00:00I always thought that Jess was the perfect mother.
00:10I forgot that perfection is an illusion.
00:15Something created, filtered and tweaked.
00:20And then something happens, some tiny mishap,
00:25some little disaster that at first seems trivial.
00:31And the illusion starts to crumble.
00:34And suddenly you look at this perfect mother and you ask yourself,
00:43where else does she hide it?
00:46Sorry, I'm sorry.
00:55I'll call you as soon as you've been seen.
01:07Go!
01:16Hello, how are you from?
01:23I'm hungry.
01:25I have some muchแ 뻔 down there.
01:30This is very tough…
01:33It's fantastic.
01:38It's tragic!
01:40Hey!
01:41I love you, too.
01:42It's tragic!
01:43I love you, too.
01:44But?
01:45She's bleeding and there's nothing I can do.
01:52Can someone help me please?
02:15She's bleeding and there's nothing I can do.
02:45She's bleeding and there's nothing I can do.
03:04We see lots of cases like this.
03:06A couple of days of intravenous antibiotics, maybe another course at home. He's going to be fine.
03:11Thanks.
03:12You are needed in A&E.
03:14Little girl, ten months old, subdued, immobile, vomiting but no fever.
03:20She's in cubicle five with mum.
03:22Cubicle five?
03:23Yeah.
03:24You just have to prove to me.
03:25You know what's worse than a screaming baby? It's A&E on a Friday night. No one wants to be there. Especially the doctors.
03:33That's all right sweetheart. Come back to you.
03:35I'm sorry.
03:36I'm sorry.
03:37I'm sorry.
03:38I'm sorry.
03:39I'm sorry.
03:40I'm sorry.
03:41I'm sorry.
03:42I'm sorry.
03:43I'm sorry.
03:44I'm sorry.
03:46Jess.
03:49Hi.
03:51Hello.
03:53Um, well, I'd say it was good to see you but, obviously,
03:58Yeah.
04:00Liz, um, do you think we could see another doctor?
04:03Do you, you know, we know each other so, you know.
04:08Um, I'm afraid there isn't one free right now.
04:10Do you want me to carry on?
04:12Of course.
04:13Of course.
04:13I didn't mean to offend you.
04:17Hello, Betsy.
04:20Tell me what's wrong.
04:22I don't know.
04:23I was asleep and Ed Wokeme said she'd been sick.
04:27It's probably nothing.
04:28Some sort of virus.
04:29I shouldn't have brought her in, but he insisted.
04:33How long has she been like this?
04:35Uh, I suppose she was a bit grisly at bedtime.
04:42And, um, when was she sick?
04:47Approximately.
04:50I don't know.
04:52Well, it's okay.
04:54It's a nightmare keeping up with me at this age.
04:56I am going to just call a colleague in
04:58while I do a physical examination of Betsy.
05:01It's standard procedure to just have someone else present, okay?
05:05Dr. Morris.
05:09You've got a second for a little exam.
05:11Yeah.
05:12Shh.
05:13You okay, honey?
05:20Okay.
05:21This is, uh, Dr. Morris.
05:23This is Mrs. Carrisford.
05:24And this is Betsy.
05:26Hey, what's this?
05:28What's this?
05:29Oh.
05:39Okay.
05:41This bit might tickle.
05:42I've got a boggy swelling now.
06:05What?
06:07What's your bumper head?
06:08Jess, could Betsy have had some kind of accident?
06:16No.
06:17No.
06:19She's got some swelling on the back of her head.
06:22Maybe some bruising.
06:26Um, actually, yeah, she did...
06:28She did bang her head earlier.
06:30I just didn't think it was serious.
06:33How?
06:33She slept and banged it.
06:39What time was this?
06:43Like 5, 5.30 maybe.
06:47And, um, where was she when this happened?
06:51She was crawling in the living room.
06:53I...
06:53I think she must have, uh, you know, pulled herself up.
06:57I don't know.
07:00I was in the kitchen at the time getting a snack for Frankie.
07:03I was gone for a second.
07:09Okay, I can take it from here.
07:11Thanks, Rona.
07:12Can we get you warm?
07:14Can we keep you warm?
07:19It's okay.
07:21Accidents happen, right?
07:22Tell me again.
