Holy Rollers (2010) - full transcript
Inspired by a true story of a young Hasidic man who was lured into the world of international drug trafficking in the late 90s.
Excuse me. Are you jewish?
Maybe you want to come inside
and pray, do a mitzvah?
Huh? Sammy. Sammy,
come help the man. Sam.
Happy hanukkah.
You're always welcome.
You're late!
- I know. I know.
- Happy hanukkah to you.
Hmm.
Oh, it's the goylem.
Why didn't you tell me
the horrible goylem was going?
Don't scare me, goylem.
Nothing works in this house.
I know.
I heard you.
Here you go, kvetcher.
Stop kvetching.
Stop kvetching.
Oy!
Move up.
You're one heavy monster,
you goylem.
How's my latkes?
Oh, not so good, unless
you like your food cold.
I need you in the den.
Sure, sure.
Hold on. Hold on.
Mendeleh, it's important.
More important than hanukkah?
All right, all right.
Look what your mameleh
is doing to me.
Tateh, I'll tell you when
the first latke is ready.
Ahh.
That's my bubeleh.
Don't forget, you've got a
lesson with the rebbe tomorrow.
Don't be strict with that.
Two more pages!
Tateh, I know.
Do you want a taste?
I want to meet her.
Please? Just an introduction.
You know you're not allowed
to talk to her yet.
I want to know what she's like.
I have to turn on the lights.
Do your chores.
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.
Ruth, watch your brother.
I will, mama.
Thank you.
Yes. Shmuel.
Don't be intimidated by her.
The lazars are a family.
Maybe they have a few more
dollars than we have.
Maybe they have
a stove that actually works.
They're just a family,
like us, all right?
I see the two children
were playing?
Maybe too much sugar?
Take yankel.
He has to wash his hands.
Zei gezunt.
Go take a walk.
Hi. Happy hanukkah.
I got you a present.
Oh, I'm not so sure!
Lehayim. Lehayim.
You're gonna be
a good rabbi, shmuel.
- One more time.
- Let's try it. Let's see.
Maybe I should continue
to work with you.
Nah. We talked about it.
I could make more gelt
with you.
That's a good idea.
Why? Why is it
such a good idea?
Why? What have I taught you,
shmuel?
He... the man
who immerses himself.
In a desire
for money is always...
Remember that, always...
in debt.
I don't understand
why it's such a bad thing.
To make a little gelt.
Yeah, I don't want to
marry a poor man.
Ah, bubeleh, you'll be lucky.
If any man marries you
with that pisk.
Mendel! Well, she... she...
She has a lot of chutzpah
to talk... okay.
Pass the latkes. Okay.
Every single piece
of fabric that I own.
Comes from this store. I know that.
That's why I'm not profiting on this deal.
Look, ma'am, your daughter
will have a beautiful dress.
Made from the finest silk
in thailand, all right?
You know, I don't even
want to deal with you.
Where's mendel?
Mendel... mendel's not here
right now. I'm sorry.
He's not here? Mendel!
Go to another store on this block.
They deal in cheap, shoddy material.
Mendel!
Look who's here!
Okay, thank you.
Mazel tov. Mazel tov, mendel.
The big girl is turning... what?
Se?orita's 15, 16?
15. 15.
Thank you for remembering.
Now, can you help me out here?
?Qu? pas?? ?Qu? pas??
Nothing pas?.
Look, ma'am, all right,
I'll do 75% silk,
25% rayon for $19 a yard.
I'm sorry. That's it.
Just... just go get it.
Go get it.
Yeah. Go get it.
I hope you'll treat your wife
better than this box.
You let her off too easy,
tateh.
She has money.
She's loyal.
Eh, it's... it's worth
a couple of nickels.
What have I taught you?
Be nice, charge little...
you'll get a lot of customers.
You think gloria's at home
singing about how great you are?
You need to draw a line
somewhere.
Your customers are gonna
walk all over you.
Shmuel gold. What?
This is my store,
and I run it my way.
When you become a rabbi,
I'm not gonna shove my nose
in your business, all right?
Did you get your allowance?
Yeah, mama gave it to me.
Here.
Take it, take it,
take it, take it.
It's a little something extra
between me and you.
Shaynem dank, tateh.
That means you can go
and get your lovers.
Go ahead. Get your lovers.
I'll wait.
If you all
are just tuning in...
Get out of here. Hey.
Get out of here!
Mama, ruth left the bathroom
window open again.
It's freezing. Stop utzing me.
You were supposed to
take the garbage out.
It's shabbos.
And it smells!
Don't let anyone see you,
especially your father!
Huh? Where you going? Thank god
your father's not here to see this.
Don't worry so much, ma!
Wait.
Gut shabbos.
And merry hanukkah to you, too!
There's my samelah.
Did you see the tits
on that girl on tv?
Maybe.
Maybe?
You know they're fake, right?
What do you mean?
Well, sometimes...
What are you doing?
You're smoking on shabbos now?
Yeah, put that out.
It's shabbos.
Dank. You think
he listens to me? Please.
Get it from both sides.
"You think he listens to me?
You think he listens to me?"
No doubt I listen
to my man sammy.
The soon-to-be-married
sammy gold.
Mazel tov. We're gonna be late
for shul. Let's go.
Mazel. Mazel, sammy.
What's her name, huh, sammy?
Vanna? Huh? Vanna white?
No.
You ever see that show?
I made sure he didn't,
thank you very much.
The best show ever! You got to watch it!
It's the greatest!
Ay, shaineh maidel.
Don't stare. Don't stare.
You're the one staring.
I'm not staring.
Hey, sammy, let me ask you...
Do you even know what to do
with a beautiful girl?
The rebbe will tell me.
Gut shabbos. Goodbye.
The rebbe will tell you? Yes.
What's the rebbe
gonna tell you?
The rebbe's not gonna tell you
how to please your wife.
Would you stop it?
Don't listen to him.
He's fine. He's jealous.
What am I jealous of,
leon, huh?
Jealous of marrying a girl
I don't even know?
My tateh says it's time
for us to get married.
We will be happy.
Baruch hashem.
Goodbye. Thank you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
baruch hashem. Very confident.
Mr. Lazar! Hey, mr. Lazar!
Get off of me! Get off of me!
Come on, get off of me,
you fucking fag.
Get off. Get out of here.
Run to shul, little girls.
Go home!
They heard hashem's voice
moving in the garden.
With the wind of day.
The man and his wife
hid themselves from hashem.
Among the trees of the garden.
Hashem called to the man,
And he said, "where are you?"
Did hashem know
where adam was hiding?
Shmuel?
Shmuel?
God being god
knew where adam was hiding,
But the question
is for adam to answer.
All men must answer this.
They must know where they stand.
In relation
to hashem's presence.
Either you move closer...
Or further away.
Your friend is very wise
with the talmud.
He could be a good rabbi.
But we're not here
to talk about leon.
We're here to talk about you.
I think I'd prefer
to work with my father.
I see.
Judaism is about community.
It's about looking outward
to others,
Not just looking inward
at yourself.
Farshteyn. Farshteyn.
I don't want to be a burden
to my family or the community.
Very well. Very well.
I have given my blessing
for the first bashert.
You have?
I pray the meeting
goes in your favor.
You'll be a husband and a father
before you know it.
Thank you, rebbe.
A shaynem dank.
Only then
will you find true joy.
And all this will become clear.
Will you study at the koel?
Yes, well,
I-I work in manhattan now.
I'm not sure about
becoming a rabbi yet.
You like
playing basketball more?
You've seen me? No, no.
No.
No. My tateh
will talk to the rabbi.
They will decide for me.
What job do you do?
I take care of my younger
brothers and sisters.
Oh. That's nice.
How many children?
Five?
No, I want eight.
Eight?
Baruch hashem.
Baruch hashem.
Which yeshiva
would they attend?
Eight? Wow.
Sammy. Come over here
for a second.
It's freezing out, huh?
Yeah.
I'm sorry I gave you shit about
your marriage the other day.
That's okay.
I'm not even married yet.
Yeah.
So, where are you
gonna live, huh?
You gonna live
with your parents?
Mazel, is that a rolex?
Shh, shh!
Leon's a fucking mensch.
You know that.
Working for
the medical business now.
For a doctor?
Yeah, sort of.
You know, uh...
What?
You know, I-I think they, uh...
I think they need another guy,
if you're interested.
If you're looking for some
extra work, it's a good job.
Really? Yeah.
Easiest money you'll ever make.
All-expenses trip to europe...
I mean, you fly anywhere,
really.
Girls, fast cars,
see the world.
I have a job, thank you.
Yeah, I know. I know.
Let me ask you a question.
Who do you think pays the bills
in my house?
'Cause leon doesn't pay
the fucking bills,
I'll tell you that.
I mean, you got groceries,
electric bill, mortgage.
My fucking mother
doesn't pay the mortgage.
You do?
I do.
What happens
when you and young vanna.
Want to have a few kinder
of your own?
I work with my father, yosef.
Yeah.
Women like shiny things.
You know what time it is?
It's fake titty time.
Think about it, all right?
Page me later.
Come on. I'll race you.
Come on.
So, tell me what happened.
Well,
she was more nervous than me.
Did her parents
say anything yet, or...?
No, not yet. No?
Oh, oh, what were you and yose
talking about before?
Nothing, nothing.
His new business.
Yose doesn't have a business.
Well, he offered me a job.
Are you meshugga?
You work for yosef?
Yeah, he offered me $1,000
to import medicine from europe.
Maybe I should do it for zeldy.
That doesn't make sense.
There's no medicine work
that type of gelt.
No, no, it's special.
It's... it's for rich people.
But, listen, I won't go
unless you go with me.
Why didn't he ask me?
I've never been to europe.
That's where
our grandparents came from.
Oh, I got it, mama. I got it.
No, no.
No, no. Hey. Stop, stop, stop.
Don't hurt yourself.
All right, here.
Go tell your tateh that yankel
should be in bed already.
One second. There we go.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Mama, something's wrong.
Tell me.
Nothing. It's the stove.
Mama.
Go get your father.
What's the matter?
Just... he made me a promise.
The lazars have started
to look for another marriage.
I'm sorry, my boychik.
And the old lady said...
"thank
you for not stealing the apples!
Thank you for asking!"
And she gave him
a whole basket.
Now, the tired traveler...
and he wasn't just a traveler.
Remember, he was a rabbi.
He was famous.
He was a miracle maker.
Have you heard any news?
Shh. He said to the...
to the lady... he said...
Tateh... Why won't
they let her marry me?
Is it because of our family?
Just... just keep on studying,
okay?
Just keep on studying.
Don't worry.
Focus on your studies.
We'll find you a good bride.
Okay. All right?
Come. Pray with your brother
and me.
Uh, no.
No. I have a cold.
I don't want him to catch it.
Fuck! What the fuck
is he doing here?!
No, he comes with me.
What the fuck
is he doing here?!
Get out of here.
Get out of here.
Don't tell me what to do.
Yosef, if he doesn't go,
I don't go.
I told you not to tell anybody.
Go home, leon.
Trust me... go home.
Do you want me to tell mommy?
Go home!
Stop it!
He comes with me, yosef.
What the fuck are you looking
at, you fucking shvartzes?
Turn around, fool.
All right.
All right.
All right, all right.
All right.
Okay. Relax. Let's go.
Okay?
Fuck!
He's a nice guy, right?
Are you kidding me?
He's the best.
We can trust him?
Of course. He's jewish.
All right. Wait here.
Don't touch anything.
He looks nervous.
Maybe he doesn't like doctors.
