The Cost of Silence: Ambition, Control, and the Unimaginable Tragedy of Sarah Hamdi · Crime Night

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Imagine the quiet of an early morning in tartsa village,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Giza Governorate, That usual pre dawn stillness, But then July
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: twenty eighth, twenty seventeen, eight am sharp, that silence is
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: just shattered. A woman's scream cuts through everything. Help me,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I'm dying. It just hangs there in the air, you know, raw, desperate,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and then it fades. A neighbor hears it, pauses maybe,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: but things, uh, it's just another domestic squabble. Heard it before,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: dismisses it.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: That dismissal is chilling in hindsight, isn't it that normalization?
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: It really is, because less than an hour passes and
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: things get stranger. A knock on a door. It's Hazem's mother.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: She's acting unusually friendly, saying she just missed her daughter
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: in law, a really odd visit.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Right then a distraction, perhaps is calculated it does.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Moments later, chaos a lock department, police sirens, urgent sounds,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: and then you see him, Hazem being let out, handscuffed, face,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: just blank. The police confirm it. Sarah and her tiny
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: baby daughter, they're gone, just devastating. Today we're diving deep
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: into this a story where ambition bright burning ambition ran
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: headlong into tradition where hidden truths led to well unimaginable tragedy.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: This is a deep dive into the real cost of silence,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: what happens when we ignore those warnings, those gut feelings.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and this isn't just about recounting the events as
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: it It's more of a study, really, a study and
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: how control creeps in, how manipulation works, how boundaries just
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: get worn down. Bit by bit. You'll hear how this
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: young woman, Sarah, with this vibrant future ahead of her,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: had it all chipped away peace by agonizing peace until well,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: until nothing was left. Our goal here is to try
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: and understand the threads, the intricate threads that wove this
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: tragedy together. We want to highlight those moments, those turning
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: points where maybe different choices could have changed everything.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: It's about understanding the how and the why, not just
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the what precisely. Okay, let's go back back to twenty thirteen.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Meet Sarah Hamdi. She's bright, beautiful, respected from a decent
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: middle class family in Tarsa, and she has this dream
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: roles in media college. Wants to be a journalist, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: she wasn't just coasting either, right, Yeah, no, not at all.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: She was excelling, always interurning, top of her class. Everyone
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: loved her work, peers, professors. She even had a job
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: promise lined up for after graduation. Her dream was right there.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: She was even thinking about a master's degree.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: So fast forward, it's twenty seventeen. Sarah graduates. You'd expect,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you know, celebrations, right, big achievement, but instead her family
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: hits her with this ultimatum. Ultimatum. Yeah. Her mother basically
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: lays it out. Okay, we supported your study, she says,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: but the real dream now, that's marriage, building a home.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: They wanted to settle her, as they put it, and
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: sure her future was secure in that traditional sense.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Wow. So Sarah must have been just floored right, pleads
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: with them, let me work first, establish myself, use my degree,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: but her mother just wouldn't budge, dismiss it all. No
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: argument seemed valid against getting married.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: And that moment that feels like the first major clash,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: doesn't it Her dreams versus their exits.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Definitely a collision course starting right there.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's that initial deep conflict between who she wanted
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: to be and the role society or at least her
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: family expected her to play, and then a knee. She
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: must have felt that's her intuition kicking in, but it's
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: so hard to act on that when you're facing that
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: kind of pressure.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, the boundaries start blurring early.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Exactly before you even realize it.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: And then, almost perfectly timed with the family's wishes, a
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: suitor appears.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Hazem.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: He's a cook, seems respectable, stable, ready to settle down, and.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: He's good at convincing people.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: It sounds like very He totally wins over Sarah's family,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: paints this perfect picture, you know, stability, security. He even
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: says he has his own apartment, fully furnished, appliances and everything,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: so Sarah just needs to bring her clothes.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: That's it. To the family. That probably sounded amazing, selfless.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Even right, almost too perfect.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and you know that whole I just need
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: you narrative. It sounds generous on the surface, right, but
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: sometimes it can actually be a subtle control tactic. It's
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: a bit like love bombing grand gestures early on. By
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: making it seem like she brings nothing better herself, it
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: kind of minimizes her independence from the start, creates this
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: feeling of maybe being indebted, less empowered.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I see, it's a quiet way to gain leverage exactly.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: It's designed to disarm you, make you lower your guard.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: So Sarah, convinced by her family, may be swayed by
