The Attack Page #2

Synopsis: Dr. Amin Jaafari is an assimilated Arab surgeon who seems to have it all with a promising career with honors among the Israelis in Tel Aviv. That all changes after a devastating terrorist suicide bombing and his beloved wife, Siham, is found among the dead as the primary suspect. Although initially refusing to accept that as Shin Bet interrogates him, Amin comes to realize the allegations are true. Now, the ostracized Amin resolves to find out on his own why Siham had so strong a conviction that she kept secret from him. However, the answers prove hard to come by and the truths involved have a terrible pain of their own.

We have a body on our hands,

Dr. Jaafari,

and we've got to identify it.

I think it's Siham.

We need you to make

a positive identification.

Open it.

Amin!

Amin...

Amin.

Amin, can you hear me?

It's me.

Take this. It's Dormicum.

They said not to give you anything.

I had an awful nightmare.

Please drink this quickly.

Please.

Tell me I'm dreaming,

that it will be over soon.

Don't let them do this to you.

Be strong.

You are not alone,

and I will not leave you.

I will not leave you.

Moshe, no one knows him like I do.

Let me help you.

We have a search warrant,

Dr. Jaafari.

We're going to your house.

WW my house'?

Our investigations indicate

that your wife's injuries

are typical of those found

on suicide bombers.

What?

It wasn't a planted bomb, Amin.

It was a suicide attack.

Raveed, what's this?

What is this, Raveed?

The terrorist that blew herself up

in the restaurant was your wife.

Let's go.

This is insane.

Raveed, say something.

Raveed!

Was there no way of stopping her?

What?

You knew all about it, didn't you?

What are you talking about?

About your wife, Doctor.

About the crime she committed

yesterday afternoon.

It wasn't her.

It couldn't have been her.

Are you a practicing Muslim, Doctor?

No.

Did your wife observe Ramadan?

No.

Fake seculars.

The perfect facade.

You can cover your tracks

and work for the cause in hiding.

My wife is Christian.

A true convert!

She really had to prove herself,

didn't she?

You're an idiot.

What kind of charity

was she involved in?

None.

The perfect alibi.

But behind all the volunteer work,

a high-profit business is going on.

The clever ones make some dough,

the idiots get promised 72 virgins

in paradise.

What do women get in paradise?

I know nothing about those people.

But I do! It's my job!

She was friendly

with Al Aqsa Brigades, wasn't she?

For me, all these a**holes

are the same.

Al-Aqsa, Hamas, Islamic Jihad...

all a bunch of fuckups ready to do

anything for a little publicity.

My wife had nothing to do

with those people.

She never met any of them,

never spoke to any of them.

- Do you know what's strange?

- This is a huge mistake!

Do you know what's strange?

All the relatives of those a**holes

say exactly the same thing

with the same stupefied look.

You're making a mistake.

Tell me something.

How was she yesterday morning

when you left for work?

She left two days ago

to visit her grandfather in Nazareth.

- So you haven't seen her for two days?

- No.

But you talked to her on the phone?

She forgot her mobile at home.

Why didn't you try her

at her grandfather's?

It was too late to call.

What's his name?
