Black Space (2020) s01e02 Episode Script

1
HQ, gunshots at 38,
Heritage High School, send squad cars.
Rami Davidi, Special Investigations.
I want to go in through the back,
through the bomb shelter,
I know the place, I went to school here.
Were you shot?
No, I jumped. I can't move.
Police! On the ground!
-Where are the guns?
-We just came here to work.
A shooting happened
at Rabin Heritage High School
during the Memorial Day ceremony.
Heaven help us…
A tragic incident,
apparently a terrorist act.
Where were you?
I dunno, the shooting started and I…
-I left my backpack in class.
-What's in it?
Tefillin.
He killed Yaron,
then put a gun to my head.
It's over now.
-Well?
-Nothing, Davidi.
It doesn't make sense,
the guns must be here.
However, no terrorist organization
has taken responsibility for the incident.
Russo.
It's the students, they did it.
I'm sure of it.
INTERROGATION ROOM 05
I was with Itamar
when the ceremony started.
We just stood there and watched
Meirav, she started singing.
The autumn night falls on the Negev…
Then while Meirav was singing,
people came in wearing unicorn masks
and started shooting everyone.
He started…
He just started shooting at…
At Meirav and Tzahi.
REMEMBER
They had these unicorn masks
and then they ran amok,
shooting in all directions.
The gunshots?
At first I didn't know
what was going on, it was so…
I was like…
"That's it, it's all over."
I can't stop picturing
Tzahi and Meirav lying there.
Without Meirav…
I don't know what I'll do.
We're friends since kindergarten.
And then…
I saw Eran Sagi lying on the stairs.
There was blood, too.
And then Libby came along.
Then we picked him up
and went out through the window
of the principal's office.
"Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God…"
"Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God…"
Which classroom were you in?
I dunno, I wasn't there the whole time,
I ran straight to the bathroom
to smoke a joint.
Yes, I remember being at the ceremony,
and then "boom", and…
-I blacked out.
-You said you ran upstairs.
INTERROGATION ROOM 03
A minute ago, you said:
"I heard gunshots and ran upstairs.
I felt something was protecting me."
I don't know exactly what…
Yeah, right, maybe it was…
the second floor. You're right.
I dunno, I mean…
It was fuckin' chaos.
I don't know, I can't remember.
I sort of deleted the memory.
Yes, I remember being at the ceremony,
and then "boom", and…
As you see, it's one contradiction
after another.
Each testimony
calls three others into question.
Maybe they really are confused.
Why would they lie?
It was a terrorist attack,
they're traumatized.
I've never seen
a terrorist attack like that.
Why would the terrorists wear masks?
Why hasn't any organization
claimed they did it?
Why are there so few casualties?
And most importantly,
where are the guns?
Does this sound likely to you?
He says it so confidently…
Friends, let's keep the chatter down
and let Davidi talk.
Go on, Davidi.
I believe the students did it.
There's no other possibility.
They came in with the others
in the morning,
put on masks, shot,
then came out with the others
pretending to be victims.
What are you saying,
that we have 900-something suspects?
No, the 10th and 11th-graders
were at the municipal ceremony.
Four hundred and ten people were
in the school at the time of the massacre.
Take away the teachers, the casualties,
that leaves us with 356 suspects.
Forensics figures there were four guns.
So of those 356, we're looking for four.
We need detainees, not suspects.
How soon can you bring them to me?
We're still going over the testimonies.
It's a delicate situation.
GSS, what do we know about the detainees?
All three are from East Jerusalem,
two of them have relatives in Hamas.
We're on it.
We need a complete profile on them,
social media, everything.
What kind of game are you playing?
Rami, calm down.
The school reopens tomorrow,
you want us to say it isn't safe?
Yes, because it isn't safe,
we have four killers on the loose.
The important thing now
is to make them feel safe,
even if they really aren't.
Do you hear what you're saying?
Are we the police
or the public psychology bureau?
If we want the people to feel safe
we have to catch the culprits, period.
I'm not going to hold a press conference
and say that four children
carried out a massacre
and we have no idea who did it,
but there's no need to worry
because we have only 350 suspects.
That won't happen.
I want the three Arabs arraigned.
As long as we have no other suspects,
we're going with them full-force.
No problem.
Here he comes.
Superintendent Davidi, a few questions.
Any comments?
Superintendent Davidi, a few questions.
What can you tell us so far?
How's the investigation going?
Superintendent Davidi, when will you
admit this was a terrorist attack?
