SIRENS

Come on. Come on.
Where the fuck are you?

I think my husband's
having an affair.

With a perky-breasted 25-year-old.

It's disappointingly unoriginal.

Question. What tips would you give
your younger self?

Have more fun.
HE SCOFFS

What about you?

Have less fun.
SHE CHUCKLES

And don't worry
what people think about you.

And... while I think of it,
not to bother with contraception.

Really?
Yeah. All those years on the pill!

Turns out, despite my womanly hips,
as the old cow used to say,

it wasn't quite that easy.
HE SCOFFS

I quite... liked your womanly hips.

Are you flirting with me?

Connie? Connie? It's me.

CONNIE WHIMPERS

Connie, you have to come down
from there.

I did it.
I drove them off the bridge.

Are they going to die?
No. No.

They, they were in induced comas
in hospital, but they're fine.

They're alive.

Can I see her?
Please, I need to see her.

I want to see Annie.

You know you can't, Connie...
You need to come down from there.

I'm gonna call the front desk, OK?
I'll jump. I'm gonna jump.

No. No. No. Please don't do that.
Please don't do that. Stay there.

Oh, Christ...

I should be dead.

I wish I was dead.

I want to die.

We all deserve forgiveness, Connie.

What would you know?
I do know.

Because I've done terrible things.

I promise you you're not alone.
Listen to me.

I'm going to tell you
about this woman, Connie,

who's just had a baby.

A beautiful, tiny baby girl.

And this woman is so happy,

because it's what she's wanted
for so many years.

But... as the months go by,
she becomes more and more exhausted,

because the baby will only sleep
for one hour at a time.

And the woman becomes depressed
and ashamed of her depression,

because she's a woman who can fix
anything, but she's truly failing.

So, she...

She takes anti-depressants
and pills to send her to sleep,

and pills to keep her awake.

The baby is a toddler now,
but still she doesn't sleep.

Only now, she's having tantrums.

Awful, screaming tantrums.

And nothing in this mother's life
has prepared her for this.

All of her logic, her usual tactics,
her patience,

none of it has any effect...
Dr Robertson?

OK, Connie, down you get.

The corticosteroids
were for the alopecia.

And the lorazepam on the same date?

Well, the antidepressants
weren't proving sufficient.

She was very anxious.

And did you warn her
about possible addiction

and the side effects of lorazepam?

Of course I did.
As and when required.

I think we could have had
this conversation over the phone.

And what does
"as and when required" mean?

How often was she taking them?

Why not speak to her husband?

Though I would suggest
a different tone,

I think he's been through enough.

The guidelines recommend
that no-one's on lorazepam

for more than four weeks.

You've prescribed them
three times over three months.

Thank you for your time.

You know, all of us at the school
are very shocked.

It's an exceptionally
tight community around here.

It's not that tight, though, is it?
She slipped and no-one caught her.

Hi! It's Josh, isn't it?
I'm your mother's doctor...

I left a message. Is your dad in?

Dad? Dad?!

Mum's doctor.
In you go, son.

Come in.

I'm going to take all
this stuff to the hospital.

Ness thought the girls would like
some familiar things.

Good idea.
Yeah. She's been amazing.

How's Josh doing?
Well, he's, um...

Well, we're all pretty bad.

I'm really sorry, Karl,
but I am going to have to ask you

how Connie seemed to you
in those last few days,

and about her medication.

You may be better off
asking her dad.

She was staying over there.
Why?

Well, she wasn't herself.

I didn't want the kids
to see her like that.

Like what?
Hyper. You know.

Manic.

Listen, I've got to get
to the hospital

and the train leaves shortly,
so, erm...

Oh, I'll be passing that way,
if you want a lift?

Yeah, yeah, OK. Thanks.

We could pop by her dad's, if you
want? He's only round the corner.

She slept most of the time.
She didn't want me to disturb her.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Karl, why don't you wait downstairs?
I'll be down in a minute.

Are her meds here?
Um...

OK. Thank you.

I got a call from a guy in Cheam.

He tried ringing you...
What were you doing in Cheam, Emma?

What were you doing?

Is she gonna be OK?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, thanks...

..Dougie.

I've organised
another psych for you.

Someone more suitable. Sarah.

I don't want Sarah.

I want YOU.

Sarah's good. You'll like her.

What happened? What did I do?
Why are you so angry with me?

I'm not angry with you. It's me.

You deserve someone better.

They could rip me
to shreds in court.

Stop self-flagellating.

Come on! Get on with it.

Ask me one of your stupid questions!

# Why do the birds go on singing?

# Why do the stars glow above?

Darling, have you seen Josh?

Are you all right, Dad?
Yes, I'll be fine.

Will Granny be cross with Josh?
Course not.

He wouldn't miss her funeral.

I think, maybe, I'm just unusual.

