Unconditional (2026) s01e07 Episode Script
Back-Seat People
Get well
She's not dead. He's lying.
She's not dead. He keeps her in his house.
He won't let anybody see her.
[in Russian] Right, Dad?
[groaning]
[Kyril, in English] Get up.
[Orna exhales sharply]
[Kyril, in Russian]
Did you check the times?
[associate] Yeah, yeah, we're fine.
[in English] Airport is that way.
There is a flight to Israel
that leaves in an hour.
- They'll let you on the plane.
- Wait.
Roma said she's in his father's house.
He said Gali's alive.
[Rita] Orna, come.
Your flight is leaving.
Wait. Tell me what she stole
and I'll get it back.
Come on, you idiot!
I'll get it back!
- [engine starts]
- Please wait.
No! No, wait.
Wait, wait!
Wait, don't go.
- Move!
- No! Please.
- Orna!
- Move.
- [Orna] No.
I can't let you leave.
No, no! Wait!
Don't go, don't go. Wait.
Just one minute. Please.
Whatever she stole from him,
I promise, I'll bring it back.
I'm her mother. I know her.
I'll find it.
Please.
[in Russian] Anton.
Give me a minute.
Keep an eye on the other one.
[in English] There were four passports.
He asked me specifically about this man.
Why him?
Does he have what he wants?
Yes.
But you won't find him.
Why? How do you know?
Because we couldn't.
We already sent men down there.
Professional men,
and they couldn't find him.
Mumbai is a very dangerous place
right now.
But then again, you have
Israeli Intelligence by your side.
Just keep in mind, these people
are not known for their loyalty.
If you find anything, call me.
And then we'll get you
to see your daughter.
[in Russian] Anton!
[Rita, in English]
His name is Efraim Goldstein.
[Orna] Efi, I know.
They were looking for him too,
the police here in India.
There's one report on file,
a passenger who recognized him
on a bus to the airport.
Injured, but alive.
The police looked into it
but found nothing.
- No reports since.
- I thought he was dead,
because his friend in Israel
had sent him money here
and he never came to pick it up.
[Rita] Let's put it this way,
if he's not dead,
this isn't a bad place to start.
[woman] You're not from the police, yes?
- [Rita] No, no.
- Then how come you know my address?
We thought maybe you could help us.
- Are you Russians?
- [Rita] No. Israel.
What currency do they use in Israel?
[in Hindi] There's no shame
in getting something in return.
[in English] How can I help you?
We have a friend who is traveling,
uh, in India by himself,
He's, uh, not entirely okay.
We know he had someone wire money here,
and the name they used
for the transfer is yours.
So we thought maybe you helped him,
or sold him something,
Maybe even you just know
where he is.
Wait, wait.
Wait, let me show you.
That's him.
This man is not your friend.
- Anyway, I never met him.
- What do you mean?
What do you mean?
Someone made a mistake
by sending the money.
They wrote "Lali Battahya" with double T.
That's my name.
Probably they meant "Lali Batahya,"
with single T.
And this name is very common around here.
Like flies by the garbage.
Anyway, I don't know this man.
I even don't know about the money
until you and other people came looking.
W-Wait. Other people already came to ask?
Yeah.
Two Russians, one American,
and now Israelis.
This man has a lot of friends?
Anyway, I told all of them
what I told you.
You are at the wrong house.
If I knew 3,000 euros are waiting for me,
I would have been dancing to the bank.
My husband doesn't have time for all this.
He hardly has the time for us.
I am sorry.
My other son is coming back from school.
He has to eat before going to work.
Please.
Leave.
But why someone used your name
with a double T?
It's a strange mistake to make.
Madam.
If it made sense,
it wouldn't be a mistake, right?
[ominous music playing]
[Rita] Come.
[Orna] I've got a really bad feeling.
Well, don't we all?
So what exactly is our plan?
We find Efi,
and take back what he stole, free Gali,
live our lives,
global warming,
collapse of the food chain,
apocalypse, the end.
You're not here out of kindness, I assume.
- I'm here also out of kindness.
Could you just tell me what it is?
What is it that they say Gali stole?
Whatever it is,
that's why you're here, aren't you?
That's your job:
Find it and take it back.
No, it's more like:
You need a ride and I need a paycheck.
What?
It's a win-win.
We'll find what needs finding together.
You take it to Russia,
get your annoying daughter back,
and then I update Israel on where it is.
Once there is an address,
professionals will handle it.
Don't worry.
- Rita?
- [Rita] Yes.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi, I'm Sam.
- Nice to meet you.
Oh! Small present from Stefan.
Oh, thank you.
- He sends his love.
- Who's Stefan?
- Should we take the table over here?
- Yes.
Let's go.
- Come on.
- [Sam] Come.
You need two things.
You need a passport
to get the hell out of here,
and you need a doctor so you don't die.
And to get these two things,
you're gonna need someone to help you.
Someone wired him money,
but it's a dead end.
Nobody took it.
And then there is his injury.
Yeah, the injury is easy enough
to figure out.
But what's a little bit more difficult
is finding a doctor.
There aren't many doctors
that do this kind of work here in Bombay.
