00:00 You're trending.
00:01 Ha! That's fantastic!
00:03 You retweeted a white supremacist.
00:05 Retweeted a what?
00:06 A Nazi.
00:07 Good luck tomorrow.
00:08 Thank you.
00:09 He'll never see it coming.
00:10 Indeed he won't.
00:11 Hello.
00:13 Big Bear or racism?
00:14 I'm here for the signing.
00:15 Um, it's cancelled.
00:17 I'm your son.
00:18 Okay. I'll be right back.
00:21 Okay.
00:22 How'd it go?
00:25 I don't want to talk about it.
00:26 Because it didn't go how you'd hoped it might?
00:27 I can't answer that without talking about it.
00:29 I don't particularly want to see you.
00:31 Your father's had an affair with an Australian woman.
00:33 You have a half-brother.
00:34 I'm on a quest to understand who I am and where I come from.
00:38 I will need you to fill this up to the line.
00:40 What? Now?
00:41 And this guy turns up saying he's my son.
00:43 Ingrid's livid.
00:44 And then to cap it all, he tells me he's autistic.
00:47 Could be a documentary.
00:49 I could never forgive myself if we didn't capture these precious moments.
00:53 Now, how do I turn you on?
00:54 That's not how.
00:57 I don't want you waltzing into his life.
00:59 He's autistic. He's vulnerable.
01:01 Yeah, well, so am I.
01:02 I apologise about my family. It's kind of embarrassing.
01:06 Why did you have sex with my mother?
01:08 Oh.
01:09 Are you secretly making a documentary?
01:13 It might improve my current public image.
01:15 So you're pretending to get to know your own son?
01:18 I think it's best if I have my affair now. Get it out the way.
01:21 You can have an affair now.
01:22 Anything else I can do for you, Ingrid?
01:24 I don't know.
01:25 Maybe you'd like to come and visit us?
01:27 Travelling to Great Britain would be the single best thing I have ever done.
01:30 You look after him, or I'll chop your nuts off.
01:32 You're Billy Piper, aren't you?
01:35 I'll bring my hairs on your chest.
01:38 I've already got quite a few hairs on my chest, as you can see.
01:41 It's a pleasure to meet you, Florence.
01:43 Is a handshake okay?
01:44 Have you washed them recently?
01:45 No, she hasn't.
01:46 Maybe later then.
01:47 Dads can be difficult.
01:52 I'm still in the car, Ruston.
01:53 I'm still in the car, Ruston.
