Two couples discover their toddlers were switched at birth in a hospital mix-up and face the horrifying dilemma of keeping the sons they have raised and loved, or reclaiming their biological child.

01x02 - Episode 2

Post by bunniefuu »

There's no easy way of saying this
- Theo is not your biological son.

I'm Miles Lambert.
I'm, er, the other dad.

That's David.

Nice to see you again.
This is my wife, Lucy.

I'm Maddie. Lucy.

We would like to keep Theo.
And we want to keep David.

Argh! Oh!

'I've actually been writing
for the first time in ages.'

I'd love to read it, if
you don't mind sharing.

Yeah, yeah, of course. Do you
have the details of the nurse

that was looking after
Theo in the NICU?

Er, Stella? My lawyer
wants to check some facts.

I really have tried.

We are making all this
effort to see Theo

and you two aren't
trying very hard

to see David at all. What?!

'Oh, come on!' Wait,
sorry, what's this about?

Miles - he wants David AND Theo.

But they filed a custody
order eight weeks ago.

Yeah, they've been lying
to us from the beginning.

How can they be
allowed to do that?

Well, they've changed
Theo's birth certificate.

With DNA evidence, I'm afraid
it's relatively straightforward.

But the hospital had no
right. It wasn't the hospital.

To change a birth certificate,
you need a legally valid DNA test.

And a court-approved doctor
came to the Lamberts' house

on the 25th of September,
took a DNA sample from Theo.

MADDIE SIGHS The nanny share.

They've always wanted both boys.

And they've applied for a
child arrangements order.

If that's granted,
they get to decide

where Theo lives and how much
he gets to see of you both.

What?! No! No.

They can only do this
because mediation failed.

Hold on. We never did mediation.

Well, they say it happened

when you met at their house
on the 24th of August.

That is ridiculous!
They invited us over.

We met informally and we decided
that we were going to keep our sons,

that we would keep Theo.

Was it just the four of you? Yes,
and their nanny and the boys.

Oh, they ARE playing dirty.

OK. Well, we can
counter their statement

and we can proceed with
an official mediation

in the presence of a
neutral third party,

not the nanny.

But why do we have
to do mediation?

So that you can come to a formal
arrangement about the boys

and keep it out of court.

But if mediation fails and
that's where we end up,

things will likely get
very, very unpleasant.

DOORBELL RINGS

Hey, matey. Lucy said Theo
didn't turn up this morning,

so I thought I'd
come and get him.

And, er... I wanted to
give you these in person.

What is it? Invites
to our fundraiser.

We've got a charity
for premature babies

and we'd love you and
Maddie to be there.

So, er... where's Theo?

Daytime at ours -
we agreed, yeah?

Are you serious?

You're trying to take
our boy away from us.

Both boys, in fact.

The court documents you
filed straight after we met!

That's for the lawyers
to deal with. Oh, my...!

Miles, you are insane!

Right, well, there's no
need to get personal, Pete.

I'm... Look, I'm just trying
to do what is best for my sons.

So, where's Theo?

I'll take him now, shall I?
Just get the f*ck away from me.

OK, so, you are refusing
to let me see him?

THEO: Moles! Oh, hey!
There he is! Oh, hey!

No, Theo, back inside. Oh,
how are you? Oh, what is this?

What is this on your
chinny-chin-chin?

Breakfast!

Breakfast? Well, that is a
late breakfast you're having.

Yeah? It's his lunch.
Now, come on, Theo.

Back inside. Come and play!

Come and play! Come on.

Oh, mate, I can't. Not today,
little man, OK? But soon.

Soon, we can play all
the time, all right?

OK. Bye-bye, Theo. Bye-bye.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

Ollie, where's the haddock
for tonight's special?

You said you were doing the order.
No, I asked YOU to do the order.

For Christ's sake!

LIGHTER CLICKS Oh, come on!

Maddie? What?!

Take the day. Just take the day.

You've clearly got
a lot on your plate.

No, I am fine! No, you're not.

f*ck!

SHE SIGHS

You can't do that.

You can't do this in
front of the team,

in front of the
customers. Come on.

