[Gordin Cell is a fictional series]
Subtitles by Treon
Superb Vodka.
Georgi Titov says it's been refined seven times.
Peter.
"Lastochka" Chocolates. The best sweets.
And of course, the good caviar. This is real classy stuff.
Do you know how much a package like this costs?
And...
Pickled mushrooms. -You're wasting time I don't have.
I, like they say, was in the dungeons of the SVR,
and I left after two days...
With a care package. Does that seem logical to you?
Do you have a theory? -Of course I have a theory.
Natalya Gordin is working for the Russians.
What do you base that on?
Based on how much effort they invested in convincing me otherwise.
You're paranoid, Peter. Stalin's dead, the Berlin Wall has fallen. -Yes?
But in the meantime, every Grad rocket they shoot at us from Gaza
is made in Russia, and not Maryland, USA.
They're tricking us, don't you get it?
They're planning something big here. I know them.
Okay.
What's your theory?
I really don't intend to share our theories with you.
You're still upset with me about Eyal Gordin.
I told you, after the leak in Finland I couldn't take any chances.
Peter, you lost the target.
You were exposed. The damage you caused the state
could have been much worse
if the Russians weren't our allies. -The Russians are our allies?
Do you hear yourself?
You should increase monitoring on the Rezidentura.
Diplomatic tracking with surveillance. Everything, 24 hours a day.
Go back to retirement, Mr. Yom-Tov. -I don't work for you.
Natalya Gordin is in Israel. It's Shabak business.
Not exactly.
Due to the Ridder affair,
it was decided that Natalya Gordin is still our responsibility, even in Israel.
What Ridder affair?
Yulia.
I don't want to speak to you.
I know you don't, but you don't have a choice.
In a few minutes we won't have another chance
and we must be coordinated now.
Don't you understand what you did?
You brought me to jail. A life sentence. My life is over.
You're not going to jail. You've got an ace in your hand.
They'll agree to anything.
You just need to neutralize the worm. That's it.
It's impossible to neutralize. -They don't know that.
You don't start working before you've got a signed pardon.
They won't agree. -They have no choice.
Two years ago I discovered my parents were working for the SVR
They eavesdropped on me, followed me. They used me like a pawn.
My parents.
What I'm trying to tell you is that I understand how you feel right now.
But I promise you that no matter what, I'll help you get out of this.
[Shabak Facility]
Hi.
Peter Yom-Tov. You're back!
What are you doing here?
Better here than there, no?
Yes, I've heard.
Here, this is for you.
What's this? -A gift from Russia.
Wow. Lastochka. Peter.
Want some?
It brings me back.
How did she enter Sulami's house?
That was before.
Before what? -Before she contacted me.
I wrote it all in the letter, Velvala. It's all there.
Your suicide note?
Velvala, believe me, I wrote there everything I know.
Not everything.
You didn't write what you gave your girlfriend
about Peter landing in Finland. -Because it wasn't me, Velvala.
So who? Wissotzky?
Too bad you didn't succeed in killing yourself.
Believe me, because you're going to die very slowly here.
Very slowly, Ridder.
Wow. The spy who came in from the cold.
May I have a minute?
Can I speak to him for a few minutes?
We're past the talking stage.
So what stage are we at now?
Do me a favor, Peter.
Do you know he was with me in this room?
'Helping' me interrogate Wissotzky.
Burying his friend and making me look dumb?
A few minutes, that's all.
Peter, you shouldn't even be here.
You should have a cooling-off period, you were in contact with a foreign agent.
At my age, it's a bit dangerous to cool-off. It's...
It could cause complications.
You know what? Go for it. A couple of minutes.
Come.
Go get him a glass of water.
I'm sorry, Peter.
I'm sorry.
[Vienna, Austria]
[He's here]
Your files are ready. You leave for the airfield
the minute we're done here.
Oh. Two people I'm really glad to see.
Come, Yulia, or Lena, or whatever you want us to call you.
Let's not waste a second.
We prepared a computer station for you with everything you... -I want a deal.
What's that?
A signed deal with the prosecution that says I'm not going to jail.
Of course the deal depends on the worm being neutralized.
