"I have a friend named Benjamin

"But I call him Benny.

"I'll be 10 in a few days

"And Benny's a little younger than..."
-"Shorter than me."

Younger. -Shorter.
-Younger. -Shorter.

Are you calling your dad a liar?
-Uh-huh.

You're calling me a liar?
-Uh-huh. -Oh yeah?

I'm a liar? -Yeah.
-You're calling me a liar? -Yeah.

Yeah? -Actually, I'm not so sure.
Stop it, Daddy.



Go to sleep.

Daddy... -What, honey?
-When are you going?

I'll wait till you're asleep, okay?
-Okay.

Good night.
-Good night, Daddy.

Shorter. -Younger. -Shorter.
-Younger. -Shorter. -You lied.

She'll fall asleep soon, Sveta.
Anything else? -No, I'm fine.

I'm going to take a shower.
-Erez,

is her school bag ready?
-Yes,

but I'll be back by 7:00.
I'll take her to school.

How's it going, man?

What's up?
-I'm good.

Marina, how's it going?
-Okay.

Is that reporter here?
-End of the bar, in a jacket.

He's been here an hour.
-Let him wait.

Tell Yisrael to give him a chaser.
-Okay.

When's Ido coming with the girls?

By 2:00 he said. -Okay.
-Is he bringing that Stephanie?

Why'd you think he volunteered?

Did you take care of Amikam
and his pals? -Of course.

What's up?

Amikam!

Happy birthday, man.
-Thanks. -Are you 70 now?

120. What'll you wish me?
Nothing left to wish.

I'll wish you a hard-on. Marina!
-Yeah?

Whatever Amikam drinks
is on us. His buddies pay.

Happy birthday, bro.
-Thanks.

Are you Eran? -Yes.
-Erez. Nice to meet you.

You're a little early.
-I thought I'd take in the atmosphere.

Let's go to my office.
-Sure.

On the phone I thought

you wanted to do a piece
about my club. -Yes, but...

Yes and no. I thought...

it'd be better face to face.

He worked here as a
bouncer for a year or so.

Did they beat him up
because he's an Arab

or because he claimed to be Jewish?
-I dunno,

you're talking
to the wrong man.

Go talk to Bolt Security.

I will, I just thought
you could help me first.

You know what? Leave me
your number, I'll think about it.

Blowing me off, huh?

You won't call.

Actually, I thought it was
strange that you called.

My club isn't for your readers.
-Why not?

Allenby St. is an autonomy.

Someone beat her up.

What happened?
-We don't know. -Did you see it?

Someone beat her up.
-Get her out of here.

Erez, are you there?
-What's the matter, Alex?

We've got trouble.
-What happened?

A girl got beat up.
She's all bloody. -A girl? -Yeah.

Outside?
-No, inside. She just came out.

Broken teeth.
-What!?

She's in bad shape.
-Did you close the doors?

Yeah, man.
-What a clown.

Nobody gets out, Alex.
-Okay. -Nobody. -All right.

I'll be back in two minutes, okay?
-Should I wait?

Yeah, give me two minutes.

Closed the doors, huh?
Where is she? -Here.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Mika honey, what happened?

Who did this to you, Mika?

Who was it? -I don't know.
-Calm down.

Where did it happen?
-I didn't see.

Don't worry,
we'll find the bastard.

I saw. -Who asked you?
-What did you see?

Some guy hit her.
-What did he look like?

Who was it? -With a beard and
a skullcap, in a leather jacket.

Okay, where did it happen?
-In the...

Where the DJ is.
-Alex, call her an ambulance.

Take her out back
and get her an ice-bag.

Why didn't you tell me who it was?
-I don't know her.

Don't you know Mika, Dima's girlfriend?
-Should I call Dima?

Are you crazy?
Dima? Is that what I need here now?

Where's your fucking head?

Can you get Nissim for me?
-Who are you? -Ido.

He knows what it's about.
Thanks.

What?
-Put on a little aftershave, did you?

Yeah. Well.
-You took a shower.

Why, didn't you?
-Yeah, but in water.

Guess I overdid it, huh?

Where did Stephanie disappear to?
-What are you worried about?

I have to get her
and another girl.

There's a birthday party
at my club.

Who's the other girl?
-I don't care,

whoever he gives me.

