Sathnam!

0:01:330:01:35

-Sathnam!

-Yes?

0:01:350:01:37

Unbelievable, you jammy bastard.

0:01:370:01:40

-Why? What?

-Samuel L Jackson says yes.

0:01:400:01:44

You can see him on the 16th, out in Los Angeles.

0:01:440:01:46

Samuel L Jackson?

0:01:460:01:47

But also, on the 17th,

0:01:470:01:50

Simon Cowell has invited you to the X Factor mansion in the Cotswolds.

0:01:500:01:53

Now, you can't do both, so, what's it to be?

0:01:530:01:55

Mr Cool, or Mr Cowell?

0:01:550:01:58

Aren't you to move in that week?

0:01:580:01:59

Exchanging contracts.

0:01:590:02:01

-Mr Cowell.

-OK.

0:02:010:02:04

You love Samuel L Jackson.

0:02:040:02:06

Yeah, but I'd be gone for a week, and I love someone else more.

0:02:060:02:09

-He's picked the one he thinks most people want to read about.

-Ah!

0:02:110:02:15

He's going home this weekend to tell his parents about us.

0:02:170:02:19

-Oh!

-I know.

0:02:190:02:21

Hello, ladies.

0:02:210:02:23

-Everything all right?

-Hi, Matt.

0:02:230:02:25

You don't think they suspect anything?

0:02:290:02:30

Absolutely nothing.

0:02:300:02:32

TRADITIONAL MUSIC PLAYS

0:02:410:02:43

IN PUNJABI:

0:02:450:02:46

London.

0:02:470:02:48

I'm from London.

0:02:500:02:51

I've just... I'm just out of practice.

0:02:540:02:56

Yeah, I'm from here, from Wolverhampton.

0:03:020:03:04

I can't remember.

0:03:110:03:12

Somewhere near Jalandhar. I think.

0:03:120:03:14

WHISPERS: Dick.

0:03:240:03:25

Mum, Dedi?

0:03:340:03:37

-Sathnam?

-Sathnam! Sathnam.

0:03:370:03:40

What time is your flight? I've got to get back.

0:03:530:03:55

How many chapatis I give you?

0:04:130:04:15

Three? OK, four.

0:04:170:04:19

I hope you're not buying that comic, Dedi?

0:04:250:04:27

Please tell me someone left it here.

0:04:270:04:30

Someone left it here.

0:04:300:04:31

Mm-hm.

0:04:310:04:32

But you still read it. What time is your flight this evening?

0:04:320:04:37

Flight is...

0:04:370:04:39

Everyone comes for lunch at one.

0:04:390:04:41

MOTHER SPEAKS PUNJABI

0:04:430:04:44

Small snack.

0:04:440:04:46

But I need to be at the airport by three.

0:04:480:04:52

You and Puli can come in our car with us.

0:04:530:04:57

Right. What time is your flight?

0:04:570:05:00

7:20.

0:05:000:05:02

What are you going to do at the airport for four hours?

0:05:020:05:05

We be there, we say goodbye. And your cousin, Hardip,

0:05:050:05:09

is coming this afternoon.

0:05:090:05:10

-Ah, Bins, how are you doing?

-Yeah, I'm all right.

0:05:250:05:28

-Hi.

-Sathnam! How you doing?

0:05:330:05:37

I'm good, thanks. You?

0:05:370:05:39

Couldn't be better, yeah. I took delivery of an M3 this week.

0:05:390:05:43

19-inch alloys, low mileage, heads-up display.

0:05:430:05:46

I heard, yeah.

0:05:460:05:47

Nice. Nice car.

0:05:500:05:51

Oh, superb.

0:05:510:05:53

Well, 180 grand a year before bonuses, you know.

0:05:530:05:56

What are you driving?

0:05:580:05:59

You don't really need a car in London.

0:05:590:06:02

It depends where you live.

0:06:020:06:03

Hi, Puli.

0:06:030:06:05

I'm buying a flat in Dalston, so it's pretty central.

0:06:050:06:08

-Buying a flat?

-How much are you earning?

0:06:090:06:12

Property is my thing.

0:06:120:06:13

London in particular.

0:06:130:06:15

And you earn enough to buy a flat in Dalston on your own?

0:06:150:06:18

Puli.

0:06:190:06:20

Right, a family photo.

0:06:240:06:26

Again?

0:06:260:06:27

If you visited more often, we wouldn't need a photo.

0:06:270:06:30

EVERYONE TALKS AT ONCE

0:06:300:06:35

Ready?

0:06:460:06:47

The proud parents with their offspring.

0:06:470:06:49

Only one single.

0:06:500:06:51

Don't embarrass him.

0:06:510:06:53

The suitcases are in shot.

0:06:560:06:58

Mum, what have you got in here?

0:06:590:07:00

Have you weighed this?

0:07:000:07:01

SHE SPEAKS IN PUNJABI

0:07:010:07:03

Sathnam, back in line, face the front for India!

0:07:030:07:05

-You can come and stand by me.

-I'm fine here, just take the photo.

0:07:060:07:09

-Come on. Smile!

-Cheese!

0:07:090:07:12

-And one again!

-ALL: Cheese!

0:07:120:07:15

PHONE RINGS

0:07:150:07:18

Who is it?

0:07:180:07:19

-OK, yeah.

-Come on, Sat.

-Ready?

0:07:190:07:23

Three, two, one.

0:07:230:07:25

ALL: Cheese.

0:07:250:07:27

And here he goes.

0:07:270:07:28

Hi. Hi.

0:07:290:07:30

It's pretty mad. Mum decided to invite the whole family,

0:07:320:07:36

and now I can't get her on her own to speak to her.

0:07:360:07:38

But I will.

0:07:380:07:39

What about you? What are you doing?

0:07:410:07:42

I'm showing Mum and Dad the flat.

0:07:440:07:45

Oh, nice!

0:07:450:07:47

-Do you think they like it?

-Love it.

0:07:470:07:49

-Especially the garden.

-Ah.

0:07:490:07:51

OK, speak later, yeah?

0:07:550:07:56

Bye.

0:07:580:07:59

So what's the postcode on this flat you're buying?

0:08:190:08:21

E8 or N16?

0:08:210:08:23

I'm not sure. I'll look it up.

0:08:230:08:25

Sorry, I've just got to...

0:08:250:08:27

I think my parents have an excess baggage problem.

0:08:270:08:30

Long haul is 23 kilos.

0:08:300:08:31

Absolutely ridiculous!

0:08:440:08:45

Come on!

0:09:070:09:08

Seriously?

0:09:230:09:24

-DOCTOR'S VOICE:

-This patient, Mr Jagjiti Sanghera,

0:09:430:09:46

suffers from acute paranoid schizophrenia,

0:09:460:09:48

and has been registered as severely mentally ill since 1979.

