Short filmTranscript
00:00On my wedding night, my husband, Harvey, refused to even lay a finger on me,
00:04claiming to save himself for his true love.
00:07So, I stripped him naked and tied him to the bed.
00:10Harvey lost it.
00:14Have you lost your fucking mind?
00:16Listen, Chloe.
00:17You can take me by force, but you'll never have my heart.
00:20Ha! Your heart?
00:22Who cares about that useless scrat?
00:24I spiked in the whiskey and forced it down his throat.
00:30Ugh! I'm going to kill you.
00:33Go ahead, babe. Kill me. I'm more than happy to die in your arms.
00:37Harvey's first wife was driven to her death by him.
00:40He had fallen for Mia, a barista, at an East Village coffee shop, and planned on marrying her.
00:47But the Voss family, the top 20 financial empire, would never allow their son to marry a coffee shop girl.
00:53Harvey's mother, Mrs. Voss, forced him to marry the daughter of a New York state senator.
00:57On their wedding night, Harvey humiliated that girl until she broke.
01:02You know exactly why you're here, right?
01:04Your father wants a promotion, and your mother wants a seat at the table.
01:07So they sold you for it.
01:09The girl couldn't take the shame.
01:10She slid her wrists in the bathtub.
01:12Took her own life.
01:13Since then, Harvey has made it clear to everyone.
01:17Any woman you dare to shove into my bed, I'll kill her.
01:20I mean what I say!
01:25Any family in New York with a shred of dignity wouldn't dare marry their daughter to Voss.
01:30But still, there'll always be those willing to sacrifice their daughter, just to crawl their way to the top.
01:36Like my father, on our wedding night, I met Harvey Voss for the first time.
01:41He offered me a choice of how to die, while his voice remained so gentle.
01:45The last girl stayed in this room slit her wrists.
01:48What about you?
01:49How would you like to die?
01:51Can I choose to die from orgasm?
01:55I've seen shameless women before.
01:57But you?
01:59You're on a whole different level!
02:01I didn't even blink.
02:02My bad.
02:03Thought we were just setting the mood.
02:05For our wedding night, no?
02:06Seeing that I wouldn't cooperate,
02:08he grabbed a glass of poisoned red wine.
02:11Tried to force me to drink it.
02:13I started trembling, my voice breaking into a sob.
02:16No.
02:17Please.
02:18I don't want to die.
02:19No.
02:19His smirk deepened.
02:21Thought I had finally broken.
02:22But the very second the wine glass reached my lips,
02:25I slammed my left elbow directly into his temple.
02:31When Harvey Voss woke up again,
02:33he found himself stripped bare and shackled in bed.
02:35After a glass of my special whiskey.
02:37He spent the entire night, hard.
02:40The next morning, his legs were too weak to even stand.
02:43I left him and joined the Vosses for breakfast.
02:46Mrs. Voss patted the back of my hand.
02:47Well done, Chloe.
02:48I can't wait to have a grandson.
02:50I blushed and nodded.
02:52Harvey didn't wake up until late in the afternoon.
02:55He was probably tired.
02:56He got out of bed and waved at me.
02:58Come here.
02:59I walked over.
03:01Suddenly, he lunged at me,
03:02his hand reaching for my throat.
03:04I stepped back smoothly and planted a solid kick right into his chest.
03:08He crashed to the floor.
03:09His eyes were wide with disbelief.
03:12You, you dare to lay your hand on me?
03:14Mm, technically, it was my foot.
03:17He tried to scramble up,
03:18but I lunged forward and pinned him down,
03:20straddling his waist.
03:21Babe, why are you on the floor?
03:23Is that how you like it?
03:26Aw, I didn't know you were into kinky sex.
03:29His face turned ghostly pale.
03:30What the hell are you doing?
03:32He tried to shove me off,
03:33but couldn't budge me an inch.
03:35You're going way too far!
03:37Suddenly, he noticed that he was getting hard again.
03:40With shame, he sucked in a sharp breath.
03:42What?
03:43What did you do to me?
