Hatufim (2009–2012): Season 2, Episode 12 - Nohal Hannibal - full transcript

Previously on POW

Yasmin 336.

There it is.

It's a hotel. Unbelievable.

I'll go.
-You don't have a foreign passport.

Nurit has a Hungarian passport.

We're going
to bring him home, Haim.

We're going to bring him home.

I need a room, please.

If possible,
I need room 336, please.

I told him
we're going to bring him home.



And about me?
-Not a word.

Next time he comes, let him go up
to the room and call me immediately.

Is that clear?

Here you go.

This is Ahmed
from the Hotel Yasmin.

Yes, he's here.

He just got here.

Here we go.

Excellent.

Be here tomorrow morning.

It's about Yusuf. He's not on our side
and I have proof.

I think he's planning...

Have a seat, Abdullah.

The Israelis are planning
to rescue Yusuf.



Tomorrow night, bro.

Tomorrow night we're going
to kidnap an Israeli soldier.

Hungry?

We interrupt our program

to report a serious incident
on the Lebanese border.

The details aren't clear yet,
but apparently it's the abduction...

Our correspondent in the north
reports that at about 10 p.m.

shooting was heard in the southern part
of the Lebanese border.

A senior Northern Command officer
states anonymously

that the border fence
was broken through.

An initial investigation is being
carried out, and further details...

Did you hear?
-He's not picking up.

He tricked us.

Everyone's waiting for you.
-And?

Did you initiate
the Hannibal Procedure?

Listen good,

find that car

and blow it up.

What has he got us
mixed up in?

Thanks to our correspondent
in the north. As you heard,

although we have no official response
from the IDF,

Israel's response can be heard
on the northern border.

The IDF is attacking targets
in Southern Lebanon.

A tense hush prevails
on the northern border

a few hours after a serious incident,
the details of which cannot be revealed.

This has nothing to do with us,
right?

This can't have to do with us.

Try Haim again.

What is this?

There's nothing here.

They cleared out.

Prisoners of War

16 hours earlier

You know I can't leave.

Then when can you?

I'm working till late.

What are you doing tomorrow?

I think I have Saturday off.

Okay, then maybe...

Wait a minute.

What?

Again.

Write it down.

I'm sending you on patrol,
there's action at 452 again.

The UN soldiers
are playing gardener again.

I have no choice.

All right...

Hang up. Bye.

Ivy, this is Bird, over.

Over, Bird.

Long time no hear.

Send out a patrol,
there's action at 452 again.

Roger. We're on our way.

Kids...

let's go,

we're going on a field trip.

Hey!

You are too close to the fence.
Back off.

Okay, okay. We finished.
Thank you.

It took them 10 minutes
and 40 seconds.

So it'll take them 10 minutes
to get back.

And in the meantime...

You know,
Mom's very excited too.

Dad, we talked about this,
she can't come,

she'll cry
in front of all the other kids.

It'll be fun, you'll see.

You'll meet new students,

you'll make friends,

you'll learn a lot.

Good luck, my sweet big boy.

Mom and I
will pick you up after school

and we'll go celebrate, okay?

Okay, that's enough.

That is enough.

Hey.

How are you?

Are you okay?

I didn't want to wake you.

It's kind of strange.

It's strange to leave home.
-You aren't leaving home!

You'll be home this Saturday
or next Saturday.

Hatzavie, it'll be fine.

Then why are you crying?
-I'm emotional, that's all.

Don't let my tears worry you.

I'm happy for you.

What's happy about it?

That I'm going to be killed
in the army?

Don't be silly.

You'll be happy there.

And if not,
I'll make sure you're happy.

You know your mom, don't you?

Even if I have to protest outside
the Chief of Staff's office.

Mom made that for me.

Want some?

We haven't talked
for a long time.

What do you expect?
You aren't here.

I'm sorry
I disappeared now of all times.

It's okay.

If you're happier there...

Stop packing,
I'm trying to talk to you.

Everything's different, Dana.

You aren't here,
Mom's acting strange,

Dad... always.

Everything... The house...

It'll be okay.

Or not.

Or not.

Thanks.

Hi.

Do you know
how handsome you are?

How are you, Mom?

You look just like him,

like your father.

I'm sorry.

About what?

I didn't raise you right.

I should've been stronger.

Stop it, Mom.

You're a wonderful mother.
Stop it.

My boy,

he loved you so much.

Do you still
think about him sometimes?

Mom, I came because
I have something to tell you.

I came to say goodbye.

I'm going abroad for a while,

to clear my head.

I don't know for how long yet,
but I...

I hope I'll be back soon.

I...
-Then tell Dad.

Maybe he'll go with you.

He'd love to spend
some time with you.

He's been working
very hard lately.

I'll tell him.
-He's very proud of you.

You know that, don't you?

I'll fix what happened to us, Mom.

I promise.

My boy,

be careful.

Be nice to him. Supportive.

He looks a little stressed.

I know.

Whoa, how scary.
-Stop it, Dana.

Tal and his mom called
from their car,

they'll be here soon.
Want to wait outside?

We'll wait here.
There's no hurry.

And no big dramas, either.

