Harem (2018): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript
The wash's done,
hang it out.
Who's in there? Hurry up!
Hey, don't open the door.
Your sight will be blurred
but don't worry.
I need your pupils dilated.
For how long?
An hour. Don't drive.
No problem, I'll just sit outside
and read a newspaper.
You won't be able to read.
Sorry, forgot to turn it off.
Sorry, can you read this for me?
"Dad, I want to see you.
Can you come?"
Wow.
Sorry,
this is important.
What...? -We'll make another
appointment, okay? Sorry.
I almost gave up.
It's been two years, Yoel.
- It's okay, darling,
everything's all right.
I knew it couldn't last forever.
She's not the type
you can lock up.
Yoel, I miss her so much.
Dad.
Maya honey.
Dad...
Come on!
- Sis!
You're so beautiful.
Shall we go in?
Look, I...
I can imagine
what you were thinking.
I know this place
looks weird, but it isn't.
It's first and foremost a family.
We aren't judging you.
We're just glad that after all this time...
- It's hard for me too, Mom.
Not that I didn't want to,
I just felt like...
Mom, it hurts when something's
so important to me
and you...
shun me.
- No.
You shun me.
- Maya, you're so wrong.
If you'd agreed...
If he'd have let you see us...
- It was his idea that we meet.
Why'd you think
we'd shun you?
I'm not saying we like it,
but shun you?
I told them.
Then I want...
I'm going to marry Shabtai.
It's not the usual kind of wedding,
It would be our way. And I want...
Dad, would you congratulate me?
You know how many times
I pictured this moment?
I rehearsed it in my mind,
I dreamt you'd say
what any father would.
"Congratulations," that's all.
You won't have to come
to any ceremony. - Maya.
We need time to let it sink in.
Okay?
It's not as if...
You have to understand,
to us it felt like you're a prisoner.
- I'm not a prisoner!
This is my home,
my family,
why can't you accept that?
Guri, you're so pretty.
How you've grown.
Tell them.
They treat me like I'm 7.
How's your rash?
The same.
- Getting treatment?
Not any more. It doesn't help.
I wear long sleeves.
You won't let him see her, would you?
Oh, now he cures skin diseases too?
Yes, now he cures skin diseases too.
I know you don't believe it,
but what if you're wrong?
What if he can?
Try two treatments, then we'll see.
You won't even let him try?
Guri, don't you want to give it a chance?
Hagar will not see him!
I see.
That's your "congratulations".
What are we, lepers?
You can't come near us?
She's still a kid, Maya.
- No I'm not, Dad.
I can speak for myself!
- The answer is no, Hagar.
Guri, do what's good for you. You don't
have to listen to them. Remember that.
- This meeting is over.
You can't tell me what to do.
You're in no position to decide.
Yes I am, it's my life.
You're too young.
See why she doesn't want to come back?
Hagar, it's much more complicated
than you think.
It's not complicated at all.
It's very simple.
It's your fault.
Excuse me?
- Gura!
That's right! You don't accept her.
Why is it your business?
He cured her migraines, Dad.
Hagar, you're not seeing him,
or Maya. Is that clear?
Osher has the worst handwriting.
I can't read a thing.
Can't she type for herself?
No, I type for everyone.
It's my reward for
knowing how to speed type.
And I don't trust her
to write every word...
She summarizes what he says, but...
every word counts.
How long does it take you?
Depends how long the lesson was.
No, I mean...
per week.
I don't know, a long time.
But it's a privilege.
I'm happy to do it.
This way I remember more.
Every word here is like...
fresh spring water.
I envy you.
Why?
I don't know.
Because you're his son.
What? - What? Um...
Should I put it back?
Sure.
Um... - Oh, right. I'll help you.
A little more.
Sorry.
Guri?
So what's he like?
Who, Shabtai?
Yeah.
He's...
something special.
Ever see his picture?
On the internet.
What did you think?
I don't know...
Kind of old, isn't he?
- Old?
I never thought of it that way.
Does it matter?
A doctor heals you.
Does it matter how old he is?
You'll see, Guri, it's like magic.
It's magic.
You remember my migraines.
He got rid of them.
He'll do the same for you.
What should I...
How do I call him?
"Shabtai"?
Like, "Hello, Shabtai"?
- Relax, sis.
Look in his eyes for a second
and you'll see.
He has kind eyes.
Relax, okay?
Okay? -Okay.
But you'd better have me
back at school by 2:30.
Dad's picking me up.
Dad still picks you up?
You're kidding.
Can you believe it?
Always?
- No.
Of course not.
It's just that he...
he caught me at Mikey's,
so now he's...
until it blows over.
I'm not talking to Mikey anyway
until he apologizes.
Shabtai can cure three cases of cancer
by 2:00.
No, just sayin'... knock on wood.
I didn't mean it.