0:09:480:09:53

Communication is best done through his wife,

0:09:530:09:56

-who also controls his medication.

-Fuck.

0:09:560:09:59

Mr Sanghera is visiting his family in India...

0:09:590:10:02

-Fuck.

-..for a short visit.

0:10:020:10:03

DOCTOR'S VOICE FADES OUT

0:10:030:10:05

Sorry.

0:10:170:10:18

-WHISPERS:

-The door wasn't locked.

0:10:210:10:22

-What's he doing?

-I hope he's not taking everything out.

0:10:220:10:25

Mum's going to go mental.

0:10:250:10:27

-Oh, what are you doing?

-I was weighing the luggage.

0:10:290:10:33

No, no, I found this.

0:10:330:10:34

Yeah, yeah, this goes in with Dedi's medicines.

0:10:340:10:37

Oh, my God, I've taken these out twice already!

0:10:370:10:39

-You know about this?

-Sathnam, Dedi always takes a note

0:10:390:10:41

like this when he travels, it's fine.

0:10:410:10:43

-What do you mean?

-Now, out of here, come on.

0:10:430:10:46

Go and eat. Go downstairs.

0:10:460:10:49

-Look at this.

-Make sure that this goes back in the medicine bag.

-Done.

0:10:490:10:52

Well, what did your brother and sisters say?

0:11:180:11:20

They just act like it's normal.

0:11:200:11:21

You must have spoken to them.

0:11:220:11:24

Yeah, I mean... Not...

0:11:240:11:26

Laura, I'm the youngest.

0:11:260:11:28

They don't always include me in stuff.

0:11:280:11:30

I went to Cambridge, I live here now, they've stayed in Wolves.

0:11:300:11:34

It's like we are in two different worlds.

0:11:340:11:35

They watch Britain's Got Talent for God's sake!

0:11:350:11:38

So do we, sometimes.

0:11:380:11:39

Yeah, I mean...

0:11:410:11:42

I had to come and talk to you about the schizophrenia my dad's had

0:11:430:11:46

since before I was born, because...

0:11:460:11:47

-..I could have it too.

-What do you mean, you could have it too?

0:11:490:11:52

It runs in families, doesn't it?

0:11:520:11:54

In fact, it's practically certain.

0:11:540:11:56

-Come on, Sathnam!

-Oh, don't laugh.

0:11:560:11:59

Don't. I'll show you. I can prove it.

0:11:590:12:01

Where's my phone?

0:12:010:12:02

-I've got it here.

-Darling, come here.

0:12:060:12:08

Come back to mine.

0:12:110:12:12

Come on.

0:12:140:12:15

Come on, let's get home.

0:12:160:12:17

OK, so I've found this site which gives 15 symptoms

0:12:300:12:33

-associated with schizophrenia, tick the ones that apply.

-Mm-hm.

0:12:330:12:37

Now, here's the thing, though. I score more than my dad.

0:12:370:12:40

I get eight dead certs.

0:12:400:12:42

First one up, hypochondria.

0:12:420:12:44

Yeah?

0:12:440:12:46

And I'm a hypochondriac, aren't I?

0:12:460:12:47

Yep. Yeah, that one's for definite.

0:12:470:12:49

Right, next, I'm overly interested in religious things.

0:12:510:12:55

-Since when?

-What do you mean "since"?

0:12:550:12:58

Mum thinks I'm the Messiah.

0:12:580:13:01

She says I'm special in the eyes of God.

0:13:010:13:03

Laura, I had a topknot until I was 14.

0:13:030:13:05

A symbol of devotion.

0:13:050:13:07

And I think you're going to give me the next one.

0:13:070:13:09

I am preoccupied with sex.

0:13:090:13:11

-Aren't we all?

-I am often mistakenly thought to be gay.

0:13:110:13:14

You are not serious?

0:13:140:13:15

-I am a little, yes.

-Sathnam.

-But there's...

0:13:150:13:18

I have been with you long enough to know that you are many things,

0:13:180:13:22

but you are not mentally ill.

0:13:220:13:23

Having said that, what I find interesting

0:13:250:13:29

is how you have managed to make this all about yourself

0:13:290:13:33

when it already is about you.

0:13:330:13:35

I mean, if your dad has had this severe mental illness

0:13:350:13:40

for the whole of your life, have you really never noticed anything?

0:13:400:13:45

I was just told he had diabetes and had to retire.

0:13:470:13:50

From what?

0:13:500:13:52

What was his job? What did he do?

0:13:520:13:54

I don't...I don't know.

0:14:000:14:01

-I don't know.

-You need to talk to someone.

0:14:030:14:05

-Talk to your mum.

-She is...

0:14:070:14:09

-She's away now.

-When she's back.

0:14:090:14:11

Yeah.

0:14:120:14:13

And in the meantime, why not try

0:14:130:14:15

and talk to your brother and your sisters?

0:14:150:14:17

# You've gone away

0:14:410:14:44

# To a place where I can't touch you

0:14:440:14:48

# And I want to fly away

0:14:480:14:52

# And I'll come right up

0:14:520:14:55

# To your front door just to say

0:14:560:15:01

# Hello

0:15:010:15:03

# And I will try and keep my best

0:15:030:15:08

# Face on

0:15:080:15:10

# You've been gone for oh-so long

0:15:150:15:21

# No

0:15:210:15:22

# And I have to tell you that I'm sorry for my frown

0:15:220:15:28

# But things are not the same for me. #

0:15:280:15:31

-Hey.

-Hey.

0:15:310:15:33

You OK?

0:15:330:15:34

-Mm-hm.

-Mm-hm.

0:15:340:15:36

I was just thinking about my dad, you know.

0:15:370:15:40

What you said.

0:15:400:15:42

How can I not have known?

0:15:420:15:43

You know?

0:15:430:15:44

The thing is, with my dad, he's always had...

0:15:450:15:48

..such an easy presence.

0:15:490:15:52

I mean, always.

0:15:520:15:53

You know, the only time I've ever seen him upset...

0:15:540:15:57

..was when my sister Puli got married.

0:15:580:16:01

And everyone cries at weddings, don't they?

0:16:020:16:04

As you'll very soon find out.

0:16:060:16:08

Don't you try and back out now.

0:16:130:16:15

Cos you said yes, you're stuck with me now.

0:16:150:16:17

That was lovely, being asked.

0:16:190:16:21

Good, because as soon as my parents are back from India,

0:16:210:16:25

there's no waiting for the right moment.

0:16:250:16:26

I'm just... I'm just going to say to Mum,

0:16:260:16:28

"We're getting married, and that's it."

0:16:280:16:30

Right.

0:16:300:16:31

Go on.

0:16:360:16:37

This thing with your dad.

