[Sood] Hello?
Hello.
I have been trying to get a hold of you all day.
Speak up. I can't hear you.
I'm not in the office, Mr Sood.
Not at work? Are the markets closed?
No, Mr Sood. But it's Christmas.
Hang Christmas! It's my money you're losing.
I gave you instructions this morning.
We've opened another bottle, Quinn.
Merry Christmas, Mr Sood, you old f...
[Sood] I have lost a small fortune
while you guzzle away my profits.
Oh, come on, Mr Sood. It's Christmas.
You are no longer my stockbroker.
Looks like my Christmas just came early.

Merry Christmas, Mr S.
You still owe me for last year's books and late tax funds.
Oh, come on, Guv. My takings are down.
No-one's spending.
At these prices, I'm not surprised.
As your business manager,
I'm here to tell you the tax man is after you
and it's not my fault If you end up in trouble.
It's Christmas.
I am trying to help you.
I always said a seasonal market
is a bad business model, didn't I?

[children laughing happily]
[fireworks explode]
[Man] What? It's cold, man.
[Woman] Bob freezing in here.
Do something about it.
Oh, for god's sake, Bob.
Can you turn the heating up please?
I can't feel my chestnuts anymore.
Can you just put another hoodie on, Ken?
He'll know as soon as he comes in and just see it
when he checks the gas bill.
Is it really worth the hassle?
Unless you're volunteering to come over here and warm
my baubles up for me, then yes.
-You lackey. -Oi!
I'm no lackey.
Just grateful to Mr S giving me a start when I had nothing.
You still got nothing, you Muppet.
If you don't turn the heating up, I will hold you personally
responsible for my infertility.
-Alright. -[laughter]
Right. I'll do it. But as a one-off.
[everyone cheers]
One degree!
What? Just be grateful we've all got jobs.
Be home time soon anyway.
I suspect that that wasteman has gone home already.
Yeah. So he doesn't have to look us in the face
to say "No Christmas bonus. No office do."
-When's he ever gone home early? -Hey.
Who fancies a drink?
[enthusiastic hubbub]
Ken? Seriously? Are you taking the mick?
Come on, who wants one? Everyone? Fill 'em up.
-Ken, please. -That's it, line 'em up!
Hey, Bob, come away from that window.
Have a festive tipple.
* Man, I hate this old guy
* Sood, yeah, so dry
* Miser, low life Stingy. So tight *
* Killing me. No lie. Him a thief. I know, right *
* If he wants a showdown Trust me, it's showtime *
* Could there be any worse bosses *
* He got us stuck up in this office making losses *
* While he hoovers up the profits *
* Sood you gotta stop it It's the 21st century *
* Not 1843 I ain't your chimney sweep *
* This is modern Britain
* Struggle with the cost of living *
We work our fingers to theboe* and you're not forgiving *
* Watch and listen Focus on facts *
* All we own after tax Is the clothes on our backs *
* And our dignity of course you can't own that *
* But while we're so thin, his pockets grow fat *
* Nothing worse than doing a job that you're not enjoying *
* Last Christmas, my bonus was a chocolate coin *
* Me too. See, Sood Yeah, he's rude. *
* Didn't do a festive lunch
* He don't believe in free food *
* There's hardly any windows due to the costs *
* He got a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp *
* He's a bad operator and he works us till we bleed *
* Oi, man's a Scrooge!
* And makes life a misery * er
* Leaves us cold with no heating *
* Checks his watch until we bleed *
* No tidings of comfort and joyComfort and joy *
* Zero tidings of comfort... Oi, man's a Scrooge *
* He's a bad operator and he works us till we bleed *
* And makes life a misery * er
* Leaves us cold with no heating *
* Checks his watch until we bleed *
* No tidings of comfort and joyYo, take that, bruv *
* Zero tidings of comfort and joy *
* And one day I swear he'll regret it *
* A human soul can shrivel away if you let it *
* And yeah, my life's pony
* But the difference between him and us *
* Is we ain't gonna die lonely *
Oh no.
[man clears throat]
Okay.
Mr Sood.
-Pleasant surprise. -Cratchit.
-Issue everyone their notice. -What?
But Mr S., no harm done.
We were just getting into the Christmas spirit.
If they want to intoxicate themselves and disrespect my
name, on my premises, on my time, I see no other option.
But Mr S, we've got our end of year accounts to complete, and--
Precisely, precisely.
Your disregard for our deadlines is unacceptable.
You are all replaceable.
But it's Christmas Eve.
I suggest you don't say another word or you'll be fired too.
Bah-quaas? Bah-humbug, more like.
-Bob. -Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas Suprit. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Uncle.
-Hey, Bob. Merry Christmas. -Merry Christmas.
Heads up. Your uncle just lost his rag.
[Raj sings] * Merry Christmas
[Raj laughs]
What right have you to be merry?
-You're Indian and poor. -Uncle. Come on.
What right do you have to be grumpy? Huh?
You are British and rich.
Ah, it's not our religion.
Yeah, but all gods are the same, aren't they?
That's what Ma used to say.
My sister's greatest failure was her inability to instil
a sense of reality and identity in her Indian son.
Hai Bhagvan, bless her soul.
She left us too early, just like our mother.
Well, Uncle, there's no better time in London
than Christmas.
It's a time for giving, sharing, and family coming together.
That woman has mushed your brain.
Why would you marry an English woman and one with
no money and no status?
Uh, in fact, my dear wife and I are having
a small party tomorrow.
And once again, we are inviting you, Uncle.
Uncle, come on.
It's not right you being all alone at Christmas.
What's not right is you and other fools like you
spending money they don't have on parties.
And then they say we're having a cost of living crisis.
