00:01:27,083 --> 00:01:29,500
[ Boy ]
A hundred years ago
in a shtetl near Pinsk,
2
00:01:29,583 --> 00:01:32,667
a young girl ran off
into the woods.
3
00:01:32,750 --> 00:01:36,667
Her father wanted her
to marry a scholar
from the Pinsker yeshiva,
4
00:01:36,750 --> 00:01:41,041
but for some reason,
maybe she was a little crazy,
who knows ?
5
00:01:41,125 --> 00:01:44,166
She didn't want to.
Anyhow, she ran away.
6
00:01:44,250 --> 00:01:47,625
She ran away from home ?
Yeah.
7
00:01:47,709 --> 00:01:49,834
[ Boy ]
It was in the middle
of winter.
8
00:01:49,917 --> 00:01:52,375
She wandered
into the forest.
9
00:01:52,458 --> 00:01:55,333
At first, no one at home
even knew she ran away.
10
00:01:55,417 --> 00:01:58,500
They thought she got lost
in the snow somewhere
and died.
11
00:01:58,583 --> 00:02:02,458
They looked and looked
for her, but they
never found her body.
12
00:02:02,542 --> 00:02:04,792
They decided the wolves
ate her up.
13
00:02:04,875 --> 00:02:07,000
[ Coughing ]
14
00:02:07,083 --> 00:02:10,875
[ Coughing ]
Shh, Yossi,
they'll hear us.
15
00:02:10,959 --> 00:02:14,875
Yossi, they'll kill us
if they find you here.
16
00:02:14,959 --> 00:02:19,375
No, they'll just kill me.
I'm your older brother
so it falls on me.
17
00:02:19,458 --> 00:02:22,375
I'm the only one around here
gettin' killed.
18
00:02:22,458 --> 00:02:25,250
But, Yossi, I love you
more than anything.
19
00:02:25,333 --> 00:02:28,500
More than Papa or Imma.
More than anything.
20
00:02:28,583 --> 00:02:30,875
More than God ?
A million times more.
21
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:34,500
You're a sinner !
You're supposed to love God
above everything.
22
00:02:34,583 --> 00:02:36,917
And after that,
your father and mother.
23
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,208
The Torah doesn't
even say anything
about brothers and sisters.
24
00:02:40,291 --> 00:02:43,875
Then we'll add it in.
You can't add anything
to the Torah, dunce !
25
00:02:43,959 --> 00:02:46,709
It's finished.
It's the Word of God
and that's that.
26
00:02:46,792 --> 00:02:49,458
Not even the greatest
scholar can change
a letter of it.
27
00:02:49,542 --> 00:02:52,500
Then we'll write
our own Torah.
28
00:02:55,208 --> 00:02:58,250
It was the longest,
hardest winter
anyone could remember.
29
00:02:58,333 --> 00:03:03,250
[ Yossi ] They sat shiva
in Pinsk for the girl
who had disappeared.
30
00:03:03,333 --> 00:03:07,709
And everyone went on
with their business
until one day,
31
00:03:07,792 --> 00:03:11,417
just as suddenly as she
had disappeared, the girl
came back into town.
32
00:03:11,500 --> 00:03:15,083
She was also, you know,
carrying a baby
in her stomach.
33
00:03:15,166 --> 00:03:16,959
She was pregnant.
34
00:03:17,041 --> 00:03:19,583
In Pinsk, they said,
she got lost in the snow...
35
00:03:19,667 --> 00:03:24,083
and was saved by a demon
who made her his wife.
36
00:03:24,166 --> 00:03:27,625
That spring
the woman had a baby,
a baby girl.
37
00:03:27,709 --> 00:03:30,959
They called her Yitta.
[ Girl ]
Baba Yitta ?
38
00:03:31,041 --> 00:03:35,125
[ Yossi ] That's right.
Our whole family's
descended from Baba Yitta.
39
00:03:35,208 --> 00:03:38,417
If you don't watch out,
you're gonna end up
just like her.
40
00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:39,834
Like how ?
41
00:03:39,917 --> 00:03:44,792
When she was real old
and finally died, Baba Yitta
went up to heaven.
42
00:03:44,875 --> 00:03:48,625
But God didn't want her,
so He sent her
down to hell.
43
00:03:48,709 --> 00:03:52,917
But when she got there,
Satan recognized her
as his niece.
44
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,458
He couldn't bring himself
to make her suffer in hell,
45
00:03:55,542 --> 00:03:58,625
so he sent her back
up here to our world,
46
00:03:58,709 --> 00:04:03,125
where she wanders the earth
like Cain, alone forever.
47
00:04:03,208 --> 00:04:05,500
Poor Baba Yitta.
48
00:04:05,583 --> 00:04:09,041
Don't cry.
Remember what day it is ?

