RON SHAHAR: Eleven Israeli couples went to the world's biggest televised competition, five of them remain in the race. Tonight they will arrive in Sri Lanka, the "Blessed Island". Here they will compete for the last four places in HaMerotz LaMillion. INTRO RON SHAHAR: At the end of a 12-hour rest period in the city of Pattaya in Thailand, the teams now left in the order of their arrival at the last finish point. Tom and Adele, who came in first place, will jump first. TOM AND ADELE, DEPARTING IN FIRST PLACE ADELE: Fly to Colombo in Sri Lanka which means the blessed island. RON SHAHAR: The last five teams of HaMerotz LaMillion must now fly on two different flights a distance of 4000 kilometres from Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, to Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. RON SHAHAR: When they land in Colombo they will have to make their way to the Susu Darame Temple belonging to the Buddhist religion which is the largest in the country. There, under a pile of coconut leaves, their first clue will be waiting for them. ADELE: Come on, go. ANAELLE AND AKIVA, DEPARTING IN SECOND PLACE Skip AKIVA: Have you ever been to Sri Lanka? ANAELLE: No, what is it? AKIVA: I do not know either. ANAELLE: Akivosh, there are two flights. You will purchase the flight tickets at the Issta representative office in Khaosan. I am very pleased. ADELE: The country of Sri Lanka. TOM: It’s an island, it seems to me. ADELE: The island is Colombo, Sri Lanka is the country. C-TOM: It sounds like a name with a lot of expectations, Sri Lanka. TOM: Here is a travellers’ centre. Skip (Colombo) ALON AND OREN, DEPARTING IN THIRD PLACE ALON: Fly to Colombo in Sri Lanka. Come on! OREN: Harel Alon and Oren. OSNAT AND CARMIT, DEPARTING IN FOURTH PLACE OSNAT: Fly to Colombo in Sri Lanka. Another target to conquer. Driver, babe, come on. BAR AND INNA, DEPARTING IN LAST PLACE BAR: Sri Lanka. Come on, mami. Skip BAR: I can't with the accent, this, only the accent makes me laugh. CARMIT: Come, come... Israel lives... Skip RON SHAHAR: The first flight lands with the top two couples on it. Skip RON SHAHAR: Tom and Adele. And Akiva and Anaelle. Skip C-ADELE: First time in the entire program that we reached first place. At the moment we are not planning to go down, we are only planning to go up. First place, we hope to only hold ourselves in first place and not fight now because these are really, the most critical days. ANAELLE: Using cellphone, driving the car also. Alright, say the travellers’ prayer, in my mother. AKIVA: May it be your will, Lord our God and the God of our fathers, that you may lead us to peace and guide us to peace and that we may reach our desired destination. Skip ADELE: Come on, go. What is this, God save. TRANSLITERATOR’S NOTE: oh fuck i didn’t realise they were this sloppy about it. I was originally only planning on revealing this at the end of this whole leg, but this leg had one final voting U-Turn that went unaired, with the board quite clearly visible at the temple entrance, either to be used before starting this next task or (more likely) coming out from finishing it. No more U-Turns/Yields will appear this season after this one, aired or unaired. I’ll discuss some theories about the outcome of this vote at the end of the whole leg. ADELE: Here. Come on, go, go, Tom, come on. TOM AND ADELE, CURRENTLY IN FIRST PLACE ADELE: You must receive the travellers’ blessing from a holy Buddhist monk, which is considered a great privilege in Sri Lanka. RON SHAHAR: The teams will open the Sri Lankan leg of the race with a blessing from a Buddhist monk. In order to appear before the monk they will have to dress in traditional clothing and sew on it themselves a holy symbol that is unique only to them. RON SHAHAR: But for the purpose of sewing, they will first have to find a needle in a haystack. After they find the needle and use it to sew the symbol, they will have to travel to the address of the monastery written on it. Here in the monastery, they will meet the monk who will give them a blessing for success and the next clue. ADELE: Come on, let's start looking. TOM: Adele, where do we start? I'm afraid we won't lose it suddenly. Maybe start on the other side? Let's start from the top maybe? ADELE: Mami, just look, just look, don't think about anything, just look, my life. Just take it all apart. C-ADELE: We arrived at such a temple with monks in Sri Lanka and we have to look for a needle in a haystack that will help us sew the monk's suit we will receive later. ADELE: God bless