The Gordin Cell (2012–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Episode #1.5 - full transcript

Are you a Lt. in the Air Force?
-Yes.

Have you made contact with
a foreign agent? -No.

Can your loyalty to the IDF and the State
of Israel be trusted 100%?

Yes. -You're a good
liar, Eyal.

Impressive. Calm intonation.
Your voice doesn't shake.

But the body, my friend,
doesn't know how to lie.

Your eyes go left, your fingers
interlock inward.

Your foot is jumpy.

I don't need a polygraph here.

I'm not lying. The situation here
is stressful.

Well, of course.
Of course.



Let's continue.

Have you, in your position in the office
of the Air Force Commander,

passed on classified information
to a foreign agent. -No.

Have you given information verbally
to a foreign agent. -No.

Are you being blackmailed for crimes
you've committed? -What? No.

You know what I'm talking about.
-Not at all.

You have no idea what
I'm talking about?

Truthful.

Gali, leave us alone, please.

A few days ago, during a routine test
you were asked if you have anything to hide.

You said 'no', you passed. -It's a
stupid question. -Perhaps.

Say, did somebody coach
you to beat the polygraph?

Or are you just a
natural talent?

Who's 'somebody'? Who's 'somebody'?
What are you talking about?



You know very well
what I'm talking about.

[sings religious song]

So, enjoying the show?
-Especially the 'R'

Thank you.

All five families fit
our profile.

OK, I get it.
What do you want?

Two tactical teams
to observe the street,

Two-three cameras on dead spots,
and that's it, more or less.

Petka, if you and I go to
Operations now.

I'm telling you, they'll kick
us out the door.

Bring me something
with more meat.

You wanted to say something?

First they let murderers go, and now they
laugh in our faces. -Ophir.

Come on, what have we
asked for, already?

With all due respect, Velvala.
I'm sick and tired

of the attitude we get here, from you and
the rest of the Department. -Ophir.

I don't deserve it, and Peter
sure doesn't. -Ophir.

If you don't mind, I'm
late for my train.

Maybe on the way I'll pass
by the market, get you some meat.

I apologize for his behavior.
-That pup has balls.

I'm telling you, he'll
be head of the service.

Yes, he's got an attitude, yes.
So what about Ramat Efal?

Why did you come? You know you
don't have enough for an operation.

I want to continue with this
direction. Trust me.

No, you badger me.
I don't have strength for you.

Take a day or two, you and your pup.
See if you can find some inspiration.

We'll talk.
-Yes, we'll talk.

A criminal terror attack,
apparently by a skilled assassin.

The car's cushion blew up..
-Misha..

Come, look what a beautiful
car got blown up.

Doesn't it look
familiar?

An immigrant from the CIS was
murdered a short time ago

when a bomb exploded
in his luxury car.

The victim, whose name
may not be published yet,

was considered a top police
intelligence target.

Police believe the assassination
was done by trained professionals.

Professionals, ah?

Sorry, Misha. If you ever
want to get rid of me,

I'd like you to do it like that.
-Under the nose of the police.

I swear I didn't know.

That despicable Yasha told me
it was just wiretapping.

In the seat? Where did
you learn engineering?

Norilsk?

Enough, Nina. Not now.

What are you doing here?
-What's the problem?

Why aren't you working on eavesdropping?
-Yasha said we can rest a bit.

We listened all morning.
-Yasha said you can rest a bit?

Does that sound logical?
-Everything's OK, Diana.

Since when does Yasha
care about your social rights?

Yasha will only get you away from
Eyal if he wants to get close himself.

Enough.
Here, look.

Eyal's in the army HQ.
In the office. Everything's fine.

And back to the main story
this evening.

There is stronger suspicion
that the luxury car

arrived in Israel on a ship from Belarus...
-What are you doing?

already booby-trapped.. -It's just
making noise, it's bothering me.

Bothering? You?

News? -I'm not allowed
to have a headache? -You are.

Viktor Hadadayev. Known for his
links with the Caucasian Mafia heads.

