PMTA (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Episode #1.9 - full transcript
What Gilbert did was nothing
compared to what Bergman has been
pulling at the bank, you hear?
Get to the embassy in Buenos Aires,
hand in your passports.
Turn yourselves in,
say your lives are in danger.
They have to protect you.
She's willing to come back
and testify against them all.
Bergman, everything.
I hoped it wouldn't come to this,
but we need you to join the delegation.
It's okay. I thought this might happen.
Have a good flight.
Look into a case called "Kinor David".
If you know something
about Nahmias being corrupt,
why don't you go public?
What have you got to lose?
There's always something to lose.
What are you doing here, collaborator?
You're the only one I know
who can hack into government systems.
Here are the owners' names.
Maybe one of them will interest you.
Bergman.
Can you send an email for me
using an untraceable address?
Kinor David was built
by entrepreneur Yigal Nahmias,
Bergman received a gift
of a penthouse apartment
in the project,
worth millions of shekels.
You decided to clear your conscience
at my expense?
t wasn't me.
Your righteousness is patheti
I swear, it didn't come from me.
Of all the women I had,
she's the only one I miss.
My client has a close friend, a prosecutor,
who is willing to vouch for him
in her apartment in Tel Aviv.
You?
-Yes, Your Honor.
You?
es, our Honor.
I'd like to help you file a complaint.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm talking about how
Elisha Bar On sexually assaulted you
while abusing his position over you.
It didn't happen.
Now that he DA,
I'll need an intern with me at all times.
I don't really know what to say.
-Think about it.
But I won't be able to keep
both of you with me.
Cohen, can you hear me?
We couldn't make it to the embassy.
They were waiting for us.
They got Yoel.
Margalit was a public servant
in the truest sense of the word.
A woman of principals and thought,
dedication and courage.
She was known for her professionalism
by her colleagues at the DA's office
as well as the hundreds of students
she taught throughout the years,
here at the Open University, her second home.
In death she elected
to donate her body to science,
a noble, altruistic and unique choice,
and a painfully indicative one.
All we can do now
is to lower our heads in thanks, Margalit,
as your colleagues, students and even...
Is there no end to the hypocrisy?
No end to hypocrisy, Elisha?
-Like... Like...
Please, Meri.
-No limit to your hypocrisy?
You all hated her.
Every single one, and you especially.
And all those used tea bags
that she used to leave everywhere...
-Meri, enough.
Meri, this isn't...
-Don't stop me!
You want to talk about Margalit? -
Let's talk about Margalit.
I knew her better than all of you. -
Here, a eulogy. Let's go.
-Meri... -Here you go.
Margalit was a small woman.
Meri, there's no need...
A self-righteous, bothersome bureaucrat
who was a thorn
in everybody's side. That's what she was.
For crying out loud, last respects.
-Ungrateful.
Last respects? RestJn peace, Margalit.
Meri, enough.
What?
It's moments like these that make me question
the choices I've made.
You know, when I was younger I thought
that a dignified legal career,
which I've always considered a calling,
was so much more satisfying and important
than marriage or family.
Anyone can have a child
I remember I once said to my mother,
who only wanted a grandchild.
And in these moments I wonder
what I will leave behind
I wish she could have known you.
My mother.
She would've liked you.
You've done something
I wanted to do my whole life,
but never dared to do.
I couldn't do it, and you did.
Fat lot of good it did me.
Yerushalmi's been murdered.
Yes, I heard.
She was murdered because of me.
And I think Margalit died because of me, too.
Marcelle, Margalit's death
had nothing to do with you.
The poor thing was at death's door for years.
I tried to get her to talk.
Her and Yerushalmi.
Marcelle, you're on the right side.
You have to believe that.
You have to believe you're in the right.
Hello.
-Hello, Your Honor.
Unfortunate circumstances,
but congratulations on your appointment.
I don't envy you, by the way.
When you clean house you stir up a lot of...
dust.
Thank you, Your Honor.
The task force has updates.
Nati is waiting for us in the office, okay?
Yes, I'll be right there.
Excuse me, Your Honor.
-Yes.
Elisha, can I get a ride back to the office?
Yes, of ourse.
-Thanks.
Thanks.
Are you home?
I'm meeting Kobi at your place.
No. I have a meeting with the task force.
What's ring on? Any news from Argentina?
I can't give you an update, Cohen.
You know that.
Goddammit, Marcelle. Goddammit.
We got Rachel killed
and you're talking to me about protocol?
What do you want from me?
What do you expect me to say?
And over the phone, no less.
Rachel's daughter has been trying
to reach me since yesterday.
What can I say, that I was
the last one to talk to her mother?
That I brought her to Buenos Aires
to expose herself?
Cohen, I remind you we're on the phone.
Whoever's listening has already murdered her.
Do you think it's a coincidence
she was killed before our eyes?
Someone's trying to send us a message.
What
don't know, but it on us.
Know that. Its on both of us.
Okay, go see Kobi. We'll talk.
I was waiting for you.
Well, are you satisfied?
Walking around with that justice warrior face
when all you really care about
is your own ass.
I'm not after you, Meri.
-You're not after me?
You're not after me? You're kidding.
From the first moment you entered that room
that was your only goal,
to bury me.
Is that why he sent you here?
