I don't buy any of this.

It's either him or us.

What do you mean "us"?!

I'm not the only one

who thinks so.

Ignore his security.

Go right up to him and shoot.

Die like a martyr!

Your family will

never forgive you anyway.

You're finished in Bethlehem.

At least die like a martyr!

And if you even think of

escaping to Israel with him,

I'll put up posters of you

all over Bethlehem saying:

"The collaborator

who killed his brother."

- But I didn't...

- Shut up!

But if you kill him,

it'll make up for

everything youve done.

Recognize this gun?

It was Ibrahim's gun.

And with this gun youll kill

that dog who killed your brother.

The one on the left...

...that's the biggest one...

"An elephant - even if it flies..."

They say,

"a goat... even if it flies..."

Why do people say that

in Arabic?

There's a story behind it, right?

It's like this:
Two men

saw something on the top of a hill.

The first one said: It's a bird.

The second said:
No. It's a goat.

They argued,

bird, goat, bird, goat...

Until the first one threw a stone at it,

and it flew away.

So the second one said:

That's a goat, even if it flies!

A goat, even if it flies.

My friends' husbands

hit on chicks...

How are you, buddy?

I need your help.

What is it?

I hit Jamal and broke his arm.

He's in the hospital now.

People from his family came and

beat me. Now they want to kill me.

Where are you?

Meet me at the place by Har Homa.

Come on foot.

It's Friday...!

I can use this. It takes hours

to arrange for security on a Friday.

I'll go there now, alone, and say

I was afraid he wouldn't wait.

You're gonna meet him alone?

I can fix everything this way.

Stay a bit longer with the kids.

I'll pick you up at the entrance.

Okay...?

Yes...?

Your wife called. She said youre

meeting 'Esau' alone?

Whyd she call you?!

She was worried.

- You're not going alone, I'm calling it in.

- Don't you dare!

I'll be careful,

I'll make sure he's alone.

No! You're not going alone!

I'm not kidding here.

Don't get involved!

You haven't seen him

for a long time.

I'll set up a meeting.

It'll take two hours tops.

Stay out of this!

Raci, stop the car because

I'm calling it in!

Listen, buddy,

I'm stuck in traffic.

I'll be a little late.

Wait for me, alright?

You've been on my mind lately.

I have so much to tell you.

- Forget it. Another day.

- No, no... I'm halfway there.

Please... let's leave it

for another day.

I said no!

The traffic is moving.

Come meet me now.

Do as I say.

Go back and wait for me.

I'm on my way, buddy.

I'll be right there.

And I'm not in a hurry today.

I have lots of time just for you.

Get in, buddy.

What's the matter?

What is this?

Tell me what happened.

I told you,

Jamal's family got me.

Can you take me to Israel?

Only if it becomes necessary.

But we'll fix this thing with

Jamal's family. Don't worry.

What is it?

Badawi is pressuring me

to get him money.

He won't leave me alone.

- Really?

- He thinks I can get him money from Hamas.

I cant stay there anymore.

Take me to Israel.

But you're strong.

Badawi cant mess with you...

On the contrary, stay with him.

I'll take care of everything.

It's even a good thing.

Listen,

some guys I work with

want to talk to you about...

Sanfur, where are you going?

Get back here, Sanfur!

Get over here!

You send me back to Badawi?

No.

He sends me to you

and you send me back to him?!

You want to send me

back to Badawi?!

No, Sanfur! No!
