Unconditional (2026) s01e01 Episode Script

Episode 1

Everything's okay.
I'll tell you when I see you.
We land at six, we'll be home around ten.
I'll ask her. Are you sleeping over?
Yes, she is.
Okay.
Okay, Yelenka.
And the drawer is locked.
Thanks.
No. We just had a layover from hell.
That's why I sound like this.
Bye.
Listen,
- the hottest guy just sat behind you.
- Fine.
He's a total snack.
I've never seen anything like it.
- Fine.
Should I look?
Of course.
But I don't want him to see me looking.
Wait, I'll tell you when.
- Now?
- No, wait. I'm on it.
- Well?
- Look now.
- Now?
- Now.
- Hey!
- Damn you.
It's clean here.
Tel Aviv, please move along,
we're closing the gate, last call.
My daughter should be here any minute.
There she is.
Gali, come on. Where did you go?
She's yelling at me.
- Come on.
- The boarding pass is in your phone.
We'll do it from yours.
I don't have it on my phone,
we always used yours.
- I don't know if I have the app.
- Let me see.
What's up with you? Are you okay?
- What's your password?
- Oh, come on, go away.
Keep trying.
Sir, I'm very sorry for before.
Me and my daughter,
Give me your passport.
But our flight is leaving.
- What is this?
- Give me your passport.
Give him the passports.
What is this?
What's going on?
Come with us.
- Let's go.
- Wait, our bags.
Do we need to take it?
It's just a routine check, right?
Wait. We are together.
Wait, we are together.
Mom!
I wish my mom traveled with me like that.
I honestly thought you were sisters.
Oh yeah?
Sorry, I'm making it sound like it's not
the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.
Is that for me?
- How long is this ride anyway?
- Eight hours.
- Please can we have two more?
- Yes.
- Each.
Okay, you are free to go.
Okay? It's not okay.
Not okay at all.
You kept us here for how long?
Three, four hours?
And you don't even tell us why.
And now we lost our flight.
So, it's not okay.
And you need to give us something now.
You need to give us a note for
the airlines, or something. I don't know.
Your daughter was arrested.
There is no note.
What?
What? What do you mean arrested?
They found drugs in her backpack.
It's not possible.
She doesn't even smoke cigarettes.
It's not even her backpack. It was on--
The backpack where they found it was hers.
I'm telling you,
it's not even her backpack.
It's also mine.
If you arrest her,
then you also need to arrest me.
But we are not arresting you.
Now, please, we need this room.
Where is she? Where is she?
I wanna see her, please.
You can't see her.
Why?
'Cause you can't.
Because she's not here.
They took her down to Moscow.
You can call the police
and ask them everything.
After you leave.
You know what?
I wanna talk to your commander, please.
No.
You don't have a commander?
No.
Then I want you two, please,
to give me your names, please.
Right now.
Because I'm not going. I'm not going.
I'm staying here until someone
will tell me what's going on.
It was a long day. She's tired.
Last thing we want, to arrest you too,
but you are making it difficult for us.
But please, please, I just want to know
what's going on with my daughter.
I told you, she's not here anymore.
I can't help you.
Please, I just wanna know
where they took her. Please.
Just tell me, and I'll go.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you, sorry.
I need to get there. This place.
This, what it says?
You want to go here?
Yes. A police station maybe.
Translate.
The note says,
"Your daughter is in whatever shithole
jail that has room for her tonight."
But there is many police station
in Moscow.
Thirty, maybe more.
You want where?
Listen, maybe I can take you to a hotel.
Yes.
Okay.
NOVO-PEREDELKINO
BOROVSKOYE HIGHWAY
Hello, the consular
department will be closed to the public
on November 4 and 5,
on the occasion of National Unity Day.
Orna, the Israeli Embassy is closed.
It's a national holiday.
They're trying to reach someone.
They'll update us.
Call me when you get to the hotel.
Hey, how are my beauties?
Having fun together?
Yeah, fun, lots of fun.
But our flight got delayed.
Enjoy it. In the end, those are
the best moments.
- You want to put Gali on?
