Short filmTranscript
00:00On Christmas, an old woman was stabbed 20 times.
00:02She died.
00:03My wife is a top attorney.
00:05She's defending the killer in court.
00:06He's just a college kid.
00:08Can't you be a little more forgiving?
00:11Drop the case.
00:12Stop trying to ruin a young man's life over your dead mother.
00:15I looked at the body on the slab, carved up beyond recognition.
00:18I laughed, because my arrogant wife didn't know.
00:20The woman who got stabbed to death wasn't my mother.
00:22It was hers.
00:23My mom was supposed to spend Christmas with us.
00:25We'd already made the plan, but this morning she said she wasn't feeling well and called to cancel.
00:29Then, by pure coincidence, I ran into my wife Tessa's mom, Susan Monroe, at the grocery store.
00:34So I invited her over to have Christmas dinner with us.
00:36Tessa was busy all day.
00:37She knew nothing about all this.
00:38And now, I had just brought the body to the funeral home when Tessa showed up with Derek and his
00:42brother.
00:42Damien, Derek looked at the memorial setup and frowned.
00:45Ryan, just because Tessa makes money doesn't mean you should waste it on a dead person.
00:49Damien walked up and spat on the body.
00:51You think you deserve this, old woman?
00:54I rushed at her in fear, but Tessa shoved me away and pulled both of them behind her.
00:58They're just telling the truth.
00:59Your mom is already dead.
01:01Why waste money on her now?
01:03I stared at Tessa in shock.
01:04I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
01:05Ever since her mom was killed, Tessa hadn't shown one bit of concern.
01:08When I sued Damien for murder, she even said she would defend him and get him cleared.
01:12She also pulled strings and spent a lot of money to get Damien released on bail.
01:16I thought Derek had talked her into this madness.
01:18I didn't realize she thought the victim was my mother.
01:21Ryan, go get a refund.
01:23This setup must have cost a fortune, right?
01:24Your mom was always after Tessa's money when she was alive.
01:28Now you are too?
01:28What else would it be?
01:30Like mother, like son.
01:31A woman as greedy and vicious as your mom deserved to get stabbed to death.
01:36My mom never did anything to you.
01:38Stop insulting her.
01:41Refund the money.
01:42We're not doing this funeral.
01:43As for the body, do whatever you want with it.
01:46Tessa, the dead still deserve some respect.
01:48Why not put the body there and keep it simple?
01:50After cremation, you can dump the ashes in there too.
01:53Back to nature.
01:54You'll even save money on an urn and a burial plot.
01:57What do you think, Ryan?
01:58He should be thanking you for being so kind.
02:01Then she directly told the staff to move the body beside the door.
02:03I tried to stop them, but Tessa had people blocking.
02:06I looked at my mother-in-law's body and looked at the door and felt sorry for her.
02:09Tessa lost her father when she was young.
02:12Susan raised her alone and played both parents.
02:14Even when she had almost nothing to eat, she still made sure Tessa could go to tutoring.
02:18And in the end, Tessa would not even give her a decent funeral.
02:27Damien actually kicked my mother-in-law's body straight into the ditch.
02:32My foot slipped.
02:33You're not mad, are you, old man?
02:36He didn't mean it.
02:37Just get some water and rimp her off.
02:39Why are you getting so angry over this?
02:41I looked at the body rolling in the filthy ditch, covered in muck and sewage.
02:45You're going to regret this.
02:47What would I regret?
02:48I'm not wasting time on this other nonsense.
02:51Write Damien of a forgiveness letter.
02:53He's still a college student.
02:54He can't lose his whole life over this.
02:57No.
02:57Susan only caught Damien stealing from Tessa's house.
03:01She tried to stop him.
03:02That was all.
03:03And he stabbed her 20 times.
03:05He even avoided the vital spots on purpose.
03:08He wanted her to suffer.
03:09He wanted her to die slowly.
03:11A monster like that had no right to forgiveness.
03:14And Tessa, a lawyer, was defending the man who killed her own mother.
03:18If Susan couldn't rest in peace, this was why.
03:22Ryan, I'm not discussing this with you.
03:25I'm giving you a chance.
03:55I'm a top attorney.
03:56I'm wrong.
