[dog barking]
30,000, and be grateful
you're leaving with cash
and not a bullet between the eyes.
[suspenseful music playing]
Fuck!
MALIBU LUXURY VEHICLES
[indistinct chatter]
[car alarm beeps]
-How's it going?
-Hey.
-Welcome.
-Thank you.
Right this way.
Bakshi! Long time no see.
Sweetheart.
Hey, fella.
-You're a kaleidoscope in heels.
-[chuckles]
Hey, why is Elharizi on my ass?
I don't know.
But he's waiting for you.
[music fades]
[keypad beeping]
[intriguing music playing]
-You good, bro?
-Don't work too hard, yeah?
[man] Yeah, right.
He here?
In the back.
I'm going in.
Go ahead.

BUSINESS OF THE YEAR 2007
MALIBU LUXURY VEHICLES
[music swells]
[music subsides]
[man 1] Take him out back.
I don't wanna see his fucking face.
Oh!
[music swells]
Look, everyone.
We've got a VIP in our midst.
-[chuckles]
-[music subsides]
Well? Where have you been lately, huh?
Keeping your distance?
[Bakshi] Not at all.
I came as soon as I heard
you were looking for me. Right?
[quietly] Buckle up.
[man 1 chuckling]
-Cigarette?
-No. No, thanks.
-I decided to quit.
-[man 1] Yeah?
[Bakshi] Yeah. I've got the gene
for the… lung emphysema or whatever.
-Hmm.
-Uh, my uncle died cause of it.
Poor guy, gone too soon.
It's cause no one knows
how to smoke right.
You inhale, then blow it out.
You don't let the smoke marinate
like Zion, fuckin' idiot.
What am I an idiot for?
[man 1 chuckles] Look at that.
You don't even have enough air
for a complete sentence.
Well? How're things going at the yard?
All good? The same?
Yeah. It's all good.
Good. You're keeping things organized?
Documented?
Yeah. You have my balance sheet.
I gave it to Zion.
Why? What's wrong?
I'll tell you what.
Well, for one,
you have the handwriting of a chimp.
[chuckles nervously]
Did you mistake your pencil
for a banana? [chuckles]
[chuckles] No.
Maybe it's 'cause I'm a lefty.
It's just that I was comparing numbers
in the balance sheet
with the amount of your last drop.
We're missing 300,000 shekels.
[Bakshi] What?
That's impossible.
You don't trust Zion's math?
I'm telling you, there's just no way.
I can look. I mean, maybe I dropped it.
But 300,000?
No chance. Like losing a blimp.
Perhaps a straggler was sniffing around?
Or maybe a visitor of yours?
No.
You sure?
[Bakshi] I'm positive.
There's no way, for God's sake.
Okay.
So what else is new?
I hear you're due for a mazel tov.
What do you mean?
I understand you bought a new car.
Huh?
Hey, you make good money working for me.
I get it.
Even so…
Savings?
What?
No. It's pre-owned.
Hey,
you're letting your imagination run wild.
I… I'll go look for the money.
I'm sure it'll turn up.
And the car?
That has nothing to do with it.
My uncle Bechor,
the one who owned the restaurant,
he had emphysema. He died recently?
It's from him.
He… he was alone, no kids.
It's all he had left.
Ah.
Sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
[man 1] Truly.
The money may have fallen somewhere, huh?
Perhaps Zion should help you find it.
Zion, why don't you go with him?
Wait, wait, hold on. Uh, hold on.
I'll go look. No Zion. Trust me, I'm cool.
This son of a bitch…
[man 1] Easy, Shiko. Take it easy.
That's cool. I wanna go with Zion too.
I got a good eye.
[man 1] There you go.
Then Shiko will go too.
I… I… I'll go. I'll go.
I… I can… I can go
and be back in a minute.
-Give me 30 and I'll be back.
-No, no. Shh.
Everything's fine. Relax. It's all good.
They'll lend a hand. That amount of cash,
the more eyes the merrier.
Zion, drive our friend here.
