ARI (V.O.):
For most of the past year...
I have been German businessman
Hans Hoffman.
My real name is Ari Ben-Sion.
Lying to everyone is
difficult...
but my life depends on keeping
the two worlds separate.
(PHONE RINGING)
(RINGING CONTINUES)
ARI (V.O.): If I could, I would
be Hans Hoffman all the time.
Hans Hoffman.
MAN (OVER PHONE): We found him.
He's at the Avalon Hotel.
We're a go.
Okay.
ARI (V.O.): One of our agents
has been passing...
top secret information
to the Syrians.
My partner and I have been
assigned to bring him back...
to Israel for interrogation.
(PHONE RINGS)
MAN (OVER PHONE):
You are compromised?
Yes.
MAN (OVER PHONE): Don't worry,
I will get you to Syria.
If my people find me, I am dead.
MAN (OVER PHONE):
Trust me, my friend.
Did you find who I am
looking for?
All I know is his code name.
We call him The Angel.
MAN (OVER PHONE):
I need to know...
Hello? Hello?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
ARI (V.O.): When missions go
bad, there's only one rule.
Protect your partner.
What a fucking mess!
I'll explain everything
to Miki.
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
REPORTER (OVER TV): Negotiations
between Israel and Syria...
collapsed today over the
exchange of prisoners.
Unconfirmed sources blame
leaks on both sides.
The East German Government
confirmed this afternoon...
that all travel restrictions
have been lifted.
Large crowds have gathered
along the wall...
separating East and West Berlin
to celebrate.
The Israeli Colonel Benjamin
Ehud was found dead...
of a heart attack in his
Berlin hotel room yesterday.
His body was flown to Israel
for a full military funeral.
Ari Ben-Sion, here to see Miki.
- Are you armed?
- Yeah.
I'm sorry, Miki. It all went
wrong in Berlin.
We could not bring Ehud back
alive.
Yeah, I read your report.
I still feel nauseous about all
the lies I told at his funeral.
Of course... the truth...
would have hurt more.
Then why did he do it?
Money?
I doubt we shall ever know.
So, Miki... why am I here?
Our people in Berlin will help
with any clean up...
you cannot do from here.
I want you in for a full
assessment.
I am good, Miki.
I have no doubt.
DR. ROTEM: Sleeping well?
Like a baby.
How many alcoholic drinks
would you say...
you consume on an average day?
ARI (V.O.): I moved to Israel
from Germany...
when I was a child...
I did not adjust well.
I was sent to more
psychiatrists...
than I could count.
I learned how to tell them
what they wanted to hear.
So, you and your wife
have separated?
ARI (V.O.): We just couldn't
recover after our son died.
DR. ROTEM:
Ari?
Ari... it's very easy to get
lost in your cover...
and neglect the problems
in your real life.
It's been less than a year
since the accident.
Do you think your son's death
affected your last mission?
What do you want me to say?
He would have killed my partner,
let's stop wasting time.
You are here to tell Miki
if I am okay to be reassigned.
And are you?
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
(SPEAKING ARABIC)
Have some tea.
Earlier today, we captured
an Israeli spy.
FUAD: If we act quickly...
we may be able to trade him
for your sons.
Hm.
I promise you, I will get
our children home.
General.
Sarraj...
Good afternoon, General.
SARRAJ (OVER PHONE):
I just heard the good news.
Congratulations on arresting
the Israeli spy.
Excellent work.
I was told it was urgent.
SARRAJ (OVER PHONE):
It is.
Have you begun discussions
with the Israelis...
regarding a prisoner exchange?
That would be premature.
SARRAJ (OVER PHONE):
I doubt our President...
would see it that way.
I appreciate the insight.
SARRAJ (OVER PHONE): Timing is
everything in these matters.
I could not agree more.
Take very good care of our
Israeli guest.
And keep me fully informed.
I will do that.
MAN #1:
What are you doing? Hello?
