Traffic is heavy on the road

to Los Angeles today.

It's absolute carmageddon out there.

The end of days sale--

world peace comes from realizing

that we're all in this together.

- Yes. - Every human being

just wants to be loved...

...and then uh, the rest of it...

And I'm one of these people where we believe

in this kind of a more western cumulative

like your soul mate, meeting the right person...

I know!

...waiting for a while. Like it's much more...

That's what I was saying, too! I love it.

And so, these two uh, points of view

as well as many others exist in the same space.

Hey, are you okay?

He's got a decubitus ulcer on the posterior

aspect of his left lower extremity.

Full thickness skin loss.

Ruthie, what was I supposed to do?

Call an ambulance.

Definitely not put him in your car and bring him

to a financially strapped women's hospital.

Except when he's lying on the curb

and I see him as I'm driving by.

Okay, well, rach, there's your problem.

You should be texting like everyone else.

Give me that. Have fun.

- Thanks.

Yeah?

He's gonna be okay.

Good, because lord haskill wants to see you in 410.

Oh, please.

Look, Dan, I'm sorry, but the guy was in need

and that's what we do here, right, we help people.

And I understand the financial realities

of this clinic, I've even got him on a transfer

he's headed to county,

- so there's no need-- - Rachel, Rachel.

There's somebody here to see you.

Let me know if you need anything.

Dr. rozman,

I'm Jake alshadi I work for the us state department.

I'm afraid I have some difficult news.

You wanna sit?

Uh, no, I think I'll stand.

It's about your brother, David.

I'm sorry, Dr. rozman, he passed away.

Can I get you some water? Something?

I haven't seen him in three years.

-Where is he? -Amman, Jordan.

In this kind of situation, a family member usually

goes overseas to identify the--

in what kind of a situation?

When an American citizen dies on foreign soil.

I understand you're his nearest relative?

Yeah...

I'm his only relative, um...

I can take you to him.

There's a flight for amman tonight.

Okay.

-I'll be right outside. -Mm-hmm.

It's gonna be hot, super-hot.

Thirty-seven degrees celsius.

That's almost 100 for us, fahrenheit.

I don't even know what to take to something like this.

So, um, how come, you know, you didn't see him for so long?

I don't know, um,

I mean, he lived over there and I lived over here.

Just work, you know, life.

Anyway, you remember the drill about the cats, right?

Yep, twice a day.

Fuzzy gets wet food in the morning

and zam gets dry because, you know, he's a real fatty.

And don't forget the fresh water.

Don't worry about fuzzy and zam, Rachel, okay?

I can even do my homework over here.

I'll take good care of them.

I know you will, you're awesome.

-I'm gonna miss you. -Thank you.

I think that's your mom.

-Ready? -Yep.

Do you wanna talk?

No.

He was smart,

David, he was so smart.

And he was really curious.

Kind of obsessive, actually.

Loved digging for things.

Always wanted to be an archaeologist.

And he worked freelance for a while

and then he moved to the middle east

because there were digging jobs over there,

but he was...

Naive, you know, he was an idealist.

What'd he dig for?

Religious objects and artifacts.

He was kind of a treasure hunter.

Indiana Jones?

That's what he sounds like to this desk jockey.

Have you ever been to the middle east before?

It can be a lot to take in at first.

Yeah.

I was born here.

-Moved to Ohio when I was a kid. -Oh.

Part mid-east, part mid-west, so, no worries.

I wasn't really worried.

There's no rush. Take all the time you need.

Jake, hold up!

Dr. rozman,

excuse me, I'm afraid there's been a complication.

Sorry to blindside you with this,

-i just found out myself. -What kind of a complication?

The Jordanians are holding onto the body.

They're looking into possible illegal activities.

-The theft of antiquities. -What?

And conspiracy to transport objects of cultural heritage

across international borders.

Those are serious crimes.

The ministry is upset.

Do you happen to know if your brother was

-part of any religious sect or-- -he was Jewish,

if that's what you mean. Who-- who are you?

I'm sorry. Conrad hanley,

special attach� with the American embassy

here in amman.

The police just have some questions--

she's a guest of state.

They have no right to interrogate her.

Interrogate? For what?

Your brother was handcuffed to his steering wheel...

Abandoned in the desert heat.

Notice the front tires were shot out.

This wasn't an accident, he was left there by somebody.

Do you know, why he was wearing a tuxedo?

I have no idea.

Your brother's cell phone,

unfortunately there was no signal in the desert.

He called you on April 9th?

-Yes. - What did you talk about?

He called me for my birthday, just wanted to say hello.

Did he mention what he was doing here?

Did he seem excited, scared?

Dr. rozman...

Do you know the name, Charles du plessis?

No, should I?

Eccentric French millionaire, lives in Dubai.

-I don't know anybody in Dubai. -Really?

He was the last person your brother tried to call.

Du plessis is a collector and your brother

was a kind of a...

-Mercenary archaeologist. -My brother liked to find things

they were knick-knacks he wasn't--

stolen knick-knacks? Dr. rozman,

the smuggling of antiquities is a lucrative

and nasty business.

If this was my brother and someone had just shown me

what we have shown you,

I would do everything I could--

so you think that I know why this happened to him?

Did he ever mention any business associates?

