Short filmTranscript
00:00I'm straddling my husband, kissing him passionately, it's New Year's Eve
00:03As the CEO of Pierce Holdings, I wired my mother-in-law, Lois, 30 grand as a little gift
00:09She was grinning from ear to ear as she scooped up my 3-year-old daughter, Chloe, and headed straight
00:14for the front door
00:15Grandma's taking you to see the fireworks, we're gonna go to church for the watch night service
00:19Two hours passed, they weren't back, and Lois' phone went straight to voicemail
00:25As I was going to look for them, my husband's phone lit up
00:28A text notification, from Oakville Hospital
00:31Carter Davis, guardian of Chloe Pierce, do you consent to transferring her heart to pediatric patient Kim Davis?
00:37Before my brain could process the words, Carter tapped confirm, without a second of hesitation
00:43Who the hell is wristed Kim Davis and screamed? Why are you giving him Chloe's heart?
00:48What heart? Elizabeth, you're losing it, it was just a pop-up ad
00:52I snatched my own phone off the counter, my hands were shaking
00:55I dialed one number, he answered on the first ring
00:59Marcus, someone is trying to cut out the Pierce heir's heart
01:02A hand came out of nowhere and knocked my phone right out of my hand
01:06The screen shattered
01:07Elizabeth Pearson, it's New Year's, don't start shit!
01:10Carter was nothing like his usual obedient self
01:13His face twisted with rage as he pointed at me and shouted
01:16That was a pop-up ad for some stupid drama
01:18Mom took Chloe to the church to pray for the family
01:21The signal DAC's up there, so stop acting crazy
01:24My heart slammed against my ribs
01:26Cold sweat soaked my back
01:28Carter insisting that Chloe spend New Year's at Lois' house had been planned all along
01:32Fine, it was an ad, I misread it
01:35I forced myself to stay calm and turn toward the entryway
01:38I'm going out to buy a few more groceries
01:40Stop!
01:41Carter charged at me and blocked the door with his whole body
01:44He locked it from the inside
01:46Elizabeth, has your postpartum depression come back?
01:49The doctor said when you have an episode, you get paranoid
01:51You think people are after you
01:53He pulled a bottle of sedatives from his pocket and started walking toward me
01:56Be good
01:58Take the pills and get some sleep
01:59When you wake up, Chloe will be back
02:01I stared at that bottle and a hundred memories flashed through my mind
02:04After Chloe was born, Carter told me I had postpartum depression
02:08Every time I felt like something was off in the house
02:11He gave me those pills and said I was having another episode
02:14Now I understood
02:16He was never treating me
02:17He was drugging me so he could turn me into a real lunatic
02:21Get away from me!
02:23I locked eyes with Carter and snarled
02:25Something vicious flashed through his eyes
02:27He used his size against me and reached for my hair
02:30Elizabeth Pierce, I am your legal husband
02:32If you're having a psychotic break, then I have every right to tie you up
02:36Psychotic?
02:38The second he said that, something murderous rose in me
02:40I grabbed the antique vase off the entry table and smashed it as hard as I could against Carter's skull
02:45Porcelain exploded everywhere
02:47Blood came pouring down
02:49Carter staggered back with a scream, clutching his head
02:52His face was full of disbelief
02:54Elizabeth, you crazy bitch!
02:56You actually hit me?
02:57For Chloe, I'd kill if I had to
02:59I kicked Carter out of my way, yanked the door open, and ran
03:02Elizabeth Person!
03:04Carter roared behind me
03:06You walk out that door today, your daughter is dead!
03:08My heart was racing
03:10I jumped into the car and opened the hidden program on my phone with shaking hands
03:14Thank God
03:15For safety
03:16I'd hidden a military-grade GPS tracker inside Chloe's charm, which she had worn since she was born
03:21A red dot blinked on the screen
03:23The location was Oakville Hospital, a private clinic out on the edge of the city
03:27I bit down hard on my lip
03:29That place was notorious
03:31An underground clinic that specialized in illegal organ deals
03:35Chloe, wait for me! Mommy's coming to save you!
03:38The Maybach roared down the highway
03:40I pushed it to a hundred miles an hour
03:43Everything outside blurred into streaks
03:45My phone kept vibrating
03:47Carter
03:47Elizabeth Pearson! Pull the car over right now!
03:50Mom just took Chloe in for a full checkup
03:52What the hell are you losing your mind for?
03:53A checkup?
03:54I thought you said she was at the watch night service
03:56Carter, if anything happens to Chloe, I will bury your whole damn family
03:59Bury us? You think you can?