No, you're not. You're just pissed

Jesus, Con. Someone could've
cracked their skull open.

I'm sorry.

You've got to get
yourself together, Con.

Why don't you go stay with your dad

Get some proper rest.

I am so sorry, Dad.

CAR ACCELERATES

SPLASH

A psychotic episode?

Not necessarily
from the benzodiazepines per se,

I'm not saying that,
they can be very helpful drugs.

I'm talking about
the withdrawal process.I see...

Although, might I add,

the General Medical Council
is currently looking into

whether the benzos were incorrectly
prescribed in the first place.

Aside from lorazepam, what else
was Ms Mortensen taking? Remind us.

The antidepressant lofepramine
and corticosteroids.

And she stopped taking all
medication on the... 7th, you say?

Yes.
Three days.

Is that usual for benzodiazepine
withdrawal to kick in?

It can be. If it's an acute
withdrawal, which this was.

There are previous case reports of
violent behaviour in this situation.

She should have been on a gradual
withdrawal programme.

People need to be monitored.
They should have a support network.

Obviously, there were
other contributory factors.

She was in the depths of grief.

She had buried her mother
on the 7th, as well.

And grief can be
its own kind of hell.

Let's not forget
that she'd recently discovered

her husband was having
a relationship

with Polly Jones's mother?
Correct?

Ms Mortensen had been through
considerable emotional turmoil

prior to seeking lorazepam. Yes.

So, we could say
that she certainly had motive.

Can you explain to us
what spousal revenge is?

It's what you might call
a jealous rage.

Which rather seems to fit
with the actions of Ms Mortensen,

wouldn't you agree?
Not at all.

Ms Mortensen was in fact
acting altruistically.

In her acutely psychotic state
that night,

she believed she was saving the
children from a malevolent force.

A malevolent force.

How can you be sure that
Ms Mortensen isn't just fabricating

these psychotic symptoms
in order to get away with this?

Experience. Expertise.

I've seen many a malingerer
over my 30 years,

and not many of them
would go to the lengths

of severely scalding themselves
with hydrochloric acid,

which, by the way,
pre-dates the offence in question.

Her psychosis was not faked.

And I would put it to you, Dr,
that Ms Mortensen is still a danger,

not only to herself,
but to her family and society.

And I would strongly refute that.

Now that she's on the correct
monitored medication,

Ms Mortensen is no more a danger
to herself,

her family or society than you or I.

For who knows what any one of us
is capable of,

given the wrong medication
and the right triggers?

I've just had Foxtons on the phone.

They're going to come round
tomorrow to value it.

I feel like we're betraying her.

Leaving her behind. Moving on.

I thought that's what you wanted?

I need you to listen to me.

There's something
I've never told you...

..about that day.

Mummy!

Mummy, are we going to the swings?

We're going later.

Mummy, I want to go on the swings!
Mummy, I want to go on the swings!

We're gonna go later!

Mummy, I want to go on the swings!
Mummy, I want to go on the swings!

Mummy! I want to go on the swings!
Mummy, I want to go on the swings!

Mummy, I want to get out
of the buggy!

Hey, Jenny!How's it going?
Getting any sleep?

God, don't ask.

Abigail, you can stop that,
Mummy's talking.

Oh, Emma. Drop her with me.
I said stop it!

Oh, you're so kind.
You are just going to have to wait!

It's not a good moment.
I'll let you be. I'll see you soon.

ABIGAIL CRIES,
MOBILE RINGS

Can you just be quiet!
I need to take this call.

ABIGAIL SCREAMS
I have had it with you!

Hello? Yes.
Is this about the washing machine?

Well, could you be more specific?

When you say "all day", I mean,
I can't wait in all day, can I?!

Well, could you at least say
morning or afternoon?

BRAKES SCREECH
Well, can I track you, then?

"I've had it with you".

Those were the last words she heard.

Abigail.

You're right. I never say her name.

Abigail.

You're right to blame me.

I don't blame you.

And I don't blame you at all
for having an affair.

What?
With Savannah. Adrian's girlfriend.

What?!

I am not an idiot.

I saw you together.
Outside your office.

Arm in arm. You left together.

No. No, no, no, no.

She was trying to rope me in

to organising
a surprise 50th for Adrian.

Oh, come here, you big idiot.

Spaghetti.

What time is it?
You've got hours.

Oh, God, I hate this. I feel sick.
How do I look?

You'll be fine. Want a chill pill?

You are a bad person.

Yeah.

Hello, loves.
Mummy!

Look at you.

Do they have an electric chair here?

I am afraid it's not that
kind of place, my darling. Oh!

Why don't you go
and see my friend Carol,

see if she will give you
some sweets. Yeah.

Hello, Joshie.

I'm so sorry, for everything
I've put you through.

You'd better not do it again.