them all and keep them well. ANAELLE AND AKIVA, CURRENTLY IN SECOND PLACE ANAELLE: Here. You must now become Buddhist monks and receive the blessing of the road from a holy Buddhist monk, which is considered a great privilege in Sri Lanka. ANAELLE: I would definitely prefer to receive a blessing. I don't know how much it will help me, his blessing, what will I do? AKIVA: I don't believe it will help at all, I hope it won't hurt. ADELE: Mami, go crazy, I don't know, start searching like a sick person, I don't know, do it like this. TOM: That's it, I'm afraid to search like a patient and then lose it. ADELE: Mami, start looking like crazy, don't look for me in this. We won't lose it, don't worry. C-ADELE: I was all crazy there, on all those trees, and Tom was crazy, and we want to do it as quickly as possible because the couples, probably from the other plane, we thought they must have already arrived. RON SHAHAR: The second flight lands in Colombo with Oren and Alon, Ossie and Carmit and Bar and Inna on board. Skip ALON: Probably a white night, for me it's good. OREN: Yes. ALON: People don't know how to work at night, people like that, a little bit out. C-OREN: We landed very late. It's not like we're going to rest now. C-ALON: Good morning. At one in the morning. C-OREN: At one o'clock in the morning a race segment opens, and with all the intensity that it is a race segment. OREN: The more tiring, the better. ALON: Right. It's an advantage for us but on the other hand we have to be super focused, give everything we know. These are critical moments now. OSNAT: Night butterflies we are. C-OSNAT: The fact that I reached the final five for me is the top of the top. C-CARMIT: I also told Ossie even before, as it were, we must reach the end, there is no such thing as going down at the beginning. INNA: Sri Lanka. BAR: At least Sri Lanka at night. C-BAR: Today we have to get there first and it's insanely critical for us. If not, we have a half hour wait at the end point. Half an hour at such an advanced stage, of the final five, is like a day, for an ordinary person, it is at the level that you have lost a full day. Half an hour is one of the most stressful things you can get. ANAELLE: There are all kinds of animals here. TOM: Here, a spider is here, God forbid. ADELE: Excuse me, there is a spider, I'm not ready for a spider. AKIVA: Spider, not *Hebrew spider*. Spider... ADELE: That he won't accidentally get lice in my hair. AKIVA: A spider won't give you lice. TOM: Ai, mami, be careful. ADELE: I don't have time for this needle, I don't have time. I really don't have time. TOM: Bring our flashlight. ADELE: In the bag, mami. TOM: Go get him. He can help me a lot here. ADELE: Take. AKIVA: Need to find it already. ANAELLE: There is no despair in the world at all. TOM: If you have a flashlight, it helps a lot. Come on, mami, we find it. TOM: Found it. C-ADELE: Tom found a pencil of such a size that the address of the monastery where we would receive the blessing was written on it. We were very happy that we finally found it, that we are still first, that we are leading. TOM AND ADELE, CURRENTLY IN FIRST PLACE Skip ADELE: What is this, this thing? Skip C-ADELE: Thank God there was a sympathetic Houdini who dressed Tom and who didn’t want me to show anymore. C-TOM: Houdini is the one who did this thing to you in the water. C-ADELE: So Hudni. Skip C-ADELE: Oh, sorry, it was the whole monastery, it was Buddhist, I got confused. ADELE: The needle is in it, look. C-ADELE: I know how to sew, I have loved to sew all my life and I also really like to knit. I don't know how to knit anymore, yes, but I really loved knitting. ADELE: Stab, stab. TOM: My life, I don't understand this, what? C-ADELE: I also sewed for Tom a little and sewed for myself. ADELE: They need to show the symbol though, mami, they need to see the symbol, you need it the other way around. AKIVA: Shosha, it's like a little stick. ANAELLE: Shoshi, come on, honey, we're fine. I know I'll find it eventually. AKIVA: I found it, I think. I found it, I found it. ANAELLE: Yes. Here's your needle. ANAELLE AND AKIVA, CURRENTLY IN SECOND PLACE ANAELLE: Come on, honey, you're a champion. Akiva is a sewing champion. C-ANAELLE: I really like white, such a pure and clean colour and this. It was very beautiful. Akiva is also very beautiful in white, you would look like a groom, only with a skirt. C-AKIVA: Yes, do you want to marry me again? C-ANAELLE: For sure. C-AKIVA: Ready. C-ANAELLE: Even ten times I would marry you again. C-AKIVA: Done. ANAELLE: Bye. Shoshi, let's hurry, we regret every minute. AKIVA: Give me a kiss. ANAELLE: Yes, we did it. AKIVA: You look good, white. ANAELLE: Shoshi, do you think... AKIVA: A task that one time everyone needs to dress as modest as you and doesn’t need to dress as immodest as they are. (???) ANAELLE: Thank God. TOM: It's probably something dangerous, this blessing. ADELE: It seems to me something with blood, maybe blood is taken out. Skip TOM: Not knowing impurity. Skip ADELE: I'm very, very scared, mami. I think it will be something very painful. Skip C-ADELE: This Buddhist monk actually took a flower and started splashing water on us and basically blessed us for the rest of the journey. TOM: What is this thing, tell me? It’s hot? ADELE: Tom, relax, it's okay, it's a bracelet, mami. C-ADELE: He came and did this thing to us and put a white bracelet on us. Skip TOM AND ADELE, CURRENTLY IN FIRST PLACE TOM: You must come now to the mask festival of Sri Lanka. RON SHAHAR: The teams must now get to the Sri Lanka Mask Festival. In it, the participants wear masks that symbolise demons and spirits. When they get here, each of the couple will spin the mask wheel until it stops on an image of a mask. After looking at the picture, each of them will have to find a mask that exactly matches the image of the wheel that they spun. Only after they find the two exact masks will they be able to get the next clue which includes a basket, a flute and a cobra snake that the clue is underneath. ADELE: Come on, go. TOM: Come on, go. ADELE: What is this, God save? TOM: What is this, this thing? Look what horns he has. It's a mammoth, I think. ADELE: Tom, it's an elephant, it's not a mammoth. TOM: My life, it’s a mammoth. ADELE: Tom, what mammoth, a mammoth is not like that. C-ADELE: A mammoth in general in white or something like that. C-TOM: I'm willing to bet that people at home will see this elephant, say it's also a mammoth. C-ADELE: A mammoth is white, Tom, don't make yourself a moron. C-TOM: It had two tusks, four metres each, and it also had something like this on its nose, something yellow, it really looked like an elephant from the time of the Bible, something strange... C-ADELE: It was a very special elephant, it was a huge elephant. C-TOM: Illusory elephant, Illusory elephant. C-ADELE: I don't understand at all how they grow these things there. C-TOM: I have never seen such an elephant in my life. ANAELLE: Come, come. ANAELLE AND AKIVA, CURRENTLY IN SECOND PLACE C-AKIVA: As we got to this monastery, I saw all these statues and realised that this is really idolatry and we are really not going to do this task. We prefer to avoid blessing an idolater inside a temple. If you do not want to participate in the ceremony, you will have to wait until the next team receives a blessing and only at the end of their blessing will you receive the next hint. I have no reason to receive a blessing from someone who practises idolatry, it's not just vanity, it's one of the things that no human being in the world is allowed to do. I mean, it is one of the seven commandments of the sons of Noah. BAR AND INNA, CURRENTLY IN THIRD PLACE BAR: Listen, take heaps, just scatter them. ALON AND OREN, CURRENTLY IN FOURTH PLACE OREN: Wait, let's think for a second. Maybe you should deploy that first. ALON: It's better like this, like this, height. Oren, Oren, height. C-ALON: The work methodology demanded there a planning that was worth devoting two to three minutes to. ALON: It's better to do a rough initial scan and then we'll start doing... BAR: You have to use your head here, it's not...it's something really simple. INNA: Bar, it's not as fast as possible. BAR: It's not as fast as possible. INNA: Better to be precise and slow. C-INNA: We have learned our lesson from the previous missions, that no matter where you are, there is a type of mission that is best done as slowly as possible. BAR: Finding a needle in such a pile is something that is not possible. I think it's something that needs... INNA: Listen, it for sure isn't an ordinary needle. OSNAT AND CARMIT, CURRENTLY IN LAST PLACE OSNAT: Come on, babe, this is our key to the final and we're doing it. C-CARMIT: We worked with such a tactic, take out, shake to check if any needle falls. C-OSNAT: Little by little, don't just scatter the whole pile. OSNAT: Check everything you download, put it aside. BAR: I feel as if it is something that is simple, as if at the level of abstraction, simple. Can't understand. INNA: Mami, do you remember where our mistakes are? BAR: Yes. INNA: