01x09 - The negotiations

[bunniefuu]

[g*nf*re]

[Yusuf] Karim!

[Pia screams]

[g*nf*re]

[Selma] My employers have your daughter.

If you want to see Pia again,

you have to do what I tell you.

[Karl] You're gonna f*cking k*ll him

at the courthouse!

[weapon c*ck]

[in Arabic] He did his part.

He brought you the hostages.

He shouldn't have gone to Daesh

and Ali in the first place.

[Layla, in English]

Bashir won't free them.

If we do what he says,

and Arik does too, Pia will be free.

Pia and Nadav are in Gaza.

They want to meet you.

And if you don't,

they will tell that you are Pia's father.

[in Arabic] He agreed

to meet someone you trust. Me.

If you betray me,

you and your son will be k*lled.

You have an idea

how to get out of Gaza, right?

Turn around and look at me.

[resounding blast]

[guard] Alright.

[door closes]

- [door closes]

- [man speaks Arabic]

[gate clanking]

[Selma, in English]

Everything is going ahead as planned?

- Yes, as far as I know.

- [Selma] Good.

We really,

really don't want any surprises.

Right?

[Karl] Right. [sighs]

- [Selma] There's one important thing.

- [Karl] What?

When the car stops

before you enter the courthouse,

when Abu Salim gets out of the car

Yes?

[Selma] Make sure you don't.

[dramatic music builds]

[Bill Clinton] Today, we bear witness

to an extraordinary act

in one of history's defining dramas.

[camera shutter clicks]

[child laughs]

[indistinct shouting]

[Pia screams]

[Anat sighs]

No, I'm not hungry.

You have to eat something.

You need to get strong.

Before Nadav comes back.

I fear, Nadav,

we'll never see him again.

God forbid. Don't say that.

God?

Where was your God when they k*lled Noa?

Anat, stop.

[sobs] I wanted so much to believe

that she's alive.

[weeps] That she would come home to me.

[sobs] Now, all I have is this.

[sobs]

[breath quivers]

She keeps looking at me

with those accusing eyes.

[sobs] Enough.

[pants]

- What? What are you doing?

- [Anat sobs]

- Why are you crying over your children?

- [rabbi] What? Anat!

For years, you ignored them

as if they didn't even exist!

[cries hysterically]

I'm sorry, Anat. I was stupid.

- I'm sorry. Forgive me, please.

- [Anat weeps]

[weeping]

- But our son is alive. Do you hear me?

- [Anat sighs]

[rabbi] Our son is alive.

Alex was here, and she told me.

You believe that evil woman?

Where Where do you get the confidence

that she's telling the truth,

after the disaster she put upon us?

- Nadav I know will come home alive.

- [Anat sighs]

- We, with God's help

- [sobs]

will live to see him at home, I feel it.

[weeping]

Bashir!

Bashir!

[clothes rustle against wall]

- [soft thump]

- [Yusuf sighs]

[sobs softly]

That's the first time

I see a t*rror1st crying.

I'm not a t*rror1st.

[muffled rumbling]

They said I wasn't ready.

[Pia] Who said you weren't ready?

[voice breaks] Bashir.

I was ready to fight against the f*ck

who k*lled my father.

No.

They said, "Wait."

[angrily] So, I waited.

Israel made Gaza one big jail.

But Hamas is dealing with them.

So, I went to Daesh. !sis.

They're fighters

not politicians.

They also said no.

I wanted to fight for Gaza.

They were talking about

getting out their leaders, out of jail

in Norway and Israel.

[sigh] So, when I heard

about you going to Sinai

You saw your opportunity.

[softly] Yes.

[metal door clangs]

[Abu chuckles]

Look at you, all dressed up, huh?

- How are you, my friend?

- Good.

- You ready?

- [Abu] Yeah.

Is Sidi ready?

- Yeah.

- Good.

[guard 1 over radio]

Charlie 49 to Delta 4.

Prisoner transport is on its way.

[guard 2] Charlie 49, copy that.

[Abu] You know,

my daughter came to Norway.

[chuckles] God.

Maybe I can hold her again soon, huh?

In that case,

you will soon hold your daughter too.

