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!
01:16No!
01:17No!
01:18No!
01:19No!
01:20No!
01:21No!
01:21Okay, so we gave her a drug called lorazepam to bring the seizure under control and now
01:48she's resting. But she's all right? Yep. Seizures always look far worse. How long did it last? How long? It was 20 minutes. 20 minutes? Okay, I want to reassure you as a friend that although it's alarming, a seizure like that, it's not unusual for an injury of this type. I promise you. The treatment you're giving her seems to be making her worse. That's not true. Jess, my daughter almost died in front of me. I handed her over to you.
02:18You were supposed to make her rhetoric. Now look at her. You know, you can't just walk in like that, don't you? Seriously, Jess. Lucy and the police, they could stop you seeing Betsy altogether if you did that again. Nobody wants that, but you do need to comply with what was agreed.
02:31I guess we're supposed to leave.
02:46I made passion for you.
03:23She was having a seizure, and I could have helped her. You shouldn't have stopped me.
03:31Me? Security had to remove you.
03:34You need to stop getting in the medical team's way.
03:39I can't defend you.
03:42Defend me?
03:43Because of how you're acting. Just let them do their job.
03:47They didn't do anything. They're clueless.
03:51Please, just stop it. You just made that entire situation so much worse.
03:56I did? How's that even possible? They already stopped me from seeing my own baby.
04:01Me too, remember? Me too. This isn't just happening to you.
04:07The doctors don't know what they're doing.
04:09If we lose Betsy, it's going to be your fucking fault.
04:14Mommy? Mom?
04:23Mommy?
04:26You coming?
04:27Mommy?
04:28Mommy?
04:29Mommy?
04:30Mommy?
04:31Mommy?
04:32Mommy?
04:33Mommy?
04:34Mommy?
04:35Mommy?
04:36Mommy?
04:37Mommy?
04:38Mommy?
04:39Mommy?
04:40Mommy?
04:41Mommy?
04:42Mommy?
04:43Mommy?
04:44Mommy?
04:45Mommy?
04:46Mommy?
04:47Mommy?
04:48Mommy?
04:49Mommy?
04:50Mommy?
04:51Mommy?
04:52Mommy?
04:53Mommy?
04:54Mommy?
04:55I don't know.
05:25I don't know.
05:33Louisa.
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.
05:49Be quick.
05:52Did 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.
06:01Are 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.
06:17Any 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 and she...
06:27She's been nothing but evasive.
06:30Sorry, who is this chap again?
06:33And what exactly does he mean to you?
06:40Nice to remember that costume you wore for the summer ball, what was it?
06:43Finals year?
06:44Oh.
06:45Yeah.
06:46Who you go as?
06:47It was Joan of Arc, actually.
06:49Of course it was.
06:50Of course you went as Joan of Arc.
06:52What, you had the little red skirt?
06:55What was that?
06:56Oh, just a cross covering your...
06:58Oh, Ed, it's not like you to be a prune.
07:01Whoa, come on.
07:02I'm not that bad, are they?
07:04Come on.
07:05You were all as bad as each other.
07:07Well, I'm sorry for being such an...
07:09I'm sorry for reprobating my youth.
07:14Are you sorry?
07:17We're putting a move on me too.
07:20All those times we...
07:22No, no, no, no regrets.
07:27Just a bit of...
07:30harmless fun, isn't it?
07:32Yeah.
07:33Except I did like you.
07:36A lot.
07:39The entire time we were at Oxford.
07:43Yeah.
07:45I thought...
07:46I thought we were just...
07:47No.
07:48I...
07:49I never knew that.
07:50Well, I thought it was pretty obvious.
07:53I don't...
07:54I 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.
08:07Would it have?
08:09Well, I always thought Ed and Charlotte had a slightly murky history.
08:13Just felt kind of obvious to me.
08:15Because, you know, the way she was around them.
08:17I was surprised Ed chose Jess.
08:20She was obsessed with creating the perfect home
08:23and being the perfect mother for their kids.
08:26Ed always liked an intellectual challenge.
08:29Yeah.
08:31I sensed you felt a bit...
08:35lost.
08:38You're...
08:39going into work.
08:41No choice, I'm afraid.
08:42Just...
08:43the boys have their medical this morning.
08:44Jess can go with you, surely?
08:48No, Jess is going up to the ward to be close to Betsy.
08:50I'm not allowed to take the boys...
08:52by myself.
08:54So you'd have to come anyway.
08:55I'm sorry.
08:56I gotta go.
