'Who do you trust?
How do you know?'

Stop looking for him.
Let the police do it.

'By how they appear?

'Or what they say?

'What they do?'

The seeds of our educational
investment programme

are finally beginning to flourish,

whilst our dear friend Shlomo Zahary

is about to roll out phase one
of our telecommunications network

which will link it all together.

'We all have secrets.'

1.5 million dollars,

channelled through
Ephra Stein's education charity.

To secure the release
of an Israeli soldier.

'But mostly we tell lies.'

We cannot be compromised.

Don't be so naive.

'We hide our secrets
from each other...'

Is Kasim mine? No.

It's hers. It's Nessa's.

'From ourselves.

'So, when you think about it like
that...'

God may forgive you
for what you've done.

But Israel won't.

If you kill the child, they kill me.

But if you have it,
they're going to let you go home.

'..it's a wonder we trust
anyone at all.'

Where will I have it?

Here.

Your mother died in childbirth.

You won't.

I promise.

What if I don't?

It's not...it's...

It's what it means.

You know, I go home
and I tell the world...

..and every single decision I ever
make will be judged against it.

Do I hate them?

Do I love them? Do I want revenge?
Am I secretly in their thrall?

Every single thing I do,
that's what people will wonder.

I can give birth to a child.

That's not me. That's just biology.

What would I say or...

..do, or...

..think?

What I want...

..this company to achieve...

..that's me.

So, I can...

I can have this baby and I might
live.

But whatever happens,
I'm going to lose my life.

Give it to me.

Give it to me.

I owe it to you.

And...when we leave...

..let it always have been mine.

Hm?

(Give it to me.)

Modeh ani lefanecha.

Don't be afraid.

I'm safe.

I can't do this.

If it's the price
for a nation.

What the fuck's going on here?

Sorry, Shlomo,
but with Nessa away travelling...

Nessa? What's she got to do with it?

You're the one
makes the decisions round here.

Maybe you could get
someone else to pick it up.

Someone else?

I have over half a million drums of
backbone cabling sitting in my
factories.

There's no-one else to pick it up.
There's no-one else wants to do this.

I'm about to dig up half of the
fucking West Bank here. What the
fuck's the...

Well, then, take it!

Take it all!

Just take it.

What is it, boy?

What is it you're not telling me?

It's over, Shlomo.

Fuck you, "this is over".

We've only just begun.

Hey, come here, come here, come here.

Give old Shlabala a hug.
Come here. Ah!

Lay the cabling.

Why? Just do it.

Will it get her back?

Will it get her back?

Lay the cable.

And when they're down, there's
something else we want you to do.

Move.

What are you doing out here?

We're laying the cabling.
It's what Nessa would want.

Where is she, Ephra?
It's all good.

Modeh ani lefanecha melech chai
vekayam...

..shehechezarta bi nishmati
b'chemla,

raba emunatecha.

OK, another one's coming.

It's OK.

Oh. Oh.

Oh-h.

Oh.

Oh!

Oh.

Oh!

Oh! Oh! Now push. Push.

Oh! Push, Nessa, push!

Oh!

Push! Oh!

Oh! Oh!

Oh, yeah.

Let's see you. Let's see you.

Let's see you.

There you are.

Oh!

He sneezed.

It's so slow, isn't it?

What is?

Time.

I think I can help speed it up.

There's someone I can ask
owes me a further favour.

Who? But if it works,

if it gets your sister out,
there are things you have to do.

Anything.

You'll have to step down
as head of the company.

You think I care about that?
I'd get rid of the lot.

Everything.
No, I don't want you to do that.

Then you'll have to get rid of any -
all - evidence of what's happened.

In here.

And in here.

And then you have to put
Nessa in your place.

Unaware and uncompromised.

Can you do that?

Easily.

Oh, and there's one last thing.

You have to tell me why the Israelis
have allowed you to carry on laying
that cable.

You said you'd do anything
to get your sister out.

Mm.

So, if I do, that's
what you'll tell me.

We applaud your altruism, Daniel.

Given recent events, we expected you
to shut the Stein Group down.

It's a private company.
Which needs your cooperation.

In every negotiation,
there's always give as well as take.

Well, you're certainly giving the
PLO an awful lot with these cables.

Not us. Ah, course.

The Stein Group.

Though I do wonder just how long
that's going to continue.

It's not up to us to decide.

Have you seen Ephra Stein recently?

Carries on, pretty soon
that company is going to collapse,

and I cannot think
that's what you want,

whatever it is you want it for.

However, there is an alternative.

With all these bombs Hamas keep
throwing into your country,

I suspect your forces
are about to re-enter Gaza.

If they can't settle it for
themselves, we'll do it for them.

That's an unfortunate reality.

Hm.

