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.

Have you no shame, Maor?!

Putting a grenade in a stairwell at 20:00 PM?! You lowlife!

Go home.

Our goal is to scare him.

To let him feel he's got an enemy.

Then he'll start slipping up. That's all we need to put him away.

How can I help you?

We need to build an explosive device that'll blow up.

Something improvised, not to be traced back to the police.

A big explosion? - Enough to lift an SUV.

One in the SUV, one in the apartment he keeps for doing business.

Leave your rifle. - Forget it.

Don't make us humiliate you in front of your girlfriend.

Let's tell my dad, he'll arrest them.

Police doesn't call the shots here. They'll kill me.

They'll say that Maor Ezra has no property in his name.

We want to establish what he does with the money.

That's how his family operates.

At least eight of his relatives made very profitable real estate deals.

Classic money laundering.

You sold an apartment on Silver st. - I can't help you.

You can't keep visiting his relatives, it's too risky.

You expect me to sit and wait for the grenade to come?

Got everything?

You keep it for now.

My dad wanted to work for the municipality.

Now his son runs it.

It's a shame to go against them, haven't you learned that lesson?

Say what?! - Have a nice day.

Call them. Let's meet.

Something's not right. - Show me.

Yes, it's a bit loose.

Fix it quickly. I'll make sure the coast is clear.

20 minutes.

If there's trouble, signal to me with the flashlight.

Do not honk, do not leave the car, got it? -Got it.

Nothing over the radio unless something happens to me

and we need to abort.

Go.

Done. What about you guys? - Affirmative. Done.

We're leaving. - So are we.

They entered the parking lot.

You must go home.

Alon, in 10 minutes they'll be calling your home to come down here.

You've gotta be there.

Damn it... - She'll get off in time.

And if she doesn't?

She will, trust me. We must get outta here.

What are you doing?

You'll never make it, Alon!

Alon!

F♪ck...

6 minutes.

Go, go, go...

What?

What?

What?!

When?

No, don't go in yet. Wait.

See if anyone came to check things out.

What?

And?

No.

Hello?

Where?

Okay.

Fine, I'll have a word with them.

Seems messier over here.

Done with the apartment?

Forensics are still examining the window.

Any witnesses? -Nobody saw a thing. The explosion woke them up.

What happened here? - Same thing.

Edri's meeting with a source, see he's got any intel.

Any word on the street? - Nothing so far, everyone's shocked.

Of course. Who's crazy enough to target Maor, huh?

No cameras there? No marks?

Nothing.

But don't worry, we'll know soon enough.

Maor Ezra will retaliate.

Alon Shenhav, intel investigations. - Romano, Galilee Central Unit.

Sasha. Are we late? - Nope, still working on it.

Anything so far? - Not much.

I'm here if you need me.

Romano, good, you're here. Come take a look.

Well?

He swore it's nobody from the Krayot. - Who then?

One of ours? -Get real, Maor... - Don't give me that!

I don't care how, find out who did it.

I wanna see that bastard with my own eyes and bury him.

Two large explosions were heard in Nahariya early today.

No casualties were reported...

One heck of a morning in Nahariya. Almost did the dirty work for us.

Not funny.

What are you looking through? - The apartments.

Maybe I'll find the common denominator of the deals,

the link to Ezra. - And?

Let's take a break.

You need to freshen up, I need coffee, let's go.

We must think of a different way.

It won't appear in official documents. -It sure will.

If someone bought Ezra the apartments, a name will show up.

I went over everything.

As far as the state is concerned, no external source was involved.

Then will dig deeper, ask for bank statements.

They have a ton of papers for every real estate deal.

I bet we'll find a POA with that person's name.

Getting the bank to cooperate will take forever.

We have no warrant, either. - It won't be easy.

Unless we ask the buyers.

Ask them what? - Who really sold them the houses.

Think about it. We've got addresses, names of the apartment owners,

we can simply ask them.

Miki, we can't, we're not the police,

we can't just knock on people's doors.

It's enough that you spoke with that Ortal lady.

Hello? I'll call you right back.

Look, I get how important this is to you,

but don't forget who we're dealing with here.

You don't know who'll be behind that door.

We'll draft the request,

wait for the bank statements and take it from there, okay?

Yes, shoot.

That's the whole story: a classic, amateur pipe bomb.

This plastic used to be a clock.

Nothing but gun powder and hunting bullets,

but it was placed beneath the gas tank.

