The Gordin Cell (2012–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript

After 600 meters, turn left.

After 500 meters, turn left.

Stop eating.
We're starting to work.

Here's Natalya. Good.

Join us, please.

Excuse me, Yasha, but I must say
this is against regulations.

Natalya's presence is essential for this
meeting. She's the target's sister.

Which makes the deviation from
protocol even more problematic.

It's my operational decision, Yazov.

It's my right as commander
in the field.

If you have objections about the
way I'm running the operation,



You're welcome to go, Dear.

The offer applies to all of you, of course.

Can we continue.

Good.

We've got 24 hours to
attack Grom.

To make immediate, direct
contact with the target.

and recruit him to our ranks.

This is an order from Directorate 8.
No need to add, top priority.

We'll act fast and precisely.

Dr. Yablokova, please.
-Thanks, Yaakov.

On behalf of Directorate 7,
I want to wish you

and all those present success in this
operation. -Thank you.

I'll start with general background
on the loyalty question

among 2nd
generation immigrants.



If I may, I'll present
four research approaches.

Doctor. I'm sorry, as I said,
we only have 24 hours, no more.

Can we have something more
practical, please?

Sadly, an approach on ideological grounds
is out of the question.

Grom sees himself
as completely Israeli.

Escape from Russianness is an
aggressive part of his identity.

Yes, I don't remember when I heard
Grom speak Russian.

He swears in Russian.
-Money?

Money.

In the future, it might
be an incentive.

But right now it won't bring him
over to our side.

A young man. No debts.
No obligations.

Habits. Weaknesses.

Alcohol at a reasonable level.
He knows to drink.

So they didn't cut off
everything Russian.

There's his mental situation.
-Yes?

The target is treated
with anti-depressants.

Natalya.

How will Grom respond to a threat against
his parents? -That's not the way.

Explain, please.

He's very connected to his parents.
Especially my mother.

I think a threat to her,

will make him act..

Unexpectedly?
-Exactly.

Those two are almost a couple.

Alec, when are you coming back tonight?

I'm not coming back tonight.

Where will you sleep?
-With friends.

Who are these friends of yours?
-Enough with these questions. Come on.

I'm worried about you.

It doesn't give you a right to follow me
and snoop into my life.

I'm sorry if I hurt you.

Less than a year ago I was sure
I've lost you... -Mom.

I beg you. Don't turn away
from me.

Nobody's turning away from you.

What are you going through?

It's important you speak with someone.

If you don't feel comfortable talking
to me, I can refer you to a friend.

As a professional..
-No psychologist.

And with these friends you're going to sleep
by, do you speak with them?

Do they know what you're going through?
Does anybody?

I'm not going to friends.
I'm going to Tamar.

Which Tamar?
-Tamar.

Yonatan's Tamar?

The truth?
That's the truth.

That girl is not good for you.

It's not your business.
You don't know her at all.

People are my business,
Alexander.

And I know her enough,

10 months in the hospital,
next to Yonatan's bed.

Does he, by the way,
know about this?

A girl who can cheat this way...
-Mom, shut up.

A woman who cheats, will cheat again.

She'll betray you too. It's her character.
In her blood. And it will soil you too.

I'm already soiled. Much more
thank you think.

Why are you blaming her? Do you know
her? You don't know anything.

It's me. All me. I'll the crazy
guy in this story.

It's hard for you to hear that?
Deal with it.

Police.

Stay calm.

Hi. Vehicle health check.

Good evening, Officer.
We are tourists.

Ah.. car.. car check.

Avi. Tourists in a rental.
Should I check? -Affirmative.

I need to check.
Passport, please.

Finland.
-Yes, holidays.

Shut the engine. Turn on blinkers.
Blinking.

Yes, OK. Great.
Brakes.

OK.

Open trunk.
-For what? Nothing there.

For the reserve tire.
Open, open please.

What is this?
-I have no idea, it's rental.

So what if it's a rental?

Listen, we're really in a hurry.

Please?

For me?

What do you say, Finland.
Now we're curious.

Down, down!
Avi!

Hands up!
-Down!

Control, this is 48.
I need backup now.

I've got two foreign citizens
with lots of weapons.

Lots of weapons. I repeat.
I need backup now.

At 5:30pm, the target will
get to Tel Hashomer hospital.

You can wait for him there.

We'll give you a reserve officer cover.

We don't have time to build up
friendships, Igor.

He's not looking for friendship.
He's looking for authority.

