Being Human (2008–2013): Season 2, Episode 6 - In the Morning - full transcript
Lucy cannot bring herself to kill Mitchell and tells Kemp, whose hatred of vampires is seen to stem from the fact that a trio of them killed his family when he was a young vicar in 1972. George starts to make a home with Sam but Molly discerns he has a secret. Annie strays into an old theatre and sees Alan Cortez, a washed-up medium who has lost his psychic powers. She assembles a team of ghosts to tell their loved ones the truth - which also enables the ghosts to pass over. She is amazed to see her mother, Carmen, in the audience and allows Carmen to achieve closure by knowing that her daughter wants her to stop grieving. Acting on information from a reluctant Lucy, Kemp dynamites the mortuary in which Mitchell and the other vampires are meeting.
I'm going to ask Sam and Molly
to move in with me. No. No? No!
My name is Ivan. I'm a blood addict.
None of us are killers now.
Sure you are.
A job, a wife,
and a house full of children.
Well, you can still have all that,
can't you?
I can't do it alone. Please.
Save me.
I think I just moved out of my house.
Why? Because I want to be with you.
Before he was given up to a death he
freely accepted, he broke the bread...
and gave it to his disciples,
saying,
"Take this, all of you,
and eat it... "
This is my body...
which will be given up for you.
When supper was ended, he took the cup
and gave it to his disciples, saying...
Where are you?
"Take this, all of you,
and drink from it.
"This is the cup of my blood,
"the blood of the new
and everlasting covenant.
"It will be shed for you
so that sins may be forgiven. "
Reverend?
Reverend Kemp? Do you need a lift?
No. I'm all right, thanks. I've
got the car with me tonight. "Car"?
You could be sued under
the Trades Description Act.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you need
to work on some new material.
Stop screaming, bitch!
Come on!
Do it now!
Maria?
The window! Go! Come on, leave!
It's going to be all right.
It's OK...
'And whosoever eats my flesh...
'.. and drinks my blood
will live forever. '
Hey.
Hey.
Come back to bed. Look, I'm on an early
shift. Oh, come on, please. Please.
Mitchell, I'm gonna be late.
Look, I know how difficult
and confusing all this must be.
Yeah. Lucy... Look...
We will talk about this later.
I promise. OK.
# You know, my darling
I can't stand to sleep alone
# No sweetheart in the dark
to call my own
# You're my own, you're my own
I can sing it, I can groan
# Darkness is a stranger
And I'm lonely, lonely, lonely, low
# Last night's parties
and last night's horror show... #
Forgive me, Almighty God.
# Smiling and whirling and kissing
all I know... #
Cleanse me of my sins.
Cleanse me, Almighty God.
Cleanse me of my sins
and make me holy, Almighty God.
Amen.
# Lonely, lonely, lonely
# Cos Mama told me
# The dream of love
Is a two-hearted dream... #
Are you having a breakdown
or something, is that it?
No. But I think you might be.
Oh, how dare you!
Oh, my God, did you
just throw that at me?
It slipped. So what are you? Just flinging
crockery around like a common poltergeist?
Did you just call me a poltergeist?
Mitchell! Mitchell, listen to this.
This is classic, this is.
Go on, say it to Mitchell, go on.
Say it again, go on. Say it... I will
if you'd shut up for a millisecond!
Mitchell. Uh-huh?
Sam and I are viewing a house today.
Ha!
What do you make of that?
He has to view houses,
he's moving out.
Oh, yeah, yeah. No, right.
Take his side. You two are just so...
gay for each other.
Annie, I don't understand.
I thought you were fine with this.
Come here, you big silly bear.
I was fine with this,
when I thought this was a notion.
But now you're out viewing actual, proper,
non-imaginary houses. You thought it was a notion?
Yes. George, I didn't think you would seriously go
through with it. I thought the moment would just pass.
You know, like when you decided
you were gonna wear skinny jeans.
Skinny jeans?
That was a private conversation.
Seriously?
It was a moment of madness.
No, George.
This is a moment of madness.
You can't just move in with someone
that you've just started dating. It's...
Tell him, Mitchell!
Skinny jeans, George?
Oh, all right, Mitchell. OK. Listen,
where the hell were you last night?
I was with Lucy. We, er...
we finally, um...
You know.
Decided to, em... Oh, this is like
the problem pages of Just 17.
You had sex, Mitchell. Sex. Yeah.
That's great, Mitchell. Yeah, yeah.
It kind of was, actually.
I'm really happy for you. Oh, thanks, mate. Oh,
it's fine. Why don't you two just snog each other?
I know you don't...
Just snog each other!
I don't want him to go either. Then
don't let him. We can't keep him prisoner.
We do have a cage.
What? Annie!
We will still see each other.
I will visit.
I will visit all the time.
Won't be the same though, will it?
Will it?
Yeah. Didn't think so.
I hate it when she does that.
She's right, though.
It's sort of... the end of an era.
I'm not surprised she's upset. This place
was our home, you know. Without us...
.. it's just a haunted house again.
Us?
You're not going anywhere, Mitchell.
No, I mean, not yet, but... I don't
know. I might have plans in the future.
Do these future plans include Lucy?
I really hope so.
Yeah.
Anyway, I'll see you later, man.
Yeah.
Oh, atmospheric!
Welcome, everyone.
I am Alan Cortez, Master Medium,
and this is my Psychic Experience.
Welcome, all.
I am Alan Cortez.
I, like my ancestors before me, have been blessed
with the unique gift with the ability to...
to contact and communicate
with the afterlife.
Prepare to have your doubts silenced
and your questions answered.
Prepare to be amazed.
It's really great. Can we just have a little
look around on our own again for a minute?
I'll be outside. Take your time.
Thanks a lot, cheers.
I love it. I really love it. And the
rent's really reasonable, don't you think?
Considering the size of the place.
And a garden, George.
A proper garden!
Yeah, it's great. It's really great.
It's so great.
It's so, so, so great.
And it's available now! What?
Now? No, no, as in... Today? Now?
As in right here, right now?
Someone else will have moved in by the time
you finish that sentence. What's the problem?
Don't you think it's
a little far out?
It's, like, half an hour from town.
I tell you what, I'd really rather
be a little bit closer to my friends.
By friends you mean Mitchell?
Er, I have other friends.
George, we're moving in together.
A whole new life.
Things are gonna change.
If you're not ready for that then...
I am.
I am so ready.
I am 100 per cent. I am ever ready.
Let's do it. Let's take it.
Yeah? Yeah! Yeah. Yes!
Yes! Ha ha! Woo-hoo!
Oh, Molly.
We should get a dog.
We should get a dog! A small dog!
Ha-ha! Woo-hoo! Molly! High-five!
I'm sorry.
I wasn't strong enough.
I thought I was.
I thought I could do it. But I
can't. I can't kill another person.
He's not a person, Professor. They're not people.
