00:00It's an extraordinary feeling to think of something
00:07over the top of your head that makes people laugh.
00:11It's a gift.
00:20Perfect version of a modern man.
00:22Very attractive, very funny, which I think is very important.
00:25Yes, my mum, Brackets Jackie, loves you.
00:36And the winner is...
00:38Lenny Brain for Glass Houses.
00:55Let's do it.
00:56Let's do it.
00:57I'm just wondering.
00:59Let's do it.
01:01Look.
01:02And I think it's his last time to explore the world.
01:04Would you like to be a part of the world?
01:06The world's spirit.
01:07Please, let's do it.
01:09Let's do it.
01:10Let's do it.
01:12I don't want to go to bed on an argument.
01:41Especially not about something so stupid as this.
01:46Can we just...
01:47What? Sleep?
01:48Yes.
01:49How are we supposed to go to sleep?
01:51Well, this will probably be all over sodding papers tomorrow.
01:53You can sleep fine because you know it's all lies.
01:57Nothing happened. Nothing happened.
02:00Neighbours don't know that, do they?
02:02I've never even met this woman.
02:04I know that. Nobody else does.
02:06Are we going to do this every time there's a bogus allegation?
02:22Girl. Bloody ridiculous.
02:25And the cleaner doesn't know it's a lie.
02:26Oh, if we're worried about what the cleaner thinks of us, maybe we shouldn't employ her to clean the house.
02:31What I'm saying is it's humiliating.
02:33I don't even know who this woman is.
02:35She could be made up, for all I know.
02:37I can still hate it. I can still hate how attritional it is.
02:42This is like being accused of having an affair with a tooth fairy.
02:46It can still make me feel rubbish.
02:48Look, she's crazy, just like the rest of them.
03:02It's just endless crap, years of bullshit.
03:06Every single one of them disappears.
03:08The moment they get a stern letter just pointing out, there's no basis for any of it.
03:12There's no evidence.
03:14Nothing.
03:15Nothing happened.
03:16It's all made up.
03:19But the papers don't go with it, because I'm me.
03:25Look, these sheets, yeah?
03:27They're Egyptian cotton, and they've barely seen our bum cheeks, because we've been in the Maldives.
03:32That's the life we have.
03:33And the price we pay for it is these liars and maniacs.
03:38But why am I telling you this?
03:39You know this.
03:42You're a psychotherapist, for God's sake.
03:46I'm sorry.
03:53Just let them write it.
04:01Let them write whatever they want.
04:03TV funny man shags burrito, or whatever.
04:11There's never been anyone else.
04:15I tell you every day.
04:17I love you.
04:20Yeah.
04:25Past the edges of time.
04:32What was that?
04:32Shall we press the buzzer?
04:44It's in the kitchen.
04:46Well, you might need something.
04:48It could be dangerous.
04:49You might need help.

10:50Right.
10:56Did he give you food?
10:57Would you like a sandwich?
10:58How quickly do you think I can make a sandwich?
11:00Oh, we're cream.
11:01In a sandwich?
11:02Antiseptic for the...
11:03for the cuts.
11:04Please.
11:05You don't have to do anything.
11:06Nonsense.
11:07Let me make you a sandwich.
11:09Okay.
11:10If it's not too much trouble.
11:11What do we have?
11:12You like kimchi?
11:14He's a victim of violence.
11:15He's not a mystery diner.
11:21Just ignore his bad jokes.
11:23I do.
11:24Daily.
11:27Don't slice that too thick.
11:28You'll ruin a sandwich.
11:29Okay.
11:29For a minute we thought you were a crazy fan or something.
11:41Like New York?
11:42Yeah.
11:43He was intense.
11:44Showed up at like one in the morning.
11:47Not like three.
11:48Didn't leave.
11:49Made me sign his arse.
11:50Oh, my God.
12:00You're Lenny Bray.
12:02Oh, I'm sorry.
12:05That's all right.
12:06I'll see.
12:08I didn't realise that you were...
12:10you.
12:11Oh, well.
12:11My head's...
12:12My head's all...
12:15In your defence,
12:16I wasn't this fat 25 years ago.
12:18Um, I like your show.
12:21I mean, I've only seen a few episodes.
12:23You're forgiven on the grounds that you were a child when I made them.
12:27That's true.
12:28I like to be reminded of my own mortality.
12:31I mean, you're probably tired of hearing this all the time,
12:34but they were really funny.
12:36You're joking.
12:37If he doesn't hear it three times a day, he gets IBS.
12:41I like the American version, too.
12:43Because it was funnier.
12:45Yeah, we'll pay for this house.
