Original subtitles

Thank you.

Goodbye.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Goodbye.

Thank you for flying with us.

Right here, thanks.

- Well? - What? - Did you ask her?

- Oh, yeah. - What did she say?

She gave me the vet's number, what's the big deal?

- Is she still at work? - Bambi! I don't think so.

I forgot about the cleaning lady.

Hello.

Hello.

- Give me the pencil. - It's a pen. - It's a pencil to me.

You could answer when someone says hello.

And you could stop sending him over with dumb vet questions.

- I'm trying to help. - Are you from the Red Cross?

Gila. - If you're sick of me I'll move to a hotel.

- You can be alone, the way you like it. - Who said I was sick of you?

So what do you want?

Someone's talking to you.

One hour, okay?

One hour.

- You go? - Yes, yes, one hour.

You go, he stay?

Yes, yes. One hour, okay?

Oh, you come back one hour?

Yes, yes. Okay? Please.

Okay. Fine, fine.

Where to?

Practice, faculty meeting, errands. Go to sleep. Bye.

Where is your mommy?

She didn't come back?

What's going on?

Where is his mother?

She hasn't come back?

Did you try her cell phone?

100 times: "number is unavailable"...

He's been staring at the table for an hour.

- Maybe something happened to her. - What do you mean?

- Why are you whispering? - Don't know, you started.

You'll never believe it...

I'm taking that rag from him, it's annoying.

Leave it, you're scaring him as it is.

- You want to manage things here, dear? - Do you?

You managed your marriage, look what happened.

- See, Miri? - I'm dialing again, stop it.

You can talk to me that way when you're 18,

- I won't be around then. - You can leave now.

Cool.

Not available.

What's his name anyway?

Mao Tse-Tung, how should I know?

What is your name?

Where do you live?

He's Chinese, Gila.

Me, Gila... You?

He doesn't speak English.

Okay, I understand, relax.

Oh. Hi, Izzy.

Someone has to watch Bambi.

My shift starts and he keeps throwing up.

- You could've asked me. - I thought you were at Amit's.

- Isn't that the cleaning lady's son? - Yes. - Where is she?

- That's what we'd like to know. - I don't understand.

She went out for an hour and never came back.

- She's not answering her cell phone. - Maybe she's been arrested.

Even if she were arrested, she'd call, genius.

- Aren't you late for your shift? - I am now.

I'm sick of it. Get a divorce already.

Bambi, no!

Okay. I have an exam tomorrow.

It was... thrilling to meet you. Bye.

Unavailable.

- Yaeli, when is your exam? - 8am.

Call me when you leave. We'll go together?

Stop being mad at me, I'm still your mom.

Maybe she was arrested.

- You said she'd call even if she was. - Okay, so I was wrong.

- Call the police. - I'm not calling the police.

Why not?

I don't know.

- If you're afraid, I'll call. - Where does she live?

Maybe the address is in his pocket or around his neck?

Around his neck? What is he, a dog?

If you want me to call the police, wake me up.

You're going to sleep? Now?

Yes.

Noodles?

Nice noodles.

Nice noodles.

I can call the police if you want.

Okay, call.

- What did you say her name was? - Liang Su. Liang Su Min.

- Su what? - Liang Su Min.

Not a word about the boy, okay?

What? Has she called?

Izzy called immigration police.

Oh, really?

- Her name is not on their records. - You sure?

Yes.

- So she wasn't arrested. - No.

Did he fall asleep?

Turn off the light.

Turn off his light, or do you have to hear it from Izzy?

When I asked you to call the police, you didn't want to.

So you're settling the score with me now?

Turn off the light, get the phone, we'll call some hospitals.

Hello?

I'm on the balcony. What's going on?

We tried all the hospitals last night. Nothing.

- Did you get some sleep? - A little.

- Can I help? - You are helping.

Walk around the back.

- What is this? - No, no... Don't close the...!

- What happened? - We're locked in. - What?

Don't you have a key?

- Dafna, get off the phone. - Just a minute!

What's up? - I can't reach you, that's what's up.

- My battery's dead. Did she call? - No.

I've been stuck at home all day with that alien.

- Show some responsibility! - You think I'm playing games here?

We're thinking what to do. You could've called me here.

I tried. It's busy all the time.

Where is he?

Who? - Mao Tse Tung. Your cleaning lady's son.

