Somebody once said |
00:00:50 |
that religion was deemed |
00:00:53 |
by the wise as false, |
00:00:55 |
and by the rulers as useful. |
00:01:03 |
The only thing I believe |
00:01:05 |
is that my name is Jonathan Preest. |
00:01:08 |
And tonight, I'm gonna kill a man. |
00:02:30 |
- Hey. |
00:02:34 |
What's going on? Where's Karen? |
00:02:36 |
A bit of a change of plan. |
00:02:39 |
Actually, quite a radical one. |
00:02:43 |
What? |
00:02:47 |
You're fucking kidding me? |
00:02:49 |
Seriously, I'm not. |
00:02:50 |
Let's just get back to London. |
00:03:03 |
I think you make |
00:03:07 |
I feel we don't connect. |
00:03:10 |
That you... |
00:03:12 |
Sorry. |
00:03:14 |
.. I hate you |
00:03:17 |
because of the divorce. |
00:03:21 |
Even though I've done everything to help you |
00:03:25 |
Margaret. |
00:03:26 |
Now, remember, remember the rules. |
00:03:28 |
Just what you feel Emilia thinks, |
00:03:32 |
I'm sorry. |
00:03:35 |
It's just that... |
00:03:39 |
That is the point ofthis, isn't it? |
00:03:41 |
Building trust takes time. |
00:03:43 |
All structure must start with foundation, |
00:03:47 |
and communication is |
00:03:50 |
Amen. |
00:03:58 |
Emilia. |
00:04:02 |
For fucking real? |
00:04:04 |
As real as you feel |
00:04:06 |
if you were in your mother's shoes. |
00:04:09 |
Try. |
00:04:10 |
OK. |
00:04:17 |
The next time that you come back |
00:04:21 |
drunken suicide attempt, you little slut, |
00:04:24 |
I'll drag you home, |
00:04:26 |
throw your charity shop cast-offs |
00:04:29 |
and make you move |
00:04:32 |
Any excuse to keep us away |
00:04:35 |
- Don't you start... |
00:04:37 |
- That's enough! |
00:04:41 |
- Emilia! |
00:04:43 |
alcoholic, waste-of-fucking-life |
00:04:46 |
- Enough! |
00:04:49 |
- You see what I have to deal with? |
00:04:53 |
Emilia, will you be quiet? |
00:04:56 |
A little too much? |
00:05:00 |
Emilia, please. |
00:05:03 |
I need to speak with your mother. |
00:05:08 |
See you next Tuesday. |
00:05:30 |
Hello? |
00:05:32 |
- Peter. |
00:05:34 |
You're there. Um... |
00:05:35 |
- I thought we agreed not to do this. |
00:05:38 |
But you promised me |
00:05:41 |
It's David. |
00:05:42 |
They're letting him do a day visit. |
00:05:44 |
- Yes, I heard. |
00:05:48 |
He can stay overnight as well. |
00:05:52 |
- Look, Peter, Martin will be home soon. |
00:05:57 |
Will you come? |
00:05:59 |
- Peter... |
00:06:03 |
Well, I'd like to see you, too. |
00:06:05 |
- It's been so long. |
00:06:08 |
Look, I'll think about it. |
00:06:10 |
I've got to go now. |
00:06:12 |
Yes, OK. |
00:06:14 |
Don't read too much into this. |
00:06:17 |
I'll expect your call, then. |
00:06:20 |
Goodbye. |
00:06:21 |
Bye. |
00:06:47 |
So there it is. |
00:06:48 |
Meanwhile City. |
00:06:51 |
So beautiful from the upper heights... |
00:06:54 |
it almost looks like |
00:06:57 |
From a distance, you'd neverthink |
00:07:04 |
It seems so long ago |
00:07:05 |
that the clockwork of events |
00:07:09 |
Events that led me to this room, |
00:07:12 |
to the task that I have to perform tonight - |
00:07:14 |
the eradication of The Individual. |
00:07:21 |
Back then, things seemed so simple. |
00:07:23 |
It seemed like any otherjob, |
00:07:26 |
any other night |
00:07:29 |
The main drag |
00:07:59 |
.. open mind and a steadfast faith |
00:08:02 |
applies the unchanging values |
00:08:04 |
to the new priorities |
00:08:07 |
Our plan - to improve your lives, |
00:08:11 |
We are all immortal, spiritual beings. |
00:08:21 |
I didn't like using |
00:08:25 |
The Ministry clerics |
00:08:28 |
You see, you've got to have religion |
00:08:34 |
It's the law. |
00:08:44 |
There are now so many faiths |
00:08:47 |
it gets kind of hard to be original. |
00:08:49 |
.. find yourself clean on the outside... |
00:08:53 |
.. the water has been drained. |
00:08:56 |
Objects such as coins, |
00:08:58 |
safety pins, stones, |
00:09:00 |
cause extensive damage |
00:09:05 |
These days, |
00:09:07 |
simply based |
00:09:10 |
Always consult the care instructions |
00:09:23 |
You see, without faith, |
00:09:27 |
And I didn't like being controlled. |
00:09:29 |
Not by anybody. |
00:09:32 |
That made me a big problem |
00:09:34 |
I'm the one and only non-believer |
00:09:37 |
in Meanwhile City. |
00:09:43 |
I'd been investigating a nasty little faith |
00:09:46 |
Their leader called himself |
00:09:50 |
He was one of the most dangerous |
00:09:55 |
Egocentric and insanely deluded. |
00:10:01 |
The Individual had abducted a young girl |
00:10:05 |
For what purpose? |
00:10:07 |
