Hot presents Previously...

I have an unidentified male in his twenties.

-What's the problem?

-The problem is he doesn't belong here.

Atlas, do you have something to say?

No.

We skipped you last week, too.

Nothing to get off your chest?

Who's there?

Give these negatives to your father.

Tell him they're from Yarin Freid.

What you're carrying is classified material from a police investigation, you get me?

I had him tailed and I uncovered evidence...

I'm looking for the initial forensics report from the Ahituv murder scene.

The shoeprint wasn't at the scene.

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

-What's this?

-The missing report.

I hid it.

I'm meeting some security officer from the district court.

Right before his eyes.

You should've told me about Atlas before the trial.

You didn't know, Racheli?

That's he's a ticking bomb that would blow up in our faces a year later?

No, I didn't know!

-It's strong.

-Yes.

It's like a cord... -A halyard!

-What's a halyard?

The rope you use to raise a sail!

That whole investigation was one long series of lies and delusions.

I don't know what De Langa was thinking, putting me behind the wheel like some crash test dummy!

I watched the reenactment.

I don't remember seeing you there.

"A tremendous explosion rocked central Tel Aviv at 8:45 this morning.

"The crowded no.

5 bus, making its way "from the Central Bus Station to the north of Tel Aviv, was destroyed "by an apparent suicide bomber carrying a powerful explosive... "In one of the most brutal attacks against Israeli civilians.

"Our correspondent is at the scene of the carnage."

"What took place here this morning will be remembered "as one of the most devastating attacks this country has known..." Yes, Batya.

I want you to see something.

I have an unidentified male in his twenties.

-Can you look at his for a sec?

-What's the problem?

What's the problem?

The problem is he doesn't belong here!

I mentioned it in my report.

The explosive contained metal fragments, half the bodies here have these kinds of entry wounds.

There's also hemorrhaging, blast injuries, ruptured organs...

I don't understand what you're-- Blast injuries don't look like this!

Where did he come from?

The paperwork isn't clear, people have been coming in and out all day.

I can't take it any more.

Here.

Problem solved.

-Are you okay?

-You have amazing instincts.

I have army buddies who aren't as fast as you.

I'm so sorry.

I don't usually... You jumped on me in the dark, I just... Do you want some eye drops?

No thanks.

Just the towel.

-Thanks.

-Ice?

No... Fuck... You know where I was for the past 24 hours?

At the police station.

I was a witness to Ben-Yakar's murder.

You work with him, don't you?

Don't you want to know what happened?

-The news called it a hit-and-run.

-Hit-and-run, my ass.

I told them so, on the beach.

Then they took me in and I testified again, to a different detective each time.

First De Langa, then that poodle, Abulafia, They wrote it all down, said thank you, so I leave the station and what do I hear on the radio?

Police are looking for a bunch of rich kids, out for a joyride in Daddy's new Jeep.

Then they interview a psychologist who talks about how rotten kids today are, with no values or morals.

So I call De Langa and what does he tell me?

"Listen, Gabi, you talked to us about Lebanon, about the war.

"So I'm not sure what you saw is what really happened."

De Langa said that?

I know what I saw, and what I saw was a jeep plowing into the guy like a tank in a corn field!

Talking to me me about some rich kids on acid.

You listen to me.

This was no accident.

It was a targeted assassination.

Gabi, why wouldn't De Langa want to investigate?

A police officer is dead, the whole precinct is up in arms.

Why did you and that poor Ben-Yakar come to me?

-Because of Ahituv, no?

-Yes, because you tailed him.

And who cracked the case?

Who?

And then got promoted?

And had his pretty face in all the papers and on all the talk shows?

Who?

Wait, are you telling me there's a connection between De Langa, Ahituv and Ben-Yakar?

-That's exactly what I'm telling you.

-I want to believe you, but if you can't prove that connection there's no way to build a case.

What's that?

I'm done lying.

-Hey.

-Hey.

Coffee?

What?

No, I don't think that's a good idea.

Coffee isn't a good idea?

No, not the coffee.

-Want me to drop you off?

-No, I'll manage.

Well... bye.

Bye.

No problem, Your Honor, I'm just wondering what this is about.

Let's discuss this face to face.

Not over the phone.

Okay, but give me something, a hint, so I can come prepared.

You said you're concerned.

I'm curious.

I was asked to look into a possible criminal act.

Nothing recent.

It was over ten years ago.

Over ten years ago?

I don't know the exact nature of the crime but it's a very serious accusation.

And since it concerns someone close to you, I'm asking you.

Close to me?

Who?

Not over the phone.

Come to my house, we'll have coffee, I'll explain in detail... Don't be so discreet!

"We'll have coffee."

Who is it?!

It's your friend Atlas.

Now do you understand?

Now will you be so kind as to meet me?

"We'll have coffee."

Who is it?!

It's your friend Atlas.

Now do you understand?

Hello.

Can I help you?

Yes, I have a meeting with Dita Hispin.

-Sorry, you can't go in.

-Fine.

Dita!

