Momma.

Momma.

Oh sorry, I...

Beg your pardon.

What?

No' nice thing you do.

Where are we, but?

Where... are... we?

What'd she f***ing say, man, eh?

Speak our English.

You got a f***ing problem, man?

Sorry... please...

See, if I was in your country,

for whatever reason,

I'd respect us locals a wee bit better.

Sorry, please... I no understand...

Learn the f***ing lingo and get

out the f***ing road when I tell ya to!

Your material?

He's not working?

Mum.

Just leave it here?

I'll be right down.

Don't let it stick.

Kas.

Assalam-alaikum.

Walaikum-assalam.

Hungry?

Call me when it's ready, eh?

Wanna catch up with mum.

Yeah, okay.

At work.

You know how it is.

When did you start?

Option a, Andres iniesta.

- A.

- Option b, David villa.

A, the answer.

Help yourselves.

Going to the toilet.

Adel not know kasim was coming tonight?

Why, what are we doing?

I can't control you any more.

Your father gone...

Life's hard enough for me.

It's hard for all of us, mum.

When a child brings more pain than joy,

what's left?

Is this child me?

I'm sorry.

For what?

You made us do this!

You made us f***ing do this!

F*** you!

She's dead?

Adel, be strong, son.

Upstairs, bring down the trunk.

It's been emptied.

I remember the first words...

I remember the first words

you ever said to me.

So.

Finally got myself some competition.

Got more than you

bargained for, huh?

Got lucky.

Plus, the way you snore is well classy.

I do not.

I'm not gonna marry her.

Wouldn't be fair to anyone.

You're engaged.

Yeah, when we were three.

She's got her life there.

I've got mine here.

She's probably lying in bed with

some guy in lahore right now,

having the same conversation.

I doubt that.

It's crazy...

Families cutting these deals

before their kids can even speak.

What are we going to do?

What we want.

Not what they want.

Two big zaks with cheese,

double portion hot-wings, large fries,

garlic bread,

and a bottle of diet cola.

You didn't come for no burger?

Is it halal?

I just deliver the sh*t.

What's up?

You gonna do it?

You got money?

- Some.

- Has he?

Enough.

He's got a car.

It's not like we've got a choice.

You always got a choice.

It's about making the right or wrong one.

Two people love each other,

why can't people be happy for them?

- He's punjabi, Mona.

- He's Muslim, adel.

Yeah, but that ain't how it works.

Somebody show me

where this is written?

Sh*t ain't scribed in

stone, it's the way it is.

And, you know it.

Well, I don't need to buy it.

Do you?

What I do or don't buy counts for sh*t.

Always has.

You were dad's favourite, kasim's, mum's.

Who cares what I think?

I care, adel.

I care about you.

And, it don't matter what you think.

Mum and kasim care about you, too.

What you do with your life...

We're your blood. What do you expect?

If dad was around,

things wouldn't be like this.

If dad was around,

you wouldn't be pulling this sh*t.

We're going tomorrow night.

We've got to.

Adel...

I just wanna know you're

gonna be all right.

I'll be all right.

I'm gonna get your room!

Assalam-alaikum.

Wafaikum-assafam

sorry, babe.

Got caught in traffic.

You got the car, then?

Yeah, got it for tonight.

My dad needs it, okay.

Do we need it?

Where's your suitcase?

Why weren't you answering my calls?

Enjoy.

Tan...

There's word if we go through with this,

people might get hurt.

This isn't about my brother, is it?

Your brother? No. Not about your brother.

I'm talking on my side.

You broke off the engagement?

- Her family... it's them?

- Don't matter who.

We got to take it seriously.

I mean, this could be life or death.

We don't know.

So let's go! Get out of here.

We don't leave. Not tonight.

But, you still want to?

Right now...

Let's just slow things right down.

Do what we need to take

the sting out of this.

We won't see each other any more?

Babes, let's not make

this any more difficult.

- We stand together, yeah?

- Without being together?

Look, if you want to marry your

little virgin, just bloody say so!

Hey, I swear, I ain't marrying no one.

I'm just trying to see the bigger picture.

Yeah?

For our future's sake.

I need to go to the toilet.

Leave your bag here?

Stuff I need inside.

Baby, do you need

help with that?

Adel?

Salaam, sister.

Checking up. You gone?

Mona?

He with you? You driving or what?

You gone or what?

He hasn't got a car.

Where are you heading?

It's over.

I'll deal with that punjabi f*** later.

I can't go home, now.

Mona, listen to me.

If you can hear me.

You said you cared about what I think.

If you split now, I'm copping serious sh*t.

You know that.

So, if this ain't happening, come home.

For me.

I love you, adel.

I like you.

You no like me, my people.

I like you.

To me, skin colour, nothing...

No important.

We all have habits, yes,

each culture, but...

We all different.

Each... individual.

Maybe, you don't like something I do.

I no like something you do.

What we can do?

If whole world same,

life become boring, no?

Devil no after your skin.

He want what's inside.

There is the man.

And you... are right man.

I can see.

Doing good job for your people.

Good job for my people.

Keep everyone happy.

They tell me at mosque, you right man.

But, I need to see my own eyes.

You right kind of guy?

Keep cool...

Do job...

Business is business?

So we do business.

You have your own woman?

Gonna need details.

N.I. Number, d.O.B.

She got a passport?

No. Definitely not.

Good, neither have I.

'Bout medical problems?

She's mad.

Is she on medication?

Kasimi no.

She been sectioned?

- Who says she's mad?

- She's crazy girl.

'Bout police?

She no go near police.

She won't have gone far.

Just bring her back.

We worry for her.

She no understand what she doing.

She too young.

Maybe she doesn't wanna come home.

It's possible, yes. Might be.

What kind of person who no even

want to see their own mother?

What use this person for living?

You understand?

If girl no want to come home,

what guarantee you can give me?

I'll find her first.

Deal now.

You right man, yes or no?

I go ask police, they find free.

No cost me 8,000.

What guarantee you give?

Less of you, the better,

as far as I'm concerned.

I like you.

But you bring me proof.

Where'd you get the ink, mate?

Shop job.

I ain't been inside or nothin', no, man.

D'you earn it?

Are you for real?

I ain't killed no coloured or nothin'.

No, man.

Get yourself one of these, put it right.

'Cause if you haven't earned it,

get it f***ing removed.

Jameelah was 19 years old,

and she'd lived in this area

of southall her entire life.

Her friends say

she'd been happy and outgoing.

But, within recent months,

she'd begun to keep to herself.

Now, neighbours don't report hearing

any kind of disturbances from the house

until the night of October the 7th.

And this is when several people

reported hearing screams.

Now, this is a very closed community,
