VALLEY OF TEARS
Please!
Live, live. Please.
You're alive!
Yoav, you passed out. Are you all right?
No, no, no! Yoav, don't look.
Where's my leg?! My leg's gone!
What can I do?
Put on a tourniquet! I have a tourniquet!
Okay, okay. It's four fingers, four fingers above.
Four fingers above the wound.
Make sure there's no pulse.
- There's my leg. - Yoav, no, no! Look at me!
Yoav, stay alive. Okay?
A tourniquet, here. First twist. Second twist.
Yoav, I'm sorry, this is going to hurt.
Okay. A little more. Second twist tight. Then tighter.
I'm sorry.
No pulse, Yoav, no pulse.
Yoav, look at me.
You'll be fine, stay with me.
Please, God, please.
Yoav, you'll be fine, we'll get you to a hospital or a town or a kibbutz.
Listen, I'm going to drag you, all right? I'm going to drag you.
Are you ready?
Look at me!
Thanks.
For what?
For staying.
You'd do the same for me.
Yeah.
What's going on there, Alush? Looks like BTRs are gathering.
- We'll be here at least three days. - Yeah, at least.
The vegetables will spoil first, so let's eat them first.
Then the corned beef, canned goods.
Come with me, we have to talk.
They knew all about us, Marco.
Who?
The detective, that's who. I think we have a rat.
What did they know?
Names. Dates, operations.
They knew plans in advance, as if they were in the meetings with us.
Bastards.
I think I know who it is.
Who?
A friend. A brother.
No way. How do you figure?
- They knew about the weapons cache. - What?
Who knew about the weapons cache?
Me, you, him and Maurice.
Maurice would never rat us out, he's too scared. Who's left?
Damn rat.
What do you think we should do?
First we get out of this war alive, then we take care of it.
- Got a light? - Yeah.
It's beautiful here, huh? What a view.
Believe me, I won't miss it.
Gimme a drag.
What's that?
They're leaving the vehicles. A whole company.
- They're coming here. - Fuck!
What is it?
Stay down. Get over here. Get over here, everyone down.
Listen up.
Syrian soldiers and two BTRs are on their way here.
60-70 soldiers.
They'll be here in 20-30 minutes. Helmets on your heads.
Weapons on you, at all times. Whoever can, fills magazines.
We have two options. One, we're gonna fight them
but I don't think we stand a chance. What do you think, Marco?
We're gonna die.
The second and better option is, we ask that the hill be barraged.
That way they won't dare come up here.
That will buy us some time until the reserves or rescue get here.
What do you say?
We'll go for it. And if they do come up here,
we'll scatter all the bodies, maybe they'll think we're dead.
- Good idea, Melakhi. - Great idea.
Let's do this! Come with me, doctor.
- With me, let's go. - Hurry up. Also blankets.
Marco, give me that blanket. Put it over there.
Put him down here.
Turn him over. Take his helmet off.
Sulami, help me.
Guys, put weapons on the bodies.
Over there. Easy, easy.
There's another one over there.
Finish guys, inside.
- Everyone in the bunker, now! - Get in, get in.
- I'm not going back without you Aviram. - Caspi, get in.
Let's go, to the bunker. Pitzi, to the bunker.
Toss the stretchers. Come on.
To the bunker!
Alush, let me do it. I'll direct the barrage.
You know I'm the best man for the job. I'm good at it.
Caspi, I trust you. I trust you.
We're goners.
CO, this is 87. The Syrians are on the hill, request artillery.
87, this is Tokyo. Please wait.
Yoav, stay with me, don't fall asleep.
We'll find a town, you'll be fine. We'll find our soldiers.
Yoav, don't fall asleep.
87, this is Ruler 1. You need support fire? Over.
Ruler, this is 87. Battery target Blue 7121, fire. Over.
The Syrians are coming, it has to happen now.
87, our troops are there. Check urgent assistance. Over.
That's affirmative.
The Reds are coming, bomb us with overhead fire!
87, this is Ruler 1, copy that.
Prepare for 7121. Prepare for rain. Over.