- [comm trills]

- [guard 3] Echo 06 to Echo 04.

Inner areas secured. Expanding search.

[Layla] It seems half abandoned.

That's the point, I guess.

- Okay.

- It's here?

I think so.

It was a black door?

- Yeah.

- [Alex] Okay.

[keypad beeps]

[beeping]

- [trills]

- [door unlocks]

[Arik] Wonder Woman Layla Kelani.

Hmm? [chuckling]

[sighs]

A lot has happened since we failed

to end the conflict between our nations.

Still, on a personal level,

it's good to see you again.

I'm not here on a personal level.

I speak on behalf of Bashir

and the political wing of Hamas.

Alright. [sighs]

And what does the Hamas want?

As you know,

Hamas is under pressure in Gaza.

While they are trying to be

responsible leaders,

more extreme and more aggressive factions

are trying to establish themselves.

And that's why it's in Israel's interest

to keep Hamas in power.

Better the devil you know.

- That's one way to put it, Arik.

- [Arik] Hmm.

A responsible leadership

instead of another.

[Alex] So

what does Bashir want?

Israel's assistance

in destroying the extremists

who threaten the fragile situation

in Gaza.

Can you be more specific?

We want you to release

the 12 !sis officers

that the group who took Nadav

and Pia demanded you to release.

What? No way.

And we want you to transfer them

to a Hamas prison.

- Let's talk about what I can do.

- [Alex] Okay.

I can try

to get more work permits

for Gazans to come into Israel.

Maybe more hours of electricity,

things that I can argue for.

No.

No, Arik, that's not enough.

- You will have to do better.

- [scoffs]

This is ridiculous. No chance!

No [sighs]

Hold on. What Arik!

Arik, wait!

- Don't you dare walk out on this!

- Hey, listen.

- This isn't a negotiation, it's blackmail!

- [Alex] It's not.

I've done what you asked:

listened to an outrageous proposal,

replied with what I actually can offer.

And that's it, okay?

- But

- Call me if they change their minds.

Arik! Arik, please!

Please! Oh, you f*cking coward.

[in Arabic] The arrogant b*stard.

You have to see him again.

He must agree to what we talked about.

You stay there.

I'll get back to you.

So?

[sighs] He walked away.

See? I told you this was a horrible idea.

- What's happening with Abu Salim?

- Nothing yet.

[Karim] If they don't give us Abu Salim,

we should k*ll the girl.

[in English] I talked to Bashir.

He was not surprised.

What does that mean?

It was like he had some sort of plan B.

Like what?

I have no idea.

[in Arabic] Bashir has a job for you.

We're making a video.

- Bring them along.

- [distant siren]

[men shout in Arabic]

- [soldier 1] Move!

- [soldier 2] Come on!

- Walk quickly!

- [soldier 1] Move!

[distant roaring whoosh]

- [blast]

- [soldier 1 shouts]

Move! I said move!

- [soldier 2] Move!

- [soldier 1] Go!

[guard 1, in English]

Echo 4 to Charlie 49.

Courthouse secured. Continue as planned.

[suspenseful music plays]

EXI

[music continues]

[r*fle scope clicking]

[guard 2] Charlie 49 to Echo 4.

Prisoner transport arriving at courthouse.

- [guard 1] Charlie 49, copy that.

- [seatbelt unbuckles]

- [comm trills]

- [guard 1] Echo 4 to Echo 6.

Suspicious person,

possibly armed, observed at silo.

[comm clicks]

- [guard 3] Echo 6 to Echo 4.

Entering building. Starting search.

[guard 1] Echo 4 to Charlie 49.

- Execute plan B.

- [comm trills]

- What?

- Wait.

POLICE

What the hell is going on? Answer me!

- I'm saving your life.

- [Abu] What?

[Karl] I just told you, I'm not like you.

[distant rattle]

[music intensifies]

[music crescendos]

[music fades out]

- [police] Please, step out.

- I'm

- I wanna see my daughter, okay?

- [police] Please, step out.

[door closes]

[sighs deeply]

[mobile vibrating]

Who is it? Is it Bashir again?

- [siren blares on video]

- [indistinct shouting]

- [Yusuf] Nadav! Come here!

