Hi! - Mornin'.
- Hey, Reverend.
God bless you.
So glad you can join us.
[MAN.]
How are you? - [WOMAN.]
Hello.
- Hi.
- [WOMAN.]
Thank you.
- God bless you.
Good to see you.
Luis [SPEAKS SPANISH.]
- Hola.
- Buenos días.
Gracias.
[SIGHS.]
[SIGHS.]
[SIGHS.]
[DOOR OPENS.]
- Sweetheart? - Shit.
Sweetheart? Thought you were headed across town? When was the last charity drive? [WOMAN.]
It's beyond that, Felix.
The bank's giving us 20 days.
[SIGHS.]
You know things don't have to be this way.
- I should've heard this comin'.
- It would just be a loan.
We'd pay him back.
How many more times can we have this conversation? How many more letters do you think we're gonna get before they start knockin' on our door, Felix? I mean, be practical, for goodness' sake.
This is it.
We are out of options.
I told you last time, I won't do that.
- Why not? - Because your father would just - enjoy it too much.
- [DOOR OPENS.]
Rebecca? Where have you been? Nowhere, just walkin'.
You got grass in your hair.
What is that? Oh, I fell down.
[WOMAN.]
Did you have another episode? I'm okay, I'm gonna lie down.
Wait a minute.
[SIGHS.]
Turn out your pockets.
Happy? [DOOR SLAMS.]
[ANNOUNCEMENTS IN HEBREW.]
It's a clusterfuck out there.
What's the latest? It's all over the news.
Clearly, they haven't found him yet.
There's an APB on the police wire matching his description, no names.
What about Shin Bet? They've gone silent, not talking to anyone.
That's helpful.
I'd say they're cleaning house.
Yeah, well, whoever the mole is, they're not gonna be hiding him from us.
I'm gonna need a safe room.
Who's available? Rozen and his crew.
They're setting it up now.
It's Eva.
[BAILEY.]
What have you found out? Our friends over here have apparently gone quiet.
A call from you would help.
I can't promise anything.
Can't hurt.
Give me 30 minutes.
Thank you.
[RADIO CHATTER.]
[GULPS.]
I'm very well.
Thank you for asking.
I'm sorry, Qamar.
I'm glad you're doing well.
And dare I ask the same? We are trying to get to the bottom of things.
Trust me.
[BAILEY.]
We did trust you, Zev.
Till you screwed up.
This guy single-handedly put Israel in the shit.
He gave your neighbors a new reason to hate you, and you lost him.
Wherever he turns up next, he's gonna be a lightning rod.
We can't afford for this to spill over into something bigger.
- So we're doing this together.
- Together, but we're in charge.
However you want to see it.
Shit.
You could have warned me it was her.
Cover your balls.
We both know why I'm here, so let's not waste any time.
How long has he been missing, and who was the last to see him? [BOTH SPEAKING HEBREW.]
[WOMAN ON RADIO, IN HEBREW.]
Activist van at location, confirm license number.
1, 5, 5, 6, 5, 2, 0.
That's them.
[IN ARABIC.]
Hands up! Don't move! - [YELLING.]
- Where is he? Where is he? Don't shoot us! We don't know what you mean we're just taking food to them [AVIRAM.]
To who? [MAN.]
To the refugees.
[PHONE BUZZING.]
- [IN HEBREW.]
What? - You need to come in.
I'm on an operation.
Then end it and come in.
It's urgent.
[SIGHS.]
Come on.
We're going back.
You entered the facility at 3:05 a.
m.
, correct? [AVIRAM.]
If you say so.
[ZEV.]
And what were you doing there? I had returned to continue my interrogation of the detainee.
The detainee escaped between 3:07 and 3:19 a.
m.
Just when you happened to be visiting.
