00:00I always thought that Jess was the perfect mother.
00:16I forgot that perfection is an illusion.
00:21Something created, filtered and tweaked, and then something happens, some tiny mishap,
00:31some little disaster, that at first seems trivial, and the illusion starts to crumble.
00:38And suddenly, you look at this perfect mother and you ask yourself, what else does she hide
00:49behind it?
00:50Sorry.
00:51I'm sorry.
00:52I'll call you as soon as you've been seen.

02:46oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
03:09We see lots of cases like this.
03:11A couple of days of intravenous antibiotics, maybe another course at home, he's going to
03:14be fine.
03:16You are needed in A&E.
03:19Little girl, ten months old, subdued, immobile, vomiting,
03:22but no fever.
03:24She's in cubicle five with mum.
03:26Cubicle five? Yeah.
03:32You know what's worse than a screaming baby?
03:34It's A&E on a Friday night.
03:35No-one wants to be there.
03:37Especially the doctors.
03:46Can we discharge him?
03:53Jess.
03:54Oh, God.
03:55Hi. Hello.
03:58Um, well, I'd say it was good to see you, but...
04:01Obviously.
04:03Hmm. Yeah.
04:05Liz, um...
04:06Do you think we could see another doctor?
04:08Do you... You know, we know each other, so...
04:11Yeah. Um...
04:13I'm afraid there isn't one free right now.
04:15Do you want me to carry on, or...?
04:17Of course. Of course.
04:18I didn't mean to offend you.
04:22Hello, Betsy.
04:24Mm.
04:25Tell me what's wrong.
04:27I don't know. I was asleep and Ed woke me,
04:29said she'd been sick.
04:32It's probably nothing, some sort of virus.
04:35I shouldn't have brought her in, but he insisted.
04:39How long's she been like this?
04:41Uh, I suppose she was a bit grisly at...
04:46..bedtime, but...
04:48And, um, when was she sick?
04:52Approximately.
04:55I don't know.
04:58Well, it's OK.
04:59It's a nightmare keeping up with them at this age.
05:02I am going to just call a colleague in
05:04while I do a physical examination of Betsy.
05:06It's standard procedure, just have someone else present, OK?
05:10Dr Morris.
05:12Got a second for a little exam?
05:14Yeah.
05:15SHE WHISPERS
05:17Are you OK, honey?
05:23OK, this is Dr Morris, this is Mrs Carisford,
05:27and this is Betsy.
05:28Hey, what's this?
05:30What's this?
05:32Oh!
05:34OK, this bit might tickle.
05:36SHE WHIMPERS
05:38SHE GASPS
05:39SHE SOBS
05:42SHE SCREAMS
05:44Hey.
05:46SHE SOBBING
05:48SHE SOBS
05:50SHE SOBS
05:52SHE SOBS
05:54SHE SOBS
05:56SHE SOBS
05:57SHE SOBS
06:01SHE SOBS
06:02I've got a boggy swelling, Rose.
06:09What?
06:10Did Betsy bump her head?
06:15Jess, could Betsy have had some kind of accident?
06:20No. No.
06:24She's got some swelling on the back of her head.
06:27Maybe some bruising.
06:31Actually, yeah, she did bang her head earlier.
06:35I just didn't think it was serious.
06:37How?
06:39She slept and banged it.
06:44What time was this?
06:47Like 5, 5.30 maybe.
06:52And where was she when this happened?
06:56She was crawling in the living room.
06:58I think she must have, 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 was gone for a second.
07:14Okay, I can take it from here. Thanks, Rona.
07:17Do you want me to get you warm?
07:18Should we keep you warm?
07:24It's okay.
07:25Accidents happen, right?
07:28Tell me again.
07:29You were in the kitchen and Betsy was in the living room and then...
07:33I mean, I can't watch them every second, you know?
07:40I heard a thud, but I didn't think she'd hurt herself.
07:46Is it bad?
07:58It's the middle of the night.
08:01I expect to be woken up by my junior doctors, but I had hoped for a little restraint from you, Dr Burgess.
08:08Yeah, sorry to bother you.
08:10Just give me the detail.
08:11Ten months old, suspected skull fracture, significant bruising.
