The Gordin Cell (2012–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Episode #1.3 - full transcript

You smoke too much, dear.

OK. -No cigarettes. It
distracts you

OK

Do we have any progress with Itai?
-Ophir. Ophir Ridder.

What else do we know about him?

He's got lousy taste in music.
-Why?

I think Eyal Golan [Oriental Music]
is very nice.

And a sister who died of cancer.
-So I guess you'll use the sister?

But you didn't come for this, Yasha.

What... what's the plan
with Ridder?

You're going to meet him?



Maybe tomorrow.

You want to do a general rehearsal?
-No.

You're the one who told me
it's best to improvise, Yasha.

I told you it's best to start an
operation 100% ready

and then you can
improvise.

So improvise with me,
Yasha. OK?

Let's say

that I'm little orphan Natalya

and you're the cruel
orphanage headmaster

Good night, dear.

Shall we start?

Hi.

I just left her.

She's OK.



Cyclosporin isn't supposed to cause
nausea, but it does.

I gave her Phenergan
and grapefruit juice.

No, she smiled.

No, not at all.

I like sleeping by her.

No, no, as long as she's in Meir (Hospital),
I'm sleeping by her.

There's a couch there.

I so much want this
to be over.

I'm so alone with this thing, and I
have no one to talk to, you see?

No, the doctors and nurses,
they're busy with their own things.

Why should my mother and me
disturb them

No, I love her so much.

Listen, I'll speak with you
later, OK?

No, after work.
Bye.

You're OK?

It's new.
-Thanks.

I don't want to stick
my nose, it's just..

You know, it's quiet here.

Thanks.

Can you not look at me for a second?
I probably look like a monster.

You started chemo already?

Are you a doctor?

No, not at all.
I wish.

I'm familiar with it
from the other side.

So you understand.

Most in the world.

One time I stayed to sleep
by my sister.

I get up in the middle of the
night, with a stiff neck.

My entire body.
I'm dying from pain.

I said, "OK, I'll use
the bed".

On the bed in the room?
-Yes, next to her. -No.

So in the morning I..

You know, I start waking up.
I hear a lot of noise around.

People and such.
I open my eyes.

I see this Prof. Kramer standing
there with 10 interns.

All the students are looking
at him, and then he tells them.

"You see? This is what
a healthy man looks like."

"Come on, get up, go to work."
Screwed up that guy.

-At least he brought you coffee?
-"Next stop"

"Tel Aviv University.
Convention Center."

OK, I get off here.
-Ah, OK.

And.. -I get off at "Shalom" station.
My car's there.

Be strong, it's important.
-Thanks. -Gladly.

And if you feel like calling or want
me to call. Whatever you want.

Ophir, everything's so
complicated by me now.

No, no, I didn't mean that. Really.

I just meant if you need
somebody to listen or something.

I just feel I'm such a burdensome
person recently, that..

I just don't want to drag you
into this again.

But thanks.

It's really cute of you.

Good.

Good luck to you both, really.

and it's possible to win.

Thanks. Bye.
-Bye.

Good morning.
-Hi.

What's this, when did you
have time? -Last night.

You dropped me off at the train
and came back here?

Let's go over potentials.

254 families.

You don't prefer waiting for Wissotzky
to decipher the encryptions?

Let's review the map,
five street radius.

What are we looking for?
-What we always look for.

Russians.

Hi, what's happening?

Boring.

How's the office?

Boring.

You've had enough excitement
in life, right?

Yes, Dad. I've had enough
excitement in life.

You're making fish.
-Yes.

Aren't you tired of it?

Fish, fish.

Alec. Cup.

I'm going to shower.

Dad, keep some for me.

You see? Here he disconnected
his cell for an hour.

It was turned on again
3km north-east from here.

It's a huge radius.

What does he have here?
Another elimination target?

Maybe. Maybe a mistress.
Maybe shopping.

Maybe he lives here.

Somebody lives here.

You're not doing
anything tonight?