08:57Well...
08:58Well...
09:03Have a good day, lads, yeah?
09:04Bye, Dad.
09:05See ya.
09:06Bye, Dad.
09:07Hiya, love.
09:08You guys want some juice?
09:09Mom, where's my pee kit?
09:10Um, I told Dad to put it in the dryer.
09:11Dad, it's in the dryer.
09:12It's wet.
09:13It's still wet.
09:14You didn't put it in the dryer.
09:15It's still wet.
09:16You didn't put it in the dryer.
09:17It's still wet.
09:18It's still wet.
09:19How's it going over there?
09:20Um, tense.
09:21Ed and Jess aren't really speaking this morning.
09:22Right.
09:23Well, they're putting you in a difficult position, aren't they?
09:24Yeah, well...
09:25Betsy's obviously really poorly.
09:26Still on.
09:27Still on.
09:28They shouldn't be making you feel so uncomfortable.
09:29Remind me again why you're doing this for the most poor people in the world.
09:34Well, don't.
09:35Don't.
09:36That's not fair.
09:37You've walked out.
09:38You've left me to manage the house, two kids, and all the stress of my work piled on top.
09:41It's too much to handle, Mal.
09:42Your timing couldn't have been worse.
09:43You love it.
09:44You love it, don't you?
09:45The drama of getting involved in other people's shit.
09:46Oh.
09:47Oh.
09:48Oh.
09:49Oh.
09:50Oh.
09:51Oh.
09:52Oh.
09:53Oh.
09:54Oh.
09:55Oh.
09:56Oh.
09:57Oh.
09:58Oh.
09:59Oh.
10:00Oh.
10:01Oh.
10:02Oh.
10:03Oh.
10:04Oh.
10:05Oh.
10:06Oh.
10:07Oh.
10:08Oh.
10:09Oh.
10:10Oh.
10:11Oh.
10:12Oh.
10:13Oh.
10:14Oh.
10:15Oh.
10:16Oh.
10:17Oh.
10:18Oh.
10:19Oh.
10:20Oh.
10:21Oh.
10:22Oh.
10:23Oh.
10:24Oh.
10:25Oh.
10:26Oh.
10:27Oh.
10:28Oh.
10:29Oh.
10:30Oh.
10:31Oh.
10:32The End
10:39Charles?
10:41Hi.
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?
10:49Our egg retrieval appointment is at three.
10:51How should I meet you?
10:52Er...
10:55No. No, no, don't bother.
10:58I've done it so many times at this point, it'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?
11:31So we'll see you next week.
11:32Thank you so much.
11:33Hi, Archie.
11:34Thank you, Mum.
11:35Mrs. Carrisford.
11:36Yes?
11:37Come in.
11:38She's at Thames Bank Hospital.
11:39But I wanted to see a pet moving her.
11:40If she's already in ICU, she's likely in the best place.
11:44She's clearly not.
11:45They don't seem to know how to help her.
11:46Her skull fracture's a serious injury.
11:47But they'll be very used to cases such as Betsy's.
11:48Your profile claims you're one of London's leading trauma consultants.
11:49Indeed.
11:50Please.
11:51Please.
11:52I just need you to get her out of there.
11:54I just need you to get her out of there.
11:55I'll see you.
11:56I'll see you later.
11:57I'll see you later.
11:58And then, if you're in ICU, she's likely in the best place.
11:59She's clearly not.
12:00They don't seem to know how to help her.
12:01Her skull fracture's a serious injury.
12:03But they'll be very used to cases such as Betsy's.
12:06Your profile claims you're one of London's leading trauma consultants.
12:10Indeed.
12:13Please.
12:18I just need you to get her out of there.
12:25So, where's Mum?
12:30I thought she was going to be here.
12:33Um, yeah, she, er...
12:36There we go.
12:38All done.
12:39Your turn, Frank.
12:41Okay.
12:42So, Frankie.
12:43Can you pop up on that bed for me over there, please?
12:46Here we go.
12:48Can you start by removing your school jumper from me, please?
12:55How'd you get that, Frankie?
12:57This bruise...
12:58Just here.
12:59See?
13:04In here.
13:06As if, um...
13:07If someone held you.
13:09Very firmly.
13:10Like that.
13:12Don't remember.
13:17That's okay.
13:18Um...
13:19I'll be back in one minute, okay?
13:21Okay.
13:22Okay.
13:23I'd, uh, like to take some pictures, please.
13:25If that's okay, with your permission, Miss Quinn.