Eyal Gordin. -Hi, Keren.
I've got good news for you.
The DOJ decided to take your help into account
next time you request an early release, in July.
Early release? No.
We agreed I'm staying out. That I help you find Nati.
Eyal, in the State of Israel, only the President can grant a pardon
You had no problem getting me out of jail when it was good for you.
I can help, Keren.
Eyal, if it were up to me, you'd be released today.
I'm not signing.
Yulia, we don't know each other,
but I can see you're not a murderer, right?
Right.
You understand that if you don't neutralize the worm
you'll murder thousands of innocent Israelis?
Some of them might even be your relatives?
If Eyal's going to jail, I'm not signing.
This man abducted you, threatened you,
brought you to Israel against your will, and you want to help him?
Women like you give all women a bad name.
Eyal came here against his interests.
He came because he wanted to help, and I want to help too.
But if this is your attitude, please, handle it on your own.
Call the Russian Shabak guy to debrief him.
And give Stockholm Syndrome here a new deal.
Accepted. Good luck to both of you.
Let him go, it's okay.
Come with me.
I didn't even manage to commit suicide.
You get what a nothing I am?
Committing suicide is no solution, Ophir.
You have no idea how ashamed I am. -I know.
Look at me.
I can get you out of this. I got authorization to double you.
What?
Where did he get that from?
She's supposed to call you soon?
What's the time? -Ten to ten.
So she must have already called.
Yesterday, at around eight, she said 24 hours.
24 hours is not an exact time.
Maybe she meant she'll call today.
Forget it, Peter. It won't work.
Why?
You're certain you were authorized to do this, Peter?
I betrayed the state.
Right.
But you can fix it. Or at least try to.
I know you, Ophir. I know you wouldn't have reached
this stage if she wouldn't have put you in an impossible situation.
With no way back, with your back to the wall.
I'm willing to die to bring down Natalya Gordin.
Hold on with the dying. Right now I need you to live for it.
There's a cell of three.
The leader is in the lobby.
Besides him there's one by the bar, and one outside.
And Sharif?
Went up to his room.
Good. They're taking the meeting seriously.
Give me, give me that.
Excuse me?
Keep me updated. Bye.
Sweetie.
Look, a bird!
Who knows about his suicide attempt?
We do, ambulance dispatch, the ER intern.
Send somebody there to expunge the file. -No way.
I'm taking him to the Jerusalem facility.
They can take out his fingernails one by one.
Natalya Gordin is the Mossad's business, not ours. -Really?
A foreign agent in Israel is the Mossad's business. Not ours?
Can you hear yourself, Velvala?
Those are our orders.
And what about our professional honor?
What's left of it?
Look at him.
We were hit badly, I agree.
But the question is whether we bend down
and let the Mossad do whatever they want.
Or we get up and go to work like men.
This can be a win.
You won't manage to double him.
It's too late.
What do we have to lose?
Hi, Lena.
What are you doing here? -What do you think?
Is there anybody else from the team? -This is not a class reunion.
Sit down and get to work. -Here?
You thought you'll get the VIP room?
I forgot you were so nice.
Do you want me to be nice to you?
Here, I'll tell you something nice.
It's a pity we don't have death sentences in this country
because that's what you deserve.
I can't work when he's above me. -Live with it.
No, you don't understand. I can't work like this. I need to fully focus.
Call that woman who met us and tell her I can't..
We don't have time for this kindergarten. Belkin, let her work. Go back to your post.
Put your leg on the chair.
What's this? -On the chair. Your leg.
My name is Shai, and I'll be your guard for your stay here.
I hope we'll get along.
Good luck.
How many vehicles are we talking about?
Enough, stop with the excuses, Dado.
Put them all back in service. All of them.
Thanks. Thanks.
Regards to the family.
Fuck him. Idiot.
Cabinet meeting in an hour, you remember?
I don't remember anything. That's what I have you for.
Ah, thanks.
They're all useless.
It's to our advantage, that's okay.
You think you're so smart, huh? Arele the puppet-master.
I've got news for you. You're useless too.
You're in one of your moods, Mussa?
Who was on the phone?
