My Wife, The Killer's Attorney Ep 2026 💕 💕 💕

Short filmTranscript
00:00On Christmas, an old woman was stabbed 20 times. She died. My wife is a top attorney. She's
00:05defending the killer in court. He's just a college kid. Can't you be a little more forgiving?
00:11Drop the case. Stop trying to ruin a young man's life over your dead mother. I looked at the body
00:16on the slab, carved up beyond recognition. I laughed because my arrogant wife didn't know.
00:20The woman who got stabbed to death wasn't my mother. It was hers. My mom was supposed to
00:24spend Christmas with us. We'd already made the plan, but this morning she said she wasn't feeling
00:28well and called to cancel. Then, by pure coincidence, I ran into my wife Tessa's mom,
00:32Susan Monroe, at the grocery store. So I invited her over to have Christmas dinner with us. Tessa
00:36was busy all day. She knew nothing about all this. And now, I had just brought the body to the
00:40funeral
00:40home when Tessa showed up with Derek and his brother. Damien, Derek looked at the memorial
00:44setup and frowned. Ryan, just because Tessa makes money doesn't mean you should waste it on a dead
00:49person. Damien walked up and spat on the body. You think you deserve this, old woman? I rushed at
00:55him, but Tessa shoved me away and pulled both of them behind her. They're just telling the truth.
00:59Your mom is already dead. Why waste money on her now? I stared at Tessa in shock. I couldn't believe
01:05what I was hearing. Ever since her mom was killed, Tessa hadn't shown one bit of concern. When I sued
01:09Damien for murder, she even said she would defend him and get him cleared. She also pulled strings and
01:14spent a lot of money to get Damien released on bail. I thought Derek had talked her into this madness.
01:18I didn't realize she thought the victim was my mother. Ryan, go get a refund. This setup must have cost
01:24a
01:24fortune, right? Your mom was always after Tessa's money when she was alive. Now you are too? What
01:29else would it be? Like mother, like son. A woman as greedy and vicious as your mom deserved to get
01:35stabbed to death. My mom never did anything to you. Stop insulting her. Refund the money. We're not
01:42doing this funeral. As for the body, do whatever you want with it. Tessa, the dead still deserve some
01:47respect. Why not put the body there and keep it simple? After cremation, you can dump the ashes in there
01:52too. Back to nature. You'll even save money on an urn and a burial plot. What do you think, Ryan?
01:58He should be thanking you for being so kind. Then she directly told the staff to move the body
02:03beside the bitch. I tried to stop them, but Tessa had people walking. I looked at my mother-in-law's
02:07body and felt sorry for her. Tessa lost her father when she was young. Susan raised her alone and played
02:13both parents. Even 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. You're not mad, are you, old man?
02:36He didn't mean it. Just get some water and rimp her off. Why 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. What would I regret? I'm not wasting time on this other nonsense.
02:51Write Damien of a forgiveness letter. He's still a college student. He can't lose his whole life over
02:56this. No. Susan only caught Damien stealing from Tessa's house. She tried to stop him. That was all.
03:03And he stabbed her 20 times. He even avoided the vital spots on purpose. He wanted her to suffer.
03:09He wanted her to die slowly. A monster like that had no right to forgiveness. And Tessa,
03:15a lawyer, was defending the man who killed her own mother. If Susan couldn't rest in peace,
03:21this was why. Ryan, I'm not discussing this with you. I'm giving you a chance. I'm a top attorney.
03:29Even in court, I can still get him cleared. I just don't want you losing, embarrassing yourself,
03:34and embarrassing me. Everybody knows you're my husband. If you're that afraid I'll embarrass you,
03:39then let's get divorced. Ryan, you've got a lot of nerve. You're threatening me with divorce over
03:48something this small? Even if he accidentally kicked your mom's body into the ditch, he helped
03:53clean it up after. He knows he was wrong. He deserves forgiveness. I turned and looked. Damien was
04:03grinning while he pissed on Susan's body after they dragged it back out. I stared at Tessa in
04:07shock. Her face looked twisted. Damien was desecrating a corpse. And she called that cleaning
04:14it up. When did she become like this? What happened to the Tessa who had just become a lawyer and
04:19swore to offer justice? It probably started when Derek became her intern. Derek never cared about
04:24evidence. He took cases based on his own gut and made up whatever story he wanted. And Tessa helped
04:29him twist the truth. She helped him send victims to prison. I told Tessa that was wrong. She acted
04:34like she had a noble reason. She said she was only trying to protect a young intern from losing
04:39confidence. I'll send you the divorce papers tomorrow. Ryan, Tessa only spent Christmas with
04:44me because she felt bad for me. I didn't have anyone. If that upset you, I'm sorry. But please
04:49stop using divorce to scare her. What if she takes it seriously? Ryan, you are completely unreasonable.
