The Psychologist (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - It was horrible - 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.

What brings you to therapy?

I have a problem with my wife.

She's a liar, she's a thief,

she thinks all men are coming on to her.

Set boundaries for her.

This is insane!

Dror was arrested.



Dror Lachman? -Yes!

Can he write?
-No.

He signs the checks

and the second payment is late,

that's why I called.

I want you to meet my rabbi.

I went over your material with the rabbi,

the hotels, the saunas.
-The gay ones.

A friend of mine went to his center,

he got treatment

and totally turned around.

We're at an impasse with Efraim.

Very profound resistance.
-To what?

Women.



He didn't have to go
to Arad to find that out.

Safed. -Yes.

I never told you,

I had a child out of wedlock.
-What?

His name is Luzvimindo.

Is that an African name?

No, Filipino.

Everything is so perfect.

What do you mean?

I always loved Pad Thai.

Pad Thai isn't Philippine.

Hello, I'm Dr. Tutti Lieblich.

The Psychologist

"The visit was horrible"

Mom online

Hi, Mom.

Hi, Tutti, sweetheart.

I'm just checking in.
What are you eating?

I'm wonderful.

Is that licorice?
-I love licorice.

You got some on your neck.

No.

It's a map of the Philippines.

A tattoo? -Yes.

A real one? With a needle?
-No, I got a mouse to bite me.

Fine, I'm the moron.
Why not get a tattoo?

Is that a bong?

Okay. I didn't see that.

Talk to me.

I wanted to see how you are
after your visit.

Not so hot...

I see two Tuttis.

Maybe you need an MRI.

One is a lot.

So, how are you?

The visit was horrible.
-Yes, a real pleasure.

I was disappointed Effi wasn't there.

He went away on business.

He didn't tell me!

He tells me everything.

It was last minute.

It would have helped if he was there.

I didn't enjoy it,
Luz didn't enjoy it.

Luz thinks you don't love him.

Of course I don't.

I don't know why we came.

He tried to steal stuff, Mom.

I don't think that's a Philippine custom.

So you call the cops
as if you're holier than thou?

He pulled a knife on me!

You just made a fuss.

He said he'd kill me!

He's my son!

I'm a mother!

Do you know what a mother's love is?

I can't believe
you still think he's your son.

He is, and that's that!

Mom, Aroyo showed you documents,

Luz' birth certificate.

Who's... Royo?

Aroyo, from Effi's office.

That ugly guy!

He's so creepy.

There's a picture of Luz' parents

and they're Filipino,
the mother looks nothing like you,

except for her height.

Anyone can buy a birth certificate.
-Really...

You go online,

there's this Nigerian,

you pay him and get the papers.

We have the DNA results.

I watch "Hawaii 5-0" too.

I know all the scams.

Look at this kid,

I had this assessed,

it's worth 50.000.

Luz gave it to me practically free.

And I have three more

rolling around somewhere.

Now it's 50.000?

I can

burn it...

Don't, Mom...
-And I don't give a damn.

Don't burn them,
it's just the sum I need!

I don't pass on gifts.

Ah.

You won't believe who called me.

Luz' brothers?

Your nanny, Zefira Toledano.

She's still alive?

She does parlor meetings now.

As what?

She sells paraphernalia to couples.
-What paraphernalia?

I wrote Effi a message:

Buy a few things to use with Tutti.

He is so not satisfied, Tutti.

That's no way to keep a husband.

Alright, Mom,
it was nice talking to you.

To catch up.

I'm going to nap...

Wait...

Record, record, record...

Mom?

Mom.

Mom!

"Provisos for revoking a will"

"From all sides"

Oh...

Oh...

Hello, Margalit.
-Hello, dear.

Thank you for taking my call,
I see that you're...

You got me out of bed.

Is that a pajama?
-Yes.

Listen, I made some inquiries
after we spoke

and read a few chapters
of Rabbi Uzi's book and...

You've softened up a little.
-Yes.

And I saw your husband
giving an interview...

On Channel 20 or his website?

I must say, he looks great,

so spiffy...
-He's very well groomed.

Hygiene matters to him,
so do his looks.

Because religious people aren't so...

I know, yes.

And he conveys his message
with such fervor.

What did he talk about?

Same sex marriage.

Yes.

It's important to save those people.

You're a good looking couple,
that's what I'm trying to say.

Bless you.

And I thank you
for the work you're doing with Effi.

I thought of coming to Safed

to see his process and support him.

