Thank you.

Cool.

Pushing the boat out a bit, aren't we?

Yeah, we are.

But don't get used to it. We're showing the flag.

Not living it up.

The minute I cut this deal, we're out of here.

What's wrong with Alice?

Nothing's wrong.

Look, babies don't cry for no reason.

Babies need a reason to cry?

Give her to me.

Trying to tell you something, wasn't you? Yeah, but I only speak English,

I?

Come on, my dear.

Thought you'd be real dead, didn't you?

Right.

Now, remember, nice big hello for your mother.

Frank?

Do you know how long I've been standing by this phone? Have you the remotest

idea what I've been going through?

Well, it's nice to know you're missing me.

It's my child I'm missing.

Hey,

what happened to you? I thought you'd show up at the airport.

Where are you staying, Frank?

Is that Alice?

I can't believe you've done this.

Why don't you come out, huh? Just for a couple of days. It'll be a nice break

for you.

Stuff your squalid little deal.

You're going to regret this, Frank.

Oh, we're going to need a limo for a few days.

Limo, right.

Make it something special.

You mean something you can't afford?

Right. Just to make sure, make it one with a chauffeur.

So the chauffeur gets to have his own chauffeur? No, I get to get my own

chauffeur. You just get not to be it.

No, no, that's not right. Show me something else.

No, too small. I told you, more luxury, more legroom.

Ah, now we're getting somewhere.

What floor?

Ah, the penthouse.

You are English, right?

How did you guess?

Oh, I hear the accent.

You staying here?

Yeah.

You? Yeah. Few days.

Maybe more.

Irina. Irina Peltz. Really?

Max. Max Tavla.

Midday tomorrow. That'd be great.

See you then. Goodbye, Mr. Benari.

Do you find me an attractive bloke, Frank? Always known for secret passion

you, Max. I mean, attractive to birds.

What do you want, a fame certificate?

Yeah, well, my sex appeal has just gone international.

Just scored, haven't I?

Classy foreign piece.

Oh, yeah, and what about that frizzy -haired blonde you got warming back at

home? Angie?

Forget it. Irina makes her look like a badly rolled spliff.

Uncle Max is into quality.

Right, Alice?

You all comfortable, sir?

Yes, fine, thank you.

It's a nice car. Is it yours? One wheel belongs to me. One to my uncle in Amman,

other to my cousin in Beirut, and the rest to my three brothers in Bahrain.

Your family business.

Yes.

David Benary, I'm delighted you could come. Nice to meet you.

This is Sam Levinson, my winemaker.

Hi, Sam.

Hi.

I sent

your driver for some refreshment. Perhaps a little of the same for you

Calvary. Well, I'd like to have a look around first, if that's all right.

Sure, please.

The Benares have produced wine here since 1873.

Nice place.

This might be the last Benare to enjoy.

Got no children?

Oh, yes, but all want to work in the cities.

The land cannot meet their expectations.

Who can blame them?

Is that an estate?

Oh, yes.

Years ago, the English owner died without an heir, and my family bought it

the land.

He was a rich eccentric.

You know the type. Smoked some hash, meddled in some politics.

Shoot a few Turks, then write a book about it.

Very impressive establishment, Mr. Ben -Ari.

An impressive wine, too, I think.

Yes.

Yes, very marketable in the UK.

Very good news, Mr. Carver.

At the right price, of course.

And the right quantity.

What sort of quantity would the right quantity be?

The lot.

Or anything else wouldn't interest my customer.

I see.

Well, it is for sale, isn't it?

Possibly. I have not renewed any of last year's contracts, as yet.

Market a bit sticky, is it?

I've asked you our terms, Mr. Carver.

Yeah, I read them. Very amusing.

But since I'm buying the entire stock... I reckon that justifies a serious

discount. What did you have in mind?

20%. That's very harsh.

I don't think so, considering how much stock you're carrying.

What does it cost you here? $40 ,000, $50 ,000 a year in interest alone?

Mr. Carver, since you are the only serious buyer for my wine, I appear to

no other choice.

He's trying to tell you I'm here.

Blimey, Tessa.

Hello, Frank.

Had a nice day? Tessa, what are you doing here?

Couldn't bear to be parted from you, could I, darling?