Happy birthday.
50
00:04:22,458 --> 00:04:24,417
A ruby !
51
00:04:27,417 --> 00:04:31,125
I bought it from Papa's shop
with my savings.
52
00:04:34,458 --> 00:04:36,667
It's fake !
53
00:04:36,750 --> 00:04:41,417
It's the fake one
Papa took out of that ring.
He was gonna throw it away.

are you doing ?

he kept in his heart...

even than was God,

to part with them.

Piety is the standard

494
00:41:51,166 --> 00:41:53,458
You'll start on Monday.
495
00:42:30,333 --> 00:42:34,291
Good morning, Mr. Kapoor.
I'm Sonia Horowitz,
Sender Horowitz's new buyer.
496
00:42:34,375 --> 00:42:37,166
Good morning, Miss Horowitz.
But I'm not--
497
00:42:37,250 --> 00:42:41,917
Actually it's Mrs. Horowitz.
And there's something
I'd like to show you.
498
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,125
You recognize this ?
No ?
499
00:42:45,208 --> 00:42:48,792
You can't remember an antique
brooch designed by Querelle
worth 30,000 bucks...
500
00:42:48,875 --> 00:42:53,083
which you parted with for only
five, but it's really worth
nothing because it's a fake ?
501
00:42:53,166 --> 00:42:56,417
Is that what
you can't remember ?
I can hardly remember my name--
502
00:42:56,500 --> 00:43:00,333
Ramon.
This is Mr. Kapoor.
I just work here.
503
00:43:02,375 --> 00:43:04,208
I'm Hrundi Kapoor.
504
00:43:05,917 --> 00:43:07,959
I've never seen
that piece before.
505
00:43:11,959 --> 00:43:14,667
You should be ashamed
of yourself, Mr. Kapoor.
506
00:43:14,750 --> 00:43:17,375
Mr. Horowitz's previous buyer
may have been too old...
507
00:43:17,458 --> 00:43:21,041
or just too trusting to detect
this fake, but he can remember
where he bought it from.
508
00:43:21,125 --> 00:43:23,166
As I said, I've never seen
that piece before.
509
00:43:23,250 --> 00:43:25,709
We have one of two possibilities
here, Mr. Kapoor.
510
00:43:25,792 --> 00:43:28,792
One, you yourself
didn't know it was a fake
and unwittingly passed it on.
511
00:43:28,875 --> 00:43:31,625
Two, you knew.
Either way, you're doing
dishonorable business.
512
00:43:31,709 --> 00:43:34,291
And as I understand it,
if Mr. Horowitz so desired,
513
00:43:34,375 --> 00:43:37,000
he could tarnish
your reputation so thoroughly
that within a week...
514
00:43:37,083 --> 00:43:41,166
you would be out on the
street corner hawking watches
out of a suitcase.
515
00:43:41,250 --> 00:43:46,625
Normally, Mr. Horowitz
would have come down here
and told you all this himself.
516
00:43:46,709 --> 00:43:49,709
But I think
he was a little concerned
with losing his temper.
517
00:43:49,792 --> 00:43:53,041
So here I am.
And although I happen
to have a temper myself,
518
00:43:53,125 --> 00:43:56,542
I have no particular
emotional investment in
this unfortunate transaction.
519
00:43:56,625 --> 00:44:00,041
So it might be possible
for you and I to start
on a fresh page...
520
00:44:00,125 --> 00:44:03,875
and embark on a relationship
that would better profit
both yourself and Mr. Horowitz.
521
00:44:03,959 --> 00:44:08,625
The emphasis, of course,
being on Mr. Horowitz.
What do you say ?
522
00:44:18,834 --> 00:44:21,667
What can I say ?
How about...
523
00:44:21,750 --> 00:44:24,834
"Good morning, Mrs. Horowitz.
Welcome to 47th Street.
524