If he was really injured,
there's a good chance
he went to this doctor.
[phone buzzes]
Tell me about the bus again.
The police put out a description,
and someone called.
There are about 15,000 buses in Mumbai,
but the one where they saw him,
it was going to the airport.
Three months have passed,
and no one has a clue where this guy is.
Uh, wait, wait, wait.
This all happened three months ago?
So, it's all Raven related?
W-What is Raven?
- It doesn't matter.
- Missile guidance system.
- What?
- That's what we're talking about, right?
The abduction.
"The abduction"? What abduction?
Three months ago,
four armed men kidnapped this engineer
from a hotel here in Bombay.
And then they killed him.
And then these other men
tried to kill them.
What, you never heard about it?
Made the headlines here.
Thank you, Sam. Let's go back.
It's just that he was also Israeli,
this engineer.
is basically a prototype
he stole from your people.
That's what these men were after.
And now this engineer is dead,
and no one knows
where his device has gone.
Three months now,
people have been pouring into India,
climbing over each other,
trying to get their hands on it.
Loads of people disappearing,
loads of other people
looking for those people.
Are you okay?
So, this guy you're looking for,
have you got a photo or something?
Show him.
Cool.
I'm just gonna take a quick leak.
If the waitress comes by,
just get another beer or something.
So it's Israeli.
That's why you're here?
You wanna tell me who Stefan is?
No.
- Wanna tell me what's in the package?
- No.
Awesome.
The shoot-out, peaking around 10:00 a.m.,
[speaks indistinctly]
[Gali] Mom!
[Sam] Yes.
In Mumbai, yes.
[speaking indistinctly]
All right?
Our friend didn't go to the bathroom.
What?
I saw him talking on the phone just now,
in the bathroom.
There's a window,
you can see the back from there.
[Sam] All right, when I was in the loo,
I did some thinking.
I think I'm gonna help you find your guy.
Now, if we can just
- Let's go.
- [Sam] Okay?
- Where to?
- We have to go.
Rita, are you all right?
- [Rita] Orna.
- He said he could help.
- What's wrong?
He's not going to help you at all.
Fuck's sake, woman!
What the fuck are you doing?
Easy. We're walking out calm.
Two tourists going for dinner.
Get in the cab.
[indistinct chatter]
No. No, I'm eating food.
It's fine. Enjoy your dinner.
[man] You two, follow me.
[cab driver] Ladies, I'm on a break now.
Please leave.
This is a dangerous place
with dangerous people.
If they think
you know something they don't,
they won't hesitate to take you out.
Understand?
I didn't realize your guy
was going to sell us out.
Come. We're going to our doctor.
[dog barks]
- Rita?
- Yes.
You're late.
I don't have much time,
it's my son's birthday.
Sorry, it won't take long. Happy birthday.
Which of you two is hurt?
You look fine to me.
We are.
- What's going on here?
- We just need a consultation.
A few questions
and we'll pay whatever you charge.
I don't know who gave you my number,
but he made a mistake.
If you're ill, go to the hospital.
No, please.
Uh, we're looking for our friend.
Just one quick question.
You'll have to leave.
- [Orna] How old is he?
- Who?
Your son. You said it's his birthday.
- Oh. Nine.
- [Orna] Wow. [chuckles]
Exactly like my boy.
He's probably up, waiting for me.
Please, one really quick question
and you're back home with your family.
Please.
Okay. What's the question?
We are looking for our friend.
I've never seen him in my life.
When was he here?
I told you, I don't know him.
Was that the question? So, let's go.
Please, this is very important to me.
- Very. Please.
- No, no.
Let's go. Forget the money.
What is this? Where'd you get a gun?
Be quiet. Sit down. There.
Please. I have children.
The more you interrupt,
the longer it takes.
Tell me about this man.
When was he here?
Did you treat him?
Tell me what happened.
He was dying.
A shrapnel wound in his left hip,
a few days old.
I wanted to operate him
under general anesthesia but he refused.
He had a suitcase with him
he was afraid somebody might steal.
So I had no choice.
He had his gun pointed at me
throughout the surgery.
- Was there anyone else with him?
- No, no, no.
You said he was dying.
Someone had to help him.
Bring him here, pick him up after.
Look, I don't know where he went.
I don't know where he is.
You just need to tell me who helped him.
He said if I said anything
he'd kill my family, and I believe him.
I can also do things to your family.
- I said shut up.
- Tell me about this man.
[gasps] Are you crazy?
Get off me, you idiot.
Are you out of your mind?
[coughing]
[gasps, retches]
[in Russian] Damn it!
[horns honking]
[in English]
It's one thing if you're risking yourself,
but don't get in my way.
- I thought you were here to help me.
- I am.
But for that, I need to get us both
out of here in one piece.
And every extra minute we're here
It's not nonsense.
Don't look at me like that.
There are things I won't do,
things Gali wouldn't want us
to do for her.
Really?
Yes. Why are you looking at me like that?
Sweetheart, your daughter
would be the first to do it.
That's not true.
You're not gettin' in?
Thank you, we'll take, uh, the next one.
Sure?
- Please.
- [doors close]
And I truly can't believe
that she wanted all of that.