No, well, I know that, of course, but... Frank, this is arrogance pushed too

far. Yeah, well, I think I'll just, um... Book yourself a room. What a good

idea. Oh, and Max, while you're about it, book one for Frank.

I'll have a beer.

Make that a brandy.

A large brandy.

And a beer.

Hello, Mark.

Oh, Irina.

Oh, we meet again, Mark. Yeah.

Fate, isn't it?

Yes.

I waited till the last minute, but you didn't show.

Ever stop to think I might have been delayed?

There might have been a traffic jam.

Well, what was I supposed to do, miss my plane? Of course not.

Your child's welfare, your wife's feelings are nothing compared to

plane. Look, I wouldn't have taken Alice if I didn't think I could look after

her. And I've got meetings here, Beth. I mean, I've got a deal to pull off. Oh,

I see. So your work takes precedence over mine.

Look, I am your husband.

I've got a family.

It's my responsibility to support it. Oh.

Please remind me to walk three steps behind you in the street.

Oh, you're always twisting my words.

They don't need twisting, Frank. They're well and truly mangled before they're

uttered.

You don't sound American.

Oh, I leave there, but before I'm Polish.

Oh, I thought I got a whiff of something Polish.

And you are a businessman, Max?

Me?

Oh, yes.

I sort of dabble in, you know, transport.

Oh, that English understatement.

How charming.

Thanks.

Well, here's to the best -looking woman I've met today.

She's a three -month -old baby, Frank. She needs her mother.

You're not breastfeeding. There's nothing you can do that I can't do. I'm

talking mother and child.

Bullshit.

You're talking about unloading your guilt onto me.

Explain that remark.

You and Alice.

You haven't worked it out yet, have you? You know, demanding career, looking

after a new baby.

Are you saying I can't do both? Oh, yeah, you are doing both.

But when you're with Alice, you fret about your job, and when you're at work,

you feel guilty about Alice.

Look, either you play a full -time Earth mother or... Or what?

Neglect Alice?

No.

Look, just let go, huh?

Don't keep shutting me out.

It's not enough for you to say that you want me to share, Alice. You've got to

believe it.

Amazing.

You duck my daughter and try to make me feel guilty about it.

Tessa.

Look, we've got to talk.

Yes, since it's very special.

We need to talk, remember, not hold on.

Irina?

It's me, Max.

Listen, about tonight.

Well, something's come up.

No, not business.

The baby.

Hmm?

Sounds good to me.

Yeah, you too.

I thought you were serious when you said I could take Alice.

Oh, come on. You must have known that if you took her to Israel, I'd come

running after you like one of a paddle of dogs.

It was all a ploy to get you here.

I'm here.

You got your way.

Something else you're good at.

So I go to America and marry Hatman, number one.

But he gave me such little pleasure, I begin to suspect.

That he doesn't fancy you?

No, that he's a homosexual, Max.

Oh, dear.

Oh, and when I divorce him, he blames me for making him a complete faggot. Can

you imagine that?

Never. Yeah.

I become so disillusioned in sex.

So I marry old Mr.

Pelt, you know.

Man who loves only my mind.

And how did that work out?

Oh, he becomes...

Obsessed for me?

You can imagine what happened.

No. What?

He spent fortune on monkey cleanse.

But no good. In one year he is dead.

Dead? How?

Watch this.

You're not seriously thinking of going home, are you?

I have a job.

I know it means nothing to you. Yes, it does. It means a lot to me.

Because I know it means a lot to you.

OK, look, you go home.

Then what? You can't work.

Marshall won't allow Alice into the office.

You'll be stuck at home.

Only until I find a nanny who isn't certifiably insane.

OK, OK.

But look, this deal is as good as closed.

Just a few more days, that's all.

What's wrong with you staying here and enjoying the beach, pool, service?

Not to mention me, Alice, and family, right?

But, Marshall... I owe you a lot more on the few days' holiday.

Oh, come on, Tess. Come on. It'll be great.

Oh, God.

Why do you always make it sound so plausible?

Max. Max.

Max.

You.

I know

you

are the one, the only one.

Oh, Max, dear.

Take me. Take me, Max. Take me.

Take me, Max.

Hello.

Yeah, this is he.

I mean, me.