08:16Is the wound bleeding?
08:17No, child's responsive, but reduced activity compared to normal.
08:21How did it happen?
08:24Mum said she slipped while crawling, trying to pull herself up.
08:28Crawling on what, a cliff?
08:30The paramedics came in immediately, I heard.
08:33No.
08:35Happened around 5.30. Mum came to A&E about 10.15.
08:39A delay of nearly five hours.
08:42I know.
08:45I'm just waiting on the CT scan, but if it is a fracture...
08:49Then she didn't slip crawling.
08:54It's just that Mum's a friend of mine.
08:57Ah, well, then that makes things a lot more difficult.
09:03But, as senior registrar, I'm afraid you're the only one that can make the decision, Elizabeth.
09:08We'll discuss it at handover.
09:10Okay.
09:15Yeah, Jess isn't a great believer in modern medicine.
09:18She's the last person you'd expect to see in A&E with her kids.
09:26But that night, she was...
09:29She was nothing like the Jess I met 11 years ago.
09:34Hello. Hi.
09:37I'm so sorry, my husband's running behind.
09:40Should we wait for him?
09:42Oh, no, no, it's fine. I don't want to hold everybody up.
09:45So, let's start by introducing ourselves and explaining what we'd like to get out of this course.
09:51Well, a baby, ideally.
09:55Yeah, I'm Jess.
09:58And I'm here because I want to be the best mum that I can be.
10:05And I want to learn how to be a better parent than my own.
10:11And, yeah, I just want my little boy to know that he's the absolute centre of my world.
10:17Thanks.
10:19I'm Liz.
10:21Yeah, I suppose I feel the same.
10:24I...
10:26Um...
10:28Yeah, I just want to leave here feeling confident that I can be that sort of mother.
10:35Yeah.
10:37So, I'm Liz.
10:39And I'm here because I want to be the best mum that I can be.
10:45Yeah.
10:49Hello.
10:51Hello.
10:53Um, hi.
10:56This is really embarrassing, but I'm stuck on the loo.
11:01Is this Liz?
11:03Jess?
11:04Yeah.
11:06Oh, I can't... I just can't get myself back up. They're so small and low.
11:12I'm sorry, I don't know why I'm laughing. Do you need a hand?
11:15Um, yeah. Like, if I unlock the door, would it be too weird for you to pull me up?
11:20No, of course not. Of course not.
11:25Hi.
11:27I'm so sorry.
11:33Oh, thank God. Thank you.
11:35You all right?
11:36Yes.
11:38That is, um... That's properly mortifying.
11:42And to top it all off, I needed a wee through the entire thing.
11:46I know. People kept asking questions.
11:49Yeah, and I didn't want to miss anything important.
11:51So true. I don't really have any friends nearby that have babies.
11:55And my family's, like, 3,000 miles away, so...
11:58Oh, well.
12:00If there's any consolation, my mum lives around the corner and she is no sod in use.
12:06Well, that's it, then.
12:10What's it?
12:12You and I are going to be friends after this.
12:15OK. Well, then, I'm down for that.
12:28Oh, I'm admitting the baby from A&E into ICU, so we need to prep for arrival, please.
12:33Baby's less interactive than normal.
12:35She's vomited once. Ronan's going to do some blood, so...
12:38And I've already ordered a CT scan.
12:40Head injury?
12:41Yeah, significant bruising. Could be a fracture.
12:44Poor kid.
12:46Jess, the mum said she did it whilst crawling,
12:49like she tried to pull herself up and fell.
12:53That doesn't add up.
12:55Oh, God, I hate these cases.
12:58Social services are going to be all over it.
13:03What is it?
13:06She's a really close friend of mine.
13:08Oh.
13:10Yeah. Look, we've been on holiday together and everything.
13:12We've been through two pregnancies. Our kids are in the same class.
13:16She's the perfect mum.
13:18Look, you are not her friend right now.
13:22That baby's doctor.
13:25OK, let's get her upstairs, shall we?
13:29Where's Mum?
13:41How's the baby? Have you seen her?
13:43Well, she's had an initial assessment.
13:48And?
13:50Well, she's had an initial assessment.
13:55And what have they said?
