Short filmTranscript
00:10Because I couldn't bear him a son.
00:13Lucas abandoned me and our daughter on a snow-covered highway in freezing weather.
00:19Then drove off without a second glance to spend a joyful new year with his next wife.
00:28This cruel manly shed a tear when he saw our coffins.
00:32I thought Lucas Reed was pulling over to pee.
00:36Layla's asleep.
00:39Grace, get Layla out of the car.
00:42Lucas, it's fine. Squeeze.
00:43I don't want to sit with that dirty kid! She was coughing!
00:47December 23, highway. 23 degrees Fahrenheit.
00:51I held Layla and watched him restart the engine.
00:53The taillights got smaller and losser in the snow.
00:56Until they disappeared, the snow kept falling.
00:59I stood by the guardrail, trying to block the wind with my body.
01:02Mommy?
01:04Where's Daddy?
01:06He's at Grandma's.
01:08Aunt Lucy's coming to get us.
01:10But I'm cold.
01:13I wrapped her inside my coat.
01:16Tucked a scarf around her head.
01:18My phone had only 30% battery left.
01:21I called Lucy.
01:22Once.
01:23Twice.
01:24Three times.
01:25She finally picked up.
01:26Hey!
01:27Lucy, your brother said you're picking us up.
01:29Where are you?
01:30Oh, that.
01:32Right.
01:32Yeah, he mentioned it.
01:33I'm at a party with you right now, though.
01:35Can't leave.
01:35Just wait.
01:36I'll swing by later.
01:37Lucy, it's freezing out here.
01:38Layla can't-
01:39God, you're so dramatic.
01:40Just wait, okay?
01:41Lucas said Sophie and Vivi can't get cold.
01:43They need to get home.
01:43Waiting a bit won't kill you, too.
01:45I stood there, fingers stiff.
01:51Then I called Lucas.
01:53Voicemail.
01:53Again.
01:54Voicemail.
01:56Layla shivered in my arms.
01:58Mommy, I want to go home.
02:02We will be home in a minute, baby.
02:04We'll be home soon.
02:06Vivian.
02:06Four years of marriage.
02:07I never knew he could be this cruel.
02:09Dumped his own wife and daughter on the highway.
02:12For Sophia's kid.
02:13Because Vivian said she didn't want to sit with a dirty kid.
02:17Headlights appeared in the distance.
02:18I waved.
02:20Here!
02:21A black SUV slowed down.
02:23Stopped.
02:25The window rolled down.
02:27A young guy.
02:28Need help?
02:29Can you take us to the next rest stop?
02:33Please?
02:34Get in.
02:36Grace.
02:38What are you doing out here?
02:40Where's Lucas?
02:42I told Henry what happened.
02:44Is he insane?
02:45He left you and Layla out here?
02:48Sophie's kid matters, but his own daughter doesn't?
02:51Lee.
02:52Squeeze them in.
02:54Now.
02:57No.
02:58Room.
02:59Look at her face.
03:00She's turning blue.
03:03I climbed into the back with Layla.
03:05Heat hit my frozen skin.
03:07It hurt.
03:08Call me when you get to the rest stop.
03:10I'll make Lucas come get you.
03:11Henry, you'll freeze out here.
03:13I'll survive.
03:14Just take care of the kid.
03:15Go.
03:15The car pulled away.
03:17Henry stood in the snow.
03:19Getting smaller.
03:22The car pulled away.
03:23I looked through the back window.
03:25Henry stood in the snow.
03:27Getting smaller.
03:28Lena slept in my arms.
03:30Her cheeks were still too red.
03:32I touched her forehead.
03:33Burning.
03:35Can you go faster?
03:36She has a fever.
03:37Lee nodded.
03:38Lee nodded.
03:38Stepped on gas.
03:39Stepped on the gas.
03:42I reached for my phone.
03:45No signal.
03:48How far is it to the rest stop?
03:5012 miles.
03:51Half an hour.
03:52Easy.
03:54I held Layla tighter.
03:56Kept checking her forehead.
03:59Hotter.
03:59Baby.
04:00Wake up.
04:02Don't close your eyes.
04:03I don't feel good.
04:04I know.
04:06We're almost there.
04:08Just hold on.
04:09She started coughing.
04:11Hard.
