00:13:2412 years

00:13:26to pay the millions in damages

00:13:27my 68 year old father

00:13:29drove night shifts

00:13:30for a delivery company

00:13:31until his heart burst

00:13:32over the steering wheel

00:13:32eight weeks later

00:13:33my grief strutten mother

00:13:35died alone in a rented room

00:13:36when their two death certificates

00:13:37arrived at my cell

00:13:38my world ended

00:13:39i stared at the concrete prison wall

00:13:41pulled my head back

00:13:43and slammed it forward

00:13:44then

00:13:45a sudden vibration in my palms

00:13:47i gasped

00:13:49throwing my eyes open

00:13:50my shaking hands

00:13:51were gripped around a steering wheel

00:13:54through the windshield

00:13:55a green sign flashed by

00:13:57interstate 90

00:13:58my phone buzzed in the cup holder

00:14:00with a new text from mom

00:14:01drive safe sweetheart

00:14:02pot's already on

00:14:05i didn't die

00:14:06i was reborn

00:14:0740 minutes before the slaughter

00:14:10my hands locked on the wheel

00:14:11like iron clamps

00:14:12the road ahead blurred

00:14:13into a streak of gray

00:14:14my body was physically remembering

00:14:15the ghost of a crash

00:14:16that hadn't happened yet

00:14:17the violent snap of the seatbelt

00:14:18the taste of airbagic smoke

00:14:19the screamings

00:14:19the car drifted toward the fast lane

00:14:21until a harsh horn

00:14:21jolted me back to reality

00:14:23i corrected the wheel

00:14:24and eased off the accelerator

00:14:25the digital speedometer dropped

00:14:2650

00:14:2745

00:14:28the phone buzzed again

00:14:28it was a voice call

00:14:29my fingers shook so violently

00:14:31i dropped the device twice

00:14:32into the footwell

00:14:32before the line connected

00:14:33elena sweetie

00:14:33are you almost here

00:14:34just that one word

00:14:35took everything i had

00:14:36my voice cracked thick

00:14:37with the tears i was forcing back

00:14:38what's wrong

00:14:46a heavy pause

00:14:47hung over the static

00:14:48then she let out

00:14:49that small embarrassed laugh

00:14:50she always used

00:14:50when emotion caught her off guard

00:14:52i love you too

00:14:52now stop being weird

00:14:53and just get here

00:14:54the line clicked dead

00:14:55i pulled the sedan

00:14:56into the slow bane

00:14:57i gave myself exactly

00:14:5860 seconds

00:14:5960 seconds to sob

00:15:00to let the hot tears

00:15:01soak my genes

00:15:02to grieve for two parents

00:15:03who were currently alive

00:15:04and oblivious just 40 minutes away

00:15:0561

00:15:06i wiped my face on my sleeve

00:15:08my eyes turning hard

00:15:09i looked at the highway

00:15:10like a math problem

00:15:10the original crash

00:15:11happened at mile marker 218

00:15:13i was currently passing

00:15:14marker wondered 96

00:15:15i had precisely 22 miles

00:15:17to change history

00:15:19i didn't know

00:15:19what had killed my brakes

00:15:20or if the invisible trap

00:15:21was already waiting

00:15:22i needed to know

00:15:23if i even had control

00:15:25i hovered my right foot

00:15:26over the brake pedal

00:15:27a simple test

00:15:28just to feel the mechanical response

00:15:30i pressed down

00:15:31the pedal was bricked

00:15:32the brakes were completely dead

00:15:33my stomach dropped

00:15:34through the floorboards

00:15:35it wasn't panic

00:15:36that filled my veins

00:15:36but something far colder

00:15:37it was the survival instinct

00:15:39of a woman

00:15:39who had already lived

00:15:40through this horror once

00:15:41and knew down to the millisecond

00:15:42how much time she had left

00:15:43i didn't waste time screaming

00:15:44i slammed my hand

00:15:45onto the dashboard

00:15:46and killed the engine ignition

00:15:47the glowing digital displays

00:15:48flickered and dimmed

00:15:49the hum of the engine died

00:15:50replaced by a rushing wind

00:15:51i slapped the hazard lights on

00:15:52the rhythmic clicking

00:15:53echoing like a ticking time bomb

00:15:54in the quiet cabin

00:15:55the sedan kept coasting forward

00:15:56on raw momentum

00:15:57bleeding speed far too slowly

00:15:5860 miles per hour

00:15:5955

00:15:59i wrenched the steering's wheel

00:16:01to the right