13:57Not much. It's chaos here.
14:00I'm not surprised.
14:02Any idea what's wrong with her?
14:04No, not yet.
14:06The hospital, it didn't go into details. I don't know.
14:14I've got to go.
14:16Jess.
14:21OK, so we're going to take her for a CT scan now
14:24and then we're going to pop her up on the ward.
14:26You ready?
14:28OK.
14:31Mum is here, OK?
14:33You'll be fine.
14:43The whole night, I had, like, this lump in my throat right here.
14:47I couldn't shift. I couldn't swallow it.
14:51I started to think the worst.
14:57Is it definitely a fracture?
14:59Yeah.
15:01And a significant one.
15:05See, instead of the nice curved white line of the skull,
15:08you can see the partially depressed fracture just here.
15:12And a subdural haematoma.
15:15Yeah. I see it.
15:20This was textbook.
15:22In any other case, I would say someone had hurt this baby.
15:25Parents can do some terrible things in moments of frustration.
15:32So I asked myself,
15:35is it completely inconceivable that that's what's happened here?
15:45PHONE RINGS
15:55Jess?
16:00How is she?
16:02I'm afraid the scan has confirmed that Betsy does have a skull fracture
16:06and a bleed.
16:08Oh, my God.
16:10What?
16:12Oh, my God.
16:14So we're going to need to keep Betsy in under observation
16:17and try and keep her completely still.
16:19The next 48 hours are critical.
16:23Critical? Yeah.
16:26Betsy's got a bruise and it's pressing on her brain,
16:29so we really need to try and get that swelling down
16:31just to prevent any more damage.
16:34Baby.
16:38Jess, we need to talk about how this might have happened.
16:43Now, it's unlikely that a head injury like this
16:45was sustained from a simple fall.
16:47Toddlers fall all the time.
16:50Are you sure there's nothing else that happened?
16:54Maybe she fell down the stairs or rolled off her bed.
16:57These things happen, Jess.
17:00Remember when Rosa slipped in the bath and got a concussion?
17:03I felt like the worst mum in the world, but...
17:08Is there anything, anything at all that you need to say to me?
17:13I won't judge.
17:15Please, you can tell me anything.
17:17If you can think of something that might help, this is your last chance.
17:25Jess?
17:31Could anyone have hurt Betsy?
17:37No.
17:43My sweetie.
18:00I love you.
18:31Yeah, hi, this is Dr Burgess from the paediatric department
18:35at Thames Bank Hospital.
18:37We've had a little girl come in with a fractured skull
18:40and no real explanation of how it happened.
18:43If the duty social worker could come as soon as possible,
18:46that would be really helpful, thanks.
18:52She didn't have to make the call.
18:54She had to make the call.
18:56She didn't have to make the call.
18:58She had to make the call.
19:27Jess, Jess, wake up. There's something wrong with her.
19:30You need to take Betsy to the hospital.
19:32What happened?
19:34Didn't you hear her cry?
19:36Hey, get up.
19:40I don't know what's going on.
19:49I'd take her, but I'm over the limit.
19:56Jess!
20:03What are you doing? You're brushing your hair?
20:06Is this serious?
20:08Come on.
20:10Sweetie.
20:27BEEPING
20:39Dad, I'm starving.
20:41What do you want for breakfast? Eggs? Toast?
20:44Where's Betsy, Mummy?
20:46Right, let's do scrambled eggs, then.
20:48Frankie doesn't eat scrambled eggs.
20:50He only eats boiled eggs, and they have to be exactly right
20:53or they make him feel sick.
20:55Where are they?
20:57Where's Mummy?
20:59Betsy was poorly, so Mummy took her to the hospital
21:02so the doctors can make her feel better, all right?
21:07Hey, hey, hey, hey. It's all right.
21:09Don't worry, child.
21:11She's going to be fine.
21:13She'll be fine.
21:19But, Dad, they'll be back for my party, right?
21:26Yeah.
21:28Can I have this, please?
21:34You guys have done? Yep.
21:36Thank you very much.
21:40Hiya, Mummy.
21:42Oh, thank you.
21:48Take care.
21:56Where have you been all night?
21:58Out. Working.
