Yes, seven killed.

That's what happened this weekend in road accidents.

Yesterday a 19-year old was killed in Jerusalem

after driving without a license... [telephone ringing]

Hello?

Uri?

Hey, it's Iris.

Hey.

How are you?

I'm fine.

I know who you are.

Why didn't you tell me?

I don't know.

How did you find out?

I saw a picture of you in the paper

and I told my girlfriend that you're the cutie I had coffee with

and she called me a liar.

So...

Do you want to do something?

You're still interested?

Why not? Does it change anything?

I'll pick you up in 45 minutes?

Today? No, I can't today, I have to do some...

errands.

Great. I'll join you.

45 minutes, wait for me downstairs?

Um... -Bye.

Again.

Harder, you dog.

No, please, leave me alone.

I'm begging you, I'm begging you!

Come on, motherfucker!

It's okay...

It's okay, hit me.

Hit me, harder, come on.

Come on, you son of a bitch!

Hit him, you dog!

Hit him, you dog!

Again, you pig!

It's okay.

Hit him, motherfucker.

To most of you, Amiel Ben Horin is a symbol.

A sticker, a bookmark, a billboard sign,

a soldier who fell captive.

To me, he's Ami.

My best friend.

My best friend who celebrated birthdays with me all my life.

Who played outside with me on the sidewalk every day.

Who talked me into asking Revital to go steady with me in the 7th grade.

Who got me out of any trouble I got myself into.

Who helped me in school...

You think I can smoke?

Don't you dare.

Who was there for me when my parents died.

We celebrated our Bar-Mitzvah together...

Will you stop it?

Calm down, you're crying more than his sister.

...when we were drafted together.

Ami had a huge heart...

I'm not allowed to cry?

He took in every stray dog...

But what are you crying about?

...despite his mother's shouting.

He taught us all a lesson in compassion...

When you said errands...

I thought we'd go to the mall.

This is the weirdest date I've ever had.

He was a best friend to anyone who knew him.

He always looked out for us all.

Even after he fell captive,

Ami remained my best friend.

When I got married, he was there with me, and when my twins were born

he stood beside me.

When I have a problem at work, I still close my eyes

and consult with him, he's always available.

Always thinking of others first, and then about himself.

Only today, standing at his open grave

I am finally letting him rest.

Rest, Ami.

You deserve it.

Uri.

Hi.

Hi.

Hello, Yoskeh.

Hello.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Yes.

Not here.

Over there?

Just for a second.

I can't right now, we have to...

It's not a good time now.

Okay.

The price was too high!

The price was too high!

The price was too high!

The price was too high!

The price was too high!

Hey...

Look.

You see that?

Wait... -I'm sorry, he got through somehow...

Wait,

look at their faces. -It's okay, let him.

You see?

This is my wife, this is my daughter.

The terrorist who murdered them is free now because of you.

The people that killed them in cold blood

are free.

You understand?

Leave me be.

I just want him to see!

This is my daughter, this is my wife.

They were eating pizza in Jerusalem.

The terrorist who butchered them is free now.

For you!

They let him go for you!

What do they want?

If their loved ones were POWs, would they still say:

â€

Did they expect you'd be released just because we ask nicely?

These things always have a high price.

It's just a handful of people. The vast majority supported the deal.

And if you stayed there

would it bring their loved ones back?

I don't understand the logic behind it.

There is no logic.

Only pain.

â€

Are you okay?

What?

You okay?

Yes.

Shall we?

The food's pretty good.

Want me to get you a plate?

Nurit, are you listening to me?

Do you know who that woman is?

Why's he taking her everywhere?

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

I went to high school with Amiel.

I hated him.

We were very good friends.

We called him â€

Sorry.

Yael...

How are you holding up?

If there's anything my office can do for you,

please don't hesitate. -Thank you.

Minister, a picture?

Smile.

Excuse me. -Certainly.

I'm here if you need anything. -Thank you.

What's your problem now?

Why can't I go home? Are you really going to miss me here?

You're here for your father.

The whole family. A united front.

â€

What are we, running for office?

Yael, why are you so mad?

Come sit next to me.

Enough.

Do you want me to stop talking?

Yes. You're not here, you don't exist.

Don't start with me.

I just buried you.

Yeah, that wasn't very nice of you.

You deserve it.

Who are all those people downstairs?

I don't know any of them.

Then throw them out.

What am I doing?

Stop talking to me, you're not here, you don't exist.

I am here.

Enough.

Who are you talking to? -No one.

Can I come in? -No.

Yes. Do whatever you want.

Yael, what are you doing here? Everyone's in the living room.

I don't know any of them.

I want them to leave.

You think I can ask them to leave?

I can't calm down.

My heart is going to explode in my chest.

What's that? -Anti-anxiety. It'll help you relax.

I just want this day to be over already.

This week. -I know.

Are you mad at me?

No, Ilan.

What? Are you mad?

