A NETFLIX SERIES
- [men shout in Arabic]
- [Pia screams]
[in English] You want Hamas to save
your daughter from these terrorists?
- Your standing will go through the roof.
- Now, you are insulting me!
[Anat] Minister, do the right thing.
Rescue my children.
Bring them home. We want them!
It's them.
Their hands are tied behind their backs.
These are hostages.
[weeping]
If there is any attempt to find us,
we will be killed immediately.
Can you get it done or not?
[Grant] Above them, in control position,
waiting for the green light.
Go.
[silenced gunshot]

[Pia screams]

- [overlapping radio chatter]
[under breath] Fuck.
Pull out and keep a low profile.
You were never there.
You realise, if anyone finds out
I was behind this, my life will be ruined?
Mine and yours.
[tense pulsating music plays]
[sighs deeply]
[terrorist, in Arabic]
Do not count as dead
those who are killed
in the cause of Allah.
Rather they are living
only you perceive not.
Allah is great!
In the name of God,
the most gracious, the most merciful.
Master of the day of judgment.
We worship only You,
and we seek help from You.
Guide us to the straight path.
The path of those You blessed,
not of the condemned, nor of the lost.
Amen!
[Pia, in English] Okay.
Okay, take this side.
- [Nadav groans]
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
[Nadav groaning]
- [Pia] Take this.
- [Noa, softly] Nadav.
[Pia] We have to put it
really tight, okay?
[Nadav sighs]
[Pia] As As hard as you can, okay?
- Good, good, good, good. Harder.
- [Nadav groaning]
- Yalla. Hurry up!
- [Nadav pants]
Dress!
Yalla. Three minutes, we move.
Yalla!
[Nadav breathing heavily]
[indistinct chatter in Arabic]
[terrorist] Get them out!
[indistinct chatter continues]
- [Yusuf, in English] Go, go, go!
- [Nadav groans]
[Yusuf, in Arabic] Walk.
[Ali] Khaled.
Set up that area.
Prepare the camera.
Put it in the same place.
Bring the girls.
Are we going to film again?
[Ali] They killed our men.
Somebody's gotta pay.
Cover your face and bring the girls.
[tense pulsating music plays]
[Bill Clinton, in English] Today,
we bear witness to an extraordinary act
in one of history's defining dramas.
[camera shutter snaps]
[child laughs]
[indistinct shouting]
[Pia screams]
Good morning.
- [indistinct chatter]
- [acoustic guitar strums]
Good morning.
Morning.
Hey.
[man] It's a problem?
- If problem, I take and go.
- No, no, no.
- How much for these?
- [vender] Uh, this is five euro.
Five euro?
[vender] No, no, no.
I-I-I no take money from you.
Alex? Hi.
Arik is waiting.
- Please?
- Okay, thank you.
[door closes]
[Alex sighs]
- It's a nice picture.
- Mm-hmm.
Alex, something happened.
But it's crucial that everything
I tell you now stays between us.
Yes, yes, of course.
What happened?
There was an attempt to free the hostages.
Yes.
[Alex] Uh
But it failed.
- [Alex gasps and sighs]
- I don't exactly know why it went wrong.
[Alex sighs]
Did something happen to her?
N-Not that I know of, no.
Please.
Can you tell me?
[gasps] Did something
[voice trembles] Is
Is she alive?
I
Tell me, is she alive
or is she dead? Please!
I don't know.
- You don't know?
- I don't know.
[sobs] What do you mean you don't know?
[inhales agitatedly]
[weeps]
What? Please, tell me.
[phone vibrates]
- [under breath] Fuck.
- [phone vibrates]
Hello?
[Alex sobbing softly]
[Arik] Sure. I'll be right there.
- [Alex sighs deeply]
- [Arik] Bye.
[Alex breathes heavily]
I have to go, Alex.
- But we
- They just notified me.
ISIS has sent a new video.
[gasps and sighs]
[Ali] We warned you
that your only hope was to deal with us.
And still, you wouldn't listen.
Because of the aggression,
and the stupidity of the Israelis
the family of this girl
have you to blame.
And this girl will take the punishment
of your act.
[breathing heavily]
[Ali] Speak.
