Hatufim (2009–2012): Season 1, Episode 5 - Take care - full transcript

The funeral of Amiel Ben Horin. Yael still sees her brother everywhere, and is desperate for him to leave her alone.

Yes, seven killed.

That's what happened
this weekend in road accidents.

Yesterday a 19-year old
was killed in Jerusalem

after driving without a
license...

Hello?

Uri?

Hey, it's Iris.

Hey.

How are you?

I'm fine.

I know who you are.



Why didn't you tell me?

I don't know.

How did you find out?

I saw a picture of you
in the paper

and I told my girlfriend that
you're the cutie I had coffee
with

and she called me a liar.

So...

Do you want to do something?

You're still interested?

Why not?
Does it change anything?

I'll pick you up in 45 minutes?

Today? No, I can't today,
I have to do some...

errands.

Great. I'll join you.



45 minutes,
wait for me downstairs?

- Um...
- Bye.

Again.

Harder, you dog.

No, please, leave me alone.

I'm begging you,
I'm begging you!

Come on, motherfucker!

It's okay...

It's okay, hit me.

Hit me, harder, come on.

Come on, you son of a bitch!

Hit him, you dog!

Hit him, you dog!

Again, you pig!

It's okay.

Hit him, motherfucker.

To most of you,
Amiel Ben Horin is a symbol.

A sticker, a bookmark,
a billboard sign,

a soldier who fell captive.

To me, he's Ami.

My best friend.

My best friend who celebrated
birthdays with me all my life.

Who played outside with me
on the sidewalk every day.

Who talked me into asking
Revital to go steady with me in
the 7th grade.

Who got me out of any trouble
I got myself into.

Who helped me in school...

You think I can smoke?

Don't you dare.

Who was there for me
when my parents died.

We celebrated
our Bar-Mitzvah together...

Will you stop it?

Calm down, you're crying
more than his sister.

When we were drafted together.

Ami had a huge heart...

I'm not allowed to cry?

He took in every stray dog...

But what are you crying about?

Despite his mother's shouting.

He taught us all
a lesson in compassion...

When you said errands...

I thought we'd go to the mall.

This is the weirdest date
I've ever had.

He was a best friend
to anyone who knew him.

He always looked out for us all.

Even after he fell captive,

Ami remained my best friend.

When I got married, he was there
with me, and when my twins were
born

he stood beside me.

When I have a problem at work,
I still close my eyes

and consult with him,
he's always available.

Always thinking of others first,
and then about himself.

Only today,
standing at his open grave

I am finally letting him rest.

Rest, Ami.

You deserve it.

"O God full of mercy

"Who dwells on high,

"grant proper rest on the wings
of the Divine Presence

"among the holy and the pure
ones who shine as the brightness
of the heavens

"for the soul of Amiel Ben Horin
who went on to his world,

"for all this congregation
will contribute to charity

"in remembrance of his soul.

"May his resting place
be in the Garden of Eden

"therefore may the Master of
mercy shelter him in His wings
for eternity

"and may He bond his soul
in the Bond of Life.

"God is his heritage,

"and may he repose in peace
on his resting place. Amen."

Prisoners of War

Uri.

Hi.

Hi.

Hello, Yoskeh.

Hello.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Yes.

Not here.

Over there?

Just for a second.

I can't right now, we have to...

It's not a good time now.

Okay.

The price was too high!

The price was too high!

The price was too high!

The price was too high!

The price was too high!

Hey...

Look.

You see that?

- Wait...
- I'm sorry,
he got through somehow...

Wait,

- look at their faces.
- It's okay, let him.

You see?

This is my wife,
this is my daughter.

The terrorist who murdered them
is free now because of you.

The people that killed them
in cold blood

are free.

You understand?

Leave me be.

I just want him to see!

This is my daughter,
this is my wife.

They were eating pizza
in Jerusalem.

The terrorist who butchered them
is free now.

For you!

They let him go for you!

What do they want?

If their loved ones were POWs,
would they still say:

"Leave them there to rot,
and don't let out any killers"?