-Friends? -No.

-Enemies? -No!

Now, can I go, please?

Not yet.

One more photograph.

Your brother carved this in his left arm.

-I don't need to see this-- -he did this to himself--

-no! -We recovered his knife!

Look, this may be very important.

We believe it's a message, your brother was trapped

he was dehydrated and he knew he was dying.

So, in a sense, this was like his last word.

Is it a symbol, is it a map?

It must mean something.

-I don't know! -Take a good look!

I don't know.

I'm sorry.

Why? You didn't have anything to do with that?

You doing okay?

Can I see my brother's body now?

Of course.

This way.

They're keeping the body for now,

which gives us some leverage.

You think she's one of them?

No, no way.

You can't go by looks.

A lot of religious nut jobs seem perfectly normal.

My first wife.

Next paycheck says she's no cult member.

How about her brother?

Paycheck on him not being a loony?

Nope.

No bets on the brother, but...

She doesn't know anything.

-All right. When's her flight? -Tomorrow morning.

Take her to her brother's hotel.

Show her his room.

Maybe something will click.

They're holding his body hostage.

It's a criminal investigation.

Governments get touchy when the us

starts meddling in their affairs of state.

It's also a tactic, they're trying to put pressure on you.

Why?

-What do they think I know? -A name, a number, an address.

What the carving on his arm means.

They're looking for anything.

He needed money.

Okay, good, that's something. Money for what?

Rachel, did David say why he needed money?

He always needed money,

he just-- he wasn't very good at being a grown-up.

But did he say why this time?

He just said that things got weird

and he needed to get out of Jordan.

To where?

You know, if I had the answers to your questions

I wouldn't be sitting here trying to answer your questions.

Can you get his body released?

I can't, it's not my place.

David rozman's room, 702.

I'm so sorry, sir, i can't do that.

The seventh floor is off-limits at the moment.

It's impossible, i can't help you.

I'm sure there's something you can do.

Us state department...

In Jordan.

I still can't help you.

Thank you.

Hey.

-What are you doing? -Don't worry, I got this.

Got a few tricks up my sleeve.

Oh?

Way to go there, desk jockey.

-Yeah. -Excuse me.

The police did this?

No.

Somebody broke in afterwards.

Keep closed, keep them closed.

Okay, open them up!

Oh, David!

Aren't they beautiful?

Hey, look what I found.

An invitation to an event last week university of Jordan.

You read arabic?

It's in English on the back.

It's honoring an archaeology professor,

Abdul rahman al Ahmad.

So, something that someone might rent a tux for?

Professor al Ahmad, thank you for meeting with us.

I have only five minutes before my lecture.

You wanted to know about David rozman.

Yes, he's my brother.

Well, then you know him better than I do.

He's dead.

Under highly suspicious circumstances--

not that we think you're involved in any way.

Actually, we kind of do.

We-- we think that you might know something.

My brother, who never wore a suit in his entire life

rented a tuxedo in order to go to your fundraiser

before he died.

He went straight from the party to die out in the desert

and we were hoping that you might have some information

as to how that could have happened.

So, how did you know David rozman?

I met him, two weeks ago, at the university.

He insisted we meet again, so I gave him a time

to meet in my office.

Next day he calls and says,

he wants the meeting in a public space.

My office wouldn't do. People were after him.

He seemed unhinged,

so, I suggested he come to our fundraiser.

And what did you talk about at the party?

I never saw Mr. rozman.

I was told he met with a woman. She caused quite a scene.

I'm sorry, professor, what kind of a scene?

Who was this woman?

I don't know, she's a drunk foreigner.

They left together. Now, excuse me...

It's time for my class.

Um...

I bet you there's a list, for the fundraiser

and that woman's name is gonna be on it.

I'm guessing lonely nights,

watching Sherlock Holmes on TV with ice cream and flannel pjs.

First of all, nobody wears flannel in Los Angeles

and secondly, a lot can be gleaned

from watching Sherlock Holmes.

-Can you get us a list? -No.

Why not?

My job is to escort you to ID your brother's body--

-no, Jake-- -I'm not investigating a crime.

They're not gonna release his body if we don't find out

what happened to him, you heard them, people were after him.

My job is also to keep you safe.

-You're my responsibility. -My brother wasn't unhinged!

You haven't seen him for three years.

Okay, fine, what's next?

-The airport hotel. -What?

Look, I'm sorry about your brother

but we're not here to play detective.

You're getting on that plane tomorrow.

I'm not putting you in danger.

I wanna stay at David's hotel.

-No. -Please!

Please, I can feel him there

and after tomorrow, he's gonna be gone

and maybe you can't understand that--

no!

We're not here in an official capacity.

I'm sorry, there are no rooms available.

Um...

We just need a place to stay.

For one night.

Queen-size bed?

-Two rooms. -Two rooms.

-Sure you're gonna be okay? -Yep, there's a pool,

and I brought a swimsuit, it helps me relax.

Good, you do that, you relax.

-Let the police do their work. -Yep.

Two toothbrushes...

One of them could be that woman's.

Yeah, of course there's no way to know for sure

but, ruthie, I found lingerie.

Red, Lacy, sexy, just the kind that a woman

who makes scenes in public would wear.

Yeah, okay, what does agent "what's-his-name" think?

