Offices will replace the centre.
If the council was shutting me down,
they would send letters.
I've just quit. What do you mean you
quit?
You're right,
I should focus on my art.
How much of this did you take?
Four teen! I don't know. Oh!
And YOU are on very thin ice.
My office first thing
Monday morning.
You'll move in? I can't believe
you decided to live with him, Winnie.
Wait. What? I'm living with him.
What?
Why didn't you follow your heart,
Ma? I did. Her name was Nazra.

HE YAWNS
Hi. Good morning. Good morning.
SHE SPEAKS URDU
What are YOU doing here?
I just wanted to say thank you.
For what? For what you shared.
About Nazra.
Erm, I have to start fitness class.
I have some good news.
OK, quickly.
I've decided to live with Guy.
I thought you're
already living with him.
No, like, properly.
Marriage?
No. Kids?
What? No. I've unpacked my boxes.
You unpacked boxes?
Yeah. That's your good news?
Yes.
OK, never mind.
Jamal.
I'm happy for you.
Mrs Jamshidi?
Yes. I'm here to exercise
Section 21 of the Property Act.
Sorry, no more exercise,
the class is full.
No, no, no. Who's that? I'm not here
for your aerobics class.
I'm Barbara Barnes
from the council
I'm sorry, but I'm not interested.
Er, don't. No, no, no, no.
We should do something.
It's fine. Mum's handling it.
You stupid woman. I will sue you.
I will not tolerate
aggressive behaviour.
MIMICS: I will not tolerate
aggressive behaviour.
Right, I'm coming in.
No, no, no, no way.
Help, we're being robbed!
That's not good.
I've got a meeting with The Boss,
man. I'm worried you're on thin ice.
Help! Go away!
She needs us.
No! No way.
Let me in! Get out. Go away!
Let me in! Go away, go away!
Gents. Gents!
Right. Don't dare to come back.
OK, you get Mum inside,
I'll distract the lady.
SHE SPEAKS URDU
I don't want to have to say we've
got to break the door down.
Sorry. Hi.
Jamma, Farida's son. You are?
Barbara Barnes from the council.
Hey, Barbara Barnes
from the council.
Erm, can I just?
Erm, I'm sure there's just been
a misunderstanding.
No, I don't think there's
been a misunderstanding.
I'm here to evict you, so I need
to get in the property right now.
Sorry, Barbara, do you use
Le Peau Peau?
Sorry, what?
Le Peau Peau, the face cream.
It's just, you have amazing skin.
CHUCKLES: Erm, no.
If I could afford brands like that,
I wouldn't work for the council.
Right. No, it's just because
I work for the brand
and you've got the same glow
from the adverts. It's uncanny.
No Oh, my God. Let me
I've got a sample inside. I can
No, you don't have to. No, least
I can do. You work long hours.
You just wait here.
Oh, look. Shabnam says she's got
samosas for you. Why don't you?
HE SPEAKS URDU
RINGING TONE
Winnie, I need a favour.
Grab as much Le Peau Peau as you can
and bring it to my mum's centre.
I'm on the way to the meeting,
Jamma. Are you coming?
Winnie, please just grab some Le
Peau Peau from the stash we stole.
Yah, I should probably tell you,
you are on
On thin ice, I know. Tell The Boss
I've got chickenpox or something.
Jamma's got chick No!
Let's get these stolen goods.
All right, listen up, everyone.
They want to shut us down.
Oh, my God, why?
Coloniser's going to colonise.
Who did it?
Was it you, Nadeem?
Mum, what are you doing?
Somebody's trying to sabotage me.
No-one's trying to sabotage you.
The council want to repossess
the building.
We have to do something.
I say we handcuff ourselves to the radiators
and throw soup on their face.
Which flavour soup?
Cream of justice.
ALL: Yes!
Or we occupy the building
until they leave.
I have to pick up my children
from school.
What is more important,
your children or my legacy?
DOOR CLOSES
Farida, Farida!
