"There's something you should know." "How many other lies are you going to keep in this house?" "I'm the one who got them out, Rachel." "Me!" "I got them out!" "This is what it cost me!"

"I'm sorry, sir, I have to check it." "It'll take me seconds, it's just a reset switch." "I'm busy." "It's hotel policy, I'm so sorry." "Do you mind if I just switch on your lights?" "No, it's not that one." "Do you mind if I check your bathroom?" "Somebody's using it." "Er, then I'll wait." "He wants to check the bathroom." "Good evening, madam." "Yeah, it's this one." "Done." "I'm so sorry to have disturbed you, especially at this time of night." "Sleep well." "Housekeeping." "Yeah, there was a guy just in our room." "Yes, that's correct." "I do apologise."

"And when will you get him back?" "How did you work all this out?" "I'm still trying to." "What is it they want that requires you to stay in your position?"

"You know him?" "He was..." "When I was captured in Gaza... ..he was the one who..." "He's Palestinian?" "So why is he here?" "To threaten me." "I should imagine you feel threatened enough as it is." "It's yours." "The child's yours." "Oh, Nessa..." "I'm so sorry." "I don't need pity from a spy." "I'm not saying it as a spy." "Er... this is my... security adviser's number."

"What have you said?" "I've told her who you are, what you are." "She's lying." "The fucking bitch is lying." "I know your blood type, I've told her what it is." "No." "How could you do that?" "How could you do that to her?" "How could you do this to any of us?" "Where have you been?" "Out." "Why did you tell her?" "Because she has the right to know." "Why don't you tell the whole fucking world, Atika?" "This is her house." "If you know, so should she." "That's my decision." "She's my wife." "My wife." "It wasn't yours to make." "And when did it become yours?" "I didn't have a choice, Ephra." "You didn't give me one." "So, what, now you're trying to ruin my marriage?" "Is that what you're trying to do?" "Do you really want to keep it?" "What?" "Do you?" "I have to leave." "No." "I can't stay here now, not any more." "No, you can't go." "What would they all think if you did?"

"I've kept so many lies." "So have I." "Which ones?" "Too many to count." "You and I... ..we are one." "Yes." "Monica Chatwin is working for the Palestinians." "To be ensuring they have a man standing beside Nessa Stein." "Who isn't Shlomo Zahary." "Who isn't an Israeli." "But why is she doing that?" "This may be helping you to find out." "She has one phone she only uses for very rare things, very rare." "We found her having it because she used it to call Nathaniel Bloom for a coffee meeting many months ago." "Since then, she has been... being called by one phone in the UK, two nights ago." "And she is calling with it to another phone in..." "Holland." "And another in..." "Washington." "The United States." "Do you know what was said?" "No, but these calls I'm suggesting you should now be listening in to." "You know she wants my job?" "I think maybe she's getting it." "Good morning." "There have been many obstacles for us to overcome in order to be here today, not least the death of our colleague, Samir Meshal, to whose family our thoughts go out, particularly today." "But I know that what he wished for, with all his heart... was for this day to come." "What's happened to your new partner?" "I'm sure he'll be here in a moment." "In the meantime," "I'm happy to answer any questions." "What would your father think of today?" "I hope he'd be very proud." ""The sword of Israel", and his daughter holding her hand out to the Palestinians?" "As I have continued to say throughout this whole process, anything that contributes to promoting stability in the region," "I hope will be greeted with enthusiasm on all sides." "And I believe it is." "I mean, otherwise, we simply wouldn't be here today." "So you think you are single-handedly solving this problem?" "No." "What we're doing here today is just a feather in the dove." "But you are part of the dove." "Well, I certainly hope so." "What about Tahet Technologies' relationship with the PLO's terrorist past?" "Those accusations are unsubstantiated." "But they still exist." "If