00:01My daughter almost died in front of me.
00:04You need to stop getting in the medical team's way.
00:06I just need to get her out of there.
00:08For God's sake, get control of your drinking.
00:10Are you having an affair with Charlotte Hinman?
00:12If you want me to represent you alone,
00:14know that this will be an act of war against your marriage.
00:18Things are likely to escalate
00:20as a result of all three of your children now showing indicators of abuse.
00:23On the laptop, check the search history.
00:26We need to ensure that you maintain custody of these children
00:29if they go after Jess.
00:30I'm saying this is serious.
00:41Do you really have to go to work?
00:42I don't have a choice.

07:43No, no.
07:49Sweet dreams.
07:50Stand up, please, Mrs. Carrisford.
08:06Jessica Carrisford, I'm arresting you for abducting a child in care.
08:10You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defense.
08:12If you do not mention, when questioned, something which you later rely on in court.
08:15Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
08:17Be gentle with her.
08:18I don't think Jess even knew what she wanted to do when she took Betsy.
08:20I don't think Jess even knew what she wanted to do when she took Betsy.
08:22I don't think she was thinking that far ahead.
08:27I think she believed that just in that moment, Betsy needed her more.
08:28I don't think Jess even knew what she wanted to do when she took Betsy.
08:30I don't think she was thinking that far ahead.
08:32I think she believed that just in that moment, Betsy needed her more.
08:33I don't think Jess even knew what she wanted to do when she took Betsy.
08:46I don't think she was thinking that far ahead.
08:49I think she believed that just in that moment, Betsy needed her more.
08:55But, Shah, this can't be a repeat of Friday.
09:04You know what, you can't actually kick me out tonight.
09:09Remember?
09:10The safety plan.
09:11I legally have to be here.
09:14Dad, I'll go.
09:15Just don't tell Rustin that you're sleeping over.
09:17He's already convinced we're having an affair.
09:19What, the bar?
09:21The copious amounts of alcohol?
09:23I can see how he reached that conclusion.
09:37Eddie.
09:38Hmm?
09:44Andrew, he's a really wonderful man.
09:46I mean, we don't even fight, but he's not, um...
09:51He's not...
09:54He's not you.
09:57So, I don't know how you feel, okay?
10:00But for me, it's always been the same.
10:02Well, I can't bear seeing you like this.
10:04And so I'm just, I'm gonna say it.
10:06I'm gonna say it out loud, and then it's just done, okay?
10:09Yeah.
10:10Yeah.
10:16I'm in love with you.
10:21I love you, Ed.
10:27I always have.
10:29And...
10:33I'm...
10:34Yeah, I'm prepared to leave Andrew.
10:36For you.
10:37I love you.
11:00Oh, sorry.
11:01I...
11:07Oh, my God.
11:12I'm so sorry.
11:15Charlotte.
11:18You are my dear, dear friend.
11:21I think the world of you.
11:22But I do love Jess.
11:26I'm gonna do everything I can to protect her and be there for her.
11:32And I'm sorry, but you and I, that...
11:36This can't happen.
11:37This can't happen.
11:41It's Liz.
11:47Ed?
11:48Yeah?
11:49Jess has been arrested.
11:50She tried to take Betsy.
11:51What?
11:53The baby's okay, though.
11:54Oh, my God.
11:55Okay.
11:57Jess just tried to abduct Betsy.
11:59Ed?
12:01Go on.
12:02Where's Jess now?
12:03All right, thank you.
12:04Thanks, Liz.
12:07Thanks, Liz.
12:35Hello?
12:37You're home then?
12:38Yeah, I want to see Connor.
12:40Oh.
12:43Feeling guilty?
12:44No.
12:45He doesn't want to see you.
12:46You're home then?
12:51Yeah, I want to see Connor.
12:57Oh. Feeling guilty?
13:01No. He doesn't want to see you.
13:04I need to ask him about what happens now.
13:08Because he told you anything.
13:11I don't want a bully for a son.
13:14Connor's not a bully.
13:16You sure about that, are you?
13:19Yeah.
13:25Did you take money out of my account?
13:28My card got declined today.
13:30Yeah, I did. I needed to top up the mortgage payment,
13:32but I'll put some money into your account later.
13:35My phone's not working.
13:38Well, I forgot to pay the bill.
13:44But were things really that bad?
13:51I don't know why you just won't let me get a job.