Did they expect you'd be
released just because we ask
nicely?

These things always
have a high price.

It's just a handful of people.
The vast majority supported the
deal.

And if you stayed there

would it bring
their loved ones back?

I don't understand
the logic behind it.

There is no logic.

Only pain.

"Amiel Ben Horin"

Are you okay?

What?

You okay?

Yes.

Shall we?

The food's pretty good.

Want me to get you a plate?

Nurit, are you listening to me?

Do you know who that woman is?

Why's he taking her everywhere?

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

I went to high school with
Amiel.

I hated him.

We were very good friends.

We called him "Forehead."

Sorry.

Yael...

How are you holding up?

If there's anything
my office can do for you,

- please don't hesitate.
- Thank you.

Minister, a picture?

Smile.

- Excuse me.
- Certainly.

- I'm here if you need anything.
- Thank you.

What's your problem now?

Why can't I go home?
Are you really going to miss me
here?

You're here for your father.

The whole family.
A united front.

"A united front..."

What are we, running for office?

Yael, why are you so mad?
Come sit next to me.

Enough.

Do you want me to stop talking?

Yes. You're not here,
you don't exist.

Don't start with me.

I just buried you.

Yeah, that wasn't
very nice of you.

You deserve it.

Who are all
those people downstairs?

I don't know any of them.

Then throw them out.

What am I doing?

Stop talking to me,
you're not here, you don't
exist.

I am here.

Enough.

- Who are you talking to?
- No one.

- Can I come in?
- No.

Yes. Do whatever you want.

Yael, what are you doing here?
Everyone's in the living room.

I don't know any of them.

I want them to leave.

You think I can ask them to
leave?

I can't calm down.

My heart is going
to explode in my chest.

- What's that?
- Anti-anxiety.
It'll help you relax.

I just want this day
to be over already.

- This week.
- I know.

Are you mad at me?

No, Ilan.

What? Are you mad?

No.

- Yael, if I did something...
- You didn't do anything, Ilan.

- I tried holding your hand at
the funeral...
- Hold their hands,

not mine.

Whose hands?

Nothing.

What did I do to you?

You disappointed me.

That's what you did.

You disappointed me.

You made me a promise,

to everyone.

You kept your promise
to the other families.

So if you want to hold
anyone's hand,

hold theirs, not mine.

I'm mad.

I can't look at them
and I can't look at you.

And I know it's not
their fault or yours

but it's not fair.

You promised me that
Amiel would come back.

I...

I can't look at you, Ilan.

One more.

Hi.

I'm Iris.

Nurit.

Wait...

You're here with Uri, right?

Yes, he invited me to come.

I'm sorry I don't recognize you.

Do we know each other?

No.

Then how...

did you and Uri meet?

We met yesterday.

By chance.

Oh, yesterday.

You know...

Uri is very vulnerable right
now.

He needs to be surrounded by
people who support him and know
him.

Not with people who are
excited about who he is

or people he met
a few hours ago.

I understand
you're worried about him,

but he asked me to come here.

And I don't think
I owe anyone any explanation.

Least of all, you.

Young man,

pour me some of that juice.

Thank you.

What's your name?

Hatzav.

Hatzav.

Why do people these days

give their children
such stupid names?

I don't know.

You're Talya and Nimrod's son.

Yes.

You're Uri's father, right?

We both were given a gift.

You got a father,

I got a son.

So cheers.

Cheers.

You're lucky.

You're very lucky

that your father's back.

You're young.

You have many more years
to spend with him.

I'm lucky too.

It's just a shame his mother
died before he came back.

She would have been so happy.

My God...

Beer?

Brother, can we forget
about Nurit for a minute

and talk like two brothers who
haven't seen each other in a
long time?

Is that what you want?

Very much so.

Since I got back, you've
hardly looked me in the eye.

You're right.
I'm a coward.

Always have been.

But I was your brother
before I was her husband.

Before you were her boyfriend.

Fiancé.

If I had thought for one second

- that you'd come back...
- I don't think that's true.

Maybe you're right.

