Hi.
Do you have by any chance a guest under the name of Mrs. Lazar?
Lazar?
Dori Lazar.
I don't think so.
Are you sure?
Let me check for you.
Yes, check it out, please.
No sir, we don't have a guest under that name.
Dori!
Dori, don't do it! No!

"RETURN FROM INDIA"
Close him up.
Dr. Rubin, come with me please,
Lazar from administration wants to see you.
Subtitles by: Elrom Studios
Can we wake him up?
Lazar, this is Dr. Ben Rubin, the ideal man for the job.
Nice to meet you. Have you been an intern here for long?
For 12 months, in surgery.
Have a seat. - Thank you.
Don't we need someone from internal medicine, Prof. Hissin?
Although Dr. Rubin desperately wants to be a surgeon,
If you ask me, he was born to be in internal medicine.
Nevertheless, I hope you let me stay in surgery.
Dr. Rubin, have you ever been to India?
India? - Yes.
We need a doctor to go there and examine a sick young woman.
She's very ill and we need a doctor to bring her home.
What's wrong with her? - Hepatitis B, most likely.
When am I supposed to leave? - Immediately.
We'll go as soon as the shots and visas are in order.
What do you mean "we"? - I'm going as well.
It's my daughter, Einat.
Her friend got back yesterday and said it's getting worse.
Will you do it?
I'll think about it.
Good evening, Dr. Rubin. - Good evening.
Come in, make yourself at home. - Thank you.
I called you earlier but you weren't in.
I thought it over, Mr. Lazar... - Call me Abe. - OK, Abe.
I hope your passport hasn't expired. - No, it hasn't,
but about the trip... - This is Michaela, my daughter's friend.
She got back from India two days ago
and told us everything that's happened.
Michaela, meet Dr. Rubin, who's going with us.
Nice to meet you. - Hi, hi.
Ben. - Michaela.
So you were with her when she got sick?
Yes. I'm no expert... - It's OK.
She looks really ill. - What did you see?
Her skin turned yellow, she lost a lot of weight.
Her urine looks like tea, it's so dark,
and her body is covered with scratching bruises.
She's really ill.
Michaela brought maps. Come see where we're taking you.
Einat is here in Gaya,
a holy place, that has something to do with Buddha.
She's in a hospital there, or what they call a hospital.
Don't mind him, Dr. Rubin. India is an amazing country.
I'm sure it's fascinating.
However, regarding the trip, I simply can't go. This is my wife.
Dori, this is Dr. Rubin.
How do you do.
We're very happy you're joining us, Dr. Rubin.
My wife is going with us. - Is that OK? - Yes...
It's none of my business. The more the merrier.
Yes, it's OK.
Please, Sit down.
We'll fly to Bombay, then take a train to Varanasi
and from there to Gaya. - Hey, give him a minute.
Look, it's a very flattering offer,
but I only have a month left to finish my cardiology internship.
I thought you were transferring to the internal ward.
Isn't that was Hissin said?
Hissin can say whatever he likes.
I'm not leaving surgery. If it's not at your hospital,
there are other hospital, it's not the end of the world.
Why don't you bring us a drink, maybe some wine.
I'll help.
I understand your dilemma, try to understand our distress.
We must bring Einat home.
Dr. Hissin says you're the ideal man for it.
We'll pay you generously. - Money's not the issue.
What's so great about me?
That's the third time I've heard it today.
Believe it or not, Hissin likes you.
Yet he doesn't want me in his ward.
Can I show you her picture? - Yes, please.
Our only daughter.
How old is she? - 20.
She's very pretty. - She's very ill.
Good morning, Dr. Rubin, This is Dori Lazar,
I have the tickets. Don't forget to bring the shots.
We leave at 8 o'clock, we'll be waiting for you. Bye.
Are you sure about going to India, Mrs. Lazar?
Didn't we just buy 3 tickets?
By the way, my name is Dori.
That one was for typhus,
The next one is for meningitis.
May I have your other arm, Mrs. Lazar?
I hope I didn't hurt you, Mrs. Lazar.
I hope you'll call me Dori.
OK, Dori.
Bombay International Airport
Ben!
Abe, why do we have to stay in Bombay?
Honey, it's 2000 km to Gaya.
We have to make a stop at Varanasi.
Then let's go to Varanasi. - But we missed the flight.
We'll never make it to Einat.
There's a train to Varanasi at 8AM, but it takes 20 hours.
We'll have to find a hotel.
Do you know a good hotel in town?
Not a tourist, just a local hotel, alright?