Hello.
Let me introduce you.
This is my sister, Hagar.
Guri, this is Shabtai.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
Just a sec.
Nice indeed.
Yeah.
Should I put the meter on?
Your sister has a sharp tongue.
Did she tease you a lot
when you were kids?
Hey, I was a great big sister.
Right, Guri?
A little.
Sometimes.
But not in a mean way.
She thinks her boyfriend will love her more
if her rash goes away.
Hey!
Now that WAS mean. Not true.
That's not what I said.
- Don't I know you, sis?
Drive to the beach
by Independence Park.
The beach? What for?
I don't need a treatment table
for her.
It's in her head, not her body.
Come here.
Close your eyes.
Close them.
Describe the dog as he appeared
at the beginning of the dream.
He's tied
in the front yard
and he...
doesn't bark,
he just bares his teeth.
The front yard.
So the dog belongs to the house.
Who protects you in your house?
My dad.
- See?
You've got brains.
Now you just have to learn to use them.
Your father protects you
but it's become an obsession.
It's attacking you.
No, but...
my dad has good intentions,
the dog in the dream is bad.
Did I say your father
has bad intentions?
No, he thinks it's for your own good.
And it's true.
But that domination
is love
turned upside-down.
What's the opposite of love?
Control.
What's that got to do
with my rash, though?
Let's see.
Who does your rash keep away?
What was your boyfriend's
name again?
Mikey. - Mikey.
Who wants to keep Mikey away?
My dad.
Now you see the whole picture.
The rash means that your soul
is letting your father control you.
You have a very sensitive soul.
You avoid conflict.
And it brings you back to your father
by speaking through your body.
He may be domineering,
but you're the one
who lets him dominate you.
Understand?
Is the rash serious?
The rash doesn't matter.
I wish that was her only problem.
There's darkness there.
In Hagar?
What darkness?
I can't tell yet.
But you see your sister
laughing, smiling.
I see the future.
Like an x-ray.
I see a skull and...
I'm scared.
I hope I'm wrong.
But what's the problem?
She needs help.
Then she'll skip school.
I'll bring her here
and you can treat her.
Don't bring her. Be gentle.
Of course.
A treatment here and there
isn't enough.
So what do we do?
There must be something.
What?
She needs a family,
she needs a safe environment.
She needs support.
- What? -She needs...
light around her.
To move in with us?
What?
No way.
No way! My parents...
They'll go ballistic.
You're worried about THEM?
I'm talking about great darkness
and you're talking
about your parents?
What?
What's your problem?
My dad barely lets her
out of the house.
You want to reach a higher spiritual plane?
You want to be worthy of
bearing children for the family?
Here's your chance.
Leave your ego behind.
Bring a soul to the light.
That's how you climb the ladder.
What kind of treatment was it?
He asked me things.
What kind of things?
About my dreams.
What's that got to do with it?
- A lot.
He said it's psychological,
that I'm sensitive.
Psychological?
And what psychological problems do you have?
That I...
I do what others want,
not what I want.
I see. What others want.
And that's why you have a rash.
And who are these "others"?
Your parents, by any chance?
Oh, please...
Guri, you're a big girl now.
You can see what he's doing, right?
He's not treating you.
He's playing with your mind,
trying to turn you against us.
- Dad, I'm not stupid.
What d'you think... he can -
can change my thoughts in a second?
- Gura,
Maya isn't stupid either.
He's a dangerous man.
So I'll just have two sessions
and if it doesn't help I'll stop,
okay?
No two sessions,
not even one.
There, you see?
You're always telling me what to do.
I'm not allowed to see Mikey,
I'm not allowed to treat my rash,
I'm not allowed to come home after midnight...
I can't do this, can't do that..
Am I allowed to breathe?
Did he touch you?
What?
Did he touch you?
Of course not!
Then what kind of treatment was it?
...Talking?
What d'you mean 'touch'? He...
put his hands on my shoulders.
How?
What do you mean, how?
Like this. Why does it matter?
Over or under your shirt?
Here! What difference does it make?
It wasn't like that!
What are you doing?
This stays with me
until further notice.
Dad! You think he'll kidnap
me through my iphone?
I'm not taking any chances
this time.
So how will you know where I am?
I'll know exactly where you are -
either at school or at home,
nowhere else, until further notice.
Oh, come on...!
Mom!
You're out of your minds!
Hagar... - Let her cool off, Tikva.
- Hagar, come here.
Leave her alone.
Over my dead body this time.
Hello, my lovely.
I'm not your lovely. Listen here,
scumbag, this is Yoel Levine.
If you think you're above the law,
that you'll get away with this,
you're mistaken,
because this time
I'm going to the police.
The police?
- Yes, the police.
You stay away from my daughter
before something happens
that you'll regret.
You know,
girls that don't get comfort at home
look for it elsewhere.