- (CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)
- (MEN SHOUTING)
Shabbos! No pictures here.
No pictures! Shabbos!
KIM: I'm sorry!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry... agh!
- Hey!
- I told her to stop!
Stop! Stop! She does not
understand!
I told her no photos!
Gentlemen, listen to me.
It is alright. Good shabbos.
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
I am fine.
You are bleeding, let me
help you.
These are good.
I got it, thanks.
Come with me.
Let's see what we can do.
How is your equipment?
It is fine, I think.
You are a journalist?
USA Today.
And I guess you are not Jewish.
Well, my mother was.
It's Shabbat.
You're a girl, breaking all
their rules.
Even being around you is making
them less holy.
You must have kids.
All done.
You will be safe getting
to your destination?
Yeah, I'll be fine.
Well, it has been an experience
to meet you.
Wait! Wait.
You caught me at a bad moment.
That was nice.
Don't mention it.
You are interested.
I really should go.
- Where are you from?
- Germany.
It is amazing what is happening
there right now.
Yes, yes...
- I am Kim Johnson.
- Hans Hoffman.
You're lying.
You are interested.
I am only here for a couple
more days and then...
I am off to Syria on assignment,
but... call me.
Up!
(DOOR OPENS)
(STEPS APPROACHING)
(DOOR CLOSES)
(LOCK CLICKS)
Who is The Angel?
Who is stealing my country's
secrets?
Thirsty?
You can trust me, my friend.
I told you, I do not know.
It doesn't matter how high up
your friend is.
It is just you and me.
All I need is just a name
and you are free to go.
I really don't know.
(PHONE RINGS)
(RINGING CONTINUES)
(RINGING STOPS)
(DIALING)
Tell General Fuad unfortunately
our Israeli guest...
was unable to recover
from his wounds.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
SHAUL: One of our agents
has been killed in Damascus...
we have to assume everyone
has been compromised...
we're pulling everyone out.
- Because of the traitor?
- SHAUL: Yes.
- Morning, Ari.
- Morning.
Doctor Hazem Hamra.
A Jewish scientist
who was our eyes and ears...
inside Syrian's chemical
weapons program.
We don't know if he was
burned by Ehud...
but we're not gonna wait
to find out.
We want him and his family out
as soon as possible.
Now, they live in the Jewish
Quarter...
which the Mukhabarat
monitor around the clock...
and it is too risky to approach
him directly.
So we are going... through her.
Rachel Khatib.
SHAUL: Housekeeper to this man,
Franz Ludin.
ARI: Nazi.
He was a minor player
during the war...
but we've been watching him.
This is Herr Ludin today
with his good friend...
Main Al-Husseini, Syria's
Minister for Trade.
He wants to market Syrian
carpets in Europe.
So we will tip the minister...
that Hans Hoffman is keen to
meet Germans of the Old Order.
The minister will introduce you
to Ludin, gain his trust...
get to his house, get to Rachel.
And she should have no problem
in reaching Dr. Hamra.
That's a lot of links.
Shaul will organize your escape
route to the coast...
meet you in Damascus on Sunday,
there will be plenty of time...
to get to the girl.
I will have a back-up plan,
if we need it.
Good.
MIKI: Prep starts immediately.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
Let's review.
We meet there, 6:00pm.
Right. What if Shaul
does not show?
Then Plan B.
Which is?
Cafe Teyrouzi, 24 hours later.
Good... and where is the
Jewish Quarter?
- Over there.
- Let's go!
ARI (V.O.): Remain dark.
No communication...
no calls, no messages.
MIKI (V.O.):
Last time. Password?
ARI (V.O.):
Caleb home.
MIKI (V.O.):
And The Angel's response?
ARI (V.O.):
Knock on the door.
MIKI (V.O.):
Good.
I am the only one who knows
The Angel's identity...
and I am certain he is clean.
Go to him, but only if your
life is in danger.
I'm not losing another agent.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)
Next.