04:00You're a...
04:00Elizabeth, guess I forgot to mention this
04:03I put a hidden camera in our bedroom
04:06Every video of us together, every single night
04:08I saved all of it
04:09If you ruin this for Kim, your nudes and your sex tricks will be all over the internet within 30
04:13minutes
04:14Pierce stock will crash
04:16Your father will drop dead from the shock
04:17And you?
04:18You'll be the whore everyone knows by name
04:20So if you don't want your whole life destroyed
04:22Turn the car around and come back
04:24It felt like a knife twisting in my chest
04:26But it also snapped me fully awake
04:29This was the man I had loved for three years
04:31The kind that rips flesh off bone
04:33Go ahead, post them
04:35In the rearview mirror, two black vans came out of nowhere
04:38My eyes were cold
04:40Carter, let's see what hits the news first
04:42My naked pictures
04:43Or your obituary
04:45Before I even finished, the two vans lunged at me from both sides
04:49You want me dead
04:52I gripped the wheel tight
04:54Then I'll send you to hell first
04:56I didn't hit the brakes
04:58I shifted up
04:59Floored it
05:00Then I yanked the wheel hard to the left and slammed straight into the van beside me
05:05Sparks exploded
05:06The van spun out, flipped sideways, and rolled straight into the median
05:10The impact threw me forward
05:12My forehead smashed into the steering wheel
05:15Blood poured down at once
05:16My vision blurred red
05:18I didn't stop
05:20I drove all the way to Oakville Hospital
05:22The front entrance was already blocked
05:24A few security guards stood there waiting with riot batons in their hands
05:28Move behind me
05:29Carter jumped out of another car
05:31He was screaming
05:32Grab that psycho, don't let her upstairs
05:34I pulled a high voltage stun batten out of my bag
05:37Carter dropped first
05:38Foam spilled from his mouth as he hit the ground convulsing
05:41I didn't even look at him
05:43I stepped over his body and sprinted for the elevator
05:46The GPS showed Chloe on the fourth floor
05:49The elevator doors slid open
05:51At a glance, I saw Chloe
05:53Her little face was white as paper
05:56She was lying on a hospital bed
05:58Already being wheeled toward the oar
05:59Chloe!
06:01I ran at them like I'd lost my mind
06:03Stop her! Now!
06:05Lois shrieked and lunged at me
06:07A woman in scrubs came at me from the other side
06:09I knew her
06:11Rachel Hayes
06:12Carter's distant cousin
06:14She looked at me now with none of the timid, meek act she used to wear
06:17Her eyes were full of open provocation
06:20Elizabeth Pearson, you stole my husband for years
06:23It's time to pay that debt back
06:25My mind went blank
06:27Rachel's husband was supposed to be dead
06:30What the hell did she mean?
06:31I stole her husband
06:32I slapped her across the face
06:34Then I brought the stun batten down hard on her shoulder
06:37Get the hell out of my way!
06:39Who's your husband?
06:40When did I ever steal anyone's husband?
06:43Rachel screamed and collapsed to the floor
06:45I kicked Lois aside and rushed for the oar
06:48But the old woman grabbed my leg and clung to it with everything she had
06:51You are not going in in there!
06:54Chloe's just a girl and she even took your last name
06:57If her heart can save my precious grandson Kim
06:59That's her blessing in life!
07:00Then she opened her mouth and bit down on my calf
07:03Pain shot through me
07:04But it was nothing compared to the storm breaking in my chest
07:07Her precious grandson?
07:09I had been married to Carter for 3 years
07:11I had only ever given birth to Chloe
07:14Lois was never warm to Chloe
07:16But she had never once mentioned a grandson
07:18So where the hell had a grandson come from?
07:21The oar doors were already sliding shut
07:23My eyes went bloodshot
07:24You wanna die?
07:26Fine!
07:26I slammed the stun batten into her
07:28She let out a shrill scream
07:30At the same time
07:31I threw my whole body against the operating room door
07:34Open the door!
07:35Open it now!
07:37I'm Chloe's mother!
07:38I do not consent to this surgery!
07:40I pounded on the sealed door with everything I had
07:43Save your breath
07:44That cold voice came from behind me
07:47Carter was here
07:48And he had a huge man with him
07:50Before I could turn around
07:52They slammed me onto the freezing floor
07:54My arms were twisted behind my back so hard I couldn't move
07:58Carter looked down at me with pure contempt
08:01Elizabeth, stop making a scene
08:02Kim's already critical
08:03The doctor said if he doesn't get the right heart
08:05He won't make it through the night
08:07Chloe's heart is a perfect match for Kim
08:09This is fate
08:10She was meant to save her own brother
08:12Brother?
