Stolen Heir

Short filmTranscript
00:05Victoria, you bastard! Why can't you just accept me as your daughter? Why did you have to bring
00:11her back? Daughter I had loved for 16 years wanted to die with me. I pulled the trigger
00:17without mercy. The bullet left the gun. My mind went completely blank. Only that question echoed
00:24in her screams as she held the detonator. Why did you have to bring her back? Why? Because
00:30seven days ago I saw a cage in Colombia. I went to Colombia to inspect investment projects.
00:37I saw the woman in the cage at first glance. She was so thin she looked unrecognizable.
00:43She curled up in a corner like a dying dog, but her face looked 70% like my daughter's.
00:49So I felt pity. I decided to buy her. The boss absolutely refused. He cursed and pushed
00:56me out. During the argument someone tore off the woman's shirt. A tattoo on her waist was
01:02exposed. June 12, 2001 I froze because my daughter had an identical tattoo. I had personally tattooed
01:09it shortly after her birth, but she was now married to that congressman. She had become
01:13Mrs. Reed. She lived in a red brick mansion in Georgetown. She lived a carefree and happy
01:18life. At that moment I quickly realized something was wrong. I returned to the hotel immediately.
01:24I dialed the private investigator's number.
01:27Dig three feet deep and find the truth. Old White, the investigator, quickly agreed on
01:32the other end. I hung up. I immediately called my former security advisor at the CIA. I gave
01:38the next order. Go to that slum black market in Bogota. Find that woman. Buy her. No matter
01:43what you have to do. My heart pounded against my ribs. That number. That string of numbers.
01:50Others might not understand its meaning. But I knew at a single glance it was my daughter's
01:56birthday. At that time I was facing political attacks during the party primary. She was born
02:01early in a private clinic. Just in case I pricked the numbers onto her lower back one by one.
02:06Later, I turned the tide. I became a senior senator. When she just became an adult, I planned to
02:12remove the tattoo. But the doctor refused. He said the injury was too deep. It reached
02:17the dermis layer. Forced removal would leave a big scar. I was a little confused at the time.
02:22It was just cigarette ash. How could it go so deep? But the doctor said so, so I did not
02:27think much about it. But now I finally understood. My daughter had been switched long ago.
02:33Twenty minutes later, my security chief Barnes called. Ma'am, we got her out. The boss called
02:40the police. Local corrupt cops blocked the streets. We must leave by water now. Keep her alive at all
02:47costs. I gave the order through gritted teeth. I strode out of the hotel room. As I walked,
02:53I kept recalling the scene at the slum black market. That woman had no tongue. Her fingernails
02:59and toenails had all been pulled out. Her eyes were full of death. Who stole my own flesh and
03:06blood? Who tortured her into this terrible state? I got into the bulletproof car. I headed straight
03:12for the dock. The wind carried a salty smell into the car. From a distance, Barnes was already waiting
03:18on the deck with his men. The emaciated woman was lying on a stretcher. The private doctor on board
03:23was giving her a cardiac stimulant injection. Her condition is extremely bad. The doctor wiped
03:30the sweat from his forehead. Severe malnutrition. Multiple fractures were never set. They healed
03:36into deformities. Her vocal cords were destroyed by chemicals. The most fatal thing is the blood
03:42infection. She has survived until now only by sheer willpower. I stepped forward. I half-squatted
03:49beside the stretcher. I reached out my hand. I wanted to touch her face. She flinched violently.
03:55Her throat made a wheezing sound like a broken bellows. Resistance. Fear. Despair. I held back
04:02the sting in my nose. I withdrew my hand. Use the best medicine. Use the most advanced equipment.
04:09Whatever it takes, pull her back from the gates of death. The yacht cut through the waves. It headed
04:14toward the deep sea. I stood on the deck the whole night. When the horizon turned fish-belly
04:19white, Old White called again.
04:21Madam Senator, we found some clues. Your current daughter, Miss Reed, had a high fever when she
04:26was nine years old. At that time, you were abroad mediating a foreign policy bill involving national
04:32security. Your ex-husband took her to the hospital. The records of that private hospital show that after
04:37the fever subsided, Miss Reed's blood type changed. The hospital explained it as a wrong report from the
04:42lab at the time. But the lab director who signed it emigrated with his whole family the next month.
04:48Ex-husband, Edward Blake. He rose to power thanks to my family's political donations.