04:55Let me make this clear. Not only am I not divorcing you, I'm signing that forgiveness
04:58letter myself. I'm doing it as your wife. That set Tessa off completely. She immediately
05:02had someone bring her paper and a pen. Right in front of me, she wrote the letter and signed
05:07her name. And I'm not letting you step into that courtroom either. Ryan, you forced me to
05:11do this. After Tessa left, I spent a huge amount of money to have Susan cleaned up again
05:16and had the memorial rebuilt. Then I hired a lawyer to draft divorce papers and called Tessa to
05:22come back and sign them. Derek answered the phone. Ryan, Tessa's busy. She doesn't have
05:32time to talk to you. She said you can forget using divorce to make that forgiveness letter
05:37invalid. Then he deliberately kept the line open. I could hear Tessa getting even louder
05:42on the other end. I forced myself to record it before I hung up in disgust. Since she refused
05:47to sign the divorce papers, I had no choice but to bring this to court. I messaged her.
05:51Then I'll see you in court. On the day of the murder trial, I had just reached the courthouse
05:56when I got a notice that my divorce filing had been rejected. I knew right away that Tessa
06:01was behind it. Then the funeral home called. They said the memorial hadn't been trashed and
06:06someone had taken the body by force. A staff member sent me a video. The second I opened
06:11it, my eyes went red. Susan's body, which should have been in the refrigerated casket,
06:17had been replaced with the carcass of a big fat pig. There were wreaths on both sides with
06:21my mother's name on them. Even the funeral banners had been changed into filthy insults.
06:26Derek showed up late with his arm around Tessa. She glanced at my phone screen and spoke with
06:30pure malice. Ryan, this is what happens when you insist on doing things your way. If you walk
06:36into that courtroom today, you'll never see your mother's body again. Derek pointed at the pig
06:41inside the casket. Look, doesn't it look exactly like your mom? Tessa and I went through a lot to
06:47find such a perfect replacement. You'll get your mother's body back after my brother is found not
06:53guilty. I didn't think Tessa and Derek could sink this low. They were doing everything they could to
06:57stop me from going into court. They still thought the dead woman was my mother. As immediate family,
07:02if I refuse forgiveness, Tessa's letter meant nothing. I punched Derek in the face.
07:07You piece of shit! Tessa screamed and jumped in front of him.
07:11Ryan, do you want me to send you to prison too? The ones who belong in prison are you two!
07:18Did you forget I'm a lawyer? I won't be the one ending up in prison. You can't threaten me.
07:22You better get this straight. Do 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? It's your mother's.
07:32Tessa didn't buy it. My mom was decent and out honest. There's no way a good college kid would
07:40stab her. Then she pulled out her phone and face-toomed someone. With one word from me,
07:44your mother's body will rot with maggots. On the screen, Susan's body was being dragged toward a
07:50septic tank. As they pulled her, an old burn scar showed on her forearm. Susan once told me about that
07:57scar. When Tessa was little, she knocked over a kettle of boiling water. Susan threw herself in
08:03front of her and got burned. Later, she lied and called it a birthmark so Tessa would not feel bad
08:08about it. Derek's eyes narrowed. He pointed at the scar before I could speak. Tessa, Ryan's mom really
08:16is insane. It wasn't enough for her to dress like your mom? Now she had to copy her birthmark too?
08:21For a second, Tessa looked unsure. Then her face turned to pure disgustant. My mom has a birthmark.
08:28His mom probably burned her up to fake it. That is so pathetic. Ryan, I didn't know your mom was
08:33this
08:34sick. And my mom always said your mom was a good person. That was a lie. My mom was never
08:39copying
08:39Susan. She knew Susan had a hard life. Whenever she bought clothes or jewelry, she bought Susan the same
08:45set. Susan was grateful for that. That was why she had always been good to me. My chest tightened,
08:50but I still tried to stop Tessa. She really is your mother. And that is not a birthmark.
