00:00🎵I like people who I can appeal to🎵
00:13Belle?
00:15Chloe?
00:17Belle?
00:20Hey.
00:21What are you doing out here?
00:23Couldn't you hear me shouting?
00:25Sorry. Music.
00:27Shouldn't you be in bed?
00:29Don't think so.
00:31Belle, you've had a miscarriage.
00:33Sitting on some cold stone steps can't help.
00:37Yeah, you're right.
00:43You look a little rough.
00:46Do you think you took good enough care of yourself?
00:50Not that I'm blaming you.
00:53No, it's okay.
00:55I blame myself, but these things happen.
00:59The next time you get pregnant, I'm taking over all duties, including walking Piper.
01:07Was she acting up when you were on that long walk with Amelia?
01:10Before you...
01:12started bleeding?
01:13No.
01:14Not especially.
01:16Look, Tom, sometimes it's just...
01:18nature's weird.
01:20And I'm sorry.
01:21Don't be.
01:23I'm sorry, I've got to go to work.
01:25But...
01:27Look, why don't you...
01:29go inside and get some rest, then I'll try and get back in time for lunch.
01:31It's fine, honestly.
01:33Well, don't you like to see me?
01:35Yeah, of course I do. I love it.
01:52Hey.
01:53You got a minute?
01:54Actually, I got a job up at Moira's, so...
01:56Me and all later.
01:57She got me putting up lights in the barn.
02:01So, puppies and toddlers...
02:03bad idea?
02:05Er...
02:06sorry?
02:08Our Esther is obsessed with your dog, so...
02:11we're thinking about getting one.
02:13And Charity's all right with that.
02:14I thought she'd prefer a goldfish.
02:16Yeah, but you can't really play with a goldfish, can you?
02:19And, anyway,
02:20Amelia was saying how much Esther loved coming out of your pipe over there.
02:24Hmm.
02:25Well, there's loads of info online,
02:27but all pets cost, so...
02:29Anyway, speaking of which, time to go.
02:32Of course, yeah.
02:34See you later.
02:50Shh.
02:54Shh.
02:57Shh.
03:05Shh.
03:10Shh.
03:19Shh.
03:23Oh, sorry, mate.
03:26Did I shave a few years off there?
03:30Miles away.
03:32Come to check the herd for asbestos?
03:34Oh, yeah, Moira said.
03:35I've actually just put them in the field.
03:37Just behind this baby here.
03:40Oh!
03:41Barn's had a facelift?
03:43Yeah. Beautiful, ain't she?
03:45That little birdie tells me that you're expecting a bearing of your own soon.
03:48See what I did there?
03:50Very clever, Hadley. Maybe not that clever.
03:53Bear. Barn.
03:55Thought I was pretty genius, to be honest.
03:58There is no bear.
04:00They'll...
04:02Lost the baby.
04:05Oh, God.
04:08I mean, I'm really sorry.
04:10It's OK. I hadn't intended on telling you, or anyone yet.
04:13But, um...
04:15Listen, why don't you just go home?
04:18It's a two-man job, and Paddy's already running late. I need to get started.
04:23Yeah, but you ought to be with Belle, man.
04:25And do what?
04:27Hold her hand and tell her that it's nature's way?
04:30Because we've already exhausted that cliché this morning.
04:33Yeah.
04:34Well, it's awful, isn't it?
04:36I...
04:37I didn't know what to do with myself when the same thing happened to us.
04:40Me and Charity.
04:42I'm sorry. I had no idea.
04:46Although it's not really about us blokes, eh?
04:49Belle's the one in pain, the one that...
04:51Yeah, but it is your loss, too.
04:55And, you know, long before they come wailing into the world, you've planned it all out.
05:00Secretly.
05:02Holidays.
05:03Hair colour.
05:05Tantrums in the supermarket.
05:09All of a sudden, there was three of us.
05:12We were gonna be a family.
05:14Happy. Better.
05:21I wanted that baby so badly.
05:25I know, mate. It's tough.
05:30Oh, right. Hey.
05:32Come here. You'll be all right, OK?
05:35PHONE VIBRATES
05:39Hello? Belle?
05:41It's Rachel from the care team.
05:50Rachel, hi. Come in.
05:52Hi.
05:53Hope you don't mind me calling.
05:55You never came to the follow-up, so I thought I'd check in.
05:58Yeah, sorry. Been busy.
06:00Life, isn't it?
06:02Is now a good time to catch up?
06:04I don't know, actually, cos Tom might come home for his lunch.
06:08It needn't take long.
06:10When you discharged yourself from the crisis unit, it was all a bit rushed,
06:14but I thought in your sessions with Ava, you were getting somewhere.
06:18Talking.
06:19Well, my dog got sick, so I had to come home.
06:22You look like you're suffering. Why don't we sit down?
06:25OK.
06:33DOOR OPENS
06:36You all right?