Somebody's god only knew. |
00:10:13 |
God bless you. |
00:10:16 |
How's tricks? |
00:10:20 |
Whisky, please. |
00:10:21 |
- Straight. |
00:10:26 |
Hot outside today. |
00:10:34 |
He here? |
00:10:38 |
You're sure you wanna stay |
00:10:40 |
Think I shouldn't? |
00:10:41 |
He's in the back. |
00:10:52 |
- Thanks. |
00:10:55 |
Your god bless you. |
00:10:59 |
Wormsnakes - |
00:11:03 |
Ha, ha! |
00:11:05 |
Mr Preest! |
00:11:07 |
Looking... |
00:11:09 |
You're looking well. |
00:11:11 |
You know how I feel |
00:11:13 |
Just tell me what you got. |
00:11:15 |
Mr Preest, information... |
00:11:19 |
let alone having any faith in it, |
00:11:22 |
Snakes, |
00:11:24 |
I'm running out of patience. |
00:11:26 |
You don't understand! |
00:11:30 |
If he finds out that I... |
00:11:32 |
It'll be nothing to what I'll do if you don't. |
00:11:35 |
The girl, Snakes! |
00:11:37 |
Where is she? |
00:11:40 |
The girl, she's dead. |
00:11:43 |
- Please! |
00:11:45 |
I don't know! I swear, I don't know! |
00:11:47 |
- Did he do it himself? |
00:11:51 |
You know, she didn't... didn't suffer. |
00:11:55 |
- Just tell me where he is. |
00:11:58 |
All I know is that you should |
00:12:02 |
Before what? |
00:12:04 |
Ssh! They made me. |
00:12:10 |
No! No! |
00:12:12 |
I'll be back for you. |
00:12:34 |
Too many clerics on the street. |
00:12:37 |
I should have seen the signs. |
00:12:39 |
Stupid. |
00:12:48 |
- Just like that? |
00:12:53 |
Are you sure? |
00:12:55 |
I mean, you guys have been |
00:12:58 |
That's just it. |
00:13:02 |
Does being jilted at the altar count |
00:13:05 |
Milo. |
00:13:07 |
Come on. |
00:13:08 |
Just a thought. |
00:13:11 |
There's so many people to call. |
00:13:14 |
Do you think she's spoken to anyone? |
00:13:16 |
That's the last thing |
00:13:21 |
It's hard enough |
00:13:23 |
How the fuck do you go about |
00:13:25 |
- They don't tell you that, do they? |
00:13:28 |
I'll take care of everything. |
00:13:31 |
I'm still your best man, OK? |
00:13:33 |
It's my duty, right? |
00:13:42 |
Do you need to stay tonight? |
00:13:44 |
No, I'll probablyjust head back to mine. |
00:13:46 |
All right, just thought |
00:13:55 |
Mate. |
00:15:10 |
This is Emilia. Leave a message. |
00:15:14 |
Emilia? Hello? |
00:15:16 |
Er, Emilia, |
00:15:19 |
I've not seen you in for a while. |
00:15:21 |
I don't need to remind you |
00:15:24 |
Call me back if you can. |
00:15:30 |
She was lost, needed my help. |
00:15:34 |
And I'd let her down. |
00:15:37 |
A routine cultjob, |
00:15:40 |
and now the girl I was supposed to save |
00:15:43 |
The Individual had gone to ground |
00:15:45 |
and Wormsnakes had given me up |
00:15:57 |
I knew I was a wanted man. |
00:15:59 |
But even I hadn't expected |
00:16:42 |
Well, let's see what all the fuss is about. |
00:16:48 |
Somebody upstairs had wanted me |
00:16:53 |
.. they were good. |
00:17:05 |
Shit. |
00:17:19 |
Anywhere can feel like a prison |
00:17:32 |
The only thing that got me through |
00:17:36 |
.. was to plan, |
00:17:37 |
stay focused... |
00:17:41 |
.. stay sane. |
00:17:48 |
Then, out of nowhere, |
00:17:50 |
they came. |
00:18:05 |
Slowly now... |
00:18:07 |
Get up. |
00:18:31 |
Tarrant. |
00:18:33 |
The nearest I ever got |
00:18:38 |
Nice to see you again, John. |
00:18:40 |
Yesterday, we received word |
00:18:43 |
that one of our stations in the South City |
00:18:47 |
Chemical attack of some kind. |
00:18:50 |
All operatives lost, |
00:18:51 |
as well as any hope of monitoring |
00:18:55 |
It wasn't me. |
00:18:58 |
Quite. |
00:19:01 |
However, we do know who it was. |
00:19:03 |
Consequently, we have a proposition |
00:19:07 |
You lock me up for four years and now, |
00:19:12 |
Offer you a job. |
00:19:13 |
Interested? |
00:19:15 |
What could possibly interest me? |
00:19:17 |
Freedom, perhaps. |
00:19:19 |
The chance to settle an old score. |
00:19:24 |
Familiar faces have been turning up |
00:19:28 |
every one of them a fully-fledged, |
00:19:32 |
.. Duplex Ride. |
00:19:36 |
That's right. |
00:19:37 |
The nasty little religion |
00:19:47 |
"Life through the eyes |
00:19:50 |
The world around him tailored |
00:19:54 |
- The Individual. |
00:19:57 |
Seems like your old nemesis |
00:20:00 |
We want to give you |
00:20:02 |
For what? |
00:20:05 |
You're a man without religion, John, |
00:20:07 |
a man without direction. |
00:20:10 |
We want you to come to peace |
00:20:13 |
embrace a belief, however small. |
00:20:18 |
How old was she, John? |
00:20:21 |
How old was the little girl |
00:20:24 |
10? 11? |
00:20:28 |
Count yourself lucky |
