Drugs: Fake or Real?


Question: Are the drugs brought to the garage by Omar and Malik actually fake or are the undercover cops pretending that the drugs are fake as part of the drug bust operation? How do we know? Thanks for clarification.

The drugs are fake. We see Binj taking some of the real drugs and putting half of it down the toilet, and then the other half he puts on a glass plate. He wraps up what looks like flour into the packaging to make it look like drugs, and stashes them around the house. Then he overdoses on the real drugs. Omar and Malek steal one of the packages of fake drugs when they go to his house after his death.

Neither Omar or the cops realise the drugs are fake until the man Momi says "are you kidding me?". So basically the undercover operation is ruined. But I think the main reason that Dando the policeman goes out there is because he sees Malek holding a watch that looks like it belonged to his dead brother Yoni.

The drugs are fake. Watch the film until the end and you will understand it.

It was sugar. They showed him milling granulated sugar in the blender to make it superfine and look like drugs.
