00:01You just made me sign away our children.
00:03You started all of this!
00:05Someone in that house harmed that baby,
00:06and one of them's lying about it.
00:08No, just as much as I do.
00:09I've seen this kind of thing that's cool all the time.
00:11Violence is learned.
00:12Oh! It was an accident.
00:14I'm not having any more kids.
00:16I mean, seriously.
00:17I think I'll kill her.
00:19Does Mommy always lock away the knives?
00:22Hmm, depends how she feels like.
00:24Well, I do love Betsy, but...
00:26sometimes I do wish we never had another one.
00:29Betsy's having a seizure.
00:31Sheila, if she doesn't calm down, cool security.
00:32That's it, get her out!
00:34Please don't let her die!
00:58Oh, yay.
00:59You need to come back upstairs.
01:03Is she okay?
01:05Something else gone.
01:09We did everything we could.
01:11No!
01:12But she didn't make it.
01:13No!
01:14And there was no time to say goodbye.
01:15No!

02:01i want to reassure you as a friend that although it's alarming a seizure like that it's it's not

02:18you were supposed to make her better and not look at her you know you can't just walk in like that
02:22don't you seriously jess lucy and the police they could stop you seeing betsy all together
02:27if you did that again nobody wants that but you do need to comply with what was agreed
02:41so
02:47oh
02:49oh
02:51oh
02:53oh
02:55oh
02:57oh
02:59oh
03:01She was having a seizure, and I could have helped her.
03:30You shouldn't have stopped me.
03:31Me?
03:32Security had to remove you.
03:35You need to stop getting in the medical team's way.
03:39I can't defend you if you're going to...
03:42Defend me?
03:43Because of how you're acting.
03:45Just let them do their job.
03:47They didn't do anything.
03:49They're clueless.
03:51Please, just stop it.
03:53You just made that entire situation so much worse.
03:56I did?
03:57How's that even possible?
03:58They already stopped me from seeing my own baby.
04:00Me too, remember?
04:01Me too.
04:02This isn't just happening to you.
04:03The doctors don't know what they're doing.
04:05If we lose Betsy, it's going to be your fucking fault.
04:12Mommy!
04:13Mommy?
04:14Mom?
04:15Mommy?
04:16Mommy?
04:17Mommy?
04:18Mommy?
04:19Mommy?
04:20Mommy?
04:21You're coming?
04:22Mommy!
04:26You're cupping.
04:52You're cupping.
05:22You're cupping.
05:32Louisa.
05:34Hey.
05:35Hey.
05:36What brings you out?
05:37Not your usual day.
05:38I have a friend facing a difficult issue.
05:42Your friend is very welcome to come and talk to me when my schedule opens up.
05:47Come on, Lou.
05:50Be quick.
05:53Did you ever have a case where the mother harmed the child?
05:56Unintentionally, let's say.
05:58But social services took the child away from both parents.
06:02Are there any concerns about the father's ability to protect the child from further harm?
06:06Absolutely not.
06:07And the father can meet the child's needs and provide a safe environment?
06:11Yes and yes.
06:12And he's cooperating?
06:13With social services, yep.
06:15And police?
06:16Circling.
06:19Any suggestion of collusion between the mom and the dad?
06:21No.
06:22Well, that's the thing.
06:23He's been left entirely confounded by the whole situation.
06:25And she...
06:27She's been nothing but evasive.
06:31Sorry.
06:32Who is this chap again?
06:33And what exactly does he mean to you?
06:35I'm fine.
06:36What let's go with that girl.
06:40Nice to remember that costume you wore for the Summer ball box at finals year.
06:44Yeah!
06:45Who you guys?
06:46It was Joan of Arc, actually.
06:48Of course it was. Of course you went as Joan of Arc.
06:51What, you had the little red skirt?
06:54What was that?
06:56Oh, just a cross covering your...
06:58Oh, Ed, it's not like you to be a prune.
07:00Whoa, come on. Not that bad, was I?
07:03Come on, you were all as bad as each other.
07:06Well, I'm sorry for being such an...
07:10reprobating my youth.
07:13Are you sorry?
