A NETFLIX SERIES

Above them, in control positions, waiting for the green light.

Go.

I'm with them, Mum. With those who have Pia.

They killed our men. Somebody's gotta pay.

Hurry up.

I really am in a hot mess!

The Israelis need to know that they alone are responsible for my...

...unnecessary death.

You're a fucking monster.

I rely on you to get me out,

and you rely on me to get Pia out.

If I give this information to you,

you will do what you can to get Pia and Nadav out.

- Okay. - Arik Shor is Pia's father.

Do you realise what you have just done?

And how do you expect me to use this information?

As you said,

Arik Shor is one of the most powerful men in Israel.

But this,

the truth about his daughter,

it will kill his career, his family.

Save his daughter and his career...

he will owe you big time.

That is, if what you're telling me is true.

It is.

The information you gave us,

it's interesting.

Even useful, if we do it the right way.

Still...

Still what?

I would need to find a way how to get the hostages out,

and I don't.

- But you can go into Sinai. - These men are hiding in a vast desert.

- How am I supposed to find them? - You're the ones in charge here!

Enough!

How is it possible to come here and be so arrogant?

And to tell me how I should and can do stuff?

For now, there is hundreds of more important things to do.

Example, your friend and Israel are bombing us.

- We had a deal! - Alex!

- Out! - But...

There must be something you can do!

- Alex. - Please!

I'm sorry.

Do you know? Do you know what they're planning in Oslo?

ISIS and their henchmen,

they're planning to get Abu Salim out of jail by force.

Every second she's there...

- Just... Please! - Enough, Alex. Alex.

When you said you had something on Arik,

I never thought it was Pia.

Alex...

Is it true?

Is she...?

So, that's why she came to Israel.

To see him.

They're getting him out?

Abu Salim is not to live another day in freedom.

Who do we have in Europe?

Selma.

This other mess with hostages, we leave it, right?

Fucking ISIS!

They're making us look like impotent fools.

We should show them we're in charge.

Having secret assistance...

from an Israeli Minister of Intelligence, it could help.

What you're saying is impossible.

We can't start doing business with Israeli ministers...

I'm the one who decides here

what we can and cannot do.

Call Selma.

Wait here.

I have something to say to Bashir.

Tonight, we bear witness to an extraordinary act

in one of history's defining dramas.

Someone from the Shin Bet is here to see you.

Uh, um... I only have 15 minutes before the meeting of the cabinet.

He said it would be enough.

Send him in.

- Go ahead. - Thanks very much.

- Hey. - Hello.

It's Adam, right?

Yes. Adam Berkowitz. It's an honour to meet you, Minister.

Yes, yes, yes.

I've heard a lot of good things about you from Udi.

Thanks. Thanks.

You're on the way to an urgent cabinet meeting, so I'll make it short.

Okay.

It's about the...

rescue operation in Sinai.

Udi appointed me head of the invest...

The investigative team? Yeah, yeah, we talked about that.

So... how's the investigation going?

We're finding out who is capable of carrying out this operation.

Mm-hmm. And? Any leads?

We believe that it did come from the direction of Israel.

After analysing data like the short time it took the team to organise, get there,

as well as their familiarity with the area, and so on,

that's our conclusion.

Israelis would have done a much better job, don't you think?

Maybe.

We've managed to talk to a few private security companies

that are capable of operations of this magnitude.

We received proof that they didn't have any connection to the matter.

Very nice, though I wonder how it relates to me.

One of those we still haven't been able to locate is Shaul Grant.

You know him, don't you?

I was his commander.

Hmm.

Yes, I also read that you testified on his behalf at his military trial.

Look, Grant bent a few rules now and then, you know, he didn't always go by the book,

but we're talking about the finest officer in my unit.

That's also what I said at his military trial, of course.

Hmm. Nice.

You have any idea where we could find him?

Are you being serious?

Look, I rarely speak to him these days.

I...

see him now and then, at memorial services for the guys, at unit nights, but...

I... I don't remember when I last saw him.

Shame.

I was hoping you could give us a lead on where to find him.

Tell him I said hello when you see him, okay?

You're friends with the Norwegian mother, right?

From '93?

- Yeah. - Hmm.

Yes, although...

..."friend" is a bit of an exaggeration, I'd say.

- Mm-hmm? - You know, I...

My wife and I are just trying to support her as much as we can

during this terrible ordeal she's going through.

Hmm.

Nice talisman.

Yes. There's a...

There's this stall that sells them.

- By the Rose Garden. - Hmm.

Look, with regard to the operation,

I can't believe Grant was involved.

Even a nut like him wouldn't take on such a dangerous operation,

and even if he did, I'm sure he would have done a much better job.