[voice quivers in terror]
The Israeli government
was asked to release
ISIS prisoners.
But [pants breathlessly]
[exhales sharply]
but instead
a pitiful Zionist rescue force
showed up here tonight
[whimpers and breath trembles]
a a and tried to release us.
They have failed.
Noa!
- Noa! Noa!
- [terrorist shouts]
- [Noa pants]
- [Ali] Keep going.
[breathing heavily]
The Israelis
[sobs]
need to know
that th-they alone are responsible for
[sobbing]
[breathing very heavily]
for my u-unnecessary death.
[shrieks] Noa!
- [terrorist grumbles]
- [Nadav] Noa, no!
- [terrorist shouts]
- [Nadav] Noa!
[tense music plays]
[blade unsheathes]
[tense music drowns out audio]
[sombre music plays]
People
People, we only have a small window
of opportunity in which to locate them.
Intelligence, do we have a trace?
I need a location quickly. Uri.
Uri, place the scan
based on their transmission.
Got it? Alright, then.
We'll follow the trace until
- [Karl] It wasn't Pia.
- [Alex] No, it wasn't.
- [Karl] Thank God.
- [Alex sighs]
[Karl] I could swear that was her.
[Alex] Yes, me too. [breath quivers]
- [Karl sighs]
- [Alex] It's crazy!
It's so good to hear your voice.
- [sighs]
- [Karl] How's the other mother doing?
No, it's completely
It's completely crazy.
I don't know what to [gasps]
I don't know what to do. [sobs]
[Alex sighs deeply]
- It's total chaos.
- Right.
- Do you want to come home?
- [Alex] No.
No, I can't.
[Karl] But isn't it the best thing
to do right now?
No, it's alright.
[Karl] She's going to be alright.
You know that, right?
Of course, but [sighs]
[Karl] We must do everything
we can to get her freed.
[people sobbing]
- Blessed art Thou
- [meekly] Blessed art Thou
God, our Lord
God, our Lord
- King of our universe
- King of our universe
The true judge
[sobs] The true judge.
[woman] Mm.
[Anat sobs]
[breathing heavily]
[breath trembles]
[voiced sigh]
You're shaking.
- I'm cold.
- [thud]
[Yusuf grunts]
- [shovel thuds and scrapes]
- [Yusuf grunts]
[grunting increasingly agitatedly]
[shouts]
- [terrorist, in Arabic] That's enough.
- [Yusuf] I'm done.
- [terrorist speaks Arabic]
- [Yusuf] That's enough!
[pants]
[grunting loudly]
[footsteps approaching slowly]
[terrorist] Come on.
[Yusuf pants softly]
[pants]
[terrorist] I wish they all die.
[Yusuf pants softly]
[gentle sombre music plays]
[rabbi] Blessed be the true judge.
Don't cry. We, uh
It's better if we pray, huh?
We must believe in prayer.
[sings prayer in Hebrew]
[people singing prayer]
[echoing voices singing]
[singing fades out]
[sombre music drowns out audio]
[Yusuf sighs]
[rabbi sobs]
[weeps loudly]
Why did you tell her?
Why did you tell her?
- Why? Why? Why?
- [Pia] Shh.
- Stop, stop, stop.
- [Nadav pants]
[softly] Stop.
- [sobs] It was my fault.
- [Pia] Shh.
- What?
- It was my fault.
- Your fault? No, no, it's not.
- Yes.
Yes, yes, I told her to come.
- I told her to come.
- Yeah, but Nadav
I should have told them to kill me.
- No, Nadav. Nadav, listen.
- I should have told them to kill me!
- Listen. Look at me. Look at me.
- No.
There was nothing
you could have done, okay?
There was nothing you could have done.
[pages shuffle]
[pages shuffle]
What happened?
Hmm?
You're a disgrace to humanity.
Do you know that?
No, worse.
You're a fucking monster.
- Someone is dead, huh?
- [Karl] Yeah.
I take it it's not Pia.
If it had been Pia, I would have
been strangling you right now.
- Oh, really?
- [Karl] Yeah.
Huh.
You're aware
if anything happens to her
I will make sure
that you spend the rest of your life
in a godforsaken prison in a country
somewhere in the Middle East
Well, let's just hope
it doesn't come to that, shall we?