Yesterday, the Defense Minister
announced a response to the massacre
and we heard that troops
are being called up.
What can we learn
from the latest developments?
All I can say is there's a gag order
on all details of the incident,
the investigation is coming along,
things are becoming clear,
and yes,
so far it looks like a political act.
Superintendent Davidi, what's it like
to go back to your old high school
under such tragic circumstances?
Can you tell us that much?
Is the school going to reopen soon?
-Superintendent Davidi, can you--
-Superintendent…
Is it always like this?
Sounds like a horse.
Hey, who you calling a horse?
It's a noble mare.
I see the contractions are continuing,
but they're very infrequent.
-Intensity?
-The same.
Okay…
The cervix is still extended
despite the contractions,
so you don't need to be under observation,
but I recommend that you drink a lot,
get a lot of rest,
and I want you to do a urine test.
We'll keep following up.
What you need is rest and relaxation
but if you feel the need,
you can always come in.
Don't hesitate.
Take good care of her.
Rami.
Yes, of course.
Thanks, Doctor.
MATERNITY WARD
-What's with you?
-What's with you?
What?
It's an important examination,
the doctor's telling you what's
happening with your daughter, with me,
and you're out of it.
Sorry, Mirch, my mind is elsewhere.
-Okay, so where are you?
-At Heritage High.
That again? Come on, Rami.
You caught the terrorists, end of story.
-What's the problem?
-It's all wrong.
What do you mean?
They're giving everyone the runaround.
What are you talking about?
The kids did it. One of them.
Are you joking?
The whole school is made up
of cliques, there is no unity.
You've got Shaul, Maayan and Reef,
on the roof all day,
smoking, drinking, fooling around.
I wouldn't say the school has cliques,
you relate to whoever you relate to.
I've got my own friends.
Yeah, there's violence,
but it's like anywhere else,
people fight, they…
Once, I saw Reef and Zohar arguing,
Zohar was dissing Reef
and then Reef hit him.
You've got the high-class kids,
Tom and Shir and Ligal, Yahli…
All the "neckties".
Kids in my clique
don't really talk to them.
I have no interaction with them.
Everyone's pissed off at everyone…
This guy attacks that guy, he's mad at
her 'cause she was with another guy,
I stay out of it.
There are so many nutcases at school…
I have no idea.
You can't move your leg at all?
You don't feel anything?
No.
Bizarre.
They say the nerves rebuild themselves
but it'll take a few weeks or months.
-You'll be like this for months?
-Could be.
You realize if he wasn't
so screwed up, you'd be okay?
But he is screwed up, you know how he is.
You think he knew it was you?
You could've died because of him.
I feel like killing that jerk.
He acts so innocent.
We announce the untimely death
of our beloved Dor Oron…
Remember the annual field trip?
-He didn't want to go.
-No.
He agreed… Three days now…
Just a minute.
Rami.
-We haven't spoken yet.
-No, we haven't.
Still at Heritage High, huh?
Until retirement and then some.
Good for you.
Dor's mother Michal
is feeling very fragile.
Not a good time for questions.
-I'm not here to ask questions.
-Still.
Let's show some respect.
I never imagined you'd become a policeman.
You thought I'd work for the other side.
Look at you, Rami Davidi.
You always had a tough look.
Anyway, it's good to see you,
even under these circumstances.
I'm going back.
Russo: "Reenactment at school.
Get over there."
Isn't this where you went up?
Yes. We went to the roof from here.
You shot other kids on the way,
didn't you?
-Yes.
-Show us where it happened.
Come show me how you shot them.
No, face me.
You were facing this way, weren't you?
Oh, right.
REMEMBER
Is this a joke? He doesn't know anything.
Soon, there'll be a reprisal
and half the country will be drafted.
I know the Arabs are the easy way out
but I don't think you get it.
Don't you see it's too quiet?
They're putting us to sleep.
-Who?
-Who? The kids.
Oh, please, Davidi.
If we sweep this under the rug,
it'll blow up in our face.
I wish I could agree,
but you have nothing to go on.
The school has to reopen tomorrow
and saying everyone is under suspicion
is like saying nothing. I need more.
Like what? More corpses?
Will that convince you?
That's enough! You hear me?
When you have something solid,
let me know.
Are you serious, Russo?
-As serious as it gets.
-Fine.
Yes?
You won't see anything from here.
Try the front window.
No, I just…
-I just wanted--
-Just wanted what?
This area is off limits.
You'd think the Prime Minister was here.