every rumour in this region were taken as fact then... ..well, then, personally I would know for a fact that TV2 news anchor, Ido Zamir, would be standing here beside me right now and I'd be bouncing our love child on my hip." "That's not true, then!" "Er, for the moment, I'm going to deny it." "So, you don't feel compromised?" "By what?" "Your relationship with Tahet." "Not at all." "We all have a past." "Look at my own family name, what it's meant to different people on different sides of the border." "But today, today is a day to let those differences go." "Today is a day to look toward the future." "Ladies and gentlemen, Tahet's CEO, Jalal El-Amin, has been unavoidably detained, so may I suggest you hold all further questions until this afternoon?" "And just to confirm, the ceremony will take place in Hebron at 3pm." "Until then, thank you." "So, what?" "He's ill." "Food poisoning." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Are you ready?" "I feel like a 16-year-old." "You're supposed to." "Now, go on." "Start running." "Have you ever seen The Towering Inferno?" "No." "No." "It's very good." "Robert Wagner." "Don't worry, Lorrie, no-one's going to die." "He's got to be there." "I know..." "No, he's got to be." "Shit!" "What did he eat?" "I don't know, it's obviously pretty bad." "Frances, I don't care if he's on his fucking death bed, he's got to be there this afternoon." "As-salamu alaykum." "Wa 'alaykum-salam." "I saw him go for a run this morning." "Ephra?" "Running?" "Hm." "I don't think so." "Maybe... he wants to get away from things." "Oh." "Well, that kind of running." "That makes perfect sense." "If only I could do the same." "You should stay in bed." "All right, they're going to get him up." "Fuck knows what it's going to look like if he starts vomiting all over his shovel." "We're still using those?" "Just for the photo, then you'll get in the digger." "All I have to do is start it up?" "Exactly." "I don't want to start swinging that thing around when I don't know what I'm doing." "There's an engineer, he'll be right there, he'll explain it all although I'm reassured it's simply a key in the ignition." "Oh." "What?" "I'm so sorry, I should have thought of this." "What?" "You can't wear a dress." "Why?" "Think about it." "You can't go climbing up a ladder into a cabin in a dress." "Really?" "Really." "You're going to have to wear trousers." "Look at this!" "A world event rapidly turning into Carry On Up The Kibbutz." "When did this happen?" "What?" "When was this clause added?" "16B." "He can hold on to the rights to this deal no matter what happens in the future?" "No matter what?" "And that..." "is your signature." "Yes." "Nessa..." "I've stood beside you for six years, hearing you say that you cannot be compromised, will not be." "So why this?" "Why have you signed this?" "When it is absolutely obvious that you shouldn't." "Well... you're compromised now." "And you've done it to yourself." "Do you trust me?" "Trust me now." "Well, he's up." "Good." "The man you've just bequeathed half your company to." "Although, with the amount of Imodium they've poured down his throat, he won't be shitting for 16 years." "Then we should go." "I'm doing the right thing, Frances." "I hope so." "Hi." "My name's Ephra." "Today, I'll mostly be having a nervous breakdown and running away from it all." "What's your alibi?" "I've got to see my part-time tutor." "Fantastic." "I've always admired an educated woman." "Drive on." "Here we go." "Salamu alaykum." "Alaykum-salam." "Salamu alaykum." "Alaykum-salam." "Shall we stop for a picture?" "Alaykum-salam." "Salamu-alaykam." "Thank you." "Just right up onto stage?" "OK." "You made it." "Of course." "How are you feeling?" "Let's get this thing done." "Wait." "Wait." "Wait." "What?" "Let's switch the phones off." "Go away, world." "Shall we trade?" "OK?" "You have a scar... here." "Yes." "A dog." "A dog?" "Yes." "When I was five." "Hello." "And hello?" "Um... some years ago, I came to Bethlehem and gave a very bad speech, so I should probably learn the lesson of that and keep this one short." "Strangely enough... ..what I ended up saying that day..." "..hadn't been pre-written or rehearsed." "I just said