-NESSA STEIN:

-'Who do you trust?'

-Samir Meshal. He's dead. Suicide.

0:00:060:00:10

'How do you know?'

0:00:100:00:10

The Israeli Government has, er, had no hand in this.

0:00:100:00:14

Nessa Stein.

0:00:140:00:15

Not quite the woman she appears to be.

0:00:150:00:19

'By how they appear?'

0:00:190:00:20

DOOR SLAMS

0:00:200:00:22

Kasim!

0:00:220:00:23

'What they do?'

0:00:230:00:25

Seven years ago, The Stein Group launched its first phase

0:00:250:00:29

of the telecommunications roll-out into the Palestinian territories.

0:00:290:00:33

How come it was Ephra Stein that launched it and not his sister?

0:00:330:00:37

Lay the cable. And when they're down,

0:00:370:00:39

there's something else we want you to do.

0:00:390:00:42

How come he was in the lead back then,

0:00:420:00:45

but now their roles are reversed?

0:00:450:00:47

If it gets your sister out,

0:00:470:00:49

you'll have to step down as head of the company

0:00:490:00:52

and then you have to put Nessa in your place.

0:00:520:00:53

What does she want Nessa Stein to achieve?

0:00:530:00:55

Equality of opportunity between Palestine and Israel.

0:00:550:00:58

Jalal El-Amin. To what do I owe this honour?

0:00:580:01:01

Your third-phase cabling contract into the West Bank.

0:01:010:01:05

We're now in a position to bid for this.

0:01:050:01:09

TRANSLATED FROM HEBREW:

0:01:090:01:11

Your sister's kidnapping, the child's kidnapping, your academy -

0:01:240:01:28

I think it's all connected.

0:01:280:01:29

It's a wiretap, Mr Zahary.

0:01:290:01:32

You asked me to trust you!

0:01:320:01:33

And you should, you should!

0:01:330:01:35

Not this time.

0:01:350:01:37

For Christ's sake, Nessa.

0:01:370:01:39

One thread to pull it all together. And all I have to do is find it.

0:01:390:01:43

'So, when you think about it like that...'

0:01:430:01:45

Nessa Stein's leaving her house.

0:01:450:01:47

Alone.

0:01:480:01:49

'..it's a wonder we trust anyone at all.'

0:01:500:01:52

This programme contains strong language, scenes which some viewers may find disturbing

0:01:520:02:01

and some scenes of a sexual nature from the start.

0:02:010:02:08

SHE GROANS

0:02:340:02:36

Do you have a bed at least?

0:02:390:02:41

Not for you.

0:02:410:02:42

OK, I'm used to a sofa.

0:02:440:02:46

How about the floor?

0:02:480:02:50

You might have to warm me up a bit first.

0:02:520:02:55

Maybe I want you cold.

0:02:560:02:57

Aah...

0:02:590:03:00

NESSA MOANS

0:03:100:03:11

Now I want you to try and get out.

0:03:180:03:21

I don't know if I want to play this game.

0:03:340:03:36

Who said it was a game?

0:03:360:03:37

I know you.

0:03:470:03:49

I knew you the minute I first saw you.

0:03:490:03:52

OK.

0:03:530:03:54

So how do you think you're going to look on TV

0:03:560:03:59

after I've broken your nose?

0:03:590:04:00

Don't break my nose.

0:04:000:04:02

Not a good look for all those good deeds?

0:04:030:04:05

I said the fucking floor.

0:04:080:04:10

I bet you've been doing this for years, haven't you?

0:04:180:04:22

SHE LAUGHS

0:04:230:04:24

And you've always got away with it...

0:04:250:04:27

..because people didn't know who you were.

0:04:290:04:31

But now they do...

0:04:360:04:38

SHE GASPS ..and you didn't think about that, did you?

0:04:400:04:44

SHE MOANS

0:04:440:04:46

Big, clever girl.

0:04:460:04:48

Still, I bet it won't happen again, will it?

0:04:490:04:53

So I'd better make the most of it.

0:04:540:04:56

Let me go.

0:04:560:04:58

Baroness Stein...

0:05:000:05:02

Let me go.

0:05:020:05:03

No!

0:05:050:05:06

Modeh ani l'faneykha.

0:05:320:05:34

ATIKA: Don't be afraid.

0:05:470:05:48

KASIM: I'm safe.

0:05:510:05:54

-NESSA, TEARFULLY:

-I can't do this.

0:05:540:05:56

ATIKA: If it's the price... for a nation.

PHONE RINGS

0:06:510:06:53

Hello?

0:06:570:06:59

Nessa Stein?

0:07:120:07:13

SHE LAUGHS

0:07:130:07:15

Er, my, my name's Max Boorman, we need to get you to hospital.

0:07:180:07:23

Go away.

0:07:230:07:24

You need help.

0:07:240:07:25

I know who you work for. Go away.

0:07:250:07:27

-You need help.

-You think(?)

0:07:270:07:30

We need to get you to a hospital.

