Continuity mistake: In the scene where Avner shoots the first Palestinian, the dead man falls forward onto his groceries, but the next time the body is seen, he is lying on his back.
Continuity mistake: When Ephraim and Avner are walking along the boardwalk in sunny weather and Ephraim is proposing the "job offer", in the side shot they walk past two pedestrians, one of whom is leaning on the railing. In the next shot facing them, as they are still walking forward (now towards viewers), they are walking past the same couple again.
Continuity mistake: Near the end when Avner and Steve are attempting to assassinate Salameh, they shoot a man while he is standing easily 20 feet away from the pool, the next shot is of him falling in the pool.
Continuity mistake: When the terrorist is exiting to the balcony, there is the live shot for the viewing audience, and a shot from the television. However, for a moment, it appears that in the TV shot, the man has moved ahead of the live audience shot. Which is not possible. (00:04:51)
Continuity mistake: When a man is shot, and falls onto the bed, in one shot there's no blood on the bed, but in the very next shot there is.
Continuity mistake: In Paris, when they call Mahmoud's number the first time, the first digit dialed is a 4. The second time, they begin with a 7. (00:50:15)
Answer: Avner had refused Ephraim's request that he return to Israel and Mossad. When Avner invited Ephraim to dinner to break bread, it was a symbolic gesture to make peace between them. Ephraim's refusal indicates they will never reconcile their differences.
