Yosi, the Regretful Spy (2022) s02e08 Episode Script

Although this story is inspired
by real events,
the characters and events are fictional.
Any similarities are unintentional.
1 YEAR AFTER
THE ATTACK ON AMIA
You're wasting your time
You can speak when you're told to speak.
You and Fontana have
something of ours.
Where is it?
I don't know what the fuck you mean.
The Condor missile. Where is it?
There is no Condor missile.
The only thing Fontana showed me
was a useless pile of scrap.
But it is somewhere.
When the project was dismantled,
there was a whole one left.
And your president promised it to my boss.
You understand what I'm saying, right?
Promises have to be kept.
Here, and in the Middle East.
I'm just doing business.
Just doing "business," asshole?
Now you're going to tell me
What was that?
Eva, what's up?
Move.
Clear.
Uri, search the place,
see if you can find anything.
Noam, take their fingerprints.
We heard your conversation
with Claudia in the temple.
Yosi, you're still active.
YOSI
THE REGRETFUL SPY
Horacio Cagliari, alias Major Estebas,
52 years old, former member
of the Argentine Anticommunist Alliance,
and under democracy, head of a gang
dedicated to kidnapping and extortion.
He was trained in Libya under Qaddafi.
Qaddafi has lots of ties to your country.
He supplied arms to Galtieri
during the Falklands War.
These are enemies of Israel.
The missile must not fall
into their hands.
And if they're certain
that what Fontana told you is true,
this new information changes things.
There's still a Condor in Argentina,
and we're going to find it.
I don't care who you are.
But you're going to tell me
everything about Pérez.
Why were you following him?
We have a buyer for the Condor,
and Pérez knows where it is.
If there's business for you,
there must be for us too.
If you play nice with me,
I'll play nice with you.
Take it.
Clean yourself up.
PENITENTIARY UNIT 86
BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA
If there's one thing I don't need,
it's a visit from a traitor.
This isn't visiting day.
How did you get in here?
You taught me, with cash,
every day is visiting day.
You could've brought
a nice bottle of whisky.
The kind I taught you to drink.
Did you come to ask for forgiveness?
If I hadn't acted fast,
it would have been much worse.
You know all the tricks, don't you?
It's always a mistake
to underestimate you.
And extradition to the United States?
That was too much.
This isn't personal, Yosi.
It's just politics and survival.
Someday you'll understand.
Saúl Menajem, always giving lessons.
I don't know why, since you never listen.
No one told you to sit.
If you're here,
it's because you need something.
Why are you still protecting him?
I thought if you went down,
you'd drag them with you.
Is that politics and survival too?
You're not my target, Saúl.
My target is the mafia
inside the government.
You think you can prove anything?
They'll cover up everything they did
with AMIA and the embassy.
Even the president's son's accident.
I know when to stop. You don't.
If you knew when to stop,
Dafne would be alive.
I understand you don't care about justice.
But I don't understand
why you don't want revenge.
You've forgotten Dafne.
You have no idea.
I think about her all the time.
Then help me bring them down.
It's too late, Yosi.
They've covered it all up
with loads of shit.
No one will ever know.
Yes.
If we expose them, they will.
For years,
weapons would leave the military units,
supposedly for repairs.
We tricked the regiment commanders
and sent them to our clients.
Now that the Judiciary
is looking for them,
what do you think happens
when they ask for the weapons
that were sent away for repairs
to be returned to Río Tercero?
That stock no longer exists. We sold it.
And the Condor missile?
What is it with you
and the Condor missile?
Why are you looking for it?
Some kind of business?
No.
I'm not the piece of shit you think I am.
The only people interested
in buying this shit
are those who want to fuck Israel.
Spying wasn't enough,
you want to destroy us too?
I don't want that.
If I find it, it's in order to avoid this.
It's always the same modus operandi.
Don't be surprised
to find the missile listed as dismantled
and being offered for sale.
What matters is the warhead.
In the hands of Libya or Syria,
it'd be a disaster.
That's why I need to find it.
Do you think it'll be packaged
with a label that says "Condor"?
If you want to stop the sale,
you must ruin their arms business.
The key is in the inventories.
Nothing can bring Dafne back.
But yes, I want to see them destroyed.
Send me a bottle of that whisky I like.
You son of a bitch.
50KM FROM RÍO TERCERO MILITARY FACTORY
CÓRDOBA, ARGENTINA
The inventory data was vital
for them to approve our raid.
Almost there, Yosi.
You'll be able to have a normal life
and not expose yourself further.
-What was that?
-I don't know.
Stop right here. What's going on?
Give me the phone.
Rina, something exploded
in Río Tercero. Can you confirm?
It's the armament factory.
It exploded.
Sons of bitches.
They're destroying
the evidence of contraband arms.
