01x07 - Shavuot

[bunniefuu]

While this series was
inspired by actual events,

the characters and some of
the events are fictional

and any resemblance between them
and reality is a coincidence.

Previously -

Are those the
evidence room keys?

If they find out you stole
these, we're screwed!

Got everything?
- As promised.

Maor, is anyone else
Selling you g*ns? A cop.

When they offered me the job, it also
came with a promise to study abroad.

It could open many doors for me.

Regarding my promise,

I gave you my word,
you'll get it either way.

We were gonna buy a house there.
- In "The Heart of Nahariya"?

She's been dreaming about it.

I know how to take Ezra down.

It could potentially mean far
worse than money laundering.

It's not that simple.

If you've given up,
why are we still here?

Miki, pull over and let's talk.
- There's nothing to talk about.

Are you going to your parents?

What are we doing, Alon?

Amit, I'm Tom's dad. I promised
her I'd try to help you,

I'll drop the as*ault
charges against you.

But first you must
do something for me.

Tell me where Bauman is, or I finish you!
-Drop the g*n!

You're under arrest for threatening,
as*ault and attempted m*rder.

Dispatch, this is 452,
I need an ambulance!

He's a traitor. Tried to rub me
out while I visited my dad's grave.

It wasn't me, Maor, I swear!

It's an ambush! Get in the car!
- You b*stard...

Alon!

Reuven!

I need emergency
evacuation. Reuven's down.

Get off!
-Shut up! You're under arrest.

Ezra is in custody. They
say it's a solid case.

They'll indict for attempted
m*rder. He's behind bars.

You'll make an excellent detective.
- I need to think it over.

We arrested him last
night in Nahariya.

Have you made any offers?
- Nothing,

but when he realized
the state he's in,

he said he can make us an offer.

Hope you have something
interesting for me.

"Interrogation Room 4"

Hi.
- Hey there, handsome.

Wow, it's been ages since
I've seen you in uniform.

What's up, Dad?

Careful, squirt!
Easy does it...

Congrats, Edri!

How's it going, Daddio?

How are you, Hadas?
- Great, and you?

Congratulations!
- Thank you.

You look great.
- Thanks.

How old is he?
- He'll be one month old tomorrow.

Congrats.

Marlon Brando.

Come.

I got stuck in traffic.

Where's Tom?
-I tried convincing her. It was a hard "no".

She'll get over it.

Let's have a look.

LINE IN THE SAND

Thanks.
- Thank you.

Leave him alone, Kobi, he's asleep.
- But he kicked the blanket off.

Edri, never touch a sleeping baby.
You'll know when he gets cold.

You were just like that with Tom.
- I bet he was.

Were you at the "Heart of Nahariya" sales event?
-Yes, it looks amazing.

They start building this summer.

This little guy will have a
room with a sea view someday.

You're returning to Tel Aviv, right?
- For now.

Until Alon gets approved
for studying in Washington.

Wow, that's awesome.
What an adventure.

Reuven!

There he is.

You look great.

How do you feel?
- Good, thank God.

When do you rejoin us?
- Soon, soon.

Miss me already?
- Of course. -Reuven!

How are you? -How's it going, kiddo?
- Need a chair?

No, a beer.

Say... what's that
I hear about HR?

Yep, I start next week.

Heard you joined a course, figured
it's Investigations. Why HR?

Good afternoon and happy holiday

to the station commander and
the Nahariya Police family.

I'm honored to take part in
this traditional festivity,

and this year, even more so.

I'd like to mark the important
achievement of the station,

mainly that of the Intel
Investigations team

led by Alon Shenhav...

who tenaciously fought and
managed to bring serenity

back to our wonderful Nahariya.

I'd also like to congratulate
team member Reuven Peretz.

Reuven, are you
here? There he is.

Reuven was wounded in this
campaign, but he's here with us.

You know, police officers sometimes
have to pay a personal price,

and it's not to be
taken for granted.

I'd really like to wish you and all
wounded officers, a quick recovery.

