Bethlehem Page #4
Put the martyr down!
Stop! Put him down.
Get out, all of you.
Don't shoot. Don't shoot!
Get the fuk out!
Bring him here.
Make way.
Gently...
You guys are heroes.
Well done.
Bad luck...
not pile them up.
A Jew is teaching me
to play backgammon?
"He who loosens his belt,
will fall asleep."
You said it.
- How come you speak Arabic so well?
- Play...
My family has a marble factory.
Before the uprising,
I used to go to Bethlehem often.
- Really?
- Yes.
I'm sure I've seen you
somewhere.
I told you where.
What do you do?
What does your family do?
I'm a clerk, we're all clerks,
each in a different field.
My friend's brother is
the head of the department here.
If you need anything,
let me know.
You said you wanted...
Now I remember
where I've seen you.
Where?
Never mind.
My neighbor in Bethlehem
worked for you, for many years.
When Palestinian militants found out
they came to his house,
took his eyes out,
burnt him with melted plastic,
cut off his arms and legs,
and hanged him.
He has four daughters.
Who will marry them now?
Did you start off playing
backgammon with him too?
Candy... candy...!
There's no candy downstairs,
he's driving us crazy.
Maybe in the other ward.?
No need to go there, mom.
What's that?
Levi keeps bringing up
the wounded officer.
Maya heard him say that
because of my...
That everything that happened
is my fault.
That if 'Esau' led us to his brother
like he wanted,
- It would've been a clean airstrike.
- The nerve!
You're injured.
You finally assassinated a guy
you pursued for over a year.
How dare he?
He's convinced I had sent
'Esau' to Hebron.
So now he's calling you a liar too?
When youre back, go to Shefler.
Complain.
It's not your fault the officer
is in critical condition.
Are you in pain?
Let me see.
Here.?
Tyson,
what do you think
about women's rights?
Women's rights?
Very important...
The Belgians sent us some money
to open an office
for the advancement
of Palestinian women.
Give me the names of
some of your guys,
I'll put them on the payroll.
Tyson, we need a cease fire
with the Israelis.
Badawi knows that the Israelis won't
include him in any amnesty deal.
But your situation is different.
There's talk about a
cease fire with the Jews,
and some of the guys agree.
Tyson wants to talk to you,
come meet him at the lookout.
I'm coming.
Who was that?
I'm sure Tyson already talked
to everyone in the group.
There are some who'd
follow him. He's strong,
how to deal with him.
Hey, Badawi.
You already saw the new
Israeli positions?
The elevator's broken.
So what? You can't walk up?
You're too old?
Let's go up.
Come on, old man.
We'll see who's old.
Come sit outside.
Get some air.
I cant. Later...
More family is coming.
Sit with us.
I don't want to.
Enough!
Where are you going?
Stay with me.
- Raci, 'Esau' is on the line.
- Put him through.
Sanfur, buddy, how are you?
Sanfur...
Sanfur, listen to me.
What happened
has nothing to do with you.
Your brother and the army had
a long history. He knew the risks.
You had nothing to do with
what happened.
I really want to see you.
Nothing has changed between us.
Nothing can change
our relationship.
You're a liar.
You always lied to me!
Don't ever call me again!
Raci, 'Step Father'
is looking for you.
Put him through.
The feeling in the
Palestinian Authority is that
Badawi is out of control.
Abu usa decided to arrest him.
Who told you?
How do you know?
Think of Badawi...
his situation, now, after
the assassination.
He was in Ibrahim's shadow
all his life.
He feels the Palestinian Authority
doesn't give a sh*t about him.
And he is of Bedouin origin.
Feels second rate to start with.
He has to pull off a big attack,
to show everyone.
Badawi is a ticking time bomb.
If Abu usa manages to arrest him,
we can assassinate him there.
Have Maya put it in writing.
Levi, I...
I want to apologize for my conduct
at the meeting with Shefler.
For that?
- It wasn't right.
- And what about Hebron?
This again?
Let me explain something, Razi.
There's nothing I hate
more than dishonesty.
Just listen.
If you sent him,
even if you just 'nudged' him...
Tell me now.
It's your last chance.
Look at me.
Did you send him to Hebron,
yes or no?
No.
- Hi, guys.
- Hello.
- How's it going, Badawi?
- Hey, Sanfur.
Don't I exist?
What's up, Nasser?
- Hamis? - What? - Get me a pack
of cigarettes. - No problem.
How's your father?
What about your wall?
The Palestinian Authority fix it?
Not yet. They did nothing.
Bastards...
Badawi.
You wanna say something? Say it!
I'm not going anywhere.
Don't wanna talk? Go to hell.
Speak up, Sanfur.
Badawi, I want to work with you.
I want to avenge Ibrahim.
You're a big boy now, Sanfur.
But leave it to us.
These things aren't for you.
What do you mean "not for me"?
I mean... you shouldn't say that.
I worked with Ibrahim.
I got him money from Hamas.
You're the one who got
him the money?
Yeah, it was me.
Why you and not us?
How should I know?
When he told me to go, I did.
How many times?
I don't remember.
For a few months.
But not on the day he was killed?!
No, that day I was in Hebron.
He never told me in advance
when he'd need me.
- Why did you go?
- I went to visit my aunt.
Who exactly is this "aunt"?
My aunt Intisar.
Exactly on that day...?
I was injured,
and I didn't want
my father to see it.
I got eight stitches.
What's that?
I bet the guys I could
take a bullet in a bulletproof vest.
But the vest tore
and I got hurt.
It was probably a toy gun.
"Toy gun"...?
Was a fuking Kalashnikov.
You stood there and let someone
shoot you with a Kalashnikov?
You're nuts, Sanfur.
Let's see Nasser stand
in front of a Kalashnikov.
Nasser will stand on your head.
Tell me,
who do you know in Hamas?
Your brother was a great leader.
It was an honor to work with him.
But Badawi...
Badawi apologizes for
what happened in the hospital.
And he promises
that if you finance him,
he'll put together a large
attack inside Jerusalem.
Come on, let's see your muscles.
That's it... hit... hit me...
Kick his ass.
I'll f*** you up!
Stop it. Enough!
That's the last time!
Just kidding around. Relax.
Don't provoke him.
Say youre sorry.
- I said, say youre sorry.
- Okay, okay... Sorry.
All right then.
Don't do it again.
Did you talk to the Hamas guys?
Theyre still angry at you, but
they agreed to transfer you money.
Didn't say when, or how much.
Want me to talk to them again?
No, forget it.
I'll deal with them.
Why aren't we interrogating Sanfur?
He was supposed to take the
money instead of Ibrahim, right?
Shut your trap.
I've known that kid
since he was a baby.
He pissed you off a little
- Stop.
- Don't move!
Don't do anything youll regret later.
Let us through!
