05:29What's the matter, General?
05:32You don't trust my medical expertise?
05:35Or are you suggesting I'm seeping, seek you ache, some kind of personal revenge?
05:41Then she looked around the room, straight at the doctors.
05:44What do you all think?
05:46Dr. Monroe is one of the best in the world. Of course we trust her.
05:49Absolutely. If she takes the case herself, Miss Hayes should be grateful.
05:52Dad's face went dark.
05:56He knew exactly what Mom was doing.
05:58She had him cornered, and he definitely couldn't admit she was getting payback.
06:03Because if he did, he'd be dragging family dirt into the open.
06:08He'd be admitting he couldn't control his own house.
06:15For a man like him, that was humiliation.
06:18Jane sat there in the wheelchair, shaking with rage.
06:22Beneath the bandages, her hands awakened in pain.
06:25Jane, she glared at my mom, pure hatred in her eyes.
06:29Audrey Monroe, don't get too smug!
06:32Vinicent won't let you get away with this!
06:34She walked over to Jane's wheelchair.
06:38Miss Hayes, relax.
06:40The first step in nerve rehab is electrical stimulation.
06:44Don't worry.
06:44I'll handle it myself.
06:46I'll make sure the voltage is just right.
06:49Electrical stimulation.
06:52That wasn't treatment.
06:53That sounded like torture.
07:05God damn it, that's enough!
07:07Audrey!
07:09Do you really have to take it this far?
07:12I'm the one taking it too far?
07:15Vincent, when you brought this woman into our home, did you stop and think about me for one second?
07:20When you pointed a gun at me for her, did you remember I'm your wife?
07:25When you let her bully your daughter, did you remember you're supposed to be her father?
07:30You did this.
07:32Step by step.
07:33You're the one who pushed it this far.
07:35The whole dining room went dead silent.
07:38Dad's lips moved.
07:39But no word came out.
07:41Come on, sweetie.
07:42Let's go home.
07:46After that night, Dad caved.
07:48So Jane's rehab plan was locked in.
07:51The treatment would happen at the private recovery center, the one Dad built for Mom as a gift.
07:56The very next day, Mom packed me up and moved us there.
08:00The place was beautiful, like a fairytale estate.
08:04Everyone there bowed their heads when they saw Mom.
08:07They respected her, and they were scared of her.
08:11Jane's treatment room was in the very back.
08:13I snuck over once.
08:16Through the thick glass, I saw Jane strapped to a treatment bed.
08:21Mom stood over her in a white coat and a face mask.
08:25She held two metal probes in her hands, moved them slowly along Jane's arm.
08:29Every time they touched her, Jane's whole body jolted.
08:33And then came the screaming.
08:36I ran all the way back to my room.
08:41Dad came to see me once.
08:44His eyes were bloodshot.
08:46Even his uniform looked wrinkled.
08:48He picked me up and held me close.
08:51Sienna, I know your mom got hurt.
08:54But Jane...
08:56She doesn't deserve this.
08:59You need to talk to your mom.
09:01Tell her to stop.
09:03If this keeps going, Jane's gonna lose her mind.
09:06I asked him.
09:07Dad, do you still love Mom?
09:10He didn't answer.
09:11He froze.
09:14Like somehow I could keep him from falling apart.
09:17Sienna, the adult world is very complicated.
09:20You'll understand when you're older.
09:22I didn't understand.
09:24I just knew Mom wasn't happy.
09:27A month later, they brought her out.
09:30She was so thin, she barely looked human.
09:36Don't shock me again, please.
09:39Please don't shock me again.
09:41She'd lost her mind.
09:42When Dad came to take her home,
09:44he saw what was left of her.
09:47But he didn't yell at Mom.
09:49He didn't rage.
09:50He just looked at her.
09:52Audrey, you win.
09:55The war just started.
09:58Dad carried Jane out of the center, Dot.
10:00And I really thought that was the end of it.
10:03I was wrong.
10:05Dad hit back fast.
10:07And he hit harder.
10:09He wasn't coming for Mom's career or her reputation.
10:12He was coming for the thing she loved most.
10:15Me.
10:17Dad pulled strings to have me transferred out.