06:38Yeah. Yeah, I'm just... I'm tired.
06:41Is it your higher dose? It can make you feel shattered.
06:44No, it's fine.
06:46I don't want to do this now, actually.
06:48I really don't want you away if Tom comes back.
06:50OK, that's up to you, obviously, but...
06:54do you mind if I ask why?
06:56Things have changed.
06:58As in, things between you?
07:02I don't want to talk about it. I can't.
07:05But you can. Whatever. That's what I'm here for.
07:09I'm a terrible person.
07:11Belle, you really aren't.
07:14I aborted our baby.
07:20HE CLEARS THROAT
07:21Hey, I'm sorry about...
07:23Well, you know.
07:25Oh, no.
07:27Man shows emotion. Shocking.
07:30Ah, I've left everything in the car.
07:33Well, my sister's just texted me, anyway.
07:35I'm needed back at HQ.
07:37You know, a weird part of me feels like this is some kind of punishment.
07:40Did you feel that way?
07:42Well, Charity did.
07:44But she hadn't wanted the baby.
07:46Not first.
07:47And it kind of felt like our last chance.
07:50Wait, you're saying this is ours?
07:52No, no, no, no. Belle's...
07:54Yeah, she'll be popping them out like peas in no time.
07:57Listen, like I say, I've been there.
08:00And despite what the wife says, I'm actually quite a good listener.
08:05Thank you.
08:15Why didn't you call us?
08:17I couldn't.
08:19Tom's so upset.
08:21And I understand.
08:23I've killed his baby.
08:25I've killed his baby.
08:27That's hardly fair on you.
08:28That's how he'll see it, if he finds out.
08:31You never asked Tom to visit you at the crisis centre, did you?
08:35Does he know how much you struggled with the idea of being pregnant?
08:39Yeah, sort of, but he really wanted it.
08:43Despite what you wanted.
08:45But surely he'll understand your decision.
08:47Best way to protect your mental health, protect you.
08:51He wants to protect me. He says that a lot.
08:55That's why it's so hard, keeping this from him.
08:58I feel like I've not got a minute away.
09:01Are you never out of his sight?
09:03No. Not really, but it's OK.
09:06He got the doggy cam to keep an eye on Piper.
09:11But I'm always at home, so he knew what I was up to.
09:17So he was watching you?
09:20No.
09:22No, he's watching Piper, but he could see me too, yeah.
09:26And you were fine with him watching?
09:30Caused a row.
09:32But we agreed to switch it off.
09:34He just worries too much. He always wants me safe.
09:37That's why he got the outdoor camera.
09:41Actually, we should be keeping our voices down.
09:45What?
09:46What if he's heard us? What if he knows?
09:48Belle, it's OK.
09:49No, it's not OK.
09:50It's not, because he'll flip out, he'll lose it,
09:53and he's got every right to...
09:55Belle, tell me what Tom might do.
10:12OK, I think it's time you go now.
10:14I think you were about to tell me something.
10:16Belle, your mental health is my priority.
10:19My mental health is what's causing this.
10:22If I wasn't so pathetic, me and Tom would be happy.
10:26So why is Tom not happy?
10:28Because of me, obviously.
10:31I'm needy, I'm forgetful, I'm stupid.
10:34Says who?
10:35I'm lucky to have him.
10:37Not if he makes you feel bad for things.
10:39Only the things that are my fault.
10:41But not everything can be your fault.
10:43But I need him.
10:45He understands me.
10:47He's just insecure.
10:49Just like me, and that's why he has to see where I am.
10:54OK, how about if we talk to him together?
10:58No, absolutely not.
11:01OK, then I'd like us to talk more in a cafe or a park.
11:04I can't.
11:05I can't, cos he'll see me, he'll see me on his phone.
11:08He's tracking you?
11:09Yeah, but it's OK, cos he's my husband.
11:12And he's going to be home soon, so please, can you just go?
11:16Belle, are you afraid of him?
11:19I'm begging you.
11:21There's no shame in this.
11:22If Tom's controlling or punishing you in any way, I can help.
11:30Ah, Noah, just arrived.
11:33The lights are all up.
11:34You wouldn't mind telling Moira, would you?
11:36I'll make her run.
11:37Sure.
11:38Look, what were you saying earlier?
11:41Yeah, I mentioned the goldfish.
11:43I mean, they had a right laugh.
11:45No, no, no, I mean about Esther's dog walk.
11:48Did Emilia say anything about Belle, how she seemed?
11:52Not really.
11:53Why?
11:56OK, well, between me and you,
11:59she lost the baby.
12:02Oh, that's awful.
12:04Keep it quiet until she's ready.
12:07I'm just trying to figure out if anything might have contributed.
12:11But you know what she's like,
12:12always running after the piper in the woods, throwing sticks.
12:15I doubt it.
12:16I think she was in town, wasn't she?