It's bad enough this whole country shuts down for the
silly season. Now just go home.
Take your misguided jolly Christmas spirit with you.
Go.
Merry Christmas, Uncle.
Happy New Year.
[doorbell buzzes]
-[Meredith] Hello. -[Charlotte] Thank you.
-Please come in, sorry. -Oh, please.
Oh, you'll need your gloves.
Oh, hello.
We're visiting local businesses
and collecting for the homeless.
Yes. Yeah.
And we were wondering if Mr Sood and Mr Marley might
like to make a donation.
So we can get people off the streets for Christmas.
It's a very charitable thing to do, ladies, but--
-Mr Marley is dead. -Oh.
He died seven years ago, but if he was alive,
I'm sure he would share my sentiments for your mission.
Oh.
Oh, well, I'm so sorry for your loss.
How much can I put you down for, Mr Sood?
Are there no hospitals, no hostels, no institutions
that can lock the sick and weak away
so tax paying citizens like me aren't penalised
for their failures.
-Sir! -I have no time for the weak.
We're already groaning from a surplus population.
Let them stop being drains on the state.
There's a limit to what this island can manage.
My manager will show you out. I have work to do.
Yeah. Sorry. Doesn't really do Christmas.
-Happy Christmas. -[Sood] Bob! Leaving so soon?
Um, about that advance you were going to give me,
from next month's wages.
I just still got presents to buy for the kids.
Whatever possessed you to have so many, Bob?
Thank you, sir.
* Someday we will have enough To buy them more than scraps *
* Perhaps, but all they really want they have right now *
* They may never ask for much
* Still, there are things we need *
* Agreed, but when they smile at us *
* I forget the frills and fuss *
* Suddenly it's like we're oh so wealthy somehow *
Dad, can I get you this?
Oh!
If I give you that... Tighten the strap...
I wish we could get you a new one, Dad.
Well, let's see if it's in tune.
[Bob plays the guitar]
It's in tune.
* Christmas is the time when I remember *
* The richest month will always be December *
* When the family have each other in their hearts *
* And how much we have already *
* Before the wrapping even starts *
* And we know a gift is still a gift *
* From someone you love
* It's never been about the price tag *
* A toy is still a toy To make someone smile *
* It doesn't cost the earth but it's still worthwhile *
* Even if it's second-hand
* A toy from you is in demand
* And that's 'cos our love will always be new *
* A gift is still a gift when it comes from you *
* Christmas on a budget's quite a feat now *
* And people like us, we try, but we can't compete now *
* I know I thought we didn't have it all before *
* But when you wrap your arms around me *
* Who could want for any more? *
* And I know
* A gift is still a gift From someone you love *
* It's never been about the price tag *
* A toy is still a toy To make someone smile *
* It doesn't cost the earth but it's still worthwhile *
* And even if it's second-hand *
* A toy from you is in demand
* And that's 'cos our love will always be new *
* A gift is still a gift And the gift is you *
-[Mary] Please God... -[Tiny Tim] I found this.
Don't take my Tim away.
Our boy is a gift. He's a gift from you.
* A gift is someone you love *
* And God knows how much I love you *
* It ain't always bright and breezy *
* Other families have it easy
* But I'm so grateful for All the blessings we receive *
* I know that our love will always come through *
* A gift is still a gift When it comes from you *
* A gift is still a gift From someone you love *
* It's never been about the price tag *
* A toy is still a toy To make someone smile *
* It doesn't cost the earth but it's still worthwhile *
* And even if it's second-hand *
* A toy from you is in demand
* And that's 'cos our love will always be new *
* A gift is still a gift And the gift is you *
[inaudible chatter]
[loud music and cheering]
[happy chatter outside the pub]
Taxi!
Oh, it's you again. The singing cabbie.
Hey mate, are you free? Can you take us to Shoreditch?
Excuse me. Can you not see me standing here?
Of course you cannot see because you've been drinking all day.
Hey, it's Christmas, why are you so sober?
You misery-guts.
Alcohol is a curse for weak men.
[in Indian accent] Hoo-hoo. Blimey!
Alcohol is no good.
-Tom, come on, mate. -Gandhi would not approve.
Oi! Turn it in, you little mug.
[normal accent] Oh yeah, you want some?
Come on then, you...
You're hammered, mate. Let's go. Come on.
This is why I hate Christmas.
He's just a lightweight. He means no harm.
Harm?
His kind will never do me harm.
Now take me home. No singing.
What was up with the accent?
Come on, man, you know I'm half Indian.
What was up with that?
[groan]
[Christmas instrumental]
Look up there!
[inaudible conversation]
You planning on taking the wife and kids away then?
Or?
My mate, Jake Singh, he does a tasty tandoori turkey.
Puts chillies in his stuffing and everything.
[laughs]
Wish we was having that.
I am not saying my wife can't cook, but we usually
pray after we've eaten.
[laughs]
Uh, well, this'll make you laugh.
* On the first day of Christmas *
* My wife, she made for me
* A bland Butterball turkey
* On the second day of Christmas *
* My wife, she made for me
* Two pigs in blankets and a bland Butterball turkey *
* On the third day of Christmas *
* My wife, she made for me
* Three burnt sausage rolls
Excuse me. I am a vegetarian. This is offensive.
No, but the fifth day of Christmas is a cracker.
I don't want to know.
No, you'll love it. It's vegetarian.
-I do not... -* Five onion rings
Look at that tree. Look. It's beautiful. Look!
Oh, come on, come on. You're fleecing me here.
It's busy everywhere, mate, innit? It's Christmas Eve.
Yeah. I think I'm gonna knock off after this.
My wife, she's...
