RON SHAHAR: Eleven pairs went out to the biggest TV game in the world, six remain. Tonight they will start the journey towards the final five of the race. TONIGHT ON HAMEROTZ LAMILLION: RON SHAHAR: The competition becomes tough and each of the pairs will need to give everything to reach the final five of the race. INTRO RON SHAHAR: After a 12-hour hiatus in Beijing, the crews will now jump in the order in which they reached the final end point. Akiva and Anaelle, who came in first place, set out first. ANAELLE AND AKIVA, DEPARTING IN FIRST PLACE ANAELLE: Route Info. You have to take a taxi to the Huanghuazhen Maze. RON SHAHAR: The couples must now reach the maze in Yuanmingyuan Park. Here they will have to find, from the myriad inventions of the human mind, what the Chinese signed. ANAELLE: Okay, come on. Shoshi, come, Shoshi, Shoshi. Come on. ANAELLE: It's about life and death here crossing the road. Lord have mercy, God save. Do not look right or left. Come, come. AKIVA: Shosha. ANAELLE: Here, they cross. AKIVA: Oh, they cross too. ANAELLE: Lord have mercy, mother. C-AKIVA: Day 2 in China begins with the realisation that we have already been through half the race. This is a stage that is starting to become critical. C-ANAELLE: It's scary, because you really know that if all those couples who have come so far have come, it's ... C-AKIVA: Dense. C-ANAELLE: It's scary. As if you ... C-AKIVA: It's very crowded, everyone is very good already. C-ANAELLE: You can fall tomorrow. Skip C?-AKIVA: Need to start rowing forward, get to a good place. ANAELLE: Oh, oh, he’s making a hell turn. Skip C-ANAELLE: The Chinese taxi driver can be the greatest blessing, he can also be the greatest curse, depending on what you fell for. ANAELLE: Fast. (Chinese) ALON AND OREN, DEPARTING IN SECOND PLACE ALON: Route Info. You have to take a taxi to the maze... Skip C-OREN: We start our second day in China once again with this stress of getting in a taxi in Beijing is like putting a bullet in a gun, in Russian roulette. You do not know, you can also reach the opposite side of town. Skip C-ALON: We have determined within ourselves not to go to a destination that we are sure the driver ... C-OREN: At least he understands. C-ALON: Within the limits of understanding knows where to go. Skip ALON: Perfect, let me show him. OREN: Show him. ALON: enter you as a fact. C-OREN: To achieve the hoped-for results of winning the race in general and winning any leg of the race, at least for me, it requires, nothing to be done, cooperation and understanding. Skip C-ALON: We work like a machine that makes, that learns from mistakes, that spends a lot of time on investigations and learning and learning lessons not for HaMerotz LaMillion 3, 4, but tomorrow morning, for the next task even. ANAELLE: Lord have mercy. AKIVA: What is this?! ANAELLE: God save. AKIVA: No law and no justice. ANAELLE: Ya Rabinan, God save. AKIVA: No law and no justice. ANAELLE: They do not know if there is a car accident, even so they do not know how many died, there are too many here. BAR AND INNA, DEPARTING IN THIRD PLACE TOM AND ADELE, DEPARTING IN FOURTH PLACE ADELE: Route Info. BAR: You have to take a taxi to the maze, ADELE: Huanghuazhen, found in...Yuanmingyuan. Oh my god. INNA: Bar, good morning. BAR: Good morning, mami. Let's look for someone who speaks English. Let's ask, let's go in, want to get in there? INNA: What a piece, here's a grocery store. OMG THEY ACTUALLY TOOK MARK AND MICHAEL’S SPEED BUMP STRAIGHT FROM TAR14 TO USE AS B-ROLL FOOTAGE YOU CAN SEE THE SPEED BUMP BOARD IN THE BACK Skip C-BAR: We found out we needed to stay in China, this was not good news. Skip BAR: No, who will speak English here? Skip C-BAR: It's not that we have anything against China, but there was no connection, period. There was not a level of even a drop of communication or an opportunity to speak. Skip INNA: She doesn’t understand you. Skip ADELE: Well, well, leave her, leave her, come, come, this obscure. C-ADELE: China is actually a country we did not like so much. Their language is a language that cannot be understood, such people who do not understand you, who are not sure, who do not accept you well. Skip ADELE: Well, where are you? How scary. God save. Oh thank you, come on, go. ADELE: But maybe he's not going to the right place, is he? Skip C-ADELE: There is no taxi that can speak English. They're