You don't want to know.

Where are you going? -I'm going to see
the game with friends.

Where? -I don't know.
A bar.

But I made fish.

Save me a piece. And don't let
her die from boredom.

I'll come back late.

Bye.
-Wait.

Wait.

Here, from all of us.

What is it?

Open.

Open.

You're nuts. For what?

We're not allowed to
pamper you?

Well, for the new job, recuperation,
our love. We don't have enough reasons?

"Everything will be OK.
This is what the world is built on."

What is this?

What is this?

Bulgakov.
"The Master and Margarita".

[Russian:] Thanks, grandma.
-You're welcome, it wasn't me.

Your parents cooked this
up all on their own.

Thanks, Dad.

Drive carefully.

Love it. Thanks.

Bye.

You follow him.
I'll meet Yasha.

Couple of idiots.
-You're with me.

Mom, straight here?

What operational activity do you think

he'll discuss in a bar with his friends?

Mom, straight here?
-Yes.

Beit Elazari Moshav [village]

Beit Elazari. A religious Moshav.

Well, so? -What 'so'? Since when does
he have religious friends?

That Yonatan is religious.
-Mom, knitted kippah [modern religious].

It doesn't look like a bar.

Reception's good.

She shouldn't have pulled that trick.

Don't blame her.. -Misha,
I expect you to restrain her.

You're the more careful one.

You know you can rely on me.
Here, this is from his military computer.

What's the password?
-Give me a day or two.

I don't have a day or two.

Yasha.. -Never mind,
the department in Moscow will manage.

So, how are you guys?
-You know,

Starting to feel the energies of the
olden days coming back.

Don't worry. We'll manage.

OK, I've got the first
mission for you.

There's a chair in the Air Force Commander's
room. I need pictures.

A chair? -A chair. The one
closest to the window.

The General's chair? -Not the General's
chair. The one across from it.

I need a full photo of the chair.

I repeat, high definition photo.
Not with a cellular phone.

You're joking? How will
we photograph there?

I have no idea. You volunteered
to replace your son, right?

So what, you're punishing us?

If I was punishing you,
Misha, you'd know.

So that's the mission.

A chair.

A photograph.

Top priority.

Of course, if you can't do it,
tell me.

I'll help you.

A nice girl, Tamar.
-Quiet, you're bothering me.

Not stupid.

I talked to her a few
times in the hospital.

Goes to university. Entomology.

You know what's entomology?
-The study of insects.

I wonder where's Yonatan,
her fianc?.

If you don't me asking,
have you lost your marbles?

Take out the ear bud, I
want to listen too.

It's so quiet here. Everybody's
watching the game, or what?

No.

It's always like this.
A graveyard.

You don't like living here?

It's OK.

I'd go nuts here.

Eyal, say what you've
come to say already.

What did I come to say?

That we got carried away.
That you apologize.

That it won't ever happen again.

That maybe we should forget
it all happened. Right?

Sort of, yes.

I'm sorry, it was all
my fault.

It wasn't your fault.
It was our fault.

Come on, don't make yourself
the saint here.

You're just making me the whore.

I don't want to be there.
-No, saint, not at all.

It started a lot before this,
in the ward.

You think I
didn't feel it?

Thoughts are one thing. There are things
I can't control.

More than you think.

They've been quiet for
a long time.

If she was studying astronomy,

I would have said they're
watching the stars.

On the other hand, maybe they're
studying an interesting beetle.

And they're examining it.
Entomology.

Say, are you torturing
me on purpose?

You can't smoke now.

I didn't mean it.

[Russian:] I brought food and drink.
-I'm coming, I'm coming.

From where, the Turk? -Yes,
you won't believe the queue there.

I tell you, that man's
making millions.

Burek, hard boiled eggs

and vodka.

We're in the middle of work.

-Peter, in the
Russian Section, act like a Russian.

Even though you're Bulgarian.

Cheers.
-Cheers.

"May it stand and have money".
-What's that?