10:20He sent me to some remote boarding school.
10:23Run like a military camp.
10:26Your mom had made you soft.
10:29You need to be toughened up.
10:30It's for you.
10:32You lay one hand on her, Vincent.
10:34Just try it.
10:37Or what, Audrey?
10:38You'll do what?
10:40Don't forget.
10:41I'm Sienna's legal guardian.
10:43I get to decide how she's raised.
10:45You like playing games so much?
10:48Fine.
10:49Let's really play.
10:52Let's see who's better at this.
10:55Your little torture tricks.
10:56Or the way I train fresh recruits.
11:00Mom was shaking with rage.
11:02But she couldn't stop him.
11:05An order from him was law.
11:08Nobody said no.
11:12They took me away in a military jeep.
11:16Dot Mom chased the car down the long driveway.
11:18I pressed my face against the back window.
11:21Watching her get smaller.
11:23And smaller Dot.
11:24Until she was just a Dot.
11:26Then gone.
11:27That place wasn't a school.
11:29It was hell on earth.
11:33The drill instructors all called Dad General.
11:36And they gave me special treatment.
11:38I was five.
11:39And they made me train with boys twice my age.
11:41Every morning started at five.
11:43Then a six mile run with weight on our backs.
11:45If you didn't finish, you didn't eat.
11:47In the daytime, it was hand to hand drills.
11:49Shooting practice.
11:50Obstacle courses.
11:51My body was too small.
11:53I couldn't keep up.
11:55When I fell, no one helped me up.
11:57All I got was a bark in my face.
11:58The General's daughter, and this is all you've got?
12:01Don't embarrass your father!
12:05What are you crying for?
12:07Tears are for cowards!
12:09At night, I'd lie on a cold metal slab they called a bed.
12:12My body covered in bruises.
12:13I missed my mom so much it felt like a physical pain in my chest.
12:17Then I started getting sick.
12:19A lot.
12:19High fevers.
12:21One after another.
12:22The base doctor would just give me a shot.
12:24The General's orders.
12:25A little sickness builds character.
12:27Sweat it out.
12:29I really thought I was going to die there.
12:31Then one night, during a storm, the fever came back worse than ever.
12:34I was lying there half out of it, burning up and freezing at the same time.
12:38Then the dorm door got kicked open.
12:40A tall figure stood in the doorway, all backlit and dark.
12:43Rain dripped off his cap.
12:44It was Dad.
12:45He put his hand on my forehead.
12:46I was burning.
12:47He went quiet for a long time.
12:49Then he pulled out his phone and made a call.
12:51Audrey, want to see your daughter?
12:53Come to the old chemical plant on the west side.
12:55Alone.
12:56And don't try anything.
12:57Then he looked down at me.
12:59Or you can come pick up her body.
13:01Then he hung up.
13:02He yanked me out of bed, wrapped me in a blanket, and threw me into the car.
13:07I had no idea where he was taking me.
13:09But I knew one thing.
13:10There was no love left in his eyes.
13:12Just hate.
13:14Wild, ugly hate.
13:15He hadn't sent me away to make me stronger.
13:17He was using me to break Mom.
13:21That guy tied me to an old steel pillar.
13:23My fever was getting worse.
13:25Everything around me started to blur.
13:27The abandoned chemical plant was a monster, hiding in the dark.
13:30The air reeked of rust and chemicals.
13:33I just kept crying for Mom.
13:35Dad crouched down in front of me.
13:37He used his rough hand to wipe the tears off my face.
13:40Sienna, don't be scared.
13:42Your mom will be here soon.
13:44Dad just wants to play a little game with her.
13:47A game about choice.
13:48A few minutes later, tires screamed outside.
13:52The sound ripped through the storm.
13:54Mom was here, and she really came alone.
13:56She wore a thin trench coat, soaked through.
13:59Her hair was a mess, plastered to her face.
14:02She looked broken.
14:03Then she saw me, tied to the pillar.
14:05Vincent!
14:08You bastard!
14:09Let her go!
14:11Dad laughed.
14:13Then he stepped right between us.
14:14Easy, Audrey.
14:15He pointed to a massive industrial tank not far from us.
14:19See that?
