00:01There's something wrong with her.
00:02You need to take Betsy to the hospital.
00:03Jess.
00:04Jess has an A&E with Betsy.
00:06Oh, no.
00:06There's nothing serious, is it?
00:08She's got some swelling on the back of her head
00:09and see the partially depressed fracture just here.
00:12What happened between you two?
00:13You always used to be so close.
00:15People just drift apart, don't they?
00:16If the duty social worker could come as soon as possible,
00:18that would be really helpful.
00:20We'll call them this.
00:22The mechanism of the fall doesn't match the injuries.
00:24Could anyone have hurt Betsy?
00:27No.
00:29Jess hasn't told you.
00:30What are you talking about?
00:31We're looking for Edward Carrisford, anyone?
00:33Do you mind if we go inside for a chat?
00:58I was a bit surprised that you went ahead
01:00with the kids' birthday party today.
01:01Why?
01:02Why wouldn't I?
01:03Can you tell me what you're doing here?
01:04In these kinds of cases where a very young child
01:08is brought into hospital with an unexplained injury,
01:10the police and children's services investigate jointly.
01:13She was sick.
01:14She wasn't injured.
01:15You haven't spoken to your wife?
01:17Her phone must be able to be able to contact me.
01:19I was a little bit of a phone.
01:20I was a little bit surprised that you went ahead
01:21with the kids' birthday party today.
01:22Why?
01:23Why wouldn't I?
01:24Can you, um, can you tell me what you're doing here?
01:27In these kinds of cases where a very young child
01:30is brought into hospital with an unexplained injury,
01:32the police and children's services investigate jointly.
01:35Um, she was sick.
01:38She wasn't injured.
01:40You haven't spoken to your wife?
01:46Her phone must be out of battery.
01:53Betsy has a depressed fracture on the back of her skull.
01:58This kind of injury suggests significant physical force.
02:02Something out of the ordinary.
02:04This is a serious matter.
02:10Can this wait until after I've seen my daughter?
02:13I understand why you'd want to go, Mr. Carrisford.
02:15Betsy's receiving the best possible care.
02:17Surely you've spoken to my wife?
02:19Um, there must be some explanation.
02:22We don't have any answers, Mr. Carrisford.
02:23That's why we're here.
02:24I don't know what the hell is going on.
02:29I just want to see my baby.
02:31And you will.
02:32But first we need to take a look around.
02:34Betsy's room, all right?
02:35Is that necessary?
02:40All right.
02:46Get ready for some expensive lawyers.
02:48Yes.
02:49Yes.
02:50Yes.
03:03Yes.
03:04To be continued...
03:34To be continued...
04:04How did this happen? I am completely in the dark yet. I don't even know what to say to them.
04:10Jess, why didn't you tell me?
04:13Jess, speak to me!
04:16You should have called me!
04:19Jess!
04:20Ed, please not now.
04:22Salco's dispatched a unit.
04:41She took the sheets off.
04:43That was quick.
04:48Everything's perfect.
04:52A bit too perfect.
05:00Was it Billy domestic violence?
05:02Maybe.
05:02Straight to the hospital behind them. What are they saying?
05:05What are the doctors saying? Is she going to be alright? Is she okay?
05:09What is going on?
05:11Why were you hiding in Betsy's room?
05:14I came to get her things.
05:16That smell like comb.
05:19Sorry to interrupt.
05:20We're going to have our crime scene investigators come in and take some pictures in Betsy's room and the kitchen.
05:26Sorry, what crime exactly has been committed?
05:28We don't know, sir. That's what we're here to find out.
05:31Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.
05:33You're alright. Yeah, I...
05:34It's been a lot.
05:36We also need to establish a timeline for yesterday afternoon, so we'll be interviewing both of you.
05:41Separately.
05:41Yeah, sir, I don't...
05:59It's not a lot of...
06:00Lucy will talk to the boys.
06:10It's Christopher and Francis, yeah?
06:13Kit and Frankie.
06:14What? Today? Now?
06:17Please.
06:19I don't feel comfortable with that request.
06:22It's much better if we do this quickly and with your blessing.
06:24Mommy!
06:25Frank!
06:27Frankie, please.
06:29We were trying to stay out of your way, but Frankie saw you.
06:32Yeah, of course.
06:34Hi, how's your party, my love?
06:37Molly?
06:37Connor, come on. We're going.
06:39Where's Betsy?
06:41She's still in the hospital.
06:42Where's your dad?
06:43Oh, he went to go and get the car.
06:46Go.
06:46Go.
06:47I'm Lucy.
06:48I'm Lucy.
06:48I'm Lucy, okay?
06:49Okay.
06:50Okay.
06:53I'm Lucy.
06:54You're Kit, right?
06:58Do you guys want to come for a quick little chat?
07:01Yeah?
07:02Let's go.
07:03That's right. Come on.
07:04Frankie, did you build that?
07:15Kit did.
07:17Here?
07:18Do you like blocks?
07:20They're okay.
07:21Here?