Don't get it wrong, sweetheart,
you're not the issue here.
You're just a puppet.
And don't think he's a saint.
But by the time you'll figure that out,
it'll be too late.
There's a total match
between the DNA at the scene
and Gilbert's data. It's conclusive.
On the other hand, we have no formal record
that he was in Argentina at the time
of the murder.
When it comes to a conman of his stature,
that's irrelevant.
want him tried in Israel.
Marcelle, you with us?
It's too easy.
The evidence is laid out so neatly.
The DNA conveniently matches
the info from the French database.
Even his hat is tossed on the sidewalk
in case we miss it.
Who murders like that?
Marcelle's right.
It's too organized.
It's Bergman.
We should charge him with murder.
Bergman again?
What are you basing this on?
Listen, I know I sound obsessive,
but during the talk with Yerushalmi
she talked of major corruption at the bank
arid specifically mentioned Bergman
rather than Gilbert.
Why isn't that on the recording?
It was during the first conversation,
the one we didn't record.
I'm with her.
Bergman is a bigger bastard than he lets on.
What will you arrest him for?
Conspiracy to murder?
Come on. It'll spark one hell of a riot.
The press is breathing down
our necks as it is.
Okay, we'll have to hold off on his arrest
until was have something more concrete.
No way Elisha
There's no way he can walk away from this!
Let's wiretap him. Anything.
Wiretapping requires the approval
of the Attorney General,
or we can't use it.
Put him under surveillance.
Nati, get on it. See where it goes.
I tell you, I was in the lab,
they dismantled my phone to pieces
and found no chips or bugs.
You don't need a chip nowadays, Cohen.
Someone can just take over your phone
and turn it into a tracking device
within seconds.
Can you do it?
-Me?
You're kidding. I can barely text.
Okay, listen.
I went to see Eini this morning
to sort out your visitation rights.
Well?
Orit won't let them come-here
under any circumstances.
She insists the meetings take place
at the social worker's office.
What's her problem?
Why does she have it in for you?
Why? Because of Marcelle.
She thinks something's going on between you.
Is it true, Kobi?
I would never cheat on my wife.
I don't break up families.
She's the one who got up and left.
Orit up and left.
Bless you, Kobi, but your taste in women...
Each one more pathetic than the other.
Marcelle isn't patheti
So you are together?
I already told you we weren't.
Am I ever getting that coffee?
-Hold on.
The legal question is,
who has precedence in Gilbert's extradition?
In Israel and Argentina,
he's wanted for Yerushalmi's murder.
In France and Belgium
there are a lots of convictions against him
but they're all theft and fraud.
So what do you want us to do?
Request an extradition from where?
We don't even know where he'll be caught.
Prepare two options,
one for country with an extradition treaty
and one for a country without.
The most important thing right now
is the legal argument, okay?
Why try him here, of all places?
Can I count on you to handle it?
-Sure.
What's up, Kobi?
-Fine, and you?
Don't know.
When a day starts with a funeral,
how can it possibly end?
Why don't you come home
and I’ll make some lunch?
I wish. No time.
Why put me in house arrest
if you're never here?
I'll tell the probation officer.
Fine. What are you making?
Son of a bitch. That's some life.
Private fitness instructor
that looks like a Victoria's Secret model.
Just find out if she's giving him anything.
I hope she does.
Especially bodily fluids.
Gross.
Elmakayes, how can you stand him?
Maybe we can use Rosenstein as a precedent?
it's not the same.
Because he'd already been convicted?
-Because it was the United States.
They haven't caught him yet.
We don't know who it'll be.
it won't be the States.
Why not? If the murder happened
in South America,
doesn't it make sense for him
to cross the border?
Khalil, quit playing, okay?
Neither one of us knows what to do,
and there's no precedent to help us.
So what do you want to do,
call Marcelle and tell her we have nothing?
Hold on.
The center of...
The center of gravity doctrine?
Is that what it's called?
I'll go get Zuckerman's notes.
No, don't go.
-There are notes... -Hold on a second.
What are you doing? Calling Marcelle?
Mommy, how are you?
Do you have a moment?
Can I ask you something?
I'm writing some arguments for extraditing
a murder suspect... -You can't.
Who's wanted in Israel, America and Europe.
What are you doing?
-We want him to be tried here.
Oh, of course.
Yeah, I thought of that. Center of gravity.
Of course. Thanks, Mommy. You're the best.
Not bad.
it's like CSI Ramla in here.
Overexcited, are we?
Don't be a bitch.
It helps me sort out my thoughts.
Where's the evidence?
The green folder.
Anything new? Interesting?
You hear me, Yaron? Anything new?
He just walked into the bank.
Do we have a wire inside,
in his office or something?
No. We're not cleared for wiretapping yet.
Nati, it's all crap.
This surveillance is worthless
without a wire.
What do you want me to do?
There's a new DA and he wants
to do things by the book.
After Nahmias, I can't blame him.
Bergman can do whatever he wants
and we'll never know.
The man is a VP at the bank.
He's under no restrictions.
He could sell the bank if he wanted to.
Everything to do with the bank
belongs to the Securities Authority anyway.
Nati, check out the security footage.
Look who's visiting the bank.
But Kaminsky belongs to us, no?
Yes. Yes.
Okay, Michael. I can't talk right now.
