(chimes tinkle)

- How long have we been working in this community,

and what have we got to show?

Nothing.

- That's a bit harsh, we do have something.

But it isn't working.

- Then what we've got is nothing.

- Now it works, let's not beat ourselves up too much.

It works, it just needs improvement.

- I'm glad you think it's working,

'cause I certainly don't.

And when I say I, I'm talking about my whole congregation.

Upwards of 400 people.

It's not working for them.

- And what are they doing about it?

- Preaching to themselves?

- So Meyers, what's the solution?

- I don't know.

The people out there aren't buying what we're selling.

And we know our product is good.

We're good salesmen, but they aren't buying.

- Well, you could lead a horse to water,

but you can't make it drink.

- So our job is just to lead?

- No, our job is to make them know they're thirsty.

And if they don't drink up soon, they'll die of thirst.

- I was asked to meet a lady today.

She's suffering, she's thirsting.

But she doesn't want to talk to me.

I mean, how do I make her drink?

- You can't make her drink.

You have to just show her the water.

- You can make her drink.

You just have to convince her she's thirsty.

- [Johnson] We obviously belong to different churches.

- Same church, different planet.

- That kind of talk's gonna get us nowhere.

- No change there, then.

- Are you after me?

- You Porter?

- Precious?

- Pre.

- Oh, I thought your name was Precious.

- It is, I just never use it.

- Oh of course, of course.

Wow, I thought you'd be younger.

- I thought you'd be older.

- [Porter] Touche.

- You've not done this before, have you?

- No, but I graduated last month.

You know, I came first in my class, so.

- I shouldn't be here.

- No, you should, I'm glad you came.

(sighs) I overstepped my mark.

Bad start.

Anthea told me--

- You are killing your father.

Show some respect, if not for your family,

then for yourself.

Oh, sorry, brothers, eh? (laughs)

Um, I can thump him in the corridor.

Akim, why?

Dad has given up so much so we can have a better life.

And you are gonna send him to an early grave.

- This has nothing, nothing to do with me.

- (laughs) Nothing to do with you,

of course it's nothing to do with you.

Nothing is ever anything to do with you.

That's the problem!

And we always have to clean up your mess.

- My family's weak and will not defend themselves.

How can I respect that?

- I need to get back to work.

- He's dying.

- He has a broken heart.

- Akim is so selfish, you know, I've tried--

- It's you.

- Me?

He's been laying in that bed for three months now.

He's no use to anyone.

And his wife, sitting next to his side,

and she can't even speak a word of English.

And his neanderthal son, prowling the streets at night

trying to defend a postcode.

We can't even sleep safely in our beds,

and you're telling me that Dad's worried about me?

- Call me later.

- Trust me, I'm fine.

- Call me later anyway.

- Ugh.

(car screeches)

(Nicola speaking in foreign language)

- [Marcia] Money box.

- [Nicola] What, I didn't swear.

- Jesus loves you.

- [Nicola] Yeah, yeah, I love him too.

(car screeches)

(speaks in foreign language)

- There you go again, you owe at least five pounds.

- Okay, I'm not swearing, I'm praying.

- You'll be fine.

- Jackson, I don't need a chaperon.

So if you're not gonna help me

put away the shopping, go tidy your room.

- I am helping.

Besides, my room's already tidy.

Well, Andre's tidying it.

- Go upstairs and help him.

- Mummy!

Mummy, mummy, there's a man coming down the path,

and it's not Daddy.

- It's probably just the postman, dunce head.

- Postmen wear red, moron.

- (groans) What have I told you both

about calling each other names?

Now stop it.

No one's knocked at our door,

so it's probably not our house he's looking for.

(doorbell rings)

- Told you.

- Jackson, finish putting away the shopping.

(suspenseful music)

(door creaks)

You followed me!

- There was something I forgot to mention.

- [Pre] But you shouldn't be here, you can't be here.

- This won't take long. - No, go away!

- Okay, I'm going.

But you need to know you have nothing to fear.

God will get you through this.

Come and talk to us.

We have resources, we can help.

- The church? - Yeah.

- What was I thinking?

I tried talking to your church, and I waited 13 years,

eight months, five weeks, and three days to be heard.

No one was listening.

No one cared or could be bothered

to listen to the pleas and sobs of a pubescent little girl.

- [Duke] Hello, Precious.

