I’m back, Tim

I’ll be up in a minute, Tim

Morning, my lovely

Did you miss me?

Sorry I was gone longer than expected

It’s been a strange morning

You're looking a bit pale

Mmmm

You seem to have a bit of a temperature

you poor thing

I’m not feeling great either

just so tired

So much to do every day

Still...

No rest for the wicked, hey

My head's been all over the place the last few days

but earlier...

I got the answer

I know you think this is gonna sound strange...

and you’ll most likely think I’ve gone mad, but ...

I felt God...

touch my heart today

Seriously

I felt him right here

Well you know me...

I’m not one to believe this sort of thing usually, but...

God spoke to me

and He told me exactly what to do

Exactly!

I think he felt sorry for me really

because of our...

current situation

I always thought religious people were delusional...

mad...

but it just goes to show you how things can change in an instant

Just like that!

-It’s a bit dark, isn’t it? -Hmmm

Wonder what that says about the artist

I don’t know. Not my cup of tea

Looks a bit like you in a bad mood!

Oi, you. Shut up

I don’t know. I was hoping to see a nice sculpture or something

Some naked men perhaps?

Isabelle, stop it

Oh, wait up, hunk alert

Interesting picture

Yeah, I like it

I’m Tim by the way

Abbie...

and this is Isabelle...

Oh!

So do you come here often?

No. First time

I’m supposed to be meeting a mate here

Oh, right. Well, it’s a nice place

Yeah

If I’m honest with you, I don’t really like art very much

I appreciate it, but I can’t paint to save my life

I’m not very creative

How about you, Abbie? Do you paint?

Oh God, no. No. I’m a writer

Well, I hope to be. That’s my ambition

Well, maybe I’ll read one of your books one day

I hope so

Yeah. Me too

So, err. I don’t think my friend’s actually going to turn up. I don’t suppose you fancy having a drink, do you?

Yeah, OK

I need a break

So, you having a good day?

Perfect. How about you?

Yeah, not too bad

Mind you...

You know I can’t swim, right?

No

Yeah

You never said

Did I not?

- Well I can’t. So if I was going to stand up like this... - No, sit down, sit down!

Sit down!

- Oh my god - Careful

Careful

Only joking. Of course I can swim

But if I couldn’t and I accidentally fell in...

would you give me the kiss of life and save me?

Hmmm. No

Well that’s nice of you

I would watch you sink to the bottom of the lake

Yeah, but you wouldn’t really though, would you?

No

Besides... if I went in...

I’d make sure you came in with me

And there’d be nothing you could do about it

OK. Lunch.

It’s beautiful here

Yeah

I used to come here a lot when I was a kid

Yeah?

Yeah. Climbing trees

getting myself all muddy

Listen. I’ve got something to ask you

If I make you dinner, are you free on Thursday?

Oh, I can't

I’ve got to meet Isabelle after work

Oh come on. See her another day

I can’t let her down

Please?

Oh come on. Please?

OK, OK

Yeah? Thank you

What is it anyway?

I’m not telling you all my secrets

But it just goes to show you how things can change in an instant

Just like that

I think sometimes when tragedy strikes...

it makes you see things in a different way

I’m never going to take anything for granted anymore

I mean, look at us

That didn’t turn out the way we expected, did it?

You see, Tim...

God...

wants to help us

I think perhaps you should start believing in God too

It might help you

I bought you a bible in town earlier

I’ll bring it up later

Bring you nearer to God

He loves us all no matter what, Tim

and now...

I understand everything

Now it all makes sense

This is fate, Tim

All of this is fate

It’s a big test for both of us

What’s this?

Why don’t you have a look?

Do you know what? Close your eyes

Go on. Close your eyes

Right...

Now you can open them

Oh my god!

Like it?

Are you kidding me?

Like it?

I love it

It’s a pleasure, honey

I thought it was about time you had something to give you more motivation to write

It certainly will

God I don’t know what to say

Well...

I have something else for you aswell

What is it?

I think you should close your eyes again

OK

Open them

Abbie...

I’ve never met anybody quite like you

From the moment I saw you, I just...

I just knew

I want you to live with me

I want you to grow old with me

I want you to have babies with me

I want you to marry me

Will you?

Yes

Yes, of course

OK

Well, we’d better see how this fits then, hadn’t we?

