MOSSAD SAFE HOUSE, NORTH LEBANON

[in Arabic] Nimer?

- Yes, I'm Nimer.

- Nice to meet you.

Your rooms are ready.

[man] Come on out.

[slams door shut]

- What's the latest news?

- They've blocked the main roads,

but it'll take them hours

to cover more areas.

- Do people come by here?

- No, it's closed till next season.

Don't worry, you're safe here.

- For now.

- Let's go.

[Doron] Nimer, I need a secured phone.

I'm glad we've met.

I've heard a lot about you.

[in English]

What? Do you think I'm stupid?

[in English] No. He's not dead.

I saw the bloodstains there,

g*nsh*t marks too.

He was wounded,

but we took care of him.

I gave him blood transfusions.

[Doron in Arabic] Are you kidding me?

[In English] What's your deal?!

You think we'd let him die?

[in English] He's with Haj Ali now.

In the Saifi neighborhood in Beirut.

I know where he is.

Why should I believe you?

Because you've got my sister

and my wife. That's why.

[Omar] Look, Haj Ali must know

that I'm collaborating with you.

He won't risk it.

You don't have much time.

He'll get the captain out of Lebanon

as soon as possible.

Where will he go?

I'll help you get to him,

but first you have to

Where will he go?

- Tell me that you'll help me.

- Where will he go?

To Iran.

Aisha.

[sobs softly]

[in Arabic] Aisha, we'll be okay,

I promise.

[sobbing] How could you do this to him?

Omar loves you,

he always talked about you,

said you're his dearest family member.

That Jew lied to me.

They fooled me, said that Omar

needs my help, so I came.

I swear,

I'd never do anything to hurt him.

But you did,

you've ruined our lives

and now they'll k*ll him!

[Aisha continues to sobs]

No.

I know them.

They just want the Jew who was abducted.

Once he's found, they'll let you go.

They'll never let him go.

He'll die, I know that.

[Aisha cries]

[in English] Raphael, I believe him,

he has no reason to lie.

Sure he does. He just needs

to drag it out until they find him.

Doron,

a unit is on the way to evacuate.

Stay put and wait for them, is that clear?

Raphael, let me check the area.

If it's true, I can get him

and make sure he's safe.

[Raphael] Did you not just hear me?

We can't have Gaza again, Doron.

You don't need more death

on your conscience.

We paid heavily for that.

Roger, I got it.

[in Arabic] Nimer,

come here, buddy. Sit down.

Listen, I need a car, it's urgent.

Look, I don't know if you realize it,

but you're wanted throughout the sector.

They have your photos and descriptions.

All Lebanese forces are after you guys.

- So forget the car.

- I'll be back in an hour.

You'll be caught, especially with a car.

We were ordered to keep you here safely.

You'll be staying here

until your friends arrive.

Okay, my good man?

Listen, I need to get

to the Saifi neighborhood. Any idea how?

[door squeaks]

[three short beeps]

[In English] Here, here, here.

[knock at door]

Sagi, Aliza.

Aliza, this is Sagi, my husband.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- [Aliza] Hi.

- We met last time.

[closes door]

I was in Jenin,

so I bought you some cookies.

I'm sorry, my love.

I am too.

- I want to tell you something.

- Hold on, let me.

I know what to say.

I realized it's all good.

It's fine if you

don't want to have it.

Or if you don't want any babies.

You know what I thought

when I first found out?

I thought about Avihai's children.

How they're scarred for life.

But at least their mom is normal.

We're both in this sh*t,

with no intention of quitting, ever.

So why have a child?

It's abusive, isn't it?

It's just so mean.

- Sweetheart, you'd be a great mom.

- [Nurit sobs]

Listen. You'd be an amazing mom.

The best mom in the world, I promise.

f*ck it. Some people

do this job and live forever. I swear.

Others just cross the street

and get hit by a truck.

[both chuckle]

Whatever you decide, my love.

I'm with you.

"Through it all."

