Breaking And Entering
When do you stop looking at each other?
Shouldn't there be a warning?
Shouldn't somebody say to us,
'Hey, watch out, pay attention'?
Because you can be thinking,
'I'm okay, we're okay,
we're good.'
Then you turn around and...
a distance between you.
Zorany! Miro!
I've got a little job for you.
The Speed Merchants?
I'm sorry, I apologize.
Traffic.
Yeah, bad traffic for three days?
Hi, Bea.
Hi, Dad.
Very exciting.
Okay, Bea.
- No, I want...
- Stop with the balloon.
No, stop, stop.
Who's that?
- That's one of the cleaners.
- Yeah.
It's the cleaner, yeah.
Yeah, you know her...
Erika.
She's staggering.
Staggering.
Why do you have a picture
of one of the cleaners on your computer?
I was just experimenting with my camera.
I was just, um, you know,
'Can I just...?
Oh, that's good.'
Come on.
It's all right for you, mate,
you've got a gorgeous,
Swedish wife.
Girlfriend.
Half Swedish.
You cannot say girlfriend after ten years.
You all right?
I mean, isn't that true?
You've been there,
are you gassed in Sweden if you're ugly?
because some of the men can be very ugly,
but I've never seen an ugly Swedish woman.
Jesus, look at Liv.
Oh, I love this space.
We do. We think it's
a steal. Thanks for coming.
That's us. Let's go!
Are we crazy?
No.
About what?
King's Cross.
Sandy still thinks we're crazy to move there.
It's so... the area.
It's a great office, isn't it?
And it was a...
It's a great project,
it was a great night.
I don't know.
It's all great.
Thank you for making an effort tonight.
The launch,
I know it's not your...
but it really helped.
It's okay. It's fine.
Was it an effort?
What? That's her.
That's Bea.
No, that's a fox.
No, it's her,
she was exhausted.
They're taking over London.
I hate that noise.
It's so late.
How can she just not sleep?
I don't think going to her always...
I don't know if that helps.
I know you don't.
Let's go back and see someone.
I've seen too many someones.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
Listen, what you're doing,
the whole project, for London,
the office, everything...
it's wonderful.
I think it can genuinely be something...
Rubbish.
- Terrible.
- ... genuinely rubbish-like.
Crap.
I'll come back.
Down, hold...
one, two, three.
Turn, one, two, three.
Bea, darling, it's 3:30 in the morning.
We have to stop this.
One, two...
Hello?
Yeah, well, no, I mean,
I'm his partner, so...
Yes, I am.
What? !
Hi.
Officer, this place is my business.
Go on, go ahead.
- My partner's in there already.
- Okay.
I had everything on that laptop,
my life is on that laptop.
I'm very sorry, sir.
Will! Will!
All the computers, my laptop,
the petty cash...
Well, how did they get in?
Through the roof.
- What about the alarm?
- They turned it off.
Well, how do they know the code?
I wasn't here.
I don't know.
- Jesus Christ.
- Do you have cleaners?
It's not the cleaners.
This is covered in glass.
It's not the cleaners.
I know it's...
I know the cleaners.
How can we have a break-in on our first day?
Unless the cleaners have turned
into a bunch of acrobats.
Who is it?
It's Zoran and Miro.
- Hey.
- Hey.
How's my best nephew, hmm?
- Dragan.
- Huh?
See my hands? See his?
Uh-huh.
His dad had the big brains.
I had the big hands.
Your dad had hands like a girl's.
And the girls loved him.
It's the same with you two.
My son is the clumsy one.
This is for you.
Wipe everything.
You know how to do that?
Erase everything?
They'll be delivering new computers,
and then you can go back in,
my little monkey.
Hi, Mom.
How was school?
It was okay.
Lots of homework?
No, not really.
Not really?
Mirsad,
you've not been at school for weeks.
They sent another letter.
It's a mistake... half the time
they don't know who's there
and who's not there.
Now we have to go back to see people
at the Social Services.
We survived.
Do you understand?
We survived,
and that's not free.
I didn't ask to survive.
Imagine your father.
If we could offer him just one day,
one hour... imagine...
You have a life and you are throwing it away.
I don't even remember him.
I don't remember him.
Where do you go?
Where do you go every day?
I'm working, I'm earning money.
You have to go to school.
That's what we promised,
with police and the court.
Otherwise, they'll put you in prison.
I'll be 16 in three months.
Mirsad...
You're a clever boy.
You're clever,
you've got a brain.
I have to go. I'm late.
If somebody,
if one of his family,
if any of our people are
leading you, I'm telling you,
if anyone of them is,
I'll kill them!
And I wouldn't care!
We've never really had a proper diagnosis,
but I've always known Bea was special.
Yeah!
She's double happy, double sad,
double excited, double awake,
double needy... well, no,
triple needy, actually.
I know even...
even when Bea was ten months old,
she, she was... already distressed by noise.
a particular blanket next to her
or-or eat with a particular spoon.
Lately it's been getting worse
and she can't sleep at all.
She can't manage at school,
where, uh...
all of us, just completely at our wits' end.
I can't, I'm sorry, I'm late.
...eat foods of a certain color.
Sorry.
Sorry.
I'm Rosemary McCloud.
Hi, Rosemary.
I'm Will.
Where's Bea?
Oh, no, Bea...
No, the structure is that before I begin
any sort of diagnosis,
I'd like to meet the parents first, alone.
Right, great.
So I'm just, uh,
finishing with Liv.
Um...
Well, I'd like to, uh, listen
to these documentaries.
I must have heard them in the past.
Uh, no, they're mostly World Service.
Liv explained that she's going
to semi-retire until Bea gets...
That's not true.
- Effectively.
- Will...
It's, it's either Bea's gymnastics,
Bea's art therapy,
Bea's music therapy,
it's a sacrifice is all I'm saying.
Liv won prizes for the work
she did, did she tell you that?
It's a big sacrifice is all I'm saying, hmm.
I was just explaining to Rosemary...
She's up all night.
...that, um, in these past few
months, that Bea's gotten worse.
- Hmm.
- Yeah.
And, uh, she's not sleeping,
and... it's intense.
Yes.
Hav-Have either of you... therapy...
have either of you considered
ever-ever thought about doing that or...?
I did see someone.
When?
For a while,
'cause I can get low sometimes.
- I just go into low...
- Wow.
Um, my father died and my mother died
- and my sister died and...
- Hmm.
It's family with a short life expectancy.
And a grandmother of 93.
And a grandmother of 93.
But some days the cup is empty
and some days its 93% full.
Were you, um, were you
brought up in Sweden or...?
Oh, my father was American,
and I went to university there.
- Uh-huh.
- Chicago.
Addicted to cold.
No.
Uh, are you concerned about Bea?
Sure, you know, but Liv is...
Liv worries so much, there's,
there's not much room... for...
You know,
but a 13-year-old girl