04:12Her little face turned blue.
04:14I patted her back.
04:16The tears finally came.
04:19Please!
04:20Faster!
04:23I'm going as fast as I can.
04:25The roads are icy.
04:27The cough got worse.
04:29Her breathing sounded like a broken whistle.
04:31I can't breathe.
04:35I unzapped her coat.
04:36Her chest was heaving.
04:37Pneumonia.
04:38She almost died from it last year.
04:39Lena.
04:40Look at me.
04:41Stay awake.
04:42Mommy's going to tell you a story.
04:43About the bunny.
04:44Her eyes fluttered.
04:46Her breathing got shallower.
04:48Someone help!
04:49She's dying!
04:50Please!
04:51No one answered.
04:52Just the sound of the wind and snow howling outside.
04:55The car finally pulled into the restroom.
04:59Is there a doctor?
05:00Please.
05:01She's sick.
05:01There's no doctor here.
05:04Towers down.
05:06Lines are dead.
05:08My knees buckled.
05:10Layla was silent in my arms.
05:12Fever in me of the grace.
05:14Lena.
05:15Try giving her these.
05:21Please.
05:22Look, I can drive you to the community hospital.
05:24But the roads might be closed with this snow.
05:27Alright.
05:27I'll try.
05:28Yes!
05:29Go!
05:29Now!
05:32Layla.
05:32Remember you wanted to go to Disney World?
05:35Mommy's taking you.
05:36We'll ride the biggest carousel.
05:38You're going to wear that Elsa dress, right?
05:42And Universal Studios.
05:44They have Transformers.
05:45We'll go see your hero.
05:47Her eyelashes fluttered.
05:48But she didn't open her eyes.
05:50My phone buzzed.
05:52A signal.
05:52I dialed Lucas with shaking fingers.
05:58Hello?
06:00Lucas.
06:01Layla is sick.
06:03It's bad.
06:04Where are you?
06:05Layla.
06:06On the way to the community hospital.
06:09You need to come-
06:10Grace.
06:11Lucy's picking you up, isn't she?
06:13She didn't come.
06:15She never came.
06:20That's not possible.
06:21She just posted on social media.
06:23Said she was on her way.
06:25I opened the app and found Lucy's profile.
06:27Her latest post.
06:29Ten minutes ago.
06:30A selfie.
06:31Highway in the background.
06:32The caption picking up Grace.
06:34The location tag said 60 miles away.
06:36She hadn't moved an inch.
06:37She was lying to Lucas.
06:39She was lying to me.
06:41Grace.
06:42Sofie and Vivian just got here.
06:44My mom's happy.
06:44Don't ruin it.
06:45When Lucy picks you up, take Layla to me.
06:47I can't escape fingers.
06:48It's normal.
06:49She's not gonna die.
06:50Stop being dramatic.
06:51Don't miss.
06:53I held the phone.
06:55My blood ran cold.
06:57Your husband?
07:01I nodded.
07:03Esther.
07:04Hold on.
07:05I'm taking a shortcut.
07:06That kid is not dying on my watch.
07:10He turned onto a back road.
07:12The snow got heavier.
07:14I could barely hear Layla breathing anymore.
07:16I felt for her heartbeat.
07:18So faint.
07:19Layla, don't do this to you.
07:20Mommy.
07:21Mommy was wrong.
07:22I should've never been such a fool.
07:23Mommy was wrong to marry him.
07:25Mommy's sorry.
07:25I'm so sorry.
07:26I was crying as I reached into my pocket.
07:28I pulled out a small metal disc.
07:30About the size of a button.
07:32Dad gave it to me.
07:33Grace, if the reeds ever hurt you or Layla, push this.
07:36But I want one more thing.
07:37No sound.
07:39But I knew the signal went out.
07:41Dad said his people would be there within three hours.
07:43But three hours?
07:45Could Layla last three hours?
07:47Community hospital finally came into view.
07:49Acute pneumonia.
07:51Heart rate dropping.
07:53Get the crash cart ready.
07:54They stopped me at the door.
07:57I stood behind the glass.
07:59Watched them intubate her.
08:01Hook her up to monitors.
08:02Her tiny body on that bed.
08:04I felt so helpless.
08:05Like I was watching her die.
08:08I collapsed in the corner.