526
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:38,250
Good morning, Mrs. Horowitz.
Welcome to 47th Street.
527
00:44:38,333 --> 00:44:42,083
Mr. and Mrs. Mizrachi,
Mrs. Horowitz
is my new buyer.
528
00:44:42,166 --> 00:44:43,959
Hello.
Hello.
529
00:44:44,041 --> 00:44:46,250
I'm sure Heschel
will be missed.
530
00:44:46,333 --> 00:44:50,792
But whatever she lacks
in experience, she'll make up
for with a superb taste.
531
00:44:50,875 --> 00:44:52,959
That's nice.
Any relations ?
532
00:44:53,041 --> 00:44:56,709
Excuse me ?
She's my sister-in-law.
533
00:44:56,792 --> 00:44:59,917
I'm keeping things in the family
so she can put my brother
through yeshiva.
534
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,583
You like them,
Mrs. Gelbart ?
535
00:45:03,667 --> 00:45:07,458
What I'd really like
is for my husband,
God bless him,
536
00:45:07,542 --> 00:45:11,250
to get off his fat ass,
surprise me with something,
537
00:45:11,333 --> 00:45:13,792
instead of handing me
a wad of cash...
538
00:45:13,875 --> 00:45:17,125
and telling me,
"Go make yourself happy."
539
00:45:17,208 --> 00:45:20,417
I understand,
Mrs. Gelbart.
540
00:45:20,500 --> 00:45:23,750
But the joy of the surprise
lasts only a few moments,
541
00:45:23,834 --> 00:45:26,792
and then you're at the mercy
of his taste...
542
00:45:26,875 --> 00:45:28,834
At least this way you can choose
something for yourself...
543
00:45:28,917 --> 00:45:30,959
that will give you naches
for the rest of your life.
544
00:45:31,041 --> 00:45:33,792
You've got excellent taste,
Mr. Sugarman.
545
00:45:33,875 --> 00:45:36,417
That ring was designed
by Eddie Sakamoto.
546
00:45:36,500 --> 00:45:40,583
A beautiful combination
of cobachon and diamonds
laid in a platinum band.
547
00:45:40,667 --> 00:45:44,250
That design won first prize
in the Spectrum competition
last fall.
548
00:45:44,333 --> 00:45:48,083
So, uh, what range
are we talking about here ?
549
00:45:48,166 --> 00:45:51,458
Mr. Sugarman, I'm not going
to pretend to give you
some kind of fancy bargain.
550
00:45:51,542 --> 00:45:53,208
I'll sell it to you
for what it's worth.
551
00:46:13,750 --> 00:46:17,083
It's so nice to see
a new face here.
552
00:46:18,542 --> 00:46:21,166
It's very inspirational.
553
00:46:21,250 --> 00:46:26,959
It just makes me want
to... buy something.
554
00:46:27,041 --> 00:46:29,709
Well, since
it's your wife's birthday,
Mr. Fishbein,
555
00:46:29,792 --> 00:46:32,125
I recommend this bracelet.
556
00:46:32,208 --> 00:46:35,834
It's silver inlaid with ruby.
It's her birthstone,
and mine.
557
00:46:35,917 --> 00:46:38,625
Could you model it
for me ?
558
00:46:45,750 --> 00:46:49,083
Ahh.
That looks fabulous.
559
00:46:50,458 --> 00:46:54,667
But such a lovely wrist,
I imagine anything would.
560
00:46:54,750 --> 00:46:57,542
The question is,
Mr. Fishbein,
561
00:46:57,625 --> 00:47:01,792
whether you think your wife,
Mrs. Fishbein, will like it.
562
00:47:03,625 --> 00:47:05,583
The question is,
Mrs. Horowitz,
563
00:47:05,667 --> 00:47:11,208
why a woman
as lovely as you...
564
00:47:11,291 --> 00:47:13,500
is not wearing any jewelry
of her own.
565
00:47:32,875 --> 00:47:34,834
Well ?
566
00:47:38,542 --> 00:47:40,458
Mmm, it's good.
567
00:47:40,542 --> 00:47:43,000
But what ?
568
00:47:45,709 --> 00:47:48,583
But nothing. It's good.
I didn't say "but."
But you thought it.
569
00:47:48,667 --> 00:47:51,417
I could see it there
over your head
like a little gray cloud.
570
00:47:51,500 --> 00:47:54,709
A little "but" something.
But what ?
571
00:47:54,792 --> 00:47:58,583
I understand most of
the nutrients that can be found
in freshly-cooked foods...
572
00:47:58,667 --> 00:48:01,250
are absent
in microwaveable products.
573
00:48:01,333 --> 00:48:04,125
Sounds like you've
been reading articles...
574
00:48:04,208 --> 00:48:07,667
on a rather wide variety
of subjects.
575
00:48:07,750 --> 00:48:10,667
Or else you've
been getting an earful
from your sister Rachel.
576
00:48:10,750 --> 00:48:14,375
In which case, I'd thank her
to keep her nose
out of my affairs.
577
00:48:20,041 --> 00:48:22,959
Do you know what
today is, Mendel ?
578
00:48:23,041 --> 00:48:24,959
No, I don't.

