Our Boys (2019): Season 1, Episode 7 - Chapter 7: Judging by its End - full transcript

We're talking about
our cousin's wedding party.

He got married this week.

We played music at his wedding party.

The... camera turns
every few minutes.

This is the funeral of the three boys.

This is Yosef Haim
starting with all the talk.

He said that no one has the guts
to do the right thing,

that it's sacrilege,

that something has to be done,

revenge.

Here Yinon is saying
that he's had enough,



that he didn't sleep all night
because of him.

Something like that.

I didn't know what they meant.

They spoke in code,
so that I...

I realized
they're hiding something from me.

And Yosef Haim wanted to tell me

but Yinon kept telling him
not to tell me.

I insisted,

so they told me
what they did the night before,

that they tried to kidnap someone...

and that if I came with them...

it would be possible,

because it would be
the three of us...

and that's how we could do it.



Do what?

Do what, Avishai?

Yosef Haim said, "In human life."
-"In human life?"

Yes.

So at this point you realize
you're going to hurt someone?

"In human life" means not...
not just damaging property.

Damaging property won't teach them
a lesson and...

if the Arabs targeted a human life,
then we must do the same.

Yosef Haim said that if we do something..
-Avishai.

What was the plan?

To kidnap.

To kidnap and...?

... don't remember exactly,

I mean, if he died,
then "in human life" must mean...

must mean to kill.

But I'm not... I'm not sure.

And what did you say?

What did you say to Yosef Haim?

I don't remember, I...

At first I...

I was offended that
they didn't tell me to go with them

the night before.

I didn't think
about what they did,

only that they went without me.

You seem pretty enthusiastic here.

No, I was just...

I showed Yinon some move.

I saw some guys practicing
that kick in the park.

But it looks like it's you who
are practicing something here.

No,

we didn't practice anything.

I was just on a high.

It felt like
we were in a movie.

As if we're going to save...
I don't know what.

Come. Let's continue.

Death to Arabs! Death to Arabs!
Death to Arabs! Death to Arabs!

Burn their village
Burn their village

Get a move on, man.

Alright.
What's the big deal?

I told you,
everyone's into it.

This is insane.

Oh, man, look at that!

Look, look, look.

God damn.

They caught an Arab!

Look at that.

Right in front of the cops.

Why aren't they arresting them?

You think the cops
aren't pissed at the Arabs?

Even the leftists know
there's no choice,

they have to learn their lesson.
I'm telling you, Avishai,

whoever takes action today,

will be heralded as heroes, big time.

They'll kiss their hands.

The people of Israel live!

The people of Israel live!

The people of Israel live!

The people of Israel live!

I bet Yinon will go to sleep.

He's beat.
And he has a test to study for.

I bet he'll bail.

He won't, he just went home
so his dad will see him.

You'll see,
Yinon is more psyched than both of us.

Get out, go to the trunk,

get the crowbar
and put it in the Honda.

Put the baby seat
in the Smart, okay?

"May the angel who has redeemed me,

"the angel who has redeemed me from all evil,

"bless the boys...

"Abraham and Isaac..."

What's all this for?

The Honda started heating up.

Fill them with water, Avishai.

Honey, you forgot to check
the oil and water.

Do it whenever
you go to a gas station.

I don't want to get stuck.

Why so many bottles?

You're going to fill them with gasoline?

Don't ask,
my other car got stuck.

The Smart? -Yes.

All this for the Smart?

The motorcycle, too.

Might as well.

I'm not allowed to do this.

Mowafaq, do me a favor.

Help him.

What was the gasoline for?

Avishai.

Avishai?

What was the gasoline for?

Did you ask Yosef Haim?

We said
if we can't find someone, then...

we'll burn Arab property.

I think.

Or both, I'm not sure.

But the gasoline was for
setting a car on fire.

Maybe a store.

Show me where you put the bottles.

And the crowbar?

Avishai?

You said you took the crowbar
from the Smart.

Oh.

Yes, it was...

The crowbar was for...

I don't know...

I don't know if I thought

we'd only beat
someone up with it or...

But that's only if
you are "judging by its end."