-It's only that damn terrorist.
-And you wanted his picture?
No, but then you showed up.
What did you want?
A friend of mine,
she jumped out the window.
-Natalie.
-Yeah.
And she lost her earring,
so I said I'd come look for it.
That's the best story
you can come up with?
Hard times.
-Gimme your phone.
-What for?
You have to delete the photos.
I'll do it.
Give it here.
-Yikes, how can we go back tomorrow?
-I can't walk into school.
-What's this? WhatsApp?
-No, it's nothing.
Can I have my phone? Finished?
-They caught them, it's over.
-What if it isn't them?
You can't confiscate it. That's illegal.
Take it and buzz off.
You can go out the front gate.
I prefer this way.
Heritage High is home.
And I have no doubt that our kids
want to come back home.
I've been in this wonderful place
for 25 years
and I know what I'm saying,
we'll restore their faith in humanity.
I just saw Hanoch on TV, he says
they're reopening the school tomorrow.
Are you okay?
Let me do that.
Sit.
I don't even know where to begin.
It's like
they don't want to hear the truth.
I understand them.
Your truth sounds very bad.
-You're such a babe.
-Yeah, right.
Sorry I'm not at home,
this whole investigation,
this whitewash is driving me crazy.
Okay.
The Arabs didn't do it, I know it,
Russo knows it,
but she's sticking to--
Honey,
just say what you have to say
and get it over with.
It's very simple.
Good morning, everyone.
HERITAGE HIGH SCHOOL
Four days after the horrific massacre
we experienced here together,
Rabin Heritage High School reopens today.
It's a heartbreaking opening,
too many are missing.
Here with us today
are the Minister of Education,
Parliament Member Modai,
and our honored mayor,
who is also the father of our Eran
who was injured in the attack.
Dear teachers, and especially you,
my brave students,
Heritage High has been my home
for over two decades,
I've educated thousands of youngsters,
and, sadly, I've also eulogized a few.
I want to tell you
from the bottom of my heart
that there's nothing more painful
than eulogizing
a child who's achieved nothing yet,
who came into the world as a child
and left as a child.
I imagine our home
feels a bit strange to you right now.
The police here
are doing their job in good faith
and I believe that very soon
this place will be a home again.
-It's just--
-Excuse me, Hanoch.
Allow me. Excuse me.
Can I have another moment?
I haven't finished.
No.
Thank you, Hanoch.
You mentioned the police
and I think this is a good opportunity
to say a few words.
-Can this wait?
-No.
Good morning.
For those who don't know, I'm Rami Davidi
and I'm in charge of this investigation.
It's very nice of you to come
and show respect for the murder victims…
IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER - DOR ORON,
YARON LEVI, MEIRAV GOREN, TZAHI GILBOA
But I don't think you really
understand what's going on here,
and you deserve to know the truth.
The massacre at Heritage High
was carried out by students.
What?
What is this crap?
What the hell?
We're conducting an investigation. You're…
We're conducting an investigation
and we ask for your cooperation.
Our aim is to protect you
and find the murderers
as soon as possible.
And to the youngsters who perpetrated
the massacre I want to say,
I know you're here and I will find you.
What?
Please… We can't have this…
How dare you?
-Rami Davidi, this is an outrage.
-What is this?
-Why blame us?
-Please leave the room.
Now!
-Now!
-Why are you lying?
So long.
-Sit down.
-Can you believe that?
Sit down and be quiet.
It's okay, sweetie, Dr. Inbar is here.
Hi, Natalie, I heard what happened.
I hope they solve the mystery soon, it's…
like the stories you hear from America.
I'm here to talk to you
about your condition,
but if you feel a need to talk
about what happened at school,
we have a social worker you can speak to.
It's alright, go ahead.
The nurses told me
I'm starting rehabilitation soon.
Yes, but it's a little more
complicated than that.
I have to tell you, Natalie,
you're a very brave, strong young woman
and we'll need a lot of strength
to get through this process.
Mom, what's she talking about?
What are you talking about?
The damage to your spinal cord
was very serious.
You said it was only partial.
You said the cells would regenerate.
Yes, we still hope that will happen,
but your MRI doesn't look good.
The rupture is apparently very deep.
We'll start the rehabilitation process
and at the end we'll know.
How long have you known this, Mom?
When were you planning to tell me…
that my life is over?
Your life isn't over.
You're young and strong
and the rehabilitation ward here
is one of the best in the world.