14:05Um...
14:12Doing what, exactly?
14:15Sorry, remind me what it is that you're qualified to do.
14:24Where are you going? Come on.
14:26It's here, Connor.
14:27Well, bad luck, because these are my sisters, so...
14:31Why, don't you believe me?
14:48Andrew, what is going on?
14:50How, how did you get...
14:51Ed?
14:52Ed?
14:53They won't even tell me why they were arrested.
14:54Ed, go home.
14:55You're not doing anyone any good here.
14:57I'm not gonna leave?
14:59I've just spoken to the duty sergeant,
15:01and they've told me they're not gonna interview her tonight.
15:05They're gonna, they're gonna keep her?
15:06They can keep her for 24 hours.
15:10Go be with your boys.
15:11Yeah.
15:12Alright.
15:13Alright.
15:41Bad.
15:42Bad.
15:43Bad.
15:44Bad.
15:45Mother.
16:11War.
16:41What's happening?
17:06Baby's stuck.
17:11Push now, be south. We need to get her out.
17:18No!
17:30Is she dead?
17:40The sentient went to touch. She's beating out.
17:48I'm not a creature.
17:55I'm not a creature.
17:58I'm not a creature.
18:00That's a creature.
18:02Jess.
18:24Jess.
18:28Oh, thank God.
18:30Oh, Andrew.
18:32How are you?
18:36I brought you some food and a cup of coffee.
18:50Now, if you agree to instruct me,
18:52I will act as your legal representative today.
19:03Her lawyer's arrived.
19:06So, current timeline we are working to.
19:08Friday after school, Jess is at home alone with their two youngest.
19:12She claims that Betsy slips, bumps her head on the fridge.
19:16No, but Socko found no DNA evidence backing this up.
19:18Their eldest Kit arrives home at 6.45 from football.
19:22And Jill Baker, the parent who dropped Kit off,
19:24hears the baby crying from the driveway.
19:26But Jess claims that she puts the kids to bed as normal.
19:29She turns in herself around 9.
19:31Ed gets home at 10, inebriated, finds the baby in distress,
19:35raises the alarm.
19:37Anything else?
19:38I asked Financial Investigations to expand their check.
19:43Look at the time of that transaction.
19:45Whose card was used?
19:47Jessica Carrisford.
19:49Have we sent a PCSO to pull CCTV?
19:53Yeah.
19:54For now, we've got to focus on this interview.
19:57What are you thinking?
19:58I think the Carrisfords lived a very charmed life
20:00until child number three,
20:02and that's when everything started to fall apart.
20:05Are we looking at a violent mother
20:07who hurt a child on purpose?
20:09Or a desperate woman who accidentally lost control?
20:16Yeah, I mean, either way,
20:18she put her sick child at serious risk
20:20by snatching her from ICU last night.
20:22Mm-hmm.
20:23Oh, last thing?
20:24Yeah.
20:25Her lawyer, Andrew Hinman,
20:27married to Charlotte Hinman.
20:30Quite the tight-knit, well-to-do social circle, isn't it?
20:40Now, I have to ask,
20:41has anyone interviewed you
20:43since you were taken into custody?
20:45No.
20:46Has anyone made you sign anything?
20:50Have you said anything to the police
20:52that I need to be made aware of
20:54when they brought you in?
20:56Like what?
20:58What are you suggesting?
21:01I just saw a big blur last night.
21:03I don't remember much.
21:05Jess, I'm here as your friend,
21:06but I'm also your lawyer now.
21:08I will protect you,
21:09but you have to be completely honest with me.
21:13Of course.
21:15So is there something you want to tell me?
21:18Something you haven't told anyone?
21:21About what happened?
21:22They weren't looking after her.
21:28They weren't looking after her.
21:29They weren't looking after her.
21:40Anyway, go ask you to get me.
21:42I'll be quiet.
21:44What's sake, Rob?
21:45Why did you rush them in?
21:46Oh, Steady.
21:47I wanted to talk to you,
21:48and I wanted to say goodbye.
21:49I'm sorry.
21:50You knew that.
21:51Sorry.
21:52I didn't see you,
21:53and I'm not a mind reader.
21:54Why are you doing this?
21:55Doing what?
21:56I'm really sorry about this.
21:57Sorry.
21:58What are you talking about?
21:59I've been waving the kids off to school.