- Hey, Daddy.

(suspenseful music)

- [Pre] Heart pounding with fear,

body screaming "Protect me," mind pleading, "Look after me."

I wanted to talk, but no one was listening.

- Frank?

- [Pre] Okay, you're a salesman.

Pretend to be selling me something.

- What?

- [Pre] Sell me something.

- We don't buy from door salesman.

- Your wife was just telling me.

But I mean, I'd love to--

- We don't buy from door salesmen.

Come on, inside.

- The plan estimates that RPI over the five years

of development and construction

will continue with the 3.4%.

Our commitment of $2 million each year

will deliver a turnover of $3.5 million per year

and a yield of 7.3%.

Now, we know that--

- Hold on there, Miss Sabbatini.

Your numbers can't be substantiated.

You're assuming inflation will remain

at 3.4% over a five-year period.

In a third-world economy, based on what?

Those people will start a civil war

over access to drinking water. (laughs)

- The 3.4% is based on their own government figures.

(board members laugh)

- Does anyone in their government

even have an A-level in economics?

(board members laugh)

- I foolishly assumed that you would have read

the proposal prior to the presentation.

- You're asking Febru to spend a lot of money.

We're asking that it is secure.

- (sighs) The plan tells you it is secure.

The figures shows you it is secure.

It's underwritten by the indigenous government.

You can't get more secure.

Unless, of course, it was a man leading the project.

O'Sullivan failed in DRC, he failed in Nigeria.

What about Mellor?

(scoffs) He nearly buried us in Miami.

And where is he right now?

Sitting right across from me in the board room,

judging me on things that he knows nothing about.

You know what, I'm done.

- Nicola! - Stay away from me, Marcia.

Every word I said in there is true.

You know it, and they know it.

(Marcia groans)

- What's wrong with her?

- She's a loose cannon.

I can't work with her.

- She's got to go.

- That went well.

I thought you could use a drink,

but I see you've already had one, or three.

- Don't lecture me, Marcia, I'm not in the mood.

- You're gonna have to apologize.

- That's not gonna happen.

You know I'm right.

No one, no one, Marcia, not O'Sullivan, not Mellor,

no one can do what I do.

- Being right isn't the most important thing.

You taught me that.

The most important thing is getting the job done,

whatever it takes.

- What are they doing?

This is too much.

- When you woke up this morning,

this wasn't the way you saw the day panning out, I'm sure.

- How can you do it, Gloria?

I had enough.

- So you're just gonna walk out?

- Well, you came down here to fire me, don't you?

- Evans came down here to fire you.

Evans isn't here.

You've got a choice.

You can either walk out the door with nothing but your ego,

or you can go back in there and try

to salvage what's left of your career.

- But Gloria, it's--

- I don't want to hear it.

- I'm done.

There's plenty of companies out there

that would kill to have me onboard.

- Gloria threw you a lifeline.

- You think I should go back in there?

- I think you should get the job done.

(pensive music)

(door thuds)

- How long have we been working in this community,

and what do we have to show?

Nothing.

We can put on all the concerts and programs we like.

We have no impact on the people out there.

- It works, you know, what we have, it works.

Let's not beat ourselves up about it.

You know, it just needs improvement.

- I'm glad you think it's working.

Because I certainly don't.

And when I say "I," I'm talking about my whole congregation.

Upwards of 400 people.

It's not working for them.

- [Johnson] And what are they doing about it?

- Preaching to themselves.

- So Myers, what's the solution?

- I don't know.

The people out there aren't buying what we're selling.

And our product is good.

And we're good preachers.

But they aren't buying.

- You can lead a horse to water,

but you can't make it drink.

- [John] So we're supposed to lead?

- No, our job is to make them know they're thirsty.

And if they don't drink up, gonna make them die of thirst.

- Good point, I mean I was asked to talk to a lady today

who is suffering, she's thirsty,

but she doesn't want to talk to me.

I mean, how do I make her drink?

- You can't make her drink, you have to show her the water.

- Of course you can make her drink.

You've just got to convince her she's thirsty.

- We obviously belong to different churches.

- Same church, different planet.

- [Porter] Yeah, that kind of talk is gonna get us nowhere.

- No change there, then.

(suspenseful music)

(cars whooshing)

(intense music)

- Am I supposed to be afraid of you?

