00:14:05,081 --> 00:14:09,623

of such economic cooperation.

185
00:14:09,706 --> 00:14:12,706
Perhaps if you could read it.

186
00:14:12,790 --> 00:14:15,623
Give me your
professional feedback.

187
00:14:24,790 --> 00:14:26,873
I would be honored.

We should meet again.

192
00:14:55,081 --> 00:14:58,373
To discuss economics.

193
00:14:58,456 --> 00:14:59,956

194
00:15:01,790 --> 00:15:06,706

I am told if we were
to meet in Oslo,

198
00:15:21,623 --> 00:15:24,164

Ahmed Qurie will come

How can you be sure
this man has even told Arafat
what he's doing?

221
00:16:35,206 --> 00:16:37,956
Because Arafat is fully
informed and behind this.

Directly.

-Do you not see
the impossibility

00:17:02,373 --> 00:17:03,915
in what you are proposing here?

234
00:17:03,997 --> 00:17:07,331
You're a junior minister,
and Terje's just a sociologist.

235
00:17:07,414 --> 00:17:10,206
Then that must be enough.

236
00:17:10,289 --> 00:17:13,581
Listen, we will say that
Terje's institute is hosting

Terje will ask a friend
to loan us his manor house.

we need you

to sign off on their visas.

244
00:17:35,331 --> 00:17:38,081
Jan. Jan, listen.

245
00:17:38,164 --> 00:17:40,997
No one else in the government
needs to know.

246

is protected.

Let's fucking do it.

it's all on you.
-Absolutely. Absolutely.

00:18:10,873 --> 00:18:14,081
-And don't tell the Americans.
-What are you talking about?

253
00:18:14,164 --> 00:18:16,081
What are we going to tell them?
"Hello. Nothing has happened,

254
00:18:16,164 --> 00:18:17,581
and we, we just
wanted you to know."

255

Do you know what
their government
will do to ours

if we're caught meddling
in the Middle East?

257

Mona, how are we going
to keep things hidden

if the Americans are involved?

259
00:18:23,623 --> 00:18:24,915
Okay, this is a diplomatic

00:25:41,748 --> 00:25:44,206
And while we are here together,

361
00:25:44,289 --> 00:25:49,247
that must be our one
unbreakable rule.

362
00:25:50,915 --> 00:25:53,498
Now please, follow me.

363
00:25:57,456 --> 00:25:59,122
(door opens)

364
00:25:59,206 --> 00:26:02,039
In that room,
when the door is closed,

365
00:26:02,122 --> 00:26:04,039
you four will talk,

366
00:26:04,122 --> 00:26:06,164
you'll disagree, worse.

367
00:26:06,247 --> 00:26:07,873
But out here,
we'll share our meals.

368
00:26:07,956 --> 00:26:11,039
We'll talk of our families.
We'll light the fire.

369
00:26:11,122 --> 00:26:14,164
Because it's only in
the sharing of the personal

370
00:26:14,247 --> 00:26:18,247
that we can see each other
for who we truly are.

371

00:26:57,456 --> 00:27:01,581
Between our peoples
lies a vast ocean.

to cross before us

381
00:27:13,748 --> 00:27:14,997

all that you ask,

They propose Israel withdraw
all forces from Gaza.

414
00:29:38,081 --> 00:29:40,873
That the territory
will be turned over
to the Palestinians,

415
00:29:40,956 --> 00:29:43,956
who will govern it themselves.

416

They, they, they want
to go even further!

420
00:29:54,247 --> 00:29:57,122
They've brought an outline
for a declaration of principles

421

For the serving,

536
00:36:29,081 --> 00:36:32,581
first you spread
the whipped cream

537
00:36:32,665 --> 00:36:34,539
and the raspberry,

538
00:36:34,623 --> 00:36:37,414
and then you eat.

539
00:36:47,206 --> 00:36:48,831

it's time to upgrade,

in one two-day meeting,
it's beyond imagination,

Excellent.

615

it's time now to upgrade

616
00:43:43,581 --> 00:43:45,498
the Israeli delegation, yes?

no delegation to upgrade.

Look at it from the other side.

620
00:43:53,790 --> 00:43:55,748
These are ministers from the PLO

621
00:43:55,831 --> 00:43:57,122
who are risking their lives.

622
00:43:57,206 --> 00:43:59,623
Which as deputy foreign minister
of the State of Israel

623
00:43:59,706 --> 00:44:01,456
is none of my concern.

