06:31y spoke con pura malas.
06:33Ryan, esto es lo que pasa cuando
06:35insistes en hacer cosas tu forma.
06:38Si te vas a ir a las courtes de hoy,
06:40no te verás de tu madre de nuevo.
06:42Derek le preguntó a la pig
06:43dentro de la casca.
06:44No, no es exactamente como tu madre.
06:48Tessa y yo se han pasado mucho
06:49para encontrar un perfecto replacimiento.
06:52Y te voy a dar tu madre de nuevo
06:54cuando mi hermano es encontrado no culpable.
06:56No pensé que Tessa y Derek
06:57pudiera caer esto tan bajo.
06:58Ellos estaban haciendo todo lo que pudiera
07:00para que me de ir a la escuela.
07:01They still thought the dead woman
07:02was my mother.
07:03As immediate family,
07:04if I refuse forgiveness,
07:06Tessa's letter meant nothing.
07:07I punched Derek in the face.
07:09You piece of shit!
07:11Tessa screamed and jumped in front of him.
07:14Ryan, do you want me to send you to prison too?
07:17The ones who belong in prison
07:18are you two!
07:20Did you forget I'm a lawyer?
07:22I won't be the one ending up in prison.
07:23You can't threaten me.
07:25You better get this straight.
07:26Do you want to appear in court
07:27or do you want your mother's body?
07:28Tessa, has it ever crossed your mind
07:30that this isn't my mother's body?
07:32It's your mother's.
07:34Tessa didn't buy it.
07:36My mom was decent and out honest.
07:40There's no way a good college kid
07:42would stab her.
07:43Then she pulled out her phone
07:44and face-toomed someone.
07:45With one word from me,
07:47your mother's body
07:48will rot with maggots.
07:49On the screen,
07:50Susan's body was being dragged
07:52toward a septic tank.
07:53As they pulled her,
07:55an old burn scar showed on her forearm.
07:58Susan once told me about that scar.
08:00When Tessa was little,
08:01she knocked over a kettle of boiling water.
08:04Susan threw herself in front of her
08:05and got burned.
08:06Later,
08:07she lied and called it a birthmark
08:09so Tessa would not feel bad about it.
08:12Derek's eyes narrowed.
08:13He pointed at the scar before I could speak.
08:16Tessa,
08:17Ryan's mom really is insane.
08:19It wasn't enough for her to dress like your mom.
08:21Now she had to copy her birthmark too?
08:24For a second,
08:25Tessa looked unsure.
08:26Then her face turned to pure disgust.
08:29My mom has a birthmark.
08:30His mom probably burned her off to fake it.
08:32That is so pathetic.
08:34Ryan,
08:35I didn't know your mom was this sick.
08:37And my mom always said
08:38your mom was a good person.
08:39That was a lie.
08:40My mom was never copying Susan.
08:43She knew Susan had a hard life.
08:44Whenever she bought clothes or jewelry,
08:46she bought Susan the same set.
08:48Susan was grateful for that.
08:50That was why she had always been good to me.
08:52My chest taped me.
08:53But I still tried to stop Tessa.
08:55She really is your mother.
08:57And that is not a birthmark.
08:59She got that burn protecting you.
09:02This dead woman having the same mark as your mom
09:05is bad luck.
09:07Why not cut it off?
09:08Then he grabbed the phone
09:09and told the people on the other end to do it.
09:11I lunged for the phone.
09:13Tina swung her purse straight into my face.
09:16I think Derek's right.
09:18You are not going to bully him again.
09:20You are not going to bully him again.
09:23On the screen,
09:23they were already cutting into Susan's arm
09:25and making it even worse.
09:30Tessa,
09:31do you have any humanity left?
09:33You're the one with no humanity.
09:34You're the one trying,
09:35trying to send Derek's brother to prison.
09:39I gave you a chance.
09:41You'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.
09:52Then she looked at me like she had won
09:54and walked into the courthouse with Derek.
09:56The trial officially began.
09:58The judge started reading the basic facts.
10:03The defendant, Damien Hayes,
10:05stabbed the victim, Susan Monroe,
10:06after a conflict during a thief.
10:08The stabbing caused Susan Monroe's death.
10:10Tessa's face went blank.
10:12Susan Monroe,
10:13the judge said.
10:15She blooded it out before she could stop herself.
10:18There has to be a mistake.
10:19How could that be Susan Monroe?
10:22No mistake.
10:24The victim
10:25is your mother,
10:27Susan Monroe.
