RON SHAHAR: Eleven Israeli couples went to the biggest TV game in the world. Six of them remain in the race. TONIGHT ON HAMEROTZ LAMILLION... RON SHAHAR: The couple who come here last may find themselves out of the race. INTRO RON SHAHAR: The teams are now making their way to their next destination in Beijing, the Liangzi Massage Institute. Skip RON SHAHAR: Ossie and Carmit and Bar and Inna have not yet completed the Wheel of Misfortune side of the Detour mission. BAR: I have not eaten meat since time immemorial, I can not eat it. RON SHAHAR: Oren and Alon and Akiva and Anaelle are now approaching the next destination. AKIVA: Everything is tight today, come on. ALON: Come on, Oren, come on, I want to like ... to stay away from all the...guys. Skip ALON: Yoo, everything here ... Skip ALON: Oren, they will not cut here. They do not take passengers here. OREN: So what are you, where do you want to go? They will cut sometime. C-ALON: We put on those shoes and look like two stuck. Skip ALON: Hit, hit.. Skip ALON: Be careful. Get on your shoe. C-ALON: These shoes, everything we did with them became a nightmare. OREN: Push the fence a little, look, like this. Skip AKIVA: He's full, he's full. Shosha, you ticked off this task, congratulations. Wherever we go according to halakha we never lose. C-ANAELLE: Thank God, in a crazy miraculous way we managed the mission on the first attempt that it just made us close the whole entire gap that we had. Skip AKIVA: Here, here he's letting someone off, Shosha. Shosha, he's letting someone off here. Skip C-AKIVA: With these weird shoes you tried on on the road. ANAELLE: Mother. ANAELLE: No doubt I am terribly pleased with these shoes, although they are uncomfortable, they ventilate my feet a bit. AKIVA: How do you find something positive in it? ANAELLE: How cute, even their hello, ni hao. Like some kitten. Ni hao. TOM; Come on, go. Come on, go. ADELE: You want to fall and break your head, really? Do you want to twist your leg suddenly? C-ADELE: China is a very difficult country, very difficult people, very difficult language, their writing is very difficult, their speech is very difficult. Skip TOM: Adele, ask here. Skip C-ADELE: What they are doing is very difficult, what they are eating is very disgusting, everything around China is really difficult. C-TOM: Their high heels are very difficult. C-ADELE: Their high heels are very difficult. ADELE: Enough, I do not have the strength for this anymore, well. ADELE: I did not run, I fell now, I did not run in life. I did not run, did you see I fell? Do you want me to fall and I will twist my leg? Is that what you want? Look, look, do you see what's happening? TOM: What’s wrong with you? ADELE: Do you see what’s happening? TOM: What’s wrong with you? What’s this? ADELE: I fall and you do not care. TOM: What’s wrong with you? ADELE: My leg hurts. TOM: How did you fall for it, mami? ADELE: What how? Fell. What is this how did I fall for it? Falling like that, boom, boom, falling, boom trakh. Skip ALON: Like two stuck. ALON AND OREN, CURRENTLY IN FIRST PLACE ALON: Roadblock. C-ALON: I see red, my heart is already falling, I am anxious about the Roadblock missions, the strategy between us that I will finish as many Roadblock missions as soon as possible, get it out of my head. ALON: For those who come to indulge? I’ll do it. RON SHAHAR: A Roadblock task is a task that only one team member can perform. Team members must distribute the Roadblock missions equally throughout the entire race. In the current Roadblock mission the performing team member must undergo a Chinese massage - or perhaps a Chinese torture? RON SHAHAR: Reflexology is an ancient Chinese science that provides healing to the body through foot massage. After walking in Chinese high heels the feet definitely need release. One of the couple now has to sit down for a foot massage that tens of thousands of Chinese go through every day. After a short sip of green tea he will have to indulge