07:31I'll see you back here.
07:33In an hour.
07:34That's it.
07:40Oh, the nine-pound hammer, it's a little too heavy, maybe for my son, honey, for my son.
07:49So roll on, buddy.
07:51So roll on, buddy.
07:51Don't you know so slow?
07:53How can I roll when the wheels don't roll?
08:21Michael, what the hell?
08:27What the heck?
08:34What are you doing?
08:36Tip box. Customer wanted one.
08:39Michael, what's wrong with you?
08:41This is not... We don't...
08:44We don't sell something. We don't think...
08:46Oh, here she comes.
08:48Hello, madam.
08:49There you go.
08:50Oh, that's lovely. Thank you.
08:53Hello, Gordon.
08:54Hello, Mrs Stewart.
08:55How's your mum? Is she all right?
08:57She's well, thank you, Mrs Stewart.
08:59How much is this?
09:06Um, it's on us, Mrs Stewart, with our compliments.
09:10Thanks.
09:11Give my love to your mum.
09:13Bye, love.
09:22Why didn't we come back to work yesterday?
09:24We?
09:24You.
09:25You said, don't bother coming back?
09:26As a threat?
09:28As in, if you leave, don't bother coming back because you're fired.
09:32An employer is not allowed to refuse an employee reasonable time off in order to deal with an unexpected event
09:39involving a dependent.
09:41Well...
09:41Because that would be unfair dismissal, and you would be guilty of unfair dismissal, and I would take you to
09:47court for unfair dismissal.
09:49Get this cleaned up.
10:13Get this cleaned up.
10:25All right?
10:27Yeah.
10:30Hey, listen to this.
10:31My dad got this letter from his friend in Canada.
10:33Right.
10:35Dear Brian, thank you for your last letter.
10:37All's well here across the pond, although the winter's still... goes on a bit.
10:44And then, how's your boy Michael?
10:48I'm always interested to hear what he's up to.
10:51Is he well?
10:52Did he ever find a new partner and settle down?
10:55Is he happy these days?
10:56I hope so.
10:58Blah, blah, blah.
11:00Your dear friend, Vic.
11:03So?
11:04Well, number one, I don't think I've ever met the bloke, so I don't know why he's so interested in
11:07what I'm up to.
11:08He's just being friendly.
11:10And number two, he died over a decade ago.
11:14Died?
11:15Passed away, dead, in 2009.
11:18And how old's the letter?
11:20Written two weeks ago.
11:25Canada?
11:26Yeah.
11:29And you're sure he's dead?
11:31I've seen the order of service from the funeral.
11:34I googled him, found his obituary.
11:36He's dead, all right.
11:37Weird.
11:39Can ghosts write letters?
11:40I know they can't lick stamps.
11:51All right, Michael?
11:53Hello, Brigham.
11:55Casey?
11:56Brigham.
11:58He was slagging you off yesterday, Gordon.
12:00Oh, yeah.
12:01When you didn't come back to work.
12:02Said he was gonna fire you.
12:03Yeah?
12:04Not that bothered.
12:07Not that bothered about getting fired?
12:09Not really.
12:10If I'm honest.
12:14Don't...
12:15You don't wanna...
12:19Are you okay?
12:22You're so fired, mate.
12:24Why not?
12:27Is he gonna make me laugh?
12:29Should've come to work on a long bike.
12:36Shit without you here, mate.
12:41Right.
12:42Erm...
12:43Cheers, Brigham.
12:45Whatever.
12:45Not that hard.
12:50How's he done?
12:55No, he's like, can you tell me?
13:04No, he's like, can I go?
13:05I got a badcloth.
13:05It's good.
13:06It's good.
13:12It didn't come.
13:12I was probably the last thing to ask a friend of my dad.
13:26Hello?
13:27It's Roy. Can you speak?
13:28Not really.
13:30I need to come over to the house with a surveyor.
13:34Why? When?
13:36You know why.
13:37When?
13:39When's convenient?
13:40None. No time.
13:41Okay, well, I'm going to come now.
13:42You can't. Look, it's not.
14:00Hey.
14:01How you doing, Michael?
14:04Yeah, not bad.
14:05I was just wondering if you had an update on the hedge situation.
14:09Yeah. No. I'm sorry.
14:11I don't know.