That we think one step ahead. BAR: Found it. C-BAR: I landed on the wooden needle that had the next clue written on it. OREN: Excellent. ALON: Well done. C-OREN: The blondes are already finding the needle... C-ALON: Found it! I blacked out. C-OREN: As soon as one couple finds it it’s stressful, we start to stress, we know that we...there are two couples ahead of us and already now the third couple ahead of us. We, where are we? C-ALON: The level of pressure increases. BAR AND INNA, CURRENTLY IN THIRD PLACE BAR: The team that reached the previous finish point in last place, Bar and Inna, if you do not reach the finish point of this race segment first, you will receive a thirty minute waiting time penalty on the finish point carpet. C-BAR: Somewhere all this, in other words, cuties, you have a very high chance of going home today. BAR: I know it's possible. INNA: As soon as we arrive...if we arrived first, our half hour is cancelled. BAR: I know. Inna, even if we don't believe in Buddhism, we will need this blessing, won't we? INNA: Yes. We need it, I think. BAR: Ya Allah. C-INNA: I'm very much in favour of persevering and not giving up, but I think very much also about always being realistic and aware of your situation. And when I looked at what point Bar and I are currently at, it was very, very, very difficult for me to imagine the way out of it. BAR: I believe that all karma... INNA: All good karma now. BAR: Completely. INNA: Akiva and Anaelle? What happened? What are you waiting for? AKIVA: These temples are literally a house of idolaters. If I can avoid entering a temple and receiving a blessing from a pagan, I will avoid it. C-AKIVA: We were ready for Bar and Inna to overtake us because anything related to the Halacha that we gave up did not hurt us in the game. C-ANAELLE: Right. Things have happened to me in my life that it can't be the hand of God or something like that. C-AKIVA: With Anaelle, faith comes a lot from the emotional place and that she feels the Holy One, blessed be He, and she knows he is here and she talks to him and everything. C-ANAELLE: Yes. C-AKIVA: For me it comes from a much, much more rational place. Skip C-BAR: The blessing had amazing timing. The monks themselves were also insanely charming. And they had a lotus flower, they put the flower into the water and just blessed and splashed the water on us. ANAELLE: Come, bless me to a million, Shoshi. AKIVA: Let's get out of this temple, I will bless you. ANAELLE: Well, bless me later. AKIVA: I will make you a blessing a thousand times better. C-AKIVA: There was a time when I wanted to make sure with myself that I am religious because I believe in the Holy One, blessed be He, because I choose this path myself and not just because I was born into a religious home and I simply continue things because of inertia. ANAELLE: Well, let's sit down, Shoshi. C-AKIVA: I finally came to the realisation that it is completely clear to me that there is a God in the world. And if they tell me that there is no God and that Judaism is not a true thing, they will collapse my world, they will collapse the whole matter of the Land of Israel, and I think they will collapse the matter of the Land of Israel for all Jews because we have no justification to live here without Judaism. And anyone who denies this is just another human being in the world, another eccentric wandering around the world. C-ANAELLE: Shoshi, in my opinion, you can be prime minister. C-AKIVA: Thanks, honey, for the compliment. C-ANAELLE: I will feel very secure if you will be prime minister. C-AKIVA: Thank you sweetie. C-ANAELLE: Do you want me to talk to Bibi? C-AKIVA: I am not planning to run for prime minister. C-ANAELLE: Do you want me to talk to Bibi? C-AKIVA: Yes, he will give me his seat in a second. C-ANAELLE: It is impossible to know. ANAELLE: Can you explain to me...what, we are also not allowed to receive a blessing from a Christian priest either? AKIVA: He will say to you, I bless you in the name of Jesus and the Holy Mary and all kinds of things like that? ANAELLE: I do not believe in that. AKIVA: Obviously you don't believe, but why ask for a blessing from someone like that? Skip We blessed you with protection. C-BAR: I tried to come with an open mind. In fact, today I thought to myself, if a person with a different faith would come to the Western Wall, then there are also many people who believe in a different religion and they come and they do it. It's on the level of embracing another religion even though you don't practice it. I was even a