04:54I kicked him out for cheating with a female lobbyist. What a bastard. If it was him, everything
05:00made sense. He hated me for destroying his political future. So he stole my daughter. He replaced her with
05:07a bastard he had with some wild woman. Then he watched me hold that bastard in my hands. He watched
05:13me
05:13protect her like a treasure as she grew up. Good. Truly excellent. I hung up the phone. I looked at
05:20the
05:21woman on the stretcher. My own daughter was struggling to survive in the mud of a foreign land.
05:26Edward's bastard wore the title of a political family heir. She married a rising congressman. She wore gold and
05:32silver. I turned and walked into the cabin. I took out my tablet. I pulled up the financial system of
05:37the Capitol Hill caucus. My political action committee had suppressed Edward in recent years.
05:43But he was still hanging on in local elections thanks to his son-in-law, Congressman Reed. I looked
05:49at the data reports on the screen. A cold smile curled on my lips. I took out my phone. I
05:54dialed my chief
05:55of staff back home. Notify all caucus leaders. An emergency closed door meeting will be held at nine tomorrow
06:01morning. Also cut off all funding to every super cap under Edward's name. I want him on his knees begging
06:08me
06:08within three days. My chief of staff on the other end asked no questions. He simply took the order. The
06:14yacht cut
06:15through the waves. It carried me in my burning rage toward that city about to be overturned by a political
06:20storm. The rain in
06:22Washington fell thick and steady. I returned to my top floor luxury apartment in Georgetown. Outside the
06:28floor-to-ceiling window was the dazzling night view of the city of power. But I found the scenery
06:34unbearably glaring. Just then, my phone rang. It was my fake daughter, Isabella. Her voice was coquettish.
06:40It carried a sense of entitled arrogance. Mom, why didn't you tell me you were going to South America?
06:46Daniel has his eye on a piece of land in northern Virginia. He wants to build a data center.
06:51We are still 50 million short. Just take a little from the family trust. Your Senate seat will be
06:58passed down to me anyway. My hand holding the phone tightened slightly. Money again. Ever since she was
07:04a child, whenever she called me on her own, it was always about these two words. I used to think
07:10maybe
07:10I had spoiled her, so I never really cared. But at this moment, I suddenly realized something. Maybe she
07:17had known all along she was not my real daughter. Maybe they were even in this together. That was
07:23why she dared to demand so recklessly. She wanted to bleed me dry. So this time, I did not say
07:30yes.
07:30I only spoke coldly. 50 million is not a small sum. Come home tomorrow. We will talk in person.
07:36My tone was flat. It revealed no emotion. Isabella let out a cheer on the other end. She hung up
07:42promptly.
07:42At noon the next day, she walked into my living room in 10-centimeter red-soled heels. Her hips
07:48swayed as she moved. She casually tossed her Hermes bag worth hundreds of thousands onto the sofa.
07:54Mom, I brought the letter of intent. You just need to sign it. Her face was full of smiles. I
08:00picked
08:00up my coffee. I took a sip. My gaze crossed the rim of the cup. I studied the woman before
08:06me. She was
08:07very beautiful. Her features indeed carried a trace of my younger self. That old fox, Edward,
08:13had truly found a perfect substitute. Not so fast. I set down my coffee.
08:18How has your health been lately? You don't look so well. Really? Maybe Daniel and I went to the
08:24Republican fundraising dinner last night. We got home too late. You have been frail since childhood.
08:29Do you remember? That high fever when you were nine almost killed you. I stared straight at her.
08:37Isabella's movements paused for a second. Thank goodness dad took care of me day and night.
08:42That tattoo on your lower back. I suddenly changed the subject. How is it doing lately?
08:48Isabella's body visibly stiffened. Lift it up. Let me take a look. Isabella bit her lip.
08:54She reluctantly lifted the hem of her silk blouse. June 12, 2001. It was left by a modern tattoo
09:02machine deliberately imitating handwriting. Just as I thought, Isabella fixed her clothes.
09:08Mom, about the data center. Tell Daniel to come talk to me himself. I interrupted her.
09:14Isabella froze. She did not expect my refusal. But Daniel is pushing a bill recently. He is very busy.
09:21He may be busy. But he still must ask for support in person. I am tired. You go back first.
09:29Isabella's face turned sour. She dared not throw a tantrum. She grabbed her bag and left in a huff.
09:36The next morning, Old White called.
09:39Madam Senator, we found a large sum of money Edward recently moved to Columbia.
