Bros (2024) s02e07 Episode Script
Season 2, Episode 7
[dogs barking]
Let me talk, all right?
Why not?
-[suspenseful music playing]
-[indistinct chatter]
How exactly do we find this guy?
[woman] Hold on.
Did you speak with Arik about financing?
[woman chuckles]
Okay. I understand. I do. I got it. Yeah.
That's fine. Installments work.
If there's something we're good at,
it's accommodating our customers.
Perfect. Think it over and let me know.
Bye.
-Hello.
-Hello.
Um, we were told to see Zion.
Hey. Is it the 1st?
Aren't there any normal customers?
Everyone's all "Zion, Zion."
-What can I say?
-You're both here for Zion?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, you can wait in that room.
Is he expecting you?
Or are you both here
doing a "whenever he's available"?
Oh, uh, if he's busy, we can go.
It's not--
No, no. When he's available.
Okay. Go and sit. Over there.
[inaudible speech]
It'll be okay.
-Yeah?
-Mm-hmm.
What makes you think like that?
[Nisso exhales deeply]
It's a business.
It's all about him wanting your money.
You've got tons of cash,
so everything's cool.
[cell phone beeping]
[groans]
It's Shabi with the food truck.
He says it's ready,
and we should go get it.
Let's see if we make it out of here
in one piece.
Then we'll consider the food truck.
[sighs]
If you think positive, it'll go well.
Hmm.
-Mahatma Gandhi.
-Hmm.
-Take the kids. Drive to your mother's.
-[uneasy music playing]
Just forget school.
[breathing anxiously]
If I don't call you back in three days,
go.
If you have any problems,
you speak to Tzuka, no one else.
Don't tell my mom anything.
She has a weak heart.
Don't cry now. Stop it.
I need you strong.
Sophia, tell the kids that--
[gasps]
[Zion] Okay, Zaza. Let's go.
Zion, a favor. Talk with the boss.
T, t, t, t, t, tell him to, uh…
Um, I'm… I…
-Zaza.
-I… I came of my own free will, yeah?
--Zaza, enough. Zaza.
-I have three beautiful children. Please…
-I beg…
-Stop it, Zaza. Stop whining already.
-My mother…
-You know how this goes.
-No, come on.
-You're just pissing me off.
-Be a man.
-Oh, please, it can all be fixed, Zion.
-What are you here for? Are you with him?
-[Zaza] Oh, please.
No, no, no, no. No. Oh, no. We're later.
-What for?
-[Zaza whimpering]
She said we should wait here for you.
I've seen you somewhere?
Hmm? [chuckles]
Oh, it's just my face. It's ordinary.
-Yeah, uh, ordinary stupid face.
-Thanks.
Wait here, all right?
-I'm begging you, Zion.
-[keypad beeping]
-Do me a favor, Zion.
-Quiet.
-Talk to the boss, come on! Talk to him!
-Shut up, already!
[Nisso sighs]
Still calm?
We might as well get it done
since we're here.
Where'd he recognize you from?
Uh, well, he was at Bakshi's junkyard.
[Pini exhales sharply]
I've gotta take a leak.
[Nisso exhales shakily]
Yeah, me too.
Let's hit the head before he's back.
We better go now,
so we don't piss ourselves
in the chair in front of him.
Over there.
[Nisso sighs]
Do you know where it is,
or are we just walking around blind?
Yeah, I piss here the 1st of every month.
-[distant thud]
-[man 1 screams]
-[distant thud]
-[man 1 groans]
-[distant thud]
-[man 1 groans]
-[distant thud]
-[man 1 groans]
[man 2] You like that?
-[distant thud]
-[man 1 groans]
-[punch connects]
-[man 2] Motherfucker!
-[punch connects]
-[man 1 groans]
-[punch connects]
-[man 1 screams]
-[man 2 grunts angrily] Mother… fucker!
-[menacing music playing]
Break that son of a bitch.
All right.
-[Zaza groaning]
-Batter up!
-Motherfucker!
-[Zaza groaning]
[Zaza groaning]
[music fades]
[uneasy music playing]
Wait, wait. Wait a second, will you?
That Zion dude already saw us.
He forgot about you the first time,
he'll forget again for the second time.
Didn't you get what happens to people
who wait on that specific line?
Get a bat to their heads.
Why would he take a bat to you?
You're coming to him of your own volition.
You're saying,
"It was a mistake. I'll return your cash."
And why would I volunteer to do that?
Does it make any sense?
What am I, a chicken sacrificing myself
for Yom Kippur?
Hey, Pini.
These guys aren't gonna quit.
Listen to me.
You… you're just postponing.
He had someone, and he's been killed.
Oh, but he doesn't know that.
That biker who said,
"Bakshi sends his regards,"
was his man. Get it?
He's counting on him.
That bald bastard in there
wants to bury us under a parking space.
You're right.
Holy fuck.
Well, his man's already dead, right?
That son of a bitch. Fuck it!
[Pini] Exactly.
Very nice.
[music swells to crescendo]
[opening theme music playing]
BROS
[music fades]
Why don't you sit in the sun a bit?
Maybe you'll get
some of that Maimon family complexion.
[sighs]
-Here.
-[grunts]
You don't want a bottle?
What's is it, Aaron?
How come you're making a grumpy face
like Grandpa Hilik?
I'm with you.
Oh, believe me, I wanna cry a lot.
You're a Jerusalemite.
You should be there, not here, huh?
Surrounded by all of these morons
and mosquitoes and…
[mosquito buzzing]
[grunts]
…nudists.
Aaron, what do we both like, huh?
-Oh, we like Beitar.
-[grunts]
Oh, look at that.
I mention Beitar, and you grin.
You're the perfect son.
[Pini laughing]
We like Beitar.
And the Machane Yehuda Market, huh?
Eating some rice and fasulia,
not Grandma Nitza's nasty shit. Yuck!
Don't you worry, honey.
