You stupid f***!

I told you we know everything.

we know you love his sister.

Guess what.

You will never see her again.

You just lost the rest of your life.

That son of a b*tch Tarek

may still be a fugitive,

but I guarantee you, we'll find him

by any means necessary.

And your Nadia? Nadia...

We know all her secrets...

and we can turn her into a whore

whenever we want.

I even know where

you wanted to take her on honeymoon,

you stupid f***.

That's it!

Traitor!

- Traitor!

- We'll hang you.

What happened?

Two guys tried to f*** with me.

I broke their bones.

Look, Omar,

I can't trust you anymore.

You're not just a liar, but also

were involved in an ambush against us.

I'm sorry,

I can't do anything for you.

Hi, honey... No, I can't.

I can't!

I'm in the middle of the West Bank.

How do you expect me to handle it?

I'm not Spider-Man!

I'll see what I can do, OK?

But then you have to...

Hello, Mum. It's me... Listen...

Can you get Maya from kindergarten?

Mum, I'm at work, in the middle

of the f***ing West Bank,

and now you want to have a rant

about my goddamn wife?

Can you pick Maya up or not?

At four.

Thanks, Mum.

Where did you learn to speak Arabic?

What do you mean? It's my job.

I thought you were an Arab.

Really?

You didn't hear an accent

or anything?

How is your Hebrew?

I understood two words.

"Mum" and "Spider-Man".

Listen...

I...

I want to help you,

but there's not a thing I can do.

And nobody else trusts you...

I almost lost my job

because of you, understand?

Give me one last chance.

I've learned my lesson.

If I stay here, I'll die.

You miss her?

What do you know about her?

What secrets?

Secrets are supposed to stay secret.

But we will use them

if you betray us.

To make sure you have no other plans,

this will find you wherever you go.

Even six feet under.

The only way to get it off

is to cut your leg in two.

Bring me Tarek's head

and you're a free man.

I'm warning you.

This is your last chance.

I am taking a personal risk here.

If you fail,

you'll wish you'd never been born.

Nadia!

- I have to talk to you.

- Get lost.

- what happened?

- You tell me.

- What?

- You're a traitor!

You believe that talk?

- Four of our fighters died due to you.

- Nadia...

Everybody says so.

And you didn't shoot that soldier.

Everybody has got it wrong.

- Please, I can't be seen with you.

- I'm begging you. We have to talk.

Do you know how long

I've waited for this moment?

Do you know the hell I'm living in,

because I have no answers?

I just want to know one thing.

Is it true or not?

Tell me it's not.

I'm risking my life for you.

I am ready to wait for you forever,

but swear by our love it's not true,

you're not working for both sides.

So it is true.

Who told you

I didn't shoot the soldier?

Why are you changing the subject?

Is it true or not?

What secrets do they know about you?

What? What secrets?

What's going on

between you and Amjad?

Give Amjad this number and ask him

to let me know

where I can find him.

Omar, please don't come here

any more.

Press one for messages.

You have no messages.

- How did you find me?

- Your sisters.

How are they doing?

You speak to them pretty often...

They are very good.

They always ask about you.

Right now, they're on special offer.

Buy one, get two for free.

You betrayed us

to steal Nadia from me.

How else could they know I loved her

or where Tarek and I were?

- I'm not the only one who...

- Tell the truth,

or by God,

I'll kill you here and now.

- But I shot the soldier.

- So why do they want Tarek?

- You said it was him, right?

- This is what they want.

Paranoia.

Are you going to talk or not?

Talk! Talk! Talk! Talk!

Yes.

I did it.

Why? How could you?

How? How?

Lie again and I'll kill you

if it takes two lifetimes.

What did you tell them about Nadia?

They knew everything from Hussam.

Hussam was dead

the second time. Talk!

Talk!

- What did you say about Nadia?

- I got her pregnant.

What?

We're both dead

unless she gets an abortion.

The under covers found out about it,

and threatened me.

Either I collaborate with them,

or they'll expose us.

And then we're both dead.

- Dead!

- You liar!

It's not her fault.

Kill me and she's dead, too.

But how could she?

How could she do something like this?

We have to go to Tarek.

- I'm not going.

- You have to.

- Omar, understand me, I'm not going.

- You have no choice.

I'm not going.

Understand, please. I'm not going.

- He'll kill me.

- He should.

He can't.

We're childhood friends...

and Nadia is his sister.

I'll be with you,

I won't let him do anything to you.

- what happened?

- An accident.

Leave us alone, guys. Let's walk.

Every time I see you guys,

I'm ambushed.

How did you get out this time?

Convince them you'd work with them?

And then you want to trick them?

You think they're that stupid?

I did it

so I could find out who betrayed us.

Who betrayed us?

And what's that on your leg?

It's a tracking device.

They can find me anywhere.

- Which of you is the traitor?

- They made Amjad rat out the ambush.

I don't have a solution,

I thought you might.

Tarek.

Amjad made a mistake.

A mistake with Nadia.

Nadia is pregnant by him.

The only way is to let her marry him.

- I'll kill you!

- No!

- Tarek, please stop.

- Get off me!

- I'll kill you!

- Tarek!

- Kill him and Nadia will pay for it!

- I'll kill you!

It is not her mistake!

Tarek. Tarek!

Get the device.

Guys, we will never forget this.

If you ever want anything...

We don't want a thing from you.

Keep his body hidden for two months.

why two months?

I need time to clear my name.

Sir, we came to ask for Nadia's hand

in marriage for Amjad.

Well, is he ready?

Does he have enough for a house

and to support a family?

He does.

We have to ask Tarek.

We asked him and he agreed.

we all know why he can't be present.

Then I have to ask Nadia.

What do you say, my dear?

It's your decision.

OK.

Good.

when the baby is born,

you say it is premature.

Why are you crying?

Because you aren't.

From now on, you don't know me

and I don't know you.

Muhsen Ali-Taha, new field leader

of the Jerusalem Brigade.

- Can we talk?

- Sure.

what do you know

about Amjad Haleem?

What about him?

What did he do in the resistance?

Did he get on with Tarek Salam?

- What's the problem, exactly?

- We have many unanswered questions.

You were caught.

How did you get out so quickly?

I didn't talk,

and they had no evidence against me.

And why wasn't Amjad ever caught?

What does this have to do with me?

Maybe you can help solve the mystery.

What mystery?

Tarek's body was kept in a fridge

for more than two months,

according to the coroner's report.

And he was last seen

with you and Amjad.

So?

Where did he get the money to marry?

How did he manage?

How would I know?

I haven't seen him in two years.

And I'm not about to.

I know. We're curious as to
