the night that he disappeared.

So, um,

Anya was sleeping with David?

Well,

call it a sister's intuition.

Well, then you should talk

to her and to Beltran.

They're both in Jordan.

I'll let them know

that you're coming.

Thank you.

We're about to get

on the plane, coach this time.

Looking out

for the American taxpayer.

MOTHERS:

Good work, Jake.

She might have found

the mystery woman.

She's been a stroke of good

luck, hasn't she?

She got Du Plessis' attention.

Play it out with her.

Well, even if that puts

her in danger?

MOTHERS:
We're not keeping her

against her will.

Let's let her help us.

By taking advantage

of her grief.

MOTHERS:

Our job is to get the scroll.

Keep it out

of the crazies' hands.

Or else what? Armageddon?

MOTHERS:
Do you know

what's on my desk, Jake?

Two suicide bombings

this morning.

MOTHERS:
A new ISIS kidnapping

and a bunch of religious

lunatics looking for a scroll.

That's a fire we can put out.

Good to go.

[ENGINE WHIRRING]

[DIAL TONE RINGING]

BELTRAN:
This is Beltran Reyes,

leave me a message.

[ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS]

RACHEL:
Hi, Beltran,

this is Rachel Rozman.

Charles Du Plessis gave me

your number

and I was hoping

that I could talk to you

about my brother, David.

Um... I'll try reaching

out to Anya Slovin.

We'll be in touch.

It's that one.

BELTRAN:
Yes, yes,

I'm at her apartment right now.

She's right here.

Hello?

BELTRAN:
Yes, yes,

I saw two men leaving

the building as I entered.

Um, muscular build,

one of them had a hip problem.

Yeah, my name? Jack Bauer.

Okay, I'll give her a call.

Okay, when will you be here?

Is that Anya?

- Oh my God, she's dead.

- Yes, I'll be waiting for you.

Apartment 601.

Bye.

- Rachel Rozman?

- Yeah.

I'm Beltran Reyes, your brother

was my friend.

- I work for Du Plessis.

- Jake Alshadi, US State...

You shouldn't have brought

her here, Agent Alshadi.

- You're putting her in danger.

- Like I had a choice.

We need to get you two

out of here right now.

Come on, let's go.

The police will take care

of this.

- BELTRAN:
This way.

- [SIRENS APPROACHING]

- JAKE:
What happened back there?

- They found her, stubborn girl.

She should have just

left the country.

Why would they kill her?

Same reason they killed

your brother.

He had noble intentions

he wanted to take the scroll

to a museum in the US

and keep it safely there.

- Where's your car?

- We took a cab.

Not a good idea, drivers talk,

they'll follow you.

If we're lucky,

they don't know who you are yet.

- Who?

- Could be anyone. Him or him.

Paranoid much?

When your enemy is invisible

it's wise to be paranoid.

They know who I am, so let me

play decoy, yes?

You know

the King Abdullah Mosque?

- The blue top?

- Yeah.

There is an old church

across the street from it.

I'll meet you there with a car,

but perhaps buy something.

Just in case you've

been watched. See you in a bit.

JAKE:
Do I look like the whole

nine yards?

- RACHEL:
What?

- JAKE:
Ayatollah.

RACHEL:
No.

[CAR HORN HONKING]

- What is it?

- Jake,

are those guys following us?

Over my shoulder.

I think I just blew 40 Dinars

on this outfit.

Come on, in here.

[SPEAKING ARABIC]

JAKE:
I don't get it, it should

be right around here somewhere.

We... we've gone too far.

I thought you knew where

we were going.

- I do!

- We're lost?

You hear the call to prayer?

Yeah, it's coming

from over there.

Actually, it's bouncing off that

wall, it's that way.

What is it called again?

King Abdullah Mosque?

Is that with a "u"

or with an "a"?

Wait a minute, are you

GPS-ing this?

Yes.

This way!

[RACHEL GASPING]

- I'm... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

- Which way is the church?

- This way.

- Thank you.

Go, go!

Hurry up, get in!

- Rachel?

- LISBETH:
Please.

- Rachel?

- Please, get in!

Hang on a second.

JAKE:
Go, go, go, go.

[RACHEL SIGHING]

LISBETH:
We're good.

Who are you?

- I'm Lisbeth.

- Hi. Where's Beltran?

- Where are we going?

- Somewhere safe.

Funny, I don't feel safe.

Do you feel safe?

Are you aware that Jesus

was a Jew, Dr. Rozman?

Oh sh*t, here we go.

What's going on?

Jake?

In fact,

he's actually best understood

as a first-century

Jewish apocalypticist.

Oh, you won't be needing that.

Khaleel?

His, too.

Jesus believed the world would

come to an end in his lifetime.

We never had the pleasure

of meeting you nut jobs.

Now stop the car, I work

for the government.

And we work for a higher power.

Do you know what happened

to my brother?

The devil whispered in his ear.

Where'd he hide the scroll,

Rachel?

JAKE:
Hey!

Hey!

She doesn't know,

now stop the car!

Stop the car!

RACHEL:
No! No! Get off of him!

Jake! Jake!

- Jake!

- [JAKE GRUNTING]

RACHEL:
Jake!

Jake?

Jake!

Hey, hey, it's okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

- It's okay.

- Oh god.

He's not your friend.

He was using you.

Now, we... we are on the path

of righteousness.

Walk with us.

What happened to my brother?

He was punished,

because he was a thief.

By you?

We didn't kill him.

It was God's will

he didn't escape

the desert heat.

Go to hell.

No, no, no.

[MUFFLED SCREAMING]

Oh god.

Hello.

RACHEL:
What the hell.

Um...

[WHISPERS] Jake?

- Jake!

- Wha...

- Whoa, no, no, no.

- You okay?

- Yeah, never been better.

- Okay, good.

- Get in the car, Jake.

- Oh, come on...

- Way to go.

- Lisbeth?

- No, no, no, no, no!

- Lisbeth!

- Look at me, kid, look at me.

- RACHEL:
Hey, shh.

It's okay, it's okay.

Sing to the Lord a new song.

Praise his name.

Proclaim his salvation.

LISBETH:
Declare his glory among

the nations.

For great is the Lord

and he is to be feared

above all gods.

[LISBETH SIGHS]

There's still time

to save yourselves.

From eternal damnation

or from your crap?

Oh, Jake.

You really think we're

candidates for conversion

to your cause, hm?

- She's Jewish, I'm Muslim.

- God loves all people!

He gives every soul opportunity,

even if it's only one

in a million.

You are wasting your time, lady.

I'm on the Lord's time.

Rachel?

- Yes?

- Just imagine...

once the Lord has his number

of redeemed

the world's gonna come

to an end.

Oh.

And he's gonna raise up

all his chosen

in his divine rapture and we...

we can eat

from the Tree of Life.

I... I'd like that.

- Together.

- Yes.

And the scroll is the key.

So,

where'd your brother

hide the scroll?

I don't know.

Khaleel! Come here!

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

[SPEAKING ARABIC]

- [RACHEL SCREAMING]

- Jake!

He'll keep doing this

until your memory is jogged.

You know what, that's fine.

I don't even know this guy,

I met him three days ago.

- What?

- I don't care about him.

I don't care about him, either.

See.

Jake!

I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.

All the Earth.

Among the nations,

the Lord reigns.

Let the heavens rejoice...

and the earth be glad.

Let the sea roar and all

that is in it.

And let the field be joyful

and all that is in it.

Then, all the trees of the wood
