Mossad 101 (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Episode #2.3 - full transcript
The plot of this series
is pure fiction
Any resemblance to real persons
or events is purely coincidental
So I'm asking you,
is this the world you want to live in?
If so, be my guests.
But if you have the slightest ounce
of intelligence, you will leave now,
because with me
you will only end up in one place...
here.
It's your call.
They never came out like this before. This is your chance, Liron.
Get up. Get up, you motherfucker,
before I blow your brains out.
Just try me, you piece of shit.
-I put the kettle on.
-What did you say? I put the kettle on for coffee
and the water boiled.
Which one of you is Mitzi?
You're Mitzi.
You like your coffee with Hawaij, right?
You know how hard it is
to find Hawaij in the Ukraine?
But what won't I do
to make you feel at home?
You see those bags over there?
They contain beaded seat covers
for the car,
this amazing Chinese ointment
for Kotel's back
and headphones with the beat
that you like, 180 BPM,
real chill, huh?
And there's freshly ground coffee
on the stove, we'll drink some and...
Parliament, two ten-packs.
Shut your mouth.
Liron Hariri, I'm glad you're here,
the State of Israel needs you.
Are you sure you don't want coffee?
Were you following us?
Your guy Kotel might as well
have been holding up a sign
that says, "I'm here"
and wearing a hat with flashing lights.
Who else knows?
-Who else knows what?
-That we're here.
Oh, only me.
Only you.
As long as you unhooked
everything that needs unhooking.
Shoot me now, no one will know a thing.
-Where did you send your people?
-They won't be back.
-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah.
You'll have to trust me on that.
He's busting your balls, Liron.
No.
-Finish me off and you're scot free.
-Put a bullet through his head.
The only problem is, taking revenge on me
for your father's death
is taking revenge on the wrong person.
Whose idea was the exercise?
Mine.
Who had the trainees
place a two bit explosive at Lerner's?
Me.
Then why do you say you're
the wrong person, huh? You piece of shit.
My father died for nothing
because of your fucking exercise.
-I'm very sorry he's dead.
-You're sorry, huh?
But I'm not that irresponsible.
I was aware of the volatile nature
of the exercise, that's why...
Why are you even talking to him, Liron?
That's why I told Lerner that the Hariris
had nothing to do with what happened.
They'll be back any minute,
let's waste him--
Quiet!
When you talk like this
you belittle not only me,
you belittle the entire central district
of the Israeli police force.
I'm sure you have your sources.
And I'm sure they told you
exactly what they thought happened.
-Yes. But you know better, huh?
-No.
I only know I had nothing to do
with your family's tragedy.
I did some checking up on you,
I did some... what's it called?
Intel gathering. Yes.
Do you know what I realized?
I realized that...
your role is to mess with people,
you're a first class talker.
But this time
all your fancy talk won't help.
Hold on, hold on, hear me out.
No, you hear me out, you fucker.
What business did you
and my father have, huh?
Nothing. Two strangers.
He never saw you, never heard about you
and he never imagined that a scumbag
like you would be the death of him.
What you did...
What you did was like a game to you, huh? What counts is the game, not the results.
'Cause what's the worst that can happen,
huh?
As long as my exercise goes smoothly,
the thugs can kill one another.
And for that you deserve to die.
For thinking nothing of us,
for looking down at my father
as if we was an ant you can squash.
Hold it. Can I say my final words
before you execute me?
It's customary. May I?
It is good to die for our country.
Nope, that's taken.
Killing me will be the dumbest thing
you've ever done and you're no dummy.
Not only will you be doing the person
who blew up your father a big favor,
but you'll be missing out
on the opportunity of a lifetime.
I want to tell you why I invited you here.
You invited us?
Yes, he invited us.
I have a business proposal for you.
Go fuck yourself.
Let's talk about this, Liron.
Mr. Moshayev, bravo.
Finally, a man with reason.
- Hello.
-Hi, Nachumi, what's up?
- I'm fine Avi, how are you?
-Not bad.
- How's your daughter?
-She's fine. Tell me,
have you spoken
to the babysitter recently?
Yesterday at noon, she sounded fine.
Why? Isn't she answering your calls?
No, no sound, no image. Dead.
Okay, I'll try a remote hookup,
or do you want a technician
in the Ukraine?
No, there's no need. I...
I'm on my way as we speak.
- Well, it must be from the roof.
-What do you mean?
The main server is on the roof
and it's lousy.
I see.
Look, the building is ancient.
We have a long history of malfunctions.
It hasn't been operational in years,
only you guys in training
still use that dump.
Okay, got it.
Thanks, Nachumi. Say hi to the girls.
-He's lying, Liron.
-Okay, so where are they?
They would never
have endangered him like this.
The man's all ego,
maybe he didn't tell them everything.
-Maybe.
-Maybe.
Is "maybe"
worth 20 years in the can, Liron?
And I mean 20 years in solitary,
this guy is in security.
Damn it, Kotel,
the man said we'd beat the rap.
-He's lying.
-Why would he?
If he was lying,
he would have said they know we're here.
Reverse psychology.
What?
He's not on the up and up, Liron.
He's telling you a lie you wouldn't expect
of him, so you think it's the truth.
If he told you what you want to hear,
you'd know that he's lying.
So is he lying or not?
He has a plan, Liron.
If he did, it didn't work,
or he's stupid enough to think
that he can take us on by himself.
Whatever, you guys keep
shooting the breeze, we're goners.
