[Volume increases]

[Rewinding]

[Brakes creak]

[Engine stops]

I ask you to do this, Charlie, for me.

**

For love.

For our great revolution.

What -- What happens when I get there?

You will drop off the car at Salzburg train station.

Place the keys in the exhaust and walk away.

And then?

And then my people will seek you out.

**

Show me.

**

I need to see it.

[Ceiling rips]

**

[Exhales sharply] Becker: Don't worry.

It won't actually be used to blow anyone up.

Semtex is popular because it's stable.

But I wouldn't light a cigarette in there.

**

**

Greek Drachma, Yugoslavian Dinar,

Austrian Schilling, Deutsche Mark.

**

I will take you to the first border.

That's close as we can get.

Marty said...

[Car door closes]

Charlie: Taking me to the border wasn't part of the plan, was it?

The Yugoslav border shouldn't prove difficult.

Now, the Austrian border, that's more serious.

Stay alert. Show them no nerves.

[Paper rustles]

Since you don't keep a diary,

we've decided to keep one for you.

[Gasps]

[Scoffs]

Wha...

[Sighs]

You have a habit of chewing your pencils

when you're thinking.

[Inhales sharply] This is completely normal.

And we wrote to one another, dozens of letters,

arranging our meeting in Greece.

Where are they?

I do not permit you to carry them with you.

Shame.

Could've done with a saucy read.

You have kept them in a safe place in your home.

I asked you where might be best to hide them.

And I said inside the pocket of the case of my first guitar.

Gift from my dad.

[Chuckles]

[Sighs deeply]

He tricked me. I thought I broke him.

Miss Bach: He lied about Salzburg.

He could lie again.

He's clever.

So, what do we do now?

Kurtz: Now...it's my turn.

**

[Door rattles]

[Door opens]

**

My name is Martin Kurtz.

**

Hm.

**

[Grunts]

[Sniffs]

**

"Kurtz" is sounding like

the word "short" in German,

as I'm sure you know.

My friends used to call me "Short-fuse Marty."

Hm.

Anna Witgen traveled to Salzburg

on her way to deliver your brother's latest bomb.

Always a second plan, never the same place twice.

Isn't that your method?

Maybe there is more of Khalil in you than I thought.

Your people were forced into the wilderness,

deprived of their homes, left to suffer in the camps.

Did they do this to you in the camp in Jordan?

[Michel groans]

I grew up in a camp myself

a long time ago.

I know how it feels.

[Whimpers, groans]

Then you are worse than any of them.

Mm, perhaps.

But you...

[Muffled groan]

You are not made for this fight...

[Exhales sharply] ...Salim.

[Breathes shakily] A red Mercedes

with a blonde bombshell in the passenger's seat --

fine.

Not a bomb.

[Grunts]

Now, when I realized you lied about the drop,

that made me angry.

But then I recognized something, and I laughed.

We have been lying to you.

Come here. I have something to show you.

It's okay.

It's perfectly safe.

[Door slamming on tape player]

[Tape player clicks, sound stops]

Come.

The truth.

**

**

The photo of Khalil --

It was pieced together using pictures of your family

and of you, by the talented Mr. Schwilli.

The rest of the team, you've met.

**

Your receipts. Your collection of matchbooks.

We found it very helpful.

**

[Window blind rustles]

[Children playing outside]

You are in Munich.

You have been here for two days.

Why?

Why are you showing me this?

Life, Salim.

[Playing continues]

Where are you taking that car?

When I first came to Europe,

do you know what surprised me the most?

Nobody cares.

**

Nobody cares.

**

Enough bloodshed, Salim.

**

There, uh...

There is no location set.

I decide it.

**

Thank you.

[Whimpering]

A square in Austria. [Sniffles]

It will need good vantage points,

good cover.

A train ride from here

so Charlie is never alone for too long,

and light tourism too.

We don't want any collateral.

[Sniffling]

Salim is honest now.