08:10Shaking.
08:12My phone rang again.
08:13Lucas.
08:14I answered.
08:15Said nothing.
08:16Grace, where are you?
08:17My mom's waiting.
08:19Hello?
08:20Hospital.
08:22They're resuscitating Layla.
08:25What?
08:25Why are you at a hospital?
08:27Where's Lucy?
08:28She never came.
08:30That's impossible.
08:32She just texted me.
08:34Said she picked you up.
08:35I opened the family group chat.
08:3720 minutes ago.
08:38A message from Lucy.
08:39Got her bro.
08:40Heading back.
08:41A blurry photo attached.
08:43A woman's silhouette in the passenger seat looked like my coat.
08:46She took that photo weeks ago.
08:47She was lying to him.
08:49With a pre-planned photo.
08:51Lucas come to the hospital.
08:52Now.
08:54Grace.
08:55You just don't want to come for Christmas, do you?
08:57Because Sophie's here.
08:59You're jealous.
09:00So you made this up.
09:04You think I'm lying?
09:05Otherwise what?
09:07Lucy has no reason to lie to me.
09:08She's my sister.
09:10What are you?
09:11Lucas.
09:12If Layla dies tonight, I will never forgive you.
09:16Whatever.
09:17My mom says Sophie can still bore me a son.
09:18You can't.
09:19So step aside.
09:21The lion went dead.
09:22I slid down the wall.
09:27Family?
09:31I'm here.
09:34We saved her.
09:36But.
09:37There's something you need to see.
09:39But what?
09:39Oxygen deprivation.
09:41Too long.
09:42There's brain damage.
09:43She may never walk.
09:44Or talk.
09:45Or think like a normal child.
09:47The room spun.
09:48I grabbed the wall.
09:51She's still so young.
09:53We did everything we could.
09:55Get her admitted.
09:57The bills won't be cheap.
10:00I stumbled to the billing window.
10:05Insufficient funds.
10:06Lucas gave me $3,000 a month.
10:10I called him.
10:12What now?
10:14Layla needs surgery.
10:15Transfer me $50,000.
10:17$50,000?
10:18What am I, an ATM?
10:20A printing press?
10:24Lucas.
10:24Lucas.
10:25She's your daughter.
10:26A girl.
10:27Even if she recovers.
10:28She's worthless.
10:30I hung up.
10:32Stood at the window.
10:36Can we start the treatment first?
10:38I'll pay later.
10:39Sorry.
10:40Hospital policy.
10:42Deposit first.
10:43I walked outside.
10:45Into the snow.
10:47My phone buzzed.
10:49Henry.
10:51Henry.
10:53Do me a favor.
10:54Anything.
10:56If I die.
10:57Take care of Layla.
10:59What the hell are you talking about?
11:00I have no money.
11:02Layla has no future.
11:03Lucas doesn't want her.
11:06I don't either.
11:08Dump her in foster care.
11:09At least she'll live.
11:10Don't do anything stupid.
11:12Where are you?
11:13I'm coming.
11:14No.
11:15I hung up.
11:18Turned off the phone.
11:21Walked back to the room.
11:24Layla lay on the bed.
11:25Tubes everywhere.
11:27Her pale face.
11:28Like she was just sleeping.
11:29I held her hand.
11:32I kissed.
11:33Her forehead.
11:34Then turned.
11:35And walked out.
11:37The hospital roof was cold.
11:40With wind and snow.
11:41I stood at the edge.
11:43Looking down.
11:46People looked so small down there.
11:48Jumping would end everything.
11:49Layla would be given away.
11:51Lucas would marry Sophie.
11:52Everyone would be happy.
11:53Except me.
11:54And Layla.
11:55I closed my eyes and leaned forward.
11:57Then someone grabbed my wrist.
11:59And pulled me back hard.
12:00I hit the ground and looked up.
12:02Men in black suits stood around me.
12:03The one in front was in his 50's.
12:05With grey hair.
12:06He took off his sunglasses.
12:08His eyes red.
12:09Grace.
12:12Dad.
12:13They put me on a private helicopter.
12:15Layla came too.
12:16A doctor on board took over immediately.
12:18Intracranial pressure too high.
12:20She needs surgery now.
12:21Call the main hospital.
