Frankfurt, Germany

It's a done deal.

They're coming home.

Abandoned airport, Damascus, Syria

Good morning, everyone.

I have a brief announcement after which there will be no Q&A.

A few moments ago a Red Cross airplane

carrying the Israeli prisoners of war has landed.

The Prime Minister is on her way to greet them,

then they will be united with their families.

I ask that you kindly respect their privacy

in the following days and weeks.

Thank you very much.

Come here, come here!

This is your son.

Nice to meet you.

I'm not the same.

I'm sorry.

I'm not exactly the same either.

He irritates me.

Sometimes I want to scream, "What are you doing in my house?"

I have to tell him.

I have to!

Are you crazy? I can't go on like this for days!

Promise me we'll always be together.

What's that?

In your sleep.

You scream.

You hit.

Don't talk to me, you don't exist.

Yes I do.

God, full of mercy,

Who dwells on high

Grant perfect rest on the wings of Your Divine Presence

In the lofty heights of the holy and pure...

They're talking.

They've been talking for hours.

Zoom in on Uri's hand.

His finger. Quickly!

Uri.

Are you hiding anything from me?

What do you want from me?

I'm trying to understand what happened to Amiel

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

What are you accusing me of?

Not knowing?

Please, no.

Harder!

I don't know.

Really.

They're hiding something from us.

Do you remember everything we discussed?

This is a bad idea, what are we doing here?

We're only here to find out.

You're here for the envelope, right?

Help me.

Help me.

He's...

alive?

Then where is he?

Prisoners of War

Noni, are you coming?

C'mon, you don't need all that stuff.

There'll be plenty of toys there.

Let's try it on, turn around.

Is it too heavy? -No, it's okay.

Are you nervous? -Sure, but it's natural,

you'd be nervous too if you were starting first grade.

You're right.

You know, Mom's very excited too. -Dad! We talked about this.

She'll cry in front of of all the other kids.

She promised not to.

But it's up to you.

Let's go. We don't want to be late.

Go on...

This is exactly why she can't come with us.

Good luck, my sweet big boy.

Mom and I will pick you up after school

and we'll go celebrate, okay?

Okay, but when you come, you stay in the car.

Okay, I promise.

Bye.

You okay?

Hello, first graders, welcome.

How are you this morning? -Fine.

We'll take turns

and everyone will tell us their name, how old they are

and what they want to be when they grow up.

Let's start with you.

I'm Mika, I'm 6 and a half

and when I grow up I'll be a fashion designer.

I'm Alon Sade, 6 and three-quarters,

when I grow up I want to be a policeman, a detective and a judge.

I'm Asaf, I'm 6 and a half,

when I grow up, I want to be a businessman.

Noni, it's your turn.

My name is Noni, I'm 6 years old,

today.

And when I grow up, I want to be a super hero.

Happy birthday, Noni, good for you.

Would you like to say something?

I'm Maya, I'm 6 and a half

and when I grow up I want to be...

Hey, where are you going?

Noni.

Noni.

Come here.

Everyone, up against the wall. Now!

Now!

Look only at me, Noni, okay?

Only at me.

Everything will be alright.

Everything will be alright.

Shhh...

Look only at me, everything will be alright.

Let go of me!

Let go!

Get your gear on, we've got 5 minutes!

The government didn't approve the prisoner exchange deal.

How much time do we have?

3 minutes. -Try to make contact. Ask for more time.

We tried, they disconnected the lines.

Then try again!

Are your men ready?

Excuse me... -Sorry, you can't go in.

Let me go, my son... -You can't...

My son and husband are in there... -You can't go in.

Sorry, she broke through the barrier.

You can't go in. -I have to be with them, please.

I'm sorry, she broke through.

Take her back to where the parents are.

I have to be with my family. Please.

We're doing everything possible to get them out,

I promise you.

What's your name?

Atar Shorrer.

Do you have kids?

My son, Noni...

Today is his birthday.

He's only six years old.

Please, please save them.

I'm begging you, please.

Give her something to drink and somewhere to sit down.

How much time?

Abdullah?

Yes.

Pick one.

You.

Get up.

Noni, I have to go.

No, Daddy, don't go, stay here.

I have to.

But everything will be alright.

I love you, my son, I love you.