Next.
Have you ever been
to occupied Palestine?
No.

(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)
AL-HUSSEINI:
He has been fully checked out...
by our people in Germany.
LUDIN:
You say his father was SS?
Yes, he served at Dachau.
Among other things, he funds
right-wing parties in Germany.
Trust me... he is a friend.
And he wants what?
To buy carpets and sell them
in Europe.
And what do you want from me?
Help him to feel at home.
The more comfortable he is,
the more he spends.
The more he spends, the more
thanks I owe you.
He is here, Herr Hoffman!
Yeah.
Welcome to Damascus.
I am Main Al-Husseini,
the Minister of Trade.
My pleasure to meet you.
I hope you don't mind,
I invited a friend...
Herr Hans Hoffman...
meet Herr Franz Ludin.
- Guten Abend.
- Guten Abend, Herr Ludin.
Hans, bitte.
Please.
Ambassador Al-Diri tells me
many great things about you.
Don't believe a word!
You are interested in carpets?
Syria has the finest in the
world.
That is why I am here.
A drink?
I will have whatever
you are having.
So, another arak, please.
First time in Damascus?
Yeah, I'm looking forward
to exploring the city.
It's not Germany, but it has
some redeeming qualities.
Herr Ludin has lived here many,
many years.
He knows the city well.
The oldest inhabited city
in the world.
The past looks a lot more
appealing...
when you get to my age.
You should show him around,
Franz.
I'd be happy to.
I wouldn't want to impose.
Friday is a Muslim holiday,
hopeless for business.
- If you are free?
- Good.
To exploring the city!
- And to new friends.
- Prost!
Prost!
It was a pleasure doing
business with you.
Thank you, it was a pleasure
for me.
- Thank you.
- See you again soon.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP)
(CAR ENGINE STARTS)
(CAR ENGINE STARTS)
See you tomorrow, sir.
Thank you.
Hey!
Are you following me?
What are you doing here?
I am here on an assignment
like I said...
or have you forgotten me
completely?
I am sorry, I didn't call.
This is crazy! What are you
doing here?
Unexpected business opportunity.
Is this your hotel?
- You, too?
- ARI: Yeah.
- Come on, Kim.
- Ah, got to go.
- Good seeing you.
- And you.
(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)
(CAR ENGINE STARTS)
LUDIN:
Muslims, Christians, Jews...
it's not going to end well.
So much older than Europe.
Do you miss Germany?
Of course.
But the Germany I knew doesn't
exist any more.
They were the greatest country
in the world.
United, we would be again.
You remind me... I used to talk
like that.
- This place is such a maze.
- Yes.
And sometimes you end up...
where you do not want to be.
The Jewish Quarter.
Yes, they can come and go,
but never a whole family.
Why?
President Assad wants to keep
them.
They are a bargaining chip.
(CHILDREN LAUGHING)
Bam! Bam!
Agh!
- Thank you.
- Are you hurt?
- No, no...
- Allow me to defend you.
- Bam!
- Agh!
Kids!

(PHONE RINGS)
Hello?
ARI (OVER PHONE):
It's Hans.
I'm sorry to call you so late.
You left your wallet in my car.
Oh, thank goodness. I have been
searching everywhere for it.
I can drop it by in the morning.
LUDIN (OVER PHONE):
No need.
Some friends are coming over
for drinks tomorrow night.
A few local Germans.
If you are not busy...
What time?
LUDIN (OVER PHONE):
8:00 o'clock.
Sounds good.
LUDIN (OVER PHONE):
You can bring the wallet then.
Good night.
ARI (OVER PHONE):
Good night.
Where are you from?
You really do not let up,
do you?
MAN: Have a drink with me.
Really, no, thank you.
- BARTENDER: Good evening, sir.
- Good evening.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Save me! I told him I am waiting
for my husband.
What's it worth?
I'll let you buy me dinner.
Deal!
