SHE MUMBLES
Mart?
Mart?
I think Dadi's got a headache,
Menna!
What do you think?
What do you think?
How are you so sprightly?
Sprightly?
Sprightly?
Yes, sprightly.
Seasoned party animal!
That's why you married me.
Right, hey!
Her swimming bag's under the stairs!
Menna, love be a good girl.
I'm off to work, see you later.
Love you.
Love you.
Cheerio, Mam.
Ta-ta, love. Ta-ra.
Ta-ra.
BEEPING
Bollocks.
No petrol, Mart. Sorry.
Love you.
Cheerio, Mami.
Great. Thanks, Mam.
Good morning.
You missed me last night then.
You're much better company
as a balloon.
Mart drank your share of the wine.
He's like a fart this morning.
He's like a fart this morning.
Good boy.
Who's in theatre today?
Kimberly.
Oh
Oh
Mm-mm, I'm on a break.
That's my breakfast!
That's my breakfast!
Learn to share!
Sara Prescott's condition
has deteriorated.
I've pushed her
to the top of your list to be safe.
I noticed. Thanks.
There's an anaesthetist
in the theatre already.
Yeah, I heard.
Listen, I want Emyr with me.
Just to be safe.
Has Aitken ever said no?
No.
Do you think I'm a control freak?
You?
No, never!
Blood pressure's dropping.
Hypotensive, tachy.
Haemorrhaging.
Three units on the way.
We can run the first unit and a bag.
Running the bag stat.
Found it.
Cauterizing the bleeding vessel
How's she looking?
Fluids are running.
Second lot of bloods are running.
Blood pressure improving.
Pulse coming down now nicely.
I'm bloody starving.
A man needs his breakfast.
I'll buy you a bacon bap
on the way home.
Mr Rees?
Hi.
You haven't met.
You haven't met.
No.
Ellie, nice to meet you.
Becky Hoyles, F2.
Gimme a ring if you fancy
doing something tomorrow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Tomorrow.
I'm just going
Going to?
SHE PANTS
STRAINED PANTING
SHE VOMITS
SHE CRIES
OK?
Do you need help?
Please
..I don't want to talk.
I don't want to think.
.
Alright, sweet cheeks?
You stink of aftershave.
Is that what the youngsters like?
Is that what the youngsters like?
She's not that young.
If Hywel finds out you're seeing one
of the students, he'll go ballistic.
He won't find out.
Is Luce here?
Is Luce here?
I'm always here.
Who said I was seeing her?
Who said I was seeing her?
How do you live with him?
I ignore him.
Right, I'm off. Ta-ra.
Hi. I've been working on a new
project. Fancy a sneaky peek?
Go on, let me see.
It's not finished yet.
Luce. That's brilliant.
Think so?
Think so?
I love it.
You can have it
when I'm done with it.
Sell it.
Sell it.
I want you to have it.
I just hope I can sell the others.
How's it going?
How's it going?
Slow.
A shop in town was meant to take
some stock, but they pulled out.
Shit.
Shit.
Yeah. Shit.
I'll be eating beans on toast
for the rest of the month.
Hey, fancy some fresh air?
Stop touching my bits!
Your bits!
Maybe I should do a PGCE.
Don't look at me like that.
Don't look at me like that.
You don't like children.
I like Menna.
I like Menna.
That's not sufficient.
I suppose not.
I'm just sick
of being skint all the time.
I still haven't paid Ems
last month's rent.
Can I help?
No.
He's been great, fair play.
I still feel guilty
and shit about it.
Things used to be so simple.
Roll out of bed, make enough money
to pay the rent
..and party our guts out.
Take me back.
Really?
Nothing's perfect.
I'd rather be in your shoes.
Money, husband, amazing job.
Does Carly know you want a husband?
Does Carly know you want a husband?
Ha-ha!
You're lucky.
You are too.
You and Carly are great together.
You've found something
you want to settle down with.
Don't say settle.
I've spent my life
avoiding settling down.
You said so!
You make life hard for yourself.
Do you love her?
Yes.
Does she feel the same?
She quite likes
the skint artist thing.
Yes, she adores me.
We love each other.
We love each other.
Move in together.
See? It's not that scary.
The idea.
It's not.
Who'd have thought?
Who'd have thought?
Not me.
Nor me.
What are you doing?
Celebrating.
I'm going in.
You're not?
You're not?
I am.
It's the middle of winter.
And I'm settling down
with the woman I love.
And a PGCE is off the cards.
Result!
Whoo!
Hang on.
Socks off.
Come on, yuck!
Yuck!
I haven't been here
since you were in college.
I thought you had tenants in.
Yeah the tenants moved out
about six months ago.
It's been empty for six months.
Don't rub it in.
Don't rub it in.
You have more money than sense.
I've felt really guilty about it.
I had nowhere to put Dad's stuff.
Ellie!
I know, I couldn't get rid of them.
Don't tell Mart.
It was all meant to go to charity
but I couldn't let that happen.
So they live here now.
Still smells like him.
Cigars and Old Spice.
Do you think I'm off my head?
A little.
Follow me.
Your old bedroom.
Yip.
I like coming here.
Why?
Why?
To escape, think.
Sometimes I fall asleep here.
Not often,
once or twice a month maybe.
Tops.
Mart doesn't know?
Mart doesn't know?
No.
This is my space.
No "Mami, Mami, Mami."
Or non-top chats about
painting the blinkin' house
..or clearing
the Tupperware cupboard.
Tupperware?
