LYDIA
will have to go to Reuven at the Ministry of the Interior in Jerusalem if you want to get a job here.
AKIVA
That’s all well and good, but I need you to agree to hire me first and talk about this with Reuven…
LYDIA
Don’t worry, we have a direct connection.
Lydia approaches Akiva, blocking Akiva’s path into the institute. Akiva understands Lydia’s step. He stands by the window next to the elevator doors, looking out at the view. After a few seconds, he turns toward the elevator and presses the elevator button. The elevator immediately opens for him.
AKIVA
Goodbye Lydia.
LYDIA
Hello. Goodbye.
Akiva disappears into the elevator that takes him down. Lydia approaches the security screens and sees Akiva exiting the building toward his car. A minute later the car disappears into the bright morning light of the desert. Lydia dials the phone.
LYDIA
Reuven?