Look, I rely on you to get me out
and you rely on me to get Pia out.
Well, I've, uh, been through
[inhales deeply]
every aspect of your case, every detail.
[Abu] And?
There's nothing there
that we can use to fight for a retrial.
Nothing.
As I understand it,
if we file for a retrial, I go to court.
- Yeah.
- [inhales]
I might not get acquitted in the retrial,
but just get me to court, okay?
[door unlocks]
Oh, um
give Sidi an update, yeah?
[hesitantly] Yeah, um [sighs]
I-I-I've talked to Abu Salim,
and he wanted me to give you an update.
Yes. So?
Well, that's the odd thing,
'cause I didn't have any news for him,
but-but he only seemed concerned
about getting a court case.
Sure.
[Karl] What do you mean?
[Sidi] Thanks.
- [footsteps departing]
- But for what?
[Sidi] Just get him a court case. [sighs]
I th I-I think they're planning
to use force to free Abu Salim
at the the courthouse.
[Alex] What-- What makes you think that?
[Karl] They don't care at all
about the court proceedings anymore.
They only care about
when his court case will begin.
[Alex] Well, so you think
there will be an attack?
Yeah Uh, I'm not sure.
[Alex] And that was the only way
to help Pia?
- Yeah.
- [Alex] Because we don't have a case?
[Karl] I-I-I can't let terrorists
attack a Norwegian court of law.
[Alex] Well, do we have a choice?
[Karl] There must be
another way to do this.
[woman] Prime Minister,
the security cabinet is on the line.
[Prime Minister] Bring me the heads
of the murderers, those sons of bitches.
Sir, I think ISIS need to understand
if they do not release the two hostages,
we will open the gates of hell upon them.
[Prime Minister] Close to finding them?
Give me some good news, gentlemen.
We'll locate them soon enough, sir.
Our satellites and drones are scanning
every centimetre of the desert.
- But the Egyptians are furious with us.
- [Prime Minister] They're right.
They also think it was us.
- Arik, are you handling this with Nabil?
- Yes. Yes, sir.
[Prime Minister] Ruth, Udi, find out
who the idiots were behind this screw-up.
Make it a top priority at once.
I think this was an independent
guerrilla operation.
Maybe even a militia from Norway.
I'll set up an investigation team
to look into profiles
of private units in Israel.
Yes, but shouldn't our focus right now
be on how we rescue the hostages?
[Chaim] You heard the Prime Minister.
Top priority.
Whoever it is,
that poor girl's murder is on them.
[inhales deeply]
[ringing tone]
[phone rings]
I can't talk.
- [Alex] What's happening?
- All hell is happening.
I mean, what are you doing in regards to
[Arik] I can't do anything more, okay?
They're going to come looking for me now.
[Alex] But you can't
I mean, we can't just give up.
No.
But at the moment, my hands are tied.
I'll figure something out.
And you, don't say a thing.
But how?
[under breath] Goddammit!
[sighs]
[water splashes]
[Alex sighs]
[distant siren blaring]
[Mosh] We're losing our momentum, Chaim,
to go in.
We're waiting for Ruth.
Okay.
We checked.
It's certainly not a Norwegian force.
[Chaim] Who the hell is it?
[Ruth] We're looking into mercenaries
from Eastern Europe.
While we're in the dark
about this operation,
the Egyptians are getting
increasingly hostile.
We can't talk to anyone over there, Chaim.
Why don't we put pressure on Hamas?
The Hamas?
What do they have to do with all of this?
[Arik] Hamas control Gaza, no?
Make them understand, if ISIS hurt them,
if they touch them, even one,
Gaza will pay,
and they will pay very dearly!
That'll come back to us like a boomerang.
Attacks lead to attacks.
- You'll see Israelis run to the shelters
- Then make them run to the shelters!
The Hamas should understand
that they have to solve the problem.
There's no other way.
We have to save those kids,
Chaim, you know?
Just make a choice.
Maski.
- [Nadav gasps and groans]
- [Pia] I know, I know.
- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- [Nadav groans]
[Pia] Stay still, Nadav.
You have to sit still.
- [Nadav groaning in agony]
- [Pia] Nearly there.
