I have very few certainties.

But there is something I'm sure about.

Neither the weather nor people can be trusted.

She our daughter was working in a call center and the company closed it down

Relocation they call it Now if your refrigerator breaks down

you have to call someone in Bangalore We came from Bangalore all those years

ago Her husband has been unemployed for two years and the three have moved in

with us the three

The two of them and their six-month-old baby.

If we are evicted, you will be leaving two families on the street, Mr. Riordan.

You don't know how sorry I am, Mr. Rishi Shah. We have been paying this mortgage

for the last 25 years.

25? And how often have I not paid an installment?

Not once. Not once.

We have gone without vacations. We have not squandered our money. We have not

lived beyond our possibilities.

Because paying a debt...

is sacred for me. And you, of all people, you know that.

You know that?

I do. Mr. and Mrs. Shah, I know that. I'm well aware of that.

And that is why we've been flexible, you see.

I mean, we understand a few mispayments in these times that we're living in, but

Mr. and Mrs. Shah, it's been six months.

Six months? Till which...

We have been living with 925 pounds. I understand that, Mr. Shah. I understand

that. But your contract clearly states... But there must be something.

There must be something that you can do, Mr. Riyadh. Whatever is necessary.

Please tell me. But we cannot go out on streets now. Please. I personally would

love to do some... If I have to touch your feet, I will do that. Mr. Shah.

Yes. No, no, please.

No. No, Mr. Shah. No, but don't have it. Please, don't do that. Think of the

baby.

A mortgage extension for the Indians. Beautiful.

They were on their knees.

Oh. And where is it written that getting on your knees grants you special client

privileges, Peter?

They were desperate.

Yeah? Who isn't?

What is the bank? A Good Samaritan's helpline now?

I'm sorry, but it was the only solution I could think of. The solution is

eviction. No, no, no.

Refinancing the Shah's debt means that they don't lose their home and we are

guaranteed another ten years' payment.

Payments that they'll never be able to make.

Good thinking there, Peter.

No, they're just going through a bad patch.

They'll come through it. The Shahs are decent.

conscientious people have been exemplary customers all the time I've been at this

brand. Yes, well, no one is exemplary forever. That is very obvious.

That'll be all, Peter.

Thank you.

Lucas isn't a bad sort.

He likes teaching lessons and overuses the word obvious.

I suppose he can't understand why unambitious people like me continue

working here, a most unsuitable place for us, or that we continue existing at

all.

No, he's not a bad sort.

But he did tell me one day...

that it's mathematically impossible that six million people died in the

Holocaust.

Mathematically impossible, said by a man who can't even add two simple figures

together without a calculator, it sounds really convincing.

I'm trying to be independent.

I started to get interested in the weather when I was very young.

I've no explanation.

My brother and I grew up in a home with parents who were too busy destroying

each other to pay attention to what we did in our free time.

I chose meteorological phenomena as a hobby.

My brother didn't really choose anything.

The sun, beating down on tropical waters, powers the weather systems of

the globe.

Moisture evaporates from the warming ocean... Here, talking about the weather

is a kind of code we've developed to help us overcome social inhibitions.

But for me, the weather is a way to feel that there's something happening.

And if there isn't, there's always a promise.

Good morning, Mr.

Larches. Will you get a moment? Will you please tell me what you want me to do

with the credit line?

Later, Peter, later. I'm busy.

One o'clock.

But without any prior warning, a letter firing me. No, we're not letting you go.

It's early retirement.

We?

Yes. We? I thought we were we.

What?

We, the company we, we want to reward you for your loyalty and good work.

Well, this isn't a reward.

How can you say that? I would love it. You'll be getting a most handsome

pension. But I can still work.

Who wants to work when you can do what you want?

What I want?

Of course.

Enjoy life, Peter.

That's what we all want.

What I want?

This.

All I want is this.

Yes?

No farewell party, please.

A party?

No one was thinking of holding one.

Today, someone younger will be sitting in my chair.

I'd like to have a quiet word in his ear and say, one day,

he might regret having devoted your life to offering money to people who don't

need it and refusing it to those who do.

I won't miss that.

It seems like I'm finally going to see you.

Yeah, I'm going to dig those Spanish course tapes that you gave me.

Dig them out? Yeah.

Actually, time has come, but I don't know where I'll put them, I don't think.

I should be able to find them.

Actually,

I'm a bit nervous.

