Israelis.

They think they're so special.

They think they're the only ones that can tell a story.

Well.

Last time I checked,

Hollywood is in America.

I can tell a story.

My life depends on it.

Not getting what you want,

and getting it.

Yeah, that's what they say.

I don't know, people.

She's gonna eat you alive.

I want to tell you a story.

I'd love a story.

From your mustache days, right?

I'm in the driver's seat

and you know... Beirut's beautiful.

Having monkeys in the back didn't help either.

Were you packing too, Felix?

Only the strongest weapon around.

Come on, he was that big?

Bigger.

Well that's the story, okay?

What do you mean?

The bigger the medal, the bigger the fuck up it's trying to hide.

Come on man, you're just being modest. You got your first one in the army, right?

Forget that one.

Yeah, okay, yeah.

Don't worry, I'll be okay.

Okay, fine.

I'll just cut to the chase.

'Cause there was a chase.

You what?

So you shot him, I guess.

No, no, it was too close a range.

Army shit.

It was that simple?

I didn't notice the sniper.

I guess we better focus on the real reason we're here.

Speak English mate, we're all fluent. Part of the job.

I bet you missed these in prison.

You're not safe yet.

They're talking treason. It's up to you to--

No, no, no, guys, no.

It's Shin Bet protocol. I'm sorry.

Come on...

Sorry, it's protocol.

Now isn't the time to be a boy scout, okay?

Sorry. The rest are on their way.

Okay, guys, Avram is here in 90 minutes, we're starting.

This is an internal debrief, so-- tell us everything.

-Fuck you, next question. -Okay, so.

Walk us through it. A year back.

And be honest, it's just us here.

Okay.

- Hotel Europe. How may I help you?

I see. Let me check.

I can actually arrange a room for you.

Let me help you madam.

What the fuck?

I joined this place for stories like yours, but...

no bad guys checked in, and...

this is how it happened. I've been there for three months straight.

A water please.

You never tip Theo, fuck off.

I'll get it myself. No problem.

Mine...

Mine is a different kind of story.

Theo, you want one right?

And how is the Turkish air?

Splendid. How's the Paris sun?

Great.

Finding inspiration takes time.

Yeah, I've been there.

Well. Good to hear you're okay.

Happy birthday, my old Champignon.

-Theo. -Wait.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

- Wait... - Theo. We always said, "54th birthday".

Someone will check in soon, okay? I only need one good muse.

No, you won't find your inspiration in that hotel,

or anywhere for that matter.

The publishing house wants you to come back, Theo.

Well from where I'm standing,

looks like you could use all the help you could get.

You'll be okay. I love being retired.

You published.

I'd retire early too if I published.

Come home. Spend some time with...

I'm pretty sure my daughter hates me, just give me an extension.

A couple of months, right?

I'll find my inspiration.

It's not up to me. I'm like you mon ami- a mushroom, a champignon.

They feed me shit and keep me in the dark.

Pierre, please.

- But, since it is your birthday... -Thank you.

- I can... - By next month...

- No.

- Trust me. - Theo.

-I promise.

- One more day.

Fly out tomorrow. You're out of time, Champignon.

Mendacious.

Mendacious means: Dishonest... okay.

Plausible.

Plausible, plausible, plausible...

I'm not really in the mood.

I got this vocab shit.

Okay, plausible...

'Plausible' sounds like... Possible.

-'Plausible' means 'Possible'? -Possible!

Possible. Something... Something that can happen.

Plausible...

relates to its likelihood.

So me getting into a good art school is possible.

You getting over your writer's block

and becoming a world famous writer is possible,

but it's more plausible that we'll both just stay here and... Hey hey hey!

Don't, what are you doing? I could get in trouble.

If I get fired again I'm fucked.

My dear...

Presentation. It makes everything taste better.

-Next. -I'm leaving.

Why?

I'm not really a writer.

Okay.

What do you mean?

I'm...

I used to be a spy.

In the Mossad.

I know what those guys look like.

Oh, you Israelis know everything, right?

I think you need a better pick-up line than being a spy.

-Something that makes sense, you know? -What should I use then?

A substitute teacher?

Or maybe...

-Oh God. -A retired...

A retired...

substitute teacher.

You're not really leaving though, are you?

Yeah. Tomorrow.

I know we haven't gone over your essay yet, but...

Wait.

No, hey.

We talked about this... I could be your dad.

I wish we had more time.

But this is a good thing.

What?

-What? -Yeah, this place is bad for you.

Did you tell her?

Who? No...

She hates me.

Go tell her. Go call.

