Hatufim (2009–2012): Season 2, Episode 3 - Shkarim Ktanim - full transcript

Yusuf has trouble dealing with his past. Abdullah attempts to recruit children to be martyrs. Uri shares the horrors and psychological mind games his captors tortured him with to Nurit.

Allah is great.

Previously on POW

The disk has been compromised.

Zach and Klein heard it,
who knows who else.

Any news?

Believe it or not,
I'm on my way to a meeting.

I want a look at
Amiel Ben Horin's autopsy report.

We released them.

Why don't you leave it alone?

Iris, do you still have that friend
in Intelligence?

Hatzav, she stifled him.



She always had something
to say,

she treated him like a baby.
He got fed up.

You're being disrespectful.

To Abdullah?
-He doesn't trust you as it is.

I don't care.

But his loyalty isn't in doubt.
-And mine is?

After everything I've done?

Mom. Mom, are you okay?

I'm sleeping.
Let me sleep.

I don't know who I am anymore.

A man's deeds determine
who he is,

nothing else.

Maybe you fooled them,
but not me.

You and I are the same.



We both know what it's like
to be in a cage for so many years,

Amiel.

What's your name?

Amiel...

What's your name?

Yusuf.

When we got married you didn't tell me
I wouldn't get a night's sleep again.

You didn't have to get up.

The same nightmare again?

It's not a nightmare.

It's a memory.

You've been through a lot lately.

Jamal died...

The POWs...

I know. I know.

You don't like to talk about it.

You don't like to talk
about anything.

There are too many things
that you don't tell me about.

Now isn't the time
to talk about it.

Why not?

Go to sleep. I'll be right there.

Yusuf.
-Go to sleep.

Prisoners Of War

Anything else, Ismail?
Coffee?

Yes, thanks.

I'll have some too, thanks.

What did you do to upset her?
-Me?

I was about to ask you
the same thing.

Why did you upset her?
-Me?

Why's it my fault?
You upset her and I pay the price.

How will we know
if it's me or you?

One of you will have salt
instead of sugar in your coffee.

Take the coffee upstairs.
Start studying. I'll be right there.

About last night,

all I meant was that I want you
to share with me more.

There's nothing to share.

Tell me what you were
thinking about,

who...

someone from the past?

From Israel?

It's okay if...
-I told you,

I have no memories of the past.

I was born 12 years ago.

Before that I was nothing.

Aren't you hungry?

People have to eat to survive.

I think I disprove that.

Okay, here's a compromise.
You...

I'll make breakfast

and you'll get the newspaper
and we'll meet in bed and eat in bed.

Excellent idea.

We'll meet here in five minutes.
-In five minutes.

Mom, are you...

It stinks in here.

Listen, this shit has to stop.

You can't just lie here all day,

Hatzav wants to eat!

Come on, Mom, get up.

I have to go to the base.

I think I'll sleep over at Ehud's.

Read today's paper,
it'll cheer you up.

Assholes.

They forget that I have
a son who can read

who's in a class with bad kids
who can read, too.

Ignore it. It's crap.

The good news is, you may not
have a lot of experience in bed,

but according to this article

you live with the biggest whore
in the country, so...

you'll learn fast.

We have each other,
that's all we need.

Nurit, I have to tell you something.

Amiel is alive.

Ami. He's alive.

What's this?

How should I know?
Mom must have made it.

Mom made it.

Of course.
-Shut up and eat.

Why don't we call

and tell him what's happening?

He has enough on his mind.

Eat, it's yummy.

Add some ketchup.

Iris.

Sharon.

How's it going?

Since when do you come here?

Sometimes, when I feel like
a change.

Do you come here often?
-Every day.

It shows.

If I knew,
I'd come more often.

Roni, this is Iris.

She was the best in our training group.

The only girl in the class.

Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

Long time no see.
How funny.

How's life?

Good, all in all...

And how's... what was his name?

Even I don't remember anymore...

Sorry to hear it.

All right...

See you later. Sometime.

Take care.

Iris.

How are you, Mom?
-Thank God.

I brought fruit for tonight.

What should I begin with?

It doesn't matter.

I've been hearing

people talk. Everywhere I go.

What kind of talk?

About Yusuf.

Gossip.

About his loyalty.

Don't believe everything you hear.

Abdullah and Yusuf are
in competition. It's just talk.

It's never "just" talk.

Dad will never choose Abdullah,

especially after what
Yusuf did for him.

What is it?

A child could have helped.

Not that again, Mom.

What does that have to do with it?