- Right. But I'd like to know... - But... but... but...

I think now you'll have to excuse me, because I'm really late for that meeting.

Thank you very much for your time, Minister.

It was a pleasure meeting you.

I'll tell Udi that everything he said about you was right.

Good day.

Alex,

they are going to try.

To try what?

They are going to try to get Pia back.

H-How? What did you say?

I will tell you later.

Layla, I can't begin... to thank you.

Thank me when this is over.

Right now,

you need to convince our Israeli friend.

To do what?

- He will have to deal with them. - Arik?

I'm Selma.

Yes, I'm here.

What should I be doing now?

I just met Hamas.

- I'm sorry? - They want to deal with you.

I told them you're Pia's father.

What?

- I had to make them act, and you... - This is it!

There will be no more contact from now on.

- Do you understand me? - Please, Arik, they can save her.

They have some proposal.

Oh, really?

A proposal?

I figured you for a smart woman.

But tell me,

if they leak this secret and I must resign,

what use am I for them?

Well, I wou...

If the Hamas suddenly makes a claim about me being her father,

well, right now, I have bigger problems.

With this investigation, I'll end up in jail soon anyway.

So, you make sure you don't end up in jail then.

I know this is my problem,

but if I go down, you go down.

Peace be upon you.

Hello dear.

Welcome.

Welcome, Sheikh.

- Let's go to the chambers. - Welcome, Sheikh!

Yusef...

- Are you okay? - Thanks to God.

Are you getting rest?

Welcome.

My mother will never forgive me for taking her to Sinai.

Shh, shh, shh. No, I'm sure she will.

See you coming home?

You never really talk about your dad.

We're not in touch.

For years he...

He didn't let me meet Noa, so...

- Why? - I'm dead for him.

He gave me up.

God is more important to him, okay? So...

He did the same with Noa.

How can I...

go back home without her?

...the investigation of who was behind the failed rescue attempt in Sinai

which ultimately cost an Israeli hostage her life.

According to our sources,

the inquiry marks a major turning point in the investigation.

We will report back

when there are new developments in the case.

Uh, Doron asked for a meeting...

Sorry to interrupt, Minister. He's...

Again?

Well, I'm sorry. We'll continue later. Bat-El, set up a meeting.

Thank you, Maya.

I'm sorry to interrupt you again...

You apologise too much, Adam.

I'm starting to think it's a tactic.

You're on to me, Minister.

Okay, what?

- What now? - As I've already told you.

We're looking to find out who hired Grant and his team.

Are you willing to get to the point?

Did you, at any point, ask Grant to carry out a rescue operation

to release the hostages?

No. Absolutely not.

Where were you the night of the raid?

At home, probably.

Probably?

You're welcome to phone my wife and ask.

According to the data we have,

someone called Grant from these offices.

Do you know how many people work in this building?

- Hundreds. - Yes.

But not all of them have this photo on their desks.

I thank you for coming on such short notice.

I called you here today

because I have something to say to the world.

In this time of grief and desperation...

we owe it to the world to be truthful.

Minister, I'm sorry to interrupt. There's something you have to see.

Secrets can hurt.

There is already too much pain going on.

So, the time for secrets has to come... to an end.

I will start by saying

how deeply sorry I am.

All I ask before you condemn me is one thing.

What I did...

I did as a mother,

a mother who could not bear

to sit and wait for her child to be executed.

A mother

who, as all parents out there,

would do anything...

to protect her child.

The attempt to save Pia, Nadav and Noa

has already cost too much.

I understand...

that the uncertainty of who was behind it

is causing even more grief.

I want that grief to end.

It was...

as a frightened,

helpless,

desperate mother I acted.

It was as a mother I failed.

It was as a mother...

I hired

mercenaries...

and ordered

to free the three hostages.

I am responsible for the failure.

And for that, I want to say again how deeply and utterly sorry...

I am.

Okay. Bat-El, please turn it off.

I...

I think you have other matters to attend to.

Yes. Good.

Thank you.

During the war, and throughout the subsequent German occupation,

they defined and condemned, as terrorists, our resistance fighters.

Okay, so what you're saying is...

The cliché that one man's terrorist is the other's freedom fighter.

Who's the judge of that? Norway?

That has to be our argument for a new trial.

We can't convict a member of another state

for being a member of what we might think of

as a terrorist organisation.

- Shit! - What is it?

- Um, it's your wife. - Hand me it.

I hired...

mercenaries...

and ordered

to free the three of...

Oh dear God.

Karl, you must stay calm, or else, we'll lose our grip here.

I-I'll see you later at the office.

Oh fuck!

Uh, yeah... Hi... Hi Alex.