03:44I leaned down and nipped at his ear,
03:46whispering,
03:47Just a little sensual massage for foreplay.
03:50You like it?
03:55Harvey couldn't get out of bedroom for two days.
03:57On the third day,
03:58Harvey and I were supposed to go to my father's house for lunch.
04:00But when I was in the changing room,
04:02he bolted.
04:03Mrs. Voss was furious.
04:04She immediately sent bodyguards to track him down.
04:07Mrs. Voss, it's fine.
04:09I'll just go back myself.
04:10Feeling guilty,
04:11she pulled the Patek Philippe right off her wrist
04:13and slipped it onto mine.
04:16Take it, Chloe.
04:18A little gift for you.
04:19And so, I headed home alone,
04:21escorted by three full truckloads of gifts.
04:24My mother let out a huge sigh of relief when she saw me.
04:27My father seemed delighted,
04:28lounging on the sofa.
04:29See?
04:30I told you.
04:31Harvey would be obsessed with you.
04:33He had every reason to be happy.
04:35Our family's company just received a massive order.
04:38And my brother secured a golden ticket
04:40into the Voss company.
04:42After lunch,
04:43I didn't head back to the Voss Manor.
04:45Instead,
04:45I told the driver to go straight to the East Village.
04:50Figured,
04:51Harvey was at that coffee shop.
04:53Mia was standing behind the counter
04:54in a floral sundress,
04:56blonde hair down over her shoulders.
04:58Quite stood out among the other baristas.
05:01Harvey was helping her polish the glasses.
05:03I pushed the door open and walked in.
05:05What can I get for you, ma'am?
05:07My eyes locked onto her face.
05:09I'm here to take my husband home.
05:15The smile on Mia's face froze.
05:17Harvey turned and walked toward the back kitchen.
05:20I caught up to him.
05:21Babe, wait for me!
05:22He backed into the wall.
05:23His arms crossed over his chest.
05:25Don't touch me!
05:26As if,
05:27I reached out to touch his chest.
05:29My finger began tracing slow circles
05:31around his shirt button.
05:32You know,
05:33I actually don't mind this
05:35standing position.
05:38Chloe!
05:38We are in a coffee shop!
05:40Public place!
05:41Well,
05:42I wasn't that desperate,
05:44but I did enjoy seeing him like this.
05:46Naughty, naughty boy.
05:47It's just been a few hours
05:49and you want it again?
05:50Hold your horses.
05:52I'll satisfy you tonight,
05:53I promise.
05:54Seemed like he was about to have a stroke
05:56from pure rage.
05:57At that exact moment,
05:59Mia walked into the kitchen,
06:00carrying a coffee curve.
06:01Panicked.
06:02Harvey lunged forward to shove me away,
06:04but I didn't budge an inch.
06:05It looked like he was groping me.
06:07Mia froze in shock.
06:09I immediately pulled back,
06:11covering my chest,
06:12acting shy.
06:13Stop it!
06:14You're embarrassing me
06:15in front of your little friend.
06:17Ah, no, it's not-
06:18Mia lowered her gaze.
06:20I see.
06:21You and your wife are clearly
06:23very close, Harvey.
06:25No!
06:26Mia, wait!
06:27Let me explain!
06:28But Mia had already turned
06:30and sprinted out of the shop.
06:34Mia hadn't gone far.
06:36She was standing
06:37just outside the coffee shop.
06:39She was biting her lip,
06:40her eyes rimmed with tears.
06:43Looking at her,
06:44Harvey's heart shattered.
06:45He stumbled toward her,
06:47his voice thick and raw.
06:49Mia, please.
06:51I don't have any feelings for her.
06:53You're the only one I love!
06:55Mia shook her head.
06:56Tears were about to roll down her cheek.
06:58Harvey, I never asked
07:00for the title of Mrs. Voss.
07:01I just want to be by your side.
07:04Mistress, side piece,
07:06I don't care.
07:07No, no, Mia.
07:08I will marry you, I promise.
07:10The diamond ring,
07:12the cathedral,
07:13the white dress,
07:14I'll give you all.