22:01Trying to fucking sign someone.
22:03No call, no text.
22:05Oh, my God!
22:07Look, I can't win, can I?
22:09Because if I texted you at 2am,
22:11you'd be pissed off at me for waking you up, so...
22:13Don't make this about me, Rob.
22:19Is anyone going to get that?
22:26I've been calling her for 15 minutes.
22:29See what these guys are up to.
22:31Hi, guys. Look who I found on the doorstep.
22:33Oh, shouldn't I take my shoes off?
22:35No, no, no, you're fine. Don't worry about it.
22:37Do you ever answer your phone? Come on, you ready?
22:39Ready for what? Ed called. He needs help setting up.
22:41You are the creative, and you know I am dreadful at kids' parties.
22:44No, you're not. You're just too busy doing a big girl's job.
22:46Why would they need our help?
22:48Jess has been planning this party for literally months.
22:50Well, you know what the NHS is like.
22:52Betsy probably hasn't even been seen yet.
22:54What do you mean?
22:57Jess is in A&E with Betsy.
22:59Oh, no.
23:00There's nothing serious, is there?
23:02I honestly don't know.
23:04I'm quite surprised, to be honest with you.
23:06You know, Jess, usually it's all elderberry syrup.
23:11They're not cancelling the party.
23:13Well, would you like to be the one to tell an eight-year-old
23:15who may or may not be on the spectrum
23:18that his party's cancelled?
23:21What a clusterfuck.
23:25What about your birthing plan?
23:27Oh.
23:29I would like not to die.
23:32Very.
23:33Yeah, and I'd like the baby not to die, obviously.
23:35That would be most important.
23:38And then I'd like just painkillers.
23:40All of the painkillers.
23:42All the drugs.
23:43Well, due to my work schedule, I will be...
23:45Well, I've planned an induction several days before my due date.
23:49I will be birthing George
23:51in the Macpherson wing at Brook General.
23:54It's really popular with the royals.
23:56Yes.
23:57And who would you like to be present?
24:01Um...
24:02I suppose Andrew will be there.
24:04Andrew will?
24:05Yes.
24:06Well done, Andrew.
24:08And, I mean, ideally, I really would like to get back to work
24:11sort of three to six months afterwards.
24:14I'm a partner at a major law firm, so...
24:18Wow.
24:19So that's me.
24:21Thanks.
24:22Um, I...
24:24I don't have a birth plan.
24:25I'm sorry, I didn't...
24:26That's OK.
24:27Or much of a clue.
24:30Do you know what?
24:31Actually, this wasn't planned, so we are just winging it.
24:35Sorry.
24:36Sorry.
24:37Hello, darling.
24:38Hi.
24:40Hello, everyone.
24:41Sorry I'm late.
24:42District 9 was off.
24:43Hi.
24:44What did I miss?
24:46Webber?
24:47Hi.
24:48Charlotte Webber?
24:49Yes.
24:50What a coincidence.
24:51Sorry, actually, it's Hinman now, obviously.
24:54Oh, yeah.
24:55Yeah.
24:56Charlotte and I went to uni together.
24:58Oh, wow.
24:59That's crazy.
25:00Sorry, and you are?
25:01Sorry, Ed.
25:02Jess is less than half.
25:03Ed Hyatt.
25:05And, Jess, why didn't you tell us about your birthing plan?
25:10Well, I think we'd like a home birth.
25:14So it's just going to be me and Ed,
25:17our midwife and my doula.
25:20As for music, a bit of 80s pop.
25:24I know it's a bit cheesy, but I do love a bit of George Michael.
25:27Yeah.
25:29And I want as little intervention as possible.
25:32I just want it to be really peaceful.
25:34I'm sorry, but I'm a bit scared of hospitals.
25:38No, they scare me, and I work in one.
25:42Ed's not really into babies.
25:44He prefers kids when they're old enough to kick a ball around with.
25:47I find the earth mother types to be the most unhinged.
25:51When did you meet him?
25:53Not been together very long.
25:54Morning, Sheila.
25:55Morning.
25:57Liz is waiting to speak to you.
26:00It's been one of those nights.
26:18Well, Dr Burgess, what did you decide?