07:22I'm sorry?
07:25Where Betsy hurt herself.
07:27Was that here?
07:27Uh, yeah.
07:28Or here?
07:30No, on the road.
07:33What does Betsy like to do?
07:34She calls a lot.
07:40Were you with Betsy and your mummy after school?
07:49Did you have a play date?
07:52Anyone visit?
07:52Kit?
07:58Stop being such a baby.
08:01Kit, come on.
08:02You're not being humble.
08:02Why are you telling me off?
08:03He's the one not answering the question.
08:05Oh, it's okay, Frankie.
08:06I know you must be tired after your party.
08:13So, Kit, what time did you get home?
08:17After football, Ben's mum dropped me off.
08:21And how were things when you got home, Kit?
08:23Dunno.
08:25Nothing.
08:26Usual stuff.
08:28And how was Betsy?
08:29Crying.
08:30She cries a lot in the evening.
08:32Mum calls it the witching hour.
08:34And so it was just you, your brother, your sister, and your mummy at home last night?
08:40Did you see Betsy fall?
08:42Look, I appreciate this could be a difficult situation.
08:54It's uncomfortable for a friend to make a social services referral.
08:57Provence?
08:58Provence?
08:59Yeah.
09:01Well, we're not as close as we used to be.
09:09We started in Provence.
09:11Provence?
09:13Shit show.
09:13I wish we'd never gone away last summer.
09:22We started to see a different side to each other.
09:26The sides we normally keep hidden.
09:29Our weaknesses.
09:30The dark.
09:31The...
09:31The ugly.
09:35Turns out we aren't all as forgiven as we thought.
09:37I just wanted to thank each of you for coming all the way to Provence to spend this week with Charlotte and myself.
10:01Do you know, it's been ten years since we met in that dingy little room for our first antenatal class.
10:06Liz, Mel, Jess.
10:10I can't think of stronger, more inspiring mothers, so thank you.
10:14Ed, Rob, and Nick.
10:17You're all far more handsome, far more charming, and in far better shape than myself.
10:21And in spite of this, we have forged a friendship that I value so very much, so thank you.
10:27Well, thanks for making me cry, Andrew.
10:29Yeah, that was so sweet, I might throw up.
10:31Here, here, darling.
10:32Here's to another ten years of friendship.
10:34Ten years.
10:35Ten years.
10:35Cheers.
10:36Ten years.
10:36Ten years.
10:37Cheers.
10:37Cheers.
10:38Cheers.
10:38Cheers.
10:39Cheers.
10:39I'm going to make a quick speech for you.
10:41No.
10:41Oh, no.
10:42Yeah.
10:42Ting-a-ling, ting-ting, ting-ting.
10:44Ting-ting-ting.
10:46Hi, sorry guys.
10:47I just wanted to make a little speech as well.
10:49I just wanted to say thank you on behalf of the rest of us to the Hinmans for, no, inviting
10:56us all out here and introducing us all to a level of luxury to which I don't think any
11:00of us have seen before and also for, obviously, coughing up the rental on this place, which
11:05must have cost a fucking shed load.
11:08But when the label, my label is up and running, okay, me and Mel, we want to invite you all
11:13backstage with all the trimmings to every major venue in Europe.
11:18And it is going to make this quaint little villa look like a garden shed in comparison.
11:24Cheers, man.
11:25Good luck with it all.
11:26Cheers.
11:27Cheers, all.
11:28Cheers.
11:29Cheers, Rob.
11:30Cheers.
11:35Can't believe we're finally here.
11:38I'm so ready for this.
11:42Somebody's on a mission.
11:44Mm-hmm.
11:47Can I have a nice lolly?
11:49In a second.
11:50There's a lady that needs a chocolate.
11:52We've got some big news of Rob's to celebrate, right?
11:55Yeah.
11:56You're not excited?
12:00I think I would be if it didn't feel like such a massive risk.
12:03You know, he's put all our savings into this new label and he didn't even tell me, so...
12:11Women preparing food.
12:13Men drinking beer by the pool.
12:14I didn't invite you all on holiday so we could revert to traditional gender stereotypes.
12:18Oh, well, I'm not very good at doing nothing, so...
12:21Oh, don't worry.
12:22Getting shit-faced is all I intend to do for the next seven days.
12:25Ah, shit!
12:26Sorry, I'm so sorry.
12:27Oh, I've got that all over your dress.
12:28That seems horrible you've got at the market.
12:29Okay, Sharla.
12:30Frankie, stay there, okay?
12:31You don't have shoes.
12:32Sharla, I'm so sorry.
12:33Maybe we could go back to the market and buy you a new one.
12:36No, no.
12:37You can't.
12:38It was vintage.
12:39What about my ice lolly?
12:40Please?
12:43Please?
12:45I guess.
12:46Look, I'm sorry, okay?
12:47It's just it is a pet peeve of mine when kids can't say please and thank you.
12:51I am on George all the time.
12:52Oh, we know.
12:53Constantly.