Something got messed up.
She had a complication.
A complication?
Your daughter was in the army in a job
that put insane power in her hands.
Then after she got out,
someone offered her a deal:
even more power and a lot more money.
She had two options:
be a nobody, or cash in.
There is no complication.
It's all very simple.
That thing she offered Mikhail,
you know what that is?
It's something about missiles, he said.
A weapon.
What she stole isn't a bomb
that wipes out a city all at once.
It's a surgeon's scalpel.
One bank. One hospital. One power station.
Until the world collapses
from the inside, quietly.
She didn't sell a weapon, she sold chaos.
That's your daughter.
And if she were here today,
there wouldn't be a hint of a debate
and what to do with that doctor.
I need to make a call.
Meet back here at 7:00 a.m.
And stay in your room. No roaming around.
[elevator chimes]
[doors open]
[fly buzzing]
[lock beeps]
[lock beeping]
Excuse me, is the air conditioner
working in your room?
Uh, no.
No, they turn off the generator here
at 2:00.
[Orna] Really?
I don't know why they do that.
Why 2:00 a.m.?
Why turn it off at all?
[chuckles] All right.
Okay, good night.
- Good night.
- [lock beeps]
[sighs]
You okay? [stammers]
- You need help or anything?
- No.
- You sure?
- Yes.
Yes, definitely need some help here.
Thank you.
You've locked yourself outside your room?
This card it's-it's not working now.
It was working before and I, uh,
I know it will in the future, again.
So, at least I have narrowed
my problem down to the present.
- [chuckles]
- That's a good start.
Right?
I even went down to reception.
There's no one there.
You've tried, uh,
calling the hotel's number?
What?
[chuckles] That's a brilliant idea.
There you go.
[sighs]
Your phone?
- It's in the room.
- The room that is locked?
That's the one.
[line ringing]
Sorry, I-I thought I heard you speaking
Hebrew with your friend next to the lift.
Yes.
a giant fucking swastika over your head?
It's not, uh, an Indian thing?
'Cause I remember I saw
it a few times with, uh, my daughter
Listen, they don't pick up.
- Let's call in five minutes, okay?
- Sure.
Sorry, what's the deal with it?
Ooh, it's an ancient
Hindu symbol, isn't it?
In Sanskrit, it means,
like, auspiciousness, well-being.
Hitler took it, gave it a 45 degree turn,
and put it on a Nazi flag,
death to all Jews.
Peace and love.
Death to all the Jews.
[chuckles]
Fucking weird, isn't it?
One thing can be two totally
opposite things, 180 degrees apart.
[chuckles]
Forty-five.
- Forty-five degrees, you mean.
- [chuckles]
Look, I feel like I must be intruding.
Don't you need to sleep or something?
No, I can't sleep.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah, yeah.
Um, tried it. It doesn't work for me.
She's here in the same hotel?
[stammers]
It's my second visit here, yeah.
Oh, all right.
So, what are you doing this time?
I'm looking for a friend
of my daughter who's missing.
Yeah. What are you doing here?
Dunno.
she-she passed away last year,
When she died,
it's actually a bit of a relief.
I know it sounds horrid
to say it like that. [chuckles]
No.
In a way that was not healthy
or balanced at all.
Yeah.
For myself, really.
I just want you to know I did not mean
- to seduce you with my sad tale.
- [chuckles]
Don't get me started with sad tales.
I do hope you find your daughter.
[somber music playing]
- No, it's okay.
- It's okay.
- Everything's okay.
- Did I say something wrong?
Let me just go to the bathroom
for a minute,
[groans] It's your daughter's friend.
You're looking
for your daughter's friend, right?
I scared you a little bit, sorry.
A little bit, yeah?
It's all right. Hmm?
It's okay.
It's all right.
Relax.
Okay?
[chuckles]
- [grunts]
- [lamp shatters]
Rita!
Rita!
[breathing shakily]
[stranger grunts]
- [henchman shouts in Cantonese]
- [footsteps rushing]
[henchman shouting in Mandarin]
Can someone help me?
Sir, help!
Sorry, can you help me?
[grunts]
[people shouting]
[horns honking]
[henchman speaks Mandarin]
[truck honks]
[henchman] Is someone here?
No one here.
Sure?
Yes.
Come.
Easy.
[breathes shakily] Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Welcome.
[Orna] Thank you.
[sniffles]
There was this psycho kid in her school.
A real psychopath.
[sniffles]
He'd threaten her, tear up her doll.
Until one day,
he shoved her off the swing so hard,
she broke her arm.
Poor thing. And it was summer, too.
"A kid." I was Gali's age now.
I went to the teacher.
I already had it in my head
how I'd threaten her,
that if she didn't get rid of him,
I would report her.
is in the hospital.
And basically, I'm a pretty awful person
for even daring to say anything.
And I don't know why,
maybe because nobody ever
flipped a table for me,
I just folded.
I didn't even know how to approach it.
I just brushed it off.
and bought her a new doll.
[chuckles]
And I mostly just waited
for it to sort itself out.
[crying] But looking back,
I've got a thousand stories like that.
[cries]
So what the hell do I know?
