Original subtitles

I said, leave it.

It's for everyone. - He can ask, I know you'll share.

Ben Hamo, may I? Please?

Why are you glued to me? You know they'll catch you in the end.

Zackie, what an honor.

Ben Hamo himself, in the flesh,

without his body guard.

Way to go, Ben Hamo, you're the man!

Bon appetite.

Lucky your mother came, Ben Hamo.

It's rough having to eat army food on Saturday.

What's your shoe size, Ben Hamo? - Forty two.

Put out the cigarette.

Pick up the butts. What is this, a pig sty?

Disgusting.

There's no excuse for what you did, Ben Hamo.

I know, that's why I'm here.

You piece of shit! You rat!

Be grateful I don't pull your tongue out through your throat!

You're killing him. - Let him die!

There shouldn't be sons of bitches like him in the world!

Damn you! Stop it!

Calm down.

Peretz, that's enough.

I hope that calms my nerves.

I could kill him.

No one messes with me, Zackie.

They don't give just anybody

a mental profile for rage. - I know.

Stop...

I think the cat's been fixed. - That cat is all man.

The theory that the note C

will arouse him sexually and drive him crazy,

is obviously a superstition.

Like the story about the bull and the red cape.

Ressler, hit it! I think it'll work this time.

I'm still doubting Thomas.

Are you going to discuss this all night? - It's a timeless topic.

Sexual passion steers mankind.

Who knows how Darius horse's sexual desire put him on the throne?

Oh no, Micha, please, not now.

You get bored at parties too? - I don't know anyone.

I grew up with everyone here, and I feel like a stranger.

Play something nice. - The mood isn't right.

Someone's got to create the mood. Make it a nice evening.

I'm not sure they are interested in that.

You are together in boot camp? - Turned out that way.

Would you mind giving me a cigarette for Ziva?

Sure.

You always run her errands? - She hardly knows you

and you're the only one who has cigarettes.

Snob.

She's trying to impress you so you'll make a pass at her.

Is she the kind of girl that everyone...

Is that what you think? That you're anyone?

What's she like? - Mean.

Suddenly everyone's an addict.

What're you talking about? I want to join you.

Play something, be a sport, Resseler. - What do you want to hear?

The saddest piece you know. - Whatever.

This is ridiculous, why am I even playing this?

What's wrong?

I have nothing to prove, not even to you.

You're just a problematic child. - And a difficult one.

What are you babbling about. You understand nothing.

What were you playing? - Schubert.

It was very beautiful. - It was foolish and ridiculous.

He's always like this, like a prima donna.

He thinks we aren't worthy.

He's the flower blossoming on top of a garbage pile.

He keeps his pieces to himself and we must settle for the lousy songs.

Dance with me?

I don't know how to ballroom dance.

I never danced them. - Me neither.

So what'll we do? - It'll be fine.

No, it'll be ridiculous.

What's with you, constantly putting on a display for each other?

See? I acted ridiculous, so what?

Anyway I'm here playing the role of a cat in heat.

You're hurting my hand.

And you said you can't dance.

I can't. But my body knows what to do.

When it's happy, it dances on its own.

I didn't mean to shout earlier.

I was afraid. I thought maybe I was losing you.

I'm not a hothead, I'm not difficult,

I'm much kinder than you think.

Why are you telling me all this?

I love you.

You don't even know me.

One more dance, please.

Ask Miri, she likes you.

You don't understand, I'm not a dancer.

I told you I can't dance.

I only dance out of love,

just like I danced with you for the first time.

You're too romantic. It's sort of nice, but...

be careful not to come off like some cheap American movie star.

There's nothing more revolting than that.

Would you dance with me?

Tell me about her. - What do you want to know?

Does she have a boyfriend?

Yes. He's a student and an officer in the paratroops.

Why didn't he come with her?

He's in Tel Aviv for Saturday, visiting his parents.

You think she's intrigued by me?

Look,

you have some qualities that might intrigue a girl,

but you don't have to push it.

Is he more handsome than me?

I don't think that's what matters to her.

What's going on between her and that snob?

They've been like that ever since I've known them.

Like brother and sister. - Maybe.

Avner, you coming?

We're going in different directions.

I'm going your way.

C in the third octave, remember that note, Avner.

It really drives some cats crazy.

Good night.

You don't have to walk me to my house.

I live here, right around the corner.

I've waited all evening for this moment.

That doesn't mean anything will happen between us.

You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.

Why so depressed? What happened?

My entire world is collapsing around me.

I thought you felt the way I do.

Something strange, wonderful,

as if we were preparing for this moment. - It's late.

If I thought I have a chance, I wouldn't go back to the army.

I would hide somewhere and wait to hear from you,

see you, love you.

I love you.

You don't even know who you're dealing with.

You don't even know me.

Besides, I don't believe in love at first sight.

