Short filmTranscript
00:07Because I couldn't bear him a son.
00:10Lucas abandoned me and our daughter on a snow-covered highway
00:13in freezing weather.
00:16Then drove off without a second glance
00:18to spend a joyful new year with his next wife.
00:24This cruel manly shed a tear when he saw our coffins.
00:30I thought Lucas Reed was pulling over to pee.
00:32Layla's asleep.
00:36Grace, get Layla out of the car.
00:38Lucas, it's fine. Squeeze.
00:40I don't want to sit with that dirty kid.
00:42She was coughing.
00:44December 23rd, highway, 23 degrees Fahrenheit.
00:48I held Layla and watched him restart the engine.
00:50The taillights got smaller and losser in the snow
00:52until they disappeared.
00:53The snow kept falling.
00:55I stood by the guardrail,
00:57trying to block the wind with my body.
00:58Mommy, where's Daddy?
01:02He's at Grandma's.
01:04Aunt Lucy's coming to get us.
01:06But I'm cold.
01:09I wrapped her inside my coat,
01:12tucked a scarf around her head.
01:14My phone had only 30% battery left.
01:17I called Lucy.
01:18Once, twice, three times.
01:21She finally picked up.
01:22Hey, Lucy, your brother said you're picking us up.
01:25Where are you?
01:26Oh, that.
01:28Right.
01:28Yeah, he mentioned it.
01:29I'm at a party right now, though.
01:30Can't leave.
01:31Just wait.
01:31I'll swing by later.
01:32Lucy, it's freezing out here.
01:34Layna can't...
01:35God, you're so dramatic.
01:36Just wait, okay?
01:37Lucas said Sophie and Vivi can't get cold.
01:38They need to get home.
01:39Waiting a bit won't kill you, too.
01:40I stood there, fingers stiff.
01:46Then I called Lucas, voicemail.
01:49Again, voicemail.
01:51Layla shivered in my arms.
01:53Mommy, I want to go home.
01:57We will be home in a minute, baby.
02:00We'll be home soon.
02:01Four years of marriage.
02:02I never knew he could be this cruel.
02:04Dumped his own wife and daughter on the highway for Sophia's kid, because Vivian said she didn't
02:10want to sit with a dirty kid.
02:12Headlights appeared in the distant.
02:14I waved.
02:15Here!
02:16A black SUV slowed down.
02:19Stopped.
02:20The window rolled down.
02:22A young guy.
02:23Need help?
02:25Can you take us to the next rest stop?
02:28Please?
02:29Get in.
02:31Grace?
02:32What are you doing out here?
02:35Where's Lucas?
02:36I told Henry what happened.
02:38Is he insane?
02:40He left you and Layla out here?
02:42Sophie's kid matters, but his own daughter doesn't?
02:46Lee, squeeze them in.
02:48Now.
02:51No.
02:52Room.
02:53Look at her face.
02:55She's turning blue.
02:58I climbed into the back with Layla.
03:00Heat hit my frozen skin.
03:01It hurt.
03:03Call me when you get to the rest stop.
03:04I'll make Lucas come get you.
03:06Henry, you'll freeze out here.
03:07I'll survive.
03:08Just take care of the kid.
03:09Go.
03:10The car pulled away.
03:11Henry stood in the snow, getting smaller.
03:16The car pulled away.
03:17I looked through the back window.
03:19Henry stood in the snow, getting smaller.
03:22Layla slept in my arms.
03:24Her cheeks were still too red.
03:25I touched her forehead.
03:27I touched her forehead.
03:28Burning.
03:29Can you go faster?
03:30She has a fever.
03:31Lee, not me, nodded.
03:33Stepped on gas.
03:33Stepped on the gas.
03:36I reached for my phone.
03:39No signal.
03:42How far is it to the rest stop?
03:44Twelve miles.
03:45Half an hour.
03:46Easy.
03:48I held Layla tighter.
03:50Kept checking her forehead.
03:52Hotter.
03:53Baby.
03:54Wake up.
03:55Don't close your eyes.
03:57I don't feel good.
03:59I know.
04:00We're almost there.
04:01Just hold on.
04:02She started coughing.
04:04Hard.
04:05Her little face turned blue.
04:08I patted her back.
04:10The tears finally came.
04:13Please.
04:14Faster.
04:16I'm going as fast as I can.
04:18The roads are icy.
04:20The cough got worse.