It's no good like this.

A man without children
has no home.

He can get up
and go whenever he wants.

Nothing ties him down.

You see?

He isn't here
because he's tied down.

What kind of man doesn't
want children? -Stop it, Mom!

Layla, it isn't normal.

It's me.
-What?

It's me.

I went to the doctor.

Yusuf wants kids
more than anything,

but I...

there's something wrong with me.

Yusuf really wants to have kids.

I'm sorry, honey.

I'm so sorry.

How's military Intel?

Interesting.
It's a big responsibility.

I'm sure.

It's a job...

We all dreamed of a job like that.

Why don't you get to the point?

What do you mean?

I've been asking you out
for coffee for years

and you never said yes.

Maybe I changed my mind.

Did you change your mind?

No.

What do you need?

"The Children of Jihad"

What can you tell me about them?

What do you need to know?

Whatever you can tell me.

Why do you need to know?

I'm thinking of joining them.

It's between us, Sharon.
It won't come back to haunt you.

It was founded in the late '80s
by Sheikh Mahmoud Hussein Al-Qasab.

Until the attack in Metulla in '90
no one had heard of them.

Then Klein, Zach
and Ben Horin were kidnapped.

Qasab is a genius and a fanatic.

He's patient, he's paranoid.

He's always testing
his people's loyalty.

The agency never managed
to get anyone into the organization.

There was a failed attempt
early on.

The agent got caught.

Qasab skinned him and threw him
on our side of the border.

The agent's operator was fired

because he sent him in
without permission.

Want to guess what
the operator's name was?

Atar Shorrer.

The reasons for his dismissal
were never divulged,

but the organization had become
an obsession of his.

So they gave him an
office in the basement

so he wouldn't bother
his replacement.

And he remained in charge
of POWs and MIAs.

What else? -Recently there's been
a big shakeup in the organization.

There's someone there,
at the top.

No one knows what he looks like.

There are stories about him
in the Syrian villages in the Golan,

he's a demon, a legend.

So far there's only
one picture of him.

We have to get our hands
on that picture.

I told you he likes me.

We have to show this
to Uri and Nimrode,

I'll bet it's that guy Jamal
who interrogated them.

What?

The picture is from two weeks ago.

Military Intel assumes that
Jamal died a few months ago.

This is his successor.

You don't think...

We know he's alive.

We just don't know
if he's on our side.

Oh, no...

A few days ago you asked
what we did there the whole time

without books or...

We weren't the only ones
who were bored.

They were, too.

And soon enough...

the games began.

Sometimes they were just
fooling around, but...

most of the time it was...

more creative.

Are you sure
you want to hear this?

One day they came
and told us...

it was over.

That an agreement was signed and...

we were going home the next day.

They hugged us and...

celebrated with us.

We couldn't sleep all night,
we were so excited.

And Ami kept his fingers crossed
all night.

He was so...

excited.

We often thought of what
we'd do if we were released,

but not that night.

It was so real.
We just sat and held each other.

We counted the seconds.

Relax, we're going home.

And then they...

Let's go.

Then they put us in a car and...

drove us around the facility
for five minutes.

The best five minutes of our lives.

And then...

But... but you promised.

You said...

No, please, stop it!

No! You said!

Please, no!

But you said! No!

No!

We'll never get out of here alive.

Yusuf.
-What?

We're here.

I'll go get him.

Good morning.

Third row, second from the right.

Who, the boy?

The trick is to find the ones
who come every day,

the ones who do all the prayers,

even Al-Fajr (the morning prayer).

How many kids do you know
who wake up early to thank Allah?

He gets up every morning,

washes himself,
purifies himself,

no matter how cold it is outside.

Look at him.

See how pure he is.

He wants to serve so badly.

He's a boy, he's too young.

Oh, right,

I was told
you're against recruiting.

There are other ways
to attain our goal

without killing our people.

Our people?

I didn't approve any recruiting.

Let's go, they're waiting.

Hello.

Hi.

It's nice here in the doorway,
but...

Is Uri home?

Sorry. Uri...

I have to talk to you.

May I?

Come in.

No, not here.

In private.

I don't keep secrets from Nurit.

But I do.

It isn't him.

Are you sure?

It can't be him.

Can you guess who it is?
Does he look familiar?

Are they sure Jamal is dead?

That's their assumption.

I thought you'd be glad.

Have you told Nimrode?

Not yet, I...
-I'll tell him.

Did you really tell Nurit everything?
About Amiel? -Yes.

I don't think
that was a good idea.