I'll take the other rickshaw.
I hope we don't lose each other in this crowd.
Look, Abe. Wow!
What a sight!
This must be the hotel. - Are you crazy?
If this is the hotel, I'm not staying here.
You wanted a local hotel.
Let's see if they have any rooms available.
Come on, come on.
All those children, The heat...
Welcome to Golden Hotel. What can I do for you?
You could really save us.
Yes, we need two rooms for one night, please.
You have reservations? - No.
Sorry, it's full, tourist season.
But wait, we have one room, very small, it's upstairs.
Could you please show us the room?
Bell boy will show you up.
What about Ben?
It's just for one night. What could happen?
Abe, look. It's amazing. - The world's largest launderette.
You amaze me, Dori. - Do you love me? - Yes.
What's the matter, is something wrong?
No. Why? - The way you were looking at us...
I don't remember ever seeing my parents like that.
Like what?
A couple of teenagers in love. - We are teenagers in love.
Ok, we'll take the room.
What about Ben? Will we all share one bed?
Can we have another extra bed? A cot will do.
Yeah, and some sort of screen, please.
I will ask the manager, Mam.
Thank you, thank you very much.
Don't worry Ben, We'll be very quiet.
No problem.
Hi, Ben. - Hi.
Where were you? - Sightseeing. Did I wake you?
No, nothing can wake Abe.
I can't sleep, I'm worried about Einat.
What did you see?
A market, a famous temple, hanging gardens.
Millions of people sleeping in the streets.
Interesting? - Sad.
I'm very tired, I want to get some sleep.
Good night, Ben. - Good night.
Abe.
Dori, stop it, We're not alone.
I'm so worried, How can you sleep?
Hi. - Hello.
Are you on tour to our country?
Not exactly, we have come to bring our daughter back home.
She is very ill.
Oh, this is my wife, this is Dr. Rubin.
Hi.
Oh, I'm also a pysician.
Really? Perhaps your are familiar with a hospital in Gaya,
by any chance? - I am actually.
Is it a good hospital? - What's your daughter's problem?
Hepatitis B, apparently. - Oh my goodness.
Seems there is some complication and secondary infection.
In that case may I suggest that you contact the lab hospital.
But Gaya is not so bad.
As long as they have a good lab, can we trust the results?
Well I would suggest that you contact the lab in Vernasi.
If you need my help, contact me.
Thank you very much.
Are you visiting Gaya?
No, me and my brother are returning to Vernasi from Bombay.
Our father died, we are taking his body
to be cremated in the river Ganges.
Do you always cremate your dead?
Well we have to, to help their souls come back quickly.
You see, this body is just a temporary vessel
and must eventually be disposed of.
Exactly, who needs the body,
it's just a big pain in the ass, isn't it?
You're a doctor, do you believe in life after death?
Well I'm a doctor and I'm a Hindu.
What do you think, Ben? Is there life after death?
The way things are, there's no life before death.
This train's moving at a snail's pace.
Goodbye, you know where to find me if you need me.
Yeah, yeah, thank you very much, all the best, doctor.
Bye bye.
What's going on?
Conductor!
Isn't this train going on to Gaya?
It doesn't look like it's going anywhere.
Vernase Junction!
Conductor! Excuse me. - Yes?
Doesn't this train go to Gaya?
No! This train goes back to Bombay.
Which train goes to Gaya?
Platform No. 2.
Vernasi Junction!
What's going on? - We have to change trains. Come on.
Porter! We need some help with our suitcases.
Sorry, we're going to Gaya, you said platform No. 2, right?
Tomorrow morning, 8 o'clock. - What?
Better hurry and find a hotel, tourist season, you see.
Come on, let's go. Follow this lady.
Be careful with the lady, right?
It's only 6 hours by car. - Let's take a taxi.
Come on.
So this is Gaya?
Gaya Central Hospital
How is she? Can I see her?
They released her a week ago. - Then where is she?
In a monastery called Bod-Gaya, in the mountains,
20 km away from town.
They said there was nothing else they could do for her
and that she was taking up a bed.
We can assume one of two things.
She either feels much better... - Or much worse.
They threw her out. - Calm down, Dori, we'll soon find out.
Stop.
May I help you?
Yes, we are looking for our girl who was brought here 3 days ago.
Oh yes, she's is here. We've been waiting for you.
Come, I'll take her to you.
Sir, do you know how is my daughter? Is she OK?
Come after me, I'll show you.
Please remove your shoes here.
Where is she? I don't see her.