It's been a long time since I travelled.

I don't know.

I don't know if I still know how to do it, you know, packing bags, suitcases,

all that sort of stuff.

It must be that difficult, though, eh?

I hear they've even got wheels on them nowadays.

All right, then. Well, look,

I'll let you know about flights and arrivals and all that

stuff.

I want to see your ugly face, brother.

I really do.

All right.

Shut up.

The water is very hot, please.

The water is very hot, please.

Hello, Daniel, it's me, it's Peter again. Look,

I've been waiting over an hour now.

Did you get the date wrong or something?

Look, I'll stick around for a bit longer, then I'll probably make my

way to your place, all right? Call me, obviously, anyway.

Get this, bye.

Hi, Daniel.

Hello, brother.

Well, yeah, just wondering if you've got held up or something.

Maybe you're out of range or your phone's not working or something.

I'm here. I'm waiting by a big sort of indoor garden type.

Give us a call or text me when you get this or something.

Let me know what you're doing.

Cheers, bro.

Christ! and this sound of the release of a pink glacier, I imagine that it is one

of the most characteristic sounds... Look, look there, look, look how

beautiful, there are the buildings, do you see them?

Buildings, do you see them?

Buildings, yes, buildings, behind the beach, there you are all, a lot of

Brexit, a lot of Brexit, yes, yes, yes, Europe, no, Benidorm, Benidorm,

everyone, to the beach, beer.

Todos. El sol, sí.

Mira, precioso.

Look. They're older for a bachelor party, right?

But it's better late than never.

You understand?

You don't understand a thing.

How much is that, please?

100. 100.

100, please.

100? Yeah.

Sir,

here you are.

Sorry? The ride from the airport has a set price.

The taxi driver shouldn't have charged you so much.

All right.

Thank you. That's very kind of you.

You're welcome.

Enjoy, Benidorm.

Gracias. ¿Te llevas a casa?

Who do you think you are?

Serpico?

Yes, sorry, I don't speak Spanish.

Can I help you?

Yeah, my brother has invited me.

His name is Daniel, Daniel Reardon.

Yeah, well, he knows I'm arriving today.

Well, he arranged to meet me at the airport, but he didn't show up.

Do you want to see some ID? I've got my passport here.

It's okay.

Give me a moment.

Let's see.

Hey.

Your brother has gone away, but he mentioned that you were coming.

Did he say when he'd be back?

Did he?

No one has seen him since Saturday, maybe.

But that's three days ago.

But Mr. Gordon comes and goes all the time.

I think he has business in Africa.

Since when?

Africa? It's what Lucy says. She cleans his apartment.

She knows him well.

He just said, you know, I don't... It's very strange, this. He definitely said

something to me.

Follow me. He just said something, though.

Follow me.

Yeah, sure.

Sir, this way. Yeah.

Do you want to stay for a long time?

A couple of weeks.

Okay.

Thank you.

Enjoy.

Do you mind if I smoke?

What?

No.

Daniel didn't like it.

By the way, you drool when you sleep. Has anyone ever told you?

What?

Do I?

Sorry,

how did you get in?

Where is Daniel?

I've no idea.

The doorman said that he had business in Africa.

Africa? Yeah. Really?

The whole continent?

Well, that's what he told me.

I'm sorry, who are you?

Alex. I'm Peter.

shoes daniel has one just like that oh yeah uh what our father

he he gave us one each just this before he died it was i knew his time would

come was he a watchmaker no it just wasn't very original

I work in your brother's club. I'm the manager.

What? And he hasn't been by in quite a few days.

And people haven't been paid.

So, I just came by to see if he's alright.

Daniel has a club?

Where the hell have you come from?

Ah.

Did he leave phone numbers, addresses?

Nothing. No.

Any kind of document?

Why would he leave any documents?

If you speak to your brother, you tell him people aren't angry.

Yeah, I understand.

Wait a minute.

What's the name of the club?

Benidorm. Club Benidorm. Your brother was just as original as your father.

What kind of man has a neon sign with his name on it?

Hey, do it now.

Sorry.

And his hunger burns.

So he starts to roam the streets at night and he learns how to steal and he

learns how to fight in the ghetto.

Then one night in desperation, the young man breaks away.

He buys a gun, he steals a car, tries to run, but he don't get far.

And his mama cries As the crowd gathers round An angry young

man face down on the street The gun in his hand in the ghetto

And as the young man dies

On a cold and gray Chicago morn Another

little baby child is born In the ghetto

Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen.

