0:00:25 > 0:00:28"Her skin was that of the first pure dawn,
0:00:28 > 0:00:31"her hair the flames of the burning tree of yore,
0:00:31 > 0:00:33"her mien was beauteous.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37"But set with the purpose of her destiny.
0:00:37 > 0:00:42"Her destiny, to find the man of true heart,
0:00:42 > 0:00:45"he who would hold the key to her desire,
0:00:45 > 0:00:47"he who would know..."
0:00:47 > 0:00:49What's up, bud?
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Er, no, thanks.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54What you reading?
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Just the latest magnum opus from Blake Calverly.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Who?
0:00:59 > 0:01:03He is the, er, self-appointed doyen of future world romances.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Barbara Cartland does Blade Runner?
0:01:05 > 0:01:08That's a pretty fair assessment.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Why are you reading it?
0:01:09 > 0:01:12He's the guest speaker at this conference I'm going to.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13And I just needed to see
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- if his writing is as tawdry as they say it is.- And?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Oh, it's very tawdry. - Thought it was your day off?
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Oh, I came in for some free coffee.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Monsters and Gods!
0:01:21 > 0:01:22And good morning to you too.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24No, it's a conference at the university.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26They need us to provide a doctor for medical cover.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28What's wrong with St John's Ambulance?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- I made an offer to the vice-chancellor.- Politics?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33So any offers?
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Al's already going.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37In my capacity as a private citizen and enthusiast.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Well, good, you can double up.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Let me just consult my Avatar.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Avatar says no.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Kevin?
0:01:45 > 0:01:46No, no, no, I'm not hanging around
0:01:46 > 0:01:48waiting for a load of freaks to get sick.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Why, thank you!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Well, someone's got to do it.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Or I can get Karen to check the rota.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Good idea, thank you.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Although I must express my disappointment
0:01:56 > 0:01:58at the lack of cooperation.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05I often wonder that.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08No, it's the novel they adapted Blade Runner from.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11People in the know consider it to be a masterpiece.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12And they are correct.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18CROWD MURMURS
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22CROWD CLAMOURS
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Thank you for coming, an absolute pleasure.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Thank you so much for coming.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32A load of freaky people, talking about comics?
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Erm, graphic novels. And it's a big conference, world-famous authors.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Yeah, but it's still about aliens and spacemen and stuff.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Niamh is going to hate it.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43It's a good opportunity.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45To be bored to death.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Howard wants to make a good impression with the vice-chancellor
0:02:49 > 0:02:51and Niamh is really good with people.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Especially Oliver.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54How do you mean?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I've seen the way he looks at her.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Yeah, right, look, can you just ask her?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00What if she doesn't want to?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Well, then tell her Howard asked for her especially.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- So, who are you looking forward to seeing?- What?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Sheila Duggan on Night Stalkers Of Gar
0:03:12 > 0:03:14or Niles Malone on The Molecular Wars?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Weirdo.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19It's the last time I come in costume.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Ladies, how are you?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Great to see you, looking fantastic,
0:03:24 > 0:03:25you looking forward to the lecture today?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Yeah, but Howard thinks you're the best for the job.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29'Really?'
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Yeah, and he really wants to impress the vice-chancellor
0:03:31 > 0:03:33so he's promised we're going to be on our A game.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- 'So, he's sending me?' - Absolutely.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38And if it was me, I would jump at the chance.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39'You would?'
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Yeah, well, of course.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Yeah, you build relations with the university,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45you score points with Howard. It's a win-win, really, isn't it?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- 'OK, I suppose.' - Brilliant.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- 'When do I have to be there?' - Er, now.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52'I'll get going then.'
0:03:54 > 0:03:57This conference with anorak-y people into sci-fi,
0:03:57 > 0:03:59would Al happen to be going?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Jimmi Clay!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Up for the conference?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10I'm not really here, you're talking to a hologram.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11SHE LAUGHS
0:04:11 > 0:04:15You're a card! Mind, my fault for asking.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Oh, I've been looking forward to this for months.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- Have you? - Yeah, you bet your bottom dollar.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Course, right before we were leaving now,
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Brenda went and broke an axle!