So tell me something...

How has a girl like you never been married before?

Never really found the right man

Well... until now

I was engaged once before

years ago

but he ended up being a total jerk

loved his bands more than he loved me

Well he lost a good woman

Abbie, can you do something for me?

Yeah, sure

I want you to give up work

I want you to be able to concentrate on your writing full time

I don’t want you to worry about money or anything

I make enough for us to get by

Besides, I’ve got some stashed away so after we’re married we can have a holiday

That’s not fair on you paying for everything

I don’t mind working. I’ve always been independent

No, honey

I don’t want you to worry about anything

I want you to be able to just write without any pressures

OK

If you’re sure

Yeah, I’m sure

Besides...

When you’ve sold millions of books

and become this big multi-millionaire writer...

you can look after me. How does that sound?

OK

It’s a deal

Home sweet home Mrs Hemp

It’s going to take me a while to get used to that name

Yeah?

Well, you’d better get used to it!

I’ve got a surprise for you by the way

Oh yeah? What’s that?

I’m pregnant

Are you serious?

I did a test this morning, before we left

You’re going to be a daddy

That’s amazing

God, I love you

I’m going to be a daddy

Sweetheart?

Hi

Hey love. How you doing?

Yeah. Good.

Cool

Err, listen...

I’m going out and have a few drinks, if that’s alright?

with my mate Shawn here

You remember Shawn, he’s the ugly one

Piss off you

[laughter]

Hi. Congratulations on the wedding and baby, Abbie

Thank you

Nice to meet you

Next time I’ll bring my wife. I’m sure she'd love to meet you

Yeah, that’ll be great

OK

I’ll see you later

OK

Shhhh

It's two o'clock in the morning!

Naughty me

What you gonna do about it?

What’s happened to you?

I don’t even know who you are anymore?

I told you ages ago that I had to go out with Shawn and the lads for a drink

OK. He done me a very, very big favour

OK, now...

You knew about this, so stop your moaning, Miss Moany

What’s that?

It was your dinner

Oh!

Do you know how long that took me to cook?

Quit your whining, Miss Whiny Whingy Whiny Person

Alright? OK?

I tell you what. Look...

I’ve had enough of your questions for one night

So I'm going to go to bed

Cos I’ve had enough of your questions for one evening

I’m going to sleep in a bit

Got a big day tomorrow

Don’t want to be too tired

Let’s say a little prayer together, shall we?

You especially need to believe in God more

He might be able to help with your suffering

Everything happens for a reason, Tim

Even if sometimes it is cruel

That’s what I’ve learnt

God taught me that

Come on

Dear Lord...

We thank you for guiding us towards the light

We are your pupils

your children

and we pray that you forgive us our sins

Tim!

Close your eyes

It’s not respectful

That’s better

Sorry

Dear Lord. We thank you for blessing us with life

and showing us the true value of existence

Amen

There!

Doesn’t that feel better?

It’ll be our anniversary next week

Can you believe that?

Doesn’t time fly?

I know I haven’t been exactly how you wanted me to be

As your wife I mean, but...

I did try to please you most of the time

I think I did really well to be honest

I mean, you weren’t easy to cope with

and there is only so much

a person can take

Did you see that, Tim?

You see?

I’m not going mad

Tim

I need to talk to you about something important

I need to go my own way

I can’t cope with you anymore

Let’s get you more comfortable

I did love you, sweetheart

but I just don’t have the same feelings anymore.

Isabelle’s really excited about our good news

She thinks it’s going to be a girl

But I don’t know...

I think it’s going to be a boy

Yeah, maybe... Maybe a boy

Well I’ve not had much sickness

and they say if you get really sick during pregnancy it’s likely to be a girl

Oh! Guess what?

She knows this guy that runs a publishing firm

and she’s been talking to him about my writing

and apparently he’s really interested in looking at my work

I’ve just got to finish the last chapter and then I can send it to him

I hope he likes it

I’m so lucky to have a friend like Isabelle

Yeah, that’s good

Well, fingers crossed

you might be looking at a best-selling author

What about me?

Hmm?

What do you mean?

Well, I thought I was your best friend?

Well of course you are

You’re my husband

What I meant was... Isabelle is my best female friend

So, umm... how was work?

Yeah, it was alright

Look, can we just go home? I’m missing the football results

Yes, sure

Are you okay?

