At last.
Get that post, put it here.
How was school?
Okay.
That's it.
Tomorrow you can help me put up the fence.
Well? Having fun?
Those girls in that magazine, they're very pretty, si?
Great ass and tits on every one of them.
Yes...
Did you read the article about me?
I started... -And didn't finish it. I see.
It's hard to focus on torture and bodies and shooting with all...
What's that blonde's name?
Mary-Lou? -Mary-Jane.
Turn the page. Her friend is unbelievable.
They say you murdered and tortured all these people.
So? Does that get in the way of you jerking off?
It's really terrible, what I did, isn't it? -Yes...
And what exactly are you doing now?
Where is your hand right now?
What you're doing is a good thing? -How can you compare?
You're paying to see her demean herself.
I'm not torturing her. -I torture her a lot,
you torture her a little.
Ilan!
Ilan! Where are you? -I'm here.
What are you doing in there?
Looking for my old basketball, the one with the hole.
Ilan, come down. Get to bed. -Okay.
"Sweet Ilan, I rented a place in Haifa, not far from the beach.
"I'm doing just fine.
"I thought about going to school,
"but I have to save up some money first.
"I hope you'll get this letter.
"I've written three letters and haven't heard from you yet. "
"I miss you, Dalia. "
"Ilan, my sweet brother, congratulations.
"I miss you.
"I called today, but no one answered. "
"I'm still writing to you even though you're not writing back.
"I hope you're okay and don't have too much trouble with Dad. Dalia. "
What?
- Dalia Rubin -
Kid, what are you doing here?
What? What do you want here?
Nothing. -Go.
Go away.
Avram, how are you?
Like shit.
Who's that kid?
Kid, come here.
Come here.
Come on!
What are you doing here?
Is there a toilet here?
I need to go.
Kid, what are you doing here? What are you looking for?
I'm looking for my sister.
She'll be back soon. She lives over there.
Maybe you know her, Dalia.
The blonde who works at the port? -I don't know where she works.
I'll give you something to drink.
I need to go to the toilet.
Come on in.
To your left.
Here, here.
Thank you very much.
Where are you going? Come on, come have a drink.
So where did you say you're from?
In an agricultural village, in the South. -A village...
I'm a farmer too. -Really?
What do you grow? -I grow everything.
I'm from an agricultural village, I could help you. I'm good at it.
Good boy.
So, is this house yours?
Let's finish up and go home. -Okay.
Thank you for the tea. -You're welcome, kid.
Know what? If you like, you can come again.
Go, go to your sister.
You coming?
What? What happened?
Where are you?
I went out to buy beer.
What? -I'm going home.
Dalia... -Leave me alone.
Dalia?
Who is that? -It's me, llan.
It really is you...
What are you doing here?
Did something happen?
No.
Just passing by?
Suddenly you remembered you had a sister?
I'm sorry.
Nonsense. What's three years between siblings, eh?
I found your letters only yesterday.
Dad hid them from me, he said you were abroad,
that you'd deserted us.
Is that what he told you?
Is that why you hung up on me? -Just once...
How long have you been here?
Since this morning. I was all over the neighborhood.
Are you hungry?
A little. -Okay. Let's go upstairs.
Wow, I dreamed about Mom.
What did you dream?
I dreamed that she was alive and that we were at the beach.
She and I were with you
while Dad was seeing how long he could stay under water,
and all we could see was his back, with all that hair.
It's been a long time since I dreamt about her.
Me too.
Peanut, what are you doing here?
Did you call Dad?
I left him a note. -But he must be worried.
Call him, tell him you're alright. -He only cares about himself.
Dalia? -What?
Nothing. Never mind. -What?
Well, it's just... You look nice.
Thank you.
What will you do here?
Nothing.
Nothing? You'll be here all day. What will you do?
All kinds of things.
I can do lots of things. I can be your cleaner.
I can fix that broken shelf, in the bathroom.
I can fix that.
But you don't have any friends here.
I'll find things to do. Don't you worry about me.
My man, I see you found your sister. -Yeah...
Dalia, where are you sailing to? -Greece. -I'd love to go to Greece!
