00:00Getting in the medical team's way.
00:01I just need to get her out of there.
00:03For God's sake, get control of your drinking.
00:05Are you having an affair with Charlotte Hinman?
00:07If you want me to represent you alone,
00:09know that this will be an act of war against your marriage.
00:13Things are likely to escalate as a result of all three of your children now showing indicators of abuse.
00:18On the laptop, check the search history.
00:21We need to ensure that you maintain custody of these children if they go after Jess.
00:25I'm saying this is serious.
00:30Do you really have to go to work?
00:37I don't have a choice.
00:40You'll be okay?
00:42You'll be okay? You'll be okay?
00:46Boys, you're excited to show up the lady's sister?
00:51Just a minute, I'm coming down.
01:09No!
01:10No!
01:12That's it!
01:13That's it!
01:23I'm a bad mother.
01:26A bad, bad mother.
01:28No!
01:29She be scheckered by you.
01:31Александир Buehl, Aernee.
01:32No!
01:33No!
01:34No!
01:35No!
01:37No!
01:38No!
01:39No!
01:41I don't care.
01:42No!
01:44No!
01:45No!
01:46You can't.
01:51You can't.
01:52No!
01:53No.
01:54No!
01:55No!
02:26Oh, you off?
02:51Yeah.
02:53I hope you have a quiet one.
02:55I'm going to say goodnight to Betsy.
02:57Okay, see you.
03:07Hello?
03:08Oh, shit.
03:20When did you last see round?
03:22Ten, eleven minutes ago.
03:23Betsy was in her bed?
03:23Yes, of course.
03:24She should still be there.
03:26She's gone.
03:27Look, we need to tell security.
03:28Call the police.
03:29No, not yet.
03:30Not yet.
03:31Why not?
03:31Because she might be with her mum.
03:33She won't have gone far.
03:34This is madness.
03:34That baby's under police protection.
03:36Please, Sheila, just do what I say.
03:41Have you seen Mrs. Carrisford?
03:43No.
03:43Baby abduction.
04:01Notify security.
04:02All staff to man.
04:04Main exit door.
04:06Put me through to the police.
04:07Oi!
04:14Oi!
04:16All right, mate.
04:17We'll take it.
04:19We'll take it.
04:29Make sure you check the CCTVs.
04:32Jess!
04:42Jess!
04:53Jess!
04:54Jess!
04:55Jess!
04:56Jess!
04:57Jess!
04:58Jess, please.
05:00Let's just talk.
05:02Please, talk to me.
05:08Jess...
05:18What if we're gonna take her?
05:21I'm gonna protect her.
05:23Yeah, no, I know you did, I know you did.
05:25But this is not the way to do it, please.
05:28Betts, this condition's still really serious, Jess,
05:32and we can't monitor her when she's out here.
05:34We can't help her if she has another seizure,
05:37we've got no oxygen or anything.
05:39Please.
05:41Jess, I know you wouldn't want to hurt her.
05:45Just wait, just give me a minute.
05:47Just give me a minute.
05:50Please, Jess, just open the door, let's talk.
05:53Come on.
05:56I'm not with her.
06:00Okay.
06:03Okay.
06:05Please, I promise, I promise, I will take care of her.
06:10I'm never gonna forgive her.
06:13Well, that's a shame.
06:14I'm sorry you feel like that, Jess, because I...
06:18I believe you.
06:23Jess, I know, I know you didn't hurt Betsy.
06:29Please.
06:32I know.
06:33Come on.
06:34Shh, shh, shh.
06:35I know.
06:36Come on.
06:37It's okay.
06:38It's okay.
06:39You're a good girl.
06:40Well done, Jess.
06:41Good girl.
06:42I know.
06:43You're a good girl.
06:44It's okay.
06:45It's okay.
06:46It's okay.
06:47It's okay.
06:48It's okay.
06:49If you could please step out of the pickle.
06:50It's okay.
06:51It's okay.
06:52If you could please step out of the pickle.
07:12You've got a please.
07:15It's okay.
07:16You're all good.
07:17You're all good.
07:19You're all good.
07:20You're all good.
07:25Good girl.
07:26Miller!
07:27The other...
07:37Come on.
07:38I've got aCD.
07:39I was gonna do it for a iB.
07:40Sweet dreams.
08:00Stand up, please, Mrs. Carrisford.