Yeah, I’m OK. Sorry, I’m just tired. Work, you know?

If I’m honest, I can’t wait to have this week off

Can’t remember the last time I had a week off over Christmas

Be great

Mum’s looking forward to it as well

Well, don't forget my sister’s coming Boxing Day

Yeah... I don't think so

What do you mean?

I haven't seen my sister in months!

Look, I just want to have a quiet Christmas, alright? No bother

You always got on alright with her before

She just talks all the time though, you know? Just goes on

It’s my sister, Tim

You can see her another time

Besides... she has these brats with her. Constantly running around, screaming their heads off!

That’s my family!

Don’t ever talk about them like that again! What’s wrong with you?

Don’t embarrass me, Abbie!

Not here, and not now!

Look, this discussion is over

Come on. We’re going

Have you seen my keys Abbie?

No I haven’t

Maybe try your coat pocket?

How are you Abbie?

I’m OK thanks. How are you?

Yeah I’m cool

Just plodding along as usual

Helen says hello by the way

Oh that’s nice. Say hi from me

Look. When you’re done flirting, do you think you can help me look?

Alright buddy, calm down

It’s none of your business, Shawn

Keep checking in here. I’m gonna check the sitting room

What’s rattled his cage?

Sorry about that

Don’t apologize. He’s out of order

I think he’s stressed about work

Having to do the extra hours and all

I think he is feeling the pressure from the new baby, you see

He’ll be ok, don’t worry

Yeah

Maybe

Found ‘em

Do me a favour mate. Go put that in the car would ya?

No problem

See ya later Abbie

Do you think I’m blind?

What?

Trying to make me look like an arsehole in front of my friends

I didn’t

I didn’t

Don’t ever disrespect me again

I’m so sorry for hitting you

I just... I just get so jealous sometimes

And what with work and...

everything

It’s just...

Shawn’s my best friend, alright?

And I’m sure he fancies you

I just took it out on you. I’m sorry

I love you so much

I just get so mad... sometimes...

But you’re my woman. You’re my woman!

Nobody else’s

But I promise you...

I promise you... this will never happen again

I’m so sorry

Sorry

Babe?

I’m just going to work

Ok. See you later

Look...

what I found!

Haven’t we been sneaky?

Now I’m mad!

Really... mad!

They accepted my book for publication

Years ago!

and you knew this!

Did it hurt you to see me doing something successful?

Huh?

What was it?

Jealousy?

Because...

you’re a sad...

little...

mummy’s boy!

And what about these other letters?

from Isabelle?

and my sister?

You made me think...

that I was all alone

That nobody cared

You didn’t ask me to quit my job...

so I could focus on my writing

No

You...

wanted to control me

Trap me

Well...

now I’m in control

and you...

are all alone

No mumsie to help you this time

I was going to make things pain free for you

Not now

I’m not going to give you your meds now

I’m going to make sure...

you feel...

everything!

What’re you doing sleeping out here?

You disgust me!

What the hell are you going on about now?

Aww... My bloody head

Serves you right, you bastard

I know you’re seeing someone else

What the hell are you talking about?

I could smell her perfume on your shirt

It stinks!

You’ve got it all wrong, as usual

I was just dancing with some girl and she was rubbing herself up against me. That’s all

While I’m at home, pregnant with your baby?

And you expect me to hang around here, whilst you get as fat as a whale! I don’t think so

Are you cheating on me?

Tell me!

Just be honest with me

Well, so what if I am?

I’m your wife

and I’m having your child

Why are you treating me so badly?

I’ve never done anything to hurt you!

Now you listen here

I can see whoever the bloody hell I like!

I know you’ve been speaking to Isabelle still

I’ve seen the phone records. I know you’ve been lying

So don’t you ever expect me to listen to you!

Who is she?

Shut up!

Do you even know who you are?

Timmy?

I do

and so does God

He feels my pain

He’s not happy

I mean, it’s unbelievable if you think about it...

I went round the guy’s office...

Walk in, just asked him for a pay rise.

And he turns round and tells me there’s no money in the company kitty

Give me a break!

If you go round that guy’s house...

there’s a new car on that driveway...

What the hell are you wearing?

It's the new dress I bought, for tonight

You said you liked it

You look like a complete slut

You’re way too old and fat to be wearing something like that

Jesus!