so ugly, their faces are so ugly it's just not possible. In Israel, all taxi drivers are ... how do I put this? It's all cute, everyone, you can talk to them about life, you can start talking to them. Here... TOM: I think they're kind of geniuses, these Chinese. We think that even if I had been born here from the age of zero, I would not have been able to learn this language. ADELE: What do you think, Hebrew is easy for people to learn and understand? TOM: Probably. ADELE: It is the same thing. TOM: Dovani Roso from Croatia was with us, for two years, he has already started speaking Hebrew. What’s up with you? Hebrew is a flexible language. You say hello, you say hi, you got the point. INNA: Come, Bar. BAR: I need someone who's solid, who seems reasonable to ask him English. Wait. BAR: Yuanmingyuan. INNA: Yuanmingyuan... BAR: Ah, it’s a maze.... Skip BAR: Maz...wait, I’ll draw him a maze. Skip BAR: Is a taxi driver in China speaking English with us? It’s exciting. Skip ANAELLE: Thank you. (Chinese) ALON: Here, here, more, there there there, the flags. OREN: Okay. ANAELLE: The marked gate. Skip ANAELLE: Very beautiful, very pleased with the place. They finally have some trees and some vegetation. AKIVA: Right. ANAELLE: Otherwise we would feel like we were in Bnei Brak. ANAELLE AND AKIVA, CURRENTLY IN FIRST PLACE ALON AND OREN, CURRENTLY IN SECOND PLACE ALON: Route Info. ANAELLE: What is it? AKIVA: You must choose from ... ALON: The variety of inventions of the human mind on which the Chinese are signed. RON SHAHAR: China has provided the world with a number of inventions in which the Jewish mind also takes its hat off to them. The crews must now enter this ancient labyrinth in the centre of which awaits a Chinese sage, from among the multitude of inventions scattered within it they will have to choose only four that they think were invented in China. Bicycles, ice cream, pasta, pans and panda colours (oil pastels) are just some of the inventions that await them in the depths of the maze. A couple who make a mistake in choosing and bringing objects that are not a Chinese invention will have to do everything from scratch and of course find their way back through the maze. Only a couple who bring four correct inventions to the Chinese sage will get the next hint and also a new friend on the way, Mushi, the Beijing Panda. They didn’t really mention this, but there are five Chinese inventions total; teams only need to bring four of those five. OREN: Here, here, here, here, here. ALON: Panda colours. ALON: First you want to see everything and then decide? OREN: Yes. ALON: There’s Cornetto. C-ALON: Nine items were presented in the maze mission and you had to display from them the four items invented by the Chinese. C-OREN: Display to a monk. C-ALON: To the Chinese sage. OREN: Fans. ALON: Chinese fans. OREN: And wok. ALON: Wok,. OREN: Wait, there's something here too. Come on, let's try to get there. ALON: Not here, not here, come from there. OREN: Soap. ALON: Soap. C-OREN: Truth be told, I said, maybe they would give explosives, some things I knew really were invented by the Chinese. But what there was... there was a paddle, there were bicycles, things that are very difficult to link to any information that really says ... C-ALON: Fan, soup spoon. ALON: Who invented? OREN: It could also be Japanese. Miso soup is a Japanese soup, for example, that is eaten with such spoons. C-ALON: We went in all directions. OREN: Bring a wok, a fan. ALON: Is the fan not Japanese, Oren? ALON: Bicycle? Not the bicycle? C-ALON: It was not an easy task. ALON: Panda colours no. OREN: No. Skip ANAELLE: You do not connect to this pastel? AKIVA: No, no, I do not think they would paint with pastel. ANAELLE: Maybe they would draw with ink or something. ANAELLE: Shoshi, it looks Roman. AKIVA: Sweetie, it's not Romans, it's Chinese. ANAELLE: Yes, but it's Roman buildings. AKIVA: No, it's Chinese buildings. ANAELLE: Right. Does it look Chinese to you? AKIVA: The Romans never came here. ANAELLE: And before China there were no ... AKIVA: There were only Chinese here, always. ANAELLE: Before China and China was always Chinese? AKIVA: Yes. ANAELLE: Hello. (Chinese) He’s not smiling. Skip AKIVA: Pasta is Italian, theirs is noodles. Come. C-ANAELLE: At first we tried what seemed to us, like in the eyes- C-AKIVA: Chinese. C-ANAELLE: Chinese. We chose scissors because