Is it true or not?

Yes!

I don't hear anything.

Yes!

And if you like Elvis, get ready for the star of the club.

A true mermaid from the mysterious waters of the Mediterranean.

Listen to her song.

With it, she will drag you...

to the darkest and most unfathomable depths.

A round of applause for the exquisite, the world-famous

E se domani io non potessi

rivedere te

mettiamo il

caso che ti sentissi stanco di

me

Tell a bird

Pardon me.

Excuse me.

Do you speak English? Yeah.

Is it possible to visit the artists?

Yeah, the dressing rooms are here.

Right, so it's allowed.

No problem.

Don't be annoyed.

Go,

don't be shy.

Carmen Snake!

Right, thanks.

Come in.

Hi, Peter.

Sorry.

Sorry. You have to do that now.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Lucy, is that right?

Yeah. Yeah. It isn't necessary to vacuum.

No English?

No English.

No.

I've got to...

It's like a hangover.

No,

not a hangover. No, it's a headache.

So if you have to clean, can you clean without... Tea.

Tea? Tea. Oh, a cup of tea. Yeah, oh, lovely.

Oh, thanks very much.

Tea.

Tea, yeah, thanks.

Thank you. Gracias.

It's interesting.

Yes, it is.

Yeah, you can go. You can go. Thank you.

Oh, it's you.

Hello. Hello.

Have a seat, please.

Thank you. All right.

I didn't know you were... So, what can I do for you?

Who told you that your brother had gone abroad?

Well, it was the doorman, a caretaker at his building.

But it's very odd, you see, that he didn't say anything or leave a message.

And the fact that we were meeting, you know, we hadn't seen each other for a

long time. Well, it was ages, in fact. You know, it was like a special event.

It's just not normal that he would disappear without saying anything.

I understand your concern, but that you found his phone under the bed isn't

sufficient indication that we're dealing with a disappearance.

Maybe we should wait a few more days before sounding the alarms.

Yeah, they say, don't they, that hundreds of people disappear every

year in Benidorm.

Well, you know, I saw that on a documentary on Channel 4 back home.

And do you believe everything you see on television?

No, no.

Let's see. You say that you and your brother haven't seen each other in a

long time.

I mean, you are not very close.

Isn't it possible that your brother changed his mind?

No. I don't see why. Look, we are close, but, you know, the

fact we haven't seen each other isn't anything to do with any, like, falling

out we've had or anything like that. No, it's just... Well, it's just life.

So many people are set up tight inside themselves like boxes that they could

open up.

unfolding quite wonderfully, if only you were interested in them.

Very nice, yeah.

Can we get back to my brother?

Oh, yes.

Let's get back to your brother.

When was the last time you saw him?

It was about ten.

Twelve years ago. Oh, people change.

I don't.

But maybe your brother does.

Officer, my brother would never stand me up.

If you don't expect anything from anybody, you'll never be disappointed.

That's what you say.

No, I don't say it. It's by Sylvia Plath.

Oh, all right. Well, look, we're not close in a conventional sense. Yeah,

yeah.

Mr...

Riordan. Riordan?

Riordan. Riordan.

Riordan, yeah.

Riordan? Yeah, that was it. Okay, Mr. Riordan.

Yeah, yeah.

I want to make you see that before you press on the worst, you should discount

what seems impossible.

Who the hell said that, then?

Was it Sherlock Holmes?

I've just said it.

Right now.

I would like to report the disappearance of my brother, please.

Very well.

Your brother's full name?

This will do you good.

Thank you.

Sal de frutas. Oh, we have fruit salt. Yeah, I know.

I've had this in England.

No, this is Spanish.

Sal de frutas de toda la vida.

Three times a day and you'll be fine. Okay.

I told you not to call me again.

Go fuck yourself, you son of a bitch.

Hello? Is this Daniel Reardon's brother?

Daniel? No.

No, this is his brother, Peter.

Oh, Daniel's disappeared.

Hello? You don't know anything about him, do you?

I'm sorry, but I haven't seen him in months. I was planning to see him like

Nunca.

Nunca? No, no, this is Peter, his brother.

Hello? Forgive me for what? What is that?

Never.

Hello? Nunca.

Hello?

Who is it? Oh, hi, hello.

This is Daniel Reardon's brother.

I'm looking for him.

