..do a little business,...

..fornicate with his oversexed wife,|but it's not true.

- (laughter)|- He wants to be hated.

He longs for our scorn.

He clings to it,|as if it were the very core of his being.

lf Hitler had not existed,|the Jews would've invented him.

For without such hatred, the so-called|Chosen People would vanish from the earth.

And this reveals a terrible truth|and the crux of our problem as Nazis.

The worse the Jews are treated,|the stronger they become.

Egyptian slavery made them a nation.

The pogroms hardened them.|Auschwitz gave birth to the state of lsrael.

Suffering, it seems,|is the very crucible of their genius.

So, if the Jews are,|as one of their own has said,...

..a people who will not take ''yes''|for an answer,...

..let us say ''yes'' to them.

They thrive on opposition.|Let us cease to oppose them.

The only way to annihilate|this insidious people once and for all...

..is to open our arms,|invite them into our homes...

..and embrace them.

Only then will they vanish into assimilation,|normality and love.

But we cannot pretend.|The Jew is nothing if not clever.

He will see through hypocrisy|and condescension.

To destroy him, we must love him sincerely.

(mumbling)

Yes?

lf the Jews are strengthened by hate,|wouldn't this...

..destruction that you speak of,|whether it's by love or any other means,...

..wouldn't that make them more powerful|than they are already?

Yes.

lnfinitely more.

They would become as God.

(mumbling)

lt's the Jews' destiny to be annihilated|so they can be deified.

Jesus understood this perfectly.

And look what was accomplished there|with the death of just one enlightened Jew.

lmagine what would happen|if we killed them all.

So, let us say together,...|= Sh'ma, IsraeI,... =

Are you out of your mind?!

Just making a point.

What point?

l do not want you working for us any more.

(Curtis) Lina.

Lina, come here!

According to the poIice,|he had just Ieft the restaurant...

..and was waIking back to his office,...

..when the gunman stepped out here,|fired seven times at point-bIank range,...

..and fIed on foot.

Paramedics arrived within 90 seconds,...

..but Mr Manzetti was decIared dead|at the scene.

The assaiIant is described as a white maIe|in his twenties. IIio Manzetti...

- D'you think that l...?|- Danny,...

..we don't wanna know.

Hey, Mr Manzetti.

Hey, Mr Manzetti.

Did you kill llio Manzetti?

(gunshot)

Lina Moebius says the whole thing was your|idea. She says you proposed it at her house.

Oh, Jesus, Danny!

- l can't help what l think.|- You don't think that!

l don't.

Tell me you think it.

Are you glad Manzetti's dead? You really|wanna kill Jews? You wanna kill me?

What if, all along, you were actually|infiltrating the Nazis to expose them?

- l wasn't.|- The Manzetti thing was to convince them...

- l can't say that.|- lf you knew they'd actually shoot the guy...

lt's not true!

Think about your father. Linda.

You don't care about the truth at all, do you?

Danny, l'm trying to save you.

F***ing...

..kike!

l need you to get Lina Moebius on tape,...

..telling you to do something,...

..something violent.

l don't care about the truth.

l care about you.

Kol Nidrei's at 6.30. l gotta meet Stuart.|Come there if you need me.

What is this?

lt's erev Yom Kippur.|We'll have dinner, then go to shul.

Atone for our sins.

Come on. We can be like Eichmann.

He studied Torah. He hated Jews.

ls it like Eichmann? You're just goofing?

l don't know. l just wanted to try it.

Why?

Because God commands it.

Thought God didn't exist.

Well, He commands it,|whether He exists or not.

Look, we can fight Him and be crushed,|or we can submit.

- And be crushed.|- But...

What if... What if submitting,|being crushed,...

..being nothing, not mattering,...

..what if that's the best feeling we can have?

Look, just light the candles with me.

Then we can eat. You have to eat.

You eat first, then you light the candles,...

..cos once you light the candles, it's...

..Yom Kippur and you're fasting.

l gotta go.

Miriam, pick up the phone.

The holiday hasn't even started yet.|Pick up... Hello?

Stuart's davening Ne'ilah tomorrow, right?

Cos he always does.

Tell him l'm doing it instead.

l'm davening.

Tell him if he gives me any trouble,|l'll beat the sh*t out of him right there.

- Did you kiII Manzetti?|- No, I didn't.

Drake did.

ls this 60th? Turn here. Turn right.

- Wh... Why? Why?|- Just do it.

Not so fast. Would you relax?

(whispers) Right in here.

Uh...

- What time do you want it to go off?|- Shh.

(whispers) 7.30 tomorrow night.

OK, that's, uh,...

- 1 8.30 minus...|- Shh, shh.

(high-pitched beep)

Hand me the tape.

Here.

lt's all reinforced in here.

lt's not gonna blow up the way we want.

Look, l know this guy.|l can get some dynamite...

No. lt has to be tomorrow.

lt's gonna be fine,|as long as it blows up the pulpit.

- lt's not gonna be fine...|- Do it.

IIio Manzetti...

..was one of the most respected|and infIuentiaI men in New York.

As an investment banker, dipIomat,...

..advisor to presidents and mayors,...

..he heIped shape pubIic and private poIicy|for more than three decades.

He'II be missed.

This is MichaeI Porter for New York One.

When he first came to your house,|you had no idea that he was Jewish?

None whatsoever.

But I can't say I'm terribIy surprised.

What do you mean?

I think anti-Semitism today is IargeIy|a Jewish phenomenon. Don't you agree?

In the Third Reich,... weren't a number|of high-ranking Nazis of Jewish origin?

Yom Tov.

(woman chants Torah)

(woman) ..cast lots, to find out on account of|whom misfortune has come upon us.

They cast lots...

..and the lot fell on Jonah.

They said to him...

''Tell us, you, who has brought this|misfortune, where have you come from?''

''What is your country|and of what people are you?''

''l am a Hebrew,'' he replied.|''l worship the Lord, the God of heaven,...

..who made both sea and land.''

(whispers) Hey.

What are you doing here?

Miriam called, looking for you.

- She told me about the service.|- Shh. Would you be quiet?

- Well, you gotta go, OK?|- What?

Look, l understand you want to daven,|but...

Stuart, shut up!

Danny, please.

- Listen, you have to leave.|- Young man, please!

Shh!

Hey.

(whispers) Please take this outside.

- You're leaving. That's it.|- l'm trying to read this, OK?

''What must we give to you|to make the sea calm around us?''...

..for the sea was growing|more and more stormy.

He answered,...

..''Heave me overboard|and the sea will calm down,...

..for l know this terrible storm|came upon you on my account.''

(kicks)

(gunshot)

Danny, they are expecting me to daven.|They don't want someone they don't know.

Stuart, l gotta do this.