When will you tell me: "Zohar, come with me"? Well, why not?
Don't answer me. Never mind.
Thank you. -You're welcome.
I'll be right there.
Is he your boyfriend? -No.
So why did you kiss?
Because sometimes you do it just to find out if you love someone.
You're so beautiful.
There must be lots of men who want to be your boyfriend.
They're just too shy to say so. -You think?
I'm sure!
Well, I have to go back to work.
You can stay here for a while until we sail,
Then you can go to a movie or something. -When will you be back?
Tomorrow.
Don't worry, I'll manage.
I'm at Dalia's.
Don't you want to know how she is? -No.
What's so complicated? Ask me: "How is Dalia? "
"How is Dalia? How's Dalia? "
Listen up, llan. -What?
Your sister abandoned us. Come back home.
I don't have a home. -What did you say?
You heard me.
Avram!
My man, your sister sailed, eh?
Yes.
Do you know where Avram is? -Don't go near him.
Why not? -He's dangerous, don't mess with him.
We're friends. -What friends? What are you talking about?
Got a cigarette? -I don't sell cigarettes.
Now put down the weapon,
nice and slow.
Yeah, put it down, nice and slow.
And don't touch anything!
Avram, I swear I won't tell anyone. Open up!
Now think hard why I should open the door for you.
Come on, Avram, open up.
Why should l?
Avram, wait! Just you wait!
My Dad will come here and burn down this whole arms depot! Just wait!
Open the door!
Avram! Open up!
Avram.
What, Zohar?
I wanted to talk to you.
What about?
About that kid. -What kid?
Dalia's brother. He said you were friends and that he likes you.
Dunno. Go to bed. I'll go to bed and we'll talk tomorrow, okay?
Kid, what are you doing?
Now you think hard why I should open the door for you.
Open up, or I don't know what will happen!
Once I killed a kid with my bare hands!
I thought we were friends.
You told me I could come over.
What's up? Are you still there?
What do you need all this junk for, anyway?
You never know when the Capitalists will attack.
A true Communist is always ready.
Are you going to open up, or what?
I won't do anything.
You're a bandit, I like you.
Don't tell anyone what you saw.
In any case, I have no one to tell.
From now on, you're a Comrade.
What's a Comrade?
A Comrade is more than a brother, more than a friend.
It's everything.
I also left home when I was your age.
I joined the Partisans.
They put us in a forest, it was hell.
You wouldn't want to be there, believe me.
And who do you think won?
The Fascists with all their tanks and planes and rockets?
No, the Jews, the Russians, the Yugoslavs,
the Circassians. Would you believe it?
You know, a true Communist never gives up.
Now go pee.
So you're a Communist?
Can't you tell?
What's it like? -What's what like? -Being a Communist.
There are no more Communists. They're all dead.
But aren't there some in the Knesset? -Once upon a time.
Listen, don't you tell anyone what you saw.
Seriously, not even your sister.
You were never here, never saw anything, okay? -I promise.
Come over tomorrow, we'll work. It'll be great.
When is she coming back from the cruise?
Soon.
T ell her this is a present from Zohar.
She'll smoke this and fly to the moon.
Thanks. -Go, go on...
Ilan.
What are you doing here? Is everything okay?
Sure. I'm waiting for you.
You're so sweet!
What's up? -I'm okay.
Dalia, are you coming?
You can bring your brother.
I think we'll go home.
Your loss.
Okay, some other time.
Come on.
Did you bring in a cleaner?
No way! I did it all by myself.
I got you a present.
What is it? -It's a song. Just a second, I'll play it.
I brought you something else.
What, you smoke now?
No way.
So what's this?
Zohar sent you this.
What were you doing there? -I just had a coke.
So what do you want to do with it?
Smoke it.
You can, if you like.
They say it relaxes you. It's good for you.
This song, when everyone was fighting against Franco in Spain,
was the Communists' song.
It made a whole lot of fighters join up. Understand?
You don't say... -I do say.
A true Communist never gives up.
Give me some.
No, you're a minor.
Minor? I brought you this! -No!
Give me some. -No...
Enough, llan...
