"such that both m divides n squared plus
one and that n divides m squared plus one?"
When will we find out?
About a week, probably.
It's all right, male. Relax to
the Max. Take a chill pill.
Talking of which,
this hill's a killer.
Do you mind if we
take the weight off?
- Can I ask you a question?
- Hang on.
Go on then, hit me.
- Hit you?
- Ask me the f***ing question!
Why did things go wrong
for you, at the Olympiad?
There's lots of reasons, really.
My "thing" was kicking
off around that time.
My ailment.
Cutting me down in
the prime of my life.
I just sort of lost it.
I can't lose it.
Nathan, you haven't gotta
prove anything, all right?
What's important is that you enjoy
doing it, maths, and you do, don't you?
So whether you get
on the team or not,
you're gonna do amazing
things in the future.
You haven't.
Well, thanks a lot.
Hi. Hi.
Um, can I order
number 47, please,
with, um,
small chips, thank you.
It come with six
balls, number 47.
Yeah, I know. Usually...
Sorry, are you new?
It's just we come
here all the time
and it's usually just fine,
you give us an extra ball.
Number 48 is a large
prawn ball meal.
You get nine balls, large
chips and crackers.
Yeah, I know.
No. Sorry.
Sorry.
No, he doesn't like, um, crackers
and he likes to have a small chips.
I'm sorry, it's just...
My son, he's quite picky
and he needs the meal
number to be a prime number
and there to be a prime
number of prawn balls.
And, um,
if he had nine balls it
wouldn't be a prime number
and number 48 isn't...
Isn't... Isn't a prime...
Is it? Is it? I don't
know. Yes, I do.
Um, yes, no, I'm right.
- Is that okay?
- Yeah.
There we go. A big
fat "well done".
It's all spilt out.
No, no, it's fine. Nathan, Nathan,
don't get upset. It's fine.
- No, Mum, it's not fine.
- It's fine.
- You don't do anything right.
- I'm sorry?
Everything you do is wrong.
Well, I'm sorry, okay?
Thank you so much!
Sorry.
That doctor didn't know his herbivores
from his carnivores, did he?
And do you know why?
Because he's not
as smart as you.
know that has what you have?
Einstein.
Okay.
But...
I just want you to know
that you're fine the
way you are, Nathan.
So do you want one of them ice
cream things for dessert or what?
- Dad!
- What?
No! Not again.
- What do I do? Do I lean forward?
- No, back!
Back? No, this is a disaster.
I know. I know. Give me this.
As promised, I
come bearing news.
Are you sure it's okay if I stand out
here? I don't wanna put you out.
- Yeah.
- Invite me in, Nathan.
- Come in.
- Thank you very much.
Put the kettle on, then.
- Put the kettle on what?
- It's okay. I'll do it.
- Hi, Julie.
- Hi, Mr. Humphreys.
- How are you?
- Very good, thank you.
- I got it.
My goodness. Is that
what I think it is?
I hope so, otherwise it would
have been a wasted journey.
Um, you open it.
- You want me to open it? All right then.
- Yeah.
Dear Mr. Ellis, I am writing to
let you know that unfortunately...
"...you have successfully earned a place
on the United Kingdom maths squad!"
My goodness! Nathan, darling.
- Well, that's good news, isn't it?
- My gosh!
- Well done, mate.
- Well done.
Why is that unfortunate?
No, I was having a joke, mate.
It says the training camp's
in Taiwan this year.
- Have you ever been on a plane before?
- No. He's not.
- Well, that's exciting, isn't it?
- Um...
But...
I should study.
- Are you leaving now, or...
- Nathan.
He doesn't mean that.
Probably, yeah.
- Okay.
- Well...
- I'm gonna go and study.
- Okay.
Well done, mate.
- He is pleased. He's...
- I know he is, yeah.
I'm gonna have something stronger
than a cup of tea, actually, I think.
- I'm gonna have a glass of wine.
- Okay.
Would you like...
Okay, no, that's fine.
But I mean, if you're
gonna have one.
Actually, I was thinking maybe,
you know you'd like to...
To join us next month,
take him to the airport.
I know that would
make Nathan happy.
you before they...
I'm taking a bit of
a break from work.
It's a bit of a forced break.
It's a bit like I'm
being fired, basically.
I'm sorry.
But I wanted to say to you
even though I'm not working
for the school any more, I'd really
like to carry on teaching Nathan.
- Really?
- Yeah. I mean, if that's all right with you?
- That would be amazing.
- Obviously for no money.
Jesus Christ!
My God!
That's a bit of a weird one.
- Thanks for the drink and stuff.
- Not at all.
- Don't worry about it. All right.
- Yeah, no, good.
- Will you be all right? Okay.
- Yeah. Cheers, Julie. Thank you.
- Thank you. Take care.
- All right.
We were just talking, Nathan.
I was looking at Jupiter.
I didn't do it on purpose.
It was just...
It was just nice, you know,
to have someone to talk to.
For once. For me.
Sometimes I feel a bit alone.
Okay.
What else can we write?
Numbers? Say a prime number.
- Quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly.
- 353.
353!
Whoa!
Just in time.
Perfect timing.
Fireworks night again, is it?
He's letting you hold
his hand, isn't he?
The sparkler helps.
Come on, Nathan.
It's time to change the fish.
If you come now you can get
Extra scoop of Ice cream.
And what do I get?
- You don't get anything.
- Go ahead, go ahead.
- I'm lucky.
- Yeah, you get me.
I like a man in a shed.
- Go and get me ice cream.
- But you're not getting...
I told you, you're not getting...
Ice cream, Julie!
Nathan?
Jesus.
Nathan!
Nathan, It's okay.
Nathan, I'm not angry.
Nathan!
Michael? Michael?
- Everything all right?
- Yeah.
to this in a weird sort of way.
Yeah, I know.
Little trip down memory Lane.
- Okay. We all ready?
- Hang on.
This is for you.
Nathan...
What do you say?
- Thank you.
- Well, I used to use them,
so they're probably cursed.
But, you know, it might remind
you of home or something.
- Very lovely of you.
- Right then.
- Shall we get this show on the road?
- Yep. Let's go.
Nathan?
Can you get in
the back with me?
Nathan, I think Mr. Humphreys will
be more comfortable in the front.
It's okay, darling.
Darling, darling, it's okay.
I'll drive carefully.
No, It's all right.
I'm actually surprisingly bendy.
Christ.
It's Tricky Dicky. Look out.
All right, Richard?
Martin Humphreys. '95.
Humphreys! Yeah,
hell's teeth. Yes.
Yes. The last I heard,
you were, um...
- Teaching, was it?
- Yes.
Yeah. At what
university? I can't...
- It's a secondary school.
- Yeah.
Wasted opportunity, this one.
So what are you doing here?
You flying off to Ibiza?
Fleeing the world of reason and rationality
for some hallucinogenic escape?
No, I'm dropping
this one off, actually.
Nathan Ellis, I presume. Yes.
The dragon.
And where have you
