Rabin, the Last Day Page #3

---

to tell me what to do.

Then he said, Okay, fine.

He gave in

and told me to stay there...

and that's where I shot the footage.

How did you feel as you filmed it?

After I spoke to the policeman...

I started picturing

some very ugly scenarios.

Not only because the policeman

made me think bad thoughts.

It was also the atmosphere,

the disorder,

the intense darkness.

And also because

of what the policeman told me.

But mainly because of the atmosphere.

It made me think

that bad things could happen.

It had a very powerful,

emotional impact on me...

and I realized that I might

or I was liable

or -

to film in a totally different way.

In what way?

I looked through the viewfinder,

wondering if someone like that

was out there, God forbid...

and then I focused on Yigal Amir.

I looked to see

if he seemed suspicious.

In the end I decided:

He isn't.

He must be a plainclothes cop.

A plainclothes cop just spoke to me

so he must be one too.

I want to tell you,

with all due respect

for your impartial attitude,

it's time to take off

the velvet gloves.

A bunch of incompetents is leading us on

and the truth is here

in black and white.

Greetings from Tel-Ad Studios

in Jerusalem.

We have an announcement.

About half an hour ago,

after the solidarity rally

in Tel Aviv's Kings Square,

there was an attempt

on Yitzhak Rabin's life.

Three gunshots were fired at him

and the gunman was captured.

The prime minister was taken

to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.

His condition is unknown at this point.

Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin

was wounded tonight

by two or three gunshots

at the end of the peace rally

in Tel Aviv's Kings Square.

No one knows what

the prime minister's true condition is

but since he's

on the operating table...

we can assume

that Yitzhak Rabin is badly wounded.

There were gunshots in Kings Square

a few moments ago.

So far we know

that the prime minister was shot

and evacuated to Ichilov Hospital.

...his right foot into the car

and suddenly gunshots rang out.

- Was he hit?

- No. I saw that Rabin wasn't hit.

The prime minister was shot

in his upper torso but not his head.

His condition is critical but stable,

right, Smadar?

The good news is that

the prime minister's condition

is critical but stable.

I'm entering the station

with the suspect.

Hurry up. Bring him in.

Move it.

Who's running the registry?

- Who's running the registry?

- I'm here.

Stand up straight.

- Can I have this?

- Take it.

- What's your last name?

- Amir.

What?

Amir?

- First name?

- Yigal.

ID number?

023 789 42.

Where's the serial number of his gun?

His gun -

- Don't you know where it is?