07:25You were in the kitchen, and Betsy was in the living room, and then...
07:29I mean, I can't watch them every second, you know?
07:33I...
07:34I heard a thud, but I didn't think she'd hurt herself.
07:39Is it bad?
07:42It's the middle of the night.
07:57I expect to be woken up by my junior doctors,
07:59but I had hope for a little...
08:01restraint from you, Dr. Burgess.
08:04Yeah, sorry to bother you.
08:06Just give me the detail.
08:07Ten-month-old.
08:09Suspected skull fracture.
08:10Significant bruising.
08:11There's a wind bleeding.
08:13No.
08:14Child responsive, but reduced activity compared to normal.
08:17How did it happen?
08:20Mum said she slipped to our crawling,
08:22trying to pull herself up.
08:24Crawling on what?
08:25A cliff?
08:26The parents came in immediately, I hope.
08:29No.
08:30Um...
08:30Happened around 5.30.
08:33Mum came to A&E about 10.15.
08:35It's left nearly five hours.
08:38I know.
08:40Um...
08:41I'm just waiting on the CT scan,
08:43but if it is a fracture...
08:45Then she didn't slip crawling.
08:50It's just that Mum's a friend of mine.
08:53Oh, well, then that makes things a lot more difficult.
08:59But as senior registrar, I'm afraid you're the only one
09:02that can make the decision, Elizabeth.
09:04We'll discuss it at handover.
09:06Um, okay.
09:10Yeah, Jess isn't a great believer in modern medicine.
09:13She's, uh...
09:15The last person you'd expect to see in A&E with her kids.
09:21But that night, she was...
09:24She was nothing like the Jess I met 11 years ago.
09:27Yeah.
09:38Yeah.
09:38Yeah, you've got to do a bit of a crochet.
09:40Hello.
09:41Hi.
09:41Hi.
09:42I'm so sorry.
09:43My husband's running behind.
09:45Oh, don't worry.
09:45Should we wait for him?
09:46Oh, no, no.
09:47It's fine.
09:48I don't want to hold everybody up.
09:49So, let's start by introducing ourselves
09:52and explaining what we'd like to get out of this course.
09:55Well, a baby, ideally.
09:57Um...
09:58Yeah, I'm Jess.
10:02And I'm here because
10:04I want to be the best mom that I can be.
10:09And I want to learn how to be
10:12a better parent than my own.
10:14And, uh, yeah, I just want my little boy to know
10:18that he's the absolute center of my world.
10:20It's so nice.
10:21It's lovely, yeah.
10:22Okay.
10:24Thanks.
10:25I'm Liz.
10:27Yeah, I suppose I feel the same.
10:30I...
10:31Um...
10:33Yeah, I just want to leave here
10:35feeling confident that I can be, you know, that sort of mother.
10:39Um, yeah.
10:47Hello.
10:49Hello.
10:50Um, hi.
10:53This is really embarrassing.
10:55I'm...
10:56I'm stuck on the loo.
10:59Is this Liz?
11:00Jess?
11:01Yeah.
11:03Oh, I can't...
11:04I just can't get myself back up.
11:07They're so small and low.
11:09Oh, I'm sorry.
11:11I don't know why I'm laughing.
11:11Do you need a hand?
11:12Um, yeah.
11:14Yeah?
11:14Like, if I unlock the door,
11:15would it be too weird for you to pull me up?
11:18No, of course not.
11:20Of course not.
11:22Hi.
11:24I'm so sorry.
11:27Come on.
11:29Oh, thank God.
11:33You all right?
11:33Yes.
11:35That is, um...
11:37That's properly mortifying.
11:40And to top it all off,
11:41I needed a wee through the entire thing.
11:43I know.
11:44People kept asking questions.
11:46Yeah, and I didn't want to miss anything important.
11:48So true.
11:49I don't really have any friends nearby that have babies.
11:53My family's, like, 3,000 miles away, so...
11:55Oh, wow.
11:57If there's any consolation,
11:59my mum lives around the corner
12:00and she is no sodding news.
12:04Well, that's it, then.
12:08What's it?
12:09You and I are going to be friends after this.
12:13OK.
12:14Well, then, I'm down for that.
12:16OK.
12:18Oh, what?