You're my hero.

Don't worry.

Take care of Mommy, okay?

Okay?

Come on, get up!

No, Daddy, don't go.

Come on.

Hold your fire! He's a hostage!

This is a special news bulletin

following the prisoner exchange deal underway.

A short time ago, the dramatic news

was given to the families of the POWs.

Our military correspondent reports that Defense Ministry officials

called the families of Nimrode Klein,

Uri Zach and Amiel Ben Horin

and informed them that their sons are returning to Israel.

Among the thousands of terrorists that Israel will release

is Abdullah Bin Rashid

who was involved in the bloody attack at a school in Metula

23 years ago

in which 15 hostages were murdered.

Bin Rashid, who never expressed remorse for his actions,

is considered one of the most important terrorists caught alive

and was a significant bargaining chip for Israel.

Previous prisoner exchange deals were cancelled at the last moment

following the refusal of prime ministers to release Bin Rashid.

Tonight, a senior government official who opposes the deal states

that Rashid is dangerous

and it is only a matter of time until he engages in terrorism again.

Allah is great.

Allah is great.

Allah is great.

Praised be Allah and exalted...

Sorry.

I didn't mean to disturb you,

I thought you were done.

Peace and the mercy of Allah be upon you...

Now I'm done.

How's your father?

He asked me to get you.

He wants you to come downstairs to meet...

He's here. Are you coming?

Hello, Abdullah.

This is my son.

Go in peace, son.

Yusuf, come. I'm glad you came.

Peace be with you, my brother.

Amiel Ben Horin.

No, Abdullah, this is Yusuf.

It is the new name the Imam chose for him. Yusuf.

Yusuf.

Yusuf is one of ours now.

He proved his loyalty more than once,

he even saved Sheikh Kasab from an assassination attempt.

I want you to be good friends.

One day soon, you'll both lead the organization.

Leila is making tea in the kitchen. I'll take you there.

I can still walk by myself.

He's very sick.

He's finished, his time is near.

Father.

Father.

Enough... Be strong.

Don't cry.

He's with Allah now.

You'll never be able to work in the field.

I heard you dragging your feet all the way from the elevator.

You're fooling yourself if you think you'd be happier elsewhere.

Is that your way of asking me to stay?

You're the greatest, Haim.

We're not done with the investigation yet.

We don't know what they're hiding. -He's on to me, Haim. It's over.

He knows who I am and what I am.

Besides, I don't...

I don't want to do this anymore.

But you're the best at what you do.

Even if I wanted to help you, and I don't,

there's no way he'll ever want to talk to me again.

I betrayed his trust, I hurt him. It's over.

What? Who is it?

Uri?

Yes, of course.

Today?

Yes...

Fine.

Well?

He asked to meet.

Where are you?

This is the 10th message I've left you.

You said you needed some time to think, but enough is enough.

You're avoiding me.

I thought of something we could do.

I called Iris.

I'm going to see them today and you're coming along, we'll explain everything.

Everything.

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

I...

I'm still here. -Hi.

Nothing's changed since I left. -As a matter of fact, it has.

Excited?

Yes.

I asked Yaki to bring Asaf over later,

so he won't have to see me packing.

But I'm still a little...

You consulted with psychologists,

you're doing it right, it'll be okay.

You're right. -Everything will be alright.

Aside from us never having a bed.

I don't care. As long as we're together.

You sure we need to use the clipper? It's short enough.

Bend over.

Not too short, Dana.

Of course not.

Layer it nice in the back, okay?

That's exactly what I'm doing.

Shorter on the sides

but longer on top. Understand?

Of course I understand.

Daphna, he'll be back.

Don't be silly, it's unnecessary.

You're sweet.

Put a bag over the sink so his hair doesn't clog the drain.

I already did.

It's just a phase...

Nimrode just needed some space, that's all.

Daphna, all his things are here.

He's coming back.

Thanks for your concern. Bye, sweetie.

What did she want?

I bought two tickets for the Nurit Galron concert for Dad and me.

Didn't he suffer enough in captivity?

Daphna offered to come with me in case Dad doesn't come back.

You, too?

He's coming back.

Hey.

I bought us two tickets to a Nurit Galron concert,

before you...

A while ago.

It was supposed to be a surprise.