He's right, we're wasting our time.
Look at you, like some pigheaded Kavkaz.
Then what do you suggest?
That we forget about it and leave?
Now, we'll take him out,
but in our own good time.
I don't mean to interrupt,
your discussion is valid,
but you're lacking some major information.
Let me ice him, Liron. Let me.
Beyond whether you've been exposed or not,
there's a question
that's just as important...
why are you even here?
Can you bring me my keyboard?
-What for?
-To work in an orderly fashion.
I'll tell it to you like it is,
I want us to cooperate.
A few days of work at the end of which
you will be very nicely rewarded.
-Are you jerking me around?
-Why would I? We do this every so often,
hire professionals for a specific job.
Our problem, Liron,
is that we're dealing with people
who operate outside the norm.
-What people?
-People like you,
criminals, drug dealers to be exact.
They are part
of a Ukrainian distribution ring.
Press the arrow, on the bottom.
My friends,
they died two days ago,
two very senior agents.
The Ukrainians slaughtered them.
What do you want from me, a tissue?
Those people were our parents' age,
they should have been retired.
They didn't die for money,
they died for your country.
They died for the flag.
Don't tell me
that it doesn't faze you, Liron.
I know who you are.
You were an officer in the army.
You did six tours of Lebanon.
Gaza was your home for eight months.
You love your country,
even more than you hate me,
I know that for sure.
That's why I think you will help us.
The idea is to set up a deal
with the Ukrainians,
a real deal,
with real top notch criminals,
the profits are yours.
I'm talking huge sums of money,
goods that are worth a lot.
Sounds strange, huh? I know
you're here for a different purpose,
but you can always kill me, am I right?
When all this is over,
if you're still interested,
I'll give you the opportunity,
you have my word.
Oh, yeah?
Scroll a few pictures down.
I knew it!
I said they'd be back and they are.
All this fuckin' talk. I told you so!
-What's going on?
-Get up, you cocksucker.
Do you know her?
Talk.
No, why would I? Maybe she's a neighbor.
I thought a pro like you
is supposed to know all his neighbors.
Maybe she's visiting a neighbor,
how do I know?
What's your boss doing here?
The head of training is your boss, right?
Yona?
-You're Avigail, right?
-Yes.
-Do you recognize me?
-No.
Try to remember, maybe you forgot.
-Am I supposed to know you? Yona!
-Hey!
Don't look at him, look at me.
Nothing?
Liron Hariri.
I was insulted there for a moment.
This is what you call,
"two birds with one stone."
Do you have any idea
what you got yourself into?
You think this is some apartment
in some posh area
that you and your guys break into
for some measly 200 shekels and a TV?
This is a classified security facility.
I'm no lawyer,
but I think that just by being here
you deserve to be in prison...
-No! You son of a bitch!
-Shut up!
Finally a reaction, huh?
No more joking around.
-She has nothing to do with us.
-Oh, she doesn't, huh?
She's your commander, isn't she?
-You're both murderers.
-Based on your logic,
you should take out the Mossad chief,
the defense minister and prime minister.
Liron, get a grip,
start thinking straight.
So no one knows a thing, huh?
If she doesn't know about us
and she's your boss...
I told you I'm not lying.
Liron, we can solve this easily.
You already have.
Kotel...
-What's going on?
-Why are you here?
You came all the way to the Ukraine
to tell me what you think of me?
-Is that what you think? Idiot.
-Then why are you here?
I'm here to help.
I thought you needed me.
You helped me,
you screwed up my plan.
-What plan?
-Never mind.
-Where are the trainees?
-I sent them away.
-Why?
-I didn't want them to be involved in...
What's going on, Mitzi?
Why do I hear talking?
Shut the fuck up.
Okay.
Since we're all here,
might as well talk about the exercise.
To get a better understanding.
-I told you...
-Not you.
Talk.
These exercises come with procedures
and security measures.
We don't want to endanger anyone,
not our trainees, not our targets.
And it's customary to choose people
like my father as a target?
-No.
-No? Explain.
The last course was experimental.
Oh, yeah? "Experimental."
What does that mean?
To see what happens
when you ignite two people
who've been trying
to kill each other for a long time?
-I told you that I met with Lerner...
-Did I give you permission to talk?
-Is that true?
-Yes.
Liar.
-What do you want?
-The truth.
-The truth?
-Yes.
The truth is that it couldn't be helped,
that's the truth.
-What?
-That your father be killed.
That's the world he lived in.
And that's why you're angry,
not at me and not at Yona,
but at your helplessness.
Don't mess with me.
I asked you a simple question!
What simple answer do you want?
Who's to blame for your father's death?
Is that what you want to know?
Whatever I say won't convince you,
because deep down
you feel that
there's only one person to blame...
you.
But it wasn't your fault, Liron,
and what you're doing now
won't help you forgive yourself.
You're right.
I can't forgive myself.
And I don't intend to forgive you.
In a few minutes this building
will come down over your heads.
Go see how Kotel is doing.
Sure thing.
Kotel, Liron is asking if you're done.
He's so stressed out,
he says we gotta bail right now.
Do you see this pipe?
It's the central gas pipe,
I have to blow it up.
-Just a minute.
-You mean a minute or an hour?
Hurry up, Grandma, how long
does it take to rig up explosives?
It has to look like an accident,
it's more complicated.
You're singing?
Are you serious? You're singing now?
