The Girl from Oslo (2021) s01e03 Episode Script

A NETFLIX SERIES
[Arik] They're holding them in Egypt.
We can't just go in.
[Alex] She's your daughter.
Just remember, Pia knows.
Are you threatening me?
Don't make me your enemy.
I want to know
if you're the same group who took Pia.
[man] You only need to know
we share the same goal.
To get Abu Salim freed.
We want you to be our man on the inside.
[Christian] Let's say we get him released.
He's one of Norway's most despised men.
We'll be releasing a terrorist.
But I have no choice.
Can you get it done or not?
[Grant sighs]
Okay, I'll get them.
[Layla] Alex.
[Alex] Where's Yusuf?
He hasn't been himself
since his father was killed.
[Pia grunts]
- [Yusuf, in Arabic] They got her.
- [terrorist] That's good news, Yusuf.
[Ali] Yusuf!
Why aren't you ready yet?
They're not responding.
[in English] Get up!
[Pia screams]
- [pants]
- [in Arabic] This is the one you lost.
Don't you wanna become a man?
Man up! Focus!
[female agent] Confirmed.
They've all returned to the cave.
It's right. They're there.
Okay.
It's supposed to be there.
Right behind the mountain range, you stop.
[doors open]
[doors close]
Let's go.
Get ready to start the intel blocking.
Five minutes is all we got.
What's this? What's happening?
Car three, I've lost eyes on them.
Car three,
calibrate your camera immediately.
I don't have eyes.
[tense music plays]
Kirsch, check if it's a fault or a block.
[tense music builds]
[Bill Clinton] Today, we bear witness
to an extraordinary act
in one of history's defining dramas.
[camera shutter clicks]
[child laughs]
[indistinct shouting]
[Pia screams]
[man] Chief, this is Eagle.
All ready. Identified cave entrance.
Thin smoke. Proceed with caution.
Proceed with caution.
[door closes]
Eagle Seven.
I need you immediately at the site, now.
How many minutes are you out?
[sighs]
[under breath] Fuck.
Go on. Go and get the cars.
They were definitely here.
Mother, pack it up quickly
before the intel drone
starts working again.
[sighs]
Pia Pia, are you okay?
Did he do something to you? Are you okay?
[sobs] We were really scared for you.
[distressed] Why am I here?
What are we doing here?
I don't understand. What did I do?
You didn't do anything.
Shut up!
[Pia sobs]
[phone ringing]
[phone continues ringing]
[ringing becomes louder]
- Hello?
- [Grant] We missed them.
- But I'm 100% sure they were here.
- [under breath] Fuck.
[sighs] And now?
No way we can continue
moving around here without intel.
The intel drone was only down
for ten minutes.
Are you on your own?
That's absolutely right, sir.
I'm sure there's no need to explain
the importance of this project.
[Grant] What do you want us to do now?
[Arik] Wait a second.
Chaim, give me a second.
I'm on my way to the operations room.
I'll see if they've eyes on them.
Okay.
You keep scanning with the drones
to give us an indication.
Meanwhile, we'll keep a low profile.
[Arik] Okay. Thanks. Bye.
Eagle Seven,
that's a negative on Botanica.
Eagle Two to Four, scan blue area 3-3-2.
Hey. Any news?
There's nothing concrete.
What, they just disappeared from radar?
Unfortunately, yes.
I think someone tampered with our signal.
We had a problem with the camera,
and we haven't seen them in some time.
We were right on their tail.
Eagle Six, continue north of Antenna axis.
Maybe they went down into a valley
or into some cave.
There hasn't been a trace
for some time now.
Well, of course there hasn't.
They know every corner, those shits.
I know, yeah.
Eagle One,
continue north on blue area 1-2-6.
Okay, Maski,
if you see so much as a bush move,
any irregular movement, call immediately.
- Yeah.
- Yes?
- Yes. Will do.
- Thank you.
[Christian] As you know, it was assumed
that Abu Salim was an ISIS leader.
It was also assumed
that he was the architect
behind several terrorist attacks
in both Israel
and other countries in the region,
including a confrontation with Hamas
which put one of the Hamas leaders
- [Eva] Bashir Amari?
- [Christian] Yes. In a wheelchair.
[Eva] Hmm.
That wasn't proved in court either.
But it was proved
that he was an active member
of a terrorist organisation.
Enough to be convicted.
Uh, yes, even though
he isn't a Norwegian citizen.
Yeah.