12:23Tell them to clear the OR.
12:24Dad held my hand.
12:25He wouldn't stop shaking.
12:28I'm sorry sweetheart.
12:29I came too late.
12:30I'm sorry.
12:31Dad.
12:32What's going on?
12:34Grace.
12:34I've been lying to you.
12:35You insisted on marrying Lucas.
12:37I was afraid if he knew we had money.
12:39He'd only marry you for it.
12:41So I pretended to be poor for four years.
12:44I thought as long as he treated you well.
12:46It was fine.
12:47But I never expected.
12:48He looked at Layla unconscious.
12:50And his tears fell.
12:52I never expected them to be this cruel.
12:55To abuse my granddaughter like this.
12:57The helicopter landed on the roof of City General.
13:00They wheeled Layla straight into surgery.
13:03The best surgeons.
13:04The best equipment.
13:06Read group.
13:07Before the market opens tomorrow I want it to crash.
13:10Terminate every partnership.
13:12Call the banks.
13:13You know what to do.
13:14Grace.
13:15I'm giving you two choices.
13:17First.
13:18Divorce him.
13:19Take the money.
13:20Take Layla abroad.
13:21Never come back.
13:22Second.
13:23Stay.
13:25Watch the reeds fall.
13:29I thought about it.
13:31Second.
13:32But I want one more thing.
13:34One more thing father.
13:36What?
13:37Find two bodies.
13:38One exactly like mine.
13:40And a little girl's like Layla's.
13:41Frozen to death on the side of the highway.
13:43I want them to think I'm dead.
13:45Then I want to watch them celebrate.
13:46Watch them celebrate Christmas.
13:48While Layla and I are dead.
13:51Done.
13:52The bodies looked real.
13:54One adult.
13:55One child.
13:56Lying in the snow by the highway.
13:58When they were found.
13:59They were already frozen.
14:01The call came while the reeds were eating Christmas dinner.
14:04The table was full of la-
14:05Grandma.
14:06Oh Vivian.
14:07Sophie is so much better.
14:08Her daughter is well behaved.
14:09Not like Grace.
14:10That little brat of hers was always crying.
14:12So annoying.
14:14Hello?
14:15Mr. Lucas Reed?
14:16Are you the husband of Grace Reed?
14:18We found two bodies by the highway.
14:20You need to come identify them.
14:22What did you say?
14:24Grace and Layla?
14:25Froze to death?
14:30Lucas' legs gave out when he got to the morgue.
14:33The cop led him to the viewing room.
14:36The drawer slid open.
14:37Two bodies.
14:38One big.
14:39One small.
14:41The big one wore my coat.
14:43The small one curled in her arms like she was sleeping.
14:47Are they?
14:47Lucas opened his mouth.
14:49No sound came out.
14:50He reached out to touch my face, but his hands wouldn't stop shaking.
14:55No way.
14:56Lucy went to get them.
14:58We checked the cameras.
14:59Your sister's car never hit the highway.
15:01She drove around the city.
15:02Then went home.
15:03We checked the victim's phone.
15:04We found an audio recording of her last call to you.
15:067pm.
15:06She said the child was begged you to help.
15:07You said...
15:08You said a girl.
15:09Even if she recovers, she's worthless.
15:11I thought...
15:12I thought...
15:13I thought she was lying.
15:14I didn't know.
15:14I didn't think she really...
15:16If you'd known, would you have gone?
15:17Silence.
15:19Lucas had no answer.
15:25Oh my god, Layla!
15:28My little girl!
15:30How could this happen?
15:31I even haven't seen you grow.
15:33Lucas, this is for the best.
15:36Grace is gone.
15:37Now you can have Sophie.
15:39Mom.
15:41That's my daughter.
15:43Your granddaughter.
15:44So what?
15:45She's dead.
15:46That saves you a divorce settlement.
15:48Tell the cop to cremate them already.
15:50Don't ruin Christmas.
15:52Ma'am.
15:53These are two human beings.
15:57So what?
15:58Not your problem.
15:59Let's go.
16:00Sophie's waiting for us.
16:05Wait.
16:08Grace.
16:10I'm sorry.
16:12I'm sorry.
16:12I was wrong.
16:14I didn't...
16:15I never thought that.
16:17Why are you apologizing?
