"Me and Molly have the bedroom, and she sleeps through there." "Oh!" "Well, that's, um... well, three generations of women, all living under the same... damp patch." "Um, have a seat - I'll just be a minute." "My dad used to sit there." "Sorry, sorry." "That's where the cat sits." "You can sit on the bin if you like." "What's your cat's name, Molly?" "Molly." "Your cat's called Molly and you're called..." "Molly?" "My dad really liked the name." "Do you like cats?" "Yeah." "I couldn't eat a whole one, though!" "Who am I kidding?" "Of course I could."

"It doesn't smell as bad as I thought it was going to." "You're a... you're a ghost." "And, erm..." "Say hello." "And this is a very small ghost!" "Sykes told me about you." "Did he?" "Yeah." "He's told everybody - you're a celebrity." "No, I'm not, really I'm not." "But you've resisted death, like, three times." "Four." "Technically, four..." "Oh, my God, I've been so dying to meet you." "Oh, stop." "I'm blushing!" "Oh, OK." "Oh... good." "Er, right, so how long have you two been...?" "Erm, about a year." "Leaky boiler." "Me and the little 'un went to sleep and didn't wake up again, did we?" "So will he stay, like, a baby for ever?" "Well, until we cross over." "The landlord's in court next month." "So if he gets sent down, then we're out of here." "God knows what then, though." "They must have some kind of system, mustn't they, for ghost babies, like a creche?" "Probably." "Hey!" "You seem like a responsible kind of girl - got your own place, no criminal convictions." "We can trust you?" "Oh, no!" "No way..." "Please." "I've met a dead fireman." "I don't want to scare him off on a first date." "I'm really clumsy and I'll..." "I'll just drop it!" "It doesn't matter, he's already..." "Look, please, there's literally no-one else I can ask." "There you go." "OK." "Shh." "Erm, two hours, but that's it..." "Cross my heart and hope to, erm, whatever." "He's good as gold, honestly - he won't be a problem." "And, erm, normal rules apply." "Keep him clean, happy, and, ooh, where's your thermostat?" "Over there." "Cos you know how with human babies you have to keep 'em warm?" "Uh-huh." "Not ghost babies." "The colder the better." "Bye-bye!" "Are you looking for anything in particular?" "Nah, just still getting my head around it all." "Do you want a brew?" "The kettle's on." "No, I'm fine." "I think I'm done here, anyway." "Everything all right?" "OK." "I'll see you later, yeah?" "I've been dreaming about my ex." "I tried to recruit her, but no-one had shown me how, so she... she just died." "I haven't thought about her in 15 years." "And there was all this stuff I'd forgotten." "You know, this... this little scar from when she fell off a swing." "Her accent." "And sometimes..." "It's fine." "This is normal." "It's part of the process." "I don't know where it's come from." "It's terrifying." "It's like I'm being chased." "Campbell, you've got to stick it out." "It happens." "It'll keep happening, but then it stops." "This happened to you, too?" "Yeah." "In glorious technicolour." "How much longer?" "!" "Just coming." "Thank you." "Get in there." "Why did you do it?" "You must have had a motive." "No-one kills without a motive." "You didn't even know those girls, did you?" "I didn't need to know them." "They were in a bar, they were up for a party and now they're dead." "Tomorrow I won't even remember what they looked like." "I don't believe you." "Even if you said you enjoyed it, it would make more sense." "You're an only child?" "Does it make a difference to anything?" "Not really." "I was an only child." "I'm sure your parents are proud of the way you've turned out." "My parents have been dead a very long time." "Did you kill them as well?" "Why would I want to kill my own parents?" "So how many people have you killed?" "Don't know." "It's hard to say." "More than a hundred, less than a thousand." "Hey." "Look at you!" "You look like death." "Thank you." "Erm, a week of nights." "Now I'm going to go home, eat proper food and lie in bed for two days listening to road works." "Live the dream." "But seriously, if you're too tired for tomorrow night..." "No, no, no, no." "You can't back out now." "I've already downloaded Nigella." "You don't need to do that." "I want to make an effort." "I'm going to impress you." "Do you know what?" "Bake it, boil it, hydrate it, whatever you want to do, I'm cool with that." "Do you want me to bring anything?" "Em... a sense of humour." "All right." "Erm, I'll see you tomorrow - 8 o'clock?" "Brilliant." "See you then." "An interesting mating ritual, as seen throughout the animal kingdom." "The male flaps and fusses, seeking attention, the female refuses, until eventually the male flaps hard enough and the female succumbs." "This one doesn't end in mating." "I think you underestimate the allure of the devil." "I signed on to this to study the genetics of evil." "Since when did assassinating vampires become part of the brief?" "The brief is to combat evil in whatever shape we find it." "If he's