OK, here is your daughter, Madame.
Einati! - Dori, Dori!
It's contagious, cover your face.
And don't touch her. Don't touch her.
Put the mask on.
Einati, we've come to take you home.
This is Dr. Rubin, he came especially for you.
Dori, you mustn't touch her.
What's going on? - Let me examine her. Just one second.
Both of you, let me examine her, please. Excuse me, Mrs Lazar.
Hi, Einat. I'm Dr. Rubin.
I'm going to examine you now, OK?
Are you running a fever?
Let's take a look at your eyes.
Does that hurt?
Does this hurt?
OK, you're going to be fine. I'll take care you,
and improve your condition, I'll stabilize it,
and then we'll fly you home, OK?
May I roll up your shirt a little, Einat?
Are you really a doctor? - Yes, I am.
Then you can roll up my shirt. - OK.
All this is from scratching? - It's all over my body.
This cream will help. Rub it on every few hours.
Can I draw some blood?
She needs to be taken home right away.
Abe, we brought a doctor all the way from Tel Aviv,
why don't we hear what he has to say?
She has a very high fever, Both her liver and kidneys
were affected.
I gave her a blood test, I need urine tests as well.
Go to the bathroom with her.
Tell me the truth Doctor, how is she?
I really can't tell you till I see the test results,
but you should ask the monks to find her a room
of her own, where she'll be comfortable, this is no good.
I'll take care of it.
We have to take you to the bathroom, hold on to me.
Mom...
Yes, darling. - I want to go home.
Soon darling, soon.
Tea, please?
No. Thank you very much.
I'm Tomaio, I'm from Japan.
I'm Dr. Rubin. May I ask you Tomaio, what are you doing here?
Come to do "Vispana", 2 weeks seminar of silence.
You came all the way for that? Can't you be silent in Japan?
Yes, but this is the place Buhda received enlightenment
until he reaches nirvana.
Here's her urine.
OK, they've given us a bungalow in the garden.
Excuse me, can you take me to Gaya hospital?
Make it fast please.
Is it far from here?
Don't move, OK? It may take a few hours,
just stay here, don't move, right?
Excuse me...
Please wait in line, sir.
Please just tell me where I can find the lab, just tell me.
All these people are waiting for something they want to know,
please wait in line.
Just show me where I can find the lab, sorry, sorry, I'm a doctor.
Wait in line.
Sir, can you just tell me where I can find the lab?
I'm lost.
We are all lost.
Hi, can you please just direct me to the lab?
Yes, there is a way outside.
Yeah?
And it goes to a garden, people are waiting there in the line.
You may also be there one of the line.
Maybe that you'll find your laboratory, and if not, pray Budha.
He may be there in the line also.
Please wait for a minute, can't you hear me?
I said wait for a minute.
Please, sorry, sorry, excuse me, I'm a doctor.
I need to gat some blood and urine tests.
Excuse me, hi, I'm a doctor from abroad.
I need an urgent report on these blood and urine samples.
My patient is dying.
All the people are dying here, sir.
Please wait in line.
No, I can't wait.
You'll have to.
Look, I'll pay you for the test,
I'll double the fee you charge if you just do them immediately.
This is the Budhist hospital and Budha is the God of the poor,
there are no charges here.
Yeah? My patient is a guest in your country.
Just please help me, Madame, OK, please?
OK, OK, please fill out this form.
And write it down exactly and clearly which tests you need,
then sign it here, OK?
OK, yeah.
And come back next week to collect the results.
What?
Next week...
No, I can't wait till next week,
I'm telling you my patient is dying.
Then go and tell God Budha...
What are you doing, sir? Sir?
I'm going to Vernase, OK?
Vernase is...
Shut up! This is hospital, this is not your home!
How will you get to Varanasi today?
The driver said there are trains to Varanasi.
He's waiting outside,
I think I'll be able to make it back this evening.
I'm going with you. - Why? What for?
We don't want to loose our doctor in India.
Really, Dori.
I have to go for my own peace of mind.
I can manage on my own.
I'm of no help here,
and it's hard for me to see Einat like this.
What'll I do in the meantime?
Rub this cream on every couple of hours,
It'll relieve the itch. Make sure she drinks a lot,
Tomaio will help you in any case.
Shall we go?
Gaya
Can you go to this place, please?
Thanks.
Sorry, sorry.
Go, go!
Sorry, excuse me please, thank you.
Oh hello, please come inside. My brother is expecting you.
Please, come in. My brother is waiting for you.
