01x04 - The aftermath

Post by bunniefuu »

- [men shout in Arabic]

- [Pia screams]

[in English] You want Hamas to save

your daughter from these t*rrorists?

- Your standing will go through the roof.

- Now, you are insulting me!

[Anat] Minister, do the right thing.

Rescue my children.

Bring them home. We want them!

It's them.

Their hands are tied behind their backs.

These are hostages.

[weeping]

If there is any attempt to find us,

we will be k*lled immediately.

Can you get it done or not?

[Grant] Above them, in control position,

waiting for the green light.

Go.

[silenced g*nsh*t]

- [in Arabic] Get out!

- [g*nf*re]

[Pia screams]

- [Nadav groans]

- [rapid g*nf*re]

- [Grant, in English] Twelve armed units

- [overlapping radio chatter]

[under breath] f*ck.

Pull out and keep a low profile.

You were never there.

You realise, if anyone finds out

I was behind this, my life will be ruined?

Mine and yours.

[tense pulsating music plays]

[sighs deeply]

[t*rror1st, in Arabic]

Do not count as dead

those who are k*lled

in the cause of Allah.

Rather they are living

only you perceive not.

Allah is great!

In the name of God,

the most gracious, the most merciful.

Master of the day of judgment.

We worship only You,

and we seek help from You.

Guide us to the straight path.

The path of those You blessed,

not of the condemned, nor of the lost.

Amen!

[Pia, in English] Okay.

Okay, take this side.

- [Nadav groans]

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[Nadav groaning]

- [Pia] Take this.

- [Noa, softly] Nadav.

[Pia] We have to put it

really tight, okay?

[Nadav sighs]

[Pia] As As hard as you can, okay?

- Good, good, good, good. Harder.

- [Nadav groaning]

- Yalla. Hurry up!

- [Nadav pants]

Dress!

Yalla. Three minutes, we move.

Yalla!

[Nadav breathing heavily]

[indistinct chatter in Arabic]

[t*rror1st] Get them out!

[indistinct chatter continues]

- [Yusuf, in English] Go, go, go!

- [Nadav groans]

[Yusuf, in Arabic] Walk.

[Ali] Khaled.

Set up that area.

Prepare the camera.

Put it in the same place.

Bring the girls.

Are we going to film again?

[Ali] They k*lled our men.

Somebody's gotta pay.

Cover your face and bring the girls.

[tense pulsating music plays]

[Bill Clinton, in English] Today,

we bear witness to an extraordinary act

in one of history's defining dramas.

[camera shutter snaps]

[child laughs]

[indistinct shouting]

[Pia screams]

Good morning.

- [indistinct chatter]

- [acoustic guitar strums]

Good morning.

Morning.

Hey.

[man] It's a problem?

- If problem, I take and go.

- No, no, no.

- How much for these?

- [vender] Uh, this is five euro.

Five euro?

[vender] No, no, no.

I-I-I no take money from you.

Alex? Hi.

Arik is waiting.

- Please?

- Okay, thank you.

[door closes]

[Alex sighs]

- It's a nice picture.

- Mm-hmm.

Alex, something happened.

But it's crucial that everything

I tell you now stays between us.

Yes, yes, of course.

What happened?

There was an attempt to free the hostages.

Yes.

[Alex] Uh

But it failed.

- [Alex gasps and sighs]

- I don't exactly know why it went wrong.

[Alex sighs]

Did something happen to her?

N-Not that I know of, no.

Please.

Can you tell me?

[gasps] Did something

[voice trembles] Is

Is she alive?

I

Tell me, is she alive

or is she dead? Please!

I don't know.

- You don't know?

- I don't know.

[sobs] What do you mean you don't know?

[inhales agitatedly]

[weeps]

What? Please, tell me.

[phone vibrates]

- [under breath] f*ck.

- [phone vibrates]

Hello?

[Alex sobbing softly]

[Arik] Sure. I'll be right there.

- [Alex sighs deeply]

- [Arik] Bye.

[Alex breathes heavily]

I have to go, Alex.

- But we

- They just notified me.

!sis has sent a new video.

[gasps and sighs]

[Ali] We warned you

that your only hope was to deal with us.

And still, you wouldn't listen.

Because of the aggression,

and the stupidity of the Israelis

the family of this girl

have you to blame.