00:20:30 |
that absolution is very much part |
00:20:33 |
The Individual is coming back |
00:20:38 |
So? |
00:20:39 |
Well, you'll be doing us all a service. |
00:20:42 |
You'll have the Ministry's permission, |
00:20:45 |
sectarian permission, |
00:20:46 |
to commit this sin. |
00:20:49 |
Can I assume you're going to cooperate? |
00:20:55 |
So what happens now? |
00:20:57 |
Good. No time like the present. |
00:21:00 |
Take him to the hospital, |
00:21:06 |
Oh, and, John... |
00:21:07 |
You'll probably be needing this. |
00:23:14 |
She went out the back. |
00:23:17 |
You won't see her today. |
00:23:20 |
"Her"? |
00:24:25 |
My name is Emilia Bryant. |
00:24:29 |
And I'm a liar. |
00:24:33 |
Drowning in depression |
00:24:34 |
at the bottomless lake |
00:24:37 |
a mind that's lost its heart. |
00:24:41 |
Disappointing, isn't it? |
00:24:45 |
Come closer, beautiful girl. |
00:24:47 |
I want to fall into the depth of your eyes, |
00:24:50 |
kiss your lips as red as blood. |
00:24:57 |
We understand one another. |
00:25:08 |
Emergency services. |
00:25:11 |
Ambulance. |
00:25:13 |
74 Leonard Street, London EC2. |
00:25:16 |
Flat 3. |
00:25:17 |
OK. Can you tell me |
00:25:21 |
Suicide attempt. Hurry. |
00:26:10 |
Next stop, Meanwhile City Hospital. |
00:26:14 |
Not many people left this place |
00:26:18 |
I knew why I was there. |
00:26:20 |
And I was running out oftime. |
00:26:32 |
Here. |
00:26:34 |
Get in! |
00:26:43 |
Oh, hello, dear. |
00:26:47 |
As Mr Tarrant probably explained, |
00:26:51 |
We don't want to lose track of you |
00:26:55 |
Well, funnily enough, |
00:26:58 |
I thought this was just a medical. |
00:27:00 |
Just a precaution. |
00:27:02 |
If you pop yourself on this chair, |
00:27:07 |
Regulation for all clerics in the field. |
00:27:11 |
Come, now. |
00:28:04 |
I needed to go to ground, |
00:28:09 |
I'd always intended |
00:28:12 |
in my own way. |
00:28:24 |
How long since the call? |
00:28:26 |
- 14, 15 minutes. |
00:28:35 |
Give her some oxygen. |
00:28:42 |
Who is she? |
00:28:44 |
Name - Emilia Bryant. |
00:28:48 |
Emilia, come on, wake up now. |
00:28:50 |
Wake up, love. |
00:28:52 |
Emilia? |
00:28:54 |
Emilia, can you hear me? |
00:28:58 |
Let's move her. |
00:29:01 |
OK, Steve, prep Thomas's. |
00:29:04 |
One, two, three... |
00:29:32 |
Young female, mid-twenties, |
00:29:35 |
Left a suicide note, by the looks of it. |
00:29:39 |
Baseline obs look pretty good. |
00:29:41 |
- But otherwise not much response. |
00:29:45 |
- One minute. |
00:29:48 |
- Are you OK? |
00:29:53 |
Number six again. |
00:30:06 |
Today on Radio 4 with |
00:30:09 |
Hello? |
00:30:12 |
Yes? |
00:30:15 |
Oh, yes? |
00:30:20 |
Oh, my God. |
00:30:24 |
No, no, no, he hasn't been here. |
00:30:28 |
What do you mean, |
00:30:32 |
Um... yes. |
00:30:34 |
Well, you'll... you'll call me back. |
00:30:40 |
Well... |
00:30:41 |
Well, of course. |
00:30:48 |
Yes. Yes, I will. |
00:30:51 |
I'm very sorry. Goodbye. |
00:33:29 |
No, I'm sorry. |
00:33:34 |
I tell you what, |
00:33:54 |
Did you call my mother? |
00:33:56 |
Hm? |
00:33:59 |
Did you call my mother? |
00:34:01 |
Yes. |
00:34:02 |
The staff nurse spoke to her. |
00:34:07 |
Let me guess. |
00:34:09 |
She wanted to know if you were OK. |
00:34:12 |
But not enough to come down here. |
00:34:14 |
Right? |
00:34:31 |
I'm sorry. |
00:34:33 |
- Would you like me to...? |
00:34:36 |
That's all right. Please carry on. |
00:34:42 |
I look after a church myself. |
00:34:46 |
I'm a warden. |
00:34:49 |
Back in Cambridge. |
00:34:56 |
It never stops, does it? |
00:34:59 |
It's the same. |
00:35:03 |
Actually... |
00:35:05 |
I'm here looking for somebody. |
00:35:09 |
My son. |
00:35:11 |
Would you...? |
00:35:16 |
I don't know. |
00:35:18 |
I see so many here. Every day. |
00:35:20 |
I can imagine. |
00:35:28 |
What? |
00:35:29 |
What is it? |
00:35:30 |
He is lost. |
00:35:33 |
Yes, he is. |
00:35:35 |
That's why I'm looking for him. |
00:35:42 |
Could I...? |
00:35:44 |
Please. |
00:35:48 |
I'm sorry. |
00:35:49 |
I haven't seen this person. |
00:35:53 |
That's all right. Thank you, anyway. |
00:36:04 |
If you needed to find someone, |
00:36:06 |
the best place to start |
00:36:11 |
Meanwhile's melting pot of the pious. |
00:36:18 |
Every creed, cult, religion and doctrine |
00:36:20 |
pass through these doors, |
00:36:22 |
all looking for the same sense |
00:36:29 |
I just hoped that Wormsnakes |
00:36:36 |
Next! |
00:36:45 |
He's in there. |
00:36:51 |
Nothing had changed. |
00:36:53 |
This was still a living, |
00:36:56 |