0:07:320:07:34

-SHE LAUGHS

-No hospitals.

0:07:370:07:40

No, no, no, no. Somewhere private. I can take you somewhere private.

0:07:400:07:43

Ah, so what, they'll sell the story to The Telegraph instead of The Sun?

0:07:430:07:49

No-one's selling any stories.

0:07:490:07:51

Why? Are they bound by the Official Secrets Act?

0:07:530:07:57

Er, something like that.

0:07:570:07:59

It owns them.

0:07:590:08:00

And not a damn thing they can do about it.

0:08:030:08:05

DOOR OPENS

0:08:110:08:14

DOOR CLOSES

0:08:170:08:19

Baroness Stein.

0:08:370:08:38

SHE LAUGHS

0:08:380:08:41

(Fuck's sake.)

0:08:500:08:52

His name's Tom Crace.

0:08:520:08:54

He's an accountant with two HMRC investigations pending.

0:08:550:08:59

Married 11 years, two children - youngest, two, a girl, Melanie.

0:09:000:09:05

The flat he attacked you in belongs to his company.

0:09:070:09:10

There's a culture of casual sex and blind eyes.

0:09:100:09:13

But not for rape.

0:09:130:09:15

That's off books -

0:09:160:09:18

even for a bent accountant.

0:09:180:09:20

He's tidying up now. A blood sample's been taken.

0:09:220:09:24

He says he's not got HIV or Heps

0:09:240:09:28

or anything.

0:09:280:09:30

You arrested him?

0:09:310:09:32

Do you want us to?

0:09:320:09:35

No.

0:09:390:09:40

Sure?

0:09:410:09:42

Mm-hm.

0:09:450:09:46

So, you'll be given a number to call in 48 hours

0:09:470:09:50

for the full plethora of results.

0:09:500:09:52

You need to give me a code word.

0:09:520:09:55

Fucking idiot.

0:09:560:09:57

Atika.

0:10:010:10:02

A-T-I-K...

0:10:020:10:06

Doesn't matter - you just have to say it when you phone.

0:10:060:10:09

A-T-I-K-A.

0:10:090:10:14

OK.

0:10:190:10:20

Let's get you home.

0:10:220:10:23

I know what happened...

0:10:330:10:34

..in Gaza...

0:10:350:10:37

..to you and Atika.

0:10:380:10:39

Can I ask you a question?

0:10:470:10:49

You're going to anyway, so just do it.

0:10:500:10:53

What happened tonight, has it happened before?

0:10:540:10:57

Did it happen then?

0:10:590:11:01

What does it say in my file?

0:11:010:11:03

It doesn't.

0:11:050:11:06

Why do you need to know?

0:11:080:11:10

I want to help.

0:11:120:11:14

You want to help me or you?

0:11:150:11:17

Both of us.

0:11:210:11:22

All you spies need to co-ordinate better.

0:11:260:11:29

Co-ordinate with who?

0:11:310:11:33

With your colleague - Monica Chatwin.

0:11:330:11:36

I wouldn't say she's a colleague.

0:11:390:11:41

More a competitor.

0:11:420:11:44

Ah.

0:11:440:11:46

So she wants your job.

0:11:460:11:47

Unless, maybe...

0:11:490:11:52

you help me out a little.

0:11:520:11:54

Why would I want to do that?

0:11:550:11:57

Oh, my God!

0:12:040:12:05

I was hit by a car.

0:12:070:12:09

Deliberately?

0:12:120:12:14

What?

0:12:150:12:16

Who hit you?

0:12:170:12:19

Frances, aren't you supposed to be in Tel Aviv?

0:12:210:12:24

-(There's something you need to see.)

-What?

0:12:270:12:30

BROADCAST IN HEBREW:

0:12:310:12:33

OK.

0:12:390:12:40

Thank you.

0:12:410:12:43

It's been claimed.

0:12:470:12:48

Who by?

0:12:490:12:50

Samarian Defence League.

0:12:500:12:52

Yaniv Levi.

0:12:560:12:58

You've heard of him?

0:12:580:12:59

Horrible...

0:13:020:13:03

..horrible Israeli terrorist.

0:13:040:13:06

Mm, he's a very bad boy.

0:13:070:13:09

Why did they kill him?

0:13:090:13:11

Pro-Palestinian statements to the press

0:13:120:13:16

intent on exposing Israeli corruption.

0:13:160:13:18

Our institution's not corrupt.

0:13:180:13:20

Except that's not what he found, is it?

0:13:230:13:25

But it isn't.

0:13:270:13:28

Who told you that?

0:13:280:13:30

Your brother?

0:13:300:13:31

Because he runs that side of things now, doesn't he?

0:13:340:13:36

Has done for, what, seven years?

0:13:360:13:40

And do you trust him?

0:13:400:13:42

He's my brother.

0:13:420:13:43

That's not what I asked.

0:13:430:13:45

Yes, it is.

0:13:460:13:48

So you think if he'd been targeted covertly by the Israeli military,

0:13:490:13:52

he'd have had the strength to stand up to them?