We'll get out of here
before you even know it.
♪Oh, oh, oh, oh ♪
Oh, oh, oh ♪
You will never ♪
You will never, ever walk alone ♪
-[dialing number]
-[knock at door]
Yes?
Hey.
If you came looking for Rotem,
go to reception and ask Samir.
Uh, actually, I came to see you.
-Me?
-Yeah.
M… mind if I bother you a second?
Something small from the duty-free.
Chocolates.
I'm diabetic.
Ah.
Ah, I didn't know.
Rotem never said.
Maybe Rachel?
-[corrects pronunciation] Rachel.
-Rachel, yeah.
So… what do you want?
[sighs]
I'd like to do this properly.
Uh, in Barcelona,
I asked your daughter to marry me.
[intriguing music playing]
Thanks.
I could use it. [chuckles softly]
Uh… [sighs softly]
Mm.
She accepted your proposal.
-[music fades]
-Why do you need me?
I know what you think of me,
and I understand that completely.
But I need to explain something to you.
The whole thing with the fishing lots,
I promised my partner that…
I gave him my word
I wouldn't speak about it
until he talked to his wife about it.
I didn't mean to lie to everyone
at dinner on Sabbath.
It's not my style. I'm not the kind of man
who makes things up.
And also…
about the whole court case
and arson thing and all,
I had this medical issue last year,
and it made me kinda crazy.
But once I realized what I'd done,
I confessed to it.
And now I'm paying for it.
I need you to know it won't happen again.
It's all done.
And Rotem…
[sighs]
I love her.
Really, I, um…
I'd do anything for her.
I will never hurt her.
[inhales deeply]
What shall be, shall be ♪
-What song are you singing?
-A sharp pin in his hand ♪
It's your father's song.
So listen, both Aaron and I
were just talking.
Actually, he did most of the talking,
and I listened, and…
We don't want you to get a job
in the moshav.
We'd like to return to Jerusalem.
That's what Matan was telling you?
Did he actually give you a reason?
He feels like an outcast.
Mm, being untrue to his soul.
So why don't you tell him
the story of the lion?
It's also the symbol of Jerusalem,
isn't it? I think he'll love it.
Will you remind me of that story?
The lion, when he was in Africa,
he was a king.
Everyone respected him,
because he was a lion.
Then came a day he was caught
and taken to some other continent.
He was put in a zoo.
At the start, depression set in.
Hmm, sounds about right.
Up until he let out his first roar.
It reminded everyone that no matter
where you are in the world,
a lion will always be a lion.
He doesn't need to change his nature
just because he got moved
to some other place.
Doesn't apply to me at all.
That's a pretty bad story.
Since we came to the moshav,
you've lost your roar.
You're always trying to escape,
instead of letting out a roar
that says, "I've arrived."
And it's perfectly okay
if we eventually decide to return,
but you should at least give this
a real chance.
To be fair. To me as well as to yourself.
All right, fine.
But in August, we're in Jerusalem.
[groans]
[intriguing music playing]
FISH KEBAB
[Nisso] This is stupid.
We're still driving the mullet truck.
I'm saving money. Did you want me
to spend more money on a new logo?
Besides, we already have a logo,
and I think
Mullet Kebab as a concept is perfect.
Think about it. Everybody else is
making hotdogs, grilled cheese.
I really believe in this pita thing.
We could expand into a chain.
Why don't we wait and see
if this is a disaster
before you go ahead and start expanding?
-Where are you headed?
-Down south.
What for?
Tell me,
where do you see people gathering?
Don't people gather everywhere?
Yarkon Park isn't good enough for you?
[scoffs]
Yarkon Park…
There are 60 other food trucks
parked there.
Everyone's been thinking like you.
I say, let's think outside the box.
So we're in a box now?
The "outside" of the box.
So where's a lot of hungry people?
Africa?
Sure. But Africa is far away.
Where else?
[groans] Give me a break.
What is this, a fucking quiz?
An army base.
Down south,
there's so many training camps.
Thousands of soldiers are there for weeks
with no good food to buy.
All week long they eat… shit on a shingle.
You bring them fish kebab in a pita,
put a beer in their hand,
then you're like a magician.
-Man, you got me missing the reserves.
-Right?
[woman on phone] Dad's memorial
was last week. You didn't even call.
-[uneasy music playing]
-Mom is close to the edge.
She's going crazy.
You have to talk to her.
Don't you worry about it, sweetie.
Tell that to our mother.
I'm sorting it out. With a little luck,
I'll get there for Passover.
No, don't just promise those things to me.
[sighs] I'm telling you,
but don't tell Mom.
I don't want her hoping.
How's it going with the thing, the, uh…
Uh, what's it called? The, um… the clay?
It's ceramics. You always ask,
and I give you the same answer.
I still can't believe it.
It's crazy
how my sister turned into a great artist.
It's going well.
And that's all you've been doing, right?
No more nonsense?
Of course.
You wouldn't believe
the market for clay bongs.
Hey, stop talking shit.
[chuckles softly]
Your brother?
Shiko's there?
Here.
[Shiko sighs] What's up?
Well? They show?
Nope.
Motherfuckers.
You know, you're pretty funny.
You actually think these idiots
would willingly go to Elharizi?
They played you, man.
Oh, they did, huh?
Ah, fine, then. You got the address?
I do. Just say the word.
Do I need to tell you what to do?
You already know.
Give them an incentive.
Have them crawl to him like dogs.
I'm on it.
[sighs deeply]
Okay.
[call disconnects]
[music swells]
[tense music stab]
[music fades]
[laid-back music playing]
Nice Roma tomatoes.
Where'd you get them from?
Stay on topic. What'd you do with the guy?
Nothing big. I talked to the man.
Yeah, but when you say "talked,"
did you go to him and use a firm tone?
"Buddy, that's the last time
you kiss my wife"?
Like that?
I talked to him non-verbally.
Ah, you, like, mimed it?
