Harem (2018): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript
Hey. -Hey.
Still asleep?
-Yeah.
Guri.
I thought you were still asleep.
-Maya!
What're you doing here?
-I thought you were asleep.
You packed your things?
I'm not staying here
-Why? What's wrong?
Yuck! No way!
I don't even know why I agreed to come.
She gave me some pill,
I don't even remember getting into bed.
She was worried about you.
-What?
What're you doing here?
Shabtai has connections.
D'you really think we'd let them dump
you in some foster home?
What do you mean?
Ariana is one of his students.
She's on our side, Guri,
on your side.
Can you believe it? We're neighbors!
Our house is two blocks away.
Guri,
stay here a night or two
and when everything cools down
you can move in with me.
What?
What?
Hello. -Hello.
Are you Galit?
-Yes.
You're Hagar's mom.
-Yes.
You must be worried about her,
but she's fine. She's still asleep.
Can you wake her up?
I... uh... I brought her some things.
Better not, she took a pill
and she's still sort of in shock.
Best to let her sleep as much as she can.
Do you...uh... want to leave her things here?
No.
I'll come back later.
When will she be up?
Eh... I don't know.
Do you want to call and check?
I tried, her phone is off.
So I'll tell her to turn it on
when she wakes up.
Bye then.
"Title Sequence"
How old were you
when it started?
Dad?
Yeah.
Guri, I wouldn't have
said anything
if I wasn't scared sick about you.
It can't be.
But,
it happened.
How come I didn't know?
I'm so stupid.
You were little.
How could you have known?
I'm such an idiot.
Guri, can I ask you a favor?
-Sure.
I don't like opening old wounds
It's like....
I've closed that door
and wouldn't have opened it
at all if I wasn't scared for you.
Let's just leave it, okay?
Sure. Sorry.
I have to go to work.
I'll be back early today.
Will you come over?
Want to see how to
cook lunch for 40 kids?
Wow.
-That's nothing.
People don't know but...
That's how people used to live.
They never knew what loneliness was .
You go with Maya,
I'll stay and keep an eye on Hagar.
I can stay till noon.
-No need.
Purify yourself.
There must be no impurity here,
Shabtai's coming here later.
Where's her cell phone?
-I have it.
Give me, I'll look after it.
Like this....
It isn't from the market.
-No?
No.
Very good.
Where's yours from?
-Here are more tomatoes.
Too bad.
Oh, more tomato.
No, just one slice.
So I got a few different colors.
Grandma! -Grandma!
One at a time.
-Good morning.
One at a time.
-Good morning, sweeties.
Don't push, there's plenty for all.
Give her two more.
-Good morning.
Come here, big boy.
Noam, what's going on?
We're late.
I had a nightmare.
-Let's go, honey.
Come on sweetie.
Do you want a quick shower?
Mom, when's Dad coming to visit us?
We'll visit Dad soon,
but you know, Shabtai
loves being your Daddy.
He asks about you...
asked how your reading's going.
But he isn't really my dad.
But he loves you like a father.
He told me so.
I told him you love reading.
Take off your pajamas,
can you shower by yourself?
That's my boy.
Call everyone.
-Ayala, is she okay?
It's a sign.
-I'll take your place.
Rachella, not in the morning.
What's the matter? Noam?
Yeah.
How is she?
-Still in shock.
What do you think?
Traumas are opportunities for change.
She won't be in contact with her father now.
If you could separate her
from her mother, too...
Right.
She came by this morning.
She'll be back again.
Where's her phone?
-I have it.
No good.
I don't want her feeling like
she's in jail.
Tell all the women
I want her smothered in hugs,
talk to Hodaya.
It was out of good intentions,
so you wouldn't be disturbed.
They could've told me.
-You're right.
They wanted to protect you.
But you're not a baby anymore.
My mom.
-She must be worried.
Why don't you call her?
Do you believe
she didn't know?
Sure I do.
Why, did you know?
No. -We don't know
what we don't want to know.
The soul is like
a tightrope-walker.
If he looks down he'll fall.
So why look?
Call her back.
She's worried.
It's not her fault.
I wouldn't say she's totally innocent.
Why does she always take his side?
With me too, she always defends him.
You need to forgive her.
Understand her.
She has to deny it.
You're asking her to admit
that her whole life was a mistake.
How can she do that?
She can't.
You want to call her now?
No.
No...
when I'm alone.
That's fine.
Just don't cut her out.
Can I give you a small piece of advice?
What?
-Change your way of thinking.
From now on, you're the mother
and she's daughter.
Do that. The words will come.
Maya will pick you up later,
maybe you'll go shopping
with the women.
Get back into the pulse of life,
breathe ...
I'll tell your sister.
Thanks.
So what's the problem?
That it's nearby?
-No, it's that woman.
She's connected to the cult.
She isn't a foster mother.
-That woman ?
She's done temporary fostering
for us several times.
