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.

(PHONE BUZZES)

(SPEAKING IN ARABIC)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

(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.