- At home. - Alone? - What else, with you?

- What if he tries to run away? - I put on the Kids Channel,

- the door is locked. - Where is your brain?

- Who are you calling? - Home.

He might think it's his mom and pick up.

Talking about responsibility...

- Problem. - Great.

- I'm going back to check. - It's locked! - Hold it!

Don't you dare tell the police about him. - What, then?

All I have is that number. I need an address, something.

We were discussing it before you came and locked us up.

- Dafna knows... What's his name? - Arnon.

From Cellcom, he can match an address to this number.

- One Sweet n'Low? - Yes.

- Then call the guy. - Relax. I left him a message.

You hire someone and you don't know where she lives?

I feel like smoking, do you mind?

Batya, when's that key getting here?

Get rid of that hairclip already!

You're a knockout, why do you insist on looking like a librarian?

- Look who's here! - Gadi, finally! - Thank you.

Gadi's here.

Dafna, please, call your friend at Cellcom.

I told you not to leave him. Who leaves a little boy alone?

As if you're the perfect mother.

- Do me a favor and drive. - Where to?

- You want me to drive? - I want you to lay off.

- Hold it, there's Bambi! - Where? - Stop!

Bambi, what are you doing here?

There he is.

Let me.

Hey, wait a minute!

Stop, you little moron!

Come on.

Take a bath.

Your mom must have taught you how to do it.

Gila.

Bambi, no!

Can you please help me?

- What's wrong? - "As if you're the perfect mother."

What's that? - I may not be perfect, but at least I'm a mother.

You think you're allowed to do whatever you want?

I don't have to put up with your shit just 'cause you're a widow.

You're criticizing me as a mother? Where does that come from?

Don't make me laugh.

"Immigration Administration."

I don't understand your mom.

She could at least call.

- If his mom comes, give her that. - Cool.

What else?

- Oh, around noon, heat up his rice. - Cool.

And refill his water.

"Refill his water". What is he, a dog?

And call her number every two hours.

Okay.

So what can you tell me about Dostoyevsky?

Did you say something?

I am a Chinese boy.

I am a Chinese boy.

Okay. And what's your name, Chinese boy?

- I am a Chinese boy. - Yes, I get that.

- Anything else you wanna say? - I am a Chinese boy.

Cool.

Izzy...

Here.

What's this? - To help you with your communication problems.

At least you can try solving them with a dictionary.

If only you would sit down and talk.

About what? About it being over?

You said that last time, then you got back together.

How about going back to that therapist?

Last time she almost killed that loser.

Then go to someone else.

We don't have to, we have you.

Great. Mock the only friend you've got left...

Slow down, class is over, but your whole life's ahead of you.

Something wrong?

- I want to talk to you. - I have a class in 10 minutes.

Okay then, later.

What do you want, Izzy?

I thought we might try therapy again.

Fine, let's try.

Got scared? What's this game? As if you really want to try.

- Has she been at it again? - She suggested.

So I thought you spoke to her and you might want to

but you're afraid to say it.

I don't understand. Come again, you wanna go back to therapy.

- Not really... - What then?

I'll make Yaeli happy, and it's important to Miri.

So we should go for Miri's sake?

No, I didn't say that.

We should fix our marriage for my sister's peace of mind?

Why did you marry me, for Miri's sake?

Answer me. Why did you marry me, for Miri's sake?

You think I'm stupid? I married you because I loved you.

So don't force yourself to keep on loving me for Miri's sake.

She's been spaced out for years, but you?

Can't you see she's manipulating you?

You want therapy? Go by yourself.

You want couple's therapy? Go with Miri.

Interesting, Babayov? Your parents never fight?

- Where's the soda for 2B? - Oh, right.

What's wrong with you today?

So sorry.

- Anything else? - It's okay, thank you.

"Ni dziao shen ma..."

What's that, "mingzi"?

Chinese is a melodic language, you have to sing it.

Then they answer...

"My name is" - Matti.

"My name is" - Miri. Like this?

You're Gila Calderon's sister, aren't you?

House 6, entrance 5.

Matti? Matti Gueta?

Wow, how you've grown!

What an idiot I am, of course you have.

What are you up to?

Nothing special, traveling around, doing some writing. How about you?

Hold on, you're not... Are you THAT Matti Gueta?