I am not paying to hear about
your personal life.
You have exploited me enough.
I am going to walk
and I need a receipt.
No tip, no? Not even tonight?
Well, for me tonight is like any other night.
What do they call you then? Bloody Scrooge.
Scrooge? I'll give you Scrooge.
I'm going to take down your number.
Yeah, don't worry about it.
All my details are on here.
Here you are.
Liven yourself up and, um, Merry Christmas.
[cheerful music]
Hey, take the dog out for a long walk.
-Okay? -Yes, Dad.
[dog barks and snarls at Sood]
Merry Christmas.
All set for Christmas?
No-- Don't you start. This madness is not for us.
Yeah, but it's nice to make an effort for the kids, isn't it?
A fine example you're setting.
Now,give me my mint humbugs.
99p please.
So this is how you make your money, huh?
If you had looked after your pennies like I did, you'd
be a much more successful businessman instead of making
your family work endless hours in this tiny inefficient shop.
Well. I don't have the sharp business sense that you have.
I take it you'll be open tomorrow.
I have to. It's the only day I make money when all the
big stores are closed.
Someone may want some lights and tinsel, innit?
Not likely.
One more day and this will all be old, loss-making stock.
Ah.
Garam chai for you?
My wife makes the best tea,
just like the street stalls of Jalandhar.
[woman] So sad.
These poor refugees have nowhere to go.
Who the hell does he think he is?
The rich ones always forget their roots.
* Three wise men journeyed from lands far and wide *
* Caspar from Asia, with Melchior by his side *
* Balthasar from Africa, gifts in their hands *
* Frankincense, myrrh, gold from their distant lands *
Merry Christmas. Any donations for refugees
and doctors on the front line?
Be really grateful.
Oh my God, these kids should be arrested
for making such a terrible noise.
And you. I hope you don't plan on drinking wine
and making a racket all night.
I intend to sleep early, and I deeply resent this
intrusion outside my house.
Oh, wow.
[girl] That's so mean.
Looks like somebody's on the naughty list.
[they all laugh]
[singing continues]
[strange, threatening noises]
[Sood cries out involuntarily]
Oh, Mrs Joshi.
Why are you trying to frighten me?
Why are the lights off inside?
Because you didn't leave any
money for the electricity meter.
I have been cooking
and cleaning in the dark.
This house and me are both frozen from no heating.
Well, there's no point putting money in now.
I'm going to bed.
Well then you can eat your dhal
and your broken basmati in the dark.
I would've left earlier, but my wages are due.
I will give them to you tomorrow when I can count
the notes in the daylight.
But it's Christmas.
You should be giving me a bonus.
You are a Hindu, for God's sake, this is blasphemy.
Now go home, woman, and pray forgiveness from Lord Ram
for your greed and sacrilegious ways.
You're the one that needs God's help, not me.
[scoffs]
[she mutters indistinctly]
[choir still singing in background]
[door slams]
[strange noises]
[belches]
[groans]
[clanking chains]
Is that you, Mrs Joshi?
You get no Christmas bonus from me.
Silly woman made me sick.
[loud banging]
[spirit] Eshaan Sood!
How do you know my name?
If you are a burglar, you'll find nothing here.
What's happening?
Is this some kind of joke?
I don't believe in ghosts or spirits.
I'm not the kind of man to be easily frightened.
[cries out in fear]
[clanking of chains and moaning]
Who are you?
What do you want from me?
I'm a spectre of someone you knew.
Doing time where time has no end.
Before I was doomed to roam here, entombed,
I was someone whom you call a friend.
Marley?
Is that you?
What in God's name happened to you?
I wish I knew then what I know now,
but my desire to succeed meant I knew only greed.
[Marley moans pitifully]
Oh, I had all I could ask for.
But look what remains.
All the souls that I shunned are now links in my chains.
If you remember, I did warn you to not flaunt all of your--
-You stupid fool! -No, please.
-Okay. Okay. -I have come here to help you.
To spare you of my fate and you admonish me?
Have you no compassion?
You will suffer as I do unless you make a difference now.
-Or... -What?
When you die
your spirit is doomed to wander the world with the
poor and the needy who you've hurt and you spurned.
Marley, I don't understand.
You were a pillar of society, a great businessman.
Mankind was my business.
Mankind.
You must have heard of karma.
Karma, yes.
I was taught it as a child.
Then open your heart and listen.
It is man's duty to empathise with his fellow man.
This is how you will be judged.
Three spirits will come to you tonight.
No, please, no more...
It's Christmas.
Isn't that blasphemy to you? Hmm?
Show that you care before it's too late.
Don't suffer my fate!
* Can't you see that I'm down on my knees *
Marley!
* You can cure yourself from this disease *
* It's so easy
* Set yourself free Open your eyes *
* And look at me
* 'Cos if money could talk it would scream *
* It would cry at our terrible choices *
* And if money could talk It would shake us awake *
* In the night with loud voices *
* So it's time to prepare
* You won fair and square
* And beware
[groans softly]
[The Ghost of Christmas Past complaining in Spanish]
[talking to herself in Spanish]
[Sood] Who's that?
What? What is... Marley?
What kind of ghost is this?
[replies in Spanish]
Er, can you speak English, please?
We are in England.
[mockingly] Can you speak English, please?
We're in England.
Are you the ghost that Marley said is coming?
Yeah. He asked me to do him a favour.
-He owes me. -But this is ridiculous.
You're not even dressed like a ghost.
[snarls]
[recoils in horror]
Oh.
[Mariachi music]
[singing in Spanish]
[whooping]
Hey, where's my tequila?
I don't condone spirits of any kind.
You don't even have an altar. You're supposed to have an altar
filled with all my favourite things.
