Life on Mars

S1 E6: Sam hears his mother’s voice saying goodbye to him and that his life-support machine is to be turned off at 2pm. He is terrified; he’s alive and determined to make himself heard. But how, when he is still stuck in the 1970s? Before he can do anything, a call comes in about a man who has taken people hostage at the local newspaper, the Manchester Gazette. The gunman is threatening to kill the hostages at 2pm. Is this Sam’s way of saving his life in 2006?