12:26Oh, I'm admitting the baby from A&E into ICU,
12:29so we need to prep for arrival, please.
12:31Mm-hmm.
12:31The baby's less interactive than normal.
12:34She's vomited once.
12:34Ronan's going to do some blood, so...
12:36And I've already ordered a CT scan.
12:39Head injury?
12:40Yeah.
12:40Significant bruising.
12:41Could be a fracture.
12:42Poor kid.
12:44Jess, the mum,
12:46said she did it whilst crawling,
12:47like she tried to pull herself up and fell.
12:51That doesn't add up.
12:54Oh, God, I hate these cases.
12:57Social services are going to be all over it.
13:00What is it?
13:01She's a really close friend of mine.
13:06Oh.
13:07Yeah.
13:08Look, we've been on holiday together and everything.
13:10We've been through two pregnancies.
13:11Our kids are in the same class.
13:14She's the perfect mum.
13:16Look, you are not her friend right now.
13:18Hmm?
13:19You're that baby's doctor.
13:29OK, let's get her upstairs, shall we?
13:31Where's mum?
13:32Come on.
13:37Come on.
13:39Come on.
13:40Come on.
13:40How's Bethany?
13:41Have you been seen?
13:42Well, she's had an initial assessment.
13:49And what have they said?
13:50Not much.
13:51It's chaos here.
13:52I'm not surprised.
13:53Any idea what's wrong with her?
13:54No.
13:55Not yet.
13:56The hospital didn't go into details.
13:57I don't know.
13:58I've got to go.
13:59I've got to go.
14:00I've got to go.
14:01I've got to go.
14:02I've got to go.
14:03I've got to go.
14:04I've got to go.
14:05I've got to go.
14:06I've got to go.
14:07I've got to go.
14:08I've got to go.
14:09I've got to go.
14:10I've got to go.
14:11I've got to go.
14:12I've got to go.
14:13I've got to go.
14:14Okay, so we're going to take her for a CT scan now, and then we're going to pop her
14:23up on the ward.
14:24You're ready?
14:25Okay.
14:26Okay.
14:27Okay.
14:28Mom is here.
14:29I'm going to be fine.
14:32Yeah, I'm sorry.
14:34The whole night I had like this lump in my throat right here.
14:44I couldn't shift.
14:46I couldn't swallow it.
14:48I started to think the worst.
14:51Is it definitely a fracture?
14:56Yeah.
14:57And a significant one.
15:00See, instead of the nice curved white line of the skull, you can see the partially depressed
15:07fracture just here.
15:09And a subdural hematoma.
15:12Yeah.
15:13I see it.
15:17This was textbook.
15:19In any other case, I would say someone had hurt this baby.
15:23Parents can do some terrible things in moments of frustration.
15:28So, I asked myself, is it completely inconceivable that that's what's happened here?
15:53Jess.
15:54Oh, how is she?
15:59I'm afraid the scan has confirmed that Betsy does have a skull fracture.
16:03And a bleed.
16:04Oh, my God.
16:07What?
16:08Oh, my God.
16:11So, we're going to need to keep Betsy in under observation and try and keep her completely
16:15still.
16:16And the next 48 hours are critical.
16:19Critical.
16:20Yeah.
16:21Betsy's got a bruise and it's pressing on her brain.
16:25So, we really need to try and get that swelling down just to prevent any more damage.
16:30Oh.
16:31Baby.
16:32Oh.
16:33Jess, we need to talk about how this might have happened.
16:38No, it's unlikely that a head injury like this was sustained from a simple fall.
16:44I mean, toddlers fall all the time.
16:47Are you sure there's nothing else that happened?
16:51Maybe she fell down the stairs or rolled off her bed.
16:54These things happen, Jess.
16:55You remember when Rosa slipped in the bath and got a concussion?
17:00I felt like the worst mum in the world, but...
17:03Is there anything, anything at all that you need to say to me?
17:08I won't judge.
17:11Please, you can tell me anything.
17:13If you can think of something that might help, this is your last chance.
17:17Jess.
17:22Jess.
17:28Could anyone have hurt Betsy?
17:34No.
17:41My sweetie.
17:52How's your heart?
17:56His body.
17:57My eyes.
17:58I'm sorry.