That's so heartwarming,

but...

it's a sensitive process
and we're making progress with Effi.

So?

It could hinder the process.

Oh my...

Are you alright?

I'm exhausted from work.

This work?

Yes, we progressed beyond
electrodes and discussions,

we're on "Esther drew near".

What's that?

The Book of Esther.
-Okay...

"Esther drew near

"and touched the top of the scepter".

Doesn't ring a bell.

It's electric stimulation,
massage, arousal...

it's a demanding process.

So you're sleeping with my husband?

Not sleeping, but yes.

We activate all the tools on high
from all sides.

That's not a service
that's listed on your site.

We do what we can.

You're getting money
to have sex with my husband.

All in faith and good will.
-Faith in what?

They're moments of sanctity.

God touches me there and says:
"Margalit,

"go, bestow."

Why not the shoulder?
-What?

Touching you.

You know,

Effi opens his heart to me

in a very genuine way.

I'm so thrilled to share with you.

When he said your father
had a special effect on you,

I felt so close to you,

because my father affected me

in the same way.

It will turn out that we're family.
-My father was an electrician.

Then no.

And he taught me

contact and current.

At least let me talk to Effi on the phone.

The process with Effi is so effective

that Mano asked me
not to leave his side until the elections.

Mano asked you to do that?

Yes. It's in poor taste
that Effi be with the woman

who pushed him into homosexuality.

But getting an ugly divorce

and embarrassing him in the press
before the elections

isn't in poor taste.

People watch TV every night,

this is what they want,

a wound, redemption, a new life.

That's what we provide at "Uzi Center".

A whole heart is a broken heart.

So I should be thanking you.

I'm just doing what you should have.

So maybe you should thank me.

Okay, I have to go in for another round.

So Effi doesn't lose his momentum.

Kisses.

"Effi comes home"

Scatter a rose on me.

On the bed too?

On the pillows.
Make a path from the door to the bed,

so it looks romantic.

It's lovely, Dr. Lieblich.

Maybe a bit...

of lingerie?

No, don't do that.

Alright.

Put champagne on both nightstands.

He'll love it, he'll die!

Music!
-What's your favorite?

I don't like music, but Effi does.

Okay, I have Bjork

and Victoria Hanna...
-No, not yours!

Open the TV,

put on the music channel.
-Okay.

Ah! I just remembered.

He likes music from the movies.

Okay.

Don't worry, I got this.

I'm off to the theater.

To see what?

The property. -Ah.

"Effi opened up"

Hi, Margalit. -Hi.

I have good news.
-Great.

Effi and I won't have to divorce.

Really?
-Largely thanks to you.

Please...

You look troubled.

I'm sick and took a pill,
but after I swallowed it

I realized it's not kosher for Passover.

The pill? -Yes.

Aspirin from matzoh meal?

Rabbi Uzi has vanished.
-Really?

I don't know where he is.
-Ah.

I know where he was two days ago,
if that helps.

What do you mean?

After our conversations,
I scheduled therapy with him.

With Rabbi Uzi? -Yes.

So you were here?

No, he said he'd be in Tel Aviv,

so we said we'd meet here.

Couple's therapy, you and Effi?
-No.

He prepared me for Effi's return.

He prepared you. -Yes.

I did what's written in your book,

I adorned the home
with decorations and scents... -Yes.

Pillows on the floor
for spontaneous situations...

Yes, Chapter 2.

The home was very inviting.

Did you seduce my husband?

No! I...

I was stuck somewhere
and didn't make it. -Ah.

But Effi was here,

I think they talked and got close...

then they did something that...

looks like...

wrestling or something,

the CCTV picked up on it and

their session is recorded.

They really...

worked hard and sweat.

It's odd that the cameras
were aimed at the bed, but there you go.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Tutti.

You don't sound surprised.

I didn't think that would happen anymore.

But the rabbi looks amazing.

I must say, very striking.

Not only compared to a rabbi.

The greater the righteous man,

the greater the inner battle
between good and evil.

I heard that.
-But don't despair.

I can bring the device
to Tel Aviv with the electrodes.

Thanks for the service, but no need.

They're off the rails, Tutti.

They must be guided back
to the virtuous path.

Maybe you should focus
on getting Rabbi Uzi back.

I want that video.

That's not possible.

You want to ruin us?

The Center? The family?

Nope.

I have six children.

From the rabbi?

I don't want the video
for what you think.

It's all in God's hands!

