The Girl from Oslo (2021) s01e07 Episode Script

A NETFLIX SERIES
- [Yusuf, in Arabic] Mum.
- [Layla] I talked with Bashir.
If you go back,
they will forgive you, on one condition.
You must bring Pia and Nadav.
But that's impossible.
[Ali] Today, you'll be one of us.
[in English] Please, don't do this!
[in Arabic] Take this.
[Pia sobs, in English]
Our demands were clear enough.
Release the prisoners
in Norway and in Israel.
Cease all your drone activity.
If not, the hostages will be
facing the consequences.
[in Arabic] If they don't do as we ask,
you go ahead and kill that girl.
- [muffled screams]
- [Yusuf] Shh, shh.
- [in English] It's important you trust me.
- [Pia] Why would I trust you?
[Yusuf] I'm gonna make things right.
- We're going home.
- [terrorist, in Arabic] Stop!
[terrorist grunting]
[groans and chokes]
- [Yusuf yells]
- [terrorist groans]
[sheep bleating]
May he rest in peace.
Goddamn him.
How did he betray us?
[man prays in Arabic]
[Ali] May he rest in peace.
Get in the trucks.
[man prays in Arabic]
Start it up!
They took the satellite phone.
Bring the phone you have there!
[engine starts]
[Pia panting]
[Bill Clinton, in English] Today,
we bear witness to an extraordinary act
in one of history's defining dramas.
[camera shutter clicks]
[child laughs]
[indistinct shouting]
[Pia screams]
[Maski] Arik,
there's something here I need to show you.
They're walking fast,
but one of them is limping. See?
- [Mosh] Can you zoom in any closer?
- [Maski] No.
All we have is the satellite image.
This is the closest we can get.
[Arik] Is it Bedouins?
Well, they're dressed like Bedouins.
But, look, the way they move
suggests otherwise.
Could those be the hostages?
- [Maski] Could be.
- [Mosh] Oh.
Strange, only one person guarding them.
- Mosh, could we bring in the Matkal Unit?
- The Egyptians will be furious.
They're unwilling to hear
of any cooperation
- I'll try to talk again to Nabil.
- Try. Let's put a drone in the air.
Despite their ultimatum?
We'll put it up high,
reduce the risk of them spotting it.
[radio static]
[man] The weather conditions
could pose a problem, gentlemen.
A serious sandstorm.
Look, it's coming in from the south, sir.
[Arik] And they have no protection.
- [sighs] And with this weather
- [Maski] We can forget about the drones.
[cars honking]
[sirens blaring]
[indistinct shouting in Arabic]
[Layla] Sleep, little bird ♪
Sleep, little girl ♪
Sleep under my wing ♪
And rest in your nest ♪
You're a sweet little bird.
Do you know that, you little bird?
[loud rumbling]
[woman] She'll be alright, God willing.
She will have to go through chemotherapy.
- You mean, in Jerusalem?
- [Layla] Yes.
[woman] Okay.
[sighs] We filed for a permit.
- But as you know
- [phone vibrates]
[phone vibrating]
I'm sorry.
- I need to take this. Excuse me.
- [phone vibrating]
[Yusuf] Yes, Mum.
[Layla] Thank God. Where are you, my son?
I have to be quick.
I've got them out, both of them.
Are they okay?
[sighs] Not exactly.
- What do you mean?
- [Yusuf sighs]
The Israeli guy has a bullet wound,
and he's slowing us down.
[Layla sighs]
Yusuf
You must bring them both.
That was the deal.
Is there anything I can do?
Pray for me, Mum.
Pray? I haven't done that since
Please, Mum.
Okay.
- Okay.
- [Yusuf] Thank you, Mum.
[sighs]
[exhales deeply]
[ringing tone]
- [line clicks]
- [Alex] Layla?
[in English] Alex I don't want
to get your hopes up too early.
Okay.
- [Layla] Something is happening.
- What's happening?
I can't really say much,
but wheels are starting to move.
[Alex] I guess
you're talking about Bashir.
I swore I wouldn't say.
Has Bashir set something in motion?
Yes.
But that's all I can say for now.
- I'm coming to you, okay?
- [Layla] No, no, no.
That's why I'm calling you.
This whole thing,
it depends on you being able
to convince Arik to talk to Bashir.
I see.
- You know, he's really stubborn.
- [Layla] I know.
[sighs] I'll find a way.
- You will have to.
- [Alex] Take care.
[Layla] You too.
[phone keypad clacking]

