Rosie! It's Doctor Ford.

Please stop. Don't move! You
said Rosie was psychotic.

But that does not happen
overnight. ROSIE SCREAMS

Nothing he said is
relevant to understanding

why his wife jumped off
a roof under your care.

You should be asking Dr Hernandez
what went wrong with Rosie's birth.

Rosie needed to
see a psychiatrist.

Maria Carter said that
you told her to cancel.

That's obviously a lie.

Do not speak to the MIU again.

'Who was that?' Doctor
Munro. He's one of my tutors.

He was here because I'm
thinking of quitting med school.

Fizz has been off work
sick since that night out.

Take us to A&E.

'Now, I know it sounds bad.'

It doesn't just sound bad,
it sounds career-ending.

Mr Mansoor delivered
Toni's first baby naturally

without any significant
complications.

I was recently told

that Toni's first baby
suffered a skull fracture.

Did Toni drop her
baby, or didn't she?

Please, I don't wanna
end up like Maria.

Get off my ward now.

A bullying complaint has
been made against you.

WOMAN SOBS

You forced a patient
to have major surgery.

The baby was born safely.

If anything like this
ever happens again,

just give one of us a call,
that's what we're here for.

We've become aware

of some concerning issues
about Dr Hernandez.

We spoke to Maria
Carter, Rosie's midwife.

Are you aware Maria Carter is
currently under investigation?

We asked you, as a trust, to look
at Dr Ford's fitness to practise.

That's our primary concern.

I think it's best you stick to
the job you were brought in to do.

So, what now?

We continue looking
into Dr Hernandez

but let them think our
focus is on Dr Ford.

OK. I'll start putting together
a report on him and Rosie Newman.

I'll contact the NMR.

Given what he said, we
need to know exactly why

they're investigating Maria.

See what you can dig
up from Maternity.

Any staff reporting
issues with Dr Hernandez,

incident reports linked to
her, that kind of thing.

The nerve of that man, thinking
he can tell us how to do our job.

The Trust does not
dictate our work.

ANSWERPHONE BEEPS
'Maria, it's Doctor Ford.

'You gave me your number. Erm...
It would be great to chat.

'Er, just trying you again.
Give me a call when you can.'

Morning, Charlie.
Morning, boss.

How're you doing, mate,
you OK? I'm good, thanks.

All right, Doc? Morning, MC.

How are you, MC?

BUTTONS BEEP, DOOR BUZZES

Morning. Good morning.

How's Aislene? Yeah,
she's all right.

They brought her
over a few hours ago.

New admission? Yep.

33, drug-induced exacerbation
of bipolar disorder.

She's a little... disinhibited.

Where's Bernadette?
Training. Can you see her?

Oh. Not without a chaperone.

Precious is with her.
She's on one-to-one.

Yeah. Sure. I'll head up.

DOOR OPENS

If you want to examine
her, I can wake her up?

Oh, no, no. No,
no, let her sleep.

I'll come back later. OK.

Felicity Templeton's
transfer paperwork?

Just about to

Offering to do my work now?

If you're trying to make
me like you, keep it up.

Forgot this.
COPIER POWERS DOWN

It's, er... It's a duplicate.

Ah. OK.

DOOR OPENS, CLOSES

KNOCK ON DOOR

So, what have you got for me?

Well, the Maternity
department looks great.

They've won multiple awards
for good clinical practice

and were rated
"excellent" by the CQC.

And what about Dr Hernandez?

She has an exemplary
ARCP record,

and no complaints or incident
reports involving her.

What, none? No.

The only doctors referred from QM
to the MIU in the last three years

were two anaesthetists
and two junior doctors.

Well, is there anything that links
them, anything they have in common?

Other than QM, nothing,
but I can keep digging.

Why don't you, er, print
out their case notes

and we'll go through
them together?

Yes.

DOOR OPENS

HE EXHALES What's wrong?

Ah, erm, th-that girl
from the other night,

from the... from
the night club -

she's just been
admitted to the ward.

What? Yeah. She's bipolar,

so the overdose triggered
a manic episode and...

and... and... and...
I-I don't know.

OK.

Is your name in
her notes? Yeah.

Fuck's sake, James!

If the Trust find out about this

and that I helped
you, then I'm screwed.