Wow, really? Wow.

I thought you would be at least a little upset that I was leaving.

Go do it, now. It's never too late, you know it.

So you got an Israeli bartender to fall for you.

-Why? -"Avoid Israelis abroad, they taint our cover".

She was an adult.

I decided to retire...

And, you know, because it's

my birthday.

You know I just wanted to retire, so...

We could celebrate, we could...

- 51? - What?

52?

No. No, I'm 54.

54.

We always...

went there for our birthdays, remember?

Hello?

Hello?

Yeah.

Do you hate me?

Hello?

Of course not.

Latest hostilities put Israel on the brink of war.

Israelis fear it's already here.

"Hammam towel fee"? No, this one's also wrong.

One dollar? What's that? I never even got to use the hammam...

Okay, Mr. Fischer, out of respect for your long stay with us...

Thank you for crossing that out,

because I keep track of all my receipts, and I'd know if there was a...

Can I have a pen? Can I have a pen please?

Excuse me? Can I help? Please.

Hi.

Welcome to the Hotel Europe sir. How can I help?

-Checking in? -Yes.

- Do you have a reservation? -Under her name, Bissan Nassri.

-Okay, Mr. Nassri. -No, no. She's Nassri, we are not...

Okay Mr. Amal, just for tonight?

This guy? Gilgamesh? The Beirut Butcher? Come on.

Okay Mr. Amal, just for tonight?

Yeah, one night is plenty.

It's early, so the room will be only available in an hour, apologies.

The spa is open, though.

Check in your luggage and go?

Okay, thank you.

- Wait, your receipt. - Not needed.

Impossible.

Wow, wow... Maybe implausible.

We haven't had eyes on Gilgamesh since...

'79.

His sons died in that bombing, that's the only thing we know for sure.

Two sons died, yet the Uncut Warrior lives on.

Ah, yeah, "The Uncut"...

Because he was never circumcised, right?

Never. Uncut.

Fucking rapist, too.

Are you making this shit up, Dov?

Yeah, Dov. Are you?

Red, you were literally the first to call me Boyscout,

you know I can't make up this crap.

Amerikaki Boyscout, but yeah.

How did you know it was him, Dov?

-The scars, the ring... -Yeah, yeah, I got that, but...

How did you know?

Instant familiarity, like, oh...

Hello, yeah, it's you.

You're gonna matter.

Jedi bullshit.

Hm?

I might have cracked the book.

Theo?

Maybe I'm crazy,

but I think the best name for it will be...

"The Epic of Gilgamesh".

Gilgamesh! Quite an inspiration.

Where are you calling me from? Tammy, Theo landed, right?

-No, why? -I know what this sounds like, but he's only here

for one night.

Shit, you're not kidding. Theo.

How is the Turkish air treating you?

Splendid, how's the Paris sun?

Ok, you have a choice. Carefully think which is better:

retiring with dignity--

Come on, Avram is here soon, we'll have to settle for the abridged version.

It's okay, just go.

Dov says: "This might actually be him."

Might actually be him.

Pierre says:

"Shit, I'll update our idiot of a CEO."

Should I cuss, or not?

Redact that.

Pierre: "Anyone mentions Gilgamesh, Avram needs to know."

Dov: "Then I take it back, I'm drunk I..."

-I didn't say that. -You did, it's in the protocol.

Tessa, there's a handwritten note here saying "Dov is panicking like a little bitch".

-What? -Read it.

No, I was as cool... I was...

-That is... -Just read it.

Cross that one out.

-Pierre... -Cross it out.

"Call in an hour, and do not act."

End recording.

Which part of "Do not act" didn't you understand?

Do you have a luggage room that I can use?

Okay.

New running shoes? You fat fuck.

You can run but you can't hide.

So who are you, Gilgamesh?

"Amal Salame". That's a nice name you picked out for yourself.

"Ticket number 445128...".

445128.

445128.

Sorry, sir.

I'm naked. I'm naked.

Why?

-Sir. -Wait wait wait...

Luggage room off limits!

Yeah, that's why I'm, I'm just- needed a place. Coming.

- Sir! - Yeah.

-Just a minute. -Sir open!

Open please!

Yeah. Yeah, he's--

-He's in the luggage room. -I was just...

He opened now, yeah, yeah.

So sorry, Nehir.

-Let me talk to... -No.

Yeah.

I told you luggage room off limits.

You don't get to tell me anything, okay?

I tell you, okay? I'm the guest.

You smell like booze, you know that?

Little punk. What do you got?

You allowed to have this on the job?

It's shit.

Amazing work, mon ami.