If comforting was against the law...
- You listen here!
If comforting was against the law
maybe I'd be afraid of you.
But you know what?
You're the one that's afraid.
You...
- Your voice is trembling.
You can tell the police, not me, how you
comfort little girls.
And don't you dare call this number
or I'll report you for harassment.
What will you tell the police, Yoel?
That he touched her shoulders?
He touched her shoulders and whispered
in her ear that she has a sensitive soul.
A man over 50, a 17-year-old girl,
what does it look like?
We know where this leads.
That's not enough to convict him.
Depends how
she describes it, no?
What?
One day you'll be a mother
and you'll understand.
Parents have to protect their children,
even if the children don't understand.
It's a given.
What does he want from me?
Does he think I'm a fool?
Nothing else worked.
Look at your sister.
I'm sitting there talking to her and...
she's like a stranger.
How do you explain that?
Him turning her against us like this?
Oh, please, Mom.
Maybe she's happy.
Maybe you're overreacting.
Ever thought of that?
I don't think
you realize how serious this is.
He was investigated, Gura,
serious charges.
How do you know?
It was in the papers,
your dad has...
a whole archive.
Does that mean it's true?
You think Maya's stupid?
- No.
Maya's a prisoner.
Fine, whatever.
Gura,
Dad thinks you should
go to the police.
For what?
For what he did to you.
He didn't do anything.
You want me to lie?
- No, don't lie.
It's just a matter of how you tell it.
You're a big girl.
I trust you
to find a way of telling it
so they understand.
Really, Gura,
a 50-year-old man
touching you,
whispering things in your ear...
Does that sound
innocent to you?
It doesn't sound innocent to me
and it won't to the police either.
It's a sensitive issue nowadays.
I'll come with you.
You can be flexible
with the way you tell it.
He'll end up marrying her.
You want us to stand there
and let him?
"Message from Mom:
It's Hagar. Can you talk?"
"Quinoa salad sprinkled with Roquefort
and pear slices when in season".
When are pears out of season?
52 shekels for a salad.
Are you really going
to marry him?
Yes.
I mean, he hasn't said so yet,
but...
he's hinting at it, I can tell.
When I'm ready.
- What does "ready" mean?
When I reach a higher
spiritual plane.
I realize not everyone can understand.
- No...
He was interrogated about
some stepdaughter
that he kept locked up.
They said it's a satanic cult.
Mom told me.
It was in the newspaper.
It was in the newspaper.
So they made it up?
People are so cruel.
He tried to help her.
Because he cares.
Until the authorities intervened.
What does that mean?
It means that the newspapers
write whatever they want.
The government is ruthless.
She got into drugs.
He tried to rehabilitate her.
How he suffered...
And then they condemn him for it?
He's suffered so much for
all the good he's done.
You know how many letters
he gets from people he saved?
But they don't publish that, do they?
They want me to go
to the police.
What?
And say that...
that Shabtai...
That he what?
That he touched me.
They have no shame.
I was there.
Would I let him hurt you?
I told them that.
Dad said they'll go either way, so...
just so you know.
- I see.
What will you say?
- You think I'll say something?
They won't leave me alone, huh?
Shouldn't I ask?
What?
I'm asking what it's for
and you're ignoring me.
Take it, it's okay.
But you're hiding something.
What is it?
- Drop it, Mom.
Is it a girl?
Of course not.
I just... want to buy Maya
something for her room.
There's no light in there.
What for, Ariel?
Can't she buy it herself?
She can, but she won't.
I don't know...
What?
Don't get your hopes up.
Now?
Wait.
She's been here for two years
and he still hasn't taken her.
Did he say anything to you?
Maybe I should talk to him first.
No, no, no Mom. Don't -
don't get ideas in his head.
- Don't you trust me?
Mom, look at me.
Please don't.
I'm serious.
What're you waiting for?
Ow!
Are you okay? -Ow.
Are you okay?
I'm okay...
- Did it come out?
What do you think?
- Then where is it?
Don't just stand there -
help us look for it!
Dad, we don't need another fridge for that.
It depends how many kids you feed,
not where they sleep.
Two fridges on each floor
is plenty.
What's this? Yuck.
What is this?
What is it?
It's a tooth.
Oh, that's...
- How did it get into the food?
I'm sorry, it's my fault.
But how did it get here?
It's our fault.
Rachella helped me pull it.
What?
With the window.
You tied it to the window and boom?
Yes, it went flying.
We couldn't find it.
You're really something.
Well done.
Can I have a toothless serving?
Sure.
I'm sorry.
I gave you 350 shekels for the dentist.
Didn't you go?
I took care of it myself.
Then you have to give
the money back.
I gave it to Ariel.
That should come from your own pocket.
Why should we all pay for your son?
Leave her alone.
He deserves it.
Can I ask what it was for?
- No.
