[bunniefuu]

Squad 2-8, what is your position?

We've crossed over.

GAZA ENVELOPE, ISRAEL

DHAHIRIYA, SOUTH OF HEBRON,

PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY

Abu Fadi.

May peace and God's mercy be upon you.

May peace and God's mercy be upon you.

God is great.

"Guide us on the straight path,

the path of those who

have received your grace;

not the path of those who

have brought down wrath,

nor of those who wander astray."

Amen.

You're coming to the

party tonight, right?

It's a family event, you

guys don't need me there.

We need you, man, I need you.

I'll think about it.

- Peace be upon you, Abu Fadi.

- Upon you be peace and God's blessing.

Listen, Bashar, as a

father, I can tell you

even if he hasn't seen you

in a long time, he loves you.

You're his son and he's just as

excited as you are, if not more.

Let's go.

- Should I tell him about Safaa?

- Let him adjust

before you tell him you're

in love with a Bedouin woman.

- You don't wanna k*ll the guy.

- God forbid.

- Today I'm gonna kick your ass.

- Is that so?

Let's box.

Jihad, they brought

everything you asked for.

- You have 30 minutes.

- Thanks, Itzik.

Can you pass me the ladle, Itzik?

Thanks.

Start mixing and melting the sugar.

Bravo, Jihad.

It's my father's

recipe. A family secret.

Ready, Itzik?

Careful, it's hot.

Wow. God bless your hands, Jihad.

Thank you, Itzik.

- Well, well!

- It's here!

- It smells amazing.

- It's here!

Guys, clear the table.

Ahmad, make some coffee.

Here you go, guys, a farewell treat.

Kudos to you.

Before I even came here,

I heard about Jihad Hamdan,

the father of prisoners.

The man who didn't break down

during the 1990 hunger strike

until they renewed visiting

rights for everyone,

Fatah, Hamas, everyone.

The man who always gives advice,

who knows when to lend a hand

and when to break it.

It's been an honor to

meet you, Abu Bashar.

And I'm sure you will

continue to fight bravely

for the sake of Palestine,

the Resistance and the prisoners.

- God willing.

- God willing.

Nice!

Protect! Protect! Protect!

You've got a fight in two

weeks, how will you win?

Remember what I told you

after the fight in Ramallah?

You can't rush it, understand?

Make your opponent work,

let him att*ck so that he thinks

he's b*ating you, wear him down,

and then knock him out!

He'll never see it

coming. Got it, buddy?

Fight smart, let's go.

Bravo, champ. Keep it up and

listen to everything Abu Fadi says.

Bashar, bring out the mattresses.

- But, Uncle, I'm in the middle of this.

- Go. You're not focused anyway.

- Well done, Abu Fadi.

- Thanks.

Will we see you tonight at the party?

Abu Fauzi, I told Bashar

it's a family event.

So what? You're part

of the family, Abu Fadi.

Better to sit alone at home

all night, watching soccer?

Come and meet my brother,

he's heard so much about you.

God willing.

My son is looking for you. Okay?

Where to?!

I'll be back soon.

I know where you're going,

I want to come with you.

Bashar, go practice.

Let me come, I'll watch over you.

Go, practice those 150 hook

punches you owe me. Go on.

Where's Fauzi?

I thought I was meeting with him.

Give me your mobile.

- Where are the goods?

- Who are they?

Don't ask questions, Abu

Fadi. Where are the goods?

In the trunk.

Hands off.

Open it.

DEMOLITION BLOCK

Wait. Money first.

Have Fauzi contact me if

he wants anything else.

Ziad!

My phone.

Be careful.

Steve, do you have eye contact?

Affirmative.

- Sagi, Avihai?

- We're on their tail.

Keep this distance, it's good.

Keep track of them.

We finally have a real sh*t

at getting that bastard Fauzi.

Every day he's out on

the loose is a disaster.

They drove into a car wash.

Keep an eye out. Fauzi

might join them there.

- They went inside, I can't see them.

- Let me know if you see anything.

- You, too, Sagi and Avihai.

- Copy.

Ever since I got here 20 years ago,

I've been thinking about her every day.

But she

I don't know. Perhaps

it's been too long for her.

Too many years.

Give her a chance, she'll

know how to accept you back.

I feel like a kid, I

swear, my heart is pounding.

Go on, buddy, so you

don't miss your ride.

What are you doing?

PRISON SERVICE

Get that off of me!

Habits die hard, huh?

Congratulations on your release.