10:33Tessa's face frozen.
10:35She asked the judge to see the case file.
10:37And there it was.
10:38The victim was her mother.
10:40She forced out a smile
10:41that looked worse than crying.
10:43My mom is fine.
10:44She was fine.
10:45How could she be dead?
10:48Her hand shook as she called Susan.
10:51Then a phone rang
10:51from the evidence table.
10:53It was Susan's phone.
10:54Even the ringtone
10:54was the one Tessa had picked for her.
10:56Tears rushed into her eyes.
10:57She turned to me and screamed.
10:59How did you bribe this many people
11:00to lie to me?
11:01Just days ago,
11:01she was talking about
11:02bringing me homemade sausage.
11:03How could she be dead?
11:04I'm not that powerful.
11:06I looked at her
11:07from across the courtroom.
11:09My eyes were cold.
11:10And false accusations
11:12come with legal consequences.
11:13We're in court, counselor.
11:15You should be careful
11:16what you say.
11:17I had told her the truth
11:18more than once.
11:20She was the one
11:20who refused to believe it.
11:23Tessa broke down.
11:28Ryan, you knew it was my mother
11:30and you still didn't tell me.
11:31You did that on purpose,
11:33didn't you?
11:33How can you be this cruel?
11:35She tried to rush me
11:36and claw at me.
11:37I looked at her.
11:38She was beyond saving.
11:39Even now,
11:40she still thought
11:41this was my fault.
11:42Court officers dragged her
11:43back to her seat.
11:44At that point,
11:45there was no way
11:46she could keep acting
11:47as defense counsel.
11:48This was a murder case
11:49and Tessa and I
11:50had been fighting publicly.
11:51So a lot of relatives
11:52had shown up for the hearing.
11:54Didn't Tessa say
11:55the dead woman
11:55was her husband's mother?
11:57So it was her own mom?
11:58Now they were finally
11:59starting to piece it together.
12:01They whispered to each other
12:02in disbelief.
12:03Whose mother it was
12:04doesn't even matter.
12:06Defending a killer like this
12:07is wrong either way.
12:09I heard he stabbed her
12:1020 times.
12:12How can that girl
12:13not know right from wrong anymore?
12:15The way they looked
12:16at Tessa completely changed.
12:17It was all contempt.
12:19Tessa was so ashamed
12:20she could barely stand it.
12:21And then she remembered
12:22what she had done.
12:24She had thrown
12:25her own mother's body
12:26into a septic tank.
12:29Regret
12:30hit her all at once.
12:31She panicked
12:32and demanded people
12:33pull the body out.
12:34Then she left early.
12:38But Derek stayed.
12:39When Tessa learned the truth,
12:41he wasn't surprised at all.
12:42The second she left,
12:44he took over the defense
12:45for his brother.
12:46Then Derek pulled out
12:47the forgiveness letter
12:48Tessa had written.
12:49He looked at me
12:50like he had already won.
12:52Like even after Tessa
12:53knew the truth,
12:54he could still get
12:55his brother found
12:56not guilty.
12:57That meant one thing.
12:59Derek had known
13:00from the start
13:00who his brother killed.
13:02What he wanted
13:03was Tessa's forgiveness letter.
13:04And because he knew
13:05I cared about Susan,
13:06he tortured her body
13:08to get back at me
13:08for trying to fire him
13:09from the law firm.
13:10Tessa,
13:11this is the man you chose.
13:13Vile to the core.
13:14But I came prepared.
13:17I also submitted evidence
13:18that made Tessa's letter
13:20invalid.
13:20It was the recording
13:22from that day.
13:23The one where Tessa
13:24brought Derek
13:25to force me to sign.
13:26Derek pulled out
13:27a psychiatric diagnosis
13:28from a top hospital.
13:30Then he kept talking.
13:31But it all came down
13:32to one thing.
13:33He was trying to use
13:35an insanity defense
13:36to get his killer brother off.
13:39My brother had
13:40a mental disorder.
13:41As far as I knew,
13:43this had been
13:44Tessa's backup plan.
13:45After all these years
13:46as a lawyer,
13:47she had plenty of tricks
13:48for helping guilty people walk.
13:50She was just using them
13:51for the wrong side.
13:52What she forgot
13:53was I used to be
13:53a damn good lawyer too.
13:55I understood
13:55every one of these moves.
13:57I only gave up
13:58my own career
13:58to push hers forward
13:59and handle everything else
14:01so she had nothing
14:02to worry about.
