Original subtitles

Well?

Not yet.

It's like Morse code, but not exactly.

It's very impressive.

ASAP, okay?

Take Uri to Room 2.

He only had two hours of sleep. -So did I. Room B.

And tell the nurse to meet me there.

By the way, our shift was supposed to end two hours ago, so... -Really?

Yes, really.

I know.

Uri?

Written and Directed by Gideon Raff

Prisoners of War

What is it?

Vitamins.

Minerals, you need to get stronger.

You might feel a bit nauseous.

Let me know if you do and I'll give you something for that.

Thanks. -Thank you, Dalia.

How are you?

I'm tired.

You look tired too.

That's why I want us to be done here

so we can all go back to our lives.

Something funny?

No.

Yesterday you told me that in '94 you were moved to Jabaliya.

Did Jamal join you there?

They gave us shots too.

Uri?

Truth serum.

At first, when they wanted to get us to talk, they gave us shots.

Uri, you got vitamins. No truth serum.

Would you like me to repeat the question?

I suggest you get me a bucket or...

a garbage can, it always affected me very badly and...

very quickly. -I told you, you just got vitamins.

The IDF doesn't use...

My Uri...

I've come to save you.

Don't touch me.

You traitor.

I'm dead because of you.

Again?

He's never going to let us be.

Yeah, it's really his fault.

What happened this time?

These dreams...

When I see him, it's so real.

He's dead, that's what's real.

And this is real.

Yes. Real and kicking.

I'll be right back.

Yes? -Talya?

Yes.

Oh, good. I was afraid I might not have your number anymore...

Who is this?

It's Nurit.

Sorry... Nurit.

Zach.

I was calling to see how you are. If you're okay.

I'm fine, thanks. And you?

Yes...

Yes.

I'm feeling so many different things...

and you're the only one who's in my situation, that's why I called.

We're not in the same situation.

I didn't mean it that way... I meant...

I'm in a bit of a hurry, Nurit, and I'm driving, so...

Oh, I didn't mean to bother you.

Do you know when they'll be back?

No.

Okay. Well...

Bye.

Ilan? Talya.

I want to know when he's coming home. I...

This just isn't right.

I want someone to call now and tell me when he's coming home.

Better?

Yes.

Everything will be okay.

You'll see.

I promise you.

Me? -Yes.

Everything will be okay.

You'll see.

I promise you.

Come on, motherfucker.

Come on, Jewish dog.

â€

â€

â€

â€

â€

â€

He's not dead.

It's sunny and beautiful outside.

Let's go to the beach. -Okay.

Shit, come look at this. -I'm making coffee.

Now.

Shit.

Where is he?

Room A.

And you didn't see him after that?

What happened to him?

They killed him.

Shot him. I don't know.

They finished him off.

Torture is not an exact science.

One punch too hard and that's the end of it.

And this was before Jabaliya?

Yes. Before.

When's the last time you saw him?

I don't remember.

You don't remember?

You don't remember the last time you saw someone

who was so close to you?

I'll be right back.

Take your time.

Hey...

When we first got here, I saw a pool upstairs.

Why not? Have fun.

You want the pool wire-tapped? -What is she doing here?

Mrs. Klein, how are you? -Talya. I'm fine.

Are you in charge here?

I'm the psychiatrist who's talking to your husband

and taking care of him.

And how is he?

He's in shock, as expected. It's not easy.

I hope he'll be okay.

I brought him a few things that...

I'll make sure he gets it.

I'll give it to him myself.

That's impossible.

Nothing is impossible.

Mrs. Klein, you should've called, I would've saved you the long trip.

17 years I've been waiting.

Fighting every day to see him again.

And now he's here,

somewhere in this building, and you won't let me see him?

Why?

What are you doing to him?

The whole idea of bringing him here is to create a safe environment

between the trauma they experienced and the life they're entering.

We create a safe bubble where they can feel comfortable.

They relax, enjoy themselves,

start functioning normally again.

This way they start digesting the change.

And is he functioning normally? Is he able to enjoy himself?

Where is Nimrode right now?

When is he coming home?

Maybe even tonight.

Thanks for showing me.

Some advice, if you don't mind...

This time is good for you as well.

It'll allow you to rearrange your life.

Make room for him in your life.

Sometimes when people live alone for a long time,

something shuts down and there's no room for anyone else.

There's room for him. There always was.

Everyone in the country knows how hard you worked for him.

How dedicated you were.

All the protests, the petitions, the... campaigning.

You're a hero.

He's lucky you're his wife and not the other one.

Where were you?

I had to pee.

You should've peed in the pool, like me.

They deserve it.

Thanks for picking me up.

I was going crazy at home.

Complete strangers keep calling, telling me how sorry they are,

leaving stuff by my front door. Don't ask.

They're thinking about you.

They're feeling sorry for me.

Anyway, thanks for coming. -No problem.