I know. I know, and I keep telling myself that.
I'm so frightened.
Of what? Of them?
Of him?
Of myself.
It's understandable
that you're confused.
The Devil was designed
for temptation.
He can be charming and clever
and exciting.
And Mitchell can be
those things too,
because he was made in the Devil's
image, just as you were made in God's.
But you must remain strong.
I know.
But sometimes...
I want to surrender to it.
Then you must fight it!
Declare war on it.
If we're weak, then we allow
the Devil to seduce us.
God is disappointed
and we will be punished severely.
A day of wrath is that day.
A day of darkness and gloom.
"I will bring distress
"upon men...
"For they have sinned
against the Lord,
"and their blood
will be poured out like dust".
Help me.
I want
to fight it.
I shall help you.
I shall show you the way.
I shall tell you what you must do.
It's just that he, um...
he left. So... Who is this? Simon.
He's your son?
(Give me a break.) No, Simon, my
husband. My late husband. Yeah.
I just want to know
that he's all right.
Yeah, yeah.
Er... Yep.
Yeah, he's... he's doing all right.
He's in a good place. He wants me
to tell you he's content.
Is Tiny there too?
Is...?
Tiny.
His Yorkshire Terrier?
Don't help him! Simon's surrounded by
his friends and family and little...
little Timmy's lying on his feet.
Tiny. Tiny, Timmy, whatever. Yep.
Dog's up there.
And he's very, very happy. She?
No, not Tiny. Tiny's not happy.
I mean Simon's very happy.
Why's Tiny not happy?
He is. She!
Oh, er, wait. He's leaving us. He's
fading, he's fading and he's gone.
Now, er... Am I sensing
another spirit somewhere else?
There's been one sat here
for 40 minutes, you giant twat.
I'm gonna have to ask you
to keep it down.
Me?
You can see me? I can see you.
I could also hear you from
backstage. How? You were shouting.
No, I mean how can... And you're sitting
in the wrong seats. Follow me, please.
Wait. I don't understand. Sssh!
How can...?
You're a ghost!
Of course I'm a ghost.
What did you think I was?
An usher! Come on.
A fella up there, with the...
the white shirt. Christmas 1998.
Faulty panto pyrotechnic.
One minute I'm standing in the wings watching
Widow Twankey belt out a chorus of "La Vida Loca",
the next? Bang!
Flat out on my back with every hair
on my body standing to attention.
Gosh, that's awful.
It was a terrible shock. Oh,
I bet it was. No, I mean literally.
It was a terrible shock.
That's what killed me.
The coroner said it was as if
I'd been struck by lightning.
Here we are.
The cheap seats. This thing's a heap
of shit, Robin... Do they live here?
No. But when a psychic rolls into town,
we get a good few ghosts back here.
You throw the term "psychic"
around pretty loosely.
No, Alan was amazing, he really was.
Then one year he just started
ignoring us. He stopped engaging.
I don't know why.
What's happened to you, Alan?
Jesus Christ!
Why aren't you listening to us, hmm?
Why aren't you
passing on our messages?
Why are you up there on a stage
lying to people? Is someone here?
Bingo. Who are you? What do you want?
I want you to start listening to these
poor souls, Alan, that's what I want. Alan!
Can you hear that?
See, they need you, Alan.
I don't understand.
You can't hear them
any more, can you?
Thank you. You too.
Oh, so anyway, it is the 27th.
The 27th? There's no need to sound
so freaked out, George.
It's a parent-teachers evening.
It's not a big deal.
It would just mean a lot to me if you could
be there. Ah. But is it definitely the 27th?
Mm-hm. That's plenty of
warning though, isn't it?
Sorry Sam, it's just I have this
thing planned. It's a planned thing.
What is?.. Erm, it's a work thing.
It's about every month or so.
In Liverpool.
Training.
Training?
You're a hospital porter, George.
Sport training. Sport?
You?
Yes, me. Sport what's so...?
I'm on a sports team.
It's toboggan.
Did you just say toboggan? Yep.
Yes, I did.
Right, so you and Mitchell?
You toboggan? In Liverpool?
Yeah. We are tobogganists.
Oh, can't you cancel it this once?
Can... Cancel? No-o. Very big, big,
huge championship coming up, so...
Oh, well... Well, it doesn't matter.
OK, come on.
Two years ago I was doing
this show in Newcastle.
Mmm.
They let the kid doing work
experience operate the smoke machine.
He didn't know when to stop.
It was like a scene from Backdraft.
I couldn't see where I was going
so I walked off the fucking stage.
Oh, no. Right off it.
I woke up the next day in a hospital bed with eight
stitches, short term memory loss and no sixth sense.
The knock must have
switched something off
because from that day until this,
I haven't heard a ghost.
Oh, until I showed up.
Until you showed up.
That's why I've had to pretend.
Back then I would pray
that they would stop.
Now that's finally happened,
and I'm praying they come back.
I hope you don't mind me just...
'Course not.
I tried ringing your phone. I was
in theatre so... Ah, of course.
You've killed people. Not any more.
"Not any more"?
Do you know how insufficient that
sounds? You have KILLED people!
You could be my salvation.
Don't think so.
Don't say that.
It's your world, Mitchell.
It's in every cell.
You can't just... change.
I can. You're not strong enough. It finds
you. It always finds you. Not this time.
Why? What's so different this time?
I have you.
It's a struggle, I can't lie.
It'll always gonna be a struggle.
But I can do this.
How?
I'll leave them. They'll follow you.
I'll tell them I'm finished with
them, all of them. When?
What?
When will you tell them?
I'll call a meeting tomorrow night
at the funeral parlour.
I'll see you later.
It's done.
Mitchell's gonna call a gathering.
When? Tomorrow night
at the funeral parlour.
Did he say how many of them?
Hi.
Hey.
What are you up to?
I'm just packing up some things.
Sam and I are gonna stay in the...
You can say it, George.
I'm not gonna cry or anything.
We've found a new house and
we're gonna stay there tonight.
Oh, God.
Annie, are you OK?
Yes, George, I am fine.
I'm fine, it's just that...
What are you looking for?
My bloody phone charger.
Oh, that's in the oven.
Really? Oh, right. Cheers.
What?
When you said you were viewing
houses, I started to hide your stuff.
Why? I thought the more of your stuff I hid,
then the longer it would take you to leave.
Right, how much stuff are we talking about, roughly?
George, I'm sorry about earlier. It's just...
I like it, just the three of us,
it's us against the world.
I don't want to be against the
world any more. It gets so tiring.
I want to be part of it.
We're all so scared of
what might happen out there.
And huddle together here
somehow makes us less afraid.
But do you know what?
I am ready to be scared.
I can't let this thing
own me any more.
You might have a point, George.
Red Robin, this is A1.
Can you let me know when you have FOH clearance
please? Over. Should be about 20 minutes.
Properly. Over.
This is Red Robin.