The crazy lady rip your face.
SHE GASPS
Beret, get the doors now!
SHE SPEAKS URDU
How do I look? Quickly. Hurry up!
Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick,
quick!
What do we want? ALL: War!
When do we want it?
ALL: Horse!
What? Sure. What do we want?
ALL: War! When do we want it?
ALL: Horse!
And then Eva from work
ate me Scotch egg from the fridge.
And I just felt very violated.
Am I boring you?
Sorry?
You seem distracted.
Er No.
What makes you say that?
I don't know, it it
seems quite busy in here.
Oh. Is that affecting you?
Is it affecting you?
Ahem, OK, yeah,
full personal disclosure -
yes, there have been some changes
in my life,
and I'm sorry that's impacted you.
But you know what? I'm here.
I am
present.
No distractions, OK?
Oh, fuck.
Seriously?
Hey, Babs, how's it going?
The moisturiser's on its way.
Are you having a laugh?
This is entirely illegal.
Illegal? I cannot have criminal
record. They would deport me.
Just ignore her.
She's such a drama queen.
Stay away from the building.
We have weapons.
Mum! You can't say that.
I'm a horse and I declare a war.
Babs, we have some demands.
You are squatters, not kidnappers.
We demand that you reconsider your
heartless decision to throw us out.
Really? Yeah!
We demand your apologies
for ripping my face!
OK, OK.
We demand to see a court order
before you threaten us
with bailiffs.
What?
I'm hungry. Can you demand food?
Oh, I could murder
a pumpkin gyoza.
She's not Deliveroo.
We have sent countless
eviction notices,
all of which have been ignored.
We demand respect, status
and recognition.
CLEARS HIS THROA
And gyozas.
OK. You are on no ground
to be making demands.
As for your court order
here!
Now, let us in!
BABY CRIES
Well, we're not going down for something
that's your family's fault.
No, no, we just need to stick together.
She said they sent eviction notice.
That's a negative. They have not.
Well, no. No, they haven't
not not sent letters.
What? So, they HAVE sent letters?
Yeah, all right, Shabnam.
If you want to get technical, yes.
So you knew and you didn't tell us?
I didn't want to make things worse
between Mum and Dad.
Farida.
Where's your husband?
Oh, very nice place.
Just you here?
Yeah. Sort of.
What brings you here, Saif?
You were giving her a singing lesson?
Oh, no. Er, she's my client.
I'm a therapist.
I thought you were a singer.
No, no. The choir is just a hobby.
You know, your family,
they must be worried about you.
You like the Freedom?
Freedom?
What, the concept or the nightclub?
Michael George.
Oh, er, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, sure.
I'm a fan.
Michael George didn't play the tabla.
Right? I'm
You see, Farida is the lead singer.
I just play the tabla.
When your wife is the lead singer,
it is not easy.
What are you doing tonight, Alan?
ALL ARGUE
Everyone, just calm down.
I'm just going to talk to her.
No, please, I need you to move.
I need you to move.
What's happening?
Excuse me, you can't be here.
ALL ARGUE
Jamal, what are you doing?
Jamma, do something!
ALL SHOUTING
ECHOING: Jamma! Jamma! Jamma!
Jamma! Jamma!
FARIDA: Jamal!
Oh, what the fuck is that?
Er
HE MUTTERS
It's the one thing I wanted to do
and I suck at it.
It's what art school's for, innit?
It's fine.
There's no art school.
What?
TEARY: I don't belong there, man, and
I don't belong at your workplace.
This is the only place in the world
where I don't have to question
who I am.
LAUGHTER
FARIDA SPEAKS URDU
My God.
SHE GIGGLES
INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE
Stop!
Look, Barbara,
if you're going to shut
this place down,
I think you should know
a bit about us.
This is Gideon.
He didn't have a family
when he came to this country.
He does now.
This is Nadeem.
His immigration status meant
he was legally not allowed to work
nor claim benefits.
