0:00:46 > 0:00:49- Didn't have you down as a comic buff.- Mmm.

0:00:49 > 0:00:53I'm getting it signed for my nephew. I'm seeing the artist later, he's a patient.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56Don't tell me he's been attacked by zombies.

0:00:56 > 0:00:57No, he's injured his back.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00So how did the hot date go with the lovely Marina?

0:01:00 > 0:01:05A gentleman never divulges details of a romantic rendezvous.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07- Definitely got his leg over!- Yep.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47Losing track of time.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50Day 14, I think.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52Still a prisoner in my own home.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Feels like the walls are closing in.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57Not sure how much more I can take.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59It's stifling.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Mustn't eat till tomorrow.

0:02:15 > 0:02:19Decided to ration my food to every other day. Make it last longer.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Not much left, though.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29They're still out there.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32This morning, I heard them in the garden,

0:02:32 > 0:02:34searching for ways to get in.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38Got to get away from here. Can't leave the house.

0:02:39 > 0:02:44- HE SIGHS - So tired. I daren't sleep that's what they're waiting for.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46No idea how long I've been awake.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51BANGING

0:02:53 > 0:02:56I'm sick of being scared all the time.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59But it's the only way to be. The only way to stay strong.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Mustn't let them get me.

0:03:11 > 0:03:12Stay strong.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22HE GASPS

0:03:28 > 0:03:29Yeah, absolutely.

0:03:29 > 0:03:34So, crushed velvet curtains with a woven silk lining. Sounds great.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39No, no... er, it's just that I have to make a start.

0:03:39 > 0:03:40Go on, then, quickly.

0:03:40 > 0:03:46So you want pink tiles in the bathroom and pink flooring.

0:03:46 > 0:03:50- Well, don't you think it might be a little too...- Pink!!

0:03:52 > 0:03:56Mr Peters? Mr Peters, it's Dr Cassidy here.

0:04:01 > 0:04:02Mr Peters?

0:04:04 > 0:04:08- Quickly!- Mr Peters.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10Close the door!

0:04:10 > 0:04:12Er, what's wrong?

0:04:12 > 0:04:16I thought you couldn't walk. Your back...

0:04:16 > 0:04:18I lied. In here!

0:04:21 > 0:04:25- Mr Peters?- Get away from the window!

0:04:25 > 0:04:28- Sorry...- Would you please tell me what's going on?

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Why are you skulking around in the dark?

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Why did you lie about your back?

0:04:34 > 0:04:36I had to.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39I need someone to get my heart medication, someone I trust.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41I've nearly run out.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44But I gave you a repeat prescription last time I saw you.

0:04:44 > 0:04:45I can't leave the house.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47(They're watching.)

0:05:16 > 0:05:18I can't let them see me, not for a second.

0:05:18 > 0:05:23That's why I've got the decoys... to confuse them.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26Mr Peters, who exactly are we talking about?

0:05:26 > 0:05:29You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Are you all right? - It's nothing, just lack of sleep.

0:05:32 > 0:05:36You're having problems sleeping?

0:05:36 > 0:05:37No.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40No.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42I CHOOSE not to sleep.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44The moment I close my eyes,

0:05:44 > 0:05:47that's when they'll make their move.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49(Kill me.)

0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Kill you?- They tracked me down a couple of weeks ago.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56Chased me home.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58I haven't been out since.

0:05:58 > 0:06:02Most people have only ever seen them in movies,

0:06:02 > 0:06:04or read about them in books.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09But they're here.

0:06:09 > 0:06:10Out there.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Oh, you're up!

0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Yeah.- Erm, I thought you might like some breakfast?

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Would love some, but I need to get going. Things to do, people to see.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Right.- Thought you had work today?

0:06:31 > 0:06:34That's not till later.

0:06:35 > 0:06:39Anyway, it was really good seeing you. We should do it again, soon.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Yeah, try and beat our record.

0:06:41 > 0:06:45Right, gotta go.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48- Right.- Sorry about breakfast.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50No worries.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52- See you later.- Bye.

0:06:59 > 0:07:04- SCRAPING - It's here somewhere.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08Mr Peters, it's clear you're mentally and physically fatigued.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12- I'm fine.- I think you should consider going to hospital.- No.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14You need to be checked out!

0:07:14 > 0:07:17I can't go outside. I can't!

0:07:17 > 0:07:19It's not an option.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Mr Peters!- Got it!

0:07:24 > 0:07:28There's a chemist on the corner. It's only two minutes away.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31I've only enough pills left for today.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35What happens next month, when you need some more?

0:07:35 > 0:07:40It's up to you. I can't make you go, but I won't change my mind.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43And if I drop down dead tomorrow, then you'll know the reason why.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Now, that's not fair.- If there was any other way, I wouldn't ask.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Please!