We will have Front of House clearance
in 20 minutes approximately. Over.
I don't think your heart's really in this, Red
Robin. Over. Maybe because it's stupid. Over.
How's it stupid? Over.
Because I'm stood right next to you.
Besides they don't even work.
They're not connected to anything.
Well, you're just determined to pick
holes in this operation, aren't you?
Alan! Alan! Alan!
OK, all right, yes, calm down,
settle down, thank you.
Can I have your attention please?
Right, shut up or Alan's out of here!
Jesus, pipe down!
Sorry.
Why are you even doing this?
Because I need to get out more.
It won't work.
Listen Alan, I'm helping you whether
you like it or not, so just...
Deal with it.
OK. As some of you already know, Alan here,
has been suffering from severe psychic blockage.
So we're going to have to do all that we can
to get him through this very difficult time.
So let's pull together
and let's make this work. OK?
You're with me, lovely, thank you.
So how are you gonna decide who
goes first?
By using a very fair
and democratic process.
I am Alan Cortez.
Welcome to my Psychic Experience.
Eenie, meenie, minie, moe...
Now I'm,
I'm sensing a spirit.
If he squeals let him go.
Who's calling me?
Eenie, meenie, mi-nie...
Who do we have?
Moe. Yes!
Someone's coming through.
Do we have a name?
Jimmy.
I'm getting a Jimmy.
Who are you looking for, Jimmy?
My wife Orla.
He would like to speak to his wife
Orla.
OK. Jimmy would like to
speak to his wife, Orla.
Do we have an Orla? That's me!
That-that's me.
That's my Jimmy. Welcome.
You're sure? Oh, yeah.
Erm, Alan?
Jimmy has a pretty serious message for her.
Er, apparently she's getting married again.
Jimmy says you're getting
married again, Orla. Yeah.
Well, well that's why I'm here,
really. Cos I
I just wanted to check that...
he was all right with it.
I'm not. Oh, he says he's not.
Yeah...
He wants you to know...
that he's not.
He's what?
He's not OK with it.
- And why the fuck would that be?
- Because apparently her new boyfriend's a massive tosser.
And a sponger... And a sponger.
Because your new man
is a massive tosser and a sponger.
Allegedly.
Why can't he just be happy for me?
Shh! Well, you know he died in that
car accident, not me. I'm still here!
You died in a car accident?
You tell that slapper I knew she was shagging
him while I was still alive. Everyone knew.
Tell the truth, Orla.
Or at least admit it!
I mean, what have you come down here
for? Playing the fucking innocent!
Shut up! You come down here for,
playing the innocent?
I'm serious, no-one
gets to dodge out of it.
This is very important to me, Ivan.
Yeah.
I don't want to get into it right now. Look, I'll
explain tonight, I'd just rather do it in person.
Look, you just spread the word, OK? I want
everyone there. Just, just leave it to me.
I've got most of them on my Twitter
feed so it'll be all right, OK?
OK, talk to you later. Got to go.
Speak to you later. OK, bye.
Yeah? Hi.
I'm so sorry to bother you.
I'm from Avon and Somerset Energy.
Uh-huh?
We've had reports of a gas leak.
I'm afraid we're going
to have to clear the premises.
I wouldn't bother.
They're all dead in there.
Get away from her!
I don't even know why
it matters any more.
I don't know why it means so much.
But it's all that I think about.
It just keeps racing round and round
in me head and for some reason...
I'd really like it if she was to...
OK.
Do you know, Jimmy, leave it with me.
Erm, Alan,
he just needs to hear her admit it.
Jimmy needs to hear you
admit it, Orla.
He needs to hear you admit
to the affair.
He was right. It's true.
And I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry, Jimmy.
It's about time.
Oh, Jimmy.
Bye.
Please. Please just
make sure he knows how sorry I am.
I do.
Oh, he does. He does.
Jimmy?
Thank you.
Alan, he's gone.
And now he's finally
managed to move on.
Thank you. Thank you. Well done.
Well done.
I'm sensing another presence.
So.
Your table is almost completed.
Yeah, if you say so.
Attach B9 to A5.
B9 to a bloody bollocking bollocks
piece of Scandinavian shit.
Bollocks, absolute shit tat,
bloody bollocking...
Hello, George.
Hey there.
Um... I'm just...
Your mum asked me to...
Where, where is your mum?
She's upstairs unpacking, George. Do
you know what I did today, George?
Why do you keep saying my name?
When I went back to school, I looked up some stuff
on the computer. Tobogganing is such a cool sport.
Yeah... Well... I love it.
Do you use a Katana sleigh
or a Tanto?
Er... well...
I've used both. Really?
Mmm, but I much prefer the, er,
the Tanto, because, er, well,
because, Molly, it's faster.
It's a type of Samurai sword,
George.
Samu... What?
A Tanto is a type of Samurai sword.
So is a Katana.
Oh, you tricked me. I knew you were
lying. Mum might have believed you, but...
And I love Mum...
But if she was in my class, I have a
feeling she'd be on the yellow table.
And the yellow table is?
It's not good, George.
It's not good at all.
Who's next?
Right, eenie, meenie, minie, moe.
Catch a tiger by his toe... Annie!
I can't believe you're going
on tour with Alan! Yeah, I know.
It's a bit scary, really. Good scary.
But you know I can't stay stuck
here forever, can I?
No, I know. I've been here
for over a decade.
Well, look, why don't you come with
us, Robin? No. There's not much point.
He can't hear me. I'm not like you.
I haven't got your confidence.
Bloody aerial.
It did this earlier as well.
'Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. I am
Alan Cortez... Whose turn is it, Annie?
'and this is my Psychic Experience. '
Annie?
Annie? Who's next?
Already I'm sensing a presence.
Who are you?
Do I have a name?
Annie?
Annie!
Yeah.
Who am I looking for first?
Carmen.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have someone
who wants to make contact with Carmen.
Do we have a Carmen in the house?
Anyone?
There's the lady down there,
could she have a microphone please?
Is there someone in particular you're
hoping to get a message from, Carmen?
Erm...
Well, I suppose I...
God, this is insane.
Take your time. It's all right.
Yes.
My daughter.
Don't tell me.
Your daughter's name is...
It's me.
She's here for me.
That's my mum.
Your daughter's name was... Annie.
Is there something
you'd like to ask Annie?
I just...
Well, I don't even know what I want
to hear. I don't know what would help.
I mean losing a child is a...
It's a unique kind of pain. It's...
The pain is...
spectacular.
But you know what? If you told me
that you could take that pain away...
I'm not sure that I'd want you to,
because...
it's... it's all I've got left.
I want to feel that pain
and I deserve to feel that pain.
Because I should have known.
She was my little girl.
And I should've known
that she was in danger.
I should've known
that she was scared.
Because I'm her mum,
and I really should've known.
I don't know what to say.
Don't hurt her.
