I'm Impressed. I mean It.

In the end, so why bother?
You tell me the secret

Dayan bakery brand.
Picture It,
"The Kosher Klpllng."
And you get the best

A share of the profits,
none of the hassle.
- And your legacy secured.
- Not Interested.
You could retire In luxury.
What, you think I wanna buy my
retirement by selling my soul?
Nat, you've done It.
You've achieved the
Immigrant dream.
You've get your own Business-
Your son's a big-time lawyer.
How long can you and some
Ethiopian kid keep It up?
My grandfather
was born In Stepney,
my father was born
In Walthamstow...
...and I was born In llfond,
you stupid, Ignorant barrow boy.
You don't wanna do this,
old man.
Do you know how long the
Jews have been around?
And how many times
people have come for us?
No one cares about this place.
It dies with you.
Hey, mister, I'm not from
Ethiopia, I'm from Darfur,
and I care.
- I don't like bullies.
-Yeah.
- Ho'll be knocking on your door.
- Yeah, especially If we wln.
I'm nut doing It.
It's Important.
Our future depends on It.
I thought you sald

Well, It's been a while-.
It's Inappropriate
employer-employee relations.

Everythlng's gonna be fine.
I just naecl a little more time,
trust ma.
All right.
(music)
You dld what?
Hold her she should sell

I can ralse the money.
Besides, I think Mrs. Silverlnan
ls sweet on me.
This Is crazy.
I mean, the turnaround at
the shop has been marvelous.
But It won't last.
Think about It.
Take a break.
Ollvla would love
you to take her
on holiday during
half-term-.
Maybe the seaside.
- She'll understand.
This ls your retirement
you're gambling with.
Your Inheritance, you mean.
Dad, you didn't send
me to Cambridge
so I could become a baker.
I'm partner In one of the
country's biggest law firms.
I don't even know what
the shop ls worth.
- Thls ls famlly business.
- So is the shop.
Who the hell are you, anyway?
You turn up out of the blue

-Is this your plan?
Worm your way In and get
It all for yourself?
- Work my father Into hls grave?
- Stephen, enough.
Because: I can tell you what
definitely Isn't family. You.
(glass broken)
You talk about family?
This ls a family business,

Just go, will you?
- Dad.
- Go. Now.
Bloody mu.
Yeah, It's all right,

Looks like you're an old pro,
Nat.
It's been a long time
since I've done this.
You were a great boxer?
Yeah.
Yeah, the next Kid Berg.
Never mind.
You know, the community's
getting smaller.
We cannat rely on Jews.
- There's nothing new there.
- And your polnt ls?
If we Increase our range,
we'll attract more
new customers.
Ara you getting
this from a book?
No, the Internet-.
Will you still be able to bake?
Oh, yeah.
I'll always be able to bake.
My father trusted me with It.
Next time I see hlm,
I don't wanna tell hlm
I let It all go kaput.
He must have loved you very much
to leave you something
so special.
- Dld your father give you that?
- Yeah, In a way.
Ha hld It on ma In case we
needed to bribe someone.
Ahat happened?
-The Janjaweed .
Always the Janjaweed.

They rode into our village
and did terrible things.
Yeah, attacking Muslims.
Madness.
Where's your father new, Awash?
My mother and I made It
to the Red Cross.
Yeah, we waited,
but It was too dangerous.
We had to make It
across the border.
We waited again for many months,
but he never came.
Is he dead?
My mother likes to
pretend he's not.
You know, no one cared about us,
Nat.
My father was a hero
In our village.
You know, he saved lives,
but we lost everything.
You know, we were a real family.
Ifs better he ran
and came with us.
Yeah, but If he'd run, would
you still be wearing his ring?
Well, If he does come for It,
I don't want It
covered In dough.
Give h here.
There you go.
I don't want you losing It.
Thank you.

It's nearly prayer time.
Don't you think God, Allah,
whatever...

to you five times a day?
He hasn't told me to shut up.
I think my Esther would approve.
She always dressed nice.
Yeah, I think It's time
to start living again.
Maybe you can start by taking
that holiday. Make Olivia happy.
Yeah, who'd look after the shop?
You?

You could retire In luxury.
What, you think I wanna buy my
retirement by selling my soul?
Nat, you've done It.
You've achieved the
Immigrant dream.
You've get your own Business-
Your son's a big-time lawyer.
How long can you and some
Ethiopian kid keep It up?
My grandfather

my father was born
In Walthamstow...
...and I was born In llfond,
you stupid, Ignorant barrow boy.
You don't wanna do this,
old man.
Do you know how long the
Jews have been around?
And how many times
people have come for us?
No one cares about this place.
It dies with you.
Hey, mister, I'm not from
Ethiopia, I'm from Darfur,
and I care.
- I don't like bullies.
-Yeah.
- Ho'll be knocking on your door.
- Yeah, especially If we wln.
I'm nut doing It.
It's Important.
Our future depends on It.
I thought you sald

Well, It's been a while-.
It's Inappropriate
employer-employee relations.

All right.
(music)
You dld what?
Hold her she should sell

I can ralse the money.
Besides, I think Mrs. Silverlnan
ls sweet on me.
This Is crazy.
I mean, the turnaround at
the shop has been marvelous.
But It won't last.
Think about It.
Take a break.
Ollvla would love
you to take her

half-term-.
Maybe the seaside.
- She'll understand.
This ls your retirement
you're gambling with.
Your Inheritance, you mean.
Dad, you didn't send

I'm partner In one of the
country's biggest law firms.
I don't even know what
the shop ls worth.

Who the hell are you, anyway?
You turn up out of the blue

- Stephen, enough.
Because: I can tell you what
definitely Isn't family. You.
(glass broken)
You talk about family?

Bloody mu.
Yeah, It's all right,

Looks like you're an old pro,
Nat.
It's been a long time
since I've done this.
You were a great boxer?
Yeah.
Yeah, the next Kid Berg.
Never mind.
You know, the community's
getting smaller.
We cannat rely on Jews.
- There's nothing new there.
- And your polnt ls?
If we Increase our range,
we'll attract more
new customers.
Ara you getting

No, the Internet-.
Will you still be able to bake?
Oh, yeah.
I'll always be able to bake.
My father trusted me with It.
Next time I see hlm,
I don't wanna tell hlm

He must have loved you very much

Ahat happened?

They rode into our village
and did terrible things.
Yeah, attacking Muslims.
Madness.
Where's your father new, Awash?
My mother and I made It
to the Red Cross.
Yeah, we waited,
but It was too dangerous.
We had to make It
across the border.
We waited again for many months,
but he never came.
Is he dead?
My mother likes to
pretend he's not.
You know, no one cared about us,
Nat.
My father was a hero
In our village.
You know, he saved lives,
but we lost everything.
You know, we were a real family.
Ifs better he ran
and came with us.
Yeah, but If he'd run, would
you still be wearing his ring?
Well, If he does come for It,
I don't want It
covered In dough.
Give h here.
There you go.
I don't want you losing It.
Thank you.

It's nearly prayer time.
Don't you think God, Allah,
whatever...

to you five times a day?
He hasn't told me to shut up.
I think my Esther would approve.
She always dressed nice.
Yeah, I think It's time
to start living again.
Maybe you can start by taking
that holiday. Make Olivia happy.
Yeah, who'd look after the shop?
You?