08:56She got that burn protecting you. This dead woman having the same mark as your mom
09:02is bad luck. Why not cut it off? Then he grabbed the phone and told the people on the other
09:08end to
09:09do it. I lunged for the phone. Tina swung her purse straight into my face.
09:14I think Derek's right. You are not going to bully him again. You 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? You are the one with no humanity. You are the one trying
09:33to send Derek's brother to prison. I gave you a chance. You 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. Then she looked at me like she had won and walked
09:52into the courthouse with Derek. The trial officially began. The 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. Tessa's face went blank.
10:10Susan Monroe, the judge said. She blooded it out before she could stop herself.
10:15There has to be a mistake. How could that be Susan Monroe?
10:18No. No mistake. The victim is your mother, Susan Monroe.
10:31Tessa's face frozen. She asked the judge to see the case file. And there it was. The victim was
10:37her mother. She forced out a smile that looked worse than crying.
10:40My mom is fine. She was fine. How could she be dead?
10:46Her hand shook as she called Susan. Then a phone rang from the evidence table. It was Susan's phone.
10:51Even the ringtone was the one Tessa had picked for her. Tears rushed into her eyes. She turned to me
10:55and screamed. How did you bribe this many people to lie to me? Just days ago she was talking about
10:59bringing me homemade sausage. How could she be dead? I'm not that powerful. I looked at her from
11:05across the courtroom. My eyes were cold. And false accusations come with legal consequences.
11:11We're in court, counselor. You should be careful what you say. I had told her the truth more than
11:16once. She was the one who refused to believe it. Tessa broke down.
11:25Ryan! You knew it was my mother and you still didn't tell me! You did that on purpose, didn't you?
11:31How can you be this cruel? She tried to rush me and claw at me.
11:34I looked at her. She was beyond saving. Even now, she still thought this was my fault.
11:39Court officers dragged her back to her seat. At that point, there was no way she could keep
11:44acting as defense counsel. This was a murder case, and Tessa and I had been fighting publicly.
11:49So a lot of relatives had shown up for the hearing. Didn't Tessa say the dead woman was
11:53her husband's mother? So it was her own mom? Now they were finally starting to piece it together.
11:58They whispered to each other in disbelief. Whose 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?
12:13The way they looked at Tessa completely changed. It was all contempt. Tessa was so ashamed she could
12:18barely stand it. And then she remembered what she had done. She had thrown her own mother's body
12:24into a septic tank. Regret hit her all at once. She panicked and demanded people pull the body out.
12:32Then she left early.
12:35But Derek stayed. When Tessa learned the truth, he wasn't surprised at all. The second she left,
12:41he took over the defense for his brother. Then Derek pulled out the forgiveness letter Tessa had
12:46written. He looked at me like he had already won. Like even after Tessa knew the truth, he could still
12:52get his brother found not guilty. That meant one thing. Derek had known from the start who his brother
12:59killed. What he wanted was Tessa's forgiveness letter. And 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. Vile to the core. But I came prepared. I also submitted evidence
13:16that made Tessa's letter invalid. It was the recording from that day. The one where Tessa
13:21brought Derek to force me to sign. Derek pulled out a psychiatric diagnosis from a top hospital.
13:27Then he kept talking. But it all came down to one thing. He was trying to use an insanity defense
13:33to get his killer brother off. My brother had a mental disorder. As far as I knew,
13:40this had been Tessa's backup plan. After all these years as a lawyer, she had plenty of tricks for
13:45helping guilty people walk. She was just using them for the wrong side. What she forgot was I used
13:50to be a damn good lawyer too. I understood every one of these moves. I only gave up my own
13:55career to
13:56push hers forward and handle everything else so she had nothing to worry about.