14:13Well, I think the chaffinches might be gone by now, so...
14:17You had a bird book the other day?
14:20Yeah, the chaffinches.
14:21Where did you get it from?
14:24The book?
14:24Yes.
14:27I think it was my dad's.
14:29My dad's?
14:30No, my dad's.
14:31Did you go and see my dad?
14:34Your dad?
14:34Yes.
14:35At the nursing home.
14:38Your dad?
14:39And ask him for a bird book.
14:41You what?
14:42Sorry, I don't think I understand this conversation.
14:44Yes.
14:45It's confusing.
14:56Old enough
15:01You are old enough
15:08To know the way this is going
15:23Walk me home
15:27The long way home
15:33And go away
15:39You're not going
15:44You're not going
15:47You're not going
15:48I am looking dead
15:50In the evening
15:53The hour of the dirt
15:56In the morning
15:59And the morning cry
16:03It is broke
16:06Or it's death
16:08Oh no
16:37Hello, Michael
16:37I'm sorry
16:38I'm not doing this to be a shit
16:39But, um, I'm desperate, mate
16:42I'm bankrupt
16:44It's been a long time coming
16:45And, uh, this house
16:47It belongs to me
16:48Sorry, who's that?
16:50She's a surveyor
16:51I just wanted her to come
16:53And have a look around
16:53So we can figure out
16:54What needs to be done
16:56Before people can start
16:57Viewing the property
17:01Nice to meet you, Michael
17:04So, can we, um
17:06Can we come in, please?
17:07Well, I've set some chairs
17:08Up in the garden, actually
17:09We've come to see the house, mate
17:11Not the garden
17:11Well, you need to give me more time
17:12To tidy up and stuff
17:14Hey, I need some more time
17:16To tidy up, Roy
17:17Jesus Christ
17:18What is all this shit?
17:20What, you stop piling?
17:21It's this way
17:22Come through
17:28Come through
17:28It's this way
17:38Oh, my God
17:39Look at this
17:42It's Christmas, 1979
17:44It's me, Mum
17:46Clear
17:47Yeah, would you like to come through?
17:48The Action Man helicopter
17:51Mum thought it came with an Action Man
17:55But it didn't
18:00But it didn't
18:01I never did get an Action Man
18:05It's this way
18:11What's that?
18:13Manure
18:14Stinks
18:19The house is going on the market
18:21In three weeks' time, Michael
18:22Three weeks?
18:23Sorry, Michael
18:24You've got no choice
18:26It's going to happen
18:28I'm sorry
18:28I thought you were a surveyor
18:30Solicitor
18:30You said that she was a surveyor
18:33Did I?
18:33I meant solicitor
18:36Well, I'll need to talk to my solicitor
18:38You don't have a solicitor
18:39Then I shall get a solicitor
18:41You should get one
18:42I'm going to get a solicitor
18:43It would be much easier
18:45If I had a lawyer to deal with
18:47Easier?
18:48For who?
18:49For everyone, Michael
18:50Christ
18:50Do not make this more difficult
18:52Than it needs to be, please
18:54And the house
18:55Obviously needs to be cleared
18:58What's in the boxes?
18:59I don't know
19:00What do you mean, you don't know?
19:01I mean, I don't know
19:02I don't know what's in the boxes
19:03They're not mine
19:04Well, whose are they then?
19:05They're your sisters
19:07They're Clears
19:10It's stock that she left behind
19:12In lock-ups when she went
19:14Second-hand books, I think, mainly
19:18Right, well, we can help you
19:20To get rid of them
19:22Oh, get rid of them
19:23To figure out what to do with them
19:38So what else do you need to know?
19:41So much, mate
19:44So much
19:53Hiya, it's me
19:55Do you want to come round?
19:58It's time
20:12I think we should probably wear these two
20:14Just to be on the safe side
20:15No, mate
20:16Look, whatever's supposed to have happened to them
20:17In their little shit pit
20:19Has either happened
20:19Or it hasn't, right?
20:21Me wearing a Dunelm dressing gown
20:22Isn't going to change anything
20:24Fair enough
20:29Right
20:31I'm going in
20:36Okay
20:42Hello, Casey
20:43Hiya, Bev