We'll hug once and I'll go.

Alone. Okay?
-Okay.

Here's Dad.

The bike's kind of pathetic, isn't it?

Yeah.
-Yeah.

But it's also kind of cute.

Look at him,

with that stupid jacket.

Tal's here.

I have to go.

Call me whenever you like, okay?
-Okay.

Bye.

Let's hope the next time we see him
isn't 17 years from now.

I'm joking, for God's sake.

What? I'm joking.

Why is she acting up?

I'll talk to her.

He'll be fine.

Remember?

Like Hatzavie.

You didn't want to hug
in front of your friends and parents.

But you didn't give in.
-No.

I kissed you in front of
your friends and your parents,

I didn't care.

You turned red as a tomato.

I was terrified too,
just like Hatzav.

No you weren't.

You don't remember, Nimrode.

You weren't afraid
of anything back then.

You were as brave as they get.

There was nothing
you couldn't handle.

We were all afraid

of the army, of changes,
but not you.

You were...

What?

I was...

I remember
looking in your eyes

and seeing
our whole future together.

The home we'd build together,

our children.

Even...

even growing old together.

They took everything from us,

they didn't leave us anything.

Hello?

It's me.
-Hi. -Hi hi.

I was just thinking about you.

Really?
-Yes.

I'm at the store
and I thought I'd make dinner

before you go to the army.

I'm good at pasta and tofu.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm just...

I know I said I'd come
say goodbye before I left,

but I think I...

won't be coming.

Is it the tofu?

No, it's not the tofu.

Then why?

Because I'm afraid if I come...

I'll never want to leave.

That's an excellent excuse.

It's not an excuse, it's...

Ynon, are you all right?

This is the first time
I've ever felt...

Me too...

If that's what you meant.

Take care of yourself.

All right.

Call me from there.

Bye, Yaelie.

Hey. Wow!

What a beautiful house.
Did you design it?

Hello, Dana.

Very Frank Lloyd Wright.

I didn't know
you were into architecture.

I'm not.

I want you to kick my dad
out of the apartment.

I know you think
you're helping him

and you're a good friend
and he needs a place to live,

but if you really want
to help him,

tell him he has to leave.

I can't do that to him.
-Yes, you can.

Lie.

Tell him your wife needs the apartment,
that you have to sell.

Why would I do that?

Because when he's not at home,
they don't...

They live separate lives
and they'll never get back together.

They need to be together,
to try again.

Dana,

you're still young. You've never
had a long-term relationship.

My ex-wife and I
lived together for years

after we'd fallen out of love.

Believe me, geography
has nothing to do with it.

Don't give me your life story.

Kick him out, send him home,

that's where he belongs.

What does your ex
have to do with it?

Okay, I'll think about it
and I'll let you know.

Great.

That's all I wanted.

Is that it?

I don't get a peek today?

What are you talking about?

Last time

you gave me a short
but surprising anatomy lesson.

You're a creep and a perv.

I have a boyfriend.

But if I didn't love him so much...

What I would do to you...

I'm going to get ready.

Ynon...

What if ten minutes isn't enough?

I'll stall the patrol vehicle,
leave it to me.

No soldier will get hurt
because of me.

Come in.

I don't know why I'm here.

Ynon Palter, 26,

served in the GS Elite Force.

Top scores in the course,
physically and mentally.

I'm glad to hear that.
I... try hard.

Why did you ask
to be in Kidon?

I wanted to contribute.

I heard a lot about the unit,

I heard what you do here.

Your name is Ynon Meiri

from Metulla.

Son of Moshe and Sivan Meiri.

You lied on your forms.

I didn't lie,
my mother's name is...

Palter. After my father died...

You knew we couldn't accept you
if we knew who you were.

My father's death
has nothing to do with it.

This morning,
when we found out who you are,

we dropped you from the unit.

You're out.

Thank you.

Are you all right?

They kicked me out.

They say that...

I didn't do...
-It's because of me.

I asked them to kick you out.

Have we met?

We first met when you were six.

Are you ready?

I have...
something to ask of you,

a little out of the ordinary.
-Yes?

Lately I've been wondering
why Atar chose me.

Besides the obvious reason,
of course.

A whole life, and...

I have only three people
to say goodbye to.

A mother who can hardly
remember my name,

a girl who I met a few weeks ago
who doesn't know who I really am,

and you.

Pathetic, isn't it?

At least if I don't come back,

not too many people
will miss me.

The reason Atar chose you

is that if anyone can do this, it's...

Ynon,

you started this with Atar,

but if you've changed your mind...
-Don't!

Again.

Point 452 is where the Israeli army
is planning to rescue me.

At midnight Rami and Ihab
will approach the fence.

A diversion for the unit
that's supposed to rescue you.

Yes.

And when they get there,
what will they find?

Nobody. I won't be there.

Once the patrol leaves,
there'll only be three soldiers there.

That's all.

This point here is the closest
guard post to the fence.

There's only one soldier there.

Once the base is empty,
he's vulnerable.

By the time they realize they've been
tricked, even if they rush back...

It'll take them at least
10 minutes to get there.