You're supposed to welcome me with open arms.
I'm not feeling the open arms here.
I think there's a misunderstanding.
You never heard of Día de Muertos?
-Day of the Dead. -Day Of the what?
Okay, well, that's your first problem.
Us Mexicans. We're not afraid of death.
We actually honour the dead.
Okay, and what? Marley sent you to warn me with this,
this out of tune screeching band?
[gasps] No, no, no, no, no.
[speaking Spanish]
[in English] Hey, party pooper.
Ow! Are you trying to blind me now?
Blind you.
No, I can't blind you more than you already are.
I am your ghost of Christmas Past.
My past is my past.
You have no business with it.
Let's get this over with.
I'm still hungover from the last
Día de Muertos. Come on.
No.

[vocalising]
Your sister.
She was with us on the worst day of our lives.
[man on radio] We interrupt this programme
to bring you an urgent news report.
I insist we leave now.
Ugandan p has today declared ,
all Asians must leave the country within 90 days.
President Amin has summoned the British High Commissioner
in Kampala to arrange for all British passport holders
to be removed immediately.
Many Asians were brought to Uganda to build the
British East Africa railway and have been living there
for more than a century.
[woman] How could this happen?
How could they do this to us?
We were fine in India, but these crafty British
brought us here to build this country.
-I'm scared. -So they could fleece the land.
Why are they not banned?
Mother, please. The British will look after us.
We are, after all British citizens.
They looted India and Africa to build their own country.
Why would they help us?
[reporter] President Amin, what will happen to the Asians
if they don't go by the time limit?
I think they will be sitting like they're
sitting on the fire.
Yes, it is the British High Commissioner is here.
His responsibility.
I have told him.
Mother's passport, father's passport.
And your British nationality document.
-You go there. -I got letter.
You said the Asians are pawns of Empire and you want
to teach Britain a lesson.
And that is now a lesson I'm teaching the British.
I am teaching now the lesson because I am correcting them
from the mistake they had made.
If they had think before earlier that there is African here who
can even work and building the railway with instructions
given to them by the British, this problem will not happen.
Goodbye, Barungi. I love you.
-Keep all of this. -Have you got enough space?
Yeah, put it in. Please look after my mother.
[young Sood] Take good care of him, he's yours now.
What?
What? I was frightened. Many people we knew had been
beaten, robbed, killed on the way to the airport.
It was my home. I didn't want to leave.
[man] Okay, say bye, Eshaan.
Eshaan.
Come on.
[dog whines]
Bye.
[dog whines]
Go, Barungi, go.
Bye, Barungi.
[pilot] Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to London's Heathrow Airport.
[people protesting]
[melancholic music]
Stop the migrants! Jobs for white workers!
[man] It's just noise. Don't worry.
[angry shouting]
Let's register the children and families first, please.
-Hi, sir. -Oh, no.
We pleaded with them to leave, but they wouldn't let us.
Father said we could find our own work, earn our own keep.
Are you okay? What's your name?
Outside, the shouting was getting louder.
[angry shouting]
[woman] This way for warm clothes, please.
[man] Got some lovely children's clothes here.
The clothes smelled. Could barely touch them.
-Help you feel warm. -Thank you.
[Sood] It's the smell of cabbage.
I remember. Cold, bland food.
Father stopped eating after a while.
Nothing tasted as good as his home-cooked food in Uganda.
They said he died of a heart attack, but I know
he died of a broken heart.
* And let it in
* Be strong
* Be still Hear its song *
* Hear the story, heal the scar *
* Let the pain of the past
* Show you who you are
[Sood] The next day we were sent to the kids' home.
They're going to have lots of toys for you there.
It's going to be okay, alright?
You must be brave now.
Don't let anything beat you down.
Look how I brought my wealth with me.
Look, my diamonds.
Remember, with wealth, you will always have respect.
Go out and be someone.
Come on, Eshaan, let's get you in the car, okay?
Don't worry. It's going to be okay.
It's going to be really nice.
[Spanish ghost] Vamos.
[in English] The journey continues.
Let's meet you a little older.
[jolly music]
[supervisor] In there. Bring them through. That's it.
Mr Fezzyweg. My old boss is alive again.
Okay. Yes. That's it, Eddie.
-Yup -Erm...
-Eddie? -I didn't mind.
It was easier than Eshaan.
I was just so relieved
to get out of that kids' home and get to work.
Alright, my lovely lot. My beautiful staff.
I want to thank you all for a great year.
Christmas bonuses for all of you.
[applause]
Do you disapprove of his generosity?
His business couldn't afford it.
Well, his staff seems grateful.
Come and get it while it's hot.
Turkey and stuffing bagels.
Turn the music up.
[rhythmic electro music]
[people cheering]
[woman speaking indistinctly]
I hope this trip down memory lane has been as valuable
for you as it has to me.
-Ay,- What? mio.
You think these memories will change me?
You think looking back at the pain of the past will somehow
magically wipe it all away?
-Yes. -Yeah, well, it doesn't.
In fact, this has only served to convince me that given the
terrible cards I was dealt, I am the best version of me.
-Mum. -Hello, darling.
-This is Bea. -Oh, hello, Bea.
-Hi. -Nice to meet you.
-Aren't you a pretty one.
Oh, thank you.
Oh, no, no.
You are determined to mock me at every instance.
Hello.
[Spanish ghost] She was your first love.
-Did you warn him? -Oh, stop it.
[indistinct chatter]
* Here I go Out to sea again *
[woman] A bit shy, isn't he?
* Sunshine fills my hair
* And dreams hang in the air
Cheers.