What if he gives you... me?

You want to?
-Sure.

Actually I like your aftershave.
I'll talk to him.

Beep.

Do you know the girl?
-Yeah, she's a regular.

A security guard's girlfriend.

Whoa... -What the...?
-Son of a bitch.

Well? Where is he?

What're you doing here?
-Dima told me. Where is he?

Where's who?
-The guy who beat her up.

Where's Dima?
-On the way. Did you catch him?

Come here take a look.

Him.
-Don't know him. Go on.

Son of a bitch!

Did they lock up right away?
-Yeah.

Show me his face again.

Who beats girls like that?

Bastards.
-But why? -Why?

She didn't want him.
-Hit her like this for that?

If I lay my hands on him, he's dead.
-Take it easy, will you?

Are you there?

Yeah, what's up?
-Police. -I'm coming.

He's ours, man.
You're not giving him to the police.

She's a brother's girlfriend.
-Did you find him already, or what?

I'm not kidding.
-I heard you.

You wanted some atmosphere, huh?
Wait here.

Who's he? -Eran.
-Eran. How's it going?

Erez! Erez!

What a babe.
How's it going, honey?

What's up?

What's up, man? -Nice to meet you.
Erez. -I'm Yasmin.

Yeah, she's...
-Irresistible.

No boobs, but what a mouth...

I noticed. -Okay.
-What's all this? Problems?

I'm taking care of it.
Take them to the office to dress.

Are you coming in?
-I'll be right there.

Listen, Ido,
the reporter is in the office.

Get him a drink. I don't want him
wandering. -Okay.

And stop looking at Stephanie
like a puppy-dog,

you won't get anywhere like that.

What's up? -How's it going?
-Did you see that shit?

Did you lock up right away?
-Yeah.

There's no way he got out.
-Who's the girl?

A client. Her name's Mika.

If we make him resist arrest,
will you beat him up a little?

Took it to heart, huh?
-Asi, he broke her teeth.

And he'll get off with
community service?

Man, if I didn't have that Kurd from
patrol on my head...

But he's a total square.
-You'll let him get away with it?

That's not like you.
-What do you want?

Talk to him. Everything by the book
with this guy.

You know what?
Let's talk to him. Tzion! Tzion!

Nice to meet you.
-Erez, the owner.

I hear this isn't
the first time you've had trouble.

Can't you handle
your own place?

I don't like it either.
It's bad for business.

But I can't put a security guy
for every customer.

Asi said you have security cameras.
-What? -Cameras.

I want to see them.
-I wish.

The computer crashed.

Bummer.
-Show me.

Show you what?
-Tzion, Erez is on our side.

He helps us a lot.
-Did I say he wasn't?

I just said I want
to see the cameras.

Yanai...

Take them to the office.
Through the storeroom.

He won't even pay for a drink,
you'll see.

Amikam tips big.

Whose phone is that?

Hello? -Are you still
in the office? -Yes.

I need a favor. It's important.
-What?

Can you lock the door?

Sure, why?

I'll explain. Listen.

On the black computer

is a box that says "infra-vision."

See it?
-Yeah.

There's someone at the door.
-Don't open.

Do you see the box?
-Open up, Ido. -I see it.

Don't open.
-There are wires in back.

Open up. Police.
-It's the police, man. What's going on?

Don't worry,

they're just bugging us all night.
-What do I do with the box?

Just pull out
the wires in the back.

Open up! We don't have all night!
-I'm getting dressed.

Did you do it?

Yes. -Good.
You can open the door.

Thanks, Eran. -Well?
-We're getting dressed,

what's up with you?
-You can open up.

Who are you? -Who are YOU?
-Police. -No! You're kidding!

We're getting dressed here!

Who are you?
-I'm with them.

Did they see anything?
-We just got here.

Someone assaulted a girl.
-Didn't you hear?

I don't know.
-You copy, Tzion? -Yeah.

We have a description.
-I'm on my way.

What happened?
-An assault. -What!?

I don't know. He said so.
-Wow. Are you okay? -No.

Everything's under control, sweetie.

Here. -Thanks.
-You're welcome.

Who was it? Him?

Listen... No, Dima, Dima!

Erez, I need you
to show us around.

Excuse us.