Listen, Kotel,
if you don't finish now, I swear...
If you get in my way it'll take more time.
Fuck, how did this all go to shit?
Why did that chick have to come now?
-Dude... it doesn't bother you? At all?
-What?
Bringing the building down on the dame.
-Because she's a woman?
-Yes.
The fact that she's got a muff
doesn't give her immunity.
-And kids?
-What about them?
Let's say
there were small kids in the building,
-would you waste them too?
-Why, your God doesn't waste kids?
Ever heard of SIDS?
But you're not God.
You have to divert your anger
to your real enemies, Liron.
Oh, yeah?
And who are my real enemies?
I have to tell you
who your real enemies are?
As long as you're in the Ukraine,
they're having a field day, my friend.
Everything your father built
is going to hell.
Did you hear that from
your friends in the police, too?
The vast enterprise that he built
is being squandered.
The drug trafficking, the loan sharking,
the extortion, the whores...
You don't give up, huh?
I want to help you, Liron,
let me help you.
Thank you for the job offer.
I don't think it'll work out.
Are you done?
-Now you come, kiddies?
-We waited for your signal.
And nothing of what you saw indicated
that the plan had gone awry?
You could have told me
that this was going to happen.
Drop the gun.
You drop your guns
or I'll blow his head off.
Oh, come on.
Shut your mouth.
Think of this as a chess game,
your opponent took your bishop and rook
and he's threatening the king.
It's three against one, not a tie.
Shut the fuck up, you son of a bitch.
-Blow him away, Liron.
-Hey, cool it.
My guys won't drop their guns,
and that's a fact.
Because if they will,
you'll kill me and them,
so... what good will that do?
Is this an exercise or is it for real?
It's totally real, Gilad.
On the other hand,
you can sacrifice the bishop and rook
and shoot me,
but take into account
that you could die, too.
Checkmate,
that's where we're at.
Make a decision!
You bastard.
Very nice, fine decision.
Way to go.
What's your name?
Don't be a drag.
Nice to meet you, Menachem Shapira.
You can call me Menny. Or Mitzi.
My friends call me Mitzi.
You must be asking yourself,
why Mitzi, huh?
I'm glad you asked.
What are the qualities of a cat?
I mean, how is a cat unique
in the nature kingdom?
No matter where he lands,
he always makes out okay.
Throw him off the roof, he lands
on his feet, doesn't need any favors.
As the good book says,
"The more they afflicted them,
the more they multiplied
and spread abroad."
-Mitzi, how about shutting up?
-You shut up, Kotel.
You want me to explain the verse?
I know what it means.
So you're religious?
-Do you observe the commandments?
-Do you?
-I try, with God's help.
-How do you try?
"With God's help?" You and your friends
planned to murder two people.
Hey, it's not murder, it's justice.
-An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
-You have no idea what you're saying.
You just throw verses out there.
You have no clue what they mean.
I knew it, you're religious.
I could tell from the get-go,
something about your projection.
-What? Are you making friends?
-He won't shut up.
Then shut it for him, you have the gun.
Behind his back.
-Not so tight, it'll stop the blood flow.
-Alright.
-That's it, excellent.
-Yeah, this is better.
People,
safety distance, stay alert,
don't take your eyes off them.
I'm going to take a nap.
Good night.
-Don't do that.
-I have no choice.
Give me five minutes to talk,
now that I'm not tied
and you're not trying to pacify
a high strung criminal.
That criminal is here
because you invited him.
-True.
-Why?
-Because I need him.
-Why?
I'll tell you everything
but first, stop what you're doing.
First of all,
you don't tell me what to do.
Second, enough!
I can't control you, you totally lost it.
You're no longer a part of the system,
if you ever were.
You don't have to control me,
you have to work with me.
Really? I have to work with you?
Go fuck yourself.
Listen, what's going on here is bigger
than that filing clerk could ever know.
-Mossad chief's office. Yes, Avigail?
-I need to speak to the chief.
It's on record, it'll take them
three minutes to get back to me.
-Three minutes is enough. Listen to me.
-No, you listen to me.
These criminals will be vacated,
this incident will be recorded,
that means your career is over.
You'll come back with me
and you'll get the treatment you need.
Mossad chief's office
returning Avigail's call.
You look familiar.
I suspected earlier, now I got it.
East side of Rishon Lezion?
I lived there for a year.
Algawy, right?
Where did you move to?
Jerusalem.
And you're here because you know Arabic?
I'm not talking to you.
The gun doesn't suit you, Algawy.
Gilad, move away.
Go!
Okay, my offer still stands,
prison or cooperation?
Those are your options.
You're not the first one
to make me that offer.
This is a different world, Liron,
I'm not a cop or a prosecutor.
All I want is for you to be you.
Maybe you'll learn something
in the process.
Yona, what are you doing?
Give me a week.
You know what, make that four days.
Yona!
I don't cooperate
with a gun pointed at my head.
You're right.
Yona, I'm warning you.
Is this better?
He's still pointing a gun at my head.
Drop your weapons.
-Drop your weapons now!
-No one drop their gun!
Yona, stop.
Move.
Tobi
Move.
Amy, Gilad, I remind you
that Yona answers to me,
-I'm the senior commander here.
-You can go.
Get up already.
No one is leaving!
This is yours, isn't it?
Promise me you'll give my offer
some serious thought.
Did you hear me? No one moves,
no one drops their weapon.
Let them go!
Go.
I swear, the man's a psycho!