Police sources say that the assassins
used a tiny video camera

hidden inside the car to verify
Hadadayev's identity... -Diana,

Listen to me before.. -You've gone
completely nuts. -Listen.

It's all nonsense..
-Idiot, you're such an idiot.

Do you realize what trouble
we're in now because of you?

We're already in trouble
and I'm trying to get us out.

Do you know how many points we'll
get for this? This was top priority.

Yasha got stuck without
a technical guy.

Listen, he said if we help them,
the Rezident will free us.

Are you listening
to yourself?

I swear, you'll see. -Misha, you
promised me nine years ago,

that you won't hide
missions from me.

And that you never, ever, murder.
You and I collect info.

That's what we agree
to do for them.

Pitiful. Idiot. Stupid.

God, it was just a Caucasian
criminal. -Sure.

He lacks illustrious engineers,
so he needs you?

He wanted to get you in trouble.
-Where are you going?

Don't you dare leave
the house.

The immediate suspects..

Two days ago were suspected
of planning the assassination..

Yes. -Elza is on her way to you.
-Got it.

But she's very agitated. She wants
to stop playing by the rules again.

Like that time she went to the
Shabak. -Noted.

You're bothering me in the middle
of recruitment. We'll talk later.

Who was that?

Mother nature has an
interesting sense of humor,

if you have such an
obedient brother, Natalya.

I was obedient like
a Pioneer.

You've got a short memory, Yasha.
-So how does it feel so far?

It won't take much longer.
He's getting there.

I wasn't asking about him, but
about you. -You know, nostalgia.

Somebody's in a mood.

"Blessed are you, Lord, who created
fruit of the chicken."

It was different with you, Natalya.

In what sense? -Nobody lied
to you, dearie.

You're really a
math tutor?

Didn't I teach you well?
-Great.

It wasn't easy for them, if
that's what you're hinting at.

Really? Anybody packed suitcases
when you came to recruit me?

They were still active then. It was
more natural. -Not for me.

Kolokol.
-I know.

Hi, Ophir. You called to apologize
for standing me up?

I'm an idiot.

Believe me, I should have come
instead of wasting time here.

Are you OK? What happened?
-Bad day. I feel like quitting, I swear.

I'm tired of it.
-Natalya, go to him.

Not now.
-Go to him.

What did I tell you?
-Ophirush, hold on a sec, OK?

I'll meet him later.
-Not later, Natalya. Now.

There's a limit to my patience.
You understand what I'm saying?

We need you with Kolokol.
Not 'later'. Yesterday.

And what about him?
-He'll be fine.

You wanted to see how I
do it? You saw.

The nice Shabak guy.
I'm nice, right?

You want me less nice,
that can be arranged too.

With God's help.

Ophirush, where are you now?
I'll be at the train in a sec.

Are you hurrying, or do you feel
like meeting? -No, no, no, not at all.

You're not with your mother?

Yes, she's just asleep, and
I need to get out a bit. So..

I'm coming?
Great.

Bye.
-OK.

Bon appetite, Yasha.

We repeat what we know so far.

An immigrant from the CIS was murdered
a short time ago.. -Hello?

-when a bomb hidden in his.. -Yes, Geula
-luxury car exploded.

The victim, Viktor Hadadayev, known for his
links with the Caucasian Mafia heads,

Go to your room. Guy, take her to your
room. Now. -What are you doing?

What are you doing?
That was Geula on the phone.

Go, I said!
-Honey.

You want to murder your
K-I-D-S, tell me?

You want to murder the K-I-D-S?

What am I supposed to do now?
-Orly, chill. OK?

If Geula can do one plus one.

How long will it take before they're
on to you, stupid?

You called Haimon to help
you with this car.

Transportation Ministry, Interior Ministry.
Everybody knows Haimon took care of it.

What do you want from me, ah? Half the
Caucasians in Israel go through me.

It's tourism. It's my business.
What do you want,

that I'll check them one by one?
-Everybody realized

that the Russian mafia is financing
your business. -Speak clean.

You're blind?

Are you stupid?
You think I'm stupid?

Stop, I didn't do anything.
I'm not connected to anything.

and I don't know anything. -A hundred
thousand times I told you

That in the end you'll kill for them.
And then they'll kill me and the kids.