it from my heart." "And I think what I said then still holds true today." "All this technology, all this fibre optics... last mile boxes..." "..all this wizardry... ..all this speed..." "..that's around us right now... ..what it's all really about is very, very simple." "It's about our need to communicate with each other." "And with others." "Here... ..and there." "Talk." "Trade." "Understand." "And that's it." "There's no secret to it." "Not any more." "When will we be reunited?" "This evening." "Then I think we're done here." "And what's next?" "The digger." "Shalom." "Salam." "Thank you." "OK." "What do I do?" "Turn here... then your finger..." "press." "Do I need to wait for a cue or...?" "No..." "Now..." "There's something wrong with the ignition." "This is BBC News." "The headlines at three o'clock." "The Prime Minister recognises..." "What are you doing?" "Just wanted to catch the news." "Oh, don't!" "What will you give me for it?" "Please, Ephra, switch it off." "A big one." "Right here." "..and in cricket, England insist their team are equal to the task..." "Is this going to happen every time I try and turn on a TV?" "You tell me." "You're here..." "Do you think I'm that stupid?" "Are you alone?" "What?" "You think only people like you are clever enough to slip away unnoticed?" "Rachel, are you alone?" "Clearly." "Rachel, I..." "You must leave?" "What?" "Now!" "How dare you?" "My husband, my life..." "Come on." "What are you doing?" "You have to leave..." "Don't tell me what to do!" "Atika, it's too late." "It's not." "Not if she leaves now." "..a huge explosion..." "What?" "You've got to go." "Why?" "What's this?" "Hebron is the location scheduled today for the opening of a data cabling network spreading throughout the West Bank that has been championed and coordinated..." "Oh, Nessa." "Calm down!" "OK?" "Ssh, ssh, ssh." "Listen to me." "Do you have a gun in this house?" "Do you have a gun in this house?" "Where?" "Are you all right?" "Are you all right?" "OK." "Take this." "Take this!" "What's happening?" "You weren't supposed to be here." "You don't move." "Stay here." "...amongst the casualties." "Despite the immediate tragedy... ..consider the cause of the blast." "..can't and shouldn't be ruled out at this stage, the very real possibility of a terrorist attack has to be considered." "Nessa Stein and her company have been in the jaws of this complex region for many years..." "He killed my husband." "You led him here." "OK, Rachel..." "Calm down." "OK." "Put this gun down." "Put it down." "Come..." "Give it to me." "Give it to me." "Give it to me." "Ssh, Rachel." "Rachel." "Rachel..." "OK." "..between Israel and the Palestinian territories." "This, along with an extensive educational programme within the territories, ensured a radical change of profile for the Steins, which culminated in Nessa Stein joining the House of Lords as an independent member, not affiliated with a party," "in recognition of her ongoing efforts for..." " This is Dagon." " Yes?" "Ephra Stein is dead." "Why are you using this phone?" "Because he is dead too." "How?" "Ephra Stein's wife, she shot him." "She wasn't supposed to be there." "She followed us." "Where is she now?" "Also dead." "How?" "I killed her." "Could it be as if he did it?" "Yes." "Then stick to the plan." "Leave now." "She's dead?" "They think so." "Survivors?" "Not intended." "There's a hole in the ground about 30ft across." "Let me know immediately." "Ephra Stein is missing." "So is his wife." "And Atika Halibi, the missing child's mother." "Safe housed?" "Not by us." "We've just had activity on Monica Chatwin's phone." "You're listening in on Monica Chatwin?" "She has a satellite phone which doesn't appear to be accounted for on her expenses." "And...?" "She's been rung again by the same number that called her last week." "Audio?" "No." "Just number and duration." "All right." "Log it." "We'll get back to it." "It's just..." "Have you been watching the TV?" "It's really very exciting." "This number... the closest we can place it is Ephra Stein's holiday home." "She's on again." "Why can't we hear it?" "We haven't had a chance to access her phone." "And she's calling..." "Holland." "Holland." "Utrecht." "Claim