Listen, you won't believe it,
we're out of gas again.
I spent an entire day on the phone
with them, it's insane.
- Benno, can I speak to Yelena?
- Sure.
- A kiss, honey.
- Kisses.
Orna, I tried the ministry
in Moscow, they're not answering.
And the police?
They said to try tomorrow,
it's not in their system yet.
- Try to get some sleep in the meantime.
- Who can sleep?
And don't worry.
He's responding well to the new pills.
Okay.
The gas main is shut,
and the cabinets are locked. Don't worry.
Thank you. Good night.
Good night.
Listen, Mom. Slight change of plans.
I promised this friend of mine
we'd meet again during this trip,
so she arrived here by surprise,
she's in some village nearby.
- Okay.
- So she's here only for a couple of days
so I thought I'd hop over
and spend some time with her
and I'd join you again later.
- I don't get it.
No, that part I get, but you're saying
- I have to go to this resort alone now?
- No, not alone, with Yaara.
Gali, I didn't get malaria shots
and fly all the way to India
just to hang out with Yaara.
I don't even know her.
You know, malaria shots cover
Come on,
you always say
you never got to travel alone.
Well, here's your chance.
So you're going there?
Come on, the bus is leaving!
How are you going?
There's a bus that stops here to refuel.
I'll go get our bags.
I'm not staying here alone.
Come on, the bus is leaving!
- Thanks.
- No problem.
"REPORT ABOUT THE ARRES
OF AN ISRAELI CITIZEN
WITHIN RUSSIAN FEDERATION
TERRITORY"
Thanks so much for coming
despite the holiday.
Gladly, that's what we're here for.
You two arrived from the East, right?
Yes. Wait, so you have heard
from the police yet?
No, these things always follow
trips from the East.
- Is she on any meds?
- What "things"?
Backpackers forget a joint in their pocket
and get on a flight.
- Meds?
There's no joint, she doesn't even smoke.
Well, they found something.
I'm her mom, I know they didn't.
Okay.
Why are you smiling?
- I'm not.
- You are, as if I said something funny.
Let's drop it. The good news is,
this happens a lot, okay? All the time.
They'll scold her a bit
and kick you both out,
which is what you want anyway, right?
- So what now?
- Now we wait.
She'll likely be released
today or tomorrow.
- Shouldn't we call someone?
- Who?
The police, I don't know, you tell me.
- For an arrest over a joint?
- But there was no joint.
- I won't argue with you.
- But you are!
Orna, today's a holiday and people
came in to work especially for you.
Now let me explain this
in the simplest terms.
Either your daughter did nothing
and it'll resolve itself,
or she did do something
and what you need now is a lawyer.
Either way, we can't help you.
- I got hold of the police clerk,
she still can't say what she
was arrested for and where she is,
but she saw Gali was
assigned a public defender.
Did she give you a name or contact info?
No, listen, I already spoke with him,
he had no idea you're in Moscow.
He'll meet you at Primov Cafe
outside the courthouse.
Primov Cafe.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I'm Yevgeni, and you are?
- Orna.
- Orna.
- Israel.
- Yes.
- Yes.
"Shalom", "Sababa".
Thank you for seeing me.
Have you met her?
- Gali.
- Please.
First, I need to hear from you
everything that happened
from the beginning.
- Yes? Please.
- Okay.
Just a moment. Yes.
Okay, so my daughter Gali,
she was arrested yesterday at the airport.
They took her away.
Have you seen her?
Not yet.
No.
Is this your first time in Russia, Orna?
Maybe I should explain a bit.
You see, here in Russia,
a good representative
must be first a good dancer.
Yes, with one, he might need to tango,
or with another, I don't know,
maybe hip-hop.
What I am trying to tell you, Orna,
that if you know the right dance,
and if you know the right partner to
dance with, you can do anything here.
You want a parking ticket canceled? Okay.
You need a gun permit? No problem.
And yes, sometimes
you can even get a person out of jail.
Yes, so, this is my contract.
It has everything.
Terms, conditions, salary, per diem.
You sign and I can start
working right away.
And you are a public defender,
- right?