What do you want from me?
What do you want me to do?

Take the phone, call him now,
tell him you're leaving.

Ah, yes? You think it's so easy
to call them and say,

"sorry, I'm leaving, thanks"?
What do you think?

There, you admit it, "them". You're
not working for them naively.

You're a little mobster yourself.
-Tell me, how do you think

you live like a queen, ah?
Spendthrift. How?

You know what's my salary?
A lot more than what I'm worth.

Yaniv, my sister's son, works
for the police. You call him now.

Fine, I'm really calling the police now.
-You're not calling?

Don't call, I'll call.
-I want to see you call.

Shut up, Nissan, don't get
on my nerves. -Give me the phone.

I'm calling now. Don't get near me.
-Orly, come on a sec..

Nothing, I'm not
letting you do this anymore.

Don't touch me.
Leave me alone.

When the intelligence guys
first mentioned your name,

I told them 'Guys, you're
dreaming'.

This guy won't betray his country.
But they had an indication.

The AFC's office
has a spy. An officer.

Our top priority is to find him.
-What spy?

What spy? What are you talking about?
-You know, by the way,

You hurt my reputation,
you.

At a meeting with the Department
Head I said,

"Guys, trust Shaul's instincts.
Gordin won't betray."

Enough, you're nuts. I won't
accept.. -Sit!

I want a lawyer. I want
to speak with my parents.

Sit down.

Thank you.

Do you know when a man
becomes dangerous to the system?

When he can be blackmailed, Eyal.

What does that mean?
That he has a secret.

When I understood how deep
and sad your secret was,

how much you'll sacrifice
to hide it,

I understood I made a mistake.
-I don't want to sacrifice anything

and nobody tried to blackmail me.
-I want to believe you.

Listen, I'm telling oou it's nonsense.
Don't you understand?

I hadn't spied in my life.
Nobody turned to me to spy,

and if they would,
I'd report it.

Did you deserve that
commendation?

Do you really think
you deserve it?

We know about Mayfadoun.

That's it, the games are over.
I want to know everything.

Now.

For a while I've been feeling
I'm at full gas in neutral.

First they stuck me in the Section
which least fits me.

The exact opposite of me.

I'm telling you, it's like somebody's
doing it on purpose.

But I told myself, 'forget it,
prove yourself.

let go, work hard, advance.'
But nothing.

I feel I'm facing an entire
system of rules

that just between us, 90% of which
are stupid. It's frustrating.

So what, I should go? give up?
-Not at all.

You're special, Ophir.

Why are you looking at me like
that. I'm dead serious.

I see it. You're built
for greater things.

How much vodka did you have?

I'm totally serious.
-Come on, you barely know me.

That was my dream, you understand?
To get to this place.

If you want it so much, you need
to play by their rules.

I can't. I feel I'm about
to explode.

You know what I do when
I feel that way?

Ow, that hurt.
-You're gay.

Give up?
-Never.

You're not answering?

It's the office. I don't
feel like it.

And what if it's terrorists
taking over a school?

A school in the middle of
the night? -Answer, come on.

Tell them what they want to hear.
Stroke their ego.

Yes, Peter? -You calmed down?
-I'm calm. I was calm before too.

Listen. Velvala approved sniffing
around a bit. -No, you're amazing.

Should I collect you? -No, no, no, no.
I'll wait for you in Ramat Efal.

Bye. Good night, bye.

I didn't know there were
terrorists in Ramat Efal.

Piles of them.
-Really?

Yes. -Misha?

Something's wrong. What's happening here?
-What happened?

I don't know. Alec isn't answering.
Yasha isn't answering.

They're playing cat and mouse with
us. I'm going nuts.

He's not in the office? -It seems he's
close, right next door.

He's in the mall, or the parking lot.
The signals are coming from all over.

So he's in the mall.
Nothing to worry about.

That machine can miss
200 meters sometimes.

Yasha said.. -Stop believing
everything Yasha says, OK?

Diana, enough.
They're listening to us.