16:18She was just unlucky.
16:20Shut up!
16:21We must bring them home!
16:24Mrs. Reed didn't dare to say another word.
16:28The reeds held a memorial.
16:31Lucas, I didn't mean to.
16:33I was just hanging with friends.
16:35Lost track of time.
16:36How was I supposed to know they'd actually die?
16:38Lost track of time?
16:39Two people.
16:40You lost track of time?
16:42What do you want me to do?
16:44Die for her?
16:45She's not worth it.
16:49Get out!
16:50I don't want to see you again!
16:51You're not my sister!
16:56Lucas, I'm so sorry.
16:57Grace wouldn't want you to be like this.
16:59They were doing what had happened.
17:01Freezing to death on the highway.
17:03Waiting for someone who was never coming.
17:04That was your sister's fault, not mine.
17:06Right.
17:06Poor you.
17:07But they're dead.
17:08Frozen solid.
17:08Two lives.
17:09I keep thinking.
17:11What if I'd answered the phone?
17:13What if I'd gone to get them?
17:16What if I hadn't said those things?
17:18Lucas, Grace is dead.
17:19I'm the one still alive.
17:21The door closed.
17:22Lucas slid down the wall and sat against the coffin.
17:25On the monitor, I watched his shoulders shake.
17:28Ridiculous, people only cry when it's too late.
17:35After Grace's death, things moved fast.
17:37The reed empire started to crumble.
17:39First, their biggest client walked, signed a 10-year deal with their rival overnight.
17:43Then the banks called in their loans, and the whole cash flow dried up.
17:46Suppliers showed up at the door all at once, demanding payment.
17:50You never come home.
17:52Sophie's getting upset.
17:53The company is dying.
17:54Do you understand?
17:55So what?
17:56We still have money.
17:58Money?
17:59Mom.
17:59We're going bankrupt.
18:01The house, the cars, the savings, all of it.
18:03Gone to pay debts.
18:04You might not even be able to afford food soon.
18:06That's impossible.
18:10Nothing's impossible.
18:13Mr. Reed, did you like my gift?
18:15Who is this?
18:16You don't need to know.
18:17All you need to know is this is just the beginning.
18:19The debt you owe, the entire reed family will pay it.
18:21Reed group officially went bankrupt.
18:23The house, the cars, everything, auctioned off.
18:27Mrs. Reed moved out of the villa and into a rental.
18:30I can't suffer with you.
18:32Vivian has school.
18:34Lucas didn't stop her.
18:36He went back to the funeral home.
18:38The coffins were still there.
18:40He bribed the night guard with his last few dollars so he could sleep on the floor.
18:46You ruined the family for a dead woman.
18:48What about mom?
18:50Then who will pay the price for Grace?
18:52Who will answer for Layla?
18:54She left crying and never came back.
18:56Lucas started looking for work.
18:58But no one wanted a bankrupt boss with a bad reputation.
19:01He ended up as a waiter at-
19:02Let's start today.
19:03Wash dishes.
19:04Okay.
19:05Grace, today I carry 300 plates.
19:07My hands are falling off.
19:08In the old days you would have told me to take it easy-
19:10Why was I so stupid?
19:11You were so good.
19:12Layla was so cute.
19:13How did I get so lost listening to mom listen-
19:15That's right!
19:16Daddy!
19:19Layla, daddy sorry.
19:20You love strawberry cake.
19:21Daddy gets paid tomorrow.
19:22I'll buy you one, okay?
19:23He didn't know.
19:24This late guilt meant nothing.
19:26Next morning, Lucas went to the diner early.
19:29Lucas!
19:30Table three is waiting!
19:33Lunch break.
19:33He squatted on the back steps of the diner.
19:36Hey.
19:37You okay?
19:38Nothing.
19:39Got something in my eye.
19:40I heard you used to be a big shot.
19:42How'd you end up like this?
19:43Got what I deserved.
19:44He didn't want to talk.
19:45Some pain you swallow alone.
19:47He thought about Grace's last call, her hoarse voice.
19:50Layla dying.
19:51Would everything have been different?
19:54Shift ended.
19:55Lucas didn't go straight to the funeral home.
19:57He took a detour to the bakery downtown.
20:00Give me the smallest one.
20:01Back at the funeral home.
