Hatufim (2009–2012): Season 2, Episode 13 - Mivtza Yehuda - full transcript

Previously on POW

With this type of cancer,

the sooner you detect it,

the better the chances of helping.

This spot

is the closest guard post
to the fence.

There's one soldier there.

Why do I need to learn this?

When will I ever use it?

Get back to Ivy fast,

something's happening there.
The gate is open.



Although we have no official response
from the IDF,

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

This can't have anything
to do with us.

Do you know who I am?

What's your name?

What are you doing?

You shouldn't have come here.

Nimrode, you'll break the door.

I really don't care.

Try calling again.
Maybe he isn't even home.

Nimrode!

Just a sec.

What are you doing here?

Tell me this has nothing to do with us.



How did you know
where I live?

Tell me this isn't about us!
-I spoke to Iris.

What isn't about you?

The abduction on the news,

tell me it has nothing to do
with Operation Judah.

The abduction is Operation Judah.

What?

No...
-I didn't know, either.

Let me get dressed,

wait outside,
I'll explain everything.

Everyone's asleep here.

Nimrode, wait up.
He told us to wait here.

So what?

Just wait.

Haim's coming right down.

I don't care what he has to say,

what does it matter now?

He tricked us.

He said he didn't know.
-I can't believe

this happened because of us.

Let's just hear
what he has to say.

I'm leaving.
Do you want a ride or not?

I don't get it,

are you mad at me?

What did I do?

We're in the same boat...

Why couldn't you just drop it?

What are you...
-Why couldn't you just forget it?

What are you talking about?

I already killed him once,

now I need Ynon
on my conscience?

What did you expect us to do?

Leave Ami there?

Finally Ami wasn't my fault,

it wasn't on my conscience!

Now...

You have to stop
blaming yourself.

It was never your fault.

What do you know?

What do I know?

Did you forget
that I was there too?

You have everything.

You have Nurit, an apartment,
a job.

At a grocery store.
-You work.

You don't wander around all day
like some loser.

I live in someone else's place
for free,

my wife is afraid of me,

my kids look at me
like some kind of weirdo,

I have nightmares every night
and nothing helps.

You have...

I have cancer.

Bone cancer.

I found out a few days ago.

There's Haim.
Don't say a word.

I'll tell you everything later.

First let's hear
what he has to say.

Nimrode, what are you doing?

I don't want her to know.

I don't want anyone to know.

I don't want to be pressured
into having treatment.

I decided not to...

What?

Why not?

I want to be outside.

Remember how we used to...

fantasize about traveling?

We'd picture Hawaii,

Australia,

and Ami would imitate the way
people talk there... -Yeah. Yeah.

I don't want to be locked up
in a hospital.

I don't want to.

I look at my dad

and he...

He's strong,

but he...

I see how sad he is,
growing old alone.

Without my mom.

I don't want Nurit
to go through that.

It didn't have to be this way,

our lives.

I don't know
what we did to deserve it.

But here we are

and now we're free, and I...

It feels good

to make a decision.

We couldn't do that before.

I've made so few decisions
about my life,

now I can finally decide.

Prisoners of War

The serious incident that took place
a few hours ago on the northern border,

near Point 452, a few km
west of Kibbutz Baram.

A tense hush still prevails here,

a lot of questions
remain unanswered.

At this point...

Ilan.

The soldier who was captured,

for some reason
they won't say his name.

On the news.
They don't say his name.

You know people there,
can you ask?

I have a bad feeling.

I have to know...

Thanks, Ilan.

I don't know
who I am anymore.

You know who you are.

A man's deeds
determine who he is,

nothing else.

It won't always be this way.

It gets easier with time.

I miss home.

This is your home.

Let me know.

All right.

But on one condition.

Yusuf.

Not now.
-I want to know what's going on.

Yusuf, I'm scared.

Yusuf.

The organization called earlier,

they said not to use phones

or turn on the lights.

What are you looking for?
-Where did you put Jamal's medication?

What do you need it for?

You worry me, Yusuf.

What's going on?

Aren't we safe here anymore?

Should I go stay with my parents?

I'll explain everything
when I get back.

Don't worry.

Wait here for me
and don't go anywhere. Okay?

Where's Sammy?
-In his room.

Sammy. Sammy!
-What? -Get up.

I'll be back soon
and I'll explain everything.