He doesn't think.

All he does is follow the rules and say, "no."

It sounds a little crazy, rach.

I know, I know, it is crazy.

And David was sometimes a little crazy.

Ruthie, I can't leave until I find out what happened

to David.

All right, but, Rachel, be safe.

Okay.

David!

-Hey. -Ah!

-Something wrong? -Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry...

-You scared me. -I look that bad?

No, you look great.

There's a place across the street

if you want to grab dinner later.

Done.

Would you be offended if I ordered a drink?

No, why would that offend me?

Because you're a Muslim, right?

You don't know many muslims, do you?

Please, have a drink, have two.

I'd join you, but I'm on the job.

Yeah...

Don't want to break any of those state department rules.

Can I take a rain check, though?

You ever hear the joke about the Jew and the Muslim...

Who went into a bar?

No.

Nor did I. I don't think there is one.

I googled it once.

I had to give a toast at a friend's bachelor party.

He's a palestinian guy... Married a Jewish girl.

-Seriously? -Yeah, met on j-date.

How?

He joined the site on a dare and hit the j-jackpot.

And what did their families think about that?

It was a pretty big deal, as you can imagine.

You know, his mom had been badgering him for years

to settle down with a good Muslim palestinian girl.

She'd been networking all her friends and family

setting up introductions.

He was always on that, um-- you know,

hotmuslimlove.Com. You wouldn't know that.

No, no, I didn't even know there was one.

Anyway, no chance

so, in the end, she was like okay,

-as long as she's arab Muslim. -Mm-hmm.

As long as she's Muslim.

-Yeah. -So, finally,

mazel tov! And yeah, he got his girl.

Anyway, there she was at the wedding and uh...

Now she's a grandma.

I like that.

You sure you don't want any dessert?

No, no I don't...

I've got a dessert rule, twice a week,

that's it, already met it.

It's only Tuesday.

Now I don't have to think about it

for the rest of the week.

-Is that lame? -No, it's fine.

That's a great view.

-Think so? -Yeah.

-It's a beautiful city. -It's a beautiful country.

You know, you should see it sometime.

Yeah.

Do you feel like breaking the rules for once?

Why don't you try me?

I think that we should meet with du plessis.

-The guy that my... -Aw, come on.

...brother worked for...

-Rachel, I know who he is, okay? -...The frenchman--

-so, how far is it? -We're not going to Dubai.

-Why? -I don't have the clearance.

Okay, fine, I'll talk to your supervisor.

You'll talk to my sup--

I don't work in a call center, Rachel.

Just go home, okay?

I'll stay here in amman and see what strings I can pull.

It's the best I can do.

Okay, fine, agent alshadi

you do that.

I'm gonna go, it's late, i got an early flight.

Remember when I said, you can't tell by looks,

with religious terrorists?

This guy on the other hand, face out of central casting.

Who is he?

Mousa abyad, a Baker from up north near jerash.

Learned how to make bombs off the Internet.

Latest intel puts him here in amman.

Any, uh-- any luck with getting the Jordanians

to release the body?

Jake, that's us...

We asked them not to release it.

What?

Plan-b.

Mothers wants her here a few more days.

Why? I just spent the evening telling--

he's the only one we've been able to ID.

Now he's here.

Let's see who else crawls out of the woodwork.

She doesn't know where the scroll is.

Well, the crazies don't know that.

And frankly, Jake, neither do you.

What am I supposed to say to her, huh?

Actually, Dr. rozman, stick around

we'd like to use you as bait.

Well...

Make it a little more charming.

Room 802, please.

I'm sorry sir, room 802 isn't answering.

Thanks.

Ladies and gentlemen,

our flight time to Dubai will be approximately three hours.

Flight attendants, please prepare for takeoff.

You trying to get me fired?

First class to Dubai?

How did you find me?

I work for the us government, remember?

Yeah, the state department, not the CIA.

-I'm not leaving this plane. -Then neither am I.

Orange juice or champagne, sir?

Orange juice,

-shaken, not stirred. -Oh god.

You know your rogue operation,

is costing the taxpayer a lot of money.

You know that might be true, if it wasn't for the fact

that I actually paid for my own ticket.

I didn't.

So what's the plan?

Just knock on du plessis' door and say hi?

No, he's expecting me.

How'd that happen?

I made a phone call. Personal touch,

it goes a long way.

I'm sure he will be right down, ma'am.

Thank you.

Dr. rozman, welcome.

And who is your handsome companion?

Jake alshadi, uh, family friend.

Come, Mr. alshadi, you're with the us state department.

You don't think I vet everyone that comes through that door?

A man in my position has to be careful.

You know what they say here?

"Trust in god, but tie up your camels."

Dr. rozman, allow me to offer you my sincerest condolences.

Thank you.

Your brother was a very engaging man.

A real connoisseur of ancient cultures.

I enjoyed his company a great deal.

This way, please.

How much do you know

about the dead sea scrolls, Dr. rozman?

Not much, I mean I know that they were manuscripts

and they were found in caves.

Why did a team of religious scholars

suppress them for 44 years?

On orders from the Vatican

because they deny the virgin birth?

But how could it be otherwise?

Even the word, "scroll" is misleading.

Most of the dead sea manuscripts are badly damaged fragments.

