The pope has invited the prime minister of Israel

for an official meeting.

- And you think you can stop it? - We have to.

With a Strela missile?

- Be careful. - Don't worry, Al-Bashir.

I know you distrust the Egyptian regime.

Abu-Iyad, my brother. Welcome, welcome.

But at least you'll be safe here, right?

Like you wanted.

And that's why I will personally guarantee their safety in Cairo.

- You know Comrade Lena. - Yes, of course.

The safehouse in Berlin.

They're planning something big.

Ziad, my friend.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

It must be hard.

We're still working on the report on what happened there.

Meanwhile, we are updating our security protocols.

I'm meeting his family soon.

I asked not to interrupt me.

I think you'll want to see this.

I have to go.

It's the Angel.

Get me a plane ticket to London immediately.

Already did.

The Angel was the greatest intelligence victory

the Mossad ever had.

A high-ranking spy deep inside the Egyptian regime,

and the only source I ever handled by myself.

Is he inside?

He insisted on it.

Personal ego is a great motivator.

From a government official,

he suddenly became a spy, a real power player.

General Zamir.

A pleasure to see you again.

The pleasure is all mine.

How was your flight?

Good.

- A drink? - No, thank you.

It's too early for me.

You are not worried Egyptian security followed you here?

I am Egyptian security.

No one suspects me.

I'm in London on personal business.

All the important government people of Egypt

have personal business.

So...

How are things in the regime?

You have things you wanted to discuss with me personally?

Gaddafi is crazy.

Completely out of his mind.

He wants to take down Israeli aeroplanes out of the sky.

Gaddafi?

Libya has been supporting Black September

for a while, as you know.

And what's Egypt's angle?

Gaddafi is our friend, but also our adversary.

We have to contain him.

We are grateful that you're sharing

this information with us.

Please.

This is urgent.

The attack is supposed to happen in the next few days.

I don't know more than that.

That's why I came here quickly.

It's good you did.

The vodka... you know,

five bottles

have arrived.

"Five bottles of vodka have arrived".

From previous intercepted calls

we know that Vodka is usually code for a Soviet-made weapon.

That's all we know?

Since your London meeting

our analysts have been working around the clock.

It was recorded from our wire on Madame Juliette,

the whorehouse in Paris.

You understand what this means?

Those are the Strela missiles.

You think they know about the visit with the pope in Rome?

It's in two days.

It was a secret.

But the Italians know.

They're not known for their secrecy.

It's Zamir. Get me Golda. Yes, it's urgent.

Maybe it's just vodka this time.

Because they like vodka martinis?

Okay.

There's a commercial flight in an hour.

I can get to Rome a full day

before the prime minister arrives.

Do it.

The technical department is working on

where the phone call went out to.

Maybe they'll get us an address.

to start looking for any suspicious activity.

Also, get Yair's team to Rome.

We need more men over there.

Abu-Iyad.

Abu-Daoud, my friend.

The day has finally come, my brother.

Where are they now?

Abu-Hassan has moved the men to a safehouse.

They are assembling.

Abu-Iyad, they say it's your wife.

From Egypt.

We have time.

I'll take it in my office.

Yes?

Who is this?

Abu-Omar, your Egyptian friend.

Where is my wife?

Your wife is safe, at home.

I needed to talk to you, brother.

There was no other way.

What is this about?

We know you're planning something.

Working with the Libyans.

What are you talking about?

Don't mistake me for a fool.

We know that the Libyans are helping you.

Your silence means I'm right.

I want to know exactly what you're planning.

Stop this madness.

I told you we must coordinate our actions.

You don't know what I'm capable of.

Egypt will not decide anything for the Palestinian people.

We are not your dogs.

We are independent.

No one will control us!

Arrogant dog.

The technical department tracked the phone number

they called from.

It was a call to a phone number in Rome.

An apartment in Pigento.

Have you got the exact address?

Send a team there. Now.

I'll meet you in the operations room.

