Comes a Bright Day Page #5

Well, what about the

bracelet?

You may well ask.

Two days after she heard

about the death

and how he

saved her husband to be.

Parcel arrives...

and it's the bracelet.

From the best friend.

From the man that

she loved.

Wow.

A couple of weeks after

the wedding.

Ruby's wearing the bracelet.

It's this bracelet.

And she realizes there's

an inscription

on the inside of the band.

What did it say?

It says "For Ruby..."

"... for love..."

"... forever."

Isn't that beautiful?

Yeah, It is.

I think it's just

heartbreaking story.

Charlie ruined it for me

a couple of months before

by telling me that

the young duke,

he brought something back

from Belgium himself.

Namely chronic syphilis.

But I choose not to

include that in my version.

Having fun?

Oh, Jesus.

Not again leave

her alone.

Please, you can take

anything but not that.

Please, you can take

anything.

Please, don't take that.

No, please.

What can I say?

I'm a... magpie.

It's only a bracelet.

It was much more than

that, Charlie.

I know.

They said they'd call

us, right?

How are you gonna get me

up through the ceiling?

Hey, fellas.

Argh, not you again.

What is it?

Can I suggest that we

order some medical supplies?

And while we're at it, I

don't know about anyone

else but I'm starving.

Ah, what do you fancy?

Chinese, Thai, maybe a pizza?

Well, now you

come to ask, there's a place

just around the corner that

does the best

and I mean the very best pasta.

Are you serious?

Ask for the mushroom

risotto... It's today's special.

Oh really, Mushroom Risotto?

Oh, it's wild mushroom,

actually.

Oh, I'm sorry.

F***ing risotto.

Good.

I'm starving, let's order.

Whatever makes you happy

Cameron.

Mushroom risotto.

Good work.

Good work, Sam.

You handled that

very well.

Yeah, don't sound too surprised.

Could you really eat

something right now?

Yeah.

Best thing to do is eat

yourself out of a crisis.

That's a very feminine

thing to do.

Yeah, well, I like to think

that it lurks within me.

Four portions of wild

mushroom risotto.

One portion

of spaghetti pomodoro

and throw in some bread,

salad and plenty of water.

Er, nothing.

It'll be my pleasure, Officer.

It's a good sign isn't it?

They're hungry.

Excuse me.

What do you want?

Er, I need to use

the lavatory.

That'll have to wait.

Well, if it wasn't urgent

I wouldn't be asking.

Jesus.

You take him.

Or you could untie us.

Charlie could take care

of himself

and you have to

untie us soon to let us eat.

Any trouble you can

blame me.

Not blame you.

Shoot you.

Okay hold it in.

You'll have to wait until we've

finished this call.

You sorted it?

It's very simple, Inspector.

Have you sorted it?

Then you better find the

Home Secretary hadn't you?

I swear that sounded

like compliment.

It's not my problem.

You be careful with

those all right?

Thanks.

Right off you go, no

funny business.

Thank you.

He's having a rough time.

He was with Clara for

forty-five years

and he's having

to learn how to be alone.

And it's not easy.

You just saved him his

dignity though.

Well I was thinking more

about us,

sitting next to him for the next

twelve hours to be honest.

Well, let's hope it

doesn't go on

for another 12 hours, eh?

Amen to that.

What?

Nothing.

I know you, Sam Smith.

And I know you know me.

If you say a word or show

in any way that you know me

I'll kill you, understand?

I don't know what you mean.

You heard me.

One word or a nod or anything

else and I will kill you

because you'll be

a witness

and if I don't he

certainly will.

I don't know you.

Don't try me.

Grub's up!

"Vici!"

Thanks, Officer.

"Vici."

Yeah, damn right, "Vici."

Right, what did you

just say?

I said, "Vici."

"Vici," what the f***

is that?

It was to let my best

friend know I was all right.

He works at the caf just

around the corner.

It's just a saying we had.

I'm watching you, Sam.

These pills better work.

Oh, God.

Argh, that ain't right.

Now that...

that is something else.

How you two can even think

about eating anything now

is beyond me.

Well, a very good risotto

is a very rare thing and this...

... makes the heart sing.

Yeah, the chef's a

talented boy.

What, you know who

cooked this?

Yeah, my oldest friend.

What the kid in the coffee

shop round the corner?

Yeah, my brother Elliot.

Mmm, he's good.

Mm-hmm.

You know Elliot and I...

we always had

this dream that we'd set up

a restaurant together.

You know, simple Italian

but just getting

the basics to be brilliant.

He's always

wanted to be a chef

and I've always been interested

in the business side.

That's why I started

working at the hotel.

Get some experience, see

what works and what doesn't.

Oh, yeah, that's, that's

something isn't it?

That is delicious.

When we were at school, I

mean Elliot got this

obsession with cooking.

I mean, it gave the

bullies some ammunition

but he just loved to cook.

Elliot just understands

the chemistry.

You know, how to put

things together.

Doesn't he just.

It's about getting the

whole thing right, the concept,

simple daily menu with

seasonal ingredients.

It's about getting the

pricing right, location right.

About giving Elliot the best

possible chance

to make his dreams come true.

Your dream too Sam.

It's all about the

detail Charlie.

Isn't it just?

You've done a lot of work on

your mate's dream, haven't you?

This Elliot is he a Camden boy, too?

Yep, born two days after

me, two floors below me.

Ah, ha-ha.

Hot bed of talent, eh, Mary?

When I was--

when I was 12,

my mum, she couldn't

cope so she--

she left

me with Elliot's mum.

And she sort of became

my mum.

I'm no doctor but I'll try

and clean this up a bit.

Can I ask you where she

went Sam?

Ah yeah, Australia.

And have you heard from

her since?

No.

Let me see.

Oh, thank you.

You know Sam...

I reckon we're more alike

than you'd like to think.

Yeah, well I wish I was a

little more successful...

like you.

In time.

I think he's got a good heart,

don't you, Mary?

I don't know.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

You know Mary...

You've always been there

for me.

You're a wonderful girl.

I'm gonna miss you very

much when you go.

I never tried to stop you

because otherwise I,

an old man just... getting

in your way.

Charlie.

You should, er, you should

ask Mary out you know, Sam.

Really?

Yeah, get to know her a

little, before she takes off.

No.

Okay.

I get the picture.

I'm gonna stretch my legs.

What's up with you?

I know you're part of all this.

What?

I heard you, Sam.

You know Clegg, Clegg

knows you.

Shh... Alright, please

be quiet.

Of course I don't know him.

Well, then why would he

say that he did know you?

And why would he try to

let you go

when they first got in here?

They've put you in here as

plant haven't they?

So if they get arrested

the jewels get out anyway.

It's very clever.

Look you're gonna get

us killed.

He said to me he knows me