in a foot massage for twenty minutes. The masseur will press with her fingers in the right places on the thin line between pleasure and pain. In case of extreme pain, the recipient of the massage can ask to stop the massage. But then he will have to start it all over again. Only a couple who goes through the massage in full will get the following hint. ALON: You should enjoy a cup of warm tea and get a deep Chinese massage on your feet. Only after twenty minutes of massage will you get the following hint. C-ALON: What fun that I took it. C-OREN: Completely upside down. C-ALON: Completely upside down, was scared of the Roadblock and here I am going to get a foot massage for 20 minutes. ALON: Come on, let's tick this off, what a Roadblock mission, eh? Skip ALON: Yoo, what a stink of tea. OREN: How is the water? ALON: Pleasant. ALON: Disgusting. Yoo, disgusting, Oren. OREN: It’s hot? Is it hot? Skip OREN: Give two sips and finish if it's not hot. ALON: You know what, what poison is this thing? I'm suffering ... C-ALON: I drank the shocking, bitter cup of green tea. OREN: Now it starts the twenty minutes. C-ALON: She kind of started playing with my legs, turned around, I kicked, it seemed to me like a normal task. ALON: Yoo, what a Roadblock. ALON: I'm happier. OREN: Could it be that there is no catch in this mission? ALON: Of course. AKIVA: They do it, what a cool thing. ANAELLE: What? AKIVA: What is this thing? ANAELLE: It's a dance. AKIVA: Yes, what are they dancing like in the middle of the street? ANAELLE: Maybe to bring people to the restaurant. AKIVA: How funny, ya Allah. ANAELLE: How cool they are, totally. AKIVA: Something else. ANAELLE: It's cool. They too are not ashamed, as tough and not smiling as they are. Look what a culture they have. AKIVA: I'm happy with the Chinese at the moment. ANAELLE: Truly. AKIVA: Here. ANAELLE: Here, okay. AKIVA: Okay. Skip ANAELLE AND AKIVA, CURRENTLY IN SECOND PLACE ANAELLE: For those who come to indulge? AKIVA: Treat yourself, baby. ANAELLE: God will save me from any guard. OREN: Cigars and I'll bring you a glass of whiskey now. ALON: Yoo, bro, here it starts. Bro, bro, yoo, yoo, yoo, yoo... ALON: It hur- *screams* Not normal. Skip ALON: It hurts, it hurts, it hurts. Skip ALON: She's killing my leg. OREN: Okay, this, this is it right now. C-ALON: It's excruciating pain, excruciating pain in the legs. I say, unbearable. Skip AKIVA: Careful, careful now, I do not want you to fall. C-ANAELLE: Precisely the place looks very nice and very inviting and very fun and in another second is going to pamper me and everything is fine. Skip C-ANAELLE: And I hear screams in her name, God save. ANAELLE: The Lord will have mercy, will keep me safe. ALON: Oren, Oren, it hurts! OREN: Shout. ALON: Shut up already! It's inhuman. Skip OREN: Do not lift your legs, do not lift ... Do not lift your legs. ALON: Oren, be with me, do not tell me now to ... OREN: I'm with you, press me, press as hard as you can. Skip ANAELLE: Calm down, calm down, sweetheart, calm down please in your mother. Hallelujah, Shoshi! She’s crazy. Skip ANAELLE: Shoshi, Shoshi, this isn’t funny. You don’t know what she's doing, I don’t know, I don’t know how I will get through it. C-ANAELLE: I do not know how I'm going to get out of this alive and for twenty minutes I have to put up with this. C-ALON: I scream in pain, murder, murder, murder. C-AKIVA: Screams and crying, it was chilling, the maternity ward sounded more relaxing than that. C-ANAELLE: Blessed be the name of birth, we all want to go through it coming out with something, the most amazing thing in the world comes out of birth. Here we have to suffer out of torture, out of choice. I chose to suffer, I am mentally ill, I told Akiva, I need pills, you will hospitalise me. OSNAT: Does not go down. Like you’re eating a bite and swelling even more. OSNAT: You don’t know how to cook rice, raised by your mother, that's how you cook rice? It's dry. What, do not wet a