I said drop it.
If you keep arguing,
you can cover it yourself.
Don't you want to sit with us?
I need to talk to you.
Did you see her?
Yes.
Where to? - None of your business.
- Then what about the fridge?
Avishag can decide.
Two refrigerators.
They want to go to the police...
my parents.
What? Why?
To say that you...
touched Hagar,
that it was immoral or something.
Look at that... your father...
He just won't leave you alone.
He'll go to the police,
I know him.
I believe you.
He'll stop at nothing.
Your sister, too?
Of course not, she doesn't want to
but they'll go without her.
- He can break her.
He desires her.
What?
Didn't you hear me?
No way!
He's not like that...
- Well, I'm telling you.
Why do think she has a rash?
Because she's warding him off.
Making herself undesirable
because, unconsciously,
she's protecting herself.
You think so?
Did he ever touch you?
What? Never!
He isn't like that.
I'm telling you, I know him.
- I ask you one thing
and you answer another.
I asked: Did he ever touch you?
- No.
Well, he didn't love you
like he loves her.
You're the black sheep.
"He's not like that," she says.
"He's not like that".
He loved me very much.
- But not like he loves her.
What now?
Don't be like that.
Stop thinking of yourself,
because he's this close
like a crocodile.
It's all becoming clear now.
Imagine.
It's transference.
He wants her
so he accuses me of his sickness.
See how a perverted mind works?
We have to get her out,
her life is at stake.
But how?
What's your greatest trait?
Will power.
Put your ego aside.
There's no time to hesitate.
Be brave.
What should I do?
Do I know them or do you?
Sometimes for the sake
of a great truth
many small things are permitted.
Understand?
Yes.
Be fearless.
You realize he controls her?
That's not easy to prove.
My daughter is in a cult.
You know what happens in cults?
That doesn't matter now.
I'm not a judge, I'm a detective.
I investigate complaints.
I don't decide which
complaints to investigate.
Does it make sense to you
that she waited five years?
It can happen.
Now she remembers?
- That's not the point.
It's common in cases of sexual assault,
especially within the family,
that it takes the girl time to find
the courage to complain.
Courage?
She's not a free person.
Don't you realize it should be him
sitting here, not me?
That man has been
accused of rape
and you're investigating me?
If there's a complaint against him
we'll investigate.
We've investigated him before.
Nothing came of it.
Can you bring Maya here?
Let her look me in the eye,
you'll see, she'll never say
I touched her.
It doesn't work that way.
Listen,
I'm not saying you're guilty.
Not at all.
Believe me.
But until we prove you aren't,
we have to assume you are.
Okay. Fine.
I understand.
You have to do your job.
But can you keep her
away from him
until you clear this up?
That man controls her.
On what grounds?
At the moment, it's you we have to
keep away from your daughters.
That's procedure.
That's what we do in these cases.
Until the investigation is over.
I can put a gag order on it,
make sure your name
doesn't get out.
For now.
What? I wouldn't overlook such a thing.
What are you talking about?
I know what goes on in my house.
Mmm... Those closest are often the last to see.
Sadly, It's very common.
Many people respond just like you.
I'm not just a statistic,
she's my daughter.
I know her and I know my husband.
I'm not disagreeing, Tikva.
It won't help to get mad at me.
It's not the Welfare Ministry's job
to judge.
We're waiting for the police results
just like you.
And I hope it all turns out
to be a misunderstanding.
It's not a misunderstanding.
Our eldest daughter is under
the influence of that cult.
Believe me, Tikva, nobody,
including the police,
wants to find out that it's true.
But for now
we have no choice.
We have to do this. Okay?
You'll regret this.
Gura,
don't worry, okay?
You'll be back home soon.
She'll be in good hands, Tikva.
Are you okay, Hagar?
Sure.
I know how you feel.
You think so?
I grew up in foster homes all my life.
I know the feeling.
I'm not staying there.
It's just for now.
It's not so bad, you'll see.
Let's get through the night
and see how you feel tomorrow, okay?
I'll give you something
to help you sleep.
Shabtai's looking for you.
Stop, stop everything.
Come here.
Is everyone here?
Just recently- I told Maya,
that in order to be worthy
of becoming a wife
she must move up to a higher spiritual plane.
She must be able
to put others before her.
And Maya, all by herself,
moved up a spiritual plane.
She saved a soul.
I said she'd be worthy
of being a wife,
and here, it's happened.
I hope I'm worthy of you.
And Ariel, my eldest son,
has also reached marriageable age.
And a voice from Heaven whispered
that these two are destined
for each other.
Maya and Ariel,
Ariel and Maya.
"Who knows the way
of a man and a maid?"
When you understand,
you'll be glad,
for you were made for each other.
Why the long face?
Sit down.
Congratulations!
The sound of rejoicing
The voice of bride and groom
The sound of rejoicing...
hang it out.