0:07:51 > 0:07:53All right.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56But when I get back, we need to talk about your options.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Whatever you say.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01Let yourself back in.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04I don't like opening the door in case they see me.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09And be careful.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15Good morning, Dr Carter.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19Morning. Erm, I've left my paper somewhere.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21- It's there on the chair.- Oh, OK.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28SHE COUGHS

0:08:29 > 0:08:32SHE LAUGHS

0:08:56 > 0:08:58David?

0:09:00 > 0:09:02David?

0:09:03 > 0:09:05DAVID!

0:09:13 > 0:09:16So long since I've said it out loud.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22It's hard to remember who I really am.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24David,

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Miles,

0:09:29 > 0:09:31or even Troy.

0:09:36 > 0:09:41- DICTAPHONE:- It's hard to remember who I really am. - DOOR SLAMS

0:09:50 > 0:09:52No! They're here!

0:09:55 > 0:09:56Yep, Hello? Speaking.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59That'll be Cherry wanting a pink toilet seat.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Oh, you're not serious?

0:10:04 > 0:10:06But you can't do that. We had an agreement.

0:10:09 > 0:10:14No, I don't want to lose the sale, but you're just taking advantage of the situation.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17Well, I don't know. I'll have to think about it.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23I'll call you back when I've had chance to speak to my fiancee.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29- What?- The house buyer's threatening to pull out unless we drop the price by 30,000.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32- No!- Exactly.- Does he think you're some kind of idiot?

0:10:32 > 0:10:33I'm not doing that.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36I thought you had to get rid of this one to buy your new one?

0:10:36 > 0:10:39We do, but I won't drop it by that much. Not a chance!

0:10:39 > 0:10:41Do you think Cherry will agree to that?

0:10:41 > 0:10:44She's already stressed about the wedding and the move.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46I've always thought it it's a daft idea,

0:10:46 > 0:10:49getting married and buying a house at the same time!

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Thanks, Karen, that's really helpful(!)

0:10:51 > 0:10:53No, I was just, just saying.

0:11:11 > 0:11:12Mr Peters?

0:11:18 > 0:11:21I'm upstairs.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29They were at the front door, trying to get in.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33Mr Peters. They're just MEN,

0:11:33 > 0:11:35not zombies.

0:11:35 > 0:11:40Zombies? You didn't think...?

0:11:42 > 0:11:45The zombies that I draw, they're just a metaphor.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47Metaphor for, for what?

0:11:47 > 0:11:49American assassins.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56Assassins?! Why do they want to kill you ?

0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Can I trust you?- Of course you can.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06- I'm your doctor, whatever you say is confidential.- Yeah?

0:12:06 > 0:12:08Mr Peters. Miles.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10I'm here to help you.

0:12:15 > 0:12:16"David Wickham".

0:12:16 > 0:12:18Who's he?

0:12:22 > 0:12:25I don't suppose it matters now, anyway.

0:12:25 > 0:12:26My cover's already blown.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29Cover? What cover?

0:12:30 > 0:12:37About ten years ago, I used to work for the U.S. security services.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41After I left, I leaked some secret documents to the press.

0:12:41 > 0:12:46Since then, several attempts on my life have been made.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49So what brought you to the UK?

0:12:49 > 0:12:53An English friend of mine helped me to leave the country,

0:12:53 > 0:12:54set up a new identity.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59David Wickham

0:13:01 > 0:13:02is my real name.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04KNOCK AT DOOR Come in.

0:13:07 > 0:13:11Ah, I knew you couldn't stay away for long.

0:13:11 > 0:13:15Erm, actually, I wanted to have a word with you about earlier.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17- Yes?- In future,

0:13:17 > 0:13:20do you think you could show a little more restraint?

0:13:20 > 0:13:22Restraint?

0:13:22 > 0:13:24When expressing your, erm...

0:13:24 > 0:13:26My what?

0:13:26 > 0:13:28Your lustful desires.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Oh.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34You see, as a partner I have to set a moral example.

0:13:34 > 0:13:35Of course.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38It's going to be terribly difficult for me

0:13:38 > 0:13:40being in such close proximity to you.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42- I understand that. - It's almost unbearable!

0:13:42 > 0:13:44You just have to be strong.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46No more wandering hands... KNOCK AT DOOR

0:13:46 > 0:13:49Yes, erm, anyway, that's very good.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51We can continue this at lunch.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54Yes. You didn't exactly show much restraint yourself last night,

0:13:54 > 0:13:55did you, tiger?!

0:13:57 > 0:13:59Are you sure your new identity's been blown?

