Hi, um...

after a long life, Morry Goldberg

lies in the dirt-- no, on his deathbed.

- Is he here yet? - No.

And your job is to VIP Alan.

Alan wants to know where the mayor is.

Well, I confirmed with his office.

I confirmed with him. I checked the traffic.

I confirmed, I checked, meanwhile,

- I can't get my speech right. - Moyshe,

you're gonna be great.

- Okay. - Okay, I'm going back inside.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Ten-thousand steps. - You cheated.

- There he is. - Ahh.

Welcome, Mr. Mayor.

Ahh, shalom, Rabbi.

Shalom.

Rabbi Mo.

- Mr. Fassbinder. - My wife is shivering.

You have got to turn up the heaters.

Excellent idea, Mr. Fassbinder.

You are now officially in command of the heaters.

You there,

turn up that heater.

Turn up all the heaters.

Well played, Rabbi.

Ba-ba-ba, there you go.

Jerry, how are you?

Reed, congrats on Brandeis, very nice.

- [laughing] Mayor Kirk. - Alan.

Mayor Kirk, I'm sure you know Alan and Liat Rosner.

Oh, do I know Alan.

I know that he married up, and he cheats at golf.

At least I don't cheat at the things that count,

Mr. Mayor-- how many ex-wives

- are you supporting? - Huh.

How many offshore accounts have you been hiding

from the IRS, Mr. Rosner?

How many votes did you forge in the last election?

Alan, Mayor, do we have to get into this stuff tonight?

- I mean-- - How many insults do we have

to throw at each other before the rabbi knows

- we're kidding? - Come on.

Okay, okay.

[laughter]

Mr. Mayor, do tell me about those offshore accounts.

Oh, attagirl. Rabbi, you're a good sport.

Well, I'm just honored you guys feel

comfortable enough to pull my leg like that.

- Of course. - Can we get a picture?

- Yeah. - Yes, of course.

Johnny, come in, come in.

Oh, yeah. So glad you could come, Mayor.

Anything for you, pal.

- Perfect, thank you. - Great.

Why don't we take a seat?

[applause]

[cheering and applause]

After a long and productive life,

Morry Goldberg lies on his deathbed,

and he says, "Is my Sarah here?"

"Yes, I'm here, my husband."

"Are my boys Max and Bernie here?"

"Yes, we're here, Dad."

"Are all my grandchildren here?"

"Yes, Morry,

all of us are here," says Sarah.

And then Morry Goldberg

leans forward one last time

and says,

"Then why is the light on in the kitchen?"

[laughter]

That was for you, Alan.

A green joke for our green hero.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Alan Rosner.

[cheering and applause]

Okay, Esty, roll the video.

Roll the video.

Many people talking about ending

our fossil fuel reliance,

but Alan...

Alan makes it happen.

Rosner Energy powers

over 100,000 homes

with pure sunlight every day.

And now that Alan's vision includes a building

for the High Desert Jewish Center,

that too will happen.

Mazal tov, Alan...

for your hard-earned award.

Take it away, Devorah!

[engine rumbling]

Daddy, you taught me how to drive

and how to negotiate.

I'm honored to bring your vision

of the solar future to social media.

And now that I've reached over 20,000 followers,

I'd like to renegotiate my deal.

Daddy, you're my bestest.

Mazal tov on your big honor.

Take it away, Mom.

Ten years ago, the kids and I were

living in a one-bedroom in Van Nuys.

I was working nights.

You changed our lives, Alan.

You're going to change the world.

We're so proud of you.

Mazal tov, my darling.

Take it away, Koby.

Yay, Alan.

Uh... take it away, Jeff.

Yeah, uh, congrats, bro.

Dad would be proud.

Cheers.

PAULINA: Congratulations, Alan.

You're a generous man,

and your family is very proud of you.

Mazal tov on building the new temple.

Lahaim!

[dramatic stinger]

[applause]

Esty, Levy, great job on the video.

That was great.

Ten years ago, Hindy and I opened

the High Desert Jewish Center in our living room.

At our first public event, all of seven people showed up.

[laughing]

But one of them...

was Mayor Donovan Kirk.

[applause]

And a big hand for Rabbi Mo, everyone.

[applause]

And to the High Desert Jewish community, I thank you.

But it is now my honor

and my pleasure to award Alan Rosner

a key to the city

for bringing high-tech,

large-scale solar farming

and hundreds of jobs to our city.

I'm also proud to call him my friend.

- Ahh. - But Alan, next time we golf,

I'm still taking all your money.

[laughter]

Ladies and gentlemen, Alan Rosner.

[cheering and applause]

[shutter pops]

[cheering and applause]

Oh-- but for the record, I let him win at golf.

