PMTA (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript
Let's begin.
I know who planted the device.
I know it was meant for me
and not for...
As a prosecutor
they tell you
to ignore your instincts.
They call it "the rule of law".
No heart.
No feelings.
Only evidence.
I'm not like them.
I'm no good at doing what I'm told.
That's why I'm a shitty prosecutor.
Do I feel guilty?
Yes.
Would I do it again?
Yes
Criminal law as a whole
involves the discussion of events
through very limited means.
Democracy cannot survive
without true moral commitment
to the supremacy of the law.
A criminal is not a celebrity.
He's no one to be looked up to.
He belongs outside of society.
In the case before me it has been proven,
beyond a shadow of a doubt,
that the defendant
Eliyahu Morduch
formed and ran a criminal organization
which dealt in drugs and weapons,
using cruel and ruthless methods
to terrorize, extort and exercise violence
against his victims.
This is a verdict
and not the place for thank yous,
but even so this legal result
could not have been reached
without the hard work of many people.
Two of them are here with us.
Chief Inspector Yaakov Vaknin,
who led this investigation,
and his dauntless partner,
Sergeant First Class Marcelle Ben David,
who risked her life
during the defendant's arrest
in order to bring him to justice.
Upon reviewing all charges,
I sentence him to 15 years in prison
and a monetary fine
of 500,000 shekels,
which may be substituted
for three years' imprisonment.
Champ
Advocate Ben David.
-Yes? -The President wants to see you.
He's in his office.
Me?
-Yes. Please.
What does he want?
-I don't know. Go.
You called for me, Your Honor?
-Yes, please.
Do come in.
Sit.
Anything to drink?
A cup of tea?
No, thank you.
Was it serious?
Did you need surgery?
One operation,
a little physiotherapy.
I was lucky.
It was just a torn muscle.
When will you return to service?
-I'm already back.
Advocate Ben David,
you must be wondering why you're here.
Honestly, yes.
In my job I run across
quite a few lawyers, cops,
a lot of self-appointed legal geniuses.
But someone with your sense of justice,
your excellent judgement and daring,
someone with your single-minded focus,
is something you don't see every day.
-Thank you.
I think Your Honor is exaggerating slightly.
There's a prosecutor position opening.
The tender closes in two days.
-What?
You should apply for a job
with the Tel Aviv District Attorney.
That's what I think.
Look, I like the police.
I like my job.
I never thought about...
I mean no disrespect.
But you've been a lawyer with the police
for three years now.
You can and should be doing more.
Marcelle, I have a feeling
that you're just what
the DA's office needs right now.
Here, baby, eat up.
-Thanks.
Is that for the new job?
-Yeah.
This job isn't related to the police, right?
No, Mom.
The DA's office is just lawyers.
Oh. So no gun?
No, Mommy. No Gun.
You can relax.
And your motor bike?
-What about it?
You can't ride that thing
to Tel Aviv every day.
It's really dangerous, honey.
Mom, if I get the job, I...
I won't be able to keep living here.
I'll have to move to Tel Aviv,
to be closer to work.
You'll live alone? In a rented apartment?
Alone, with roommates.
What's the difference?
Everyone does it.
Not us.
Do you know how expensive
the rent is over there?
Why spend your entire salary on it?
Stay here and get yourself a little car.
You think she's a millionaire?
An apartment in Tel Aviv,
a new car.
Who says she's getting the job?
Marcelle.
Marcelle, ignore him.
Bank employees,
stay where you are.
Do not touch any computers or phones,
mobiles included.
We'll be questioning you in order.
Ophir Bergman?
-Yes.
You're under arrest for
false registration of corporate documents.
Excuse me, what's going on?
Leave that.
Rachel Yerushalmi,
you're unde a rest for
theft by an aut ff dfperson.
Ten suspects so far have been arrested
and are being held for questioning
incu mg p ir ergman,
vice president of loans and mortgages.
jiiunn
join press con erence was e o ay
by Minister of Public Security Mano Shalev^U W7F1 |
and the Governor of the Bank of Israel
Avshalom Tevet,
in which the overnor announce
an unprecedented general ban on mortgages.
It's a very high profile case.
Elisha's been handling it for two months now.
How long will the ban last?
As far as I know,
until we file the indictments.
Come in.
Yes?
Marcelle Ben David.
Ah, Ben David.
Yes.
Everyone, meet advocate Marcelle Ben David.
First Senior Deputy to the District Attorney.
Come in.
With us?
How come the prosecutors
are always so pretty?
She's taking over Margalit's job?
Marcelle comes to us from
the Jerusalem District Police.
Now I remember you.
You bagged Morduch, didn't you?
You were injured, right?
What happened?
He shot you?
How much did he get?
10 years?
15.
-Oh.
Well done, Meri.
That's some reinforcement you got us.
Let's keep going.
You'll get the hang of things.
Look, our time is very limited.
We're under a lot of pressure
from above
and we will soon be under
a lot of pressure from the public
because of the mortgage ban.
Where do we stand?
We've been investigating the bank
covertly for two months now.
Recently we identified attempts
to erase some emails
and remove bank documents,
so we had no choice
but to make public arrests.
Who are our leading suspects right now?
Only one suspect
stands up7to burden of proof.
Rachel Yerushalmi,
mortgage clerk at the central branch.
All false mortgages so far
appear to come from her.
Yerushalmi has chosen to remain silent.
e have another high-profile suspect,
Ophir Bergman,
Vice President of Loans at the bank.
He's Yerushalmi's direct superior.
I may not know the inner workings
of each mortgage,
but my name is on the monthly reports,
whic
e mortgages filed
erushalmi.
I'm quite shocked, honestly.
I've known this woman for years.
She's a good worker.
s time she's been...
Well,"
believed Etti Alon
bezzler, either.
We haven't found any evidence
pointing to the VP's involvement in this.
He's got nothing to do with it.
It's true we haven't found
any evidence against him,
but he can't just be a rubber stamp.
An embezzlement this big,
he must have known something.
You want us to charge him
just for being her superior?
You support this kind of precedent?
Only if the evidence supports it.
Then it's only Yerushalmi.
But what's her motive?
Her husband is bankrupt.
He's deep in debt.
So his creditors must be extorting her.
Maybe they're the ones
running this whole thing,
the embezzlement at the bank.
Maybe you didn't hear.
We've been investigating this for two months.
You think we didn't look
into her husband?
Did you figure out which crime organization
he's involved with?
Who says there's a crime organization?
Sweetheart,
not everything is Morduch.