13:33How 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.
13:42They'll have treated thousands of skull fractures like your daughters.
13:44Don't you have an urgent care department for children?
13:46For patients with non-life-threatening emergencies.
13:49And down the line, once Betsy's been discharged from ICU,
13:52I'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?
14:00I 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.
14:09You're off.
14:10You 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.
14:25Hey, you boys. Lucky you. Missing assembly on a Monday morning.
14:37You all right?
14:38Can 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 to do about what? What's happened?
14:50The boy's medical. They found bruises on Frankie's arm.
14:54Really? Well, how severe?
14:58It's normal, isn't it, for kids to have bumps and scrapes?
15:01No, like someone grabbed him.
15:03Okay. Well, did they seem alarmed?
15:07What 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
15:14when they came round ours, but...
15:16Foot what?
15:19Go on.
15:21I just... I found something.
15:23Found what?
15:24It's just something I saw.
15:28Do you know what? It's nothing.
15:29No, Mel. Mel, what are you trying to tell me? Tell me.
15:31I might have overreacted when I had a go at you yesterday, okay?
15:35They're not the perfect family, and Ed's not the easygoing guy we thought he was.
15:40And Jess...
15:42I'm in this horrible situation, and to be honest,
15:45I regret signing up for it.
15:47Yeah. Well, I know. I'm in exactly the same boat.
15:52Are you 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?
15:59Well, according to him, it's all happy families, perfect marriage.
16:09It sounds like he's full of it.
16:10Let's press him on it and see how he responds.
16:13Edward Carrisford, Attercy Management.
16:15He's not gonna like that we showed up at his office.
16:19...reporting disclosures.
16:22I don't remember, I don't know, just four and five.
16:25I think it'll be enlightening as we implement our task force on climate-related financial...
16:31...climate-related...
16:34...financial disclosures.
16:35I'm sorry, could you excuse me? I apologize.
16:46Something happened to Betsy?
16:48There's been no change in Betsy's condition. That's not why we're here.
16:51I just need to clarify a few things about Friday.
16:54This is DC Farron.
16:56Hi.
16:58How can I help you both?
17:00In your statement, you said that on the day Betsy was injured, you were in the office all day and then went out for a drink after work?
17:07Yes.
17:09We have a statement from a neighbour who saw you arriving home at lunchtime.
17:14Anything you can say to explain this?
17:17Uh, lunch.
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, no more 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?
17:45Just to spend some time together.
17:51Look, 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.
18:00I didn't say that.
18:04He's fine, he just works a lot.
18:06Do you know how Frankie got the bruises on his upper arms?
18:09No idea.
18:11But kids get bruises all the time, my little lad's covered in them.
18:14You said he went into the office today?
18:16Yeah.
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?
18:28I know about the seizures, yeah.
18:30But did she tell you that the medical staff had to call security on her?
18:35I didn't know that.
18:36But, but what?
18:38Did you pick up on something?
18:40Maybe tension between Mr. and Mrs. Carrisford?
18:42I understand that you bought your wife some flowers?
18:51These are the flowers that ended up in the bin.
18:55Okay.
18:56Okay.
18:57All right.
19:04Jess and I did have a bit of disagreement.
19:07What was that about?
19:10Nothing really.
19:12Who cares if the house isn't perfect or the toys aren't put away?
19:16Why is it so important to you?
19:19She needs you!
19:20She's teething for Christ's sake!
19:22I just don't understand why you're trying to make everything immaculate
19:25and Betsy is upstairs screaming!
19:31Oh, so you and your wife argue a lot?
19:32No more than the usual couple who have three small children, I imagine.
19:38Did you lose your temper?
19:39I 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
19:43into 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.
19:57Okay, what did you do after you went home on Friday?
20:03I'm sure you're about to tell me.
20:05You and Charlotte Hinman were seen on CCTV,
20:09entering the Terrain Bar on Drakefield Street at 1.52pm.
20:14Yeah, 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.
20:22It 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.
20:31Spent hundreds of pounds on wine, cocktails.
20:36Are you having an affair with Charlotte Hinman?
20:38No, I'm not.
20:40Well, would it have made any difference if you had figured it out?
20:43Well, I should probably go home.
20:53Yeah.
20:55To your darling wife and your three little angels.
21:00Is that why you and your wife were having an argument?
21:02No, 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?
21:12Well, Ed, 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?
21:25I don't think I should answer any more questions without a lawyer. I'm sorry.
21:33Jay!
21:35Can you show these officers out? Thank you.
