INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS
[distant siren wailing]
[man] Ah!
Wh-Where are the cameras?
Maybe there's a camera inside.
Why don't you look?
If I'd left anything on,
I would have remembered.
Sometimes an old fuse can go out and
the whole fuse box just starts to burn.
There's no sign of tampering.
Menashe is an expert.
You heard what he said.
[sighs] That doesn't help much.
[indistinct chatter]
-Sir
-I work here.
I'm looking at six-figure losses
here probably.
-Yeah. All right, I understand.
-What's going on here, Yardena?
What is this?
They called me early this morning.
You didn't see what happened?
No.
I was here late.
I think I went home around 3 a.m.
They said it was something
with the fuse box, I guess,
b-but what do I know about it?
Well, I don't know
Isn't it weird for a fuse box
to blow like that?
What about the scarves you got, maybe?
It could have been that.
They might have caught fire
because of that light you leave on.
So you did leave something on in there?
You know what, Pini?
You should mind your own business.
Look, it's just a night light.
I've had it for 30 years or more.
Suddenly it burns the place down?
Sorry, Yardena, I didn't mean to
-[Yardena sighs]
-If you need anything, come over.
Son of a bitch.
[quirky theme song playing]
BROS
[sighs]
[contemplative music playing]
[commentator] Maccabi Tel Aviv
is down a player,
but they're still
going strong at this point.
Avrahami passes
and takes a rough tackle
Look there! Penalty!
Check this out, Nisso.
Mamilian's going to aim for the net,
just like the championship in '76.
No, he'll make a move with Danny Neuman.
He'll never shoot from there.
Just watch, he'll do it!
Mamilian sets up the shot.
Avrahami's close by.
They've practiced this play in training,
and Neuman Neuman scores!
Yeah! Ha ha!
-See, I told ya!
-You called it. How'd you know that?
-Yeah!
-Ha ha!
The Israeli State Cup is ours! ♪
Whoa!
The Israeli State Cup is ours! ♪
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Nisso. Do you take after me at all?
-You're a carbon copy of your dad.
-Aww!
Yeah, that's right.
Heck yeah, Mommy, yeah!
[game commentary fading]
Hey, sorry, bro.
It totally slipped my mind.
[Nisso] It's okay. Thanks for coming.
Your dad was always such a funny guy.
Remember when they opened
that gag gift store?
And he got that little whoopee cushion.
[laughing]
-And
-Yeah. [snorts]
And whenever he saw a woman
bend over in the store, he'd just
Yeah.
He would have liked
hanging out at our bar, right?
You could have had
a drinking buddy for your extra fine.
God, he was young, wasn't he?
Thirty-seven.
My God, I mean, he was just a kid.
Yeah. At least he left something.
A wife and kids.
So where's your sister?
She's still there in Chicago.
What's she supposed to do?
Fly out every time there's
a memorial to kiss a gravestone?
Yeah.
Know where I was this morning?
No, where?
I have a surprise.
I don't like surprises.
What is it, Nisso?
I got us a nice package deal
for the big rematch in Kraków.
I got two of everything.
Plane tickets, nice rooms,
good seats, everything.
Really?
What's the matter?
This game is once in a lifetime.
With the pregnancy and Alma,
it's just tricky right now.
All right.
Doesn't matter.
-What happened to your forehead?
-[phone buzzing]
I just bumped into a shelf in my room.
What the?
Shit!
I have a bunch of missed calls
from Adam, I forgot.
That's okay, I got back to him.
I took it all inside.
Ah.
Sorry.
You were at the bar?
Yeah.
Know what happened?
What?
Tsameret went up in flames.
What do you mean?
Tsameret Boutique.
The whole place burnt down, to a crisp.
Not even a hanger left.
Wait, when?
Had to have been last night.
They said it might be
the fuse box, a short circuit.
Wow, that sucks.
[whimsical music playing]
Maybe I should grate
a few zucchinis or something.
I could fry some eggs.
I could make an awesome pita on the side.
A few tomatoes, some sauce.
Pini, I'm not hungry.
Okay, fine. No sauce.
What's going on?
Don't cook right now.
You're just going to start
frying a bunch of stuff?
I'm trying to talk to you.
Why are you so hostile?
Could you make that nice tea
with the mint and the?
[chuckles] You'll never guess
what Nisso did.
I can't believe that guy sometimes.
He didn't even ask me first.
He took out some cash and
he just bought it.
He did it, so we can't really
It's done and so
What did he buy?
He got tickets to the rematch in Poland.
The whole thing.
He got the plane tickets,
the seats, the hotel room.
It's a package deal, all inclusive.
You know what I mean, uh
It's a bundle.
-So you're going to Poland?
-Well, what do you think I said?
I told him right away, I was like,
"Dude, are you serious?"
"You wanna do this right now,
when Alma's in
one of her, uh one of her trimesters?"
"How dare you ask me to go?"
Really?
[knock on door]
Hi.
Hey.
You all right?
Yeah.
You gonna let me in?
Been to the cemetery?
Yeah.
You knew.
Of course.
I wanted to be there,
I just didn't know if you
No, that's okay. Pini was there.
