The Gordin Cell (2012–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Episode #1.9 - full transcript

"Gordin Cell" is a fictional series

[Previously...] Misha, you're Yosef Pinchuk.
Ground staff.

Memorize the ID number.
Eyal, you're going on the plane.

Gideon's Boeing?
-Yes, Gideon's Boeing.

It's got a new Raytheon
electronic warfare system

You get it for us.
It takes 3 minutes.

How's Colorado going? -Ask my
Executive Assistant. It's his job.

OK. I've got Colorado.

Liat.

I need more input about
the Colorado flight.

[Russian:] How you doing, Comrade?
-I'm OK, how are you?



Great. I feel like I've just been
fucked up the ass.

So, you talked to Velvala?
-I did.

And?
-He won't listen.

I got suspended.
-Maybe I can help you.

What?
-I know people.

Did you come to talk
about me or about Eyal?

We think his parents
involved him in a crime,

that will ruin his life.

Maybe even cost him his life.

Can somebody explain to me
what's going on?

Alec, we're doing this for you.

Doing what?
-Disappearing.

Next time Londin
asks you to do something,

feel free to kick his ass.



Tamar, Eyal's girlfriend.
How well do you know her?

We met a few times in the ward,
when Eyal was hospitalized.

Maybe it's time to strengthen
the relationship.

These drapes,

they're hand stitched, right?

Room service, here you go.
-Lizochka!

Thank you, dear.

We prefer leaving her anesthetized,
at least until morning.

And then we'll try waking her up.

It's important to wait for lab results.
Her organs are failing.

You don't know what she has?
-Not yet.

We hope in the morning we'll
have answers, or at least a direction.

Son of a bitch!
-You want her to be OK?

Son of a bitch, what did you do to her?

Listen good..
-Tell me what you did to her!

I can get her out of it.
I've got the antidote.

I've got the antidote.
Do what I'm asking,

and in three days
she'll be OK.

You don't, and you can forget
about the antidote.

Nobody's going to find it.
You understand me?

They'll put me on a diplomatic plane
to Moscow. OK? Is that clear?

Your body, maybe, you son of a bitch.
You won't leave here alive.

Alexander.
-Can you stop calling me that?

OK.

OK, fine.

Fine.

You still love football, Eyal?

Remember you were hospitalized here?

When you were three or so?
Pneumonia, I think.

Here, in this ward.

I think that..

I remember we sat over there.
On this couch thing.

Your grandmother, Natalya,
me and you.

We sat there. We watched the World Cup.

You were crazy about Maradona.

I remember you were sitting on my knees.
Holding my finger.

Every time Maradona would..
-What do you want from me?

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

That you keep your commitments,
Alexander.. Eyal.

That's it. -I can't get
you that plane.

I don't have access to that plane.
-You can and you will.

Don't let ideology confuse you.
It's a very simple equation.

Very simple, Eyal.

A weapons system that by tomorrow
will be too outdated even for the Chinese,

or Tamar's life.

Those are the options.
That's reality.

Every second she suffers
is a pity.

[Russian:] What do you want, Peter?

I'm glad I'm back home.

"I'm glad", "I'm glad".
-That's what I said.

Btw, thanks a lot for your help, referring
me to the tax investigators' course.

Their loss.
-But your gain.

You didn't miss me, you Bulgarian?
-You didn't give me a chance to.

So what's new by us?
-Not now. I'm hurrying to Velvala.

And you think I'll let
you go alone?

[Russian:] Come on, Detective.

Yes?

Ophir, welcome back.
-Thanks, Velvala.

Do you mind waiting outside?

Outside?
-It won't take long.

OK.
-Come, Peter, sit down.

Fuck.

You know Rami from our 'parallels' [Mossad]?
-Nice to meet you.

Turns out our friends got their hands
on an encrypted video file

and they thought you
might want to see it.

I need you by me in my moment of victory.