They're on their way out now.

Get off!

going on? It was Alice. She needed a bit of, um, you know.

No, I don't know.

Hello?

Oh, yeah, hang on.

It'll be you, your foreign affair.

No, no, I'm not here. I'm not here.

Says he's not here.

Frank. Okay, I'll tell him.

Hi.

Bami, you got your hands full there, Max?

She's a nutter. Bami, completely off the wall.

Well, Maxwell Taplo is no one's sex object, right?

Right. Right.

Night, Frank.

Night. Sexy.

At least I got one thing right.

But have you sampled it?

Well, that sounds great, Frank.

About 16 ,000 cases.

No, don't worry about that.

Banks promised to cover my end.

Yep, I'll hold.

Make sure you give her the baby milk, not the stuff you put on your

Don't worry, Tess. Make sure she gets it on time. She will.

Unless we can take her with us. What do you think?

Look, it was you that said it'd be baking out there.

Yeah, you're right.

Max, if you do take her out, make sure she gets plenty of sunblock and keep her

well covered. Well covered, right. That's me.

Oh, my hat.

Hello, Frank.

Mr. Bellari, I'd like you to meet my wife, Tessa.

Pleasure, Mrs. Carver. Tessa, nice to meet you.

Sam Levison, my winemaker and good friend.

Hello. Hi.

Have you visited the working vineyard before, Mrs. Carver? Only with a

of other tourists.

Then while Mr. Carver and I talk business, perhaps you'd like Sam to show

the estate.

Sounds good.

If you please, Sam. Pleasure.

See you later, darling.

Do you know anything about wine, Mrs. Carver?

Well, I can tell a pirate from a diet coke.

Sorry,

I didn't mean to sound patronizing.

I didn't mean to sound brittle.

Okay. Shall we start again?

Yes.

Okay. Most of the wine here is made from the classic Cabernet Grey.

I've been in touch with my people in London.

We've got a deal.

I'm glad you think so.

Regretfully, I cannot accept these terms.

That's what we agreed.

You made an offer, Mr. Carver. I considered it, and now I tell you it is

acceptable.

Why not?

One of my old customers suddenly made a very good offer.

Better than mine?

Considerably better.

$22 a cake.

What?

It was under the impression you had agreed to pay $20.

I'd hate to think you used me to rack up the price.

I, too, would prefer you not to think badly of me.

But the fact is that others have outbid you, Mr. Carver.

Look, I've committed a lot of time, money, and goodwill on the basis we had

deal.

That is your problem.

Mine is to get the best price I can for my wine.

But make a new offer, and who knows?

It's beautiful.

It's Israel.

But you have to be kind of crazy to make your life here.

You don't have to be Jewish, but it helps.

Well, you're a winemaker, aren't you?

A lawyer.

So where do you live? You don't commute from Tel Aviv, do you? No, no, I live on

a kibbutz.

Really?

I thought these days they were only for tourists.

We get tourists if they want to taste the lifestyle for a little while, but

I wanted to taste the lifestyle for a lifetime.

I'd never have guessed you were a dreamer.

Shouldn't judge by appearances.

At least give me 24 hours to talk to my people back in London. You owe me that.

As you wish.

So, goodbye, Mr. Carver, and if we do not meet again, I hope you enjoy staying

in Israel.

Didn't come to Israel for a holiday, Mr. Ben -Ori.

Foundation concentrates on Eastern Europe.

You know, self -help, posturing enterprise.

I feel like helping make the world fake for greed.

Helping people to help themselves.

Thrashing.

Ethiopian Jews.

New immigrants.

My sister Mirov works with them, and she asked me to ask David to hire a few.

What's her job?

She runs one of the absorption centers.

She handles thousands of Ethiopian refugees.

Sounds like interesting work.

It is.

You know, the Russians went from commissar to capitalist in a lifetime,

Ethiopians, they were living a biblical lifestyle up until the day they got

here.

Could I get to meet them, Sam?

Yeah, if you're serious, I'll have Mirov set it up.

Coochie.

Don't look too hard down, by the way.

He's just doing to you what you tried to do to him.

Call me, Tessa.

I only committed on the basis that we had a deal. Devious bastard knows it.

Is your deal really beyond salvation?

