PMTA (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript
it should be obvious
that every word spoken in this room
could ignite an entire country,
and now is not the time to stoke the fire.
Wh n you tell me
about a com >any cal ed A.B. Holdings?
sold it when i came to the bank.
I don't even know who owns it now
Hey.
-Be quiet.
You ruined my life.
Leave me alone.
Do I know you? What's your deal?
It's an admission confirming
that you've met Mr. Bergman before.
Has my brother picked up my son yet?
You're Natalie's brother?
-Yes.
just don't mention this in the letter.
I
You thought I'd write you
a recommendation for Harvard
because you..
-No.
If I'd known things were headed this way,
it wouldn't have happened.
Upon reviewingall charges,
I sentence the defendant Eliyahu Morduch
to 15 years in prison.
Someone filed a complaint against you.
According to the new protocol,
anyone with an outstanding complaint
is automatically suspended.
Who put you up to it, Morduch?
I don't have a choice.
I owe him a ton of money.
Tell me, since when
are indictments served so quickly?
There's a mortgage ban.
A swift decision is needed
in order to balance the economy.
Seems to me like they're using this ban
to close the case as quickly as possible.
The court accepts the State's position
which retracts the indictment
against Ophir Bergman,
who is found innocent.
There was no misconduct on his part
and he may return to his work at the bank.
I'm happy that justice prevailed,
and am delighted to return to my life,
my family, my dear wife and friends.
-Any whiskey?
My work at the bank, of course.
Thanks. Good evening.
I have no words to thank
each and every one of you.
I truly don't know
what I would've done without you.
As for that guy hiding in the back...
Come here, Kaminsky.
This guy helped and supported me,
and actually got me out of this mess, so..
Thank you, man. You did good. Give it up.
If any of you, God forbid,
ever need a lawyer,
then he's your guy.
Once again, thank you all for coming. Cheers!
Cheers.
-Cheers. -Go eat something.
I'll be with you in a second.
-Okay.
Come here, Kaminsky. Come here, man.
I'd like you to meet some people.
This is David.
My wife's brother.
-A pleasure. -A pleasure.
He heads the orthopedics department
at the Rabin Medical Center.
Oh, wow.
Wow Come, let me introduce you.
Mano always says,
"You gotta see it to believe it."
So here's Kaminsky, the wonder kid.
This is Shosh. You spoke on the phone.
-Oh, yes. Nice to meet you.
Tell me,
where'd you find this sweetheart?
I told you, he interned with Wasserberg.
Lucky you didn't stay there.
Lucky or smart,
depending on your perspective.
You know he really wanted to come.
But I couldn't make it happe
Wasserberg was supposed to be here?
No, not Wasserberg. A mutual friend of ours.
A shame, I wanted you to meet him.
What's he doing in Austria?
-Some UNESCO thing. Damn them.
Come.
Did you tell Mano?
What did you tell him?
What could I say?
And he's fine with it?
it's Mano.
He's stronger than anyone.
What are you doing on Sunday?
Don't answer that.
On Sunday I want you in my office.
I'd like to go over some things.
There's also the issue of your fee,
isn't there?
No worries. I'm in no rush.
My office, Sunday.
Come meet my wife.
Hey, ladies.
You're an idiot.
You're insane. Why did you go see her?
You're lucky they didn't arrest you
on the spot.
Who knows what he'll do with that now.
You played right into his hands.
Morduch must be overjoyed.
Don't be mad.
This suspension is killing me.
So let's agree that you stop doing
things like that.
Fine! Quiet, the girls are sleeping.
Don't you understand he has it in for you?
Cool.
We have to get you a lawye
No need, Marcelle.
-Don't tell me what you need.
You think he's going to let this go?
-Shh...
Dad. Who are you talking to?
Sorry.
Today, a senior staff member
at the DA's office criticized
the decision to indict VP Bergman.
The task before us is a complex one.
The prosecution will bring
the guilty parties to justice.
But in this case,
it was in the public's interest
to remove the mortgage ban
and make sure
that all mortgage recipients are safe.
VP Ophir Bergman was fully acquitted
and will return to his position at the bank.
What?
-Look at him.
Back at the bank as if nothing happened.
Oh, man.
What's so funny?
I know you, Marcelle Ben David.
Poor guy, he doesn't know
who he's dealing with.
Son of a bitch. Reminds me of the guy
who screwed my dad over.
Look at him smile.
Look at him. Like he got all the cream.
Poor guy. My heart goes out to him.
All that course crap?
Why would you sit in a basement
and fight over an assistant job?
Or worse..
Marcelle.
Meri asked me to give you these files.
-What is this?
Arrest duty. You're on for this week,
maybe next week as well.
Am I being punished?
-No, of course not.
But after a complex legal experience
like the one you just had,
we usually give people...
a break.
-A break? -Yeah.
What about the interns? Are they with me?
With Bar On.
Thanks.
Good luck.
Good morning.
-Need a hand?
No, I'm taking all this to court.
All that?
-Yeah.
Arrest duty.
You need me to look up rulings?
Assessments? Anything?
No, thank you.
You'll be working with Bar On from now on.
-What? Why?
That was the decision.
I think it's better, no?
For how long?
have no idea.
Right now I'm on duty
for the next week or two. I hope.
I meant Bar On. Is it permanent?
i don't know.
Go ahead, he's probably waiting.
You coming or what?
What's with you?
Go, I'm right behind you.
She fought with Esti and Noa
and now the entire kindergarten
has gone crazy.
