So Simba had a choice.
He could either tell his friends
what had happened and create confusion,
or keep it a secret and lead all his friends
What do you think he did?
He had to tell the truth.
But hes got to fight Scar, hasnt he?
Telling the truth means giving up.
Would Simba give up?
- Exactly.
Exactly. So...
Simba kept it all a secret.
And he led Pumbaa and Timon
and all his friends,
he led them all in a fight against Scar.
And he vanquished Scar,
and Simba became the new Lion King.
- Yes.
- Yeah.
Bedtime for you,
soldier.
All right, lads, this is it.
This is it, boys.
Ive spoken to the emir.
I have, and...
How did you do that?
Email drop box and the children s
instant messaging site, Party Puffin.
Ive been on that.
- Good, Waj.
- Proper good.
Do we have to be puffins as well?
Yeah, Ill give you all usernames
and passwords after this meeting.
Im not sure I want to be a puffin.
You dont have to be
if you dont want to, Barry.
- Bagsy a blue one, yeah?
- Good, Waj.
Now, Ive spoken to him.
My puffin has communicated with his puffin.
And hes told us to make some bombs.
So were going to take Faisals gear
to the secret flat.
We can hide it under the costumes
in Hassans van.
Well put the bleach on the boil.
We have instructions to bring havoc
to this bullshit, consumerist,
godless, Paki-bashing,
Gordon Ramsay 'Taste the Difference '
speciality cheddar,
torture-endorsing,
massacre-sponsoring,
'Look -at-me-dancing-pissed
with-my-nob-out ', Sky1 Uncovered,
'Who-gives-a-f***
about-dead-Afghanis? ' Disneyland.
- Mashallah!
- Mashallah, brother Omar.
- Mashallah.
- F*** mini Babybels.
Puffin says, 'Find a target. '
Well, we got a target, bro.
Were all agreed.
What is it?
- Its the mosque.
- What?
Bomb the mosque,
radicalise the moderates,
bring it all on.
OK, right. No, I like that.
I do like that, thats brilliant.
Lets take out a bunch of Muslims
because theyre the real enemy.
Once weve done that,
why dont we truck -bomb a kebab shop
and fly a jumbo jet
into Wajs mums head?
Why dont we get a pig
and staple -gun it to our foreheads?
But if we bomb the mosque,
it will make all the Muslims rise up.
My cousin, Faz, died,
defending a mosque in Bosnia.
Did he flipping rise up, bro?
Lets bomb Boots.
They sell condoms
that make you want to bang white girls.
- I second that. Boots.
- Right.
- They nabbed me nicking Lynx display.
- Think bigger than a chemist s.
Im not blowing my guts out over
a bunch of tampons and cotton buds.
What were going to do
has got to last in history,
echo through the ages.
- Like bomb a mosque.
- Barry, were not bombing a mosque.
You dont get it, do you, Omar?
We radicalise the moderates!
The ummah rises up, it all kicks off!
I do get it. Ill tell you what its like.
Its like youre in a fight with someone,
in the face, right?
And so what you go and do is,
you punch yourself in the face.
So what if hes not?
Im having a fight
with this fictionary man,
and hes not punching me hard enough
to make me go mental and win.
Lets do an experiment, Barry.
When you start losing
and youre not doing very well,
you punch yourself in the face,
- Show them all how it works.
Why not? Youre the Muslims.
Youre getting attacked.
Go f***ing mental, Barry.
Show 'em how it works.
- Come on.
- Im not a mosque!
This is not how it works!
Punch yourself, Baz.
Bomb the mosque, Barry!
Bomb it!
Bomb the mosque!
Bomb the mosque, Barry!
Hes bombed the mosque!
Hes just bombed the mosque!
Barry, where are the moderates?
The moderates should be coming now.
Right, if I was a mosque,
which I am not,
then there would be all moderates
behind my nose,
bursting to come out and rise up.
Would there?
Ooh, they are, bro, eh?
Barry, the Sufi Muslim Council s
coming out your nose.
Oh, youve just wiped them out.
Youve just wiped them out.
bomb the mosque, Barry?
- Come back.
- Barry, I got you a J-cloth for the...
- Oooh!
- Barry!
For fucks sake, Barry!
Oi! Oi!
Turn that off.
Theres common areas out there.
We got to play it, Barry.
This is our cover, man. Were a band.
- Were a what?
- Were a band.
Bollocks! Turn it off.
Bro, turn it off.
Whats with the chicken?
Its beard protection from the bleach.
Yeah, hes the drummer, man.
- Chicken drummer.
- Yeah, Barry.
You broke the chickens beak, didnt you?
Remember?
Yeah, Barry, you broke his beak.
Yeah, well, Im sorry,
but beaks get broken in war, dont they?
- Do they?
- Yeah, they do.
Were not about protecting beaks,
Yeah?
Well, go and unload the van.
Im not doing all the work.
Waj! Waj!
Anti-surveillance.
Not you, mate, youre still here.
Get in there.
- What are you doing?
- Just in case theyre taking pictures.
- What?
- Barry says you come out blurry.
Right, stop it!
Stop it!
CCTVs a video.
Youre just gonna look
like a bunch of Sufis on speed.
to do something, dont.
- You all right, Alice? Hows it going.
- All right, Wasim? Yeah.
- Are you good?
- Yeah.
- All right, Jason?
- All right.
Whos this one?
This is... Claude.
Claude, this is Alice.
Shes got the flat next door.
- Hello, Claude.
- Hi.
- Whats this?
- Claudes the new member of our band.
- Band?
- Hes the new member.
- I used to be in a band.
- Did you?
Yeah.
Until all the birds fell off the roof...
I dont know if you remember.
All right, then, Alice,
well see you later. Come on, lads.
Come through.
- Which one are you?
- Er, Claude.
- Claude?
- Yeah.
Are you French?
Yeah.
See you.
Right, Mister Newsman
in the newsroom, after three.
Three, two, one...
Yes, it was us.
We have struck you
We have bombed the mosque.
Only in the days of the final jihad...
What are you doing here?
Well, you told us to come round.
Weve just come through the back.
Anti-surveillance, like you said.
Right, well, Im doing my tape.
But were not bombing the mosque.
- What?
- Were not bombing the mosque.
Look, Im just doing this tape in case
the plans change to bomb the mosque.
If they did change, isnt the whole
point of it to blame it on the kuffar
and not take responsibility for it?
What do you know about it?
It was my idea in the first place, not yours!
Now, f*** off!
Im doing my tape. Go on.
All right, Barry?
- What, youre here as well?
He said he was going to bomb
the mosque.
- Did you say that, Barry?
- No.
- Yeah, you did.
- No, I didn't.
- What did you say, then?
- I said I was gonna bomb something else.
What did you say you were gonna bomb?
Hm?
F*** off!
F*** off out of my house!
Oh, Barry, you moron.
- Salaam, Ahmed.
- Alaykum salaam.
- Omar, its your brother. Come in.
