00:05i'm pregnant i bugged my daughter's husband jason but the desperate screams coming through
00:09the line belonged to my daughter emily i'm out working myself to the bone and you're out
00:15sleeping with other women my blood ran cold the sickening sounds of a physical struggle
00:20suddenly erupted on the line every terrified shriek every desperate sob from my daughter
00:26clawed brutally at my chest i bolted out of bed throwing on my coat my wife linda stirred beside
00:32me confused and worried frank where are you going this late but i already sprinted out the door
00:38when i started the car the noise on the line suddenly stopped
00:43then another voice came through carol jason's mother jesus christ what are you two doing this
00:49late at night oh my god the blood there's blood everywhere is she is she miscarrying emily wake
00:58up stop faking it get up she passed out you idiot i told you to keep your affairs quiet grab
01:06her
01:06get her to the hospital now their voices overlapped into chaotic noise doors slammed footsteps rushed
01:12everything blurred together my grip tightened on the steering wheel i'd suspected jason was cheating for
01:18weeks a friend saw him sneaking out of a motel with some blonde i didn't tell emily i just wanted
01:24proof to protect my little girl so when emily left on a business trip i invited jason over for drinks
01:29once he was drunk i took his phone and planted the bug i never thought things would spiral as fast
01:35i called jason immediately the call was declined seconds later a text popped up on my screen
01:41frank i'm in a late meeting can't talk are you kidding me i furiously dialed again sorry the number
01:48you dialed what the fuck is going on i tried carol's power off jason's voice came through the bug
01:57again urging for love turn the phone off her dad just called i don't know why now you're scared
02:04one call and you panic i slammed the steering wheel completely losing control i could hear every word
02:10they said but i couldn't reach them i didn't even know which hospital they were dragging my daughter to
02:14i slammed the gas pedal dialed 911 911 what is your emergency my daughter is pregnant and bleeding
02:21out her husband and his mother took her somewhere but i can't find her i need you to track them
02:26down
02:27tell me which hospital sir if they are already en route to a hospital they are getting care
02:33which one i almost shouted into the phone sorry sir due to hipaa privacy laws i cannot track or
02:40declare a patient's medical location if there's no active crime to report i have to clear this line
02:46the line went dead i sat in the speeding car gasping for air shaking with anger static fractured in my
02:52earpiece they had arrived at an er a doctor's voice cut through the chaos her water just broke and
02:58she's hemorrhaging heavily
03:02the patient is completely unresponsive prep the or for an emergency c-section right now
03:06carol instantly intercepted no absolutely not no surgery she must deliver naturally if you cut her
03:14open and something's wrong with a baby who pays ma'am this is life or death she cannot deliver naturally
03:20in a coma she will die don't you dare touch her she signed a strict advanced directive she is a
03:27firm
03:27believer in natural childbirth and absolutely refuses any surgical incisions tell them jason
03:33jason stammered frantically playing along yeah right if she were awake she'd never consent to the knife
03:39find a way to induce her naturally
03:43we are not signing anything no surgery if you dare cut her open i swear to god i'll make you
03:51regret it
03:52my vision blurred as rage flooded my entire body i scrambled through my contacts with shaking fingers
03:58then i called my old friend mark an attending physician at a major hospital the second he picked
04:02up a sob ripped out of my throat i couldn't hold it back mark please you have to save her
04:11frank breathe what happened i took a deep breath but couldn't stay calm words came out broken
04:16scattered barely connected blood screaming refusal lies everything mixed together my head burned as
04:23anger kept rising uncontrollably then his professional calm vanished wait carol is there with
04:29them right now yes oh god god frank that's bad that's really really bad if it was just a regular
04:39refusal
04:39to sign the hospital could invoke the emergency doctrine and save her anyway he took a sharp breath
04:44but that toxic bitch lied she lied about an advance oriental if a surgeon cuts her open against
04:51that it's classified as medical battery they wouldn't just lose their license on the spot they'd
04:56face criminal charges in prison time his voice cracked if carol produced something claiming emily
05:01refused surgery the hospital may freeze any operation until legal clears it and that delay could
05:07kill her tears blurred my vision they're killing two people how can they just stand by and watch her die
05:13mark sighed heavily their hands are tied by the law don't panic i'm pulling every string i have
05:19i'm calling every hospital contact i have right now we will find her no matter what it takes the call
05:25ended leaving silence inside the car i forced myself to stop panicking completely panic wouldn't save her
05:31thinking like logic focus on the logic i opened the map and mentally traced jason's driving ramp
05:38the driving time i heard was about eight to ten minutes they lived on the edge of the downtown
05:43district that gave me a search radius to work with hospitals filled the screen one after another
05:49five major hospitals four smaller community hospitals and one specialized maternity hospital
05:54nearby i sent all locations to mark okay i'll check the maternity hospital first the bug picked up
05:59voices from the hospital again a nurse was crying in the background her vitals are crashing
06:04if we don't operate now she won't survive jason's voice cracked clearly mom what do we do carol spoke
06:11again cold as ice hold on give us a minute we need to talk jesus the patient is crashing her
06:19heart rate
06:20is dropping we don't have time to discuss shut up who do you think you are talking to me like
06:25that
06:25the noise shifted footsteps moving away fast their voices dropped echoing in a hallway jason sounded
06:33terrified mom what do we do now should we just sign the damn papers and let them cut the baby
06:38out you
06:39spinless idiot why did i raise such a stupid son answer me this if she survives tonight do you think
06:48she'll stay married to you hell no she definitely divorced me exactly and when she divorces you what happens
06:56half your assets gone just like that and the baby goes with her you'll pay support raise a brat who
07:03hates you your life will be over but what if frank comes after us she dies in a hospital it's
07:10their liability
07:10what does that have to do with us her life is in our hands right now not signing isn't a
07:15crime
07:15understand and when she dies as her husband everything she owns goes to you anyway my god mom you thought
07:22of all that someone has to because you have no brain nor the doctors let me do the talking inside
07:28the car listening to them calculate the price of my daughter's life a monstrous rage boiled in my veins
07:33then my phone buzzed twice a text from mark checked six hospitals not there four left hang tight a text
07:41from my wife frank where did you go is something wrong looking at linda's text on the screen hot tears
07:46finally spilled down my face linda was my soul mate we raised emily together our only daughter