08:13I only have one child
08:15One daughter
08:16Where the hell did she get a brother?
08:18Kim is my son with Rachel
08:19That makes him Chloe's brother
08:20A wave of cold shot through my whole body
08:23It felt like I'd been dropped into an ice pit
08:25Carter had been cheating on me
08:27His eyes turned greedy and savage
08:29Elizabeth Pearson, don't be selfish
08:31Rachel and I were in love
08:33We were supposed to be together
08:34You used your family's money and power to force me into your family
08:38His voice shook with anger
08:39You owe her that
08:40Now your daughter's heart is how you pay it back
08:43That's only fair
08:45I stared at him with bloodshot eyes
08:47My stomach turned so hard I thought I might throw up
08:50Carter, you animal
08:52Chloe is your daughter too
08:54How can you do this?
08:55This was the same man who had sworn he was single when he chased me
08:59The same man who knelt outside my father's house
09:01Begging for one chance
09:02And now he was saying I forced him into this marriage
09:06Beside him, Rachel clutched her swollen face and started crying
09:09Elizabeth, Chloe's just a girl, a throwaway
09:12Kim is different, he's a boy
09:13When he grows up he can carry on the family line
09:15He can take care of you when you're old
09:17Trading one useless girl for an heir to carry on the Pierce name
09:20You're the one coming out ahead
09:21I closed my eyes
09:22Barely holding back the sickness twisting through my gut
09:25They didn't just want to wipe out the Pierce family
09:28They wanted to use my daughter's life to pave the road for that bastard child
09:31Mommy, mommy, save me
09:36Chloe!
09:40Let me go!
09:42You animals!
09:43You murderers!
09:45Elizabeth, how did you become so cruel?
09:48If Chloe dies, we can always have another baby
09:50But Rachel only has Kim
09:52If Kim dies, she won't survive it
09:54Then the light above the operating room turned a harsh, blinding red
10:02Carter Davis!
10:04Even animals don't eat their own young!
10:06You're worse than any beast alive!
10:08Chloe's crying was getting weaker
10:09What started as blood-curdling screams turned into broken little whimpers
10:13The anesthesia was taking effect
10:15No, absolutely not
10:18My daughter was only three
10:19She was not dying on some freezing operating table
10:22I twisted around and sank my teeth into the big man's arm
10:25The taste of blood burst across my tongue
10:28Ah!
10:28This crazy bitch bites!
10:30He howled and let go
10:31I tore free
10:32Sprang up
10:33And drove my knee straight into Carter's crotch
10:36Carter folded in half with a scream
10:38His face went white in an instant
10:40I grabbed the fire extinguisher from the hallway and slammed it against the OR's electronic lock
10:45The lock shattered
10:46I shoved the door open and stumbled inside
10:48Covered in blood
10:49What I saw nearly made me pass out
10:52Chloe's tiny body was strapped to the table
10:54A bright red circle had been drawn on her chest
10:57The lead surgeon was holding a scalpel
10:59Poised over my daughter's skin like he was deciding where to cut
11:02Stop!
11:03I hurled the fire extinguisher at him
11:05It smashed into his shoulder
11:07He cried out
11:08And the scalpel clattered to the floor
11:10I threw myself over Chloe
11:12Ripped the floor from her arm and pulled her limp little body into my arms
11:15It's okay baby
11:16Mommy's here
11:17Mommy's got you
11:19A blast of pain exploded in the back of my head
11:21Rachel stood behind me with a fire extinguisher in her hands
11:25Her face was twisted with rage
11:27Bitch!
11:27You really think you're getting out of here?
11:29Everything went black for a second
11:31I hit the floor with Chloe still in my arms
11:34Dizzy and half conscious
11:35I clung to her with everything I had
11:37I would not let go
11:38Lois and Carter closed in
11:40Hurry up!
11:42Take that little bitch away!
11:43Can't wait any longer!
11:45The old woman dropped down and started prying at my fingers
11:48Carter's face darkened
11:49Then he drove his foot straight into my chest
11:52Bitch!
11:52You had to do this the hard way
11:54I felt a rib snap, blood burst from my mouth and splattered across Chloe's pale little face
11:59Get over here!
12:00Kim doesn't have time!