We have been on the road
for two months...
Egypt, Jordan, Israel
and now here.
We're just trying to give our
readers a little insight.
To be honest, I am just starting
to understand...
how complicated it is here.
And what about you?
What brings you to Syria?
Cheap carpets.
And here I thought you were
just following me!
Would that have been a better
answer?
And... apart from work?
What would you like to know?
The thing that you least want
to tell me...
your deepest, darkest secret.
And if I have nothing to hide?
Well, that would be very
disappointing!
All I can tell you is,
it involves...
a lot of vodka and a strip club!
Oh, booze is in my blood!
- Thank you. Cheers!
- Cheers!
Hans, where are you from?
Berlin.
We were just talking
about Berlin.
I have got a couple of friends
posted there.
I don't think they have been
sober since the wall fell.
Lucky for them!
I can imagine it is crazy
there right now.
Makes you wish we were there.
Help me!
Free Syria!
Help!
DMITRY: Oh, that's tough, man.
Are you okay?
What the hell was that?
KAREN: They don't even hide
what they do.
Because they want you to know.
Know what?
That they're watching and
listening...
everybody, all the time.
Sounds like East Germany.
Well, not any more.
Well, things could change here,
too.
That's what they said about
Berlin...
and now the wall is down, so...
If that wall fell, anything
is possible.
I'll drink to that.
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)
I... got to get up really early,
I have an assignment.
You know where to find me.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
It is made with my finest silk.
I'll take 50.
My pleasure.
For you...
the traditional Syrian dress.
Hope you like.
It's beautiful.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
ARI: Good evening.
Good evening.
Guten Abend. Welcome.
Thank you.
Ah... your wallet.
Oh, thanks.
Gentlemen, meet Herr Hans
Hoffman.
May I present...
Herr Heinrich Wolff.
I prefer Steffen Schmidt.
Ignore him.
A Mossad letter bomb blew off
two of his fingers...
and it makes him feel more
important than he is.
And this gentleman is Colonel
Ludwig Streicher...
advisor to the Syrian Army.
That was a number of years ago,
Franz.
Can I get you something to
drink, Berlinerwasser perhaps?
Whisky, if you have it.
LUDIN: Can you get Herr Hoffman
a whisky?
Hans, is it true your father
served in the camps?
Yeah... Dachau.
What was his position?
He was quite undistinguished.
Easy, gentlemen.
Let's not forget, Herr Hoffman
is our guest.
I'm sure he understands
our need to be careful.
Heinrich, we have nothing
to be scared of.
Thank you.
The Israelis are not interested
in us any more.
They have new enemies.
Enemies, that's all they've got.
Where are you staying
in Damascus?
Sheraton.
Good choice.
So... Hans... with our host's
permission.
What can you tell us
about your father?
Unfortunately, very little.
He died when I was four.
The world likes to forget the
nine million Germans...
murdered during the war.
No, it was after the war...
car crash.
- Oh, I am sorry.
- (DOOR BELL RINGS)
Are you expecting someone?
No.
Excuse me.
I wonder who that is?
LUDIN: Come in, come in.
I believe you know everyone...
except our new friend,
Herr Hans Hoffman.
Suleiman Sarraj is head of the
Mukhabarat...
the Syrian intelligence agency.
- Pleasure to meet you.
- The pleasure is all mine.
- Please, have a seat.
- Thank you.
Herr Hoffman is visiting
from Berlin...
we met through the Trade
Minister.
- Yes, I know.
- LUDIN: Of course, you do.
Don't be concerned, Hans.
Lucky for us, Sarraj is a good
friend.
You are here purchasing
carpets?
- Correct.
- Is it going well?
- It is.
- Good.
LUDIN: Would you like
something to drink?
No, thank you. I can stay
only for a moment.
I was nearby and I realized
it's been too long...
since I checked in with you
and your friends.
I read in the papers that you
arrested an Israeli spy.
Congratulations.
