TVTranscript
00:00I always thought that Jess was the perfect mother.
00:16I forgot that perfection is an illusion.
00:21Something created, filtered and tweaked.
00:24And then something happens, some tiny mishap, some little disaster, that at first seems trivial.
00:36And the illusion starts to crumble.
00:40And suddenly you look at this perfect mother and you ask yourself, where else is she hiding?
00:54Sorry, I'm sorry.
01:00I'll call you as soon as you've been seen.
01:13Go!
01:24I'll call you as soon as you've been seen.
01:54She's leaving and there's nothing I can...
01:57Can someone help me, please?
01:58No!
01:58No!

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