I don't believe it, I read your articles all the time.

Wow... I meet your mother in the supermarket sometimes.

How is Alon? He is still an orthodox Jew?

Yeah, in Jerusalem, with his six kids.

- How's your sister? - Where are the drinks?

I'll be right out.

Okay, I won't disturb you. Bye.

- Say hi to Gila from me. - Will.

Hello, Mili.

- I don't believe it. - Mirrri... Rrr.

- Rrrri? - Rrri.

Lee-Yu.

- No way, is that his name? - The boy's an ace.

Here Bambi!

Bravo!

- He's smiling. - Bambi, no!

I fly to Milan and back, and the kid speaks Hebrew.

Don't get excited. Soon as you left, he started going:

"I am a Chinese boy, I am a Chinese boy."

But he only knows 5 words. Forget about it.

Don't be so sure.

What's that?

- He's 6 years old. - Wow!

Lee-Yu, "Ni ju dezai ner?"

- What's funny? - You are.

You might as well ask him where he lives in Hebrew.

- What is Sileizon? - I don't know, but he understands me.

Slow down. Slow down.

Miri, what are you looking for?

- Why don't you answer? - "Name of the street".

That "Sileizon" again...

Check out his technique!

- Miri, look at that Noodle. - Get off me. - Excuse me!

Where is the "Where"? There!

- Miri, what did you ask him? - What did you tell him?

- "Where's Mom"... - Great, break his heart, why not?

Dafna is downstairs, she found the address.

- That's Moledet Street. - Turn right.

- Gila, park here. - Cool it, he doesn't live here.

But this is the address, Moledet 5, isn't it? - Yes, 5.

If this were his address, you think he'd still be sitting in the car?

Yeah, whatever.

Come on.

Come on.

Isn't this your house?

- He doesn't live here. - No shit...

Where are we?

Is that Levinsky Street? Levinsky and...

- Pull over, we'll ask. - Good luck.

Dafna, watch the car! Come on! C'mon! Get out!

What is this?!

Miri!

Over here! Gila!

Here! Come!

- Gila! - Excuse me.

Wait, there's something here.

But there's something here!

Come on.

Excuse me, sorry, excuse me...

Come on. Faster.

They take the Chinese people on Monday.

Take? Who take?

His mother and others. Illegal. Take.

Where?

You look in the immigration police.

Immigration police? Are you sure?

Yes, yes, I'm sure.

If no mother, you keep the boy.

Don't let them take the boy.

- Come on! - We have to go back, Gila.

- What for? - His mother wrote something.

We have to go back before they erase it.

We'll go to the police and get it over with.

Forget it! We know where she is!

"Asirei Zion street"! That's what he keeps saying. "Sileizon."

He was just trying to tell us where he lives.

Liang Su Min? Are you sure that's her name? - Yes.

We've had a few illegal residents, but not by that name.

I have a Jo An Lee.

And that one...

Chan Li Fang.

Let me see that.

That's her. That's her!

- But her name isn't Chan Li Fang. - Maybe not to you, but she is to us.

May I?

Chan Li Fang. That's the name in her forged passport.

- Okay, where can we find her now? - Now?

- Now you can't find her. - Why not?

- Because she's in Beijing now. - Where?

Beijing, the capital of China.

Mind if I smoke?

You flew her to Beijing?

We arrested her, the Ministry of Interior flew her.

May I?

These Chinese are such a pain, they don't understand a word.

But she put on some show.

Screaming, crying, as if she had a kid here.

The stories they sell us.

What if it isn't a story, don't you check?

A woman with a child won't walk around without an ID to prove it.

What if something happened to her, what if she lost it...

Did you understand her? Was there a translator?

There was a hearing.

She signed her own deportation order.

- I assume a translator was there. - You ASSUME he was there?

Excuse me, what's your job, please?

- I'm a teacher, why? - Do I tell you how to teach?

Don't tell me how to do my job, okay?

You said this woman worked for you?

- For my sister. - For you?

Then you would know if she had a son, wouldn't you?

- That's right. - See?

But you have to help me find her there.

"There" is China, That's a billion people.

We got her on a plane, you want us to follow up

on how she integrates in society?

- But she left something with me! - Excuse me.

- Drop it. - Hello. Yes.

How much time?

Okay.

Anyway, she got on the plane this morning.

