Eva Geller : [conducting interrogation] It's always an idea that's just out of reach. And people just need to trust in you and follow you. You know, my job .. I, I meet people like you all the time. People who think they have the answer, if only the world would listen to them and do as they say. They become so committed to an idea, they distort themselves. They become the embodiment of that ideal and it makes them feel special. For a while.
Eva Geller : But sooner or later, all of these people, deep down, they all want it to stop. They miss being human. But they feel they have no choice but to continue what they started, isolating themselves cutting off from friends and family, and getting further and further away from what they know till there's no choice but to go over the cliff. And that's what makes people like you dangerous. To everyone, including yourself. My job. My job is to catch you before that cliff.
Al-Masih : Catchers in the rye.
Eva Geller : What was that?
Al-Masih : We're both catchers in the rye you and me. Trying to stop the children from falling. You are very devoted to your job.
Eva Geller : Why do you say that?
Al-Masih : It's Sunday. You are a woman who has fought hard for everything she has. Fought hard to be recognized, to be the best to stand out to be better than the men around her.
Eva Geller : That's every working woman.
Al-Masih : But you're prepared to go the extra mile. Ignore your personal problems, and drag yourself here on a Sunday. It's what you worship.
Eva Geller : Worship?
Al-Masih : Mm. Everybody worships. The only choice is what we worship. Some people kneel to money. Some to power, to intellect. And you? You are an acolyte of the CIA. And you have sacrificed everything for an idea. And the more you've pursued that idea, the more isolated you've become. But at night, you lay in bed and wonder if it was worth everything you gave up. God hears the tears that you won't cry.
Eva Geller : You don't know anything about me.
Al-Masih : I know you're in pain. It will not last.
Eva Geller : I'm just fine, thank you.
Al-Masih : You will be, after it passes. I can make it pass.