They're the closest patrol to the base.
The next base is 18 minutes away.

What about the Air Force?

They won't get there in time.

By the time they find out,
we'll be here.

What's there?

A UN vehicle.

Where's the reserves soldier
they sent us?

I saw him by the jeep.

What's he doing there?

Hey!

Looking for me?
-Yeah, what are you doing there?

Peeing.

I don't like army latrines.

Don't you have guard duty now?
-I'm on my way.

Good night.

Good night.

Good thing you're here.
I'm falling asleep.

Go to bed.
-Good night. -Good night.

Allah is great...
-Allah is great...

You're a minute early.
Thanks.

Good night, girls.

I only start in a minute.

Again?

I can't believe it.

Okay, write it down.

Ivy, this is Bird, over.

Bird, what are you doing there?

It's 452 again.
Get over there.

Fuck! I just fell asleep.

Get going,
something's going on there.

What's going on?
Call headquarters.

Bird, this is Ivy,

all seems quiet.

"Just another autumn night

"and there are no stars..."

Get back to Ivy quick,

something's happening there,
the gate's open. Go!

Go, go, go!

The gate's open,
we see at least three of the enemy.

Yes, now!

What's going on?
-Start the engine!

Bird, this is Ivy.

Out! Out!

Run!

Get ready to roll.

Alert Skylark!

Ruby!

Stop barking, I'm coming.

I missed his whole life

and now they're taking him away
for another three years.

Couldn't you have postponed
his enlistment?

I didn't tell anyone
it bothered me.

Anyway, I feel like we screwed up
their lives by coming back.

I don't want
to bother them anymore.

But that's what they want.

You're their father.

Maybe you're right.

What?
-Oren called me.

Dana was at his house today.

Don't tell me she and...

No. That's what I thought
he was calling to tell me,

but no.

No.

She went there to ask him
to kick me out.

Why?

She thinks that'll make me
go back home.

She's sweet.

Yes, very.

I think you should go home, too.

I don't know if I'm ready.

We don't have time, Nimrode.

You don't have time.

Things can happen, life can...

Everything can change
in an instant.

You and I know that,

we know that better than anyone.

So don't...

don't wait for the perfect moment.

Go back home,

to your family.

Just imagine

everything working out, huh?

I'll go back to Talia,
you're with Nurit,

and Ami will be back in Israel.

Nimrode,
there's something I didn't...

Something I want to tell you,

but you have to
promise me something.

What is it?

I'm dying to see him
in uniform.

I hope he's not scared,
that he's okay.

Hatzav doesn't like change,
he's not like Dana.

What?

I'd hoped
you were thinking of us.

I'm sorry.

My life keeps getting
in the way of our dates.

My life is stopping me from living.

I'm not looking for a friend.

I think you know that.

So if I'm fooling myself

just tell me

so the fall isn't too hard
for a man of my weight.

I don't know.

I like being with you.

It's nice.

Today I even thought...

I have an empty house now,

I thought of inviting you over.

For coffee.

Shall we get the check?

Yes, let's.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Mom,

Dorothy's home.

Mom.

She isn't here.

Or maybe she's upstairs...

fucking your father.

Oh, gross.

I'll call and find out where she is.
She ruined the surprise.

What's this?
I have 14 text messages from Hatzav:

"Turn on the TV."

We have no response from
any military or political entity.

Back to you.

Thanks to our correspondent
in the north.

As you heard, although
we have no official response

from the IDF,

Israel's response can be heard
on the northern border.

The IDF is attacking targets
in southern Lebanon.

A tense hush prevails
on the northern border

a few hours after a serious incident,
the details of which are classified.

What is this?

There's nothing here.

They cleared out.

Is Ynon the soldier
they're talking about?

How did this happen, Ze'ev?
How did it go wrong?

Now we have to go to
the head of the Mossad and...

It didn't go wrong, Haim,

it went right.
-What?

Ynon was captured.

Operation Judah.

You sent him?

You and Atar?

But you told me...

I couldn't tell you
the real objectives,

you'd never agree to it.

What have you got us mixed up in?

A soldier was captured!
-That's what he trained for,

that was the idea in the first place.
Be happy, it worked.

That's what he trained for.

That's Operation Judah,

the assassination of the leaders of
Children of Jihad from within.

The assassination
of the leaders of Children...

What?

And what about Amiel?

We haven't heard from him
since Jamal died.

If he's on our side,
Ynon will rescue him.

And if he's working with them...

Well what side is he on?

That's what Ynon
is about to find out.

Do you know who I am?

What's your name?

What's your name?

No... What are you doing?

What are you doing?

You shouldn't have come here.

Allah is great.

Next on POW

The organization called earlier.

They said not to use phones
and not to turn on the lights.

You worry me, Yusuf.
What's going on?

Aren't we safe here anymore?

Should I go to my parents' house?

I'll explain everything
when I get back. Don't worry.

What made you talk?

What was it?

The electric shock? The beatings?
What?

The loneliness.

Qasab suspects that
something else is happening here

and we don't what it is yet.

Maybe we caught
someone important.

Maybe the Prime Minister's son,
who knows?

Allah willing.