So they'll hear.
Excellent, just great.

I'm not your rag. I'll give
you endless trouble.

I'm done with your tricks.
I don't buy them anymore.

Misha, wait a sec, he's moving.
-Diana, I'm coming to you.

What's happening?
She's falling apart?

So it seems.

She sounds decisive.
-Yes.

Eliminate her. -Yasha's almost
finished. Maybe we should wait?

No, he's too close to them.

It's affecting his decision making.

The operation begins in ten days.
We can't take any risks.

We work according to the protocol.

It could affect the
husband's cooperation.

Do it cleanly. No tracks.

Yes? Kolokol and the old man
are going to Ramat Efal tomorrow.

I understand. I'll
take care of it.

You heard what I said? Efal.
-Calm down, Natalya.

Stay close to your target.
Try to find out what they know.

That's your top priority.
I'll take care of the rest.

Don't tell me to calm down.

How long will it take him to figure
out Nati Ganot is Natalya Gordin?

You've become too complacent.

I can deal with him.
Give him something to drink.

If he's hospitalized, they'll be distracted.
-No way. They're not stupid.

Nati, you know what you need to do,
if it's possible.

In a few more days,
this operation's behind us.

I want you to think about that, OK?
-Keep them away.

Strip.

Yes, Boss? -Nissanchik, there's $30,000
in the safe in the office.

I want you to put the money
in a little bag..

Yaakov, it's not..
it's not such a good time now.

Did you hear what I said?

Go to the office, get the money ready.
It's top priority.

After you put the money in a bag,
I want you to go to the Hiriya dump.

Leave the bag there.
-$30,000 in the trash?

Yes, Nissan. In the trash.
Now.

Honey..

Something came up, and I need to go out,
I need to go..

I have to.
-Go.

Just don't be surprised if the police
will be waiting for you when you return.

I swear, Nissan.

Honey, I'm going to leave them.
I swear.

OK?
-Leave them, and then we'll talk.

OK. -OK.
-I love you.

They didn't give me a chance
to explain what happened. -Please.

Here's your chance.

I made two mistakes.

The first mistake..
-No, no, no.

Start from the beginning.

The dispatch caught us
at the unit base.

A call on the comms.
"Orna, Orna, Orna."

We went out, a team: me
and two soldiers

We were supposed to go six,
by protocol, but there was a fun day.

Why didn't you go?
-I don't like these fun days.

I prefer to work.
-What about Yonatan and Bar?

Yonatan's my bro.
He was wherever I was.

And Bar.. always had
a big mouth.

He said something stupid,
So I left him back.

I mean, I advised him
to volunteer for his own good.

And why didn't you wait
for reinforcements?

The report said, "three
commandos got lost,

between Mayfadoun and West Zuatar."

One was neutralized
by a snake bite.

Collecting reinforcements means
flying, wasting a lot of time.

It was supposed to be
simple to collect them.

We were dropped off based
on the coordinates we got.

Cat Cloud from cloud, sound OK?
-Five by five.

Cat, you sound five in white.
Knuckles, this is Michal Point.

We're five 'long ones' from you.
Advancing towards you.

Be ready. -Got it.
I don't think he's breathing.

We're losing him.
Get here fast.

We got there, but.. they weren't there.
We're at the point, but they're not there.

I check my GPS. It's working,
no doubt about it.

So we started looking for them on foot.
Maybe they missed by a bit.

Knuckle, I can't join you.
I can't find you.

Are you north of the village?

Don't know. We're on the
mountain range

Listen, I'm whistling, Knuckle.
Do me a favor, hear me.

What direction did you
hear that from?

Don't know. South,
maybe West.

I don't know. South.
-They're completely lost.

I'm firing a tracer, you'll see it.
-No flares and no tracers.

We'll find you.

And then we saw..
the flare the commandos shot.

And that's what ignited
the fire?

No wind. Nobody took
a fire into consideration.

Who would have thought this crazy wind
vortex will suddenly appear.

But it did.

It did.

The fire's 100m from us.
Where are you?

Why aren't you running?
Throw your equipment, Knuckle, and run.