BEIRUT, SAIFI NEIGHBORHOOD

[in Arabic] God bless you. Thank you.

How are you, my good man?

Can you hear me well?

Excellent. What do you see?

The Saifi neighborhood is beautiful,

with beautiful houses and people.

- [Nimer] You gotta live here.

- Do you see the house?

Of course, what a silly question.

[camera shutter clicks]

Right near the cafe, in great condition.

With guards, cameras, just perfect.

I'm sure someone famous lives there.

Listen, this is great.

Can you approach the house?

Are the guards armed?

Any information will help.

Alright, I'll see what I can do.

[Nimer] I came as close as I could.

I think the guards are armed.

Can you peek inside the compound?

I can't see anything.

I have to hang up, we'll talk.

- Peace be upon you.

- Can I help you?

Yes, actually. I'm Nimer,

a real-estate agent.

I'm property hunting.

Show me your ID.

No problem.

Here you go.

We're based in the south,

but we'd like to expand,

if there's anything in your area

and you can help us.

There's nothing for you here.

[Nimer] I'm about to head back.

A little more, buddy,

I need something more substantial.

Look, they're starting to suspect me,

it's too risky. I must leave right now.

[Doron] Stay there a bit longer, buddy.

- [Nimer] Alright.

- Thank you, my friend.

[Raphael in English] You want to tell me

why the hell you sent him on a mission

in the middle of Beirut

without getting approval?

[Doron in English] Raphael, look at

the photos. He's definitely there.

It's not definite, it's speculation.

We have no idea who's there,

and you're risking the life of that agent.

Are you willing to risk

our chance to actually rescue him?!

[Raphael] Doron, enough.

Retrieve that agent, immediately!

[camera shutter clicking]

[tense music]

- [doctor in Arabic] Breathe.

- [labored breathing]

Again.

[Asi] Raphael.

[in English] Get a satellite image

from above that house.

[in Arabic] What's going on? Huh?

What are these clothes for?

Don't tell me I'm moving again.

I finally got used to this "suite".

Unfortunately,

you're still on the go, Captain.

Doctor, how is he?

He's fine, getting stronger.

He can travel.

- You'll give us meds for the road, yes?

- Of course.

- Meds, inhalers, adrenaline, the works.

- Enough, I beg you, Haj.

Don't move me again. Let me rest.

[Haj Ali] We have no choice, pal.

Your friends are after us

and that puts us at risk.

We're taking you to a safe place.

I gave you everything,

what more do you want?

Don't be scared. They treat

their prisoners very well over there,

especially those who cooperate.

I beg of you, in the name of Allah,

let me stay here.

I'll do anything you ask,

just don't send me there.

Have mercy, Haj, for God's sake.

For God's sake, let me stay here.

- Let me stay here, for God's sake!

- Calm down and be quiet!

Prepare him for transport.

[in English] Well?

[Dana] Doron, we're casing the compound,

but we can't see enough.

Listen, they're going to take him

out of Lebanon. We don't have time!

The fact that Haj Ali's is there

doesn't mean Ayub is there.

Raphael, I've given you

all the necessary indications.

Doron, just wait for instructions.

This time, we do things right..

Can't we get anything inside the villa

to see what's going on?

We're not familiar with the layout.

Planting a device could be dangerous.

Haj Ali is carefully guarding

something there.

Omar believes Haj Ali will leave

after midnight. So, we have to move.

If he manages to smuggle him out of

Lebanon, we'll never see him again.

Do you understand?

Then what's your idea?

We have no info, no plans,

and no clear indication

the c*ptive is actually there.

[man] The unit won't do it.

Then we'll do it.

With all due respect, Eli,

you're not the one deciding here.

[Raphael] I agree that this

would be a su1c1de mission.

Until we're certain that Ayub is alive,

I won't risk everyone else's lives.

What if this is another Ron Arad?

Is that what we want?

Mustafa Dirani? Sheikh Obeid?

Do you want that?