- What was that all about?

Excuse me, miss, how-- - Not now.

(intense music)

- Jackson, Andre, come on.

Upstairs.

- Look, I know you never asked,

but I think you're looking for the wrong woman.

- You're right, I never asked.

- How was it with the Reverend today?

- What Reverend?

I thought you'd send me a priest,

or a man of stature.

- A man of stature's not what you need.

What you need is a man of God.

- Yeah. (laughs)

He came to my house.

- Didn't I tell you to meet him at the hospital?

- I did, we spoke there, then he followed me here.

And we got on fine.

But how naive can he be?

I'm not doing that again.

He could have got me killed.

- There's people out there that need you.

There's people out there that love you, Pre.

That moron don't love you.

He doesn't need you.

He's just out to destroy you.

- No one's gonna destroy me.

Look at my boys, I'm here for them.

- You think they're stupid?

They're just gonna think this is all normal.

- So what are you saying, that I should leave him?

And what's that teaching my sons,

that they must run away at the first sign of trouble?

I know you care, Anthea, but you haven't got a husband.

So you have no idea what the stakes are.

(suspenseful music)

- [Akim] (speaks in foreign language) Sister.

- [Najim] (speaks in foreign language)

- Peace, how can you two greet me with peace?

- [Akim] Sajmal.

- This is our community.

This is where we live, this is our home.

- [Akim] Sajmal.

- No, I am done talking to you.

I've tried talking to you.

So now I'm talking to them.

- You don't talk to them.

I talk to them.

They don't respect you.

Not until you're prepared to fight for it.

- And what is respect, Akim?

Is it your community and your peers

all looking at you like you're something to aspire to,

old-aged pensioners cowering with fear

'cause you lot are throwing bricks

at their door every night?

That ain't how you get respect.

- So how many of those have you had?

- This is only my third.

- Yeah, and the rest.

- Well I've got to keep my strength up.

I've got a big night planned.

You think you're the only Adonis south of the river?

I'm the hottest thing in Catford, me.

- Yeah, right, but that's after the vindaloo.

- Oh, very hurtful, Officer Simon.

Still, I shall not be deterred.

I shall keep my mind focused on the game ahead.

- I thought you said Barbara wasn't letting you

anywhere near her at the moment.

- No, this isn't Barbara.

She's away with her sister for a couple of days.

No, this is Jacintha.

We used to go at primary school together.

We hooked up on Facebook last week.

- What, and you think--

- It's a dead cert, mate.

So no arrests tonight, please.

I ain't got time for no paperwork.

(suspenseful music)

- You boys are a long way from home.

- That's funny, coming from a bunch of Pakis.

- What do you want?

- We told him we don't want him

'round our end selling this junk.

And we want our money back too, son.

- Yeah, what do you think this is, Marks and Spencers?

No refund, boys, you know that.

- There's no reasoning with these people, Ed.

- Look here, my man didn't mean you no disrespect

or nothing, we were just chilling.

He's been on the brew, so.

- Hey, that's Budgie's girl. (laughs)

When he finds out you've been hanging round

with these people now-- - These people?

- Let's do it.

- You know what, he just wants to do this, boys, if--

- Look, we don't want no trouble, all right?

And I'm not Budgie's girl anymore.

You can tell your Don that me and his sister

will get your money, all right,

and we'll be out of your space.

- [Akim] How'd you disrespect me like that, eh?

- [Ed] Hey, hey!

(gang members scuffling)

- What is it with you people?

Everywhere you turn up, there's trouble.

Well?

Can we sort this out here?

Or do I have to call the meat wagon?

Why can't we all just get on?

Let's roll the clock back a couple of hours, shall we?

You're all sat back at home, round your dining room table.

My advice to you is to stay there,

because if I see any of you lot out tonight,

you're all sleeping down at the station.

(intense music)

(pebbles clatter)

(pebbles clatter)

(suspenseful music)

- We're taking you home.

- Right, where to, Batman?

- Croydon.

- Croydon?

- Don't worry, we'll be quick.

- You have a nerve, Frank Simon.

I haven't heard from you from over six months.

No phone calls, no texts, no email, nothing.

And you think it's okay to come up here

in the middle of the night, asking for favors?

- She's your sister.

- I haven't seen her for five years.

And how you knew where to find her

is a whole separate question.