Ha.
You still have that painting.
You never hung it.
Yeah.
Wow.
I always liked this.
The painter was so nice, wasn't he?
Remember, he did a painting
of Nachlat Binyamin?
Looked just like Jerusalem.
That's why we liked it.
Yeah.
You have a hammer?
Look, Alma
What happened last night was
it was just really bad luck.
I really I did really mean
to come home, for real.
But I'm not gonna lie, all right?
Truth is, we're in serious trouble.
The competition is brutal.
That Adir guy, he's totally
wiping us out with his Shraga Bar.
Profits are down 50%.
One of us has to be there
on a night like that.
It's important for us to show up.
It really does mean something to people.
And at the end of the day,
it's how I put food on the table.
I understand that.
You have to know this, Alma.
Okay? I'm with you.
You can choose
to believe me or not, but I
I'm excited too.
[knock on door]
Just so you know, I'm sober.
I'm changing.
I'm dead serious, Alma.
Just ask Nisso. He gives me hell.
He says I'm slowing down
and calls me "grandpa."
I swear I'm serious, Alma.
No more fuckups.
[woman] Hello. Are you Pini Mayman?
Yes.
I'm Reut Weiss.
I hear in the store
next to yours there was a fire?
I'm an insurance investigator.
I'm looking into it.
Mind if I speak to you?
How's this?
Looks good.
-Yeah?
-Mm-hmm.
Oh, no.
Wait.
It's crooked.
It's crooked?
[Rotem] Yeah.
Uh and now?
[chuckles]
You're dumb.
Yeah.
I
I got two tickets to the
to the game in Kraków.
It's a deal and an all inclusive package.
I wanted to surprise Pini.
Oh. You did?
-Yeah.
-So are you going?
Uh no.
It's not a good time for him
because of the stuff with Alma.
Yeah. He's right.
He shouldn't go then.
How about you?
Me?
Wait.
You want me to go with you?
Would you?
What is this?
I mean why?
What are you doing?
What do you want?
I'm done playing these games with you.
You dump me like it's nothing,
say we have no future,
and then you come here and
and ask me to go to Poland?
What's that even mean?
Are we together?
-Just forget it.
-Uh, no, it's important.
Explain it to me.
Do we have a future?
You said you don't think so.
You're just going to decide that for me?
No, no, I'm not deciding.
So no future, okay.
That's what you think?
Mm-hmm.
Now let me tell you what I think.
I think we have a great future.
And I think it doesn't matter anyway,
because if you love me right now,
who cares about the future?
And I know you love me.
So I don't get it.
Forget it.
So, what are you doing here, Nisso?
I don't know, I thought
Sorry, I guess you're right.
[Reut] So you were the last one to leave.
What time did you say it was, 3:00?
Around three o'clock,
but for the exact time, I'd have to look
at the register at the bar.
And no one was in the bar after you?
No.
How are things with you and Yardena?
We're neighbors, you know.
I told her if she needs help
with anything, we'd help her out.
Well, that's not what I heard.
-What do you mean?
-I heard you got into a big fight.
What do you mean by a big fight?
We've been neighbors for ten years.
It's okay to get mad.
No, I heard there was shouting
and outbursts, you weren't just mad.
She's considering filing charges and
So wait, you think
we had something to do with this?
What, how does an argument over a table
have anything to do
with their place burning down?
The inspector said
it was an issue with the fuse box.
How did you know that?
Yardena told me.
I don't see what the fuss is about.
She pays insurance premiums
for years and then this happens.
Give her the money already and move on.
These fires almost never
happen by accident.
I believe you, I don't know
what this has to do with me.
Well, the thing is you're neighbors.
Frankly, she's a bit unpleasant.
Probably hard on your business.
I'm sorry, but you're out of line.
I mean it.
And actually
I don't have anything else to say to you.
[Reut] Okay.
I'll pass that on, then.
Alma.
Leave me alone.
Alma, what are you doing?
I don't want to be here.
-Are you crazy? What's wrong?
-Did I marry a criminal?
Take it easy. Talk to me.
Do you think I can't tell
when you're lying?
Your eyebrow twitched
when you talked to her.
You did it.
You burned down the shop.
-Alma.
-Let go of me!
Are you listening to yourself?
Come on.
Does it really make sense that I would
burn down our neighbor's shop?
She's 70 years old.
Just listen to yourself, Alma.
I'm not an idiot.
It's all you talk about.
"The fucking bar is being edged out."
She's your competition.
I see right through you.
You're overreacting. What you're saying
makes no sense, okay?
Really? I saw the look
on your face out there
and it was obvious.
She came to our home.
You think I need that right now?
You tell me you're changing,
but that's not what I see.
Tell me you understand
what I'm saying, Pini.
-Yeah, I do.
-So why did you lie to her?
I want you to tell me.
There's nothing to tell.
Alma.
Wait. Alma.
Wait, hold on. So, what now?
I don't know. I'll be at my parents'.
Leave. Go to Poland
with your other wife.
-I already told you, I don't want
-Just go.
[pensive music playing]
Eitan, you know, that's exactly
the car that I wanted.