Or if you have to hurt her,
do it once, do it now.
Leave.
Molly! My Dad hurt her.
He told lies, too.
I would never hurt your mum, Molly.
It's just that...
I have this secret, which means
sometimes I need to distance myself.
And I'm worried that if she finds
out, she won't want me anymore.
She'll think that I'm... What?
A freak.
A boy in my class has
six toes on one foot.
Is it something like that?
Yeah. I suppose it is a bit.
You can tell her.
I can't. I'm too scared to take the
risk. She loves you, George.
No matter what.
Well, I'm gonna go watch
my Hannah Montana DVD, so...
Molly?
Thanks.
Right.
P5 to A9. Come on you fucker!
I'm sure you know why I've
gathered you all here today.
Well, you don't know why
because I've just...
I had a little chat with, er... Oh!
I've something that I
want to say to all of you.
Everybody, everybody here that...
Oh... balls!
Erm... This isn't easy.
This isn't easy for... for... for me.
I'm out. I'm out.
I'm glad you came.
She's here, Carmen.
Seeing you seemed to silence her.
But she's here.
No, I shouldn't have come.
I'm sorry, I've made a mistake.
I'm not lying. I hope you are lying.
I hope you are, Alan. Because otherwise
what you're telling me is my daughter,
my dead daughter, is in this
room and she can't speak to me.
She can speak to you, she can speak to
total strangers, but not to me, her mum.
Look, Carmen...
When I was... when I was seven,
they showed us how to
make these on Blue Peter.
Anything I made before that always
ended in a disaster. But these I...
I mastered. Annie used to
make hundreds of those things.
I'm sure that it drove her mad.
But she never stopped me.
I always used to love them.
Annie!
Oh, my God. There's so
much I need to say to you.
I've spent every day missing you.
I've spent everyday thinking
about you, speaking about you.
I know people think I'm mad.
I mean, your dad he thinks I'm mad.
He wouldn't say it, obviously,
but I can see it in his eyes.
And he keeps saying things like "You
should go out more, maybe you should work. "
You know, he wants me to do
normal things.
Like anything could ever
be normal again, I mean...
But, Mum, you can't live your life
like that. You're holding on.
She thinks you need to let go.
She's my daughter for God's sake.
How can I let go?
Yes, I am your daughter
and I love you, very, very much.
But that is why I want
you to live your life.
Stop torturing yourself.
It's important to her, Carmen.
Please, Mum, there is something
I really think you should do.
I've been so afraid of this place.
I just thought if I came here
this would become
my last memory of you.
And somehow,
your face and your eyes
and your laugh
would be replaced by this.
But I still have you.
I do still have you, don't I?
You will always have me, Mum.
So I'm going to try.
I'm really going to try.
Bye, Mum.
The time is almost upon us.
It is.
We should prepare ourselves.
Lord, we thank you
for this opportunity
of doing thy work.
How you supposed to
bloomin' unlock this door then?
Chris and new landlord Jeff have
agreed that a temporary arrangement...
Mum? >
Oi! What's wrong?
Sssh!
Mum! >
Coming, sweetheart.
Mum! Mum, please! >
It's OK, it's OK. I'm here.
It's OK. Hey, hey, hey. There you go.
Everything OK? I had a bad dream.
Oh! About you.
A bad dream about George?
Well, he was George,
but it wasn't George.
Oh! Well, we'll read you a lovely
story and you can go back to sleep.
And I was calling his name
but he just stared back.
His eyes were dark. They looked right
through me... They looked inside me.
Here we go.
I can't come on the road with you,
Alan.
I know.
Speaking to my mum
and telling her that she
had to move on, well, it just made me
realise what a hypocrite I was being.
If I come away with you
then I'd just be running away.
It won't be the same without you.
What will you do?
Without an interpreter, I mean.
Do you think Robin
would be any good?
How do you know about Robin?
I heard her.
They're coming back, Annie.
They're taking their time,
but they're coming back.
Hi. Hiya. Hello.
Well, I think Robin will
be an excellent choice.
She did learn from
the master, after all.
But what are you going to do?
I think it's time to go.
So you take it easy.
Be nice to the ghosts.
Talking to someone you've lost...
You don't know
what a big deal that is.
Bye, Alan.
Hello.
Hi.
Are we late?
No. Come in, come in, come in.
There you are. It's cold isn't it?
Take a drink.
Only alcohol tonight I'm afraid,
none of the hard stuff.
Lord I acknowledge thee.
All creation was made for thee.
Exorcise thy thoughts...
Mitchell! Hey.
How are you doing man?
Ivan... Ivan... Can I have a word?
Yes?
He's just gone inside, sir.
Professor. It's time. He's early.
Does it matter?
Others may still arrive.
Look, this was your plan.
And do you know? It's working.
Everyone's on the wagon. Yeah.
Well, aside from me obviously,
but I'm, you know, special needs.
Why do you want to throw it away?
I don't want to throw it away,
I want to pass it over.
I want someone else to
take the reins.
Someone, you know, intelligent
and capable and disinterested.
Oh, my good God. No!
Just hear me out!
I'm just not ready for that
kind of responsibility yet.
You're 237 years old! When do
you think you'll be ready?
Look, it's a caretaker role,
that's all. Everything's set up.
All you've got to do is keep the plates
spinning. We are supposed to set up a relationship
with the next Chief Constable, since
you tore the last one's throat out.
Maybe there's no need. Everyone's
clean now. You said yourself.
Until someone goes bananas and attacks a bunch
of Cub Scouts! So set up a new partnership!
I mean, Christ, you've arm-wrestled
Colonel Gaddafi, you can handle
the Chief Constable for
Bristol and District. Mitchell!
At the moment I'm keeping
my excesses in check
as a favour to you,
and because it amuses me.
But, erm...
you have no idea of the
effort that entails.
Now I can't lead,
not even by example.
I'm just one step away from wiping
out an entire branch of Argos.
Then this will be ideal, it'd give you something
to focus on. This is the problem with vampires.
Too much fuckin' introspection!
Jesus! Mitchell.
You're gonna have to
find someone else, mate.
Ivan, I've met someone.
I can't be with her
and be part of this.
I know it's a big ask,
I know it's a huge favour,
but I can't...
She's my way out of this chaos.
This could be my last chance.
And if I get...
Oh, forget it! It doesn't matter.
You should have said
it was about love.
I get it now.
We all lead long and appalling lives.
But I have my Daisy.
Everyone deserves a Daisy.
So...
.. after you.
Hey guys, thanks for coming.
Let's, er... gather round.
I just think we need to
wait a few more minutes.
I've waited long enough.
This is the will of the Lord.
I am prepared to carry it out.
Are you?
Professor,
you need to say the words.
Do it.
I'm sorry for keeping
you in suspense like this.
I'm sure you're all wondering
why I brought you here tonight.
Erm...
I've made a decision.