You, not Gennady Petrovitch, you understand?

Yasha, this line is unsecure.

Who are these?
-They don't know.

Where did you get this?

What encryption is it, at least?

Whose encryption?

I'm sorry.

OK.

Names? Locations?

The house in Moscow is the home
of a person of interest.

A top ranking army official.

May I?

I need you by me in my moment of victory.

You, not Gennady Petrovitch, you understand?

Gennady?

Gennady Sobchak, the press attach??

Our Peter knows the names of all
the embassy employees by heart.

He's new. You're expecting more files
from the same source?

Negative.

It would really help us

if we would know more or less
where this came from.

Peter, we should be thanking
these guys

for involving us in this.
Here, take a look.

OK, friends.
-Good luck.

Give our thanks to the Department Head,

About your boy,
turns out he has political friends.

So until I find a way
to kick him out of here,

I want him to dry out, to suffer.
No fieldwork, no sensitive contact.

Velvala, I...

wanted to say 'thank you' for
the opportunity you're giving me, and..

Peter's your boss.

Everything goes through him.

And Ridder, if the building's on fire

and the only escape is
through my office,

even then don't get near it.

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

Hello, Gennady Petrovitch.

Yasha, Yasha, Yasha.

Well, what should we do with you?

Sit.

Comrade Rezident..
-This time I speak and you shut up.

I thought you and I
were on course.

That we did well,
and now this all of a sudden.

If you were in my place,
what would you call a situation,

where your senior agent loses all his
operatives in the middle of an op?

"Work process"?
-I'd call it "failure".

In four days the plane
is taking off without the worm,

the criminal will
escape unpunished,

and who do you think
Moscow will blame?

That's right.
Me, Yasha. Me.

And they'll be right.

"A good manager is measured first
and foremost by the quality of his people."

Steve Jobs. Apple CEO.

Gennady Petrovitch, may I?
-What?

Do you like jazz?
-So..?

It's a stupid question, excuse me,
of course.. -Where are you going with this?

Jazz, Gennady Petrovitch,
is played by ear. -You improvise.

Exactly, you improvise.

The thing is, an agent in the field
needs to know to improvise.

You'll always have problems. You need
to bypass them and move forward.

Move forward to where, Yasha?
You lost Grom.

Where can we go from here?
-Grom's not yet lost.

Gennady Petrovitch,
the concert's just beginning.

You saw what an asshole?

He drives me crazy. Like he hates
me personally. What's his deal?

He's acting like I tore up his
weekend papers or something.

Velvala doesn't like politicians.

What do politicians have to do with this?
-You tell me.

You're also upset at me. Cold.
Don't think I don't feel it.

This picture, cross-reference
with all the faces we've run into.

Visual surveillance, tactical teams,

investigation files, red Aliyah files.
-This picture?

Check the unknowns, archives,
airport questioning,

reports, diplomats, foreign relations,
everything.

And ask Wissotzky to run his new
Face application.

[Rezident]

Peter.

If you've got something weighing on you,
get it out, tell it me to my face.

You think I'm back here
because of favoritism?

You don't think I deserve
to be here?

I'm going out for a few hours.
-Where are you going? I'm going with you.

You're not going with me.
You're staying here and working on this.

Come on, Peter. You know
I hate office work.

Gordin.
-Why didn't you come?

What?
Who's this?

I brought in a regiment
of recruits to prepare

Hatzerim Airbase Control
for an officer's inspection.

Those poor guys worked all night.
Not nice.

Tali. -Not to mention
that I baked a cake.

Wow, if I'd known there was cake.
-It's not too late, you know.

There's a few more days
till the AFC's flight.

Yes, truth is, I had lots of
work thrown at me here, I..

I'll try to drop by soon.
-OK.

I'm here.
At least, until I'm discharged.

Bye.

Hi.
-Hi.

Moshe Peled, from Bar Ilan.
-Nice to meet you. Natan.