03:57He deserves forgiveness.
04:00I turned and looked.
04:02Damien was grinning while he pissed on Susan's body after they dragged it back out.
04:06I stared at Tessa in shock.
04:08Her face looked twisted.
04:10Damien was desecrating a corpse.
04:12And she called that cleaning it up.
04:14When did she become like this?
04:16What happened to the Tessa who had just become a lawyer and swore to offer justice?
04:20It probably started when Derek became her intern.
04:22Derek never cared about evidence.
04:24He took cases based on his own gut and made up whatever story he wanted.
04:28And Tessa helped him twist the truth.
04:30She helped him send victims to prison.
04:31I told Tessa that was wrong.
04:33She acted like she had a noble reason.
04:35She said she was only trying to protect a young intern from losing confidence.
04:39I'll send you the divorce papers tomorrow.
04:42Ryan, Tessa only spent Christmas with me because she felt bad for me.
04:46I didn't have anyone.
04:47If that upset you, I'm sorry.
04:49But please stop using divorce to scare her.
04:51What if she takes it seriously?
04:53Ryan, you are completely unreasonable.
04:55Let me make this clear.
04:56Not only am I not divorcing you, I'm signing that forgiveness letter myself.
04:59I'm doing it as your wife.
05:00That set Tessa off completely.
05:02She immediately had someone bring her paper and a pen.
05:04Right in front of me, she wrote the letter and signed her name.
05:07And I'm not letting you step into that courtroom either.
05:10Ryan, you forced me to do this.
05:12After Tessa left, I spent a huge amount of money to have Susan cleaned up again.
05:16And had the memorial rebuilt.
05:18Then, I hired a lawyer to draft divorce papers.
05:20And called Tessa to come back and sign them.
05:27Derek answered the phone.
05:30Ryan, Tessa's busy.
05:31She doesn't have time to talk to you.
05:33She said you can forget using divorce to make that forgiveness letter invalid.
05:37Then, he deliberately kept the line open.
05:40I could hear Tessa getting even louder on the other end.
05:43I forced myself to record it before I hung up in disgust.
05:46Since she refused to sign the divorce papers, I had no choice but to bring this to court.
05:50I messaged her.
05:51Then, I'll see you in court.
05:53On the day of the murder trial, I had just reached the courthouse when I got a notice that my
05:57divorce filing had been rejected.
05:59I knew right away that Tessa was behind it.
06:01Then, the funeral home called.
06:03They said the memorial hadn't been trashed.
06:05And someone had taken the body by force.
06:08A staff member sent me a video.
06:10The second I opened it, my eyes went red.
06:14Susan's body, which should have been in the refrigerated casket, had been replaced with the carcass of a big, fat
06:19pig.
06:19There were wreaths on both sides with my mother's name on them.
06:22Even the funeral banners had been changed into filthy insults.
06:26Derek showed up late with his arm around Tessa.
06:28She glanced at my phone screen and spoke with pure malice.
06:31Ryan, this is what happens when you insist on doing things your way.
06:35If you walk into that courtroom today, you'll never see your mother's body again.
06:39Derek pointed at the pig inside the casket.
06:42Look, doesn't it look exactly like your mom?
06:45Tessa and I went through a lot to find such a perfect replacement.
06:50You'll get your mother's body back after my brother is found not guilty.
06:53I didn't think Tessa and Derek could sink this low.
06:56They were doing everything they could to stop me from going into court.
06:59They still thought the dead woman was my mother.
07:01As immediate family, if I refuse forgiveness, Tessa's letter meant nothing.
07:05I punched Derek in the face.
07:07You piece of shit!
07:08Tessa screamed and jumped in front of him.
07:11Ryan, do you want me to send you to prison too?
07:14The ones who belong in prison are you too!
07:18Did you forget I'm a lawyer?
07:19I won't be the one ending up in prison.
07:21You can't threaten me.
07:22You better get this straight.
07:23Do you want to appear in court or do you want your mother's body?
07:26Tessa, has it ever crossed your mind that this isn't my mother's body?
07:30It's your mother's.
07:32Tessa didn't buy it.
07:33My mom was decent and out honest.
07:37There's no way a good college kid would stab her.
07:40Then she pulled out her phone and facetuned someone.