-You can't go in.

-Dita!

-Get out, please!

-Dita!

Sir, please leave.

Dita!

Please leave.

-Dita!

-Out!

Dita!

Dita!

Dita Hispin!

Your soul-mate is outside, Hispin.

Maybe you should go see him before they dump him in the recycling bin.

Drop dead.

Dita Hispin!

Atlas.

Good morning.

-Good morning.

-Wait a second.

How can I help you?

-I'm fine, I'm... in a bit of a hurry.

-I'm sorry, I should've listened to you.

I want to hear what you have to say.

Come in, we'll talk.

-Have you had breakfast?

Coffee?

-No, I'm fine.

You think there's a connection between the murder scenes, don't you?

That the Ahituv case should be reexamined.

Fine.

I can call De Langa and ask him to join us.

I'll make sure he listens to you.

De Langa won't listen and neither will you.

You're here, aren't you?

Looking for Dita, right?

Have you told her about your suspicions?

You're mistaken.

Atlas, let's put an end to this.

Let's talk.

You'll feel much better afterwards.

We'll sit down and talk, you can get it all off your chest.

You'll feel better, I promise.

You're mistaken.

Atlas.

Atlas!

Dita.

Dita!

Were you looking for me?

Are you in touch with former Superintendent Atlas?

What?

I'll spare you the lies so you don't perjure yourself.

He was here today, looking for you.

I'm sure you heard.

Don't look so terrified.

I won't bite.

Close the door and sit down.

We...

Yes, I'm in touch with him.

You know he's suspected of breaking into our offices with your ID tag.

Yes, I know.

And he's cooked up some crazy story about Morag and Ahituv.

He's obsessed, harassing people left and right and it's only getting worse.

He's getting worse.

Can you tell me where you fit into this bizarre story?

Dita, your mother and I are friends, but there's a limit to what I can do if he drags you down with him.

No, you're right.

So... what's going on with you two?

We met on the bench one morning and he looked so pitiful and filthy and wet from the rain, but there was something about him... never mind... Then he stole my tag... apparently, then I saw him again and he gave it back and... We talked a little.

Then a little more.

And became friends, sort of.

But he didn't mention Ahituv or Morag and I certainly didn't ask.

People here say you have a rich inner life.

-They don't know how right they are.

-I'm sorry, Racheli.

Put an end to it, Dita.

To this "friendship".

Never mind the conflict of interest, it's just... in poor taste.

No, you're right.

-Bad time?

-No, we just finished.

Here's the summary of the Morag Eliran investigation.

In my humble opinion there's no reason not to press charges.

-Did he confess?

-No.

Why, do we need a confession?

He'll get premeditated murder without saying a word.

We're finished here.

You can go now, Dita.

And don't worry, I'll be discreet.

Between you and me, who'd believe me, right?

Yes.

-Thanks.

-Thank you.

-What's up?

-Where's Dita?

She's at work, I spoke to her this morning.

You spoke to her?

How did you reach her?

Why, are you jealous?

Just kidding.

She called our house a while ago, looking for you.

She told Mom you work together.

So I kept her number and called her to ask if she knew where you were.

Oh, and I told her about the pictures.

Are you OK, Dad?

What?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm great.

-Do you have the negatives on you?

-Of course.

But I almost lost them.

De Langa grabbed me outside your caravan and tried to take them by force.

He looked really pissed off.

What's this about, Dad?

What does he want from you?

Forget it, it's so depraved, I don't even know where to begin.

Were you on his boat this morning?

His boat?

Of course not.

What would I be doing there?

Mom said someone broke into his boat and went crazy, broke stuff.

-Now she's pissed, too.

-What else is new... Come on, Dad, what's going on?

Can't you just tell me?

De Langa's uptight because I'm on to something.

Something bad.

Never mind.

Anyway, yes, I was on his boat, I searched it.

Searched?

Mom said it looked more like a pogrom.

A pogrom?

The pogrom started long before I got there.

Never mind.

He's mixed up in something really ugly.

Funny, that's exactly what he said about you.

Of course he did, because he... Never mind, I don't want to mix you up in this.

It's all still theoretical.

Anyway, if what I'm saying is true it'll shake the foundations of the police department.

It'll shake the...

I can't believe it was...

It was right in front of me and I didn't see it.

I...

I don't understand, how didn't I see it?

Can I help you somehow?

Just tell me, I can do it.

Atlas?

I never thanked you for the work you did on the investigation.

I sent a thank-you letter to De Langa and the team, but I understand you resigned.

Nili, I won't take up too much of your time.

I just want to ask you a few questions.

Of course.

About what?

-Your husband's last week.

-What for?

I've been over it so many times.

You move on.

Your husband met with De Langa the week before he died.

-I want to know why.

-I don't remember that.

I'm sorry.

Actually, I have no desire to go back there.

Sorry you came all this way, but if you'd called... Atlas, I could have devoted my whole life to his memory, to wallow in the details of his life, it was very tempting and it's what people expected of me.

But I realized it was a kind of death.