- Any problems? - No.

There's a bag under your feet.

- It's that bad? - Yup.

They already have an address in Via Moniano.

We'll have more than one team.

I want Ahmed to work with Ziad on one team

and...

Did you see someone coming up?

There are many entrances to this building.

Who's that?

Revolution until victory.

How long until they're in position?

They're still on their way.

Are we going into a gun fight?

I hope not.

First, I want to make sure it's them.

The prime minister of the Zionist entity, an old woman,

said there was no Palestinian people.

Today we will show her, and the world, who we are.

Revolution until victory.

Revolution until victory.

Do you want them to break in?

What if it's the wrong apartment

and we shoot some civilian by mistake?

We have the phone number, right?

- Yes. - Call them.

Wait a second.

Yoni.

- Maybe they're not there? - Shh.

Hello?

Hello, Signore Giorgio?

Signore Giorgio?

Hello.

He hung up.

It's them. Get the team up.

Go.

Keep us posted.

Stay by the car if you need to bolt.

- Who's on point? - I am.

Third floor.

Signore Giorgio?

Police!

Police!

They're gone.

They're not here.

It's empty. They're gone.

But someone answered the phone a few minutes ago.

It's them. They were here.

They have the bottles.

They have the bottles.

I'm not cancelling my trip.

Do you realise this is not a false alarm?

We found evidence of...

It's an historic event, Zvika.

I'm meeting with the pope,

as the representative of the Jewish people

after centuries of hate.

It's a recognition of the State of Israel,

our ancient homeland, from one billion Catholics.

That's exactly why they want to stop it.

Then we'll always stop. Don't you see?

We won't meet because they'll kill us,

we won't build because they'll attack,

we'll spend our time cowering.

We'll surrender to their games of terror.

We can't let them run the world.

We can't be held hostage by them.

Besides, they won't dare to do it.

If they take down the prime minister of Israel,

they entangle themselves in an all-out war.

Maybe that's what they want.

It's my call.

Am I going to be late for the flight to Rome?

We've held it. Technical difficulties.

You'll be picked up at the airport.

Italian money, Liras. Don't lose it.

I'll need a jacket.

Buy one over there.

- Where is Harari? - Already there.

- Michael! - Leonardo!

Hello, handsome.

- How are you? - All is well?

Yes, all is well.

- It's been a while. - Yes.

You look good!

I try.

Come, it's my new favourite place.

Oh, yeah? Good black pasta with pulpo?

- You remember. - I miss it too.

But I can see in your eyes you're here for business,

not just to see an old friend.

Always the detective, my friend.

Chianti, please.

Unfortunately, we have intel

about an upcoming terrorist attack.

Here?

When?

No time for dessert.

Mother of God.

There are many places around the airport

where they can set up.

Too many, I mean, here, here, here, even here.

Why don't you talk to the police?

You need manpower.

You're protecting your source that could be exposed.

Michael.

Maybe I can ask some questions.

I still have some friends in Carbinery.

But who are those guys? What do they look like?

Who do they work with?

You have to give me something to work with.

It's nice weather over here. All is going well.

Do you have the exact landing time of your friend?

Yes. But it's Rome airport, so you never know.

Have you spotted a tail?

Don't know.

But you can never be too careful.

I've split them into two teams. To make sure our plan works.

Very smart.

To the revolution.

Until victory.

He's fine.

Good day, Ma'am.

Is Abu-Iyad in?

No, he's not. He's in Beirut.

Of course.

Can I come in?

It wouldn't look good for a man to visit me

when he is not around.

I'm General Nagib from general security.

I only want to make sure you are okay.

I'm fine. Thank you.

But we're always concerned about important guests like you.

I need to check the apartment.

No, there's no need. Thank you.

I must insist.

It's a security issue.

My husband wouldn't like it.

It won't take long.

Come in. I'll make tea.

There's no need.

Yes, there is. You are my guests now.

Is this the spot?

