I'll grab us this table. -Okay.

Two cappuccinos, please

Two cappuccinos.

Hey, it's you.

It's you, wow...

I can't believe it, you're a hero.

Can I shake your hand?

Thank you.

Wow, this is so... -Thanks.

You're a big hero, this is so exciting.

Okay.

Um...

Anything else with your coffee? -No.

5 bucks.

Hey, it's on me. -No, out of the question.

Um... Talya.

Do you have 5 dollars?

Where's the money I gave you?

Does that matter right now?

No, I'm just curious, I gave you a $100 bill yesterday.

It's in my other pants, okay?

I'll bring the change with your coffee.

Okay?

Does it matter where the money is?

Hello.

They were in captivity for 17 years.

We didn't know their fate for 17 years.

At first we waited, then we yelled at rallies,

and eventually we lost all hope.

All of us, except for one woman.

Hello. -Hello, Gadi.

You did not give up all those years.

Time went by, and you wouldn't let us forget.

And now he's here, with us.

I truly am happy, I...

But I didn't fight alone.

So many people, from politicians to...

to people I don't even know. People that...

year after year put stickers on their cars,

came to the rallies and demonstrations.

We have a wonderful country.

I also need to point out that we invited Uri Zach

to join us too

but he declined.

I could've told you he wouln't come. He's pretty shy.

Tell me about your first meeting with your children.

He didn't even know Hatzav. I mean...

He didn't even know.

I mean, he knew I was pregnant

but he didn't know if it was a boy or a girl.

Were you surprised?

Yes.

What are you planning to do with...

this new life of yours?

Gadi, what a weird question.

It's all...

He just came back.

He still has time to decide. He needs to readjust.

Actually, I think...

I'm going to start working with my friend Ofer

who heads an ad agency.

We always talked about it...

back in...

our army days, about starting a business together.

And he did it.

So...

I might want to start working there.

You don't waste any time, huh?

Not a second. -No.

Enough of my time has been wasted.

Talya, are you happy with the way Nimrode is...

I'll support anything that makes him happy.

Nimrode, I can only imagine

what you went through in captivity.

Can you tell us about one particularly difficult moment?

When Israel retreated from Lebanon.

The Syrians had a huge party.

They told us you left us, that you forgot us,

that the State of Israel doesn't care about us.

We felt...

That you may never come back.

That you forgot us.

We felt...

that...

we're completely alone.

Talya is...

You don't have to turn it off.

I feel sick.

I brought you some things from your house.

So you'd feel more comfortable

now that the doctors recommend you stay here for a few days.

Psychological observation.

It's bullshit.

I don't need any psychological observation.

Why don't you stay a few days?

Even just to rest.

I'll rest at home.

Yael...

You scared me, I don't understand why...

I guess I wanted to die.

I don't think so.

If you wanted to die you wouldn't have taken pills

and then called an ambulance.

I didn't call an ambulance.

Then who did?

Prisoners of War

Uri...

Uri, can you hear me?

I'll be back at three.

Sometimes when I felt I was going crazy with...

loneliness, with missing all of you, I'd shut my eyes real hard

and imagine I was sitting here.

Right here, looking out this window like I'm doing right now.

Smelling the cypress trees, breathing the air.

Then Mom would come in and ask me to go help you in the store

so you could finish early

and we could all have dinner together.

So, are you coming?

Where?

The grocery store, where else?

I need your help.

You can't stay here your whole life.

Come.

It'll do you some good to work a little at the store.

It would help me too.

She sent you to spy on me.

It had nothing to do with dinner.

Do you remember Kochi?

Kochi.

Your cashier?

Yes. Your mother was certain that she and I... You know...

Did anything ever happen?

Never.

Your mother was too scary. She would've killed me.

Let's go.

Come on.

Where are you running to? Wait for me.

I'm not running. I'm late for work.

And I made some plans with a friend later on.

What do you think about the interview?

Huh?

Talya...