And I chose to live.

Now do you remember?

I'm asking you to leave.

Get out.

Nili, please, I won't go until you talk to me.

I'm begging you.

Ten minutes.

Five.

Three.

How should I know what they talked about?

They were in his study with the door closed.

Did he bring anything?

Photos?

Files?

Did he give him anything?

Why, Atlas?

It won't help, believe me.

You think it will make a difference, that it will set you free, but it won't.

What happened there?

Nili, this is important!

He showed him a letter, that's all I know.

A letter?

What letter?

From whom?

What right do you have to come into my house and shove those horrible pictures in my face?

What kind of person are you?

Who was the letter from?!

Yossi Morag.

Yossi Morag?

What was it, a threat?

I don't know what it said.

Morag sent several letters from jail after Aryeh sentenced him, it happens.

There were a few other prisoners he was in touch with so he wrote back, and this continued after Morag was released.

Hold on, Yossi Morag, who was convicted of your husband's murder, -corresponded with him after his release?

-Yes!

Morag's letters touched his heart.

Remember, he was nominated for the Supreme Court and he needed to show a sympathetic side, that he cared about all types of people, and Yossi Morag exploited that.

With malice.

I don't get it... one second, didn't the prosecution know?

The defense?

And you went along with it?

I found the letter after Morag was convicted.

I went straight to Racheli Lehi and she told me to drop it, that the verdict had been given and there was no point reopening the case because he confessed, Atlas.

They had the evidence, your evidence.

So why do this?

Nili, where's that letter?

Does De Langa have it?

Did he give it to him?

Where is it?

Do you have it?

Where is it?!

-I want to see it.

-I have it.

I'll give it to you.

I'll give it to you.

But I need some time.

I need to go through his papers.

Atlas, it turns out it's not here.

Sorry.

This will tear you apart, I'm telling you from experience.

You have to move on.

De Langa!

Come out, De Langa, I know you're there.

De Langa!

Come out and let's talk!

I don't care what you did, we can still talk.

De Langa!

Atlas, it's me, Dr. Mizrach, remember me?

It's all right, I just want to talk.

We wanted to suggest that you come to us for a little rest.

What do you say?

Who brought you here?

-Did De Langa bring you here?

-No.

Come out, De Langa!

Come out, De Langa, you coward!

Atlas, calm down.

We're only trying to help you.

Where's the letter?

Huh?

Don't look at me like I'm crazy.

Where's the letter, De Langa?

The letter!

Yes, Ahituv and Morag wrote to each other and you covered it up, you and Racheli!

You met him here and he gave you a letter.

Where is it?

Atlas, come with us.

We'll have all the time in the world to talk.

-I'll explain... -Explain it now!

Because it's strange, De Langa, don't you think it's strange?

That he met you and gave you a letter from Yossi Morag a week before he supposedly shot and killed him?

Huh?

You know what he's doing?

Do you?

-You know what this is?

-A piece of rope that you cut off my sail.

I found fibers like these at a murder scene!

Yes, every contact leaves a trace.

Every contact leaves a trace!

Atlas, calm down!

Don't do this!

Not here!

Atlas, calm down!

Not here, then where?

Huh?

Look where we are, De Langa!

Take a good look at where we are.

At the crime scene you faked, And the reenactment you fabricated with the suspect who you framed!

Right here!

You want to know why I met with the judge?

Do you?

He asked to meet me to talk about you.

Enough of your lies, nobody believes that bullshit!

Remember the no.

5 bus?

When we got to the scene after that night, You can't have forgotten because it haunts me every second.

That's what he wanted, to talk about what you did there.

What did I do there?

What did I do?

I told him, I said, no way!

I swear, I almost beat him, the way he talked about you.

I told him: For God's sake, do you know what he went through?

You think it was just the no.

5 bus?

What about the 27 bus?

What about the Slick nightclub?

What about the Poriah Restaurant?

What about all of 2003 and 2004?

When the streets were flowing with blood, when there was no room in the morgue for all the bodies!

So don't come to me ten years later and talk to me about the no.

5 bus.

That's what Ahituv and I talked about.

No letters, no nothing.

He wanted to investigate you and I stopped him.

And then when Ahituv died I said, OK, you got a second chance.

Atlas!

Atlas, calm down!

Atlas, calm down!

Calm down, Atlas, calm down!

Calm down, man!

Atlas, calm down!

Calm down!

In the next episode... What is this place?

You're a sadist!

That's what you are!

Why are you doing this to me?

Wasn't there another testimony, from the grocery store owner?

He was questioned twice but we only have the final testimony.

Are you saying I made it up?

If this is true, it's grounds for rescinding the indictment.

I'm in the middle of a murder investigation and every minute I spend here is another day of perversion of justice.

I'm from the DA's office.

I'm not really supposed to be here.

You're walking on thin ice, Attorney Hispin.

You and De Langa were talking about something else entirely, weren't you?

Some old investigation you were involved in.

Listen, I shouldn't be here.

I want to pack my things and get out of here.

And go where?