12:54Me, no.
12:59Well, not long until we can go on holiday, just the grown-ups.
13:02Mmm, then we don't have to mind our pees and queues, right?
13:05Yeah, we even want to go on holiday together again.
13:08Oh, come on.
13:09Of course we will.
13:10Of course we will.
13:11As long as you cheer the fuck up.
13:15I mean, you are killing a bit of a vibe there, Charles.
13:19Sorry.
13:21I am sorry, okay?
13:22It's just these hormones I'm on, mood swings.
13:25You're doing another round of IVF, I'm so sorry.
13:28I didn't realise.
13:29I didn't know.
13:30For my sins?
13:32Well, good for you.
13:35Hey.
13:38I really do hope it works out this time, okay?
13:41Thank you, Jess.
13:42How is it this time?
13:48It's exhausting.
13:50You know, you know when they say human pincushion and rollercoaster revolutions, it's exactly that.
13:56And for me to be in this position again and having to endure it with no guarantees, it's just, it's brutal and it's frustrating and infuriating and absolutely hating it.
14:05Ladies, avert your gaze. I know you're over here ogling us young bucks.
14:12Is that your bowl?
14:15That's a shame.
14:35I just lost a few things. So, yeah. Sorry. I'm so sorry. I, uh, let me help you.
14:56It's okay.
15:05So, walk me through your day yesterday.
15:08Uh, I dropped the boys off at school and, uh, Betsy and I were just at home until pick-up.
15:16Uh, Kit had football but, um, he was dropped back at home at 6.30 by his friend's mom.
15:23And after Kit came home, you were just here with the kids? Everything was normal?
15:28Yeah. Regular day.
15:30It's just, last night, your story was, was somewhat muddled.
15:37Well, I was exhausted and really worried about my baby.
15:43Okay. And you put her to bed as normal?
15:47Yes. Put her to bed around 7.30.
15:49She was irritable. But she's teething. Um, and the boys went down around 9 and I was pretty wiped out and went to bed too.
16:07People think that you can't feel alone if you have young children.
16:10But there's nothing lonelier than being at home with a screaming baby.
16:14Right.
16:16Walk me through your movements yesterday. Where were you?
16:22Movements?
16:24Uh, I was at work until 6 and then I went for some drinks.
16:28And got home 10-ish.
16:30I want to go back.
16:34Uh, can you wait? I wanted to come with you to the hospital.
16:37What about the boys?
16:39We can drop them at Mel's or Charlotte's maybe.
16:41I don't want to wait. She needs her milk.
16:45You go ahead. We'll be in touch.
16:47Breastfeeding. It's always been very important to her.
16:48Yeah. My wife and I have just had a baby. She's evangelical about it too.
17:00Right. Uh, congratulations, boy or girl?
17:03Oh, girl. 13 weeks.
17:05I get it, the breastfeeding thing, but it makes me feel a bit redundant.
17:10It's like that to begin with. Um, it's an adjustment.
17:14Yeah. Makes me wonder how long will I be banished to the spare room?
17:18I'm not sure it ever stops.
17:21So was it the way that Betsy was crying that first alarmed you?
17:25Yeah. Exactly. That's what scared me. The noise, it was wrong.
17:30There was no indication she was hurt? No visual sign of injury?
17:33Her? No. God, no. I just thought she was, I don't know, just teething or something.
17:39Right. And then?
17:40And then I noticed that she'd vomited, so I picked her up.
17:43Did you panic?
17:46Well, she was alone and it was obvious something was wrong.
17:49And your wife was?
17:51She wasn't there. She was in bed.
17:52Sleeping?
17:55Yes. She was exhausted. Betsy's not a good sleeper.
17:59Right.
18:00And is that normal? Usual? For Jess to ignore Betsy?
18:05No. Not at all. Jess is the one who always notices these things.
18:08She's the one that gets up in the night to comfort the kids.
18:11Others are fiercely protective of their children.
18:13Well, until they're not.
18:15Why didn't you drag Betsy to the hospital?
18:17Because we have two boys and I was over the limit.
18:31You're not welcome.
18:32You are welcome.
18:36You're welcome.
18:38Came back to the hospital.
18:41I'm at the hospital for years.
18:43I'm so excited to do this.
18:45You're welcome.
18:47I'm so excited at all.
18:49I'm so excited.
18:51Ask down to the hospital.
18:53I'm so excited.
18:55I'm so excited.
18:56Hey.
19:23Hey, sorry, I didn't want to ruin your nap.
19:26It's fine.
19:28Hardly slept.
19:29You must be shattered to go back to sleep.
19:32Back at hospital in four hours.
19:35What if I did the wrong thing, Nick?
19:38What if I was too quick to push a button?
19:41You were put in an impossible position.
19:45Yeah, but I basically just called in the cavalry
19:48and then left her on her own to defend herself.
19:52You couldn't win, no matter what you did.
19:54Hello? Mum?
20:07Mum, I can't understand what you're...
20:12Where are you?
20:15Where are you?