12:01Feet came down on me from every side
12:03I curled around Chloe on the floor while they kicked me again and again
12:06My broken rib felt like it had punched into my lung
12:09Every breath sliced through me like a knife
12:12Carter crouched down, peeled back my stiff, blood slick fingers one by one and ripped Chloe out of my arms
12:17Rachel stepped forward in her heels and ground them down onto the back of my hand
12:20Twisting hard over the blood and skin
12:22Elizabeth Pearson, look at you now
12:24In a minute, we're shipping you off to the middle of nowhere to be sold off as a whore
12:29You'll never make it back
12:31And my son Kim will inherit every last penny the Pierce family owns
12:36I lay there on the floor, helpless, and watched them strap my daughter back onto the operating table
12:41Please
12:42I grabbed Carter's pant leg like it was the last thing left in the world
12:46Please let Chloe go
12:48I'll give you a billion dollars
12:49I'll transfer it right now
12:50And I swear I won't come after any of you for today
12:53Carter, if you kill her, you'll pay for it with your life
12:57Take the money, build your life
12:59You can find another donor heart
13:01Carter hesitated
13:03His eyes flickered
13:04Then he looked at Rachel
13:06Don't listen to her
13:07If that woman lives, the Pierce will come after us sooner or later
13:10But if you kill them both, everything the Pierce family has becomes ours
13:14Carter, only dead people keep secrets
13:16Carter's face turned savage again
13:18Right
13:19You finish it clean
13:21Then he turned and shouted at the doctor
13:23What are you waiting for?
13:24Do it now!
13:25Take the heart!
13:26The surgeon picked up the scalpel and drove it toward my daughter's chest
13:29No!
13:30The scream ripped out of me so hard
13:32It felt like my whole body split open
13:34Tears mixed with blood at the corners of my eyes
13:37A deafening impact shook the room
13:39Carter was sent flying across the oar and slammed into the wall
13:42At the same time dozens of bodyguards in black stormed in and locked the whole room down in seconds
13:47Marcus walked to the operating table, wrapped Chloe carefully in a blanket, and handed her to the doctor who came
13:52with him
13:53Then he turned, lifted me into his arms, and looked at the Davis family
13:56There was murder in his eyes
13:58Who the hell thinks they can touch someone from the Pierce family?
14:01The surgeon's hand was stomped hard against the floor
14:04His whole face twisted from the corner
14:07If those hands only know how to hurt people, then you don't need them anymore
14:11In the corner, Carter was curled up on the floor, one hand clutching his chest
14:16Who the hell are you people?
14:17There are laws in this country
14:18I'm calling the cops
14:19I'm Elizabeth Pierce's husband
14:21I'm trying as my son
14:23What's wrong with that?
14:24What right do you have to do this?
14:26Stop!
14:27And I
14:28A family matter
14:31Carter Davis, did you forget something?
14:34Pierce Holdings belongs to the Pierce
14:38Who are you?
14:39Are you some man Elizabeth's been keeping on the side?
14:42I knew it!
14:44That bitch already found herself another man!
14:46That's why she wouldn't save our Kim!
14:48You homewrecker!
14:50Both of you deserve to die!
14:52The nearest bodyguard backhanded her so hard
14:54She flew sideways and slammed into a metal cabinet
14:57She spat out a mouthful of blood
14:59Two teeth came with it
15:01Murder!
15:02They're killing people!
15:03The mob is killing people!
15:06My grandson!
15:08My precious Kim!
15:09He hasn't even had his surgery yet!
15:12Somebody save him!
15:13He's all I have!
15:14Throw that bastard out of here!
15:15You're a dead!
15:16You can't throw him out!
15:18He needs surgery!
15:20Where's the heart?
15:21Cut that useless girl's heart out!
15:23A heart?
15:24That's what you want?
15:27If that little bastard needs one so badly
15:29Then cut open these three animals to your hearts
15:32And test their hearts
15:33Let's see whose matches
15:41What do you mean I'm alive?
15:44I'm Kim's father!
15:47Oh, so now you do know something about being alive?
15:52Chloe is alive too
15:54When you did this
15:55Did you remember she was your daughter?
15:57The bodyguards stepped forward
15:59And dragged the three of them up like sacks of garbage
16:01No!
16:02You can't do this to a woman!
16:05Take them
16:06If they enjoy experimenting on human bodies so much
16:09Send them to the hole
16:11Let them find out what it really feels like
16:14To be cut open alive
16:15The bodyguards dragged them out
16:17Their screams and desperate pleas echoed through the hallway
16:19Elizabeth!
16:21Honey!
16:21I was wrong!
16:23I lost my mind for a second!
16:25Elizabeth Pearson!
16:26You're gonna die for this!