No, it's just that after buying the wine, I had a hope to have some money

over to pay the hotel bill. That's all.

I've been stitched up.

I hate to admit it, Jamie, but that's the situation.

Ben already used me. I should never have fallen for it.

No, there's no need for that. There's still a profit in it.

And it's a small one now.

Look, I'm up to my limit, so you'll have to arrange a line of credit.

Oh, Daddy's on the phone again.

Yeah. OK.

What's our top price?

Never mind, Alice.

With any luck, Gavin might pencil you in for a good night.

Yusuf, ask that guy where Mr. Benari is, will you?

He'll be away for the day.

Hello, could I speak to Mr. Rosen, please?

Max Taplo, Mr. Rosen.

Yeah.

Billy Taplow's nipper.

Tel Aviv.

Just for a few days.

I was hoping that maybe you could help me.

It's to do with me dad.

Thank you.

Jesus wept.

Darling, I'm home.

Hi, Jamie. Yeah.

Yeah, I think Benari's going to play ball.

But listen.

I've bumped into a friend of mine.

He's a bit of a wine collector.

Okay.

Give me the details.

And then there's a claret, Chateau Lafite 45.

I've got a list of the rest.

Again.

Imperial Takai.

What years did you say?

28 and 45.

Is this a joke?

Frank, this is mythical booze.

Well, how much would it cost?

Cost?

The brandy alone, the A .E. Dore Reserve No. 5.

Well, you'll see very little change out of four grand.

Case?

What do you think you're doing?

Saving water. Save your own water. This is mine.

Not very friendly.

Environmentally.

Think

I'm

lying on a beach in 90 degrees.

And I should be sitting on the west way in a bug of petrol things.

Tragically.

I thought I'd have one of these.

I don't think I'd want one.

Frank!

Frank!

Can I come out now?

Yes, you can come out now. She's not here.

Ever wonder why I'm like I am, Ted?

Some terrible freak of nature, I suppose.

No, I'm serious.

But deep down, I'm insecure.

You?

Yes.

Well, you know how it's always been in my life.

Thoughting about trying to stay ahead of the game.

Never allowed for luck, though.

Not until now.

It might be hot, but staying there long enough, it's worse than bleeding

Clacton.

Oh, Gordon Bennett.

Hello?

I've already said Max isn't here.

No, I don't know his room number.

Yet.

No, I'm sorry, the desk won't... Look, I'm rather busy, if you don't mind.

Goodbye.

Don't sort out Max's love life.

Right.

Now look here, Mrs Peltz.

Oh, it's you.

Hello, Marshall.

You promised to keep in touch, Tessa.

I've been busy.

What do you mean, busy? You forgot.

How could I forget?

Oh, you didn't forget.

I'm sorry, Marshall. It's been all go since I got here.

So what the hell are you doing out there anyway?

Some vacation or what?

No, nothing like that.

Right. Well, wrap it up and make tracks. I need you where I can see you.

A few more days. This is the Bound Black Foundation.

You work here, remember?

Who said it was personal?

I'm delayed because I'm onto a project for the foundation.

Ethiopian immigrants. It's perfect for us, Marshall.

Tessa, read the house rules.

The Bound Blood Foundation works in Eastern Europe.

The same thing. It's bringing people into the 20th century.

Marshall, since when did I stop working for a man of vision?

Look, I've finished my report and you can judge for yourself.

When are you going to be back?

Soon, I promise.

Really? Yes.

Goodbye, Marshall.

Ethiopian immigrants.

I hate having to lie.

Lying and lying.

You're an expert in both kinds.

Tessa, how cruel.

Hello?

OK. Thank you, I'll tell her.

Sam's sister, down in the lobby.

Better go.

Yeah.

Oh, by the way, we'll have to give dinner out tonight amiss, I'm afraid.

Oh, so much for soft lights and non -stop violins.

Well, it'd be too late by the time I get home.

Get home from where?

I'm working on the deal.

Stock taking and stuff like that, you know. Thrilling.

Look, I'm sorry.

I'll make it up to you, I promise.

Not the first time you've threatened to do that.

Bye. Bye.

You can drop the answer phone out, Max. It's me, not Irina.

Now, look, get yourself to lay on a self -drive, will you?

