A NETFLIX SERIES

Let's go inside, Alex.

It's her birthday after all.

You know, I'm not sure this is a good idea.

But you haven't spoken with her for several weeks.

Come on, don't be childish.

Okay.

Hmm.

- Are you ready? - Yeah.

Ring the bell.

- Perhaps we should have called her. - Hmm.

That wouldn't have been much of a surprise, would it?

Okay.

HERE LIVES PIA

♪ Happy birthday to... ♪

Oh.

Hi. So sorry. We are here for Pia.

- Oh. - Surprise.

Well, uh... Okay.

I... I'm sorry for the mess.

I just, um...

I threw a little party yesterday, so if you'd just let me...

I'm Cecilie.

I go to university with Pia.

She lets me stay here while she's away.

- Away? - Oh.

Yeah. Pia's in Israel.

In I-Israel?

What can I do? I didn't mean it. Stop!

Pia!

Come on! One last dip!

- Come on! - No, I just...

I just dried!

- Come on! - Oh!

Stop!

There you go.

I'm very glad you convinced me to come.

Yeah, I told you a trip to Egypt would cheer you up.

Mm.

MESSAGES - MOM: PLEASE PIA. WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS.

Your mother?

Again?

What does she want?

I think she just wants to say happy birthday or something.

It's your birthday?

- Why didn't you... Did you know? - No.

- But it's... - Why?

But I'm not really a birthday girl.

- I didn't want to say it. - I'm giving you a gift.

- No. Oh, my God, guys, really. - Hey. One, two, three!

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

- ♪ Happy birthday dear Pia ♪ - Thank you.

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

- Thank you! - Woo-hoo-hoo!

Come here! How are you?

Okay, let's see.

Wow! They're beautiful.

Yeah, you like it?

Of course.

No, no!

Seven. Seven.

- Forty? - Yes.

No.

- What are you doing? - Thanks.

- No. - No, it's what it costs.

- Fifty. - No.

No, listen. The bargaining is half the fun. Okay?

Let me. Come on. Okay?

Thank you.

Happy birthday.

- Well, enjoy. It's yours. - Thank you.

Make a wish.

- Make a wish? - Yes!

Okay.

Happy birthday.

- Happy birthday, Pia. - Thank you.

It's for you.

It's for me?

Why are you laughing?

Get out!

Hey!

Please, please, please!

Shut up! Don't move!

Yes?

Our friends send their greetings.

Yes, what's up?

Plan executed.

They're with us.

Finally.

Finally, some good news. Thank God.

Today, we bear witness to an extraordinary act

in one of history's defining dramas.

Doesn't she want to speak with us?

I don't know.

Why do you think she went to Israel, of all places?

Well... I've no idea.

Uh... But you... You two had fights before.

It's never been so bad that she doesn't want to speak with you.

What exactly are you keeping from me?

Jesus.

As if Pia's disappearance isn't bad enough,

you are trying to accuse me of having done her wrong.

I'm not accusing you. I'm just trying to make sense of...

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...

I'm going there.

What?

I'm going to Israel.

Aren't you overreacting a bit now?

Like you say, there's probably nothing wrong, but...

But... But what about your job?

Well...

I'm only supposed to write an article anyway,

so I might just as well write it down there.

I just have to sort this out.

Pia, it's Mum.

I just wanted to say, I'm so sorry that it turned out like this,

and that...

That you didn't... That I didn't say anything.

I want to tell you...

No, I'll tell you when I see you in person, not over the phone.

I am sorry.

And I'm in Israel on my way to Jerusalem.

Call me when you can.

Make sure everyone attends. I don't want any excuses.

Get hold of them, wherever, get them in the room.

That's the most important...

Alex?

Arik.

They said a friend is waiting at the front desk, but...

Look at you. You haven't changed a bit.

You have.

You never were one for diplomacy, were you?

It's so good to see you. It must be, what? Um...

Years.

I'm not here to talk about the old days.

I'm here because I'm looking for my daughter Pia.

Looking for her? What do you mean?

Well, we had a... a big fight.

- And Pia came here. - Yes?

And now, I can't seem to reach her, and I thought maybe you could help.

Alex, I...

It must be stressful. I'm sure I can make someone find out.

- Okay. - Excuse me. "Pia..."?

- Bakke. - Bakke.

Pia Bakke.

Have someone find out which hotel she's in.

I'll take care of it, but you know they're waiting for you.

I'll be right there.

- Thank you. - No problem.

Alex, it's probably nothing.

You know a lot of young people come here to enjoy themselves.

Yes, um... She hasn't been to see you, has she?

Me? No, why?

Arik, we've got to go.

Give me a card.

Look, I'm really... I'm really worried for her.

Here's my number. This one. It's okay. Call me anytime.

I'm sure she'll turn up just fine.