20:03Layla, daddy bought you cake.
20:04Try it.
20:05It's your favorite.
20:06Grace.
20:07Have a bite too.
20:08You always said I wasted money.
20:10Never bought the expensive cake.
20:12Now I bought it.
20:13I want you to taste it.
20:14He sat there until the candles burned out.
20:16Next morning, he took the receipt and went back to the bakery.
20:19One strawberry cake.
20:20You again.
20:21There's a mother and daughter who come here a lot.
20:23They were just here a couple days ago.
20:24The little girl is so cute.
20:25Two pigtails.
20:26Pointed at the cake and said she wanted to surprise her mom.
20:28What did you say?
20:29They came here two days ago?
20:31The girl had pigtails?
20:32Really cute?
20:33Yes.
20:34I remember clearly.
20:35She was so excited about the cake.
20:36Really?
20:37Did they look like this?
20:38The build matches.
20:39But the little girl looks just like that.
20:40He was going to find them.
20:44First, the park where he used to take Layla.
20:46He walked every path and shouted.
20:49Layla!
20:50Grace!
20:51Where are you?
20:52The wind ate his voice.
20:53No answer.
20:54He went to the spot where they used to feed pigeons.
20:57He crouched and looked at the footprints in the snow.
21:00Daddy was wrong.
21:01Please come out, please.
21:06Every day after his shift.
21:08He got on his motorcycle and went everywhere.
21:10Malls, playgrounds, the preschool, the bookstore Grace used to love.
21:14Every place he could think of.
21:18He's crazy.
21:21Lucas, they're gone.
21:22You need to move on.
21:23He didn't listen.
21:25He knew.
21:25Grace and Layla were alive.
21:27He would find them.
21:28One day, he went to a preschool.
21:31The one Grace once said she'd send Layla to when she was older.
21:34Then he saw her.
21:35The way she moved.
21:36Her smile, it was Layla.
21:39He pushed open the gate and ran in.
21:41Layla!
21:42Fear flooded her eyes.
21:44She ran behind a man in a suit.
21:46She's my daughter.
21:46I'm her father.
21:47Move, sir.
21:48I don't know you.
21:49I don't know what you're talking about.
21:51This is my employer's daughter.
21:53Leave now.
21:54Or I'll call the police.
21:55Don't touch me.
21:57You're a bad guy.
21:59You hurt mommy.
22:00You left us in the snow.
22:02Mommy said you died.
22:04Don't come near us.
22:06The disgust, it stabbed right through his heart.
22:08He finally understood what he'd done to her.
22:10Then a black sedan pulled up and parked by the gate.
22:12The back window rolled down, revealing a face he'd never forgotten.
22:20It's been a long time, Lucas.
22:23Grace!
22:24You're really not dead.
22:36Mommy, he's a bad guy.
22:39He wanted to grab me.
22:40Mommy knows.
22:41Mommy will protect you.
22:43I...
22:43I wanted to see Layla.
22:46I know I was wrong.
22:48I'm sorry.
22:50I want to make it up to you.
22:51Both of you.
22:52Just give me one more chance.
22:54Let me take care of you and Layla.
22:55I'll spend the rest of my life making this right.
22:57I'll do anything.
22:59Some mistakes can never be undone.
23:02You treated us the way you did.
23:05Now you live with the consequences.
23:07Two choices.
23:08One, leave now and never show your face in front of me or Layla again.
23:11Two, I call the cops and press charges for child abandonment and reckless endangerment.
23:16I have Layla's medical records and your phone call recordings all saved.
23:22No.
23:23I won't leave.
23:24Grace, Layla is my daughter.
23:27I can't live without her.
23:29Let me see her.
23:31Just once.
23:31Please.
23:33I promise.
23:35After that, I'll go.
23:37She's not your daughter.
23:39The moment you left her on that highway, you lost the right to be her father.
23:44Have some dignity.
23:45If you keep this up, I'll call the police.
23:48Who are you?
23:50Why are you interfering with my family?
23:52Allow me to introduce myself.
23:54I'm the assistant to the chairman of Bennett Group.
23:57Miss Bennett is the sole heir stare to the Bennett fortune.
24:00She's now taken full control of the company.
24:06Bennett Group.
24:07You thought I was really dependent on you for everything?