I'll never forget you guys.

- Goodbye, Abu Samara.

- Farewell.

"I, Jihad Hamdan, hereby declare

that: A. I will avoid recommitting

the offenses of which

I have been convicted,

B. I will not join any t*rror1st

or other unauthorized organization."

Farewell, Jihad!

The father of prisoners!

Congratulations!

Open gate seven.

Thank you, Itzik.

- May God be with you, Jihad.

- Thank you, my friend.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

FAUZI HAMDAN

Any news?

Nope. I guess their

truck was really dirty.

Eli, they've been in there a long time.

Damn it, where is that son of a bitch?

Zoom in.

The pickup is on the move!

Fauzi isn't in the truck, do you

copy? Fauzi isn't in the truck.

There was no canvas on

the truck bed before.

They've covered the back of the truck.

Approach carefully and

look at what's underneath.

Eli, we're approaching an

intersection. Now's a good time.

Keep your eyes open,

something smells fishy.

Zoom in.

- They've booby-trapped the truck.

- What did you see?

Two gas tanks with cables attached.

Looks like one big expl*sive device.

They stopped there to

booby-trap the truck.

- What about Fauzi?

- He's not with them.

- I'm initiating Course of Action B.

- Eli, we don't have Fauzi,

we don't know where they're

headed or what they plan next.

Have them arrested outside the village.

They've got expl*sives that

could go off at any second, Gabi.

All right.

Lead them to an open area and

make it look like an accident.

- Initiating Course of Action B. Confirm.

- Copy.

Zoom in.

- You can clearly see the intersection.

- I see.

What is this crap?!

Relax, Hamdi, relax.

Good morning.

There's a pothole up the

road, use the nearby pathway.

Don't worry, we'll

drive carefully. Move.

- What did you say?

- Go. There's no pothole.

Are you deaf?

What don't you understand? Get

off the road or I call the police.

- Okay, okay, no problem.

- Move along.

Done. They're off the road.

Stop, stop.

Ibrahim, get out of the car!

All right. Leave the area, stat.

- You owe me Fauzi. This isn't over.

- I'm on it.

And I want to reevaluate

Doron's status in the village.

Listen.

If scouts from the Arab Emirates

come to the tournament in Amman,

- it could be your big chance.

- You think so?

Why not? Keep practicing.

Win another medal

and you might end up

moving your family to Dubai.

I'd take Safaa with me.

Slow down, kiddo. You'll be with her,

but be smart about it, don't

let anyone run your life. Got it?

You know when I last saw my kids?

All because my ex-wife convinced

the judge that I'm dangerous?

But they're your kids!

Don't worry, she's not the boss

of me, neither she nor the courts.

I'll never give up on my kids.

- There you are.

- God bless you.

Hayfa, let me carry that.

Rest, Abu Fadi, you've worked so hard.

Way to go, Abu Fadi.

You look hungry. Can I

get you something to eat?

Are you saying I'm fat?

Taking a swing at me?

Of course not.

You look okay for your age

Um Bashar, sit down and rest.

I can't, I'm too excited.

Hayfa, what time is it?

- Don't we need to leave soon?

- In 30 minutes, Mom. Go rest.

- Rest.

- I'll rest.

Thank you, Abu Fadi.

- What a warm welcome.

- Bless your heart.

- Excuse me, Um Bashar, I have to answer.

- Go ahead.

- Yes?

- Can you talk?

- Yes. How's it going?

- Not great.

We managed to foil an att*ck

with one severely wounded

and one dead, on their side,

but Fauzi wasn't with them.

- Okay.

- Which means he'll be lying low now

and will be even harder to find.

Abu Fadi, Hayfa asks if

you're staying for lunch.

He'll suspect we're on to him.

And you're there with his family.

If it were up to me,

I'd get you outta there.

- Don't be silly.

- Anyway, Gabi wants you to come here

- to discuss our next move.

- Okay, I'll stop by later.

Okay, bro, see you soon. We miss you.

Bye.

Sorry.

- Here you go, Abu Fadi.

- God bless your hands.

- Enjoy.

- Can't, I'm on a diet. Thanks.

Hands off!

Eat up, my darling.

- Abu Maher.

- Greetings.

- My dear friend.

- Welcome, welcome, welcome.

- We're honored to have you here.

- Please sit down.

Good to see you, Abu Rami.

- How's your son doing?

- Praise God, he's counting the days.

So Fauzi Hamdan managed

to escape once again.

- That bastard has nine lives.