14:07And I had connections too.
14:09So getting proof
14:10that Tessa had faked
14:11that psychiatric diagnosis
14:12was not hard.
14:13From the second
14:14Tessa decided
14:15to defend Derek's brother,
14:17I had people watching them.
14:18I submitted the evidence.
14:20How do you even have this?
14:21Tessa said this plan
14:22was foolproof.
14:23If you don't want
14:24people finding out,
14:25don't do it.
14:26A murderer belongs
14:27behind bars.
14:28In the end,
14:29Derek's brother
14:30was convicted.
14:31He stabbed Susan
14:3220 times
14:33and avoided
14:33the vital organs
14:34on purpose.
14:35That was an
14:36especially brutal killing.
14:38His brother
14:38was sentenced
14:39to life in prison.
14:42When we came out
14:43of the courthouse,
14:44Tessa was back
14:45from trying to recover
14:45her mother's body.
14:47The smell on her
14:48was so bad
14:48people covered
14:49their noses.
14:51Tessa didn't notice
14:51the looks.
14:52Derek,
14:53you pushed me into this.
14:54You're the reason
14:55I dumped my mother's body
14:56into a septic tank.
14:57I'm not letting this go.
14:58And you knew from the start
14:59that the dead woman
14:59was my mother,
15:00didn't you?
15:00Otherwise,
15:01why did you keep
15:01stopping me from reading
15:02the full case file?
15:02And your brother,
15:03he didn't just kill my mom.
15:04He also did those things
15:06to her body.
15:06He is never getting
15:07out of prison.
15:08Tessa was screaming
15:08so hard she was shaking.
15:10Tears and snot
15:11ran down her face.
15:13She looked completely wrecked.
15:16Derek shoved Tessa away
15:18with open disgust.
15:20You were the one
15:21who said your plan
15:22would get my brother off.
15:23So why did he end up
15:24with life?
15:26Tessa froze for a second.
15:28Then she burst out laughing.
15:29Life in prison
15:30is still too good for him.
15:32He should have gotten
15:33the death penalty.
15:34Write another forgiveness
15:35letter for my brother.
15:36was when not letting
15:37him sit in prison.
15:38You said it yourself.
15:39He just went off
15:40to college.
15:41His life is just starting.
15:42It can't be ruined
15:43like this.
15:43That was because
15:44you misled me.
15:46I only did all that
15:47because I thought
15:47the dead woman
15:48was Ryan's mother.
15:49After she shouted that,
15:50she looked at me.
15:51Then guilt flashed
15:52across her face.
15:53I let out a mocking laugh.
15:54I had no interest
15:55in watching the two of them
15:56tear each other apart.
15:58Once I got in the car,
16:00Quinn turned
16:00from the passenger seat
16:01and smiled at me.
16:03So,
16:03total win?
16:04Quinn was also
16:05a lawyer at Tessa's firm.
16:07She'd been pushed around
16:08for a long time
16:08because she couldn't stand
16:09how Tessa twisted the truth
16:11and helped monsters walk free.
16:12Quinn had already
16:13been planning to quit.
16:14Then all of this happened.
16:15I needed someone
16:16inside the firm
16:16to keep an eye
16:17on Tessa and Derek.
16:18Quinn figured out
16:19what I wanted
16:20and offered to help.
16:20But she had one condition.
16:22I couldn't stop her
16:23from exposing
16:23everything Tessa had done.
16:25She wanted Tessa ruined.
16:26At first,
16:27I still wanted to leave
16:27Tessa some dignity.
16:28Then she did all that.
16:29I was done.
16:30So I agreed.
16:31But I still didn't feel happy.
16:32It's about Susan,
16:33isn't it?
16:35Don't blame yourself too much.
16:37You tried to stop it.
16:39When I got home,
16:39I shipped out all the things
16:40I had already packed up
16:41for Tessa.
16:42She called me.
16:43I didn't answer.
16:44Then she texted me.
16:45She said she wanted
16:45to give Susan
16:46a proper funeral
16:47and hoped I would come.
16:48I went.
16:48I went there for Susan.
16:50Tessa held a huge funeral.
16:51The second she saw me,
16:52she walked straight toward me
16:53like she wanted
16:54to say something.
16:55I spoke first.
16:56Can you sign
16:56the divorce papers now?
16:57You really want
16:58to divorce me?
16:59I almost found
17:00that funny.
17:02Did she really think
17:03there was still
17:03any chance for us?
17:05Ryan,
17:05can we not do this?