87, first one fired.
Ruler, where's the fire? We don't see anything.
87, it's coming from a distance, pal. It's on its way.
See anything?
- Yes! - Caspi, get over here!
I have to report. I have to see where it comes down.
Ruler, you're close. Now add 50.
Caspi, are you insane? Get in here already!
Yes! You're close.
Target, maximal 10-minute pace. Over. Ruler, you're doing great.
Marco!
I have to talk to you.
No need.
Your reaction tells me there is.
I thought we were family.
I didn't mean to go behind your back, but...
But you did.
It just happened. My love for her is real.
Riki? You think I don't love her?
You love Riki and Esti and Rachel.
Tell me the truth, do you really love her?
Or do you want her because of Marco?
Once a traitor, always a traitor. That's all I have to say.
- What do you mean? - Figure it out.
I swear, I don't know what you want from me.
What do I want? I'll tell you what I want.
Someone in this gang is singing.
Giving the cops everything.
Names, dates, operations, hideouts.
So what do you want from me?
It's you. You rat.
Me? A rat?
You think I'd betray you?
You know me better than that, Melakhi.
Do I?
I'd die before I sell out my brothers.
You are my flesh and blood. I'd never do that.
You didn't rat us out?
Look me in the eye and tell me you think I would.
If you could keep from Marco that you're seeing his sister,
then I wouldn't put it past you.
You leave Marco to me.
May God help you.
Marco would rather have his head chopped off
than see you live with his sister in whitey's hood.
- Whitey's hood? - You're dying to live there.
With your Ashkenazi officer pals.
Melakhi, this isn't Morocco. Riki will do as she sees fit.
Why are you talking? The Syrians are about to invade us.
I just talked to him. It's not him.
It has to be Maurice, the son of a bitch.
Yoav, I see a bus stop, maybe there's a payphone.
Just a little bit more, okay?
We can do this.
Deputy Adir, where were the wounded soldiers from Mas'ade evacuated to?
There are no wounded, everyone's dead.
Can you give me details?
Get Pike on the radio. Over.
Copy that.
This is Dafna from the war room.
I need a status on the dead and wounded.
There was a skirmish near the booster.
Hanan Sanderson and Gilboa Bar are dead.
I'm sorry to hear that. Any news about the wounded?
Yes. I heard that Modi Eyal's platoon was wiped out.
Burned alive, I'm sorry to say.
I'm sorry, I have to get off the line now.
Modi Eyal's platoon.
- Modi Eyal? - Yes.
He's the fourth casualty from my kibbutz.
Unbelievable.
Yes! Rain!
Rain on me, yes! Give me rain!
Bring down a storm on this fucking hill!
Caspi, get over here.
Caspi!
Get over here now! Caspi!
Four shells a minute, like clockwork.
The bastards won't come near here, mark my word.
You did good, Caspi. Now, sit down.
Looks like we have some time.
How about we play a game to get acquainted?
We'll each say our name and favorite animal.
Who's going first?
I'm Eran. I'll say a whale.
Geva, giraffe.
Pitzi, elephant.
I'm Melakhi, I like songbirds.
Sulami, we missed you.
Gutterman, cow.
Yummy. I could eat a herd of cows here and now.
I'm Caspi. I have a Retriever.
He's 13, but he acts like a puppy.
His name is Rafa. Sweet Rafa. He's so cute.
Let me see.
You're sweet.
- Let me see. - Pass me the picture.
- Is that your girlfriend? - Aviram's girlfriend.
Give the picture back. Give the picture back!
Yoni, favorite animal?
Hi, I'm Yoni. Seagull.
Seagull? What's your last name?
Yoni Ben-Dror.
No way, you're Yoni Ben-Dror?
Your dad's been looking for you, man. Caspi, give me the radio, now.
- My dad? He's looking? - Meni is looking for you.
Caspi, give me the radio, now! Give it.
I forgot it out there.
Caspi!
- Alush! - I'm fine, I'm fine.
- Caspi ! - Get him.
Caspi.
Get him. Let's go!
- What happened? - Put him on the bed.