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Ankle?
0:04:26 > 0:04:30No, Brenda is my mate Teresa's transit, 1986.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32If you ignore the rust, she's immaculate.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33She hit a blummin' pothole on the way home
0:04:33 > 0:04:35from a Native American pow-wow.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- In America? - Talybont.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Annual thing, like a spiritual knowledge exchange,
0:04:41 > 0:04:44we get tips on dream catching, they get bardic inspiration.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47They're mostly from the Black Hills of South Dakota,
0:04:47 > 0:04:51serious ancestral vibes, but they've found similar in the Brecon Beacons.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- Really?- Yeah, I've had many an epiphany while ascending Pen y Fan.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59The funny thing is though, right, back home they mostly earn their
0:04:59 > 0:05:03living from casinos, but I think fair play, chwarae teg,
0:05:03 > 0:05:07we've all got to earn a crust. I get mine from making jewellery.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I'm not really an expert.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14I try to get an ancestral connection when I'm making 'em.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15From the materials?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Well, they're actually made from parts
0:05:18 > 0:05:20from scrapped South Korean scooters.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25So somebody else's scooter-driving ancestors?
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Maybe.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Maybe, you might be on to something there.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Anyway cut a long one short.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Luckily, Teresa's cousin Rocky was coming up here
0:05:33 > 0:05:35to a gig by a Motorhead tribute band.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I have got a little bit of backache after riding pillion for four hours,
0:05:38 > 0:05:40but needs must.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44So, what is it you do?
0:05:44 > 0:05:45What?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Oh, I'm a doctor, GP.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Never.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50- Yeah. - Never.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52No, I am.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54It's really funny you should say that,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57because I had my palm read by Teresa's partner's auntie,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00while Rocky was putting oil in the chopper and she said
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I was going to have a very important encounter with a healer.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Never. - Yeah, those very words.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Did she say he'd be tall, dark and handsome?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11She's more of an interpretive reader
0:06:11 > 0:06:14than one who's into specifics, you know.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16But, hey! Fate!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18ALARM RINGS
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Oh, I'm just going...
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Yeah, you carry on, I'm just off to the loo.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Oh, hi, I'm looking for the medical room.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Oh, thank you so much.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31I want a word with you.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36Patients to see, places to go, all the usual stuff.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39You're trying to get them together.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Who?
0:06:40 > 0:06:44It wasn't Howard who asked for Niamh to be at the conference.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49You saw a chance to get her and Al together in the same room.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Look, Karen,
0:06:50 > 0:06:55it's like when you put two things in a Petri dish
0:06:55 > 0:06:58and then over time, something will grow.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01I'm not sure that was the image I needed.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Al and Niamh are mad for each other, but left to their own devices,
0:07:03 > 0:07:05they'll never get it on.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08There's a slight inconvenience of a third party.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Oliver!
0:07:10 > 0:07:11All's fair in love and...
0:07:11 > 0:07:12War.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18The work of opposites, the contest of polarities.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Light and dark, sun and shade,
0:07:21 > 0:07:24the eternal battle of good and evil,
0:07:24 > 0:07:26fought over worlds and galaxies
0:07:26 > 0:07:28and within the heart of man.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Monsters and gods.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36From the advent of storytelling...
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Sorry.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43From the advent of storytelling, the pull of these opposites...
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- BREATHLESS:- Sorry.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49..has been a driving dynamic.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50'Sorry.'
0:07:50 > 0:07:52This is the theme of our conference.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Oh, sorry, was that your foot?
0:07:54 > 0:07:58The theme of our conference is the exploration of what that
0:07:58 > 0:08:00dynamic creates -
0:08:00 > 0:08:03change from conflict,
0:08:03 > 0:08:06transformation from opposing forces...
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Oh, he is brilliant. I've read everything he's ever done!
0:08:10 > 0:08:12..men of high purpose,
0:08:12 > 0:08:14seduced into evil.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21But, to whom do we ascribe the term "monster"
0:08:21 > 0:08:23and by what transcription is this suggestion of evil?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25(Monster, monster, monster.)