Arik, I'm leaving.

Yes, okay.

Bat-El, the minute you get the hotel, give it to Mrs Bakke, okay?

No problem, sir. Give me ten minutes and I'll find it.

- Bye. - Bye.

Okay.

- What was the name? - Pia Bakke.

Pia Bakke. How do you spell "Bakke"?

- B, A, double-K, E. - Right.

Uh... No. She checked out five nights ago.

- She checked out? - That's right.

Where? Did she say anything about where she was going?

Um, I'm her mother.

If you can remember anything...

I think, maybe, I remember her vaguely.

Swedish?

Norwegian.

Uh...

She didn't say where she was going.

Ah! But she was here with someone.

Okay. Who?

Ah, don't worry. He's a good guy.

Um, he plays the guitar in the bar next door. Nadav.

- Nadav? - Yeah.

The elections are approaching this coming year.

According to the polls, you're already a stellar success.

Do you plan on running for prime minister?

Do you even think Israel is ready for a Mizrachi minister who is religious?

- First of all, God willing, we do have... - Minister.

- ...an excellent prime minister. - I apologise for the interruption.

Can you come out for a second?

Yes.

Excuse me. I'll be right back.

The names of the three hostages are Noa Solomon, Nadav Solomon,

and Pia Bakke.

In exchange for their release,

ISIS demands the release of 12 Palestinian prisoners.

And one Norwegian prisoner.

What's our line? How do we respond to their demands?

As I see it, we have two options.

One is a prisoner exchange,

a mistake we've made too many times if you ask me.

Remember, 40% of the thousand terrorists Netanyahu released

returned to terrorist activity.

We are familiar with the numbers, Mosh. The second option?

To go in there and get them out.

How long do you estimate it will take to find them?

A few days.

We're not alone here.

We've talked to the Norwegian government,

and our shared interest with Egypt

to fight terrorism in Sinai requires full cooperation.

Arik, contact your friend in Egyptian Intelligence and get to work.

Already being done.

Another matter that requires planning is how we handle this in the public eye,

to restrain the streets,

so we can work quietly without the chaos we experienced in previous abductions.

It's amazing that there's a serious travel warning on Sinai,

and some people just don't care.

Okay, people.

Uh...

You should know, uh...

I know the mother of the Norwegian hostage.

I met her during the talks in Oslo.

That's actually good for us.

Talk to her.

Support her. Try to contain her.

I'll keep an eye on her.

She can't be exactly "contained".

People, let's hope this crisis ends in the minimum amount of time

and with minimum damage.

Bye.

COURTHOUSE

- Karl Bakke? - Yes.

Yes.

Charlotte Fjulsrud, Oslo Police District.

Marianne Hovland, also Oslo police.

Karl Bakke.

So, what can I do for you?

Is there somewhere we can talk?

Um... Yes. Sure.

- Uh, well... well, what do you know? - Let's not talk here.

Uh, okay.

Alex...

The source saw this just now.

It's from ISIS.

What is it?

- Alex, this is going to be hard to... - Put it on.

Thanks to the good grace of Allah...

...this brave group of Islamic State fighters

have captured the three of us.

One Norwegian and two Israelis.

The Islamic State have two demands.

One, the release of their brother-in-arms,

Abu Salim, from his prison in Oslo.

And two...

the release of 12 ISIS prisoners

held in Israeli jail for so-called terror offenses.

If there is any attempt to find us...

...we will be killed immediately.

I am so sorry.

Both our and Israeli Intelligence confirm that this is legit.

Unfortunately.

I am sorry.

Alex...

I can't stress how sorry and shocked I am.

I can assure you

that this is now top priority on every level.

We are going to do everything in our power to solve this.

B-b-b-but wh-what will you do?

Currently, we are looking at different strategies.

L-Like what? To let the prisoners they're asking for go free?

Norway's official policy is to not negotiate with terrorists.

You said you'd do everything to save them?

Yes. E-Everything in our power.

Yes, so make sure it's in your power to save them.

Listen...

It seems horrible but there isn't anything you can do right now.

What can I do?

But I want you to know, Alex...

Hey, look at me.

I want you to know that I am here for you,

until all this is over.

We have a question. Why is your wife already in Israel?

Why is your wife already in Israel?

Hello?

Alex?

- Hello? - Karl?

Yes, I know. It's utterly s-surreal.

What do the Israelis...? C-Can they get her out?

I don't know. They have to, right? They...

Israel is used to this kind of stuff,

so surely they can't just... l-leave them out there.

Yeah. But you're in Israel right now?

Wh-wh-wha... Did you know something or what?

I don't know. I got a...

A feeling that something was wrong.

- That something had happened. - She looked so terribly lonely.

Oh, my God. I know.

- Alex Bakke? - Yes.

Hello.