Who helped you apply for a visa,
Uncle?
My solicitor.
Really?
He still uses the printer here.
This is Pamela
And I'm not in support
of this criminal behaviour.
Shut up, Pamela!
We give you baby-sitting for £2.50.
You hate your kids.
This is my boss.
I actually don't know her name
because I've always been
too scared to ask.
Susan. She's probably here
to fire me
Susan? Focus. OK.
She's probably here to fire me
because I didn't show up to work.
I did it because I couldn't
bear losing this place.
Oh.
When we were kids,
we moved house nine times.
Every time we unpacked, we knew
we'd have to pack it up again.
This centre was the only
consistency we had.
I know to you
it's just some real estate
you can get a lot of money for.
But to us, it's
It's our home.
Actually, my daughter used to
come here to learn eyebrow waxing.
She's not around any more.
ALL: Oh. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Oh, she's not dead, she's at uni
Oh. ..studying beauty.
ALL: Oh.
Look, I know that you want to think
that I'm the bad guy.
But I'm just doing my job.
The area has changed
and the rent's going up.
The council itself is struggling.
And the simple answer is
it's too late. The new tenants are
bringing their contractors tomorrow.
So that's it?
I'm sorry.
Well, no, no.
Let's give them a minute.
No, no. Let's go.
Jamal
Stop. The lady is right.
Isaac, go and grab our things.
But, Mum
It's OK. It's not the first time
I lost something I loved.
I am actually here
to talk to your mum.
My mum? Camille and Clement
loved the photograph in your pitch.
Everyday women doing everyday
things. It's the perfect angle.
She's going to be the new face
of Le Peau Peau.
So I'm not fired? No, you are fired.
But I got us the campaign.
And you've also stolen
£900 worth of products.
Farida.
What am I meant to do with these?
Ah, that'll be for me.
Thanks.
Great.
I was going to tell you
I was mad at you, but
So I'm just going to wait
for another day
to tell you that you are unreliable
so selfish and
a shit friend, actually.
You know about Guy.
I left my flatmates for you, Jam.
I'm really sorry.
Lucky for me, I found someone else.
Already? Who?
Fresh start. When did this happen?
I asked him during your speech.
During my speech?
You were going on a bit.
But You don't get to be mad.
I'm happy for you.
You got Guy, remember?
I've got Guy.
And we've got a mezzanine, so
Shit.
Shit!
Has anyone got the key?
Hey.
Yeah, I'll just, erm
OK, er, so
first of all, I really appreciate
the gesture.
With the unpacking.
It's, erm
Yeah. But I know about you living
with Winnie,
so I'm not sure
I completely understand any of this.
Oh, no, that's not happening.
That's not happening? Hmm.
OK. All right. Erm
I think I'm putting a bit too much
pressure on this relationship
and I don't want to force you
into anything.
You're not forcing me.
I want to live here.
I'm not sure it's the right thing
for either of us right now.
Cool.
Sweet. All right.
So how long have you known
about the Winnie thing?
Since the escape room.
Ah, so you were testing me.
Don't do that. No, I get it.
You've got a tiny house.
You need it all to yourself.
This is this is this is also
my workspace.
OK, well, I made it better. No,
Jamma, you are a tornado of energy.
How am I a tornado?
Shit!
Fuck!
Just
Oh, fuck!
You OK? Yeah.
You? Yeah, I'm fantastic. Good.
I'll just leave, then. I don't want
to disrupt your perfect life.
Well, I don't have a perfect life.
Your handwash cost 20 quid.
Who spends 20 quid on handwash, Guy?
I didn't spend 20 quid on the
handwash. It was actually £31.
31? Wow.
Why is that a problem? You love
my handwash. That's the problem.
The handwash, the cushions,
your temperature-control kettle.
It's the cushions now
and a kettle. You don't get it.
No.
This is what happens, innit?
This is what happens.
What?
We're too different.
Yeah, we are.
For those who work in harmony