09:44We found out Daniel Reed went there three years ago under the name of a fact-finding trip.
09:49The place he went was exactly that black market area where you rescued the real young lady.
09:55Daniel.
09:56I never expected my son-in-law, who had always acted so gentle and promising, was also involved.
10:01I pulled open the drawer. I took out a fully loaded Sig Sauer pistol.
10:05The game had entered its next phase. I would let them know what it truly means to wish for death.
10:10I gave the order into the phone. Investigate all overseas warehousing assets under Daniel Reed's name.
10:16I want to know the flow of every dollar of his lobbying funds.
10:19I would make them feel the pain my daughter had suffered.
10:22A private sanatorium in the Maryland suburbs.
10:25I pushed open the door of the intensive care unit.
10:28On the hospital bed lay my real daughter.
10:31And at this moment, she was sleeping quietly.
10:33Looking at her face, my heart clenched with pain again and again.
10:38Just then, my phone vibrated.
10:41It was a message from the security guard at the entrance.
10:44Madam Senator, Miss Reed is outside making a scene.
10:47She demands to come in.
10:48Isabella.
10:50I never expected she would find this place.
10:52It seemed she and Daniel had been having people watch my movements all along.
10:57Let her in, I replied.
10:58A few minutes later, the sound of high heels clicking on the marble floor echoed in the hallway.
11:05Isabella pushed the door open furiously.
11:08Mom, why did you come to such a remote place?
11:12I have been looking everywhere for you.
11:14That data center contract?
11:15Her voice stopped abruptly.
11:16Her gaze locked tightly onto the woman on the hospital bed.
11:20I saw it clearly.
11:21Her body trembled uncontrollably.
11:24Who is she?
11:25Isabella's voice changed pitch.
11:27It was sharp and trembling.
11:29I stood up.
11:30I walked step by step toward her.
11:33Do you not know her?
11:35Isabella shook her head desperately.
11:36She kept backing away.
11:39No.
11:40How could I know her?
11:42Really?
11:44Maybe you didn't see clearly from too far away.
11:48Come.
11:49Take a good look.
11:51Isabella screamed in pain, but she squeezed her eyes shut and dared not open them.
11:56Let me go.
11:58Mom, have you gone mad?
12:00She collapsed onto the floor.
12:02She covered her head and cried.
12:04I really don't know her.
12:07I really don't know her.
12:10I crouched down.
12:12I pinched her chin and forced her to look into my eyes.
12:16Isabella's face was smeared with tears and snot.
12:19Mom, why have you turned me gold like this?
12:21I don't understand what you're saying.
12:24I let go.
12:25I took out a handkerchief and wiped my fingers with disgust.
12:29It doesn't matter if you don't understand.
12:31You will understand slowly.
12:33Go back and tell Daniel, tomorrow, bring Edward and crawl to my office to see me.
12:38Otherwise, face the consequences yourself.
12:41Isabella scrambled and crawled out of the ward.
12:44I watched her pathetic figure retreat.
12:47I smiled coldly.
12:49This was just the appetizer.
12:51Hope on the hospital bed suddenly let out a faint whimper.
12:55I turned around immediately and walked over.
12:58She had opened her eyes at some point.
13:00She was staring fiercely in the direction of the door.
13:04She knew Isabella.
13:05Perhaps Isabella had even tortured her with her own hands.
13:09Don't be afraid.
13:10Mom is here.
13:11Those who hurt you, Mom won't let a single one of them go.
13:15I walked out of the sanatorium.
13:16The rain outside was even heavier.
13:18Barnes held up a black umbrella.
13:20He opened the car door for me.
13:22Madam Senator, Daniel has made a move.
13:24He moved Edward to the Reed family estate.
13:27And he just contacted an account in the Cayman Islands.
13:31Keep a close watch on that account.
13:34Also, have the caucus finance committee pull out every original debt record of the Reed family's political contributions.
13:40I want to see the Reed family's capital chain break before the sun sheds tomorrow.
13:45I would let them know, in front of absolute power, their schemes and tricks could never step onto the stage.
13:51The next morning, the top floor conference room of the Senate caucus.
13:54I toyed with the Sig Sauer in my hand.
13:56The door of the conference room was suddenly shoved open.
13:59Daniel strode in aggressively.
14:00Edward huddled behind him.
14:02His face was sallow.
14:03Barnes immediately drew his gun and aimed it at Daniel.