Tell the camera what
"judging by its end" means?

In the end
we used it to kill,

but we didn't bring it to kill.

If you judge it by its end

then what matters
is what happened in the end.

Avishai, focus on that moment.

When you put the crowbar
in the car.

When you filled the bottles
with gasoline,

what were you thinking?

What was it for?

The gasoline was to set a car on fire.

Maybe a store.

And the crowbar was...
to beat someone up.

I think.

To beat someone up
and what else?

Where did you go from here?

To the parking lot.

Ask him where he is.
-We're in the parking lot.

I'm here too.

Ask him what level.

What level are you on?

Minus two.

He says he's on minus two.

But I'm on minus two.

Ask him what color the walls are.
-What color are the walls?

Blue.

Blue. -Blue?

Oh, I see you.
-There you are!

Okay, I'll turn around.
-We're turning around.

Okay, bye.

What's

I was about to go home.
Where were you?

All kinds of obstacles, don't ask.

Obstacles? I've been waiting
for an hour and a half.

Obstacles are God's way
of testing if we're serious.

Now move.

I want to park.

Look,

fold it like this
so it won't be wrinkled tomorrow.

If I don't put anything on it,
it won't get wrinkled.

Did you bring those zip ties I asked for?
-Yes, here.

And take off your glasses,
I brought contacts.

Why?

Look. That Arab woman
broke them on my face yesterday.

What a cow,
she almost ate Yinon.

Why didn't you call me last night?

So we called you today, big deal.

Look at me.

You're handsome without glasses.

Ever notice that Arabs
don't like glasses?

'Cause they don't read or study.

That's why they have good eyes.

That's why your eyes are perfect too.

I don't read?
I don't study?

Hey, I'm talking to you.

Are you comparing me
to an Arab?

Yinon, you may be
a hotshot at yeshiva,

but you talk like an asshole.

Cool it.

Take off your skullcaps.

No skullcap?

You wanna keep it on?!

It's permitted,
it's a matter of life and death.

You hear that? You have a
Rabbi here to rule it's permitted.

Get in the car.

"This is the time for love...

"Come unto my garden.

"The grapevine is blooming,

"The pomegranates budding,

"This is the time for love..."

I'm Eran Elyakim
with What's Happening Now.

The murder of Gilad, Naftali and Eyal
set Jerusalem on fire.

Hundreds of right-wing activists protested,

demanding that the Arabs
be treated with a firm hand.

The defense cabinet will convene tonight

to discuss Operation Brother's Keeper.
-Look at all those lights.

At the start of the meeting,
Prime Minister Netanyahu said,

we will expand the campaign against
Hamas infrastructures in Gaza

as much as necessary.

Okay.

Let's get serious.
There are tons of cops here.

Remember why we're here.

We have to go further

Look at her,
baking a little terrorist.

"Judging by its end."
-Exactly.

What?

Talmud.

Sanhedrin tractate.

Page 71,
Rabbi Yossi the Galilean.

Rabbi Yossi?

The unruly and rebellious son.

Torah law says: Kill him
while he's still a little boy.

'Cause they know what he'll become
when he grows up.

Good one, I like that.

No way.
-What?

A woman.

They scream
like you wouldn't believe.

By the time you get them under control,
you're a goner.

So a kid, then?

Yes. Judging by its end, right?
-Yeah. -A kid like that.

Could be he's already a terrorist.

Him?

He's tiny.
-A tiny terrorist.

We need someone just a bit
smaller than Avishai.

Like that one.

There are too many people here.

We need a place
where there's quick access out.

Yinon, are you familiar
with this place?

We shouldn't do it here.
-Why not?

It's too crowded.

Everyone is outside now.

Yinon, stop stressing me out.

Stop telling me what to do.

Don't give me orders.

Let's go back
to Damascus Gate

and then to Wadi Joz.

Close the window!

What's with you?

Stay focused

Yosef Haim...

I told you it's dangerous...

We can't...
-Look, look.

Did he try to spit at me?

Whoa, what thugs.

Thugs? They're terrorists.
They're all terrorists.

Yosef Haim,
how about we go home?