It's better than rotting away in custody.

She forgot something, so what? Be glad you have a souvenir,

Come, Noodle.

Lee-Yu.

That's enough.

Stop it!

I want to go back too.

I want to go back too, I can't.

Stop it, already! I can't go back there!

Enough! You shut up too! Stop it!

Listen, young man.

- Mama is gone! Mama is gone! - Miri!

Mama China.

Don't you get it? Mama China.

Mama China. Mama is not here.

Mama gone. No Mama.

Mama on airplane. Airplane. China. Understand?

What are you doing!?

Why do I deserve this?

Why do YOU deserve it? What should he say?

Do you want me to take him to the police?

Why not?

Because.

There are organizations that help foreign workers.

And they'll stick him in some institution?

He might be on a plane to China before you know it.

How? With a bus ticket?

He has nothing. Not even underwear, who'll give him a passport?

The Chinese Embassy can arrange a passport.

Then what?

Go find a mother among a billion people.

Nice. You've blocked all possibilities.

As usual.

"As usual"?

Have you spoken to Gila?

About what? - About going back to couples' therapy.

Are you insane? In the middle of the night,

in the middle of all this mess, you're at it again?

What's wrong with you? Whenever we start talking about your problems,

you switch to my problems with Gila.

- As if everything's okay with you. - Yes, everything's okay.

- Oh, really? - Yes.

Really?

- Yes. - Wonderful.

So it's okay to talk to you about everything.

About Aviv, Micky, kids... About...

Never mind.

What do you want, Izzy?

I want to help you with your problem with this kid,

and not have you helping me with my problems.

So you go to sleep, and I'll stay here to make sure

that your little friend Noodle doesn't jump off the balcony.

Don't argue.

Gila.

- He fell asleep next to me, that's all. - Do you mind?

Sileizon.

Sileizon.

What?

I wanted to tell you we're going to Sileizon.

Are you nuts?

I must take a picture of what she wrote before it's gone.

They went ballistic yesterday. I'm not going back there.

You don't have to come, I'm just informing you.

This is the "on" button.

See? Zoom in, zoom out.

Now, this is the most important button...

Shit! Excuse me.

Let's put this on you.

- Do you understand? - "...derstand"?

Nineteen, twenty, twenty-one.

How many does it take? We got the drift.

It's really dangerous to leave you two alone. - Stop it.

Nothing happened. He was tired, so he fell asleep next to me.

I was talking about Noodle, not Izzy. "The guilty dog barks".

Do you suspect me of...?

- Sandwich and juice. - 12 shekels.

- I don't believe it. - It's rather cute.

Just what your brother-in-law needs, a flight attendant to take care of him.

Coffee, tea, newspaper, massage. You're a match made in heaven.

Come on.

Your sandwich, I forgot. Want it?

- Where to? - To print the pictures.

Miri.

Miri.

Miri! What are you making a scene for?

"A match made in heaven"? Your husband and me?

How could you even think that? I'm your sister!

You just fell asleep together...

And even if he appeals to you sometimes, it's only human.

If it bugs you that I talk to him, say it, don't fabricate romances.

And if you think I'm a flying waitress, look at yourself.

A 40 year old teacher in sweatsuits,

trying to look like your students. It isn't less pathetic.

- I'm pathetic? You're pathetic! - Right, I forgot, I'm pathetic.

"Shriveling up before your eyes” and "too bad I closed shop".

- It really is too bad! - So now you feel sorry for me.

I don't have to, you do a great job at it yourself.

I feel sorry for myself?

What do you want from me?

I want you to stop match-making, preaching and judging me

for sitting home for the past 7 years,

- it's not my fault that I lost them. - Exactly!

You didn't kill your husbands, give the Israeli wars some credit.

Shut up, Gila! - Sure, the great taboo, out of limits, right?

You insist on staying stuck, so don't complain that people pity you.

Where's all this criticism coming from?

Look at your own perfect marriage before you teach me how to live.

I don't have to look, you do it for me. - What do I do? - You look.

At what? - I don't know, I don't remember what I was saying.

I'm sorry you were offended.

Sorry I was offended or sorry you offended me?

Sorry I was born, okay?

What are you looking at, mister?

Noodle.

Listen, the boy has a promising future as a photographer.

But if he can't read, why did his mother leave him

- this message? - Maybe the Chinese Embassy...?