With a lot of perseverance and faith…
Don't preach to me about
perseverance and faith, okay?
Will I ever dance again?
Answer me!
Will I dance again
or will I always be like this?
Leave me alone.
-Get out of here!
-Sweetie, you'll be alright.
Doctor…
You know I don't like to repeat myself.
I only saw you, Shir and him. That's all.
Besides that, I don't know anything
about anyone. What don't you get?
So that's it?
You'll burn everyone
but the three people you saw?
I'm not burning anyone,
what do you want me to do?
Yaron's murderers are here.
No point arguing,
they'll find the culprit.
How many nutcases can there be?
I can't take it anymore,
my mom keeps calling.
There's your ex and her project.
-Wackos.
-No, Libby's cool.
And him?
What?
Can we go to your place?
You heard what the cop said.
We have to decide who to stay with
and who to stay away from.
C'mon, don't be afraid. I'm with you.
What's up?
Why so quiet?
Just talking.
About what?
What do you think? About who did it.
-Itai, gimme a smoke.
-Shir has them.
So, Itamar,
what do you say?
I dunno.
Word is, it was your friend Guy.
-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah.
Actually, I don't remember seeing him
at the ceremony, did you?
Why would he shoot someone?
I dunno. He's from the projects.
They're all hoods there, no?
As if you never fired a gun.
Why are you defending him?
Why, are you guys…
That's right, every night at the pizzeria.
Come by some time, we'll have a threesome.
Whoa…
You're lucky we're mourning.
Otherwise I'd crush you, insect.
You make a sweet couple,
but I think we'll be going.
Thanks for the smoke.
Wait, Libby, if it isn't Guy, who is it?
I dunno.
The first name I came up with was Zohar,
that nutcase with all his prayers.
But it could be anyone, even you.
The question is,
who'd have the guts to do it?
C'mon, let's go.
Wait up.
I'm going home with them.
I'm not going home alone.
Bye, babe.
Bye, Ligal.
If we never see each other again,
I loved you.
More or less.
POLICE STATION - CENTRAL PRECINC
Brave. Nice going.
Thanks, Chino, I knew you'd appreciate it.
You know you're starring
on all the newscasts.
Great. Now pull up Facebook profiles,
Instagram, Twitter,
everything about those kids,
I want to see what they talk about.
Davidi, you're teaching me my job?
While you were playing Freddy Kruger,
I ran a check.
And?
What?
Since your speech,
they've vanished from social media.
What do you mean, vanished?
Vanished, almost zero activity,
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, everything.
That's impossible, they're kids,
they feed off the internet like vampires.
You're saying I'm mistaken?
You should check again,
I saw them playing with their phones.
But I did check again.
-Then check again.
-I'll check again.
That's the last time you screen my calls,
the last time you go behind my back
and the last time you piss on me,
you hear?
Breaking a gag order?
Working against the organization
you represent?
Who do you think you are?
-Noga.
-Clam it!
Now pack your things,
you're transferring to Auto Theft.
And while you're searching
for stolen cars,
you should think over your future
with the police force very seriously.
You know I had no choice.
You have no idea
what damage you did, do you?
You were at the reenactment,
you saw that that kid didn't have a clue,
it was all just pressure
from the media and Moshiko.
You can't accuse 400 kids of murder,
don't you get it?
But you can accuse one Palestinian kid
who didn't do it?
Even if you're right,
you can't do this to me,
we've been here before
and you promised me.
Now that they know that we know,
they'll start talking, you'll see.
I can't believe she didn't sack you.
Is it that pretty eye of yours?
Can it, Chino.
Baby, you sure you don't wanna come in?
-It's really nice in here.
-You wish.
As if I've never seen you naked.
That was two years ago.
But you were still flat then.
You're such a jerk.
I hear you have a list.
A list? Sort of.
Kids we actually saw.
And the kids you didn't see?
I prefer to keep my distance.
Did you see me?
Am I on the list? What's my status?
Suspect? Not a suspect?
Listen…
Since we broke up,
you turned your back on everyone,
Itai, Yahli, Shir,
now you want to come back?
I dunno, we'll have to discuss it.
Discuss it? Wow.
Okay.
Started drinking like my mom?
I'm here because I care about you.
I don't need your friendship
and I don't see
what that's got to do with it.
Chill.
I can put you on the list
whenever I want to.
But it won't be easy.
We said only whoever we actually saw, so…
I'm doing you a big favor.
A very big favor.
-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah.
And if it turns out it was me?