You built a wall like this?
Said, "No trespassing."
"I present an oar. Row away!"
You're a dick, you know that?
I headbutted him right in the nose.
Short but sweet, you know?
He got the message.
Yo, are you crazy?
You shouldn't moshav where you eat.
Not my fault. If I had known,
I'd have done it a long time ago
and for no good reason.
You know, a lion is still a lion,
even after he's been taken out of Africa.
She didn't remember
who taught her that fable. It was me.
Mullet Kebab? For real?
You boys also have fish cakes?
-You want some?
-Sure.
-You got it. It's on me.
-Let's do this.
Since you're the first customer,
you don't pay.
I thought it's because he's a soldier.
What's that got to do with anything?
All of them are. Wanna volunteer?
No, I'll pay.
Hold on.
This is to stop you
from getting dehydrated in this heat.
For sure.
-Seriously? We're not allowed.
-It's okay, you're a reservist. Have one.
You serious, "not allowed"?
What, someone's waiting at the base camp
for you with a breathalyzer?
[Pini and Nisso laughing]
Listen, bro, I'm making you a pita…
with everything.
This is what the king gave the queen,
and she said "I want some more,"
and he explained,
"There's nothing left. All gone".
Enjoy, dude.
-[soldier] Mm.
-[laid-back music playing]
How is it?
Mmm!
Huh? [chuckles]
[indistinct chatter]
[Nisso] You ordered two?
-[soldier 1] I'll take two.
-All right, two, okay.
Same for you? This is yours. All right.
Here, yours is almost ready. Wait for her.
Don't start eating yet.
Don't eat before she gets hers.
-And for you?
-[soldier 2] One with everything.
One. A beer too. Okay, perfect.
Hold on.
Careful with those beers.
Don't let the master sergeant see those.
You finally see what I'm talking about?
Do you?
-Enjoy.
-[soldier 1] Thank you.
-"Yarkon Park," he says.
-One and a beer.
I'll make four of these trucks.
We'll have a chain, you hear me?
You'll have Rotem's dad signing a prenup.
It's not the money for him.
He just, uh, needs time, you know.
Give him time, then.
We're an acquired taste.
Just like licorice.
Hey, you reminded me. Good thing.
Everybody! I want to make sure
that last bite of fish goes down easy,
so arak shots on us!
-[soldiers cheering]
-All right!
-I'm coming out.
-What do you want?
Think we've only got about 20 minutes
before we gotta head back to base.
Let's go, guys. Cheers!
Enjoy this shot with your last bite.
[intriguing music playing]
[dialing number]
Motherfuckers.
[suspenseful music playing]
Set the beer down.
You can't count like that. Set it down.
-Hold on. You mixed up my count.
-Amazing, 200 shekel notes.
-[tense music playing]
-Counting your cash, you motherfuckers?
Fucking asshole!
What am I doing?
I've been working this spot for years!
[Pini] Does your mom own
the fucking desert?
Get out of my spot! Fuck you guys!
-[vehicle approaching]
-You bastards!
Get off of me! Get off of me, you asshole!
Let go of me!
-Dad!
-[food truck vendor] Get those assholes!
-[man 1] Get those guys!
-[vendor's son] Get over here, bitches!
Dad!
[engine starting]
Catch them! Catch them!
Fuck them up, those motherfuckers!
[man 1] Don't ever let me
catch you here again or else!
[music fades]
[Pini] If we drive another quarter mile
to the right, we'll be at Mount Keren.
[Nisso] Why do you think that?
First off, I can see it on the map.
You see the hill?
-Um, no.
-Oh.
-Secondly, I recognize this place.
-Mm. Yeah?
If I ever went missing with you,
I'd still be missing.
Let's just leave. We did enough for today.
Come on, let's go home. Enough already.
Are you serious right now?
What's with you? Are you nuts?
So many brave soldiers
haven't eaten at all yet.
It's dinnertime soon.
Dinner sells twice as much as lunch.
Yeah, but if we do dinner,
then we've gotta clean everything,
and then I'm gonna need a ride home,
then after that,
you won't get back until after midnight.
Fine. There's nothing wrong with that.
We're working, not playing games.
I'll just call Alma now
and explain that I'll be late.
Oh.
There's no signal. You got a signal?
Nope.
No, I don't either.
Dammit.
I wanted to tell Rotem I'd be late too.
-[intriguing music playing]
-Hold on, I should get a bar in a sec.
Goddammit.
[Nisso sighs]
Hmm…
What are you doing, you idiot?
You think standing eight feet higher
will make any difference
in signal strength?
[sighs]
-[cell phone beeping]
-[laughs]
I just got a text. Fucking eat it.
Really?
Ah, shit.
What is it?
It's from Bakshi.
What's he say?
Um, "Where are you, you sons of bitches?
I know you didn't go to Elharizi."
Just block sender.
Fuck that douchebag piece of trash.
He can kiss my ass.
Sending me threats from another continent,
as if he can do anything there.
[dreamy music playing]
Pini!
[groans]
Motherfucker!
Mount Keren, really?!
Let's get the fuck outta here!
[jazz song playing]
[Pini] Fuck, let's go!
[song continues]
[song continues]
-[song fades]
-Fucking tire!
[Nisso] You drove like an idiot.
[Pini] Because of you.
"You have to zigzag"?
What does zigzagging do? Why zigzag?
You were in a training area.
No one was targeting you.
The shots were random.
Zigzagging increased our chance
of getting a missile to the head.
What about you?
You steered us into a war game.
[Pini sighs]
Well, how are we getting
the truck out of here now?
We need to find a tow truck.
A tow truck.
[tuts]
Dammit.
Good luck.
If you get a signal, put in a pizza order.
You're hungry? Eat a fish pita.
Yuck.
I'll die from the mercury
if I eat one more.
All right, let's walk
until we get a signal.
All I dreamed of
was a bar in the market.
A bar in the market!