- [Nadav grunting]

- [Alex] Oh, my God. It's Pia.

- [Nadav] Come in here! Come here!

And Nadav and and some other guy?

- [Pia panting]

- [Nadav] Pia! [grunts]

Where are they?

- [Nadav pants]

- [Pia] Come on!

- [siren blaring on video]

- [Nadav pants] Come here!

- [expl*si*n]

- Gaza.

[muffled screaming]

[Alex] Oh, my God.

[panting on video]

- [whizzing]

- [expl*si*n]

- [whizzing]

- [explosions]

[shouts on video]

That was Yusuf.

There, in the video.

[whispers] Yusuf?

The other one?

That was Yusuf?

Why do they have him too?

It was him.

They are using him

to pressure me to solve this.

[splutters] Wha Uh

Why? I don't get it.

Yusuf is the one who

He heard me talking with Pia

about going to Sinai.

He told the !sis men. They took them.

Then, I persuaded him to bring them back,

but Bashir is still angry with Yusuf.

[shakily] All this time

it was him?

Alex, I'm so sorry.

[sighs]

- Hi.

- [Karl] Oh, hi there.

I should've called,

but I've been busy with a court meeting,

so I didn't have the chance to call,

but, uh

Uh, I I couldn't do it.

[Alex] Pia is on the roof.

[Karl] What?

They put her on the roof,

close to where they're bombing.

But why on earth

can't you get her f*cking out of there?

How difficult can it be?

[angrily] "How difficult can it be?"

And you're asking me?

For God's sake! I'm here here all alone.

I can't trust anyone. I can't trust Layla.

I can't trust I can't even trust you!

[inhales sharply] Damn it!

[Karl] Uh I I

f*ck!

[breathes heavily]

[screams] F f*ck!

[weeps] I've had enough!

[sighs]

[Alex] Tell me one thing.

When you asked Yusuf

to bring Pia and Nadav to Gaza,

did you know

Bashir was going to hold them hostage?

Alex the only way

we could make Bashir to get involved

was to give him something of value.

If he hadn't,

they would still be with !sis!

I trusted you and Arik to find a way

to make Bashir release them.

You gave him Pia,

as a bargaining chip.

But you did what you had to.

- And now, we'll finish this.

- [Layla] How?

I'm running out of time.

I have to go back in the morning.

We have to make Arik

come back to the table.

We have to give Bashir what he wants.

- [whizzing]

- [explosions]

[Pia groans and pants]

[indistinct shouting in Arabic]

- [explosions]

- [Pia panting frantically]

[Nadav pants] Come here!

- [mobile chimes and vibrates]

- [Nadav grunting]

[inaudible]

- [engine revs]

- [tires skid]

[engine roars]

[suspenseful music plays]

[mobile vibrates]

- Hello?

- [Selma] Bad move.

[gasps softly and sighs]

Uh, y-you told me

that Abu Salim was a threat to the world,

and I made sure that he isn't,

not for a very, very long time.

[Selma] You know what we wanted.

You disappointed us.

[Karl] Uh. Well, I, um

[Selma] Let me tell you something else.

- She's not even yours.

- [Karl] What?

What are you saying?

- He-Hello? What?

- [line clicks and beeps]

[men speak Arabic]

[Karim speaks in Arabic]

[Bashir] Mm-hmm.

Okay.

But Layla

if this fails

I'll be waiting for your call.

[Karim speaks Arabic]

And so?

They have a plan.

To hell with this!

The time for negotiations

and deals is over.

It's time to act!

No more empty threats like last time.

[Bashir] Karim, my friend,

you have to learn one thing.

Patience always wins.

The Israelis know this.

We have to learn it too.

Learn from the Israelis?

You should hear yourself!

Karim!

[Alex] Thank you for coming back, Arik.

I trust you have adjusted your demands.

You remember, in '93

every time we came close to an agreement,

we always hit a dead end.

- Like Jerusalem.

- [Alex] Yes.

It's the same thing now. We can't give up.

We have to stop f*cking around.

Do you have a suggestion?

In '93, the solution was to postpone

the question of Jerusalem.

We postpone the claim of the 12.

We just want you to stop the bombing.

Then, they will release Nadav and Pia.