0:16:390:16:40

It's a big deal.

0:16:410:16:43

So...

0:16:430:16:44

HE SIGHS

0:16:460:16:47

Give it its due.

0:16:470:16:48

Deal with one thing at a time.

0:16:500:16:51

-And, just a question...

-Mm-hm.

0:16:550:16:58

When you do tell them,

0:16:580:17:00

do you really want to hit them straight off with,

0:17:000:17:02

"We're getting married"?

0:17:020:17:04

Maybe just introduce the idea of me first?

0:17:050:17:09

Yeah?

0:17:100:17:11

Can I just say that that's why you're going to get that promotion?

0:17:190:17:22

-Hm?

-Yeah.

0:17:220:17:24

You just step back and see the bigger picture.

0:17:240:17:26

Thank you for this evening.

0:17:290:17:31

I know it's been difficult. I know I've been difficult...

0:17:310:17:34

..but coming back to talk to you was a really good decision.

0:17:350:17:38

SHE LAUGHS What? What?

0:17:380:17:40

You're the only person I know who can hand out praise

0:17:420:17:45

and pat yourself on the back at the same time!

0:17:450:17:48

Sathnam.

0:18:170:18:18

It's arrived.

0:18:180:18:20

Are you going to come and see?

0:18:200:18:23

I'm going to be in it later.

0:18:230:18:24

Pretty discreet... Hardly even notice it!

0:18:300:18:32

Rosso corsa.

0:18:330:18:35

-What's all the fuss about?

-The Simon Cowell interview.

0:18:360:18:39

God, he's not here, is he?

0:18:390:18:41

No. Apparently, he's a car freak,

0:18:410:18:43

Sathnam plans to drive there in a Ferrari.

0:18:430:18:46

-How vulgar.

-It's fantastic.

0:18:460:18:49

-Hi.

-Hello.

-Oh, hello.

0:19:010:19:02

-How are you?

-Good.

0:19:020:19:04

You're so good, doing this.

0:19:040:19:06

Hey.

0:19:060:19:08

-Sold your flat yet?

-He rents.

0:19:080:19:10

PHONE RINGS

0:19:110:19:13

-Oh, this will be the X Factor office confirming ETA, no doubt.

-Oh!

0:19:130:19:17

Hi, this is Sathnam Sanghera.

0:19:190:19:20

Sathnam, it's Auntie Jugi.

0:19:200:19:22

Your Auntie Jugi. Hiya.

0:19:220:19:24

-Auntie Jugi, hi.

-Can you see us?

0:19:240:19:27

I can see you.

0:19:270:19:28

Yeah. Hang on, Auntie, one sec.

0:19:280:19:30

Yeah...

0:19:370:19:38

There we go. Sorry about that, Auntie. Hi.

0:19:380:19:41

Is that where you live?

0:19:410:19:43

No, no, no, I'm at work.

0:19:430:19:45

I thought I saw a kitchen.

0:19:450:19:47

Yeah, we have a kitchen in the office.

0:19:470:19:50

-How are you?

-Fine, I'm fine.

0:19:500:19:51

I'm just worried about your mum.

0:19:510:19:54

Why, what's happened?

0:19:540:19:56

She is very upset, Sathnam.

0:19:560:19:58

-Very.

-Why?

0:19:580:20:00

Someone told her you're going out with a white girl.

0:20:000:20:04

Someone said you had been seen

0:20:040:20:07

being all deewana with a gori in London.

0:20:070:20:10

I have never seen your mum so upset.

0:20:100:20:13

-Christ!

-Sorry?

0:20:130:20:15

Yeah.

0:20:150:20:17

So... What do you want me to say?

0:20:170:20:19

Cos she asked me to phone, you know.

0:20:190:20:21

Well...

0:20:210:20:22

It's not true, obviously, I'm not with a gori, or anybody.

0:20:260:20:29

I'm not with anyone, Auntie.

0:20:290:20:31

Auntie, I'll call you back, yeah?

0:20:340:20:35

I've got a meeting. Give me ten minutes, I'll get right back to you.

0:20:350:20:38

-Thank you. Laura!

-Just popping round the shop.

0:20:380:20:41

-Laura.

-You just told someone I don't exist.

0:20:500:20:53

-No.

-What do you mean no?

0:20:530:20:55

It was my auntie.

0:20:550:20:56

I was ambushed. I had to say that.

0:20:560:20:59

Otherwise it would spread like wildfire,

0:20:590:21:02

and it can't happen that way.

0:21:020:21:04

It just can't.

0:21:040:21:07

-Those were just words.

-Not to me.

0:21:070:21:09

I said, I've told you, I'm going to tell my mum, and I am.

0:21:090:21:12

When did your parents get back?

0:21:150:21:17

The day before yesterday.

0:21:190:21:20

And you didn't tell me?

0:21:210:21:22

It's delicate. That's all.

0:21:230:21:26

It's about doing it right, yeah?

0:21:260:21:28

I have 54 first cousins, and so far all of them have married...

0:21:290:21:32

-Married a Sikh girl or a Sikh boy, I know this.

-Yeah.

0:21:320:21:35

..and I'm the one who's going to break ranks.

0:21:350:21:38

I'll be the first, Laura, I mean, it's...

0:21:380:21:41

..possible and probable I'll be disowned.

0:21:410:21:43

What, so you'll never tell them about me because...

0:21:430:21:46

..you can't?

0:21:480:21:49

You'll just live two separate lives?

0:21:490:21:51

You're wrong.

0:21:520:21:54

You are so wrong.

0:21:540:21:55

I'm going to drive up and tell them now.

0:21:570:21:59

And I mean right now.

0:22:010:22:03

Enough is enough.

0:22:030:22:04

DOOR OPENS, CLOSES

0:22:590:23:00

0:23:050:23:06

Thank you.

0:23:100:23:11

And now you've come to see me, so...

She looks like Cheryl Cole!

0:23:320:23:34

So pretty.

0:23:340:23:35

Shall I arrange for it? Yes, huna?

0:23:390:23:43

Yes, yes, you leave it to me. I'll fix it.

0:23:430:23:45

PHONE CONTINUES VIBRATING

0:23:450:23:47

What are you reading about, Dedi?

0:24:160:24:18

What's in the paper? What does it say?

0:24:180:24:20

I'm reading about America.

0:24:210:24:23

I am reading about the Prime Minister of America.

0:24:250:24:29

Isn't it?

0:24:300:24:31

There are two governments.

0:24:320:24:33

One there and one here, and they both work very closely.

0:24:350:24:39

-Don't they?

-You mean the American and British governments?

0:24:400:24:44

Yeah.

0:24:440:24:46

Do you understand the words and letters in English, Dedi?

0:24:520:24:55

Can you actually read any of it?