[Hebrew:] Sorry, I'm sorry, but..
-Doctor, wait a second.

Way to go.

Way to go, Natalya.
Yazov.

Do we still have the office at
Dovnov St. -Yes.

Open it for me.

Hi.
-Hi.

What do you have in Dovnov?
-What was that supposed to be? -What?

Don't play innocent, Natalya. You know
you're not supposed to be here.

I helped you, didn't I?

Thank you. It was unprofessional, not to the
point, and it won't happen again, right?

What's with the Shabak guy?

Don't worry about me.
-When are you meeting him?

Tomorrow.

Why is it taking so long,
Natalya?

You don't shut me out of this
mission, Yaakov -Wait a minute.

Yes? -We lost tactical.

How? -Your operation.
Solve it.

Gennady Petrovitch. Tomorrow
I'm busy all day with Grom...

I'll say it as clearly and
simply as possible.

You're not recruiting Eyal
without me.

Are you threatening me, Natalya?

I'm on your side, Yaakov.
-OK.

You forgot who convinced Eyal
to take the job?

This is your most important mission
in the last nine years.

Let me help you succeed.

Focus on the Shabak guy, that's all.

What aren't you dressed yet?
Why are both of you loafing around?

He'll be leaving in a minute.

I understand Eyal didn't sleep at home
last night. -You understand correctly.

I said he's leaving in a minute.
-There's time.

You stay close to him today.
The kid's not stable.

The kid isn't stable?
Look at yourself.

Thank you very much, Mother.

And just now he finds himself
a girlfriend.

Going excellently, your plan.
-She's right.

And if he decides to move
in with her?

It won't happen.
-Why?

You've got 20 minutes.
I suggest you get dressed.

Yes.
-Nati?

Sure.
-Nati?

Hold on, I'll talk to you soon.
-What's happening?

Ophir. How's it going?

Excellent. and you?

How's your mother?

It's cute of you.
But there's nothing new.

OK. That's also good, right?

She's being transferred
to Ichilov Hospital tomorrow.

My last time on this train,
Thank God.

So, what? That's it?
-That's it.

I was getting used to it.

Listen, I'd be really glad
if we talk, you know.

Or if you just want
to consult.

Sure.
-Great. -OK.

So you want to give me
your number?

Nati Ganot?
Nice.

Do you work in the area?

Right here, not far.
Prime Minister's Office.

The real one, or the one with
the cellars?

Why, do I look like the
cellar type?

I prefer not to know.

Do they give you breaks there?

Why, do you want to set a date?
Coffee, tea, chocolate milk?

When? -Four?

Afternoon tea.

I see it's the cellars
of a kindergarten.

OK, wait up. Where are you
running to?

That's the Treasurer?

I tell you, girls love
my shy face.

It's my killer app.
A modest effect.

Let's move on. Arye Yablonka.
What do we think?

You don't understand what type of girl
I started up with on the train today.

Minus 80,000 in his
bank account.

I don't think anybody's taking
care of them.

Or somebody's making sure they'd look
for somebody to take care of them.

Family abroad?

Listen, Peter. She's hot.
Really hot.

Class, chic, business woman.
Strong, weak, fun.

Too smart for me.
Everything.

And all that based on 10
minutes on the train?

Gut instinct.

Come on. Bruce Zamir.
What do we have on him?

Made Aliyah [immigrated] to Israel alone.
Hid a criminal record in Novorossiysk.

Come on. Check the cross
sections on him.

Banks, accounts, loans,
social security, employers.

I'll just remind you now, that at 4pm
I'm taking a break for tea.

What happened, you're the Queen
of England now?

You're coming to see the prisoners?
European Hezbollah.

Maybe later.
-Maybe later?!

Peter, you know what they
found on these Finns?

Laser flashlight. Burns
you from your eyebrows

to your ass in half a
second. Science fiction.

Finns? You mean,
they're from Finland?

Great, right? It's like,
you don't need a fake passport.

You've got a fake country.

And you're sure it's Hezbollah?

Come, Peter, Peter, don't
start now. Come.

Hi. -Hi, Sweetie
what's happening?

Besides the fact that Mom's gone mad,
everything's fine.

Why? What did she do? -I don't know,
she's going through something.

When do you leave the office?
Let's meet, you'll tell me all about it?

Why not? Gladly. I'll talk to you
when I finish here.

Bye.

What's happening, honey?
Where do you think you're going, ah?

Where am I going, Nissan?

Call work, tell them
you're not coming in today.