0:13:520:13:55

All on his own.

0:13:560:13:57

He's not on his own.

0:13:570:13:59

Mmm... He's got me.

0:14:010:14:03

Couldn't that be the problem?

0:14:030:14:05

What if he wishes he was?

0:14:080:14:10

What if he wanted to feel he was in control of things again,

0:14:110:14:14

like he used to be, before his little sister took his job?

0:14:140:14:18

He didn't want it.

0:14:180:14:19

And why was that?

0:14:190:14:21

Are you trying to help?

0:14:220:14:24

Oh, yeah, I really am.

0:14:240:14:26

Doesn't feel like it.

0:14:280:14:29

Feels like you're trying to put a split

0:14:310:14:34

right in the heart of this business.

0:14:340:14:36

Unless it's already there.

0:14:360:14:38

-SHE SIGHS

-Oh, I need to rest.

0:14:420:14:45

What about the press?

0:14:480:14:50

I'll do it.

0:14:530:14:55

Looking like that?

0:14:550:14:57

Give it to your brother.

0:15:000:15:02

Although, be careful,

0:15:020:15:03

that's a lot of pressure.

0:15:030:15:06

Are you sure he can take it?

0:15:060:15:07

-What are you trying to prove?

-My point.

0:15:090:15:11

But you don't have to answer.

0:15:110:15:13

I'll just wait until I see who you decide to put in front of the camera.

0:15:140:15:17

-Kasim's kidnappers...

-What?

0:15:260:15:29

You don't think this is connected?

0:15:330:15:34

Do you?

0:15:340:15:36

When it comes to Israel and Palestine...

0:15:360:15:39

isn't everything?

0:15:390:15:41

Thank you for taking me home.

0:15:460:15:49

SHE WINCES

0:15:550:15:56

LOCKS CLATTER

0:16:340:16:36

Obviously, this tragic event is of huge concern

0:16:410:16:44

to the Stein Foundation and to the Kidma Academy.

0:16:440:16:47

But at this point, I am sure you'll understand,

0:16:470:16:50

it is not appropriate for us to make any comment

0:16:500:16:52

on anything until the facts of this situation are completely understood.

0:16:520:16:57

Except, of course, for us to reiterate

0:16:570:17:00

our heartfelt condolences to Shimon Ben-Reuven's family -

0:17:000:17:03

the private expressions of which, I'm sure you will agree,

0:17:030:17:07

should remain just that.

0:17:070:17:08

-MAN:

-Was he murdered?

0:17:090:17:10

CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICK

0:17:100:17:13

JALAL EL-AMIN: Your person is making a statement to the press?

0:17:170:17:20

Yes.

0:17:200:17:22

Denouncing these terrible things, I'm sure.

0:17:220:17:24

What happened was undeniably a tragedy.

0:17:260:17:28

We're not yet in a position to pinpoint exactly the cause.

0:17:280:17:32

Your academy was in cahoots with the IDF.

0:17:340:17:36

We can't say that for sure.

0:17:370:17:39

I can reassure you, without a doubt,

0:17:390:17:42

that if we discover anything to support that claim,

0:17:420:17:45

I will condemn the academy without reservation.

0:17:450:17:48

IF you discover? Isn't that exactly what this teacher's done?

0:17:490:17:54

What else got him killed?

0:17:540:17:55

It appears to be because of the comments that he made to the press.

0:17:550:17:59

We don't know yet if what he said was true.

0:17:590:18:02

Yaniv Levi is an Israeli attack dog...

0:18:020:18:05

and they just let him off the leash.

0:18:050:18:07

We don't know that. Not yet.

0:18:080:18:11

-I

-know it. Someone had to pay him.

0:18:110:18:14

I'm not sure he's a gun for hire.

0:18:140:18:16

He always has a price, of course he does. What Jew doesn't?

0:18:170:18:21

-SHE SIGHS

-The contract you're bidding for.

0:18:240:18:27

For obvious reasons,

0:18:300:18:32

the companies we work with need to be scrupulously neutral.

0:18:320:18:36

HE SCOFFS

0:18:360:18:38

A comment like the one you just made could devastate our activities.

0:18:380:18:42

Which brings me to the background check

0:18:420:18:46

I've had drawn up on your company.

0:18:460:18:49

It doesn't exactly make for an even-handed read, does it?

0:18:500:18:53

It doesn't matter.

0:18:570:18:58

Well, it matters to me.

0:18:590:19:01

It doesn't matter what I say or what you read there.

0:19:010:19:05

You're going to give me the contract.

0:19:060:19:08

No, Jalal El-Amin, I'm not.

0:19:080:19:11

Yes, you are.

0:19:120:19:13

Because then your secret will be safe.

0:19:130:19:17

Mm...

0:19:210:19:23

SHE SIGHS

0:19:250:19:27

Why have you taken so long?

0:19:320:19:34

We didn't expect to have to do this.

0:19:370:19:39

(To take a child.)