12:47And your bee venom facials.
13:01Why don't you show him the wall?
13:02Oh, no.
13:03People like it.
13:04It has all his, um, memorabilia and silly trophies.
13:09Come on.
13:11He's had a dreadful evening.
13:13Well, it'd be cool.
13:14I'd like to be reminded of how fantastic I was.
13:19No, no, no, okay.
13:20Just quickly, though.
13:21Oh, wow.
13:44Nice to have.
13:49These are all the people you made that show with?
13:57Finally, last day, I think.
14:01That's amazing.
14:02Good memories.
14:04People really love that show, huh?
14:06I've been lucky.
14:07Lenny, is it true that you wrote that first one by hand?
14:19What?
14:20The script for the first episode.
14:23Yeah.
14:24Your sandwich will be...
14:29Can I get an autograph?
14:31Is that still a thing?
14:32It's like getting smallpox, innit?
14:34Well, I don't have a phone.
14:35People won't believe that I met you otherwise.
14:39Okay.
14:39Can you write me a message?
14:47Sure, yeah.
14:48Who's here?
14:50Ben.
14:53So, sorry you got beaten up on my road, Ben.
14:56They probably latched strong for other figures.
14:58Or, like, I can never forget a day like this.
15:07Or, you know, something.
15:08We could do a photo on Maggie's phone and then send it on and then you can get going.
15:38I found the good cheese.
15:54The cheddar had a full head of hair on it.
15:55Great.
15:56Maybe you can put that in a Tupperware.
16:04He, uh, Ben would like his quick photograph.
16:08And we could send that on.
16:10Right.
16:19Ready?
16:23Oh, that's lovely.
16:25Okay.
16:25Can we get one more for safety?
16:26No, I think we've got it.
16:28I blinked.
16:33Sure.
16:36One, two, three.
16:39Yes.
16:41Perfect.
16:41Can I see it?
16:43Um, sure.
16:44And, um, you can also just put your email in there.
16:47Yeah.
16:48And I'll get you those trainers now, yeah?
16:51So, what are you, a nine or a ten or...?
16:53What if they come back?
16:55Who, the, um...
16:56The people that attacked me.
16:57Well, then we should call the police.
16:58They can't help.
16:59Well, they might.
17:00They can't.
17:00Then we should, um, call the delivery people and see if they can send somebody.
17:06It's an Indian restaurant and they'll be closed by now.
17:12Not pizza?
17:13Hey.
17:14Listen, I'm just going to grab some trainers now and then we can be done.
17:32Okay?
17:32Hey.
17:33And it's been really great to meet you.
17:35And I'd love to talk some more.
17:37But it is late now.
17:39And, you know, I need my funny stick.
17:41Oh, okay.
17:43All right.
17:44Listen, I'm really honoured that you love this show.
17:46Okay?
17:47And really, I mean that.
17:48I really mean that.
17:49It means a lot.
17:51But when people are on TV, you know, sometimes it's easy to forget that they're behind it all.
17:58You know, they're just ordinary and they can get scared.
18:03Yeah?
18:04And I don't want anyone to be scared now.
18:07No!
18:08Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
18:09Okay.
18:09Okay, we can do some more photos, yeah?
18:12You can take some stuff.
18:35Oh, don't you hurt him?
18:37Don't hurt him, please!
18:39I said don't hurt him, please!
18:42Your phone.
18:43What?
18:44Where?
18:46In the bedroom.
18:48You don't need to do this.
18:51Please.
18:52I choose what happens.
18:53Okay, okay.
18:55Please.
18:57Please.
18:58I choose what happens!
18:59Okay.
19:01I choose what happens now.
19:03Okay.
19:03Okay.
19:03Go!
19:04No!
19:06Okay.
19:08No!
19:11Go!
19:12I'm not...
19:12...
19:13Back to...
19:16...
19:16...
19:17...
19:17...
19:18...
19:19Okay.
19:20Go!
19:21...
19:22...
19:22...
19:23...
19:26I don't know.
19:56I don't know.
20:07Get down.
20:16Hey, Ben. Ben.
20:18I know it might not feel like it, but things can still go well.
20:22And maybe you don't believe me, but you should.
20:25You should.
20:28I'm sorry.
20:29No, you're not.
20:30Why would I not be sorry?
20:32Because I just tied you up.
20:34Ben. Ben.
20:35Please talk to me.
20:37Why did you come here?
20:38Hey, hey.
20:48I'm listening.
20:49Okay?
20:49Okay?
20:49No one ever listens to me.
21:00Who doesn't listen to you?
21:03Ben, please talk to me.
21:04No!