0:08:25 > 0:08:27(Monster, monster, monster.)
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Or as Mary Shelley says, "No man chooses evil because it is evil,
0:08:31 > 0:08:34"he only confuses it for happiness, the good he seeks."
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Monster!
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Leaves us in no doubt, that impulses rise up from within.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47HE CHUCKLES
0:08:47 > 0:08:53To illustrate the point, a film compilation - From The Shadows.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Doesn't seem to be a bad sprain.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00But if it gets any worse, make an appointment at the Campus surgery
0:09:00 > 0:09:02with one of my colleagues. They'll look after you.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04OK? Take care of it, bye.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06MOBILE PHONE CHIMES
0:09:27 > 0:09:30They say he's slept with 1,000 women.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32Who?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Blake Calverly.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37No wonder they used to call him the "Rock God of Steampunk."
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Though "Rock God" makes me think more of Robert Plant
0:09:40 > 0:09:41with his shirt off.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43There's something about a man with a bare torso
0:09:43 > 0:09:46and tight leather trousers.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Yeah, I was going to wear mine, but it looked like it might rain.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Hey, I wasn't saying there was anything wrong with men
0:09:53 > 0:09:55of more generous dimensions.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Au contraire, as they say in France.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Mostly.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04I suppose you'd be more into biopunk?
0:10:04 > 0:10:05What?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Being a doctor, I suppose you'd be more into biopunk than steampunk.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Genetic malpractices, apocalyptic virus outbreaks.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Actually, I'm more into hard sci-fi -
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Asimov, Lem, Kim Stanley Robinson.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21So, you're very scientifically-minded then?
0:10:21 > 0:10:22Mm.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Fantastic.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26There's something brilliant about a man who knows
0:10:26 > 0:10:29the difference between warp speed and parsecs.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36GIRL SOBS
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Are you OK in there?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46I just wanted to see if you need any help with anything.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Atopic dermatitis.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Yeah, that's what my GP says.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24Hazard of using industrial strippers on ferrous metals.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28What have they prescribed you? Hydrocortisone or similar?
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Think so.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- You shouldn't wear long sleeves. - No?
0:11:33 > 0:11:37It gets dust and bacteria into the wounds. Infects it more.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Destined for the caring professions, weren't you?
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Actually, I was destined for scientific greatness.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48And still you might.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- You reckon? - Yeah.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51I'm good with auras.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55You have a glowing penumbra of intellectual assurance.
0:11:57 > 0:12:03As you've just seen, monsters and gods clash within us
0:12:03 > 0:12:06and the effect is on the world without.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08To return to Mary Shelley's greatest creation
0:12:08 > 0:12:12and in the words of her creation's own creation,
0:12:12 > 0:12:18"I have love in me, the like of which you can scarcely imagine."
0:12:18 > 0:12:21"And rage the like of which you can not imagine.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25"If I cannot indulge one, I will satisfy the other."
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Thank you.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Look, Mr Calverly!
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Mr Calverly.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Just really interested.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Why do you think that Frankenstein is Mary Shelley's greatest work?
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Its subversion of the Prometheus story, erm,
0:12:54 > 0:12:56themes of Faustian overreach
0:12:56 > 0:12:59and it was the first science-fiction novel.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Well, not if you include Voltaire's Micromegas
0:13:02 > 0:13:04or Kepler's Somnium.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Yes, but according to Aldiss...
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Well, according to Sagan and Asimov, it's Somnium.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14And that's not even including The Blazing World
0:13:14 > 0:13:16or Underground Tales.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Right, well, you can't deny the influence of Frankenstein.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Yes, it is a seminal, seminal piece of work,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24but it's not Shelley's greatest work.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- That's The Last Man. - The Last Man?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Oh, you don't know it?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30I think you'll like it, I'll get you a copy.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Plague has devastated the world, and one man is left alive.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36It's a devastating critique on the timidities of medicine
0:13:36 > 0:13:40and an absolute refusal to put man at the centre of creation.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45Right, well, it does sound just a little nihilistic.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46How so?
