Rough Diamonds (2023) s01e05 Episode Script

Episode 5

Ah, Mommy.
I'm sure you'll be okay today, dear.
I have donated to charity in your name.
God willing.
[man] On behalf of the board of directors
of the Antwerp Diamond Bourse,
I'd like to welcome you all here
to the tenth edition
of the Antwerp Rough Diamond Week.
There is no better place
to celebrate our industry
than in Antwerp,
the diamond capital of the world.
It is my great privilege to welcome
our esteemed mayor of the city of Antwerp,
a true friend and a committed partner
of the diamond community.
- [Rivki] Eli? Your coat.
- Hmm?
[Eli] Shkoyach.
As we begin this week together,
I wish all of our guests
inspiring days in our city
and at our bourse.
- Tommy, we're going to miss your bus.
- [Tommy] Coming.
Come on, shoes.
While our industry has made
some mistakes in the past,
today more than ever, we are committed
to an ethical and responsible future.
This is the only path
- for a sustainable
- Ready.
and prosperous industry.
It is an honor to see here today
so many prominent figures
of the diamond industry
who have come here
from the top diamond centers in the world.
Your presence demonstrates
what Antwerp is all about.
I'd like to note especially
the presence of the honorable
Brazilian Minister
of Mineral Resources and Energy,
Gerardo Franco,
and his entire Brazilian delegation.
And now it is my honor
to declare the Rough Diamond Week
officially opened.
Do good business.
[theme song playing]
[indistinct chatter]
- Good idea, yeah.
- Oh, sure.
- Please meet Noah, my brother.
- Oh, hi there.
He's been in London, has just returned
to be closely involved in the company.
- It's a pleasure to meet you.
- Likewise. We'll be in touch.
- All right, thank you, have a nice day.
- Yeah.
- A good lead?
- Yeah, maybe. Probably not.
- My name's not on the list.
- I'm sorry?
- We can't join the meeting.
- What list?
For the introduction meeting
with the Brazilian delegation.
Goldman says we don't meet the criteria.
We're small, he says.
That's just stupid.
He's keeping the juicy contract
for his friends.
We've gotta be in there.
This could be our only chance.
I've already tried.
You're welcome to take a shot.
He's over there drinking champagne.
I'll see you later.
Who's Goldman?
Arthur Goldman.
He's been organizing
these events the past few years.
Do you want to meet?
Yes, of course.
We have to, before it's too late.
The Brazilians discovered a mining area
and they're seeking a distributor.
If we could secure
a contract of that size,
we're back where we were years ago.
So let's go.
With all those men, it's closed to me.
You're gonna have to do this, Noah.
Mr. Goldman? Pardon me.
Noah Wolfson.
- Yeah, I know who you are.
- I was going over the list and I
The list is final, huh?
Your brother asked about it already.
But our firm's one of the top dealers
in rough diamonds in the whole bourse.
- Not anymore. Not in volumes this large.
- Our numbers are on the rise.
I'm happy to hear it.
The next time, then.
[men speaking French]
[man in French] I'm sorry.
Have you worked with them before?
[Goldman in French]
Yes, I have. I met his father
Mr. Goldman?
- My father, may his memory be a blessing
- The list is full, okay?
Nobody else will be in the meeting,
regardless of who you know
or who your father was.
Would a percentage change things?
Two percent on the revenue,
if it comes through.
Four.
I'll send the invitation over to you.
[Jo] Do you know their names, Mr. Wolfson?
[Eli] No. I never met the Albanians.
Noah handles everything.
We don't discuss details.
Then it's time you began to.
And make notes.
How often do you need to see me?
I've told you all I know.
There's one thing that you've actually
always avoided carefully.
What?
When your dealings
with the Albanians are done,
where do you put the cash?
How is that relevant to the Albanians?
We've got to know
each and every link in the chain
if we're gonna prosecute, so
you pay your supplier with that money?
No, we Wait, you said
this was about the mafia.
It sure is.
And if you cooperate, we can protect you,
but if you don't,
we have a pretty solid case against you.