Oh my god, Frank, you've been seeing Toni?

- [Frank] No.

- Then what?

- She practically lives on the streets.

I work the streets.

I see her.

- And it never occurred to you to mention that to me?

Not once?

You're disgusting.

Where is she now?

- She's in the car.

- She's not my responsibility.

- She's going down the drain.

- Her fault, not mine.

- No!

- When we get everything that we want,

sometimes we find that it's not what we wanted.

- She's out there alone.

The streets will kill her.

(intense music)

- She's not alone, Frank.

You would protect her.

Who will protect me?

- Is there no good in you?

- I was good once, Frank.

Then I met you.

- What have I done?

Nicola, I am so sorry.

I'm gonna change.

Not for you, not for my wife, not for Toni,

but because it's the right thing to do.

(Frank sighs)

(car door slams)

Sorry, mate, sorry, mate.

It's all sorted, though, we're going in.

- It's not gonna work.

- It's gonna work. - Nah.

- Don't mess this up, okay?

- It's not gonna work, but--

- I'll come and see you soon.

- All right, whatever, whatever.

- Okay, let's go.

We're going now. - Whatever.

- Two secs, yeah?

(car doors slam)

- What does the spilling of blood ever change?

War doesn't bring peace.

It just brings suppression, oppression,

and most of all, more war.

It's true in the East and true in the West.

And we're still fighting.

We're nothing more but rats on a treadmill.

(sighs) What is it that drives us to kill each other?

What is it that I need, what is it that you need,

what is it that we all need that is so important

that we are willing to kill and to be killed for it?

It isn't security, it isn't money.

It's respect.

My father lies dying, simply because

he can't get the respect of his peers.

(sighs) Akim is a tortured soul.

You know he only has a white girlfriend

because he knows that white gangs will hate it.

- You talk about everyone else, Sajim.

What about you?

Do you want respect?

You have to earn it.

- I took it from the streets.

You didn't know me then.

I hated everyone and everything.

I even hated myself.

Isn't that crazy?

I would disrespect myself to earn respect from other people.

(sighs) It was a hard lesson to learn,

and I still have scars.

But I have a brain, and I'm educated,

and I have this job and I'm saving people's lives.

And do you think they respect me?

(laughs) They don't even notice me.

- God notices you.

- God, (laughs), God, your Christian God?

Your God that condones the killing

of innocent children and women in the East

but condemns the same killing in the West?

- God does not condone the killing

of innocent women and children.

He does not condone the killing of anyone.

- That is not true.

You can't lie to me, Steve.

You can't lie to me and then expect me to respect you.

You know, tonight I came here for the truth.

And you can't even give me that. (scoffs)

You know, it's all lies.

All your Christian propaganda.

Politicians are full of it, preachers are full of it.

(scoffs) At least in the streets I know where I stand.

- See now, you've got it all wrong.

Saj, if you want to hear the truth, you must listen.

I didn't say anything about preachers or politicians.

I said God.

If I was head of state, and of parliament,

and of the church, whoever I am,

if you want to hear about God, go to God.

And this is where you'll find him.

- There is only one God, and that is Allah.

And I will not find him in your bible.

- Unfortunately, it is not only

politician and preachers that lie.

Other people lie, too.

But I tell you one thing.

The God of my bible, the God of Abraham,

the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob,

is the same father of Abraham you call Allah.

Branding, that's all it is.

We kill and hate each other for a brand.

But the bigger liars are the one who want

to own the brand for themselves.

Take my God, God of heaven,

or whatever you want to call him.

I'll guarantee you, there'll be no wars,

and we'll all come to find the respect

and the significance we seek.

- Got a minute?

Just wondered if we were ready to meet with the Tanzanians,

or if there's anything I can do.

- Tell Evans to see if O'Sullivan and Mellor are ready.

- We spoke on this yesterday.

We will speak on this today.

We will not speak on this tomorrow.

Do you understand?

It's not important if you look at me

as a token woman, a doormat, or a brown-nose.

What is important is that I am on the board.

I sit in a chair that one day you will want to sit in.

(intense music)

First thing you need to learn

is that you can't fight every battle.

Pick the ones you have a chance of winning.

I'm a woman in a man's company and in a man's world.

- So we capitulate?

- I didn't say those words.

- It's time for them to show me some respect.

- My door is always open, and you have my number.