clean, as he says he is, then what's the urgency to deal with it?" "We have a duty to future generations... .. as well as to those already lost." "No remorse?" "And does this make it easier to do it?" "This - what is it?" " this role you play?" "Oh, why couldn't I have taken a mute hostage?" "!" "That was my last question." "Yeah." "It makes it easier, OK?" "So it's an act." "You said no more questions." "That wasn't a question." "Why are you being like this?" "Oh, so you can ask questions." "You're a funny little thing, you know that?" "I'm not scared of you." "Maybe that's why I'm being like this." "At least, not as scared as I probably should be." "Yeah." "You should be terrified." "I should be married to David Bowie." "You should be begging for fucking mercy." "Is that what they did?" "Look, whatever your name is..." "You want me to tell you my name?" "I want you to shut up." "I can tell you my name." "Shut up!" "I still don't understand why you do it." "It's complicated." "Take your time." "I'm tied to a bookshelf." "Seriously, do you never stop?" "Do you know what else I think?" "No-one's even asked you this before." "I had to kill them, OK?" "!" "I didn't have a choice!" "That's the first thing you've said I actually believe." "You have to kill them... .. but you don't really want to." "Bye!" "Well, I've made some lousy first impressions in my time, but that, that's up there with the best of the worst." "Trust me, you did brilliantly." "The last boyfriend I introduced her to, she bit!" "You never mentioned your mum lived with you." "Ah..." "Technically we live with her." "When we got kicked out of our last place she put us up for a few weeks." "That was six months ago." "Well, can't you get somewhere else?" "I can find loads of flats." "I just can't afford any of them right now." "So now you know it all." "Single mother, penniless, lives with her mum, can't hold down a relationship." "I'm just going to turn my back now for three seconds, to give you the opportunity to run for the hills." "One... two... three." "You bastard!" "However crap a prospect you think you may be," "I am far, far crapper." "I couldn't even hold down a job at that shitty awful language school!" "Oh, no, no, no, the department you work in is infinitely..." "I'm beginning to see what you mean!" "Hello, Annie." "What the f..." "What is that?" "!" "A baby." "It's one of mine." "How long have I been gone?" "!" "No, I mean... a ghost." "I'm baby-sitting..." "Oh, and I can't find the off button!" "Please just take him." "Oi, oi, oi!" "Hello, Mr Potato Face!" "Eeh..." "What did you do?" "Nothing." "I just smiled at him." "He's a cute little thing, isn't he?" "Here he goes!" "He's a bit cold." "What's his name?" "What are babies usually called?" "Tim?" "Brian?" "Annie, I'm going to ask a very serious question, and I'd like a serious answer." "Did you steal this baby out of a supermarket trolley?" "Of course I did not!" "No, I'm doing someone a favour." "Trust me, a baby's the last thing I want." "I thought all women got broody." "Well, maybe I'm different." "This was on my "to do" list." "With the tranquillisers and the cage and stuff?" "No." "My old "to do" list." "A job, a wife and a house full of children." "Well, you can still have all that, can't you?" "Other people get to do that." "We're not other people any more." "What are you making?" "Let's call it a last supper." "One of the few things I like about you is you don't call supper "tea"." "There are many things I hate in this modern world - secularism, showbiz news..." "But "tea"... is barbaric." "I could have a team of men waiting." "I know what I'm doing." "Then, at least... accept this." "It was cut from a church pew in the late 13th century." "It saved the lives of Father Ashby and a dozen priests who worked with him." "Please." "Be careful." "There is an attraction there." "It could make him volatile, unpredictable." "It makes him vulnerable." "Help me." "He's in my flat." "That's him." "What took you so long?" "I had to get a uniform just to make it through the front door." "What do you reckon, eh?" "I could walk into Buckingham Palace in this!" "Still using a granny knot, Mitchell?" "How many times have I told you?" "Use a reef!" "What's he like?" "!" "Handsome little bugger, isn't he?" "Have you ever wanted children?" "I've thought about it." "You know, back when I was..." "I dunno, you've got to be with the right person, don't you?" "And not dead." "Yeah, that helps." "And does it bother you now?" "A lifetime without kids." "A very long lifetime without kids." "Does it bother you?" "Here, look, he likes this." "Hello, my name is George." "Yes, that's my name." "My name is George and..." "That's funny." "Yeah, that's..." "that's really funny." "I'm going to take him for a walk." "He likes scaring the ducks." "We're going to scare some ducks!" "Hey, The Real Hustle's on later." "We could split a pizza, make a night of it." "Oh, I'd love to, but I'm having dinner with Lucy at her place." "Ah." "Sounds promising." "Yeah..." "I think we