Maybe if the only option
she turned into a bully.
Very touching. What a story.
Are you angry at me about what happened?
Not relevant to the discussion.
What discussion?
The discussion,
and I'm intentionally
being gentle about this,
about whether you're the most
naive woman alive, or the dumbest?
- Either way, you're living in a fantasy.
- Okay.
Explain.
You tell me a sad story about how
the teacher made excuses for a bully.
He's sick, his family's sick, poor thing.
But at the end of the day,
you know exactly what he is.
Just a dumb kid
who broke your daughter's arm.
Okay.
Okay, so what do you do,
in the same breath?
You're exactly like the teacher.
You give me a thousand excuses for Gali.
"It's my fault, not her fault.
It doesn't matter she didn't understand
what she was getting into,
and that she didn't mean to.
Because at the end of the day,
you and I both know
exactly what she is.
It's not the same. It's different.
How is it any different?
Because she's my daughter.
[knocks on door]
[knocks on door]
- [toddler cries]
If it's too hard, wait out here.
My son found him in the bus
to the airport when he was cleaning.
He was wounded.
Someone shot him.
And he didn't want to go to a hospital.
So he didn't know what to do.
I told him right away.
I told him, "Call the police."
But then the Israeli offered him money,
a thousand dollars cash.
He said there'd be more if we helped him,
so we brought him here.
And then?
We helped him.
My brother, he knows this man.
- He deals with stuff like this.
- [toddler cries]
So he got us in touch
with a doctor here in Mumbai.
And also arranged
for a new passport for him.
But, for all this,
he needed much more money.
Why didn't he get the money
they sent him?
[in Hindi] Forget the money.
- Let them take it and leave!
[in English] I don't care about the money.
I just want to know where he is.
[woman]
We didn't do really anything to him.
- [toddler crying]
- He just started feeling very bad.
Very bad.
I think his wound got infected.
He wouldn't go to a hospital.
I didn't want to go to the police.
We didn't want to get in trouble.
Where is he now?
It's here?
[in Hindi] It's here.
[unsettling music playing]
[shovel clangs]
[gasps]
[gags]
[coughing]
[flies buzzing]
[Orna coughing]
[coughs]
[coughs]
[coughs]
- [grunts]
- [coughs]
[in English]
We need to sleep here tonight.
We will leave tomorrow.
We won't tell anyone anything.
[line ringing]
- [colleague 1] Yes?
- It's Rita.
Oh, hi. One sec, I'll put you through.
- [clears throat]
- [line ringing]
What are you doing there, Olga?
Vera?
Mila?
- Polina?
- [chicken squawks]
Oh, hi, Polina. Good evening.
- [colleague 2] Who's Polina?
- No one.
Listen, I want you guys to start thinking
what you're getting me for the holiday.
I need a vacation.
Somewhere nice and warm.
Maybe Mallorca.
Seriously? That's great news.
Get me the first flight to Tel Aviv.
There's one tonight.
Are you somewhere safe?
Oh, yeah. I'm in a perfect place.
Perfect. Emailing it now.
[in Russian]
Polina, what are you doing tonight?
[clicks tongue]
[door closes]
[in English] All clear, stand down.
They're putting us on a flight
to Moscow tomorrow at noon.
- From which airport?
- Chhatrapati.
That's the earliest they've got.
Get some sleep.
[phone buzzing]
Orna?
Hello?
Sorry to call like this, I
Did something happen?
It's probably the middle
of the night there.
It's okay, it's okay, where are you?
Are you okay?
[chuckling] No, not really.
[Rita] I adore you, you know that?
You're like a movie character, like Bambi.
Living in some magical forest,
while the rest of us
are up to our necks in the mud.
But you did okay.
What did you think I'd turn out to be?
I don't know.
I didn't really think about it.
But some people, you just know, don't you?
You can smell it on them.
They're back-seat people.
Not ones who decide where they're headed.
[Dori] No, Orna, you're not like that.
You never were.
I'm thirsty. Want some water?
[Rita] Yes, please.
[Orna] I actually think
I've always been like this.
With Benny, and the pregnancy.
With you too.
I don't see you that way.
[cries, sniffles]
[Dori] Not now, for sure.
I think only now I'm at the point
where I feel ready to be a mom.
And my daughter is 23 years old.
[crying]
Isn't that terrible?
It's not "not terrible".
[chuckles]
But it is better late than never, no?
[Orna] Here.
[sighs] Thanks.
Is everything okay? I'm a bit worried.
I'm okay.
Thanks, Dori. You helped me.
[line disconnects]
[rooster crows]
[horn honking]
[clucks]
Orna?
Orna?
[dramatic music playing]
Orna!
[scooter honks]
Where is she?
My friend, where is she?
She told not to wake you up.
She said you don't feel well.
She left?
Yeah. A few hours ago.
[line ringing]
- [colleague 1] Yes?
- It's Rita.
[colleague 1]
One sec, putting you through.
- [colleague 2] Aren't you on the flight?
- Hold on.
I need a flight to Moscow. It's urgent.
[colleague 2] Moscow?
You've got the package?
I need a flight.
On the Israeli passport?