And this girl will take the punishment

of your act.

[breathing heavily]

[Ali] Speak.

[voice quivers in terror]

The Israeli government

was asked to release

!sis prisoners.

But [pants breathlessly]

[exhales sharply]

but instead

a pitiful Zionist rescue force

showed up here tonight

[whimpers and breath trembles]

a a and tried to release us.

They have failed.

Noa!

- Noa! Noa!

- [t*rror1st shouts]

- [Noa pants]

- [Ali] Keep going.

[breathing heavily]

The Israelis

[sobs]

need to know

that th-they alone are responsible for

[sobbing]

[breathing very heavily]

for my u-unnecessary death.

[shrieks] Noa!

- [t*rror1st grumbles]

- [Nadav] Noa, no!

- [t*rror1st shouts]

- [Nadav] Noa!

[tense music plays]

[blade unsheathes]

[tense music drowns out audio]

[sombre music plays]

People

People, we only have a small window

of opportunity in which to locate them.

Intelligence, do we have a trace?

I need a location quickly. Uri.

Uri, place the scan

based on their transmission.

Got it? Alright, then.

We'll follow the trace until

- [Karl] It wasn't Pia.

- [Alex] No, it wasn't.

- [Karl] Thank God.

- [Alex sighs]

[Karl] I could swear that was her.

[Alex] Yes, me too. [breath quivers]

- [Karl sighs]

- [Alex] It's crazy!

It's so good to hear your voice.

- [sighs]

- [Karl] How's the other mother doing?

No, it's completely

It's completely crazy.

I don't know what to [gasps]

I don't know what to do. [sobs]

[Alex sighs deeply]

- It's total chaos.

- Right.

- Do you want to come home?

- [Alex] No.

No, I can't.

[Karl] But isn't it the best thing

to do right now?

No, it's alright.

[Karl] She's going to be alright.

You know that, right?

Of course, but [sighs]

[Karl] We must do everything

we can to get her freed.

[people sobbing]

- Blessed art Thou

- [meekly] Blessed art Thou

God, our Lord

God, our Lord

- King of our universe

- King of our universe

The true judge

[sobs] The true judge.

[woman] Mm.

[Anat sobs]

[breathing heavily]

[breath trembles]

[voiced sigh]

You're shaking.

- I'm cold.

- [thud]

[Yusuf grunts]

- [shovel thuds and scrapes]

- [Yusuf grunts]

[grunting increasingly agitatedly]

[shouts]

- [t*rror1st, in Arabic] That's enough.

- [Yusuf] I'm done.

- [t*rror1st speaks Arabic]

- [Yusuf] That's enough!

[pants]

[grunting loudly]

[footsteps approaching slowly]

[t*rror1st] Come on.

[Yusuf pants softly]

[pants]

[t*rror1st] I wish they all die.

[Yusuf pants softly]

[gentle sombre music plays]

[rabbi] Blessed be the true judge.

Don't cry. We, uh

It's better if we pray, huh?

We must believe in prayer.

[sings prayer in Hebrew]

[people singing prayer]

[echoing voices singing]

[singing fades out]

[sombre music drowns out audio]

[Yusuf sighs]

[rabbi sobs]

[weeps loudly]

Why did you tell her?

Why did you tell her?

- Why? Why? Why?

- [Pia] Shh.

- Stop, stop, stop.

- [Nadav pants]

[softly] Stop.

- [sobs] It was my fault.

- [Pia] Shh.

- What?

- It was my fault.

- Your fault? No, no, it's not.

- Yes.

Yes, yes, I told her to come.

- I told her to come.

- Yeah, but Nadav

I should have told them to k*ll me.

- No, Nadav. Nadav, listen.

- I should have told them to k*ll me!

- Listen. Look at me. Look at me.

- No.

There was nothing

you could have done, okay?

There was nothing you could have done.

[pages shuffle]

[pages shuffle]

What happened?

Hmm?

You're a disgrace to humanity.

Do you know that?

No, worse.

You're a f*cking monster.

- Someone is dead, huh?

- [Karl] Yeah.

I take it it's not Pia.

If it had been Pia, I would have

been strangling you right now.

- Oh, really?

- [Karl] Yeah.

Huh.

