Mercada, I was just going to the delicatessen

to see what happened.

There is no more delicatessen, Avram.

How will we support ourselves?

The family's livelihood is gone.

Yes, I heard.

What a disaster, my dear.

What a disaster.

Forgive me for being like this.

I don't know who to cry to.

Me, only me.

Me.

I just came from there. This is what's left.

This is what matters - Raphael.

The soul of the place.

This is good luck. It means the new delicatessen

will be even more beautiful.

Disaster after disaster.

Luna's husband, Gabriel's bastard son, now this.

What do I have to live for?

For what?

For me.

You have me.

Live for me.

I'm here, Mercada.

Now…

I'm family too.

Don't worry, my love.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Do you still need the cane?

Since the fire, I have…

pressure here and I'm nauseous.

So I'm using it, just in case.

You must quit smoking. It's bad for you.

Do you want something to eat?

No, thank you.

I'm not hungry.

You look tired. Maybe you should lie down.

I want to go to the police

to talk to David.

We may have forgotten, but…

he's still Luna's husband.

I haven't forgotten.

That lunatic must divorce her.

You look better, Mama.

Doesn't she?

Yes.

I want you two to go to Safed.

I'm not leaving you like this.

I want to be at your wedding.

Amalia,

go and tell your father.

He'll be happy.

Start the wedding preparations.

I want to be there.

You will.

Yes.

I'm not alone.

Gabriel,

he comes often.

I love you, my child.

Did they beat you?

No.

Do they feed you?

They don't allow me to bring you food.

-I want to tell your mother. -Absolutely not.

-David… -No.

What did they do in the interrogation?

They asked me questions.

What did you say?

I told the truth.

Why did you go to Luna's shop?

To talk to her, but…

she…

What's this?

The complaints Luna filed against you.

First, for what you did to her at our home.

Second, for what happened later in the shop.

I hear that you're accused of abduction and attempted murder.

I didn't try to murder her.

No?

You didn't tell the soldiers you'd slaughter her?

Did you or didn't you?

I did.

The officer says you'll get ten years minimum.

These are the divorce papers.

Luna already signed them.

Now,

once you sign,

Luna will withdraw the complaints and you will go free.

Instantly. It's your decision.

-No. -David.

You're asking me to give Luna up?

I'm not asking, David,

I'm telling you.

You will release my daughter.

No.

David, I think it's better that you listen to Gabriel.

I heard him. The answer is no.

It's ten years in prison.

Or you can get out now. It's your choice.

-No. -David, it's over.

There are other women.

Find a good, modest woman,

not like that…

Don't you care about your mother?

-She doesn't know. -She will.

If you don't sign,

I'll make sure she knows.

I'm Luna's husband.

If you love her

like you say you do,

let her go.

Do not chain Luna to this marriage.

Do you know who I am?

We met once, over 20 years ago.

Rosa?

Gabriel and I are not involved.

You have a son.

Gabriel told me. You don't have to lie.

Why did you come here, Rosa?

To see the woman that my husband loves.

It's been over 20 years.

We have three daughters.

When will you give up?

I gave up long ago.

But for my son…

You…

you grew up without parents.

How do you know?

Gabriel told me.

Gabriel talked about me?

Often.

I don't have much time left, Rosa.

That's why I told my son about him.

I don't want him to be alone in the world.

I always lived alone.

With a husband, three daughters, but alone.

Do you hate me?

Gabriel never loved me as he loves you.

But he chose you.

Ephraim.

I've been looking for you for days now.

Why?

Colonel Parker.

You swore he'd return to England in a coffin.

Well, he's leaving. He's going back to London.

It's in the paper.

I thought you'd need this.

Yes?

Did you ever think you'd have to knock on this door?

I spoke to David.

He won't give her a divorce.

As for me…

…I want to tell the girls.

With you or without you.

As you wish.

There's nothing to tell the girls.

I thought you wanted to.

I gave it some thought. I don't want to.

You have a son, Gabriel.

He's yours and only yours.

We have three daughters, that's how it will remain.

When you understand that, when he understands that,

then we'll tell the girls.

You know, Rosa,

after what happened,

when Becky was born,

I never thought

I'd be able to love her.

I have a son now, Rosa.

Maybe you can love him too?

Your son

doesn't belong to this family.

And us?

You and I?

We'll carry on.

After all,

you chose me.

Who is it?

Gabriel.

What happened?

Mama…

We got back from Safed and she…

I rushed to the doctor, he…

he said she's…

there's nothing to be done.

"Nothing to be done"?

It's her final hours.

We must say goodbye.

Wait here.

We're going.

Forgive me.

Let's go.

I was afraid you wouldn't make it.

I'm here.

We're all here.

Take care of them.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I didn't come.

I was weak.

I'm sorry I didn't keep my promise.

But I regret nothing.

Not a moment we were together.

I'm sorry they were so few.

