"YES" AND "EIGHT PRODUCTIONS" PRESENT

I contacted the patients.

I said that all sessions would be canceled for a week.

The children were very scared.

I was scared too.

I'm going to give birth soon.

When I saw you on the gurney,

my first thought was that it was another one of your tests.

I'm not that clever, doctor.

I find that hard to believe.

Shock wave therapy helped you, at least for a while.

Is everything alright?

Yes.

This experiment of yours needs to stop.

Are you dissatisfied with the sessions?

No, I'm worried about your health.

Did you think there would be no consequences?

Night shifts don't come without a price, and I know what I'm talking about.

The body is not all-powerful, nor is the mind.

The test results are not pleasing.

Low iron, high cholesterol, high blood pressure.

At this rate, you'll end up in the grave.

So I ended up here because of my work?

Yes, it's all interconnected.

I'll make a note of that.

That's not enough.

It could end badly. Do you understand?

And you can't afford that.

I read

about your wife in our file.

I offer my condolences, truly,

But that's precisely why you must stop.

Okay.

Can I go?

Yes.

Get changed.

Thank you, Dr. Bar-Lev.

Today is Wednesday.

NIGHT THERAPY

EPISODE TEN THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING

Iris, what are you doing here?

Mira said you were being discharged, and asked me to pick you up.

How are you feeling? I was so worried.

I'm fine, thank you. Really. False alarm.

- They could have chosen a better painting. - Yeah.

How are patients supposed to react to this?

We should tell the department head.

Well?

Are you ready to go?

Then let's go, I'll escort you home.

Iris, I'm sorry.

What for?

For not being able to hold her back.

Louis, you did everything you could.

And yet it wasn't enough.

I didn't believe she would really go through with it.

If I had believed it, I could have done something and saved her.

Listen, Louis.

You can't save everyone.

I know you want to, but you can't save everyone.

Not everyone, Iris.

Just her, that's all.

Such emotional wounds don't heal and can shatter an entire life.

She made her choice, and you made yours.

And it seems to be the wrong one.

But I don't think so.

Dr. Katz, you are being called to room number 1632.

Don't rush.

In the water, we literally and figuratively shed all our burdens.

Everything that weighs us down.

And it's also a chance to think about the miracle that is growing inside you.

Okay.

Or don't think at all. Let go of everything.

Let go, huh? I'm used to handling everything myself.

Don't be afraid.

I'll hold you.

There you go.

Hi, Louis.

Hi.

Can we talk?

Sure, come over.

I'm already here.

- Where? - At your clinic.

You're just in time, I was just packing up. Sit there?

No, thank you.

Good chair.

It's heard thousands of my conversations.

What would we do without a chair?

Are you leaving it?

I don't need it, let others use it.

Listen, Yair...

I acted hastily and perhaps unwisely,

so I decided to withdraw the complaint.

I don't like the position I put you in because of me.

You did what you had to do.

Yes, that's what I used to think.

And now?

I don't know. I just want to move on.

I want the same.

After treating people for almost 30 years, you think you've seen and heard it all.

And then

something like this happens.

You're right, we were close with her.

Very close.

And I did everything to help her, but it wasn't enough.

Her death doesn't give me peace.

You didn't mention this.

People like us don't like to share.

After Shiran's death, I felt like I lost

my bearings in life and work became a burden to me.

So I decided,

that's enough for me.

Well,

what are you going to do now?

I'll go to California.

I've been invited to teach a few subjects. So I'll return to the academic environment.

Anyway, I'll start everything from scratch.

If one more patient comes to me

with issues with a domineering mother, I would have exploded.

Would you want to change anything?

Absolutely everything.

I'm tired.

Listen, Louis,

if I've learned anything about our work, it's that it's not always about us.

Our patients have their own lives, and they choose their own path.

Do you still work at night?

I may not continue.

Well, think about it, you're on the right track.

Good luck to you.

You too.

Hello, sunshine.

- Are you okay? - Yes, everything is great.

Hugs.