One of more than a dozen.

You'll need to drive by all these points, again and again.

They have to set up close enough.

If you had to, where would you guys go

to shoot down an aeroplane?

Here.

Not good.

Maybe further away, here.

You need a freeway,

an autostrade close by, to make your escape.

Do they even plan to escape?

I don't know. They're crazy. Don't assume anything.

Okay, we'll all mark our maps.

Stay on the same radio network, speak only English.

We're tour guides, picking up customers.

Thank you for your good hospitality.

You are an educated woman of the modern world.

I wish you would convince your husband

to work with us against our common enemy.

Israel will not be defeated by just terrorism.

Egypt has an army, you know.

I know why you're here. But you don't scare me.

If you wanted to hurt me,

I would already be in a lousy prison.

You wouldn't dare.

I wouldn't?

You're afraid to appear as if

you only take care of Egyptian interests

and have forsaken the Palestinian cause.

You're a strong woman, Umm-Iyad.

Abu-Iyad chose well.

For your sake,

I hope you're right

and my superiors wouldn't dare.

Tell your husband not to cause us any trouble.

Who is he talking to?

Maybe Leonardo.

A detective we used to work with in the old days.

I was stationed here when I was about your age.

We were smuggling refugees, Holocaust survivors,

under the nose of the British mandate.

That's when I met Mike. He was the senior man.

He used to work with this Leonardo character.

The man probably bought a second house

with all the money Mike paid him off

to smuggle refugees to Israel.

So it's money.

I don't think so.

Leonardo actually had a good heart.

He really wanted to help the Holocaust survivors.

They're using a Libyan diplomatic vehicle

to move the missiles.

There're two vehicles listed with the embassy.

One of them is a limousine. Stay on radio.

Take the next right, turn to Via Centocelle.

What if they've already filled up?

Four other teams are roaming the streets,

one is by the Libyan embassy.

Rome is smaller than you think.

How are we doing?

No luck so far.

We need to talk to the Italian authorities.

They know who I am.

And tell them what? We don't know anything.

We're looking for them all over town.

We're doing everything we can.

And it will also endanger our source, the Angel.

I met with Rami not far from here,

just a few weeks ago.

Sons of bitches.

He was on to them.

He was very close.

Probably too close.

It's my fault.

It's not, Zvika. Enough.

- Did you get a chance to sleep? - Nah.

Give me one.

What?

Fuck it.

So how was it being stationed here?

Rome was devastated after the war.

I don't think I ate meat for a...

Whoa, that's a limo!

Turn around before we lose them!

We have a tourist on the move.

Black limo, diplomatic plates, could be a rich client.

You think they noticed us?

It was a wild turn, huh?

Normal Italian driving.

Just don't knock out any statues or art.

Mike loves Rome. He'll kill you.

Yes?

We found the limo.

Thank God.

This could be it.

Wait here.

- What are you doing? - Improvising.

Hey.

Who's on the limo?

Bobby.

Let's finish this.

Don't!

Don't kill him.

Did he talk?

Said he only picked up the missiles,

doesn't know where to go. Waiting for orders.

We found only two missiles.

I don't know if the rest are here.

He's playing the hero now.

Give me a few more hours

There's no time.

Is there another team?

More missiles?

Fuck you.

You'll never find them.

Thank you for the information.

Give him some water.

There's another team, but he doesn't know more.

It's almost morning.

If we get the Italians involved we'll have more manpower.

We can stop this.

We obviously can't tell them.

It will expose our source.

What about that guy? He's badly beaten.

How do we explain that?

They're cops. They'll understand.

Involving the Italian authorities

is the best course of action, right?

We don't have much choice.

Right.

We're doing them a favour, you know.

Maybe I should ask them for something in return.

- And I know what I want. - What?

The police are already on their way

and teams are being sent to the airport as well.

We'll do everything to stop the terrorists

before they hit the plane.

I'm sorry I'm not more officially dressed.