I was merely doing my job.
LUDIN: What will happen to him?
Well, unfortunately, the Israeli
did not survive his capture.
LUDIN: Did you find out
why he was here?
Thank you for your kind
hospitality. Excuse me.
You are welcome here any time.
It was very nice to meet you,
Hans.
And you.
I hope you find everything
you are looking for.
Thank you.
If you need anything, please...
Perhaps we meet again.
I hope so.
Gentlemen... good evening.
Excuse me... too much to drink.
First door before the kitchen.
Thank you.
Suleiman Sarraj has become...
one of the most powerful men
in Syria.
It was nice of him to stop by.
With all due respect, Franz,
we all know the man.
Sarraj did not come here
to be nice.
Rachel Khatib?
- (GASPS)
- Shhh! Shhh!
Remind me, how did you
meet him?
Calm down, gentlemen.
The Trade Minister assured me
he was fully checked out.
You have a brother... his name
is Yair.
He lives with his wife and
children...
in Haroe Street in Haifa.
Mm-hm?
I've come to get you out
of here.
All the Minister cares about...
is how much money Hoffman
will put in his pocket.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)
Now, listen, I...
(MUFFLED YELLING)
What's going on here?
(GLASS SHATTERS)
I think it's time you left.
I'm sorry.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Is it true?
Stop it!
You brought a gun?!
Sit down and be quiet.
How did you find me?
I overheard you at dinner.
Is it true?
- You could have been followed.
- I was careful.
You were stupid... and the gun?
Herr Ludin's.
Are you really here to take me
to Israel?
Yes.
- I am sorry.
- I am fine.
I need you to make contact
with Dr. Hamra.
- Tell him to gather his family.
- (KNOCK ON DOOR)
It's...
The police?
Get on the bed.
Hm, nice room.
I'm sorry, I thought you
were alone.
Kim...
- Who is that?
- No one.
You want something?
I want my gun back.
Leave the Jewish Quarter,
one at a time.
Tell everyone to meet at the
Mariamite Cathedral...
Monday night, 10:00 o'clock.
Ask for Father Vergisa.
If you see me before then...
that will be my signal that
the escape is off.
Put his gun back before
anyone notices.
(PHONE RINGS)
Hello?
MAN (OVER PHONE):
Is this Sabeen?
Yeah.
MAN (OVER PHONE):
I have some information...
I think you'd be very
interested in.
Hang on.
Who is this?
MAN (OVER PHONE):
It is about Hans Hoffman.
- What do you want?
- MAN (OVER PHONE): $10,000.
Bring the money tomorrow
evening, Sunday at 8:00.
Meet me in front of Salim's
Food Market.
But... hello?
(PHONE RINGING)
Yes?
SABEEN (OVER PHONE): It's
Sabeen, sorry to bother you.
What is the problem?
I just got a call from a man
selling information...
on an Israeli we are tracking.
Who?
SABEEN (OVER PHONE):
Hans Hoffman.
How much does he want?
SABEEN (OVER PHONE):
$10,000.
Go see what he has got.
SARRAJ (OVER PHONE):
And ask him about The Angel.
I will.
- SARRAJ (OVER PHONE): Be careful.
- Okay.
General Fuad...
$10,000?
And he agreed?
Unbelievable!
Okay. Goodbye.
(VENDORS SHOUTING)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
MIKI (V.O.): So, we've organized
your escape route to the coast.
We'll meet you in Damascus
on Sunday and...
ARI (V.O.): We have a back-up
plan, if we need it.
Israeli agents are in Syria.
I am shocked. What's that
got to do with Hoffman?
Hans Hoffman is a Mossad spy...
his real name is Ari Ben-Sion.
SABEEN:
Sorry, we know that already.
SHAUL: But do you know why
he is in Damascus?
SABEEN: Tell me.
SHAUL: He is leading an
exfiltration mission.
Who is escaping?
Their most senior, deep-cover
asset.