22:00You know, it's really hard for them
22:01not to feel abandoned, yeah,
22:03when the mum's just left them.
22:05You're punishing me.
22:06What?
22:07All I'm doing is helping our friends out for a few days.
22:09Mel, you're my partner,
22:10and I love you,
22:11and I want you to come home tonight.
22:13Well, just don't fucking bother coming back at all.
22:15Help me!
22:18Now, do you know what, Rob?
22:20I'm not doing this anymore.
22:21I've had enough!
22:23Mel.
22:24Hey, Mel.
22:26Come on.
22:27We're coming home with you.
22:28Come on.
22:29Come on.
22:38What are you going on?
22:48Nick.
22:51There's gonna be a clinical incident report with my name on it,
22:53and that is not good.
22:55But what happened isn't your fault.
22:58And whatever she's going through,
23:00she's obviously not coping, so...
23:02Yeah, and then I went and made it worse.
23:08Could I just put a note on her file?
23:16The minute she came into A&E on Friday night,
23:18I never gave her enough time.
23:21You know?
23:22I was just...
23:24focused on the baby.
23:25I was in work mode.
23:26I didn't treat her like a friend.
23:28I treated her like a stranger.
23:30I...
23:31I just think you're being a little hard on yourself.
23:34You know, if...
23:35If you're in a safeguarding role,
23:37you have to act.
23:42See you at it, don't it?
23:46Would I have called social services on Jess?
23:48I...
23:49Probably?
23:50I don't know.
23:51It's hard.
23:52It's Jess.
23:54Right?
23:55How was the hangover?
24:08I'm not.
24:09I don't...
24:11It's bin day.
24:12I found the bottle of Prosecco.
24:16Oh, don't start.
24:17I...
24:18Honestly.
24:20It's like my first drink in three days.
24:26Well done on your remarkable restraint.
24:27Yeah, thanks.
24:29I surprise myself sometimes.
24:40Shouldn't you be at school?
24:42It's...
24:43It's Korea's morning.
24:44I've...
24:45Got a free period.
24:52You know, a whole bottle of Prosecco at midnight is...
24:55It's not nothing.
25:11I'm sorry.
25:27Won't happen again.
25:29It will.
25:30Until you realise that you can't just have one drink.
25:32All right.
25:33Everybody's got their own...
25:35Unhealthy coping mechanisms, haven't they?
25:37It's just...
25:39It's not every day.
25:40It is.
25:43And I'm worried.
25:48Hello, Mrs. Carriswood.
25:54Right.
25:58So, there'll be a buzzing for a couple of seconds,
26:00and then we can stop.
26:07Okay, Jess.
26:08Tell us about when you took Betsy.
26:13Why did you do it?
26:17Because I love her, and I was worried about her.
26:21But taking her away meant you put her in danger.
26:24I wasn't thinking.
26:27I was trying to protect her.
26:29I thought they were gonna take her away from me.
26:34You grew up in the US, didn't you?
26:36Yes.
26:37Somewhere without a public healthcare system.
26:39And you don't care for our medical system.
26:41I don't really trust doctors.
26:44I don't think they always know best.
26:46And you don't like medicating your children, is that right?
26:51Not unless it's strictly necessary.
26:56And you don't believe in vaccinating your children.
27:01I believe vaccines are risky.
27:04And that drug companies aren't always transparent.
27:07But that's an informed choice.
27:08That's hardly a crime.
27:10Look, I know it's an unpopular opinion, but...
27:13I am trying to do what's best for my children.
27:19And to keep them safe. Always.
27:24And do you always try to keep Betsy safe, Jess?
27:27Of course I do. That's what mothers do.
27:29But you didn't keep her safe on Friday, did you?
27:32Yes, I did.
27:33Well, then can you explain to me why it took you over five hours
27:35to bring her into the hospital?
27:37Because I'm a bad mother.
27:39I told you.
27:40I didn't want to overreact. I told you all of this already.
27:45It didn't seem any more serious than a tumble that my two boys might have had
27:49when they were toddlers.
27:51Well, you're a bad mother.
27:52An evil mother.
27:54My client has said she didn't realize the severity of the injury.
27:57Yeah, but you didn't even bring her in after she'd been sick in her cot.
28:00That's a clear sign of a concussion.
28:01I didn't know that she'd been sick. I was asleep.
28:05Right. According to your husband, you were in bed.
28:10It had been quite a day and I was exhausted.
