Previously on PRISONERS OF WAR
What do you know about Dr. Kaplan?
We worked together some times.
He operates in the gray areas of my profession.
All the years I waited, I never went out with anybody else.
It didn't even cross my mind.
You should have seen yourself yesterday.
Hello, Micaela.
I was wondering how long it would take you to find me.
Three, two, one.
I told you,
I don't miss it,
I have a plan.
Ze'ev,
Haim wants you to know it's important you guys talk as soon as possible.
Bring her in.
11 MONTHS LATER
Yinon, come.
They need you in Glilot.
- But we're in the middle... - No arguments. Let's go, go with him.
PRISONERS OF WAR
Episode 6 - "Beaches"
Haim, do you want some coffee?
Haim.
What?
Do you want coffee or something to drink?
You've been hours pouring over those papers.
No.
"But thanks, Mika, for helping me at this hour of the night"
"even though you no longer work for me."
Tell me,
did you ever hear about "Operation Yehuda"?
Yehuda?
No, I don't think so. Doesn't sound familiar.
- Why do you ask? - You know what?
Instant with two sugars.
Where are you? You were supposed to be here an hour ago.
What?
Now?
Where?
Yes, I see it.
I'm coming.
- Haim? - I have to go.
Gather up the papers and close the door, yes?
What about the coffee?
What can I get you?
I'll have coffee with cream
and that's it for now. Maybe I'll have something later on.
I'd like a vegetarian burger with lots of mayonnaise on a sesame bun.
I'm debating between the onion rings and the french fries.
Would you share some onion rings with me?
- Yes. - Very well then. Onion rings...
french fries...
Large fries... and small fries for me, and large onion rings for both of us.
And cola with lots of ice and lemon, and a sherbet,
and then cheesecake, for later.
Thanks.
What? I told you I'm starving.
What?
No, nothing. Nothing.
You get wrinkles around your eyes when you smile.
- Thanks. - No, no, I don't mean it as...
I know. It's okay. I doesn't bother me,
it means I'm maturing.
- You mean it? - Yes.
Except for the subject of the dance,
the body can no longer do what it used to.
And all those nineteen-year-olds behind me,
they're so talented it breaks my heart.
But you realized your dream.
After the army they took me in at the Bat Sheva ensemble
and from there I moved to the company and became a ballerina.
Very successful, to be honest.
Brilliant. Very good.
I remember when you used to practice.
When you were...
In general, all I did was my craft.
Then I got a scholarship and danced in Paris for a few years.
I came back home and kept on dancing here,
and then I had knee surgery and the doctors said I could not dance anymore,
and I showed them I could, and kept on dancing...
"But the ballerina needs to know when it's time to step off the stage."
That's what Nikolai, the legendary master, used to say.
So, a few years ago, I founded my own dance company.
And that's it, everything I've been doing during the last 17 years.
Thanks.
Very good.
Anything else I can get you?
More mayonnaise, perhaps?
Bring me the jar and I'll fix it the way I like it, yes?
No problem.
What? Thanks.
What?
You very much look like somebody I once loved.
As I remember her...
- Thanks. - You're welcome.
Are you okay?
Yes, yes, I'm...
I'm thrilled.
Something familiar, at last.
At last, something like in the old times.
Take this. If Paradise tastes like this...
If you just tell what it is you want to know...
He'll be here right away. I'll let him explain..
I know nothing.
You don't know why you followed me here?
I didn't even know I had followed you here.
Me? Followed you? Here?
Isn't this a little dramatic, calling me in the middle of the night?
You wanted to talk, right? Let's talk.
Sit down.
Are you okay?
Of course, she's fine.
Only she refused to answer my question regarding
what she is doing here, in the middle of the night.
What place is this?
I thought this base was shut down for several years now.
That's right, it's closed.
From time to time the Ministry lets me use it for some exercises.
- What exercises? - It has nothing to do with you, Haim.
You and Atar Schurer used to get together once a week before his accident.
What does it have to do with Atar Schurer?
What?
You want me to help without knowing first what we are talking about?
Well, I see this a waste of time.
"Operation Yehuda."
What did you say?
"Operation Yehuda", what is it about?
Haim, enough of your bullshit,
I have no idea what you're talking about and I'm busy here.
Tell me then why you and Atar Schurer used to meet once a week.
- I can't. Doctor-patient privilege. - Come now, please, Ze'ev,
- I know he was not a patient of yours. - There's something called immunity.
You know what? I'll go with this to see Yaron early in the morning,
and maybe he'll tell me what the deal was between you and Atar Schurer.
If somebody finds out
you'll ruin my career and his good name,
Don't you understand?
Pain medication?
It was my mistake.
He had back surgery years ago.
He couldn't work, but he was expected to go to the Ministry all the same.
I prescribed it,
he wanted more,
and yet more still.
He became addicted.
Satisfied?
What does this have to do with your investigation?