You just made a phone call.
It's nothing to do with you.

No, it's got everything
to do with me!

If she sees me, Kate... You
knew she had bipolar disorder?

Funnily, she didn't mention her
mental illness during dinner.

I thought you met her at a club.

If there's anything else
that you wanna say, James,

now'd be a really
good time to say it.

Did you sleep with her?

Because if you slept with
her AND you gave her drugs,

then that's... that's
really not good.

We... We kissed. Just once.

Twice. That's... That's it.

I swear.

I'd just been to the MIU,
I'd just had my interview,

where it transpired you
told them you didn't ask me

to go to Toni's assessment,
so my head was a little...

So, what, you did it
out of spite? No... No.

Then what?

Why would you do that?

You made me look like a liar.

What else was I supposed to say?

Just stay off the
ward for a while.

Sure. I'll sort this out.

Hi.

How was teaching? Not useful.

I only go cos it gives me a
break away from this madhouse.

Where's James?

God knows.

Look, I've been meaning to
talk to you about something.

Have you ever wondered

if Dr McAllister and
James are, you know...?

Er... no?

She's his consultant. Exactly.

So why's he always
covering for her?

And they spend a lot
of time together.

There's no way she'd
risk her career over him.

Why on earth are you
even bringing this up?

RINGING TONE

MARIA: 'Hello?'

Hi. Yeah, it's erm...
it's Dr James Ford.

'I'm not supposed
to talk to you.'

Look, er, please, hear
me out. It's, erm...

It's not just about Rosie.

I spoke with a different midwife
about another traumatic birth.

'She wouldn't tell me anything.

'She just keeps saying that she was
too scared of ending up like you.'

How many other are there?

Maria?

Meet me by the tower block

on the Colbridge Road
Estate, 8am tomorrow.

Sure.

CALL DISCONNECTS

MUSIC PLAYS

Sorry, I'm a bit out
of sorts tonight.

This one's tough. Why's that?

Ah, it's complicated.

There's this weird
hierarchy in medicine.

Psychiatry's like the poor
relation or something.

You should see this psych unit.
It's literally falling apart.

Some of our most
vulnerable patients,

and we house them in
these shitty buildings.

It's impossible
to keep them safe.

Can't be easy.

Well, at least it's more meaningful
than striking off doctors

for having the wrong
parking permit.

THEY LAUGH

He was using his
wife's disabled permit

to park in the best
hospital bays for free.

It may seem harsh, but, look, if
he's prepared to lie about that,

what else would he
lie about, you know?

Mm! Anyway... enough about that.

Where am I taking
you this weekend?

Hi, yes, erm, I...

I need to report a problem
with one of your machines.

'What's the unit number?'

Excuse me. Sorry, what?

Excuse me, are you a doctor?

'Hello?' Erm...

SHE SIGHS Yeah. Yeah.

SHE SCREAMS

That's it, Freya, you're
doing really well.

I can't take much more
of this. Yes, you can.

Hey, it's natural, hm?

Freya. I found a doctor.

It'll be all
right. Yeah? Yeah.

Dr Hernandez,
we're good, thanks.

Hi, Freya. My name's Sophia.
I'm one of the on-call doctors.

I'd like to do a quick
internal exam, if that's OK?

Pop your feet together for me?

Keep breathing, yeah? Right...

What's happening?

There were no beds in
the labour ward earlier,

so we paused the induction.

When we resumed, she
wasn't progressing,

so we gave her oxytocin.

She is now fully dilated, and
she's been pushing for 40 minutes.

FREYA CRIES OUT

The contractions are 6-10,

and there are regular
late decelerations.

What rate's the oxytocin?

FREYA MOANS You
can. Yeah, you can.

You're doing really
well. FREYA MOANS

You're doing really well. Oi,
you're doing really well, OK?

That's it, Freya.

OK, Freya, your uterus
is contracting too much,

that's why it's so painful.

You and your baby aren't getting
enough rest between contractions.

I've stopped the oxytocin,
which should help.

Please, please make it
stop. I'm begging you.

Come on, Freya. Keep going.

You're strong enough
to do this naturally.

Come on! We need to
transfer her to theatre.

I can't... You can.
Yeah, you can. You can.

