Went Up the Hill

Tonight is so formal,

I suppose it, it is somewhat of a quiet comfort

for all of us, I think,

to be able to be here together,

in the walls of Elizabeth's own creation.

Knowing her as I did through her work, she was,

most proud of what she built here,

her home.

And while she may not be here now,

she is survived by her two greatest loves.

Her work and you, Jill -

her wife.

I must say, I do take some of the credit

for you two ending up together.

And now,

the National Gallery has been in touch with me.

They wish to hold a retrospective

of all Elizabeth's--

How did you know her?

So, we have...

You can speak. It's not a chuch.

I didn't.

I, I didn't know her.

Jill invited me.

- I didn't call him. - Well then who did?

No one here even knew he existed.

I don't know, I didn't call him.

I don't even know who he is.

Did she not tell you about...

- About what? - About him. About him.

Ah, I'm sorry, I think there's been a mistake.

Jill called me a couple of days ago and told me that...

Well that Elizabeth had, um...

..and that I could come if I needed, so...

I don't know what you need, but you shouldn't be here.

Jill? It's Jack.

You called me and told me--

Everything okay here?

Yes, yeah, he's just leaving.

I'm not leaving, I was ah...

-I was invited. -She asked you to leave, mate!

Be respectful. They're her family.

I'm her son.

I want him to stay.

Fine.

I'm sorry about that,

I think it's better if everyone leaves, thank you.

I'm sorry about that.

About her.

Who is she?

Elizabeth's sister.

You don't remember inviting me?

Where are you staying?

I can stay in town, it's not a problem.

No, you should stay here, of course.

Did she know where I was?

All this time?

Why didn't you call me...

..before she passed?

It was sudden.

She was very ill.

There's a room down the hallway, you can stay.

Excuse me.

Your stuff's gone.

I really wanted to be there for it.

For you.

I guess I thought we'd made it far enough...

..no...

..that we were past this but...

I can't just wait around for you to let me back in again.

Look after yourself.

I love you.

Here...

Let me help.

Oh no, thanks...

You sleep in here?

Yes.

While she's still here.

Sorry...

You just look...

You look so much like her.

I don't remember her at all.

Didn't your family tell you anything?

Nothing.

No one ever...

..took me in...

..for long enough, at least.

I'm sorry, I thought she, ah...

..you knew that.

I'm very tired, I think we need to rest.

Right.

Goodnight.

Jill!

You okay?

She is okay.

Who is?

Jill.

What is this?

You are holding me here, Jack.

Who are you?

Your mother.

Stop it!

What is this?

They took you from me.

It's okay.

Last time I saw her...

..she wasn't well...

Yeah, that's a tragedy.

Predictable.

Everything okay after yesterday, with Helen?

Yeah.

I was surprised that she came.

They never spoke.

I'm sorry.

Oh...

Get you something more to drink?

- No thank you, it's fine. - Okay. Okay.

We're staying in town tonight,

if you don't want to be alone.

Oh, ah...

I'm...

I'm okay, thank you.

Okay.

I'm not alone.

It's so sad.

I heard they found her in the lake.

It's awful.

- Last night-- - I'm sorry.

- No, I-- - About this morning, I...

I have no idea how I ended up that way.

No!

She drowned.

We couldn't find her body under the ice.

And then, when we found her, she had rocks in her pocket.

Did she leave a note?

She didn't need to.

I've been having trouble sleeping, too.

I wake up in different places.

I find my things in different places,

as if someone's there.

She's not gone--

Jill! Stop! Please.

She called you.

That's why I didn't know yesterday.

She spoke to me too last night, through you.

She has more to tell you,

tonight.

It doesn't feel like you.

What are we doing?

I need him to be together like this.

How? He doesn't even know you.

He needs to.

You want him to know who you are?

Is that what you want?

I don't want to lose you.

You left me.

We were together.

Why?

I thought it would stop.

- Did it stop? - No.

Nothing changed.

The pain just... followed.

Hmm.

Where are you, when you are not here?

Alone.

Me too.

Tomorrow they come and take your body to cremate it.

What will happen then?

I have his...

- And if he leaves? - He won't.

What if...

I can't...

You can't speak.

Why not?

Ask.

You, took your own life.

Why?

Pain!

- From what? - From me.

Is that why I was taken?

You couldn't take care of me?

-I could. -Then why didn't you?

My sister, Helen.

What does she have to do with it?

She made them take you away from me.

Why?

She said I was unfit.

That I was dangerous.

That I couldn't look after you.

Is that true?

No, that's a lie!

Why would she lie?

To get rid of the problem?

Me...

Why didn't you get me back?

Because I couldn't face you.

These, are mine.

You said I was holding you here.

What happens if I let you go?

I am gone.
