Oh, and this arrived for you|about an hour ago from Tel Aviv.
Looks important.
You're here for the pope.
Actually, I am the pope's nephew.
-It's Jerusalem, isn't it?|-May I see my room now, please?
Pope's nephew, eh?|Saint Peter's suite.
This way.
-What is your name, Father?|-Winstead.
Is Fr. Lavelle in his room?
Yes, he is. It's up the stairs|to the left and across the bridge.
Ignoring warnings of armed intervention|by the Israelis...
the Palestinian National Authority|announced today...
that it will declare East Jerusalem|the capital of Palestine.
Raising the specter|of a biblical Armageddon...
Christian fundamentalists|predict the destruction...
of their most holy shrines...
if the Via Dolorosa should come|under Palestinian rule.
This is John Jays reporting|live from Jerusalem.
I don't have any money.
I don't want your money.
Just drive.
Fr. Lavelle?
Father, I am Matt Gutierrez.
Oh, so you are the chosen one.
Yes, the chosen one.
Does that disturb you in some way?
In the hierarchy of my pain, Father,|that is hardly a novitiate.
I have a few questions,|if you don't mind.
All right.
Let me see what we have in here.
So, Father, when you entered|the tomb...
you believed in the resurrection.
When you left,|you did not.
What was it, ten minutes, half an hour?|How long were you there?
No, no, no, it was not that I--|I didn't believe.
It was that I realized|it was possible that I didn't believe.
The oxidation on the wrists|and the legs.
A crucifixion in a rich man's tomb.
I know, but Romans gave out crucifixions|like parking tickets.
Yeah, but never rich people.|Only criminals or political enemies.
"There came a rich man|from Arimathea named Joseph.
And Joseph took the body of Jesus|and laid it in his own new tomb...
hewn out of the rock, and rolled|a stone against the entrance."
And that is a picture|of a rich man's tomb.
But...
so then I understand|no firm date has been established...
for the body or the tomb,|correct?
You're forgetting the coin she found.|It was a Pilatus.
Father, isn't it possible the body|in the tomb is that of a Christian?
I mean, a follower of \Christ|and not Christ himself?
Yes, it is possible. In that case,|it would have been buried...
with some Christian symbol|to illustrate the fact.
If|ot in the open,|then hidden...
on the inside of the ossuary or at the|bottom of a jar you would have found...
three concentric circles...
or an antique cross...
or a fish.
So...
it was Dr. Golban who asked you|to come to the tomb, correct?
It was Moshe Cohen|from the prime minister's office.
Did he call others?|Did he call Armenians...?
Orthodox, Protestants?
Why did he call you, Father?
