Eddie. Mm?

Stop poking me. I can't help it.

You've got work to go to.

That can wait five minutes.

Five minutes?

Well, you're always saying
I should be more ambitious.

(Laughter)

Mummy, Scott's annoying
me! I'm not doing anything.

Amy, you have to
knock. Urgh, that's gross.

Come on, don't encourage them.

Oh, never mind, lover boy.

Hold that thought till tonight.

Radio: You're listening
to 105 fm, radio York...

Thank you. Eh, get your own!

Yeah, well get a job. I'm 15.

So? Sweep some
chimneys or something.

I've got Esther rantzen's
number, you know.

Good, give her a call, see
if she wants to adopt you.

(Yawns) Tired, Amy?
Did you sleep all right?

Alice kept me up.
Yeah, Alice, good one!

I talk to her when I'm in
bed. Scott, leave her alone.

Amy, you need your
sleep. No talking in bed.

Helen, this imaginary friend,
how long is it going to last?

Until she grows out of it.

What, so we...?
Don't challenge her.

Don't encourage her. Just
ignore it and do nothing.

Yeah.

I can do that.

Radio: On digital and on-line...
This is BBC radio five live.

Good morning,
it's seven o'clock.

Nicky Campbell on five live
breakfast coming to you this morning

after George Osborne's announcement
about cutting back on public spending

to deal the the budget deficit.

Back in whitehall, civil servants
in London have agreed to...

The news headlines. Prime minister
Harold Wilson has announced...

Good morning,
Ruth, love. Robert.

There's an egg
left, if you want it.

No, thanks, Evelyn, I'm fine.

You could pour the tea, then.

Do you think the accrington
job will be finished this week?

Barring any more breakdowns. I
have to talk to him at the golf club.

I don't want him any more
miserable than normal.

I thought I'd sort
out the garden today.

You could give me a hand.

Oh.

Unless you've got something
more important to - no.

Right.

Yeah, fine.

(Eerie music)

(Creaking)

Are you all right? (Laughs) Yes!

Sorry, I'm just... Just
getting used to how quiet it is.

There's no traffic noise. I
thought that was what you wanted.

Part of your master plan. I'm just
noticing the difference, that's all.

And, hey, it's our master plan.

So you're not pining
for the bright lights yet?

Still get my fix, I'm
at work every day.

I should have known! You can
take the lawyer out of the city... mm.

Never lived in an
old house before.

Not properly old, I mean.

Not like this. It's what estate
agents call character property.

Pushes the price up.

It does make you think.

All the people who've
lived here before. Yeah.

Lived here, loved here.

Left their Mark on the place.

Paul! Dad's waiting in the car.

I dreamt about her
again. Ruth, please, I -

(car horn beeps)
It was an accident.

You've got to let her go.

(Engine running)

Thirsty? Hm!

A full bladder pushes the uterus
into a better position for the scan.

Thank god for the
Internet, eh? (Laughs)

Come on, people, we're gonna be
late. Whose fault's that, Casanova?

Who's Casanova? Plays
left-back for Leeds united.

I was there first. But I
always have to go in the back!

Sit next to your
imaginary friend. Scott!

Dad, tell him! Come
round here, Amy.

(Car starts)

What was that? I think
we just ran over Alice.

What happened, dad, just
didn't see her? It's not funny.

It is, Amy. It's funny cos
you're funny. Funny in the head.

Stop it! Scott...

Alice is real. So how
come we can't see her?

Maybe she doesn't want you to.

So, she's real, you can
see her but we can't?

Leave her alone.
No, come on, Amy,

how does that work? How come
Alice defies all the laws of physics?

Because she's dead.

Ok, so you can see the
baby's head just here.

Baby's face just
in the front there.

Baby's spine at the back,
little heart beating away there.

Baby's bottom, and baby's legs.

It's amazing. It's like
a scene from alien.

Ow! Amazing, too, obviously.

I can print you out a
picture if you like. Oh.

That's our baby. I know.

Weird, in't it?

Not the baby, this.

You know.

Hm! You'd better get used to it.

(Whirring)

(Wood pigeons cooing)

(Distant) Over here,
mummy, I'm over here.

Over here, mummy, over here!

Ruth! No!

Look what you've done!

Listen to me. It's
been six months now.

There's nothing else to be
done, you've just got to get on.

I'm trying.

It's hard.

Everything reminds me.

Even in the village.

I catch the look
in people's eyes.

Pity.

Or worse.

They blame me, I know they do.
They must think I was a bad mother.

You've still got
responsibilities.

Your marriage.