Which Bar Ilan? -Bar Ilan University.
I'm a PhD student.

A PhD student?

You look like a professor.

IDF pensioner.
I returned to school.

Listen, I'd like to know if you
are willing to help us

in this research we're doing
on random visual memory storage.

You'll be paid 250 shekel for it.
-Gladly, gladly.

Galochka, take care of the customers.

Look, in the past two weeks

we sent here a few people
from our control group.

I'll show you their pictures,
and if you can identify them..

I'm not known for my memory.

Ah. Here, this guy.

The rude guy with the caviar.

Ah, you remember the caviar.
-Yes, yes.

The picture is a bit blurry.

That's part of our research.

Yes, I think he was here.
-Ah..

Yes, do you know any more details about him?
Does he live in the neighborhood?

No, no, no.

Do you know his name, maybe?
-No, not at all.

He was here once.

You sent him, right?

What did he buy?
-No, no.

OK. do you know the make
of his car?

Listen, if I'd remember, I'd tell you.

Here. I've got a son in the
Golani Engineering Company.

I bring them refreshments,
on my initiative.

On every fun day they have in the Company.

Herring, vodka, potatoes, pirozhki.

You think I don't want
to help the state?

The research.

Here's your 250 shekel.
-No, no, no need, no.

It's on me. No, thanks.

Do you happen to have
Kr?wka candies?

Kr?wka? Yes, here,
behind you.

My neighbor.

Here. Kr?wka.

Hey, you get these too?

Well?

Cola bottles, road signs, a lizard from the
Gal?pagos Islands. -What's that?

Gal?pagos. It's the name of the island.

OK. The picture isn't good quality.
The computer's outputting garbage.

So what did you come here for?
To annoy me?

Where's Peter?

Why?
-I've got this thing.

Wissotzky, anything you want to tell Peter,
you can tell me too.

OK. I ran the Face search

on all the pictures of the family
from Ramat Efal.

I got additional results
for everybody,

because, you know, today
everybody uses the internet..

Get to it, Wissotzky.

Natalya Gordin's picture doesn't
appear anywhere else.

No student ID, no Facebook,
no Flickr,

no Picasa.

Well, with her face, it's not surprising
she runs away from cameras.

She only has a picture in the population
registry and DMV. Looks suspicious.

You think it's suspicious, ah?
-Yes.

Remind me which course you took,
Wissotzky?

No. I'm asking seriously.
-Support. Computing.

And how's that related to investigations?

Not related.
-And tea?

What? -How's that
related to tea, Wissotzky?

-It's not related to
tea Wissotzky [company]..

I'm related to Wissotzky the singer.

[Population registry]

Ossi? -Varda from Arkia [company] was
looking for you. -A bit later, OK?

Nissanchik, what are you doing here?
The Shiva [mourning period] isn't over yet.

I have nothing to do at home.

Nissan, I want you to know
that what I told you in the Shiva

was for real.

OK? I.. I'll do anything
to compensate you.

What do you mean 'compensate'?

Whatever you ask, dear.
Whatever you.. even without asking.

I've got a proposal for you.

Listen, I'll be leaving soon.

That's it. Out of here.
Early retirement.

I want to leave you the business.

Nissan Tours, like the sign outside,
but yours. What do you say?

For nothing, 100% yours.

Maybe it's too early to discuss this,
but.. it's important you think about it.

It's very important for
Gaichuk and Stav.

Thank you, Yaakov. Thanks.

Sure. Sure, dear.

Be strong.

Moshe from the Health Ministry?

How are you, Ms. Gitelman?
-It will never be good, ever again.

I'm sorry.

Maybe you want tea?
-No, no, no, no.

I won't take up your time.
Just one question.

Please.
-A quick question. -Yes?

Do you recognize this man?

This is Eli's friend?
-Could very well be.

He's also sick? You're asking me
because he's also sick?

Did he work with Eli?