0:24:550:24:56

That's great. I wish Mum would learn to read English.

0:25:020:25:06

It's important.

0:25:060:25:07

We have a Sathnam alert.

0:25:140:25:17

Sathnam...

Sathnam...

0:25:270:25:29

Sathnam...

0:25:300:25:32

Can I tell you something?

0:25:350:25:36

Yeah, yeah, sure.

0:25:380:25:39

Your mum tells me not to talk about this with you.

0:25:410:25:43

It's fine, I won't say anything.

0:25:450:25:47

When the sun rises...

0:25:490:25:51

..but everything is OK, because...

0:25:550:25:58

..I can raise the sun.

0:25:590:26:00

Yeah.

0:26:030:26:04

I can raise the sun...

0:26:040:26:06

..and I have worked it out myself.

HE CRACKS KNUCKLES

0:26:240:26:26

His outpatient appointment for tomorrow.

0:26:370:26:40

Nothing special, regular checkup.

0:26:420:26:45

No need to come.

0:26:480:26:49

-Would you like to follow me to Dr Dutta's office?

-Yeah.

It's the last door on the left.

-KNOCKING

-Come in.

0:27:440:27:46

Hi. THEY GREET IN PUNJABI

0:27:490:27:51

Mum, mum, just sit down.

0:27:570:27:59

I've not seen you before.

0:28:030:28:05

Your sisters and brother, yes, but not you.

0:28:050:28:07

I live in London.

0:28:070:28:08

I just wanted to know a bit more about my father's condition.

0:28:080:28:12

That's no problem, no problem.

0:28:120:28:14

OK, one for the heart, blood pressure, diabetes.

0:28:230:28:28

These are for his mental health problems,

0:28:280:28:31

your father is on quetiapine and a monthly injection of Modecate.

0:28:310:28:36

Injections?

0:28:360:28:37

Your father is not so reliable when it comes to taking his medicines,

0:28:380:28:41

so it's just a backup to ensure he doesn't deteriorate

0:28:410:28:43

beyond a certain point. Jagjiti?

0:28:430:28:47

And I can make the sun rise and both the countries are friends,

0:29:060:29:10

I know that, thank you very much.

0:29:100:29:12

Are you all right?

0:29:150:29:16

Yeah, yeah.

0:29:180:29:20

I've just never seen him so animated.

0:29:200:29:23

At home, he just, you know,

0:29:230:29:24

reads the newspaper or watches the shopping channel,

0:29:240:29:28

I mean, obsessively.

0:29:280:29:30

He may think it's talking to him or about him,

0:29:300:29:32

but if he's becoming delusional,

0:29:320:29:34

let's nip it in the bud - we'll increase his dose.

0:29:340:29:37

Don't do it on my say-so.

0:29:370:29:38

Please, I've been monitoring him for some time,

0:29:380:29:41

I think it'll be good to increase a little -

0:29:410:29:43

with his agreement, of course.

0:29:430:29:45

Jagjiti?

0:29:450:29:46

You're taking two, huna?

0:29:490:29:50

So, to keep you well, we will keep it the same,

0:29:530:29:55

but we'll just double the dosage.

0:29:550:29:57

Thank you very much. Thank you.

0:30:040:30:06

You should know that your father is only doing as well as he is

0:30:070:30:10

because of your mother. She enables him to remain at home,

0:30:100:30:14

although, and I say this with some pride,

0:30:140:30:17

Indian families cope because the entire family rallies around.

0:30:170:30:20

I promise you, 95 out of 100 people like your father

0:30:200:30:24

would be in a nursing home by now - and a closed unit, at that.

0:30:240:30:27

Try not to worry. Continuity is everything,

0:30:290:30:32

it's change that causes the problems.

0:30:320:30:35

Change can throw him off balance,

0:30:350:30:36

but, well, since we have seen no aggression for many years and...

0:30:360:30:41

What, aggression?

0:30:410:30:42

What do you mean, aggression?

0:30:420:30:44

No, I mean, he's...

0:30:440:30:45

Please, remember what I said. Let us not be at loggerheads.

0:30:450:30:49

Oh, he's used to people arguing.

0:30:490:30:52

But not you with me.

0:30:520:30:53

So.

0:30:550:30:56

-Not to worry.

-Jagjiti?

0:31:000:31:03

Thank you, thank you.

0:31:030:31:05

THEY SPEAK IN PUNJABI

0:31:050:31:08

Yeah, he was admitted to hospital last night.

0:31:160:31:18

-That's terrible.

-Yeah.

0:31:180:31:20

So I just felt I couldn't bring us up now,

0:31:200:31:23

you know, cos the doctor said, at times like this,

0:31:230:31:25

the only reason my dad is not being transferred to a secure unit

0:31:250:31:28

is because his family life is stable.

0:31:280:31:31

-Right.

-I mean, you do see that, don't you?

0:31:330:31:36

Of course I do. Yeah, of course.

0:31:360:31:38

-OK.

-Listen, do you want me to call Greg

0:31:400:31:42

and get the interview rearranged?

0:31:420:31:43

What time does your dad get out of hospital?

0:31:430:31:45

What do you mean out of hos...? Yeah, yeah, you should.

0:31:450:31:49

Oh, my God.

0:31:510:31:54

-You've lied to me.

-Yeah, no, no... Laura, listen...

0:31:540:31:57

-MOTHER:

-Sathnam?

0:32:020:32:03

The editor's called me back to London.

0:32:070:32:09

-Sorry.

-Is it really urgent?

0:32:090:32:12

-Very.

-Important?

0:32:120:32:14

PHONE RINGS

0:32:180:32:20

Sathnam, fuck off.

MOTOR REVS

0:32:280:32:31

She's on her way to Lisbon.

0:32:380:32:39

-For the travel pages.

-Who else is on that piece?

0:32:400:32:42

-Is it Matt on that?

-Sathnam, quick word.

0:32:420:32:45

Laura has asked us to withhold her contact details from you.

0:32:470:32:50

I have no idea what's going on between you two,

0:32:500:32:53

but we're all professionals, all right?

0:32:530:32:55

Matt's out in Lisbon, too, isn't he?

0:32:550:32:56

Matt's over there.

0:32:560:32:58

Sathnam...

0:33:000:33:01

Sathnam, listen, mate, there's lots to concentrate on, yeah?

0:33:010:33:04

You've got your interview with Simon Cowell... Sathnam, Sathnam...

0:33:040:33:08

-Laura, come on.

-Your stuff's down there.

0:33:080:33:11

Changing the locks?

0:33:110:33:12

-Take your stuff and go.

-What about our new flat?

0:33:120:33:15

You love that place, we've just put a deposit down.

0:33:150:33:17

Yeah, you've lost that, too.

