Antonio agrees to install the unit on Friday and tells Ben he will be picking it up on Monday morning. On Saturday, minutes before the start of the final, the pub is packed but the television screen goes blank.

In the meantime, all of Ben's customers have left and most of his drink and food is unsold.