They call him The Angel.
Whiskey.
I know what it must have looked
like, but it wasn't.
It's okay, sometimes I create
expectations...
fantasies of how I want
things to be...
and then I get disappointed.
I should have called first.
It stopped working.
It's beautiful.
It was my father's.
I wish I had known him better.
This is all that I have
left of him.
What do you want?
I don't know.
Me, neither.
Can I get you something?
Coffee, maybe.
Coffee?!
How do you take it?
Kim? Kim?
(CHILDREN LAUGHING)
YOUNG ARI: Daddy! Daddy where
are you? Daddy!
SABEEN:
I will remember...
SABEEN:
Did she pick the right one?
Good... promise me to be careful
on that thing...
and always wear a helmet, Sammy.
Sam, did you hear me?
Good, that's our deal, right?
Okay, I'm glad that you had a
good party, baby.
I wish I could have been there.
I know you are not a baby.
I love you.
Good morning.
You heard?
Yeah.
It's his birthday.
He lives with his Dad.
How old is he?
Eight... today.
It goes so fast.
Yeah.
He's becoming a stranger.
You could change that.
Someone once told me, that if
the Berlin wall can fall...
anything is possible.
- (CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)
- (GASPS)
I am sorry.
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
I also missed my son's
8th birthday.
He really loved football.
His team was Bayern Munich.
But I was working, I was
always working.
He went into my office.
He wanted to inflate a football,
or something.
I had a gun. It was usually
locked away, but...
I must have left it.
Now I don't sleep so well.
Any chance she suspected
your cover?
No. You were right, they already
knew about Ari.
Check out Kim Johnson?
I haven't been able to find
a thing.
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
What's worrying you?
We could've told him
he is working naked...
and he's on his own.
No.
This is the best way
to protect The Angel.
Ari will know more...
when he needs to.
I hope you're right.
Me, too.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP)
(PHONE RINGS)
General Fuad.
Where has he been and where
is he now?
Mm-hm... mm-hm... good.
Hans...
I have an appointment.
I'll see you tonight.
I'll meet you in the bar?
I may be a little late.
You can wait here, if you like.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
Thank you.
(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)
Look...
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
Why are you running?
What's in your pocket?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)
ARI (V.O.): If you see me again,
the escape is off.
It is not open for discussion.
It's very easy to get lost
in your cover.
- You are interested.
- Protect your partner.
We've got a back-up plan,
if we need it.
Cafe Teyrouzi, 24 hours later.
KIM (V.O.): Save me.
MIKI (V.O.): I am the only one
who knows The Angel's identity.
Go to him only if your life
is in danger.
Shaul...
(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)
Taxi!
Sheraton Hotel.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)
There is someone else
following him.
Kim?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
Get in the car.
(GASPS)
- Follow the white car.
- DRIVER: Yes, sir.
Stop here! Stop here!
(DOOR OPENS)
(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)
(CHUCKLES)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
Wait here.
Good evening.
Good evening.
Is Herr Ludin at home?
He is not here.
Could you tell him, Hans Hoffman
came by to apologize?
And... the maid...
I'd like to apologize
to her, also.
Is she here?
Not here after dinner with you.
- Is...
- (DOOR CLOSES)
Shit!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
(SPEAKING ARABIC)
What is it you want, Sarraj?
I know the President has
assigned you to find a mole...
the Israelis refer to as
The Angel.
You have spies in my service?
As you have in mine.
We are wasting time bumping
into each other.
So now you want to work
together?
To capture The Angel? Yes.
Ari Ben-Sion can lead us to him
and we can arrest both of them.
Can you stop your men
from beating him again...
until he meets The Angel?
Yes.
And you have a plan?
Yes, I do.
What if your plan fails?
I will take full responsibility
for it.
Put me through to President
Assad... tell him it's urgent.
KIM: Hans? I'm back.
Hans? Hans?
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
He's not here.
Yeah.