624
00:44:01,539 --> 00:44:03,373
We've got to give
them something.

625

Can I least tell them that
Peres is behind this?

00:44:11,790 --> 00:44:13,498
He doesn't know?

627
00:44:15,706 --> 00:44:18,247
What-- But you--

628
00:44:18,331 --> 00:44:21,122
-You told me--
-I told you what?

629
00:44:21,206 --> 00:44:23,956
Terje, when people talk to you,

630
00:44:24,039 --> 00:44:26,665
you should really pay attention
to what they actually say.

631
00:44:26,748 --> 00:44:30,414
And not just listen for
whatever you want to hear.

632
00:44:32,122 --> 00:44:34,289
If and when something occurs

633
00:44:34,373 --> 00:44:36,414
that I deem worthy enough

634
00:44:36,498 --> 00:44:38,706
to bring to the foreign
minister's attention,

635
00:44:38,790 --> 00:44:40,790
then he will know.

636
00:44:40,873 --> 00:44:45,289
For now, I and I alone know.

637
00:44:46,915 --> 00:44:49,997
Here I was worried
the Palestinians are
running a rogue operation.

638

-It turns out it's
the fucking Israelis.
-Yes.

639
00:44:52,456 --> 00:44:54,831
Well, things are a bit more
complicated than we thought.

640
00:44:54,915 --> 00:44:57,831
Complicated? Are you serious?

641
00:44:57,915 --> 00:45:00,581
Mona, you told me that
Peres was on board.

642
00:45:00,665 --> 00:45:02,831
And now Beilin is saying
the opposite.

643
00:45:02,915 --> 00:45:06,915
Look, I want to help
as much as you do.

644
00:45:06,997 --> 00:45:08,873
But we are government officials

645
00:45:08,997 --> 00:45:10,665
who could now be accused
of conspiring

646
00:45:10,748 --> 00:45:12,373
with another government's
official. We...

647
00:45:12,456 --> 00:45:15,706
We could be fired.
Jailed. Worse.

648
00:45:15,790 --> 00:45:18,623
Wait. Wait. What if
we're missing something?

649
00:45:19,831 --> 00:45:21,539
We're not telling Holst,

650
00:45:21,623 --> 00:45:24,706
in order to protect him
and the ministry.

651
00:45:24,790 --> 00:45:27,665
What if Beilin is just
doing the same?

652
00:45:27,748 --> 00:45:29,790
Look, the moment he tells Peres,

653
00:45:29,873 --> 00:45:31,915
Peres will have to tell
Prime Minister Rabin,

654
00:45:31,997 --> 00:45:33,915
and then things
will become official.

655
00:45:33,997 --> 00:45:35,831
And once they're official,

656
00:45:35,915 --> 00:45:37,665
then this whole channel is over.

657
00:45:38,873 --> 00:45:43,373
So, as long as Peres
remains in the dark,

658
00:45:43,456 --> 00:45:46,956
then Beilin can keep
pushing the process forward.

659
00:45:47,665 --> 00:45:49,623
See how far things go.

660
00:45:51,997 --> 00:45:54,122
Oh. I see.

661
00:45:57,289 --> 00:45:59,748
So then we push on.

662
00:45:59,831 --> 00:46:01,665
Right?

663
00:46:06,039 --> 00:46:07,748
One more meeting.

664
00:46:07,831 --> 00:46:10,331
Discreet. Under wraps.

665
00:46:11,539 --> 00:46:13,081
But Mona, we need an upgrade

666
00:46:13,164 --> 00:46:15,790
from the Israeli delegation,
or this won't work.

667
00:46:16,498 --> 00:46:18,581
Yeah, I know.

Palestinian civilians,

670

On one hand,

672
00:46:27,623 --> 00:46:30,915
we would like the Gazans
to work in Israel,

673
00:46:30,997 --> 00:46:32,414
because otherwise,

674
00:46:32,498 --> 00:46:34,706
they don't have
any source of income

675
00:46:34,790 --> 00:46:37,122
to sustain themselves.

676
00:46:37,206 --> 00:46:39,539
At the same time,
I am responsible

677
00:46:39,623 --> 00:46:42,289
for the security
of the people of Israel.

678
00:46:42,373 --> 00:46:45,289
And how to mitigate
between the two,

679
00:46:45,373 --> 00:46:47,873
this is the key problem.

680
00:46:47,956 --> 00:46:49,289
Beilin (over phone):
For God's sake, Terje,

681
00:46:49,373 --> 00:46:51,665
our people are being
murdered in the streets!