I love you.

No…

No, no, no, no…

No…

No…

No…

Why did you ask to see me?

I wanted to say goodbye.

I thought you did already.

Do you still love me, Luna?

I loved you.

I really loved you.

I would have done anything for you.

I even believed we would make it.

We could have tried again.

It's over.

Not for me.

You're still my wife, Luna.

Do you know what that means?

-If I don't release you, you can't-- -Release me from what?

You can't marry anyone else.

Ever.

I won't divorce you.

Promise me that.

Promise you what?

That you'll never divorce me.

You see,

you'll be the angel in here

who will ensure I never belong to anyone.

Never.

Little brother.

Little brother.

That smells good.

Can I have some? I'm starving, sister.

Of course. Sit down.

Is it good?

Can I have some?

I came to say goodbye.

Where are you going?

-There's nothing for me here, sister. -I told you that long ago.

But where will you go?

What you don't know,

you can't tell.

Your leek patties…

Just like Mama used to make.

Even better.

Can I take this with me?

I love you, sister.

I love you, little brother.

Oh, Gabriel, finally.

Come sit down.

I was at the delicatessen.

There's nothing there.

Only dust.

I swear,

that's life, Gabriel.

We had the best business in Jerusalem,

now we're on the street.

My heart aches.

Which heart exactly, Morduch?

You don't care about the delicatessen.

You didn't grow up there.

All my memories are within those four walls.

I'm a businessman,

and for a real businessman, only money matters.

I tried to teach you that, but you…

Why did you want to see me, Morduch?

Remember Baruch Gamlieli?

Baruch Gamlieli?

The three of us met at the delicatessen.

The insurance agent.

That place didn't have to burn down to die.

We were losing money.

-Hold on… -Gabriel,

I didn't know you were in the storeroom.

I'm a liar, maybe a thief, but I'm no murderer.

You burned down the delicatessen.

Oh, Baruch Gamlieli.

-Welcome, sir, please join us. -Hello, Mr. Morduch.

Hello, Mr. Ermosa.

The delicatessen,

like the Brits say, is a total loss.

Even the assessor said it's worthless.

That's why they were generous.

Show me.

ANGLO-PALESTINE BANK, CHECK TO GABRIEL ERMOSA, 4973 LIRE

It's half mine, half yours.

But add my name where it says "payable to."

No, no, no.

The company pays the owner

who is on the deed.

Or his heirs.

The heirs are Gabriel and Mercada Ermosa.

See you soon.

Hold on, this…

But we're both the owners of the property.

Well…

I trust you, you're an honest man.

I'm honest, but I'm a businessman too.

And to a real businessman, as you said,

only money matters, right?

No, Gabriel, you can't…

You're not a shit like me. You're no thief.

Not a thief, not a liar,

not a murderer too.

But I'm no chump, Morduch.

All the best to you.

Gabriel, wait, let's talk.

Let's talk like grown men.

Then not half!

Gabriel!

Toss a bone to your partner.

Don't cry.

I'm not crying.

I see tears in your eyes.

It's not because of you.

What will I do without you?

What will I do without you?

Should I stay?

What's that for?

You ask stupid questions.

I can change my mind.

Rachelika, stop.

Say you're going.

"Rachelika, make the right choices."

Remember who said that?

I did.

Good.

Now let's cry together.

When rocks fall from the sky,

God throws in a little flower.

Finally, after all our troubles.

-Have you heard from David? -No.

And that rock makes my heart heavy.

That Luna isn't free.

She doesn't seem to care.

Even if she does, she's not showing it.

It's good she's going away,

she won't hear what people are saying.

My son,

I don't care what people say anymore.

Seriously,

hearing that from you, the Messiah has come.

I swear.

What are you going to do?

Rosa told me everything. I know.

I don't know what that woman is made of.

She's made of iron.

If not for her, this family would crumble.

She said she doesn't want him here.

-She's right. -And he won't be.

He's getting married,

he'll have a home of his own.

When will you tell the girls?

I don't know.

When Rosa wants us to.

What did you say his name is?

I didn't say.

Shlomo.

Shlomo.

Shlomiko.

They call him Shloimeleh.

I have one grandson. You won't tell me what to call him.

Well…

the automobile will come here.

If you cry, your makeup will smudge.

Then just a hug.

I'll miss you.

Me too.

-I love you. -I love you too.

My talented granddaughter.

Good luck, sweetheart.

I'm proud of you.

Thank you, Mama.

I don't remember allowing you to go.

You didn't.

And you're going nevertheless?

Yes, I am.

Papa, don't cry.

This way, I won't see you crying.

I don't know what to say, sweetheart.

Don't say anything.

Well,

I think they forgot you, Luna.

Do you want to go inside

to call the British woman?

No, she can't be at home.

She must be waiting at the airport.

I'll check.

It's coming!

The automobile is coming!

Her luggage.
