HOT Presents Previously... Who's the officer in the photo?

That's Atlas.

He's the one who put poor Yossi Morag in jail.

-You haven't heard anything from him?

-No.

Yarden Deri.

The entire defense relied on his testimony.

Yarden Deri fled the country before the trial.

-Where is he?

-Who?

Yarden!

Where is he?

I went over the forensics photos from Morag's cell, something was written on the wall.

Looks like someone erased it.

-Please stop.

-Yarden!

Why did they paint the cell so soon?

Is that really the procedure?

The police got here in ten minutes.

Yarden!

They were here before anyone else.

A few words, friends.

De Langa, show some respect.

There's a saying in Forensics, that Superintendent Atlas likes to recite day and night.

The Exchange Principle.

A perpetrator at a crime scene will always leave something, and always take something with him.

Isn't that right, Atlas?

But this principle doesn't apply only to criminals It applies to us too, the cops and detectives who see hundreds if not thousands of crime scenes during their service.

And at every scene, they leave behind a trace of their own innocence, and humanity, and take with them a hint of evil.

But you, Atlas, still have faith in people.

And that's no simple task, my friends.

A round of applause for Atlas!

Stand up, you deserve it.

Superintendent Atlas, I award you the Medal of Service for your extraordinary achievements in advancing the Police Department's goals and your outstanding perseverance and devotion.

Let's hear some applause!

HOT and Herzelia Studios present THE EXCHANGE PRINCIPLE Created by: Noah Stollman Oded Davidoff Director: Oded Davidoff What is it, Dita?

Never mind...

I'll come back later.

I'm in court all day, so if you have something to say, now's the time.

It's about my visit to Ayalon Prison yesterday, I told you, because of the photos...

It's fine, Goni handled it.

We couldn't wait any longer.

-"Handled it?"

I thought-- -The case is closed, Dita.

Our recommendations have been submitted.

We've moved on.

Remember Yarden Deri?

Morag's alibi, who was wanted for questioning and fled the country?

What about him?

Turns out he visited Morag in jail less than a month ago.

I have the reports.

He's in the country.

Not exactly.

At the moment, he's in the morgue.

Yarden Deri's body was found a few hours ago in a backyard in the Ezra neighborhood, shot at close range.

They also found a former police officer by the name of Atlas at the scene.

But he wasn't shot, he's alive and well.

-Atlas from Forensics?

-Atlas from the junk heap.

The cops at the scene said they couldn't tell if the smell was coming from him, or-- Hey, hey, excuse me!

Atlas was a senior police officer who never received proper treatment, and it's all very unfortunate.

But what was Atlas doing there?

Just let it go, would you?

Goni is following the investigation and I'm sure you have more important things to do.

-I'm sorry.

-Never mind.

What a stench.

What is that?

-Compost.

All the shit flows here.

-But why treat him like a criminal?

-What do you want me to do?

-Why, he's not a crook!

-He's a suspect, that's what he is.

Stay away from him, OK?

Hey, what's up, buddy?

What's going on?

I can't believe it.

What an asshole!

He handcuffed you?

Come here.

Unbelievable.

How did you end up here, Atlas?

You doing our job for us?

Someone has to.

Look what I brought you.

Coffee and pastry.

Here you go!

No?

Look, Atlas, I know you have nothing to do with this, but you see that kid over there?

He's running the investigation.

His name is Ben-Yakar.

He has no idea who you are and he wants to bring you in.

De Langa asked that you don't speak to anyone.

He'll meet you at the station.

Don't talk to anyone but him, OK?

Shelly, he doesn't need the whole closet.

Just a shirt and pants so he looks decent.

He won't take them, I know him.

You're wasting your time.

-Will you be all right?

-Yes.

-Okay, I'm off.

-I'll see you out.

It's all right, don't worry.

"Murder suspect."

What else does your father have in store for us?

-Shouldn't we go see him?

-Go see him?

You're not to go near him!

The last thing I need is for you to get mixed up in this.

Do I make myself clear?

What is that, a joint?

Are you out of your mind?

You think?

Why not?

I thought all hope was lost.

Not yet.

A police officer was just here, in our house.

Eviatar... You're my anchor.

You're the only stable thing in my life.

-Do you understand that?

-Yeah.

Eviatar, one is enough.

Eviatar!

Eviatar... Eviatar, one is enough!

Shelly!

Wait... Did you have to say that to him, in front of everyone?

-Couldn't you let it pass just once?

-I'm sorry, I shouldn't have, but I saw him eat one dessert after another... -How much can he eat?

-I'm going after him.

He has no phone, no money, he probably doesn't even know the way home.

-I'm going.

-Shelly, don't go... Let go of my arm!

Don't go!

What happened?

It's okay, she dislocated her shoulder.

It happens.

She's okay.

-De Langa... -Calm down.

Go pay the check, -we'll take her to ER.

-No ER, Atlas, calm down.

Shelly... Shelly?

Just relax.

Relax, I know what I'm doing.

I know what I'm doing.

Count to three, Shelly.

-One... -One... Two...

