Rogue operations by cowboys who
think the sun shines from their ass.

-I agree on that, but...
-Once you say "but," we don't agree.

By the way, this is the second "but"
I've heard from you.

Give all the information you have
to the Shoresh unit.

-We'll take it from there.
-To Shoresh?

They know about internal
investigations, but not...

There's that "but" again...

I talked to the tactical division,

we have a unit in Latvia
that is about to wrap it up.

-We can deploy them to the scene now.
-Read my lips: Shoresh.

And Avigail, when your instructor returns,

I want him in front
of an inquiry committee.

KIEV AIRPORT

You're sure it's him.

-This is the man.
-Yes, Liron, relax. He's your man.

-He's here.
-Okay.

Tell me about his trainees.

There's the girl, 25, 27 years old,

she speaks American,

she's the waitress.

There's another guy who works
in the kitchen.

They leave the apartment together,
but he never returns with her.

There's a third guy, an Arab.

An Arab?

Yeah, high class.
Wears a suit and tie, carries a briefcase.

He arrives every morning at 10:00,
reads an Arabic newspaper

and always orders the same thing: soup.

-And the guy?
-Nothing.

He just watches them.

They're getting ready
for an operation.

She's no American, he's no Arab.
They're all Israelis. When the Mossad works overseas
that's how they're selected.

Liron, he's your man. Consider him toast.

He's a dead man.

-Yeah.
-Yona. It's a no go.

-They're sending someone else.
-Yes, Shoresh.

Is the man insane?!
Why Shoresh?

-Yona, end the exercise as usual.
-By the time Shoresh gets here

they will be long gone and you know it.

Let me continue to tail them at least.

No contact,
no Intel gathering, no nothing.

-It's for your own good.
-What does that mean?

The chief asked me
to get an inquiry together.

An inquiry committee just for me?
I feel fuzzy all over.

-Kinder...
-We're talking about 2.5M Euros

and a little thing called
professional respect.

If that parasite thinks
I'll just sit back...

Kinder, he had no idea who you are...

Forget it, you have no backup.

What's this, Mitzi?

An accident.

Do me a favor,
help me move her to another suite.

With my bad back?

No other suite.

But, Liron, I already busted another door.
it'll just take a second.

What are you even doing here? Huh?

You were supposed to be outside
with the guy.

I'm sorry, Kotler,
but every day it's the same.

Every day!

The waitress, the cook,
the soup...

I decided to arrange a good time
for Liron's homecoming.

This?

I told you, it was an accident,
banged her head on the sink.

I'm to blame for everything? How long ago did you order her?

-Two hours, I think.
-When?

-What when?
-When did you order her?!

How many times have I told you
to mop up after a shower?!

-Yes?
-Where is Tatiana?

Ah, she's... she's busy now.

-You paid only one person.
-No problem, come.

How much more do you want?

How much? How much?

-Yeah, tell me.
-Where is the little man?

-Which little man?
-Fuck.

Mitzi.

This is the last time, you hear me?

-The last time.
-I'm sorry, Liron.

Get two bags together
and we're outta here.

Hurry up.

SAFE HOUSE, KIEV

Am I the only one
that feels like an orphan?

-He's testing us.
-He's testing us, huh?

You'll justify him, no matter what, right?

Go make yourself a bowl of borscht,
why don't you?

Gilad, from the day we got here
the man has ignored us.

He comes and goes as if we're invisible.

One briefing in four days,
does that sound reasonable to you?

This is no way for a commander
to act during a field assignment.

How do you know?

And with all due respect,
of the three of us I'm the only one

-who has experience...
-"Experience."

-You said you worked in the unit.
-I was unit chief...

Excuse me. My bad.

Cut it out, you two.

He's just examining how we perform
without anyone holding our hand.

-Why are you so stressed out?
-Gilad, you must admit

-that he's acting a bit weird, okay?
-"A bit weird?"

Last night he came back
reeking of alcohol.

-He got lost four times.
-So he likes to drink.

-And maybe he went too far.
-Gilad, something is off with him.

Guys, do you want
to complete the course?

Or do you want to be kicked out
just before the end? Huh?

Because I know what I want.

Great. That's what I thought.

