[gunshots]

Run!

The bastard's onto us! Run!

- [man] Billy!

- [Amber] What?

[man] I know it's you!

Get the f*** off my land!

[Billy]

Sorry about that.

I'm getting a bit too old for

this sperm-stealing lark.

[Amber laughs]

Demi and I went back

a long way.

To be absolutely frank,

when he first raised the issue,

I considered it a favor

rather than a recommendation,

and your move to London

was a fait accompli.

However...

now that circumstances

have changed,

I was hoping you'd reconsider.

We don't want

to lose you, Amber.

Really?

Thank you.

I'm flattered.

Um, but as you know,

I still have

one more exam to sit.

Oh, a mere formality

from what I hear.

Hearsay.

If it's not proven,

it's not true.

One of the first things

that you taught me, Mr. Quest.

[sewing machine running]

Why doesn't Abu just give

him his share of the land?

It's not like

we're ever going back.

He would rather die.

It would be better to die than

apologize to that bastard.

How can you make me go there

after everything?

When are you going to stop

judging us by British standards?

You should thank Allah

you were 16 and not 12.

Go, put this on.

[man whispering prayers]

[speaks foreign language]

[speaking softly]

[children laugh]

[Pinoo] We're friends!

We're friends again!

Come on, Amber.

Don't you think it's time

we let bygones be bygones?

Oi, Faz.

No one would guess

you are a hafiz, bro.

How come you don't wear

a beard?

It's a shame we spend

so much time

trying to look

like our honorable Prophet...

sallallahu

alayhi wa sallam...

instead of acting like him.

[speaking foreign language]

Well said.

[voice fades] It was worth

coming all the way...

I hate him, Donald.

I hate him.

I think you've got

to forget all about this.

- You're going to London...

- It's not just about me.

The thought of him being

anywhere near my family.

It makes my flesh crawl.

Do you honestly think

that it's gonna make

a blind bit of difference

if you stay in Bradford?

Honestly, do you?

I've got something for you.

Now, this might cheer you up

a little bit.

There's a little bit here,

and I wasn't able to, um...

couldn't quite get that bit.

Thank you, Donald.

Will you keep it safe for me

until I've

actually passed my exams?

So what happened to, "Donald,

I've passed, I've passed"?

I know, I...

I made a promise

to someone.

Oh, aye, okay, well...

I'll keep it for you.

Thank you.

[clucking]

[squawks, laughs]

[squawks]

[urinating]

- Billy!

- Oh.

Sorry.

I was desperate.

Bleach.

Bottom-left cupboard.

Marry me, Amber.

What, with

your filthy habit?

I could change

for the right woman.

[chuckles] Coffee?

At this time?