Those scraps have been pieced together creatively

to translate into different meanings for different people.

Together they might shed light on the inspiration

for the holy books of the world's great religions.

It was your brother, who encouraged me

to play out a hunch that there might be more to be found.

After four years of scouring caves

David found a new piece, not a fragment, mind you,

a scroll, perhaps the largest ever found.

Perhaps the key to the other texts, and then

the prick stole it from me!

-Mr.-- -no, no, no, no.

I didn't kill him.

My passion for collecting only goes so far.

So, who did?

I wouldn't be wasting my time with the us state department

if I knew.

Mr. du plessis, what was written on the scroll?

I've never seen it.

Hardly fair, is it, since I paid a fortune

for its discovery.

What's it worth?

An intact dead sea scroll? Oh my, it's beyond price.

You have heard of the...

Elgin marbles, Dr. rozman?

Well, imagine the du plessis scroll.

Such a discovery can make a man's name last forever.

It would be the centerpiece of my collection

of my life's work.

You see, my agenda is simple, i want what's mine back.

Dr. rozman, I'm afraid you have no idea how entangled you are

in a very dangerous business.

David and I were not the only ones scroll hunting.

Word got out of our find.

Several religious groups are interested in this manuscript.

-Why? -They think it's a prophecy,

a road map till the end of the world.

To these people, god's word and god's judgment

are one in the same.

There's a particular fanatical sect calling themselves

-the, "armageddon-ites." -Catchy.

They think the scroll will hasten their desired goal

the end of days.

It's a call to arms

a trigger for world war III.

Yeah, it sounds preposterous

but everyday there are people all over the world,

killing one another for what they believe is the word of god.

David was only one victim.

In Jordan, you were shown a symbol

-a road map carved into his arm. -Yes!

What does it mean?

I don't know.

The Jordanian authorities won't lead you

to the truth of his murder.

Neither will the us government.

They have a different agenda and they're not on your side.

Despite David's disappointing actions at the end

my memories of your brother are fond.

So, if I can be of any assistance...

Yes, Mr. du plessis, um...

Can you tell me who's in this photo with David?

The man is beltran reyes and she is Anya slovin.

They both work for me.

Doing what?

Business negotiations.

Do you know if my brother and Anya were involved?

Is that important?

Well, I found clothing belonging to a woman

at his hotel room and he was seen arguing with a woman

the night that he disappeared.

So, um, Anya was sleeping with David?

Well, call it a sister's intuition.

Well, then you should talk to her and to beltran.

They're both in Jordan.

I'll let them know that you're coming.

Thank you.

We're about to get on the plane, coach this time.

Looking out for the American taxpayer.

Good work, Jake.

She might have found the mystery woman.

She's been a stroke of good luck, hasn't she?

She got du plessis' attention.

Play it out with her.

Well, even if that puts her in danger?

We're not keeping her against her will.

Let's let her help us.

By taking advantage of her grief.

Our job is to get the scroll.

Keep it out of the crazies' hands.

Or else what? Armageddon?

Do you know what's on my desk, Jake?

Two suicide bombings this morning.

A new Isis kidnapping

and a bunch of religious lunatics looking for a scroll.

That's a fire we can put out.

Good to go.

This is beltran reyes, leave me a message.

Hi, beltran, this is Rachel rozman.

Charles du plessis gave me your number

and I was hoping that I could talk to you

about my brother, David.

Um-- I'll try reaching out to Anya slovin.

We'll be in touch.

It's that one.

Yes, yes, I'm at her apartment right now.

She's right here.

Hello?

Yes, yes, i saw two men leaving

the building as I entered.

Um, muscular build, one of them had a hip problem.

Yeah, my name? Jack Bauer.

Okay, I'll give her a call. Okay, when will you be here?

Is that Anya?

-Oh my god, she's dead. -Yes, I'll be waiting for you.

Apartment 601. Bye.

-Rachel rozman? -Yeah.

I'm beltran reyes, your brother was my friend.

-I work for du plessis. -Jake alshadi, us state--

you shouldn't have brought her here, agent alshadi.

-You're putting her in danger. -Like I had a choice.

We need to get you two out of here right now.

Come on, let's go.

The police will take care of this.

This way.

- What happened back there? - They found her, stubborn girl.

She should have just left the country.

Why would they kill her?

Same reason they killed your brother.

He had noble intentions

he wanted to take the scroll to a museum in the us

and keep it safely there.

-Where's your car? -We took a cab.

Not a good idea, drivers talk, they'll follow you.

If we're lucky, they don't know who you are yet.

-Who? -Could be anyone. Him or him.

Paranoid much?

When your enemy is invisible it's wise to be paranoid.

They know who I am, so let me play decoy, yes?

You know the king Abdullah mosque?

-The blue top? -Yeah.

There is an old church across the street from it.

I'll meet you there with a car, but perhaps buy something.

Just in case you've been watched. See you in a bit.

Do I look like the whole nine yards?

- What? - Ayatollah.

No.

-What is it? -Jake,

are those guys following us?

Over my shoulder.

I think I just blew 40 dinars on this outfit.

Come on, in here.

I don't get it, it should be right around here somewhere.

We-- we've gone too far.

I thought you knew where we were going.