07:15We're putting a move on me, too.
07:19All those times we...
07:25No, no, no, no regrets.
07:28Just a bit of...
07:30harmless fun, isn't it?
07:32Yeah, except I did like you.
07:35A lot.
07:38The entire time we were at Oxford.
07:42I thought we were just...
07:46No, I never knew that.
07:48Well, I thought it was pretty obvious.
07:52I don't know what to say right now.
07:56Well, would it have made any difference if you had figured it out?
08:00I mean, not that it would have back then.
08:06Would it have?
08:08Well, I always thought Ed and Charlotte had a slightly murky history.
08:12It just felt kind of obvious to me.
08:15Because, you know, the way she was around him.
08:18I was surprised Ed chose Jess.
08:20She was obsessed with creating the perfect home and being the perfect mother for their kids.
08:25Ed always liked an intellectual challenge.
08:29I sensed you felt a bit...
08:35lost.
08:37You're...
08:39going into work?
08:41No choice, I'm afraid.
08:42Because the boys have their medical this morning.
08:44Jess can go with you, surely?
08:46No, Jess is going up to the ward to be close to Betsy.
08:50I'm not allowed to take the boys by myself.
08:53So you'd have to come anyway.
08:55I'm sorry.
08:56I've got to go.
08:57But...
08:58No.
09:03Have a good day, lads, yeah?
09:05Bye, Dad.
09:06See ya.
09:07Bye, Dad.
09:13Hiya, love.
09:14You guys want some juice?
09:16Mom, where's my pee kit?
09:18Um, I told Dad to put it in the dryer.
09:20Dad, it's in the dryer.
09:22It's wet.
09:23It's still wet.
09:24You didn't put it in the dryer.
09:25It's still wet.
09:26How's it going over there?
09:28Um...
09:29Tense.
09:30Ed and Jess aren't really speaking this morning.
09:33Right.
09:34Well, they're putting you in a difficult position, aren't they?
09:36Yeah, well...
09:37Betsy's obviously really poorly.
09:39Still on.
09:40Still on.
09:41They shouldn't be making you feel so uncomfortable.
09:45Remind me again why you're doing this for the most poor people in the world.
09:48Well, don't.
09:49That's not fair.
09:50Walked out.
09:51You've left me to manage the house, two kids, and all the stress of my work piled on top.
09:55It's too much to handle, Mal.
09:56Your timing couldn't have been worse.
09:57You love it.
09:58You love it, don't you?
09:59The drama of getting involved in other people's shit.
10:01Right, you boys done.
10:02Let me take those balls for you.
10:03You don't have to clean up after us.
10:05Come on, boys.
10:06Brush your teeth.
10:07I'm just trying to lend a hand.
10:08I know.
10:09But you're still a guest in this house.
10:10Sal?
10:11Sal?
10:14Come on, boys.
10:16Brush your teeth.
10:18I'm just trying to land a hand.
10:22I know.
10:24But you're still a guest in this house.
10:38Saul?
10:40Hi.
10:42Oh, I didn't realise you'd get out on the water.
10:44I thought you were on your way to work.
10:46Routine is the death of excitement, right?
10:48Our egg retrieval appointment is at three.
10:51Shall I meet you?
10:52Uh...
10:54No. No, no, don't bother.
10:57I've done it so many times at this point,
10:59it's like brushing my teeth.
11:01It's quite a serious procedure. You can't go alone.
11:03You'll only make it infinitely more stressful, my darling.
11:06I'll see you later, yeah?
11:10Oh!
11:12Yeah, that's right.
11:14So many times, but this is just a furnace...
11:16It's only a-
11:18close-up.
11:19I can't see you soon.
11:21Let me see you later.
11:22I know if you're in the house.
11:23I can't see you in the house.
11:24I can't see you later.
11:25I can't see you later.
11:26You're in the house.
11:28You're in the house again.
11:30You're in the house.
11:33So we'll see you next week.
11:41Thank you so much.
11:42Hi, Archie.
11:43Thank you, Mum.
11:45Mrs. Carrisford.
11:47Yes.
11:47Come in.
