Hello?

My father died...

again.

- Embassy.
- Access code 2-2...

It was 2-2-4-5-4.
Does it still work?

Yes.

I need a trace on a call

that I just got on my cell
a minute ago.

Okay.

Hello?

She just called you.

I don't know what's going on.

We need you here
in Tel Aviv immediately.

Are you fucking kidding?
Just tell me what's going on.

Not over the phone.
You have to fly in.

No, no, that...
that's not gonna happen.

I'll meet you here.

Thomas, it's Joe.

Jesus!
They brought you in?

They did.

How are you, Joe? How's Netta?

She's fine.
Still in remission.

Listen, Thomas,
the situation is getting...

I'm not flying anywhere, Joe.

You don't have to fly anywhere.

There's a safe house in Cologne.

They'll give you the details.

I'm heading there now.

Thanks for coming
on such a short notice.

- I'm Daniel.
- Thomas.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I remember.

Why did she call you?

I don't know.

Why did she call you?

- She knows you're out?
- I don't know.

Are you gonna tell me
what's going on?

She said, "My father died.
Again." And hung up.

What does it mean?

"Her father dying"
was her pullout code from Iran.

Did her father really die?

Her father died four days ago,
near London.

She slipped out of Israel,
attended his funeral,

and disappeared
right after that.

Disappeared?

She could be anywhere now.

I'm only talking to Joe.

I'm only talking to Joe.

- He's on his way.
- He's retired.

Yeah, so am I. For fuck's sake,

you had him call me,
I'm only talking to him.

Whatever, Thomas.

Are you pulling me out?

No.

Are you pulling me out?

No.

You always wanted
to get your hands on him.

But you got your hands on him.

- See how that worked out.
- Fuck you.

Isn't it nice to be needed?

I've been waiting for this call
ever since you graduated.

- Hey, watch out.
- You can have this room.

Anything you need,
we will be right here.

Mm-hm.

Listen, until the call
this morning,

I hadn't heard from her
in over a year.

Thomas, nobody is blaming you
for anything.

This is about assessing
her motives.

You were the person
closest to her.

You're crucial.

Look, let's just go over this,
step by step.

Let them do the grunt work.

We need to get into her head.

We have an advantage over them.

You know her and I know you.

Do you consider yourself Jewish?

My father was half Jewish.

I read in your file
that you were adopted.

Is that relevant?

Do you know who
your biological parents were?

Mm-mm.

Were you brought up Christian
by your mother?

To some extent.

We should develop that.

When they assigned her to me,

she was working out of Leipzig, doing basic stuff.

It was my idea
to send her to Tehran,

get her into
the nuclear division.

It wasn't easy
to convince HQ.

She did have
a very unusual biography

for a Mossad operative.

Born in London.

Her father, a British citizen.

Her mother, German,
a Christian Baptist,

who died when Rachel was 12.

I don't remember much
of London.

What I think I remember

is probably
from pictures I saw later.

We moved to Boston
when I was six,

Canada when I was twelve.

That's when my mom
started chemo.

So where are you from?

Only place
I've ever felt at home,

at least for a moment,
is Israel.

Why?

I don't know.

You know, my mom
always used to talk about it.

She volunteered
in a kibbutz there in the '70s.

It was a big thing for Germans
to do at that time.

Have you ever lived there?

She was in a relationship

with an Israeli medical student she'd met in London.

That was her first time
in the country.

When they split up, she stayed.

She had no real plans. She was kind of a drifter.

When she extended her work visa,

someone
in the organization noticed.

I mean, she immediately
attracted attention,

passports,

language skills.

A lack of any center
or real roots anywhere.

The recruiter got a sense

that she was eager to belong.

Eager to do
something significant.

We gave her
a fully authenticated

Australian passport.

Built her a whole new identity
around that.

Early years near Sydney,
growing up in Canada.

She spent a year in Leipzig
establishing that identity.

Her cover,

an English and French teacher.

Hello.

