Black Space (2020) s01e01 Episode Script

1
Good morning, 12th-graders
of Heritage High School.
This is a difficult day for us,
Memorial Day for the Fallen Soldiers
of the Wars of Israel
and Victims of Acts of Terrorism.
I look at you 12th-graders,
you're joining the IDF
in a few months, and I know
that we've created
a wonderful place for you,
fertile soil in which to flourish.
We've also taught you
about war and hostility and violence.
So in memory of the fallen
and in honor of the living
we must always seek peace and pursue it.
May He who makes peace in His heavens
grant peace to us and to all Jews. Amen.
REMEMBER
The autumn night falls on the Negev
And ignites stars silently
The wind blows over the threshold
Stars walk along the road
For nearly a year we've hardly noticed
How time passes over our fields
It's been a year and few of us remain
How many are those no longer among us
But we will remember them all
The handsome, young bequiffed men…
HERITAGE HIGH SCHOOL
HQ, gunshots at 38, Heritage High,
send squad cars.
HQ, I repeat,
send cars immediately,
the school is locked. I've been shot.
I see the pupil has dilated nicely,
now we'll take the picture.
-Can I…
-No, no.
The image is superimposed
on an eye printed in 3D
made of acrylic that looks
identical to the healthy eye.
That's it.
You should've replaced it long ago,
it's all faded.
Your vision will be blurry from the drops.
I know.
There's a crack in the glass here
that scratched you
and started an infection.
Your extraocular muscles are intact
and you're damaging them,
you're endangering
your eye's ability to move.
Your eye needs to rest.
Take the antibiotics,
wear a patch
and allow the infection to heal.
The new prosthesis will be ready
in a few weeks.
It's okay, I'm used to it.
Davidi,
you're taking a risk. Don't be childish.
Don't worry, I'll keep doing the drops.
And no driving
for the next few hours, okay?
SHOOTING AT HERITAGE HIGH SCHOOL
NUMBER OF CASUALTIES UNKNOWN…
Russo, I saw the alert about
the high school, I'm a minute away.
Don't you have interrogations
at the prison now?
I'm right there,
I'll be there in a minute.
Yigal, where are the reinforcements?
Did they call you?
-When will they get here?
-Be there in two.
All units…
I want this place sealed off.
Are the ambulances on the way?
Rami Davidi, Special Investigations.
What's going on?
-Why send Special Investigation?
-They didn't, I saw the alert.
What's happening?
All we know is that gunshots were
heard from the school 15 minutes ago,
we got here within a few minutes
and everything's locked tight.
A security guard tried to get in
and got shot in the hand.
Didn't see a thing.
So we don't know what's happening inside?
No. We bullhorned them twice. No response.
-Ambulances?
-On the way.
Another squad will be here in two,
then we move in.
Either they fired and fled
before we got here
or they're holding everyone hostage.
Herzl, put this on.
We're going in in two, okay?
You and me are first.
You cover us from behind.
I'm going in with you.
MIRI CALLING
We've got a wounded kid here.
What about the kids?
Why don't you take them out?
My daughter wrote me:
"Mom, they're shooting at us."
She filmed everything!
-You can't go in.
-Let her in!
Get them out already!
-Can I see what she filmed?
-Get them out already…
Soon, soon.
But we will remember them all
REMEMBER
The handsome…
We'll have them out soon.
There are casualties inside.
They're wearing horse masks.
-Unicorn.
-What?
Unicorn masks.
Be careful.
Here, take this. What happened?
-Hey, are you with me?
-They shot at us.
Who did? What did you see?
We don't know. Suddenly it started, and--
What started? You aren't making sense.
We don't know, we didn't see.
Tuck his arm in.
What's going on in there?
Hey, I need to know
exactly what's happening.
They shot at us in the middle
of the ceremony, a few of them,
dressed in black with white masks.
-How many?
-I don't know.
Three, five, wearing scary unicorn masks,
we ran away, we saw nothing.
And they're holding everyone inside?
I don't think so.
Is the whole school in there?
No, only the 12th grade.
The rest are at the municipal ceremony.
We enter through that window,
go to the main door and open it.
Team one goes in,
team two covers from behind.
you can't just barge in,
there may be more hostages.
They may be holding them at gunpoint.
You want to wait for them to come out?
We're going in.