Shavuot holiday is when we
harvest the fruit of our labor,

and so, I'm proud to
announce that this brave team

is invited to the
upcoming award ceremony

to receive the inspector general's
Outstanding National Unit badge.

As you all know,

one of our officers recently
suffered some serious allegations,

and I believe that especially
in times like these

it's crucial to have
officers like yourselves

who bring great honor

to both the station and
the entire police force.

Here's to you. -Cheers.
- Happy holiday.

Miki...

Meet district commander Shmuel
Weinberg. My wife, Miki.

Nice to meet you.

I gather you're to thank
for Alon's arrival here.

He's persuasive.

Miki also led the money laundering case.
-Nice.

You attacked from both sides.

Where does it stand?
- I'm off the case,

but I heard it's coming along nicely.
- Very well.

Just make sure he prepares
a speech for the ceremony.

A speech, huh?
- Reuven, come here.

I'll be coming to the award
ceremony without the crutch.

After what you've achieved,
the crutch is a badge of honor.

I'd like to discuss some changes...
- Of course,

we're going to have a
proper farewell talk.

Why did Weinberg say I'm
due for a farewell talk?

Reuven, I was going to talk
with you after the holiday.

You're retiring me?!

You know it's not my call.

Given your age and your injury...
- I'm almost done with rehab!

Reuven, let it go for now.

You got good news,
you should be happy.

We'll talk it over after
the holiday, I promise.

It's for his own good.

What would he do here? Sit in
an office and answer calls?

He can't return to the field
given his injury and his age.

Moreover, what the station
needs now is fresh blood,

young, driven people to
uphold your big achievement.

And seeing as how the three
of us are all here together...

The inspector general approved your
studies in the US, as promised.

But if you leave, the station
has no Investigations unit.

We're left with one detective
and one intel coordinator,

which leaves us very vulnerable.

We don't know if and when
Ezra's successor will rise,

or if he's got connections in
jail, there are many scenarios.

You guys got the boll
rolling, but if it stops,

Nahariya will quickly
be back at square one.

I'm asking you

to stay and re-build the station's
Intel Investigations array.

I got approved to hire 12
detectives, and a very big budget.

You'd have our full support.

Look, I...

I'm surprised, wasn't
expecting this...

but it's not only my decision.

I promised my wife and daughter
we're moving back to Tel Aviv.

Listen, we'll accept and
understand whatever you decide.

But with all due respect
to personal advancement,

you've got a responsibility
to finish what you've started.

Trust me, Tel Aviv, the US...

they're not going anywhere.

Ezra!

When do I get out?

If we go for a trial...
- Forget the trial.

First, I want outta here.

You can't, Maor, this
isn't like last time.

You can't make bail
with these allegations.

Detention alone could last a year,
and that's even before a conviction.

But I don't want it
to come to that, Maor.

You know me. I don't give up,
I fight for you tooth and nail,

but the truth is this
case doesn't look good.

You face serious allegations -
witnesses to an attempted m*rder.

He should be
thankful to be alive.

I suggest a plea bargain.

We'll claim self-defense

which will hopefully
shorten your term.

Where's Bauman?
- Maor, that's not the point right now.

Is he outside?

He was released from
hospital yesterday.

He hasn't been indicted
yet, but please, drop it.

Forget about him.
- Who put me in here?

Hand-cuffed?

I'll never forget who
put me in this situation.

Never.

Who's this?

This is my bunk.

Get up!

That's your bunk.

Getting approval to
visit him wasn't easy.

Nobody but his family
knows he's here.

I'll wait here.

"Hospital - Ward C"

Hi.
- Hi.

How do you feel?
- Great.

They tore me apart in
physiotherapy, but I'm fine.

Hug? -Sure.

I'm so sorry!

You jerk...

What's new? Still
live in Nahariya?

We're moving back
to Tel Aviv soon.

And probably move
abroad after that.

My dad's taking some
course in the US.

What about you? When
will you be released?

The doctors said I already could,
but I'll stick it out till the trial.

What trial?

Your dad didn't tell you?