EXHALES DEEPLY I know!

How can I help? Is there
something I can do?

I just... Can I have a hug?

CHUCKLES

Is that it? A hug? Course
you can have a hug!

Come here! A hug. Thank you.

Honestly!

I'm sorry.

Yeah, you should be sorry [!]

Can you just stay right
here? This is perfect.

LIGHTER CLICKS

MUFFLED SPEECH

MADDIE CHUCKLES

When did you get to be so good?!

All right, someone
let the bath out.

Oh, no, it's a whirlpool!

THEY SCREAM EXCITEDLY

OK.

Hiya. Lucy, can we
just please talk?

Maddie, we're seeing each other
in a couple of days at mediation.

Hi, David! Here, you've
got your hands full.

Just let me take him.
It's OK. It's OK.

Just let me help you. No.

Come on. I can hold him.
THEO: Me like to play.

For God's sake, Lucy! Just
let me hold him, please.

Why are you doing this?

Whee! Theo! Theo!

Come here, please. Theo!

Let's go.

Come here a minute.
Good boy. THEO CHUCKLES

PHONE RINGS

SHE SNIFFLES,
PHONE STOPS RINGING

Hey! MILES: 'Hey, babe.

'Are you on your way?'
Yes. Yes, I, erm...

I'm just driving
home. 'Are you OK?'

MADDIE AND THEO CHAT IN DISTANCE

'Lucy?'

Yeah. Erm, I'm fine.

OK, I'll be there
soon. I love you. Bye!

MADDIE AND THEO CONTINUE TO CHAT

Well, it's just...

It's totally crazy
that we're here at all.

We're devastated.

David is our whole world.

He means everything to us.

But when you find out your child
isn't actually yours, erm...

..it's... I'm sorry.

It is hard to, er...
to know what to do.

MADDIE CLEARS HER THROAT It's
been the same for us with Theo.

It's blown our lives apart.

It's been absolute
hell. MEDIATOR: OK.

Do you have any thoughts about
what a good outcome looks like?

We, erm...

We think David and Theo
should both live with us.

Theo just feels like
he's a part of us,

now part of our family.

We see David and
Theo as brothers.

You know, they've really
taken to each other.

Pete, Maddie, how does
that make you feel?

Er... CLEARS HIS THROAT

..angry...

..confused.

What do you want out of today?

We would like to
honour the agreement

that we all made weeks ago - that
we keep the boy we already have

and that we build a relationship
with our biological son.

We would like to take David
for a night each week.

That sounds reasonable.
Miles? Lucy?

MILES SIGHS

Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

I just can't...
CLEARS HIS THROAT

Madelyn, I don't feel your
home is a suitable environment.

Oh, my God. How so?

Well, Pete takes drugs.

What?! Madelyn is a
borderline alcoholic.

That is absurd! And you clearly
can't control your tempers.

PETE SIGHS

Those are serious
allegations, Miles.

SIGHS, CLEARS HIS THROAT

Look, we are not a risk
to either child. Come on.

Theo couldn't self-regulate
at nursery, right?

That was the words
they used. And he is...

Well, I mean, he can
be aggressive at times,

so that, to me, says there
is instability at home.

Oh! That is...

Theo thrives with
us! The other day,

I went round to collect Theo.
Pete refused to let me see him,

even though he was desperate
to see me. He wasn't.

He was begging me to stay.

And he was... he was
eating breakfast at midday.

It wasn't his breakfast.

So, if they can't feed one
child breakfast on time,

how are you going
to cope with two?

I... And more important
than all of that,

and I'm sorry to have
to go here, but...

..Madelyn, your mental state has
been a serious issue in the past

and I am genuinely concerned
that - I mean, God forbid

if anything like that happens
again and I'm not there -

erm, I am not there to
protect my boys, you know?

BABY CRIES

I wouldn't...

I never hurt Theo.

I had, erm, postnatal
depression and...

Christ, do we actually have
to sit here for an hour

and listen to this guy
insult us? Actually, I'm...

Let's try and focus on
why we're here today -

to find a resolution
moving forward. Yeah.

We need to keep both
boys safe. That's right.