Because your husband's
pampering you.

Nissan, you want to stop screwing around?
-Screwing what?

Screwing around.
Calm down.

Kids, where are your backpacks?

Come on, kids, bring
your mother her gift.

What gift? -Gift, gift. What do you think,
that today's a normal day?

What's going on with you?

Here you go.

[Happy Anniversary]

What did you get me?

You're not telling me?
What is it, Nissan?

What is this, Gucci?
-Gucci.

Where did you get this, Nissan?

What a beautiful thing
I brought into this world.

This thing.
What is this?

Maybe I'll put them on, Mr. Nissan,
For Miriam's wedding in Afula?

Why do you always think small, ah?

What about a flight to Barcelona,

A Rihanna show.. -What Barce-
-You and me. Next week.

You're joking.
-I'm not. -Come on, stop.

What is this?

What a dad you've got. You know
you've got a rare dad?

Yes? Anybody ever tell
you that? Hold on.

Hello?

Haymon. -Let me speak to him.
-Hold on.

What have you got with
Aliza's husband?

Give it. -What's happening, tell me.
-Nothing.

Give me that. We need to close something
small, and then we'll talk.

Hello, Haymon? -Do you want
to try on the boots with me?

How's it going?
-Come. -Yes.

Internal Security and Transportation
Ministries. Everything's signed?

Good. It's an armored vehicle?
Great.

OK, Man. OK, thanks, bye.

So, how's the boot?
-Turn around.

Nice?
-Amazing. Show me.

Come on, stop. You don't take a break
today, ah? -It's beautiful.

Good morning, Yaakov. Yes. -Nissan.
-Everything's done like you asked, yes.

Tell your friend to delay
the approval for 5 hours.

But he just signed it now.

Call him immediately.
It's top priority.

What's happening?
-What's happening, shush?

You know what I wish us
for the new year?

This is a wedding anniversary, honey.
Not New Year's.

Shut up. I wish we'll start our
own business. Just ours.

Again with that?

Nissan, you don't need this
Russian mafia

to wipe the floor with you.
-Enough with this talk.

Listen to me. You're good enough.

You're a king in your field.
Listen to your wife just this once.

Yeah, but I'm not.

I'm not.

How I hate when you
speak loser-speak.

It turns me off, Nissan.

Kids, come, come, it's late.

Haymon..

I bet on an escalation in July.
-Politically, it's ideal.

It's convenient for everybody.
Far enough from the elections.

They'll forget your screw-ups.
But Gideon, zero leaks for now.

I warn you. Not even off the record.
You've got nothing to win.

Why? I need to warm up the
treasury boys.

Maybe. But the journalist
will remember that

you're a leaker and meddler. Forget it.

For now let's focus on teaching the common
folk how you kill Arabs from the air.

What's with the new stealth wing?
-Getting here next week.

OK, so there you go. You've got an
excellent opportunity for headlines.

Fly to Colorado. Take a military
reporter with you.

Pamper him in a 5-star hotel.
Pet a few stealth fighters.

You've got a front page picture.

Is Londin paying for parking?
-That's what's worrying you?

56 shekels a day.
From now till death.

No, I'd prefer the Azrieli Tower
parking lot.

Hotel Jeromme opened a new spa.
Naked Spa.

Yes. Have you been to De Niro's
new Italian? It's a meat restaurant.

Gordin, I want you to prepare
research on Colorado.

Speak with Arik Henig. He'll organize
restaurant reservations for you.

It's two months in advance.
You know he's a friend of yours.

Yasha? -Hello, spies.
What's happening?

Good day, good recordings.
-Excellent.

Comrade Londin. -Yes?
-Are you paying for parking?

Nina Iskovna. What kind of

question is that? Of course.

Mishenka. A word, please?

Remember I asked you for a favor
a couple of days ago?

I need it now.

OK.
-Way to go.

Good news. We're released from
eavesdropping for today.

And where are you going?

Nina Iskovna. I need Misha for a
short mission, and he agreed to help.

Yes? and what does he
get in return?

Tickets for the Bolshoi?
-Perhaps you'll come with us?

Peter, how are things going, King?
-How are you, Department Head?

I see you got a new Russian.
-Ophir.

I also started with him.
Everything's open, Comrade

"I'll ask you again, who are your
contacts here?"

Say, Dadon.

Laser flashlight is not Directorate 12?

You're starting? -Give me
two minutes with him.

No way, King.
-It's his bug, not mine.

Please, Dadon.

End of the day, maybe.