Nati, don't get upset.
It's a legitimate question.
Listen, guys.
I'm all for brainstorming
but we've been working on this case
for over two months
and we've already
discussed these possibilities.
Meri, what's the next step?
The next step?
Marcelle will join your team.
There's a hearing before
judge Ganor on Sunday,
so please get to work.
Hi.
Is this 406?
-Yes.
Are you an intern?
-You too? -Yeah.
Do you know who
we'll be working with?
The Rooster.
-Sorry?
The Rooster.
Elisha Bar-On.
They call him the Rooster.
-Oh, okay.
Mortgage request.
Maybe it's the mortgage case!
What's your name?
-Oh, sorry.
Khalil.
-As in Galil?
Khalil in Arabic means...
a good friend.
-Oh.
I'm Ya'ara. Nice to meet you.
Where did you study?
Oxford.
Oxford?
-Yes. -Really?
Good for you.
Your English must be very good.
I'd say so.
-Very nice.
I plan on studying ab oad too.
I want to get my PhD at Harvard,
at the new international law program there.
Maybe you could...
Sorry, I'm already po ncing.
-What is it?
No, I... It's nothing.
-Well?
It's nothing. I'm just having a hard time
with my application,
and I thought that maybe if you have time,
you could go over it with me,
see if I'm in the right/direction?
Sure, why not?
-Yeah? -Yeah.
Wow. Thank you.
That's so sweet.
Until someone gets here,
do you want to head down to the cafeteria
and get a cup of coffee?
-You go. I've had my coffee.
I'm not trying to hit on you.
X
I didn't think you were.
Is it because I'm Arab?
You're an intern, Khalil.
You don't start an intern table
in the cafeteria. It's pathetic.
Yerushalmi's method is very simple.
She opens a mortgage file
under a borrowed identity,
using false documents,
even falsified land registration
for the property.
She submits the file for approval.
Everything seems legitimate.
And the money she got?
Do we know where it went?
Not all of it. But there are several
writs of execution against her husband
which closed miraculously
during the embezzlement period.
All the elements of the crime are there.
I think we can indict
-Good.
You'll submit the pr eo or statement
at the hearing on Sunday.
No, Elisha, I'm sorry.
I alre
I won't be
I have my third screening.
Then reschedule your screening.
That's out of the question.
I scheduled it in advance.
Vered, you were approved
for prosecutor statements
for this purpose exactly.
I don't need to explain it to you.
Why don't you submit it?
You're in charge of the case.
I have closing arguments
at the Shaharabani case.
I'll do it.
-What? -Excuse me?
I can submit prosecutor statements.
I did it at the police force.
It's not a problem.
With all due respect,
this is the DA's office, not the police.
I'll see if I can reschedule the appointment.
What can I do?
-No, no need.
Go to your appointment, do your tests.
We'll manage.
I need you to look into
the evidentiary basis.
You'll find everything in room 406.
The interns there can help you out.
-No problem.
Ah...
Other way.
Are you the interns?
What do you wan ?
-I'm Marcelle. You're with me today.
oh, wow. I'm sorry.
You're a prosecutor?
You just look so young.
Nice to meet you. I'm
I know,
I look just like her.
Like who?
-My mother. Hannah Sadeh.
Matalon, Sadeh & Associates?
Don't know it.
And you? Who's your mother?
Khalil. My mother is Iman,
a kindergarten teacher.
Nice to meet you.
This is the material from the police?
-Yes.
e need to find evidentiary basis
for the police's recommendation
that we indict Rachel Yerushalmi,
the embezzling clerk.
So it really is the mortgage case?
-Yes.
Great. Before we dive
into all this... fun,
does anyone want some coffee?
There's a new cafeteria on the second floor,
I could go get some.
As you can see,
we have a lot of work to do.
We should start.
I want you to review
all the mortgage files Yerushalmi approved.
Okay.
Start opening the boxes, okay?
I'll be right back.
One moment, Kobi.
Aren't you getting coffee?
Kobi, you wouldn't believe this place.
It's all intrigue.
Everybody's someone's son,
taking over someone' job.
Sounds like a perfect fit for you.
Yes, it's totally me..
I think I made a mistake.
Why do you say that?
You've been there for five minutes.
When does the work start?
-It already did.
They put me on the bank case.
The mortgage ban?
You're kidding!
Good work.
Sure, excellent work.
A room with 400 boxes of paperwork
Shoot me, why don't you?
And the supervisor is this leaner,
looking at me like I'm some kind
of spring chicken. Yuck.
Come on, cry baby.
It's not like you to complain.
I don't like this place.
I'm stuck with this super rich intern
her face makes me want to punch her.
And you get interns too!
Poor thing.
They really screwed you over.
So what, you just called to get on my nerves?
No, I called to see if you're alright.
I'm not
Tell Toledano I'm coming back.
Marcelle, darling,
you're better off. Okay?
After everything that happened,
you're better off.
Okay, Mom.
-Your Mom is right this time.
I'll stop by tonight,
get us some shawarma.
Son of a bitch.
Now I'm hungry.
You started with the chickens.
Okay, bye.
-Bye.
She really thinks I'm going over all that?
We're not her slaves.
Not slaves. Interns.
Maybe you're used
to being treated this way, Khalil,
but I'm not.
This is unacceptable.
Uterly
Advocate Bar-On.
Elisha.
-Elisha. -How's it going?
Excellent.
We're making progress.
Khalil, pass me the file
with the evidence.
This is from the mortgage case?
-Yes. -Great.
I'm the prosecutor in charge of the case.
I'm here if you have any questions.
Ms...
-Sadeh. Ya'ara S'adeh.
Oh.
You're Hannah's daughter.
-Yes.
I'm such an idiot.
I just saw her at a con erence,
she told me her daughter
is interning with us.
Okay,
tell your mother hi from me, okay?
-Sure, I will.
Carry on.
i understand completely.
I'll have my finger on the pulse, Minister.
Yes.
We'll talk after the hearing on Sunday.
Good day.
That was the Minister of Public Security.
The Minister?
Abo the mortgages?
This ban is driving everyone crazy.
We can't ess this up.
-Of cq rse, but...
I have a problem wi h Sunday's hearing.
What's the problem?
-I have the Shaharabani closing arguments.
I know. We approve Vered for it.
-She can't do it.
She has a screening or something.
There is no women's labor right
that she's overlooked. Honestly.
Tell me, at...
What's the deal wit Marcelle?
Why'd you put her ©n the case?