Arianna knows her personally.
-Who's Arianna?
The social worker who visited you.
-We'd really appreciate it
if you moved her.
Even if we're wrong...
-We aren't wrong.
It makes us uneasy.
We don't usually do that,
we allow a few weeks'
trial period.
Don't you think
you might have accidentally
turned into a channel
for providing that man
with troubled girls?
Excuse me?!
You expect me to trust you
more than my own employee?
I have much better reason
not to trust you,
otherwise they wouldn't have
taken your daughter in the first place,
correct me if I'm wrong.
Are you on the girl's side
or that man's side?
You can sign these papers.
As I said, if it's not urgent
it'll only happen
after the trial period.
Besides, she'll be of age soon.
She can decide for herself.
I can't change our rules for you.
-Yoel...
Thank you. It's not over yet,
you'll hear from us.
Your mind never stops working.
That's just the way I am.
You're eating yourself up
for no reason.
It's destiny, you and Ariel.
Otherwise, would I bother?
He's my firstborn son.
-Fine, I accept that.
What's the matter?
-Nothing.
Don't tell me "nothing."
-It's my dad.
At the interrogation
they asked for details,
what he did, how old I was.
Now I have to go back,
how can I make this stuff up?
You say that lies
eat us up from within.
Who says it's a lie?
What?
Do you think it's just a coincidence
that it's coming out now?
Could it be a repressed memory?
Could this be the truth
finally coming out?
Wouldn't I remember?
You don't know what repression is.
It's not something you forget,
it's a truth that the soul
can't accept.
It's not the same thing. Hey...
Hey.
Don't you break down now.
Your sister isn't safe yet.
I saw you needed a better light
so I brought this.
Thanks.
I put a bulb in.
-That's great, thanks.
You shouldn't have.
I need to go.
Excuse me.
I thought maybe we can talk.
I wanted to tell you that...
I didn't ask my father for this.
I didn't even see it coming,
it just happened.
I know.
That's his way, isn't it?
He never tells anyone.
But I was glad he said it.
Want to come with me?
Where to?
-My parents' house.
I thought you weren't talking to them.
-I'm not.
I have a key.
They're at work.
They'll never know.
What do you want?
To wait till he rapes her?
What can we do?
-Get her out of there!
By force, if necessary.
-Oh, really?
Kidnap her and tie her up?
Don't be ridiculous.
What are you thinking, Yoel?
I'll talk to her.
-Oh, yeah?
And what'll you say?
-I'll listen.
Maybe we need to listen to her first.
Are you saying I didn't listen?
Words won't help, Tikva.
I'm her mother.
Yoel, I'll know what to say.
You spoke to Maya, too,
and what came of that?
Sorry, Tikva. I didn't mean it.
If you hadn't offended her
she might've helped us now.
Lena? Is that you?
What, you broke in?
Yeah.
So we're burglars now?
Yeah... I guess so.
I wasn't expecting to marry a criminal,
but as they say...
life has its little surprises.
It's not what you think.
I know you're not a criminal,
I'm just kidding.
No, I...
I need a lot of fixing.
Your father said there's
a lot of darkness in me.
That doesn't frighten me.
Everyone has darkness.
-Not like mine.
That's why I repress things,
there are things that...
It's amazing, your father...
He knows things about me
that even I don't know.
If not for him
I wouldn't know who I am.
He's like the light in my life.
He let you down.
You wanted him.
I thought...
I dunno, I didn't understand...
why he didn't find me worthy,
I thought I was the one...
who'd give birth to the Liberator.
So you were disappointed.
No, I believe him, he said
we were destined for each other.
Right.
But you're doing it for him.
-No, I'm doing it for me.
He said it's best for me. He knows
It's no good this way, Maya.
-What?
As much as I want it,
not this way.
I'll tell him.
I don't want it.
Are you sure?
Did you see her face?
Don't you think I'd recognize her?
She ran outside,
someone was waiting.
She's lost her mind.
What's she gonna do with the gun?
Has she totally lost it?
Now that lunatic's a gangster, too?
Yoel...
-This has gone too far,
now let's see who they'll believe.
Don't pity her, Tikva.
You think stealing a gun is funny?
Let's see if the police agree.
Yoel, she didn't take your gun.
It's under the mattress.
-What?
I put it there.
Are you kidding?
Yoel, you scare me.
Did you think I'd break in
and shoot him?
Listen to yourself.
"I'll get her out by force"?
You think you married a murderer?
I don't know what to think.
You scare me.
Do you believe Maya?
-What?
Do you believe her?
-No.
Maybe I really did rape her.
Stop it, Yoel.
-Maybe you live with a rapist.
Yoel...
-How do you know I didn't?
Yoel, stop it.
-How do you know I didn't?
Because I...
-How? How?
I just know. -How?
You just said you don't know,
that you don't know me.
Do I scare you, Tikva?
Do I scare you?
-Stop it, Yoel.