Jackie?
Is jackie in his office?
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god. I love your hats.
Thank you.
They're so amazing.
I... oh.
No, no, no, no, no.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
You're not supposed to touch it.
Slut.
Jackie? Hi.
Ugh. Not good.
It's disgusting. Ugh.
Right.
This is the guy
I was telling you about.
My brother and sammy gold.
Okay.
He loved you. He loved you.
He loved you!
- Elka!
- One second!
Who was it who called for you?
The rebbe personally
from atlantic city.
- Suggested that we go.
- This is for you.
It might be hard
to find glatt kosher.
Shaynem dank. Thank you.
Thank you, mama.
Well, what more can I say?
I mean, the fact that
the atlantic city rebbe.
Asked for you in person...
that's... that's a big honor.
I'm so proud of you boys.
Big honor.
Your father
would be very proud.
You have everything?
Well, go, go.
May I have your attention,
please?
Hi. Uh, that's my seat.
Excuse me.
And as soon as we reach
our cruising altitude,
A cold meal and a variety
of drinks will be served.
We'll fall asleep right away.
You enjoy the flight?
It was okay.
Listen to me very closely,
okay, boys?
I have two things for you.
One is an envelope with cash
and your itinerary in it.
The other is a piece of paper.
When you get off the jetway,
I want you to follow signs
that say "taxi," okay?
Get in line, get into the taxi,
give them the piece of paper.
You're gonna go to the hotel,
you're gonna check in,
And you're gonna wait for me
to call, all right?
Okay. Good.
Where are you going?
I'll be back.
I'll call you later.
Yose.
This is mokem.
It's no safe haven.
What? Let me see yours.
You look like
you're 10 years old here.
This looks nothing like you.
Yes, it does.
You look like you're 10.
Should we page your brother?
He said he'd call.
- Come on, boys!
- It's your uncle yosef!
Come on.
We're gonna miss your flight.
Oy vey.
This is a waste of time.
Hello, hello.
Hello. You all right?
Yeah. Good.
Listen, we'll see more
of amsterdam next trip, okay?
Let's go over
what I talked about.
I know. You told us already.
You'll be waiting
in terminal 9 parking lot.
With your friend, the goy.
Good, good.
And you travel alone.
You do not know me, and you
do not know each other.
What?
What do you mean?
Why don't we know each other?
You just don't know each other.
It's that simple.
The most important thing
to remember, though...
Do not open your bag
for anybody.
Because of the medicine?
Right, leo,
because of the medicine.
Yeah. What's wrong
with the medicine, yosef?
There's nothing wrong
with the medicine, okay?
What's medicine here might not
mean "medicine" there.
What's medicine there might not
mean "medicine" here.
Farshteyn?
No, not farshteyn.
What's wrong with the medicine?
Yose, yose,
could we get in trouble?
Guys, guys, calm down.
Don't worry so much.
Just think of it as a game.
No one is getting in trouble,
And no one
is gonna suspect a thing.
I promise.
And the medicine is untraceable.
It's like aspirin.
The customs agent
isn't looking for you,
And they're not looking
for the medicine.
Now, they may ask you
some simple questions,
And you reply
with simple answers.
Brussels to montreal
to get here?
Family business.
The most important thing
is this...
Relax, mind your business,
and act jewish.
Load the bag, please.
You load the fucking bags.
They did all the work.
Have a little respect
for my little brother.
Your brother?
You get your brother to smuggle
drugs? That's great.
Drugs? Drugs?
What... what dru...
what are you talking about?
Yose, what drugs?! I knew it.
I knew it. Drugs?
You said, "medicine."
In the car, in the car.
All right, come on.
Shut the fuck up.
Get in the fucking van.
Get in the fucking van.
Get off... ow!
No, no, don't touch my jacket.
I never heard jews complain
so much about making money.
Jesus christ.
Fucking idiot. Fuck.
You know,
jews have been smuggling.
For thousands of years.
Talk to the rebbe.
It will be fine.
What did you say?
Whoa!
Listen to me. Yosef.
I get in trouble,
you get in trouble.
If I don't get in trouble, nobody
gets in trouble, okay? Yosef!
All right, leon? All right?
Get off me, sam!
All right? Who's gonna...
who you gonna tell?
Huh? Who you gonna tell?
Nobody! Nobody!
Come on. Nobody. That's right.
Get the fuck out already.
Sammy, let's go.
- Sam, come on.
- Okay.
Sammy, hold on. Hold on.
I told you not to tell
my little brother.
You did a good job, though.
You did a really good job.
If you want to come out with us,
page me later, all right?
Page me later!
What are you looking at,
you fucking polack?
Sorry I got you into this.
You didn't get me into anything.
We didn't know.
Just... Give
the money back, okay?
Yeah, I will, I will, I will.
Okay. I won't tell anyone.
I promise.
I- I'm ashamed.
Well, we didn't know, leon.
It just happened.
We didn't know.
We didn't know. Yeah.
We should have!
We didn't know, leon.
- Look at leon.
- He's such a good...
Oh, fuck leon.
Try to help
the ones you love, right?
You tell the old man
about the cash?
They don't exactly know yet,
but thank you.
That's a good thing.
Yeah.
Hey, yosef.
Leon's not talking to me.
He's not?
Yeah, I'm heartbroken.
You know, I think I'm getting
out of here for a while.
I'm gonna go over to jackie's.
You should come.
I told him how good of a job
you did.
He wants to meet you.
He wants to meet me?
Yeah. So,
consider yourself invited.
Hey, yosef? Tell me the truth
about the pills.
I won't tell anybody.
I promise.
They're harmless.
Yeah?
I promise. Okay.
You know where to find me.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- I think I ordered a brunette.
Oh, that's funny.
I didn't think
I ordered a hasid.
Do you want to go back
to where you came from?
Fuck you.
Hi. Jackie.
All right.
Rachel, this is sammy.
Sammy, this is rachel.
Rachel. Nice to meet you.
Oh, no, thank you. No offense.
It's out of respect for you.
I have no respect for you.
Here. Take my jacket.
Oh, fuck you. Welcome.
Please make yourself at home.
Yosef, I think
I've actually met her before.
Yeah, maybe in your wet dreams.
You remember andrew.
That's tabitha.
She's the hottest model
in France.
Say hi, tabitha.
That was a long "hi."
Uh, what else do we got?
I have no idea who
the fuck these people are,
But they're a lot of cool jews,
So it's a good thing for us.
Jackie, you got company!
A lot of cool jews here,
sammy... a lot of cool jews.
One goy... forget about him.
God does.
Yosef!
Come here. By yourself.
All right.
Yosef.
Hi.
Hi.
Looks like you could
use a friend.
Do you want a drink?
Uh, no, thank you.
Loosen up a little.
How old are you?
Um, 20 years.
20 years?
Is that, like,
opposed to days and months?
- Excuse me.
- It's my age.
Jackie is a really lucky guy.
Thank you.
Is there anything I can get
you here or somewhere else?
You look so wound up.
I just want you to relax.
I'm relaxed. I'm fine.
Thank you.
Why don't you taste this?
It's delicious.
He's had it forever.
Thank you. I'm not tasting it.
It's really good.
It's better aged.
You want to take
your jacket off?
'Cause they're gonna be
a while, so...
You don't have to
be so nervous.
I'm not gonna rat you out
to your rabbi or anything.
Are you jewish?
Well, I dropped out
of hebrew school,
So I don't know if that counts.
She talk your ear off yet?
Does it count?
I want you
to meet somebody, sammy.
Hi, baby.
Hi, baby. Are you sam?
Oh.
Mr. Solomon. Nice to meet you.
Mr. Solomon, nice to meet you.
Come here. I want to talk
to you for a second.
Uh, baby, show yose
where he's sleeping.
Have a seat.
Thank you, mr. Solomon.
Jackie... call me "jackie.
" thank you, jackie.
You work on delancey
and orchard.
Is that correct? Uh, yeah.
You know I used to work there?
You worked there?
Yeah, I hated that block...
ever since the chinks.
And the fucking "f" train
over there sucks.
What are you, a 10?
You look like you're about a 10.
There you go.
This is for you, sam.
Try them on.
Now? Yeah, try them on.
Does your mom know
about the medicine, sam?
It's called ecstasy,
and it's illegal.
I mean, what's illegal?
In israel, advil's illegal.
The most important thing
you need to know, sam...
It's not addictive,
it's actually therapeutic.
It actually helps people
open up their emotions.
You know, yose told me
what a great job you did.
Go ahead. Try them on.
Mr. Solomon,
I-I work with my father.
I know you work
with your father, sam,
But you have to
understand something.
We're talking about
a lot of money here.
I'm willing to offer you
$1,500 a trip.
Plus I'll give you $200 for
every carrier you find me...
Plus all expenses paid.
Do they fit? Yeah.
Good. They look great.
You know,
I really like you, sam.
I like you, too,
mr. So... jackie.
Always call me "jackie."
I will.
One second.
Shmuel.
Come in.
Where were you?
I had a job interview.
Job? What job interview?
No, don't worry.
It was with a very nice man.
He's israeli.
He imports all sorts of
pricy goods from europe.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You... you work in the store.
You study.
I thought it would be a good
idea to make some extra gelt.
Why? Why? Why?
Why is it so important for you
with the whole money issue?
I did a good job.
Is there something
you want to tell me, shmuel?
You shouldn't miss dinner.
Sorry.
Stop!
Sam!
I have something for you.
I want you to put it on.
It's italian.
Do you like designer clothes?
Yes, yes. Thank you.
Also, give this to your mom
when you get home, okay?
Okay. What did you get
for yourself?
Come on, baby.
Is, uh... is yosef coming back?
- Don't worry about yosef.
- Get dressed.
We're going out tonight.
We're in fucking amsterdam.
You look good. Thank you.
Are you nervous? No.
No.
Hey, what's up?
What are you doing?
Hi. How are you?
Nice to see you.
What are you doing?
What are you doing? Come on.
Meet me in the bathroom, girls.
Everything's upstairs.
I want to go back
to the apartment.
They're just having fun.
Take me back to the apartment.
Well, I can't.
I'm supposed to babysit you.
I can babysit myself,
thank you very much.
You can't babysit yourself.
You know what?
You should go back inside.
You should
go have some more fun.
Sam, give me your fucking coat.
I'm freezing.
Just give it to me, please.
I'm cold.
Ooh. That's soft.
How do you feel?
I feel fine.
You're acting very strange.
I feel amazing.
Oh, my god.
I think I see our apartment.
What? Where?
I do. I see it. I see it.
Come here.
You have to get really close
to see it, though.
Can you see it now?
No.
Jackie likes you.
Where's the apartment?
He really likes you a lot,
you know, 'cause you're not...
You're not like the other guys,
I mean, because...
It's like you're pure
or something, you know?
I think I should
talk more or less.
I can't tell.
Are you homesick?
I want to go sit down.
Okay.
Okay.
Come here.
Come here, sweetie.
No.
Shit.
Oh, my god.
Fucking amazing.
I think that
this is the softest jacket...
In the entire universe.
It's wool with cashmere.
My god.
Do this slower... like, slower.
You okay?
I'm great. Perfect.
How are you?
Let's do this.
Give me the suitcase.
Oh, have the kid
bring the cash.
What?
Have the kid bring
the fucking cash. Let's go.
Let's go.
Leave the bitch in the car.
Come on.
No.
Sorry. She's fine.
Hide your hard-on, will you?
Don't fuck up and don't
say anything, all right?
What am I supposed to do?
