The Psychologist (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - We didn't have sex since - full transcript

Three minutes,

that's the timeframe.

The therapy?

I'll demonstrate,
look how well it works.

I have to go.

Come on, Effi, it'll only take...

Three minutes, I know.

We no longer do 50 minute sessions,

we get straight to the point.

I was never in therapy.

A virgin, huh?



So why did you contact me?

I wanted to talk...

about someone.

Ah.

And who is this someone?

My girlfriend.

Why do you need 1M shekels

as an initial sum?

That's what it costs,
I'm not "Three Minutes",

I'm working on it "three minutes".

Let's face it,

the only online moneymakers

are websites that create family trees.
-Really?

That and sex sites.



How do you know?

Something came up between me and Hadar.

Your girlfriend, right?

I discovered that my father

made a living

from sperm donations.

And Hadar's mothers, who are lesbians,

used my father's sperm donation

and had Hadar.

So you're family.

Siblings.

Effi,

I have an incest.

That's sex and family trees all in one.

Hello, this is Dr. Tutti Lieblich.

We're out of time.

The Psychologist

"We haven't had sex since we found out"

"Noam Sokolov"

Hey. -There she is.

Hey, Noam.
My name is Dr. Tutti Lieblich.

Hey, Dr. Lieblich.

And you are?

Hadar.

Hadar.

Right. -Right, I have it right here.

She's on a lunch break, too,
so it worked out.

Great.

Hi again. Let me just say I'm...

I'm really happy to be here.
I'm really glad we're here together,

and also that
I've been in therapy for years,

when I returned from my trip
to the east, and before, so...

Good. -That's okay, I know the format.

Oh, really?

Noam and I met... six months ago?
-Six months. -Six.

I think it was six months, yes.

And it's funny,
because we met online, and... -Okay.

He bought something I advertised
on an online message board,

a Buddha figurine.

On the note he wrote about the purchase,
he added an amazing quote,

from the Tibetan Book of the Dead,

so you can see
what an amazing start we had,

but after about two months, he just...

started developing fear of intimacy.
-At this point, I...

Of anything relating to closeness.

I still think... -He wouldn't let me
go anywhere near him for weeks

because he thought he had some
skin sensitivity. -To your perfume.

My perfume? -Am I on mute?

My perfume?
-Yes, your perfume.

Am I on mute?
-Maybe it's me, that's really not...

I must say, something quite amazing
is happening here.

I wish you could see it.

You're obviously related.

I told you so.

Did you tell her about that?

I can't believe you told her about it.
-Of course I told her about it.

Well, we're not related.
-We so are.

We're not, you're insane.

You saw yourself how the sperm
donation serial numbers matched.

Can't you see you're doing
everything you can to push me away?

I'm not trying to push you away.

Would you like to keep
this whole thing a secret, Hadar?

It's not a secret, it's just not true.

You still really care about each other,
that's obvious, too.

What's going on here?

Hey. No, I'm on my lunch break,

I'll be right back to work.

Who are you?

This is Hadar, a friend of mine.

Nice to meet you.

We'll be done in a minute.

Okay.
Don't forget about April's inventory.

Of course. -It was nice meeting you.

"It was nice meeting you."

Were you hitting on him?

Why did you tell him I'm your friend?

Okay, we're digressing somewhat.

I'm your spouse,
your lover, your woman. Okay?

I'm wearing your ring on my finger.

But we're just friends now,
because we haven't had sex

since we found out.
-Okay, it'll work out.

Enough with all those feelings.
Did you get the forms I sent you?

Yes. -Because I need
to record your sessions.

Right, you faxed them over.

So I need you
to sign that waiver for me.

Like I said before,

I've been to all kinds of therapy and...
-Yes?

No one's ever recorded me.
What is that for exactly?

It's very exciting,

I think it'll make you very happy.

An investor is interested in selling
"Three Minutes" brand franchises.

Dr. Leiblich...
-You two being half-siblings,

with that whole sperm thing,
the sperm donation, that is,

and how you only found out
after six months of being, you know,

active, it's kind of a study case.

