Hebrew University
Mount Scopus, Jerusalem

A breathtaking view from the campus. Wide angle shot coming into one building. Slow moving shot into EXAM ROOM with old-fashioned desks. Students writing and checking their watches. An instructor in shirt and tie mopping his forehead and fanning himself at the front desk. We focus on one student – young, handsome, in full military attire. Sure of himself. Even taking an exam.

A young MAN, also in military attire, comes into room and whispers to the professor, who nods and points to the student. He walks over and, after a moment, the student gets up and walks out with him. 

They drive, the student in back. They pull over by a military compound not far from campus, then both get out and make their way to an OFFICE. The student is about to sit when another aide motions him to come in. Before him is a short, bald man with oak clusters on his shoulders. On his desk is a folder with photographs. We see the same PHOTO of the family from the bombing.

The student sits. They talk, appearing to agree on something. Reluctantly, on the part of the student. The student walks back out, looking back up towards the examination building he just left.
