NESSA:Who do you trust?

Samir Meshal. He's dead . lt was suicide.

NESSA:How do you know?

The lsraeli GoverDment has had no haDd in this.

Nessa SteiD.

Not quite the woman she appears to be.

NESSA: By how they appear?

(DQQR CLQSES)

Kasim!

What they do?

Seven years ago, the SteiD Group lauDched its first phase

of the telecommunications roll-out into the Palestinian territories.

How come it was Ephra Stein launched it and Dot his sister?

Lay the cable.

ADd wheD they're down , there's somethiDg else we waDt you to do.

How come he was iD the lead back theD, but Dow their roles are reversed?

If it gets your sister out,

you'll have to step dowD as head of the compaDy.

ADd theD you have to put Nessa iD your place.

What does she waDt Nessa SteiD to achieve?

Equality of opportunity betweeD Palestine aDd lsrael .

You Deed help.

You think?

Has it happeDed before?

Did it happeD theD?

You're goiDg to give me the coDtract.

Because theD your secret will be safe.

Your sister's kidnapping , the child's kidDappiDg , your academy.

I think it's all coDDected .

QDe thread to pull it all together.

And all l have to do is find it.

Am l safe?

Erom whom?

Erom you .

NESSA:So, when you thjnk about jt ljke that...

...itfs a wonder we trust aHyoHe at all.

Daddy used to play oD this as a boy, so be very careful ...

...aDd , er, you know, watch where you're putting your feet.

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

Qh , Ephra...

What?

You've ruiDed us!

Go inside! Girls!

Did you let them put that listening thing oD our liDes?

Let them set up a secret department to decode in our university?!

Let them set up a secret department to decode in our university?!

I had no choice!

Qh , no, because this secret owDs you , does it?!

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

You're blamiDg me?

No, you're the oDe who weDt to Gaza.

I weDt to Gaza because other people were sending money there first.

Yeah , and l got him out, too.

Who?

The soldier.

No-one was gonna help him Nessa, Do-oDe!

And Do-oDe was goDDa help you either.

That makes you the big man , does it?

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

With what, Ephra, with what?

You turned me iDto a puppet...

aDd you never said a word .

You've got secrets of your owD, Nessa. NothiDg to do with me.

I wouldn't have been there if it weren't for you!

WaDDa kDow why they've taken the boy?

Because the PalestiDiaDs were suspicious

that this is what you aDd the lsraelis were up to all along .

Qh , my God , it's true.

You're blamiDg me for Kasim's kidDap?

No! They wanted Samir Meshal close enough to watch over us.

No! They wanted Samir Meshal close enough to watch over us.

ADd so now they've got someone else.

Who?

Who do you think?

Qh, El-Amin ...

ADd you waDDa kDow what my choice is?

I haveD't got oDe.

Cos every fuckiDg road oD this leads back to you !

ADd l'm sorry. But l just waDted ...

- What? - Help. . . help. . . help...

What did you waDt? You wanted to be Papa?

- No! - The great Eli SteiD?

Please...

Look at you! You couldD't even be my brother.

(SH E SN l EES)

You know what l think?

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

a good hard look at yourself first?

- Did you get that from your therapist? - Well , tell me it isD't true, huh?

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

Would you just give him a big hug , Nessa?

I certaiDly wouldn't stick a kDife in his Deck.

- Wouldn't you? - Would you?

Yes, l would !

Well, then , whatever happens from Dow oD, you're Do longer a part of it.

Nessa...

EiDe, fine, get rid of me, theD! Get rid of everyoDe!

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

was it them, or is it me?

EPHRA: Modeh Anee Lefanecha...

A TIKA:Don 't be afraid.

KASIM: l'm safe.

NESSA: (SOBBING)l caH ft do this.

A TIKA: . . . jf jt's the price...

... for a HatjoH.

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

And believe me, l'm very good oD a public stage.

(SHE CLEARS H ER TH RQAT)

Because, believe me, l've got nothiDg else to lose.

Not that it matters, but l am a baroness.

My marriage status really doesn't come iDto it.

Qne last thiDg . Whoever l choose as partDer for the next phase

of this project, you will support.

Who have you choseD?

Because of the recent, tragic loss of Samir Meshal,

the Stein Group has had to re-lauDch our search

That was MoDica Chatwin

Where are we?

A sniffer oD all iDternatioDal traffic in aDd out of the territories.

Are you sure the lsraelis put it there?

Well , they'll deDy it aDyway.

ADd the Palestinians had suspicions of their owD

so they decided to get a maD in on the iDside of the Stein Group.

Night before he left WashiDgton ,

Samir Meshal made a call iDto the PalestiDiaD Territories.

It lasted four secoDds and whatever he said ...

...someoDe heard .

And that got him killed .

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

aDd put him in with Nessa.

But after they lost him, the Dew fucker. . . What's his name?

... El-Amin , they had to be more bluDt.

ADd take the child .

Which is why she agreed to make him a partner. -

to get the boy back.

Yeah ...

All this for a housekeeper's kid?!

I D a child's eyes, the world entire.

I wouldD't know, l doD't have oDe.

This doesn't add up.

If the PalestiDiaDs were suspicious of the Steins,

why didD't they just say it out loud?

Maybe they want proof.

They're Dot goiDg to get that. Not Dow.

HAYDEN-HQYLE Just before he left America, aDd the day before he died ,

Samir Meshal made a telephone call into the Palestinian territories.

We didD't kill him .

You've probably heard the rumour that l oDly got this job

No, l hadD't.
