Our Boys (2019): Season 1, Episode 3 - Chapter 3: Two Packs of Red Next - full transcript

I want water,

I have to wash before praying.

I want to pray.

I'll get you some water.
Get inside.

Does he know we found a body?

No.

We isolated him
and took his phone

before we had a clear picture.

But then...

we asked him to describe
the bey's underwear

so he may understand.



He doesn't understand.

Until the official announcement,
they don't understand.

We're better off this way.

Best he thinks his son is alive

otherwise the gay/not gay angle
is shot.

Jews would never do this.

You sure? -Yes.
-So is my mother.

"Thank God Jews didn't do this,
take care."

Just like my mother.

Let's recruit them.

Fishman!

Fishman!

What have you found?

Entering the store...



and exiting.

It's them.

It's them.

Bingo.

What do you think?

A Honda, maybe a Toyota.

It's hard to tell. -Yes.

There's a security camera
over the shop.

Let's send someone down there.

Hello, Hussein.
Abu Iyad, right?

My name is Simon,
I'm from the Shabak.

Please, sit down.

I'm in charge of investigating
your son's disappearance.

My son was kidnapped,
he didn't disappear.

I know you're wearied
about your son.

How do you feel?

You must be fasting,
but if you want anything, just ask.

I want my phone back
to see how my family is.

Here.

You can use my phone.

I won't call before I know
what happened to Mohammed.

Where is he?

You're the second person today
who said he's in charge.

What's going on?
Are you toying with me?

From now on,
you only talk to me.

Jews may have abducted him,

we're investigating this lead
in earnest.

I'm supervising the investigation.

But I can't yet rule that Jews kidnapped
him.

Since this morning
you've been saying they're not Jews,

but in the video
it's obvious that they're Jews.

Who else would kidnap him?

Why would Arabs abduct him?
-That's what I'm trying to figure out.

I saw the video footage

and some things we know,
indicate a different direction.

Trust me.

All I want to know
is who abducted him.

Can you help me?

What do you know about
Mohammed's routine?

He's a kid, like any other kid,

he's a student and...

it's summer vacation,
so he's working with me.

So if he wanted to go abroad,
you would've known about it.

Of course.

So you knew he was planning
to go to Turkey?

I bought him the ticket.

Here it is.

Here.

Was he planning to go with his friend Khaled?

Yes.
-To the dabkeh festival?

Could be.

Do he and Khaled dance the dabkeh?

We all dance the dabkeh.

At weddings, school parties.

Why does that matter?

Were you at my house?
-No.

Where did you get this picture

One of his friend's phones.

That's a picture from last year,

he was on a school trip to Tel Aviv.

The kids had a contest, he won...

Why the interest in this picture

Ever heard of Toto?

No, who's Toto?

We don't know either.

But this Toto guy is from Istanbul,
they communicated with one another.

They're very close.

Is Toto even an Arabic name?

No.

Maybe a Turkish name?

Maybe.

Look,

I must ask you,

though it's distressing,

is there any reason
Mohammed would want to run away?

Was he afraid of something?

Of what? Why would he run away?

Maybe because he's gay?

Who is gay?

Mohammed.

Why would you say that about him?!

Don't answer me now.

Think about it.

Think back on what you know.

Maybe you'll view things
in a different light.

Forget family honor
and all the Arab stuff.

promise it'll be between us.

This is the moment of truth, Hussein.

Maybe someone knew
and threatened him.

I'll be right back.

Mom, give me your flip-flops.

Where's Avi?

With the commissioner.

I need Hussein's phone,
where is it?

You want the number?
-The phone.

I want the phone.
-Oh.

It's at the lab.
-Here in the building?

Yes, but it's evidence.
-Get it for me.

I can't...

Set it for me. New.

Yes?

Give me something good,
any progress with the car?

We may have located a camera

with an angle on the car
and whoever was in it.

They entered a store in Beit Hanina.

Great, so what's the problem?

We don't have access
to that camera.

Why?

It's a war zone in there.

Simon, it's right in Beit Hanina,
there's no way in.

Then find a way.

Find a way,
because this can't wait.

There's a camera
on every pole in Jerusalem

and you can't get me
one clear image of that car.

Find a way.
-Okay.

We'll go in.

I won't tell you anything unless
you tell me what happened to Mohammed.

Your phone.

See if it works.