- I found Gilgamesh. - -Well, we need some positives, but...

We'll get those, and then we print.

Wait, wait.

-You found the muse, sure. -Yeah, I found Gilgamesh.

Unbelievable.

But you still have a flight to catch. We'll take it from here.

- But... - -Where is my passport, Sharisse?

But he's my protagonist... right?

Your time is up, Theo.

But I'm happy for you, you deserve to retire on a high note.

- I got you his travel numbers. - We're past this.

-Plus, the CEO wants this to happen. -445218.

Yea, sure.

Theo, enough with the hero stuff. Stand down.

You did you job. You are not mission critical, and please--

I am critical!

No, you are not.

Maybe I can get close, you know, close enough...

- We have no time. - to...

...publish myself.

Oh my God, I think he's having a stroke.

- Pierre? - -Are you having a stroke, Theo?

-Pierre, did you hear what I just said?

Theo, Gilgamesh is there for only one night, we have no time for this.

You want me to...

- get him to stay an extra night? - No, no.

Okay, yeah I can do that.

Listen, Theo. No, you're leaving! This--

Okay, yeah, one more night.

You can do it.

I can make him stay one more night...

Ah, my friend!

I'll take one. Good to see you.

It's my favorite.

-Hi. -Hi Mr. Fisher.

Daddy's home.

Smoking is good cover for a lookout.

Dov, everyone knows you don't smoke.

Having a girl by your side is good cover for a lookout.

-When's your checkout? -I postponed it for you!

-Really? -Yeah. Isn't it your karaoke night?

I am gonna be there.

-Ok yea, let's do it. -Yea, we'll sing...

Eden, I need you, now.

I'm on my cigarette break.

So about your college essay.

So, yeah what was the title of that essay?

"How I ran away from my army service to scam American shoppers"?

You sold crap in malls? Who falls for that?

Bet you'd buy it from me.

Excuse me, sir.

-Can I show you something amazing? -Oh.

Well, Christmas is coming up and I'm pretty sure

I can save you a lot of time choosing a gift for your wife.

Well, yea I'm unmarried actually. I don't--

No way! A good looking man like you?

-You don't have anyone in your life? -No, I haven't been able to

-find that special-- -Well, look at your nails.

Look, look.

Ordinary right?

But. Look what happens just after only one minute of--

-This. -A nail-buffer...

-Wow. -Ta-da.

Well the product is useless after a few tries, but they mainly like the show.

Americans, you know.

Yeah yeah yeah...

Yeah I know where this is going.

You Israelis are so smart and we Americans are so stupid.

No, not stupid, just...

Naive.

Oh we're naive?

You're the one who got deported.

Ended up stuck in...

Turkey.

Are you okay?

Yea. No, I mean. This book is...

It's driving me crazy just thinking about it.

Maybe just stop thinking so much then.

Easy.

I know it's crazy, but you see that guy?

From the moment he arrived, I started writing again.

I can't explain it, but I'm inspired.

He's right over there.

Should I send him a drink?

Yea.

-You sure? I'll do it. -Okay.

Alright, I'll go...

I'll do it.

But you owe me a karaoke song. My choice!

Motherfucker.

She liked me, she wanted to help. That's it.

I didn't use her, it wasn't like that.

I mean "handled".

She just worked there!

Ok. I gotta pee.

Okay, pause recording.

Okay, where's the bathroom?

Is it there? Thank you, sorry, ouch, sorry.

Alright, I'm back.

Sorry.

Sorry, where were we?

You were a spotter, so was I, for years.

You spot, you leave.

We needed an extra night Tessa, I...

I couldn't just leave until I...

You just couldn't leave, period.

Why did Gilgamesh stay? Why did you stay?

-Because I deserve to... -What? What do you deserve?

So which whiskey did you end up choosing?

I sent the bartender over, so...

The name's Theo.

What's your name?

Honey! Have you heard?

It's Princess Diana. She's dead.

-What?! -In France.

-How did it happen? -I don't know.

-A car accident, I don't know. -Oh my God, where is the television?

Mossad?

Or MI6?

What?

Her "car accident".

CIA also possible.

But Americans are not as subtle.

Funny.

So why aren't you laughing?

So, you think it was a conspiracy?

Then what's the truth?

I don't know.

But probably it's much...

Simpler, much lonelier.

English driver,

on a French road...

Hey, wait.

Oh yeah, you- you are, you are the guy who--

Yeah, sounds right.

Bisan, honey, this is Theo. He's a--

You two have been here before? Have you...

-No comment. -What do you do?