But it does offer
one tiny, little silver lining.

Nessa Stein.

Are you trying to play us, Julia?

Daniel.

As her brother's dramatic
weight-loss programme has clearly
taught me,

when it comes to the Middle East,
you never, ever try to play
the Israelis.

Atika?

Nessa Stein? Yes.

Out! Harness. 20 seconds. You also.

Harness. 15 seconds.

What's that? Baby.

What baby? Mine! Ten seconds!

Give him to me. Give me the baby!

Go! Go now!

Who told you?

Ephra, who told you?

What, that his father's a Palestinian
terrorist and his mother's...

..you?

Atika?

Why did she tell you?

I'm a little loose with
my...affections.

Oh.

Hm. How?

Well, what do you expect me
to say to that?

But in your own house or...?

The easy bit's because I'm a bastard,

but the more difficult bit
I got from my therapist.

You're seeing a therapist? Yeah.
Why? Why are you seeing a therapist?

I don't know, Nessa. Maybe it's cos
I'm fucking my housekeeper.

And what did he say? She.

Well, I've gone way beyond guilt,
but...

actually, where I've ended up,

I don't think you're going to like
that either. It, um...

It makes me feel better.

Cheating on your wife?
Having a secret.

One that I can call my own.

What if Atika tells Rachel?
No, she won't. She can't.

Secrets are weird.
People think you share them.

But you don't.

They have two sides.
Either you own them or they own you.

And this secret, it owns her.

Why? Because she has so much more
to lose.

Think about it.

So, the truth is, whatever I ask
her to do, she has to do it,

because that's the way
our secret works.

So, what about yours...

..Nessa?

Kasim's kidnappers.
Have they made contact with you?

What do they want?

I don't know.

Why not?

I keep thinking about something...

..something that he said.

What do they know?

That they know everything.

Well, what's everything?

How did you think
you were going to keep that one?

Ephra, how are we going to keep
any of this, if I didn't?

Oh, boy, we're in trouble.

So, when they tell you what they
want, what are you going to do?

You're going to do exactly
what they say, that's what.

Not until I know.
No, no, we know already.

And believe me, speaking as someone
who really knows about this shit,

you don't have the choice,
not any more.

We don't know that. Yes, we do.

Because that's the side you're on,
Nessa.

You don't own this secret.
It owns you.

- It's empty.
- I know.

Now go to look along the water.

My father bought
this for my mother...

..so she'd have somewhere
to escape to.

I think Rachel feels the same.

And you?

It's not for me to choose.

Where would you go if you could?

I don't know.

It doesn't exist, not yet.

So, now you're the wandering Arab

who'll do anything she has to,
just to survive?

You feel betrayed.

Are you surprised?

No.

You know everything about me.

I couldn't tell you.
Yes, you could.

It wasn't mine to say.

Was it Ephra
and his fucking secrets?

He's so full of shit.

I didn't think you'd ever
have to know.

Well, just don't say
you didn't have a choice.

I didn't, Nessa.

You did. You could have chosen me.

I couldn't.

What happened between us,
no-one else can ever understand.

That's what we have.

And that's what you're feeling.

I wouldn't have survived
without you!

We did it together.

But you don't love the rock
that saves you from the sea.

I do. No.
Don't tell me how I am. Don't.

No. I know how I am. I know.

I've known from the first moment
I saw you at that fucking
checkpoint.

I know how I am.

Then I'm telling you
how you must be.

For Kasim. You love him?

For your son.

You're right.

I am a wandering Arab.

It's what the world has made me.

(I'm sorry.)

Judah, are you going to help me
out here?

As I remember, if I were you,
I'd consider moving your knight
from C3 to D5.

The child of one of
your most celebrated patriots

gets kidnapped in Gaza
seven years ago.

For 11 months, stalemate,

then in goes your Unit 13, and, bang,

she and her translator
are out in a trice.

Now, I would have thought that was
cause for huge national celebration,

but you're telling me that until
I just told you, you'd never
even heard of it?

No, I'm not saying that.

Ah.

I'm saying, even now,
after you told me...

..I still haven't heard of it.

Then I think you should listen.

You know, apparently,

there are as many possibilities
in chess

as there are atoms in the universe.

But I think they must have
excluded the Middle East.

-'Is your secret safe?'
- Yes, it is.

'Someone will come to you.'

Jalal El-Amin.
To what do I owe this honour?

Your third-phase cabling contract
into the West Bank.

We're now in a position
to bid for this.

A very good position.

I'll look into it.

Where is Mr Bloom?

I don't know.

He is no longer in your employ?

No.

Is he connectable?

I don't believe he is, no.

This is a shame.

I...I have something else
to show you.

Three months ago, Mr Bloom,
he is receiving a call
from a strange number.