'It's time. '
This has been a really...
a really interesting
journey but tonight marks...
The end of the journey for me.
I'll be leaving you in
capable hands of... Get down!
And the deed is done.
Shall we pray?
I renounce Satan and all his evil
works and all his empty promises.
Amen. Amen.
You don't have a cure.
There isn't a cure.
Are you OK? What did you say?
- What's wrong with you?
- ANSWER ME!
You just want to be set free,
don't you?
to move in with me. No. No? No!
My name is Ivan. I'm a blood addict.
None of us are killers now.
Sure you are.
A job, a wife,
and a house full of children.
Well, you can still have all that,
can't you?
I can't do it alone. Please.
Save me.
I think I just moved out of my house.
Why? Because I want to be with you.
Before he was given up to a death he
freely accepted, he broke the bread...
and gave it to his disciples,
saying,
"Take this, all of you,
and eat it... "
This is my body...
which will be given up for you.
When supper was ended, he took the cup
and gave it to his disciples, saying...
Where are you?
"Take this, all of you,
and drink from it.
"This is the cup of my blood,
"the blood of the new
and everlasting covenant.
"It will be shed for you
so that sins may be forgiven. "
Reverend?
Reverend Kemp? Do you need a lift?
No. I'm all right, thanks. I've
got the car with me tonight. "Car"?
You could be sued under
the Trades Description Act.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you need
to work on some new material.
Stop screaming, bitch!
Come on!
Do it now!
Maria?
The window! Go! Come on, leave!
It's going to be all right.
It's OK...
'And whosoever eats my flesh...
'.. and drinks my blood
will live forever. '
Hey.
Hey.
Come back to bed. Look, I'm on an early
shift. Oh, come on, please. Please.
Mitchell, I'm gonna be late.
Look, I know how difficult
and confusing all this must be.
Yeah. Lucy... Look...
We will talk about this later.
I promise. OK.
# You know, my darling
I can't stand to sleep alone
# No sweetheart in the dark
to call my own
# You're my own, you're my own
I can sing it, I can groan
# Darkness is a stranger
And I'm lonely, lonely, lonely, low
# Last night's parties
and last night's horror show... #
Forgive me, Almighty God.
# Smiling and whirling and kissing
all I know... #
Cleanse me of my sins.
Cleanse me, Almighty God.
Cleanse me of my sins
and make me holy, Almighty God.
Amen.
# Lonely, lonely, lonely
# Cos Mama told me
# The dream of love
Is a two-hearted dream... #
Are you having a breakdown
or something, is that it?
No. But I think you might be.
Oh, how dare you!
Oh, my God, did you
just throw that at me?
It slipped. So what are you? Just flinging
crockery around like a common poltergeist?
Did you just call me a poltergeist?
Mitchell! Mitchell, listen to this.
This is classic, this is.
Go on, say it to Mitchell, go on.
Say it again, go on. Say it... I will
if you'd shut up for a millisecond!
Mitchell. Uh-huh?
Sam and I are viewing a house today.
Ha!
What do you make of that?
He has to view houses,
he's moving out.
Oh, yeah, yeah. No, right.
Take his side. You two are just so...
gay for each other.
Annie, I don't understand.
I thought you were fine with this.
Come here, you big silly bear.
I was fine with this,
when I thought this was a notion.
But now you're out viewing actual, proper,
non-imaginary houses. You thought it was a notion?
Yes. George, I didn't think you would seriously go
through with it. I thought the moment would just pass.
You know, like when you decided
you were gonna wear skinny jeans.
Skinny jeans?
That was a private conversation.
Seriously?
It was a moment of madness.
No, George.
This is a moment of madness.
You can't just move in with someone
that you've just started dating. It's...
Tell him, Mitchell!
Skinny jeans, George?
Oh, all right, Mitchell. OK. Listen,
where the hell were you last night?
I was with Lucy. We, er...
we finally, um...
You know.
Decided to, em... Oh, this is like
the problem pages of Just 17.
You had sex, Mitchell. Sex. Yeah.
That's great, Mitchell. Yeah, yeah.
It kind of was, actually.
I'm really happy for you. Oh, thanks, mate. Oh,
it's fine. Why don't you two just snog each other?
I know you don't...
Just snog each other!
I don't want him to go either. Then
don't let him. We can't keep him prisoner.
We do have a cage.
What? Annie!
We will still see each other.
I will visit.
I will visit all the time.
Won't be the same though, will it?
Will it?
Yeah. Didn't think so.
I hate it when she does that.
She's right, though.
It's sort of... the end of an era.
I'm not surprised she's upset. This place
was our home, you know. Without us...
.. it's just a haunted house again.
Us?
You're not going anywhere, Mitchell.
No, I mean, not yet, but... I don't
know. I might have plans in the future.
Do these future plans include Lucy?
I really hope so.
Yeah.
Anyway, I'll see you later, man.
Yeah.
Oh, atmospheric!
Welcome, everyone.
I am Alan Cortez, Master Medium,
and this is my Psychic Experience.
Welcome, all.
I am Alan Cortez.
I, like my ancestors before me, have been blessed
with the unique gift with the ability to...
to contact and communicate
with the afterlife.
Prepare to have your doubts silenced
and your questions answered.
Prepare to be amazed.
It's really great. Can we just have a little
look around on our own again for a minute?
I'll be outside. Take your time.
Thanks a lot, cheers.
I love it. I really love it. And the
rent's really reasonable, don't you think?
Considering the size of the place.
And a garden, George.
A proper garden!
Yeah, it's great. It's really great.
It's so great.
It's so, so, so great.
And it's available now! What?
Now? No, no, as in... Today? Now?
As in right here, right now?
Someone else will have moved in by the time
you finish that sentence. What's the problem?
Don't you think it's
a little far out?
It's, like, half an hour from town.
I tell you what, I'd really rather
be a little bit closer to my friends.
By friends you mean Mitchell?
Er, I have other friends.
George, we're moving in together.
A whole new life.
Things are gonna change.
If you're not ready for that then...
I am.
I am so ready.
I am 100 per cent. I am ever ready.
Let's do it. Let's take it.
Yeah? Yeah! Yeah. Yes!
Yes! Ha ha! Woo-hoo!
Oh, Molly.
We should get a dog.
We should get a dog! A small dog!
Ha-ha! Woo-hoo! Molly! High-five!
I'm sorry.
I wasn't strong enough.
I thought I was.
I thought I could do it. But I
can't. I can't kill another person.
He's not a person, Professor. They're not people.
I know. I know, and I keep telling myself that.
I'm so frightened.
Of what? Of them?
Of him?
Of myself.
It's understandable
that you're confused.
The Devil was designed
for temptation.
He can be charming and clever
and exciting.
And Mitchell can be
those things too,
because he was made in the Devil's
image, just as you were made in God's.
But you must remain strong.
I know.
But sometimes...
I want to surrender to it.
Then you must fight it!