Yoel.
Yoel, I'm sorry about yesterday.
It was just a misunderstanding.
Fine.
Why are you doing this?
You're not the only one
going through a hard time.
Did you put the gun back?
Now you'll never let me forget it?
Didn't I apologize enough?
You apologized.
How many should I get?
Eh... take nine.
Nine?!
Won't it be expensive?
It's a shared fund, sis.
Get enough for everyone.
Only you deserve papaya?
Cool.
I'm going to see her.
Mom?
Yeah.
What? -Nothing.
Do you think it's a good idea?
I can tell you what she'll say.
Then let her say it.
How old is she?
Old enough.
For what?
For "what" ?
Is that all you think of?
She's Maya's sister.
He's worried about her.
Yeah...but I can see the
way he looks at her.
What?
What's wrong with it?
There's room for everyone.
When was he last with you?
What's that got to do with it?
Just sayin'.
-What?
Saying what?
-Just asking.
C'mon, Osher.
We all know he has the hots for you
but you won't be
his new babe forever.
You think you're special?
I was too, once.
You're no better than any of us.
What did I say?
-Be nice to her.
It won't hurt.
She's nice. I'd be glad to have her
with us.
He said to be nice to her.
It's too much, Hodaya.
Poor little guy.
I'd go into his dream
and help him if I could.
You can help him in real life.
How?
-Ask Avishag to talk to him,
explain it to her.
He's nothing like he was when...
You know.
He's so polite and shy.
I wish he'd stand up for himself.
Should I get spaghetti?
Yeah, the long ones.
No, those.
-No. 7?
Oh! ouch!
-Sorry!
I'm so sorry!
Like in the movies,
where they throw rice at the bride.
Movies...
Wait, there's more here.
It's all right.
Avishag, can I have a minute?
My son really misses his father.
I know Shabtai doesn't believe in
visitation rights, but...
He wakes up at night...
I'm not just saying this,
he's suffering.
He loves Shabtai, but...
he misses his father.
-Of course he does.
I can't bear to see him
playing alone.
He doesn't mix with
the other kids.
Does he fight with them?
-No, no.
He's shy...
He plays alone in my room,
I find him there alone.
He cries in his sleep.
It breaks my heart to hear him.
Believe me, it's heartbreaking
and I'm helpless.
Why didn't you say something?
Why waste time?
I'll talk to Shabtai,
don't worry.
The children are above everything
for him,
you know that.
-I'm so grateful, Avishag,
thank you.
-It's all right.
It'll be fine, don't worry.
I don't want it, Father.
She doesn't want it.
She doesn't or you don't?
She doesn't.
I don't want it if she doesn't.
Who cares what she wants?
What's a man, Ariel?
A man is desire,
that's his essence.
That's how the woman judges him,
too, according to his willpower.
If his power is strong...
she'll want him.
That's how nature made us.
What she wants doesn't matter.
Not even to her.
But it matters to me.
Are you her or are you you?
She wanted you.
-That's nice.
Now if you want her,
she'll want you.
And she'll see you
with all the other women
and remember that only
she's left out?
I don't want this, Father.
So you love her, huh?
I can tell.
Come here.
I respect her.
You love her.
Isn't that nice? -Wonderful.
-Isn't it?
You have a heart, that's good.
Do you want to kill your heart
just because you're in doubt?
Which is prettier,
this or this?
For a dress?
-Not for you, for Hagar.
For her birthday.
This one. -This one?
We'll take the other one,
your jealousy is a better judge.
Then I want our own apartment.
Outside the house?
-Yes.
Can you afford it?
I'll get a job.
-That's good.
Show her you aren't all talk.
Like a man who isn't afraid.
Show her you'll work hard for her.
Got any money?
-Yes.
Go in and buy it.
You and Maya...
It's good.
It'll work out,
I have a good feeling.
It's destiny.
Tikva, I shouldn't have done that...
I just...
Anyway, I apologize,
so...
You know what?
I'll stop by your office.
Look, I...
I understand
you want to protect him.
I'm not judging you.
Even if you think it's true.
I mean it.
But you can't judge Maya either.
You didn't even ask her
why she left home.
You just decided
she'd been brainwashed.
I realize it's not easy,
it's not easy to admit, but...
Gura, what are you talking about?
You know your father.
Thank you.
Your father was interrogated
for eight hours yesterday.
Do you have any idea
what he's going through?
If that's what your sister wants,
there's nothing I can do.
You want to spend
some time with her?
That's all right.
But it doesn't have to be now,
does it?
You can wait a few days.
Mom, I'm not coming home.
You don't have to take sides.
Let's all take a deep breath while
this gets cleared up.
Listen,
Naomi's tenants
are away until the end
of October.
You can have the apartment
to yourself.
If you want to bring Mikey over...
no questions.
It'll be...
your home for the next
few months.
I don't know.
Think about it.
Can I move my things there?
