His bank account will be blocked.

A joint account?

Even if they're separated?

My client deposits her salary

into their account.

They're still paying off

their mortgage.

How many years are left?

11 years.

You want us

to threaten him with jail?!

Precisely, Your Honor.

He wants reconciliation,

it's she who refuses, not him.

Bring him here,

and we'll try to appeal to him.

He won't appear,

the last four hearings are proof!

What's going to change?

Your Honor...

Just a minute.

Let me hear her now.

Your Honors,

I upheld my side of the bargain.

Make him appear.

You, as promised.

Haim, bring the lady some water.

I don't want water.

You promised, Your Honor.

Let's not mince words.

I'll do all I can to make him appear.

THREE MONTHS LATER - A YEAR

AND A HALF SINCE THE TRIAL BEGAN

Welcome, sir.

Thank you, Your Honor.

We've waited for you a long time.

Your refusal to appear

shows contempt for this court

and wastes our precious time.

Fulfill this court's orders

or we will harden our hearts.

Understood?

Yes, Your Honor.

Have you any regrets?

Yes, Your Honor.

What have you come to tell us?

Your wife fulfilled your every wish,

yet your marriage

is not working.

Have you made up your mind?

Will you grant this woman

a divorce?

No, Your Honor.

- You won't grant her a divorce?

- No.

Then why are you here?

To say no?

Yes.

Do you realize

that if you continue to refuse

I can force you

to grant her a divorce?

On what grounds, Your Honor?

On what grounds?

Yes, on what grounds?

After driving your wife crazy,

you want to drive us crazy too?

Your Honor,

we can't live together.

We aren't compatible.

Be quiet!

No court in the world can oblige

this woman to live with that man.

Do you hear?

She doesn't want to live with you.

It's my punishment.

It's in His hands.

If you see her as your punishment,

grant her a divorce

and free yourself, too.

No, Your Honor.

I don't want to live with him.

I don't want to.

Listen, in 15 days you will

bring witnesses before me.

If they don't provide me with cause,

you will be sent home

to work it out!

I need grounds!

- I can't talk right now.

- Goodbye, Your Honors.

TWO WEEKS LATER:

Hello, Carmel.

Hello.

It's been a long time.

- Is Elisha here?

- Yes, he's in the restroom.

If we keep this gracious,

it'll be all right.

How's your mother?

She's fine, thanks.

Your father was...

What a prodigy.

He always knew...

Knew what?

He knew a lot...

A lot of things.

Yes.

He knew many things.

Amsalem?

The husband.

Leave it to me, don't talk.

Didn't we say

that you'd bring witnesses?

Your Honor.

We couldn't gather them,

people work, they're busy.