682

hounded from office.
-Yossi-- Yossi, I understand.

684

I more than understand.
I empathize.

685

something on the table
of substance,

689
00:47:09,039 --> 00:47:10,915

hang in the balance!

700
00:47:42,790 --> 00:47:46,331

-What?
-She's met with the son
from the little country,

709
00:48:03,289 --> 00:48:06,039
and she made him promise
that if you return to Oslo,

710
00:48:06,122 --> 00:48:07,915
then they'll send an upgrade.

711
00:48:07,997 --> 00:48:09,206
Guaranteed.

712
00:48:09,289 --> 00:48:11,790
-Qurie: Mona has done this?
-Yeah.

713
00:48:13,122 --> 00:48:15,331
Qurie:
Swear it to me, Larsen.

714
00:48:15,414 --> 00:48:17,456
On the soul of your wife.

715
00:48:17,539 --> 00:48:20,790
I swear on the soul of my wife.

716
00:48:25,331 --> 00:48:26,873
You've got to trust me.

717
00:48:26,956 --> 00:48:29,164
Qurie:
I trust Mona.

718
00:48:29,247 --> 00:48:31,915
Without her, you are nothing.

719
00:48:31,997 --> 00:48:34,206
Book the flight.

720
00:48:34,289 --> 00:48:35,790
Thank you.

721
00:48:37,831 --> 00:48:39,539
-(phone clicks in cradle)
-Mona: Ahem.

722
00:48:39,623 --> 00:48:41,456
Whoo.

723
00:48:44,164 --> 00:48:45,498
(clacks)

724
00:48:53,414 --> 00:48:56,748
Do you have any idea
what you have done?

725
00:48:56,831 --> 00:49:01,039
You have promised
something I cannot do.

726
00:49:01,122 --> 00:49:03,206
-But Yossi will upgrade.
-How do you know that?

727
00:49:03,289 --> 00:49:06,206
-Because, Mona. He will.
-That's not an answer, Terje.

728
00:49:06,289 --> 00:49:08,081
Okay, darling,

729
00:49:08,164 --> 00:49:10,122
just look at all we've achieved.

730
00:49:10,206 --> 00:49:11,748
That you have now jeopardized
by your recklessness.

731
00:49:11,831 --> 00:49:13,581
By your total disregard
of everything we agreed to.

732
00:49:13,665 --> 00:49:15,665
A hundred years of hatred
and bloodshed teetering
on the cusp of change.

733
00:49:15,748 --> 00:49:17,081
We've gotta do
whatever it takes.

734
00:49:17,164 --> 00:49:19,331
Except lying to them, Terje!

735
00:49:19,414 --> 00:49:22,247
-Only a bungling amateur lies.
-Oh, God.

736
00:49:22,331 --> 00:49:24,873
You are so fucking Norwegian!

737
00:49:24,956 --> 00:49:27,247
Everything is a fucking problem.

738
00:49:27,331 --> 00:49:29,247
Everything is an objection!

739
00:49:29,331 --> 00:49:31,164
I am on the phone with
them day and night,

740
00:49:31,247 --> 00:49:32,706
fighting to stay on my feet,

741
00:49:32,790 --> 00:49:35,456
and all you want me to do
is sink to my fucking knees!

742
00:49:35,539 --> 00:49:37,873
This is finished, Terje.

743
00:49:40,915 --> 00:49:42,331
It's finished.

744
00:49:52,706 --> 00:49:55,039
Unless we do one thing.

745
00:49:59,748 --> 00:50:01,081
What?

746
00:50:02,164 --> 00:50:04,581
Tell Holst what we are doing.

747
00:50:05,915 --> 00:50:10,331
-No. No, Mona.
He's a megalomaniac.
-Yes.

748
00:50:10,414 --> 00:50:14,997
And now, that megalomaniac
is exactly what we need.

749
00:50:15,081 --> 00:50:17,790
Holst does nothing
in half measures.

750
00:50:17,873 --> 00:50:19,498
If we can convince him,

751
00:50:19,581 --> 00:50:22,748
he'll throw the full weight
of the ministry behind us.

752
00:50:22,831 --> 00:50:25,331
He will help us
get that upgrade,

753
00:50:25,414 --> 00:50:28,414
and then we will
make this happen.

754
00:50:33,164 --> 00:50:35,247
Larsen:
You...

755
00:50:36,206 --> 00:50:37,748
are the most extraordinary woman

756
00:50:37,831 --> 00:50:39,665
-who has ever lived.
-No, Terje, we don't
have time for this.