28:13But if I had known that she was sick or was crying, of course I would have gone in.
28:19I mean, I'm not a monster. I'm not the mother you think I am.
28:22Look, by all accounts, you're an attentive mother. A good mother. Aren't you, Jess?
28:28Yes.
28:29Your children are always well dressed and fed.
28:32Look, there was nothing else of any concern on Betsy's skeletal survey.
28:35And look, we've seen the social media posts, the happy kids and the beautiful home.
28:41Okay.
28:42So what I'm struggling to understand is what happened that made you dismiss Betsy's injuries as something that didn't need hospital attention.
28:53Because an attentive mother is always alert to the possibility of her baby waking up.
28:57She doesn't just lie there ignoring her baby.
29:01I was not ignoring her.
29:02My partner said she was exhausted. She fell asleep.
29:09What does your husband think of your relationship with Betsy, Jess?
29:12What?
29:13Does Ed think that you're bonded with Betsy? Does he think you're in tune with Betsy's needs?
29:18I think so.
29:20But isn't that what you argued about? Isn't that why he had to come home Friday lunchtime to check up on you?
29:25Because he was concerned about your relationship with your daughter.
29:31How does that make you feel? Your husband coming home to check up on you? Does that make you feel angry?
29:38So angry that you would take it out on Betsy?
29:40They think I'm a bad mother.
29:42And Betsy is upstairs screaming!
29:44You're a bad mother.
29:46You're an evil mother.
29:48No!
29:49Did you know that your husband was so concerned that he confided in a female friend minutes after leaving you on Friday lunchtime?
29:57What are you talking about?
29:58Immediately after leaving you on Friday, he and this friend, they shared a few bottles of wine, an intimate wine bar.
30:06In fact, they spent the rest of the afternoon together into the evening.
30:09I don't know what you're saying. With who?
30:11Mrs. Charlotte Hinman.
30:12Did you find out about your husband's betrayal? Did it make you angry, Jess?
30:18No.
30:19So angry the next time you're with Betsy, you're changing her nappy. Maybe you're a bit brusque with her.
30:22Rough with her.
30:23No.
30:24Maybe she just wouldn't be quiet, right?
30:25You're distressed because Ed is coming home to check up on you and you've just found out that he is confiding in Charlotte Hinman.
30:31No.
30:32You're frustrated. You're exhausted. These are a lot of emotions, Jess, right?
30:35No.
30:36She just will not be quiet.
30:38Did you want to grip her a bit harder? Did you want to shake some sense into her?
30:41No.
30:42You know that you shouldn't do it.
30:43But it's all getting a bit much.
30:44You're a bit much.
30:45You're a bit much.
30:46You're just accident.
30:47You're changing her nappy. It's all getting a bit much.
30:48Maybe you accidentally grip her hard.
30:50Did you want to shake her? Shake some sense into her?
30:52No.
30:53No.
30:54Just bang her head, Jess.
30:57No.
30:58Sorry, I think my client needs a moment. Perhaps we could, uh, take a short break, please?
31:08Okay.
31:15All right.
31:28When our babies were tiny, Jess became convinced that they'd slept together at uni.
31:33It became an obsession.
31:36She worried that Ed would find a Charlotte more attractive and leave.
31:42We could all see that Ed adored Jess and Charlotte could only have ever been a fling.
31:46At best.
31:49Still, nothing you could ever tell me but those two would surprise me.
31:53What to say, Jess?
31:54No, no, no, no.
31:56Sorry.
31:57My son.
31:58...
31:59I can't believe Jess, of all people, has been arrested.
32:24I know.
32:27It's devastated.
32:29Andrew said the police are being relentless and it's hard to imagine a jury feeling any sympathy for a mother who's accused of harming her baby.
32:38But Mel, we also need to talk about what just happened at school.
32:42I don't understand, why is he being so vile to you?
32:46He's lovely 80% of the time.
32:49He just doesn't like it when I do something he doesn't want me to do, like helping out the Carrisfords.
33:00And he's really secretive about money.
33:07I never see any bills.
33:09The house is in his name.
33:10I have no idea how much money we've got or haven't got.
33:14What?
33:15And now he's withdrawn the amount he gives me each month.
33:18Wait, he gives you an allowance?
33:19I don't think of it like that.
33:21Look, since he was made redundant, we've...
33:25Hold on, he was made redundant?
