00:00She had to put it together so that she herself could understand it.
00:04I was about to take everything away from Catherine Ravenscroft.
00:13Now I can start.
00:17Catherine's life has already fallen apart.
00:20Her marriage has fallen apart.
00:22She's got nothing to lose.
00:23But there's something she cannot allow to fall apart.
00:26And that is her son.
00:29Robert thinks of himself as a great father.
00:32And the competitive part of him loves that he's winning at parenting.
00:38But we come to find out that Robert doesn't actually know as much about Nicholas' life as he thinks he does.
00:44And in fact, he may not really know his son at all.
00:48Being the parent of four children, I really understand parental guilt.
00:54And so the guilt that she felt of not being able to save her son the first time.
01:01And that was left up to somebody else.
01:04She wasn't going to do that a second time.
01:09She was galvanized by the trauma.
01:11What are you doing? He can't be in here.
01:13And was quite dangerous in that moment.
01:16Get away from my son!
01:23You don't get a complete picture of what sort of family they were on the surface.
01:27They seemed to be a relatively normal family, to all intents and purposes.
01:32But they didn't really ask a lot of questions of one another.
01:35There are a lot of things we don't want to know.
01:37And that we don't want known about us.
01:39This event had been told through the novel's perspective.
01:43Now, she's saying, I'm going to sit down and I am going to try to remember this moment.
01:49I'm going to sit down and I am going to try to remember this thing in order.
01:55So I don't forget any part.
01:57Shut up.
01:58I'm finally speaking.
02:00No, no, no. Don't get in my way.
02:01Because it seems like a scene with two people over a table.
02:04But it made total sense to me that she had to put it together.
02:08So that she herself could understand it.
02:11It was really important that she go through all of those steps.