07:42With one word from me, your mother's body will rot with maggots.
07:47On the screen, Susan's body was being dragged toward a septic tank.
07:51As they pulled her, an old burn scar showed on her forearm.
07:55Susan once told me about that scar.
07:57When Tessa was little, she knocked over a kettle of boiling water.
08:01Susan threw herself in front of her and got burned.
08:04Later, she lied and called it a birthmark so Tessa would not feel bad about it.
08:09Derek's eyes narrowed.
08:11He pointed at the scar before I could speak.
08:14Tessa, Ryan's mom really is insane.
08:17It wasn't enough for her to dress like your mom.
08:19Now she had to copy her birthmark too.
08:21For a second, Tessa looked unsure.
08:24Then her face turned to pure disgust.
08:26My mom has a birthmark.
08:28His mom probably burned her to fake it.
08:30That is so pathetic.
08:32Ryan, I didn't know your mom was this sick.
08:34And my mom always said your mom was a good person.
08:37That was a lie.
08:38My mom was never copying Susan.
08:40She knew Susan had a hard life.
08:42Whenever she bought clothes or jewelry, she bought Susan the same set.
08:46Susan was grateful for that.
08:47That was why she had always been good to me.
08:49My chest taped me.
08:50But I still tried to stop Tessa.
08:52She really is your mother.
08:54And that is not a birthmark.
08:56She got that burn protecting you.
09:00This dead woman having the same mark as your mom is bad luck.
09:05Why not cut it off?
09:06Then he grabbed the phone and told the people on the other end to do it.
09:09I lunged for the phone.
09:10Tina swung her purse straight into my face.
09:14I think Derek's right.
09:16You are not going to bully him again.
09:18You are not going to bully him again.
09:20On the screen, they were already cutting into Susan's arm and making it even worse.
09:27Tessa, do you have any humanity left?
09:30You are the one with no humanity.
09:32You are the one trying to send Derek's brother to prison.
09:36I gave you a chance.
09:38You are the one who threw it away.
09:42Throw the body into the septic tank.
09:47I watched Susan's body get dumped into the tank.
09:50Then she looked at me like she had won and walked into the courthouse with Derek.
09:54The trial officially began.
09:55The judge started reading the basic facts.
10:00The defendant, Damien Hayes, stabbed the victim, Susan Monroe, after a conflict during a thief.
10:05The stabbing caused Susan Monroe's death.
10:08Tessa's face went blank.
10:10Susan Monroe, the judge said.
10:12She blooded it out before she could stop herself.
10:15There has to be a mistake.
10:17How could that be Susan Monroe?
10:18No mistake.
10:21The victim is your mother, Susan Monroe.
10:31Tessa's face frozen.
10:32She asked the judge to see the case file.
10:35And there it was.
10:36The victim was her mother.
10:37She forced out a smile that looked worse than crying.
10:40My mom is fine.
10:42She was fine.
10:43How could she be dead?
10:46Her hand shook as she called Susan.
10:48Then a phone rang, from the evidence table.
10:50It was Susan's phone.
10:51Even the ringtone was the one Tessa had picked for her.
10:53Tears rushed into her eyes.
10:55She turned to me and screamed.
10:56How did you bribe this many people to lie to me?
10:58Just days ago she was talking about bringing me homemade sausage.
11:01How could she be dead?
11:02I'm not that powerful.
11:04I looked at her from across the courtroom.
11:06My eyes were cold.
11:08And false accusations come with legal consequences.
11:11We're in court, counselor.
11:12You should be careful what you say.
11:15I had told her the truth more than once.
11:17She was the one who refused to believe it.
11:20Tessa broke down.
11:25Ryan!
11:26You knew it was my mother and you still didn't tell me!
11:29You did that on purpose, didn't you?
11:31How can you be this cruel?
11:32She tried to rush me and claw at me.
11:34I looked at her.
11:35She was beyond saving.
11:37Even now, she still thought this was my fault.
11:39Court officers dragged her back to her seat.
11:42At that point, there was no way she could keep acting as defense counsel.
11:45This was a murder case, and Tessa and I had been fighting publicly, so a lot of relatives
11:50had shown up for the hearing.
11:51Didn't Tessa say the dead woman was her husband's mother?