-I do! -We're lost?

You hear the call to prayer?

Yeah, it's coming from over there.

Actually, it's bouncing off that wall, it's that way.

What is it called again? King Abdullah mosque?

Is that with a "u" or with an "a"?

Wait a minute, are you GPS-ing this?

Yes.

This way!

-I'm-- I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. -Which way is the church?

-This way. -Thank you.

Go, go!

Hurry up, get in!

- Rachel? - Please.

-Rachel? -Please, get in!

Hang on a second.

Go, go, go, go.

We're good.

Who are you?

-I'm lisbeth. -Hi. Where's beltran?

-Where are we going? -Somewhere safe.

Funny, I don't feel safe. Do you feel safe?

Are you aware that Jesus was a Jew, Dr. rozman?

Oh shit, here we go.

What's going on?

Jake?

In fact, he's actually best understood

as a first-century Jewish apocalypticist.

Oh, you won't be needing that. Khaleel?

His, too.

Jesus believed the world would come to an end in his lifetime.

We never had the pleasure of meeting you nut jobs.

Now stop the car, I work for the government.

And we work for a higher power.

Do you know what happened to my brother?

The devil whispered in his ear.

Where'd he hide the scroll, Rachel?

Hey!

Hey!

She doesn't know, now stop the car!

Stop the car!

No! No! Get off of him!

Jake! Jake!

- Jake!

Jake!

Jake?

Jake!

Hey, hey, it's okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

-It's okay. -Oh god.

He's not your friend.

He was using you.

Now, we-- we are on the path of righteousness.

Walk with us.

What happened to my brother?

He was punished, because he was a thief.

By you?

We didn't kill him.

It was god's will

he didn't escape the desert heat.

Go to hell.

No, no, no.

Oh god.

Hello.

What the hell.

Um--

Jake?

-Jake! -Wha--

-whoa, no, no, no. -You okay?

-Yeah, never been better. -Okay, good.

-Get in the car, Jake. -Oh, come on--

-way to go. -Lisbeth?

-No, no, no, no, no! -Lisbeth!

- Look at me, kid, look at me. - Hey, shh.

It's okay, it's okay.

Sing to the lord a new song.

Praise his name. Proclaim his salvation.

Declare his glory among the nations.

For great is the lord

and he is to be feared above all gods.

There's still time to save yourselves.

From eternal damnation or from your crap?

Oh, Jake.

You really think we're candidates for conversion

to your cause, hm?

-She's Jewish, I'm Muslim. -God loves all people!

He gives every soul opportunity,

even if it's only one in a million.

You are wasting your time, lady.

I'm on the lord's time.

Rachel?

-Yes? -Just imagine...

Once the lord has his number of redeemed

the world's gonna come to an end.

Oh.

And he's gonna raise up all his chosen

in his divine rapture and we...

We can eat from the tree of life.

I-- I'd like that.

-Together. -Yes.

And the scroll is the key.

So,

where'd your brother hide the scroll?

I don't know.

Khaleel! Come here!

--Jake!

He'll keep doing this until your memory is jogged.

You know what, that's fine.

I don't even know this guy, i met him three days ago.

-What? -I don't care about him.

I don't care about him, either.

See.

Jake!

I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.

All the earth.

Among the nations, the lord reigns.

Let the heavens rejoice...

And the earth be glad.

Let the sea roar and all that is in it.

And let the field be joyful

and all that is in it.

Then, all the trees of the wood shall rejoice before the lord.

For he cometh.

Your brother was my friend.

To judge earth.

Jake!

Jake.

Oh!

No.

Pity.

Rachel...

Where'd your brother hide the scroll?

I don't know.

If you move,

he will shoot you.

Khaleel?

Jake?

Oh god.

Hey, so, how you doing? Um, are you afraid?

Because I'm really, really afraid right now.

And, we gotta get out of here.

No?

You know how you said, god loves all people?

He does...

He really, really does.

And if you could, would you help us?

Would you just walk over to that table

and grab one of those knives and get me out of these ropes?

Yes.

Please?

Okay, please.

-No! -Okay, got it.

Um-- so then, why don't you do it?

You could just walk right over there and cut these ropes off.

It'd be so fun.

-Lisbeth! -No, no, no!

-Lisbeth! -No!

Jake!

-Okay, we bust out of here. -Uh-huh.

Find a crowd, marketplace, a public square.

-You got the gun? -Jake, I don't do guns, okay?

-Really? -Okay.

So, the thing to keep in mind here,

is that there are better ways to follow god.

-Rachel! Come on! -Yeah, okay.

Wait, keys.

What the hell?

-Jake, escalade. -Good idea.

Wow, yes!

Jake, what are you doing?

Rachel!

Jake! Hang on!

Get down!

--Now get on the ground!

I said on the ground!

Woo! Yes! Woo-hoo!

-Next time wear a shirt. -Get in the car!

You stay down!

Ready? Here we go!

-Take your time. -Woo!

- Whoa! - Khaleel! Khaleel!

Come on!

-I think we lost them. -Jake!

-You were amazing back there. -Jake, listen to me.

Okay, so, the reason that I'm here

is because I'm my brother's only living relative, right?

You said that was standard operating procedure.

-Right. -So, I remembered something.