Why aren't you running? -We can't.
We're stuck on the mountain.

Climb up.
-We can't, we're burning.

Knuckle, Knuckle. Do you
hear me?

Knuckle, talk to me.

Fuck, we're going in. -No way, no way.
-We're going in. No question about it.

-It's lost, Eyal, forget it.
-Don't 'Eyal' me. We're going in now.

Can't you see? You see that thing?
-Calm down, Bar.

Listen, it's not lost.
We're going in.

Are you sure, Bro? Talk to them.
I'm with you, I'm going in, talk to them.

Bar didn't want to go into the fire.
Said I was insane.

And Yonatan?

He trusted me. He ran
after me.

Did you get approval
on the comm to join them?

Center, Center, I lost contact with
them. They're trapped in the fire.

Good chance they fainted.
Asking to go in.

Michal Point, withdraw.
No approval to join them.

We'll decide about Knuckle Team.
-You'll what?

Did you get that?
Withdraw.

Center, there's still a chance
to rescue them. I ask to enter.

I repeat, no approval.
Withdraw now.

You're not skilled for this mission.
Cat's on the way to you. Got that?

Center, the line's faulty.
I can't hear you.

Listen, we got orders to go in.
We're going in now.

After me. Come on.

We found the commandos by the cliff.
Two were completely burned.

Color of the ground.
Their skin was smoking.

Where was Bar?

I don't know. Somewhere
behind us.

On the way back to the chopper
Yonatan saw him.

And.. ? -He ran after him,
he ran back into the fire.

What did you do?
-I put the..

I put the bodies of
the commandos by the..

by the chopper and
ran after him.

Yonatan! Yonatan!
Yonatan!

You rescued him
from the fire?

And Bar?

He was already..

I wasn't conscious
for 37 hours.

When I woke up, It was
already in the headlines.

"Hero"

So you didn't follow protocol.
You disobeyed orders.

You also lied to your friends, ah?

Who else did you tell?
-No one.

May '84, 'Bunny Island' Op.
Heard of it?

I was a field officer.

Intelligence screwed up, within 10
minutes I lost half my force.

If I would have followed protocol,
I'd have lost the other half.

What can you do?

In our job, you need to make
split-second decisions.

Those who haven't gone through it,
can't understand it.

What can I say, Eyal?

I would have done
the same as you.

What did you do?

You read the situation in the field.
Took charge, saved people.

I've got news for you.
You deserve that commendation.

Answer.
-Answer?

Come on, answer.

You're serious?

Hello?

What?

What? Now?
What happened?

Where?

You're kidding me?

OK, OK, I'm coming. Bye.

I can't believe it.
-What?

I've been called up.

You're running away?
You're serious?

What can I do? I need to go.
-So two more minutes.

No, no, I've got to go.
-So one more minute.

You're such a hunk.

That was fun.
-You enjoyed it, ah?

Fun, fun.
-Take that off.

They're coming, they're coming.

Are you allowed to smoke,
with the injury and all?

One smoke won't kill me.

OK, I'm going now straight to the office.
To update the Shabak chief.

I think he's sitting there,
praying you come out clean.

He asked about you personally.

He also thinks I'm a traitor?

There's a traitor in the office, Eyal.
That's a fact.

How can that be?
I know everybody there.

Look, a man thinks he's
working for German Intelligence.

Not a lot of damage to the state.
Lots of money in his pocket.

He has no idea he's an unwitting agent.

That he's really working
for the Iranians.

They really do stuff like that?

That shit passed them info on the Stealth
Fighters. Including pushing up the date.

Including technical details.
From there it leaked to the Syrians.

The Intelligence Officer told me they know,
but.. one of us?

We don't share these investigations
with Army Intelligence.

You're Gideon's Executive Assistant.
You understand politics, right?

Anyway, now we're in a mess
with this, but..

It has nothing to do with you.
Yahav.

Thanks, Buddy.

Eyal, if a word of this
conversation leaks out.

It's as bad as spying,
as far as I'm concerned.

I'll finish you personally.

Do we understand each other?

I won't say anything.

Farewell, my friend.