757
00:50:39,748 --> 00:50:41,414
-There are no words...
-Terje, we don't have
time for this.

758
00:50:41,498 --> 00:50:44,456
-to describe how
wonderful you are.
-Stop talking. Stop talking.

759
00:50:44,539 --> 00:50:48,164
(both giggling)

760
00:50:48,247 --> 00:50:51,581
The violation of protocol
has been totally inappropriate.

761
00:50:51,665 --> 00:50:54,039
-I agree.
-My God, the risks.

762
00:50:54,122 --> 00:50:55,873
Not even a security detail.

763
00:50:55,956 --> 00:50:57,665
That was Larsen's idea.

764
00:50:57,748 --> 00:51:00,373
Driving alone,
middle of the night.
Rental cars.

765
00:51:00,456 --> 00:51:03,247
-Again Larsen.
-Mmm.

766
00:51:03,331 --> 00:51:04,790
Minister Holst,

767
00:51:04,873 --> 00:51:08,997
in but one meeting,
the Israelis and ourselves

768
00:51:09,081 --> 00:51:12,581
have made progress
beyond all hopes.

769
00:51:13,581 --> 00:51:15,373
With your support,

770
00:51:15,456 --> 00:51:16,956
our secret channel

771
00:51:17,039 --> 00:51:19,623
will continue to feed
fresh water

772
00:51:19,706 --> 00:51:23,623
to the official
Washington-sponsored talks.

773
00:51:28,997 --> 00:51:33,039
You are your nation's
greatest statesman.

774
00:51:33,122 --> 00:51:37,289
Only you can move
our two peoples towards

775
00:51:37,373 --> 00:51:39,790
a true and lasting peace.

776
00:51:43,498 --> 00:51:44,790
(glass thuds on table)

777
00:51:46,915 --> 00:51:48,831
(sighs)

778
00:51:50,122 --> 00:51:51,331
At all further meetings,

779
00:51:51,414 --> 00:51:54,456
there will be an elite,
two-man security detail

780
00:51:54,539 --> 00:51:55,831
chosen by me.

781
00:51:55,915 --> 00:51:57,122
Agreed.

782
00:51:57,206 --> 00:51:59,331
My deputy, Jan Egeland,

783
00:51:59,414 --> 00:52:02,873
-will run all further liaisons
between the PLO and--
-No!

784
00:52:03,623 --> 00:52:05,414
It must be Larsen.

785
00:52:05,498 --> 00:52:07,831
His ways are strange,

786
00:52:07,915 --> 00:52:10,164
but through his methods,

787
00:52:10,247 --> 00:52:14,790
we have begun a true dialogue
between our peoples.

788
00:52:14,873 --> 00:52:17,956
If we are to succeed,
it must be him,

789
00:52:18,039 --> 00:52:22,456
for this one speaks truth
to both sides.

790
00:52:22,539 --> 00:52:25,706
He does not lie.

791
00:52:25,790 --> 00:52:29,247
-Do you, Larsen?
-No.

792
00:52:30,498 --> 00:52:32,498
Thank you, Minister Holst.

793
00:52:32,581 --> 00:52:34,748
-We will meet again.
-Thank you.

794
00:52:39,706 --> 00:52:42,414

Nice to have another
professor with us.

Welcome. Hope you
enjoyed your flight.

798
00:52:56,164 --> 00:52:58,997
Such a pleasure
to meet you.
An honor. Truly.

799
00:52:59,081 --> 00:53:02,456
Your security detail
is calling attention.
Send them on ahead.

800
00:53:02,539 --> 00:53:05,122
Yes, um, sorry. Uh...

Hirschfeld:
Are there any details
you'd like us to brief you on?

802

Obviously, a great
distance still to go,

803
00:53:11,539 --> 00:53:13,414
but as you heard from Yossi,

804
00:53:13,498 --> 00:53:15,873
the progress--
it's been dizzying.

805
00:53:15,956 --> 00:53:20,456
We should be sitting down,
ah? (chuckles)

806
00:53:20,539 --> 00:53:22,414

who wish to drive us
into the sea.

839
00:56:24,623 --> 00:56:27,873
You killed our athletes
in Munich.

840
00:56:27,956 --> 00:56:31,206
Murdered our school children
in Ma'alot,

841
00:56:31,289 --> 00:56:35,539
invaded us
and spilled our blood
on Yom Kippur,

842
00:56:35,623 --> 00:56:38,706
the highest holy day we have.