07:16You are my wife,
07:18one and only.
07:18Harvey!
07:20Mia.
07:26Harvey went back home
07:27eventually,
07:28but by force.
07:31Mrs. Voss' bodyguards
07:33dragged him back to the manor.
07:34His mother lashed him hard,
07:36but he hadn't learned from it at all.
07:37The next day,
07:38he actually come to me with a deal.
07:40If you bring up the divorce,
07:41I'll convince my father
07:43to get your family company
07:44become a top-tier player.
07:46What do you say?
07:48Come on.
07:49You really think
07:50you could convince them?
07:51Can't even secure your mistress
07:53and still offering me a payout?
07:56Get a reality check, Harvey.
07:58He turned livid,
07:59his face flushing with rage.
08:01So tell me,
08:02what would it take for you
08:03to just leave?
08:04Does it really matter?
08:05As long as your father
08:06still holds the Voss,
08:07you're nothing but a little
08:08powerless puppet.
08:09I walked toward him,
08:10resting my hand on his shoulder.
08:12There, there, babe.
08:13Let's get down to business.
08:15Your parents are looking forward
08:16for a grandson.
08:18Get your hands off me.
08:20He kept stepping back.
08:21I kept following
08:22until I had him pinned flat
08:24against the wall.
08:25Shh.
08:26Hmm.
08:26You really love doing it
08:27standing up, huh?
08:32Harvey stared at me,
08:33his eyes wide,
08:34with genuine shock.
08:35Chloe, have you no shame at all?
08:37I let out a soft laugh,
08:39bracing my arms against the wall,
08:40trapping him in the middle.
08:41Oh yeah, babe.
08:43Talk dirty to me.
08:44Slap me.
08:45I like it hard.
08:47Ah, you maniac!
08:48I reach down to loosen
08:49the buckle of his belt.
08:50He grabs the waistband
08:52of his pants with a firm grip,
08:53refusing to let go.
08:55Enough with the drugs
08:56and the mind games.
08:57I'm telling you,
08:57I feel absolutely nothing for you.
08:59Just looking at you
09:00makes me sick.
09:01As a woman, you are-
09:02His voice died in his throat.
09:04His eyes widen.
09:05I flicked the straps
09:06of my nightgown
09:07off my shoulders.
09:08The skirt slips to the floor.
09:10The black lace lingerie
09:11revealed.
09:12My pale skin
09:12and perfect curve
09:13were on full display.
09:15Harvey's Adam's apple
09:16bobbed as he swallowed hard.
09:17I leaned in,
09:19stood on my tiptoes,
09:20letting out a soft,
09:21warm breath against his ear.
09:23In an instant,
09:24he was rock hard.
09:25I sank my teeth
09:26into his earlobe.
09:28Just admit it,
09:29you're enjoying this too,
09:31aren't you?
09:34One month later,
09:35I realized my period
09:36was two weeks late.
09:37I went to the pharmacy
09:38and bought three pregnancy tests
09:40from three different brands.
09:42Each one showed
09:43two bold stripes.
09:45I stared at those three sticks
09:46for five full minutes.
09:48Then,
09:49I went downstairs
09:50and laid them out
09:51in front of Mrs. Voss.
09:52Is this real?
09:54Yeah,
09:54the doctor confirmed it.
09:55Six weeks.
09:56She stood up
09:57and pulled me
09:58into a fierce embrace.
10:00Good girl.
10:02My good girl.
10:03Then immediately asked
10:04the butler
10:05to send the private doc,
10:06coming to the manor
10:07for another full check.
10:09Up.
10:09Onset was confirmed
10:11that I was six weeks pregnant
10:12and the fetus
10:13was perfectly healthy.
10:15Mrs. Voss wept on the spot.
10:17Even Mr. Voss
10:18came out from his study,
10:19a rare smile
10:20finally gracing his face.
10:22That night,
10:23Harvey didn't return
10:24until very late.
10:25Mrs. Voss was waiting
10:27for him in the living room.
10:28Your wife's pregnant.
10:30From now on,
10:32spend more time at home.