Just don't say anything,
all right?
Looking for ephraim.
I need 50,000 pills
boxed and sealed now.
Let's go!
If I find
one fucking pill missing,
I'm gonna chop
your fucking hands off!
Stay close.
There's my meshugga.
What's up, ephraim?
How you doing?
Hey, what's going?
Who's the bar mitzvah boy?
He's just my new guy.
Don't worry about it.
Well, new guy, let me show you
what we do here.
This operation here...
This thing's capable of
producing 300 pills a minute,
Over 100,000 an hour.
What's with the machine guns?
Oh, you know, got raids,
killings, you know.
I didn't hear anything.
Yeah, I had to go up
on everything...
Production, security, prices.
You know, I have to raise up
on that friends-and-family code.
What do you mean?
I'm already paying $2 a pill.
What the fuck does
it cost them... 20 cents?
What it costs?
Don't worry about what
it costs me, all right?
This is a business.
This is not a club.
You better not
be fucking me, ephraim.
What did I just say, jack?
Are you deaf?
I got guys pounding down my door
for this stuff.
No, you don't. You got me,
and you fucking know it.
I'm the only motherfucker that's
bringing this shit into new york.
I got other people, all right?
Yeah, but I'm the best,
And there's nobody better
than my guys.
Ohh.
Sam, get yose out of here.
Jackie, can I talk to you
for a second?
Not now. Get him out of here.
Jackie, it's important...
please.
What's going on?
Don't worry about it.
One second. Excuse me.
What, you got to go to
the bathroom or something?
No. Look, with
his new machines,
The supply is going up,
So the prices
should not be going up.
Yeah?
Yeah, well, if you know that,
everybody knows that.
Look, you need me,
and you know it.
I'm gonna do you
a fucking favor here.
I'm not gonna walk away.
So, I'm just gonna take my
original deal, and that's that.
Oh. Well, I-I don't think
you understand.
What's going on here,
So why don't you take
your sick friend.
And stop wasting
my fucking time?
Really? Yes, really.
Like that? Yes.
All right. Then I'm getting
the fuck out of here.
All right, let's go.
Wait. Sir... sam!
Sir, assuming
one of your machines.
Is operating 24 hours a day
for 7 days a week,
It can produce more than
1.4 million pills a week.
You need to keep
those pills moving.
We can help you do that.
Now, if one of your buyers finds
out that your supply is greater,
He's gonna cut his prices.
Word is gonna spread,
and people will talk.
Hi. How you doing?
Okay.
I never thanked you
for yesterday.
You said some pretty good shit.
Oh. Well, I spoke out of turn.
Yeah. Yeah.
In the future,
you should probably,
You know, shut your mouth.
Okay.
Yeah. You got to be careful.
This is some serious shit.
I know. Okay. Okay?
You know, you don't
want to get too smart.
What do you mean?
You don't want to
get too smart.
You know, 'cause jackie...
oh, jackie.
Yeah. Okay.
I mean, he loves you now,
but you never know.
He could drop you any second.
Really? Yeah.
Okay. All right.
Don't get too smart.
You know, just a tip.
Thank you, and I'm sorry.
Sorry? No,
you don't have to apologize.
You did a great job. Okay.
I mean, you could have
got us all killed.
But you did a great job.
Okay.
Just remember
who brought you in.
You did.
Okay. All right.
Sam!
Sam!
Jackie. How are you?
Good to see you.
So, this is it?
This is where
you've been working?
Uh... Tateh,
this is mr. Solomon.
Mr. Gold, jackie solomon.
A pleasure to meet you.
You know, I never appreciated
working with my dad.
Until he was gone, sam.
Well, hopefully,
shmuel knows better than that.
Oh, I'm sure he does.
He's been a great help
to my business.
He was? Yes, incredible.
Not so great.
Oh, no, he's one
of the smartest kids I know.
And I'm sure he's gonna make
a great rabbi.
I mean, that's the goal, right?
Shmuel's been working for you?
Well, a little bit, just lately.
He's been doing a great job.
I enjoy working
with mr. Solomon.
And I enjoy working with sam.
He's been great.
If there's anything that you
ever need, just give me a call.
Yes. Sure.
I'll see you guys later.
It's too much, shmuel!
Shmuel! Tateh, it's fine!
No, this is... no!
You don't listen!
Usually we recruit
in three neighborhoods...
Williamsburg, crown heights,
borough park.
Try to avoid groups.
Look for stragglers,
young families...
People that need extra money and
won't ask too many questions.
You know what I'm saying?
Just sell it.
Sammy gold, the salesman.
You're a good salesman,
right, sammy gold?
Show time.
You all right?
Yeah.
You're all right. You'll get it.
Watch the master.
Excuse me, sir.
How are you? How are you doing?
Listen, I have a golden
opportunity for you.
How are you?
Let me ask you a question.
Are you from around here?
What are you in a rush for?
Oy, ziggy, talk to your boss.
Boys, come here.
Give me a hand.
Take the children inside.
Can I help you?
Uh, no. Thank you.
This is so heavy.
Vartn.
If you could help my wife...
Shalom aleichem.
Ma'am, have you ever
been to europe?
Wait, the bear... wait, wait.
The bear and the rabbit
shit in the woods.
Okay, hold on. I know, I know,
I know. Hold on. They can wait.
The bear and the rabbit
shit in the woods.
The rabbit... the bear turns
to the rabbit and says, "hey."
Hold on one second.
Can you hold on one second?
The... the bear
says to the rabbit,
"hey, have you shit
here before?"
And then the...
What the fuck are you
talking about, seriously?
These are fucking andrew's guys
from brighten.
They pay $40 a fucking pill.
Watch the way
I handle these guys.
All right, cool.
Yeah, yeah, cool. Cool.
I hope you guys are not wasting
my fucking time here.
That was bullshit.
He had us going over bridges.
And through tunnels in
the fucking mystery machine.
You mean brooklyn? Really?
I don't know
about the other customers,
But we got a lot of money.
Cool out, man.
Yeah, what's up with your boys,
andrew, seriously?
Hey, bro, I got like 20 bitches.
That are ready for this shit,
so let's get it on.
Who are these characters you got
working for you? What's that?
Hi, boys.
That's why you don't
buy drugs from a jew.
What the fuck did you say,
bitch?
It's unprofessional.
Unprofessional?
Well, excuse me for being
un-fucking-professional, andrew.
Come here. Come here.
Go ahead. No, no, no, no!
No? All right, hold on.
I'll be back.
Jackie, hey.
I'm almost ready to lock up.
Is it all here? Yeah.
Okay, good. Good job. Thank you.
Sam, turn around, please.
Yeah.
Hey, sam? Yeah?
I need you to do me a favor.
I need you to take
some of my cash to europe.
When are you leaving?
Uh, we could do, uh, Sunday
first thing, no problem.
Sunday is good.
Me and rachel are leaving
tomorrow morning,
So that makes sense.
All right. But we're going out
tonight. You want to come?
Jackie, it's shabbos.
I can't go out.
- That's right.
- It is shabbos.
I forgot. I got to call my mom.
Hi, mama.
Shabbat shalom.
Jackie. Hey, jackie.
Okay, I love you, too, mama.
Okay. Okay, I love you.
I got to go.
Shabbat shalom. Jackie.
Bye. See...
What are you doing?
I got my mother that new stove.
I got to go.
Wish her shabbat shalom.
She'll like that.
Thanks, jackie.
Shabbat shalom.
Shabbat shalom.
Really? Thank you very much.
Tateh!
Mama!
What's wrong?
We don't want it.
Shmuel! Shmuel!
What?
You're ruining our family.
I don't need this from you
right now! Go to yeshiva!
You're ruining our family!
I don't need this from you!
How can you do this?! Stop it!
Zeldy! Zeldy! Zeldy!
Stop it!
Zeldy's marrying someone else!
What? You don't deserve her.
What? Who is she marrying?
He's a good man.
He's going to be a rabbi.
Who is it?! Tell me who it is!
Leon.
You know, amsterdam used to be
called new jerusalem,
And new york used to be called
new amsterdam.
Really? Yeah.
Well, now amsterdam
is fucking disneyland.
For fat and faggot americans.
You're a fat
and faggot american.
Really? I'll have sex
with you right now.
To prove that I'm not a faggot.
Hey! Fuck you.
What the hell's
wrong with you?!
No. I'm being polite.
You tired, sam?
It was a long flight, right?
No, I'm okay.
You know, the anne frank house
is here, as well.
I'd like to see that. I know.
I've tried to go twice.
And both times
the line was too long.
That's 'cause you were stoned.
Sammy boy, good job.
See this town?
I run this fucking town, buddy.
I know.
This town? I hate this town.
Any questions?
- No.
- Good.
Don't worry.
Nothing bad is gonna happen.
You're both very smart people.
Does this medicine
really help people?
You're doing a mitzvah
for your family.
You should both be very proud.
Here. Try this on.
It's heavy.
Don't touch it.
Come on. We're gonna
miss your flight.
Please. We need a moment alone.
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
Make it quick.
Sheep follow sheep.
I'm not a sheep, rebbe.
I don't know what that means.
It means there are rumors.
Spreading in the community
about you.
I import garments wholesale.
Your good friend leon
is very concerned.
I've not spoken to leon
for a long time.
I travel.
People get ideas...
their imagination.
Tell yosef I would like to
talk to him... clear this up.
Absolutely.
When... if I see yosef,
I will tell him.
Absolutely.
Did you really give your
blessing to the lazar family?
I came to ask the questions
tonight, young shmuel.
Be careful.
The imagination
is very dangerous.
You have two bags.
Okay.
All right, I'll be right back.
Then on the 1st, pay for...
Hi. No, don't worry.
I got it. Put your money away.
I got it. What are you getting?
There... right there.
There you go.
Don't worry, my friend.
I'm one of you. It's okay.
I think that's debatable.
Take the bag to the truck.
I'll be right there.
Keep your head down.
Stay away from my boy, shmuel.
Why would the lazars
agree to you?
You don't have any money.
You don't even have a father
to work for.
It's not about the money...
never.
They want a shepherd
to protect her from the wolves.
Mazel tov.
I'm sure your father's
very proud.
Leon.
Hey, leon.
Hey.
Cast your burden on hashem,
and he will sustain you.
Hey, come here!
Hey, leon! Where you going?!
Baby brother, I got you
a present! Come here!
Yosef.
Sam, get in the car.
Let's go.
- Straighten out.
- Yeah.
All right, look straight.
If two people drive,
There are too many cooks in the kitchen.
Just go straight.
Pull up right over next to that
building right there, okay?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
stop, stop, stop!
Brake, brake, brake, brake!
Oh, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa! Wrong!
Put it in park. Sorry.
Geez.
My god, I saw my life
flash before my eyes.
Sorry.
I got to start wearing
this seat-belt thing.
You really should.
All right, here we go.
Don't touch anything,
all right?
All right.
Can I turn the radio on? No.
There he is... the bald wonder.
Yo, yo!
Yosef, yosef. How are you?
Good. How are you?
I think I'm getting a cavity.
You're tuned in
to stretch armstrong.
I'm feeling good.
New york city,
what is going on?
Move over.
Take 50 g's out
and give jackie the rest.
$50,000? For what?
Laundering. That's my fee.
Your fee? What...
what are you charging them?
What do you mean,
how much I'm charging them?
These men are... I charge them
what I charge them.
Okay. Wait. So,
does jackie know about them?
What did I tell you
about jackie?
What?
Don't get too smart.
Don't get too smart.
Jackie doesn't need to know.