I'm actually on vacation here.

That's fine, General. It's an emergency.

I would like to thank you

on behalf of the Italian government

and the Italian people.

And what of my request?

The Soviet missiles will be handed over to you

as soon as the men have arrived at the apartment.

Excellent.

I don't really understand their plan, General.

What if they succeed with this act of terrorism?

What... What do they achieve?

I'm not sure they have a plan beyond that.

It's easier when you don't have a plan.

You can always say you succeeded.

Goddamnit.

We still have at least one more team.

It's the damn Italian police.

How did they know?

- Someone opened his mouth. - Abu-Daoud.

Maybe the Egyptians tipped them off?

We all have relatives there.

We know the Egyptians are in contact with the Libyans.

Or the Israelis themselves.

They're looking for us all over Europe.

What's that? What are you doing?

It's over, don't you get it?

We should have gone with the team

I'm preparing in Jordan. I'm preparing them!

Jordan should be our target now!

Calm down!

And stop drinking!

It's not over yet.

They got the entire first team.

The police have them. It's only us now.

It's in our hands.

What a cute teddy.

Where is the other Black September team?

We only have three more hours.

We are looking for them.

The police are interrogating the guy we caught

and they apprehended his accomplice.

Are they securing the entire airport area?

It's too wide a net. They have patrols.

It's not enough.

We're doing everything we can, Zvika.

Mike, a Strela missile

hitting a civilian aeroplane will blow it to pieces.

Make sure you have everything.

The police are patrolling the eastern side of the airport.

Make sure you cover the west and the north.

Drive slowly.

Take it easy. Let him honk.

Son of a bitch! Fuck you!

Ladies and gentlemen,

we are starting our descent towards Fiumicino airport.

Please return to your seats and fasten your seatbelts.

It's a sunny day in Rome.

The temperature outside is 17 degrees Celsius .

Let's go.

I think I see the clients.

Where?

The police are there?

Negative.

Shit.

I can spot one of them.

The others are probably with him.

Don't let them shoot.

You have operational discretion. Whatever it takes.

I'll direct the police there.

The plane's gonna land any minute now.

Drive already!

Motherfuckers!

Let's go! Step on it!

Cabin crew, please be seated for landing.

On the ground!

On the ground!

On the ground!

Keep your hands up!

Check the back.

- Don't move! - On the ground!

Stop right now!

Drop your weapon!

Drop it.

Don't move.

Get on your knees. Now!

Don't move.

Yes?

We got them.

Thank God.

I'm sending two units. Stay alert.

Screw this shit!

What is it?

Your wife again.

Yes, Abu-Omar?

Salah?

What happened?

They didn't let me through until now.

Is everything okay?

Egyptian security was here.

Abu-Omar.

Are you alright?

Tamam?

We're fine. Thank God.

Do you want me to come?

I told him to go to hell.

You know they are listening to all our conversations, right?

I know.

I love you, Tamam.

You should.

Get in. In the back.

What is this?

Sheep skins.

They hide the smell from the dogs.

- Dogs? - At the border.

They're looking for you. Get in.

Now!

Cover yourself.

You don't know how lucky you are.

I don't really feel lucky right now.

Lucky that I like you.

You realise the man we gave them, Ziad,

is responsible for Rami's death?

That's the price of doing business

with the Italian police.

But we stopped them.

They almost killed our prime minister,

and more than a hundred civilians.

Without our spy, who we just risked exposing,

we'd be in a very different situation.

We won't be so lucky a second time.

We kill their middle management and they keep on fighting.

We kill Mashar, they replace him.

We need to end this business.

Take down the big guys.

Abu-Iyad, Abu-Youssef, Najar and Salame.

We'll need to get into Lebanon for that.

So let's do it.

Who said we can't chase them into Lebanon?

Are they the only ones who can do whatever they want?

How are you going to handle it diplomatically?

I'll get the Americans to help us.

How?

Soviet technology for Salame.

Sounds good.