Keep looking through all the
all the evidence.
- Look for technicalities.
- [Eva] Okay.
I'll check the conviction
to see if anything's there.
[Eva] Thanks.
I know I'm of a minority opinion,
but I'll say it again.
I'm not sure
we should entirely reject the deal.
Twelve in exchange for three
is not a bad deal.
We're sitting here going round in circles,
not doing anything.
We have to get them out.
I've started a dialogue
with Egyptian Intelligence.
I've asked about coordinating operations.
Every coordination
with the Egyptians is a hassle
- That's it, Mosh. Nothing we can do.
- [Mosh] Clock's ticking.
We wait for approval from the Egyptians.
- What of the ISIS prisoners?
- They're losing patience.
Tension in the prison is growing.
Excuse me for a second.
- What's there?
- Have a look.
They went in this direction there.
So, by my calculations,
they're probably more or less
in this area here.
- We're going to focus our efforts there?
- Yeah.
- Scan every centimetre.
- Very well.
Okay.
Maski
connect me to the live feed, okay?
Certainly will.
Thanks.
Hey, Bat-El
Listen, I have a few urgent matters
that need taking care of at home.
Push my meetings for today.
All the meetings in my book.
Thanks.
[inhales and sighs deeply]
[Grant] Go west.
Cover up.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[footsteps approach slowly]
[Abu sighs]
You know why I have such belief in you?
You know, my last lawyer,
he was probably a very good one too,
but his, uh
his motivation, his-his-his drive
was money, maybe prestige, which
it can only get you so far.
Not to the very limits
of what you are able to do.
But you, on the other hand
your motivation
You know, as a
as a father myself
I believe there could be
no more motivated lawyer
in the whole world.
I'm here to get you out of prison.
- Let's focus on that, shall we?
- [Abu] Oh, yes.
And where do we start?
Well, uh, you've been convicted
of being a member
of a terrorist organisation
Terrorist? [scoffs]
You know, that's what the
the British they said about Irgun.
The Jews
fought for the liberation of Israel
and blew up hotels,
killed innocent people.
And what about you?
Norwegians who the Germans
in this country called terrorists.
Hmm?
And your point being?
You call me a terrorist.
I call myself a soldier.
Uh, whatever suits you.
I'm not here to discuss semantics
It's not semantics,
it's the core of the conflict.
If only you Westerners could see us
as we see ourselves.
We are soldiers
in God's army, we are not evil.
We we just want the world to be
the way our God wants it to be.
[Ali, in Arabic] Come on!
Come on!
Come on, quickly!
Yusuf, take them there.
Khaled, check all the places around here.
- Go up there. You too.
- [Yusuf speaks indistinctly]
[Ali] Come on! Quickly!
- [Bat-El, in English] I'm writing it down.
- [Arik] Cancel the meeting too.
- [Arik] Let Uri know, and print it.
- [Bat-El] Okay.
- [chuckles] Hey, hey, hey!
- [Bat-El] Hi, Oren!
[laughs] My son.
[chuckling]
I can't get used to this haircut.
- Where are your curls, hmm?
- [Oren chuckles]
- Yes.
- [Arik] What?
- Why are you here? On leave?
- I'll wait for you in the office.
- Yes.
- Bye, Oren.
What's up?
[breathing nervously]
What's going on?
Hmm.
That unit, Dad, I can't go back.
The commander keeps humiliating me.
They make me stand at attention
for three hours.
Slightest movements get me punished.
Enough.
Just a second.
Let me get this straight. Are you AWOL?
Dad, please,
get me transferred to Intelligence.
- One call gets me out of this nightmare.
- Oren, you'll get through this.
We've all been there. It's not just some
Stop! Enough! Dad, enough!
I can't hear that nonsense
about becoming a man
It isn't nonsense and
- Help me for once in your life!
- [Arik] Once?
You've got some nerve, you know.
I don't have time to deal with this now,
and I don't intend to deal with it.
Get back to your unit immediately
before this AWOL costs you, okay?
[Oren scoffs]
- Oren
- [Oren sighs]
[woman 1] Yeah, sure. Thank you.
Yeah, thank you.
I've I've got all the ones on display.
I have no problem with
[woman 2 sighs]
Alex?
- That's your name, right?
- Yes.
Anat.
- Oh.
- [Anat sighs]
[both breathe heavily]
[both sigh]
I've come to ask for your help.
How?
Talk to him okay?
It's not a good time now, Oren.