No.

Yael, if I did something... -You didn't do anything, Ilan.

I tried holding your hand at the funeral... -Hold their hands,

not mine.

Whose hands?

Nothing.

What did I do to you?

You disappointed me.

That's what you did.

You disappointed me.

You made me a promise,

to everyone.

You kept your promise to the other families.

So if you want to hold anyone's hand,

hold theirs, not mine.

I'm mad.

I can't look at them and I can't look at you.

And I know it's not their fault or yours

but it's not fair.

You promised me that Amiel would come back.

I...

I can't look at you, Ilan.

One more.

Hi.

I'm Iris.

Nurit.

Wait...

You're here with Uri, right?

Yes, he invited me to come.

I'm sorry I don't recognize you.

Do we know each other?

No.

Then how...

did you and Uri meet?

We met yesterday.

By chance.

Oh, yesterday.

You know...

Uri is very vulnerable right now.

He needs to be surrounded by people who support him and know him.

Not with people who are excited about who he is

or people he met a few hours ago.

I understand you're worried about him,

but he asked me to come here.

And I don't think I owe anyone any explanation.

Least of all, you.

Young man,

pour me some of that juice.

Thank you.

What's your name?

Hatzav.

Hatzav.

Why do people these days

give their children such stupid names?

I don't know.

You're Talya and Nimrod's son.

Yes.

You're Uri's father, right?

We both were given a gift.

You got a father,

I got a son.

So cheers.

Cheers.

You're lucky.

You're very lucky

that your father's back.

You're young.

You have many more years to spend with him.

I'm lucky too.

It's just a shame his mother died before he came back.

She would have been so happy.

My god...

Beer?

Brother, can we forget about Nurit for a minute

and talk like two brothers who haven't seen each other in a long time?

Is that what you want?

Very much so.

Since I got back, you've hardly looked me in the eye.

You're right. I'm a coward.

Always have been.

But I was your brother before I was her husband.

Before you were her boyfriend.

Fiance.

If I had thought for one second

that you'd come back... -I don't think that's true.

Maybe you're right.

Even though I'm the older brother,

I was always jealous of you.

I always wanted what you had.

Your brains, your friends.

Mom and Dad's attention.

I don't remember it that way.

Heck, you were in captivity for 17 years

and I'm still jealous of...

What are you talking about, Yaki?

I hoped you were dead.

There were days that I hoped you were dead.

I'm sorry, I'm...

I'm really...

Seeing you suddenly like this...

I was so happy with her in the beginning.

Why are you telling me this?

Late at night, in bed I'd pray that you'd never come back.

And at the same time I hated myself for doing it.

Uri...

Don't take her away from me.

What?

She and Assaf...

They're the only good thing about my life.

Please don't take her away from me.

Is that why you...

Need any help?

No, thank you.

How are you?

I'm fine.

Have you seen Yael? With all the people here, I can't find her.

Yes, I spoke with her earlier.

It was a nice ceremony.

Respectable.

Yes.

Poor thing.

Yes.

I kept thinking that it could've been us instead of her...

I have to finish up here.

Can I ask you a question?

Why do you hate me so much?

I don't hate you. -Then why?

We used to be such good friends.

Nurit, give me a break.

We were never friends.

We were... partners.

In a tragedy.

But we were still... -We fought together.

But then you got up

and left me, on my own.

On your own?

This isn't the time to hash out all these things,

and...

it doesn't matter anymore.

It matters to me.

You could've helped me.

The whole country hates me.

People cuss at me wherever I go, they look at me like...

What did I do? -And that's my fault?

You're the woman everyone admires,

the one who didn't cheat, the good one.

In interviews, on television, you could have...

You know, just like I do, that they weren't the only ones in captivity.

We were too.

I sat in prison for 17 years.

Just like him.

But you upped and left.

You left me there alone.

Because I fell in love? -You moved on with your life.

You're mad at me for wanting to live?

That's not a right we have!

We're supposed to wait,

to fight.

Not surrender.

I fight,

day in and day out, alone.

I can understand everyone's boycott on me.

They weren't in our shoes, so they can hate me.

But you? -Especially me.

I still can't understand how you did this to him.

To me.

It's easy for you to say... -Easy?

I had it easy?

How dare you.

You had two kids.

A family.

I wanted kids too.

Did you all expect me to be single forever?

To sacrifice my life just so you can feel good about yourselves?

Would that have made you all happy?

Don't blame me for the mess you created in your life!

Everyone can hear. -Not now!

I'm not as strong as you are, Talya.

I couldn't keep on waiting.

It would've killed me.

Maybe you're the strong one and not me.

What did I do all these years?

I waited?

You dared to live.

You didn't let them put you in the square they wanted you in.

Yeah, and look at me now,

everyone hates me more than the Hezbollah.

Especially him.

I hurt him so much.

Everyone, apparently.

Even Assaf. The kids at school...