Who's in there? Hurry up!
Hey, don't open the door.
Your sight will be blurred
but don't worry.
I need your pupils dilated.
For how long?
An hour. Don't drive.
No problem, I'll just sit outside
and read a newspaper.
You won't be able to read.
Sorry, forgot to turn it off.
Sorry, can you read this for me?
"Dad, I want to see you.
Can you come?"
Wow.
Sorry,
this is important.
What...? -We'll make another
appointment, okay? Sorry.
I almost gave up.
It's been two years, Yoel.
- It's okay, darling,
everything's all right.
I knew it couldn't last forever.
She's not the type
you can lock up.
Yoel, I miss her so much.
Dad.
Maya honey.
Dad...
Come on!
- Sis!
You're so beautiful.
Shall we go in?
Look, I...
I can imagine
what you were thinking.
I know this place
looks weird, but it isn't.
It's first and foremost a family.
We aren't judging you.
We're just glad that after all this time...
- It's hard for me too, Mom.
Not that I didn't want to,
I just felt like...
Mom, it hurts when something's
so important to me
and you...
shun me.
- No.
You shun me.
- Maya, you're so wrong.
If you'd agreed...
If he'd have let you see us...
- It was his idea that we meet.
Why'd you think
we'd shun you?
I'm not saying we like it,
but shun you?
I told them.
Then I want...
I'm going to marry Shabtai.
It's not the usual kind of wedding,
It would be our way. And I want...
Dad, would you congratulate me?
You know how many times
I pictured this moment?
I rehearsed it in my mind,
I dreamt you'd say
what any father would.
"Congratulations," that's all.
You won't have to come
to any ceremony. - Maya.
We need time to let it sink in.
Okay?
It's not as if...
You have to understand,
to us it felt like you're a prisoner.
- I'm not a prisoner!
This is my home,
my family,
why can't you accept that?
Guri, you're so pretty.
How you've grown.
Tell them.
They treat me like I'm 7.
How's your rash?
The same.
- Getting treatment?
Not any more. It doesn't help.
I wear long sleeves.
You won't let him see her, would you?
Oh, now he cures skin diseases too?
Yes, now he cures skin diseases too.
I know you don't believe it,
but what if you're wrong?
What if he can?
Try two treatments, then we'll see.
You won't even let him try?
Guri, don't you want to give it a chance?
Hagar will not see him!
I see.
That's your "congratulations".
What are we, lepers?
You can't come near us?
She's still a kid, Maya.
- No I'm not, Dad.
I can speak for myself!
- The answer is no, Hagar.
Guri, do what's good for you. You don't
have to listen to them. Remember that.
- This meeting is over.
You can't tell me what to do.
You're in no position to decide.
Yes I am, it's my life.
You're too young.
See why she doesn't want to come back?
Hagar, it's much more complicated
than you think.
It's not complicated at all.
It's very simple.
It's your fault.
Excuse me?
- Gura!
That's right! You don't accept her.
Why is it your business?
He cured her migraines, Dad.
Hagar, you're not seeing him,
or Maya. Is that clear?
Osher has the worst handwriting.
I can't read a thing.
Can't she type for herself?
No, I type for everyone.
It's my reward for
knowing how to speed type.
And I don't trust her
to write every word...
She summarizes what he says, but...
every word counts.
How long does it take you?
Depends how long the lesson was.
No, I mean...
per week.
I don't know, a long time.
But it's a privilege.
I'm happy to do it.
This way I remember more.
Every word here is like...
fresh spring water.
I envy you.
Why?
I don't know.
Because you're his son.
What? - What? Um...
Should I put it back?
Sure.
Um... - Oh, right. I'll help you.
A little more.
Sorry.
Guri?
So what's he like?
Who, Shabtai?
Yeah.
He's...
something special.
Ever see his picture?
On the internet.
What did you think?
I don't know...
Kind of old, isn't he?
- Old?
I never thought of it that way.
Does it matter?
A doctor heals you.
Does it matter how old he is?
You'll see, Guri, it's like magic.
It's magic.
You remember my migraines.
He got rid of them.
He'll do the same for you.
What should I...
How do I call him?
"Shabtai"?
Like, "Hello, Shabtai"?
- Relax, sis.
Look in his eyes for a second
and you'll see.
He has kind eyes.
Relax, okay?
Okay? -Okay.
But you'd better have me
back at school by 2:30.
Dad's picking me up.
Dad still picks you up?
You're kidding.
Can you believe it?
Always?
- No.
Of course not.
It's just that he...
he caught me at Mikey's,
so now he's...
until it blows over.
I'm not talking to Mikey anyway
until he apologizes.
Shabtai can cure three cases of cancer
by 2:00.
No, just sayin'... knock on wood.
I didn't mean it.
Hello.
Let me introduce you.