I can't discuss it now. I have to go. Thanks.
Good morning, kiddos.
Don't know if you heard...
-We did.
Great. So you'll be working with me now.
Ya'ara.
These folders contain internal reports.
I need you to go over them
and look for evidence.
If you can't find any,
send it to be shredded.
Are you familiar with the Issacharoff ruling?
You mean the one about interrogation rights?
Exactly! I need you to draft an opinion
to the police task force
regarding a covert investigation
I'm dealing with.
New case?
Please prepare a case summary
and any additions,
if you have a fresh perspective to add.
You know, Baumhacker
has an interesting ruling.
Check that, it may save you some time.
Ya'ara, hurry up with those files, please.
Yes, follow protocol.
Forms and everything.
Put it on my desk, I'll handle it.
Hey, Meri.
It's good to see you.
Are you joining the conference?
We're just heading into a panel
on... equality under the law.
-Equality under the law.
No, I'm not here for the conference.
Can I have a moment alone with Judge Kahan?
Certainly.
So... Is anything wrong?
How long have we known each other, Avigdor?
30 years?
Since you married Yiga .
And in all those years, did you ever
get the impression that I'm an idiot?
On the contrary, you seem very intelligent.
Why?
So what did you think?
That I wouldn't figure out
you planted a Trojan horse in my office?
That I would miss the fact
that you're pulling her strings?
What the hell are ou talking about?
Whose strings am I pulling?
I don't know whose head you're gunning for,
but rest assured that I'm no sucker.
I didn't get to where I am by being a sucker.
You tried.
We're on to your trick with Ben David.
Don't you dare try it again.
Good day, Avigdor.
What's up, Cohen?
Can I call you back?
Where are you?
Serving time. Arrest duty.
Listen, I... need to talk to you urgently.
What happened?
I have 30 minutes before my next hearing.
Can you come here?
No, not inside the courthouse.
There's a public park behind the parking lot.
Meet me there.
Okay, I'm on my way. Bye.
I want you to know I didn't leak the story.
I didn't trick you.
I had no idea she would disappear like that.
I know.
Is that why you needed to see me so urgently?
No.
This is why.
What's going on, Cohen?
Wait.
This guy came to see me this morning.
Didn't have an appointment. Nobody I know.
Came into my office, put an envelope
with 20,000 dollars in cash on my desk.
Told me he was sent
to settle Yerushalmi's bill.
I don't know if Yerushalmi
pulled a fast one on us,
or if she's been abducted
and he was there to pay me hush money.
How did Yerushalmi find you?
Who hired you to defend her?
She hired me herself.
Her husband called me
the day she was arrested,
said a friend recommended me
and gave him my number.
You know him?
I think so.
What are you doing?
I need to submit
my Harvard application today.
Could you maybe go over it with me,
see that I'm not making a fool of myself?
In the middle of work?
Please, Khalil. At least read the essay.
Come and sit for a moment.
"My passion for law developed
"around the ability to frame conflict
of human rights in the public interest.
"I am counted as a public servant."
When were you a public servant?
-Now.
Interning at the DA's office, you know.
You're shameless.
-Come on, Khalil.
Everyone lies on their resume.
It's part of the deal.
-Oh, so if everyone does it,
it must be okay.
Fine, can you just plug in some fancy words
quickly, before he comes back?
What about recommendations?
You don't have any.
I have one recommendation,
from an old professor.
It's on my desktop.
What about Bar On?
Didn't he give you a recommendation?
He can go to hell.
I don't need anything from him.
What? He wouldn't give you a recommendation?
After everything you did for him?
That's not fair.
Why, what did I do?
I mean, you stayed all night
to work with him on the extradition requests.
What do you mean?
Khalil, what do you mean?
Did he say anything, that bastard?
What did he say?
He didn't say anything. I saw it.
What did you see?
I left my keys in the office,
so I came back up.
I wish I was dead
Eww. Khalil!
Now you tell me?
Food will be ready soon.
Hello?
Kobi, tell the girls to come down.
What's wrong, Orit?
I'm waiting for them in the car.
What do you mean? It's my day.
You can't just come and pick them up.
Kobi, I'm asking nicely.
Don't make me cause a scene, okay?
Will you send them down,
or do I need to call the police?
What?
What's going on?
Girls, tell your dad goodbye
and wait for me in the car.
Bye, Dad.
-Bye, Daddy.
You issued a restraining order against me?
Kobi, don't start. Let me go.
Talk to my lawyer.
-What's wrong with you?
You really believe I was arrested for rape?
It's Morduch, he's trying to get back at me.
Eini? You got Eini to represent you?
Orit,
did he approach you?
Do you even know what you're doing?
Hiring a man you don't know
and works for the mob
to represent you against your kids' father?
Are you insane?
-Kobi, enough!
Stop it.
-Did you think about that? Are you stupid?
Or do you hate me this much?
-Enough, Kobi.
I'm calling the police.
-Answer me!
The girls. Enough!
-Orit, you can't take them away.
They're everything to me.
-Kobi, let me go.
Open the door.
Open the door!
Nati.
-Marcelle!
Welcome. What are you doing here?
I need to talk to you.
-Sure. Coffee?
No, nothing.
I have new information about the case.
What case?
The mortgage case. What else?
Oh... Marcelle,
I love how passionate you are,
but this whole thing is behind us.
You know this man?
He came to see Yerushalmi's lawyer today,
to pay him his fee.
Gave him 20,000 dollars in hush money.