04:22Her breathing sounded like a broken whistle.
04:25I can't breathe.
04:28I unzapped her coat.
04:29Her chest was heaving.
04:30Emomia.
04:31She almost died from it last year.
04:32Lena, look at me.
04:34Stay awake.
04:35Mommy's going to tell you a story.
04:36About the bunny.
04:38Her eyes fluttered.
04:39Her breathing got shallower.
04:41Someone help!
04:42She's dying!
04:43Please!
04:44No one answered.
04:45Just the sound of the wind and snow howling outside.
04:47The car finally pulled into the restroom.
04:52Is there a doctor?
04:53Please.
04:54She's sick.
04:55There's no doctor here.
04:56Towers down.
04:58Lines are dead.
05:00My knees buckled.
05:02Layla was silent in my arms.
05:05Fever in me of the grace.
05:07Lena.
05:08Try giving her these.
05:14Please.
05:15Look, I can drive you to the community hospital.
05:17But the roads might be closed with the snow.
05:19All right.
05:20I'll try.
05:20Yes.
05:21Go.
05:21Now.
05:24Layla.
05:25Remember you wanted to go to Disney World?
05:27Mommy's taking you.
05:29We'll ride the biggest carousel.
05:31You're going to wear that Elsa dress, right?
05:34And Universal Studios.
05:36They have Transformers.
05:38We'll go see your hero.
05:39Her eyelashes fluttered.
05:41But she didn't open her eyes.
05:43My phone buzzed.
05:44A signal.
05:44I dialed Lucas with shaking fingers.
05:50Hello?
05:52Lucas.
05:53Lena is sick.
05:55It's bad.
05:56Where are you?
05:57Lena.
05:58On the way to the community hospital.
06:01You need to come.
06:01Grace.
06:03Lucy's picking you up, isn't she?
06:05She didn't come.
06:07She never came.
06:11That's not possible.
06:13She just posted on social media.
06:15Said she was on her way.
06:16I opened the app and found Lucy's profile.
06:19Her latest post.
06:20Ten minutes ago.
06:21A selfie.
06:22Highway in the background.
06:24The caption, picking up Grace.
06:25The location tag said 60 miles away.
06:28She hadn't moved an inch.
06:29She was lying to Lucas.
06:30She was lying to me.
06:32Grace.
06:33Sophie and Vivian just got here.
06:35My mom's happy.
06:36Don't ruin it.
06:36When Lucy picks you up,
06:38tweet Layla to a camera.
06:39Kids get fingers.
06:40It's normal.
06:40She's not going to die.
06:41Stop being dramatic.
06:43Don't miss.
06:44I held the phone.
06:46My blood ran cold.
06:48Your husband?
06:52I nodded.
06:54Bastard.
06:55Hold on.
06:56I'm taking a shortcut.
06:57That kid is not dying on my watch.
07:01He turned onto a back road.
07:03The snow got heavier.
07:04I could barely hear Layla breathing anymore.
07:07I felt for her heartbeat.
07:09So faint.
07:10Hello?
07:10Don't do this to Mommy.
07:12Mommy was wrong.
07:12I should have never been such a fool.
07:14Mommy was wrong to marry him.
07:15Mommy's sorry.
07:16I'm so sorry.
07:17I was crying as I reached into my pocket.
07:19I pulled out a small metal disc.
07:21About the size of a button.
07:23Dad gave it to me.
07:24Grace, if the reeds ever hurt you or Layla,
07:26push this.
07:27But I want one more thing.
07:28No sound.
07:29But I knew the signal went out.
07:31Dad said his people would be there within three hours.
07:33But three hours, could Layla last three hours?
07:37Community hospital finally came into view.
07:40Acute pneumonia.
07:42Heart rate dropping.
07:43Get the crash cart ready.
07:44They stopped me at the door.
07:47I stood behind the glass.
07:50Watched them intubate her.
07:51Hook her up to monitors.
07:53Her tiny body on that bed.
07:54I felt so helpless.
07:55Like I was watching her die.
07:58I collapsed in the corner.
08:01Shaking.
08:02My phone rang again.
08:03Lucas.
08:04I answered.
08:05Said nothing.
08:06Grace, where are you?
08:07My mom's waiting.
08:09Hello?
08:10The hospital.
08:12They're resuscitating Layla.
08:14What?
08:15Why are you at a hospital?
08:16Where's Lucy?
08:17She never came.
