Short filmTranscript
00:00There is an unwritten rule in the Italian Mafia families.
00:02Only a male child born to each generation can become the sole heir of the family.
00:06When my sister and I gave birth at the same time,
00:08my husband Damien betrayed me simply because I was expecting a baby girl.
00:10I was crashing on the delivery bed,
00:12contractions ripping through me one after another.
00:15Just hang in there a little longer, Alessia.
00:17We're gonna meet our baby so soon.
00:19I was sweating bullets, practically blinded by the pain.
00:22But I still managed a weak smile for him.
00:25Then, a nurse walked in holding a syringe.
00:27I thought it was just my epidural.
00:29Get the dosage right.
00:32We need to stall her labor until Vivian gives birth.
00:37My eyes snapped wide open, staring at him in pure horror.
00:42But he just casually checked his Rolex.
00:49Vivian, 6 centimeters dilated.
00:51Just keep her drugged for another 2 hours.
00:56I wanted to scream, to rip the 4 out.
00:59But the drugs were already flooding my veins.
01:01The violent, tearing contractions in my stomach were suddenly choked out by this invisible hand.
01:07Everything just stopped dead.
01:09They wheeled me down to the hospital's creepy-ass basement,
01:13dumping me in what looked like a makeshift cell.
01:16Damien's spoiled brat of a sister, Blair, was leaning against the doorframe,
01:20casually twirling a surgical scalpel.
01:22Don't be mad at my brother, Alessia.
01:25Vivian is carrying my late brother's baby.
01:27The first actual heir, a boy, for our family's new generation.
01:32Who cares if you deliver first?
01:34You're just popping out a girl.
01:36It's totally worthless.
01:40Doctor, baby's coming, I swear to God.
01:44Give birth?
01:45Who said you're giving birth?
01:46Those meds are going to keep you locked up tight for another 3 hours.
01:50Vivian's already in the delivery seat.
01:52Just sit tight and be a good little incubator.
01:55Once her son is born safe and sound, you can push all you freaking want.
02:03Watch her.
02:04If she screams, gag her.
02:05The heavy metal door slammed shut.
02:08The only light in that basement was a sickly, flickering yellow emergency bulb.
02:13Damien had confiscated my phone the exact second we pulled up to the air.
02:17He fed me some BS about.
02:22Radiation is bad for the baby.
02:27Looking back, he just didn't want me calling the cops.
02:30I curled into a tight, agonizing ball, desperately trying to breathe through the blinding pain.
02:36But all I could picture was the look in Damien's eyes.
02:39Three months ago, his older brother died in a horrific car crash.
02:44He left behind Vivian, his widow, who was three months pregnant.
02:47You have to deliver this baby safely.
02:51Our bloodline cannot end here.
02:56Don't worry, Dad.
02:58Dad, Damien and I will make sure our baby takes care of you too.
03:01Back then, I actually felt bad for Vivian.
03:04I even stepped up and said,
03:06The old man just gave me this dead, blank stare and said nothing.
03:10It suddenly clicked.
03:11From that exact moment, my baby was already marked as collateral damage.
03:25Somebody help!
03:27The baby is coming!
03:28Please, save my baby!
03:30Shut the hell up.
03:32Blair said to wait, so you wait.
03:34Save my baby!
03:35If it dies, it dies.
03:37Blame your own crappy luck for not carrying a boy.
03:39This wasn't bad luck.
03:40They actively, intentionally wanted my baby dead.
03:45I have no idea how long I survived in that pitch-black basement.
03:50The bleeding wouldn't stop.
03:52I was practically swimming in a dark red puddle.
03:55Just as I started blacking out, the door violently swung open.
03:59It wasn't Blair.
04:00It wasn't the goons.
04:02It was the family's private physician, Dr. Vance.
04:06Alexia?
04:06What the hell are you doing down here?
04:08Damien told everyone you were resting up in the penthouse VIP suite.
04:11Every ounce of color drained from his face the second he saw the state I was in.
04:14I tried to scream, but my throat was totally paralyzed.
04:17All I could do was point at my swollen stomach, sobbing uncontrollably.
