Hello.

Hi.

- Hi.

I made it.

People might think

I'm a political activist.

Are they the only ones coming?

- Yes.

It's a weekday.

We're waiting for one more person.

I may have a way

to contact another woman.

Lily, where are we going?

We're meeting Fadi

at Tapuach Junction.

We'll be in the Awarta area.

What'll you say:

"We're from the same lineup"?

I don't know.

I'll think of something.

You think you have the right

to invade her life?

I think it would do her good

to know there are others.

It would do her good?

Do you know her?

Do you know

anything about her?

Have I harmed you?

I'm sorry.

My life right now is...

I just can't.

Do you want

to meet up sometime?

I can't deal with it

right now, Nira.

Do you understand?

How long will this take today?

Until evening.

I didn't know

it would take so long.

I must be back for my daughter

this afternoon.

I'm sorry.

Do you have a way to get back?

- Yes, I'll take the bus.

Bye.

No, it's fine. Bye.

Listen to me.

There's been

shooting this morning.

Make sure to send someone over.

I don't know,

send someone over.

Soldier, don't point your gun!

No one is threatening you!

Everyone, get over there!

Was I not clear?

Why are you pointing guns

at children?

Get over there!

Go home, go home!

Speak politely.

Would you talk that way to me?

- I wasn't talking to you.

Then don't talk to

these people like that.

Don't piss me off,

come over here!

Stop filming Palestinians

before I...

What?

Are you going out?

I don't know.

Where are you going?

- I don't know.

Is there someone else?

- What?

Someone else?!

You're with your work,

your Palestinians, your injustices.

What do you need me for?

To be your babysitter?

Let me be.

Hi, I'm Nira. - Hi.

- Thanks for coming.

Are you filming this?

No, don't worry.

I'm just recording.

I want to remember

all the details. Thank you.

Will you start

from the beginning?

I was 22,

a college student.

It was about 5pm.

I was walking down the path

to get a falafel

at the shopping center.

Suddenly someone

grabbed hold of my neck

and choked me really hard

while covering my mouth.

And at that very moment,

I have no idea how,

but I knew it was rape.

All I remember is that I saw,

I imagined,

a body, my body,

naked,

white,

dead,

in the field.

But, I hardly remember anything.

It was Passover,

school was out

and...

I couldn't be alone

for a minute.

I couldn't walk down the street

or go into stairwells.

No, I couldn't...

I couldn't function.

That's it. What else?

Don't leave me.

Don't leave me, Amnon.

You saved me, Amnon.

I don't want to live without you.

What do you need me for, Lily?

What do you need me for?

What's left between us?

The kids are grown up. What?

What's the point?

As always,

you're the victim.

I want you to go.

Be careful, I really will go.

Go, go.

Is this for me?

Thank you.

Let's go back to

where we left off.

I suddenly felt

a hard blow.

One hand was choking me,

I could hardly breathe,

then he carried me

into the orchard.

I kept thinking

how I was going to survive.

How I was going to

live and not die.

Yes, I remember it well.

I was so scared

he would kill me,

I was scared

he would kill me.

When he had the nerve

to show me his face,

it was already dark.

I remember eyes, eyes,

eyes all the time.

And curly black hair.

I see him between my legs,

with eyes!

Right in front of my eyes.

With eyes, eyes, all the time.

I say to myself,

"I wish this nightmare was over,

I wish this nightmare was over."

It came back to me

later when...

I had sex with my partner.

I said,

"No, this is not going to happen!"

I remember the moustache,

a moustache.

At a certain point,

I noticed he had a moustache.

Hi.

The suspect, 37,

accused of rape,

is led

to the courthouse

with chains on

his hands and feet.

He covers his face

with a plastic bag.

The judge orders the suspect

to be kept in custody.

He will be sent for

psychiatric evaluation

to determine if he is responsible

for his acts.

The investigation of this case

began after the first complaint

of a rape that occurred here

two years ago.

Every night, stakeouts were set up,

but the acts of rape continued.

Last month, right here,

near Shalvata hospital,

the suspect was arrested

where two rapes occurred.

The suspect admitted

committing two rapes.

identify him in a police lineup.

The 37-year-old suspect,

a father of three, is charged with...

...16 counts of rape.

The maximum punishment for rape

is 14 years in prison.

Nira?

Sorry.

No, no, sorry.

- I'm so sorry.

No, no, it's not that.

I never cry.

I didn't even cry

when my father died.

Everything is so complicated.

Nothing is working for me.

I don't know what

I'm doing anymore.

I just saw the man

who raped me.

What?!

- No...

He raped me a long time ago.

I just saw him now on video.

He looks so alive.

I thought I knew

what I'm doing.

Bullshit.

I didn't think you'd call.

I waited a day, two days,

but six months?

I surprised myself too.

This morning I found the note with...

...your number

that you gave me in the taxi.

Shall we go to a restaurant,

a cafe?

I also know...

a little hotel.

It's not the Riviera...

I've never been to the Riviera.

Coffee at the hotel?

Leaving already?

I had a really good time.

Hello.

Hi there.

- Hi.

Come in.

Shir's asleep,

let's sit in the kitchen.

I didn't think

I'd ever see you again.

I separated from Amnon.

My husband.

I told him to leave.

- Wow...

Would you like some coffee? Tea?

How about vodka?

Vodka's good.

Hold on.

All I've got is corn.

Is that okay?

Great.

It's been over with Amnon

for a long time.

I didn't want to see it.

You came in the middle,

it wasn't good timing.

But you came for a reason.

I guess so.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Did he also tell you that...

he was in the Yom Kippur War,

that the war did it to him?

I don't...

remember exactly what

he did in the war. It was...

Let's not talk

about the rape...

Oh, he said...

he was in the Sinai Desert.

That he'd had that problem

ever since.

Did he think that

if he pleaded shellshock

you'd let him rape you?

Lily, come on, let him rot in jail.

Forget it.

Can I have one?

You want a cigarette?

- Yes.

You started smoking?

I want a cigarette.

Blow the smoke outside.

I had sex.

- Really?

A one-night stand.

It was amazing.

For me, sex...

is always heartbreak.

When I had sex with Avri...

after nearly vomiting

a few times, he had enough.

So did I.

- Makes sense.

Do you know

how many years he got?

Thirty.

I see you, I'm sorry we're late.

Come on.

Wait here for me.

I have see my friend.

I'll be right back.

Hi.

- Hi.

Let me see...

- Here.

We went to buy some plants.

Where is it?

- Right here.

"After 10 years behind bars,

the Polite Rapist is released."

How did they let him out

after 10 years?!

After you left yesterday,

I went on the Internet.

I found the High Court's ruling
