So you followed me halfway across London?

Er, I'm yeah, I'm really I'm really sorry.

Really, really sorry.

Well, it's comforting to know I'm

not the nuttiest person in there.

I can erm yeah. Er

- I-I-I better go. S-s-sorry again.

- Hey, what's your name?

Er

- It's Chris.

- Well, Chris

Why don't we grab a coffee? You can pay.

Make up for the whole, you

know Stalking thing.

- No, I-I-I better - Buy me

a coffee or I'll call the police.

Great.

My name's Michael, by the way.

Michael Coulson.

Come on.

"Been to over a dozen therapists.

"Each of them trying to find

the exact nature of the problem.

"Outsmarted them all, of course."

Yeah, we're all in hell.

Some of us just don't remember

why we've been put there.

There's more to her than meets the eye.

- Who?

- Fisher.

Not exactly clear

what's going on, but, er

Let's just say she's not exactly

disinterested in her patients.

You know, she wants me to see

another therapist? It's most odd.

Says we'll be the perfect fit. Very insistent.

Won't let it drop.

- Well, are you gonna go?

- Yeah, probably.

Just out of curiosity

more than anything else.

See who this super psychologist is.

What's his name, the other therapist?

Morland. Alexander Morland.

It's quite a grandiose name, isn't it?

Right, let's go back to Waterloo.

- What line do you need?

- Er, northern.

Oh, Christ. Wouldn't wish

that on my worst enemy.

I'll get us a cab. I'll pay. Come on.

"I'm really sorry, Chris."

I've just found out that I've got

I'm ill.

It's quite serious, I'm afraid, so I'm

gonna have to take some time off.

I'd like to recommend another person

you might consider seeing.

It will give you continuity. You wouldn't

feel like you were starting from nothing.

Christopher

I think we've made a lot of progress.

This doctor's called Morland.

Dr Alex Morland.

When we study to become psychotherapists,

we have to undergo therapy ourselves.

It's part of our training.

And Alex, Dr Morland

he was my therapist.

Christopher?

Will you consider it?

"She says he's right for both of us.

Does that strike you as odd?"

I just think she wants someone else

to pick up where she left off.

Oh! That's a lot of pills.

Oh. Yeah.

I should, er I should become a dealer.

Well, it struck me as odd. Very odd.

Oh, I, er I was there, you know.

At Morland's. Two days ago.

I won't say any more. I want

to hear your first impressions.

Chin-chin.

Trousers down for half a crown!

Christopher? Come in, come in.

Let me take your coat.

Usually, my man would be here to take

it, but he's on his annual day off.

Did you get here ok?

Er, yeah, sorry. I was delayed,

theThe train was