08:03Jessica Carrisford, I'm arresting you for abducting a child in care.
08:07You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defense.
08:09If you do not mention, when questioned, something which you later rely on in court.
08:12Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
08:26Be gentle with her.
08:39I don't think Jess even knew what she wanted to do when she took Betsy.
08:43I don't think she was thinking that far ahead.
08:44I think she believed that just in that moment, Betsy needed her more.
08:51But, Char, this can't be a repeat of Friday.
09:00You know what?
09:03You can't actually kick me out tonight.
09:06Remember?
09:07The safety plan.
09:08I legally have to be here.
09:10Dad, I'll go.
09:11Just don't tell Rustin that you're sleeping over.
09:13He's already convinced we're having an affair.
09:15Well, the bar, the copious amounts of after-hold.
09:20I can see how he reached that conclusion.
09:33Eddie.
09:33Andrew, he's a really wonderful man.
09:42I mean, we don't even fight, but he's not, um, he's not, he's not you.
09:53So, I don't know how you feel, okay, but for me, it's always been the same.
09:58Well, I can't bear seeing you like this, and so I'm just, I'm going to say it.
10:02I'm going to say it out loud, and then it's just done, okay?
10:06Yeah.
10:12I'm in love with you.
10:17I love you, Ed.
10:22I always have.
10:23And I'm, yeah, I'm prepared to leave Andrew for you.
10:53Oh, Charlotte.
11:00Oh, my God.
11:07I'm so sorry.
11:11Charlotte.
11:14You are my dear, dear friend.
11:17I think the world of you.
11:18But I do love Jess.
11:24I'm going to do everything I can to protect her and be there for her.
11:28And I'm sorry, but you and I, that this can't happen.
11:37It's Liz.
11:43Ed?
11:44Yeah?
11:44Jess has been arrested.
11:46She tried to take Betsy.
11:47What?
11:49Baby's okay, though.
11:50Oh, my God.
11:51Okay.
11:53Jess just tried to abduct Betsy.
11:55Ed?
11:57Go on.
11:57Where's Jess now?
11:59All right, thank you.
12:00Thanks, Liz.
12:00Go.
12:01Thanks.
12:08Thanks for asking.
12:10Then, sit down.
12:10I'll go outside.
12:11All right.
12:11?
12:12Let's go outside.
12:13Let's go below.
12:14Hello?
12:31Hello?
12:40You home then?
12:50Yeah, I want to see Connor.
12:53Oh. Feeling guilty?
12:58No.
12:59He doesn't want to see you.
13:02I need to ask him about what happened today.
13:05Because he told you anything.
13:08I don't want a bully for a son.
13:10Connor's not a bully.
13:12You sure about that, are you?
13:15Yeah.
13:21Did you take money out of my account?
13:24My card got declined today.
13:26Yeah, I did. I needed to top up the mortgage payment,
13:28but I'll put some money into your account later.
13:31My phone's not working.
13:34Well, I forgot to pay the bill.
13:46Why were things really that bad?
13:48I don't know why you just won't let me get a job.
14:04Oh.
14:07Doing what, exactly?
14:10Sorry, remind me what it is that you're qualified to do.
14:20Where are you going? Come on.
14:21To see Connor.
14:23Well, bad luck, because these are my sisters.
14:25So...
14:27Why don't you believe me?
14:29Andrew, what is going on?
14:45How did you get...
14:46Ed...
14:47They won't even tell me why they were arrested.
14:49Ed, go home.
14:50You're not doing anyone any good here.
14:52I'm not gonna leave?
14:55I've just spoken to the duty sergeant,
14:57and they've told me they're not gonna interview her tonight.
15:00They're gonna...
15:01They're gonna keep her?
15:02They can keep her for 24 hours.
15:06Go be with your boys.
15:09Yeah, alright.
15:10Alright.
15:11I'm sorry.
15:39Bad.
15:40Bad.
15:41Mother.
16:10Bad.
16:11Bad.
16:12Bad.
16:13Bad.
16:14Bad.
16:15Bad.
16:16Bad.
16:17Bad.
16:18Bad.
16:19Bad.
16:20Bad.
16:21Bad.
16:22Bad.
16:23Bad.
16:24Bad.
16:25Bad.
16:26Bad.
16:27Bad.
16:28Bad.
16:29Bad.
16:30Bad.
16:31Bad.
16:32Bad.
16:33Bad.
16:34Bad.