You see how troubled he is.
You've no idea
how mad he was about your AWOL.
But it's fine. I went back to the base.
Everything's fine. Nobody noticed anyway.
But I can't go back to another week.
You can do it, honey.
Trust me. I told you.
Let me take care of it somehow, alright?
Leave it with me.
Come on, let's go eat.
Come on.
It's so nice you could come home
in the day to have lunch with us.
- [Oren] Uh
- That looks good.
- Here you go, little sister.
- Alma, put the phone away.
I'm putting it away.
[Dana clears throat]
What is it?
It will beep if they need you, won't it?
- What?
- Arik. The phone, Arik.
They've yet to invent a phone
that you look at to get calls.
[chuckles]
[chuckles]
[Arik] Hmm.
Is something going on, Dad?
It's a developing crisis.
Something could happen at any minute.
Any information is critical.
Any second here or there could mean
the difference between life and death.
- [Alma] For the hostages?
- Mm-hmm.
So, why won't you consider
prisoner exchange?
It's been done before.
- [Dana] Oren.
- What?
- Enough.
- Why didn't they do it this time?
It's okay. I'll tell you why not.
Because if we surrender again
and make a deal, it will never end.
That's why. It's a prize for terrorists.
We have to say stop. That's it.
- Otherwise, it will never end.
- And what if they were your children?
Stop, stop. God forbid.
I can't even think about it.
- [Oren] Why? She's right.
- [Alma] I asked.
It makes no difference.
We have to treat this objectively.
We can't make important decisions
based on personal consideration.
But really now
what would you do if this was Alma or me?
I'm a soldier now, okay?
It's not such an extreme scenario.
So, you'd insist on your principles
and reject the chance to save us?
- You want to talk about principles?
- Yes, I'd like to.
- Really, Mr Soldier?
- [Dana] Arik.
I was taught the principle that a soldier
handles his problems and doesn't run away.
What does that have to do with it?
I'm talking emotion versus principle.
Principles aren't controlled by emotions,
Oren, by definition, you know?
Understand?
Here. You've got your answer, sister.
He would let us die.
Tell me, what is this nonsense
you're saying, hmm?
What? Do you even know what I do?
You babble all day, that's all you do
- [Oren] Why are you shouting?
- [Dana] Arik, stop!
It's his right to voice his opinion, okay?
Can't we have one meal
without arguing at the table?
Okay. Sorry.
[doors close]
[door closes]
[woman] Alpha, this is Mother.
We have eyes on them.
I see two dirty cars
and a dirty armed figure beside them.
Three hundred meters
from the eastern range.
Copy that. Over.
[phone ringing]
Sorry, I have to take this.
[phone continues ringing]
[Arik] Just a second.
- Yes?
- [Grant] We've found them.
We're on top of them, ready to move.
That's if the intel drone
hasn't seen them yet.
Okay. Wait a second, I'll check the drone.
[softly] Can you hear me?
They're still looking.
I'll keep you posted.
[sighs] Copy that.
[phone vibrating]
[sighs]
[Arik] Listen, there's nothing I can do.
No, I can't see how anything can be worse
than doing nothing.
Alex, I told you, I'm doing what I can.
Release the prisoners.
Or negotiate.
Do whatever the hell is needed.
If you don't do that,
I'm going to go right out
and say who Pia's real father is.
[Arik whispers] Hey!
[distant dishes clatter]
[whispers] If you do that,
everything is fucked.
I need to be sure that you do something,
and this seems to be the only way.
Alex, if you do that,
you fuck up your best chance
of getting Pia back.
What do you mean?
- Wh-What are you up to?
- [Arik] You know I can't tell you that.
But you need to keep yourself in check.
You hear me? I mean it.
- Not a word.
- [Alex] No, I won't say anything.
I promise. But, uh
You're really doing something?
I am, believe me.
[dishes clatter]
[Arik] But this is serious.
I've said enough, Alex.
[Alex] Okay. I understand.
[dishes clatter]
[under breath] Fuck.
- No sugar, right?
- Mm-hmm.
You look like you have news.
No.
Just, um
hope there will be some progress.
- Was that Pia's father?
- [Alex] No.
I mean
- Yes, that was Pia's father. [chuckles]
- [Anat chuckles]
How is he?
He, uh It's hard for him too, of course.
And how about their father? Where is he?
He's a rabbi.
- [Alex] Okay.
- [Anat] Mm.
He can't accept that Nadav
doesn't share his emunah, his belief.