Her first assignment

was to get a work permit
in Tehran,

sponsored by
a local language school there.

For a Mossad operative
to enter Iran so early

in their career is unusual,

but I had confidence in her.

This making you uncomfortable?

Mm-mm.

Primary screening
is about 30 seconds.

If you got a secondary,
that's hours.

A secondary can be triggered
by nervousness

or any kind of inconsistency.

So luggage, length of stay,
profession, ticket class,

they all have to match.

You shouldn't look like

you've just stepped out
of a mall.

How close are you
to your father?

Why? What do you mean?

You should always
establish cover

with close family members
before unusual absences.

Oh, we're not close.

Still.

What?

All right.

I'll do it, fine.

You live alone, don't you?

Do I?

Hmm, I don't know.

You always schedule meetings
on weekends.

Your predecessor never did.

Well, I think
if it is 24-7 for you,

then it should be for me, too.

So even if you were married,
you'd see me on a weekend?

I'm probably
not gonna sleep tonight.

You're gonna do great.

You're the best person
for this assignment.

Thank you for saying that.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Know anybody in Tehran?

No, uh...

I e-mailed with the person
who hired me.

You are staying where?

Hotel Esteghlal.

Hey!

I'm sorry?

New?

Oh, some. I lost my luggage
on my flight to Berlin.

Taxi!

Hello?

Hello, Miss Currin.

Our spa is open
and at your disposal.

We also want to let you know

that we have
all kinds of drinks.

Not just what's in the menu,

all kinds of drinks.

I couldn't sleep that night.

I imagined them entering,
dragging me out.

I imagined being hanged.

I remember thinking,
I'm all alone.

You know, it's just me

and the rest of the world.

Everybody must know who I am.

How could they not?

And then I realized,

as I was standing there,
peeping, that...

I had nothing to hide.

You know I was just that person
who came here to teach.

That's it.

Nothing else.

I just decided
I wasn't gonna be afraid.

That's a temporary work permit.

Okay, file all your receipts,
I'll handle the reports.

Take a couple of days off.

You did good.

Okay.

What's that perfume?

What do you mean?

It's not the one you left with.

Was it clear at this point

that she was going to go
long-term to Iran?

No.

She made some contacts there

and was liked
at the language school.

But I needed her to be part of
one of the big operations first.

I needed the higher-ups to pay attention to her.

Angela, this is Stefan.
Stefan, Angela.

Staying one night
in uüsseldorf,

for shopping
and waiting for a flight.

Your room number is 507.

Already checked in.

You really don't speak
any Hebrew?

What's it to you?

Stefan is really lousy
at cover work.

So don't let him open his mouth.

Security cameras
and the layout

is here, here, here, and there.

This is a time table
when we can access them.

- And the lobby,
- Here?

if you sit here,
you have the best view.

How long are we supposed to stay at the bar?

That's your call.

Just long enough
for people there

to get a sense of your presence.

Aren't we supposed to talk?

Even a little?

This is Anton oöska.

He's been helping Iran
since the '90s.

Uranium enrichment program.

That's the only photo
we have of him.

It was probably taken
15 years ago.

Positive ID is crucial.

If he's in the bar tonight,

you will be closest to him.

There'll be another team
cross-validating

with telephoto lenses.

How was your practice?

It was good.

Uh, when I went to this corner,
people usually stood here.

I could easily squeeze
in between them

to get to the panel.

And I wasn't even pregnant then.

So elevators A, B, C, D.

Text Stefan
before you get in

to let him know
which elevator you're in.

What if you need
to let Stefan know

for any reason to abort?

If I have to abort I say,
"Here you are."

I exit to the right
in front of him.

I take him away.

He's my husband,
he was waiting for me.

All goes well,
I exit to the left,

get out of his shot.

Now, we don't execute
at any cost.

Something
is not according to plan,

you have the right
to call it off.

Exit?

Emergency stairs.

We wait here and pickup is here.

Right.

Miss, we're going up.

- We're going up.
- Oh. Oh, up.

