00:28my
00:28palms this was supposed to be our first trip since i lost our baby a year ago he claimed it
00:33was a top
00:33level military emergency i almost would have believed it if my dad weren't a major general
00:37if something serious had happened my dad would have known first walker he's just a colonel command
00:41wouldn't call him before my dad yeah at first i thought maybe i'd gotten it wrong maybe he hadn't
00:45lied same turn same gate same road back to base for a second i thought he really had told me
00:49the truth
00:49but my gut said otherwise i knew he was hiding something we stopped outside the officer's
00:54housing pound inside the whole place was set up for a party string lights hung over the lawn
00:57folding tables ran across the yard the air was thick with cigarette smoke beer and barbecue
01:01i frowned what the hell was this i got out of the car what's going on ma'am you didn't

01:15past
01:16him and ran in then i saw him walker stood there with his arm around a young woman she was
01:21tucked
01:21against his side cheeks pink his hand rested gently on her stomach then she looked up my blood ran cold
01:27it was lily the girl we saved on that mountain road a year ago i still remember that night rain
01:33was pounding so hard i could hardly see anything then a girl threw herself in front of our car then
01:36we heard armed men closing in walker was out of the car in a second gun in hand i was
01:39eight months
01:40pregnant i should have stayed in the car but i didn't i got out to help when i woke up
01:43woke up
01:43the army doctor told me i'd lost the baby and that i might never be able to have enough it's
01:47all my fault
01:48i'm so sorry lily dropped to her knees beside my bed sobbing and blaming herself for everything
01:52after that always quiet always look guilty then one day walker said it like it was nothing let
01:56her stay you need someone to look after you and just like that lily stayed on base what i never
02:00saw coming was this walker sleeping with her getting her pregnant and letting the world think
02:04she was his wife congratulations colonel hale a sun on the way when walker saw her like that
02:08his eyes softened then like he couldn't help himself he leaned down and kissed her it was a long kiss
02:14when it ended his thumb lingered at the corner of her mouth then he went still across the noise and
02:19the
02:19crowd he saw me standing at the front gate mrs hale you must be thrilled a grandson coming and
02:25a sweet girl like this carrying him you're a lucky woman guess tonight we finally get to meet colonel
02:29hale's wife even his hard-faced mother diane was smiling in a way she never had with me walker
02:32looked like he was off of the world and lily the more they praised her the more shy she acted
02:35pink
02:36cheeks downcast eyes she just kept leaning closer and closer into walker he saw me panic flashed across
02:41his face he instinctively pushed lily away my i walked straight toward him slap before he could
02:46finish my name i slapped him hard across the face this is your so-called base emergency mission
02:51the entire party went dead silent lily reacted first screaming and rushing to walker's side
02:56caressing his face as if he were the victim maya how dare you slap the blow sent her stumbling back
03:02and walker rushed to hold her up i was about to speak when a violent force threw me to the
03:07ground
03:07carter you bitch my son doesn't want you anymore if anything happens to my grandson i'll make you pay
03:14exactly no matter how jealous you are you can't crash in and ruin this party and just like that
03:18the whole scene erupted accusations flew everywhere people yelled insults and some were already calling
03:22for the military police to drag me emboldened by the crowd lily flashed me a triumphant smile but in
03:27the blink of an eye that snug look was gone her eyes filled with tears and her voice turned weak
03:31and
03:32trembling why can't you just leave us alone maya i know you're divorced you you can't have walker's
03:36children but he's always wanted a son but if it makes you feel better you can still visit him
03:39when the baby's born maya was shaking so hard she could barely breathe she wanted to ask him when
03:47the hell they got divorced she wanted to ask him loosen rangers but he cut her off well under hard
03:53damon that's enough he shoved lily behind him like she was the one worth protecting
03:59his jaw tightened and a vein stood out at his temple
04:07maya are you ever going to stop you couldn't give me a child and i still tried to let you
04:12walk
04:13away with some dignity don't make this uglier than it already is leave now or i'll call the mps

04:25we can do back when the doctor said she might never have children again walker's mother screamed
04:29and begged him to leave her but walker said no he held her and told her he loved her he
04:34told her it
04:34didn't matter whether she could give him children he told her he would never divorce her not in this
04:38lifetime what a joke every word had been a lie maya slowly pushed herself off the ground
04:44she clenched her fists so hard her nails bit into her palms she didn't move
04:52she didn't move his expression hardened mps get this crazy woman out of here
05:01don't you dare my father is general carter i dare anyone to lay a hand on me
05:07the entire compound dropped into stunned silence
05:11then lily suddenly let out a soft trembling sob
05:15maya i know you're upset but you can't just say things like that
05:21walker do you think maybe losing the baby really broke her
05:25walker played right along