20:51Slaving?
20:52No, mate
20:53I'm just helping out
20:54Oh, God
20:55You probably can't say that nowadays
20:57No, you can't
20:59It's a minefield, isn't it?
21:00No, not really
21:01What are you wearing that for?
21:03I don't want to get dirty, do I, Bev?
21:05You want, then

21:07See ya
21:08See you later, Casey
21:11Why do you always do that?
21:13Do what?
21:14Pretend to be nice
21:15What the hell is that supposed to mean?
21:17Well, I know you're going to say something fucking horrible about her now
21:26Oh, I can't find them
21:28What?
21:29They must have sunk into the ground
21:30They should be right here
21:41Casey, I nearly went under

22:20Yeah, I've got it by its neck
22:22Right, give it a gentle pull

23:47Come on
24:11They've grown.
24:14They've reached the stage of whatever.
24:17The state of divination.
24:20I don't know.
24:22How do you find out?
24:24I have to ask him a question.
24:33Go on, then.
24:35I don't know what to ask.
24:36Mate, you told me what you wanted to ask.
24:38Yeah, but we should ask them a test question first.
24:41You know, see if it works.
24:46So what can they answer questions on?
24:47Anything.
24:48The future, the past, anything.
24:53Okay.
24:55Okay, yeah.
24:58We'll use these, yeah?
25:00Pick a card and get it to tell us what it is.
25:02Okay.
25:03Yeah.
25:04How will it tell us?
25:05Mate, I don't know.
25:09Go on, ask it.
25:10Talk to it.
25:15Do you want to play cards?
25:18Yeah?
25:19Cards?
25:20Your Majesty.
25:21Oh, yeah, sorry.
25:23Would you like to play cards, Your Majesty?
25:34What card will I take from the top of the deck?
25:42Whoa.
25:43Oh, my God.
25:44The four of hearts.
25:47Oh, wait.
25:48Shuffle them again.
25:49Why?
25:50He's chosen.
25:50Yeah, but if he's predicting the future, you can shuffle them again.
25:53You can shuffle them as many times as you like.
25:55It won't make a difference.
26:02Once more.
26:13Holy shit.
26:15Okay.
26:16All right, Your Majesty.
26:18Again.
26:24Seven of diamonds?
26:32Well, I guess it worked.
26:35Okay.
26:36Okay, so we know that they can predict the future.
26:39What else can they do?
26:40Can they solve a crime?
26:42Tell you your deepest secret?
26:43I suppose so.
26:44What about someone else's secret?
26:45Yeah, I suppose.
26:47Your Majesty, I would like you to tell me when was the last time Michael cried?
26:52Whoa, whoa, hang on.
26:53Come on, no, you can't do that.
27:04Do you cry at Brokeback Mountain?
27:05Well, I mean, you know, it's a sad film.
27:08Brilliant.
27:09Okay, what else?
27:10What else can we ask?
27:11Are there any sports happening now?
27:13There must be somewhere in the world, right?
27:17Yes, here.
27:19Copenhagen versus Skanderborg, Danish women's handball.
27:23There's like ten minutes left.
27:25Okay, okay, so what do we ask?
27:27Your Majesty, right now, Ajax-Kobernhaven...
27:33It's Ajax.
27:35...are playing Skanderborg at home in Denmark.
27:39Can you tell me, will Copenhagen win?
27:45Okay, so the other team, Skanderborg, are going to win.
27:50And what will the final score be?
27:5631-29.
27:57Okay, what's the score now?

28:01Okay.
28:10A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A