16:35Bad.
16:36Bad.
16:37Bad.
16:38Bad.
16:39Bad.
16:40What's happening?
17:01Baby's stuck.
17:08Push now!
17:09Pisa, we need to get her out.
17:25Is she dead?
17:35The sentient want to touch.
17:36She's beating out.
17:39Ha!
17:54Ah!
17:55Dad!
17:56Dad!
17:57I don't know.
17:59I don't know.
18:04I don't know.
18:07I don't know.
18:12But I don't know.
18:18Jess.
18:20Oh thank god.
18:26How are you?
18:30I brought you some food and a cup of coffee.
18:44Now, if you agree to instruct me, I will act as your legal representative today.
18:56Her lawyer's arrived.
19:00So, current timeline we are working to.
19:03Friday after school, Jess is at home alone with their two youngest.
19:07She claims that Betsy slips, bumps her head on the fridge.
19:10Yeah, but Socko found no DNA evidence backing this up.
19:13Their eldest Kit arrives home at 6.45 from football.
19:16And Jill Baker, the parent who dropped Kit off, hears the baby crying from the driveway.
19:20But Jess claims that she puts the kids to bed as normal.
19:23She turns in herself around 9.
19:26Ed gets home at 10, inebriated, finds the baby in distress, raises the alarm.
19:30Anything else?
19:32I asked Financial Investigations to expand their cheque.
19:38Look at the time of that transaction.
19:41Whose card was used?
19:42Jessica Carrisford.
19:45Have we sent a PCSO to pull CCTV?
19:47Yeah.
19:48For now, we've got to focus on this interview.
19:50What are you thinking?
19:53I think the Carrisfords lived a very charmed life until child number three.
19:57And that's when everything started to fall apart.
20:00Are we looking at a violent mother who hurt her child on purpose?
20:03Or a desperate woman who accidentally lost control?
20:11Yeah, I mean, either way, she put her sick child at serious risk by snatching her from ICU last night.
20:17Oh, last thing?
20:18Yeah.
20:20Her lawyer, Andrew Hinman, married to Charlotte Hinman.
20:23Quite the tight-knit, well-to-do social circle, isn't it?
20:34Now, I have to ask, has anyone interviewed you since you were taken into custody?
20:40No.
20:41Has anyone made you sign anything?
20:45Have you said anything to the police that I need to be made aware of when they brought you in?
20:51Like what?
20:53What are you suggesting?
20:56I saw a big blur last night. I don't remember much.
21:00Jess, I'm here as your friend, but I'm also your lawyer now.
21:03I will protect you, but you have to be completely honest with me.
21:07Of course.
21:10So is there something you want to tell me?
21:13Something you haven't told anyone?
21:15About what happened?
21:23They weren't looking after her.
21:24Anyway, I should get a little bit.
21:25I'll be quiet.
21:26For the sake, Rob, why did you rush them in?
21:27No.
21:28Steady.
21:29I wanted you to talk to Connor, I wanted to say goodbye.
21:30I'm sorry.
21:31You knew that.
21:32Sorry.
21:33I didn't see you and I'm not a mind reader.
21:34Why are you doing this?
21:35Doing what?
21:36Doing what?
21:37I'm really sorry about this.
21:38Sorry.
21:40What are you talking about?
21:41I've been waiting the kids off to school.
21:54You know, it's really hard for them not to feel abandoned.
21:57Yeah?
21:58When the mum's just left them.
22:00You're punishing me.
22:01What?
22:02All I'm doing is helping our friends out for a few days.
22:04Mel, you're my partner and I love you and I want you to come home tonight.
22:08Well, just don't fucking bother coming back at all.
22:13Now, do you know what, Rob?
22:15I'm not doing this anymore. I've had enough!
22:18Mel. Hey, Mel. Mel.
22:21Come on, we're coming home with you. Come on.
22:24Come on.
22:33Here you go, Rob.
22:38Oh, Nick.
22:45There's going to be a clinical incident report with my name on it, and that is not good.
22:50But what happened isn't your fault.
22:53And whatever she's going through, she's obviously not coping, so...
22:57Yeah, and then I went and made it worse.
23:04Could I just put a note on her file?
23:05The minute she came into A&E on Friday night, I never gave her enough time.
23:17You know, I was just focused on the baby. I was in work mode.
23:21I didn't treat her like a friend. I treated her like a stranger.