I was the one who discovered him missing.
I was the one who raised the alarm.
Were you aware that the security cameras in cellblock D were switched off for 12 minutes while the prisoner escaped? How would I know that? [ZEV.]
Just answer the question.
Of course not.
You weren't aware of any tampering of footage that day? It's important you tell the truth.
What's this asshole said? Officer Ben-Reuven claims you erased the recording of the detainee's interrogation.
[AVIRAM.]
What the fuck is this? Answer the question, Avi.
Yes, I erased the tape of my interrogation.
Why? He said nothing relevant.
Simple as that.
Might I remind you that lying in a debriefing is an offense? Are we done? Thank you, Agent Dahan.
[EVA, IN HEBREW.]
So, it's just a coincidence that the evidence of your interrogation with the detainee and evidence of his escape were both erased? Who is this? [EVA.]
CIA.
Why am I answering to a fucking American? [EVA.]
We're cleaning up the mess you made.
It would serve you better to cooperate.
You brought me in for this? I was actually doing my job trying to find answers.
Are you refusing to answer my question? I'm sorry, I didn't hear a question.
Just an accusation.
I want a full report on my desk this afternoon.
You're dismissed.
[DOOR SLAMS.]
I told you, I ask the questions.
[IN HEBREW.]
What was that in there? Protocol.
Something you have no idea about.
Hey! Have you found a place to live yet? You need to sort yourself out, Avi.
[BROADCASTER SPEAKING SPANISH.]
The days without aid continue to mount for the refugees.
There is still no sign of capitulation from Israel.
[BROADCASTER 3.]
The protests continue today outside Israeli embassies across Europe and the US in support of the refugees [MILITARY RADIO CHATTER.]
- Those poor fuckers.
- [MUSIC PLAYS ON RADIO.]
We're watching people starve.
He just led them here to die.
[MAN.]
Like the Pied Piper.
Maybe that's the title of the piece.
"The Piper of Damascus.
" What does that make them, the rats? The children, you dope.
The hell is that? [WOMAN SPEAKING ITALIAN.]
[JIBRIL, IN ARABIC.]
People they're coming.
[RADIO CHATTER.]
[SPEAKS ARABIC.]
[IN ARABIC.]
Show me your face.
Show me your ID.
What's in there? Show me.
They are searching for him.
They are searching for him.
He has escaped! He has escaped! [CROWD SHOUTING JOYFULLY.]
He has escaped! He has escaped! He has escaped! [ALL CALLING.]
He has escaped! We're goin' to Reimer's ranch later.
Comin'? [REBECCA.]
And do what? Get high? Yeah, probably.
You can start now.
- Come on.
It makes you horny.
- Don't.
[SHE SIGHS.]
Had a dream last night that somebody blew this place up.
Nothin' left standin'.
Everything was gone.
Everybody dead.
Felt real.
It was so strange.
Kinda beautiful.
I was relieved.
That's fucked up.
[HE SCOFFS.]
Eric, you ever think about leavin' here? And go where? Anywhere's gotta be better than this shithole.
Better a shithole you know.
That's my pumpkin.
Hey, where you goin'? Goodbye, Eric.
[SHOP BELL RINGS.]
[MAN.]
Help you there, Reverend? Oh, thanks, Dennis.
I've got it.
[IN HEBREW.]
I'm not being paranoid.
Listen to me, Alon I'm being set up.
I don't know why.
The Americans are involved now They're fingering me! - [HORNS BLARE.]
- [TIRES SCREECH.]
[MAN YELLS.]
[IN HEBREW.]
I'll call you later.
[SIGHS.]
[MAN PLAYING GUITAR AND SINGING IN HEBREW.]

