Out in the Dark Page #3

Synopsis: Nimer and Roy are two gay men on opposing sides of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict who fall for each other. Much as they'd like to be left alone, both political conflict and orthodox beliefs will not leave their budding relationship untouched, with most of the egregious circumstances befalling Nimer, whom security forces pressure into helping them by stripping his access to education and threatening to leave him without family. Through his eye-witnessed death of a friend, Nimer knows he can't oblige. Can love find a way through this no-win situation?

Give me your number

and I'll do whatever you want.

Just please,

His family knows, take him back.

No, Gil.

Gil, please don't send me back.

Arrest me,

but please don't send me back.

Gil, I'm begging you,

they're gonna kill me!

You know they're gonna kill me.

Arrest me. Don't send me back!

When I tell you to shut the f*** up,

you shut the f*** up.

I'm fed up with the lot of you.

You hear me? Fed up!

I offered you my help. You didn't

want it. Now shut the f*** up.

I'm sick and tired of you.

Don't you get it?

You piece of sh*t f*ggot.

Gil, please.

Where are you going?

I have to make a quick stop.

Just drop me off at home first.

This can't wait.

Stay here, I won't be long.

Just leave the car on.

Good evening.

What's the point

of beating him up like that?

You need to make an example.

You don't really think they told him

any state secrets, do you?

What are you guys up to?

We're taking care of a collaborator.

Didn't I tell you to stay in the car?

What makes you think

he's a collaborator?

He's been living in Tel Aviv

working as a prostitute.

Do you think the Jews

let him stay there

out of the kindness

of their hearts?

That's no proof.

Let him go.

Nimr!

Are you trying to save him?

He's been living over there

taking Jewish dick.

But who told you

he was a collaborator?

I did!

Amar!

You're gonna get yourself in trouble.

So do something.

There's nothing you can do.

He's a f*ggot

and he's been living in Tel Aviv.

Israeli security gave him

a ride all the way home.

If you won't do something, I will!

Nimr,

get a grip.

Think.

Nabil...

Enough. Finish it already.

No!

But why so far?

Who's gonna be there?

Who else is coming?

Whose friends?

Well, can I call you back

a little later?

Okay, cool. Bye.

What a surprise!

I'm so happy, what are you doing here?

Is everything okay?

Mustafa's dead.

What happened?

He was caught hiding here illegally

and was deported.

He was killed back in his village.

I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

Can I spend the night here?

Yes. Yes, of course.

Put your backpack down.

Have a seat.

Do you want something to drink?

Water's fine.

Good morning.

How are you feeling?

You know you're welcome

to stay here as long as you want.

Thank you.

It's not because I'm nice,

it's just that...

I don't really want you to leave.

I don't feel like leaving either.

When am I gonna see you again?

Sunday?

"Youm El Ahad?" ("Sunday" in Arabic)

Yum Al Ahad.

To Mustafa.

How did you and Mustafa meet?

The first time I came to Tel Aviv

to check things out,

I went to a club,

but I was too scared to go in.

I walked around the block

like 10 times.

There were a bunch of guys