Sure.
The key is at my office,
let's stop by,
you can see the apartment and...
think it over.
What's going on?
Mom, what's going on?
Great. Thanks a lot.
Wait, Gura!
Where's Maya?
Hello to you, too.
-Sorry. Hello.
Where's Maya?
At work.
-Until when?
Around five.
What's the matter?
What's the matter?
Want to join me with the kids and talk?
I have eight kids to deal with.
No thanks, I have to...
Thanks? I need your help.
Why are you thanking me?
Take it.
Maya isn't here anyway.
-Okay.
I wish I got a dress like this
for my 18th birthday.
Pass the...
Mark the place.
Before I came here
I was always hoarse.
What do you mean?
-Hoarse,
I'd lose my voice.
What does that mean?
-What?
I don't know.
I guess I was always
mad at the world.
Even my voice only
came out through...
anger.
I had a callus on my vocal cords.
Isn't that strange? As if...
I had no voice in this world.
I had to shout to be heard.
Ever feel that way?
Yeah.
Sometimes.
With my parents.
You know what vocal cords look like?
-No.
Like this.
When you talk they go like this,
but when I talked they went like this.
So I went to speech therapy
and they taught me a technique,
but that didn't help.
And it didn't go away
until Shabtai treated me.
He taught me how to approach
the world from a place
of inner peace and...
it all fell into place.
She had migraines.
And Shabtai healed her.
He came to our house
a few times
to give her treatments.
He made a good impression at first.
What kind of treatment?
-I don't know.
He'd shut the door. Healing.
So you think he seduced her
under your nose?
No.
He's much more clever than that.
He got her to come to his classes
and...
from there it...
Anyway...
it wasn't only her migraines.
She was restless
and he took advantage of that.
You know how kids are.
Rebellious, looking for answers,
spiritual stuff.
Now she's about to marry him.
And he won't let her talk to me.
He won't let any of them talk.
He cuts them off from the world.
-Right.
We'll have to find a way in,
otherwise...
I mean...
interviewing you
isn't enough.
This is television.
We'll be in touch.
Thank you.
-Thank you.
Thanks.
Yoel.
What if she finds out?
Will they call you a rapist on TV?
She won't find out.
She's investigating him, not me.
Besides, he won't let her
talk to Maya.
She's a journalist.
That's her job.
Then let her find out.
If that's the price
for getting her out,
let her find out.
It'll be my penance.
What are you talking about?
What price? What penance?
It's like Hagar said,
I didn't let them breathe.
You think they left for no reason?
Listen to me,
never say that again, okay?
Don't even think it.
Is there a more caring father
anywhere?
Well?
-Just wait.
C'mon, Maya.
Okay, open your eyes.
What is it?
What do you think?
What's it for?
Here birthdays are a whole production
Everything but a magician.
Because we have our own magician.
You want one like this, too?
For your wedding?
Everything in its time.
A mourning gown
would suit you better.
What?!
Nothing.
-What did you say?
Maya, you should've
seen your face.
Like you were given
a death sentence.
It's not what you wanted.
-Ariel's a great guy,
he's respectful.
Unlike you.
Hey, watch your mouth.
Watch your own mouth first!
I'm going to shower,
he's expecting me.
No he's not,
he asked to prepare
the treatment room for Hagar.
I spoke to him.
Did I stutter?
Fine.
No, no problem, fine.
Somebody's ovulating...
I'll put the kettle on.
You look like a little angel.
Do you mind?
I spoke to Shabtai.
He thinks you're right.
He's out of place
among Shabtai's children.
Maybe his father should
assume custody.
So he won't be with me?
All the other kids here are Shabtai's...
Aren't Elinor's kids
from another father?
That's not the same thing.
Elinor is his daughter and her kids
don't even know their father.
I'm sure if you give him time...
Tehila,
think of him, not yourself.
Shabtai thinks he'll be happier
with his father.
Trust his judgment.
Will I be able to visit him?
Let's not jump ahead.
First of all, you certainly can't be
alone with his father.
Let's think about this...
Once your whole heart is here...
you have Shabtai's daughter
to think about.
Your mother?
Yes.
I feel it in my fingers.
It's like...
whenever I'm with her
I act like...
I act like a little girl.
I become
what she wants me to be,
you know what I mean?
That, we can change in you, not her.
You can't change her.
Close your eyes,
I can't work like this.
Your energy...
is in turmoil, I can feel it.
Hagar.
What?
In Kaballah, names are important.
She named you after a handmaid
who was sent away, Hagar.
Abraham and Sarah
sent her away.
Don't you think that's significant?
Names determine destinies.
Destinies?
Names can be changed.
I don't mean on documents,
I mean in spirit.
It can be done,
but it's an inner process.
But Hagar is a pretty name.
It's a bad sign that you like it.
You like the place
that rejects you?
It's like you have no home.
Any place you go
will eventually reject you.
You need an inner change.