Seriously. Go and change

I bought it especially...

Abbie, I’m serious. Go change it!

I'm not going to be seen out with you looking like that

[Tim] Go change it!

[Tim] Go on

Thanks guys, that was lovely

No worries mate

Yeah. Thank you. It was really nice

It’s our pleasure

It was lovely to be over tonight

So, Abbie...

Do you fancy a girl’s night out soon?

Yeah. That’ll be great

I haven’t been on a girlie night out for ages

Well we need to change that then don’t we?

Well...

We’ve got to enjoy it before you become a mum.

So...

are we gonna have kids?

Err, never

You’re enough to cope with

See the abuse I get?

Does anyone want any coffee?

Err... yeah, thanks

Yes please

I’ll take these plates out for ya, love

Thanks

You’ve always got to be centre of attention, haven’t you?

What do you mean?

What do you think I mean?

You, talking all the time

Do you honestly think that Shawn and Helen are interested in your opinions?

I don't think I talk too much

You’ve got verbal diarrhoea, love

One stupid opinion after the next

I was just making conversation

Do you honestly think they are interested about you and your stupid bloody books?

They seemed interested

They're being polite, love. Polite

Honestly...

you are a stupid cow sometimes, you know that?

And you’re not going out with Helen either

You always go out with Shawn

I never get to go out

Yeah

Well I know what women are like when they’re together

D’you know what?

Shawn actually dislikes you

He hates you

and there you are...

giving cow eyes to him in front of his wife!

You’re an embarrassment

I didn’t...

So, Tim...

What was that favour you wanted to ask me about earlier?

Oh

Me and Abbie have got to go off and see my Mum

she’s been a bit under the weather recently

anyway

I’ve got a package being delivered that I’m not going to be around to sign for

It’s really important, mate

and I was just wondering, would you be able to do it for me?

Yeah sure, course I will

Thank you mate

Here...

Here’s the key to the house, okay. Let yourself in.

when I get back, I’ll buy you a couple beers, okay

Here we go then guys

[Abbie] Thank you

[Tim] Cheers

OK. Help yourselves

Abbie?

Are you OK?

Yeah

Yeah sorry

I’m just a bit tired

It's been a long day

We’re great though ain’t we love, eh?

Yeah

Thank you for coming round to cook, Abbie

I’ve been unable to do it myself

I’ve been sick with worry

I haven’t seen you for three weeks, Tim

Yeah I know, sorry Mum

I’ve just been busy at the yard

You need to phone me more at least

Abbie...

I think...

the meat is a little undercooked...

and the vegetables are overcooked

Roasts are a question of ...

timing

my dear

Yeah, she's right you know, darling. This is a little bit chewy

I’ve got an idea

Why can’t you take time out from your busy schedule...

and teach her some domestic skills, eh?

That won't be necessary

But mum’s a better cook than you

I can cook!

Anyway, why are you done up like a dog's dinner?

Just thought I would make a bit of an effort, that’s all

Don’t you like it?

He is right, Abbie

It wasn’t necessary to dress up on my behalf

Anyway, mum...

you’re gonna be a grandmum

That’s good news, isn’t it?

Yes. About time

I was beginning to think Abbie’s bits weren’t working properly “downstairs”

Well we’ve been trying to think up girls’ names anyway

Abbie likes “Samantha”

Umm...

Well...

We’re going to redecorate the spare room into a nursery

Hopefully Barbara will approve

It’s not easy being a mum

It’s a tough job

You do know that?

No I didn’t, Barbara

Is it really?

Now calm down girls, alright?

This is supposed to be a happy occasion

Mum?

Oh my god. Mum?

Mum!

If your father was here he would be very proud, Tim

You remind me so much of your father

He was a great dad

He was hardworking and handsome

just like you

Do you know...

one year he did three jobs just so we could pay the bills

He never gave up on us

Nowadays they don’t know the meaning of hard work

Well it's none of my business, but perhaps it's you putting pressure on him

You're not helping him financially, are you?

You've got to understand - he'll have another mouth to feed soon

[Mother's voice] You're not helping him

[Mother's voice] Perhaps it's you

Please, please Abbie

Please Abbie. I'm so sorry

Who is interrupting us now?

Who is it, please?

Are you okay in there?

