It's OK. I'll go.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, Mens!
Menna!
What's wrong? Mami's here.
I want Dadi.
Dadi!
You're OK. Mami's here.
What's wrong, love?
There's something in the dark.
There isn't. Go to sleep now.
Come on.
There's nothing in the dark.
Go to sleep.
Time to go to sleep.
Where's the flour?
Flour!
Ow!
You OK?
Yes.
You're up early.
I couldn't go back to sleep.
Shit! Shit!
What's that?
I was trying to make 'ffroes'.
I was trying to make 'ffroes'.
Ffroes?
Yeah. Ffroes. Pancakes.
Whatever you want to call them.
But everything's moved.
I couldn't find the flour anywhere.
It's always in this cupboard
but someone has moved it! Why?!
I haven't moved anything.
I haven't moved anything.
You have!
Why would I?
Why would I?
I don't know why.
But the flour's moved, everything's
moved and now I've ruined breakfast.
Everything OK?
Fine. Just Mart moving everything.
Fine. Just Mart moving everything.
I haven't. Have you, Bet?
No.
No.
Someone has.
I can't cook at the best of times.
You can!
Not pancakes maybe.
What's for breakfast?
Auntie Bet's making pancakes!
Yeah, um
Over to you. I'm going up to change.
OK. We'll keep some for you.
Thank you!
Right. OK. You take that bowl
over to the table.
I'll be there to help you now.
Give it a stir.
You've dressed for work?
I don't want Ellie to worry.
I don't want Ellie to worry.
You're crazy!
Auntie Bet!
Auntie Bet!
I'm coming, love.
Good job. There you are.
Mart, have you seen my necklace?
The one Luce made for me.
No.
It's bound to be here somewhere.
It's bound to be here somewhere.
I'll keep an eye out.
Good luck today.
You look great.
Thank you.
I'm sorry about earlier.
I'm just a bit stressed.
You'll be fine.
You're an angel.
I'll call you once I'm out.
Promise.
Hi!
CAR HORN
What are you doing?
That car.
I thought I knew the people.
Do you know them?
No.
Similar car.
You sure you're OK?
Yes, fine.
Menna was up in the night.
I'm just
You look knackered.
Thanks.
I forgot to ask -
how did it go on Thursday?
What?
Swansea?
Yeah, good. Good. Busy.
I'm late. I'll see you later, yeah?
Lunchtime?
Lunchtime?
Yeah.
Lovely.
It's always been a dream of mine
to work in Paediatrics.
Confronting the whole range
of cardiovascular abnormalities.
You are aware of course that
the post requires some time away.
How do you square this
with your family responsibilities?
Would you ask a man that?
Although I suppose
you might ask a man that.
It's always the mother that
we think about in these situations.
I'm excited about the whole range
of cardiovascular abnormalities
..from the neonatal, to
newborn cyanosis, heart murmurs
..and on the other end of the scale,
to
..paediatric
CLOCK TICKING
Paediatric cardiac
Sorry. Sorry, could I have
a glass of water, please?
OK?
TICKING BECOMES LOUDER
Thank you.
Sorry.
Paediatric cardiac transplantation.
Even in the relatively short time
I've worked in the field
..I've seen huge advances
in cardiovascular medicine
Sorry, am I shouting?
I can hear my voice
echoing in my head.
It's really, really loud now. Sorry.
Cardiovascular
cardiovascular surgery.
It's something
that I'm really interested in.
You're not supposed to be here.
What are you doing?
You moved the flour!
Don't do that!
Please! Don't do that!
Stop!
Stop!
Stop!
Stop!
Ellie!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
.
'Hi, you're through to me.
You know what to do.'
Hi, Ems, it's me.
I need you to answer the phone.
There's something wrong.
Please, just
Phone me when you get this message.
'Hi, you're through to me.
You know what to do.'
Shit.
Shit, shit, shit.
Sorry. I messed up.
I haven't been sleeping well.
I'm just tired.
I didn't have a lot of time
to prepare.
I panicked, but I feel good now,
loads better.
I think you should go home.
I want to be here.
I need to be here.
Work is the only thing
that makes sense at the moment.
You're an excellent surgeon, Ellie,
and I hate seeing you like this.
But it's too much of a risk
for you and your patients.
A good night's sleep
and I'll be fine. I promise.
Please, Hywel.
I'm sending you home.
You need a break.
Once you're feeling better
in yourself
..we can chat about
a phased return, OK?
Trust me, Ellie.
It's for the best.
Sorry for letting you down.
You don't need to apologise.
Just get better.
DOOR OPENS
DOOR CLOSES
DOOR CLOSES
.
I can't do this any more.
I'm falling apart.
I see things that aren't there.
I keep thinking you're following me.
I see your car everywhere.
I'm lost.
My little girl
knows that things aren't right.
I can't touch her
and she knows that I can't.
I need to be a mother.
Being with you is killing me.