of the Ministry's grip on this city. |
00:37:03 |
Please be advised that queue-jumping... |
00:37:05 |
A free blessing |
00:37:11 |
Hi, I'm Teri. How can I help? |
00:37:13 |
I'm looking for somebody |
00:37:15 |
Oh, OK. I just need you |
00:37:18 |
- Why? |
00:37:20 |
What's your faith? |
00:37:22 |
What's yours? |
00:37:24 |
Well, at the moment, I'm with |
00:37:30 |
But I'm thinking of changing. |
00:37:31 |
The level of discussion isn't great |
00:37:36 |
It's probably not your thing. |
00:37:39 |
Thank you. I've seen all I need to see. |
00:37:42 |
OK. Don't mention it and God bless you. |
00:37:46 |
Hi, I'm Teri. How can I help? |
00:38:09 |
You're not allowed to smoke in here. |
00:38:14 |
Do you think? |
00:38:20 |
I saw you come in. Last night. |
00:38:23 |
May I talk to you for a moment? |
00:38:25 |
I can... |
00:38:28 |
.. buy you a hot drink. |
00:38:32 |
Please. |
00:38:41 |
We get many suicides. |
00:38:45 |
Oh. |
00:38:49 |
I heard the paramedics talking. |
00:38:52 |
So you know the whole story. |
00:38:55 |
My name is Pastor Bone. |
00:38:57 |
It means "bread of life". |
00:39:00 |
Look, Mr... whoever you are, |
00:39:02 |
- I appreciate... |
00:39:07 |
She did what you tried to do last night. |
00:39:12 |
She was... successful. |
00:39:15 |
She started a chain of events like... |
00:39:17 |
dominoes. |
00:39:18 |
I'm sorry, but I really should... |
00:39:20 |
I'm just saying that it isn'tjust about |
00:39:23 |
the people you leave behind. |
00:39:25 |
It's about the people you haven't met yet. |
00:39:31 |
A person can stay inside themselves |
00:39:34 |
and end up blind, like not recognising |
00:39:38 |
It's an art project. |
00:39:41 |
- I'm sorry. I... |
00:39:44 |
I... |
00:39:45 |
I get to piss off my mother |
00:39:47 |
I get to kill myself every month |
00:39:50 |
I'm having a ball. |
00:39:52 |
OK? |
00:39:57 |
You know what, Mr Bone? |
00:40:00 |
You should get yourself a job |
00:40:07 |
Thank you. |
00:40:08 |
For the coffee. |
00:40:38 |
I followed Wormsnakes home |
00:40:41 |
Snakes' neighbourhood suited |
00:40:45 |
Fractured. Infected. |
00:40:47 |
Forgotten. |
00:40:49 |
Meanwhile's slum quarter. |
00:41:16 |
Jesus Christ! |
00:41:17 |
Wormsnakes. |
00:41:21 |
Get the fuck out of my apartment now! |
00:41:24 |
Let's not make this difficult. |
00:41:27 |
What do you want from me? |
00:41:29 |
What do you want? |
00:41:33 |
You're crazy. Know that, yeah? |
00:41:38 |
Be polite. You owe me, remember? |
00:41:40 |
For every single day of my four years. |
00:41:44 |
My fucking nose! |
00:41:47 |
Now, then, the word on the street is |
00:41:52 |
You wouldn't happen to know anything |
00:41:56 |
No! No! I swear. |
00:41:58 |
Uhh... |
00:42:01 |
I don't believe you. |
00:42:04 |
I need you to do a little favour for me. |
00:42:09 |
I want you to tell The Individual |
00:42:13 |
How do you know... |
00:42:14 |
How do you know he is gonna come |
00:42:16 |
I found you, didn't I? |
00:42:19 |
I'm gonna be at this address. |
00:42:22 |
And rest assured, he'll find you. |
00:42:26 |
Just do yourjob. |
00:42:27 |
What little faith I have... |
00:42:30 |
.. I have it in you. |
00:42:36 |
You're a lucky man, Snakes. |
00:42:39 |
You've got a stay of execution. |
00:42:42 |
Understand? |
00:42:45 |
I'll be waiting and watching. |
00:42:50 |
Nice to see you again. |
00:42:53 |
Fucking likewise, I'm sure. |
00:42:56 |
I knew he'd deliver my message |
00:43:00 |
Now all I had to do... |
00:43:02 |
was wait. |
00:43:05 |
So another in a long line of relationships |
00:43:09 |
And after all this... experience, |
00:43:14 |
I understand it all even less. |
00:43:16 |
Cheers. |
00:43:18 |
- Cheers. |
00:43:23 |
- Spoilsport. |
00:43:27 |
How about this? |
00:43:29 |
I think I saw Sally again. |
00:43:31 |
Yesterday. |
00:43:33 |
This again? Technically, that's not really |
00:43:37 |
- Who's Sally? |
00:43:41 |
I think I saw her |
00:43:43 |
It felt like she was following me |
00:43:46 |
This time, it was closer. |
00:43:48 |
- Childhood sweetheart? |
00:43:51 |
See what I mean? |
00:43:53 |
I think that's lovely. |
00:43:55 |
Come on. |
00:43:58 |
- Thank you very much. |
00:44:01 |
Oh... |
00:44:30 |
I heard this story once |
00:44:34 |
It was about a storyteller |
00:44:36 |
who was so good at telling stories |
00:44:41 |
Which would be an awesome superpower. |
00:44:43 |
Exactly. |
00:44:45 |
So the storyteller creates |
00:44:48 |
where he's the king of the castle, |
00:44:52 |
- The sun's-always-shining kind of stuff. |
00:44:57 |