Let me, let me.
Caspi, look at me. Look at me!
Here's water. You're all right.
It's okay, You're all right. Let me see.
You're all right.
You're all right, okay?
You're all right. You got this, man.
Okay, everyone listen up.
Everyone.
I don't have to tell you what's going on out there.
The southern Golan Heights have been breached.
That doesn't mean it's a lost cause.
Reserves are preparing to hold the lines.
We have to conduct a situation reevaluation.
You're doing a great job, but you haven't slept in over 30 hours.
You're tired and that's natural. We're not machines.
What I ask is besides the listeners and officers,
everyone take a five-minute breather outside.
Wash your faces, whoever has to make a call, this is the time.
Five minutes and you're back here. Go.
People shouldn't have to hear they lost their loved ones through rumors.
Yes, they deserve an official notice.
The families deserve to hear it in a dignified, official manner.
They shouldn't have to wait until after the war.
The pain is the same. Does it matter who tells you?
Okay, I'll get back to the lists.
Dafna.
I'm sorry we couldn't get to Yoav.
It's okay, you did your best.
As soon as we can, you'll inform the families properly.
Thank you.
Dafna.
This is Melakhi, do you read?
Dafna, do you read?
Melakhi, good to hear your voice. Over.
Is this Dafna? Wrong number.
You're supposed to say "over" when you're done, Melakhi. Over.
I am the teen idol.
Dafna, how are you, sweetheart? How're things at home?
Boring. I went to the beach with friends,
then we had coffee and cake at Kapulsky.
Now I'm going to a concert, I just called the babysitter. Over.
That's great. Listen, over.
Don't ask what I found on the way to Woodstock.
You're supposed to say "over" when you're done, Melakhi. Over.
Girl, you're driving me nuts.
Find our journalist, now, 'cause I found his lost son,
alive and kicking.
Meni's gonna freak out. Over.
Are you sure?
Am I sure, sweetie? I'm telling you, he's right here.
Hold on, I'm going to get Meni.
Your dad is a legend. A legend.
Marco, if you saw the Valiant he drives, you'd die, man.
Melakhi, it's Meni, do you read? Is Yonatan all right?
He can hear you.
Yonatan, are you all right?
It's Dad. This is Seagull. Over.
Talk to him, say something.
Yoni, you have no idea,
I was so worried. Can you hear me?
Talk to him, Yoni.
Yonatan, let me hear your voice.
I know you don't want to talk to me and that's okay,
but please, please, say something.
Meni, buddy, he's fine, I'm keeping him safe.
Yoni, we'll get home and we'll talk.
Give me a chance to make amends.
Meni, I don't know if we know how to get home. Over.
You'll get back. I'll make sure of it.
There hasn't been a boom in a while.
Why aren't they firing a barrage?
Get into position. Why did they stop firing?
Melakhi, I need the radio.
Get me Ruler 1.
Ruler 1, this is 87, why did you stop the barrage? Over.
87, this is Ruler 1, I can't assist you anymore.
We're all dried out, I have to withdraw from the sector.
I'm sorry. Over and out.
Tokyo, did you hear that? You're leaving us alone.
How can we stop an entire army? Someone do something! Over.
Tokyo, do you read?
Almogi, I never asked anyone for help.
But this is bigger than me.
My kid is on 87, I'm begging you, get a rescue unit out there.
I'm sorry. I have no way of getting there.
No, it's just a matter of priorities.
Listen to me, Ben-Dror, Dafna's boyfriend is missing.
I'm not sending out a rescue team to find him.
My brothers are in the Sinai,
my best buddies are scattered who knows where. I don't even dare to ask.
The whole country is in danger.
So yes, you're right, it's a matter of priorities. Get me HQ.
They call us generals who are running the country.
Now you see, we're not above anyone else.
Yes?
Thousands will be killed.
I want the Major-General.
Put him through. Yes, now.
We've started working. We just started.
Of course. They attacked everything.
Northern Command.
Hello, put me through to the Defense Minister's office.
I'm not sure I can, I'll try.
Defense Minister's office.