It's your job to make
sure it survives this,

no-one else can do that

what about Paul?

It's the woman. It's always the
woman who keeps things going.

He barely speaks to me.

Sometimes it's not
about them. What they do.

What they want. Sometimes the
only thing that matters is what you do.

Give in? Crumble?

Throw it all away?

Or hang onto it. Defy them.

Paint on a brave face and
look the world in the eye.

I don't know if I can do that.

We never do.

Not until you try.

TV: Both arms straight
up, bend on the down.

Up!

Arms in front.

Now pull them back.

Up again.

(Sighs)

Huh!

Bloody Alice.

Good riddance.

Can't have been much
to do here as a teenager.

It was all right but we knew how
to make our own entertainment

back in those days.
(Laughs) God, I dread to think.

Good morning, dear. Morning.

Isn't that Ruth Bowen, the
one that lost her daughter?

Such a shame!

(Wood pigeons cooing)

Come along, Molly.

(Crows cawing)

(Scraping)

Radio: It's Sean in sheffield.
Thanks for pulling over for us.

What would you like to say? Is it
worth the money, the Olympics...

(Hissing)

Oh! Shit!

Oh!

(Sighs)

(Hissing)

(Scraping)

Amy, bath's ready.

Get in there
before it gets cold.

Ok.

(Dripping reverberates)

Amy!

Amy, open this door now!

(Grunts with effort)

Amy! Amy!

Look what you've
done. It wasn't me.

Who else could it be?

It was Alice!

(Sobs)

(Shouting)

There's nothing there
that won't wait till tomorrow.

I'd rather get it
finished tonight.

What should I tell Ruth?

Tell her not to wait up.

(Retreating footsteps)

(Birdcalls)

(Panting)

Hey, neesh, only me.
Going for a shower.

All right. Stick the kettle on
when you're done. Will do.

So you just ran at it? I
thought she was in here.

With your shoulder? Yeah.

And just burst right through?
Eddie, forget about the bloody door.

What about Amy? She could
have left the water running,

and gone to her room
and forgot all about it.

She door could have
closed in a draught

and expanded and jammed cos of
the moisture. What is this, Columbo?

That doesn't explain the lock.
Eddie, I don't care about the lock.

What are we going to do about this
Alice business? I thought we decided.

You said don't confront,
don't encourage.

We can't act like nothing's
happened, can we?

No, but we don't want to
overreact either, do we?

Does she talk to you about her?

What, about Alice? Yeah.
Has she said anything?

No. No.

(Engine stops,
handbrake ratchets on)

(Footsteps on stairs)

I'm sorry, love, they messed
up the paperwork on a big order

and I had to ask Paul
to stay on and sort it out.

He's the only one who
understands these things.

He said he'd be home
as soon as he could.

Right. Thanks, Robert.

You know, you're
a terrible liar.

What was I supposed
to do, tell her the truth?

Neesh!

Neesh? In here!

Wow! Look at that.

This must have
been a kid's bedroom.

You strip all that? It
needed to be done.

We're behind schedule. Don't you
think you've done enough for today?

I just want to finish this little
bit. It won't take long, I promise.

Famous last words. (Chuckles)

What do you think you're doing?

I thought I was on a promise.

Sorry. I'm not in the mood, not
since Amy tried to flood the place.

Aw, Helen.

I wish you'd have
told me earlier.

Why?

What difference does it make?
I skipped pudding at dinnertime

cos I thought, you know.

So, in future if I change
my mind about sex

I should give you proper notice so
you can adjust your pudding intake?

Obviously, when you say
it like that it sounds bad.

But yeah, yeah, you should.

(Hissing)

Aargh! (Clatter)

Nisha?

Nisha!

(Distant) Over here,
mummy, I'm over here.

(Wood pigeons cooing)

Secret property of Alice Bowen.

Yes, I know, Derek, but it's
a pain for me, too, literally.

A broken ankle and possible
concussion, apparently.

No, no driving.

Well, I'll have to work
from home for now.

If there wasn't such pressure on
beds, I'd keep her in another night.

Everything's all right, though?

The fracture's not displaced, it should
heal in a few weeks if she stays off it.

She'll have a headache for a
while but it'll pass. The baby's ok?

As far as we can tell.

If you notice anything unusual
then come back in, obviously.

And she might want to
take things easy for a while.

(Scoffs) I doubt it.

Thanks. Ok. Bye.

Amy, you know when
the bathroom flooded?

Uh-huh.

Well, does Alice often
do things like that?

I don't know.

See, it seems to me
that any girl who does that

must be very naughty.

Alice is a good girl.

Good girls don't do things
like that, though, do they?

