Episode 5
Mart?
Bet?
'I found this at the flat'
I know you're in there.
- Who are you talking to?
- Mart!
Who did you think was here?
I don't know.
- Your car wasn't on the drive.
- I parked on the street.
The bins were in the way.
You feeling OK?
Yes.
You scared me, that's all.
I thought you were going to see
Steve this morning?
He pushed the meeting on.
I was just about to leave.
Oh, right. OK.
- Sorry.
- I'd better be off.
Hey.
Good luck.
You found it.
Yes.
It was in my bag.
'Meet me at the flat otherwise your
husband will find out everything'
Hello.
'I'm in your head, Ellie Bateman'
No.
No! No! No!
I want this to stop now!
Do you hear me?
Where are you?
No.
No.
Open the door.
Open the door!
Why are you doing this?
Please.
Let me out.
Let me out!
You can't leave me here.
Please.
Please.
Please.
Tell the truth, Ellie!
Hello.
Let me out. Please!
Ellie?
Ems, is that you? I'm in here!
Open the door!
You OK?
How did you know I was here?
I've been looking for you.
I tried the house.
Did you see anyone?
When?
On your way up.
No.
He locked me in.
Who?
Els, the door was open.
It's gone.
There was a message on that mirror.
Here. In red.
I threw these bed sheets away
and now they're back on the bed!
Els, please,
you're not making much sense.
If I tell you, will you help me?
Please stop looking at me
as though I've lost the plot!
If you start making sense, I will.
I've been sleeping
with someone else.
.
Since when?
The night that Luce died.
I told him it was over
and now he won't leave me alone.
He follows me everywhere.
He broke in here.
He's been at the house.
I'm scared, Ems.
Does Mart know?
It would break his heart.
Why didn't you say anything sooner?
I thought I could sort it myself
but I can't.
Who is he?
I don't know.
Do you know where he lives?
- Is this the right place?
- Yes.
It's quite empty.
Are you sure?
Are you trying to say
I'm making it up?
No. I'm just saying
that it looks empty.
If the place is empty
then why is the door unlocked?
If the door is unlocked, then why?
And why are you going in?
What if he's in there?!
You might believe me!
I found some brandy.
I've been seeing things
that aren't there.
Like what?
I see myself,
the same age as I was when Dad died.
She appeared
the night that Luce died.
I see her all the time now.
In the house.
At work.
She was there in the interview,
throwing flour over people.
Flour?
I know.
I was trying my hardest to listen to
what the interviewers were saying.
But I couldn't get her
out of my head.
Maybe you should go and see someone.
I know she's not really there.
That's a good start.
It's like she's here
to look after me.
Show me the way.
Why would she do that?
Because she knows I'm lost.
Are you lost?
Isn't everyone?
A little.
Do you think I'm lost?
I think you are.
I think you're right.
I'll look after you, don't worry.
You or Young Ellie?
Both of us.
I don't have a Young Ems.
He's vanished.
I hope he comes back.
Who is he?
What is this?
I really want to understand.
I just wanted to forget who I was.
Lose myself.
It was as though
time had swallowed me.
I felt totally still.
Don't.
But it's true, Ems.
It hurts.
Oh, Ems.
I want to be still.
Not like this, Ems. We're friends.
We're friends.
- Don't.
- Ems!
Ems.
Don't go.
I need you here.
For what?
To wait for some bloke you say
you've slept with to turn up?
- You don't believe me?
- I don't know.
You're standing in front of me
but I can't see you.
You're not here, Ellie.
.
- Who's that?
- Mami.
Is that you and Dad?
No.
Me and you.
Is it for me?
Yes.
Thanks, darling.
Right, cwtsh in then.
Goodnight, darling.
Hello, who's there?
Bet, open the door.
What are you doing out there?
Checking
there's no-one in the garden.
You were supposed to be back hours
ago. Mart's out looking for you.
Have you been drinking?
Tough day, you know.
Shopping, cleaning.
It's a lot harder than surgery,
actually.
You're going through
a really tough time, El.
But I'm here for you, OK?
I've ruined everything, Bet.
Don't be silly. You're just pissed.
You don't know me.
I know exactly who you are.
You will know.
Everyone will.
The cat's nearly out of the bag.
What was the cat doing in a bag?
I'm taking you to bed
before Mart comes home.
Come on, upstairs!
You going to tell Mart about this?
No.
It's our little secret.
Come on.
You would have made
a really good mother.
Hi.
Hi.
She's in bed.
Did she say where she'd been?
She wasn't making a lot of sense.
She'd been drinking.
Did Menna see her?
No. No, she was asleep.
Hello?
'Hello, this is Mart's phone, please
leave a message after the beep.'
I know you're angry with me