[Rock music playing over radio] * Harana

[Imitating guitar riff]

* Bi-ni-ni-na-na-na-na, let's go *

* Ah-me-na-na and then pick your toe *

* Take me to the park and then *

* Me-ne-me-ne-me is enshala

* Me-ne-mon-oh-nom-oh-no

* Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Kurtz: There has been a slight change of location.

Instead of Salzburg,

we wish to move our work to...

[Pen scratching]

[Piano playing in distance]

Alexis: Well...

if you want me to be of use to you,

Herr Schulmann,

I have to be of more use to Cologne,

as you promised.

[Plate clinks]

[Chewing]

If I were you,

I'd keep my eyes on the roads

of Southern Germany in the coming week.

I have a feeling

a little gift might light up your investigation

sooner than you think.

Is this an operation --

[Clicks tongue]

Sometimes we must take our victories, Paul,

not question them.

[Lighter clicks]

[Lighter clangs]

Good sir.

[Yugoslavian folk music playing]

[Keys rattle]

Rachel: Charlie.

Bloody hell, what are you doing here?

Oh, my God. [Chuckles]

What are you -- How fantastic to see you.

Long way from Greece. Yeah, long way.

Wh-Where are you heading to? Did you ever make it to Delphi?

Yeah, we did. We did, actually.

[Chuckles] Yeah. It was really nice.

[Tile clinks]

Have you never played this game before?

Oh, piss off.

[Snickers]

You still headed to Salzburg, by the way?

Heard it's deadly dull off-season.

Well, you were the one who suggested it.

Should I go somewhere else?

Kleinalm is pretty.

[Tile clinks]

Nice cafés, lovely square.

Gutigplatz.

**

You know that old man in Greece?

Did he really have a wife?

[Tile clinks]

[Lighter clatters]

Did she jump, or was she pushed?

**

Jumped.

**

[Snaps fingers]

-Sir? -I need to send a telegram.

**

I decide it.

I send a telegram to my lawyers in Zurich, twice.

Send it twice. Once now...

[Coins rattle]

...once in the morning.

Litvak: After rush hour,

traffic drops down to its minimum.

That's our golden hour.

Litvak: So far so good.

It isn't bad.

It's nothing till she delivers the ca--

Gadi says she will deliver.

And if Gadi says so, I believe him.

Okay.

But, of course, you're right.

The drop-off is the thing.

Kurtz: You have enough people for Gutigplatz.

This is your moment, Shimon.

You tell me what you need, you shall have it.

[Truck brakes hiss]

Shit.

[Lighter clicks]

I thought you gave up.

[Scoffs]

I'm a -- I'm a terrible quitter.

Awful. [Chuckles nervously]

You are nervous.

[Car door closes]

N--

**

Oh. Uh...

**

[Trunk clanks]

[Gasps]

**

This is very serious, madam.

This amount, it -- it will kill all of us, not just you.

Smuggling moonshine is doubly illegal.

[Crate clatters]

We keep this here.

Just this once.

Sorry.

[Keys rattle]

[Teleprinter clacking]

She's made the cross.

[Charlie exhales]

Litvak: It can't be much longer now.

[Charlie breathing heavily]

Yes, she's here.

[Woman speaking German]

Um, sorry, I -- uh...

I d-- I don't have any Austrian money.

I-I only have pounds.

[Woman speaking German]

[Speaking German]

Ah.

[Coins rattle]

-Danke. -Okay.

Thank you, Father.

[Gulps] Ahh.

[Glass thuds]

Ah. That could've really have blown up.

Litvak: [Over radio] She's on the move.

Train station, please.

[Over radio] She's asked for the train station.

**

[Car door closes, engine starts]

**

Litvak: Where the hell are you going?

[Over radio] You'll be fine.

Focus on the car only.

I'm staying with Charlie.

[Over radio] No, that wasn't the plan.

[Over radio] She'll need me.

-But Marty said... -Shimon.

Marty said I was in charge of this operation.