08:20That's impossible.
08:22She just texted you.
08:24Said she picked you up.
08:25I opened the family group chat.
08:26Twenty minutes ago.
08:28A message from Lucy.
08:29Got her, bro.
08:30Heading back.
08:31A blurry photo attached.
08:32A woman's silhouette in the passenger seat.
08:34Looked like my coat.
08:35She took that photo weeks ago.
08:37She was lying to him.
08:38With a pre-planned photo.
08:40Lucas, come to the hospital.
08:42Now.
08:44Grace, you just don't want to come for Christmas, do you?
08:47Because Sophie's here.
08:48You're jealous.
08:49So you made this up.
08:53You think I'm lying?
08:54Otherwise what?
08:56Lucy has no reason to lie to me.
08:58She's my sister.
08:59What are you?
09:01Lucas, if Layla dies tonight, I will never forgive you.
09:05Whatever.
09:06My mom says Sophie can still bore me a son.
09:08You can't.
09:08So step aside.
09:10The line went dead.
09:12I slid down the wall.
09:16Family?
09:20I'm here.
09:23We saved her.
09:24But there's something you need to see.
09:27But what?
09:28Oxygen deprivation.
09:30Too long.
09:31There's brain damage.
09:32She may never walk.
09:33Or talk.
09:34Or think like a normal child.
09:35The room spun.
09:37I grabbed the wall.
09:39She's still so young.
09:42We did everything we could.
09:44Get her admitted.
09:45The bills won't be cheap.
09:48I stumbled to the billing window.
09:53Insufficient funds.
09:55Lucas gave me $3,000 a month.
09:58I called him.
10:01What now?
10:02Layla needs surgery.
10:03Transfer me $50,000.
10:05$50,000?
10:06What am I, an ATM?
10:08A printing press?
10:12Lucas, she's your daughter.
10:14A girl.
10:15Even if she recovers, she's worthless.
10:18I hung up.
10:20Stood at the window.
10:24Can we start the treatment first?
10:26I'll pay later?
10:27Sorry.
10:28Hospital policy.
10:30Deposit first.
10:31I walked outside.
10:33Into the snow.
10:35My phone buzzed.
10:37Henry.
10:39Henry.
10:41Do me a favor.
10:42Anything.
10:43If I die,
10:45take care of Layla.
10:46What the hell are you talking about?
10:48I have no money.
10:50Layla has no future.
10:51Lucas doesn't want her.
10:53I don't either.
10:55Dump her in foster care.
10:56At least she'll live.
10:57Don't do anything stupid.
10:59Where are you?
11:00I'm coming.
11:01No.
11:03I hung up.
11:05Turned off the phone.
11:08Walked back to the room.
11:11Layla lay on the bed.
11:13Tubes everywhere.
11:14Her pale face,
11:15like she was just sleeping.
11:17I held her hand.
11:19I kissed her forehead,
11:21then turned and walked out.
11:24The hospital roof was cold,
11:26with wind and snow.
11:28I stood at the edge,
11:30looking down.
11:33People looked so small down there.
11:35Jumping would end everything.
11:36Layla would be given away.
11:38Lucas would marry Sophie.
11:39Everyone would be happy,
11:40except me and Layla.
11:42I closed my eyes and leaned forward.
11:44Then someone grabbed my wrist
11:45and pulled me back hard.
11:46I hit the ground and looked up.
11:48Men in black suits stood around me.
11:50The one in front was in his 50s,
11:52with gray hair.
11:53He took off his sunglasses.
11:54His eyes red.
11:56Grace.
11:59Dad.
11:59They put me on a private helicopter.
12:02Layla came too.
12:03A doctor on board took over immediately.
12:05Intracranial pressure too high.
12:07She needs surgery now.
12:08Call the main hospital.
12:09Tell them to clear the OR.
12:11Dad held my hand.
12:12He wouldn't stop shaking.
12:14I'm sorry, sweetheart.
12:15I came too late.
12:17I'm sorry.
12:17Dad.
12:18What's going on?
12:20Grace, I've been lying to you.
12:22You insisted on marrying Lucas.
12:23I was afraid if he knew we had money,
12:25he'd only marry you for it.
12:27So I pretended to be poor for four years.
12:30I thought as long as he treated you well,
12:32it was fine.
12:33But I never expected...
12:34He looked at Layla unconscious,
12:36and his tears fell.
