Ha-Pritza Hagdola (1970) - full transcript
Eli is an Israeli soldier who manages to escape from a notorious Arab prison. He makes it back to Israel, where he finds Beno, another soldier who had spent 2 years of horror in the same prison. They organize a rescue operation against the prison. The soldiers must use both cunning and boldness if they are to help their fellow Israelis regain their freedom.

bridge and stay close to the walls

are no mines right there a man is not going
to put mines against the walls of his
own house it might work it's 30 miles
it'll take you all night to get there you'll
have to find a place to stay under cover during

government press bureau has advised me to go to el
musia prison to interview the israeli prisoners

point of view do you understand and now major

each car is checked twice first at the bridge
then at the gate and the water tanker yes the
tank or two even though it comes in
every morning and everyone expects it
a jeep with a major and somebody
else is on its way to the prison
it might be our man ellie come on sit down
over there great michael himself
is taking him into the prison look
that's the signal isn't it take a look that's it
they wake up at 5 30 breakfast
at six physical training
and then work who are they scum of
the earth political prisoners spies
traders that's amazing major you really have
quite a fortress here be very difficult to blow up
blow up oh i mean the walls are thick strong they
don't make them that way anymore i would say this
place was probably built before christ oh it's a
very old building even before uh muhammad ahmad
mr coleman i just remembered i must go up to my
office my sergeant will show you to the cells
right when you finish please
come to my office i will ahmad
go on see you later yes oh by the way major
i really don't understand why everyone speaks
so badly of you you show me such such courtesy
so hello hello yes here we ask for
the defense ministry the chief himself
all right will you talk with the colonel
samuel just a minute please connect me major
hello hello michael speaking
how are you yes small question
does the name coleman mean anything to you
coleman a reporter you gave me a letter for me
what i see yes that's what i thought
something very funny is happening down here
you'll hear more about it yes i'll call you
sit down
is something wrong wait a minute
tell me something do you think the israeli
intelligence service is composed of idiots
and oh oh no no you're full they are clever they
are as clever and cunning as devils those israelis
look the guy arrives and just about
moves the mountain to get in here
and then he goes around leaving me messages
everywhere that he is in israeli like this
shirt with his big made in israel label
all these phony passport now tell me
jamil if they are not idiots why would
they do this why i don't know why
to feed me with false information or as they
say to confuse the enemy it can't be sir look
he's an israeli
i know that he's an israeli and he knows that i
know that he's an israeli get it i see what you
mean that's very clever major yeah come in
major what's the matter something important
something very urgent
that's him
are you sure it was him yes sir i'm quite sure
ali returns welcome back
so they're up to something
one is outside and one is already inside i
know these two have come to free the full
israeli prisoners just the two of them no no
my friend i'm willing to bet that several more
of them are in the area we've got to catch
them major of course we've got to catch them
but let's use our brains brains jamil i want them
all maybe there are 20 maybe a hundred a hundred
why are they hiding they are not stupid
they've got a plan carefully thought out
why don't we ask the army to help no
we shall take care of them on our own
i don't want any bloody staff officer from our
headquarters collecting medals at my expense
let them be a hundred let them be more
we'll take care of them on our own
you know i've got a feeling i may be
meeting an old acquaintance of mine
who someone who i've been waiting for
for a long time he spent two years here
and he promised that he'd come back to settle the
score do you mean the tall israeli i know who you
mean what was his name dana do you remember him
do you think he's one of them just the feeling
they want to break in here they are
welcome they are all welcome to come in
to come in but not to go out
that's very clever major to come in but not to go
out unless they leave in coffins enough lieutenant
yes sir go find that reporter and have him meet
the israelis you know in which room yes sir leave
him there alone and report back to me let him talk
to them alone you heard me alone yes sir let's go
i'm an american journalist i'm here to
ask you some questions and i would like
to have them answered truthfully okay what
do you want to know everything i ask you
okay only if you get rid of
these two is that possible
five minutes cigarette
thanks hmm all right how long you been in solitary
confinement three months hmm how about the food
sweet or salted tea dry bread twice a day
what's the matter with him he won't talk he hasn't
said a word for three months they broke him and
he tried to commit suicide since then he's he's
been sort of strange he needs urgent treatment
he'll get it sooner than you think
now tell me about the water situation
there isn't any here the wells are dried up they
bring the water from farid every morning in a
tanker in a tanker yes early at four o'clock
in the morning you mean that a water tanker
goes in and out of the prison every morning yes
at four o'clock i don't understand keep quiet
gather around i have something very
important to tell you about we have a plan
who are you my name is abraham but that's not
important i bring a regard from colonel udi from
beno and from your friend ellie ellie yes where is
he he's all right you'll see him soon enough now
let me tell you about the plan be careful they're
listening up there all right listen carefully
we're going to break through tomorrow night to
get you four out of here what time midnight uh-huh
you know where to find us in the
solitary cells yes and the lost ones
don't worry we'll find you see you tomorrow night
hey may i have that cigarette now
this should give back to me tomorrow night
hey we've gone home soon come in come in
have you got the transcription yes sir are you
sure he said midnight yes sir well i dismissed
i learned the prophet i don't understand he
must have realized we were listening to him
so you're beginning to catch on
and they have a different plan
he was trying to mislead us yes but if it isn't
midnight it can't be done because they have to
go 30 miles to get back to israel which means they
would have to walk all that way in broad daylight
and why not the israelis always
attack at dawn remember at dawn
hey wait a minute where is he now
photographing in the yard come on let's go
yes
thank you
for such an ambitious man you're very naive
jamie so you think they wouldn't attack captain