0:19:400:19:41

-Replace Samir Meshal.

-And what is he supposed to do?

0:19:420:19:46

We need a Palestinian standing by your side.

0:19:460:19:48

-Looking over my shoulder.

-Yes.

0:19:480:19:51

Why?

0:19:520:19:53

Because we have to be certain.

0:19:530:19:55

Of what?

0:19:550:19:56

That you are everything you say.

0:19:580:20:01

TRANSLATED FROM HEBREW:

0:20:120:20:14

Mr Zahary.

0:20:150:20:16

Looks like we're flying out together.

0:20:190:20:21

How did you find that out?

0:20:250:20:27

Luck! Lady Luck!

0:20:270:20:29

She's been chasing me all my life...

0:20:290:20:32

brazen hussy!

0:20:320:20:33

My daughter.

0:20:330:20:35

Would you please be so kind as to offer me

0:20:360:20:38

one of your pomegranate shakes?

0:20:380:20:40

No ice, please, and a straw.

0:20:400:20:42

It's good for the grey cells, pomegranate, stops you going gaga.

0:20:430:20:48

We shouldn't be talking, Mr Zahary.

0:20:480:20:50

Oh, the fuck?

0:20:500:20:52

I once got caught in Sao Paulo in fog.

0:20:520:20:55

For six whole hours, I did nothing but talk to Nazis.

0:20:550:21:00

Thank you, darling.

0:21:010:21:02

You see, people think I'm very stupid...

0:21:070:21:11

I'm sure they don't.

0:21:110:21:12

Oh, no, no, they do, they do - on the technical side of things,

0:21:120:21:16

they think I don't know my Tier IIIs from my PSTNs

0:21:160:21:19

to my PABXs...and, let's face it, it is fucking boring.

0:21:190:21:25

But I'm going to let you in on a secret now.

0:21:250:21:28

I do know.

0:21:310:21:32

Everything.

0:21:340:21:35

But I don't allow them to know that I know

0:21:350:21:39

because then I can look at them

0:21:390:21:41

without THEM knowing that I really do.

0:21:410:21:45

-You follow me?

-I think so.

0:21:450:21:48

OK, so let me say this in plain English,

0:21:480:21:51

so we don't have to speak in capital letters,

0:21:510:21:53

even though now you know that I can.

0:21:530:21:57

That sniffer you've found - is it still up and running?

0:21:570:22:00

Yes.

0:22:000:22:01

So whoever's listening doesn't know that you've found it.

0:22:010:22:06

Correct.

0:22:060:22:07

Good.

0:22:070:22:09

So what that device does is it duplicates all the information

0:22:090:22:13

that goes along the mother line

0:22:130:22:15

and then this material is re-routed back into the system

0:22:150:22:18

until, eventually, it reaches the decoders of whoever's listening.

0:22:180:22:23

Am I right?

0:22:230:22:25

You're right.

0:22:260:22:27

See?

0:22:300:22:31

So, do you know why I'm a billionaire?

0:22:340:22:38

Cos everything, every single thing on a telecommunications network,

0:22:390:22:44

is monetarised.

0:22:440:22:46

Every little bit of traffic that uses a line

0:22:460:22:48

is paid for by someone, somewhere.

0:22:480:22:51

And in order for that to be done,

0:22:510:22:54

every single one of those lines has to have a number.

0:22:540:22:59

Now, do you know who does the itemised billing

0:23:000:23:03

for all those millions of numbers?

0:23:030:23:05

My company.

0:23:070:23:09

So if you look into that sniffer,

0:23:090:23:13

you'll find the lines and the numbers that it uses

0:23:130:23:16

and then, if you give those numbers to me...

0:23:160:23:20

..I can find out who is paying the bill.

0:23:210:23:24

Does that make sense to you?

0:23:260:23:28

Ugh, truly, that is disgusting!

Nessa! The woman in black! Are you all right?

Oh, Ephra...

0:26:270:26:29

What?

0:26:290:26:31

You've ruined us!

0:26:320:26:34

Go inside, girls.

0:26:350:26:37

Did you let them put that listening thing on our lines?

0:26:380:26:42

Let them set up a secret department

0:26:440:26:47

to decode in our university?!

0:26:470:26:51

I had no choice!

0:26:510:26:53

Oh, no, because this secret owns YOU, does it?!

0:26:530:26:56

-That's what it cost to get you out! I got you out!

-You're blaming me?

0:26:560:27:00

-No, you're the one who went to Gaza.

-I went to Gaza

0:27:000:27:02

because other people were sending money there first.

0:27:020:27:04

Yeah, and I got him out, too.

0:27:040:27:06

Who?

0:27:060:27:08

The soldier.

0:27:120:27:13

No-one was going to help him, Nessa, no-one.

0:27:270:27:30

And no-one was going to help you either.

0:27:300:27:33

That makes you the big man, does it(?)

0:27:330:27:36

You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me.

0:27:360:27:38

With what, Ephra, with what?

