Thanks, bro.

FAUDA

[ambient sounds of countryside]

[Doron] After Eli died,

they took me to this village, and…

they tied me up in a room there.

[reflective music plays]

And I had time to think…

and suddenly it all made sense.

It happened.

What?

I remembered everything.

All those hours I lost…

All the pieces fit together.

The phone call from Eli…

the drive…

the party.

The girl I couldn't save.

Hagit's house.

And then I got it.

Eli died two years ago.

Now he's just physically left us.

I've let him go.

[Gabi] You have to help me understand something,

because this just doesn't add up.

I have to figure out what makes someone like you,

a high-middle class,

catholic, French woman,

go and carry out a suicide bombing in Israel.

After my husband died, I--

I've heard enough about your husband.

I'm talking about you.

Little, blonde Anne Zeytoun,

who wakes up in the morning,

puts on herself 10 kilograms of explosives…

and then plans to murder…

innocent Israeli civilians.

My mission was to kill your agent, Amir.

I mean, whatever his name is.

And he's not innocent.

And your friends, what exactly are they planning?

I don't know.

You know perfectly well

they're on their way to Israel to pull this attack.

Doesn't it seem a bit twisted to you?

There is no "uninvolved" in a conflict like this.

You said that about the Palestinians.

Why are you always surprised when it's directed to your side?

Where do you get this sense of justice?

Beautiful. So you agree with it?

I didn't say that, I'm just saying you do the same things.

And no, I don't identify

with the killing innocents

from both sides.

Then prove it.

Because very soon…

women…

and children…

who did absolutely nothing to anyone…

are going to be slaughtered, screaming, crying.

You have an option to prevent it.

If your friends will succeed with this attack…

you'll be in jail 'til the day you die.

No one will rescue you.

Hamas won't make a deal in order to release you.

You're nothing for them.

You have an ace up your sleeve.

Play it now.

What is the plan?

Where is it going to happen?

I don't know.

[prayer over loudspeaker]

EAST JERUSALEM

It's Gabi.

Gabi, is she talking?

-They knew everything. -What do you mean?

Her mission was to kill you.

She knows you're connected to her husband's killing.

-How? -Doron, they're not stupid.

After Eli was caught, they figured it out.

Anyone who was involved deserves to die as far as she's concerned.

Let's go through this.

Before Eli was exposed, you two were in on the plan, right?

More or less.

Meaning their original plan was the Kotel.

It fits what we were training for, but Saeed must have changed the target.

Probably.

Either way, security is tight. We're ready for anything at the Kotel.

Do you believe Anne knows nothing?

I have no idea, I can't read these Europeans.

One look at a Palestinian, and I know if he's guilty or not.

-What is she looking for here? -Revenge. Didn't she tell you?

Does she even realize what her husband did?

More or less.

What do you mean?

-She doesn't know? -He definitely didn't tell her.

Alright. Doron, come to the facility, I need you here.

Okay.

I have to go.

It's not over yet?

-Bye. -Bye.

[phone rings]

-Yes. -[Gabi] Dana, I need something, urgently.

-What? -The recording of Maher's testimony.

No problem, I'll notify the archives.

The French woman started singing?

She'll sing in six languages soon, don't worry.

-Send it to me as fast as possible. -Okay.

Any news?

Not yet.

I really don't know what I was thinking.

Maybe I thought that recruiting Maher would somehow make up for…

Make up for what?

Our failure.

How they put us to sleep like that.

I can't shake it.

I, more than anyone, should have seen it.

Dana, an entire country didn't see it.

The entire country isn't me.

It's not us.

They absolutely fucked us.

Do you think you're the only one feeling this failure and guilt shit?

All of us are carrying that. It's in the air we breathe since then.

Self-pity is not a plan of action.

You need to put all of that aside, and focus on the here and now.

Here and now.

Exactly.

I don't think I can do that, Naama.

What kind of person recruits the man who murdered her friend's family?

What a mistake.

I should have stopped trying to prove myself to the world.

Just because I felt guilty and had some shrapnel in my skull?

Are you done?

I trust you.

I trusted you when you recruited Maher, when you recruited those three madmen…

even when you lied to me about Maher's death.

You knew?

What do you think?

That I'm in this chair because of my nice, sad eyes?

Dana, I know everything.

That's my job.

And when an agent of mine lies…

I can smell it from a mile away.

Why didn't you say?

Because officially, I can't cooperate with that kind of thing.

But trust me, if it were me, that's exactly what I would have done.

You wanted to save lives.

The rest isn't relevant.

Pull yourself together. While you're feeling sorry for yourself,

there's a lot of shit out there to take care of.

Got it?

Got it.

What's up?

How's it going?

Can you believe we lost him?

What? Say something.

What can I say?

What happened there, what…? How did it happen?

It's not over yet, man.

Once it's over, we'll talk about everything.

Alright?

Sure, yeah.