You're doing really well.

FREYA PANTS Shh.

There's marked foetal distress,

and I'm worried her
uterus might rupture.

She needs a C-section,
and I'm happy to do it.

She's too exhausted
to keep pushing and...

If she's exhausted, assist her.

We need to get the baby
out. The hypoxia...

If there's no obstruction,

it's quicker to get the baby
out using a ventouse or forceps.

'Get started. I'll
be there soon.'

FREYA PANTS, MOANS

Freya, when the next contraction
starts, I want you to push.

I'll pull gently at
the same time. I can't.

Yes, you can.

Come on, Freya. That's
it, push for me!

FREYA STRAINS

FREYA CRIES OUT

We're going to...
try again, Freya.

Please, no, I can
feel the contractions.

The epidural's not working.

Do I have time
for a spinal? No.

Push for me, Freya.
FREYA STRAINS

Push for me. That's it!

Call Mr Mansoor, tell him
to hurry up. Call him!

Mr Patel, if you could wait
outside, that would be best.

No, shouldn't I...?

Please, Mr Patel.

OK. No, please.

I'm just outside. OK...

Bleep the neonatal resus team.

If we get this baby out,
we're going to need them.

Freya? I'm going to try forceps.

FREYA CRIES Freya...

OK.

That's it, Freya.

FREYA STRAINS
Push. Push for me.

That's it!

FREYA SCREAMS Ah...

ALARM BEEPING

Ah... Er, what's
going...? MUFFLED WAILING

FREYA SCREAMS Freya, push!

There's no progression. We
need to prep for a C-section.

Excuse me.

FREYA CRYING

Oh, oh! What's...
What's happening?

Ow! Ow, ow...

Forceps. We're
compromising the baby.

We need to do a Caesarean.

I've already tried twice with the
ventouse, twice with forceps...

Spare me the history - I can see
you haven't got the baby out.

FREYA WAILS

Forceps.

Argh! Argh!

FREYA STRAINS

FREYA SCREAMS

SHE PANTS

SHE CRIES

Right. Prep for a C-section.

FORCEPS CLATTER Come on.

I'm gonna give you a
general anaesthetic now.

You won't feel any more pain.

You can start.

There he is.

He is pale. Probably
not breathing.

What's the heart rate?
It's less than 60.

Give five inflation breaths.

We should've done a C-section
earlier. This was avoidable.

Reassess. Chest wall was
rising. The heart rate?

Close her up.

Still below 60.

Start inflation breaths.

DOOR OPENS, CLOSES

There's no change.

Oh, arriving at work together.
Careful, we'll get people talking.

Don't even joke about it -
one inappropriate relationship

is enough for me to
deal with right now.

Rubi and her uni tutor.

That's why she's back? Yeah.

Oh. I know.

So, I contacted the NMR.

They're investigating
multiple historic complaints

against Maria Carter. Really?

Yeah. She worked on
the elderly care ward

before retraining as a midwife.

So, ten years ago,
a family complained

that their relative died due to
the poor care Maria provided.

Nothing came of it,
but eight weeks ago,

the family contacted the NMR

and said they wanted their
complaint re-examined

because they had new evidence.

What, just after Maria left
QM and started her new job?

Exactly. Then more relatives
of patients Maria treated

came out of the woodwork with
similar historic complaints.

And presumably, because
it was so long ago,

the hospital records
have been destroyed.

This way.

'The timing seems
a bit convenient.'

Hm. You think
this is the Trust?

It can't be a coincidence.

Hm.

The Trust know we're
in touch. What? How?

You must have said
something to someone.

I-I haven't said anything.

They've warned me
to stop. Stop what?

I referred Rosie to Psychiatry
when she was on the postnatal ward.

The birth was traumatic,
but nobody acknowledged it.

She should have had
a C-section, but...

instead, they went at
her with the forceps,

the ventouse, over
and over again.

And they just
wrote in the notes,

"Normal vaginal delivery,
no complications."

There was nothing normal about
the brutality Rosie experienced.

Rosie wasn't reviewed
by Psychiatry.

If she had been, I would
have seen it in her notes.

SHE SIGHS I knew it.

I knew she'd lied.

Sophia told me to
cancel the referral.