Look into that thing we discussed,
okay? Yeah. Bye.
Have a seat. Good to see you. Coffee?
No, thanks.
What happened? Was there a call
from the police or the DA's office?
No Why?
You told me it was urgent.
oh...
No, I need you to handle some things for me.
Now that they've got their eye on me
I wanted to make sure they don't start
asking questions again.
We have a few properties,
inherited from my wife's parents,
which are currently up for sale.
I need someone to handle the details,
that's all.
We'll open up a trust account for you
and the payment can go there.
Why do you need a trust account?
MY wife is trying to sell
her parents' apartment in Givtayim
There's also a store there
that's under their name.
Listen, real estate isn't really my field.
I'd rather not...
not get into it.
But I have an excellent colleague,
he'll do a great job.
There's nothing to get into.
The contract is signed.
It's just procedure.
There isn't even any paperwork.
It's not...
-Hey!
I'm counting on you.
You're the one I want.
And you'll get a nice fee.
What's the standard in real estate?
Five percent?
You'll get ten.
Okay.
Okay, head over to Lital in personal banking,
I'll have her open the account for you.
What's Kaminsky doing there?
What are they up to?
Maybe they're preparing for his arrest.
That's not what Kaminsky should be thinking.
He's not supposed to know we're onto him
Yeah.
Collaborator,
I think I found what you're looking for.
I'll be there in 20 minutes.
-Hurry up.
Yes, im coming. 20 minutes. Bye.
Nati, I have to go,
something urgent came up.
Keep me posted, okay?
Bye.
What's gojng.on?
Are they giving you any trouble
with the account?
No, that went smoothly. But...
Have you noticed a brown Hyndai
following you around?
I think you're being tailed.
Bastards-
Can they even do that?
What's going on? Is this a police state'
Calm down, Ophir.
Have your secretary bring them
some coffee and cookies.
use this to our advantage.
been waiting for ages.
Quickly. I'm not in the mood
for your crap today.
Come see something nice.
What's that?
Phone records from
Yerushalmi's mobile in Argentina.
manage to trace the line
she used to call you.
Both times.
-Are you serious?
What are those Israeli numbers?
Did you check them?
No, I was waiting for you.
Of course I checked them. All family.
Her daughter and sister.
And what are those?
Are those incoming or outgoing?
All outgoing.
The entire time she had this phone
there were only two incoming calls,
and they both took place
on the day before the murder
from the same hotel in California.
Casa del Mar in Santa Monica.
So the bottom line is,
whoever stayed at that hotel
was either her operator or her killer,
or both.
Now she gets it.
That's just what I've been trying to do,
get a list of the hotel guests
on those dates,
when the calls took place.
How much will it cost me this time?
Let's see what I find first.
Is that a new system? Retroactive pricing?
Whatever you find now,
I'll have to take to the police.
So it'll cost you more.
-Fine.
Make sure I can use it.
What's up, Nati?
Okay.
I need you to bring in
Natalie Khalfon for questioning.
If it really is Gilbert,
he may be in the States.
Okay.
It's ready.
Well done, really
Jealously doesn't suit you, Khalil.
-Me, jealous?
Of what? Your mother handing you everything?
Is this some kind of game
where you can't ask for help
and you need to do everything alone?
No, it's the kind of game where you can't
reveal details of a covert investigation
to people outside the DA's office.
Oh, come on, Khalil.
Give me a break. It's my Mom, okay?
She's a lawyer. She won't do anything.
And if Gilbert hires her to represent him,
will she turn him down?
She's a criminal defense attorney.
Khalil, enough. You're reaching.
I'm reaching?
Where are you going?
We have to tell Marcelle we're done.
No, she said when we're done
we can just give it to Bar On.
Are you going to Bar On?
Do you need me to go with you?
-Why?
So you can steal my credit?
Excuse me?
I know he asked you to be his intern.
Why didn't you tell me?
it didn't seem relevant.
Not relevant? Wow.
it didn't seem relevant
because I don't plan to accept.
After everything that's happened,
I think he's immoral.
Oh, the righteousness.
Khalil, you will not accept
or reject a position
because of something he did to me, okay?
This entire complaint was just a ploy
to neutralize me.
Don't think I don't know.
Ya'ara.
Come in.
I prepared three scenarios
for Gilbert's extradition requests,
all focusing on Israel as the natural forum.
Thank you. Leave it there.
Anything else?
Yes. I understand there's an opening
for a DA intern.
I'd like to submit my candidacy.
You want to be my intern?
I want to be the DA's intern, yes.
I think you know I'm right for the job.
I don't think that's a good idea.
Are you punishing me?
This conversation is getting personal.
Unfortunately,
you're not my first choice.
If that doesn't work for you, you're welcome
to look for another department.
I'm not going anywhere.
it's done.
It's your house. Why are you knocking?
Food's not ready yet.
I'm sorry. I must have the wrong door.
Hello, Mrs. Ben David. I'm Kobi.
We met at the hospital,
after Marcelle was admitted.
Yes, I remember.
is she here?
She... She's at work. Please, come in.
She'll be back any minute.
She left you here, in her home?
She'll be back in a few minutes.
Does she know you're coming?
No. I tried calling her.
We were in the area. We had some..
Can you give her this, please? I need to go.
There's no parking here
and my husband is waiting in the car.