Wait a minute! Let's hear what Dafna has to say. - Thank you.

Assuming the boy was born in China, even if he has no papers,

we go to the consulate, tell them the story, he tells them his name,

they check, then they issue a travel document in China

- and send him home. - Personally, I like this one best.

- Let me see. - Who told you that?

I know someone... Enough with the pessimism, Miri.

We'll go to the consulate next week... - Why not today?

They have some holiday, it's closed.

Great. So we also can't get them to translate it.

- He's on Sabbatical abroad. - Who?

Dafna's friend from the university.

Doesn't she know someone else who speaks Chinese? - I don't know.

Bring some nuts on your way back.

Wait a minute, go back.

- Was that Channel 8? - Let go!

It's him.

"Matti Gueta, traveler and author."

- Want some salad? - I swear it's him, it's Matti.

Don't know him. I'm making a salad.

Sure you know him. Matti, Alon Gueta's brother!

- Great. - I met him yesterday on board.

This is a sign, Gila, I swear.

- I've got to get his number. - What for?

- Sure you don't want some salad? - We just ate.

He speaks Chinese, Gila.

Hello. Matti Gueta in Tel Aviv?

What are you looking for outside of Israel?

Nothing specific...

He's adorable. He taught me some Chinese.

He also says hello.

I think that by the way I live, through this never-ending journey,

I create a certain dialogue with myself...

Yeah, right.

Answering machine.

Hi, Matti, this is Miri Calderon, house 6, entrance 5.

Hi, Matti... He's home.

It's... Yes, from the... flight.

- Try to be nice, okay? - We'll see.

Hi, Matti.

Hi, Matti. It's been a while.

So, where are we going?

- 8 Mikveh Israel, near the central... - We know where it is.

The writing isn't clear, but there's an address in Beijing.

It could be a store or a restaurant called "Hong Shuang Shi".

"Hong Shuang Shi" means "double happiness".

It's the name of a place.

The mother must've wanted him to look for her there.

What do we need this Matti for?

We could've gone to a Chinese restaurant ourselves.

We're not from Beijing, our family is from Xian

and we don't know anyone in Beijing.

I have friends in Beijing who'd be glad to help, I think.

Okay. Okay, Andrea, I'll pass you on to Jacob Wong now,

he'll do better at giving you the address.

Lucky we found this guy.

Kim and Andrea are going to look for the place now.

"Double Happiness".

Gila.

Chopsticks.

What?

He's teaching you how to eat.

He's teaching us how to eat or how to spit?

You've got to slurp at the right moment.

You're such an expert, let's see you do it.

- "Get to work", he's telling you. - Okay...

Matti, a call from Beijing.

Andrea.

Oh, yes, Kim. What's...

- What did he say? - "Mama, when you come get me?"

What do you mean, she said he's not Chinese?

He's not a Chinese citizen, he was born here. - So he's Israeli?

Don't you get it?

He's not Israeli, she didn't get him papers. - Why not?

'Cause then they'd find out she's illegal and deport her.

So we'll go to the Chinese Embassy.

They'll ask for a birth certificate.

- So we'll go to the Ministry of Interior. - And tell them what?

We need Dafna's help.

I don't get it, this boy's been living here for 6 years

and doesn't speak a word of Hebrew. It makes no sense.

It's a fact. He doesn't speak Hebrew.

You don't speak Hebrew.

I am a Chinese boy.

It's nice up here.

- Come on, one big ego trip. - What have you got against him?

Look how far we've come since yesterday. - Right.

4000 miles separate the boy from his mother. That's damn far.

Your drink is here.

- For you. - Thank you.

Wait a minute, I've seen this. I've seen it... at your place.

- What are you talking about? - Of course! At your place!

Maybe Izzy bought it. Thanks anyway.

So you don't have two copies, God forbid. Chai?

Listen to this.

"Physical distance plays havoc with memory, belonging, identity."

"When you travel, you see whatever and whoever you could have become."

He's so full of it...

"The way to nowhere". The way to nothing...

Why, it's beautiful. Listen.

"In plains of silk, cracked riverbeds glitter"

"and waves of wind collect in lakes of sand."

In plains of silk...

"In plains of silk..." Cut it out.

"Poplars scream to the skies..."

- Cut it out! - "A camel ran off..." - Gila, I'm warning you.