- Yes.
No, no, no, no.
Don't sign anything. Pen down, please.
You are Mrs. Levy, right?
Gali's mother.
Yes.
Call me when you need real help.
I apologize for that.
These people know
we meet with clients here,
so they circle around like vultures.
There are thousands of them in Moscow,
and you'll probably meet every last one.
My name is Maxim Kiselyov,
and I've been appointed
as your daughter's attorney.
I apologize in advance,
but I don't have a lot of time.
I'm due back in court in 15 minutes.
I need to say that
I haven't seen your daughter yet.
They refused to let me meet her.
What do you mean they refused?
I understand they found some drugs.
Yeah, they made a mistake.
They indicated that they aim to
charge her with drug trafficking,
- which in Russia, is quite serious. Yes.
- Drug trafficking?
The Interior Ministry
has classified the investigation,
so I can't even see the evidence.
What evidence?
Well, maybe more than just a joint.
May I ask you,
were you offered any refreshments
during your investigation?
Like tea, biscuits.
We didn't have any of it.
So, you weren't separated
during the investigation?
So, you are not sure if Gali hasn't
touched any of these refreshments?
No.
Well, it's just sometimes
they spike tea with a bit of cocaine.
Enough to get a positive drug test
they can later use in court.
- Mom!
- Whoa, whoa!
Are you okay?
- Yes. Yes.
- So,
here is the deal.
Option 1.
Gali hasn't done anything.
It's all a big mistake.
Police are making things up,
their evidence is weak,
and it wouldn't hold in court.
She walks free.
Option 2.
Gali did it.
Police have strong evidence,
or even worse, a confession.
She's convicted for drug trafficking.
In Russia, that's eight to 12 years.
Or I'll prompt a plea bargain.
Gali admits to consumption.
She gets only two years in prison.
What? No.
They set another
court hearing for tomorrow.
But I think they won't let me see her.
So it will be your decision
if you take the deal or not.
Unless you are 100% sure she's innocent,
I would take the deal.
Listen, I see you are a good mother.
But I don't know your daughter.
I don't know what she has done
or what she has confessed to doing.
And I know it's hard to accept,
but neither do you.
I can't take this anymore.
- Nobody forced you to come.
- What?
Maybe I shouldn't have come.
What?
I'd be better off missing you.
You could have stayed two days without me.
Hello!
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Hello?
Hey.
Are you okay?
Have you eaten anything today?
Okay, get up. Let's get you fed.
Come.
It can be very confusing.
But seriously, tell me I'm wrong.
Children are deceptive,
manipulative, impulsive,
egotistical.
And I'm not being judgmental here.
- Just making an observation, right?
- Okay.
So I'm saying there is a name for that.
Go ask any clinical psychologist,
they'll tell you right away.
You're describing a psychopath.
Children, collectively,
are all psychopaths.
But Gali's not like that.
Then why are you debating whether
to take the plea deal?
Can I tell you something?
Today the lawyer told me
that the interrogators
spike the tea and cookies with drugs
- Yeah, but the thing is,
right before they split us up
at the airport,
Gali said something to me.
At first I didn't understand
what she said, but now I think I do,
I think she said: "Don't touch the food."
Why would she know about that?
If I could just talk to her
for two minutes.
So she can tell me what to do
about this damn plea deal.
You want me to stay a bit longer?
My convention only starts tomorrow.
No, no. Really. You've been so helpful.
Maybe tomorrow I'll get to meet Gali.
We'll sit together on the flight back.
- Hello?
- Is this Yevgeni?
Who is this?
You told me to call you
when I need real help.
I need to see my daughter.
- When?
- Tonight.
I have to speak to her
before court tomorrow.
I'm not sure it's the best idea.
This morning you said
you can get someone out of jail,
and now you're telling me
you can't even arrange a visit?
Let me make a phone call.
You wearing the dress?
Why do I need it?
If you want to see your daughter,
you have to trust me.
Please.
Give me your coat.
Hello.
Go with this guy.
Wait.
Wait. Wait.
Let me go.
I want to go back.
I want to go out. Please, please!