Someone tipped them off.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Garrido left by truck
from Río Tercero,
headed towards the Fontana mine.
The police are trying to figure it out,
but it looks like the Río Tercero
military factory was blown up.
That's not possible.
Let's keep going.
The sooner we get there, the better.
This is as far as I go.
If they can blow up the factory,
they can kill me too.
-You're staying here?
-Yes.
-In the middle of nowhere?
-Yes.
We have police protection, Yosi.
Then use it.
Explosions can still be seen.
This is dramatic.
White explosions can still be seen.
We're entering the city of Río Tercero.
You can see in the background
how the column of smoke rises somberly
from the explosion
at the Río Tercero military factory.
The chaos has not been limited
just to the military unit,
but is seen across this whole city.
It looks like a bombing.
It's a terrible, upsetting sight.
They blew up the military factory.
So? Now you're a patriot, asshole?
You're a piece of shit.
Without that gun, you're shit. Pure shit.
Tell me where the Condor's warhead is.
Right here. Grab it. Go on, grab it.
Tell me where the Condor's warhead is
so you can leave here alive.
Tell me.
You blew up a city to destroy evidence,
but you're going to let me live?
Tell me where the Condor's warhead is.
Go see what's going on.
I'm okay, go. It's Pérez. Go!
Tell me how you get out of here.
Go ahead. Tell me.
Pérez! Open the door!
Let's go, Fontana.
-I can't like this. You have to go alone.
-Go quietly.
Get out of here so my people
can make the hero talk. Go on.
You've earned the last bullet, Garrido.
No!
I'm the only one
who can reach the missile.
Tell my son I died like a hero.
What are you doing?
No, no, no, wait, wait, wait!
Son of a bitch, motherfucker!
Son of a bitch, what did you do?
It was never-ending.
The amount of explosives per meter
is insane.
These are the traces
of the tremendous explosions,
the shockwave destroying
the windows of houses
close to the military factory.
The governor and the president
are giving the report.
They're saying it's an accident,
not an attack.
You have the obligation
to broadcast these words.
Hear, O Israel
The Lord is our God
The Lord is One
Can you explain your last message?
Don't worry anymore about the Condor.
-It's no longer a threat to Israel.
-Speak clearly. Did you find it?
No.
Nor do I know where it is.
But I made sure no one else knows either.
And Fontana?
I had to kill him.
Sooner or later someone
would have made him talk, Rina.
So we're not 100% sure.
No.
The goal was to find the missile
and take that technology
off the market so it didn't
fall into our enemies' hands.
No one will ever find it.
You didn't wait for us.
You acted on your own.
There wasn't time.
I did what I had to do,
the only possible move.
That wasn't enough?
There's nothing more to discuss.
May the Lord protect you
and all the Jewish people.
Who do you pray for?
Argentina or Israel?
If I may ask,
now that we don't work together.
I pray for a son who lost his father.
One prays for a father who loses his son.
The reverse is normal.
You don't pray for the son you lost?
No.
I speak with his father
who assures me that he's okay
and doesn't need anything.
It's more practical.
You know,
it's better to ask God
for things that can actually change.
I'm not going to miss this country.
Why not?
You can't deny the steak is good.
Sure, and to eat a good piece of meat
you have to eat a lot of shit first.
-It's not a good business.
-True.
A lot of "shit" came to a stop here.
What a shame that Yosi
didn't live up to my expectations.
Yosi isn't lying.
Perhaps. But maybe he just
analyzed the situation wrong
and the missile could still
turn up in other hands.
As for Yosi, it's up to you.
We don't gain anything by killing him.
What's that?
Wow, it's strange
to hear that from your mouth.
Don't tell me you've gone soft.
People like Yosi
are an endangered species.
They don't reproduce.
True, and if they do, God makes sure
they don't contaminate their offspring.
Thank God.
15 YEARS AFTER
THE ATTACK ON AMIA
In whose name?
Thank you.
YOSI
THE STORY OF A DOUBLE AGEN
-To whom?
-Luis Garrido.
What are you doing here?
It wasn't enough
to pressure the publisher?
You had to come buy a book?
You know I support journalistic work.
Am I not one of your main contributors?
How are the sales?
Do you need me to buy all the books?
It'd be easier.
-What do you want?
-For you to sign my book. Give me that.
Just a reminder that I exist, for you
and the one who dictated this book.
You thought you'd come and find Yosi here.
You are so vain.
I haven't seen him in a year.
What a shame. Would've been
a nice photo of the three of us.
Read it. Look.
You're all over it, especially the end.
And read the dedication. It's personal.
2 YEARS AFTER
THE ATTACK ON AMIA
Hi.
Where's your mom?
She went shopping.
Didn't you come before?
Yes.
I'm a friend of your dad's.
My dad is dead.
Tell your mom I left this for her.