He doesn't... he doesn't
appreciate a smarty.
Like I appreciate a smarty.
Thank you.
You want to get some pizza?
Yeah. I'm starving.
Let's do it.
Hey, can I drive
on the way back?
No!
I want...
I want to give a toast.
Uh...
Yosef.
Yosef, I want to make a toast.
To good business and good
friends, in that order.
Cheers. Lehayim.
Lehayim. Lehayim.
Lehayim, sam.
Lehayim, sam.
Mmm, mmm!
Okay.
Sam, have you ever had sushi?
Uh, no.
This is some
smoked-salmon sushi.
It's like, um... it's like lox.
Okay. We'll baruch over this.
Just try it.
Okay. I can feed myself,
thank you.
Okay. Mmm.
Who wants more? Mmm.
It's good, right?
Yeah, I'll have another one,
honey, please.
I think I like it better
with the bagel.
Jackie!
It's good to see you.
I haven't seen you
in a long time.
That's it. Nice to see you.
Yosef.
What? Oh, hey.
How you been? How you doing?
Take care of that cavity?
Lehayim. Lehayim.
Enjoy, everybody.
Sam!
Come on.
Please? It's okay.
This is the best medicine ever.
Shabbat
is a state of mind, pal.
Sometimes my eyes
go out of focus.
And then back in focus.
There it goes again.
Can we stop for a second
so I can trip for a minute?
Yeah, please?
Jackie, pull over real quick,
will you?
Come on, pull over real quick?
Pull over real quick.
I got to show sammy something.
Sammy, grab your sneakers.
What are we doing?
What do you mean?
Why do I need my shoes?
What happens next can only
be described as tragic.
And the sons of aaron,
nadav and avihu,
Each took his fire pan,
placed within it fire,
And placed incense upon it.
And they offered
a strange fire before hashem,
One that he did not
command of them,
And the fire came forth
before hashem and devoured them,
And they died before hashem.
Elka! There you go.
Elka! Okay, I'm coming!
I'm coming!
You still like me, right?
Have I kept you all waiting?
Come here.
Don't worry about it.
Ruth, you look so lovely.
Boychik.
Come, yankel. Let's go.
Are we ready? Yes.
Shall we?
Mazel tov! Mazel tov!
Mazel tov! Mazel tov!
I talked to the rabbe today.
I talked to the rabbe, too.
We had a good conversation.
Shmuel?
Yeah?
Sit down.
Uh, actually, tateh,
I have to go somewhere. Sorry.
I said, "sit down!"
You lied to him, didn't you?
Who?
The rabbe.
No. I didn't lie. No.
No one is lying, tateh.
You didn't lie? No.
Ay, ay, ay, ay.
Tateh, I didn't do anything.
When my rabbi comes to my house
looking for a gun,
I have a criminal in my house.
Tateh, what did he tell you?
What did the rabbe tell you?
We have to hide you
from the community.
You don't have to hide me from
anybody. I didn't do anything.
We have to hide you from your little brother.
Stop. I didn't do anything.
Why, shmuel?
I didn't do anything wrong,
tateh.
Why? Huh?
Tateh, I have to go.
You are a liar.
You are a criminal.
You're not my son.
Don't say that.
Don't say that. Tateh...
I can't look at you.
No. No.
Tateh, please look at me.
Look at me!
Shmuel, please go away!
Go away!
Go away from my house,
you understand me?!
Go away!
Hi. Come on in.
Now, when you land,
Make sure no one
checks your belongings.
That's simple. That's easy.
Somebody asks you a question,
You simply give them
a simple answer.
Most importantly, though,
relax, okay?
Have a good time.
Mind your business
and act jewish.
You look beautiful.
You look beautiful, too.
Yose...
You not so much.
You missed
your brother's wedding.
My brother's
none of your business.
This is your business.
All right?
Mm.
Yosef, we don't have time.
The kids are gonna be waiting.
We're gonna miss the flight.
Ah, we're not gonna
miss the flight.
The kids can wait two minutes.
Look, jackie knows
you're skimming, yosef.
Jackie knows about these guys.
I can't keep hiding these
side deals in the book any more.
All right?
All right?
I'm gonna tell jackie.
Will you shut the fuck up
about jackie?
All right.
You shouldn't be doing this.
Just... be right back.
Okay.
Yosef...
Hey.
You said you'd be alone.
Who the fuck is this?
I said I'd be alone.
Ivan, hi. How are you?
Can I have my money, please?
I am in a rush. I got to go.
Yeah. Here's the deal...
our buyers...
They want a bigger cut,
- Or they'll go elsewhere.
- Okay. Come on, yosef.
Well, guy, I need my money
or my pills right now.
Mm-hmm. Okay.
We got your money.
It's on...
it's on the tab, right?
Yeah. It's small change.
You got to look
at the big picture.
100,000 superman pills...
that's worth $250,000.
I want that right now.
What the fuck is going on
right now?
Hello?! It's on our tab.
Shut the fuck up,
you understand me?!
Yosef. No, no.
I have given you
100,000 superman pills!
No! That's $250,000!
What the fuck are you doing?!
Yosef! Yosef!
Yosef, come on! Yosef!
Hey, hey, hey,
your girlfriend's running away.
Yosef! Yosef, yosef!
Empty all your pockets...
all of them.
Really. It's easy to forget.
We all do. It doesn't mean
you're not smart.
Empty all of your pockets.
You see? It's easy. Come on.
Come on. What are you doing?
Why are we flying from brussels.
To montreal to get to new york?
Is that route
a problem for you?
You said you wanted
to make money.
I'll be back in 24 hours
with the medicine.
But what if there is
an emergency?
An emergency?
Call the front desk. Dial 9.
Where are you going?
You lost the pills, the money.
You want this?
Fucking unbelievable.
Oh, hi, sam.
Where's my money, yosef?
Nice haircut.
Uh, we have company, by the way.
Get off the phone.
Enough already!
Put it somewhere!
Yeah, he just walked in.
I'll deal with it.
Fucking piece of shit.
All right, just call me later.
Yeah, call me later. Okay, bye.
She gets
very emotional sometimes.
Yes. Yeah, I know.
I know she does.
Your flight was good?
Oh, it was okay.
Family's good?
Uh, my family...
My family.
We need to talk, sam.
I want you to meet me
at the netherworld club.
Around 5:00 a. M.
I'll come with you
right now, jackie.
No.
I'll see you later.
Don't be fucking late.
Sam, I need you.
Uh, I'm busy.
I'm not asking!
Okay.
What?
What do you think?
Um, it's very
high-quality silk.
So, you hate it?
I don't hate it.
I think you look beautiful.
Okay.
He's so shitty
to people sometimes.
Who?
Jackie.
Oh. Yeah.
Did he say anything about me?
Sam? Yeah?
Do you want to run away
with me?
What?
Do you want to run away
with me?
Yeah. Yeah.
You do?
Yeah.
Do you want to have babies
with me?
Yes. Yeah. How many children?
10.
Okay. That's a lot.
Or less.
Where... um, where will they
go to school?
We could homeschool them.
You can teach them hebrew.
And I'll teach them
something else really important.
I could teach you hebrew.
That's really important.
Okay. Well,
teach me some hebrew.
You know "shalom"?
Everybody knows "shalom."
Okay. Um...
Um... You should
learn a prayer.
Do you want to learn a prayer?
I think we look pretty good
together, don't we?
Sorry. Thank you.
It's okay.
Your dress is very nice.
I'm sorry.
I should have said that.
You don't want to kiss me?
And then I should maybe...
Look over my books.
Why don't you want to kiss me?
Okay. I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Okay. No, no.
Mm.
Mm. Slow.
Okay. Okay.
Okay. Thank you.
I'm gonna go to...
I'm gonna go to the other room.
I'm just gonna see this.
Shalom.
You must be mr. Maxim.
I'm rachel.
Nice to meet you.
Jackie.
Gorgeous. Do you guys
need anything?
Hey, jackie?
Ladies.
Let's go.
Come on. Let's go.
Am I okay?
Yeah, you're fine.
Jackie. Hey, jackie.
You okay? Hmm?
Yeah, he's fine,
and she's fine, too.
Jackie, come on. It's okay.
Your friends
brought what I want?
Actually, we only deal with pure m.
D.M.A. You know that, right?
These kids nowadays... they want
heroin, speed, special k,
Whatever else
is cut into this shit.
Sounds like a rave.
You like to party,
huh, beautiful?
What about those sniffing dogs?
They can't smell that shit?
Hey, chill, please. All right?
Let's be professional.
Don't embarrass yourself.
Okay.
So, how do you transport it?
Sam, please explain to mr. Maxim
how we transport it.
We use hasidic kids...
young hasidic kids, couriers.
I've heard of this.
Ultra-orthodox jews...
What, do they think
they're smuggling diamonds?
Uh, actually,
medicine for rich people.
This is your young
business partner?
No, no, no, no, no.
He works for me.
Hey, this is my operation.
Actually, no, we are.
We are partners.
What the fuck
are you talking about?
This is funny, ephraim,
and that's not funny.
Get me a pack of cigarettes, please.
All right.
Mr. Maxim, I think we should talk numbers.
What do you think?
Get me a fucking
pack of cigarettes!
No, no, no. Okay, sam.
Let's talk numbers.
Now!
I'm sorry about that,
mr. Maxim.
You're very aggressive, hmm?
Excuse me.
Hey. Hey.
Are you okay?
Well, I'm not getting
his fucking cigarettes.
Okay.
Do you want to
come back inside, or...
No, I don't.
I was thinking
we should go to lithuania.
What do you think?
Sam, I don't even know
where lithuania is.
My grandmother lives there,
all right?
And I never met her.
My dad... she's like us.
Sam.
No, I think
we make a cute couple.
You're just a...
Child, sweetie.
And how old are you?
How old are you?
Rachel, he's gonna drop you!
Yosef told me
jackie is gonna drop you.
Fuck you! Sorry.
You don't know
anything about us,
So why don't you
keep your mouth shut?!
Yes, I do. Yes, I do.
Yosef told me
jackie is paranoid,
And if you get smart,
if you get too smart,
He's gonna drop you. Sorry.
You know what?
You're the one that's paranoid.
If you want to come back inside,
fucking come back inside.
Sir. What?
Are you jewish? What?
You are jewish, no?
Yeah, of course.
Did you put on a tefillin today?
No, I didn't. I'm traveling.
I forgot.
Oh, that's...
that's why you look so down.
You know, we must never forget.
We have to renew the spot,
you know?
Yeah. Do a mitzvah.
Here. Where are you from?
You're from... you're from new york?
Yeah.
I have family in, uh,
brooklyn... crown heights.
Really?
You've heard
of the rabbi king messiah?
Yeah, of course.
What are you, a chabad?
Yes, of course.
Wherever there is coca-cola,
there is chabad.
Thank you.
Put this on.
Thank you.
And now we say, "baruch."
Very cold today.
Yeah.
Can I use my hat?
Yeah, you can use yours.
Ah. Thank you.
Say...
Very good.
Excuse me.
Please put... no, it's okay.
Please put down bags...
both bags. Thank you.
Your coat is fine.
Put your bags down.
Uh, yeah.
Are you traveling alone, sir?
No.
So, you're with these people?
Yes.
Are you carrying anything
in your bags? No.
Where do you live?
Uh...
Excuse me?
Sam.
What the fuck, man?
What are you doing?! Hey! Hey!
Sam! What the hell?!
Sammy!
Yosef. Sorry. Yosef.
Sorry. I've got to talk to you.
Where have you been?