843
00:56:38,790 --> 00:56:40,873
So you will understand
when I say

844
00:56:40,956 --> 00:56:46,289
that we do not view you as
ideal partners for peace.

845
00:56:49,956 --> 00:56:53,122
In my country,
we see you as a savage nation,

846
00:56:53,206 --> 00:56:56,456
whose army shoots our children
for sport.

847
00:56:58,498 --> 00:57:01,706
Your people persecuted
for your faith--

848
00:57:01,790 --> 00:57:05,581
murdered in Pogroms,
fled to Palestine,

849
00:57:05,665 --> 00:57:08,581
where you were
left alone to pray,

850
00:57:08,665 --> 00:57:11,790
and strive, and grow strong.

851
00:57:11,873 --> 00:57:14,081
And when you became strong,

852
00:57:14,164 --> 00:57:15,623
you burned our homes,

853
00:57:15,706 --> 00:57:18,665
drove a million people
from Palestine,

854
00:57:18,748 --> 00:57:20,331
and claim to this day

855
00:57:20,414 --> 00:57:24,206
that there was never
such a thing as Palestine!

856
00:57:26,206 --> 00:57:31,748
So, you will understand
our mistrust of you

857
00:57:31,831 --> 00:57:34,665
as ideal partners for peace.

858
00:57:39,665 --> 00:57:41,623
Okay.

859
00:57:41,706 --> 00:57:45,997
Now that we've both
swung our dicks,

860
00:57:46,081 --> 00:57:47,915
let me say this.

861
00:57:50,206 --> 00:57:53,206
We are tired of being
at war with you.

862
00:57:56,331 --> 00:58:00,164
We are committed to ending
the cycle of violence
and enmity.

863
00:58:00,247 --> 00:58:02,373
But I want to be clear.

864
00:58:02,456 --> 00:58:05,456
Israel will not sacrifice
its security.

865
00:58:05,539 --> 00:58:08,456
And you will never have
that security, Mr. Savir,

866
00:58:08,539 --> 00:58:11,581
until you make peace with us.

867
00:58:11,665 --> 00:58:13,247
For our region of the world

868
00:58:13,331 --> 00:58:16,831
will never accept you
until we accept you.

869
00:58:26,498 --> 00:58:29,331
Much of this,
we are willing to discuss.

870
00:58:29,414 --> 00:58:30,831
But let me be clear.

871
00:58:30,915 --> 00:58:33,456
Israel will not negotiate
over the sovereignty

872
00:58:33,539 --> 00:58:34,873
of the city of Jerusalem.

873
00:58:34,956 --> 00:58:37,831
We will never relinquish
our right to Jerusalem,

874
00:58:37,915 --> 00:58:40,623
just as we will never
relinquish our right

875
00:58:40,706 --> 00:58:42,539
to a Palestinian state.

876
00:58:42,623 --> 00:58:44,581
The possibility of
a Palestinian state

877
00:58:44,665 --> 00:58:46,915
without Jerusalem as its capital

878
00:58:46,997 --> 00:58:48,498
is a viable topic,

879
00:58:48,581 --> 00:58:51,498
if you're willing to drop
your further impossible demand

880
00:58:51,581 --> 00:58:53,623
that all issues not
resolved in this DOP

881
00:58:53,706 --> 00:58:56,081
be referred to third-party
international arbitration.

882
00:58:56,164 --> 00:58:58,748
You are Goliath to our David!

883
00:58:58,831 --> 00:59:01,164
A neutral arbitrator
is essential.

884
00:59:01,247 --> 00:59:04,915
Give me one country
that voluntary cedes
national sovereignty,

885
00:59:04,997 --> 00:59:06,539
like you're proposing we do.

886
00:59:06,623 --> 00:59:09,331

European Union
comes to mind.

887
00:59:09,414 --> 00:59:12,706

888
00:59:12,790 --> 00:59:14,373

00:59:14,456 --> 00:59:16,956
or we can start to
get something done.

890
00:59:17,039 --> 00:59:19,706
Now, we are willing to
relinquish control of Gaza--

891
00:59:19,790 --> 00:59:22,373

on condition that you

892

of Jericho to us

895
00:59:28,665 --> 00:59:30,873
Gaza alone would
make us an island,

of Israeli forces.

for our security,

899

to give you control of a city

Your country divides
my people in two!

00:59:49,414 --> 00:59:52,206
So we must have
a foothold in Gaza

904