Mossad, my foot,
he should be committed to an asylum.
Damn, we should have wasted him
from the get go.
Now we're really screwed.
I'm telling you, Liron,
with all due respect,
this is a remote control job,
Dragunovs, snipers on the door...
-No Dragunovs! It's over.
-Why?
You really want to know?
With all due respect, Baruch,
it's not your call
and I don't think it's dignified
that Liron give the man a pardon.
-There will be no pardon. We wait.
-How long?
As long as it takes.
Sure, why not?
Let's let him die of old age,
why don't we?
Do hear yourself, Kotel?
Did he scare you
with that load of hot air?
We don't have to take him out here,
we can do it at home.
One day he'll get in his car...
Who's the top brass at 433
now that Mizrachi retired?
Waldman, why?
Waldman is no good, I don't trust him,
I need someone who wasn't involved
in the case, an outsider.
Liron, we know what happened,
don't let him mess with your head.
Go to the hotel.
I know I seemed...
Tell me what you're thinking.
Doris and Aaron,
in some ways they raised you,
you were fond of them,
then they betrayed you,
and then you had to erase them.
That's rough.
You're forgetting...
something in between,
someone slaughtered them.
-Right.
-And you don't care who?
Because I do.
As far as the office is concerned,
they were two agents who strayed.
It happens,
not everyone can resist the temptation.
I liked Doris and Aaron too, but...
they were felons who got in
over their heads and paid the price.
On a personal level, of course it's sad,
but this was a criminal matter
that had nothing to do with us.
Had you listened to me -and not lost control...
-I lost control?
You lost control. I'm trying to tell you that the criminal angle
is just part of the story.
The money launderer, Kirikesh,
who does he work for?
Mainly cartels.
Hizbollah, Iran, Jabhat al-Nusra.
You're trying to find a story
when there is none.
Why would I do that?
Because you used to be at the epicenter
of things and now you're...
-A babysitter.
-A course instructor.
What's this?
I don't know, a scribble.
This scribble...
Doris drew it for me in her blood.
Now take another look
and tell me what it is.
Capricorn, Abu Mahmoud al-Kasam.
Pisces, Amar al-Rafdan.
Leo, Abu Muhammad al-Makdesi. Who's left?
Taurus, al-Hamdi.
Al-Hamdi, who is supposed to be in Syria,
killed Doris in the Ukraine
and before she died
she drew a Mossad signal?
-No, I didn't say that.
-Then what are you saying?
Avi, there's a reason
I was following Doris.
She was my agent.
She drew this for me.
ISIS.
Al-Hamdi, yes.
They have something to do with this mess.
I'm going to get a glass of water.
Can I get you anything?
-You owe me.
-What?
You can't wash your hands
of the situation I'm in. You can't.
You made me burn their faces off! You!
You're the reason I'm here,
doing this job,
instead of doing something I'm good at,
something I love.
You're the one who divorced me,
you're the one who broke my heart,
you're the one who hooked up with a man
who called himself my best friend
and had a baby with him. You!
What do you want?
I want a professional courtesy.
Can you give that to me?
A few fucking days to do this my way,
that's what I need from you,
can you give that to me?
I want to leave the room.
You owe me.
We better not miss the flight.
I never thought
Liron would let him off the hook.
No one let him off the hook.
And what was all that talk
about the cops, huh?
Now he doesn't believe he did it?
I swear, the man messed with his head.
Could you please pack?
Alright, bro. By the time you pack
one suitcase I can pack six.
Let's just say I won't miss this dump.
I never thought it would end like this.
It's not over, Gilad.
We'll get a different instructor,
hopefully a sane one this time
and we'll complete this course.
Yes, but one of the bosses
has to tell us what's going on.
-Go ask him.
-To be honest, I feel sorry for him.
Why?
He almost got us killed.
What are you doing?
Did someone tell you to pack?
No. We just assumed
that after what happened...
Yes? So?
What so, Avigail?
The man lost it, you saw for yourself.
Every second we're around him
endangers us all.
He proved that to us
for the umpteenth time.
This isn't the first time he's done this.
He brushed off the exercise,
every safety regulation,
the procedures, us.
He's drunk all the time,
he's not focused...
No one's perfect.
What? Are you kidding?
I know this may sound strange,
but I think you're privileged
to have Yona as your instructor.
With all his faults and hang-ups,
Yona Harari is one of the finest handlers
the office has ever had.
I'm blushing.
Why did you stop?
As you know,
two of our people were killed
the day before yesterday.
Yona asked that you take on
an actual, time restricted operation
in order to find out what was going on.
I approved his request because I trust you
and I believe in him.
An operation like this can only succeed
if we believe in one another.
Lovely speech, but it still doesn't
explain what went down here today.
Let's just say it was...
a failed recruitment attempt
and move on, alright?
Why "failed?"
-Mitzi, do you hear me?
-I hear you.
Don't make contact with Gregory,
contact the target always
through a third party.
My big boss come to Ukraine,
let's make a deal.
This is not a game, people are getting
killed, don't meddle in my work.
You're not really
in favor of his plan, are you?
Not really.
-Are you drinking on assignment?
-You're getting on my nerves.
Go back to the house. I'm uncomfortable
leaving the trainees with them.
I'm uncomfortable
leaving you alone with him.
Why? What will happen?
Man, your ex-wife is amazing.
Who divorces a woman like that?
Do you want to make a deal with us?
Something stinks.