Listen, I thought again about the evacuation issue. -Ah, really?
It's doable.
The army bases down south.
Put tents all around, water tanks, there's infrastructure, there's power.
It could work. -Mussa, you're making a mistake.
We need to focus on the strategy we set.
To ignore the worm and push for an attack.
What are you talking about?
We have no intelligence. What attack? Against whom?
Against the Prime Minister.
You saw him in the past two meetings.
He's a shaking leaf. The man is disintegrating.
It's all written down. Mussa. It's all recorded.
Imagine that the cabinet meeting protocols of the Yom Kippur War
would have been leaked in real-time, huh? What would Moshe Dayan be? And Rabin?
What would everybody be? Nothing.
Every cabinet meeting we hold here
buries the Prime Minister and his whiskey even deeper.
But how is that related to evacuating people? I don't get it.
No. Do you want to see him
with his combat uniform and megaphone in front of the cameras
"Leading" the operation that you planned?
Please, call. Come on.
It's better than a nuclear disaster in Tel Aviv.
How many people do you think were killed in Fukushima?
Do you know?
Two. Two reactor technicians. That's it.
And most probably even that won't happen by us.
Second, the Mossad Chief told us they made contact with the source,
So maybe, it could be, that very soon
we'll have proof that the Egyptians are behind the worm.
Are you done? -Yes.
Let me tell you one thing and then you get out of here.
There are times when the good of the state is more important than personal interests.
Now, get out of here.
I'm thinking about the good of the state, Moshik.
And the good of the state says that if there's an Egyptian attack,
it's better for the Jewish People that you make the decisions here
and not Mr. Johnny Walker.
Get out of here.
Come, come here.
You don't know me, but I know you very well.
Sit down. I was on the team that exposed you and your family.
That means you're Shabak. What are you doing here?
Attaché for Gordin issues. That's how big of a headache you guys are.
What this? -It's an hour I lost from my life
printing you this whole list
because you've got security clearance -100 and aren't allowed to touch a computer.
It's all the people your sister ever met.
Friends from the army, doctors, teachers, 4th grade classmates.
So? -So, you're her brother. You know her the best.
I want you to go over this list
Mark in green anybody who might be working with her,
worked for her, handled her, was handled by her etc. etc.
People marked in red are known agents of hers
so skip them.
You're joking? You think that's how you'll find Nati?
Get to work.
Excuse me, sir.
Do you have a pen?
Is your pen working?
I collect autographs. Do you mind?
How was your flight? -Terrible, thanks.
Next time, go first class.
It doesn't work that way with us.
I can see that.
Let me express my condolences over Stanley's death.
He was the smartest man I ever met.
I hope you find whoever did it.
Don't you know?
I have my suspicions.
You and Stanley were in touch for many years. -Yes, many years.
But not the last two years.
We believed you were dead.
The rumors of my death were greatly exaggerated.
What made you get back in touch with Stanley?
Certain merchandise came to me that justified the risk.
The information about the worm. -Yes.
It would be a great help to us to know who's behind it. -Well...
What is the question?
Who's behind the worm?
No. That's the wrong question.
Who killed Stanley?
Oh, you're way off.
The question is, if someone planted
a worm in your reactors,
why hasn't anything happened yet?
We assume it has a delay mechanism.
And you are right.
A delay mechanism for five days from now.
Which naturally brings up another question.
What's going to happen five days from now.
To Stanley's replacement.
No less smart than him, and much prettier.
Five days. -That's what my source says.
What do you think of him?
His information about the worm was credible.
This new information fits with what we know
about the worm's delay mechanism.
Thanks, Arele.
Mussa.
What's not clear here? Preemptive strike. Strike before they attack us.
If we strike first, all the international pressure will be directed at us,
America too. -What does it mean 'strike first'?
They already attacked the reactor.
If Freddy's man is right,
in five days they'll attack again with a conventional army
while we're counting the bodies from the meltdown.
But I understand the best technological minds
are currently working to prevent a meltdown
Working... -With all due respect, I don't think
that we need to wait for a nuclear disaster to give us legitimacy.
I don't know... For Israel to declare war based on one source?