You know who that is?
it's Natalie Khalfon's brother.
He was here to pick up her son.
Look him up. See for yourself.
Marcelle, I can't keep investigating
closed cases.
You want to reopen the case?
Initiate an investigation? Go ahead.
Get a superior to sign off on it,
get Nahmias to approve and we'll do it.
i can't do whatever I want.
I see.
-What do you see?
That you're an old scaredy-cat.
You jerk.
-Nati,
it's not enough to go to Nahmias,
and you know it.
She can't stand to look at me as it is.
I can't, Marcelle.
The task force was disbanded,
I have a new case to deal with.
Fine. Forget it.
Come back. Well?
What's his name?
-Meir Khalfon.
Write down his ID number:
023564378.
There we go.
Meir Khalfon.
-Well?
Lives in Ashkelon.
No criminal record.
There's not much I can do without a record.
See for yourself.
I hope you can understand me.
i do.
Thanks, Nati.
Marcelle, do me a favor.
Don't do anything stupid.
Ya'ara.
Ya'ara.
Go away. Leave me alone.
I fixed your application.
i don't care. I don't need it.
I won't get in anyway.
Not everyone is right for Harvard.
Elisha refused for a reason.
You know you can file
a complaint against him?
What happened that night
was sexual harassment.
No, what happened that night
was me being stupid.
i made the first move.
In every workplace today,
in every regulation,
it's forbidden for a boss
to sleep with a subordinate.
classic abuse of authority.
Life isn't regulation, Khalil.
Things happen between men and women,
okay?
What would I complain about?
It was consensual.
There's no consent between
a supervisor and a subordinate.
Leave me alone. Let it go, okay? Really.
Just because I regret it now,
just like I regret half the men I slept with,
doesn't mean I was harassed.
Ya'ara, if a client came to you
and told you she was up all night
working with her boss
and that he slept with her,
wouldn't you tell her to complain?
Khalil, just leave me alone!
I initiated it, okay?
I can't do this. Leave me alone.
yes
Thank you very much.
yes
Just glad that it's behind me.
Well, what else is new? People get jealous.
yes
The worst thing you can do
in Israel is succeed.
You should know.
My friend, I appreciate your support.
Yes. No, someone just stepped into my office.
I'll call you next week.
Yes. Thanks. Bye.
Friday was nice, wasn't it?
Nice? I'm still recovering.
Which whiskey was it? Fiddich?
Nice! 30 year old.
-Wow.
I'll have Nofar send you a bottle.
Here you go, friend.
Some bills are a pleasure to pay.
It's a little more than what we agreed on.
wow
That's something no client
has ever said to his lawyer, ever.
I'm not just any client.
Let's say that extra in there
is a down payment.
-Down payment? For what?
You're on my radar, Kaminsky,
and I want you with me.
I'm cooking up a big project for you.
If everything goes smoothly,
you'll be looking at a nice commission.
What do you think? Sounds good?
Yeah, it does.
I'm with you, Ophir. Whenever you need me.
Good. That's how I like it.
Now, listen.
I have a client, a friend.
Maybe you've heard of him.
Misholi, the importer for Mercedes.
He received some custom-made pieces
from a show in Italy.
They're display models
that he can’t even sell.
Rough terrain, open road?
Terrain, road. I like it all.
Good. Great.
Here.
What do you mean?
Take it. Keep it for me until further notice.
Don't worry about licensing.
We'll list it under your name. Okay?
This is...
Why are you looking at me like that?
Go on,
it's waiting for you
in the parking lot downstairs.
Go on. Have fun.
-Okay.
Bye.
Thank you.
Kaminsky.
Drive carefully.
What you're reporting is very serious.
May I ask where you got this information?
She told me.
And..
I saw it.
I left my keys in the office one day, and...
i see.
Even if this is just a report
and not a complaint,
as Commissioner of Sexual Harassment
I must follow protocol.
Of course.
I only ask, sincerely,
that Ya'ara doesn't take
any independent action.
Social media, shaming.
You know, nowadays the tiniest thing
goes straight to...
She's nowhere close.
She doesn't even want to complain.
That's why I came to you.
I really...
I don't know what to say.
Can I ask you for a small favor?
Can you go to the library
and get me the protocol?
It's hard for me to go up the stairs.
-Sure. -Thanks.
Meri.
Yes, we have a problem.
Another issue with Elisha.
Did you find it, Khalil?
You... here for me?
No, I'm headed to Zvuluni's courtroom.
Got a plea deal there.
Plea deals are in building B.
Fine, I'm here for you.
On what matter?
Our matter.
What matter do we have?
I wanted to say good job.
Really. You put up one hell of a fight.
Well done.
That whole thing with 10A was a nice trick.
You're a brave girl, Marcelle.
You came all this way to compliment me
on how nicely I lost the case?
You think you lost?
-Did I win?
Okay, only came to congratulate you.
I don't need your congratulations, Dor.
Your client made some deal to get out.
-Deal?
It wasn't the result of anything
you did or didn't do.
You know that very well.
-Okay, wow.
I didn't come here to fight.
So why did you come?
I came to say that now that the case is over,
it may be an opportunity
to give this a chance.
You and me.
I like you, Advocate Ben David.
I'd like to enter that into the record.
What about the Brazilian model?
You'll break her heart, poor thing.
Well, I'm looking for
a woman without a heart.
Funny.
I'm on arrest duty.
I have some assessments to finish.
Yeah, me too. I have to... You know.
-Yeah.