They're celebrating
and handing out candies?

Put on some music.

Find something in Arabic.

Isn't that..

"I will give you thanks"

"You'll be my salvation..."
-That's right!

Those Arabs took our melody
and made it into their song!

The nerve.

Maybe we took it from them?

Are you nuts?

They sing it
at Rabbi Ovadia's synagogue.

You think the rabbi would listen
to a Gentile woman sing?

Look over there.

Turn the radio off.

Turn it off.

Hey.

How do I get
to the Wailing Wall?

"The Wailing Wall?"

The Wailing Wall.

Oh, "Hayat al-Mabka."

What's "Hayat al-Mabka?"

It's a wall,
where you cry.

Are they for real?
The Wall isn't here.

What are you doing here?

Hey, where did you learn Hebrew so well?

I work with Jews all the time.

You work with Jews?
-Yes.

Doing what?

Supermarket deliveries,
all over Jerusalem.

Who do you deliver to?

The Orthodox, Mea Shearim.

"Zein gezunt." (Yiddish: Be well)
-"Zein gezunt?" -"Zein gezunt."

"Zein gezunt."
-"Zein gezunt. Gut Shabbes..."

"Gut Shabbes."

But a tip - "Gurnisht." (Yiddish: Nothing)

No tip, huh? Cheapskates.

Want a tip from me?

Who wants a cigarette?

Come take a cigarette.

You, come get a cigarette.

Here..

Here.

Get out.

Avishai, light it for him.

Kid,

come here.

How old are you?

15.

You're 15?

You sure?

I don't believe you.

I'm telling you, I smoke.

Come here, I'll light it for you.
I don't believe you.

Don't be scared.

Come on.

Come on, push him in.

Come on.

You're not serious.

You really let me down.

What did we come here for?

I just wasted
half a pack of cigarettes.

Why didn't you shove him in?

It was all going
according to plan.

You stood there like an idiot.

What's with you?

I'll do it next time,
I promise.

I'm sorry.

Keep your eyes open.

Now we're gonna get someone.

There's a little boy.

There are two of them.

You wanna get into a fight?

Check out this one.
He's alone.

Get out now,

I'll wait here.
Got it?

Move it!

What the fuck?

At least last night
you tackled the guy.

If you don't have the guts,
I'll do it myself.

Too bad.

Someone has to drive,

to hit the gas
when you get him in the car.

I was ready to do it,

but when Avishai just walked by him
I thought something happened, so I didn't.

You smiled at him,
I didn't understand.

I felt sorry for the guy.

You felt sorry
or you were scared?

That too.
-As long as you didn't feel sorry for him.

It's hard,
you don't know how he'll react.

They're all terrorists.

They're trained to kill Jews from birth.

Feeling sorry for them
means you're weak.

But if you're scared, Avishai,
that's something else.

You have to get over it.

Wake up

Avishai, wake up!

Yinon, wake up.

Yosef Haim, I'm beat, let me sleep.

No way.

Avishai, dont go back to sleep.

Get up.
-No, Yosef Haim.

haven't slept in two days.
-Oh yeah?

You think we're going home now?

You know how much gas we wasted?

Do you

Huh?

No way we're leaving
without doing anything.

No way.

No way!

Maybe some other day?
-There is no other day!

Tomorrow's the wedding party
then it's the Sabbath.

There is no other day.
We're doing this tonight.

That's what we said.

Right?

Enough already, Yosef Haim.

I'll give you strength.

I'll give you strength.

Here. Here.

There's a store over there,

go get an energy drink,
Blue or something.

And get me some cigarettes.
-Why me?

Because you listen to me.

You don't argue all the time.

I'll go with you.

Do it fast.
Blue and cigarettes.

Go.

Yinon.

Don't talk Hebrew.

You keep bossing us around,

but don't do anything yourself.

I'm tired of it.
-Don't forget

who sets you up
with what you need, Yinon.

A phone, a SIM card,
driving lessons.

Being ungrateful
is one of the ugliest qualities

a person can have.

Remember that.

I'm telling you,
because I care about you.

From the heart.

Do you want something else?

What?

Cigarettes?