21:36Of course.
21:37Follow me, please.
21:38Thank you so much.
21:42Letari, let me know.
21:43Back again already?
22:13Can't get rid of me.
22:18You look like crap, by the way.
22:20Thanks.
22:22I thought today was going to be quiet, but I must have been dreaming. It's rammed out there already.
22:30Okay.
22:36He puts on a good show, but I think we're dealing with a very angry manner.
22:41Maybe that's why his wife's traumatized.
22:45Whatever's going on, this is not a happy family.
22:50Hi.
22:55Let's get your IV started.
22:59Actually, sorry. I'm just going to get that.
23:06It's very natural to have some fear. Promise I'll make it quick.
23:12I've... I've changed my mind. Can I call the doctor?
23:17Such a narrow window for egg retrieval. I'd hate for you to...
23:20Yeah, no, I know. I've done this multiple times before, and...
23:23I've had enough, and I don't want to do it again. So thank you. Have a good day.
23:28And I'm really sorry to have wasted your time.
23:30Ed.
23:32Ed.
23:33Ed.
23:34Can you take a walk down to A&E?
23:3811-month-old, persistent fever, not responding to ibuprofen or paracetamol?
23:41I don't want to take a walk down to A&E.
23:4311-month-old, persistent fever, not responding to ibuprofen or paracetamol?
23:45I don't want to take a walk down to A&E.
23:47I don't want to take a walk down to A&E.
23:49And I'm really sorry to have wasted your time.
23:53Ed.
24:01Can you take a walk down to A&E?
24:0411-month-old, persistent fever, not responding to ibuprofen or paracetamol.
24:08What, UTI?
24:10No, no ear infection or upper rest.
24:14Are you okay?
24:16Why?
24:17You just seem a bit...
24:19What?
24:21I'm fucking tired.
24:22I don't want to be here on my sixth consecutive working day.
24:25And I look like shit.
24:26What's new?
24:38Hello.
24:39Hi.
24:40I am Dr. Burgess.
24:41This is Kyle.
24:42Is that right?
24:43Yeah.
24:44Not feeling too well.
24:45Got a bit of a fever.
24:46You, Mum.
24:47Do you want to tell me what's going on?
24:49No.
24:58Pat, over there!
24:59You're not going to get me, Lena!
25:00Where's your mum right now?
25:12Home?
25:13No, she's not.
25:14She's in prison.
25:16What did you say, Connor?
25:17What did you say, Connor?
25:18I said your mum's in prison for doing a really bad thing to your sister.
25:28Connor said what?
25:29Yeah, 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.
25:37He didn't mention anything.
25:38No, neither did Connor.
25:39Miss Harding...
25:41Well, Miss Harding mentioned the bruising on Frankie's arm.
25:47What bruising?
25:48I'm sorry.
25:49What bruising?
25:50I'm sorry.
25:51I couldn't get a hold of you.
25:52It seems Connor manhandled Frankie last week.
25:56They're going to think we hurt him.
25:58But we've had another incident this lunchtime.
26:01Kit became violent with Connor after Connor and Frankie had an argument.
26:07My overwhelming concern is for Frankie's wellbeing.
26:10He was extremely distraught.
26:14Took a long time to calm down.
26:16I'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.
26:23Yeah.
26:25Okay.
26:34I'm so mortified about Connor.
26:37The little shit.
26:40This is all you need.
26:42I'm going to 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...
26:54Do you fancy a coffee?
26:58Sure.
27:09Don't think for a second that your dad and I are not going to talk to you about this tonight.
27:13Whatever.
27:14Hey.
27:17Could you swipe it?
27:18Maybe tap isn't working.
27:19Sure.
27:20It's so weird.
27:21I know there's money on there.
27:22My partner transferred some last week.
27:23Sorry.
27:24Hang on.
27:25I've got, um, cashier somewhere.
27:26You all right, honey?
27:27Connor's not going to bother you again, alright?
27:28I'm not sure of it.
27:29Honey.
27:30Honey.
27:31If anything like this ever happens again, just come straight to me.
27:32I'm not sure of it.
27:33Honey.
27:34If anything like this ever happens again, just come straight to me.
27:35I'm not sure of it.
27:36I'm not sure of it.
27:37I'm not sure of it.
27:38I'm not sure of it.
27:39I'm not sure of it.
27:40I'm not sure of it.
27:41I'm not sure of it.
27:42I'm not sure of it.
27:43You all right, honey?
27:44Connor's not going to bother you again, alright?
