THE LIEUTENANT
I am sorry to say that today we are evacuating. soon they are coming to take us. They finally remembered that we exist.
YECHIEL
I understand that the institute remains unguarded at all.
THE LIEUTENANT
You understand correctly. We will leave you a gun, a rifle, and plenty of ammunition for both weapons. The institute will be entirely vulnerable to the whims of the Bedouins. They will likely break in, steal from it, and destroy anything they consider unnecessary.
YECHIEL
This is probably the intention of the new government.
THE LIEUTENANT
You are left alone, without protections. think well before you do this. You also do not have a vehicle by which you can escape from here. You are taking a big risk.
YECHIEL
My job will be to protect the institute and not let the Bedouins destroy it. Nor let them enter the interior of the mountain.
The lieutenant hugs Yechiel.
THE LIEUTENANT
We left you all of our battle rations. There’s plenty of food. Fingers crossed for your success.
YECHIEL
Thanks. Thanks.