Rita?
[upbeat music playing]
She's not dead. He's lying.
She's not dead. He keeps her in his house.
He won't let anybody see her.
[in Russian] Right, Dad?
[groaning]
[Kyril, in English] Get up.
[Orna exhales sharply]
[Kyril, in Russian]
Did you check the times?
[associate] Yeah, yeah, we're fine.
[in English] Airport is that way.
There is a flight to Israel
that leaves in an hour.
- They'll let you on the plane.
- Wait.
Roma said she's in his father's house.
He said Gali's alive.
[Rita] Orna, come.
Your flight is leaving.
Wait. Tell me what she stole
and I'll get it back.
Come on, you idiot!
I'll get it back!
- [engine starts]
- Please wait.
No! No, wait.
Wait, wait!
Wait, don't go.
- Move!
- No! Please.
- Orna!
- Move.
- [Orna] No.
I can't let you leave.
No, no! Wait!
Don't go, don't go. Wait.
Just one minute. Please.
Whatever she stole from him,
I promise, I'll bring it back.
I'm her mother. I know her.
I'll find it.
Please.
[in Russian] Anton.
Give me a minute.
Keep an eye on the other one.
[in English] There were four passports.
He asked me specifically about this man.
Why him?
Does he have what he wants?
Yes.
But you won't find him.
Why? How do you know?
Because we couldn't.
We already sent men down there.
Professional men,
and they couldn't find him.
Mumbai is a very dangerous place
right now.
But then again, you have
Israeli Intelligence by your side.
Just keep in mind, these people
are not known for their loyalty.
If you find anything, call me.
And then we'll get you
to see your daughter.
[in Russian] Anton!
[Rita, in English]
His name is Efraim Goldstein.
[Orna] Efi, I know.
They were looking for him too,
the police here in India.
There's one report on file,
a passenger who recognized him
on a bus to the airport.
Injured, but alive.
The police looked into it
but found nothing.
- No reports since.
- I thought he was dead,
because his friend in Israel
had sent him money here
and he never came to pick it up.
[Rita] Let's put it this way,
if he's not dead,
this isn't a bad place to start.
[woman] You're not from the police, yes?
- [Rita] No, no.
- Then how come you know my address?
We thought maybe you could help us.
- Are you Russians?
- [Rita] No. Israel.
What currency do they use in Israel?
[in Hindi] There's no shame
in getting something in return.
[in English] How can I help you?
We have a friend who is traveling,
uh, in India by himself,
He's, uh, not entirely okay.
We know he had someone wire money here,
and the name they used
for the transfer is yours.
So we thought maybe you helped him,
or sold him something,
Maybe even you just know
where he is.
Wait, wait.
Wait, let me show you.
That's him.
This man is not your friend.
- Anyway, I never met him.
- What do you mean?
What do you mean?
Someone made a mistake
by sending the money.
They wrote "Lali Battahya" with double T.
That's my name.
Probably they meant "Lali Batahya,"
with single T.
And this name is very common around here.
Like flies by the garbage.
Anyway, I don't know this man.
I even don't know about the money
until you and other people came looking.
W-Wait. Other people already came to ask?
Yeah.
Two Russians, one American,
and now Israelis.
This man has a lot of friends?
Anyway, I told all of them
what I told you.
You are at the wrong house.
If I knew 3,000 euros are waiting for me,
I would have been dancing to the bank.
My husband doesn't have time for all this.
He hardly has the time for us.
I am sorry.
My other son is coming back from school.
He has to eat before going to work.
Please.
Leave.
But why someone used your name
with a double T?
It's a strange mistake to make.
Madam.
If it made sense,
it wouldn't be a mistake, right?
[ominous music playing]
[Rita] Come.
[Orna] I've got a really bad feeling.
Well, don't we all?
So what exactly is our plan?
We find Efi,
and take back what he stole, free Gali,
live our lives,
global warming,
collapse of the food chain,
apocalypse, the end.
You're not here out of kindness, I assume.
- I'm here also out of kindness.
Could you just tell me what it is?
What is it that they say Gali stole?
Whatever it is,
that's why you're here, aren't you?
That's your job:
Find it and take it back.
No, it's more like:
You need a ride and I need a paycheck.
What?
It's a win-win.
We'll find what needs finding together.
You take it to Russia,
get your annoying daughter back,
and then I update Israel on where it is.
Once there is an address,
professionals will handle it.
Don't worry.
- Rita?
- [Rita] Yes.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi, I'm Sam.
- Nice to meet you.
Oh! Small present from Stefan.
Oh, thank you.
- He sends his love.
- Who's Stefan?
- Should we take the table over here?
- Yes.
Let's go.
- Come on.
- [Sam] Come.
You need two things.
You need a passport
to get the hell out of here,
and you need a doctor so you don't die.
And to get these two things,
you're gonna need someone to help you.
Someone wired him money,
but it's a dead end.
Nobody took it.
And then there is his injury.
Yeah, the injury is easy enough
to figure out.
But what's a little bit more difficult
is finding a doctor.
There aren't many doctors
that do this kind of work here in Bombay.
If he was really injured,
there's a good chance
he went to this doctor.