0:33:170:33:19

Take your bags and go.

0:33:190:33:21

I don't...I don't want to.

0:33:210:33:22

Laura!

0:33:260:33:28

What? What exactly do you want to say to me, Sathnam?

0:33:320:33:35

Right. Yeah, absolutely nothing.

0:33:380:33:40

-This is, I can't...

-"My dad's illiterate but I went to Cambridge,

0:33:400:33:44

"I got a first."

0:33:440:33:45

Big deal! If it makes you so much better,

0:33:450:33:47

then what are you hiding from?

0:33:470:33:49

Cos that's what you're doing.

0:33:490:33:51

"Let's pretend my dad was never ill

0:33:510:33:53

"and let's keep the peasants up in Wolverhampton

0:33:530:33:56

"while I have another life down here," which, incredibly,

0:33:560:33:59

given you don't know the basic facts about your own family,

0:33:590:34:01

includes a job where you're paid to ask strangers about their lives.

0:34:010:34:05

Brilliant! Also, just imagine your reaction

0:34:050:34:08

if it was me telling you I can't introduce you to my family

0:34:080:34:10

because you're Punjabi.

0:34:100:34:12

It's not the same, that is not the same.

0:34:120:34:13

It's a bit the same, Sathnam!

0:34:130:34:15

Not at all, actually, because Sikhs believe all human beings,

0:34:150:34:17

even though they appear different, are one. We are all one, Laura!

0:34:170:34:20

Then what's the fucking problem?!

0:34:200:34:23

Argh!

0:34:260:34:27

If it makes you so much better than them, what are you hiding from?

0:36:500:36:53

This patient, Mr Jagjiti Sanghera,

0:36:530:36:55

suffers from acute paranoid schizophrenia.

0:36:550:36:57

"Let's pretend my dad was never ill."

0:36:570:36:59

-You know about this?

-These are for his mental health problems.

0:36:590:37:02

"Let's keep the peasants up in Wolverhampton

0:37:020:37:04

"while I have another life down here."

0:37:040:37:05

He may think it's talking to him.

0:37:050:37:07

Well, since we have seen no aggression for many years...

0:37:070:37:09

What do you mean, aggression?

0:37:090:37:11

Given you don't know the basic facts about your own family...

0:37:110:37:13

But everything is OK, because I can raise the sun,

0:37:130:37:16

and I have worked it out myself!

0:37:160:37:19

Have you really never noticed anything?

0:37:330:37:36

Sathnam.

0:38:000:38:02

-Sathnam.

-SATHNAM ANSWERS IN PUNJABI

0:38:020:38:04

Sathnam...

0:38:040:38:05

Dedi?

0:38:150:38:16

Can I ask about when you first came to this country?

0:38:190:38:23

When you first came here, when you were young...

0:38:250:38:27

..you were younger than me, weren't you?

0:38:290:38:31

I used to ride a bike.

0:38:340:38:36

Did you?

0:38:360:38:37

I used to go everywhere on it.

0:38:390:38:42

I went to... I...

0:38:440:38:45

..went everywhere on the bike.

0:38:460:38:48

-"Everywhere..."

-Mum...

0:38:510:38:53

He can't ride a bike.

0:38:530:38:55

I can, I can.

0:38:550:38:57

You didn't have a bike.

0:39:030:39:04

When was that?

0:39:090:39:10

When I first came to this country in...

0:39:100:39:14

-..1986.

-1986!

0:39:150:39:18

It was 1979.

0:39:180:39:21

I rode a bike.

0:39:210:39:22

I was the strongest man in this country.

0:39:230:39:26

And I used to...lift weights.

0:39:270:39:30

Why are you asking him all these questions?

0:39:350:39:37

Week in, week out, I ask strangers about their lives,

0:39:370:39:41

and I don't know the first thing about my own family,

0:39:410:39:45

and it turns out it's your story, Mum,

0:39:450:39:47

yours and Dedi's, yeah?

0:39:470:39:49

How you've coped, that's the story I need to hear.

0:39:490:39:51

I used to ride a bike.

0:39:540:39:55

I mean, I don't even know how old you were when you first met Dedi.

0:40:100:40:13

You know, when your marriage was arranged.

0:40:140:40:16

15, maybe 16.

0:40:250:40:30

And did you know he was ill?

0:40:340:40:36

What did you know?

0:40:430:40:44

Look, I don't want you to start worrying about all this.

0:40:460:40:50

Mum, I worry about what I don't know.

0:40:500:40:53

OK?

0:40:540:40:55

And then, I mean, they, what, showed you a photo?

0:41:230:41:26

-LAUGHS:

-Photo!

0:41:260:41:28

So, you didn't even know what he looked like?

0:41:420:41:44

I told you about a Sikh girl,

0:41:580:42:00

I have a number for her now, she's a doctor.

0:42:000:42:03

-Mum, Mum...

-Doctor!

0:42:030:42:05

Mum, this is about you, not me.

What happened after that?

0:43:230:43:25

Mum, what about afterwards, after the wedding?

0:43:270:43:31

Firstly, we were sent to Southall to live with

0:43:330:43:38

Auntie Sharanjit and Uncle Mohinder.

0:44:460:44:49

In the bakery.

0:44:490:44:50

In the bakery, very good.

0:44:500:44:51

So, who have you interviewed lately, Sathnam?

0:44:510:44:54

Go bring it to the table.

0:44:550:44:58

-Carlos Slim Helu.

-What?

0:44:580:45:00

Sounds like a dish.

0:45:000:45:01

He's the second richest man in the world.

0:45:010:45:03

Oh, I'm doing Simon Cowell tomorrow.

0:45:050:45:08

-Oh.

-Nice.

0:45:080:45:10

Are you sat back at the table, yeah?

0:45:150:45:17

Have you washed your hands?

0:45:170:45:19

Hey, you know what,

0:45:200:45:22

Mum's got our Sathnam on a hot date later.

0:45:220:45:24

-Oh, yeah?

-Yeah.

0:45:240:45:26

Little bro has a date with a doctor.

0:45:260:45:28

-Hey!

-Yeah. Geriatrics doctor.

0:45:280:45:31

What, a geriatric?

0:45:310:45:33

Oh, we hope not!

0:45:330:45:34

LAUGHTER

0:45:340:45:36

She looks like Alesha Dixon.

0:45:390:45:41

Sathnam, I've ironed your jeans.

0:45:440:45:46

-Oi-oi!

-Oh, yes!

0:45:460:45:48

-Nice.

-Yeah, thanks.

MUSIC: Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by Wham!

0:45:520:45:55

-Do you remember this one?

-Yeah!

0:45:570:45:58

Hey, do remember with Michael Jackson's Liberian Girl

0:46:340:46:38

how you thought it was librarian girl?!