27:45We're not sure of it.
27:46Honey.
27:47If anything like this ever happens again, just come straight to me.
27:49You can tell me anything.
28:02Okay?
28:03Anything.
28:04Okay.
28:05Anything.
28:06Okay.
28:08I'm not sure of it.
28:11Honey.
28:12I'm not sure of it.
28:14Honey.
28:15If anything like this ever happens again, just come straight to me.
28:18You know the night that Betsy got hurt?
28:25Careful.
28:27It's a bit hot.
28:30You're welcome.
28:48That was quick.
28:49What was it?
28:50Uh, yeah.
28:51It was hand, foot and mouth.
28:52Discharged him.
28:53So you got the results from the spinal tap back already?
28:58Didn't order a spinal tap.
29:01But you did a full work-up.
29:03There was no need.
29:05I 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.
29:16If you finish being a doctor, do you want to go and change the dressing on the little girl in number five?
29:21Frankie!
29:22Frankie!
29:23No, no, no!
29:24I remember coming here with the prams.
29:27On our knees with exhaustion.
29:28Yeah.
29:29Is Beth sleeping through the night yet?
29:30Not yet.
29:31Ugh.
29:32Sleep deprivation.
29:33Form of torture.
29:34I remember coming here with the prams, on our knees with exhaustion, yeah, is Beth sleeping
29:49through the night yet? Not yet. Ugh, sleep deprivation, form of torture. I was a mess after Connor
30:01was born, but I had to engage with people, lost all my confidence. Rob didn't even have
30:10a clue. Rob, he thought I was losing my mind. I've never actually told anyone any of that
30:18before. Well, I'm sorry you went through that. I didn't know. What have you ever thought
30:28about killing your own baby? Have you checked and double-checked that you didn't drop it
30:34down the stairs? Smothered it by mistake or suffocated it with its teddy bear? Look at that.
30:43Mum, look! Wow. That's cool. So many. That's amazing. They say you should leave your baby
30:59when you feel like that. Just put it down, lock the door, walk away and stay somewhere else
31:03until you feel calmer. But then the crying continues and all you want in that moment is for the
31:14child to be silent once and for all.
31:17I'd have done anything for silence. Well, almost anything.
31:35Look, a swing. I'll go first.
31:38Okay. Well, show us what you got, Kit.
31:40Do you, uh, do you ever have any worries like that?
31:54I got it! What do you mean? Kit, please be careful.
31:59Ready? One, two, three, four!
32:03I made it! Nice one, Kit.
32:05I made it!
32:08Or, I don't know, strange thoughts.
32:15I feel like we all feel like we're losing our minds sometimes, no?
32:20Look at me!
32:24Honey, sit down, okay?
32:26I, um, heard you and Ed arguing last night.
32:32Why is he blaming you?
32:37Okay, Kit, I'm not saying it again. Get down now. That's not safe.
32:43Jess, is there anything you want to tell me?
32:47Did Ed say something to you?
32:49No.
32:50I'm just asking as your friend.
32:53Have you said any of this to the social worker?
32:56No, I wouldn't do that. Look, Jess, I know that you're going through hell right now, and this might be a really stupid question.
33:07Are you sure you're okay?
33:09Ow!
33:11No!
33:12No!
33:13No!
33:13Get this!
33:14No!
33:15Are you okay?
33:16Get this!
33:17Get this!
33:18Get this!
33:19Oh, my God, get this!
33:21Get this!
33:21This way.
33:27Right, well, thank you very much. You've been extremely helpful.
33:30It's my absolute pleasure.
33:33Nice surprise to find you here.
33:38Don't forget what I said.
33:40I'm happy to represent you both, but if you want me to represent you alone, know that this will be an act of war against your marriage.
33:48I've got to get on.
33:51Yeah.
33:52Lovely to meet you.
33:53I'll see you soon.
33:54Bye, darling.
33:54Bye.
33:55Thank you so much.
33:56See you.
34:01Louise is the best, isn't she?
34:04Yeah.
34:05She's impressive.
34:08Listen, Charlotte, what exactly did you say to the police?
34:13I told them you said Jess was in a bad way.
34:16Oh, Christ.
34:17Why, Charlotte?
34:18Why did you say that?
34:19What?
34:19I didn't tell them about Friday because I didn't want them to know that we've been arguing, and now they know.
34:25Oh, my God.
34:25So I look like, you know.
34:26I'm sorry.
34:27I was trying to protect you.
34:29I'm sorry.