17:59Yeah.
18:00I'm sorry.
18:01I'm sorry.
18:02No, I'm sorry.
18:03I'm sorry.
18:04No, I'm sorry.
18:17No, I'm sorry.
18:18Yeah, hi. This is Dr. Burgess from the paediatric department at Thames Bank Hospital.
18:38We've had a little girl come in with a fractured skull and no real explanation of how it happened.
18:44If the duty social worker could come as soon as possible, that'd be really helpful, thanks.
18:55She didn't have to make the call. She had to make the call.
19:14Jess, Jess, don't wake up. There's something wrong with her. You need to take Betsy to the hospital.
19:32What happened?
19:33Didn't you hear her cry?
19:36Hey, get up!
19:39I don't know what's going on.
19:41I'll take her, but I'm over the limit.
20:00What are you doing? Are you brushing your hair?
20:06This is serious! Come on!
20:08This is serious, eh?
20:10Dad, I'm starving.
20:41What do you want for breakfast? Eggs, toast?
20:43Where's Betsy and Mummy?
20:45All right, let's do scrambled eggs then.
20:48Frankie doesn't eat scrambled eggs.
20:49He only eats boiled eggs.
20:51And they have to be exactly right or they make him feel sick.
20:55Where are they?
20:56Where's Mummy?
20:58Betsy was poorly, so Mummy took her to the hospital
21:01so the doctors could make her feel better, all right?
21:06Hey, hey, hey, hey.
21:07It's all right. Don't worry, Tim.
21:09Hey, she's going to be fine.
21:13She'll be fine.
21:18But, Dad, they'll be back for my party, right?
21:27Yeah.
21:29Can I have this, please?
21:35You guys have done?
21:37Yep.
21:37Thank you very much.
21:41Hi, Molly.
21:43Oh, fuck it.
21:50Take care.
21:50Have you been all night?
21:57Out.
21:58Working.
22:00I'm trying to fucking sign someone.
22:03No call.
22:04No text.
22:05Oh, my God.
22:07Look, I can't win, can I?
22:09Because if I texted you at 2am,
22:11you'd be pissed off at me for waking you up, so...
22:13Don't make this about me, Rob.
22:19Is anyone going to get that?
22:25I've been calling her 15 minutes.
22:28See, these guys are up to you.
22:30Hi, guys.
22:31Look who I found on the doorstep.
22:32Oh, shouldn't I take my shoes off?
22:34No, no, no, you're fine.
22:35Don't worry about it.
22:35Did you ever answer your phone?
22:37Come on, you ready?
22:38Ready for what?
22:39Ed called.
22:39He needs help setting up.
22:41You are the creative,
22:42and you know I am dreadful at kids' parties.
22:44No, you're not.
22:44You're just too busy doing a big girl's job.
22:46Why would they need our help?
22:47Jess has been planning this party for literally months.
22:49Well, you know what the NHS is like.
22:51Betsy probably hasn't even been seen yet.
22:53What do you mean?
22:56Jess is in A&E with Betsy.
22:58Oh, no.
22:59There's nothing serious, is there?
23:01Honestly, don't know.
23:03I'm quite surprised, to be honest with you.
23:05You know, Jess,
23:06usually it's all elderberry syrup.
23:08They're not cancelling the party.
23:12Well, would you like to be the one
23:13to tell an eight-year-old
23:14who may or may not be on the spectrum
23:16that his party's cancelled?
23:20What a clusterfuck.
23:25What about your birthing plan?
23:27Oh, I would like not to die.
23:32Fair.
23:33Yeah, and I'd like baby not to die.
23:34Obviously, that would be most important.
23:36And then I'd like just painkillers,
23:40all of the painkillers.
23:41Oh, all the drugs.
23:42Absolutely.
23:43Well, due to my work schedule,
23:44I will be, well, I've planned an induction
23:46several days before my due date.
23:49I will be birthing George
23:51in the Macpherson wing at Brooke General.
23:53Well, it's really popular with the royals.
23:56Yes.
23:57And who would you like to be present?
24:01Um, I suppose Andrew will be there.
24:05Andrew will.
24:05Yes.
24:06Well done, Andrew.
24:08And, I mean, ideally,
24:10I really would like to get back to work
24:11sort of three to six months afterwards.