00:16:01angling's the gravel emergency lane

00:16:02on the right shoulder

00:16:03suddenly

00:16:03a massive semi-truck

00:16:04blew past on my left

00:16:05its air horn raged

00:16:06a deafening blast

00:16:07that shook my entire vehicle

00:16:08i ignored it

00:16:08i held the wheel steady

00:16:09letting the tires drift

00:16:10across the vibrating rumble strip

00:16:11crunch

00:16:11course and climbed

00:16:12the in front

00:16:12I slowed her slightly

00:16:13the rough fraction

00:16:13dragging at the tires

00:16:14pulling the car down

00:16:15to 40 miles per hour

00:16:1530

00:16:1620

00:16:17the end of the shoulder lane

00:16:18was approaching fast

00:16:19blocked by a heavy steel guard rail

00:16:21i brazed myself

00:16:22steering into the barrier

00:16:23at a shallow angle

00:16:24metal kissed metal

00:16:25a screeching grinding groan

00:16:26echoed through the frame

00:16:27as the car scraped along

00:16:27the guard rail

00:16:28throwing sparks into the twilight

00:16:29finally

00:16:30with a violent shiver

00:16:30the sedan stopped

00:16:31i sat frozen

00:16:32my hands glued to the wheel

00:16:33for a full minute

00:16:34before my lungs

00:16:34forgot it had to expand

00:16:3520 minutes later

00:16:36a blinding flash of yellow

00:16:37emergency lights

00:16:38pulled up behind me

00:16:39a highway technician

00:16:40in a bright reflective bouse

00:16:41climbed out of a patrol vehicle

00:16:42a jittle clapper

00:16:42already resting in his hand

00:16:44ma'am

00:16:44operator davis

00:16:45with highway assistance

00:16:45you called in a total

00:16:46deceleration failure

00:16:47yes

00:16:47the pedal went entirely dead

00:16:50davis slide into the driver's seat

00:16:52with a heavy sigh

00:16:53he started the engine

00:16:55shifted into gear

00:16:56and pumped the brake pedal

00:16:57then he did it again

00:16:59to my horror

00:16:59the pedal moved smoothly

00:17:00his heavy boot

00:17:01depressing it

00:17:02with zero resistance

00:17:03he drove the sedan

00:17:0420 feet forward

00:17:04along the gravel shoulder

00:17:05hit the brake hard

00:17:06and stopped on a dime

00:17:07the tires gripped

00:17:08the asphalt perfectly

00:17:09feels solid to me ma'am

00:17:10every hydraulic line

00:17:11is pressurized

00:17:12it wasn't working

00:17:13i'm telling you

00:17:14it was locked

00:17:14like concrete

00:17:15look no offense

00:17:17it's labor day traffic

00:17:18a long drive

00:17:19and the adrenaline gets go

00:17:20people hit the accelerator

00:17:21thinking it's the brake

00:17:22all the time

00:17:22it's an easy mistake

00:17:23for a lady to make

00:17:24i've been driving for 20 years

00:17:26he shrugged the patient

00:17:27patronizing shrug of a man

00:17:28who had heard that exact line

00:17:29from every panicked female driver

00:17:30he had ever pulled off

00:17:31a highway shoulder

00:17:32he didn't believe a single word

00:17:33can you tow it

00:17:34i want a full diagnostic

00:17:36at the nearest gas station

00:17:37ma'am

00:17:37it's a holiday weekend

00:17:38every flat board in the county

00:17:40is dragging mangled chassis

00:17:41out of intersections

00:17:43he stepped out of the car

00:17:44tossing the electronic keys

00:17:46back into my palm

00:17:46the soonest i could get a tow truck

00:17:48out here is tomorrow afternoon

00:17:49the vehicle is mechanically flawless

00:17:50just drive slow

00:17:51stay in the right lane

00:17:51and you'll be fine

00:17:52i watched his yellow patrol lights

00:17:53disappear into the dark highway corridor

00:17:55leaving me entirely alone

00:17:57i sat back in the driver of seat

00:17:58my fingers hovered over the ignition button

00:18:00my heart hummered against my ribs

00:18:02like a trapped bird

00:18:03was he right?

00:18:04was my mind playing tricks on me?

00:18:06was the trauma of my past life

00:18:08life hijacking my senses?

00:18:09i pressed the starter

00:18:11the engine roared to life

00:18:12i tentatively tapped the brake pedal

00:18:14with my right foot

00:18:14response

00:18:15perfect

00:18:16hydraulic response

00:18:17the car shuddered

00:18:18and slowed

00:18:18i tried it again

00:18:19and again

00:18:20what the fuck?

