Cocaine is found on a boat by two hard-up strangers, Janet and Samuel, who agree to sell it and split the proceeds.

01x03 - Episode 3

Post by bunniefuu »

Oh, hi. Did you miss me?

So, remember when Janet and Samuel

went looking for someone

to buy all the drugs

they found on the boat?

Do you know anyone who would buy it?

Samuel's ex-client Craig

put them in touch with Vinny.

Argh! Ouch!

And in return he asked for

Life rights.

Janet and Samuel came up

with a cover story, cos

There is nothing more powerful

than a good story.

Unfortunately, the guy

buying the drugs was all

What you doing with a business card

belonging to a lawyer called

Samuel Wells?

But then Janet saved the day -

dressed up, all tattooed

and Russian-like.

Everyone needs

a lawyer. He is mine, come, come.

And Vinny had a change of heart

and said

I'll name the time and place.

You bring the product.

Meanwhile Ben found a flyer

this guy, who's name is Guy,

left behind.

And The Tailor met this lady

and called her Madam Bethune?

That's not her name

but she didn't mind cos

This were a bit different.

Getting a bit of French up in me.

She even gave him a clue

about who took the drugs.

We're looking for a Pomeranian.

What's that, like, an Italian fella?

No, it's a dog!

Oh. You got all that? Oh,

and those life rights I mentioned?

Turns out, months later,

Samuel's ex-client turned this

whole thing into a play.

Insomnia! ♪

And not a very good one.

Tres bien.

This chapter of our story

starts way back when,

in a different country

and a different time,

a different language

and even a different colour,

but it doesn't stop making it a

Even bad guys fall in love.

And why the hell not?

Cos it feels like some days

the world has a little magic in it.

Right, we're nearly there.

Oh, sh*t. What? f*ck.

Me tattoo's rubbed off, look.

I can't go out like this.

Just stay in the car, then.

Sorry.

We should clear this up. Yeah.

Unless we don't!

Moment's passed, Janet. Yeah.

Can't talk now, Mummy.

But it's Martin Luther King Day.

We don't celebrate

Martin Luther King Day. Why not?

Well, we're not black, for a start.

You don't have to be black

to celebrate it.

You just have to have

an innate sense of justice.

I could close up the shop

if you fancied coming back

and celebrating with me. I'm on

a stakeout. What? A stakeout!

'Scuse me, you got any more

king prawn and black bean?

Buffet's closing.

Full price menu from now.

So I was cleaning up

the station, right?

And I find this flyer

for a Chinese restaurant

and someone's scribbled

a map on the back,

marking out where

the evidence room is.

That's what they were looking

for, the shooters.

Hang on, if you're on a stakeout

in a Chinese restaurant right now,

should you be saying this stuff?

It's fine, it's empty.

Anyroad, there was

blood all over the flyer.

And here's the kicker - there was

a 20% off voucher on the bottom,

and it's missing. OK

The blood looked like it would've

gone on the bit that were torn off.

Don't you see? The gunmen

must've tooken the voucher

after they did the sh**ting.

I've asked management here,

and no-one's used the voucher

that the flyer came from.

So, you think that someone

who m*rder*d a station

full of police officers

is going to waltz into the nearby

Chinese restaurant

and risk getting caught

just to save a tenner?

Look, my mate Rob has a mate

who knows a detective

on the Major Enquiry Team, and

they say that they've got nothing.

Sometimes if you want to drink

champagne at the big table

with the big boys,

you got to bring your own straw.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

If this is important, as you say,

then how come you found it?

I would have thought

they had a forensics team

all over that police station.

There were. There still are.

It's just there's so much to do,

they ain't gone outside yet.

Well, if it's evidence, hand it in.

That's your job.

You don't believe me, do you?

You never have.

Oh, Ben, that's not true.

You just want me home

cos you're lonely. Ben, stop.

I can't be your BFF, Mummy.

Not now.

I've even taken time off work

for this. As much time as it takes

to crack this thing wide open, like

one of these lovely king prawns

that they're not going to bring me.

Then you'll see.

Then everyone's going to see.

Full price menu.

Dave, hi! It's Samuel.

Er, I just thought you should know

that I will be

paying you back today.

All of it. Cheers, mate.

OK, team,

I'll be back in, in a min.

Don't go missing me too much,

now, Kevin!

