Get down, f***er!

Calm down!

What are you doing, Dando?!

Dando!

Dando!

-Third Chapter-

-Ayami Neighbourhood Jaffa-

[Arabic]

I'm sick of him.

Easy.

-He's a pain in the ass.

[Hebrew] Hi, guys.

-Hello. Hello.

Hello.

"Shampoo Negriz".

-What's up?

Okay.

-How are you?

Not so good actually.

Why?

What's wrong?

I haven't slept in three days.

-Why?

These sheeps, and this zoo...

it's driving me nuts.

It's Jacko, the cock.

He's under stress.

Listen.

It's been three weeks...

Aryeh.

When you came here...

and I told you that

they make noise once a year...

you believed me?!

-Yes, Am I farmer?!

A sheep bleats once a year?

-Am I a vet?!

That's the way sheeps are.

Okay.

I may seems like a goldfish,

but I'm a shark.

Listen!

I've already checked everything

with the municipality.

According to law

you can't raise animals here.

Cut the fish talk.

Am I a fisherman? -No, listen!

Screwing my head

with the municipality...

According to your laws

we shouldn't be here at all,

don't piss me out with your laws!

Listen!

In Jaffa, there is no municipality.

Not for me.

It exists only in your Tel Aviv.

-Listen!...

Those sheeps are out of here

or else...

No, you're out of here.

Really?! -Yes.

-Let's see!

Let's see!

Let's see you try!

Enough. He's an older man.

-Let's see!

Enough!

-You think I'm wimp?!

Go home!

-Don't push me!

Enough.

-Go home!

No. I'm not.

-Go home!

Take him aside!

Come on, we're neighbours...

I haven't slept in 3 weeks.

So what?

You think I'm wimp?!

-You're the king of wimps.

Motherf***er!

Who do you think you are?

We'll have you for breakfast.

What have you done?

Run! Run!

[Hebrew] Daddy...

[Hebrew] What heppened?

-A stabbing.

Dispach, from 71...

Assaf Harofeh St.,

a man lying on the street.

Stab wound in the chest...

Wait...

No pulse.

Starting CPR.

Copy that...

Go, Dando!

Go, Dando!

Go, Dando!

Dando, go!

I want to tell him something.

I want to talk to him.

No! Let me go!...

In a place of poverty,

despair, and drugs gangs...

a gun or a knife are easy to draw.

Last night the victim was

a father of three.

He was stabbed in the heart,

and died within seconds.

Mommy is here.

-Hi.

Mommy is here.

-How are you?

I have poop. -Really?

-Yes.

Shall we change your diaper?

-No. Daddy.

Daddy? Great!

Maybe Mommy? Daddy's tired.

-No, Daddy.

Daddy's tired. what's up?

-Okay.

Is everything okay?

-Could be better.

What?

Why are you so serious?

It doesn't matter now.

This ruthless murder is...

Daddy!

-Yes. honey.

What's this?

-What heppened?

A guy was murdered in Jaffa.

The whole department worked

I haven't slept,

because the kids drove me nuts.

Bless their hearts.

Honey, close your eyes.

Lilush.

Close your eyes.

-Orthodox Jewish Neighbourhood-

Or here?

Ah, there's no glass here.

Hold it, Mom!

-Here.

Have you seen him?

He's my brother.

There you go, bro.

You have one?

Here!

Someone said he saw him

in this area...

maybe...

-Why here?

Maybe he became religious

and he's hiding. Anything's possible.

Put it on the bulletin board.

Only a prayer can help.

Pray everyday. and you'll find him.

Guaranteed.

Song of Ascents...

I turn my eyes

to the mountaines...

from where.

will my help come?

My help comes from the Lord,

creator of heaven and earth.

He will not let you fall.

-Jewish village east of Tel Aviv-

When it happened,

I was in the U.S.A.,

I read that

he was in military training,

and had a dispute

with the sergeant,

He was confined to base...

-Yes.

and then called you

to say he was coming home...

to take clothes for the confinement

and return to the base.

Okay.

And that was our last

conversation.

You still turn to the police

or the army?

To the police not at all.

They're waiting for something

to come up...

They're not doing anything.

Until it affects you personally,

it's something on the news.

When it's someone related to you,

your life changes.

It ends.

In a few years,

my daughter will go to the army.

Will she come back?

You connect everything with Yoni.

There is no life.

Our lives ended

the minute he disappeared.

And we don't know

if he'll return.

Is it possible that he is hiding?

-No. absolutely not.

But we don't know that.

-Yoni was on his way home.

They think that...

from all the nonsense

they've fed us...

that maybe he's in a cult

or religious...

Someone kidnapped him,

and is holding him by force.

But why would they do that?

-But you know him.

You know that he wouldn't

hurt us like that.

But, Mom, sometimes...

Maybe...

Maybe he got hooked up with

people and ideas...

that we don't even realise.

Within the few hours

since he said he's coming home?

He wasn't happy in the army.

But at home he was happy.

-Okay.

He was on his way home.

-As far as we know.

You want to go out for a while?

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

You have nothing to be sorry for.

For hurting you all...

-You're not hurting anyone.

I still have the two of you.

-You have the three of us.

You're strong,

and we all love you.

Drive slowly, so you don't lose

the exhaust pipe

I hate this f***ing place.

It's like Gaza here.

Selling?

-Yes.

How much? -20 shekels.

-Give me!

What size are they?

What size?

How do I know?

Question is where you get them.

-F***ing...

F*** you!

Where did you get them?

Go...! You...

Tell me where you got them.

-From the garbage.

You're lying.

-Put them back in the garbage.

Put them back! You a**hole!

Go ahead, I'm listening.

On Tapuakh St... You'll find

Salem Abed in a grey Honda.

He's under house arrest.

-Right.

He's breaking house arrest.

Make a right!

Copy. I'll pick him up.

[Arabic]

I'll bust his head.

Guys! Move your car!

Abed Salem.

-Move the car!

What's up?

-Hello... -Everything's okay?

Get out!

-Opening the car without telling me?!

Get out!

I'm not Abed.

-Abed, get out.

Okay. Let go of my arm.

Your brother?

-My neighbour.

We're police.

Everything's okay.

But why is he...?

Raed! Saleh!

We have crowd interference.

Wait a minute!

Salem, I'll f*** you!

Salem, I'll f*** you!

I'll f*** you!

-Move, damn it!

Run away!

Run away!

Abed Salem is a drug dealler.

sells drugs in the neighbourhood,

Police try to arrest him,

to help them.

and they hit the police.

-Because you reduced the pressure.

because if you didn't...

-They help a criminal escape.

and you feel this small,

and the people criticize you.

They understand nothing.

The street has its rules.

Act accordingly!

We have 70 burglaries a night.

Burglaries, stake-outs...

and arrests around the clock?!

We're exhausted.

Angel, you wanted to be a cop?

Excuse me,

why arrest a drug dealer?

His neighbours,

whose kids buy his drugs,

help him and release him.

Why?

Because they hate us!

Guys, I don't want this to be...

It's hot?

-Yes.

Right.

Let's wait for it to cool,

and then get in, okay?

-Yes. -Okay?

Is that good water?

You want good water?

-Yes. -Okay.