(door slams)

(cars whoosh)

- Where you been, man?

- I'm dead.

- (laughs) It's Toni.

- Where?

- Didn't see her, just saying it's her why you're dying.

- It's clearly obvious.

So what did you do?

- All right, it's not what you think.

Okay, it's what you think,

but it's not the way you're thinking.

- (laughs) That makes perfect sense.

I know exactly what you're talking about.

- He clearly needs an alibi.

Don't worry, bro, I'm here for you.

- I don't need an alibi, I just need some advice.

- If you tell us the dream,

we'll tell you the interpretation.

- What?

- What do you need advice about, man?

- I was with Gita last night.

- (exhales sharply) I thought you were with your woman.

- I was, but I took her back to where she was staying,

and four o'clock in the morning, Gita phoned me up.

- You dog!

- Ugh, she was crying.

And I went round, things got out of hand,

but I didn't touch her.

- So what's the problem?

- Well, she's trying to call me now.

I can't get through.

Toni rang me, she said she's coming to see me now.

- [Najim] What's wrong with that?

- I think Gita told Toni.

- What, that you didn't touch her?

- Well I didn't.

- [Najim] Then what?

- You said you didn't touch her.

- I didn't!

- Didn't what, say that, or touch her? (laughs)

- Touch her.

- So she'd be lying then.

Yes.

- So what's the problem then?

(Akim sighs)

(Najim and Gurjot gasp)

You know what they did

with that American president. (laughs)

- All right, it wasn't like that, it wasn't like that.

- [Najim] Clearly. (laughs)

So why do you need our advice, man?

- Well, do I tell Toni or not?

- Tell her what, that after you took her home

you went to your other woman's house,

but don't worry, nothing happened.

No, you don't tell.

- But if I don't tell her, and suppose Gita's told her,

then it's just gonna look like I'm hiding something.

- You're right, you'd better tell her.

(Najim and Gurjot laugh)

- I can't just tell her.

Suppose she hasn't said anything,

and I go and open my big mouth.

- [Najim] It's not you with the big mouth there,

is it, mate? (Gurjot laughs)

- Not funny.

Look, you're not helping me, all right.

I don't know what to do.

- Look, we said tell her, you said you can't.

- We said don't tell her, you said you must.

You don't need us.

You need an Imam.

(Najim and Gurjot laugh)

- Hey, baby. (gasps) (spits)

- He told us.

- Oh, baby, I love you!

- Love?

You don't know what love is, Akim.

Do you know what I go through every day just to be with you?

I get it from my family, I get it from your family.

I get it from my community, I get it from your community.

And all I ask for me is a bit of respect,

and if you can't give me that,

if you think you're too much of a big man,

you can't even give me that,

then there's nothing more to say.

(somber music)

- Here, you've got something right there. (laughs)

- [Pre] Silly me.

What did you do after that?

- Well, it wasn't my fault, it was Sam's.

Anyway, after that we decided to...

(chair scrapes)

(glass clatters)

(juice trickles)

- Now, I know you put the juice

back in the fridge, didn't you?

No, let him do it, he's got to learn.

(chair scrapes)

- It's okay for you to despise me, Frank,

but don't take it out on Jackson.

(chair scrapes)

- Don't talk nonsense, woman.

- What is it about me that makes me

such a loser in your eyes, Frank?

Is it my heavy hips, my thick lips, or my black skin

that makes me so unattractive to you?

What is it about straight hair and pale skin

that turns you into such a spineless wreck?

You can tell me.

It won't hurt my any more what I've been hurt already.

Am I just a cart horse for you to bear your children?

You have to make a decision, Frank, between me and her.

- You need to stop.

That's what you need to do.

- Why, are you gonna hit me?

There's nothing you can do to me

that hasn't been done before.

Is this my father's fault, your fault, or my fault?

At what point did this become abuse?

Imagination, lust, desire, penetration?

At what point did this become an affair?

Anthea says it takes strength to stay

in a marriage, but she's wrong.

It takes strength to leave a marriage.

- Enough.

- No, Mum!

- Get upstairs now.

- No.

- Go upstairs, Jackson.

- No, I'm not hiding upstairs anymore.

This ends here.

(somber music)

- Yeah, it would have been nice if we'd go there.

And then after, we just should, oh.

Hi.

