- Nothing.

I kept dreaming

I'd learn to shoot and rescue you.

Omar...

Were you behind

the Huwara operation?

- Let's not talk about it.

- I want to know.

- It's better for you not to know.

- Don't you trust me?

- Nadia, it's for your own safety.

- I'm serious.

I'm serious too. Believe me...

If you finish school,

you'll have done enough. I beg you.

Beg harder, then.

I beg you.

OK, as you're the sweetest beggar

in the world.

- Were they hard on you in jail?

- Where can I find Tarek?

I don't know,

he doesn't sleep at home.

- Omar, I'm worried.

- Don't be worried.

Everything is under control.

Just hold on and we'll be together.

- I wish I could believe you.

- I promise.

I'll fix everything. Promise.

- Hello.

- Hi, Omar.

Najwa, tell Amjad

I'll be at the number I left at noon.

When did you get out of jail?

- I'm fresh out of the oven.

- Who did that to you?

- I'll be fine.

- When will you choose a bride?

After your wedding.

Hello?

- You look a picture!

- How are you?

- what do they want?

- For me to deliver you.

They think you killed the soldier.

We have a bigger problem.

There's a traitor among us.

Who in the brigades

knew about the operation?

Everyone is a suspect.

It could be him, could be you,

could be Amjad, it could be me.

- How could it be one of us?

- One rat can ruin everything.

what's the deal?

How do you contact them?

They gave me a number to call

when I know where you are.

Why don't we trick them?

Ambush them.

We said there's a traitor among us.

We won't act until we've caught him.

Tarek...

If you'd confessed in jail,

they'd be after me instead of Tarek.

I owe you forever for this...

you ugly monkey.

Don't stay in public

more than ten minutes.

It's not easy being on the run.

Call this number from a phone booth.

Leave a message

saying where you'll be waiting.

Tarek...

I want to marry Nadia.

You think this is a good time to ask?

- I want to marry her.

- There's every reason to suspect you.

If the ambush goes well,

we'll be certain you're one of us.

- I can't believe you just said that.

- Omar...

There's a price to pay if you want

to revolt and liberate your country.

You don't complain or cry.

This is the choice you made.

Whatever it costs me,

I want to marry Nadia.

Let me think about it.

Let's set up the ambush.

Then I promise to help.

Do you know this joke?

Once, three young men

went to a spiritual leader

and said,

"If we were to free Jerusalem,

"could we make hanky-panky

with the enemy's women?"

He said, "Do that, and you can

make hanky-panky with me."

Let's do the ambush first. OK?

We'll put the bed here,

the table there.

Television.

And here we can make