- Yeah, he's lucky.

But his luck will run out someday,

- and, God willing, today is that day.

- God willing.

So

where's Fauzi?

What's he up to? Who's helping him?

What about his uncle, Jihad Hamdan,

"the father of prisoners,"

who was released today?

Will he join them? The

man has blood on his hands,

he's k*lled five collaborators

and planned t*rror1st att*cks.

Talk to me, guys.

As far as we know,

Jihad Hamdan isn't active

and no longer poses a thr*at.

As for Fauzi, we don't

know his whereabouts.

But we do know that Hamas

is hard at work here.

I'm sick of coming here to

hear what I already know.

Listen carefully,

tonight you and I are

going to see the general

to sign our security coordination deal.

But if Fauzi keeps carrying out

att*cks like the one we foiled today,

the deal goes straight to hell!

- Abu Rami.

- Yes?

Go back to Hebron and leave no

stone unturned until you find Fauzi.

Will do.

Get Captain Ayub his favorite coffee

- and halawiyat from Abu Sammer.

- No sweets for me, pal.

Look at me. I'm on a diet.

Peace be upon you, Captain Ayub!

- Congrats on the promotion!

- Thank you.

Head of District! I remember

when you were just a cadet.

And I remember when you were an

inmate, before the Oslo Accords,

- with a big head of hair.

- 30 years ago

- when you were 30 kilos lighter.

- You son of a

And you're pushing halawiyat on me?!

HEBRON

- Yes.

- Hold on.

You're patched into a secure line.

Fauzi, my friend, you made

the right decision today.

- Hamdi and Ibrahim were k*lled.

- May God have mercy on their souls.

Now, listen carefully, son.

Our Shahids knew the

craft, they're no saps.

Something's fishy. You

can smell it a mile away.

I assure you, Abu Mohammed,

I'll check everything out.

Listen, my friend, we're at the start

of a very long campaign, but if

there's a collaborator among you,

all our work goes down the drain.

Advance only according to plan

and check your men thoroughly

because the collaborator could

even be the person closest to you.

- Will do, Abu Mohammed, trust me.

- I trust you, son,

but you have two men down.

Should we pause everything?

No, Abu Mohammed, we've

got others, thank God.

Fine. Their security coordination

meeting is tonight at ten.

- May God be with us.

- God willing.

Take care.

He says there's a collaborator

among us. Someone close, maybe.

You know Abu Mohammed,

he suspects everyone.

What about the boxing

coach? You trust him?

Abu Fadi?

I've been following him

all week, he seems harmless.

Your father even spoke with his

former boxing club in Jerusalem, right?

And I've spoken to his ex-wife.

- Then who could it be?

- Let it go, buddy,

remember, we're attending

a big party tonight.

Check out this beauty.

There he is!

Welcome back, welcome back!

Open the gate!

Welcome back, dear brother!

My beautiful daughter!

Welcome back, my brother!

Welcome back!

- We've missed you so much.

- Bashar!

Look at you!

Let's go, brother.

Welcome back.

Let's go.

- Now you tell me?

- They just sprung it on me, too, Gali.

- When is it?

- In about two hours.

I can bring the kids, but what

will I tell the family center?

I'll talk to them, okay?

- What's their number?

- Don't you have their number?

- No, I don't.

- Okay.

- 03

- Hold on.

Jihad, you should see how big

the boxing club has gotten.

Bashar, why don't we take

him there tomorrow morning?

You'll see what a champ your son is.

Did you tell him about

the fight in Amman?

Not yet.

Amman? Really?

And look over there.

- Uncle, don't start.

- Why not, Bashar? I'm filling him in.

The Jews have seized the Tarawnes'

land to build that settlement.

But Bashar is right.

Today we celebrate my brother's release!

You're in for a warm welcome-back party.

- Hello.

- Hello.

You have exactly one hour. I

must disclose that the visit

- will be filmed and recorded.

- Fine.

And that I'll have to stop the visit

- if there's any misconduct.

- Fine. Can I go in?

- Sure.

- Thanks.

SUPERVISED VISITATION CENTER

- Dad!

- Hey.

Hey, sweetie. I've missed you so much.

I kept hearing footsteps

outside and it wasn't you.

- Where's Ido?

- On a field trip.

Well, more time for us.

Dad, why are you dressed like that?

I wanted to impress the social worker.

She scares me. Looks kinda mean.

So what do you want to play?

Nothing, their games suck.

They suck? Okay, then what should we do?