33:27I thought he was striking out on his own.
33:29Yeah, well that's what he wanted to think.
33:31But I had never invested.
33:34I don't know, Charlotte.
33:36Every relationship has its ups and downs.
33:38Well, yes, I know it does.
33:41But Mel, this is extreme.
33:45I'm not like you.
33:48With your career, your confidence, your determinations.
33:54I haven't worked in over a decade.
33:57I've no income, no savings.
34:01He said if I ever try and leave him, he'll take the kids.
34:05I knew he was a bit of a dick, but...
34:10I don't know how you put up with it.
34:13I mean, you can't be happy.
34:15Are you happy all the time?
34:18Well, no.
34:20Of course, everybody knows marriage is hard,
34:23and at least you've got a good one in Andrew.
34:35So, we'd like to talk about the timeline Friday early evening,
34:45specifically the time between 6 and 6.30.
34:48You told us that once you'd returned home from the school run,
34:51you didn't leave the house again.
34:53Kit was picked up for football at 4.45, but you didn't leave.
34:57Is that still your recollection?
35:00No comment, please, Jess.
35:03Yes.
35:05Now, as discussed, everyone that we've spoken to
35:08has described you as a very attentive mother.
35:12Would you agree with that assessment?
35:14Sorry for the tape.
35:18Yes.
35:20You're not the sort of mother who would leave
35:22her young children alone in the house.
35:29I'm not that sort of mother, no.
35:32And just to clarify, your stance on medicating your children
35:35is so firm that you would only do so
35:39if strictly necessary.
35:45You wouldn't even keep children's paracetamol in the house.
36:04Frankie!
36:07Goddammit!
36:09I'm just trying to get better.
36:11You're not ready, unfortunately.
36:12I can't stand here.
36:13I'm like, oh, wow!
36:14I'm crying.
36:15I'm registration.
36:16I'm going to get better.
36:17I'm trying to get better.
36:19You're too late.
36:20I need to pull out myобиль.
36:21I'm going to get better.
36:22Oh, come on.
36:23I'm crying.
36:28I'm like, okay!
36:31I don't get better.
36:33I'm thinking, I'm going to get better.
36:35I'm not thinking, I'm going to get better.
36:36I don't know, I'm going to get better.
36:37I'm just trying to help.
36:39Please don't scream.
36:41I'm just trying to help.
36:43Please don't scream.
36:45Please.
36:47Don't scream.
36:49Stop crying!
36:55I'm a bad mother.
36:59A bad, bad mother.
37:07I'm a bad mother and I'm a bad mother.
37:11I'm a bad mother.
37:13I'm a bad mother.
37:15Oh, we're three.
37:17You've got a baby.
37:19Please don't care, stop.
37:21Yeah, that's a big deal.
37:23OK, bye bye.
37:25See you back.
37:27Bye bye.
37:29Bye.
37:31Maybe you haven't.
37:33Bye bye.
37:35Bye bye.
37:36Hi, what can I get you?
37:39Children's paracetamol, please.
37:41Ah, is it for baby or the older ones?
37:43Ah, the baby.
37:44Is she teething?
37:45Peekaboo! Peekaboo! Peekaboo!
37:54There you go.
38:01This footage shows you in superb deli stores at 6.23
38:04on the day you brought Betsy to hospital.
38:06You're purchasing children's paracetamol
38:08an hour after you said your daughter sustained a head injury.
38:11I must object to this being sprung on my client without warning.
38:14This is you in the footage, yes?
38:18For the tape, please.
38:20Yes.
38:22You look distressed in this recording.
38:24I can't be deduced from this image.
38:26We also spoke to Jill Baker, who dropped Kit off at 6.45.
38:28She confirmed that you seemed distressed, distracted,
38:31like you'd been crying.
38:33Had you been crying, Jess?
38:39Possibly.
38:43Possibly.
38:45Hmm.
38:46Probably.
38:49Something happened to cause this distress.
38:53What happened, Jess?
38:54Jess, what happened that was so distressing,
38:56that you would leave your ten-month-old baby
38:58and your young son
39:00to go and buy medicine that you would only use
39:03if strictly necessary?
39:05Medicine that was necessary
39:07because you knew that Betsy was hurt.
39:10Why would you leave them, Jess?
39:12Did you leave them after you did something that you didn't intend?
39:19After getting frustrated and losing your temper?
39:22Jess?