Occupied! -Finish up and get out.
-Can't a girl pee?

Open up. Police.
-Wait a second, I'm peeing!

Open up. Open up, I said!

What's wrong with you?
Can't a girl pee in peace?

Sorry, sweetheart.

Wait here.

I know what I'm saying.
Come with me.

Don't turn him in, bro.
-Don't piss me off, Effie,

I know what I'm saying.
Just keep an eye here.

Come with me.

Sit down.

I'll give him to you,
but first of all,

only after the cops leave.

Secondly, not here.
Not in my club, understand?

If it's going to be a probelm,
it's your problem.

I saw nothing, I heard nothing.
Thirdly, don't kill him.

If that doesn't suit your plans

I'll give him to the cops.
-Okay, okay.

Don't "okay" me. I want your word.

Okay. -Dima! I want your word.
-Word, word.

Where is he?

In the bathroom
where the cops were,

there's an Ethiopian girl
hiding him.

How do you know it's him?
-Maybe it's not.

Okay, okay.

Dima, your word.

Dima, let him have one!
-Not here.

Let him have one, I'm telling you!

If he shows up let me know.
-He won't.

I opened the doors already.

He's probably
in bed by now.

Don't take it so hard.

Want me to take
another look inside?

Maybe he's still dancing.
-Dancing?

After seeing all the cops?

I have to put a show on now.

What show?
-It's a client's birthday,

I brought two strippers.

Do you know who Chris Rock is?
-The comedian? -Yeah. -So?

He has this line:

"Ever since my daughter was born
all think of,

"is how to keep her
of the pole."

Can you believe
my eldest is almost eight?

Not long before she starts
going out.

Eight, huh?
-Yeah.

What's the show like?
Worth staying for?

When Jenna Jameson comes to strip
here I'll let you know.

Don't forget.
-See you. -Good night.

Bring them up.

Tonight's the night,
ladies and gentlemen.

Amikam doesn't have
a birthday every day.

And now, just for Amikam,
Allenby Dance Bar presents,

straight from the Go-Go,
Stephanie and Yasmin.

Enjoying yourself?

It's strange... all the...

Listen, Eran,
you saved me. Thanks.

What was it?

They think I work for them.

Twice a week
they check out my cameras.

Did they catch the guy
who beat up the girl? -Yeah.

Listen, I'll get you the number
of that Arab security guard.

Yeah? -Tell him Erez sent you.
-Thanks. -Sure.

What are you drinking? -Beer, thanks.
-Marina, get him a beer.

Some show you gave, huh?
-Me?

She had to keep herself
from doing him on the bar.

Why didn't I think of that?
Now you tell me?

Whoa, fuck.
-What is that?

This is what all the trouble
was about.

Come check this out.
-It's insane.

Oh my god. -Is that why
the cops were here?

I can't believe it...
-It's okay, honey.

It's okay.
-Leave me alone!

Who's the girl?
-I don't know.

Her name's Mika,
she tends bar at Xanadu.

Mika from Xanadu?

Stephanie, it's history.
It's over.

Are you doing public screenings?

What?
-Don't worry,

we won't tell.
-There's nothing to tell.

Oh yeah? They caught him?
-Yeah. What's with her?

Stephanie...

Why did you have to do that?
Don't you see she's crying?

Because of me?

Did I show her that?
-Be sensitive, man.

She's a delicate girl,
don't you see that?

Okay. Be happy.

Let her calm down,
get her a drink,

comfort her.
Here's your chance.

Isn't that right, Yasmin?
-You can call me Nookie.

I'm off duty.
-Isn't that right, Nookie?

So how do you know Mika?

From the Go-Go,
I've known her for years.

Is she a bartender?
-Stripper.

Still is.
Did she say she's a bartender?

You aren't the stripper type.
-You aren't the club owner type.

Can I be honest with you?

Not that I'm glad
you were crying.

The opposite. I'm sad.

But for me, it proves
what I always said, that

you're more than you appear to be.
-What's this? -Tequila.

Daniel, you got me wet!

Why don't you come to
our club any more?

Wet is good, isn't it?

I know you from somewhere.

Nice pickup line,
did you make it up yourself?

Actually,
I didn't think I needed one

after we escaped
the cops together.

Are you a friend of Ido and Erez?
-An acquaintance. Sort of.