little? Anything, spices? What a mold. Skip OSNAT: It does not move. OSNAT: How can you not have eyes like that? Constantly pooping with effort. CARMIT: With effort. OSNAT: If I try like this, the eyes will answer ... OSNAT: Yes, babe, how handsome you are. I would like you as my groom. OSNAT: Can no longer. Can no longer. Skip MOTI: We're going to Liangzi Foot Massage. Skip MOTI: The problem is that all the drivers here are idiots, that's the point, it's not that we fell for one idiot. They do not understand a word of English eh? PUNDAK: No. C-PUNDAK: People do not understand a word of what we say. You only tell him the word English, no, no, no, no ... PUNDAK: Let's hope we're going to the right place. MOTI: Don’t be so happy, drive. C-MOTI: We said this would be our biggest problem in the race, dumb taxi drivers. Skip TOM: Where are we, in God’s name? ADELE: Oh my god, what's going on here, Tom? Tom, Tom ... TOM; Look where the cab driver stopped us. There are things like that. C-ADELE: By the time we finally find a cab here, he's bringing you to a place that's not about life. ADELE: These Chinese will kill us in the end. C-ADELE: What, you're Chinese, you're supposed to know where you live, you're supposed to know where everything is, you're also a taxi, you're supposed to know. TOM: Let's take a cab. Skip ADELE: Yes travel right, no travel right, go there, go there. TOM: Here, here. Skip TOM: So stop on the side, stop, stop. Skip ADELE: How tasty this is. TOM: How tasty. BAR: I do not eat meat, I am disgusted with meat, I can not eat it. Yoo, mother, enough. INNA: Yoo, my poor thing. C-BAR: Today we were spread out in the toughest U-Turn that has been in the race so far from its inception up until now. There is no doubt that we ate the zambor in the hardest way possible. C-BAR: I ideologically, it was very very difficult with this task, very difficult for me, I had a very difficult time. Also the fact that I have not eaten meat for six, seven years and so much meat. INNA: Bar, let it go, I can't see you like this. BAR: I'm such an idiot for doing this. INNA: Please, don’t look at it. INNA: Well done you. INNA: My mami- BAR: Enough. INNA: What? BAR: Do not touch me. INNA: Why are you reacting to me like this? BAR: Because I can not, I need to be in it, it’s not about you. C-BAR: I will not really retire now and say to Inna, Inna, we do not do it because of my difficulty with meat. So no, I'm over my crazy difficulty with meat, I'll shut my mouth and I'm eating it, there's nothing to be done. BAR: Oh, that's so repulsive to me. C-BAR: After all it's just food, in the end, these Chinese, I said to myself in my head, Bar, they eat it, it's all a matter of culture, like in India you don't eat a cow and it's sacred and with us it's the most accessible and fun thing in the world and for them it is not, so it's a matter of culture and mentality. INNA: Bar, I'm sorry. C-BAR: I did not feel sorry for myself but my conscience fucked me over. How repulsive it is. Yoo, my poor thing. C-BAR: Like there is no way I am going back home to this now, I have finished this task. INNA: Well done you. C-INNA: My feelings for Bar as a person and appreciation, just intensify day by day. It really strengthens us, each for herself and our relationship together, it's really like, this race is the baby of both of us. C-BAR: It's just like that. C-INNA: It is an experience that ... C-BAR: It's just my and her own creation, no one can be a partner in this experience like me and like Inna, ever, it can’t happen ever. C-INNA: Forever. This is something that will accompany us forever. BAR AND INNA, CURRENTLY IN FIFTH PLACE BAR: You have to reach the Liangzi Massage Centre, where you will find the following hint. AD BREAK Skip PUNDAK: Here, here, Liangzi, Liangzi. Skip MOTI: These shoes are killing me. PUNDAK AND MOTI, CURRENTLY IN THIRD PLACE MOTI: Roadblock. PUNDAK: For those who like to indulge? I prefer that you do this. MOTI: Come on. ANAELLE: She’s