Whose? Wait, please.

This is a story with an order.

After this call, Mr Bloom,
he is going somewhere.

Here.

Ten minutes later, we are seeing...

this.

Monica Chatwin.

So, two coffees, one savoury, and 19
minutes later, she is leaving.

Bye-bye, pecan pie.

Four minutes after, he is the same.

But this time,

you see what he is carrying?

This is the report
Mr Bloom gave to you

saying Shlomo Zahary

has links with Hezbollah.

Because of this,
you did not give him your contract.

And this is the one Zahary gave

to you to be proving his innocence.

We are being carefully
analysing both.

Very good, each, excepting

one tiny error on this one.

There is a date

on this financial transfer here,

which is being impossible.

This date is a Lebanese banking
holiday.

This day, the banks shutting.

This transfer was not happening.

This report is being a liar.

This report is being truthfulness.

Mr Bloom, I think,

is making the big mistake.

And do you think that's what it is,
or...

do you think
he's complicit in some way?

This is for him to say

and for you to feel.

But Shlomo's innocent.

This I can be saying.

I could have given him the contract.

This you can be saying also.

Rarrrgh! Rarrrgh!

Rarrrgh! Whoo!

Rarrrgh! Rarrrgh! Ha-ha!

Rarrrgh! Ha-ha!

Phew!

You were right.

Does that mean I get the contract?

It means you get my apology.

But not the contract.

You know how much my company's worth?

Three billion dollars.

I provide billing,
directory services,

credit checks for 53 of the world's
leading telephone companies.

In America, in the UK, Europe,
Hotzenplotz.

I suck it all from all over
the world.

They all come to me.

And how much is your contract worth?

About 75 million.

Gross.

So, you might as well
pay me loose change.

But do you know why I want to do it?

Because I love you.

And I love what you're trying to do.

It's that simple.

Don't make it any harder.

Grandpa! Grandpa!

The monster is coming back!

Rarrrgh!

Rarrrgh! Rarrrgh!

You want to help me? I do.

So, what is this? And this?
And this? That's what you call help?

Why did Nathaniel listen to you?

Because it's true. I do want to help.

You shouldn't be working
with Shlomo Zahary.

Why?

Because he will compromise you.

He doesn't have a Hezbollah
connection.

No, he doesn't. You lied.

Yes, I did. Why?

Because what he's actually done
is far, far worse.

You have to think very carefully now
about what I'm about to tell you,

because if you decide to tell
everyone else what I'm about to say,

there won't be a phase three,
there won't be anything.

Cos if the world finds out
what Shlomo Zahary has done...

..you'll be ruined.

I need to speak to Aron Yavin.

'Aron Yavin.

'Hold, please, for Nessa Stein.'

You're losing weight.

It's the worry.

I thought I was the one supposed
to be sniffing round Nessa Stein.

You are.

So, how come she's got
in front of the trail?

Like the gorgeous Americans,

she believes that Nessa Stein
deserves our unconditional support.

She's worried that what you are
doing may undermine that.

So, you're running two dogs
after the same ball.

Exactly.

What does she want Nessa Stein
to achieve?

What the noble Baroness
has always said she wanted -

equality of opportunity
between Palestine and Israel.

And Chatwin thinks laying a few
cables is going to do that?

I agree.

There must be something more to it
than that. Such as?

I don't know, Hugh.
The ball is still out there.

I'm just waiting to see
which one of you brings it back.

The young pup...

Or the old dog.

Try not to piss it all up
against the wall.

Thank you for flying in so promptly
and thank you for your discretion.

What's so important
it can't be said on the phone?

These are permissions for you

to enter every telephone exchange
on the Israeli/West Bank border,

although I suggest
you focus on the main exchange.

Why those?

We own the cables.
Shlomo Zahary owns the buildings.

Then forgive me,
but why not just ask him?

We don't want to raise suspicions.

For routine maintenance?

What I want you to do
is not routine.

Samir Altif.

Hm.

The Stein Foundation is paying
my wages.

That's why I came here, to get
away from this sort of bullshit.

And how do you think
Nessa Stein is going to react

when she finds out that even here -
even here! - we are covered in it?

Oh, I wish he would have
spoken to me first.

Or you.

Went straight in on the press.
Didn't give us a chance.

So, is he right?

There does appear to have been
a mistake.

From what I'm hearing,
that's all it is.

If we take a step back, it's just two
kids and an administrative error.

That's all it is.
It's not so unusual.

Except one's an Israeli
and the other's an Arab.

Exactly. That's what lit it up.
It doesn't mean
it's really the cause.

So, are there other examples?
I don't know. Not yet. But...

We've got to recognise that thousands
of these exams are taken every year.

There are bound to be
a few...discrepancies, you know.