So let's focus on what matters,
perfect execution of the assignment.

It's 7:37 pm.

Our commander
scheduled a debriefing for 7:00 pm.

I can only surmise
that we can't rely on him.

And if we can't rely on him
to make it to a meeting on time,

how can we rely on him to be there
for us if something goes wrong?

Relax, okay?

He was the office's best handler ever.

Stop being such a moron,
the man will be here when he gets here.

She was sweet.

-Who?
-Tatiana...

We clicked. I actually liked her.

-And now you're crying over her?
-So what if I am?

I suggest you get a grip.

We came here to take out the guy
from the Mossad.

We didn't come here to party.

She was good to me.
We laughed and had a great time.

I swear, Baruch,
she died with a smile on her face.

-That's the only way to go.
-With a smile on the face.

No, in a flash. Totally unaware.

We all know from the age of five.

-What?
-That we're gonna die.

A car accident, lung cancer,
two kilo explosives under the car...

It's trivia, not the principle.

It's fate.

-You're not listening to me.
-What?

If you had mopped the floor
after a shower,

-your Tatiana would still be alive.
-No, Kotel, her fate was to slip,

-it wasn't my fault, it was an act of God.
-God?

God told her to wear heels?
God shoved her head in the sink?

His ways are mysterious.

When I take someone out,
it's me who takes him out,

not God or the angel of death. Me.

Listen.

-Are you listening?
-I'm listening, I'm listening.

70% of all fatal accidents at home
happen in the bathroom.

Didn't we say you'd wait until I call you?

We're on a tight schedule, Doris. Very.

If I had anything to tell you,
you'd have heard from me long ago.

I really hope you're not playing
a double game, Doris.

I'd be very disappointed to know
you're going along with Aaron.

Where? On a tropical island
with a cocktail in his hand?

The office wants you arrested.

They sent two units to Kiev
especially for you.

-Yona, we had an agreement.
-Then stick by it.

-I need some more time.
-So you don't have the money?

No.

No!

Listen, I know he's meeting
someone very important tomorrow.

-Then go with him.
-No, he says it's dangerous.

Then take the risk.

Do what you have to do! Activate him.

We both know you're a very good liar.

You've changed. You used to be...

I used to be what?

You were in control. But not anymore.

How many years have we known each other?

Many.

So you know that no one in the world
would do what I'm doing for you.

So don't let me down, you hear?
I'm relying on you.

This mirror is filthy.

Guys, two hours to zero hour.

Was he even here last night?

-Why are you asking me?
-You live here.

I didn't see him.

If you ask me,
we should report him to the office.

Guys, you do what you want,
leave me out of it.

I'm not sure we should
carry on with the exercise.

There you go, there's the dilemma.
You're on field assignment,

you've been cut off
from the chain of command,

you have one opportunity to carry out
the task, what do you do?

Do you call it off
or take matters into your own hands?

Are you saying
Yona's doing this on purpose?

Have you ever seen Yona do otherwise?

We were 22 trainees when we started
the course, only 3 of us remain.

If I have to be kicked out,
it won't be for cowardice.

No, we won't be kicked out for cowardice.

We'll be kicked out for recklessness,

excess motivation, stupidity,
rashness, take your pick.

Or even worse, we could die.

Then stay here.

Gilad, you're not going anywhere.

-This isn't a solo operation.
-I know.

But unlike you at least I can say I tried.

REFUGEE ASSISTANCE CENTER,
SOUTH KIEV

TARGET: DORIS LEVI

Where's Mommy?

Dr. John Bowlby's attachment theory,
ever heard of it?

-Mom, what do you want?
-I'm sorry, Avigail,

but you're shirking responsibility
for your child.

Ssh, sweetheart.

-You need help.
-I need the help of a grandmother,

not a clinical therapist.

You get everything you want.
You get too much!

There there, sweetie...

God knows how much I love this child.

I'm more than happy to take care
of her and be here for her.

But I feel my presence
is ruining your relationship.

-Lauren Lotus Int'l Trade Company.
-Yona, you're not on a secure line.

Enter "Lauren Lotus Int'l Trade Company."

You have a field exercise in less than
90 minutes, what are you doing?

Aaron and Doris just went in,
I'm all alone here, help me out.