26:22CT scan confirmed my suspicions.
26:26It is a skull fracture,
26:28so I've alerted child protection, they're on their way.
26:31I applaud your swift judgement.
26:38I did what any good doctor would do.
26:41Would you like to inform the mother that social services are about to descend?
26:45Or would you like me to?
26:50I'll do it.
27:05Lucy, hi.
27:06Hi.
27:07Thanks for coming.
27:08Neil's waiting in the office,
27:10but I just wondered if we could have a quick chat before the meeting.
27:14Thing is, I know the mum personally.
27:16It's not a good idea, Liz.
27:19She's an old friend.
27:20I know the family really well and she is a great mum,
27:22so I just think there must be some other explanation.
27:26Let's save it for the meeting, shall we?
27:29Yeah.
27:33The mechanism of the fall doesn't match the injuries.
27:36The child would have been in considerable distress.
27:39A mum's failure to bring the baby in is alarming.
27:42She's just...
27:43She's never been keen on the medical establishment, that's all.
27:46She's always felt like that.
27:48What Elizabeth's trying to say
27:49is that the baby hasn't been seen by a medical professional since birth.
27:52Not one?
27:53Nope.
27:54No baby weigh-ins, no health visitors,
27:56no GP appointments, no vaccinations.
27:59She's just very mistrusting of hospitals, of us.
28:06So what do we know about the family?
28:08So what do we know about the family?
28:10We know that they have two older sons, Frankie and Kit.
28:14They've never had any dealings with social services.
28:18There's no history of alcohol or drug abuse in the home.
28:23And what's known about the father?
28:25I'm assuming you've run background checks.
28:30OK, let's get the older boys in for a medical.
28:32I'll speak to the police, get permission to interview the mum.
28:38We need to play this by the book, Liz.
28:44I'm so fucking shit at this.
28:47Oh, don't be silly, you know you're not.
28:49I am. I'm just like...
28:51God, even just getting out of the house this morning
28:54was like some flipping mission for me.
28:57And the rest of you are all sailing through it.
29:00Trust me, he was not this angelic at 3am this morning.
29:02Oh, I'm sorry, as if you got up at 3am. Not a chance.
29:06God bless the au pair.
29:07Listen, Liz, the only reason that Molly's asleep right now
29:10is, I don't know, some sort of act of God.
29:16Hey, listen, you are everything, all right?
29:20You are a wonderful mother, you're an incredible doctor,
29:24you're a very loyal friend and you will get through this.
29:27You will.
29:28What would I have done if I hadn't met you lot?
29:30I'd just be stuck at home going out of my mind,
29:32literally losing my mind.
29:35I'll take her.
29:37If you can keep her.
29:39No.
29:40No, I don't mean that.
29:52Please.
29:53Don't feel bad.
29:55Speaking of lending, how about you lend us your au pair, Shar?
29:59Hey, back off, bitch, she's mine.
30:05Every time.
30:06See, how does she do it?
30:08I don't know, she has the magic touch.
30:11If she wasn't my friend, I'd fucking hate her.
30:23You OK?
30:35PHONE BEEPS
30:42Jess, because of the nature of Betsy's injuries,
30:46I'm afraid social services have been called in.
30:48What?
30:50Any unexplained injury of this nature,
30:52it just automatically triggers an investigation.
30:55I know that sounds serious, but it is standard.
30:58It's not unexplained, I told you what happened.
31:00Yeah, and I told you that it wasn't possible.
31:02So if you can just try and be honest with me,
31:04then all of this will get cleared up, but until then...
31:10Who called them?
31:17Who called them this?
31:33Wow.
31:35Thank God for small mercies.
31:38When are they coming back, Eddie?
31:40I'm not sure.
31:42For all I know, she's still waiting to be seen properly.
31:44That's what she told you?
31:46She's probably triaged behind 17 alcoholics,
31:48an acid attack and a stabbing.
31:50Yeah, but she should keep him informed.
31:52DOORBELL RINGS
31:54They're starting to arrive already?
31:56I'll go.
31:58It's just a shame she's going to miss the start of the party.
32:01Yeah, 50 screaming kids won't be easy on the hangover.
32:08Oh, look, Frankie's going to love his cake.