17:06I was fooled by Derek.
17:07That bastard lied to me.
17:09All those clothes
17:10and jewelry
17:10your mom bought
17:11for my mom,
17:11he always told me
17:12he bought them.
17:13I only have my mom
17:15and I just want
17:15to protect her memory.
17:17That's why I did
17:18those things.
17:18Please forgive me.
17:20That only made
17:21it more ridiculous.
17:22Derek was never
17:23even good at lying.
17:25He came from
17:25an ordinary family.
17:27He made three grand
17:28a month.
17:28How was he supposed
17:29to buy gifts
17:30worth hundreds
17:30of thousands?
17:33Even if you were fooled,
17:34you wanted to be fooled.
17:35Deep down,
17:36you already had
17:37a problem with my mom.
17:38I just don't understand why.
17:48Why?
17:49Because she looked
17:49down on me?
17:50She never thought
17:51I was good enough for you.
17:52She never wanted
17:53us together, right?
17:54My mom was sharp.
17:56Back then,
17:57she told me Tessa
17:57was too sensitive
17:58and too fragile.
17:59She said that kind
18:00of mind could lead
18:01someone to do things
18:02they could never
18:02take back.
18:03And even if my mom
18:04didn't want us married
18:05at first,
18:06she treated you
18:07more than well
18:07after we got married.
18:08When you wanted
18:09to start your law firm,
18:10she used her connections
18:11to send powerful
18:12clients your way.
18:13She introduced you
18:13to people who mattered.
18:15She helped build
18:15your name.
18:16The only reason
18:17you became a star
18:18attorney this fast
18:18was because my mom
18:19helped you.
18:21That's not true.
18:23I became a top lawyer
18:24because I'm good
18:25at what I do.
18:26I earned that
18:27on my own.
18:28Sure,
18:29you're talented.
18:30But talent alone
18:32doesn't land you
18:32a jewelry mogul
18:33as a client
18:34right after you
18:35start working.
18:36You couldn't
18:37have done that.
18:38You wouldn't
18:38have even gotten
18:39in the room.
18:41What I said
18:42was harsh.
18:43It was also true.
18:44And this time,
18:45Tessa had nothing
18:46to say.
18:47My mom's quiet
18:48help had pushed
18:49her far past
18:50the level
18:50her real experience
18:52could carry.
18:53That was why
18:54she lost herself
18:55so fast.
18:55Ryan,
18:56I'm sorry.
18:59You never told me.
19:00I know I shouldn't
19:01have been so
19:02blindly confident.
19:04But I wanted
19:05so badly
19:06to prove myself.
19:07That doesn't matter
19:08now.
19:08Sign the divorce papers.
19:10I won't sign.
19:11You still love me.
19:13Don't you?
19:14What gave you
19:15that idea?
19:16You think I still
19:17have feelings
19:18for someone
19:18who hurt me
19:19and hurt my mother
19:20like that?
19:20But you still
19:21helped get justice
19:21for my mom
19:22in court,
19:22didn't you?
19:23That was your mother.
19:24She deserved justice.
19:24And every person
19:25who came to this funeral
19:26came for her,
19:27not for you.
19:27Tessa,
19:27do you really think
19:28you can do all
19:28those vile things
19:29and walk away
19:30with no price to pay?
19:30I sued you too
19:31for desecrating a corpse,
19:33for violating legal ethics,
19:34for giving false evidence.
19:36You can't do this to me.
19:39Why not?
19:40In the end,
19:41she agreed to sign.
19:46Once I had the papers,
19:48I lit incense
19:49for Susan
19:51and left.
20:00Tessa refused to give up.
20:03Every day,
20:04she either sent flowers
20:05or had gifts delivered.
20:10Whatever you decide,
20:12I'll support you.
20:13I just want you
20:14to be happy.
20:16She had always been
20:17that kind of person.
20:24I'm not forgiving Tessa.
20:26What she did
20:27doesn't deserve forgiveness.
20:28A failed marriage
20:29doesn't define
20:30your whole life.
20:32And don't blame yourself
20:34too much.
20:35My son already
20:36did more than enough.
20:42I didn't expect this.
20:44But before Tessa's case
20:45even went to trial,
20:47Derek sued her too.
20:49He had been Tessa's intern.
20:53Back when Tessa covered for him
20:54and cleaned up his messes,
20:56she had helped create
20:57a lot of false evidence.
20:59Now he brought it all to light.
21:02He also had plenty of dirt
21:03on the other lawyers
21:04at the firm.