[phone buzzes]
Tell me about the bus again.
The police put out a description,
and someone called.
There are about 15,000 buses in Mumbai,
but the one where they saw him,
it was going to the airport.
Three months have passed,
and no one has a clue where this guy is.
Uh, wait, wait, wait.
This all happened three months ago?
So, it's all Raven related?
W-What is Raven?
- It doesn't matter.
- Missile guidance system.
- What?
- That's what we're talking about, right?
The abduction.
"The abduction"? What abduction?
Three months ago,
four armed men kidnapped this engineer
from a hotel here in Bombay.
And then they killed him.
And then these other men
tried to kill them.
What, you never heard about it?
Made the headlines here.
Thank you, Sam. Let's go back.
It's just that he was also Israeli,
this engineer.
is basically a prototype
he stole from your people.
That's what these men were after.
And now this engineer is dead,
and no one knows
where his device has gone.
Three months now,
people have been pouring into India,
climbing over each other,
trying to get their hands on it.
Loads of people disappearing,
loads of other people
looking for those people.
Are you okay?
So, this guy you're looking for,
have you got a photo or something?
Show him.
Cool.
I'm just gonna take a quick leak.
If the waitress comes by,
just get another beer or something.
So it's Israeli.
That's why you're here?
You wanna tell me who Stefan is?
No.
- Wanna tell me what's in the package?
- No.
Awesome.
The shoot-out, peaking around 10:00 a.m.,
[speaks indistinctly]
[Gali] Mom!
[Sam] Yes.
In Mumbai, yes.
[speaking indistinctly]
All right?
Our friend didn't go to the bathroom.
What?
I saw him talking on the phone just now,
in the bathroom.
There's a window,
you can see the back from there.
[Sam] All right, when I was in the loo,
I did some thinking.
I think I'm gonna help you find your guy.
Now, if we can just
- Let's go.
- [Sam] Okay?
- Where to?
- We have to go.
Rita, are you all right?
- [Rita] Orna.
- He said he could help.
- What's wrong?
He's not going to help you at all.
Fuck's sake, woman!
What the fuck are you doing?
Easy. We're walking out calm.
Two tourists going for dinner.
Get in the cab.
[indistinct chatter]
No. No, I'm eating food.
It's fine. Enjoy your dinner.
[man] You two, follow me.
[cab driver] Ladies, I'm on a break now.
Please leave.
This is a dangerous place
with dangerous people.
If they think
you know something they don't,
they won't hesitate to take you out.
Understand?
I didn't realize your guy
was going to sell us out.
Come. We're going to our doctor.
[dog barks]
- Rita?
- Yes.
You're late.
I don't have much time,
it's my son's birthday.
Sorry, it won't take long. Happy birthday.
Which of you two is hurt?
You look fine to me.
We are.
- What's going on here?
- We just need a consultation.
A few questions
and we'll pay whatever you charge.
I don't know who gave you my number,
but he made a mistake.
If you're ill, go to the hospital.
No, please.
Uh, we're looking for our friend.
Just one quick question.
You'll have to leave.
- [Orna] How old is he?
- Who?
Your son. You said it's his birthday.
- Oh. Nine.
- [Orna] Wow. [chuckles]
Exactly like my boy.
He's probably up, waiting for me.
Please, one really quick question
and you're back home with your family.
Please.
Okay. What's the question?
We are looking for our friend.
I've never seen him in my life.
When was he here?
I told you, I don't know him.
Was that the question? So, let's go.
Please, this is very important to me.
- Very. Please.
- No, no.
Let's go. Forget the money.
What is this? Where'd you get a gun?
Be quiet. Sit down. There.
Please. I have children.
The more you interrupt,
the longer it takes.
Tell me about this man.
When was he here?
Did you treat him?
Tell me what happened.
He was dying.
A shrapnel wound in his left hip,
a few days old.
I wanted to operate him
under general anesthesia but he refused.
He had a suitcase with him
he was afraid somebody might steal.
So I had no choice.
He had his gun pointed at me
throughout the surgery.
- Was there anyone else with him?
- No, no, no.
You said he was dying.
Someone had to help him.
Bring him here, pick him up after.
Look, I don't know where he went.
I don't know where he is.
You just need to tell me who helped him.
He said if I said anything
he'd kill my family, and I believe him.
I can also do things to your family.
- I said shut up.
- Tell me about this man.
[gasps] Are you crazy?
Get off me, you idiot.
Are you out of your mind?
[coughing]
[gasps, retches]
[in Russian] Damn it!
[horns honking]
[in English]
It's one thing if you're risking yourself,
but don't get in my way.
- I thought you were here to help me.
- I am.
But for that, I need to get us both
out of here in one piece.
And every extra minute we're here
It's not nonsense.
Don't look at me like that.
There are things I won't do,
things Gali wouldn't want us
to do for her.
Really?
Yes. Why are you looking at me like that?
Sweetheart, your daughter
would be the first to do it.
That's not true.
You're not gettin' in?
Thank you, we'll take, uh, the next one.
Sure?
- Please.
- [doors close]
And I truly can't believe
that she wanted all of that.
Something got messed up.
