The Psychologist (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Relations with an investor - full transcript

On the previous episodes

Three minutes, that's the timeframe.

The therapy?

Out of a 60 minute session,
three minutes are the most effective.

One, two, three.

The first thing that comes to mind.

Shame. -Me.

Liquids. -Babysitter.

Room. -Bathroom.

Body part.

Peepee. -Peepee!



Ofra. -Ofra!

Forbidden.

Is Ofra the babysitter?

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

Six months.

After two months

he became

afraid of intimacy.
-Okay, at this point,

I...
-He just...

He wouldn't let me near him for weeks.

Am I on mute?

Am I on mute?
-Maybe it's me...

Can you grab my cable?

I'm married.
-I know, I work for your husband.



Exactly, it's between us
and I won't say a word.

About what?

"Can you grab my cable?"

"Let's plug it in..."

I love you.
I want to be with you.

I want to touch you.
I want to see you tomorrow.

I can't,
I have a lunch date at "Unami"

with a friend who always bails,
at 12:30,

I'll park in the garage...

nearby, behind.

Behind...

Dr. Lublin--
-Lieblich.

Lieblich? Not Lublin?

Lieblich.

Do you know Effi Lieblich?

Effi Lieblich is my husband,
so yes, I know him.

This is hilarious!

We go to the same spinning class!

He's some flirt, huh?

Hello, I'm Dr. Tutti Lieblich.

The Psychologist

Ilan Ozer

Hello.

My name is Ilan Ozer, 58 years old...

"Recommendation"

Hi, I'm Noam Sokolov.

Best without glasses,

it's more... Okay.

I can't see a thing.

No, okay.

Okay, so...

Okay.

I'm supposed to talk about Dr. Lieblich,

about her skills as a therapist.

I've been seeing her for...

okay, if we count

the 50 minute sessions

that were very effective
and were cut down to...

It's not just the therapy,

it's the work I did with my girlfriend, Hadar.

But when I talked to Dr. Lieblich,

and with my girlfriend, Hadar,

who is...
-What's he making this up for?

An amazing partner--

Ilan Ozer

Yes, hello.

Do you hear me now? -Yes.

You're not speaking well.

Oh, please...

Emotionally, it's not easy.

Are you in the midst of the session?

What?
-Do you hear me?

All the time.

Can't you see I'm not answering you?

No.

Can't you hear... What's that?

What?

I can't see you.

Could your cable be faulty?

Great, I'm going to get one now. Goodbye.

...Hadar, who's an amazing partner.

Dude...

I have many food allergies.

Leeks, peanuts...

Is it my fault bean sprouts take up room?

No way!

Once I had to take out
someone's tuna sandwich with gloves.

I'll admit him.

She taught me

to take my emotions...
-Finally.

And my thoughts and needs

and separate them from my life.

That's what Tutti Lieblich...

And with my girlfriend, Hadar,

I'm in a much better place.

I heard that.

Okay, but she didn't ask you
to make a video, right?

So...

So let me do this.

Why are you wearing shoes in the house?!

You see what I'm trying to do, right?

Don't you know where "pause" is?
-Let my thoughts wander

and my fear, frustration,
helplessness, pain...

Great, I'm hard again.

What?!

Shit, fuck.

"Meet Haifa Bay"

Effi is typing...

Sweetie, something came up.
I'll be late. Eating out.

Sharona Ben Avraham

I see you're back.

Why wouldn't I?

The unpleasantness from last time?

What unpleasantness?

Well, you made up a story about a gym

and this imaginary relationship
with my husband.

What imaginary relationship?

You said you know him
from the same spinning class.

I do know your husband.
-Very interesting.

I'd say pretty well.
-Listen, I talked to him.

To Effi? -Yes.

I don't know how you know we're married,

but he said he doesn't do spinning

because he's not gay.

So there's no way you know him.

Certainly not from there.

Effi said he doesn't do spinning?
-He doesn't, yes.

Okay, fine.

Then maybe it's another Effi Lieblich.
-Looks like it.

Then let's see.

My Effi attended the Hebrew University.

Like lots of other people.

He's much older than me,
but he's younger than you.

He's in great shape.

He's buff, handsome...
-Not the same one.

He's married,
but he and his wife split five years ago

for six months
because she was frigid.

Oh, and his honeymoon was a disaster,

they didn't do the business in bed.

Oh, his sweat smells like caramel.

He has great taste in clothes

and shoes.

A propos...

you see these?

He picked them out.

So, is it the same one?

Could be.

Then he's not imaginary, right?

He may not be,
but your relationship is,

because Effi is in love with his wife...
-Oh, honey...

we're having an affair.

Me and Effi.