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Hazem's act, she makes this huge sacrifice. She goes to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: that newspaper, the one that promised her a job, her future,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and she quits, gives up her dream.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Wow, just like that, Just like that.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Then only a week later, Hazem and his mother come over,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and it's his mother who's running the show, dictating everything,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: says the engagement has to be just one month long,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: assures them the apartment's all ready to go.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: One month. That's incredibly fast, it is.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: And Sarah feels it, this unease. Something feels wrong about
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the rush, about his mother being so dominant. It feels
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: less like a wedding plan, more like a dead line.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: That gut feeling, that internal alarm bell. It's so important.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: But when things move that fast and there's family pressure, yeah,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: it's easy to push those feelings down, right, rationalize them away.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Is just nerves, Yeah, you tell yourself it's just cold feet, right,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: And that speed is classic course of control.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: No time to think, no time to really investigate, Just
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: lock you in before you can second guess it.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: But Sarah, despite everything, she trusts that feeling. She asks
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: her brothers, her uncles, can you check this guy out? Discreetly?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Good for her for acting on that intuition.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And what they find it's shocking. Hazem hasn't just
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: been engaged before, He's been engaged multiple times, and worse,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: he was actually married and divorced, something both he and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: his mother completely hid.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Wow, Okay, that's not just a small emission. That's a
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: massive deception here. She just destroys any trust from the
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: get go, doesn't it. I mean, how fundamental is honesty
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: at the start, especially hiding something like a previous marriage.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: It's not an accident, it's calculated.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. So Sarah, feeling totally betrayed, decides, Okay, that's it.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I'm breaking off.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: The engagement makes sense, a reasonable reaction to being lied
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: to so fundamentally.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: But then Hazen finds out she knows, and he calls her,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and this is where you see his manipulation skills in
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: full force. He puts on this incredible performance.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Oh boy, what does he say?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Claims it was love at first sight with her, makes
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: up this whole sob story about his ex wife, says
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: she was unfaithful, that he divorced her, frames himself as
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: this noble guy who kept quiet to protect her reputation.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Says he's totally forgotten the past, only sees a future
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: with Sarah.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Ugh the victim card. Yeah, combined with the love bombing,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: it's textbook.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Exactly, and it works. Sarah is swayed by his words
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: his act. She reverses her decision agrees to go ahead
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: with the engagement.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Again, that's tough to hear. He's playing on her empathy,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: her desire for this to work out. He makes her
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: feel guilty for doubting him, even though she caught him
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: in a massive lie. You know, for anyone listening that pattern,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the intense declarations, the rush commitment, the convenience story about
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: the past that makes them look good, that's a huge
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: warning sign. It's designed to override your rational thoughts.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: So for the month of the engagement, he keeps up
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the act, treats her well, agrees to pretty much everything
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: except he absolutely refuses to let her work. No negotiation.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Her places at home managing the house. That's it. Her
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: degree doesn't matter.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: The control is still there, just under the surface. Yep.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Then on the wedding day itself, there's this big argument
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: between the mothers about the dowry list the specifics, and
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Haesm interestingly goes against his own mother. He signs the document.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Sarah's family wants hmm.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: That probably felt significant to Sarah at the time, right,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: like he chose her over his mother.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Must have like a sign of commitment.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: But the illusion doesn't last long, not at all.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Just three days after the wedding, Sarah gets a phone call.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Who is it.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: It's Hazm's ex wife. Oh wow, okay, and she tells
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Sarah everything confirm. She was fully married to him, lived
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: with him. She describes this life filled with his constant suspicion,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: his intense jealousy, his complete lack of confidence, and how
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: his mother was always interfering making everything worse.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: So the mother's dominance wasn't just about the wedding plans.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Apparently not. The ex wife says, these issues are why
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: she divorced him, not the other way around. He wasn't
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: just engaged before he was married, and it ended badly
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: because of his behavior and his mother's meddling.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: So Hazm lied about the marriage and the reason for
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the divorce. Yeah, double deception exactly.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: And suddenly Sarah starts seeing Haysm's behavior in a new
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: terrifying light. His refusal to let her leave the house alone,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: or even just step onto the balcony to hang laundry