- Let's go! - Let's go.

- Let's go right. - Now.

Right!

- Well done. - We're driving, dad!

KARIM

Hello.

Hello.

So, how's it going? Have you arrived already?

Taken straight from the airport to the studio. So much to do, can't catch a breath.

Shall we talk later?

No, no, I wanted to hear your voice.

How are you?

- Everything okay? - Yes, good.

I've missed you.

Can you hear me?

I just wanted to say...

Our situation has been unusual, but I've come to terms with it.

You're doing what you have to do, and I will always support you.

Truly.

I have to run, darling. We'll talk tomorrow morning, okay?

I love you. With all my heart.

Karim?

I have to go, I'll call as soon as I'm free.

Mira!

You're back already? I thought you'd go get a bite to eat.

We've missed you.

Dad said we won't eat without Mira.

How sweet you are.

There's a whole bunch of hamburgers, fries...

Here.

I'm ready to stay with the little one.

Look at all this.

I'm sure he heard you.

Well, of course. We'll be the best of friends.

- This is for you. - Great!

Onion rings.

- Okay. - Sauce.

- Delicious. - Dig in.

And where? Here.

- Really? - Yes.

- Good night. - You too.

Bye.

- You've arrived. - Yes.

- Come in. - How are you feeling?

Good, thank you.

You didn't heed my advice.

As I said, I took note of it.

But I'm grateful to you for getting me back on my feet so quickly.

You're welcome. It's my job.

Shall we discuss our last session?

You were very angry then.

Yes.

It was partly my fault, I admit.

During this week after our session

I've been thinking about what you said.

You kept returning to Lea's death,

and I got upset and assured you that I didn't care about that case.

But to be honest,

it hasn't left me.

I keep replaying that evening in my head

and can't find answers that satisfy me.

In the last session, I behaved badly and want to apologize.

Sometimes the pain is so great that we don't want to touch the wound.

When we are in pain, we start to get angry.

It's natural.

I didn't tell you something.

Since then, I can't sleep.

I lie in bed for hours, but I just can't fall asleep.

As soon as I drift off into a restless sleep, a new day begins.

I've tried everything, honestly.

I stopped eating sweets after my shift.

I thought maybe that was the problem.

I went for a run to exhaust myself, but that didn't help either.

Not at all.

It's starting to affect my work.

Thank goodness your case was mild,

otherwise your children would have sued me for negligence.

I'm at my wit's end.

Seriously, I can't take it anymore.

The smallest thing irritates me, and the days have turned into one endless day.

My wife and son can't wait for me to go to work.

I've developed a habit of pacing the room and waiting,

for someone to make some kind of mistake

so that I can finally take out my anger on that person.

Last week, my son

cooked a meal.

He loves cooking shows

and made me poached eggs and French toast.

Like in a restaurant, he even plated it beautifully.

He said he would serve the dish.

And so I sat down at the table

and I see: he comes with a plate,

and his hands are trembling.

He was afraid to drop it, and I secretly hoped

that the food would scatter all over the kitchen and I could yell at him.

A real psycho.

That night I cried in bed.

Can you imagine?

My wife didn't understand anything,

but I still had that picture in front of my eyes,

of my son approaching me, with his hands shaking.

And then suddenly you were brought in.

Incredible.

That's why I came.

Because I feel that I'm about to break soon.

It's inevitable.

Is this a familiar state to you?

You can snap at any moment.

If you said that this is familiar to you,

I wouldn't feel so lonely and ashamed.

So humiliating.

I know what it's like,

unlike you, Noam.

You could discuss important topics with me instead of putting on this act.

This performance.

And you're doing well.

Really.

Bravo!

What did I slip up on?

Come on, tell me.

What?

Overdoing the despair? The details?

I knew I shouldn't have told you

about my son, the plate, and his trembling hands.

But if you could see your face. For a few seconds, you fell for it.

Why do you always think that you need to overcome me during the session?

To break and defeat.

It is the victory that you want.

No, no, enough. Do you think you've figured me out?