Enough.
Wait...
You know what I remembered on the cruise?
Remember when we went on that trip with Mom and Dad? -Yes.
And Mom cried the whole time? -Yeah...
Why did she cry?
Dad loved someone else.
I couldn't stand it, so I yelled at him,
and said that Mom died because of his love affair.
So that's why he kicked you out? Because you knew?
Come here.
Do you miss her?
Sometimes.
I want you to know I wanted to come and get you.
I dreamed you would move in with me and we'd be a family, just us two.
But I was so young myself, you know...
Well, here I am.
No. You finish high school,
go to university. Don't be like me.
Maybe you shouldn't be here. I work all the time and you're alone.
You're still a kid, understand? -I'm not a kid and I'm not alone!
Okay, get up. I'm hot.
Aren't you hot? I'm going to take a shower.
Come here.
Where are you?
What, you're in bed?
Want something to eat? I'm making something.
I'm tired. -What's wrong with you?
Okay, so give me a good-night kiss.
Good night.
Well, did you see that?
You haven't snooped around here, you bandit.
What is this? -These are my fields.
All yours? -Yeah.
One day I passed by and saw some workers put up a fence.
They said this building was tied up in the courts.
But I went in and saw all the plants... A real paradise,
a paradise.
I took them and started to grow them. One day Zohar comes to me
and says: What's this? I tell him I don't know.
He says it's marijuana, drugs.
I say, forget it, I won't touch that stuff. He says, why not?
We'll make money, it's a very good thing.
So we start growing the stuff.
Come see what it looks like.
Look here.
This is the male, this is the female. You smoke the female.
I smoked it. What can I tell you?
Nothing special, like a Valium,
but it makes people really happy.
They laugh all day and they're happy. That's it.
But you can't tell anyone.
Sure. I'll die rather than tell anyone. -That's the spirit.
You know, you should give them the Pill.
The Pill? -Then they'll grow much faster.
That's how we grow things in our village.
You need to space them here. They're not getting enough light.
Interesting...
Sit down.
Look.
Is that you? -Yes.
Who's this?
She was my wife. She's dead.
The capitalists took her.
Because she was a Communist?
She used to say the Communists always lose.
In Russia, in Spain, everywhere. They lose.
And the weapons? Aren't you afraid they'll catch you?
The weapons are for the day they come to finish me off.
That's what the weapons are for.
I won't go easily, like her.
So that friend of yours,
he's married? -Yes.
He has a wife and kids? -Yes.
So why are you with him?
He loves me sometimes.
And you love him?
Sometimes.
Don't you want someone who'll love you always?
Sure I do.
Tell me, do you have a girlfriend?
I had one. -Well...
What would you two do? -All kinds of things.
Did you kiss? -Sure.
And how was it? -What do you mean?
You're telling me you know how to kiss?
Want me to show you?
What are you doing?
Ilan.
What?
Where are you?
I'm eating.
Did you go out to the balcony just now? -No.
Why do you ask? -I just heard a noise, from the shower.
You're very beautiful.
No, really. I'm not just saying it...
because you're my sister.
Really.
Okay, I'm going to bed.
And you have a lovely smile.
Okay, so good night.
Look what I brought you.
It's my sister's.
She bought them, so I took them. Borrowed them.
You work well.
You know, those pills really worked.
Thanks.
She's really beautiful... -Who? -Your wife.
She's dead.
My sister's beautiful too.
Well... -I saw her boyfriend...
He's a real meathead. -So what?
Yesterday I saw her...
Well, come on, out with it. -I saw her in the shower.
What? You should be ashamed of yourself!
Listen, with your sister you should be very open.
No secrets. T ell the truth, like brothers, like family,
Iike us, like me and you.
You mustn't hide anything. Okay?
Hey, you're here.
Yeah, I'm resting.
What's up, are you homesick?
No, I'm thinking of Dad,
if he's feeding the horses.
I'll bet he's punishing them because I ran away.
No, I'm sure he's feeding them.
What is this?!
What?
He just bought it, and now it's for sale!
Maybe he needs the money.
So why did he buy it?
Maybe he's just not happy with it.