Sure. Zvuluni is on edge, waiting for you.
I'll talk to you.
Yes?
Kaminsky, begging isn't sexy.
You're right.
If you change your mind, then...
I'm in building B.
-The plea deal.
Which doesn't exist.
-Right there.
Look, I wanted to verify something with you.
It's not easy, but I don't have a choice.
We need to discuss it.
I received a report about you.
An event which was classified
as sexual harassment.
I wasn't sexually harassed.
It... must be a mistake.
I don't know. Who reported it?
Maybe harassment isn't the right word.
But I've been informed that...
how can I say this? Your supervisor
asked you to work overtime last week.
Yes. Is that a problem?
It is if he abused the fact
that you stayed late to work with him.
He didn't abuse anything.
I understand it may be
difficult to talk about.
But as the Commissioner of Sexual Harassment
I can't ignore the reports I receive.
Look, I don't know who...
I don't know what this person
think they saw or heard, but...
Advocate Bar On did not assault me
or do anything agains my will, okay?
Nothing like that.
So you're saying
you did have relatio s with him,
but they were consensual?
Are you aware Elisha is a married man?
He has two kids.
I'm sorry. It won't happen again, I swear.
I understand.
There's just one point I need to clarify
regarding the recommendation
you were due to receive.
Is it possible you initiated
relations with him
in exchange for the recommendation
he was supposed to...
I didn't get any recommendation.
I'm glad to hear
this wasn't about sexual favors or extortion.
That could really... ruin someone's life.
No.
All it was
was a consensual mistake, okay?
Nothing else.
Just for the record, I'd like to say that...
It's customary for an intern
who needs a recommendation
\
to submit a written, reasoned request,
which I then pass on to the District Attorney
or their direct supervisor.
Yes?Just so we're clear.
-Of course.
Khalil.
Come here.
Why would you go to Baumhacker?
I told you I didn't want this to be a thing.
You understand you're going to get me fired?
They can't fire you. That's illegal.
They have to follow
the sexual harassment protocol.
Do you think anyone cares about protocol?
Did Baumhacker say she was going to fire you?
She didn't have to say it, Khalil.
You went and told her
I fucked him for a recommendation.
Do you understand what that means?
It's a sexual favor.
They throw people out for less.
That's not what I said.
-That's what she understood, okay?
You have to go and fix it.
How?
-I can't believe you did this. I don't know!
But you'll go and fix it.
Khalil, you will get me out of this shit.
I can't get fired.
I'll die if my mother ever finds out.
Okay. I'
I'll think of something.
-Figure it out, Khalil.
Nahmias is punishing me.
Arrests.
Punishment?
I imagined she'd be gunning for you.
thought I'd do great things
at the DA's office.
I hope you're not disappointed in me.
Stop it. It's not you who should
be ashamed of that day in the courtroom.
I have to show you something.
-What?
It's a record summary which proves
that Bergman sold his private company
to Meir Khalfon, Gilbert's brother-in-law.
Khalfon saw Yerushalmi's lawyer today
and paid him hush money.
It proves there's a criminal connection
between Bergman and Khalfon.
Now, I'm supposed to take this to Nahmias
and ask her to reopen the case,
but there's no way
she'll do anything with it.
She was so determined to close the case
and acquit Bergman.
You think she has an ulterior motive?
Yes, I think so.
Unfortunately, I'm not surprised.
It's been a concern of mine for years.
I had an ulterior motive too.
I secretly hoped
we'd arrive at this junction.
I don't understand what you're saying.
Meri and I have known each other for years.
Her late husband, Yigal,
was a very good friend of mine.
He was an honorable man,
hard-working. He built this country.
But in his final years both him and Meri...
How shall I put this..
lost control.
There were rumors about Yigal,
real estate deals he was involved in,
large projects in Israel and Africa.
There was a story
about a project he'd built in Jerusalem.
I can't give you any details, but...
felt then that we..
no longer held the same values.
Could that be the link
between Nahmias and Bergman,
her husband's business?
It pains me to say it,
but it's a distinct possibility.
Look into a case called "Kinor David".
I'd rather not say any more.
Ten minutes, Ko i. Or else.
What's up, Morduch?
-I'm great, and you?
Do you want to kill me?
Shall we take off your handcuffs
and get it over with now?
Heaven forbid.
I'm in no rush,-Yaakov.
I have plenty of time on my hands.
I can think, plan.
We'll do this right.
Yes? You want to tell me your plans?
Of course not.
I don't want to spoil the surprise.
You talk big for someone
who's going to be in here for 15 years.
From what I hear,
you'll be joining me here soon.
You think I'm scared of your threats?
Come on, Morduch. I put you in here.
Forget the crap. Tell me,
how's,our friend?
I have a plan for her, too.
Watch it, Morduch.
Watch it. Your business is with me.
Stick with me.
Hold on a minute. I should watch it?
In here, thank God,
I have the best prison guards in the country
keeping me safe.
You're the one running around outside,
tailing my woman like a dog,
waiting for her to throw you a bone.
-She's not your woman, Morduch.
She's not yours, either.
Tell me, Kobi.
Why do you get upset
whenever I mention Marcella?
If I fucked your wife,
would you throw the same tantrum?
Shut up, Morduch. Shut it.
Forget it. You're boring.
You're not man enough for her.
And you are a man? Faggot.
Threatening women.
Don't you have any respect?
I would never threaten Marcella.
You know, of all the women I had,
she's the only one I miss.
You see, her taste, her smell.