But that's not the case.

You know what?

You don't save or help, you can barely cope yourself. Understand?

It's all self-importance, excessively inflated.

You just tell people what's wrong with them and how to fix it,

and that they need to love themselves, as if that will help.

You don't save lives.

Clear? No, I save them. Not you, but me.

I really love my job.

And I've been doing it since my student days.

I put in so much effort,

and all you need to do is

say thank you and not get in the way.

Is that so hard? Well, say it.

Is this what you wanted from Lea?

We won't do that again.

Trying to put it all together and impose your opinion on everything.

Yes, this is what I wanted from Lea.

May she rest in peace, I'm serious. All of this is very sad, I admit.

But if you could see the emergency room right now.

It's running like clockwork.

And I'm sleeping like a baby.

Tell me,

do you know Professor Zelinger?

Ishaya Zelinger? Yes, a brilliant psychotherapist.

Who can recognize another brilliant mind, professor.

Did he give you permission to work?

He did, and I sent it to his superiors.

Now it's all in the past.

What do you mean "it's all in the past now"?

I got what I wanted, and the whole ordeal is behind me.

So you feel that way?

No, stop it. What difference does it make anyway?

What feelings? They are overrated.

In the medical profession, they are unnecessary.

In our work, it's better to avoid feelings, and that's what you don't understand.

Unlike Professor Zelinger.

Okay.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you this:

I no longer need your services and that I'm leaving.

I won't come next week, so you don't have to wait for me.

Well, if that's the case, I'll schedule another patient in your time slot.

You look different.

Yes.

I got a haircut.

It's nice that you noticed.

My mom always cut my hair,

but this time I decided to go to a hairdresser for the first time.

Interesting.

My knees were shaking.

But I found a salon near my home,

and the owner agreed to open up earlier,

so there were no other clients,

and it all went wonderfully, I even enjoyed it.

It's great that he went along with you.

- Yes. - I'm glad.

The book,

that you gave me.

I read it.

And it turned out to be quite interesting.

I've been wondering all the time, why you gave it to me,

and I think I can now say.

Do you want to hear?

And what else am I needed for?

Okay. First of all...

Anyway, okay, first I thought,

it's because the main character cut himself off from the whole world, like me,

but the story has a sad ending,

the character dies of hunger, in solitude.

And I know you don't wish me death.

So then I thought, maybe you gave me this book,

to show what happens when someone withdraws from people.

But then I told myself, that's not your style.

I started to wonder, what else could you have been trying to tell me with this gift?

In short,

I kind of

tried to look at everything through your eyes.

You have

a positive outlook on life,

and you're a true optimist.

So I assumed,

that for you this story is not about loneliness or tragedy,

but rather about a great, wonderful adventure.

The book has a tragic ending,

But the main thing is that the hero in the end reconciled with himself and was happy.

In general, this is what I eventually came to.

I'm glad you're analyzing everything so thoroughly.

Am I right?

In other words, I wanted the book to give you an experience.

The hero is open to new sensations, but you avoid them.

You didn't choose this life yourself, now we know that.

It was a psychological defense against trauma.

A protective mechanism.

Yes.

How do I turn it off?

Slowly and carefully.

Like a bomb?

I remembered the question you asked at the last session.

"What should I do now?"

Let's discuss it.

You start.

Okay.

Why did you come to me for therapy?

Because you crave relationships.

I crave relationships.

Real ones, with a real person, not a nickname in a chat or a persona.

Yes.

But something is holding you back.

Continue.

I don't go out of the house.

And I don't socialize with people.

I

feel like I don't exist.

I'm invisible.

It's as if

I'm standing aside, and life is just passing me by.

The train is moving on,

and you're left at the station.

Can I ask a question?

What's wrong with me?

What's wrong with me?

I know this is all abnormal.

And it's not really anything terrible, I'm not crazy or anything like that.

But I'm behaving abnormally.

What's wrong with me?

I can name the diagnosis, but I don't think it matters.

It does.