24:14I'm a partner at a major law firm, so.
24:18Wow.
24:19So, that's me.
24:20Uh, thanks.
24:22Um, I, I don't have a birth plan.
24:25Sorry, I didn't.
24:26Oh, it's okay.
24:27Um, or much of a clue.
24:30Do you know what?
24:30Actually, this wasn't planned,
24:32so we are just winging it.
24:34Yeah.
24:35Sorry.
24:36Sorry.
24:36Hello, darling.
24:38Hi.
24:39Hello.
24:40Hello, everyone.
24:41Sorry, I'm late.
24:41Just right behind.
24:42Hey.
24:42I was off.
24:43Um, what a miss.
24:46Webber?
24:47Hi.
24:47Charlotte Webber?
24:48Yes.
24:49Oh, what a coincidence.
24:50I know.
24:51Uh, sorry.
24:52Actually, it's, it's Hinman now,
24:53obviously.
24:54Um, yeah.
24:55Right.
24:55Um, Charlotte and I went to uni together.
24:58Oh, wow.
24:59That's crazy.
25:00Sorry, and you are?
25:00Sorry, Ed.
25:01The, uh, Jess' lesser half.
25:03Ed Hyatt.
25:04Hello.
25:04And, Jess,
25:05why don't you tell us about your birthing plan?
25:09Uh, well, I think we'd like a home birth.
25:14Uh, so it's just gonna be me and Ed,
25:16um, our midwife and my doula.
25:20Uh, as for music, a bit of 80s pop.
25:24I know it's a bit cheesy,
25:25but I do love a bit of George Michael.
25:26Um, yeah.
25:28Uh, and I want as little intervention as possible.
25:32I just want it to be really peaceful.
25:34I'm sorry, but I'm, I'm a bit scared of hospitals.
25:36No, they scare me, and I work in one.
25:39Ha, ha, ha, ha.
25:42Ed's not really into babies.
25:44He prefers kids when they're old enough
25:45to kick a ball around with.
25:47I find the Earth Mother types to be the most unhinged.
25:51When did you meet him?
25:53Not been together great.
25:54Ah.
25:54Morning, Sheila.
25:56Morning.
25:56Uh, Liz is waiting to speak to you.
26:00It's been one of those nights.
26:01Well, Dr. Burgess, what did you decide?
26:21The CT scan confirmed my suspicions.
26:27It is a skull fracture.
26:28So I've alerted child protection they're on their way.
26:31I applaud your swift judgment.
26:38I did what any good doctor would do.
26:42Would you like to inform the mother
26:43that social services are about to descend?
26:45Or would you like me to?
26:46Lucy.
26:51I'll do it.
27:06Lucy, hi.
27:07Hi.
27:07Thanks for coming.
27:10Neil's waiting in the office,
27:11but I just wondered if we could have a quick chat
27:13before the meeting.
27:14Thing is, I know the mum personally.
27:17It's not a good idea, Liz.
27:20Yeah, she's an old friend.
27:21I know the family really well,
27:22and she is a great mum.
27:23So I just think there must be some other explanation.
27:27Let's save it for the meeting, shall we?
27:30Yep.
27:34The mechanism of the fall doesn't match the injuries.
27:37The child would have been in considerable distress.
27:41Her mum's failure to bring the baby in is alarming.
27:43She's just...
27:44She's never been keen on the medical establishment,
27:48that's all.
27:48She's always felt like that.
27:50What Elizabeth's trying to say is that the baby
27:51hasn't been seen by a medical professional since birth.
27:54Not one?
27:54Nope.
27:56No baby weigh-ins,
27:57no health visitors,
27:58no GP appointments,
28:00no vaccinations.
28:01She's just very mistrusting of hospitals,
28:04of us.
28:05So what do we know about the family?
28:10We know that they have two older sons,
28:13Frankie and Kit.
28:14They've never had any dealings with social services,
28:17or there's no history of alcohol or drug abuse in the home.
28:23And what's known about the father?
28:24I'm assuming you've run background checks.
28:26OK, let's get the older boys in for a medical.
28:32I'll speak to the police,
28:33get permission to interview the mum.
28:37We need to play this by the book, Liz.
28:40Oh, shit, I'm so fucking shit at this.