No.

You see, I don't like you
being friends with naughty girls.

So I don't think you should
speak to Alice any more.

But then what will she do?

Well, she might get
bored and go away.

She can't go away.
(Laughs) Why not?

She lives here.

She's always lived here.

I don't want you talking to her
any more, do you understand?

Yes.

You promise?

I promise. Good girl.

Mmm! (Kisses)

Mum made me promise.

But I did this.

(Shop bell rings) Oh!

You come in first,
love. Thank you.

Hi.

Do you have any paracetamol?
Of course. One second.

Make sure you read the
label. I know it by heart.

Ooh, hold on.

Here. Oh, thank you.

Reads: If symptoms
persist, consult your doctor.

Hm! I'm not registered here
yet. We've just moved in.

But... I know.

It's on my 'to do'
list. Near the top.

So are you actually
in the village?

Just on the edge. Marchlands.

Marchlands? Yeah.
Do you know it?

I used to live there.

My family rented
it when I was a kid.

Really? Oh!

So, erm... Is it a good
house to grow up in?

Well, you know, that
was way back in the '80s.

A long time ago.

You might know my partner. He used
to live here when he was a teenager.

Mark ashburn?

Mark. Yeah, I remember him.

He was a couple of
years older than me.

Left to go off to uni. I didn't
think we'd see him back here.

That's my fault. We were
looking to move out of the city

and I wanted him show
me his old stomping ground.

Then we saw that the house
was up for sale, so here we are.

Well, he'll know
all about the house.

Yeah. Huh.

Tell him Scott maynard said hi.

I'll probably see him
around. Yeah. I'm sure.

Thanks, then. Bye. Bye.

(Eerie music)

All right?

Yeah.

I got some tomatoes,
to do some pasta.

That ok? Yeah, fine.

(Mews) Aw, he's so sweet!

She. It's a little girl.

Is she mine? Can we keep her?

That's the idea. (Yes!)

I'm going to show Scott.

Aw!

A cat? Kitten.

You bought her a cat without
speaking to me first? Yeah.

It just came to me. She can talk
to the cat. So... No more Alice.

For your information,
I've already dealt with that.

Really? Yes. Really.

So we didn't need
a cat. You dipstick.

She is cute though, isn't she?

bag out to the kitchen for me?

Yes, er...

TV: No, wait for me to
say it! I don't feel very well.

Audience: Aw!

Anyway, let's enjoy
ourselves, let's...

Paul...

..Can we talk?

You never speak to me any
more. You barely look at me.

I'm just trying to get on.

To get on with what? Not me.

Not us. Things
need to settle down.

That's all. Settle down?
What does that mean?

Alice is gone. She's
not coming back.

I know that.

Don't you think I know that?

Then you have to
let her go. I can't!

She won't let me. I have this
dream about her every night.

It's like she's still
here. Ruth, please.

I keep thinking about what
happened. I still don't understand.

There's no mystery. Where's
her coat? Or her silver cross?

In Blackwater tarn! She drowned.

She wandered off,
fell in and drowned.

She wouldn't wander off.
Why can't you just accept -

because she wouldn't
do that! But she did!

She did and now she's gone!

She was a good girl!

You're making it
worse. Our little girl.

Can't you see that?

Wow!

Very impressive. I'm

I'll say.

I didn't know you could sign.

You saw that? Who's the woman?

Olive runcie. She's

Up the forest road.
My mum knew hers.

Used to do their garden for
them. It were good money.

So she taught you to

I did warn you. There's bound
to be people who remember me.

Not exactly.

I told you. An old couple.
I never spoke to them.

I was hardly ever down this way.

Except for when you were

small bedroom into a sewing room.

Alice's room?

Well, it's not being
used. Evelyn -

it's not. It's Alice's room.

It's empty. You can't.

It's my house. It's
their home, too.

They don't need it, not now.

Not unless they're thinking about
another baby. Evelyn, please.

You think we can
just replace her?

No-one said that.
It's what you meant.

Don't presume to know my mind.

I wouldn't want to!

You think you're the
only one who suffers?

Alice was our
granddaughter. I'm her mother!

Don't you dare compare the two!

You weren't so precious swanning off to your
evening classes and leaving her with us!

That's enough!

Do not speak to
my wife like that.

Alice's room will stay as it is
until Ruth and I decide otherwise

and you will keep out of
matters which don't concern you.

Do you understand?

You stood up for me. She had
no right to speak to you like that.

Thank you. You're my wife.

It hasn't felt like it lately.

Don't work late tonight.
Come home. Please.

Ok. Promise.