12:38Never expected them to be this cruel.
12:40To abuse my granddaughter like this.
12:43A helicopter landed on the roof of City Jam.
12:46They wheeled Layla straight into surgery.
12:48The best surgeons.
12:49The best equipment.
12:52Reed Group.
12:53Before the market opens tomorrow,
12:54I want it to crash.
12:56Terminate every partnership.
12:57Call the banks.
12:59You know what to do.
13:00Grace, I'm giving you two choices.
13:02First, divorce him.
13:04Take the money.
13:05Take Layla abroad.
13:07Never come back.
13:08Second, stay.
13:11Watch the reeds fall.
13:14I thought about it.
13:16Second.
13:17But I want one more thing.
13:19One more thing, father.
13:21What?
13:22Find two bodies.
13:24One exactly like mine,
13:25and a little girl's like Layla's.
13:27Frozen to death on the side of the highway.
13:29I want them to think I'm dead.
13:30Then I want to watch them celebrate.
13:31Watch them celebrate Christmas.
13:33While Layla and I are dead.
13:37Done.
13:37The bodies looked real.
13:39One adult.
13:40One child.
13:41Lying in the snow by the highway.
13:43When they were found,
13:44they were already frozen.
13:46The call came while the reeds
13:47were eating Christmas dinner.
13:48The table was full of laughter.
13:50Grandma.
13:51Oh, Vivian.
13:51Sophie is so much better.
13:53Her daughter is well-behaved.
13:54Not like Grace.
13:55That little brat of hers
13:56was always crying.
13:57So annoying.
13:59Hello?
14:00Mr. Lucas Reed?
14:01Are you the husband of Grace Reed?
14:02We found two bodies by the highway.
14:05You need to come identify them.
14:06What did you say?
14:08Grace and Layla?
14:10Froze to death?
14:14Lucas's legs gave out
14:16when he got to the morgue.
14:18The cop led him to the viewing room.
14:20The drawer slid open.
14:22Two bodies.
14:23One big,
14:24one small.
14:25The big one wore my coat.
14:27The small one curled in her arms
14:29like she was sleeping.
14:31Are they?
14:32Lucas opened his mouth.
14:33No sound came out.
14:35He reached out to touch my face,
14:36but his hands wouldn't stop shaking.
14:39No way.
14:40Lucy went to get them.
14:42We checked the cameras.
14:43Your sister's car never hit the highway.
14:45She drove around the city,
14:46then went home.
14:47We checked the victim's phone.
14:48We found an audio recording
14:48of her last call to you.
14:497 p.m.
14:50She said the child was begged you to help.
14:51We said,
14:52we said a girl.
14:53Even if she recovers,
14:54she's worthless.
14:55I thought she was lying.
14:58I didn't know.
14:58I didn't think she really...
15:00If you'd known,
15:00would you have gone?
15:02Silence.
15:03Lucas had no answer.
15:09Oh my God, Layla.
15:12My little girl.
15:13How could this happen?
15:15I even haven't seen you for alone.
15:17Lucas,
15:18this is for the best.
15:19Grace is gone.
15:21Now you can have Sophie.
15:23Mom,
15:25that's my daughter.
15:26Your granddaughter.
15:27So what?
15:28She's dead.
15:29That saves you a divorce settlement.
15:31Tell the cop to pre-mate them already.
15:33Don't ruin Christmas.
15:35Ma'am,
15:36these are two human beings.
15:40So what?
15:41Not your problem.
15:42Let's go.
15:44Sophie's waiting for us.
15:47Wait.
15:51Grace.
15:53I'm sorry.
15:55I was wrong.
15:57I didn't...
15:58I never thought...
15:59Why are you apologizing?
16:01She was just unlucky.
16:03Shut up!
16:04We must bring them home!
16:07Mrs. Reed didn't dare to say another word.
16:11The Reeds held a memorial.
16:14Lucas, I didn't mean to.
16:16I was just hanging with friends.
16:17Lost track of time.
16:19How was I supposed to know they'd actually die?
16:20Lost track of time?
16:22Two people.
16:23You lost track of time?
16:24What do you want me to do?
16:26Die for her?
16:28She's not worth it.
16:31Get out!
16:32I don't want to see you again.
16:33You're not my sister.
16:38Lucas, I'm so sorry.
16:40Grace wouldn't want you to be like this.
16:42They were doing what had happened.
16:43Freezing to death on the highway.
