We'll soon have a wedding.

We have to get married.

An Ashkenazi woman?

And your children? My grandchildren's blood will be mixed?!

I love her.

You lied in Papa's name, bless his memory.

Don't you dare marry that Ashkenazi devil.

I'll die before I give you up.

I know you didn't want to marry me.

A girl.

We'll call her Luna.

I know about the Ashkenazi woman. Were there anymore?

It's a Singer.

I choose my men for who they are, not because of their money.

David Franco?

He's not in your league.

Why would you know what's best for me when you didn't know what's best for you?

You only see a dress like this in the magazines.

I designed it. I want you to sell it.

I want to kill Nazis, as many as possible.

I'll come back after the war and we'll get married.

I need money, Avram.

The delicatessen hasn't been the same in years.

I know these people who give loans.

They're criminals.

You'll have to give something.

Put the delicatessen up as collateral for 2,000 liras?

I know who you owe money to.

The sign outside says "Ermosa Delicatessen."

In a few days, it will say "Morduch Delicatessen."

There are people who have decided to form a small army

that will talk to the Brits and Arabs in a language they understand.

I'm in.

Ephraim.

I just came to give you this.

That brother of yours, the punk, the Fascist, the thief.

It's dirty money!

What do you want?

I'm back.

I need your help

for my son.

You have a son?

We have a son.

Go away.

Go!

David returned from the war with profound pain.

There are moments in life

when the decisions we make

can change our whole lives.

By this ring, you are consecrated to me

by the laws of Moses and Israel.

Wait here a second.

This is beautiful.

David, look, the sea.

It's gorgeous here.

Feel how soft.

Want some?

Can we, or does it cost money?

We're on our honeymoon, we can do anything.

-It's delicious. -It is.

Do you love me, David?

Very much.

Then why don't you tell me?

I did.

That doesn't count.

You have to tell me all the time, without me asking.

I love you.

Very much.

Fool…

you get a haircut the day before the wedding,

not after.

But now you have something to talk about.

Are you worried your mother won't have something to talk about?

-Are you going to the delicatessen today? -There you go…

I don't know.

When's the last time you were there?

I don't remember.

Okay, no more talking.

What do you do all day long?

You don't go to the delicatessen, where do you go?

Don't move, I'll cut you.

You're some dumbass head of the family, Gabriel.

Mercada, not in front of the girls, please.

Morduch has been alone there for two weeks now.

I bet he ripped us off good.

Do you want me to go?

-No! -You stay out of it.

It's beneath my husband's honor to send his mother.

His mother went to the delicatessen with your husband in her arms

and her boob in his mouth.

Your honor demands you go there,

not sit at home like a mouse.

Mercada, stop.

Tell me…

Luna's honeymoon,

where did you get the money for a hotel in Tel Aviv?

My daughter

gets married once in her life.

I want her to have the best.

Stop talking.

Do you know where, Rosa?

You took out a loan again?

While you're cutting his hair,

look for the little brain he has left because I didn't find it.

That's it, I'm done.

But I haven't finished, Gabriel.

Where to, the delicatessen?

Sweep up this hair.

You sweep it up.

What are you looking at? This is no cinema.

Get up and sweep up the hair!

Sitting there…

When was he supposed to be here?

Now.

Then why isn't he?

Your first time in the field?

How old are you?

Nineteen.

Don't worry.

It will be fine. He'll be here soon.

How's your Arabic?

-Good. -Great.

Then you'll talk to him.

There's 10,000 liras in here.

As soon as he comes, you get behind the wheel

and go over the stash with him.

Okay? I'm counting on you.

Where will you be?

I'll be over there.

Keep a line of fire open for me. If he gives you grief,

I'll blow his head off.

I think he's coming.

First the money!

It's all there.

Ambush!

Wait for me!

Wait for me!

Yechiel, stop! Wait for Itzik!

Yechiel, wait for Itzik!

David?

David?

David?

David.

-David! -Wha…? What?

Why are you sleeping on the floor?

It's easier for me to fall asleep.

I'm not used to sleeping in a soft bed.

What did you sleep on in the war?

I didn't…

really sleep.

Do you want to go downstairs?

I think there's dancing now.

Alright.

How's this?

What?

The dress.

It's pretty.

Just "pretty"? I made it especially for our honeymoon.

Get dressed.

Good God.

That Victoria, I swear.

-What's wrong? -What a stench.

She may have left, but she left her stench behind.

Mercada, it's not that bad.

Put it all back.

We can clean up in there, tidy up.

Rosa, you weren't in there.

That filth can't be cleaned up.

So Luna will stay in the house a little bit longer…

I'll die before I let my granddaughter live in that stench.

Good God.

Manuel, put down that notepad.

Take the tickets of the ships, erase the price,

add 40 percent for Avram's commission.

Avram, what is this?

I didn't know you moved.

What's the saying? "Change of place, change of luck."

You didn't have luck where you were before?

-I did, but maybe here even more. -Amen.

Manuel, bring us tea.

But hot, not cold like your grave.