(SIGHS)
Ticket, please.
(FILM CONTINUES PLAYING)
(BUZZING)
SABRI (OVER SPEAKER):
Hello?
Caleb home.
SABRI: Knock on the door
at the end of the path.
Beautiful evening.
Follow me.
Nice car.
You must be thirsty.
And you must be The Angel.
Here my name is Sabri Al-Alazar.
My exfiltration partner
has vanished.
I'm being watched closely
and they sent me a girl.
Why am I not in a cell?
Or dead?
Because your real mission...
is to lead the head of the
Mukhabarat to me...
he is our target.
We are here to kill Sarraj?
In a way, he's promised
President Assad...
that you are going to lead him
to The Angel.
Our escape will end his career.
So I am bait?
Why wasn't I told?
What about Rachel Khatib
and Dr. Hamra?
They are no longer your concern.
I will decide what is my
concern.
SABRI: I don't know anything
about them.
I am done with this bullshit.
You can take it up with Miki
when we get home.
In the meantime, his bullshit
protects us.
I don't feel very protected!
Aren't you tired of all of this?
Actually, I was enjoying
myself...
until that asshole Ehud
screwed us.
Now I just want to get out
of here alive.
Make Sarraj an ambitious moron,
instead of a martyr.
Fuck Miki!
When did you find out
about the girl?
How soon can we leave?
SARBI (V.O.): Operations needs
24 hours to prep...
return to your hotel,
hopefully they won't know...
that you have broken their
girl's cover...
so she should buy us some time,
if she suspects you, it's over.
They are bugging your room now.
Tomorrow evening, invite
the girl to your room.
Once it's dark, slip my name
into your conversation...
Sabri Al-Alazar.
Let her know that I am
The Angel...
and that you are planning
to meet me.
They won't touch you
until they have me.
ARI (V.O.):
Then they better not find you.
SARBI (V.O.): They won't.
I'll arrange for my Mercedes
to be parked unlocked...
at the end of the alley
behind your hotel.
The keys and the map will be
in the glove compartment.
You are going to need this.
If the girl with you, she'll
get you out of the hotel.
And when you are free of
shadows... terminate her.
Where were you?
- I was working.
- This late?
A client invited me to a
never-ending dinner.
I was worried about you.
Hey... thank you for fixing
my watch.
You didn't have to do that.
I wanted to.
What's the matter?
It's been a long day.
- I'm tired.
- What happened?
Nothing.
(DOOR CLOSES)
RECEPTIONIST (OVER PHONE):
Front desk.
Good morning.
Could you tell my driver that
I won't need him today?
RECEPTIONIST (OVER PHONE):
Certainly, Mr Hoffman.
ARI: Thank you.
(HANGS UP)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP)
How long should we wait?
(CHUCKLES)
I knew you would come back.
Ari didn't stand a chance.
You have your mother's face
and your father's eyes.
El kamar helou wa inta ahhal.
Why have you forgotten
all your Arabic?
It means... the moon is
beautiful, but you are lovelier.
So far you have done a fantastic
job. I am proud of you.
Has he mentioned The Angel?
No.
He does trust you?
Mm.
I hope you haven't forgotten
what they did to your father?
The first time is always
the hardest.
Remember, you came to me.
Yes... but...
Did son get my birthday present?
I know how important
he is to you.
He did.
Thank you.
I'll do my job.
SARRAJ: Of course, you will,
just remember your training.
Salma, I'm counting on you.
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
KIM: Hans?
You scared me.
Where did you go?
Rob is doing a story on an
orphanage...
in the South, he asked me to...
I get it... you missed me.
Shhhh!
(FAUCET RUNNING)
(SHOWER RUNNING)
I know.
(WATER RUNNING)
(INDISTINCT DIALOGUE)
I wanted to tell you.
I wanted to...
You almost had me fooled.
And now you're going to help me
fool your friends.
I know they are listening.
So I am going to ask you to
leave with me tonight.