14:20It's full of high-grade sulfuric acid.
14:22If she doesn't get treated now, it'll fry her brain.
14:25What do you want?
14:26Dad reached into his pocket and pulled out a small remote.
14:29Simple.
14:31This button tips the tank, so you have a choice.
14:34Jump in the acid, or watch your precious daughter burn into a vegetable!
14:39I'll give you ten seconds.
14:41Ten, nine, eight.
14:44Each number hit like a cold hammer, like death was counting down in front of us.
14:48My mother looked at me, and the tears finally came.
14:51Her eyes carried despair, pain, and endless regret.
14:54Regret for ever falling for a man like him.
14:56Regret for staying tangled up with him.
14:58And finally let her child pay the price.
15:01Three.
15:02Two.
15:03I'll do it!
15:04Then she started walking toward that tank.
15:08I'll jump!
15:09She turned back and looked at me one last time.
15:11Sienna, I'm sorry.
15:13Mom loves you.
15:14Then she shut her eyes and jumped.
15:17No!
15:18And right then, loud sirens, closing in fast.
15:22The whole plant lit up.
15:24Flashlights cut through the dark from every direction.
15:26SWAT team, armed to the teeth.
15:29Dad was surrounded.
15:30The smile on Dad's face froze.
15:32He stared at everything around him like his brain just stopped working.
15:36You...
15:36You called the cops?
15:37Then someone stepped out from behind the SWAT team.
15:40I knew him.
15:41He was the director of the recovery center.
15:43Mom's most trusted right-hand man.
15:45He walked over to the tank, looked inside, then turned back to Dad with this almost pitying smile.
15:51General, you lost.
15:53Mrs. Audrey knew you'd use Miss Sienna to force her hand.
15:56So she had the sulfur acid swapped out ahead of time.
15:58It's all water.
15:59Dad went completely still.
16:01He looked at the tank, then at Mom.
16:03Standing there, alive.
16:04His expression shifted from shock, to fury, to absolute crushing defeat.
16:08He collapsed to the floor like some old lion with its teeth ripped out.
16:12Audrey, you're colder than I ever knew.
16:14Mom climbed out of the tank.
16:15She was soaked through, but her eyes were blazing.
16:19She walked straight up to Dad and said every word slowly.
16:22Vincent, I told you.
16:23The war was just getting started.
16:27You really thought kidnapping Sienna would break me?
16:30You still have no idea what a mother will do!
16:34And you think way too highly of yourself.
16:37It happened fast after that.
16:39Abuse of power.
16:40Malicious retaliation.
16:42Kidnapping his own daughter.
16:44He was taken away by a military court for investigation.
16:47Overnight, the Carter family came crashing down.
16:51Mom took me back to the recovery center.
16:53After the fever broke, I was sick for weeks.
16:56Mom never left my side.
16:58She gave me every dose of medicine herself.
17:00Wiped me down when I was sweating through the sheets.
17:02Sat by my bed and told me story after story until I fell asleep.
17:06Her arms were still warm.
17:07She still held me like I was her whole world.
17:10But something had changed.
17:12I could feel it.
17:13When she looked at me now, there was still love.
17:15But there was something else too.
17:17Something sharp.
17:18Something watchful.
17:19Something I was too young to name.
17:21Six months later, Dad's sentence came down.
17:24He lost everything.
17:26His rank.
17:27His honors.
17:28He was discharged in disgrace and sentenced to ten years.
17:32The decorated general, who used to stand straight with a chest full of medals.
17:36Now he was just an inmate in a cell.
17:38The day the news came in, Mom was trimming one of her orchids.
17:41She did it slowly.
17:44Like she was finishing a piece of art.
17:49I shook my head.
17:51I didn't even know what hate really was.
17:53I just felt sad.
17:54Mom set the shears down and ran a hand over my hair.
17:57That's good.
17:58Hate wears you out.
18:01The cleanest way to deal with someone is to cut them out of your world.
18:07Like trimming away the dead leaves.
18:09She pointed to the clipped leaves on the polished white floor.
18:13A moment later, the maid swept them up, and they were gone.
18:16From that day on, Mom started teaching me different things.
18:20No more fairy tales.
18:22No more piano.