I didn't know who worked with him.

I'm sorry.

Maybe you should ask Gideon.

Gideon?
-Gideon, his CO in Intelligence.

The Intelligence General.
He would prepare computers for him.

They were very close.
-Gideon Ram?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
-The General? -Yes.

He treated Eliko very well.
Took care of him

He really liked him.
-Yes.

You're right, he headed Army Intelligence.

Now he's the Air Force Commander.

I don't know.

I'm sorry. I really don't know
to help you more.

Thanks.
-You're welcome.

Guni, what's happening, honey?
It's Ophir.

Tell me, which high School do they go to
in Ramat Efal?

Can you check?

Really? OK, thanks, dear. Bye.

[Ben Zvi High School]

[Alumni contact sheet]

[12th grade annual trip, 2000]

[Natalya (Nati) Gordin]

Are you OK?

Yes, great.

Which pile did you go over,
that or that?

I already finished those.

You think I'd waste a whole day
on three files?

Velvala heats up quickly
and cools down quickly.

Don't worry. We'll calm
him down.

Cheers.

Elizabeth Alexavana,
could you lower the volume, please?

It's my room.

We're acting like traitors.
-What are you talking about?

We should warn Natachka.
She's all alone.

Nati is a big girl. -That's the
third time you've said that.

What does it mean?
What does 'big girl' mean?

I'll explain it to you, Misha.
She thinks Nati's working against us.

Against us?

Against our family?
-I said no such thing.

So tell me what you think.

I think she's safe.

That she found herself a different
arrangement. Privately.

With Yasha Londin.

You're crazy.

Nati is a good, obedient girl.

You were next to me when
I talked to her on the phone.

"Let Yasha deal with it",
she said.

She wasn't surprised at all.
She knew. -It's all clear.

She's paranoid. Flipped out.
-Enough with the horror stories.

It's disgusting. -You, you're ready
to sacrifice Natashka to Yasha

because of one telephone call?
-Thanks to you, dear.

I love my children, both of them.
-And you think I don't?

Quite!
Stop shouting.

And if it's not like that, Dianuchka?
What if you're wrong? What then?

I think we just need
to speak with Nati.

I'll speak with her, but my way.

She'll speak, her way.

Yeah, right.
I can imagine.

You're so sexy.

Hello?

Hi, Tali, how's it going?
It's Gordin.

Hi.

Say, are you on duty today?
-Almost finished, why?

I thought to drop by.
Spontaneously.

But if you don't have time, never mind.
Next time.

You think so?
Come on, I'm in Control.

Great. Twenty minutes.
-Bye.

What a system you've got here.
I'd be completely lost.

Nonsense.
You see what I do here.

As if by me in the office
it's more interesting.

The General.

Yes, Gideon?

Are you on the plane?
-Not yet.

Let me know when you're by the panel,
I'll guide you from here.

OK.
Bye.

Everything's OK?
-Yes, yes.

He was yapping on something
about the Colorado trip.

Really? You're going?
What fun.

Frankly, I'm not that excited
about it.

But I'd love to see Gideon's plane.

A 30 year old Boeing,
it's a wonder it's even taking off.

Really?

You want to do a quick tour?

Forget it, to walk all the way
to the concourse?

Why not?
Just to take a peek.

Come on, you're not serious.
-A plane just for you and me.

Five minutes and we're out.

Tali, you weren't so serious
in officer's training.

You forgot the canteen?

Of course I remember.
I thought you've forgotten.

You think?
Come on.

Come, come.

So, Mr. Rezident.
Enjoying your seats?

Our Charlie Parker
is already on stage.

Charlie Parker?

If we're caught, it's the end of me.
-Five minutes, nobody will notice.

This thing is a little old, isn't it?

I can't believe you convinced
me to do this.

I can't believe this thing
actually goes up in the air.

Wow. So strange.

Eyali, we need to get off.

Already?

Wait a sec, we just got on, right?