For the same reason she got the job.
She's a pretty face for the press.
Because of Morduch.
People like tha crap.
So how about she s mit
the prosecutor statement on Sunday?
Sure.
But let Nati walk her through it.
And you make sure s e oes it right.
-No pro em.
I'll work closely wit
Not too close.
Thank you.
Ben David.
I've sorted everything with the DA.
You'll go to the hearing on Sunday.
-Great.
You're going over evidence?
How's it going? -It's going.
We'll work over the weekend
if we have to.
The weekend?
You're married?
Got a boyfriend?
Is that relevant?
Just making sure
you won't be needed over the weekend.
We'll be ready for Sunday morning.
Yuck.
Did you see the news?
saw. I'm on my way.
Don't come here.
I want you to talk to your Frenchman.
See that he does what needs to be done.
Okay, Shosh. I got you.
You brought him on
you sort this out.
Is there a problem?
Should I send someone else?
No, of course not.
I'm on it. Trust me.
Meir! How are you?
Why didn't you tell me you were coming?
Ori, look who's here!
Uncle Meir.
Hey, buddy.
Enjoying your vacation?
Where is he?
Who?
Gilbert.
He left for Belgium this morning, why?
You have his flight number?
No. Why would I?
Which passport did he use?
What's wrong, Meir?
You're making me nervous.
Why didn't you go with him?
It's a business trip.
Why would I go with him?
Did he leave you any money?
Just spending cash.
The usual.
Did he tell you anything?
When is he back?
Thursday.
He's taking Ori on a cruise.
A cruise? Where?
I don't know. It's a surprise.
Marcelle,
there's something weird here.
It's an email from Yer shalmi
the clerk,
to Bergman. Look.
-Who's Bergman?
The bank's VP.
He's un er-acrest for vicarious liability.
See?
-What does it say? -It says,
"Waiting for approval of requests A."
He responds, "Use standard procedure."
Isn't that weird?
Vered, do you have a moment?
Sorry, I have to run.
I'm already late.
Then do you know
where Elisha is?
What do you need?
Why aren't we submitting
a prosecutor statement against Bergman?
You heard Nati.
There's no evidence against him.
And if there were?
-Then the police would have recommended it.
My intern found an email
Yerushalmi wrote to him.
It looks like some kind of code.
This email was deleted and restored.
There's a reason she hid it.
Where did this email come from?
-The boxes of investigation material.
If it was in the boxes
then the police task force must have seen it.
But if I can find cause
to submit against Bergman...
You're not an investigator,
and you shouldn't be looking for cause.
The DA gave strict orders
to adhere to the police's recommendations.
Do what she says.
Excuse me.
Hello?
I'm just leaving the office now.
Noya is doing gymnastics,
so you pick up Evyatar.
Bye.
He's not here. He left this morning.
-How did he leave?
I don't understand this, Meir.
How'd you let this happen?
Look at outgoing flights.
He may still be at the airport.
Well? Anything?
-No.
The BMW keys aren't there.
You checked everywhere?
-Every drawer, Meir. They're not there.
Where are you going?
Stay, have some coffee.
You and Ori stay put.
Don't go anywhere.
Not even to the mall, Natali.
If he calls, let me know right away.
Okay?
-Okay.
Marcelle,
you know the Kiddush starts
just after we come back from synagogue.
Are you doing this on purpose?
I ran out of time.
I had to organize the apartment.
Shabbat Shalom
-Shabbat Shalom.
Give her some bread.
Thank you.
How's the new job?
Okay.
They showed him on TV this week,
this Morduch.
Don't know how you dared to go against him.
The man's an animal.
It's not daring. It's stupidity.
David.
-What?
What was all that schooling for
if all she does is hang out with criminals?
2 inches would have killed her.
-Okay, it's over now.
Thank God,
she's in a good place now.
The criminals at the DA's office are bigger.
See?
Go ahead, encourage your daughter.
You know what, Dad?
My current case would fit you perfectly.
All I do is look at mortgage papers,
just like a bank clerk.
Really, Big Brains?
You're working that case?
Our mortgage was banned,
maybe you can help.
Good luck with that.
We were approved,
we settled on an interest rate,
but we can't get the money.
The contract says we need
to pay the landlord
a second installment next week.
Theoretically that's breach of contract.
You could get sued.
Stress them out, why don't you?
I'm not stressing them out,
I'm just explaining what they agreed to.
So what can we do?
Can you talk to the bank?
It won't help.
You're not alone.
A lot of people are in trouble.
Miserable fools love company.
-Tell me, Mom,
when you were pregnant with her
did you ever see a pulse?
Of course, what do you mean?
Since she doesn't have a heart,
I wonder how she has a pulse.
Huh, Big Brains?
The court hearing is on Sunday.
Maybe they'll lift the ban after that.
If not, I'll explain what you should do.
Forget it, Vic.
I'll go with you to the bank.
Maybe flip over a few tables.
Yeah, we saw how your
table flipping worked
when you tried to sort out
Dad's disability pension.
At least I went there.
That's more than you did.
Who's that?
Who could it be?
Why are you all looking at me?
Why would anyone call me here?
Maybe something happened.
Hello?
Shabbat Shalom, Marcella.
I wanted to congratulate you
on your new job.
I heard you moved, too.
Shaul HaMelech St.
That's a nice, quiet neighborhood.
I'm thinking of you, Marcella.
We'll meet again, you and I.
Sorry for disturbing you.
Tell your parents I said hi.
Who was that?
Wrong number.
Why are you laughing?
I know what you're like
when you're all quiet.
I need to show you something.
Tell me what you think.
What is it?
-It's from the mortgage case.
It's an email from
the suspected clerk to the VP.
Are you trying to prove
he was her accomplice?
Accomplice, operator,
I don't know.
But something's going on, right?
Could be.
Ask for additional investigation.
You have your own task force,
what do you need me for?
Sure, my own task force.
They're so inflexible.
They're stuck on this clerk.
I'm telling you,
it doesn't make sense.
To run this kind of scam,
with forgeries,
it takes a network,
not just a woman with a bankrupt husband.
When someone closes a door,
you smash through a window.
You know what?
Let's look into this VP.
What? Now?
-Then when?
Why else did you show me
this email?
Come on, it's Friday.
The place will be empty.
If Toledano finds out
I used her login
she'll kill me.
-Fine. Tell her I did it.
There's nothing she can do to me.
What's his name?
-Ophir Bergman.
I.D. 033465699.
Get me everything.
Company registrar,
prior indictments, debt.