The Caucasian mob didn't do this. Has he got local enemies?

It's nobody from Nahariya. - Then where from?

No serious felon lays these kinds of bombs, not even Arabs.

They'd lay an explosive device connected to the ignition.

Then maybe it wasn't a felon.

What do you mean?

It's an improvised bomb, could be a civilian.

Someone who pays Ezra protection,

or had a grenade thrown into his shop.

He's hurt plenty of people.

Impossible.

Locals are scared to death of him,

they don't even look him in the eye.

I wouldn't rule out that possibility.

Too bad the car bomb flopped. Could've been peaceful here finally.

Don't worry, he's on his way out.

Quit your yapping. This changes nothing.

You think he's gonna leave town because his car blew up?

Doesn't hurt to scare him a bit.

Maybe now he'll stop doing whatever he wants.

It'll only trigger him to make more trouble. -Good.

Morning. - Morning.

Sometimes you need trouble to make a change.

Get a barrage fired at your home, you'll see for yourselves.

I tell ya, whoever did this has got big balls.

Reuven, where's Edri? - Inside.

You'll see. This marked the beginning of Maor Ezra's end.

Everyone should take it easy.

This town won't have peace and quiet any time soon.

What was that all about?!

We were just talking, half the force is happy about it.

It attracts attention. They can't think it was you!

The Central Unit are all around us,

and they're getting alarmingly suspicious.

What, that cops did it? - Nope. Civilians.

Frustrated locals.

It's just come up and it's already a problem.

We must find out exactly what they're thinking. -But cautiously,

we can't ask too many questions. - We'll find a way.

Meanwhile, lay low, don't talk to anyone.

Do your jobs quietly and go home.

What's up?

All good?

Cat got your tongue? - No... everything's fine.

Is it all here?

I haven't opened it.

Knew I could count on you.

Did it work out with the army? Was it a lot of trouble?

No, it went smoothly, thanks. - Good.

I need you to bring us something from the base.

I don't... -Something small, an explosive device.

The Combat Engineering corps has plenty lying around.

But I don't have access to... - Amit,

you haven't let us down so far.

I trust you.

You're a smart kid, you see what's going on in the 'hood.

Now we each do what we can to help.

Take it.

Buy your girlfriend something nice.

"Tom"

They just pulled into the parking lot.

Be subtle.

Once settled in, we return to the crime scene?

Today we work from here.

Tomorrow we'll interrogate the other neighbours.

Hi. -Hi there.

How's it going? - Fine. Interesting day.

We're looking for our room.

Want to use my office? - Poleg arranged a room for us.

Coffee at least?

Here you go. - Thanks. -Thanks.

So, any leads?

Nope. Everyone's kind of shocked.

We asked if it could be someone frustrated from paying protection.

They thought we were nuts. - Told you.

The locals hate him, but they're more scared of him.

On the other hand, intel's come up with nothing,

not from the Krayot, the villages nor Acre.

Nobody in the area is linked to it.

They have no reason to, he keeps it local.

He's got a monopoly here, doesn't let anyone rear his head.

How long could it last?

Whoever did this was driven by jealousy,

wants a piece for himself.

One of his men? - They're all his men.

Did you give them a name?

No. They'll find the suspects.

As long as they target Ezra's men and not civilians.

Thanks.

Beer, Edri? -No, it's getting late, gotta head back,

Hadas is making us dinner.

You two are so cute. What is she making?

Stuffed vegetables. - Wow, I love those.

Can I come? - Sure, and stay for breakfast too...

It's time you found a woman. - All in good time.

Have a beer. Hadas is pregnant, not you. -No way.

She didn't marry a cop so I can come home smelling of booze.

Come on, you wuss, I wanna make a toast.

The almighty Maor Ezra

woke up this morning to a new reality.

He was sure nobody had the balls to touch him,

but tonight he won't sleep so tight, and now's the time to get crackin'.

Cheers! -Cheers!

So now we wait for him to retaliate?

We won't have to wait much.

He's panicking, getting ready for action.

Tomorrow we'll ask for surveillance. - We have to be glued to him,

we and the Central Unit. This is our moment.

Let's go, Edri. Hadas is waiting, her dinner's getting cold.

"The number you have dialed is not available..."

Amit, why aren't you answering?

Just tell me what's up with you. Bye.

"The police is looking for suspects, and they are checking all leads".

Mom, can you give me a ride to Stav's? -Tom...