16:29I sighed against Marcus's solid chest
16:31He smelled like cold cedar
16:33It was the same cedar scent I remembered from when I first met him
16:37I still remembered that day
16:39His family had been torn apart by an accident
16:41In his father's final moments
16:43He asked his oldest friend, my grandfather
16:46To look after his youngest son, Marcus
16:48From that day on, he had always been there, protecting me
16:52That smell of cedar was the first thing all night that made me feel safe
16:57Marcus
16:59Chloe
17:01Go to sleep
17:06Elizabeth, don't be scared
17:07I'm here now
17:09No one will ever hurt you or Chloe again
17:15Chloe!
17:16I jolted awake so hard that pain tore through my entire body at once
17:20Chloe's okay
17:21A warm hand pressed down on my shoulder immediately
17:24Marcus's eyes were bloodshot, his voice rough with exhaustion
17:27She only hailed a little anesthetic
17:29She's asleep in the room next door
17:31The second I knew my daughter was alive, every nerve in my body went slack
17:35I collapsed back against the pillows
17:37Then the hatred hit me
17:39Where are Carter and the others?
17:43Are they dead?
17:45Dead?
17:46That would be letting them off easy
17:48Marcus picked up the remote and let out a cold laugh
17:51They're busy putting on a show right now
17:53The TV screen lit up
17:54It was the local news station with the highest ratings in the city, broadcasting live
17:59On the screen, Carter sat in a wheelchair with thick bandages wrapped around his head
18:03His face was pale as paper
18:05Rachel and Lois stood beside him
18:07Sobbing dramatically into a cluster of microphones and camera flashes
18:11The headline blazed across the bottom of the screen in bold black letters
18:15Wealthy family scandal
18:16Pierce holding CEO caught cheating
18:18Mob lover assaults father of terminally ill child
18:21Carter held up a blurry photo
18:23It was the shot from last night
18:25The one of Marcus carrying me out of the operating room
18:28I was only trying to save my sick nephew
18:31And her boy toy beat me half to death
18:33I've put up with Elizabeth being dominating at home for years
18:37But I never imagined she'd cheat on me behind my back
18:41She even tried to sell off my own daughter
18:43Lois dropped to the floor and started wailing
18:46This is pure evil!
18:48That adulterous pair refused to save a child and then tried to silence us
18:55Who's going to stand up for my poor grandson, Kim?
18:59I'm Carter's cousin
19:00I've worked like a servant in the Pierce household
19:03Waited on her hand and foot
19:05And she still beat me
19:07Yesterday, just to stop Kim from getting treatment
19:10She had someone break my cousin's leg
19:12The online comments exploded instantly
19:15This woman is pure poison
19:17Throw her in jail
19:18Boycott Pierce Holdings
19:20Let the company burn
19:21Poor Mr. Davis
19:23Marrying into a rich family must be hell
19:26I stared at Carter's face on the screen
19:28That sanctimonious, lying face
19:30And suddenly, I laughed
19:32They really do want to die
19:34Marcus covered my hand with his
19:36A brutal flash of murder crossed his eyes
19:38Just say the word, and I'll make them disappear tonight
19:41No one will ever trace it back to the Pierce
19:44No
19:44I pushed his hand away
19:46Threw back the blanket
19:47And swung my bare feet onto the floor
19:49Forcing myself up despite the sharp agony in my ribs
19:53Making them disappear would be too easy
19:56I want them ruined
19:58I want them broken
20:00I want them to suffer
20:01I picked up my phone from the bedside table
20:04There was already a text from Carter
20:07Elizabeth Pierce
20:08If you don't want your nudes and your little affair with that man all over the internet
20:11Bring Chloe back right now so she can donate her heart to Kim
20:14And get 50 million ready for emotional damages
20:17If you don't
20:19I'll release every video I have and let the whole world see what kind of filthy whore you really are
20:23This was the man I had loved for three years
20:26For another woman's son, he was willing to drive me and my daughter straight into hell
20:30I turned to Marcus, my eyes steady now
20:33Marcus set up a press conference for me
20:36Right now
20:36He looked at me for a long moment
20:38Then, at last, the hard line of his mouth lifted
20:42He stood, took off his coat, and draped it over my shoulders
20:45Covering the thin hospital gown
20:48Done
20:50Whatever you want to do, I'm with you
20:53Pierce Holdings
20:54Main conference hall
20:55I sat in a wheelchair wearing a hospital gown
20:58No makeup
20:59The bruises on my face were impossible to miss
21:02I had just lifted the microphone when the doors slammed open
21:05Elizabeth Pearson, you vicious bitch, you cheating whore!