little excited at that moment. Skip BAR AND INNA, CURRENTLY IN SECOND PLACE BAR: You must come now to the Sri Lanka Mask Festival. ANAELLE AND AKIVA, CURRENTLY IN THIRD PLACE AKIVA: You must come now to the Sri Lanka Mask Festival. Skip COMING UP NEXT... TOM: Not knowing impurity, where have we come to... Skip TOM AND ADELE, CURRENTLY IN FIRST PLACE ADELE: What is this? God save, Tom. TOM; Hear Israel, what is going on here? ADELE: What is this? Where are we? TOM: Go, go, go, go. C-ADELE: When we got to the mask festival we saw there the... actually all kinds of strange people with masks dancing and we saw fire. Skip C-TOM: You have to spin a wheel with pictures of different masks and find the only mask that is exactly like the one you got on the wheel. ADELE: Come on, stop, stop. stop. TOM: Look at this for a few seconds. Skip TOM: Pay attention. ADELE: It's the big ears, right? C-ADELE: When you are given only three seconds to see a mask with so many details it is very, very difficult to remember everything. ADELE: How ugly they all are. God forbid, what are you doing?! Enough, enough, it scares me! C-ADELE: I was terribly frightened because as soon as I entered I was jumped by all kinds...and all kinds...and all kinds of such scary people jumped on me, and one wanted me like this, one wanted me like this, with such scary masks. C-ADELE: A man came to me like this, with the fire, another second my skirt burns, another second it burns me, another second... I was really very, very mentally scared. C-ADELE: I had to... at the same time they do all this... to you, so you also have to find this mask and it's very confusing for you. Skip BAR AND INNA, CURRENTLY IN SECOND PLACE C-BAR: We entered a path with complete darkness. Suddenly we hear shrieks, screams. C-INNA: Like real monsters. C-BAR: Something real, like a monster festival level. We look, we see piles of masks, something crazy inside a species like... C-INNA: Circle. C-BAR: And spits of fire and somersaults. Something like crazy, really, the most bizarre mask festival possible. C-INNA: It's such a belief that says, you have to wear these masks to drive out demons or something like that. C-BAR: When the wheel stopped, I saw a very, very clear mask and realised that it was the memory game, as if the memory game is being played here, I have to look at the character, remember it well. Go. C-BAR: Run into that circle of fire, look at all the masks and isolate what you really saw. At first when I looked then I said, wow, it's really simple. Like, what's the problem with remembering that? This is the mask. C-BAR: I ran into the circle, I see...suddenly I see a mask, I say, hey, this is it. C-BAR: Suddenly I see another... so to speak, the monster turns to me, and I say, wait, it's the same, only this one is a different colour, and then another one turns around, and I see it simply in a different colour with one more snake a little higher. As soon as you see three masks that are almost the same, with nuances different from each other, you suddenly don't remember, you say, wait, a second, was there a snake? No, wait, was it purple or was it pink? No, it was red, mind you. C-ADELE: I immediately understood that it could not be easy. It might be something very... like, it will be really, really complicated..... C-ADELE: That can really hold us back. C-BAR: You had to remember the level of the... the colour, like the level of the teeth, if it was long teeth, short, the eyes are far away. INNA: Is it confusing? BAR: Very. INNA: Do you think you found him? BAR: I think so. BAR: Wow. Great. Skip BAR: What? Skip C-BAR: With the pressure of time I have to come back inside the circle and choose once again. Until I succeed, in fact, Inna cannot advance. Skip ADELE: They attack me there and I don't like it. Mami, this could be it. Here, this is it. Skip TOM: What about him? Skip ANAELLE AND AKIVA, CURRENTLY IN THIRD PLACE ANAELLE: Here, go, go, go. AKIVA: This is it, I see it. ANAELLE: Shoshi, we have an opportunity to narrow the gap with them, after all. Hello. ANAELLE: Don't confuse me, I need to be focused. Thank God. Wait. Maybe something good. There is a nice atmosphere there. AKIVA: Shosha, notice the snake's head. ANAELLE: I notice, don't talk to me. Smile, two snakes up, Smile, two snakes up, white horns. C-AKIVA: Anaelle has a photographic memory. C-ANAELLE: It's from childhood because when you grow up in very, very big cities, like Paris, where I grew up, you have to find yourself. I remember that as a child I would always make points for