The Attaché (2019–2020): Season 1, Episode 7 - Episode #1.7 - full transcript

Avshalom and Annabelle both end up in the emergency room---for very different reasons.

What are you celebrating at 2am?

Are you pregnant?

No, no, I'm not pregnant.

The Israeli embassy in Paris

are looking for
an Alyiah attaché.

Good evening, everyone. My
name is Annabelle Nohar-Cohen.

You're a fellowship appointment,
aren't you?

Yes. For the next year.

If you keep this up,

I might put in a request to keep
you here longer by my side.

Do you want to touch my tits?



Or just go ahead
and make a baby?

A baby. I want a baby.

How much longer? Do you
go to fertility treatments?

Don't worry, Ovadyia.
We're working on it.

You will get a granddaughter
sometime soon.

-Hey, honey. Morning.
-Hey.

Morning.

What's that?

The musical score
for "Shurum Zurum."

Wow.

Did you eat
all of the Camembert cheese?

I did. It's good.

First thing in the morning?
You're an animal.

What is it?



What's going on?

Nothing.

Do you remember when was
the last time you attacked
a smelly cheese?

When we found out
you're pregnant with Uri.

Calm down, I'm not.

-Are you pregnant?
-No.

-Are you late?
-No, I'm not.

-You're late.
-No, I'm supposed
to have it any minute.

-There, you're late! Honey!
-Come on!

Wait a minute. Hey, baby?

You hold on tight in there
this time, do you hear me?

Do you hear me?

Hey, Kuku? It's Daddy! Kuku...

Monkey, you do realize you're
being a real monkey, right?

Hold on a minute,
I'm talking to him. Hold on.

And take your mother's genes,
do you hear me?

Baby? Hello?

My love, soon. Okay?

Soon.

Alright. I'm off to work.

THE ATTACHE

Poop.

Floating in the sea.

It's a Jewish artist,
a Frenchwoman who did
Alyiah, Rebecca Hayman.

This really does make you
want to drop everything
and do Alyiah.

That's for sure.

Tell me why you brought me here.

Snot.

Did you bring me here
to clean some tissues?

That's your job.

Very funny.

This is art!

I want to sit here.

I'll tell you what's going on.

I'm late.

Let's look.

-Wait.
-Come on, I can't
stand the suspense!

Let me see those boobs
becoming giant again.

Hold on.

Are you afraid
you'd be disappointed?

I'm afraid
I'd disappoint Avshalom.

Either you are or you aren't.
That's life.

He'll be so happy. He's
looking forward to this so much.

Well...

It's ready.

Well?

I don't know.

Let me see.

There's one stripe for sure,
but the other one's too faded.

It's kind of ambiguous.

What does that mean?

Let's try the other one.

Thank you, Dr. Weiss, and
sorry for calling at this hour.

Thank you.

He's out of town, but he said
I should drop by in two days,

Excellent.

Do me a favor, get
a birth control prescription
from that creep for me.

Bar, come on. I'm going there
to see if I'm pregnant.

I can't ask for
birth control pills.

Do you even want
this pregnancy?

Of course I do.

Listen, I have a meeting
at the embassy, I need to go.

-Are you babysitting tomorrow?
-Yes.

Thanks.

Bye.

Said?

I can ask you a question?

-Of course.
-Just between you and me?

How come a Moroccan like you
doesn't have five kids?

For me? No way.

In Paris, Avshalom,
two kids, tops.

And you?

I want...

five, four, six.

Quickly, quickly!

Work, work! Let's go, habibi!

We're working...

Slowly.

With us.

I wanted a big family.

But there's a problem.

They're tired.

They no swim.

The doctor gave me
some vitamins.

He told me...

no cigarettes.

No coffee, and sport,
sport, sport, lot of sport.

Sport for me?

The doctor is crazy.

Two.

Bastard. I love cigarettes.

So how many are we?
We're one player short.

Danny said he's not coming.

-Thanks.
-So you go, Yoav.

Basketball? It's not for me...
Running and jumping...

Mois, wait a few minutes.
Stall her. We're coming over.

Hold on a minute.

What's with you?

Nothing. Why?

You look pale.

The stress over this deadline
is making me sick.

Annabelle? Why don't you ask
Avshalom to play with us?

No way. You'll kill him.

Hey! Her husband's an old man,
you guys are gorillas.

