I'm glad we're having this time together, Aviram.
We'll have plenty of time together, you and me.

I'm sorry.
Where's Golshiri? - Eva.
- We need to talk.
The car that took Golshiri, we traced it to a government airfield in Delaware.

This goes to air in 20 minutes.
You need to cut your VO.
It's written, I just need to read it.

Diplomatic jet.

It's all connected.
It all goes back to him.
We wait till he lands.
And then what? You create an opportunity.
I'll scramble a team.
The fuck you're looking at? We never finished our conversation about Megiddo.
Don't you want to get it off your chest? Secrets are so heavy to carry around.
God knows your secrets.
And loves you anyway.
Sin.
Sin is just a failure to choose goodness, that's all.
Goodness is a choice.
Every moment is an opportunity to make a choice.
The choice to think a good thought, to think a bad thought, to act on it, to let it pass.
That is God's great blessing.
That in every moment, we can create ourselves again.
Aviram.
Make a choice.
Isn't that convenient, huh? We can all be forgiven and start fresh again.
People have been hating and killing since we came down from the trees.
If there's a God, he should be ashamed of himself.
"Made in the likeness of Him.
" [IN HEBREW.]
You're unredeemable.
That's what you think.
So you project your shame onto God.
shut the fuck up now? [IN HEBREW.]
Our sins have a way of punishing us when we ignore them.
That boy.
He'll be the last thing you see before you die.
[MIRIAM.]
This better be worth it.
You'll need to be nicer than that.
Can we cut the bullshit? It's late and I've got a story to update.
This is gonna blow your story off the front page.
I don't work in print, but I'll forgive the analogy.
Oh, you're gonna be thanking me, not just forgiving me.
His real name is Payam Golshiri.
Whose real name? Your messiah.
There's enough in there to get you started.
You got a busy night ahead of you.
Why are you doing this? I owe you.
What's the real reason? Run with it.
You'll see.
[BEEPING.]
[PA.]
Calling the flight deck.
Emergency.
Fasten your seat belts.
[ALARMS WAILING.]
[GASPING.]
[RASHID.]
Please! Please.
Please.
I'm sorry.
What are you sorry for? For everything.
[AVIRAM.]
Everything? You're sorry for everything? You're sorry for all the wrong in the world? No no.
I'm sorry for what I I don't care what you did.
I care who you are.
[RASHID.]
I told you my name.
[AVIRAM.]
Yes.
I know your father.
He's had a lot to do with my life.
He shaped me.
He gave me my conviction.
He's had more influence over me than any other person.
He's killed many people and boasted about it.
Including my mother.
[RASHID GASPING.]
[AVIRAM.]
You weren't even born but you've inherited his sin.
[RASHID.]
No, no! Please! I'm only 14! My mother doesn't even know where I am.
Please! Her heart will be broken! I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger! [RASHID CONTINUES PRAYING.]
[IN HEBREW.]
I'm sorry.
There's four passengers, one's Golshiri, so we'll at least need a team of six.
- We've lost it.
- What? The plane.
What do you mean? Just dropped off.
No signal.
It was right there and then it disappeared.
What are you saying? They're flying under radar? That type of plane can't fly at those low altitudes.
So what, then? [PHONE BUZZING.]
Yes.
Thank you.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
[SIGHS.]
Sweetie? Rae.
Raeah.
Honey? Raeah.
Jonah! [MIRIAM.]
It's being called the hoax of the century, or maybe the millennium.
The man they call the Messiah is mortal.
He was born Payam Golshiri, an Iranian national, orphaned at an early age during the Kuwaiti crisis of 1991.
He and his brother Adar were raised by their uncle, a street performer, who apparently taught them the art of illusion.
It seems Golshiri also has suffered from psychological issues throughout his life, being committed to a mental institution during his 20s.
This startling news came to light this morning from a document leaked by undisclosed sources in the White House that reveals Golshiri has been under investigation by the CIA for the past several weeks.
The exhaustive report also mentions concerning links to radical thinker and dissident Oscar Wallace, an outspoken opponent of capitalism and proponent of civil disobedience, who was apparently Golshiri's mentor during the fall semester of 2008.
As of this morning, Golshiri cannot be located.
He was residing in a Washington DC luxury hotel until last evening, when he went missing after failing to appear at a broadcast service with millionaire televangelist Edm [REBECCA.]
Dad.
- Reverend, please, just one question! - [CLAMORING.]
- Excuse me.
- Reverend! - [FELIX.]
Excuse me, please.
- [WOMAN.]
Reverend! - Excuse me.
- [MAN.]
Will you go back to Texas? - Excuse me.
- Tell us something! That's his real name.
[CHIMING.]
Daddy.
Yes.
We saw.
Course not.
[WOMAN, IN ARABIC.]
His brother, Adar Golshiri, confirmed the report speaking to the press in Tehran this morning [ADAR, IN FARSI.]
You know I'm doing a trick but you're still amazed when I do it.
At worst, you're entertained you want to figure out how I did it.
But the best magicians make you a part of it, they bring you in.
- [BLEEP.]
- Baby? Rae? [SOBS.]
Baby? [SOBBING.]
- What do you want? - An explanation.
Here's my explanation.
I outrank you.
You don't have any jurisdiction over me.
Really? I'll bury you in a second.
You just burned a whole operation.
And I saved my president.
That information was classified.
Look.
I know you.
I know who you are.
I know who your father was.
That holds no currency here anymore.
- He has nothing to do with this.
- That's right.
Your job is to give the administration information.
Our job is to do stuff with it.
You brought down a diplomatic plane.
That's a very serious accusation.
I'd watch what I was saying, if I were you.
[DOOR OPENS.]
Go home, Eva.
[WHOOSHING.]
[GROANS.]
[MALIK, IN ARABIC.]
Here drink.
How did he do it? Who are you? Malik.
You were dead.
What? You were dead.
He raised you.
The man he is magic.
He put his hand on your heart and you began to breathe.
What are you talking about? You and that other man there [COUGHING.]
You were both dead.
Your skin was gray.
You had flies crawling in your mouth and then he touched you and you came back.
