Where is she?
She'll come back.
She loves you.
You and Menna are her life.
CAR APPROACHES
Don't, Mart.
Please.
I need to pay for the taxi.
Sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Come here, come here.
You're safe,
that's all that matters.
Els, thank goodness.
I can't believe I left.
Ems
I'm so sorry.
Don't say sorry.
We're just glad to have you back.
You're freezing, we need
to get you out of those clothes.
You left her to die.
Not now, Carly.
Not now, Carly.
She has to listen. It's her fault.
We could do no more.
I've heard so many stories
about Ellie Almighty saving lives
..against all odds, so why not Luce?
You just left her.
You just left her.
Sorry.
She'd have never left you. Never.
She loved you so much.
She loved you so much.
She meant the world to me.
Carly, this isn't helping
Carly, this isn't helping
It's helping me.
You gave up on her. She ran away.
You make me sick.
Ems, take her home.
She didn't mean it.
Do you want me to stay?
I can run her a bath.
We're OK, thanks. Go home.
Bet, can we have a lift home?
Of course.
Ellie, don't.
Please
..I want to.
I didn't think
I'd be able to come in here
..but she's not here.
She's gone.
She's gone.
Carly was right.
I should have been able to save her.
I don't know how I'm going
to do this without her.
Together.
One step at a time.
I don't deserve you, Mart.
You're my wife.
You're my wife.
You don't understand.
Ellie Ellie, please.
Ellie, please.
Please
Please.
This is not your fault, OK?
OK?
Why did you run away?
I don't know, Mart.
I just knew she'd gone.
I needed to escape.
Where did you go?
I just ran and ran.
Where to?
I ended up by the sea.
Which sea?
Down by Barry.
That's far.
Yeah.
I was in a car.
Taxi?
I don't remember.
Sorry, Mart.
Why did you go there?
Because that's where
me and Luce always went.
Part of me
just wanted her to be there.
Wanted her to tell me
that none of this was real.
But it is.
I know.
But I'm here for you.
.
Hello, Menna.
What's that, a bun?
A hot dog?
A hot dog?
Yes, hot dog.
It looks delicious.
Yum.
Who's eating that? You or me?
Me.
Can I have some?
Someone's having fun.
We're making animals.
You look nice.
Thank you.
Lunch box.
Are you sure you'll be fine?
Are you sure you'll be fine?
Yes.
Go, or you'll be late.
Stay with Mami.
Ta-ta, Dadi.
Cheerio, Dadi.
Cheerio, Dadi.
Cheerio. I'm a lucky man.
Ta-ta, Dadi.
It's fallen into the water.
Good morning.
Cheerio!
How does a young, healthy woman
drop dead like that?
It doesn't make sense.
No.
It's cruel.
The doctor called it something.
Sudden Death Syndrome.
There's no sign of anything wrong
until it's too late.
You knew instantly she was dead.
I said something really stupid
before she died.
She showed me the flat.
She was so happy.
Full of ideas of what
she wanted to do to the place.
I just said I wanted time
to think about it.
Play it cool.
I didn't want to appear too keen.
If I could do anything to change
that now, but it's too late.
Carly She knew you adored her.
I wanted to give you this.
She didn't get the chance
to finish it.
I know she'd want you to have it.
Thank you.
Some of her best work.
Yeah.
Look after yourself.
And you.
Hello.
It's me.
Els?
Ellie?
Ellie?
PHONE RINGS
You shouldn't be here.
Nor you.
God, I feel lonely.
Me too.
The house is so quiet without her.
I'm scared, Ems.
We can't give up.
We need each other.
I need you.
Go home.
Go and hold your husband and child.
Is it too much to let me know
where you are?
Or take your phone with you?
Text me?
Leave a note, anything?
Sorry.
Sorry.
I was worried about you.
Els?
I wanted to talk to Luce.
I needed to see her body.
Have you been to the hospital?
Yes.
Why didn't you tell me?
I really needed time with her
on my own.
I'm sorry.
No, I am.
This is lovely.
You don't have to lie.
I'm not.
It's disgusting.
No, it's nice. It's fine.
PHONE RINGS
Are you going to answer it?
Not now, it's supper time.
Who's there?
I don't know, Mart.
It might be important.
It's Bet.