myself. Here is such a sign in such a colour, here I have to go back, here I have to meet... and it was very simple for me. Skip (Nice to meet you, I hope it’s good) AKIVA: Shosha, you found it? ANAELLE: It was the only one with a smile and two snakes. Let's hope. Okay. ANAELLE: Hallelujah. AKIVA: Excellent. ANAELLE: Come on. You see, I made signs to myself. ANAELLE: That he doesn't get anything difficult. AKIVA: Someone with earrings and snakes on his head. ANAELLE: Snake up, the head. AKIVA: Snake up. ANAELLE: Snake up, like a dragon with wings, highest. INNA: Do you think you found him? BAR: Seems like yes. Skip C-INNA: Personally, the mask that came out for me on the wheel... there were two such masks, completely identical, it was really to grab it in... in a completely random and sharp way. Skip BAR: Please, please, please, let it be this, please, please. Yes. Great, excellent, thank you. C-INNA: For the first time in this race it really worked, that we were able to stand on the ground and not get carried away by fears of elimination and how the other contestants pass us, advance next to us, ignore it completely and concentrate on the task. R-BAR: Once you have identified the masks you must get your clue from another festival participant. INNA: Mother, how scary. OREN: You have to divide it into parts, not make a big pile and go over everything again and a big pile and go over everything again. ALON: So you want corners, everyone will take a corner and... OREN: No, let's separate into piles, into four piles, and check each pile properly so that we don't have to repeat the same pile again. OSNAT: Well, come on, mami. Needle. Come on. Come on, honey. CARMIT: What happened to this needle? What, is she sick? OSNAT: If I find our needle, I will sew yours too. Skip ALON: Carmit also found it. Skip OSNAT AND CARMIT, CURRENTLY IN FOURTH PLACE CARMIT: It doesn't close. Maybe the measurements were wrong? OSNAT: That's it, I'm already in white, I can find a groom, do you want to get married? C-OSNAT: No, we really felt like brides, only we had to look for a groom, that's all. OSNAT: Oh, the brothers haven't found it yet. OREN: Let's start going through the bales again. ALON: What, start over, yours? OREN: What to do? C-ALON: We stayed there, last, three in the morning, humidity, like in Sri Lanka, 250 percent. C-OREN: Our hands... C-ALON: Sweating. C-OREN: The hands are black. We are on our knees alternately and sweep the sand as well, so the hands too...the fingers are torn from the sand, squishy, not gentle, hard. ALON: We have been here for an hour. CARMIT: What blessing will this monk give us? OSNAT: Success in life, health. The most important thing is health, a good livelihood. OSNAT: You have to take off your shoes. C-OSNAT: Everywhere the place is respected as are its customs. And we received a blessing. C-CARMIT: It would sound like a blessing. C-OSNAT: Who knows? We hope they didn't curse us, we didn't understand them at all. OSNAT AND CARMIT, CURRENTLY IN FOURTH PLACE OSNAT: You now have to get to the mask festival of Sri Lanka. C-INNA: The second step in the mask task was to extract the clue from the snake cage. Our job was...one plays the flute to engage the attention of the snakes and the other tries to pull out the next clue with large tweezers. INNA: Bar, he really stresses me out though. INNA: Start playing. BAR: Inna, grab it by the head. INNA: No, I don't need to catch him. I need to take the hint. C-INNA: Suddenly Bar starts playing the flute and the snake starts to catch, and it was a cobra snake. C-BAR: No, was that a cobra? Really? INNA: Bar, he's looking at me. C-INNA: It was a cobra snake, it spread its sails, pulled out its dancing tongue and really...gave me such a menacing look. I try to ignore him and get to the clue while the other snake continues to dance, and the situation starts to stress me out. INNA: Enough, he scares me, enough. C-INNA: Those little eyes manage to penetrate into mine and transmit something. I mean, I felt some kind of threat from him, it was really sharp. C-BAR: And the rattling noise of the snake didn't help much either. Skip ADELE: You are the most beautiful! What is this? God save. Tom, this is him. Skip AKIVA: I brought the right one for sure. Skip AKIVA: I told you. ANAELLE: You are a champion. Beautiful, thank God. Onwards. AKIVA: Mother, I hate snakes, I hate snakes. It's a cobra. ANAELLE: Come and see, may God have mercy, may your name perish. AKIVA: There are two there. ANAELLE: Why did they create such animals, in my mother.