[laughter]

Six months ago, Rabbi Mo called

and said that he and Hindy would like me

to be the guest of honor at the gala this year.

So, I immediately said,

"How much is that gonna cost me?"

[laughter]

It's true. Now, it's no secret

that I have a soft spot in my heart

for the High Desert Jewish Center.

I'm just a little tired of attending services

- in a strip mall. - [laughter]

You know, I promised to give a bigger gift this year,

and Rabbi, I know you're waiting for a number.

- [laughter] - Well, here it is.

I hereby pledge to help the High Desert Jewish Center

build a synagogue with a gift of $2 million.

Mr. Mayor.

Detective Nestor. This is Wallace.

Can you tell us what happened here?

Alan was... was up there,

and...

bullets came from that... that direction.

I handle security. It was the Nazi.

I called 911 on him twice.

His name is Clay Gibbons, and he drives

a matte green GTI with Nazi insignia.

- Nazi insignia? - "88" is a reference

to "Heil Hitler." I found shell casings outside.

Get me an address on Gibbons.

I mean, he-- he could be the killer.

- "Could be." - Got an issue, Rabbi?

It's just that he...

he...

he ate the brownie.

Come again?

I offered him a brownie after services one day,

and then he...

well, he ate it.

And killers don't eat brownies.

I'm not being clear.

Um...

I counsel inmates.

He and I, we... we had a moment.

- He's a kid, not a... - Special circumstances one.

- We're on. - Okay.

Until they kill.

What? What?

- Stop! - I don't see a warrant.

You can't just come in here to my house.

So we can talk about this, all right?

- 'Cause my son-- - Mr. Gibbons.

Your son's a member

- What? - No! No, Dad, Dad!

No. No, stop.

It was a rant room!

Dad, it was just a rant--

Dad, it was a rant room!

[camera snaps]

This...

this attack, this horrific murder...

it's personal to me.

Not only was Alan Rossner my friend...

but his people...

are my people.

When I was a kid, times were...

times were tough.

And our neighbor, Mrs. Leibowitz...

she noticed that I was...

missing meals.

She saw me, she'd always say,

"I made too much food," and she would insist

that I ate with them.

She didn't want to embarrass me.

The only thing they had too much of...

was kindness.

This crime against a Jewish community...

will not go unpunished.

Chief.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

At 8:14...

- You okay? - Mm-hm.

Just... short sentences.

Don't rush.

The suspect, Clay Henry Gibbons,

is now in custody.

Uh...

[sniffling]

My friend Alan...

was murdered.

Murdered on the night we celebrated

his remarkable life.

[lightbulb pops]

He is...

was...

was... a husband...

a dad, a hero.

There are no words.

But there will be deeds.

Please, if you're watching this...

do a good deed in Alan's memory.

- Thank you. - [overlapping shouting]

[Hindy whispering prayer]

It doesn't make sense.

How can murder make sense?

No, it doesn't make sense the kid did it.

Esty googled him after the first incident.

His mother was killed by a drunk driver

when he was 11. I mean, sure,

he's troubled, but...

he ate the brownie.

True, but the first clause of the First Amendment

- Everyone in your family? - In... my town.

I was ten.

The Nazis... [hawks, spits]

I ran through the woods.

I watched the Nazis light the building on fire.

509 people...

Professor Sidney Barofsky

was head of Life Science and Ecology

at Tortuga Valley College

when he filed a lawsuit against Alan Rosner

seeking injunctive relief

on behalf of birds dying in large numbers

at Alan's solar farm.

In response, Alan investigated Sid's past

and revealed, while in college,

he was arrested, expelled, and imprisoned

for participating in an eco-terrorist attack.

Apparently, he didn't disclose that

to TVC because, when they found out,

- he lost his professorship. - And the lawsuit went away.

Maybe the killer wasn't targeting Jews.

Maybe he was targeting Alan.

In light of the tragedy,

Maybe you can.

Don't hesitate. Go ahead.

Okay. One smooth move.

Let go.

Blessed is the Lord who molds such creatures.

With luck, she'll heal and re-adapt.

Amen.

So you knew Alan.

[chuckling]

He was an environmental hero.

Alan Rosner was an environmental opportunist.

Have you been to the heliofarm?

Once, a number of years ago.

It's a killing field.

Hundreds of birds a year.

Maybe thousands, actually, just incinerated.

- Is that legal? - No, it's not.

So, I brought that to his attention

so he could suspend operations

and come up with some kind of moral avian policy.

And I was ignored.

So I filed a motion to stop the aviacide.

Can you guess what happened after that?

- No. - Rich man defense?

It's all offense.

So a bunch of scorched-earth lawyers

came after me, attacked me personally.

Cost me my job

- and my reputation. - [cawing]

And yet you came to the shiva.