Declare war on it.
If we're weak, then we allow
the Devil to seduce us.
God is disappointed
and we will be punished severely.
A day of wrath is that day.
A day of darkness and gloom.
"I will bring distress
"upon men...
"For they have sinned
against the Lord,
"and their blood
will be poured out like dust".
Help me.
I want
to fight it.
I shall help you.
I shall show you the way.
I shall tell you what you must do.
It's just that he, um...
he left. So... Who is this? Simon.
He's your son?
(Give me a break.) No, Simon, my
husband. My late husband. Yeah.
I just want to know
that he's all right.
Yeah, yeah.
Er... Yep.
Yeah, he's... he's doing all right.
He's in a good place. He wants me
to tell you he's content.
Is Tiny there too?
Is...?
Tiny.
His Yorkshire Terrier?
Don't help him! Simon's surrounded by
his friends and family and little...
little Timmy's lying on his feet.
Tiny. Tiny, Timmy, whatever. Yep.
Dog's up there.
And he's very, very happy. She?
No, not Tiny. Tiny's not happy.
I mean Simon's very happy.
Why's Tiny not happy?
He is. She!
Oh, er, wait. He's leaving us. He's
fading, he's fading and he's gone.
Now, er... Am I sensing
another spirit somewhere else?
There's been one sat here
for 40 minutes, you giant twat.
I'm gonna have to ask you
to keep it down.
Me?
You can see me? I can see you.
I could also hear you from
backstage. How? You were shouting.
No, I mean how can... And you're sitting
in the wrong seats. Follow me, please.
Wait. I don't understand. Sssh!
How can...?
You're a ghost!
Of course I'm a ghost.
What did you think I was?
An usher! Come on.
A fella up there, with the...
the white shirt. Christmas 1998.
Faulty panto pyrotechnic.
One minute I'm standing in the wings watching
Widow Twankey belt out a chorus of "La Vida Loca",
the next? Bang!
Flat out on my back with every hair
on my body standing to attention.
Gosh, that's awful.
It was a terrible shock. Oh,
I bet it was. No, I mean literally.
It was a terrible shock.
That's what killed me.
The coroner said it was as if
I'd been struck by lightning.
Here we are.
The cheap seats. This thing's a heap
of shit, Robin... Do they live here?
No. But when a psychic rolls into town,
we get a good few ghosts back here.
You throw the term "psychic"
around pretty loosely.
No, Alan was amazing, he really was.
Then one year he just started
ignoring us. He stopped engaging.
I don't know why.
What's happened to you, Alan?
Jesus Christ!
Why aren't you listening to us, hmm?
Why aren't you
passing on our messages?
Why are you up there on a stage
lying to people? Is someone here?
Bingo. Who are you? What do you want?
I want you to start listening to these
poor souls, Alan, that's what I want. Alan!
Can you hear that?
See, they need you, Alan.
I don't understand.
You can't hear them
any more, can you?
Thank you. You too.
Oh, so anyway, it is the 27th.
The 27th? There's no need to sound
so freaked out, George.
It's a parent-teachers evening.
It's not a big deal.
It would just mean a lot to me if you could
be there. Ah. But is it definitely the 27th?
Mm-hm. That's plenty of
warning though, isn't it?
Sorry Sam, it's just I have this
thing planned. It's a planned thing.
What is?.. Erm, it's a work thing.
It's about every month or so.
In Liverpool.
Training.
Training?
You're a hospital porter, George.
Sport training. Sport?
You?
Yes, me. Sport what's so...?
I'm on a sports team.
It's toboggan.
Did you just say toboggan? Yep.
Yes, I did.
Right, so you and Mitchell?
You toboggan? In Liverpool?
Yeah. We are tobogganists.
Oh, can't you cancel it this once?
Can... Cancel? No-o. Very big, big,
huge championship coming up, so...
Oh, well... Well, it doesn't matter.
OK, come on.
Two years ago I was doing
this show in Newcastle.
Mmm.
They let the kid doing work
experience operate the smoke machine.
He didn't know when to stop.
It was like a scene from Backdraft.
I couldn't see where I was going
so I walked off the fucking stage.
Oh, no. Right off it.
I woke up the next day in a hospital bed with eight
stitches, short term memory loss and no sixth sense.
The knock must have
switched something off
because from that day until this,
I haven't heard a ghost.
Oh, until I showed up.
Until you showed up.
That's why I've had to pretend.
Back then I would pray
that they would stop.
Now that's finally happened,
and I'm praying they come back.
I hope you don't mind me just...
'Course not.
I tried ringing your phone. I was
in theatre so... Ah, of course.
You've killed people. Not any more.
"Not any more"?
Do you know how insufficient that
sounds? You have KILLED people!
You could be my salvation.
Don't think so.
Don't say that.
It's your world, Mitchell.
It's in every cell.
You can't just... change.
I can. You're not strong enough. It finds
you. It always finds you. Not this time.
Why? What's so different this time?
I have you.
It's a struggle, I can't lie.
It'll always gonna be a struggle.
But I can do this.
How?
I'll leave them. They'll follow you.
I'll tell them I'm finished with
them, all of them. When?
What?
When will you tell them?
I'll call a meeting tomorrow night
at the funeral parlour.
I'll see you later.
It's done.
Mitchell's gonna call a gathering.
When? Tomorrow night
at the funeral parlour.
Did he say how many of them?
Hi.
Hey.
What are you up to?
I'm just packing up some things.
Sam and I are gonna stay in the...
You can say it, George.
I'm not gonna cry or anything.
We've found a new house and
we're gonna stay there tonight.
Oh, God.
Annie, are you OK?
Yes, George, I am fine.
I'm fine, it's just that...
What are you looking for?
My bloody phone charger.
Oh, that's in the oven.
Really? Oh, right. Cheers.
What?
When you said you were viewing
houses, I started to hide your stuff.
Why? I thought the more of your stuff I hid,
then the longer it would take you to leave.
Right, how much stuff are we talking about, roughly?
George, I'm sorry about earlier. It's just...
I like it, just the three of us,
it's us against the world.
I don't want to be against the
world any more. It gets so tiring.
I want to be part of it.
We're all so scared of
what might happen out there.
And huddle together here
somehow makes us less afraid.
But do you know what?
I am ready to be scared.
I can't let this thing
own me any more.
You might have a point, George.
Red Robin, this is A1.
Can you let me know when you have FOH clearance
please? Over. Should be about 20 minutes.
Properly. Over.
This is Red Robin.
We will have Front of House clearance
in 20 minutes approximately. Over.
I don't think your heart's really in this, Red
Robin. Over. Maybe because it's stupid. Over.
How's it stupid? Over.
Because I'm stood right next to you.
Besides they don't even work.
They're not connected to anything.
Well, you're just determined to pick
holes in this operation, aren't you?
Alan! Alan! Alan!
OK, all right, yes, calm down,
settle down, thank you.
