The Attack Page #3

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.

Mounir Sheddad.

Mounir Sheddad.

Did you drive her to Nazareth?

No.

I dropped her off

at the bus station on Friday.

Did you see her get on the bus?

Yes, she got on the 8:15 bus.

Why did she go to that restaurant?

To grab a bite like everyone else.

Siham doesn't like to cook

after a trip.

I'm telling you, my wife had nothing

to do with any of this.

How can you be so sure?

I've shared her life for 15 years.

If she was hiding something,

I would have known about it.

I also was married

to a beautiful woman, Dr. Jaafari.

It took me five years

to find out she was cheating on me.

My wife was not having an affair.

You think she would have

told you about it?

We had no secrets between us.

It's not the kind of secret

one would share.

She had no reason to deceive me.

You know what, Dr. Jaafari?

Life is filled with booby traps

and dog sh*t.

There's only one way

to deal with it...

be ready to face the worst.

Your wife didn't go to that restaurant

to have a snack.

She went there to have a blast.

Get out of my house!

- By the way...

- I said get out of my house!

Do you know what those bastards did

before they blew up the Twin Towers?

They f***ed like rabbits.

I'm telling you, my wife went to eat

like everyone else,

and she died like everyone else!

- Take your hands off!

- Where is the backup? Hurry in!

Get out of my house!

Don't hurt him.

My wife's wounds are the worst

because she was the most exposed.

The bomb was probably

under her table.

Wait for the video.

The perpetrators always

claim responsibility after an attack.

It's true.

Your wife got on the bus

for Nazareth,

the 8:
15 bus.

The driver formally identified her.

But when they left Tel Aviv,

she asked to be let off,

saying it was an emergency.

Then he saw her get in a car...

a Mercedes, old model, cream-colored.

Do you know about it?

My wife had no reason to get off.

Your driver's talking nonsense.

She often visited the Territories.

Why?

She was doing a comparative study

on media coverage of the conflict.

A comparative study?

A project financed

by Tel Aviv University.

Three days before the attack,

40,000 shekels were withdrawn

from your account.

Were you aware of this?

Did she tell you about it?

My wife doesn't need my permission

to withdraw money.

Why all that cash? Shopping?

You said your wife

went to Nazareth, right?

Well, we sent someone there.

Guess what her grandfather said.

He hasn't seen her

for the past nine months.

That's impossible.

Her cousin Jeryes

said the same thing.

So, if she wasn't in Nazareth,

where was she?

Answer me!

There must be an explanation,

but it's not what you think.

All evidence leads us to believe