Shiko will help too.
[Zion] Let's go.
[ominous music playing]
Leave the keys to the BMW here for now,
until we're squared away.
I don't get you, Zion.
Why take this route?
Too much traffic at this hour.
It's eleven in the morning. What traffic?
Hey, Zion, man, where are you going?
This isn't a shortcut.
You're going the wrong way.
[tense music playing]
[music swells]
[dramatic music playing]
[music swells]
[opening theme music playing]
BROS
[suspenseful music playing]
-[man] Hola.
-[Bakshi] Hola, señor.
Where we going?
You know where we're going. Left, left.
-[Nisso sighs]
-[uneasy music playing]
You dumb fucking guys.
Now do you see why you shouldn't advertise
you're Israeli when you're on vacation?
You saved me half the work.
What do you want?
Shut it.
Your room is 129.
Open it.
There might be someone in there.
I do my best work in front of an audience.
But even if your girls aren't in there,
I think I'll manage.
Thanks for your concern. Now open it!
[door mechanism beeps, unlocks]
Get the fuck in. Move!
Now we need to stage the scene.
What scene? What do you want?
I want… you… to kill him, then yourself.
And by the sound of all that yelling
in the lobby,
it'll look just like a crime of passion.
What? This makes no sense.
What do you want?
What have we done? We sold you
a luxury car for next to nothing.
What's the problem?
Some issue with the clutch?
[Bakshi] We got a comedian, huh?
You shitheads. Do you find all this funny?
-Huh? Jet-setting on my dime?
-"Dime"?
Listen, he's not involved.
I stole the cash.
I stole from you. He had no part in it.
What cash, Nisso?
The BMW was worth more,
so I added the missing chunk.
That's how I paid the advance
on the Pinones.
You motherfuckers. I knew it was you guys!
It was just me, okay? Not him.
I don't care whether he knew or not.
You're with him.
So tell us… tell me how much I owe.
I'll pay you back.
I don't get it. You followed us
all the way here for a little cash?
Is… isn't that kind of excessive?
"Excessive"?
Thanks to you two, it's six months
since I've been able to see my daughter.
I had to run with a fake ID
like some refugee.
-I don’t even have a toothbrush!
-Because of the 300K?
Yes, you fucking genius! Do you even know
who you fucking stole from?
It wasn't me.
You stole it from my boss, you idiot.
Ever heard the name Elharizi?
Because of the stunt you pulled,
he thinks I stole his fucking money.
Okay, now it's my turn to do the talking.
You, come sit here. You, sit there. You…
-No, no, wait a second.
-Just hold on, for God's sake.
-Listen for a second.
-No!
Listen. Listen!
[tense music playing]
I don't know. I don't like this.
-Why not?
-You'll go to Elharizi?
Yeah. We'll go to Elharizi and say
that we were the ones who stole the money.
Not you.
Why'd he try to take you out?
He thought you were the thief.
But when he talks to us…
He'll find out it was us
who stole the money,
which… which is true.
That'll get you off the hook.
You know, it's common sense.
It's so simple that even you…
[grunts]
I just mean that it's easy to follow.
We'll add interest
for the time we kept it. Standard rate.
Of course. Interest, plus inflation, plus…
Nisso will do the math.
Just think.
Two average Joes come to him
and say, "We stole your money. Here."
Wouldn't he be relieved?
Tell him that you stole the cash
from Bakshi and had no idea it was his.
-Yeah.
-Okay.
Bakshi.
But don't think
you're some sort of geniuses for this.
The plan backfires on us,
and I got a guy back home
who will fuck you up.
-"He works for Bakshi."
-Huh?
Yeah, we know you have people.
-I mean, we figure you… Uh…
-[music fades]
Think about it. This is our best option.
And wouldn't it be easier
than shooting us?
-Uh-huh.
-At least this way there's a chance.
[chuckles] You know, you can go home.
You can be with your family.
I… I just can't imagine it.
It's… it just isn't right. It's like…
How
could a dad not see his daughter
for months?