Gilad, they're there, they're there!
is pure fiction
Any resemblance to real persons
or events is purely coincidental
So I'm asking you,
is this the world you want to live in?
If so, be my guests.
But if you have the slightest ounce
of intelligence, you will leave now,
because with me
you will only end up in one place...
here.
It's your call.
They never came out like this before. This is your chance, Liron.
Get up. Get up, you motherfucker,
before I blow your brains out.
Just try me, you piece of shit.
-I put the kettle on.
-What did you say? I put the kettle on for coffee
and the water boiled.
Which one of you is Mitzi?
You're Mitzi.
You like your coffee with Hawaij, right?
You know how hard it is
to find Hawaij in the Ukraine?
But what won't I do
to make you feel at home?
You see those bags over there?
They contain beaded seat covers
for the car,
this amazing Chinese ointment
for Kotel's back
and headphones with the beat
that you like, 180 BPM,
real chill, huh?
And there's freshly ground coffee
on the stove, we'll drink some and...
Parliament, two ten-packs.
Shut your mouth.
Liron Hariri, I'm glad you're here,
the State of Israel needs you.
Are you sure you don't want coffee?
Were you following us?
Your guy Kotel might as well
have been holding up a sign
that says, "I'm here"
and wearing a hat with flashing lights.
Who else knows?
-Who else knows what?
-That we're here.
Oh, only me.
Only you.
As long as you unhooked
everything that needs unhooking.
Shoot me now, no one will know a thing.
-Where did you send your people?
-They won't be back.
-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah.
You'll have to trust me on that.
He's busting your balls, Liron.
No.
-Finish me off and you're scot free.
-Put a bullet through his head.
The only problem is, taking revenge on me
for your father's death
is taking revenge on the wrong person.
Whose idea was the exercise?
Mine.
Who had the trainees
place a two bit explosive at Lerner's?
Me.
Then why do you say you're
the wrong person, huh? You piece of shit.
My father died for nothing
because of your fucking exercise.
-I'm very sorry he's dead.
-You're sorry, huh?
But I'm not that irresponsible.
I was aware of the volatile nature
of the exercise, that's why...
Why are you even talking to him, Liron?
That's why I told Lerner that the Hariris
had nothing to do with what happened.
They'll be back any minute,
let's waste him--
Quiet!
When you talk like this
you belittle not only me,
you belittle the entire central district
of the Israeli police force.
I'm sure you have your sources.
And I'm sure they told you
exactly what they thought happened.
-Yes. But you know better, huh?
-No.
I only know I had nothing to do
with your family's tragedy.
I did some checking up on you,
I did some... what's it called?
Intel gathering. Yes.
Do you know what I realized?
I realized that...
your role is to mess with people,
you're a first class talker.
But this time
all your fancy talk won't help.
Hold on, hold on, hear me out.
No, you hear me out, you fucker.
What business did you
and my father have, huh?
Nothing. Two strangers.
He never saw you, never heard about you
and he never imagined that a scumbag
like you would be the death of him.
What you did...
What you did was like a game to you, huh? What counts is the game, not the results.
'Cause what's the worst that can happen,
huh?
As long as my exercise goes smoothly,
the thugs can kill one another.
And for that you deserve to die.
For thinking nothing of us,
for looking down at my father
as if we was an ant you can squash.
Hold it. Can I say my final words
before you execute me?
It's customary. May I?
It is good to die for our country.
Nope, that's taken.
Killing me will be the dumbest thing
you've ever done and you're no dummy.
Not only will you be doing the person
who blew up your father a big favor,
but you'll be missing out
on the opportunity of a lifetime.
I want to tell you why I invited you here.
You invited us?
Yes, he invited us.
I have a business proposal for you.
Go fuck yourself.
Let's talk about this, Liron.
Mr. Moshayev, bravo.
Finally, a man with reason.
- Hello.
-Hi, Nachumi, what's up?
- I'm fine Avi, how are you?
-Not bad.
- How's your daughter?
-She's fine. Tell me,
have you spoken
to the babysitter recently?
Yesterday at noon, she sounded fine.
Why? Isn't she answering your calls?
No, no sound, no image. Dead.
Okay, I'll try a remote hookup,
or do you want a technician
in the Ukraine?
No, there's no need. I...
I'm on my way as we speak.
- Well, it must be from the roof.
-What do you mean?
The main server is on the roof
and it's lousy.
I see.
Look, the building is ancient.
We have a long history of malfunctions.
It hasn't been operational in years,
only you guys in training
still use that dump.
Okay, got it.
Thanks, Nachumi. Say hi to the girls.
-He's lying, Liron.
-Okay, so where are they?
They would never
have endangered him like this.
The man's all ego,
maybe he didn't tell them everything.
-Maybe.
-Maybe.
Is "maybe"
worth 20 years in the can, Liron?
And I mean 20 years in solitary,
this guy is in security.
Damn it, Kotel,
the man said we'd beat the rap.
-He's lying.
-Why would he?
If he was lying,
he would have said they know we're here.
Reverse psychology.
What?
He's not on the up and up, Liron.
He's telling you a lie you wouldn't expect
of him, so you think it's the truth.
If he told you what you want to hear,
you'd know that he's lying.
So is he lying or not?
He has a plan, Liron.
If he did, it didn't work,
or he's stupid enough to think
that he can take us on by himself.
Whatever, you guys keep
shooting the breeze, we're goners.