But for now I want you to
get rid of the workbooks, okay?

Where are you going?

I'll explain later, I promise.
Get up.

Ynoni, I have to go.

No, Daddy, don't go, stay here.

I have to.

I love you, my son,
I love you.

Now it's my turn.

What are you doing?

Is this how we treat our guests?

Sorry, boss, we got bored.
-Sorry, boss.

I'm...

sorry about my friends'
childish behavior.

They get excited.

They don't like you very much.

Although they've never
met an Israeli

their hatred is very strong.

I, on the other hand,

like you very much.

I believe in coexistence.

Water.

You know why

I like you so much?

Because no matter

how much injustice you do,

you always think

you're more ethical
than everyone else.

Do you know who I am?

You kill from afar,
from the sky,

and you think
your hands are clean.

How long do you think
you can hold out without talking?

I'm glad we've met,

we'll have plenty of time

to enjoy each other's company.

My name is...

Abdullah Bin Rashid.

What's your name?

We'll learn to like each other
over the next few days

and you'll open up to me

like a beautiful flower.

You'll see.

There, there,

it's all right.

There, there.

Mom, let me talk to Dad.

What are you doing?

I thought
he was teaching you math.

Take him down
and put him back in his cell

and don't you dare torture him
without my permission.

All right.

I'm going to the bathroom.
Will you manage alone?

Were you afraid to go
with that nutcase here?

Go ahead.

What's that?

It'll give you energy.

It's all right.

What's your name?
-Ynon.

Ynon Meiri.

When I interrogated you,
you signaled me not to show mercy.

So they wouldn't suspect.

Wait here for me.

On second thought...

Come quick.

Are you all right?
-Yes.

Help me hide them.

I'm okay.

How long do we have
until they get there?

The organization demanded
phone silence because of the operation.

They're afraid
they'll be bombed by the IDF.

We have two hours at most.

What's the plan?

To bring you home.

I'm not leaving
without my family.

What are you talking about?

Ismail, Jamal's son,

and Layla, my wife.
I won't leave without her.

Your wife?

She's your cover.

She's my wife
and I won't leave without her.

Any more surprises?

My wife is his daughter.

Qasab's daughter.

Did he say
where he was going?

Layla?

Layla?

Did he say
where he was going?

What is this?

What's going on here?

Leave him alone!

Yusuf. -Leave him alone!
Stop it!

Yusuf!
-Calm down.

Who is this man?

Yusuf!

Is he Jamal's son?

Is he the Israeli soldier?

Does my father know he's here?

Yusuf.

I think you better answer her.

Yusuf, for God's sake...

I have to talk to you.

Now?

A few weeks ago
you came to me at this hour,

now it's my turn.
-What's the matter? Are you okay?

I suddenly realized...

I have to ask you something.

Okay, ask.

When we moved in together
you said it was a trial period,

that if we didn't try,
we'd never know, and now...

I think we've been together
long enough

to know how we feel about it.

Nimrode, I don't know
what you're talking about.

I'm back.

My life is in my own hands now.

They can't tell me
when to eat or sleep

or if I'm happy or sad.

I'm an idiot

because since I came back
I act as if I'm still...

I'm always trying to be
the man I used to be,

the man you all remember.

But he's gone now,
he's dead.

Dead?
What do you mean, dead?

You're right here.

But Nurit, I don't feel...

You don't feel what?

How I imagined it would be,

like...

I feel like...

I'm on the outside.

Like I'm not really here.

It doesn't feel the way
I hoped it would.

But Uri, you just came back.

We're just...

getting to know each other.
-Or what once was,

was, and it's over.

Too much time has passed.

What are you trying to say?

Marry me.

Nimrode, I...

Let's get married again.

I wasn't your husband
for the last 17 years

and I certainly haven't acted
like your husband since I came back.

Let's get married again,
let's start all over.

Not the POW who came back,
not the wife who waited,

just us,

as we are now.

So that's it?

But...

Say something.

It was all one big lie.

From the beginning.

I love you and that's no lie.

I couldn't tell you
because I wanted to protect you...

You were afraid I'd turn you in.
-No.

Layla, you're the only reason
I wake up in the morning.

Despite everything I've been through,
you and Sammy are my family.

What have you done to us, Yusuf?

What have you done to me?

Layla.
-That's why you didn't want children.

I'm so stupid...