Hiya.

What you want, then?

I wanted that.

And then I I had it, for a while,

anyway, but I thought that'd be me.

You know, growing old,

having tea with my boy.

It were my life

and then it weren't.

f*ck's sake, sweetheart.

I missed out

on showing a two-bedroomed,

south-facing for this?

Do you think that people who foster

children love them any less?

Cos I don't. I think that maybe

they, they love 'em even more

because they had to choose it.

You know, when I first met you, I

thought that you were like a saint.

Your missus runs off with

a pharmacy's worth of shite,

leaving you holding the baby, and I

would look at you and I would think,

"Oh, wow!

"That takes a special

kind of someone, you know,

"to hold it all together,

stick it out."

But you didn't really want it,

did you?

You wanted to play at being

Saint Peter,

you wanted to wear the pointy

f*cking hat,

but you didn't want all the noise,

or the I got to get back to work,

so if you're done lecturing

Look in the bag.

Look in it.

Go on.

Jesus!

There's 100K in there.

It's yours.

If you put the brakes on your plans

to go to Australia. You what?

Now, who's to say that you don't,

you know, you don't take that money

and f*ck off to Oz anyway

without a second thought?

And that is why there is another

100K in there - that is 200 so far.

I give you that,

you go about the process of

letting me legally adopt Alan.

And guess what - wait for it,

cos we're not done yet -

when it's official,

you get another 200.

Where on earth did you?

It don't matter.

Well, it does bloody matter,

that's nearly half a million quid

you're talking about!

Do you want it or not? I

As a Christian man Oh!

You You are no more a Christian

or a a man than that sausage roll

on the floor over there.

I think it's a fajita.

You are a weak, weak,

f*cking excuse for a human,

who was only out

for what he can get, which is why

you're not going to be able to say

no to this, are you, Peter?

Cos you want it.

You really f*cking want it.

Don't you?

I really do want it, yeah. Yeah.

I can make some calls.

I I do know a bloke.

I can make it happen quickly.

That's nice.

It's really great that you're doing

this for him.

Really shows you care. I do.

And, you know, one day,

that'll be like you two, like them.

Oh Oh, OK. No, I

got that wrong.

I'll, um, get t'ball rolling.

f*ck off.

That's right, f*ck off.

Have a good day. You too.

This is a story

about choices that define us.

About how good people

can do bad things.

But if you take anything away

from this story of ours,

let this be it -

important things happen on benches.

Oh! Afternoon.

You all right? Yeah. Lovely day.

Well, nice enough.

Yeah, right.

You having a good day? Yeah.

Yeah. I went to this place, erm,

The Shang Emperor, round the corner.

Yeah, I've heard of it. Yeah.

The hours on the all-you-can-eat

are a bit stingy, but I

I'd check it out if I were you.

I give it four Bens.

So my name's Ben.

And I rank stuff out of five Bens.

Just a little joke.

So tell me, what took away

the last Ben? Paper napkins. Oh.

So what brings you here?

Just waiting for something.

Yeah. Me too. Sort of.

Feel like I spend my whole life

waiting for stuff. Oh, amen.

Phone calls, pay cheques,

people, taxis.

Oh, delivery men,

appointments, trains. Yeah.

Internet speeds, people I'm waiting

for, people I'm meeting.

The list goes on and on.

It It does, it really does.

It goes on and on and on.

And Ariston!

And what?

It's nothing, just silly.

Do you ever feel like you're just

waiting around for stuff, but there

are, like, other people, who,

you know, don't

wait around for things?

Yes.

What must that be like?

To be that guy, to be the other guy.

I've often wondered this.

Exhausting, I suppose.

Oh, thing after thing.

Yeah, just nonstop.

Right, I best be going.

Done waiting? Yep.

Time to be that other guy

for a change.

You take care of yourself.

You too.

Nice chap.

Hey, love.

OK. Your mum is a brilliant woman,

but she lives in a world

without clocks. That's all.

I didn't know it at the time.

How could I?

But the moment I took what

was on that boat, I lost everything.

My wife. Wife, wife, wife.

My daughter.

Daughter, daughter, daughter.

It's strange.

Strange, strange, strange.

It felt like the happiest day

of my life.

But the jaws of hell

were about to open and swallow me,

and all the people I loved, up.