- What are those?

- That one's for Ido

- and that one's for you.

- Yes!

Is it a new phone? Mom said I

could get one next year, but

It's nice, too. Thanks, Dad.

- Do you really like it?

- Yes.

Good. I'll help you put it on.

Just a sec

Your dad is all thumbs when

it comes to these things.

My sausage fingers are too big.

There, got it!

I missed you.

I missed you, too, my baby.

Dad, I'm not a baby.

You'll always be my baby. Remember that.

It's important to keep the routine

- and come here after school

- Yes.

- Don't take this service for granted.

- You're right.

Hey.

- Hi, how are you?

- Fine. Why isn't Ido here?

He couldn't make it

on such short notice.

- Did you tell him I was coming?

- Let's end this visit here

- and schedule another one.

- One second, okay?

- Did you tell him I was coming?

- Of course I did,

but he had some outdoor activity

he didn't want to miss out on.

Fine. I want to call him, even

if she listens in on the call.

I'm asking you to end this visit

and we'll schedule the next one.

It's the third time he hasn't

shown up. There's always an excuse!

I want to see my son,

what's the big deal?

- He didn't want to come, okay?

- Really? Or did you stop him?

- Now's not the time

- Listen to me, he's my son

Hey! Don't touch me!

It's all right.

- Bro, you want some coffee?

- Coffee won't help.

Don't be a p*ssy. It's just

a little sleep deprivation.

- Look! The Rocky of Dhahiriya is here!

- Well, well

The Rocky of Dhahiriya

What's up, bro? I've missed you.

- What's up, man?

- Hey, bro.

Bro, you've buffed up! Are

you training around the clock?

What's up, hot stuff?

- You look refreshed.

- Refreshed, my ass

I haven't slept in two months, you d*ck.

Just for that, I'm adding

you to the babysitter draw.

That's not a good idea.

- Hey, fatsos!

- Whoa! There she is.

- Bro, it gets better.

- When?

It's no big deal.

- How's it going?

- What's up?

Sorry. Hi, I'm Doron.

- You guys never met?

- Nope.

Yoav, meet Doron. Doron, meet Yoav.

- Careful, she's a k*ller.

- I'm always careful.

- How's it going?

- Good.

- What do you say?

- About the guy?

Nerd.

- He didn't tell me it'd be a nightmare.

- Now it's my fault.

- I thought we were friends!

- I told you, you didn't listen.

- Nurit!

- Hey, fatsos, the food is here.

Listen to me, sweetheart,

if people ever tell you your

biological clock is ticking,

- don't listen to any of them.

- Don't worry, I'm not planning to.

Just make sure your

boyfriend's on the same page.

Wow, you really went to town, bro!

She's engaged?!

- Yeah?!

- You're kidding!

- Are you nuts?

- You're totally outta the loop, huh, bro?

- Babies are the real Fauda, folks.

- Come on, bro, all babies cry.

Hush, sweetie

Hey, honey.

What time is it?

Come here, sweetheart.

Don't you want to say hello?

No? Okay, okay, you

don't have to. You win.

Let the doctor handle it.

Come here, Michael, we need to talk.

- May I?

- You can have him for good.

Come here, little one. That's right.

What?

- I look like crap?

- You look amazing, sweetie.

Just ignore me.

What's going on, bro?

You guys need help?

We're getting help, bro.

My mom comes every day,

that's not the issue. It'll get

better. They grow up eventually, right?

They sure do, bro. Don't sweat it.

Good morning.

- Are you a nurse?

- Sort of.

What's your name?

Hamdi.

Hamdi what?

What's your last name?

Hamdi, my friend, to be honest,

you're dead.

They said on the radio that

the blast k*lled two men.

"They d*ed as Shahids."

So these are your options now:

be rational, talk to me,

and you may end up in an Israeli prison

where you'll get to study,

even call your parents.

The second option is

"the prison of the dead"

where nobody knows you exist.

What do you say?

Die!

Tell me your last name!

Suliman, you bitch!

Hamdi Suliman, from where?

Khan Yunis.

Please stop

Where in Khan Yunis?

The camp please, stop

The camp in Gaza?! Are

you a commando soldier?!

How did you cross over?!

By sea? Through a tunnel?

How many are there of you?

You know you'll tell me eventually,

so why suffer?

- Is he unconscious?

- His morphine drip fell out.

Gabi, we have a problem.

- Can I let them in?

- Yes.

Congrats.

- I see you got a secretary.

- She came with the office.