might finally be getting somewhere." "Good things come to those who wait." "Oh, whereas Sam and I are rushing things." "Is that what you were saying?" "Actually, no, I wasn't." "But if you want that conversation, then, yeah, I think you need to slow down." "Why?" "So I can miss out again?" "No!" "This may be my only opportunity for a normal, happy family life." "George, there'll be other girls." "Other Ninas, maybe." "No." "Nina was the opposite of what I needed." "You mean somebody you loved?" "Well, who's to say I don't love Sam?" "Well, do you?" "I care a great deal for her." "You "care a great deal for her"!" "Wow." "Yeah, they should really put that in a Valentine's card." "George, you may want a normal family life but, whether you like it or not, you'll never be a normal family man." "You need somebody who gets you, the real you." "Ooh, and Lucy gets you, does she?" "She accepts you for what you are?" "Maybe someday I'll tell her the truth." "Then you're an idiot." "Relationships have secrets." "No-one can know every square inch of somebody else's soul but it doesn't mean they're doomed to fail." "No, you're wrong." "I had someone like that." "Someone who knew everything about me." "Yes, but that was 40 years ago." "Who's your friend?" "Herrick." "He's like me, only... more so." "Mitchell, can you do me a favour?" "What?" "Don't use my name." "Can you do it?" "Do what?" "Kill me." "That's how this ends." "Can you do it?" "Not him." "He's..." "I'd prefer you to do it, if you can." "Mitchell, wait." "Please." "This is between us." "It'll never leave this room." "I know you're not like him." "You want this to end." "You have to feed the monster." "It's like keeping a ball in the air." "If it drops..." "You have to feed it, because otherwise... this panic creeps in." "And it's not withdrawal." "It's terror." "You start seeing their faces again." "You think you've forgotten them, but they come back." "The smell of their hair... the taste on their lips... the last thing they said." "The only way to stop is to kill again." "You see, it's not an addiction." "It's cowardice." "It's not being able to face the alternative." "Have you ever tried to stop?" "Would you like to try again?" "What are you like with heights?" "Forget about it, mate, I'm not jumping." "There's nothing else for it, then, I'll have to take you out the front door." "Well, I've gotta make it look good, ain't I?" "You are loving that uniform, aren't you?" "Er..." "Oh, now, what about that girl?" "Oh, she's cool, she won't say anything." "Well, if you don't have the stomach for it..." "Herrick, Herrick, it's fine." "She's cool." "Seriously." "I have it sorted." "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!" "Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry..." "I went to your flat but your mum said you'd left already." "Here." "I made it myself." "Cheese and pickle sandwiches, no crusts, two pieces of fruit and a juice carton." "I had the exact same lunch every day for seven years." "What do we say, Molly?" "I have school dinners." "That was very sweet of you." "Eventually she'll love me." "It may take a hundred years, but..." "I'll get there." "Only took me a couple of weeks." "Ooh." "I'm a big fan of cheese and pickle, too." "Mummy will be back in just a minute, so just chill out." "If you stop crying I'll give you..." "Â£5." "OK, I'll give you Â£10." "Just tell me what you want." "And the baby bear said, "Someone's been sitting in my chair," ""and they've broken it!" I know!" "No?" "I don't really know any other stories." "Well, except... there is that one about... about a woman and she's... she's driving down a quiet country lane, alone, and she picks up this hitchhiker..." "She noticed that his bag was still there, on the passenger seat." "So she reached over, opened the bag, and there... inside was her twin sister's head." "Of course." "Of course." "You like the ghost stories." "OK, I'm just going to blurt this out." "It's probably easier that way." "Normally I'd drop hints, try and gauge a reaction." "That was old George." "Old George had a few problems on that score." "New George doesn't." "New George makes decisions." "You know, speaks his mind, grabs life by the nuts, blurts things out." "Well, I haven't noticed much blurting yet, new George." "Yeah, you're right, I'm doing it again." "OK..." "I'm going to ask Sam and Molly to move in with me." "Here?" "They're in a shitty little flat with Sam's mum." "It may just be temporary, it may be a little longer." "I just wanted to, er..." "sound you guys out on it." "Well, where will they sleep?" "Well, erm..." "Sam will be in with, er... with me, obviously, and..." "Molly can have..." "The cage?" "No, not the cage!" "Forget the cage." "The cage will obviously have to go!" "Molly can have my room." "Thank you, Annie." "That's incredibly... generous." "Are you sure?" "Yeah." "Yeah, Tim and I can make do down here." "Er, Tim?" "My baby." "Annie, it's not your baby." "Well, the mother's gone AWOL." "And..." "Shh-shh." ".. if she doesn't