"From Matti the bluff.."

The research.

First of all, the boy needs a paper proving that he exists.

Isn't it obvious? - They need proof that he was born somewhere.

Without papers, the Chinese Embassy won't issue

travel documents to China, because they have no proof

that his mother is really his mother.

So first we have to prove that his mother is his mother. - Exactly.

DNA test? - Yes. And if's not easy, not cheap and takes time.

- How much time? - I don't know.

The mother also has to be tested in China. - Then what?

Then... we find a lawyer who's also a notary

to sign a statement that they're mother and son. - And?

Then we get started. - Get started? What have we been doing till now?

And most important, it's all speculations.

- Why? - Since so many permits, papers,

different parties are involved, a million things can go wrong.

Everyone I spoke to said the Chinese are tough,

their bureaucracy is insane,

- and ours is not much better. - How long will it take?

Hard to say. A few months, maybe a year.

A year?

Meanwhile, who assumes responsibility? - You do.

Me? - Look, you can leave him with the police,

but who knows where he'll end up.

There is no system for these kids.

A social worker will leave him with some foster family

or dump him in some institution.

It would be best if you could convince them

to appoint you as his temporary guardian.

Dafna, I don't like it.

Why don't you try to come up with something less distressing?

Sorry, honey. If you don't like what I'm doing, do it yourself.

He's watching you clean, it could remind him of his mom.

Should we stop cleaning then?

Why don't we stop breathing? His mother breathes too.

I know it's not easy, but you need to get this.

- What? - You're all he's got now, Miri,

Micky.

Micky?

Micky.

Micky, Mili?

Micky soldier.

- Soldier? - Soldier.

- In the army. - Army...

Aviv, - Aviv?

Aviv pilot, - Pilot?

Mili... baby?

No baby.

Since the new guy stepped in, you're out of reach.

- I'm in trouble, Izzy. - What is it?

I fell in love with him a little bit.

But you hardly...

You've only known each other for two days. - Two days?

- Who are you talking about? - Who are YOU talking about?

- Who do you think? - That traveler translator guy.

- What's his name? - What?

I'm talking about the boy.

So? Have you decided what to do?

Technically this boy doesn't exist so let's keep it that way until...

Shit! New York next week? I'm not going to New York now.

- Oh my god! - What?

The second of the month... Beijing...

- Hello. - Hello.

Hi, Noodle.

This is for you.

- "Thank..." - "You!"

Did you get my chandelier?

Look, that suitcase is one big chandelier. - Guess what?

You finally quit.

Beijing, in 10 days. With a two-day layover. Beijing!

- Did you request it? - No, a coincidence.

No such thing. - So she'll meet his mother, say "hi".

You can take her DNA sample and save the postage.

Miri China.

Noodle come.

But it's impossible. I can't take you.

I can't, I'm sorry. I can't.

I'm sorry.

I can't.

I think he cursed you.

A historical moment, even Dafna's speechless.

Right now she's wondering who to call.

Not easy, eh? Try under "Magicians".

- Now you've gone too far. - "Now", as opposed to when?

Are you insulted? - At least I'm thinking of ways to help.

All you care about is your next cynical remark,

it's tiring, Gila.

- You have your good points. - Thank you, my friends.

- Where's Miri? - Gila, are you coming?

- I'm beat. - Go, you've hardly slept.

- Hey, what about my chandelier? - I left it by the sink.

- Where's Noodle? - Where indeed?

Miri, you left all your stuff here.

Why did you leave all your stuff?

You okay?

Gila come, China.

- Bambi, no... - How will you pass security here?

Here is fine. The problem is Beijing customs, if anything.

And who'll take care of him during the flight?

He'll stay in the suitcase? Throwing him off this balcony is more humane.

I can fly to Mongolia earlier than I planned.

If I'm on the plane, no one will notice if he joins me after takeoff.

Night flights aren't full.

Do you think this is some Boy Scouts' trip?

Do you know what the Chinese do to people who disregard their laws?

Until recently they used to cut off thieves' hands. - Got that?

Wanna be El-Al's first amputee flight attendant?

If he hears about this, he'll freak out. - Who? - Guess.

Izzy, wait a sec!

I'm going down. He's the El-Al specialist.

Let's go.

- So that's your Marco Polo? - I need to talk to you.