She had a complication.
A complication?
Your daughter was in the army in a job
that put insane power in her hands.
Then after she got out,
someone offered her a deal:
even more power and a lot more money.
She had two options:
be a nobody, or cash in.
There is no complication.
It's all very simple.
That thing she offered Mikhail,
you know what that is?
It's something about missiles, he said.
A weapon.
What she stole isn't a bomb
that wipes out a city all at once.
It's a surgeon's scalpel.
One bank. One hospital. One power station.
Until the world collapses
from the inside, quietly.
She didn't sell a weapon, she sold chaos.
That's your daughter.
And if she were here today,
there wouldn't be a hint of a debate
and what to do with that doctor.
I need to make a call.
Meet back here at 7:00 a.m.
And stay in your room. No roaming around.
[elevator chimes]
[doors open]
[fly buzzing]
[lock beeps]
[lock beeping]
Excuse me, is the air conditioner
working in your room?
Uh, no.
No, they turn off the generator here
at 2:00.
[Orna] Really?
I don't know why they do that.
Why 2:00 a.m.?
Why turn it off at all?
[chuckles] All right.
Okay, good night.
- Good night.
- [lock beeps]
[sighs]
You okay? [stammers]
- You need help or anything?
- No.
- You sure?
- Yes.
Yes, definitely need some help here.
Thank you.
You've locked yourself outside your room?
This card it's-it's not working now.
It was working before and I, uh,
I know it will in the future, again.
So, at least I have narrowed
my problem down to the present.
- [chuckles]
- That's a good start.
Right?
I even went down to reception.
There's no one there.
You've tried, uh,
calling the hotel's number?
What?
[chuckles] That's a brilliant idea.
There you go.
[sighs]
Your phone?
- It's in the room.
- The room that is locked?
That's the one.
[line ringing]
Sorry, I-I thought I heard you speaking
Hebrew with your friend next to the lift.
Yes.
a giant fucking swastika over your head?
It's not, uh, an Indian thing?
'Cause I remember I saw
it a few times with, uh, my daughter
Listen, they don't pick up.
- Let's call in five minutes, okay?
- Sure.
Sorry, what's the deal with it?
Ooh, it's an ancient
Hindu symbol, isn't it?
In Sanskrit, it means,
like, auspiciousness, well-being.
Hitler took it, gave it a 45 degree turn,
and put it on a Nazi flag,
death to all Jews.
Peace and love.
Death to all the Jews.
[chuckles]
Fucking weird, isn't it?
One thing can be two totally
opposite things, 180 degrees apart.
[chuckles]
Forty-five.
- Forty-five degrees, you mean.
- [chuckles]
Look, I feel like I must be intruding.
Don't you need to sleep or something?
No, I can't sleep.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah, yeah.
Um, tried it. It doesn't work for me.
She's here in the same hotel?
[stammers]
It's my second visit here, yeah.
Oh, all right.
So, what are you doing this time?
I'm looking for a friend
of my daughter who's missing.
Yeah. What are you doing here?
Dunno.
she-she passed away last year,
When she died,
it's actually a bit of a relief.
I know it sounds horrid
to say it like that. [chuckles]
No.
In a way that was not healthy
or balanced at all.
Yeah.
For myself, really.
I just want you to know I did not mean
- to seduce you with my sad tale.
- [chuckles]
Don't get me started with sad tales.
I do hope you find your daughter.
[somber music playing]
- No, it's okay.
- It's okay.
- Everything's okay.
- Did I say something wrong?
Let me just go to the bathroom
for a minute,
[groans] It's your daughter's friend.
You're looking
for your daughter's friend, right?
I scared you a little bit, sorry.
A little bit, yeah?
It's all right. Hmm?
It's okay.
It's all right.
Relax.
Okay?
[chuckles]
- [grunts]
- [lamp shatters]
Rita!
Rita!
[breathing shakily]
[stranger grunts]
- [henchman shouts in Cantonese]
- [footsteps rushing]
[henchman shouting in Mandarin]
Can someone help me?
Sir, help!
Sorry, can you help me?
[grunts]
[people shouting]
[horns honking]
[henchman speaks Mandarin]
[truck honks]
[henchman] Is someone here?
No one here.
Sure?
Yes.
Come.
Easy.
[breathes shakily] Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Welcome.
[Orna] Thank you.
[sniffles]
There was this psycho kid in her school.
A real psychopath.
[sniffles]
He'd threaten her, tear up her doll.
Until one day,
he shoved her off the swing so hard,
she broke her arm.
Poor thing. And it was summer, too.
"A kid." I was Gali's age now.
I went to the teacher.
I already had it in my head
how I'd threaten her,
that if she didn't get rid of him,
I would report her.
is in the hospital.
And basically, I'm a pretty awful person
for even daring to say anything.
And I don't know why,
maybe because nobody ever
flipped a table for me,
I just folded.
I didn't even know how to approach it.
I just brushed it off.
and bought her a new doll.
[chuckles]
And I mostly just waited
for it to sort itself out.
[crying] But looking back,
I've got a thousand stories like that.
[cries]
So what the hell do I know?
Maybe if the only option
she turned into a bully.