So, Nadav lives with me.
Yeah.
The last, uh, straw was when Nadav decided
he didn't want to be religious anymore.
- [Alex] Hmm.
- And then, he joined the army.
And then, Noa decided she didn't want
to be religious, you know, like
- Like her big brother.
- [Alex] Of course.
Yeah, but then
there was no way back.
Wh-What do you mean?
He decided to sit shiva on them.
- Shiva?
- [Amat sighs]
Yes, that's mourning the dead.
So now, they are dead to him.
[Alex sighs deeply]
He will not come here
to say a prayer for our children.
[sighs wearily]
[Nadav] Drink, drink.
Raise your head. Raise it.
Slow, slow, slow, slow.
Everything's fine.
Pia,
come on, drink something.
Come on, slowly.
Come on.
[sighs]
- [radio static]
- [man] Alpha, pick up.
They're in a guarded area.
At least six armed dirty units identified.
There are hostages
at seven o'clock of the cave,
guarded by at least two.
Copy that?
[radio static]
- This is Alpha. Copy that.
- [radio static]
[phone rings and vibrates]
[Grant] Above them, in control position,
waiting for the green light for contact.
[exhales through nose]
[inhales and sighs deeply]
[tense pulsating music plays]
Excellent. Leave the line open.
- [Grant] Copy that.
- [sighs]
Chameleon, this is Alpha.
Take the Humvee to the meeting point.
Come on, let's move.
Come on, let's go.
[tense music continues]
[Arik sighs]
[Grant] We're in position and ready.
Copy?
- Copy.
- [Grant] So, do I have the green light?
[tense music builds]
[music fades out]
[Amat] We are here together
so that the world may hear and see us.
We call out to our governments
in a shared plea,
from my heart to yours,
save our children.
Ma'am, a few days ago,
we saw you confronting Minister Shor.
What do you think
the government should do?
Everything to get our kids home to us.
[reporter 1] Including prisoner exchange?
Everything that is necessary
to bring them home.
Mrs Bakke, we've been made aware
that you are one of the Norwegians
who took part in the Oslo Accords in '93.
How does it feel now when your own child
has fallen victim to a situation
that was so naively papered over
in those agreements?
What kind of a rude question is that?
- You should be ashamed of yourself!
- [reporter 1] Mrs Bakke, please.
[sighs]
Well, probably,
a lot of mistakes were done in 1993.
But what the parties tried to do then
was to talk instead of fight.
I think that's something
that today's leaders could learn from.
- [Arik breathes heavily]
- [Grant] Do I have a green light?
You do.
Go.
[Grant] Copy that.
Mother, this is Alpha.
Whenever you're ready.
- [Mother] Roger.
- [radio static]
[silenced gunshot]
[Grant] Go ahead. Quietly.
[tense pulsating music plays]
[Arik inhales]
[sighs deeply]
[terrorist, in Arabic]
Yes, come out if you want.
[gunfire]
Khaled! Get out!
[gunshots ricochet]
[soldier 1] Go to the left! Go!
[terrorist shouts]
[hostages scream]
[Noa screams] I have to get out of here!
- [shrieks]
- [Nadav] Noa! Get down!
[Pia screaming]
[muffled scream]
Do we have confirmation the suspect
is behind the rock at seven o'clock?
Affirmative. I identified the hostages.
- Tamir!
- Yes.
Tamir and I are charging forward.
Cover us.
Three, two,
one!
[gunfire]
- [Noa screams]
- [rubble clatters]
[Grant] Alpha. I have a man down.
Repeat, man down. Cover me.
[gunfire]
[returning gunfire]
- [Grant] Go, go. Quickly, go!
- [soldier 2] Alpha, no!
[Noa] Pia!
[gasps] Pia!
[panting]
- [rapid gunfire]
- [Noa whimpering]
[Nadav] Okay. Okay, slowly! Slowly!
- [gunfire]
- [Nadav groans in pain]
- [rapid gunfire]
- [soldier 3] Alpha, this is Eagle.
I see 12 armed dirty units
coming from the north!
Need backup urgently!
[rapid gunfire]
- [soldier 4] Eagle, Alpha is in the air.
- [gunfire]
[Grant] Pull out! We're under fire!
[continuous rapid gunfire]
[tense music builds]
[under breath] Fuck.
[music crescendos]
[music fades out]
- [woman moans]
- [whip cracks]
[man, in deep voice] Monster.