And then, one day, he wakes up. |
00:45:00 |
He looks around. |
00:45:02 |
He kisses her on the cheek and... |
00:45:05 |
.. legs it. |
00:45:06 |
Why? |
00:45:08 |
I don't know. |
00:45:11 |
Even though his life was perfect, |
00:45:14 |
he had the feeling he should be |
00:45:17 |
With someone else. |
00:45:21 |
Anyway, the princess wakes up |
00:45:25 |
And that's it. I guess. |
00:45:28 |
Does that make any sense? |
00:45:34 |
No. |
00:45:36 |
I'm going to open another bottle. |
00:46:23 |
I take it that's how it ends. |
00:46:27 |
It ends when you want |
00:46:29 |
Well, that happens to be right now. |
00:46:41 |
That was real. |
00:46:43 |
Define "real". |
00:46:44 |
You called the ambulance. |
00:46:47 |
I had to. I'd have died, otherwise. |
00:46:49 |
I can't let you submit this, Emilia. |
00:46:51 |
- You know that. |
00:46:53 |
This is way more extreme |
00:46:56 |
It's not finished. |
00:46:59 |
What happened |
00:47:01 |
Two months following random strangers |
00:47:06 |
- Now you're going to throw it all away? |
00:47:10 |
I even wore a wig to disguise myself |
00:47:16 |
It's over. |
00:47:17 |
So is this. |
00:47:24 |
I suggest you stop wasting |
00:47:27 |
- Come up with something more original. |
00:47:30 |
Shock and bad taste doesn't necessarily |
00:47:34 |
Like I said, it's not finished. |
00:47:37 |
And how does it finish, Emilia? |
00:47:40 |
With you dead? |
00:47:42 |
The college sued? |
00:47:47 |
I don't know. |
00:47:49 |
Well, I bloody well do. |
00:47:51 |
Bin this drivel. |
00:47:53 |
Get back on track. |
00:47:55 |
Or don't bother coming back. |
00:48:20 |
When you're lost, |
00:48:24 |
In this city, every religion promised a |
00:48:30 |
All you had to pay them with |
00:48:33 |
and, despite the celebration, |
00:48:36 |
everybody ends up |
00:48:39 |
Old. |
00:48:40 |
Sick. |
00:48:41 |
Unhappy. |
00:48:43 |
Dead. |
00:48:46 |
She'd be 16 now. |
00:48:48 |
A young woman. |
00:48:50 |
The Individual had robbed her of life |
00:48:52 |
and, tonight, |
00:48:53 |
I was going to relieve him of his. |
00:50:21 |
You asked me how this finished. |
00:50:23 |
I told the truth. |
00:50:25 |
I don't know. |
00:50:28 |
A broken doll. |
00:50:30 |
A hollow girl. |
00:50:32 |
Bereft at the loss of herfather. |
00:50:36 |
But part of me left when he did. |
00:50:41 |
Someone said, "It's about the people |
00:50:45 |
Like the people on my tapes. |
00:50:48 |
I'm not sure I like the sound of them. |
00:50:52 |
The truth is... |
00:50:54 |
I'm a little scared they might be like me. |
00:50:59 |
I'm sorry, Mr Clunes. |
00:51:01 |
That's the best I can do. |
00:51:27 |
Get me down! |
00:51:47 |
Hello. |
00:51:49 |
I was just... um... |
00:51:51 |
- Passing? |
00:51:54 |
Sally. |
00:51:55 |
Wow. |
00:51:57 |
It must have been... |
00:51:58 |
- 20 years. |
00:52:01 |
But... I saw you on the street the other day. |
00:52:04 |
Oh. |
00:52:06 |
At least... I thought it was you. |
00:52:08 |
I got to thinking about you. |
00:52:10 |
Quite a lot, I guess. |
00:52:13 |
I just came to check the records. |
00:52:17 |
Check the records? |
00:52:21 |
Yeah, well, you know, |
00:52:24 |
write to you or something. |
00:52:26 |
Do you get a lunch hour? |
00:52:30 |
Can you spare a few minutes? |
00:52:45 |
Excuse me. |
00:52:47 |
Sorry. We're not really open yet. |
00:52:50 |
Er, yes, I know. |
00:52:51 |
I'm sorry, but... |
00:52:53 |
I was wondering if you could help me. |
00:52:55 |
I'm looking for someone. |
00:53:00 |
It's my son, you see. |
00:53:03 |
He used to come here |
00:53:05 |
I just wondered if he'd been back. |
00:53:07 |
OK. Well, do you have a picture? |
00:53:10 |
I do, actually. |
00:53:12 |
Erm... |
00:53:13 |
well, I only have this one. |
00:53:15 |
- It's OK. I can do a copy. |
00:53:22 |
Do you recognise him? |
00:53:24 |
I don't know. Maybe. |
00:53:27 |
I couldn't say for sure. |
00:53:32 |
No, of course not. |
00:53:36 |
Look, I'm only part time. |
00:53:38 |
You could speak to Bill. |
00:53:41 |
Bill Wasnik. |
00:53:44 |
Why don't you |
00:53:46 |
- Oh, yes. |
00:53:48 |
I do. Yes. Thank you. |
00:53:59 |
Great. |
00:54:00 |
Thanks. |
00:54:33 |
So when did you start teaching? |
00:54:35 |
- Pretty recently. |
00:54:38 |
Suits you. |
00:54:40 |
Thank you. |
00:54:42 |
You look good with kids. |
00:54:44 |
You were always good with me. |
00:54:47 |
I know we were both kids at the time, |
00:54:50 |
Yeah, I think so. |
00:54:55 |
How is your mum? |
00:54:57 |
OK. |
00:54:58 |
Still the same. |
00:54:59 |
Away with the fairies. |
00:55:06 |