it would have made sense to us, scissors, Chinese, that. AKIVA: That makes sense to me, the wok. C-ANAELLE: The pan of Chinese stir-fry. Wok. AKIVA: I don’t think so. ANAELLE: Cornetto? No, thank you. ALON: What do you think, Oren? Well, are these Cornettos a Chinese invention? OREN: No, it could be that ... because they invented an explosive, they invented it. ALON: Missile? OREN: I know... ALON: What is the connection? (the words have the same initialism, til means missile and tilonim is Cornetto) C-ALON: Oren with his vast general knowledge is too sophisticated, second-rate. C-OREN: Backwards logic. C-ALON: Upside down on top of upside down. OREN: I know? Also scissors, listen, they, they could be ... they cut their hair insanely. C-OREN: I always look at this thing and I say like, what is it, did they not do some trick inside this thing? OREN: Not thinking sophisticated? ALON: No, really, no. OREN: So wok. ALON: Wok, one. I agree. C-OREN: I'm trying very hard to get rid of it now, and we've also set up some kind of technique. OREN: So what, shall we take this spoon? ALON: That's the answer. OREN: So okay, let's take the simplest answer. C-OREN: First of all, at first glance, without sophistication. C-ALON: That it hopefully contributes many times. C-OREN: Yes. ALON: Work neatly. Let's do, first of all elimination. Pasta, sure no? OREN: No no no, pasta yes actually. ALON: Yes, pasta? OREN: Marco Polo brought the pasta from China, the noodles, to Italy. ALON: Take it. ALON: Going smart? OREN: Yes. OREN: To me it's too trivial. ALON: What? OREN: The choices. C-ALON: When we met the monk we brought a Chinese spoon, a fan, pasta and a wok. ALON: Good? C-ALON: He does not tell you what is right or wrong. If everything is true except for one item, it will still be marked no. You do not know from the items what is correct. ALON: Countless options. It's inhuman. AKIVA: No, we are not going the right way.. Get out. ANAELLE: How do you get there? AKIVA: Out of here. C-ANAELLE: This maze, we really got lost there in every way. C-AKIVA: Trial and error. Skip PUNDAK AND MOTI, DEPARTING IN FIFTH PLACE PUNDAK: You have to take a taxi to the Huanghuazhen Maze found in Yuanmingyuan. Skip C-MOTI: First of all, good morning China.’ MOTI: Stop, stop, stop. C-MOTI: Our day begins, looking for a taxi, as usual, like every day in China. PUNDAK: Here, here, here. MOTI: Get in, just sit down. C-MOTI: We jump off fifth from the point we finished the day before. Skip C-PUNDAK: We had a day when nothing went our way, and then ... but we took it for granted, we said, tomorrow we are fighting and we came to fight. Skip C-MOTI: Except for one day, which was actually in the previous race segment, we are always either first or second, or first or second. Why? Because that's what we are, the best. We are a very strong couple in this race. MOTI: We will wake up, two slaps and set off. MOTI: It's all from above ... Idan, so don't cry tonight PUNDAK: Hope we don’t cry. OSNAT AND CARMIT, DEPARTING IN LAST PLACE Skip C-OSNAT: Yesterday at the end point we got to Ron Shahar. C-CARMIT: And he was cute. C-OSNAT: He's always cute, he's cute every time. C-CARMIT: He said he waited for us for four hours. All the time he is probably thinking, when will the Reds arrive? Skip C-CARMIT: Today we start last, but if we, we will really do well and we hurry, we can also get to fourth, third place. OSNAT: Tear up the road, baby. CARMIT: Yes, spread your wings. One day I will spread my wings .... one day you will see that I will not be afraid...one day I will spread my wings...and it would be so nice OSNAT: Here are Moti and Pundak. CARMIT: Where are they? OSNAT: Here, they’re in front of us. PUNDAK: Chances are they will go. I wish not because I'd die for them, but the odds are against them. MOTI: Not so sure they're going home. OSNAT: Go explain to him that he needs to get around them. Bypass them. Skip MOTI: You need to renew the turn. OSNAT: Where's your book sitting? For the first time in a while, zero clue. But probably banter. C-PUNDAK: They’re cannons, the Yemenites, cannons. Buena, you look at us at fifty, I know how old they are ... fifty, forty-five, fifty. C-MOTI: Fifty. Dude, each one weighs 80 kilos, which is a weight. C-PUNDAK: 80 kilos, from the periphery, you know, big. Skip OSNAT: Beautiful, beautiful, drive, drive, overtake them. MOTI: The Yemenis overtook