ARABIC FOR "BLOOD REVENGE",

RESTORING VIOLATED HONOR OR AVENGING INJUSTICE.

I seek refuge in God from the cursed Satan.

In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful.

Master of the day of judgment,

you alone we worship, and you alone we ask for help.

Guide us on the straight path, the path of those you favor,

not those who have incurred your wrath or those who have gone astray.

YUSUF SALEM MOHAMMED AL-HOZAIL

Yusuf, my love.

Soon, God willing,

I'll take your revenge,

so that you can rest.

JEWISH SETTLEMENT. ENTRY IS FORBIDDEN FOR ARABS.

God forgive you, Salem.

-What are you doing here, you lunatic? -I'm the lunatic? You idiot.

You almost took my head off.

You snuck in. What did you expect?

I wasn't sure it was here.

Your phone is off, and your neighbors aren't exactly the best people to ask.

Terrible scout.

It's nice here. Quiet.

Yeah.

How's the head? Quiet too?

Some days.

I'm getting worse every day.

A father loves all his children equally, but Yusuf was special.

Yeah.

There's no one left for me to talk to at home,

and Nuzha has had enough of my sadness.

So you came to me?

You want to marry me, take a second wife? Is that it, Abu Musa?

What about you?

Talk to Allah every day?

Waiting for Him to come and take me already.

I swear to God, Abu Musa, I’m tired.

Looking for answers.

Actually…

I have something that might interest you.

I've been investigating.

Something came in.

What is it?

New footage from your and Hagit's house.

It shows Yusuf, and the son of a bitch who did it.

Iyad Dahdouh is his name.

The son of a bitch escaped Gaza through the Rafah crossing

during the second ceasefire.

Disguised himself as a casualty. He lives in Marseille now.

He has a business, a family. As if nothing happened.

Where did you get this?

Someone emailed it to me.

Offer enough money, and these people will give you anything you want.

Don't you know that?

Believe me,

all the shit I got over the last two years was fake.

But this time, it's real.

Here, look for yourself.

My source says he got it from him.

Come to Marseille with me.

You want me to come to Marseille with you?

And do what?

What do you want from me?

What do you want from me? What do you want from me, Abu Musa?

Does it seem right to you

that the son of a bitch is living over in Marseille,

as if nothing happened?

I've moved on.

I've moved on, Salem.

Eli…

This is tha'r, blood revenge.

You of all people should know what tha'r means.

If we don't do this, that day will haunt us for the rest of our lives.

Your family deserves tha'r.

Very good. Don't lose eye contact.

Now try to focus on the memory that came up.

Describe it to me.

I'm…

outside the iron container.

I'm looking inside.

What do you see inside?

There's a girl inside.

They're dead.

They're all dead.

Describe them to me.

They're all kids.

Beautiful kids.

The same age as my children.

Lots of blood.

And suddenly, an explosion.

Doron, where is this happening?

Stay with me, Doron. What do you see?

A lot of smoke… and a smell.

A smell?

Of what?

Flesh.

Yes.

I can't do it.

Why can't I remember?

I'm trying to connect the dots, and I don't get why I can't do it.

You're making good progress. We're getting there slowly, it's okay.

I understand you want to connect everything, but slowly…

How could eight hours of my life just vanish?

Doron, it's a process, and we're on the right track.

Don't judge yourself.

I don't know if I managed to save her.

It's driving me crazy.

I bought you something. It's in the back.

-For me? -Yeah, in the white bag over there.

Is it my birthday or something?

Do you like it?

Yeah. Buttons, light blue?

You're always wearing dark shirts.

You should bring out your beautiful eyes.

Thank you.

Is that Eli? What's he doing here? Did you arrange to meet?

No.

Look who's here.

The Messiah in his pickup truck.

The donkey wouldn't start.

-I missed you. -Me too.

Really?

Well? Can I get a hug or is that against your religion?

Gali, you're family, it's alright.

Okay, enough. Let's go.

Don't move your head, only your eyes.

Alright? As I pick up the pace,

the memories slowly come up.

Ouch!

But it really works, man.

I focus, the image comes up,

and then I put together the timeline of that day.

For real?

That's great, man.

What's going on, Eli?

Salem came to visit me today.

I see.

How is he?

Last time I saw him, he was a wreck.

Yeah, forget it, man.

You don't know what it's like to lose a child.

I hope you never do, God forbid.

Still looking for the Nukhbas who killed Yusef?

With all his might.

You don't say.

What is he going to do?

I don't know.

What, blood revenge?

Eli… don't let him put ideas into your head, got it?