I'm not leaving without you.

I won't go
if you don't come with me.

It's too late.

Do you know what they'll do to you
if they catch you now?

You have to go.

You have no choice.

I don't care what they do to me.

I want to spend
the rest of my life with you.

I know it hasn't been easy
to live with me,

but all that will change
in Israel.

We'll be happy there.

We'll live in peace there, huh?

This is no place
to raise children.

You know that.

This place has no future.

But there...
-Stop it!

Do you love me?

You're my husband.

You're not supposed
to do this to me.

You're supposed to...

Come with me, Layla.
Please.

Yusuf, my whole life is here.

My family, my people.

If I go with you,
I can never come back.

Your place is with me,
with your husband.

Yusuf, my love...

Amiel, we have to go. Now.

I'll be right back.

Show me.

Is that from the electric shock?

Among other things.

Here, hold this.

Press.

That won't work,

the wound is too big.

Go boil water
and get me a needle and thread.

Hold his hand.
-What?

You heard me, hold his hand.

You know he has to die,
right?

Her father.

We don't choose
who we fall in love with.

Remember that in case
we get out of here alive.

That's it.

Thank you.

I'll go call Ismail.

Abdullah. It's Abdullah.

The workbooks,
I totally forgot.

I saw the workbooks...
-And you called Abdullah?

I called my father.
I didn't know what...

But I didn't...
I only said that...

I'll tell him it was a nightmare.

I'll deal with this.

Wait.

What'll you do, shoot them all?

There are too many people outside.

I'll deal with him.

Stay here.

Stay here.

Abdullah.

Greetings, my brother.
-Greetings.

Layla's sorry if her father
woke you up,

she had a nightmare.

I didn't come because of her.

Qasab is uneasy.

The soldier won't talk.

He won't even tell us his name.

Tell him not to worry,
he'll talk.

They aren't saying
who the soldier is on TV, either,

they didn't give his name
or anything. Strange.

It's still early.

Maybe they haven't
found his family yet.

Sometimes they wait until...

Besides, what about
the Israeli bombing?

What?

Why aren't they bombing us?

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.

Anyway, he wants us
to interrogate him together.

All right. Tomorrow morning.
-No, no. Now.

Okay, I'll be right there.

He wants as little movement
as possible, just in case... you know.

That's why we're here.

Is there a problem?

A problem? No.

Then let's go.

Come here.

Jabaliya?

Come on!

You know what I wonder?

What made you talk?

When you were a captive
what made you talk?

If anyone can break that soldier,
it's you.

Right?

I don't remember.

That was years ago.

Sure you remember.
It's not something you forget.

What was it?

The electric shock? The beatings?
What?

Loneliness.

I don't know
who I am anymore.

You know who you are.

A man's deeds
determine who he is,

nothing else.

It won't always be this way.

It gets easier with time.

I miss home.

This is your home.

Let me know.

All right.

But on one condition.

Release them.

Release who?

Nimrode and Uri.

I'll do anything you ask.

I'll take your place.

I'll convert to Islam.

I'll take care of Sammy.

On the condition that you do
everything you can

to get them released.

It's the Sheikh's decision
whether to negotiate,

not mine.
-Convince him.

I don't care how long it takes.

And Sammy,

will you make sure
he gets out of here?

That he gets a chance?

That he gets an education
and gets ahead in life?

Promise you'll get him
out of here after I...

Release them.

Sons of bitches.

What?

I told the guards
to leave him alone.

They're bored,
so they beat the prisoner.

Come on.

What's going on here?
-Abdullah.

Welcome, Amiel Ben Horin.

I wondered
how long it would take for you

to show your true face.

Come on, buddy.

I'm going to enjoy this.

Jabaliya.

Go back home.

Be ready to move
as soon as we get there.

Hello.

Please come in.

Welcome to our little party.

Put down the gun.

Now.

It won't be that easy.

Put it down or I'll shoot.

Exactly the opposite, stupid.

You'll put down the gun

because the second you shoot

my finger pulls the trigger.

Shoot.

Go ahead and shoot.

But then your friend dies, too.

Decide.

Shoot already!

Shut up!

Put down the gun.

What are you waiting for?
Shoot.

You...

Shoot, what are you waiting for?

Five...

Four...

Shoot!

Three...

Shoot!

Two...

One.

Smart move.