00:18:21it worked

00:18:21every single time

00:18:22ahead

00:18:23a hundred yards out

00:18:24the lead semi of the cowboy

00:18:25slammed on its brakes

00:18:27wall after wall

00:18:27of giant red trailers

00:18:28bloomed before my eyes

00:18:30like a rising firing tide

00:18:31no

00:18:32no

00:18:33no

00:18:35i rinsed the steering wheel

00:18:36left into the mediant lane

00:18:37a black suv swerved behind me

00:18:39its horn screaming in a panic

00:18:41as it scraped past the center line

00:18:42i tried to slip into the microscopic gap

00:18:45but it was too late

00:18:45the wall of red was twenty yards away

00:18:47ten

00:18:48five

00:18:52time stretched into a slow motion nightmare

00:18:54i saw my mother stirring the pot of roast

00:18:57my father pouring a cold beer

00:18:59the two people i had failed to save

00:19:00in a past life

00:19:01i no longer wanted to remember

00:19:04i'm sorry

00:19:06the impact hit from the front and back

00:19:09almost simultaneously

00:19:10my face violently smashed into the inflating airbag

00:19:12the seatbelt sliced into my collarbone

00:19:15like a burning wire

00:19:16behind me

00:19:17metal crumpled with a sickening slow groan

00:19:19of folding steel

00:19:20the world spun 90 degrees

00:19:21and violently slammed against the concrete guard ram

00:19:26smoke

00:19:26the toxic stench of coolant

00:19:28and scourge wrenched rubber

00:19:29i opened my eyes

00:19:30my limbs answered when i moved them

00:19:32i was alive

00:19:33but through the shattered windshield

00:19:34interstate 90 was a war zailed

00:19:36vehicles were twisted at horrible angles

00:19:38across all three lanes

00:19:39sirens wailed in the distance

00:19:40climbing in pitch

00:19:41i kicked the crumpled passenger door open

00:19:44and crawled out onto the warm

00:19:46a man with blood streaming into his mouth

00:19:48from a torn polo shirt

00:19:49slammed his fist onto my vehicle's hood

00:19:51his eyes wild with rage

00:19:52you were the one

00:19:53what the hell were you doing

00:19:53two state troopers shouldered through the furious crowd

00:19:56and lifted me to my feet

00:19:58but behind them

00:19:59another figure pushed through the bystanders

00:20:00it was davis

00:20:01his face was completely bloodless

00:20:04the color of wet paper

00:20:05he looked at me as if recognizing a ghost

00:20:07he had personally unleashed upon the world

00:20:10my brakes failed

00:20:11the state police precinct smelled like burnt coffee

00:20:13and floor wax

00:20:14gerald and patricia arrived 90 minutes after the call

00:20:16mom's hair was still damp from the kitchen steam

00:20:18her face pale with terror

00:20:19dad was still wearing the worn house slippers

00:20:21he hadn't bothered to change out of

00:20:23elena elena baby

00:20:25i held on to her without speaking

00:20:26burying my face in her shoulder

00:20:28i could not let go

00:20:29in my last life i had buried this woman

00:20:31i had buried both of them because of what happened next

00:20:34we sat together in a row of plastic chairs against the weeping wall

00:20:37hour after hour the precinct processed the night around us

00:20:40the blood-soaked statements

00:20:41the chaos

00:20:42the quiet tears of other broken families

00:20:44once dad crossed the floor to apologize to the driver with the banded forehead

00:20:47at six in the morning

00:20:49detective rains finally entered the interview room

00:20:51he set a heavy manelagy folder on the metal table

00:20:55miss marsh

00:20:56we've had three independent mechanics on your vehicle all night

00:20:59and

00:20:59the vehicle has no defects whatsoever

00:21:01brakes

00:21:02electronics

00:21:02hydraulics

00:21:03every system passes within factory specs

00:21:05furthermore the black box telemetry shows you never once engage the brake pedal

00:21:08during either incident

00:21:09that's because the pedal wouldn't move

00:21:11the pedal moved fine on the bench test

00:21:13it moved fine when officer davis drove it

00:21:16it moves perfectly fine right now in our impound garage

00:21:23detective cowan stepped forward from the shadow

00:21:25uncluffing a pair of heavy metal handcuffs

00:21:27the metal cuff loosed around my left wrist with a soft vinyl thick

00:21:30i stared down at the cold steel

00:21:31then my eyes drifted lower

00:21:32fixing on the cuffs of my jeans bunched over the tops of my shoes

00:21:35they were thick-said black driving loafers

00:21:37i remember derrick holt pressing the box into my hands at the dealership locks

00:21:40teeth flashing in a practice smile as he apologized

00:21:42anti-fatigue souls he had said

00:21:44a custom gift from me personally something inside my brain shifted

00:21:46a jagged puzzle piece slid into a slot it had been waiting for across two lifetimes

00:21:50wait

00:21:50detective cowan paused the second cuff hanging open in his hand

00:21:53give me one minute

00:21:54just one minute please

00:21:55detective rains crossed his arms

00:21:57his eyes narrow-garrowing in suspicion

00:21:58talk

00:21:59with my free right arm i swept a stapler

00:22:01and the metal manarily folder clattered onto the floor

00:22:03i quickly grabbed the remaining stationary arranging them on the cold surface

