Matthew 27, Mark 15,|Luke 23. Yes.
-So?|-That's until you get to the clay wall.
Why do you think the wall|was put up in the first place?
To hide something|much more valuable...
than a coin.
That is oxidized iron.
I think they used smaller spikes|than usual...
because although iron rusts...
it usually survives|as long as bone in these conditions.
You'll notice here...
that these bones aren't broken.
Now, the Romans...
usually break the bones|of the legs...
to speed death.
These things came to pass|that scripture might be fulfilled.
Not a bone of His shall be broken,|or something like that.
Exactly like that.
And you know it.
From this you determined those were|the bones of Jesus Christ, right?
I didn't say that.
What I said was the discovery|at this point conforms to the Gospels.
I knew this wouldn't work.
It'll work. It'll work if you--
if we stop playing games|with each other.
Mr. Hamid, I believe you have|a visitor.
And you didn't think|to call your friends in Gaza.
I was going to, but--
In the name of Allah,|I'm a Palestinian.
If what's in the tomb causes the Vatican|to side with Israel on Jerusalem...
the other Catholic nations|will follow.
And that, my friend,|will deprive us from our birthright.
Listen, I--
I swear you will hear from me|very soon. Very soon.
I want all correspondence|with the Jesuit courier in code.
Well, if you insist.
But it won't do you any good.
Any hacker with half-an-hour's|experience and a modem could crack it.
Such as?
Arabs, Israelis, CNN, MTV.
It's like one big|party line out here.
Who's the biggest party guest?
A week ago, we heard the PFJ were|listening in, but why I don't know.
-The PFJ?|-The Popular Front of Jerusalem.
They're some ex-intifadas out of Gaza,|run by some bloke called Abu Yusef.
Postcards to God.
Do you want to send Him a note,|tell Him you arrived safely?
Or for luck?
Maybe later,|if I really need it.
Let's go.
Peace at any price is not peace.
It's a sacrilege.
Mr. Cohen.
Moshe, please.
Why did you ask Fr. Lavelle|to look at the body?
He was an obvious choice.
He's an expert in the field.
He's a Catholic priest,|and he was here.
And you knew bringing him in|would involve the Vatican...
even though there were|many other choices.
I thought the Church|might appreciate the gesture.
But it seems you look|a gift horse in the mouth.
Look?
I didn't come here|just to look.
You are the most formidable|Christian sect.
To have the state of Israel involved|in something so potentially dangerous...
to the Christian faith|could have serious...
repercussions for us.
