Policeman (2011)

[bunniefuu]

This is the most beautiful
country in the world.

Yaron!

Yaron!

Daniel!

Shlomi!

Ariel!

Amir!

Did you take a bath today?

No.

But the doctor told you to.

I didn't feel like it.

Nili...

She was born in a village

That never felt the sweet heat

Where reputation is better than gold

It's so quiet, it puts you to sleep

Show me your smile

Smile at me while they sleep

They don't like it

She likes the radio pumping hard

She likes the radio pumping hard...

'"To prepare the uterus muscles
for labor,

'"begin with circular movements
on the contracting muscles.

'"First, press on the inner
thighs with your fingertips.'"

'"Tighten and relax the buttocks,

'"moving gradually
towards the inner thighs.'"

What? Come again?

Move in.

You should see Ariel,
he got so thin.

We shortened the route
by 20 Km for him.

He couldn't breathe going up
the mountain,

but he didn't say a word.

On the way back he said
he loves his hair.

He said he's got a ball
in his head big as a nut.

Monday he has an important examination
and I'm going with him.

But he's strong.

If he has the tumor, that's it.

If he has the tumor, it's over.

Touch.

I'll go get you some ginger. The doctor
said it's good for the blood.

My mother is coming over,
she can get it.

No, I'll get it.

Nili,

don't tell anyone that the doctor said
you could give birth any day now.

It's bad luck.

You hear?

Not even your mother.

Alright, relax.

I'm going down.

1, 2...

3, 4, 5...

Who is it?
- Me.

I was just leaving.

Mother...

Any moment now
I'm going to be a father.

The doctor told Nili she
could give birth any day now.

She's on pregnancy watch.

I could have a baby girl
at any moment.

Yaroni, you're so beautiful.

I've got to go.

Just drink something.

Tap water, Mom.

Hello, Eli.

What a house!

My house.
- Hi, Yaron.

Nili is resting at home
because of the pregnancy.

Hi. - Nili had to rest
because of the pregnancy.

Want a bite?

Nili couldn't come, she had
to rest because of the pregnancy.

Congratulations!
- Thank you.

What's up?

You lost weight!

Great body!

Looking good!

Anybody want anything?

Ariel.

I didn't sleep all night.

Next week I have
an important examination.

I hope it will be alright.

I'll take you to the hospital.

We'll all go.

Sit in the shade,
I'll get you something to eat.

Any moment now...

I could become a father.

The doctor told Nili she
could give birth any day now.

She has to stay in bed.

She can't exert herself,
so I can't f*ck her.

But it's moving.

Guys, let's get started.

Nice to see you guys.

Pretty, but she got fat.

She just got a fat ass.

A fat ass is a beautiful thing.

Eli, we're together.

North squad against
the Jerusalem squad?

Let's go.

1, 2, 3, go!

Start over.

1, 2, 3, go!

Who's catching?

Alright, let's go over the charges.

'"Defendant No.1:
The State of Israel.

'"Defendants 2-6 are policemen
from the counter-t*rror1st unit.

'"On the 10th of April 2007,

'"defendants 2-6, under the command
of officer Samuel Dabach... '"

who, I understand...
- Passed away.

'"Took part in a standard
counter-terrorism operation

'"to eliminate the t*rror1st
Aiman Sirtawi.

'"During the operation,
the following residents were k*lled:

'"Jamel El Zubeiyedi, 36 years old

'"and Khaled El Zubeiyedi,
12 years old.

'"Also severely wounded:
Mustafa El Zubeiyedi, 65 years old

'"and Moudjdawyi El Zubeiyedi,
age 5,

'"who has since been
severely handicapped.

'"The operation did in fact lead
to the elimination of the t*rror1st.'"

After all,
one of you k*lled him.

We all did.

Guys, given the collected testimonies
and Ariel's medical condition,

you're stating that Ariel was
responsible for the sh**ting

that hit the El Zubeiyedi family.

That's what we decided
after we discussed it.

It all depends on his consent.

We'll talk to him.

I'll talk to him.

Yaron will talk to him.

Thanks for coming.

Don't mention it.

We spoke about the trial yesterday.

It was agreed that you'd take
full responsibility.

Why?

The lawyer said nobody
is interested in the case.

The old wounded man d*ed and the
handicapped kid had problems before.

