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