00:38:55,811 she decided to write a book about it. 821 00:38:55,855 --> 00:38:58,379 And you couldn't let that happen. 822 00:38:58,423 --> 00:39:01,251 Never mind the whole world finding out 823 00:39:01,295 --> 00:39:03,819 what a sad, misguided 824 00:39:03,863 --> 00:39:06,648 little boy did to his mother. 825 00:39:06,692 --> 00:39:09,956 You couldn't let Martha find out-- 826