Right. And when I refused, she
came back and said she'd...

she'd been seen and she
was fine to go home.

And then that poor
woman... Christ.

I did so many incident reports.

Management did nothing.

So I-I took my complaints
to the Trust. They...

They threatened to
report me to the NMR

if I didn't drop
it and leave, so...

..I agreed to go.

As soon as I started my new
job, they reported me anyway.

What are they accusing you of?

DOG BARKS

Were you followed?
No, of course not.

My advice is to drop this.

Sophia cancelled that referral.

If she's responsible
for Rosie's death,

we should go and talk
to the MIU together.

It doesn't matter!

There is nothing
the Trust won't do

to protect the
hospital's reputation.

It's all they care about -

not the patients, and
definitely not us.

Just wait...

..till they really
fuck with your life.

You have no idea who
you're dealing with.

Please, don't contact me again.

KNOCK ON DOOR Come in.

We have a problem.

What now?

I had to rescue Sophia
Hernandez last night.

I told her to prep a
patient for a C-section.

She wasn't confident
doing it, so I came in.

When I arrived, she'd
been going at the baby

with the ventouse and
forceps for far too long.

Please tell me
the baby survived.

Yes, but it's not good.

They're trying therapeutic cooling,
but there's no spontaneous movement.

Absent reflexes. Pupils
fixed and dilated.

If he lives, it's gonna
be very expensive.

ERIC SIGHS

We need to keep a lid on
this. Speak to the family.

Explain things in a
way that avoids blame.

And in the meantime, let's
give Sophia some time off.

Probably best to keep
her away from the parents

in case she says
something unhelpful.

DOOR OPENS, CLOSES

If our client wins the bid,
it'll be life-changing.

I'm a little nervous, but
I think the plans are good.

We might be a small company,
but we know what we're doing.

And it feels like the right time
for us to take on something bigger.

What's wrong?

It's the... It's the
parents of a boy that died.

Erm...

They wanna meet me.

Er, properly, not
across a courtroom.

But why are they contacting you?

I thought you had a
tribunal, a court case.

You were cleared.
I know, but...

..maybe they feel I owe
them a better explanation?

I mean, their only
child did die.

Fuck. I know.

It might be a good thing.

Healing... for all of you?

BUTTONS BEEP, DOOR BUZZES

Hey. Hi.

Did you manage to sort
that thing with Fizz?

Yes. I've transferred
her to Mulberry Ward.

And the notes?

Dealt with. There's
another thing.

I managed to track down the midwife
for Rosie's birth, Maria Carter.

She tried to tell the Trust

Maternity were covering
up multiple problems.

And I really think
I'm onto something.

James, I don't wanna hear it.

DOOR OPENS

Morning. Morning.

Earlier this week, you
helped deliver Baby Patel.

Yes, with Mr Mansoor.

Baby Patel's MRI shows a
large subdural haemorrhage

and changes consistent with severe
hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy.

It's unlikely he'll recover.

According to the midwife,
you quickly identified

uterine hyper-stimulation
causing foetal hypoxia?

Yes.

So why on earth did you persist
with an assisted vaginal delivery

instead of an emergency Caesarean
like Mr Mansoor told you to?

What?

You wasted nearly
20 crucial minutes,

time that could have drastically
changed the outcome for this baby.

The family want us to
investigate what went wrong.

And while we do that,

it would be in your best
interest to take some time off.

You're suspending me?

Not a suspension.

An incident like this will affect
your management of other patients.

A break is essential
for YOUR wellbeing.

Spend time at home, Sophia.
Look after the children.

We know you've struggled to stay on
top of everything since the divorce.

SHE SCOFFS

I don't need time off.

It wasn't my fault.

The foetal heart rate wasn't
being monitored properly,

the midwife didn't want my help,

and I was the one pushing
for a Caesarean, not Arun.

HE SCOFFS

Everyone in theatre
saw you attempt

multiple unsuccessful
pulls on the baby

before Arun arrived and
decided to do a Caesarean.

Take the time off. Let us
complete our investigation.

Then we can decide
what happens next.

Oh, and you were caught on CCTV
stealing from the vending machine.

Make sure you drop by
Estates on your way out

and pay for what you took.