0:13:46 > 0:13:51Well, do you really think the human condition is one of isolation?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Al?
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Niamh?
0:13:54 > 0:13:55Why?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Howard drafted me in for medical cover.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01"A beauty come cresting across the Emerald Sea."
0:14:01 > 0:14:05- Blake Calverly. - Niamh Donoghue.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- Doctor. - Beauty and intellect.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09That's a rare combination.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13I need to show you something.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Oh, my word, sorry!
0:14:18 > 0:14:20No, no, no, no.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Trying...
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Oh, well, that's easy.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27- Yeah? - Yeah!
0:14:27 > 0:14:30"Blake Calverly", self-explanatory,
0:14:30 > 0:14:33unless it's on about another Blake Calverly, which it might be,
0:14:33 > 0:14:35but I doubt, as he's actually within the building.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Wow, that's a deduction of Sherlockian dimensions.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Actually, common misconception.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Sherlock gets to his conclusions by a process of inductive reasoning,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46not deductive.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49"12:00", does what it says on the tin.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51"Hour of the Rock."
0:14:52 > 0:14:56"Hour of the Rock" is from the Tiberius Cycle.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57Blake's earliest novels.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01On Lothar, one of the moons of Tiberius,
0:15:01 > 0:15:04the People of the Plains are committed to the truth, right,
0:15:04 > 0:15:06and if one of them is found to be telling an untruth,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09they're taken to the mile-high Rock of Igtur,
0:15:09 > 0:15:11their arms are bound and then...
0:15:13 > 0:15:14My word.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Someone's going to do him in.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- Alyson. - The truth.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- I... - You didn't tell the truth.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26..be afraid, Alyson...
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Don't be...
0:15:31 > 0:15:32What's she going to do?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Drag him to the top of the building and throw him to his doom?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36I think we should take it seriously.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I'm not saying we shouldn't, but we don't know who she is.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40We don't even know if this is a real threat.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43A friend of mine once had a message scrawled on the windscreen
0:15:43 > 0:15:44- of his car. - What was it?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Vauxhall Astra.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Oh, "Evil will visit you."
0:15:49 > 0:15:50Did it?
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- It was a punk band from Lampeter. - Oh.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54They couldn't afford advertising
0:15:54 > 0:15:57so they went round spraying their name on random vehicles.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00I don't think this is a case of artistic promotion.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Maybe it's revenge.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Someone's offended by really bad prose.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Well, she did seem really troubled.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Perhaps we should call the cops.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10What, and tell them we've found a message in the ladies' loos?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Well, I think we should just try and find her.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Er, no pressure like,
0:16:14 > 0:16:17but there's less than ten minutes before the Hour of the Rock.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20Come on.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22A Petri dish?
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Welcome to the Dr Clay matchmaking service.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27It was just an analogy.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29We just need to get them in the same room together.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- And the magic will happen. - Cynical.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34It's right, though, those two could be stuck together
0:16:34 > 0:16:36in a room for years and nothing would happen.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37Bet you a fiver.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39It'll have to be more than a fiver, big boy.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41OK, then, one of those Ferrari track days.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Whoever loses buys the other one a day at the track.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46All right, you're on.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47You say they'll get together,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I say that Al will bore her to death,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51talking about spaceships fuelled by real ale.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54We could check it out.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56What? The sci-fi conference?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Mm-hm.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Well, you'd fit right in
0:16:59 > 0:17:01but I'll have to borrow something a bit spammy.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05How's anything going to happen with you two lurking around?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Maybe we go in disguise.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- You lied. - I didn't.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12It was summer.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13'Alyson.'
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I was off school, remember?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Alyson, it was... - You came into my room.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19'There's no need to be afraid.'
0:17:19 > 0:17:21"Don't be afraid." That's what you said.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- PANTING:- Please, please. - But it wasn't OK. Things weren't OK.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- BREATHLESS:- Pass me my briefcase. My briefcase.- Your fault.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30'Don't be afraid.'