us here, they have a robber driver. We have a nerdy driver. OSNAT: Smile ... yes, well, let's see the teeth a little. Smile, smile, that’s it. Skip C-BAR: The taxi driver stopped us, he claimed that this is the place and here we get off and this is the entrance. INNA: Be careful. ADELE: It's here, it's the place. TOM: How do you know? ADELE: He brought us. TOM: To the marked eastern gate. Skip INNA: Wait a minute, she shows us. BAR: No, wait. Skip C-BAR: It turned out that the place had something like four or five entrances. Skip BAR: Come on, it's ... they said it was there. TOM: Go, run, run, run, go run. C-BAR: We discovered to our surprise, that we had another pretty massive walk to get to the right gate. C-TOM: We realised it was a huge place, and all this on foot of horror and sweat. C-BAR: And walking was a waste of very precious time, in the end. BAR: Yoo, I can not believe this is the way to go. AD BREAK OREN: We have nothing to do, we should, in my opinion, find someone who speaks English and ask him, maybe he knows. ALON: Concentrate for a moment, on what do you want to run? You walk like some sleepwalker, look for a moment from above how to get out of here. Also try to learn the maze. OREN: Yes, I'm trying, I'm starting to learn it. Skip C-OREN: When you say a billion Chinese ... a billion Chinese have entered this maze while we are there, more or less. Skip Oh, you want me to ask them? C-OREN: We caught someone with a megaphone, who was reading to some group of some billion Chinese the list of items. C-ALON: What was invented by the Chinese. C-OREN: And we make a consultation. Ice cream? No. (repeated) ALON: But mark him only these, Oren. Only these. OREN: Shh... ...which of these were invented in China. ALON: The oar. These, oars, oars, were they invented in China? Skip ALON: Here, this yes. C-ALON; A paddle, like, was it invented by the Chinese? But there was a consensus there in all the Chinese, in the sages of China they said, paddle, yes yes yes. Skip ALON: What else needs to be taken? OREN: Wok. OREN: Wait, wait, wait, wait, take Cornetto. ALON: What Cornetto? OREN: Take Cornetto. ALON: We said no Cornetto. OREN: Take Cornetto. ALON: Why? OREN: I remember Marco Polo brought it. ALON: Once again Marco Polo. OREN: Yes. C-OREN: Marco Polo brought the ice cream to Europe and brought the pasta from the East to Europe. ALON: Come on. C-OREN: We approached the monk again. And this time we brought him pasta, ice cream, a wok and a paddle. Skip C-ALON: We ticked, we got out of there first. ALON AND OREN, CURRENTLY IN FIRST PLACE ALON: You must take a taxi to Mutianyu at the Great Wall of China, you must take your new friend with you. Note, on the way you have to go through the voting board. RON SHAHAR: The crews must now reach Mutianyu where the Great Wall of China is located. The Great Wall of China is the longest structure in the world built by man, 6,400 kilometres. In the first stage, the couple will ascend to the wall with a cable car, equipped with their panda. There will be a guard waiting for them who will give them a word search where hidden concepts related to China are hidden. In the second stage they will have to climb the stairs leading to the fifth tower. There they will be able to begin and finish the word search they received and then continue to climb up to another guard at the wall. Only a pair that finds ten concepts, will hand over the panda and the word search solution to the guard in the top tower will get the next hint. RON SHAHAR: On the way they will have to go through the voting board and decide which of the pairs they choose to delay using a U-Turn in this section of the race. ALON: U-Turn. We now, meanwhile, do not want to shake the system. We have no point in creating, no struggles with Moti, not with Akiva. So we decided to put on Tom and Adele, a continuation of a quiet strategy, for now. OREN: And they are also the strongest couple among the weak. TOM: Come, run, run, run, go run. How I'm sick for her when she's running alone, when she's determined. ALON: Come on, there's a billion Chinese behind you. Yoo, what a weight. C-ALON: From the maze we got a little panda doll. Forty degrees hot, fur. ALON: They have to solve the word search above the wall. OREN; Wait, a second. Skip ALON: What do you want to ask about? OREN: On the address. ALON: Oren, there is only one site here of the Great