Hello?
Is that why you didn't
come home this weekend?
What's going on, Mom?
I thought you didn't come
because of the fight with your sister.
I told you I'm busy with work.
I'll come next week.
Marcelle, what are you doing
with a strange, divorced man?
Is that how we raised you,
to settle for second rate?
What are you talking about?
Shit.
I'm not living with any man, Mom.
It's work-related.
Don't lie to me, Marcelle. Don’t lie.
I saw him at your house, cooking.
Mom, I'm not lying to you.
I can't talk right now.
Why would you go with a divorced man?
You're beautiful, educated.
What's missing for you?
Leave me alone.
I have enough on my plate!
Fuck.
Hello. I'm Marcelle Ben David,
from the DA's office.
I remember you from last time.
When was the last time you spoke
with your partner, Gilbert Atias?
When he called me from Malta.
And you haven't heard from him since?
No messages, Facebook, texts?
So you don't mind
if we check your phone to make sure?
What?
-Do you mind if we check your phone?
But my son.
left him with a neighbor he doesn't know.
Look, Natalie. I can have you arrested.
I can ask for a warrant
and stick you in here for 24 hours.
Instead I'm offering you
a chance to cooperate.
If you have nothing to hide,
then what's the problem?
I have nothing to hide.
I'll take a lie detector test if you want.
I don't need a lie detector test.
I need your phone.
Will I get it back?
When?
Depends on what we find on it.
Marcelle, you don't have a warrant.
She consented. I don't need a warrant.
And why are you showing it to me?
i can't tell you how I know,
but before Yerushalmi was murdered
she received two phone calls
from a hotel in California.
Santa Monica.
The exact same number called Natalie Kahlfon.
How do you know this?
it's irrelevant. We can't use it.
So what do you want to do?
Do have a way of whitewashing this info?
I can try through the international division,
but it'll take a few days.
Never mind. I'll manage.
Where are you going?
Better you don't know.
-Marcelle,
do me a favor. No funny business.
Don't worry.
Excuse me, can I ask for a favor?
I lost my phone
and I need to call my brother.
Can I use your phone?
Yeah, sure.
-Thank you.
Yes.
-Meir, where are you?
What's this number?
Where are you calling from?
The police took my phone.
What are you doing with the police?
Meir, tell me the truth.
Where are you? Where's Gilbert?
Told you, I'm with the Ministry delegation.
I'll be back tomorrow.
Meir, please. I need to know the truth.
What's going on?
Don't call me again, you hear me?
From anywhere.
Take Ori and go to Mom's house.
Don't leave, don't do anything
until I get there.
You understand what I'm saying?
Yes. I understand.
Thanks.
Sorry I couldn't make it.
This day got out of hand.
It's fine. What happened with your mom?
Forget it. Don't ask.
Honestly, I...
I'm glad it happened.
-Glad? About what?
Okay.
We'll talk when you get here.
What's with you? What are you talking about?
Can you shut up? I can't concentrate.
Always on the phone, talking your ass off.
Who's that?
-Just some pest.
I'll tell you tonight. Gotta go. Bye.
Bingo.
-Did you find it?
What's so funny?
Six rooms were booked
at the Casa del Mar hotel
for an official delegation
of the Ministry of Public Security.
How many people do you think
there are in this delegation?
An official delegation,
paid for with our tax money? -Well?
One. One guest for six rooms.
Enough with this quiz show. Who is it?
is it Gilbert?
You're spoiling my fun.
The only member of this official delegation
is the Minister's consultant,
Meir Khalfon. Do you know him?
Come in, it's open.
Finally
If I had to reheat this one more time
we'd be eating coal.
Yaakov Vaknin?
-Yes?
You're suspected of a motive arson
at a police facility.
What? Arson?
You're under arrest.
You need to come with us to the station.
I'm under house arrest.
I'm wearing an ankle bracelet.
How can I be suspected of arson?
-Don't know how,
but now you're coming with us.
Stop it. I'm coming.
You're telling me you didn't know
Bergman was under surveillance?
The prosecutor in charge of the case
is advocate Ben David.
I don't understand how you let
that mental patient
handle another case against my client.
Kaminsky...
A prosecutor with ulterior motives
is dangerous!
What ulterior motives do you think I have,
advocate Kaminsky?
Honestly, I don't know why
you're harassing us.
Your client is a suspect in a new case.
There's a covert investigation underway.
It's not the mortgages or Kinor David.
A new suspicion. Very serious.
A new suspicion? What new suspicion?
Accessory to murder.
Murder?
Whose murder, exactly?
With all due respect, friends,
you've lost it completely.
You're out of line.
We're not charging him with anything, yet.
You're delusional.
Marcelle, you're just delusional.
One of us is definitely wrong, Kaminsky.
it'll be fun to find out who.
I don't understand this tactic
Why on earth would you tell him
about the murder now?
What's this?
It's Natalie Khalfon's phone.
It contains definitive evidence
that Yerushalmi was murdered by her brother,
Meir Khalfon, who's friends with Bergman
and also works
for the Ministry of Public Security.
You got all that from the phone?
I'll explain everything later,
but the most important thing right now
is to issue a covert arrest warrant
against Khalfon.