DOOR CLOSES

JAMES: So, I've
pulled the HR records

of the doctors who had
complaints made against them.

It looks like the two anaesthetists
regularly worked on the labour ward.

Hm. And both junior doctors
did rotations in Obstetrics

shortly before they
were reported to us.

And in this interview transcript,
the anaesthetist claims

he was only reported because he
raised concerns about Obstetrics.

It's the same for the
Cardiology and GP trainees.

Oh, and look at this.

Both anaesthetists were
reported to the MIU by patients

after they met with
Trust representatives.

You think the Trust pushed those
patients to make a complaint?

It's possible.

Right. Contact those doctors, see
if any of them'll speak to you.

I doubt they'll agree.

We're probably their least
favourite organisation.

Use that charm of yours.

Was there something else?

So, I've decided to
meet Liam's parents.

What?

Why on earth would you
do that to yourself?

I think it's the
right thing to do.

It's been, what, four years?

They've been through
all the formal channels.

It hasn't satisfied them.

Whatever they want, you
can't give it to them.

It's just gonna
re-traumatise you all.

They asked, and...

..I think I owe it to them.

It's the least I can do.

You don't owe them this.

Look, I'm trying to
protect you, George.

Do not do it.

PHONE RINGS

McAllister?' Yes, speaking.

'The Chief Medical
Director, Dr Sawers,

BUTTONS BEEPING
OK, I'll be there.

DOOR BUZZES

Dr Munro? Ben, please.

Dr Callahan from the MIU.
Thank you for meeting me.

Not at all.

It's fine.

I won't be taking up
too much of your time.

Er, you said you're investigating
a doctor I work with.

Is that at the hospital
or the university?

I'm Rubi's mum.

Er, she's a good student.

And... I'm sorry to hear
she's leaving the course.

I saw you leaving my house.

Er, it's... it's...
it's not what you think.

I know that you've been
sleeping with my daughter

and that's why she's decided
to quit her medical degree.

Rubi is an exceptionally
bright child.

She's not a child.
She's my child.

And I want you to
leave her alone,

which means you give
up your lectureship

so Rubi can return to uni.

You can't be serious.

OK, OK, OK, so, we
had a relationship,

but she pursued me,

I had nothing to do with
her decision to leave.

Norma, look, look, I can
see that you're upset...

It's Dr Callahan.

And I am not upset.

I am simply explaining to
YOU what's gonna happen.

E-Even if I was to leave my
job, which I'm not gonna do,

Rubi wouldn't return to uni.

If you know anything about her,

it's that she only did
medicine to please you.

Don't you dare insinuate you know
my daughter better than I do!

I didn't mean it like that.

If you don't resign...

I'm gonna tell
everyone you work with

how you take advantage
of your students.

I'll make sure
you're struck off...

..and never work again.

I'll get straight to it.

It's looking increasingly likely
that in spite of our best efforts,

the psychiatry unit will close.

That's... really awful. Is
there nothing we can do?

I'm afraid not.

The Integrated Care
Board have been clear -

Rosie Newman's death was
the final straw. Yeah.

If we merge with Oakwell,

we'll be looking for a new
director of psychiatry.

You'd make a good candidate.

SHE GASPS Wow. Er...

Sorry, I wasn't,
er, expecting that.

The optics are great. You're
young, female, ambitious.

Well, I mean, I...

You know, obviously, it's a
big step up, but yeah, it's...

It's one I think I'm ready for.

There's just one thing
that needs clearing up.

Where did you get this?

That's not really
what's important.

We are two consenting adults.

This is not a relationship
between equals.

Dr Ford is your trainee, and
he's under investigation.

You gave evidence to
the MIU on his behalf.

Did you lie to protect him?

Of course I didn't.

You're his clinical
supervisor, Kate.

You approve his progression to
the next stage of his career.

How can you possibly do
that with any impartiality

if you're screwing him?

It's not like that.

Oh. It's a serious relationship?

Oh, come on, Eric.

If I was a male consultant
involved with a female junior,

would you be asking me that?

I'm disappointed in you, Kate.

Misogyny in medicine
may be rife,

but it absolutely
does not apply here,

so don't try jumping
on that bandwagon.

You've abused your
position, plain and simple.

So, what? You're...