Why are you so upset? What's bothering you?

I'm not upset. I'm tired.

Yeah, I didn't sleep very well either.

When did you even talk to him? -Who?

Ofer. Who.

So that's what this is about?

When were you planning on telling me?

It was only yesterday. -Why didn't you tell me?

Don't I deserve to know?

I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd react just like this.

Oh, my reaction is the problem.

Not the fact that you didn't consult me.

I don't need your permission to work.

My opinion, Nimrode.

I am your wife, after all. It would've been nice if...

All my friends have careers.

I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about spending time with me,

with the kids, before you spend your days with Ofer.

Besides, do you remember what happened with the reporters?

I don't think you're ready.

But I think I am.

Ilan doesn't think you're ready either.

What do I care what Ilan thinks?

Why do you keep talking to him about me?

You should care. He understands.

Well, I don't care, I don't want to hear it.

I am ready.

You're wrong! -Don't yell.

All I'm saying is... -Don't yell.

Nimrode, you just came back from...

You're telling me where I came back from?

Do you know where I came back from?

I'll do whatever I want. You hear me?

Whatever I want.

I don't need your opinion or your stinking allowance.

What are you talking about?

Is everything okay, Dad?

And I'm the one going to see a shrink...

Mom, I may be staying at a friend's house tonight

in Tel Aviv.

Assholes.

Nimrode...

Nimrode, open up.

Nimrode, I need to drive Dana and I don't want to leave like this.

Nimrode, I'm sorry. Come on.

I'm just worried. If you had told me...

You sprung this on me on live TV, that's all.

Of course you can do whatever you want, I...

You have nightmares,

symptoms, and I thought...

we should look into that together.

But if you think it's under control, then I trust you.

I don't want Dana to be late, so...

Please don't be mad at me.

We can keep on not talking

but it'll be a huge waste of your parents' money.

Or we can talk about... why you're here.

Do you know why I'm here?

Your mom told me that...

That what?

Do you know why you're here?

Not really.

And if you had to guess?

Every now and then, I... smoke.

But I didn't know a psychologist can help with that.

You're here 'cause you like to sleep with men who are too old for you.

I didn't know there was a law against bad taste in men.

There isn't. -Cool.

Otherwise, I'd spend my whole life in jail.

Are we done?

Look, I treat many people that are...

addicted to sex.

Sex is good, but being addicted to sex isn't.

Do you understand the difference?

No.

I'm both stupid and a whore.

And I'm not addicted to sex.

How old were you when you started being sexually active?

14.

You?

With whom?

A neighbor.

Tell me about it.

How deep into details do you want me to go, Dr. Ostrovski?

I don't want you to enjoy the story too much.

I want to understand,

are you flirting with me?

What if I am?

It's a worthless effort.

I understand what you're saying, but...

it doesn't go hand in hand with the fact that every time you look down

at your notepad you stop for a second on my chest.

Excuse me?

I don't know what you mean.

I mean

instead of fucking with my brain, there's another option,

here, now.

On the carpet...

On your desk, against the wall, however you want it.

And in an hour when my mom comes back, you'll get 400 shekels for it.

What do you say?

Good deal, huh?

I'll let you in on a little secret.

People...

are not as original as they think they are.

Meaning?

Meaning, that little performance of yours.

Do you know how many times I've heard it this week alone?

It would've been more original

if you answered my questions honestly.

Now let's talk about your father.

How old were you when he went missing?

Uri...

I'm going to Jacob to smoke.

Are you going to be okay? -Yes.

You can close the store until I get back

if you don't want to deal with any people.

Okay.

My name is Zohar Lavi and I'm a Girl Scout.

Sorry, the store's closed.

Come back later, okay?

We heard you were here and wanted to ask you to come talk to our group.

Would you please leave?

I can't talk now.

We meet every Tuesday at five.

No, thanks.

The store's closed.

Go.

Let's go, he's not worth it.