-[Nisso] Fine. Just shut up already.
-Fuck you.
[mysterious music playing]
[Nisso] I think if we go up the mountain,
we'll get a better view.
[Pini] You really wanna climb this thing,
you idiot?
-[animal grunting]
-[music fades]
-Hmm?
-[animal grunting]
What's that? Did you hear it?
[animal growling]
It's a horny owl.
-What's a horny owl?
-[animal groaning]
A owl that's active at night.
Like a barn owl.
[animal grunting]
What's a barn owl?
That's no bird.
Let's just hope it's not a puma.
A puma? What's a puma?
I'd guess a lizard or some kind of rodent.
[animal growling loudly]
That's a big lizard.
It'll swallow you in one bite.
I got a bad feeling about this…
[camel grunts]
[Pini chuckles]
-A camel.
-[quirky music playing]
There's the tow truck.
Maybe we can pay him to take
two dumb shits back to civilization.
I'm sure his owner must be close.
He'll help us.
Why are you sitting on him?
You jealous, "Sancho Pancho"?
Wanna switch?
Poor thing. He thought
he managed to escape to freedom,
and you… you sit your fat ass on him,
breaking his back.
So then we'll give him a fish pita.
Hey, bro, is he a dolphin?
He's a camel. He doesn't eat fish.
You're a camel whisperer?
He's a cruise ship of the desert.
He can live for five days
on murky water alone.
-Yes!
-What?
A fence.
Hmm. Oh yeah.
-[Nisso] What do you think it's for?
-I guess it's a base.
Great. Let's get to the gate post,
you know.
There'll be someone there with a phone.
We'll call for help or maybe get a signal.
-[Pini] Yeah, good idea.
-Yeah.
[Pini] Looks like an air force base.
[Nisso] Why would the air force
wanna bomb our mullet wagon?
It's an army corps or infantry.
The map will be able to tell us
exactly what it is.
You and your fucking map.
Show me north on there. Go ahead.
I have to look at the map
to tell you which direction is north?
You haven't been right yet.
Look for the North Star.
You'll find the north.
Yeah? Where's north, Galileo?
Which little light is north?
The North Star is
the one that's the brightest.
I see 15 bright stars.
Which one's the North one?
-There we go.
-[both yell in fright]
[music fades]
[Shiko] How do I put pressure on them?
It's like the ground swallowed them up.
Shit! Assholes. [tuts]
Got any ideas? Hunch? Anything?
[tense music playing]
I don't know. Be creative.
[Shiko] All right. I'll see what I can do.
[music fades]
[coughing]
[coughing]
[groans] Fuck!
[intriguing music playing]
[groans, coughing]
Whoa.
What is this shit?
Pini?
[coughs]
Pini? You all right?
Bro, I think I fell on something.
What something?
Hold on. Hold on a sec. Here, catch!
Don't pick anything up!
Don't touch anything!
Leave it alone! Don't--
[grunts, groans]
Why'd you throw it at me?!
I wasn't even ready! What's with you?
[Pini coughing]
Dumbass.
[music fades]
-[Pini] Wow.
-[groans]
[Pini] Whoo…
That's some sinkhole, bro.
We're lucky we didn't end up in China.
It's not a sinkhole, man.
It's a tunnel, you understand?
I don't get why anyone would dig a tunnel
under an army base fence.
Think the soldiers dug it so they could
get some action on Saturday nights?
-[call to prayer]
-[intriguing music playing]
This isn't for a base.
Oh dear God.
This fence is a border.
[uneasy music playing]
I hope there's no mines in the sand here.
Whoa, watch it.
Careful. Get away from the bags.
You tell me now?
After you threw them at me?
Let's go.
Aren't you even a little curious
about what's in the bags?
No, I'm not fucking curious.
Look, we're at a border.
This is dangerous! We could be killed.
Wait, hold on a sec, Nisso.
Listen, there can't be
any explosives inside.
I threw the bag right at you, man.
If there were explosives,
it would blow up and take your head off.
Thanks. Good safety tip.
What are you doing, idiot?!
Trying to blow me up?!
Give me some warning!
You're gonna detonate it
while I'm standing right here!
-Well, it didn't blow up.
-That's great!
Please stop touching it. Shit. Fuck
[suspenseful music playing]
Oh man. Can you smell that?
What is it?
-Hashish.
-Hashish?
You say that like it's chocolate.
This belongs to someone.
Of course it does.
It belongs to us.
[music fades]
-There's this law.
-[intriguing music playing]
I find it, and then it belongs to me.
That's a law?
I never heard of that.
That kind of law gets you murdered.
Okay, listen to me.
[music fades]
There must be,
like, 60 pounds of hash here.
It'd be wasted.
-No. It wouldn't.
-Uh…
This is our lives.
I'm getting out of here.
Hold on. Wait a sec, Nisso.
Listen, I can't walk anymore.
I, uh… I, uh… I inhaled so much dust
that my lungs feel like sandpaper.
I can't breathe anymore. I can't walk.
And you saw, it's dangerous here,
with… with the border and…
lizards and… random camels.
You wanna stay here?
Well, yeah, let's wait till morning.
And then if nobody's here to get the bags,
you know, it's…
Then it's finders keepers.
You know what the Bible says.
"You came, you found, you took."
-"You got rich." [chuckles]
-[Nisso sighs]
Hmm.
I don't know.
Uh…
Listen, we can't go anywhere now.
It's pitch black.
Hmm.
Hey, you don't, like,
have any rolling papers?
Maybe… unroll a cigarette?
Yeah. Let's, uh…
[intriguing music playing]
[sniffs] Hey bro, look at this.
[Nisso] Wow.
[sniffs] Mmm. Wow.
-Right?
-Wow.
It's so light.
Yeah, man.
Come on, fire it up.
Wow.
Pass it, pass it.
And?
-Great chocolate, huh?
-Wow.
A little weak, right?
-Keep smoking.