Everybody needs a home.
Still asleep?
-Yeah.
Guri.
I thought you were still asleep.
-Maya!
What're you doing here?
-I thought you were asleep.
You packed your things?
I'm not staying here
-Why? What's wrong?
Yuck! No way!
I don't even know why I agreed to come.
She gave me some pill,
I don't even remember getting into bed.
She was worried about you.
-What?
What're you doing here?
Shabtai has connections.
D'you really think we'd let them dump
you in some foster home?
What do you mean?
Ariana is one of his students.
She's on our side, Guri,
on your side.
Can you believe it? We're neighbors!
Our house is two blocks away.
Guri,
stay here a night or two
and when everything cools down
you can move in with me.
What?
What?
Hello. -Hello.
Are you Galit?
-Yes.
You're Hagar's mom.
-Yes.
You must be worried about her,
but she's fine. She's still asleep.
Can you wake her up?
I... uh... I brought her some things.
Better not, she took a pill
and she's still sort of in shock.
Best to let her sleep as much as she can.
Do you...uh... want to leave her things here?
No.
I'll come back later.
When will she be up?
Eh... I don't know.
Do you want to call and check?
I tried, her phone is off.
So I'll tell her to turn it on
when she wakes up.
Bye then.
"Title Sequence"
How old were you
when it started?
Dad?
Yeah.
Guri, I wouldn't have
said anything
if I wasn't scared sick about you.
It can't be.
But,
it happened.
How come I didn't know?
I'm so stupid.
You were little.
How could you have known?
I'm such an idiot.
Guri, can I ask you a favor?
-Sure.
I don't like opening old wounds
It's like....
I've closed that door
and wouldn't have opened it
at all if I wasn't scared for you.
Let's just leave it, okay?
Sure. Sorry.
I have to go to work.
I'll be back early today.
Will you come over?
Want to see how to
cook lunch for 40 kids?
Wow.
-That's nothing.
People don't know but...
That's how people used to live.
They never knew what loneliness was .
You go with Maya,
I'll stay and keep an eye on Hagar.
I can stay till noon.
-No need.
Purify yourself.
There must be no impurity here,
Shabtai's coming here later.
Where's her cell phone?
-I have it.
Give me, I'll look after it.
Like this....
It isn't from the market.
-No?
No.
Very good.
Where's yours from?
-Here are more tomatoes.
Too bad.
Oh, more tomato.
No, just one slice.
So I got a few different colors.
Grandma! -Grandma!
One at a time.
-Good morning.
One at a time.
-Good morning, sweeties.
Don't push, there's plenty for all.
Give her two more.
-Good morning.
Come here, big boy.
Noam, what's going on?
We're late.
I had a nightmare.
-Let's go, honey.
Come on sweetie.
Do you want a quick shower?
Mom, when's Dad coming to visit us?
We'll visit Dad soon,
but you know, Shabtai
loves being your Daddy.
He asks about you...
asked how your reading's going.
But he isn't really my dad.
But he loves you like a father.
He told me so.
I told him you love reading.
Take off your pajamas,
can you shower by yourself?
That's my boy.
Call everyone.
-Ayala, is she okay?
It's a sign.
-I'll take your place.
Rachella, not in the morning.
What's the matter? Noam?
Yeah.
How is she?
-Still in shock.
What do you think?
Traumas are opportunities for change.
She won't be in contact with her father now.
If you could separate her
from her mother, too...
Right.
She came by this morning.
She'll be back again.
Where's her phone?
-I have it.
No good.
I don't want her feeling like
she's in jail.
Tell all the women
I want her smothered in hugs,
talk to Hodaya.
It was out of good intentions,
so you wouldn't be disturbed.
They could've told me.
-You're right.
They wanted to protect you.
But you're not a baby anymore.
My mom.
-She must be worried.
Why don't you call her?
Do you believe
she didn't know?
Sure I do.
Why, did you know?
No. -We don't know
what we don't want to know.
The soul is like
a tightrope-walker.
If he looks down he'll fall.
So why look?
Call her back.
She's worried.
It's not her fault.
I wouldn't say she's totally innocent.
Why does she always take his side?
With me too, she always defends him.
You need to forgive her.
Understand her.
She has to deny it.
You're asking her to admit
that her whole life was a mistake.
How can she do that?
She can't.
You want to call her now?
No.
No...
when I'm alone.
That's fine.
Just don't cut her out.
Can I give you a small piece of advice?
What?
-Change your way of thinking.
From now on, you're the mother
and she's daughter.
Do that. The words will come.
Maya will pick you up later,
maybe you'll go shopping
with the women.
Get back into the pulse of life,
breathe ...
I'll tell your sister.
Thanks.
So what's the problem?
That it's nearby?
-No, it's that woman.
She's connected to the cult.
She isn't a foster mother.
-That woman ?
She's done temporary fostering
for us several times.
Arianna knows her personally.