In an hour he'll be boarding a plane
from LA to Tel Aviv
and we need to arrest him
as soon as he lands.
compared to what Bergman has been
pulling at the bank, you hear?
Get to the embassy in Buenos Aires,
hand in your passports.
Turn yourselves in,
say your lives are in danger.
They have to protect you.
She's willing to come back
and testify against them all.
Bergman, everything.
I hoped it wouldn't come to this,
but we need you to join the delegation.
It's okay. I thought this might happen.
Have a good flight.
Look into a case called "Kinor David".
If you know something
about Nahmias being corrupt,
why don't you go public?
What have you got to lose?
There's always something to lose.
What are you doing here, collaborator?
You're the only one I know
who can hack into government systems.
Here are the owners' names.
Maybe one of them will interest you.
Bergman.
Can you send an email for me
using an untraceable address?
Kinor David was built
by entrepreneur Yigal Nahmias,
Bergman received a gift
of a penthouse apartment
in the project,
worth millions of shekels.
You decided to clear your conscience
at my expense?
t wasn't me.
Your righteousness is patheti
I swear, it didn't come from me.
Of all the women I had,
she's the only one I miss.
My client has a close friend, a prosecutor,
who is willing to vouch for him
in her apartment in Tel Aviv.
You?
-Yes, Your Honor.
You?
es, our Honor.
I'd like to help you file a complaint.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm talking about how
Elisha Bar On sexually assaulted you
while abusing his position over you.
It didn't happen.
Now that he DA,
I'll need an intern with me at all times.
I don't really know what to say.
-Think about it.
But I won't be able to keep
both of you with me.
Cohen, can you hear me?
We couldn't make it to the embassy.
They were waiting for us.
They got Yoel.
Margalit was a public servant
in the truest sense of the word.
A woman of principals and thought,
dedication and courage.
She was known for her professionalism
by her colleagues at the DA's office
as well as the hundreds of students
she taught throughout the years,
here at the Open University, her second home.
In death she elected
to donate her body to science,
a noble, altruistic and unique choice,
and a painfully indicative one.
All we can do now
is to lower our heads in thanks, Margalit,
as your colleagues, students and even...
Is there no end to the hypocrisy?
No end to hypocrisy, Elisha?
-Like... Like...
Please, Meri.
-No limit to your hypocrisy?
You all hated her.
Every single one, and you especially.
And all those used tea bags
that she used to leave everywhere...
-Meri, enough.
Meri, this isn't...
-Don't stop me!
You want to talk about Margalit? -
Let's talk about Margalit.
I knew her better than all of you. -
Here, a eulogy. Let's go.
-Meri... -Here you go.
Margalit was a small woman.
Meri, there's no need...
A self-righteous, bothersome bureaucrat
who was a thorn
in everybody's side. That's what she was.
For crying out loud, last respects.
-Ungrateful.
Last respects? RestJn peace, Margalit.
Meri, enough.
What?
It's moments like these that make me question
the choices I've made.
You know, when I was younger I thought
that a dignified legal career,
which I've always considered a calling,
was so much more satisfying and important
than marriage or family.
Anyone can have a child
I remember I once said to my mother,
who only wanted a grandchild.
And in these moments I wonder
what I will leave behind
I wish she could have known you.
My mother.
She would've liked you.
You've done something
I wanted to do my whole life,
but never dared to do.
I couldn't do it, and you did.
Fat lot of good it did me.
Yerushalmi's been murdered.
Yes, I heard.
She was murdered because of me.
And I think Margalit died because of me, too.
Marcelle, Margalit's death
had nothing to do with you.
The poor thing was at death's door for years.
I tried to get her to talk.
Her and Yerushalmi.
Marcelle, you're on the right side.
You have to believe that.
You have to believe you're in the right.
Hello.
-Hello, Your Honor.
Unfortunate circumstances,
but congratulations on your appointment.
I don't envy you, by the way.
When you clean house you stir up a lot of...
dust.
Thank you, Your Honor.
The task force has updates.
Nati is waiting for us in the office, okay?
Yes, I'll be right there.
Excuse me, Your Honor.
-Yes.
Elisha, can I get a ride back to the office?
Yes, of ourse.
-Thanks.
Thanks.
Are you home?
I'm meeting Kobi at your place.
No. I have a meeting with the task force.
What's ring on? Any news from Argentina?
I can't give you an update, Cohen.
You know that.
Goddammit, Marcelle. Goddammit.
We got Rachel killed
and you're talking to me about protocol?
What do you want from me?
What do you expect me to say?
And over the phone, no less.
Rachel's daughter has been trying
to reach me since yesterday.
What can I say, that I was
the last one to talk to her mother?
That I brought her to Buenos Aires
to expose herself?
Cohen, I remind you we're on the phone.
Whoever's listening has already murdered her.
Do you think it's a coincidence
she was killed before our eyes?
Someone's trying to send us a message.
What
don't know, but it on us.
Know that. Its on both of us.
Okay, go see Kobi. We'll talk.
I was waiting for you.
Well, are you satisfied?
Walking around with that justice warrior face
when all you really care about
is your own ass.
I'm not after you, Meri.
-You're not after me?
You're not after me? You're kidding.
From the first moment you entered that room
that was your only goal,
to bury me.
Is that why he sent you here?
Don't get it wrong, sweetheart,
you're not the issue here.