32:13Oh, and the rabbits have also arrived.
32:15The what?
32:17You know, for the petting zoo.
32:19Jess really thinks of everything.
32:21I know.
32:24There you go.
32:26Thank you. Mm-hm.
32:36So why don't you start by telling me how Betsy hurt herself?
32:42Um, I was making a smoothie for her.
32:45And then I saw her.
32:47And I thought,
32:50Um, I was making a smoothie and she was crawling around.
32:54She tried to pull herself up on the fridge and she fell.
32:58You have a fridge in your living room?
33:01I'm sorry?
33:03You told Dr Burgess that she was in the living room,
33:05you were in the kitchen.
33:08Oh, er, yeah.
33:10The kitchen.
33:12Did you hear her fall?
33:14Yes, I saw it happen.
33:16I was with Frankie at the time.
33:18My eight-year-old.
33:20Mm-hm.
33:34Hey, family.
33:36Hey.
33:38Hi, little angel.
33:40Can I get a hug?
33:42I'm busy.
33:44Oh, OK.
33:46Hello, wife.
33:48Hello, husband.
33:50Oh.
33:54You have a rough night?
33:56You can tell, can't you?
33:58Yeah, you look a bit tired.
34:00But lovely.
34:02Of course.
34:04No.
34:06Jess came in with Betsy.
34:08Oh, yeah?
34:10Everything OK?
34:12It's really good.
34:15Yes.
34:17I had to call social services.
34:19What? You're kidding.
34:21I didn't. I'm jealous.
34:23Stop it. I feel shit enough as it is.
34:27It's bad. It's really bad.
34:29Betsy's really hurt
34:31and Jess doesn't seem to know how it's happened.
34:34What?
34:36Do you think she's to blame?
34:38Or Ed?
34:40Well, Betsy didn't hurt herself, did she?
34:42I don't know. I just don't know.
34:46But it's just...
34:48If anything, Jess is...
34:50She's, like, overprotective, isn't she?
34:52Yeah. Yeah.
34:54But she was really evasive,
34:56completely closed off.
34:58I've never seen her like that before.
35:02I mean, I've hardly seen her, have I,
35:04since she had Betsy?
35:06I've just been bogged down with, like,
35:08night shifts, my mum, the kids.
35:10And I'm like, oh, God, I've been a really shit friend.
35:12No, come on. I have.
35:18What happened between you two?
35:20You know, you always used to be so close.
35:26People just drift apart, don't they?
35:30Hmm.
35:32You are a terrible liar.
35:34Is the food ready yet?
35:36Yes.
35:38Grab this.
35:40Oh.
35:50Sorry, please don't pick her up.
35:52I know.
35:54I'm her mother.
35:56It's imperative that we keep Betsy still.
35:58We don't want to risk further injury.
36:00We're going to be keeping to strict visiting times from now on.
36:02OK, but...
36:04Lucy, this is probably better coming from you.
36:06Dr Cockrell's right.
36:08I'm afraid you'll need to be supervised
36:10by myself or a colleague when you're with Betsy.
36:12What?
36:14I'm her mother. I don't need to be supervised
36:16to be with my own child.
36:18This is how it has to be for the foreseeable.
36:22So I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
36:24What?
36:26No, she's sick.
36:28What if she wakes up and I'm not here? She'd be terrified.
36:30We'll take great care of her.
36:36I'm still breastfeeding.
36:38She needs me.
36:40You might be able to breastfeed for some time.
36:42Wait.
36:44You'd stop me from breastfeeding my own child?
36:46No, no.
36:48You can express milk, and that will be fed to Betsy.
36:50And we'll arrange regular visits.
36:52I'm going to find a new hospital.
36:54You can't do that.
36:56Of course I can.
37:06No!
37:12Do you understand what I'm saying?
37:14Your daughter is under an emergency protection plan.
37:16If you attempt to remove her,
37:18we will get a court order
37:20or police emergency powers will be used.
37:22Brilliant. Proud of you.
37:52Oh, hey.
37:54Thanks for the invite.
37:56Over here?
38:00Oh, hello, guys.
38:02I don't know those people. I've never seen them before.
38:04Oh, don't worry.