* Gulls in the sky and in my blue eye *
* You know it feels unfair
* There's magic everywhere
* Look at me standing
* Here on my own again
* Up straight in the sunshine
* No need to run and hide
* It's a wonderful, wonderful life *
* No need to laugh and cry
* It's a wonderful, wonderful life *
* No need to run and hide
* It's a wonderful, wonderful life *
* No need to laugh and cry
* It's a wonderful, wonderful life *
* A wonderful life
So will you marry me?
I can't.
Until you ask my parents first.
Do you take pleasure in showing me brutality?
It's all for a reason
that will become clear to you by the end of the night.
Okay, and make sure that your hair's done.
What? It looks good!
Papa can be very, very difficult to please.
I'll be fine. Everything's perfect,
[skinhead 1] Oi, oi, oi, lads.
[skinhead 2] Look at this, what we got here?
[skinheads jeering]
What you looking at, eh?
* Have courage
* Face the fight
* Don't turn away
* Turn into the light
* Looking up and standing tall *
* Don't turn away
* Don't let them make you fall *
Stop it! Stop it! Shut up. Just shut up!
Just stop.
Stop it.
Are you alright?
That's one-nil to England, boys.
I was fine.
Life goes on.
* So don't let the pain define you *
* As a man who can never return *
* Don't let the pain devour you *
* Face it, embrace it
* And learn
[Bea's father] Our daughter is precious.
This cannot be.
We want her not to struggle like we have,
and marry into a good family, to a good home.
Mr And Mrs Shivan, I did not take this decision lightly.
Yet you have the gall to reject me for having no money,
no family, no status, no property to my name.
I'm going to start my own firm.
Okay, I will return next Christmas
a wealthy businessman
with the money and the means to buy you out
and all the shops in this shabby high street.
[Bea's dad] Is this how you marry somebody's daughter?
Did you not know Bea was watching her dreams crumble?
My intentions were honourable.
They had no right to judge me like that.
There was a time when my family had status in Uganda.
[Fezzywig] Mr Marley, at least glance through it.
I'm afraid, sir, business is business.
And while I'm sure my partner appreciates all that you've
done for him in the past, we're a new company and we
simply cannot afford to take such a big risk on a failed
businessman such as yourself.
Well, if I could just, yeah, speak to Eddie,
-um, Eshaan. Mr Sood. -I'm afraid he's not here.
He's away for the Christmas break.
Well, Mr Fezzywig,
unfortunately that's all I've got time for.
No, no, no, no, Mr Marley.
I'm sorry, sir. Unfortunately I've got nothing...
This man was kind to you when you had nothing.
He welcomed you into his home like a son.
I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
Yes, thank you. Yes, yes.
Thank you very much.
I do hope you enjoy the celebrations.
Yes, I'll do my best.
-Come on, Rachel. -Nice to see you.
Thank you. Happy Christmas.
-Ah, Jason. -Oh yes.
-Come in. How are you? -Very well.
I've been looking through your numbers.
Look, he was a good fellow, but a very bad businessman.
He gave too much away. He died penniless.
He took a chance on you. Rewarded you well.
This is business, spirit.
How could I allow myself to be dragged down like him?
Ah. Thank you.
Jacob Marley. You've still got it! You lying dog.
Oh, got rid of him, didn't I?
Right. Gentlemen. Happy Christmas.
-Happy Christmas. -Not for old Fezzywig, eh?
I do love the festive season.
-So, Jason. -Yes.
What can we do for you?
So, as you see, Mr And Mrs Shivan,
I'm a man of my word.
I return now a respected proprietor
of a London financial services company.
I have ample wealth to keep your daughter in jewels
like these, as well as the finest silks and satins.
I've also bought her a grand house in Hampstead
that has the highest property values in London.
I'll warrant this should complete our unfinished business
and you can now approve your daughter may now be free
to start the privileged life she deserves with me.
This is a freehold property?
[Sood] Bea, come out of the cold.
Why are you crying?
Look, I don't understand.
I came back as promised for your hand.
Now a man of means.
I release you.
What? Release me? Bea. No, Bea.
I had coffee with Rachel Fezzywig.
Well, that's business.
You have replaced your love for me with one that
I can never compete with.
Wait, what are you saying? I've been loyal
and worked so hard to show your parents I'm someone.
Okay? Your parents are happy now for us to marry.
But I'm not.
You are not the man that I knew.
I want a husband that worships me.
You worship money and wealth and status.
Nothing in this world is more odious than poverty.
So why are you judging people like me
who strive to better ourselves?
You spoke of marriage with my father
as a business transaction.
Not once did you talk of love.
No, no, no. You don't see the word like me.
Okay. Money can help us escape.
Escape injustices.
You don't see the world like me.
Yeah, it's unequal.
It's unfair. But you want to hide from it
by looking down on others.
What? No, no. Now you're talking like a fool.
I wish you every happiness in the life that you've chosen.
Go. Go after her. Talk to her, you fool.
Tell her she's wrong.
[Spanish ghost] Is she wrong?
I mean, have you not become everything she said you would?
You take pleasure in my misfortune.
Misfortune, or heartbreak? 'Cause there's a difference.
Success isn't built on looking backwards.
But happiness is.
Enough! This is my life. I am in control.
Now get me out of this bloody nightmare!
Here's one more shadow I have to show you.
No, no more.
Okay. You don't wanna see what happened to your
first and only love.
Look! A snowman!
Bea, a mother.
A grandmother actually. It suits her quite well.
-This is who she married? -Having regrets?
Maybe of never experiencing the warmth of her kisses
or the soft caress of her hands on your face
or the cuddle and comfort of little kids in your later years.
You know, our neighbour's son had a baby.
He used to work for your old beau, Mr Sood.