So, Mr. Wolfson?
We deposit it all.
Where?
There is a an office, and they
they offer their services
to people in need.
An office? Here in the diamond district?
Yes. The banks
have turned their backs on us.
Diamond dealers can't even get a mortgage
for a flat for their kids nowadays.
So, some people have set up a service
to help a bit with that kind of thing.
You mean a bank?
Yeah, you could say that's what it is.
And you deposit the dirty cash
from the Albanians in that bank?
Mm, yeah. Well, no. They don't keep it.
They send it to another bank in Tel Aviv.
- Minus the commission.
- How do they launder it?
How do they do it, Mr. Wolfson?
They, uh
They connect us
with another diamond company.
You know, another dealer
who's maybe looking to avoid some tax.
Then we deliver an invoice
to the company for a fake invoice.
This bank, is it used by all the dealers
in the diamond business?
No, no. Most people
don't know the bank exists.
But when they end up needing it,
they manage to find it.
Where is the office, exactly?
[indistinct chatter]
Gila?
Yehuda. What a surprise seeing you here.
- Are you back in Antwerp?
- Uh, no, um
I'm still in Brooklyn.
I, uh I'm here on business, and, uh
and there's an event in the bourse.
And it's a chance
for Mama to see her son.
Of course, yeah.
Yeah, she's already put me to work,
as you can see.
She told me about what happened.
Yanki, I couldn't believe it.
How are you managing?
Baruch Hashem.
He wouldn't saddle us with
a burden that we can't handle, I suppose.
- I hope your suffering comes to an end.
- Omein.
I've been through it myself, you know.
- Yes.
- My dear wife passed away.
I know how hard it is.
But it's been now almost two years.
And I gotta tell you, it
it does get better.
Time can heal all wounds, I think.
The pain gets easier.
Yeah. Thank you.
I hope you're right about that.
I am right. You'll figure that out.
Well, it was nice seeing you.
Yeah, you too.
Send my regards to your mom.
Yeah.
[ringtone chiming]
- Matthias?
- We need to talk.
What's it about? I'm busy.
This can't wait. I'm expecting you.
[line ringing]
- Hey.
- [Noah] Hey.
So, what did the man say?
- What?
- Yeah, the landlord about the faucet.
Oh, no, no, we haven't spoken yet.
Oh. I thought you were calling me
to complain again.
No, no, um
I, uh Can you do me a favor?
You're almost done at the office, right?
- Uh, yeah.
- Yeah, um,
I'm on my way to a last-minute meeting
and I won't be able to pick up Tommy.
It's only five minutes from the apartment
so I thought you
- Okay.
- Really?
Yeah.
- Thanks so much.
- Don't get used to it, okay?
To what?
Yeah, I like you a lot and I'm glad
that you moved into the building,
but I can't be your new babysitter,
you got that?
- Of course not.
- Great. Send me the address then?
Yeah, I will. Thanks, Marie.
Bye.
What's the issue?
I'm sorry about not saying
anything earlier,
but Mr. Tahiri wants
a little chat with you.
So, you're the famous Noah Wolfson.
Nice to meet you.
I hear you've been doing good work for us.
I do what I can.
I hope there's no problem with it.
I just have something to ask you
and I prefer face-to-face.
At the bourse, at the moment,
is a minister
in the Brazilian government, right?
We would like to meet him and his team,
but it's a bit difficult, it turns out.
I want you to arrange
a meeting for Matthias.
This is very important to me,
and I'd consider it a personal favor,
you understand.
Uh-huh.
I apologize, Mr. Tahiri, but
I don't think I'm your man.
Of course you are.
Your name's on the list.
We were heartened to see a name
we knew there among all the others.
- What do you want the meeting for?
- Our business is our own.
If you want this kind of favor,
it'll have to be mine too.
It's a financial matter.
We have a ton of money in Brazil,
and we want to get it back here.
Matthias will explain it all to them.
You don't have anything
to worry about, really.
And what should I tell
the delegation, exactly?
That our bank has new opportunities
that the minister might want to be in on.