Please, sit down.

I need your help, Avram.

Yes.

-How much do you need? -I don't need money, Avram.

I need a private detective.

-How many sugars? -Not now, not now.

Why do you need a private detective?

I'll tell him

when you find me one.

You'll tell a private detective who you've met for the first time

and you won't tell Avram

who was at your bris?

Go away, Gabriel.

Go and never come back!

I don't want to see you anymore!

And now, even if you want to tell, I don't want to hear.

Do you want to hear?

Of course.

There's a woman,

Ashkenazi, religious.

She used to live in New York, now she's in Jerusalem.

Her name is Rochel Leibowitz.

All of Jerusalem knew about your Ashkenazi woman.

Is it the same one or did you have others?

The same one.

I must find her, Avram.

Gabriel Ermosa,

you just married off a daughter.

Soon you'll have a grandchild, God willing.

Isn't it time to forget that "Shkanuzit" of yours?

She doesn't live in Jerusalem?

I went to where she lived. She hasn't lived there in years.

Does she have money?

No. She's poor.

Very poor, I think.

Where did I put…

Oh.

This is a list of all the places in Jerusalem

that provide a bed for the poor.

A woman with no home, maybe she's there.

She has a son. I mean, we do.

Best you search in a shelter…

What did you say?

What did you say, Gabriel?

She has a son from me.

He's a young man now.

My God.

Would you happen to have a cigarette for me?

So you're not looking for a woman.

You're looking for your son.

Don't worry, my dear Gabriel,

I'll turn over every stone in Jerusalem

until I find him.

Coming!

Hello.

Forgive me for showing up like this.

It's fine. Do you want a glass of water?

No,

I'm…

selling ice in the neighborhood.

I thought perhaps ma'am would want some?

I'm sorry, I buy from someone else.

I'll sell it to you at half price.

I'll bring it to you.

You look familiar.

Do you live around here?

I…

I collect donations around here.

You Sephardim are more generous.

But now I want to work.

Please, come in. I'll give you something to drink.

May God bless you, ma'am.

Can I offer you something to eat as well?

-No, thank you, just a glass of water. -Come, sit here.

Excuse me?

Young man?

It's sunny outside. How about we go to the beach?

I don't think we can.

They say the British forbid it because of the illegal immigrants.

I'm not asking them.

Luna…

Just a second, David.

Luna, I'm going to the beach.

If you feel like it, join me.

Dogs.

All they cared about was why I didn't bring the pickup with the weapons.

I told them: "The British knew. They were waiting for us."

Someone snitched, they got Itzik. Nothing.

Just "get the pickup."

-What do we do about Itzik? -Nothing. Nothing at all.

I asked for three guys to get him out. Nothing, the cowards.

They said: "Itzik's not the first and not the last to sacrifice himself

for the Land of Israel."

-But he's still alive. -Not to them.

They've given up.

The Resistance Group. We're more spineless than the paramilitary organization.

So we have to bring them the weapons.

No.

What, then?

HELP FOR THE NEEDY

What's this?

Where did you get it?

You went there again?

I wanted to see my father.

You saw him at the wedding. You said he barely looked at you.

Yes, but there were many people there and he doesn't know me.

I wanted to see him alone.

And he gave you this?

He wasn't home.

What?

You stole it?

I'll give it back.

I shouldn't have told you about him.

You had me in sin, Mama.

I want to meet my father.

Your father doesn't want you, Shloimeleh!

The Torah says that a bastard is sent to a city where he's unknown.

-A different city. -I know what the Torah says.

And in another city,

I won't be a bastard?

Where else do you want us to go, Mama?

We came here from Brooklyn. Where else do you want us to go?

Where no one knows us, sweetie.

Where no one knows us.

I'm sorry.

I know you didn't want to sit with them, but I didn't know how to get rid of them.

I was sure we were going to fight now.

Did I ruin it?

Are you alright, David?

Do you remember when we decided to get married?

Of course.

-Before you went to Europe. -Yes.

Well…

I'm not the same David I was before I went.

I can tell.

Papa told me that men change in war.

Tell me.

Let's drop it.

Let's go in the water.

You said the British forbid it.

And you said you're not asking them.

Come on.

Luna, I don't want to get wet.

I swear, you're worse than a girl.

Luna, what are you doing?

You're totally naked, people will see.

There's no one here.

Someone could come.

No one will come. There's a sign - "no entry."

Then let's leave.

No, I want to swim.

Come.

I can't swim, Luna.

I'll teach you. It's easy.

How do you know how to swim?

-Someone taught me. -Who?

I was at the beach with this Brit and he taught me, no big deal.

I keep hearing about guys you were with.

-We were at the beach. -Dressed like this?

No, with him, I was totally naked.

Happy now?

He was naked too and his friends we were with

and we were all naked together!

-David, get in the bed. -No.

This is ridiculous.

You find it funny?

No, it saddens me.

It really does.

We're on our honeymoon, look at us.

Are you going to stay there all night?

Is it heavy?

It's fine.

David?

David!