How was it in prison?

Forget it, doesn't matter.

It's in the past.

Are we good?

Why not?

Everything that happened…

What happened?

[reflective music plays quietly]

It's all good.

-All checked? -Everything is ready.

We haven't heard from Anne.

I know.

Do you think the Israelis arrested her?

It's a possibility we've prepared for.

Her mission was to kill the traitor.

But we knew it was a risk.

What if she talks?

I trust her.

She has proven herself.

Even if she failed the mission, I'm sure that…

-that she's committed like all of us. -I hope so.

Go to sleep.

We have a big day tomorrow.

[tense music plays]

Saeed, you don't have to come with us.

It's dangerous, and you're too important.

I want to be there.

I want to be a part of our victory.

Do you understand?

You're sure?

Go to sleep.

Okay.

[Interrogator] Tell me, what were you doing on October 7th?

[Maher] I was a Company Commander in the Central Division.

Our mission was to enter the nearby kibbutz.

I entered with my fighters…

we overtook the guards at the entrance.

And then we went through the houses and…

took captive whoever we could.

-And the ones you didn't? -We killed.

How many people did you kill there in total?

I don't know exactly.

About twenty.

There were a few more we took captive. And some died on the way.

How many of them did you kill yourself?

Soldiers or civilians?

I'm talking about civilians, elderly people, women, children.

Five.

Tell me about them.

In the first house, the husband came at us with a knife, so I shot him.

[tense music plays]

In the… fourth house, I think, I killed the eldest son.

He tried to run away and… I had to stop him.

How old was he?

Fourteen, fifteen.

Continue.

In the last house, the husband was a soldier.

He wasn't home.

The woman hid in the safe room with the children, and…

another Bedouin man.

We asked them to come out, but they refused.

In the end, we managed to open the door,

but the mother managed to escape with the children through the window.

We caught them outside. She fought. Stabbed one of my soldiers.

Go on.

One of the men killed the children.

And you, what did you do?

I took the woman to the room.

And what did you do to her there?

I touched her.

You only touched her? Or did you have sex with her too?

You raped her. Didn't you?

You monster.

After you finished, what did you do with her?

I killed her.

Drink.

This was Ali's wife.

His real name was Eli.

Her name was Hagit.

I know there's no way you support this.

So I'm asking you, I'm begging you. If you have any kind of information…

that can help us…

prevent this awful plan of Saeed, please, do speak.

Please.

Umm.

When… when we escaped the camp,

we were in this village,

and Saeed was working on plans,

and I saw pictures of it.

-Pictures of what? -A cemetery.

[tense music plays]

What cemetery?

Saeed talked about…

That day you have, when you remember your dead.

When you… when you stand to honor them.

And he talked about it with envy.

He said the Jews honor them,

as if they were still alive.

Thank you.

So?

It's Remembrance Day.

[tense music swells]

REMEMBRANCE DAY FOR FALLEN SOLDIERS AND VICTIMS OF ACTS OF TERRORISM

[Naama] In a few hours, hundreds of thousands of civilians

are expected to visit the military cemeteries and plots

around the country.

Children, elderly people, families and individuals

will come to pay their respects to those who sacrificed their lives for us.

As of now, there is an immediate alert

of a planned attack on one of these targets today.

We assume that the attackers have marked the central places.

But we're taking no risks,

and forces are deployed on full alert at all cemeteries.

Anyone who is armed, is out there.

We don't know the exact target, but we can't cancel the ceremonies.

Closing the cemeteries would be surrender.

It's a sacred day for all of us.

Our enemies know that, and they'll try to desecrate it.

We will not let that happen.

Get to work.

Nesher to Beer Sheva Two, sniper force is deployed.

Okay.

I'll pass that on.

Naama.

Not sure it's relevant, but we got a call

-from a taxi station in Jerusalem. -Go on.

They say that an hour ago,

two suspicious looking Europeans

booked a ride to Kiryat Shaul Cemetery in Tel Aviv.

Four others, matching the same description,

booked rides to the cemeteries in Hod HaSharon and Holon.

He tried to understand why they want to go there, but they were evasive.

Some of the drivers already reported dropping them off.

It's them, Naama.

It's them. Let me.

It's an indicator. They made a mistake leaving from the same station.

Run a search on taxis from Jerusalem. Search for more targets.

We have to update the forces in Kiryat Shaul, Hod HaSharon and Holon.

And send backup forces to those cemeteries.

[tense music plays]

They left an hour and a half ago. They're probably there.

-Gabi, is this definite, is it them? -Yes.

We think there are several groups headed for other places.

We're sending backup.

Too late to evacuate,

-they could be inside already. -Roger.

Attention, Gordon stations. We suspect they are already here.

Eyes open.

[music intensifies]

Good to have you here.

[tense music subsides]

-We're supposed to just stand around? -Let's split up.

Go inside.

Go to the graves, and to the inner parking lot.

