_

2
00:00:05,491 --> 00:00:07,325
In the criminal justice system,

3
00:00:07,327 --> 00:00:10,461
sexually based offenses are
considered especially heinous.

4
00:00:11,202 --> 00:00:13,803
In New York City,
the dedicated detectives

5
00:00:13,805 --> 00:00:15,405
who investigate these vicious felonies

6
00:00:15,407 --> 00:00:16,906
are members of an elite squad

7
00:00:16,908 --> 00:00:18,941
known as the Special Victims Unit.

8
00:00:19,010 --> 00:00:20,810
These are their stories.

9
00:00:23,515 --> 00:00:25,715
Grandma?

10
00:00:27,752 --> 00:00:29,152
He's my blood.

11
00:00:29,220 --> 00:00:31,320
He will never be a part of you

12
00:00:31,389 --> 00:00:32,855
the way he is a part of me.

13
00:00:32,924 --> 00:00:35,525
Grandma, Grandma!

14
00:00:35,593 --> 00:00:37,093
Hey, mama's here, sweet boy.

15
00:00:37,162 --> 00:00:39,595
Mama's here, you're okay.
Grandma Sheila.

16
00:00:39,664 --> 00:00:41,364
- I saw her.
- Oh, honey.

17
00:00:41,433 --> 00:00:44,667
You just had a dream, okay?
But mama's here with you now.

18
00:00:44,736 --> 00:00:46,502
- Can I sleep with you again?
- Noah.

19
00:00:46,571 --> 00:00:48,004
You know how we talked about you

20
00:00:48,072 --> 00:00:49,939
sleeping in your own bed
all night, remember?

21
00:00:50,008 --> 00:00:51,674
Please, mama,
please, mama, please, mama.

22
00:00:51,743 --> 00:00:54,343
Okay, okay, okay.

23
00:00:54,412 --> 00:00:56,312
One more night, okay?

24
00:00:58,750 --> 00:01:01,117
Eddie wants to sleep with us too.

25
00:01:01,186 --> 00:01:03,486
Of course, it wouldn't
be a proper slumber party

26
00:01:03,555 --> 00:01:04,787
without Eddie.

27
00:01:04,856 --> 00:01:08,291
Grandma Sheila, is she all right?

28
00:01:08,359 --> 00:01:12,261
- Yes, honey, of course.
- I want to see her.

29
00:01:14,098 --> 00:01:16,632
Okay, now let's go to bed, honey.

30
00:01:16,701 --> 00:01:18,959
Let's go to bed.

31
00:01:19,377 --> 00:01:21,137
_

32
00:01:21,339 --> 00:01:24,073
This morning, we're going to continue
with ecosystems.

33
00:01:24,142 --> 00:01:25,870
Now who remembers what ecology is?

34
00:01:25,905 --> 00:01:28,744
I know, I know! How organisms act
to each other in their environments.

35
00:01:28,813 --> 00:01:31,847
Good, Taylor, but next time,
wait till I call on you.

36
00:01:31,916 --> 00:01:35,184
Now organisms are... Mariel?

37
00:01:35,253 --> 00:01:37,019
Any living thing.

38
00:01:37,088 --> 00:01:40,189
Yes, and living things
interact in different ways.

39
00:01:40,258 --> 00:01:42,758
Now some can cooperate,
like ants building a nest.

40
00:01:42,827 --> 00:01:46,796
And others prey on each other.
So who can give me an example?

41
00:01:46,864 --> 00:01:48,764
The tick is sucking the dog's blood.

42
00:01:48,833 --> 00:01:50,900
It means the tick is a parasite.

43
00:01:50,968 --> 00:01:54,003
- Yeah...
- Are you okay?

44
00:01:54,072 --> 00:01:57,873
I'm on a new medicine,
it's making me sleepy.

45
00:01:57,942 --> 00:02:00,543
- Oh, okay.
- I'll be fine.

46
00:02:00,611 --> 00:02:04,380
Okay, clean up, everyone.
Snack time.

47
00:02:04,449 --> 00:02:08,084
- I'm sorry I spilled juice.
- No worries, accidents happen.

48
00:02:08,152 --> 00:02:10,753
Let's just get some paper towels.

49
00:02:14,692 --> 00:02:16,292
Oh, my God, Cody!

50
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,928
Go find Principal Flock, now!

51
00:02:20,965 --> 00:02:24,333
Mariel McLaughlin is 15,
has MD, epilepsy,

52
00:02:24,402 --> 00:02:27,636
and some learning issues.
Cody Hill is 19, has autism.

53
00:02:27,705 --> 00:02:29,305
And you said a teacher
found them together?

54
00:02:29,373 --> 00:02:31,440
On the floor of a supply closet.

55
00:02:31,509 --> 00:02:33,075
We don't really know
what was happening,

56
00:02:33,144 --> 00:02:34,176
but we do have mandated reporting.

57
00:02:34,245 --> 00:02:35,911
You did the right thing.

58
00:02:35,980 --> 00:02:38,147
This is Mariel and Cody's
teacher, Vanessa Banks.

59
00:02:38,216 --> 00:02:39,482
They should have been supervised,

60
00:02:39,550 --> 00:02:41,283
I don't know how they slipped away.

61
00:02:41,352 --> 00:02:43,252
- Did they say anything to you?
- Not really.

62
00:02:43,321 --> 00:02:44,920
They were both pretty upset.

63
00:02:44,989 --> 00:02:46,422
So I thought it best to separate them.

64
00:02:46,491 --> 00:02:48,924
Their parents are on the way.

65
00:02:48,993 --> 00:02:50,926
Obviously we don't want legal action.

66
00:02:50,995 --> 00:02:52,428
Mariel is underage.

67
00:02:52,497 --> 00:02:54,263
Well they have
impaired social interaction.

68
00:02:54,332 --> 00:02:56,098
They're very sheltered, immature.

69
00:02:56,167 --> 00:02:58,300
Okay, we'll talk to them.
We'll sort it out.

70
00:03:00,404 --> 00:03:04,006
- Am I in trouble?
- Oh, no, honey.

71
00:03:04,075 --> 00:03:06,142
I just need to figure out
what happened

72
00:03:06,210 --> 00:03:09,678
between you and Cody.
Oh, my God, Mariel.

73
00:03:09,747 --> 00:03:11,480
Detective Rollins, SVU.

74
00:03:11,549 --> 00:03:15,117
- You called the police?
- We had to, Mrs. McLaughlin.

75
00:03:15,186 --> 00:03:18,888
Mariel, are you all right?

76
00:03:18,956 --> 00:03:20,122
What happened?

77
00:03:20,191 --> 00:03:23,492
Mommy, Cody raped me.

78
00:03:27,031 --> 00:03:29,031
- Oh, my God, sweetie.
- Okay.

79
00:03:29,100 --> 00:03:31,133
Are you okay?

80
00:04:10,937 --> 00:04:15,884
- sync and corrections by Zac -
www.addic7ed.com -

81
00:04:19,033 --> 00:04:21,611
I'm sure my son
didn't do anything wrong.

82
00:04:21,646 --> 00:04:23,283
Tell the police officer, Cody.

83
00:04:23,318 --> 00:04:26,168
Can you tell me how you and uh...

84
00:04:26,170 --> 00:04:28,504
And Mariel ended up
alone in the supply room?

85
00:04:28,706 --> 00:04:30,405
I told the cafeteria monitor

86
00:04:30,407 --> 00:04:32,875
that Mariel left her sweater in class.

87
00:04:32,877 --> 00:04:34,209
And I wheeled her out.

88
00:04:34,278 --> 00:04:35,878
Okay, and when you were alone,

89
00:04:35,946 --> 00:04:37,279
what did you do?

90
00:04:37,348 --> 00:04:38,947
I helped her out of the wheelchair.

91
00:04:39,016 --> 00:04:42,751
We laid down on the floor,
then we had sex.

92
00:04:42,820 --> 00:04:45,120
- Cody, what?
- It's okay.

93
00:04:45,189 --> 00:04:46,622
Mariel's the Little Mermaid,

94
00:04:46,690 --> 00:04:48,724
because she can't
use her legs so good.

95
00:04:48,793 --> 00:04:50,626
And I'm her prince, Eric.

96
00:04:50,694 --> 00:04:52,728
That's his favorite movie.

97
00:04:52,797 --> 00:04:55,831
Look, this is just kids being kids.

98
00:04:55,900 --> 00:04:58,167
My son doesn't even fully
understand what sex is.

99
00:04:58,235 --> 00:04:59,434
Yeah, I do.

100
00:04:59,503 --> 00:05:01,236
You put your penis inside the girl.

101
00:05:01,305 --> 00:05:03,572
It means you're in love.

102
00:05:05,376 --> 00:05:08,477
- Is that what you did, Cody?
- Yeah.

103
00:05:10,214 --> 00:05:11,947
I don't know what to say.

104
00:05:12,016 --> 00:05:14,116
This is a discipline issue,
not a police matter.

105
00:05:14,185 --> 00:05:15,617
It might be, Mr. Hill.

106
00:05:15,686 --> 00:05:17,653
Did Mariel's mother make a complaint?

107
00:05:17,721 --> 00:05:19,988
Overprotective is putting it mildly.

108
00:05:20,057 --> 00:05:22,291
It's not up to her.
Mariel's underage.

109
00:05:22,359 --> 00:05:23,792
We need to bring Cody to the station,

110
00:05:23,861 --> 00:05:26,995
get a statement.
We'll talk to the ADA.

111
00:05:29,433 --> 00:05:31,834
Cody helped me out of my chair.

112
00:05:31,902 --> 00:05:34,002
I can walk, but it's hard for me.