It's so slow.
-Yeah.
You staying over at your parents' house?
No, I need to head back to Tel Aviv.
I have a lot to do at the apartment.
When will you come visit?
You're a shitty friend.
-I'll come.
I'll bring the drill with me
on Sunday,
put up some shelves for you.
I have the kids with me tomorrow, so...
-No worries.
It's just a couple of screws.
I can do that myself.
Don't do that.
You want another shoulder surgery?
Don't even lift the drill.
Sexist asshole.
Have you heard from him?
From who?
-From Morduch. Who else?
Why would I hear from him?
Bergman looks clean.
A few traffic violations,
worked for the Land Administration,
the Ministry of Construction.
What's this?
-What?
He has a company, "A.B. Holdings".
Real estate entrepreneurship.
Let me see.
It says he sold it in 2015.
Find out when he became the bank's VP.
2016.
That's not a problem.
Yeah...
No.
In 2015 he was still
a government employee, no?
Working for the Ministry of Construction.
Print that for me.
Hello, I'm looking
for advocate Elisha Bar-On.
When will he be done with the hearing?
Could you ask him to contact
Marcelle Ben David? It's urgent.
Yes, but it's really urgent.
Thank you.
Is this the men's room?
Partly.
So it's true what they say
about Tel Aviv.
It's like Sodom and Gomorrah.
They had to put both toilets together
because of the renovations.
They could've put us
together with the detainees.
May I?
Thank you.
You're the new one, aren't you
Ben David?
How do you know?
Nice to meet you.
Dor Kaminsky.
Ah...
You're a celebrity.
What?
Everyone knows about the brave warrior
who put Morduch away for 15 years.
Landing at the DA's office,
getting the hottest case in the country.
You're our Gal Gadot.
And to think the Rooster
sent you in his place.
We know how much he likes performing.
Who's the Rooster?
Bar-On. Elisha.
"The prosecutor in charge of the case".
Rooster. Suits him.
Let me guess.
Room 406, with the boxes?
Are you following me?
This place is so predictable.
Good luck.
-Thank you.
Will you be asking to remand all of them?
I'm following the police's recommendation.
I hope I'm not being too d'
but...
Would you like to have a drink to ' ht,
you and I?
I'd love to show you not everything here
is Sodom and Gomorrah.
Are you asking me out on a date
in the bathroom?
Only if that's okay
I don't date.
Okay.
But I'm okay with Sodom and Gomorrah.
Marcelle.
-Natl. What's going on?
I can't get a hold of Bar-On.
It's okay.
He told me you were coming.
You'll ask to remand Yerushalmi
until the end of proceedings.
We can let the rest go.
-Yeah.
Look, VP Bergman?
I found one of his emails.
Something suspicious.
-I know the material, Marcelle.
There's no evidence against Bergman.
-I'm telling you I found something.
What?
-I found a suspicious email.
I'd like to submit a prosecutor statement
against Bergman as well.
You'd like to?
Are you a cop now?
I'm telling you there's evidentiary basis.
Now I know how you got shot.
Yes.
-Marcelle, how are you? This is Kahan.
Am I interrupting?
-Judge Kahan,
No, I...
I have half a minute.
I'm just heading into court.
You're already going to hearings?
-Yes. This is my first, actually.
What's it like?
It's a different world, huh?
Yes, certainly.
Listen, can I...
get your advice on something?
It's about the hearing I have now.
Would that be okay?
Is it a legal question?
Political, I think.
I'm intrigued.
Ask away.
If the police and the prosecutor
have a clear suspect in a case,
but there's evidentiary basis
for another suspect.
Another suspect?
Out of nowhere?
I'm working the mortgage case,
and the bank's VP is under arrest.
But everyone thinks he's irrelevant.
I disagree.
I'd like to submit a statement against him.
I have evidentiary basis
but no approval to go ahead.
Only against the clerk.
Look, if you want to play it safe,
stick to what the police
and the supervising prosecutor recommended.
And if I don't?
In shallow waters you only catch small fish.
Are you representing Yerushalmi?
Yes.
Eli Cohen.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Marcelle Ben David. Nice to meet you.
-From the Public Defender's office?
From the DA's office
Look, I know there's a conneetion
between your client
and Bergman, the V .
I just don't understand
wh. s e in is s on taking all the blame.
I can't get her to talk.
-That's a shame.
All this shit
is about to come down ■ n her.
Who's that?
Kaminsky.
Bergman's attorne .
He's a weasel.
When you wonder why my client won't talk,
rest assured he has the answer.
All rise.
-Son of a bitch.
The Honorable Judge Ganor.
Ye et's begin.
Your Honor,
the prosecuti n wishes to submit a statement
regarding suspect number 4,
Rachel Yerushalmi,
and accordingly requests she be remanded
until the end of proceedings.
Your request is noted.
Anything else to say
efore I yield the floor to the defense?
If Your Honor permits,
I'd like to enter into the record
a request to remand
until the end of proceedings
and a statement about another suspect.
Suspect numbe 6, Ophir Bergman.
Excuse me, Your Honor,
this is unthinkable.
My client cooperated with the in estigators
and has nothing to do with the offense.
There hasn't been a single shred
of evidence against my client.
He poses no danger, nothing.
Your Honor, I regret
that I do not have a written statement,
but I do have the evidence.
It is of course confidential at this stage.
Your Honor, we object.
This is a misuse of legal proceedings.
Is there a certificate of confidentiality?
No.
Then why is the evidence confidential?
Under what ordinance is this evidenc
being submitted?
Yes.
Advocate Kaminsky,
Unfortunately for you and your client,
the evidence I've just been presented with
is not mething the court can ignore.
With or without a certificate,
the police must have time to investigate.
Well, Your Honor.
I'm embarrassed to say this,
but there's a personal matter at hand.
Counsel Ben David is being unduly hostile
towards myself and my client
because we have an intimate relationship.
Are you kidding me?
Counsel Ben David.
Your Honor, I apologize.
I don't know what my colleague means.
We have never had any kind of relationship,
intimate or otherwise.
Honor, I'm again sorry to say this,
but the State's counsel
is lying through her teeth.
You can ask her yourself
what happened just before this hearing,
here in the restroom.
Counsel Kaminsky!
Counsel Ben David.
Honestly.
Please sort our personal issues
outside my courthouse.
Till then...
A decision, Aliza.
am y remanding suspects
Yerushalmi and Bergman
for five days.
Quickly.
Shh...
Do you know who I am?
You keep quiet.