The witnesses who saw
the dead people were far away.

Because of your treatment,
you can't be tried.

By the time you get better,
it will be over.

Is that the lawyer's idea?

No.

It's mine and Danny's
and Shlomi's and Amir's.

You think it's okay?

Yes.

The lawyer asks you to go
to his office to sign some forms.

If things were the other way around,
you think you'd also?

I would.

I believe they would too.

Ariel?

You understand, don't you?

It sounds okay.

Dr. Ganz.
- How are you?

I looked for you.

Have some coffee.

Who is it?
- Me.

The elevator doesn't work.

I can't.

What happened?

Nothing.

Happy birthday.

Come on, Mom.

It's your birthday.

Yaron, stay a bit longer.

Mom.

Come on, we'll lift Mom up.

I've got to go.

Go help them.
- Just a second.

What happened?

Here I am.
- Let's go. Take this side.

Avi...

Each lift counts for 6 years,
plus one for next year.

Everyone counts.

1, 2, 3...

1, 2, 3...

We wish you
a happy birthday...

Happy birthday to you...

I heard you come home last night.

It was nice at Eli's yard.

He has a house with a lawn.

His wife inherited it.

After our daughter is born,
when we have a little more money,

we'll also buy something like that.

Grass is good for kids.

It will take us some time.

No, no, we'll buy.

What's going on with the trial?

Is it settled with Ariel
like you all decided?

I told you, he agreed.

He should sign the papers
at the lawyer's.

Otherwise it will be too late.

Why are you hurting me?

You know it makes sense.
They'll send you to jail.

They won't. - So they'll throw you
out of the unit. What then?

For Ariel it doesn't matter
either way.

Three years have gone by
and you haven't come back.

My Samuel,

you completed your m*llitary service
here, returned to the United States,

we met at the university
and got married.

Everything was open before you

but you missed Israel,

and that was your disease.

So you enrolled in the most
dangerous unit in the police

and what got you through it

was your love for your friends
and their love for you.

You left at night and I didn't know
where you were going

and when you'd get back.

I followed you all the way here

and now I'm all alone.

We will end with the song
you loved so much, '"Yoram'".

Samuel's brother, Jonathan,
will accompany on guitar.

The friends from the unit
are welcome to sing along with us.

He remained twenty years old

And time went by

Time that never touched his face

Time without him...

He was lost in the desert

And never returned

Only now can one speak

To him

Yoram, do tell me

What should we do
with a friend like you?

What do we do with your death?

With the memory of your existence?

And with the forgetfulness?

The son of a bitch stole our flowers!

What is this car?

It's an Arab from the North.

Look at his roof.

He hauls merchandise.

Look, he's going
to scratch your car.

If he scratches my car, he's dead.

Let's go.

I'm staying.

I want to think.

I'll meet you there.

Goodbye, fighters.

Goodbye, fighter.

She was born in a village

That never felt the sweet heat

Show me your smile

Smile at me while they sleep

She likes the radio pumping hard...

Are you from Tel Aviv?

Yaron.

Naama.

I'm a fighter policeman.

Touch it.

Touch what?

How old are you?

I'm 15.

Almost 15 and a half.

Why?

I'm feeling better.

It's salt. It cleanses.

It's salt.

Were you sleeping?

No.

This tree is good.

'"It's time for the poor to get rich
and for the rich to start dying.

'"The Jewish State has become
a state of masters and slaves.

'"Those who have a private plane
to take them wherever they want

'"and those who don't have
money for a bus ride.

'"An evil state yelling at us
to stay tranquil.

'"Tranquility is a lie,
silence is mud.'"

This sentence sounds
like an ad. - You think so?

Go on.

'"At least the Palestinians
know they're occupied... '"

Why mention the Palestinians here?

We have to make it simple.

Israel is the Western state with the
biggest gap between rich and poor.

World champions.

Let's hear her out.
- Sorry.

You're very pale.

Get him some juice.

Lie down on the couch.

It happens to him sometimes.

These words weigh down
on my head.

Should I continue?

Sure.

'"It's time for the poor to get rich
and for the rich to start dying.

'"The majority is numbed with
hatred of the other. This is obvious.

'"The minority,
perceiving itself as free,

'"is numbed with individual freedom
and free sex.

'"Today nothing
is less subversive than sex.