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: if he wasn't.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: There he clicks into place.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, She realizes it's not love, it's not even normal jealousy.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: It's this deep, suffocating suspicion. It's control.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: So she confronts him, she does.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: And he admits it, finally admits he was married before,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: but he just brushes off the detail, says something like,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I couldn't.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Tell you, couldn't tell you. Wow.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so Sarah married only three days is just speechless,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: stunned into silence.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: And that's silence. That's where the danger really grows, isn't it.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: That feeling of being trapped, of the trust being completely gone,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: but not knowing what to do. The weight of it
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: all becomes paralyzing. That's the price of silence. Starting to
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: build your own voice gets small, it gets worse.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: About a month after that call, the control escalates violently.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Hazem comes home he sees laundry on the balcony, simple laundry,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: and he just erupts. He physically attacks Sarah, accuses her
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: of flirting with someone outside while hanging the clothes. Oh
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: my gosh, he's bleeding, terrified. He beat her.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, this is it. The line is crossed from manipulation
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: and lies to outright physical violence. That's a critical, horrifying
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: turning point. It's fueled by that deep insecurity, that need
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: for control we talked about, a massive breach of safety.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Sarah runs, goes straight to her mother's house, obviously injured.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: While she's there, she sees a doctor because of the
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: injuries and finds out she's pregnant.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Pregnant in the midst of this violence and fear.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and despite Hazen being violent, her family they tell
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: her to go back. They actually believe the pregnancy will
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: fix things, that having a baby will change him.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: That's such a tragically common and dangerous belief that a
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: baby can somehow mend an abusive relationship. It almost never
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: works like that. Often it just escalates things. The child
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: be gives another tool for control, or worse, another target.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: It just reinforces that I silence, that idea of enduring
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: the abuse for some imagined better future.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: So Sarah goes back, but Hazem is cold distant. She
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: confronts him about his attitude, and he reveals this truly
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: terrifying fear he has.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: What is it?
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: He says, he hopes, desperately hopes she doesn't have a girl.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Why because he believes daughters bring shame. He actually threatens her, says,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: if it's a girl, he'll throw both Sarah and the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: baby out.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: That's monstrous, especially since he has himself.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I know. It's completely irrational, deeply misogynistic.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: It shows how ingrained his destructive beliefs are. It's not
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: about the baby, it's about his own twisted views, overriding
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: any kind of paternal feeling. It connects right back to
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: his control as insecurity. Fear of a daughter becomes lethal.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: They fight about it, and Hazem he throws her out again,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: just like he threatened.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Eventually, though, there's another reconciliation, but Sarah's mother is weary
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: now really wary of Hazem's mother's influence, she insists they move.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: There's a vagant apartment in the same building as her.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: That way, she can keep a closer eye on Sarah,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: a sensible precaution given everything, and Hazem agrees, which is
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: maybe surprising, so they move shortly after. Sarah gives birth
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: to a little girl, a beautiful baby girl, oh dear,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: given his threats exactly, and Hazem he's completely detached, just cold,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: refuses to hold her, refuses to even acknowledge her, acts
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: like his own daughter doesn't exist. So this goes on
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: from month and a half, this awful rejection, this chilling
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: silence towards his own child, that.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Poor baby, and poor Sarah having to live.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: With that, And that brings us back back to that
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: morning July twenty eight, twenty seventeen. Sarah's mother hears the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: cry from downstairs, help me, I'm dying, but dismisses it
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: like the neighbor did, thinking it's just another fight.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Then less than an hour later, Hazm's mother shows up
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: for that strange friendly visit, that distraction, But Sarah's mother,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: her intuition is screaming now something is deeply wrong. She
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: ignores the polite act, rushes to Sarah's apartment, finds police everywhere, chaos,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: and Hazem being led away and cuffs the police teller.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: The absolute worst. Hazem murdered Sarah, and he murdered their
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: baby daughter.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Horrific. The culmination, all those red flags, all that control.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: The police piece together. What happened that morning, It's clinical
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: and it's terrifying. Haysm's alarm goes off for work, normal
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: morning routine. Sarah wakes him gently. He gets up, goes
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: to the bathroom, but just before he does, he give
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Sarah this look, a terrifying glare. She probably didn't know
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: what to make of it, falls back asleep.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: What'saw it? Warning?