0:46:380:46:41

Yeah, yeah, yeah, with that Swahili bit at the beginning!

0:46:410:46:43

# Piya-Mpenziwe... #

0:46:430:46:46

And you thought it was the librarian saying, "Put your pens away!"

0:46:460:46:49

-Oh, yeah!

-Well, at least I didn't think Walsall was the capital

0:46:490:46:52

of Poland and that the Famous Five books are written by Grid Blyton -

0:46:520:46:56

Noddy Goes To Toyland by Grid Blyton.

0:46:560:46:59

-EMBARRASSED:

It's Club Tropicana. You remember.

0:47:090:47:10

Puli, do you remember this?

0:47:200:47:21

Of course she does, it was her favourite. Come on.

0:47:210:47:24

With the girls...

0:47:460:47:47

We haven't seen you this much in ages.

0:47:500:47:52

Hey, it's good. It's nice.

0:47:520:47:54

Steady on.

0:47:540:47:55

I went with Dedi to see his doctor at the clinic the other day.

0:47:560:48:00

-Doctor Dutta?

-Yeah.

-Good man.

-Yeah.

0:48:000:48:03

Why don't we ever talk about Dedi's schizophrenia?

0:48:030:48:06

-SHE SIGHS

-What's there to talk about?

0:48:060:48:08

Well, Doctor Dutta mentioned aggression.

0:48:080:48:11

What are you saying?

0:48:110:48:13

When was the last time you saw Dedi be aggressive?

0:48:130:48:16

Never, never.

0:48:160:48:18

He's the kindest, gentlest man.

0:48:180:48:19

No, I'm not saying he isn't, and he's on medication now.

0:48:190:48:22

He's been on medication since before you were born.

0:48:220:48:24

Why are you bringing this up now?

0:48:240:48:26

Bindi, I didn't know this till two days ago.

0:48:260:48:28

Of course you knew.

0:48:280:48:29

-I-I didn't.

-You knew.

0:48:290:48:31

-I didn't.

-Listen, you're off doing important stuff down in London.

0:48:310:48:35

What's that supposed to mean?

0:48:350:48:37

You're there, we're here, Dedi is Dedi.

0:48:370:48:40

Nothing's new. Why make a big deal when things are OK?

0:48:400:48:43

Look, Dedi's happy, he's got Mum, he takes his medicine,

0:48:430:48:47

it is what it is and always has been.

0:48:470:48:49

And if anything needs doing, we rally round.

0:48:490:48:51

-Mummy, I need the toilet.

-SHE SIGHS

0:48:510:48:53

If you want something to worry about, have kids.

0:48:530:48:56

-Come on, hun, come on.

-Rajah, you're wanted.

0:48:560:48:59

Yeah, coming.

0:48:590:49:01

So, what time are you meeting your geriatric doctor?

0:49:050:49:08

Oh, come on, don't start that again.

0:49:080:49:09

You want to fight, yeah?

0:49:090:49:11

Oh, thank you.

0:49:410:49:43

Hi.

0:49:460:49:47

Just trying to decide what to have.

0:49:530:49:55

Hi.

0:49:570:49:58

-Are you...?

-Hi.

0:49:580:50:00

Kirin, sorry I'm late.

0:50:000:50:02

Sathnam. Yeah, no problem.

0:50:020:50:05

Can I get you a drink? Decaf, triple venti, non-fat, three splendour,

0:50:050:50:08

extra hot, stirred, no foam,

0:50:080:50:09

caramel macchiato with whipped cream and extra caramel.

0:50:090:50:13

I'll just have an Americano, please.

0:50:130:50:15

-Fat milk, thanks.

-Fat milk.

0:50:150:50:17

Hi, yeah, an Americano and a flat white, please.

0:50:230:50:26

-Thanks.

-Here we are.

0:50:330:50:34

My mum ironed them.

0:50:410:50:43

Something my brother very much enjoys.

0:50:430:50:46

These chairs!

0:50:480:50:49

So, do you have siblings?

0:50:530:50:55

Just the one, I'm eldest of two.

0:50:550:50:57

Oh, youngest of four.

0:50:570:50:58

And where did you study medicine?

0:51:000:51:04

At Trinity College, Oxford.

0:51:040:51:05

Cool. English at Cambridge.

0:51:050:51:07

-Ah.

-A first.

0:51:070:51:08

Yeah. And are your parents doctors?

0:51:100:51:13

Uh-uh. My mum's a seamstress.

0:51:130:51:16

No, where?

0:51:160:51:17

-SPNL.

-Oh, my mum worked at GGED.

0:51:170:51:21

-No?

-Yeah, yeah.

0:51:210:51:23

I worked there, too,

0:51:230:51:24

as a kid with my brothers and sisters doing up buttons,

0:51:240:51:28

clipping threads,

0:51:280:51:29

doing 14 hours a day.

0:51:290:51:31

-What?

-Child labour!

0:51:310:51:33

Weekends, every holiday.

0:51:340:51:36

If you ever need anything wrapped in cellophane, just call Sathnam.

0:51:360:51:40

So what does your dad do?

0:51:420:51:44

Mine's a bus driver.

0:51:440:51:45

HE LAUGHS

0:51:450:51:47

Sorry, it's...

0:51:490:51:51

Yeah...

0:51:560:51:58

I mean, mine has a severe mental illness.

0:51:580:52:01

Oh.

0:52:020:52:03

That must be really difficult.

0:52:030:52:05

But you and your siblings help support the family, I mean,

0:52:050:52:09

-that's admirable.

-No, no.

0:52:090:52:11

I mainly use my wages to buy George Michael records, so...

0:52:110:52:15

I'm sure you helped a bit.

0:52:160:52:17

I seem to have convinced myself there was nothing wrong with my dad,

0:52:180:52:22

so no help needed, which is interesting.

0:52:220:52:24

I lie to myself as well as to others...

0:52:240:52:26

..Kirin. I lie all the time, I lie to everyone -

0:52:280:52:30

I lie to my parents, I lie to my girlfriend.

0:52:300:52:33

0:54:330:54:36

Mum, you know what we were talking about the other day?

0:56:180:56:20

The station is that road.

0:56:200:56:22

You've gone wrong, it is back there.

0:56:220:56:24

Yeah, yes, I'm taking you all the way there, Mum,

0:56:240:56:26

I'm taking you to the hospital.

0:56:260:56:28

What? No.

0:56:280:56:29

-Yes.

-What about your interview?

0:56:290:56:32

I'm not due there till two,

0:56:320:56:33

and this is one of the best cars in the world,

0:56:330:56:36

so door-to-door service with style, Mum.

0:56:360:56:39

So if it's OK with you,

0:56:400:56:42

I just thought maybe we could talk some more about those early days.