come back, I'm adopting him." "Right." "OK, that's a bit weird." "But thank you." "Mitchell?" "No." "No?" "No." "Not in a million fucking years." "George, get a grip." "This woman is wrong for you." "We love each other." "No, you feel sorry for each other." "You've known her, what, two weeks?" "I'm sorry, but do the words "rushing in" not leap into anyone else's head here?" "And you!" "I'm surprised at you, indulging him in this insanity!" "It..." "It's not insanity, it's positive!" "This was meant to be a family home." "It'll be a lovely atmosphere for my baby." "Oh, that's it." "You're all crazy!" "No, it's different for you." "I'm going to grow old, you're going to stay the same." "That's why I want change and you want everything to stay the way it is." "I'm sorry, but they're not moving in." "And the same goes for Casper over here." "If you guys want to play happy families then go for it, but not under my roof." "Well!" "Come on, Tim." "We know where we're not welcome." "Yeah?" "Thanks, mate." "What are you doing?" "Well, you heard him." "You can't just go." "I want Sam to be a part of my life." "If that means losing a friend then that is what I have to do." "# Next time, baby, I'll be" "# Bulletproof" "# I said next time, baby, I'll be... #" "Ahh." "He loves that song." "Where have you been?" "!" "Oh, the dead-fireman date thing went really well." "We ended up hitching a ride on a fire engine, sirens blazing, the whole shebang." "You've been gone for a day and a half!" "I said I was sorry, didn't I?" "Actually, no." "No, you didn't." "Well, I am." "Come to Mummy..." "Why are you doing this?" "Yesterday you wanted to abandon him." "And today I want him back." "That's motherhood." "How do I know you're going to look after Tim properly?" "Who the hell is Tim?" "Your baby!" "Listen, honey, I think it's really sweet that you and Rufus have bonded, but he is my son and I am taking him back." "I'd like to see you try." "Yeah." "There you are." "Well, you're not the only one who can do that." "Yeah, you kind of have to be biologically linked to pull that one off." "Bye, then!" "Worth a try." "Oh..." "He really likes it when you blow on his tummy." "What with being his mum, I know that stuff." "Course you do, yes." "Thank you, Annie." "I know I'm a crap mum, but I'm the best he's got." "But we'll see you around." "What's it like?" "You know, having one of your own." "Exhausting." "Terrifying." "Expensive." "But, um, it's worth it, all the same." "I've left it too late, haven't I?" "You weren't to know." "George." "I think I just moved out of my house." "Why?" "Because I want to be with you." "But not here, not there, but somewhere." "Somewhere that's ours." "With a shop nearby." "And a bakery." "But not like baking you get in the petrol station, proper baking like pies and buns." "Whoa, George, slow down..." "You need to move, I need to move." "Give me one valid reason why we shouldn't do it." "Money?" "Two." "Give me two valid reasons." "We hardly know each other?" "No?" "OK, my mother's maiden name is Herrod, my Internet password is "password1"," "I'm indifferent about all competitive sports, and I prefer lager to beer." "I don't understand fishing." "What is fishing?" "I'm scared of cancer," "I voice hypocritical objections to drive-through takeaways, and I lost my virginity on a canal boat in Tring." "Favourite colour?" "That would be gamboge." "It's kind of orangey-brown." "I know you think this is moving too fast for any sane person to deal with, but I am sick of moving slowly through life." "So let's do it." "You, me, Molly." "A family." "This is... very sudden." "Yeah." "Yeah, I've rushed it, I've rushed..." "I've rushed it, I've blurted it out, I've..." "I've ruined it." "No." "Not ruined..." "I just..." "I need some time to think... .. and talk to Molly, see what she wants." "Yeah, of course you do." "Course you do." "I should go." "Your, um..." "Your mum probably wants to sleep." "She's out." "She spends a few nights of the week at her sister's." "You can stay over... if you want." "Yeah." "Hope you don't mind, I let myself in." "The other day I gave you the opportunity to do something good and just, but you refused." "That hurt." "Luckily, I'm a benevolent and forgiving kind of guy, so I've decided to give you a second chance." "Another go at your kiddie fiddler, is it?" "Released on bail two hours ago." "He should be home by now, watching Tracy Beaker with a box of tissues." "I thought you could pay him a visit." "Being your private lynch mob was never part of the deal." "You know, I don't think you understand the nature of our relationship." "When I say "jump", you ask how high." "Because if you don't, you see, well, we step back." "We let you kill, and we investigate." "And we round you all up and burn every last one of you." "And the whole world will know what you are, and who stopped you." "You ever read any Lewis Carroll?" "No." "It's this childish world, this... topsy-turvy world, where up is down and animals talk." "It's bonkers." "I love it!" "And