I don't keep anything from her.

I'm sure you find that
hard to understand.

You're still mad at me.

I trusted you.
-I know.

My job was to make you
trust me.

Then you're good at your job.

Iris.

Did you come all this way
to tell me that Jamal is dead?

I wanted to show you the...

I wanted to see you.

I'm sorry about what happened
between us.

I'm sorry I lied to you.

I hurt you and I'm sorry.

But the lies were...

As soon as I realized

that what I felt for you
was real...

That's the problem

with this job.

The feelings are real.

Even if some things
that are said aren't.

Iris...

Talia.

I have to talk to you.

Sure, come in.

Come in.

Are you happier here
than at home?

Living like a 15-year-old?

It's only till the weekend.

Then I'm moving out.

Oren's helping me find
an apartment.

His kids are coming back
this week

He needs the room. -Where are you
moving to? -I don't know.

We haven't found anything
I like yet.

Nimrode, will you stop this?
-Talia...

Give me a minute. I'm...

I'm here because...

I had a chance
to think things over and...

I can change.

I promise I won't...

I realize what I did wrong, and...

I'm willing to...
-Talia, don't.

It's not you.
-Just try.

I promise
you'll be much happier.

I won't bother you.

You can even sleep in
the guest bedroom at first.

I don't think that's a good idea.
-What's the difference?

You'll have your own room,
but in our house,

I can take care of you,

cook for you if you're hungry.

Or not, if you're not.

Trust me.

You'll be much happier.

And you and I can...

try to start over again.

And fix... things.

And the kids...

they'll be so happy.

They miss you.

You'll come home and...

I'll make us breakfast
and we'll calm down.

I'll wash these clothes,

they're kind of smelly.
-Talia, don't.

I won't be in your way.
You'll have all the freedom you want.

Nimrode.

Please.

Don't make me beg.

Give me one more chance.

But it's not about you.

Right now I need...

to find myself,

to figure out who I am.
It has nothing to do...

Stop saying that.

How can it have nothing
to do with me?

I'm your wife. Of course
it has to do with me.

I made a mistake, I know...

I stifled you.

I was just trying to help, but...

it was a hard time for me, too.

I know.

Talia, go home.

The minute I'm ready...

I don't deserve this.

Not after everything
I did for you.

You can't treat me this way.

Do you know what I did for you
all those years?

It's the least you can do for me.

What's your name?

What's your name?

Hey, Eddie.

Haim, if they catch me,
they'll kill me.

Then make sure they don't
catch you.

Who's he?

Ido, my boyfriend.

You've met him twenty times.

Intelligence Officer,
he helped us at the facility.

It's locked.

What now, MacGyver?

Stay here and look out.

Hurry.

Did you show Uri the photo?

He doesn't think it's Amiel.

He's naive.

I know it's our job,

manipulating, exploiting,

lying to people
to get information...

Doesn't it ever bother you?

It isn't our job,
it's your job.

Hurry.

Iris showed me a photo today...

A blurry photo of...

the man they think
replaced Jamal.

She asked if I recognized him.

And? Did you?

It can't be him.

We know him.

He isn't like that.

What's going on?
-I don't know.

What's going on?

Stay here.
-Yusuf. Yusuf!

Is something wrong?

Qasab wants you to come with us.

They caught an Israeli collaborator.

When?
-A little while ago.

I'll be right there.
-I'm waiting.

What's going on?

Tonight our brave soldiers
caught a collaborator

revealing secrets
to the Zionist enemy.

He was seen talking to soldiers
near Ayoun.

He admitted that he told them

where we're located
and what we have.

Why did he do it?
-He has a deal with the enemy.

He smuggles cigarettes.

What's this?

I'm giving you the honor
of killing the bastard.

I think he's learned his lesson.

He peed his pants.

You know what I think about
killing our own people.

Do you think people should be punished
for collaborating with the Israelis?

The Koran says...
-I know what the Koran says.

We must eradicate this plague.

Do it for your people,

for your family,

for all of us,

for Allah.

Kill him. He's the enemy.

Next on POW

Good night, Lalie.

Now's the time.
As soon as possible.

The Zionist pigs are still celebrating
the POW exchange.

We know he's alive.

He may even...

have crossed over,
if it's really him in the photo.

I don't know anything about you.

I don't know about your parents,

your sister,

where you're from...

If in order to survive
you had to commit treason,

would you do it?

This is the time
to break their spirit

and show them we can attack them
anywhere and at any time.

What kind of attack?

Something big.

An embassy, an infiltration...