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Seems like it. He comes out of the bathroom, goes
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: to the kitchen, gets a knife, comes back to the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: bedroom and stabs Sarah eighteen times. Her screams that's the
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: cry the neighbor and her mother heard, ignored, and then
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: to make sure she was dead, he severs.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Her head on fathomable brutality.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: After doing that, he takes a shower, gets ready for
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: work like nothing happened, just completely indifferent.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: The detachment is chilling, but it was an over.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: He hears the baby crying, his daughter one and a
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: half months old. He picks her up, throws her to
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the ground, and stabs her eleven times, and then, just
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: like with Sarah, he severs her head too.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: I I have no words.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: After killing them both, he calmly calls his mother, tells
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: her what he did. Then he calls the police, reports
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: himself and just waits calmly for them to arrive.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: And when they arrested him, he.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Was composed completely, no emotion, and authorities thought, Okay, this
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: must be some kind of mental break, right, psychosis, it
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: seems like.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: The only possible explanation for such an act.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: But the psychiatric evaluations came back clear. He was fully sane,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: no mental disorders, no drugs involved, sane, sane, and when
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: they asked him why, he showed no remorse at all.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: What did you say?
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: His reason was simple, chillingly simple. Sarah gave birth to
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: a daughter.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: That was it. Because daughters bring shame.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: That's what he maintained his belief. That was his entire justification,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: and he re enacted it, calmly, walk them through the
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: whole thing at the apartment, no emotion, nothing.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: It's almost impossible to process that level of coldness, that disconnect.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: So we're left with this, this wreckage. Eleven and a
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: half months of marriage, a young woman with dreams violently killed. Yeah,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: an innocent baby murdered by the person who should have
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: protected them. What do we even take away from this?
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: I think the most profound and devastating lesson here is
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: truly the price of silence, as you called it earlier.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: It echoes through every stage of this story, from the
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: very first lie about his past, the hidden marriage, to
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: the controlling behavior of the isolation, the jealousy, then the
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: violence that first attack, and finally those horrifying misogynistic beliefs
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: about daughters. There were so many red flags, so many
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: moments where intervention might have been possible if.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Someone had spoken up, or if Sarah had been able
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: to leave.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Exactly this case just brutally underscores how vital it is
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: to trust your gut feelings, to question things that don't
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: feel right, to refuse to be silenced by pressure or
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: manipulation or fear. Every ignored doubt, every time someone advised
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: her to just endure it, every time fear kept her quiet.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: It all paved the way for this unspeakable end.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: It makes you think, doesn't it. How do we get
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: better at seeing these patterns, not just in strangers, but
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: in people close to us, in our families, our communities.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: That's the critical question. How do we empower ourselves and
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: each other to challenge control, to speak out a guest abuse,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: even when it's uncomfortab, even when it's happening behind closed doors.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: So that no other dreams, no other lives, are lost
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: in silence. May Sarah and her little daughter finally rest
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: in peace.