582
00:48:43,250 --> 00:48:46,000
I know that
you're working now.
583
00:48:46,083 --> 00:48:49,041
And I know that you like it,
so I'm glad for you.
584
00:48:50,917 --> 00:48:54,333
But you run out of the house
at the crack of dawn.
I hardly ever see you.
585
00:48:54,417 --> 00:48:58,875
And when I do it's to get
a microwave dinner tossed at me
like I'm some charity case.
586
00:49:00,458 --> 00:49:02,458
I know I spend my day
with my nose stuck in a book,
587
00:49:02,542 --> 00:49:05,959
but I'm not a complete idiot
when it comes to these things.
588
00:49:06,041 --> 00:49:08,458
It's clear that
something's missing.
What is it ?
589
00:49:08,542 --> 00:49:10,542
What is what ?
590
00:49:10,625 --> 00:49:13,834
What is it
that you want ?
I don't know.
591
00:49:13,917 --> 00:49:16,875
Mendel, if I knew--
592
00:49:19,750 --> 00:49:24,542
Mendel, I just want
something beautiful.
593
00:49:24,625 --> 00:49:28,417
Sonia, you have it right here.
You have a home, a child...
594

and a husband who loves you
more than anything
in the whole world.
595
00:49:31,291 --> 00:49:34,000
Yes, in this world,
maybe.
596
00:49:34,083 --> 00:49:36,542
But what about
the other world ?
597
00:49:36,625 --> 00:49:39,041
The world of the spirit
and the Torah
and the Talmud ?
598
00:49:39,125 --> 00:49:43,000
What about that world ?
Do you love me
more than that, Mendel ?
599
00:49:45,500 --> 00:49:47,959
What about God ?
600
00:49:50,083 --> 00:49:53,583
Do you love me more than
you love God, Mendel ?
601
00:49:55,417 --> 00:49:58,250
Sonia, that's
a terrible thing to ask.
602
00:50:10,959 --> 00:50:13,291
I'm sorry, Mendel.
603
00:50:20,250 --> 00:50:23,208
You're a good man.
604
00:50:23,291 --> 00:50:26,041
And this life is good,
but it's not beautiful.
605
00:50:26,125 --> 00:50:29,542
But...
goodness is beauty.
606
00:50:29,625 --> 00:50:31,875
No !
607
00:50:31,959 --> 00:50:35,667
Beauty has goodness in it,
but it can also be terrible.
608
00:50:37,834 --> 00:50:40,125
Is that what you want ?
609
00:50:41,792 --> 00:50:44,333
That, that things
should be terrible ?
610
00:50:46,375 --> 00:50:48,959
Is that what
would make you happy ?

You come back

have created...

of all.

Hmm. How's business,
Mr. Kapoor ?
632
00:53:18,458 --> 00:53:23,750

at Tiffany's and Saks. The poor
are carjacking the rich ones...

Not surprising if this is
the kind of merchandise
you showcase.

Listen here, Mrs. Horowitz,
I triple check everything
I show you.
636
00:53:34,709 --> 00:53:37,709
That's a perfectly
sound diamond
in a perfectly sound ring.

Mm-hmm. It's perfectly sound.
And perfectly boring.

It's a classic,

644
00:54:06,208 --> 00:54:09,583
And the point of a classic
is its steadfastness.
645

a chance ?

Do you pray,

No.

Have you been
to the mikveh ?
Not this month.

shabbes candles ?
- If I get in on time.

At home.

- At home ?
- Now we're getting somewhere.
825
01:07:25,917 --> 01:07:29,166
Where exactly is it
that we're getting ?
Well, it's clear...
826
01:07:29,250 --> 01:07:32,375
that you've been neglecting
your relationship
with the Almighty,
827
01:07:32,458 --> 01:07:35,083
which, in psychological terms,
is translated into behavior--
I thought--
828
01:07:35,166 --> 01:07:37,834

he was going to be impartial.

I don't see.
830

He's taking God's side, Mendel.
That's whose side he's taking.
831
01:07:43,458 --> 01:07:47,333
You can't choose sides
with the Lord,
Mrs. Horowitz.
832

You don't tell me
what I can and can't do.

I'm gonna pick whatever side
I want.
834
01:07:54,500 --> 01:07:57,000
And if God happens to be
on the other end,
835
01:07:57,083 --> 01:08:00,083

it's gonna be.

you talk, I mean,
don't you fear God ?
837

I'm tired of being afraid.
838
01:08:10,208 --> 01:08:14,375
If I'm so offensive
in His eyes,
839
01:08:14,458 --> 01:08:16,583

what He wants to me.

anymore.

we don't suffer
because we ask for it.

that's just the way it is.
845

There is no reason
for it.
846

it's certainly something...

that neither you nor you
knows anything about.
848
01:08:44,291 --> 01:08:47,500

on ourselves, Mrs. Horowitz,
when we sin against God.

of the designer's skill

893

It's a little confusing.
894

I mean, to someone
with a smidgen of taste, this
work might border on kitsch.
895

But there's a purity
to the classical influences.
896
01:11:50,125 --> 01:11:53,625
And a boldness
to the modern flourishes
that totally belies that.
897