I mean, I… I'm a father.
I get it. You know? It's, uh…
How old is she?
You're not my friend.
You don't talk about my daughter!
[tense music playing]
[door mechanism beeps]
[music subsides]
You boys drunk?
[music fades]
Yeah, naturally.
What else can we do?
My life is over, so we drink.
Pini, I don't wanna get involved,
but I think you should probably hear
what she has to say
before you decide to blow up.
She's right. At least hear her out
before you get pissed.
-There's always an explanation.
-You shut up, or I'll break your jaw.
He's fighting with you too?
He's angry, and he's right.
But you need to cool down.
Sometimes, people mess up
because they're in an emotional state.
-Not because they're trying to hurt you.
-He's right.
Listen more, talk less.
Talk less, trust me.
Sons of bitches, both of you.
[Nisso sighs]
Maybe you should have
stayed the night with her.
Maybe I should've.
But, Pini, she asked for you.
Hmm. She asked?
Got it.
It's basically your wedding night.
Enjoy your last minutes
as a bachelor, Nisso, huh?
[door opens]
[door closes]
That won't be us.
[Nisso sighs]
He thinks that marriage
is some kind of a trap.
[somber music playing]
[sighs deeply]
My God!
I dreamed I was run over by a tractor.
-Ah, so now I'm a tractor?
-Uh…
What's with you?
How can you ask me that?
-Listen, Yaffit--
-No, you listen.
We decided on something together,
and that means something,
especially when we're getting married.
If this is how it starts,
what do you think the end will look like?
In the end, we'll die.
No, that's not what I mean.
The end of the start, Nachum.
I don't get it
that you jumbled the time periods.
Tell me, do you have an explanation
for what you've done?
It was… about to expire, and so I…
It hurt me to throw it out.
[chuckles]
You're a liar.
You hid it.
I threw away all the ice cream.
Why, Yaffit?
Because we decided.
You decided.
You really think that?
-Yeah.
-Sorry?
You should be sorry.
You're being incredibly disrespectful.
And my future wife
shouldn't berate me like this.
What? What's my crime, huh?
That I like to eat?
If you want a skinny guy, marry David.
You're a weakling, Nachum.
I'm not perfect,
and I shouldn't have to be.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[church bell tolling]
[flicking lighter]
[flicks lighter]
[cell phone beeping]
[grunts]
PINI: GET UP, ASSHOLE,
HOW COULD YOU FALL ASLEEP?
COME TO THE LOBBY TO TALK ABOUT BAKSHI.
[indistinct chatter]
I should punch you,
break your jaw for real,
but violence is not the way.
Every other day I'm with you,
someone sticks a gun in my mouth.
Who else put a gun in your mouth?
The biker I killed in the hit-and-run.
The one who said, "Hello from Bakshi."
To no one's surprise, it's because of you.
You knew exactly who that guy was,
and you played dumb.
I had a feeling,
so I went to the junkyard,
asked someone there.
They said he was dead, so I dropped it.
Why didn't you say that?
Because you had all this anxiety.
I didn't wanna add to it.
Let's go get a coffee. Come on.
Fuck. My brain's exploding.
It's like Nachum's beating his drum
in my head. I didn't sleep at all.
[Nisso] You guys
stayed up all night talking?
[Pini] I stayed up.
She slept like a baby.
You didn't talk to her?
She's your wife.
What are you, ten years old?
I'll talk to her. Don't you worry.
This isn't over yet, believe me.
But we have to get home first.
You're gonna wait till then?
Talk to her now!
You went off on her in the lobby
like an asshole, humiliating her.
Listen to her side of the story,
even if it's hard.
You can't just… yell at her like that.
[Pini] Is that the market?
I'm serious, bro, I really need a coffee.
I think I'm having an aneurysm.
Isn't it a little big
for a four-month-old?
He'll grow right into it, bless his heart.
I miss that kid.
And the thing is, even if I did wanna call
to check on little Aaron,
I'd have to talk to Nitza.