Oh hello, Welcome, please come in, Dr. Rubin, please sit down.
How is your daughter, Madame? - I wish we knew.
Yeah, well actually we need your help, Dr. Sandin,
with some blood and urine tests,
this is urgent.
How much time do you have?
Em... we would like to go back to Gaya tonight. - Yes.
Good, I will need at least about 6 hours
but your most welcome to stay here
and wait for the report.
Thank you Doctor, I think we shall walk for a while,
is that alright, Ben? - Yeah, sure.
Yeah, there are so many places of interest.
You are in India's holiest city.
Vernasi is the city of the dead.
Doctor, we can thank you enough.
Oh, don't mention it.
OK, we'll leave you to your patients,
it looks like you have at least 100 out there.
Only 100? Then I have an easy day ahead of me.
Oh my God... - Thank you, Doctor.
Look at them.
They were born dead, never having the chance to live.
They're just waiting for Buddha to redeem them from this life.
Yes, if he exists, I'd say he's a cruel God,
Just as cruel as our God.
Where do you think they're going?
To burn the bodies in the Ganges.
Let's follow them.
What's going on?
I don't know, a religious rite or something.
Why doesn't anyone help her? - I don't know.
Let's get out of here.
Dear brother, Dr. Rubin is here.
Ah yes, Dr. Rubin, I've been waiting for you.
Here are the reports.
How is my daughter?
Not well I'm afraid, but not without hope.
It's OK, I'll study them later, we have to catch our train.
We are very grateful.
So tell me, did you have a good time in our holy city?
Oh yeah, I mean if you call it a good time.
We... we saw a woman jumping onto a funural pire
and burn herself to death.
Oh, a "Sati". You know that was her husband's funural pire.
This still happens in India although it's against the law.
Why did she do it? Was she punished?
No, to save another soul.
Another soul, I don't understand.
Well, she went to Sati because she didn't want
to have another man in her life.
She wants to find the sould of her husband in Heaven.
As you perhaps know that Hindus believe in 2nd life.
This was a horrible sight.
I'll pray for your daughter, Madame.
Thank you very much. - OK.
All the best, Doctor.
How is she doing? - Want something to eat? - No, thanks.
Is Einat asleep? - I've asked you how she's doing.
I can't tell yet, I'd better go in.
I have to give her an interferon shot,
and you should prepare to give her some blood.
As far as I know, you need my blood.
Why, what about his?
He's not healthy himself and has a rare blood type.
What's your blood type? - O plus.
You're sure?
OK, let's go in to see her.
How are you feeling? You'll soon feel much better.
When are we going home? - Soon, really soon.
You must get stronger.
I'll give you some of your mother's blood now, OK? Healthy blood.
Mom, are you really giving me blood? - Yes darling, I am.
It's time to do it. Come here, please.
Take off your blouse, Dori. Let me help you.
Sit down on the bed.
Put your arm up here, lean it against the pillow.
It must be high up, you know, the law of connected vessels.
Hello, Air India? I need to talk to Air India.
Yes, are you closed?
So when are you open? Tomorrow morning?
OK, thank you, thank you.
Have you ever done this before? - A direct blood transfusion?
Yes, in the army. In an emergency.
Is this an emergency?
We are in battlefield. - Who is the enemy?
The angel of death.
Mom, what do you think, will we beat the angel of death?
Of course, trust Dr. Rubin. - I do.
Direct blood transfusions aren't customary nowadays.
They may even be prohibited. - You're right sir,
but under the circumstances, I have no choice.
How are you feeling, Einat?
Like a vampire.
You look fine, ladies.
Some tea, Mr. Lazar? - No thank you,
I have to go out. Maybe later.
Are you going somewhere? - Yes, to Gaya, to organize the tickets.
Do you really think we're going home today? - Yes.
There's a flight tonight from Bombay to Tel Aviv.
I'll come with you.
I want to do some shopping before we leave India.
OK.
How is Einati this morning? - Still sleeping, so is the doctor.
Good. We'll be back in an hour.
Take care of them Tomaio. - I will. Bye.
Abe...
- OK? - Yes.
It's so beautiful here.
Yes, there's something about India.
This is exactly how I imagined heaven.
Look at all the flowers, the statues, the smell.
After I leave this world,
my soul will look at your photos and know exactly where to go.
You're not going anywhere.
That's why I'm here, right? Don't move.
I'm in love with India.
I want to stay forever.
You're feeling much better, aren't you?
Yes.
Great. - It's as if I was reborn.
It's your mother's blood that's doing that.