113
00:05:34,071 --> 00:05:36,839
She has muscle weakness, atrophy.

114
00:05:36,907 --> 00:05:38,841
Oh, I see.

115
00:05:38,909 --> 00:05:40,943
Mariel, then what happened?

116
00:05:41,011 --> 00:05:44,346
I took my sweater off.

117
00:05:44,415 --> 00:05:45,814
We took our pants off.

118
00:05:45,883 --> 00:05:48,517
Mariel, you said you were raped.

119
00:05:48,586 --> 00:05:51,854
Did Cody force you to do something
that you didn't want to?

120
00:05:51,922 --> 00:05:55,490
No, we're in love.
We're getting married.

121
00:05:55,559 --> 00:05:56,992
What?

122
00:05:57,061 --> 00:05:59,661
Sorry, do you know
what rape means, Mariel?

123
00:05:59,730 --> 00:06:03,866
Yes, when a boy puts his penis
on your vagina.

124
00:06:05,469 --> 00:06:07,703
I heard one of the aides
talking about it.

125
00:06:07,771 --> 00:06:10,706
- And that's what Cody did?
- Yes.

126
00:06:10,774 --> 00:06:14,877
Okay, and did you say no,
or that you didn't want it?

127
00:06:14,945 --> 00:06:16,845
No.

128
00:06:16,914 --> 00:06:18,814
I liked it.

129
00:06:18,883 --> 00:06:22,251
- Like we were real grown-ups.
- Mariel, honey.

130
00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:24,887
Um, give us a minute, okay?

131
00:06:24,955 --> 00:06:26,822
Can I just...

132
00:06:28,726 --> 00:06:30,926
I...I don't know
what's going on,

133
00:06:30,995 --> 00:06:32,527
but I should get my daughter home.

134
00:06:32,596 --> 00:06:34,897
She's... she's not well,
she has anxiety issues.

135
00:06:34,965 --> 00:06:37,065
Well, I understand, but we need

136
00:06:37,134 --> 00:06:38,767
- to get Mariel to a hospital.
- A hospital?

137
00:06:38,836 --> 00:06:40,002
Yeah, for a rape kit.

138
00:06:40,070 --> 00:06:41,937
She needs to be tested for STDs,

139
00:06:42,006 --> 00:06:44,373
- just to make sure she's okay.
- We'll go to her pediatrician.

140
00:06:44,441 --> 00:06:46,909
And you're more than welcome
to call her doctor, of course,

141
00:06:46,977 --> 00:06:49,878
but she really needs
to be seen by somebody

142
00:06:49,947 --> 00:06:52,681
with experience
in these kinds of cases, okay?

143
00:06:53,517 --> 00:06:55,751
Mariel.

144
00:06:55,819 --> 00:06:58,587
- So he's 19?
- And autistic.

145
00:06:58,656 --> 00:07:00,589
And she's 15 and says he raped her?

146
00:07:00,658 --> 00:07:02,791
Rollins doesn't think she
understood what the word meant.

147
00:07:02,860 --> 00:07:06,695
I get the sense this is a
Romeo and Juliet scenario here.

148
00:07:06,764 --> 00:07:08,597
- Should we call Liv?
- No, we don't call Liv.

149
00:07:08,666 --> 00:07:11,233
- She's still on leave.
- So what do we do?

150
00:07:11,302 --> 00:07:13,635
We take his statement,
then we wait on the rape kit.

151
00:07:13,704 --> 00:07:15,971
Take it to Barba, figure out
if we've got a crime.

152
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,573
- You cool with that plan?
- Yeah, I'm cool.

153
00:07:21,178 --> 00:07:22,945
_

154
00:07:23,013 --> 00:07:25,280
Well, how invasive is this procedure?

155
00:07:25,349 --> 00:07:26,648
The nurse will take some swabs,

156
00:07:26,717 --> 00:07:28,550
and some photographs.

157
00:07:28,619 --> 00:07:30,118
Dr. Levy,
thank God you're here.

158
00:07:30,187 --> 00:07:31,954
- Hi.
- Hey, Detective Rollins, SVU.

159
00:07:32,022 --> 00:07:34,423
Alexandra Levy, Mariel's pediatrician.

160
00:07:34,491 --> 00:07:36,491
Mariel's right here.

161
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,627
- You feeling okay, Mariel?
- I'm okay.

162
00:07:38,696 --> 00:07:41,096
- She's really nervous.
- We can sedate her.

163
00:07:41,165 --> 00:07:42,564
Which sedative?

164
00:07:42,633 --> 00:07:44,299
Likely ketamine, 10 milligrams.

165
00:07:44,368 --> 00:07:45,901
The IV has to be in her right arm.

166
00:07:45,970 --> 00:07:48,971
- She's got phlebitis in the...
- I remember, Dawn.

167
00:07:49,039 --> 00:07:52,941
Mariel, can I take your vitals?
Excuse me.

168
00:07:56,780 --> 00:08:00,415
You doing okay?

169
00:08:00,484 --> 00:08:02,818
It's just seeing her like this.

170
00:08:02,886 --> 00:08:04,653
She puts on a brave face for me,

171
00:08:04,722 --> 00:08:06,488
but it never gets any easier.

172
00:08:06,557 --> 00:08:08,090
What, may I ask, is her condition?

173
00:08:08,158 --> 00:08:10,158
She was diagnosed
with muscular dystrophy

174
00:08:10,227 --> 00:08:11,827
when she was four.

175
00:08:11,895 --> 00:08:16,031
That put her in the wheelchair,
and then epilepsy.

176
00:08:16,100 --> 00:08:17,632
Blood cancer, twice.

177
00:08:17,701 --> 00:08:19,768
Sounds like a rough road.

178
00:08:19,837 --> 00:08:21,336
Well, like they say,

179
00:08:21,405 --> 00:08:24,973
the lord never gives you
more than you can handle.

180
00:08:26,944 --> 00:08:30,512
Can I just see what the numbers are?

181
00:08:30,581 --> 00:08:32,881
- Oh!
- War!

182
00:08:32,950 --> 00:08:33,957
Ready?

183
00:08:33,959 --> 00:08:37,819
- I-de-clare-war!
- I-de-clare-war!

184
00:08:37,888 --> 00:08:40,455
You got me again!
I surrender, I surrender.

185
00:08:42,359 --> 00:08:45,560
- I thought you said no work.
- It's Amanda, I'll be quick.

186
00:08:45,629 --> 00:08:47,396
Hey.

187
00:08:47,464 --> 00:08:49,364
You're where?

188
00:08:49,433 --> 00:08:53,335
Uh, no, I'm coming right now.

189
00:08:55,706 --> 00:08:57,372
- Hi.
- Hey, sorry.

190
00:08:57,441 --> 00:08:59,641
- I hope this isn't a bad time.
- No, come on in.

191
00:08:59,710 --> 00:09:03,345
I'm just getting beat at cards again.

192
00:09:03,414 --> 00:09:05,313
- Noah, how you doing, bud?
- I'm great.

193
00:09:05,382 --> 00:09:08,016
So, Noah, how about you
change into your PJs, right?

194
00:09:08,085 --> 00:09:09,551
And I'm going to talk
to Amanda for a second.

195
00:09:09,620 --> 00:09:12,821
- I'll be super quick.
- He seems good.

196
00:09:12,890 --> 00:09:16,224
Yeah, he is.
We're getting there.

197
00:09:16,293 --> 00:09:18,593
He still wants
to sleep in the bed with me.

198
00:09:18,662 --> 00:09:20,695
And I'm letting him,
so I don't know if that's

199
00:09:20,764 --> 00:09:23,265
for him or for me.

200
00:09:23,333 --> 00:09:24,733
I hear you.

201
00:09:24,802 --> 00:09:26,568
So, you guys managing without me?

202
00:09:26,637 --> 00:09:29,204
Yeah, and Fin loves being in charge,
I can tell you that.

203
00:09:29,273 --> 00:09:32,107
Okay.

204
00:09:32,176 --> 00:09:34,609
- You got a file?
- Yeah.

205
00:09:34,678 --> 00:09:36,078
I just wanted you to go over this.

206
00:09:36,146 --> 00:09:38,914
Just make sure we're
not missing something.

207
00:09:38,982 --> 00:09:41,016
Okay.

208
00:09:42,319 --> 00:09:45,854
15, 19, both have disabilities.
She's in a wheelchair?

209
00:09:45,923 --> 00:09:47,456
Yeah, but she's not paralyzed.

210
00:09:47,524 --> 00:09:50,058
And the rape kit came back
negative for trauma, semen.

211
00:09:50,127 --> 00:09:52,527
So whatever they did,
it seems like it was consensual.

212
00:09:52,596 --> 00:09:55,263
- What does Barba say?
- He doesn't want to pursue.

213
00:09:55,332 --> 00:09:56,998
Okay.

214
00:09:58,168 --> 00:10:00,936
- But there's something else.
- Yeah.

215
00:10:01,004 --> 00:10:04,106
Yeah it's...
it's the girl's mother.

216
00:10:04,174 --> 00:10:06,241
You know Jesse
had a fever last week, right?

217
00:10:06,310 --> 00:10:09,377
And of course I was concerned,
but I didn't rush to the ER.

218
00:10:09,446 --> 00:10:11,480
And you know, I've seen
you when Noah's sick.

219
00:10:11,548 --> 00:10:13,115
It's just... I don't know.

220
00:10:13,183 --> 00:10:14,950
Granted, this mother's
been through a lot.

221
00:10:15,018 --> 00:10:17,652
But you think there's an issue.

222
00:10:17,721 --> 00:10:20,055
I'm not sure.