You're aware

if anything happens to her

I will make sure

that you spend the rest of your life

in a godforsaken prison in a country

somewhere in the Middle East

Well, let's just hope

it doesn't come to that, shall we?

Look, I rely on you to get me out

and you rely on me to get Pia out.

Well, I've, uh, been through

[inhales deeply]

every aspect of your case, every detail.

[Abu] And?

There's nothing there

that we can use to fight for a retrial.

Nothing.

As I understand it,

if we file for a retrial, I go to court.

- Yeah.

- [inhales]

I might not get acquitted in the retrial,

but just get me to court, okay?

[door unlocks]

Oh, um

give Sidi an update, yeah?

[hesitantly] Yeah, um [sighs]

I-I-I've talked to Abu Salim,

and he wanted me to give you an update.

Yes. So?

Well, that's the odd thing,

'cause I didn't have any news for him,

but-but he only seemed concerned

about getting a court case.

Sure.

[Karl] What do you mean?

[Sidi] Thanks.

- [footsteps departing]

- But for what?

[Sidi] Just get him a court case. [sighs]

I th I-I think they're planning

to use force to free Abu Salim

at the the courthouse.

[Alex] What-- What makes you think that?

[Karl] They don't care at all

about the court proceedings anymore.

They only care about

when his court case will begin.

[Alex] Well, so you think

there will be an attack?

Yeah Uh, I'm not sure.

[Alex] And that was the only way

to help Pia?

- Yeah.

- [Alex] Because we don't have a case?

[Karl] I-I-I can't let t*rrorists

attack a Norwegian court of law.

[Alex] Well, do we have a choice?

[Karl] There must be

another way to do this.

[woman] Prime Minister,

the security cabinet is on the line.

[Prime Minister] Bring me the heads

of the murderers, those sons of b*tches.

Sir, I think !sis need to understand

if they do not release the two hostages,

we will open the gates of hell upon them.

[Prime Minister] Close to finding them?

Give me some good news, gentlemen.

We'll locate them soon enough, sir.

Our satellites and drones are scanning

every centimetre of the desert.

- But the Egyptians are furious with us.

- [Prime Minister] They're right.

They also think it was us.

- Arik, are you handling this with Nabil?

- Yes. Yes, sir.

[Prime Minister] Ruth, Udi, find out

who the idiots were behind this screw-up.

Make it a top priority at once.

I think this was an independent

guerrilla operation.

Maybe even a militia from Norway.

I'll set up an investigation team

to look into profiles

of private units in Israel.

Yes, but shouldn't our focus right now

be on how we rescue the hostages?

[Chaim] You heard the Prime Minister.

Top priority.

Whoever it is,

that poor girl's m*rder is on them.

[inhales deeply]

[ringing tone]

[phone rings]

I can't talk.

- [Alex] What's happening?

- All hell is happening.

I mean, what are you doing in regards to

[Arik] I can't do anything more, okay?

They're going to come looking for me now.

[Alex] But you can't

I mean, we can't just give up.

No.

But at the moment, my hands are tied.

I'll figure something out.

And you, don't say a thing.

But how?

[under breath] Goddammit!

[sighs]

[water splashes]

[Alex sighs]

[distant siren blaring]

[Mosh] We're losing our momentum, Chaim,

to go in.

We're waiting for Ruth.

Okay.

We checked.

It's certainly not a Norwegian force.

[Chaim] Who the hell is it?

[Ruth] We're looking into mercenaries

from Eastern Europe.

While we're in the dark

about this operation,

the Egyptians are getting

increasingly hostile.

We can't talk to anyone over there, Chaim.

Why don't we put pressure on Hamas?

The Hamas?

What do they have to do with all of this?

[Arik] Hamas control Gaza, no?

Make them understand, if !sis hurt them,

if they touch them, even one,

Gaza will pay,

and they will pay very dearly!

That'll come back to us like a boomerang.

Attacks lead to attacks.

- You'll see Israelis run to the shelters

- Then make them run to the shelters!

The Hamas should understand

that they have to solve the problem.

There's no other way.

We have to save those kids,

Chaim, you know?

Just make a choice.

Maski.

- [Nadav gasps and groans]

- [Pia] I know, I know.

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

- [Nadav groans]

[Pia] Stay still, Nadav.