[phone rings]
[phone rings]
Hello?
[Alex] Oh, hi, Dana. It's it's Alex.
Hi, Alex.
Uh, how can I help you?
I'm trying to reach Arik.
I would really,
really like to talk to him.
I guess he is, uh, too busy,
you know, uh, but
trust me, Alex, Arik is doing what he can.
Yeah. You're right. Um
I'm sorry, uh
but just, uh tell him I called.
- [Dana] Okay.
- [Alex sighs]
[Nadav coughing]
- [Yusuf mutters indistinctly]
- [all pant]
[Nadav breathing heavily]
Okay, listen.
[pants] Listen, we're too exposed up here.
We need to go down.
[breathless] Now. Let's go down.
Yusuf, come on, hurry up.
[groans in pain]
Come on. [pants]
[ominous music plays]
[wind howls]
[distant engines rumble]
[Nadav] Come on!
[Pia screams]
What's this? Who are they?
[Maski] They look like ISIS.
They're in pursuit of the three.
[ringing tone]
[ringing tone]
[phone rings]
[Arik] I'm not going to talk to them,
and I'm not going to change my mind
no matter how many times
you fucking call me.
- [line disconnects]
- [under breath] Fuck's sake!
[sighs]
[tense music plays]
[in Arabic] The Israeli's getting weaker.
Excellent.
That's good news.
- Let's go.
- They're going that way.
Where the storm is coming from.
[wind gusting]
[in English] What are they doing?
Can't they see they're inside a storm?
[wind gusting]
- [Nadav coughing]
- [Pia pants] Come on!
[grunting and panting]
- They're heading straight for it.
- [Mosh] Poor things.
[Pia] Nadav, come on!
[violent wind howling]
[Nadav] No! No! We need to stay down!
- [Pia pants]
- [Nadav] Stay down! Cover your faces!
- [Pia pants]
- [Nadav] Cover your faces!
[Pia, breathless] Okay.
[pants]
- [in Arabic] Wait for the storm to pass.
- We can't.
- Let's go to the vehicle.
- [man] No, we can't do that.
[gun cocks]
Move.
You think you can find them without me?
We can't see anything.
Instead of killing me,
let's get back to the car
and wait for the storm to pass.
[in English] Manor,
how long till the storm passes?
- [Manor] We aren't sure.
- [keyboard clacking]
[water trickles]
[Chaim sighs]
[seagull mewing]
[sighs deeply]
[phone vibrating]
Alex? Uh, uh Do you have any news?
[Alex] No, not at all. I
[sighs] I just
[sighs]
I just wanted to hear your voice.
[sobs]
Well, uh
[clears throat] How are you doing?
[Alex's breath trembles]
[sobs] I don't know.
I just [sobs]
I'm afraid.
It's like speaking to a wall.
You know? I just
It's like standing in front
of a fucking wall, and I want to
[voice breaking]
smash through the wall with my hands.
And so, I smash, and smash, and I smash.
I try to f-find some kind of spot
on the wall where
[sniffs and sobs]
to find out where the weak spot is.
- [Karl] I know that feeling well.
- [sobs]
But maybe we just have to
to-to-to wait.
[Alex] Wait for what?
[sighs]
Hel Alex? Are are you there?
[Alex] Yes. [sobs]
[Karl] It seems you've tried everything,
that there's nothing more
Maybe there is one. Yes.
Yes, there may be one more place
I could still try.
[sighs]
- [in Arabic] Can you see them?
- [man] No.
What do you mean?
I don't see them.
Surely, they must be somewhere.
Probably.
Don't test my patience.
They will have left tracks,
but we need to get closer.
[Ali] Get in the car.
Let's go, guys!
[spits]
[spits]
[Yusuf coughing]
[coughs]
[Pia, in English] Where is Nadav?
[Yusuf] Nadav!
[Nadav shouts and coughs]
Can I get a hand?
[pants]
Wait, wait, wait, wait. [grunts]
[inhales sharply and grunts]
[Yusuf] Are you okay?
[Nadav coughs]
Yeah. Yeah. [groans]
- [Yusuf] Come on, get up.
- [Nadav pants] Fuck.
No. Fuck.
[pants]
I'm not okay. Fuck. Come on.
Come on, let's go.
Let's go! [pants]
We need to wipe all our tracks, okay?
- [Pia] Wipe all our tracks?
- Okay? We walk in one line and then wipe.
[pants and groans]
Fuck.
- [pants]
- [Yusuf] Come on.
[sighs] Come on.
We're starting to get an image here.
They're coming out of it.
They're coming out
of the sandstorm, there!
Look, it looks like they're headed
right for that creek, there.
I need a precise image now.
Get all the eagles back in the air.
Eagles One to Four, I need you right away
at the creek by the Giraffe axis.
Our three subjects are headed north-west.
I need eyes on the wheels too.
There are dirties there.
[tense music plays]