223
00:10:20,124 --> 00:10:24,259
But I had Warner
check Mariel's tox screen.

224
00:10:24,328 --> 00:10:27,496
Well, if she's incapacitated,
then that's a different story.

225
00:10:27,564 --> 00:10:28,830
Yeah.

226
00:10:28,899 --> 00:10:31,266
Anyway, I'll find out.

227
00:10:31,335 --> 00:10:32,634
Well, keep me posted.

228
00:10:32,703 --> 00:10:34,136
I mean, I'm supposed
to be off-duty,

229
00:10:34,204 --> 00:10:36,171
but I'm just here playing cards.

230
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,741
- I'm ready for bed!
- Wow, that was fast.

231
00:10:39,810 --> 00:10:40,976
All right, see you guys.

232
00:10:41,044 --> 00:10:43,078
- Say bye.
- Bye-bye!

233
00:10:43,147 --> 00:10:45,280
All right, keep me posted.

234
00:10:46,665 --> 00:10:48,817
_

235
00:10:48,886 --> 00:10:50,285
You made the right call, Amanda.

236
00:10:50,354 --> 00:10:52,454
- So Mariel was drugged?
- You could say that.

237
00:10:52,523 --> 00:10:54,322
She had half a pharmacy in her system.

238
00:10:54,391 --> 00:10:55,790
But she is sick.

239
00:10:55,859 --> 00:10:57,259
And a lot of these drugs make sense.

240
00:10:57,327 --> 00:10:58,827
Like the Valproate, for seizures.

241
00:10:58,896 --> 00:11:00,996
- But?
- She also had a cocktail

242
00:11:01,064 --> 00:11:04,032
of others.
Paxil, St. John's Wort, Ginko.

243
00:11:04,101 --> 00:11:06,868
And some of these have
severe adverse interactions

244
00:11:06,937 --> 00:11:08,837
with the
anti-seizure medication.

245
00:11:08,906 --> 00:11:10,305
Could that just be an oversight?

246
00:11:10,374 --> 00:11:12,641
Not by any reputable professional.

247
00:11:12,709 --> 00:11:14,209
If this was purposeful,

248
00:11:14,278 --> 00:11:16,378
I'd say you're looking
at medical malpractice.

249
00:11:16,446 --> 00:11:18,713
And possibly a case of child abuse.

250
00:11:26,734 --> 00:11:29,102
- We're going to Disney?
- Yeah!

251
00:11:29,104 --> 00:11:30,904
Oh, my God, this is
the best birthday ever!

252
00:11:30,906 --> 00:11:33,106
Ever, ever!
Whoohoo!

253
00:11:33,108 --> 00:11:36,910
Yay, we're going to...

254
00:11:37,712 --> 00:11:39,979
People have been so generous.

255
00:11:39,981 --> 00:11:42,515
Mariel loved Disney World.

256
00:11:42,583 --> 00:11:44,049
She's lucky she's got so much support.

257
00:11:44,118 --> 00:11:45,985
People just respond to her, you know?

258
00:11:46,053 --> 00:11:47,686
How brave she is.

259
00:11:47,755 --> 00:11:50,956
Now, you said you
were here about Cody?

260
00:11:51,025 --> 00:11:52,691
Uh, yeah.
We wanted to let you know

261
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,828
that the ADA
is not going to press charges.

262
00:11:55,897 --> 00:11:57,496
Oh...

263
00:11:57,565 --> 00:11:59,465
Well, that's probably for the best.

264
00:11:59,534 --> 00:12:02,167
Is it time for school?

265
00:12:02,236 --> 00:12:04,870
Why are they here?
Detective Rollins?

266
00:12:04,939 --> 00:12:06,505
Yeah, we're just
talking to your mother.

267
00:12:06,574 --> 00:12:08,474
- Are you feeling better, Mariel?
- She is,

268
00:12:08,543 --> 00:12:10,776
but we're going to take off
another day from school.

269
00:12:10,845 --> 00:12:13,712
Now you go rest, okay, honey?

270
00:12:16,217 --> 00:12:18,183
She's having a reaction
to the ketamine,

271
00:12:18,252 --> 00:12:19,552
I should really get back to her.

272
00:12:19,620 --> 00:12:21,854
Well, actually, we have something else

273
00:12:21,923 --> 00:12:24,790
that we need to discuss.
Mariel's meds.

274
00:12:24,859 --> 00:12:26,425
I don't understand.

275
00:12:26,494 --> 00:12:28,093
You know, they did
a tox screen at the hospital,

276
00:12:28,162 --> 00:12:31,030
and our medical examiner
found some issues.

277
00:12:31,098 --> 00:12:32,831
She's on Valproate?

278
00:12:32,900 --> 00:12:34,366
Yes, I told you, she has epilepsy.

279
00:12:34,435 --> 00:12:36,936
- And she's also taking Ginko?
- Mm-hm.

280
00:12:37,004 --> 00:12:40,706
Did you know the combination
can induce seizures?

281
00:12:40,775 --> 00:12:42,741
- I didn't.
- Yeah, so who recommended

282
00:12:42,810 --> 00:12:44,710
the supplements?

283
00:12:46,314 --> 00:12:49,748
Well, you know, I'm always
looking for a new regimen.

284
00:12:49,817 --> 00:12:51,951
A new protocol.
I do research online

285
00:12:52,019 --> 00:12:54,386
for alternative medicines
and therapies.

286
00:12:54,455 --> 00:12:58,190
It's a full-time job.
I'm a single mother.

287
00:12:58,259 --> 00:12:59,825
I must have missed something.

288
00:12:59,894 --> 00:13:02,528
So Mariel's father
is not in the picture?

289
00:13:02,597 --> 00:13:04,263
He left when she was six.

290
00:13:04,332 --> 00:13:06,565
He couldn't handle her illnesses.

291
00:13:06,634 --> 00:13:08,567
I'm sure it can be overwhelming.

292
00:13:08,636 --> 00:13:12,171
Listen, we can get you
some support or counseling.

293
00:13:12,239 --> 00:13:15,341
Thank you, but I'm fine.
I'll call Dr. Levy,

294
00:13:15,409 --> 00:13:18,277
I'll have her make an
adjustment to the medication.

295
00:13:20,089 --> 00:13:22,314
_

296
00:13:22,383 --> 00:13:23,816
I took Mariel off Paxil

297
00:13:23,884 --> 00:13:25,851
and recommended against
Ginko Biloba a year ago.

298
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,020
Yeah, but you can see
she's still taking it.

299
00:13:28,089 --> 00:13:29,788
I doubt her other specialists
would have given her refills

300
00:13:29,857 --> 00:13:30,923
knowing that she's had seizures.

301
00:13:30,992 --> 00:13:32,591
It must be a mix-up.

302
00:13:32,660 --> 00:13:35,227
Well, have you seen
this kind of mix-up before?

303
00:13:35,296 --> 00:13:37,296
- No, I haven't.
- So...

304
00:13:37,365 --> 00:13:39,531
Can I ask, is this related
to the sexual encounter?

305
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,667
It might be, how long has
Mariel been your patient?

306
00:13:41,736 --> 00:13:45,337
About two years, she was 13.
They were new to the city.

307
00:13:45,406 --> 00:13:46,872
A parent comes in,

308
00:13:46,941 --> 00:13:48,741
tells you about their
child's medical history,

309
00:13:48,809 --> 00:13:50,142
you believe them.

310
00:13:50,211 --> 00:13:52,745
Well, these, these other specialists.

311
00:13:52,813 --> 00:13:55,047
Can you tell us what they
were treating her for?

312
00:13:57,551 --> 00:13:58,984
I'm sorry, you're going to have to ask

313
00:13:59,053 --> 00:14:01,286
Mariel's mother for that information.

314
00:14:01,355 --> 00:14:03,622
Thank you for bringing
this to my attention.

315
00:14:03,691 --> 00:14:06,125
I need to make some calls.

316
00:14:09,597 --> 00:14:12,631
So what now,
we ask Barba for a warrant?

317
00:14:12,700 --> 00:14:14,366
Or, we get a parent's okay

318
00:14:14,435 --> 00:14:15,934
to look at Mariel's medical history.

319
00:14:16,003 --> 00:14:17,269
Dawn's not going to agree to that.

320
00:14:17,338 --> 00:14:18,937
But Mariel's father might.

321
00:14:19,006 --> 00:14:20,973
Okay, should we
check in with Fin first?

322
00:14:21,042 --> 00:14:23,542
Better to ask for
forgiveness than permission.

323
00:14:23,611 --> 00:14:26,545
I'm not a bad father,
I send money every month.

324
00:14:26,614 --> 00:14:29,281
But her mom tells me
Mariel spending time with me

325
00:14:29,383 --> 00:14:30,949
is too stressful for her.

326
00:14:31,018 --> 00:14:34,219
- Do you believe that?
- Well, Dawn knows what's best.

327
00:14:34,288 --> 00:14:35,854
What she's gone through with Mariel,

328
00:14:35,923 --> 00:14:38,123
in an out of hospitals
ever since she was a baby.

329
00:14:38,192 --> 00:14:40,125
So she's been ill her whole life?

330
00:14:40,194 --> 00:14:43,295
MD at four, leukemia at six.

331
00:14:45,099 --> 00:14:46,899
You don't know what a gut punch it is

332
00:14:46,967 --> 00:14:48,934
to see your little girl
losing her hair.

333
00:14:49,003 --> 00:14:50,469
And throwing up.

334
00:14:50,538 --> 00:14:53,839
You know, maybe there was a part of me
that couldn't handle it.

335
00:14:53,908 --> 00:14:55,507
But when she was younger,
you were there, right?

