okay so 6 or so hours later more details have to come to light and things are spiralling out of control at a rapid rate.
first of all Denzel has a previous arrest for GBH which he served time in prison for.
part of the stipulations of his release was on the condition he wasn't involved in any future violence.
should Chaudri use that against Denny however his argument is gonna fall flat because Chaudri already proudly admitted to the police all the antagonization he's been giving Denzel over the past 4 weeks and basically Chaudri gonna look like an idiot in the courtroom when they play the tapes to the jury.
as for Chaudri being an illegal immigrant there's a 2 fold caveat to that in that A, should he marry Denzel's mom he would become a legal immigrant, and B, since we
went to war in Iran and the guy is Iranian thanks to some nifty political laws he can't legally be deported until the war is over.
However, as it turns out, Chaudri is in fact on police records as a criminal on the run so eventually he's gonna have to go to court back in Iran anyway.
Turns out Chaudri was due to be married and as a legal agreement the groom's family i.e. Chaudri's relatives were to give a sum of money to the bride's family via money paid into Chaudri's account.
However on the family paying the money into Chaudri's bank account, Chaudri withdrew the money and disappeared to the UK where he's been in hiding all this time.
Now Denzel doesn't want Chaudri to be deported and remembering that Chaudri said he has some money stored away told the police that Chaudri must still have the lion's share of the cash hidden somewhere.
So the cops searched Chaudri's house and his former residence nearer the coast and found nothing so they went to Chaudri and asked where the money was.
Chaudri said "can you relay a message to Den." to which the police refused so instead he said "then tell my friend <wishes to remain anonymous> to get the money.".
So the police go to <wishes to remain anonymous> and ask him and he's like "what money? i don't know what he's talking about. did he ask for anyone else?".
The police say "
, his assailant." and <wishes to remain anonymous> says "the he knows where the money went.".
So the cops ask Denzel and he's like "i don't know about any money." and Nancy says "remember when the old town shut down a few months ago and everyone put money into a big pot to put in a trust fund for the people who have no jobs now?".
So the police ask Chaudri and he's like "
, that's where the money went." and the police are kinda annoyed that he didn't
say that directly to them.
so Denzel is like "if we pay off the debt Chaudri owes his fiancé's family, then maybe we can get them to drop the charges so Chaudri doesn't have to appear in court and get deported.".
and Nancy's like "though if we use the money from the trust fund then where are the people of the town going to get their wages from since it's a lockdown and they can't work?".
and Denzel's like "they can stay here at the farm where we can carefully ration the resources they use.".
and the farmer is like "where are they going to go? the farmhouse is already crowded.".
and Denzel is like "we'll
build onto one of the fields.".
and the farmer is like "how are we going to grow enough crops to pay for their stay idiot?".
and me the avid Minecraft player I'm like "build an extensive bedroom UNDER the field. There's no water mains, gas pipes, electrical cables or sewage tunnels under the field because it leads away from the urban area.".
amazed at my brilliant idea they go to Eugene (the petrologist) to ask how to build it since he's used to digging tunnels.
Eugene says "you can take the wooden slats from the side of the house and stick them together to make beams and use old feed bags from the animals to construct a waterproof canvas for the walls, floor and ceiling.".
the farmer's like "so what are the house's walls gonna be made of?".
and Eugene's like "you still have the inner walls and they are already sealed because they're plastered. pack soil up against them to replace the outer wall.".
so the farmer says "we don't have enough feed bags to build a bedroom big enough.".
Denzel's like "well not at the moment though if we keep at it adding bit by bit then we'll have constructed it by the time the wages in the trust fund wears out.".
so they start digging away at the plaster in the basement and suddenly Eugene's like "STOP! That's Roman brick!".
at which point the farmer is confused like "this is a modern building. i know when they built this basement. it's not that old".
and Eugene
plains "when they dug the basement it must have had roman ruins beneath it and they
reused the bricks and never told anyone.".
so Eugene says "we're gonna have to get archaeologists in here. there's probably untouched ruins on the other side of that wall.".
so the farmer's like "where are we gonna put the people then?".
and Eugene's like "a dig normally takes a couple of weeks to a month. after the archaeologists are gone we'll still have some time though it will be a smaller bedroom. We can use the wood to convert the beds we have into bunk beds for the people left over. some will have to share a bed.".
and then Eugene pauses and thinks "there is one problem though. The archaeologists will have to dig from the top so they'll have to wait until the crops are collected before they can start digging.".
and the farmer's like "though that gives us no time at all to build it.".
and Eugene's like "not if we get all the villagers to help.".
and Denzel's like "IF, and it's a big if, we can trust all the villagers to
properly and not have the ceiling come down on our heads and bury us all in heavy wet clay soil.".