20:16She got shitfaced and fell over in the supermarket.
20:23Better go and get her.
20:25Yeah. Mum? Mum? I'm on my way.
20:29Yeah, stay there. Just stay there.
20:31I'm coming to get you.
20:32Okay.
20:33It was all such a shock.
20:42Naturally, Ed's out of his mind.
20:44Utter nonsense, the whole situation.
20:46I mean, Jess and Ed are wonderful parents.
20:49They always make me feel quite inadequate, to be honest.
20:51Jess has this charming way...
20:53Of never being irritated when the children are being particularly annoying.
20:56That's a bit harsh.
21:00I am disappointed with Liz, though.
21:02A bit dramatic to call social services on a friend.
21:04Well, everyone's very emotional about this,
21:06but the truth is nobody knows the facts.
21:08I've seen things that make me wonder.
21:12Just saying, there's a fine line between neglect and abuse.
21:16True, but Jess is the most attentive mother out of all of you.
21:19Excuse me? George and I are very close.
21:23No, of course you are. I didn't mean that at all.
21:25You're an amazing mum.
21:27All right, yes.
21:29When it comes to kitten Frankie, I can somewhat see your point.
21:32And I'm telling you, she's never really bonded with Betsy.
21:38Come on, Charlotte. You don't like Jess, and you're overprotective of that.
21:41What?
21:44I don't know. The authorities may know more than we do.
21:49What? I'm just framing this in legal terms.
21:51Oh, please. We both know legal terms failed to capture the entire spectrum of human existence.
21:59God, Andrew.
22:00There were police at the party. There were social workers.
22:04Yeah, I must be going through hell.
22:06That poor baby.
22:09Yeah.
22:11Poor Ed.
22:17Thank you, Mel, for having them. I have no idea how long we'll be at the hospital.
22:20Of course.
22:24Oh, come on. Come on, Frankie.
22:27Look, it's just for one night.
22:29No, I don't want her!
22:30Connor!
22:31Please. Look, you like Connor. It's just a sleepover. You'll have fun. I promise you.
22:34No, where's...
22:35I mean...
22:36Well, she's going to go see Betsy.
22:37Oh, I don't want to say it. Connor!
22:39Look, please, Frankie. Come here. We don't have a choice.
22:41Frankie, come on. You are going.
22:42No, I'm not going!
22:43Yes, you are!
22:44No!
22:45Frankie, come on!
22:46No!
22:47Come here!
22:48Frankie, look, we don't have a choice.
22:49No!
22:50Yes, you are going.
22:51No!
22:52No!
22:53No, don't do this!
23:18Ma'am.
23:20Ma'am, please.
23:21Can I just see her now? Just for a second. I won't pick her up. I promise you can come with me.
23:25Go home. Get some rest. Good night's sleep and things will look a lot brighter.
23:32I'm sure your other kids probably need their mum. Hmm?
23:40All right, honey. Come on. That's enough.
23:42We'll play.
23:48You too. That's enough.
23:50Someone at the school gave said he had a dad bod, so he's trying to do 50 lengths a day.
24:07Not a dad bod.
24:08All right, I told Frankie, no more screen time.
24:11All the others are on their devices.
24:13Look, if you need some chill time, let them know home.
24:16Yeah, they only get square eyes.
24:18Oh, come on, Jess. They've been non-stop all day.
24:21You sure you want to...
24:24Well...
24:25I was just saying maybe slow down.
24:28You were...
24:29You were hitting it pretty hard last night, so...
24:31That's great. Any lamb left?
24:33You're too late.
24:34Uh, no lamb. Plenty of chicken, though.
24:35No, I'm not messing with you into chicken, mate.
24:37Sorry, I didn't think you were hungry.
24:38Oh, my God! Get it all freezing!
24:40Why didn't you think I was hungry, yeah?
24:41Because you were swimming when everyone else...
24:43Oh, my God!
24:44Do you want to go for a dip?
24:45No, I don't want to go for a dip.
24:46I'll take it for a dip.
24:47No, Rob!
24:48Rob, please don't do it.
24:49Rob, come on.
24:50Rob, come on.
24:51Yeah, she needs to pull off.
24:53Don't do it, Rob.
24:54Don't do it, Rob.
24:55Don't do it, Rob.
24:56Come on!
24:57Please don't.
24:58Okay, I'm serious.
24:59Oh!
25:00Jesus Christ, Rob!
25:01Rob!
25:02Oh!
25:03Oh!
25:04Oh!
25:05Oh!
25:06Oh!
25:07Oh!
25:08Oh!
25:09Oh!
25:10Oh!
25:11Oh!
25:12Oh!
25:13Oh!
25:14Oh!
25:15Oh!
25:16Oh!
25:17Oh!
25:18Oh!
25:19Oh!
25:20Stop it.
25:21Don't encourage him.
25:22Oh!
25:23Oh!
25:24Oh!
25:25Oh!
25:26Rob, come on.
25:27That's not funny.
25:28It's not appropriate.