Oh, Max, buy a torch.

A big one.

You're out.

You must be Tessa.

That's right. And the bundle is Alice.

Hi, Alice.

She's adorable.

Shall we go?

Sure.

The Ethiopians call them falafels.

It means strangers.

Some strangers.

They'd only lived there since biblical times.

How many have come so far?

About 50 ,000.

So sad.

Their way of life, their ancient culture, was completely destroyed by the

war and famine.

They had no choice.

They had to leave.

Or die.

How did you get the money?

It was incredible.

By air, Operation Solomon.

Nobody thought we could do it, but we had to try.

The Jews are wonderful looking people. No, they're beautiful.

They weren't so sure about us at first, though.

We're a different color, and they thought all Jews were black. Got

something special to show you, Max.

Like what?

Your seat.

Seeing what?

Can't you give us a clue?

A clue?

Where? Ever heard of Eldorado?

Never watched it. Why?

Forget it.

Right, Max, this is it.

Right,

Max. I want every bottle identified and counted.

Counted?

But there's hundreds.

Thousands? Yeah.

This place is filthy.

I've got my best friends on.

Do it, Max.

And your next suit's on me.

I'm from Savile Row.

Do you see their situation in Israel, Mira?

Well, the women want the same, you know, to be treated like any other women. But

when they try to stand up for themselves... The men feel threatened.

Oh, yeah.

Tessa, it's a totally patriarchal society. Women rate lower than

Sometimes it gets very nasty.

How do you mean?

Wife battering, physical abuse of children, and more.

Can't anything be done for these women?

It's too much.

The law can't handle it.

As the men see it, they have the right and the duty to keep their families in

line. So what happens?

We try counseling.

When that fails, we set up shelters for the battered women and kids.

But nowhere near enough.

Why? Tessa, we do what we can with the funds available, but they don't stretch

to what we need.

Purpose -built, protected units.

Why protected?

To stop some of the men.

tracking down their women and killing them.

What I don't get, I mean, if all this don't belong to Ben Harry, who does it

belong to?

Me, soon.

But it's on his land, isn't it?

Yes, well, Ben Harry doesn't know anything about it, and after the stroke

tried to pull, he's not going to either.

How much is it all worth, do you reckon?

Three, four... Thousand?

Million.

That's your new suit you just smashed there, mate.

So...

If this brandy's worth four grand a bottle, how much does that work out a

A lot.

So enjoy it, because it's the first and last time you get to taste it.

Midnight rebels.

Tess!

Tess! Come on, you don't know what you're doing!

Tessa, do you know what that brandy's worth?

Do you need the car today?

Why? I need a motor, Frank, to visit someone.

Benny Rosen, an old family mate living in Jerusalem.

I need you to the car to Alice today, Max.

I will. I'll take her with me.

Take Alice to Jerusalem?

She'll be fine.

Guard her with me life, word of honour.

I don't know, Max.

I'm not keen on you taking her off.

It's special, Frank, to do with me dad.

No tea, Max. You never call.

But I forgive you.

Yeah, well, I've got an appointment in... In Jerusalem, yes?

I also go to Jerusalem. We go together.

Oh, think what fun we have, Max.

You, drive.

Give me an hour, Yusuf.

Don't worry. I'll make sure he comes back.

Now I buy present for you.

Mr. Rosen?

Stone the bleeding crows. Billy Kaplow to the life.

Hello, Mr. Rosen.

You gave me a turn, son. I thought you was your dad come back from the grave

the five quid I owe you.

Is this your stroll?

Yeah.

Is this yours?

I'll tell you about it later.

And that's the going rate for the sort of land I'm talking about?

And foreigners buying?

Great.

No, that's fine. Thank you very much, Mrs Friedlander. Thank you. That's all.

Goodbye.

Yeah, reception.

Mr Carver here. Could you get me a taxi?

Thank you.

You remember him, then, your dad?

Hardly at all.

What happened between him and my mum, Mr Rosen?

The usual story.

Your dad comes home from war and finds Grace doing a military two -step with a

rear gunner. You're joking.

My mum?

Ah, so that's why he walked.

Couldn't swallow it, could he? Not with his pride.

That's why he stayed on in uniform after the war.

And got himself topped for his trouble.