We haven't done the deed,

but at his convention this weekend in Haifa...

Please meet,

Haifa Bay.

It's going to happen at the hotel.

As far as I remember,
Effi's impotent, but you can try.

Honey.

"Get me sushi on the way back?"

"Recommendation 2"

Dr. Lieblich...

really helped me

when it comes to men...
-It's not recording.

It's recording.

Okay, again.

I used to be superficial,

I was attracted to...
-Start over, Liati.

You're doing so well.

Yes, encourage her.

Now? -Yes.

Dr. Lieblich...
-You didn't press "record".

Luckily, a man around the house.

I pressed. Go.

Dr. Lieblich really helped me

when it comes to men.

I used to be superficial,

I was attracted to their appearance.

Can I say "their look?"

Say "their beauty."

Whatever, just keep talking.

"Their beauty" is great.
-Yeah?

I used to be superficial,

I was attracted
to their external beauty.

Now I'm also

very attracted

to their money.

You're not focused.

I broke up with my boyfriend yesterday.

The one you met the day before?

He...

didn't want to have sex.

And I'm a very sexual person.
-Wow.

I was like... come on already.

I'm dying.

Why didn't he want to have sex?

I don't remember.
-Wow, that's nuts.

I'm horny all the time.

Hamudi,

no one asked you.

Okay.

What's done is done. Go on.

You look so good on camera.

Your hair is strong

and your eyes...

are like diamonds.

Ignore him, he comes on to everyone.

Mrs. Lieblich always thinks
I'm coming on to her.

When someone asks me
to grab his cable

and put it in my plug...

We just fixed her computer...

Fix my computer too.

Gladly.

Wow...

you're cute.

You're like Ofer Schechter, just brown.

Oh man.

No one ever said that to me.

I love hummus. -What?

You do?

I love Arabs.

Wow.

Really? -Yes.

I'm an Arab.

I know.

Can you tell?

Sure.

It's so hot.

Do you really think that Arabs...

are hot?

You know what, it is hot in here.

I'm sweating.

How about I come over
for some jachnun?

I'm not Yemenite.

Okay, can we get this done?

Give me your phone number,
I'll invite you to a shashlik.

Hamudi, you're disturbing.
-Sorry.

052-8817356.

Tutti, what's going on with Avner?

In what way?

He's walking around the office
like he's on two E's at least.

What...

In his scheduler, last week,

it said:
Friday, 12:00, Tutti "Unami"

and next to it,
"Can't wait for Friday."

You two have a thing?

No, it must be a code.

A code?
-For treatment, maybe?

You want him to write,
"Treatment for my mental illness?"

Ah.

And Hamudi works in Effi's office,
just so you know.

Cool.

Not cool.

Effi is my husband.

So?

So it's unethical.

Oren's wife?

What...

What are you doing?

I'm arranging the flowers behind me.

For the video?

Yes, it's...

they weren't in the frame,
so I told her

to move them.

What keeps beeping all the time?

What's going on here?

You know what? We're done.

I'll find a patient to do it instead.
Thank you, Liat.

That was great.

You really helped me. Bye.

I think it came out good.

Session Avner Deskal in 00:19

What?

Call you? Why?

Avner?

Yes, sure I can online...

You told me to call.

Then go online.

Just press "video".

It doesn't work?

You don't have Internet?

Fine, alright.

I was going to show you something nice.

Never mind what.

Maybe it was a bad idea to begin with.

Listen, I wanted to discuss
ending the sessions

and our relationship.

Because...

No.

Let's not blame me.

I didn't say I'd wait at "Unami",

you assumed I would.

Yes, I can hear you crying.

I hear you to here.

Yes, okay,

Avner, this is going nowhere, so...

I'm hanging up.

There are websites for that.

Ah, you don't have Internet.

Then use your imagination.

Bye.

"You're a sick woman"

Hello, Haifa.

I gather it didn't work out,
my condolences.

Don't look at me,
I'm not pretty when I cry.

That's why.

I'm a mess.

I don't leave the house.

I gorge on pretzels like a cow.

I gained two kilos,
I'm drowning in carbs.

You tripped me up on purpose.
-I warned you,

but if you want to add paranoia
to your issues, we can do that.

Really? Paranoia?

No? Then what is it?

Listen.

Well?

We get to Haifa...

Great, now I have to hear the details.

I think you really want
to hear the details.

Okay.

Dinner was just fine.

We go up to the room,

I undress...
-You can skip here and there.

And the man didn't function!

I can't believe you did this to me!

You're blaming me?

What's wrong with you, huh?

Don't take it so hard,

he's used to more subtle femininity.

You don't say!

Do you know why he came on to me?

I can't imagine.

