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