Where's Tarek?

How did you get here?

I took the noon flight,

the morning one was full.

- Over the Qalandia wall.

- Business or economy?

Economy, it was a nightmare!

Go play outside. And you, study.

- Why didn't you take the El Ram wall?

- Too crowded.

You only get coffee if you do Brando.

- Can't we skip that?

- Nope.

- Come on.

- Nope.

Come on!

OK, there you go.

- Do you want Brando in French?

- That's OK.

Fine.

Come on, drink up, let's go.

- I want to come.

- Where to?

You talk too much. Go inside.

Inside, I said!

We're ready, guys.

I'll inform the brigades.

Take a breath...

look in his eyes,

take his gun, and flip him!

Go buy a new pack.

Am I alone? You go.

- You've turned rebel now?

- What's with you?

I have seven sisters,

not one of them is married.

I have to feed them all.

Don't get me wrong.

They're nice, God bless them.

But not one of them is pretty.

- How come you never tell jokes?

- Forget it, I can't do jokes.

One joke, please.

- we promise we won't laugh.

- I really can't, I swear.

For my sake, and Omar's.

- OK, for you.

- Not for Omar?

Only for you.

OK. So a guy goes to buy cigarettes.

The seller gives him a pack,

and the guy reads it...

It says, "Smoking harms

men's sexual performance."

So he says, "Give me

the one with cancer instead".

Sexual performance, man!

Motherfuckers...

I hit the first one in the stomach,

the second in the head with my elbow,

and the third I punched in the face!

His teeth tore open my knuckles!

The gashes were so deep

you could've planted onions in them.

May all my sisters become monkeys

if I'm exaggerating at all.

Do you love Nadia?

You want me dead?

I'm crazy about her. Head over heels.

I don't know what to do.

Then shut up.

If Tarek hears... he'll flip.

She's madly in love with me, too.

But I'm not going to act on it.

- Swear on your sisters' beauty.

- F*** you.

I have love letters to prove it.

What are you doing here?

Do you love me?

Is there someone else?

What's with you?

Who else would there be?

You mean Brad Pitt!

Actually, I came to give you this.

Come see me tomorrow after school.

I'll be alone.

Nadia. Nadia!

I miss you already.

Stop! Stop where you are!

Stop where you are!

Hands on your head! Don't move!

Lift your shirt

and turn around slowly.

Hands on your head!

Come here!

Halt, halt.

- where are you going?

- Work.

Where have you been?

- The casino.

- We have a clown here.

Your ID.

- Where have you been?

- My girlfriend's.

Ah, lover boy!

What's this?

She scratched you?

Turn around. Turn around.

See the stone over there?

Go and stand on it.

On the stone, I said.

Is this comedy not over yet?

If you're men,

lose the weapons and fight me.

Stay there!

See the stone over there?

Go stand on it,

but this time on one leg.

- Here.

- Thanks.

- Take care.

- You too.

why tonight?

Every day we wait

is another day of occupation.

Agreed.

What happened to your nose?

I fell off a bike.

Maybe he was right to replace

Diarra with Karim Benzema.

But taking Marcelo out of the game

was a huge mistake.

I still don't get how he became coach

when he was just the team translator.

- You're so silly.

- Watch it!

Pass the salt.

Take a deep breath, aim and shoot.

Can you do it instead?

We discussed this.

Omar stole the car,

I planned it, you shoot.

- I can do it.

- No. This isn't a game.

You can't become a freedom fighter

by watching.

Does it fit well?

- Where is Tarek?

- Where is Tarek?

You're still so serious?

- Soon.

- Every week, you say the same thing.

This time it's different.

I decided I'll talk to Tarek today.

Where will you take me

on honeymoon?

- Mozambique?

- Why not Bangladesh?

They have enough disasters,

they don't need a new one.

Be serious!

Now you want me to be serious?

I thought school meant no honeymoon.

What's school got to do with it?

OK, how about...

- Paris, then?

- I've never been to Paris.

Have you ever been outside this hole?

- To Hebron...

- well, that's like Paris.

Have you ever been

outside this hole?

I don't need to, I have you.

- Are you making fun of me?

- Never.

I loved your last letter.

The story of the cripple. Is it true?

Half true.

It doesn't matter.

I loved it. It's so sad.

You used to write cheerful stories.

Did I make your life miserable?

You've got an eyelash.

Know how they catch monkeys

in Africa?

Hunters throw out sugar cubes

so the monkeys get addicted.

Then they dig narrow holes,

and put in lumps of sugar.

Monkey comes along,

smells the sugar, sticks his hand in.

But the hole's so small

that when he makes a fist,

he can't pull it back out

without dropping the sugar.

So the hunters are getting closer,

and the monkey sees them coming.

They throw their nets, and the damn

monkey still won't drop the sugar.

What do they want the monkeys for?

They give them

scholarships to Sweden.

You're an idiot.

How would I know

what they want them for?

- Tarek...

- Yes?

- what?

- This bread is stale.

Not fresh from the oven

like you're used to.

- I'm thinking about settling down.

- where did you get the money from?

I've been saving up to build a house.

Undercover agents!

Who was with you?

Who was with you?

Who shot the soldier?

Who was with you?

Who shot the soldier?

Who shot the soldier?

Who was with you?

Nose...

What?

Your nose...

I can't hear you.

I can't hear you.

Wipe your nose.

Me too.

They will free me soon,

they have no evidence.

Just hold on and we'll be together.

Ehab El Abdallah, Hamas.

Who are you with, what group?

Peace be upon you.

Hassan Ismail, al-Aqsa Brigades.

Where are you from?

What's the charge?

I just want to warn you,

be careful.

The coming days are crucial.

I'm sure you know.

First they will send you

a little birdie.

A prisoner who's working with them.

To be your friend.

He'll tell you all his secrets.

And you'll trust him

and tell him yours.

But he'll be wired

to record your confession.

Watch it.

Don't tell anyone what you did.

As long as you don't talk,

they can't sentence you.

But listen closely.

If you do confess...

they will break your will,

make you dependent,

and turn you into a collaborator.

so watch it.

Never become a collaborator.

There's no turning back,

no way out,

and no end to it.

I will never confess.

Good.

Good.

I will never confess.

That's a confession,

as far as our judges are concerned.

- I don't know what you mean.

- Yes, you do.

Talk to your lawyer.

Look, I can't do anything for you.

Unless...

you're willing to work with us.

Think about it. Take your time.

In the military court

that has jurisdiction here,

this would be considered

a confession.

What are the consequences?

You're facing a minimum

of 90 years.

Is there anything that can be done?

As long as the occupation

continues, nothing.

Tell me, Omar...

you know a girl, right?

Understand me?

What's her name again?

we know,

and we want you to be with her.