With you it's not like that at all.

I'm attracted to you because I feel like we know each other,

like we have a mutual secret.

That's all very well, but it's totally irrelevant.

That's better.

Finally you smiled. See? No harm done.

Miri told me you have a boyfriend,

I know what I am to you.

Nothing, a miserable animal, a black stinky monkey.

A punk, a primitive imbecile. - Why do you humiliate yourself?

So I'll say you're wrong and that you're

handsome, charming, talented, intelligent and sensitive?

I won't do anything you don't want me to do.

I know.

Tell me about him. - It's unnecessary.

Will I defile him if we talk about him?

What do you want to know?

What do you see in him?

He's marked for life. He infiltrated the enemy lines.

How is he marked?

Hard to explain.

It's a unique beauty.

Is he that much better than me?

You don't stand a chance. - Why don't you tell me to go away?

I want us to be friends.

Friendship can be between guys or between girls.

Two people who are attracted to one another can't be friends.

It's worth a try.

It could be nice.

Sounds awful to me.

Give me some hope, at least that.

Like an IOU with a delayed payment date.

I know myself, I don't see any change in the future.

All I can offer you is a corner in the kitchen.

You insist on entering the living room,

or more exact, the bedroom.

That room is taken, end of story.

Your gift is full of suffering and pain.

Listen, it's so beautiful.

What does your beauty guarantee me?

Quiet.

Listen.

Goodnight, Avner.

I'm going home.

Heaven help us.

Why are you working alone?

Where's your partner?

I don't have a partner, sir.

Are you stupid?

Did you hear what I said? - Yes, sir!

Explain to me how you're going to set up a tent with this?

You could stand here, sir, and I will hold the tent...

You sure there's no one to be with you?

There isn't, sir.

Miller!

Yes, sir!

Come here, with your gear.

You be with Ben Hamo. Is that clear?

Fine, sir! - No, no, Sir.

I can't be with him, I'm afraid, sir.

We're together, don't be afraid. I help you, you help me.

Sir, Why do I have to be with him? I can't.

If he passes out, I will too. Find someone else, sir.

Commander Benny!

Commander...

Leave me alone!

I want to be on my own.

One soldier, no tent,

two soldiers, tent.

Dafna Cnaan!

That's for me, sir.

Give me twenty. - Yes, sir.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,

9, 10, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,

7, 18, 19, 20!

Thank you, sir.

Ziva Gutman!

Mine, sir.

Give me twenty.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,

9, 10, 11, 21,

13, 14,15, 16,

17, 18, 19, 20!

Ressler!

Come here!

Here.

Avner already paid for you. - Thanks Avner...

You should've seen his face when he walked her home.

He looked like a real sex maniac.

Quiet!

No talking!

Orli.

Orli?

No one wants it? Whatever.

Orli what, sir?

Orli Ben Hamo.

Give me twenty.

Ressler.

Where have they gone?

These guys are Nazis, I swear,

that Benny's a Nazi!

Come on, Ben Hamo!

Don't do me any favors! - I don't care!

Leave me alone.

You're just making it harder on us. I'm stronger.

Ben Hamo!

Come on, Ben Hamo!

Third platoon, prepare to stand at attention for Commander Mualem!

Two, three... - Attention!

What are you doing outside in the rain?

Sir, everything's wet, all the tents are full of water.

Is this grand central station?

Everyone's back in their tents in three seconds. Move!

I don't want to see anyone out here.

To the tents, move!

Are you deaf?

Go to your tent!

Sir, everything's full of water, it's like lying in a cold bath.

You know better than your commander what's good for you?

No, sir. - Exelent!

Go back to your tents!

Move!

Come on, third platoon!

Move!

That's an order!

Move!

This is mutiny!

No problem.

You know what mutiny means?

In 3 minutes, everyone is standing outside,

with all your gear.

We are going out for a night drill.

Move!

You're at the end of boot camp and you've learned nothing.

You want me to dry out your tent?

So some water got in, so what?

You know what's going on in the country?

Floods everywhere.

Even my family is being moved from their houses

because everything is flooded.

I should be there now,

helping them,

but I can't.

Why?

Because in the army you do what you have to do,

and right now, I have to be here, with you,

and listen to you whine.

There are soldiers in your platoon who live in transit camps,

where the rain might have destroyed their families' houses.

Are you better than them?

You want me to feel sorry for you?

Some people think that because they're born in Israel,

they deserve more.

They can mock others as if they're not human,

as if they're dogs who can be kicked around.

Come on, Zackie, it was like that at first,

when we didn't know each other.

When you live together you fight sometimes and then you forgive.

But you? You don't want to forget.

Miller?

Miller.

Miller!

Miller! Miller!

Alon! - Is he dead?

Alon! - Yes, sir?

You know the way back to the camp? - Yes, sir.