That your what's its name stand
and you'll have money.

I could use the help
on both counts.

Not that I have problem
with what's its name...

-Where's the hot
sauce? Do we have tools?

Just between us, Peter. This job
of ours is a problem, isn't it?

How do you have time?

For what?

You know. Girls, things,
relationships.

You're asking me?
-Yes. Why not?

Open up a bit,
what happened?

I know you've been married.

Your wife didn't accept
you burning up the midnight oil here?

Which one?
-What do you mean?

I was married three time.
-No, really.

Three times? -Ophir, if you're
not working, at least don't bother me.

Shut it.
-No.

We have to listen
continuously.

Otherwise Yasha will
ask why we stopped it.

You're punishing yourself for nothing.
-His best friend's fianc?e?

Yes, the kid's not perfect.
Nobody's perfect.

The sooner you understand that.
The easier it will be for you.

Yasha, close the door.
-Honey, I need some air.

You want air.
Go outside.

Love, come on.

I'm tired of the noise of the common
folk. I'm tired of this country.

And frankly, Yasha, I'm
tired of you too.

There's something I
need to tell you.

About Mayfadoun, about Yonatan.
-Not now.

I didn't deserve that commendation.

Mayfadoun was a terrible screw-up.
My screw-up.

What are they saying?

When they gave me a polygraph,
they asked if I had anything to hide.

I said "no".
I passed.

I have no idea how.

Like some idiot who believes
his own lies. -What lies?

I didn't mean to let it all
develop like that. I just..

I couldn't find the right moment to stop.
And..

Just a sec.
Who can it be at this hour?

Hello.
Gordin? -Yes.

This is Revital from the
office. I wanted to update

you that the Executive Assistant
has been hospitalized.

He's in critical care
at Ichilov hospital.

What? Doesn't he have the flu
or something? -It turned worse.

Thanks.
-Something happened?

Yes. I need to go.

Where are you?
-Still working.

When are you coming back?

The Executive Assistant is hospitalized.
Misha, they're planning something.

OK, it's not important now.
I met him.

He's demanding the impossible.
You better come.

What does he want?
-We can't do this on the phone.

He's despicable.
He's torturing us.

I know, but what choice do we have?
-Well, and what did you think?

I'm on my way. -You're on your way
to the insane asylum

Misha.

Misha, Misha, Misha.
-What?

We need to erase something from
the broadcast. -What broadcast?

Eyal's talk, before we
broadcast to Yasha.

You can't erase. -Alex gets himself
into trouble with his commendation.

We need to clean the file before he
encrypts it. I'll show you where.

Diana, the commendation doesn't
interest them. Leave it.

If we start erasing sections, we'll get
into trouble, and they'll go for the kid.

So can we erase?
-Impossible.

Hi
-Hi.

What are you doing up
at this hour?

I can ask you the same question.
Where were you?

Mom, enough with those questions.

'Where was I?'. I'm 16, that
you're sitting here waiting for me?

Sometimes you act like you're 16.
-OK, fine. Good night.

Sit with me a moment.

Yes, Mom.

What?

Alec, you worry me.

Dr. Katz said you have..
-Dr. Katz says. OK, so.

How do you feel?
-Perfectly fine.

You had a tough experience. It's natural
that you'll be in this situation.

What situation?

Post trauma.
-I'm not in any post trauma.

So what are the pills for?
-What pills?

Sorbon. Seroxat

I don't believe it. You went
through my stuff? -Alec.

I'm not just your mother.
I'm also a psychiatrist.

Why didn't you come to me? Why are you
always hiding things from me?

I thought that we..
-Good night.

What else aren't you telling me?

[Air Force Commander,
General Gideon Ram]

[General Ram is married to Orna]

[Orna Ram]

[Ocean, Health and lifestyle magazine]

[I go on a morning run every day]

[Mother of 3, and
psychology PhD student]

You're fucking unbelievable.

Every time I come here
you're going to surprise me?