He's right, we're wasting our time.
Look at you, like some pigheaded Kavkaz.
Then what do you suggest?
That we forget about it and leave?
Now, we'll take him out,
but in our own good time.
I don't mean to interrupt,
your discussion is valid,
but you're lacking some major information.
Let me ice him, Liron. Let me.
Beyond whether you've been exposed or not,
there's a question
that's just as important...
why are you even here?
Can you bring me my keyboard?
-What for?
-To work in an orderly fashion.
I'll tell it to you like it is,
I want us to cooperate.
A few days of work at the end of which
you will be very nicely rewarded.
-Are you jerking me around?
-Why would I? We do this every so often,
hire professionals for a specific job.
Our problem, Liron,
is that we're dealing with people
who operate outside the norm.
-What people?
-People like you,
criminals, drug dealers to be exact.
They are part
of a Ukrainian distribution ring.
Press the arrow, on the bottom.
My friends,
they died two days ago,
two very senior agents.
The Ukrainians slaughtered them.
What do you want from me, a tissue?
Those people were our parents' age,
they should have been retired.
They didn't die for money,
they died for your country.
They died for the flag.
Don't tell me
that it doesn't faze you, Liron.
I know who you are.
You were an officer in the army.
You did six tours of Lebanon.
Gaza was your home for eight months.
You love your country,
even more than you hate me,
I know that for sure.
That's why I think you will help us.
The idea is to set up a deal
with the Ukrainians,
a real deal,
with real top notch criminals,
the profits are yours.
I'm talking huge sums of money,
goods that are worth a lot.
Sounds strange, huh? I know
you're here for a different purpose,
but you can always kill me, am I right?
When all this is over,
if you're still interested,
I'll give you the opportunity,
you have my word.
Oh, yeah?
Scroll a few pictures down.
I knew it!
I said they'd be back and they are.
All this fuckin' talk. I told you so!
-What's going on?
-Get up, you cocksucker.
Do you know her?
Talk.
No, why would I? Maybe she's a neighbor.
I thought a pro like you
is supposed to know all his neighbors.
Maybe she's visiting a neighbor,
how do I know?
What's your boss doing here?
The head of training is your boss, right?
Yona?
-You're Avigail, right?
-Yes.
-Do you recognize me?
-No.
Try to remember, maybe you forgot.
-Am I supposed to know you? Yona!
-Hey!
Don't look at him, look at me.
Nothing?
Liron Hariri.
I was insulted there for a moment.
This is what you call,
"two birds with one stone."
Do you have any idea
what you got yourself into?
You think this is some apartment
in some posh area
that you and your guys break into
for some measly 200 shekels and a TV?
This is a classified security facility.
I'm no lawyer,
but I think that just by being here
you deserve to be in prison...
-No! You son of a bitch!
-Shut up!
Finally a reaction, huh?
No more joking around.
-She has nothing to do with us.
-Oh, she doesn't, huh?
She's your commander, isn't she?
-You're both murderers.
-Based on your logic,
you should take out the Mossad chief,
the defense minister and prime minister.
Liron, get a grip,
start thinking straight.
So no one knows a thing, huh?
If she doesn't know about us
and she's your boss...
I told you I'm not lying.
Liron, we can solve this easily.
You already have.
Kotel...
-What's going on?
-Why are you here?
You came all the way to the Ukraine
to tell me what you think of me?
-Is that what you think? Idiot.
-Then why are you here?
I'm here to help.
I thought you needed me.
You helped me,
you screwed up my plan.
-What plan?
-Never mind.
-Where are the trainees?
-I sent them away.
-Why?
-I didn't want them to be involved in...
What's going on, Mitzi?
Why do I hear talking?
Shut the fuck up.
Okay.
Since we're all here,
might as well talk about the exercise.
To get a better understanding.
-I told you...
-Not you.
Talk.
These exercises come with procedures
and security measures.
We don't want to endanger anyone,
not our trainees, not our targets.
And it's customary to choose people
like my father as a target?
-No.
-No? Explain.
The last course was experimental.
Oh, yeah? "Experimental."
What does that mean?
To see what happens
when you ignite two people
who've been trying
to kill each other for a long time?
-I told you that I met with Lerner...
-Did I give you permission to talk?
-Is that true?
-Yes.
Liar.
-What do you want?
-The truth.
-The truth?
-Yes.
The truth is that it couldn't be helped,
that's the truth.
-What?
-That your father be killed.
That's the world he lived in.
And that's why you're angry,
not at me and not at Yona,
but at your helplessness.
Don't mess with me.
I asked you a simple question!
What simple answer do you want?
Who's to blame for your father's death?
Is that what you want to know?
Whatever I say won't convince you,
because deep down
you feel that
there's only one person to blame...
you.
But it wasn't your fault, Liron,
and what you're doing now
won't help you forgive yourself.
You're right.
I can't forgive myself.
And I don't intend to forgive you.
In a few minutes this building
will come down over your heads.
Go see how Kotel is doing.
Sure thing.
Kotel, Liron is asking if you're done.
He's so stressed out,
he says we gotta bail right now.
Do you see this pipe?
It's the central gas pipe,
I have to blow it up.
-Just a minute.
-You mean a minute or an hour?
Hurry up, Grandma, how long
does it take to rig up explosives?
It has to look like an accident,
it's more complicated.
You're singing?
Are you serious? You're singing now?
Listen, Kotel,
if you don't finish now, I swear...