We staged a situation so we can catch...
-Yeah, I know.

So I'm supposed to
testify against him.

Why?

It's enough that my dad forced you into this.
-Nobody forced me,

it was my call.

These people tried to ruin my life.
I've always been scared of them.

Thanks to me, he'll be in jail.

That's why I'm also...

trying to join the police force.

Your dad didn't tell you?

No.

After my army discharge
I'll probably start tryouts.

Your dad is helping me
with the medical stuff.

Aren't you scared?

Not anymore.

When you return,

will you come visit me?

We'll meet on the beach.
- Cool.

I'll bring beer.

Did it go well?

Who's calling?
- Grandma.

Answer her, be nice.

Yeah, Mom?

Alon, how many people can you
bring to the award ceremony?

I don't know yet.

Then find out, Inbal wants
to bring the kids along.

Mom, it's not suitable for kids.

Why not? Find out
and let me know.

I've heard enough. So
this is your suspect?

You think an "outstanding officer"
would lay expl*sive devices?

It's one of them.
- We'd have picked up a clue.

We've been tapping their phones
for a month, and we've got nothing.

I believe Rosilio took you for
a spin just to get leniency.

He's scum.
-Why did he target Shenhav of all people?

What if he's not lying

and those cops did place
expl*sives in a residential area

like some gangsters in uniform?

I see your point, but I
don't believe they did it

and it doesn't matter

because our wiretapping
warrant expires in three days

and we close up shop. We
can already pack it in.

How could three
more days help us?

Did the landlord get back to you?
- Yes, we have to sign the contract.

But we'll both have to drive to Tel Aviv for that.
-Okay.

We leave just when
things get normal here.

We haven't even been to the beach.
- You guys haven't.

We can stay a bit longer.

What do you mean?

We can stay another year.

What are you talking
about? What about the US?

Weinberg suggested
I postpone it.

Wants me to stay here
and rebuild the unit.

Properly this time, with
a budget and manpower.

Do you want to?

I don't know. What do you say?

At least you'd get
to enjoy this town.

Are you serious, Dad?
- No, he's not.

Hey, that's my principal.

Sigal!
- Hey!

Nice to meet you, I'm Miki.
- Hi. -I've heard a lot about you.

This is Naor.
- Nice to meet you.

I wanted to call and thank you
for all your help with Tom,

but then this whole mess started, so...
- It's fine. Glad I could help.

You've saved us. Thank you.

Enjoy the holiday.
- Thanks.

Happy holiday.
- Same here. -Bye.

She's cute.

How're things, Reuven?
- Fine, thank God.

Are you back on the job?
- Not yet, perhaps after the holiday.

Good, a little rest can't hurt.

I'm good, thanks.

Hello?
-Hey, Reuven, it's Romano from the National Police.

Did I wake you up?
- Of course not.

How're you doing, Romano?
- Good, and you?

I hear they're retiring you.

So they say.
- I don't get why.

Instead of using veterans'
knowledge, they push them out.

I don't know if you're interested,
but seeing how you work,

it's clear you've still
got plenty to contribute,

so if you want to
postpone your retirement,

I'd like to involve you in a case we're handing in Nahariya.
-Gladly.

What's it about?

You're familiar with it: the
expl*sives meant for Maor Ezra.

We've received very
interesting intel.

What intel?

I can't discuss it over the phone,
but it's something we must look into.

Gladly.
-So come by our offices and we'll talk.

I'll have the secretary set up a meeting after the holiday.
-Great.

And Reuven, mum's the word.
- Sure thing.

It's Shenhav's
number. Turn it up.

How's it going, Reuven?
- Fine. Where are you?

At the station, why?
- We need to talk.

Is it urgent?

I'll be there in a few minutes.

See? -It doesn't mean anything.
- Sure it does.

He felt in danger and
called his accomplice.

Why else would he call him?

Alon is still his commander.
Another unit turned to him,

so he felt obligated
to fill him in.

Did he say who tipped him off?
- No, just that there's new intel.

He wants us to talk.