12:19Er...
12:20What?
12:22Emilia rang me when she was walking with Esther.
12:24Said that she was dog-sitting.
12:26Well, did she say where she was going?
12:29Some apartment, I think.
12:33OK, well, no worries, forget it.
12:37But like I said, shh, don't.
12:40Until she's ready.
12:41Yeah, of course. Not a word.
12:45And sorry about the baby thing.
12:49I'll see you later.
12:51I'll see you.
12:58Maybe you think about giving these a call.
13:01Who are they?
13:03It's a charity.
13:07Here.
13:12They deal with domestic abuse.
13:15Take it back.
13:16Please, OK, I might be totally off the mark here,
13:19but at least just look at their website.
13:21It's true. Tom likes things his way, but that's just the way he is.
13:26I'm all over the place. I annoy him.
13:28Belle, you need support, not suffocation.
13:31You don't understand.
13:33Try me.
13:34It's me.
13:36I push him.
13:37And I know how it looks.
13:39People will blame Tom, but...
13:41it's just not the way it is.
13:44Cos we've only been married a bit and...
13:47and I'm used to it. I've failed.
13:50Belle, you're not failing, you're surviving.
13:53But only by a thread from what I can see.
13:55I need to be a better person.
13:57No, you're stressed and you need to take a step back.
14:00Meaning?
14:02Your relationship's clearly under a lot of strain
14:05and sometimes we need headspace,
14:09time apart to get some clarity.
14:12Leave.
14:15I can't leave him.
14:17You're vulnerable and this situation, whatever it is,
14:21is affecting your mental health.
14:24If Tom loves you, he'll understand that you need a break,
14:27a distance.
14:29Is there anyone you could stay with?
14:31Is there anyone you could stay with?
14:36Yeah. Yeah, I think so.
14:58Come on!
15:01Come on!
15:07No.
15:11No!
15:21Thanks for shutting up for my ticket, Debs.
15:24Can't pay you back when I see you.
15:26Yeah, fine, just...
15:28it's my stupid banking app.
15:30Always locks me out.
15:32And can you, er, not tell Dad that I'm coming?
15:36I want to surprise him.
15:38OK.
15:41Yeah, I'll... I'll call you when my train's in.
15:46The Piper.
15:49I'm so sorry.
15:52I have to do this.
16:00No!
16:30No!
16:56Horton, train station, please.
17:00Thank you.
17:02Come on.
17:28As if I could ever leave you.
17:30Come in. Do you want to come on a little trip?
17:35Oh, thank God I've caught you.
17:37Er, hi, yeah, my taxi's waiting.
17:39There's been an accident at the farm.
17:41What? Tom. Paddy found him unconscious in the barn.
17:44I don't know what's happened, but they've rushed him to A&E.
17:46I can take you.
17:47What about Piper?
17:49Piper? Er, I just saw Noah, so I'm sure he'd have her for you.
17:53My suitcase is in the car.
17:54Yeah, I'll get that, don't worry, and I'll explain.
17:56And then I'll bring my car down, OK? Were you going somewhere?
17:59Yeah, come on.
18:00OK.
18:14Oh, hi, excuse me.
18:16Thomas King, the guy on the desk, said he'd be somewhere on here.
18:19He's in resus.
18:21Are you family?
18:22I'm his wife.
18:23He was brought in earlier with a friend, Paddy.
18:26What's happened?
18:27The doctor should be able to tell you more,
18:29but I believe your husband's touching faulty wiring.
18:32Thank you.
18:35Hi.
18:36Tom's my husband?
18:38Right, yes.
18:39I'm afraid Mr King has suffered a high-voltage electric shock,
18:42which momentarily stopped his heart.
18:44He's very lucky his colleague found him.
18:46Paddy was sedated?
18:47He's in the day room. I think he's quite shaky.
18:49I'll go and see him. We need to be with Tom.
18:51By all means, but he's in a lot of pain.
18:54He's been mildly sedated to help him cope.
18:56We think the shock impact caused him to land badly.
18:59He's fractured his ankle and has significant bruising on his back.
19:02PHONE RINGS
19:03Sorry, I should take this.
19:05Thank you.
19:07What do I do?
19:09Go and sit with him.
19:11Talk to him, tell him you love him.
19:13He's tough, but he needs you, Belle.
19:26SIGHS
19:40Tom.
19:48Belle.
19:56Belle.
20:02Belle.
20:08What happened?
20:10There was an accident.
20:13At the farm.
20:16For a moment, you were gone.
20:20I...
20:22I died.
20:23Paddy saved you.
20:27The miscarriage.
20:32You've been through so much.
20:34You don't need this.
20:36I'm OK.
20:38I thought I lost everything.
20:40You.
20:42Us.
20:46But I'm here.
20:48I'm still...
20:51here.
20:57SIGHS
21:01And I'm never...
21:03leaving you.