11:54So it was her own mom?
11:56Now they were finally starting to piece it together.
11:58They whispered to each other in disbelief.
12:00Whose mother it was doesn't even matter.
12:03Defending a killer like this is wrong either way.
12:06I heard he stabbed her 20 times.
12:10How can that girl not know right from wrong anymore?
12:12The way they looked at Tessa completely changed.
12:15It was all contempt.
12:16Tessa was so ashamed she could barely stand it.
12:19And then she remembered what she had done.
12:21She had thrown her own mother's body into a septic tank.
12:26Regret hit her all at once.
12:29She panicked and demanded people pull the body out.
12:32Then she left early.
12:35But Derek stayed.
12:36When Tessa learned the truth, he wasn't surprised at all.
12:40The second she left, he took over the defense for his brother.
12:43Then Derek pulled out the forgiveness letter Tessa had written.
12:46He looked at me like he had already won.
12:49Like even after Tessa knew the truth, he could still get his brother found not guilty.
12:54That meant one thing.
12:56Derek had known from the start who his brother killed.
12:59What he wanted was Tessa's forgiveness letter.
13:02And because he knew I cared about Susan,
13:04he tortured her body to get back at me for trying to fire him from the law firm.
13:07Tessa, this is the man you chose.
13:10Vile to the core.
13:12But I came prepared.
13:14I also submitted evidence that made Tessa's letter invalid.
13:17It was the recording from that day.
13:20The one where Tessa brought Derek to force me to sign.
13:23Derek pulled out a psychiatric diagnosis from a top hospital.
13:27Then he kept talking.
13:28But it all came down to one thing.
13:30He was trying to use an insanity defense to get his killer brother off.
13:36My brother had a mental disorder.
13:39As far as I knew, this had been Tessa's backup plan.
13:42After all these years as a lawyer,
13:44she had plenty of tricks for helping guilty people walk.
13:46She was just using them for the wrong side.
13:49What she forgot was I used to be a damn good lawyer too.
13:52I understood every one of these moves.
13:54I only gave up my own career to push hers forward
13:56and handle everything else so she had nothing to worry about.
14:04And I had connections too.
14:06So getting proof that Tessa had faked that psychiatric diagnosis was not hard.
14:10From the second Tessa decided to defend Derek's brother,
14:14I had people watching them.
14:15I submitted the evidence.
14:17How do you even have this?
14:18Tessa said this plan was foolproof.
14:20If you don't want people finding out, don't do it.
14:22A murderer belongs behind bars.
14:25In the end, Derek's brother was convicted.
14:28He stabbed Susan 20 times and avoided the vital organs on purpose.
14:32That was an especially brutal killing.
14:35His brother was sentenced to life in prison.
14:39When we came out of the courthouse,
14:41Tessa was back from trying to recover her mother's body.
14:44The smell on her was so bad, people covered their noses.
14:48Tessa didn't notice the looks.
14:50Derek, you pushed me into this.
14:51You're the reason I dumped my mother's body into a septic tank.
14:54I'm not letting this go.
14:55And you knew from the start that the dead woman was my mother, didn't you?
14:57Otherwise, why did you keep stopping me from reading the full case file?
15:00And your brother, he didn't just kill my mom.
15:01He also did those things to her body.
15:03He is never getting out of prison.
15:04Tessa was screaming so hard, she was shaking.
15:07Tears and snot ran down her face.
15:10She looked completely wrecked.
15:13Derek shoved Tessa away with open disgust.
15:17You were the one who said your plan would get my brother off.
15:20So why did he end up with life?
15:23Tessa froze for a second.
15:25Then she burst out laughing.
15:26Life in prison is still too good for him.
15:29He should have gotten the death penalty.
15:31Write another forgiveness letter for my brother.
15:33It was when not letting him sit in prison.
15:35You said it yourself.
15:36He just went off to college.
15:38His life is just starting.
15:39It can't be ruined like this.
15:40That was because you misled me.
15:43I only did all that because I thought the dead woman was Ryan's mother.
15:46After she shouted that, she looked at me.
15:48Then guilt flashed across her face.
15:50I let out a mocking laugh.
15:51I had no interest in watching the two of them tear each other apart.