crazy, Akiva, she’s crazy. You do not know what she's doing. Wait, wait, wait... AKIVA: Do not run away, do not move. C-ANAELLE: It's a pain we do not know, let's say, that it's hard for me to believe that someone comes to this massage voluntarily. Skip ANAELLE: Wait, does she not relax every now and then? AKIVA: No, she's not relaxing, that's the point. C-ANAELLE: It was deadly in levels, it was a thing ... it was unbearable. I just said, wait, Anaelle, stop, stop for a moment, take strength, renew your strength, stop and start again. ANAELLE: Shoshi, are you here? Shoshi? ALON: I'll break her wrist, I'll break you. ALON: Give me a hand, give me a hand. OREN: Press. C-ALON: I grab his hand like that. C-ALON: Screams of terror. C-ALON: My leg just hurt. ALON: That monster. OREN: Poor thing. ALON: Poor thing, feel sorry for her. I'm crying too. ALON: What do you feel sorry for? OREN: Because, you know, she is unaware of the intensity and level of suffering of people. C-OREN: I was a little more sensitive in this matter, because I am a very, very sensitive person. C-ALON: Very, very, empathetic and sensitive and caring. ALON: Enough, enough, it hurts me. ALON: Yoo, what a nightmare. C-ALON: This is the most painful thing I have ever had in my life. Skip OREN: Poor thing. ALON AND OREN, CURRENTLY IN FIRST PLACE Route Info. ALON: What is the clue hidden in the string of songs? RON SHAHAR: Crews must now reach 798, Beijing's bustling art district. Here they will have to find two Chinese with a contrabass. There are a billion Chinese living ... RON SHAHAR: Couples will have to listen through their tablet to a number of Hebrew songs related to China. Chinese mystics ... RON SHAHAR: Their next clue is moving through the streets of the compound and is two Chinese with a contrabass, as the song goes. Once they recognize the song in the string of other songs being played, they will have to find two Chinese with a contrabass that a policeman constantly shoos off and that’s that. Once they meet them they will have to sing the song to them. Two Chinese with a contrabass... RON SHAHAR: Only after they complete the song to the end will they get the next hint. OREN: Now your legs hurt? ALON: Obviously. Skip OREN: Murderous pain, murder, murder? ALON: Murder, murder, murder. Skip ALON: A song that will appear in front of you on the street. OREN: You have to identify the songs and see some performance or something there. ALON: Nurit Galron and Shlomo Artzi. OREN: The Mystics. They are my private life ... with the tooth that has been rocking for me for four days. OREN: This is Ariel Zilber. I think about it and then forget C-ALON: Travel to zone 798 when we are supposed to find something on the street according to three Israeli songs. OREN: There is nothing to keep listening to every song. ALON: Listen, what? What nothing? Billion Chinese, it already solves for you? OREN: That's the name of the song. ALON: So what? OREN: So what, it's not ... ALON: Listen, do you have anything better to do? C-ALON: Looking for a sign. It's like, it seems obvious it's so simple but you do not know what you are looking for, that it may be in the program one of the most challenging things, that you do not know what you are supposed to look for. PUNDAK: Hot? So drink it with one gulp. Gulp, cold, put everything in. You have no choice. C-MOTI: She takes your nerve, she massages and she penetrates and puts in and turns and ... as one has to pamper, pamper, she pampers to the end. Puts in and does and does and does and it hurts. INNA: Bar, try to stop a cab. Skip INNA: Here, open the trunk. [sic] (unsubtitled) INNA: It's so annoying on the inside that we do not deserve this U-Turn, it just does not deserve us. Once we arrived first, we sighed all as if ... each position creaked in the teeth, come last, turn everything as if giving ... like squeezing the juice, just to get there. C-INNA: On the one hand you can yes, turn up and say, yes like, I'm a little proud or I'm a