It's perfect for me.
I've wanted a new car for a while now.
No. Better price was at the lot.
I'll get a good price there, right?
Yeah. No, I think
-I don't care if she's busy.
-He just barged in.
Eitan, I've gotta run, but I trust you.
-It's fine. Just close the door.
-Close the door.
Here's what you wanted.
[door closes]
What's this?
It's all there.
That's double the amount.
Half should cover our place.
The other half is for Yardena's.
I hear she's moving out.
-What do you want me to do with this?
-That's your call, but our debt is paid.
[sighs]
No, I'm sorry, I can't do that.
It's cash.
What are you talking about?
I can't take a year's rent like this.
It's a bunch of money in a bag.
-I don't work like that. We're legitimate.
-Really? It's legitimate?
Even though you announced you're raising
the rent by 10% a whole year upfront?
I don't have time for this now. Get out.
Okay, Coral. Yeah, I get it.
You should be proud
of what you've got going here,
but you want to know something, huh?
We used to bring your father
a wad of cash in a rubber band.
Yeah, but that was my father, not me.
But it's the same company.
And when the tax people audit you,
they go back seven years or more.
But I'm sure you know that,
you're a businesswoman.
If Dad's guilty of something,
take it up with him.
Sure, but I'm a fish.
Your father's the shark.
What do you want?
Just take it.
You got exactly what you wanted.
Don't be difficult. Come on.
I bet you know what to do with it.
This arrangement could be perfect.
I'm taking two places off your hands.
The renovation's on me.
[contemplative music playing]
[phone beeping]
INCOMING MESSAGE: NISSO
THE OTHER GUY PULLED OUT,
THE PLACE IS OURS FOR TEN YEARS.
ARE YOU NEARBY?
SENDING: NISSO
[Pini] Hey, boss, how you doing?
Putting out furniture?
You don't have staff?
That's how it goes,
I end up doing it myself.
[chuckles]
Finally, her window actually looks good.
-Yes. He got a serious offer
-[indistinct chatter]
A hundred thousand? You're kidding.
I thought you were a serious guy,
but you're obviously not.
I'm giving you money to jump ship.
I'm not buying your brand.
Your place is old.
No offense.
To use it, I'd have to invest, renovate.
No one's going to give you 300 for it.
These places are old.
I mean, just look at Yardena.
Her fuse box burned the place down.
It's a total rebuild.
It'd be the same with yours.
And I hear she's not renewing her lease.
So she'll be gone.
How do you know that?
It's a small street.
That's what you offer me?
You want to take Yardena's store,
break the wall between us
and build an underground club, right?
That kind of dream's expensive.
Don't insult me with 100,000.
Give me a real offer.
I have to talk to my partners first.
Don't get emotional, it's a negotiation.
You wanted it.
Keep me posted.
Wait, hang on.
The two of us can work this out.
-I don't have to talk to your partner?
-What do you mean?
It's just you keep it light.
He's a little hostile.
I'll take care of it.
If you make a serious offer,
we'll talk about it.
-Let me know.
-Will do.
[Nisso] Wait to knock down the wall
until you're done.
Here's an advance on the renovation,
you'll get the rest later.
[man] All right, I trust you.
-We can sign a contract when I get back.
-So where's Pini?
I thought he'd be here.
He's running errands.
He'll be here to sign.
Are we cool? [clasps hand]
[phone dialing]
[ringtone playing]
-[ringtone stops]
-[Pini's phone beeping]
[dog snarling]
Schvartze.
Schvartze, what's going on with you?
-Relax, Schvartze, it's me.
-[dog barks]
-What are you doing here?
-Why are you screening my calls?
[dog snarls]
Now you're standing in bushes
waiting for me, stalking me?
You know if I let go
of Schvartze, he'll eat you?
My dad trained him to identify criminals.
You don't want to hear what I have to say?
Ever thought about knocking on the door?
Yeah, right. And get put through
the wringer by Hilik and Nitza?
-Can you take the beast inside and talk?
-He has a name.
-You won't talk alone?
-No.
And if you piss him off,
you know right where he'll bite you.
Right, Schvartze?
[dog snarls]
Okay, fine then.
You're on bag duty.
You have until he poops and that's it.
Okay, why me?
What did he eat?
-Did Hilik give him Nitza's quiche again?
-You better hurry up.
First of all
you said some very serious things.
You were really out of line.
You went too far.
-Now you're telling me how I should speak?
-Just a second.
I I wanted to tell you
so you know that I'm serious about this.
I wanted to say I've decided
What have you decided?
Me and the bar it's done.
I had a chat with Adir,
the guy from Shraga Bar.
And we negotiated and he's interested.
You're selling?
Yeah.
Wow.
I understand, Alma,
you don't have to say it.
Someone who wants a family
can't live like that.
Are you sure that's what you want?
I want you.
I want to start a family.
You know, I never asked you
to do all of this for us.
I-I never told you
to choose me or the bar.
-I just wanted to know you were
-This is what I want.
What about Nisso?
He's on board with this?
I don't know what to say to Nisso.
He'll be crushed.