Tell her it's from your old man.
Okay.
Is this a good game?
Wanna play?
Here. Plug it in.
I'll play against you.
DO NOT DESTROY -
MINISTRY OF DEFENSE
Ready?
CONDOR II
29 YEARS AFTER THE ATTACK ON AMIA
31 YEARS AFTER THE ATTACK
ON THE ISRAELI EMBASSY
GALEANO, JUDGE IN AMIA CASE,
REMOVED FROM OFFICE
PROSECUTOR LINKS RÍO TERCERO
TO WEAPONS TRAFFICKING
AMIA TRIAL
COMES TO NOTHING
The bullet I give you
traveled through Garrido's head.
He was the man who kidnapped me
on the day of my bar mitzvah.
I suppose you remember.
So this matter is now closed.
With you, I had several options.
All horrible.
And I was prepared for any of them.
I realized that it would be deadlier
than a bullet to enter your home,
write this note, and disappear.
You once told me
you were no longer my father.
Now I give you my response.
I am no longer your son.
Jonás Kesselman.
ON MARCH 17, 1992, A TERRORIST ATTACK
DESTROYED THE ISRAELI EMBASSY
IN BUENOS AIRES
KILLING 22 PEOPLE AND WOUNDING OVER 200.
THE SUPREME COURT OF ARGENTINA
WAS LEFT IN CHARGE OF THE INVESTIGATION.
31 YEARS LATER, THE CASE REMAINS OPEN,
ALBEIT AT A STANDSTILL,
ACCUMULATING MORE THAN 6,000 PAGES
OF PROCEEDINGS.
NO SUSPECTS ARE IN CUSTODY.
THE STATE OF ISRAEL DID NOT APPEAR
AS AN INTERESTED PARTY
DURING THE ENTIRE JUDICIAL PROCESS.
ON JULY 18, 1994,
2 YEARS, 4 MONTHS AND 1 DAY
AFTER THE EMBASSY ATTACK,
A SECOND ATTACK,
THIS TIME ON THE AMIA BUILDING,
KILLED 85 PEOPLE
AND LEFT MORE THAN 300 WOUNDED.
AFTER A 10-YEAR TRIAL, FEDERAL COURT NO. 3
NULLIFIED THE ENTIRE INVESTIGATION
UNDERTAKEN BY JUDGE JUAN JOSÉ GALEANO
AND ABSOLVED ALL THOSE ACCUSED.
THE TRIAL WAS BASED ON A STATEMEN
OBTAINED BY GOVERNMENT BRIBERY.
IN 2004, ALBERTO NISMAN
WAS APPOINTED TO LEAD THE AMIA CASE.
ON JULY 4 OF THAT YEAR,
JOURNALIST MIRIAM LEWIN AND HORACIO LUTZKY
BROUGHT YOSI PERES TO TESTIFY.
NISMAN WAS NOT PRESENT THAT DAY
TO TAKE A STATEMENT.
EMPLOYEES OF THE PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE
DID IT INSTEAD.
YOSI WAS NEVER CALLED AGAIN
TO EXPAND ON HIS STATEMENT.
IN 2020 THE ARGENTINE JUSTICE SYSTEM
ACQUITS THE LAST OF THE ACCUSED
AFTER PROVING THAT EVIDENCE
WAS TAMPERED WITH.
INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS
PUBLIC HEARING, OCTOBER 13 AND 14, 2022
IN 2021, THE STATE IS ACCUSED
BY FAMILY MEMBERS OF "MEMORIA ACTIVA"
BEFORE THE INTER-AMERICAN
HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
OF VIOLATING THE RIGHT TO LIFE
OF THE VICTIMS OF THE ATTACKS
AND OF OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.
There we saw a basement containing
about 40 centimeters of putrid water
"MEMORIA ACTIVA" WITNESS
and other things.
And boxes and boxes and boxes
and papers lying around on the floor.
Those papers remain there
as part of the archives
of the Secretary of Intelligence.
And they now can't be touched
because of the presence of asbestos.
The investigation has extended
for an unreasonable period of time
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE INTER-AMERICAN
COMMISSION OF HUMAN RIGHTS
and its paltry advances are not only
the result of state negligence,
but also intentional maneuvers
to hide the truth.
I come in the name of Argentina
to ratify the recognition
of its international responsibility,
pertaining to Decree 812 of 2005,
for the violation of the human rights
of the victims of the AMIA attack
and their families.
TODAY YOSI PERES IS IN HIDING UNDER
THE NATIONAL WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM
HOPING THAT THE ARGENTINE JUSTICE SYSTEM
LISTENS TO HIS TESTIMONY.
MORE THAN 30 YEARS LATER,
THE FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS
STILL CRY OUT FOR JUSTICE.
JUSTICE, JUSTICE SHALL YOU PURSUE.