28:46Oh, don't be silly, you know you're not.
28:49I am.
28:49I'm just like, God,
28:51even just getting out of the house this morning
28:53was like some flipping mission for me.
28:56And the rest of you all sailing through it.
28:58Shh, shh, shh.
28:59Trust me, he was not this angelic at 3 a.m. this morning.
29:02Oh, I'm sorry, as if you got up at 3 a.m.
29:04Not a chance.
29:05God bless the au pair, huh?
29:07Listen, Liz,
29:08the only reason that Molly's asleep right now
29:10is, I don't know,
29:11some sort of act of God.
29:15Oh.
29:16Hey, listen.
29:17You are everything, all right?
29:20Yeah.
29:20You are a wonderful mother,
29:22you're an incredible doctor,
29:24you're a very loyal friend,
29:25and you will get through this.
29:27You will.
29:28What would I have done
29:29if I hadn't met you lot, eh?
29:30I'd just be stuck at home going out of my mind,
29:32literally losing my mind.
29:33She was, she was.
29:36I'm going to take her.
29:38You can keep her.
29:39No.
29:40No, I don't mean that.
29:42Oh, I'm going to screw you for a bit.
29:46Yeah, okay.
29:52Please.
29:54Don't feel bad.
29:55Speaking of lending,
29:57how about you lend us your au pair to our pay?
29:59Back up, bitch, she's mine.
30:00Every time.
30:06See, how does she do it?
30:08I don't know.
30:09She has the magic touch.
30:11If she wasn't my friend,
30:12I'd fucking hate her.
30:13Tsss.
30:14You okay?
30:26You okay?
30:26You okay?
30:26Jess, because of the nature of Betsy's injuries,
30:48I'm afraid social services have been called in.
30:50What?
30:51Any unexplained injury of this nature,
30:54it just automatically triggers an investigation.
30:57I know that sounds serious,
30:58but it is standard.
31:00It's not unexplained.
31:01I told you what happened.
31:01Yeah, and I told you that it wasn't possible.
31:04So if you can just try and be honest with me,
31:06then all of this will get cleared up.
31:08But until then,
31:10who called them?
31:13Who called them this?
31:41Wow.
31:41Thank God for small mercies.
31:45When are they coming back, Eddie?
31:47I'm not sure.
31:49For all I know,
31:50she's still waiting to be seen properly.
31:52That's what she called you.
31:52She's probably triaged behind 17 alcoholics
31:55and a massive attack and a stabbing.
31:56Yeah, but she should keep him informed.
32:00There's something to arrive already?
32:05I'll go.
32:07It's just a shame she's going to miss the start of the party.
32:09Yeah.
32:10Fifty screaming kids won't be easy on the hangover.
32:13You can't go around the back on St. Eddard.
32:16Oh, look.
32:17Frankie's going to love his cake.
32:20Oh, and Ed, the rabbits have also arrived.
32:23The what?
32:24You know, for the petting zoo.
32:26Jess really thinks of everything.
32:27Here you go.
32:42Mm-hmm.
32:43So why don't you start by telling me how Betsy hurt herself?
32:48Um, I was making a smoothie and, um, she was crawling around.
32:51She tried to pull herself up on the fridge, and she fell.
32:53You have a fridge in your living room?
32:55I'm sorry?
32:56You told Dr. Burgess that she was in the living room,
32:59and you were in the kitchen?
33:00Oh, uh, yeah.
33:01The kitchen.
33:02Mm-hmm.
33:03Did you hear her fall?
33:04Yes.
33:05Um, I saw it happen.
33:06I was with Frankie at the time, my eight-year-old.
33:08Mm-hmm.
33:09Mm-hmm.
33:10Mm-hmm.
33:11Mm-hmm.
33:12Mm-hmm.
33:13Mm-hmm.
33:14Mm-hmm.
33:15Did you hear her fall?
33:16Yes.
33:17Um, I-I saw it happen.
33:19I was with Frankie at the time, my eight-year-old.
33:22Mm-hmm.
33:36Hey, family.
33:38Hey.
33:39Hey.
33:40Hi.
33:41Hi, little angel.
33:42Do I get a hug?
33:43I'm busy.
33:44Oh.
33:45Okay.