Well, he fired him on Christmas Eve.
-What? -In fact he fired all the staff.
Without a thought for their families.
They're not going to have much of a Christmas.
You've got to have a heart of stone to do that.
-He wasn't always so heartless. -You dodged a bullet there.
Come on. Ferris wheel!
[boy] Yeah! Dibs the middle.
* What good is history unspoken *
* What good is a lesson unused *
* Your heart isn't missing, it's broken *
* Your soul isn't gone, it's just bruised *
* It's just bruised
* So don't let the pain define you *
* As the man who can never return *
* Don't let the pain devour you *
* Face it, embrace it and learn *
-Are you crying? -Nothing, nothing.
-You okay, baby? -Yeah.
I don't need to see this.
Do you know what this feeling is
-running through your veins? -Enough!
-Remorse.
Let it in. Just let it in.
No, I will not be crushed by you!
I feel no remorse. Do you hear me?
Hello?
[groans]
[birds chirping]
[dawn chorus of birdsong]
[groans weakly]
Barungi.
[drawer closes]
* Who's tha coast to coast * ing
* We preaching karma, just like your mama *
* Life force We the source *
* All night, every day, US to UK, oh yeah *
* Higher spirits, don't you fear it *
* Let me get you a plate We good baby, we ate *
* We about to blow your mind
* Welcome to my party, Sood
* Oh yeah. Come on in and chill *
That's right.
* We've been dancing
* All night long
still *- Oh yes we do *ng
* I'm the ghost of Christmas present *
* Give it up for the ghost
* Now meet my sisters of soul
- *That's right -* That's us
* We say, look around * Hear that sound
* You can see joy all the time *
* If you just know how
* Oh, oh-oh
* Oh, you gotta rise up
* Sing your own song
* Dance your own dreams
* Always believe
* Oh, yeah
* Sing your own song
* Dance your own dreams
* You've gotta rise up -Enough!
Spirit. I do not know if this is
a dream or not, but two things.
One, I am a vegetarian.
Please get rid of all this dead meat.
And two, I'm a teetotaller. No alcohol in this house.
Mm-hmm.
Whatever your reason is to be here.
I do not want to know.
I am exhausted and I am in no mood
for this party of yours.
Oh!
Darling, darling. I love Christmas.
It's the most wonderful time of year.
Not this again.
* Right this second
-* All around the earth - * All around the earth
* There are parties
* Full of merriment and mirth
* Take a look, take a look around you *
* Do you think these people have it all *
* Do they, do they
* No they don't but they all know *
* What you gotta do when you get low *
* You gotta rise up
Christmas is a con.
Big business is selling you crap
you can't afford, you don't need.
You may be right.
God tells us to love and care for all no matter what
-religion your God reps. -Amen.
Do you know much harm is done in this world
in the name of religion?
Facts.
Finally. Finally, a ghost who admits I'm right.
So many of us carry the pain of inequality on every level,
but doesn't that make you want to change the world
and maybe yourself for the better?
There are good people in the world too, who feel the pain
of others wronged, but I believe that humans have the power
-to rise up. -"Rise up", rise up you say.
Can't you see that is what I have done!
I have money.
I have properties, I have status.
Nothing can hurt me now.
So then why are you so unhappy?
* It's easy to hate and discriminate *
* We lose the battle when we take the bait *
* Face your fears
* Can't you hear the pain of your past *
* Which has led you here Treating everyone bad *
* Your scars, they are skin deep *
* But deeper is love
* The keeper is love
* The message is love
* Don't you wanna be love
-* Oh yeah -* Don't you wanna be love
* Oh yeah
* Listen to me, yeah
* You got power too
* So why you want others to hurt the way you do *
* Oh yeah
* Ah ha, to make a change * ance
* Go on and make a change now
* You can make a difference in just a small way *
* When there's a challenge you've got to say *
* Rise up
* People like us, they've been through a lot *
* They carry the weight on their backs, yeah *
* That kind of weight, that kind of hate *
* Can bury us right in our tracks *
* We need all the strength we can get *
* If we're ever gonna win this fight *
* The ones who help others, they rest well *
* Tell me, how do you sleep at night? *
* When you wake up in the morning *
* Do you feel ready to rise
* Rise, rise, rise
* Rise up! Rise up * Find the higher ground
* Don't let hate define who you are *
* Don't let hate define you *
-* Rise up! Rise up -* Make your own sound
* Let them hear you near and far *
-* Find the higher ground
* Find the higher ground
-* Rise up! Rise up -* Make your own sound
* Make them hear you near and far *
* You gotta rise up
* Sing your own song
* Dance your own dream Oh look at me *
* We gotta keep on moving
* Keep on believing
* You gotta rise up
* Sing your own song
* Dance your own dream
-* N -* Hey! e up
Are you done?
Can I go back to bed?
We got some more work to do.
[Sood] Bob lives here with all those kids.
Bob always goes that extra mile for you, right?
More than most.
You pay him peanuts
and yet he still has your back.
[indistinct chatter]
I'll go get some more crackers. Peter, you go get the cutlery.
Let's set the table.
-Okay. I can help. -I'll pour the water.
Oh no, Tim! Tim, are you okay?
Tim, not again.
-You all right, buddy? -I'm fine.
I'll pick him up. You must be hungry, Tim.
It's all right.
-You all right? -Yeah, it's all right.
-Dad's got you. -[Tim] Couldn't control it.
-[Mary] Did it hurt? -Yeah, a little bit.
-[Bob] Brave boy. -You are so brave.
-Thank you. -What's wrong with him?
-Nasty little fall. -You're fine, aren't you.
He suffers from a rare illness.
-You're a strong little kid. -He's got tumours.
