Professor Avishai Sar-Shalom, a world-renowned economist, is found dead in his bed five days before the winners of the Nobel Prize are announced.
1. Zohara
Zohara finds Avishai dead in his bed. She calls their friends to get the funeral arrangements going. But then, Yehuda suggests an idea: What if they keep Avishai’s death a secret for five days, to allow him to win the Nobel Prize? After some debate, the idea is accepted.
2. Amos
Amos and Zohara are able to get into the house and put out the flames. Amos heads off to the university to take Avishai’s place at an important meeting with donors. On his way, he suffers humiliations over his standing in academia and his skills as a researcher.
3. Yehuda
Yehuda heads up north for a meeting that he has been waiting for with a well-known intellectual and television personality who agreed to read his book and give him notes. He leaves his good friend’s body on the floor of his house and leaves. On his way up north, he picks up a hitchhiker, who eventually steals his jeep and his cellphone. Yehuda takes a cab to get to the meeting, only to discover there is no meeting: It was all a ruse by his wife - who isn’t abroad after all - to get him to a bed and breakfast up north, a surprise party for his seventieth birthday, with all of his extended family.

4. Nili
The friends blame Nili - who isn’t speaking to them and wouldn’t answer her phone all day - for Avishai’s disappearance. Nili denies this. Just then, they hear on the news that the young Arab man who ran over Avishai’s body in episode two has turned himself into the police for manslaughter. The four of them realize it’s only a matter of time before the police get to them, and they embark on a search for the body. Along the way, different relationships between the four of them reach their boiling point and hidden motivations and unspoken tensions bubble to the surface.