little threatening and finally I'm a little annoying to the rest of the group, on the other hand it's hurting somewhere. BAR: It's already getting personal. INNA: It's like, it's the most personal in the world. BAR: But I don’t understand why. Skip C-PUNDAK: I really did not feel sorry for him, if we were not under pressure it would have been, the task I most enjoyed in HaMerotz LaMillion. C-MOTI: More than the fire? C-PUNDAK: More than the fire, because fire can do you no harm, here you really suffered. C-PUNDAK: I would literally sit and enjoy. C-MOTI: You see, this is a partner who came with you to HaMerotz LaMillion, to be with you, you understand? This is a friend, you understand? This is an acquaintance, you understand? This is a person who calls you 60 times a day. C-PUNDAK: Acquaintance, acquaintance. C-MOTI: This is a person who drives you crazy about everything. This is a person you have been counselling for 20 years of life. Do you understand? This is a person who wants you to suffer. ADELE: Here, Liangzi Foot Massage, here. TOM AND ADELE, CURRENTLY IN FOURTH PLACE TOM: For those who come to indulge? Do you want to do that, mami? C-ADELE: Here is the hint, who wants to be pampered, so maybe you will be pampered? Now there is no such thing as a Roadblock mission of indulgence, especially not in HaMerotz LaMillion. ADELE: Mami, it's a Roadblock, it's not really for those who come to indulge. TOM: Do it, mami, we'll each have done three, I think it's going to be fine for you. ADELE: Well, fine, no problem. C-ADELE: And he still told me I would do it. So I did not have the strength to quarrel with Tom anymore, I said to myself, Adele, no problem, do it. TOM: Are you doing it? Flowing? Come on, mami. C-ADELE: I said, thank you, my life, for bringing me, for that, really thank you for the Roadblock. ADELE: Can I get through this, Moti? MOTI: You've suffered Tom for three years, you can go through anything. ADELE: Ick, what's this tea? C-ADELE: It was the most shocking tea I have ever tasted and sipped from it ever. It was so smelly I had to drink it like that, like that. Like that I drank it. ADELE: Moti, it's to the point ... how do you feel? How do you feel, Moti? MOTI: How do I feel? Wait until you feel it, holy shit. C-MOTI: I saw Adele sitting next to me, she was shaking with fear of death so Idan signalled to me, every time she was touched, he made a sign to me and I screamed as if in her name. That I would scream bloody murder just so she would panic. ADELE: Oh my god, only just what he does it already hurts me. TOM: My life, I swear to you that he only hurts you, it has nothing to do with it. TOM: Enough, enough, enough! TOM: Enough! Enough already, enough! I'm asking you, I'm asking you, stop. ADELE: It hurts, not so hard, please. Crazy. C-PUNDAK: I'm sure I'll enjoy watching it on TV. I'll sit down, I'll run this segment on and off. C-MOTI: On and off, no, trial, run on and off. ATTEMPT #2 Skip C-ANAELLE: Then the lovely Chinese started again and I said, there is no choice, like it’s a Roadblock, I must do it. TOM: Yes, yes. C-ADELE: She stabs you in the leg and makes you like that ... like they take your leg and do it to you like that with a screwdriver. There are just no such things, what pain. TOM: Cannon, the Hollywood, the between Hollywood and Miami, the number one here in this whole story. You are strong that there is no such thing. ADELE: Oh my god! TOM: Babe, I'm fulfilling a dream for you, I'll marry you after the show. I will marry her, I swear to you I will marry you. TOM: No, no, you exaggerated, my life, exaggerated, don’t bite me. TOM: Yes, you’re strong. TOM: You've ruined my ear already, but, my life, you're amazing. ADELE: Oh my god. TOM: That we will not know. ADELE: Crazy. TOM: That the Creator of the world, who will help the Creator of the world, that we will not know from impurity, that the girl will go through it in peace. MOTI: Listen, Tom, you're on fire. PUNDAK: Not knowing