-[Nisso chuckles]
[hoarsely] It's easy.
Wha…
[music fades]
[tense music playing]
[inaudible dialogue]
[music fades]
[uneasy music playing]
Let me talk, all right?
Why not?
-[suspenseful music playing]
-[indistinct chatter]
How exactly do we find this guy?
[woman] Hold on.
Did you speak with Arik about financing?
[woman chuckles]
Okay. I understand. I do. I got it. Yeah.
That's fine. Installments work.
If there's something we're good at,
it's accommodating our customers.
Perfect. Think it over and let me know.
Bye.
-Hello.
-Hello.
Um, we were told to see Zion.
Hey. Is it the 1st?
Aren't there any normal customers?
Everyone's all "Zion, Zion."
-What can I say?
-You're both here for Zion?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, you can wait in that room.
Is he expecting you?
Or are you both here
doing a "whenever he's available"?
Oh, uh, if he's busy, we can go.
It's not--
No, no. When he's available.
Okay. Go and sit. Over there.
[inaudible speech]
It'll be okay.
-Yeah?
-Mm-hmm.
What makes you think like that?
[Nisso exhales deeply]
It's a business.
It's all about him wanting your money.
You've got tons of cash,
so everything's cool.
[cell phone beeping]
[groans]
It's Shabi with the food truck.
He says it's ready,
and we should go get it.
Let's see if we make it out of here
in one piece.
Then we'll consider the food truck.
[sighs]
If you think positive, it'll go well.
Hmm.
-Mahatma Gandhi.
-Hmm.
-Take the kids. Drive to your mother's.
-[uneasy music playing]
Just forget school.
[breathing anxiously]
If I don't call you back in three days,
go.
If you have any problems,
you speak to Tzuka, no one else.
Don't tell my mom anything.
She has a weak heart.
Don't cry now. Stop it.
I need you strong.
Sophia, tell the kids that--
[gasps]
[Zion] Okay, Zaza. Let's go.
Zion, a favor. Talk with the boss.
T, t, t, t, t, tell him to, uh…
Um, I'm… I…
-Zaza.
-I… I came of my own free will, yeah?
--Zaza, enough. Zaza.
-I have three beautiful children. Please…
-I beg…
-Stop it, Zaza. Stop whining already.
-My mother…
-You know how this goes.
-No, come on.
-You're just pissing me off.
-Be a man.
-Oh, please, it can all be fixed, Zion.
-What are you here for? Are you with him?
-[Zaza] Oh, please.
No, no, no, no. No. Oh, no. We're later.
-What for?
-[Zaza whimpering]
She said we should wait here for you.
I've seen you somewhere?
Hmm? [chuckles]
Oh, it's just my face. It's ordinary.
-Yeah, uh, ordinary stupid face.
-Thanks.
Wait here, all right?
-I'm begging you, Zion.
-[keypad beeping]
-Do me a favor, Zion.
-Quiet.
-Talk to the boss, come on! Talk to him!
-Shut up, already!
[Nisso sighs]
Still calm?
We might as well get it done
since we're here.
Where'd he recognize you from?
Uh, well, he was at Bakshi's junkyard.
[Pini exhales sharply]
I've gotta take a leak.
[Nisso exhales shakily]
Yeah, me too.
Let's hit the head before he's back.
We better go now,
so we don't piss ourselves
in the chair in front of him.
Over there.
[Nisso sighs]
Do you know where it is,
or are we just walking around blind?
Yeah, I piss here the 1st of every month.
-[distant thud]
-[man 1 screams]
-[distant thud]
-[man 1 groans]
-[distant thud]
-[man 1 groans]
-[distant thud]
-[man 1 groans]
[man 2] You like that?
-[distant thud]
-[man 1 groans]
-[punch connects]
-[man 2] Motherfucker!
-[punch connects]
-[man 1 groans]
-[punch connects]
-[man 1 screams]
-[man 2 grunts angrily] Mother… fucker!
-[menacing music playing]
Break that son of a bitch.
All right.
-[Zaza groaning]
-Batter up!
-Motherfucker!
-[Zaza groaning]
[Zaza groaning]
[music fades]
[uneasy music playing]
Wait, wait. Wait a second, will you?
That Zion dude already saw us.
He forgot about you the first time,
he'll forget again for the second time.
Didn't you get what happens to people
who wait on that specific line?
Get a bat to their heads.
Why would he take a bat to you?
You're coming to him of your own volition.
You're saying,
"It was a mistake. I'll return your cash."
And why would I volunteer to do that?
Does it make any sense?
What am I, a chicken sacrificing myself
for Yom Kippur?
Hey, Pini.
These guys aren't gonna quit.
Listen to me.
You… you're just postponing.
He had someone, and he's been killed.
Oh, but he doesn't know that.
That biker who said,
"Bakshi sends his regards,"
was his man. Get it?
He's counting on him.
That bald bastard in there
wants to bury us under a parking space.
You're right.
Holy fuck.
Well, his man's already dead, right?
That son of a bitch. Fuck it!
[Pini] Exactly.
Very nice.
[music swells to crescendo]
[opening theme music playing]
BROS
[music fades]
Why don't you sit in the sun a bit?
Maybe you'll get
some of that Maimon family complexion.
[sighs]
-Here.
-[grunts]
You don't want a bottle?
What's is it, Aaron?
How come you're making a grumpy face
like Grandpa Hilik?
I'm with you.
Oh, believe me, I wanna cry a lot.
You're a Jerusalemite.
You should be there, not here, huh?
Surrounded by all of these morons
and mosquitoes and…
[mosquito buzzing]
[grunts]
…nudists.
Aaron, what do we both like, huh?
-Oh, we like Beitar.
-[grunts]
Oh, look at that.
I mention Beitar, and you grin.
You're the perfect son.
[Pini laughing]
We like Beitar.
And the Machane Yehuda Market, huh?
Eating some rice and fasulia,
not Grandma Nitza's nasty shit. Yuck!