11:49She's at Thames Bank Hospital, but I wanted to see a pet moving her.
11:54If she's already in ICU, she's likely in the best place.
11:57She's clearly not.
11:59They don't seem to know how to help her.
12:00Her skull fracture is a serious injury.
12:03But they'll be very used to cases such as Betsy's.
12:05Your profile claims you're one of London's leading trauma consultants.
12:10Indeed.
12:14Please.
12:17I just need you to get her out of there.
12:30So where's Mum?
12:31I thought she was going to be here.
12:32And that is that.
12:34Um, yeah, she, uh...
12:37There we go.
12:38All done.
12:39Your turn, Frank.
12:42Okay.
12:42So, Frankie, can you pop up on that bed for me over there, please?
12:46There we go.
12:49Can you start by removing your school jumper from me, please?
12:52How'd you get that, Frankie?
12:53How'd you get that, Frankie?
12:55This bruise, just here.
12:58See?
12:59And here.
13:04As if, um...
13:06Um, if someone held you very firmly, like that?
13:11I don't remember.
13:13That's okay.
13:18Um, I'll be back in one minute, okay?
13:21Okay, I'd, uh, like to take some pictures, please.
13:25If that's okay, with your permission, Ms. Quinn.
13:27How do you know?
13:35What if they're not giving her the right drugs or the correct treatment?
13:39Thames Bank is a major trauma center that have treated thousands of skull fractures, like your daughter's.
13:44Don't you have an urgent care department for children?
13:47For patients with non-life-threatening emergencies.
13:50And down the line, once Betsy's been discharged from ICU, I'd be very happy to treat her here at my clinic.
13:55You're not listening to me.
13:57They're making her worse.
13:59Okay, I need you to tell her doctors that Betsy will receive advanced, better treatment here,
14:05and that, you know, you need to tell her social workers that she's better off.
14:08Wait, you mean she's in the care of social services?
14:13Mrs. Carrisford, if social services feel that you're not acting in your child's best interests,
14:18they can apply for Betsy to be placed under a care order,
14:21which means you'll lose any say in how you want your child to be treated.
14:32Hey, you boys. Lucky you. Missing assembly on a Monday morning.
14:36You all right? Can we play now?
14:39Yeah, of course. Go on. Just go on over there and do it.
14:44Thanks for coming in. I just... I wasn't sure what to do.
14:48What do you do about what? What's happened?
14:50The boy's medical. They found bruises on Frankie's arm.
14:54Really? Well, how severe?
14:57It's normal, isn't it, for kids to have bumps and scrapes.
15:00No, like someone grabbed him.
15:02Okay. Well, did they seem alarmed?
15:06What did Frankie say? Does he know how he got them?
15:09No. I mean, I remember Ed having to drag them out of the car on Saturday night when they came round ours, but...
15:16But what? Go on.
15:19I just... I found something.
15:22Found what?
15:23It's just something I saw.
15:27Do you know what? It's nothing.
15:28No, Mel. Mel, what are you trying to tell me? Tell me.
15:30I might have overreacted when I had a go at you yesterday, okay?
15:34They're not the perfect family, and Ed's not the easy-going guy we thought he was.
15:40And Jess...
15:42I'm in this horrible situation, and to be honest, I regret signing up for it.
15:46Yeah. Well, I know. I'm in exactly the same boat.
15:52You gonna mention it in your report?
15:54I've got a meeting with her as soon as I drop the boys off.
15:57What the hell do I tell her?
16:04Well, according to him, it's all happy families, perfect marriage.
16:08Well, it sounds like he's full of it.
16:10Let's press him on it and see how he responds.
16:12Edward Carrisford, advocacy management.
16:16He's not gonna like that we showed up at his office.
16:18Sustainability reporting explosions.
16:21I don't remember. It's four and five.
16:24I think it'll be enlightening as we implement our task force on climate-related financial...
16:29Just...
16:32Climate-related...
16:33Financial disclosures...
16:36I'm sorry. Could you excuse me?
16:38I apologize.
16:45Something happened to Betsy?
16:47There's been no change in Betsy's condition.
16:49That's not why we're here.