My little girl Sleep, sleep How's my girl? Daddy! - Aaah! - [BOTH LAUGHING.]
Does Mika know you're taking Ellie? She's my daughter.
Ido.
[AVIRAM.]
Is this your favorite doll? [ELLIE.]
Yes.
[AVIRAM.]
Little Red Riding Hood? [ELLIE.]
Because she has a little red riding hood! So she is Little Red Riding Hood! [AVIRAM.]
Uh-huh Ugh.

Daddy Daddy [SELLERS SHOUTING.]
[CROWD WHISPERING.]
[WOMAN, IN ARABIC.]
It's him.
[CAMERA CLICKING.]
[AL-MASIH, IN ARABIC.]
For centuries, these steps have been stained with the blood of brother for brother.
And none of it pleased God.
How could it? This soil we stand on is supposed to represent unity.
It can no longer divide men.
That day has passed.
History has ended.
The scriptures say that on judgment day, a set of scales will be hung from these arches, to weigh all souls.
What if I told you that day is here? A day where there is no more bargaining with God "when no soul will suffice for another soul.
" Just you and your God and your deeds.
All of them.
Who of you has done what God has truly asked? Who of you could step forward and weigh his soul? Step forward and it will begin.
Step forward and it will begin.
[WOMAN GASPS.]
[WHISPERING.]
- [MAN.]
Get down! Get down! - [GASPING.]
Out of the way! [RADIO CHATTER.]
Everybody get down! Don't move! Stand back! That's him! Hands up! I said hands up! - [GUNSHOT.]
- [SCREAMING.]
[WOMAN SCREAMING.]
Hold fire! Who fired? [WOMAN SCREAMING.]
You've shot a boy.
Get off our land! Pigs! Murderers! [CRYING.]
Get off our land, it's not yours! Murderers! You've killed a child! [ANGRY YELLING.]
[HYSTERICAL CRYING.]
- [SHOUTING.]
- [WAILING.]
[SOLDIER YELLING.]
I can't believe it! [MAN MUTTERS AND GASPS.]
[CAMERAS CLICKING.]
He's alive! How? [MAN.]
It's a miracle! [CLAMORING.]
[SOLDIER.]
Stand back! Get back! Where is he? Where did he go? You're alive! It's a miracle!! - Tell them! - I'm alive! I'm alive! I'm alive! It's a miracle! - I'm alive! - It's a miracle! [HORNS BLARING.]
[MESSAGE ALERT PING.]
[PHONE RINGS.]
Q, I just sent you a present.
Yeah.
Is he our man? That's what I need you to find out.
You're gonna have to dig deep.
This guy thinks he's untouchable.
On it.
[RADIO JINGLE PLAYS.]
[WOMAN, IN HEBREW.]
We have breaking news.
There has been a shooting at Temple Mount.
Details are still coming in.
People are being told to stay away from the area several shots have been fired at Temple Mount Turn that up, please.
Early reports say the gunfire was from Israeli police in pursuit of a suspect - I need to go there.
- What? Take me to Temple Mount.
[SIRENS WAILING.]
I can't, they're saying to stay away.
I'll pay you.
money.
The roads will be blocked.
Then take me to the roadblocks.
At 2:00 p.
m.
this afternoon, Israeli police opened fire on a crowd of Muslim tourists here, at the most sacred of sacred sites, Temple Mount.
Access to the site has now been closed to public and press by the authorities.
Details are still not clear as to what transpired.
There are conflicting reports about the injuries.
Some say a boy was shot.
One thing that is clear is the figure at the center of this furor, the Islamic activist people are calling al-Masih.
Israeli authorities have confirmed that he escaped custody late last night.
However, it is unclear if he was recaptured at the siege of the steps.
The president of the Palestinian National Authority has announced an intifada.
This is the first intifada since the year 2000, after president Ariel Sharon walked on the steps of this very same holy site, an act seen by Palestinians as a provocation.
This idiot is trying to start another war.

This soil we stand on is supposed to represent unity.
It can no longer divide men.
That day has passed.
History has ended.
[IN ARABIC.]
These words cannot be tolerated.
But he's brought energy to the cause, Imam.
Israel is under great pressure because of him.
He gives a voice to our struggle He misquotes Muhammad.
This man is a heretic, not a prophet.
But he appeared in Damascus in a yellow robe as the scriptures said.
Any man can wear a yellow robe.
If he has escaped why hasn't he come back to us? If he really is Isa returned, then he has greater things to worry about.
- He has left us.
- He wouldn't do that.
We must be faithful and not act out of foolish despair.
He turned away Daesh, and He will provide for us again [SIREN WAILING.]

[LOUDSPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT IN HEBREW.]
Let's have a drink.
- [WAITRESS.]
Club soda? - Thank you.
L'Chaim.
It's bad luck.
- To toast with no alcohol is bad luck.
- [PHONE BUZZING.]
So why did they tell you to tail me? I'm not here under orders.
So you're here to intimidate me.
- What are you doing in Israel? - My job.
Oh.
Your job.
And your job is to interrogate me during a debriefing? My job is to get this situation under control.
You guys messed up, and now this city's about to hemorrhage.
- [DISTANT GUNFIRE.]
- It's not your city.
See, that's one of the problems with you fucking Americans, you want your finger in every pie.
You come to us when you need us.
- [SIREN WAILING.]
- We don't need you.
Right.
No.
Looks like you've got it all under control.
This might be your city but when Israel tips, we all tip.
When this region blows, we all feel it.
And that makes it our problem.
Thank you very much for this lesson in geopolitics.
What's on that file that you erased? That's none of your fucking business.
Now, we know you didn't come to have a drink with me.
So why don't you level? I'd be careful if I were you.
- You don't know who I am.
- I don't care who you are.
I have a job to do.
Then I'll make you regret it.
You're charming.
Yes, so people tell me.
Whatever it is you're hiding I'll find it.
Is there a reason you don't drink? We all have something to hide, - haven't we? - [PHONE BUZZING.]
[IN HEBREW.]
What? What is it? Want to tell me why you left our daughter in the car today? It was for two minutes.
She said you had a gun.

That's all we've got.
[EVA.]
This isn't enough.
[SIGHS.]

- He he just disappears.
- No.
No one just disappears.

How do we know one was really fired? - [CROWD CHEERING.]
- Where's that kid? If this is all a charade, they're in on it.
We need to find them.
- The city's cut off the power.
- [EVA.]
Yeah.
An old trick to subdue the masses.
[PHONE CHIMING.]
Shit.
- What? - Uh nothing.
I'll handle it later.

[IN ARABIC.]
What are you doing here? What are you doing? Looking for the people that live here.
It's the middle of the night.
Don't you have any decency? You cut off our electricity! You send in soldiers! We're not Israelis! We're reporters.
Is this where the little boy from al-Aqsa lives? - He's gone.
- When did he leave? - Today.
He's not coming back.
- Where did they go? Why have you come in the middle of the night? Listen.
We don't want any trouble.
We just want to talk.
They are finished talking.
That's why they left.
[EVA.]
What do you mean? Listen.
The boy has been touched by God.
He is blessed from God.
[IN ARABIC.]
Today this street was filled with people who wanted to touch him.
They are safer where they are.
Who took them? You shouldn't be here.
It's not safe for people like you, okay? [EVA, IN ARABIC.]
Who took them? [KENEALLY.]
As the Muslim world continues to protest Israel's refusal of passage for the 2,000 Syrian Palestinian asylum seekers caught on its northern border, there is mounting pressure on Prime Minister Nitsani to play a more active role in the crisis.
Adding to that pressure today was the shooting incident at Temple Mount, which has led to rioting in Jerusalem.
And now, there seems to be more confusion over what occurred at the holy site as footage has emerged from that very incident, footage some are calling evidence of a miracle.
The video clearly shows the escaped Syrian lead What is the main hindrance today in America to believing? Really believing, with deep commitment.
Belief in the reality of sin, in the death and resurrection.
Hi, Daddy.
[WIND CHIMES TINKLING.]

[BABY CRYING.]
[EVA.]
Why haven't I heard of him? [Q.]
He does the kind of stuff you're not supposed to hear about.
[SIGHS.]
Remember the Hebron Nine? That was him.
He gets a long leash 'cause he gets results.
It still doesn't make sense why he'd release his own prisoner.
- [BLEEP.]
- Holy shit.
FACIAL RECOGNITION - JORDAN DATABASE - [BLEEP.]
- [Q.]
Where is that? Jordan.
FACIAL RECOGNITION - JORDAN DATABASE We've lost him.
[WOMAN, IN ARABIC.]
Here! Come closer.
Huh? Are you hungry? [JIBRIL.]
Uh Do you want some bread? We have more much more.
Thank you.
We're going to get you all out.
Hm? Go! - Tell the elders! - [GRUNTS.]
Hurry! Hurry! [GRUNTING.]