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- It was your fault! - Please, the case!
0:17:33 > 0:17:39She's kinda cyber-punk, Goth, er, black clothes, eye liner.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Well, it's not the easiest place
0:17:40 > 0:17:42to look for someone kind of funny looking.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44There! There!
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Excuse me.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Never mind, sorry.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53I think this is the moment when one of us says split up.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Right, we should go and search in different directions.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Top idea.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Hello?
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Anyone?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Hey! Can you hear me?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18I'm going to look after you.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Right, now, take nice, easy breaths.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32There you go.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Now, I could call an ambulance.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- If you have had an episode, then I would advise it.- I'm OK.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41"Hour of the Rock."
0:18:41 > 0:18:43That's what she wrote, on the bathroom mirror.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47"Blake Calverly, 12:00, Hour of the Rock."
0:18:47 > 0:18:49She wasn't trying to kill me.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Is she just some kind of deranged fan, is she?
0:18:54 > 0:18:55She's my daughter.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59We used to spend our time between London and LA.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03My mum was English and we lived mostly over here.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08But he had one of his stories optioned by the studios.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11It was the summer I turned 15.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14I knew it was wrong.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16I knew what I did was wrong.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22It was the Pacific Coast Highway.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24We were driving back from a party in Malibu.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27My wife, Maria, wanted to drive.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31I said, "Let's call a cab," and she said no.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36I called one anyway and they said there'd be a wait of an hour.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39She had a meeting the next morning, a big client,
0:19:39 > 0:19:41and was insistent that she got home.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45So, I gave in.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48It was just north of Santa Monica
0:19:48 > 0:19:50when we were blindsided by the truck,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53put the car into a spin, Maria couldn't hold it,
0:19:53 > 0:19:55there was a concrete wall and...
0:19:55 > 0:19:57He walked away.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00My mother was killed...
0:20:01 > 0:20:03..and he wasn't touched.
0:20:04 > 0:20:0512:00.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10That's when he told me my mother died.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14That's when everything...stopped.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- But, if it was an accident... - He made her drive.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20He's always lied about it, always said it was her.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23She had a meeting, some big contract.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25But he drank.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28He was alcoholic and he was mean when he drank.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31I know he made her drive.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32He'd done it before.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35She didn't like driving in the States, she was nervous,
0:20:35 > 0:20:37it was the wrong side of the road for her and...
0:20:37 > 0:20:40..she swerved out in front of the truck.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Police said maybe it was a reflex
0:20:44 > 0:20:46or maybe she just pulled to the wrong side.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I should have been stronger.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53More insistent, taken the keys.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- But... - So, what's with all the messages?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Well, Alyson, she's always held me responsible.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04She was diagnosed bi-polar, as a child.
0:21:04 > 0:21:10And she'd already had a couple of episodes before she was 15.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13And I got her treatment, the best, but...
0:21:14 > 0:21:17..she moved back here to go to university.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Soon as she was alone, I became a figure of hate.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26The calls...the e-mails.
0:21:26 > 0:21:31And, whenever I'm over here, she turns up and...
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Asks you to tell the truth.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- Honey, I've always... - What do you want to try?
0:21:36 > 0:21:37A polygraph?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Or maybe a Voight-Kampff test, see if you've got any humanity at all?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- No, that's not fair. - You killed my mother.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43I didn't.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45You made her drive.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- She wanted to drive! - You were drunk.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51You wanted to get back.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54The taxi couldn't come, mum didn't want to drive,
0:21:54 > 0:21:56but you insisted.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00You made a scene, you made her feel so humiliated, she said yes.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01Alyson, maybe...