What is there not to be happy about for this capitalist?
This car will last longer than me!
People don't know what they want.
They spend half of each day wondering what to buy.
Which car, which house, which cucumber!
Half of their life is wasted on that.
This is my bank, here.
I won't go to their banks.
You can get old just waiting in line there.
They kill the old folks there,
there and in the hospitals.
Bobby! Ilan, Bobby.
Good boy!
Come into the bank.
Careful of that cable there.
This is for you, comrade.
Thanks. -You're welcome.
Who lives here, anyway? -All kinds of people.
So why do you come here? You could hide it near your ruin.
There's a view here, something to look at.
Look...
You dog! You shit!
You bastard!
Wait here.
What's this? You spitting on me?!
Shame on you! -Stop it.
What are you spitting at!
Just you wait!
Wait for what? -I'll fuck your mother, motherfucker!
Let go of me!
You bastard! Let go of me!
What's wrong with this neighborhood?!
Get away from him. -All the fleas jumped on me... go!
Oh, sorry.
Listen, I have a court order here, look,
I'm a contractor, I have to bring in vehicles.
This shit-head refuses to move his heap.
Then this crazy old guy comes along
and jumps me from behind!
Is that the reason for all this? -Here, look.
Look, it's "pot"!
This whole kiosk is full of drugs.
It's drugs. -Grandpa...
Who is this kid? -Cough, cough!
He's very ill.
Come on, grandpa. Come on... -ls it worth all this?
Feel better, goodbye.
I have to start working here. -lt'll all be fine, calm down.
He was spitting at me!
I wanted to start working here and they wouldn't let me!
A neighborhood of primitives!
Get lost, filth! -You fat bastard...
Calm down. -Okay, okay...
You go now.
You don't know me, you never met me.
Just leave. Get it?
Why? -Because.
But you need me...
No, no. Go. Go!
Go away.
I'm starting tomorrow and that's it!
Hello, you've reached the Rubins, please leave a message.
Kid, what are you doing here? Get out of here.
Avram, Avram!
Avram!
Where've you been? I've been looking for you.
Look, I know what needs to be done.
We should pick all the leaves, dry them,
and then move to a new place.
We'll manage, comrade.
They're going to build on my house.
They're going to tear down my house! I'll show them!
This isn't your war,
it's not your war, kid. Get lost.
Go. Get out of here, stupid!
Come here.
What are you doing here?
I'm looking for my brother, he hasn't come home.
There's no one here. Go away.
Okay, If you see him,
could you tell him I'm sailing tonight and I'll be back tomorrow?
Why don't you tell him yourself?
Sure, the workers are here.
Are you crazy? I'm not waiting any longer.
Every minute costs me money.
I've waited enough. A neighborhood of primitives!
All the vehicles are here.
Come here.
What are you doing here?
Come here.
Get out of there! Get out now!
Soon all hell's gonna break loose here, believe me.
They'll come here with F-1 6s, F-1 5s, F-14s, whatever they wan
Even if they bring the SWAT team from Entebbe, it won't help them.
I'll show them What a Communist loser is!
This is my place here.
I've been living here since my wife died.
They think they can build a mall here now?
No, this place is mine. I've been here for a long time!
Now they want to take it away?
No, Comrade, I won't let them.
That's why you have to leave.
Can I have one too?
T ell me, what do you see there?
Another truck. -Security forces are baffled.
At this point it is not yet known
who is behind that attack...
"Not yet known..."
You won't ever know, either!
Are you coming out?
The injured have already been taken to hospitals in Haifa.
Some of them will need to be operated on...
You falling asleep?
Are you messing with me? -Yes.
You're the girl who thinks her brother's in there? -Yes.
Why do you think so? -He's friends with Avram, who lives there.
No one lives there, that house is deserted.
Everyone knows Avram lives there.
Can't you let me in?
Sorry, this place is sealed. There's a terrorist attack.
You go home.
Believe me! There are no terrorists here.
You'll hurt my brother for no reason! -You have to move away.
What happened?
Let me in, they'll kill my brother!
You'll kill my brother... Let me in now.
Stop!