You're just a puppet.
And don't think he's a saint.
But by the time you'll figure that out,
it'll be too late.
There's a total match
between the DNA at the scene
and Gilbert's data. It's conclusive.
On the other hand, we have no formal record
that he was in Argentina at the time
of the murder.
When it comes to a conman of his stature,
that's irrelevant.
want him tried in Israel.
Marcelle, you with us?
It's too easy.
The evidence is laid out so neatly.
The DNA conveniently matches
the info from the French database.
Even his hat is tossed on the sidewalk
in case we miss it.
Who murders like that?
Marcelle's right.
It's too organized.
It's Bergman.
We should charge him with murder.
Bergman again?
What are you basing this on?
Listen, I know I sound obsessive,
but during the talk with Yerushalmi
she talked of major corruption at the bank
arid specifically mentioned Bergman
rather than Gilbert.
Why isn't that on the recording?
It was during the first conversation,
the one we didn't record.
I'm with her.
Bergman is a bigger bastard than he lets on.
What will you arrest him for?
Conspiracy to murder?
Come on. It'll spark one hell of a riot.
The press is breathing down
our necks as it is.
Okay, we'll have to hold off on his arrest
until was have something more concrete.
No way Elisha
There's no way he can walk away from this!
Let's wiretap him. Anything.
Wiretapping requires the approval
of the Attorney General,
or we can't use it.
Put him under surveillance.
Nati, get on it. See where it goes.
I tell you, I was in the lab,
they dismantled my phone to pieces
and found no chips or bugs.
You don't need a chip nowadays, Cohen.
Someone can just take over your phone
and turn it into a tracking device
within seconds.
Can you do it?
-Me?
You're kidding. I can barely text.
Okay, listen.
I went to see Eini this morning
to sort out your visitation rights.
Well?
Orit won't let them come-here
under any circumstances.
She insists the meetings take place
at the social worker's office.
What's her problem?
Why does she have it in for you?
Why? Because of Marcelle.
She thinks something's going on between you.
Is it true, Kobi?
I would never cheat on my wife.
I don't break up families.
She's the one who got up and left.
Orit up and left.
Bless you, Kobi, but your taste in women...
Each one more pathetic than the other.
Marcelle isn't patheti
So you are together?
I already told you we weren't.
Am I ever getting that coffee?
-Hold on.
The legal question is,
who has precedence in Gilbert's extradition?
In Israel and Argentina,
he's wanted for Yerushalmi's murder.
In France and Belgium
there are a lots of convictions against him
but they're all theft and fraud.
So what do you want us to do?
Request an extradition from where?
We don't even know where he'll be caught.
Prepare two options,
one for country with an extradition treaty
and one for a country without.
The most important thing right now
is the legal argument, okay?
Why try him here, of all places?
Can I count on you to handle it?
-Sure.
What's up, Kobi?
-Fine, and you?
Don't know.
When a day starts with a funeral,
how can it possibly end?
Why don't you come home
and I’ll make some lunch?
I wish. No time.
Why put me in house arrest
if you're never here?
I'll tell the probation officer.
Fine. What are you making?
Son of a bitch. That's some life.
Private fitness instructor
that looks like a Victoria's Secret model.
Just find out if she's giving him anything.
I hope she does.
Especially bodily fluids.
Gross.
Elmakayes, how can you stand him?
Maybe we can use Rosenstein as a precedent?
it's not the same.
Because he'd already been convicted?
-Because it was the United States.
They haven't caught him yet.
We don't know who it'll be.
it won't be the States.
Why not? If the murder happened
in South America,
doesn't it make sense for him
to cross the border?
Khalil, quit playing, okay?
Neither one of us knows what to do,
and there's no precedent to help us.
So what do you want to do,
call Marcelle and tell her we have nothing?
Hold on.
The center of...
The center of gravity doctrine?
Is that what it's called?
I'll go get Zuckerman's notes.
No, don't go.
-There are notes... -Hold on a second.
What are you doing? Calling Marcelle?
Mommy, how are you?
Do you have a moment?
Can I ask you something?
I'm writing some arguments for extraditing
a murder suspect... -You can't.
Who's wanted in Israel, America and Europe.
What are you doing?
-We want him to be tried here.
Oh, of course.
Yeah, I thought of that. Center of gravity.
Of course. Thanks, Mommy. You're the best.
Not bad.
it's like CSI Ramla in here.
Overexcited, are we?
Don't be a bitch.
It helps me sort out my thoughts.
Where's the evidence?
The green folder.
Anything new? Interesting?
You hear me, Yaron? Anything new?
He just walked into the bank.
Do we have a wire inside,
in his office or something?
No. We're not cleared for wiretapping yet.
Nati, it's all crap.
This surveillance is worthless
without a wire.
What do you want me to do?
There's a new DA and he wants
to do things by the book.
After Nahmias, I can't blame him.
Bergman can do whatever he wants
and we'll never know.
The man is a VP at the bank.
He's under no restrictions.
He could sell the bank if he wanted to.
Everything to do with the bank
belongs to the Securities Authority anyway.
Nati, check out the security footage.
Look who's visiting the bank.
But Kaminsky belongs to us, no?
Yes. Yes.
Okay, Michael. I can't talk right now.
Look into that thing we discussed,
okay? Yeah. Bye.