0:27:400:27:43

You turned me into a puppet...

0:27:460:27:47

-and you never said a word.

-You've got secrets of your own, Nessa,

0:27:470:27:51

-nothing to do with me.

-I wouldn't have been there if not for you.

0:27:510:27:55

Want to know why they've taken the boy?

0:27:570:27:59

Because the Palestinians were suspicious

0:28:010:28:03

that this is what you and the Israelis were up to all along.

0:28:030:28:06

Oh, my God! It's true.

0:28:060:28:09

-You're blaming me for Kasim's kidnap?

-No!

0:28:090:28:12

They wanted Samir Meshal close enough to watch over us.

0:28:120:28:18

And so now they've got someone else.

0:28:180:28:21

Who?

0:28:210:28:22

Who do you think?

0:28:260:28:27

Oh, El-Amin...

0:28:270:28:30

And you want to know what my choice is?

0:28:300:28:32

I haven't got one.

0:28:340:28:35

Cos every fucking road on this leads back to you!

0:28:370:28:40

And I'm sorry. But I just wanted...

0:28:420:28:45

-What?

-Help...help...help...

0:28:450:28:46

What did you want? You wanted to be Papa?

0:28:460:28:48

-No!

-The great Eli Stein?

0:28:480:28:51

-Please...

-Look at you. You couldn't even be my brother.

0:28:510:28:56

You know what I think?

0:29:000:29:01

All this big "World Stage Reconciliation" stuff - why don't you

0:29:010:29:04

take a good, hard look at yourself first?

0:29:040:29:05

-Get that from your therapist?

-Well, tell me it isn't true.

0:29:050:29:08

What would you do if you met the man who ordered Papa's death?

0:29:080:29:11

Would you just give him a big hug, Nessa?

0:29:110:29:13

I certainly wouldn't stick a knife in his neck.

0:29:130:29:15

-Wouldn't you?

-Would YOU?

0:29:150:29:17

Yes, I would!

0:29:170:29:18

Well, then, whatever happens from now on,

0:29:260:29:29

you're no longer a part of it.

0:29:290:29:31

Nessa...

0:29:340:29:35

Fine, fine, get rid of me, then. Get rid of everyone.

0:29:360:29:40

But when you're standing there all on your own, ask yourself this -

0:29:400:29:44

was it them, or is it me?

0:29:440:29:45

We have absolutely no knowledge

0:30:170:30:20

of the group operating within your university.

0:30:200:30:23

None.

0:30:230:30:25

Do you know, there are moments in a diplomat's career, Daniel,

0:30:270:30:29

when the only thing to do is just to tell it straight.

0:30:290:30:32

We have absolutely no knowledge of the group...

0:30:320:30:35

Is it also your policy to allow military veterans into universities

0:30:350:30:39

at the expense of Israeli Arabs?

0:30:390:30:41

-We have absolutely no...

-Could you fucking shut up?

0:30:410:30:44

Is that how it is, to tell it straight?

0:30:470:30:49

SHE SIGHS

0:30:490:30:52

No.

0:30:540:30:56

THIS is how it is.

0:30:590:31:01

I've been set up as some kind of a front, haven't I,

0:31:030:31:06

seven years ago, by your government and my brother

0:31:060:31:09

and you've both colluded to make sure I never found out?

0:31:090:31:12

-We have absol...

-I haven't finished!

0:31:120:31:13

Now that I HAVE found out, this is what you're going to do about it.

0:31:130:31:17

One. Your government will continue to support

0:31:170:31:20

the Stein Group in all its activities.

0:31:200:31:23

From now on, there will be no preferment policy

0:31:230:31:25

in any institution to which my name is attached.

0:31:250:31:28

Two. As we speak, our entire cable network is being swept

0:31:280:31:33

and that will continue with your government's full support.

0:31:330:31:36

Three. If, for whatever reason, this happens in the future,

0:31:360:31:40

it doesn't matter what you do or what you say,

0:31:400:31:43

you will be doing it in public - because that's the stage I'll be on.

0:31:430:31:47

And believe me, I'm very good on a public stage.

0:31:470:31:52

SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

0:31:540:31:55

Now you can speak.

0:31:550:31:58

Your claim would damage you more than us,

0:32:000:32:03

-no matter what.

-You want to put that to the test?

0:32:030:32:05

Because, believe me, I've got nothing else to lose.

0:32:050:32:09

Your points have been noted, Miss Stein.

0:32:160:32:18

Not that it matters, but I am a baroness.

0:32:190:32:22

I was made one for my public efforts in international reconciliation.

0:32:220:32:26

My marriage status really doesn't come into it.

0:32:260:32:28

One last thing. Whoever I choose

0:32:300:32:32

as partner for the next phase of this project, you will support.

0:32:320:32:36

Who have you chosen?

0:32:360:32:38

Because of the recent, tragic loss of Samir Meshal,

0:32:410:32:44

the Stein Group has had to re-launch our search

0:32:440:32:47

for a partner on the Phase Three roll-out

0:32:470:32:50

of fibre-optic broadband into the Palestinian territories.