16:45Waiting for someone who was never coming.
16:46That was your sister's fault, not mine.
16:48Right.
16:48Poor you.
16:49But they're dead.
16:50Frozen solid.
16:51Two lives.
16:51I keep thinking...
16:52What if I'd answered the phone?
16:55What if I'd gone to get them?
16:58What if I hadn't said those things?
17:00Lucas, Grace is dead.
17:01I'm the one still alive.
17:03The door closed.
17:04Lucas slid down the wall and sat against the coffin.
17:07On the monitor, I watched his shoulders shake.
17:10Ridiculous?
17:10People only cry when it's too late.
17:16The Reeds held a memorial.
17:20Lucas, I didn't mean to.
17:21I was just hanging with friends.
17:23Lost track of time.
17:24How was I supposed to know they'd actually die?
17:26Lost track of time?
17:27Two people.
17:28You lost track of time?
17:30What do you want me to do?
17:32Die for her?
17:33She's not worth it.
17:37Get out!
17:38I don't want to see you again.
17:39You're not my sister.
17:43Lucas, I'm so sorry.
17:45Grace wouldn't want you to be like this.
17:47They were doing what had happened.
17:48Freezing to death on the highway.
17:50Waiting for someone who was never coming.
17:51That was your sister's fault, not mine.
17:53Right.
17:54Poor you.
17:54But they're dead.
17:55Frozen solid.
17:56Two lives.
17:57I keep thinking.
17:58What if I'd answered the phone?
18:00What if I'd gone to get them?
18:03What if I hadn't said those things?
18:05Lucas, Grace is dead.
18:07I'm the one still alive.
18:08The door closed.
18:10Lucas slid down the wall and sat against the coffin.
18:12On the monitor, I watched his shoulders shake.
18:15Ridiculous?
18:15People only cry when it's too late.
18:22After Grace's death, things moved fast.
18:24The Reed Empire started to crumble.
18:26First, their biggest client walked, signed a 10-year deal with their rival overnight.
18:30Then the banks called in their loans, and the whole cash flow dried up.
18:33Suppliers showed up at the door all at once, demanding payment.
18:37You never come home.
18:39Sophie's getting upset.
18:40The company is dying.
18:41Do you understand?
18:42So what?
18:43We still have money.
18:45Money?
18:45Mom.
18:46We're going bankrupt.
18:48The house, the cars, the savings, all of it.
18:50Gone to pay debts.
18:51You might not even be able to afford food soon.
18:53That's impossible.
18:57Nothing's impossible.
19:00Mr. Reed, did you like my gift?
19:02Who is this?
19:02You don't need to know.
19:03All you need to know is this is just the beginning.
19:05The debt you owe, the entire Reed family will pay it.
19:08Reed group officially went bankrupt.
19:10The house, the cars, everything, auctioned off.
19:13Mrs. Reed moved out of the villa and into a rental.
19:16I can't suffer with you.
19:19Vivian has school.
19:21Lucas didn't stop her.
19:22He went back to the funeral home.
19:24The coffins were still there.
19:26He bribed the night guard with his last few dollars so he could sleep on the floor.
19:32You ruined the family for a dead woman.
19:34What about mom?
19:36Then who will pay the price for Grace?
19:38Who will answer for Layla?
19:40She left crying and never came back.
19:42Lucas started looking for work.
19:43But no one wanted a bankrupt boss with a bad reputation.
19:47He ended up as a waiter and-
19:48Start today.
19:48Wash dishes.
19:49Okay.
19:51Grace, today I carried 300 plates.
19:53My hands are falling off.
19:54In the old days you would have told me to take it easy.
19:56Why was I so stupid?
19:57You were so good.
19:58Layla was so cute.
19:59How did I get so lost listening to mom listen-
20:01That's right!
20:01Daddy!
20:04Layla, Daddy's sorry.
20:06You love strawberry cake.
20:07Daddy gets paid tomorrow.
20:08I'll buy you one, okay?
20:09He didn't know.
20:09This late guilt meant nothing.
20:11Next morning, Lucas went to the diner early.
20:14Lucas!
20:16Table three is waiting!
20:18Lunch break.
20:19He squatted on the back steps of the diner.
20:21Hey!
20:22You okay?
20:23Nothing.
20:24Got something in my eye.
20:25I heard you used to be a big shot.
20:26How'd you end up like this?
20:28Got what I deserved.