0:13:59 > 0:14:02Yeah.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06My last comic sold really well. Better than I ever expected.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10They're bound to see a photo of me somewhere.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13You didn't actually see anyone chase you home?

0:14:13 > 0:14:16I heard their footsteps behind me.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18I could sense them closing in.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21So you could have imagined it?

0:14:21 > 0:14:22No!

0:14:24 > 0:14:28Those men across the street... I'd recognise their type anywhere.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31They've been sent by the US government.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34Oh look, the knowledge inside my head...

0:14:34 > 0:14:37it could still bring people down.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40Senior politicians, businessmen. They all want me dead.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47- You don't believe me, do you? - I'm just concerned for your health.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50Think about it. I mean, for years you've been looking

0:14:50 > 0:14:54- over your shoulder, pretending to be someone else.- But I'm not mad!

0:14:54 > 0:14:56I never said you were.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59But something like that could affect your wellbeing.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02Feelings of paranoia, agoraphobia.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05I'm grateful for your help, but I think you should go now.

0:15:05 > 0:15:06Miles!

0:15:06 > 0:15:10I don't want to put you in danger any longer. I've said too much already.

0:15:10 > 0:15:15I don't think you're well enough to be left on your own. I know you don't want to go to hospital...

0:15:15 > 0:15:17Oh, for the last time, I'm not going!

0:15:17 > 0:15:19So please, will you just go!

0:15:23 > 0:15:24- Now.- OK, OK.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36It's so just nice to meet someone who's cultured, fun...

0:15:36 > 0:15:41- Well, it sounds like you two are really getting on.- Absolutely.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44You know, Heston's such a gentleman.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46Well, most of the time.

0:15:46 > 0:15:47Meaning?

0:15:47 > 0:15:50He's got the stamina of a man in his twenties.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53He's absolutely rampant!

0:15:53 > 0:15:55Whoa! Whoa...too much information.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57No, it's not. Go on.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Aren't you supposed to be somewhere? - Oh, yeah. Yeah.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03- Right, OK. Catch you later.- Yeah.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06For another erotic instalment!

0:16:06 > 0:16:10- Heston, though...- I know! - Who'd have thought it?

0:16:12 > 0:16:13What?

0:16:42 > 0:16:44Get away!

0:16:49 > 0:16:52Mr Peters...Mr Peters?

0:16:52 > 0:16:54It's Dr Cassidy.

0:16:56 > 0:16:57Get inside!

0:16:57 > 0:17:00Wh...what are you doing with that?

0:17:00 > 0:17:03He reached into his pocket.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06- I thought he was going to... - Miles, please.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09Put the knife down. They've gone.

0:17:09 > 0:17:10The knife.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21Listen to me, you're not thinking straight.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24They're not who you think they are.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27They'll stop at nothing.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30- You, you don't know what they're capable of.- Miles!

0:17:30 > 0:17:31She...

0:17:33 > 0:17:35She didn't know anything.

0:17:36 > 0:17:37Nothing at all.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41My wife.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52They wanted to give me this.

0:17:53 > 0:17:57They had a caseload of them. They belong to a religious group.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07But...but, they looked like assassins.

0:18:14 > 0:18:15I was so sure.

0:18:19 > 0:18:23- Ooh, two sugars, please! - Hey, what you doing here?

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Well, I had some time before my next call,

0:18:25 > 0:18:28so I thought I'd come and say hello to my gorgeous fiance.

0:18:28 > 0:18:32Ah, good, cos, erm, I wanted to have a chat with you about the house.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35Oh, snap! I was thinking for the dining room

0:18:35 > 0:18:38we should go for something modern but classic.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40- Cherry.- Something like that.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43First I thought oak, but it's a little bit too dark.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Pine's a little bit too light. I thought maybe maple.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48Cherry, listen.

0:18:48 > 0:18:49Sorry.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51Am I getting carried away?

0:18:51 > 0:18:53Have you had any ideas?

0:18:53 > 0:18:56Erm, yes...

0:18:56 > 0:19:01- but none of them are as good as yours.- Awww.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05Well, wait till you see my colour scheme for the bedroom.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10Don't worry, I'm going to get you some help.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12What do you mean?

0:19:13 > 0:19:17Miles, you're not only a risk to yourself but to others as well.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22So, er...so what exactly are you saying?

0:19:22 > 0:19:25I'm really sorry, but if you won't go to hospital willingly,

0:19:25 > 0:19:28I'm going to have to request a psychiatric assessment.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30You may have to be sectioned.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33Please...

0:19:33 > 0:19:36- don't, don't do that. - You don't leave me any choice.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39Surely you must see, you can't go on like this?

0:19:40 > 0:19:42I just want it to stop.