Hello

Are you okay, Abbie?

Yeah, I’m fine. Come in

Good, good

We haven’t seen Tim in ages

Manager keeps asking about him

I told him I ain’t seen him all week

You don’t know when he’ll be back in work?

No

He won’t

Not for a while

I don’t know, to be honest with you Shawn

He’s not very well

He’s been in bed all week

Oh. Right

And...

you didn’t call the manager and let him know?

Didn’t think about it really

Just had so much going on

He’s really not very well, you see

Are you sure everything is okay?

You look terrible

Thanks!

No

I didn’t mean to sound rude

I mean ...

I mean you look tired

No, I’m okay

I’m sure he’d be happy to see me

Might even cheer him up

Is he upstairs?

No!

I’m sorry Shawn. I lied to you

He left

But it’s okay... I’m happy

In fact...

I couldn’t be happier

We really weren’t getting on very well, you see

He’s got a terrible temper

I tried my best to make it work, but... no

I lost that...

attraction for him

I lost that... spark, you could say

You don’t know where he went?

No

Not a clue. He left about three days ago

He just left? Without saying anything?

Nothing

Not a word

Oh, I see

Like I said...

I’ve never been happier

I'd better go

I’m sorry about you and Tim

I think that's best

That’s Tim’s wallet. Why would he leave without taking that?

D’you know what, Shawn?

I've always fancied you

What? I'm happily married. You know that. Come on, Shawn...

I've seen the way you look at me!

Stop it! We mustn't!

Don’t you like me?

Yes, but not like that

Don't you find me attractive?

It's not that.

I'm happily married and Tim’s my best mate.

Look...

I’m going. I’m sorry Abbie...

this isn’t right!

Hmm

Looks like the meds are wearing off fast.

Be time for you to say goodbye soon

Where have you been?

Just out for a walk. Get some fresh air

I’ve been thinking everything through

I’m not happy, Tim

I bought you flowers. They’re your favourites

I don’t want your fucking flowers!

I want you to treat me like a wife should be treated

Hold on a second here. Just calm down. I’m just trying to make things right

Right?

Things haven’t been right in ages!

I am sick to death of living like this

You treat me like shit

You insult me

You’re making me ill

And all of this strain is most likely having an effect on our baby

Stop talking to me like this

Get off me!

I bought these flowers for you...

and you’re going to fucking take them!

Come on

It’s alright

Up you come

Shhhh

It’s OK

You make me do this to you

Come on

It’s alright. Take it easy

Look at me

Now, next time...

I get you flowers...

all you’ve got to do is be grateful

Hmm?

Good girl

Shit!

Ti... Tim!

Tim!

Tim!

Come on. In you come

You did well not to tell the doctors anything

Would’ve made matters worse

It wasn’t my fault we lost the baby

I’m going to make you a cup of tea

Look, it’s been three weeks now Abbie

You can’t keep moping around the house, darling

You haven’t eaten. You’re going to make yourself ill

Why don’t you do some typing, eh?

You haven’t written anything in ages

Look, I’m sorry, OK?

It was... It was just a bad accident

We can move on from this. We can

Just you and me. You and me against the world!

Hey love?

Look I’ll call the doctor tomorrow

I’ll get him to come around. He can give you something

Make you feel better

Just... just don’t say anything, okay?

We don’t want to make matters worse

Thanks for coming, doc

Ever since the miscarriage she doesn’t eat...

She won’t talk to me...

Lies there on the couch and just does nothing

Do you mind if I talk to your wife alone?

It might be easier for her to communicate

She has been through a very traumatic experience

I’d kind of like to be here for support

I understand your concern, Mr Hemp, but...

I would rather see her on my own, if that’s ok

Yeah, errr...

Yeah, of course

I’ll be in the other room then

Hello Abbie

My name’s Dr Ribbon

Your husband got in touch with me because he’s concerned about you

He says you haven’t been looking after yourself since the loss of the baby

How are you feeling?

Can you talk about it?

Samantha

That’s her name

That’s a lovely name

Abbie, when was the last time you ate?

The coffin...