You're firing me?

We ought to.

But here's what we're
gonna do instead.

BEEP Hi, Maria, it's James.

Just trying you again.

Give me a text. I just
want make sure you're OK.

Give me a call when you can.

Excuse me. James Ford?

Yeah.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

BUTTONS BEEP, DOOR BUZZES

Hey. Files, please.

Is it just me, or is there a
strange vibe on the ward today?

Everyone knows
about you and James.

I'm sorry, Precious. What?

Aislene saw you together.

I reported you. After her
incident, I had no choice.

And you believed her? A
seriously unwell patient?

Precious, obviously, you
should have come to me first

instead of believing
malicious rumours.

Your actions show a total
ignorance of mental illness,

and quite frankly,
I'm disappointed.

They're not rumours,
Kate. Aislene has photos.

And if anyone should
be disappointed,

it's all of us on Willow Ward

who work so hard to support you
in a job that, quite frankly,

you're not very good at.

DOOR OPENS, CLOSES

This is about Maria
Carter, isn't it?

On the 15th of July,
you visited a nightclub

with one of our inpatients,
Felicity Templeton.

You were in possession of
ecstasy, which she ingested.

Shortly after, Ms Templeton
became extremely unwell,

but instead of bringing her
here, to the nearest A&E...

..you took her several miles
away, to North Yorkshire Hospital,

where you lied to medical staff

and provided a false
name, Toby Tait.

If the story ended there,
it would be serious enough,

but it gets worse.

Ms Templeton is a vulnerable
young woman with bipolar disorder.

The drugs precipitated
a manic episode,

and she was transferred
to Willow Ward...

..where, in order
to prevent your role

in her admission
being discovered,

you then arranged her
transfer to another ward.

Aside from the fact that possession
and supply of class A drugs

is a criminal offence...

I didn't supply any drugs.

..you seem to have forgotten the
basic principle of medicine -

first, do no harm.

You put your career ahead of
this young woman's health.

A decision that could
have proved fatal.

Have you got anything
to say in your defence?

No. I didn't think so.

None of... None of this
would have happened if I...

if I wasn't under investigation.
I beg your pardon?

You've picked apart all my work,

you made me justify every
decision I've had to make.

You have no idea the pressure
that I've been under.

And this all happened
on a night out.

You are a doctor and
representative of this profession,

whether on hospital
premises or not!

Do you know what's
most disappointing?

We were this close to concluding
that you were fit to practise.

What?

S-So you know
about the referral,

so you know what they've
done to Maria Carter?

We're... We're far
beyond that now, Dr Ford.

Your behaviour is something
this trust cannot condone.

And as such, you're suspended
with immediate effect.

But the problem is with Obstetrics,
right, it's not just Rosie.

Take Toni Campbell-Brown,
because Obstetrics

blamed her but used forceps
during her traumatic birth,

and they fractured her baby's
skull, do you know about that?

I've had enough of this.

Please escort Dr Ford
off the premises?

It's fine.

DOOR CLOSES

I'm really glad we're
all on the same page now.

It's all a bit convenient,
isn't it? What do you mean?

Maria being suspended, now Ford.

He made a series of mistakes

that put another young
woman's life in danger.

He made a mistake because
he felt under pressure.

By vilifying him instead of
looking at the bigger picture,

who are we actually protecting?

The Felicity Templetons
of this world? Yes.

But the Trust could be using
this as a way to shift our focus.

We shouldn't let
this distract us

from the wider issues that
are going on in Obstetrics.

What did he mean about them
fracturing Toni's baby's skull?

We need look into
that. PHONE CHIMES

Obstetrics still have
questions to answer.

One of the doctors
agreed to meet us.

Which one?

Dr Armitage, one of
the anaesthetists.

Great. Set that up ASAP, and...
let's just keep pushing the others.

Shit.

What did they give you?

Was it like a promotion?
A pay rise, maybe?

Kate. Get off!

What was it worth? What was
it worth to ruin my life?

The Trust have photos
of us together.

I didn't have a choice.
I could lose my job.

I covered for you, though, didn't
I? What about me? What about us?

There is no "us". It was just
sex, and I'm sorry it happened.

So go home, get some sleep...
cos you look bloody awful.
