What is all this? Am I supposed|to doubt them because they are Jews?
Father, I understand that|you are in great pain.
But you have to let me carry this now.|This is mine.
The Holy Father has given it to me.|I don't like it, but I have to take it.
But why are you asking me|all these questions?
Who said what, who did what,|who intended what! Don't you realize...
what it means if it is He|in that tomb...
the unrisen Christ?
The end of Christianity.
That someone like you, Father,|could believe that...
is exactly why the Church|wants to know who said what and why.
Come on. Believe me.
We want to know every speck|of dust in that tomb.
We don't wanna lose one soul because|of these things. I mean, not one!
And if we have lost you--
We don't wanna lose you, Father.
What will you do, Jesuit...
if you discover that|it is Christ in that tomb?
A man like all of us?
I will turn to God for the answer.
You know, I think|it's enough for today.
I am sorry I interrupted you.
One more thing.
For security reasons,|I think it would be better...
to move you someplace where|you can continue your work in private.
All right.
Do you know who I am?
Yes. You are Abu Yusef.
Let's have some tea and talk.
Please.
So, Mr. Hamid...
what can you tell me|about the excavation...
behind your store?
I was digging a basement...
when they found|an ancient tile floor.
And now, just waiting|to dig a basement.
All that over a floor?
I heard Dr. Golban, the archaeologist,|say something...
about the tiles being|from the 12th century.
Then why the Shin Beth|is so interested in it?
The secret police is interested|in my hardware store?
And the Vatican state.
The Vatican?
You will find out more.
How? I'm just a simple shopkeeper.
And I was just a simple teacher.
If it's important to you--
To you too.
To the fate of Jerusalem.
Nothing must prevent us|from making it our capital.
Do you think my--
Anything that brings Israelis|and Rome together worries me.
That's the reason I need you to be|my eyes and ears. Watch everything.
Who is going in,|who is coming out...
what they bring in,|what they take out.
You should contact me immediately.
Thanks.
They've only been told we're protecting|the body from religious extremists.
Do you want 'em to stay?|It's your call.
Let them go.
Now we have our first|major archaeological decision.
Who goes first,|Church or infidel?
Are you nervous?
Take one of these.
Right here is where we found|the Pilatus coin.
The coin.
It's a very convenient way|of dating a tomb, right?
Yes, but not the only one.
Now, notice something?
Well, it's empty.
Exactly.
They peered into the tomb,|and it was empty.