Maybe the battery's dead.
I'll get you a charger.

Abu Iyad, what I have
to tell you is difficult.

We found a body.

The body of a boy...

in the Jerusalem Forest.

You call it Deir Yassin.

We don't know if it's your son.

We're looking into it.

When your wife gets here,

we'll perform a DNA test
and see.

Why don't you know who it is?

We don't have a definitive ID yet.

I'm sorry, Abu Iyad.

If anything happened to my son,
it's your fault.

God forbid,
if anything happened to him...

You've been holding me here since dawn
instead of going after the kidnappers

and now you want me to help you?

Why?

To prove that my son is gay?

Or there was some dispute?

What else do you want to make up?

I understand your anger, Abu Iyad,

but I must.

We're checking all options...
-You know exactly what happened.

They tried to abduct the Saif boy
the night before.

Had you investigated and caught them
then,

my son would be home now.
What boy are you talking about?

From Beit Hanina.

Yesterday... no, the day before.

They tried to kidnap a boy!

What?

You don't know
what I'm talking about?

Did the police arrive?
-Yes, the police came.

What did the police do?
What did they do?

Even you guys, the Shabak,
don't know anything.

You don't know what happened.

If he was Jewish,
they'd act like heroes.

But because he's an Arab,
you're like clueless idiots!

Tell me,

what do you know ab^ouit
the abduction in Beit Kanina'?

What abduction?

Exactly.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Simon, what abduction?

Simon!

Don't leave the car out there,
they'll smash it,

the place is on fire
because of Abu Khdeir.

You're right.

Okay, guys, let's buy quickly
and get out of here.

What's going on?! Why are you closing
up?

Police, we want to check
the security cameras.

Why are you closing the door?
-Everything's fine, calm down.

Calm down, calm down.
Everything's fine.

We want to check your security cameras
and we're outta here.

Where's the camera's hard drive?

Fast forward a little.

Stop at 1:10:25.

1:10:25.

Okay.

Full screen the outer image.

Okay.

Alina, take this down.

Okay, Honda Civic.

Model, around 5 years ago.

I'll send the footage
to mechanics for an ID.

Color - brown or mouse gray,

run a trace with what you got.

Okay.

Go back to the inside cameras.

In the shop.

A little more.

A little more.

That's it, stop.

Rewind a little.

Stop.

That's them.

Fast forward a little.

Stop.

Zoom in.

Do you have a better angle?

If you have a security camera,
why not place it so you can see faces?

It's so we can see
if the employees are stealing.

Were you here last night?
-No.

Fauzi was here.

Okay, where is Fauzi?

He went on a pilgrimage
this morning.

To Mecca.

Call him.

He's not answering.

Give him his contact info.

Okay?

Give me his details.

We're taking the hard disk with us.

Ramzi, yes? -Yes.
-Ramzi what?

Ramzi Salah. Listen, bro...
-No "bro," okay?

What?

Why didn't you pass this on?

We did, bro.

We took all the'security cameras
and reported to dispatch.

But there was no ID on the car.

We mentioned it
at the morning briefing.

And what happened at the briefing?

We called the father, no answer.
-The father arrived right after the incident.

He even said they could be Arabs.

We told him to file a report, but...

he didn't show.
-You told him to file a report?

A boy was abducted
and you tell him to file a report?

You don't understand.
-What don't I understand?

You know how many calls we get?

How many stories we hear?

It's a daily thing.

Every day another story,

"The settlers burned this,
destroyed that,"

then it turns out
it was a beef over a cigarette

and all hell breaks loose.

You're not out in the streets.

You don't know this city.
-Oh yeah?

Then explain it to me.

Tell me what this city is about,

how there are insane Jewish protests

and we're on high alert
for retaliation.

And all the stations
got the memo.

The victims tell you
it was a nationalist incident..

They said they were settlers,
what settlers?

The mother was totally biased.
-That's enough.

Listen, it's unrelated.

That was a criminal case.

It'll turn out to be spme punk
trying to steal from the kid.

You'll see.
-Fine.

Get everything you got off the cameras
to our lab

and bring the entire family in.

The mother, father, the kid,
whoever was there.

I want to talk to them.

Good day to our listeners,
this is the 2 o'clock news.

Many incidents are ongoing
since the early morning hours.

A burnt body was found in
Deir Yassin Forest in occupied Jerusalem.

