Transcripts - Forever Dreaming

RAMLA, ISRAEL

I always knew

this is how he'd die.

Calm down, Mom.

I saw him in my dreams.

He was a fighter,

but the poor boy had a kind heart.

He got beaten up and beat up others,

he was left without a home,

neither here nor there.

You did everything you could.

You even went all the way to him.

Mom, you can't talk about it.

It's too risky for me, understand?

Sorry, my daughter.

You just tried to help him.

What have I done, Mom?

What have I done?

All I did was ruin everything.

Omar is gone,

and I'm left with no home and no job.

We can't even bury his body.

May God have mercy on his soul.

Thank you.

- May you live long and prosper.

- Thank you.

It's so sad.

Maya, my wife is preparing some food.

- She asked if you need anything.

- Sure, thank you.

What is it?

Don't worry, be brave.

Inside is a single-use SIM card.

Use it and I'll throw it away. Here.

- Hello?

- Sorry for your loss, Maya.

Your brother was a great fighter.

I'm not allowed to contact anyone,

but I had to call.

Omar was like a brother to me,

you know that.

I wish it were me and not him.

Tell your mom she's in my thoughts.

What do you want?

When is the funeral?

There is no funeral.

The Defense Ministry

won't release the body.

b*stards.

There's no limit to their cruelty.

Do you know anything about what happened?

How he was k*lled?

There are only rumors here,

nobody knows how exactly.

No, they didn't tell us anything.

But I'm sure he didn't talk.

Omar was no traitor, he'd never do that.

Maya, he has to be buried in Jenin.

Returning home was his dream.

I told you, there's no body to bury.

Besides, they'd never agree to that.

I know, it was just a suggestion.

It's what he would've wanted.

That way we could mourn him.

Don't call me again.

- Hello?

- Where are you, Nael?

Prepare the missiles.

Hey, Calm down, calm down.

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here.

You're okay. You're alright.

It's okay.

- Hey, buddy.

- Hey, buddy.

That's it. That's it.

Gali, I need your help.

Yes?

Eli, what's up?

Raphael's thrilled, so you know

He's a robot. He's all about models,

conclusions and analysis.

Suddenly, he says to me,

"I think I can learn

a thing or two from those guys."

Raphael said that. Can you believe?

So, I'm letting you know.

He'll talk to you.

That's good, I'm glad.

Mm hm.

Dana, I

Regarding what I said

Wait a moment, wait, wait, Eli.

Before you start to say goodbye

No, no, no goodbye.

No. It's a notice.

In three months, I'm done.

Eli, I know how much

you've given to us. I know.

I know and I've seen you,

as a soldier, as a commander,

managing these complex operations

with such f*cked up people. I know.

- And of course, you're burned out.

- Burned out?

Burned out.

Marciano, I'm done.

You are too, so don't give me all this.

Enough. I'm done.

But I need you, Eli.

I need you. I'm serious.

- If it's about your terms, then

- What do you mean terms?

Are you serious right now?

Is it clear?

I'm out. Done.

Doron sent you here

for some coaching?

I hear Itamar wants to come see you.

They gave him a few days' leave.

You know, Gabi, he wants to see you.

Tell Doron to call him

and tell him not to come over.

But why?

You don't have to say anything,

it's just for him to see you.

What do you want? Huh?

Are you here to give me some pity?

No.

I'm only here to offer some prayers.

On the way here I thought about Boaz.

For three days,

they held him there until he died.

We never got a body

so that we could know what happened.

Which is better, actually.

It was good for my parents.

The didn't need to know..

I miss him so much.

I wish he were here.

But Gabi, at least you're here, with us,

with your son, with your family,

with us.

We love you and need you here.

You think Doron could get by without you?

Gabi, we need you here.

- Peace be upon you.

- Upon you be peace and Allah's blessing.

Cheers.

Cheers.

I talked to Dana.

I told her I'm leaving the unit.

I'm quitting.

Because of Hagit?

Yeah, yeah.

Sometimes I feel like Avihai

is watching over me.

Through the scope.

Aiming right for my heart.

Eli, she loves you,

you love her,

that's good.

You don't want to lose that.

And you? You've heard from Maya?

JENIN, PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY

- Has anyone shown up?

- Nobody.

Today we'll show the Jews

they haven't broken our spirit.

RAMLA, ISRAEL

Why are you here?

How are you?

I'm fine.

I wanted to tell you

that I'm sorry for everything.

You shouldn't have come here.

I just was trying to find Ayub.

He's my dear friend,

and I told his family

I'd do everything I could.

Yeah? To fight back or?

I thought you didn't know he was alive.

