The Attack Page #6

and lecture us

about what's good and what's not?

Your wife died

for your redemption, Doctor.

I don't understand how a bigot

like you who preaches tolerance

can send women and children

to their death

while he hides in his hole.

How do you choose your prey,

by the way?

Do you recruit

those who are fragile

because they are easier

to manipulate?

I'm stunned

by what I just heard, Amin.

It breaks my heart.

We could debate this

for months and years.

We'll never come

to the same conclusion.

You have your life,

we have ours.

You have your views,

we have ours.

We'll never agree on anything.

This is how it is.

Anyway, I agreed to receive you

for a simple reason,

to explain to you once and for all

that there's nothing for you here.

You wanted to meet me.

It's done.

Now put this interview behind you

and go back to Tel Aviv.

But know something...

I never met your wife.

I Wish I did.

We're not Islamists

or Christian fanatics.

We're just a ravaged people

who are fighting with whatever we can

to recover our dignity.

Nothing more, nothing less.

When I stayed with you in Tel Aviv,

I told you it was for business.

But it wasn't.

I was there to supply the local cell.

Your reputation

placed us above suspicion.

One day, Siham found a briefcase

under the bed

with documents and a handgun.

I was sure she was going

to raise the alarm.

I even thought about killing her.

But Siham came in my room

with a wad of money,

and she said, "it's for you."

It took us a while to trust her.

We tested her,

and she convinced us.

Your house became

the main place

where we held our meetings

in Tel Aviv.

Siham helped us collect

and transfer funds

to Haifa, Nazareth.

She even put her bank account

at our disposal.

She became our main contact

in Tel Aviv.

Why didn't she tell me anything?

She didn't want anyone

to get in her way.

I begged her not to do it

many times...

but she didn't see

why she should let others do

what she ought to do herself.

I told her she was more useful to us

alive than dead,

but she wouldn't listen.

There was nothing I could do.

I didn't want her to blow herself up.

You're my nephew.

Why didn't you tell me?

She made me swear

not to say anything.

Especially to you.

When did she go over?

The day she got to Jenin.

Something snapped in her head.

The massacre she saw

was indescribable.

She never saw anything like it.

I think that's what pushed her

over the edge.

It's for you.

I know you were looking for it.

If Siham knew about it,

she would have asked me

not to give it to you.

But she didn't know.

I'm really sorry.

I haven't been biting my nails

for the last three weeks

just for you to tell me

that she did it.

Did your family know?

Not more than I did.

What about the terrorists?

Did you meet any of them?

It's behind me now, Kim.

What did you find out about them?

Was anyone in your family involved?

I don't understand you, Amin.

I really don't.

17 people were killed,

8 maimed for life.

Some of them

were on your operating table.

What are you asking?

If you know something,

you should inform the police.

You have a moral obligation

to the victims.

They deserve to know, too.

It's not my job.

They managed to convince you.

I won't go tell on anyone,

not to the police,

not to anyone else.

Why not?

Because I refuse to contribute

to more repressive measures.

This is bigger than us.

You're protecting those people.

I'm not.

You were welcomed amongst us.

You had a good life here.

If I got to where I am,

it's because I earned it.

And because we made it possible.

I don't know, Amin.

It seems to me everything

you used to say in the past...

Was false?

Maybe convenient.

I don't think you can live in a place,

enjoy the best

of what it has to offer,

and then refuse to defend it.

What are you talking about?

And next time, when you're

in the operating room

because someone blew himself up,

ask yourself,

"Who am I really trying to save?"

Siham, did Khalil explain

everything to you?

Yes, it's simple.

Shall we go over this

one more time?

It's not necessary.

Can you show me

how to deactivate the device?

Why would you do that?

Just in case something happens.

We've been through this.

You know where to go?

Yes.

Someone will drop you off

in Tel Aviv,

then you're on your own.

We've prepared a text

for you to read.

Want to read it again?

A text? Why?

Everyone leaves a message.

It's important

that people understand.

We want you to read it on camera.

I don't want to leave a message.

I can't

Do you want to say something else?

Like What?

A final word.

Can I make a phone call?

Who do you want to call?

I'd like to speak with my husband.

It's too risky.

They can trace it back.

We have to proceed.

Please, I need to make this call.

- Hello.

- Amin...

Siham, sweetheart,

I can't talk right now.

I'll call you later.

Amin...

Why are you crying, my love?

Because every time you leave,

a part of me dies.
