MENI: Yoni... MELAKHI: Okay, Marco.

[grunting with effort]

[Meni, Melakhi, Marco, all overlapping]

Melakhi, what's going on?

- Yoni. - Help me pick him up.

[crying out]

MENI: Come on.

Be careful, gently.

- Unh! - Keep going, keep going. Now!

Keep going, Melakhi!

Melakhi! He's okay.

Okay, lay him over here.

Help me, help me with his leg, Melakhi.

I'm coming.

- Watch it. - Marco!

Lay down, lay down.

Yoni. Yoni, Yoni, Yoni.

It's still stuck, it's stuck right there.

Melakhi, we're gonna blow.

Aah!

Melakhi! Aah!

We're gonna blow. Those fuckers will finish us off.

Shut up! I'm trying to move this!

- Aaah! - Melakhi, Melakhi.

Melakhi, listen.

You gotta listen. Listen to me.

Listen to me! It's over for me.

We're alive, Melakhi.

I forgive you, Marco.

I forgive you for everything.

Let's go see your Ma.

Ma?

We're on our way home. We're on our way home now.

We're going home to Mom, Marco!

[both laugh]

[soldiers shouting in Arabic]

Marco, Marco...

[shouting in Arabic]

Marco, are you all right?

- Marco? - Yeah.

[soldier crying out in Arabic]

[tank fire explodes]

- Marco. - He's mine, Melakhi.

Cut it out!

Stop it!

Marco... Marco, stop!

- Marco! Marco! - Let go, Melakhi!

- Marco! - Leave me alone!

Marco, you're punching a dead body, Marco!

- [Marco grunting in rage] - Oh, my God.

You motherfuckers! Motherfuckers!

You can't defeat me! I'm still here, fuckers!

Bring it on, bring it on!

Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on!

Unh! Unh! Bring it on, fuckers!

I'm Marco Duzly, from Musrara!

And I'm not afraid of you!

I'll mess up all of you!

Bring it on!

You took Alush away from me!

I will tear him from you!

Alush! Alush!

I'll kill you all!

I'll strike at each and every one of you!

I'll tear you apart with my own hands!

Come on, sons of bitches!

- [Meni sobbing] - Come on!

I'm not afraid! Come on, shoot me!

- Come on! I'm Marco Duzly. - [sobbing]

Where are you? Where? Come on, you sons of bitches!

Come on, you motherfuckers, huh?

Come on! You can't take me down!

Alush! Alush!

Marco...

Alush. Alush.

Come on and get me, fuckers!

[door opens]

Do you want to begin?

I'm a cook.

[Husni speaking Arabic]

[man groaning]

[door slams, locks]

Yoav? You're alive...

Aaah!

[Avinoam gasping, whimpering]

Avinoam, don't say a single word.

- Unh! - Aah! Yaaahh!

[sobbing] I looked all over for you.

I looked everywhere.

[agonized groans]

[in Arabic]

It's up to you now.

You can either help him live

or he'll die slowly.

Avinoam, don't tell them anything. Not a word.

Unh!

You want to let him have surgery, Avinoam?

The gangrene is still below the knee.

If you hurry, there is still a chance to help him.

- No, no. - We can still save the upper part.

If not, the gangrene will climb higher

- and higher... - No.

Until it reaches God.

Please, help him! Help him!

Yoav, I won't let you die!

No! Don't tell them anything.

- Not a word!! - Yoav, I gave Dafna the ring.

She came to rescue you. I gave her the ring.

- [guards shout in corridor] - Not a word!

- [Yoav cries out] - [door slams shut]

[interrogator speaking Arabic]

Avinoam, don't tell them anything.

Don't say a single word.

Remember...

a wounded soldier does more damage than a dead one.

OFFICER AT TRIAGE: Do you realize it's treason?

- You're accused of treason. - YOAV: Not a word!

SHANDURI: Every intelligence officer already heard your opinion

and they all want to strangle you.

[soldiers mocking laughter]

None of the big commanders up there

even had a clue there'd be a war.

[pistol shot]

Not one of them figured out what you figured out.

We're all right, we're all right.

Aah! There's my leg!

I'm begging you, please shoot me.

No, stay here. No, no.

Just do what I say. You're all right.

Do you wanna get out of here? Do you want to or not?

Let's go.

Open the door! Please!

One, two...

three!

[in Arabic]

[responds in Arabic]

I'm...

I'm diving in the water.

Husni...

Husni.

Tank crews, infantry...

We've all sinned.

We were arrogant. We were complacent.

I promise you one thing.

And you have to promise yourselves and everyone you love

that we'll change, that this war will make us better people.

And that after this damn war

the State of Israel

will rise again...

better, stronger,

more modest, more compassionate.

And we'll always remember the young men that we lost,

who loved and laughed

and dreamed and were passionate and fought,

fought and died in all that carnage and turmoil.

Search your souls for them.

[soldier sobbing]

All right, guys.

Tonight we're gonna conquer Syria.

It's an opportunity to rain fire down on Damascus,

on the presidential palace,

so they will never forget who they messed with.

We'll cross the border,

we'll advance as far as possible,

as deep as possible!

Until the U.N. tries stop us,

Damascus is only 93 kilometers away!

[General's voice fades]

Melakhi...

You'll be on the first tank to cross the border.

Dismissed.