Say, do you ever sleep?

It's boring to sleep.
-Stop that Tetris.

Did you know it's a Russian game,
Tetris?

It's just like them to invent something
that drives you insane.

Who are these?

They're our last five candidates.

Zamir family, Nikolai Lubachevski,
Zalmanov family.

Gordin family and Arye Yablonka.
They all fit our profile.

Now here's something else interesting.

Remember that woman from Eilat,
Tova Hayun, the old woman who died?

Yeah, sure. -Our guy used her phone
for only 8 hours.

And only to out-of-state switchboards.
You get that?

Let's say he wanted to call you
in Kfar Saba,

He first calls Vienna, and they
connect him from there.

That way we don't catch him.
OK?

OK.
Now another interesting thing.

I got all the cell calls
from around Eliko's house.

And from around the hospital.

So, there's probably
millions, right?

I looked only at those
that went abroad.

There's 600, maybe a bit more.
But see here.

You see this call?

Took place an hour after Eliko's
death, to a Canadian switchboard.

The phone's registered to
Yehoshua Erlich, from Naharia.

Died three years ago.

God, Those Russian SOBs.
You get that?

A whole network of dead people.

So now we know how they communicate.
And we have five options.

That's just the beginning.

What beginning, Peter?
This is it. The end.

We caught your Treasurer.

Why are you making faces?

You need help?

Yes. Somebody tried to help me,
but it's stuck.

Just a sec.

It's just rusty.
Hold on a sec.

Dana, please call the 8-o'clock
patient and apologize

I'm running late, yes.

For me? I'm really sorry.
-No, it's OK.

The minister's wife parental deprivations
can wait 20 minutes.

I've been hearing about
them for a year now.

Come on.

That's it?
-That's it.

Can I get a hint?

Medical confidentiality.
-Ah, sorry.

I probably sound like
a terrible busybody.

My husband's also slightly famous.

I mean, people know of him.
He's the Air Force Commander.

Gideon Ram?
-Yes.

Anything related to the IDF
is close to my heart. -Really?

I'm organizing a big fundraiser this week
for lone soldiers [on their own in Israel]

A dinner for the wealthy Jews of
St. Petersburg.

I do it once a year.
-Wow.

Way to go. Lone soldiers, that's..
-I..

I'm embarrassed to ask,

God forbid, I don't want to
exploit this incident.

But if your husband will agree
to give a taped blessing to our donors,

Very short, two sentences, it would be
so meaningful, for them and for me.

Yes.. I don't..
I don't know.. I need maybe..

I was joking.

I won't take up his time.

I'll find a politician to do it.

Gennady Petrovitch.

I'm happy to tell you.. -You want to tell
me what's happening with Zephyr and Elza?

What do you mean? I mean

that Elza was on her way to turn
herself in. Ah, Londin?

You think so little of me?
Gennady, it's really not like that.

It was an act... -So why did you
try to hide it from me?

Not at all.

I'm not your nanny. Maybe I wasn't
clear in our last meeting.

Everything here goes through me.
Everything.

I understand.

I'm sorry, Gennady Petrovitch.
-What's with the kid?

Everything's great with the kid.

I'm learning his vulnerabilities.
I'm lulling the parents.

What? Londin, are you an idiot?
Are you deaf?

What's not clear when I tell you
I've got all of Moscow on my shoulders?

What parents?

The parents are irrelevant.
You know who's your target?

Have you made direct contact
with him?

It's in process, Gennady Petrovitch.
-In process?

Listen to me well.
I gave you a chance.

And you're doing everything
you can to destroy it.

You make contact with the son, immediately.
And recruit him, immediately. Understood?

Of course. I hope the kid
won't make trouble..

If the kid makes trouble

Eliminate one of the parents.
Otherwise I'll eliminate you.

Before I'm eliminated.

Ready?
-Yes.

Let's do this from the beginning.
I think less..

Let me just.. A sec..
Three, four. Please.