You have to sit still.

- [Nadav groaning in agony]

- [Pia] Nearly there.

- Goddammit!

- [Pia] Shh.

- [grunts] f*ck!

- [Pia] Shh.

- f*ck, that hurts! [groans]

- [Pia] I know, I know.

- [Nadav grunts] Slowly!

- [Pia] Nearly there.

[Nadav panting]

- [Pia] You okay?

- [Nadav] Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm okay.

[breathless] I'm okay.

- [Pia] I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

It's okay. Thank you. Thank you.

[Pia] You're doing good.

[sighs deeply]

[Pia] Good.

- They will k*ll us too, you know.

- [Pia] Shh.

- [Nadav] They will, Pia.

- [Pia] You need to rest.

[child giggling]

- [resounding boom]

- [children shout]

[indistinct shouting]

[sirens blaring]

[Layla, in Arabic]

I wish the bombing to stop.

- [baby crying]

- [mobile phone ringing]

Excuse me.

[phone continues ringing]

Yusuf?

[Yusuf] Mum.

Thank God you're fine.

[Yusuf] I'm alright, Mum.

I'm so worried about you. Where are you?

[sobs]

[hesitates] I

[Layla] Yusuf.

I'm with them, Mum.

- [Layla] What do you mean?

- With those who have Pia.

You are what?

[Yusuf] I've messed up, Mum.

I'm really in a hot mess.

You need to help me get back home.

[t*rror1st] Yusuf!

[Yusuf] I have to go.

No. Wait!

I'll call you back later, Mum.

Hello?

Hello?

Yusuf?

[Ali speaks indistinctly on video]

[Noa sobbing]

[knocking]

[Layla, in English] Alex?

Wh-What are you doing here?

I'm

- [Alex] Is this a bad time?

- [Layla sighs]

No, I'm just

You know, it's all a bit

too much right now.

- Yes, I know.

- [loud boom]

- [Alex] Oh!

- [rubble clatters]

[Layla] Oh, my God. Come.

- [distant sirens]

- [muffled dogs barking]

[Alex breathing heavily]

Listen. [sighs]

[inhales sharply] I need help.

[sighs] I need to see Bashir again.

No. I-I'm not going back there.

It was a mistake.

Listen. We need to give Hamas

a better reason to act.

Please, I have to give it another try.

[voice breaks] Sorry.

[children chatter in distance]

[sighs] Okay.

I'll go alone.

[child in distance] Mama!

[inhales] Yeah.

Wait! Wait, wait.

Coming back to Bashir like this

- That we don't

- Don't worry.

I have something else for them.

Something I should have told you

a long time ago.

[tense music plays]

- [Bashir, in Arabic] Alright?

- Okay.

[footsteps approaching]

Hello.

[Bashir] Hello.

Sit down.

Mr Bashir

thank you for letting us

see you one more time.

I told you, there's nothing

we can do for her daughter.

But my friend has a suggestion now.

Oslo talks again?

[in English] Go on.

[inhales] First of all,

I want to thank you.

[inhales and sighs]

[sighs]

As you made it clear

the last time we talked,

you could not see any good reason

for you to go into Sinai

and bring Pia and Nadav back.

That's correct.

What if I gave you

another very good reason

to bring them back?

What if you get to the point

right away?

[breathes nervously]

I have valuable knowledge.

Facts that could help you a lot.

Go on.

[nervously] Before I give you

this information, I need to

I need to have a guarantee.

[inhales] You need to promise me this.

[inhales] If I give

this information to you,

and you find it useful

you will do what you can

to get Pia and Nadav out.

[tense music continues]

[Alex] You can find out where they are.

You have troops.

Your armed forces can rescue them.

And with this information

it will be useful.

You can stop the bombing with it.

Okay.

[Alex] Really?

You have a deal.

If your information is useful to us

we will do whatever we can

to get them out.

Do you know Arik Shor? [sighs]

Yes, of course.

Why do you ask?

[inhales] What if you could make sure

that Arik owes you a very big favour

by saving Pia?

Arik Shor

[tense music continues]

is Pia's father.

Is he now?

[music continues]

My, my

Do you realise what you have just done?

[tense music builds]

[music fades out]

- [woman moans]

- [whip cracks]

[man, in deep voice] Monster.