Shoshi, is Moshe there?
- Who is this? - Meni Ben-Dror.
He's busy.
Yes, I'm sure he is, but an old friend needs him and it's urgent.
- I'm sorry, I have to clear the line. - Shoshi, don't you dare...
Asshole!
You can be sure he has time for his lovers.
He can't think without his dick.
Just a little bit more.
Good.
I'm going to see if there's a payphone.
We're close. Want some water? Are you cold?
- I can cover you with my shirt. - Avinoam.
What?
I want it to be over.
What? Tell me what you need. I'll get it for you.
I want you to shoot me.
What?
I want you to shoot me.
- What? - Avinoam, shoot me.
Shoot me. I'm in pain.
I'm in pain, Avinoam. Help me get this over with.
You don't know what you're saying. You'll be fine, listen to me.
I'm begging you.
I want it to be over. I can't do this. I don't want to.
Look at me.
Look at me! Look at me! Help me!
It hurts, Avinoam, help me.
I'm begging you. I'm begging you, shoot me.
Yoav, I'm going to get help.
I'll find someone.
Wait for me here. We're close to Kibbutz Gesher Zvi.
I'll be back in two hours.
Stay with me. I can't, Avinoam.
- I'm begging you. - Don't ask me to do it.
It's what I want, help me!
I can't drag you anymore, I'm sorry.
Avinoam, a wounded man is more damage than a dead man.
What did they teach you?
A wounded soldier needs medical treatment, he holds up the troops,
demoralizes them.
Exactly. Exactly, so do it.
I'm begging you. There's no choice, you know that.
I'm going to get help.
I'll be back in two hours with backup. I promise.
- Avinoam. - I'm sorry.
Avinoam!
What?
I'll wait for you.
Leave me the rifle.
What? No. No. No, you'll shoot yourself.
Leave me the rifle.
I can't, you'll shoot yourself.
Avinoam, leave me the rifle,
I can't protect myself if the Syrians come, leave me the rifle.
No. I won't.
Avinoam, leave me the rifle, that's an order!
Leave me the rifle! Leave me the rifle!
Yoav, you promise you won't...
I promise.
Cock the rifle for me.
I'll be back, I promise, I'll bring backup.
- I'm going now. - My pocket, Avinoam.
- My pocket. - What? What is it?
The ring.
- Find Dafna. - What?
Promise me you'll find Dafna and give this to her.
Promise me.
I want her to have this.
I want her to have something from me.
I'll be back, I swear. You'll see. I'll be back.
Avinoam.
What?
You're a good man.
You'll get out of here. You'll grow up.
You'll have a beautiful life.
We'll both get out of here. Both of us.
I'll be back.
I promise.
Avinoam, remember.
What?
Remember what we talked about.
Dive in.
Now run! Get outta here.
Get outta here!
I'm sorry. I'll be back.
Coffee?
I heard what you said earlier.
You're right. There's no excuse for this chaos.
It's not fair that the families have to wait days and weeks in the dark,
just relying on rumors.
We must find a solution.
I'm only writing down names we know for sure. Reliable reports.
Got it.
I'm appointing you to make an order, you collect all the information.
Prague 1, this is Tokyo. State your position. Over.
We're an hour from the big hill.
Copy that, Prague. Await orders. Over.
I'm asking every unit for a manpower report
so we know how many are left and where.
No, it's too dangerous.
Prague 1, take all your vehicles to 87.
A unit is waiting for rescue. Now, top priority. Over.
Copy that. It contradicts the instructions I got earlier.
Who are these orders from?
As high as it gets, Major General. Leave now. Over and out.
This is Prague 1, en route to 87.
I need some help. A female soldier to work with me.
You got it.
Meni?
What did you do? Who was that on the radio?
I said hi to friends.
Meni.
Dafna, you're mature enough to understand me.
The people we love come first.
To you that's Yoav, to me that's my son,
with all due respect to this Zionist project.
I'm sorry.
I'm canceling the order you just gave,
stay away from the radio from now on.
That's an order.
He's my son.
Dafna, he's my son.