It's fascinating, it's sexy,
you look good, Hadar,

I think it'll just...

I mean, it could really
help us both out.

The three of us. I think.

It sounds like you want us
to advertise for you.

No, no, no, no,
it's not for marketing purposes,

it's more like for sales.

Okay, before we get to that,
or sign anything,

I just wanted to ask you

if there's still a way

to resume our 50 minute sessions,

especially now,
with it becoming couples' therapy.

No.

No?

I won't do it.

It's a three minute session,
that's why it works.

But... -You've been coming to me
for 50 minute sessions for a year

and you didn't say anything,
and now, after just one session,

you've already brought
this amazing story.

Wow. -It's like a gun to the head,
it forces you to cut to the chase.

If I were paranoid right now,

I'd think you're trying to use us
to promote your business.

Are you paranoid, Noam?

What? No.

Because you thought you might be
paranoid two sessions ago.

So you're not anymore,
and it's 90 seconds into the session.

That's very fast healing,
if you ask me.

You're right.

You're right.

You're insane, both of you.

Do you have a pen over there?

Of course. -I can't believe this.

Don't judge, okay?

Until you see what she's capable of,
don't judge.

Let's not judge anyone.

Are you signing?

Of course I'm signing,
someone has to see this,

or no one would believe me.

Did you sign it?
-Yes, yes.

And I'll fax it over
to the number you gave me, right?

That's great.

It was very nice meeting you, Hadar.

You, too, Dr. Lieblich.

See you next week.

What perfume are you wearing?
I'm already tearing up.

Lavender.

Lavender? I'm allergic to lavender,
thank you very much.

"Let's keep this between us for now"

Okay.

We can use this one.

How much time have you got, honey?

Effy needs me in the office
in like 40 minutes,

so around 30 minutes.

Okay, that's enough time.

Oh, here.

I'll let you see in a minute.

Mrs. Lieblich?

Can you grab my cable for me?

Yes, I can grab your cable for you.

Thanks, yank it towards you.

Okay.

One should never count on Wi-Fi.

So what do I do with this now?

Plug it in.

It's so messy down there.

Plug it in?

Yes.
-Your cable?

Yes. The ethernet cable.

Boom. -Oh!

We fixed it.

Don't worry, I'll fix it in no time.

You're very photogenic.

Thanks, you, too.
-Right.

You look really good on camera, too.

Okay. Let's take it down a notch, okay?

The picture's fine now.

Oh, the picture.

What?

I'm married, in case you forgot.

I know, I work for your husband.

Exactly, so let's keep this between us
and I won't say anything.

About what?

"Can you grab my cable?

"Can you plug it in?

"You look really good?"
-No, Mrs. Lieblich.

No, no, yes, yes,

I know you don't meet women like me
every day.

I accept that, and I don't know
where you're from, but...

I'm from here, I was born here.

Alright, we were all born somewhere,

it's not like I can start messing
around with anyone who...

It's employee-worker relations,
or something, I think.

Please...
-Not to mention the whole...

I'm sorry.
-Ethnic thing.

I didn't mean anything by it.

That's very good, then. -Really,
I hold you in the highest respect.

You're the same age as my mother.

I don't think
I'm the same age as your mother.

Maybe your mother's sister.

One of them, that is,
I assume she has several, if not more.

So the youngest.

By a generation, at least.

Okay, I'll just run a check.

But you were smart about it.

"I'm not attracted to you,
you're the same age as my mother."

I can tell you work at a law firm,
you've picked up a few things.

I didn't mean anything by it.

I won't tell Effy, don't worry.

Okay, fine.

You're cute.

A cutie. -Right.

Alright, let's...
let's see if it works. -Right.

Talk to the webcam.

What is this for anyway?

I'm recording sessions
with a guy who's engaged to a girl,

or however you people call it,

and they have relations, you know,

in bed,
and he found out she's his sister.

His fiancē? -Uh-huh.

But how did he...

So this is what you'll do,
look at your webcam...

