![]() ![]() Martin loses his temper and says Chick killed Rash. Two young lads who have been copying Rash and perving at the living keep mocking Chick. ![]() Chick saw a group of lads chasing Rash (unnamed) and then he was hit. Liz joins them and they all awkwardly observe the car couple have sex.Īt Chick's mum's house, Chick tells Martin how his death was a mistake. In the back of their car he tells Martin they should stick with this couple as Mandy has to be up in front of a judge early so will drive them back to the city. Later, in an all-night garage Martin sees Rash is following a couple who are a bit wild. Later she rows with the dead man who is stalking her and then she apologises to Martin. He asks Liz if there is any route out of town except the last bus at 11. Martin wants to leave so he doesn't miss his assessment. His send-off is in the paper for the next morning and Rash wants to stay so Chick can say goodbye to his family. The runaway isn't polish (Wozcek) at all, but called Chick. They realise his Dad lives in town and is a 'starer': someone dead who does nothing except stare into space. Later, they spot the runaway and give chase, but lose him. She hides when another dead man appears - she used to know him and says he can't take a hint. Martin meets a woman in a library, Liz, and realises he can read a book or newspaper alongside a living person if they turn the pages. They set off to find the runaway and reach a seaside town. Rash is irritating, talks a lot and enjoys this strange afterlife far more than Martin. Martin is assigned a new co-worker, Rash, and starts to encounter difficult newly-dead clients, such as a criminal with a name he cannot pronounce who runs away. ![]() Martin hopes that the new role will earn him credit that could lead to his being allowed 'up there', literally up a staircase to a zone that is presumably more pleasant than the re-start centre. Martin tries to fake positivity and another dead person befriends him before the two are assigned roles as carers at a hospital to guide the newly dead. Two 'carers' came to assist him into a waiting zone called a 're-start centre.' In this place Martin attends group counselling sessions where positive thoughts are encouraged. He also indicates that the dead are not ghosts and cannot walk through walls or move things. Martin addresses the camera to explain he died in a traffic accident and is now dead.