It's a mathematical certainty.

He does appear to have jumped
the gun.

Why would he do that?
He's been struggling with his job.

His graduates' grades
have been...consistently low.

So, you think he's looking for
an excuse? Yes, it's possible.

Although he could also
be telling the truth,

and that's why
his department's struggling.

Yes, but...but we don't know.

OK, for the moment,
we make no public comment.

None, Ephra. Clear?

Why do you feel you even
have to say that?

OK. Frances, I want you to go over
there and talk to him.

Find out why he went
straight to the press.

Yes, find out why
he didn't come to us.

'What I discovered, it
seems that the, er...Kidma Academy,

'funded by the Stein Foundation,

'is running a discriminatory
selection process

'against Israeli Arabs
and in favour...

'..of Israeli military veterans.

'And where's your evidence?

'Education is a meritocracy
by function.

'As soon as you use it as a tool

'for social engineering
on race grounds,

'you're simply creating
an apartheid system.'

Thank you.

How nice of you
to let me in the front door.

Is that some sort of vampire thing?

Ah, the dark arts.

Did you strike a deal with
the Israelis?

Which one? The secret one.

No, we don't carry secrets.
We can't afford them.

Maybe not now, but seven years ago.

What was the price on your sister,
to get her out of Gaza?

Nothing, because she wasn't there.

I know how important it is
to get a story straight.

But to save you having to
wash down your front door twice,

why don't you just tell me

whether this positive prejudice
for military veterans

is what it cost you to get her out?

A - that never happened,
and, B - if it had,

do you really think that knocking
around a few exam marks is all
they'd ask for?

So, what did they ask for?
They didn't.

I'm just saying if they did,
it wouldn't be for that.

You see, I think it's
all connected -

your sister's kidnapping, the
child's kidnapping, your academy.

I even think Samir Meshal's
suicide is in there somewhere.

You should set the Times crossword.
I hear there's a vacancy coming up.

You know what "clue"
is in Ancient Greek?

It's "thread".

That educational enough for you?

No, wait, I'll get a pen.

One thread to pull it all together.

And all I have to do is find it.

Does that include an overnight stay
on the Orient Express, Mr Poirot(?)

Wow, you're confident.

So, how it must have hurt to have
your sister steal your job...

..or was it simply because you
weren't up to it in the first place?

I'll use the door.

But just to let you know,
I can climb the walls.

(OK.)

So?

You were right.

We have a problem.

They never come alone.

Thank you.

What now?

So, you want to know about
switches and nodes
and shit like that

or you just want me
to keep it simple?

OK, so, ten years ago,
we start with phase one,

laying future-proofed fibre-optic
telecommunication cabling

throughout the West Bank.
It took three years to complete.

Now, any telecommunication
in the region,

it doesn't matter where it starts
from, even if it's a cellphone,

everything eventually enters
our fibre-optic system.

Now, the critical point
of our interest here is that,

except into Egypt, all traffic
on that system has to cross over

from the Palestinian territories
into Israel.

Now this is because, historically,
the main cable,
the Neptune Optical cable,

carries all the
international traffic

underneath the Mediterranean
from Israel to Italy,

and then into
the international grid.

Everything.

It's 95% of the traffic
going to Western Europe
and to the United States,

excluding satellite.

Then, eight years ago,

when the Israeli government opened
up competition,

your company, Z Com,
bought up a 30% stake

in the Israeli exchange network,

including the Last Point
main exchange

that carries the Palestinian
system onto the Neptune cable.

And to think I didn't even
graduate from high school.

And it's at this point...

that we found this.

What's that? You don't know?

I want to change a plug,
I call an electrician.

It's a form of sniffer.

Well, now I know.
What the fuck's a sniffer?

It's a wiretap, Mr Zahary,
a big one.

Capable of listening to
international calls that emanate
from the West Bank.

Oh, balls.

But we always knew
the Israelis might try to do that.

So we've had our cables
regularly swept.

Well, so did we.

So, how come no-one looked there?
I don't know.

Who put it there? Not me.

It's seven years old.

And you've been there
for eight years.

So? Mossad?

I don't know.

Shin Bet? I don't know.
You want to go through

the whole fucking list?
Because I still won't know.

Did you do this for my father?
Once in the Irgun...

I'm not a military man, Nessa.

But you could always smell a deal,
couldn't you?

You always knew how to do that.

I don't know anything.

This is the Middle East, Shlomo.
You've got to know it all.

But I didn't know this!

It's on your fucking...
It's on your fucking site!

But I didn't put it there!
You asked me to trust you!

And you should! You should!

Not this time.
For Christ's sakes, Nessa, come on.

Hello?

Bye-bye.

Open this fucking gate!

Nessa Stein's leaving her house...

alone.

Ssh!