18:23She taught me anatomy.
18:24Every bone.
18:25Every artery.
18:27Every nerve.
18:28She taught me chemistry.
18:29What poisons were made of.
18:31How they moved through the body.
18:33What they ruined first.
18:34She taught me psychology, too.
18:37How to read people.
18:38How to find their weaknesses and exploit them.
18:40Deanna, I can't protect you forever.
18:42The sharpest weapon in this world isn't a gun or knife.
18:46It's your mind.
18:47You have to be stronger than everyone.
18:49Smarter than everyone.
18:50Colder than everyone.
18:52That's the only way nobody will ever hurt you again.
18:54And little by little, I became her masterpiece.
18:57Calm.
18:58Logical.
18:59Cold.
19:00Then ten years were just...
19:01Gone.
19:03The year I turned fifteen, Dad got out.
19:05He looked old.
19:06And whatever fire used to live in his eyes, he came to find us.
19:10He just stood there, a few yards away.
19:13Sienna, you're all grown up now.
19:15I didn't answer him.
19:16I just kept watering the flowers.
19:18Mon's black tunips.
19:20Black swa.
19:20That's what she called them.
19:22He nervously twist his hands, then pulled something out from behind his back.
19:25An old rag doll.
19:27This used to be your favorite.
19:28I kept it all these years.
19:30I looked at it.
19:31He'd brought it back from a trip overseas when I was five.
19:34Later, Jane had thrown it in the trash.
19:36What do you want?
19:37Sienna, I know I was wrong.
19:39For ten years, that's all I've done.
19:41Think about what I did.
19:43Regret it.
19:44Can you...
19:45Can you ask your mom to see me?
19:46I want to tell her I'm sorry.
19:48I just want one meeting.
19:50One.
19:51He was practically begging.
19:52Then Mom stepped out of the house.
19:54She wore a flowing white dress.
19:55Ten years hadn't taken anything from her.
19:57If anything, she looked more royal and untouchable.
20:00She stood at the top of the steps, looking down at him like he was a stranger.
20:05Vincent.
20:07Why are you here?
20:09The second he saw her, his whole body shook.
20:12He took a few quick steps forward, then stopped.
20:16Audrey.
20:19I...
20:20Get out!
20:21That was all she said.
20:23Two words.
20:24His fists clenched.
20:26The begging in his eyes curdled into bitterness.
20:30Then hate.
20:31Audrey!
20:32Don't push me!
20:33I already paid for what I did!
20:36What more do you want from me?
20:39You really can't tolerate me?
20:41I'm still Sianna's father!
20:44Mom smiled.
20:45It was colder than the ice in winter.
20:47Father?
20:48A man who used his own daughter as a weapon?
20:50Vincent, you don't get to use that word.
20:52I'm warning you!
20:53Get out!
20:53And you never show your face here again!
20:55Or I will gladly send you back for another ten years.
20:58He snapped.
21:00Audrey!
21:00You poisonous bitch!
21:02You did this!
21:04You ruined my whole life!
21:06He lunged at her like a wild animal.
21:08I moved without thinking and stepped in front of Mom.
21:11But he swerved past me.
21:13His target was never Mom.
21:14It was the tulips behind me.
21:16The black tulips.
21:18Those flowers were priceless.
21:20Mom had spent ten years importing, crossbreeding, and growing them into perfection.
21:24They were her masterpiece.
21:25The thing she planned to unveil at an international flower show.
21:28He wanted to destroy them.
21:30Just like he tried to destroy me ten years ago.
21:32He wanted to wreck the one thing Mom loved most.
21:35But before his foot even hit the flower bed, he let out this awful scream.
21:39Then he dropped.
21:40Straight down.
21:41His whole body locked up.
21:42Then started jerk-spilled from the corner of his mouth.
21:44His eyes rolled back.
21:45A heart attack.
21:46A massive, bad one.
21:48Mom just stood there and watched him thrash on the ground.
21:51No panic.
21:52No rush.
21:52No pity.
21:53She took out her phone and called 911.
21:57Hello?
21:58We have a cardiac emergency at Rosewood Recovery Center.
22:01Her voice was calm.
22:02Dot so calm it could have been a weather report.