but I'd love to have Menna today.
Maybe we could
do something together?
The three of us.
Call me when you get this.
'Taken Menna to the park. Hope
your hangover isn't too bad! Bet xx'
'She looks like you'
Come on, pick up, Bet.
Please.
Come on, come on, Mart.
Come on, come on!
'Hello, this is Mart's phone'
Shit!
Menna!
Menna!
Menna?!
Menna!
Where is she? Where's Menna?
She's here somewhere.
She was right here playing.
Why did you take her
without asking me?
- I was trying to help.
- Menna!
- She's just playing somewhere.
- Someone sent me a message.
A picture of Menna. Here.
Someone's been following you both.
Bet, it's not safe. Help me, please.
OK.
Menna?
Menna?
Mens?
Menna!
Menna!
Mami!
Mami!
Are you OK? Are you hurt?
Did you see anyone, love?
You don't need to be scared.
Just tell Mami.
You're fine, aren't you?
- You saw a squirrel, did you?
- Yes.
You weren't even watching her, Bet!
Don't worry. Mami's here now.
I think you're overreacting, El.
Seriously. She's fine.
Don't take her out of the house
again without me knowing, OK?
- Can we talk sensibly about this?
- Anything could have happened to her!
I was looking after her.
I'm supposed to be the one
looking after her!
Have you been drinking again?
Come on, Menna. Come with Mami.
Bet!
Ellie. Please, you're scaring her.
I'm her mother, Bet!
Come on.
Get in the car.
Come on, darling. In you get.
OK, sit back, darling.
There you are.
It's OK. Mami's here now, OK?
Ellie, open the door.
Ellie, what are you doing?
Shh, you're OK.
You're OK, darling.
Ellie!
You don't need to worry.
Shh.
Ellie!
Open the door!
Now!
Open the door!
Ellie!
Open the door!
Now!
I couldn't save him.
You can save me.
Tell the truth, Ellie.
Ellie, please.
Ellie, please!
Open the door! Ellie!
.
Ellie!
Ellie, please open the door.
Open the door.
Are you OK? Are you OK, sweetie?
You don't need to worry.
You're OK now.
Have a cwtsh with Auntie Bet, yeah?
We'll get you out now.
There you are.
What's wrong with you?
This is all my fault, Mart.
We'll talk about this at home.
I'm taking her back.
No, please, Mart, please.
We need to talk. Now.
I've been sleeping
with someone else.
I've told him it's over.
But he won't listen.
And now he wants to punish me.
You're not serious.
Don't, Mart, please.
Mart, stop, please.
Please.
I'm so sorry.
- Bet?
- Yeah?
Um
Can you do me a favour, please?
Of course.
Can you ask Ems
to come to the house?
Ellie has something
she wants to tell us all.
Don't you, Els?
It wasn't an affair.
If you sleep with someone
behind my back, Ellie
it's an affair.
You slept with him
the night your best friend died.
When we were all worried sick
about you.
Worried that you were lying dead
somewhere. And you were in bed.
With him.
I was in shock, Mart.
We were all in shock, Ellie.
How could you?
You don't think
I ask myself that question
every time I look in the mirror?
Why didn't you tell him sooner?
I was trying to protect you.
I was, Mart.
You and Menna.
Who is he?
I don't know.
Why are you protecting him?
I'm not.
She's telling the truth, Mart.
How do you know?
We went
to try and find him yesterday.
To tell him to keep away.
You knew about this
and didn't say anything!
Have you met him?
No.
He wasn't there.
You know where he lives then.
Ellie?
You've slept with him
more than once then?
Yes.
How many times? Twice? More?
While you were still sleeping
with me?
Is there anyone else, Ellie?!
While we're all here!
- Leave it!
- Mart, stop.
Please.
I did this to you.
And I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Mami.
Hey!
I thought you were sleeping.
Are you going to die?
Why do you say that, darling?
Bet said you're ill.
Mami's got to go away for a bit, OK?
To get better, that's all.
I won't be gone long.
And you have a very important job,
missus.
Do you know what that is?
Looking after Swci
until I come back.
Yeah?
OK?
Who means the world to me?
Me!
Come here.
You can't go back to the flat.
I can't hurt anyone
if I'm on my own.
You can come back with me.
No.
Please, Ellie.
You can stay in Luce's room.
OK.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I've given her everything I could.
I moved in here.
Her father's house.
With all her memories,
all her grief.
I tried to build a life for us.
I thought that I belonged here.
Maybe I don't.
You don't deserve this.
Sorry.
I don't know what came over me.
Bet?
'I found this at the flat'
I know you're in there.
- Who are you talking to?
- Mart!
Who did you think was here?
I don't know.
- Your car wasn't on the drive.
- I parked on the street.
The bins were in the way.