21:05No one pitied her.
21:06Everyone thought
21:07she had it coming.
21:08Derek dumped everything
21:08online too.
21:10Then,
21:10he smeared Susan's name
21:11and claimed she was
21:12mentally unstable
21:13and had come on
21:14to his brother.
21:14He said his brother
21:16snapped from humiliation
21:17and killed her
21:18in the heat of the moment.
21:19He was obviously
21:20still making
21:21one last push
21:22to get his brother's
21:23sentence reduced.
21:24If the dead woman
21:25had really been my mom,
21:26that smear would have
21:27landed on her instead.
21:29That had been one
21:29of Tessa's backup plans too.
21:31Now Derek was using
21:32all of it on her.
21:34Tessa already hated Derek
21:35for what he and his brother
21:36did and his brother
21:37to her mother's body.
21:38Now this pushed her
21:38completely over the edge.
21:40She stormed off
21:40to confront him
21:41and somehow,
21:42she killed him.
21:43She stabbed him
21:4420 times.
21:45Exactly 20.
21:46But she used a meat cleaver
21:47so Derek's body
21:49was hacked to pieces.
21:5020 stab wounds.
21:53How is that
21:54a crime of passion?
22:02Tessa went to prison too.
22:04I took over her law firm.
22:05That also meant
22:06Quinn no longer
22:07had to quit.
22:08As for the other lawyers,
22:09I replaced almost all of them.
22:11They had thrown away
22:12their ethics too.
22:13All to prop up
22:14Tessa and Derek.
22:14A lot of people
22:15get trapped
22:16with no way to speak up
22:17because of lawyers
22:18with no ethics.
22:19So I launched
22:19a legal aid program
22:20that charged clients
22:22nothing.
22:22I wanted more people
22:23like Damien
22:24to actually face justice.
22:25The work was free
22:26for the clients.
22:27I paid the firm's lawyers
22:28out of my own pocket.
22:30No one pushed back.
22:31Quinn frowned at me.
22:33What do you take me for?
22:35This matters.
22:36I want to do it.
22:38What about everyone else?
22:40If you refuse payment,
22:42they'll feel weird
22:42taking it.
22:43Doing good still
22:44has to pay the bills.
22:45Right?
22:46You're still the same.
22:48My chest tightened.
22:49I looked away.
22:51I could tell
22:52Quinn liked me.
22:53But after everything,
22:55I wasn't ready
22:55to think about love again.
22:57Not yet.
22:58I had been out of law
22:59for years.
23:00I was rusty.
23:01But Quinn never got tired
23:03of helping me.
23:04She walked me through cases.
23:07Slowly,
23:08I stopped fighting it.
23:10I told myself
23:11I'd let things happen
23:12when they happened.
23:13Less than a year later,
23:15Tessa died in prison.
23:16I heard one of the people
23:17she had wrongfully put away
23:19killed her.
23:19That ending
23:20did not surprise me.
23:22If she had any humanity
23:23left at all,
23:24maybe her life
23:25would not have ended there.
23:26Do you think your mom
23:27would like this?
23:28Maybe we should bring
23:29more gifts.
23:32I know after cremation
23:33you give money
23:33on a burial plot.
23:37You don't have to
23:38overthink it.
23:39She'll like anything you bring.
23:40Because my mom
23:41had always believed
23:42the same thing.
23:44The thought
23:44was what mattered.
23:45If it came from the heart,
23:47it was enough.
23:49No way.
23:50This is my first time
23:51meeting her.
23:51I need to make
23:52a good impression.
23:56Quinn and I
23:56had started dating.
23:57I was taking her home
23:58for dinner.
23:59I had a feeling
24:00my mom would like her.
24:02And I was right.
24:03The second my mom
24:04met Quinn,
24:05she took her hand
24:06and started telling her
24:07story after story
24:08about me.
24:09Quinn loved
24:10every second of it.
24:12She listened.
24:13She laughed.
24:14She gave my mom
24:15all the warmth
24:16in the world.
24:17I thought you'd never
24:18open your heart again.
24:19I've always believed
24:19people have to keep
24:20moving forward.
24:21So I'm glad you figured
24:22that out.
24:22Quinn is a good woman.
24:23Don't you dare
24:23mess this up.
24:24I know.
24:24I'll be good to her.
24:25Mom was right.
24:26People have to move forward.
24:27Everything behind me
24:28was finally over.
24:29That chapter was
24:29closed for good.
24:32We'll be right back.