22:04She gave them the address.
22:06Then hung up.
22:08After that, she walked over to me.
22:10She gently stroked the velvety petal of a black tulip.
22:13You see, sweetie?
22:14Trash belongs where trash belongs.
22:17Then she glanced at him on the ground.
22:19Polluting my garden.
22:21What a mess.
22:23The ambulance screamed away, its siren fading into the distance.
22:27By the time they loaded Dad in, he had fallen into a deep coma.
22:30I stood there staring at that rag ball on the ground.
22:32A storm of emotions churning inside me.
22:34Mom walked over, picked up the doll, and tossed it into the trash.
22:38Useless trash.
22:40Just takes up space.
22:41Then she took my hand and led me into the study.
22:44On the wall was this huge medical chart.
22:47A full map of the human nervous system.
22:49Mom raised a finger and pointed right at the heart.
22:52See this?
22:52The vagus nerve.
22:54Stimulate it just right with a specific drug or chemical.
22:57And the heart rate plummets.
22:58Blood pressure crashes.
22:59It induces cardiac arrest.
23:01It looks exactly like a natural heart attack.
23:03Then she turned and looked at me.
23:05Her eyes were sharp.
23:06Sienna, want to guess how I did it?
23:08A chill shot straight down my back.
23:11And then I remembered.
23:13When Dad charged at her, I stepped in front of Mom without even thinking.
23:18I was still holding the little garden sprayer.
23:21Inside it was the plant food Mom had mixed herself.
23:24Just a few drops had splashed onto Dad's hand.
23:27By accident.
23:29The plant food?
23:33My voice came out shaky.
23:35Mom nodded.
23:37Almost proud.
23:38Smart girl.
23:39It was a custom neurotoxin.
23:42Colorless.
23:43Odorless.
23:43It absorbs through skin contact.
23:46The onset time depends on the dose and absorption rate.
23:49I calculated it perfectly.
23:51Just enough time for him to reach my flower bed before it hit.
23:53She sounded like a professor explaining a complex equation.
23:56But the answer to her equation was a man's life.
24:00Mom.
24:01You...
24:01You wanted to kill him?
24:03Kill?
24:04No.
24:05I just wanted him to shut up for good.
24:07A dead man doesn't talk.
24:09And neither does a vegetable.
24:10He can't run around ruining my name that way.
24:12This is better for you.
24:14And better for the estate.
24:15She said it like it was obvious.
24:17Like there was nothing wrong with it at all.
24:19And right then, I finally understood what she meant ten years ago.
24:22When she told Dad,
24:24The war was just getting started.
24:25She never wanted to send him to prison.
24:28That was never the end game.
24:29What she wanted was to erase him.
24:32Completely.
24:33Like he'd never existed at all.
24:35Three days later, the hospital called.
24:37Dad survived.
24:38But his brain had gone too long without oxygen.
24:40He was in a vegetulative state.
24:42They transferred him to our family's recovery center.
24:44They put him in the same room Jane used to stay in.
24:47Mom personally designed his rehab plan.
24:49Every day, I watched the nurses wheel him down the hall.
24:52Straight into that treatment room.
24:54The same one that used to echo with Jane's screams.
24:57I never knew exactly what happened in there.
24:59Nobody told me.
25:00But I could see what it was doing to him.
25:03Day by day, Dad got thinner.
25:05Smaller.
25:06Weaker.
25:06Like a plant being slowly starved of water and light.
25:09And outside, in the garden, Mom's black swan tulips kept blooming.
25:13Richer.
25:14Darker.
25:15On my 18th birthday, Mom threw me a massive debut party.
25:19It was held right there in the grand ballroom at the estate.
25:22This is my daughter, Sienna.
25:24And one day, this estate will be hers.
25:27People clapped and smiled.
25:29Military brass.
25:31Political elites.
25:32Top physicians.
25:33Who ran half the city with a phone call.
25:35And all I could feel was pressure.
25:38I couldn't breathe.
25:40It was the most beautiful cage I had ever seen.
25:42Halfway through the party, the doors burst open.
25:45An uninvited guest walked in.
25:47It's Jane.
25:48And behind her stood several uniformed cops.
