Baseline obs look pretty good.

- But otherwise not much response.

- OK, one minute.

- One minute.

- Put her in room six.

- Are you OK?

- It's been a crazy week.

Number six again.

Today on Radio 4 with

John Humphreys and Edward Stone.

Hello?

Yes?

Oh, yes?

Oh, my God.

No, no, no, he hasn't been here.

What do you mean,

has he contacted me? Where is he?

Um... yes.

Well, you'll... you'll call me back.

You'll call me back when?

Well...

Well, of course.

Yes. Yes, I will.

I'm very sorry. Goodbye.

No, I'm sorry.

I tell you what,

these are the last names...

Did you call my mother?

Hm?

Did you call my mother?

Yes.

The staff nurse spoke to her.

Let me guess.

She wanted to know if you were OK.

But not enough to come down here.

Right?

I'm sorry.

- Would you like me to...?

- No, no, no.

That's all right. Please carry on.

I look after a church myself.

I'm a warden.

Back in Cambridge.

It never stops, does it?

It's the same.

Actually...

I'm here looking for somebody.

My son.

Would you...?

I don't know.

I see so many here. Every day.

I can imagine.

What?

What is it?

He is lost.

Yes, he is.

That's why I'm looking for him.

Could I...?

Please.

I'm sorry.

I haven't seen this person.

That's all right. Thank you, anyway.

If you needed to find someone,

the best place to start

was the Faith Registration Centre -

Meanwhile's melting pot of the pious.

Every creed, cult, religion and doctrine

pass through these doors,

all looking for the same sense

of belonging and hope.

I just hoped that Wormsnakes

had managed to hold onto his job.

Next!

He's in there.

Nothing had changed.

This was still a living,

breathing testament to the insanity

of the Ministry's grip on this city.

Please be advised that queue-jumping...

A free blessing

for every donation we receive.

Hi, I'm Teri. How can I help?

I'm looking for somebody

who works in the kitchen.

Oh, OK. I just need you

to enter your faith for the record.

- Why?

- For the register.

What's your faith?

What's yours?

Well, at the moment, I'm with

some Seventh Day Manicurists.

But I'm thinking of changing.

The level of discussion isn't great

and we've nearly run out of colours.

It's probably not your thing.

If you just want to sign in.

Thank you. I've seen all I need to see.

OK. Don't mention it and God bless you.

Hi, I'm Teri. How can I help?

You're not allowed to smoke in here.

Do you think?

I saw you come in. Last night.

May I talk to you for a moment?

I can...

...buy you a hot drink.

Please.

We get many suicides.

Oh.

I heard the paramedics talking.

So you know the whole story.

My name is Pastor Bone.

It means "bread of life".