14:04And I had connections too. So getting proof that Tessa had faked that psychiatric diagnosis was
14:10not hard. From the second Tessa decided to defend Derek's brother, I had people watching them. I
14:15submitted the evidence. How do you even have this? Tessa said this plan was foolproof. If you don't
14:21want people finding out, don't do it. A murderer belongs behind bars. In the end, Derek's brother was
14:27convicted. He stabbed Susan 20 times and avoided the vital organs on purpose. That was an especially
14:34brutal killing. His brother was sentenced to life in prison. When we came out of the courthouse,
14:41Tessa was back from trying to recover her mother's body. The smell on her was so bad people covered
14:46their noses. Tessa didn't notice the looks. Derek, you pushed me into this. You're the reason I dumped
14:52my mother's body into a septic tank. I'm not letting this go. And you knew from the start that
14:56the dead woman was my mother, didn't you? Otherwise, why did you keep stopping me from
14:59reading the full case file? And your brother, he didn't just kill my mom. He also did those things
15:03to her body. He is never getting out of prison. Tessa was screaming so hard she was shaking.
15:08Tears and snot ran down her face. She looked completely wrecked. Derek shoved Tessa away with open
15:15disgust. You were the one who said your plan would get my brother off. So why did he end up
15:22with life?
15:23Tessa froze for a second. Then she burst out laughing. Life in prison is still too good for him.
15:29He should have gotten the death penalty. Write another forgiveness letter for my brother.
15:33Was when not letting him sit in prison. You said it yourself. He just went off to college. His life
15:38is
15:38just starting. It can't be ruined like this. That was because you misled me. I only did all that
15:44because I thought the dead woman was Ryan's mother. After she shouted that, she looked at me.
15:48Then guilt flashed across her face. I let out a mocking laugh. I had no interest in watching the
15:53two of them tear each other apart. Once I got in the car, Quinn turned from the passenger seat
15:58and smiled at me. So, total win? Quinn was also a lawyer at Tessa's firm. She'd been pushed around
16:05for a long time because she couldn't stand how Tessa twisted the truth and helped monsters walk free.
16:09Quinn had already been planning to quit. Then all of this happened. I needed someone inside the firm
16:13to keep an eye on Tessa and Derek. Quinn figured out what I wanted and offered to help. But she
16:18had one condition. I couldn't stop her from exposing everything Tessa had done. She wanted
16:22Tessa ruined. At first, I still wanted to leave Tessa some dignity. Then she did all that. I was
16:27done. So I agreed. But I still didn't feel happy. It's about Susan, isn't it? Don't blame yourself too
16:33much. You tried to stop it. When I got home, I shipped out all the things I had already packed
16:38up for
16:38Tessa. She called me. I didn't answer. Then she texted me. She said she wanted to give Susan a proper
16:43funeral and hoped I would come. I went. I went there for Susan. Tessa held a huge funeral. The
16:48second she saw me, she walked straight toward me like she wanted to say something. I spoke first.
16:53Can you sign the divorce papers now? You really want to divorce me?
16:57I almost found that funny. Did she really think there was still any chance for us?
17:02Ryan, can we not do this? I was fooled by Derek. That bastard lied to me. All those clothes and
17:07jewelry
17:07your mom bought for my mom, he always told me he bought them. I only have my mom and I
17:12just want to
17:12protect her memory. That's why I did those things. Please forgive me. That only made it
17:18more ridiculous. Derek was never even good at lying. He came from an ordinary family. He made
17:24three grand a month. How was he supposed to buy gifts worth hundreds of thousands? Even if you
17:30were fooled, you wanted to be fooled. Deep down, you already had a problem with my mom. I just
17:35don't understand why. Why? Because she looked down on me. She never thought I was good enough for you.
17:49She never wanted us together, right? My mom was sharp. Back then, she told me Tessa was too sensitive
17:55and too fragile. She said that kind of mind could lead someone to do things they could never take
18:00back. And even if my mom didn't want us married at first, she treated you more than well after we
18:04got married. When you wanted to start your law firm, she used her connections to send powerful
18:09clients your way. She introduced you to people who mattered. She helped build your name. The only
18:14reason you became a star attorney this fast was because my mom helped you. That's not true. I became
18:20a top lawyer because I'm good at what I do. I earned that on my own. Sure, you're talented. But
18:28talent
18:28alone doesn't land you a jewelry mogul as a client right after you start working. You couldn't have
18:34done that. You wouldn't have even gotten in the room. What I said was harsh. It was also true. And
18:41this time, Tessa had nothing to say. My mom's quiet help had pushed her far past the level her real
18:48experience could carry. That was why she lost herself so fast. Ryan, I'm sorry.
18:56You never told me. I know I shouldn't have been so blindly confident. But I wanted so badly to prove
19:03myself. That doesn't matter now. Sign the divorce papers. I won't sign. You still love me. Don't you?