14:07Mother-in-law, don't be so angry.
14:09We are all one family.
14:11If there anything we could sit down and gore, we can sit down and talk it.
14:14I sneered.
14:15I slapped the gun onto the table.
14:17Edward, you bastard.
14:19Don't we have a score to settle?
14:21Edward trembled in fright.
14:22He dared not look me in the eye.
14:24Mother-in-law, I don't understand what you are saying.
14:27Isabella came back very shaken yesterday.
14:29You used a woman of unknown origin to frighten her.
14:31That was not appropriate.
14:32Unknown origin?
14:34Is she really of unknown origin?
14:36Daniel, do I need to remind you?
14:38Three years ago, you went to the black market in Colombia yourself.
14:41You gave boss $200,000.
14:43You told him to just keep her breathing.
14:45Don't let her die.
14:46You haven't forgotten this, have you?
14:48Daniel's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
14:52Mother-in-law, you talking about, I don't understand.
14:54I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
14:57Do it.
14:58Then I pressed the intercom on the table.
15:00In less than five minutes, Daniel's phone rang frantically.
15:03He answered the call.
15:05His face instantly turned pale.
15:07What did you say?
15:08The biggest donor pulled out?
15:10All lobbying groups stopped cooperation?
15:12The IRS moved in?
15:14The media started exposing scandals?
15:16Fight to the death?
15:17You are not worthy.
15:20He shot up from his seat.
15:22He stared at me fiercely.
15:23Victoria, have you gone mad?
15:25What good does it do you if the Reed family collapses?
15:27The good is that I enjoy watching it.
15:32You think this can bring me down?
15:33I still have a trump card.
15:35Trump card.
15:37Hearing these two words, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
15:40Isn't it just holding my biological daughter in your hands?
15:44I'm sorry, but your scheme is about to fail.
15:47So I clapped my hands.
15:49Old White walked in from the side door.
15:51He tossed a file bag onto the table in front of Daniel.
15:54The man froze for a moment.
15:56As if sensing what was coming, he opened the file bag with trembling hands.
16:00At this moment, Daniel's face turned deathly pale.
16:04Seeing everything was exposed, Edward beside him put his hands together in prayer and shook
16:08his head frantically.
16:10Victoria, I was wrong.
16:11Blame it on my foolish obsession back then.
16:14That woman forced me.
16:16There was an accomplice?
16:17I kicked him to the ground.
16:20Speak.
16:21Who is that woman?
16:22Just then, Old White's phone rang.
16:24He answered the call.
16:25His face turned extremely grim.
16:28Old White covered the phone.
16:29His voice trembled.
16:31Madam Senator, bad news.
16:34The sanatorium sent word.
16:36Miss Hope is missing.
16:38Darkness clouded my vision.
16:40I grabbed Daniel by the tie.
16:41Where did she take her?
16:42Daniel suddenly burst into wild laughter.
16:45Victoria, even if you destroy the Reed family, so what?
16:49You will never find your biological daughter.
16:53By now, she has probably been cut into pieces and thrown into the Atlantic to feed the sharks.
17:01I drew my Sig Sauer.
17:03I pressed it directly against Daniel's forehead.
17:06Talk.
17:07Where is she?
17:07The air in the conference room seemed to freeze.
17:10My finger was on the trigger.
17:12My knuckles turned white from the excessive force.
17:15Daniel looked at the black muzzle.
17:16His laughter stopped abruptly.
17:18He clenched his teeth.
17:20He refused to speak no matter what.
17:22He knew that if he spoke, he would lose his only bargaining chip.
17:26Madam Senator, I found something.
17:28Ten minutes before Miss Hope disappeared, a black unmarked van left the sanatorium.
17:34Federal surveillance shows that the van got on the beltway.
17:36It headed toward the abandoned industrial docks in Baltimore.
17:39Barnes, have someone watch these two wastes.
17:42A dozen black Chevrolet Suburbans shot out of the underground garage of the caucus headquarters like a black storm.
17:49Rain lashed against the windshield.
17:51The windshield wipers swung wildly.
17:53My heart rose to my throat.
17:55Hope had just crawled out of hell.
17:58She must not fall into their claws again.
18:00The convoy sped to the industrial docks in Baltimore.
18:04The gate was locked with iron chains.
18:07Ram it open.
18:08I ordered coldly.
18:09The lead car suddenly accelerated.