As The Tailor's man

was following Samuel's wife,

The Tailor was following his heart.

I didn't think I'd see you again.

These are for you.

Oh.

I wish to take you out.

Dinner. Drinks.

Whatever it is your heart desires.

No. Sorry.

Pardon?

No. No.

You are saying no to me?

I am, love. Yeah.

You live in France. You speak

French. You do French things.

Why start something when you know

it's going to end any day soon?

You said yourself you wanted to have

new experiences

to open up your world.

You can't teach an old dog

new tricks.

We learnt a few the other night.

It's for the best.

OK. I

I will leave.

But, er, before I do,

perhaps I could buy, er,

also some delicious pasty?

Of course.

Oh, no, no, no, no. On the house.

No, no. I will pay.

I I insist, uh?

Oh, who's this?

How much is it, please?

£2.

Thank you. Thanks.

Janet had sat on that

bench for what seemed like forever,

basking in the glow

of a job well done

and a life finally going to plan.

Hello? Janet. And then

You need to meet me now.

It's urgent. Samuel?

Wha-what? What's wrong?

Just come. Now.

All right, OK. Hang on.

Are you f*cking joking me?

You said it were urgent.

You need to celebrate.

You mean YOU need to celebrate. Yes.

With you. What, you ain't got

anyone else to celebrate with?

Who else in the world

knows anything about this?

I couldn't believe it.

We'd stolen a shipload of cocaine

together and here he was,

supping on a seafood tower!

But he was right.

Sometimes when you have a secret,

it hurts to keep it in.

And I'm a sucker for a langoustine.

Chuck us a prawn, then. Look.

Samuel Wells,

welcome to the 21st century.

Right, but what about, you know,

the gambling and temptation

and all that? It's fine.

I'm fine.

Who cares? I'm rich!

I'm rich! I'm rich!

I can shower in seafood!

Samuel!

Hi. Darling! Hi. Hi.

What are you doing here?

I was just walking past. OK.

Erm, cos Anya said you'd been out

for ages. She was worried about you.

Yeah, I haven't looked at my phone.

I was shopping, had a long walk.

Mm-hm. I explored while OK.

..you were here with, erm?

Oh, right, sorry! This is Sally.

Yeah, I am Sally.

Yeah, Sally and I worked together,

erm, oh, years ago, years ago,

couple of cases, er,

then Sally moved back up here.

Actually, it was Sally

who first got me

thinking about this place

in the first place.

Yeah. Hiya. Hi.

Great to meet you. Yeah.

So, erm, how, how's the house?

You should come round for dinner,

tonight. See for yourself.

Ah!

That's a great idea. Right.

Money can buy you many things.

But escaping an unwanted

invitation for dinner

is not one of those things.

I didn't think you'd come.

I didn't want your wife asking

questions about who I was.

And I'm really f*cking hungry.

Let's make it quick.

Right, this is Anya.

Anya, this is Sally.

Hiya.

Right, she says she's sorry

she can't join us for dinner,

she just doesn't want to.

That's rude. Fair enough.

See ya.

Hi. Oh, hiya! Yeah,

I'm really sorry about the mess.

We're still unpacking. Er, let me

get you a drink. What is this?

Oh, that is a 3D printed model

of Samuel's head.

He's a huge Bowie fan, and his

friends had it made for his 50th.

That's weird. Yeah,

he has some weird friends.

Can we please eat? I have some

very high-end ingredients.

Where do you want me?

Just over here is fine.

Crikey. Eh? Oh, yeah, sorry,

this, er

Glasses got broken in the move.

No, no, I don't

I-I-I mean, lobster.

I don't think I've had

lobster before.

Oh, I thought you legal types

were always having fancy dinners.

Oh, yeah, er,

another nice surprise waiting for us

in this delightful new house.

Lobster and mice?

Now it's a f*cking party. Oh!

Please, I'm all right. Yeah.

..And we'd been waiting

for about eight hours for this jury,

and, erm

..Sally turns to me -

and by this time we were so bored -

and she asks this question. So

She says, "If you, if you came

across the world's greatest treasure

"and no-one was watching"

"would you take it?"

What a funny question.

Yeah, I'm funny like that.

I'm always asking

f*cking weird questions. Right.

And as soon as she asked that

question, I was like,

"Yeah, we could be friends." Mmm.

Well, you said you would

take all the treasure.