Liat joined our birding group

three years ago. She was the first one

who noticed, actually.

Hawks, warblers,

roadrunners, all dying by the score.

You and Liat are close?

We're friends.

When did you hear about the shooting?

The next morning.

You didn't hear about it that night?

- It was all over the news. - I was at

the Southern California Writers Conference.

Meet anyone interesting?

Are you questioning my alibi?

I'm trying to understand what happened.

Isn't the killer in custody?

I may have lit the candle,

Alan was a bulldog.

Perhaps that's why he had enemies.

Sid Barofsky filed a lawsuit to save the birds.

He bombed a federal vehicle.

He lost his career because of Alan.

Alan and Jeff's father, he bought this land

with Luckie Lube money,

74 locations throughout the valley.

And when he died,

he gave each son half of the acres

and half of the stores.

Alan sold his stores, and he built Rosner Energy.

Jeff, he just sucked cash until the stores ran dry.

another problem.

An environmental impact report

said that the trains' route

would endanger the lesser beak-nosed mole.

And so a 30-mile stretch of high-speed track

had to be rerouted, right through Jeff's acres.

Ahh.

So the state seized the land.

They agreed to purchase it

for fair market value, which, of course...

shot up because of Jeff's land lying

next to the thermal solar energy facility.

Jeff made a lot of money.

Well, the state will be paying that one off

for a while, but yes,

Jeff certainly is a wealthy man.

Wow... must have felt like a miracle.

Does it take a miracle to produce

an environmental impact report?

16 white supremacist groups

active here, that we know of.

Could also be a copycat, Rabbi.

These things come in waves.

MO: Aah-aah-aah, this is it.

"Proposed route will catastrophically impact

habitat of the lesser beak-nosed mole.

Environmental impact report

for the California High Speed Rail Authority,

submitted by Dr. Sidney Barofsky, Ph.D."

The man Alan ruined. This is the link.

It's not about Jew hatred. It's about money.

Two Jews got shot in the head.

That's not anti-Semitic?

Is it conceivable to you that you could be wrong?

Chief?

The rabbi was the last person to see Mr. Farkas alive.

He got shot at.

He also has a viable theory.

I suggest you look into it. Thank you, Mayor.

We'll put a man on him.

No, you do it.

We're all working overtime until this thing is solved.

Am I clear?

Good, now get the rabbi some new shoes.

CHIEF: I'm gonna hit the mic first,

do the whole tip line thing

and then... rabbi, it's all you.

Oh, I thought the mayor did this.

Our tip line is open 24/7.

Thank you.

They happened to us.

All of us.

We lost two husbands.

We lost two fathers.

And their killer is still out there,

walking around among us.

Yeah, I'm just gonna--

Oh, Mr. Mass Murderer. Hold on a sec

That's why we're here.

Shooter ready?

Yep.

Fail, but better.

Both shooters, reload for malfunction drill.

- [sighing] - Okay.

Good.

Rabbi Mo, Mrs. Z.

You can do this.

Yeah, I'm not so sure about that.

Are you afraid that you won't pull the trigger

if you have to?

Yeah... and that I will.

Moyshe, my sister has plenty of room.

We can just stay with her

until the police say that it's safe.

No, I can't. I can't leave the community.

You can Zoom with the community, Moyshe.

You were the target yesterday, not them.

Everyone in High Desert is a target.

May God...

and your Glock protect you.

[phone ringing]

[phone beeps]

Rabbi Danny, how are you?

So I learned a bit about Liat Mizrahi.

- MO: Mm-hm. - DANNY: She comes

from a Syrian Jewish family,

speaks fluent Arabic,

was recruited by Omri Mizrahi

into a counter-terrorism unit.

Very, very intense work.

Eventually, they fell in love.

She became pregnant.

They got married.

Liat retired from the unit

to raise the children while he kept working.

Omri recruited another young woman for Liat's job.

They worked those intense missions together,

day and night, if you know what I mean.

Mm-hm.

His last mission

was to deliver the young lady to a rendezvous.

They never made it.

The unit was compromised.

Officers and families went into hiding.

Liat left Israel,

but whoever killed her husband

and his mistress was never caught.

My God.

You think it could be Liat?

Officially, Liat Mizrahi...

is a hero of the Jewish people.

[distant sniffling]

I'm sorry.

[sniffles] I'm sorry.

So, no one else came in or out before the--

LIAT: Rabbi.

I heard you were here.

How are you holding up, Mrs. Rosner?

Let's speak privately, please.

Sure.

Thank you.

What do the police think?

It can't be the same man who killed Alan.

The police think it's another neo-Nazi.

And you?

Tibor was telling me about a land deal

when he got shot.

A land deal involving Jeff.

