As Peter closes in on the suspect, he runs into Detective Golan Cohen of the Israeli Police, who is also after Khalid, but for a local robbery. This isn't the first time these two have stepped on each other's jurisdictional toes. After a pursuit through East Jerusalem, Detective Cohen apprehends Khalid.