21:04Hey.
21:07Hey, I'm just...
21:08I'm just asking a question, okay?
21:10You don't get to ask me questions.
21:11Right, okay, okay.
21:12But let's not rush things here, right?
21:15All my life.
21:19No one's ever listened to me.
21:21I'm listening to you.
21:21I'm listening to you right now.
21:23No.
21:23When I was four, I got my first new family.
21:34When I cried, because I was scared, because I wanted my mum.
21:40Do you know what I did?
21:41They put me in the furthest room.
21:47My mum at the heavy door.
21:52You couldn't hear me from there.
21:54That sounds like an awful experience.
21:56And not one of them cared about a single thing that ever came out of my mouth.
22:01And is that why you're here?
22:04Revenge.
22:05You want revenge on the world somehow, because if that is, then I totally understand.
22:09The world hasn't been that nice to you, but do you think this is going to help hurting us?
22:17Is that who you think I am?
22:20I think we could all be pushed to revenge if somebody hurts us, but...
22:24The question is, can we stop ourselves?
22:27Shall we stop ourselves?
22:35Where's the script?
22:36What?
22:37The script.
22:37The first one.
22:38The first one that you wrote.
22:40Is that...
22:41Is that what this is about?
22:43Is that what you want?
22:46What, you want a memento?
22:48Like a fucking souvenir?
22:49Lenny.
22:50You break my house.
22:51You bust my ribs.
22:53You scare my wife.
22:53Lenny.
22:54For that?
22:55What, so you could show it off so it'd be like a fan?
22:58Lenny.
22:58Where is the fucking script?
23:00I'm listening to you.
23:02I'm listening to you right now.
23:03No, it's in the safe.
23:05It's in the safe.
23:06In the office.
23:08It's...
23:09It's...
23:102-0...
23:112-3...
23:132-3-0-4-8-1.
23:17Just take it.
23:18Take it.
23:19Take whatever you want and go.
23:22Shut up.
23:23Oh, no.
23:37Oh.
23:41Oh.
23:42Oh.
23:45You stay here.
23:46Maggie.
23:47What?
23:47I'm going to go press the button.
23:48Maggie! Maggie, what if he comes back for me?
23:54I'm going to get us out.
24:17I'm going to get you out.
24:47I'm going to get you out.
25:17I'm going to get you out.
25:47I don't know.
26:17I don't know.
26:47I don't know.
27:17I don't know.
27:47I don't know.
28:17I don't know.
28:47I don't know.
28:49I don't know.
28:51I've just pressed the alarm and the police are coming.
28:54They are on their way right now.
28:56No one's coming.
29:08No one's coming.
29:10No one's coming.
29:15It's okay.
29:22It's okay.
29:26It's okay.
29:27No one's coming.
29:36No one's coming.
29:39No one's coming.
29:40No one's coming.
29:53I'm sorry.
30:23No, you've got what you want. Just leave us alone, please.
30:30I'm used to people wanting me to go away.
30:32Oh, I can't think why.
30:35By the time I was 18, I'd had so many names, I didn't know who I was anymore.
30:43Must have knocked on a hundred doors asking to see my case files, trying to find out.
30:48They said they lost them, and they were burnt in a fire.
30:55I'm sorry that happened to you.
31:00The system contorts to protect itself.
31:03I said get out!
31:11Must have worked with a lot of people on that show.
31:14Yeah.
31:16Hundreds.
31:19Cast.
31:21Crew.
31:22Takes a lot of hands on deck to make something like that.
31:25Well, because of something you made up.
31:28That's a big responsibility.
31:31Nature of the beast.
31:33Nature of the beast.
31:37Tell me you're not one of those internet tossbots who didn't like the ending.
31:44You want me to rewrite it?
31:46Like fucking misery.
31:47Is that what this is about?
31:52They're not commodities, are they?
31:54What?
31:55These people.
31:56You might get out, move onto the next thing, walk away.
31:59But if you used that, they'd get hurt.
32:03I don't know what this is about.
32:04You want me to confess to, what, being a prick?
32:09Being a showbiz prick?
32:11Someone who was nasty to your favourite characters?
32:14You want to cancel me?
32:17Okay, right.
32:18You're right.
32:19Throw a canapé into a room full of people I work with,
32:23you're probably going to hit someone I was a wanker to.
32:26You know, actors, directors, producers.
32:30Everything you've heard is probably true.
32:35Is that what you want to hear?
32:37A rich man regrets things.
32:41Well, if it makes you happy, yeah, why not?
32:44I regret it.
32:45But I was just trying to make something good, you know?
32:47And maybe you're here because I did.