Right, Ofra's waiting.
Annabelle, let's go.

-Come on, let's go!
-Right, I'm coming.

Hi, Ofra.

Okay.

Do you like the program
for the convention?

-Yes. I really think that...
-Good.

So, the program...

is approved.

What? There won't be some
radical artist at
that convention

who's going to roll around
in a flag on the ground

as an artistic statement,
would there?

-No.
-Good. So I trust you.

Annabelle, you're replacing
Ayelet for one year, right?

-You're a fellowship
appointment.
-Yes.

I think she's going to postpone
her return to Paris.

-Oh?
-That's understandable,

it's impossible doing this job
with a baby at home, right?

Of course, it's impossible.

This position requires
going to a lot of meetings.

Are you and your husband
managing here in Paris?

Yes.

Look, it's easy for me.
I'm home, my family's here.

It's a bit more complicated
for Avshalom, but he's tough.

The first year is the hardest.
On my first year abroad,

it took my husband and I
a long time to find our footing.

It all works out eventually.

Right. We got a divorce.

Annabelle, would you be
interested in staying in Paris,

and launching the program
yourself at the beginning
of next year?

-What?
-I'm just trying to find out,

in case Ayelet
wouldn't be able to return.

I want to see if there's an
option to extend your contract.

Would it work out
with your home life?

Yes, it would.

Congrats, lady.

I've never seen Ofra like that.
I thought she'd kiss you.

I'll go make us a sandwich.

Annabelle, could you ask
your husband to play
with us after all?

Okay, okay.

Hi.

Hey.

How are you doing?

I had a blast today.
I went to the post office.

Shopping, Synagogue,
I went to Said's...

And you?

There's something
I need to tell you.

What is it?

Tzachi asked me to invite you
to play basketball

with the guys from security.

Is that what you
wanted to tell me?

I told him you would.

Really?

No way! Come on.

They'll kill you. They're
gorillas, and you're
an old monkey.

You know what?
I think it's a good idea.

What is it?

I'll go play some ball
with them. Why not?

This body could use some
exercise, don't you think?

Look, I'm growing boobs.

They're 20 years old.
What are you, their chaperon?

Hey, class of 1996.

Who do you think was the top
scorer at Goldwasser High?

They're playing basketball.

Alright.

Bye.

Does Mathias
have to come over today?

Yes, I told you. His mom
called and said she's sick.

Hey. Uri. It's Sunday,
you'll have fun. Come on.

-Let's go.
-Alright.

-Bye.
-Bye.

Hey.

What's wrong?

How long are you going
to have that long face on?

What's going on, Uri? Tell me.

It's because of Mathias.
It's a secret.

I won't tell.

I told him I had
two older siblings,

a brother who's a judo champion
and a sister who's a singer.

Now when he comes over,
he'll find out I lied.

I see.

What are their names?
Your siblings?

Ganache and Suzy.

Those are nice names.

We can tell him that Ganache
is away on a tournament,

and that Suzy went out.

Really?

Yes. It'll even be fun.

Guys, did someone
invite Dubi Gal?

-Very funny.
-What's up?

Avshalom, are you okay?

-Huh?
-Are you okay?

Yes, of course.

I'm great. Come on, let's play!

-Let's start over. Give it here.
-Okay.

Annabelle? What are you
doing here on a Sunday?

Me? What are you doing here?

I have four kids. I need
some rest after the Shabbat.

Seriously?
You're coming here to rest?

I've trained myself
to nap during red lights.

How do you manage
your job and your kids?

How do I manage?
I don't... Can't you tell?

Why?

I took a pregnancy test
yesterday.

-Well?
-I couldn't make it out.

I'm waiting to take
a blood test after the weekend.

It'll be okay, God willing.

Having many kids is
a good thing, there's
are lots of benefits, really.

I'd totally recommend it.

But if you have,
say six or seven children,

you need to take into account
that there's a high probability

that at least one of them
will be half-baked,

but they'll stay home,
and you'll have someone

to change your diapers
in your old age,

and that at least half of them
will find God.

Only half?

That's okay,
religious people marry young

and leave home,
so you'll be saving on expenses.

Rebecca?

Don't you think
you're missing out sometimes?

All the time.

But I just make
another baby to avoid
dealing with those thoughts.

Another baby, and then another.

And you?

Me?

We're looking forward
to another baby.

I'm a bit anxious.

