Money? Jewelry?
Diamonds are missing, yes.
How much are we
talking here?
Wholesale, about $720,000.
Well, look, I hate to say this,
but if we're talking diamonds...
we could be looking
at a felony here.
Maybe your son ripped you off.
I've seen it a hundred times.
In your world perhaps, not in ours.
Are you in charge here?
The Almighty is in charge.
Um, Mr. Klausman...
when was the last time
that you saw your son?
Tuesday night... right before Yaakov
went to say Maariv.
[ Ariel ] Maariv,
that's the evening prayer.
I should also tell you
I'm Yaakov's best friend...
and probably the last person
to see him before he disappeared.
Then you and I are gonna
have to have a little talk.
You will pardon me.
I have people waiting to see me.
No, no. You stay.
- It wouldn't be proper,
us alone in the room.
Why, are you planning
on jumping my bones?
It's a question of modesty,
proper behavior.
I was just kidding.
I was kidding.
Yes, of course.
I got it. I got it. Okay?
Here we go. All right,
speak to me of Yaakov Klausman.
[ Buzzing ]
- Sholem alechem.
- Alechem sholem.
Hi.
That's all the transactions
for the past year...
- to the public.
- What do you mean?
On the street, among ourselves,
we do business with a handshake.
- No written contracts?
- It's a business based
on honor and trust.
Huh. What exactly does Yaakov do?
Yaakov cuts the stones.
He's fallen behind in his work
what with his wedding and all.
Oh.
- What do you call those?
- These?
- Yeah, those.
- Payess.
Payess?
Why do you wear 'em?
It's in the Torah, the Bible. It's a law.
You're not supposed to shave there.
How come?
Well, the Torah doesn't give us
a reason. But the Rabbis teach us...
in ancient times idol worshipers
used to cut their hair in
that area as part of their cult.
We are forbidden to imitate them.
Yeah, well, whatever.
Yaakov's got himself a whole new life.
- We already told you --
- Yeah, I know what you told me.
But I got experience, okay?
I know human nature.
You will pardon me,
but you do not know our nature.
With all due respect, sir,
there is a thief trying to get out.
You're positive?
When you've seen
what I've seen in this life, okay?
- When you came here
was the alarm on or off?
- Off.
- Is that typical?
- No, not at all. We keep
it on all the time.
When somebody comes we switch it off,
then we turn it right back on.
- So Yaakov turned off the alarm
because he knew who was coming?
- Yes, I suppose.
- And no one you've talked to
saw Yaakov leave?
- No one.
Yeah, well, nobody just vanishes,