Nothing.
We are on the wrong track.
I'm sorry to have dragged you here, Haim.
No, no, I am sorry to have bothered you. It was highly unprofessional of me.
What do you say?
Smile to the liar, wave goodbye to the liar and let's get out of here.
Look up.
Excellent.
Now follow my finger.
Very well.
Ze'ev,
can I speak to you a second? I need to show you something.
What about?
I thought you might want to see this.
It's his wallet.
What's the problem? They're his parents.
What about this?
Ze'ev, I...
Concentrate on your work.
- Is he all right? - Physically he's fine...
That's all you need to worry about.
I knew they would free up Rashid, I knew it.
You knew. That's why you chose Yinon. That's irresponsible.
Yinon has the highest qualifications in the group.
Highest qualifications. Bullshit!
You knew he would never turn it down.
Abdallah killed his father. What did you...?
I can't believe it.
You did this.
You persuaded the Prime Minister to let him go.
The Prime Minister wanted a deal.
She was worried letting Rashid out would strengthen the other side.
- And you convinced her otherwise. - I told the Primer Minister
we should do everything that was necessary to get our boys back.
Everything!
I still think is necessary for us to do everything.
There's still one left behind.
You are toying with Yinon's life.
Because you feel guilty Ben-Horin is still trapped over there.
No action on my part is personal.
He's a time bomb, Atar.
He's unstable.
Peace be with you and God's mercy.
What are you doing?
What? I have this song running around in my head.
Tell me, how does it go, exactly?
I don't know...
"And the man, and the man"
"he too can follow sometimes..."
Enough!
What can I do? I told you. It's stuck in my head.
You know, the jailer in Israel use to sing that song to us,
he would sing it to us everyday.
"Also the seagulls, like the shore, like the wind..."
That's enough. Come. Let's go.
Yussuf.
Can I go with you?
No, you should go home and study.
I'll study later.
Let him come, what do you care?
He must go home and study.
Go, I'll join you right away.
I see we have some new faces today.
I'm Ima.
That's my name.
Talia.
Are you new to yoga?
Yes.
No.
I used to practice years ago.
The body remembers.
OK.
Don't you want to come closer?
We don't bite the new faces.
The new faces will lie here, on purpose, so the old faces don't bother them.
OK.
All right. Let's begin by standing.
Let's close the bandha.
Did you tell Talia what we had?
Almost, once... to tell you the truth.
I planned to tell her, but I never did.
When I came back...
what was the point?
Did you tell anybody?
Are you crazy?
Nobody. Ever.
I didn't even tell my psychologist because I was afraid
she would think it was something I invented to attract attention.
Even so, she thinks I lie to her most of the time.
Which is true, I lie to her all of the time.
- Why? - I don't know. It's my personal life. What business is it of hers?
No, no, no. Why didn't you tell anybody?
Nobody.
Neither my parents nor my best friends, nor even my sister.
Or my husband.
Sometimes I was convinced I had invented it all.
You know, only you and I knew...
You were not here...
What was the point?
There was a point. There was...
In the most difficult moments...
When I thought the end was near
I was comforted by the thought that I had loved,
that I would be remembered.
Spiritual growth
is a difficult and challenging journey
from an old universe
to a new universe.
Like the snake that changes its skin and, for a few moments, is blind
you too are blind;
while on your journey to the new path,
allow yourselves to feel like a ship without anchor,
imagine the super you
turning into one at the apex of your body.
And now
each one, in their own time,
can go back to the sitting position.
One day my daughter discovered we had been together in the army.
I don't even know how,
she was so thrilled she insisted I go to her school to speak in front of the class.
And I, of course, refused.
She started to cry and, of course, my husband couldn't understand why I was so reluctant,
So I gave up
and went.
I spoke about you for a whole hour.
It was the only time I almost told about us,
to a bunch of 5th graders.
Finally I answered some questions,
They all clapped, I made a bow, left the class,
run to the school's bathroom, I locked myself up and cried
like a baby.
Why?
Because nobody knew your tragedy was also mine,
you were in chains for me too.
Nobody showed compassion.
Talia was sacred.
Even now.
And I, that missed you no less than her...
You know how many times I sat in front of the television
watching her whining
and wanting to scream to her "Hey, I'm also destroyed, I'm also wasted..."
"He was the love of my life"
"He was going to leave you to be with me"
I didn't even dare whisper for fear somebody would hear me.
So instead of talking I took refuge in my dancing.
There I had freedom.
On the stage, during rehearsals.
Every day.
Every night.
In the beginning I used to spot you among the audience.
Row two, in the center.
In front of me, looking at me.
You were there at every performance.
And after a while, you only came to see me off and on
and then, you stop coming.
I'm sorry I never had the chance to see you dance.
Yes, pity. I was good at it.
This may be something silly,
it's logical you may not want to, so...
don't feel obligated in any way.