Can I have your attention please?
Right, shut up or Alan's out of here!
Jesus, pipe down!
Sorry.
Why are you even doing this?
Because I need to get out more.
It won't work.
Listen Alan, I'm helping you whether
you like it or not, so just...
Deal with it.
OK. As some of you already know, Alan here,
has been suffering from severe psychic blockage.
So we're going to have to do all that we can
to get him through this very difficult time.
So let's pull together
and let's make this work. OK?
You're with me, lovely, thank you.
So how are you gonna decide who
goes first?
By using a very fair
and democratic process.
I am Alan Cortez.
Welcome to my Psychic Experience.
Eenie, meenie, minie, moe...
Now I'm,
I'm sensing a spirit.
If he squeals let him go.
Who's calling me?
Eenie, meenie, mi-nie...
Who do we have?
Moe. Yes!
Someone's coming through.
Do we have a name?
Jimmy.
I'm getting a Jimmy.
Who are you looking for, Jimmy?
My wife Orla.
He would like to speak to his wife
Orla.
OK. Jimmy would like to
speak to his wife, Orla.
Do we have an Orla? That's me!
That-that's me.
That's my Jimmy. Welcome.
You're sure? Oh, yeah.
Erm, Alan?
Jimmy has a pretty serious message for her.
Er, apparently she's getting married again.
Jimmy says you're getting
married again, Orla. Yeah.
Well, well that's why I'm here,
really. Cos I
I just wanted to check that...
he was all right with it.
I'm not. Oh, he says he's not.
Yeah...
He wants you to know...
that he's not.
He's what?
He's not OK with it.
- And why the fuck would that be?
- Because apparently her new boyfriend's a massive tosser.
And a sponger... And a sponger.
Because your new man
is a massive tosser and a sponger.
Allegedly.
Why can't he just be happy for me?
Shh! Well, you know he died in that
car accident, not me. I'm still here!
You died in a car accident?
You tell that slapper I knew she was shagging
him while I was still alive. Everyone knew.
Tell the truth, Orla.
Or at least admit it!
I mean, what have you come down here
for? Playing the fucking innocent!
Shut up! You come down here for,
playing the innocent?
I'm serious, no-one
gets to dodge out of it.
This is very important to me, Ivan.
Yeah.
I don't want to get into it right now. Look, I'll
explain tonight, I'd just rather do it in person.
Look, you just spread the word, OK? I want
everyone there. Just, just leave it to me.
I've got most of them on my Twitter
feed so it'll be all right, OK?
OK, talk to you later. Got to go.
Speak to you later. OK, bye.
Yeah? Hi.
I'm so sorry to bother you.
I'm from Avon and Somerset Energy.
Uh-huh?
We've had reports of a gas leak.
I'm afraid we're going
to have to clear the premises.
I wouldn't bother.
They're all dead in there.
Get away from her!
I don't even know why
it matters any more.
I don't know why it means so much.
But it's all that I think about.
It just keeps racing round and round
in me head and for some reason...
I'd really like it if she was to...
OK.
Do you know, Jimmy, leave it with me.
Erm, Alan,
he just needs to hear her admit it.
Jimmy needs to hear you
admit it, Orla.
He needs to hear you admit
to the affair.
He was right. It's true.
And I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry, Jimmy.
It's about time.
Oh, Jimmy.
Bye.
Please. Please just
make sure he knows how sorry I am.
I do.
Oh, he does. He does.
Jimmy?
Thank you.
Alan, he's gone.
And now he's finally
managed to move on.
Thank you. Thank you. Well done.
Well done.
I'm sensing another presence.
So.
Your table is almost completed.
Yeah, if you say so.
Attach B9 to A5.
B9 to a bloody bollocking bollocks
piece of Scandinavian shit.
Bollocks, absolute shit tat,
bloody bollocking...
Hello, George.
Hey there.
Um... I'm just...
Your mum asked me to...
Where, where is your mum?
She's upstairs unpacking, George. Do
you know what I did today, George?
Why do you keep saying my name?
When I went back to school, I looked up some stuff
on the computer. Tobogganing is such a cool sport.
Yeah... Well... I love it.
Do you use a Katana sleigh
or a Tanto?
Er... well...
I've used both. Really?
Mmm, but I much prefer the, er,
the Tanto, because, er, well,
because, Molly, it's faster.
It's a type of Samurai sword,
George.
Samu... What?
A Tanto is a type of Samurai sword.
So is a Katana.
Oh, you tricked me. I knew you were
lying. Mum might have believed you, but...
And I love Mum...
But if she was in my class, I have a
feeling she'd be on the yellow table.
And the yellow table is?
It's not good, George.
It's not good at all.
Who's next?
Right, eenie, meenie, minie, moe.
Catch a tiger by his toe... Annie!
I can't believe you're going
on tour with Alan! Yeah, I know.
It's a bit scary, really. Good scary.
But you know I can't stay stuck
here forever, can I?
No, I know. I've been here
for over a decade.
Well, look, why don't you come with
us, Robin? No. There's not much point.
He can't hear me. I'm not like you.
I haven't got your confidence.
Bloody aerial.
It did this earlier as well.
'Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. I am
Alan Cortez... Whose turn is it, Annie?
'and this is my Psychic Experience. '
Annie?
Annie? Who's next?
Already I'm sensing a presence.
Who are you?
Do I have a name?
Annie?
Annie!
Yeah.
Who am I looking for first?
Carmen.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have someone
who wants to make contact with Carmen.
Do we have a Carmen in the house?
Anyone?
There's the lady down there,
could she have a microphone please?
Is there someone in particular you're
hoping to get a message from, Carmen?
Erm...
Well, I suppose I...
God, this is insane.
Take your time. It's all right.
Yes.
My daughter.
Don't tell me.
Your daughter's name is...
It's me.
She's here for me.
That's my mum.
Your daughter's name was... Annie.
Is there something
you'd like to ask Annie?
I just...
Well, I don't even know what I want
to hear. I don't know what would help.
I mean losing a child is a...
It's a unique kind of pain. It's...
The pain is...
spectacular.
But you know what? If you told me
that you could take that pain away...
I'm not sure that I'd want you to,
because...
it's... it's all I've got left.
I want to feel that pain
and I deserve to feel that pain.
Because I should have known.
She was my little girl.
And I should've known
that she was in danger.
I should've known
that she was scared.
Because I'm her mum,
and I really should've known.
I don't know what to say.
Don't hurt her.
Or if you have to hurt her,
do it once, do it now.
Leave.
Molly! My Dad hurt her.
He told lies, too.
I would never hurt your mum, Molly.
It's just that...
I have this secret, which means
sometimes I need to distance myself.
And I'm worried that if she finds
out, she won't want me anymore.
She'll think that I'm... What?
A freak.
A boy in my class has
six toes on one foot.
Is it something like that?
Yeah. I suppose it is a bit.