[chuckles]

Jeff...

Jeff is a nothing.

Alan tried to lift him up for years.

Some things are not possible.

Mm-hmm.

[sighs]

The environmental impact report

that made Jeff rich was written

by Sid Barofsky.

Sid had reason to hate Alan.

Yes, he did.

And yet he's close to you.

I told Sid the birds were dying at the heliofarm.

He pressured Alan,

and Alan unleashed Tibor,

and Tibor dug up his jail records,

even though they were sealed.

For eco-terrorism.

Sid said it was college activism.

I tried to stop Alan.

He destroyed Sid.

And then Alan was murdered.

Alan and Tibor.

Rabbi...

I care about Sid.

But he frightens me.

The murders are all linked to a land deal.

Alan found out about it and got killed.

Everyone with knowledge of it got killed.

But it was Nestor and Wallace

who knew Clay Gibbons

had been harassing my congregation.

They killed Tibor and Sid to cover their tracks.

If... If that's true...

do you have evidence?

They just arrested Jeff.

Like Tibor and Sid, he knows too much.

They're gonna kill him. That'll be your evidence.

But we can't wait for that.

How do you know they arrested Jeff?

They did it in my house! Mayor, please, do something!

But don't call HDPD.

I don't know how many of them are dirty.

Okay. No, no, no, no. That's a good idea.

I'll-- I'll call the LA sheriff.

Thank you, Mayor.

We're awaiting a press conference

at High Desert City Hall,

where Chief Damon Russell is set to announce

a shocking development

in the string of anti-Semitic murders

that have gripped the nation.

KIRK: Hey, pal, you listening to this?

We all are.

Well, Jeff's here, so at least he's not dead.

Thank God. [chuckles]

RUSSELL: Earlier this evening, Rabbi Moses Zaltzman

made a serious accusation

against members of HDPD.

The officers he named

are the lead detectives in the recent murders

of three prominent individuals

here in High Desert.

It now appears Zaltzman made those statements

- in order to obstruct... - HINDY: What?

...the detective's investigation.

- HINDY: Moyshe... - MO: No-no-no.

Thankfully, he failed.

Detective Nestor.

NESTOR: We have determined

that Alan Rosner was not murdered by Clay Gibbons.

[cheering]

Alan Rosner's brother Jeff will now make a statement.

My brother Alan was killed

at a gala to benefit Mo Zaltzman's synagogue.

The principal donors to the building fund

were Alan and myself.

Alan became suspicious

that it was a scam to bilk us

out of two million dollars.

He confronted Rabbi Zaltzman...

and he was then murdered.

Mayor Kirk,

you're not buying any of this, are you?

- Mayor-- - [phone beeps]

[dial tone]

WALLACE: Now, it appears that Mr. Barofsky

was intended to be framed for the second murder,

much in the same way Mr. Gibbons was framed

for the first murder.

We can now link all three homicides

to the fraud perpetrated by Zaltzman.

What?

Thank you, Detective. Thank you very much.

Thank you.

To my fellow citizens of High Desert...

and for those of you who are watching around the world,

I gotta tell you, I just feel...

stunned, betrayed,

that a man of the cloth,

my friend,

could perpetrate such deeds.

But I will not have this impugn the honor

of the dedicated officers,

many who happen to be my fellow veterans

of the United States Armed Forces.

Zaltzman's obscene accusations

against these men will not stand,

and I will share with you all the evidence

and facts as soon as we have them.

Thank you very much.

- [reporters overlapping] - That is all.

They lied about Tati.

- I knew it was Jeff. - Just like Cain and Abel.

Jeff was pulling the strings.

- No. - They killed three people.

If Jeff was pulling the strings,

why would he sign over the land?

- HINDY: Moyshe. - Unless...

Mo...

Mo-- Mo!

They're coming to kill you.

Take the kids to your sister now!

Someone's coming to kill Tati.

HINDY: No, no, no, no, no, no, sweetie.

God will never let that happen.

I won't let that happen.

Get up. I want you to grab your stuff.

Hurry, move.

Did you tell Mayor Kirk Alan was blackmailing Jeff?

You did.

But you didn't think it would get Alan killed.

- What do you want from me? - Details.

To our silent partner.

KIRK: Don't ever call me that.

Uh, sure.

In fact... don't ever call me.

JEFF: Okay.

But we can raise a glass

ALL: To the lesser beak-nosed mole.

When I met Donovan Kirk, I was the hostess at Lawry's.

He needed an unofficial partner

to own a property the city was buying.

I made $50k for signing my name.

So when he came to us for this, it sounded great.

Jeff signs his name, we make a fortune.

And then things got out of control.

The dirty cops were Donovan's army unit overseas.

He made millions diverting oil trucks.