33:46Hello, gorgeous.
33:47Good day?
33:48Yes.
33:51Hello, wife.
33:52Hello, husband.
33:53Oh.
33:58You have a rough night?
34:00You can tell, can you?
34:01Yeah, you look a bit tired.
34:03Oh.
34:04But, but, but, lovely.
34:05Of course.
34:06No.
34:07Jess came in with Betsy.
34:10Oh, yeah?
34:11Everything okay?
34:12It's really good.
34:13I had to call social services.
34:14What?
34:15You're kidding.
34:16I didn't.
34:17On Jess.
34:18Stop it.
34:19I feel shit enough as it is.
34:20It's bad.
34:21It's really bad.
34:22It's really bad.
34:23Betsy's really hurt.
34:24And, and Jess doesn't seem to know how it's happened.
34:25What?
34:26Do you think she is the blame?
34:27Or Ed?
34:28Or Ed?
34:29Well, Betsy didn't hurt herself, did she?
34:30Oh shit.
34:31I don't know.
34:32I just don't know.
34:33But it's just, if anything Jess is, she's like overprotective, isn't she?
34:35Yeah.
34:36Yeah.
34:37Yeah.
34:38But she was really evasive.
34:39Completely closed off.
34:40I've never seen her like that before.
34:41I've never seen her like that before.
34:42I mean, I've hardly seen her have I since she had Betsy.
34:44She's just...
34:45I've been bogged down with like, night shifts, my mum, the kids, and I'm like, oh god, I've
34:47been a really shitty girl.
34:48You haven't seen her like that before.
34:51I don't even know.
34:52I've seen her like that before.
34:53I don't know what you're like.
34:54I don't know.
34:55I don't know.
34:56I don't know.
34:57I just don't know.
34:58I don't know.
34:59I just don't know.
35:00It's just...
35:01If anything Jess is...
35:02She's like overprotective, isn't she?
35:03Yeah.
35:04Yeah.
35:05But she was really evasive.
35:06Completely closed off.
35:07I've never seen her like that before.
35:08I mean, I've hardly seen her have I since she had Betsy.
35:09Like, night shifts, my mum, the kids.
35:12I'm like, oh, God, I've been a really shit fight.
35:14No, come on.
35:15I have.
35:19What happened between you two?
35:23You know, you always used to be so close.
35:27People just drift apart, I know.
35:31Hmm.
35:34You are a terrible liar.
35:36Is the food ready yet?
35:39Yes, the grub is up.
35:51Sorry, please, don't pick her up.
35:54I know. I'm her mother.
35:56It's imperative that we keep Betsy still.
35:58We don't want to risk further injury.
36:00We're going to be keeping to strict visiting times from now on.
36:04Okay, but...
36:05Lucy's is probably better coming from you.
36:07Dr. Cockrell's right.
36:10I'm afraid you'll need to be supervised by myself or a colleague when you're with Betsy.
36:14What?
36:15I'm her mother.
36:16I don't need to be supervised to be with my own child.
36:19This is how it has to be for the foreseeable.
36:23So I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
36:26What?
36:27No, she's sick.
36:29What if she wakes up and I'm not here?
36:30She'd be terrified.
36:32We'll take great care of her.
36:41I'm still breastfeeding.
36:42She needs me.
36:44You won't be able to breastfeed for some time.
36:47Wait, you'd stop me from breastfeeding my own child?
36:49No, no, you can express milk and that will be fed to Betsy.
36:53And we'll arrange regular visits.
36:55I'm going to find a new hospital.
36:57You can't do that.
36:58Of course I can.
36:59Do you understand what I'm saying?
37:15Your daughter is under an emergency protection plan.
37:19If you attempt to remove her, we will get a court order or police emergency powers will be used.
37:29Oh, hey.
37:47Brilliant.
37:50Proud of you.
37:57Oh, hey.
37:57See you, bud.
37:58Yeah, it's good to see you.
37:59Yeah, I'm on the table. Thank you.
38:03Oh, hello, guys.
38:04I don't know those people. I've never seen them before.
38:06Oh, don't worry.
38:08You're doing a great job.
38:09Slow down.
38:11Hi.
38:12Oh, mate, someone's parked across your neighbour's driveway.