According to Palestinian sources...

It's not him.
You know how many Palestinians go missing

and no one cares?

I know three myself,

one girl from Jerusalem
and one from Birzeit.

And the guy from Hebron
who disappeared two days ago.

When you get home,
your son will be there, you'll see.

Do you like to draw?
What do you like to draw?

Is that a house?

Daoud.

He hardly talks since the incident,
he can't sleep.

We took him to a doctor that night,

he said it will take time,
but it will pass.

That's fine, let him draw,
we'll carry on.

Do you remember
what the kidnapper looked like?

I told him,
he had glasses and black hair.

But you said settlers!

Why did you say settlers?

That's not what I meant...

They looked like the Jews
who come to take over our homes.

That's not what you said.
-Hold on.

You say they were Jews.

How do you know?

Who else could it be?
Everyone said so.

Who is everyone?

Whoever was there.

But they only came
after the incident,

explain it to me.

But they heard the guy
in the car shouting.

What did they hear?

You said you didn't see
who was in the car.

Wait.

Go on.

I didn't,
he was alone in the dark car,

but he shouted to the man outside,
he got in and they drove away.

What did he shout?

Something.

In Arabic? Hebrew?

At first I couldn't believe
that Jews could do this,

grab a kid off our main street?

Right,

you're the one who said
it must be Arabs.

I said that?

I arrived after they left.

You said,
"They must be Arabs."

Me? -'We have a dispute
with the Salame clan."

Don't put words in my mouth.

What then?

Then why d id n 't you file
an official report?

I'm a bus driver!
I couldn't leave the morning shift.

Even if I filed a report,
what would you do?

You were there.

I'm so sorry...

you're still fasting,
it must be difficult.

Thank you.

So...

I'll come back and tell you
if the samples are good, okay?

Wait for me here.

Can I get you anything?

No.

It's not him.

They told you that?

I can feel it.

I heard talk of a boy
from Jerusalem... from Hebron,

he's been missing for two days.

They don't understand.

They ask personal questions
that are irrelevant.

Does he know I bought him
the ticket to Istanbul?

Mohammed? Yes, I told him.

Before he left this morning.

He ate suhoor,
drank some tea,

we sat down and talked,

he even hugged me.

Was he happy?

Yes, he was happy.

When this is over

I'll sit with him,

I want to explain to him...

why I behaved the way I did.

Drink some water.

No, Khaled.

Iyad.

I didn't abandon Mohammed.

I fell asleep,
I didn't know this would happen.

See? That's the mother.

This is when she hears
the boy screaming.

And here's the car.

And this is the car
from the Abu Khdeir incident.

Okay.

Tell Simon it's likely the same car
from the incident the night before.

Honda Civic, between 2008-2010,

it's got the same antenna.

No confirmation on the color yet.

He's with the boy
and his parents.

We can ask them.

Send him a Honda catalog
with the colors of this model.

It could help.

That's nice.

You draw so well.

What color is the car?

Here, take any color you want.

The color of the car isn't here?

No.

Which of these cars is it?

Gray?

Are you sure?
-Yes.

Who is this?

My brother Yamen.

And who is this?

The martyr.

What martyr?

Mohammed.

Mohammed Abu Khdeir?

He was there?

Are you sure?

You see, it's all fantasies.

Take them home.

Thank you,
you've been very helpful.

Dark gray.

Confirmed.

How are you?

How do you feel?

The samples are fine.

We sent them to the lab,

we'll have answers in a few hours.

I'll call you...
-Why can't you make an identification?

Either it's him...

or it's not him.

You know what Mohammed looks like,
what he was wearing.

What happened?

Listen... I'll call you

so you have my number.

I'll take this, because...

your battery is at 60 percent.

This isn't right.
I want to talk to the guy

who said he's in charge
of this investigation.

I want to talk to him.

This isn't/ight.

but I'll tell him
you want to talk to him.

And?

You can go.

There are..

many rumors going around

the news and the Internet,
I suggest you don't read them.

What they're saying is unfounded.

Just disregard them.

That's my opinion.

Is there a Fauzi Salhab'?

Fauzi Salhab?

Yes.

Your ID?

I speak Hebrew. What's wrong?

Nothing, we just want
to talk to you.

But I'm with my family.

It's okay,
please come with us.

The first night,
two nights ago, 1 a.m.