Good, and say something, whatever.

Hello.

But tell me what to press
to start the recording.

Did I already press it?
-No, you just need to...

Just... -Will a light come on?

Just touch the...

press this.

Press it?

Here, press it. Yes.

Oh, the "enter" key. -Yes.

So just say so,
why didn't you just say so?

Go ahead. -Okay.

Hello, Dr. Lieblich.
-Yes, hello.

I have a problem and I want
to have relations with my sister.

Well, well, honey!

How old is your sister?

My sister is three years old.

Alright, you know what?

Thank you.

Alright, go to Effy.

"You stole my DNA
while I was sleeping?"

I've got some good news.

We're celebrating today.

I don't see why we're celebrating.

Everything's soaked in soy,
and I'm gluten free, too.

Since when are you gluten intolerant?

I've got Celiac's ever since
I found out you're my sister.

But that's what we're celebrating.

About two weeks ago,

just before our first session,

I swiped some of your DNA from
your inner cheek while you were asleep

and took it to the lab for testing.

We are not blood related whatsoever.

Take your hand off

of my shoulder,

don't touch me.

Why are you...?

I can't believe you stole my DNA
in the middle of the night.

Okay.

I suggest we don't panic.

I didn't it for us.

Hadar, may I ask

what lab you sent the sample to?

I don't know, I don't remember.

You don't know.
-I found them online.

Maybe the most important thing
that's ever happened to you,

but you don't know.

But it's 100 percent accurate.
-I think that means something.

Right, it means we're not related.

We are related.

Why can't you just love me?

You know who argues
the way you're arguing right now.

Why? -You do know.

No. -Who does?

Brothers and sisters.

Come on! We're not siblings!

So why are you upset?

This is all nonsense, the results
were 100 percent accurate.

And what about the sperm?
The... sperm donation? -Oh.

I thought the numbers matched,
between donor and recipient.

That, too. I sent that over, too,
and it turns out there was a typo,

the last two digits...
-So Noam made a mistake.

Yes, Noam made a mistake,
but I don't blame him,

I'm not blaming you,
I accept you and I love you,

and I support you.

It doesn't matter now anyway,
because we're not related,

so everything's okay.

Noam. -Hold on, so we're

not related?

Yes, I already heard that.

I just don't understand what...

So I'll explain it to you.

This was another one
of your pathetic attempts

to create
an interesting personality for yourself,

while ruining the lives
of everyone around you.

I didn't do anything...
-You took a nice girl,

dragged her into a relationship,

and the minute you felt a little bit
of intimacy, you said you're related.

And that's not all!

If that wasn't enough,
you've dragged me into it, too.

Now I need to treat you, and create
investment interest in my brand.

And they need to sell franchises
for that brand.

And all of this is very much based

on the fact that I have an engaged
couple who are brother and sister!

So excuse me!

But I am very, very upset, Noam!

Really!

You're jeopardizing a huge deal here!

I'm sorry, I...

I need to do some thinking.
I don't know.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Why in front of her?
-I knew you wouldn't accept it.

But I can't trust you anymore,

I can't trust you.
-Okay.

I'm taking us out
of this mess now, focus.

You should have told me before
you sent in that DNA sample...

Noam!

Yes? -I am going to solve this issue
with the two of you now,

we need to move along!

I can't trust you anymore!
-Noam Sokolov!

So here goes.

Noam,

you are looking for a mother figure,

not a girlfriend.

You never had any motherly attention,

and that's why every time

a woman gets close to you intimately,

you reject her.

And Hadar, look.

You were raised
by a couple of lesbians.

Neither one of them was a man,

no matter how short she cut her hair,
she was no man.

That's why when you find someone
that's emotionally unavailable,

you cling onto them.

Anyway, you fit each other like a glove,

and let's move on from this point.
Understood?

Yes. -Wow.

As far as I'm concerned,
you're both resolved now.

In return, what I need from you is
that over the next six sessions,

you'll keep the promise
I've made to my investor,

based on your false pretense,

that this is a case
of a couple who found out

they were brother and sister
after they've fallen in love.

