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