- It's fine.

You all right? Is Lovely there?

I mean... Hafiz.

F***in' Lovely.

You all right, Lovely?

No one's called me that in time.

I bet.

Some cheeky cigarette, man.

Wait, is that your dad's office?

I hardly recognized it.

You got a f***in' pond.

No, it's a water feature.

Trust me man, women.

I wouldn't know.

I know you wouldn't, man.

Tommy f***in' Akhtar, man.

Come here.

- Sh*t, man, how you been?

- Good. You?

Yeah, all right.

I heard you became a detective.

Finding lost car keys

and missing dogs.

And the rest.

Come, man let's

get a drink. Jesus.

Hey, how's the old man?

Uh, prostate cancer. I moved

back to take care of him.

- F*** man, I'm sorry.

- It's fine. It's slow.

Doctors say something else

will kill him first.

If I stick around much

longer, it'd be me.

Cheers.

I always thought you'd uh, move out.

Pinner, Ruislip, one of them.

Ah, no, no, no. This is our

manor, right? We got to pull it up.

- Yeah, one water feature at a time.

- Yeah, exactly.

About your business partner,

Usman Rana...

He's dead.

What's going on?

I got a case looking

for a Russian hooker.

She was with him.

F***, Tommy.

All right, it's a mess.

It's a big f***ing mess, man.

Usman is my friend.

Well, he was.

- I'm sorry.

- It's all right.

Really, he was a good man.
