The Palestinian Authority

wants a cease fire

now that the Americans are here.

Hamas wants to 'encourage' al-Aqsa

militants to carry out attacks,

to make the Palestinian Authority

look bad.

Hamas is sending Ibrahim

money, this coming Thursday.

Their contact is a grocer

at the vegetable market.

Raci's asset is going to

transfer the money to Ibrahim.

Something's changed.

My asset won't be in Bethlehem

Thursday. He went to Hebron.

Hebron? Just like that,

he went to Hebron?

He doesn't want his father

to know he's injured.

I pressed him hard.

Did you use his lies against him?

I tried everything.

The fact that Ibrahim uses

'Esau' for deliveries

means he's hiding the money from

the other al-Aqsa militants.

With 'Esau' gone, Ibrahim might

come out for the money himself.

We can wait in the market,

ambush him there.

First, he might not come.

Second, it would become a

complicated ground operation,

with the risk of many casualties.

If Raci gets 'Esau'

to lead us to Ibrahim

it will be a clean hit

from the air.

We can wait a week.

I don't want to wait a week.

You're out of your mind.

- You sent him to Hebron.

- Don't be ridiculous.

Do you think I'm stupid?

- I swear, Levi...

- Think I'm fukin' stupid?!

You've gone too far this time.

Give me another black pigeon.

- That one?

- It's not black.

- You come and get it.

- What am I, your b*tch?

Come meet me at the usual place.

I'm in Hebron.

What are you doing in Hebron?

I came to visit Aunt Intisar.

Fuk! Why did you go to Hebron?!

Don't be angry,

you didn't say youd need me.

Who was that, your brother?

otherfuker.!

Which taxi goes to Bethlehem?

No taxis to Bethlehem.

Checkpoints closed.

What do you want?

What is it?

Sanfur...

I'll come back and get it for you.

What?

What's with you, idiot?

I'll be back tomorrow.

Maybe even tonight...

Hold on... Pull over...

Why are you going to Bethlehem?

I have a date with your mom.

I'm taking her for sushi

- in the refugee camp...

- What?! Get out of the car!

Enough, Daniel.

Go.

Yes.

Ibrahim al-asri isn't coming,

I can't stay here.

People are looking at me!

Nobody's looking at you.

Sit down and wait.

No, I'm going.

People will recognize me.

I'm not kidding,

I'll cancel all your...

You know what?

Wait a second.

I'll replace you.

I need a favor.

Go to the marketplace.

I cant. I'm at home,

I have guests.

Don't lie.

Get your ass over there.

Stand at the corner

of Shohada street,

next to the blue barrel.

Wait there. Tell me when

Ibrahim al-asri enters the market.

- I don't know what he looks like.

- Yes you do!

He's on the news every day.

Think he'll come?

He'll come.

He has to...