When did you forget about me? |
00:55:23 |
- Hello. |
00:55:24 |
If you want to leave a message for Anne |
00:55:40 |
Well, I should get back. |
00:55:43 |
It's been really nice. |
00:55:45 |
Could I... see you again? |
00:55:47 |
Milo... |
00:55:48 |
We could go for a drink or something. |
00:55:50 |
- It's been so long, it's bizarre luck you... |
00:55:54 |
Thought you didn't |
00:55:57 |
Look... I'm not taking no for an answer. |
00:55:59 |
Any time at all. Any day this week. |
00:56:01 |
OK. OK. |
00:56:03 |
How about Friday? |
00:56:04 |
- Friday. |
00:56:06 |
There's a... There's a restaurant. |
00:56:09 |
The Tabernacle. |
00:56:11 |
- Yeah. I know it. |
00:56:13 |
Eight? |
00:56:15 |
OK. I'll be there. |
00:56:16 |
Can I get your number? |
00:56:18 |
Everything OK? Can I help? |
00:56:21 |
No, it's fine, thanks. We're fine. |
00:56:23 |
- Don't expect too much. |
00:56:25 |
Friday. |
00:56:39 |
Her name was Sarah |
00:56:41 |
and she was only 11 years old. |
00:56:44 |
To The Individual and his twisted faith, |
00:56:47 |
she was just another soul sacrificed |
00:56:49 |
and forgotten in the detritus |
00:56:54 |
One little soul, |
00:57:04 |
I had to keep it together, stay focused. |
00:57:09 |
It's nearly time. |
00:57:16 |
Hi, Mum. |
00:57:22 |
You could have come sooner, you know. |
00:57:25 |
Might have seemed |
00:57:30 |
Coming home is never like running away. |
00:57:34 |
What's happening with the flat? |
00:57:36 |
I might keep hold of it for a while longer, |
00:57:39 |
but I'll probably spend a couple of nights |
00:57:42 |
How is young Dan? |
00:57:44 |
A little embarrassed at his abject failure |
00:57:49 |
Bless. |
00:57:50 |
It wasn't his fault. |
00:57:55 |
I think you've had a lucky escape. |
00:58:32 |
Bring her over here, please. |
00:58:35 |
She's bicardic. |
00:58:38 |
Get me some atropine. |
00:58:49 |
We're losing her. |
00:59:08 |
Er... Bill Wasnik? |
00:59:12 |
Yeah. |
00:59:14 |
Something kind of funny |
00:59:16 |
Oh? |
00:59:18 |
I bumped into an old flame. |
00:59:20 |
Oh, really? Who? |
00:59:22 |
Do you remember Sally? She used to |
00:59:30 |
Sally? |
00:59:31 |
Yeah. Sally. |
00:59:33 |
I saw her this morning, |
00:59:36 |
Which is weird. |
00:59:39 |
We had a chat |
00:59:46 |
Milo. |
00:59:47 |
What? |
00:59:50 |
Karen must have hurt you so much. |
00:59:52 |
What's Karen got to do with this? |
00:59:56 |
How did it feel, seeing Sally again? |
01:00:00 |
Well... |
01:00:02 |
Good, actually. |
01:00:04 |
Nice. |
01:00:07 |
Kind of put things in perspective. |
01:00:17 |
What are you doing? |
01:00:19 |
I want to show you something. |
01:00:34 |
There. |
01:00:37 |
What? |
01:00:38 |
Sally. |
01:00:39 |
Where? |
01:00:41 |
Oh, Milo. |
01:00:42 |
What? I don't see her. |
01:00:44 |
When you were six, |
01:00:50 |
What? What do you mean? |
01:00:52 |
After your father died, |
01:00:54 |
Sally turned up |
01:00:56 |
and kept you happy. |
01:00:59 |
I spoke to your teacher. |
01:01:00 |
She said it was normal for a child |
01:01:04 |
What? Sally wasn't... |
01:01:05 |
She appeared in our lives |
01:01:09 |
and disappeared |
01:01:13 |
No. |
01:01:16 |
She's turned up in your time of need. |
01:01:21 |
I think it's quite sweet. |
01:01:23 |
No, no, no. No, I'm not getting involved |
01:01:26 |
I saw her today. I spoke to her. |
01:01:33 |
All I ever get from you |
01:01:36 |
Whenever anything bad happens, |
01:01:42 |
Well, I tell you, I saw this girl today. |
01:01:44 |
I saw her! |
01:01:45 |
And if it's not Sally, |
01:01:58 |
Jesus. |
01:02:07 |
I think you just don't realise |
01:02:12 |
Milo. |
01:02:17 |
The world is full of people |
01:02:20 |
Most of the time, we just don't see them. |
01:02:24 |
Whatever it was she wanted to say to you, |
01:02:27 |
Do you know what you're saying? |
01:02:30 |
Milo. |
01:02:34 |
What's happening? |
01:02:43 |
You were a friend of David's? |
01:02:46 |
Not close. |
01:02:47 |
Army days. |
01:02:50 |
We was er... we was in Basra together. |
01:02:53 |
We met up again back here. |
01:02:55 |
Mostly at the centre. |
01:02:58 |
But er... I don't think Dave |
01:03:06 |
I'm not proud of it, Mr Esser, |
01:03:12 |
We was in a pub, down at the market. |
01:03:16 |
Anyhow, he started freaking out. |
01:03:18 |
You know, banging on and on |
01:03:23 |
No, no. That's all right. |
01:03:26 |
He was talking about Sarah. |
01:03:28 |
He kept on asking me and asking me |
01:03:34 |
An accident. |
01:03:39 |
Yeah, well, he got quite irate |
01:03:42 |
.. luckily the Old Bill steamed in. |
01:03:45 |