Right? Without blinking.

In fact, I think he answered

before I finished the question.

What would you do?

Depends. What on?

On how much I needed it.

Oh, that's a cop-out.

Flourless cake!

So I was thinking that, erm,

tomorrow we should, er,

go back to the storage unit

and divide up the money. OK.

Is ten OK? Cos I've

got to do something first.

Ten's perfect.

She's lovely.

Believe me, I know.

So's my daughter,

if somewhat, you know, antisocial.

Argh!

Camilla?

Oh, God, I'm such an idiot!

It's OK.

It's no good without flour anyway.

No, I heard 'em say

they sold it already.

But, listen, I also know where

they're going to be meeting

to divide the money up.

Well, no.

No, because you told me

to be less conspicuous.

And I went away

and I looked that word up.

Four dead bodies is pretty f*cking

conspicuous to me.

What? Tomorrow at ten.

Well, I'm going to be

un-conspicuous, ain't I?

Hiya. Morning.

Come here.

That were very tight.

What are we doing here? I thought

I'd, er, buy you a new tuba.

Cos you said the one that you

borrowed from school was a little bit

The mouthpiece keeps giving me a rash,

which I'm pretty sure is herpes.

But you can't afford this.

What's going on?

Things are changing.

Maybe, I don't know, maybe I'm due

some good luck for once.

Hey, listen, I, erm, I had a word

with your dad and, er, well, he's,

he said, we

we-we agreed that

..I'm going to become

your legal guardian.

If that's OK with you?

Mum

Come on.

Janet. Hiya, I'm so sorry I'm late.

I'm already inside.

Oh, OK.

Sorry, I couldn't say anything.

Now take me to the money. Move.

Who are you? Move!

Oh, sh*t.

What have you done?

Where's the money? I

I It wasn't me. Where is it?

Why would you assume it was me?!

Well, where is it? Just calm down.

Calm down?!

Are you f*cking telling me to calm down?!

All right, then THINK!

My life's on the line here, too.

Why would I risk that?

I don't know, why did you gamble your life

savings away? Why did you quit your job?

I didn't quit my job,

I was struck off, OK?

Well, you were wondering why I can't

trust you! Shut up! Enough!

Now let me get this straight.

Are you seriously telling me

that you genuinely,

I mean genuinely, don't know

where that money is? Yes.

We've got no idea.

I'm going to ask you one more time.

And I'm going to ask you

to promise on your life.

And I f*cking mean that literally.

No!

Cos you saw the news, yeah?

What?

You've seen what I'm prepared to do.

Go through a whole police station

to get to you two.

I knew it!

I promise you, I swear to God,

we do not know anything

about where that's gone.

Promise.

We don't know anything about it.

OK, then. Let's go.

Hiya.

We need to look at the, er,

CCTV in the corridor.

You what? Our unit got broken into.

Number 13.

That's a police matter, that is.

All sorts of forms and so on,

I can't be doing that

We can do without all that hassle.

Right, love?

I mean, life's too short,

innit? For all that old bollocks.

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

Course. Erm

Corridor outside 13? Yeah.

Yeah, when? We were last there

about 10am yesterday.

Listen, I just want to say,

I really appreciate this.

I'm going to make sure you get

five stars on the old, y'know?

I want to give it five Guys.

You see, that's my name. Guy.

And I rate everything in Guys now.

"Staff here are so professional.

"I mean, really went

that extra mile, service-wise."

Hey, I've got an idea.

You know I could even

put your name in the review.

What is your name, love?

Belinda. Oh, Belinda. Yeah.

Beautiful name. There.

Go back.

f*ck.

You know him? Oh, unfortunately.

Sorry, can you go forwards?

It looks like it just stops.

How long after that man left?

Er, let's see.

He comes in at 9pm last night,

camera cuts out 20 minutes later,

maybe, and then it's back on

an hour after.

Slimy, sneaky, rat-faced c**t!

Sorry, Belinda. Sorry.

You sure he's going to be there?

It's a match day. He'll be there.

Yeah, you better hope so.

Your boss

does he know about us yet?

Well, he knows I found you.

So, he knows our names? Nah.

He only knows I'm on it.

And I'm not going to bother him

until I get the cash.

Because The Tailor likes

to be given solutions. Not problems.

The Tailor?