I'm in a ticking bomb protocol with them.
I have no time to waste on them, Peter.

Ticking bomb with a pudding?

They asked for yogurt. This is what
I found, sorry.

Two minutes, Dadon.
Just to rule them out.

We also have an assassin team
out there.

Can I tell you no?

You're going to remain here like
a Siberian cat, ah?

OK. 90 seconds.
Entertain him while he eats.

[Russian:] Spoon?

Son of a bitch.

Oh my god.
-What a genius.

This doesn't mean that he
wasn't sent by Hezbollah.

Joint interrogation.
-Our lead. They speak Russian.

It's not like Vympel
to send such amateurs.

That's the driver. The bald guy's
the one in charge.

OK. I want constant
updates, ah?

Avi, let's go.

Thanks, Dadon, really.

OK, Ridder.

You're both going to the equipment room,
signing up for sleeping bags,

You're not moving from
here for the next year.

Velvala, I just have a short meeting at 4.
Something short, but critical.

Funny.
OK, get cracking.

How do you know he's the driver?

You can see.

What did he promise you?
-Nothing.

You're an idiot if you believed him.

Open the briefcase. It's got
everything you need.

Young man. Aren't you by chance
from Chelyabinsk?

You've got a typical forehead
for the region.

Similar to our forefathers.

Our prehistoric forefathers.

OK. It's a shame you're not joining us.
You'd have learned something in the Knesset.

I've got a physiotherapy appointment.
I'll stop by Kohali on the way.

Give him my regards.
-Sir.

The Syrians know we've moved up the
Stealth fighters. -Doesn't worry me.

They're crying to the Russians
that they're stuck with anti-aircraft

that can't deal with stealth fighters.

They're pressuring them to get
the SR-400 earlier.

What did the Russians say? -No missiles
until Damascus pays up.

But they're promising them "a gift
that will give them, for now,

a small strategic advantage."

Keep updating me.
-Yes, Sir.

How did they find out we've moved it up?
We've kept this top secret.

Leaked, as usual.

She's staying here. You put on a
shirt and tie and come with me.

I ordered coffee for you.
-Thanks.

So, what's happening with Mom?

I don't know. She's
bugging me.

Snooping in my closet.
Following me all the time.

So wave her away, why are you
making a big deal out of it?

No. It's not that simple.

After everything I made
her go through?

That woman doesn't get hurt
so fast. You're momma's boy..

Thanks. -But you need to grow
up and get out of this cage already.

What? Where did that
come from?

Just a sec. I need to answer this.

Yes, Yaakov.
-Natalya..

I'll be right back, OK?

Have you gone nuts?
What are you doing, Natalya?

Having coffee with Grom.
-Natalya.. -Grom!

Say, who invented that name?
Ludmila?

Lower your voice, please.

Why, why are you standing outside?
Come, sit with us.

You see, I have a better idea.

In 30 seconds you tell Eyal
something urgent came up at work.

Say 'bye' nicely,
and go away quietly.

I can't, Yaakov. You see, I just got
two invitations

to the Dan Hotel spa. And it would
be a shame not to use them.

Natalya. -I think Grom looks tense
and I thought it would do him good.

Not to mention the family bonding
between us. You know.

You're going overboard, Natalya.
Way overboard. You understand?

What do you want?
-I told you.

You don't trust me to manage
on my own, dearie?

I trust you too much. I know
your methods, Yaakov.

And you think if you're there you
could watch over him?

Your decision, Yaakov.

I'll think about it.

Are we going to talk or not?

Should I translate for you?
-We're wasting time.

You're making
fun of me?

[Russian:] I'm learning Russian.

Like, still learning.
-Yeah, right.

Really tough language.

I'm going to call Washington soon
and our friends in the CIA.

I'll tell them we
caught a Vympel team

that agreed to answer questions.

What will your friends do when
they intercept that call?

Are you sure they'll think
I'm lying, Comrade?

Fucking unbelievable, Peter.

Come on, attack his balls.
Stop being so delicate.

You know what we did to these types
in the [special forces] Duvdevan unit?

First of all, strip them.

I don't want to hear this. -What's wrong
Shani? You're squeamish?

These SOBs killed a soldier your age.
You know that?

Who sent you?

You been saved. Tell Peter to
tell his friends goodbye.

Because in 3 hours they're
being sent to the airport. -What?!

Moscow called Mossad's foreign relations
and admitted these assholes are theirs.

Of course, they apologized
and said it was just an exercise.

