AVNER
I think anyone is capable of
anything.
EPKI?AIM
I
think you're losing your mind.
AVNER
Did I commit murder?
They stop walking.
Ephraim looks
out over the East River.
AVNER
I
want you to give me proof that
every man we killed had a hand in
Munich.
EPHRAIM
I don't discuss such things with
people who don't exist. You want
to discuss, come back to existence.
You want your daughter to grow up
in exile?
AVNER
I want evidence.
EPHRAIM
Professor Hamshari with the
beautiful wife and child? He was
implicated in a failed
assassination attempt on Ben
Gurion, he was recruiting for
Fatah
France, enlisting sympathetic non-
Arab fanatics eager to destroy the
international Zionist conspiracy.
You stopped him.
AVNER
We should have tried to bring him
to Israel.
EPHRAIM
And Zwaiter, your harmless little
writer in Rome? He was behind the
bomb on El
A1 flight
76
in
1968,
he
worked on another bomb last August.
I
can go with this.
AVNER
According
to
evidence no one
has

AVNER (cont'd)
If
they committed crimes we should
have arrested them, like Eichmann.
EPHRAIM
~f
these guys live, Israelis die.
Whatever doubts you have, Avner,
you know this is true.
We are telling them: if you kill us
you will never be safe. We'll find
you.
(beat
)
you did well, but you're unhappy.
AVNER
I
killed seven men.
EPHRAIM
Not salameh.
AVNER
Fuck you.
EPHRAIM
We'll get him, of course. You think
you were the only team? It's a big
operation. You were only a part.
Does that assuage your guilt?
AVNER
I don't even know anymore what
I
want from you. Did we accomplish
anything at all? Every man we
killed has been replaced by worse.
EPHRAIM
Why cut my fingernails they'll grow
back.
AVNER
Did we kill them to destroy the
terrorist leadership or the
Palestinian leadership? Tell me
what we've done.
EPHRAIM
You killed them for the sake of a
country you now choose to abandon.
The country your mother and father
built. That you were born into.
You killed them for Munich, For
the future. For peace.
If
you
killed them.
If
I
know you.
if
we have met before, which we have
not.

EPHRAIM (cont'd)
If
you signed
a
paper, which you
have, saying you have no connection
with us, with Israel, or any
connection with anyone anywhere,
anywhere on earth, Avner Kauffman,
and you have no context.
No wonder you're unhappy.
I'm
unhappy just looking at you.
AVNER
There's no peace at the end of
this.
Whatever you believe, you know
that's true.
EPHRAIM
Here's what I know:
Your father's sick. Your mother
will be alone. You're a sabra,
your wife and daughter are sabras.
What I came to say is this. Come
home.
Silence.
AVNER
NO.
Ephraim looks down, then nods.
AVNER
Come to my house for dinner
tonight.
A
beat. Ephraim doesn't respond.
AVNER
(CONT'D)
Come on. You're a Jew. You're a
stranger. It's written someplace
or other, I'm supposed to ask you
to break bread.
Break bread with
me
Ephraim.
Ephraim shakes his head, sad.
EPHRAIM
NO.
Ephraim walks away. Avner watches him go