Doesn't really matter,
just get us in the same room.
I'm sorry,
but I can't have my family involved.
We're talking too much,
it's a simple request.
I do this
if I get a meeting with him
for you, which isn't certain
I want one thing.
Okay.
Cooperation with my family stops.
No more diamonds, no calls, no contact.
I do this for you and we're done.
Okay?
Okay. But it's a must.
The meeting with Matthias goes through.
And I don't want this to influence
your business with Mrs. McCabe, either.
That keeps rolling on.
[Marie] Tommy, come on.
Tommy?
- How far is it?
- It's this one.
- There's someone here?
- [doorbell rings]
There's always someone here.
- Tommy?
- [Tommy] Hi.
- [Marie] Hello.
- Hello?
Here's his bag.
Are you Adina?
No, I'm, uh
Yeah, sorry to show up unannounced.
Uh, Noah asked me
if I could go and pick up Tommy,
and he insisted on coming here, so
No problem. But thanks for the help.
Okay. Bye.
Bye.
[kids imitating car engine]
[kids chatting, toys rattling]
[boy] Wheeee!
No, no, no, no!
- Tommy?
- Zhhhh!
Tommy?
Who was that, that woman?
Daddy's friend.
Oh, look at this, look at this.
Does she sleep at your place?
Sometimes.
- Do you have a minute?
- Yeah.
We've just uncovered something
pretty major in the diamond district.
Finally.
Are you still working on that, Smets?
It's way larger than any of us
thought it would be, sir.
I told you clearly to keep
out of that stuff. You disobey that
There's an underground bank active there.
Over in the district,
there's a secret operation
that people use to hide their cash
through laundering services.
Large scale.
And it's gone on for years.
And how do you know?
I have a mole.
This is gonna piss off some folks.
We'll all be dead
if we can't provide any evidence.
I'll take care of that.
[Adina] Are you going to set up
this meeting between Matthias
and the Brazilian minister?
I just don't want any problems there.
- This is a unique chance for us.
- It's all right.
It's the only way to be
rid of them in the end.
We do this, then we're free.
I've heard that before.
Okay. Be careful, though, Noah.
- The wrap of the chocolate.
- Okay.
- Hey.
- [Tommy] Hi, Dad. Hi, Mommy.
- Hi, Toms, time to go.
- [Tommy] After the game.
- Finish up, it's getting late.
- Okay.
Shkoyach.
And how were the boys?
- It was a pleasure.
- Have they eaten?
- Yes, Veronika took care of it.
- Great.
[Tommy] So something that you could
drink.
- Something that you can drink.
- [boy] Vodka.
Were you here
when my neighbor brought Tom?
I hope you don't think
she means more than that.
- It's fine, you don't have to lie, Noah.
- Gila, it's not a lie.
Okay, we had a thing,
but it's in the past.
It's none of my business.
We shouldn't have
You're free to do whatever you want.
I want you.
Gila, Rivki told me that
you're going to be at Miri's wedding.
- Yes, the Rebbe's allowing it.
- Oh, that's great!
Mourning is is important.
All of us here are doing it.
But Miri is going to need
all of us there to make her happy.
That mitzvah is no less crucial.
[boy] Yes!
- Okay, Tom, that's it, let's go.
- Another round? Please?
- You'll continue another day.
- Hilleli, it's a bit late.
[whispering]
Can they please spend
the night with us, Mommy?
- Can we please, Mommy?
- [boy] Oh, please, Mommy?
A sleepover, Dad.
You promised we'd do it.
I said I'd find the right time.
Please, Mommy?
We have the space.
Okay, seems fine.
Yay!
Those kids got us
wrapped around their fingers.
They're such a cute little group, huh?
Beware, though. We've got
three more years before they're teens.
Have a good night.
I can walk you home.
- It's okay.
- Well, it's on my way. More or less.
It wasn't my fault.
Your father kept pouring drinks.
"It's a mitzvah on Purim
to get drunk," he said.
If he only knew it would be
at the expense of his rug.
I panicked. What would you have done?