Even though I'm the older
brother,

I was always jealous of you.

I always wanted what you had.

Your brains, your friends.

Mom and Dad's attention.

I don't remember it that way.

Heck, you were in
captivity for 17 years

and I'm still jealous of...

What are you talking about,
Yaki?

I hoped you were dead.

There were days that
I hoped you were dead.

I'm sorry, I'm...

I'm really...

Seeing you suddenly like this...

I was so happy
with her in the beginning.

Why are you telling me this?

Late at night, in bed I'd pray
that you'd never come back.

And at the same time
I hated myself for doing it.

Uri...

Don't take her away from me.

What?

She and Assaf...

They're the only good thing
about my life.

Please don't take her
away from me.

Is that why you...

Need any help?

No, thank you.

How are you?

I'm fine.

Have you seen Yael? With all
the people here, I can't find
her.

Yes, I spoke with her earlier.

It was a nice ceremony.

Respectable.

Yes.

Poor thing.

Yes.

I kept thinking that it could've
been us instead of her...

I have to finish up here.

Can I ask you a question?

Why do you hate me so much?

- I don't hate you.
- Then why?

We used to be such good friends.

Nurit, give me a break.

We were never friends.

We were... partners.

In a tragedy.

- But we were still...
- We fought together.

But then you got up

and left me, on my own.

On your own?

This isn't the time
to hash out all these things,

and...

it doesn't matter anymore.

It matters to me.

You could've helped me.

The whole country hates me.

People cuss at me wherever I go,
they look at me like...

- What did I do?
- And that's my fault?

You're the woman
everyone admires,

the one who didn't cheat,
the good one.

In interviews,
on television, you could have...

You know, just like I do, that
they weren't the only ones in
captivity.

We were too.

I sat in prison for 17 years.

Just like him.

But you upped and left.

You left me there alone.

- Because I fell in love?
- You moved on with your life.

You're mad at me
for wanting to live?

That's not a right we have!

We're supposed to wait,

to fight.

Not surrender.

I fight,

day in and day out, alone.

I can understand
everyone's boycott on me.

They weren't in our shoes,
so they can hate me.

- But you?
- Especially me.

I still can't understand
how you did this to him.

To me.

- It's easy for you to say...
- Easy?

I had it easy?

How dare you.

You had two kids.

A family.

I wanted kids too.

Did you all expect me
to be single forever?

To sacrifice my life just so you
can feel good about yourselves?

Would that have made you all
happy?

Don't blame me for the mess
you created in your life!

- Everyone can hear.
- Not now!

I'm not as strong
as you are, Talya.

I couldn't keep on waiting.

It would've killed me.

Maybe you're the strong one
and not me.

What did I do all these years?

I waited?

You dared to live.

You didn't let them put you in
the square they wanted you in.

Yeah, and look at me now,

everyone hates me more
than the Hezbollah.

Especially him.

I hurt him so much.

Everyone, apparently.

Even Assaf.
The kids at school...

If you had waited,
there would've been no Assaf.

And if I had waited...

And if they hadn't come back...

I would've been alone
my whole life.

You know, I'm a little jealous
of Uri sometimes.

Uri? Why?

Come look at them.

Like a married couple.

He's his real partner.

We'll never be a part of the
things they went through
together.

I'll be happy with just taking
some kind of part in his life.

Will you help me with the
dishes?

It's good to be at home, huh?

The kids are nice.

Talya's a little...

The food's good here.

I forgot how much.

Much better
than Jamal's cooking.

Anything's better than
pita bread with gasoline...

I called yesterday,

the number he gave us.

Someone answered.

Come on.

- I thought we said...
- I hung up.

I just wanted...

I don't know.

Come on, keep walking.

But we said we wouldn't...

Maybe we should
just tell someone.

Put this behind us.

- How do you suggest we put...
- Excuse me?

Thank you for coming.

I feel like we've known
each other for a long time.

But we've never really met.

- I feel the same way.
- Me too.

We heard so much about you.

He...

Ami...

He talked about you a lot.
And your parents.

And the dogs.