16:44and the reckoning
16:46the
17:12the truth is never buried
17:21he didn't need to say a word
17:22because every second that followed
17:24would make walker wish he were dead
17:28within 10 minutes
17:30the truth came out
17:31walker used his position
17:32to make the county clerk record his marriage to lily
17:34even though he hadn't filed for divorce yet
17:36good
17:37very good hale

17:42he just
17:44take him
17:45soldiers ripped the insignia off walker's uniform on the spot
17:49minutes earlier
17:50he'd swaggered like he owned
17:52no
17:54diane threw herself forward to beg for him
17:57but an mp shoved her aside roughly
18:00she crashed to the ground and wailed
18:06everyone went quiet
18:07the loudest shouters now hid in the corners
18:10trembling in fear
18:11afraid dad would go after them next
18:14and that their husbands would also be taken away
18:16and that their husbands would also be taken away
18:17lilly sat there clutching her stomach
18:19pale as a ghost
18:21come on sweetheart
18:24dad's taking you home
18:28he wiped the blood from my face
18:31his jaw tightened
18:32his jaw tightened
18:33instantly
18:33instantly
18:34in the rear view mirror
18:36i took one last look at the crowd at the gate
18:38they looked
18:39stunned
18:40like they still couldn't process what had happened
18:44they grew smaller and smaller until they vanished
18:47and i finally looked away
18:49does it still hurt
18:51i'd been sure he'd blame me
18:53for not listening to him
18:55for insisting on marrying walker
18:57for dragging myself into this nightmare
19:00but he didn't
19:01he just looked at me
19:03gentle and heartbroken
19:05i hung my head and bit my lip
19:09the silence in the car was suffocating
19:15dad
19:18i'm sorry
19:19i
19:20in that moment
19:21all the pain i'd held back burst out

19:41you wouldn't have been so set on marrying him
19:43maybe you wouldn't have left home
19:44i wouldn't have lost you for all those years
19:47if i'd been there for you
19:48that bastard never would have dared treat you like this
19:51i sniffed hard

26:55Diane sat in the gallery
26:57she broke down
26:58the second she heard the sentence
27:00rushed to me
27:01and grabbed my sleeve
27:02Maya
27:03Maya please
27:04you can't do this
27:06you were his wife
27:07please save him
27:10I pulled away
27:11and looked her straight in the eye
27:13no one
27:14is above
27:15the law
27:16you heartless
27:17bitch
27:18you ruined my son's life
27:19and I swear I'll ruin yours too
27:22I said nothing
27:23I just turned and walked out
27:26dad followed me out of the courthouse
27:28outside
27:29what now?
27:32I took a deep breath
27:33and looked up at the sky
27:35clear
27:35bright blue
27:36for the first time in a long time
27:39I felt like I could really breathe
27:41I want to do something
27:42that actually matters
27:43something real
27:44I want to help people
27:45that's my daughter
27:46dad smiled proudly
27:47in college
27:48I'd majored in medicine
27:49I dreamed of being a doctor
27:50then I met Walker
27:51and I let that dream go
27:52now I finally had a chance
27:54to pick it back up
27:55to hold a scalpel again
27:56after that
27:56life moved on
27:57I worked at a small local clinic
27:59my days were busy and simple
28:01and the worst of my past
28:02slowly faded
28:02then one day
28:03I heard his name a Hale
28:04Walker Hale
28:05I heard his family
28:06brought him up
28:06while we were talking
28:07total mess
28:08my hand paused
28:09I didn't say anything
28:10just listen
28:11it turned out
28:12that the second Walker fell
28:13Lily dumped him
28:14got rid of the baby
28:15and hooked up
28:15with another colonel right away
28:16Diane flew into a rage
28:18and attacked Lily
28:19leaving her half paralyzed
28:21and on a ventilator
28:22in hospital
28:22Diane was arrested
28:24and reunited with her son
28:25in prison
28:26God I heard she may never wake up
28:31I was quiet for a moment
28:33then closed the chart in my hands
28:39room 3 needs a dressing change
28:41Dr. Carter
28:42a nurse gently nudged me
28:44sounding worried
28:46I smiled
28:48when I stepped out of the ward
28:50I saw the sky had cleared
28:53after days of grey
28:54the sun was shining
28:57Dr. Carter
28:58the director's looking for you
28:59a nurse called
29:01from the end of the hall
29:01I walked straight to the office

29:33no hesitation
29:35then I handed the form back
29:43when I walked out of the office
29:45sunlight hit my face
29:49somewhere in the distance
29:50I heard kids laughing
29:53I reached into my pocket
29:55the apple from the patient