21:09Carter stormed in with a pack of influencers behind him
21:11All of them holding up their phones and live streaming
21:14Rachel Hayes shoved a wheelchair forward
21:16Lois trailing after her
21:17The three of them came charging toward the stage like rabid dogs
21:21Carter jabbed a finger in my face
21:23Spit flying as he shouted
21:24Get Chloe over right now!
21:26She's my daughter!
21:27Everybody watching, get a good look
21:29This is the woman right here
21:30She was ready to sell off her own daughter for another man
21:33And she'd rather let my poor nephew die than save him
21:36Flashbulbs went wild
21:37The reporters rushed in, practically vibrating with excitement
21:41Ms. Pierce, care to respond?
21:44Did you really cheat on your husband?
21:46Traffic your own daughter and try to murder your nephew?
21:48I looked at Carter coldly
21:50Ladies and gentlemen, instead of listening to stories
21:52Why don't we look at the evidence?
21:54I lifted my hand and pressed play
21:56The giant screen behind me flared to life
21:58On screen, Carter's face twisted with fury as his voice exploded through the hall
22:02Elizabeth Pearson's nudes all over the internet
22:04You'll become the kind of hit every man can have
22:07Elizabeth, how did you become so cruel?
22:10If Chloe dies, we can always have another baby
22:12But Rachel only has Kim
22:14If Kim dies, she won't survive it
22:16The room went dead silent
22:18The reporters stared at the screen in shock
22:20Even the camera shutters seemed to stop for a beat
22:23Then the room erupted
22:25My god!
22:26He's not even human!
22:28Carter stared at the screen, his face draining white
22:30He lunged toward the cameras in a panic
22:33Trying to block every lens in sight
22:34Turn it off! Turn it off now!
22:36It's fake! It's AI!
22:38She fabricated all of it!
22:40I pressed the remote again
22:41Two DNA test reports appeared on the screen
22:43Carter Davis and Kim Davis
22:45Confirmed biological father and son
22:47Carter Davis
22:48I spoke into the microphone
22:50My voice flat and cold
22:52For three years after marrying into the Pierce family
22:54You lived off me
22:55Wore what I bought
22:57Spent Pierce money
22:58And used it to support your first wife and her son
23:00You told me Rachel Hayes was your cousin
23:02You told me Kim was your nephew
23:04Now tell everyone here what you have to say for yourself
23:07Even a wild animal won't eat its own young
23:09You're lower than that
23:11Rachel let out a shrill scream and pointed at the screen
23:13It's fake! Elizabeth forged all of it!
23:16I gave a short, cold laugh and played another video
23:18Three years ago, Carter was kneeling outside the Pierce estate
23:21Crying so hard he could barely speak
23:23Sir, please, please give me a chance to marry into the Pierce family
23:27I swear I'll treasure Elizabeth with all my heart
23:30I will never betray her for as long as I live
23:33The irony was almost too much to bear
23:35Bigamy
23:36Fraud
23:37Attempted murder
23:38Illegal organ trafficking
23:40The rest of your life starts in prison
23:42The mood in the room turned instantly
23:44The reporters who had been backing Carter just moments ago now looked at him with open disgust
23:49No! Elizabeth, listen to me! I can explain!
23:51Carter finally broke
23:53He dropped to his knees with a thud and started crawling toward me
23:56I was tricked!
23:57It was Rachel! That bitch seduced me!
23:59Elizabeth, I love you!
24:00I just wanted a son to carry on the family name!
24:02I was confused! I made a mistake!
24:04Carter Davis, you bastard!
24:06Rachel flew into a rage and threw herself at him, clawing and tearing at his clothes
24:10When our son got sick, you walked out on us and didn't look back
24:14Then later, when Elizabeth couldn't give you a son, you regretted it and wanted one again!
24:19I watched the two of them brawl below the stage and felt nothing but disgust
24:23Carter Davis, Pierce Honings is filing for divorce immediately
24:26I am revoking every investment, freezing every supplemental card and reclaiming every house and car bought with my money
24:32I paused, letting my eyes sweep over the custom suit he was wearing
24:36And one more thing, that clothes and that watch you have on right now were paid for with my card
24:42They're not yours! Take them off!
24:45Security! Strip him and throw him out!
24:49Elizabeth Pierce! Ah! You can't do this to me! I'm the Pierce family's son-in-law!
24:54In front of a room full of cameras, Carter Davis was stripped down to a pair of bright red briefs
24:58Then he was dragged out and thrown into the street
25:01Outside Pierce Holdings, the wind cut like a blade
25:05So this is the animal who tried to carve his own daughter's heart out
25:08Disgusting! Come on guys, drop some gifts and let's see if I can get him to roll over
25:13Carter Davis! You worthless piece of trash!