336
00:14:55,576 --> 00:14:58,444
- The hospitals, the doctors?
- Yeah, I tried.

337
00:14:58,512 --> 00:15:02,047
We moved half a dozen times
chasing the best treatments.

338
00:15:02,116 --> 00:15:05,284
Did you happen to save
any of those old records?

339
00:15:06,787 --> 00:15:08,587
So what are we looking at?

340
00:15:08,656 --> 00:15:11,223
Munchausen by Proxy.
A mental illness

341
00:15:11,292 --> 00:15:13,025
where a parent makes up fake symptoms,

342
00:15:13,094 --> 00:15:15,160
- or causes symptoms.
- Medical child abuse.

343
00:15:15,229 --> 00:15:16,862
Isn't that usually with younger kids?

344
00:15:16,931 --> 00:15:18,597
It usually is, yes, but...

345
00:15:18,666 --> 00:15:20,399
Mariel's 15, that's a long time

346
00:15:20,468 --> 00:15:22,034
to go along with being sick.

347
00:15:22,103 --> 00:15:24,403
I'm positive that this
is what we're looking at, Fin.

348
00:15:24,472 --> 00:15:26,739
Multiple diagnoses
from a dozen doctors

349
00:15:26,807 --> 00:15:28,841
that we know of,
from six different states.

350
00:15:28,909 --> 00:15:31,443
50 different medications,
at least ten surgeries.

351
00:15:31,512 --> 00:15:32,745
Well, aren't these doctors to blame?

352
00:15:32,813 --> 00:15:34,580
No, because the mother is...

353
00:15:34,648 --> 00:15:36,882
She's a very smart liar.
Master manipulator.

354
00:15:36,951 --> 00:15:38,317
From one doctor to the next,

355
00:15:38,385 --> 00:15:40,119
she says that they've
lost the records.

356
00:15:40,187 --> 00:15:41,687
So she fills in the blanks herself.

357
00:15:41,756 --> 00:15:43,288
And these doctors have
no reason not to believe

358
00:15:43,357 --> 00:15:44,556
what she's been telling them.

359
00:15:44,625 --> 00:15:46,258
So Dawn has been medicating Mariel.

360
00:15:46,327 --> 00:15:47,793
She's been making
her own daughter sick.

361
00:15:47,862 --> 00:15:50,195
And she knows how to do it.
She's been getting drugs

362
00:15:50,264 --> 00:15:51,997
from online or off the streets.

363
00:15:52,066 --> 00:15:53,732
All right.

364
00:15:53,801 --> 00:15:58,137
Now it's time to call
Liv, Barba, and Child Services.

365
00:16:02,009 --> 00:16:04,877
When can me and my mom go home?

366
00:16:04,945 --> 00:16:08,447
It's movie night.
Is she okay?

367
00:16:08,516 --> 00:16:11,784
We're still figuring some things out.

368
00:16:11,852 --> 00:16:14,453
- Does she know why she's here?
- She's a smart lady.

369
00:16:14,522 --> 00:16:17,456
- She didn't ask for a lawyer.
- Maybe not that smart.

370
00:16:17,525 --> 00:16:18,891
Aren't you supposed to be on leave?

371
00:16:18,959 --> 00:16:20,192
I am, but I need to be here.

372
00:16:20,261 --> 00:16:21,593
I get it.

373
00:16:21,662 --> 00:16:23,095
We got enough for a case, Barba?

374
00:16:23,164 --> 00:16:24,897
Based on the files
you gave me, probably.

375
00:16:24,965 --> 00:16:28,200
I need a full medical
and psych work-up on Mariel.

376
00:16:28,269 --> 00:16:31,292
And I need a court order for a
full psych eval on Dawn.

377
00:16:31,294 --> 00:16:32,507
How about a confession?

378
00:16:32,529 --> 00:16:33,995
She's been getting away
with this for 15 years.

379
00:16:34,064 --> 00:16:35,530
She's good at covering her tracks.

380
00:16:35,599 --> 00:16:38,433
So she knows what
she's doing is wrong?

381
00:16:41,772 --> 00:16:45,374
Mrs. McLaughlin,
I'm Lieutenant Benson.

382
00:16:45,442 --> 00:16:49,978
Oh, someone in charge, good.
I need to be with Mariel.

383
00:16:50,047 --> 00:16:51,446
She must be so scared.

384
00:16:51,515 --> 00:16:53,682
Dawn, don't worry.
Mariel is fine.

385
00:16:53,751 --> 00:16:55,717
So I just have a few questions

386
00:16:55,786 --> 00:16:57,920
about the number of different doctors

387
00:16:57,988 --> 00:16:59,488
that Mariel's been to.

388
00:16:59,556 --> 00:17:01,523
She was born with
a compromised immune system.

389
00:17:01,592 --> 00:17:03,926
She has multiple issues.
Like a seizure disorder?

390
00:17:04,028 --> 00:17:05,193
Now when did that start?

391
00:17:05,262 --> 00:17:07,262
- May of 2010.
- So it says here

392
00:17:07,331 --> 00:17:10,098
that a doctor Sanders
from North Carolina

393
00:17:10,167 --> 00:17:15,003
conducted a dozen tests from
May to October of that year.

394
00:17:15,072 --> 00:17:16,872
But they were all negative.

395
00:17:16,941 --> 00:17:19,408
When you have a sick child,
you don't give up

396
00:17:19,476 --> 00:17:21,944
just because one doctor
has his head on backwards.

397
00:17:22,012 --> 00:17:25,847
She was diagnosed in December,
after we moved to New York.

398
00:17:25,950 --> 00:17:27,382
Do you have documentation of that?

399
00:17:27,451 --> 00:17:28,984
I'm still not clear why you need it.

400
00:17:29,053 --> 00:17:30,619
Okay, Mrs. McLaughlin,

401
00:17:30,688 --> 00:17:32,955
I'm just going to be honest with you.

402
00:17:33,023 --> 00:17:36,058
Your daughter's
medical records, her files...

403
00:17:36,126 --> 00:17:38,827
They show that you weren't
looking for doctors

404
00:17:38,896 --> 00:17:40,629
who could cure Mariel.

405
00:17:40,698 --> 00:17:43,165
You were looking for doctors
who would agree with you,

406
00:17:43,234 --> 00:17:46,235
who would say that she was sick.

407
00:17:46,303 --> 00:17:48,737
No, I'm a good mother.

408
00:17:48,806 --> 00:17:51,373
I was raised in an ugly,
abusive household.

409
00:17:51,442 --> 00:17:54,109
I am blessed to have a daughter.

410
00:17:54,178 --> 00:17:55,911
To show her what love should be.

411
00:17:55,980 --> 00:17:57,613
That's not love.

412
00:17:57,682 --> 00:18:00,082
That's what you wanted,
not what he wanted.

413
00:18:00,151 --> 00:18:02,051
- Okay, okay.
- She wanted.

414
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,619
Dawn.

415
00:18:05,022 --> 00:18:06,622
We know you love your daughter.

416
00:18:06,691 --> 00:18:08,791
And you're doing
the best that you can.

417
00:18:08,859 --> 00:18:11,593
And doctors, they don't
always know the answer.

418
00:18:11,662 --> 00:18:14,096
I just want my child to be well.

419
00:18:14,165 --> 00:18:17,399
Healthy, happy.
That's all I've ever wanted.

420
00:18:17,468 --> 00:18:21,036
- Can you understand that?
- Yes, but you are hurting her.

421
00:18:21,105 --> 00:18:23,539
No you're wrong.
I'm taking Mariel home.

422
00:18:23,607 --> 00:18:25,074
No.
Fin!

423
00:18:25,142 --> 00:18:27,076
- Mariel! Mariel!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

424
00:18:27,144 --> 00:18:28,644
- No, no, no, Mariel, honey!
- Hold on, hold on, no, no, no.

425
00:18:28,713 --> 00:18:30,312
- We're going home right now.
- Mommy?

426
00:18:30,381 --> 00:18:32,114
- We're going right now!
- Take it easy, take it easy.

427
00:18:32,183 --> 00:18:34,349
Oh, no, no, no.

428
00:18:34,418 --> 00:18:35,751
Let me go, she needs me.

429
00:18:35,820 --> 00:18:37,119
- Hey. Hey, hey, hey.
- Mariel!

430
00:18:37,188 --> 00:18:38,954
- Is my mom okay?
- Yeah, she's fine, honey.

431
00:18:39,023 --> 00:18:41,023
I got you, why don't
we sit back down, baby?

432
00:18:41,092 --> 00:18:42,124
Okay?

433
00:18:43,194 --> 00:18:44,693
- Let me go. Mariel!
- Nice and easy, nice and easy.

434
00:18:44,762 --> 00:18:46,328
- Let's lower her down...
- She's seizing!

435
00:18:46,397 --> 00:18:47,730
- Mariel!
- It's okay.

436
00:18:47,798 --> 00:18:48,897
SVU portable, we need a bus.

437
00:18:48,966 --> 00:18:50,566
We have a minor having a seizure.

438
00:18:50,634 --> 00:18:52,901
Airway's clear.
Mariel, hang in there, honey.

439
00:18:55,544 --> 00:18:56,744
Mommy!

440
00:18:57,506 --> 00:18:59,367
- Mommy?
- Noah!

441
00:18:59,402 --> 00:19:01,694
- Noah, come here, baby.
- Mommy, you made it!

442
00:19:01,696 --> 00:19:02,929
Noah, hey, baby...

443
00:19:02,931 --> 00:19:04,597
Go outside, Noah.
Go on the porch.

444
00:19:04,599 --> 00:19:06,032
No!