- Miss Sabbertini, we were hoping

to discuss the Travis Core project.

- [Nicola] That was scheduled for four o'clock.

- We had to bring it forward, but you were out.

- Shopping?

- [Nicola] We can do it now,

or leave it for four as planned.

- No, we won't do either.

Your attitude is less than we expect here at Febru Holdings.

The board feel they've given you ample opportunity--

- [Nicola] Are you firing me?

- We'll wait while you clear your desk.

(somber music)

- [Max] I'm sorry I didn't see you yesterday.

- What makes you think I was here yesterday?

It wasn't me.

- Only you bring flowers.

Thanks for the flowers.

- [Pre] It's nothing.

- No, thank you.

You don't have to, but you do.

It means a lot.

(Max sighs)

(sighs) I'm not afraid of dying, Precious.

But I don't want to die without your forgiveness.

I hurt some special people in my time

and lost them forever.

I don't want to lose them for eternity.

- Yeah.

(somber music)

What we would pay to turn back the hands of the clock, eh?

- [Duke] Have you done your homework, Precious?

- Yes, Daddy.

- [Duke] Well, it's time to come in.

I've set the bath.

- Oh no, no, no.

Mummy says I'm a big girl now, I can do that by myself.

- [Duke] Mummy's not here, and I need

to check that you'll do it properly.

- Oh my god.

- (sniffles) When will it stop, Max?

- What demons drive men to destroy the families

that God has given them to protect?

The one thing in this world that they can call their own?

I taught you that this behavior was normal.

It's not acceptable, Precious, it's not.

(weeping) God forgive me.

- I've got to go.

- Oh, god, help, somebody, please.

- You didn't fall, did you?

Listen, the only number you need

to be dialing is 999, all right?

(phone rings)

Oh, sorry, excuse me.

Hello?

Yeah, okay, I'll be there in a minute.

I'm sorry, can you excuse me?

My father's down the hall.

- Yeah, we'll finish up later.

- [Sajmal] Yeah, sure.

Dad!

Dad, I'm gonna come home.

I want us all to be a family again.

But just give me one second.

(somber music)

(peaceful music)

- [John] Is everything all right, miss?

- Can I sit here?

- Sure.

- That's why we have the benches.

- You know what, right now I need a smart-aleck

like I need a hole in the head.

- Forgive my colleague.

It was his insensitive attempt at an ice-breaker.

May I sit down?

- That's why you have the benches.

- Forgive me being insensitive,

but you clearly have a lot on your mind.

Would you like to talk about it in the church?

Or maybe stay out here and talk about it?

- I came to the church grounds

because I thought it would be quiet.

- Sometimes at the point of our deepest pain,

we can't confide in our closest friends.

- In those times, do you think I would go to strangers?

- Perhaps, but that's not what we're suggesting.

- When you can't turn to friends, trust in God.

- Is that the best you've got?

- [Johnson] He's all you need.

- (sighs) I'm sorry, guys, but I've seen

too many women put their lives on hold

because they believed that some other person

was going to take care of them.

For some, it was the father.

For some, it was the husband.

And for some others, it was the boss.

And when the man don't deliver,

the woman is left on her own to pick up the pieces

and make something of her broken life.

- It doesn't have to be like this.

- I want nothing to do with a man

that starts every sentence with "Thou shalt not."

(intense music)

- Wasn't that worth it, eh?

- Yeah, nice.

- [Akim] Where's Gurjot, he's meant to be here now.

(suspenseful music)

- Ed, look.

- Where's our money?

- No money.

- You're out with your girl, and you've got no money?

We'll take her for the money.

Oh don't worry, mate, we'll bring her back in the morning.

- Remember me fondly, Toni.

- Well someone's gonna die tonight.

- We know that, but we don't know who, or how many.

- What are you gonna do, boys?

You're on our turf.

- [Sam] Oh, that's how it is.

(suspenseful music)

- All right, boys.

- Guns?

- Forget about that for now.

We'd better get going.

We had to do something.

Look, take one.

No one will mess with you.

(gun barrel whirs)

- Come on, let's go.

(upbeat music)

- I love you.

- I know.

- Now I'm done with this.

I could have gotten you killed.

- It's okay.

- No.

(gun clicks)

Guns?

I mean, what are we doing?

No more, Toni.

No more.

- What are you doing?

- I'm coming in now.

