What we had was great...
but I need more now.
I never lied to you.
Nope... never lied to me.
I thought that we
had an understanding.
No, you had an understanding.
You made the rules.
That was fine.
I wanted to be with you. It's just --
There's some things
that I can't give, Nick.
Can't or won't?
What's the difference?
## [ Romantic ]
[ Sighs ]
Ahem.
We're alone.
You're breaking a big rule.
Yes, I know.
Put something on, please.
If you don't like it, leave.
I like it. That's the problem.
[ Ariel ]
Who are they?
[ Emily ]
You gotta be kidding.
You've never --
We don't watch television
or go to the movies.
[ Ariel ]
They're so magical.
Come here.
Come here.
See what you're missing?
You left without saying good-bye.
My mother left my father
without saying good-bye.
[ Sighs ]
You know why?
She couldn't stand
sleeping with a cop.
She said it made him angry...
and that he took it out on her.
You think that's what's
gonna happen to me...
some guy telling me
that I'm too angry...
too hard?
This is my life.
It's pretty, isn't it?
[ Crying ]
My partner...
he wants to change the rules on me.
give me an inspector's funeral.
And I want you to kiss me.
I'm meeting her tonight.
Who?
My bride.
You know, when I'm
with you or with Leah...
I'm not angry, Ariel,
not angry at all.
From the very beginning, you --
You made me feel soft
on the inside.
Emily...
I can't.
Can't or won't?
There's no difference.
- Emily.
- Yes?
I'm begging you.
Okey-dokey.
[ Sighs ]
- Emily, the reason I had to see you.
- Yeah?
The Baldessaris,
they didn't kill Yaakov.
Tony was dying.
What if you were right
from the very beginning?
What if it is one of us...
or someone pretending
to be one of us?
What was it that you called me?
A ba'al --
- Ba'al teshuvah.
- One who has returned.
Like Mara?
How did she know that
there were three pouches?
The only person who could have known
had to be there...
with Yaakov.
He buzzes her in.
He opens the door...
and he finds himself
face-to-face with Mara...
and whoever she's working with.
- It could have been
anybody from her past.
- When she was hurt--
- Would she have done that to herself?
- Easily.
When the Baldessaris
came into the exchange...
the pouch in Chris' coat,
Mara planted it.
They read about it in the newspaper,
about the murder;
- But --
- They tried to take
advantage of the situation.
Mara wanted me to take them out.
With them dead, the case is closed.
I'll miss you, Mara.
I'll miss you too,
Leah, you most of all.
But I just can't
stay here any longer.
Too much has happened.
Let me get my coat.
[ Door Slamming ]
[ Indistinct Chatter]
Ah!
[ Chuckling ]
Sholem alechem.
Alechem sholem.
- Quelle maison.
- C'est jolie, non, maman?
- C'est tres jolie, ma cherie.
[ Indistinct Chatter]
Phone Leah and warn her.
- [ Men Chatting ]
- Ariel, you've never
used a gun, have you?
- No .
Hold it like this, aim at the heart
and pull the trigger.
Take this.
It's my spare.
She'll search me, not you.
This is Eden. I need backup,
corner of Forest and Putnam.
Mara, take it easy.
It's okay. Mara!
Mara?
Listen to me, please.
- Just give it up.
- No way!
Just take it easy.
Put the gun down.
- Can we make a deal?
- Make me an offer.
I'll drop murder one...
- settle for a deuce.
- It's not good enough.
Think again, Mara.
How are you gonna get out?
You're gonna have to
go through me.
Come on,
let's cut a deal.
Okey-dokey.
Turn around.
[ Scream ]
What are you going to do now, Mara?
Let Leah go.
You can just walk out.
I'm not going to stop you.
Do you really want to kill Leah?
She's been your best friend.
- I was acting, playing a role!
- Leah wasn't!
I wasn't.
Yaakov certainly wasn't.
None of us were.
You have a chance to escape. Take it.
Aren't you gonna quote
from your precious Kabbalah?
The Kabbalah says that out of
every evil action, there can
be found some goodness.
Please, Mara, let her go.
- Ariel, help me!
- Mara!
[ Gun Clattering ]
[ Sobbing ]
Twenty-four hours of observation,
you know that.
I'm all right.
I'm all right!
[ Siren ]
- Were you really?
- Emily...
I think of you as a daughter.
Thank you for everything.
We have to go now.
They told us not to stay too long.
Rebbe...
Emily?
We're alone.
You're breaking
the rule again.
The Kabbalah says --
The Kabbalah says --
Oh, Emily, I'm going
to miss you so much.
I beg your pardon.
Are you all right?
I know what you
must be thinking.
Do you?
I know how it looks.
If you want to leave, I understand.
I will leave...
but only if you want me to.
[ Door Opening ]
"God counts
the tears of women."
What?
It's in the Kabbalah.
It means that...
women understand the world
better than men do;
Therefore, they weep more often.

"The Seven Wedding Blessings" ]
Hey, Levine!
Hey!
- How's the leg?
- It's no problem.
- It's good.
- Good.
How you doing?
- I'm good.
- Good.
- How are you doing?
- I'm all right.
Good.
I got an idea.
We could both use
a little, uh, rest...
and a little relaxation.
Two weeks in Aruba.
You come back
a new woman, Emily.
I already am.
The question is,
would you come back a new man?
Two weeks with you,
who knows?
I might.
That's very sweet, Levine,
but no, thank you.
Why not?
I'm waiting for my bashert.
- Your what?
- My bashert.
Bashert!
What's that?
Ask your Rabbi.