Yosef, I got to talk to you.
Come on.
What are you doing?
Come with me. Come with me.
Shh, shh, shh,
shh, shh, shh, shh.
All right.
Shh. Come here. Okay.
What are you doing?
Yosef, come here.
Yosef, okay, look.
What are you doing?
No, you need to stop
and pay attention, all right?
Listen to me.
We are gonna get in trouble.
We got to do something.
My car! You took my car!
Yosef...
I've been taking taxis
everywhere.
Yosef, listen to me.
Listen to me.
The kids got busted, and we're
all gonna get in trouble,
And I don't know what to do.
Who got busted?
The kids, the kids,
the couriers,
And this one fucking kid...
Yosef,
he's gonna tell everybody.
What do we do, yosef?
What are we fucking gonna do?
Where's jackie? I don't know.
He's in...
he's in amsterdam, all right?
I didn't tell him.
I came to you.
You have to tell me what to do.
All right, all right,
all right, all right.
Okay. Okay.
Uh, I know what to do.
Okay. I know what to do.
Calm down. Jesus christ.
Yeah. Okay. Okay.
Uh... What?
I know what to do. Good.
Listen to me.
I got a cousin, all right?
He lives on the west coast.
We're gonna drive.
We're gonna get in my car.
I mean our car.
We're gonna drive across
the country, all right?
We're gonna
stay with my cousin.
No. Okay? We can hide out
there for as long as we want.
I've got enough money
for the both of us.
I got...
that's what we're gonna do.
That's the best plan,
all right?
Yeah, listen to me.
The sun, right?
Beautiful girls. Okay.
No one's gonna find us.
It's gonna be great.
Listen to me.
I'm glad you told me.
I'm glad you told me.
All right.
Everything's gonna be
all right, sammy gold.
Everything's gonna be
all right, okay?
You stay here.
Uh, I'm gonna go get my stuff.
I'll be right back.
I'm gonna be right back.
All right?
Stay right there!
They heard hashem's voice.
Moving in the garden
with the wind of day.
The man and his wife
hid themselves from hashem.
Among the trees of the garden.
Hashem called to the man,
And he said, "where are you?"
All men must answer this.
They must know where they stand.
In relation
to hashem's presence.
Either you move closer...
Or further away.
Shalom aleichem.
Aleichem shalom.
It's okay. It's okay.
I was at your wedding.
It was very nice.
She's a wonderful woman.
I'm very blessed.
Baruch hashem.
Baruch hashem.
I need help, leon.
I know.
I need help.
Shmuel.
Shmuel.
- That's fine.
- That's fine. You're fine.
It's right up here.
Guess which costume
your little brother had.
For his purim celebration.
Uh, not another goylem?
No. No?
Tickle me goylem.
Tickle me goylem?
What is that? I don't know.
He called himself
"tickle me goylem,".
And he was walking around, like,
"I am tickle me goylem!"
He was tickling everyone.
It was very funny.
What's in the book?
The book?
Uh, it's science fiction.
It's pretty good. Interesting?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I just started it.
What is it about?
Uh, these two scientists...
they, uh, they get sent to...
Maybe you want to come inside
and pray, do a mitzvah?
Huh? Sammy. Sammy,
come help the man. Sam.
Happy hanukkah.
You're always welcome.
You're late!
- I know. I know.
- Happy hanukkah to you.
Hmm.
Oh, it's the goylem.
Why didn't you tell me
the horrible goylem was going?
Don't scare me, goylem.
Nothing works in this house.
I know.
I heard you.
Here you go, kvetcher.
Stop kvetching.
Stop kvetching.
Oy!
Move up.
You're one heavy monster,
you goylem.
How's my latkes?
Oh, not so good, unless
you like your food cold.
I need you in the den.
Sure, sure.
Hold on. Hold on.
Mendeleh, it's important.
More important than hanukkah?
All right, all right.
Look what your mameleh
is doing to me.
Tateh, I'll tell you when
the first latke is ready.
Ahh.
That's my bubeleh.
Don't forget, you've got a
lesson with the rebbe tomorrow.
Don't be strict with that.
Two more pages!
Tateh, I know.
Do you want a taste?
I want to meet her.
Please? Just an introduction.
You know you're not allowed
to talk to her yet.
I want to know what she's like.
I have to turn on the lights.
Do your chores.
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.
Ruth, watch your brother.
I will, mama.
Thank you.
Yes. Shmuel.
Don't be intimidated by her.
The lazars are a family.
Maybe they have a few more
dollars than we have.
Maybe they have
a stove that actually works.
They're just a family,
like us, all right?
I see the two children
were playing?
Maybe too much sugar?
Take yankel.
He has to wash his hands.
Zei gezunt.
Go take a walk.
Hi. Happy hanukkah.
I got you a present.
Oh, I'm not so sure!
Lehayim. Lehayim.
You're gonna be
a good rabbi, shmuel.
- One more time.
- Let's try it. Let's see.
Maybe I should continue
to work with you.
Nah. We talked about it.
I could make more gelt
with you.
That's a good idea.
Why? Why is it
such a good idea?
Why? What have I taught you,
shmuel?
He... the man
who immerses himself.
In a desire
for money is always...
Remember that, always...
in debt.
I don't understand
why it's such a bad thing.
To make a little gelt.
Yeah, I don't want to
marry a poor man.
Ah, bubeleh, you'll be lucky.
If any man marries you
with that pisk.
Mendel! Well, she... she...
She has a lot of chutzpah
to talk... okay.
Pass the latkes. Okay.
Every single piece
of fabric that I own.
Comes from this store. I know that.
That's why I'm not profiting on this deal.
Look, ma'am, your daughter
will have a beautiful dress.
Made from the finest silk
in thailand, all right?
You know, I don't even
want to deal with you.
Where's mendel?
Mendel... mendel's not here
right now. I'm sorry.
He's not here? Mendel!
Go to another store on this block.
They deal in cheap, shoddy material.
Mendel!
Look who's here!
Okay, thank you.
Mazel tov. Mazel tov, mendel.
The big girl is turning... what?
Se?orita's 15, 16?
15. 15.
Thank you for remembering.
Now, can you help me out here?
?Qu? pas?? ?Qu? pas??
Nothing pas?.
Look, ma'am, all right,
I'll do 75% silk,
25% rayon for $19 a yard.
I'm sorry. That's it.
Just... just go get it.
Go get it.
Yeah. Go get it.
I hope you'll treat your wife
better than this box.
You let her off too easy,
tateh.
She has money.
She's loyal.
Eh, it's... it's worth
a couple of nickels.
What have I taught you?
Be nice, charge little...
you'll get a lot of customers.
You think gloria's at home
singing about how great you are?
You need to draw a line
somewhere.
Your customers are gonna
walk all over you.
Shmuel gold. What?
This is my store,
and I run it my way.
When you become a rabbi,
I'm not gonna shove my nose
in your business, all right?
Did you get your allowance?
Yeah, mama gave it to me.
Here.
Take it, take it,
take it, take it.
It's a little something extra
between me and you.
Shaynem dank, tateh.
That means you can go
and get your lovers.
Go ahead. Get your lovers.
I'll wait.
If you all
are just tuning in...
Get out of here. Hey.
Get out of here!
Mama, ruth left the bathroom
window open again.
It's freezing. Stop utzing me.
You were supposed to
take the garbage out.
It's shabbos.
And it smells!
Don't let anyone see you,
especially your father!
Huh? Where you going? Thank god
your father's not here to see this.
Don't worry so much, ma!
Wait.
Gut shabbos.
And merry hanukkah to you, too!
There's my samelah.
Did you see the tits
on that girl on tv?
Maybe.
Maybe?
You know they're fake, right?
What do you mean?
Well, sometimes...
What are you doing?
You're smoking on shabbos now?
Yeah, put that out.
It's shabbos.
Dank. You think
he listens to me? Please.
Get it from both sides.
"You think he listens to me?
You think he listens to me?"
No doubt I listen
to my man sammy.
The soon-to-be-married
sammy gold.
Mazel tov. We're gonna be late
for shul. Let's go.
Mazel. Mazel, sammy.
What's her name, huh, sammy?
Vanna? Huh? Vanna white?
No.
You ever see that show?
I made sure he didn't,
thank you very much.
The best show ever! You got to watch it!
It's the greatest!
Ay, shaineh maidel.
Don't stare. Don't stare.
You're the one staring.
I'm not staring.
Hey, sammy, let me ask you...
Do you even know what to do
with a beautiful girl?
The rebbe will tell me.
Gut shabbos. Goodbye.
The rebbe will tell you? Yes.
What's the rebbe
gonna tell you?
The rebbe's not gonna tell you
how to please your wife.
Would you stop it?
Don't listen to him.
He's fine. He's jealous.
What am I jealous of,
leon, huh?
Jealous of marrying a girl
I don't even know?
My tateh says it's time
for us to get married.
We will be happy.
Baruch hashem.
Goodbye. Thank you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
baruch hashem. Very confident.
Mr. Lazar! Hey, mr. Lazar!
Get off of me! Get off of me!
Come on, get off of me,
you fucking fag.
Get off. Get out of here.
Run to shul, little girls.
Go home!
They heard hashem's voice
moving in the garden.
With the wind of day.
The man and his wife
hid themselves from hashem.
Among the trees of the garden.
Hashem called to the man,
And he said, "where are you?"
Did hashem know
where adam was hiding?
Shmuel?
Shmuel?
God being god
knew where adam was hiding,
But the question
is for adam to answer.
All men must answer this.
They must know where they stand.
In relation
to hashem's presence.
Either you move closer...
Or further away.
Your friend is very wise
with the talmud.
He could be a good rabbi.
But we're not here
to talk about leon.
We're here to talk about you.
I think I'd prefer
to work with my father.
I see.
Judaism is about community.
It's about looking outward
to others,
Not just looking inward
at yourself.
Farshteyn. Farshteyn.
I don't want to be a burden
to my family or the community.
Very well. Very well.
I have given my blessing
for the first bashert.
You have?
I pray the meeting
goes in your favor.
You'll be a husband and a father
before you know it.
Thank you, rebbe.
A shaynem dank.
Only then
will you find true joy.
And all this will become clear.
Will you study at the koel?
Yes, well,
I-I work in manhattan now.
I'm not sure about
becoming a rabbi yet.
You like
playing basketball more?
You've seen me? No, no.
No.
No. My tateh
will talk to the rabbi.
They will decide for me.
What job do you do?
I take care of my younger
brothers and sisters.
Oh. That's nice.
How many children?
Five?
No, I want eight.
Eight?
Baruch hashem.
Baruch hashem.
Which yeshiva
would they attend?
Eight? Wow.
Sammy. Come over here
for a second.
It's freezing out, huh?
Yeah.
I'm sorry I gave you shit about
your marriage the other day.
That's okay.
I'm not even married yet.
Yeah.
So, where are you
gonna live, huh?
You gonna live
with your parents?
Mazel, is that a rolex?
Shh, shh!
Leon's a fucking mensch.
You know that.
Working for
the medical business now.
For a doctor?
Yeah, sort of.
You know, uh...
What?
You know, I-I think they, uh...
I think they need another guy,
if you're interested.
If you're looking for some
extra work, it's a good job.
Really? Yeah.
Easiest money you'll ever make.
All-expenses trip to europe...
I mean, you fly anywhere,
really.
Girls, fast cars,
see the world.
I have a job, thank you.
Yeah, I know. I know.
Let me ask you a question.
Who do you think pays the bills
in my house?
'Cause leon doesn't pay
the fucking bills,
I'll tell you that.