16:51You just need to clarify a few things about Friday.
16:54This is DC Farron.
16:55Hi.
16:57How can I help you both?
16:59In your statement, you said that on the day Betsy was injured,
17:02you were in the office all day and then went out for a drink after work?
17:07Yes.
17:08We have a statement from a neighbour who saw you arriving home at lunchtime.
17:12Anything you can say to explain this?
17:17Lunch.
17:19Um...
17:20Mr. Carrisford.
17:21No, right, right. Yes, no, I'm sorry. You're right.
17:22I did pop home briefly for lunch.
17:24More than 25 minutes, half an hour a month.
17:26And is it usual for you to pop home for lunch, Ed?
17:29No, not usually.
17:30But you did on that day, on the day Betsy got hurt.
17:34Yes, I did, yeah.
17:35Why would you choose to go home on that particular day?
17:39Because I wanted to see my wife.
17:42Specifically.
17:44Just to spend some time together.
17:47Look, Frank can be difficult, but Jess is great with him.
17:54That woman has the patience of a saint.
17:57And Mr. Carrisford's less patient.
17:59I didn't say that.
18:03He's fine, he just works a lot.
18:06Do you know how Frankie got the bruises on his upper arms?
18:08No idea.
18:10But kids get bruises all the time, my little lad's covered in them.
18:13You said he went into the office today?
18:15Yeah.
18:17I would have expected at least one of the parents to be present at the medical examination.
18:21Ed said he had to go into work.
18:25Did Mrs. Carrisford tell you about the incident at the hospital last night?
18:27I know about the seizures, yeah.
18:29But did she tell you that the medical staff had to call security on her?
18:34I didn't know that.
18:36But what?
18:38Did you pick up on something?
18:40Maybe tension between Mr. and Mrs. Carrisford?
18:48I understand that you bought your wife some flowers?
18:51These are the flowers that ended up in the bin.
18:55Okay, okay.
18:56All right.
19:04Jess and I did have a bit of disagreement.
19:06What was that about?
19:09Nothing really.
19:11Who cares if the house isn't perfect or the toys aren't put away?
19:16Why is it so important to you?
19:18She needs you.
19:19She's teething for Christ's sake.
19:20I just don't understand why you're trying to make everything immaculate and Betsy is upstairs screaming.
19:30Oh, so you and your wife argue a lot?
19:33No more than the usual couple who have three small children, I imagine.
19:37Did you lose your temper?
19:38I don't see how any of this is relevant.
19:40Well, it might be relevant because you and your wife are the subject of a police inquiry into how your daughter sustained a very serious head injury.
19:47What happened in the 30 minutes that you were at home on Friday, Ed?
19:49Nothing happened.
19:51I gave my wife the flowers, I kissed Betsy, she was fine.
19:54Well, she was agitated because she was teething, but she wasn't injured.
19:59Okay, what did you do after you went home on Friday?
20:02I'm sure you're about to tell me.
20:03You and Charlotte Hinman were seen on CCTV entering the Terrain Bar on Drakefield Street at 1.52pm.
20:13Yeah, she's a friend.
20:15Charlotte told us you know each other for a long time.
20:18Yeah, we went to uni together.
20:20Yeah, the two of you seemed very close.
20:23It was just a few drinks. I needed to blow off some steam.
20:26Really? Because the bar manager said you were in there for nearly eight hours.
20:30I spent hundreds of pounds on wine, cocktails.
20:36Are you having an affair with Charlotte Hinman?
20:37No, I'm not.
20:39Well, would it have made any difference if you had figured it out?
20:47Well, I should probably go home.
20:53Yeah.
20:55To your darling wife and your three little angels.
20:58Is that why you and your wife were having an argument?
21:01No, you have it completely wrong.
21:04I am not having an affair. I went home to my wife like I told you.
21:08You were inebriated that night. Did you take your frustrations out on Betsy?
21:12But at these things, they tend to happen.
21:14I don't appreciate what you're insinuating.
21:15We're not here to judge you.
21:16Really?
21:24I don't think I should answer any more questions without a lawyer. I'm sorry.
21:32Jane!