Sorry, did you hear me? This is Daniel Reardon's brother. Daniel?

Alex? No, no, no, it's Peter.

Sorry for the shock. No, yeah, no, I found Daniel's phone.

It was under his bed, like, on buzzing, you know, and so I've just been going

through the numbers.

Sorry to keep you waiting. It's all right.

Just had a long day.

Why?

Are you hungry?

Well, yeah.

But my stomach's been playing up a bit to tell you.

That's because you don't know where to eat.

Can I have a smoke first?

Yeah.

Oh, no, no.

You're right.

Thanks.

What is this?

Black race.

Right. It's made with squid ink.

Oh.

It's all right.

This isn't the first time Daniel's disappeared.

But it's never been for this long.

Do you know if he's ever had any problems with the law?

He's never had any problems paying the club's debts.

I don't know about his other businesses.

But what?

What other businesses?

Daniel and I didn't talk much about anything.

Even though we were partners in the club.

Right, yeah.

Understand, yeah.

No.

I don't think you do.

Understand.

I think you worry too much.

And the day you least expect it, Daniels is going to walk through the door with a

suitcase full of souvenirs and a bottle of tequila under his arm.

Yeah, maybe.

Maybe.

Maybe so, yeah.

i uh i don't i don't think i told you did i but i'm

i'm really i really like your show

no you didn't tell me really yeah

yeah it's uh it's

really poetic

Thank you.

I just do it for fun, from time to time, when one of the girls is away or sick,

just to not get out of practice.

Right.

Why Pearl?

Yeah,

I know. I know.

Sorry.

No, but it's not only that.

i like white things where you live in the ideal place the only white thing in

la costa blanca is his name i mean the other things seem white they're not

like however pure they seem there's only something a little dirty in them

and that doesn't that doesn't happen with pearls pearls

are the whitest

Beautiful thing that exists.

Like snow.

Exactly.

But unfortunately, it doesn't snow in Benidorm.

But it's not impossible.

In suitable conditions, with a storm from the east and the emergence of cold

air, polar origin, for example.

solid participation and not being possible in more southerly latitudes

are you a scientist

yeah no

meteorology is like a hobby yeah

i think you're in urgent need of a new hobby

Yes, Daniel and I were really close as kids, you know.

Our parents, well, they drank a lot, you know.

Both of them, actually.

We always sort of protected each other.

There was only a year between us. We did everything together.

People used to ask us if we were twins.

You and Daniel, like... We don't talk about Daniel anymore. Right.

How about you, then? I mean, where are you from? I can't make your accent up.

How did you... I don't want to talk about my life here. It's boring enough

to live it. And people come here for so many reasons, and actually, they're all

pretty predictable.

Sure, it's fascinating.

Have you been thinking about me?

What were you thinking?

Maybe I should have left Manchester long before now.

Yes. Long before.

Here's something Daniel wasn't.

What's that?

Innocence.

Thanks. Thanks for bringing me back.

You're welcome.

Goodnight.

Yeah.

Do you want to come up?

No. That's alright. No.

Another night.

At times there are nights when I feel as if the world were ending.

And I just need to know I'm not the only survivor. That if I die, someone will be

there to close my eyes. Maybe one of those nights.

Thanks.

In the name of the Lord.

How many can say amen to God?

Amen. And a hallelujah?

Hallelujah. In the Lord is the solution for us.

Alex?

Are those boots comfortable to drive in?

No, of course not.

I think so.

What are we doing here?

This is Daniel's house.

This is dead.

i don't think it would be in this state there are a lot of abandoned sites

around here you know the crisis brexit the drought

laundered money end of the world

he

bought He built it.

Well, he didn't.

The company that he was a partner of or representative or whatever, they did.

They invested a lot of money in his promotion.

Well, they've lost it.

Yeah.

The company went bankrupt, couldn't pay back their loans.

And the banks didn't want to appropriate the real estate because the value had

dropped too much.

They don't like to show assets as losses on their balance sheets.

You really talk like a bank.

Do I?

Well, the bank decided to let them try and sell the houses through their own

estate agency.

Who's going to buy this?

Well, some of they did.

Some Russians, in fact.

There was a purchase agreement in the strongbox for one million euros.

Just one million euros?

Yeah. I don't think we'll settle the debts, but it'll certainly help.

In one of the clauses, Daniel earmarked this house for himself.

If you like abandoned places, I can show you one that's a lot more fun.