Which ones
-"Next."

Which "Next?

Which "Next?

Which "Next" do you want?

Which "Next?"

Red "Next."

Two.

That's 80.

Anything else?

Here.

Good night.

Go, go.

You got it?

Yeah, Avishai has the bag.

Let's get outta here.

What's the rush?
Avishai, give me a can.

Where are my cigarettes?

In here.

What is this? Mojito flavor?

Ew, give me something else.

Let's go! Half the neighborhood
saw our faces.

Look at that guy.

Dude!

How much is that?
-30,000.

No way.
My car costs 30,000.

Wanna trade?

You wish.
How fast does it go?

60 km per hour.
-Yosef, let's get out of here.

Okay.

We're finding one now.

No way we're crapping out tonight.

Stop here. -Why?

Let's pray.
Next to that place of theirs.

The Jews and Muslims
have the same God.

Where's that coming from?

Maimonides said so.

Maimonides never said that

and if he did, he was wrong.
-Maimonides was wrong?

Pull over.

If you want to pray, stop here.

Maimonides said:
Better pray near a mosque.

I'm not praying near any mosque.

I don't care what Maimonides said.

Go on,
recite a chapter of Psalms.

"I lift up my eyes to the hills,
where does my help come from?

"My help comes from the Lord.

"He will not let
your foot be moved.

"He who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep."

Alright already,
now we're gonna find someone.

God will see to it.

You'll see.

What did you say?

No crapping out tonight.

Let's do this.

Listen to me, focus! Avishai!

You get off here,

I'll make a U-turn
and come back.

This time, Avishai, no hesitation.

One-two, he's in the car.

Understand?

I'm counting on you, Avishai.

Yinon? -Yes.

Avishai?
-Yes.

Okay.
-We're doing this for the people of Israel,

it's a hell of a responsibility.

No way we let them down.

No way.

Now go.

Go.

Hold on.

If I honk, you abort.
Two honks, beep beep

means something's wrong,

we call it off, okay?

Got it?

Now go.

Where's he going

He's turning around
and coming back.

Do we wait for him?
-Yeah.

Listen,

when we get close to him,
don't look him in the eye.

Why?

That's why we screwed up
the last time.

Look anywhere,
just not the eyes.

Why's he honking?

Something must be wrong.

Get in the car.

Get

Listen to this.

What?
-We got it.

A gift from heaven, praise God.

There's this Arab bastard over there,
around 60.

He asked me for a ride to town.
-So?

Gimme a green light.

And?
-I told him to wait,

I'm getting my nephews
and I'll be back to get him.

Are you kidding?
-I swear, he begged me for a ride.

Can you believe it?

Must be from God.

The guy's gonna get into our car?

You hear that, Avishai?

Awesome.
-There he is.

Where?
-I don't believe it.

That guy?

See the guy in white?

Yeah, yeah.

Go.

Are you ready?
-Yeah.

Go, go.


e're coming, pal.

Go.

No, don't stop, don't stop!
-Darn!

I don't believe it...

Damn!

What a bummer.

Okay, that's it.

We're going home.

Here's that boy again.

Kid!

Do you know
how we get to Tel Aviv?

Is it over there?

That way?

Arabic, I don't speak Hebrew.

What?

Do you know?
Show me with your hand.

Can you show me
how to get to Tel Aviv?

Bro, can you show me
how to get to Tel Aviv?

Is it that way?

Wanna come with us
to Tel Aviv?

We'll take you anywhere.
You want to?

You..

So you moved his hand?

Show me.

Show you what?

Exactly what you did.

I can't with the handcuffs.

Take them off.

Okay.

I'm Mohammed.

Show me.

I'm on the phone, like this?

On the step?

At this point...

you're standing on the step.

Like this?

Yes.

And?

Should I do it?

Show me what you did that night.

Raise... your hand.

Let go of me!

Let go...

Shove him in,
shut his mouth.

Help me get him in.

I can't.
-Go, go, go!

So what you're saying is
you were the one who hit first.

Yes.

Yinon didn't touch him before that.

No.

Yinon stood behind me at first.

The next morning we had..

a disagreement...

about that.

