what someone like you was doing with someone like him.

When I was aged out of care...

..they wanted to send me here.

100 Ks away from my brother.

I couldn't do that.

I had nowhere.

Cowboy gave me a place.

He was taking advantage of you.

I knew what I was doing.

I was taking advantage of him too.

Until he tried to kick you out.

He tried.

But I wasn't going anywhere.

I didn't kill him.

Why didn't you come to the hospital?

I didn't want what happened to me...

and Swayze...

..to happen to my baby.

Growing up a nobody...

..passed around, moved on.

That might not have happened.

It's always happening.

Every day.

No-one's going to stop them.

Stop who?

Can you think of any reason

why Lana would have risked Can you think of any reason

why Lana would have risked having her baby at home

why Lana would have risked rather than come to the hospital?

rather than come to the hospital?

Could anyone else have taken your vehicle out there?

My wife, Susan,metimes borrows my car,

but she doesn't to the farm anymore.

Why is that?

Because she's got no reason to.

Her parents used to own the place,

and when they died,eft it to the church

and, uh, I don't likeg there anymore.

Why not?

Look, detective, I've got moreto talk about

than my wife's daily travels.

Anyway, wasn't she, uh,

The department are claiming that

both you and Jay don't haveanship of Anya.

both you and Jay don't havecratic bullshit.

This is bureaucratic bullshit.

I'm her aunty. Doesn't that... something?

I'm afraid thatno official order was submitted

after the parents were incarcerated.

So it means that legal guardianshipents.

(DOOR OPENS)}How can they have guardianship

if they're in jail?

I know this can be frustrating.

It's something we all hopeent will address.

But for now,0&}that's just how things work.

Jay, I was...Apparently, Xavier and Letitia

still have custody of Anya,ey're in jail.

OK. Uh...

So do we have to do? We got some paperwork to sign?

I'm afraid it's not that simplebeen put into care.

Since both parents currently incarcerated...