0:56:420:56:45

-I have to have water!

-Yes, yes, I'll get you some.

0:56:500:56:52

Mum, how did you find out that Dedi, you know...?

0:56:580:57:02

Mum...

0:57:100:57:12

Mum...

0:57:120:57:13

SIREN BLARES

THEY GREET ONE ANOTHER

0:58:050:58:07

Hey, stranger!

0:58:070:58:10

Hello, Sathnam, long time no see.

0:58:100:58:14

How are you? You're looking well.

0:58:140:58:17

And I hear you're on your way to interview Mr X Factor.

0:58:170:58:21

I am, yes.

0:58:210:58:22

You've met everyone. Go now.

0:58:220:58:24

When you come back for your mother, if you want,

0:58:240:58:27

we are happy to talk about Mum and Dad in the early days.

0:58:270:58:31

Well, not happy, but it's no problem.

0:58:310:58:34

Your mum texted and asked.

0:58:340:58:36

You have a very important meeting.

0:58:370:58:39

I'll see you in a bit.

0:58:420:58:43

-JOKINGLY:

-Go back!

0:58:500:58:52

He cancels you just like that?

0:59:090:59:11

How rude. Mind, he does what he wants, doesn't he?

0:59:110:59:15

He's very full to the brim of himself.

0:59:150:59:18

The way he talks to Louis, I don't like him.

0:59:180:59:21

To be honest, Auntie, I'd rather be here talking to you.

0:59:210:59:24

Now, I'm a little concerned about you eating all this...

0:59:240:59:27

Indian food is the best for building strength,

0:59:270:59:30

and we can talk while we eat.

0:59:300:59:32

It's fine, leave her be.

0:59:420:59:44

Er, OK.

0:59:480:59:50

No, no, no.

0:59:500:59:52

PHONE BEEPS

0:59:520:59:54

Um...

0:59:540:59:55

-Popular!

-They're all old ones.

0:59:581:00:01

Auntie, do you mind if I record this?

1:00:011:00:04

Um...

1:00:091:00:10

Mum got as far as telling me about the wedding.

1:00:131:00:15

-Oh, yes.

-Yes, very good.

1:00:151:00:17

So, what happened after that?

1:00:191:00:21

We helped them up and they came home with us.

1:00:241:00:28

So my dad was ill when he first arrived in England.

1:00:581:01:01

Ill?

1:01:011:01:02

No, he was not ill when he came here.

1:01:021:01:04

No, not ill at all.

1:01:041:01:06

He was as strong as an ox.

1:01:061:01:10

He was a star kabaddi player.

1:01:101:01:13

Oh, and what a weightlifter he was.

1:01:131:01:15

He said he did weightlifting.

1:01:151:01:17

Oh, he was really very strong.

1:01:171:01:19

He would eat half a packet of butter with each meal.

1:01:221:01:25

At least half a pack.

1:01:251:01:27

So, Dad was happy when he arrived?

1:01:271:01:29

Yes, very happy.

1:01:291:01:31

Happy, happy.

1:01:311:01:32

He worked hard, played hard and he was like everyone else.

1:01:321:01:37

Never fighting or anything, nothing.

1:01:371:01:39

That's not entirely true.

1:01:411:01:44

Soon after he arrived, he becomes...strange.

1:01:441:01:49

Yes.

1:01:511:01:53

He was different.

1:01:531:01:54

He...he gets upset over nothing.

1:01:541:01:58

Nothing at all.

1:01:581:01:59

And after the wedding...

1:02:001:02:01

..then it's worse, much worse.

1:02:031:02:06

Now, he's in fights all the time.

1:02:441:02:49

Hurting himself, getting sacked from every job,

1:02:491:02:54

and, of course,

1:02:541:02:55

he takes it out on your mother.

1:02:551:02:57

It was...

1:03:011:03:02

..around then that some people started saying he'd gone mad.

1:03:031:03:07

Who said that? We never said that, and we never would.

1:03:071:03:10

-They were right, though, weren't they?

-What do you mean?

1:03:101:03:12

Auntie, something went wrong with his mind, he became ill.

1:03:121:03:15

Yes, well, everything got better when you arrived.

1:03:151:03:18

No, it was nothing to do with me.

1:03:181:03:19

Yes, when you were born, when you arrived, from then he got better.

1:03:191:03:23

You changed everything.

1:03:231:03:25

It was the medicine that made him better, the medication he was on,

1:03:251:03:28

it was nothing to do with me.

1:03:281:03:30

Well, you should also know a lot of people think maybe your mum does

1:03:311:03:35

something. No, I have to say this.

1:03:351:03:38

-Does something?

-Yes.

1:03:381:03:40

My mother, your grandmother,

1:03:401:03:42

she says she has done something to...

1:03:421:03:45

-Like what?

-Like magic, black magic, like a witch.

1:03:451:03:50

We think she cast spells on your father.

1:03:501:03:52

Mum is the only reason my dad survived.

1:03:521:03:55

But why do Indians always need to blame someone?

1:03:561:04:00

It's an illness,

1:04:001:04:02

just an illness.

1:04:021:04:03

This illness you speak of...

1:04:161:04:19

-Schizophrenia.

-Yes.

1:04:191:04:22

It affects young people?

1:04:221:04:24

That's when it often sets in, yes.

1:04:241:04:26

And it runs in the family?

1:04:261:04:28

It can, yes.

1:04:281:04:29

So is that what your sister has?

1:04:301:04:33

Is that what Puli has, too?

1:04:361:04:38

It is, yeah.

1:04:451:04:46

Hi.

1:05:071:05:08

-Yeah, good.

-Never come in!

-Eh, shush!

1:05:111:05:14

-Hello! How are you?

-OK.

1:05:141:05:16

Is Puli in?

1:05:181:05:19

Yes, of course. Puli!

1:05:191:05:21

Can we talk?

1:05:281:05:29

Sorry.

1:05:511:05:53

I find it easier to write things down.

1:05:541:05:55

Here.

1:05:591:06:00

Do you want me to read it?

1:06:021:06:03

"Sathnam's been asking Mum the same questions I asked once.

1:06:061:06:09

"He wants to know what happened.

1:06:121:06:14

"He's like me, very like me.

1:06:151:06:17

"We might have been the same if things were different.

1:06:171:06:19

"I was clever, too, but as soon as I started to get ill, I slowed down.

1:06:211:06:25

"Once I was on medication..."

1:06:251:06:27

No, just the first bit.

1:06:271:06:29

No, it's so true.

1:06:291:06:30

-Yeah.

-I was cleverer than you.

1:06:311:06:33

You are cleverer.

1:06:331:06:35

I've been...

1:06:521:06:53

..very wrapped up in myself.

1:06:551:06:58

In my work, and in my life in London, too wrapped up in...

