Life on Mars · Season 2
[Sam's back in present day and is in a meeting]
Sam look at your hand.
[He looks at his thumb which is bleeding from an accidental cut] I can't feel anything. [ Life on Mars? starts playing in the background]
What?
Excuse me. [He leaves]
[Sam has just returned to 1973 and to where the shoot-out is]
Tyler!
Sam! Help us!
[Sam shoots the last remaining gang member who is about to shoot Gene again]
Now that's just showing off.
[To Annie] Are you alright?
[She nods]
I told you I'd never leave you.
Well, good for us!
[Sam tries to help Gene to stand up]
Get off. I'm not a fairy!
[angrily] I got shot because of you!
I know. I'm truly sorry, Ray.
Still, I met a bird, medical bird.
Called nurses.
Big tits, arse like two cox's pippins in a bag.
She sounds enigmatic.
No, boss, she was from Barnsley.
[Sam is looking around the pub for Annie and Phyllis notices]
Go and find her.
What?
I'm not just a sex goddess, I've got eyes. Go on. [She gestures to outside the pub]
[Sam's back in the present day; this is spoken as a voiceover]
My name is Sam Tyler. I had an accident and I woke up in 1973. I had no idea if I was mad, or if I was in a coma, or if I'd gone back in time. It was like I'd woken up on a different planet. But I knew that if I could find out the reason, that I could get home. DI Sam Ty- [He checks himself]... DCI Sam Tyler, Greater Manchester Police.
Tell me...
Tell you what, Sam?
Tell me what I should do, Annie.
[Pause]
[Emotionally] Stay. Here. Forever.
Okay, then. I will.
[They kiss]
[Gene pulls up in the car]
TYLER! Put that soppy plonk down and get in! Blag on at Archer Lane, shots fired, lovely! [Chris and Ray emerge from the pub] You two tarts, get in! And you, flash knickers!
You shouldn't be driving with that leg.
Well, I am.
You were shot.
Yeah, and so will you be in a minute if you don't get in!
[On the car radio, Sam hears a doctor speaking]
We're losing him. Sam? Sam?
[Can hear heartbeat go faster then flatline.]
I hate this channel.
[Sam switches radio channels and Life on Mars? quietly plays. Sam turns the volume up.]
That's better.
What are you doing, Raymondo?
Can't get the door shut.
I should be driving.
You drive like my Aunt Mabel!
If you injure someone while driving this, it's technically a criminal offence!
Oh shut up, you noncey-arsed fairy boy!
[smiling to himself] Such elegant banter! Try and keep under 70, oh, and radio for uniform!
I don't need plod getting in the way!
It's procedure! You're not above the law, you know, guv!
What're you on about? I AM THE LAW!
Yeah, in your dreams.