OK?
I can't talk to her now.
Finished?
Finished?
Thanks.
KNOCK ON DOOR
I'll answer it.
CRYING
Bet?
I didn't know where else to go.
What's happened?
What's happened?
Steve's sleeping with someone else.
What?
He's having a baby with her.
Bloody hell. Bet, come here.
Come in.
.
He just came out
with it all tonight.
He said he hadn't been happy
with our marriage for some time.
She works with you, apparently.
Gwenfair.
Do you know her?
Yes, um
I didn't know he was sleeping with
her, I would have said something.
I know.
Do you have wine?
Yes.
Yes.
Of course, come on.
Sorry, you're having supper.
It tasted like dog food!
They've had a scan and everything.
She's twelve weeks gone.
I could see in his eyes
that he was really happy.
It's my fault. If we'd had a baby,
none of this would have happened.
Don't say that.
Don't say that.
It's true.
If we hadn't gone through all that
hell of the inhospitable womb
..we might have two
perfect children now.
Right now I'd be bathing them
and reading them bedtime stories.
This isn't your fault, Bet.
The idea of being with me without
children wasn't enough for him.
He wasn't enough, for you.
You're better off without him.
We could have saved thousands.
All the IVF, therapy,
marriage counselling.
For what? I have nothing,
not even a place to live.
He can't make you move out.
He owns the house.
He had the affair, he should leave.
I'd never have imagined he could
do something like this to me.
Stay here, with us.
I don't want to be in the way.
No, of course.
No, stay with us, no probs.
Thank you.
I always thought Steve and I
would be as tight as you two.
I couldn't have been more wrong.
Prick!
You've got to laugh.
I didn't think I'd turn 40
single and without kids.
I don't think there's
such a thing as a plan any more.
Dadi!
I want you.
I'll go.
Do you think there's something
after death?
That Luce is still out there
..in a parallel universe
giving Steve a mouthful?
I can see her now.
God, she hated him.
She was right.
She was right about a lot of things.
I'll get the spare room ready, OK?
Thanks, Els.
MOTHER'S DAY
Dear sweet mother, my mother,
Mam is mine and I am Mam's.
I feel so fortunate to have you.
And Menna.
Me too.
Do you still want us
to have another baby?
Let's bury Luce first.
Sorry. That was a really
stupid thing to say.
When you're ready.
KNOCK ON DOOR
Hi.
I hate lilies.
Oh.
I'll take them back then.
You weren't to know.
Sorry, come in.
Is this suit OK?
It feels a bit stiff.
Nice to see you
looking smart for once.
Is it too early for a drink?
Nice flowers.
Yeah. From Ems.
You hate lilies!
Is Bet ready?
Do you want me to check?
I don't want to be late.
Luce would be livid
if she saw us wearing black.
Right, come on, let's go.
I just need the toilet.
OK?
Let's do this.
TOILET FLUSHES
Come on, Ems.
We thank you for Lucy.
For the love and compassion
she received from you.
For all that was good in her life,
for the memories we treasure today.
Let us recite the Lord's Prayer.
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy name;
Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those
who trespass against us;
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil
The power and the glory.
Forever and ever.
Amen.
OK?
No, no, I don't feel great, Mart.
Do you want to go home?
I don't want to be here
with all these people looking at me.
We have to go to the wake.
Everyone will expect us to be there.
I don't think I can.
Els
..I know you're hurting
but you have to go.
I just want to be left alone.
I just want to be left alone.
OK.
Please, Mart, I feel like screaming.
Please, Mart, I feel like screaming.
Don't scream.
OK?
I'll be back, I promise.
Sorry.
Do you want me to go after her?
No.
She'll come back when she's ready.
.
What were you doing there today?
Where?
In the cemetery.
You were there. I saw you.
I saw you.
You've been following me.
You came here.
I don't do things like this.
This isn't who I am.
Who are you then?
You don't want to know.
Take your clothes off.
I always thought
there was a pattern to life.
If you follow the pattern,
everything will be fine.
There's no pattern anymore.
It's as if the ink's run dry.
I don't know what I'm meant to do.
Who I'm meant to be.
Who do you want to be?
I don't know.
Open the window.
What are you doing?
Hiding.
Do you feel better?
Yes.
Thanks.