Doesn't he have a real name?

What do you care what

his f*cking name is? I was, er,

I was just curious, I suppose.

About the man we stole from.

Why are you still talking?!

Oh, I keep meaning to go there.

Sorry? The old Shang Emperor.

I got a voucher an' all,

I keep meaning to go,

but work keeps getting in the way,

which is sh*t, cos I f*cking love

a nice big plate of h* fun. Mm-hm.

You know them noodles, you know?

You know, the big, fat, tasty ones?

I love 'em. Yeah, I've heard

of them. You like noodles?

Er, yeah, I do.

I do quite like noodles.

It's like the Chinese saw pasta

and thought, "Hold my beer," y'know?

I love 'em.

Well, I thought you wanted to talk?

Hiya, Mummy! Hiya, kid.

How was the doctor?

Usual song and dance.

You tell him you're not sh1tting

properly and then they want you

to go for a full scale MOT,

which makes you Oh.

What you been playing at?

If you don't put the product out

no-one can buy it. I did.

It's all sold out. You what?

Every single thing. Sold out.

To, uh

..Monsieur Frenchington.

So, you and him, is it,

is it serious?

None of your beeswax.

If he's going to be my new Daddy, it

actually is my beeswax, cos you

All right.

I am not going to jump

back into bed with you

just cos you got a few quid.

Thank God, no, of course not.

You see, all I wished

was to get your attention.

And, er

Mm! What a delicious way to do it.

I've said everything

that needs saying.

But The Tailor

wasn't used to hearing the word no.

You made yourself clear, yes.

But you didn't give me

a chance to to respond.

It is true that, er,

I'm just a visitor here.

But what if

What if I was not?

Oh, bloody hell. We had sex once.

Twice. One and a half.

Agreed.

And you're going to move here?

There's words for that.

I said no such thing.

Only that, er

..I'm I'm open to to change,

to possibility.

I ask simply that you do the same.

We're not just

in different worlds, love.

We're in two difference galaxies.

Universes, even.

If it's possible to have

more than one universe, that is.

You have my number.

You seem awfully confident.

I know how this ends.

Oh, no, no, no.

What's he doing here? What?

Is that Is that your son?

I can't do this while he's here.

I'll be putting a target

right on his back.

I hate to tell you this, Janet,

but everyone we've ever loved

is already in danger.

We can't all go over. Well, just..

Just don't say anything, please.

Dad, Mum wants to talk to you.

W-W-What What's going on?

Where's the money?

You, you gave that to me,

we had a deal.

We know you went to the storage unit.

How'd you find it? Did you follow me?

I don't know what you're on about.

You're literally on camera

at 9:00 last night

and then you walk away

and half an hour later,

the CCTV just conveniently stops.

You paid him, didn't you?

I'd think very carefully

about what you say next, mate.

Because I work for the man

that that money belongs to.

I got suspicious

when you gave me

that money and-and, er, so

..I went onto-onto-onto your,

onto online banking and I,

er, saw the payment for the storage

unit. And I-I-I went and had a look

and I saw all the

..all the padlocks and, er, and the

camera and I thought, "No, thanks."

So what you're saying, it's just

bad luck the CCTV just cuts out,

is that it? Janet, please.

I am not lying.

Hi, Mum.

Al, Alan! Mate, come, come here.

What's that app, with the, erm

For the doorbell and the camera?

The smart bell?

Smart bell, yeah.

Can, can, can you have a look,

there? Can you check it for me?

Can you show these lovely people

what time I got back last night?

What's this about?

Just..bloody do it.

Quickly, please, now.

Ha-ha! 9:15! See?

See?

Did, did I go,

did I go anywhere after? No.

Right, you, you can, you can,

you can go now. Not till you tell me

what's going on. It's nowt

to do with you, just piss off!

Mum? But I'm not your mum, am I?

She had the good sense to f*ck off

before I did, so just jog on,

you're not wanted. Go! Please!

If I find out you're lying, I will

come back here and take you apart.

Now go.

Not your day, is it?

Where are we going?

Where do you think?

You're taking us to The Tailor?

Think, Samuel.

Your life depends upon it.

Think, Janet!

Your life also depends upon it!

Who took the money?!

Come on. Come on.

There must be someone.

There must be someone who knows

Huh, er, the,

the bloke, who, erm, the bloke,

the bloke from the storage,

the storage place.