23:24I... I just think you're being a little hard on yourself.
23:29You know, if...
23:29If you're in a safeguarding role, you have to act.
23:37So you would have done it?
23:41What I've called social services on Jess, I...
23:43Probably? I don't know.
23:46It's hard. It's Jess.
23:47I don't know.
23:48I don't know.
23:49I don't know.
23:50I don't know.
23:51I don't know.
23:52It's been day.
23:53I found the bottle of Prosecco.
23:55Oh, don't start.
23:57I...
23:58I...
23:59I...
23:59I...
24:00Honestly.
24:00It's like my first drink in three days.
24:01What?
24:05Well...
24:06Well done on your remarkable restraint.
24:08Yeah, thanks. Thank you.
24:08I surprise myself sometimes.
24:11Oh, don't start.
24:13Honestly.
24:15It's like my first drink in three days.
24:21Well done on your remarkable restraint.
24:23Yeah, thanks. Thank you.
24:24I surprise myself sometimes.
24:35Shouldn't you be at school?
24:37It's Korea's morning. I've got a free period.
24:47You know, a whole bottle of Prosecco at midnight is not nothing.
25:07I'm sorry.
25:23Won't happen again.
25:24It will, until you realise that you can't just have one drink.
25:27All right, everybody's got their own unhealthy coping mechanisms, haven't they?
25:32It's just... it's not every day.
25:34Yes, it is.
25:38And I'm worried.
25:43Oh, Mrs. Carisford.
25:44Great.
25:49Right.
25:53So, there'll be a buzzing for a couple of seconds, and then we can stop.
26:02Okay, Jess.
26:04Tell us about when you took Betsy.
26:07Why did you do it?
26:12Because I love her, and I was worried about her.
26:16But taking her away meant you put her in danger.
26:20I wasn't thinking.
26:22I was trying to protect her.
26:24I thought they were going to take her away from me.
26:27You grew up in the US, didn't you?
26:31Yes.
26:32Somewhere without a public healthcare system.
26:34And you don't care for our medical system.
26:39I don't really trust doctors.
26:41I don't think they always know best.
26:44And you don't like medicating your children, is that right?
26:48Not unless it's strictly necessary.
26:52And you don't believe in vaccinating your children?
26:57I believe vaccines are risky.
27:00And that drug companies aren't always transparent.
27:03But that's an informed choice, that's hardly a crime.
27:07Look, I know it's an unpopular opinion, but...
27:10I am trying to do what's best for my children.
27:14And to keep them safe. Always.
27:17And do you always try to keep Betsy safe, Jess?
27:21Of course I do. That's what mothers do.
27:24But you didn't keep her safe on Friday, did you?
27:27Yes, I did.
27:28Well, then can you explain to me why it took you over five hours
27:30to bring her into the hospital?
27:32Because I'm a bad mother.
27:34I told you.
27:36I didn't want to overreact.
27:38I told you all of this already.
27:41It didn't seem any more serious than a tumble
27:43that my two boys might have had when they were toddlers.
27:46Well, you're a bad mother.
27:47An evil mother.
27:49My client has said she didn't realize the severity of the injury.
27:52Yeah, but you didn't even bring her in after she'd been sick in her cot.
27:55That's a clear sign of a concussion.
27:57I didn't know that she'd been sick. I was asleep.
28:00Right. According to your husband, you were in bed.
28:05It had been quite a day and I was exhausted.
28:07But if I had known that she was sick or was crying, of course I would have gone in.
28:14I mean, I'm not a monster. I'm not the mother you think I am.
28:17By all accounts, you're an attentive mother. A good mother. Aren't you, Jess?
28:22Yes.
28:24Your children are always well dressed and fed.
28:27Look, there was nothing else of any concern on Betsy's skeletal survey.
28:30And look, we've seen the social media posts, the happy kids and the beautiful home.
28:35Okay.
28:39So what I'm struggling to understand is what happened that made you dismiss Betsy's injuries as something that didn't need hospital attention.
28:48Because an attentive mother is always alert to the possibility of her baby waking up.
28:53She doesn't just lie there ignoring her baby.
28:56I was not ignoring her.
28:57My mother has said she was exhausted. She fell asleep.
28:59What does your husband think of your relationship with Betsy, Jess?
29:07What?
29:08Does Ed think that you're bonded with Betsy? Does he think you're in tune with Betsy's needs?
