Good morning, Dr Clay. Now, just to remind you about our meeting today?

-Huh?

-At lunchtime.

-While Daniel and Zara are still away?

-It is just a catch-up. Now, I have asked Dr Carter to join us.

-Why?

Well, I think we can manage as normal without them.

-Fine.

-Thank you.

-Praise the Maker! ALL:

-Praise the Maker!

And be of service in His name.

Do your best, everyone.

-Are you OK?

-Yeah, fine.

Where are you today? Your outreach?

-The university.

-Me, too.

I think I'll join you today.

-Are you ready, Mark?

-Yes, Julian.

Are you sure?

Praise the Maker!

-BOTH:

-Praise the Maker!

-Any sign of life?

-No, I've let him sleep.

Hibernate, more like.

Do you know, today I thought that I'd take another shot

-at trying to cheer him up.

-How?

-I don't know. Just try and get him to open up, you know.

-How are you going to do that?

Go downtown, watch a film.

Anything to get him out the flippin' house.

Good luck with that.

Thanks.

Good morning. Would you like to hear some good news?

-Have strength. Are you with us this morning, Mark?

-Sorry, Julian.

Let me show you. Would you mind if I ask?

-How many times have you smiled today?

-I don't keep count.

But you have smiled? And what is it that makes you happy?

-Does God make you happy?

-Not always, if I'm honest.

-And why is that?

-Could you tell me?

-I really don't have the time.

You don't have the time? For God?

Mark?! He's bleeding!

-OK, let me have a look.

-We can manage...

-I'm a doctor.

-OK, right.

-Has this happened before?

-All the time.

-No, I'm fine.

No, you're not!

-Lizzy...

-OK, you need to come with me.

-KAREN:

-'Adam...'

SHE KNOCKS ON DOOR

'Are you awake?

'Can I come in?'

So, listen, do you remember that

film you were talking about way back when?

Well I've booked us a couple of tickets.

We're talking popcorn, the whole nine yards.

Nah, you're all right.

Oh, come on! We'll make a day of it. Bite to eat, bit of shopping,

'spoil ourselves rotten.

'Adam, you can talk to me.'

'What about?'

Anything you like!

-PHONE RINGS

-Sorry.

Yeah. Yeah, speaking...

-Here we are. Mark...? Sorry, what's your last name?

-Hopwood.

Mark Hopwood.

Are you registered with us, Mark?

-Are you a student?

-No, he's not.

Right, in that case can I take some details? Date of birth?

28th of August, 1995.

-And address?

-Is all this absolutely necessary?

-Yes, it is.

-Then you can contact us here. Through me.

Would you like to come through?

If you'd like to take a seat.

DOOR SHUTS

Yeah, no...of course. We just need to work out a time.

OK? Yeah, good. Bye.

Oh, wow... You hungry?

-Who was that?

-Amanda.

-She wants to see us tomorrow.

-What for?

I suppose to work out what we're going to do next.

Mum's going to get better. And then I'm going home. Simple.

Why don't we talk about it when we go out and have something to eat?

-Like what?

-You can have whatever you want.

Burgers, pizza? Go on, go and get ready.

-I could do pizza.

-Yay!

-Takeaway, though, yeah?

SHE SIGHS

Do you suffer from headaches?

No...I just feel a bit weird sometimes.

-How many times a day?

-Not every day.

-He's probably just overtired.

Why don't you just have a seat over there?

Have you eaten today?

We have an excellent organic diet.

-And I don't suppose drugs or alcohol are an issue?

-Need you ask?

-How long have you been doing this?

-Five months.

-What were you doing before that?

-I was here at uni.

-Oh. What were you studying?

-Engineering.

-Engineering.

-How do your parents feel about all this?

-He has a scratch on his head,

-which you have now attended to...

-Could you just leave us alone, please?

Mark?

Thank you.

-I need to arrange some blood tests.

-Why?

-Blood sugar, thyroid, other things.

-Come on.

-Why can't you let him just speak for himself?

-I speak for the Maker.

Because He is the one that will heal him. And in time will heal us all.

For the out tray, thank you.

-Thank you very much.