10:33Keep her company.
10:35W-what?
10:37Chloe's pregnant.
10:38Six weeks.
10:40You're going to be a father.
10:41Harvey stood there,
10:42his expression
10:43shifting from shock.
10:48Harvey,
10:49just focus on your wife
10:50and baby first.
10:52If you're really into
10:53this Mia girl,
10:54just keep her on the side.
10:57Chloe's not the jealous type.
10:59She won't mind.
11:00Harvey's lips trembled,
11:02but eventually said nothing.
11:03He turned
11:04and headed upstairs.
11:05That evening,
11:06I prepared soup
11:07and took it to the guest room
11:08to find him.
11:10But the maid said Harvey
11:11had gone to the main building.
11:13Mrs. Voss' bedroom.
11:15When I arrived,
11:16the door was slightly open.
11:18They were arguing.
11:19Mrs. Voss sounded furious
11:21and helpless.
11:22Stop being so stubborn!
11:23Why must you insist
11:24on marrying Mia?
11:25You're already married
11:27and your wife
11:27is carrying your child!
11:29Harvey's voice was low.
11:30I heard every word clear.
11:31Giving birth is risky.
11:33People die from it
11:34all the time.
11:35It won't be suspicious
11:36if Chloe just
11:37dies on the table.
11:40Mrs. Voss gasped in horror.
11:42Have you lost your mind?
11:44No, mother.
11:45I'm perfectly fine.
11:47I love Mia.
11:48I want to give her
11:49the whole world.
11:50I won't allow her
11:51to suffer a single bit.
11:53Listening to them arguing,
11:54I couldn't help
11:55but let out a soft,
11:57dark laugh.
11:57I looked down,
11:58gently stroking my belly.
12:00It was still flat.
12:01It's okay, little one.
12:02Mommy doesn't need him
12:04to love me.
12:04I only need you.
12:06But peace didn't last long.
12:08By my third month
12:09of pregnancy,
12:11a dull,
12:11frequent ache,
12:12began to pull
12:13at my belly.
12:17At first,
12:18I thought it was just
12:19another pregnancy symptom,
12:20but the pain
12:21grew more frequent,
12:23aching more
12:23each passing day.
12:25One night,
12:26when I was in the bathroom,
12:27I saw brown spotting
12:28on my underwear.
12:30My heart instantly sank.
12:31That was a sign
12:32of a miscarriage.
12:33I didn't make a scene.
12:35The next morning,
12:36I quietly had the family doctor
12:37to run a full checkup on me.
12:39As the results came back,
12:40her expression
12:41grew increasingly grim.
12:44From your blood test result,
12:46there's a drug
12:47strictly permitted
12:48to use during pregnancy.
12:49I stared at the report,
12:51my fingers slowly tightening
12:52until the paper crumpled.
12:55How did I take it?
12:56Most likely food
12:57or supplements.
12:58It's tasteless
12:59when mixed into food.
13:00Without a blood panel,
13:01it's almost impossible
13:02to detect.
13:03Who else knows about this?
13:04For now,
13:05just you and me.
13:06Keep it that way.
13:07Not a word to anyone.
13:09The doctor hesitated.
13:10Not even...
13:12Mr. Voss?
13:13Especially not him.
13:15I'll take care of it myself.
13:20I ordered my doctor
13:21to take daily samples
13:22of every meal and supplement
13:23I touched
13:24and run them through the lab.
13:25I also reached out
13:26to a private investigator
13:27on the side.
13:28I need you to dig
13:29into someone for me.
13:30I sent him Mia's photo
13:32and the address
13:32to the coffee shop.
13:34I want to know
13:35everyone she's been
13:36seeing lately.
13:37Everyone.
13:38Detective Chen
13:38is a Chinese-American investigator.
13:40He's been in the game
13:41for 20 years
13:42and has never missed a mark.
13:44Give me three days.
13:45Three days later,
13:46Detective Chen
13:47sent over the first batch of files.
13:49Over the past month,
13:50Mia had been a regular
13:51at a small clinic in Queens.