'"We, a group of comrades

'"who refuse to detach what
we think from the way we live.

'"We - at the age where supreme
happiness is not sleep or leisure.

'"We have decided to act.'"

The rest is on paper.
I worked on it yesterday.

Can we smoke here?

My mom is allergic,

but when they're abroad, it's okay.

'"Herzl (Father of Zionism) wrote:

'"The Jews, precisely because
of their history... '"

Forget about Herzl.

We'll skip that.

'"We, the daughters
and sons of the ugly Israel,

'"born in a cruel, r*cist, violent
and ignorant state,

'"announce to you,
the rich of Israel:

'"Being so rich in a country where
there is such poverty, is a crime.

'"Your corpses, like crosses,
will mark these scenes of crime.'"

1:40 minutes.
I paused it during the breaks.

It's still too sublime.

Revolution is not poetry,
it's prose.

You're addressing people
who will have to use weapons.

Revolutions always start too early,

when no reasonable person
would give it a chance.

This is why we must be
very strong with words.

Anyway, Shira, it must
be finished by tomorrow evening.

Your parents' living room
is a real palace.

I hate their house.
They're pigs.

But it's convenient.

So out of tune...

Who?
- The violinist.

Then replace him.
- What?

Take his violin and replace him.

Give it to me
for one moment, please.

Play.

Beautiful.

You enjoyed it?

Now pay up.

Are you home?
- Yes.

Are you alone?
- Yes.

I wanted to tell you that...

I found in my father's drawers
all sorts of leaflets...

and sheets of paper
from when he...

One moment.

Oded?

One moment.

I think my father
wrote this himself.

'"A revolutionary
is a doomed man

'"with no sentiments, no
emotional ties, not even a name.

'"His true nature is the opposite
of romanticism, of sentimentality.'"

Are you listening?

Yes.

'"A doomed man.

'"Friendship, love,
family relations,

'"he brutally represses it all, for the
sake of a cold and absolute desire.'"

'"One pleasure, one compensation,
one solace,

'"one solemn satisfaction.

'"The joy of destruction,
the success of the revolution.'"

Wow.

I wonder if I was already born
when he wrote this.

Ours is just as good.
Better.

Not everyone has a poet.

Oded, I have to go now.

I also have to hang up.

Bye, Shira.

I bought some pastries.

They smell good, Dad.

It's from the new place.
Really tasty.

I'm starving.

Bring some cheese,
I'll slice a tomato.

Olives and olive oil.

I'll just take
a quick shower first.

Sit down, relax.

Tranquility is a lie.

Silence is mud.

Oded, what's with you?
You're a bit hysterical lately.

I'm not hysterical, I'm happy.

Eat while it's still hot.

Why the sudden happiness?

Did you meet with Shira today?

A drink?

Got a w*apon?

A g*n.

Israeli women...

Israeli women...

You go with girls?

What?

You into girls too?

I don't know.

I'll take you on my motorcycle.
- Israeli women...

On Mars...

They wear a combat vest

And a uniform

Israeli woman -
It's no fun here

Israeli woman -
It's no fun here.

Thank you very much.

And now, something special.

Yes, I'm Vanunu
(Israeli atom-b*mb spy)

I'm Vanunu

Yes, I'm Vanunu

Under the table, watching TV

Yes, I'm Vanunu

Staring at the waitress

Whose neck veins remind me

Of a kite string

Yes, I'm Vanunu...

I sing and play keyboards,

but I'm a dancer, a poet,
a thinker, 27 years old.

I'm everywhere with everyone.

Who are you, Ionely girl?

I'm 22.

In two days I might be
changing the order of creation

and vanish.
- A poet?

Listen.

'"It's time for the poor to get rich
and for the rich to start dying.

'"Not outside of nature,
rather within it, does money circulate.

'"It breathes and exhales,
goes up and down, never sleeps.

'"It sucks on the bones it hasn't
devoured, forever hungry.'"

It's a beautiful poem,
but it's not mine.

So I switched the words:

'"It's time for the poor to get rich
and for the rich to start dying.'"

I wish.

Thank you.

I have a g*n in my bag.

Want to see it?

I'm also a rebel.

No.

You're a big talker.

You're making fun of me.

You monkey.

Yes?

Ma'am, there's a Michael here,
he wants to come up.

He was here earlier
but you didn't answer.

