Kipat Barzel (2017–2018): Season 1, Episode 9 - Sound Off - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY
- I'm Sefi, I work for the Jewish Dept.

of the General Secret Service (GSS).

- Who do I need to rat out?

- Get me the info I need, or I'll have you kicked out.

"I have something for you."

- Soldier!
Hands up!

- He was caught trying to return the grenades.

- Moshe ratted us out to Alexei.

- I didn't do it, Amram.
- So it was you. You got me arrested.

- Gur Ariye, did you rat Amram out?

- Let's give him back the goods.
- No fuckin' way I'm giving up now!



- Leave Avigdor to me, I'll handle it.

- Now it's all over. Just promise me you'll leave Shimi alone.

- You took Avigdor's word for it?! I'm telling you they got to me

and he demands compensation. He's sending someone over with a package.

- Forget it, Shimi.

TONIGHT AT 3:00 AM YOU COLLECT THE PACKAGE OR SHE GETS IT!

- What's in your hand, Gur Ariye? - Gasoline.

- What was your plan? To kill me?

- You did things that a rabbi must never do!

- Give me the gasoline, it's dangerous.

I want you to know that I love you.

My child.

- He's hiding gasoline for an arson attack he's planning in Fawwar.

It's in the brown closet in his bureau.



- I know it must've been tough to inform on your rabbi.

- Stop or I shoot!

Stop or I shoot!

- Calm down!

- You okay? - Yes.

Calm down!

- I found it.

- I'm keeping it, and you're keeping shut.

- You're ruining everything our Haredi combat platoon stands for!

- I'm being blackmailed!

- Smuggling drugs in a kitbag?!

If anyone finds out...
- Nobody will find out!

- You're my friend and I love you but my back is against a wall here.

- I found this while going to take a pee on my shift.

- Rabbi Menashe claims that he's being framed.

- I used to teach my dear student Gur Ariye.

- What's wrong?
- You don't want to know.

- Would you like some water?

- Yes.

- Let's start by going to the infirmary and issuing you some sick days.

You'll get some rest. - I'm not sick.

Blessed are You, Lord our God... by Whose word all came to be."

- Amen.

Look, I just want you to know that I'm here for you.

- I'll do everything

to help you feel safer

so that your wound can heal.

Anything.

Help me help you. You want to be relocated to a farther basecamp?

- No, no.

I'm happy here,

I have friends here...

It's just that I can't keep it

all inside anymore, I have to let it out.

- Look, you've been through a terrible ordeal,

I believe every word you said, have no doubt about that,

but I'm not sure that bringing everything up again will solve anything.

Look how hard it was for you to tell me about it.

You'd have to answer many questions, to recount everything.

- I will.

I have nothing to hide, I'll tell them everything.

- They'll want to know exactly what you did to him,

what he did to you, why you let it happen.

Look,

you must not forget, this is Rabbi Menashe we're talking about,

a very powerful man, a man of many merits.

- I'm not sure...

The best thing to do

is what's right for you.

Sometimes it isn't best to keep picking at an old wound.

Sometimes in life you must move on.

Sometimes during war, when people get hit by shrapnel or a bullet,

the doctors refuse to operate, to avoid risk.

And these people live for decades

with shrapnel inside their body.

They get married, have children and grandchildren, bless them,

and have long forgotten about that shrapnel inside them.

Give it some thought.

Perhaps you can put it past you.

any case, go to the infirmary.

Okay?

- Get up, you idiot, you rat!

- Moshe, get the hell up! - Sir, I have to wash up.

Alright, go wesh your face.

Keep moving, everyone!

- Are You alright

- Yeah, just forget it.

- It was me.

- What?

- I ratted him out.
I told them about the grenades.

I'm sorry.

- It was you?

And yet you said nothing.

You let everyone abuse me.

You were the only one who was nice to me around here.

- Quit stalling, you two!

Gur Ariye, let's go, we waited for you.

Catch your breath and form a half-circle.