And we're forgetting all about those
DNA results for now. Is that clear?

Okay. -Okay. -Okay.

Thank you.

Okay.

I'll see you next week,

and if you can bring some stuff
about sex, that'll be great.

Wow.

"Relationship with an invester"

Oren.

Can you listen to me for a minute?

No, I need to show you.

So you know
what you'll be investing in.

It's becoming huge.

It's exciting.

A recording.

Video.

One of my patients,
and not the weirdest one.

Let's just say it's interesting.

Okay.

It's a family thing.

No. Not arguments.

On the contrary.

Yes.

Are you interested now?

Good.

No, not twins.

Great, so let's schedule a meeting.

What do you say?
Give me two hours on Thursday.

Okay. Alright, great.

I'm glad we talked.

It was fun talking to you.

You know what?

You'll see what I'm wearing
when I see you Thursday.

What do you say about that?

Good.

Bye.

Bye.

Scumbag.

"Bubble bath date"

What are you doing on my computer?

I'm preparing something for court,
I need it for tomorrow morning.

Honey, why am I...?
-I need...

Why am I seeing myself right now?

Because the webcam's on.
It's always on.

Can people see us right now?
Can someone see me move my head?

Yes, around the world.

So you... -Are you 100 years old?

I don't know about these things
as well as you do, don't...

If you had, maybe you'd invest.

But you...

Do you look at yourself like that
all day long?

I'm all alone in here all the time.

So you're sitting here,
looking at yourself.

What's wrong with that?

I like what I see.

There's nothing wrong with it.

I can handle my own reflection,

I'm confident enough.
-There's nothing wrong with it.

I heard a judgmental tone.
-There wasn't any judgment, honey,

I'm glad you're happy with yourself.

Look. Isn't it nice?

Nothing from the Lachman brothers.

I prepared such an amazing
presentation for them,

I showed you. -Sure.

Where are they? I just have
to get that money somehow.

I don't have it right now.
-I already heard that.

My money's working for me.
I've got some stuff up my sleeve.

Yeah? What stuff exactly?

Don't worry, we'll discuss anything
that involves both of us.

But why don't you call your mother?

It's mixing business and stuff,
I won't ask my family for money.

And what am I?

You're my husband, you're not family.

You've got a point there.

Look at tonight's schedule.

"Bubble bath date with Effy"

Bubble bath.

We had a date, remember?

Listen, I'm a little...
My skin is a bit...

Dry. -Oily, dry and ragged.

That's right. Okay.
-I think a quick shower might be better.

Right, so... -I have to go to sleep.

I've got stuff to go over. -I've got
court first thing tomorrow morning.

I took a shower this morning. -Right.

Okay, reschedule it.

We'll do it some other time. -Right.

When? -Have you got my...

My secretary has my calendar.

So I'll schedule it with her.

Exactly.

Schedule bubble... -That's best.

Bath through office.

Great.
-Alright.

Okay, honey.

"What do you say, Stocky?"

"Avner Daskal"

Hey, Tutti.

Hi, Avner. It's good to see you.

It's good to see you.

Yes?

I haven't been able to sleep
since Thursday.

Tell me about it.

It was weird how you just showed up
at the restaurant.

Why was it weird?
It's my husband's favorite restaurant.

I didn't see him.

He wasn't there.
I went with a girlfriend.

I didn't see any girlfriend.

Because she didn't make it.

So you were just hanging out there?

Are you interrogating me, Avner?
-No, no.

I'm actually glad you were there.

See?

But I think Chani kind of struggled

with you sitting at our table.

Right, but my friend didn't show,
so it's basic manners, isn't it?

What is?

Inviting me to join you,
and I'm glad that's what you did.

What?

Or agreed, at least. You said "yes."

Because you sat down.

You didn't have to say "yes."
-That's right, I...

Your girlfriend
is very passive-aggressive.

Look... -In addition to
an endless amount of other issues.

Yes, you told her that, and...