15:55Once I got in the car, Quinn turned from the passenger seat and smiled at me.
15:59So, total win?
16:02Quinn was also a lawyer at Tessa's firm.
16:04She'd been pushed around for a long time because she couldn't stand how Tessa twisted
16:07the truth and helped monsters walk free.
16:09Quinn had already been planning to quit.
16:11Then all of this happened.
16:12I needed someone inside the firm to keep an eye on Tessa and Derek.
16:15Quinn figured out what I wanted and offered to help.
16:17But she had one condition.
16:19I couldn't stop her from exposing everything Tessa had done.
16:22She wanted Tessa ruined.
16:23At first, I still wanted to leave Tessa some dignity.
16:25Then she did all that.
16:26I was done, so I agreed, but I still didn't feel happy.
16:29It's about Susan, isn't it?
16:32Don't blame yourself too much.
16:34You tried to stop it.
16:36When I got home, I shipped out all the things I had already packed up for Tessa.
16:39She called me.
16:40I didn't answer.
16:41Then she texted me.
16:42She said she wanted to give Susan a proper funeral and hoped I would come.
16:45I went.
16:45I went there for Susan.
16:47Tessa held a huge funeral.
16:48The second she saw me, she walked straight toward me like she wanted to say something.
16:52I spoke first.
16:53Can you sign the divorce papers now?
16:54You really want to divorce me?
16:56I almost found that funny.
16:59Did she really think there was still any chance for us?
17:02Ryan, can we not do this?
17:03I was fooled by Derek.
17:04That bastard lied to me.
17:06All those clothes and jewelry your mom bought for my mom, he always told me he bought them.
17:10I only have my mom, and I just want to protect her memory.
17:14That's why I did those things.
17:15Please forgive me.
17:17That only made it more ridiculous.
17:19Derek was never even good at lying.
17:21He came from an ordinary family.
17:24He made three grand a month.
17:25How was he supposed to buy gifts worth hundreds of thousands?
17:30Even if you were fooled, you wanted to be fooled.
17:32Deep down, you already had a problem with my mom.
17:35I just don't understand why.
17:45Why?
17:46Because she looked down on me?
17:47She never thought I was good enough for you.
17:49She never wanted us together, right?
17:51My mom was sharp.
17:53Back then, she told me Tessa was too sensitive and too fragile.
17:56She said that kind of mind could lead someone to do things they could never take back.
18:00And even if my mom didn't want us married at first, she treated you more than well after
18:04we got married.
18:05When you wanted to start your law firm, she used her connections to send powerful clients
18:09your way.
18:09She introduced you to people who mattered.
18:11She helped build your name.
18:13The only reason you became a star attorney this fast was because my mom helped you.
18:18That's not true.
18:19I became a top lawyer because I'm good at what I do.
18:23I earned that on my own.
18:25Sure, you're talented.
18:27But talent alone doesn't land you a jewelry mogul as a client right after you start working.
18:33You couldn't have done that.
18:35You wouldn't have even gotten in the room.
18:38What I said was harsh.
18:39It was also true.
18:41And this time, Tessa had nothing to say.
18:43My mom's quiet help had pushed her far past the level her real experience could carry.
18:50That was why she lost herself so fast.
18:52Ryan, I'm sorry.
18:56You never told me.
18:57I know I shouldn't have been so blindly confident.
19:01But I wanted so badly to prove myself.
19:04That doesn't matter now.
19:05Sign the divorce papers.
19:06I won't sign.
19:08You still love me.
19:10Don't you?
19:11What gave you that idea?
19:13You think I still have feelings for someone who hurt me and hurt my mother like that?
19:17But you still helped get justice for my mom in court, didn't you?
19:20That was your mother.
19:20She deserved justice.
19:21And every person who came to this funeral came for her, not for you.
19:24Tessa, do you really think you can do all those vile things and walk away with no price to pay?
19:27I sued you too.
19:28For desecrating a corpse.
19:29For violating legal ethics.
19:31For giving false evidence.
19:32You can't do this to me.
19:36Why not?
19:36In the end, she agreed to sign.
19:43Once I had the papers, I lit incense for Susan and left.
19:57Tessa refused to give up.