Nice office.

- We didn't bring a gift.

- No, we didn't.

Listen, Dana spoke with Fauzi's

guy, the one who survived the blast.

Poor guy. Instead of 72

virgins, he gets Dana.

Funny. You know what's even funnier?

That he's a Hamas commando soldier

working for Hani Al

Jabari, Abu Mohammed.

- Understand?

- Hani's soldier? Can't be.

Listen to me carefully.

Fauzi Hamdan is operating

a commando unit from within

Gaza right here in the West Bank,

which means we're in a state

of emergency as of right now.

- Okay, Gabi, I'm on it.

- Are you?

Because you've been in

Dhahiriya for six months

and all we've done is foil an att*ck

which could've been done by drone!

- Gabi, calm down.

- I'm sorry. I know you're doing your job,

but tonight we're signing

the security coordination

deal with the Authority,

so you need to level

up. Go back to Dhahiriya,

get exposed if there's no other choice,

but catch Fauzi before he

ignites the entire West Bank.

- Is that clear?

- Yes.

Thank you, dear, welcome.

You smell nice, and

you're quite handsome!

I bet you could find a nice bride

here so we can marry you off already.

I can get married even when I'm

40, unlike you, you old maid.

Shut up.

- Hello and welcome.

- Peace be upon you.

Thanks for coming.

You probably prefer a

girl with a degree, right?

- Have you seen your father?

- He's probably in the shower.

He's still in his room.

- Relax, Mom.

- I can't.

Welcome, how are you?

What is it?

Noor, I'm so sorry.

Sorry for what, my love?

For ruining your life.

You didn't ruin anything.

We're starting fresh.

It's been so long.

At least you're still handsome.

Men age nicely,

unlike us.

You're as pretty as the day we met,

if not prettier.

Good answer.

Now come greet our

guests before they leave.

Dad, you know him? He

went to school with me.

Your friend.

Jihad, Jihad,

come outside, someone's

here to say hello.

Abu Bashar.

- Welcome home.

- God bless you.

It's great to be back home, huh?

Thank you, Abu Jamal,

but it's not necessary.

My friend, it's a gift from

the Movement, you're one of us.

Rest for a week or two, come

by, and we'll find a job for you.

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you, Abu Jamal,

I'll make sure he comes by.

- Very well. Welcome home.

- Bless you.

Thanks for coming, it's been an honor.

Be nice, for God's sake.

He can get you set for life.

You're right, my brother. Don't worry.

Peace be upon you.

Bashar!

Come meet the man of the hour.

Dad!

- Dad, meet my coach, Abu Fadi.

- Nice to meet you.

He won fifth place in the

national middleweight category.

- Nice to meet you.

- Same here. Your son is amazing.

Sadly, I didn't get to raise him,

but I guess he was in good hands.

Thanks for all the work you do with him,

Nasser says he's really improved.

He sure has, he's very gifted.

- Thank you.

- Nice meeting you.

- Hungry?

- Starving.

We got another update

from the interrogator.

They're not alone.

At least one more t*rror1st squad

crossed over with them. Perhaps more.

How'd they get in?

How'd they cross over?

That bastard Hani Al Jabari will do

anything to get to the Leadership.

That's what scares me the most.

Are you on your way there, buddy?

Yes, I'll be there in half an hour.

- All right, see you there.

- Bye.

COORDINATION AND LIAISON HQ,

NORTH OF RAMALLAH

All right. Bye.

Ziad.

I hear two men were k*lled today.

Who prepared the b*mb, you or Fauzi?

Just drop it, Abu Fadi,

mind your own business.

Listen to me, you guys are amateurs

and that could bring me down!

Take me to Fauzi, I want to talk to him.

I'm telling you once again, drop it.

You're kids.

The next b*mb you build

will blow up in your face!

Let me help you. If you're planning

to do something big, do it right!

Abu Fadi, how do you know

we're planning something big?

I know more than you think.

Take me to Fauzi, I'll

tell him all about it.

You know, just today Fauzi said

there's a collaborator among us.

- He mentioned you, Abu Fadi.

- Me? A collaborator?! You bastard!

Who are you, Abu Fadi?

A boxing coach who carries expl*sives?

Jihad sees you as one of the family.

This really is a day of celebration

having a party for Abu Bashar

and taking down a

collaborator and his captains.

You bastard, you think I don't know

They're on time for a change.

Hello?

- Ayub's been hit!

- Gabi?!

I need backup!

Gabi!

Gabi!