You can tell her.
I can't. I'm too scared to take the
risk. She loves you, George.
No matter what.
Well, I'm gonna go watch
my Hannah Montana DVD, so...
Molly?
Thanks.
Right.
P5 to A9. Come on you fucker!
I'm sure you know why I've
gathered you all here today.
Well, you don't know why
because I've just...
I had a little chat with, er... Oh!
I've something that I
want to say to all of you.
Everybody, everybody here that...
Oh... balls!
Erm... This isn't easy.
This isn't easy for... for... for me.
I'm out. I'm out.
I'm glad you came.
She's here, Carmen.
Seeing you seemed to silence her.
But she's here.
No, I shouldn't have come.
I'm sorry, I've made a mistake.
I'm not lying. I hope you are lying.
I hope you are, Alan. Because otherwise
what you're telling me is my daughter,
my dead daughter, is in this
room and she can't speak to me.
She can speak to you, she can speak to
total strangers, but not to me, her mum.
Look, Carmen...
When I was... when I was seven,
they showed us how to
make these on Blue Peter.
Anything I made before that always
ended in a disaster. But these I...
I mastered. Annie used to
make hundreds of those things.
I'm sure that it drove her mad.
But she never stopped me.
I always used to love them.
Annie!
Oh, my God. There's so
much I need to say to you.
I've spent every day missing you.
I've spent everyday thinking
about you, speaking about you.
I know people think I'm mad.
I mean, your dad he thinks I'm mad.
He wouldn't say it, obviously,
but I can see it in his eyes.
And he keeps saying things like "You
should go out more, maybe you should work. "
You know, he wants me to do
normal things.
Like anything could ever
be normal again, I mean...
But, Mum, you can't live your life
like that. You're holding on.
She thinks you need to let go.
She's my daughter for God's sake.
How can I let go?
Yes, I am your daughter
and I love you, very, very much.
But that is why I want
you to live your life.
Stop torturing yourself.
It's important to her, Carmen.
Please, Mum, there is something
I really think you should do.
I've been so afraid of this place.
I just thought if I came here
this would become
my last memory of you.
And somehow,
your face and your eyes
and your laugh
would be replaced by this.
But I still have you.
I do still have you, don't I?
You will always have me, Mum.
So I'm going to try.
I'm really going to try.
Bye, Mum.
The time is almost upon us.
It is.
We should prepare ourselves.
Lord, we thank you
for this opportunity
of doing thy work.
How you supposed to
bloomin' unlock this door then?
Chris and new landlord Jeff have
agreed that a temporary arrangement...
Mum? >
Oi! What's wrong?
Sssh!
Mum! >
Coming, sweetheart.
Mum! Mum, please! >
It's OK, it's OK. I'm here.
It's OK. Hey, hey, hey. There you go.
Everything OK? I had a bad dream.
Oh! About you.
A bad dream about George?
Well, he was George,
but it wasn't George.
Oh! Well, we'll read you a lovely
story and you can go back to sleep.
And I was calling his name
but he just stared back.
His eyes were dark. They looked right
through me... They looked inside me.
Here we go.
I can't come on the road with you,
Alan.
I know.
Speaking to my mum
and telling her that she
had to move on, well, it just made me
realise what a hypocrite I was being.
If I come away with you
then I'd just be running away.
It won't be the same without you.
What will you do?
Without an interpreter, I mean.
Do you think Robin
would be any good?
How do you know about Robin?
I heard her.
They're coming back, Annie.
They're taking their time,
but they're coming back.
Hi. Hiya. Hello.
Well, I think Robin will
be an excellent choice.
She did learn from
the master, after all.
But what are you going to do?
I think it's time to go.
So you take it easy.
Be nice to the ghosts.
Talking to someone you've lost...
You don't know
what a big deal that is.
Bye, Alan.
Hello.
Hi.
Are we late?
No. Come in, come in, come in.
There you are. It's cold isn't it?
Take a drink.
Only alcohol tonight I'm afraid,
none of the hard stuff.
Lord I acknowledge thee.
All creation was made for thee.
Exorcise thy thoughts...
Mitchell! Hey.
How are you doing man?
Ivan... Ivan... Can I have a word?
Yes?
He's just gone inside, sir.
Professor. It's time. He's early.
Does it matter?
Others may still arrive.
Look, this was your plan.
And do you know? It's working.
Everyone's on the wagon. Yeah.
Well, aside from me obviously,
but I'm, you know, special needs.
Why do you want to throw it away?
I don't want to throw it away,
I want to pass it over.
I want someone else to
take the reins.
Someone, you know, intelligent
and capable and disinterested.
Oh, my good God. No!
Just hear me out!
I'm just not ready for that
kind of responsibility yet.
You're 237 years old! When do
you think you'll be ready?
Look, it's a caretaker role,
that's all. Everything's set up.
All you've got to do is keep the plates
spinning. We are supposed to set up a relationship
with the next Chief Constable, since
you tore the last one's throat out.
Maybe there's no need. Everyone's
clean now. You said yourself.
Until someone goes bananas and attacks a bunch
of Cub Scouts! So set up a new partnership!
I mean, Christ, you've arm-wrestled
Colonel Gaddafi, you can handle
the Chief Constable for
Bristol and District. Mitchell!
At the moment I'm keeping
my excesses in check
as a favour to you,
and because it amuses me.
But, erm...
you have no idea of the
effort that entails.
Now I can't lead,
not even by example.
I'm just one step away from wiping
out an entire branch of Argos.
Then this will be ideal, it'd give you something
to focus on. This is the problem with vampires.
Too much fuckin' introspection!
Jesus! Mitchell.
You're gonna have to
find someone else, mate.
Ivan, I've met someone.
I can't be with her
and be part of this.
I know it's a big ask,
I know it's a huge favour,
but I can't...
She's my way out of this chaos.
This could be my last chance.
And if I get...
Oh, forget it! It doesn't matter.
You should have said
it was about love.
I get it now.
We all lead long and appalling lives.
But I have my Daisy.
Everyone deserves a Daisy.
So...
.. after you.
Hey guys, thanks for coming.
Let's, er... gather round.
I just think we need to
wait a few more minutes.
I've waited long enough.
This is the will of the Lord.
I am prepared to carry it out.
Are you?
Professor,
you need to say the words.
Do it.
I'm sorry for keeping
you in suspense like this.
I'm sure you're all wondering
why I brought you here tonight.
Erm...
I've made a decision.
'It's time. '
This has been a really...
a really interesting
journey but tonight marks...
The end of the journey for me.
I'll be leaving you in
capable hands of... Get down!
And the deed is done.
Shall we pray?
I renounce Satan and all his evil
works and all his empty promises.
Amen. Amen.
You don't have a cure.
There isn't a cure.
Are you OK? What did you say?
- What's wrong with you?
- ANSWER ME!
You just want to be set free,
don't you?