-David, are you armed?
-Listen.
-Hands off!
-Listen.
-Listen to me!
-What are you doing?
If we don't go in quietly,
we'll have a pile of corpses here.
So what do you want?
Go in through the back,
through the bomb shelter,
and straight up into the school.
I know the layout, I went to school here.
Let them know we're breaking in.
I want roadblocks in a one-mile radius
in every direction
and I want choppers in the air right now.
Get ready to evacuate the wounded.
HERITAGE HIGH SCHOOL
There's someone here.
Medic.
-Were you shot?
-No, I jumped.
I can't move.
We can't move her now.
Gabby, bring a stretcher,
there's a wounded girl outside.
-What's your name?
-Natalie.
Natalie, I'm Officer Rami Davidi.
You'll be okay.
They shot him. I saw it.
I opened the window and didn't know
what to do, so I jumped.
Come to the shelter.
RESERVOIR
Holy shit!
Let's go in.
Did you open the doors?
Soon. Stay together.
They'll evacuate you soon.
-Did you see the killers?
-No.
-Are you hurt?
-What? No.
-Did you see them?
-No, I didn't see anything.
Police!
He was shot in the knee.
Stay here,
they'll get you out in a minute.
You're the principal, Hanoch, right?
Make sure nobody moves.
Get over here!
I don't know where to go.
Maayan, don't go…
Are you okay?
-Were you shot?
-No, I just got cut.
Kobi, update me.
We searched the southern wing,
they're not here.
We're sending in rescue teams
and evacuating the kids.
Copy that.
HERITAGE HIGH SCHOOL
What's the story, Russo?
Roadblocks. Nothing yet.
Moshiko's on the way,
he spoke to me directly.
You know how I love to talk
to Moshiko directly.
What've we got?
So far, according to witnesses,
looks like three or four gunmen,
they all described overalls of some kind
and unicorn masks.
We're on the security cameras,
we'll see them leaving.
You responded quickly
so they can't have gone far.
Zoom in on that camera, please.
I saw Ligal, she said you're okay.
Where were you?
Here. I was looking for you
fucking everywhere.
No, where were you before?
I dunno, I heard the gunshots and I…
You were supposed to sit next to me
at the ceremony, before the shooting.
Yeah, I don't know…
Let's go home.
-The motherfuckers won't let us out.
-Why not?
Have you seen Tom?
-I saw him before, I think he's okay.
-Okay.
I don't think he's so okay.
What? Why not?
-Why not?
-Because of Yaron.
-What?
-Sorry, I thought you knew.
It's okay.
Tom!
Are you alright?
I don't know… I can't really breathe.
-Did you hear about Yaron?
-Yeah.
He killed Yaron,
then held a gun to my head.
He nearly killed me, Shir,
I thought I was gonna die.
At least it's over now.
It's over, Tom.
Open up!
Still no information on what happened
at Heritage High this morning.
What do you think you're doing?
We're their parents.
What's going on here?
I want to know where my son is.
His name is Omer Rokach.
I told you, we don't know who's been hurt,
so please be patient.
How will I know if he's hurt?
We're making a list
of everyone who goes out,
soon we'll have everything listed
and cleared up.
Do you hear what you're saying?
You don't know where our children are!
Calm down, Valerie,
let's find out what's happening,
maybe Shaul and Natalie's friends
saw them.
Please wait patiently,
I don't know what to tell you now.
I want information on Natalie Stein.
You hear me? Now!
-I want to see my son.
-I'm sorry, you can't go in.
-I want to see my son, now.
-You'll see him soon…
I don't care, I want to see my son now.
-Sir, you can't.
-I don't care. I want to see my son!
Please, both of you.
Please… They're worried about
their children, okay?
Put yourself in their place.
-Relax, it'll be all right.
-Calm down.
Dear parents,
I ask you to be patient,
all we can do now is be patient.
I know this is an impossible situation
but the police are doing their job
and the second I know something,
I promise to come here
and tell you everything I know.
We don't know much about what's
happening at Heritage High so far,
but according to reports
there are casualties--
-Hey, Mirch, what's up?
-Rami, is it for real?
You're on TV, they've been showing
the same footage for two hours now.
Yeah, it's a madhouse. Are you okay?
I saw you called.
That was before I heard
about the attack. Never mind.