Live around here?
-Just around the corner.

A minute away.

So you want to go to your place?
-What?

Was that "What, I didn't hear" or "What,
I can't believe she just said that?"

The second one.

Then I'll say it again.

Want to go to your place?

What's your problem?
You've got a dozen a dime here.

Go ahead and laugh, Erez.
You may not see it, but...

I can see her heart.
-Dude, wake up. She's a stripper.

You know what?
You have crush on her? Have a ball.

Come check this out.
It's from early this evening.

That's Mika, and that's the guy
who beat her up.

She came in with him?

And she didn't want to say
who beat her up.

Wait, that's not all.

That's Dima.
-Dima?

No way.
-Yes way.

Can you believe it?
Dima knows him too.

Did you talk to him?
-He's not answering.

Tell me...

If I treat her like a client first
will that ruin my chances?

Come on, Ido maybe a little occupational
therapy will help. Do the closing.

Give me a break.

Can you hear yourself?

I'm dealing with trouble all night
so you can chase your bimbo.

Relax. What's the matter with you?

Okay, forget it, Ido.

Are you staying? I have to
take my kid to school. -Okay.

How long have you been here?
-8 months.

Can I ask you something?
-Shoot.

How long
have you been doing this?

A few years.
-And what's it like?

What's what like? -Work.
-It's good money.

Not into small talk, huh?

You came.

You don't waste any time, do you?
-Look who's talking.

Why do you look so shocked?

That was a bit businesslike, wasn't it?
-It was, wasn't it? -Yeah.

Can I get you a drink?
I have beer or coffee.

No, I think I'll get going.

I'm supposed to pay you, right?
-What?

Do I look like a prostitute to you?
-No, I...

Hey! Wait. Sorry, I didn't mean
it in a bad way.

It's okay.

Fuck.

What's up, Erez?
-What is it? What happened?

I told you he might show up.
So he did. -Who?

The guy who beat up the girl
at your club. -Is that him?

He fits the description.
-No kidding.

Well, we wanted him to get some
so he got some.

Yeah, but not like this.

You didn't see him.
This wasn't just a slap-up.

It could be murder if he dies
on me now.

He may not make it
to the hospital.

Do you have a lead?
-Nope. So far.

Take it easy.
-Have a great day.

Omer?

I thought you were sleeping
at your place.

I didn't want to be alone.

I'm... going to work soon.

I know, but I sleep better
in your bed.

That's because you love me.

How was work?
-Okay.

Boring.

What were you thinking?

That you'd leave him half dead
and it would just be okay?

If you lie to the cops
they'll find out eventually.

It's not what you think.

You know what,
let's give it to the cops.

We lied to them, Ido.
Is that what you want to tell them?

Do you know Nookie, the stripper?

Do the girls there sleep with
the clients? -I'm not your type.

You're my heart, Mika.
You can't hide from me.

Not even in the grave.

You've got me into enough trouble.
I'll deal with this, understand?

If you find her first,
do what you like.

You can't fight
the whole world alone.

What a jerk.

That French stripper
turned his head.

She's clean,
but you're a piece of filth.

Are you cutting deals
at Dima's expense?

I just paid a lawyer 25.000 shekels
to bail Dima out.

You're asking me
to screw my client.

Either you're a client
or I meet you outside.

I don't let people cross over
from my night to my day.

Nobody else exists for you.

I'm not talking about love.
You don't know what love is.

I don't want to ruin it for you.
-You're not ruining anything.

It's nice that you take care
of such a girl...

What's "such a girl"?
-A whore.

I'm looking all over for her
and you hide her in your office?

If you don't get a grip,
they'll find you.

They'll pay.
-Are you Mika's brother?

Are you crazy?
-Aggravated assault.

You can go to jail for that.

I don't need anyone.

The Police. They want
the computer.

Are you deleting it?

If it rolls to my door,
I'm taking you down with me.

Effie squealed
and they let him go.

He sold your ass, Dima.

Why, Mika?

She doesn't give a shit
about anyone.

That's her. Las Vegas.

Look, don't come the club anymore, okay?

Nookie, I can't go on like this.

Are you spying on me?

Where is she? -I don't know.
-Does Erez know?

Don't worry, you're safe with me.