What do you say?

I've got nothing better to do.

It's funny, I was never that keen on funfairs when I was a kid.

Why, too much excitement?

Maybe.

You're actually gonna go in there then?

Why? You never do anything just because?

Never.

Some things are more beautiful when they're rusty.

Don't you think?

Why'd you bring me in here?

I wanted to be alone with you in a dark place.

At times the light in Benidorm, it doesn't let you see.

I see you.

You do?

What do you see?

The most beautiful woman I've ever seen.

Wow, Peter Gordon.

You've hidden talents.

I'm the loneliest.

Well, you certainly stopped to think about that.

That's my hidden talent.

All of us are alone.

Some people just hide it better than others.

Jesus.

Look I'm not walking down 42 fucking flights of stairs.

I'll see you later

You speak English?

Yes, Alino.

Oh, good. This is the right address.

Si. Ah, good.

Are you the owner of the butcher's?

Could I get in touch with him, please?

with Mr, no, sorry, Señor Esteban Campos?

No. Or Mr Daniel Riordan?

No, no, no idea.

I'm sorry.

Right. Are you going to buy anything?

We have lamb chops, especially de la casa.

No, I'm fine, thanks. Yeah.

Good morning.

Hey, Mr.

Esteban. Look, an Englishman just came asking about you

and Daniel.

I'd say he's his brother because he looks like a bastard.

No, no.

That's it.

Very good.

Very good, very good.

Don't worry.

See you later.

Say officer said you were here got these, okay

Daniel's files

Daniel

had real estate businesses.

I've been able to find any of his other partners apart from the butchers I'm

sure that won't be difficult for you though maybe Somebody there will know

his whereabouts.

I mean, it's all in here. Names, dresses, pictures, everything.

All right.

Thank you.

We'll see where this leads us.

And if you don't mind giving us your brother's phone.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

So...

starts supposing the worst now.

Well, look at the positive side.

Maybe your brother didn't stand you up after all.

You've got a very strange sense of humor, officer.

Yes, that's what my husband says.

According to him, reading a lot of poetry can be good.

Well, Sylvia Plath, she was the one that...

killed herself by putting her head in the gas of them, didn't she? Yeah.

Yeah, well, maybe your husband's got a point then.

You can't reduce an artist to the way in which they died.

In fact, when she was here in Benidorm, that's when she was happiest.

Oh, Sylvia Plath was here?

Yes, in 1956.

She rented a little fisherman's house next to the sea.

when there wasn't a single skyscraper in the city.

This is exactly the view she had every morning.

Her house was here.

And guess where I live now?

Every morning I see the same things she must have seen.

The fact is, Sylvia caused a bit of a commotion in the city because she wore a

bikini.

something that had never been seen here before.

My father was playing ball on the beach.

He kicked it, and the ball landed just where she was lying.

My father went over to pick it up.

Silvia sat up, got the ball, and handed it to him.

He stood looking at her, hypnotized.

She smiled and said to him,

He says he had never seen anything like it.

Hello. Hello.

She happens to have the bell gel by Sylvia Plath. Oh, we had Ariel for

sure, but let me check.

Thank you.

Here you go.

All right, thanks.

Thank you.

Welcome.

Do you know she lived here, don't you?

So-and-so, yeah.

Thanks.

Thank you.

She makes me wonder If you know what you're looking for

Baby I wanna keep my

reputation I'm a sensation You

For you. Club Africa. Club Africa, yeah, go in.

Yes, sir.

Excuse me.

Hola.

I wonder if you can help me.

I'm looking for your brother.

I've risen to think that he came here regularly.

I can help you.

Do you want to drink something?

Well, yeah, but I haven't even told you what he looks like yet.

Everybody looks the same here.

Yeah, but maybe if you...

Doesn't matter how unfamiliar you think he is. I'll find him.

There he is. His name is Daniel.

Daniel Riordan.

I'm sorry.

Maybe if you can show the photo to some of your companions.

Do you want to drink something or not?

Yeah, sure.

Agua con gas.

Hello?

Anchovies so

I've

heard of this Esteban Campos.

I didn't know that he and Daniel were working together No, well, they didn't

know anything about him at Club Africa or the butchers What?

How much did you offer them?

What do you mean? A lot of money.

Why?

A banker who doesn't know that everything has a price?

You really are a weirdo.

Right.

Oh.

Polpo.

It's alive. It's good.