-Shimon. -What?

[Feedback]

He's turned his radio off.

Great.

Now we wait.

[Footsteps echoing on cobblestones]

[Chewing]

[Motorcycle engine revs]

Shimon. Check this out.

[Tires screech]

Look.

**

Rachel: [Over radio] Contact.

Rose: [Over radio] Too fast, surely?

Flash bastard could get picked up by the police.

Litvak: [Over radio] Sit tight, please.

[Tires screech]

**

[Over radio] That's Anna Witgen.

The rider will be keeping watch.

Hold position until she gets the key out of the exhaust.

**

[Keys rattle]

They have another key.

Two telegrams, two keys, of course.

Keep your eyes on the car.

**

[Car door shuts]

Shit.

That's Rossino.

Daniel: Who?

A petty little left-wing journalist.

We've been sniffing him out since Milan,

but we can never prove a connection

to Khalil's network.

That just changed.

Welcome to the fight, Mr. Rossino.

[Engine starts, keys rattle]

[Engine revs]

**

**

[Motorcycle engine revs]

**

[Over radio] Should we split up?

They've gone in opposite directions.

Focus on the car only.

Shall I follow him at least?

We can't just let him go.

No, we need everyone on that car.

[Gear cranks]

Litvak: [Over radio] Easy, easy. Don't scare her off.

[Brakes creak]

[Anna sobs]

Okay, get the syringe!

I did all right, didn't I?

Marty says you're a star.

[Chuckles] [Bottle clinks]

He wants to thank you in person tomorrow.

And what about you?

Do you want to thank me in person?

[Ticking continues]

You did a good thing today.

I enjoyed it.

I loved it.

Is that what happens? It gets addictive?

If you're the type.

Are you?

Why did you tell me about the explosives...

when I got in the car?

One question at a time.

Hmm.

Because...

you are the type.

You said you would try to lie to me

as little as possible.

You wanted me to say no, didn't you?

Is it wrong, Gadi?

What we're doing?

Or were you trying to help me for another reason?

You should run a bath.

You need to relax.

All right.

But don't fall asleep whilst I'm in it,

because I'm going to drink myself stupid.

[Receiver clatters, rotary phone dials]

[Indistinct conversations in distance]

[Water trickling]

Charlie: I heard room service.

Make me a drink?

After tonight, you don't know when you'll see me again.

[Bottles clink]

You're going home.

Leaves the audience wanting more.

Uncertainty is the way we live.

[Ice clinks] Every night together can be our last.

Then we better make the most of it.

Your drink's ready.

[Spoon stirs]

Charlie?

Hm.

Now, from now on, we won't be writing the play.

Now the play has to come to you in England.

Oh, I'm booked in a job. "As -- As You Like It."

Then before you go,

there is someone we think you should meet.

In a way, you are already well acquainted.

[Charlie breathes heavily]

[Tape player clicks]

Michel: When I was 11,

I crouched in a homemade shelter

while the Jordanians poured rockets into our camp.

[Tape player clicks]

Michel.

What did you do to him?

He was sedated. That's all.

We haven't touched a hair on his pretty head.

Come on, Charlie. This is important for your role.

What's in that thing?

Kurtz: Never mind.

[Screaming]

[Handcuffs rattling]

No!

[Screams]

[Straining]

**

Daniel: Birth mark, scar, scar, scars.

[Door opens]

**

**

So the fiction becomes truth.

**

**

Go on.

Kurtz: They'll question you, Charlie.

You need to know every inch.

**

That's enough.

**

I said that's enough.

Now put some clothes on him.

**

**

What did you expect?

I know that was difficult, Charlie.

It's cruel.

You should save your sympathy for the innocent.

-He's a child. -He killed a child.

**

Your British government promised Palestine

to the Arabs and to the Jews.

That's when all this started.

What's that got to do with me?

Being naive doesn't absolve you.

Yes, it does! Yes, it does!

You can't have it both ways.