21:34Can you show these officers out? Thank you.
21:36Of course. Follow me, please.
21:37Thank you very much.
21:38Thank you very much.
22:11Back again already?
22:14You can't get rid of me.
22:17You look like crap, by the way.
22:19Thanks.
22:21I thought today was going to be quiet, but I must have been dreaming.
22:24It's rammed out there already.
22:25Okay.
22:36He puts on a good show, but...
22:38I think we're dealing with a very angry man.
22:41Maybe that's why his wife's traumatized.
22:45Whatever's going on, this is not a happy family.
22:56Welcome back.
23:07Hi.
23:13Let's get your IV started.
23:17Actually, sorry.
23:18I'm just going to, just get that...
23:21It's very natural to have some fear.
23:22It's very natural to have some fear. I promise I'll make it quick.
23:30I've...
23:32I've changed my mind.
23:34Can I call the doctor?
23:36Such a narrow window for egg retrieval. I'd hate for you to...
23:39Yeah, no, no, I know. I've done this multiple times before, and...
23:44I've had enough, and I don't want to do it again.
23:45So, thank you. Have a good day.
23:48And I'm really sorry to have wasted your time.
23:52Ed.
24:01Can you take a walk down to A&E?
24:0311-month-old, persistent fever, not responding to ibuprofen or paracetamol.
24:08What, UTI?
24:09No, no ear infection or upper rest.
24:14Are you okay?
24:15Why?
24:17You just seem a bit...
24:19What?
24:20I'm fucking tired. I don't want to be here on my sixth consecutive working day.
24:25And I look like shit. What's new?
24:27I don't want to be here.
24:38Hello. Hi. I am Dr. Burgess. This is Kyle. Is that right?
24:42Yeah.
24:43Not feeling too well. Got a bit of a fever. Are you mum?
24:46Do you want to tell me what's, er, what's going on?
24:49No.
24:58Ha! Over there!
25:04You're not gonna get me!
25:05In!
25:06Where's your mum right now?
25:11Home?
25:12No, she's not. She's in prison.
25:16What did you say, Connor?
25:17I said your mum's in prison for doing a really bad thing to your sister.
25:23Connor said what?
25:24Yeah, I'm sorry to say we've had some ongoing issues between Frankie and Connor recently.
25:34I didn't know Frankie and Connor weren't getting along. He didn't mention anything.
25:39No, neither did Connor.
25:40Miss Harding, er, well, Miss Harding mentioned the bruising on Frankie's arm.
25:46What bruising?
25:48I'm sorry.
25:49What bruising?
25:50I'm sorry. I couldn't get a hold of you.
25:51It seems Connor manhandled Frankie last week.
25:55They're gonna think we hurt him.
25:57But we've had another incident this lunchtime.
26:00Kit became violent with Connor after Connor and Frankie had an argument.
26:06My overwhelming concern is for Frankie's wellbeing.
26:09He was extremely distraught.
26:13Took a long time to calm down.
26:15I've asked the teachers to split the boys up, but I think it's best if we send Frankie and Kit home for the day.
26:22Yeah.
26:24Okay.
26:34I'm so mortified about Connor.
26:37The little shit.
26:39This is all you need.
26:41I'm gonna talk to him, okay?
26:43Alright.
26:45And I'm really sorry that you and Connor aren't getting on, Frank.
26:53Do you, um...
26:54Would you fancy a coffee?
26:57Sure.
26:58Don't think for a second that your dad and I are not gonna talk to you about this tonight.
27:13Whatever.
27:14Hey!
27:16Could you swipe us? Maybe tap isn't working.
27:19Sure.
27:20It's so weird. I know there's money on there. My partner transferred some last week. Sorry, hang on. I've got, um, cashier somewhere.
27:31You all right, honey?
27:32Connor's not gonna bother you again, all right? We're not sure of it.
27:48Honey.
27:49If anything like this ever happens again, just come straight to me.
28:01You can tell me anything.
28:06Okay?
28:07You know the night that Betsy got hurt?
28:25Careful. It's a bit hot.
28:29You're welcome.
28:30Well, that was quick. What was it?