445
00:19:06,101 --> 00:19:08,201
Olivia?

446
00:19:08,269 --> 00:19:10,336
Liv?

447
00:19:10,405 --> 00:19:12,839
- Oh, Melinda.
- You all right?

448
00:19:12,907 --> 00:19:16,342
Yeah, yeah. How's Mariel?

449
00:19:16,411 --> 00:19:17,744
Recovering.

450
00:19:17,812 --> 00:19:20,079
She had excessive amounts
of Paxil, Ginko,

451
00:19:20,148 --> 00:19:21,614
and other supplements in her system,

452
00:19:21,683 --> 00:19:22,815
which caused the seizure.

453
00:19:24,152 --> 00:19:25,885
And how's her health otherwise?

454
00:19:25,954 --> 00:19:27,453
She'll need more evaluation,

455
00:19:27,522 --> 00:19:30,256
but initial reports are encouraging.

456
00:19:30,325 --> 00:19:33,126
It appears she doesn't have MD.

457
00:19:33,194 --> 00:19:35,294
Or a seizure disorder.

458
00:19:35,363 --> 00:19:37,764
Dawn McLaughlin's
being held at Bellevue,

459
00:19:37,832 --> 00:19:39,899
pending her psych eval.

460
00:19:39,968 --> 00:19:42,001
- Mariel's alone?
- Rollins is with her.

461
00:19:42,070 --> 00:19:43,970
Her father's driving up
from Pennsylvania.

462
00:19:44,038 --> 00:19:46,339
- Okay.
- Let's get you home.

463
00:19:46,407 --> 00:19:48,407
I got a patrol car outside.

464
00:19:49,744 --> 00:19:52,211
- I'll see you.
- Mm-hm.

465
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,314
Lucy.

466
00:19:55,383 --> 00:19:57,884
No, Noah's asleep?
Don't wake him.

467
00:20:00,121 --> 00:20:02,455
_

468
00:20:02,524 --> 00:20:06,125
If I was really trying
to harm her, I could have.

469
00:20:06,194 --> 00:20:09,195
Mess with her feeding tube,
made her overdose.

470
00:20:09,264 --> 00:20:12,031
Did you ever think about doing that?

471
00:20:14,102 --> 00:20:16,402
I was just trying to raise her right.

472
00:20:16,471 --> 00:20:19,172
Because you weren't raised right?

473
00:20:21,276 --> 00:20:24,577
Did someone hurt you
when you were young, Dawn?

474
00:20:27,182 --> 00:20:28,981
My stepfather.

475
00:20:31,219 --> 00:20:33,920
- But this is about Mariel.
- And you too.

476
00:20:37,792 --> 00:20:39,692
How did he hurt you?

477
00:20:42,463 --> 00:20:44,363
I was abused, so I'm an abuser?

478
00:20:44,432 --> 00:20:47,967
If her lawyer goes with psych
defense, she could get off.

479
00:20:48,036 --> 00:20:50,169
Just as long as she never gets custody

480
00:20:50,271 --> 00:20:52,004
of her daughter again.

481
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,442
Sometimes I would act like
he hurt me worse than he did.

482
00:20:56,511 --> 00:20:59,145
Then mom would let me
stay home from school.

483
00:20:59,214 --> 00:21:00,913
Just us.

484
00:21:00,982 --> 00:21:03,916
You taught yourself
how to manipulate authority.

485
00:21:03,985 --> 00:21:06,519
Learned self-preservation.

486
00:21:10,925 --> 00:21:13,159
Dawn.

487
00:21:13,228 --> 00:21:14,594
Why do you think you gave Mariel

488
00:21:14,662 --> 00:21:17,396
the meds that caused a seizure?

489
00:21:19,767 --> 00:21:21,167
I just...

490
00:21:21,236 --> 00:21:24,770
I wanted someone to see
that she was sick.

491
00:21:24,839 --> 00:21:26,939
To treat her.

492
00:21:32,914 --> 00:21:35,248
She fits all the diagnostic criteria

493
00:21:35,316 --> 00:21:39,518
for Factitious Disorder,
or Munchausen by Proxy.

494
00:21:39,587 --> 00:21:42,355
There's a cognitive distortion
in her thinking.

495
00:21:42,423 --> 00:21:44,056
She knows what she's doing is wrong,

496
00:21:44,125 --> 00:21:45,591
but she doesn't know
why she's doing it.

497
00:21:45,660 --> 00:21:47,059
And she certainly can't stop herself.

498
00:21:47,128 --> 00:21:48,661
Is she competent to stand trial?

499
00:21:48,730 --> 00:21:50,196
In my opinion, yes.

500
00:21:50,265 --> 00:21:53,032
But she's going to need
a lot of treatment.

501
00:21:53,101 --> 00:21:55,134
So is Mariel.

502
00:21:55,203 --> 00:21:57,770
I don't understand, I'm not sick?

503
00:21:57,839 --> 00:22:00,039
No, you're going to be fine, Mariel.

504
00:22:00,108 --> 00:22:02,041
You're walking,
you're getting stronger.

505
00:22:02,110 --> 00:22:04,343
It's going to take a while,
but you are healthy.

506
00:22:04,412 --> 00:22:07,113
But I'm always so tired,

507
00:22:07,181 --> 00:22:09,248
sick to my stomach, weak.

508
00:22:09,317 --> 00:22:11,284
This can't be.

509
00:22:11,352 --> 00:22:14,654
I know it's hard, sweetheart.

510
00:22:14,722 --> 00:22:17,723
But your mom was making you sick.

511
00:22:19,027 --> 00:22:22,862
She was giving you medication
that made you feel bad.

512
00:22:24,365 --> 00:22:27,300
But, why?

513
00:22:27,368 --> 00:22:30,303
Mariel, because
there's something wrong

514
00:22:30,371 --> 00:22:32,672
with your mom's brain.

515
00:22:34,075 --> 00:22:37,076
And she didn't understand
how to take care of you.

516
00:22:37,145 --> 00:22:39,011
She didn't know what was good for you.

517
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:40,913
She loves me.

518
00:22:40,982 --> 00:22:43,349
She does love you, absolutely.

519
00:22:44,585 --> 00:22:46,352
This is a lot to process,

520
00:22:46,421 --> 00:22:49,622
and we are going to get you
a lot of help to feel better.

521
00:22:49,691 --> 00:22:53,259
And Mariel, you're going to be okay.

522
00:22:58,266 --> 00:23:00,566
- What's he in for?
- Stealing all the ice cream.

523
00:23:00,635 --> 00:23:02,668
I never trusted that elephant.

524
00:23:02,737 --> 00:23:05,905
So, what's happening
with Dawn McLaughlin?

525
00:23:05,974 --> 00:23:07,573
Yeah, she was arraigned today.

526
00:23:07,642 --> 00:23:10,176
Charged with reckless endangerment.
The judge ROR'd her,

527
00:23:10,244 --> 00:23:11,811
which was completely
against my recommendation.

528
00:23:11,879 --> 00:23:13,479
Rafael.

529
00:23:13,548 --> 00:23:16,148
Do you really think
this woman belongs behind bars?

530
00:23:16,217 --> 00:23:18,584
She's mentally ill, like...

531
00:23:20,321 --> 00:23:23,022
Like Sheila Porter?

532
00:23:23,091 --> 00:23:25,091
Noah keeps asking me to see her.

533
00:23:25,159 --> 00:23:27,360
I don't know what to tell him.

534
00:23:28,963 --> 00:23:31,230
Just avoid the subject all together.

535
00:23:31,299 --> 00:23:34,066
Liv, you're going to get through this.

536
00:23:34,135 --> 00:23:36,569
You've gotten through a lot worse.

537
00:23:42,076 --> 00:23:44,977
It's Fin. Hey.

538
00:23:45,046 --> 00:23:47,113
What?

539
00:23:48,282 --> 00:23:51,183
Dawn just showed up at Mercy Hospital.

540
00:23:53,855 --> 00:23:56,022
No! No!

541
00:23:56,090 --> 00:23:57,656
I'm taking this out of you.
They are hurting you.

542
00:23:57,725 --> 00:23:58,991
No!
You were the one hurting me!

543
00:23:59,060 --> 00:24:02,595
Dawn, back up, Dawn!

544
00:24:02,663 --> 00:24:03,963
Now we're going to have to arrest you.

545
00:24:04,032 --> 00:24:05,898
- You can't be here.
- Hey, hey.

546
00:24:05,967 --> 00:24:07,333
You're going to be all right.

547
00:24:07,402 --> 00:24:09,035
Stay the hell away from our daughter!

548
00:24:09,103 --> 00:24:12,138
- Mariel, I love you!
- You love me being sick.

549
00:24:12,206 --> 00:24:14,907
You took away my life,
you almost killed me!

550
00:24:14,976 --> 00:24:17,943
No, they're lying to you!

551
00:24:18,012 --> 00:24:20,813
I'm the only one who knows
how to take care of you.

552
00:24:20,882 --> 00:24:23,182
- Get her out of here.
- I am the only one!

553
00:24:24,585 --> 00:24:27,053
All I ever wanted was to be normal.

554
00:24:31,793 --> 00:24:34,160
Now I never will.

555
00:24:40,334 --> 00:24:44,336
Okay, Barba.
Yeah, thanks.

556
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,907
Dawn made bail, she's out again.

557
00:24:47,975 --> 00:24:49,608
What? How is that possible?

558
00:24:49,677 --> 00:24:52,178
One of her supporters raised
the cash through GoFundMe.

559
00:24:52,246 --> 00:24:53,746
I mean, she's not
allowed within 100 feet

560
00:24:53,815 --> 00:24:57,550
of the hospital or Mariel.
They GPS'd them both.