Remember how we used to sing her songs all the time?

I thought it'd be nice if we went together.

Anyway, I think this has gone far enough.

You want me to go there and bring him back myself?

Stop worrying.

I left him a message.

Everything's fine.

Well?

Hello?

How are you, Uri?

You tried him?

Yes, I do know where he is.

This is great!

C'mon, let's go home, my balls are killing me.

Hi.

How did you know where to find me? -I spoke to Talya.

Hey...

Uri, what's up?

It's been such a long time. Good to see you.

Funny, huh?

Come on in, have a bite to eat, relax.

Come on.

Give us a minute. We'll be right in.

Okay.

Talya says you've been sleeping on Oren's sofa for the past week.

I tried reaching you...

several times.

I meant to tell you.

I needed some time to think.

You can't ignore it. We have to do something about it.

What can we do? Don't be ridiculous.

We can't leave him there.

We have to tell someone, the Mossad, the Army, I don't know.

Maybe Haim.

He's the only one we know in the system,

I called Iris.

We're going today. -Just because he's alive doesn't mean we have to save him.

What? What are you talking about?

Why don't you let it go, Uri?

It's over. Enough.

Over?

We're here now and we're free. -How can you say that?

What do we know, Uri? Maybe he's...

Why didn't he tell us he's alive?

I don't know.

Because he couldn't, because he's rotting in some hole in the ground.

Maybe,

but there were plenty of cases where people sold out their country,

their friends, changed sides for all sorts of reasons.

You're talking about Ami.

You know what he went through, what we went through!

Exactly.

What if he's been turned?

What if he sold us out?

If he wanted us to know he's alive, we'd know.

Let it go, Uri.

Let's live our own lives.

We're finally back. Let's leave it behind us.

How?

Asaf honey...

Leave him alone.

Let him go.

He's upset. He'll get over it, I'll talk to him.

And you?

Since when do you have a beard?

More coffee, Dad?

No, thank you.

Abdullah,

tell us the story again.

Not today, we're mourning our brother Jamal.

May Allah have mercy on him and let him into Paradise. -God willing.

Islam prohibits wallowing in grief, externalizing sorrow and pain.

We're here to celebrate Jamal's life,

his life in Paradise.

It was Sunday morning.

We crossed the border the night before, in Al-Ajar,

through a tunnel used mostly by drug traffickers.

We hid in the Ayun River all night.

In the morning...

Akel picked us up in a VW van with tinted windows.

Akel was so nervous, he ranted like a lunatic all morning.

When we got to the back gate of the school, Akel was ready to faint.

He was sweating like crazy.

The guard knocked on the window, Akel opened...

The guard said:

"Hello, how can I help you?"

Akel began to stutter as if he had a speech impediment.

You shouldn't have left while he was talking.

You're being disrespectful.

To Abdullah?

What?

You're also impressed by him?

You think he's a hero, too?

Even Jamal told you to watch out for him.

He doesn't trust you as it is. -I don't care.

I don't trust him either.

But his loyalty isn't in doubt. -And mine is?

After everything I've done?

I see him whispering with people from the organization all the time...

He talks to my father... -Let him talk. I can talk too.

Yusuf.

Jamal is gone...

You...

It's okay,

hold hands.

As long as eventually you'll give me grandchildren

and they'll stop gossiping about me behind my back.

Dad, stop it.

If you don't give me grandchildren,

at least tell me where the bathroom is.

Hello. -Hello.

I'd like to adopt a dog, is this the shelter?

Yes.

What kind of dog?

The oldest, ugliest mutt you've got.

I'm serious.

If possible with three legs, maybe one eye,

rotten teeth and smelly.

Okay, you've reached the right place. That's our specialty.

So I've heard.

May I ask why you want such a dog?

So he feels indebted to me for saving his life.

My last dog left me for my ex-girlfriend.

And... I was really offended by it.

We stood on either side of the room, we both called his name

and without a second thought he just...

went with her. Didn't even bother to turn around.

I was the one who raised him all his life.

She never took him out for a walk.

I did everything.

He...

broke my heart.

Sad story.

That's why my next dog

has to be so surprised that I adopted him,

he'll have no choice but to be loyal to me.

The good news is that...

all the dogs you have fit the criteria.

The disc has been compromised.