Micky, run over there, wake up the company commander and get the medic.

Yes, sir.

Is he dead? - Maybe.

What's with him?

Maybe he's a Cohen, they can't be near dead people.

Don't touch him!

Come on!

Keep infiltrating.

One by one.

Whoever's caught,

is dead!

They're shooting at us.

I swear, they're actually shooting at us.

Are you crazy? You'll kill us.

Leave me alone! You crazy people! Scumbags!

Leave me alone!

Zero Zero! - Leave me alone!

Don't be afraid, It's only noise, it won't hurt you.

Why did you stop? Chickens!

Nobody lies down.

Whoever doesn't advance, goes back down and starts again.

Fire, fire!

Fire, fire!

Melabbes the liar, Ressler the wise guy,

Micha the fool, and Hedgehog,

get up. Stand on your feet.

Go down and start again.

Stinking pencil pushers! Miller wasn't enough for you.

Instead of fighting the Arabs, you're firing blanks at recruit's.

Ave Caesar, morituri te salutant!

Soon it'll be over, we'll never see them again.

Ressler, Micha, Hedgehog and Melabbes, come on.

Advance up the hill, before I come down to you.

Ave Caesar, morituri te salutant!

Fire.

Sir, you're dead.

Get down, before they see you.

Look at your friends.

Like sitting ducks.

Sir.

What?

I'll go to squad commander training school, sir.

What happened?

You don't want to be a paratrooper?

I was refused by the adjutancy, sir.

I assure you, you won't regret it.

Here.

Shoot!

Fire.

Remind me to ask the company commander to return your riffle.

Yes, sir.

Avner,

whose burnt blanket does Ben Hamo have?

Permission to speak freely, platoon commander?

After the final ceremony, talk freely as much as you want.

Then I'll tell you in 2 weeks, platoon commander.

Ben Hamo! I heard you're a belly dancer.

Is that true? - No, sir.

Get your guitar, play something for us.

It's a violin, sir.

Whatever. Go get it, play.

I'm not bringing it out to the sand, sir. - Never mind then.

Nura, nura, nura...

Come on, Rachamim.

Dance. - I don't feel well, sir.

Forget it, I don't think he can dance.

He's just shy.

Three cheers for Ben Hamo! Hip! Hip! - Hurray!

- Hip! Hip! - Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

"Ben Hamo will sing us a solo,

"Ben Hamo will sing us a solo,

"Ben Hamo will sing us a solo, and so say all of us."

Quiet! - No need to be ashamed.

I can't get my boot off.

I told you to take them off.

I can't touch my foot.

Pull the boot off in one shot, whatever happens, happens.

What's that stench? It smells like a corpse!

I have to tell you something.

That time we guarded and you got punished...

You saw Benny coming and you ran off instead of waking me up.

Weren't you sleeping? - I sure was. - So how did you see?

There are things you can see with your eyes closed.

Why didn't you say anything?

I waited for you to say it.

I don't know why I did it.

It was like...

this force I couldn't resist.

It's called hatred.

You were upset, I don't give a fuck about their rules

and refuse to turn into a spineless slave.

Maybe.

When you suffered in bed,

didn't you want to take revenge? Didn't you curse me?

I don't judge anyone. I barely know why I'm doing these things.

Besides, I believe in forgiveness.

The worse the deed, the greater the forgiveness.

Why did you tell me now?

Because my feet stink? - Maybe.

Ben Hamo... What's going on, baby?

Ben Hamo, where are you going?

Ben Hamo!

At ease.

Mickey?

Dafna.

Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

Where's Alon? - He's running late.

He's not here. He should be here any minute.

Come, put your backpack in the room.

He told me you and him are good friends.

He likes you and he's proud to have you as his friend.

Good to know. With me, he only argues.

Alon and I are childhood friends.

He really loves you.

You come second only to the army.

Who is it? - Avner.

Who? - Avner, I've come to see Ziva.

Hello, is Ziva home?

You're Avner Gabay. - Yes, ma'am.

Come in.

You're mistaken, sweetie, Ziva Gutman doesn't live here.

You're her mother.

Soldier, I'm telling you Ziva Gutman doesn't live here.

Stop sending me love letters.

Sorry.

Would you like a glass of water?

Sorry. - It's ok.

Alon!

Alon!

Alon!

Alon!

I didn't want you to see me like this.

Why not? It suits you.

Have you been waiting long?

I walked around the cinema in Haifa for a while.

I wanted to feel the glances, the admiration.

Why did you stay at the base if you had an Uzi gun at home?

I swiped it from Dafna's brother.

You have a nice girlfriend.

It's the most beautiful uniform in the entire army, isn't it, Mickey?

I thought you were over that.

I thought I'd join you in squad commander training school.

Mickey... Mickey!

It's just a costume.

You can count on me!

Ok?