28:50Uh, yeah, it was hand, foot and mouth. Discharged him.
28:56So you got the results from the spinal tap back already?
28:59Didn't order her a spinal tap.
29:02But you did a full workup.
29:04There was no need.
29:07I just always like to know what it was in the end.
29:10Unexplained fevers may make me nervous.
29:13It was hand, foot and mouth.
29:14If you finish being a doctor, do you want to go and change the dressing on the little girl in number five?
29:41I remember coming here with the prams.
29:44On her knees with exhaustion.
29:45Mm-hmm.
29:46Yeah.
29:49Is Beth sleeping through the night yet?
29:50Not yet.
29:52Ugh.
29:53Sleep deprivation.
29:55Form of torture.
29:59I was a mess after Connor was born.
30:02But I had to engage with people.
30:05Also my confidence.
30:09Rob didn't even have a clue.
30:11Rob, he thought I was losing my mind.
30:15I've never actually told anyone any of that before.
30:20Well, I'm sorry you went through that.
30:23I didn't know.
30:27But have you ever thought about killing your own baby?
30:31Have you checked and double checked that you didn't drop it down the stairs?
30:34Smothered it by mistake or suffocated it with its teddy bear?
30:41Mom!
30:42Mom!
30:43Look at that.
30:44Mom, look!
30:47Wow.
30:48That's cool.
30:49There's so many.
30:50That's amazing.
30:51They say you should leave your baby when you feel like that.
31:00Just put it down, lock the door, walk away and stay somewhere else until you feel calmer.
31:04Come on.
31:05Yeah.
31:06But then the crying continues and all you want in that moment is for the child to be silent once and for all.
31:17I'd have done anything for silence.
31:31Well, almost anything.
31:33Look!
31:34This wing!
31:35I'll go first.
31:36Okay.
31:37Oh, show us what you got, Kit.
31:38Do you have...
31:39Do you ever have any worries like that?
31:40I got it!
31:41What do you mean?
31:42Kid, please be careful.
31:43Oh.
31:44Ready?
31:45One, two, three.
31:46Whoosh!
31:47I made it!
31:48Nice one, Kit.
31:49Or...
31:50I don't know.
31:51I don't know.
31:52I don't know.
31:53I don't know.
31:54Do you have any worries like that?
31:55Do you have...
31:56Do you ever have any worries like that?
31:57I got it!
31:58What do you mean?
31:59Kid, please be careful.
32:00Oh.
32:01Ready?
32:02One, two, three, whoosh!
32:03I made it!
32:04Nice one, Kit.
32:06Or...
32:08I don't know.
32:09Strange thoughts.
32:15I feel like we all feel like we're losing our minds sometimes, no?
32:20Look at me!
32:23Honey, sit down, okay?
32:26I, um...
32:28I heard you and Ed arguing last night.
32:33Why is he blaming you?
32:36Okay, Kit, I'm not saying it again.
32:38Get down now.
32:39That's not safe.
32:43Jess.
32:44Is there anything you want to tell me?
32:47Did Ed say something to you?
32:48No.
32:49I'm just asking as your friend.
32:52Have you said any of this to the social worker?
32:56No, I wouldn't do that.
32:57Look, Jess.
32:58I know that you're going through hell right now.
33:01And...
33:02This...
33:03Might be a really stupid question.
33:07Are you sure you're okay?
33:09Ow!
33:11No!
33:12No!
33:13No!
33:14No!
33:15No!
33:16Are you okay?
33:17Get dead!
33:18Get dead!
33:19Oh, my God!
33:20Get dead!
33:21This way.
33:22Right.
33:23Well, thank you very much.
33:24You've been extremely helpful.
33:25It's my absolute pleasure.
33:26Nice surprise to find you here.
33:27Don't forget what I said.
33:28I'm happy to represent you both.
33:29But if you want me to represent you alone, know that this will be an act of war against your marriage.
33:35I've got to get on.
33:36Yeah.
33:37Lovely to meet you.
33:39I'll see you soon.
33:40Bye, darling.
33:41Bye.
33:42Thanks so much.
33:44See you.