The store's closed. I already told your friends. Please leave.

What?

What do you want?

You're my uncle, right?

I'm Assaf.

Where's Grandpa? Smoking?

What...

What are you doing here?

Since you came back, my mom is always sad.

I...

Did you do something to her?

I think you should go home now.

Dad...

Grandpa...

He'll be back later.

I came to invite you to my Bar Mitzvah party.

I don't think it's such a good idea, I can't come.

But it's my Bar Mitzvah. And I'm inviting you.

You have to come.

No... but thank you.

It's not a good idea.

You.

Come with me.

Yalla!

Get up!

Wash your face.

Wash it!

Uri.

Surprise.

Hey. -Hey.

How did you...

Guilty as charged.

Pardon.

I brought a picnic lunch.

All I need is someone

to help me eat all this.

Can I steal him for a bit?

And things are working out?

Sometimes it's very strange.

I'm sure he feels the same way.

Suddenly I have someone in my house.

Sometimes I wake up at night thinking,

who is this man sleeping next to me?

That happened to me too when Rafi was alive.

It's natural, it happens to everyone.

I don't know, if I met him today for the first time...

He also has this thing about money.

About me paying for everything.

It hurts his ego.

I know it's horrible, but...

sometimes I think it's all been a bad dream.

The kidnapping?

Him coming back.

A bad dream?

Don't get me wrong, I...

I'm very happy.

But...

I'm afraid I grew so used to the old way, that...

He's a burden.

Sometimes I want to yell at him, what are you doing in my house?

In my bed? Sitting on my toilet?

Daphna, am I horrible?

What? Aren't you supposed to say...

how natural this all is and that...

I'm not a witch?

You're not a witch.

Thank you.

But you're spoiled.

I'm sorry, Talya, I have no more pity to offer you.

Do you know what I'd give to spend one more minute with Rafi?

You were given a gift, Talya, a gift from heaven.

Do you know what I'd give to see Rafi for one moment?

To hug him.

To smell him, to yell at him.

You were given a second chance, anyone who ever lost someone

would kill for that.

So I'm sorry, Talya, that I can't feel sorry for you.

I'm just too busy being jealous.

I will never ever see my Rafi again.

You got your husband back.

You fought for so many years to get him back. Don't stop now.

Now let me get us something to eat.

I didn't think about it that way, that's all.

About what?

There were lots of kids...

in my class that didn't have a father. They didn't...

But you did.

You keep saying that you don't or didn't have a father,

but you did. You do.

He's alive.

Yeah, but...

You know what I mean.

Did you think he was dead?

What?

All those years, did you think he was dead or alive?

I don't know.

That he was dead.

Didn't everyone? Everyone but my mom?

Do you feel guilty?

About what?

My mom was the only one who thought he was alive.

She wasted her whole life on something that would never happen.

But it did happen.

What?

He's back. He's here.

I know.

You're not getting what I'm saying. Never mind.

She totally...

She wasted...

It sounds like you're mad at your mother for waiting all these years,

for wasting her life.

What life? Her life was on hold.

Are you mad because she waited for him

or because he came back?

I am Nimrode Klein, son of Shalom and Esther.

I miss my family very much, especially my little Dana

who will be starting first grade soon.

I wish I could be with you on that special day.

So what if I thought he was dead? Why would I feel guilty?

Everyone thought that, not just me.

Hello?

Where are you?

Waiting for Ofer.

I'm going in to a meeting.

I'm sorry about earlier, I...

I understand you need to work.

I thought maybe we could do something tonight.

Just you and me.

We could go out to dinner or...

to the movies, you and me.

It could be fun. What do you say?

Nimrode?

I gotta go.

I can't believe it!

Hi.

Hi.

I can't believe it. Look at you, you look like...

you spent 17 years in captivity, huh?

You, on the other hand...

Did you think I'd be wearing our uniform?

Come on, I'll introduce you

to everyone.

How do you like our lobby?

Nice, huh?