Have a seat. Good to see you. Coffee?
No, thanks.
What happened? Was there a call
from the police or the DA's office?
No Why?
You told me it was urgent.
oh...
No, I need you to handle some things for me.
Now that they've got their eye on me
I wanted to make sure they don't start
asking questions again.
We have a few properties,
inherited from my wife's parents,
which are currently up for sale.
I need someone to handle the details,
that's all.
We'll open up a trust account for you
and the payment can go there.
Why do you need a trust account?
MY wife is trying to sell
her parents' apartment in Givtayim
There's also a store there
that's under their name.
Listen, real estate isn't really my field.
I'd rather not...
not get into it.
But I have an excellent colleague,
he'll do a great job.
There's nothing to get into.
The contract is signed.
It's just procedure.
There isn't even any paperwork.
It's not...
-Hey!
I'm counting on you.
You're the one I want.
And you'll get a nice fee.
What's the standard in real estate?
Five percent?
You'll get ten.
Okay.
Okay, head over to Lital in personal banking,
I'll have her open the account for you.
What's Kaminsky doing there?
What are they up to?
Maybe they're preparing for his arrest.
That's not what Kaminsky should be thinking.
He's not supposed to know we're onto him
Yeah.
Collaborator,
I think I found what you're looking for.
I'll be there in 20 minutes.
-Hurry up.
Yes, im coming. 20 minutes. Bye.
Nati, I have to go,
something urgent came up.
Keep me posted, okay?
Bye.
What's gojng.on?
Are they giving you any trouble
with the account?
No, that went smoothly. But...
Have you noticed a brown Hyndai
following you around?
I think you're being tailed.
Bastards-
Can they even do that?
What's going on? Is this a police state'
Calm down, Ophir.
Have your secretary bring them
some coffee and cookies.
use this to our advantage.
been waiting for ages.
Quickly. I'm not in the mood
for your crap today.
Come see something nice.
What's that?
Phone records from
Yerushalmi's mobile in Argentina.
manage to trace the line
she used to call you.
Both times.
-Are you serious?
What are those Israeli numbers?
Did you check them?
No, I was waiting for you.
Of course I checked them. All family.
Her daughter and sister.
And what are those?
Are those incoming or outgoing?
All outgoing.
The entire time she had this phone
there were only two incoming calls,
and they both took place
on the day before the murder
from the same hotel in California.
Casa del Mar in Santa Monica.
So the bottom line is,
whoever stayed at that hotel
was either her operator or her killer,
or both.
Now she gets it.
That's just what I've been trying to do,
get a list of the hotel guests
on those dates,
when the calls took place.
How much will it cost me this time?
Let's see what I find first.
Is that a new system? Retroactive pricing?
Whatever you find now,
I'll have to take to the police.
So it'll cost you more.
-Fine.
Make sure I can use it.
What's up, Nati?
Okay.
I need you to bring in
Natalie Khalfon for questioning.
If it really is Gilbert,
he may be in the States.
Okay.
It's ready.
Well done, really
Jealously doesn't suit you, Khalil.
-Me, jealous?
Of what? Your mother handing you everything?
Is this some kind of game
where you can't ask for help
and you need to do everything alone?
No, it's the kind of game where you can't
reveal details of a covert investigation
to people outside the DA's office.
Oh, come on, Khalil.
Give me a break. It's my Mom, okay?
She's a lawyer. She won't do anything.
And if Gilbert hires her to represent him,
will she turn him down?
She's a criminal defense attorney.
Khalil, enough. You're reaching.
I'm reaching?
Where are you going?
We have to tell Marcelle we're done.
No, she said when we're done
we can just give it to Bar On.
Are you going to Bar On?
Do you need me to go with you?
-Why?
So you can steal my credit?
Excuse me?
I know he asked you to be his intern.
Why didn't you tell me?
it didn't seem relevant.
Not relevant? Wow.
it didn't seem relevant
because I don't plan to accept.
After everything that's happened,
I think he's immoral.
Oh, the righteousness.
Khalil, you will not accept
or reject a position
because of something he did to me, okay?
This entire complaint was just a ploy
to neutralize me.
Don't think I don't know.
Ya'ara.
Come in.
I prepared three scenarios
for Gilbert's extradition requests,
all focusing on Israel as the natural forum.
Thank you. Leave it there.
Anything else?
Yes. I understand there's an opening
for a DA intern.
I'd like to submit my candidacy.
You want to be my intern?
I want to be the DA's intern, yes.
I think you know I'm right for the job.
I don't think that's a good idea.
Are you punishing me?
This conversation is getting personal.
Unfortunately,
you're not my first choice.
If that doesn't work for you, you're welcome
to look for another department.
I'm not going anywhere.
it's done.
It's your house. Why are you knocking?
Food's not ready yet.
I'm sorry. I must have the wrong door.
Hello, Mrs. Ben David. I'm Kobi.
We met at the hospital,
after Marcelle was admitted.
Yes, I remember.
is she here?
She... She's at work. Please, come in.
She'll be back any minute.
She left you here, in her home?
She'll be back in a few minutes.
Does she know you're coming?
No. I tried calling her.
We were in the area. We had some..
Can you give her this, please? I need to go.
There's no parking here
and my husband is waiting in the car.
Hello?