And you are going to refuse
until I explain why.
Do you understand?
If you make one false move,
I will kill you.
Yes, we have to leave tonight.
Hans, you are scaring me.
ARI (OVER SPEAKER):
You have to trust me.
KIM (OVER SPEAKER):
So trust me and tell me...
why we have to leave.
ARI (OVER SPEAKER): Because I'm
not who you think I am...
and both our lives are
in danger.
Hans, you are not being fair.
I can't tell you everything
right now. It is not the time.
How will we get out of the
country?
ARI (OVER SPEAKER): An angel
has arranged everything.
- Who?
- Why does it matter?
So I should trust you, but you
won't trust me?
ARI (OVER SPEAKER): Fine.
His name is Sabri Al-Alazar.
We have to leave now.
No!
Move in! Move in!
What are you doing?
We do not have The Angel.
Here!
Come out!
Drop the gun.
It's all right... let's go.
(ALARM SOUNDING)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
Go to the car.
Get in.
(ENGINE STARTING)
MAN (OVER PHONE): He's killed
all of our agents...
and taken the girl.
Congratulations, now we lost
both of them.
I told you to wait.
I told you that my girl is good.
(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)
Get out.
I'm sorry, but...
Get out.
I didn't know what I was
getting myself into.
Sarraj is not who I thought
he was.
Get out!
Was any of it real?
Tell me!
I wanted it to be.
Please just do it.
Come with me.
I can't... he'll hurt my son.
If we escape with the Angel,
Sarraj will be finished.
He will never be able
to hurt anyone.
Is that true?
I'm done with lies.
Salma... my real name is Salma.
Ari...
I know.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
Stay behind me.
It's all right.
You're going to get us killed.
She's with them.
ARI: We can trust her.
You are a fool to bring her!
She screwed us!
Salma...
This is not me!
This is not because of me!
I have no idea how
they found us.
Ari... no more lies.
No!
Our paratroopers won't wait.
Come on! We've got to move!
Ari...
SABRI: Ari!
Ari! Come on!
(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)
(GUN FIRES)
(GUNS FIRING)
Go!
I'll cover you! We can make it!
You can make it!
Go!
SOLDIER (OVER SPEAKER):
You can't escape.
Come out and you won't be hurt.
(ENGINE STARTING)
Shit!
(SOMBER MUSIC CONTINUES)
Agh!
(TRIGGER CLICKING)
(YELLING IN ARABIC)
(MUSIC CONTINUES)
Hands on the ground! Get down!
(YELLING IN ARABIC)
Wait outside.
Where is Sarraj?
Retired.
I am not like Sarraj.
Can't you see my wings?
You're The Angel.
FUAD:
Life is full of surprises, hm?
Sabri has been a friend of mine
for so many years...
the whole time, he was an
Israeli spy.
Still, you both have my
gratitude for protecting me.
In return, I let the Jewish girl
and Dr. Hamra...
escape with their families.
You work for us.
No, no, we are enemies.
I am just an old soldier...
who has seen too many children
die for nothing.
Over the years, Miki and I have
helped each other...
when it was for our...
mutual benefit.
Destroying Sarraj?
FUAD: Yes.
Men like him, no matter where
cannot be allowed to grow.
It would destroy my country.
(TICKING)
FUAD: She didn't betray you...
there was a track on her
she wasn't aware of.
FUAD: Take it.
Thank you.
You weren't supposed to be
caught.
It's me. He's alive and sitting
in front of me.
Of course...
MIKI (OVER PHONE):
Do you recognize my voice?
Yes.
MIKI (OVER PHONE): What is the
password for The Angel's house?
Caleb... home.
MIKI (OVER PHONE):
Don't worry...
everything is going
to be all right.
Now pass the phone back to him.
I want my boys back,
all of them.
Of course. Usual rules?
Agreed.
I can't believe we're
still doing this.
Yes.
Goodbye, my friend.
