Back from the Dead Doctors

STIFLED GROANS

I'm not going to hurt you.

Look.

I can take that off, but you can't scream.

I mean it. Or I'll have to shut you up.

Do you understand?

OK.

-Where's Jimmi?

-Jimmi?

Your fiance.

When's he coming back?

He's coming back soon. Any time now, he's going to be coming back.

-What do you want?

-How long have you been with him?

About a year.

Do you know who he was with before you?

Who used to live here?

Did you meet his ex, did you?

-Eva.

-Eva.

Tell me about Eva.

She was a police officer.

She died.

What, is that it?

She...

Someone killed her on the job.

And where is she now?

Now...? She's dead.

I don't know where...

I don't think there's a grave.

She might have been cremated. Jimmi might have scattered the ashes.

Does he talk about her?

No.

Why do you want to know about Eva?

PHONE RINGS

BEEP 'Hello!

-'This is Jimmi.

-And Cherry!

-Sorry, we can't take your call.

-'Just leave a message.

-Bye!

'Bye!'

'Hey, gorgeous.

'I'm about half an hour away now, but you're out with the girls anyway, aren't you?

'I'll try your mobile as well. And I hope you've been good because I might have got you a present.'

What's the password?

She Ra 88.

She Ra?

-It's without the hyphen.

-So, this is your laptop, it's not Jimmi's?

Jimmi will have his computer with him.

What is it you want with Jimmi?

Are you a patient of his?

Is it on the police side? Is that how you know Eva?

Are you in some sort of trouble?

You do know that Jimmi doesn't actually have anything to do with the cases.

He just...

makes sure that people are well enough to be...

Just shut up, will ya?

-What are you looking for, then?

-I've told you what I want.

-What?

Is it her body, her ashes?

-If you ask Jimmi, he'll tell you.

-You know something, pet?

This would have been a lot easier if he'd just been straight with you from the start.

He is straight with me. He tells me everything.

Yeah? Well, we'll see,

when he sees that pretty little face of yours all broken and bleeding.

You said that you weren't going to hurt me.

Well, that depends on him, doesn't it?

Would you please just tell me what you want?

Eva's dead!

Then you'd best start praying that Dr Jimmi can bring her back to life.

Cherry?

Are you in?

Long time, no see.

What do you want?

Come on, Jimbo, you must have been expecting me, surely?

-What you're talking about? Why are you here?

-I've come for Eva.

Is that some kind of a joke?

Why don't we just jump to the point where you tell me where she is and I give you my word

that none of this will ever be traced back to you.

-You know where she is. You were there when she died.

-Don't mess me around.

-You think your little secret was going to stay hidden forever?

-What secret?

-Give it up, man.

-I don't know what you mean.

-She's alive.

No...

New name...

..new town,

-some nice little business.

-I don't know who told you this, but they're sick or deluded.

She destroyed my life, Jimmi!

My boy was 23

and she shot him in cold blood. She didn't need to do that. She was taking me down anyway.

I'm sorry.

-I don't know anything about it.

-I lost my home,

my business, my family.

Can you imagine that, Jimmi?

I've been living in a box of a flat on the wrong side of Stockholm.

I get up on a morning, I check the internet,

I walk round the streets. I might as well have been banged up.

-I'm sorry.

-And if I've been through all of that and that...

bitch never pays for taking my boy's life, then I'm putting that right, you see?

Do you understand?

She's dead, that's all I know.

No, you're still protecting her. Even after all this time, you still think you owe her something.

Do you honestly think she'd do the same for you?

Right, well...

we're just going to have to try a bit harder.

Where are we going?

I've got something that might just jog your memory.

Cherry! Are you OK?

Has he touched you?

Right, I'll leave you to catch up.

Who is he, Jimmi?

What does he want?

His name is Jack Harcourt.

-Eva was working undercover investigating him.

-For what?

Drugs, guns. He killed a police officer in Newcastle.

Why is he so obsessed with her?

Because she killed his son.

Did he kill her? Is that how she died?

Well, he arranged it. I don't know too much about it.

-Jimmi?

-It's OK.

-But what does he want? It's not your fault, is it?

-No.

-What does he want?

-I don't know.

-He wants you to do something.

-I don't know!

So... are you going to make this easy on yourselves or not?

-He doesn't know anything, so leave us alone, OK?

-Jimmi?

You were there, Jack. You saw her go down. You saw the blood.

I should have blown her brains out myself.

I tried to save her. I tried, didn't I? I put my hand on the wound,

I tried to stop the bleeding, but I couldn't save her. I don't know anything!

If Eva was still alive she'd still be here, OK?

-She'd still be with Jimmi.

-Where is she?

Where are you hiding her?

You're not telling me blondie is the real deal?

-Cherry...

-It's OK.

-What's wrong with him now?

BREATHLESSLY: Jack...I can't breathe.

-Do I look like a mug?

-He's having a panic attack!

-I'm not telling you again!

Leave him alone! You're going to make it worse!

-He's a nutcase.