I write. I'm a writer.

I'm still figuring out my protagonist, it's...

-It's complicated. -Yes, I hear you.

Nice to meet you.

Oh it's... yeah, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Take care.

See you, man.

Can you... can you op- can you open the door?

- It's stuck. - What's the problem?

I don't know...

It's jammed. Maybe you can open it from the inside?

I just want a... so it won't heat up.

What do you mean, "stuck"?

I don't know, it's a little stuck.

Where are you? Amal! Where are you?

Wait... hang on, don't scream, don't panic.

-Don't panic! -Amal!

Listen to me, listen to me.

Breath in, breath out.

Just try to... That's it.

Breath in, breath out. Just try to relax.

-Amal! -Just try to relax.

We're so lucky I was nearby to help Bisan, huh?

You know, there's a great hospital here.

You know, she's gonna be okay, don't worry.

They key is-- don't worry...

Do I seem worried to you?

You can still have fun on your own too, right?

It's a chilly morning huh? I forgot my--

Here.

Oh.

Thank you, thank you.

It's good, I mean, you seem like you got it under control, so...

Can I offer you some advice?

Relax.

Nothing is under control.

Your room is ready sir.

-Your credit card has been declined. -What?

No... there must be a mistake.

It's my work card.

No mistake. Declined.

Declined? I mean...

Never trust the fucking Jews at the World Bank huh? Screwing us.

I guess that was kind of racist...

Okay.

Enjoy.

Are you... maybe up for a run later?

Give me, give me... What happened to your hand?

Alpha. Foxtrot. Zulu.

Echo. Hotel. Bravo.

Umbrella. Tango. Tango.

Hotel. Alpha. Juliet.

Who is it?

Room service, sir.

Leave it outside, please.

I did what had to be done.

Well, Israeli chutzpa.

I got your room number from the lobby.

Yeah, sure.

What are you wearing?

My running suit. What about you?

Vacation means vacation. Come on, come on in.

I will finish the Ruman and then we head out, okay?

-Ruman? -Yeah, this is Ruman in Arabic.

It's a... Pomegranate in... American.

-Okay. -One of the sweeter fruits.

Nice.

Five more Israeli soldiers killed today in a surprise rocket attack

from neighboring Lebanon.

Israeli premier promised a swift retaliation.

"The long arm of the Israeli Defense Forces will hunt down our enemies"

here and abroad", he promised.

What do you do back home, buddy?

I'm a father, buddy.

I play music.

I cook, buddy.

Work.

What do you do for work?

I work in import-export.

Oh, how interesting.

Is that really interesting?

I mean everything is import-export.

The Ruman is the result of import and export.

It was probably imported in, and then other things are exported out.

So it's really the... the cycle of...

life, in a sense, you know I mean...

Look, buddy, I don't feel like running tonight, okay? -What?

Thank you, thank you, thank you for coming.

-It's okay, enjoy your vacation. -I don't understand.

-I don't know what you're hiding. -My book, my...

It's just weird.

Wait, I didn't tell you about my book!

Maybe some other time. Goodbye!

You are my book! It's you!

You're doing it wrong, my friend.

What do you mean?

Relax, give me. Relax.

It's okay, it's okay.

-You feel it? -Yeah.

-It's okay, relax. -Okay.

Look at this.

-Oh, yeah. -Good.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I feel that.

Yeah... Oh.

Good, relax.

It's hard to relax.

It kind of hurts, but it's...

Okay.

You let me beat you.

Why?

What are you talking about? No.

No, I haven't run in so long.

-That's just how I run- -Why?

It wasn't even a race.

That's just how I run, I'm not that experienced...

Don't lie.

Because I wanted you to like me!

Thank you for that.

I'm starting to.

Dov, quick clarification--

What were the positive IDs you had on Gilgamesh at this point?

The best one was on the roof!

Thank you for that. I'm starting to.

Meet me upstairs in an hour. The old terrace.

I've got a surprise.

Okay, alright. Yeah we get it, I'm a pleaser...

-Okay? -There you go. Takes forever to get some truth with you guys.

-"You guys", "you guys". -Yeah, Americans.

-That's rude. -No no no, it's true.

There's a difference.

-Peach versus Coconut. -What are you talking about?

-Look at me, Middle Easterners? -Yeah.

Coconuts.

-Rough on the outside... -Good for you.

But once you get in,

-we are wide open. -Ah, yeah. And how are Americans peaches?

Seemingly friendly, soft on the outside.

"Oh, hi new friend! I'm Theo."

"Oh nice to meet you, Theo!".

