Well, quite frankly,|our only agenda...
was to dump this problem|in the Vatican's lap.
We've done that, so now|I'm just here to assist.
All right.
Dr. Golban's preliminary report...
the one I saw in Rome...
has that been published yet?
Stop it.
Stop the publication.
And if you don't have|the authority to stop it...
you tell me who does.
I have the authority.|I have the authority for that.
And much more.
I'm sure you do.
-Morning.|-I brought you one of these.
Wasn't sure if caffeine's a sin|on a Tuesday morning.
As long as there is no more|than three lumps, I am safe.
Thanks.
I hope you don't mind,|but I thought it best to...
postpone publishing your report|in the archaeological journals.
-You did what?|-I saw Moshe Cohen this morning...
and he agreed that--
You had a meeting with Cohen without me|and decided to censor my report?
Yes. I suggested it.
Could you forget|your ego for a while?
You think I filed those reports for|the thousands who fock to news stands...
to read the latest edition|of the Archaeological Review?
What if I woke up and decided it's not|a good idea for you to say Mass today?
-I stop you.|-Listen to me.
Making your speculations public--|and that's all you have, speculations--
is not gonna help the investigation.
-Maybe it does.|-Really?
Maybe it threatens me in the same way|this archaeological find...
is threatening your religion.
I am not threatened. I am just concerned|about knee-jerk reactions.
-And I think you should be too.|-It's your reaction.
It's the Vatican meddling in places...
where religion has no place|that's concerning me.
Bullshit.
This is more about religion|than anything else and you know it.
Especially here in Jerusalem.
You're suggesting we throw science,|religion and politics into a mess.
A mess of unpredictable consequences.
I don't like to work like that.
Bullshit is the language|of the new Ecumenical Church, is it?
The coffee's great.|Are you enjoying the show?
It's just your subtle style of|Jesuitical debate. It's very impressive.
Have fun.
You're taking this personally.
You're bloody right|I'm taking it personally.
I apologize for that.
I don't apologize|for delaying the publication.
All you had to do was ask.
Would you have agreed?
Now we'll never know,|will we?
We're taking a break.|They're inside.
What is next?
Well, I have to dust off|every single one of these bones...
polyvinyl them|and then we can move them.
All right.
There is a body in the tomb,|and old bones.
The man is a Catholic priest|from America.
No, not the same one|that was here before.
I will, as soon as I know|something new.