Forget it, him and his… Bedouin nonsense.

Bro…

what you and Salem went through is the hardest thing in the world.

But nothing will bring back Hagit and the kids.

Come on, open up!

We won't hurt you.

We're true to the ways of Allah!

In the name of God, merciful and compassionate,

all praise is for God, Lord of all universes…

You son of a bitch!

Hey, you're up.

They're clean.

Yeah.

Everything okay?

I'm worried about Eli.

Why?

When he was here…

he spoke about Salem, about his son, about the…

I'll go and check on him first thing tomorrow.

But you have therapy.

Yeah…

I'll talk to Dr. Peled. It's fine.

Doron, it's not your fault.

He's not your responsibility.

I know.

But he's alone.

-He hasn't got a Gali by his side. -Okay.

Next, please.

-What is the purpose of your trip? -Visiting my friend.

Where do they live?

Remove your hat.

Proceed to the security checkpoint.

There is any problem?

Sir, move to checkpoint.

Next, please.

ELIYAHU

Be careful about the book.

Take off your shoes.

Next, please.

Was there a rectal exam?

Come on, let's go.

You know I go through this every time I come back to Israel?

Good, that's how you Arabs should be treated.

Come on, let's go.

For fuck's sake.

I was just at Eli's.

Did it calm you down?

Not really. He's not there.

He's not answering my calls.

The kids in the settlement said he left last night.

Okay, so where are you?

I'm on my way to Rahat, to see Salem. Maybe he's there with him.

Alright.

We'll talk later, okay?

Bye.

Bye, honey. Bye.

Musa? Hi.

I worked with your father. Can I come in?

-Hello. -Hello.

I'm Doron Kabilio.

I know who you are.

I saw you once.

Can we talk?

Please.

Since the day Yusuf died…

he became possessed, all he can think about is tha'r.

When did you last see him?

Last night I saw him packing a suitcase. When I woke up, he was already gone.

And how was he…

How was he over the last few days?

Come, I want to show you something.

He didn't let anyone go in. Only he has the key.

He'd lock himself away in here for hours.

THE GAZA WAR

EXISTENTIAL FAILURE SHOCKS THE STATE

He offered a million shekel reward

for information on the Nukhbas who killed Yusuf.

Did he get many calls?

Dozens. Maybe hundreds.

And he checked everything. One by one. That's all he did.

Is this his?

Yes.

I don't know the password.

-Can I take it? -Where to?

To a friend of mine. A computer guy.

Alright.

Hello.

Hi.

Is Rami here?

Who's asking?

The Bedouin.

Wait.

Come in.

Hi.

Where's the money?

It's all here. Here you go.

Your turn.

This is his restaurant.

Go at the end of the day, when the place is empty,

because a lot of heavyweights go there.

How'd you find him?

Many Gazans arrived here since the war.

They're quiet, keep their heads down.

Only this Dahdouh never keeps his mouth shut.

The day he showed me the video,

I said to him, "why did you kill that poor boy? He's an Arab".

You know what he said?

"He's the lowest of the low. He's the Jews' dog."

Anything else?

What about what I asked for?

I told you, that would be an extra 20,000.

It's all here.

SOF.K TECH

Our product can reveal what your financial rivals

are really doing online.

The important thing is that this service is strictly confidential.

You understand that, of course.

In order to...

It took my guys three minutes to hack into the computer.

You did good.

We're true to the ways of Allah. Don’t worry, I promise you.

We're true to the ways of Allah.

That's Eli's house in the Kibbutz.

Open the door!

They found Yusef inside the safe room. Salem's son. He lived nearby.

The Most Merciful…

Son of a bitch!

I used my contacts at Shin Bet to run a facial identification.

You're looking at Iyad Dahdouh,

a Nukhba terrorist now living in Marseille.

Marseille?

Yes, Marseille.

And guess who boarded flight 322 to Marseille this morning.

Okay, so what do we do?

Good question.

Hey, Gabi, how can I help?

What, did someone die?

This is Lia. Lia, this is Doron, an old friend from Shin Bet.

I've heard some stories.

-Nice to finally meet you. -Same. It's a pleasure.

-What's that? -None of your business.

What's the status on the connector supplies?

The meeting's tomorrow. I need answers.

We're working 24/7 on the lines. We'll deliver on time.

-You know why she's called Lia? -No.

Because she's a LIA-bility.

Go, get on with your work.

Well? Get going.

Who’s she?

My fixer. She's a pro, a genius. I pulled her out of the service.

She'll go far.

Tell me, is your… passport valid?