Zach and Klein heard it, who knows who else.

How the hell did this happen?

The widow gave it to them.

He hid it at home instead of at the office.

Idiot.

You're at his memorial.

Anyway, we have to speed things up.

Everything's almost ready, it's a matter of weeks.

She was very clear, Ze'ev.

Just tell her what I said.

Operation Judah died along with Atar.

But... -Officially.

No official channels on this one. She doesn't want any inquiries.

If anything happens, she knows nothing.

Harder, you dog!

Again and harder, you dog!

Please, no...

Harder, you son of a bitch!

Help me.

Help me.

Why didn't you tell us from the start?

Because we were scared.

Nimrode and I...

When it happened...

We...

We... -Because of me.

I thought I killed Amiel.

And now you find out that he's alive.

You should've told us from the start.

What do you expect me to do?

Get him out of there.

I'm a psychiatrist, not a guerilla fighter.

Look, we didn't come to you because we like you...

Thank you.

But you're the only person we know in the system.

Play the recording for someone.

Maybe the IDF can...

You have to talk to the Prime Minister and the Chief of Staff.

Hold on, I'll call them right away.

I'll call a press conference, I'll go public with it

if you don't... -What do you think?

I think it's strange that Atar Shorrer knew that Amiel is alive

and didn't tell anyone.

Maybe he had a reason to hide the information.

Maybe he didn't want anyone to find out.

Or maybe he's not alive.

As long as we don't know the reason,

we shouldn't talk about this or tell this to anyone.

What? -Look, if he's really alive...

He's alive.

If he's alive... -Not "if." He's alive.

This recording doesn't prove anything.

He could've died a moment later.

He could've died a week later, a month later.

I saw him.

What?

I saw him.

I think I did, I'm not sure.

A few years later.

Go wash your face.

I told you a thousand times...

don't ever leave this room!

All these years...

You never said anything.

I thought I imagined it.

I...

Until we heard the recording, I didn't think it was possible.

And now you're sure?

The first thing we have to do

is find out if he's dead or alive.

How?

Abu Kabir Forensic Institute.

Yes.

If he's alive, someone here made sure that nobody thinks so.

We'll start there. Meanwhile, don't say anything to anyone.

Are you okay?

Yes.

I'm just organizing his things.

Want some help? -No.

I want to do it by myself.

Yes? -Where are you?

I'll be right there, I got held up.

Are you okay?

I've been sitting in the car for three hours.

Want me to come get you?

No, of course not. I'll be right there.

I'm just... -Nurit, but...

Are you sure about...? -Absolutely.

And you?

With all my heart.

Everything alright?

Yeah.

Thanks for coming.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you before.

You going home now?

I don't know.

Uri.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Let's go.

Hey, Daphna... Are you...

Do you want to...

Are you still free... Want to go to the concert with me?

Daphna, I'll call you right back.

Hi.

Hey. How was it?

Good.

The time I spent on my own...

It calmed me...

I think.

I barely have nightmares anymore...

Great.

I'm glad you're here.

Are you going out?

Today is the concert...

but we... don't have to go, if you don't want to.

It's about to start anyway...

We could stay home and talk.

If you...

I'm not staying.

I...

I came to get the rest of my stuff.

I'm sorry, I...

need more time.

I...

More time?

Yes. I'm sorry. I...

No. Don't be. It's fine.

I...

I'm late.

I'm late.

And now to the prisoner exchange deal, terrorist Abdullah Bin Rashid,

released yesterday as part of the deal, was given a festive welcome in Syria tonight.

Masses awaited his arrival including Palestinian officials.

Turning to other matters...

Hey.

Noni, my love.

How was your day?

It was okay.

Wonderful.

I met a girl today.

Next time on Prisoners of War

Any news?

Stop calling every two hours, these things take time.

But he doesn't have time.

I want to take a look at Amiel Ben Horin's autopsy report.

Don't play Clouseau with me.

I was in the neighborhood, so...

I killed him.

I don't even know you. -What do you want to know?

Everything.

Too bad we don't have a...

Jew, for instance.

If, hypothetically, someone wanted to fake the identification of a body...

Why would anyone want to do that?

Good question.

We have to work together.

You took the words out of my mouth, Amiel.

My name is Yusuf.