What are you talking about?
I'll be hosting a dinner party tomorrow for some friends,
friends of mine and Ron,
I get so bored with these parties,
if you wanted to come, I'm sure they would want to get to know you.
- OK. - Brilliant.
I'm happy you've found me.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
You are very good considering you just started this week.
What are you talking about? I'm blue all over from so many falls.
That's not how I see it.
Maybe I was good then. But now, I am a lazy bum.
Anyway, I'll go take a shower.
Where are you going?
I don't know why I asked you that. It's none of my business.
I'm going home.
Unless you want to go at it again.
No,
but thanks.
May I ask you a question?
How long has it been?
I mean...
When was the last time?
A long, long time ago.
Why, does it show?
A little, I thought... yes.
I hope I met your expectations.
I don't know.
Then when...
will we see each other again?
At yoga.
Can you leave me a cigarette?
Where are they?
Who?
Never mind.
Our parents?
They don't love you enough.
Don't worry. Everything will be alright.
Jatzav Klein.
What fright.
Nothing. Get going.
Where is he?
It's almost impossible to find parking here.
He just went in... He couldn't understand why you weren't here.
You're a bad mother.
Whatever you say.
What's wrong with you? Why are you so radiant?
Radiant, how...?
Where were you? Why are you smiling so?
Dana, what do you want from me?
I'm the same as always.
You had a good one.
I can't believe it, Mom.
Dana, stop with your foolishness; you are not normal.
Who with?
Dana, stop, enough. Not now.
You're some bitch, you know?!
You the biggest bitch in the whole world.
What are you...?
Is it true?
You are the mother of all bitches.
Stop that!
What do you want from me?
Are you looking for a fight?
Now, shut up.
- Are you done? - And?
- They gave me a time two weeks from now. - Jail?
Brilliant.
I'm so happy.
Wow. Good.
We'll go and celebrate with coffee and cake.
Let's go.
- Did you use a condom, at least? - What?
Dana!
Guess what Mom did today.
Just a few seconds longer.
"And also the seagulls, sometimes memories..."
I can't get that song out of my mind. What can I do?
It's been two weeks since I started humming this damn song.
"The home we have always loved..."
I know what the Israelis did to your family.
But, I didn't.
We're both on the same side.
Now.
What about the electrified fence?
We'll go underneath it.
And the mines?
I'll check them out tomorrow.
This is the most sensible spot.
Six soldiers.
They're far apart, in two positions.
It'll take them twenty minutes to get here.
It doesn't leave us much time.
It's alright. I'll have my men ready.
Abdallah.
Oysters.
What oysters?
They are not "seagulls." They're oysters, you fool.
Oysters?
Ah, oysters, I get it.
The plan is good.
Then, what's the problem?
I don't want you to misunderstand me and I don't want to be perceived as too forward.
- He's married to your daughter and I... - Get to the point.
Speak, speak.
I don't think it would be a good idea for him to be there.
It's a stone's throw from the border and the soldiers,
I know everybody trusts him,
but supposing... he wanted to send a message
he wouldn't have any problems doing it from there.
Did he ever give you a reason to doubt his loyalty?
There's something in his behavior,
in the way he addresses me...
Why take the risk?
The whole organization looks up to you, everybody respects you.
Image what would happen if it turns out your son-in-law...
I give you a week,
but if you can't find justification for your doubts...
So, good night.
Hey, wait.
A hug.
I'm so proud of what you did today.
- Brilliant. - I'm very...
Good night, Jatzavi.
Where are you going?
To your room to hear all the juicy details.
Dana, nothing happened,
you just imagine it.
You are selfish. It's not right.
- I always share. - Dana...
Can I ask you something?
Of course.
I truly didn't do anything,
but if you think...
I did, don't go...
...tell Dad, of course.
Uri, hello. It's me.
No, nothing happened. Nothing.
I only wanted to tell you everything's gonna be alright.
Really,
we'll be fine.
It might take some time, but in the end it'll all work out.
I assure you.
What did he want?
Nothing.
What are you doing?
I'm planning our trip.
"To be left"
"abandoned and without any strength"
"like the shore"
"even the oysters"
"even the oysters sometimes..."
"the home we have always loved"
"To be abandoned and without strength"
"like a shore"
"and man, and man"
"sometimes..."
"also ends up without any strength"
"just like the shore"
"and the oysters..."
"the wind..."
"the oysters..."
"the home we have always loved..."
Hi, what's news?
Good, thank God.
Help yourself.
Coming up on PRISONERS OF WAR
He never said who were the people in the photo.
Jamal gave them a note...
With the telephone number of a repair shop in the Upper Galilee.
What are you doing here? Are you mad?
This is not the first time I see this photo.
Micaela said somebody important would come today.
I'm Ron, her husband.
Nimrod, please to meet you.
There was a man here, at noon,
with dark glasses and a white skullcap on his head.