He weren't, he weren't there today.

Right. Right, right, er,

and he would've had access

Yeah to those cameras so, erm

What was his

Ha Harry Henry

Harold! Harold's,

Harold's life-hacks! Right.

Yeah. He must Look, look him up.

He works at the storage facility.

He sees all the comings and goings,

like some all-seeing spider,

and we are flies in his web.

He saw what we put in that unit.

Are you sure?

We're grasping at straws

because straws are all we have!

Oh, erm, there's, er, there's,

there's an address for, for,

for fan-mail on his page. It's,

it's 70 more 74 Craigmin Road.

74 Craigmin Road. 74.

We have to go to 74 Please.

..Craigmin Road, cos that's where

the man who stole the money lives.

Do I look like I work for you?

Sh Shouldn't we at least try?

I thought you said that your boss

liked being given solutions not,

not problems, right?

Well, go on.

I think you've taken something

that doesn't belong to you. No.

You need No, no, no

Where's the money?

It's under me bed.

I ain't spent none of it.

You two were always in and out,

and you walked right past me

like I was nothing,

but I notice, see?

I watch and I wait and I see.

Mr Invisible over here.

Why? Why?

You didn't have to do that!

We don't have to do anything.

But we do it anyway, don't we?

Right, I'm going to grab the cash

and then we're going to get

the f*ck out of here.

They'd found the money

but a lone wolf

was still trying to find them.

Show yourself.

Hello. Hi. Hiya.

I don't need to do it and, er,

yet still I I cannot help myself.

One day a week, I find my steps

drawn to the old shop.

Tell me

..what were the the two of you

before you decided

to become thieves?

Some of the money's gone.

Half a million.

But we can get it back for you.

If you give us some time, we can

How much did you receive

for your first transaction?

Five million.

I'm sorry. I should

I shouldn't laugh.

I mean, well, things have been, er,

The product on that boat

should fetch twice the amount

you were paid.

We we didn't

f*ck. We didn't know that.

We didn't think No. No, you

you didn't think, huh? Hmm.

You didn't think

about any of this, huh?

Wait.

Oh, I thought I felt it buzz.

You know that, er,

sometimes you think a text has come

and then, er

Well, perhaps I'm wrong.

Maybe she's right. Maybe, er

..our worlds are too different.

Anyway, k*ll them.

No, no! Please, please!

Please, I've got a son!

I have!

We'll fix this, I promise. We'll

find a way to get you your money.

Cinq million? Cinq million?

You're a comic?

No! No, no, no, no!

The bloke who we sold the stuff to,

find Please, just give us a

Oh! Stop begging,

it's embarrassing for everyone.

This is just business.

No! A day, a day.

Just give us a day.

What How, how could it hurt?

Let us at least try. How could

it hurt to just see what happens?

Those are the words

I used with Patricia.

"Let us see where this goes,"

I asked her.

I have never been so vulnerable,

so naked,

and still this taunts me with the

loudest silence I have known, no?

You are from here, yes?

Yeah. You know how these women

in the North think?

Er, I I, uh

There is a woman.

Do Do I give up? Do I continue?

Do I keep pushing forward?

I It's Tell, tell me

about her. What happened?

Cos, yeah, just like you said,

I am, I am a northern woman,

I I know how we think.

This is how foolish I have become.

f*ck!

Usually I would take my time.

Prolong the moment, uh?

But today is your luckiest one.

Wait.

She wants to meet me for a date.

She says, er

What does this mean?

"Let's give it a whirl."

What?

She wants to spin with me?

No, it's just, it's, it's a phrase.

It's an idiom.

It's, erm, like, let's give it a go.

Let's, let's give something a try.

"Give it a whirl." Ha-ha!

Oh, yes, Pat. Yes.

Let's Let's give it

Let's give it a whirl.

Wow!

What a f*cking roller-coaster.

It seems, er,

Guy will keep an eye on you.

And know this -

I'm rooting for you, hey?

I hope you find the money, huh?

We all get what it is that we want.

Yeah?

Really "give it a whirl,"

she says, uh?

OK Come on, let's go.

Wait!

There is one more thing.

What do I say to her?

How quickly things change.

How life can be saved by one

fortuitously timed text message.

Life isn't always simple, though.

Things aren't always

black and white.