34:36Hi, sweetheart.
34:37You okay?
34:38No, it's not Jess.
34:40It's Mel.
34:41Oh, it's Jess all right?
34:43Jess is fine.
34:45Kit has broken his arm.
34:46What?
34:48Well, is he okay?
34:50He fell out of a tree he was climbing.
34:51It was no one's fault.
34:53Well, maybe it was mine, actually.
34:55Listen, I wanted to call you straight away, but my phone's, um, it's not working, so I'm, I'm on Jess's.
35:02We need to have a word.
35:19Kyle had a buy-you.
35:22Persistent fever which doesn't respond to paracetamol or ibuprofen.
35:27Unusual markings on the hands and feet.
35:29Yeah, I made a diagnosis.
35:31Fortunately, our nurses had the good sense to call me before you left the building.
35:36Meningitis, Dr. Burgess.
35:37It's not a care to you.
35:39Well, I know what hand, foot and mouth looks like.
35:41I wouldn't be happy with a junior doctor making these kind of mistakes, but 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.
36:01In 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, they stop allowing us to cope, and they consume us.
36:25Understood.
36:34Elizabeth.
36:39The test for Kyle at a buy-you came back in negative.
36:42He 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.
36:52For God's sake, get control of your drinking.
36:54Let's see.
37:12Let's see.
37:12Kerasford.
37:13Did you see her?
37:30No.
37:31Hi, sweetie.
37:32Where do you feel like?
37:34They said a doctor should be around any minute.
37:38Hello.
37:38Hello.
37:39I wasn't expecting to see you again so soon.
37:47So, I hear we may have a broken arm.
37:52How do we do that?
37:54I fell out of a tree.
37:56You fell out of a tree.
37:58Okay, let's see what we can do about that then.
38:01Given the protection plan, I will have to call social services, and the hospital has to put this on your file, as well as the consultation report from this morning.
38:15And I should warn you that things are likely to escalate as a result of all three of your children now showing indicators of abuse.
38:23Ed and Charlotte are on the way.
38:35You called out already?
38:37I had to.
38:40He's going to be furious.
38:42He won't.
38:42I told him it was an accident.
38:44Social services will say that I heard him.
38:50Two children in the hospital.
38:56And they're going to take the kids and put them in foster care.
39:09You're hungover.
39:11I can smell it.
39:12Oh, no.
39:13No, no, no.
39:13No more.
39:14Oh, it's early.
39:15Frankie and Sam, they won't do that.
39:18Maybe it's time to take a break from the alcohol.
39:20Let me be sloppy.
39:22Let me be lazy and drunk.
39:23Yeah, without 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.
39:42We're just waiting to be discharged.
39:43Okay, let me see if I can find someone to hurry it along.
39:46Thanks.
39:46What's Jess?
39:47Um, she went to grab a coffee.
39:50I actually already said goodbye, so is it okay if I head off?
39:52Yeah, of course.
39:53Thank you, Mel.
39:54Thank you, Mel.
39:56Shara can be me for the night.
39:58Shara can be me for the night.
39:58She's been pleased to prove, too.
40:00I really do appreciate everything you do.
40:04Listen, Ed.
40:06When you get home, there's something I think you need to see.
40:09What?
40:09Just on 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.
40:23Sorry.
40:24See you, darling.
40:24Okay, babe.
40:25See you, Tara.
40:25She's had a few more seizures this morning, but they're all under five minutes.
40:55She seems to have stabilised since Dr. Cockrell changed her medication.
41:00Yeah.
41:03I'll feed her.
41:06Okay.
41:16You're going to be home soon, baby.
41:22You should call Louisa, let her know what's going on.
41:25Now?
41:27You have two children in hospital, yes, now.
41:31You also need to start gathering as much evidence as you can.
41:33We need to indemnify you.
41:36We need to ensure that you maintain custody of these children if they go after Jess.
41:40I'm saying this is serious.
41:43To be quite frank, you have to admit, despite being married to her, she's an enigma.
41:49She's like an unknown quantity.
41:51How can you really know what she's capable of?
41:55It's all right.
41:56I think it's okay.
41:59Good si' ben.
42:01What?
42:02This is right.
42:02You not?
42:03Yeah.
42:12I can.
44:48Mommy's here.
45:00Mommy's here.
45:02Mommy!
45:04Mommy!
45:06Mommy!
45:08Mommy!
45:10Mommy!
45:12Mommy!
45:14Mommy!
45:16Mommy!
45:26Mommy!
45:30Mommy!
