A curfew has once again been

reintroduced.

(phone rings)

- Hello?

- (Suu) Mikey.

- Suu, darling! How are you?

- It's so good to hear your voice.

You too. You too.

You managed to dodge the bullets then.

I was beginning to worry.

- Sony, I couldn't get away until now.

- Don't worry.

- And I've been missing you all so much.

- Yes, me too. Of course. (sighs)

- Hello?

- Hello?

- Oh, hello. I can hear you again.

- Are the boys all right?

that their visas have finally come through.

- They will arrive at the end of the week.

- Thank you.

- There is so much to discuss.

- Let's start then.

(street and traffic noises)

(suspenseful instrumental music)

(indistinct chatter)

Leo. So happy to see you.

It is good to have you back.

C'mon, let's go. Please, after you.

(soft instrumental music)

Mum. Mum.

You better be prepared

for complete chaos.
