Short filmTranscript
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?
00:50I'm sorry.
00:51I'm sorry.
00:52I'll call you as soon as you've been seen.
00:53Go.
00:54I'm sorry.
00:55I'm sorry.
00:56I'm sorry.
00:57I'm sorry.
00:58I'm sorry.
00:59I'm sorry.
01:00I'm sorry.
01:01I'm sorry.
01:02I'm sorry.
01:03I'm sorry.

01:10I'm sorry.
01:11I'm sorry.
01:12I'm sorry.
01:13I'm sorry.
01:14I'm sorry.
01:15I'm sorry.

01:29I'm sorry.
01:30I'm sorry.

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