I just have to make this one stop on the way,

then we can go anywhere you want.

What's here? -The Tsuberi family.

Their eldest was killed in a training accident.

Their younger son was wounded in the Second Lebanon War

and died a few days later.

Why do you do this, Ilan?

Why do you surround yourself with all this?

It's my reserves duty.

I know, but you volunteered to do it.

Is it out of sheer kindness?

Someone has to take care of these families.

To keep in touch with them, follow-up on them.

Besides, every now and then you meet good people.

If I didn't do this, I wouldn't have met you.

Today I already visited a family that... -I don't want to hear it.

Sorry.

We can't all be heroes like you.

I'll be right back, then we can do whatever you want.

Let's go to the beach.

I don't have a bathing suit or a towel.

Then I guess not.

Okay, we'll go to the beach. -Good.

He's a good man.

So now you're a matchmaker?

He's cute.

Yeah, he's cute.

Mom?

Mom.

What are you doing?

Making room.

Need any help?

Toss it, all of it.

â€

This is from before you were born.

I like this one. â€

We protested in New York outside the UN building with these signs.

I left you with Grandpa and Grandma, remember?

Look.

A letter from the U.S. Secretary of State.

â€

â€

Wow...

You don't have to throw it all out, Mom.

What do I need this for? It's all bad memories.

It's your life's work.

You're my life's work. You and Dana.

Tell me something,

are you happy he's back?

What kind of a question is that, Hatzavi?

Aren't you?

It's just...

a huge change for all of us.

But he's your father and he...

You'll get to know him.

I know you'll be the best of friends.

I can't wait till he knows you the way I do.

What's that?

The quiche.

Hello, I made an order for take out.

Your name? -Nurit Zach.

It will be a few minutes. Have a seat.

Look who just walked in.

At least the other one has some self respect.

She waited all these years and was so noble.

This one went straight into the arms his brother,

of all people!

Selfish.

She has a son. Is that any way to raise a son, to be a traitor?

What values could a woman like her possibly have?

She has some nerve.

I wouldn't leave the house if I were her.

Think how her husband must feel, she ruined the entire family.

It's disgusting.

What a horrible woman.

She stabbed the poor guy in the back.

Are you talking about me?

If you are, don't judge. You have no idea what it's like.

Your order is ready.

Enjoy your meal.

Well?

I was looking for you. I got it.

It's done?

The decoding is. Now I'm going through the tapes

and deciphering what I can.

It's pretty amazing, Haim.

It's a bit like Morse code

and a bit like what we used to do in the Boy Scouts.

Each tap is a letter.

One tap is A, two taps is B.

If you tap with all your fingers,

it takes you to F through J,

and then again, one tap is F,

two taps is G, three taps is H. Pretty impressive, huh?

Call me when you've got something to show me.

It won't take long.

Did you enjoy the pool?

It was nice.

Thanks for that.

Your wife was here, she came to visit you.

You were at the pool and...

She's a very special woman.

Why didn't you call me?

It's better if you don't meet people from the outside while you're here.

You don't want her to see how you're mistreating us.

That's what you think we're doing?

No.

But all these questions over and over again...

I explained to you why that's necessary.

Yes.

Amiel.

I told you everything I know about what happened to him.

You said that sometime in the beginning of 1994, before Jabaliya,

they killed him.

Right.

Tell me again.

No. I'm not repeating it.

I told you everything I know.

You want to hear it again, rewind your little tapes.

I'm trying to understand what happened to Amiel

and you're going to tell me about the last time you saw him.

What don't you understand? One day he was gone.

I don't know exactly what happened...

I heard yelling and yelling.

Then suddenly it went quiet.

Dead quiet. And that was the last time...

I don't think they meant to kill him.

Why would they? I guess someone went too far.

Amiel begged, he screamed that he has a family, a sister.

Nothing helped.

I saw his body after. By mistake.

They didn't want...

I think they were ashamed of what happened,

but one of them took me into interrogation and...

Who was the man in the cell with him when you saw him?

He looked so calm.

I think I envied him a little.

What are you accusing me of?

Of not knowing what happened? Tell me.

You want me to make something up?

Okay, last time I saw him was when we went for ice cream in Damascus.

He ordered chocolate, I ordered vanilla!

Would you calm down? -I'm calm, I'm just telling you...

...that I don't know what happened to him.

I really don't know.

I don't know.

Okay.

Dad,

will you be upset if I decide not to have a Bar Mitzvah?

Why would you do that?

Would you be upset?

No, but Assafi, you'll regret it.

But everyone will be there, I'm embarrassed.

It's okay, you'll get over it.

There are many things in life that we don't want to do,

but we have to.

Is that why Mom is living with that man who came back?

I already told you, Mom is away for work.

I'm not six anymore, I know what's going on.

The man who came back is your uncle.

My brother. Mom is helping him.