-Jimmi, it's OK. It's all right. It's all right, OK?

It's just a panic attack. You need to slow your breathing down. Slowly and deeply.

Yes, you can. It's all right. You're all right. You're breathing too hard.

-You're losing carbon dioxide, it's making it worse. Get a paper bag.

-You what?

There's one in the bathroom!

It's going to be all right. I'm going to make sure that you're OK. Breathe slowly. I love you so much.

I'm not going to let him hurt you. You'll be all right.

This is just a silly mix-up, OK?

When he realises that you don't know anything about Eva, he'll leave us alone.

-Here.

-Hold it to his mouth.

-What?!

Hold it to his mouth, OK?! Scrunch it at the top. OK. That's it, Jimmi.

That's it. Breathe slowly and deeply. That's it. OK.

Slowly. In and out, that's it.

You're doing really well, Jimmi.

You're going to be OK. You're going to be OK.

That's it.

What do you think the time is, Jimmi?

About one.

What do you think he's doing down there?

I'm bursting for a wee.

We could ask him.

Yeah. He'll probably want to come with me.

Can you hold it?

I'm sorry.

Why didn't they arrest him three years ago?

He got out the country, I think.

After shooting a police officer?

I don't know.

I don't really... know anything about it.

Jimmi, I wish you'd told me before.

Cherry, don't.

I didn't know you were there when she was killed. It must have been horrible.

I try not to think about it.

But I'm always having digs at her, trying to get a reaction. I'm so stupid, so selfish!

No, you're not.

Jimmi, will you promise me one thing? If we get out of here...

will you show me where she is buried, where her ashes are scattered?

Do you promise me that we can do that?

Yeah, I promise.

Is this it?

You lived with Eva

and all you've got are a few photos and a restaurant menu?!

It's pathetic! It's insulting.

This woman you loved, this brave officer who died

in the course of doing her duty, you should be honouring her.

Her picture should be hanging on every wall!

-I don't want to be reminded.

-So pretend she never existed?

-You hide her away?

-It's helped me deal with it.

-Why?

Because anything else would be a lie?

She was playing me for years.

Do you know how many women have done that?

And if she was that classy, that canny,

at the top of her game, why do you think she let her cover get blown?

-I don't know anything about the operation.

-She phones her boss from the bar. Never done that before.

She lets herself get followed to a car park, no witnesses,

where she meets her boyfriend. Does this sound like the actions of an undercover experienced cop?

She was finished, wasn't she? Maybe she was desperate to get out

-that she let her guard down.

-No, pulling out of an Op?

Leaving a dead body behind? It never rang true.

You're grieving for your son, you're clutching at straws.

No, Jimmi. No, I've come a long way and I've waited a very long time.

-It's a delayed reaction. You're trying to find someone to blame.

-And now I'm losing my patience.

There's nothing to tell!

Do you want to make me hurt her...

-this poor cow who knows nothing at all?

-Please don't touch her.

-Why do you think she's here?

-What are you doing?

-I'm going to shoot you in the knee.

-He doesn't know anything!

-It won't kill you, but it'll hurt like hell.

He doesn't know anything! You can't do this! He doesn't know anything!

OK! OK! OK! Eva's alive! Eva's alive.

The police took her straight into witness protection and I haven't seen her since. I don't know any more.

So, where is she now?

I don't know.

-What, like you said she wasn't alive?

-It's the truth.

-You expect me to believe that?

-You have to.

-To make contact, what's the system?

-There isn't one.

-Is she here or abroad?

-I don't know.

-Why are you still protecting her?!

-I'm not!

-I am not a fool!

-They wouldn't tell me!

-You're her boyfriend.

-No - was!

-What, so you just walk away?

I didn't have a choice. It was what she wanted.

She said that's the way it had to be. I'd never see her again and that she was doing it for me.

Why would I be with Cherry if I was still in contact with Eva? Why?

Why? We're getting married! We're going to move from this place.

We were thinking of kids! Why would I do any of that...?

You're using the bimbo as a front!

-No, no, no. Cherry's my life now.

-Come on!

-She doesn't know anything about this.

-Is that the job description?

-I love her!

-Do you, Jimmi? Do you really?

-You've got three seconds to prove that.

-What do you want me to say?!

-One...

-I don't know anything!

-Sorry about this, pet.

-Jack!

-Two...

-I don't know anything! Please, I don't know anything!

-I do not believe you!

-I don't know where she is!

-Three!

-Cherry! SILENCED GUNSHOT

I don't know any more than what I've already told you.

That's everything, I swear.

HE SCREAMS

We have to get out of here. I don't know what he'll do otherwise.

You lied to me, Jimmi.

I promise that I'll explain everything, but did you hear me? We've got to get out.

You said Eva was dead. Why?

Cherry, this isn't the time.

No, Jimmi, we're going to talk about this now.

I didn't have a choice.

It was three years ago. You could have told me.

It's witness protection, that's the whole point!

If I'd told anyone, I would have compromised the whole thing.