They nicked him. They chased him |
01:03:49 |
They told me... |
01:03:52 |
He needed help. |
01:03:54 |
He was a danger to the public |
01:03:56 |
Ta. |
01:04:00 |
Tips up here, right, |
01:04:05 |
Asking about me. |
01:04:06 |
The creepy sod, |
01:04:10 |
I walk in and there he is, |
01:04:14 |
Like fucking Batman. |
01:04:17 |
He breaks my fucking nose, |
01:04:20 |
talks a load of shit at me |
01:04:21 |
and then buggers off. |
01:04:23 |
What was he saying? |
01:04:30 |
He gave me an address. |
01:04:32 |
An address? |
01:04:40 |
He said that someone was coming |
01:04:46 |
He didn't say anything about it |
01:04:49 |
Please? |
01:04:51 |
Bill, I'll leave the keys on my desk. OK? |
01:04:54 |
That's fine. Thanks, Teri. Good night. |
01:04:59 |
Look... |
01:05:00 |
Dave, he said he'd come back |
01:05:04 |
So, if it's you or the police |
01:05:07 |
just make sure that he stays |
01:05:11 |
Here. |
01:05:21 |
Who's Franklyn? |
01:05:24 |
That's the address. All right? |
01:05:27 |
Myjob's done. |
01:06:02 |
Emilia? |
01:06:05 |
Are you all right? |
01:06:06 |
You didn't mention you were coming by. |
01:06:10 |
No, thanks. I need to speak to you. |
01:06:13 |
Darling, I'm in the middle of... |
01:06:18 |
- What is it, sweetheart? |
01:06:24 |
I'm so sorry. I... |
01:06:27 |
Please excuse me. |
01:06:35 |
What are you doing here? |
01:06:38 |
- Please, Mother, sit down. |
01:06:40 |
The sooner you sit, |
01:06:54 |
Well? |
01:06:58 |
I want to talk about fairy tales. |
01:07:28 |
If a god is willing to prevent evil, |
01:07:32 |
then he is not omnipotent. |
01:07:34 |
If he is able but not willing, |
01:07:39 |
If he's neither able or willing, |
01:07:48 |
Why else do bad things happen |
01:07:55 |
I... |
01:07:58 |
I always remembered it |
01:08:02 |
But bad ones. |
01:08:04 |
Stories with horrible endings. |
01:08:07 |
- Emilia... |
01:08:10 |
the Princess would wake up... |
01:08:15 |
.. and her Prince... |
01:08:18 |
.. would have left her. |
01:08:23 |
What do you want from me, Emilia? |
01:08:25 |
I want you to admit... |
01:08:29 |
.. that you knew about it. |
01:08:31 |
That you remember. |
01:08:33 |
That you've had to live with it all this time, |
01:08:36 |
That's all. |
01:08:40 |
Is this what it's all been about? |
01:08:45 |
The way your father treated you? |
01:08:50 |
I just wanted you to be on my side. |
01:09:07 |
He had a business trip. |
01:09:10 |
Usually, I hated him going away, |
01:09:12 |
but this one was a godsend. |
01:09:15 |
The moment his foot was out of the door, |
01:09:20 |
Just like that. |
01:09:23 |
I hoped we'd... we'd both forget, |
01:09:28 |
move on. |
01:09:35 |
Emilia? |
01:09:57 |
Thank you. |
01:09:59 |
I have to go now. |
01:10:12 |
- Peter. |
01:10:14 |
- Please have a seat. |
01:10:17 |
This is Frank Grant, |
01:10:23 |
I hope you don't mind if he joins us. |
01:10:25 |
Mr Esser. |
01:10:28 |
Peter, on the whole, we both felt it would |
01:10:35 |
When you find David... |
01:10:40 |
Well, obviously, he'll be returned |
01:10:45 |
He was getting so much better. |
01:10:48 |
David's home visit |
01:10:53 |
As I told you, David took advantage |
01:11:00 |
He was being fitted with a tag |
01:11:05 |
What? |
01:11:07 |
What... what is it? What's happened? |
01:11:10 |
Mr Esser, your son assaulted |
01:11:18 |
.. one ofwhom |
01:11:21 |
We also have reason to believe |
01:11:25 |
there's a chance |
01:11:29 |
Essentially, he's possibly armed. |
01:11:33 |
Are you ready to listen to us now, Peter? |
01:12:34 |
Mr Tarrant, if I... |
01:12:38 |
If I talk to David... |
01:12:41 |
.. talk some sense into him... |
01:12:45 |
.. would you at least reconsider? |
01:12:50 |
Peter, if you have any idea where David is, |
01:12:54 |
The police are involved now. |
01:12:57 |
I... I... I don't know where he is. |
01:13:02 |
Your daughter was killed |
01:13:06 |
just two weeks |
01:13:09 |
What's Sarah got to do with it? |
01:13:12 |
We think it's key to David's condition. |
01:13:16 |
It was clear from his evaluation |
01:13:21 |
Now, you wouldn't happen to know |
01:13:24 |
You? |
01:13:26 |
God, maybe? |
01:13:30 |
It was God's will |
01:13:34 |
We spoke to Anne earlier today, Peter. |
01:13:38 |
She seemed to think |
01:13:41 |
of God's hand in finding David. |
01:13:43 |
- Your ex-wife thinks you're deluded. |
01:13:47 |
What are you saying? |
01:13:51 |
I came here to help. |
01:13:54 |
To help bring my son back home. |
01:13:56 |
Peter, if he does in any way |
01:14:01 |
however mistaken... |
01:14:04 |
.. there's no telling what he might do, |