It's alive?

No, I hope not.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Prone.

The head is the best part.

Try.

Okay. Don't know whether I'll... I'll go for the headline.

A few years ago...

banks are just giving out loans like him for buying land houses people had no

idea about investments the only thing they knew was that if you weren't doing

it you were stupid well you didn't do it then too much money too many

problems well that's not stupid at all to be honest are you flattering me

well i don't know

Hey, alright mate, alright, alright, alright, okay, look, look, here, here.

That's it. Just don't allow it, it's alright. Okay. Go on, go, go, go.

Lucy.

Lucy.

Is it done?

Okay. I'll get you some ice.

All right.

Lucy, you can leave whenever you want. Are you sure she doesn't want me to

stay? Does she trust that man?

Yes. She has nothing to do with your brother.

Don't worry.

She makes me a bit nervous.

She makes these figures out of towels and leaves

them on my bed.

She's a sweetheart.

She's had a really hard life.

Really hard.

Right.

She learned in jail to make the figures with the towels.

You Brits don't trust anyone who doesn't speak English.

That's not true.

That's not true.

Do you want to sleep over?

Yes.

I mean, just to sleep.

Yeah. I mean, just stay until I...

Fall asleep.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Tonight's... Is it... one of those nights when you need to know that

there's... there's a nuclear catastrophe, that there's someone here

to... to close your eyes?

Yo te diré

porque mi

canción te llama

sin cesar.

Me falta tu risa.

Me falta tu despertar

Mi sangre latiendo, mi vida pidiendo que tú no te alejes

más.

Me falta tu risa, me faltan tus besos, me falta

tu despertar.

Me falta tu risa, me faltan tus besos, me falta

tu despertar.

Hey, my friend. My friend. Yeah? What? What? Hey.

Yeah? What is it? I think it's very difficult with us, huh? I don't know.

What? What? What? Shh. Shh. Thanks, man.

I'm okay.

Help!

Help!

You, don't say it.

Sit. All right. All right.

Sit. All right.

Nice to meet you, Mr.

Jordan.

How do you do?

My name is Esteban Campos.

My grandfather opened these butchers.

He was from Almeria.

But in the early years of tourism, he left his hometown, his family.

And the ship they had reared for generations came to Benidorm.

It's a modest business, but he was very proud of it.

And my father after him.

You know, I was just eight when I cut out my first lamp.

My father congratulated me and bought me an ice cream.

I remember that while I ate it,

My hands were still smelling of blood.

I'm sorry.

Why are you telling me this?

The day I met your brother, I told him the same story.

I wanted him to know I'm not a businessman.

I'm just a simple town butcher.

Everything I've built, I've done it with effort.

No one has given me anything.

And that's why I won't let anyone take it from me.

I don't understand. What do you know about Daniel?

What do I know?

Nothing. You've been going around asking about him for days.

You turned up here and you went to my club.

Oh yeah, but that's because I'm looking for him.

He's disappeared without a trace, for God's sake.

But do you know what's happened to him?

Your brother and I are partners.

We had a real estate project along with my brother-in-law. Yeah, well, that's

Los Lirios.

The business didn't take off, but we were lucky enough to find a buyer.

At first, Daniel wasn't willing to sell. He said the price was too low, but...

it was the only way to settle the debts and some guys from moscow

what came to mind well i saw the contract

what

contracts they were in a like strong box in his apartment

do you have them I gave him to the police.

What you certainly don't know is that once the sale went through, your brother

Daniel transferred all the money to an account overseas and disappeared.

No, no, no, that's... That's impossible, no, he...

Danny would never do a thing like that. He just... And yet he did it.

I've tried a thousand ways to find him.

And when I learned that you were asking for him... I'm sorry if my methods

were too expeditious, but we are very angry.

Well, have you reported him?

Boys aren't going to do anything.

Daniel is just another evader, one of so many in this country.

But who knows?

Nothing is impossible in Benidorm.

My father saw that Sylvia Plath in a bikini.

Did everybody here see Sylvia Plath in a bikini?

No, not everyone.

Just the father of the policewoman you talked to.

He's my father, too.

We're brother and sister.

As different as Daniel and you, I guess.

Well, anyway, your brother will contact you sooner or later.

And if he doesn't?

Maybe not today or tomorrow, but one day you will get a message from him.

At Christmas, on your birthday.

And I'm convinced that then you will choose to do the right thing.