Don't you worry, honey.
We'll get out of here
before you even know it.
♪Oh, oh, oh, oh ♪
Oh, oh, oh ♪
You will never ♪
You will never, ever walk alone ♪
-[dialing number]
-[knock at door]
Yes?
Hey.
If you came looking for Rotem,
go to reception and ask Samir.
Uh, actually, I came to see you.
-Me?
-Yeah.
M… mind if I bother you a second?
Something small from the duty-free.
Chocolates.
I'm diabetic.
Ah.
Ah, I didn't know.
Rotem never said.
Maybe Rachel?
-[corrects pronunciation] Rachel.
-Rachel, yeah.
So… what do you want?
[sighs]
I'd like to do this properly.
Uh, in Barcelona,
I asked your daughter to marry me.
[intriguing music playing]
Thanks.
I could use it. [chuckles softly]
Uh… [sighs softly]
Mm.
She accepted your proposal.
-[music fades]
-Why do you need me?
I know what you think of me,
and I understand that completely.
But I need to explain something to you.
The whole thing with the fishing lots,
I promised my partner that…
I gave him my word
I wouldn't speak about it
until he talked to his wife about it.
I didn't mean to lie to everyone
at dinner on Sabbath.
It's not my style. I'm not the kind of man
who makes things up.
And also…
about the whole court case
and arson thing and all,
I had this medical issue last year,
and it made me kinda crazy.
But once I realized what I'd done,
I confessed to it.
And now I'm paying for it.
I need you to know it won't happen again.
It's all done.
And Rotem…
[sighs]
I love her.
Really, I, um…
I'd do anything for her.
I will never hurt her.
[inhales deeply]
What shall be, shall be ♪
-What song are you singing?
-A sharp pin in his hand ♪
It's your father's song.
So listen, both Aaron and I
were just talking.
Actually, he did most of the talking,
and I listened, and…
We don't want you to get a job
in the moshav.
We'd like to return to Jerusalem.
That's what Matan was telling you?
Did he actually give you a reason?
He feels like an outcast.
Mm, being untrue to his soul.
So why don't you tell him
the story of the lion?
It's also the symbol of Jerusalem,
isn't it? I think he'll love it.
Will you remind me of that story?
The lion, when he was in Africa,
he was a king.
Everyone respected him,
because he was a lion.
Then came a day he was caught
and taken to some other continent.
He was put in a zoo.
At the start, depression set in.
Hmm, sounds about right.
Up until he let out his first roar.
It reminded everyone that no matter
where you are in the world,
a lion will always be a lion.
He doesn't need to change his nature
just because he got moved
to some other place.
Doesn't apply to me at all.
That's a pretty bad story.
Since we came to the moshav,
you've lost your roar.
You're always trying to escape,
instead of letting out a roar
that says, "I've arrived."
And it's perfectly okay
if we eventually decide to return,
but you should at least give this
a real chance.
To be fair. To me as well as to yourself.
All right, fine.
But in August, we're in Jerusalem.
[groans]
[intriguing music playing]
FISH KEBAB
[Nisso] This is stupid.
We're still driving the mullet truck.
I'm saving money. Did you want me
to spend more money on a new logo?
Besides, we already have a logo,
and I think
Mullet Kebab as a concept is perfect.
Think about it. Everybody else is
making hotdogs, grilled cheese.
I really believe in this pita thing.
We could expand into a chain.
Why don't we wait and see
if this is a disaster
before you go ahead and start expanding?
-Where are you headed?
-Down south.
What for?
Tell me,
where do you see people gathering?
Don't people gather everywhere?
Yarkon Park isn't good enough for you?
[scoffs]
Yarkon Park…
There are 60 other food trucks
parked there.
Everyone's been thinking like you.
I say, let's think outside the box.
So we're in a box now?
The "outside" of the box.
So where's a lot of hungry people?
Africa?
Sure. But Africa is far away.
Where else?
[groans] Give me a break.
What is this, a fucking quiz?
An army base.
Down south,
there's so many training camps.
Thousands of soldiers are there for weeks
with no good food to buy.
All week long they eat… shit on a shingle.
You bring them fish kebab in a pita,
put a beer in their hand,
then you're like a magician.
-Man, you got me missing the reserves.
-Right?
[woman on phone] Dad's memorial
was last week. You didn't even call.
-[uneasy music playing]
-Mom is close to the edge.
She's going crazy.
You have to talk to her.
Don't you worry about it, sweetie.
Tell that to our mother.
I'm sorting it out. With a little luck,
I'll get there for Passover.
No, don't just promise those things to me.
[sighs] I'm telling you,
but don't tell Mom.
I don't want her hoping.
How's it going with the thing, the, uh…
Uh, what's it called? The, um… the clay?
It's ceramics. You always ask,
and I give you the same answer.
I still can't believe it.
It's crazy
how my sister turned into a great artist.
It's going well.
And that's all you've been doing, right?
No more nonsense?
Of course.
You wouldn't believe
the market for clay bongs.
Hey, stop talking shit.
[chuckles softly]
Your brother?
Shiko's there?
Here.
[Shiko sighs] What's up?
Well? They show?
Nope.
Motherfuckers.
You know, you're pretty funny.
You actually think these idiots
would willingly go to Elharizi?
They played you, man.
Oh, they did, huh?
Ah, fine, then. You got the address?
I do. Just say the word.
Do I need to tell you what to do?
You already know.
Give them an incentive.
Have them crawl to him like dogs.
I'm on it.
[sighs deeply]
Okay.
[call disconnects]
[music swells]
[tense music stab]
[music fades]
[laid-back music playing]
Nice Roma tomatoes.
Where'd you get them from?
Stay on topic. What'd you do with the guy?
Nothing big. I talked to the man.
Yeah, but when you say "talked,"
did you go to him and use a firm tone?
"Buddy, that's the last time
you kiss my wife"?
Like that?