Should I remind you of a different war
where we didn't listen to the one source we had?
It's not the same, Mussa.
In the Yom Kippur War there were countless parameters.
Intelligence-wise, we had the Jordanians
and we had the cable sent by the Iraqi ambassador in Moscow. -Sir.
Listen to somebody who fought in our last three wars.
The Jewish people won't forgive you if we don't act now.
Do me a favor, Mussa, don't be a populist.
Guys, if in five days
the Egyptians will attack first, and we don't preempt them,
we'll have tens of thousands dead, especially on the home-front.
Tens of thousands dead?
Yes.
Are you okay?
Yes, yes.
Go on.
The IDF is ready.
According to the attack plan, the air-force and navy do most of the work.
As for the combat units, I suggest we start recruiting reserves...
Hold on, hold on.
This is all based on one source. Is that enough?
Is it enough for the Americans?
There's nothing else to support it? No force movements? -Negative.
So.. I can't. I can't, just based on...
I can't, Mussa.
Sir, I don't think you understand how serious the situation is.
I need to know how credible this Sharif is.
Bring him here and interrogate him. -We have a deal with him.
We can't just... -Fuck your deal with him.
In my world, if we break a deal with a source,
we lose thousands of potential sources.
And in my world, the Mossad does what I tell it to.
Bring the fucking Egyptian here and interrogate him.
From your first day on the team I smelled something was wrong with you.
I noticed you back then.
I know you noticed me.
How's your wife and the kids?
Ooooh. We're unsheathing our claws, Lena?
Any progress?
It takes time, Belkin. It's a password of two fifty...
You don't need to tell me. I was there when we developed it.
I improved this version, so I can override it.
But it will take a few hours. -Why a few hours?
I can cut the time it takes to crack the password
But I still need to run a dictionary attack.
You're not running a dictionary attack here. This is a brute force attack.
It can take weeks. -A little patience, Belkin.
I can't work when you're- -Don't say "I can't"
You're wasting time, while the reactor's about to melt down.
You're coding nonsense.
You already sold us once.
I won't let you sell us again.
Not on my watch, missy. -These nerves aren't helping us.
Who are you?
I brought her to Israel. -You brought her to Israel?
So I have news for you. You worked for nothing.
She's not doing anything. She's tricking us.
Maybe even delaying us on purpose. -Can I speak to her, alone?
Calm down.
Yulia, I don't have access to the server room. Can you use this?
They'll find me out. Maybe they already did. I can't do this.
Yulia, come down. Everything's under control.
These cards are encrypted. Besides, the minute I pass them
the double usage will be recorded in the system.
You're not offline? -I don't know.
So try it.
So?
Encryption's done by retards.
Good.
Somebody coming?
Don't worry about it.
How long?
Twenty seconds. -What are you doing here?
What are we doing? Playing Tetris. What do you think? -Get back to your desk.
Listen. She needs me here, okay?
She trusts me to help her. -Now.
Fine.
Yes?
What?
No, that's impossible.
We're not set up for it. I don't have the teams or the equipment.
No, you can't expect me to...
Yes.
I understand.
Damn it.
What are you doing? You are making a big mistake.
Big mistake. You will regret it.
He disappeared. -What do you mean?
He's not in his room, and he's not in the lobby.
What do you want me to do?
Stay where you are, I'll contact you later. -Okay.
Maria.
Yes? -I need to go.
I just changed him.
He should eat in an hour.
I pay you more than enough not to get those looks.
Looks like the girl dumped you.
I hope you're not fantasizing about another date.
We should give her at least 24 hours.
Okay, let's go, Ridder.
No, no, no. Put the phone down.
After you.
Ophir Ridder.
I know that name.
He was on your team, right? With Peter.
Focus on family connections, okay?
People you know from the past, where you have an advantage.
You want to tell me Nati had sources inside the Shabak?
Not sources. It's one person.
And his name is marked in red, right? So it's not relevant anymore.
Get back to work.
I'm missing data here.
What do you mean?
I mean I'm missing data, Aunt Vanessa's side is not here.
Which aunt? -Aunt Vanessa.
She's not exactly my aunt, she's a friend of my mom's.