This is my sister, Hagar.
Guri, this is Shabtai.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
Just a sec.
Nice indeed.
Yeah.
Should I put the meter on?
Your sister has a sharp tongue.
Did she tease you a lot
when you were kids?
Hey, I was a great big sister.
Right, Guri?
A little.
Sometimes.
But not in a mean way.
She thinks her boyfriend will love her more
if her rash goes away.
Hey!
Now that WAS mean. Not true.
That's not what I said.
- Don't I know you, sis?
Drive to the beach
by Independence Park.
The beach? What for?
I don't need a treatment table
for her.
It's in her head, not her body.
Come here.
Close your eyes.
Close them.
Describe the dog as he appeared
at the beginning of the dream.
He's tied
in the front yard
and he...
doesn't bark,
he just bares his teeth.
The front yard.
So the dog belongs to the house.
Who protects you in your house?
My dad.
- See?
You've got brains.
Now you just have to learn to use them.
Your father protects you
but it's become an obsession.
It's attacking you.
No, but...
my dad has good intentions,
the dog in the dream is bad.
Did I say your father
has bad intentions?
No, he thinks it's for your own good.
And it's true.
But that domination
is love
turned upside-down.
What's the opposite of love?
Control.
What's that got to do
with my rash, though?
Let's see.
Who does your rash keep away?
What was your boyfriend's
name again?
Mikey. - Mikey.
Who wants to keep Mikey away?
My dad.
Now you see the whole picture.
The rash means that your soul
is letting your father control you.
You have a very sensitive soul.
You avoid conflict.
And it brings you back to your father
by speaking through your body.
He may be domineering,
but you're the one
who lets him dominate you.
Understand?
Is the rash serious?
The rash doesn't matter.
I wish that was her only problem.
There's darkness there.
In Hagar?
What darkness?
I can't tell yet.
But you see your sister
laughing, smiling.
I see the future.
Like an x-ray.
I see a skull and...
I'm scared.
I hope I'm wrong.
But what's the problem?
She needs help.
Then she'll skip school.
I'll bring her here
and you can treat her.
Don't bring her. Be gentle.
Of course.
A treatment here and there
isn't enough.
So what do we do?
There must be something.
What?
She needs a family,
she needs a safe environment.
She needs support.
- What? -She needs...
light around her.
To move in with us?
What?
No way.
No way! My parents...
They'll go ballistic.
You're worried about THEM?
I'm talking about great darkness
and you're talking
about your parents?
What?
What's your problem?
My dad barely lets her
out of the house.
You want to reach a higher spiritual plane?
You want to be worthy of
bearing children for the family?
Here's your chance.
Leave your ego behind.
Bring a soul to the light.
That's how you climb the ladder.
What kind of treatment was it?
He asked me things.
What kind of things?
About my dreams.
What's that got to do with it?
- A lot.
He said it's psychological,
that I'm sensitive.
Psychological?
And what psychological problems do you have?
That I...
I do what others want,
not what I want.
I see. What others want.
And that's why you have a rash.
And who are these "others"?
Your parents, by any chance?
Oh, please...
Guri, you're a big girl now.
You can see what he's doing, right?
He's not treating you.
He's playing with your mind,
trying to turn you against us.
- Dad, I'm not stupid.
What d'you think... he can -
can change my thoughts in a second?
- Gura,
Maya isn't stupid either.
He's a dangerous man.
So I'll just have two sessions
and if it doesn't help I'll stop,
okay?
No two sessions,
not even one.
There, you see?
You're always telling me what to do.
I'm not allowed to see Mikey,
I'm not allowed to treat my rash,
I'm not allowed to come home after midnight...
I can't do this, can't do that..
Am I allowed to breathe?
Did he touch you?
What?
Did he touch you?
Of course not!
Then what kind of treatment was it?
...Talking?
What d'you mean 'touch'? He...
put his hands on my shoulders.
How?
What do you mean, how?
Like this. Why does it matter?
Over or under your shirt?
Here! What difference does it make?
It wasn't like that!
What are you doing?
This stays with me
until further notice.
Dad! You think he'll kidnap
me through my iphone?
I'm not taking any chances
this time.
So how will you know where I am?
I'll know exactly where you are -
either at school or at home,
nowhere else, until further notice.
Oh, come on...!
Mom!
You're out of your minds!
Hagar... - Let her cool off, Tikva.
- Hagar, come here.
Leave her alone.
Over my dead body this time.
Hello, my lovely.
I'm not your lovely. Listen here,
scumbag, this is Yoel Levine.
If you think you're above the law,
that you'll get away with this,
you're mistaken,
because this time
I'm going to the police.
The police?
- Yes, the police.
You stay away from my daughter
before something happens
that you'll regret.
You know,
girls that don't get comfort at home
look for it elsewhere.
If comforting was against the law...