29:14I think so.
29:15But isn't that what you argued about? Isn't that why he had to come home Friday lunchtime to check up on you?
29:19Because he was concerned about your relationship with your daughter.
29:25How does that make you feel? Your husband coming home to check up on you? Does that make you feel angry?
29:31So angry that you would take it out on Betsy?
29:36They think I'm a bad mother.
29:38And Betsy is upstairs screaming!
29:39You're a bad mother. You're an evil mother.
29:43No.
29:44Did you know that your husband was so concerned that he confided in a female friend minutes after leaving you on Friday lunchtime?
29:52What are you talking about?
29:53Immediately after leaving you on Friday, he and this friend, they shared a few bottles of wine, an intimate wine bar.
30:01In fact, they spent the rest of the afternoon together into the evening.
30:04I don't know what you're saying. With who?
30:06Mrs. Charlotte Hinman.
30:09Did you find out about your husband's betrayal? Did it make you angry, Jess?
30:13No.
30:14So angry the next time you're with Betsy, you're changing her nappy. Maybe you're a bit brusque with her.
30:18No.
30:19Maybe she just wouldn't be quiet, right?
30:21You're distressed because Ed is coming home to check up on you and you've just found out that he is confiding in Charlotte Hinman.
30:27No.
30:28You're frustrated. You're exhausted. These are a lot of emotions, Jess, right?
30:30No.
30:31And Betsy just will not be quiet.
30:33Did you want to grip her a bit harder? Did you want to shake some sense into her?
30:36No!
30:37You know that you shouldn't do it, but it's all getting a bit much.
30:39No!
30:40You're changing her nappy. It's all getting a bit much. Maybe you accidentally grip her hard.
30:45Did you want to shake her? Shake some sense into her?
30:47No!
30:48No!
30:49Just bang her head, Jess!
30:52No!
30:53Sorry, I think my client needs a moment. Perhaps we could take a short break, please.
30:58Okay.
30:59All right.
31:00All right.
31:01When our babies were tiny, Jess became convinced that they'd slept together at uni.
31:15It became an obsession. She worried that Ed would find a Charlotte more attractive and leave.
31:34We could all see that Ed or Jess and Charlotte could only have ever been a fling. The best.
31:44Still, nothing you could ever tell me about those two would surprise me.
31:52Sorry.
31:53I can't believe Jess, of all people, has been arrested.
32:17I know.
32:19Ed's devastated.
32:22Andrew said the police are being relentless and it's hard to imagine a jury feeling any sympathy for a mother who's accused of harming her baby.
32:30But Mel, we also need to talk about what just happened at school.
32:35I don't understand. Why is he being so vile to you?
32:39He's lovely 80% of the time.
32:44He just doesn't like it when I do something he doesn't want me to do, like helping out the Carisfords.
32:57And he's really secretive about money.
33:01I never see any bills. The house is in his name. I've no idea how much money we've got or haven't got.
33:10And now he's withdrawn the amount he gives me each month.
33:13Wait, he gives you an allowance?
33:14I don't think of it like that, but...
33:18Look, since he was made redundant, we've put it in.
33:20Hold on, he was made redundant?
33:22I thought he was striking out on his own.
33:24Yeah, well, that's what he wants you to think.
33:26But Ed never invested.
33:27I don't know, Charlotte. Every relationship has its ups and downs.
33:33Well, yes, I know it does.
33:36But Mel, this is extreme.
33:41I'm not like you.
33:44With your career, your confidence, your determinations.
33:49I haven't worked in over a decade.
33:52I've no income, no savings.
33:54He said if I ever try and leave him, he'll take the kids.
34:00I knew he was a bit of a dick, but...
34:04I don't know how you put up with it. I mean, you can't be happy.
34:10Are you happy all the time?
34:13Well, no.
34:14I mean, of course, everybody knows marriage is hard, and...
34:19At least you've got a good one in Andrew.
34:21I have a good one in Andrew.
34:24I mean, I have a good one in Andrew.
34:26I have a good one in Andrew.
34:28I have a good one.
34:29My father and I have a good one in Andrew.
34:30I have a good one.
34:32And a good one, Andrew.
34:34I can't believe in Andrew.
34:35And I have a good one in Andrew.
34:37And a good one.
34:39So, we'd like to talk about the timeline Friday early evening.
34:41Specifically the time between 6 and 6.30.