0:22:01 > 0:22:03You know he hasn't drunk since?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05That's guilt.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08He can write about The Hour of the Rock.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11He can write about liars being purged on the page.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13He just can't admit it to himself,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16can't admit that she died because of him.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19BLAKE SOBS
0:22:24 > 0:22:26She helped him when she gave him the nitro spray.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28She couldn't let him die.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29She could have.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32No, she knew the truth. She just wanted him to admit it.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35What was that test that she was talking about earlier?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37The Voight-Kampff Test?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39It's from Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Which they made into an excellent film in 1982, called Blade Runner.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Now, the test is to see whether humans are humans,
0:22:44 > 0:22:46or whether humans are actually replicants,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48because replicants, they can't feel anything.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51And you two are very empathetic.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- What? - I told you, I'm good with auras.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Yours are burning really brightly,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58they're almost phasing into each other.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00I don't believe in auras.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Just because you don't believe doesn't mean they don't exist.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05MAN SPEAKS WELSH
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Dim problem!
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Hang on.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11- Was that Welsh? - Yeah.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15And you said Howard sent you here?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Well, it was actually Jimmi suggested it.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18Of course it was.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Well, this must have taken quite a bit of planning.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22You were excellent.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25They look just like two ordinary werewolves
0:23:25 > 0:23:27hanging out at a sci-fi convention
0:23:27 > 0:23:32when in fact we know them better as Dr Jimmi Clay and Dr Kevin Tyler.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35It's not them.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38THEY LAUGH
0:23:38 > 0:23:41You thought that was Jimmi? What?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44They're my mates, from Aber.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47So, this Jimmi bloke, he's Welsh, is he?
0:23:47 > 0:23:48Yeah, he's very Welsh.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50And you thought he'd roped me into...?
0:23:50 > 0:23:53THEY LAUGH
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Oh, that's brilliant.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Jimmi, it's Al.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Yeah, I uncovered your rather pathetic attempt at playing cupid,
0:24:03 > 0:24:06I had expected better of you.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08SHE GASPS
0:24:08 > 0:24:09OK, OK, it's OK.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12I'll help you dislodge it, OK? OK, just wait, wait.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15OK, don't worry.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16OK, up, up, up, up.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19I've got you, I've got you.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Oh!
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Al!
0:24:28 > 0:24:32- She just started choking! - The Heimlich didn't work?- No!
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Right, I need you to help me.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- We need a pen, a hollow pen. - A biro, I need a biro!
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Tracheotomy?
0:24:44 > 0:24:45No.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Al?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Cricothyroidotomy.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Pen, please.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01AIR HISSES SHE GASPS
0:25:09 > 0:25:11It's OK, it's OK.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Mate, we heard what happened!
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Everything OK?
0:25:22 > 0:25:25You decided on a cricothyroidotomy, then?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Well, it was 50-50 so I thought I'd go for it.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29I know what it is,
0:25:29 > 0:25:31but why did you decide on that as opposed to a tracheotomy?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33That's because the carotid and the arteries
0:25:33 > 0:25:35and jugular veins are either side of the trachea
0:25:35 > 0:25:37so if you make your incision in the wrong place then...
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- Well, Al made the right choice. - Dr Ice.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42To be fair, I couldn't have done it without Dr Donoghue.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- Oh, no.- No, seriously, we were all really lucky you were here.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Beers after work, then?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Yeah, we'll get em.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56So, Jimmi set us up.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00Yeah, yeah, and without any assistance from the Taffia.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01We should go on a date.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05A date? What, what, me and...?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Who else would I want to go on a date with?
0:26:07 > 0:26:11I don't know, someone with more pros than cons?
0:26:11 > 0:26:14OK, that was Emma's idea, and I would never have...
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- Look, it's fine. - It's not.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20And it didn't mean anything, I'm really sorry.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I'm going to talk to Oliver.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Oh, right.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- I just need to check... - Yeah, Friday.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Friday.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Actually...
0:26:37 > 0:26:41SHE LAUGHS
0:26:41 > 0:26:42OK.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44BOTH: Friday!
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- Depression? - Yes.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54HESTON CHUCKLES
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Because of you, my son's a wreck.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Because of your son, my daughter's dead!
0:27:00 > 0:27:02You're not going off to have a baby, are you?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05No, locuming, I don't want to do it any more.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Oliver, it isn't you, it's...
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Sorry, I've got a meeting with a colleague.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14- Oh, I'll go.- No, no, please don't. I'll be as quick as I can.