And for this to work,

you have to trust each
other with your children.

And how are we meant to trust
them when they've been trying

to take our child away
from us this whole time?

Bottom line is we
are better parents.

We can provide for both boys.

And if they can't accept that,

then, regrettably, I think
court is the only option.

Maddie? Pete?

CAR DOOR OPENS

Pete... Why are
you doing this?!

Hey, matey. No, Pete, stop!

This is what he wants! No,
you misunderstand me, Madelyn.

I just don't want Theo to be
trapped in your tiny house

with this angry man.
You f*cking prick!

Pete, don't, please!
MILES CHUCKLES

Yeah, be careful, mate.
Be very, very careful.

WHISPERS: Pete!

Stop.

Strong. Come on.

CAR DOOR CLOSES

CAR ENGINE STARTS

Between now and the
preliminary hearing,

the Lamberts have requested

that Theo continue to go to their
house weekdays during the day,

and they've agreed that you
can see David supervised

twice a week. I want to
see David without them.

What if we got his birth
certificate changed?

You could, but you'd need
a court-approved doctor

to get a new DNA sample.

They're never going
to allow us access.

And there's more. I
received this yesterday.

It's a document stating

that Theo was recently subject
to a child protection referral.

Look, the gummies were my fault,
but Theo didn't come to any harm,

and social services concluded
that he was not a child in need.

Still, it's not great,
and had I known about it,

I could have pre-empted
the Lamberts' next move.

They've submitted an extensive
list of harms evidence

just to support their case.
Harms? What do you mean "harms"?

Well, they allege that Lucy
had to flee from a public pool

with David, after you, Maddie,
were verbally aggressive.

Ah, come on, now. That's
absolute bollocks!

They also say that Pete
physically threatened Miles

after the mediation
session. Miles provoked me.

Look, they're basically saying

that you bulldozed your
way into their lives,

and that you, Pete,
insisted on meeting them

before they were ready. That's
a lie. Miles ambushed us.

Yeah, but you sent
the first text, Pete.

Yeah, because he asked me to!

They also say they felt obliged

to buy Theo a tricycle because
you couldn't afford it,

despite Pete having a
flashy, expensive bike.

They are twisting everything.

What's on the next page?

A snail! It's a snail!

"and on the floor

WHISPERS: What's

"Now in the grass,
who wanders past?"

I think this one pops up.

GASPS Look at his big teeth!

There's no teeth in there.

He's got no teeth? You're right.

KEYBOARD CLACKS

Let's try this page.

WHISPERS: That's the final page.

REGULAR VOLUME: Why don't
you leave us alone in here?

You know you can watch
us from anywhere.

Oh, we only have those
on when the nanny's here.

KEYBOARD CLACKS

WHISPERS: Will we see
what's on the next page?

"Who does he see?"

That's a chameli.

It's a chameleon, yes!

I think he must see that, too!

They fired the nanny for
stealing, apparently.

There's cameras everywhere.

I just wish you'd have
been there. PETE SIGHS

I thought you'd like
some time alone with him.

Letting David in is
not going to harm Theo.

TIMER RINGS

I'll be there next time, OK?

HE SIGHS

I want to fight for both boys.

PETE SIGHS Mads...

..let's just get through
the first hearing, OK?

We need to put Theo first,
then think about David.

Pete...

BLENDER WHIRS

Pete... BLENDER
CONTINUES TO WHIR

GLASS SMASHES

..I said I want to
fight for both of them.

Look, if you are
worried about money,

we can... remortgage the
house to cover the legal fees.

What? It's not just about money!

Anyway, I'd rather take out another
loan against the restaurant.

What?! Are you kidding me?!

My job is the only thing
we've got going in this fight,

and I'd rather not risk it.

Don't do that. Do what?

Minimise my contribution
to our lives.

I gave up my writing
career for our family, OK?

Just remember that.

I'm sorry.

No, it's fine, Mads.
Just hand me that and...

No, Mads, I've got it. No,
I shouldn't have done that.

That was really stupid.
There's glass everywhere.

SHE SIGHS

You need to acknowledge
you have another son, Pete.

Please try.