Yosef Haim and Yinon said that I..

that I slapped him.

You slapped him?

That's what they said.

Maybe I did.

I remember more of a push.

I'm not sure.

You're not sure
if you slapped him?

Either a slap or a push.

Weren't you scared?

No.

He was little.

Grab him!
Hold him down!

I am!
-Shut him up, Yinon!

Shut that Arab up

Where are the zip ties?

Do you have them?

I can't!

Tie his hands!

Shut him up!

Hold him down!
-I'm holding him!

Help him, Avishai,
grab his hands.

I am!
-Grab his hands! -I am!

Show me how you held his hands.

I can't, the cuffs...

but I held his hands

and then...

when Yinon was on top of him
I grabbed his hands,

like this,

and Yinon choked him.

Like this.

And...

then he got tired,

I don't know for how long.

Avishai, I can't feel my hands.

Help me.

Help how?
-Support my arm.

Support my arm!

He asked me to help him,
so I went like this.

Um...

That's it.

How is he?

How is he, Yinon?

I think he's done.
-Don't believe him.

He could attack us!
These guys have 7 souls!

Should I finish him off?
-Yeah!

It was a matter of seconds,
. I didn't...

At that moment, what did you think
would happen?

I'm asking if you knew
you were going to kill him?

If Yosef Haim said, "Finish him off,"

so apparently...
-Not "apparently!"

Try to remember
what you planned on doing?

To kidnap.

To kidnap and...?

I don't remember...
- Avishai!

You knew you wouldn't
just kidnap him.

To kidnap and what?

To kidnap and kill.

And what did you do next?

I said, "Don't kill him."

Who did you say it to?

Yosef Haim and Yinon.

I said, "Don't kill him."

Did they hear you?

I don't know.

What's that?

Where's his phone?!
-I'm looking.

In his pocket?
-Did you find it? -I'm looking

Avishai!
-Found it!

Turn it off!
Turn it off, Yinon!

Throw the battery
out the window!

Hurry up!
-Hold on!

Toss it!

What did you do?
You threw out the phone!

What's with the Arab?

I think he's finished.
-Make sure.

I can't.

I'm beat.

You didn't do a thing.
-What?

We do it a

I have to drive!
-I can drive too.

You think I can't drive?

We did all the dirty work.

What's with you?
You don't have a license.

How can I let you drive?

Idiot.

Where's that coming from?

I didn't do anything.

Are you sure he was breathing
when you got out of the car?

Um...

It was more like..

You playing with your phone now?
-I need a flashlight, you idiot!

You say
don't do anything, right?

What did you do?
We did it all.

Get the crow bar
from the trunk.

Get the crowbar!

Get a grip, Yinon!

Gimme the crowbar.

Avishai, get back in the car and don't look,
so you don't get nightmares.

Huh?

This is for Gilad
and this is for Naftali and this is for Eyal

and this is for Shalhevet Pas
and the Fogel family.

And after Yosef Haim beat him?

I didn't look.

You didn't look.

Get the gasoline.

Pour it.

More.

Here.

Move out of the way.

More, Yinon, more.

Me... Me, me!

So you're saying
that when it came to setting him on fire,

only Yosef Haim and Yinon were involved.

Since

I can't look at a dead person...

Yosef Haim told me not to look

because I'd have nightmares for life.

Okay, and then you got in the car?

Yes.

Okay.

Yaniv...

Get

Where did you'go from here?

Sacher Park.

What is this shit?
-Take it.

It'll calm you down.

-Come on, take it.

I can't, I have to be focused
for the exam. -Take it!

Give that to me.

Now we don't have to lie about playing guitar.
Got it?

Avishai,

are you alright?

Look.

I just wanted to ask...

you understood...
that I didn't actually commit murder.

I did things
that are unforgivable,

but... still...

in terms of the act itself, I..

It makes a difference, doesn't it?

I don't know.

Stand here.

Yitzhaki. -Yes.

Open the door.
-Sign him in, here and here.

What's up, Roni?

The war is on,
they're bombing Gaza. -Wow.

Okay, let's go.

So you're done with him?

Yes.