No, your brother's fine, kids. Don't worry.
The doctors are trying to treat him,
but it's a race against time.
[Mary] You're absolutely right as rain. Aren't you, Tim?
You do get me worried sometimes.
They've started a fund to see if they can take him
to a specialist in Switzerland.
Is it feeling a bit better?
Yeah.
-Rub it better. -Thanks.
Will he be okay?
[Mary] You'll feel better, Tim, once you've eaten.
Kids, set the table.
Ooh, I think it's ready.
Perfect.
[Sood] It's a small turkey, isn't it?
It's a chicken with yesterday's sell-by date.
Mary was very pleased with her bargain.
Well, Merry Christmas, everyone,
and especially those less fortunate than us
who don't have a feast like ours.
Nor a family as lovely.
God bless Mr Sood, founder of our feast.
Now, why'd you have to go mention that tight-fisted,
-stingy miser for. -Mary. It's Christmas.
Yeah, he's probably having a merry old time somewhere
fancy with all his money.
You know, more than anyone, Bob, that he ain't worth
a single blessing in this house.
I didn't know she held me in such low esteem.
That's on you, boo.
I dunno why you put up with him.
-He gave me my first break. -That's true, I did.
I taught him the contracts. I taught him the books.
Yeah. And he'll always see you as a minion.
You can't even ask for a raise.
Do you know why?
Because he'll say no. And you'll be fired.
-Mum? -No.
It's 'cause I think he's sick.
Mr Sood is sick, Dad?
Anyone that miserable, son, has got to be sick in some way.
But most people, they don't see it.
I think he's depressed.
That's why he acts like he does.
What do you mean, Dad?
What are you talking about, Dad?
* There's a boy inside the man *
* A tiny ancient spark
* Dimmed by wind and rain
* See it flickering through the dark *
* He stamps his feet and makes a scene *
* He is a child alone, marooned *
* But don't just see the way he's mean *
* Look past the wicked, to the wound *
* There's a boy inside the man *
* Much smaller than he seems
* Life has done the worst it can *
* Now while he sees his broken dreams *
* There's a passion burning still *
* A song he can't control
* See the boy inside the man and you will see *
* The Christmas in his soul
* He's the man who's had his fill *
* But whose joy for lifetime stole *
* See the boy inside the man and you will see *
* The Christmas in his soul
* Though he may he be a millionaire *
* It's come at far too high a cost *
* Spent on love that wasn't there *
* Paid in innocence he's lost *
* Seek the diamond in the rock *
* Not the heavy lump of coal
* See the boy inside the man
* And you will see the Christmas in his soul *
* This is a man who time forgot *
* A man of desperate empty spaces *
* A man with weary, broken places *
* Which can't be whole
* Find the boy inside the man and you will find *
* The Christmas in your soul
* When you look to see the goodness *
* Look to see the brightness
* You have to trust that broken places *
* Are made whole
* Find the boy inside the man and you will find *
* Find the boy inside the man and you will feel *
* The Christmas in your soul
-Come here. -[Bob] Love you lot.
-[Mary] Love you. -And Happy Christmas.
-Happy Christmas! -Now let's eat!
Yes.
God bless Mrs Sood, my doctors,
the NHS, my friends and family.
-God bless everyone. -Well said, Tim.
-God bless. -Cheers to that.
Spirit. Tell me.
Will Tim live?
Depends on if things stay the same in the future.
-Surely you can spare him. -Why?
You don't have time for the weak.
You are the one who said, are there no hospitals,
no hostels, no institutions
that could lock the sick and frail away
so that good tax paying citizens like you
are not penalised for their failures?
Stop judging.
Is one rich CEO worth a thousand Tim Cratchits?
Touch my garment.
If you really want to see what people think about you.
[together]
[Raj] I'll tell you what's not right,
it's you and fools like you spending money
you don't have on merriment.
How many times have I told you I do not want to party?
I do not want to take part in excessive drinking and eating.
[laughter]
I don't even know what's so funny.
He doesn't even sound like me.
Come on, Jas!
[Bhangra music]
* He won't wish you a Merry Christmas *
* Uncle Sood says Christmas is a con *
* Uncle Sood won't turn the heating on *
* Uncle Sood is stubborn as a moose *
* Mean old miser, criticiser
* Why is he so grim
* Let us not be hateful
* Let's be grateful we're not him *
[Bhangra in Punjabi]
* Christmas is for family you love *
* Nephews wives or all of the above *
* That much may seem clear to you and me *
* Uncle Sood does not agree
* Listen Sonny, we have money
* That's why she said yes
by our status and success * s,
[Bhangra in Punjabi]
[doorbell rings]
Okay. Hold it one second.
[cheering]
[Malkit Singh sings in Punjabi]
Come on, it's time to move.
-Already? -Yes.
C-Can we go back?
I haven't been to a family party like that since...
Uganda.
That is why I see so little of my nephew.
His presence is a stabbing reminder of what I lost.
He doesn't know that. All he sees is your rejection of him.
He is young and in love.
Soon this world will teach him cynicism over love.
I can't deny the memories of your past,
but you will heal if you can see the other side too.
There were many Africans killed in Uganda
under that same president,
and you were lucky enough to get out alive and now
many are being welcomed back to rebuild the country of
their birth together, unified by their love of the land.
Um, maybe, but it's too late.
My father, my sister, they can never see that.
But you can, can't replace the pain,
but justice served can ease the burden of those memories.
How can you say that?
Both of us have endeared slurs and beatings
because of how we look.
There are many who do not share our colour, but carry the shame
of our scars, embarrassed by the foolishness of their own people.
Look to yourself, find forgiveness.
You are naive.