How did he die, anyway?

Grace never said.

All I got from her was that he was killed trying to nick Army gear.

It's true.

Not the old truth.

Your dad had Nick guns, but not to fill his pockets.

Well, why then?

After the war, I joined the Haganah, the Israeli resistance.

Your dad nicked weapons to help me and other Jews stay alive here when it was

odds on we wouldn't.

That's what he was doing when they killed him.

Who?

His truck went over a landmine.

Talk about a sick joke. Who planted the landmine?

Jews.

A shelter program is exactly the kind of project the Foundation should offer.

Think you could help?

You're still supposed to be the director.

Tessa, that would be wonderful.

Oh, it's strange.

When one door opens, another closes.

How do you mean?

Sam, I had him on the phone last night.

I think he's about to lose his job.

Hi, Sam.

David around?

Aye, he's not here.

Is it worth waiting?

He's out for the day, Frank.

He's not selling my wine, is he?

You'll have to ask him about that.

I'll tell him you came by.

Yeah, if you see him, tell him I've got an idea that'll make him rich.

Yeah, if I see him.

Mr. Tuffel.

Mrs. De Pelt is in the Muslim quarter. She could be in some danger. You come

quickly, please.

Well, it's great to meet you, Mr. Rosen.

And thanks for telling me about my dad.

Take care, man.

What's going on here, sir?

Armageddon, Mr. Arab.

Incidents become murder.

Murder becomes oppression.

Oppression makes trials.

What's going on is politics, Mr. Sapnaw.

Tragic politics, Mr. Mr.

Bloody nutter, what's she got up into?

I warned her not to come into here today.

But you know this lady?

No!

What are you up to?

The lady does not pay for some goods. No, they try to cheat me, so I tear up

shelves to teach them lessons. Oh, right. That's all we need, isn't it? Oh,

you bring little Alice to meet me. How nice. If anything happens to this baby

because of you... Don't worry.

I send these stupid people away and we have fun.

Go away. Go!

Get lost. Go away.

You called Robert, and the police sent you back to your own country.

Okay,

okay!

Yousef, pay them the money, and I'll sort it out with you later.

You, with me.

You are

safe now.

How romantic, Max.

You risk your damsel in distress.

You're no damsel in distress. You're a bleeding head case.

Oh, Max.

Putting Alice in danger like that, you're not just out of order, you're out

control. Oh, and you are angry.

It makes you look so sweet.

Nice to know you've got a sense of humour. You're going to need it.

Have a nice walk.

Oh, English arsehole.

Will Bound Black wear it?

If there's something in it for the foundation, meaning him, why not?

Save houses for battered women and children.

No profit in that for him.

No, but for once, I'd be doing something that might make a real difference.

He might do it for the fainted, or at least the publicity.

Well, go for it, then. I can't start here, Frank. I've got to go back.

Look, don't worry. It's only another couple of days.

And David selling the vineyard won't affect your deal with him.

What's he talking about?

Didn't you know?

David Bernard is getting out of the wine business.

He told Sam he was going to be out of a job.

Where did you hear this?

Near us.

We got it from Sam, of course.

You didn't know?

No. Not a thing.

I can't believe it.

So what?

Even if someone else owns the land, the wine's still going to be for sale.

Don't be sick, Max. It's the wine in the villa I'm after.

But can't you still shift that on the choir?

Only if I own the land.

Otherwise I'll end up eating kosher prison for you.

Ah.

You mean you've got to nick this wine legally?

You'll just have to buy the land myself.

But someone's got an offer in first.

Then I'll have to make Ben Ory a better offer, won't I?

This is a very generous offer.

So we have a deal, then?

No. I've shaken hands with my neighbor.

Well, you shook hands with me on $16 a case. Didn't stop you pushing me up to

$22. Don't worry, Mr. Carver. I'm sure the new owner will let you buy all the

wine you want.

So why do you want my land?

None of your concern.

Look, how much do you want for your bloody vineyard?

Mr. Carver, I've already sold it to a man I've known all my life.

No matter how much money you offer me, I will not change my mind and sell it to

a foreigner I've just met.

Shalom, Mr. Carver.

So you better run and hide, but remember Love hurts you

just the same

Love

hurts

you just the same