Is that why you didn't
come home this weekend?
What's going on, Mom?
I thought you didn't come
because of the fight with your sister.
I told you I'm busy with work.
I'll come next week.
Marcelle, what are you doing
with a strange, divorced man?
Is that how we raised you,
to settle for second rate?
What are you talking about?
Shit.
I'm not living with any man, Mom.
It's work-related.
Don't lie to me, Marcelle. Don’t lie.
I saw him at your house, cooking.
Mom, I'm not lying to you.
I can't talk right now.
Why would you go with a divorced man?
You're beautiful, educated.
What's missing for you?
Leave me alone.
I have enough on my plate!
Fuck.
Hello. I'm Marcelle Ben David,
from the DA's office.
I remember you from last time.
When was the last time you spoke
with your partner, Gilbert Atias?
When he called me from Malta.
And you haven't heard from him since?
No messages, Facebook, texts?
So you don't mind
if we check your phone to make sure?
What?
-Do you mind if we check your phone?
But my son.
left him with a neighbor he doesn't know.
Look, Natalie. I can have you arrested.
I can ask for a warrant
and stick you in here for 24 hours.
Instead I'm offering you
a chance to cooperate.
If you have nothing to hide,
then what's the problem?
I have nothing to hide.
I'll take a lie detector test if you want.
I don't need a lie detector test.
I need your phone.
Will I get it back?
When?
Depends on what we find on it.
Marcelle, you don't have a warrant.
She consented. I don't need a warrant.
And why are you showing it to me?
i can't tell you how I know,
but before Yerushalmi was murdered
she received two phone calls
from a hotel in California.
Santa Monica.
The exact same number called Natalie Kahlfon.
How do you know this?
it's irrelevant. We can't use it.
So what do you want to do?
Do have a way of whitewashing this info?
I can try through the international division,
but it'll take a few days.
Never mind. I'll manage.
Where are you going?
Better you don't know.
-Marcelle,
do me a favor. No funny business.
Don't worry.
Excuse me, can I ask for a favor?
I lost my phone
and I need to call my brother.
Can I use your phone?
Yeah, sure.
-Thank you.
Yes.
-Meir, where are you?
What's this number?
Where are you calling from?
The police took my phone.
What are you doing with the police?
Meir, tell me the truth.
Where are you? Where's Gilbert?
Told you, I'm with the Ministry delegation.
I'll be back tomorrow.
Meir, please. I need to know the truth.
What's going on?
Don't call me again, you hear me?
From anywhere.
Take Ori and go to Mom's house.
Don't leave, don't do anything
until I get there.
You understand what I'm saying?
Yes. I understand.
Thanks.
Sorry I couldn't make it.
This day got out of hand.
It's fine. What happened with your mom?
Forget it. Don't ask.
Honestly, I...
I'm glad it happened.
-Glad? About what?
Okay.
We'll talk when you get here.
What's with you? What are you talking about?
Can you shut up? I can't concentrate.
Always on the phone, talking your ass off.
Who's that?
-Just some pest.
I'll tell you tonight. Gotta go. Bye.
Bingo.
-Did you find it?
What's so funny?
Six rooms were booked
at the Casa del Mar hotel
for an official delegation
of the Ministry of Public Security.
How many people do you think
there are in this delegation?
An official delegation,
paid for with our tax money? -Well?
One. One guest for six rooms.
Enough with this quiz show. Who is it?
is it Gilbert?
You're spoiling my fun.
The only member of this official delegation
is the Minister's consultant,
Meir Khalfon. Do you know him?
Come in, it's open.
Finally
If I had to reheat this one more time
we'd be eating coal.
Yaakov Vaknin?
-Yes?
You're suspected of a motive arson
at a police facility.
What? Arson?
You're under arrest.
You need to come with us to the station.
I'm under house arrest.
I'm wearing an ankle bracelet.
How can I be suspected of arson?
-Don't know how,
but now you're coming with us.
Stop it. I'm coming.
You're telling me you didn't know
Bergman was under surveillance?
The prosecutor in charge of the case
is advocate Ben David.
I don't understand how you let
that mental patient
handle another case against my client.
Kaminsky...
A prosecutor with ulterior motives
is dangerous!
What ulterior motives do you think I have,
advocate Kaminsky?
Honestly, I don't know why
you're harassing us.
Your client is a suspect in a new case.
There's a covert investigation underway.
It's not the mortgages or Kinor David.
A new suspicion. Very serious.
A new suspicion? What new suspicion?
Accessory to murder.
Murder?
Whose murder, exactly?
With all due respect, friends,
you've lost it completely.
You're out of line.
We're not charging him with anything, yet.
You're delusional.
Marcelle, you're just delusional.
One of us is definitely wrong, Kaminsky.
it'll be fun to find out who.
I don't understand this tactic
Why on earth would you tell him
about the murder now?
What's this?
It's Natalie Khalfon's phone.
It contains definitive evidence
that Yerushalmi was murdered by her brother,
Meir Khalfon, who's friends with Bergman
and also works
for the Ministry of Public Security.
You got all that from the phone?
I'll explain everything later,
but the most important thing right now
is to issue a covert arrest warrant
against Khalfon.
In an hour he'll be boarding a plane
from LA to Tel Aviv
and we need to arrest him
as soon as he lands.