My brother had a mentor in college

he was a visiting professor from Jordan.

A biblical scholar.

Jake, he had a Spanish classmate.

-Beltran. -Okay, and?

My brother wanted us to find him.

-Who? -Fawaz azzam, the professor.

-That's his name? -Yes.

And this is where it gets interesting, so,

David found two kittens at a dig once

he named them after fawaz azzam.

But he didn't have time to take care of them

so he gave them to me.

-Fawaz azzam? -Yeah,

"fuzzy" and "zam" actually.

--Oh, no.

Oh, shit, apocalypse Annie.

God is coming for you, heathens!

Hang tight, here we go!

Agh!

-Keep your head down! -You think?

Hang on.

Agh! God! What is she, crazy?

-What are you doing? -Keep it steady.

Careful!

-You can't escape god's wrath! -I can't hear you!

-What are you doing! -Shout louder!

Son of a bitch!

I'm out.

-You got a better idea? -Uh.

Oh, Rachel, Rachel!

Pull up next to them, come on!

-What is she doing? -Here she comes, here she comes!

What are y'all gonna do now?

-Jake? -Watch out!

Get down! -Whoa!

- Khaleel!

What? -Really?

-Oh, yes! -Hallelujah!

-Yes! -Drive the car! Drive the car!

Yes, yes.

- Nice driving, kid. - Thank you.

Jake? Look at this.

My brother knew that I was gonna identify his body

so he carved that into his arm.

It's a message, Jake, for me.

It's not a river.

It's the cats.

"Fuzzy" and "zam."

Cats? Really?

David wanted me to find fawaz azzam

because he knows something about the scroll.

Beltran will know how to find him.

Rachel, that is a pretty thin thread.

Well, do you have a better idea?

Oh, no.

No gas, no signal and half a bottle of water between us.

Unless you want to drink washer fluid.

So, what's the plan?

I guess we sit tight until the sun drops a bit.

Or someone passes by.

And let's hope the crazies don't find us.

You know, the trick to this is to conserve your energy.

So, we both have to keep our mouths shut.

Easier for some then others, right?

I'm serious. And we have to cover our mouths, too.

Slows the rate of dehydration from breathing

it's a scientific fact.

-Really? -Yeah.

-Wow. -Hm.

How's that?

It's very chic.

I spy with my little eye, something beginning with, "s".

Sand.

Eyes this way. I gotta go and pee.

David?

David!

You okay?

Yeah.

Come on, change of plan. We're walking.

Where are we heading?

I'm bedouin, I can get us out.

With what, your bedouin radar?

My birth name is yakub alshadi.

My grandfather lived in a tent.

It's in my blood.

Jake, you were raised in Ohio.

I came back in the summers.

For what? For bedouin camp? You have a desk job.

You weren't even able to get us out of that market today

without a GPS.

I'm gonna get us out of here, I promise.

We'll find some bedouins or some camels.

I shouldn't have left her

with him, they disappeared.

You were supposed to keep them with you.

How could you lose them?

I'll find them, I promise.

Don't make promises you can't keep.

-Was Anya sleeping with David? -Seems so.

She was like a daughter to me.

That would have been inappropriate.

Beltran reyes?

Gotta go.

How can I help you?

I'm afraid, i won't be much help.

Anything at all that can help us find the missing us agent.

I've left messages, several times,

so naturally, I'm very worried.

They went to meet you at the apartment

of the dead woman. What happened after that?

We split up, so I could get my car.

We were supposed to meet in front of the church.

Why didn't you?

By the time I got there, they were gone.

And what does Mr. du plessis have to say?

Du plessis has nothing to do with this.

What are you doing in the middle east, beltran?

Protecting my friends. What about you?

Give me a call if you hear anything.

So, we get to beltran to get to fawaz azzam.

Beltran, beltran, great.

- He was David's friend. - We don't need beltran.

Once we get a signal, I'll make a phone call.

We'll be out of here in no time.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

What are you doing?

Channeling my inner bedouin.

My grandfather was the camel whisperer.

It's spectacular, isn't it?

Yeah.

You can see why religions started in the desert.

Jake, do you think we're gonna get out of here?

It'll be dawn soon, we should get some rest.

- You shivering? - Yeah.

That's actually supposed to be good.

It's when you stop shivering,

you have to worry about hypothermia.

Yeah? Here.

Thank you.

-You got it? -Yeah.

You want an arm?

Yeah, sure, body warmth.

- It's a good survival strategy.

You ever hear the joke about the beautiful Jewish woman

and the Muslim man who went out into the desert?

There isn't one.

Not so sure anymore.

Jake, if we don't make it out of here,

who would identify your body?

I don't know.

Some state department bureaucrat probably.

Makes you feel pretty alone, doesn't it?

We're not alone.

Jake?

Jake?

- What? - Wake up!

Really?

Where do you think the owners are?

I don't know, i don't see anyone.

- Come on. - Oh, my god.

Jake!

Yeah, that's right.

--I know.

Oh my god!

-Wow. -What?

I'm coming, Rachel.

I gotta get my shoes.

Hey, hut!

Well, mine's not going anywhere.

Yallah, yallah!

Hut!

Is the Wi-Fi on?

Fawaz azzam, no got nothing.

- I don't know. I think-- - mm.