Why didn't you tell me an hour ago when you were getting misty eyed?

-What was I supposed to say?!

-You let me feel guilty.

That's why I never talk about her.

-How long have you known?

-What?

How long have you know that she was still alive?

Always.

And when she was bleeding to death in your arms?

Blood capsules. She was wearing a vest.

So, you let everyone feel sorry for you?

Oh...

the grieving boyfriend(!)

I still lost her.

She's not dead though. Can you not see what the difference is?

All this time I've known about this...

tragedy that happened and...

I've never talked about it because I didn't want to upset you, thought about how much

it affects you and I must be careful and sensitive, and I should, never, never try to replace her.

All the stuff about the house, that's why you didn't want to sell it!

It was just the practicalities, I did want to sell.

-That's because you're waiting for her to come back, aren't you?

-No.

You're using me as some kind of decoy.

It's like he said, I'm just your pretend girlfriend!

-Don't be ridiculous.

-Is this because you still love her, don't you?

-No!

-Yes, yes, you do.

That's why you're protecting her. Everything you've done, it's always been about Eva.

I thought that I could trust you, Jimmi.

I thought you were the kindest, most loyal, most honest man that I've ever met.

-I'm the same man as I always as.

-You're not. You're worse than Scott.

He had the excuse that he was addicted to heroin! You're just sick.

You're cruel and you get off on leading this double life! I bet you both have a laugh about it.

-I don't see her!

-Oh, yeah, Jimmi, you expect me to believe that?!

The love of your life, this amazing, sexy, ballsy woman.

She ended it, OK? She ended it. She didn't want me to go with her.

You would have though, wouldn't you?

-You would have followed her to the ends of the Earth.

-I don't know.

-You don't know?

-I love you now.

Oh, yeah, Jimmi. You just wheel the next one in.

I don't... No! I do.

I didn't tell you about Eva because I was trying to protect you.

Yeah, you've done a good job of that, haven't you(?)

I didn't know this would happen!

You gave me absolutely no chance to protect myself.

He came to the surgery, that psycho! I gave him travel jabs!

I had absolutely no chance to protect myself, Jimmi!

Cherry, I'm so sorry.

Oh, yeah.

If you loved me, Jimmi, if you really, really loved me then you would have told me.

I do love you. I hated lying to you.

Yeah, you say that now.

It's true! Just ask Julia.

Julia?

Julia, she knew about Eva?

She just kept going on and on. She knows me! She could see something wasn't right and I just snapped.

You told Julia,

your boss, but you didn't tell the woman you're about to marry?!

-I need to move you down to the garage.

-Why, what for?

GLASS SMASHES, CHERRY SCREAMS

Cherry?

Cherry?!

Cherry?

Cherry?

Cherry!

Cherry?

Cherry?

Cherry, talk to me! Are you OK?

Police and ambulance.

-Don't worry about us.

-you kidding? You lot drink tea by the gallon.

Cherry, how are you feeling?

-I'm fine.

-I wish you'd let me take a look at you.

She's pretty wrung out.

When is the Inspector getting here?

No, DCI Driver, she's not going to make it.

You'll have to put up with me.

We were hostages. He had a gun.

But don't let that be a reflection on what you've been through.

You were in on this, too, weren't you?

Guys, can we clear this room for interview? Now.

How many other people, Jimmi?

-Rob's in the police, it's different.

-How many other people?!

George and Ronnie Woodson. That's it.

Enough for a dinner party.

Is it some little club? Have you got a password?

-Cherry...

-I thought you were my friend.

-It's not like that.

-Cherry, stop doing this.

-You're torturing yourself. I'm sorry you had to find out like this.

-I'm not.

It's the best thing that could have happened.

Me and Eva, we're finished. You're not second best.

Of course you're not!

Everyone can see how good you and Jimmi are together.

Let's get the formal things done, then we'll get out your hair and give you two some space.

I don't want him here.

I want to be interviewed on my own.

The...police have gone.

I'll straighten upstairs. I don't want to leave it till morning.

It IS morning.

Look, Cherry...

..I am so sorry if you think that I didn't respect you,

or I didn't take account of your feelings.

But the truth is...

..I block her out.

For a long time it stopped me getting close to anyone because...

I didn't want to burden them with it as well.

But you give me a future where I don't have to be on my own,

where we can be together just doing normal things.

Please say something. This isn't like you.

-Don't touch me, Jimmi, OK?

-What?

I'm going to...

I'm going to out tomorrow and...

I want to have a bath and pack my stuff and I don't want you here when I do that.

-What?!

-Jimmi, can you go somewhere? Just go to Daniel or Zara's.

-Cherry...

-Jimmi...go.

I was living with him! We were getting married. I was always going to be a target!

She's got a right to be angry.

Can I ask, why are you here?

Because your mum invited me.

For your information, I'm not a kid. I know exactly what's going on.

-Really?

-Really.

Jimmi!

Tell him to go away.

-Just let me talk!

-What, so you can lie to me again?