Wall of China. Address. C-ALON: So in addition to the heat, nerves and competition you carry here ... warmed me up, cooked my neck, the panda doll. Mumi, what’s her name? C-OREN: Mushi. C-ALON: Mushi. C-OREN: This panda doll is a symbol of the Beijing Olympics and was called Mushi, the figure itself. Skip ALON: No one speaks. C-ALON: And from there we set out on the next mission. Oren, me and Mushi. BAR: Inna, Adele, come. TOM: Come on, come on, here's the flag. Come on. MOTI: Here are Tom and Adele. TOM: Here’s the flag. Skip MOTI: And the girls. What a beautiful (gap) reduction. Fast, fast, fast. Skip C-MOTI: When we got to the maze we overtook both Tom and Adele and the blondes. MOTI: What happened, bananas? (a pun on girls? maybe) Skip C-PUNDAK: We went back to our natural place. C-MOTI: Exactly, a place we love, that we know so well, that we have been to many times during this whole race. PUNDAK AND MOTI, CURRENTLY IN THIRD PLACE TOM AND ADELE, CURRENTLY IN FOURTH PLACE C-ADELE: Tom and I, like two very very very, uh... I will not say that word, people, we went after Bar and Inna, we dragged after the two blondes, and meanwhile Moti and Pundak overtook us in the maze and entered the maze in front of us as well. BAR AND INNA, CURRENTLY IN FIFTH PLACE ANAELLE: Come on, well. AKIVA: I already know this maze by heart. C-AKIVA: It took us hours in the scorching sun. C-ANAELLE: When you walk it for ten minutes, a quarter of an hour, it's passable, even half an hour is healthy for the mind, but two hours, three, it's already been really hard for us. ANAELLE: That we’ll get... MOTI: What's the problem with waiting? You see the answers, so what's the problem? C-PUNDAK: Moti proved his scam skills he brought from home. He told me, be calm, C-MOTI: Do not go out. C-PUNDAK: We do not go out until we see someone with the right order and bring. So we walk, walk around, eat the Cornettos. C-MOTI: We're the only couple who ate Cornetto. There was a Cornetto, to know if it was invented ... and we tell him to give us two Cornettos but with cookies. C-PUNDAK: Ate Cornettos. PUNDAK: Great, great. Great! MOTI: Come for a moment. MOTI: They took both the pasta and Cornetto. Cornetto, pasta, okay, thanks. MOTI: Told him yes. Come, come. Paddle, pan, pasta, come, come. C-PUNDAK: We saw Akiva and Anaelle put things together, right as they entered. C-MOTI: We ran, we put things in order. C-PUNDAK: Like crazy we went after them. Skip C-MOTI: Thank you very much, guys, we finished the task. ANAELLE AND AKIVA, CURRENTLY IN SECOND PLACE AKIVA: You must take a taxi to Mutianyu at the Great Wall of China. PUNDAK AND MOTI, CURRENTLY IN THIRD PLACE MOTI: You need to take your new friend with you. ANAELLE: You must go through the voting board and choose the pair you want to delay. Come on. AKIVA: We put Alon and Oren. C-AKIVA: The brothers choose who they wanted to bring them closer to and who they wanted to help and promote, and everything else was created, a camp was created ... C-ANAELLE: Refugees, we are refugees. C-ANAELLE: And so, if there are sides, we will not put to our side, put to the other side, that's that. PUNDAK: Okay, U-Turn. Alon and Oren, this is the couple ... MOTI: Which at the moment is the strongest here. PUNDAK: The strongest in the game right now. PUNDAK: If they have a U-Turn, we can overtake them. ANAELLE: Need to carry the panda all the time. The panda is now our child. AKIVA: Okay. C-ANAELLE: I was very happy that we had someone else, that the family had expanded, it was very nice. AKIVA: Hold on. ANAELLE: We have Punchi, me and Akiva. C-PUNDAK: We carried our little bear. Wait a minute, well, I'm dragging this. C-MOTI: The bear really enjoyed it, really, we made him Abu-Yoyo. (the name of that carrying position) C-PUNDAK: Very enjoying, very much. Skip MOTI: This bear’s sister. Skip PUNDAK: But Mishi with a mi. MOTI: It’s not mi, it’s mu. C-MOTI: His name is in Israel. C-PUNDAK: Mushi. C-MOTI: We called him Mushi and stroked him. C-PUNDAK: Mushi bear. PUNDAK: Buena, Moti, he's looking at me. MOTI: Mushi. PUNDAK: But what is he eating? This is the question. MOTI: Mushi, what is he eating? Pitas straight from the oven. COMING UP NEXT... OSNAT: Ask. Skip OSNAT: So it’s not here. So it’s not here. So it’s not here, Carmit. CARMIT: It’s not here. OSNAT: It is not from this gate, from another gate. Can I help you with that? Skip