If you had waited, there would've been no Assaf.

And if I had waited...

And if they hadn't come back...

I would've been alone my whole life.

You know, I'm a little jealous of Uri sometimes.

Uri? Why?

Come look at them.

Like a married couple.

He's his real partner.

We'll never be a part of the things they went through together.

I'll be happy with just taking some kind of part in his life.

Will you help me with the dishes?

It's good to be at home, huh?

The kids are nice.

Talya's a little...

The food's good here.

I forgot how much.

Much better than Jamal's cooking.

Anything's better than pita bread with gasoline...

I called yesterday,

the number he gave us.

Someone answered.

Come on.

I thought we said... -I hung up.

I just wanted...

I don't know.

Come on, keep walking.

But we said we wouldn't...

Maybe we should just tell someone.

Put this behind us.

How do you suggest we put... -Excuse me?

Thank you for coming.

I feel like we've known each other for a long time.

But we've never really met.

I feel the same way. -Me too.

We heard so much about you.

He...

Ami...

He talked about you a lot. And your parents.

And the dogs.

It's strange being here after everything we heard about this place.

I imagined it completely different.

What happened to him?

What happened that he didn't come back?

He...

We're not exactly sure.

Most of the time we were separated.

Did he suffer?

No... I...

I know he suffered.

I can feel it.

We all suffered.

I need to hear it.

I need to know what happned to him.

If there's anything you know.

Please.

Again, you dog.

No, no, he's had enough.

Finish him off.

You have three seconds...

One... two...

Okay, okay.

Okay.

Harder, you dog.

Harder.

Again, harder.

Come on.

Hit him.

Please, no.

Harder, motherfucker!

Harder!

I don't know.

Really.

Everything okay?

Can we go? I need to make a stop on the way home.

Go? Already?

Yes.

Yes, sure.

Did you tell the kids?

I'll go get them...

How are you?

Fine... thanks.

Thanks for looking out for him.

We looked out for each other.

I promised to do whatever I could, but there are things...

I know.

I know.

I'm sorry for what I said earlier, I didn't mean it.

You sure?

Poor things, I didn't walk them all day.

Where's Dana?

How should I know?

Go wait by the car, I'll be right there.

Goodbye, Yoskeh.

Well?

See you later, young man.

Add me as your friend on Facebook, okay?

Dana?

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here? -Who's that with you?

Mom, it's not...

Dana? What's going on here?

Who's Dana?

We're leaving. Go to the car.

Now!

Ma'am...

She said... Nothing happened.

She told me... -I know.

I know my daughter.

Are you sure there's nothing we can help with?

Yes.

If there's anything we can do...

Actually, there is something you can do.

Yes, it's quite obvious.

Yes, yes.

I don't know.

How many times do I have to say it?

Yes.

Dad?

It's for you.

Come in.

If you want to ruin my relationship with him...

Nothing I say helps,

and he is your father.

Maybe he'll know what to do.

Mom, I promised it won't happen again.

Don't tell him.

I don't want him to know.

Please.

Tomorrow I'm finding a therapist for you. You'll start going once a week...

No way I'm going to a therapist.

Then I'm telling him.

Either you talk to a therapist or I tell him.

Fine, I get it, okay.

I'll start seeing a therapist tomorrow.

It was very strange.

The sky was black... that day.

My wife called me from the pizza place and told me

to go out and look at the sky.

A few minutes before the explosion.

My daughter Dorit loved pizza, so they went downtown...

Enough, Dad.

I want to tell him.

It's all you ever talk about.

Don't stop me, I want to tell him.

I hung up the phone and went out on the porch.

I look up and can't believe my eyes.

The sky was...

as if it was going to rain in the middle of summer.

And when I was standing there on the porch...

I heard the explosion.

I immediately knew.

I don't know how, but I knew.

They sat close to the entrance.

The suicide bomber did it right at the entrance.

They didn't have a chance.

The terrorist who planned the attack, Samir Bargouti, is 34 years old.

He's celebrating his release from prison,

dancing on my family's grave.

He's somewhere having a party and I'm here...

Dorit...

was only 12 years old.

I'm sorry.

Look.

Look.

It was a lovely event.

No?

It was so funny when you told them to walk the dogs.

They were in shock.

Lali, why are you ignoring me?

Because you're not here.

Is that why you turn around when you change your top?

Of course I'm here.

You're not. You died.

Nope.

I'm here with you.

Forever.

Stop.

But... -Stop!

Lali...

You know what? I believe you.

You're here?

Yes.

Really?

Yes.

Lali, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

If you're here, stop me.

Stop it.

What are you doing?

If you're here, stop me.

Enough.

Stop, I'm begging you.

Stop.

Then stop me.

Come here and hug me.

Throw these pills out of my hand.

Now.

If you were here, you'd protect me.

You'd stop me, you'd help me.

Yael, stop it.

I'm begging you.

Please.

Please, stop.

Please.