-Who's Arianna?
The social worker who visited you.
-We'd really appreciate it
if you moved her.
Even if we're wrong...
-We aren't wrong.
It makes us uneasy.
We don't usually do that,
we allow a few weeks'
trial period.
Don't you think
you might have accidentally
turned into a channel
for providing that man
with troubled girls?
Excuse me?!
You expect me to trust you
more than my own employee?
I have much better reason
not to trust you,
otherwise they wouldn't have
taken your daughter in the first place,
correct me if I'm wrong.
Are you on the girl's side
or that man's side?
You can sign these papers.
As I said, if it's not urgent
it'll only happen
after the trial period.
Besides, she'll be of age soon.
She can decide for herself.
I can't change our rules for you.
-Yoel...
Thank you. It's not over yet,
you'll hear from us.
Your mind never stops working.
That's just the way I am.
You're eating yourself up
for no reason.
It's destiny, you and Ariel.
Otherwise, would I bother?
He's my firstborn son.
-Fine, I accept that.
What's the matter?
-Nothing.
Don't tell me "nothing."
-It's my dad.
At the interrogation
they asked for details,
what he did, how old I was.
Now I have to go back,
how can I make this stuff up?
You say that lies
eat us up from within.
Who says it's a lie?
What?
Do you think it's just a coincidence
that it's coming out now?
Could it be a repressed memory?
Could this be the truth
finally coming out?
Wouldn't I remember?
You don't know what repression is.
It's not something you forget,
it's a truth that the soul
can't accept.
It's not the same thing. Hey...
Hey.
Don't you break down now.
Your sister isn't safe yet.
I saw you needed a better light
so I brought this.
Thanks.
I put a bulb in.
-That's great, thanks.
You shouldn't have.
I need to go.
Excuse me.
I thought maybe we can talk.
I wanted to tell you that...
I didn't ask my father for this.
I didn't even see it coming,
it just happened.
I know.
That's his way, isn't it?
He never tells anyone.
But I was glad he said it.
Want to come with me?
Where to?
-My parents' house.
I thought you weren't talking to them.
-I'm not.
I have a key.
They're at work.
They'll never know.
What do you want?
To wait till he rapes her?
What can we do?
-Get her out of there!
By force, if necessary.
-Oh, really?
Kidnap her and tie her up?
Don't be ridiculous.
What are you thinking, Yoel?
I'll talk to her.
-Oh, yeah?
And what'll you say?
-I'll listen.
Maybe we need to listen to her first.
Are you saying I didn't listen?
Words won't help, Tikva.
I'm her mother.
Yoel, I'll know what to say.
You spoke to Maya, too,
and what came of that?
Sorry, Tikva. I didn't mean it.
If you hadn't offended her
she might've helped us now.
Lena? Is that you?
What, you broke in?
Yeah.
So we're burglars now?
Yeah... I guess so.
I wasn't expecting to marry a criminal,
but as they say...
life has its little surprises.
It's not what you think.
I know you're not a criminal,
I'm just kidding.
No, I...
I need a lot of fixing.
Your father said there's
a lot of darkness in me.
That doesn't frighten me.
Everyone has darkness.
-Not like mine.
That's why I repress things,
there are things that...
It's amazing, your father...
He knows things about me
that even I don't know.
If not for him
I wouldn't know who I am.
He's like the light in my life.
He let you down.
You wanted him.
I thought...
I dunno, I didn't understand...
why he didn't find me worthy,
I thought I was the one...
who'd give birth to the Liberator.
So you were disappointed.
No, I believe him, he said
we were destined for each other.
Right.
But you're doing it for him.
-No, I'm doing it for me.
He said it's best for me. He knows
It's no good this way, Maya.
-What?
As much as I want it,
not this way.
I'll tell him.
I don't want it.
Are you sure?
Did you see her face?
Don't you think I'd recognize her?
She ran outside,
someone was waiting.
She's lost her mind.
What's she gonna do with the gun?
Has she totally lost it?
Now that lunatic's a gangster, too?
Yoel...
-This has gone too far,
now let's see who they'll believe.
Don't pity her, Tikva.
You think stealing a gun is funny?
Let's see if the police agree.
Yoel, she didn't take your gun.
It's under the mattress.
-What?
I put it there.
Are you kidding?
Yoel, you scare me.
Did you think I'd break in
and shoot him?
Listen to yourself.
"I'll get her out by force"?
You think you married a murderer?
I don't know what to think.
You scare me.
Do you believe Maya?
-What?
Do you believe her?
-No.
Maybe I really did rape her.
Stop it, Yoel.
-Maybe you live with a rapist.
Yoel...
-How do you know I didn't?
Yoel, stop it.
-How do you know I didn't?
Because I...
-How? How?
I just know. -How?
You just said you don't know,
that you don't know me.
Do I scare you, Tikva?
Do I scare you?
-Stop it, Yoel.
Yoel.