Or was this for revenge?

No. You know it was a progression.

Omar and his men abducted him

and tortured him.

You saw him, he was broken.

And it's not like Omar was forced.

He knew what he was doing.

So, shall I say sorry?

Well then, I'm sorry.

It's sick. It's terrible what they did,

what he did.

Alright?

Is that better?

No.

- I just want you to understand

- And I just want you to leave.

Maya.

Do you realize they won't let us bury him?

Throwing him in a hole out there,

without a funeral or a grave,

like an animal.

- I can try and help if you want

- Don't do that. Really

You've done enough.

Maya.

I'm sorry.

JENIN, PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY

Hello! Ho!

Sir, for God's sake,

what are you doing here?

Don't worry, Abu Ibrahim,

we're leaving soon.

Only God keeps me from worry, Adel.

You're telling me not to worry?

What's with you, bro?

With all due respect,

take your things and leave.

Please, I beg you!

Or else the army will destroy my home

and arrest me and my sons.

- I don't want that, please!

- Abu Ibrahim,

I said, don't worry.

Stop, stop! I said, stop!

This is my property!

You can't do as you please!

- You bring disaster upon us!

- Abu Ibrahim, listen to me.

We're leaving this here.

If you or anyone in your family

opens their mouth,

I'll come back and slaughter you all.

SHIN BET (GSS) FACILITY

- What about Adel?

- We have no clue.

We don't know what he's planning.

He disappeared in the refugee camp.

What about the body? Omar's.

They're not releasing him?

Doron, let it go, okay? Seriously.

We owe it to her, she helped us.

- I'll check the status, okay?

- Thank you.

Also, why don't you come visit?

- Everyone's been.

- You the etiquette police?

You think I have any time

to leave this building right now?

We're under maximum alert all day.

Has he asked for me?

No, he's asked for no one.

He doesn't care.

He wanders outside all day.

He can't stay inside for long

And if he falls asleep,

he wakes up screaming.

- Gali was there today.

- Mm hm.

I hope she helped.

But he isn't with us, Dana.

That's why we need to be there for him.

So he knows we're not angry at him,

and we love him.

I can't do it.

It's awful, I know.

I can't do it.

Is that bad?

No, it's alright.

Yes?

What is it? What's going on?

Okay, fine, I understand. I'm coming.

- What's wrong?

- Adel posted a message online:

"Tonight at nine,

missiles on central Israel."

Hey, mami.

UNIT - w*r ROOM

No, no, no, no, no. No. Shit!

Damn it.

I hope you're hungry, mami.

No, actually, I ate at my mother's house.

Okay, well

UNIT - w*r ROOM

Hey, mami. I'm

The thing that we talked about, I

I thought about it.

And I know you're having

a hard time with my job.

and you and Michael are the most

important ones,

so I've decided Wait, listen.

I've decided that I, that, that I

I want to find a new job.

Mami, it'll take some time

for me to do

a half a year, a year and a half,

I don't care, but

and I don't know what my options are,

but I won't stop looking for something.

Yeah? I promise you.

I promise.

Steve.

- What, mami?

- My love.

I understand that I

I know, um, I It's not that

I just want to explain that I

I want to make changes for you.

- I'll look for something else, I will

- Stop, please.

- Please, mama, please, I love you.

- Stop.

- Please, my baby. Mami.

- Stop.

Stop. Stop. Don't do that.

Stop. Stop.

- Please, love.

- Stop. Answer your phone.

Mami.

Shit. Shit.

- Baby. Mami.

- Come on.

Shhh!

Baby, they're calling you! Go!

It'll be okay.

GUSH DAN UNDER FIRE

We'll start

with the latest updates.

The IDF has announced

a full mobilization of reserve troops.

Thirteen battalions have been deployed

with the Judea and Sharon areas.

The IDF and the GSS are preparing

for Operation Defensive Shield 2.

We assure our usual commentators

will get to all of you soon.

But first, some new updates.

At this very second, we are receiving

more Red alerts from additional areas,

which include Afula, Hadera,

Caesarea and Or Akiva.

Rockets were also fired at Kfar Saba,

Tzur Yigal and southern Sharon

Two rockets were fired on Tel Aviv

a short while ago.

One fell on a house,

there were no injuries.

the other was intercepted

by the Iron Dome.

Kareem, my son

You are my most precious

Kareem, my son

You are my most precious

Kareem, my son

You are the sweetest flower

- Abu Ibrahim?

- Yes, what do you want?

Take him.

But what did I do?

What did I do? I didn't do anything,

I swear.

"There is no power

and no strength, other than by Allah."