So you thought,
"I'll roll up this puke rug as it is
[laughs] and throw it off the balcony"?
I couldn't just let it sit there.
Remember where we used to go
after getting wine from here on Shabbat?
- I can't believe I had the nerve.
- Oh, come on.
You were crazier than I was.
So, how many girls
have you brought here, actually?
What?
None.
Not one.
'Cause nobody would come up here.
I feel a little bit lucky
that nobody ever caught us.
Yeah.
If they'd found us,
we'd have been forced out.
Together.
Sorry, I shouldn't bring up those things.
I am gonna need more wine.
[glass shatters]
- [gasps]
- [men shouting]
[man] Hey, are you crazy?!
Hey! You're nuts!
[Gila laughing]
[ringtone chimes]
- [Noah] Kerra?
- I just got a call from Matthias.
Fuck this, Noah! I thought you knew better
than making these moves behind my back.
- I didn't make any moves.
- You asked him to stop.
- Yeah, but it won't affect you.
- Like hell it won't.
It won't. I'll make sure of that.
You're being naive again, Noah.
We agreed that it won't change anything
about your business with them.
It's a three-way deal,
you can't just take out one part.
You're my insurance.
Once they're not dependent on you,
they can just up my prices
or cut me off whenever they feel like it.
We'll have to make sure
that doesn't happen.
My family can't go on
doing business with these people.
- That's not your decision to make.
- Yes, it is.
- Do not proceed with this deal, Noah.
- I have to go, I'll talk to you later.
Fuck!
I've heard that Gerardo Franco's
a real patriot, a real nationalist.
We gotta emphasize
what this will do for Brazil above all.
Minister, allow me to introduce
Mrs. Adina Glazer
and Mr. Noah Wolfson of Wolfson Diamonds,
one of the finest and oldest
rough diamond companies in Antwerp.
- Pleasure to meet you.
- It's a pleasure.
- My advisor Diego.
- [Adina] Nice to meet you.
- Thank you for coming.
- Thank you.
I'll leave you to it then, all right?
See you.
Well, can I first ask
about the stage of development?
Have you started mining?
No. Not yet.
We're looking for a distribution company
to start working immediately.
The residents of the area have begun
to independently collect diamonds.
- And it's creating a bit of a chaos.
- I can imagine.
We're looking for a company
that will open an office on the land
and buy the stones from the residents
at a regulated price.
It's a very smart thing to do.
Well, as you'll be able to see here,
we have over a hundred years
of experience in global diamond trading.
I think what you need
in the first place is a reliable partner
that can deliver on their promises,
and that is exactly who we are.
With the right approach,
this could be more than another mine.
We can rebuild the Brazilian brand
in the diamond industry.
Do you have offices
anywhere outside Antwerp?
No, not at the moment, but if that is
Any direct cooperation
with mining companies?
Well, throughout the years,
we've worked with all the big ones.
So, I can assure you
But for now,
you're just secondary buyers.
Yeah, but contracts come and go,
as you know.
But us not being obligated to other
mining companies is an advantage for you.
We'd be entirely focused on your business.
Well, it was a pleasure meeting you.
I believe your bourse president
is waiting for me.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Perhaps if you and the minister
have some more time later,
I'd love to go into detail
about our offer.
Yeah, for sure.
And I'm sorry,
he doesn't like taking risks.
But I promise I'll look at it.
And I'll set up another meeting.
Thank you.
There's a restaurant here, right?
I'm starving.
Yes, but you don't want to eat that.
- I don't?
- No.
But there is this great place
just around the corner.
- I can show you if you want.
- Sure, but we can't talk business.
- Of course not.
- Okay.
[ringtone chiming]
Hi, Tova.
Gila, dear. I hope you're sitting down.
You're not gonna believe
who wants to meet you.
Shkoyach, Tova, but you were right.
Best to wait a couple of months before
meeting with the potential matches.
That is usually true,
but this is quite a rare opportunity.
Shkoyach, but it's way too early for me.
It's Yehuda Ziskind.
Yeah! He told me he ran into you
yesterday at the supermarket.