- Have you spoken to Nicola today?

You need to speak to her.

- Why, what happened?

- Speak to her.

- Can't I do it tomorrow?

- She no longer works at Febru.

- What?

What happened?

- It's the middle of the night.

I can't go through it all now.

- All right, look, look.

Just go to bed, and we'll go and find her in the morning.

- (laughs) Marcia doesn't work for Nicola anymore,

so I don't have a bed.

- What?

- Well I guess I'll just pick

my stuff up in the morning, then.

- They're packed, I'll get them.

(Akim sighs)

(melancholy music)

(chimes tinkle)

- [John] Excuse me, miss?

Oh, nice to see you again.

I remember you.

- [Nicola] I hoped God would.

- [John] God does remember you.

- If God is looking out for me, why did I lose my job,

despite being the best project manager there?

Why can't I even get an interview,

despite having a CV that shows that I deliver

multi-million dollar projects on time, within budget?

Why, when all my friends wish they had my life

and my career, I can't have a man I can call my own?

Can you answer me that, pastor John Robinson?

- Who knows the mind of God?

(Nicola scoffs)

Nicola.

- That's not an answer.

- Perhaps God is just trying to get your attention.

- Anthea, I told you already, I don't want to talk about it.

- Pre, you're gonna have to talk about it.

You're gonna have to leave Frank at some point,

you're gonna have to.

- Would you stop saying that?

- [Anthea] Pre.

- Frank.

Um, you're home early.

- Did you cook?

- There's some lamb left over.

- I had lamb yesterday, cook something fresh.

- Hi, Frank, how was your day?

- Today was a work day, so I worked.

I've come home tired and hungry,

and my wife hasn't cooked because she's been entertaining.

That's been pretty much my day.

- Entertaining?

She's been looking after the children,

doing their homework.

- Hurry up, Pre.

(velcro rips)

Got to go.

Do some barbecue chicken for when I get back.

- [Anthea] Do you think he heard?

(dark music)

- He heard.

- Oh my goodness!

Gloria, it's a $20 million project!

They will pay me how much?

(gasps)

(laughs) Evan will die!

Gloria, how did you do this?

- I told you, pick your battles.

Decide which ones are important.

- Oh, oh no! (sighs)

- Nic, what's...

Who are you?

- I'm Gloria.

- [Frank] Who is she?

- I said, I'm Gloria.

- I've come to see you.

- Now is not a good time.

- What?

- You didn't hear me the other night, did you, Frank?

You can't do this.

I'm not doing this.

You can't just waltz in here after six months

of no contact and demand anything.

So you thought what, you want me now

for two hours, and then nothing?

That's for another six months,

while you go doing your rounds with other women?

Including my younger sister.

I'm tired of getting the short end of the stick.

Losing my job has shown me

that my priorities are all messed up.

It's my wake-up call.

- Nicola, do not do this.

- Don't do this?

(laughs) I'm not doing anything

that you haven't already done to me.

I was a fool to think that you could respect me,

when I couldn't even respect myself.

Go home, Frank.

Go home and spend your split shift with your wife.

(intense music)

- Because your cousins blew up my city

on the seventh of July 2005, I have the authority

to stop, search, arrest, or detain

anyone I suspect of planning or participating

in any kind of act of terrorism.

Against the car and spread.

(suspenseful music)

- No bombs, (laughs) no guns, no drugs.

Ooh, what have we here?

- Well that's not mine!

- Frank, please.

- You, in the back of the car, now.

- Let him go, Frank.

Let him go, or I'll tell everybody

that I saw you plant those drugs in his pocket.

Get in the car.

(Akim thuds)

(foot thuds)

(Akim coughs)

(somber music)

- Mister Simon, a moment of your time?

- What do you want?

Oh, you.

- Where's Pre?

- I have no idea.

And you know what, good riddance to her.

- You damaged her.

She needs to be as far away from you

as possible so she can heal.

- I thought you were a book salesman.

- I sell books too.

- Pre can talk to you or your church

or any other church she chooses,

but I'm telling you, stay away from my boys.

I'm warning you, you go anywhere near my boys,

and there will be hell to pay.

You know what?

You can have her.

I always said, a woman only turns to God

when the devil hath no more use for her.

- Mr. Simon, God can take anyone at any time.

Here, give me a call if you want me

to come back and talk to you.