561
00:24:57,618 --> 00:24:59,485
Ugh...

562
00:24:59,554 --> 00:25:02,288
You know, what Dawn
did to her daughter,

563
00:25:02,356 --> 00:25:07,193
she took away her childhood.
It's unforgivable.

564
00:25:07,261 --> 00:25:09,495
But...

565
00:25:09,564 --> 00:25:11,764
She's sick.

566
00:25:11,833 --> 00:25:14,433
I just, I can't wrap my head around

567
00:25:14,502 --> 00:25:17,169
that we want her punished.

568
00:25:17,238 --> 00:25:19,839
Listen, Rollins, why don't
you go home and be with Jesse?

569
00:25:19,907 --> 00:25:21,674
I haven't forgotten that you
have a kid too, you know?

570
00:25:21,742 --> 00:25:24,210
After what Liv went through, I'm fine.

571
00:25:24,278 --> 00:25:27,680
Look, you're a single mom.
You're a full-time cop.

572
00:25:27,748 --> 00:25:29,215
Your life is not easy.

573
00:25:29,283 --> 00:25:32,585
And it's okay to say that
out loud every once in a while.

574
00:25:39,293 --> 00:25:41,260
Rollins.

575
00:25:41,929 --> 00:25:44,096
What?

576
00:25:44,165 --> 00:25:46,065
Mariel?

577
00:25:46,134 --> 00:25:48,367
Okay, you, uh...

578
00:25:48,436 --> 00:25:51,270
You just stay...
you stay where you are.

579
00:25:51,339 --> 00:25:53,839
Okay, we're on our way.

580
00:26:05,753 --> 00:26:08,287
What did you do?

581
00:26:10,858 --> 00:26:14,193
You're too late. She's dead.

582
00:26:17,331 --> 00:26:19,331
I killed her.

583
00:26:27,671 --> 00:26:30,624
I felt so good. Energetic.

584
00:26:30,659 --> 00:26:32,127
Colors were brighter.

585
00:26:32,162 --> 00:26:34,830
I felt alive,
like I was coming out of a fog.

586
00:26:34,832 --> 00:26:36,532
You were detoxing from a lot of meds.

587
00:26:36,534 --> 00:26:38,767
My whole life, I thought I was stupid.

588
00:26:38,769 --> 00:26:40,736
She did that to me, my own mother.

589
00:26:40,916 --> 00:26:42,482
Tell us what happened earlier.

590
00:26:42,551 --> 00:26:43,917
You mean after
she came to the hospital

591
00:26:43,986 --> 00:26:45,752
- and tried to kill me?
- Listen, Mariel.

592
00:26:45,821 --> 00:26:47,454
That shouldn't have happened,
and I'm very sorry.

593
00:26:47,523 --> 00:26:49,322
- But you were safe there.
- How do you know?

594
00:26:49,391 --> 00:26:51,525
What if she came back and there
was no one there to stop her?

595
00:26:51,593 --> 00:26:52,859
Is that why you went
to your mother's apartment?

596
00:26:52,928 --> 00:26:55,662
- To stop her?
- I just wanted her to leave me alone.

597
00:26:55,731 --> 00:26:57,397
I thought if I brought a weapon,

598
00:26:57,466 --> 00:27:00,367
like that hammer, she'd listen to me.

599
00:27:00,436 --> 00:27:02,669
What happened after you got there?

600
00:27:03,572 --> 00:27:05,972
She tried to hug me.
I wouldn't let her.

601
00:27:06,041 --> 00:27:08,909
She went to get my pills
so I'd calm down, she said.

602
00:27:08,977 --> 00:27:11,745
I said I didn't need pills,
to leave me alone.

603
00:27:11,814 --> 00:27:13,113
Then what happened?

604
00:27:13,182 --> 00:27:15,148
She said I was her daughter forever.

605
00:27:15,217 --> 00:27:18,452
That I'd always need her
to take care of me.

606
00:27:21,156 --> 00:27:23,890
So I hit her with the hammer.

607
00:27:28,297 --> 00:27:30,430
Was your mother trying to hurt you?

608
00:27:30,499 --> 00:27:31,832
- Was she threatening you?
- I just knew she was

609
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:33,200
never going to let me go.

610
00:27:33,268 --> 00:27:35,202
- I had to.
- But was she coming at you?

611
00:27:35,270 --> 00:27:37,204
- Mariel, were you...
- Don't you get it?

612
00:27:37,272 --> 00:27:41,108
I felt good.
I was in control for once.

613
00:27:41,176 --> 00:27:44,377
- Not her.
- Mariel, stop talking.

614
00:27:44,446 --> 00:27:46,613
My daughter was brutalized.

615
00:27:46,682 --> 00:27:48,515
And whatever happened,
Dawn deserved it.

616
00:27:48,584 --> 00:27:50,550
I mean, you see that, right?

617
00:27:50,619 --> 00:27:53,019
I mean, you can let her go now.

618
00:27:53,088 --> 00:27:55,088
I'm sorry, I can't do that.

619
00:27:55,157 --> 00:27:58,759
- Well, I'm calling a lawyer.
- No, I think you should.

620
00:28:05,610 --> 00:28:07,768
_

621
00:28:07,770 --> 00:28:10,470
Cause of death was blunt force trauma.

622
00:28:10,539 --> 00:28:13,540
The wound is consistent with
having been hit from behind.

623
00:28:13,609 --> 00:28:15,776
The first blow caused her
to fall to the floor.

624
00:28:15,844 --> 00:28:18,712
- Was she unconscious?
- Not necessarily.

625
00:28:18,781 --> 00:28:21,081
Knocking someone out
is harder than you think.

626
00:28:21,150 --> 00:28:23,083
And she was clutching
her head with both hands.

627
00:28:23,152 --> 00:28:26,086
- Was she incapacitated?
- I would say absolutely.

628
00:28:26,155 --> 00:28:28,321
How many blows
did the defendant strike

629
00:28:28,390 --> 00:28:30,657
after her mother was incapacitated,

630
00:28:30,726 --> 00:28:33,126
- clutching her head?
- Three.

631
00:28:33,195 --> 00:28:36,196
- How did you determine that?
- From the cast-off.

632
00:28:36,265 --> 00:28:38,498
Stripes of blood on the wall.
There were three.

633
00:28:38,567 --> 00:28:40,300
When the hammer was pulled back,

634
00:28:40,369 --> 00:28:43,737
blood spattered onto the wall,
forming a line pattern.

635
00:28:43,806 --> 00:28:45,205
Thank you.

636
00:28:48,844 --> 00:28:51,144
Dr. Warner,
you evaluated a tox screen

637
00:28:51,213 --> 00:28:53,947
done on Mariel as part of a
rape kit several weeks ago.

638
00:28:54,016 --> 00:28:55,882
- Yes.
- And you found multiple

639
00:28:55,951 --> 00:28:58,118
counteractive medications
and supplements.

640
00:28:58,187 --> 00:28:59,986
- That's right.
- Side effects include

641
00:29:00,055 --> 00:29:04,291
a higher risk of seizure,
confusion, lack of judgment.

642
00:29:04,359 --> 00:29:06,393
Yes, but at the time of the murder,

643
00:29:06,461 --> 00:29:08,195
she had detoxed for several days.

644
00:29:08,263 --> 00:29:11,665
Have you ever seen a case of
Munchausen by Proxy like this?

645
00:29:11,733 --> 00:29:14,534
With 15 years of prescription abuse?

646
00:29:14,603 --> 00:29:16,837
- No, I haven't.
- So you don't know the effects

647
00:29:16,905 --> 00:29:18,772
that this type
of long-term abuse could have,

648
00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:22,008
or how long it might take
to fully detox.

649
00:29:22,077 --> 00:29:23,677
No.

650
00:29:23,745 --> 00:29:25,111
Thank you.

651
00:29:25,180 --> 00:29:27,214
Redirect, Your Honor.

652
00:29:29,351 --> 00:29:32,819
Dr. Warner.
From the position of the body,

653
00:29:32,888 --> 00:29:35,121
the number of blows,
the blood spatter.

654
00:29:35,190 --> 00:29:37,991
In your opinion, is this
consistent with self-defense?

655
00:29:38,060 --> 00:29:40,227
Not likely, no.

656
00:29:40,295 --> 00:29:43,563
- People rest.
- Ms. Miglani?

657
00:29:43,665 --> 00:29:46,132
We call Dr. Elizabeth Olivet.

658
00:29:47,803 --> 00:29:50,570
Dr. Olivet,
you examined Mariel

659
00:29:50,639 --> 00:29:53,006
48 hours after she was informed

660
00:29:53,075 --> 00:29:55,909
her mother had been diagnosed
with Munchausen by Proxy.

661
00:29:55,978 --> 00:29:57,544
- Is that right?
- Yes.

662
00:29:57,613 --> 00:29:59,846
So after she found out that her mother

663
00:29:59,948 --> 00:30:02,382
had force-fed her medications,

664
00:30:02,451 --> 00:30:05,018
subjected her to multiple and painful

665
00:30:05,087 --> 00:30:07,687
unnecessary medical treatments
and surgeries,

666
00:30:07,756 --> 00:30:09,322
had in effect,
destroyed her childhood.

667
00:30:09,391 --> 00:30:11,124
- Yes.
- Did you find

668
00:30:11,193 --> 00:30:14,928
she was suffering from PTSD,
mood imbalances, dissociation?

669
00:30:14,997 --> 00:30:17,397
Yes, but that didn't
alter my conclusion

670
00:30:17,466 --> 00:30:19,599
that Mariel knew right from wrong.