Yoel, I'm sorry about yesterday.
It was just a misunderstanding.
Fine.
Why are you doing this?
You're not the only one
going through a hard time.
Did you put the gun back?
Now you'll never let me forget it?
Didn't I apologize enough?
You apologized.
How many should I get?
Eh... take nine.
Nine?!
Won't it be expensive?
It's a shared fund, sis.
Get enough for everyone.
Only you deserve papaya?
Cool.
I'm going to see her.
Mom?
Yeah.
What? -Nothing.
Do you think it's a good idea?
I can tell you what she'll say.
Then let her say it.
How old is she?
Old enough.
For what?
For "what" ?
Is that all you think of?
She's Maya's sister.
He's worried about her.
Yeah...but I can see the
way he looks at her.
What?
What's wrong with it?
There's room for everyone.
When was he last with you?
What's that got to do with it?
Just sayin'.
-What?
Saying what?
-Just asking.
C'mon, Osher.
We all know he has the hots for you
but you won't be
his new babe forever.
You think you're special?
I was too, once.
You're no better than any of us.
What did I say?
-Be nice to her.
It won't hurt.
She's nice. I'd be glad to have her
with us.
He said to be nice to her.
It's too much, Hodaya.
Poor little guy.
I'd go into his dream
and help him if I could.
You can help him in real life.
How?
-Ask Avishag to talk to him,
explain it to her.
He's nothing like he was when...
You know.
He's so polite and shy.
I wish he'd stand up for himself.
Should I get spaghetti?
Yeah, the long ones.
No, those.
-No. 7?
Oh! ouch!
-Sorry!
I'm so sorry!
Like in the movies,
where they throw rice at the bride.
Movies...
Wait, there's more here.
It's all right.
Avishag, can I have a minute?
My son really misses his father.
I know Shabtai doesn't believe in
visitation rights, but...
He wakes up at night...
I'm not just saying this,
he's suffering.
He loves Shabtai, but...
he misses his father.
-Of course he does.
I can't bear to see him
playing alone.
He doesn't mix with
the other kids.
Does he fight with them?
-No, no.
He's shy...
He plays alone in my room,
I find him there alone.
He cries in his sleep.
It breaks my heart to hear him.
Believe me, it's heartbreaking
and I'm helpless.
Why didn't you say something?
Why waste time?
I'll talk to Shabtai,
don't worry.
The children are above everything
for him,
you know that.
-I'm so grateful, Avishag,
thank you.
-It's all right.
It'll be fine, don't worry.
I don't want it, Father.
She doesn't want it.
She doesn't or you don't?
She doesn't.
I don't want it if she doesn't.
Who cares what she wants?
What's a man, Ariel?
A man is desire,
that's his essence.
That's how the woman judges him,
too, according to his willpower.
If his power is strong...
she'll want him.
That's how nature made us.
What she wants doesn't matter.
Not even to her.
But it matters to me.
Are you her or are you you?
She wanted you.
-That's nice.
Now if you want her,
she'll want you.
And she'll see you
with all the other women
and remember that only
she's left out?
I don't want this, Father.
So you love her, huh?
I can tell.
Come here.
I respect her.
You love her.
Isn't that nice? -Wonderful.
-Isn't it?
You have a heart, that's good.
Do you want to kill your heart
just because you're in doubt?
Which is prettier,
this or this?
For a dress?
-Not for you, for Hagar.
For her birthday.
This one. -This one?
We'll take the other one,
your jealousy is a better judge.
Then I want our own apartment.
Outside the house?
-Yes.
Can you afford it?
I'll get a job.
-That's good.
Show her you aren't all talk.
Like a man who isn't afraid.
Show her you'll work hard for her.
Got any money?
-Yes.
Go in and buy it.
You and Maya...
It's good.
It'll work out,
I have a good feeling.
It's destiny.
Tikva, I shouldn't have done that...
I just...
Anyway, I apologize,
so...
You know what?
I'll stop by your office.
Look, I...
I understand
you want to protect him.
I'm not judging you.
Even if you think it's true.
I mean it.
But you can't judge Maya either.
You didn't even ask her
why she left home.
You just decided
she'd been brainwashed.
I realize it's not easy,
it's not easy to admit, but...
Gura, what are you talking about?
You know your father.
Thank you.
Your father was interrogated
for eight hours yesterday.
Do you have any idea
what he's going through?
If that's what your sister wants,
there's nothing I can do.
You want to spend
some time with her?
That's all right.
But it doesn't have to be now,
does it?
You can wait a few days.
Mom, I'm not coming home.
You don't have to take sides.
Let's all take a deep breath while
this gets cleared up.
Listen,
Naomi's tenants
are away until the end
of October.
You can have the apartment
to yourself.
If you want to bring Mikey over...
no questions.
It'll be...
your home for the next
few months.
I don't know.
Think about it.
Can I move my things there?
Sure.