04:20Dr. Vance rushed over, dropped to his knees to examine me.
04:23You're 10 centimeters.
04:24Your water's completely broken.
04:25We need to get you into the OR right freaking now.
04:27The second his hands felt my abdomen, he sharply sucked in a breath.
04:30He tried to scoop me up,
04:31but the slightest movement sent a horrifying hot gush between my legs.
04:36Blood.
04:37So much damn blood.
04:38Help! Get in here now! She's hemorrhaging!
04:41Dr. Vance's hands were shaking uncontrollably as he screamed out the door.
04:45The hallway was a ghost town.
04:46Damien's family basically owned this private hospital.
04:48They had cleared out the entire building tonight just for Vivian's delivery.
04:50Every single doctor and nurse was on standby up on the third floor.
04:52Dr. Vance whipped out his phone,
04:53swearing when he saw there was zero cell service down here.
04:55I'm carrying you up. Just hold on.
04:56That stair room felt like an endless nightmare.
04:58Every single jolt was pure, unadulterated torrent.
05:00I could feel my baby dropping, pushing down, but unable to actually come out.
05:03Those sick delay drugs were still messing, messing with making my contractions totally erratic.
05:06It was the most lethal scenario possible.
05:08Dr. Baby, please just save my baby.
05:10Don't talk like that. You're both gonna make it.
05:12We finally hit the ground floor, sprinting straight for the primary operating room.
05:15But when we got to the doors, we both just...
05:17The OR double doors were propped wide open, and the room was completely, utterly gutted.
05:20The overhead surgical lights, the operate table, gone.
05:23The fetal monitors, the oxygen tanks, every single piece of life-saving equipment had straight up vanished.
05:27All that was left was an empty, echoing room and some exposed wall outlet.
05:29What the hell? How is this possible?
05:33I personally checked all this equipment at 3 p.m.
05:37Dr. Vance stood there, paralyzed.
05:40He let out this choked, horrified sound, like someone was literally strangling him.
05:44Suddenly, the sharp click of heels echoed from down the hall.
05:48Blair strode over with two nurses trailing her like lap dogs.
05:51Dr. Vance?
05:52The hell are you doing down here?
05:53Vivian's up on the third floor. Why did you leave your post?
05:56She raised a perfectly plowed eyebrow at us.
05:58Where is the equipment? Where did everything go?
05:59We moved it up to the third floor, obviously.
06:01Vivian needs a C-section, so she gets the absolute premium gear.
06:04What if there's an emergency? A regular old OR wouldn't cut it for the air.
06:06Blair gave this sickeningly innocent pout.
06:08She trailed off, her eyes dropping to my bleeding, half-dead body.
06:10Oh, is Alessia about to pop?
06:11Well, she's gonna have to hold it in. Vivian's not done yet.
06:13Just suck it up and tough it out a little longer.
06:15A sick memory flashed from six months ago.
06:17Her linking arms with me at Prada, batting her eyelids and going,
06:20You're the best, Alessia.
06:21Alessia, you're more like a real sister to me than anyone.
06:24I bought her a $20,000 bag that day.
06:27Looking back now, what a twisted, pathetic joke.
06:30Dr. Vance sprinted into the nurse's station like a madman,
06:32violently tearing through the supply cabinets.
06:33But they were wiped clean. Not a single hemosteth.
06:35Not one damn roll of goss.
06:36Where are the meds? Coagulants? Oxynose? Give me something!
06:38We sent it all up to the third floor.
06:40Damien ordered that every single resource must be strictly prioritized for Vivian.
06:42He looked at me, his eyes totally bloodshot, lips trembling.
06:45I'm so sorry. God, I'm so sorry, Alessia.
06:49There's nothing I can do.
06:50Blair saundered over, condescendingly patting his shoulder.
06:53Relax, Doc. Take a breath.
06:54She hasn't even pushed the kid out yet.
06:55Once Vivian has finished and the scraps back downstairs for her.
06:57She shot my stomach a disgusted look and sneered.
07:00And honestly, even if she pops it out, it's just a worthless girl.
07:02If it dies, good rid us.
07:03Our family doesn't eat trash like that.