34:43You told us that once you'd returned home from the school run you didn't leave the house again
34:48Kit was picked up for football at 4.45, but you didn't leave. Is that still your recollection?
34:55No comment, please Jess
34:59Yes
35:01Now as discussed everyone that we've spoken to has described you as a very attentive mother. Would you agree with that assessment?
35:11Sorry for the tape
35:13Yes
35:15You're not the sort of mother who would leave her young children alone in the house
35:24I'm not that sort of mother no
35:27And just to clarify your stance on medicating your children is so firm that you would only do so if strictly necessary
35:37You wouldn't even keep children's paracetamol in the house
35:43I'm not like her parents
35:48Ah
35:50Cranky.
35:59Goddammit!
36:03Oh, come on.
36:20I'm just trying to help.
36:35Please don't scream.
36:36I'm just trying to help.
36:38Please don't scream.
36:43Stop crying!
36:50I'm a bad mother.
36:54A bad, bad mother.
36:57I'm a bad mother.
37:07I'm a bad mother.
37:12I'm a bad mother.
37:19I'm a bad mother.
37:22I'm a bad mother.
37:27There you go.
37:29Bye, thank you.
37:32Bye.
37:33Hi, what can I get you?
37:35Children's paracetamol, please.
37:37Hi, is it for baby or the older ones?
37:39Ah, the baby.
37:40Is she teething?
37:42Bigger boom!
37:44Bigger boom!
37:45Ah!
37:46This is me!
37:48There you go.
37:50This footage shows you in superb deli stores at 6.23 on the day you brought Betsy to hospital.
38:01You're purchasing children's paracetamol an hour after you said your daughter sustained a head injury.
38:06I must object to this being sprung on my client without warning.
38:09This is you in the footage, yes?
38:12For the tape, please.
38:15Yes.
38:17You look distressed in this recording.
38:19That can't be deduced from this image.
38:20We also spoke to Jill Baker, who dropped Kit off at 6.45.
38:23She confirmed that you seemed distressed, distracted.
38:26Like you'd been crying.
38:28Had you been crying, Jess?
38:34Possibly.
38:37Possibly.
38:38Hmm.
38:41Probably.
38:44Something happened to cause this distress.
38:48What happened, Jess?
38:49What happened that was so distressing that you would leave your 10-month-old baby and your young son
38:55to go and buy medicine that you would only use if strictly necessary?
39:00Medicine that was necessary because you knew that Betsy was hurt.
39:05Why would you leave them, Jess?
39:08Did you leave them after you did something that you didn't intend?
39:13After getting frustrated and losing your temper?
39:16Jess?
39:17Jess?
39:18You leave them because you hurt Betsy?
39:22How did you fracture her skull, Jess?
39:26I didn't.
39:27I didn't.
39:28I didn't do it.
39:32Hello, sweetheart.
39:33I missed you too.
39:34Hello.
39:35You better keep your distance, young man. I'm not pleased with you at all at all.
39:38Are you coming home?
39:39Don't change the subject.
39:41You're never home.
39:42Hey, listen. I actually came home to talk to you last night about Frankie, but...
39:43Hey, listen. Listen, you and I, we're going to have a proper conversation about all this.
39:48You can't treat people like that without serious consequences.
39:55Hiya.
39:56Where's mommy?
39:57Wish it was with Betsy.
39:58But have you seen Kit's cool cast?
39:59Oh.
40:00You okay?
40:01Yeah.
40:02Good.
40:03Um, I'm not happy.
40:04I'm not happy, man. I'm not pleased with you at all at all.
40:06Are you coming home?
40:07Don't change the subject.
40:08You're never home.
40:09Hey, listen.
40:10I actually came home to talk to you last night about Frankie, but...
40:12Hey, listen.
40:13Listen, you and I, we're going to have a proper conversation about all this.
40:16You can't treat people like that without serious consequences.
40:19Hiya.
40:20Where's mommy?
40:21Well, she fizzed with Betsy.
40:22Oh.
40:23You okay?
40:24Yeah, good.
40:25Um, I can take the kids to Jess's for pizza.
40:27Uh, well, considering our son was the one being attacked yesterday, I think we should
40:30probably head off, don't you?
40:31Come on, you two. Come on.
40:32Come on, please, Dad.
40:33It's a play date. They're fine.
40:34Look, they got... they got homework.