Buddy,

now that you want to be with me, you won't be able to get rid of me.

What are you doing here?

Someone could see you. - I love you, I need you.

I told you I don't want to see you anymore.

I must see you, I'm going back to the army tomorrow.

I can't today.

I'll wait for you.

Wait. I'll either come or I won't.

Oh, darling, what have they done to you...

Give it back now!

Stop, you're ruining it!

Are you giving it back or should I call the commander?

You psycho, you'll pay for this!

Who lives on Lincoln st., the paratrooper?

What paratrooper? Give me back the violin!

Ziva's boyfriend, the infiltrator? He lives on Lincoln st?

She told you he infiltrated the enemy lines and you believed her?

Come up here and play Schubert if you want your violin back.

You can't make me play.

I'll be happy to "fix" it for you if you don't.

Don't break it, he'll play.

Schubert!

Schubert! Schubert! Schubert!

Here you go, Maestro.

Where did he station you?

He didn't say, but I think it's the army orchestra or a military band.

How do you know if he didn't tell you?

He asked me about my music studies.

Don't worry. He knows, he's one of them.

Alon.

At ease, sit!

Alon Harel? - Yes, sir.

ID no.1366365?

Yes, sir.

You get to list three options. Where do you want to go?

Paratroopers, squad commander course at Training Base 4

and squad commander course at Training Base 4.

You put it down as a second option,

I suggest you take advantage of the third option.

This is the recruit I talked to you about.

Have you thought of anything? - No, sir.

You'll get your duty orders later. Dismissed.

Sir, you promised you'd help. He's sending me to the police course.

When did I promise?

During the field training, during infiltration.

Maybe, I don't know. It was too late.

When I could still do something,

when I spoke to you after you discharged a bullet,

and I promised to try to help you...

You weren't so enthusiastic.

I guess you were busy with other matters.

Sir, I'm asking you to help me.

I can't be a military policeman, sir! - Soldier!

I can't. - Alon, listen, what is this?

You're not a child, get a hold of yourself!

You have to be responsible for your decisions.

Sir, please, help me stay here, at squad commander course.

It's very important to me, sir.

Soldier, you're dismissed.

Sir, I counted on you, sir!

Alon...

Leave the door open.

Alon. Alon!

What happened?

He put me down for military police.

You know what that means for me?

I just can't! I'd rather not serve at all.

Maybe it's the investigation unit, could be interesting. - Are you crazy?

You see me returning to the kibbutz in a military police uniform?

I won't be a military policeman. - Tell Benny, he'll help you.

He did this on purpose.

I asked for squad commander course. If you're not going, neither am I.

I won't be a policeman.

I came for the package.

Sammy, come on!

Quickly! I gotta get out of here fast.

I don't have anything. - I gave it to you! - I threw it away.

They searched us. I was lucky they didn't find it.

Where did you throw it out? - The latrine.

What a surprise!

How are you?

Are you crazy? Do you know what you've done?

Come outside with me.

Where is it? - Let go of me.

Sammy, enough. - Move, stay out of it!

What do you think you're doing? Drop the knife!

You're breaking my arm.

Fine, I'm leaving.

Get out of here. Get out of our lives.

Give me the knife. - You can't have it. Go!

You son of a bitch, thief.

Son of a bitch.

Move!

Zero Zero. - What?

Congratulations, you're a father.

Your wife gave birth to a son.

Mualem is waiting for you in the office with a pass.

I came to replace you. Go.

I have a son? - Yes, didn't you know?

Did your wife get pregnant on her own?

She was due to give birth next week.

What have you done to me...

Thanks for coming to replace me. - No problem. Go.

Zero Zero. - Yes?

Congratulations! - See you.

Alon!

What? - What did you do with the knife?

Don't worry.

No one will find it.

Thanks. - You're welcome.

I have an Israeli son.

Not like Lupo and Shmupo and all their shitty names.

I'll give him an Israeli name. He won't speak any language,

only Hebrew. He'll sing in Hebrew.

He won't be a shit like me, sir.

This is a good place for raising children, sir.

This place creates beautiful children, healthy children, sir!

Zero Zero!

Yes, sir!

Come here.

Congratulations. - Thank you, sir!

What post were you guarding? - East bunker, sir!

Sir, congratulations are due to you too.

Good luck with the officer training.

Heaven help us.

I came to say goodbye, I'm leaving the base today.

I'm going to officer training.

Good luck at police training.

I'm not going to police training.

I won't be in the military police, sir.

I saw your duty order.

The adjutant already signed it.

I won't be in the military police, sir.

Stop making a fool of yourself.

Sir, you better go.

You don't want to be late for your training because of me.

Heaven help us.

You threatening me?

No, sir.

Goodbye,

Mr. Policeman.

Goodbye, sir.

Run, get the doctor and an ambulance.

Get the doctor.