- Sergeant,

the Rabbi sent me to the infirmary.

- Dismissed.

- To receive the Sergeant, Platoon 1 will stand at attention.

- Attention!

- Okay, Platoon 1, check your watches.

You have 35 minutes for breakfast.

- I've also got your mai

Whoever received mail, pays for it in pushups.

Well well...

Ephraim.

- Gur Ariye was the rat. I told you it wasn't me.

Gur Ariye was the rat.

I told you it wasn't me.

COMMANDMENTS

- What are you doing here, Gur Ariye?

- I don't feel well.

- What is it?

- He's... a bit sick.

- Has he seen a doctor?
- The doctor is on his way.

- You just hand out sick days to slackers?

- No, he wasn't feeling we

Gur Ariye, get up.
Get back to the Platoon.

Hurry up.

- Ephraim, receive the Platoon Commander.

- To receive the Sergeant, Platoon 1 will stand at attention

- Attention!

- Join the half-circle.

Quickly.

Platoon 1, we're going to patrol the area

to show some military presence. We go in and out.

It'll be your chance to prove that you're not a bunch of children,

that you're a platoon of combat soldiers.

Remember, we're in hostile territory,

this isn't base camp.

Just a year ago there was a terrorist attack here.

Any exposure will escalate to Molotov cocktails, rocks and more.

I ask each of you to be outstanding soldiers.

Remember everything we've practiced.

You each watch over yourselves

and your friends. - Is it true?

'Sit true.Gur Ariye?

- Quiet, Amram!

Gur Ariye, you have three minutes to prep up

with a helmet on, full canteen and a loaded magazine.

Move!

- Get a load of that rat...

- Informer...

- Sergeant, over here!

- They threw me in jail because of you, you bastard!

Tonight I'm gonna finish you.

- Roll call

Number 7 isn't here, sir.

- Where is he? - We lost him.

- What do you mean, lost him? Who's number 7?

- Gur Ariye.

- Put your helmet on, now! - Okay.

- Where's Gur Ariye?
-1 don't know.

- Weren't you right behind him? - No, he was behind me.

- A soldier disappears inside enemy territory and you don't notice?

- Maybe he stopped to pee.

- We're combing the area.

- Go away

- Four hours later -

- This tourniquet is a piece of crap.

You're losing blood, we must get you outta here.

- Is that how I taught you to tie a tourniquet?

- Gur Ariye.

- Evacuate him.

- You're right, we have to evacuate him.

Yaacov, come here.

- I'm staying put.
-Sir...

- I'm not leaving until we're all outta here, is that clear?

- But look at you.

- Gur Ariye, what's come over you?

- Drop your weapon, that's an order! - You drop your weapons.

said, drop your weapon

- Gur Ariye...
- Drop your weapons!

Put them here.

- You're getting in deeper trouble.

- Put them here!

Just go away!

- What's with you?

All this over what happened with us? Have you lost your mind?

- What are you talking about?

- They had a fight.
- No hard feelings, we're friends.

- Just leave..

- But they'll shoot you! - Amram, shut up!

- Yes, Rabbi, care to chime in?

- Gur Ariye, talk to us, tell us what's going on.

We're here for you, everything's alright. - It's too late.

- Is this because of the mosque guard?

Incidents happen, it's part of being a soldier.

- Gur Ariye, listen carefully.

You're in trouble, okay?

You must get a grip right now.

If not for yourself...

then do it for your friends. For your platoon.

For your parents waiting at home.

If you die out here, it solves nothing,

they'll just end up taking all the heat for you.

So let's put our minds together and think...

how we get outta here...

as fighters.

- Prepare for entry.
Show me the coordinates.

- I want to have another word with him.
- I want the sniper in position!

- Let me talk to him first!
- You already did that. What now?

- I think I can convince him, we're close.

I won't forgive myself unless I've done everything I could.

- It's not my problem if you forgive yourself or not.

- You won't forgive yourself either.
. - It looks like we have another casualty.

Why can't we just mace him? He's not Rambo, he's a new recruit.