Yes, we spoke a bit, yeah.
Well, he's interested.
Yeah, yeah, it's unbelievable, I know.
He's a widower, young, wealthy,
handsome, from an excellent family.
And what's most important is
that your situation doesn't bother him.
I'm not sure.
The time's not right, I think.
He'll be leaving in a few days.
You won't have
another opportunity like this.
Dear, if this works out for you,
you'll be able to go to New York,
leave all of your troubles here
behind you.
You'll get a fresh start!
[Diego] This is good.
Told you, best in town.
You're from here?
I couldn't figure out the accent.
Yes, born and raised,
but I lived in London for a while.
[phone chimes]
Whoa.
What?
Nothing, it's my ex-wife.
Soon to be ex-wife.
- Oh, shit.
- Yeah.
It's been over a year
and we cannot reach a settlement.
Now she has a new lawyer, a real asshole.
Yeah, I've been there.
Really? You're divorced?
My friend,
she took me to court and everything.
I just gave her what she wanted
so we could end it.
I might have to do the same.
It's been killing me,
I'm constantly dealing with it.
I am not sleeping well.
This is the closest to a vacation
I had in one year.
So you should have some fun. Hmm?
Not sit around
in these boring meetings all day.
I guess.
I'm going out with
some friends tonight, join us.
I don't know.
Trust me, you need it.
Clear your head a little bit.
Okay.
The little things are hardest for me,
to be honest.
I mean, like, all of his clothes
have been given away,
but personal things show up everywhere.
A small note, his key ring,
and an old pair of shoes under the bed.
- There's something everywhere.
- Yeah.
You make 50 small judgments every day.
"Do I keep this, throw it away?"
Yeah.
For me the most difficult
was the company closing it down
and selling everything off.
She had her own business?
Yes, she used to design women's clothing.
She was really good at it.
And that was fine with you?
Yeah. I mean, why not?
We had help with the kids.
- That was her dream.
- That's incredible.
I think we all deserve a dream, right?
- Yeah.
- What's your dream?
Uh
I'm not sure.
I don't think I've
even given it much thought.
You've been to New York ever?
No, I've always wanted to, but
the wedding, the children
I'm sure you know.
We postponed it.
I think you'll love it.
Borough Park isn't
that different from here.
Come on.
It's true.
I think you'd feel right at home.
I can't keep coming here every day.
I'm busy, my daughter is getting married.
I don't have any time.
I value your cooperation,
Mr. Wolfson, really,
but talking to me isn't enough anymore.
I'm gonna need proof
of everything you've told me.
What kind of proof?
Listen, I want you to go deposit cash,
put it in the bank, I mean,
and do it while you've got
a camera hidden on you.
We'll be very careful.
Nobody will be aware.
- Is this still about the Albanians?
- Of course.
- Because if you're going after the bank
- No, no, it's fine, don't worry.
- I won't ask you to lie to your friends.
- They're not my friends.
Mr. Wolfson, my bosses want proof of this.
They want to know you're being honest
so they can justify looking out for you
and protecting you, get it?
I have to prove
that you're a valuable asset.
- Gotta think about it.
- Sure.
Moishe will sleep with Gila
and you'll be here with Aharon.
But no talking or playing
after she turns off the light.
When Gila says good night,
you go to sleep, okay?
Okay. When will you be back?
I'll be here in the morning
to take you to the bus.
Okay, don't be late.
[Gila] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Do you like your room, Tommy?
- Yeah.
The boys are waiting.
- Bye, buddy.
- Bye, Dad.
[Noah] Thank you.
Well, he's showered.
Here are his pajamas.
His toothbrush is right there.
And, uh yeah. That's it, I think.
Sorry again, but there's no way
to get out of this dinner,
and I'm not sure how long they'll be.
No, it's always wonderful with Tommy.
Are we okay?
Yeah, of course.
Okay.
Um Yeah then,
then I'll see you in the morning, huh?
[Gila clears throat]
[electronic dance music pounding]
[dancer] Whoo!
- There they are.
- Okay.
[woman] Hey!