-I gotta call the office. -Wait, where are you going?

Outside. Better reception.

Um-- stay in here, out of the heat.

Wow.

Hello?

Rachel, I've been worried about you.

Where are you?

I-- I don't know, we're in a--

-village in the desert, I guess. -In the desert?

We were supposed to meet at the church.

Beltran, did my brother ever tell you

about a man named fawaz azzam?

He was a Jordanian professor, he taught in the us.

Fawaz azzam?

Yes, he was our professor.

She's right.

Goddamn kitties.

- How's she holding up? - She's great.

Why wouldn't she be?

She's been lied to, interrogated chased by lunatics.

Still, at least she got a free camel ride.

Listen carefully, Rachel.

Is agent alshadi with you?

Yeah, he's on the phone.

What do you think the us government

wanted from David?

They're, uh, texting me the address and phone number.

You know, you might think about switching carriers.

I got great reception in here.

Oh yeah, who'd you call?

Beltran, he called me.

What did he want?

Just to make sure we're still alive.

Well, that's rich, coming from him.

What else did he say?

Nothing. I told him to meet us at fawaz azzam's.

Nice.

What do you have against him anyway?

I don't like his beard.

Well, he was my brother's friend, so,

I trust him.

You know, if it wasn't for beltran

we wouldn't be here right now.

Jake, if you knew your way around amman

we wouldn't have ended up getting in the wrong car.

Wait, I only got in that car because of you.

And I was trying to save our asses,

which I swear is your job.

If it wasn't for me

we'd still be wandering around the desert!

And if it wasn't for me you'd still be tied up

-to a pole in the bunker! -Yeah.

Getting punched by some guy, trying to protect you!

-What about the car chase? -What about the car chase?

Fine, you know what?

You don't want beltran around.

I'll go see fawaz azzam, on my own.

I don't need you!

Welcome to Jordan.

Something for your wife?

There he is.

Mothers thinks you might be losing it.

So he sent you to babysit?

He sent me to remind you to do your job.

You're letting it get personal.

You need to see the bigger picture.

Be careful.

This place is like a time warp.

I think it's here?

-Greetings! -Greetings.

-Greetings. -State your business.

Rozman, Rachel rozman.

We're here to see fawaz azzam.

It's you.

It is!

I apologize for my grandson's behavior.

Dear, Rachel.

I take it since you are here that David...

-Has disappeared. -Yes. Found, but gone.

My deepest sympathies.

But I'm not surprised,

the last time I saw him, i was very worried about him.

-Who have you brought here? -Uh-- Jake, sir, Jake alshadi.

Come, beltran is already here.

Okay.

There we go.

- Thank you.

-Hello, Rachel. -Hey.

I am very sorry to see you here, dear Rachel.

-Why? -David asked me for a favor.

If you ever come to my door,

I should give you something he left with me.

The scroll?

Extremely dangerous. David knew that.

Just a piece of paper.

Anything can be a weapon

for the right kind of imagination.

Imagination of fanatics.

Well, isn't it true that the us government

has many men who believe in the end of days?

Even some of your presidents.

And he wanted me to have it?

Yes, you alone.

It's here?

It's all right.

Hm.

Have you opened it yet?

It's too fragile. Even to touch by hand.

It should be examined in a proper lab.

We think that my brother was killed for it,

-by a religious group. -Yes, the armageddon-ites.

The apocalypse has always had great appeal.

God created the world.

Man pollutes and profanes it. God will destroy it.

That's the message they are meant to deliver.

The world as it is,

and the world as it should be.

But it always ends in a massacre.

Tell me, Rachel,

what did David want you to do with it?

He wanted it to go to a museum.

Good.

You've brought snakes to my garden, dear Rachel.

Duck!

-Come on, there will be others. -Okay. Jake, he's not breathing!

Rachel, Rachel, we need to move, come on!

He's not breathing!

-Come on. -No.

Come on, let's go!

- Come on, come on. - Rachel, let's go.

Oh, shit.

-All right, my car. -Okay.

How did they know that we were gonna be at fawaz azzam's?

Maybe they followed beltran.

What? Are you kidding me?

Maybe they followed agent hanley.

Why don't you cut the crap, Jake?

The us government has an interest in the scroll

which differs from Charles du plessis'.

Yeah, they want to destroy it.

Keep it out of the hands of the lunatics.

They've been using you to find it, Rachel.

Is that true?

Your brother dug up a problem the world didn't need.

We had to try and fix it.

Was her brother also a problem to fix?

Come on, who has the resources, the connections

with the Jordanian police to hide the fact they killed him?

What are you implying?

Well, it wouldn't be difficult for you guys to stage

that tragic death scene in the desert, would it?

If the us government went to the trouble

of killing David rozman and covering up his death

we would have had the scroll long ago.

-So, then what happened? -I don't know.

But you don't care either, do you?

This was never about my brother.

Rachel, we had to find out what you knew.

We had to find out what was in the scroll.

Stop the car, please, beltran, now.

What are you doing? Rachel, we have the scroll, it's over!

-I can't trust you! -You can't trust him!

Give me your phone.

Give her the phone.

The phone!

And-- and-- uh, your wallet!

Really?

Rachel, I've been trying to protect you.

Yeah, because it's your job, right?