Wait, no.
Gali?
Gali?
My love.
No. No, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Open the door!
No! No!
Open the door!
Please. Open the door!
I don't know what to say.
He said to me,
"Junkie girl from the Middle East"!
Hey, sweethearts.
Hey.
How are my beauties doing?
Having fun together?
Yeah, lots of fun.
our flight is still delayed.
Enjoy it, in the end, those are
the best moments.
Listen, you won't believe it,
the gas? We're out again.
I spent an entire day on the phone
with them, it's insane.
- Is Gali there? Can you put her on?
in the bathroom.
Is everything okay, honey?
What's wrong?
I lost Gali's bracelet.
That's no reason to cry,
it's just a bracelet,
she'll get you another one.
Yeah,
you're right.
I'm just homesick.
What's a bracelet compared
to your amazing trip together?
She's so lucky to have a mom like you.
What a lucky kid.
- Okay, don't worry about a thing.
We'll see each other soon, okay?
A kiss.
Give one to Gali as well.
- I will.
- And come back already!
Bye.
Your friend came here?
Last stop, last stop.
Their bus got stuck, so she's not coming.
Your friend?
Yes, we'll leave first thing
in the morning.
What are you reading?
Nothing.
It's from the hostel we stayed in.
Oh.
What?
I don't think you're supposed
to take books from there.
Really?
You know, it's not a buffet,
it's their library.
Don't say that.
I bet there are wanted posters of you
all over town.
No, there aren't.
No, there aren't.
You know, I'm hearing great things
about the bar downstairs.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, it's actually a gastropub,
won lots of awards.
They say on average, only one
in five diners dies of dysentery,
the rest just die from
normal food poisoning.
But we're crazy lucky
because the kitchen was closed
for two months following a court order,
But yesterday some truck did
a hit-and-run on a wild boar,
so they gave them an exemption.
- Wow.
- Yeah, so it wouldn't go to waste.
- Sounds great.
- Right?
MOSCOW CITY COUR
Gali!
Mom!
I'm here.
Everything will be okay. I'm here.
Silence!
Before us is a foreign defendant.
The police asks that she continue
to undergo interrogation
for drug trafficking.
I see that you've requested
a remand of three months.
Does the distinguished attorney
have anything to add before we proceed?
Yes, sir. I'd like to make two claims.
Since my client was clearly
leaving Russia,
as she was arrested at the boarding gate,
we cannot claim that there was an attempt
to distribute any illegal drug
within Russia.
In addition, there was
no Hebrew translator present
in her initial interrogation,
which means that anything that was written
in the protocols of that interrogation
is inadmissible.
I have to point out that,
for unexplained reasons,
I haven't had the chance to discuss with
my client
about the allegations against her,
though I'm sure they're all false.
The defendant's mother,
who is here in court,
wrote a character reference.
I submit it to the court.
It presents insights into the positive
qualities of the defendant's character.
After consulting with the mother,
we decided not to take the plea,
as she is innocent. Thank you.
Thank you.
Given the information presented to me,
the court believes that this is clearly
a severe case
of organized drug trafficking.
The prosecution intends to demand
the maximum penalty of incarceration.
The court grants a three-month remand.
Thank you.
Gali. Gali!
Gali.
Wait, wait! No.
Gali!
- Orna, stay, please.
- Why are you taking her?
- We'll manage it.
- Well, what did he say?
- Stay.
- Please sit down.
- Gali!
They're asking for 18 years.
You think I should've taken
the plea bargain.
I think you should go to Israel now.
Gali's detention center
doesn't allow visits,
and I'm afraid if you stay here,
they might arrest you as well.
You should try to get
your government involved in this
before the next court ruling.
Because once there is a verdict,
it will be almost impossible to overturn.
Okay.
I don't know what's wrong
with me. I barely drank.
Yeah, but maybe it was
on an empty stomach.
You just need to sleep it off.
Sit down.
- Stay here a sec. Okay?
- Okay.
Good, good.
You're doing great.
Lie back.
- Oh, that's better. Yep.
- Yeah? Good.
Gali?
Gali?
