In the Flesh Page #2

---

KIEREN:

(flat, as if reciting)

I am a Partially Deceased Syndrome

sufferer.

DOCTOR SHEPHERD:

And?

KIEREN:

(same tone as before)

And what I did in my Untreated

State wasn’t my fault.

DOCTOR SHEPHERD:

Good.

Dr Shepherd ushers Kieren out of room into lobby.

CUT TO:

2A INT. PDS TREATMENT CENTRE - CORRIDOR - MOMENTS LATER - DAY 1

2A

KIEREN exits Dr Shepherd’s office, looks down the corridor at

a long line of other TREATED PARTIALLY DECEASED PEOPLE

waiting for their final consultation. Kieren is one of many.

KIEREN:

Could you maybe talk to someone,

Doctor Shepherd. Say that I need

more time.

DOCTOR SHEPHERD:

(shakes his head)

It’s going to be good for you,

going home.

Kieren fixes Dr Shepherd with a look-‘That’s what you think’.

CUT TO:

3 EXT. ROARTON VILLAGE - DAY 1 3

A panoramic view of the small rural village of ROARTON in

Lancashire. It’s a remote, location surrounded by woodland,

that’s in the books as an “Outstanding Place of Natural

Beauty”. And from this hill top view it certainly seems like

it. But looks can be deceiving... if you look really

carefully you may catch sight of a gibbet, left over from the

rising, in the distance.

CUT TO:

4 EXT. WALKER HOUSE - DAY 1 4

A detached, pebbledash house at the end of a cul de sac.

Outside the house, a FOR SALE sign in the front garden.

CUT TO:

5 INT. WALKER HOUSE - KIEREN’S BEDROOM - DAY 1 5

A small bedroom. Outlines of posters on the walls, boxes of

music magazines under the bed. This used to be a teenage

boy’s bedroom. Fleetingly we see a self portrait of Kieren

Walker.

SUE (47) and STEVE WALKER (48) are showing BEN (34) and

JOANNE (30) around. Steve has a huge fake smile painted on

his face. He’s nervous. He’s desperate for this to go well.

STEVE:

(nervous, babbling a bit)

Fantastic room if you have

children... or guests...or, uh,

strangers round ever.

Ben and Joanne nod, a bit confused.

JOANNE:

Does the bed come included?

STEVE:

What you see is what you get.

CUT TO:

6 INT. WALKER HOUSE - LANDING - DAY 1 6

METAL CORE MUSIC is heard loud as they approach a bedroom.

BEN:

Someone likes to rock and roll,

‘ay?

Steve laughs a bit too loudly. Sue knocks on the door.

SUE:

Jem. We’re coming in.

Sue opens the bedroom door and the noise becomes deafening.

CUT TO:

INT. WALKER HOUSE -JEM’S ROOM - DAY 1 7

Evil looking rock posters cover the walls. Black clothing is

strewn everywhere. A devil’s head bong is visible. JEM WALKER
