Previously on PRISONERS OF WAR

I can't do this alone.

I have something to give you.

Take it.

You know what it is, don't you?

I know we made a deal, but I'm afraid.

There was a man here, at noon,

with dark glasses and a white skullcap on his head.

The next time he shows up

you let him go up to his room and you call me immediately, understood?

The photo!

Who took this photograph?

My uncle, I suppose. Why?

Do you another one of him?

Mustafa, it's important.

Let me introduce you, this is Jamal.

What's in that closet, Jamal?

- The usual, Muhamad. - Don't tell me "the usual".

The apples are not heavy. What have you involved us in?

Calm down, what are you afraid of?

You must take risks if you are to succeed.

Money is not everything. I have my family, my children.

I'm not free like you are.

Calm down, Muhamad, calm down.

Pick it up.

I want a quiet arrest.

Nobody shoots without my say so.

Who are these people?

I didn't build this tunnel for this.

So, why did you build the tunnel? To smuggle apples?

No. To help the people of our village

while one half is here and the rest on the other side.

So they can communicate and be reunited.

Not for thieves to take it over.

I'm sorry, Muhamad, alright? This is the last time. I promise you.

Hurry up and get out of here before daylight.

Pick it up.

Now. Lift it higher.

Higher, higher, higher.

Give it to me, give it to me. Pick up the box.

Up. Lift it up a little more.

- See? We're done. - Alright. Let's go.

You, out there, don't move!

No. I didn't do anything. I...

They killed them.

They killed them both.

They shot at them.

And Jamal?

Jamal did not intend to complicate things, I'm sure.

The Jews said he was involved in smuggling arms for the terrorists.

But I'm not sure. All there was in the boxes were apples. I'm sure.

How do you know he died?

I saw his corpse. They showed it to us.

I know it's hard

but did you also see your brother's body?

Haim.

Do you still have that friend of yours who works at 504?

Oron.

Yes, why?

We have to see a file from about twenty years ago.

PRISONERS OF WAR

Episode 8 - "Death of an Agent"

She's not home, again?

I don't know, I didn't check.

I don't want cornflakes.

Good morning.

Earphones...

- How's Ehud? - Fine, thanks.

Very well.

Is that how you went out?

So what?

Neighbors.

Since when do you care about the neighbors?

Why are you interfering?

How's your father?

He's all right.

Working, as usual.

A very nice man.

- Very special. - Yes.

How was your run?

Excellent. I'm going to take a shower

and then we'll have a good breakfast.

I'd prefer it if she didn't get up from bed.

Yes?

Hi... Shmuel?

Talia Klein.

Hi, Talia. Good morning, how are you?

Much better. Thanks.

I want to thank you...

I wanted to thank you for coming that day. It

help me a lot.

I'm glad to hear it.

Ehud is here. I'm just making him breakfast

Is that right? I haven't... I haven't seen him home today.

Anyway...

at the time, when you were here, you said...

something about going out for coffee.

So, if you still want to, I don't have any plans tonight.

It'll be my pleasure.

It'll be my pleasure. I'm totally free tonight.

- Truly? - Yes.

Shall I pick you up at eight?

Yes?

What?

It's a silly thing of me.

I was sure you'd say no.

Because Dana was your patient

or maybe because of Ehud.

Then, why did you call me?

To see if I had the courage.

It's been a very long time since I asked somebody to go out with me.

I'm not even sure if I ever did.

And I ruined your plans

by accepting immediately.

I don't know if I had called had I known you were going to accept.

You're right. This

is not very ethical on my part. It's a grey area.

Look, I did not treat you, so it's not inappropriate

but it is...

in the grey area, yes. Very grey.

Then, what do we do?

We could talk about it.

Over coffee, let's say?

OK.

Can I pick you up at eight?

- See you then. - Bye.

- Dr. Grinfeld. - Yes?

I don't know if you remember me...

Uri Zach.

Hello, hello, of course I remember you.

Yes, I... am glad to see you.

I didn't know if you were still accepting patients.

Forty three years in the same place.

Come, come. Come in.

How's your father?

He's very well. Thank you.

Strong as a bull. Good man.

He has a good heart.

That's true.

Lie down, Uri.

It's cold.

Besides the nose bleed and tiredness?

Dizziness sometimes, but I don't think it's related...

I feel very tired.

Weak.

Joint pain?

Could it be stress?

A lot of things are happening in my life lately and...

I feel it may be related.

I remember this.

I'm sorry. I...

I'm sorry.

- I don't know what happened. - Are you all right now?

Come, sit down.

Look, it may be all stress related,

but due to your circumstances,

I'd like to run some tests.

What do my circumstances have to do with it?

There are some conditions common to people who have been in captivity.

The chances are rare, in any event

I'd like to send you for some test, would that be alright?

A lollipop?

Haim, what is this? What are you getting me into?

- Nothing, why? - Why?

Look, your file is not ordinary.

In what sense?

- Do you want some of the apple? - No. I don't want any.

OK. Continue.

There was an arrest on May 2nd, 1982.

The detainee...

- Jamal Agrabiyah. - Yes.