Mom, everyone's going, she'll drive me back.

Tomi, I told you I don't want you going out tonight.

It's not a good time to hang out on the streets.

We'd be at her place.

Tom, I said no, and that's that.

Mom, what's the big deal? It's not even in the same area.

What's the big deal? Do you see what's going on?

Dad, can you give me a ride to Stav's?

Tomi, today it's not a good idea.

Please. - The next few days are dangerous.

You'll see her at school.

Tomi, things will calm down soon... - Fine, thanks.

Why must I repeat everything 10 times with her?

It's not you. She's having a hard time.

We're lucky she's got Stav.

Are things really that bad?

Yes.

Maybe it's for the best. - How exactly?

He took a serious hit.

Folks don't usually defy him. He won't let it slide.

So? -Maybe he'll slip and we'll catch him on something.

I asked Grandpa to pick you up from school today.

Why? - So you don't walk home alone.

I told you not to come. -I'm worried, you don't answer your phone.

This isn't a good time.

Are you going to the base? -Yes, I have a committee hearing today.

Didn't you say you have to get an X-ray?

Come here.

Amit, don't, it's dangerous. Just tell them no and that's it.

You once almost got put in jail for that.

It's worse if I don't do it.

I'm calling my dad...

No, no! -I knew I should've told him. - No, it'll make it worse.

He can help you, okay?

Nobody can help me! Not your dad, nobody!

If you tell him, they'll kill me, don't you get it?

I'm sorry, Tom. Don't worry.

I'll give them what they want and everything will be fine.

What do you mean by "going to war"? - The works:

He's arming up, recruiting, collecting debt.

But most of all is his mental state.

What we gather from intel is that Ezra is panicking.

Until now, our problem was that he kept away from his own activities.

Now, he's in a panic. He has no idea who did this.

It's our chance to keep on his tail and catch him slipping up.

You wanna use the momentum to arrest him? -Bingo.

This is a rare opportunity. - The problem now isn't him,

it's whoever blew up his SUV and made him panic.

Alon, we're focusing our efforts on the bombs.

If Ezra acts up, we'll respond,

but it's our responsibility to find out who attacked him.

Has intel got any leads?

A possible culprit? - None so far.

Fine, they'll investigate the bomb, we'll do the surveillance.

Ezra is at his most vulnerable, we must take advantage of that.

You think this is a game?

Am I supposed to be glad Ezra is in a panic?

It's the worst thing ever.

Someone from somewhere came here and dragged this city into war.

My only interest is to prevent the next explosion.

If you can help with that, leads, intel, great, share it.

Until then, I don't want to hear about this "opportunity".

Let's have another talk with him,

we can't miss this chance. We didn't come this far to blow it.

I think, if we bring him Ezra in handcuffs,

with evidence and witnesses, he won't ask how we did it.

I think we should do it without Poleg's approval.

We'll distribute the tasks among us. We can handle it.

He's right, Alon.

Nobody would know about it.

Isn't that his wife's SUV?

What's she doing here?

"Princess ahead!"

It's not her.

Here he comes.

Son of a...

Well, we just had a talk to calm things down,

to prevent a chain reaction.

What started out with his SUV could end with casualties.

So I've invited him and asked him not to respond to any attacks.

I also promised him we'd do everything we can to protect him.

Is this a joke?

Reuven, trust me, I didn't enjoy shaking hands with that scum,

but it's part of our duty.

My primary goal is the residents' welfare.

If we let this escalate, people will get hurt,

and if that happens then we will have failed.

So we'll be protecting him?

We've classified Maor Ezra and his family under level 6 threat.

That means two patrol cars under his house, patrolling 24/7,

until we find out who's threatening him.

He fired at my house, at the station, nearly killed Oded,

and you're sending officers to stand outside his house and guard him?!

We're guarding this city, not Maor Ezra,

and whoever doesn't get it is either slow

or forgot what his job is.

I expect full cooperation.

Good evening, sorry for the inconvenience...

Are you the owner of this apartment? - Why?

I'm looking for the previous owners, and...

You've just moved here, right? - Leave him alone!

This isn't a good time. - It'll just take a sec.

I'm an interior designer. They contacted me and disappeared.

Look, I'm sorry, I can't help you, I've never met them. -Really?

They weren't in the country, some lawyer sold it to us.

Give it to her, I'll be right there!

Do you remember that lawyer's name?