It's strange being here after
everything we heard about this
place.

I imagined it
completely different.

What happened to him?

What happened that
he didn't come back?

He...

We're not exactly sure.

Most of the time
we were separated.

Did he suffer?

No... I...

I know he suffered.

I can feel it.

We all suffered.

I need to hear it.

I need to know
what happened to him.

If there's anything you know.

Please.

Again, you dog.

No, no, he's had enough.

Finish him off.

You have three seconds...

One... two...

Okay, okay.

Okay.

Harder, you dog.

Harder.

Again, harder.

Come on.

Hit him.

Please, no.

Harder, motherfucker!

Harder!

I don't know.

Really.

Everything okay?

Can we go? I need to
make a stop on the way home.

Go? Already?

Yes.

Yes, sure.

Did you tell the kids?

I'll go get them...

How are you?

Fine... thanks.

Thanks for looking out for him.

We looked out for each other.

I promised to do whatever I
could, but there are things...

I know.

I know.

I'm sorry for what I said
earlier, I didn't mean it.

You sure?

Poor things,
I didn't walk them all day.

Where's Dana?

How should I know?

Go wait by the car,
I'll be right there.

Goodbye, Yoskeh.

Well?

See you later, young man.

Add me as your friend
on Facebook, okay?

Dana?

What are you doing here?

- What are you doing here?
- Who's that with you?

Mom, it's not...

Dana? What's going on here?

Who's Dana?

We're leaving.
Go to the car.

Now!

Ma'am...

She said...
Nothing happened.

- She told me...
- I know.

I know my daughter.

Are you sure
there's nothing we can help
with?

Yes.

If there's anything we can do...

Actually, there is
something you can do.

Yes, it's quite obvious.

Yes, yes.

I don't know.

How many times
do I have to say it?

Yes.

Dad?

It's for you.

Come in.

If you want to ruin
my relationship with him...

Nothing I say helps,

and he is your father.

Maybe he'll know what to do.

Mom, I promised
it won't happen again.

Don't tell him.

I don't want him to know.

Please.

Tomorrow I'm finding a therapist
for you. You'll start going once
a week.

No way I'm going to a therapist.

Then I'm telling him.

Either you talk to
a therapist or I tell him.

Fine, I get it, okay.

I'll start seeing
a therapist tomorrow.

It was very strange.

The sky was black... that day.

My wife called me from
the pizza place and told me

to go out and look at the sky.

A few minutes
before the explosion.

My daughter Dorit loved pizza,
so they went downtown...

Enough, Dad.

I want to tell him.

It's all you ever talk about.

Don't stop me,
I want to tell him.

I hung up the phone
and went out on the porch.

I look up and can't believe my
eyes.

The sky was...

as if it was going to rain
in the middle of summer.

And when I was standing there
on the porch...

I heard the explosion.

I immediately knew.

I don't know how, but I knew.

They sat close to the entrance.

The suicide bomber did it
right at the entrance.

They didn't have a chance.

The terrorist who planned the
attack, Samir Bargouti, is 34
years old.

He's celebrating
his release from prison,

dancing on my family's grave.

He's somewhere
having a party and I'm here...

Dorit...

was only 12 years old.

I'm sorry.

Look.

Look.

It was a lovely event.

No?

It was so funny when
you told them to walk the dogs.

They were in shock.

Lali, why are you ignoring me?

Because you're not here.

Is that why you turn around
when you change your top?

Of course I'm here.

You're not.
You died.

Nope.

I'm here with you.

Forever.

Stop.

- But...
- Stop!

Lali...

You know what?
I believe you.

You're here?

Yes.

Really?

Yes.

Lali, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

If you're here, stop me.

Stop it.

What are you doing?

If you're here, stop me.

Enough.

Stop, I'm begging you.

Stop.

Then stop me.

Come here and hug me.

Throw these pills
out of my hand.

Now.

If you were here,
you'd protect me.

You'd stop me, you'd help me.

Yael, stop it.

I'm begging you.

Please.

Please, stop.

Please.

Enough.