19:59Every day, she either sent flowers or had gifts delivered.
20:07Whatever you decide, I'll support you.
20:09I just want you to be happy.
20:13She had always been that kind of person.
20:21I'm not forgiving Tessa.
20:23What she did doesn't deserve forgiveness.
20:25A failed marriage doesn't define your whole life.
20:29And don't blame yourself too much.
20:32My son already did more than enough.
20:38I didn't expect this.
20:40But before Tessa's case even went to trial, Derek sued her too.
20:46He had been Tessa's intern.
20:49Back when Tessa covered for him and cleaned up his messes, she had helped create a lot of false evidence.
20:56Now he brought it all to light.
20:59He also had plenty of dirt on the other lawyers at the firm.
21:02No one pitied her.
21:03Everyone thought she had it coming.
21:04Derek dumped everything online too.
21:06Then, he smeared Susan's name and claimed she was mentally unstable and had come on to his brother.
21:11He said his brother snapped from humiliation and killed her in the heat of the moment.
21:16He was obviously still making one last push to get his brother's sentence reduced.
21:21If the dead woman had really been my mom, that smear would have landed on her instead.
21:25That had been one of Tessa's backup plans too.
21:27Now Derek was using all of it on her.
21:30Tessa already hated Derek for what he and his brother did and his brother to her mother's body.
21:34Now this pushed her completely over the edge.
21:36She stormed off to confront him.
21:38And somehow, she killed him.
21:40She stabbed him 20 times.
21:42Exactly 20.
21:43But she used a meat cleaver.
21:44So Derek's body was hacked to pieces.
21:4720 stab wounds.
21:50How is that a crime of passion?
21:59Tessa went to prison too.
22:00I took over her law firm.
22:02That also meant Quinn no longer had to quit.
22:04As for the other lawyers, I replaced almost all of them.
22:07They had thrown away their ethics too.
22:09All to prop up Tessa and Derek.
22:11A lot of people get trapped with no way to speak up because of lawyers with no ethics.
22:15So I launched a legal aid program that charged clients nothing.
22:19I wanted more people like Damien to actually face justice.
22:22The work was free for the clients.
22:24I paid the firm's lawyers out of my own pocket.
22:26No one pushed back.
22:28Quinn frowned at me.
22:30What do you take me for?
22:31This matters.
22:33I want to do it.
22:35What about everyone else?
22:37If you refuse payment, they'll feel weird taking it.
22:40Doing good still has to pay the bills, right?
22:43You're still the same.
22:44My chest tightened.
22:46I looked away.
22:47I could tell Quinn liked me.
22:50But after everything, I wasn't ready to think about love again.
22:53Not yet.
22:54I had been out of law for years.
22:56I was rusty.
22:58But Quinn never got tired of helping me.
23:00She walked me through cases.
23:04Slowly, I stopped fighting it.
23:06I told myself I'd let things happen when they happened.
23:10Less than a year later, Tessa died in prison.
23:13I heard one of the people she had wrongfully put away killed her.
23:16That ending did not surprise me.
23:18If she had any humanity left at all, maybe her life would not have ended there.
23:23Do you think your mom would like this?
23:25Maybe we should bring more gifts.
23:28I know that after cremation, you'd give money on a burial plot.
23:34You don't have to overthink it.
23:35She'll like anything you bring.
23:37Because my mom had always believed the same thing.
23:40The thought was what mattered.
23:42If it came from the heart, it was enough.
23:46No way.
23:47This is my first time meeting her.
23:48I need to make a good impression.
23:52Quinn and I had started dating.
23:54I was taking her home for dinner.
23:56I had a feeling my mom would like her.
23:58And I was right.
23:59The second my mom met Quinn, she took her hand and started telling her story after story about me.
24:06Quinn loved every second of it.
24:08She listened.
24:10She laughed.
24:11She gave my mom all the warmth in the world.
24:13I thought you'd never open your heart again.
24:15I've always believed people have to keep moving forward.
24:17So I'm glad you figured that out.
24:19Quinn is a good woman.
24:19Don't you dare mess this up.
24:20I know.
24:21I'll be good to her.
24:22Mom was right.
24:22People have to move forward.
24:23Everything behind me was finally over.
24:25That chapter was closed for good.