671
00:30:19,668 --> 00:30:21,801
She was aware of the
consequences of her actions.

672
00:30:21,870 --> 00:30:24,271
Wasn't she terrified of her mother?

673
00:30:24,339 --> 00:30:26,506
Afraid she'd never escape her control?

674
00:30:26,575 --> 00:30:28,475
She expressed
some of those feelings, yes.

675
00:30:28,543 --> 00:30:33,313
But she also expressed extreme
anger and rage at her mother.

676
00:30:37,653 --> 00:30:40,387
Defense exhibit D.

677
00:30:40,455 --> 00:30:41,821
A copy of the DSM-5

678
00:30:41,890 --> 00:30:43,924
and articles on Munchausen by Proxy

679
00:30:43,992 --> 00:30:45,759
that Mariel had Googled that day.

680
00:30:45,827 --> 00:30:47,460
Can you read the highlighted section?

681
00:30:47,529 --> 00:30:50,297
"Despite the number of cases
of Munchausen by Proxy,

682
00:30:50,365 --> 00:30:52,365
"that have been evaluated and treated,

683
00:30:52,434 --> 00:30:55,902
there is little research
on effective treatment."

684
00:30:55,971 --> 00:30:58,772
And this, defense exhibit E.

685
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,707
The state of New York
sentencing guidelines

686
00:31:00,776 --> 00:31:02,409
for reckless endangerment.

687
00:31:02,477 --> 00:31:05,078
The crime that Mariel's
mother had been charged with.

688
00:31:05,147 --> 00:31:07,781
I've highlighted
the minimum sentence, which is?

689
00:31:07,849 --> 00:31:10,517
- One year.
- So after Mariel found out

690
00:31:10,585 --> 00:31:13,620
that there is
no treatment for Munchausen's.

691
00:31:13,689 --> 00:31:15,455
After finding out the sentence

692
00:31:15,524 --> 00:31:17,624
could be as minimal as one year.

693
00:31:17,726 --> 00:31:20,694
A few hours after her mother

694
00:31:20,762 --> 00:31:23,129
had violated an order of protection

695
00:31:23,198 --> 00:31:26,032
and tried to pull out her IV.

696
00:31:26,101 --> 00:31:28,301
Is it possible that Mariel

697
00:31:28,370 --> 00:31:30,370
lost faith in the system
to protect her,

698
00:31:30,439 --> 00:31:34,674
and felt her only option
was to defend herself?

699
00:31:34,743 --> 00:31:36,543
To save her own life?

700
00:31:40,215 --> 00:31:42,215
It's possible, yes.

701
00:31:44,820 --> 00:31:46,853
Nothing further.

702
00:31:48,924 --> 00:31:50,924
Mr. Barba.

703
00:31:50,993 --> 00:31:53,259
No questions, Your Honor.

704
00:31:53,328 --> 00:31:55,095
Mariel did use the hospital computer

705
00:31:55,163 --> 00:31:56,796
to research Munchausen by Proxy.

706
00:31:56,865 --> 00:31:57,931
- How long was she online?
- A few hours.

707
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,265
And the defense claims

708
00:31:59,334 --> 00:32:00,834
that's part of her
emotional disturbance?

709
00:32:00,936 --> 00:32:02,702
All it takes is one juror, what else?

710
00:32:02,771 --> 00:32:04,604
Well, that's it
for her Google searches,

711
00:32:04,673 --> 00:32:06,873
but she did watch "The Little Mermaid"

712
00:32:06,942 --> 00:32:09,809
- seven times in three days.
- What does that mean?

713
00:32:09,878 --> 00:32:12,078
Well, her classmate, Cody.
The 19-year-old with autism.

714
00:32:12,147 --> 00:32:13,613
- We didn't charge him.
- Well, Mariel thought

715
00:32:13,682 --> 00:32:15,181
that she was the Little Mermaid,

716
00:32:15,250 --> 00:32:17,517
and that Cody was her Prince Eric.

717
00:32:20,983 --> 00:32:22,889
_

718
00:32:22,958 --> 00:32:25,725
My whole life, I wanted to be normal.

719
00:32:25,827 --> 00:32:29,896
Like a real girl, but I was
always in the hospital.

720
00:32:29,965 --> 00:32:32,332
Sick, tired.

721
00:32:32,401 --> 00:32:34,734
Food didn't taste good.

722
00:32:34,803 --> 00:32:37,771
I had trouble using the bathroom.

723
00:32:37,839 --> 00:32:41,941
I couldn't walk.
I couldn't think clearly.

724
00:32:42,010 --> 00:32:45,545
- How do you feel now, Mariel?
- I'm getting healthier.

725
00:32:45,614 --> 00:32:49,249
Stronger every day.
I feel like I have hope.

726
00:32:49,317 --> 00:32:53,353
How did you react when you
found out that your mother

727
00:32:53,422 --> 00:32:54,921
had made you ill?

728
00:32:54,990 --> 00:32:57,290
At first, I couldn't believe it.

729
00:32:57,359 --> 00:33:00,493
But then when I started
to feel better,

730
00:33:00,562 --> 00:33:03,063
I realized it was true.

731
00:33:03,131 --> 00:33:06,433
I was sad, but I was with my dad,

732
00:33:06,501 --> 00:33:10,203
and mostly I didn't want
to think about her anymore.

733
00:33:12,107 --> 00:33:13,506
Tell me about the day

734
00:33:13,575 --> 00:33:15,008
you went to your mother's apartment.

735
00:33:15,077 --> 00:33:17,677
I was having a good day.
I was up.

736
00:33:17,746 --> 00:33:20,246
Walking on my own.

737
00:33:20,315 --> 00:33:22,816
Then my mom came in,

738
00:33:22,884 --> 00:33:24,651
she was yelling.

739
00:33:24,719 --> 00:33:27,687
She tried to tear my IV out.

740
00:33:27,756 --> 00:33:31,858
- The cops took her away.
- How did that make you feel?

741
00:33:31,927 --> 00:33:36,262
Scared, like I'd never
get away from her.

742
00:33:37,065 --> 00:33:40,800
So when my dad left the room...

743
00:33:40,869 --> 00:33:42,502
I snuck out.

744
00:33:42,571 --> 00:33:45,371
I got a hammer from his truck.

745
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,740
I went to my mom's apartment.

746
00:33:49,077 --> 00:33:51,377
What did you intend to do?

747
00:33:51,446 --> 00:33:53,513
To tell her to leave me alone.

748
00:33:53,582 --> 00:33:58,017
- What happened?
- I told her to stay away.

749
00:33:58,086 --> 00:34:00,887
She said that would never happen.

750
00:34:00,956 --> 00:34:02,722
That the jury would feel sorry for her

751
00:34:02,791 --> 00:34:05,258
and not put her in jail.

752
00:34:05,327 --> 00:34:09,028
That there was nothing I could
do to keep her away from me.

753
00:34:09,097 --> 00:34:10,930
Then what did you do?

754
00:34:10,999 --> 00:34:14,200
I must have swung the hammer.

755
00:34:14,269 --> 00:34:16,870
I just remember feeling so afraid.

756
00:34:16,938 --> 00:34:20,173
Like I'd never be free, ever.

757
00:34:20,242 --> 00:34:22,108
Thank you Mariel.

758
00:34:22,177 --> 00:34:23,776
Nothing further.

759
00:34:28,783 --> 00:34:30,650
Hi, Mariel.

760
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,685
Hi.

761
00:34:32,754 --> 00:34:34,554
I'm very sorry
for what you've been through

762
00:34:34,623 --> 00:34:36,756
in your life,
and the last thing I want to do

763
00:34:36,825 --> 00:34:39,659
is cause you more pain, but I have...

764
00:34:39,728 --> 00:34:41,861
I have a few questions, okay?

765
00:34:41,930 --> 00:34:43,763
I understand.

766
00:34:43,832 --> 00:34:45,398
After your mother
came to your hospital room,

767
00:34:45,467 --> 00:34:47,033
you decided to confront her.

768
00:34:47,102 --> 00:34:49,235
Yes.

769
00:34:49,304 --> 00:34:52,205
From the timeline that was

770
00:34:52,274 --> 00:34:55,008
a few hours later,
does that sound about right?

771
00:34:55,076 --> 00:34:56,476
- I guess.
- Do you remember

772
00:34:56,545 --> 00:35:00,046
what you did during those two hours?

773
00:35:01,416 --> 00:35:03,149
Do you remember watching
"The Little Mermaid"

774
00:35:03,218 --> 00:35:05,084
on the hospital computer?

775
00:35:05,153 --> 00:35:08,288
- Objection, relevance.
- I'll get there, Your Honor.

776
00:35:08,356 --> 00:35:10,190
I'll allow it.

777
00:35:10,258 --> 00:35:12,992
- Yes, I did.
- Is that your favorite movie?

778
00:35:13,061 --> 00:35:14,327
Yes.

779
00:35:14,396 --> 00:35:15,929
You thought
you were the Little Mermaid,

780
00:35:15,997 --> 00:35:17,897
and your friend Cody was Prince Eric?

781
00:35:17,966 --> 00:35:20,567
- Yes.
- Mariel.

782
00:35:21,469 --> 00:35:24,637
- Do you love Cody?
- Yes.

783
00:35:24,706 --> 00:35:27,173
What did your mother feel about that?

784
00:35:27,242 --> 00:35:31,344
She said I was too sick
to have a boyfriend.

785
00:35:31,413 --> 00:35:33,580
Too sick to get married.

786
00:35:33,648 --> 00:35:35,381
Your mother took you
out of that school, didn't she?

787
00:35:35,450 --> 00:35:37,750
She said because of Cody.