Okay?

Yeah.

Hey.

It's good to see you.

First of all, your fingerprints tested negative.

Ben-Yakar knows you didn't do the shooting.

That's reassuring.

I went to see Shelly.

She sent you some clothes.

Eviatar was there too.

They're worried about you.

They send regards.

Thank you.

Can you tell me what you were you doing in that junkyard?

Because I still don't get it.

-Yarden Deri called me.

-You mean he called Guzman's mobile.

Yes, he sounded strange.

He said they were on to him and he asked me to help him.

I guess he thought I was Guzman...

Sounds like he was in trouble.

Why not call the cops?

I did.

They asked for my address.

So I decided to go myself.

Out of concern.

And I figured while I was at it, I'd finally hear the testimony he never gave, his famous alibi.

What for, Atlas?

You can talk freely, it's just us here.

I heard the forensics team at the scene.

They said Yarden Deri was shot point-blank with an unidentified gun.

-Remind you of something?

-No, what should it remind me of?

We were so sure of ourselves, so sure that Yossi Morag murdered the judge, but what if we were wrong, De Langa?

Atlas, I swear, I have no idea what you're talking about right now.

My professional opinion was given under pressure.

I take it back.

-Do you hear what you're saying?

-De Langa, we convicted the wrong man.

There's a connection between the Ahituv scene and the Yarden Deri scene.

The same bullet, same pattern, maybe the same killer.

Come on, Atlas... We need to reexamine the whole case.

I'll help you if you want.

Just you and me.

Like the old days, De Langa.

Listen, Atlas.

You don't look so good.

You don't smell so good either.

You're manic, I can see it in your eyes.

You didn't sleep all night and God knows when you last showered.

Change your clothes, wash yourself off.

Try to look decent.

You want someone to listen to you?

The way you look, nobody will piss in your direction.

Am I free to go?

I want to help you, Atlas, but you have to cut the crap.

Think about Eviatar.

About Shelly.

You should've seen his face.

"My dad's under arrest?

My dad's in trouble with the police?"

Am I free to go?

Atlas... drop it.

Take the clothes, at least.

Who let him go?

You?

He's a Superintendent, Ben-Yakar.

He's seen more than you and your generation ever will, so show a little respect.

He's wanted for questioning, De Langa, so what do I do, send out a patrol car?

I questioned him.

Is that good enough?

I'll send you his testimony if you want.

By carrier pigeon.

He's your buddy, huh?

I know dogs that are treated better!

-How's it going?

-What's up?

Excuse me...?

I think there's a connection between the Ahituv and the Yarden murder cases.

We need to reopen the investigation.

Yes, De Langa told me about your conversation.

That's very a serious allegation.

We were under unthinkable pressure.

The whole country was watching us.

Is this based on a gut feeling, or do you have something more conclusive?

Some new piece of evidence....

It's based on 17 years of experience in Forensics.

There's a similarity between the crime scenes, Racheli.

Point-blank head shot, no struggle.

A cold, calculated murder, both Ahituv and Yarden.

Ahituv was a cold, calculated murder?

Yossi Morag threatened to slaughter him and that's just what he did.

And that's what we demonstrated in court.

We worked together well.

We collaborated on thousands of cases.

We can do this together, I just need access to the material, to the morgue.

I need to get to the archives... Atlas, Atlas...

I want to help you, really I do.

But there's something called Res Judicata, remember?

"Once litigation is terminated, that action is concluded for all time, incontrovertibly and with absolute finality."

Otherwise it never ends.

In "the State of Israel vs. Morag" the verdict is final and nobody, nobody will reopen the case.

It won't happen.

So because of Res Judicata, you won't admit your mistake?

I don't make mistakes.

That way I don't have to admit them.

Go home, Atlas.

Go home and clean yourself up.

You'll feel better.

Hi, Atlas.

My name is Dita Hispin.

We met on the bench outside the DA's office, remember?

And then you stole my tag.

You're mistaken.

Sorry... that's not why I'm here.

It's just that I heard you talking to Racheli and...

I know something about Yarden Deri you might like to hear.

I was in Morag's jail cell and... he drew something on the wall, before he died, but it was immediately erased, and the next day they repainted the cell.

I have the pictures here.

-Go to the police.

-I tried, they're not interested.

I thought you might like to take a look.

Me?

I tried to talk to Racheli, she doesn't want to hear about it either, but there has to be a connection between Yarden visiting Morag, and the fact that he's dead too.

When did he visit him?

On April 22nd, I have the registry here.

It was two weeks before Yossi's suicide, and during that time he's in high spirits, you can see it on the cameras.

I have footage from the visiting room, you see Yarden, you see the meeting, I can show you.

And... you see something else, too.

Another visit.

Who?

I don't know.

His details are illegible, maybe on purpose.

But he's on the disc.

So we can watch it together.

Together?

If it's all right with you.

Where?

At my place?

Or...

Wherever is convenient for you.

Your place?

Is this the Urban Improvement Department?

What are you doing here?

I have about 50 traffic violations to dispute, I thought maybe you could help me.