25:16Weren't you the one who said you had Elizabeth completely under control?
25:19Kim's waiting on life-saving treatment
25:21The hospital's about to cut off his meds
25:22Where's the money?
25:23Get off me, you bitch!
25:25If you hadn't been whispering in my ear every damn day
25:27Tell me we had to dig Chloe's heart out
25:29I never would have ended up like this
25:31I told you I had money
25:32I said we could buy a heart
25:34You were the one who kept saying full siblings had a better match
25:38And we could save the money
25:39This is all your fault!
25:41What a curse this all is!
25:42It's all because of this little witch!
25:44I told you from the start Elizabeth was the better one
25:47But no, you had to get mixed up with this tramp
25:49Shut up! What good is crying now?
25:51Well, isn't this lively?
25:52Rachel, this is the long-term meal-out you told me about?
25:55Why is he stripped naked and looking like some stray dog?
25:57Jake Johnson! What are you doing here?
25:59Carter froze for a beat
26:00Rachel, who the hell is he?
26:02Who am I?
26:03I'm Rachel's boyfriend
26:04Old man, old man, we should be thanking you
26:06You spent the last three years working yourself to death so we could live it up
26:09Carter went rigid
26:11If you're her boyfriend, then what the hell am I?
26:16What are you?
26:17You're just some idiot who was good for money
26:18If it hadn't been for Kim's medical bills
26:20Who do you think would have bothered putting up with some pathetic two-second man like you?
26:23Every dollar you spent these past three years was money you owed me and Kim
26:27I'll kill both of you!
26:31Help, Johnson!
26:32You old bastard, let go!
26:34The moment Carter's mother saw her son getting beaten, she threw herself into the fight to help him
26:38The four of them ended up brawling right there in the street
26:41No one in the crowd tried to stop them
26:43And the whole thing was just getting started
26:46In the end, Carter and his whole family were taken away by the police
26:49Because of the brawl in a public place, they were held for 24 hours
26:53When Carter got out, he was covered in bruises
26:56The worst of it was below the waist
26:58He could barely walk without his legs bowing outward
27:01The only place he had left to go was the cramped little room at Oakville Hospital
27:05That was where his last shred of hope was lying
27:07Kim Davis
27:09The second he stepped inside
27:11The doctor coldly slapped two papers against his chest
27:14You owe $100,000
27:16If the bill isn't paid by tomorrow, we stop the medication
27:20And this is your injury report
27:22Carter bent down with shaking hands and picked it up
27:25The moment he read it, his eyes widened in horror
27:28Crushed testicular rupture
27:30Permanent loss of reproductive function
27:33It felt like something exploded in his head
27:35He dropped to the floor, staring blankly into space
27:38He, Carter Davis, was less than a man now
27:41Done
27:42Finished
27:43Which meant the child lying in that hospital bed, Kim
27:46Was the only bloodline he had left
27:48The only son
27:49The only heir
27:51If Kim died, the Davis line died with him
27:54Doctor, please
27:56You have to save my son
27:58He's the only one I've got
28:01What's the point of all this crying if you don't have money?
28:03Go find the cash
28:04The room went dead silent
28:07What kind of curse is this?
28:09They took everything
28:11How are we supposed to save my grandson?
28:13Now
28:14Money
28:16We need money
28:17Carter muttered
28:19His eyes darted wildly around the room
28:21Rachel was huddled in the corner, not daring to speak
28:24Johnson had already run off
28:26She didn't have a dollar to her name anymore
28:29Then Carter's gaze landed on her
28:31Greedy
28:32Calculating
28:33Predatory
28:34Rachel
28:39For Kim's sake
28:40You'd do anything, wouldn't you?
28:43Carter
28:44What are you doing?
28:45Kim is our son
28:47He's the future
28:49A place like Oakville Hospital will do anything if you pay enough
28:53A kidney goes for 30 grand on the black market
28:56Your corneas would fetch plenty too
29:00You're Kim's mother
29:01Using your organs to save your son is only natural, right?
29:05No, that's illegal!
29:06I'm alive!
29:07I'm not selling anything!
29:09I'm not!
29:09Rachel, Carter's right
29:11You've got two kidneys
29:12Losing one won't kill you
29:14Kim is the only thing that matters to the Davis family
29:17Let me go!
29:18You old hag!
29:19Let me go!
29:26Stop fighting!
29:28Move again and I'll choke you to death!
