But if you don't work for us,

your life will be hell forever,

and so will your girlfriend's.

Don't look at me.

I didn't tell you to do it.

Look, I get you...

You're in trouble and have to choose

between your life and your friends'.

Tough decision.

But if I were you, in your situation,

I'd save myself. That's normal.

What do you want from me?

We know you didn't kill the soldier.

If you bring us what we need

to catch the killer,

we'll forget your past and give you

a chance to start life afresh.

- Who killed the soldier?

- Come on, man, you know.

- No, I don't.

- OK.

You want to play it that way?

We'll play it your way.

Tarek Abd-al-Salam.

No way will we let

a soldier-killer go free.

We'll get him, come what may.

I'll give you one month.

If you don't deliver what we want,

we'll bring you right back.

And believe me,

you don't want to come back.

I missed you.

Does it hurt?

No.

I wrote you many letters, too.

I couldn't sleep after your arrest.

I became like a poet.

I never knew love

could cause such pain.

- What did you do while I was gone?

- Nothing.

I kept dreaming

I'd learn to shoot and rescue you.

Omar...

Were you behind

the Huwara operation?

- Let's not talk about it.

- I want to know.

- It's better for you not to know.

- Don't you trust me?

- Nadia, it's for your own safety.

- I'm serious.

I'm serious too. Believe me...

If you finish school,

you'll have done enough. I beg you.

Beg harder, then.

I beg you.

OK, as you're the sweetest beggar

in the world.

- Were they hard on you in jail?

- Where can I find Tarek?

I don't know,

he doesn't sleep at home.

- Omar, I'm worried.

- Don't be worried.

Everything is under control.

Just hold on and we'll be together.

- I wish I could believe you.

- I promise.

I'll fix everything. Promise.

- Hello.

- Hi, Omar.

Najwa, tell Amjad

I'll be at the number I left at noon.

When did you get out of jail?

- I'm fresh out of the oven.

- Who did that to you?

- I'll be fine.

- When will you choose a bride?

After your wedding.

Hello?

- You look a picture!

- How are you?

- what do they want?

- For me to deliver you.

They think you killed the soldier.

We have a bigger problem.

There's a traitor among us.

Who in the brigades

knew about the operation?

Everyone is a suspect.

It could be him, could be you,

could be Amjad, it could be me.

- How could it be one of us?

- One rat can ruin everything.

what's the deal?

How do you contact them?

They gave me a number to call

when I know where you are.

Why don't we trick them?

Ambush them.

We said there's a traitor among us.

We won't act until we've caught him.

Tarek...

If you'd confessed in jail,

they'd be after me instead of Tarek.

I owe you forever for this...

you ugly monkey.

Don't stay in public

more than ten minutes.

It's not easy being on the run.

Call this number from a phone booth.

Leave a message

saying where you'll be waiting.

Tarek...

I want to marry Nadia.

You think this is a good time to ask?

- I want to marry her.

- There's every reason to suspect you.

If the ambush goes well,

we'll be certain you're one of us.

- I can't believe you just said that.

- Omar...

There's a price to pay if you want

to revolt and liberate your country.

You don't complain or cry.

This is the choice you made.

Whatever it costs me,

I want to marry Nadia.

Let me think about it.

Let's set up the ambush.

Then I promise to help.

Do you know this joke?

Once, three young men

went to a spiritual leader

and said,

"If we were to free Jerusalem,

"could we make hanky-panky

with the enemy's women?"

He said, "Do that, and you can

make hanky-panky with me."

Let's do the ambush first. OK?

We'll put the bed here,

the table there.

Television.

And here we can make

a small house for the cat.

Poor guy, you could've let him live

and just sent an eviction notice.

Shall we call an ambulance?

What do you think?

I dream of leaving this place.

- Haven't you thought about that?

- Nadia, I'm doing my best.

I know, I know, I just...

I'm ready to live with you anywhere.

- Even on Mars.

- Mars is too far.

Let's stay here.

It doesn't matter where.

I just want to be with you.

Your last letter was funny.

Is it true you can talk to ants?

I talked to Tarek.

He's going to help us.

I made you this to protect you.

Put it on.

How can I deliver Tarek in a month?

What am I, the electric company?

Omar, I don't have time for this.

This isn't a game.

Why should Tarek trust me?

Bring him in,

or I'll bring you in by your ears.

What did they feed you in jail?

Stuffed chicken,

stuffed squash, pizza.

On street 6160.

Why do you look pale?

They just chased me. I misled them.

Really? Be careful.

- How are you?

- Better now that I've seen you.

You're thinner.

I'm being fashionable.

How can I call you?

I miss you so much.

It's difficult now.

It'll be easier after the ambush.

What ambush?

What ambush?

What's wrong?

Amina is spreading rumors

that you're a traitor.

A lot of girls believe her.

They say it must be true.

- Why else would you be out already?

- Don't listen to them.

- Everything will be clear soon.

- Soon, soon, soon...

I saw Amjad talking to you.

- Are you following me?

- What does Amjad want?

Nothing, he was just passing.

My love, don't get carried away.

So what did Tarek tell you?

Omar, trust me. There's nothing.

- He assured me that you're not a spy.

- What? You suspect me?

I need someone to reassure me

when you're away.

Who else should I go to?

You suspect me?

All traitors fall at last.

Please, I beg you.

I've been here all my life,

stuck here...

The sea is just 15 kilometers away,

and I've never seen it.

It's just that... they promised...

to give me a visa.

Visa? What visa?

- A visa to New Zealand.

- New Zealand?

Why New Zealand?

Sea. Nature.

- Life.

- You sold the resistance for a visa?

- Did it ever help me?

- What do you think we are?

- A charity organization?

- New Zealand?

New Zealand, motherf***er?

Where is this New Zealand?

I had a feeling we'd find him.

Now we can set the ambush.

And after, I want to marry Nadia.

Sure, but she has to agree.

And my family does, too.

I don't think there'll be objections.

You've or oven yourself as a man.

Amjad asked for her hand too.

Don't worry,

I'll talk to him after the ambush.

Omar.

Can you make a cooy

and bring it back?

I was angry you sent in your guys,

but now he's keeping me closer.

OK, what's the deal now?

We meet at three tomorrow

at Abu-Asab Restaurant.

My grandmother died at the age of 92.

You know it was the doctor's mistake?

- They're late.

- Are you sure Hussam was the traitor?

He confessed, you heard him.

People under torture

say what you want to hear.

We have other concerns now.

- What did you do to him?

- What we do to traitors.

You tried to fool me?

You tried to fool me, did you?

When I put my neck on the line

for you!

You think you're smart?