Have patience.

It's one of my main virtues.

Of course, yeah.

Great.

De puta madre.

I'm sorry about the kidnapping. It isn't my style.

And you needn't tell my sister about it. I'm sure she knows already.

Do you like lamb?

Baby lamb chops.

Yeah, delicious.

Grilled, wealthy, wealthy.

Walter, we'll prepare some for you. It's on the house, of course.

Ah, excuse me.

Can I go now?

Yeah, of course.

Bye.

Alex, hi, it's Peter.

When you get this message, can you call me straight away, please? It's urgent,

very urgent.

He voted to leave Brexit.

I didn't understand that because he said he wanted all the Muslims to leave.

He obviously didn't realise that Muslims don't come from Luxembourg.

Without calling.

What a habit.

Look. But in my opinion, it would be better off doing a survey of

bellybuttons. Yes, I know.

Your little friend's brother went to Dambia. After all, innies or outies, we

are a nation in my opinion of outies. And on that note, I'm going.

Benidorm is kinda cool that way, right?

Yeah, but you don't seem very worried. No, they sent you back in one piece.

Yeah, but he kidnapped me.

Wait a minute, you never thought you'd utter those words, did you?

No.

Who's that?

Oh, hang on, it's the police.

Excuse me a minute.

Hello? Hola?

Buenos dias.

Yes, this is... Yeah, this is Pete, Daniel Radon's brother, yeah.

It was Marta, the Sylvia Plath police, wasn't

it? Sure.

Well, it appears that the police have found Daniel's name on a passenger list

for a flight to Banjo.

In the Gambia.

Banjul?

Banjul's hotter than Benidorm.

Yeah, but... I mean, that's that. He's... You know, he's done a runner,

hasn't he?

Sweetie.

See, he doesn't deserve you worrying about him so much.

Yeah, but he's... He's my brother. You and Daniel share a surname and two

watches.

You really didn't knock him at all, did you? Well, I... No.

No. We work together, and we have fun sometimes, but Daniel didn't even

respect the people he worked with, and he treated the girls in his club like

shit. The waiters, Lucy.

If you don't respect those who clean your bathroom and make your bed, you're

finished. For me.

I'm just so disappointed, you know?

Do you want a tequila?

To Banjul?

The first time I came here, I didn't even think I'd last a week.

I literally spent the whole time trying to figure out how to get out of here.

And then one morning, I listened to them, and I understood something.

I just understood that while you still want to sing, or be silly, or get lost,

or make mistakes, fall in love, make mistakes and fall in love,

you're not finished.

Do you think it's too late to take up singing lessons?

You are always there.

Tremorous breath at the end of my line.

Corp of water uplifting to my water road.

Dazzling and grateful.

Touching and sucking.

Thank you very much.

Very kind.

After she'd had electric shock therapy, she felt like she'd been let

out of a bell jar.

There's nothing I can relate to that.

It's very funny you talking about Sylvia Plath with chocolate ice cream on her

face.

I'm leaving tomorrow.

I know.

I got a present for you.

Thank you.

It's really nice.

Come with me.

What? Where?

Manchester?

Yeah, there's still no word from Daniel, is there? I mean, God knows when he's

going to call.

I mean, if you don't find another partner, you... I'll get by.

I always have. I'll take care of you, Alex.

The last thing in the world I want is someone to take care of me.

So you intend to spend the rest of your life in nightclubs?

Pulling pearls out of my cunt. Say it.

I'm good at numbers.

I'm a cool manager.

I know how to deal with people. And I'm going to say what I say to all the men

and women who ask me that, including your brother. I could have had another

life. I had it, and I didn't like it.

And maybe one day I'll leave.

I'll cook.

I'll read. I'll go for walks on the beach. I'll get fat.

That'll be enough for you?

Yes.

I'll pick you up at nine.

Ah.

Okay, good night.

Ugh.

It looks like I'll never get rid of you.

You fainted, they brought you to a hospital, and they called me.

They call you?

I don't want to be here. Don't move.

No, I got to the beach.

You don't know what you're saying. Just, can you lie down? No,

no, it's just a stomach ache. No one faints because of that.

Pretty freezing in here. Give me this.

I want to feel the sun touching me.

Someday, we'll have me walk with you.

If you don't mind being seen with a woman with white hair and a lot of extra

pounds.

The weather is a way to feel there's always something happening.

And if there isn't, there's always a promise.