Tupperware?
Yeah, Mart's obsessed.
Our house is full of plastic boxes.
You have no idea.
You have no idea.
No.
I love Mart and Menna,
of course I do
..but, flippin' heck,
it's full-on sometimes.
Mart wants another baby.
You don't?
Do you think that's selfish?
No.
You remember what I was like
after having Menna.
Shittin' myself
that I'd let her down.
I still feel that way now.
Els, you're a fantastic mother.
Not always.
Menna's so happy,
you're doing great.
Anyway, I need to find somewhere
else to have 40 winks now.
I want you to have the flat,
you and Carly.
What?
What?
Yep.
I feel sick that this place
is empty so take it.
Els!
One condition. Keep Dad's stuff
safe. Don't tell Mart.
Dad can have an upgrade,
he can move in here.
You're
..one in a million.
Where's home?
I can't go back there.
Just drive.
Anywhere.
What's your name?
Doesn't matter.
Do you want to know my name?
No.
Why have you stopped?
I live here.
Come on.
.
Sleeping at last.
How many stories?
How many stories?
Four.
The same one four times.
Stop that.
Beer?
Beer?
Yes, please.
You look nice.
Thanks.
Fancy going upstairs?
What do you have in mind?
You say.
KNOCK ON DOOR
I'd better answer it.
I bought that from us all
and I brought a cake.
Luce said no fuss.
You can't have a birthday
without a cake.
You can't. Good point.
You're early.
You're early.
Straight from work.
That smells lovely.
That smells lovely.
Wine? Beer?
Wine, please. A large one.
I'd better go and change
before they come.
Go up to our room.
Go up to our room.
Menna's sleeping.
I fancy eating in the conservatory.
Why?
Why?
I like it out there.
The roof leaks.
The roof leaks.
Don't start
It does.
If it were up to you,
you'd knock this house down.
I think this place
needs a bit of work.
I like it as it is.
Exactly as it is.
Yep.
CHILD LAUGHS
Bloody hell! She always does this.
I know.
Right, what's going on up here then?
Mami's coming, quick.
No!
Bet?
I heard the voice
of a child laughing, did you?
I heard nothing.
Are you sure?
Perfectly sure.
Who's underneath here? Cheeky chops!
Lie down, it's late.
Goodnight, Anti Bet.
Tedi's tired.
Goodnight, love.
Goodnight, love.
Goodnight, Anti Bet.
Right, cwtsh in with Cadno,
close your eyes and go to sleep.
Cadno's tired. Goodnight, love.
Goodnight.
Goodnight, sleep tight.
Sorry,
she was awake when I looked in.
She was this time, honest.
Don't be silly.
I love your relationship.
Menna's just like your father.
Do you think so?
Just like him.
He'd be very proud.
KNOCK ON DOOR
They're here.
They're here.
They're here already.
Hello.
Happy birthday, Carly.
Happy birthday.
I didn't expect this.
Any excuse for a party.
Any excuse for a party.
Especially in this house.
What's everyone drinking? Champagne?
And White Russian chasers.
You've gone to so much trouble.
Mart set the table!
Too early for presents?
Too early for presents?
Gimme a chance, Bet.
From us all. Open it.
I thought you were joking
when you said you'd bought pyjamas.
Very sexy.
Very sexy.
They're lovely.
I have a similar pair.
Different colour.
I love them.
We can share them -
I'll go top, you go bottom.
PHONE RINGS
Sorry.
Bet.
Hello.
Do you want the measure?
Please, yeah.
What did you get?
Luce! That's stunning.
Luce! That's stunning.
Isn't it?
I'm out of spoons now.
I'm out of spoons now.
Why are you here?
Balloon Man is better company.
Balloon Man is better company.
That's what I said!
Looks a bit flat tonight.
Menna loves it.
Strange child.
She gets that from Mart.
Hoy!
Hoy!
He's not coming.
Who?
Who?
Steve. He's working.
Senior team meeting. Did you know?
Last minute.
On Friday night?
Right.
I'd better go and change.
Bring on the White Russians.
Happy birthday, Carls.
There you go.
Raise your glasses.
Happy birthday to our friend,
happy birthday, Carly!
# So I'm kicking and screaming
# I'm angry
with this judgmental world
# If you're honest and pure
Yes!
# Join me for comfort
No more vodka.
# I've run for miles,
trying not to fall
# Don't ask what,
trying not to choke
# Go, go, have to go
# Have to go
OK, on the way.
Shut up, shut up, shut up.
# It's raining
Shush.
# So hold my hand
# The winter's so long
# It takes too much land
# So hold my hand
# It's raining
# The winter's so long
# It takes too much land
# So hold my hand
# It's raining
# The winter's so long
# It takes too much land
# So hold my hand
# It's raining
# The winter's so long
# It takes too much land #
Dadi! Dadi!
Hush, Mart, no.
No, you're turn.
Mart, sexist.
Hush.
Hello, love. What's wrong?
Bad dream.
Have you had a bad dream?
Don't worry. Mami's here.
Let's go back to bed.
Come on, come on, Cadno.
Come on, well done.
Good girl.
There's no need to be afraid.
You're safe.
We're just downstairs having chats
and laughing.
We'll keep you a piece of cake.
If you're a good girl
and go back to sleep.
Don't tell Dadi -
you can have some for breakfast.
OK? Cwtsh in.
Goodnight, love.
There's nothing in the darkness
that isn't there in daylight.
Remember that.
OK, love.
FEMALE SCREAM