1:07:011:07:06

And I want to be a better brother.

1:07:091:07:11

Oh, yeah.

1:07:151:07:16

You know how...

1:07:201:07:21

..space capsules separate?

1:07:231:07:26

And are on their own?

1:07:271:07:28

I'm a part.

1:07:341:07:35

I punch below sometimes.

1:07:391:07:41

I can't help thinking my life could have gone a different way.

1:07:431:07:48

-Yeah, it could have.

-And I still try, I'm not lazy,

1:07:481:07:51

I've never stopped having goals.

1:07:511:07:53

Do you know when I knew how ill I was?

1:08:001:08:03

It was when I was first sectioned.

1:08:071:08:09

You looked disgusted.

1:08:171:08:18

Mum says that was the day you went and had your topknot cut off.

1:08:381:08:42

She said that was the day she knew you would leave us.

1:08:441:08:47

Puli...

1:09:161:09:18

SOBS: I'm so... I'm sorry.

1:09:231:09:25

I don't know why, but I need you to know how I feel.

1:09:271:09:30

You more than anyone, I think...

1:09:321:09:34

..because we are almost the same.

1:09:351:09:39

It's like...

1:09:391:09:40

..to be...

1:09:481:09:49

..who I really am...

1:09:501:09:53

..that must...

1:09:591:10:00

..be like flying.

1:10:021:10:03

BEEP

1:11:061:11:08

Why would you ask that?

1:13:031:13:05

Have you? Would you like to tell us...?

1:13:051:13:07

-Just showing off! Go on. Once again...

-Yeah.

1:13:071:13:11

It was actually a female this time.

1:13:111:13:13

-OK.

-Are you serious?

1:13:151:13:16

Certainly serious. Certainly serious.

1:13:171:13:19

Laura...

1:13:211:13:22

-Sathnam.

-I just want to say congratulations.

1:13:241:13:28

I mean, I assume you got that promotion.

1:13:281:13:30

Sathnam, don't let Greg see you.

1:13:301:13:32

-Where's the Ferrari?

-It's outside.

1:13:321:13:34

They've reported it stolen.

1:13:341:13:36

And...you've been sacked.

1:13:361:13:39

Congratulations again, you deserve it.

1:13:421:13:45

Hello. Where you going?

1:14:181:14:21

Sit down. Sit down.

1:14:241:14:26

Press play, and watch the DVD.

1:14:281:14:30

Because I'm asking you to.

1:14:311:14:33

Ready?

1:14:381:14:39

You understand?

1:17:491:17:51

Mum, have you watched it?

1:18:031:18:04

Yes, watched enough.

1:18:061:18:07

No, no...

1:18:071:18:08

-Yes.

-No, watch it all.

1:18:081:18:11

Watch all of it.

1:18:111:18:12

Come on, this is important. I made this for you.

1:18:121:18:15

Sit down.

1:18:151:18:16

And how much...

1:18:171:18:18

..it cost, this translate?

1:18:201:18:22

If you must know, £300.

1:18:221:18:24

Watch it. Watch it.

1:18:271:18:30

He's too funny.

1:18:341:18:36

RAIN AND THUNDER

1:19:361:19:39

You've seen it all now, right?

1:19:521:19:54

Yes.

1:19:551:19:57

So my girlfriend's name was...?

1:19:571:19:58

-Mum, what was her name?

-Laura.

1:20:011:20:03

Thank you.

1:20:041:20:05

But you have now split, huna?

1:20:101:20:12

No. No, no. Mum, Mum, listen...

1:20:211:20:24

Look at me.

1:20:241:20:26

Look at me.

1:20:261:20:27

I love you, Mum. I love you.

1:20:321:20:35

And I loved Laura.

1:20:371:20:38

I still do, I love her.

1:20:391:20:41

We were going to get married and have children.

1:20:441:20:47

But she's gone.

1:20:481:20:49

And she's gone because...

1:20:511:20:52

..I wanted your blessing, Mum.

1:20:541:20:56

I needed your blessing, we both did.

1:20:561:21:00

I just... I just couldn't... I couldn't ask.

1:21:031:21:05

I was too scared.

1:21:051:21:06

You know, I want to have...

1:21:111:21:12

..a joined up life with no fear and no more lies.

1:21:121:21:17

I need you to be part of that.

1:21:171:21:18

Do you understand?

1:21:181:21:19

Yes.

1:21:311:21:33

She's a dentist.

1:21:481:21:50

She's so pretty.

1:21:501:21:51

She looks just like Kylie Minogue.

1:21:531:21:56

Right, I'm off.

1:21:561:21:58

Right, Dedi, I'm going.

1:23:001:23:01

-Hello?

-It's me.

1:23:031:23:04

Laura, hi.

1:23:061:23:08

How's it going?

1:23:091:23:10

Well, I'm...

1:23:141:23:15

I'm up in Wolves. And, erm...

1:23:171:23:19

I just...I just told my mum everything, and it was...

1:23:261:23:29

But I did it.

1:23:351:23:37

I actually did it!

1:23:391:23:40

And, erm...

1:23:421:23:44

I'm sorry I wasn't brave enough sooner.

1:23:441:23:46

Sathnam...

1:23:461:23:47

Sathnam.

1:23:501:23:51

I, erm...

1:24:011:24:02

..found this in the office, and...

1:24:041:24:06

..I saw my name.

1:24:071:24:09

Five times.

1:24:111:24:12

So...eventually guessed.

1:24:141:24:16

But it's...it's all in Punjabi.

1:24:161:24:19

Oh, yeah, I know.

1:24:191:24:22

Put it into Google Translate, which gives the gist.

1:24:221:24:25

Yeah.

1:24:271:24:29

Yeah.

1:24:291:24:30

I as...

1:24:331:24:34

I as good as ran away.

1:24:371:24:39

You know?

1:24:391:24:40

Cut my topknot off and left.

1:24:411:24:43

You were right. I was hiding.

1:24:431:24:46

You're back now, though.

1:24:471:24:48

I told my mum I'd wanted to marry you.

1:24:501:24:52

You know, I also said I wished she'd met you.

1:25:121:25:14

And since you're here...

1:25:161:25:18

You know, maybe...

1:25:181:25:19

Do you fancy it?

1:25:201:25:21

Yeah.

1:25:241:25:25

By the way, I've exchanged on the flat.

1:25:561:25:59

I love you.

1:26:141:26:15

# Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick

1:26:371:26:40

# The one that makes me scream, she said

1:26:401:26:43

# The one that makes me laugh, she said

1:26:431:26:47

# And threw her arms around my neck

1:26:471:26:50

# Show me how you do it

1:26:501:26:52

# I promise you, I promise that I'll run away with you

1:26:521:26:58

# I'll run away with you. #
