Breaking And Entering Page #3

Synopsis: A mother and her daughter, a mother and her son, and a man living with one and attracted to the other. Miro, a teen from Sarajevo, lives near King's Cross with his mother; he's nimble, able to run across roofs, so his uncle hires him to break into office skylights, so the uncle can boost computers. Twice they steal from Will's architectural firm, so Will stakes it out at night. He follows Miro home and returns the next day and meets Miro's mother, Amira. At home, Will's relationship with Liv is strained - he feels outside Liv and her daughter Bea's circle. The stakeout and Amira's vulnerability are attractive alternatives to being at home. The police, too, watch Miro.

Matter of fact, she punctured

my eardrum at one point,

but you knew where you were.

Simple, we're all simple.

What about you, Sonny Jim?

What have you been up to while

you've not been at school?

Back thieving,

stealing again? Hmm?

See, things are not things.

Things are always somebody's things.

Car is Jack's car,

'cause he worked for it.

Your Prada jacket is little

Kevin's Prada jacket,

before it was his... I can see

your little brain ticking over.

His Prada jacket belonged to Mr. Prada.

What about before that?

Before what?

Before it was Mr. Prada's?

Did it belong to the women who made it?

'Cause my mom does that...

makes clothes for other people,

slaves for other people.

Or like when prisoners make trains.

Next time you're going down.

We'll catch you,

and then you can discuss who owns the trains

with your cell mates.

Back in a minute.

Sorry I'm late again,

but everything is here.

- All the Macs. Everything

- It's okay.

- Excellent. Thank you.

- Thank you.

Excuse me.

You dropped this.

Oh, thanks, Erika.

Oh, please, come up, Erika.

It is Erika, isn't it?

- Yes, sir.

- Sandy.

We set the alarm, sir.

I did it myself.

You have my word.

I'm not accusing you.

The police have already called my mobile phone,

asking me questions.

Yeah, that is normal.

About this thing and then that thing.

I'm so sorry.

It was like Kafka.

'Where did you get your car?'

'Why are you ordering takeaway?'

You know, we try to do a good job.

You-you do, you do do a very good job.

Erika, listen.

We have to have a new code for the alarm.

Now, we're going to give you your own code,

You're going to choose it,

not us,

so there's absolutely no way

of you being wrongly accused of anything.

- Is that a deal?

- Okay, thanks.

Oh, listen.

I had your picture on my computer.

What would the burglar make of that?

My photograph?

Yeah. Well, from when I was,

um, trying my camera out,

if you remember.

So, the burglar, someone

who didn't know the context,

would think you were a friend or a girlfriend.

I mean, someone standing over

there who couldn't hear us,

what would he make of this?

Well, apart from my uniform.

Of course apart from the uniform, yeah.

But say, if we were too far away

to see the uniform.

You know? And I could give you

this book, and you know,

for all matey-boy over there

knows, that's a collected works

of Franz Kafka,

that's your birthday...

- Or the Bible.

- Or the Bible.

Uh...

The model hasn't changed.

Of course I know.

Because we'd have to plant...

Why isn't she moving?

You can't take a fish out of the water.

I have 50 e-mails.

- Why isn't she moving?

- She's dead.