38:06You're doing a great job.
38:08Slow down.
38:10Oh, mate, someone's parked across your neighbour's driveway.
38:12Oh, don't worry. I'll handle it.
38:14Thanks.
38:16What happened?
38:18He bit me.
38:20Oh, my God.
38:24Get out of my way.
38:26Come on.
38:28Hey, no, no.
38:30Guys, boys, boys, just chill out, yeah?
38:32Just chill out.
38:40Yeah, there was a lot of talk
38:42about the fact that they went ahead with the party.
38:51I'm over yet.
38:53Beer or fizz?
38:55Beer.
39:00Thank you. There you go.
39:02Is there any news?
39:04No.
39:08Do you think it could be something like meningitis?
39:10Jesus, Charlotte. I'm just asking a question.
39:12Oh, God, I hope not.
39:14Is it something as serious as that?
39:16As soon as this party's over, I'm going straight to the hospital.
39:18It's good that Jess took her in.
39:20Just to be on the safe side.
39:22Who won?
39:24Who do you think?
39:26Yeah, did you cheat?
39:28Sorry to hear about Betsy.
39:30You all right?
39:48You all right?
40:18Betsy!
40:34Betsy!
40:48Hey, Liz.
40:50Anyway...
40:52What are you doing here?
40:54You're supposed to be in bed.
40:56I couldn't sleep.
40:58I couldn't stop thinking about Jess.
41:00Is she here?
41:02No.
41:04How's Ed been?
41:06Ah.
41:08Oh, hey, love.
41:10Ed is acting as if everything's kind of normal.
41:12Really?
41:14Yeah.
41:16Really?
41:18Hey, how are you holding up?
41:20I'll be happy when this party's over.
41:22Yeah, I can imagine.
41:24Poor Jess looked exhausted
41:26when I last saw her.
41:28When did you see Jess?
41:30Last night. I was on duty when she came in.
41:32All right, well, maybe you can tell me
41:34what the hell's going on, then.
41:36I mean, why is it taking so long for the NHS
41:38to treat Betsy?
41:40Well, we just always like to keep
41:42children with this kind of injury completely still.
41:44Well, she was sick.
41:46She went in with a bug or a virus.
41:50Jess hasn't told you?
41:56You need to talk to Jess right away.
41:58Why?
42:00You need to speak to Jess and Betsy's social worker.
42:02Sorry.
42:04Social worker?
42:06What are you talking about?
42:14This is what's going on.
42:32Wait a minute. Are you telling me
42:34that my daughter is lying in a hospital
42:36with unexplained injuries, which she did not have
42:38when she left this house?
42:40I'm sorry.
42:42Someone has called social services
42:44on my family.
42:46Social services.
42:48Why would you do that?
42:50Don't walk away from me!
42:52What are you doing?
42:54We're looking for Edward Carisford. Anyone?
42:58Yeah, I'm Edward Carisford.
43:00What?
43:02I'm DC Steve Ruston.
43:04Lucy Harding.
43:06I'm with Children's Services.
43:08Do you mind if we go inside for a chat?
43:12You should go.
43:34The party was a disaster.
43:36Liz lit the fuse.
43:38Then it blew up.
43:42There's just
43:44nothing we could do to stop it.
43:48Turns out
43:50being a perfect mother
43:52is impossible.
43:54You make mistakes.
43:56And it doesn't matter
43:58what others think. No one judges you
44:00harder than yourself.
44:02And sometimes
44:04the harder you try,
44:06the more you have to hide.
44:10Because only you
44:12know what you've done.
44:22It's uncomfortable
44:24for a friend to make a referral.
44:26We're not as close as we used to be.
44:28Here's to another ten years of friendship.
44:30Cheers.
44:32Frankie!
44:34Frankie and Sam.
44:36I've seen things that make me wonder.
44:38There's a fine line between neglect and abuse.
44:40What happened, Jess?
44:42I'm convinced this isn't an accidental injury.
44:44You can't take our children!
44:46They're not the perfect family and
44:48Ed's not the easy-going guy
44:50we thought he was.
44:52What happened on Friday, Ed?
44:54Someone in that house harmed that baby
44:56and one of them's lying about it.