39:25You leave them because you hurt Betsy?
39:30How did you fracture her skull, Jess?
39:31I didn't.
39:32I didn't.
39:37I didn't do it.
39:38I could.
39:39I could.
39:55Hello, sweetheart.
39:56Oh, hello.
39:58You better keep your distance, young man.
40:00I'm not pleased with you at all at all.
40:02Are you coming home?
40:04Don't change the subject.
40:05You're never home.
40:06Hey, listen, I actually came home to talk to you last night about Frankie, but...
40:10Hey, listen, listen, you and I,
40:12we're gonna have a proper conversation about all this.
40:15You can't treat people like that without serious consequences.
40:23Hiya.
40:24Where's money?
40:25Oh, Betsy.
40:26But have you seen Kit's cool cast?
40:27Oh.
40:28You okay?
40:29Yeah, good.
40:30I can take the kids to Jess's for pizza.
40:32Well, considering our son was the one being attacked yesterday,
40:34I think we should probably head off, don't you?
40:36Come on, you two.
40:37Come on.
40:38It's a play date. They're fine.
40:39Look, they've got homework.
40:41Since when did you give a shit about homework?
40:43Well, one of us has got to be responsible.
40:44Molly, Connor, in the car now.
40:46Oh, just remember what I said earlier, okay?
40:48Tonight.
40:49Good night.
40:55Come on, troops.
40:57Let's go home.
41:03Hi.
41:04Oh, hey.
41:05How was work?
41:08Yeah.
41:09No drama.
41:10Apart from someone totally trashed the boys' toilets.
41:14Ew.
41:15There.
41:16How was your day?
41:18Yeah, it was good.
41:20I, um, spent the afternoon Googling symptoms, actually.
41:23Went down a bit of a wormhole.
41:24It still terrifies me that doctors use Google.
41:27I just...
41:29You know we all do it, right?
41:32Go on, then.
41:33Okay, so...
41:35I think Jess is suffering from a mental health disorder.
41:38A postnatal anxiety.
41:39I found this thing called perinatal OCD.
41:43It's a form of obsessive compulsive disorder,
41:45but it's triggered by the birth of a child.
41:48In this case, Betsy.
41:50Oh.
41:51I just think it would explain her behaviour over the last few days
41:54and why she's not quite the Jess we know.
41:57Hmm.
41:58What do you think I should do?
42:00Well, I mean...
42:02You have to tell Ed.
42:04Not exactly his favourite person right now.
42:06Well, I mean...
42:09I could come with you.
42:10Bit of solidarity.
42:11Thanks, but I just...
42:13I don't think so.
42:14Hey, hey.
42:16If you think that this can help Jess,
42:18then you have to try.
42:20Even if Ed isn't your biggest fan,
42:22Jess is what matters most.
42:24Hmm.
42:32And I've been thinking about what you said this morning.
42:36Yeah?
42:37Yeah, about the drinking.
42:39And you're right.
42:40And I do need to sort it out.
42:41And I will.
42:42That's really good, Frank.
42:43Okay.
42:44Pizzas are in.
42:45Thank you, Auntie Charlotte.
42:46Thanks, Auntie Charlotte.
42:47Thanks, Auntie Charlotte.
42:48Thanks, Auntie Charlotte.
42:49The answer's 89.
42:50Sweet.
42:51Right then.
42:52We'll do the last one after dinner.
42:53I really know the last one, Dad.
42:54Go on.
42:55It's Dee.
42:56Hi.
42:57Hi.
42:58Hi.
42:59Hi.
43:00Hi.
43:01Hi.
43:02Hi, guys.
43:03Just wanted to see how you're getting on.
43:05How's Jess?
43:06I just had a call if you had any news.
43:07Right then.
43:08We should hear in the next few hours.
43:09I've been doing some reading and I think that Jess is suffering from a thing called perinatal OCD.
43:10All right.
43:11Go on.
43:12It manifests itself.
43:13Yes, I'm sorry.
43:14No, wait.
43:15Yes, I'm sorry.
43:16Thank you, Meg.
43:19Thank you, Amy.
43:20Thank you, Amy.
43:23Thanks, Amy.
43:25Thanks for taking a break.

43:46or compulsive cleaning to manage your thoughts for how long
43:51probably since betsy was born and she might have been trying to keep control ever since then

45:38the magistrates court for your first appearance where the court will decide if you should get bail