You get it. And she'll ask, "How's Alma?
Where's Alma?" What would I say?
"She's unfaithful"?
"Your daughter's betrayed me"?
"Go get Hilik. I want him to hear."
Stop it. You're driving me up the wall.
What's wrong with you?
This man, Elharizi.
Remember the concrete story?
He's the one who poured concrete
over some guy in the mall parking lot.
Dude was buried alive.
Huh. That's one hell
of a headstone though.
It's a joke to you?
I'll tell the guy, "It was a mistake.
I thought Bakshi was scamming us,
so I went back for the rest."
"But had I known that the cash
belonged to you, I wouldn't've stolen it."
Enlighten me. You two're such good pals
that you can say that to his face?
You think he's some kind of therapist?
You go in to see this guy,
you're not coming out alive.
I've come to find the truth always wins.
Yeah, just like the truth won over
in the courtroom so well.
You went in there, confessed.
I was left holding my underwear.
You know what? I'll play along.
Let's pretend he appreciates honesty.
A real gentle soul.
Says, "Bring me the cash."
Where will you get it?
I haven't figured that out yet.
Nisso, do one thing for me, okay?
We're in this mess together.
It's your fault, of course.
Credit where credit's due,
but from now on, no more secrets.
[Nisso sighs]
Fair enough.
Hey!
There they are. Come on.
Oh, here she is, my loving wife.
What? You're running away?
Did you start meditating?
Okay, Let's go, Nisso.
-I need to find a gift for Yaffit.
-Okay.
What do you need him for?
He has terrible taste. Take her.
Hey, come on, guys.
Rotem and I just got engaged.
-Enough with all this negative energy.
-Cut it out.
You're a piece of shit.
[chuckles]
[intriguing music playing]
[annoyed grunt]
[music fades]
Did you just throw a pepper at me,
you freak?
Too bad it just missed your head.
Hey lady. What the hell?
"Pardon." I'm sorry.
You gotta pay.
Pini, can you pay him?
Why should I pay for the pepper?
You threw it.
You want them to arrest me? Well?
"Pardon."
Two. Two euros.
What's two? A pepper's one.
Two.
Now you owe me two euros for your tantrum.
-[coins clink]
-Two.
-[coins clink]
-[cash register closes]
Now, you listen to me,
and listen carefully,
whether you want to or not.
I went to hear about a job offer, okay?
That's all. And then he went rogue
and kissed me, okay?
Just so you understand
what actually happened,
'cause I can see
your imagination's running wild.
It's just a kiss.
Ah, wonderful, I feel all better.
"Just a kiss."
No, come on.
No, not "just," for God's sake,
but do you get what I'm saying?
I didn't want it. It was so sudden.
It came out of nowhere.
I couldn't anticipate it.
I was appalled. Then I turned around
and walked out and sped home.
Then he started calling,
so I screened his calls,
and then he started texting,
and that's what you saw.
I know I should've told you.
I am now, okay?
I'm really sorry you found out like that.
I know that I'm an idiot.
I should've come clean right away.
But think about it logically for a second.
Do you honestly believe
there's another man out there
that I could love more?
Please, come on. Stop.
Let's sit for a bit and talk.
We can buy a little cheese, wine…
Beer.
[romantic music playing]
This is amazing.
This thing cost 11 euros.
How genius am I?
Can you believe? Eleven euros.
At home, this glass of wine
would cost 200 shekels.
-Yeah, right?
-Awesome.
It's like everything's easier here, huh?
Yeah, completely.
Hey, come on,
let's partner up with the ice cream guy.
[chuckling]
Uh, to be honest…
that might be in my cards.
Moving abroad.
"In your cards"? Overseas?
-[music fades]
-Yeah.
You know, when we separated,
things changed, and, um…
Back when I joined my father's business,
I, uh… I took all my ideas, my plans, and…
He has an associate in London.
They want me to be a manager there.
They want my decision by Tuesday.
To let them know.
How did you get yourself such a huge gig?