13:53The clinic is owned
13:54by a Chinese doctor
13:55named Victor Chang.
13:56He has a criminal record
13:57for illegal prescriptions.
13:59Chen also tracked
14:00a $50,000 cash deposit
14:02into Mia's account
14:03from a month ago.
14:0450 grand?
14:05A coffee shop clerk
14:06with 50 grand?
14:07Where's it coming from?
14:08Harvey gave it to her.
14:10She was trying
14:11to be smart too.
14:12She broke the cash down
14:13into several different
14:14accounts to bury the trail.
14:16Which one did she use
14:17to pay for the meds?
14:18An offshore account
14:19she opened last year.
14:2110 days ago,
14:22she wired $30,000
14:23from that account
14:24to Victor Chang's clinic.
14:26I stared at the screen,
14:27my fingers slowly curling
14:28into a fist.
14:29She'd bribed a crooked doctor
14:30for abortion pills.
14:32But then,
14:32what?
14:33How did she manage
14:34to slip them into my food?
14:38I didn't say a word.
14:39I just had the family doctor
14:41continue taking daily samples
14:42for testing.
14:43At the same time,
14:44I put Chen on the trail
14:45of everyone in the kitchen.
14:47The truth finally surfaced
14:48in the fifth week.
14:49Detective Chen sent over
14:51a surveillance video.
14:522 in the morning.
14:53The manor's back kitchen.
14:54In the video,
14:55a woman in chef's whites
14:56sneaks into the kitchen.
14:58She takes out a small packet
14:59and dumps the powder
15:00into a stew pot.
15:01Pat covered half her face.
15:03Yet I knew exactly
15:03who it was.
15:04Maria,
15:05an assistant cook.
15:06Mexican.
15:07She's been with the Wirth family
15:09for six years.
15:10Along with the video,
15:11Detective Chen provided
15:12a detailed dossier on Maria.
15:14Four cash deposits
15:15totaling $20,000
15:16all hit her account
15:18within the last 90 days.
15:20The deposit dates
15:20matched the poisoning dates
15:22perfectly.
15:22The most damning evidence,
15:24however,
15:24was a recording Detective Chen
15:25caught of Mia
15:26talking to her best friend.
15:31Detective Chen took a room
15:32facing Mia's place,
15:34setting up long-range cameras
15:35and directional audio.
15:36Mia and her best friend
15:38were drinking and chatting
15:39in the apartment,
15:40all caught on tape.
15:41So, how was Paris?
15:43The old guy is so stingy.
15:45All I got was a single Chanel bag,
15:47barely 5,000 euros.
15:49Do you know what Harvey
15:50bought me last time in Paris?
15:51A Cartita watch?
15:5330 grand.
15:54Harvey is way more open-handed.
15:56Then why are you still
15:57hanging around the old man?
15:58An old husband has his benefits.
16:00I told him,
16:01the moment he adds my name
16:02to the trust,
16:03I'll marry him.
16:05And what about Harvey?
16:07Harvey is just a backup.
16:10He's powerless in his own family.
16:12Why would I bet my future
16:13on a loser like that?
16:14Weren't you drugging his wife?
16:16Is she still holding on?
16:17She's tougher to kill
16:18than I thought.
16:19All those doses
16:20and she's still standing.
16:22No matter.
16:22I'm coming up with a new plan.
16:24The evidence was set in stone.
16:26That night,
16:27I called Harvey into my study.
16:32I laid the phone on the table
16:34and hit play.
16:35Listen.
16:36Weren't you drugging his wife?
16:38Is she still holding on?
16:39When did you record this?
16:41Last week.
16:42She was talking to her bestie
16:44at her apartment.
16:45You're wiretapping her?
16:47Yes.
16:48He looked up, frowning.
16:49Do you realize
16:50that's illegal?
16:53She's trying to kill my child
16:55and you're talking to me
16:56about the law?
16:57He opened his mouth
16:58but couldn't find
16:59a single word.
17:00Harvey.
17:01I looked him dead in the eye.
17:02Are you still going
17:03to protect her?
17:04I...