I mean, you got groceries,
electric bill, mortgage.
My fucking mother
doesn't pay the mortgage.
You do?
I do.
What happens
when you and young vanna.
Want to have a few kinder
of your own?
I work with my father, yosef.
Yeah.
Women like shiny things.
You know what time it is?
It's fake titty time.
Think about it, all right?
Page me later.
Come on. I'll race you.
Come on.
So, tell me what happened.
Well,
she was more nervous than me.
Did her parents
say anything yet, or...?
No, not yet. No?
Oh, oh, what were you and yose
talking about before?
Nothing, nothing.
His new business.
Yose doesn't have a business.
Well, he offered me a job.
Are you meshugga?
You work for yosef?
Yeah, he offered me $1,000
to import medicine from europe.
Maybe I should do it for zeldy.
That doesn't make sense.
There's no medicine work
that type of gelt.
No, no, it's special.
It's... it's for rich people.
But, listen, I won't go
unless you go with me.
Why didn't he ask me?
I've never been to europe.
That's where
our grandparents came from.
Oh, I got it, mama. I got it.
No, no.
No, no. Hey. Stop, stop, stop.
Don't hurt yourself.
All right, here.
Go tell your tateh that yankel
should be in bed already.
One second. There we go.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Mama, something's wrong.
Tell me.
Nothing. It's the stove.
Mama.
Go get your father.
What's the matter?
Just... he made me a promise.
The lazars have started
to look for another marriage.
I'm sorry, my boychik.
And the old lady said...
"thank
you for not stealing the apples!
Thank you for asking!"
And she gave him
a whole basket.
Now, the tired traveler...
and he wasn't just a traveler.
Remember, he was a rabbi.
He was famous.
He was a miracle maker.
Have you heard any news?
Shh. He said to the...
to the lady... he said...
Tateh... Why won't
they let her marry me?
Is it because of our family?
Just... just keep on studying,
okay?
Just keep on studying.
Don't worry.
Focus on your studies.
We'll find you a good bride.
Okay. All right?
Come. Pray with your brother
and me.
Uh, no.
No. I have a cold.
I don't want him to catch it.
Fuck! What the fuck
is he doing here?!
No, he comes with me.
What the fuck
is he doing here?!
Get out of here.
Get out of here.
Don't tell me what to do.
Yosef, if he doesn't go,
I don't go.
I told you not to tell anybody.
Go home, leon.
Trust me... go home.
Do you want me to tell mommy?
Go home!
Stop it!
He comes with me, yosef.
What the fuck are you looking
at, you fucking shvartzes?
Turn around, fool.
All right.
All right.
All right, all right.
All right.
Okay. Relax. Let's go.
Okay?
Fuck!
He's a nice guy, right?
Are you kidding me?
He's the best.
We can trust him?
Of course. He's jewish.
All right. Wait here.
Don't touch anything.
He looks nervous.
Maybe he doesn't like doctors.
Jackie?
Is jackie in his office?
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god. I love your hats.
Thank you.
They're so amazing.
I... oh.
No, no, no, no, no.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
You're not supposed to touch it.
Slut.
Jackie? Hi.
Ugh. Not good.
It's disgusting. Ugh.
Right.
This is the guy
I was telling you about.
My brother and sammy gold.
Okay.
He loved you. He loved you.
He loved you!
- Elka!
- One second!
Who was it who called for you?
The rebbe personally
from atlantic city.
- Suggested that we go.
- This is for you.
It might be hard
to find glatt kosher.
Shaynem dank. Thank you.
Thank you, mama.
Well, what more can I say?
I mean, the fact that
the atlantic city rebbe.
Asked for you in person...
that's... that's a big honor.
I'm so proud of you boys.
Big honor.
Your father
would be very proud.
You have everything?
Well, go, go.
May I have your attention,
please?
Hi. Uh, that's my seat.
Excuse me.
And as soon as we reach
our cruising altitude,
A cold meal and a variety
of drinks will be served.
We'll fall asleep right away.
You enjoy the flight?
It was okay.
Listen to me very closely,
okay, boys?
I have two things for you.
One is an envelope with cash
and your itinerary in it.
The other is a piece of paper.
When you get off the jetway,
I want you to follow signs
that say "taxi," okay?
Get in line, get into the taxi,
give them the piece of paper.
You're gonna go to the hotel,
you're gonna check in,
And you're gonna wait for me
to call, all right?
Okay. Good.
Where are you going?
I'll be back.
I'll call you later.
Yose.
This is mokem.
It's no safe haven.
What? Let me see yours.
You look like
you're 10 years old here.
This looks nothing like you.
Yes, it does.
You look like you're 10.
Should we page your brother?
He said he'd call.
- Come on, boys!
- It's your uncle yosef!
Come on.
We're gonna miss your flight.
Oy vey.
This is a waste of time.
Hello, hello.
Hello. You all right?
Yeah. Good.
Listen, we'll see more
of amsterdam next trip, okay?
Let's go over
what I talked about.
I know. You told us already.
You'll be waiting
in terminal 9 parking lot.
With your friend, the goy.
Good, good.
And you travel alone.
You do not know me, and you
do not know each other.
What?
What do you mean?
Why don't we know each other?
You just don't know each other.
It's that simple.
The most important thing
to remember, though...
Do not open your bag
for anybody.
Because of the medicine?
Right, leo,
because of the medicine.
Yeah. What's wrong
with the medicine, yosef?
There's nothing wrong
with the medicine, okay?
What's medicine here might not
mean "medicine" there.
What's medicine there might not
mean "medicine" here.
Farshteyn?
No, not farshteyn.
What's wrong with the medicine?
Yose, yose,
could we get in trouble?
Guys, guys, calm down.
Don't worry so much.
Just think of it as a game.
No one is getting in trouble,
And no one
is gonna suspect a thing.
I promise.
And the medicine is untraceable.
It's like aspirin.
The customs agent
isn't looking for you,
And they're not looking
for the medicine.
Now, they may ask you
some simple questions,
And you reply
with simple answers.
Brussels to montreal
to get here?
Family business.
The most important thing
is this...
Relax, mind your business,
and act jewish.
Load the bag, please.
You load the fucking bags.
They did all the work.
Have a little respect
for my little brother.
Your brother?
You get your brother to smuggle
drugs? That's great.
Drugs? Drugs?
What... what dru...
what are you talking about?
Yose, what drugs?! I knew it.
I knew it. Drugs?
You said, "medicine."
In the car, in the car.
All right, come on.
Shut the fuck up.
Get in the fucking van.
Get in the fucking van.
Get off... ow!
No, no, don't touch my jacket.
I never heard jews complain
so much about making money.
Jesus christ.
Fucking idiot. Fuck.
You know,
jews have been smuggling.
For thousands of years.
Talk to the rebbe.
It will be fine.
What did you say?
Whoa!
Listen to me. Yosef.
I get in trouble,
you get in trouble.
If I don't get in trouble, nobody
gets in trouble, okay? Yosef!
All right, leon? All right?
Get off me, sam!
All right? Who's gonna...
who you gonna tell?
Huh? Who you gonna tell?
Nobody! Nobody!
Come on. Nobody. That's right.
Get the fuck out already.
Sammy, let's go.
- Sam, come on.
- Okay.
Sammy, hold on. Hold on.
I told you not to tell
my little brother.
You did a good job, though.
You did a really good job.
If you want to come out with us,
page me later, all right?
Page me later!
What are you looking at,
you fucking polack?
Sorry I got you into this.
You didn't get me into anything.
We didn't know.
Just... Give
the money back, okay?
Yeah, I will, I will, I will.
Okay. I won't tell anyone.
I promise.
I- I'm ashamed.
Well, we didn't know, leon.
It just happened.
We didn't know.
We didn't know. Yeah.
We should have!
We didn't know, leon.
- Look at leon.
- He's such a good...
Oh, fuck leon.
Try to help
the ones you love, right?
You tell the old man
about the cash?
They don't exactly know yet,
but thank you.
That's a good thing.
Yeah.
Hey, yosef.
Leon's not talking to me.
He's not?
Yeah, I'm heartbroken.
You know, I think I'm getting
out of here for a while.
I'm gonna go over to jackie's.
You should come.
I told him how good of a job
you did.
He wants to meet you.
He wants to meet me?
Yeah. So,
consider yourself invited.
Hey, yosef? Tell me the truth
about the pills.
I won't tell anybody.
I promise.
They're harmless.
Yeah?
I promise. Okay.
You know where to find me.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- I think I ordered a brunette.
Oh, that's funny.
I didn't think
I ordered a hasid.
Do you want to go back
to where you came from?
Fuck you.
Hi. Jackie.
All right.
Rachel, this is sammy.
Sammy, this is rachel.
Rachel. Nice to meet you.
Oh, no, thank you. No offense.
It's out of respect for you.
I have no respect for you.
Here. Take my jacket.
Oh, fuck you. Welcome.
Please make yourself at home.
Yosef, I think
I've actually met her before.
Yeah, maybe in your wet dreams.
You remember andrew.
That's tabitha.
She's the hottest model
in France.
Say hi, tabitha.
That was a long "hi."
Uh, what else do we got?
I have no idea who
the fuck these people are,
But they're a lot of cool jews,
So it's a good thing for us.
Jackie, you got company!
A lot of cool jews here,
sammy... a lot of cool jews.
One goy... forget about him.
God does.
Yosef!
Come here. By yourself.
All right.
Yosef.
Hi.
Hi.
Looks like you could
use a friend.
Do you want a drink?
Uh, no, thank you.
Loosen up a little.
How old are you?
Um, 20 years.
20 years?
Is that, like,
opposed to days and months?
- Excuse me.
- It's my age.
Jackie is a really lucky guy.
Thank you.
Is there anything I can get
you here or somewhere else?
You look so wound up.
I just want you to relax.
I'm relaxed. I'm fine.
Thank you.
Why don't you taste this?
It's delicious.
He's had it forever.
Thank you. I'm not tasting it.
It's really good.
It's better aged.
You want to take
your jacket off?
'Cause they're gonna be
a while, so...
You don't have to
be so nervous.
I'm not gonna rat you out
to your rabbi or anything.
Are you jewish?
Well, I dropped out
of hebrew school,
So I don't know if that counts.
She talk your ear off yet?
Does it count?
I want you
to meet somebody, sammy.
Hi, baby.
Hi, baby. Are you sam?
Oh.
Mr. Solomon. Nice to meet you.
Mr. Solomon, nice to meet you.
Come here. I want to talk
to you for a second.
Uh, baby, show yose
where he's sleeping.
Have a seat.
Thank you, mr. Solomon.
Jackie... call me "jackie.
" thank you, jackie.
You work on delancey
and orchard.
Is that correct? Uh, yeah.
You know I used to work there?
You worked there?
Yeah, I hated that block...
ever since the chinks.
And the fucking "f" train
over there sucks.
What are you, a 10?
You look like you're about a 10.
There you go.
This is for you, sam.
Try them on.
Now? Yeah, try them on.
Does your mom know
about the medicine, sam?
It's called ecstasy,
and it's illegal.
I mean, what's illegal?
In israel, advil's illegal.
The most important thing
you need to know, sam...
It's not addictive,
it's actually therapeutic.
It actually helps people
open up their emotions.
You know, yose told me
what a great job you did.
Go ahead. Try them on.
Mr. Solomon,
I-I work with my father.
I know you work
with your father, sam,
But you have to
understand something.
We're talking about
a lot of money here.
I'm willing to offer you
$1,500 a trip.