- It's better to resolve this

without further risk!
- I have no time for this!

The guy killed a Palestinian, wounded an officer and is there with two captives,

so with all due respect, let us handle it! - He's in a very unstable emotional state.

Let me talk to him, we're close.

Don't be hasty, we can talk this through.

- Go give it a shot. You have three minutes.

We're staying on course.

- What are you doing, Amram?

- Checking your pulse.

Looks like the tourniquet is working.

- What's with him?

- "We have strayed
from Thy commandments and laws...

- He's been like that for 30 minutes now. Drink up.

- "We have sinned and deviated...

"We have strayed
from Thy commandments and laws...

"We have accused, betrayed, sinned, Father..."

- Hey, calm down, it's me, Gur Ariye!

Listen, what you did

is explainable, for sure, right?

They say that army friends are friends for life.

We'll have a good laugh over this when we're 50.

This won't haunt you your entire life. Nothing is forever.

- Yaacov, some things are forever.

- Is this about your girlfriend? Yifa?

You'll find someone else for sure, I know you.

- No, Yaacov, it's not about her.

Forget it, you don't know me.

You don't know anything about me.

- Try me. I'm listening.

- Gur Ariye!

Gur Ariye' “’s Rabbi Eliyahu.

- I'm begging you to come outside, we want to help you.

- I'm sorry, I was wrong earlier.

I'm asking you to come out.

You can't just leave things the way they are.

- I'll fight with you.

You and I together will make sure that justice will be served.

Please, come out.

- He asks that you get Rabbi Menashe, now!

- Who's Rabbi Menashe? Where is he? - Here, at a seminar close by.

Wait, I'm not sure...

- Didn't you want to end this with no further bloodshed?

- I'm not sure it's a good idea. - What's the problem?

- They have an issue...

- I see.

We'll get him over here anyway, but we won't let him inside.

Perhaps Gur Ariye will come outside.

- Damn it, he's freezing.

- What are you doing?

- He's freezing.

Give him water.

- Drink.

- Rabbi Menashe, we've been waiting for you.

- What's going on here? is Gur Ariye alright?

- "Alright"
isn't the right choice of words.

- Look, I'm going to get that kid out of there in one piece

by guaranteeing me that you'll leave him alone

after all this fiasco you've put him through.

- Look, I don't know what you're talking about,

but I don't intend on letting you inside. I'll give you a megaphone

and you'll be shown how far you can advance.

- I have to talk to him face to face. - Ain't gonna happen.

- I can't authorize that.

Put this on.
- Don't need it.

- Put it on anyway.

- You can dismiss your troops. God willing, this will all end well.

- Shield Commander, a civilian is headed your way.

Don't let him through. And put a flack jacket on him.

- Where's the megaphone?

- Lunatic...

- Oded, have you got the megaphone?

Stay put.

- Stop!

- Gur Ariye!
- Puma from Shield..

- It's Yisrael Menashe...

- A civilian is entering the mosque, what do I do?

- I'm here alone, like you asked.

Let me in!

- Back

- Gur Ariye, what's with you? - Back off!

- Alright, I'm backing off.

I'm Yisrael Menashe, Gur Ariye's rabbi.

Is he alright? He needs a medic... - Don't talk to them.

- Alright.

I'm talking to you, Gur Ariye, you asked me to come here, right?

The officer outside guaranteed me

that if we all leave here unharmed, they'll let you off the hook

and you could go home, God willing.

- You don't talk now, I talk.

- I just want to hear you out, Gur Ariye.

- Ask me why he's here.

- I understand that you...

- Don't talk!

Don't sweet-talk me!

You know damn well why you're here, don't you?!

- Can I talk now? - Shut up!

- I'll tell them.

He prepped me for my Bar Mitzva Torah portion.

I studied with him 2-3 times a week.

He told me I was special.

That he loved me.

- What are you talking about, Gur Ariye?

The pressure of basic training has gotten to you.

- You're not gonna make me into a nutcase.