-Look for Europeans in their thirties. -Got it. Let's go.

[dramatic music rises]

Let's go from here.

[Speaker] Dear audience, in a few minutes, a siren will be heard,

after which the Remembrance Day ceremony will begin.

[Doron] Dana, they're here. I recognize two from the camp.

Steve.

On your one o'clock, two suspects next to the flower stand.

[Steve] I see them.

[Dana] Doron, is this a positive ID?

[Doron] One hundred percent.

They'll wait for the siren.

Dana, we need to act now.

[Steve] I don't have a clear shot. Too many civilians.

Steve, Doron, close in on them as much as possible. Stay alert.

There are likely others.

[siren rings out]

[tense music rises]

[Doron] Everyone, down!

[crowd screams in panic]

[Kid] Run!

[Dana] They're inside! Open the gates! Evacuate civilians!

-[Soldier 1] Terrorists in the crowd. -[Soldier 2] Shots fired.

-We're extracting the entourage. -[Steve] Dana!

Danino and I are in pursuit, he's on his way down!

[Danino] Move! There he is!

[Soldier] Move!

-Over here, Dana! -Doron!

Cover me!

To your left!

Two on the right!

[Soldier] They're coming from the gate, I'll try to stop them.

-Cover me. -Go.

[music quietens]

[gunshots ring out nearby]

[Man] We need back-up at the main gate! They keep on coming!

[tense music rises]

Stay there! Everybody on the ground!

Dana, stop them there! It's a trap!

[Kid] To the entrance!

[Doron] Clear everyone out! They shouldn't run around!

Stop them running, they're shooting!

Doron!

Move!

Are you alright? Come on.

Saeed!

Saeed!

Stop!

Stop!

It's Hatib! Let's go this way.

[music intensifies further]

Saeed!

Saeed!

[Saeed wheezes in pain]

Amir…

This is for Ali and his family.

What's he doing?

This is for October 7th.

[tense music rises to crescendo]

It's th'ar.

[Guard] Holon is clear. Seven injured. Five terrorists neutralized.

Four terrorists neutralized in Hadera. Ten killed.

In Kfar Saba the incident has ended. Six terrorists neutralized.

Additional scans are being carried out.

-[police sirens ring out] -[emotive music plays]

Dana.

Dana, can you hear me?

Dana, I need a status update now.

The incident is over. There are casualties.

Around 15 terrorists neutralized.

I'm too old for this.

[music fades]

[ambience of city]

May I?

Mm hmm.

How are you?

Good, I guess.

I just wanna go back home.

Wanted to talk about something?

I just wanted to see that you're okay.

And to say thank you.

For what?

For making the right decision.

You saved many lives.

And mine too.

You're welcome.

Can I ask you something? Can you be honest?

Yeah. I'll try.

Are you the one who killed Maher?

I knew it.

I guess that's why you were nice to me, offered me a way out?

Because you felt…

guilty?

Guilty? No.

No?

So why?

I felt sorry for you.

You seemed like a good person who just got lost.

And I know how hard it is to lose family.

It can make you do crazy things.

Murdering, revenge, that sort of thing?

So I guess I should be sorry for you too.

Because you're still in it, and you don't even see it.

-It's not the same. -It is.

When I was in the car, the only reason I didn't push the button…

was because of a little girl next to us. She was…

looking at me, and…

and I told you in the camp,

my only fear is to do something I cannot justify,

and innocent people, they shouldn't…

pay for our sins. Do you agree on that?

Yeah.

So if you're so grateful for my decisions, like you said…

can you stop?

I'll do my best.

I hope so.

[Officer] Ma'am, we need to go back.

[Rabbi] O God, full of compassion,

who dwells on high,

grant true rest

upon the wings of the Shechinah

in the exalted spheres of the holy and pure

who shine as the resplendence of the firmament to the soul

of Eliyahu, son of Shalom and Geula,

who has gone to his heavenly world,

for the sake

of Eliyahu, son of Shalom and Geula,

for charity has been donated in remembrance of his soul.

Therefore, may the All-Merciful One

shelter him with the cover of His wings forever,

and bind his soul in the bond of life.

The Lord is his heritage,

may he rest in his resting-place in peace

and let us say. Amen…

Thank God.

-Amen. -Come here.

Thank God.

Congrats.

May the great name of God be exalted and sanctified,

throughout the world, which He has created according to His will.

In your lifetime and in the lifetime of the entire household of Israel.

May His great name be blessed, forever and ever.

Blessed, praised, glorified, exalted,

honored, elevated,

and lauded be the name of the Holy One.

Blessed is He above and beyond any blessings and hymns,

Praises and consolations which are uttered and say Amen.

May there be abundant peace from heaven

and life, upon us and upon all Israel and say, Amen.

[somber music rises]

He who makes peace in His high holy places…

may He bring peace upon us, and upon all Israel, and say Amen.

Amen.
