Whispers

Anna.

I suppose you expect me to care for your child once again?

Mother, Catherine's old enough to look after herself.

Get herself to bed and brush her teeth.

I should know.

I was left alone far longer and far younger.

How dare you?

Just because you've decided to stay here

and shrivel up and die doesn't mean I have to.

You're just jealous of me.

You ungrateful child!

I sacrificed everything for you!

Now you've abandoned your bastard child with me, while you constantly disappear.

You are a horrible mother!

I learned from the absolute best.

Your father would die if he could see what you've done to yourself!

You look like a painted harlot!

I'm glad my father never had to see what an evil, vile woman you've become!

She doesn't love you.

Oh that's enough play, child!

It's time you went to bed.

No, now there's no point in being sentimental.

It will get you no-where in this world.

To bed.

Okay, my lovelies!

It's time to go inside.

Harry?

I'll always be with you

Cathrine

I'm Marie

Catherine, who were you talking to?

My friend, Marie.

Catherine, what are you doing?

It's for Marie.

There's no-one there. You're crazy!

OK, time for bed.

She's crazy.

She's crazy!

Harry!

Goodnight.

Abby?

Yes?

Can you go get Marie?

Ah it's sleeping time now, we can look for her in the morning.

But she's afraid to be alone.

I'm sure she'll be fine.

Goodnight

Catherine.

What's wrong, are you alright Catherine?

There's something scary over there.

There's no-one here.

Go back to sleep.

Catherine...

your friend Harry took my dolly...

he must die.

Have your bath.

I'll check on you in a bit.

Harry: "She's Crazy"

[Gurgling sound and a voice]

Catherine,

Catherine what did you do?

Marie did it.

Catherine what did you do?

We have come here today...

...to give thanks for life.

And to give comfort to one another...

in our grief.

Lord,

look with compassion on your children

in their loss

Give to troubled hearts

the light of hope.

In Jesus Christ our Lord,

Amen.

Hey.

You OK?

Sleep alright?

Yeah.

I've brought us a snack.

A little secret one.

You want some?

Here you go.

It's OK you can take one.

Good.

Mummies gonna go to kip for a little?

OK?

I love you.

I love you too.

And I love you.

Ah Catherine, thanks for being so patient.

Here you are.

I want you to take three of these.

One after every meal.

They'll help you feel more relaxed.

Thank you Doctor.

Here we've discussed this in length.

Time will be the true healing power here.

Losing a baby...

the pain that goes with it is not something that

they make a magic pill for.

Be patient.

Allow yourself to grieve.

Now, enjoy your holiday with your husband.

Getting out into the country's what the doctor ordered.

A change of scenery will do you well.

Thank you.

I'll see you when you get back.

How are you and Harvey doing now?

You know he loves you right?

Yeah.

He loves you very much.

You know that.

How do you feel towards him?

Is there tension?

How are your days?

Fine.

Do you love him?

Yes.

Let's talk about what happened to Lilly.

I can't.

Tell me what happened

the day that Lilly died.

I don't wanna talk about it.

Do you remember it?

There's nothing to tell.

I see you Catherine...

Mommy!

Mommy!

Oh there you are!

Tea's round in the back. I'll be right down.

Lilly?

Harvey?

Oh, I thought you were upstairs.

No, I was just having a look around.

I think I'm just gonna take a bath and go to bed.

You know what, I actually think that would do you a world of good.

Oh, who's the girl in the picture over there? -What?

What picture's this?

There's a little girl in the window.

I don't see anyone?

Oh.

I swore there was a little girl here.

It's probably just a reflection from the sunset playing tricks on your mind.

We don't have much food to eat at the moment.

But I'll go downstairs to the kitchen and find us something for later.

You don't understand anything at all.

You don't understand...

what I'm going through.

Here's the thing, what you're going through.

What about what we're going through?

Was it our daughter or was it just your daughter?

You want me to speak openly here?

This is what I'm telling you.

Because this is what I feel.

This is what I feel.

Our marriage is over almost.

It's like nothing.

Because your just, your just never there.

I try so hard.

This, this is you trying?

I'm here aren't I?

We're here?

Is this not good?

Is this not good that we're bringing this out?

It's a great attempt.

Attempt?

Sweetheart, did you hear me?

No, I'm not that hungry anyway.

You er, you taken your pills yet?

Your bag's in the bathroom.

Mr Johnson, the house looks fantastic.

Yeah, Yeah Harvey.

Apart from these bloody pipes.

Well erm, I could have my Timmy come around

but not for a day or two

That's fine. I'm about to put the kettle on.

Do you wanna grab a cuppa with us?

Ah you know I'd love to. No.

I've got some more work to do.

There's not much for food.

Maybe I could go into town if you like?

No don't trouble yourself, I'm going to be picking up our friends at the ferry tomorrow in the village so

we can grab something on the way back.

I see, I see.

OK... erm

how's your missus?

She's fine.

I'm hoping coming back to the area's gonna do her good.

You know we were all so, so sorry to hear about