"Oh wow, how interesting, wow!"

-Stop, stop. -But once you get a bit deeper?

Hard.

God knows what you are hiding.

Peaches.

And coconuts...

We smell imposters a mile away.

Alright, alright.

Mister authenticity...

Tell me about you then.

Come on, like...

How many kids you got?

You know, sharing with a writing man is like hugging a pickpocket.

Alright, alright.

My kids died.

A long time ago.

I was a different man.

Those bastards hit our car.

Should have been me.

At least I made them pay.

They're still paying.

And um...

Yeah and you just left, you... You stopped working?

I disappeared for a while.

Today I work much less.

I consult on big projects, keeps me busy.

Ready?

Oh, wow.

Wow!

Wow, you play?

-Yes, I play. -Wow.

But maybe we smoke something first.

That's what the bell boy gave you.

It was for Bisan, but...

You're ready for it, peach?

This peach did college in the '60s, man.

Come on, light that shit up, man.

So, this is not the first time doing acid, huh?

Acid? Acid?

Wait a minute, aren't we too old for that?

Nothing is under control.

Who smokes acid anyway?

No, no...

I don't do... I never...

-I'm not... -Okay.

Why don't we light the one that doesn't have this...

acid on it?

I have an early flight anyway.

Yeah, okay.

Light that shit up...

Ready to tune in?

Oh yeah, I'm ready to tune in.

Yeah.

Shhh, relax.

Just anchor yourself to me.

Come on.

Shh.

Feels soft like a...

coconut.

Yeah.

Ronnie. My daughter's here.

She always liked fireworks.

I'm with you, baby.

Still, this happened with my American passport on Turkish soil.

Anyway, I noticed the burns first.

Also his height, weight, age. But...

I can't know for sure.

The burn mark.

Yes sir.

I can't believe you visited her.

This is Amal Salame speaking, hi.

This is Ama--

Yeah, this is Amal. I'd like to cancel my wake-up call for tomorrow, please.

Yes, room 230, yes.

Amal Salame. Yes, yes.

No thank you. I'll book another flight tomorrow, thank you.

Okay, alright.

So you wanna hear all my calls? Okay.

Hey, Pierre. How's the Paris sun?

Look, man, I am sorry for hanging up on you before.

It's Danah, I'm Pierre's intern today.

Hi Daina. Please put Pierre on.

No, he's done with you. How is the...

The Turkish air is great. How's the Paris sun?

- Ah Turkish, yea. -Alright, write this down, I got the muse

to stick around a bit longer,

because I'm amazing, write that down too.

Plus, I definitely got those positives we needed.

- Dead kids. - Theo.

- Everything. - Wait, wait, listen.

The book is ready to print, okay? Tell Pierre.

Your replacement arrived. Brief him and retire.

Look, without me, there would be zero inspiration in this project, okay?

It's my story, the intel was collected by me.

Stop saying things that don't make sense

on the phone, please.

You are a writer Theo, you write books.

Then let me fucking write!

Theo. You're not young, it will be safer.

A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what it was built for.

Have you met your replacement? Red?

You sent Red?

Here we go. Fuck.

Hello sir, welcome to Hotel Europe.

Hello.

Sorry for bumping into you, I feel bad, you're new here.

I'd love to give you some recommendations, can I buy you a coffee? Great, let's sit.

So... thanks for giving me tips while I'm here, sir.

So you're new in town. There are great things to see here.

You know what?

Maybe we should drop the whole... "Helpful Tourist" bit,

because I was thinking that our mutual cover should be

that we connected together...

No, that's... that's redundant.

All connections are together, okay? Speak the English.

Right.

Luggage sir?

Yeah, thank you.

You're welcome.

Fucker.

This kid's an asshole.

Anyway, we connected after the publishing house

sent me to help you with your writing.

-Might be a stronger story, no? -No.

Okay, so where's our publishing house, what's the address?

Is the secretary a blonde or is 'she' in fact a 'he'?

-Where and when did we last meet up? -You know what? Forget about it.

We bumped into each other. It's fucking amateur hour over here...

I'm giving you tips.

It's easiest, just be easy.

Concentrate. Eat some candy.

You don't eat the candy, you just eat the nuts?

Yeah, I don't like this Turkish delight.

I don't find it delighting.

You don't find it delighting?

-What... -I don't find it delighting.

-Isn't that a word? -No, it's not. It's a...

-It's not a verb? -It's a terrible accent, first of all.

-"Delighting". -"Delighting" is not a word.

You delight the Menorah? What are you talking about?

So, the talk is you went off the deep end.