01:14:09 |
We have been severely tested |
01:14:15 |
But I have trust in God. |
01:14:18 |
I... I should go back to Cambridge. |
01:14:22 |
I... I think you're right. |
01:14:27 |
Thank you. |
01:14:29 |
Thank you very much. Thank you. |
01:14:32 |
Good evening. |
01:14:35 |
So, Wormsnakes told me |
01:14:38 |
I decided to give the little traitor his life. |
01:14:42 |
In a way, I wanted tonight's assassination |
01:14:46 |
Pure. |
01:14:49 |
It felt like the last pieces of the jigsaw |
01:14:52 |
But don't get me wrong. |
01:14:59 |
For every soul ofthis deluded population |
01:15:04 |
they neglect to see the wear and tear |
01:15:08 |
The teeth that grind into the cogs. |
01:15:12 |
The damage that fate causes so many |
01:15:15 |
towards just one favourable consequence. |
01:15:21 |
The Individual had simply run out of luck, |
01:16:54 |
- Hello? |
01:16:57 |
No. You've got the wrong... |
01:17:03 |
David? Is that you? |
01:17:07 |
Hello? David, please. We've got to talk. |
01:17:16 |
Listen, I'll be across the road, |
01:17:21 |
For fuck's sake. |
01:17:57 |
- Shit. |
01:18:04 |
Yes? |
01:18:07 |
I'm sorry to bother you, |
01:18:12 |
Coming. |
01:18:20 |
Hello. John Preest. |
01:18:23 |
Upstairs? |
01:18:25 |
My buzzer doesn't seem to be working. |
01:18:27 |
You've moved in upstairs? |
01:18:29 |
I'm sorry to introduce myself like this, |
01:18:33 |
Thanks, |
01:18:37 |
I... am expecting someone. |
01:18:40 |
I heard your buzzer go. |
01:18:42 |
Yeah, the intercom's wired up wrong. |
01:18:45 |
A guyjust rang asking for David. |
01:18:48 |
He said he's across the road, |
01:18:50 |
- The restaurant? |
01:18:55 |
- You're sure? |
01:18:58 |
Now, excuse me. I have to go. |
01:20:07 |
Hello? |
01:20:09 |
Jesus. |
01:20:10 |
It's me again. |
01:20:13 |
You're not gonna believe this. |
01:20:48 |
- What are you doing? |
01:20:51 |
It's better if you don't. |
01:20:54 |
- You hurt me. |
01:21:08 |
Don't be afraid. |
01:21:10 |
I have a simple job to do. |
01:21:28 |
- What's your faith? |
01:21:31 |
- Your religion. What is it? |
01:21:42 |
How long have you been |
01:21:47 |
What? |
01:21:57 |
Hello. |
01:22:00 |
Well... |
01:22:03 |
Hello back. |
01:22:16 |
- Meanwhile City? |
01:22:20 |
- Where is that? |
01:22:27 |
- This is London. Where is it you think... |
01:22:33 |
- Just stay back. |
01:22:35 |
- Stay there. |
01:22:42 |
I feel a bit stupid now. |
01:22:45 |
- Why? |
01:22:47 |
There's nothing to feel stupid about. |
01:22:51 |
You always knew, really. |
01:22:53 |
How's the wine? |
01:22:56 |
You want to make small talk now? |
01:22:59 |
If I'm going to have |
01:23:01 |
I'd like to think it might be |
01:23:09 |
- Sorry. |
01:23:12 |
So, my mum was right? |
01:23:15 |
Kind of. |
01:23:16 |
If you believe in something |
01:23:19 |
who's to say if it's real or not? |
01:23:22 |
Amen. |
01:23:23 |
- I thought you were an atheist. |
01:23:27 |
- So, what happens now? |
01:23:31 |
Like what? |
01:23:34 |
It was me who told you that story. |
01:23:36 |
The one about the storyteller |
01:23:39 |
That's been bothering you. Right? |
01:23:42 |
Well, if it was you who told me, |
01:23:45 |
Come from you? Sure. |
01:23:48 |
Well, if that's true, |
01:23:52 |
You know. |
01:23:55 |
Go on. Try. |
01:24:09 |
The storyteller was... |
01:24:12 |
.. so used to his fantasies that... |
01:24:15 |
.. no matter how good his reality was, |
01:24:18 |
Would never be enough. |
01:24:21 |
You see? The first step to recovery |
01:24:38 |
No! |
01:24:39 |
Agh! No! |
01:24:48 |
What's happening here? |
01:24:52 |
- I have to go now. |
01:24:55 |
Can't you feel it? It's nearly time. |
01:25:25 |
Life's too much of an adventure as it is |
01:25:31 |
I just wanted to let you know that |
01:25:34 |
- Please. Please don't. |
01:25:37 |
You're such a romantic. |
01:25:40 |
Use it for somebody else. |
01:25:47 |
Sally, we can... |
01:25:51 |
No, we can't. |
01:25:54 |
Listen. I don't care. |
01:25:58 |
- I don't care. |
01:26:27 |
Mr Preest. Mr Preest! |
01:26:34 |
- What are you doing? |
01:26:39 |
If you really knew me, |
01:26:42 |
See? |
01:26:58 |
David? |
01:27:32 |
Drop the gun. |
01:28:00 |
What was your name? |
01:28:05 |
Emilia. |
01:28:08 |
David. |
01:28:12 |
In this world my name is David. |
01:28:23 |
I think it's time you left. |
01:29:35 |
Will you be all right? |
01:29:37 |
I'll go and find some help. |
01:30:04 |
- Excuse me. Please... |
01:30:07 |
- No, I'm fine. |
01:30:10 |
No, you don't understand. |
01:30:12 |
- What? Where? |
01:30:35 |
You're hurt. |
01:34:39 |