They met when my mom volunteered at a psychological help hotline.
How is this related to Natalya?
I thought you wanted to be thorough.
Besides, I think Nati had a thing with her son, Aunt Vanessa's son.
A geek. -So? Why should that interest me?
Who worked in the Biological Institute in Nes-Ziona.
Check the hotline records, Wissotzky.
Check, it would only take a minute. Don't be lazy.
Careful, Peter. -Sorry.
What's this? -Come on, careful, Peter.
There. Brand new.
Good job.
All teams Muki.
Muki One. -Muki Two.
Muki Three. -Ophir. -Muki Four.
You got a second chance, that not many people get.
Use it.
This is in case she decides to give you trouble.
What is this? Cutbacks?
Good luck.
Nati?
Here.
Sit down, make yourself comfortable.
Everything's okay, Ophir? -If it gets any better, I'll go mad.
Did the holy water get to the Pope?
I wasn't in his interrogation today.
I was too busy trying to help the Mossad catch you.
You realize that as long as Wissotzky's alive, you're the one in danger?
I realize that.
Is that why you're nervous?
Why do you think I'm nervous?
Your banker.
Said you looked nervous when you emptied your account.
Come on, Nati, what do you think?
That I'll leave the money there with their interest rates?
What a financial mind.
What's the deal with the laptop? You don't trust me anymore?
I never did.
So maybe it's time you let me go?
Soon. I need you to do me a little favor.
How surprising.
What's with you and Keren? Do you fuck her?
We're okay, good relationship. Why?
A guest of hers is supposed to arrive in Israel very soon.
An Egyptian guy named Hilal Sharif.
She's going to interrogate him herself.
I want to know where that's going to be
and hear everything he says.
No way. She'll never let me in on something like that.
Don't sell yourself short, Ophir.
Work your Yemenite charm on her.
I'll try, but no promises.
Don't try. Succeed.
The name "Mikhail Gordin" appears 157 times,
but the newest mentions are from two years ago.
All the recent files were removed from the general server.
What do you mean 'removed'?
By Keren Falah's orders.
She erased them? -No, just from the general server.
According to the records, there are copies on the hard drive in her office.
Fuck.
There's guards, cameras everywhere, and I'm supposed to break into her office?
I don't have a chance.
I can help
How?
When I'm in, I'm in.
What about the guard?
He's analog. I can't do anything about him.
He's analog, but the anklet is electronic.
Okay, I'm going to put my head down for a few minutes. Come with me.
Sure. I.. I'll just continue going over the lists here.
Calm down, Wissotzky. I'm not going anywhere.
Good night.
Continue working, Avner. Okay?
Fuck.
Shit.
Avner, we're connected to her computer, right? -All the time.
Something stinks here. It doesn't make sense.
Her hands aren't in sync with the commands here.
Let me check.
I think you're right.
She's got a private firewall on her terminal.
Hack it. -What for?
She's sitting right here. Go talk to her.
Avner, if you can't do it, just say so.
Come on, you stupid nothing.
Belkin, get out of my hair. Let me work.
Focus now.
Do what I tell you, Maxim. We don't have time to argue.
What are you doing?
I told you everything I know.
I don't know where Natasha is.
I sent her pictures. -What's in the pictures?
Gordin, tell me, what's in the pictures? What, Gordin?
Quick.
Quick, quick.
Gordin, Gordin, Gordin, Gordin.
Don't die.
He's dead. What should we do now?
Should we dispose of the body?
Leave the body. Wait for my instructions.
What's this?
Block her!
What's going on here? -The little traitor infiltrated the building's security system.
Go figure who she's working for.
He's right. I went into the security system and shut down the network,
but it's not because I'm a traitor.
I'm sorry I didn't warn you, but it just occurred to me.
What occurred to you?
The solution.
I know how to neutralize the worm.
Yes?
Our Egyptian friend is on his way to you.
What?
But I warned you.
You warned, and they abducted him anyway.
What a world.
Does he know about me?
Don't insult me, 'Owl'. Foul-ups happen.
All this means is,
we'll need to push up our schedule a bit.
Do you understand?