18:12It crashed straight through the chains.
18:14Barnes made a gesture.
18:16The bodyguards fanned out with their guns raised.
18:18I held my Sig Sauer.
18:20I followed closely behind.
18:21The warehouse door was kicked open.
18:23A strong smell of blood mixed with chemicals hit us in the face.
18:27Hope was tied to the rack with iron wire.
18:30Several blocks of C4 explosives were strapped to her body.
18:34They were counting down.
18:36Isabella stood beside her.
18:37She held a detonator in her hand.
18:40Her face was full of madness.
18:42Stop!
18:43Don't come any closer!
18:45I raised my hand.
18:46I signaled everyone to stop.
18:47Isabella, you can't escape now.
18:49Put down the detonator.
18:50I will leave you a whole corpse.
18:52Victoria, you bastard!
18:53Why can't you just accept me as your daughter?
18:56Why did you have to bring her back?
19:00I know you know the truth about everything now.
19:02You will never let me go.
19:04Since I can't live, then we will die together!
19:07As she spoke, she suddenly raised the detonator.
19:10I raised my hand without hesitation.
19:12I pulled the trigger.
19:13The bullet hit Isabella's wrist with precision.
19:16In an instant, the detonator flew out of her hand.
19:18It fell into a puddle on the ground.
19:20Isabella let out a scream.
19:22She clutched her wrist and collapsed to her knees.
19:24Barnes was quick.
19:25He pinned Isabella down firmly.
19:26Take her back.
19:27I looked up at Isabella pinned to the ground.
19:30My gaze was ice cold.
19:32I will make her spit out everything she swallowed.
19:34Ten times.
19:35A hundred times.
19:36An abandoned bunker in Northern Virginia.
19:39Issa was tied to an iron chair.
19:40I walked toward her step by step in my high heels.
19:43Whose bastard are you, really?
19:45I looked down at her from above.
19:46Isabella bit her lip.
19:48Her eyes darted away.
19:50I don't know what you are talking about.
19:55Isabella shivered violently from the cold.
19:58She let out a sharp scream.
19:59Still playing tough.
20:01Edward already confessed.
20:02You are not some orphan.
20:04You are the illegitimate daughter of him and that whore.
20:08You lived the good life of a political family heir for 20 years.
20:12My daughter was tortured like a dog in Colombia.
20:17Isabella, what right do you have to cry innocent here?
20:20Under my barrage of questions, she burst into wailing sobs.
20:24My mother forced me.
20:24When I was nine, she forced me to get plastic surgery to look like your daughter.
20:28She said only then could I live a good life.
20:31Just as I thought.
20:33Just as I thought.
20:34Everything was planned from the start.
20:35Who is that whore?
20:37I tightened my grip.
20:39It's your chief of staff.
20:41Isabella spat out a name that shocked me.
20:46Cassandra, that confidant who had followed me for 15 years.
20:49She was the real culprit who stole my daughter.
20:51Rage instantly swallowed my reason.
20:53I immediately took out my phone.
20:54I dialed Cassandra's number.
20:56It was turned off.
20:57Old White, find Cassandra's whereabouts.
20:59She can't have gone far.
21:00Ten minutes later, Old White called back.
21:02Madam Senator?
21:04Cassandra boarded a private to Switzerland an hour ago.
21:07And she emptied all the funds from several of your overseas political action nuisance.
21:11A full $50 million.
21:13I was so furious I laughed.
21:14I turned and looked at Isabella.
21:16Your mother ran away.
21:17She left you here as the scapegoat.
21:19Scapegoat.
21:20Tell me, how do you think I will torture you?
21:24Isabella trembled in terror.
21:26She begged for mercy again and again.
21:28Mom, for the sake of calling you mom for 20 years, please spare me.
21:32I will give you all the Reed family money.
21:35I will like a horse to repay you.
21:38Shut up.
21:38I turned my head away in disgust.
21:40Barnes, bring the pliers.
21:41My daughter suffered.
21:43She must experience every bit of it exactly the same way.
21:47Isabella's heart-wrenching screams echoed through the bunker.
21:50I turned a deaf ear.
21:51I turned around and walked out of the bunker.
21:53Three days later, the largest underground casino in Atlantic City.
21:57Edward was dragged out of a dog cage by several burly men.
22:01He had not slept for days and nights.
22:03His whole body reeked of a sour stench.
22:06The casino owner respectfully handed over an IOU.