Was taken to 1391.

1391?

The unit's Interrogation and Detention Center.

A place that almost doesn't exist.

What happened to him from the moment he arrived it's in the archives.

I need to get in there.

You can't.

Besides, it's not necessary.

Now you really owe me one.

I don't understand anything.

It's because there's nothing to understand.

The detainee never made it to the complex.

Something happened along the way.

He got in the car but...

never made it to the complex.

His file disappeared. It was wiped out.

There's no detainee named Jamal Agrabiyah.

Somebody disappears just like that?

Just like that.

You want a cigarette?

You're in a world of grief, Jamal.

Apples is one thing, but weapons...

Do you know what the punishment for treason is?

For espionage?

For consorting with the enemy?

You will get thirty years,

at least.

Do you know what it will do to your family?

What's the probability he worked for you?

You know I can't answer that.

Laila.

- What? - Where is he? We should have started five minutes ago.

He said he'd step out for a moment and be back in time.

Who did he left with?

I told you a thousand times I don't want he...

I'm sorry. I lost track of time.

Where were you?

Nowhere. Out, with friends.

I'll get ready and we'll start, all right?

Come here.

Why are your clothes soiled with mud?

- I... fell. - Are you lying to me?

Is that what your friends taught you?

Who were you with, today?

Muhamad, Hassan, Said. Just friends.

Why can't I have any friends?

Are those the people hanging out with Abdallah all the time?

Yes?

She won't help you. Look at me.

Yussuf, it's nothing. We were having some fun.

He taught us to crawl, to jump a wheel on fire...

You should hear what he says about the resistance.

Resistance?

This is the last time you go out with those friends of yours.

- You go out with him all the time. - All you have to say to me now

is that you regret the delay

and you will not go out with those people.

All right. I'm sorry. I promise. It won't happen again.

- I'll wait for you in the study room. Go get changed. - All right.

You're too hard on him.

It hasn't been long since his father's death.

This is for his father's sake.

You press him too much.

It's a youngster, not a child.

You can't shut him up in his room all the time, with his books...

- Did you hurt yourself? - No, it's alright.

Go wash, go.

- What? - Nothing happened to him.

The child is too fragile. He needs to be stronger.

Don't laugh.

Some day you'll understand when you have your own children.

I don't want children.

We'll start with our class in five minutes, all right?

Promise me something...

Ismail...

Ismail is a delicate and sensible child. A different kind of child.

Different from all the rest.

I want him to learn,

to get an education,

to have a good future. Not here.

After I...

You'll be around.

You'll overcome it. I know you.

You don't know me.

Nobody knows me.

The time has come to tell you how I got here.

Five minutes.

Don't be late.

Do you know what will happen to your sister?

Her husband was in charge of the shop, isn't it right?

How long do you think it will be before they go bankrupt?

She has two small children.

Adorable.

Disgraced, without a father.

- In your society... - Those in the village will help them.

Not when they learn Muhamad was my collaborator.

Muhamad was not your collaborator.

But they'll believe it all the same.

I'm gonna tell you something now

I haven't said to you before.

This conversation never took place.

I'll give you a few minutes to think and decide.

Ten years instead of thirty.

I will personally take care of your family.

They will receive 4,000 shekels every month.

You want me to work for you?

I want you to work for your family.

The other side does not know what happened here.

You'll arrive wounded,

running.

You'll tell them what we did, we captured you...

- You... - I'm not a traitor.

Darling! No!

Leave me be! My darling, no!

Five thousand.

They believed my story right away. Here.

Why not?

I came back terrified, crying, wounded...

They opened their doors to me.

They greeted me warmly.

They embraced me.

Like one of their own.

I love these people.

They have to believe in you in the same way.

But you are an Arab. The Israelis took everything away from you.

Why would they believe me?

You'll see soon enough.

Go ahead, Laila.

Yussuf.

Yussuf, I'd like you to meet Laila. She's sheik Qassab's daughter.

She'll work with us from now on.

- Did you finish studying? - Yes.

Did you two make up?

Let him be mad. I don't want him running around with those people.

That's not good.

That's not what Jamal wanted.

Remember the first time we met?

Yes, why?

We also did things Jamal didn't approve of.

This is different.

How is this different?

Wow. Why are you all made up?

- Nice? - Ravishing.

- Telephone. - Who is it?

Dad.

Nimrod.

Remember how I used to love those toasted fava beans at the kiosk?

Yes...yes.

Uy, they were awful.

They smelled terrible.

So, yesterday, middle of the night, I went to the kiosk at the end of the street

and picked up a pound in a bag. I was so happy.

I came back home

and I ate them.

and they were completely rotten.

So I went back there and told them their beans were spoiled.

Turns out that they weren't beans at all. It was...

Wasabi?

Something japanese. It's...

There wasn't any when you...

So everybody looked at me as if I were an imbecile.

How shameful.

That's funny.

That's all. I wanted to tell somebody.

Tell you.

Suddenly I wanted to hear you laugh.

Also, I thought, perhaps...

you haven't been to my apartment yet and I

need some advice on how to furnish it.