I told you,

I tried, but they won't listen to me.

You just have to make up

a good reason why.

[exhales]

How come Bashir has changed his mind?

Protecting the people of Gaza

is his priority.

And as I said, we are not changing

our demands for the 12 prisoners.

We are postponing it.

For the people of Gaza

for Pia

and for your family

say yes.

Okay.

You have to say it.

I will try my very best

to stop bombing Gaza.

So, we have a deal?

[Arik] Yes, we have a deal.

[calm music plays]

You shouldn't leave at the same time.

[music continues]

I don't remember him like that.

- Well, I don't know. It was a bit

- I don't.

[Arik] Hey.

[sighs]

[Chaim] How do you feel, Arik?

We were worried.

Much better, thank God.

- I was at home, got some rest

- [Chaim] Mm-hmm.

What? There's a cabinet meeting

in half an hour, right?

Yes, and I'll be presenting three

effective options that we'll put together.

Okay, what's the second option?

You're asking because?

Usually, Mosh prefers option number two.

To increase attacks on targets

in Deir al-Balah and Hamas.

[Arik chuckles] Mm-hmm.

And in terms of results, what?

What do we expect to achieve

that we haven't achieved

in a thousand previous bombings?

[Chaim] Are you sure you're alright?

You're the one who insisted

on bombing Hamas targets.

That was before we lost eyes

on the hostages.

So what?

Mosh, we don't know where they are.

Until we do, it's in our best interests

to make sure they stay alive.

I don't understand. What do you propose?

I suggest we advise the Cabinet

to hold off on bombings for 48 hours.

What will 48 hours give us?

Gather intel, find out where they are,

who's holding them,

buy time to put together a precise plan

and figure out how we get them out safely.

This can be done at the same time.

I don't see any reason

to stop the bombings.

We continue.

[gentle piano music plays]

[music grows louder]

[indistinct chatter]

Mrs Bakke?

- [Alex] Hmm?

- There is someone to see you.

- Someone?

- Yes. Here, in the lobby.

Karl?

[Karl chuckles softly]

[Alex chuckling]

- Hi. [chuckles]

- [Alex laughing]

[Karl sighs deeply]

[Alex laughs]

[smooches]

[inhales and sighs]

- Hi. [chuckles]

- [chuckles] Hey, you. Hi.

Let's try a different approach, Mosh.

Twenty-four hours.

If it doesn't work,

no problem going back to the original plan

and continue bombing.

Is there any new intel?

Not exactly, but from my experience,

and according to some sources,

if we pause slightly,

something may surface.

- Okay, let's see. Wait for the Cabinet.

- Come on, Mosh.

The Cabinet doesn't decide

until you tell it to, huh?

So present it as option number two then.

Twenty-four hours?

[door clanks]

- [Karim speaks Arabic]

- [water sloshes]

[in English] Wash yourselves.

You are going home tomorrow.

Bashir made a deal with the Israelis.

[in Arabic] Peace be upon you.

And peace be upon you.

Karim

Guys

A fruitful meeting, I understand.

That's right.

The bombing has stopped, as you know.

And the other thing?

Soon.

Do you feel like going for a walk?

Please?

I never come here anymore.

This place could have been so beautiful.

[in English] What do you think?

Is He really so merciful and graceful,

tolerant and forgiving?

"The land was filled with His grace"

The land Does that mean the whole world?

The ways of God are mysterious.

Why are you laughing?

He rescued you from investigation.

Hmm?

They wouldn't have proven anything

even if they'd tried.

[Arik inhales deeply]

[sighs]

I need another favour from you.

You're going to get them out of there.

[tense music plays]

[in Arabic] Peace be upon you.

- [Ali] May peace be upon you.

- And peace upon you.

- Is it still operational?

- Yes, it runs straight into Gaza.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

[sat phone ringing]

[ringing]

[softly] Yes?

Yes, send the coordinates.

They know nothing?

Good.

Fine.

[dramatic music plays]

Listen up.

I got a deal to get the hostages back.

The fools don't know we are coming.

God willing

God willing, we shall cast them into hell!

[music fades out]

- [woman moans]

- [whip cracks]

[man, in deep voice] Monster.