I'm Oded's father.

Tell her it's important.

She can see you.

I'm not here.
- Shira, listen, it's important.

Sir, you can't disturb her.

Shira, I know.

I found it in Oded's bag
and he told me...

So now you're going
to tell somebody? - No.

I thought about this all night.

He won't want
to be my son anymore.

Can I come up?

You have no reason
to come up here.

'"It's time for the poor...
and for the rich... '"

I've been writing these things for
30 years, but people here are idiots.

All the exploitation here
and everyone's happy.

Let me come up.

Sir, please.

I hear how Oded talks about you.

He loves you.

One moment.
Oded is my son.

You know he's weak
and easy to influence.

Shira, please ask him
not to come.

Send him away.
He will listen to you.

If not, anything that happens
to Oded will be because of you.

If I could, I would do it myself,
without anyone else.

But I can't.

I'm sorry, Shira.

Either he comes up
or he leaves. It's too noisy.

You're right.
- I'm begging you!

Oded's dad, I understand you
but I can't help you.

Now, please leave.
I'm hanging up.

I need to tell you something.

Last night my father went
through my bag and found the g*n.

I had to tell him.

He wants to come with us,
to take part in the mission.

I told him it's impossible.

He said he'll do anything we do,

but if we don't let him come,
he'll ruin everything.

He's downstairs.
He came with me.

What are you doing?

Make sure the door is closed.

The shutters.

Now I have to sh**t you
in the head.

Nathanel, I'm sorry...

If we're serious,
I have to sh**t you in the head.

Come in.

My father says
that I'm joining you all

and going on the mission tomorrow,

I'm doing it all because of you.

Because I love you.

Do you think so too?

That's something
only you can know.

Tomorrow we might die.

Shira...

Now, leave.

But I want to stay with you.

It's impossible.

Why? We're out of time
and I love you.

If I loved you, tomorrow
we would die as lovers.

I love someone else.

Who?

The one we all love.

Does he know?

He doesn't know and he won't.

His head is not available for love.

Enough, Oded. You must leave.

They're already on their way.

How do I look?

This is crazy.
- What?

What, Dad?

Dad!

Odedi, we're not going.

Open the door now!

Traitor!

It's for you, Oded.

Because I love you.

I hate you!
I hate you!

Open this door right now!

I'll sh**t myself in the head.

You know I mean it.

I'm pointing the g*n
at my head.

Dad...

Where've you been?

You're smoking.

Let's begin.

Me and my daughter.

Can someone move the girls
out of the frame?

The couple and me.

Congratulations.

Take good care of her.

The couple and the fathers.

I'll take care of this...

The couple, the fathers,
the brothers and the sisters.

Congratulations.
- Thank you.

The couple, the fathers, the brothers,
the sisters and the mother.

The couple, the fathers, the brothers,
the sisters, the mother and the uncles.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

If anyone tries anything,
I'll sh**t him!

Nobody move!

No one move!

If anyone moves, we sh**t!

Stop him!

Hila, come here!

Hila!

Release my father!

I'm not leaving
without my father.

Release him or k*ll me.

Enough, they're crazy.
Go back upstairs.

No, Dad!

Move.

Move!

Where do you think you're going?

Sit down.

Do you want money?

Hello?

My name is Nathanel Brenner.

Listen carefully to what I say
so that you can pass it on.

We have kidnapped
the three criminal billionaires.

We demand to speak on TV.

If three TV crews
don't arrive immediately,

we will slaughter them.

Don't mess with us.

You saw what happened
to the cameraman.

Who's standing guard?
- I am.

Messages for Danny.

It's me.

I'm driving there.
I guess you are too.

Amir.

Hi, Amir.

I just wanted to tell you
that tonight is our night.

It's our w*r.

Yaron?

Ido, what's up?

On my way.

So am I.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

It's easy to dehydrate here.

Drink.

Thanks.

Come in.

They're sending the cameramen.

Yotam,

the cameramen are coming.
Get ready.

Do you have the text?

You've learned it by heart?

I prefer reading it.
I'm afraid I'll get confused.

Maybe someone else can read it?

Perhaps you?

There's no one else.

Out of all of us,
only you are worthy of this.

They will hide you.

Get out of here!

Nobody move.

Oded, go get them.

Who are these photographers?