20:29He didn't want to talk.
20:31Some pain you swallow alone.
20:32He thought about Grace's last call, her hoarse voice.
20:35Layla dying.
20:36Would everything have been different?
20:39Shift ended.
20:40Lucas didn't go straight to the funeral home.
20:42He took a detour to the bakery downtown.
20:45Give me the smallest one.
20:46Back at the funeral home?
20:48Layla.
20:48Daddy bought you cake.
20:49Try it.
20:50It's your favorite.
20:51Grace, have a bite too.
20:53You always said I wasted money.
20:55Never bought the expensive cake.
20:57Now I bought it.
20:58Why won't you taste it?
20:59He sat there until the candles burned out.
21:01Next morning, he took the receipt and went back to the bakery.
21:04One strawberry cake.
21:05You again.
21:06There's a mother and daughter who come here a lot.
21:07They were just here a couple days ago.
21:09The little girl is so cute.
21:10Two pigtails.
21:11Pointed at the cake and said she wanted to surprise her.
21:13What did you say?
21:14They came here two days ago?
21:15The girl had pigtails?
21:17Really cute?
21:18Yes, I remember clearly.
21:19She was so excited about the cake.
21:21Really?
21:21Did they look like this?
21:22The build matches, but the little girl looks just like that.
21:24He was going to find them.
21:28First, the park where he used to take Layla.
21:31He walked every path and shouted.
21:33Layla?
21:34Grace?
21:35Where are you?
21:36The wind ate his voice.
21:38No answer.
21:39He went to the spot where they used to feed pigeons.
21:41He crouched and looked at the footprints in the snow.
21:44Daddy was wrong.
21:46Please come out, please.
21:50Every day after his shift, he got on his motorcycle and went everywhere.
21:54Malls, playgrounds, the preschool, the bookstore Grace used to love.
21:58Every place he could think of.
22:02He's crazy.
22:04Lucas, they're gone.
22:06You need to move on.
22:07He didn't listen.
22:08He knew.
22:09Grace and Layla were alive.
22:11He would find them.
22:12One day, he went to a preschool.
22:14The one Grace once said she'd send Layla to when she was older.
22:18Then he saw her.
22:19The way she moved.
22:20Her smile.
22:21It was Layla.
22:23He pushed open the gate and ran in.
22:25Layla!
22:26Fear flooded her eyes.
22:27She ran behind a man in a suit.
22:29She's my daughter.
22:30I'm her father.
22:31Move.
22:31Sir, I don't know you.
22:33I don't know what you're talking about.
22:34This is my employer's daughter.
22:36Leave now.
22:37Or I'll call the police.
22:39Don't touch me.
22:40You're a bad guy.
22:42You hurt mommy.
22:43You left us in the snow.
22:45Mommy said you died.
22:48Don't come near us.
22:49The disgust, it stabbed right through his heart.
22:51He finally understood what he'd done to her.
22:53Then a black sedan pulled up and parked by the gate.
22:55The back window rolled down, revealing a face he'd never forgotten.
23:03It's been a long time, Lucas.
23:06Grace.
23:07You're really not dead.
23:19Mommy, he's a bad guy.
23:22He wanted to grab me.
23:23Mommy knows.
23:24Mommy will protect you.
23:26I wanted to see Layla.
23:28I know I was wrong.
23:31I'm sorry.
23:32I want to make it up to you.
23:34Both of you.
23:35Just give me one more chance.
23:36Let me take care of you and Layla.
23:38I'll spend the rest of my life making this right.
23:40I'll do anything.
23:41Some mistakes can never be undone.
23:45You treated us the way you did.
23:47Now you live with the consequences.
23:49Two choices.
23:50One, leave now and never show your face in front of me or Layla again.
23:54Two, I call the cops and press charges for child abandonment and reckless endangerment.
23:59I have Layla's medical records and your phone call recordings all saved.
24:04No, I won't leave.
24:06Grace, Layla is my daughter.
24:09I can't live without her.
24:11Let me see her.
24:13Just once.
24:13Please.
24:15I promise.
24:16After that, I'll go.
24:19She's not your daughter.
24:21The moment you left her on that highway, you lost the right to be her father.
24:25Have some dignity.
24:26If you keep this up, I'll call the police.
24:30Who are you?
24:32Why are you interfering with my family?
24:34Allow me to introduce myself.
24:36I'm the assistant to the chairman of Bennett Group.