38:14Oh, don't worry.
38:15I'll handle it.
38:16Thanks.
38:19What happened?
38:20It bit me.
38:22Funny.
38:23It is.
38:26Get out of my way.
38:29Go ahead.
38:30Yeah.
38:31Come on.
38:32Hey, go.
38:33All right, mate, guys, boys, boys, just chill out, yeah?
38:35Just chill out.
38:37No fight.
38:38Oh, God.
38:44Yeah, there was a lot of talk about the fact that they went ahead with the party.
38:55Love it, yeah?
38:57Beer or face?
38:59Beer.
38:59There you go.
39:05There you go.
39:06Is there any news?
39:08No.
39:12Do you think it could be something like meningitis?
39:13Jesus, Charlotte!
39:14I'm just asking a question.
39:16Oh, God, I hope not.
39:18Is that something as serious as that?
39:20As soon as the party's over, I'm going straight to the hospital.
39:22It's good that Jess took her in, just to be on the safe side.
39:25Who won?
39:26Who'd you think?
39:27Yeah, did you cheat?
39:29No surprise there.
39:30All right, thank you.
39:31Sorry to hear about Betsy.
39:34Yeah, thanks.
39:34All right.
39:35Yeah, thanks.
39:37Thank you very much.
39:41Let's go.
40:11Let's go.
40:41Let's go.
40:42Let's go.

41:20Let's go.
41:21Let's go.
41:22Let's go.
41:23Okay, great.
41:24Let's go.
41:26Let's go.
41:27Let's go.
41:28What?
41:29Oh.
41:30What?
41:31I'm off track of him to be in.
41:33Hey, how're you holding up?
41:34I'll be happy when this party's over.
41:35What?
41:36I can imagine.
41:37Poor Jess looked exhausted when I lastry saw her?
41:39When did you see Jess?
41:41Last night, I was on duty when she came in.
41:42All right, well maybe you can tell me what the hell's going on then.
41:46children with this kind of injury completely still.
41:49Well, she was sick.
41:51She went in with a bug or a virus.
41:55Jess hasn't told you.
42:01You need to talk to Jess right away.
42:02You need to speak to Jess and Betsy's social worker, sorry.
42:05Social worker?
42:09What are you talking about?
42:16Wait a minute, are you telling me that my daughter is lying in a hospital with unexplained injuries,
42:41which she did not have when she left this house?
42:46I'm sorry, Eddie, I'm sorry.
42:47Someone has called social services on my family.
42:49Take a bit, yeah, just catch your breath.
42:50Social services?
42:54What would you do then?
42:55I would just talk to you.
42:56Jess, don't walk away from me.
42:57What are you doing?
42:59We're looking for Edward Carrisford, anyone?
43:03Yeah, I'm Edward Carrisford, what?
43:06I'm DC's Steve Rustin.
43:09Lucy Harding, I'm with Children's Services.
43:12Do you mind if we go inside for a chat?
43:16Yes, you should go.
43:38The party was a disaster.
43:41Liz lit the fuse.
43:43Then it blew up.
43:46Pew.
43:47There's just nothing we could do to stop it.
43:53Turns out, being a perfect mother is impossible.
43:57You make mistakes.
43:59And it doesn't matter what others think, no one judges you harder than yourself.
44:05And sometimes, the harder you try, the more you have to hide.
44:17Because only you know what you've done.
44:19It's uncomfortable for a friend to make a referral.
44:31We're not as close as we used to be.
44:33Here's to another ten years of friendship.
44:35Ten years.
44:37Frankie!
44:38Frankie and Sam, they wandered off.
44:40I've seen things that make me wonder.
44:42There's a fine line between neglect and abuse.
44:44What happened, Jess?
44:45I'm convinced this isn't an accidental injury.
44:48You can't take out children!
44:50They're not the perfect family, and...
44:52Ed's not the easygoing guy we thought he was.
44:55Harmless fun, isn't it?
44:56What happened on Friday, Ed?
44:58Someone in that house harmed that baby,
45:00and one of them's lying about it.
45:02was the three times for a whole time.
45:04I cried out, I cried out, moan.
45:06I cried out.
45:07I cried out, I cried out.
45:08I cried out, I cried out.
45:12I cried out.
