The Attack Page #4

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.

that your wife never left Tel Aviv...

not on Friday,

not on any other day.

That's not enough

to make her guilty.

Tell me something, Doctor.

Your wife tells you

she was going to Nazareth,

and as soon as your back is turned,

she returns to Tel Aviv.

Isn't it a lie?

You're the one who's lying,

but this isn't going to work.

The night before,

you received a call.

I receive many calls.

At 8:
27 p.m.

You were at your award ceremony.

You were sitting in the third row,

seat 16A.

You were about to give your speech

when your phone rang.

You answered.

It lasted eight seconds.

Who was it?

You did answer.

Yes.

Was it your wife?

I couldn't talk. She called to say

she was happy for me.

From a 280-bit encrypted phone?

Pretty sophisticated stuff

just to congratulate you.

Who does the phone belong to?

You figure it out.

I'm telling you, my wife didn't do it!

She didn't!

Why wasn't she with you

at the ceremony, Doctor?

You waited for this moment

all your life, your medical Oscar,

and she wasn't with you?

Strange, isn't it?

You know, I don't think

she was having an affair,

because if she was, she would have

certainly come with you.

That's what normal people do.

So, what was she doing

that was so much more important

than being with you

on the most important day

of your career?

Strange, Doctor.

Really strange.

It must have hurt.

A witness saw a pregnant woman

enter the restaurant.

He recognized her in a photo

as your wife.

Was your wife pregnant?

So, what made her belly so big?

Did she have gas problems?

What did she have under her dress

if not the damned bomb

that killed 17 people,

including a bunch of kids

who were celebrating a birthday?

Wait for the video.

I don't give a sh*t about your video!

F*** you and your video!

Tell me, Dr. Jaafari,

how a beautiful, intelligent woman,

pampered by her husband

and her friends,

most of whom are Jews,

could get up one day

and blow herself up in a restaurant

and kill 17 people

who still had food in their mouths?

Please, I haven't slept in three days.

Your wife didn't just commit

mass murder,

she also destroyed all the trust

Israel has placed

in its Arab citizens.

So, no, I won't let you go

until I find out how and why,

even if I have to lock you in

for the rest of your life!

If you need a lawyer,

the state of Israel

is civilized enough to provide one

even to its worst enemies.

Grab him.

I fell off a horse.

Where are you from?

From the triangle.

I like your place.

You see the spines?

If you get stung by one,

it releases a substance

in your blood

and you become an addict.

To what?

To whatever you wish.

Why did you do that?