07:05I stared a hole straight through her skull,
07:06looking at the girl I treated like my own flesh and blood drank
07:08and my broke body a spat out.
07:10Blair's snugged that little smile instantly vanished.
07:12She leaned in, her voice dropping to this venomous, nasty whisper right by my ear.
07:15Keep barking.
07:16Call me whatever you want.
07:17Once you're completely drained from giving her a lie,
07:19the lady wants to show you all for good.
07:22The mean Vivian is going to officially take her place as the lady of the house.
07:26She straightened back up, flashing this radiant, completely unhinged smile.
07:30Blair!
07:31You are literally murdering her!
07:32Murder?
07:33Watch her spot around rolling rocks.
07:34Women die from childhood complications every day.
07:36It's perfectly natural.
07:37Besides, this is interlocking business.
07:38You're just an employee on our payroll, back from the law.
07:40She flicked her wrist at the beams,
07:41escorted off against the baby.
07:42It to immediately grab the doctor by the arms and started dragging him away.
07:45He kicked and thrashed, screaming frantically back at me.
07:48The baby is coming!
07:49Alexia, press your acubus invention points,
07:51your ankles, the webbing of your hands,
07:52it'll force the contractions.
07:53Don't give up!
07:54You can still save the baby!
07:56His voice echoed down the hall until it faded into nothing.
08:03Hey, Damien.
08:05Alexia's about to pop.
08:06Want to watch?
08:07Cut the crap, Alexia.
08:08Things are getting complicated with Vivian.
08:10The baby's heart rate is dropping.
08:11Look at all this blood she's losing.
08:13Do you think she's gonna croak too?
08:15My grip on reality was slipping.
08:18Blair was just lounging in a chair,
08:20scrolling through her phone,
08:21occasionally glaring down at me like I was road kale.
08:25I mean, seriously,
08:27what were you thinking,
08:28marrying into our family, Alessia?
08:30Did you just want Damien for his looks?
08:32His money?
08:33You're literally a nobody from a middle-class family.
08:37You never belonged with us.
08:40I didn't say a single word.
08:42I just kept desperately pressing the pressure points Dr. Vancey told me about my ankles,
08:46the webbing of my hands,
08:48pushing down with everything I had,
08:51even if it was a total long shot.
08:53If you hadn't gotten knocked up so fast,
08:55my brother never would have married you.
08:57We figured, hey, if you spit out a son,
08:59you'd at least have some use.
09:00Then the ultrasound showed it was a girl.
09:02The old man was absolutely furious.
09:05Thank God Vivian is having a boy.
09:06She stood up, walked over,
09:09and literally kicked my leg!
09:10So do us all a favor and know your place.
09:13Stop clinging to things that aren't yours.
09:15Does Damien know you're talking to me like this?
09:19My brother literally sent me down here to prep you.
09:23He said you were stubborn.
09:24I tried to let out a sarcastic laugh,
09:26but my face just contorted.
09:28Another massive wave of agony ripped through my stomach.
09:31She's fully dilated,
09:32but she's losing way too much blood we have to deliver right now!
09:35Then let them die.
09:36They're dead weight anyway.
09:37Who gives a crap?
09:39Blair literally just walked out,
09:41leaving me to bleed out.
09:42Every passing second was pure, ignonizing hell.
09:46Then, out of nowhere,
09:47rapid, heavy footsteps echoed down the hall.
09:49A lot of them.
09:50The synchronized, thunderous thud of tactical combat boots.
09:54The heavy metal door was violently kicked off its hinges.
09:56A squad of men in full black tactical gear swarmed the room,
09:59assault rifles raised.
10:01The leader ripped off his helmet,
10:02revealing a sharp, chiseled face.
10:04The second his eyes locked onto my bloody body,
10:07they went completely red.
10:13Miss Celestia!
10:17We're too late.
10:19Forgive us, boss.
10:25Clear the perimeter.
10:26Prep the mobile med bay now.
10:28Yes, sir.
10:29The operatives moved like lightning.
10:31The nurse tried to make a run for it,
10:32but got slammed face first into the concrete.
10:34She thrashed around, screaming.
10:40You can't do this!