25:29Honestly.
25:30Jesus is fucking on it now.
25:34Cheers.
25:36You all right?
25:37Yes, I'm fine.
25:38You always have to take it too fucking far.
25:40Yeah, no.
25:41Nice to warm you up.
25:43Whiskey, Jess?
25:44I'm all right, thank you.
25:45Oh, Jesus Christ, woman.
25:46Do you not have any vices?
25:47She saves all her kinks for the bedroom.
25:49Okay.
25:50Stop.
25:51Enough.
25:52It's enough.
25:53That's what Ed says in the bedroom.
25:55All right, all right, all right.
25:56Okay, you guys stay put.
25:58Liz and I are going to prep some dessert.
26:01Oh!
26:02Oh!
26:03Oh!
26:04Yes, we are!
26:05I was on holiday.
26:06I'm not talking to you.
26:08You made that!
26:10Mm.
26:11Great.
26:12Oh, poor Mel.
26:13Rob's really not the easiest guy in the world, is he?
26:17No, he's not.
26:18But that's how he's always been with those two, isn't it?
26:21All fire, lust and fury.
26:23Mm.
26:24Charlotte's a bit sniffy.
26:26Yeah, Charlotte's Charlotte.
26:27Hey!
26:28No!
26:29Help me!
26:30Don't take it personally.
26:31Well, thanks, Andrea.
26:32I know.
26:33I mean, it is what it is.
26:34Yeah.
26:35I think she's always going to be a bit spiky when it comes to you.
26:38Mm.
26:39Well, she hasn't guessed yet.
26:41She's so clever and sharp.
26:43Guess what?
26:50Oh, my God!
26:51Oh, that's so wonderful!
26:53That's great!
26:54It's wonderful, is it?
26:55It is, isn't it?
26:56Yeah, yeah.
26:57Of course.
26:58Of course.
26:59Hey!
27:01I'm just dreading telling the others, especially with Charlotte's news.
27:04No, seriously.
27:05I told her not to say anything until we get back home.
27:08Mum's word.
27:09I didn't even mean to do that.
27:13I'm just...
27:19He is.
27:20Plates.
27:21Have you got plates?
27:22Seriously.
27:23No, seriously.
27:24You've got capital, right?
27:25And you are much more creative than you think.
27:27And you're a mate.
27:28That's a good partnership, I reckon.
27:30So, I don't know.
27:31Have a think.
27:32Sure.
27:33Listen, when it's ready, send it to me.
27:34The numbers are good, you know what I mean.
27:36This is a chocolate raspberry torte I baked earlier.
27:41Wow, that's amazing.
27:42Well, ladies and gentlemen, that is not the only thing that she's been baking.
27:47Ed.
27:48Oh, come on.
27:49What?
27:50Oh my God, congratulations!
27:51Wow!
27:52Oh my God, amazing!
27:53How lovely.
27:54Here's to number three.
27:55Number three.
27:56Cheers, you're a little tribe.
27:57A gaggle of Carrisford.
27:58Fibricite.
27:59You could create your own football streak.
28:00Woo!
28:01Yeah, maybe you'll vaccinate this one.
28:02Charlotte?
28:03Oh God, here we go.
28:04She's only kidding, guys.
28:05Actually, I'm not.
28:06It's a free world, Charlotte.
28:07Everyone has the right to choose what's best for their own children.
28:10Yeah, totally.
28:11And also, it's not like anyone actually dies of measles anymore.
28:14They do, actually.
28:15Well, not really.
28:16We've had an increase in cases lately.
28:17Not on my watch.
28:18Even so, we're talking about one or two a year.
28:20And there's been an outbreak in whooping cough, so all your kids should be vaccinated against that.
28:33I mean, if a baby under three months gets that, that could be really serious.
28:37Would anybody like a top-up?
28:39Statistically, it's likely low, right?
28:41Yeah, you know why that is, Ed?
28:43It's because the rest of us vaccinate our children.
28:45Yeah, but if the rest of us have, don't we have...
28:47Oh my God, what's the thing called?
28:49I think you're talking about herd immunity.
28:51Lovely talk, Jess.
28:52Wait, wait, wait.
28:53What about the vulnerable kids?
28:55Because we've got kids at our school who are very susceptible.
28:58Okay, look.
28:59There's nothing any of you can say that would convince me to pump chemicals into my children.
29:04All right.
29:05But the risk of a serious infection, that's fine, is it?
29:08Come on.
29:09You are living in a bubble of privilege.
29:11Shame on you for not trusting the NHS.
29:13Hey, Liz.
29:14For fuck's sake.
29:15It's a ridiculous thing to say.
29:16Is it?
29:17Why?
29:18What?
29:19Well, you don't, do you?
29:20You always go private.
29:22Liz.
29:23I'm just saying.
29:24It's my job to protect my children, all right?
29:26And I take that very seriously.
29:28Well.
29:32Liz wasn't used to dinner parties where the wine flowed that freely.