Never mind what? You called three times.
Never mind, I'm fine, just a little pain…
Terrible heartburn, but never mind.
How's your eye?
Put yourself on video.
-Babe, I said I'm fine.
-Switch to video.
Look how huge I am.
What kind of pain?
I dunno, it's probably nothing.
I'll make tea with ginger,
we have ginger, don't we?
I looked in the cupboard…
VISITORS LIST - AC REPAIR
Mirch, babe, I have to hang up, okay?
Have your mom take you to ER.
Don't worry about me. Bye.
-Russo. On the roof.
-What?
Any information we have, I promise,
you'll hear it.
But why won't they let us in?
Police!
On the ground!
Leave him alone!
-Where are your guns?
-We didn't do anything!
Where are your guns?
We didn't do anything!
Where are your guns?
Where are your guns?
What guns? We don't know anything.
We heard gunshots and we hid.
Who sent you? Hamas? Jihad?
Nobody sent us, we work here.
Did you plan the attack?
We didn't plan anything.
Listen here, okay?
I'll punch you in the mouth for every lie
until you have no teeth left.
Where did you hide the guns?
We didn't hide anything.
We just came to work
when suddenly we heard shooting
and we hid.
I want them under tight guard
until we get them downstairs.
Don't let the press or anyone else in.
We've got three workers on the roof.
Don't let the press in. Over and out.
Moshiko, we just arrested
three Palestinian workers on the roof,
suspected political murder,
I'm calling in the GSS.
I'm always telling them, you're unbearable
but you have the instincts of a hawk.
Good work.
Menny.
Get your crew together
and look for the guns, okay?
Get it done before nightfall.
Maybe you should send someone
to the courtyard.
-Please, I need my bag.
-I told you, kid, get out.
Okay, but I need my bag.
Don't you get it?
Where do you think you're going?
-Nobody goes in.
-I left it in class.
You'll get it at the station
in a day or two.
Zohar, what's the problem?
-I need my bag.
-Nobody goes in. Off limits.
-My friends just got killed!
-Zohar--
Go catch the killers, why bother me?
Let me handle this.
-Can you let him go in for a second?
-No.
What if I go in? Zohar, where's your bag?
What's in it?
What's in it, Zohar?
Tefillin.
What's your name?
Osnat, I'm the vice principal.
Listen, Osnat,
we have 200 backpacks
and a pile of corpses,
so I suggest you take Mr. Brains here
and buzz off,
because we don't care about
his Tefillin or dope or whatever it is
and you don't want us to care.
Whenever you're ready.
Come, Zohar.
-Nobody goes in.
-Got it.
EZRA AC AND REFRIGERATION
The guard doesn't even check them.
SECOND ENTRANCE
What do you see?
Our friends drove in this morning,
nobody checked them,
that's how they got the guns in.
I have a press conference,
I have to say something.
Is the GSS in the picture?
They ran a check,
the contractor has permits for two of them
but the third, Khaled el-Awadi,
is here illegally.
They worked here all week
so they knew about the ceremony.
Where are the guns?
Is that all you want?
They were on the roof. Where are the guns?
We'll find them.
Give me an edit of that segment.
Yes?
Yes, it's apparently a political act.
-What are you looking for?
-I dunno, something's wrong here.
Osnat!
Can you come here a sec?
What do you want now?
-How long have you worked here?
-Seven years.
And you know all the students?
-Yes.
-Good. Can you help us?
Come here.
We need your help, okay?
These are the school security cameras.
I want you to watch
from opening time until noon
and see if there's anyone
you don't recognize going in or out.
-You mean those workers?
-Or anyone else.
It's important. Concentrate. Thanks.
-And "Sorry I was so rough on you"?
-Yes.
Everything okay?
Are you asking me seriously?
Why don't you come out?
My battery died.
I haven't spoken to anyone.
I don't know who…
I understand, but you can't stay here.
The school's been sealed off.
You have to leave.
-I can't.
-You have no choice.
Yes?
Are we ready to take in the prisoners?
Okay, copy that.
-Was it a terrorist attack?
-Get out.
-Burn them!
-This is unheard of!
-Shame on you!
-Kill them!
As we announced this morning,
there was a shooting incident
during the Memorial Day ceremony
at Rabin Heritage High School.
Four students were killed
and their parents are now being informed.
