Helena changes direction from the corridor leading to the hospital lobby's entrance. Through the semi-transparent door, the multitude of reporters and photographers is already visible. Helena "cuts" towards her room and ushers the prophet inside. Mati enters with him. At the entrance, Helena says to him.
HELENA
Yoram, wait in my room until the evening. It's just a few more hours. I'll take care of everything you need. Meanwhile, I'll deal with the press.
Helena leaves the room.
INT. DAY. IN THE HOSPITAL LOBBY
Helena approaches the crowded group of journalists.
HELENA
The prophet won't leave today. You can all go home.
ANONYMOUS JOURNALIST (shouting)
We'll stay here as long as necessary!
One of the journalists raises his voice above the others.