Marcelle.
I know who planted the device.
I know it was meant for me
and not for...
As a prosecutor
they tell you
to ignore your instincts.
They call it "the rule of law".
No heart.
No feelings.
Only evidence.
I'm not like them.
I'm no good at doing what I'm told.
That's why I'm a shitty prosecutor.
Do I feel guilty?
Yes.
Would I do it again?
Yes
Criminal law as a whole
involves the discussion of events
through very limited means.
Democracy cannot survive
without true moral commitment
to the supremacy of the law.
A criminal is not a celebrity.
He's no one to be looked up to.
He belongs outside of society.
In the case before me it has been proven,
beyond a shadow of a doubt,
that the defendant
Eliyahu Morduch
formed and ran a criminal organization
which dealt in drugs and weapons,
using cruel and ruthless methods
to terrorize, extort and exercise violence
against his victims.
This is a verdict
and not the place for thank yous,
but even so this legal result
could not have been reached
without the hard work of many people.
Two of them are here with us.
Chief Inspector Yaakov Vaknin,
who led this investigation,
and his dauntless partner,
Sergeant First Class Marcelle Ben David,
who risked her life
during the defendant's arrest
in order to bring him to justice.
Upon reviewing all charges,
I sentence him to 15 years in prison
and a monetary fine
of 500,000 shekels,
which may be substituted
for three years' imprisonment.
Champ
Advocate Ben David.
-Yes? -The President wants to see you.
He's in his office.
Me?
-Yes. Please.
What does he want?
-I don't know. Go.
You called for me, Your Honor?
-Yes, please.
Do come in.
Sit.
Anything to drink?
A cup of tea?
No, thank you.
Was it serious?
Did you need surgery?
One operation,
a little physiotherapy.
I was lucky.
It was just a torn muscle.
When will you return to service?
-I'm already back.
Advocate Ben David,
you must be wondering why you're here.
Honestly, yes.
In my job I run across
quite a few lawyers, cops,
a lot of self-appointed legal geniuses.
But someone with your sense of justice,
your excellent judgement and daring,
someone with your single-minded focus,
is something you don't see every day.
-Thank you.
I think Your Honor is exaggerating slightly.
There's a prosecutor position opening.
The tender closes in two days.
-What?
You should apply for a job
with the Tel Aviv District Attorney.
That's what I think.
Look, I like the police.
I like my job.
I never thought about...
I mean no disrespect.
But you've been a lawyer with the police
for three years now.
You can and should be doing more.
Marcelle, I have a feeling
that you're just what
the DA's office needs right now.
Here, baby, eat up.
-Thanks.
Is that for the new job?
-Yeah.
This job isn't related to the police, right?
No, Mom.
The DA's office is just lawyers.
Oh. So no gun?
No, Mommy. No Gun.
You can relax.
And your motor bike?
-What about it?
You can't ride that thing
to Tel Aviv every day.
It's really dangerous, honey.
Mom, if I get the job, I...
I won't be able to keep living here.
I'll have to move to Tel Aviv,
to be closer to work.
You'll live alone? In a rented apartment?
Alone, with roommates.
What's the difference?
Everyone does it.
Not us.
Do you know how expensive
the rent is over there?
Why spend your entire salary on it?
Stay here and get yourself a little car.
You think she's a millionaire?
An apartment in Tel Aviv,
a new car.
Who says she's getting the job?
Marcelle.
Marcelle, ignore him.
Bank employees,
stay where you are.
Do not touch any computers or phones,
mobiles included.
We'll be questioning you in order.
Ophir Bergman?
-Yes.
You're under arrest for
false registration of corporate documents.
Excuse me, what's going on?
Leave that.
Rachel Yerushalmi,
you're unde a rest for
theft by an aut ff dfperson.
Ten suspects so far have been arrested
and are being held for questioning
incu mg p ir ergman,
vice president of loans and mortgages.
jiiunn
join press con erence was e o ay
by Minister of Public Security Mano Shalev^U W7F1 |
and the Governor of the Bank of Israel
Avshalom Tevet,
in which the overnor announce
an unprecedented general ban on mortgages.
It's a very high profile case.
Elisha's been handling it for two months now.
How long will the ban last?
As far as I know,
until we file the indictments.
Come in.
Yes?
Marcelle Ben David.
Ah, Ben David.
Yes.
Everyone, meet advocate Marcelle Ben David.
First Senior Deputy to the District Attorney.
Come in.
With us?
How come the prosecutors
are always so pretty?
She's taking over Margalit's job?
Marcelle comes to us from
the Jerusalem District Police.
Now I remember you.
You bagged Morduch, didn't you?
You were injured, right?
What happened?
He shot you?
How much did he get?
10 years?
15.
-Oh.
Well done, Meri.
That's some reinforcement you got us.
Let's keep going.
You'll get the hang of things.
Look, our time is very limited.
We're under a lot of pressure
from above
and we will soon be under
a lot of pressure from the public
because of the mortgage ban.
Where do we stand?
We've been investigating the bank
covertly for two months now.
Recently we identified attempts
to erase some emails
and remove bank documents,
so we had no choice
but to make public arrests.
Who are our leading suspects right now?
Only one suspect
stands up7to burden of proof.
Rachel Yerushalmi,
mortgage clerk at the central branch.
All false mortgages so far
appear to come from her.
Yerushalmi has chosen to remain silent.
e have another high-profile suspect,
Ophir Bergman,
Vice President of Loans at the bank.
He's Yerushalmi's direct superior.
I may not know the inner workings
of each mortgage,
but my name is on the monthly reports,
whic
e mortgages filed
erushalmi.
I'm quite shocked, honestly.
I've known this woman for years.
She's a good worker.
s time she's been...
Well,"
believed Etti Alon
bezzler, either.
We haven't found any evidence
pointing to the VP's involvement in this.
He's got nothing to do with it.
It's true we haven't found
any evidence against him,
but he can't just be a rubber stamp.
An embezzlement this big,
he must have known something.
You want us to charge him
just for being her superior?
You support this kind of precedent?
Only if the evidence supports it.
Then it's only Yerushalmi.
But what's her motive?
Her husband is bankrupt.
He's deep in debt.
So his creditors must be extorting her.
Maybe they're the ones
running this whole thing,
the embezzlement at the bank.
Maybe you didn't hear.
We've been investigating this for two months.
You think we didn't look
into her husband?
Did you figure out which crime organization
he's involved with?
Who says there's a crime organization?
Sweetheart,
not everything is Morduch.