I think she felt like
you may be judging her.

Of course. I told her,

"Get out of the passive,

"just because Avner and I had a thing,

"doesn't mean you should feel
uncomfortable or threatened."

Right.

But then you...
-I think that was very frank.

No games, I think, right?
-Yes.

But I think that from her point of view,

I think what upset her the most,

was when you told her:

"So what do you say, Stocky?"

That's a term of endearment.
It's supposed to break the ice.

So in that case,

when you said it,
I think you hurt her feelings.

I think it's great you don't have
any demands from your woman.

What do you mean?

If she looks good or not...

What?
-It's noble, it's big of you.

Don't forget that...
-It shows character.

She's going through a rough time.

Of course she felt threatened.

I wouldn't have gone out to eat
in sweatpants or...

whatever that was.

No,

you look like a million bucks.

Is that all?

But...

I have to ask you something.

Yes?

Before you left,

could you have...

put gum in her hair?

What?

I just...

Did I put what in her hair? Gum?

I...

No, I just...

Are you telling me you actually...

No, I told her you wouldn't...

Do you think I'd take gum
out of my mouth like some animal

and put it in her hair?

No. I told her you'd never do that.

You're starting to fall
into bad places yourself, Avner.

No, I was just saying what she...

You're spending too much time
with someone who

isn't very balanced, unfortunately.

She's actually really fun.
The other night wasn't typical.

I really hope so.

I think that

it was all because you sat
on my side of the table,

so we ended up laughing
about all sorts of stuff, you and I,

so I think she felt a little left out.

If she had something
to contribute to the conversation,

I'd been happy to include her.

But when you started
feeding me strawberries

she let you use some of hers.

Right, but it didn't occur to her
to feed you strawberries.

She doesn't like strawberries.
-But maybe you do.

Is it all about her and her needs
and what she likes?

Maybe she doesn't like oxygen, either
so we should all stop breathing and die.

Right.
-It's not her fault,

she's unstable and she needs help.

The question is

if this is the person you want
to spend the rest of your life with.

I think that's something to consider.

No, I thought about it,

and I told her
I'm taking a step back.

Back from what?

The table, the chair, the relationship?

No, because I proposed to her,

but then, after you left,
we had a huge fight,

and I told her I wanted
to end the relationship,

and she got upset.

Finally, a normal reaction.

And then I had to take
the gum out of her hair.

And that's it. She left,
and I'm really confused since then.

I think it sounds very clear.

I've been thinking about you.

All the time, I...

I love you.

I think...

I love you.

Now you're transferring. It's typical.

What's that?

It's when the patient projects
false feelings onto the therapist.

False feelings?

Yes, that are impossible to fulfill,

I can't treat them
as if they were real feelings,

that's unprofessional and unethical.

But they're feelings.
-Not real ones.

Feelings.
-But not real ones.

You keep repeating that,
I don't understand what that means.

It's basic,
it's in every psychology book,

and don't ask me
for a precise definition,

because I'm not about
to open a psychology book

because the boredom would kill me.

But I love you, I feel love,

I want to be with you,

I want to touch you,
I want to be with you.

Of course we can talk about this
as much as you want,

but there's nothing
I can do about it, so...

I want to see you tomorrow.

I want to see you,

tomorrow.

I can't,

I have a lunch date at "Unami."

With my girlfriend,
who never shows up, at 12:30 PM.

I'll be parking at the back lot.

"Unami." Okay.

Avner, I'm hanging up now.
I'll see you next time.

At the back.

Yes, of course you will.

And you'd better come prepared,
because it's going to be intense.

I'm going to tear that blouse
off of you...

You're on mute, Avner.
-And I...

And I don't care,
I'm going to grab you,

and I'm going to kiss you.

I'm not listening.

I'll pick you up
and throw you in the back seat.

You can try.

What, can you hear me?

Look at me.

Look at me. Can you hear me?

Hello?

Hello?

I can't hear you,
because you're on mute.

But you're talking to me.
Are you out of your mind?