25:51Audrey!
25:51The whole room went dead silent.
25:55Ten years!
25:56And I'm finally back!
25:59I'm back to show everyone the monster you really are!
26:02Then she turned to the officers and raised her voice.
26:05Officers, I want to file a report.
26:07Ten years ago, Audrey assaulted me and left my hands damaged forever.
26:11Ten years ago, she framed her own husband, Vincent, and sent him to prison.
26:16And not long ago, she poisoned him and turned him into a vegetable!
26:20She is a murderer!
26:22The room exploded in whispers.
26:25Every single eye was on my mother.
26:27But Mom didn't flinch.
26:29She took a sip of her champagne.
26:33Jane, Jane, you can make up whatever story you want.
26:37But if you're going to accuse me of something, where's your proof?
26:41Proof?
26:41Jane laughed, a harsh, ugly sound.
26:44She pulled a thick file from her briefcase and slammed it down on a table.
26:48This is the proof!
26:49For ten years, I have spent every single day digging up your dirt!
26:53I found the employee who switched the acid with water.
26:55He's ready to testify.
26:56I have the purchase records for the neurotoxin you used on Vincent.
26:59Audrey, this is the day you go down!
27:01The officers picked up the file and began to read.
27:04For the first time, Mom's expression shifted a little.
27:07But it wasn't fear.
27:08It was amusement.
27:10She looked at Jane like she was a joke with a bad ending.
27:12Jane, do you know your biggest weakness?
27:14You're stupid.
27:15And you're impatient.
27:16You really think finding a few scraps of paper means you can take me down?
27:20Did it ever cross your mind that maybe I wanted you to find the proof?
27:24Jane's face went pale.
27:25What the hell do you mean?
27:27Mom smiled.
27:28It means exactly what you think it means.
27:30I let you find all of it.
27:32And I let you walk in here tonight with the officers at your back.
27:35Then she snapped her fingers.
27:37The ballroom doors slammed shut.
27:39From every corner of the room, men in black suits emerged from the shadows.
27:43In seconds, Jane and the offices were completely surrounded.
27:46The whole ballroom became an iron box.
27:48Sealed, suffocating, inescapable.
27:51The guests gasped, shrinking back against the walls.
27:53Jane started to panic.
27:55Audrey, what are you doing?
27:57Are you insane?
27:59You're attacking police officers!
28:01Mom shook her head.
28:02She walked straight up to Jane.
28:04No, I'm just here to finish what I started ten years ago.
28:07I'm taking out the trash.
28:09For good.
28:11Jane's eyes went wide with terror.
28:14She tried to pull back, but two guards held her arms in a vice grip.
28:18Aubrey!
28:19Are you mad?
28:20There are people everywhere!
28:22They're all watching!
28:24Mom let out this soft little laugh.
28:26Then she picked up a microphone and faced the room.
28:30Everyone, I'm so sorry.
28:31We had a small interruption.
28:32Thank you for your patience.
28:34And now, please enjoy a special show I prepared for tonight.
28:39The second she finished speaking, the giant screen in the center of the ballroom lit up.
28:44Security footage started playing.
28:47And on that screen was Jane, sneaking into the records room, stealing files, meeting with disgruntled ex-employees, handing them
28:57envelopes thick with cash.
28:59Then, the final shot.
29:00Jane was in the arms of a man.
29:04I knew him.
29:05I knew that face.
29:07He had been dad's former aide.
29:10The one who betrayed him.
29:12The one who ended up at a military tribunal.
29:15After the whole plot blow up.
29:19He was out of prison.
29:22And all this time, he and Jane had been working together.
29:27Her crush on my father was a lie.
29:30It was all a long con.
29:33She wanted revenge.
29:36Revenge on the two people who ruined her lover's life.
29:41My father and my mother.
29:44When the video ended, the room went dead silent.
29:47No whispers.
29:49No gasps.
29:50No.
29:51No, that's not what happened.
29:53She set me up!
29:54Audrey set me up!
29:56Mom walked over to her.
29:57Her eyes were pure ice.
29:59Set you up?
30:00All I did was put your own actions on display.
30:03Ten years ago, you and your lover worked together to trap my husband.
