Come, I'll drive you home.

My car's up there.

I split it 50/50, after expenses...

You can still change your mind.

- When's the flight?

- Thursday.

Good luck, bro.

You're making a mistake

by not coming.

I can't.

I respect that.

Tell me...

let's say you were in my place,

what would you do with...

that Bruria woman?

Which Bruria?

The woman... from the note...

The one who can't get pregnant.

You won't let go?

Help me out with this before you go.

What would you do?

I told you, it's impossible.

Don't you get it?

Fine, I got it, I'm not God.

I'm just asking you

for your craziest idea.

Give me something

from that brain of yours.

Didn't you see me?

I'm sorry, Ma'am, are you all right?

What's wrong with you, man?

I didn't see her.

That's how people get killed.

Are you all right?

I'm fine. He just dented my car.

Take her to the hospital.

What? That's not necessary.

- She's fine.

- Don't you tell me she's fine!

Take her to the hospital

and I'm coming with.

"She's fine," he tells me...

A hemorrhage can go undetected.

And you can't drive. We'll park your car

- and I'll accompany you to the hospital.

- There's no need...

Ma'am, I'm not asking you,

I'm an officer on duty

and I'm instructing you.

Don't fall asleep, it's dangerous.

I won't.

Is there anyone who can pick up

the kids from school?

I... don't have kids.

Are you single?

Are you coming on to her?

Haven't you done enough?

No, I'm married.

No kids?

That's too bad.

People live their lives

chasing after careers,

suddenly they're all alone at 50.

A person could die in his home,

his head in his vomit,

and there's no kid

to pick his chin up off the table.

Are you in pain?

From the collision?

Excuse me, officer,

but you have no tact.

Ma'am, forgive me

if I'm invading your private space,

but haven't you seen a specialist?

There's no stopping you.

Watch your mouth.

I can still arrest you for hit and run.

But I didn't run, I'm right here!

- Shut up! Don't shout at me!

- No...

We haven't.

My husband doesn't believe in...

Doesn't believe?

You don't have that privilege,

you have to see a doctor.

There happens to be a doctor

in this hospital who helped my sister.

He's very famous.

Prof. Luria something.

Prof. Luria David?

Yes. How do you know?

So you did look into doctors.

No. This is his office.

What a small world.

- Go in.

- "Go in?"

He's not a shoemaker, look at this line.

So? This is an emergency.

And you're with a police officer.

Where's the emergency?

She isn't bleeding,

it's not a matter of life and death.

It's a matter of life and life.

You don't get to decide

what's important and what's not.

First you'll examine her

and then I'll decide if I should

check up on your shady business here...

Maybe you don't want that.

Shall we begin?

You see? When you want to...

What a plan.

I would have never come up with that.

Please...

I give credit where credit is due.

I appreciate that.

Listen, Chuma...

now that we've solved

this thing with the note,

why not come with me?

Her wish wasn't to see Dr. Luria.

She wants to get pregnant.

It's not over.

We have to make the wishes

come true as written.

But at least now we'll know

what's wrong with her.

You're a genius!

You're gonna ace it in America.

- You think so?

- Sure.

Tell me,

just so I know how you operate,

if you're in the process

of making a wish come true,

can you read another note

at the same time?

Why?

I have a few days before I leave.

- It's packed today.

- Yes.

There, those two.

No, today we go to the men's section.

So, why did I get dressed like this?

I didn't ask you to.

Isn't that?

Yes. Avisar.

Zachi, put a note in the Wall

and we're outta here.

Avisar, you know what to do.

Good, off you go.

Hey, you're not taking his note.

Why, you scared? It's about time.

I said, not his note. Stop butting in.

Who's asking you?

Chuma!

Chuma!

Ma'am, you can't come in here.

You keep bustin' my hump

about that kid,

now you're not telling me

what he wrote?

You know, what can a kid ask for?

A bike, chocolate...

Keep your hands to yourself!

I WISH NETANEL WAS MY FATHER.

Netanel?

How does he know your name?

I look after him.

What?

For you.

Who asked you to?

I thought one day

you'd come to your senses...

It will never happen!

I'm telling you for the thousandth time,

he's not my kid.

I don't believe that.

Up yours!

I can't have kids, don't you get it?

What?

You heard me.

Remember once you suggested

we go to the sperm bank

and make some extra cash

and I said it's a bad idea?

Yeah.

You know why I said that?

Because I thought about it before you.

I was told I can't be a donor,

my sperm's no good.

Do you get what I'm saying, Chuma?

I'm infertile.

Like Sarah our foremother.

So what are you saying?

That Lizo cheated on you?

Yes.

Hello?

Hello, Officer Asaf Hefetz?

Oh... Yes, this is he.

As you requested,

though I'm bound by confidentiality,

I'm letting you know

that the lady you brought in is fertile,

it's her husband

who has the problem.

Officer, we're good, right?

- Yes.

- Am I off the hook?

Doctor, can I ask you a question?

- Who is this?

- The other guy, the driver.

Are you still together?

Her husband, he's infertile, right?

Is there any chance of a miracle?

There have been cases where...

What are you doing?

Why are you butting in?

You heard what he said,

it's happened before.

Go to hell.

Stay away from me.

Thank God I'm leaving.

- Lizo, can I ask you a question?

- Go ahead.

Who is Avisar's father?

- Excuse me?

- You heard me.

What's wrong with you?

Don't you know who he is?

He sends you over with the envelopes,

doesn't he?

Could you have been

with another man at the time?

Get the hell out.

What...

What are you doing here?

Should I go?

No, of course not.

Come inside.

Is this yours?

No, I'm... house-sitting for some woman.

I didn't know you have woman.

My grandmother.

Can I get you something to drink?

Something light.

There's only Stoli.

Why did you leave?

Do you want me?

Of course.

But we can't.

There's a kid involved.

Responsibilities.

We have to think ahead.

That's why I'm not afraid.

You're a good father.

I don't think so.

I don't know that it means to be a father.

Where's your father?

He's dead.

Doniasha, this is a bad idea.

All right.

I'll go.

Is he really dead?

Your father isn't dead.

He abandoned you.

I know the sad eyes of a kid

whose father left him.

Don't be afraid you'll be like him.

Sir, can I have the ball?

Take it.

Did you feel that too?

I think it's about to rain.

Or maybe someone's spitting at us

from an airplane.

Tell me, weren't you told

not to talk to strangers?

You have a king's necklace.

So do I.

It's nice.

- Avisar, bring the ball.

- Avisar!

I kicked it.

Yes!

- Give it to me.

- It's mine.

Let go!

- Hey, stop that.

- Is this your dad, cry baby?

No, I'm not his dad.

Then keep out of this, pumpkin head.