- You molested him, you piece of shit?

- Excuse me, what's your name?

- What?

- What's your name?

- Amram.

- Amram,

have you heard both sides before you judge?

Remember how
Rabbi Yochanan described someone

who sways a judge before the other gives his side?

- Evil.

- Evil.

Right you are...

- Yaacov.

- Well done, Yaacov.

- Tell them what you did.
- Tell them what exactly?

Tell them what exactly, Gur Ariye? That I was your teacher?

That I nurtured you and cared for you?

That I willingly entered a fighting zone,

with live ammo

surrounded by soldiers who await my signal to take you down?

I personally vouched for you out there, Gur Ariye,

and I don't regret it for a second.

- You're such a coward.

You're scared.
- Of course I am, Gur Ariye,

I'm scared you'll harm yourself. Look at you.

You've shot your commander, tried to burn down my bureau,

you killed a man...

It's not your fault, Gur Ariye.

- I'll help you.

- I don't need your help.

- He says you molested him.

- I'm a married man with seven children

and five grandchildren.

Perhaps...

sometimes, our memory plays tricks on us,

perhaps you imagined things because you wanted it...

- I wanted it?!

You guys actually believe him...

- Let's get this over with.

- I told you to back off!

- Shoot me.
- Back off!

- Shoot me. - Back off!

- Gur Ariye, put down the rifle!
- Shoot me. What are you waiting for?

Do it.

Gur Ariye...

Gur Ariye, let's go talk somewhere in private

and figure out how we end this day

before it ends in tragedy

for yourself and your friends,

We'll be able to talk openly.

Let's go inside that room and talk.

Don't be scared.

You've got a rifle.

- Go.

- What are you doing?
- What do you think I'm doing?

You actually trust him?
- I don't know, it's between them.

- And everyone outside, Yaacov.

Damn it, I can't hear a thing.

- Now tell me what you did. - Which is?

Even your friends don't believe you.
- I don't care who believes me,

care only about the truth and about the Almighty.

- You don't have to sell your rabbi on the Almighty.

- Just say the truth already!

- Which is?

- That you're a pervert.

And that you destroyed me.

- I'm a pervert and I destroyed you.

- Say it like you mean it!

- Why are you doing this to yourself?

You're like a son to me.
- Enough with that "like son to me" crap.

- But you really are like one of my children.

Even more special than them. - Don't try to fool me.

I'll shoot you.

- What are you doing?

Answer me!

- Shut up, you rat.

- Talking like a thug again.

Help me out here. Grab that side.

Push it.

- You're right, Gur Ariye.

I'm sorry, I... I hurt you.

Are you pleased?

Got your answer?

- Why?

Why did you do it?

Why did you say you love me

and then abandon me?

- Why me?

You started it.

You told me you love me.

- I was a kid.

I was 12.
- You used to brag to your friends

about your friendship with the Rabbi,

you asked to keep having lessons.

- Because I...
I didn't understand,

I was 12,

I thought it was okay, I didn't...

- Stop saying "I was a kid, you were Bar Mitzvah!

A man, in all senses.

- No.

- You seduced me, Gur Ariye.

You tricked me.

- Why?

- Because you're a damaged soul, that's why.

You lack benevolence.

But I'll help you

because I love you

and I forgive you.

I'll always love you.

Now, put the rifle aside and let's get out of here.

Tomorrow morning we'll start thinking how to mend your ways.

- Shield Commander, enter immediately!

- Gur Ariye!

HOW'S ELISHEVA? SHE'S WAITING
FOR YOU IN HER CAR

- Amram?
Where are you?

I was just gonna call you...

- Hey, bro.
-Where are you?

- What is it? You woke me up. - Shimi,

Avigdor was at my base, he's gonna kill her!

- Kill who? What are you talking about? - Get him off my back, Shimi,

I can't take it anymore!
I can't...

How do I get outta this mess?

- Don't worry, I'll talk to him, we'll find a solution.

He'll give you another chance.

- I just...