If you get in my way it'll take more time.
Fuck, how did this all go to shit?
Why did that chick have to come now?
-Dude... it doesn't bother you? At all?
-What?
Bringing the building down on the dame.
-Because she's a woman?
-Yes.
The fact that she's got a muff
doesn't give her immunity.
-And kids?
-What about them?
Let's say
there were small kids in the building,
-would you waste them too?
-Why, your God doesn't waste kids?
Ever heard of SIDS?
But you're not God.
You have to divert your anger
to your real enemies, Liron.
Oh, yeah?
And who are my real enemies?
I have to tell you
who your real enemies are?
As long as you're in the Ukraine,
they're having a field day, my friend.
Everything your father built
is going to hell.
Did you hear that from
your friends in the police, too?
The vast enterprise that he built
is being squandered.
The drug trafficking, the loan sharking,
the extortion, the whores...
You don't give up, huh?
I want to help you, Liron,
let me help you.
Thank you for the job offer.
I don't think it'll work out.
Are you done?
-Now you come, kiddies?
-We waited for your signal.
And nothing of what you saw indicated
that the plan had gone awry?
You could have told me
that this was going to happen.
Drop the gun.
You drop your guns
or I'll blow his head off.
Oh, come on.
Shut your mouth.
Think of this as a chess game,
your opponent took your bishop and rook
and he's threatening the king.
It's three against one, not a tie.
Shut the fuck up, you son of a bitch.
-Blow him away, Liron.
-Hey, cool it.
My guys won't drop their guns,
and that's a fact.
Because if they will,
you'll kill me and them,
so... what good will that do?
Is this an exercise or is it for real?
It's totally real, Gilad.
On the other hand,
you can sacrifice the bishop and rook
and shoot me,
but take into account
that you could die, too.
Checkmate,
that's where we're at.
Make a decision!
You bastard.
Very nice, fine decision.
Way to go.
What's your name?
Don't be a drag.
Nice to meet you, Menachem Shapira.
You can call me Menny. Or Mitzi.
My friends call me Mitzi.
You must be asking yourself,
why Mitzi, huh?
I'm glad you asked.
What are the qualities of a cat?
I mean, how is a cat unique
in the nature kingdom?
No matter where he lands,
he always makes out okay.
Throw him off the roof, he lands
on his feet, doesn't need any favors.
As the good book says,
"The more they afflicted them,
the more they multiplied
and spread abroad."
-Mitzi, how about shutting up?
-You shut up, Kotel.
You want me to explain the verse?
I know what it means.
So you're religious?
-Do you observe the commandments?
-Do you?
-I try, with God's help.
-How do you try?
"With God's help?" You and your friends
planned to murder two people.
Hey, it's not murder, it's justice.
-An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
-You have no idea what you're saying.
You just throw verses out there.
You have no clue what they mean.
I knew it, you're religious.
I could tell from the get-go,
something about your projection.
-What? Are you making friends?
-He won't shut up.
Then shut it for him, you have the gun.
Behind his back.
-Not so tight, it'll stop the blood flow.
-Alright.
-That's it, excellent.
-Yeah, this is better.
People,
safety distance, stay alert,
don't take your eyes off them.
I'm going to take a nap.
Good night.
-Don't do that.
-I have no choice.
Give me five minutes to talk,
now that I'm not tied
and you're not trying to pacify
a high strung criminal.
That criminal is here
because you invited him.
-True.
-Why?
-Because I need him.
-Why?
I'll tell you everything
but first, stop what you're doing.
First of all,
you don't tell me what to do.
Second, enough!
I can't control you, you totally lost it.
You're no longer a part of the system,
if you ever were.
You don't have to control me,
you have to work with me.
Really? I have to work with you?
Go fuck yourself.
Listen, what's going on here is bigger
than that filing clerk could ever know.
-Mossad chief's office. Yes, Avigail?
-I need to speak to the chief.
It's on record, it'll take them
three minutes to get back to me.
-Three minutes is enough. Listen to me.
-No, you listen to me.
These criminals will be vacated,
this incident will be recorded,
that means your career is over.
You'll come back with me
and you'll get the treatment you need.
Mossad chief's office
returning Avigail's call.
You look familiar.
I suspected earlier, now I got it.
East side of Rishon Lezion?
I lived there for a year.
Algawy, right?
Where did you move to?
Jerusalem.
And you're here because you know Arabic?
I'm not talking to you.
The gun doesn't suit you, Algawy.
Gilad, move away.
Go!
Okay, my offer still stands,
prison or cooperation?
Those are your options.
You're not the first one
to make me that offer.
This is a different world, Liron,
I'm not a cop or a prosecutor.
All I want is for you to be you.
Maybe you'll learn something
in the process.
Yona, what are you doing?
Give me a week.
You know what, make that four days.
Yona!
I don't cooperate
with a gun pointed at my head.
You're right.
Yona, I'm warning you.
Is this better?
He's still pointing a gun at my head.
Drop your weapons.
-Drop your weapons now!
-No one drop their gun!
Yona, stop.
Move.
Tobi
Move.
Amy, Gilad, I remind you
that Yona answers to me,
-I'm the senior commander here.
-You can go.
Get up already.
No one is leaving!
This is yours, isn't it?
Promise me you'll give my offer
some serious thought.
Did you hear me? No one moves,
no one drops their weapon.
Let them go!
Go.
I swear, the man's a psycho!
Mossad, my foot,
he should be committed to an asylum.