The key is at my office,
let's stop by,
you can see the apartment and...
think it over.
What's going on?
Mom, what's going on?
Great. Thanks a lot.
Wait, Gura!
Where's Maya?
Hello to you, too.
-Sorry. Hello.
Where's Maya?
At work.
-Until when?
Around five.
What's the matter?
What's the matter?
Want to join me with the kids and talk?
I have eight kids to deal with.
No thanks, I have to...
Thanks? I need your help.
Why are you thanking me?
Take it.
Maya isn't here anyway.
-Okay.
I wish I got a dress like this
for my 18th birthday.
Pass the...
Mark the place.
Before I came here
I was always hoarse.
What do you mean?
-Hoarse,
I'd lose my voice.
What does that mean?
-What?
I don't know.
I guess I was always
mad at the world.
Even my voice only
came out through...
anger.
I had a callus on my vocal cords.
Isn't that strange? As if...
I had no voice in this world.
I had to shout to be heard.
Ever feel that way?
Yeah.
Sometimes.
With my parents.
You know what vocal cords look like?
-No.
Like this.
When you talk they go like this,
but when I talked they went like this.
So I went to speech therapy
and they taught me a technique,
but that didn't help.
And it didn't go away
until Shabtai treated me.
He taught me how to approach
the world from a place
of inner peace and...
it all fell into place.
She had migraines.
And Shabtai healed her.
He came to our house
a few times
to give her treatments.
He made a good impression at first.
What kind of treatment?
-I don't know.
He'd shut the door. Healing.
So you think he seduced her
under your nose?
No.
He's much more clever than that.
He got her to come to his classes
and...
from there it...
Anyway...
it wasn't only her migraines.
She was restless
and he took advantage of that.
You know how kids are.
Rebellious, looking for answers,
spiritual stuff.
Now she's about to marry him.
And he won't let her talk to me.
He won't let any of them talk.
He cuts them off from the world.
-Right.
We'll have to find a way in,
otherwise...
I mean...
interviewing you
isn't enough.
This is television.
We'll be in touch.
Thank you.
-Thank you.
Thanks.
Yoel.
What if she finds out?
Will they call you a rapist on TV?
She won't find out.
She's investigating him, not me.
Besides, he won't let her
talk to Maya.
She's a journalist.
That's her job.
Then let her find out.
If that's the price
for getting her out,
let her find out.
It'll be my penance.
What are you talking about?
What price? What penance?
It's like Hagar said,
I didn't let them breathe.
You think they left for no reason?
Listen to me,
never say that again, okay?
Don't even think it.
Is there a more caring father
anywhere?
Well?
-Just wait.
C'mon, Maya.
Okay, open your eyes.
What is it?
What do you think?
What's it for?
Here birthdays are a whole production
Everything but a magician.
Because we have our own magician.
You want one like this, too?
For your wedding?
Everything in its time.
A mourning gown
would suit you better.
What?!
Nothing.
-What did you say?
Maya, you should've
seen your face.
Like you were given
a death sentence.
It's not what you wanted.
-Ariel's a great guy,
he's respectful.
Unlike you.
Hey, watch your mouth.
Watch your own mouth first!
I'm going to shower,
he's expecting me.
No he's not,
he asked to prepare
the treatment room for Hagar.
I spoke to him.
Did I stutter?
Fine.
No, no problem, fine.
Somebody's ovulating...
I'll put the kettle on.
You look like a little angel.
Do you mind?
I spoke to Shabtai.
He thinks you're right.
He's out of place
among Shabtai's children.
Maybe his father should
assume custody.
So he won't be with me?
All the other kids here are Shabtai's...
Aren't Elinor's kids
from another father?
That's not the same thing.
Elinor is his daughter and her kids
don't even know their father.
I'm sure if you give him time...
Tehila,
think of him, not yourself.
Shabtai thinks he'll be happier
with his father.
Trust his judgment.
Will I be able to visit him?
Let's not jump ahead.
First of all, you certainly can't be
alone with his father.
Let's think about this...
Once your whole heart is here...
you have Shabtai's daughter
to think about.
Your mother?
Yes.
I feel it in my fingers.
It's like...
whenever I'm with her
I act like...
I act like a little girl.
I become
what she wants me to be,
you know what I mean?
That, we can change in you, not her.
You can't change her.
Close your eyes,
I can't work like this.
Your energy...
is in turmoil, I can feel it.
Hagar.
What?
In Kaballah, names are important.
She named you after a handmaid
who was sent away, Hagar.
Abraham and Sarah
sent her away.
Don't you think that's significant?
Names determine destinies.
Destinies?
Names can be changed.
I don't mean on documents,
I mean in spirit.
It can be done,
but it's an inner process.
But Hagar is a pretty name.
It's a bad sign that you like it.
You like the place
that rejects you?
It's like you have no home.
Any place you go
will eventually reject you.
You need an inner change.
Everybody needs a home.