Welcome to the non-Arab Section, Buddy.

So the Mossad tells you to release
them and you do?

Not at all. The Mossad are
my enemies.

But when the Mossad calls the Prime
Minister, who's going to Russia this month,

and wants them to owe him,
then it's "bye, bye".

A ride to the airport.
-Fucking unbelievable this shit.

Well, you were just saved a week's
waste of time.

It's also not certain you could
have gotten anything out of them.

OK, so move them to a room together.
At least they won't be bored.

And Ridder,

Thank you for your work.
Both of you. We'll talk.

Let's go. We've got screwed.

What are you smiling,
you son of a bitch?

Go to hell, all those Russians.

Wait. Damn, they're
already here.

You've got an armored vehicle here,
amazing.

Even this part is armored.

Even the tires can
withstand bullets.

You see. The car's
just like you wanted.

The upholstery, look.
You've got your radio here.

Radio, look what a
beautiful system.

Come, Giga, let's
go to my office.

We'll sign some forms.
-What forms?

There's a few forms from
the Transportation Ministry

This thing is a sea of bureaucracy

Come on, go. -I need to go
to the bathroom. -Hold it in.

It's a pleasure making this deal.
Amazing deal.

I'm going.
-Update me with anything.

Done.

Love you.

You're so emotional today.

Bye, Natasha.
-Bye.

You saw the laser flashlight?
It's amazing military equipment.

Exercise. Right. You believe that?
-It doesn't matter what I believe.

Say, are you a bank teller?
I can't believe you.

We're letting murderers go, Peter.
Think of Eliko's mother.

I'm thinking of her. That's
why I'm hurrying to work.

No, we should have continued
working on the Finns.

Attack them with everything
we've got.

I tell you, they didn't come here
for nothing.

They're part of this whole thing.
-Now you're on fire?

A second ago you could only
think of that woman from the train.

You're told 'no', and you're on fire?

I'm such an idiot.

I'm going up to work on Ramat Efal.
You're welcome to join.

Listen, I'm so sorry.
I feel like dying.

What happened? -No, this
unexpected thing came up.

There was a hysterical mess here.
But it's not typical, I swear.

I just hope I didn't
lose my chance.

OK, you don't need to be so dramatic.
Call when you can, OK? We'll meet?

Fine, I'll talk to you. Bye.

Don't ever talk about this.
Diana will kill me.

She'll put you in the yard,
next to the cat.

Hi, Diana. What are
you doing here?

I wanted to talk to you.
-Everything's OK?

May I come in?

Let's continue.

Michael and Diana Gordin.
What do we have on them?

The son's an officer in the air force.
Lieutenant. No further info.

Check the father.

Engineer in RAFAEL.
[Defense Technologies]

Early retirement.

Print this out for me.

Natalya Gordin. Poor thing.
Russian and ugly too.

They were interrogated twice.
Insisted the KGB hadn't turned to them.

Got an Aliyah certificate easily.
A psychiatrist and an engineer?

No way the Directorate didn't
pressure them to cooperate.

Maybe they were just afraid
to confess.

They were under the Section's
surveillance for four months.

But no suspicious link was found
so they let them go.

That's it? Just four months?

Well, you know how many
made Aliyah back then?

We were sleeping in the
hallways, like in the hospital.

And the son is an officer
in the air force.

Come.

Kawasaki, pull over.

Pull over, Kawasaki.

Lt. Eyal Gordin?
-Yes.

Elyasaf, Defense Ministry.

You need to come with us.

Where? For what? -Undercover investigation
I can't give you any details now.

Investigation? -I suggest you
come with us quietly.

Leave the bike here.

Can I make a phone call?

There will be time for phone calls later.
The office already knows.

Give me a minute to make a call.
-Let's go. -Come with us, please.

What about the bike?
-It will be taken care of.

1-0 to Yasha.

He did what he was asked
to do. That's it.

Command 1-3-6-3-80

Tactical 3, we've got Gordin.
We're on our way to the office.

This is Tactical 3,
very good. ETA?

Ten 'short ones'.

Gordin, no phones, please.

Hi, this is Eyal. I'm not
available right now.

Everybody, pay attention to dispatches
from police and ambulances.

The Section Head requests
you bring him in at 5pm.

Right.

Please put your weapon, phone
and watch here.

What is this supposed to mean?

Please sit over there.

An interrogator will come soon
and he'll give you all the details.

Hello, Eyal.
Shaul, Shabak.

Can I offer you something to drink?