Brother, what choice did I have?

That miserable thug showed up

with his g*ng of psychos

and they were all armed.

They began digging in my property,

in my own yard, without permission.

I asked them, "What are you doing?

What is that?"

So you asked, Abu Ibrahim.

But you saw what they were doing,

you knew full well.

Sir, you say that I knew

what they were doing.

As God is my witness,

I swear on my children's lives,

all I saw was metal rods in the ground.

Besides, he threatened me.

He said, "I'll slaughter your children,

your wife and you."

Abu Ibrahim,

the missiles fired from your property

k*lled eight Israelis.

You know what that means?

That you'll be charged. You, your wife,

and your son Murad,

the straight-A student.

You were all at home.

You'll all be charged with m*rder.

Understand, Abu Ibrahim?

That's eight life sentences.

Wouldn't that be a shame, Abu Ibrahim?

Who's more important to you? Adel

or your son?

"There is no God but Allah."

What am I accused of?

Look what that bastard Adel

has done to us.

May God strike him dead!

- Abu Ibrahim?

- Yes?

Where's Adel?

Where do you think?

In the refugee camp,

in al-Fajr neighborhood.

He knows you won't enter the camp.

He's sure you wouldn't dare.

Yes.

- What's up?

- How are you?

Look, I've been called in, and

I don't know when I'll be back.

I thought you should be here.

- Oh, I thought that he asked me to.

- No, not yet.

But I think it's time you spoke.

Fine.

- Is his room there?

- No, he's outside, by the fence.

I just don't know

what to say now.

Just tell him you love him.

That's all he needs.

Abba?

Abba, wait a second.

Abba.

Abba.

Hey, hey.

It's okay.

I told the kids we were fine and

that the missiles didn't fall near us,

but they want to come back.

They're worried about us.

Mostly about you.

They shouldn't worry.

- There's nothing they can do right now.

- Yes, for now.

I don't know, I have a bad feeling

about this whole thing,

Feels like just the beginning.

No, it'll be over soon.

Alright, Gali, I'll call you. Bye.

Looks like Beirut in the '80s.

- Have you seen Steve?

- Yeah, outside.

I think he's going through something.

We're lying there on the floor,

and we hear the booms,

the alerts, the sirens,

the kid is crying, and I keep thinking

that I wish a rocket would

drop on me and I'd die.

Then I started thinking, where's the best

place for me to put a b*llet in my head.

Just so Michael won't hear.

So that she finds me.

Can you get it, brother?

It's really happening.

- She's leaving me.

- Steve, listen to me,

With time you will heal.

And you have Michael,

no one can take him away.

Eventually, you will find someone else

who really loves you, brother. Really.

But I don't want another woman.

I don't. I don't.

I just want her to love me.

Let her go.

Let her go, you can do it.

Let her go, Steve.

SHIN BET (GSS) FACILITY

Raphael, if we send

ground troops in there,

you know very well how it will go.

Defensive Shield was a warm up

to what would happen here.

They would have hundreds of casualties

and so would we.

- There are no other solutions?

- How?

We have no SIGINT,

no resources, no collaborators.

Those names that Ayub didn't give up

are afraid to open their mouths.

Meanwhile, Adel and his people are not

communicating on the phone,

on the computer, not anywhere.

This is what he wants.

He wants us to launch this operation

and set the West Bank ablaze.

That was their goal from the start,

to paralyze us and take our sight,

They could draw us into a fight.

- He's leading us to w*r.

- Yes, maybe.

However, we can't just sit here

and wait for Adel Tawalbe's error.

We have to do what it takes to get him.

There are no options.

What? Here?

One second.

- Hi.

- Hey.

Gabi, I'm sorry I didn't come visit.

It's been crazy over here.

I wanted to give a suggestion.

No, you shouldn't have

come out here just for that.

It will be fine. We're handling it.

Where's the body?

Omar's body.

Abu Kabir.

Waiting for the cabinet

to decide what to do.

Give him to the Authority.

They'll bury him in Jenin.

They'll give him the funeral of a hero.

He'll be a Palestinian hero.

Adel is a street kid,

someone who wants honor

and to be the king.

He would never let Fatah or Hamas

take credit for his fighter.

Once he realizes what's going on,

he'll gather and go to the funeral.

Did you know

they let me read the newspaper there.

They wanted me to see what I'd done.

I wanted to die.

I tried, but they wouldn't let me.

It doesn't matter, 'cause I'm already

I'm already dead.

- They k*lled me, Dana.

- No, don't say that.

Gabi, don't say that, please.

You're here and we love you,

and I love you.

I love you, Gabi.