Nati, don't get upset.
It's a legitimate question.
Listen, guys.
I'm all for brainstorming
but we've been working on this case
for over two months
and we've already
discussed these possibilities.
Meri, what's the next step?
The next step?
Marcelle will join your team.
There's a hearing before
judge Ganor on Sunday,
so please get to work.
Hi.
Is this 406?
-Yes.
Are you an intern?
-You too? -Yeah.
Do you know who
we'll be working with?
The Rooster.
-Sorry?
The Rooster.
Elisha Bar-On.
They call him the Rooster.
-Oh, okay.
Mortgage request.
Maybe it's the mortgage case!
What's your name?
-Oh, sorry.
Khalil.
-As in Galil?
Khalil in Arabic means...
a good friend.
-Oh.
I'm Ya'ara. Nice to meet you.
Where did you study?
Oxford.
Oxford?
-Yes. -Really?
Good for you.
Your English must be very good.
I'd say so.
-Very nice.
I plan on studying ab oad too.
I want to get my PhD at Harvard,
at the new international law program there.
Maybe you could...
Sorry, I'm already po ncing.
-What is it?
No, I... It's nothing.
-Well?
It's nothing. I'm just having a hard time
with my application,
and I thought that maybe if you have time,
you could go over it with me,
see if I'm in the right/direction?
Sure, why not?
-Yeah? -Yeah.
Wow. Thank you.
That's so sweet.
Until someone gets here,
do you want to head down to the cafeteria
and get a cup of coffee?
-You go. I've had my coffee.
I'm not trying to hit on you.
X
I didn't think you were.
Is it because I'm Arab?
You're an intern, Khalil.
You don't start an intern table
in the cafeteria. It's pathetic.
Yerushalmi's method is very simple.
She opens a mortgage file
under a borrowed identity,
using false documents,
even falsified land registration
for the property.
She submits the file for approval.
Everything seems legitimate.
And the money she got?
Do we know where it went?
Not all of it. But there are several
writs of execution against her husband
which closed miraculously
during the embezzlement period.
All the elements of the crime are there.
I think we can indict
-Good.
You'll submit the pr eo or statement
at the hearing on Sunday.
No, Elisha, I'm sorry.
I alre
I won't be
I have my third screening.
Then reschedule your screening.
That's out of the question.
I scheduled it in advance.
Vered, you were approved
for prosecutor statements
for this purpose exactly.
I don't need to explain it to you.
Why don't you submit it?
You're in charge of the case.
I have closing arguments
at the Shaharabani case.
I'll do it.
-What? -Excuse me?
I can submit prosecutor statements.
I did it at the police force.
It's not a problem.
With all due respect,
this is the DA's office, not the police.
I'll see if I can reschedule the appointment.
What can I do?
-No, no need.
Go to your appointment, do your tests.
We'll manage.
I need you to look into
the evidentiary basis.
You'll find everything in room 406.
The interns there can help you out.
-No problem.
Ah...
Other way.
Are you the interns?
What do you wan ?
-I'm Marcelle. You're with me today.
oh, wow. I'm sorry.
You're a prosecutor?
You just look so young.
Nice to meet you. I'm
I know,
I look just like her.
Like who?
-My mother. Hannah Sadeh.
Matalon, Sadeh & Associates?
Don't know it.
And you? Who's your mother?
Khalil. My mother is Iman,
a kindergarten teacher.
Nice to meet you.
This is the material from the police?
-Yes.
e need to find evidentiary basis
for the police's recommendation
that we indict Rachel Yerushalmi,
the embezzling clerk.
So it really is the mortgage case?
-Yes.
Great. Before we dive
into all this... fun,
does anyone want some coffee?
There's a new cafeteria on the second floor,
I could go get some.
As you can see,
we have a lot of work to do.
We should start.
I want you to review
all the mortgage files Yerushalmi approved.
Okay.
Start opening the boxes, okay?
I'll be right back.
One moment, Kobi.
Aren't you getting coffee?
Kobi, you wouldn't believe this place.
It's all intrigue.
Everybody's someone's son,
taking over someone' job.
Sounds like a perfect fit for you.
Yes, it's totally me..
I think I made a mistake.
Why do you say that?
You've been there for five minutes.
When does the work start?
-It already did.
They put me on the bank case.
The mortgage ban?
You're kidding!
Good work.
Sure, excellent work.
A room with 400 boxes of paperwork
Shoot me, why don't you?
And the supervisor is this leaner,
looking at me like I'm some kind
of spring chicken. Yuck.
Come on, cry baby.
It's not like you to complain.
I don't like this place.
I'm stuck with this super rich intern
her face makes me want to punch her.
And you get interns too!
Poor thing.
They really screwed you over.
So what, you just called to get on my nerves?
No, I called to see if you're alright.
I'm not
Tell Toledano I'm coming back.
Marcelle, darling,
you're better off. Okay?
After everything that happened,
you're better off.
Okay, Mom.
-Your Mom is right this time.
I'll stop by tonight,
get us some shawarma.
Son of a bitch.
Now I'm hungry.
You started with the chickens.
Okay, bye.
-Bye.
She really thinks I'm going over all that?
We're not her slaves.
Not slaves. Interns.
Maybe you're used
to being treated this way, Khalil,
but I'm not.
This is unacceptable.
Uterly
Advocate Bar-On.
Elisha.
-Elisha. -How's it going?
Excellent.
We're making progress.
Khalil, pass me the file
with the evidence.
This is from the mortgage case?
-Yes. -Great.
I'm the prosecutor in charge of the case.
I'm here if you have any questions.
Ms...
-Sadeh. Ya'ara S'adeh.
Oh.
You're Hannah's daughter.
-Yes.
I'm such an idiot.
I just saw her at a con erence,
she told me her daughter
is interning with us.
Okay,
tell your mother hi from me, okay?
-Sure, I will.
Carry on.
i understand completely.
I'll have my finger on the pulse, Minister.
Yes.
We'll talk after the hearing on Sunday.
Good day.
That was the Minister of Public Security.
The Minister?
Abo the mortgages?
This ban is driving everyone crazy.
We can't ess this up.
-Of cq rse, but...
I have a problem wi h Sunday's hearing.
What's the problem?
-I have the Shaharabani closing arguments.
I know. We approve Vered for it.
-She can't do it.
She has a screening or something.
There is no women's labor right
that she's overlooked. Honestly.
Tell me, at...
What's the deal wit Marcelle?
Why'd you put her ©n the case?
For the same reason she got the job.