I talked to him non-verbally.
Ah, you, like, mimed it?
You built a wall like this?
Said, "No trespassing."
"I present an oar. Row away!"
You're a dick, you know that?
I headbutted him right in the nose.
Short but sweet, you know?
He got the message.
Yo, are you crazy?
You shouldn't moshav where you eat.
Not my fault. If I had known,
I'd have done it a long time ago
and for no good reason.
You know, a lion is still a lion,
even after he's been taken out of Africa.
She didn't remember
who taught her that fable. It was me.
Mullet Kebab? For real?
You boys also have fish cakes?
-You want some?
-Sure.
-You got it. It's on me.
-Let's do this.
Since you're the first customer,
you don't pay.
I thought it's because he's a soldier.
What's that got to do with anything?
All of them are. Wanna volunteer?
No, I'll pay.
Hold on.
This is to stop you
from getting dehydrated in this heat.
For sure.
-Seriously? We're not allowed.
-It's okay, you're a reservist. Have one.
You serious, "not allowed"?
What, someone's waiting at the base camp
for you with a breathalyzer?
[Pini and Nisso laughing]
Listen, bro, I'm making you a pita…
with everything.
This is what the king gave the queen,
and she said "I want some more,"
and he explained,
"There's nothing left. All gone".
Enjoy, dude.
-[soldier] Mm.
-[laid-back music playing]
How is it?
Mmm!
Huh? [chuckles]
[indistinct chatter]
[Nisso] You ordered two?
-[soldier 1] I'll take two.
-All right, two, okay.
Same for you? This is yours. All right.
Here, yours is almost ready. Wait for her.
Don't start eating yet.
Don't eat before she gets hers.
-And for you?
-[soldier 2] One with everything.
One. A beer too. Okay, perfect.
Hold on.
Careful with those beers.
Don't let the master sergeant see those.
You finally see what I'm talking about?
Do you?
-Enjoy.
-[soldier 1] Thank you.
-"Yarkon Park," he says.
-One and a beer.
I'll make four of these trucks.
We'll have a chain, you hear me?
You'll have Rotem's dad signing a prenup.
It's not the money for him.
He just, uh, needs time, you know.
Give him time, then.
We're an acquired taste.
Just like licorice.
Hey, you reminded me. Good thing.
Everybody! I want to make sure
that last bite of fish goes down easy,
so arak shots on us!
-[soldiers cheering]
-All right!
-I'm coming out.
-What do you want?
Think we've only got about 20 minutes
before we gotta head back to base.
Let's go, guys. Cheers!
Enjoy this shot with your last bite.
[intriguing music playing]
[dialing number]
Motherfuckers.
[suspenseful music playing]
Set the beer down.
You can't count like that. Set it down.
-Hold on. You mixed up my count.
-Amazing, 200 shekel notes.
-[tense music playing]
-Counting your cash, you motherfuckers?
Fucking asshole!
What am I doing?
I've been working this spot for years!
[Pini] Does your mom own
the fucking desert?
Get out of my spot! Fuck you guys!
-[vehicle approaching]
-You bastards!
Get off of me! Get off of me, you asshole!
Let go of me!
-Dad!
-[food truck vendor] Get those assholes!
-[man 1] Get those guys!
-[vendor's son] Get over here, bitches!
Dad!
[engine starting]
Catch them! Catch them!
Fuck them up, those motherfuckers!
[man 1] Don't ever let me
catch you here again or else!
[music fades]
[Pini] If we drive another quarter mile
to the right, we'll be at Mount Keren.
[Nisso] Why do you think that?
First off, I can see it on the map.
You see the hill?
-Um, no.
-Oh.
-Secondly, I recognize this place.
-Mm. Yeah?
If I ever went missing with you,
I'd still be missing.
Let's just leave. We did enough for today.
Come on, let's go home. Enough already.
Are you serious right now?
What's with you? Are you nuts?
So many brave soldiers
haven't eaten at all yet.
It's dinnertime soon.
Dinner sells twice as much as lunch.
Yeah, but if we do dinner,
then we've gotta clean everything,
and then I'm gonna need a ride home,
then after that,
you won't get back until after midnight.
Fine. There's nothing wrong with that.
We're working, not playing games.
I'll just call Alma now
and explain that I'll be late.
Oh.
There's no signal. You got a signal?
Nope.
No, I don't either.
Dammit.
I wanted to tell Rotem I'd be late too.
-[intriguing music playing]
-Hold on, I should get a bar in a sec.
Goddammit.
[Nisso sighs]
Hmm…
What are you doing, you idiot?
You think standing eight feet higher
will make any difference
in signal strength?
[sighs]
-[cell phone beeping]
-[laughs]
I just got a text. Fucking eat it.
Really?
Ah, shit.
What is it?
It's from Bakshi.
What's he say?
Um, "Where are you, you sons of bitches?
I know you didn't go to Elharizi."
Just block sender.
Fuck that douchebag piece of trash.
He can kiss my ass.
Sending me threats from another continent,
as if he can do anything there.
[dreamy music playing]
Pini!
[groans]
Motherfucker!
Mount Keren, really?!
Let's get the fuck outta here!
[jazz song playing]
[Pini] Fuck, let's go!
[song continues]
[song continues]
-[song fades]
-Fucking tire!
[Nisso] You drove like an idiot.
[Pini] Because of you.
"You have to zigzag"?
What does zigzagging do? Why zigzag?
You were in a training area.
No one was targeting you.
The shots were random.
Zigzagging increased our chance
of getting a missile to the head.
What about you?
You steered us into a war game.
[Pini sighs]
Well, how are we getting
the truck out of here now?
We need to find a tow truck.
A tow truck.
[tuts]
Dammit.
Good luck.
If you get a signal, put in a pizza order.
You're hungry? Eat a fish pita.
Yuck.
I'll die from the mercury
if I eat one more.
All right, let's walk
until we get a signal.