24:10Dad pretended to be poor to see if you loved me or my money.
24:13Too bad.
24:14You disappointed him and you disappointed me.
24:17Grace!
24:17Let go of me!
24:18Mr. Reed, stay down.
24:26What's there to look at?
24:27This isn't our house anymore.
24:28Why are you embarrassing yourself?
24:31Lucy, I found Grace and Layla.
24:33They're not dead.
24:34They're alive.
24:36So what?
24:37They're doing fine now.
24:38Why would they want anything to do with a loser like you?
24:40I know I was wrong.
24:41I want to make it up to them.
24:42Make it up?
24:43With what?
24:43You have nothing.
24:44Can't even support yourself.
24:46You're insane.
24:46Lucy, please help me.
24:48I just want to see Layna.
24:49Once.
24:49I'm not helping you.
24:50You're the one who left them on the highway.
24:52You ruined this family.
24:53I'm doing fine now.
24:54Stay away from me.
24:56What do you want?
24:57I told you.
24:58Don't come here.
24:59Grace and Layla.
25:00They're alive.
25:01So what?
25:02What does that have to do with me?
25:03I just want to live my life in peace.
25:05Mom.
25:06I want to make it up to them.
25:07Can you help me?
25:09Help you?
25:10With what money?
25:11You're broke.
25:11Can't even feed yourself.
25:12And you want to make things right?
25:13You know what?
25:14If you just listened to me and never married Grace,
25:17none of this would have happened.
25:18Now Sophie's gone too.
25:19This is all your fault.
25:20Mom.
25:22How can you say that?
25:24Layla is your granddaughter.
25:25So what?
25:25I don't care.
25:26Dead or alive, doesn't matter.
25:28Don't come back.
25:29You're not my son anymore.
25:35Sophie?
25:36You said you were going back to your hometown?
25:37Lucas?
25:38Are you insane?
25:39Who the hell are you?
25:40Touch my girl again!
25:41Sophie, tell me.
25:42What if Grace and Layla on the highway f*** for you?
25:45Lost my family for you and this is how you treat me?
25:48Lucas, you don't actually think I liked you, do you?
25:51You've messes.
25:51Reed likes me.
25:52That's why I came around.
25:53You think I wanted to look at her mean face?
25:54The highway?
25:55You think Vivian was just being a brat?
25:57I told her.
25:57Make a scene.
25:58Refuse to sit with Grace and Layla and I'd buy her the whole Elsa collection.
26:01Lucas, from the start, I wanted Grace gone.
26:03I wanted her to die in that snow.
26:06Only then could I take her place.
26:08Too bad.
26:08She survived.
26:10Get lost.
26:11Come near Sophie again, I'll kill you.
26:26Remember me?
26:27December 23rd.
26:28A three year old girl.
26:30Pneumomia.
26:31Oxygen deprivation.
26:32Her mom brought her in.
26:33How is she?
26:33Is she okay?
26:34You have the guts to ask?
26:35Her mom carried her in knees.
26:37Where were you?
26:37She almost died in that ER.
26:39You wouldn't pay $50,000.
26:40Now you want to know how she is?
26:42She was transferred to city general.
26:44Top specialist.
26:45Three days and three nights to pull her back to life.
26:46Six months of rehab.
26:48She's still afraid of the dark.
26:49Of snow.
26:49She shakes when she hears the word highway.
26:51Nightmares.
26:52Wakes up screaming for her mom.
26:53You want to know how she is now?
26:54Isn't that the former owner of the Reed Group?
26:57How did he end up like this?
26:58He left his wife and daughter on the highway.
27:01Then went bankrupt.
27:02Wife and daughter died.
27:03Karma.
27:09Grace!
27:13Lucas, what do you want?
27:15I want to see Layla.
27:16Just once.
27:17I promise.
27:18After that, I'll leave you alone.
27:19I know I was wrong.
27:20I know.
27:20I think about every day.
27:21About you.
27:22About Layla.
27:23Please.
27:24Give me one more chance.
27:25One more chance.
27:26Said to get rid of her.
27:27Where was her chance then?
27:28Lucas, some mistakes can never be fixed.
27:30Grace!
27:37Lucas Reed found this morning his rental suicide.
27:41I'm sorry.