-It's our pleasure.

-Perhaps you'd like to read one of these?

-Thank you.

-Praise the Maker!

Praise the Maker.

(Well!)

He wouldn't leave that boy alone for one second. "Follow the truth!"

-What a lot of nonsense!

-Just filling their heads with mumbo jumbo.

-Now, hold on one minute...

-Really, Mrs Tembe?

I know he was a little abrupt.

But until we know all the facts we should not mock their faith.

Adam, it's here! Adam? Oh you're here. Come on, look see.

I got a hot one, which I know you like. Ooh, hallo!

And there's a meaty one.

-And if there's anything we'll just have it tomorrow.

-Great.

Unless, of course, Rob spots it first, and then you've got no chance.

So I suggest that you fill your boots. Come on, get stuck in. Whoops.

Cheers.

No!

Yeah. Hi, it's Karen.

-Have you spoken to Rosie?

-Straight after this.

Now, I would like to begin with a proposal.

Five libraries have closed in our area and the council is

looking at alternative ways of providing a book-lending service.

So what's it got to do with us?

Well, I thought we could have one at the Mill. Just a few books

-on a trial basis.

-Why?

Well, you know that I am always trying to raise our satisfaction rating.

Yes, we're going to clog up Reception even more?

It would be a wonderful way to engage with our community.

Why don't we start selling coffee at the same time?

-Oh, I think it would help promote thought and reason.

-Why's that?

-Well, reading does have clinical benefits.

-Yeah, I know that.

-There's the books-on-prescription scheme.

-What about hygiene?

-Hygiene?

-A load of second-hand, dirty books floating all over the place.

Oh. Hardly think that's an issue.

-There would have to be quality control.

-Absolutely.

I'd suggest modern classics. Some non-fiction...

Why don't we just see what the other partners say?

Oh, they cannot possibly mind.

What, you think Zara's not going to mind us turning into a charity shop?

I don't think it will do any harm.

Dr Clay, it really would be on a trial basis.

Now, the Well Woman Clinic.

I have been thinking of changing the date.

How are you feeling?

-I'm fine now.

-Praise the Maker.

-Praise the Maker.

I'm afraid I blame myself. I've been pushing you too hard.

-No, that's OK.

-12 hours' outreach was a little too much.

-I still didn't make the target, though.

-Let's pray for strength.

Maker, heal my body and soul.

Maker, heal my body and soul.

Maker, heal my body and soul!

Maker, heal my body and soul!

-BOTH:

-Maker, heal my body and soul!

Maker, heal my body and soul!

-Maker...

-Heal my body and soul!

-Shouldn't you be getting back to the group?

-Maker, heal my body and soul!

Maker, heal my body and soul! Maker, heal my body...and soul!

Oh, Sid. Thanks ever so much for coming.

-It's no problem.

-Yeah, but you've given up your lunch.

I didn't have anything planned.

-There's loads of pizza, if you...

-So, where is he?

-Upstairs, as always... There's no shifting him.

-Teenagers, eh?

I've tried everything that I can think of.

There's no getting through to him.

It's like he's a completely different lad.

-It's no wonder, though, is it?

-Yeah, but it's been weeks.

And I was thinking, you being Jackie's GP,

he might start to accept it if he hears it from you.

-Fine, I'll give it a go.

-It's the first on the right.

So you don't think books carry germs?

Is that what you're trying to say? Or do you think it's my OCD?

-Is that what you're saying?

-Not really.

-That's what it sounds like you're saying.

-Good afternoon.

-Oh, good grief!

-Can I help you?

-We wondered if we could speak to you all for a moment?

-No, thank you.

-Wouldn't you like to hear some good news?

We've had enough good news today.

Then perhaps we could leave you some of these? For your patients.

-Certainly not.

-Would you like one?

-Not really.

-Please read it.

-Would you like one, too?

-No, I'm fine, thanks.

-You're very kind.

-Sorry, what's this?

-Praise the Maker! ALL:

-Praise the Maker!

It's a shame, really, cos they're so impressionable at that age.

Look.

KNOCK ON DOOR

How's it going?