Gra ing er nec an tearing erapart.
Eating her up. You know?
Guard! Guard!
that every word spoken in this room
could ignite an entire country,
and now is not the time to stoke the fire.
Wh n you tell me
about a com >any cal ed A.B. Holdings?
sold it when i came to the bank.
I don't even know who owns it now
Hey.
-Be quiet.
You ruined my life.
Leave me alone.
Do I know you? What's your deal?
It's an admission confirming
that you've met Mr. Bergman before.
Has my brother picked up my son yet?
You're Natalie's brother?
-Yes.
just don't mention this in the letter.
I
You thought I'd write you
a recommendation for Harvard
because you..
-No.
If I'd known things were headed this way,
it wouldn't have happened.
Upon reviewingall charges,
I sentence the defendant Eliyahu Morduch
to 15 years in prison.
Someone filed a complaint against you.
According to the new protocol,
anyone with an outstanding complaint
is automatically suspended.
Who put you up to it, Morduch?
I don't have a choice.
I owe him a ton of money.
Tell me, since when

There's a mortgage ban.
A swift decision is needed

Seems to me like they're using this ban
to close the case as quickly as possible.
The court accepts the State's position

and he may return to his work at the bank.
I'm happy that justice prevailed,
and am delighted to return to my life,
my family, my dear wife and friends.
-Any whiskey?
My work at the bank, of course.
Thanks. Good evening.
I have no words to thank
each and every one of you.
I truly don't know
what I would've done without you.
As for that guy hiding in the back...
Come here, Kaminsky.
This guy helped and supported me,
and actually got me out of this mess, so..
Thank you, man. You did good. Give it up.
If any of you, God forbid,
ever need a lawyer,
then he's your guy.
Once again, thank you all for coming. Cheers!
Cheers.
-Cheers. -Go eat something.
I'll be with you in a second.
-Okay.
Come here, Kaminsky. Come here, man.
I'd like you to meet some people.
This is David.
My wife's brother.
-A pleasure. -A pleasure.
He heads the orthopedics department
at the Rabin Medical Center.
Oh, wow.
Wow Come, let me introduce you.
Mano always says,
"You gotta see it to believe it."
So here's Kaminsky, the wonder kid.
This is Shosh. You spoke on the phone.
-Oh, yes. Nice to meet you.
Tell me,
where'd you find this sweetheart?
I told you, he interned with Wasserberg.
Lucky you didn't stay there.
Lucky or smart,
depending on your perspective.
You know he really wanted to come.
But I couldn't make it happe
Wasserberg was supposed to be here?
No, not Wasserberg. A mutual friend of ours.
A shame, I wanted you to meet him.
What's he doing in Austria?
-Some UNESCO thing. Damn them.
Come.
Did you tell Mano?
What did you tell him?
What could I say?
And he's fine with it?
it's Mano.
He's stronger than anyone.
What are you doing on Sunday?
Don't answer that.
On Sunday I want you in my office.
I'd like to go over some things.
There's also the issue of your fee,
isn't there?
No worries. I'm in no rush.
My office, Sunday.
Come meet my wife.
Hey, ladies.
You're an idiot.
You're insane. Why did you go see her?
You're lucky they didn't arrest you
on the spot.
Who knows what he'll do with that now.
You played right into his hands.
Morduch must be overjoyed.
Don't be mad.
This suspension is killing me.
So let's agree that you stop doing
things like that.
Fine! Quiet, the girls are sleeping.
Don't you understand he has it in for you?
Cool.
We have to get you a lawye
No need, Marcelle.
-Don't tell me what you need.
You think he's going to let this go?
-Shh...
Dad. Who are you talking to?
Sorry.
Today, a senior staff member
at the DA's office criticized
the decision to indict VP Bergman.
The task before us is a complex one.
The prosecution will bring
the guilty parties to justice.
But in this case,
it was in the public's interest
to remove the mortgage ban
and make sure
that all mortgage recipients are safe.
VP Ophir Bergman was fully acquitted
and will return to his position at the bank.
What?
-Look at him.
Back at the bank as if nothing happened.
Oh, man.
What's so funny?
I know you, Marcelle Ben David.
Poor guy, he doesn't know
who he's dealing with.
Son of a bitch. Reminds me of the guy
who screwed my dad over.
Look at him smile.
Look at him. Like he got all the cream.
Poor guy. My heart goes out to him.
All that course crap?
Why would you sit in a basement
and fight over an assistant job?
Or worse..
Marcelle.
Meri asked me to give you these files.
-What is this?
Arrest duty. You're on for this week,
maybe next week as well.
Am I being punished?
-No, of course not.
But after a complex legal experience
like the one you just had,
we usually give people...
a break.
-A break? -Yeah.
What about the interns? Are they with me?
With Bar On.
Thanks.
Good luck.
Good morning.
-Need a hand?
No, I'm taking all this to court.
All that?
-Yeah.
Arrest duty.
You need me to look up rulings?
Assessments? Anything?
No, thank you.
You'll be working with Bar On from now on.
-What? Why?
That was the decision.
I think it's better, no?
For how long?
have no idea.
Right now I'm on duty
for the next week or two. I hope.
I meant Bar On. Is it permanent?
i don't know.
Go ahead, he's probably waiting.
You coming or what?
What's with you?
Go, I'm right behind you.
She fought with Esti and Noa
and now the entire kindergarten
has gone crazy.
I can't discuss it now. I have to go. Thanks.
Good morning, kiddos.