What?

Until we finally meet..
let's stay here a little longer.

Yasha, what are we
waiting for?

As we were taught in Ulpan [Hebrew course],
Gennady Petrovitch,

[Hebrew:] Patience.

Patience.

Eyali?

Eyali, are you OK?

What is it?
-I.. the lung.

So let's go to the clinic.
-Take the inhalator, get it for me.

In the office, in the control room.
Get it for me.

OK.
Yes.

I'm in the cockpit
The plane looks like it's from '73.

Everything around you in analog
except for one computer panel.

It should be on the right, bottom.

It should say..

"EWS".
You have it?

Found it.
-Open it.

There's a USB plug on the board.

It's now set to neutral.
Set it to 'enabled'.

It's flashing red.

Enter the key, wait for green.

Got it.

Three, two, one.
We're in.

What now?

You don't need to do anything.
Just wait.

You're kidding me?
It's not downloading, it's uploading.

Excuse me? -You heard me, you
son of a bitch. What are you planting here?

Londin, what are you planting here?
You tell me now.

This is not the time
for technical explanations.

You son of a bitch, what are you planting?
-If I see the operation stopping,

there will be immediate consequences.

Think of Tamar.

Son of a bitch.

Another thirty seconds.

Thanks.

Are you OK?

Yes. -You're sure?
-Thanks.

OK, let's go.

Let's go.
I'm OK. I'm coming.

You're sure?
-Yes, yes.

Come on.

The worm's on the plane.

Hello?

OK. Got it.

I'm on my way.

Why'd you wake up?

I need to go.
-Where to in the middle of the night?

I've got a customer from abroad.
-Wow, what a shame. My poor dear.

OK. I'm going back to sleep.

You're leaving with me.

Your thing.
-Sorry.

I did what you asked.
-Of course, Eyal.

Now it's your turn.
-Right.

In three days the antidote's
by you. -Three days?

Right after the flight to Colorado.

Police, hello.
-Hi..

I want to report a criminal. -Yes, Sir.
Raise your voice, please.

Yaakov Londin. It's the Russian Mafia.
He's a murderer.

Yes, sir. This is the
Financial Crimes Unit.

You need to turn to
the emergency hotline.

I can't, they'll kill me.
Listen.

I'll give you all the details.
They're at.. it's Nissan Tours.

Sir, please raise your voice.
-They're in Bnei Brak.

23 Tchernichovsky St.
Second entrance.

He. Yaakov Londin sits in the back.
and he runs all his criminals.

It's mafia, and it's money
laundering. That's it.

OK. I need your details.
-I can't. I have kids.

Yes, but it's just..
-I can't. I have kids.

Mom.
-Are you alone?

Who did you think will come with me?
-Natasha, I don't know what to think.

Do you have any idea
how worried I was?

Sorry.

You can come closer.
I won't bite you.

We have to be careful, you understand.
-I understand.

I understand very well.

Natachanka..
-Nothing changed.

That's not true.

What have I done, that you
hate me so much?

Besides being born?
-It's not like that.

We're doing this to save you.
So you won't go to jail.

Natasha, it's just a friend of Grandma..

Don't tell me anything.
I don't want to know where you are.

I'm so sorry.

Beware of Yasha.

I met her.

I could have gotten an address,
everything. But..

right now it's more important
that she know I'm with them.

For our victory.

[Hebrew:] Cheers.

Sobchak here.

Yes, Minister.

Affirmative.
The worm's on the plane.

That's impossible.

I don't understand..

What do you mean 'handled'?
Maybe it's encrypted..

I mean, what I meant
to say, Minister..

What?

The drive Yasha got?

Something's wrong with it.

They suspect it was corrupted
during duplication.

And not by mistake.
-I had a feeling.

The whole time I couldn't stop thinking
about Yazov's sudden death.

Londin.

You can shoot me some other time.

I need you with me now.
Come on.