Let's sit down a bit.
What do you think about her?
About who? - My mother.
She's great.
She's a wonderful woman.
I think she really likes you.
I think she planned all this so that we'd meet.
I think she's planning for us to get married.
It's good to see you laughing.
But she doesn't understand that I'll never be like her and Dad.
Their love is boundless, they're glued to each other
like Siamese twins. I guess they share one heart.
I wish I could love that way.
I must be back in Tel Aviv on Sunday,
for the opening of the annual conference.
Doctor look, she's bleeding.
Do you have a tissue, Tomaio? - Yes.
Can you bring my kit from my room?
You know, the blue one. - Yes.
Lay down for a bit.
Here. OK. That's it.
Lean your head. That's it.
Hury up, Tomaio. - What is she doing there?
What's wrong with her?
I'm fine. - She has a nose bleed, that's all.
Let's get her back to her room. Help me, Dori.
Hold the tissue, but don't touch the blood, careful.
Let's take her back to bed, just don't touch her blood.
Why did you take her outside? - For some fresh air,
to prepare her for the trip.
I'd better go see how she's doing.
Do you think Einat can make the trip today?
Today? No. No way.
Tell your husband, Einat is in no condition to travel.
We're leaving today. - No, if it's up to me...
We're going home today. - No, we're not,
but if your husband must go home today, he can go by himself.
Maybe he's right and the best thing to do,
is to take Einat to our hospital right away?
Her condition is critical. She has a high fever.
The trip could endanger her life. Don't you understand?
It's dangerous! - Staying here is dangerous!
OK Dr, listen to me.
I take full responsibility. She's my daughter.
We're taking her home today and that's that!
You're making a big mistake. A very big mistake.
Tomaio, don't forget to write to me, alright?
I'll write to you, bye.
Miss Einat, go with the blessings of Budha.
Einat. Einat.
Can you just take...
take the snake and just go away, please.
Einat! - What's happening to her?
We must stop this insane journey before it's too late...
I must give her another blood transfusion, now!
Then take charge, you're the doctor. You decide.
The tickets. We got an upgrade.
What happened?
Can I have a word with you?
What are you doing, Lazar?
Do you want to kill Your own daughter?
Your daughter will die today if I don't give her a transfusion.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Why did you drag me all the way to India
if you don't listen to a word I say?
What do you suggest we do, Dr. Rubin?
Take her to a hospital in Bombay?
A hospital, whatever, let's find a hotel room
and I'll give her the transfusion there.
Then she must rest for at least 24 hours.
OK, I'll find a hotel.
Abe...
Listen to me. Get on the flight.
I know you have to attend your conference.
People are coming from all over the world.
We'll come in a day or two.
Dad, get on the flight. I'll be fine.
Here are your tickets.
Bye.
Take care of them, Ben.
They're both in your hands.
Call me.
Abe.
Hello?
Hi, it's me. What are you doing? - Hi.
I fell asleep.
Join me downstairs, I'm in the lobby.
How's Einat?
She's asleep. I think she's feeling much better now.
That's great.
Are you coming down or must I go see Bombay without you?
Can we have something to drink?
Thanks.
Thank you.
How much?
My head is spinning.
But let's have another glass of wine.
No, not for me. I can't drink anymore.
Come on.
Here?
A glass of your best red wine, please.
Take it easy.
I like it when my head is spinning.
OK, I'll have another one too.
Make it 2 please. - Of course, Madame.
Thank you.
Won't you ask me to dance?
Would you like me to?
God, you're acting like a baby.
Isn't that how you want me to act? - No.
I want you to act just as your eyes express
when you're looking at me.
Oh no, you're reading in my eyes now.
Can't I hide anything from you? - No...
You can't. Come on, let's dance.
My head is spinning...
Why don't you kiss me? I know you want to.
Are you sure you want me to kiss you? - Yes.
Everyone can see us.
So what? Do we know them?
Kiss me.
India. What a strange place.
Remember the woman who jumped in the fire at the Ganges?
I can't get it out of my head.
Remember what the Indian doctor told us about that ritual?
Sati, That's what they call it.
I keep asking myself,
what exactly did he mean
when he said she was saving her soul.
Maybe she didn't want to stay alone in this hell
without the man she loved.
It was so sad.
I feel as if it was me burning in that fire.
Dori...
I think I'm falling in love with you.
Slow down, Ben. We have all night.
We only have what's left of it.
Mrs. Lazar, I'll take it from here.
Wait, here's her medical report. - I don't need it.
When will I see you?
