The Night Caller

Tony Conroy, a disgraced science teacher, works at night as a taxi driver in Liverpool. One evening, he is recognised by a former colleague who remarks that the way Tony was treated was unfair.

Tony is still buzzing with adrenaline from the hit-and-run and decides to clean the taxi, but he sees that it is damaged. While Rob puts him in touch with a dodgy garage owner, Tony wants to meet his hero Lawrence; Ste is in a coma.

Tony is cared for in hospital by one of his former pupils and collapses when she tells him what he meant to her. The police come to question him, but Tony outsmarts them; Rob is threatened to give Tony his address.

When Tony and Lawrence confront each other, Tony discovers that Lawrence lied about his cancer. As they get to talking, Tony confesses that he hit Ste, leading Lawrence to try to flee.