All I dreamed of
was a bar in the market.
A bar in the market!
-[Nisso] Fine. Just shut up already.
-Fuck you.
[mysterious music playing]
[Nisso] I think if we go up the mountain,
we'll get a better view.
[Pini] You really wanna climb this thing,
you idiot?
-[animal grunting]
-[music fades]
-Hmm?
-[animal grunting]
What's that? Did you hear it?
[animal growling]
It's a horny owl.
-What's a horny owl?
-[animal groaning]
A owl that's active at night.
Like a barn owl.
[animal grunting]
What's a barn owl?
That's no bird.
Let's just hope it's not a puma.
A puma? What's a puma?
I'd guess a lizard or some kind of rodent.
[animal growling loudly]
That's a big lizard.
It'll swallow you in one bite.
I got a bad feeling about this…
[camel grunts]
[Pini chuckles]
-A camel.
-[quirky music playing]
There's the tow truck.
Maybe we can pay him to take
two dumb shits back to civilization.
I'm sure his owner must be close.
He'll help us.
Why are you sitting on him?
You jealous, "Sancho Pancho"?
Wanna switch?
Poor thing. He thought
he managed to escape to freedom,
and you… you sit your fat ass on him,
breaking his back.
So then we'll give him a fish pita.
Hey, bro, is he a dolphin?
He's a camel. He doesn't eat fish.
You're a camel whisperer?
He's a cruise ship of the desert.
He can live for five days
on murky water alone.
-Yes!
-What?
A fence.
Hmm. Oh yeah.
-[Nisso] What do you think it's for?
-I guess it's a base.
Great. Let's get to the gate post,
you know.
There'll be someone there with a phone.
We'll call for help or maybe get a signal.
-[Pini] Yeah, good idea.
-Yeah.
[Pini] Looks like an air force base.
[Nisso] Why would the air force
wanna bomb our mullet wagon?
It's an army corps or infantry.
The map will be able to tell us
exactly what it is.
You and your fucking map.
Show me north on there. Go ahead.
I have to look at the map
to tell you which direction is north?
You haven't been right yet.
Look for the North Star.
You'll find the north.
Yeah? Where's north, Galileo?
Which little light is north?
The North Star is
the one that's the brightest.
I see 15 bright stars.
Which one's the North one?
-There we go.
-[both yell in fright]
[music fades]
[Shiko] How do I put pressure on them?
It's like the ground swallowed them up.
Shit! Assholes. [tuts]
Got any ideas? Hunch? Anything?
[tense music playing]
I don't know. Be creative.
[Shiko] All right. I'll see what I can do.
[music fades]
[coughing]
[coughing]
[groans] Fuck!
[intriguing music playing]
[groans, coughing]
Whoa.
What is this shit?
Pini?
[coughs]
Pini? You all right?
Bro, I think I fell on something.
What something?
Hold on. Hold on a sec. Here, catch!
Don't pick anything up!
Don't touch anything!
Leave it alone! Don't--
[grunts, groans]
Why'd you throw it at me?!
I wasn't even ready! What's with you?
[Pini coughing]
Dumbass.
[music fades]
-[Pini] Wow.
-[groans]
[Pini] Whoo…
That's some sinkhole, bro.
We're lucky we didn't end up in China.
It's not a sinkhole, man.
It's a tunnel, you understand?
I don't get why anyone would dig a tunnel
under an army base fence.
Think the soldiers dug it so they could
get some action on Saturday nights?
-[call to prayer]
-[intriguing music playing]
This isn't for a base.
Oh dear God.
This fence is a border.
[uneasy music playing]
I hope there's no mines in the sand here.
Whoa, watch it.
Careful. Get away from the bags.
You tell me now?
After you threw them at me?
Let's go.
Aren't you even a little curious
about what's in the bags?
No, I'm not fucking curious.
Look, we're at a border.
This is dangerous! We could be killed.
Wait, hold on a sec, Nisso.
Listen, there can't be
any explosives inside.
I threw the bag right at you, man.
If there were explosives,
it would blow up and take your head off.
Thanks. Good safety tip.
What are you doing, idiot?!
Trying to blow me up?!
Give me some warning!
You're gonna detonate it
while I'm standing right here!
-Well, it didn't blow up.
-That's great!
Please stop touching it. Shit. Fuck
[suspenseful music playing]
Oh man. Can you smell that?
What is it?
-Hashish.
-Hashish?
You say that like it's chocolate.
This belongs to someone.
Of course it does.
It belongs to us.
[music fades]
-There's this law.
-[intriguing music playing]
I find it, and then it belongs to me.
That's a law?
I never heard of that.
That kind of law gets you murdered.
Okay, listen to me.
[music fades]
There must be,
like, 60 pounds of hash here.
It'd be wasted.
-No. It wouldn't.
-Uh…
This is our lives.
I'm getting out of here.
Hold on. Wait a sec, Nisso.
Listen, I can't walk anymore.
I, uh… I, uh… I inhaled so much dust
that my lungs feel like sandpaper.
I can't breathe anymore. I can't walk.
And you saw, it's dangerous here,
with… with the border and…
lizards and… random camels.
You wanna stay here?
Well, yeah, let's wait till morning.
And then if nobody's here to get the bags,
you know, it's…
Then it's finders keepers.
You know what the Bible says.
"You came, you found, you took."
-"You got rich." [chuckles]
-[Nisso sighs]
Hmm.
I don't know.
Uh…
Listen, we can't go anywhere now.
It's pitch black.
Hmm.
Hey, you don't, like,
have any rolling papers?
Maybe… unroll a cigarette?
Yeah. Let's, uh…
[intriguing music playing]
[sniffs] Hey bro, look at this.
[Nisso] Wow.
[sniffs] Mmm. Wow.
-Right?
-Wow.
It's so light.
Yeah, man.
Come on, fire it up.
Wow.
Pass it, pass it.
And?
-Great chocolate, huh?
-Wow.