Very.

I know.

Come on.

I'll show you around. This is Ola.

Ola, hi.

Yoav, come here.

Come here a minute.

Yoav, meet the famous Nimrode Klein.

Nice to me you. -Me too.

Yoav is...

in charge of our biggest account. He's a star.

Big-time.

Nimrode might be joining our little family here, Yoav.

Back when we were in the army,

Nimrode and I had a dream

of opening an ad agency.

Life is really...

funny, huh?

Good luck. -Thank you.

Thank you.

Wow, Ofer, I'm really...

I can't wait to be part...

of the family. Thank you.

Sure.

Sure.

I'll show you your office.

Go on in.

Go in.

What's this? -Open it.

About a year ago, I went through...

something...

very difficult.

And I didn't really have anyone to talk to.

I didn't want to talk to anyone either.

My journal became my best friend.

All my demons, my...

confessions...

my fears, my thoughts.

I wrote it everything down and it really helped me. So...

I thought it might help you with...

your demons.

I do that too.

What?

Smell new books.

Oh, is that what I did?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'm sure it'll help.

We'll keep an eye on her for a few more days.

Don't worry, she's in good hands.

She'll be fine.

What she's going through is completely normal.

Thank you.

Yael, what are you doing?

Going home.

I need to take care of the dogs.

But the doctors think...

Let me at least take you home?

You've done enough for me, Ilan.

You should go home to rest too.

That's what I'm going to do.

I'm done.

Anything else?

Not yet.

Wait in your office. I might have something for you soon.

Come...

sit with me.

I came to claim my invitation to your Bar Mitzvah.

I behaved badly before, I'm sorry...

I was just so surprised to see you.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Does your mother know you invited me?

No.

But I think they'll be happy if you come.

I can't promise I'll come.

But I'll seriously consider it, okay?

Okay.

It's beautiful.

You're just saying that.

No. It compliments your figure.

You sure?

It's not too small?

I got it after my diet.

I'm sure.

I want to look nice.

You look great.

What's so funny?

I just remembered something I saw on TV about elephants.

You're punishing me because of Ostrovski?

Letting me go out looking like hell?

It looks nice on you, you nag! Stop it!

Should I bring everything out together?

Please.

We're in a bit of a hurry.

We have a movie to catch.

No problem. -Thank you.

I was seven when you were taken captive.

Welcome back. -Thank you.

Enjoy your meal.

You're famous.

You'll get used to that. -Yeah.

Ofer already suggested using me in one of their campaigns.

He says it could do me a lot of good. And the product.

Not to mention him.

So how was your day?

Great.

Really good.

Interesting, challenging.

I'm responsible for...

It's very interesting.

I'm sorry about this morning.

The yelling.

It's fine.

It was actually pretty nice.

Our first fight.

Do you remember our last fight?

No.

My mother wanted Dana to spend every Tuesday with her.

And I thought it would be good

if the two of us had a day to ourselves.

And I couldn't be away from Dana.

I remember.

We yelled like crazy.

That was the day I went off to the reserves.

Yes.

What's that?

Our account statements.

We have three accounts.

The details are all here.

Our mortgage.

Tomorrow we can go and get you a credit card.

Dana?

Dana?

Where are Mom and Dad?

Out for a romantic dinner.

You didn't see Mom?

No. Why?

She wore a dress that's way too small for her.

She asked me how she looked, but I didn't have the heart to tell her.

How was Dad's first day?

He said it went great.

You.

Come with me.

Yalla!

Get up!

Where are you taking him?

Wash your face.

Wash it!

Get up.

Hey, hey, get up.

Put this on.

Yalla.

Uri...

I'm going to bed.

Good night, Dad. -Good night.

You utter one word about tonight and you're dead.

Is that clear?

Where are we going?

Come on.

Come on, come on.

Come on, don't be afraid.

Lift your foot up, steps.

Okay.

Come on.

Come on.

Foot up, up.
