[04:20.83]every year on holiday to stay with his uncle,who lived in Tunis.

[05:57.90]The problem was,I lost everything when I came here.
[06:04.56]I didn't have enough money to study and I needed to support my wife and children.
[06:13.21]To begin with,I worked in two different places-
[06:19.87]I did cleaning jobs during the day and at night I worked in a pizza take-away.

[10:00.03]There's so much crime16 and violence17.
[10:04.71]It's not safe to go out at night.
[10:08.78]We have crime here too,you know.
[10:12.73]Oh yes.Several tourists have disappeared18 recently.
[10:19.21]The police think they've been murdered.
[10:23.65]They found one girl dead near here.
[10:27.91]Oh,yes? Well,I'm sure I'll be all right.
[10:34.28]I don't think it can be that dangerous.
[10:38.43]Maybe not.Do you have anywhere to stay,by the way?
[10:44.28]No,I'm just going to try to find a place when I get there.
[10:49.85]Well,why don't you stay at my guest house?

[11:06.67]So do you run the place on your own?
[11:10.93]More or less.My mother owns the place,
[11:16.00]but she's old now and she can't do very much.
[11:21.25]Ah,here's my car.
[11:25.64]Shall I put my bag in the back of the car?
[11:29.76]Er...no,there's something in there already.
[11:35.33]Just put it on the back seat.
[11:38.98]You can move those clothes and the big knife,just put them on the floor.
[11:45.44]They're dirty anyway.