- Uh, Marie, Diego. Diego, Marie.
- This is Brigitte.
[Noah] Hi.
Whoo!
- Another round?
- Yeah, sure.
[Diego] You know what?
Working for the government can be
much more interesting than people think.
Except the part
where you're working with politicians.
That's mostly true, yeah,
but not all politicians are the same.
So you're telling me
the minister is a good guy?
Franco is actually
one of the better ones, yeah.
Really?
Yeah, with this diamond thing,
for example,
he's not only thinking about money.
Then what else?
The people.
He grew up in that area.
You know, half the guys we meet
offer him bribes.
They're treating us like beggars.
Fuck.
Franco doesn't want to find himself
in jail, like those corrupt politicians.
He wants to do good, to develop the area.
Not take advantage of it.
Build schools, workshops, you know?
- So, he is one of the good guys.
- Yeah.
He just doesn't come out saying that
because then everyone will just
tell him what he wants to hear.
Right.
You know who you should talk to
if you want to do business in Antwerp?
Matthias Dumont.
Who's that?
He's a financier, has a private bank.
He knows everyone.
He can tell you who to watch out for.
Okay, thanks. Uh
Send me his contacts
and I'll throw him in the agenda.
Sure.
Oh, no. I I think I need some water.
Water? Okay. [laughs]
[bell jingles]
[line rings]
- [Adina] Noah?
- Hey.
How did it go?
- I have information we need.
- Great. I'm leaving for the meeting now.
- What did he tell you?
- Exactly what they want to hear.
Oh, nice. And that is?
- Good morning.
- What's all this?
Just a morning treat.
- Breakfast, guys.
- Hey, Dad!
What did you get?
- Everything. You guys hungry?
- Yes!
Well
Well, then I have got a surprise
for you guys.
- Look at this!
- That's my favorite pastry!
- [boy 2] What does it taste like?
- [boy 3] Apple and
- [boy 3] And sweet.
- [boy 2] Very sweet.
And can I get you some orange juice, sir?
Hmm?
[boy] Mm
You too, buddy?
[tone sounding]
- Good morning.
- Wonderful news I've brought you.
About what?
How about we sit down, dear?
Yehuda Ziskind wants
the two of you to wed.
Well? You're allowed to smile, sweetheart.
- You've won him over.
- I've gotta think about it.
About what? What's to think?
You have been given a gift for sure.
I know that it feels sudden,
but you'll never have an opportunity
like this once again, Gila.
Just think about the kids.
If you don't say yes to this,
you're gonna regret it forever.
- So?
- I think that they're convinced.
- Okay. Okay.
- Yeah, that was very useful information.
So? Have you got that meeting
arranged for Matthias?
Yeah, it's scheduled tomorrow,
I just talked to him.
He wants me there with him, though.
[sighs]
Treif business
needs a kosher certification.
He needs you to ritually purify
his dirty deal.
- Well, we'll be free soon enough.
- Yeah.
It's really nice having you here.
Noynoy.
- Is the office where you're headed?
- Yeah, later.
[line rings]
[Kerra] I hope this is good news.
It is in a way.
What does that mean?
- I got them what they asked for.
- And?
We won't be doing
any more business with them.
You went ahead and fucked me?
They promise to continue
working with you.
Was I unclear in our previous call?
Dealing with them would have
ended up killing the company.
I had to save my family, Kerra.
And who am I to you?
You're very important to me.
Am I not family?
- Of course you are.
- But you chose them over me.
No, I did not.
Well, fuck it.
- I'm done with you.
- Kerra, wait.
Let's see how long it takes
your lovely family to drive you off again.
- Kerra
- And Tommy is coming back to London.
- There's no reason
- [phone beeps]
[phone clatters]
You okay?
What is this?
It's my reserve phone.
It's for if my phone breaks.
- Why don't you stop telling lies, Eliyahu?
- Who's lying to you?
A few days ago, you told me
you were gonna be in the office.
But
I suspected you were
making things up, so I
so I called up the office
and they told me that you weren't there.
- Are you seeing someone else?
- Of course not. What's with you?