You've sent agents to risk their lives

based on a lot less intel.

And we never found Ron Arad.

All we found was

a little more intel on him.

Remember? What about Shalit.

The whole IDF was sent in

after the kidnapping,

every possible unit,

just to gather some intel.

- So cut this bullshit.

- [Raphael] Enough.

This discussion is done.

It'll resume once you get

a solid indication

that Ayub is inside that house.

We're done.

Raphael, can we talk?

We can, yes.

This is a great mistake.

I understand.

But if people get k*lled in this mission,

I'll be the one who has to give answers,

not you, and not Eli.

The PM put me in charge of this.

And I won't be thinking twice.

I'll be thinking a thousand times.

I know. But this time

we don't have time to think.

Act now. Right now.

[birds chirping outside]

[in Arabic] When we were kids, in Jenin,

we'd eat awameh at the marketplace.

Omar loved awameh.

All the candy vendors knew him

and gave him sweets behind Mom's back.

Fleeing to Israel got him really down.

He was always sad, didn't understand

why we couldn't return home.

To cheer him up, Mom would take him

to the marketplace in Ramla

but he didn't like the awameh there.

Said it was too sweet.

[in English] Is the meeting done?

He said yes.

Yes!

For f*ck's sake.

You better start praying,

because sh*t's getting real.

[In English] Disguised as a civilian boat,

the Navy commandos will land us on shore

and we'll team up

with a collaborator up on the hill.

[in Arabic] God willing, it'll work out.

[In English] Great.

[in English] Go ahead. Go get ready

Sagi, sit tight.

Listen, if you feel

you have to sit this one out, that's okay.

It's fine with me.

Someone from another team

will fill in for you,

no one will say a word.

- Eli, I'm good.

- Are you sure?

Mm-hm. Let's go get Gabi.

I just feel sorry for Nurit.

She'll be crushed she can't come.

She's better off, trust me.

So, did you go and see her?

Did you talk?

[chuckles]

We reached an understanding.

You know what she's like.

You can never know.

That's true.

- So, am I good?

- You're good.

[in English] This is crazy,

it's just three rooms away.

Are you going to argue with me again?

Those are the rules, mami. What can I do?

[Aliza] Okay, hop in.

Ah!

- What?

- It's nothing, just a stomach cramp.

- Nurit, can you show me where?

- Here.

- In the lower abdomen?

- Yes.

- Okay, let's do an ultrasound.

- What for? I don't need it.

Sweetie, you can't ignore this kind

of pain in your condition. Let's go.

[door squeaks open]

[in Arabic] Is there anything you need?

Can I speak with him?

Come.

[in Arabic] They sent you

to speak with me?

To interrogate me?

No.

I asked to see you.

Why?

Haven't you done enough damage?

How could you believe them?

You of all people.

"How?" This isn't the first time, Omar.

You've always come to me

after you got beaten up,

owed money or got arrested.

It's different, I was a kid back then.

Didn't you realize

they'd do anything to find me?

Didn't you?

Don't you see how they're using you?

How could you,

a decorated police officer, get so duped?

Enough! Shut up!

I thought your life was in danger.

They sent me fake videos of you,

they knew how to push my buttons.

[in English] Don't wait for me.

Something's come up

and it might take some time.

[Hagit] Okay, how long?

A few days, I think.

Then I'll talk to them.

Okay. Don't think about that now.

Do what you need to do, be careful and

come back soon, yeah?

Of course.

Kisses.

Kisses.

- [door opens]

- [knock at door]

May I?

[sighs]

Well, I can see this isn't a good time,

but, well, it is what it is.

Get to the point, Russo. What?

I don't know if it's you guys or me,

but this whole thing with Adel's kid

really disturbed me,

and I didn't react well at the garage

- I exposed us and

- It's okay, we'd have opened fire anyway.

- Luckily, there were no casualties, so

- What do you mean, "okay?"

- It's okay.

- It's not okay.

I don't trust myself anymore,

and I don't know how

Russo, put that aside for now.