24:39Miss Bennett is the sole air stare to the Bennett fortune.
24:41She's now taken full control of the company.
24:47Bennett Group?
24:48You thought I was really dependent on you for everything?
24:51Dad pretended to be poor to see if you loved me or my money.
24:55Too bad.
24:55You disappointed him and you disappointed me.
24:58Grace!
24:59Let go of me!
25:00Mr. Reed, stay down.
25:07What's there to look at?
25:08This isn't our house anymore.
25:09Why are you embarrassing yourself?
25:12Lucy, I found Grace and Layla.
25:15They're not dead.
25:15They're alive.
25:17So what?
25:18They're doing fine now.
25:19Why would they want anything to do with a loser like you?
25:21I know I was wrong.
25:22I want to make it up to them.
25:23Make it up?
25:24With what?
25:24You have nothing.
25:25Can't even support yourself.
25:26You're insane.
25:27Lucy, please help me.
25:29I just want to see Layla.
25:30Once.
25:30I'm not helping you.
25:31You're the one who left them on the highway.
25:33You ruined this family.
25:34I'm doing fine now.
25:35Stay away from me.
25:37What do you want?
25:37I told you.
25:38Don't come here.
25:40Grace and Layla.
25:40They're alive.
25:42So what?
25:42What does that have to do with me?
25:44I just want to live my life in peace.
25:46Mom, I want to make it up to them.
25:48Can you help me?
25:50Help you?
25:51With what money?
25:51You're broke.
25:52Can't even feed yourself.
25:53And you want to make things right?
25:54You know what?
25:55If you just listened to me and never married Grace,
25:57none of this would have happened.
25:58Now Sophie's gone too.
25:59This is all your fault.
26:01Mom, how can you say that?
26:04Layla is your granddaughter.
26:05So what?
26:06I don't care.
26:06Dead or alive, doesn't matter.
26:08Don't come back.
26:09You're not my son anymore.
26:15Sophie, you said you were going back to your hometown.
26:18Lucas, are you insane?
26:19Who the hell are you?
26:20Touch my girl again.
26:21Sophie, tell me.
26:23What if Grace and Layla on the highway for you
26:25lost my family for you
26:26and this is how you treat me?
26:28Lucas, you don't actually think I liked you, do you?
26:31You have messes.
26:31Reed likes me.
26:32That's why I came around.
26:33You think I wanted to look at her mean face?
26:34The highway?
26:35You think Vivian was just being a brat?
26:36I told her.
26:37Make a scene.
26:38Refuse to sit with Grace and Layla
26:40and I'd buy her the whole Elsa collection.
26:41Lucas, from the start,
26:42I wanted Grace gone.
26:44I wanted her to die in that snow.
26:45Only then could I take her place.
26:47Too bad.
26:48She survived.
26:50Get lost.
26:50Come near Sophie again.
26:52I'll kill you.
27:05Remember me?
27:07December 23rd.
27:08A three-year-old girl.
27:09Pneumomia.
27:10Oxygen deprivation.
27:11Her mom brought her in.
27:12How is she?
27:12Is she okay?
27:13You have the guts to ask.
27:15Her mom carried her in knees.
27:16Where were you?
27:17She almost died in that ER.
27:18You wouldn't pay $50,000.
27:19Now you want to know how she is?
27:21She was transferred to city general.
27:23Top specialist.
27:24Three days and three nights
27:25to pull her back to life.
27:26Six months of rehab.
27:27She's still afraid of the dark, of snow.
27:29She shakes when she hears the word highway.
27:30Nightmares.
27:31Wakes up screaming for her mom.
27:32You want to know how she is now?
27:33Isn't that the former owner of the Reed Group?
27:36How did he end up like this?
27:37He left his wife and daughter on the highway.
27:39Then went bankrupt.
27:41Wife and daughter died.
27:42Karma.
27:48Grace!
27:52Lucas, what do you want?
27:54I want to see Layla.
27:55Just once.
27:55I promise.
27:56After that, I'll leave you alone.
27:58I know I was wrong.
27:58I know.
27:59I think about every day.
28:00About you.
28:01About Layla.
28:01Please.
28:02Give me one more chance.
28:04One more chance.
28:04Said to get rid of her.
28:05Where was her chance then?
28:07Lucas, some mistakes can never be fixed.
28:10Grace!
28:16Lucas Reed found this morning his rental suicide.