So that's Izzy...

I imagined him differently.

- Does he know? - Know what? - Cut it out, Gila.

He knows in general, he doesn't know it's you.

I really want to help.

It's been years, I didn't think you'd mind. - I don't.

- So what's the problem? - No problem.

Why did you split up?

- Was there someone else? - No, I didn't have anyone else.

You were a one time slip up.

Your sister knows, right? What does she say?

You have plans for her?

- Is it a problem if I do? - It's a problem if she gets hurt.

As far as I remember, the last time we met,

you were the one who hurt me.

So you're here for revenge?

- Wanna know why I'm here? - No.

I don't want to hear.

You've totally lost it, they'll throw you in jail.

No, Izzy, it's a great idea,

I've gone through many times without being checked.

Even if it goes wrong, at least the boy's in China.

- You'll get fired. - So? I'm sick of this job anyway.

Here Bambi!

And you don't mind breaking the law?

I have to get him to his mom, that's the only law I know now.

The way you look at him...

- What about it? - Why don't you keep him?

He has a mother.

- Forget it, I gave up on that long ago. - Gave up on what?

Kids.

- As if you didn't know. - Too bad.

What?

I'll miss you while you're in a Chinese prison.

Who'll save me from Gila?

What did he say?

He's not crazy about the idea.

Don't worry, I don't mind you talking.

I wish he and I could talk that way.

Maybe he should be your sister instead of me?

Maybe you should be his wife, you get along so well.

- Would you stop it already? - You're mad because I'm right.

I'm mad because you're totally wrong.

- I'm going with you. - Where? - China.

A. You'll need help, you're not tough enough.

And B.? - I'm not leaving you alone with that Matti guy.

- Gila. - Too late, I've made up my mind.

Why don't you just admit you need some action?

Do it again. Again.

Not bad.

Okay, Noodle?

- Yes. - Izzy?

- Yes. - Can you come over, please?

Your friend chickened out and the flight is in two hours.

I'll be right there.

Over there.

You're welcome to try.

Miri.

Miri, let me in.

You're not going...

Am I nuts? A child in a suitcase... Who needs this?

Are you afraid of getting caught?

You're afraid of losing the boy...

I don't know.

Maybe.

Whatever, I'm already used to it.

Used to what?

Losing someone.

Don't go.

I'll certainly be happy if you don't go.

Why?

Don't panic.

I just think that...

It's hard for me to give up on being near you.

My makeup is all messed up.

Sorry for the delay.

Let's go.

Where's my coat?

Hey midget, forget the old ladies and give us a hug.

Come visit sometimes, okay? Don't be a shit. - "Shit".

Yaeli, we're late.

You should've thought of that before...

What did you do to her in the bathroom?

Why?

Did she cry?

What if she did?

I don't remember when I've seen her crying.

Just because you don't see things doesn't mean they don't exist.

- Nice! - Where's Noodle?

He's here, but wait a minute, have a heart...

- I can go with the crew. - Why not ask them to carry your bag?

Cut the bullshit. Wait for Izzy.

- I'll be here in 20 minutes. - If I'm not here, I'm inside.

- Well? - What?

What did you say to Miri in the bathroom?

You told her that you love her?

As your ex-wife and future sister-in-law,

don't I deserve to know?

- Now you hate me. - I don't hate you,

- I'm just tired of your humor. - We're both tired, Izzy.

Too bad we've waited so long to admit it.

Remember that time?

That one time... with that guy.

Your childhood friend?

- Yeah. - Why do you bring it up now?

- Did you really forgive me? - I forgot all about it.

It was Matti.

It doesn't change anything.

I wanted you to know.

Some more information about our flight.

The plane isn't full, we have 12 passengers in business class

about 220 in economy class,

including a group of 30 foreign workers and 4 babies.

You're assigned according to seniority...

Are you coming?

No, don't wait for me, I have a ride. - Okay.

Okay, Noodle?

- Let me help you. - I'm fine.

Not that it wasn't good.

It was just impossible, you knew it.

Did you expect me to leave a husband and a child for you?

You don't have to explain, it's not that I'm devastated.

You don't seem too merry up in those Himalayas, judging by your book.

Why did you come? Why are you on this flight?

I'm meeting Yoko Ono in the Forbidden City, okay?

Relax, I'm not here because of you.