Because they used to be boyfriend-girlfriend?

Who told you that?

Kids at school. They say lots of things. -What things?

About Mom.

Listen to me.

Your mother is the most wonderful woman in the world,

she loves you more than anything in the world.

Don't let anyone say anything bad about her, okay?

It's not just them. Grandpa says...

He says what?

Never mind.

Is that why you don't want to have a Bar Mitzvah?

Because of what those kids say? Fuck them, Assafi.

All of them. What do they know?

He's not that cute.

No?

No.

Stop it...

The water is awesome. This is fun!

What?

Have you been working out?

A little, I've lost a few pounds.

I'm trying.

You look good.

Thanks.

The sunset is beautiful. -Yeah.

How come you don't have anyone, Yaeli?

How come you don't?

I'm not much of a catch.

I guess I'm not either.

I made the same quiche. It came out perfect.

Awesome.

I want the whole family to have dinner together.

Can you leave early?

I left early yesterday for the same reason.

They didn't let Dad out yesterday, but I'm hoping they will tonight.

I'll see what I can do.

Ze'ev, I gotta leave early. Some family thing with my dad.

Not tonight, Dana, we have too much work.

You left early yesterday.

Thanks, Ze'ev, you're the best. Love ya, see you tomorrow.

Dana?

Should I continue? -Yes.

Go on.

3:07 a.m.

Uri: â€

No response.

7:04 a.m.

Nimrode: â€

Uri: â€

â€

At this point, Nimrode moves to the bed.

Move on, all this isn't interesting.

It's all like this. -Nothing about the interrogations?

No, not really. -Let me see that.

Haim, I don't think they're hiding anything.

I just think some of the things are hard for them to talk about

and some happened a long time ago.

Thanks for that interpretation, Mika. Good job.

Let them go.

Yes?

Yaki? What are you doing here?

I missed you, I came to say hi.

Me too, but you can't be here.

What if he comes back? He's supposed to come back.

Then we'll say I came to see how he's doing.

He's my brother. I'm allowed to visit him.

I really don't think it's a good idea.

You got a haircut.

Yeah, I felt like it.

I've wanted a change for a long time.

I brought you some clothes. I didn't know how much you packed.

For him too.

Some old things of mine. -That's great, thanks. So...

How long are you planning on doing this?

The military said a few days, you know that.

What's with all the makeup? Who are you trying to impress?

I always wear makeup.

Not like that. And your hair...

Yaki, this isn't the time to fight. He'll be here any second...

So what? Let him come.

If you stop thinking about yourself for one second you'll realize

that what we did is going to be very hard for him to accept.

What we did?

What is this horrible thing we did?

He was gone, we fell in love... That's all we did.

Someone has to tell him.

That's what I planned on doing tonight.

Really? -Yes.

I'll join you for dinner, so you won't have to tell him alone.

That's not a good idea. Come on, Yaki!

You want me to go.

What do you want from me?!

I want this to be hard for you, that's all.

I want you to be here because you're forced to, not because you want to.

I don't want to be here.

I don't believe you.

I married you, didn't I? I love... you.

You.

How many times do I have to tell you that?

I have no way of convincing you now.

Go home, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

Are you sure you know what you're doing?

I hope so.

Your hair looks nice.

I had a really good time.

Thank you.

I had a good time too.

Call me tomorrow?

Yeah.

Wait for Dad.

How do you see me from there?

Hi.

Hi.

How was it?

It was... I'm glad it's over.

I came to visit you today.

I heard, thanks.

I made a spectacular dinner. The kids are waiting.

Wow.

The table looks beautiful.

Hi.

Hey.

Hey.

What's new?

I feel like pizza.

What?

I feel like pizza.

I missed eating pizza, the thin-crusted kind.

But... -The pizza place on Ibn Gabirol in Tel Aviv is open.

We're going to drive all the way to Tel Aviv?

Why not? Let's have a family outing.

Okay, if that's what you all want

I made...

But if you... -We can eat all this tomorrow.

But there's... I made...

Okay. Let's go.

No, never mind.

We can do pizza tomorrow. If you made this especially...

The man wants pizza, Mom. Don't be selfish.

I'm not. It's fine.

You sure?

Yes, sure.

Let's go.

I love being... spontaneous.

Thanks for the ride.

He's home.

I'm out of here.

â€

â€

Who did they eliminate?

Really?

Too bad, he was good. â€

I loved him, he had a great voice. But his hair was the worst.

He looks like a penis.

...to make sure you're okay and to see if there's anything...

Amiel.

They killed him.

Shot him. I don't know.

And this was before Jabaliya?

Yes. Before.

â€

Laughter.

Nimrode: â€

Uri: â€

â€

Uri: â€

And this was before Jabaliya?

Yes. Before.

Uri...

Are you hiding anything from me?

We have a problem.

â€

Ami?

Look what they did to me.