- Ingrid Nystrøm, Norwegian Embassy. - Oh! Hello.

- Can we sit down? - Yes. Yes, we can.

Okay.

It seems that they are being held in Sinai.

- In Egypt? - Yes, in Egypt.

But-but Pia, why was she...

Why was she in Sinai?

The place is a popular tourist destination, so... yeah.

But Norway's stance

is, uh, to never negotiate with terrorists.

Yes, the official Norwegian position.

In reality, there are certain situations where we go in and negotiate,

but, you know, most cases are dependent

on money, and, um...

To be honest,

this highly depends on Israel and what they will choose to do.

But Abu Salim, the prisoner in Norway?

It seems that will be very difficult as well.

It's a very complicated case,

and Israel can't just go into another country.

Alex, you must know that we are doing

everything we can to help you.

Okay? Hmm?

Yeah.

Here.

It may be good to know,

you are not alone.

It's the mother of the two other hostages.

It's not just me.

I've been told that the mother of the Norwegian hostage

has come here to Jerusalem.

Without knowing her, I know we both are in pain.

We are shocked...

and frightened.

It is a pain that neither of us have ever felt.

Here... This is my number.

If you need anything, whatever it may be,

feel free to contact me.

Thanks.

Alright? We'll keep in touch, then.

I call upon you to join me, and call out, together,

to the Israeli and Norwegian governments

to free the abducted children.

Oh my.

Hi. It seems there's no legal foundation to free Abu Salim.

Then we'll have to try something different.

Yeah, but what?

- I'm coming there. - What? To Israel?

You've got to stay in Oslo.

Why's that?

Because we have to put pressure on the Norwegian authorities.

We must... W-We have to... Um...

We have to get that prisoner out.

Yeah.

What are you doing?

I... I'm on my way to see Arik.

I have to get him to do something.

I'll call you later.

Okay.

Alex.

Hi.

I really, uh, need to talk to you.

Of course.

But I-I'm sorry to say, there is no news.

No, no, it's not that.

There is something I must tell you.

You must be... Alex?

- Yes. - Hi. I'm Dana.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you too.

I...

I cannot imagine how you feel. I'm so sorry.

- Come in. - No, no. No, I...

I didn't want to intrude. I...

No, don't be silly. It's okay.

Why are you standing at the door with her?

- Come in, it's okay. Of course. - Yeah.

- It's okay... - Yes, of course.

The names of the three hostages are Noa Solomon, Nadav Solomon,

and Pia Bakke.

If there is any attempt to find us...

...we will be killed immediately.

Look...

Are you sure that Pia didn't come to see you?

Pia?

- Yeah. - No. Why?

You asked this already.

Why do you think she would come and see me?

Hey.

What would you do...

if your child was in danger?

Alex, from the government's point of view,

we couldn't do more than what we are already doing.

No.

- I mean... - Well...

From a father's point of view?

Mm-hmm.

If my child was kidnapped like that...

...I don't know what I'd do.

Honestly.

You are in that position.

What?

You have a child kidnapped.

Uh...

I'm sorry. You've lost me. I...

You are her father.

Are you saying that...?

No, no, no.

- Yes. - No.

- Yes. - No.

- Yes. - Not another word of this.

Dinner's ready.

Can I have more water, please?

Mm-hmm.

We have one more, a son.

He's not here. He's in the army.

- Oh. - Yes.

What's his name?

- Oren. - Hmm.

Hmm.

And, uh...

- Your name was? - Alma.

Hmm. Alma.

- Yes. - Beautiful.

Thank you.

So, why just not release the terrorists?

- Alma. - What?

It's to free three innocent people, no?

Alex, uh, how is Pia's father handling this, uh, terrible situation?

He, uh... He is in Oslo.

Hmm.

Trying his best to help from there.

It's... not easy, as you can imagine.

Hmm, of course.

You know, Alma, Oslo...

is the place where your father and Alex first met.

They tried to make, uh, peace.

But there's no peace.

Help me.

Help me. Help us.

Noa, Noa, Noa, Noa...

- Noa, no, no, no... - Help me. Please.

Please.

Okay. Shh, shh, shh.

Okay, okay! Okay!

Okay.

Be quiet.

Noa, listen.

We have to run.

- We have to escape. Shut up. - No, we can't.

- I can't do it. - Quiet! Quiet!

Listen to me. Listen to me.

- But what? - Pia... Please, Nadav.

- This is our chance. We need to run, now. - Please, no.

- Please, Pia. Please, Nadav. - Now.

Quiet! Quiet now!

Nadav.

- Nadav! Nadav! - Shh. Shh.

Run, Pia! Run!

The girl ran away!

- Where did they go? - Where? Who ran?

Get in!

Get in!

Let's get in the vehicle!

- Get in the truck! - Okay.

Monster.