Smells great down there, doesn't it? Must be melted cheese.

You just can't beat that smell, can you?

Tell you what, there's one thing I won't understand, not in a million years.

-Why would you put pineapple on a...?

-What do you want?

-I just thought we could have a talk, mate.

-About what?

You, I suppose.

I'm good. So, is that it?

-And there's your mum.

-What about her?

-I'm not saying she's not going to get better...

-Course she is.

..but it can take a long time to recover from a stroke.

-Yeah, I know that.

-And then there's all the physiotherapy...

-So?

So she's going to need full-time care for quite a while now.

Nah. You don't know what she's like.

-Adam, I've seen quite a lot of these cases...

-I don't care.

-Would you just listen to me...?

-She is getting better!

DISTANT SINGING

Do you think you'll be safe in there?

-Oh, I should think so. Just wait for my signal.

-What signal?

-I don't know yet.

-What sort of signal...?

-And keep out of sight!

Valerie. Stay calm.

DISTANT SINGING

Ah.

Come on, come on...

-You still here?

-Look, all I'm saying is...

-Yes, I heard.

You need to start thinking about yourself. Your future.

Why don't you speak to your social worker, eh? Or with Karen.

-Work out a plan.

-No point.

-OK. Let's say you're right.

-I am right.

Let's say you're right and that everything works out fine.

-How long do you think that's going to take?

-I don't care.

-Six months?

-A year, maybe?

-And...?

-So, what are you going to do for all that time?

-Just hide yourself away up there?

-So what if I do?

-What about school?

You're going to have to go back some time. And Karen and Rob?

-What about them?

-Do you not think you need to talk to them?

They deserve that much, don't they?

They're the ones helping you out here. Mate, I know it's hard.

But what do you think your mum would want you to do?

Just sit round here feeling sorry for yourself?

That's no good for anybody, is it? You or them. Adam...

DOOR SHUTS

# Sing hosanna, sing hosanna to the King. #

Enjoy your meal, everyone. Let's keep it to 30 minutes. Mark,

-how are you feeling?

-Fine...

-Excuse me.

-Would you mind?

What are you doing here? I came to see my patient. Have a seat.

I'm sorry but I will have to ask you to leave.

-Have you had any more dizzy spells? Or headaches?

-No.

-He's been praying. Haven't you, Mark?

-Mm-hmm.

And as a result, he feels a lot better now.

-Glad to hear it.

-Praise the Maker. Praise the Maker.

Is that the signal? Heston? Heston?! Oh!

-Have you had any mental health issues?

-How dare you?!

-Anxiety, panic attacks? Depression?

-What are you implying?

-I'm talking to my patient.

-Mark... Will you leave us now, please?

-When I'm finished.

-Mark...?

PHONE RINGS

-Yes?

-You didn't answer my question.

-Hello. Is that Julian Crawley?

-How can I help you?

Well, I was reading one of your leaflets this morning.

-Uh-huh.

-The yellow one. Temple Of Followers.

-I'm aware of it.

-Yes, I found it very...informative.

-Thank you.

-I'm very busy at the moment, so if you could...

-'I was just wondering if I

'could find out a little more about your beliefs?'

-Then perhaps you should come in and see us.

-'For example,'

When you say that the Maker will lead you to the truth...

-How did you get this number?

-..do you mean that quite literally,

or is it more in the metaphorical sense?

-MUSIC PLAYS THROUGH WALL

-Didn't make much of a breakthrough,

-I'm afraid.

-So I can hear.

-He just seems determined not to face it.

-And you explained about Jackie?

Mm. As best I could.

-What am I going to do, Sid?

-It's hard to say.

Well, there must be something!

Just give him time?

Is that it?!

Well, I made it pretty clear. So hopefully something got through.

I still don't understand why you're here.

My life was empty.

You were at university, studying engineering.

-Before He found me.

-"He"?

-The Maker.

What do your family say?

We're not allowed contact for the first six months.

Why do you think that is?

Mark, I know you're suffering.

-Can I go now, please?

-And so does the girl you were with.

Lizzy?

And this Maker...

-Is he a "he" or a "she", do you think?