impurity. MOTI: Not knowing impurity. C-PUNDAK: Tom and Adele it's like, it's not like a couple on a show, it's like an imitation of a couple on a show. TOM: I can not with it anymore, I ask to move rooms. I can not. C-PUNDAK: The guy needs to do an ad for Pan, you know. With the earring here shimmering. C-MOTI: With the earring shimmering, yes. What a character he is. C-PUNDAK: Listen, he's a genius. C-MOTI: No, but you know what to do, with the face to do like that. C-PUNDAK: Yes, right! ADELE: What is this, I have a delicate leg, why is she doing this to me? C-PUNDAK: And Adele is just, no, indescribable, indescribable. C-MOTI: Did you notice she asks the same question twenty times? Wait, what are you saying? Wait, no? What, yes? C-PUNDAK: No, no, it's like that. C-MOTI: If not this. C-PUNDAK: Wait, what are you saying? Wait, what are you saying? Wait, wait, come explain to me, come explain to me. ADELE: Tomorrow I will still have this leg, yes? TOM: There is no such thing, you all do not understand it. Skip PUNDAK AND MOTI, CURRENTLY IN SECOND PLACE MOTI: You must reach the 798 area and discover there the song that is hidden from the songs you have heard. I think about it and then forget. Think of other things. PUNDAK: This is the most complicated song. C-PUNDAK: We did not know what was wanted of us, we were trying to listen to Ariel Zilber. And now the Chinese guy’s shouting at us... I told you to stop immediately. Stop the music now. Having a relationship with my wife. I’m telling you to stop the music. MOTI: You killed my soul, you killed me. Two Chinese with a contrabass ... sat by the road and chatted loudly ... ALON: You see? These sculptures. C-ALON: Travelling to Area 798, this is the gallery area of Beijing, all Westerners come to buy the contemporary art of China. A song that will appear in front of you on the street. We are supposed to find according to one of the three songs a sign in 798. Now understand what 798 is, it's Dizengoff Centre times four. C-ALON: This is not a street, this is not a street section, Frishman/Dizengoff. C-OREN: It's a huge compound. C-ALON: A huge complex of dozens of galleries and hangars. ALON: Have to jump on something right in front of our eyes, not upside down this time. ALON: Can't step on that foot. ALON: That stink. C-ALON: We walk around with the 40 kilos on our backs, looking for a sign but you do not know what you are looking for. OREN: What, we have mystics, mystic stalls here, and all sorts of things, let's take a moment, Alon. Skip C-ALON: She also broke my feet. MOTI: Look for maybe two Chinese. Billion Chinese it can not be. PUNDAK: Chinese mystics it also can not be, you understand? PUNDAK: Okay, let's start asking people. Skip MOTI: Sure? PUNDAK: Dude, they answered right, they know. Skip C-PUNDAK: We realised within two seconds that we were talking to people, that we should look for two Chinese with a contrabass. Skip MOTI: How, look at them, we missed them by a second. C-PUNDAK: We ran around like idiots with those stupid shoes. It was an uncreated nightmare. Skip C-MOTI: We chatted there for a long time, walked the street a few times. Every time we asked someone so he would say, there. C-PUNDAK: There, there, there. C-MOTI: Because it was actually, the hint was, a hint that moved from place to place. Because they moved, we never found them because we always went round and round and did not know what to do. Skip MOTI: She says they were here. PUNDAK: But how long ago, did you ask her? MOTI: She says 20 minutes ago. Will anyone find us? Never. OSNAT: Already crippled, also this, God save me. CARMIT: Come on, a few more minutes. A little more, Ossie, a little more. C-OSNAT: While I was eating the rice we went down to sixth place because everyone overtook us. Skip OSNAT AND CARMIT, CURRENTLY IN LAST PLACE OSNAT: Chinese Japanese. OSNAT: Come on! CARMIT: Look how they look at our shoes, like we've landed here from some star. CARMIT: Wait, we need to get our feet up.