What's that? -Those are landmines from 1948.
Good morning.
I'm here representing the IDF.
We want to talk to you.
Why don't you tell us your demands?
Get up.
Get up, they'll be starting soon.
Some of our people are injured... -Get down!
and we don't want to hurt you.
Talk to us.
You tell them you're a hostage.
You...
tell them...
there are hostages here, okay?
T ell them you're a prisoner. -Okay.
They won't fire missiles if they know there's a little kid here.
'Cause the whole world's watching it: BBC, CBS...
What shall I tell them?
Tell them there're a lot of hostages here, not just you.
Tell them they took you hostage, tell them not to shoot.
That we said that if they do anything, we'll shoot you.
T alk.
Don't shoot.
They say they'll kill me if you shoot.
Who are you?
Kid, who are you?
I'm llan Rubin...
I was staying with my sister, in Haifa.
Don't worry, I'm here to help.
They kidnapped me on the street. There're a lot of other kids here,
all blindfolded.
Who are they? What language are they speaking?
Spanish, Spanish... -Spanish.
Ask them to tell us who they are.
They say they won't say anything,
just don't do anything, or they'll kill us and you.
How many hostages are there?
I don't know.
So ask them what they want.
We want the whole world to know.
They want the whole world to know.
To know what?
That doesn't matter now. We'll tell them later.
They can think for themselves.
If they don't talk to us, we won't get anywhere.
We'll have to use force.
If they use force, tell them we'll use force too!
We'll show them!
Ifyou don't negotiate, we'll have no choice
but to use force.
He says you should stop talking.
Fuck!
Do you realize what's happening?
Are you Dalia, llan's sister?
Are you llan's sister?
Ilan Rubin? -Yes.
We'll do everything to get him out of the hands of those terrorists.
What terrorists? All you've got there is Avram and my brother!
That's who you have in there. -How old is llan? -14.
How old are you?
You're going to kill my brother for nothing.
Ilan...
Ilan, this is Dalia, can you hear me?
Ilan, they think it's terrorists!
Tell them it's just you and Avram! They'll go in and kill you!
Sit down. -llan, can you hear me?
Answer me!
Don't answer her. -Let me talk to her.
Don't answer her. -Let me talk to her!
They can't know you're not a prisoner. -I don't care!
Don't answer her.
Listen to me.
There's no family, no sister... Sit down.
Answer me!
I'm sorry about what happened, please answer me!
Why won't you answer me?
T alking's over. No more talk.
Come with me.
Why aren't you eating?
Come on, eat.
Eat!
Where are you going?
To the bathroom. -Get down.
When everything is ready, open fire.
It's sad. My heart is breaking. Really.
T ell me, kid, can't you see how sad this is,
how dangerous all this is?
You're friend is sick.
This woman he tells you about, she's not dead, obviously.
What happened to her?
How could she have died if she never lived?
What do you mean?
He's completely crazy, God help us.
Let's get out of here.
Come on, it's dangerous.
Stop!
You killed her, you bastard!
I shot her in the arm, see? Nothing happened.
There are landmines over there, understand?
Mines.
She could have stepped on one. -She's not moving!
Why did you have to shoot her?!
I didn't have to shoot her. It's war.
War is war! No friends, no children, nothing...
Shut up! And if I'm dangerous, you'll kill me too?
I didn't kill her, I just shot... Put down the gun.
Shut up! -Don't touch it...
Ilan!
Avram, Don't talk.
Comrade...
Now help me up.
Answer me! What's going on in there?
Go tell them...
that in fifteen minutes you'll come out. Fifteen minutes.
It's me, llan.
They'll let me out in fifteen minutes.
Give me the gun.
What are you going to do? -Nothing.
Come on, help me up.
Go to the bank. Take the money. It's for you.
We won, didn't we?
You go out to your sister.
Go, go on, comrade.
Avram!
Are you okay?
Dalia. -llan.
Are you okay?
First we want to know how many people were in that house.
How many?
Just one.
And hostages? How many hostages?
Just me.
Avram, you're surrounded!
Surrender! Come out with your hands up.
We don't want to hurt you.
Come out!