Don't know if you heard...
-We did.
Great. So you'll be working with me now.
Ya'ara.
These folders contain internal reports.
I need you to go over them
and look for evidence.
If you can't find any,
send it to be shredded.
Are you familiar with the Issacharoff ruling?
You mean the one about interrogation rights?
Exactly! I need you to draft an opinion
to the police task force
regarding a covert investigation
I'm dealing with.
New case?
Please prepare a case summary
and any additions,
if you have a fresh perspective to add.
You know, Baumhacker
has an interesting ruling.
Check that, it may save you some time.
Ya'ara, hurry up with those files, please.
Yes, follow protocol.
Forms and everything.
Put it on my desk, I'll handle it.
Hey, Meri.
It's good to see you.
Are you joining the conference?
We're just heading into a panel
on... equality under the law.
-Equality under the law.
No, I'm not here for the conference.
Can I have a moment alone with Judge Kahan?
Certainly.
So... Is anything wrong?
How long have we known each other, Avigdor?
30 years?
Since you married Yiga .
And in all those years, did you ever
get the impression that I'm an idiot?
On the contrary, you seem very intelligent.
Why?
So what did you think?
That I wouldn't figure out
you planted a Trojan horse in my office?
That I would miss the fact
that you're pulling her strings?
What the hell are ou talking about?
Whose strings am I pulling?
I don't know whose head you're gunning for,
but rest assured that I'm no sucker.
I didn't get to where I am by being a sucker.
You tried.
We're on to your trick with Ben David.
Don't you dare try it again.
Good day, Avigdor.
What's up, Cohen?
Can I call you back?
Where are you?
Serving time. Arrest duty.
Listen, I... need to talk to you urgently.
What happened?
I have 30 minutes before my next hearing.
Can you come here?
No, not inside the courthouse.
There's a public park behind the parking lot.
Meet me there.
Okay, I'm on my way. Bye.
I want you to know I didn't leak the story.
I didn't trick you.
I had no idea she would disappear like that.
I know.
Is that why you needed to see me so urgently?
No.
This is why.
What's going on, Cohen?
Wait.
This guy came to see me this morning.
Didn't have an appointment. Nobody I know.
Came into my office, put an envelope
with 20,000 dollars in cash on my desk.
Told me he was sent
to settle Yerushalmi's bill.
I don't know if Yerushalmi
pulled a fast one on us,
or if she's been abducted
and he was there to pay me hush money.
How did Yerushalmi find you?
Who hired you to defend her?
She hired me herself.
Her husband called me
the day she was arrested,
said a friend recommended me
and gave him my number.
You know him?
I think so.
What are you doing?
I need to submit
my Harvard application today.
Could you maybe go over it with me,
see that I'm not making a fool of myself?
In the middle of work?
Please, Khalil. At least read the essay.
Come and sit for a moment.
"My passion for law developed
"around the ability to frame conflict
of human rights in the public interest.
"I am counted as a public servant."
When were you a public servant?
-Now.
Interning at the DA's office, you know.
You're shameless.
-Come on, Khalil.
Everyone lies on their resume.
It's part of the deal.
-Oh, so if everyone does it,
it must be okay.
Fine, can you just plug in some fancy words
quickly, before he comes back?
What about recommendations?
You don't have any.
I have one recommendation,
from an old professor.
It's on my desktop.
What about Bar On?
Didn't he give you a recommendation?
He can go to hell.
I don't need anything from him.
What? He wouldn't give you a recommendation?
After everything you did for him?
That's not fair.
Why, what did I do?
I mean, you stayed all night
to work with him on the extradition requests.
What do you mean?
Khalil, what do you mean?
Did he say anything, that bastard?
What did he say?
He didn't say anything. I saw it.
What did you see?
I left my keys in the office,
so I came back up.
I wish I was dead
Eww. Khalil!
Now you tell me?
Food will be ready soon.
Hello?
Kobi, tell the girls to come down.
What's wrong, Orit?
I'm waiting for them in the car.
What do you mean? It's my day.
You can't just come and pick them up.
Kobi, I'm asking nicely.
Don't make me cause a scene, okay?
Will you send them down,
or do I need to call the police?
What?
What's going on?
Girls, tell your dad goodbye
and wait for me in the car.
Bye, Dad.
-Bye, Daddy.
You issued a restraining order against me?
Kobi, don't start. Let me go.
Talk to my lawyer.
-What's wrong with you?
You really believe I was arrested for rape?
It's Morduch, he's trying to get back at me.
Eini? You got Eini to represent you?
Orit,
did he approach you?
Do you even know what you're doing?
Hiring a man you don't know
and works for the mob
to represent you against your kids' father?
Are you insane?
-Kobi, enough!
Stop it.
-Did you think about that? Are you stupid?
Or do you hate me this much?
-Enough, Kobi.
I'm calling the police.
-Answer me!
The girls. Enough!
-Orit, you can't take them away.
They're everything to me.
-Kobi, let me go.
Open the door.
Open the door!
Nati.
-Marcelle!
Welcome. What are you doing here?
I need to talk to you.
-Sure. Coffee?
No, nothing.
I have new information about the case.
What case?
The mortgage case. What else?
Oh... Marcelle,
I love how passionate you are,
but this whole thing is behind us.
You know this man?
He came to see Yerushalmi's lawyer today,
to pay him his fee.
Gave him 20,000 dollars in hush money.
You know who that is?
it's Natalie Khalfon's brother.
He was here to pick up her son.