- Goddammit!
- [Pia] Shh.
- [grunts] Fuck!
- [Pia] Shh.
- Fuck, that hurts! [groans]
- [Pia] I know, I know.
- [Nadav grunts] Slowly!
- [Pia] Nearly there.
[Nadav panting]
- [Pia] You okay?
- [Nadav] Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm okay.
[breathless] I'm okay.
- [Pia] I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
It's okay. Thank you. Thank you.
[Pia] You're doing good.
[sighs deeply]
[Pia] Good.
- They will kill us too, you know.
- [Pia] Shh.
- [Nadav] They will, Pia.
- [Pia] You need to rest.
[child giggling]
- [resounding boom]
- [children shout]
[indistinct shouting]
[sirens blaring]
[Layla, in Arabic]
I wish the bombing to stop.
- [baby crying]
- [mobile phone ringing]
Excuse me.
[phone continues ringing]
Yusuf?
[Yusuf] Mum.
Thank God you're fine.
[Yusuf] I'm alright, Mum.
I'm so worried about you. Where are you?
[sobs]
[hesitates] I
[Layla] Yusuf.
I'm with them, Mum.
- [Layla] What do you mean?
- With those who have Pia.
You are what?
[Yusuf] I've messed up, Mum.
I'm really in a hot mess.
You need to help me get back home.
[terrorist] Yusuf!
[Yusuf] I have to go.
No. Wait!
I'll call you back later, Mum.
Hello?
Hello?
Yusuf?
[Ali speaks indistinctly on video]
[Noa sobbing]
[knocking]
[Layla, in English] Alex?
Wh-What are you doing here?
I'm
- [Alex] Is this a bad time?
- [Layla sighs]
No, I'm just
You know, it's all a bit
too much right now.
- Yes, I know.
- [loud boom]
- [Alex] Oh!
- [rubble clatters]
[Layla] Oh, my God. Come.
- [distant sirens]
- [muffled dogs barking]
[Alex breathing heavily]
Listen. [sighs]
[inhales sharply] I need help.
[sighs] I need to see Bashir again.
No. I-I'm not going back there.
It was a mistake.
Listen. We need to give Hamas
a better reason to act.
Please, I have to give it another try.
[voice breaks] Sorry.
[children chatter in distance]
[sighs] Okay.
I'll go alone.
[child in distance] Mama!
[inhales] Yeah.
Wait! Wait, wait.
Coming back to Bashir like this
- That we don't
- Don't worry.
I have something else for them.
Something I should have told you
a long time ago.
[tense music plays]
- [Bashir, in Arabic] Alright?
- Okay.
[footsteps approaching]
Hello.
[Bashir] Hello.
Sit down.
Mr Bashir
thank you for letting us
see you one more time.
I told you, there's nothing
we can do for her daughter.
But my friend has a suggestion now.
Oslo talks again?
[in English] Go on.
[inhales] First of all,
I want to thank you.
[inhales and sighs]
[sighs]
As you made it clear
the last time we talked,
you could not see any good reason
for you to go into Sinai
and bring Pia and Nadav back.
That's correct.
What if I gave you
another very good reason
to bring them back?
What if you get to the point
right away?
[breathes nervously]
I have valuable knowledge.
Facts that could help you a lot.
Go on.
[nervously] Before I give you
this information, I need to
I need to have a guarantee.
[inhales] You need to promise me this.
[inhales] If I give
this information to you,
and you find it useful
you will do what you can
to get Pia and Nadav out.
[tense music continues]
[Alex] You can find out where they are.
You have troops.
Your armed forces can rescue them.
And with this information
it will be useful.
You can stop the bombing with it.
Okay.
[Alex] Really?
You have a deal.
If your information is useful to us
we will do whatever we can
to get them out.
Do you know Arik Shor? [sighs]
Yes, of course.
Why do you ask?
[inhales] What if you could make sure
that Arik owes you a very big favour
by saving Pia?
Arik Shor
[tense music continues]
is Pia's father.
Is he now?
[music continues]
My, my
Do you realise what you have just done?
[tense music builds]
[music fades out]
- [woman moans]
- [whip cracks]
[man, in deep voice] Monster.