33:45Louise is the best, isn't she?
33:46Yeah.
33:47She's impressive.
33:48Listen, Charlotte.
33:49What exactly did you say to the police?
33:51I told them you said Jess was in a position.
33:52You didn't know how to do the police.
33:53You didn't know how to do the police.
33:54I would have to say, you don't know how to do the police.
33:55You know how to do the police.
33:56I know that this will be an act of war against your marriage.
33:57I've got to get on.
33:58Yeah.
33:59Lovely to meet you.
34:01I'll see you soon.
34:02Bye, darling.
34:03Bye, it's good.
34:04You're right.
34:05Bye.
34:06Bye.
34:07Bye.
34:08Bye.
34:09Bye.
34:10Bye.
34:11Bye.
34:12Bye.
34:13Bye.
34:14Bye.
34:15Oh, Christ. Why, Charlotte? Why did you say that?
34:18What?
34:19I didn't tell them about Friday,
34:20because I didn't want them to know that we've been arguing,
34:23and now they know.
34:24Oh, my God.
34:25So I look like...
34:26Oh, I'm sorry. I was trying to protect you.
34:28I...
34:30Sorry.
34:35Uh, yeah, hi. Sweetheart. Sweetheart, you okay?
34:38No, it's, uh, not Jess. It's Mel.
34:40Oh, it's... Is Jess all right?
34:43Jess is fine. Um, Kit has broken his arm.
34:46What?
34:48Oh, is he okay?
34:49He fell out of a tree. He was climbing. It was no one's fault.
34:52Well, maybe it was mine, actually.
34:55Listen, I wanted to call you straight away, but my phone's, um...
34:59It's not working, so I'm... I'm on Jess's.
35:13It's not working.
35:18We need to have a word.
35:21Kyle had a bayou.
35:23Persistent fever, which doesn't respond to paracetamol or ibuprofen.
35:28Unusual markings on the hands and feet.
35:30Yeah, I made your diagnosis.
35:31Fortunately, our nurses had the good sense to call me before you left the building.
35:35Meningesis, Dr. Burgess. Not a care to you.
35:38Well, I know what hand, foot and mouth looks like.
35:40I wouldn't be happy with a junior doctor making these kind of mistakes,
35:43but you're hoping to make consultants in the next year or two, aren't you?
35:45The rash wasn't consistent with meningitis.
35:47Did you check his eyelids?
35:50You've not been focused since that baby came in.
35:53You're hung over.
35:55I can smell it.
35:56In my defense, I wasn't even scheduled to be working today.
36:09I got through my junior residency high as a kite and extravagant cocktail of alcohol and drugs.
36:14We all have our coping mechanisms, but in the end,
36:18they stop allowing us to cope.
36:21And they consume us.
36:22I understand.
36:25Understood.
36:33Elizabeth.
36:39The test for Kyla to buy you came back negative.
36:41He doesn't have meningitis.
36:43You have excellent instincts, but you must follow procedure.
36:48If you've been wrong, we'd have had a lawsuit on our hands.
36:50For God's sake, get control of your drinking.
36:53You have control of your drinking.
37:11Betsy Carrisford.
37:14Did you see her?
37:15No.
37:16Hi, sweetie.
37:17Where are you feeling?
37:18They said a doctor should be around any minute.
37:19Hello.
37:21I wasn't expecting to see you again so soon.
37:26So, I hear we may have a broken arm.
37:31How do we do that?
37:32I fell out of a tree.
37:33You fell out of a tree.
37:34You fell out of a tree.
37:35Okay, let's see what we can do about that then.
37:38Given the protection plan, I will have to call the doctor.
37:39I will have to call the doctor.
37:40Okay, let's see what we can do about that then.
37:41Given the protection plan, I will have to call the doctor.
37:42Hello.
37:43Hello.
37:44Hello.
37:45I wasn't expecting to see you again so soon.
37:47I wasn't expecting to see you again so soon.
37:48So, I hear we may have a broken arm.
37:51How do we do that?
37:52I fell out of a tree.
37:53You fell out of a tree.
37:54Okay, let's see what we can do about that then.