Plus I'll give you $200 for
every carrier you find me...
Plus all expenses paid.
Do they fit? Yeah.
Good. They look great.
You know,
I really like you, sam.
I like you, too,
mr. So... jackie.
Always call me "jackie."
I will.
One second.
Shmuel.
Come in.
Where were you?
I had a job interview.
Job? What job interview?
No, don't worry.
It was with a very nice man.
He's israeli.
He imports all sorts of
pricy goods from europe.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You... you work in the store.
You study.
I thought it would be a good
idea to make some extra gelt.
Why? Why? Why?
Why is it so important for you
with the whole money issue?
I did a good job.
Is there something
you want to tell me, shmuel?
You shouldn't miss dinner.
Sorry.
Stop!
Sam!
I have something for you.
I want you to put it on.
It's italian.
Do you like designer clothes?
Yes, yes. Thank you.
Also, give this to your mom
when you get home, okay?
Okay. What did you get
for yourself?
Come on, baby.
Is, uh... is yosef coming back?
- Don't worry about yosef.
- Get dressed.
We're going out tonight.
We're in fucking amsterdam.
You look good. Thank you.
Are you nervous? No.
No.
Hey, what's up?
What are you doing?
Hi. How are you?
Nice to see you.
What are you doing?
What are you doing? Come on.
Meet me in the bathroom, girls.
Everything's upstairs.
I want to go back
to the apartment.
They're just having fun.
Take me back to the apartment.
Well, I can't.
I'm supposed to babysit you.
I can babysit myself,
thank you very much.
You can't babysit yourself.
You know what?
You should go back inside.
You should
go have some more fun.
Sam, give me your fucking coat.
I'm freezing.
Just give it to me, please.
I'm cold.
Ooh. That's soft.
How do you feel?
I feel fine.
You're acting very strange.
I feel amazing.
Oh, my god.
I think I see our apartment.
What? Where?
I do. I see it. I see it.
Come here.
You have to get really close
to see it, though.
Can you see it now?
No.
Jackie likes you.
Where's the apartment?
He really likes you a lot,
you know, 'cause you're not...
You're not like the other guys,
I mean, because...
It's like you're pure
or something, you know?
I think I should
talk more or less.
I can't tell.
Are you homesick?
I want to go sit down.
Okay.
Okay.
Come here.
Come here, sweetie.
No.
Shit.
Oh, my god.
Fucking amazing.
I think that
this is the softest jacket...
In the entire universe.
It's wool with cashmere.
My god.
Do this slower... like, slower.
You okay?
I'm great. Perfect.
How are you?
Let's do this.
Give me the suitcase.
Oh, have the kid
bring the cash.
What?
Have the kid bring
the fucking cash. Let's go.
Let's go.
Leave the bitch in the car.
Come on.
No.
Sorry. She's fine.
Hide your hard-on, will you?
Don't fuck up and don't
say anything, all right?
What am I supposed to do?
Just don't say anything,
all right?
Looking for ephraim.
I need 50,000 pills
boxed and sealed now.
Let's go!
If I find
one fucking pill missing,
I'm gonna chop
your fucking hands off!
Stay close.
There's my meshugga.
What's up, ephraim?
How you doing?
Hey, what's going?
Who's the bar mitzvah boy?
He's just my new guy.
Don't worry about it.
Well, new guy, let me show you
what we do here.
This operation here...
This thing's capable of
producing 300 pills a minute,
Over 100,000 an hour.
What's with the machine guns?
Oh, you know, got raids,
killings, you know.
I didn't hear anything.
Yeah, I had to go up
on everything...
Production, security, prices.
You know, I have to raise up
on that friends-and-family code.
What do you mean?
I'm already paying $2 a pill.
What the fuck does
it cost them... 20 cents?
What it costs?
Don't worry about what
it costs me, all right?
This is a business.
This is not a club.
You better not
be fucking me, ephraim.
What did I just say, jack?
Are you deaf?
I got guys pounding down my door
for this stuff.
No, you don't. You got me,
and you fucking know it.
I'm the only motherfucker that's
bringing this shit into new york.
I got other people, all right?
Yeah, but I'm the best,
And there's nobody better
than my guys.
Ohh.
Sam, get yose out of here.
Jackie, can I talk to you
for a second?
Not now. Get him out of here.
Jackie, it's important...
please.
What's going on?
Don't worry about it.
One second. Excuse me.
What, you got to go to
the bathroom or something?
No. Look, with
his new machines,
The supply is going up,
So the prices
should not be going up.
Yeah?
Yeah, well, if you know that,
everybody knows that.
Look, you need me,
and you know it.
I'm gonna do you
a fucking favor here.
I'm not gonna walk away.
So, I'm just gonna take my
original deal, and that's that.
Oh. Well, I-I don't think
you understand.
What's going on here,
So why don't you take
your sick friend.
And stop wasting
my fucking time?
Really? Yes, really.
Like that? Yes.
All right. Then I'm getting
the fuck out of here.
All right, let's go.
Wait. Sir... sam!
Sir, assuming
one of your machines.
Is operating 24 hours a day
for 7 days a week,
It can produce more than
1.4 million pills a week.
You need to keep
those pills moving.
We can help you do that.
Now, if one of your buyers finds
out that your supply is greater,
He's gonna cut his prices.
Word is gonna spread,
and people will talk.
Hi. How you doing?
Okay.
I never thanked you
for yesterday.
You said some pretty good shit.
Oh. Well, I spoke out of turn.
Yeah. Yeah.
In the future,
you should probably,
You know, shut your mouth.
Okay.
Yeah. You got to be careful.
This is some serious shit.
I know. Okay. Okay?
You know, you don't
want to get too smart.
What do you mean?
You don't want to
get too smart.
You know, 'cause jackie...
oh, jackie.
Yeah. Okay.
I mean, he loves you now,
but you never know.
He could drop you any second.
Really? Yeah.
Okay. All right.
Don't get too smart.
You know, just a tip.
Thank you, and I'm sorry.
Sorry? No,
you don't have to apologize.
You did a great job. Okay.
I mean, you could have
got us all killed.
But you did a great job.
Okay.
Just remember
who brought you in.
You did.
Okay. All right.
Sam!
Sam!
Jackie. How are you?
Good to see you.
So, this is it?
This is where
you've been working?
Uh... Tateh,
this is mr. Solomon.
Mr. Gold, jackie solomon.
A pleasure to meet you.
You know, I never appreciated
working with my dad.
Until he was gone, sam.
Well, hopefully,
shmuel knows better than that.
Oh, I'm sure he does.
He's been a great help
to my business.
He was? Yes, incredible.
Not so great.
Oh, no, he's one
of the smartest kids I know.
And I'm sure he's gonna make
a great rabbi.
I mean, that's the goal, right?
Shmuel's been working for you?
Well, a little bit, just lately.
He's been doing a great job.
I enjoy working
with mr. Solomon.
And I enjoy working with sam.
He's been great.
If there's anything that you
ever need, just give me a call.
Yes. Sure.
I'll see you guys later.
It's too much, shmuel!
Shmuel! Tateh, it's fine!
No, this is... no!
You don't listen!
Usually we recruit
in three neighborhoods...
Williamsburg, crown heights,
borough park.
Try to avoid groups.
Look for stragglers,
young families...
People that need extra money and
won't ask too many questions.
You know what I'm saying?
Just sell it.
Sammy gold, the salesman.
You're a good salesman,
right, sammy gold?
Show time.
You all right?
Yeah.
You're all right. You'll get it.
Watch the master.
Excuse me, sir.
How are you? How are you doing?
Listen, I have a golden
opportunity for you.
How are you?
Let me ask you a question.
Are you from around here?
What are you in a rush for?
Oy, ziggy, talk to your boss.
Boys, come here.
Give me a hand.
Take the children inside.
Can I help you?
Uh, no. Thank you.
This is so heavy.
Vartn.
If you could help my wife...
Shalom aleichem.
Ma'am, have you ever
been to europe?
Wait, the bear... wait, wait.
The bear and the rabbit
shit in the woods.
Okay, hold on. I know, I know,
I know. Hold on. They can wait.
The bear and the rabbit
shit in the woods.
The rabbit... the bear turns
to the rabbit and says, "hey."
Hold on one second.
Can you hold on one second?
The... the bear
says to the rabbit,
"hey, have you shit
here before?"
And then the...
What the fuck are you
talking about, seriously?
These are fucking andrew's guys
from brighten.
They pay $40 a fucking pill.
Watch the way
I handle these guys.
All right, cool.
Yeah, yeah, cool. Cool.
I hope you guys are not wasting
my fucking time here.
That was bullshit.
He had us going over bridges.
And through tunnels in
the fucking mystery machine.
You mean brooklyn? Really?
I don't know
about the other customers,
But we got a lot of money.
Cool out, man.
Yeah, what's up with your boys,
andrew, seriously?
Hey, bro, I got like 20 bitches.
That are ready for this shit,
so let's get it on.
Who are these characters you got
working for you? What's that?
Hi, boys.
That's why you don't
buy drugs from a jew.
What the fuck did you say,
bitch?
It's unprofessional.
Unprofessional?
Well, excuse me for being
un-fucking-professional, andrew.
Come here. Come here.
Go ahead. No, no, no, no!
No? All right, hold on.
I'll be back.
Jackie, hey.
I'm almost ready to lock up.
Is it all here? Yeah.
Okay, good. Good job. Thank you.
Sam, turn around, please.
Yeah.
Hey, sam? Yeah?
I need you to do me a favor.
I need you to take
some of my cash to europe.
When are you leaving?
Uh, we could do, uh, Sunday
first thing, no problem.
Sunday is good.
Me and rachel are leaving
tomorrow morning,
So that makes sense.
All right. But we're going out
tonight. You want to come?
Jackie, it's shabbos.
I can't go out.
- That's right.
- It is shabbos.
I forgot. I got to call my mom.
Hi, mama.
Shabbat shalom.
Jackie. Hey, jackie.
Okay, I love you, too, mama.
Okay. Okay, I love you.
I got to go.
Shabbat shalom. Jackie.
Bye. See...
What are you doing?
I got my mother that new stove.
I got to go.
Wish her shabbat shalom.
She'll like that.
Thanks, jackie.
Shabbat shalom.
Shabbat shalom.
Really? Thank you very much.
Tateh!
Mama!
What's wrong?
We don't want it.
Shmuel! Shmuel!
What?
You're ruining our family.
I don't need this from you
right now! Go to yeshiva!
You're ruining our family!
I don't need this from you!
How can you do this?! Stop it!
Zeldy! Zeldy! Zeldy!
Stop it!
Zeldy's marrying someone else!
What? You don't deserve her.
What? Who is she marrying?
He's a good man.
He's going to be a rabbi.
Who is it?! Tell me who it is!
Leon.
You know, amsterdam used to be
called new jerusalem,
And new york used to be called
new amsterdam.
Really? Yeah.
Well, now amsterdam
is fucking disneyland.
For fat and faggot americans.
You're a fat
and faggot american.
Really? I'll have sex
with you right now.
To prove that I'm not a faggot.
Hey! Fuck you.
What the hell's
wrong with you?!
No. I'm being polite.
You tired, sam?
It was a long flight, right?
No, I'm okay.
You know, the anne frank house
is here, as well.
I'd like to see that. I know.
I've tried to go twice.
And both times
the line was too long.
That's 'cause you were stoned.
Sammy boy, good job.
See this town?
I run this fucking town, buddy.
I know.
This town? I hate this town.
Any questions?
- No.
- Good.
Don't worry.