Uh, no matter,
I take a tour with you.

Uh, sorry.
Um, can you press L, please?

Thank you.

There you are.

No, please!

Hello.

I'm Rachel.

Rosita.

Hi.

Hey!

- Hi.
- Pleasure.

I wanted to meet you
for a while.

- I'm Ronnie.
- Pleasure.

We actually met before,
once in training.

This is Dan.

- Nice to meet you.
- Hi.

No chance you met him before.

Beautiful day.

I missed the Israeli weather.

It's really nice to meet you.

You haven't been to Israel
since you worked with him.

Oh, I work out of Germany.

You didn't even visit.

You should visit more

to connect to the place,
to the people.

You're one of us now.

There aren't that
many foreigners there,

so everybody's constantly trying
to help you.

Prove that Iranians

are not like what
Westerners imagine them to be.

They can be nice

to the point
of driving you crazy.

Did it make it more difficult
for you to live your cover?

Not really.

Um, just have to learn
how to handle it.

Focus on the job,
the students.

Be who you are.

Hmm.

You're very talented.

It's not easy to stand out
in our organization.

How do you feel about

a long-term assignment
in Tehran?

Yeah, he just wanted
to look you in eye

when he asked you.

Danke.

Didn't even know your name
till recently.

Would you stay on as my handler?

Of course.

So did you give them
an answer yet?

I was so excited
I couldn't speak.

I can't believe I'm here.

"Here"?

Doing this, you know.

It does feel different

knowing that you're there
for a long time.

Now, I walk around a lot.

I feel like that's important,

you know,
to get a sense of the city.

Where things are.
How to interact with people.

How not to attract attention.

Keep to myself.

I'm consciously making an effort

to learn everyday habits here.

It's getting easier.

The apartment
I rented in Pasdaran

is, is perfect.

It's practical. I like it.

It's comfortable.

Makes perfect sense for a single Western woman to live there.

There's lots of cafés
I like to sit in.

Shops I like to shop in.

You know, the more

I have people around me,

I feel like I belong.

Rachel.

Mahshid wanted
to ask you something.

She wanted to know

if you'd have come
dinner with us.

I'd love to. Thank you.

I do like it there.

I like Tehran.

I'm alone
most of the time, but...

You know I don't feel lonely.

I can't explain it.

Every time I come back to Germany to see you,

I feel more
and more out of place.

And I can't wait
to get back to Iran.

Pants.

- "Pants."
- Mm-hmm.

It did feel very boring at first

after all the work
we've done here.

But, um...

You know, my work is so detailed
and fragmented.

After a while,
I really realized

that it helps me focus
and occupies my mind.

Thank you.

I'm an English teacher.

Is it okay if I work here?

I like to get out of the house.

Sure, no problem.

Look at this.

It's weeks

of tracking the coming and going
of Reza Vahidi.

- The Minister of Defense.
- Yeah.

Did she know that? Did...

Did she know
who she was tracking?

She had no idea.

After six months carrying out

small, disconnected missions
like this,

I felt that her routines
were set.

That her cover was stable.
That she was stable.

She was ready
for the next thing.

That's when we decided to approach Razavi Electronics.

Farhad Razavi.

"The wallet...

- is gone."
- Is.

"Three coins...

- Are.
- ...are missing."

"Everyone...

- Are...
- Is.

- ...is here."
- But "everyone" are many people.

Hey, hey, hey.

It's actually
a really good question, Shirin.

Does anybody know
why it's "is" and not "are"?

- Ali?
- Mm?

You know?

Come with me.

My Uncle Farhad, he has a BMW.

- Wow, really?
- Mm-hm.

All right, well.

Let's see who gets
to spot him first.

Okay.

Rachel?

There he is.

Well.

- Goodbye!
- Bye, Ali!

I am sorry I am late.

My sister,
she called me just now.

No problem.

You've worked with Ali
after school?

Yeah, twice a week.

You give
the one-to-one lesson, too?

One-on-one lesson