Look him up. See for yourself.
Marcelle, I can't keep investigating
closed cases.
You want to reopen the case?
Initiate an investigation? Go ahead.
Get a superior to sign off on it,
get Nahmias to approve and we'll do it.
i can't do whatever I want.
I see.
-What do you see?
That you're an old scaredy-cat.
You jerk.
-Nati,
it's not enough to go to Nahmias,
and you know it.
She can't stand to look at me as it is.
I can't, Marcelle.
The task force was disbanded,
I have a new case to deal with.
Fine. Forget it.
Come back. Well?
What's his name?
-Meir Khalfon.
Write down his ID number:
023564378.
There we go.
Meir Khalfon.
-Well?
Lives in Ashkelon.
No criminal record.
There's not much I can do without a record.
See for yourself.
I hope you can understand me.
i do.
Thanks, Nati.
Marcelle, do me a favor.
Don't do anything stupid.
Ya'ara.
Ya'ara.
Go away. Leave me alone.
I fixed your application.
i don't care. I don't need it.
I won't get in anyway.
Not everyone is right for Harvard.
Elisha refused for a reason.
You know you can file
a complaint against him?
What happened that night
was sexual harassment.
No, what happened that night
was me being stupid.
i made the first move.
In every workplace today,
in every regulation,
it's forbidden for a boss
to sleep with a subordinate.
classic abuse of authority.
Life isn't regulation, Khalil.
Things happen between men and women,
okay?
What would I complain about?
It was consensual.
There's no consent between
a supervisor and a subordinate.
Leave me alone. Let it go, okay? Really.
Just because I regret it now,
just like I regret half the men I slept with,
doesn't mean I was harassed.
Ya'ara, if a client came to you
and told you she was up all night
working with her boss
and that he slept with her,
wouldn't you tell her to complain?
Khalil, just leave me alone!
I initiated it, okay?
I can't do this. Leave me alone.
yes
Thank you very much.
yes
Just glad that it's behind me.
Well, what else is new? People get jealous.
yes
The worst thing you can do
in Israel is succeed.
You should know.
My friend, I appreciate your support.
Yes. No, someone just stepped into my office.
I'll call you next week.
Yes. Thanks. Bye.
Friday was nice, wasn't it?
Nice? I'm still recovering.
Which whiskey was it? Fiddich?
Nice! 30 year old.
-Wow.
I'll have Nofar send you a bottle.
Here you go, friend.
Some bills are a pleasure to pay.
It's a little more than what we agreed on.
wow
That's something no client
has ever said to his lawyer, ever.
I'm not just any client.
Let's say that extra in there
is a down payment.
-Down payment? For what?
You're on my radar, Kaminsky,
and I want you with me.
I'm cooking up a big project for you.
If everything goes smoothly,
you'll be looking at a nice commission.
What do you think? Sounds good?
Yeah, it does.
I'm with you, Ophir. Whenever you need me.
Good. That's how I like it.
Now, listen.
I have a client, a friend.
Maybe you've heard of him.
Misholi, the importer for Mercedes.
He received some custom-made pieces
from a show in Italy.
They're display models
that he can’t even sell.
Rough terrain, open road?
Terrain, road. I like it all.
Good. Great.
Here.
What do you mean?
Take it. Keep it for me until further notice.
Don't worry about licensing.
We'll list it under your name. Okay?
This is...
Why are you looking at me like that?
Go on,
it's waiting for you
in the parking lot downstairs.
Go on. Have fun.
-Okay.
Bye.
Thank you.
Kaminsky.
Drive carefully.
What you're reporting is very serious.
May I ask where you got this information?
She told me.
And..
I saw it.
I left my keys in the office one day, and...
i see.
Even if this is just a report
and not a complaint,
as Commissioner of Sexual Harassment
I must follow protocol.
Of course.
I only ask, sincerely,
that Ya'ara doesn't take
any independent action.
Social media, shaming.
You know, nowadays the tiniest thing
goes straight to...
She's nowhere close.
She doesn't even want to complain.
That's why I came to you.
I really...
I don't know what to say.
Can I ask you for a small favor?
Can you go to the library
and get me the protocol?
It's hard for me to go up the stairs.
-Sure. -Thanks.
Meri.
Yes, we have a problem.
Another issue with Elisha.
Did you find it, Khalil?
You... here for me?
No, I'm headed to Zvuluni's courtroom.
Got a plea deal there.
Plea deals are in building B.
Fine, I'm here for you.
On what matter?
Our matter.
What matter do we have?
I wanted to say good job.
Really. You put up one hell of a fight.
Well done.
That whole thing with 10A was a nice trick.
You're a brave girl, Marcelle.
You came all this way to compliment me
on how nicely I lost the case?
You think you lost?
-Did I win?
Okay, only came to congratulate you.
I don't need your congratulations, Dor.
Your client made some deal to get out.
-Deal?
It wasn't the result of anything
you did or didn't do.
You know that very well.
-Okay, wow.
I didn't come here to fight.
So why did you come?
I came to say that now that the case is over,
it may be an opportunity
to give this a chance.
You and me.
I like you, Advocate Ben David.
I'd like to enter that into the record.
What about the Brazilian model?
You'll break her heart, poor thing.
Well, I'm looking for
a woman without a heart.
Funny.
I'm on arrest duty.
I have some assessments to finish.
Yeah, me too. I have to... You know.
-Yeah.
Sure. Zvuluni is on edge, waiting for you.
I'll talk to you.
Yes?