OK, I'll try.

Are you all right, buddy?
There's monsters in my room.

There's monsters in
your room? Come here.

Little man, it's OK. You're
OK. There's no monsters.

I'm going to keep you
safe, Theo. Keep you safe.

Dad?

Emma loved that old thing.

It was mine. Mum gave it to me.
Well, you never wanted it for Theo.

You never gave it to Theo.

Anyway, it's not really
his kind of thing.

He's more into... Lego and trucks.
I thought David might quite like it.

He's different from
Theo, you know.

Quieter. More shy.

You could meet him if
you wanted. No, not yet.

Maybe, erm...

..when you've got
it all figured out.

All right.

Right, I should get going.

Oh, Dad, I can't get
you these any more,

not after what
happened with Theo.

Maddie just doesn't want
them in the house, so...

Right.

Thanks, Dad.

See you soon, yeah? Yeah.

DAVID: No, I'm OK.

Can I try the blue one? Yeah.

OK, you tell me - is this
a circle or a square?

Circle! Good boy!

Scribble, scribble, scribble!

Do you want to try
with...? I think...

Should I try with... three?

Whoa! He's flying! This
little boy is flying!

Oh, where did he go?

Where's David? Where'd
he go? Now he's here.

Where's David?

GASPS Peekaboo!

Boo! DAVID SCREAMS EXCITEDLY

I found you!

Do you want to make Pete a
coffee? I'd love a coffee.

I need to pour that out.

SHE SIGHS Can you
help me pour this out?

Is it very hot? Yeah.

Ooh! I burnt my mouth!

Ah! Ooh!

NANNY: Let's get
that cleaned up.

You can't draw on the table.

Look, gone! I only
drew a scribble.

Those knights are nice.

He has a cool shield,
but I have a knight suit.

SHE SIGHS

Bye, David!

No, David, they're going now.
No, you can't go outside.

Give me your hands.

That's right. And together.

NANNY SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY

That new nanny
makes my skin crawl.

It's like a mausoleum in there.

I think we should go
to their charity event.

Really?

They're calling it
The David Foundation.

They're using our
child to show the world

how incredible they
are as parents.

We need to be there.

OK.

HE SIGHS

I think we should
fight for both boys.

The thought of David
there, I just...

WHISPERS: It's the right thing.

We'll have to sue the hospital.

We won't have enough
money for both cases.

Hmm? That's what we'll do?

Yeah. OK.

WOMAN: Hey, Pete!

Stella! Oh, my God! What
the hell are you doing here?

Erm, come round.

So, have you got
the day off or...?

Actually, no. Erm...

..I've been suspended, Pete.

Because you're
suing the hospital,

I can't even set
foot in the building.

What?

They're saying we
were late tagging them

and that could be why the mix-up
happened in the first place,

but they're wrong.

Yeah, of course.

Pete, you don't remember
not seeing a tag, do you?

Look, I'm sure I put the tag
on. It is the first thing

I would have done
before anything else.

Oh, God, Stell...

I'm a bloody good nurse, Pete!

I need this job. You know that.

Everything is falling
apart. Management are on us.

The other dad's lawyer
won't leave me alone.

Wait, Miles's lawyer? Why,
what's he been saying?

No, nothing. It...
Nothing. I'm sorry. Erm...

SIGHS I...

I shouldn't even be talking to
you. I just... need your help.

Look, I would if
I could. I just...

I honestly don't remember.

Look, I've got to finish
up. I'll see you, yeah?

WOMAN: 'As your hospital
dispute investigator,

'I'll gather information
from all parties

'to facilitate your claim
against St Alexander's Hospital.

'Today, I just want to
hear what you remember

'from the day of the birth.

'Shall we start
with you, Mr Riley?

'Erm, I remember
a lot of panic.'

Erm, a doctor, or maybe a nurse,

said they were worried
that, erm, Theo...

..or, erm, David,

hadn't received enough oxygen
and that they might not make it.

I was worried that

I might lose Maddie
as well as the baby.

What happened next?

Erm, they asked me to go
with the baby to the NICU.