38:05Given the protection plan, I will have to call social services.
38:09And the hospital has to put this on your file.
38:12As well as the consultation report from this morning.
38:14And I should warn you that things are likely to escalate.
38:19As a result of all three of your children now showing indicators of abuse.
38:32Ed and Charlotte are on the way.
38:35You called out already?
38:37I had to.
38:40He's gonna be furious.
38:41He won't.
38:42I told him it was an accident.
38:46Social services will say that I heard him.
38:50Two children in the hospital.
38:56They're gonna take the kids and put them in foster care.
39:09You're hungover.
39:10I can smell it.
39:11Oh, no.
39:12No, no, no.
39:13No more.
39:14What?
39:15It's early.
39:16Frankie and Sam.
39:17They wanted her.
39:18Maybe it's time to take a break from the alcohol.
39:20Let me be sloppy.
39:21Let me be lazy and drunk.
39:23Yeah.
39:24Without all the comments.
39:25You're acting just like your mom.
39:27Fuck off.
39:28Liz, do you think we could see another doctor?
39:32For God's sake, get control of your drinking.
39:40He's been ready to go for the last hour. We're just waiting to be discharged.
39:43Okay, let me see if I can find someone to hurry it along.
39:45Thanks.
39:46Where's Jess?
39:47She went to grab a coffee.
39:49I actually already said goodbye, so is it okay if I head off?
39:52Yeah, of course.
39:53Thank you, Mel.
39:54The shower can be me for the night.
39:55She's been pleased to prove, too.
39:56I really do appreciate everything you do.
40:00Listen, Ed, when you get home, there's something I think you need to see.
40:09What?
40:10Just stop.
40:11On the laptop, check the search history.
40:15What do you mean, why?
40:16Just check it.
40:17Perfect.
40:18I've just managed to thoroughly piss off the nurse in charge, so it looks like we're going
40:21to be here for longer than we thought. Sorry.
40:23See you, darling.
40:24Okay, babe.
40:25See you tomorrow.
40:26Yeah, nice.
40:41She's had a few more seizures this morning, but they're all under five minutes.
40:56She seems to have stabilised since Dr. Cockrell changed her medication.
41:00Yeah.
41:02I'll feed her.
41:05Okay.
41:10You're going to be home soon, baby.
41:22You should call Louisa.
41:23Let her know what's going on.
41:25Now?
41:26You have two children in hospital, yes, now.
41:30You also need to start gathering as much evidence as you can.
41:33We need to indemnify you.
41:35We need to ensure that you maintain custody of these children if they go after Jack.
41:39I'm saying this is serious.
41:41To be quite frank, you have to admit, despite being married to her, she's an enigma.
41:48She's like an unknown quantity.
41:50How can you really know what she's capable of?
41:51How can you really know what she's capable of?
41:55Ready?
41:56You need both.
41:57Your worth is left.
41:58My questions.
41:59Where are we?
42:00You know you need them out.
42:01I don't just know it.
42:03You can't don't actually live.
42:04You're listening.
42:05You want to remember to hear it?
42:07It's like it.
42:08I don't miss other folks.
42:09Okay.
42:10You're listening.
42:11You're listening to her rant.
43:12Yes, because of the nature of Betsy's injuries, I'm afraid social services have been called in.
43:35Sorry, please don't pick her up.
43:37How could you make that?
43:38Sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
43:40But you won't be able to see your children in the meantime.
43:41They can apply for Betsy to be placed under a care room.
43:44Well, then we apply it to the family court.
43:45Things are likely to escalate.
43:47I know this isn't what you want to hear.
43:48You'll lose any say in how you want your child to be treated.
43:50They say I should take away her sons and put them into foster care.
43:53If she doesn't calm down, call security.
43:55You're making her worse.
43:56Yeah, but I couldn't give you special treatment just because you're my friend.
43:58If we lose Betsy, it's going to be your fucking fault.
44:02You're killing her.
44:03You're killing her.
44:04You're killing her.
44:34Mom, he's here.
45:01Mom, he's here.
45:04Mom, he's here.
45:34Mom, I'm here.
46:03Oh, my God.