Here he is in Beit Hanina,

in the corner you see
the attempt to kidnap

Daoud Saif.

They fail,
beeause the mother resists.

Here you see them
leaving Beit Hanina,

getting on Highway 443

and leaving the city.

Now, the second night,
last night.

Here they enter this shop, Sirdab,
at around 1 a.m.

It's the same vehicle
as the night before.

Gray Honda Civic, 2009-2010.

We can't identify the license plate,
but there's a scratch on the fender

and this antenna.

The problem is
the vehicle is extremely generic,

all the leasing
and rental companies use it,

there are around
2,500 like it nationwide.

We've narrowed it down to 350.

The police will dispatch officers
to these vehicles

but it will take time,
they don't have the manpower.

They're all at the riots.

Okay, now we're in Suh'afat,
at the scene.

They get off at Begin Street,

turn into Kiryat Moshe

and continue to Angel bakery.

Here.

This is the final footage of them

from the camera
at Angel's Bakery,

en route to the forest.

So they were there the first night
looking for a random victim, but failed.

They came back the next night
with another guy,

found another victim,

totally random.

So can we rule out
the criminal angle?

Unless the two victims
are connected.

What do you mean?

Maybe they're from the same family.

Eli, put the small screen on five.

Someone is trying to hurt the family.
-Why do you say that?

Channel 2, bro.

You say the family complained
two days ago

that the victim's brother
was kidnapped.

Yes, a 9-year-old,
the police receive a report

that a boy was abducted in Beit Hanina,

but a few minutes later
the boy's father arrives

and tells the officers
it wa'sh't Jews;, it was Arabs

who tried to abduct the boy.

We're talking about
the 9-year-old brother

of Mohammed Abu Khdeir
who was murdered this moiiriirng.

Eli, turn that off.

Who put that bullshit out there?

The police...

This kid has nothing to do
with Abu Khdeir.

Calm down,
everything's fine.

I want to show you something.

You work there, right?

Yes. -At Sirdab.

Yes, I work there.

This is from last night.

1 a.m.

Remember them?

Yes, they bought
cigarettes and Blu.

Blu?

Blu, an energy drink.

How do you remember?

You must get hundreds in there,
especially during the Ramadan.

But not Jews,
and not at that hour.

Why do you say Jews?
Did they look like Jews?

Yes, they spoke Hebrew.

Are you sure?
-Absolutely.

At first he said nothing,
I addressed him in Arabic.

He gestured with his hands,
I didn't understand.

So he said, "Give me two packs
of Red Next," in Hebrew.

No one pays any attention to them
in the store, in the parking lot,

no one talks to them,

they don't arouse any suspicion.

Yes, but no one is saying hello either.

They don't look stressed at all.

If they're Jews about to kidnap a kid,
they should be scared shitless.

The gesture of the guy
in the light shirt.

That's someone groping
for his skullcap...

Hold on, Simon.

Are you 100 percent sure?

Thanks, Pini.

The cashier from Sirdab,

they were speaking Hebrew.

For sure?

Thank you, let's proceed.

Our killers are Jews.

"The Dawn Martyr - Mohammed"

Good afternoon.
-To you, too.

Are you lost?

Maybe, where am I?

Nowhere.

Either you're on your way
or you're lost.

I went to high school in this area.

Bayit VeGan, you know it?

Sure.

I have memories from this place.

I haven't been here in 30 years.

Do you go to school around here?

Ever heard of Shaarei Yosher Yeshiva?

Why would you?

It's the ugly building over there,
in Har Not.

Do you come here often?

Do we come here often?

Depends who's asking.

In the evening, to chill ouit,
have a barbecue.

A little nature to free the mind.
It's nice here, right?

There was this big mess earlier.

Cops and whatnot.

You know why?
-Sure, because of this morning.

You mean the murder?

Was that here?

Right here.
-Oh yeah?

Shocking, huh?
-Those guys are animals.

They poured gasoline down his throat
and set him on fire.

No way...
-Yeah.

When it comes to family honor,
Arabs have no mercy.

"Family honor"

He was gay...

I just read the whole story.

That Abu Khdeir guy was gay.

He had a sugar daddy in Beit Hanina
who supported him.

His family found out,

his uncle.
You know his uncle was a terrorist?

He did 20 years in prison.