Yes.
You scared me, that's all.

Oh, right. OK.

'Meet me at the flat otherwise your
husband will find out everything'
Hello.
'I'm in your head, Ellie Bateman'
No.
No! No! No!
I want this to stop now!
Do you hear me?
Where are you?
No.
No.
Open the door.
Open the door!
Why are you doing this?
Please.
Let me out.
Let me out!
You can't leave me here.
Please.
Please.
Please.
Tell the truth, Ellie!
Hello.
Let me out. Please!
Ellie?
Ems, is that you? I'm in here!
Open the door!
You OK?
How did you know I was here?

If you start making sense, I will.
I've been sleeping

The night that Luce died.
I told him it was over

He broke in here.
He's been at the house.

Do you know where he lives?
- Is this the right place?
- Yes.
It's quite empty.
Are you sure?
Are you trying to say
I'm making it up?
No. I'm just saying
that it looks empty.
If the place is empty
then why is the door unlocked?
If the door is unlocked, then why?
And why are you going in?
What if he's in there?!
You might believe me!
I found some brandy.

Flour?
I know.
I was trying my hardest to listen to
what the interviewers were saying.
But I couldn't get her
out of my head.
Maybe you should go and see someone.
I know she's not really there.
That's a good start.
It's like she's here
to look after me.
Show me the way.
Why would she do that?
Because she knows I'm lost.
Are you lost?
Isn't everyone?
A little.
Do you think I'm lost?
I think you are.
I think you're right.
I'll look after you, don't worry.
You or Young Ellie?
Both of us.
I don't have a Young Ems.
He's vanished.
I hope he comes back.
Who is he?
What is this?
I really want to understand.
I just wanted to forget who I was.
Lose myself.
It was as though
time had swallowed me.
I felt totally still.
Don't.
But it's true, Ems.
It hurts.
Oh, Ems.
I want to be still.
Not like this, Ems. We're friends.
We're friends.
- Don't.
- Ems!
Ems.
Don't go.
I need you here.

No.
Me and you.
Is it for me?
Yes.
Thanks, darling.
Right, cwtsh in then.

You don't need to be scared.
Just tell Mami.
You're fine, aren't you?

- Yes.
You weren't even watching her, Bet!
Don't worry. Mami's here now.

OK, sit back, darling.
There you are.
It's OK. Mami's here now, OK?
Ellie, open the door.
Ellie, what are you doing?
Shh, you're OK.
You're OK, darling.
Ellie!
You don't need to worry.
Shh.
Ellie!
Open the door!
Now!
Open the door!

I couldn't save him.
You can save me.
Tell the truth, Ellie.
Ellie, please.
Ellie, please!
Open the door! Ellie!

Ellie!
Ellie, please open the door.
Open the door.
Are you OK? Are you OK, sweetie?
You don't need to worry.
You're OK now.
Have a cwtsh with Auntie Bet, yeah?
We'll get you out now.
There you are.
What's wrong with you?
This is all my fault, Mart.
We'll talk about this at home.
I'm taking her back.
No, please, Mart, please.
We need to talk. Now.
I've been sleeping

But he won't listen.
And now he wants to punish me.
You're not serious.
Don't, Mart, please.
Mart, stop, please.
Please.
I'm so sorry.
- Bet?
- Yeah?
Um
Can you do me a favour, please?
Of course.
Can you ask Ems
to come to the house?
Ellie has something
she wants to tell us all.
Don't you, Els?
It wasn't an affair.
If you sleep with someone
behind my back, Ellie
it's an affair.

You knew about this

No.
He wasn't there.
You know where he lives then.
Ellie?
You've slept with him
more than once then?
Yes.
How many times? Twice? More?
While you were still sleeping
with me?
Is there anyone else, Ellie?!
While we're all here!
- Leave it!
- Mart, stop.
Please.
I did this to you.
And I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Mami.
Hey!
I thought you were sleeping.
Are you going to die?
Why do you say that, darling?
Bet said you're ill.
Mami's got to go away for a bit, OK?
To get better, that's all.
I won't be gone long.
And you have a very important job,

You don't deserve this.
Sorry.
I don't know what came over me.