I wanted to wait for Maddie,

but they didn't know how long
she was going to be in theatre.

Er, I kept thinking...

It's OK. Take your time.

I kept thinking,

if she... if she survived,

would I explain to her
that our baby was...

..was brain-damaged,
or worse, even?

When your baby
arrived in the NICU,

he was assigned
a nurse - Stella.

Yeah. She was
great. Erm... Yeah.

She explained what was happening,
did all the admission stuff,

put, um... the ID tag on Theo.

Did you see Stella
put the ID tag on?

Er, I think so, yeah. Yeah,
from what I can remember.

You're certain about that?

Yeah.

Yeah, I saw her put
the tag on the baby.

Yeah, it was the
first thing she did.

OK.

And then, erm, that night,
you stayed in the hospital?

Erm, yeah, I stayed in
the hospital that night...

FADES: and then, the
following morning,

I went home to
pick up some stuff.

If Theo had his tag on,

then the boys must have been swapped
as soon as they arrived in the NICU.

It could have slipped off
later. His legs were so tiny.

Do you remember Lucy
and Miles that day?

I honestly don't remember.

But you remember Theo's tag?

Er, yeah, I was
focused on Theo. SCOFFS

Yeah.

MONITOR BEEPS, BABY CRIES

Is that... is that OK?

It's perfect.

Hey, I was thinking we could
get David a bigger pad,

some paints, take
them for him tomorrow.

Yeah, sounds nice.

Which one shall we give

Hot tea? It's a hot kettle!

Hot kettle! Is it very hot?

Ooh, that's hot!
Daddy's burnt his mouth!

I found the first
photo from the NICU.

He didn't have his tag on.

I'm scared, Pete.

They're using my past against me,
so if we're not united on this,

we're going to
lose... everything.

If you think you owe anyone

at that hospital
anything, you don't.

The only people you need
to protect are our boys.

WHISPERS: Am I right?

Yeah!

MILES ROARS PLAYFULLY

MILES: Drop you? Oh,
no, no, no, no, no!

It's got your foot! Argh!

Oh! THEO LAUGHS

I've got another question
for you. THEO: Mm-hm?

Mm-hm. Where did you...?
Where did you come from?

Mummy Lucy's tummy.
That's right.

You were inside Mummy
Lucy's tummy, weren't you?

And who does Daddy love
most in the whole world?

Chinny-chin-chin!

And who's your real dada?

You! That's right.
I'm your real dada.

Aren't I? Dada Moles!

PETE: What did you do with
Miles and Lucy today, Theo?

Nothing.

Nothing? Mm-hm.

Did you not play any games?

What? 'About the baby swap.'

What are you talking about?

'It's got your name on it.'

Who sent it to you?
Was it Miles Lambert?

'Look, it's a great piece. I

Why is a journalist

about an article
which...? PHONE LINE BEEPS

'Hi. You've reached Miles
Lambert. Leave a message.'

Wow! You look incredible.

Erm, Jen is going

so can you please

OK? We need to show them that

Sorry.

OK, we can't stand

I'm going to need a stronger

Can you put your jacket back

MILES CHATS INDISTINCTLY

CLEARS HIS THROAT Miles?

Yes? You need to
pull that article.

Hey, matey. Do you
guys know Peter Riley?

He's a local gardener,
burgeoning writer.

You two, you guys need to talk.
Ooh, excuse me. Excuse me.

Interesting. Fiction or, erm...?

Er, no. No, I don't write any
more. It was a long time ago.

Can I get a dirty martini?

And can you rim the glass
with an orange peel, please?

How do you know Miles?

My husband's developing
a restaurant with him.

Mm! In London?

No, down here.

They're convinced it's going
to be the new go-to spot.

Down on Watergate
Bay. Do you know it?

Yes. Yes, I do. Very well.

Would you excuse me one moment?

You'd do that?! LUCY CHUCKLES

Good evening. Good
evening, everyone. Erm...

..I just want to thank
everyone for coming along

to support our new charity
for premature babies,

The David Foundation.

APPLAUSE

He's opening a new restaurant
right next to The Bay.

Obviously, it's a cause that's
very dear to me and my wife, Lucy.