I don't know, call me at the office.
Come on, Dori, get in the ambulance.
Ben, take a few days off. You need them. - Yes.
What about Einat? - Prof. Levine will take care her.
Thank you very much. Bye.
This is Dr. Rubin speaking.
May I please speak with Attorney Lazar?
Yes, she has my number.
Thank you.
This is Dr. Ben Rubin speaking.
Yes, I already left a message this morning, that's right.
Can you ask her to call me on my mobile phone?
Yes, she has the number.
There you are. Our hero. How was your vacation?
Good. How's Einat? - Fine.
Thanks to Prof. Levine's wonderful treatment.
Go visit her. She'll be happy to see you.
Dr. Rubin, how was India? We heard how well you did. - Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Prof. Hissin, may I have a word?
Hello, Dr. Rubin, you're back?
I heard you worked wonders in India.
I'm glad I recommended you for the trip.
Professor, can we meet today?
Not today, I'm busy. - When, then? - I said I was busy.
Mrs. Lazar, there's a young man heading towards your office.
He doesn't have an appointment. - OK, I'll handle it.
Ben! What a surprise.
Sorry for sneaking in your office without notice.
I left you a million messages.
I got them. I had many things to attend to after the trip.
You're ignoring me. It's been 3 weeks since I last saw you.
Was there something important you wanted to tell me? Sit down.
The truth.
And you think I don't know the truth?
This can't go on. That's the truth. - Is it?
Even if I think about you every minute of every day?
Even if I realized how much you mean to me?
Look, Ben, this is all very flattering,
but where does it lead?
I don't care where it leads,
I just know that my life is empty without you.
Look, I didn't want it to happen in India.
But it happened. It got our of control.
And since that night, I...
I want you and I don't want you.
I'm so confused.
I want you, Dori, I've missed you.
Ben, we can't. It's wrong.
I don't understand how you managed to sneak into my marriage.
But I'm just as guilty as you are.
I could've stopped it that night.
No, you couldn't have, just as I couldn't.
Ben, you have to find a woman your own age.
You have to get married, build a home,
a family, have children. That's the way of the world.
I hate this world.
Ben, nothing's changed between Abe and I.
I do love you, But I can't live without Abe.
You love him? - Of course.
How can you love him and me at the same time?
I don't know, but I do.
Mrs. Lazar, Mr. Greenberg's here. - Just a moment.
I have a meeting, you must leave.
I'm begging you.
OK Dori, what do you expect me to do with my life?
Mr. Greenberg?
Thank you for coming, Dr. Rubin.
And don't forget to find the girl we talked about.
Come in, Mr. Greenberg.
Hi. - Hi.
It's you.
Ben Rubin, remember?
Of course, Dr. Ben Rubin.
You're back from India? - 3 weeks ago, with Einat.
I know, I saw her this morning.
When do you get off work?
In an hour.
I'd love a ride home.
Great. - Great. See you then.
Where are we going?
To Jaffa. There's an isolated Beach, where we can be alone.
You want to be alone with me?
I didn't bring a swimsuit. - Neither did I.
What else did Einat tell you? - That you saved her life.
That's all she said? - You saved her from her parents.
What do you mean? I don't get it.
You spent a week with them, you should understand.
Didn't you the kind of relationship they have?
They love each other very much, is that what you mean?
It's not love, It's an obsession.
An obsession.
An obsession. It's better than what I saw growing up.
My parents barely touched each other.
The last time my mother hugged me,
I was about 5 years old.
Good morning.
Where are you going? - To make some coffee.
I'd love some.
Hello?
Where are you? I was calling you all evening.
I'm out of town. Is there something wrong?
I miss you, Ben. Did I call at a bad time?
No, it's fine.
I couldn't sleep all night. - Where are you? - At home.
I took the day off, I was hoping to see you.
There's an emergency, they couldn't find anyone...
Do you want your coffee, or prefer to leave right away?
Would you mind if we went home?
I never felt like this. - Like what?
Happy.
I'm worried. - What about?
That I'll call you tomorrow and you'll tell me it's over.
Anything can happen.
Dori, don't play games.
This is so hard. Suddenly everything's so complicated.
I loved one man for 25 years. I was never with anyone else.
Suddenly you show up,
and my whole world turns upside down.
Falls apart.
What about you?
Me? - What about Michaela? - Michaela?
Einat told me. I'm not jealous.
Michaela is a wonderful girl. Einat's alive thanks to her.
Yeah, she really is a wonderful girl.
Then why aren't you with her?
You know why.