0:32:500:32:54

After an extensive process, I am delighted to announce

0:32:540:32:58

that Jalal El-Amin and Tahet Technology has won the contract

0:32:580:33:02

to share in the next stage of this exciting journey.

Whatever it is you think you're going to find, you won't.

0:33:440:33:47

It's gone. So's my brother.

0:33:470:33:49

-JALAL EL-AMIN: Good.

-So give the boy back.

0:33:490:33:52

Soon.

0:33:520:33:53

When?

0:33:540:33:56

Go to Hebron. Open Phase Three.

0:33:560:34:00

Do that and all will be well. Trust me.

0:34:000:34:03

All you have to do is shake my hand.

0:34:030:34:05

OK, same to you.

0:34:190:34:21

That was Monica Chatwin

0:34:210:34:24

calling to congratulate me on my brave choice of partner.

0:34:240:34:28

Well, maybe she should be advising you, then,

0:34:300:34:32

because you're certainly not listening to me.

0:34:320:34:34

It took your analyst, what,

0:34:340:34:36

three strokes of a keyboard to link the El-Amin family to the PLO?

0:34:360:34:39

-PLO run the Authority now.

-You know what I mean.

0:34:390:34:42

Where are we?

0:34:450:34:47

A sniffer on all international traffic

0:34:540:34:56

in and out of the Territories.

0:34:560:34:58

Are you sure the Israelis put it there?

0:35:000:35:03

Well, they'll deny it anyway.

0:35:030:35:05

And the Palestinians had suspicions of their own

0:35:060:35:08

so they decided to get a man in on the inside of the Stein Group.

0:35:080:35:11

Night before he left Washington,

0:35:130:35:15

Samir Meshal made a call into the Palestinian Territories.

0:35:150:35:19

It lasted four seconds, and whatever he said...

0:35:190:35:23

..someone heard.

0:35:240:35:26

And that got him killed.

0:35:260:35:27

Now, with him, his people had all the time they needed to discredit me

0:35:270:35:32

and put him in with Nessa.

0:35:320:35:35

But after they lost him, the new fucker - what's his name?

0:35:350:35:39

El-Amin. They had to be more blunt.

0:35:390:35:44

And take the child.

0:35:450:35:46

Is my guess.

0:35:470:35:48

Which is why she agreed to make him a partner -

0:35:480:35:51

-to get the boy back.

-Yeah.

0:35:510:35:54

All this for a housekeeper's kid?!

0:35:550:35:58

In a child's eyes, the world entire.

0:36:000:36:04

I wouldn't know, I don't have one.

0:36:040:36:06

This doesn't add up.

0:36:130:36:15

If the Palestinians were suspicious of the Steins,

0:36:150:36:18

why didn't they just say it out loud?

0:36:180:36:21

Maybe they want proof.

0:36:210:36:23

They're not going to get that. Not now.

0:36:230:36:25

Whatever it is they want,

0:36:250:36:27

they want it with Nessa Stein staying exactly where she is.

0:39:450:39:46

I didn't want it.

0:39:570:39:59

I didn't want any of it.

But those were my orders and I am a soldier and...

No.

0:40:160:40:18

Do you think you can do that?

0:40:190:40:20

Yeah, very good. Give it to me.

0:40:220:40:24

I have a boy your age.

0:40:300:40:32

I hope he is brave too.

HE SIGHS

0:40:450:40:47

HAYDEN-HOYLE: Just before he left America, and the day before he died,

0:40:550:40:59

Samir Meshal made a telephone call into the Palestinian territories.

0:40:590:41:03

Which your lot hear.

0:41:050:41:07

So, what did he say that meant you had to go and kill him?

0:41:100:41:14

We didn't kill him.

0:41:150:41:16

You've probably heard the rumour that I only got this job

0:41:230:41:27

because I slept with my boss.

0:41:270:41:29

No, I hadn't.

0:41:300:41:32

Oh, well, it's true, I did.

0:41:350:41:37

It cost me my marriage.

0:41:380:41:40

Well, what really cost me

0:41:420:41:43

was because actually my wife didn't think I stood for anything.

0:41:430:41:47

And the joke was, of course...

0:41:480:41:50

..I didn't have to because all I had to do was...

0:41:520:41:54

..lie down for it.

0:41:560:41:58

Anyway, I'm a biddable night-watchman, that's me.

0:42:000:42:04

And I know pretty soon someone's going to bowl me a googly

0:42:040:42:08

and I'll be out.

0:42:080:42:09

It's cricket. It's a cricket analogy.

0:42:110:42:13

I don't know why I said it, I don't even play the game.

0:42:130:42:15

But when that happens...

0:42:170:42:19

..when it's all over...

0:42:210:42:23

..I just want to be able to walk towards the pavilion thing,

0:42:250:42:30

you know...

0:42:300:42:32

..with my head held high.

0:42:330:42:35

Just for once.