In any case, that uncle...

did what had to be done.

Wow. -Yeah.

Terrible.

Those animals dumped him here
and set him on fire.

Where did you get the idea?

I heard the news
about the body that was found.

I knew what was going to happen.

I got angry.

Instead of talking about those devils
who killed three innocent Jewish boys,

everyone will be talking about
the fact that Israel is racist.

It's a tragic distortion of reality.

What time did you hear about it?

On the morning news.

The second I saw the picture
I knew what I had to do.

Which is?

I went to that gay website.

"Open House."

I posted something
that has nothing to do with them.

It was amazing.

Within minutes I got texts
that the boy was gay.

Even I believed it...

You listen to me, you scum.

We wasted an entire day
and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

And for what?

You idiot.

You'll see, this murder will be
remembered as an honor killing forever.

Arabs killed a fag,
that's how it is.

That's how you form public opinion.

That in itself
is worth a few cents.

Listen,

narrow the list of Honda Civic owners
to the area around the forest.

Kiryat Yovel,
Bayit VeGan, Har Nof,

they knew the forest well.

What about Beit Zayit? Ein Karem?

No, let's start with
the religious neighborhoods.

Okay, I'll send it to you.

Great.

Okay, where are you?

Looking for a place to pray.

"Ben-David, Shalom"

"24 Parnas Street, Har Not, Jerusalem"

I don't see a Honda Civic.

Maybe he's not home.

He's 67, head of a yeshiva.

Can't we cross him off the list?

Yes, but I'm here,
so I might as well...

Do you have the yeshiva's address?

56 Kalish St. Har Nof, Jerusalem.

Ohel Aharon Yeshiva.

I'll go there now.

Send me the details on the Honda,
license, etc.

Done.

The Shahid's father has arrived,
he's here!

Welcome back, Abu Iyad.
How are you?

When will they give him to you?

They don't know anything yet.

What's with all the rioting?

I told you, no trouble
until Mohammed comes back.

Come back from where? He's..

You're right, we should wait.

Why are you crying, my daughter?
We don't know anything yet.

How are you, my dear grandson?

Where's Iyad?

"Ohel Aharon"

Rabbi Shalom Ben-David?

Yes?

May I have a moment of your time?

Who are you?

What is this about?

Best we talk in private.

No need to be alarmed.

Come with me.

I'm listening.

I'm looking for a Honda Civic
that's registered to you.

I don't drive
and I don't own a car.

But it's registered in your name.

Look.

Did something happen
with this car?

Not necessarily,

but the driver of a similar car
witnessed an incident we're investigating

so I'm looking for the owner.

It's routine,
there are hundreds of cars just like it,

we're going one by one.

I think it's my son's car.

Your son's?

Yes.

What's his name?

Yosef Haim.

Yosef Haim Ben-David?
-Yes.

How old is he?

I have 11 children,
God bless them.

I don't remember their ages, but...

he should be around 30.

He's the youngest.

That's wonderful.
-Thank you.

Why is the car registered to you
if you don't drive?

What did you say your name was?

Shimon. -Shimon.

Shimon, we have a guy who deals
with registration and finances,

his name is Aharon Stern.

I'll give you his number,

he'll know more than I do.

As I said, I don't drive.

I hope that's not a problem.

Not at all.

I'm sure everything's fine,

I didn't mean to worry you, Rabbi.

It's totally routine.

What's routine for you
isn't routine for someone else.

I hope I helped you.

And now...

I must get back to my lesson.

You're welcome to join if you like.

Some other time.
-Good luck.

Rami!

Good evening.

Give my best, okay?

You sure you're at the address?
20 Yakinton Street?

Yes. 20 Yakinton Street, Adam.

There's a motorcycle
and a red Smart car. No Honda.

Okay, standby.

Biton, are you in Geula?

Yes, I found his shop,
nothing there.

I'm widening the radius.

Okay, and check the fender
and the antenna.

Yes, sure.

There's a parking lot
of a function hall.

I think this is it.

Simchat Shoshan Function Hall.
50 Strauss Street.

Here we go.

Bingo.

Sit next to your mother and father.

Hello.

This is the time for love

My bride

Come unto my garden

This is the time for love

My bride

Come unto my garden

Revital, focus on each
of the young men for a few seconds.

I want to see
whoever's under 30.

But inconspicuously,
to the beat of the music.