10:42This hospital belongs to Damien's family!
10:44The leader paused and slowly turned his head.
10:46He gave her a look that could freeze hell itself.
10:49Damien's family.
10:52They're already dead to us.
10:55They rushed me into a heavily modified armored medical van.
11:01VP dropping.
11:0260 over 40 hemorrhagic shock.
11:03Fetal distress is critical.
11:06We need to perform an emergency C-section.
11:08But the mother's vitals are crashing.
11:10The surgery risk is...
11:10Cut her open!
11:11I'll take the bullet if anything goes wrong!
11:15Save.
11:16Save the baby first.
11:17Boss, please don't speak.
11:19Save your energy.
11:20The Don is already on his way.
11:22He'll be here in a minute.
11:23You and the baby are going to make it.
11:25You have to...
11:26She's flatlining. Grab the pedals.
11:28Clear!
11:29The fetal heartbeat is crashing too.
11:32Scalpel, we're cutting now.
11:34They strapped my arms down and a heavy anesthesia mask was clamped over my face.
11:38Right before the darkness swallowed me whole, I heard the surgeon scream.
11:44We're too late!
11:46Maybe the baby has no pulse!
11:48Darkness.
11:48Pure, suffocating darkness.
11:50I don't know how much time passed.
11:52I slowly peeled my eyes open.
11:57I was staring at an unfamiliar ceiling, the sharp smell of antiseptics burning my nose.
12:05She's awake!
12:06The boss is awake!
12:11Where's my pain?
12:12My voice was completely shredded.
12:14The entire room went dead silent.
12:15A few seconds later, the man standing at the foot of the bed slowly turned around.
12:19It was my dad, the Don.
12:20He walked over, sat heavily on the edge of the bed, and gripped my hand.
12:24Alicia.
12:26The baby's gone, isn't it?
12:31Massive hemorrhaging.
12:32Platental attraction.
12:33The oxygen deprivation was just too long.
12:37The doctors did absolutely everything they could.
12:41Where's Damien?
12:43He's with Vivian.
12:45She gave birth.
12:47To a boy.
12:49His entire family is popping champagne, celebrating.
12:52Not a single one of them even asked about you.
12:56Alexia, we're going home.
12:57That family doesn't deserve you, and that bastard definitely doesn't.
13:01Dad, I need you to do something for me.
13:03Name it.
13:04I need a body double.
13:05A hyper-realistic fake corpse.
13:08Make it look exactly like me.
13:10Post-delivery, bled to death.
13:11You're planning to?
13:12I want them to think I'm dead.
13:14And then I'm going to sit back and watch exactly how they celebrate.
13:18Watch them throw a party for their new hair over my dead body.
13:23Done.
13:23I'll make the call.
13:25The body double was terrifyingly realistic.
13:27Shoved into a freezer in the morgue,
13:28you literally couldn't tell the difference from an actual corpse.
13:31I was chilling in the hospital's security room.
13:33My eyes glued to the CCTV feeds.
13:36My dad sat next to me, gripping my hand.
13:38On the screen, Damien finally strutted out of the VIP delivery suite.
13:41Any regrets?
13:43About what?
13:46Marrying that piece of trash.
13:48Nope.
13:49At least it showed me exactly what kind of monsters they are.
13:52He was holding a swaddled newborn,
13:53his face absolutely glowing with that proud new dad energy.
13:57Vivian was being wheeled out on a hospital bed.
14:00A grandson.
14:01I finally have a grandson.
14:05Our bloodline is secure.
14:07The whole damn family crowded around the baby, laughing and celebrating.
14:10Not a single person asked about me.
14:12Mr. Damien.
14:12That is, until a nurse timidly spoke up.
14:17How's she doing?
14:18No updates yet.
14:20Dr. Vance is down there with her.
14:22He handed his golden boy off to the nanny and headed for the elevator.
14:25Blair scrambled after him.
14:28I'm coming with you!
14:38The two of them hopped into the elevator.
14:40I switched the camera feed to the ground floor.
14:42Dr. Vance was leaning against the wall outside the gutted OR,
14:44looking like an actual ghost.
14:49Mr. Damien.