17:05He clutched his head.
17:06I just need time
17:07to process this.
17:09Need time
17:09to process this?
17:11Your wife has been drugged
17:12for five weeks.
17:14Your child's life
17:15was on the line
17:16and you need time
17:17to process?
17:18That's what I might meant.
17:19Then what did you mean?
17:20I'm saying I...
17:22He faltered,
17:23his silence more deafening
17:25than any scream.
17:29I have to confront Mia.
17:30I need to ask her
17:31face to face.
17:33By all means, go.
17:35Watch her play the victim.
17:37Watch her cry
17:38and tell you it wasn't her.
17:41Chloe!
17:41I walked out of the room,
17:42leaving his excuses behind.
17:44I'm done.
17:46Take all the time
17:46you need to process it.
17:48And he did.
17:49Harvey went straight
17:50to Mia.
17:51Detective Chen
17:52followed him
17:52and sent me
17:53a live feed of the scene.
17:55In Mia's apartment,
17:56Harvey sat on the sofa
17:57while Mia sat beside him,
17:59crying her eyes out,
18:00Mia.
18:00Harvey, you have to believe me.
18:02I never did
18:03any of those things.
18:05It's a setup.
18:06It's Chloe.
18:07She's been out
18:08to get me since day one.
18:10Harvey remained silent
18:11for a long time.
18:12What about the audio then?
18:14Was your conversation
18:15with your friend
18:15a setup too?
18:16Mia's crying
18:17hit a sudden snag.
18:19Audio?
18:21Harvey,
18:21I don't understand.
18:25The part when you
18:26called me a backup,
18:27you said you'd only take over
18:29once my wife was out of the room.
18:31The room went dead silent.
18:35Seconds later,
18:36Mia erupted
18:36into even more violent sobbing.
18:38That's someone mimicking
18:39my voice!
18:40Harvey,
18:41don't you even recognize me?
18:44We've been together
18:45for ten years!
18:47Harvey fell silent again.
18:48A text from Detective Chen
18:49popped up.
18:50He's buying it.
18:51Look at his face.
18:52I zoomed in on the video feed.
18:55Harvey reached out
18:56and gently patted Mia's back.
18:58Don't cry.
19:00His voice was incredibly gentle.
19:02I'll get to the bottom of this.
19:03I shut off the video.
19:05Harvey didn't make it back
19:06to the manor
19:07until 2 a.m.
19:08The next morning,
19:09I ran into him
19:10in the dining room.
19:12He looked visibly unsettled
19:14when our eyes met.
19:15Wait!
19:16Don't touch that.
19:17I've ordered a full screening
19:19on every dish
19:20in this kitchen.
19:21Stay away from the food here
19:22until we're in the clear.
19:23So you've finally
19:24come to your senses?
19:26I'm simply eliminating
19:27any potential risks.
19:28He looked away,
19:30avoiding my eyes.
19:31It's about the baby.
19:32Nothing more.
19:34After that,
19:35Harvey began vetting
19:36every single meal
19:37served to me.
19:38Mia's window
19:39to slip me anything
19:40was slammed shut.
19:41Still,
19:42I knew she wasn't
19:43the type to just give up.
19:47Six months
19:48into my pregnancy,
19:49Detective Chen
19:50sent over
19:51an urgent update.
19:54Mia's been in contact
19:55with a guy named Dirk.
19:56He's ex-Special Forces.
19:58Now he does
19:59private security,
20:00but he's known
20:01for taking
20:01under-the-table jobs.
20:03They've met three times.
20:05After the last meeting,
20:06she wired him 50 grand.
20:08For what?
20:10Still digging.
20:11But a guy like Dirk
20:13doesn't waste time
20:13on petty schemes.
20:14If he moves,
20:15he's going for the kill.
20:17Keep your eyes on them.
20:18That weekend,
20:19Mrs. Voss suggested
20:20hitting the mall
20:21to pick up some baby gear.
20:22I wasn't in the mood,
20:23but she was so excited
20:25I couldn't bear
20:26to rain on her parade.