it's a lot like being a vampire." "See, we've gone through the looking glass, Mitchell." "And all those... all those qualities we had when we were human... mercy, for example." "Such a commendable quality in a man, such an indulgence now." "I'm going to tell you a secret, but I think you already know it." "Becoming a vampire doesn't change your personality." "That's just a little lie we tell the newcomers to help them through their first few kills." ""Oh, what's happening to me?" "!" Munch, munch." "It doesn't change the personality." "It liberates it." "A vampire... is the only truly free man." "All his darkness, all his excesses, they can run amok." "He wants a girl, take 20." "He wants a boy, go ahead, just give the place a bit of a hose-down after." "The world is his." "The only limit... is his imagination." "D'you remember when we met?" "That forest in France?" "D'you remember our deal?" "Yeah." "You said if... if, er..." "I let you take me, then you'd save my men." "Why did I do that?" "Have you ever wondered?" "No." "I haven't." "Because I could see in you... .. a great man." "A terrible man." "An orphan maker." "A breaker of hearts." "Now, these... people, these children of Darwin, they'll tell you that you're wrong, that you're a monster." "Because they're jealous." "Because they're in chains." "Now, that... little scratch of conscience... .. that's a lie." "That's not... who you are." "Now." "Go and kill... that... girl." "Are you someone's dad, then?" "Afterwards, call me an ambulance, put the door on the latch." "Every time I think I've beaten it." "But it's sleeping, that's all." "It doesn't die, it doesn't stop." "It's in my bones." "I am going to get help." "I've made up my mind." "This has been like a sign." "No, this time I am going to get well..." "Shut up." "Time was, I would've killed someone like you in a heartbeat." "But not any more." "I have to lead by example now." "That's good, isn't it?" "Tomorrow you're going to the police station to tell them everything." "I don't care." "Make something up because you need to go to prison." "I've been to prisons." "Fellows like me..." "You need to go to prison!" "You'll be safer in there with 500 murderers than out here with one of me, do you understand?" "Oh, for..." "Get out, Vicky!" "Come on, I'm T minus 30 seconds!" "Get out!" "The deal is off." "I'll say when this ends, not you." "So is he dead, Drakefield?" "I told you, I'm not a killer." "None of us are killers now." "Sure you are." "You're just going through a rough patch, that's all." "You'll come good again." "I'll see to that." "Look at you!" "You're like a dog that's been switched to a diet of dried food." "You're losing all your shine." "You see, there is a natural order to all things." "And you're upsetting it." "We've barely started." "I've got dozens of names and you've got dozens of soldiers, and eventually someone will fall." "And then another, and then another, and then we'll be back to our beautiful bloody chaos." "This abstinence, this... sudden morality, that's not who you are." "All right." "Good lad." "Now, go back... and put that animal to sleep." "We'll have a drink after." "You see?" "Partnerships." "They all go through ups and downs." "We'll laugh about this!" "What happened?" "I was attacked." "I was coming out of the hospital and..." "I don't know, these two kids came out from..." "OK, don't." "What?" "It's very important that you don't lie to me." "However shocked you think I'll be, the next thing that comes out of your mouth, it has to be the truth." "What are you?" "I'm a vampire." "Thank you." "OK, OK." "Well..." ".. we can start from there." "You knew?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I knew." "And you're not scared of me?" "No." "At least, probably not as much as I should be." "What did you say?" "I thought you were changing, I thought you were abstaining, I thought you were safe." "I am." "Mitchell, look at you!" "You're covered in someone else's blood!" "There's people out there who don't believe that we can change." "Who?" "Tell me, who?" "What, what people?" "They want to make us savage again." "They want the chaos and... the horror." "And..." "I can't allow that to happen." "I have to protect... all of us." "And all of you." "Mitchell... this is all... just lies you cannot justify." "You're right, everything you said is..." "I think it's under control, but..." "it's just sleeping, this rage, this hunger, it's in my bones and I want to stop." "I..." "I've gone clean before." "It's possible, if the conditions are right and everything is in the right place, I know I can do it." "What conditions?" "Just someone to help me!" "Someone to change my life for." "That's what I've been missing all this time, it's just someone to..." "Just someone like you." "I can do this." "One more chance, that's all I need." "I want this so much, but I can't do it alone." "Please." "Please, I'm begging you." "Save me." "Help me." "Why should I?" "Because I can't help myself." "I don't even know your name." "It's Josie."
