Out in the Dark Page #4

If you don't wanna help,

that's fine.

Give me Yossi's number

and I'll call him.

You're acting like a child.

Fine.

It's cool, Dad.

Roy.

We'll handle it ourselves.

Thanks.

Hello?

It's me.

What's up?

I miss you.

I miss you too.

What's gonna happen with us?

I don't know,

but I can't stop thinking about it.

Any news about the permit?

No.

I don't think

they're gonna renew it.

How do you know?

I just know.

I want you to know

that no matter what happens,

I love you.

I love you too.

Hey.

Hey.

Good to see you.

Last night we got another kid

that was hiding in Tel Aviv.

Are you interrogating him?

He had this on him.

Let me see.

One second.

Recognize anybody?

That's that homo that we caught.

I'm talking about the guy

in the back.

I wanted you to see it

with your own eyes.

Does anyone else know about this?

Not yet, but you should take care

of this as soon as possible.

You never know what this guy

will spill under pressure.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Take care of this.

I'm outta here.

Bye.

What's up?

Why are you crying?

Why are you sitting like this?

Why don't you tell us

why we're sitting like this.

What?

Enough.

I've had enough

of your games and your lies.

What have you been doing

all this time in Tel Aviv?

I want to hear you say it.

Tell me.

What shame have you brought

on this family? Tell me.

You know what I've been doing

in Tel Aviv.

I've been studying.

Nabil, what's going on?

Answer your mother.

I did!

I've been doing this course

with Professor Stein.

Professor Stein?

More like professor bullshit.

Is he the one you talk with at night,

under the covers?

Answer me.

Let me explain,

it's really not what you think.

And who gave you

that expensive watch?

Tell me.

That watch that you hide

in your backpack,

the one that says "love" on it.

Who gave it to you?

Why don't you take it out

and show it to us?

A girl from class gave it to me.

Stop lying-

It's not his fault.

Did you ever stop and think

about your sister?

Tell me.

I'm sorry.

If this ever came out,

no one will want to get close to Abir.

Mom,

I'm sorry.

Abir,

I never meant to hurt you.

Please look at me...

Get up.

I want him out of this house.

I want you out of my house.

I didn't mean to.

Stop whining like a girl.

You brought dishonor to this family.

But this is my life.

You heard what Mom said,

I'm your brother,

what are you doing?

Now get out of this house.

Mom, I'm begging you,

Get the f*** out.

Mom!

Nabil.

Keep it down.

I don't want people to hear.

Come on, get out.

You guys stay here.

Nabil, please.

What you did to our family

will never be forgotten.

It shouldn't have happened this way.

It shouldn't have happened, period!

This stain will never

wash off of us.

I'm sorry.

Nabil, I'm sorry.

Please don't!

I should've seen it coming,

I should've killed you at home!

Listen to what you're saying.

No.

No.

Do you see this ditch?

Do you?

Yeah.

It comes out

on the other side of the fence.

You're going to go down that ditch

and never come back here.

Do you understand?

If you ever come back,

you'll leave me no choice.

Do you understand me?

I need to hear you say

that you understand me.

I understand you.

Get down.

Please tell Mom...

Nimr?

What are you doing here?

When did you get here?

Have you been drinking?

A little bit.

What's going on?

My family found out.

Everything's going to be okay.

How are you holding up?

Not too good.

It's not easy.

Well, I brought the forms

for you to sign.

Based on the fact that

your family kicked you out,

and that you used to study here,

we'll try and get you a permit.

But chances are slim.

Okay.

Hold on,

it's going to take months,

and even then the visa

is for 3, maybe 6 months tops.

What then?

But when your firm needed our help...

Hold on, I got another call.

Hello?

Yes,

a permit,

how long does it take?

Just call me back on my cell.

Thanks.

Everything will be okay.

I promise.

They're not gonna let me stay here.

They will,

don't worry.

It was the Security Services

that took my permits.

Okay.

They wanted me to collaborate and

threatened to expose me to my family.

Why didn't you tell me?

It wouldn't have made a difference.

Yes it would have.

Not after my family

already found out.

Why you?

Because I had something to lose.

Why would you know anything?

I don't get it.

What do you want me to say?

I'm just telling you what happened.

They'll never let me stay here.

Hello?

Mom?

Sorry it took me so long.

Should we stop for a bite?

No.

Let's just go home.

I shouldn't be outside.

How about tomorrow,

on my way home from work,

I'll pick up some food,

maybe a movie,

we'll have ourselves

a quiet evening at home?

Let's get outta this place.

What?

Let's just pack our bags

and get the hell out of this place.

Where to?

Europe, the U.S.,

I don't know.

They have human rights organizations

that can help someone

in my situation.

Are you serious?

I don't see any other option.

I'm not giving up yet.

Enough, Roy.

It's just a matter of time

before they catch me

and I can't go home for awhile.

Let's run away together.

How are you gonna leave

without a passport?

I don't know, you keep talking

about your dad's connections.

That's not fair.

Well, what about

all those mobsters you know?

I can't just get up and leave.

I got nothing left here, but you.

I have to get the hell

out of here and you know it.

Please help me, Roy.

Help me.

What happened?

We got a tip they were gonna

move the stockpile.

Who do you have?

Mashrawi, and we arrested two others.

What about the other brother?

He's not here.

ls he somehow connected to this?

Where's Nabil?

Over there.

Where's Nimr?

F*** you.

Where is your f*ggot brother?

Last I saw him,

he was on his way to you.

He's dead to me!

Search the area,

I want to find the brother.

What's up?

They know he's gay,

I can't risk it.

Do you think they sent him

to protect the family's honor?

Let me know when you find him.

Do you want a pita?

That's my house.

What?

On TV. That's my house.

"Forces raided the house

to find a stockpile of weapons

"and proceeded to arrest

a number of suspected terrorists.

"A soldier was wounded while

re-entering Israeli territory."

Where's my phone?

They're not picking up.

What did he say about

a "stockpile of weapons?"

Nimr,

talk to me.

It's all my fault

It's not your fault.

You couldn't know about this.

Wait, did you know about this?

I can't believe you didn't tell me.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about this.

About your siblings.

They're terrorists.

They're not terrorists.

What would you call them?

You don't even know them.

You couldn't understand.

How do you expect me to understand

when you don't tell me sh*t.

Please don't do this now.

You want me to just sit here

like nothing happened?

I don't even know you.

I can't do this.

I gotta get out of here.