Listen, go to the ER,

say you're pregnant,
and you're bleeding,

and your doctor's abroad.
They'll give you
a test on the spot.

-Really?
-Yes, I did it
with my fourth baby.

It's no big deal.

I'm going next door, you're
interfering with my nap.

Guys, let's take five.

Let's take five.

-Where's the bathroom?
-It's that way.

-Are you okay?
-Yes.

Avshalom?

-Are you okay, bro?
-Yeah, sure.

I just need a few seconds
and I'll go back out there.

You look pale, man.

No, I just need some rest
and I'll go back out there.
I'm fine.

I think you've had enough for t.

Can I ask you for a favor?
But you can't tell Annabelle.

What is it? Tell me.

Call an ambulance.

My mouth is dry and I've got
pains. I can't breathe.

But other than that, I'm fine.
Really. Don't worry,
really. I'm fine.

Avshalom?

-Will I get the results today?
-Yes.

I need them for the doctor.

How are you feeling, Avshalom?

I can't feel my mouth.
My mouth is dry.

He says he's tired and that
he can't feel his mouth.

Don't tell Annabelle, okay?
Don't let her know.

It's okay, Avshalom.

See? He won every single
tournament. It's amazing.

First prize. See that?

I'm not stupid.
I know you don't have siblings.

I don't know what to tell you.
I don't see that
you're pregnant.

We'll run some tests
after the weekend.

We'll be able to understand
a bit more more after the tests.

Are you sure I'm not pregnant?

Yes. You're not pregnant.

Okay.

So why more tests?

Look, you're 34,
and your ovaries are tired.

Don't worry, though, there's
a treatment that can
wake them up.

Okay?

We'll find a solution
for you to get pregnant, okay?

Okay.

I want to ask you
for one more thing.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-How are you doing?
-Thank you.

The tests show

that your pulse is fine,
your blood pressure's normal.

You must have overexerted
yourself, and probably
had a panic attack,

worrying you might
get a heart attack.

What did he say?

He said it was a panic attack.

The not-so-good news is
that procedure requires us

to perform
an extensive examination

to make sure
there's nothing else wrong.

Okay.

Where are you going, Avshalom?

Home.

Sir?

-You can't leave.
-Thank you, sir.

But you still need
to have some tests done, bro.

I'll do it tomorrow.

Hello, Bar?

Annabelle, listen, Uri
locked himself in the bathroom,

He had a fight with his friend,
I think you should come.

He's locked himself in.

Uri? It's Mom.

Are you okay? Can I come in?

No.

Just keep in mind
I'm right here.

It's okay.
This isn't the first time.

Thanks.

Honey?

Why don't you tell me
what's wrong?

I lied to Mathias
about having siblings.

Okay.

He found out I was lying.

And tomorrow, he'll tell
everyone at preschool.

I miss our preschool.

What do you miss the most?

In Israel, people would laugh
when I'd tell jokes.

And here... I can't tell
any jokes in Hebrew.

You know, honey,

when I came to Israel,

it was hard and weird
for me, too,

because I couldn't
always understand what
everyone was laughing about.

But I promise you'll adjust.

Did they make fun of you for
not speaking well, too, Mom?

Of course, honey.
They used to tease me.

Do you remember that Israeli
song you used to sing
at Leah's preschool?

The national anthem?

-Sort of.
-So there's a line there...

"As long as it's
in your heart..."

Do you know what I'd sing?

"As long as it's
in your cart..."

They all laughed at me,

and even your dad
didn't correct my Hebrew.

I know. Dad doesn't like
to correct your Hebrew.

-Really?
-When you get confused,

Dad tells me when you can't see,

because he doesn't like
to correct your Hebrew,

because he likes it
when you make mistakes.

But don't tell him I told you.

I'm sorry I'm not home.

But I want you to remember
that you are my favorite
boy in the world.

And that I love you more than
anything, and I always will.

I promise you,
you'll have siblings.

I promise.

I promise.

Hey.

Hey.

-What is it?
-I had a test done.
I'm not pregnant.

Neither am I.

-I know how much you want this.
-Hey, hey.

Don't.

Don't blame yourself.
We're in this together, okay?

Don't worry.

You'll get pregnant soon.
I promise.

I'm going to wash away
this filthy day off of me.

-Are you coming?
-In a little bit.

Okay.

Don't go to work tomorrow.

I embarrassed you.