29:36She can be good fun when she's drunk, but she doesn't know when to stop.
29:40And that night, things went too far.
29:44Oh, no.
29:45No, no, no.
29:46No more.
29:47I've got to wrangle the little beasts.
29:49What?
29:50It's early.
29:51Come on.
29:52They're on holiday.
29:53Let them play.
29:54I'll put them to bed later for you.
29:56Oh, God.
29:57And listen, I'm sorry about that, yeah.
29:59Got a little heated.
30:00Don't worry.
30:02I'm happy for you.
30:04Really happy for you guys.
30:06Gonna be a daddy again.
30:08Oh, go on then.
30:12Go and find your gorgeous wife.
30:15Yeah.
30:29Wow.
30:38Knock, knock.
30:39Hello.
30:40How are you getting on in here?
30:41Oh, my goodness.
30:42I love you.
30:43I think it's time for bed.
30:44Come on.
30:45It's been a long day, hasn't it, eh?
30:46We're all hot and tired.
30:47Come on, then.
30:48Come on.
30:49Please.
30:50One more.
30:51All right, then.
30:52Just one.
30:53And then it's straight to bed.
30:54Isn't that a deal?
30:55Yeah.
30:56Should I shut the door?
30:57Yes.
30:59Bye.
31:00All right, then.
31:01Just one.
31:02And then it's straight to bed.
31:03Is that a deal?
31:04Yeah.
31:05Should I shut the door?
31:06Yes.
31:08Bye.
31:28This might get triple.
31:29Are you sure Andrew would mind?
31:30He wouldn't have bought it unless he wanted us to drink it, would he?
31:32Ah, yeah, but that's his whisky, Rob.
31:34Oh, well.
31:35He's sitting the gun to bed so early then, should he, the boring git.
31:37Honestly, these people, got all the money in the world, and yet, they're all so fucking miserable!
31:50Cheers.
31:51I mean, why'd you even rent a place like this?
31:52It's fucking obscene!
31:53Yeah.
31:54Do you think you could maybe give it a rest now?
31:55Yeah.
31:56Give it a rest.
31:57Yeah.
31:58Give it a rest.
31:59Yeah.
32:00Pestering Ed for money.
32:01Pestering him?
32:02I mean.
32:03I'm not, I'm just, look, I've been waiting ages for this and now I'm starting out on my own.
32:13I just need him to-
32:14Oh, wow.
32:15Oh my god, I'm sorry.
32:16I'm sorry.
32:17I'm sorry.
32:18I'm sorry.
32:19It's okay.
32:20It's just, you know, these are our friends.
32:21It's-
32:22Wow.
32:23They're our friends and it's a bit embarrassing.
32:24Oh my god.
32:25Oh my god.
32:26You're smoking.
32:27Oh yeah.
32:28Mustard.
32:29Got it from Rob, obviously.
32:30That's disgusting.
32:31Come here.
32:32Let me try.
32:33I'm sorry.
32:34I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
32:35I'm sorry, but I'm sorry.
32:36I'm sorry.
32:37I'm sorry.
32:38I'm sorry, No, I'm sorry.
32:39I'm sorry.
32:40It's okay.
32:41It's okay.
32:42It's just, you know, these are our friends.
32:44It's, it's...
32:45Wow.
32:46They're our friends and it's...
32:47It's a bit embarrassing.
32:48Oh my god.
32:49You're smoking.
32:50Oh yeah.
32:51Mustard.
32:52Got it from Rob, obviously.
32:54It's disgusting.
32:55Come here.
32:56Let me try.
32:57Oh yeah.
32:58Wow. You know, I always thought I'd be an exceptional stoner.
33:09Well, you are exceptional at everything.
33:12I'm a hard worker. There's a difference.
33:17First at Oxford, straight into one of London's leading law firms and then made partner at 35.
33:27Mm-hmm. Two rounds of IVF, a miscarriage, a body that refuses to follow its natural nurturing instincts and instead provides a radically hostile environment for vulnerable life forms.
33:40Oh, God. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Of course. I'm an idiot. I knew you'd been trying for a while.
33:46You know what? It's fine. Really, it's okay. I just said I would try one last time.
33:56For Andrew. Oh, God. He wouldn't make you do anything you wouldn't want to.
34:01Oh. God, no. Of course not.
34:05Oh, Andrew's a good man.
34:08Yeah. He is a good man.
34:15He deserves better.
34:21Well...
34:24So...
34:29No, I mean...
34:34I feel guilty that I don't...
34:37I don't love him the way he wants to be loved.
34:43Sure, I... I am sure that that is not true.
34:47What about you?
34:59Hmm?
35:00On number three?
35:01Yeah.
35:02Are you excited?
35:04Yeah.
35:05Yeah.
35:06Totally.
35:07I mean...
35:08We both are.
35:09Of course.
35:14There's just this...
35:15This...
35:16This...
35:17Tiny part of me...
35:20That hopes it won't ruin what we already have.
35:25Does that make sense?
35:27Oh, boys.