She's a pretty face for the press.
Because of Morduch.
People like tha crap.
So how about she s mit
the prosecutor statement on Sunday?
Sure.
But let Nati walk her through it.
And you make sure s e oes it right.
-No pro em.
I'll work closely wit
Not too close.
Thank you.
Ben David.
I've sorted everything with the DA.
You'll go to the hearing on Sunday.
-Great.
You're going over evidence?
How's it going? -It's going.
We'll work over the weekend
if we have to.
The weekend?
You're married?
Got a boyfriend?
Is that relevant?
Just making sure
you won't be needed over the weekend.
We'll be ready for Sunday morning.
Yuck.
Did you see the news?
saw. I'm on my way.
Don't come here.
I want you to talk to your Frenchman.
See that he does what needs to be done.
Okay, Shosh. I got you.
You brought him on
you sort this out.
Is there a problem?
Should I send someone else?
No, of course not.
I'm on it. Trust me.
Meir! How are you?
Why didn't you tell me you were coming?
Ori, look who's here!
Uncle Meir.
Hey, buddy.
Enjoying your vacation?
Where is he?
Who?
Gilbert.
He left for Belgium this morning, why?
You have his flight number?
No. Why would I?
Which passport did he use?
What's wrong, Meir?
You're making me nervous.
Why didn't you go with him?
It's a business trip.
Why would I go with him?
Did he leave you any money?
Just spending cash.
The usual.
Did he tell you anything?
When is he back?
Thursday.
He's taking Ori on a cruise.
A cruise? Where?
I don't know. It's a surprise.
Marcelle,
there's something weird here.
It's an email from Yer shalmi
the clerk,
to Bergman. Look.
-Who's Bergman?
The bank's VP.
He's un er-acrest for vicarious liability.
See?
-What does it say? -It says,
"Waiting for approval of requests A."
He responds, "Use standard procedure."
Isn't that weird?
Vered, do you have a moment?
Sorry, I have to run.
I'm already late.
Then do you know
where Elisha is?
What do you need?
Why aren't we submitting
a prosecutor statement against Bergman?
You heard Nati.
There's no evidence against him.
And if there were?
-Then the police would have recommended it.
My intern found an email
Yerushalmi wrote to him.
It looks like some kind of code.
This email was deleted and restored.
There's a reason she hid it.
Where did this email come from?
-The boxes of investigation material.
If it was in the boxes
then the police task force must have seen it.
But if I can find cause
to submit against Bergman...
You're not an investigator,
and you shouldn't be looking for cause.
The DA gave strict orders
to adhere to the police's recommendations.
Do what she says.
Excuse me.
Hello?
I'm just leaving the office now.
Noya is doing gymnastics,
so you pick up Evyatar.
Bye.
He's not here. He left this morning.
-How did he leave?
I don't understand this, Meir.
How'd you let this happen?
Look at outgoing flights.
He may still be at the airport.
Well? Anything?
-No.
The BMW keys aren't there.
You checked everywhere?
-Every drawer, Meir. They're not there.
Where are you going?
Stay, have some coffee.
You and Ori stay put.
Don't go anywhere.
Not even to the mall, Natali.
If he calls, let me know right away.
Okay?
-Okay.
Marcelle,
you know the Kiddush starts
just after we come back from synagogue.
Are you doing this on purpose?
I ran out of time.
I had to organize the apartment.
Shabbat Shalom
-Shabbat Shalom.
Give her some bread.
Thank you.
How's the new job?
Okay.
They showed him on TV this week,
this Morduch.
Don't know how you dared to go against him.
The man's an animal.
It's not daring. It's stupidity.
David.
-What?
What was all that schooling for
if all she does is hang out with criminals?
2 inches would have killed her.
-Okay, it's over now.
Thank God,
she's in a good place now.
The criminals at the DA's office are bigger.
See?
Go ahead, encourage your daughter.
You know what, Dad?
My current case would fit you perfectly.
All I do is look at mortgage papers,
just like a bank clerk.
Really, Big Brains?
You're working that case?
Our mortgage was banned,
maybe you can help.
Good luck with that.
We were approved,
we settled on an interest rate,
but we can't get the money.
The contract says we need
to pay the landlord
a second installment next week.
Theoretically that's breach of contract.
You could get sued.
Stress them out, why don't you?
I'm not stressing them out,
I'm just explaining what they agreed to.
So what can we do?
Can you talk to the bank?
It won't help.
You're not alone.
A lot of people are in trouble.
Miserable fools love company.
-Tell me, Mom,
when you were pregnant with her
did you ever see a pulse?
Of course, what do you mean?
Since she doesn't have a heart,
I wonder how she has a pulse.
Huh, Big Brains?
The court hearing is on Sunday.
Maybe they'll lift the ban after that.
If not, I'll explain what you should do.
Forget it, Vic.
I'll go with you to the bank.
Maybe flip over a few tables.
Yeah, we saw how your
table flipping worked
when you tried to sort out
Dad's disability pension.
At least I went there.
That's more than you did.
Who's that?
Who could it be?
Why are you all looking at me?
Why would anyone call me here?
Maybe something happened.
Hello?
Shabbat Shalom, Marcella.
I wanted to congratulate you
on your new job.
I heard you moved, too.
Shaul HaMelech St.
That's a nice, quiet neighborhood.
I'm thinking of you, Marcella.
We'll meet again, you and I.
Sorry for disturbing you.
Tell your parents I said hi.
Who was that?
Wrong number.
Why are you laughing?
I know what you're like
when you're all quiet.
I need to show you something.
Tell me what you think.
What is it?
-It's from the mortgage case.
It's an email from
the suspected clerk to the VP.
Are you trying to prove
he was her accomplice?
Accomplice, operator,
I don't know.
But something's going on, right?
Could be.
Ask for additional investigation.
You have your own task force,
what do you need me for?
Sure, my own task force.
They're so inflexible.
They're stuck on this clerk.
I'm telling you,
it doesn't make sense.
To run this kind of scam,
with forgeries,
it takes a network,
not just a woman with a bankrupt husband.
When someone closes a door,
you smash through a window.
You know what?
Let's look into this VP.
What? Now?
-Then when?
Why else did you show me
this email?
Come on, it's Friday.
The place will be empty.
If Toledano finds out
I used her login
she'll kill me.
-Fine. Tell her I did it.
There's nothing she can do to me.
What's his name?
-Ophir Bergman.
I.D. 033465699.
Get me everything.
Company registrar,
prior indictments, debt.
