Bethlehem Page #2

I had to beg him to hire you.

There was nothing to do.

I was sweeping all day.

You can't just leave work like that!

He'd play video games

all day if you let him.

But I work.

Why do you say I don't?

Get inside! Go!

Open up!

I told you not to lock this door!

Between you and me,

I'm very worried.

After the King George attack,

everythings changed.

I haven't slept since.

Tell Ibrahim to come

to my jail in Jericho.

Just for a month or two,

until things cool down.

Where is he now?

Hiding in some basement, or a cave,

alone like a dog...

You think the Israelis

won't find him there too?

He'll only be safe with me.

We'll treat him like a king.

Hello, Badawi.

So... I have to run into you

fifty times a day, Badawi...

Abu Ibrahim, I have to go.

Call if you need anything.

Allah be with you.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- Did you talk to Ibrahim?

- He's not talking to anyone right now.

But he's fine. Don't worry.

I'll send someone

to fix the wall.

What did Abu usa want?

Ibrahim in his jail?

Yes. What do you think?

That Abu usa...

he cant wait for the

Jews to kill me and Ibrahim.

He's a snake.

Always was, always will be.

Did you see that limping dog

who came with him?

I once saw that gimp

put someone in jail,

just so he could

mess around with his wife.

- The Ziads shot him in the ass after he hit on their sister.

- Right.

They say the bullet

is still in his ass.

And now he's a big shot

with a bullet in his ass.

Wait here.

What happened to you?

- Was he shot?

- I don't know...

We took some shrapnel

out of his stomach.

We were told to bring him down here,

and not to ask questions.

What happened to you?

You did that stunt with Jamal?!

Why do you do sh*t like that?

- No reason.

- No reason?! You could have been killed.

Who lets himself get shot?!

How did you get here?

I walked.

You walked all this way?

I sneaked around the checkpoint.

Nobody saw me.

Why didn't you call me?

I knew exactly what

you would've said.

- You're not going, right?

- I'm just gonna get...

No, stay with me.

- I'm not going, one second...

- Stay here. Don't go.

- I'm not going...

- Don't leave me.

I don't want my father

to see I'm injured.

We will figure this out.

I won't leave until

we figure it out.

Look at me...

I'm not going.

Okay...?

Honored minister,

the mayor is waiting for you

in anger Square,

and with him, Abu usa, head of

of Preventive Security.

Welcome to Bethlehem.

What's that?

They scared the minister away.

Who's entering Bethlehem

without our permission?

Call Abu usa.

He's on the line.

Who is that? Badawi?

Tell him he owes us

17,000 shekels.

Tell him we owe him nothing.

And tell him...

You give us the money!

Maybe the clerk has a

little money...

Go down and get it.

- There's not much...

- All of you, go get it.

It's Ibrahim.

Hello.

I heard the Israelis

visited my familys home.

They came and did some damage,

but not much.

Take care of my family.

Give them what they need.

What can I give them?

Are you complaining again?

What's with you?

I hear things... rumors...

People say you started

working with the 'beards'.

Me and Hamas?

Where did you hear that sh*t?!

I'm stuck here alone, like a dog,

eating canned food,

not even a cockroach to talk to.

And now I need your bullshit too?!

Why am I hearing things

about Ibrahim and Hamas...

things that you should've told me?

It's all I knew, I swear.

You swear?

Don't swear, okay?

Don't swear!

Ibrahim and Hamas,

I already know a hundred things

that you should've told me!

How do they transfer

money to him?

Look at me!

Look at me!

Speak up!

How do they transfer

money to him?

His brother.

Don't f*** with me.

Who is this brother?

The young one, Sanfur.

They call him "Sanfur,"

you know, meaning "Smurf."

His brother has nothing

to do with this.

Don't give me this sh*t.

No, I swear.

It's his brother.

'Esau' hid this from you

for three months?

Yes.

Transferred money to his brother,

right under your nose!

I know.

What do you mean "I know"?

- It's his brother...

- What did you say?!

Nothing. You're right.

When's the next transfer?

We intercepted a communication

from Hamas. Probably Thursday.

When is 'Esau' out

of the hospital?

Tomorrow.

'Esau' needs to lead us to his next

rendezvous with Ibrahim.

We'll send a chopper,

kill Ibrahim when they meet.

What about 'Esau'?

I'm not sure I can push

him that far.

He lied to you.

Use it against him.

He can advance in al-Aqsa Brigades,

why waste him?

This asset betrayed us,

and you're still protecting him?

You baby-sat this kid for

over two years now,

and he helped his brother finance

the King George attack!

I don't give a fuk if we lose him.

Make sure 'Esau' leads us

to his brother on Thursday.

I've invested so much

in this kid, Levi.

Phone calls, meetings,

patience, attention.

I spent more time with him

than with my own kids.

And just the hassle of getting permits

to recruit someone so young...

In a few years, this kid will be a

leader in the Palestinian resistance.

And he's attached to me,

he's like my own son.

What's the matter with you? Huh?

You should have

one thing on your mind:

Ibrahim al-asri,

where is he?

Where is Ibrahim al-asri?

He's hiding somewhere.

Do you know where?

He murdered 30 Israelis

and youre whining

about his brother?!

Get a grip.

You know what they say

when the whore starts

getting off with the customers.

Which shirt do you want?

Which do you think?

This one?

Give it to me.

- Give me your phone.

- Why?

Just give it to me.

Why?

Give me, I'll tell you.

This phone is better.

No more excuses about bad reception.

It looks the same, so you won't

have to explain anything to anyone.

Okay...?

Okay.

- Same number...

- Fine.

Enough.

What about the jeans

you promised me?

- You don't deserve it.

- But you promised.

The last ones cost 700 shekels

and were ruined in the laundry.

I'll make you pay for that...

Be careful with the money.

Yeah, I know.

You said you don't want your

father to see your wound, right?

What can I do?

You once told me you wanted

to visit your aunt.

My aunt in Hebron?

I thought you said that.

Maybe I'm wrong.

That's a good idea.

I can take a taxi

from the checkpoint.

Maybe it's not such a good idea.

Why not? It's a great idea.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I don't want my dad

to see my injury.

It was your idea.

Why is Hamas sending

al-Aqsa Brigades money now?

The Palestinian Authority

wants a cease fire

now that the Americans are here.

Hamas wants to 'encourage' al-Aqsa

militants to carry out attacks,

to make the Palestinian Authority

look bad.

Hamas is sending Ibrahim

money, this coming Thursday.

Their contact is a grocer

at the vegetable market.

Raci's asset is going to

transfer the money to Ibrahim.

Something's changed.

My asset won't be in Bethlehem

Thursday. He went to Hebron.

Hebron? Just like that,

he went to Hebron?

He doesn't want his father