She's what you need. Pretty, young, she can have kids,
she won't get wrinkled like me, in a few years.
Why did you call me? To say I can be with Michaela?
I called because I miss you. I wanted you to touch me.
I was suffocating without you.
That's exactly how I feel when I don't see you,
or when you won't listen to what I'm going through.
Don't be mad, Ben. - I'm not mad,
it drives me crazy, Dori.
I hear your voice and come running like an idiot.
Do you know where I was when you called?
With Michaela. - Yes, with Michaela.
I hear your voice and come running like a madman.
OK, now what? Tell me.
You're in charge, directing my life. What happens next?
You go on with your life, having nothing to do with me.
Is this how it's going to be? You come, take me someplace,
we have sex, what's next? - Want to move in with me?
To your apartment?
I have to think about it.
Michaela? - What?
Do you believe in reincarnation?
Why do you ask? - Just curious.
You're the doctor. Do you believe in reincarnation?
I used to think the soul was a mere fabrication,
a yearning for the eternal, a search for spirituality.
Since I became a "soul pilot" I'm confused.
Come to me, my soul pilot.
You're a confused doctor, prepare for landing.
Do you like my apartment?
It's nice.
Intimate.
That's it?
It's quiet, pleasant.
What does that mean? - It's a nice apartment.
Yes, but what does it mean? Will you move in or not?
Can I think about it? - OK, start now.
Come on, I need some time.
Yes or no? - I won't say. - What does that mean?
Yes or no? - Leave me alone.
Are you OK?
It hurts.
It feels good.
"Soraski Medical Center, Tel Aviv"
Ladies and Gentlemen.
We are hear tonight, to honor and thank the Gershon Family
for their exceptionally generous donation
which has enabled us to open our new ward
for Lupus and blood diseases.
Ladies and Gentlemen, It gives me great pleasure
to introduce to you, Mr. And Mrs. Charles Gershon.
Mr. Charles Gershon, please.
Ladies and Gentlemen...
How are you? I haven't seen you in... - 4 weeks.
I'm also counting the days. Are you OK?
Yes, I'm fine. - And Einat?
She's back home,
but she's moving to Jerusalem, to study Psychology.
That's great, I'm happy for her.
We're very grateful for what you did for her.
Abe is also convinced you saved her.
Abe is a wonderful man.
He's a lucky man, Dori. I wish I was Abe.
What's going on in there?
What's going on?
Give him some room! Let him breathe!
Mom, it's Dad!
Why the urgency to operate?
There are rhythm disruptions, as a result of ischemia.
Are we sure? - Yes, we are sure.
His pulse is irregular, he's about to go into VF.
Shouldn't we stabilize him first? - Don't interfere.
We all think we should operate immediately.
I'm removing a vein from his right leg.
We're ready. - Go ahead.
Cover.
Scalpel.
6:30, cutting skin.
Is everything OK, Dr. Rubin?
Yes, everything's fine.
Hissin, look.
Fibrillation.
Defibrillator.
Gel.
Unsynchronized 300, stand clear.
Fibrillation.
Gel.
Unsynchronized 360, stand clear.
Fibrillation. - Let me try. - Move!
You're losing him, let me do it! - I said move!
Unsynchronized 360, stand clear.
Fibrillation.
It's no use. He's brain-dead.
360!
Fibrillation. - Come on, Lazar! Come on! 360!
Fibrillation. - Come on, Lazar! 360!
It's no use, Lazar is gone.
What's going on?
What's come over you? - Nothing. - You're lying.
Do you want to tell me what's come over you?
This whole Lazar thing, the bypass was unnecessary.
You can't be sure.
I'm sure.
I've known everything about heart surgery since childhood.
I was there, he shouldn't have been operated.
But all Prof. Hissin ever thinks about is his reputation,
the department's reputation, he has to operate,
even if it's unnecessary.
Lazar died of internal bleeding.
We killed him. - It doesn't matter anymore...
It makes no difference to Lazar. It doesn't matter.
What'll happen to Dori?
Who will take care of her, he did everything for her,
she doesn't know how to do the simplest things,
like using a washing machine, things we do every day,
she knows nothing, poor thing. - Ben...
I'm going out for some fresh air.
Ben? - What?
Nothing.
Go for some fresh air.
Dori?
What are you doing here?
I was afraid you were left alone. Is Einat here?
No, she went back to Jerusalem,
to study for her exams.
Are you OK?
I don't know.
You have a fever, you should be in bed.
Let's go upstairs.
I haven't seen you since the mourning period.