[Nadav grunting]
[Pia] Come on, Nadav.

[Yusuf whispers] Come on.
- [Nadav sighs]
- [gravel crunches in distance]
- [Pia] Is it them?
- I don't know.
[all breathe heavily]
What if it's someone else?
Maybe we could use that car.
[Nadav] What if it's them?
[Pia pants]
Pia! Pia!
[Pia screams] Stop!
Stop! Yes, stop! Stop!
Stop!
[pants]
[Nadav] Get the fuck out of the car.

Didn't you say we should come this way?
Say something!

is for Arik to get involved.

in your deal, Yusuf?

[Karl breathes heavily]
[laughing]
Minister Nabil, my friend,
we seem to be in a race
against time right now.
I really need your approval, sir.
[Chaim] Did it get complicated?
Nothing. No approval. They won't clear it.
Sons of bitches.
I'm going to the prime minister.
[Arik] Mm-hmm.
[sighs]
[under breath] I can't believe it.
Well, for now, no clearance.
[Mosh] Never mind.
Forget it. It's too late.
- It's too late for what?
- [Mosh] Look.
Can't you see where they are headed?
[under breath] Fuck.
[tense music plays]
They're on their way to Rafah.
And that's it?
Is there nothing else we can do?
They're too close to the border.
It's right on the edge.
ISIS will get them now, and it's over.
If you think about it,
that's not the worst thing
that could happen.
What are you telling me? What
We're gonna sit here and watch them die
in front of us, are we?
Think coldly, Arik.
If they fall captive to the Hamas,
they could rot there for years.
If they survive captivity,
who knows how many prisoners
Hamas will want to set them free?
[tense music continues]
[engine revving]
They're gonna catch them in a second.
Let's do something, goddammit!
[Ali, in Arabic] Go!
[in English] Come on! Go!
[Ali, in Arabic] Faster, faster, please!
Come on!
[Arik, in English]
Now, they don't have any place to hide.
[Pia shouts] Come on!
Go!
Go, go, go!

[shot ricochets]

- Let's go!
[Pia] Where, Yusuf?
[gunfire]
- [Pia screams]
- [Yusuf] Come on, come on, Nadav!

- [Pia pants]
- [Yusuf] Come on, we can find it! Come on!
- [Pia screams]
- [Nadav] We can't find it!
[Arik] I know those coordinates.
There used to be a smuggling tunnel,
but we blew it up two years ago.
It's now not there.
If it's blocked,
they'll be going straight out
into the arms of their pursuers?
[gunfire]
[Pia screams] Nadav!
[gun cocks]

[tense music builds]

- [whip cracks]
[man, in deep voice] Monster.