What gives?

First you were born, and then 30 years later

they give you my life's work, that's what gives.

Let's get some sun.

-Um, Theo... -Not now.

I don't want to hear it.

You know, here is just as safe, grandma.

-Your passport is your only weapon, treat it as such. -Yeah.

That and my sexy cologne, right?

-Smell it. -Believe me, everyone smells it.

-Oh, sorry. -"Sorry"? You're such an American.

And yet, you boys get all the work.

This isn't even cover, it's just... you.

It still takes skill.

Lots of it, I know.

I'm serious about lending you cologne, though.

You smell like my mom.

And she's been dead for three years.

She's not dead, sweetie, you just have to fuck her right.

Oh...

Oh!

Watch it. We just met, you Krav Maga ape.

Hey, what can I say?

I'm a friendly ape.

So, how did you realize it was him?

Analysts said the Uncut Warrior was deader than dead.

Well, I just...

Amazing work.

Thank you.

When do you fly back home?

Just say when.

Thanks for taking this like a good sport, man.

Yeah, no problem, it's not a problem for me.

My daughter misses me anyway.

I made sure Gilgamesh missed his flight this morning,

so the next one is tomorrow,

but he's constantly in his room.

So, you know, maybe you can sneak in or something.

Hey, watch it, peeling it in one go

is very Israeli, I'm just telling you.

Infant.

No.

So he's constantly in his room?

He does go downstairs for meals, though?

Just when we have coffee.

You have coffee with the Uncut?

The work we do, right?

Must get some fresh air eventually, though.

I remind you, he did spend a decade in an Afghan cave. Right?

But, you know, I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get him out of his room somehow.

Right?

-Right. -Yeah.

Is he a big guy? 'Cause I'm...

I'm waiting in his room with the Snowhite.

You didn't bring a second?

No.

He's in really good shape. When we went running,

-he really... -You went running with him also?

That's interesting.

What?

It'll be perfect.

You go running with him, tire him out.

Yeah, but my orders are to leave.

-He'll only go out with you, right? -Right.

So. I'll 'Naked Breach', wait in his room,

Delphi will manage perimeter.

They fucking sent Delphi?

Oy!

So, is he really called the Uncut because they couldn't circumcise him?

I got the same intel as you.

That's what I'm saying.

So is he? Uncircumcised?

How would I fucking know?

Fucking disgusting.

What are you doing with your voice?

They gave me an Irish passport this time.

Ye like it? Aye?

Nay.

It's growing on me, man.

Ok, Theo. Take him for a long run, exhaust him,

then come back to the hotel... Minimal resistance, right?

Orders are orders. Sorry.

You're the combatant in the field, you make the decisions.

-I'm sure you'll be able to come up with something. -Wait.

I need you to say it.

You're...

Mission critical.

I didn't check the feedback yet, so...

Ow!

How did gear check go?

Haven't yet. You want to check out shit?

Nice.

Arming the Snowhite, careful.

You're about to take a human life.

Yeah, the drill will kick in, I'll be okay.

You're gonna use the blood choke on Gligamesh? I mean...

No, no. We're not gonna go for the blood choke.

This isn't 1981.

Oy, oy lads, relax. The Snowhite is right there.

What's wrong with you? I know what I'm doing.

Fine, yeah. Yeah. Use yours, whatever.

Okay, let's run visuals from the Turkish media, please.

A first Istanbul TV exclusive

of the tragic events in Hotel Europa.

Here we can see a woman,

"Sarah Gallagher", Irish, taking position.

Istanbul police suspect she was the one who guarded

the corridor as her partners set up inside.

And now, the main player, "Theo Fischer", American,

walking towards the notorious room 230.

Hard to imagine this man is the key suspect

in the horrors to come.

Here is Amal Salame,

stepping out, good spirited.

We are still unclear as to the nature of the relationship.

We know now this was only a decoy.

Notice the third man,

"Paul Rhoanna", Canadian.

We see him approaching the hotel maid,

telling her he forgot his key.

She was fired the next day, and I was told--

- Red here. I'm in the room. - Alpha. Good.

Red, how long will it take you to set up?

Who's clicking? Is that you, Dov?

Red, get out of there now.

The injection isn't ready. Give me 20 seconds.

You got ten.

Stop pressing the button... I need my-- it's two seconds!

- They have great shampoo there! - Red.

Buy me more time. I need a few more seconds.

- It looks clean to me. - I need my shampoo.

Red you are comprised, leave the room now!

He's in the hall. Should I jump from the porch?

Prepare to go loud.

No, wait! I got this.