I'm here now and you won't get rid of me.
What'll happen to you, Dori?
What'll happen to us? - I don't know.
All I want to do is sleep.
I just want to sleep.
Shall I give you a pill? - No, Ben, go home.
I'm groggy.
I want to sleep.
I'll make you a cup of tea. You must drink.
I'll make you a cup of tea.
I thought you left. - No, I'm still here.
You should go home, Ben. You should be with Michaela.
No, I should be with you.
Did you know that nothing works in your kitchen?
The gas... - You shouldn't leave her alone.
She understands, she went to sleep a couple of hours ago.
Take this pill.
You know, Abe liked you very much.
He always said you'd go places.
I'm completely bleary now.
Go to sleep.
You'll feel better in the morning.
Abe...
How will I manage without you, Abe?
What will I do with your Dori?
Talk to me, before I...
I was sure you know what happened in India.
Mom?
Mom...
Einat, what are you doing here this late?
I called but you didn't answer, I thought something happened.
I thought you were sick. I guess I was wrong.
Wait, I want to talk to you. - I have nothing to say to you.
Let me explain. - You're wearing my father's robe! - Wait...
Hi.
I was sleeping... I guess I fell asleep.
I called, but you didn't answer. You must've also fallen asleep,
that's why you didn't answer.
I couldn't leave, she's in an awful state.
What a mess. Nothing works,
a grown woman who can't manage...
I see you shaved.
Yes, you noticed?
Are you growing a moustache?
Dori fell asleep, so I had some time...
Did you sleep with her? - What?
Did you sleep with her? Did you fuck her?
What are you saying?
Did you fuck the old hag? Did you stick your dick in her?
Stop it! Stop it!
Stop it, Dori!
Dori? Michaela.
What's come over you, Ben?
Do you really think Lazar's soul entered your body?
Or is that what you want her to think?
I don't know.
I don't know what's happening to me.
I have no idea what happening to me.
What's happening?
It's you and all your crazy ideas
about reincarnation...
Everything's so fucked up, Ben.
I was up all night waiting for you.
Waiting to tell you something I thought you'd like to hear.
What?
What did you want to tell me?
I'm pregnant, Ben.
I'm pregnant with your child.
And I know it's yours because unlike you,
I don't fuck others.
How long have you... - It doesn't matter.
Thank you. We won't inconvenience you.
Michaela, please don't... - Don't touch me.
It's over between us. I'm late for work.
Michaela, listen to me.
I'll stay here till I find another apartment.
No, you stay here, I'll leave.
Ben, this was my fault as well.
I knew exactly what was going on with you.
I was a fool.
I lied to myself.
I let this happen.
Be careful not to lose your soul completely.
What do you want?
I'm so sorry, I thought you were... - It's OK.
I'm sorry.
Michaela told me everything.
How is she? - It's nice of you to ask.
She's fine.
She moved in with me. That's why I'm here.
And your mother?
Didn't you know? - What? - Didn't she tell you?
No, what?
She's in India.
In India? - She left this morning.
It's funny how India's affected you.
I thought they took you with them so that...
you'd meet me. But you fell in love with my mother.
I know you think I made a mistake.
I didn't plan on it, it just happened.
You fell in love, it can happen to anyone.
But letting someone else fall in love with you,
without loving her and getting her pregnant,
that's wrong. You understand, Dr. Rubin?
Will you do me a favor?
Tell Michaela that if there's anything she needs...
She doesn't need anything from you.
How did you get in here?
Would you give me back the keys?
Can I please have my father's keys back?
Do me a favor and get the hell out of here.
Bombay International Airport
Hi.
Do you have by any chance a guest under the name of Mrs. Lazar?
Lazar?
Dori Lazar.
I don't think so.
Are you sure?
Let me check for you.
Yes, check it out, please.
No sir, we don't have a guest under that name.
Dori!
Dori, don't do it! No!
Sir, there is an overseas call for you.
She says it's urgent. I think it's your mother.
Mom? Mom.
Excuse me. - Yes?
Michaela Weiss? - She's in room no. 1.
Hi. - Ben.
When did you get back?
Just now, I came straight from the airport.
A girl.
She was born last night.
She's so beautiful.
She looks like her father.
What did you name her? - Shiva. "'return" in Hebrew,
Shiva? Like the Indian God?
Not exactly. I called her Shiva because
I was hoping her father would return from India one day.
Forgive me, Michaela.
Sure. So you'll come back to us.
I'm here.
I returned from India.
I'm here, Michaela.