I'll get back to you in 30 minutes
from the office.

I have to go out, Mom.

-Avigail...
-We'll talk about it later. Bye.

-Avigail, are you here on the same matter?
-Yes.

Doris and Aaron made contact
with a man called Nikolai Kirikesh.

According to Interpol, one of the
biggest money launderers in the world,

especially drug money, cartels.
Is Shoresh on the way?

They're still dealing with red tape.

-When do you expect them to leave?
-two, three days, as you said.

They don't usually operate overseas.

We'll lose the money and the targets.

Dan. May I call you Dan?

No.

For people in the office

this Doris and Aaron thing
is like a wound that doesn't heal.

It will keep bleeding
until we don't end it.

The long arm of the Mossad
is not only a PR expression,

our deterrence is built on it.

If it ever gets out that
we could have stopped Doris and Aaron--

"Gets out?"

All I'm saying is that immediate,
resolute action

can shut the mouths
of all the ranks in the office

who still think
you're some kind of outsider.

So what do you suggest I do?

Authorize me to activate Yona.

Excuse me.

I come here once a month
and I've never seen you.

Are you new?

-I'm sorry, I don't speak Ukrainian.
-Wait a minute.

You don't speak Ukrainian?

Excuse me.

She doesn't speak Ukrainian...

Abort exercise, abort exercise.

Abort exercise at once.

It's over?

Is this what I was called in for?

Barely 15 minutes. What a waste of time.

Report that we're returning to the office.

Here he comes.

First of all,

I want to apologize, I know
you worked very hard on the exercise,

but I'm stopping it not because
you're not doing a good job,

but because I gave you a chance
to be in a real assignment.

-Sure.
-Put some more faith in your commander

because I don't know how to be
any more serious than this.

-Who are they?
-They're our new targets.

Mr. and Mrs. X.

Memorize faces,
identifying marks, height, weight.

Don't rely on your eyes,
these people are the ultimate pros.

They're currently residing
at 33 Shevchenko Street.

Here.

If they leave this address,
their next destination will either be

the Kiev airport
where they'll board an internal flight

or Boryspil airport
in a rental car or a taxi.

Our objective is to stop them
at the address before they move.

We don't have backup or the manpower
for an effective pursuit.

-By "stop them" you mean...
-Curb your enthusiasm, Mr. Elgawi,

I want all the ammo in the closet
and not one bullet missing.

Is that clear?

You and me in one vehicle,
you two in another.

You create roadblocks here and here
at the end of the street.

Understood?

Let's roll.

Should I follow them?

We have to catch him on his own.

Where is he going?

Is this good?

Depends on the event.

The beginning of a new life.

For that you need to change
more than a tie, Aaron.

Where's the optimist I married?

She got older and wiser.

-It's all set. You heard it yourself.
-I still don't know who we met,

but I do know that man
seemed like a scumbag.

We can't always choose the people
we do business with.

Business? Is that what that was?

Aaron,
you always had something to hide from me

and you never kept secrets from me

because you knew very well that
I'm not your typical Mossad wife,

one that keeps her mouth shut
and raises the children.

Wait for me here,
keep an eye on the balcony.

I shouldn't have taken you with me.
You shouldn't have insisted.

Tell me why.

-Aaron, I'm not going with you.
-What do you want?

I want to be more than your wife,
I want to be your partner,

for better or for worse,
like we always were.

-I love you.
-I love you too,

but you will leave here today
without me...

Sit.

I am about to tell you something
that will sound very surreal,

but first you have to promise me that
you won't interrupt me until I'm done.

The man we met
not only works with drug dealers.

There's a man named Abu Daud.

Doris, now you can talk.

I betrayed you.

What?

You won't have a new life, it's over.

Doris, stop, it's not funny.

Aaron, I hoped I could protect us both.

I didn't think you got mixed up
in something so...

I want to know who killed Doris and Aaron.

You understand
where you're putting me in?

The course is over.
As of today, you're in an actual mission.

Remember, any mistakes now
could cost you your lives.

I thought I should check my options.

Activate the Sarcophagus protocol

and see to it that Yona himself
execute it.

I want the guy to know who's killing him.

I want to look him in the eye.