So I thought...

I'm going out with somebody today.

Just going out for coffee.

- I can cancel it. - No. Absolutely not.

Absolutely not.

No, no... You can come some other time.

Not a problem.

No, no, I mean...

it's not just for today. I...

If you don't want me to go out with him...

No. No way...

I can't ask you to do such a thing.

I too...

go out sometimes.

once or twice.

Okay, I won't keep you.

I'm also busy. I have to finish off

my japanese beans.

Nimrod, if you don't want me to go out with him...

I'm glad you called.

Bye.

So? What happened?

- What? - Your chat, what happened?

Nothing happened.

He wanted to tell me something funny that happened today. That's all.

Then, you're gonna see him now?

No, Dana, I'm not going to see him.

So then, where are you going?

To have some coffee.

Who with?

You're up.

- How are you feeling? - Truth is, excellent. I needed the rest.

Today I went to the video club "Ozen", at the Colony.

We won't go out today,

we'll slouch in the sofa with a movie. We'll do nothing.

Only rest.

Perfect.

When are we traveling?

When Amiel comes back.

Okay,

when Amiel comes back.

And she tells me a story. She says: "I...

"walk along the river"

"to my right, I see my whole family..."

Hey, you aren't paying attention.

I'm sorry. You're right

You want to talk about it?

Not really.

I had a fight with Dana.

She asked where I was going.

You revealed everything and now you have me implicated.

If it's too premature for you,

- I would understand perfectly. - No. That's not it.

I want to be here.

- We haven't ordered yet. - No.

I feel very proud of having called you.

Even when I was sure you would say no.

Completely sure?

Are you ready to order?

Hello, Dana.

What are doing here?

I'm coming to live with you.

- Surprise! - What?

I'm coming to live with you. I had a fight with Mom.

You don't look surprised in the least.

- I'm not. - What do you mean?

Mom told me.

That she was going out with Ostrovsky?

That she was going out with somebody. She didn't say who.

- It doesn't matter in the least. - It doesn't matter to you. To me, it does.

He's Ehud's father.

Dana,

Mom went trough a difficult time.

We separated. I left home. It's not right I should tell her...

What's this bullshit?

- What are you, gay? - Dana, calm down.

I really don't understand you. Do you love her?

Because if that's the case, you must fight. What are you waiting for?

It's not that simple.

There are things you don't know.

I have issues to resolve.

So resolve your bullshit issues once and for all!

Resolve your silly issues and fight for her.

Do you know what a fabulous woman you're about to lose?

You will never find anyone like her.

Hey.

Nimrod. Hello.

I'm sorry for the late hour. I...

What?

Ah, yes, yes. Uri told me about the Jamal thing.

I, however, I'm not...

No, I...

am not calling about that.

I wanted to know,

the nightmares I have...

Remember we spoke about that at the complex?

Yes, yes, exactly.

I wanted to know if there's any treatment I might try.

Ah, is that right?

What kind?

Nurit, can I ask you something?

Of course.

I don't want to be buried.

What do you mean?

If something happened to me I don't want to be buried in the ground.

I can't be confined in an enclosed space.

I can't even think about it.

Uri, what happened?

Why do you speak of such things?

Nothing happened.

No. The truth is I feel alright. It's just I...

It's something I think about.

I don't think there's an appropriate moment to say it, so...

I want my body cremated and ashes scattered in the sea.

But absolutely not to be buried, all right?

Enough, Uri, I'm not ready to talk about this.

I just want to be sure you...

- knew my wishes. - Uri, why do you...

Tell me you've heard what I said, please.

- Promise me... - All right. - ...that you won't bury me.

I can't be enclosed anymore.

I can't.

It's okay.

It's okay.

You won't be buried.

I promise.

Enough for today. Come to eat.

Laila says I'm too hard on you.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for giving me...

What's this?

A photograph.

You can't take anything with you.

It's not for me.

I'm sorry. I can't let you take it.

Please.

I want to leave her a good memory of me.

Please.

- Take this. - What is it?

Read it in the tunnel and burn it immediately after.

Some instructions of how to get in touch with me from now on.

Is it not possible to communicate trough here?

Tomorrow morning we'll seal that tunnel with concrete cement.

Tell her I'm sorry

for everything.

Tell her yourself in ten year's time.

But I don't understand.

What happened ten years later?

When were you supposed to return?

May 6th, 1991.

But that's...

You.

That's what happened.

You.

Coming up on PRISONERS OF WAR

Do you think he could share the organization's leadership with you?

He's dedicated, intelligent.

But he's impulsive. He has no patience.

One is 'alef'.

Two is 'bet'.

Three is 'guimel'.

Go now. Go quickly

See if there's anything there. We'll meet back in my office.

You think I didn't do enough for you, right?

To bring you back.

Nurit, this is a fact. Talia organized rallies,

traveled throughout the world, met with leaders,

organized marches and...

Whereas all I did was marry your brother, right?

Is that what you think happened?

What you're looking for, does not exist.

I threw everything away.

You can go look for it in the garbage dump.

- How can it be? - What?