It was so tiny

I’m just going to take your blood pressure

Don’t be frightened, it’s ok

It won’t take long

I just want to be left alone

Sit up

It won’t take long

Right

Pop these on here, so we can hear what’s going on

Your blood pressure is a little high but that is to be expected

You are going through a very traumatic time

I would like to refer you to an outside organisation that may help

We’ve got to get you better, Abbie

A lot of women in your situation have found it to be very helpful

In the meantime, I can write you a prescription for some tablets...

that will help ease your stress a little

I just want it all to end

You really are very lucky to have such a supportive husband

You should try and talk to him

I can see he loves you

Is everything ok?

Look after yourself, Abbie

Is she going to be alright?

She’s suffering stress from the loss of the baby. But she’ll be ok in time

I’ve written a prescription for diazepam

Should help calm her down

If you could pick it up as soon as possible, that would be great

Yeah. Yeah of course

She needs a lot of rest...

and tender loving care

Has she said anything?

She’s very vulnerable at the moment

You need to be there for her

One hundred percent

Look after her, Mr Hemp

Yes of course

Just glad she’s ok

[sound of typewriter keys]

Do you realise that you haven't shagged me in ages, woman?

What’s this? What are you writing?

Get off Tim, it’s not finished yet

Whoah, whoah, whoah!

Uhh

What is this?

“Bethan ran down to meet Massimo”

“She leapt on the back of the bike...”

“seconds later they were roaring...”

Stop it!

“...down the open road”

“This was the first time Bethan had been on a motorbike”

“...and it seemed to her...”

- “...that it was one of the best things she had ever experienced.” - Tim, stop it!

Ooh!

“Bethan enjoyed the sensation of freedom the bike gave her.”

“And a warm breeze ruffled her hair”

“...caressed her skin”

Why won’t you just leave me alone?

Ah ha

I’m not hurting you

This is the only time I have to myself

It’s all I’ve got

Well, let me tell you something

Because this shit...

doesn’t put money in our pockets

Well you wouldn’t let me work!

You were supposed to take care of me. Remember?

Why does it bother you so much?

Me doing the things I like

Why can’t you be supportive?

Encouraging

Why does everything have to be about you, you, you?

Be careful, Abbie

Do you know what, Tim?

I don’t even care

Do what you want!

You’ve broken me already

- Cheers, mate - Cheers!

So yeah. I was a bit of an arse to buy this place, wasn’t I?

Well, I didn’t want to say anything mate

Well, that’s alright. You’re going to do all the plastering and painting. Everything’s up to you

I’m paying you. I’m going to sit there and do nothing.

[they laugh]

- Do you know how long it’s going to take? - Yeah

I’m the one that bought the place

I’d better go

Alright mate. Take it easy

See you later

Why do you have to look so fucking miserable all the time?

Uhh?

Why can’t you actually make an effort for me? Just once

Look at you. Look what you’re wearing

What’s this? Eh? What’s this?

For once in your life can you make an effort for me? I’m your husband

And you wonder why I look at other women

No, you’re not going anywhere. I’m trying to give you advice, here

It’s these fucking tablets that you’re taking. They’re messing with your head

And I’m sick to death

of seeing you wander all around the house

bitching and whining and crying “Oh I lost the baby”

It’s fucking attention seeking

You caused it!

After you hit me

You killed our baby, not me

No. Don’t you ever fucking say that to me again!

I don’t go to work every single day to come back to this... this shit!

I pay the fucking bills around here, not you

You lost our baby and I’m gonna fucking well make sure that you give me another

Get on that fucking table

If I have to fuck you every day, you’re giving me another fucking baby. Do you understand?

Stop!

Please, please, please stop

Please don’t

Do you understand me?

[Abbie cries in pain]

You’re giving me a fucking baby!

[Tim snoring]

Girl's voice "Mummy, save me"

[a woman crying]

You killed our baby

[A sinister laugh]

No!

Is my lunch in there?

Yeah. It’s all packed

What’s the matter?

Nothing

Nothing. I’m fine

Have a good day

I’ll see you at six

Clean yourself up. You look a state

[Abbie screams]

[Tim tuts]

Stupid, stupid

Do you think you can leave me?

You honestly think you could leave me?

Huh? Is that what you were trying to do?

If I can’t have you then no one can have you

Huh? Don’t you ever try to fucking leave me.

I will not let you leave me for anybody

You are mine! Do you understand?

You can understand. Say yes. Go on, say yes

- Say yes, you can't leave - Yes. Yes - Yeah, yeah!