Why?

I'm sending you on a cruise. Why do you think?

-Someone has to stop those two lunatics. -I'm out, Gabi.

What do you mean, you're out? Who, then?

Sagi and Nurit are in Australia, Steve is protecting oligarchs in London…

Gabi, you're overreacting.

Doron, you have to fly out right now.

Before your friend does something that'll ruin his life.

Hey.

I thought we were done with all that.

Eli needs me.

There's always something, Doron.

What about what you need?

Remember the state you were in?

After you all nearly died in Jenin, then October…

I remember.

-Shall we pray? -Sure.

That's him.

Look at that son of a bitch, enjoying life.

Salem, enough.

We'll give his details to the police and Shin Bet, and that's it.

That son of a bitch entered your home and desecrated it.

First let's talk to him, make sure it's him.

Got it?

Salem, you got it?

Goodbye.

Good to see you, my friend. Give my best to Sora.

Thank you.

Hi.

Hello.

Brother, are you still open?

Sorry, my friends, as you can see, I'm closing up.

Please, man…

We've been walking around town, starving. We just landed.

We didn't even get peanuts on the flight.

Come in.

Thank you.

It's a good job the coals are still hot.

Where are you from?

Jordan. Amman.

Jordan? Really?

Know anyone there?

Of course, I have a large family there, in Al-Wehdat.

Palestinian?

We're from Baqa'a.

-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you too. I'm Salah.

And my quiet, shy friend here is Ahmad.

Nice to meet you.

-My name is Iyad, nice to meet you. -Pleasure.

Well, let's get you some food.

Are you sure? Something cold will do. We don't want to keep you.

"He who believes in Allah and Judgment Day must be kind to his guests."

Your accent… are you from Gaza or the Negev?

From Gaza, brother.

Were you there during the war?

If I'd been there during the war we wouldn't be talking right now.

I moved here with my family a few years before.

What the Jews did to us is a disaster.

May Allah punish them. I lost many friends.

May Allah avenge them.

Did you have a restaurant in Gaza too?

I lead a completely different life in Gaza.

I had a carpentry shop.

But when I came to Europe I realized they wanted everything quick and simple,

so I built a fast food place, like IKEA.

Hello.

-Abu Mohammed? -Yes.

People are looking for you. Stay sharp.

Sorry, I've run out of meat. I'll just pop down for a second.

No worries.

Mohammed, my son…

Run to Naji's stall. Get him to come here quick,

-Tell him to bring a gun. -What's wrong?

Keep your voice down.

Go on, go.

Oh, and tell him to come in from the back door.

Drop the knife. Drop it!

Get back.

Get back.

-Everything okay up there? -I closed the door.

We're alone.

The son of a bitch tried to pull a knife on me.

-You son of a bitch. -No, please, I'm begging you…

Gabi?

Welcome.

Talk to me.

I'm sending you the target's location.

Go there.

Doron, are you there?

What? Yes, I'm listening.

Repeat that?

I'm sending you a location. Go there now.

I really hope it's not too late.

Tell the driver to take the A55.

Okay, got it. Thanks.

Wake up.

Wake up.

You're Israelis? Jewish?

He's Jewish.

But I'm… Muslim.

Like my son, who you murdered while he was reciting the Al-Fatiha, you dog.

It wasn't me, I swear.

Come on, open up!

Take a good look.

We won't hurt you.

Look closer.

We're walking God's path.

See?

Son of a bitch.

Your bit is coming up.

Good job you guys filmed yourselves.

Saved us a lot of time.

What do you say, Iyad??

You dare recite a prayer, you devil?

Your soul is about to burn in hell!

Wait a minute, Salem.

Look at them.

Look!

Did you murder them?

No, not me.

And do you know who did?

No.

It was my commander.

I can help you.

Your son too…

I had no choice. You know how it is, you can't disobey an order.

What's your commander's name?

Maher Zeytoun. He's here! Here in Marseille.

I didn't mean to do it. I thought we were just going to steal and loot.

Liar!

Stop lying, you dog.

What's his address?

-He works here, at the center. -What center?

The Yummah Center.

It's a center for refugees and migrants. A few other Gazans work there.

Hamas?

But I have nothing to do with them. You see…

I'm just a foot soldier. Please…

Please! I have a family, kids…

Please!

Salem!

Salem. Salem!

Stay with me.

Stay with me.

-You'll be alright, okay? -Go catch him.

Go. Avenge Yusuf.

-Put pressure here, okay? -Okay.

Thank you.

Shit.

What are you doing here?

What is this? What happened here?