Yeah, right.

What's with Atlas?

You were right.

He didn't take the clothes.

He's such a pain.

Then I thought to myself, enough!

Atlas, Atlas, Atlas all day long.

I'm fed up with him.

I figured, Shelly needs to go out for a change, clear her head, have some fun.

No, Eviatar's coming home and my car is here, so...

I'll take you wherever you want.

Do I have to beg?

Yes.

I'm begging.

C'mon, let's get a drink.

You deserve it.

I'll just turn on the light... -What is this place?

-You'll see.

Nice.

Do you bring all your victims here?

You got me.

And this is your idea of fun?

You're going to show me your moves?

I figured we deserve to let off some steam, you and me.

It's my friend's place.

I have connections.

-Your turn.

-Forget it.

I'm not touching that.

Of course not, it's a 9mm Glock.

It'll blow your arm off.

For you I have something a bit more delicate, a 22mm Beretta.

Fire off the whole clip.

If you don't like it we'll try something else.

Four finger grip.

Bend your knees.

Okay, whenever you're... Who taught you to shoot?

Atlas?

Looks like you need glasses, Mrs. Atlas.

See?

-You gave me blanks, huh?

-Never.

Genius... Another round?

Yossi must've been really angry.

His best friend disappears right before the trial.

So Yarden comes back to finally give his testimony, Yossi is happy, and two weeks later he kills himself.

Why?

Maybe it has to do with his second visitor.

Who's he?

I don't know.

And I told you, you can't tell from the registry.

And Yossi doesn't seem to know him either.

Wait, pause it for a moment.

We could check if there are cameras in the prison parking lot, maybe we can identify his car.

I know a prison guard, I can ask him.

Your mother's a judge, isn't she?

Talia Hispin.

I knew her.

"I'm not here to do justice, I'm here to make order."

Yeah, I like that line.

Is your father a judge too?

A defense attorney.

Was.

So... what do you say?

About what?

I don't know... About everything.

You testified in court, do you think it might've been a mistake?

Good night, Dita.

I can help.

Really.

I want to.

Okay, Dita Hispin.

If I need you, I'll look for you on the bench.

I think what you're doing is very brave.

Really.

I haven't gone out in ages.

Not with friends, not with coworkers, nothing.

And even if I dared to step outside, -I'd be overcome with anxiety.

-That you'd see him?

Yeah, that he'd pass by, or... that I'd see him lying in some alley.

It paralyzed me.

-I'm terrible, aren't I?

-Not at all.

I felt the same way.

That's he's giving us all the finger.

Me, the police, the whole world.

But Shelly, today I realized he's not all right, really, he's sick, he needs help.

You're right.

It'll be okay.

We'll deal with it together.

We'll figure something out, don't worry.

I had fun tonight.

Shelly... Good night.

She's right.

I shouldn't have yelled at him in front of everyone.

So you yelled at him, so what?

You're his dad.

You blew a fuse.

Big deal.

He can hole up in his room with a loaf of bread.

A whole loaf!

And go through the whole thing slice after slice.

Like a swarm of locusts.

He's such a pig...

Listen, Atlas.

Hold on for another two weeks.

Two weeks!

You'll give your opinion in court and that'll be it, we'll go back to our normal lives.

One last push, Atlas.

Two weeks, bro.

Atlas!

Wait a minute.

Atlas.

Wait a minute, man.

Stop it!

Calm down, man!

Calm down, bro.

-Calm down.

-Do they think I'm an idiot?

That they can fool me, with their medals and pins and pathetic ceremonies?

Listen, Atlas.

You're the best forensic investigator in Israel.

You hear me?

And everybody knows it.

Does anyone deserve this medal more than you do?

Atlas, you earned it.

Relax.

That shoe print wasn't at the scene.

I don't know where it came from.

What do you mean, it wasn't there?

How did it get there?

That's why it wasn't in the report.

It wasn't there.

Our main piece of evidence.

Do you hear what you're saying?

I'm losing my memory.

Listen, listen...

Listen, Atlas.

You were at the scene, you took the shoe print and put it in the storeroom.

You, Atlas?

You wouldn't go by the book?

You think?

Enough of these crazy ideas.

You'll end up setting a murderer free with your nonsense.

That's enough, buddy.

Just hold on, brother.

Two more weeks.

Eviatar?

You call this fixing a door?

It doesn't even close!

You said you'd fix it, so fix it properly.

Eviatar?

-Are you Eviatar?

-Yes.

I wasn't sure I had the right address.

I'm Yarin, a friend of your dad's.

From the police?

Where else?

I'm a Surveillance Officer at HQ.

Your dad called and asked me to take you to him.

Don't be scared, get in.

Want to see my ID?

Here.

Get in, don't be scared.

Just a sec.

C'mon, get in.

On the next episode...

Your dad's a brave man if he's doing what I think he's doing.

But he's got no idea what he's getting into.

-Is this about Ahituv, by any chance?

-You're obsessed, Dan.

Yeah, I need to ease off.

They killed a judge.

This is a syndicate.

It's the big leagues.