-This isn't the time.

Because I think that we do most of the making, don't you?

I'm not here to judge you.

I have bad thoughts about her.

Bad thoughts?

I have impure thoughts. All the time.

I try to keep my mind pure,

but it only gets worse. The harder I try and the more I keep praying...

Which is why you have the panic attacks.

-I'm very sorry...

-'Now, my neighbour, he thinks we all come from aliens.'

I'm really sorry...

-'Mr Williment. He lives three doors down.'

-I really must go now.

But he is a bit odd, though, really.

Apparently, he's got cameras in his hanging baskets.

-Still, it takes all sorts, doesn't it?

-Goodbye.

-No, come back!

-Bye.

-Come back!

SHE SIGHS

Come with me, Mark. Will you just leave us alone?

-I'm just a bad person, I must be.

-You sound pretty normal to me.

-I just want my mind to be clean!

-Such is the work of the Devil.

-Well, it's called anxiety disorder.

-It's called evil!

-Maker, heal my body and soul.

-The more you ignore this, the worse it will get.

-BOTH:

-Maker, heal my body and soul. Maker, heal my body and soul.

-Will you just stop?

-What is your solution? For him to turn his back on God?

-Return to a life of sin?

-You can't just pray this away!

Or stuff him full of medication, perhaps? Your poison!

Mark, you have nothing to be ashamed of.

-BOTH:

-Maker, heal my body and soul. Maker, heal my body and soul.

Maker, heal my body and soul.

'Maker, heal my body and soul.'

-Is he all right?

-They're praying.

-But isn't there anything you can do?

Not unless Mark wants me to.

You care about him a lot, don't you?

-Of course I do.

-I think he cares about you.

But it's against the rules.

We must not be distracted by worldly thoughts.

-Our first duty is to the Maker.

-And the Maker is God?

The Maker and God are as one.

Is the Maker a man?

He is God in human form.

Is he celibate?

No, the Maker has many companions.

I don't know why God would want you both to be so unhappy.

-And did you tell Mark that?

-Maybe you should tell him.

Lizzy, go to your room.

I never want to see you here again.

I think that's very unlikely.

I find your behaviour appalling.

-Well, the feeling is mutual.

-And you will be punished.

-In what way, exactly?

"Let he who brings my followers to doubt be cast into the

"eternal fires of Hell."

-One of the Maker's, I presume.

-Shame on you.

-On you both!

-Well?

-Did it work?

-I'm not sure yet.

Maker, heal my body and soul.

Maker, heal my body and soul. Maker, heal my body and soul.

Maker, heal my body and soul. Maker, heal my body and soul.

-Mark?

-Maker, heal my body and soul! Maker, heal my body and soul!

-Mark, stop.

There's nothing to heal.

I told you to go to your room.

-Leave her alone!

-You wicked...

-Don't listen to him, Lizzy.

-Don't you dare defy me!

I'm sorry, Julian.

Where do you think you're going? Get back here this minute!

Take one more step and you are lost to the Maker!

Your lives will be as nothing! You will be turning your back on God!

You will never set foot in His house again!

You are walking away to the Devil! Get back inside. Go on!

Cast these foolish disbelievers from your minds!

They are nothing but weak and lustful!

And they will burn in eternal hellfire!

Get out of my sight. All of you!

And don't you dare speak of this!

I pity you! All of you!

-Do you think we upset him(?)

-Only slightly(!)

Dr Clay.

I have contacted the council about the library idea.

And I must say, they seemed very supportive.

-Right, was that before or after the meeting?

-I'm sorry?

-So did you do it on purpose?

-Did what?

Wait till Daniel and Zara were away to arrange all of this.

-No, of course not.

-What about Heston?

-I do not understand...

Did you agree this with Heston before, you know?

Dr Clay, it is just a few books.

And I can assure you, it will be transformative.

Guess who made it through the group stage.

Didn't you ever play libraries when you was a child?

No, never.

-The, erm, photographs are back out there. I take it you know?

-Yeah.

Well, I can see you are terribly burdened with your workload.

Well, the place was quiet.

Karen, let it go,

# Let it... #

No singing!
