When did mum first tell you?
:46:04
Your birthday.
:46:06
When you all were downstairs.
:46:10
After you did the handstand?
:46:13
Handstand?
:46:15
Yeah.
:46:16
In mum's bedroom.
:46:18
You did a handstand.
:46:21
You don't remember?
:46:24
That's right.
And you sang "Greensleeves".

:46:27
Yeah.
:46:32
What did I do?
:46:36
Don't know.
:46:38
I think Tom made us laugh.
:46:46
What did I do?
:46:48
I know I did something. What was it?
:46:51
I can't remember.

VOICE ON THE RADIO
:47:07
Julie, I think we should tell someone.
:47:10
Tell what?
:47:11
I said shouldn't we tell someone?
:47:14
- Like who?
- I don't know.

:47:17
Whoever you're meant
to tell when people die.

:47:20
- If we tell them...
- You know,

:47:23
so there can be a funeral.
:47:25
Like dad's.
:47:27
What was that, Jack?
:47:31
If we tell them,
:47:33
they will come
and put Tom into care,

:47:36
- into an orphanage or something.
- They can't do that.

:47:40
You too maybe even.
:47:45
Our house'll stand empty.
:47:48
People will break in.
There'll be nothing left.

:47:52
You're lying.
:47:54
Isn't he?
:47:56
Isn't he, Julie?
:47:59
- Julie?
- No aunts or uncles or things.