It's important, I want to know.

What do you want?

I want you to name it.

My flaw.

Now you should say that there's nothing wrong with me.

But you feel otherwise.

Okay.

I notice signs of borderline personality disorder in you.

On the one hand, it protects you.

You feel safe.

But on the other hand,

you suffer from this isolation and sense of inadequacy.

You're afraid of people, afraid of getting close to them,

afraid of not being accepted, of being abandoned.

What keeps you locked up is not the big scary world, but people.

I could say:

come on, go out, meet people, build relationships.

But for you, that step

is the most difficult.

I really can't.

- I know. - Just

thinking about it - and I'm shaking.

Yes.

I want to overcome this fear.

I know, that's why you came.

Well, how can I not be afraid of fear?

Nothing to say?

I think.

Okay, then tell me what it's about.

I think,

how we should continue the therapy.

In what sense?

You talked about how much you need to learn and feel,

in order to then safely and calmly go out into the outside world.

However, I think you are already ready to take this important step.

Time to decide.

- What, me? - Yes.

The choice is always yours.

I can't help you with that.

What if I let you?

In one hand a coin, in the other - paper. Choose.

What?

In one hand a coin, in the other - paper. Choose.

And what does the coin mean?

That we'll go outside together now.

And the paper?

We'll continue the conversation here.

But I... How...

And how am I supposed to choose? I can't.

If you can't do it yourself, let the universe decide.

The right hand.

- Are you sure? - Yes!

- You won't be able to change it. - The right one!

The right one.

What do you want to see?

What do you want to see in your hand?

A coin.

It's there, isn't it?

We'll never know that.

Come with me.

What?

Where?

Let's take that same train.

Let's go.

Well?

Where are we going?

Wherever we want.

What do you want: a bicycle or a scooter?

I've dreamed of riding on them.

Today that dream will come true.

What to do?

- Put one foot here. - Okay.

Push off with the other.

This is the gas.

This is the brake. That's it.

- Is that it? - Push off.

- Got it. - Not too hard.

Alright, now, now.

Let's go.

Okay, good.

Oh God!

- Get up! Good! - Cool.

- Alright. Nice. - And how do I go back?

Turn!

Now. Oh my! God, god, god!

Super! On the gas.

Brake, brake, brake!

- Got it! - Well done!

Wait for me.

How does it feel?

So much...

Adrenaline?

Air.

There's so much air around.

Breathe deeply.

How wonderful.

Today is the 26th of Tammuz, year 5084.

The sun is in Leo, and the Moon

is in Scorpio.

And it's four in the morning

in three, two, one, now.

Let's remember this date.

I'm a master at this.

You are a master of many things.

You always see the good in me.

How could it be otherwise?

I'll see you in a week.

Sensei!

Hello.

Hello.

Wow!

Decided to change your profession?

Become a salesman?

You're doing quite well at it.

Yeah? You think so?

Yes, you can work for me.

I pay well, take care of the staff,

and there are various bonuses.

Wow, that's tempting.

I love my job, but I clearly need changes in my life.

Changes are good.

Listen.

I've been through hell and, to be honest, I'm just starting to come back to life.

And I...

It's all right.

You don't have to explain. I can see it in your eyes.

And you don't need to apologize either.

Funny. When you finally take a deep breath,

your vision clears, and you notice all the things you didn't see before.

I want to invite you somewhere on Friday,

if you're not busy, of course.

How much of a date is this on a scale of one to ten?

Ten.

And how serious are you?

Ten.

Then I'm not busy.

Okay.

See you on Friday?

Yes.

The main thing is not to miss them. They last exactly 40 minutes.

Don't worry, everything will be for the best.

Thank you.

We're here.

Don't forget the bag.

Wait, I'll help you!

Carefully now. Let's go.

Peace!

- Let's go. - Why is that?

- Where's mom? - She's on her way.

- Well, let's go. - Wait. - What?

- Just a second. - Okay.

Alright, let's go with God.

Amen!

Hello. Please, come in.