- You listen here!
If comforting was against the law
maybe I'd be afraid of you.
But you know what?
You're the one that's afraid.
You...
- Your voice is trembling.
You can tell the police, not me, how you
comfort little girls.
And don't you dare call this number
or I'll report you for harassment.
What will you tell the police, Yoel?
That he touched her shoulders?
He touched her shoulders and whispered
in her ear that she has a sensitive soul.
A man over 50, a 17-year-old girl,
what does it look like?
We know where this leads.
That's not enough to convict him.
Depends how
she describes it, no?
What?
One day you'll be a mother
and you'll understand.
Parents have to protect their children,
even if the children don't understand.
It's a given.
What does he want from me?
Does he think I'm a fool?
Nothing else worked.
Look at your sister.
I'm sitting there talking to her and...
she's like a stranger.
How do you explain that?
Him turning her against us like this?
Oh, please, Mom.
Maybe she's happy.
Maybe you're overreacting.
Ever thought of that?
I don't think
you realize how serious this is.
He was investigated, Gura,
serious charges.
How do you know?
It was in the papers,
your dad has...
a whole archive.
Does that mean it's true?
You think Maya's stupid?
- No.
Maya's a prisoner.
Fine, whatever.
Gura,
Dad thinks you should
go to the police.
For what?
For what he did to you.
He didn't do anything.
You want me to lie?
- No, don't lie.
It's just a matter of how you tell it.
You're a big girl.
I trust you
to find a way of telling it
so they understand.
Really, Gura,
a 50-year-old man
touching you,
whispering things in your ear...
Does that sound
innocent to you?
It doesn't sound innocent to me
and it won't to the police either.
It's a sensitive issue nowadays.
I'll come with you.
You can be flexible
with the way you tell it.
He'll end up marrying her.
You want us to stand there
and let him?
"Message from Mom:
It's Hagar. Can you talk?"
"Quinoa salad sprinkled with Roquefort
and pear slices when in season".
When are pears out of season?
52 shekels for a salad.
Are you really going
to marry him?
Yes.
I mean, he hasn't said so yet,
but...
he's hinting at it, I can tell.
When I'm ready.
- What does "ready" mean?
When I reach a higher
spiritual plane.
I realize not everyone can understand.
- No...
He was interrogated about
some stepdaughter
that he kept locked up.
They said it's a satanic cult.
Mom told me.
It was in the newspaper.
It was in the newspaper.
So they made it up?
People are so cruel.
He tried to help her.
Because he cares.
Until the authorities intervened.
What does that mean?
It means that the newspapers
write whatever they want.
The government is ruthless.
She got into drugs.
He tried to rehabilitate her.
How he suffered...
And then they condemn him for it?
He's suffered so much for
all the good he's done.
You know how many letters
he gets from people he saved?
But they don't publish that, do they?
They want me to go
to the police.
What?
And say that...
that Shabtai...
That he what?
That he touched me.
They have no shame.
I was there.
Would I let him hurt you?
I told them that.
Dad said they'll go either way, so...
just so you know.
- I see.
What will you say?
- You think I'll say something?
They won't leave me alone, huh?
Shouldn't I ask?
What?
I'm asking what it's for
and you're ignoring me.
Take it, it's okay.
But you're hiding something.
What is it?
- Drop it, Mom.
Is it a girl?
Of course not.
I just... want to buy Maya
something for her room.
There's no light in there.
What for, Ariel?
Can't she buy it herself?
She can, but she won't.
I don't know...
What?
Don't get your hopes up.
Now?
Wait.
She's been here for two years
and he still hasn't taken her.
Did he say anything to you?
Maybe I should talk to him first.
No, no, no Mom. Don't -
don't get ideas in his head.
- Don't you trust me?
Mom, look at me.
Please don't.
I'm serious.
What're you waiting for?
Ow!
Are you okay? -Ow.
Are you okay?
I'm okay...
- Did it come out?
What do you think?
- Then where is it?
Don't just stand there -
help us look for it!
Dad, we don't need another fridge for that.
It depends how many kids you feed,
not where they sleep.
Two fridges on each floor
is plenty.
What's this? Yuck.
What is this?
What is it?
It's a tooth.
Oh, that's...
- How did it get into the food?
I'm sorry, it's my fault.
But how did it get here?
It's our fault.
Rachella helped me pull it.
What?
With the window.
You tied it to the window and boom?
Yes, it went flying.
We couldn't find it.
You're really something.
Well done.
Can I have a toothless serving?
Sure.
I'm sorry.
I gave you 350 shekels for the dentist.
Didn't you go?
I took care of it myself.
Then you have to give
the money back.
I gave it to Ariel.
That should come from your own pocket.
Why should we all pay for your son?
Leave her alone.
He deserves it.
Can I ask what it was for?
- No.
I said drop it.