He said he came on to me,
because he thought I'm...

He thought...

that I'm trans.

Can you believe it?!

What? -What?!

Who could even think I'm trans?

Look!

Are these a man's hands?

Hmm...

No, you're a sick woman,
you know that?

I need therapy,

but you need it more than me.

You've been married to a homo for 200 years.

What's wrong with you?

He had hoped you're trans.

He thought that I'm trans.

You're insane.

It's what any normal man would say

when a woman can't turn him on.

Of course I couldn't turn him on!
Are you a psycho?

I don't have a dick!

"Transsexuals"

Ilan Ozer calling

Ilan Ozer calling

I removed my sexual organs
when I was only 17.

The surgery took three long procedures...

Hi.

Oh, hello. It's you, right?

Me what?

Who keeps hanging up.

Did you change the cable?

Very funny.

How can I help you?

Like I said last time...

You didn't say anything,
you were on mute.

That's not precise.

Wait, I can't hear you.

Great...

"Great?"

I was checking something.

Excuse me.

Just a second.

Hello?

Yes, Ezra.

It's the building parking lot.

No.

No.

Yes...

"This is my cubicle"

Noam Sokolov calling

Hi, Noam.

There you are.

I'm sorry I'm late,

I was on the phone with Hadar.

And?

She wants to fly in a guru from India
and his entourage for the wedding

and I don't know how to deal with that.

Yes, she can be capricious.

No, actually I don't want to treat

a couple who are siblings.

Yes, we argued over that all week.

I'm sorry, she hates the fact
that this is recorded.

Well...

So she wants me to plan the wedding

and pay for it

and it's so stressful.

Deal with it.

And I thought about what you said,

that I have to insist on my place
in this relationship,

so I put a weight clause in our prenup.

How much?
-Sixty kilos.

Good.
-I said,

if you go over,
I won't be attracted to you.

She did pig out on chocolates last session.

So that and the financial burden
of the wedding...

Visa is cutting back,

I don't know
what will happen to my salary.

Visa?

Yes.
-The credit card company? -Yes.

Ah.

I thought you provide visas
to people who want to travel.

No, but there are cutbacks,
so it's hard to plan a wedding.

Okay.

I have an idea, Noam.

You'll practice being more assertive at work

and you'll apply that
to your relationship with Hadar.

Awesome. -Good.

First, I want you to take

all the paper clips you have there
and scatter them on the desk.

I can't...
-Don't think, do it.

Okay...

Excellent. You see?
You're still alive.

Okay, okay.
-You're gathering them up?

There are rules.
-You make the rules, Noam.

Our cubicles must be ready for inspection.

It's your cubicle.

No, it's...

Say, "this is my cubicle."
-This is my cubicle.

Louder.
-This is my cubicle.

You make the rules, shout!

I can't, there's someone beside me...

Shout, Noam!
-This is my cubicle!

Shut up, you freak.

No... I was just...
-Don't apologize!

I got something in my throat...
-I said, don't apologize!

You're right, you're right.
-It destroys the exercise.

Now, get on the computer

and find an account number.

I can't, that's confidential...

I'm just in charge of the automatic machines.

Do you want to be assertive or not?

Yes.
-Type this number!

I said

I can't do it.
-Four, four, three, six...

No, I'm afraid someone will...
-Four, four, three, six...

one, two...

zero, nine...

seven, six...

three, five...

eight, two, two, eight.

Okay, Efraim Lieblich?
-Yes. He's my husband.

Your name doesn't appear.

We're married, it's fine.

Okay.
-Read the recent transactions.

A gas station convenient store,
a gas station on Highway 6...

What city?

Tel Aviv, central bus station.

"Evita" club,

there's...

"Macho Man Accessories",

"This is Sodom", a spa... Okay...

our fraud department

can check into it, I...
-No, no,

I know about them, it's fine.
-Okay, so...

"Husband and Lace"... okay,
wow, wow, wow...

a charge of 1.500,

the fraud department
must look into this. -No,

don't talk to them or to anyone.

Okay, there's "Dungeon", that's...

I know what this is.

"Dungeon" is a club, right?

No, no, no, I...

I know what they are,
just send me the sheet.

I... I can't.
It's confidential, I can't...

Send it to me!

Okay, Hadar...
Tutti, Tutti, Dr. Lieblich,

I'm sending, I'm sending.

There, sent.

Good for you, Noam.

Way to go.

Thank you.

You know what?

If I can apply
what we just did...

I'll see you next time.

Effi?

New video message from Julian Klein

Effi?

Effi?

Tutti, hello.

I haven't left the office for a week.

I can't bend my back
for fear I'll see my body.

Call me urgently.

Thank you.