Choose to!

-Think about what you're doing. -I told you, Jake

I don't need you. I can do this on my own.

Please, Rachel, listen to me, if i--

I'm sorry.

Wait, wait.

Goddamn you!

It's gonna be okay, Rachel.

Don't worry, it's gonna be fine.

How did you know about Jake?

Well, du plessis is a very rich man.

He's got many friends.

This is Jake!

Yeah, I need a car and a driver!

My brother died for this scroll

there's no way I'm giving it to du plessis

just so he can hang it on his wall.

David never would have wanted that.

You know, Rachel, to be honest,

du plessis is a blind man, and pathetic.

His mistress was sleeping with your brother.

-Anya slovin? -Yep.

She was beautiful and ambitious.

What are you getting at?

Isn't it obvious?

The scroll is valuable.

Your brother had it, she wanted it.

So, she killed my brother?

Du plessis had no idea of Anya's betrayal until you told him.

You remember, a woman with red lingerie,

who stopped your brother from giving away the scroll?

We were both quite surprised.

I don't-- I don't understand what you're saying, it doesn't--

okay, okay, give me a second.

We need to get out of this country right now.

We'll get you back home safely.

This is the best you could do?

I'll drive. We're looking for a blue Honda civic,

give me the keys.

Mm, I was told you're off the case.

Give me the damn keys, cronin!

Not gonna happen.

Can I use your phone?

Sorry, Jake,

this mess is escalating with hanley dead.

You're off the case.

We're putting together a team.

She's my responsibility.

Not anymore.

She might get hurt, even killed.

Listen Jake, a us agent is dead, it's a CIA issue now.

You're not qualified to handle this, so stay out of it.

You're not gonna do anything?

I got you the ride back, take it.

Listen, uh, I'm sorry.

What for?

This.

Screw you, man!

Nice shoes.

- Yes? - Is the scroll okay?

Don't worry, it's with me.

Did du plessis killed Anya?

- Where are you? - We're in Petra.

You did?

I know,

but you know, all he had to do was tell me what it was.

You have to understand, it was his fault, not mine.

Who are you?

Let's say...

A simple servant of god.

And you can be as well, Rachel.

I'm in Petra, you have any idea what your boy beltran is up to?

You tell me,

he took my new escalade.

A gold escalade?

Beige interior.

Which I just learned has been found in the desert.

Agent alshadi?

The car we were kidnapped in.

Beltran's an armageddon-ite!

What a pretty face you have.

You don't have to be frightened, I'm not going to hurt you.

I have no reason to.

You should envy David.

He was allowed to die in the service of god.

God has a plan for you, Rachel, and it's beautiful.

But you must understand

for those who know they are living

in the last days of the world death takes on a new meaning.

You'll see.

Stop the car!

Please help!

There's a man-- that man, he's trying to kill me!

Rachel!

Thank you.

The day of the lord is upon all the nations!

And it shall be as though they have never been.

You get any closer and I swear to you

I will throw this over the edge.

Don't be foolish, give it to me.

No.

Are you willing to make the same sacrifice

as your brother, Rachel?

Because I promise I'll kill you for it.

Drop the gun, beltran!

Jake?

Admit it, you're happy to see me.

Yeah.

I said drop the gun!

You drop it, agent alshadi!

-Shit. -Or we'll kill you both.

-You okay? -Yeah. Good to see you.

You can only shoot one of us.

Come on, drop it.

Kick it to me.

No!

Agh!

Jake?

-No! -Don't move.

You don't know what you've done.

It's over. It's gone.

That scroll was more important than your life.

It belonged to me and you'll be judged for it.

Jake?

Jake? Jake?

Oh, god. Jake, listen to me.

You gotta talk to me, come on, Jake.

You feel that? That is my hand.

You and I are walking out of here tonight.

- Jake, come on, wake up.

Help! Help!

Jake, I want you to talk to me.

Listen to me, this is Rachel, can you hear me?

Jake, you've been hurt.

Hey.

Hey.

Now that's a pretty good looking poster.

"The rozman scrolls" has a nice ring to it.

Yeah.

I'm so proud of David.

I think it took two rozmans to make that happen.

So, what'd the researchers say?

They said that they keep finding new artifacts every day.

They think that this might be an entire

ancient library of key texts.

Wow. Here's to David's legacy.

Yeah.

-We should go celebrate. -Sure, where do you want to go?

There's a place near here

that has the best baklava in the city.

Baklava?

What about your dessert rule?

What dessert rule?

Didn't you say you only have two desserts in one week?

I didn't say that. Did I say that?

-Yeah. -Must have been some other guy.

The guy who took a bullet for you

doesn't have a dessert rule.

Oh, okay, yes, you're very courageous.

Thanks, just doing my job

saving the world from armageddon.

You know what?

If you actually think about it...

You didn't actually take a bullet for me.

I'm the one who threw the scroll to deflect the gun

so, technically, I'm the one who saved your life.

-Technically? -Mm-hmm.

I threw myself in front of that bullet

because you were backed up against a cliff.

I was busy saving your life.

I have the scars to prove it.

The scars?

Oh no, no, that was singular. "Scar".

-Well, it's a pretty big scar. -Uh-huh.

How's it feel?

It's tender.

How about...

Now?