Kaminsky, begging isn't sexy.
You're right.
If you change your mind, then...
I'm in building B.
-The plea deal.
Which doesn't exist.
-Right there.
Look, I wanted to verify something with you.
It's not easy, but I don't have a choice.
We need to discuss it.
I received a report about you.
An event which was classified
as sexual harassment.
I wasn't sexually harassed.
It... must be a mistake.
I don't know. Who reported it?
Maybe harassment isn't the right word.
But I've been informed that...
how can I say this? Your supervisor
asked you to work overtime last week.
Yes. Is that a problem?
It is if he abused the fact
that you stayed late to work with him.
He didn't abuse anything.
I understand it may be
difficult to talk about.
But as the Commissioner of Sexual Harassment
I can't ignore the reports I receive.
Look, I don't know who...
I don't know what this person
think they saw or heard, but...
Advocate Bar On did not assault me
or do anything agains my will, okay?
Nothing like that.
So you're saying
you did have relatio s with him,
but they were consensual?
Are you aware Elisha is a married man?
He has two kids.
I'm sorry. It won't happen again, I swear.
I understand.
There's just one point I need to clarify
regarding the recommendation
you were due to receive.
Is it possible you initiated
relations with him
in exchange for the recommendation
he was supposed to...
I didn't get any recommendation.
I'm glad to hear
this wasn't about sexual favors or extortion.
That could really... ruin someone's life.
No.
All it was
was a consensual mistake, okay?
Nothing else.
Just for the record, I'd like to say that...
It's customary for an intern
who needs a recommendation
\
to submit a written, reasoned request,
which I then pass on to the District Attorney
or their direct supervisor.
Yes?Just so we're clear.
-Of course.
Khalil.
Come here.
Why would you go to Baumhacker?
I told you I didn't want this to be a thing.
You understand you're going to get me fired?
They can't fire you. That's illegal.
They have to follow
the sexual harassment protocol.
Do you think anyone cares about protocol?
Did Baumhacker say she was going to fire you?
She didn't have to say it, Khalil.
You went and told her
I fucked him for a recommendation.
Do you understand what that means?
It's a sexual favor.
They throw people out for less.
That's not what I said.
-That's what she understood, okay?
You have to go and fix it.
How?
-I can't believe you did this. I don't know!
But you'll go and fix it.
Khalil, you will get me out of this shit.
I can't get fired.
I'll die if my mother ever finds out.
Okay. I'
I'll think of something.
-Figure it out, Khalil.
Nahmias is punishing me.
Arrests.
Punishment?
I imagined she'd be gunning for you.
thought I'd do great things
at the DA's office.
I hope you're not disappointed in me.
Stop it. It's not you who should
be ashamed of that day in the courtroom.
I have to show you something.
-What?
It's a record summary which proves
that Bergman sold his private company
to Meir Khalfon, Gilbert's brother-in-law.
Khalfon saw Yerushalmi's lawyer today
and paid him hush money.
It proves there's a criminal connection
between Bergman and Khalfon.
Now, I'm supposed to take this to Nahmias
and ask her to reopen the case,
but there's no way
she'll do anything with it.
She was so determined to close the case
and acquit Bergman.
You think she has an ulterior motive?
Yes, I think so.
Unfortunately, I'm not surprised.
It's been a concern of mine for years.
I had an ulterior motive too.
I secretly hoped
we'd arrive at this junction.
I don't understand what you're saying.
Meri and I have known each other for years.
Her late husband, Yigal,
was a very good friend of mine.
He was an honorable man,
hard-working. He built this country.
But in his final years both him and Meri...
How shall I put this..
lost control.
There were rumors about Yigal,
real estate deals he was involved in,
large projects in Israel and Africa.
There was a story
about a project he'd built in Jerusalem.
I can't give you any details, but...
felt then that we..
no longer held the same values.
Could that be the link
between Nahmias and Bergman,
her husband's business?
It pains me to say it,
but it's a distinct possibility.
Look into a case called "Kinor David".
I'd rather not say any more.
Ten minutes, Ko i. Or else.
What's up, Morduch?
-I'm great, and you?
Do you want to kill me?
Shall we take off your handcuffs
and get it over with now?
Heaven forbid.
I'm in no rush,-Yaakov.
I have plenty of time on my hands.
I can think, plan.
We'll do this right.
Yes? You want to tell me your plans?
Of course not.
I don't want to spoil the surprise.
You talk big for someone
who's going to be in here for 15 years.
From what I hear,
you'll be joining me here soon.
You think I'm scared of your threats?
Come on, Morduch. I put you in here.
Forget the crap. Tell me,
how's,our friend?
I have a plan for her, too.
Watch it, Morduch.
Watch it. Your business is with me.
Stick with me.
Hold on a minute. I should watch it?
In here, thank God,
I have the best prison guards in the country
keeping me safe.
You're the one running around outside,
tailing my woman like a dog,
waiting for her to throw you a bone.
-She's not your woman, Morduch.
She's not yours, either.
Tell me, Kobi.
Why do you get upset
whenever I mention Marcella?
If I fucked your wife,
would you throw the same tantrum?
Shut up, Morduch. Shut it.
Forget it. You're boring.
You're not man enough for her.
And you are a man? Faggot.
Threatening women.
Don't you have any respect?
I would never threaten Marcella.
You know, of all the women I had,
she's the only one I miss.
You see, her taste, her smell.
Gra ing er nec an tearing erapart.
Eating her up. You know?
Guard! Guard!