I-I don't know what the hell to say.

I-I hope you know what you're doing and...

And-and please call me as soon as you hear this.

And by the way, here at home, it's going...

I think I've found a way to get Abu Salim out of prison.

Please call me as soon as you can. Bye.

WE WANT THEM HOME

Anat...

I just want to say...

...how deeply sorry I...

Get out!

Get out of here!

Get out! Get out of here!

- Murderer! - Please.

- You killed her! - Calm down. Calm down.

- Calm down. - How could you kill her?

- No shame? - Come with me.

- You should be ashamed. - Yes, move aside. Come on.

- Please. - Go on. Go!

- Stay. - Get out, scumbag.

- You're a murderer! - Stay.

- That's right. - Come.

You can't come here anymore. You understand?

These streets are not safe for you now.

Go now.

Be careful.

- Get out! - Go home!

Get out of here! You're not welcome!

Please.

- Go home. - Okay.

Please. Please, let me through.

- Go home! - We don't want you here!

Okay, just calm down.

Please! Please!

- Hey, leave! - I'm sorry, I...

- Go! Go! There's nothing here for you! - Get back!

I'm with the government. Get in.

Move back!

- What's up? What is it? - Get in!

- Why? - Murderer!

Wh-What's going on?

I just want to ask you a few questions about your role in the rescue attempt.

Okay.

Did you hire the mercenaries yourself or did you get anybody to do it for you?

My husband... helped me with this.

As you can imagine, we're both devastated by the...

tragic result.

Were there any Israeli citizens responsible for arranging the mission?

Did Arik Shor have any role in this?

Arik Shor has a role in your government, who does nothing, like my government.

That's why I had to try something else.

We have triangulated a phone call to the supposed organiser

from the ministry of your friend Shor the day before the attempt.

I don't keep the minister's phone records.

He's not local. That's all I can tell you.

Something's not right.

I'll figure it out.

Here comes the tea.

My son!

Yusuf?

You know I've been busy, and...

Shut up.

I talked with Bashir.

- If you go back, they will forgive you. - Thank you, Mum.

There's one condition.

You should bring Pia and Nadav.

What?

- But that's impossible. - Bashir was very clear.

- Impossible, Mother. - You can't come back without them.

I'll have to run through the desert.

If I have to drag them along, the Israeli is wounded,

Ali will catch us in no time.

Sorry, Yusuf, but you have to find a way.

Thank God!

Karl.

This is starting to go the wrong way, yeah?

Wrong things are happening.

Seems you and your wife have misunderstood a few things.

You seem to believe that you have a choice.

But let me make this completely clear.

If you...

or your wife...

like this, again, try to pull off any bullshit,

try to free her or anything that we didn't ask you to do, then,

unfortunately,

I'll have to send a message.

"Kill her now," it says.

Don't forget to tell me the date for Abu's court case.

What?

Are you not shocked

that one of your old friends is behind all this?

I wouldn't say shocked.

It was obvious someone involved with the hostages was behind it.

Mum, can I go out?

Yeah, sure. Where?

To Anna's.

Okay, but keep your phone on.

- Okay. Bye. - And take your key.

I will.

Oren told me his troops are on high alert, and it's all because of her.

They always raise the alert level. It happens much more often than you think.

He'll be fine. Don't worry.

I'm his mother. I'm afraid something will happen to him...

So, maybe as a mother, you can understand Alex.

Really?

Are you really justifying that idiotic thing she's done?

Come on, of course not.

What, is there a problem?

No. It's just work.

I'll be right back.

- You really have to go? - I can't stay, Dana.

Alex?

Listen... I'm really sorry.

Sorry about what?

I'm sorry I never told you the secret about Pia.

I understand.

Take care, Alex.

You too.

What are we going to do?

Have you talked to the Shabak?

Yes.

It's going to be alright.

Are you sure?

Yes.

For now.

And now I want to know if you're doing it.

You mean,

dealing with them?

Mm.

No.

But now that the heat of the investigation is off...

Yes. And for that I'm grateful.

Still, I can't deal with Hamas.

And besides, Alex, no matter what they want,

it's not going to be something I can give them.

- But you don't know that. - Yes, I do.

You know, outside the hotel,

there is a group of people who hate me.

And not only them.

It feels like the whole of Israel wants to chew me up because of what you did.

I'm sorry, but I never asked you to take the blame.

I'm not complaining!

I was well aware that they were going to be angry!

Okay.

I just want to remind you that that anger, which at the moment is directed to me...

As I told you, I really don't respond that well to threats, Alex.

So, maybe you should.

Because if you don't...

now there are two secrets you don't want to come out.

Monster.