0:42:380:42:39

I'd really like to do that, Judah.

0:42:410:42:43

I really would.

0:42:450:42:47

If that makes any sense.

0:42:520:42:54

We didn't kill Samir Meshal.

0:43:000:43:03

OK.

0:43:070:43:09

Someone else did.

0:43:090:43:11

We had heard something and we did want to pick him up,

0:43:150:43:18

but, er, we didn't get the chance.

0:43:180:43:20

-Because somebody else got there first.

-Yes.

-Who?

0:43:200:43:23

-Whoever else was listening.

-How would they do that?

0:43:240:43:27

We don't know.

0:43:270:43:29

What did you hear him say?

0:43:340:43:35

"She...has...agreed."

0:43:370:43:41

-That's it?

-That's it.

0:43:440:43:47

Who's "she"?

0:43:480:43:50

What did she agree to?

0:43:500:43:52

That's why I'm telling you.

0:43:520:43:54

But someone knows, and whoever it is,

0:43:550:43:58

they killed Samir Meshal.

0:43:580:44:00

Ah! Delicious!

0:44:140:44:17

So there is this service line.

0:44:200:44:23

It's used for software updates, maintenance, that sort of thing.

0:44:230:44:28

It's also another way in for someone to listen.

0:44:280:44:33

Piggy-backing onto the same device?

0:44:330:44:35

Seems so.

0:44:350:44:37

-Who?

-Well, you think I would have waited this long if I had that news?

0:44:390:44:44

There's no number attached to it, so we can't tell where it goes,

0:44:460:44:51

and it doesn't come back for billing.

0:44:510:44:54

So all we can say is that it goes through us,

0:44:540:44:58

and then...

0:44:580:45:00

HE WHISTLES AND SPEAKS IN YIDDISH

0:45:000:45:02

On its own sweet way.

0:45:020:45:05

Is it still live?

0:45:070:45:09

Mm-hm.

0:45:090:45:11

Good.

0:45:140:45:15

Then, let's switch it off.

0:45:160:45:18

No, you do that, the whole thing goes kaput.

0:45:180:45:21

(No, no, no...)

0:45:210:45:23

Like it's a technical fault, completely innocent.

0:45:230:45:27

Mm.

0:45:270:45:28

Then all we have to do is wait and see who comes to fix it.

0:45:280:45:34

Shouldn't take him a minute.

0:45:570:45:59

BEEPING

0:46:150:46:17

BEEPING

0:46:200:46:21

They're back on.

0:46:210:46:22

BEEPING

0:46:450:46:47

Let me know where they end up.

0:46:520:46:53

SLOW BEEPING

0:47:040:47:07

We'll get something new, I know we will.

0:47:110:47:14

And this time it won't be for anyone else -

0:47:140:47:17

not your father, your sister.

0:47:170:47:19

It'll just be for you.

0:47:210:47:23

And me.

0:47:230:47:24

And the girls.

0:47:260:47:27

You're a wonderful father, Ephra.

0:47:290:47:32

Don't let them see you like this.

0:47:320:47:34

I'm stuck in a loop, aren't I?

0:48:070:48:10

Playing Neil Diamond records?

0:48:100:48:12

Thinking about it.

0:48:120:48:14

Then, yes, you are.

0:48:140:48:16

I can change.

0:48:170:48:19

Would that involve black denim?

0:48:190:48:21

-It could if you wanted it to.

-I don't.

0:48:210:48:24

Then it won't.

0:48:240:48:25

Do you spy on me?

0:48:270:48:28

I mean, not like that...

0:48:290:48:32

I mean like this.

0:48:320:48:33

What a question!

0:48:340:48:36

I've just texted you the address of a restaurant.

0:48:390:48:44

Thursday, 8pm.

0:48:460:48:47

It'll be a window seat.

0:48:470:48:49

-Great.

-For you to spy on.

0:48:500:48:53

There's something I want you to see.

0:48:540:48:56

You'd better come and look at this.

0:49:190:49:21

Tell me it's not that fucking easy!

0:49:430:49:46

DOOR SHUTS

0:49:490:49:51

America.

0:50:010:50:02

May I say you look particularly fetching in that shade of blue?

0:50:020:50:06

The Americans killed Samir Meshal.

0:50:060:50:09

I thought we'd agreed to look away from that particular direction.

0:50:130:50:16

I did. I looked so far the other way

0:50:160:50:18

I seem to have come round full circle.

0:50:180:50:20

BEEP

0:50:240:50:25

I trust you don't need me to translate.

0:50:370:50:39

SHE REPLIES IN ARABIC

0:50:390:50:43

If only my arsehole were big enough.

0:50:440:50:46

Who did you get that from?

0:50:480:50:50

Really?

0:50:520:50:53

Who has agreed to what?

0:50:530:50:56

Ah, well, no, that bit I really can't tell because I simply don't know.

0:50:560:51:00

Don't go growing a pair of balls on me, Hugh, not at this late stage,

0:51:020:51:05

I might get jealous.