30:06You tried to steal classified military intel.
30:08You nearly ruined his life.
30:10I took your hands.
30:11And I sent him to prison.
30:14That was me being merciful.
30:16But you learned nothing.
30:18You really thought I didn't know what you were doing all these years?
30:20Every person you tracked down, every meeting you set up, every word out of your mouth, I knew all of
30:27it.
30:28I kept you around because I wanted to see how much noise a stray dog could still make.
30:32And honestly, I'm disappointed.
30:35Every word hit Jane like a blade.
30:38The officers saw it too.
30:40They closed the files and stared coldly at Jane.
30:44Mrs. Jane, you need to come with us.
30:47We're reopening the investigation into the espionage case.
30:50Jane broke.
30:51Completely.
30:52She ripped free from the guards and lunged.
30:55Not at my mother.
30:56At me.
30:57Somehow, she had a knife.
30:58Audrey, if I can't kill you, I'll kill your daughter.
31:03Let's see how you feel when you lose the only thing you love.
31:06Everything happened too fast.
31:08Nobody moved in time.
31:10All I saw was the flash of steel coming at my heart.
31:13But it never re-reached me.
31:15My mother was there.
31:17She had stepped in front of me.
31:19The knife drove deep into her stomach.
31:21Blood spread across her white dress.
31:23Bright red.
31:24Violent.
31:25Like a rose blooming in fresh snow.
31:28It felt like someone hit mute on the whole world.
31:31I just watched her fall.
31:32And my mind just blanked out.
31:34Mom!
31:34I dropped to my knees and caught her before she hit the ground.
31:37Warm blood soaked through my dress.
31:39So sticky.
31:40So hot.
31:40Call an ambulance!
31:42Now!
31:43The whole ballroom erupted into chaos.
31:45Jane was taken down on the spot.
31:46And while Mom lay there in a pool of blood,
31:48Jane threw her head back and started laughing.
31:50Full-on manic.
31:52Audrey!
31:52You failed!
31:54In the end, you still fail!
31:56I couldn't hear her.
31:57I couldn't hear anyone.
31:58My whole world had narrowed down to one thing.
32:00Mom's breathing.
32:01Getting weaker.
32:02And weaker.
32:03Her hand clamped around mine.
32:04Her lips moved like she was trying to say something.
32:06I leaned down fast, putting my ear right by her mouth.
32:09Sienna.
32:10Don't be scared.
32:12Did you like my gift?
32:14I jerked my head up and looked at the chaos around me.
32:16And a terrible thought hit me like lightning.
32:18This was part of her plan, too.
32:20She had used her own life as the final gift for my coming of age.
32:23Was this the last lesson?
32:24The most brutal one of all.
32:26If you cut the weeds, you rip out the roots.
32:28She was using her own death to give Jane a life sentence.
32:31No parole.
32:31No escape.
32:32And with her blood, she was clearing the last obstacle from my path.
32:35Laying down the road to my future herself.
32:39The ambulance finally arrived.
32:41When they lifted Mom onto the stretcher, she used the last bit of strength to press something
32:46cold into my palm.
32:48It was the silver scalpel.
32:50The one she had polished over and over again.
32:53The blade caught the light.
32:54And in it, I saw my own face.
32:56Torn apart by tears.
32:58The hospital hallway was bright as day.
33:00But it felt like a freezer.
33:03The light above the OR stayed on for a long, long time.
33:06Then finally, it went out.
33:08The doctor walked toward me.
33:10He looked exhausted.
33:11He just shook his head.
33:15I'm sorry.
33:16We did everything we could.
33:18He said.
33:19I just stood there.
33:20I didn't cry.
33:21I didn't scream.
33:23I just tightened my grip on the scalpel in my hand.
33:26Okay, Mom.
33:27I got your present.
33:29You can rest now.
33:30From now on, I'll be you.
33:33A better you.
33:34A more perfect you.
33:37I will protect the kingdom you left me.
33:41And anyone who tries to touch it will be the next piece of trash on my operating table.
33:46I looked up toward the window at the end of the hallway.
33:49Inside it, people had passed peacefully.
33:53Outside it, the night was dark.
33:58And my war, it was just getting started.
