Hoping to start anew, he pursues his ambitions to become a young entrepreneur by developing small businesses, purchasing real estate, and running an auto repair shop. Success seems to find him at every turn and after falling in love with the beautiful Aline (Delphine Chaneac), luck seems to be on his side.

Hey, Tommy would've popped

over anything last night.

You did the right thing.

Sometimes doing the right thing

lands you in a pile of trouble.

Sometimes you come

out smelling like a rose.

Doesn't matter.

What matters is doing what

you think is right.

I don't know.

You know, it's just weird...

'Cause I didn't think.

I just did.

Keep listening to your gut,

little bro.

It'll never lie to you.

Yoni!

No way.

My God, Yoni!

Little brother!

I missed you.

Look at you.

You're huge.

Nah.

Come on, sit down, join me.

Come on.

You want anything to eat,

anything to drink? Huh?

Nah, nah, I'm good.

Man, they got great Shwarma here.

No really, I'm good.

- So where you been?

Well, I've been busy, man.

I've been busy. Lots of opportunities.

That's good, that's good.

Hey, you got a light?

Hey, you're Levi Cohen, aren't you?

Do I know you?

No, but you will.

I'm Detective Martz.

Come on.

Let's go.

Come on.

Hey. Hey!

You're under arrest for the robbery

of the Commercial Bank of Tel Aviv.

What's going on?

- Don't worry about it.

I'll be out by tomorrow.

Take him.

Levi!

Yoni, go home.

Makes you wonder

what Levi was thinking

having lunch across the street

from the bank he'd robbed.

He'd have 10 long years

to think about that.

Yoni, on the other hand,

was a teenager.

And like all teenagers,

every day seemed

like an eternity.

So little by little,

we went back

to the way things were.

Those are the girls

from last week.

Oh, It is?

Let's go talk to 'em.

Okay. Um, give me a second.

I gotta take a piss. Be right back.

Hey, you better hurry up or,

uh, they'll both be mine, ahee.

You wish.

Hey, Ringo.

Hey.

Hi.

Nice to see you again.

How have you been?

Right back.

One minute.

That's a message from Tommy!

Izek.

Izek. Izek, you all right?

You all right?

What happened?

What happened?

Who were they?

The problems with Tommy spelled the

beginning of the end for my Monte Carlo.

Even with Tommy in jail,

we decided to close

the casino and sell the bar.

Mom would stay behind

to handle the sale,

but Jacob and Abe would go

to Los Angeles.

They wanted to plant

some roots,

then send for the rest of us...

Except for me.

After my run-in at the beach,

we decided I should head West

with my brothers,

to the land of opportunity.

#Steppenwolf'S

"Magic carpet ride"#

#I like to dream#

The city of angels

was everything I'd dreamt

it would be.

I just wished Yoni

was there to see it all.

The palm trees, the beautiful

people, the cool cars.

L.A. was home for the

big dreamers.

It was where I belonged.

I started Hollywood High

in the fall of 1973,

but it didn't take me long

to figure out