29:30The rubber tubing bit into her flesh
29:32Rachel's eyes rolled back
29:34Her tongue slipped out as her hands weakly clawed at Carter's wrists
29:38Once we sell you, we'll have the money!
29:40Then Kim lives!
29:42He had just started dragging Rachel, half-conscious now, toward the door to find a doctor
29:46When the room exploded inward
29:48The door was kicked wide open
29:52Police! Nobody move!
29:53More than a dozen armed officers flooded the room
29:56Their weapons raised and aimed straight at Carter
29:58Then came the sound of wheelchair wheels rolling over tile
30:01Marcus pushed me slowly through the doorway and stopped just inside
30:04Carter Davis
30:06Kidnapping, aggravated assault and illegal human organ trafficking
30:10This time you're not getting out
30:11You'll rot in prison
30:13Carter's hands went slack
30:15Rachel dropped from his grasp like a rag doll and hit the floor
30:18Clutching her throat as she coughed violently
30:20He turned his head toward me, stiff and slow
30:23The last light in his eyes had gone out
30:25Elizabeth Pierce, you really are ruthless
30:28Ruthless?
30:29No
30:30You did this to yourself
30:33Then the handcuffs snapped shut with a hard metallic click
30:36And that was the end of him
30:38Three months later
30:40The courtroom was solemn and still
30:42Standing at the defense table
30:44Carter looked like he had aged 20 years
30:46His hair had gone gray
30:48His back was bent
30:49There was nothing left of the man who had once carried himself with swagger and pride
30:53The judge brought down the gavel
30:55Defendant Carter Davis
30:56Having been found guilty of bigamy
30:58Fraud, aggravated assault
31:00Illegal trafficking of human organs
31:02And kidnapping
31:03Is hereby sentenced to life imprisonment
31:05Without the possibility of parole
31:07And confiscation of all personal assets
31:09Defendant Rachel Hayes
31:10Having been found guilty of aggravated assault
31:13Fraud and kidnapping
31:15Is hereby sentenced to 15 years in prison
31:18Defendant Lois Davis
31:19Having been found guilty of aiding and adedging
31:22And aggravated assault
31:23Is hereby sentenced to 8 years in prison
31:26When he heard the sentence
31:28Carter slowly turned and looked at me in the gallery
31:30I looked back at him calmly
31:32My eyes were completely cold
31:34As for the child named Kim
31:36He had died on the third day after Carter's arrest for multiple organ failure
31:40After the sentencing
31:41I went to the detention center to see Carter one last time
31:45Separated by bulletproof glass
31:47Carter picked up the phone
31:48Elizabeth, you won
31:53No
31:54You were just too greedy
31:56Carter let out a broken laugh
31:58Cloudy tears spilled down his face
32:00Yeah
32:01I could have had everything
32:03I had a beautiful wife
32:04A wonderful daughter
32:05And more money than I could spend
32:07I'm the one who ruined it all with my own hands
32:10I'll behave in there
32:11I'll do my time right
32:13Chloe
32:14Is she doing okay?
32:16Carter
32:16From this day on
32:17Chloe has nothing to do with you
32:19She will forget you completely as her father
32:22You can spend the rest of your life making up for what you did
32:25That is the debt you owe Chloe
32:27With that
32:28I hung up the phone
32:29And walked out of the visitation room without looking back
32:32Behind me
32:32I could hear Carter break down
32:34Sobbing so hard
32:35It sounded like his heart was being torn apart
32:37But I didn't care anymore
32:39When I stepped out through the gates of the detention center
32:41The sun was shining
32:42The window rolled down
32:44Revealing Marcus' handsome profile
32:46Chloe was wearing a pink princess dress
32:48She flew into my arms like a happy little butterfly
32:51After months of therapy
32:53She had finally come out of the darkness
32:54And become bright and lively again
32:56Mommy
32:57Uncle Marcus said he's taking us to Disneyland today
32:59Come on hurry
33:00Marcus stepped out of the car
33:03And slipped his other arm lightly around my waist
33:05Is it all over?
33:07Yeah
33:08It's over
33:09Then it's time for a new life to begin
33:11He crouched down
33:13Lifted Chloe into his arms
33:14And then looked at me with a tenderness so deep
33:16Chloe
33:17How about calling me dad from now on?
33:21Daddy!
33:25The sunlight poured over us
33:27Warm and golden
33:27I looked at the two of them smiling
33:29And felt myself smile too
33:31No matter how deep into hell life may drag you
33:33If you keep walking forward
33:35You will always find the light
33:37You will always find the light
33:40You will always find the light
33:40You will always find the light