Very touching. What a story.
Are you angry at me about what happened?
Not relevant to the discussion.
What discussion?
The discussion,
and I'm intentionally
being gentle about this,
about whether you're the most
naive woman alive, or the dumbest?
- Either way, you're living in a fantasy.
- Okay.
Explain.
You tell me a sad story about how
the teacher made excuses for a bully.
He's sick, his family's sick, poor thing.
But at the end of the day,
you know exactly what he is.
Just a dumb kid
who broke your daughter's arm.
Okay.
Okay, so what do you do,
in the same breath?
You're exactly like the teacher.
You give me a thousand excuses for Gali.
"It's my fault, not her fault.
It doesn't matter she didn't understand
what she was getting into,
and that she didn't mean to.
Because at the end of the day,
you and I both know
exactly what she is.
It's not the same. It's different.
How is it any different?
Because she's my daughter.
[knocks on door]
[knocks on door]
- [toddler cries]
If it's too hard, wait out here.
My son found him in the bus
to the airport when he was cleaning.
He was wounded.
Someone shot him.
And he didn't want to go to a hospital.
So he didn't know what to do.
I told him right away.
I told him, "Call the police."
But then the Israeli offered him money,
a thousand dollars cash.
He said there'd be more if we helped him,
so we brought him here.
And then?
We helped him.
My brother, he knows this man.
- He deals with stuff like this.
- [toddler cries]
So he got us in touch
with a doctor here in Mumbai.
And also arranged
for a new passport for him.
But, for all this,
he needed much more money.
Why didn't he get the money
they sent him?
[in Hindi] Forget the money.
- Let them take it and leave!
[in English] I don't care about the money.
I just want to know where he is.
[woman]
We didn't do really anything to him.
- [toddler crying]
- He just started feeling very bad.
Very bad.
I think his wound got infected.
He wouldn't go to a hospital.
I didn't want to go to the police.
We didn't want to get in trouble.
Where is he now?
It's here?
[in Hindi] It's here.
[unsettling music playing]
[shovel clangs]
[gasps]
[gags]
[coughing]
[flies buzzing]
[Orna coughing]
[coughs]
[coughs]
[coughs]
- [grunts]
- [coughs]
[in English]
We need to sleep here tonight.
We will leave tomorrow.
We won't tell anyone anything.
[line ringing]
- [colleague 1] Yes?
- It's Rita.
Oh, hi. One sec, I'll put you through.
- [clears throat]
- [line ringing]
What are you doing there, Olga?
Vera?
Mila?
- Polina?
- [chicken squawks]
Oh, hi, Polina. Good evening.
- [colleague 2] Who's Polina?
- No one.
Listen, I want you guys to start thinking
what you're getting me for the holiday.
I need a vacation.
Somewhere nice and warm.
Maybe Mallorca.
Seriously? That's great news.
Get me the first flight to Tel Aviv.
There's one tonight.
Are you somewhere safe?
Oh, yeah. I'm in a perfect place.
Perfect. Emailing it now.
[in Russian]
Polina, what are you doing tonight?
[clicks tongue]
[door closes]
[in English] All clear, stand down.
They're putting us on a flight
to Moscow tomorrow at noon.
- From which airport?
- Chhatrapati.
That's the earliest they've got.
Get some sleep.
[phone buzzing]
Orna?
Hello?
Sorry to call like this, I
Did something happen?
It's probably the middle
of the night there.
It's okay, it's okay, where are you?
Are you okay?
[chuckling] No, not really.
[Rita] I adore you, you know that?
You're like a movie character, like Bambi.
Living in some magical forest,
while the rest of us
are up to our necks in the mud.
But you did okay.
What did you think I'd turn out to be?
I don't know.
I didn't really think about it.
But some people, you just know, don't you?
You can smell it on them.
They're back-seat people.
Not ones who decide where they're headed.
[Dori] No, Orna, you're not like that.
You never were.
I'm thirsty. Want some water?
[Rita] Yes, please.
[Orna] I actually think
I've always been like this.
With Benny, and the pregnancy.
With you too.
I don't see you that way.
[cries, sniffles]
[Dori] Not now, for sure.
I think only now I'm at the point
where I feel ready to be a mom.
And my daughter is 23 years old.
[crying]
Isn't that terrible?
It's not "not terrible".
[chuckles]
But it is better late than never, no?
[Orna] Here.
[sighs] Thanks.
Is everything okay? I'm a bit worried.
I'm okay.
Thanks, Dori. You helped me.
[line disconnects]
[rooster crows]
[horn honking]
[clucks]
Orna?
Orna?
[dramatic music playing]
Orna!
[scooter honks]
Where is she?
My friend, where is she?
She told not to wake you up.
She said you don't feel well.
She left?
Yeah. A few hours ago.
[line ringing]
- [colleague 1] Yes?
- It's Rita.
[colleague 1]
One sec, putting you through.
- [colleague 2] Aren't you on the flight?
- Hold on.
I need a flight to Moscow. It's urgent.
[colleague 2] Moscow?
You've got the package?
I need a flight.
On the Israeli passport?
Rita?
[upbeat music playing]