Victim one day, tyrant the next.

An actress one day, a moralist the next?

**

How do you live with it, Gadi?

The guilt.

**

What -- Where are you taking me?

**

**

We remember.

Never call me "Gadi" again.

[Dogs barking in distance]

[Bells tolling in distance]

These are photocopies

of his letters to you.

You kept the originals in your flat.

Mine to him?

Yes.

Bit desperate.

Charlie the romancer.

Charlie the penitent.

Charlie the hard-nosed bitch.

Thank you, Jose.

If you could just lend me that gun of yours,

and I'll just pop outside and shoot myself.

You're in love.

You need to write these out in your own handwriting.

Let the thoughts become yours.

You really think they'll come for me?

Yes.

What about Michel?

If you hold him in there for too long,

they'll know something's up.

Won't they?

You need to let him go, or at least put him on trial.

He'll be accounted for.

Each letter a different pen.

[Pen scratching]

"I am waiting. Hungry."

**

"I am alone without you.

This grey city is a tomb.

I can't sleep, can't eat."

**

"Thoughts of your body burn inside me."

**

[Sighs] God.

**

**

"I want you to tear me apart

to piece me back together.

Make me a new face, a new body.

Make me another soul.

As you said,

our bodies and bloods will be mixed.

This thought is all that can sustain me

through these hollow nights of yearning,

the balm to the ache of your absence."

**

My love, I would have it that we would be --"

**

[Breathing heavily]

**

Charlie, Charlie. Charlie.

**

Charlie...

**

**

[Gasps]

**

Our bodies and bloods will be mixed.

[Table rattles]

The psychopath admits --

[Door opens]

Hi, Gadi.

[Door closes] The psychopath admits Bad Godesberg.

She half-admits Zurich.

Has she given any names?

Her own.

She refuses to give a first name.

Makes no sense.

Michel took her on a few trips in his car,

taught her how to shoot a gun in some woods,

and a few other details

that can help us with the fiction.

Miss Bach is working on it now.

No knowledge of Khalil?

She's insane, Marty.

Hurt her, she acts like she enjoys it.

Stop hurting her, she regains the strength

and gives us nothing.

So we hurt girls, too, these days, huh?

You're the expert.

Should I make her fall in love with me, Gadi?

So she doesn't notice the pain?

Shh. Does it play, Gadi?

Yeah, it plays.

Rossino delivers it to the square,

where she picks up the Mercedes from Charlie.

It's all true.

Then she drives it towards Munich,

meets Michel on the way.

Untrue, but we're the only people who know that.

So, right now they're screwing each other senseless

somewhere in the countryside, lost to the world.

Lost to the world.

Well, that will also be true.

Michel: "My hometown, Al-Khalil.

The Jews call it Hebron."

Hebron is one of the only places

from which the Jews were never exiled.

It is therefore possible that Jewish blood flows in my veins,

yet I am not ashamed.

"Did I tell you that my father admired the Jews?" [Receiver rattles]

"He believed we should make a common society..." [Receiver dings]

...wanted to summon the neighbouring Jews

to our village,

to speak with them.

[Pen clanks]

The Zionists will tell you that we had no culture.

They will say we lived in mud huts

and went about in stinking rags.

But we are a decent people.

[Indistinct conversations] "Can you believe me, Charlie?"

[Footsteps, doors opening, closing]

Charlie, I told you.

I know.

I know. You're closing early.

I mean...

Am I that pretty?

[Vehicles driving]

Do we have to go this far?

There's no other way.

I know.

I know, but --

There's no other way.

Marty said so.

[Cars echoing on bridge]

You can see another option, huh?

Are you sure you've considered every possible option?

Made every possible promise?

No innocents!

That is what I promised you, Gadi.

No innocent people.

I misheard.

Yes, you misheard.

Like always.

We have another player confirmed -- Rossino.

That is another step closer to Khalil.

Charlie is in place. What can you not see here?!

The surgeon.
