Breaking And Entering Page #5

F***.

Hey!

We're getting out of here.

What about Miro?

What happened to your hand?

Forgot my keys.

You're bleeding.

No.

I didn't fall, Mom.

Why can't you do it?

You're a tailor.

Dad!

Dad! Dad!

I'm too old to chase robbers.

Dad!

All right, hey.

Oh. Hey, what are you crying about?

Where the hell have you been?

We've been worried sick.

Why is Mommy crying?

Why aren't you in bed?

I near... I could've caught him.

I nearly caught him.

The police weren't going to get here,

so I followed him.

I mean, I imagine,

it's just a boy.

What did the police do with my car?

The police?

They were here for probably about a minute.

So what are you telling me?

Somebody's stolen my car?

- Eh?

- Oh...

My bag's in there,

the wallet, my keys.

Oh, Jesus Christ, Will.

You left the car open?

Yeah, well, I was chasing a thief, Liv.

Did you get a look at this boy?

No, not really.

Hey, hey...

it's okay.

Reminds me of when I first met you,

driving around,

trying to get her to sleep in the back.

You in your nightgown.

Remember?

So beautiful.

Will, a boy can still stab you.

Now, what if you'd caught up with him?

I don't know.

Anyway, he's not going to come back.

It's probably all over now.

Zoran...

Zoran, watch.

Hey, did you see that?

Did you see that?

I just landed it.

Yeah, yeah, nice.

You're in the wrong place, man.

I telephoned earlier about my jacket.

Yes.

This is strange.

You probably don't remember,

we bumped into each other the other day

at the sport center.

We gave you our towel.

Oh, that's right.

So, I've, uh, I tore my jacket.

Oh, I can't repair that.

Well, I can, but...

you'd always see the tear.

I don't think, the cost,

I don't think is worth doing.

Really?

It's a favorite.

I'd hate to throw it away.

I can try.

Come back Friday.

Great. Friday.

Good, I'll see you on Friday.

Friday.

- Excuse me!

- Excuse me!

Your wallet.

It was in your jacket.

Oh, thank you.

It's new.

I've already lost one wallet this week.

Thank you.

I was rude, I'm sorry.

This city, you know,

you see someone in one place,

and then another,

it makes you very...

Sure.

- I have to get back.

- All right.

Can you...

if I, if I brought a suit, can...

I lost some weight... if I

brought it tomorrow, say?

I'm out tomorrow.

Friday then?

Okay.

Thank you for this.

Will, she's asleep.

- Huh?

- It's a miracle.

I can't believe it.

That's great, huh?

Why are you trying on suits?

Nothing really fits me.

It looks fine.

Can I say 'Rosemary says'?

Absolutely.

What does Rosemary say?

She says...

Well, you know, it's: Bea says 'I need.'

I say 'I'm here,' she says, 'I need,'

I say 'I'm here.'

I'm not talking about going

to work tomorrow, I'm just...

thinking about going back to work.

Good.

And start thinking about you.

About us.

Bea can come with me sometimes.

She can dig, make a mess.

No, that's great,

but you're busy and distracted.

And?

Go on.

And...

she's not my daughter.

And right now when she's such a, she's so...

you can't trust me to take care of her.

If you were measuring how far...

away from where we need to be,

you and me...

is that a long way?

I don't think you can ask

a question like that. It's...

Put on a suit,

sound like a suit.

It feels a long,

long way right now...

from where it needs to be.

I wish we could unsay and unhurt

back to wherever that is,

and start again.

And how far back?

I remember you bit me.

You were angry with me and you bit me.

I don't remember why.

I don't know why either,

but I remember I bit you.

You really bit me.

And I thought we were very close.

We were.

Yeah, but that's just teeth.

It's not invisible, but...

That's amazing.

Astonishing, great.

- Shall I put it on?

- Yes.

Is there, somewhere?

Uh, yeah, my son's room.

Just there.

Is he in...?

No, no, he's at school.

Your son, is he studying to be an architect?

No, he's only 15.

It's a school project.

I'm an architect...

of sorts.

Hmm.

Funny.

Your son's project.

We use those figures.

They're scale figures.

They're from Japan.

Hard to find in London.

Oh.

He must get them from school.

Uh, your trousers?

You have, uh, children?

Oh, you were with a little girl.

- My daughter.

- Uh-huh.

I remember her.

This will take a week, at least.

I'll have to remove the lining.

That's fine.

I'll write you a bill for the jacket.

Should I just write 'repairs'?

Yeah.

What's this?

A practice keyboard.

No space for piano up here.

You can play electric or electronic keyboard?

Um, no, I'm happy with this.

You know, I imagine.

You know, so.

Not a good place to make noises.

You could always use headphones.

I'm fixing this and I, um,

should mind my own business.

People like me from my country,

we... I'm Bosnian...

we think it's dangerous not to be able to hear.

Tell your son if he's interested,

he can come and see our office,

you know, to look around.

We're very close.

King's Cross.

I might do that.

Will Francis is your name?

- Mm.

- Hmm.

She'll never be his daughter.

You wish Bea was Will's daughter, is that it?

I wish she was.

I wish she was.

Then maybe we'd all be happy.

I don't want to be cold.

I don't want to be sad.

I don't want to be angry with him anymore.

I have this light box.

What kind of light box?

For depression.

The doctor prescribed it

and I sit in front of it for hours.

It's supposed to stop me from getting down.

Give me an image of that change

that you hope for in Will.

He's looking at me.

Sugar?

Uh, no, thank you.

I think you'll want sugar.

Okay.

Are you unhappy?

What makes you say that?

You always seem, when you

come here, I don't know.

I'm happy enough.

Happy enough.

So English.

I think it was the happiest day, really...

when Bea was born.

And then sometimes I think...

sometimes I think Bea was punished

because I left my husband and I left Sweden.

And then I met Will,

and he was kind.

And we were happy,

we really were.

But then I just push him away,

I don't know why.

I just push him away from me.

Oh, this is, um, this is going

to sound really stupid.

I forgot the shirt.

I was going to bring a shirt

for you, you to copy and...

I forgot, I forgot it.

Um, all right.

Should I go back and get it?

I can go back and get it now.

And I'd be, like, two seconds.

Okay.

Or perhaps when you come for the suit?

It's a bad time?

You mean without the shirt?

Right, that doesn't make any sense, does it?

Uh...

I'm going to the supermarket.

- Right.

- I have to go to work.

How do you get the shopping home?

Uh, bus.

I'm practically driving a bus.

My car's stolen,

so I have a company van.

It's electric.

You could probably walk faster.

Pedestrians will overtake us.

Say yes, and what's the worst

thing that could happen?

Yes.

Tell me about your son.

- Mirsad?

- Mirsad?

It's, um...

He hates his name,

but was a name for Sarajevo, not for London.

Now his name's Miro.

But I think he should love his name.