19:11What gave you that idea? You think I still have feelings for someone who hurt me and hurt my mother
19:16like that? But you still helped get justice for my mom in court, didn't you? That was your mother. She
19:21deserved justice. And every person who came to this funeral came for her, not for you. Tessa,
19:24do you really think you can do all those vile things and walk away with no price to pay? I
19:27sued
19:28you too for desecrating a corpse, for violating legal ethics, for giving false evidence. You can't do
19:33this to me. Why not? In the end, she agreed to sign. Once I had the papers, I lit incense
19:46for Susan
19:47and left. Tessa refused to give up. Every day, she either sent flowers or had gifts delivered.
20:07Whatever you decide, I'll support you. I just want you to be happy.
20:13She had always been that kind of person.
20:21I'm not forgiving Tessa. What she did doesn't deserve forgiveness.
20:25A failed marriage doesn't define your whole life. And don't blame yourself too much.
20:32My son already did more than enough.
20:39I didn't expect this. But before Tessa's case even went to trial, Derek sued her too.
20:46He had been Tessa's intern.
20:50Back when Tessa covered for him and cleaned up his messes,
20:52she had helped create a lot of false evidence. Now he brought it all to light.
20:59He also had plenty of dirt on the other lawyers at the firm. No one pitied her. Everyone thought
21:03she had it coming. Derek dumped everything online too. Then, he smeared Susan's name and claimed she
21:09was mentally unstable and had come on to his brother. He said his brother snapped from humiliation
21:14and killed her in the heat of the moment. He was obviously still making one last push to get his
21:19brother's sentence reduced. If the dead woman had really been my mom, that smear would have landed on
21:24her instead. That had been one of Tessa's backup plans too. Now 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.
21:35Now this pushed her completely over the edge. She stormed off to confront him. And somehow,
21:39she killed him. She stabbed him 20 times. Exactly 20. But she used a meat cleaver,
21:44so Derek's body was hacked to pieces.
21:4620 stab wounds. How is that a crime of passion?
21:59Tessa went to prison too. I took over her law firm. That also meant Quinn no longer had to quit.
22:05As for the other lawyers, I replaced almost all of them. They had thrown away their ethics too,
22:09all to prop up Tessa and Derek. A lot of people get trapped with no way to speak up because
22:14of
22:14lawyers with no ethics. So I launched a legal aid program that charged clients nothing. I wanted
22:19more people like Damien to actually face justice. The work was free for the clients. I paid the firm's
22:25lawyers out of my own pocket. No one pushed back. Quinn frowned at me. What do you take me for?
22:31This matters. I want to do it. What about everyone else? If you refuse payment, they'll feel weird
22:39taking it. Doing good still has to pay the bills, right? You're still the same.
22:45My chest tightened. I looked away. I could tell Quinn liked me.
22:50But after everything, I wasn't ready to think about love again. Not yet. I had been out of law
22:56for years. I was rusty. But Quinn never got tired of helping me. She walked me through cases.
23:04Slowly, I stopped fighting it. I told myself I'd let things happen when they happened.
23:10Less than a year later, Tessa died in prison. I heard one of the people she had wrongfully put
23:15away killed her. That ending did not surprise me. If she had any humanity left at all,
23:21maybe her life would not have ended there. Do you think your mom would like this?
23:25Maybe we should bring more gifts.
23:28I know after cremation, you'd give money on a burial plot.
23:34You don't have to overthink it. She'll like anything you bring. Because my mom had always
23:38believed the same thing. The thought was what mattered. If it came from the heart, it was enough.
23:46No way. This is my first time meeting her. I need to make a good impression.
23:52Quinn and I had started dating. I was taking her home for dinner.
23:56I had a feeling my mom would like her. And I was right. The second my mom met Quinn,
24:01she took her hand and started telling her story after story about me.
24:06Quinn loved every second of it. She listened. She laughed. She gave my mom all the warmth in the
24:13world. I thought you'd never open your heart again. I've always believed people have to keep
24:17moving forward. So I'm glad you figured that out. Quinn is a good woman. Don't you dare mess this up.
24:21I know. I'll be good to her. Mom was right. People have to move forward. Everything behind me was
24:24finally over. That chapter was closed for good.