It's just a lesson,
it will sanctify him and empower him.

He seems pretty empowered to me.

He doesn't open his eyes.

Excuse me?

Uzi.

When we're having...

marital relations. -So?

I want to screen the video
on the wall behind me.

Ah! -So he'll open his eyes

and I'll draw his gaze to me.

Clever...
-So we can fully connect.

Nice!

So can I get the video?
-No.

Do a good deed!
-I don't think so.

What do you need it for?
-You're not really asking.

Did Uzi tell Effi where he's going?

No.

I'll come to Tel Aviv to look for him.

Good luck.

Do you want to meet up?

"Organizational counseling"

Ilan Ozer
Connected...

Hi there.

I started dreaming of you at night.

Why?

You appear, vanish...

I thought that perhaps you're not real.

What do you mean?

That you're in a computer game.

You have computer games?

No. -Then how?

I don't know.

I'm real.

How's your wife?

Fine...

Great.

I locked her in the room.

What?

In the bedroom.

When?

This morning.

Early. -Why?

I don't know.

Did she say something?
Do something?

Today? No.

What then?

She got dressed...

to go to the shop... -Yes?

I was at the dining table,

drinking coffee. -And?

I looked at her...
-And...?

There's this dish with...

the keys, on the table.
-Okay.

I took the master key,

the one for the bedrooms, the bathroom...

Whatever.

I closed the door,

locked it.

And...?

Nothing.

"Nothing?"

Silence.

She didn't say anything?
-No.

Do you hear a noise inside?

No.

She went back to sleep.

She's sleeping.

How do you know?

I peeked through the balcony window.

And it's okay
to lock your wife in a room?

What...

I set a boundary.

What boundary?

A door.

I meant behavioral boundaries.

I'm not a psychologist.

When will you open the door?

What's your advice?

Are you mad at her?

No.

I think you're a good couple.

You do? Why?

You understand one another's language.

How's that?

You do harsh things to one another
and accept it.

Maybe you even like it.

Ilan?

Ilan, you're on mute.

I hear you, don't shout.

Did you turn it off then on?

I didn't touch a thing.

Was that your wife?

I can't hear you.

Did your wife walk by?

I don't understand what you're saying.

You don't understand?

Something's wrong on your end.

On my end?
-Your computer's out of order.

Lock me up too...

Cutie... -Okay,

I'm signing off... -Yes?

If you can hear me,

please scan a real invoice,
not from the computer

and write "Organizational counseling".

Alright?

Take care.

"He's cute"

Tutti,

what will I do?

About what?

If "Lachman" shuts down?

You'll find another job.

Darn...

I love being here.

Tell me, the police raid,
what did they ask?

They took tons of stuff.

Besides that?

They took my hard disk.

Did they say anything?

And I said:

Don't touch.

It's in the midst of deleting,

my boss said to delete it.

Did they ask about employees?

I mean, wait for it to finish.

It's two minutes, not half a day,

people work here, they don't play.

Did they ask about "Lachman" employees?

Yes, sure. About all of them.

They asked me about all of them.

Even past employees?

Don't worry,
I didn't tell them you stole the laptop.

I didn't steal a laptop.

No...

of course not.

That you didn't bring back...

I had personal stuff on it.

But I didn't tell.

What else did they take?
-Everything.

The folders from Dror's storeroom?

I don't know
if they know about the storeroom.

We turned it into beautiful lounge.

So charming, with the couch

from Dror's office,

not that crummy mattress.

I don't remember a mattress.

Wow, I miss Oren so much.

When's the last time you saw him?

Last night.
-At the office?

No.

He hasn't been in since this mess.

In the car.
-Ah.

He drove me to my grandma's.

Did he say anything about the police?

He's not allowed to see Dror.

They're not allowed to talk!
-So nothing about me?

She said that Oren is using me.
-Who?

The detective.

That I can file a complaint.

Did you tell him that?

No.

Too bad.

Why?
-Tell him, see how he reacts.

No, he has enough on his mind.

What did you say to the detective?

That he's cute.
-What did she say?

That's two different things.
-What?

The fact that he's cute
and he's using me.

Too bad, think about it.

She gave me her phone number.

The detective?
-Yes.

She's so sweet.

She said: "Any time."

Okay, Liati,
if my name comes up

with the police,
you'll tell me, right?

Yes, sure.

I'll write myself a reminder.

No, remember by heart.
-Okay.

Wow, Tutti,

I'm scared they'll shut "Lachman" down.