Is Poleg in on it?
- Doubt it,

but what worries me is that he
asked to keep it under wraps.

Did he ask for your doctor's approval
that you're fit to return to work?

Of course not.

Something's fishy.

Why? -Why would he call you of all people?
-Why not?

I'm the most experienced one there.
- Reuven, get real,

why would he pick a wounded
officer who's about to be retired?

And suppose he does
want you, why hush-hush

and not formally, through Poleg?

Think he's setting me up?

Either he or Police
Investigations.

I can't go to jail,
Alon, I have a kid.

Relax, we don't know anything yet.
- Nobody's going to jail.

We must find out who
squealed and what they know.

Why call Alon?!

You, a seasoned detective, should've known it's a trap!
-Enough!

Are you sure it's
Police Investigations?

Looks like it. It's
their type of trick.

We have to be sure and
find out what they know.

How? Know someone there?
- Nope.

We can't talk to anyone, certainly
not Police Investigations!

We have to be on top of things,
unless you wanna get arrested.

Forget Police Investigations.

We need someone connected
who we can trust.

What about your dad?
- My dad?

Think about it, he has ties
with all the police veterans,

maybe not in Police Investigations,
but he'll know who to turn to.

Forget it.
-Alon, he's the only one who won't betray us.

Look who's here, Ovad.
- Hi...

Alon, what are you doing here?

Came to see you fish.
- Everything okay?

Is it Miki?

What then?

Know anyone at Police Investigations?
- Why Police Investigations?

Catching him wasn't easy, Dad.

He was too careful.

We needed to trigger
his response.

The SUV?

That too.

Dad, it was the only way.

Otherwise, it would never end.

Who helped you?

Reuven and Edri from my team.

And Yoav.

Police Investigations
opened an investigation?

That's what I need you to find
out. I think our lines are tapped.

If they are, we must find
out what they've got on us.

I know someone I can talk to.

Not a word of this to your Mom.

It'll break her heart.

Happy holiday!

"Outstanding Unit Commander"

Am I dragging you to Tel
Aviv against your will?

Not at all.

Why?

Your sister thinks I am.

If you really want to stay here,

I need to know that.

We're not staying.

Are you sure?

Yes.

We're done here.

Ezra?

What's that?

Show me.

Oh, boy...

How'd you know I'd
like some chocolate?

Wait...

Here... so you don't
b*tch about it.

Zion, what's wrong?

Guard! He's choking!

What happened?
-He ate something and started coughing.

Someone gave a statement.

Who?

Who else knows about this?
- Nobody,

only Reuven's friend.

Some officer from the station
is collaborating with them.

One of your friends
must've babbled about it.

Should I hold him?
- I've got this.

Your first child, right?
- What gave it away?

You're both here.

On the second child
it's just the mom,

and with the third,
it's Grandma.

I need him, he reassures me.

So is everything okay?
- Absolutely.

Did the hospital say anything about his heart?
-No, why?

I heard a slight murmur. I'm sure
it's nothing, many infants have it.

I'll refer you for an echo
cardiogram just to be safe.

It's a standard exam,
no need to worry.

Sorry, gotta take this call.

Alon.
-Edri, is Wednesday's accident report ready?

Yes.
- Good, send it to me.

Not urgent.
- Will do.

Hadas, I gotta dash, I'm
sorry. Will you be okay?

Thank you, Doc.

The baby is fine, don't worry.

Maybe Berger told some cop.
- He'd never.

So how did a cop
give a statement?

How did he know?
From thin air?

Perhaps someone here
unintentionally babbled.

What's your problem?

You tell me.

How can we be sure Romano
actually called you?

And right before you retire, nonetheless.
-Edri!

Come, see if I'm wearing a wire!

Wanna frisk me, Edri?!

You're right, Reuven, I'm sorry.

I apologize.

We're not looking
for a turncoat,

but someone outside this room
knows something he shouldn't.

Rosilio!

Police Investigations
arrested him.

How would he know? Did
you say anything to him?

Of course not, but he saw me take
the g*ns from the evidence room.