It's not.
It's not.
Yes, it is! This ends now!
I want you to leave.
You need me.
And I need you.
Don't.
Don't, I said!
Go.
Please.
Why?
You scared how far you'll go?
Are you?
Ellie Bateman.
Who are you?
Tell me.
Hit me again.
C'mon, Ellie.
Hit me.
Go.
Be careful, Ellie.
'Hi, this is Mart's phone.
Leave a message after the beep.'
Hi, love. It's me.
Sorry, I left my phone in the car.
Um
I want to apologise, Mart
..for my behaviour recently.
Everything will be fine. I promise.
I love you and Menna so much.
I'll be home soon.
Let me know if you want me
to pick anything up on the way back.
Hello?
Mart?
Mart?
What are you doing in the dark?
What are you doing in the dark?
I didn't feel like cooking.
Sorry I'm late.
Everything OK?
I tried calling you.
I know.
Did you get my message?
No secrets.
That's what we said, isn't it?
What?
You're obviously avoiding
talking about it.
About what, Mart?
The interview.
The fact that they want you
to take time off work.
Ems told me.
I wanted to wait until I saw you.
I just couldn't concentrate.
I lost my head.
Aitken wants me
to take some time off work
..until things settle.
You were right.
Maybe I did go back too soon.
Tried to do too much.
A break will be good for me,
I think.
A chance to spend more time
with Menna.
You're quiet.
What's wrong?
I've got a lot on my mind.
It's important
to be honest with each other.
Of course, Mart.
I didn't
I didn't go to work today.
Why?
I lost my temper.
With Steve.
I hit him.
I hit him.
When?
Last week.
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't want to let you down.
Have you spoken with anyone else?
Bet.
Oh.
And you didn't think
to talk things through with me?
There are so many things
going on with you
..I didn't want to upset you more.
I've made a mess of things, I know.
This whole situation
makes me feel like a failure.
You're not.
You're not.
Hiya.
You don't remember about supper?
Everything OK?
Everything OK?
Yeah, great.
Hey. Els, I'm sorry about today.
You've had a tough day.
You OK?
You OK?
Yes, I'm fine.
What did you get?
What did you get?
Chinese.
Great. I'm starving.
I told her.
Thank God!
You don't have to whisper you know!
I've been worried about
putting my foot in it all week.
You're crap at keeping secrets!
You all knew?
Steve told me
..that he had a black eye.
He did deserve it.
Who wants a drink?
Yes, please.
.
You sounded terrible this morning.
I was worried sick about you.
I completely messed things up, Ems.
I didn't know who else to call.
Sorry.
I'm sorry I wasn't there for you.
Aitken's been worried about you.
He said you didn't turn up
to the clinic in Swansea.
Why did you make out that you had?
I don't know.
What's going on, Els?
Where were you?
You don't need to know.
No.
Should I be worried?
I'm dealing with it.
I promise.
I'll be fine.
You know where I am if you need me.
Thanks.
BET DROPS SAUCEPAN
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Where does this live?
El, where does this go?
Why?
I'm putting things back
so you can find them.
You moved things around?
You moved things around?
I was trying to get things in order.
Everything in its place.
Everything in its place.
You're so weird, Bet!
Why didn't you tell me this morning?
Why didn't you tell me this morning?
You were in such a strop about it.
"I can't find the flour.
Everything's moved!
"I can't find anything
because it's so tidy!"
I couldn't find anything
because everything had moved.
You've been reorganising Menna's
clothes drawers too, haven't you?
Just leave things alone.
Just leave things alone.
I was just trying to help.
Don't. Please, Bet,
I like things the way they are.
Sorry.
Why are you up, sweetheart?
What have you got there, love?
What have you got there, love?
His name's Swci.
A little present from Mami.
Where did it come from?
I found it in a box of old stuff.
Is it yours?
Is it yours?
Yeah, from when I was a little girl.
Swci will look after you
when you're sleeping.
I love you more
than anything in the world.
Sorry
..I fell asleep.
Ems has just left.
Bet's downstairs.
I'd better go and say goodnight.
Have you been over
in the flat today?
Yes.
After work.
I wanted a bit of space
just to think things through.
I feel so much better already, Mart.
I'm going to be OK.
We're going to be OK.
Good.
Yeah.
Good.
I'll be up in a bit.
OK.
Sorry for moving things around.
Sorry for moving things around.
I thought you were asleep.
I heard a noise outside.
Me too. The door was open.
I didn't tell you this morning
because I was embarrassed.
This isn't my house.
I just feel so at home here.
Sorry.
No, I overreacted.
I understand.
There's a lot going on.
PHONE
Hello?
Everything OK?
Yes. Wrong number.
You go up.
Right, goodnight.
Right, goodnight.
Goodnight.
'Do you think about me?'
It's fine Bet, honestly.
OK.
'Leave me alone!'
'It's not your choice any more.'