22:09Edward lost $80 million here in the past few days.
22:12He mortgaged all his properties, his cars, and even Daniel's share of political contributions.
22:17I took the IOU.
22:19Edward, you have really made something of yourself.
22:22Victoria, save me.
22:23I am less than human.
22:25I was tricked by that bitch Cassandra.
22:27I deserve to die.
22:28Cassandra is already living it up in Switzerland with your money.
22:31I should never have believed that poisonous woman.
22:33Victoria, for the sake of the years we were husband and wife, give me a way out.
22:38When you switched my daughter, did you leave her a way out?
22:41When you watched Cassandra steal my money, did you leave me a way out?
22:46I walked up to him.
22:47I looked down at this man who had once shared my bed.
22:54I will pay off this $80 million debt for you.
22:57Edward jerked his head up.
22:58A glimmer of hope lit his eyes.
23:00But the condition is this.
23:02You will go to the black market.
23:04You will sell your liver, your kidneys, and your coracles.
23:07All the money will be donated to the Anti-Human Trafficking Charity Foundation.
23:11No!
23:13You can't do this!
23:14That's murder!
23:15Barnes, do it.
23:18Several bodyguards stepped forward.
23:20They dragged Edward out like a dead dog.
23:22His screams slowly faded into the depths of the corridor.
23:26With Edward dealt with, I returned to my office in Washington.
23:29Daniel was already in FBI custody.
23:32He was suspected of money laundering, murder for hire, and multiple other felonies.
23:37He would never get out for the rest of his life.
23:39Not enough.
23:40But this was not enough.
23:41Cassandra was still out there.
23:43She was still free.
23:44I dialed Old White's number.
23:47Have you found Cassandra's exact location in Zurich?
23:50We found it, Madam Senator.
23:52She bought a lakeside villa.
23:55She has over a dozen private bodyguards with her.
23:58Send the location to the Blackwater mercenaries.
24:01Tell them I want her alive.
24:03If they cannot bring her back alive, then bring back her head.
24:05I hung up the phone.
24:06I walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
24:09Only the last piece of my revenge puzzle remained.
24:12Half a month later, a private helicopter landed on the lawn of the Virginia estate.
24:17The rotor blades churned up a huge windstorm.
24:20Several fully armed mercenaries escorted a woman with a black hood over her head down the steps.
24:25The black hood was ripped off.
24:27Cassandra's terrified face was revealed.
24:30Madam Senator!
24:31Madam Senator, spare my life!
24:33I will return all the money!
24:35Every last penny!
24:37Cassandra fell straight to her knees on the lawn.
24:39Cassandra wept heart-wrenchingly.
24:40For the sake of the 15 years I served you, give me a way out!
24:4515 years.
24:46You followed me for 15 years.
24:49You ate my food.
24:50You wore my clothes.
24:51You spent my money.
24:52Behind my back, you climbed into my husband's bed.
24:55You gave birth to a bastard and swapped away my own daughter!
25:00Cassandra, did a dog eat your conscience?
25:03I'm so sorry!
25:05It was Edward who seduced me!
25:07He forced me!
25:08He said you were too dominicing!
25:11He couldn't take it!
25:12He said the one he loved was me!
25:15I am just a weak woman!
25:18What could I have done?
25:20I laughed coldly.
25:21A weak woman?
25:24A weak woman who hired Colombian gangs to torture my daughter into a human stick?
25:28A weak woman who stole $50 million and fled overseas?
25:33I took an electric baton from a bodyguard.
25:36I jabbed it directly into Cassandra's stomach.
25:38High voltage current shot through her entire body instantly.
25:42Cassandra let out an inhuman shriek.
25:44Her whole body convulsed.
25:46She collapsed to the ground.
25:47Foam came out of her mouth.
25:49Her eyes rolled back.
25:50I threw the electric baton back to the bodyguard in disgust.
25:54Take her to the kennel in the backyard.
25:56I turned and walked into the house.
25:58Sunlight fell on Hope's face.
26:00The muscles at the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
26:02A stiff smile appeared on her face.
26:05All the enemies had received their due punishment.
26:07I walked to the liquor cabinet.
26:09I poured two glasses of bourbon whiskey.
26:11I handed one glass to Hope.
26:13Her hand trembled.
26:14She struggled to hold the glass.
26:15The two glasses clinked gently together.
26:18Hope let's toast to a new life.
26:21They made a clear, crisp sound.