Was it you or your dad?
No, it was actually my idea.
For real, London? Huh.
Yeah.
Chelsea.
Arsenal.
-Tottenham, Fulham, West Ham…
-[chuckles softly]
Wow!
Yeah, I'm sure there are
other soccer teams in London too.
That's just the Premier League.
But… do you see why it's tricky?
If we do this, that means…
we'd need to get married
within eight weeks, and…
This was already in the works
way before you came back into the picture.
Well, you know that I'd never stop you
from following your passion.
It's just that Pini and I…
We lost the bar because of me,
and Pini always stood by me.
How can I abandon him?
You know?
It's a job interview.
The interviewer and the interviewee.
There's a desk between you.
So what I wanna know is
how exactly did you ever end up
standing lip-to-lip?
And, I mean,
why make a move and only kiss?
Who kisses? What is he,
your grandma on Rosh Hashanah?
We weren't in an office.
He was leading a tour of the school.
You know, it's the high school I went to?
He showed me everything that's changed
throughout the building.
He wanted to bring me on
as the vice principal.
I left that out. You didn't let me.
What an asshole. Son of a bitch.
Mr. Moshav really wants a vice principal
to chase around the desk.
That's enough.
That was all, all right?
Okay, so he shows you around, and…?
So then there was a second
when I turned to face toward him
and… he moved closer,
and then… before I could tell him no,
he leaned in.
Then I raced home. That's all.
You have a job interview
and you don't even bother
to tell me about it?
I didn't wanna say anything
when I wasn't even sure
what was on the table yet.
He invited me. I figured I'd go and see.
What a sicko. Principal, my ass.
So that's his MO, huh?
He waits until after school
when everyone goes home,
then calls in hot teachers
for job interviews.
Who cares about him? He's not worth it.
Maybe we can just forget he exists
and move on.
But what you're really trying to tell me
is that I'm a hot teacher?
I wasn't referring to you.
You think I'm hot.
[Alma chuckles softly]
Look at these Europeans.
Sun comes out,
the mating begins, like wild animals.
Isn't that Nisso?
[both laughing]
Animals.
There's still time before the flight.
Do you wanna head to the hotel
for a quick shower?
[mischievous music playing]
"Shower" shower?
[quirky music playing]
-La la la, la la la la ♪
-Pla, pla, pla, boo, boo, boo ♪
-Oh! Welcome back!
-There he is!
Who's coming to Mama? Come here!
We forced him to stay awake for you.
-Who's that?
-Ooh!
Mama? Mama? Say "Mama." Say "Mama."
Enough with the "mama, mama."
Leave him alone already.
He's been trying to teach the kid
to say "Grandpa" for three days, my God.
Yeah? Yeah, Matani, I missed you.
I missed you! He was a perfect angel?
He sure farts a lot.
Yeah. Grandpa's been teaching him.
[chuckles]
-Where's Pini? Did you lose him?
-He's just bringing my suitcase in.
[music fades]
[distant dog barking]
Hey. What's up?
[quirky music resumes]
[Izhar grunts, screams in pain]
Mm-hmm.
[music fades]
[uneasy music playing]
You know, I don't know many mafia bosses
who wear name tags to work.
It's almost like
we're at a car dealership.
That's what they want you to think.
You expect them to hang up a sign,
"Welcome to Mafia R Us"?
Fair.
It's always an ordinary business.
It's a front.
So, what… what did Bakshi say, huh?
Is there a password?
He said go to the back there
and ask for Zion.
His boss is the… Elharizi dude.
[Pini] Mm.
You know, I looked him up, Elharizi.
Hmm. Years back, everyone said, you know,
he's…
They say he's…
he's made a lot of guys disappear.
I hope you left a note for Rotem
saying you love her
and you would have made a great husband.
What now? You wanna chicken out?
After we finally got the balls
to come here?
[sighs]
If you wanna go home, I'll go myself.
Fine by me.
You go. Go on. Bye.
Fucking idiot.
[unsettling music sting]