We have no choice but to attack him again,

or he won't have reason to retaliate.

He sits at home, guarded by police like a king.

Let's wait.

Perhaps his promise to Poleg isn't worth much.

From what I know, he's keeping a low profile.

He won't do a thing with the cops under his house.

If we're to finish this, we must shake him up again.

Otherwise it all goes to waste.

One explosive device under Bauman's car is all it takes. -No!

It's risky with all the patrol units. - We'll handle them.

We can find out where he is.

Let's use it to our advantage.

Poleg promised him he'd be protected.

You know how angry he'll be when that doesn't happen?

He'll lose control and fall right into our hands.

Alright.

Let's prepare another bomb.

Already have.

What's up, Miki? - Are you home?

Still at the station, but leaving soon.

Wait there, I have something to tell you.

Where are you? - In Nahariya, I'm on my way.

What is it? - Miki's on her way to the station.

Excuse me, where's the office of superintendent Shenhav?

"Intel and investigations officer"

Miki? Is everything okay?

I know how to take Ezra down.

The person cutting deals for him is a lawyer named Ariel Nevo.

The apartment buyers meet only with him. -Okay.

Can we link him to Ezra? - Bring him in for questioning.

He's got a lot to lose.

There's more:

This lawyer is also a partner at a small real estate firm,

"Galilee Developers", which could mean that Ezra himself is an partner.

If that proves true,

it could potentially mean far worse than just money laundering.

Miki, interrogations won't work.

Nobody will testify against him.

Alon, he's not some kid from the 'hood,

he's a well-established lawyer.

He won't sit in jail for him.

Come by the Attorney's Office tomorrow,

we'll do whatever it takes.

We'll go over it together and see how we do this.

You don't get how this guy operates.

Ezra won't let it get to court.

Once he hears that this lawyer was interrogated, he'll throw grenades.

I'm not saying this isn't a good plan.

It's just not a good plan in Ezra's case.

So what is?

What's the plan, Alon?

Miki, it's not that simple.

I don't get it, Alon.

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

Why are we still here?

Miki...

See? It wasn't that difficult.

How long till your discharge?

6 months, but I might get an early discharge.

That's a pity.

I'm not supposed to even enter the base.

But you did.

You did good.

Chrispine, are you up?

Did you miss me?

It's your turn to patrol. -Again? He's more guarded that the mayor.

Go on, do it and come back.

Heading out.

The first patrol unit left.

Copy that.

We've got 9 minutes.

450, this is dispatch. We got a call about a fire on Abir Yaacov.

Suspected arson. Go there. The fire department is on its way.

Copy that.

Dispatch, we're going to check the report.

368 is still on patrol.

We're going in.

6 minutes.

He's coming back. - Why?

Beats me. Must've taken a shortcut through the roundabout.

The patrol unit is returning, I repeat, it's returning.

Reuven! They're coming back!

Wait, it won't stick. - They're coming back!

We didn't make it. I repeat, we didn't make it.

Never mind. Get the hell out of there.

Dispatch, we've detected some activity in our area.

That's us. - Get out of here!

Honda, pull over!

F♪ck, Reuven, what do we do?

I'll do the talking.

Yoav, what are you doing here?

It's an ambush. - We weren't informed.

Investigations. We can't discuss everything.

So, Yoav, you've joined Investigations now? -Almost.

Still got plenty to learn huh?

368, this is dispatch, what's going on?

False alarm, it was our Investigations team.

Good night. - Good night.

Okay, we're in the clear, but now they know we were in the area.

Shenhav.

You're a stubborn one, huh?

Heard you were in the neighborhood at night.

Yep.

I just sent them there to check things out.

You've gotta stop obsessing about him.

I used to be just like that, I'd cling to a target and not let go.

It's not professional and it doesn't do any good.

Just the opposite. It empowers him.

This guy is too powerful here. - You sound like a small town cop.

In Tel Aviv you'd think nothing of him.

Just a thug who collects protection and got cocky.

I also told Poleg to stop with the patrols.

It's boosting his ego.

You need to look away and let him crash and burn.

Should I wait for you? -No, you go, I have some stuff to do yet.

Bye. -Bye.

You guys leaving?

Double homicide in Migdal HaEmek, in the middle of the street.

Our field work is done here, we'll keep working on intel.

Between us, why waste energy?

He'll be wiped out in a couple of months anyway.

Good luck.

"Princess ahead!"
