“Serve God, Love Me and Mend” · Season 2

In this episode: Mitchell (5), George Sands (4), Annie Sawyer (3), Ivan (3), Nina (1), Lucy Jaggat (1)

Someone's been sick in the shop. Some days it's all about the poo but today everyone's...being...sick.

So, that was weird.

I don't know how to talk to you. I know I came on too strong the other day but now...Oh my god, I've become my flatmate.

Okay, look, the replacement goldfish you gave me--

Trevor.

I love him. We have such a laugh. He was the perfect gesture. And...and that's the speed I'm comfortable with, not forever, but just until I get my head... [Sighs.] Trevor was genius.

So...what do we do now? Do I buy you another goldfish?

No, no, see you've gone weird again. How about a coffee?

(Vienna 1999, Carl has Mitchell tied to a chair trying to help him get clean)

Let me go. I've changed my mind.

CCarl

That's tough.

I'm not ready.

CCarl

I remember saying that when I was tied to the chair.

Just let me out, let me go out onto the street and we can start tomorrow.

CCarl

We've already started Mitchell.

(Another man enters)

Dan! Let me out! Let me out you queer or I'll rip your throat out! Rargh!

CCarl

Apologise.

Piss off!!

CCarl

Mitchell, please apologise.

(hangs his head) I'm sorry, Dan. I'm so sorry.

DDan

Are you OK?

CCarl

Yes, just leave us.

How long is this gonna take?

CCarl

Depends, maybe six months.

Why are you doing this?

CCarl

Because it's what you'd do for me.

I'm pretty sure 'werewolf' didn't come up when I spoke to my careers teacher, but life is full of disappointments.

One of the times I tried to properly quit drinking blood, I was living with this vampire, Carl. And he helped me. He's been clean for, what-- I don't know-- twenty years now--

You...um, sorry. You lived with someone...before me?

...What? Yeah, lots of people.

But--Who?!

...Vampires? People-people, I don't know!

Peo--oh, well, that's it.

Oh, god. Don't get all--

What? What?

You! Don't get all you about this. Of course I've lived with other people. You think I've spent the past hundred years waiting for you and your...three different kinds of upholstery cleaner to show up?!

You are being careful aren't you?

Thanks, but I think I'm a bit old and dead for the contraception conversation.

Hugh is like a brother to me.

Oh, promise me you'll never tell him that.

I think he's really sweet.

Really sweet? Oh my God! Why not just stab him in the face? A brother? Annie, trust me, the only man who'd ever want to hear that is your actual brother.

Okay, two rules for Ivan's car: no food or drink and I get to choose the music and tonight we shall be listening to Miss Kate Bush.

[to Mitchell] He's your murdering fugitive. If you want to keep him, then you have to look after him.

What is it with me and volatile, unsuitable men? Be honest, am I Ulrika Jonsson?

Fifty years and still the same car?

Been keeping her in storage, you know what it's like. If it goes, has a good body and you like being inside it, why get rid of it? It's a recipe for a happy marriage, too.

You think this ends tonight? [laughs] This is just the beginning. Today it's Carl, tomorrow it's someone else. It's like I said, you're sliding into chaos and there's no safety net now. They've been in hiding since Herrick died but they're gonna get hungry soon, then you're going to be waking up to headlines about vampires.

If we did declare ourselves, but not the way Herrick wanted, but if we could just stop hiding.

What, are you imagining some kind of peaceful co-existence? It'd be chaos! Worldwide panic. Good news for religion, mind, especially Christianity. There'd be standing room only in the churches all of a sudden. And as soon as they knew about vampires, they'd know about werewolves, they'd know about ghosts. They'd be next. And when humanity had finally finished with us, it would turn on itself. First the other religions, massively in the minority now, then the homosexuals, the disabled...do you want to know what the future looks like? Enforced worship in churches a mile high, and every country surrounded by a coral reef of bones. But fuck it, maybe it should happen - there's nothing on TV at the moment.