Come on. Keep struggling

Show me you can struggle

Show me. You don’t have the fucking strength

Come on. You don’t, do you?

No, you don’t

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on

[They both pant for breath]

[Abbie moans]

Hey! Afternoon

[Abbie coughs] Ahhhh

It appears we had a little accident

Don’t worry, sweetie. Everything will be alright

You think I’m stupid?

Hmm?

You think I can’t read you like a book?

You think I don’t know what you were doing?

Hmm?

You were lucky I didn’t kill you

The next time you might not be so lucky

Just where the hell do you think you were going anyway?

Huh?

You've got no friends

Your family don’t even want to know about you these days

[Tim chuckles]

Have you ever stopped to wonder why it is that everybody rejects you?

Everybody abandons you

[Abbie sniffs]

No. You probably haven’t, have you?

My mother was right about you, you know

You really are just a ...

pathetic...

poor little excuse for a woman

Sorry, but it’s the truth honey

[Abbie cries]

The other night I was doing you such a big favour you know?

Shagging you

Cos the state you’re in at the moment, nobody else would touch you with a barge pole

Now I want you to listen to me, and I want you to listen to me good...

You’re mine

You belong to me

Nobody else

And if you ever, ever, try to pull a stunt like that again...

I will fucking kill you!

You understand me?

Yeah? Getting through?

Good

Now, I don’t know about you...

but I’m gonna go and get changed

We’re in a bit of a state

[Girl's voice] Are you there?

[Girl's voice] Are you there?

[Girl's voice] It’s me, Mummy

Samantha?

Is that you?

[Girl's voice] Yes, Mummy

[Girl's voice] Why did I die?

Please forgive me

I was too frightened to leave daddy

[Girl's voice] Daddy killed me, Mummy...

[Girl's voice] Hurt you and took away your dreams

[Girl's voice] Remember the letters

What letters?

[Sound of static]

Samantha?

Samantha?

Don’t go

Please!

[Girl's voice] Do it mummy

Yes

[kettle boiling]

[Tim snoring]

It’s time

You hurt me too much, Tim

All I ever did was look after you

[Tim pants and gasps]

[Abbie hums]

I can't cope with you around anymore

You disgust me!

See?

I’m not as weak as you thought I was

Am I?

No

The years I suffered...

with you treating me like an animal

To be your little dog

Woof!

Woof!

Woof!

Abbie...

Please...

Please...

Did you really think..

I was gonna put up with this forever?

The beatings...

the mental abuse...

Killing our child!

Please Abbie...

I’m so sorry

But I need you...

...to understand my pain

I need you to feel my suffering

[Tim tries to speak]

Like you always say...

“You made me do this”

No no no no!

[Tim screams in pain]

[the fire crackles]

[the door slams shut]

[the sound of typewriter keys]

Are you OK, Abbie?

I’ve finished my new book

I did it

Would you like to read it?

Maybe later, Abbie, but you have a visitor

Really?

It’s your husband, Abbie

He’s come to visit you

It’s been a while, Abbie

Look, I bought you flowers

They’re your favourites.

[Abbie whimpers]

Are you taking your medication?

I worry about you

The house is so lonely without you

Look. I’m sorry, ok?

I wish I could bring you home with me.

But I can’t. You just...

you’re just too dangerous to live with right now

You needed help

Where’s your god now?

Huh?

Where’s your fucking god now?

“You made me do this”

[knocking on door]

[knocking on door again]

Here...

Here’s the key to the house, okay. Let yourself in

[key in lock]

You’re going to rot in here

So I suggest you start praying.

[Tim laughs mockingly]

Help! Now.

You’re dead!

Dead!

-Calm down Abbie - I killed you! - Calm down

[Abbie keeps screaming]

You okay, sir? Let me see to that wound

I’m okay. Thank you

Just worried about my wife

I know Mr Hemp

Must be hard seeing her like that

Life can be so cruel sometimes

Yeah

You’re dead!

[mobile phone rings]

Hey ma

[Mother] Well?

Yeah, just left the hospital

[Mother] And Abbie?

Yeah, don't worry about it

She's sorted

[Mother] Very good, son [Tim chuckles]

Yeah, look, I'm gonna be... [Mother] You're well rid of her

[Thud and sound of air brakes]

[Mother] Tim? Tim?