Local police along with officers
from Special Investigations
evacuated the students
and arrested the suspects.
It was a tragic incident,
apparently politically motivated,
and that's all we can reveal
at this point.
As mayor,
I want to send the families
our condolences
and wish the wounded children
a speedy recovery,
including my son Eran.
In light of these events,
Independence Day celebrations
will not be held in the city.
What can you tell us about the suspects?
Major General Russo, why don't the police…
Did they find the guns?
Not yet. What've we got so far?
Not much. Here's the victim's blood,
there are signs of a struggle
but the scene's very clean.
Struggle? Where?
Here.
There drag-marks here, and there,
looks like they dragged him
to the shelter but he fought back.
-Are there drag-marks on the stairs?
-No.
How can that be?
Could they have picked him up
on the stairs and thrown him here?
That makes no sense.
They shot the others in their tracks.
What did they want here?
They tried to escape,
looked for a way out…
So they were on the roof,
they came down and shot everyone,
they came down here, ran into trouble,
tried to get out, weren't able to,
and went back to the roof?
Why go back to the roof?
They have a perfect exit route here.
-What is it, Eli?
-Nothing, I'm fine.
-What is it?
-It's nothing.
-I'm okay, I…
-Got any water?
-Don't worry about it.
-What's wrong?
You know me, Davidi, I've been
doing this shit for 20 years…
Thanks.
I've seen it all and nothing bothers me,
but when it comes to kids… I dunno…
It's not…
-I see.
-It's not…
PUMP ROOM
STUDENT FILE
Excuse me, sir,
I need you to leave the premises.
Give me a few minutes.
I'm sorry, we're closing the school
for the night.
No one stays but the police.
It's okay, I'll just finish this
and I'll be right out.
Sir, I'm asking you
to vacate the premises.
I heard you!
I have to write four eulogies
for tomorrow, okay?
I need to prepare
for four funerals tomorrow
and I need to do it right here and now.
I apologize.
Sorry, I shouldn't have
lashed out like that…
I just need a minute or two.
Thanks.
-Well?
-Nothing, Davidi.
What do you mean, nothing? Makes no sense.
The guns have to be here.
-That's how it is.
-What about the courtyard?
It's too dark now, we're packing it in.
I'm sure the Arabs will talk tonight.
Sorry about this morning.
I didn't know who you were.
-It's alright, just find those guns.
-Okay.
YARON
Dor, I already miss you
Forgive us
Hi, it's Osnat, the vice principal
from Heritage High.
Yes?
I watched everything.
I recognize everyone.
-Are you sure?
-Hundred percent.
Besides the workers' truck,
they're all our students and teachers.
Fuck…
Thank you.
Sorry. Thank you, Osnat.
-Good night.
-Good night.
Latest information
on this morning's tragic incident
in which four 12-graders
from Heritage High School were killed,
the police currently considers it
a terrorist act,
however, no terrorist organization
has taken responsibility for it so far.
According to reports, three Palestinians
were caught on the school roof
and were taken in
for immediate interrogation.
As expected, Independence Day
celebrations were canceled
and the city is preparing for
the funerals of four of its children.
According to information
we received from the police,
we still do not know anything about
the identities of the suspects…
Russo?
…beyond the information
that they are staying illegally,
which were on the roof of the building
at the time of the incident.
It's the students. They did it.
I'm sure.
I've never seen an attack like this.
What are you saying?
That we have 900-something suspects?
I'm gonna find you.
What?
They've vanished. Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter… gone.
We have to find out where they're talking.
They can't have just disappeared.
It could be anyone, even you,
the question is,
who'd have the guts to do it?
One of you raised a child
who killed the child I raised.
These kids nowadays,
they're not what we're used to.
Not just anyone makes the list, you know.
Chino, what is this?
You send a kid to high school
and they can turn into anything.
Put the knife down.
You're telling me how to raise my son?
I never imagined you'd become a cop.
You thought I'd be on the other side.
You're getting carried away
with these kids,
with this investigation, with your past.
Someone else is in the crosshairs.
AN EYE FOR AN EYE
These kids are different,
they're hiding something.
I can't figure them out.
I'm just thinking about their parents.
Must be crazy
to be the parent of a kid that age.
You have no control over what they do.
None at all.
Heritage High,
did you think the nightmare was over?