32:53I got my case files in the end.
33:07A lot of the pages were black.
33:08There was so much stuff redacted.
33:10But I did get a picture of my mum.
33:12Only one I've got.
33:16And...
33:19It was this.
33:20When she wrote this, I could barely write my own name.
33:29Do you remember her?
33:30I don't know what you're talking about.
33:33Production assistant.
33:35First series.
33:36Make coffee, probably fetch lunch.
33:38You said yourself.
33:39I work with a lot of people.
33:42I think.
33:43You remember my mother?
33:45What?
33:46Untie me, and we can go through my contacts.
33:49How about that?
33:53Her name...
33:56was Nell.
34:06You don't remember her?
34:08Who was that?
34:09Apparently someone who handed me an almond croissant a quarter of a century ago.
34:12Yeah.
34:14She knew you.
34:15A lot of people know me.
34:17Yeah, but she wrote about you.
34:18A lot of people write about me.
34:26One minute he says he loves me.
34:28And the next, he's so terrible, I feel like he'd rather I was dead.
34:32Is this a joke?
34:33I don't even know her.
34:34An hour.
34:35And I know all the reasons why I should live.
34:37But I can't do it anymore.
34:40Leonard.
34:41I swear.
34:42I remember her taking me to your set.
34:45I definitely remember being excited.
34:48Being happy.
34:49How long did it take you to ruin all that?
34:57Because...
34:59She wrote this letter a year after you made that shot.
35:03No, no.
35:04Um, that's impossible.
35:05We were together then.
35:06Leonard, what is this?
35:07It's just another liar wanting something he's not gonna get.
35:10Go on.
35:11Take the script.
35:12You can take whatever you want and get out.
35:15She says you told her to do it.
35:21She says you told her maybe she should end it.
35:23If being with you was making her so sad.
35:27Come on.
35:30Is that what you did?
35:31No.
35:34Did you tell her to do it?
35:35Look, I'm sorry to ruin your sad story.
35:37I don't even remember meeting your mother.
35:39Never mind falling in love with her.
35:45I sometimes wonder if...
35:46I was in the room when she wrote this.
36:03Ben.
36:04I'm so...
36:11So sorry for what happened to you.
36:14I know it's tough.
36:16I sometimes wonder if...
36:18If she meant for me to read this one, Mary.
36:21But you have to understand that...
36:23A lot of people say things about Lenny that just aren't true.
36:27And these lies we just have to deal with.
36:30Even if it's hard.
36:32Maybe that's why she wrote it on the back of this.
36:37Hey, Lenny.
36:39Sorry I had to leave so early.
36:42I just wanted to let you know...
36:45I could never forget a day like this.
36:51Did you write that?
36:53Of course I didn't.
36:54Then why is it in your handwriting?
36:56Is this truly how pathetic and greedy you actually are?
37:01You think you could make me pay you to go away with this horse shit?
37:06I just said you loved her if the opposite was true.
37:09Len-Len-Len-Lenard.
37:10I never said anything of the sort!
37:11I love you past the edges of time.
37:12I love you past the edges of time.
37:20I love you past the edges of time.
37:40Did you tell her to do it?
37:41I'll tell you what's not in your case file.
37:56Your mother was a fruitcake.
37:57Yeah?
37:58I just told her to shit or get off the pot if she's so unhappy.
38:05And you know what?
38:07I did her a favour.
38:09Shut up!
38:11I know I did because...
38:13I was there when it happened.
38:14I don't need a fuck for free!
38:37So yes, I do remember your pathetic little mother.
38:40I remember her look in her eyes.
38:48Almost...
38:50It almost looked like a smile.
38:52No!
39:06You choose what happens.
39:07You choose what happens.
39:10You choose what happens.
39:12You choose.
39:14You choose what happens.
39:21It's okay.
39:22It's gonna be okay.
39:37Maggie!
39:39Yeah.
39:41Yeah.
39:43Cut them.
39:44Maggie!
39:46Yeah, yeah.
39:47Cut the ties.
39:49Maggie, what are you doing?
39:52What is it?
40:14I'm telling the police what happened.
40:15What I found when I came out of the shower.
40:23You...
40:26Attacking this young man.
40:30Because he came here to find out the truth about his mother.
40:35And I stopped it.
40:36I was telling the truth about the truth.
40:37I'm telling you!
40:40No!
40:46Maggie!
40:48Shhhhh!
40:49…
40:55Maggie!
40:56Don't.
40:58You know what this will do to me!
40:59Don't... You know what this will do to me.
41:16Shhh.
41:17Thank you for calling 999. What's your emergency?