0:19:42 > 0:19:43It will.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51It will. It's going to be all right.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57Will it help if I take you?

0:20:06 > 0:20:07OK.

0:20:10 > 0:20:11You're doing the right thing.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33You go to the car first and open the door, so I can quickly get in.

0:20:33 > 0:20:34OK.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42There's nothing to worry about. Trust me.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34Miles, what's happened?

0:21:34 > 0:21:35Miles?

0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Ah, I've been looking for you. - Remember what I said.

0:21:40 > 0:21:44- But I've got something for you. - Not now. Not here.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46Rachmaninoff. Just been to collect them.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49This has been sold out for weeks. How on Earth...?

0:21:49 > 0:21:51Well, I just pulled a few strings.

0:21:51 > 0:21:55- You know I'm a woman of many talents. - You certainly are!- Look.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57What was it you said about restraint?

0:21:57 > 0:21:59I can't remember...

0:22:08 > 0:22:10His pulse is very weak.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12I don't know.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16Right.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19Miles, Miles... what exactly happened?

0:22:19 > 0:22:22Did they fire something? A bullet?

0:22:22 > 0:22:24Poison.

0:22:24 > 0:22:25Poison?

0:22:25 > 0:22:28- From a dart.- What?

0:22:29 > 0:22:31I have to know what to do.

0:22:31 > 0:22:32I need to help you.

0:22:35 > 0:22:36It's fatal.

0:22:36 > 0:22:40- It's all my fault.- No. - I should have listened.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45- You're not to blame.- Yes, I am.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48I persuaded you to leave the house.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50No. They'd have got me...

0:22:51 > 0:22:53Matter of time.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56I'm so sorry.

0:22:58 > 0:22:59Thank you.

0:23:00 > 0:23:01What for?

0:23:04 > 0:23:07I...I was scared...

0:23:08 > 0:23:10of dying alone.

0:23:13 > 0:23:14Thank you.

0:23:17 > 0:23:18Stay with me, Miles.

0:23:23 > 0:23:24No! The ambulance is here.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26No!

0:23:37 > 0:23:39- Hiya!- Hiya.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41How was your night with what's-his-name?

0:23:41 > 0:23:43What, Bobbie?

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Yeah, it was fine.

0:23:45 > 0:23:50- Fine?- We got wrecked, we had great sex. Job done!

0:23:50 > 0:23:52That's it?

0:23:52 > 0:23:54It was just what the doctor ordered.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56And in my case, needed.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59So, no chance of a proper relationship?

0:23:59 > 0:24:02Depends what you mean by proper relationship.

0:24:02 > 0:24:07I don't really go in for the fluffy, fairy tale nonsense.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10Bit 1950s for me.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13Well, whatever floats your boat, I suppose.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23How could you know it was true?

0:24:23 > 0:24:25You did what you thought was right.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30Most doctors would have done exactly the same.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32You mustn't blame yourself.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34That's what Miles said.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36I still can't quite believe it.

0:24:36 > 0:24:40To murder someone like that in broad daylight.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42Not something that happens every day.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44It's the US security services.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46There'll probably be some sort of cover up.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49It'll be like he never existed.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52Do you think that's true?

0:24:55 > 0:24:59- Elaine, you should go home and rest. - Yeah.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16I couldn't do it to her.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18It's her dream home.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21And you're going to drop the price by 30,000?

0:25:21 > 0:25:23Yeah.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25I'd have told him to shove it where the sun don't shine.

0:25:25 > 0:25:30Yeah, well, I don't have much choice, do I? Hello.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32Yeah, this is Dr Clay again.

0:25:32 > 0:25:36Erm, I'm just calling to say I've decided to, er, drop the...

0:25:39 > 0:25:41Seriously? Oh, it...

0:25:41 > 0:25:42then I'm not budging.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44You can pay the full asking price

0:25:44 > 0:25:47or you can go to hell!

0:25:47 > 0:25:49Well, that's fine by me, mate.

0:25:50 > 0:25:54- He wanted me to drop it by 50,000 this time.- No!

0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Good for you for standing firm. - Yeah, but with no buyer...

0:25:57 > 0:25:59You lose your dream house.

0:25:59 > 0:26:03- Cherry's going to be devastated. - Don't you think I already know that?!

0:26:14 > 0:26:17Just because I'm pregnant, there's no need to patronise me.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19- Are you okay? - What does it look like?

0:26:19 > 0:26:22Do you want me to call you an ambulance?

0:26:22 > 0:26:24You'll be able to share your toys with them,

0:26:24 > 0:26:26cos you're such a clever girl.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28You know, this world would be a whole lot better

0:26:28 > 0:26:30if there were more people like you in it.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33- If ever you want to talk... - Don't hold your breath!