it." "They're approaching the Steins' second home now." "Can you pull that up?" "Yeah, we've got a feed." "Two male fatalities." "One IC6." "Israeli." "Name" " Enad Geffen." "Actually, we need to discuss that." "Really?" "Just that?" "Second male fatality" " IC1." "Ephra Stein." "Rachel, push!" "Push." "OK." "Female, IC1, in labour." "Jesus." "See why I never came off the Pill?" "She killed my husband!" "She helped kill my husband!" "Put the gun down!" "What the fuck is going on?" "We've just had a claim posted on the internet for the assassination of both Nessa Stein and Ephra Stein." "Who by?" "Coming up now." "I think I'm still asleep." "The baby is coming." "Help me." "Who made the claim, Max?" "League of Samaria." "Israelis?" "Oh, shit." "Coming up now..." "Oh, for fuck's sake!" "Will you switch that woman off?" "A child?" "Yes." "The one that's been taken." "And you didn't think to tell me?" "I can't fetch a ball and talk at the same time, old dog that I am." "Fuck." "She has children at home." "Someone will need to collect them from school." "Oh..." "She's up again." "USA, east coast." "Washington." "Bethesda." "Exeter Road." "Moorland Lane." "Call terminated." "That's as close as we can get." "Now we wait for the aftershock." "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen." "Tragically, within the central grouping, there are reported to be no survivors." "74 souls have yet to be accounted for." "Including Nessa Stein?" "Yes, including Nessa Stein." "Her press adviser, Frances Pirsig, is reported to be amongst that number, as are many of her team." "However, Jalal El-Amin, her partner in this cable venture, is amongst the survivors." "The State of Israel categorically denounces these horrendous crimes." "Over many years we have worked tirelessly with the Stein company to help achieve its aim of peaceful reconciliation, and these heinous acts of violence will do nothing to shake our resolve to continue along this path." "How do you respond to the fact an Israeli extremist group has claimed the murders, and that its leader, Yaniv Levi, has remained at liberty and clearly unmonitored by your security forces?" "I can assure you these issues will be addressed at the very highest level." "Dutch police, acting on information received from an anonymous source, raided an apartment in Utrecht earlier today, finding inside the body of known Israeli activist Yaniv Levi." "It wasn't us." "It's the same as Samir Meshal, we wanted to bring him in but..." "Someone got there first." "Again." "The man who shot Ephra Stein, his passport is a fake." "We're aware." "But you've no idea who he is." "We have no record of him." "Whatever we may or may not have done in the past, we didn't kill Nessa Stein or her brother." "Except that world opinion seems to think you did." "We've run a list of all government workers resident in the Bethesda area." "As you can imagine, there's quite a few." "But on Moorland Lane there's just one." "Kate Larsson, special adviser to the..." "Secretary of State." "What's her background?" "Ivy League." "Homeland Department." "Defence procurement then State Department." "Not a particularly noisy individual, although we did trowel up a piece she wrote in 1999 for the New Republic which was..." "pretty hawkish." "How much CCTV footage do we have of Samir Meshal's hotel during his stay in Washington?" "Within the lobby, the complete period." "Start looking." "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen..." "Of course, at this stage it is too early to give any definitive reactions to these events, but once the facts are gathered, um, you can expect a full and unambiguous response from the Secretary of State." "Will that involve a full, unambiguous condemnation of" "Israel's failure to rein in its own domestic extremists?" "If what looks to have happened actually has, then, yes, you can expect a very strong response from this department." "And from the Secretary of State herself?" "Yes, she has agreed." "But obviously it is vital that the facts are verified before any such comment might or would be..." "And from the Secretary of State herself?" "Yes, she has agreed." "Yes, she has agreed." "Yes, she has agreed."