We're taking photos
for the newspaper.

Until the TV crew gets here.

Hey!

sh**t this.

What are you doing?

More.

More.

More.

More.

What are you doing here?

Ariel got here first,
before everybody else.

Come on. Briefing.

I went to the lawyer's.
I signed everything.

Well done, hero.

The surgery in on Tuesday.

I'm going to the briefing.

May I?

May I also have some?

This son of a bitch isn't an Arab.

And also this son of a bitch
isn't an Arab.

This guy is worth 3 billion.

You counted?

Danny told me.

How's your wife doing?
- Good.

Want me to send you to her?

You wish.

Where's the photo of the girl?

Nathanel, the son
of the Regional Judge Brenner.

A member of the Socialist Struggle.

Arrested during illegal demonstrations.
He gives the orders.

Yotam:

He's the waiter
who sh*t the cameraman.

He's been catering here for
six months, collecting information.

He served as an officer
in the paratrooper unit.

Neutralize him first.

Michael:

A militant in the Avant-Garde
radical organization many years ago.

Arrests, demonstrations,
interrogations.

He's known.

Oded, the old guy's son.
All sorts of activities:

Against the Separation Wall,
Let the Animals Live, nonsense.

We don't know who she is.

We're dealing with t*rrorists here.

Not Arabs. Jews.

Inside there are very important
hostages. Pillars of our country.

People who hold
this country together.

We'll be moving
through two routs.

The parking squad:
Four flights of stairs,

parking, staircase, stay close to the
corridor walls. The staircase squad...

Watch out, there are
a lot of noise outside.

I counted at least
10 different voices.

That means there are
a lot more.

What's going on outside?

Nothing.

Enough!

What's all this nonsense?

A bunch of children living off
their parents, playing with g*ns.

You're a k*ller baby.

I'd lock you up in a pound for life.

You, don't you have anything better
to do than play with your son?

Don't you have a job?

Who the hell are you?
You perverts...

My father says:
'"Who do you think you are? '"

Megalomaniac babies who think
they know how to rule the world.

Starting revolutions
for workers who hate you...

Shut up, pig! - Because
they know they disgust you.

You're not a human being,
you're a bride.

You don't have a head,
you have a hairdo.

You don't have a face,
you have makeup.

You don't have breasts,
you have a matching lace bra.

You don't have a body,

you have a dress which you're
willing to k*ll and die for.

This...

is the size of your personality.

This is the most personal thing that
has ever and will ever happen to you.

And if you happen
to get out of here alive,

you will only continue to die.

You will continue to oppress the
slaves in your father's salt factory

and to be a sl*ve yourself.

A father's daughter,

a husband's wife,
a children's mother

and someone's mistress.

I'm not scared of you,
you midget.

The police will save us
and k*ll you.

And if by any chance
you'll end up in jail,

you'll be released in 20 years,

miserable, ugly.

At night you'll dream
of being like me.

Policemen, you are not our enemies.

Policemen, you are also oppressed.

Policemen, you are not our enemies.

Policemen, you are also oppressed.

Policemen, you are not our enemies.

Policemen, you are also oppressed...

I have a bad feeling.

I can't get hold of Nili, and she
could be giving birth any minute.

She'll manage without you.

Come on.

Grenade!

Come on.

Give me another one.
Grenade!

Grenade!

Grenade!

Okay?

Yes.

'"Policemen, you are also oppressed! '"

'"Policemen, you are also oppressed! '"

'"Policemen, you are also oppressed! '"

Odedi...

Get me some water.

Sit down.

The soldiers are going to k*ll us.

Nathanel is outside, nothing will
happen to him, but we are going to die.

Odedi, let's run out the door.

Something wrong?
- Nothing.

You're nothing.

What's going on?

It's pretty clear, what's going on
here, isn't it? - Yes, it is.

In two minutes we'll all be dead.
Can't you hear the noise outside?

I'll be dead, you'll be dead,
you'll all be dead.

Now, throw away your g*ns
and follow me outside.

Nathanel, listen to me.

If you're dead,
no one will hear you.

Come with me. We'll leave together,
we'll stand trial together...

Hey!

Stay away from the door!

What should we do now?

My love...

Let's leave everything
and get out.

Policemen,

listen to me.

We are not your enemies

and you are not ours.

Policemen, you are also oppressed.