What are they saying?
-Nothing.

Ask.

There's no one here.

Maybe they shut down already?

Ah...

The Psychologist

On the next episode

I'm not sure how you feel.

Can you transcribe your feelings for me?

Are you depressed?

Anxious?

Confused?

Where do you stand?
What do you feel?

I feel fine, lots of action.
-Yes?

Effi's going into politics.
-Yes.

There will be tons of focus on us.

That must feel strange.

I can deal with it.

You're confident.

Why wouldn't I be?

I was raised well,
I had a happy childhood.

It's odd you're saying
you had a happy childhood.

Why?
When a child is loved by her parents...

Mom hated you,
you know that.

That depends on how you define it.

Uh...

remember when you had lice?
-Yes.

And Mom bought me this special shampoo
because I had them too...

Yes. -Yes?

And instead of buying some for you,

she shaved your head.
Remember that?

Of course!
It was very effective,

it was excellent.

I don't understand what you're getting at.

Alright, we don't have to dwell.

Did you want something specific?
-Yes,

I need you to sign the accreditation form.

For what?

A therapist. I'm missing the part
where I didn't get treatment.

I need confirmation
from a psychoanalyst,

but you'll do.

Wait, stop right there.

I am a psychoanalyst.

Still?
-Of course.

And what do you need accreditation for?

You provide advice over the phone...

Through a cup with a string, yes.

There's this thing
called the Internet

and patients get treatment online,

that's what I do.
-Okay.

Instead of coming to the office
and busting your balls

just so you'll prescribe a pill.

Uh huh.

For some reason it's illegal
to practice without accreditation, so...

I won't help you get accreditation

to treat weirdos on...

Facebook, by email
or whatever you call it.

Are you tense?

Is it because you live with Mom?

Yes.

I am tense.

Thanks for asking
and this conversation isn't helping.

Uh huh.

Mom has changed,
you may not have noticed.

You're crashing at her place
with your unemployed husband,

you declared bankruptcy,
it can't be easy for her.

No, it's not.

Taking up residence with...

how many kids do you have?

Eight? Ten?

Your toxic attacks
whenever we talk are...

Toxic? I really don't remember.

You keep having babies.

I have four kids, Tutti.

But the youngest is very young,

so I thought there were a few in the middle.

Whatever, Mom's in a weird place,

especially with the kids.
-What do you mean?

This morning she came downstairs

in just her pajama top.

"Just?"
-You heard me!

It was disgusting!
And my Omer was there!

Which one is Omer?
-My eldest.

So how old is he? Twenty?

Fifteen, Tutti.

Not twenty?

And his grandma comes down the stairs

looking like that.

That can be life changing.

I can't let it go on.

Of course not!
So what's the plan?

Smother her with a pillow?
-I thought...

You have tons of drugs,
give her something.

I want to... -What?

Ask you to do something.

Take her in? -Yes.
-For how long?

As long as possible.

One hour?

Is that supposed to be funny?

No, I'm a busy person.

Excuse me, so am I.

I have a practice,
I have patients.

I have four children and a husband.

You can't deal, huh?

Can't you prescribe yourself something?

Your inability to function is stunning.

I can function very well.

Everything's falling apart but me.

I invested all our money
in my husband's art,

it failed,

our son had to leave school,
the tuition's insane

and we didn't get our money back.

He went to school with a knife

and sold pills from those samples you get.

No, Tutti, that's my other son.

That's Ronchu.

So he brought a knife.

Yes, Ronchu brought a knife.

I'm talking about Raz,
he didn't know they're pills.

He's eight,
he thought they're candies

so he sold them to kids
and got expelled, I didn't get a refund

and now I live with Mom
who's behaving like a madwoman.

She must be reacting to your invasion.

I'm asking for such a small favor.
-What?

Get her off my back,

just for the summer.
-Okay...

how about sending her on a cruise
for 2-3 weeks?

How does that sound?

It sounds great,
just get her out of here.

Okay, what about my accreditation?

If I do this,
I insist you have therapy.

Why would you insist on that?

You want to torture us both?
-I just think...

you could benefit from it.
Who knows you better than me?

I can think of one or two people.

I mean real therapy.

Can we do it online?

Driving to the house is a drag.

Sure, but full sessions.

"Full?"
-Fifty minutes.

Twenty.
-Fifty.

Thirty.
-Fifty!

Okay, you win.

Just one request.
-What?

Call me Dr. Levine from now on.