Nothing bad is gonna happen.
You're both very smart people.
Does this medicine
really help people?
You're doing a mitzvah
for your family.
You should both be very proud.
Here. Try this on.
It's heavy.
Don't touch it.
Come on. We're gonna
miss your flight.
Please. We need a moment alone.
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
Make it quick.
Sheep follow sheep.
I'm not a sheep, rebbe.
I don't know what that means.
It means there are rumors.
Spreading in the community
about you.
I import garments wholesale.
Your good friend leon
is very concerned.
I've not spoken to leon
for a long time.
I travel.
People get ideas...
their imagination.
Tell yosef I would like to
talk to him... clear this up.
Absolutely.
When... if I see yosef,
I will tell him.
Absolutely.
Did you really give your
blessing to the lazar family?
I came to ask the questions
tonight, young shmuel.
Be careful.
The imagination
is very dangerous.
You have two bags.
Okay.
All right, I'll be right back.
Then on the 1st, pay for...
Hi. No, don't worry.
I got it. Put your money away.
I got it. What are you getting?
There... right there.
There you go.
Don't worry, my friend.
I'm one of you. It's okay.
I think that's debatable.
Take the bag to the truck.
I'll be right there.
Keep your head down.
Stay away from my boy, shmuel.
Why would the lazars
agree to you?
You don't have any money.
You don't even have a father
to work for.
It's not about the money...
never.
They want a shepherd
to protect her from the wolves.
Mazel tov.
I'm sure your father's
very proud.
Leon.
Hey, leon.
Hey.
Cast your burden on hashem,
and he will sustain you.
Hey, come here!
Hey, leon! Where you going?!
Baby brother, I got you
a present! Come here!
Yosef.
Sam, get in the car.
Let's go.
- Straighten out.
- Yeah.
All right, look straight.
If two people drive,
There are too many cooks in the kitchen.
Just go straight.
Pull up right over next to that
building right there, okay?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
stop, stop, stop!
Brake, brake, brake, brake!
Oh, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa! Wrong!
Put it in park. Sorry.
Geez.
My god, I saw my life
flash before my eyes.
Sorry.
I got to start wearing
this seat-belt thing.
You really should.
All right, here we go.
Don't touch anything,
all right?
All right.
Can I turn the radio on? No.
There he is... the bald wonder.
Yo, yo!
Yosef, yosef. How are you?
Good. How are you?
I think I'm getting a cavity.
You're tuned in
to stretch armstrong.
I'm feeling good.
New york city,
what is going on?
Move over.
Take 50 g's out
and give jackie the rest.
$50,000? For what?
Laundering. That's my fee.
Your fee? What...
what are you charging them?
What do you mean,
how much I'm charging them?
These men are... I charge them
what I charge them.
Okay. Wait. So,
does jackie know about them?
What did I tell you
about jackie?
What?
Don't get too smart.
Don't get too smart.
Jackie doesn't need to know.
He doesn't... he doesn't
appreciate a smarty.
Like I appreciate a smarty.
Thank you.
You want to get some pizza?
Yeah. I'm starving.
Let's do it.
Hey, can I drive
on the way back?
No!
I want...
I want to give a toast.
Uh...
Yosef.
Yosef, I want to make a toast.
To good business and good
friends, in that order.
Cheers. Lehayim.
Lehayim. Lehayim.
Lehayim, sam.
Lehayim, sam.
Mmm, mmm!
Okay.
Sam, have you ever had sushi?
Uh, no.
This is some
smoked-salmon sushi.
It's like, um... it's like lox.
Okay. We'll baruch over this.
Just try it.
Okay. I can feed myself,
thank you.
Okay. Mmm.
Who wants more? Mmm.
It's good, right?
Yeah, I'll have another one,
honey, please.
I think I like it better
with the bagel.
Jackie!
It's good to see you.
I haven't seen you
in a long time.
That's it. Nice to see you.
Yosef.
What? Oh, hey.
How you been? How you doing?
Take care of that cavity?
Lehayim. Lehayim.
Enjoy, everybody.
Sam!
Come on.
Please? It's okay.
This is the best medicine ever.
Shabbat
is a state of mind, pal.
Sometimes my eyes
go out of focus.
And then back in focus.
There it goes again.
Can we stop for a second
so I can trip for a minute?
Yeah, please?
Jackie, pull over real quick,
will you?
Come on, pull over real quick?
Pull over real quick.
I got to show sammy something.
Sammy, grab your sneakers.
What are we doing?
What do you mean?
Why do I need my shoes?
What happens next can only
be described as tragic.
And the sons of aaron,
nadav and avihu,
Each took his fire pan,
placed within it fire,
And placed incense upon it.
And they offered
a strange fire before hashem,
One that he did not
command of them,
And the fire came forth
before hashem and devoured them,
And they died before hashem.
Elka! There you go.
Elka! Okay, I'm coming!
I'm coming!
You still like me, right?
Have I kept you all waiting?
Come here.
Don't worry about it.
Ruth, you look so lovely.
Boychik.
Come, yankel. Let's go.
Are we ready? Yes.
Shall we?
Mazel tov! Mazel tov!
Mazel tov! Mazel tov!
I talked to the rabbe today.
I talked to the rabbe, too.
We had a good conversation.
Shmuel?
Yeah?
Sit down.
Uh, actually, tateh,
I have to go somewhere. Sorry.
I said, "sit down!"
You lied to him, didn't you?
Who?
The rabbe.
No. I didn't lie. No.
No one is lying, tateh.
You didn't lie? No.
Ay, ay, ay, ay.
Tateh, I didn't do anything.
When my rabbi comes to my house
looking for a gun,
I have a criminal in my house.
Tateh, what did he tell you?
What did the rabbe tell you?
We have to hide you
from the community.
You don't have to hide me from
anybody. I didn't do anything.
We have to hide you from your little brother.
Stop. I didn't do anything.
Why, shmuel?
I didn't do anything wrong,
tateh.
Why? Huh?
Tateh, I have to go.
You are a liar.
You are a criminal.
You're not my son.
Don't say that.
Don't say that. Tateh...
I can't look at you.
No. No.
Tateh, please look at me.
Look at me!
Shmuel, please go away!
Go away!
Go away from my house,
you understand me?!
Go away!
Hi. Come on in.
Now, when you land,
Make sure no one
checks your belongings.
That's simple. That's easy.
Somebody asks you a question,
You simply give them
a simple answer.
Most importantly, though,
relax, okay?
Have a good time.
Mind your business
and act jewish.
You look beautiful.
You look beautiful, too.
Yose...
You not so much.
You missed
your brother's wedding.
My brother's
none of your business.
This is your business.
All right?
Mm.
Yosef, we don't have time.
The kids are gonna be waiting.
We're gonna miss the flight.
Ah, we're not gonna
miss the flight.
The kids can wait two minutes.
Look, jackie knows
you're skimming, yosef.
Jackie knows about these guys.
I can't keep hiding these
side deals in the book any more.
All right?
All right?
I'm gonna tell jackie.
Will you shut the fuck up
about jackie?
All right.
You shouldn't be doing this.
Just... be right back.
Okay.
Yosef...
Hey.
You said you'd be alone.
Who the fuck is this?
I said I'd be alone.
Ivan, hi. How are you?
Can I have my money, please?
I am in a rush. I got to go.
Yeah. Here's the deal...
our buyers...
They want a bigger cut,
- Or they'll go elsewhere.
- Okay. Come on, yosef.
Well, guy, I need my money
or my pills right now.
Mm-hmm. Okay.
We got your money.
It's on...
it's on the tab, right?
Yeah. It's small change.
You got to look
at the big picture.
100,000 superman pills...
that's worth $250,000.
I want that right now.
What the fuck is going on
right now?
Hello?! It's on our tab.
Shut the fuck up,
you understand me?!
Yosef. No, no.
I have given you
100,000 superman pills!
No! That's $250,000!
What the fuck are you doing?!
Yosef! Yosef!
Yosef, come on! Yosef!
Hey, hey, hey,
your girlfriend's running away.
Yosef! Yosef, yosef!
Empty all your pockets...
all of them.
Really. It's easy to forget.
We all do. It doesn't mean
you're not smart.
Empty all of your pockets.
You see? It's easy. Come on.
Come on. What are you doing?
Why are we flying from brussels.
To montreal to get to new york?
Is that route
a problem for you?
You said you wanted
to make money.
I'll be back in 24 hours
with the medicine.
But what if there is
an emergency?
An emergency?
Call the front desk. Dial 9.
Where are you going?
You lost the pills, the money.
You want this?
Fucking unbelievable.
Oh, hi, sam.
Where's my money, yosef?
Nice haircut.
Uh, we have company, by the way.
Get off the phone.
Enough already!
Put it somewhere!
Yeah, he just walked in.
I'll deal with it.
Fucking piece of shit.
All right, just call me later.

You know "shalom"?
Everybody knows "shalom."
Okay. Um...

together, don't we?
Sorry. Thank you.
It's okay.

These kids nowadays... they want
heroin, speed, special k,
Whatever else

Sounds like a rave.
You like to party,

They can't smell that shit?
Hey, chill, please. All right?
Let's be professional.
Don't embarrass yourself.
Okay.
So, how do you transport it?
Sam, please explain to mr. Maxim
how we transport it.
We use hasidic kids...
young hasidic kids, couriers.
I've heard of this.
Ultra-orthodox jews...
What, do they think
they're smuggling diamonds?
Uh, actually,
medicine for rich people.
This is your young
business partner?
No, no, no, no, no.
He works for me.
Hey, this is my operation.
Actually, no, we are.
We are partners.
What the fuck

This is funny, ephraim,
and that's not funny.
Get me a pack of cigarettes, please.
All right.
Mr. Maxim, I think we should talk numbers.
What do you think?
Get me a fucking
pack of cigarettes!

Excuse me.
Hey. Hey.
Are you okay?
Well, I'm not getting
his fucking cigarettes.
Okay.
Do you want to
come back inside, or...
No, I don't.
I was thinking
we should go to lithuania.
What do you think?
Sam, I don't even know
where lithuania is.
My grandmother lives there,
all right?
And I never met her.
My dad... she's like us.
Sam.
No, I think
we make a cute couple.
You're just a...
Child, sweetie.
And how old are you?
How old are you?

Yosef told me
jackie is gonna drop you.
Fuck you! Sorry.
You don't know
anything about us,
So why don't you
keep your mouth shut?!
Yes, I do. Yes, I do.
Yosef told me
jackie is paranoid,
And if you get smart,
if you get too smart,
He's gonna drop you. Sorry.
You know what?
You're the one that's paranoid.
If you want to come back inside,
fucking come back inside.
Sir. What?
Are you jewish? What?
You are jewish, no?
Yeah, of course.
Did you put on a tefillin today?
No, I didn't. I'm traveling.
I forgot.
Oh, that's...

You know, we must never forget.
We have to renew the spot,

Listen to me.
We are gonna get in trouble.
We got to do something.
My car! You took my car!
Yosef...
I've been taking taxis
everywhere.
Yosef, listen to me.
Listen to me.
The kids got busted, and we're
all gonna get in trouble,
And I don't know what to do.
Who got busted?
The kids, the kids,

And this one fucking kid...

They heard hashem's voice.
Moving in the garden
with the wind of day.
The man and his wife
hid themselves from hashem.
Among the trees of the garden.
Hashem called to the man,
And he said, "where are you?"
All men must answer this.
They must know where they stand.
In relation
to hashem's presence.
Either you move closer...
Or further away.