time the water arrives and how
in the tank the only vehicle that enters
without any problems every morning

bridge and stay close to the walls

are no mines right there a man is not going
to put mines against the walls of his
own house it might work it's 30 miles
it'll take you all night to get there you'll
have to find a place to stay under cover during

fact that is a fact buy or something might
interest you major do you recognize this man

government press bureau has advised me to go to el
musia prison to interview the israeli prisoners
and to take new pictures to bring things up to

point of view do you understand and now major
if you'd be so kind would you lift your head and
smile what come on take me to his room quick yes

no one has ever managed to escape from el museum

your body supreme they are going to pay you more
than they paid you for those pictures you make
do you do you believe i did it for the money
no i don't really understand you saved me the
other day in the wadi and they didn't pay you

all i have children in israel where in romney
we'll take you with us all right come on
you are all crazy and i'm even crazier
get it
each car is checked twice first at the bridge
then at the gate and the water tanker yes the
tank or two even though it comes in
every morning and everyone expects it
a jeep with a major and somebody
else is on its way to the prison
it might be our man ellie come on sit down
over there great michael himself
is taking him into the prison look
that's the signal isn't it take a look that's it
they wake up at 5 30 breakfast
at six physical training
and then work who are they scum of
the earth political prisoners spies
traders that's amazing major you really have
quite a fortress here be very difficult to blow up
blow up oh i mean the walls are thick strong they
don't make them that way anymore i would say this
place was probably built before christ oh it's a
very old building even before uh muhammad ahmad
mr coleman i just remembered i must go up to my
office my sergeant will show you to the cells
right when you finish please
come to my office i will ahmad
go on see you later yes oh by the way major
i really don't understand why everyone speaks
so badly of you you show me such such courtesy
so hello hello yes here we ask for
the defense ministry the chief himself
all right will you talk with the colonel
samuel just a minute please connect me major
hello hello michael speaking
how are you yes small question
does the name coleman mean anything to you
coleman a reporter you gave me a letter for me
what i see yes that's what i thought
something very funny is happening down here
you'll hear more about it yes i'll call you
sit down
is something wrong wait a minute
tell me something do you think the israeli
intelligence service is composed of idiots
and oh oh no no you're full they are clever they
are as clever and cunning as devils those israelis
look the guy arrives and just about
moves the mountain to get in here
and then he goes around leaving me messages
everywhere that he is in israeli like this
shirt with his big made in israel label
all these phony passport now tell me
jamil if they are not idiots why would
they do this why i don't know why
to feed me with false information or as they
say to confuse the enemy it can't be sir look
he's an israeli
i know that he's an israeli and he knows that i
know that he's an israeli get it i see what you
mean that's very clever major yeah come in
major what's the matter something important
something very urgent
that's him
are you sure it was him yes sir i'm quite sure
ali returns welcome back
so they're up to something
one is outside and one is already inside i
know these two have come to free the full
israeli prisoners just the two of them no no
my friend i'm willing to bet that several more
