NESSA:Who do you trust?

You're goiDg to give me the coDtract.

Because theD your secret will be safe.

How do you kHow?

You wanna know what my choice is?

I haveD't got oDe.

Cos every fuckiDg road oD this leads back to you !

NESSA: By how they appear?

To get your sister out of Gaza,

the lsraelis nailed you for a sDiffer on your cables

and a listening uDit withiD your Academy.

That's quite a price to pay.

It was worth it.

NESSA: What they do ?

There's somethiDg you should kDow.

How many other lies are you going to keep iD this house?

L'm the one who got them out, Rachel!

Me! l got them out!

This is what it cost me!

Now you're trying to ruin my marriage?

Do you really want to keep it?

Night before he left WashiDgton ,

Samir Meshal made a call iDto the PalestiDiaD Territories.

SomeoDe heard .

What did you hear him say?

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

Who's she?

What did she agree to?

That's why l'm telliDg you.

But someoDe kDows and , whoever it is,

they killed Samir Meshal .

Who else did you tell?

About the wiretap?

MoDica...

- Chatwin . - Chatwin .

Let's Dot forget the long ball here, Julia.

IsD't that an AmericaDism?

It's what it's always beeD and what we all waDt. Peace in the Middle East.

Who has agreed to what?

I simply don't kDow.

Stay away from the AmericaDs, Hugh.

MoDica Chatwin is workiDg for the Palestinians.

To be eDsuring they have a man standing beside Nessa Stein .

NESSA:So wheH you thjnk about jt ljke that...

Whatever it is you thiDk you're goiDg to fiDd , you won't.

THREE DAYS LATER

HEBRQN , CITY Ll M lTS

Good morDiDg .

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 l know that what he wished for, with all his heart...

was for this day to come.

- What's happeDed to your new partDer? - l'm sure he'll be here in a moment.

I D the meaDtime,

l'm happy to aDswer any questions.

What would your father think of today?

I hope he'd be very proud .

"The Sword of lsrael", and his daughter holding her hand out to the PalestiDiaDs?

As l have contiDued to say throughout this whole process,

aDythiDg that contributes to promoting stability in the regioD

l hope will be greeted with eDthusiasm oD all sides.

And l believe it is. l mean , otherwise,

we simply wouldD't be here today.

So you thiDk you are siDgle-haDdedly solving this problem?

No.

What we're doiDg here today is just a feather in the dove.

But you are part of the dove.

Well , l certainly hope so.

What about Tahet Technologies' relatioDship

with the PLQ's terrorist past?

Those accusatioDs are unsubstaDtiated .

But they still exist.

If every rumour iD this regioD were taken as fact, theD...

...well, then , persoDally l would know for a fact

that TV2 Dews anchor ldo Zamir would be staDdiDg here beside me right Dow

aDd l'd be bouDcing our love child oD my hip.

It's Dot true, theD?

Er, for the momeDt, l'm goiDg to deny it.

So you doD't feel compromised?

By what?

Your relatioDship with Tahet.

Not at all .

We all have a past.

Look at my own family Dame,

what it's meaDt to differeDt people on differeDt 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 geDtlemeD, Tahet's CEQ, Jalal El-AmiD, has beeD unavoidably detained

so may l suggest you hold all further questioDs uDtil this afternoon?

ADd just to confirm , the ceremony will take place in Hebron at 3pm .

UDtil then , thaDk you .

NESSA: So, what?

ERANCES He's ill . Eood poisoDiDg .

Qver many years we have worked tirelessly with the Stein compaDy

aDd these heiDous acts of violence will do Dothing

But l think Samir Meshal was a go-betweeD

for the Palestinians and the US.

This is a grab of him meetiDg Kate Larsson

in his hotel lobby two days before he died .

25 minutes later, he'd made his fatal mistake -

a phoDe call into the Palestinian territories.

ADd wheD he said , "She has agreed ,"

the AmericaDs heard him say it.

ADd because they were secretly piggybackiDg

on aD lsraeli wiretap,

they knew the lsraelis had heard it, too.

So they had to take him out before the lsraelis could get to him

aDd fiDd out what it was she'd agreed to.

The murder of Nessa SteiD?

Maybe, but l doD't think so.

Come on , this is realpolitik.

Whatever it is, it has to make the US look good .

Nessa Stein's murder. . . actually, l thiDk it's MoDica Chatwin

who's holding the sticky eDd of that.

But she's oDly doiDg it to give the US the chance to step forward

aDd do something "incredible".

Huh! There was me

thinkiDg she's guDDiDg for my job,

when all along , she just waDts yours.

Quch .

Ladies and geDtlemeD, the Secretary of State.

Good morniHq.

As maHy ofyou are aware,

we have had to draw the traqic coHclusion that two days aqo,

Nessa SteiH, aH unendjnq campajqHer for recoHcjljatjoH iH the Middle East,

was killed by a terrorist outraqe perpetrated by a qroup fuHctioniHq,

apparently unencumbered, wjthjn the State of lsrael.

As the shock waves contjnue across the reqion aHd the world,

this admjnistratjoH has decjded

that jt caHnot let this appalljnq act qo unanswered.

Throuqhout the lenqth of lsrael's existeHce,

America has stood full square besjde her.

Our belief aHd loyalty canHot be called jnto questjoH

and we do not briHq jt jnto questjoH here today.

However, as a sister mjqht her sibljnq,

there can come a tjme

wheH the conduct of oHe must be called iHto question by the other.

Thjs is such a tjme.

Nessa Stein was not a politiciaD, she was a busiDesswomaD -

a busiDesswomaD who recogDised , with pragmatic, ecoDomic coDviction ,

that a balance needs to be brought betweeD lsrael aDd Palestine.

It was a bold and charismatic staDce in a region that has become

mired iD stalemate aDd distrust - and for which, tragically,

she paid with her life.

I am not a busjnesswoman, l am a poljtician.

AHd a poljtician recoqHjses that a state wjthout a cohesive ideHtity

is a state that caHnot functjoH -

a state that wjll fail -

aHd a fajled state js a daHqer to the world.

A balance Heeds to be brouqht to bear -

and Hot only oHe that is economjc,

to whjch Nessa Stejn 's ljfe must surely attest,

but one that js also poljtical...

to which cause this admiDistration has decided

to take a bold aDd certain staDce.

Should the Palestinian Authority

resubmit its application to the UN for full State recognitioD,

it is the iDtent of this administratioD Dot to exercise its veto.

We, the American people,

will not stand iD the way of PalestiDe's quest for statehood .

ThaDk you .

MAN:No questjoHs.

Wow!

You had that plaDDed all aloDg?

I heard it might be coming .

- I hear you waDt my job. - l'll take Hoyle's to start with .

I wouldn't push him.

I thought you were gonna do that for me.

Today's a differeDt world .

A better oDe.

Worth the life of Nessa Stein?

Stop!

I believed iD Nessa SteiD. l believed in what she stood for.

ADd l believe that today what she stood for has come to pass.

Thanks to her.

She made it happeD.

With a little help from you.

Actually, she ignored aDy of my advice.

Qh, well ...

that is certaiDly very sad .

Cos if she could smell a rat iD you,

she certainly was someoDe to believe in .

What's this?

Should l kDow?

Should l start talking to lA?

I don't believe we have an lA

- iD the secret service. . . - We will after this.

What is all this, H H? Claw marks oD your desk top?

It's not worth it, just staDd up aDd walk away.

DoD't touch my wife.

Ex-wife.

And from what l uDderstaDd , someoDe else is touching her already.
