    It's 1827. You live in Edinbrugh, Scotland. Aziraphale and Crowley visit a statue of Gabriel, where they find a woman called Elspeth digging up graves at night for cadavers. Aziraphale tries to persuade her to change her ways, stating that this act is immoral, but Elspeth needs the money she earns from selling these corpses to survive. Aziraphale and Crowley discuss the morality of it all, and how some people are good, and some are evil. But Crowley argues that people aren’t all born equal. They head to a surgeon, who is desperate for fresh corpses. While chatting with the surgeon, it becomes apparent that these cadavers are actually serving a purpose. They are helping teach and train the doctors of tomorrow so that they can save lives. Aziraphale has a change of heart and decides to help Elspeth dig up more bodies. Unfortunately, Elspeth’s friend Morag is shot by a grave gun and dies. Elspeth sells her corpse and swipes the surgeon’s laudanum. She hates her life and wants to end it all, so she decides to drink it, but Crowley manages to snatch it from her and drink it himself. Being immortal, the poison makes him terribly drunk, and it makes him show a more good side of himself, telling Elspeth that killing yourself is wrong, and telling Aziraphale to hand some money to the girl, for her to start a new life. Aziraphale has to leave, and he is left wandering around the apparently empty graveyard.

    It's late, must be past ten in the evening, and you are wandering around the graveyard of your city. You may be there to see someone's grave, or just out of boredom, but at some point, while you walk around, you are met with quite the sight. A man, all dressed in black, swaying from side to side, blabbering about what seems to be.. Heaven, and Hell, and a fall, if you got that right, and, through his swaying, he trips on his own feet and ends up on the floor, his top hat sliding off his head and falling a few meters from him.