You're a crazy man.

Almost done.

Oh my God.

What a save.

-Two seconds, I told you. -Okay.

-No problem. -No problem.

You are... You're a funny little man, you know that?

Nice, very nice.

But just to clarify, you two just became running buddies?

Come on, guys like Gilgamesh are usually extremely private.

Never underestimate a human connection.

Hey Pini, Pini. You ever tell her about "Nexus"?

Remember Rigby's face?

He got plastic surgery? Come on.

"Your nose is shouting: 'My name is Avi, hang me in the square'!"

Guys, guys, can we please?

What really happened. What really happened?

Okay, why won't you cut the fake British shit, okay?

You grew up in Rehovot.

We care about you, we want this to be over too,

-but we all know what's up. -Right.

What's up?

No, Felix.

What is this really about, Tessa?

You being single and pregnant?

This isn't you, I know you.

Then what is it that we all know?

No, no, no, no.

Just tell me exactly what you think you know.

I can take a couple of jabs from a fellow combatant.

Come on!

Still a softy, huh? Ever since the course, right?

Aqua something.

Aqua-technica.

That's what they say.

All the time, to everyone.

For queen and country, ain't no shame in it.

But we don't lie here.

What are you talking about?

I got him to stay.

We just... connected.

I'm so happy I met you. What are the chances?

You have to, you know... to take off this.

They're so good.

- Come on! -I'm telling you everything I knew.

- Really? - Yeah, really.

- Everything? - Everything.

Okay. Everything.

Okay.

-Enjoy your meal. -Why don't you join us?

-No I have to go. -No, no, no. Join us, join us, come on.

Here. Come, sit down, sit down. I want you to...

-Slide over. Be a gentleman. -Don't. Don't.

You said you're not lying, right?

This is... don't, don't, don't. Just don't, don't.

Tessa, don't.

How was the run?

My writer's block? It's gone.

Wow.

Did I ever inspire you like that?

- You? You're my biggest inspiration.

You know what?

You want to come up for a drink on the roof in an hour?

Huh?

Just the three of us.

-The three of us? -What did you do Dov?

This is holy, what was right, what was wrong.

Tessa no!

- Fine I'll come. - No no no.

-I need to go, early checkout. -Wait a minute, wait a minute.

The night is just getting started. Wait, what's this?

No, he needs to go, he wakes up early.

-We're having a little night cap. -Oh my God.

-A little something. -Okay just a little bit.

No, but ladies first.

Baby?

Feels like a coconut.

And you just left her there.

It was the only way he'd miss his flight.

- Dov. - There was no sex!

Dovenport.

-David. -What?

You're a funny little man, you know that?

Let's go.

What a night...

How's Eden?

You should get her running with you, not me.

Such a wanker...

Hold on, you're moving too fast, Dov. You left something out.

In the showers maybe? After the run?

No. Just...

Go back to the showers.

I've enjoyed getting to know you, Amal.

What, you are leaving?

You met me at a very strange time in my life.

I don't... I don't care about publishing on my own anymore. I don't know.

Well, there are two tragedies in life.

Not getting what you want,

and...

getting it.

We hit the spa...

Got some steam. It was awesome. It was really good...

Red was all set up in the room, what took you so long in the showers?

What?

-What's wrong? -You're circumcised.

So? You want a picture? Give me the towel.

You're not supposed to be.

According to whom?

Look. I'm Muslim, remember? We cut.

But you're the Uncut.

What?

Your father has...

Had a kebab shop.

-A kebab shop? -Yeah, a kebab shop.

My father was a teacher, you racist shit.

-So let me guess, who am I? A terrorist? -No, no, of course.

You're a freedom fighter.

Oh fuck off... My girls died, my girls!

-Girls? No, boys, boys! -My boy wasn't in the car!

A car accident.

It was a car bomb.

A car bomb. It killed your family.

It killed your family.

"Those bastards, I made them pay". You said, you said up on the--

-You said, "I made them pay". -Yes.

-Right? -And they paid, I won in court.

They're still paying.

Enough games, what's your job?

It's complex.

It's a multi-level marketing model, okay?

I recruit workers, and then they recruit workers.

You want in?

You run a fucking pyramid scheme?

You run a fucking pyramid scheme?

No wait, wait, wait...

-I'm so fucked right now. -No, no scheme.

Look, I offer you passive income,

like 2,000 dollars a month.

You have to leave.

It's dangerous for you here.

-Okay. -No, no, no.

Leave the hotel, I'm serious.

About what, psycho? I need to take my clothes.

You have no idea how hard this is for me... wow.