If you keep arguing,
you can cover it yourself.
Don't you want to sit with us?
I need to talk to you.
Did you see her?
Yes.
Where to? - None of your business.
- Then what about the fridge?
Avishag can decide.
Two refrigerators.
They want to go to the police...
my parents.
What? Why?
To say that you...
touched Hagar,
that it was immoral or something.
Look at that... your father...
He just won't leave you alone.
He'll go to the police,
I know him.
I believe you.
He'll stop at nothing.
Your sister, too?
Of course not, she doesn't want to
but they'll go without her.
- He can break her.
He desires her.
What?
Didn't you hear me?
No way!
He's not like that...
- Well, I'm telling you.
Why do think she has a rash?
Because she's warding him off.
Making herself undesirable
because, unconsciously,
she's protecting herself.
You think so?
Did he ever touch you?
What? Never!
He isn't like that.
I'm telling you, I know him.
- I ask you one thing
and you answer another.
I asked: Did he ever touch you?
- No.
Well, he didn't love you
like he loves her.
You're the black sheep.
"He's not like that," she says.
"He's not like that".
He loved me very much.
- But not like he loves her.
What now?
Don't be like that.
Stop thinking of yourself,
because he's this close
like a crocodile.
It's all becoming clear now.
Imagine.
It's transference.
He wants her
so he accuses me of his sickness.
See how a perverted mind works?
We have to get her out,
her life is at stake.
But how?
What's your greatest trait?
Will power.
Put your ego aside.
There's no time to hesitate.
Be brave.
What should I do?
Do I know them or do you?
Sometimes for the sake
of a great truth
many small things are permitted.
Understand?
Yes.
Be fearless.
You realize he controls her?
That's not easy to prove.
My daughter is in a cult.
You know what happens in cults?
That doesn't matter now.
I'm not a judge, I'm a detective.
I investigate complaints.
I don't decide which
complaints to investigate.
Does it make sense to you
that she waited five years?
It can happen.
Now she remembers?
- That's not the point.
It's common in cases of sexual assault,
especially within the family,
that it takes the girl time to find
the courage to complain.
Courage?
She's not a free person.
Don't you realize it should be him
sitting here, not me?
That man has been
accused of rape
and you're investigating me?
If there's a complaint against him
we'll investigate.
We've investigated him before.
Nothing came of it.
Can you bring Maya here?
Let her look me in the eye,
you'll see, she'll never say
I touched her.
It doesn't work that way.
Listen,
I'm not saying you're guilty.
Not at all.
Believe me.
But until we prove you aren't,
we have to assume you are.
Okay. Fine.
I understand.
You have to do your job.
But can you keep her
away from him
until you clear this up?
That man controls her.
On what grounds?
At the moment, it's you we have to
keep away from your daughters.
That's procedure.
That's what we do in these cases.
Until the investigation is over.
I can put a gag order on it,
make sure your name
doesn't get out.
For now.
What? I wouldn't overlook such a thing.
What are you talking about?
I know what goes on in my house.
Mmm... Those closest are often the last to see.
Sadly, It's very common.
Many people respond just like you.
I'm not just a statistic,
she's my daughter.
I know her and I know my husband.
I'm not disagreeing, Tikva.
It won't help to get mad at me.
It's not the Welfare Ministry's job
to judge.
We're waiting for the police results
just like you.
And I hope it all turns out
to be a misunderstanding.
It's not a misunderstanding.
Our eldest daughter is under
the influence of that cult.
Believe me, Tikva, nobody,
including the police,
wants to find out that it's true.
But for now
we have no choice.
We have to do this. Okay?
You'll regret this.
Gura,
don't worry, okay?
You'll be back home soon.
She'll be in good hands, Tikva.
Are you okay, Hagar?
Sure.
I know how you feel.
You think so?
I grew up in foster homes all my life.
I know the feeling.
I'm not staying there.
It's just for now.
It's not so bad, you'll see.
Let's get through the night
and see how you feel tomorrow, okay?
I'll give you something
to help you sleep.
Shabtai's looking for you.
Stop, stop everything.
Come here.
Is everyone here?
Just recently- I told Maya,
that in order to be worthy
of becoming a wife
she must move up to a higher spiritual plane.
She must be able
to put others before her.
And Maya, all by herself,
moved up a spiritual plane.
She saved a soul.
I said she'd be worthy
of being a wife,
and here, it's happened.
I hope I'm worthy of you.
And Ariel, my eldest son,
has also reached marriageable age.
And a voice from Heaven whispered
that these two are destined
for each other.
Maya and Ariel,
Ariel and Maya.
"Who knows the way
of a man and a maid?"
When you understand,
you'll be glad,
for you were made for each other.
Why the long face?
Sit down.
Congratulations!
The sound of rejoicing
The voice of bride and groom
The sound of rejoicing...