It's so slow.
-Yeah.
You staying over at your parents' house?
No, I need to head back to Tel Aviv.
I have a lot to do at the apartment.
When will you come visit?
You're a shitty friend.
-I'll come.
I'll bring the drill with me
on Sunday,
put up some shelves for you.
I have the kids with me tomorrow, so...
-No worries.
It's just a couple of screws.
I can do that myself.
Don't do that.
You want another shoulder surgery?
Don't even lift the drill.
Sexist asshole.
Have you heard from him?
From who?
-From Morduch. Who else?
Why would I hear from him?
Bergman looks clean.
A few traffic violations,
worked for the Land Administration,
the Ministry of Construction.
What's this?
-What?
He has a company, "A.B. Holdings".
Real estate entrepreneurship.
Let me see.
It says he sold it in 2015.
Find out when he became the bank's VP.
2016.
That's not a problem.
Yeah...
No.
In 2015 he was still
a government employee, no?
Working for the Ministry of Construction.
Print that for me.
Hello, I'm looking
for advocate Elisha Bar-On.
When will he be done with the hearing?
Could you ask him to contact
Marcelle Ben David? It's urgent.
Yes, but it's really urgent.
Thank you.
Is this the men's room?
Partly.
So it's true what they say
about Tel Aviv.
It's like Sodom and Gomorrah.
They had to put both toilets together
because of the renovations.
They could've put us
together with the detainees.
May I?
Thank you.
You're the new one, aren't you
Ben David?
How do you know?
Nice to meet you.
Dor Kaminsky.
Ah...
You're a celebrity.
What?
Everyone knows about the brave warrior
who put Morduch away for 15 years.
Landing at the DA's office,
getting the hottest case in the country.
You're our Gal Gadot.
And to think the Rooster
sent you in his place.
We know how much he likes performing.
Who's the Rooster?
Bar-On. Elisha.
"The prosecutor in charge of the case".
Rooster. Suits him.
Let me guess.
Room 406, with the boxes?
Are you following me?
This place is so predictable.
Good luck.
-Thank you.
Will you be asking to remand all of them?
I'm following the police's recommendation.
I hope I'm not being too d'
but...
Would you like to have a drink to ' ht,
you and I?
I'd love to show you not everything here
is Sodom and Gomorrah.
Are you asking me out on a date
in the bathroom?
Only if that's okay
I don't date.
Okay.
But I'm okay with Sodom and Gomorrah.
Marcelle.
-Natl. What's going on?
I can't get a hold of Bar-On.
It's okay.
He told me you were coming.
You'll ask to remand Yerushalmi
until the end of proceedings.
We can let the rest go.
-Yeah.
Look, VP Bergman?
I found one of his emails.
Something suspicious.
-I know the material, Marcelle.
There's no evidence against Bergman.
-I'm telling you I found something.
What?
-I found a suspicious email.
I'd like to submit a prosecutor statement
against Bergman as well.
You'd like to?
Are you a cop now?
I'm telling you there's evidentiary basis.
Now I know how you got shot.
Yes.
-Marcelle, how are you? This is Kahan.
Am I interrupting?
-Judge Kahan,
No, I...
I have half a minute.
I'm just heading into court.
You're already going to hearings?
-Yes. This is my first, actually.
What's it like?
It's a different world, huh?
Yes, certainly.
Listen, can I...
get your advice on something?
It's about the hearing I have now.
Would that be okay?
Is it a legal question?
Political, I think.
I'm intrigued.
Ask away.
If the police and the prosecutor
have a clear suspect in a case,
but there's evidentiary basis
for another suspect.
Another suspect?
Out of nowhere?
I'm working the mortgage case,
and the bank's VP is under arrest.
But everyone thinks he's irrelevant.
I disagree.
I'd like to submit a statement against him.
I have evidentiary basis
but no approval to go ahead.
Only against the clerk.
Look, if you want to play it safe,
stick to what the police
and the supervising prosecutor recommended.
And if I don't?
In shallow waters you only catch small fish.
Are you representing Yerushalmi?
Yes.
Eli Cohen.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Marcelle Ben David. Nice to meet you.
-From the Public Defender's office?
From the DA's office
Look, I know there's a conneetion
between your client
and Bergman, the V .
I just don't understand
wh. s e in is s on taking all the blame.
I can't get her to talk.
-That's a shame.
All this shit
is about to come down ■ n her.
Who's that?
Kaminsky.
Bergman's attorne .
He's a weasel.
When you wonder why my client won't talk,
rest assured he has the answer.
All rise.
-Son of a bitch.
The Honorable Judge Ganor.
Ye et's begin.
Your Honor,
the prosecuti n wishes to submit a statement
regarding suspect number 4,
Rachel Yerushalmi,
and accordingly requests she be remanded
until the end of proceedings.
Your request is noted.
Anything else to say
efore I yield the floor to the defense?
If Your Honor permits,
I'd like to enter into the record
a request to remand
until the end of proceedings
and a statement about another suspect.
Suspect numbe 6, Ophir Bergman.
Excuse me, Your Honor,
this is unthinkable.
My client cooperated with the in estigators
and has nothing to do with the offense.
There hasn't been a single shred
of evidence against my client.
He poses no danger, nothing.
Your Honor, I regret
that I do not have a written statement,
but I do have the evidence.
It is of course confidential at this stage.
Your Honor, we object.
This is a misuse of legal proceedings.
Is there a certificate of confidentiality?
No.
Then why is the evidence confidential?
Under what ordinance is this evidenc
being submitted?
Yes.
Advocate Kaminsky,
Unfortunately for you and your client,
the evidence I've just been presented with
is not mething the court can ignore.
With or without a certificate,
the police must have time to investigate.
Well, Your Honor.
I'm embarrassed to say this,
but there's a personal matter at hand.
Counsel Ben David is being unduly hostile
towards myself and my client
because we have an intimate relationship.
Are you kidding me?
Counsel Ben David.
Your Honor, I apologize.
I don't know what my colleague means.
We have never had any kind of relationship,
intimate or otherwise.
Honor, I'm again sorry to say this,
but the State's counsel
is lying through her teeth.
You can ask her yourself
what happened just before this hearing,
here in the restroom.
Counsel Kaminsky!
Counsel Ben David.
Honestly.
Please sort our personal issues
outside my courthouse.
Till then...
A decision, Aliza.
am y remanding suspects
Yerushalmi and Bergman
for five days.
Quickly.
Shh...
Do you know who I am?
You keep quiet.
Marcelle.