You don't want to hear me speak,
so I'm actually going to invite her

up onto the stage to
tell you about it.

So, without further ado,
ladies and gentlemen,

my incredible, gorgeous
wife, Mrs Lucy Lambert.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

LUCY: Thank you.

Before I became a mother,

I had a successful
career as an artist.

I travelled the world
exhibiting my work,

and I had, in fact, one
of my largest exhibitions

in this very gallery.

And if you'd told me back then,
at the height of my career,

that, in a few years' time,

I would have given it all up
to become a full-time mother,

married to someone
like Miles... LAUGHTER

..and begging my
neighbours for cash,

I probably would have
told you to piss off!

LAUGHTER Er...

And yet here I am, a
completely changed woman,

all thanks to the birth
of my darling son, David.

Before David was born, I...

I don't think I truly
knew what love felt like.

Sorry, handsome!

Ouch! LAUGHTER

And yet, erm... yeah,
motherhood hasn't been easy.

We never expected our darling
son to arrive so early.

It was a shock we
weren't prepared for.

And those first few
weeks in intensive care

were... the scariest of my life.

BABY CRIES, MONITOR BEEPS

Erm... CHUCKLES SHAKILY

We had so many questions,

and yet nobody seemed
to have any answers.

So... we decided to change that

and create a charity

to support children and
families across the UK

living in the aftermath
of premature birth.

SHE CHUCKLES

Er, so, please dig deep,

and raise a glass to
The David Foundation.

ALL: The David Foundation!

APPLAUSE

HE CHATS INDISTINCTLY

THEY LAUGH

What an event!

HE MUMBLES INDISTINCTLY Look
at this place! It's amazing!

Yeah. Boys, this is my
new friend, Madelyn.

Oh, we're hardly
friends, now, Miles.

It's true. It's true.
We're almost family now.

Well, you can't
choose your family.

PETE: Mads, Mads...
Sorry about this.

..do you want to go for a walk?

Where do you get off
hosting sh*t like this

when you're stealing
other people's children?

I mean, what else are you hiding
in that big glass house of yours?

Mads... It's fine,
Pete, honestly.

She's just having one of
her... Maddie moments.

Oh, sorry, do you want
to say something, Pete,

or does she do all
the talking here?

Well, you know what they say about
people in glass houses, Miles.

We're, er... We're
fighting for both of them.

You should know.

Come on.

Right, drive safe.

Now, I think it might
be a cow. Or is it a...?

Dinosaur! Is it a
dinosaur? Are you sure?

Who wants toast?! MADDIE GASPS

Yeah! Toast and tea
- Mummy's medicine.

And my favourite
glass... Uh-uh!

No, that's for the big
man. No, is that not mine?

Theo, that's for you!

How's it going? Well,
T's doing a great job.

SIGHS We've got this.

WHISPERS: Course we have.

THEY CHUCKLE Here.

For you.

This is for me? Yeah.

Now, I don't know
about this bit, though.

DOORBELL RINGS

Dinosaur! I'm really so
comfortable right now,

I can't... If I stand up...

Obviously I'm going.
Obviously I'm going.

You've got such strong
legs! Yeah, yeah, yeah!

MILES PANTS

WOMAN: Peter Riley? Yes?

My name's DS Ridley. This
is my colleague DS Chopra.

We're investigating
the alleged abduction

of Theo Lambert from
St Alexander's Hospital

on the 4th of January 2022.

We'd like you to come to
the station for questioning.

What?

As the matter was escalated
from an internal investigation

to a legal action, we're now
handling this investigation

for the hospital dispute team.

Right. Well, I'm not going
anywhere. You can talk to me here.

If you refuse to come
with us voluntarily,

you are liable for arrest.

Pete, what's going on?

Er, I've got to go and
answer some... questions,

but I'll be back soon.

Sorry, can you explain
what's happening here?

Mr Riley. Yeah, I'm coming.

It's OK. It's OK, honestly.

It's a misunderstanding.
THEO: Dada!

Dada, stay at home!
I'll be back soon!

No, wait, Pete! Pete!

Take Theo inside, Mads.