Eyal, you forgot something.

Thanks.

Yes?

How are you, sweetie?

A long day.

Are you OK?

Yes.

When are you coming home?
-Later, maybe.

Take care, OK?
-Bye.

Everybody, listen up, please.
-Who needs this nonsense..

Come on -That's why I didn't want
to get involved, you understand?

Excuse me.

Tonight we intercepted a call
from a top Egyptian official in Gaza.

On a com line which has proved
itself in the past.

According to that call, the three Finns
who were in Israel last week,

hid three suitcases full
of money here.

How much? -Why, you want
a commission?

We found one suitcase, and to
answer your question: $30,000.

We're looking for Sudanese employees
of the Trash Company.

They're supposed to collect
the remaining suitcases,

and hand them out to Hamas
groups in the West Bank.

From now on, everybody's on stakeout
duty, 24 hours a day until further notice.

Got it? -So, what, we're going
to lie in the trash?

For national security.

What kind of answers..

Hey
-Hi.

What's happening?

Everything's OK? -Yes, I just,
I need to study tonight.

Frankly, I'm also tired.

I won't bother you.
I'll go to sleep too.

Frankly, I prefer you didn't sleep
here tonight. -What happened?

It's not the studies.

Your mother was here.

What? When?

She's concerned about you.
-What did she tell you?

What did she tell you, Tamar?
-That you're in post trauma.

That you're taking pills. That this
relationship can hurt you psychologically.

Unbelievable.

Eyal, it's your mother,
and she's also a psychiatrist.

I suppose she knows
what she's talking about.

Right.

Sorbon. Seroxat.

Sweats, shakes.

I've got nightmares at night.
I can't sleep.

But there's something
she doesn't know.

You know what she
doesn't know?

She doesn't know that when I'm
with you, I don't need it.

And when I lie next to you at night,
I don't have nightmares.

And this is the only place
that makes me really calm.

You save me, Tamar.

I can't believe you met with her.
The kid won't speak with us in the end.

I don't need lectures now, OK?
-You're going too far.

It seems you're the one
enjoying all of this.

You're not serious, I hope.
-You hid things from me.

You knew very well what I'd say.
-Wrong. -No, not at all.

You had nothing to do, so you
decided to become an assassin.

You understand that elimination
chained you to them forever.

They can always blackmail us.
-Not at all, we'll manage.

We always manage.
-Right.

OK, enough.

It's late, it's time
to go home, sleep.

You wanted Palestinians,
you got it.

This is Palestinians?

Come on, Peter. -What?
-How many people did you kill?

I'm a nice guy.

What? -What? -Why are you
happy, what happened?

Me?
-Yes.

I was with her now.

Before we got called up, you
managed.. ? nice, nice.

Congratulations.
-Thanks.

It was crazy.

I just suggest you live together for
a long time before the wedding.

So she'll know the price of living
with somebody like us.

You're crazy? What wedding?
I just met her.

We'll see.

So what, you got divorced
three times?

Who said I got divorced?

Come on, Peter.
Don't start with me.

What do you want.
-Talk. -What?

What? You killed all three?

One they killed.

Come on, you're serious?

Well?
-She hasn't arrived yet.

Yes. No, I called to
update about Grom.

Yes.
-Yasha.

What?

How?

Gennady Petrovitch, I know this woman
for a long time.

So, please, I can handle
this very quickly.

I really think that's
unnecessary.

I understand..

OK.

Yasha, how was your day?
Successful?

Very, very successful.

And yours?
-OK.

What's for dinner?
-Cheese rolls. -I knew it.

I knew it.

Hello?
-Good morning, my friend.

Good morning.
-I thought you'd be glad to hear

that the head of the Shabak was happy
to hear everything's OK with you.

You impressed us.
-Thanks.

He says that as far as he's concerned
you can be one of us.

He even had an idea that you could
help us, if needed.

What does that mean?
-Look.

I also think you have a lot
to contribute to this investigation.

To help find the traitor.

Sure, of course. I'd be happy..
-Good, so we'll be in touch, God willing.

Good, Bye.
-Good. Good day.