Damn, we should have wasted him
from the get go.
Now we're really screwed.
I'm telling you, Liron,
with all due respect,
this is a remote control job,
Dragunovs, snipers on the door...
-No Dragunovs! It's over.
-Why?
You really want to know?
With all due respect, Baruch,
it's not your call
and I don't think it's dignified
that Liron give the man a pardon.
-There will be no pardon. We wait.
-How long?
As long as it takes.
Sure, why not?
Let's let him die of old age,
why don't we?
Do hear yourself, Kotel?
Did he scare you
with that load of hot air?
We don't have to take him out here,
we can do it at home.
One day he'll get in his car...
Who's the top brass at 433
now that Mizrachi retired?
Waldman, why?
Waldman is no good, I don't trust him,
I need someone who wasn't involved
in the case, an outsider.
Liron, we know what happened,
don't let him mess with your head.
Go to the hotel.
I know I seemed...
Tell me what you're thinking.
Doris and Aaron,
in some ways they raised you,
you were fond of them,
then they betrayed you,
and then you had to erase them.
That's rough.
You're forgetting...
something in between,
someone slaughtered them.
-Right.
-And you don't care who?
Because I do.
As far as the office is concerned,
they were two agents who strayed.
It happens,
not everyone can resist the temptation.
I liked Doris and Aaron too, but...
they were felons who got in
over their heads and paid the price.
On a personal level, of course it's sad,
but this was a criminal matter
that had nothing to do with us.
Had you listened to me -and not lost control...
-I lost control?
You lost control. I'm trying to tell you that the criminal angle
is just part of the story.
The money launderer, Kirikesh,
who does he work for?
Mainly cartels.
Hizbollah, Iran, Jabhat al-Nusra.
You're trying to find a story
when there is none.
Why would I do that?
Because you used to be at the epicenter
of things and now you're...
-A babysitter.
-A course instructor.
What's this?
I don't know, a scribble.
This scribble...
Doris drew it for me in her blood.
Now take another look
and tell me what it is.
Capricorn, Abu Mahmoud al-Kasam.
Pisces, Amar al-Rafdan.
Leo, Abu Muhammad al-Makdesi. Who's left?
Taurus, al-Hamdi.
Al-Hamdi, who is supposed to be in Syria,
killed Doris in the Ukraine
and before she died
she drew a Mossad signal?
-No, I didn't say that.
-Then what are you saying?
Avi, there's a reason
I was following Doris.
She was my agent.
She drew this for me.
ISIS.
Al-Hamdi, yes.
They have something to do with this mess.
I'm going to get a glass of water.
Can I get you anything?
-You owe me.
-What?
You can't wash your hands
of the situation I'm in. You can't.
You made me burn their faces off! You!
You're the reason I'm here,
doing this job,
instead of doing something I'm good at,
something I love.
You're the one who divorced me,
you're the one who broke my heart,
you're the one who hooked up with a man
who called himself my best friend
and had a baby with him. You!
What do you want?
I want a professional courtesy.
Can you give that to me?
A few fucking days to do this my way,
that's what I need from you,
can you give that to me?
I want to leave the room.
You owe me.
We better not miss the flight.
I never thought
Liron would let him off the hook.
No one let him off the hook.
And what was all that talk
about the cops, huh?
Now he doesn't believe he did it?
I swear, the man messed with his head.
Could you please pack?
Alright, bro. By the time you pack
one suitcase I can pack six.
Let's just say I won't miss this dump.
I never thought it would end like this.
It's not over, Gilad.
We'll get a different instructor,
hopefully a sane one this time
and we'll complete this course.
Yes, but one of the bosses
has to tell us what's going on.
-Go ask him.
-To be honest, I feel sorry for him.
Why?
He almost got us killed.
What are you doing?
Did someone tell you to pack?
No. We just assumed
that after what happened...
Yes? So?
What so, Avigail?
The man lost it, you saw for yourself.
Every second we're around him
endangers us all.
He proved that to us
for the umpteenth time.
This isn't the first time he's done this.
He brushed off the exercise,
every safety regulation,
the procedures, us.
He's drunk all the time,
he's not focused...
No one's perfect.
What? Are you kidding?
I know this may sound strange,
but I think you're privileged
to have Yona as your instructor.
With all his faults and hang-ups,
Yona Harari is one of the finest handlers
the office has ever had.
I'm blushing.
Why did you stop?
As you know,
two of our people were killed
the day before yesterday.
Yona asked that you take on
an actual, time restricted operation
in order to find out what was going on.
I approved his request because I trust you
and I believe in him.
An operation like this can only succeed
if we believe in one another.
Lovely speech, but it still doesn't
explain what went down here today.
Let's just say it was...
a failed recruitment attempt
and move on, alright?
Why "failed?"
-Mitzi, do you hear me?
-I hear you.
Don't make contact with Gregory,
contact the target always
through a third party.
My big boss come to Ukraine,
let's make a deal.
This is not a game, people are getting
killed, don't meddle in my work.
You're not really
in favor of his plan, are you?
Not really.
-Are you drinking on assignment?
-You're getting on my nerves.
Go back to the house. I'm uncomfortable
leaving the trainees with them.
I'm uncomfortable
leaving you alone with him.
Why? What will happen?
Man, your ex-wife is amazing.
Who divorces a woman like that?
Do you want to make a deal with us?
Something stinks.
Gilad, they're there, they're there!