35:55Frankie?
35:57Sam?
35:58Sammy?
36:07Frankie!
36:09Frankie!
36:10Frankie!
36:11Frankie!
36:12Sam!
36:15I'm going to check the film.
36:16You said you're going to the bed.
36:17Yes, I'm sorry.
36:18All right?
36:19It's okay.
36:20Look, I'm going to call the owners now and see if they can let us...
36:22Frankie!
36:23Frankie!
36:24Come on, Sam!
36:28There's two of our children.
36:30They've gone missing.
36:31We think they must be lost.
36:32Tell them.
36:33Tell them they're not strong swimmers.
36:34I know.
36:35I know.
36:36I know.
36:37Um...
36:38Sam!
36:39It's pitch black out here.
36:40They're only seven years old, so they're going to be frightened as anything.
36:41We need to have the members of all the neighbors in the area.
36:43Frankie and Sam, they wandered off.
36:46What do you mean they wandered off?
36:48Ed said you put them to bed.
36:49Well, I fell asleep and they were in the den and now they...
36:51Fell asleep?
36:52What are you talking about, Liz?
36:53Frankie can't swim.
36:54What if he fell into a pool?
36:55They're going to be fine.
36:56You need to keep calm.
36:57They're not going to be fine.
36:58Where's Ed?
36:59We went that way.
37:00They're checking the line.
37:01Jess, we're going to find them.
37:02It's okay.
37:03Frankie!
37:04Ed!
37:07Ed!
37:08Frank!
37:09Look, here, there might be somebody calling me.
37:11I'm going to hang my first.
37:13It's okay.
37:14Don't worry.
37:15Hello?
37:17Frankie!
37:18Jess!
37:19Frankie!
37:22Where's Ed?
37:23He went left at the top of the gate.
37:24Sam!
37:26Come on, guys.
37:27It's all right.
37:29Sam!
37:31Let me cross.
37:32Just come out.
37:35Sam!
37:37Frankie!
37:38Sammy!
37:40Frankie!
37:41Go ahead!
37:46Got them!
37:49Frankie!
37:50Here he is.
37:51Sam!
37:52There he is.
37:53He's fine.
37:54He's fine.
37:55There you go.
37:56Oh, Sam!
37:59Oh, Sam!
38:01You're okay.
38:02He's okay.
38:03He's okay.
38:04Come here, you silly sausage.
38:06You're okay.
38:07You scared me.
38:09Don't do that again, okay?
38:11Okay.
38:13You're all right.
38:14Everyone was on the verge of exploding that night.
38:31It was like there was something in the air.
38:35Tensions were sky high.
38:37God help you if you're ever the one to put Jess's kids in danger.
38:42My mouth feels like I've got a dead dog in it.
38:44I didn't sleep at all.
38:45Yeah.
38:46I didn't sleep at all.
38:47Yeah, it's called a hangover.
38:48Mm-hmm.
38:49You okay?
38:50I don't sleep at all.
38:51Yeah, it's called a hangover.
38:52You okay?
38:53I don't sleep at all.
38:54Yeah, it's called a hangover.
38:55You okay?
38:56You know last night with the kids?
38:57I don't sleep at all.
39:10I don't sleep at all.
39:11I don't sleep at all.
39:12Yeah, it's called a hangover.
39:14You okay?
39:16Okay.
39:20You know last night with the kids?
39:26You were drinking.
39:29We were all drinking.
39:34But you were drunk.
39:36And you know, Frankie and Sam,
39:39they could have gotten seriously hurt
39:40and they could have fallen into that pool.
39:43They didn't.
39:44But you were meant to look after them.
39:50Okay.
39:53Is this, are you?
39:54I can't believe you'd think I'm strapping.
40:09What if I don't want to drop it?
40:14I'm just saying, Liz, maybe, maybe take a minute.
40:17From what?
40:19Jess, I fell asleep.
40:20The boys are fine.
40:21I honestly don't know why you're making such a good thing
40:23and just having a job.
40:24I know.
40:24It was more important to get wasted
40:26than look after my children.
40:27I get it.
40:28Um, you know what, Jess?
40:37This is, this is actually the first holiday that I've had in years.
40:44You know, I do 60-hour weeks.
40:45I am constantly tired.
40:47I've never had enough sleep or spent enough time with my kids
40:50or, God forbid, done something for myself, like go to the gym.
40:52And my house, it's always a mess.
40:54But there's nothing I can do about that.
40:55Nothing.
40:56Because my family are relying on my income to pay the mortgage.
40:59I know.
40:59We all need to relax, Liz.
41:02I'm just saying, maybe it's time to take a break from the alcohol.
41:06This is my break.
41:07Jess, now this is it.
41:09It's happening.
41:09Next week, I'm going to be back at work
41:10and I won't even have time to breathe.
41:12So please, please, for the love of God, will you just let me?
41:16Let me be sloppy.
41:17Let me be lazy and drunk.
41:18Yeah, just for one short week, please, without all the comments.