0:51:050:51:07

Do you think maybe that's why my hair's falling out?

0:51:070:51:10

I think what you're doing now could have a serious effect on your health.

0:51:100:51:13

As long as I have your support, Julia, I'm happy to live dangerously.

0:51:130:51:18

I do have your support...

0:51:190:51:22

..don't I?

0:51:250:51:26

Stay away from the Americans, Hugh.

0:51:290:51:31

Seriously.

0:51:310:51:32

Got a nice little Ivy League chancellorship hiding up your sleeve?

0:51:340:51:38

I have a strange concern for a long-term colleague

0:51:410:51:44

with whom I once used to sleep.

0:51:440:51:46

Oh.

0:51:480:51:49

Now, that IS a surprise.

0:51:500:51:52

Something will happen.

0:52:200:52:21

I'm sure it will.

0:52:210:52:23

Soon.

0:52:250:52:26

But if it was me...

0:52:290:52:31

..well...you know what it would be like if it was me.

0:52:330:52:37

There's something you should know.

0:52:470:52:49

How many other lies are you going to keep

0:52:550:52:57

-in this house?

-She shouldn't have told you.

0:52:570:52:59

And that's supposed to make me feel what?

0:52:590:53:01

-I only just found out myself.

-And you didn't tell me!

0:53:010:53:04

It wasn't mine to say!

0:53:040:53:05

Your own wife!

0:53:050:53:07

Which secret is the one you don't tell your own wife?

0:53:070:53:11

I have no secrets from you.

0:53:110:53:14

I tell you everything.

0:53:140:53:16

If your sister swore you to secrecy, you'd keep it, I know you would.

0:53:160:53:19

-The child belongs to her.

-Yes.

0:53:190:53:21

I wouldn't keep that secret, not that one.

0:53:210:53:23

Not when our whole life's been turned inside out because of it!

0:53:230:53:27

And why did SHE agree to it?

0:53:270:53:29

I don't know, Rachel! I don't know!

0:53:290:53:31

What those two have been through, we can't even begin to understand, can we?

0:53:320:53:36

I do, when it's wrecking my marriage.

0:53:360:53:38

It's not.

0:53:380:53:39

I said I'd support you, but what does that mean?

0:53:430:53:46

You lied to your sister.

0:53:490:53:51

You lied about your business.

0:53:510:53:53

You've lied about the Academy, you've lied to everyone. Ephra...

0:53:530:53:56

And now you've lied to me.

0:53:580:54:00

I'm the one who got them out, Rachel! Me! I got them out!

0:54:000:54:05

If I hadn't, they'd have died!

0:54:060:54:08

Do you understand that? They would have died!

0:54:090:54:12

And there's nothing you or anybody else could have done about it.

0:54:120:54:16

Except I did. I did!

0:54:160:54:17

And all this, all this shit...

0:54:190:54:21

this is what it cost me!

0:54:210:54:23

You shouldn't have lied to me.

0:54:260:54:28

Not under my own roof.

0:54:290:54:32

Have I caught you at a bad time?

0:54:420:54:44

What do you want?

0:54:440:54:45

What, no vampire comparisons?

0:54:450:54:49

Just...get on with it.

0:54:490:54:51

OK.

0:54:530:54:54

I know what you did.

0:54:560:54:57

To get your sister out of Gaza,

0:54:590:55:01

the Israelis nailed you for a sniffer on your cables

0:55:010:55:04

and a listening unit within your Academy.

0:55:040:55:07

That's quite a price to pay.

0:55:110:55:13

It was worth it.

0:55:150:55:17

That must be hard...

0:55:230:55:24

..to be a hero that nobody thanks.

0:55:250:55:28

Tell that to my wife.

0:55:290:55:31

Yes, well, not many people will understand.

0:55:320:55:35

But you do.

0:55:370:55:39

Nothing I've done...

0:55:420:55:44

I can ever say it was worth it.

0:55:440:55:47

But I'd like to.

0:55:530:55:54

Even now.

0:55:560:55:57

What is it that you want?

0:56:000:56:01

Who else did you tell? About the wiretap?

0:56:030:56:07

One of yours.

0:56:120:56:13

Who?

0:56:160:56:18

Monica...

0:56:210:56:22

BOTH: ..Chatwin.

THEY SPEAK IN ARABIC

0:57:140:57:16

Hey, where are you going, huh?

0:57:290:57:30

-REPLIES IN ARABIC

-No, no, no.

0:57:300:57:32

You cannot tell them about me, you have to say the gun was yours, OK?

0:57:320:57:35

You kept it loaded!

0:57:350:57:36

The gun is yours.

0:57:430:57:46

OK?

0:57:460:57:47

OK, huh?

0:57:470:57:49

Say it, OK?

0:57:500:57:51

Call the ambulance when I'm gone.

0:57:570:57:59

Your boy is strong.

0:57:590:58:00

He will survive.

0:58:000:58:02

But I was never here.

0:58:020:58:04

I need help.