What's with me is
you got a second telephone.
A prosecutor for Financial Division
called me and asked me to meet.
He gave me that cell phone.
Financial Division?
Something to do with the mess
Yanki was doing, gambling and so forth.
They have plenty already.
I was forced to meet
with them and cooperate.
Otherwise, I'd have gone to jail
and they'd destroy the business.
Eli, if anyone manages
to find out about this
No one's gonna find out about it.
What do you do for him?
Until now, we spoke a little
in a private place.
But yesterday he told me
I'd have to wear a hidden camera.
Oh, my God.
Someone has been laundering money.
He wants me to check it out.
But I have to tell him I can't do that.
What do you mean?
It's dishonest.
So
you're going to let him
completely destroy our lives?
- Rivki.
- You've got to do it.
Do everything you can
so he'll leave us alone.
Please, Eli. You want to go to prison
a week before the wedding?
They'll put the kibosh
on the entire thing.
You got us into this mess,
your brother and you.
Now you have to get us out of it.
[dog barking]
Hello.
[alert chimes]
[buzzer sounds]
[buzzer sounds]
Hey, Eli. Come in.
- [Eli] Zvulun, how are you?
- [Zvulun] Baruch Hashem.
That's great. Wonderful.
Stay calm and let him do the talking.
And remember,
you can't ask him to do anything.
Look there, that's where he keeps
all the transactions, that book.
What have we got here?
Uh 50,000. Not much.
- Euros?
- Mm.
That's fine, and what can I do for you?
[Nicole] Tell him you're not sure,
let him make suggestions.
Uh, not sure. Uh
what do you recommend for it?
It's a small amount.
No problem.
Okay, um Good. I
Ask him what options there are.
I
I don't want to keep it in the office.
So
what are my options with this amount?
Uh, whatever you want.
It's more than enough.
Okay, um
Well, um
Are you okay?
Do you feel all right?
Yeah, all good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I didn't manage to sleep a lot with the
uh, with everything I was doing
for the wedding and guest list.
Good work, good work.
That can be complicated.
Yeah, you know,
you always forget someone and
- The guy's not offering anything.
- Give it a minute, Jo.
We'll miss our chance like this.
The book's right in front of us.
- He just has to ask for the transfer.
- No, that's criminal.
Jo, it's entrapment
if he asks for it, it's illegal.
Well, I'm not gonna use it in court, man.
But at least we'll know who to go after.
Better than nothing, right?
- Absolutely not.
- [man] Staff?
[Zvulun] So
how can I help you out?
I, uh I mean, I guess I'm not sure.
Uh, maybe
Forget it, he'll blow his cover.
Let him say it plain.
- We'll discuss this later.
- Sorry, no!
- Jo!
- Ask him to launder the money for you.
It's okay, do it.
Eli, is there a problem?
No, no. Um
I'd like the money transferred
to our account in Tel Aviv.
Perfect.
[Zvulun] You'll make out the invoice
to Orenstein, okay?
[Eli] Perfect, thank you.
Let me put this money in the safe
and get you your receipt.
Thank you.
Take a picture!
Now!
Now, now!
Here you go. It will post
to your account in two days or so.
Perfect, thank you.
[recording] You have one new message.
[Diego] Noah, it's Diego.
I understand you're joining our meeting.
That's great.
So, let's go out tonight.
Drinks on me. We need to celebrate.
Thank you for everything, man.
Noah. Right on time.
And? Ready?
- Yes.
- Come.
The Brazilian told me on the phone
that Wolfson's got the exclusive contract.
We still have quite a few details
to work out, but it's pretty good news.
Hope you don't get too attached
to that man.
Why is that?
I've seen men like that.
When that guy realizes
what he's gotten into, it's too late.
He'll either be murdered,
or if he's lucky, put in prison.
He'll be okay, though.
I'll do the talking.
You smile and nod.
- [Matthias] Minister.
- [Franco] Nice to meet you.
[indistinct conversation]
[Matthias] Shall we go in?
I can't do this.
Don't accept this deal. I'm sorry.