Always have to say the last word, huh? - Yes.

Fine.

Okay.

Good.

Uh huh.

- Great. - Bye.

What's that, Miri, running away from home?

My sister's on the flight, I'm helping her carry stuff,

Sorry.

- The magazines... in the container? - Yes, in the back.

Hello, how are you, sir?

57D.

Straight ahead, on the right.

- Hello, how are you? - This is my sister Gila. - Really?

- Hello, Gila. - Treat her well. - Don't worry.

- 26C in the aisle. - Have a nice flight.

Did you close the latches in the galley?

- I'll start with the aperitifs. - I'll get the Kits.

Where did he come from?

I'd like to know that too. I'll take him back.

Let's go over what I have to do at customs tomorrow.

Stop it, no one there will notice you.

They will, believe me.

What are you afraid of? Who smuggles things into China?

It's usually the opposite.

Ever been stopped by Chinese customs? - No.

So why should they stop you now?

Because. If something bad should happen, it'll happen to me.

Pretty hard to live this way, isn't it?

- What did you talk about? - Nothing special.

Miri, what did you talk about?

Would you tell me what you talked about? - Nothing.

Want to drink something?

Okay, fine, I understand. Bastard.

I knew he'd tell you.

Wanna know why I never told you?

Yes.

It was right after Aviv was killed.

You know how you were, I didn't want...

I didn't want to burden you with anything else.

And... It ended before it began anyway.

Did both of you... You had a thing with Matti?

That's what he told you, right? Isn't that what he told you?

You cheated on Izzy?

- Does he know? Izzy knows? - Yes, relax.

How come you haven't told me? I'm your sister!

You're not my sister, you're my marriage counselor.

Stop saying that. - I didn't tell you because I was embarrassed, okay?

- Of whom? - You.

I don't love him anymore, Miri.

Are you crying? Are you the only one allowed to?

Why did you stay together all these years? - We were afraid.

You know what it's like, you're just as stuck as I am.

Meanwhile our lives go by.

I'm tired of being afraid to admit it.

And I'm tired of being afraid of what you think.

What does it matter what I think?

It matters to me, more than you think.

But forget it, we've already decided.

Decided what?

To get a divorce.

What's going to happen now? What will you do?

I'll stop being afraid. I'll learn from you.

- Yeah, right. - Yes.

I'm a coward.

Not anymore.

Look what you're doing for this kid.

We've started our descent.

The seat-belt sign will be turned on shortly.

The weather in Beijing is fare, 15 degrees Centigrade...

Are you ready?

And you're not afraid?

"Fraid."

- Everything will be fine. - "Fine".

- Goodbye, boy. - "Goodbye boy."

Here Bambi. Here Bambi.

You okay, Miri?

Yeah, just a stomach ache.

Thief! Thief!

- He stole my pouch! - No, it's mine.

Isn't that your sister?

I know her, it's...

Give me that pouch!

Thief! Thief! Thief!

She won't find Kim and Andrea, their number is here.

In the bag?

Yes.

- So, you know him before? - Yes.

She's my girlfriend, I told you.

Why you steal her wallet?

Noodle okay?

Mama soon, okay?

Sorry, my sister.

- Where are you? - We're being held up.

No talking, please.

Tell her not to wait.

I must get out of here. What's Kim's number?

No talking, please. - No number. Go with the crew, we'll get there.

- The crew's left. - Take a cab.

No telephone. No talking, please.

Stop it, what's the matter with you?

Gotta go, we'll meet at the hotel.

Sorry.

Hello. Beijing? Beijing?

Come, come! The minibus.

- It's okay. - No, no... - It's okay.

Excuse me.

Can you take me to... Jimen hotel?

Okay. No problem.

Excuse me, do you know this place?

Double Happiness Restaurant.

Can you take me there?

Don't worry, miss, we find it for you.

Okay, we take you now.

"Double Happiness"!

- Thank you. - No problem. You're welcome.

Hello?

Miri? We're okay.

So are we.

She says she owes you her life, something like that.

You can visit Lee-Yu whenever you like.

He's like your own son.

Noodle come.

Goodbye boy.

Thanks, Matti.

Forget it. I had fun.

Bye, Gila.

It was

- interesting to meet again. - Yeah, well, bye.

He's nuts about you.

I have no idea why.

See you at the airport.