40:36Since when did you give a shit about homework?
40:38Well, one of us has got to be responsible.
40:39Molly, Connor, in the car now.
40:41Oh, um, just remember what I said earlier, okay?
40:43Tonight.
40:50Come on, troops.
40:51Let's go home.
40:58Hi.
40:59Oh, hey.
41:02How was work?
41:04Yeah.
41:05No drama.
41:06Apart from someone totally trashed the boys' toilets.
41:09Ew.
41:11There.
41:12How was your day?
41:14Yeah, it was good.
41:15I, um, spent the afternoon Googling symptoms, actually.
41:18Went down a bit of a wormhole.
41:19It still terrifies me that doctors use Google.
41:22I just...
41:24You know we all do it, right?
41:27Go on, then.
41:28Okay, so...
41:29I think Jess is suffering from a mental health disorder.
41:33A post-natal anxiety.
41:34I found this thing called perinatal OCD.
41:38It's a form of obsessive compulsive disorder, but it's triggered by the birth of a child.
41:43In this case, Betsy.
41:45Oh.
41:46I just think it would explain her behaviour over the last few days and why she's not quite the Jess we know.
41:52Hmm.
41:54What do you think I should do?
41:56Well, I mean...
41:57You have to tell Ed.
41:59Not exactly his favourite person right now.
42:02Well, I mean...
42:04I could come with you.
42:05Bit of solidarity.
42:07Thanks, but I just...
42:09I don't think so.
42:10Hey, hey.
42:12If you think that this can help Jess, then you have to try.
42:16Even if Ed isn't your biggest fan, Jess is what matters most.
42:21Hmm.
42:24Hmm.
42:28And I've been thinking about what you said this morning.
42:32Yeah?
42:33Yeah, about the drinking.
42:36And you're right.
42:38And I do need to sort it out, and I will.
42:49That's really good for Nick.
42:50Okay.
42:52Pizzas are in.
42:53Thank you, Auntie Charlotte.
42:54Thanks, Auntie Charlotte.
42:57The answer's 89.
42:59Sweet.
43:00All right, then.
43:01We'll do the last one after dinner.
43:02I already know the last one, Dad.
43:04Go on.
43:05It's Dee.
43:08Hi.
43:09Hi.
43:11Hi, guys.
43:12Just wanted to see how you're getting on.
43:14How's Jess?
43:15Andy's had a call if you had any news.
43:19All right, then.
43:20We should hear in the next few hours.
43:24I've been doing some reading, and I think that Jess is suffering from a thing called perinatal OCD.
43:30All right, go on.
43:31It manifests itself in, like, compulsive behaviour, like obsessing over whether your children are safe, or compulsive cleaning to manage your thoughts.
43:44For how long?
43:46Probably since Betsy was born.
43:48And she might have been trying to keep control ever since then.
43:54But does this make her more or less guilty?
43:58I don't know, but she's not my patient.
44:06Yeah.
44:07Right.
44:29But do you think that she could have actually hurt Betsy?
44:44I'd like to remind you that my client has been in custody for 20 hours at this point.
44:48She has a family and a sick child. She's been extremely cooperative.
44:50DC Farron and I are in agreement. We'll be referring the case to the Crown Prosecution Service.
44:54Then I insist Jess is released on pre-charge bail immediately.
44:59My screen! My screen! My screen!
45:02Stop crying!
45:09Mrs. Carrisford?
45:11Mrs. Carrisford, did you hear me?
45:13While we continue investigating Betsy's skull fracture, we feel we have sufficient evidence to convince the CPS to charge you with child abduction and child endangerment.
45:25PUSH scatting
45:37Mum!
45:43In the morning, we'll be taken in a policeman to the Magistrates' Court for your first appearance, where the court will decide if you should get bail.
45:50I think you should get bail.
46:05I am a bad mother.
46:08A bad mother.
46:11Mummy's a bit upset.
46:13Mummy's a bit upset.
46:15Mummy's a bit upset.
46:17Oh, Betsy, did you do smelly poo?
46:21Oh, it's okay. Mummy will be back in a minute.
46:47I can't escape.
46:49Cue, I'm sorry, I can go.
46:53Of course not.
46:54What's happening?
46:59Cue, I'm sorry.
47:02Cue, I'm sorry.
47:06Cue, I'm sorry.
47:09Cue, I'm sorry.
47:13The video is on my way.
47:15You