of them are in the area we've got to catch
them major of course we've got to catch them
but let's use our brains brains jamil i want them
all maybe there are 20 maybe a hundred a hundred
why are they hiding they are not stupid
they've got a plan carefully thought out
why don't we ask the army to help no
we shall take care of them on our own
i don't want any bloody staff officer from our
headquarters collecting medals at my expense
let them be a hundred let them be more
we'll take care of them on our own
you know i've got a feeling i may be
meeting an old acquaintance of mine
who someone who i've been waiting for
for a long time he spent two years here
and he promised that he'd come back to settle the
score do you mean the tall israeli i know who you
mean what was his name dana do you remember him
do you think he's one of them just the feeling
they want to break in here they are
welcome they are all welcome to come in
to come in but not to go out
that's very clever major to come in but not to go
out unless they leave in coffins enough lieutenant
yes sir go find that reporter and have him meet
the israelis you know in which room yes sir leave
him there alone and report back to me let him talk
to them alone you heard me alone yes sir let's go
i'm an american journalist i'm here to
ask you some questions and i would like
to have them answered truthfully okay what
do you want to know everything i ask you
okay only if you get rid of
these two is that possible
five minutes cigarette
thanks hmm all right how long you been in solitary
confinement three months hmm how about the food
sweet or salted tea dry bread twice a day
what's the matter with him he won't talk he hasn't
said a word for three months they broke him and
he tried to commit suicide since then he's he's
been sort of strange he needs urgent treatment
he'll get it sooner than you think
now tell me about the water situation
there isn't any here the wells are dried up they
bring the water from farid every morning in a
tanker in a tanker yes early at four o'clock
in the morning you mean that a water tanker
goes in and out of the prison every morning yes
at four o'clock i don't understand keep quiet
gather around i have something very
important to tell you about we have a plan
who are you my name is abraham but that's not
important i bring a regard from colonel udi from
beno and from your friend ellie ellie yes where is
he he's all right you'll see him soon enough now
let me tell you about the plan be careful they're
listening up there all right listen carefully
we're going to break through tomorrow night to
get you four out of here what time midnight uh-huh
you know where to find us in the
solitary cells yes and the lost ones
don't worry we'll find you see you tomorrow night
hey may i have that cigarette now
this should give back to me tomorrow night
hey we've gone home soon come in come in
have you got the transcription yes sir are you
sure he said midnight yes sir well i dismissed
i learned the prophet i don't understand he
must have realized we were listening to him
so you're beginning to catch on
and they have a different plan
he was trying to mislead us yes but if it isn't
midnight it can't be done because they have to
go 30 miles to get back to israel which means they
would have to walk all that way in broad daylight
and why not the israelis always
attack at dawn remember at dawn
hey wait a minute where is he now
photographing in the yard come on let's go
yes
thank you
for such an ambitious man you're very naive
jamie so you think they wouldn't attack captain
then why would he care about the
time the water arrives and how
in the tank the only vehicle that enters
without any problems every morning
i salute you mr coleman beautiful plan you son of
a [ __ ] well mr coleman are you pleased yes major