41:24You're acting just like your mom.
41:31Fuck off.
41:35Okay.
41:36Look, Liz, you can do what you want,
41:38but just don't do it around my children, okay?
41:39Okay, yeah.
41:41Yeah.
41:41No, I shouldn't be juggling a career and parenting around the car.
41:45Oh, dear, what a terrible example I am for your kids.
41:48Sorry, Jess.
41:49Sorry I've been busy saving lives
41:50while you've been filling bento boxes with homemade vegan sushi.
41:53That's not what I'm saying.
41:54Yes, it is.
41:55Jess, it is.
41:56No, you, you have the kind of perfect, privileged life
41:59that 99% of women will never, ever have.
42:02Okay.
42:04Yeah, my life's not perfect.
42:05No.
42:06No, but you are, aren't you?
42:09And you make it very clear that the rest of us,
42:11I will never compare.
42:15Come on, guys, hurry up.
42:17Please, please.
42:18I knew Jess would never trust me again.
42:29We hardly saw each other after that holiday.
42:32I rarely do school pickup, but when I did,
42:34we'd be, like, opposite ends of the playground,
42:36and then after she had Betsy, it was, like,
42:41it was like we'd never been friends.
42:45And then that night she came into A&E and I,
42:48I had to ask myself, was she capable of hurting her own child
42:52or was she protecting someone else?
42:55Because she clearly knew more than she was telling me.
42:58She's like, I was walking away.
42:59She's like, she can't be a little girl.
43:00She's like, she's not doing any good.
43:04No.
43:05Just like, she's like the other, she's like the other.
43:06And then that night I raised her around with so much,
43:08she's like, she's like, she's a little girl.
43:10She's like, sorry.
43:11She's like six years, you're like, she's a little girl.
43:12I'm not.
43:13She's like the other, she's like the other, she's got it.
43:14And then I didn't need to be a little girl.
43:16I'm going to wait for her to stay.
43:17Come on.
43:18Come on.
43:19Come on.
43:20Come on.
43:21Come on.
43:22Come on.
43:23Come on.
43:24Come on.
43:25Come on.
43:26Come on.
43:27Come on.
43:28Come on.
43:29Liz.
43:30Yes.
43:31Look, I've been reflecting, and I think...
43:34I think I was a bit, um, a bit hasty starting all the child protection procedures.
43:39I'm afraid that horse has bolted as well you know.
43:42No, I just assumed that once you'd spoken to the parents and, you know, established what happened, then there'd be no reason for further intervention.
43:50But we haven't established what happened.
43:52The mother was vague and the father was clueless.
43:54Look, Jess just doesn't trust me enough to tell me.
43:56So, no, honestly, this is absolutely not necessary, because those children are safe and then loved.
44:02Dr Burgess, we know that you have a personal relationship with the family, but you made this call based on what you saw.
44:07Yeah, but everything's moving so fast.
44:09Please, believe me when I say this has to have been an accident. It just has to.
44:14Thank you, Elizabeth.
44:15Right, now for obvious reasons, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
44:33I'm convinced this isn't an accidental injury.
44:36Hmm.
44:37We weren't able to interview either of the boys on their own without dad in the room.
44:40And an interview with the younger son was troubling.
44:43He was extremely distressed.
44:46I'd say there's some undiagnosed behavioural issues.
44:48You okay? What's going on?
44:49Why won't they let me see Betsy?
44:50Take a seat, Mr Carrisford.
44:51I haven't seen Betsy since yesterday.
44:52You both need to sign this first, before you can see her.
44:56Thank you, Mr Carrisford.
44:57You both need to sign this first, before you can see her.
45:12Take a seat, Mr. Carrisford.
45:13I haven't seen Betty since yesterday.
45:17You both need to sign this first, before you can see her.
45:24You'll be agreeing that while the investigation takes place,
45:27you will not be alone with any of your children.
45:31Any of our children?
45:35No, that's not gonna happen.
45:36This is for the safety of your children.
45:39You've been to our home, you've talked to my family.
45:41We don't need social services.
45:46We're a decent family.
45:48Unfortunately, Mr. Carrisford,
45:50child neglect and abuse don't discriminate based on wealth.
45:53This is so weird, Chad.
45:56Can I see your manager or director?
45:59You can if you like, but I doubt she'll be able to help you.
46:02The law states that when a child is at risk of harm,
46:04children's services, that's me, must take steps to protect them.
46:09How long has this gone for?
46:11Until we know exactly what happened last night.
46:14Can we just slow down a minute?
46:15I'm sure there's a perfectly innocent explanation for how Betsy got hurt, right?
46:20She fell.
46:21She fell.
46:22She fell.
46:23I told you that.
46:24She fell.
46:25Please sign.
46:26Things will go more smoothly if you comply.
46:29I'm not signing for your children.
46:31Then we'll have to place your children into foster care.
46:35You can't do that.
46:37You can't do that!
46:39You can't take our children!
46:42You can't!
46:43You can't do that!
46:45You can't take our children!