Ok. Yeah.

Now, you're gonna go.

Just put those clothes on and leave.

-Just leave? -Leave!

-Leave now? -Yes. Just get a taxi.

Just put that on, go upstairs, and get a taxi right away.

I promise!

I'm leaving right now, I promise.

- Hi, hi, yes. - Reception.

Yea, I see, I--

I see smoke coming out of room 230's window.

Yea, send someone fast.

- You're sure? - 230!

-Sir! -Sir, there is a fire!

Sir!

Sir, open!

We have to evacuate right now!

Fucking A....

Sir!

Where is the--

Priority one, get him out of there. How is he handling it?

Just... you know, a few scratches, but...

All in all, he's taking it like a pro.

So Red triggered the smoke alarm, then jumped into the bushes... What?

If someone finds his passport and takes it to the embassy we are fucked.

Yeah, no, don't worry.

- No one's gonna find it. - How do you know?

Well, it probably fell when he jumped. He's an amateur.

So you seem to be...

Mission critical.

- Yea. - But...

- But what? - My inspiration's gone.

What?

It's gone.

Nothing to write about, Pierre, maybe there never was.

But you had him. But you--

What?

Yeah, you really fucked up, I mean they are pissed.

Just a word of advice, just on your next tour...

Go with the doc wallet.

You get it? Write that down.

I thought lost passports were a separate thing.

Stolen!

Look, he did it. I know he did it.

-Write that shit down. -Okay, first thing's first, Red, okay?

Anything else before the hamam?

Nothing worth mentioning here.

Avram said we should hurry so...

Bye Pelin!

Pelin!

Hey! I promised I'd show up.

What are you doing?

Okay.

Okay.

-Let's see... -What was that last night?

Why did you leave?

Sorry, I thought he was...

I made a mistake. Made a...

-I made a mistake. -What does that mean?

What?

Where were you all day?

Writing.

- "Writing". - Yeah.

Who was that guy you left the hotel with?

He was a fucking idiot tourist.

He needed directions.

Come here.

You were right. This place is bad for me.

You said we were gonna...

spend the night together.

Just the two of us.

We are.

We're gonna do karaoke.

Singing.

Wow...

My daughter loves this one.

Are you still high?

That's my music from home, it's an Israeli artist.

-My daughter loves this one. -Yeah, right.

What?

Can you do this one with me?

Please.

Come on.

Just teach me.

Wow, I haven't heard this one in so long.

Come on.

Why did you avoid me?

What happened?

You could trust me.

You think I'm damaged.

No. No, God no.

No.

We're all damaged.

You're perfect.

Just tell me, what happened on the roof?

Did he? Did he? Just tell me.

It's not him. It's you.

How do you know this song?

What are you?

I wish I could tell you.

Tell me.

Tell me.

You already know what I am.

You're not an author, right? You're--

You're a liar.

I'm not a great author...

You're a fucking liar.

It was important.

I trusted you!

Anything else before the hamam?

Avram said we should hurry, so--

Nothing worth mentioning here.

Shut the fuck up, guys.

Do you know what it's like, to live among you for 30 years?

Fucking hell.

Why is it always so fucking...

This place, man...

It's just...

It's just too fucking hot.

Why...

Is it always... so fucking hot?

All the fucking time!

Yes, keep going, honey.

Relax, you're so tense.

That feels good...

Oh yes, that's good.

You have great, great hands.

Would you like to go next?

Massage?

Fuck.

You were supposed to leave.

You, why did you...

You're still here.

Please. Not again.

-You're still here. -This is very weird.

I know it seems weird to you, but...

You don't understand.

Don't come near me, okay?

I saved your life.

You don't understand.

No, you don't understand.

I want nothing to do with you.

-Nothing! -Why? Why didn't you leave?

Hey, don't touch me!

You...

You're just a...

you're just a sad, sad man.

Pathetic.

I thought you were dangerous.

What? No no no, can't be.

Dov. Time's up.

Is this how your story ends?

What do you mean?

He confessed right?

Oh yeah...

So I grabbed him. And he got violent.

He said: "You Mossad guys are idiots, you know?"

Then Gilgamesh said: "what's wrong with you?!"

Then he said: "I will rain fire on your country!"

Come on!

Ow, fuck!

Then I pulled his ears off.

See?

I can tell a story.

One with a happy ending.

A hero's welcome.

Me getting a seat at their table.

- And now, I'm finally one of them.

There are two tragedies in life:

Not getting what you want--

Truth is,

every story can have a happy ending.

But that depends of course

on where you stop your story.
