REUVEN
I visited the institute. I found a man there named Yechiel. This Yechiel was present in all the initial stages of the establishment of the institute. He was a student of Jewish history and thought when they recruited him. When the new government was established, the whole crew was fired from their jobs. Yechiel stays there alone, voluntarily, to guard The properties of the institute and the secrets of the mountain. This is a sacrifice on his part, to know that you are alone in an area of about two hundred square kilometers, apart from the Bedouins who seek looting and destruction of property.
without police… without army… alone, completely alone.
ONE OF THE RABBIS
Tell the whole story, without hesitations.

At first he showed me the mountain, covered in scaled armor; then how they cut the entrance to the mountain In this process, one of the people was hurt because he didn’t have a mask in front of him. This is a mountain whose air is poisonous. then he showed me how they put a robot into the mountain. there they discovered that in the giant inner space inside the mountain are scattered huge bookcases with millions of cups.
Reuven stops his story for a moment or two.

From here we went to the institute’s laboratory. they decipher what is there in every cup. (Silent. hesitates and then continues bravely). In each cup there is a film of a person who quickly sees all the significant events in his life in the last minute of his life.