What do you mean, you?
Me.
What?
What's with you?
Tom, what's the matter?
-Are you okay?
-Yeah, I'm fine.
-Just give me a second.
-I was just kidding.
Did someone talk to you about me?
What? No…
Don't lie.
Did someone talk to you about me?
What's with you, Tom? No, nobody.
Gimme a sec.
Tom?
I'm okay.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm fine. It happens sometimes.
-It's all good, really.
-Are you sure?
-You looked--
-Yeah, I'm sure.
So where were we?
-Surprise!
-How'd you get in here?
I have my ways. How are you doing?
Shitty.
Why? Because of that shithead?
Because of everything.
What did they say?
There's a chance I'll walk again,
but the damage is really bad,
so as far as dancing…
the dance world
will have to manage without me.
Don't worry,
we'll get them to put together
a special dance for cripples.
Something artistic, with the wheelchair.
The rain came early again
Heavy traffic on the way to the beach
Stop it.
You always said it's a crazy world
You always said it's a crazy world
Who ever thought we'd end up this way?
Who ever thought we'd get together
And who imagined
That after all these years
Of trying to muddy my tracks
You'd find some fucking path?
You were the sun in an autumnal world
And I was just a guy from the 'hood
In love with you
-I guess I'll never forget--
-Stop it, you dork.
You sent a brand-new heart
To the cleaners
Maybe rightly so
I've changed since then
I'm less hairy
Less scared, less pathetic
And I wonder
If we ever stood a chance…
Okay, I got it.
And you thought of me
In a sudden rainstorm
The rain came early again
Heavy traffic on the way to the beach
Hello.
Hello.
-How's it going?
-Fine.
-Are you okay?
-I'm excellent.
Where were you? Been drinking?
Why, do I smell of alcohol?
You stink to high heaven.
Your parents are probably in Kenya
and don't have a clue.
Yeah, as if they care.
You know they haven't even called
to ask how I'm doing?
They sent a message on WhatsApp instead.
Where were you?
At Tom's house.
You don't say.
What's that supposed to mean?
Where are you going?
What did you want from him?
What did I want from him? I wanted…
to see how he's doing.
I'll bet he liked that.
He's dying to get back together, no?
No, I don't think so.
So?
So what?
So how's he doing?
He's… okay. I mean, he's uptight,
he's making lists, thinking thoughts.
"Thinking thoughts…"
What?
-Why did I go see him, Itamar?
-Why?
Because I'm an idiot
and I wanted to be on his list, okay?
That's why.
Let me take you home.
Really?
Yes, really.
What a gentleman.
But that's okay, I'm fine.
This is mine
and this is mine.
Thank you.
Good morning, it's eight o'clock
and here's the morning news.
A short while ago, the detainees
who were caught on the roof
of Heritage High were released
after insufficient evidence
tying them to the incident was found,
and after the Investigations Division
discovered new leads.
The Police Commissioner
praised the detectives
and called their work
"courageous and groundbreaking."
-They released the workers.
-I heard.
You were right.
But I still don't think you should be
running this investigation.
What?
Think about it, Davidi,
Miri, the pregnancy,
you'll probably
have to be home a lot, now.
Russo, I've got them,
it's just a matter of days.
I think you need to approach
this investigation with a clear mind.
I am.
Rami,
I know you.
For you to go back to Heritage High
after what happened to you there
is a big mistake and you know it.
It's all right, I'm in control.
We have a call from Heritage High.
I don't think it could be one of us.
It can't be.
I've seen lots of films
about school massacres,
things that happened in America, but…
I didn't think it could happen here.
If I had to bet on one name?
I'd say Reef.
Who did it? Fuck, man, I dunno…
Could've been anyone.
I'm not sure he was involved,
but he's the only one I saw.
Guy is pretty violent.
I get along with everyone, dude, but…
We have a few drama queens.
You hear people say "I could kill him."
People talk. Who'd do such a thing? Crazy.
I'm Morag, nice to meet you.
I'm a youth detective.
I don't want to file a complaint.
A complaint against who?
You said you don't know who did it.
You think he's one of the killers?
Listen, I'm not gonna explain
every little step, okay?
Your children are suspects.
Hasn't that gone through your minds?
"Maybe my child did it?"
I didn't do anything to him.
She's definitely protecting someone.
You're on your computer all day,
you have no friends.
Does that mean I killed someone?
Think of your father.
You send your kid to high school
and he can turn into anything.
Put the knife down.
Chino, what is this?