14:52Where's my wife?
14:53Dr. Vance opened his mouth, but no words came out.
14:55He just slowly stepped aside and pointed a shaking finger down the hall, toward the morgue.
14:59Damien's face dropped.
15:07What the hell does that mean?
15:09Alexia?
15:12Massive hemorrhage.
15:13We couldn't resuscitate her.
15:14The air in the hallway completely froze.
15:16Damien just stood there, paralyzed.
15:18Like his brain couldn't process the words.
15:20Bullshit!
15:21She was completely fine a minute ago!
15:24She was already dying a minute ago.
15:26She lost way too much blood.
15:28We had zero equipment.
15:29Zero meds.
15:30I tried literally everything, but...
15:33I'm so sorry.
15:34I swear to God, I tried.
15:38What the fuck did you just say?!
15:41My wife is dead?!
15:44My wife is dead?!
15:48No, that's impossible.
15:51She was perfectly healthy.
15:52How could she...
15:53Damien, wait.
15:54Let me go check.
15:56She practically sprinted toward the morgue.
15:58On the cameras, I watched her yank open the freezer drawer and stare down at the corpse.
16:02The silicone face was permanently frozen in a mask of agonizing pain.
16:08Blair stared for all of five seconds before clapping a hand over her mouth and bolting out of the room.
16:23Damien stormed into the morgue.
16:25The feed caught him standing over the open freezer, completely paralyzed.
16:28He stood there so long it freaked Blair out.
16:31She tiptoed in and tugged his sleeve.
16:38Damien.
16:41Why?!
16:45Why didn't anyone tell me sooner?!
16:48Why didn't you wait for me?!
16:50Your phone was off.
16:52You didn't allow calls in the VIP suite.
16:54Then why the hell didn't you run upstairs and get me?!
16:56It's two flights of stairs.
16:58How long would that take?!
16:59You just stood there and watched her die!
17:02Damien, don't blame the doc.
17:04I was the one who stopped him from going upstairs.
17:07Vivian was in a critical state.
17:08I didn't want to interrupt.
17:09Damien stormed into the morgue.
17:10The feed caught him standing over the open freezer, completely paralyzed.
17:14He stood there so long it freaked Blair out.
17:16She tiptoed in and tugged his sleeve.
17:18Did you just hit me?
17:21Were you the one who locked her in the basement?
17:24I just told her to wait.
17:26Wait for what?!
17:27That was my wife!
17:28That was two human lives!
17:30I told you to take care of her!
17:32Is this how you take care of people?!
17:34I was doing it for the family!
17:36Vivian was having a boy!
17:37She was having a girl!
17:38Do the math!
17:39Gra said the boy is the only heir that matters!
17:44An heir?
17:48So, her life just didn't matter anymore?
17:50It was like that word literally stabbed Damien in the chest.
17:53He froze.
17:54The rage completely washed out of his face, replaced by this hollow, blank look.
17:59No one said a word.
18:00The only sound in the morgue was the low hum of the freezer and Blair's muffled sobbing.
18:06Damien dragged my corpse back to the family estate.
18:09They didn't even let me in the main house.
18:11They set up a cheap memorial in the guest wing.
18:18Meanwhile, Vivian and her golden boy moved straight into the master suite,
18:21swarmed by nannies and night nurses.
18:23The old patriarch laid down the law.
18:25Keep the funeral quiet and cheap.
18:27We don't want bad energy around the new baby.
18:35Just find a day to cremate her and get it over with.
18:39Pick a decent plot though, she was still married into the family.
18:42Damien didn't say a word.
18:44He just sat in that dark memorial room, guarding the casket.
18:47Three days and three nights.
18:48Didn't eat, didn't drink.
18:50Blair tried to comfort him and got violently kicked out.
18:55Damien, you need to eat something.
18:57Get out!
18:58Vivian finally waltzed in holding the baby, playing the sweet widow.
19:01Damien, I'm so sorry for your loss.
19:03Damien, I'm so sorry for your loss.
19:06Alessia wouldn't want to see you like this from heaven.
19:12Do you know what she was thinking when she died?
19:14I don't see why she's a kid.
19:14You