788
00:35:37,819 --> 00:35:41,521
It's why the police came
to the school, our house.

789
00:35:41,590 --> 00:35:44,224
- Were you angry about that?
- Objection.

790
00:35:44,292 --> 00:35:46,793
I'll allow it.

791
00:35:48,463 --> 00:35:51,331
She told me I'd never see Cody again.

792
00:35:51,399 --> 00:35:54,167
That I'd never
get out of the wheelchair.

793
00:35:54,236 --> 00:35:55,501
You were angry
that she stole your childhood,

794
00:35:55,570 --> 00:35:57,303
and she wouldn't let you grow up?

795
00:35:57,372 --> 00:36:00,073
Ariel, in the movie,
is mad at her father,

796
00:36:00,141 --> 00:36:02,442
but he let her get married.

797
00:36:02,510 --> 00:36:06,312
My mother was like Ursula, evil.

798
00:36:06,381 --> 00:36:08,047
You were angry she wouldn't
let you be a real girl?

799
00:36:08,116 --> 00:36:11,618
I am a real girl!
I'm not a mermaid.

800
00:36:11,686 --> 00:36:13,620
She was never going to let me.

801
00:36:13,688 --> 00:36:16,389
- Never going to let you what?
- Never going to let me.

802
00:36:16,458 --> 00:36:18,057
All right.

803
00:36:18,159 --> 00:36:20,960
I hate her!
I hate her, I hate her!

804
00:36:21,029 --> 00:36:22,295
Move to strike,
non-responsive.

805
00:36:22,364 --> 00:36:23,663
I wanted her dead.

806
00:36:23,732 --> 00:36:26,499
I'm glad I did it, I'm not sorry.

807
00:36:46,013 --> 00:36:48,681
You did your job, Rafael.

808
00:36:48,983 --> 00:36:50,749
I also might have sent

809
00:36:50,751 --> 00:36:53,085
a horrifically abused
teenager to prison.

810
00:36:53,087 --> 00:36:56,488
They could acquit.

811
00:36:56,490 --> 00:37:00,125
Or you could drop the charges.

812
00:37:00,194 --> 00:37:01,660
I drop the charges,

813
00:37:01,729 --> 00:37:03,462
that's tantamount to saying
there's no rule of law.

814
00:37:03,531 --> 00:37:05,631
That the judicial system
changes its mind.

815
00:37:05,700 --> 00:37:07,700
Makes exceptions on a whim.

816
00:37:07,768 --> 00:37:10,135
Or for sympathetic defendants.

817
00:37:13,474 --> 00:37:16,108
Yeah, that's the jury's
determination, not mine.

818
00:37:16,177 --> 00:37:18,811
Well, the law says she's guilty.

819
00:37:18,879 --> 00:37:22,848
But your heart says she's not.
So...

820
00:37:24,485 --> 00:37:26,819
So what are you going to do?

821
00:37:26,887 --> 00:37:28,954
I don't know.

822
00:37:34,295 --> 00:37:36,295
I don't know.

823
00:37:37,966 --> 00:37:40,032
_

824
00:37:41,902 --> 00:37:44,002
I know it's been a very long run...

825
00:37:44,071 --> 00:37:46,472
Hold the door, please.
Thank you.

826
00:37:46,574 --> 00:37:48,674
Yeah, I'm heading back in now.
Look, I don't want the girl

827
00:37:48,743 --> 00:37:50,743
to get life either,
but that's the law.

828
00:37:50,811 --> 00:37:52,010
I'm in the elevator, I got to go.

829
00:37:52,079 --> 00:37:54,513
Okay, thanks.

830
00:37:54,582 --> 00:37:56,882
Wait, the McLaughlin case?

831
00:37:59,186 --> 00:38:01,487
She could get life in prison?

832
00:38:07,561 --> 00:38:10,095
You're jurors on the case.

833
00:38:10,164 --> 00:38:12,531
I didn't realize you were here.

834
00:38:14,602 --> 00:38:16,268
I would not have expected
this from you, Mr. Barba.

835
00:38:16,337 --> 00:38:18,036
I apologize, Your Honor.

836
00:38:18,105 --> 00:38:19,204
We can discuss how
and why this happened

837
00:38:19,273 --> 00:38:21,540
after we adjourn.
For now,

838
00:38:21,609 --> 00:38:24,042
Ms. Glazer, I need
to confirm what happened.

839
00:38:24,111 --> 00:38:25,778
You three saw
Mr. Barba this morning.

840
00:38:25,846 --> 00:38:27,179
Yes, in the elevator.

841
00:38:27,248 --> 00:38:29,214
And what did you overhear him say?

842
00:38:29,283 --> 00:38:33,118
He said Mariel McLaughlin
could get life in prison.

843
00:38:33,187 --> 00:38:34,920
And you two overheard this as well?

844
00:38:34,989 --> 00:38:36,588
Yes, Your Honor.

845
00:38:38,058 --> 00:38:40,426
I have no choice.
I hereby declare a mistrial.

846
00:38:40,494 --> 00:38:42,127
I'd like to apologize to the court,

847
00:38:42,196 --> 00:38:44,730
to Ms. McLaughlin,
and to Ms. Miglani.

848
00:38:44,799 --> 00:38:46,565
And if defense council agrees,

849
00:38:46,634 --> 00:38:48,734
I'd ask for the case
to be moved to family court.

850
00:38:48,803 --> 00:38:51,370
I can only hope this wasn't
your intent in the first place.

851
00:38:51,439 --> 00:38:53,939
And if I find out it was, God help you.

852
00:38:54,008 --> 00:38:55,641
So waived, we're adjourned.

853
00:38:55,709 --> 00:38:59,578
Mr. Barba,
report to my chambers now.

854
00:39:02,149 --> 00:39:05,918
See you guys
at 3:00, thank you.

855
00:39:05,986 --> 00:39:07,252
There you are.

856
00:39:07,354 --> 00:39:08,987
What are you doing here?

857
00:39:09,056 --> 00:39:10,556
I was in the building,
checking in with Dodds.

858
00:39:10,624 --> 00:39:14,493
You know I got to come
back to work eventually.

859
00:39:14,562 --> 00:39:15,961
You okay?

860
00:39:16,030 --> 00:39:17,996
I heard Judge Barth
read you the riot act.

861
00:39:18,065 --> 00:39:20,098
I deserved it.

862
00:39:20,167 --> 00:39:21,733
Well, whether you deserved it or not,

863
00:39:21,802 --> 00:39:25,170
I have absolute faith

864
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:26,972
in your humanity.

865
00:39:28,809 --> 00:39:31,310
The family court judge gave
Mariel a three year sentence.

866
00:39:31,378 --> 00:39:33,946
Suspended to probation,
community service.

867
00:39:34,014 --> 00:39:37,850
With the stipulation of regular
mental health evaluations.

868
00:39:37,918 --> 00:39:40,652
So...

869
00:39:40,721 --> 00:39:43,455
Justice was served.

870
00:39:43,524 --> 00:39:45,491
Hope so.

871
00:39:47,394 --> 00:39:50,128
My dad rented an apartment for us.

872
00:39:50,197 --> 00:39:51,997
I have to keep seeing a psychiatrist,

873
00:39:52,066 --> 00:39:54,433
and do community service.

874
00:39:54,502 --> 00:39:56,969
Cody's going to volunteer with me.

875
00:39:57,037 --> 00:39:59,638
I think I'm going
to like helping people.

876
00:39:59,707 --> 00:40:00,973
- Sure you will.
- Mariel.

877
00:40:01,041 --> 00:40:03,342
I know you lost a lot of years,

878
00:40:03,410 --> 00:40:06,612
but you've got
your whole life ahead of you.

879
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,547
Yeah.

880
00:40:08,616 --> 00:40:11,650
Can I ask you something?

881
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,987
Do you think it's wrong
that I miss my mother?

882
00:40:19,727 --> 00:40:22,361
No, I don't.

883
00:40:23,697 --> 00:40:25,797
Mariel, let's go.

884
00:40:25,866 --> 00:40:28,800
Hey, you take care of yourself, okay?

885
00:40:28,869 --> 00:40:30,802
Thank you.

886
00:40:33,807 --> 00:40:36,842
So you want to grab a cup
of coffee before we head back?

887
00:40:36,911 --> 00:40:39,745
You know, actually,
I'm going to head home.

888
00:40:39,813 --> 00:40:44,116
- Can you cover for me with Fin?
- Yeah, you got it.

889
00:40:46,153 --> 00:40:48,186
There's ten seconds left of the clock.

890
00:40:48,255 --> 00:40:49,721
They're going to make a comeback.

891
00:40:49,790 --> 00:40:51,690
But there she goes!
She steals the ball,

892
00:40:51,759 --> 00:40:53,825
she heads across the court,
she shoots...

893
00:40:53,894 --> 00:40:57,029
She scores!

894
00:40:57,097 --> 00:40:59,531
Yeah, that's right!

895
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,633
Yes!

896
00:41:08,375 --> 00:41:10,576
Hi, Mom. It's me.

897
00:41:12,379 --> 00:41:15,113
Yes, I know it's been a while.

898
00:41:15,182 --> 00:41:17,749
Can you just be happy I called?

899
00:41:19,219 --> 00:41:21,620
Okay, wait, listen, um...

900
00:41:21,689 --> 00:41:24,890
Can you say hello to Jesse for me?

901
00:41:24,959 --> 00:41:26,391
Okay.

902
00:41:26,460 --> 00:41:28,961
- Can you say "hi, grandma"?
- Hi, grandma.

903
00:41:30,631 --> 00:41:32,230
You heard her?

904
00:41:38,301 --> 00:41:41,915