Why didn't you tell me?!

He saw nothing, he came
in as I was leaving.

But he also saw Reuven
and me near Bauman's car.

Must've put two
and two together.

He's cutting a deal
with them, Alon.

If that's all, then we're fine.

If all they've got is some
crooked cop's statement,

then they've got zilch.

They haven't arrested us
because there's on evidence.

That explains Romano's setup:

They want us to incriminate
ourselves through a phone call.

We haven't said anything
incriminating so far.

We just need to ensure
that we've left no traces.

They'll realize they're
mistaken and move on.

Anything left in this apartment?
- It's clean.

I've hidden it outside, nobody will ever find it.
-No, no...

We must get rid of everything,
leave nothing behind.

Alon?

Sorry, did I wake you up?
- It's okay.

Smells like a bonfire in here.

Yeah, some kids set a shop on fire.
- Oh.

Well, hang your clothes outside.
I'll do a wash tomorrow.

"Edri, is Wednesday's
accident report ready?"

Well?
- Other than that call, nothing.

Okay, so we've barked up
the wrong tree. Happens.

Not necessarily, they're just
too clever to talk on the phone.

It is what it is. We've got nothing
to justify taking this any further.

Go home. Tomorrow I'll
assign you to another case.

We've got plenty of
work. Good night.

Wait, Rafa, I'd like
to try one more thing.

Got the checks?
- Yep. They're all here.

What?

What...?

Are you bummed out?
- About what, the apartment?

About the whole situation.

Not at all.

Damn, I forgot my makeup,
is my eye shadow here?

What's this?
- Let me see that.

Nothing, some police doodle.

It's gotta be here...

Hello?
- Shenhav, where are you?

Driving to Tel Aviv, I told you
we're signing the lease today.

Come back, I need you here ASAP.

Okay.

What is it?

National Headquarters Field
Security need you guys urgently.

I hope you didn't
get into any trouble.

In Jerusalem?
- Yes.

Take the Skoda, it
has a full gas tank.

Off you go.

So, how's little Peanut?

He's sweet...

Really...

But he keeps us awake at night.

Poor Dasi...

She gets up five times a night.

It'll get better, it'll pass.

First they're colicky,
then they teethe...

The fun part is yet to come.

But I love how he smells.

I sniff him all day long.

Once he starts smiling,
you'll be in heaven.

When does that start?

b*stards.
- They knew right away.

They'll talk about
diapers the whole ride.

It's the car. We should've
wired Alon's car.

We were lucky they even
let us use this car.

Hi, Adva.

Yoav, Poleg's been looking
everywhere for you.

What is it?
- Dunno, he said it's urgent.

Come on.

There he is!

Come on in!

Folks, let's get started.

I'd like to raise a glass of coke in honor of Yoav...
-The wuss!

Who's leaving us and joining HR,

and to reward him with the most
useful item in his new line of work.

It'll last the entire day.
- Cheers! -Cheers!

"Does he sleep with you?" -Well?
- "I sleep on the couch."

"I got him a cradle, mattress,
everything by the book,

"took me two hours
to assemble..."

They'll be in Jerusalem
in 20 minutes.

We have to call it off

before they actually
reach Field Security.

Let's have them come here.
- What do you mean?

Let's get exposed, we've
got nothing to lose.

Are you serious?
-Either they panic and blurt something out,

or they arrive here
and we send them home.

Hello?

Why would Police Investigations
be looking for you?

Police Investigations?

Beats me.

What is it?
-They called, said there's been a mix up,

and that they're expecting
you, not Field Security.

Fine, we're near Jerusalem.

Keep me updated, let me
know what's going on.

No problem.

A handcuff gesture.

Bingo.

Why keep chasing after criminals? You've done your share.
-Yep.

Your health is more important.

Superintendent Alon Shenhav
and sergeant major Yaacov Edri,

you're under arrest
for attempted m*rder

and laying expl*sive devices.

Anything you say can and
will be used against you...

Hey, Ovad, what's up?

What?! Why?!

Huh?