We'll talk when we return

from Lebanon. Okay?

I need you with us right now.

[in Arabic] How did you know

I'd been decorated?

I read an article.

Adel sent it to me.

How did it make you feel?

How did it make me feel?

How did it make me feel?

Ashamed.

Moron.

Honey.

Don't call me that.

You didn't lie to them, did you?

Is Gabi alive?

You think I'd lie to them?

Put Aisha or you in danger?

Now you don't believe me either.

You really think that?

I believe you, and I hope they find him,

because if they do,

you'll get credit for it.

You'd still have to stand trial in Israel

and you'll be in prison.

That's out of our hands,

but we'll make sure you get visits,

that you can at least see Mom,

Muhammad and Rana.

Mom really misses you, Omar.

She hasn't been able to sleep

since this ordeal began.

If she knew she could see you,

even for a minute,

hug you and kiss you

My honey, I've ruined everything.

I've ruined everything.

I'm here now. Everything will be okay.

[both crying]

[in English] Okay, tell me

exactly where it hurts.

- Right here, in the lower ribs.

- Here?

- Yes.

- Let's see.

[fetal heartbeat sounds]

Well, I'm not seeing anything wrong.

[heartbeat continues]

Is that his heart?

Mm-hm. And it's perfectly fine.

Everything's fine, Nurit.

Must've been cramps, which is

very common in a first trimester.

By the way,

it's a girl.

- [Nurit gasps]

- Not "his heart," "hers."

[laughs through tears]

Don't cry, she's perfectly healthy.

I promise

- Are you sure?

- I'm sure.

- Can I use my cell phone?

- Of course.

Thank you.

[message beep]

[Sagi] Hey, you've reached Sagi.

I can't answer, leave a message.

[voicemail beep]

[disconnects call]

[sobs softly]

[suspenseful music]

[kisses]

[in English] So, we know that an Iranian

plane landed a few hours ago

at a m*llitary airfield in Jandar.

That's definitely going

to be their destination right here..

There are three possible

border checkpoints: Masnaa, Qalamun,

and one under UN control.

Omar.

Checkpoint Qalamun is not likely

because it's the longest drive

in a region that's

problematic for Hezbollah

due to exchanges with !sis units.

There have been a few sh**t outs.

The UN-controlled checkpoint

might work,

but it gets a lot of refugee traffic,

so discretion will be a challenge.

So, we assume it's the Masnaa checkpoint.

It's right next to a barricade

controlled by Hezbollah and the Syrians,

located on the Beirut-Damascus highway,

40 km from Beirut.

- [in Arabic] The cars are on the way.

- [Doron in Arabic] Thanks, buddy.

[in English] We have three drones

over the checkpoints

and another one above the villa.

Once we detect them leaving,

we'll know the destination.

Eli.

We'll be disguised as Lebanese police

with two vehicles.

We'll head towards

the Beirut-Damascus highway.

We need to be close

to all three checkpoints for quick access.

Remember, due to the Lebanese dialect,

only Sagi and Shani do the talking,

and they shouldn't say much. Got it?

- How do we get out?

- Right now there's no route.

We'll have to wait and see

which checkpoint they choose.

It's not ideal, but it is what it is.

We enter in two cars.

Car number one:

Doron, Sagi, Oren and Omar.

- He's coming too?

- Yes, we need him there.

Car number two: me, Steve, Shani, Ofir.

The rest of the forces will stay here

and wait for a point update.

- Good luck, everyone.

- Good luck.

Go. Get your gear ready.

[in Arabic] Doron, I need a favor.

I want to see Aisha.

[Nimer in Arabic] Come.

[Aisha sobs]

[in Arabic] Don't cry. Don't cry, my love.

God willing, it'll be alright.

[through tears] You keep lying to me.

You promised we'd be together,

have a baby and a house.

You promised.

[Nimer] Let's go.

[sobs heavily]

Don't worry.

[man in Arabic] Let's go.

Hold on.