20:27Harvey tried to bail,
20:28but Mrs. Voss
20:29wouldn't take no
20:30for an answer.
20:31The mall was packed.
20:32I was browsing
20:33the nursery section
20:34while Harvey stood
20:35a few feet away,
20:36glued to his phone.
20:37I locked eyes
20:38with a man in a baseball cap
20:40and a mask.
20:41My pupils dilated,
20:42and every alarm bell
20:44in my head went off.
20:45His hand was pressed
20:46against his waist.
20:47The unmistakable move
20:48for a gun.
20:49The second he pulled
20:50the trigger,
20:51I tried to dive
20:52out of the way,
20:52but the pregnancy
20:53made me too slow.
20:55The bullet grazed my arm,
20:56leaving a searing burn behind.
20:58My body lost its balance,
20:59and I started
21:00falling backwards.
21:02The stairs
21:02were right behind me.
21:04My mind went
21:05totally blank.
21:06All I could see
21:07were the lights
21:07on the ceiling spinning.
21:09Then came Mrs. Voss's
21:10scream,
21:10and Harvey's roar,
21:12and the chaotic cries
21:14of the panicked heart.
21:18When I woke up,
21:19I was in the hospital.
21:21I immediately felt
21:22for my bump.
21:23It was still there,
21:24hard and heavy
21:25against my palms.
21:26Baby's safe.
21:28A gravelly voice
21:29came from beside me.
21:31I turned my head.
21:32Harvey was sitting
21:33by the bed.
21:34The doctor said,
21:35your hands hit
21:36the ground first.
21:37You broke the fall.
21:38Without that reflex,
21:39the baby wouldn't
21:40have made it.
21:40He kept his head down,
21:42not daring to meet my eyes.
21:45We got him.
21:47He handed me his phone.
21:48The video showed
21:49a bird's eye view
21:50from a chopper.
21:51Our private security team
21:53and police cruisers
21:54had the guy boxed him.
21:56They shot out his tires
21:57to force him to a halt,
21:58then dragged him
21:59from the car
21:59and slapped on the cuffs.
22:02This man's name is Dirk.
22:04The words were squeezed
22:05from the very depths
22:06of his throat.
22:07Mia hired him.
22:08The hospital room
22:09fell silent
22:10for a long time.
22:13I asked,
22:14is this enough proof for you?
22:15He didn't answer.
22:16Then I heard a soft,
22:17nearly inaudible sob.
22:20I'm sorry.
22:21I'm so sorry.
22:23Chloe, I'm sorry.
22:27Mia was apprehended
22:28at the airport.
22:29She had already bought
22:31a one-way ticket to Paris.
22:32Her carry-on was stuffed
22:34to the brim
22:34with jewelry and cash.
22:36Police turned up
22:37even more evidence
22:38during the raid
22:38on her apartment.
22:40The indictment read,
22:41attempted murder,
22:42instigating aggravated assault
22:44and drug possession.
22:46The prosecution
22:47is pushing
22:47for a 15-year sentence.
22:49Mia had a total meltdown
22:50in the courtroom.
22:51She screamed at Harvey
22:52like a cornered animal.
22:54How could you do this to me?
22:56You said you loved me.
22:58You promised you'd marry me.
23:00Harvey sat in the gallery,
23:02his face like stone,
23:02but none of that
23:03mattered anymore.
23:04What mattered
23:05was that my son was born.
23:07A healthy delivery,
23:088 pounds, 6 ounces,
23:09a beautiful boy.
23:11Labor lasted
23:11for 14 grueling hours.
23:13Harvey never left my side
23:15as the contractions
23:16tore through me.
23:17He held my hands so tight,
23:19his own tears never stopping.
23:22Chloe, keep going.
23:23Please.
23:24Just a little longer.
23:25The moment the baby was born,
23:27he held that wrinkled
23:28little thing
23:28and cried like a fool.
23:30Thank you, thank you, Chloe.
23:31I didn't have the strength
23:32to answer him,
23:33but looking at his tear-streaked face,
23:36something inside me
23:37suddenly softened.