Why should I do the forgiving? Hm?
* What are you so afraid of
* The life that you once knew
* Can you even reach where you're running to *
* The thing you run from is you *
Oh, are you the last ghost
that Marley said will come?
Are you the ghost of Christmas future?
[man] Did you hear about Sood?
[man 2] I mean, what have you heard?
[woman] Well, I heard apparently he was all alone.
I know as much as you do. He's history.
Kaput. Gone.
Strong coco latte with hazelnut.
When did he die?
Got my grande flat white, oat milk?
[man] Last night, I think. Heart attack.
I asked for almond milk.
I thought you said coconut.
Listen, I hope we get our back fees.
There's always a struggle to get those invoices paid.
Well, what's he done with all his money?
Who knows? I mean, I made him millions in stock and bonds.
Well, sadly, you'll not see any of it now.
-Yeah. Well, neither will you. -Nor Sood.
What a plonker.
[all laugh]
Knowing him.
I bet it's gonna be a cheap funeral.
[thunder rumbling]
No!
I die all alone. How pitiful.

Thanks.
Thank you.
Thanks.

Bob, I can fix it. I can fix this.
No, I can fix, I can, I can give Bob a raise.
I could, I could--
I could send him to Switzerland for treatment.
I could... We can save the boy!
I am sorry, Bob.

No, no, no.

No, I want to live!

It's Christmas day of course.
Yes. I haven't missed it.

Yes. But please don't shout at us.
Shout at you?
Of course I'm gonna shout at you.

I'm so happy to see you.
Even on Christmas day, you come to take care of me.
[scoffs] What does it matter? We are Hindus.
Now, Christmas day, any other day.
It does matter. It does matter.
Mrs Joshi, it's a holiday for us all.
You must go home, spend the day with your family.
I have never felt better.
But before you go, I have something for you.
Stale Matis?
How long have these been in here?
Take these Matis for every Christmas, every Diwali,
every birthday gift you should have received from me.
Are you sure you're not sick?
Let me show you.
Are those diamonds?
A wise woman from Uganda taught me that trick.
She said, "Work hard, be someone."
And today I intend on being that someone.
I'm going to share everything I have with those who need it.
Aha.
So go.
Go.
Spend the day with your family!
Merry Christmas!

Do you hear? How many times have I told you
not to spoil Bobo like this?
Oh, that's all I need, another lecture.
Why don't you go inside and help your mother pack
up the Christmas stock? Tidy up.
Okay.
You were right.
I lost money
on the Christmas stock.
-How much? -Too much.
Will you sell it all to me?
What for half price? 'Cause I don't have any choice.
I'll pay you 10 times the cost.
Now listen, here, I have to make a living. And...
What?
In fact, how much for everything in the shop?
Snacks, sweets, drinks, everything.
Are you okay?
I want to buy everything so you
have nothing left to sell today.
Pack up the Christmas gifts, the toys, the chocolates
and then shut the shop and spend your day with your family.
[Bobo whines]
Oh, what a cute doggy.
Yay! Hahaha!
* To make our world better
* Regardless of creed
* All your neighbours and those who are in need *

-Oh, you again. -For last night.
Thank you.
A tip I should have given you.
Now I have some urgent errands to run.
Can you take me or do you have to get back to your family?
Well, me smoke alarm's gone off 10 times indoors already.
-So, uh, jump in. -Let's go.
[cabbie] Yeah, there you go. Get the old bags up.
Beautiful.
-Put it on! -That's the one he wanted.
-Yeah. -That's a great gift.
-Astronaut Tim. -[doorbell rings]
I'll go.
That's a bit weird.
You should try them on.
Shall I help you?
[Bob] So where are you gonna fly?
Do you have to go to work, Dad?
-Work? -It's your boss.
-[sighs] -Don't you dare get up, Bob.
Well, there must be something wrong.
I'm warning you.
You deserve one day away from that tight-fisted, miser.
He does indeed, Mrs Cratchit.
[Mary] Come here, kids.
But not just one day. The rest of his life.
Are you telling me he's fired?
As my clerk? Yes.
But as my business partner, no!
Business partner?
20 times your current salary
and extra holidays
and... stay right here.
What's happening?
Yay!
Oh my God.
Whoa. There's so many presents.
-Posh hot chocolate. -Thank you very much.
And posh hot chocolates?
Mr S. I don't know what to say.
A simple Merry Christmas will do.
I am so grateful for everything that you have done for me.
Oh, Mrs Cratchit.
For Tim's Swiss fund. From Bob's health benefits.
He's earned it.
Oh my God, Bob.
Oh, I haven't had a hug like that
since I was a boy in Africa.
I give the best hugs.
Oh, and this is for the staff. Overdue Christmas bonuses.
They're all rehired.
I am much obliged.
Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas. Colin!
-Merry Christmas. -Let's go.
Wish him a Happy Christmas.
Happy Christmas, Mr S.

[in English] You called me after 50 years?
Thank you for coming, my dearest.
You know what I want?
* There's a boy inside the man *
* Much wiser than he seems
* Life has done the worst it can *
* Now he's free to live his dreams *
* There's a passion burning still *
* A song he can't control
* Now the boy inside the man has come to find *
* The Christmas in his soul
Just a little bit.
* Even a man whom time forgot
* A man of desperate empty spaces *
* A man with weary broken places *
* Can be made whole
* And when you look to see the brightness *
* Trust in simple goodness
* Then in lonely darkness you will see *
* The kindness in your soul *
* And the boy inside the man is free to find *
* The Christmas in his soul
* In his soul

* Crowded room, friends with tired eyes *
[song mainly in Hindi]
* And your soul of ice