00:22:06this is the floorboard of the car

00:22:07this stapler is the brake pedal

00:22:08this pen is my foot

00:22:09i position the sample vertically angling the pen against it

00:22:11pressing my thumb firmly from above

00:22:12when i press the brake the pedal travels three to four centimeters

00:22:15my foot has to travel with it

00:22:16but if anything is wedged between the floor and my foot

00:22:19anything completely rigid

00:22:20the pedal can only move as far as that rigid object allows

00:22:23we checked the floor mats ms marsh

00:22:24we checked the entire foot room

00:22:25there was nothing

00:22:26you didn't check my shoes

00:22:27an absolute silence fell over the interrogation room

00:22:30cohen looked at rains

00:22:30rains slowly lowered his gaze to my feet

00:22:32let me take them off

00:22:33cowan reached down and unlocked the single metal cuff

00:22:36i bow and reached down and unlaced the lock the single metal cluffer

00:22:38treating it with the terrifying care of a person diffusing a live bomb

00:22:41i lifted it and placed it solust on the metal table

00:22:43i reached across the metal table toward the stationary cup

00:22:45i grabbed a pair of heavy metal scissors

00:22:47detective cowan's hand instinctively dropped his service belt

00:22:50detective rains took half a step forward

00:22:52ms marsh

00:22:53his hand

00:22:53i didn't hesitate

00:22:55i flipped the leather shoe over

00:22:56sole up

00:22:57and drove the pointed blade of the scissors

00:22:59straight down into the rubber

00:23:00both officers froze

00:23:03i sawed through the material with brutal force

00:23:05the outer leather parted first

00:23:07then the dense foam layer beneath it

00:23:08followed by a sheet of hard vulcanized rubber

00:23:11i worked the scissors deeper

00:23:12twisting the blades like a knife carving into tough fruit

00:23:15something solid and metallic struck the steel table

00:23:17through the slashed bottom of the shoe

00:23:18a polished steel rod rolled out

00:23:20stopping right against the manifold

00:23:21it was five centimeters long

00:23:23thin as a pencil

00:23:24and machined perfectly smooth at both ends

00:23:26nobody breathed

00:23:27rains reached out very slowly

00:23:29and picked up the steel cylinder between his fingers

00:23:32he held it up to the harsh fluorescent light

00:23:34turning it over

00:23:36what in the

00:23:37i was already stabbing the scissors back into the heel

00:23:39the high density foam resisted

00:23:41but i wedged the blade deep and twisted with all my weight

00:23:44a second steel rod popped out

00:23:46landing beside its twin with a sharp bright ching

00:23:49holy

00:23:50i kept cutting

00:23:51moving toward the arch

00:23:52my fingers were shaking violently now

00:23:54but my hands moved with absolute purpose

00:23:57i peeled the slashed leather back like skin

00:23:59from the deepest hollow of the soul

00:24:01a tiny black trentangle slipped out into my palm

00:24:03it was the exact size of a postage trailing two microscopic wires

00:24:05a coin-sized motor housing

00:24:06and an integrated receiver chip

00:24:07i dropped the electronic components onto the table next to the steel rods

00:24:10the room fell so dead quiet

00:24:12that the only sound left was the low electric buzz of the lights overhead

00:24:15the police electronics specialist arrived in 40 minutes

00:24:17he was a small man with steel-rimmed glasses

00:24:19and dark ink staining his fingertips

00:24:20he laid the cutlet of tiny may components out on a clean white cloth

00:24:22working under a heavy magnifof in absolute silence for 20 minutes

00:24:25when he finally looked up

00:24:26the routine boredom had completely vanished from his face

00:24:29this is a custom remote trigger assembly

00:24:31you have a radio receiver chip here

00:24:34and a micro-geared motor here

00:24:36the motor drives a manicoture worm screw

00:24:38that pushes these two steel rods outward

00:24:40like this

00:24:42he demonstrated the movement with his fingers

00:24:44sliding them apart diagonally

00:24:46inside the shoe's lining

00:24:48the rods are positioned at a specific angle

00:24:51when the motor activates

00:24:53they brace diagonally between the thick heel

00:24:55and the ball of the foot

00:24:56forming a perfect geometric triangle

00:24:59from the outside the shoe looks completely normal

00:25:01but the sole instantly becomes rigid

00:25:04the wearer's foot cannot compress it at all

00:25:07and when her foot moves to the brake pedal

00:25:09the pedal physically cannot depress

00:25:11the driver pushes down

00:25:14the rigid shoe presses against the pedal face

00:25:17but the solid steel triangle

00:25:20inside the sole transfers 100% of that force

00:25:24straight back into the car's steel floorboard

00:25:27the pedal won't move

00:25:29because it's physically blocked

00:25:31from the inside of the shoe

00:25:33the brakes never engage

00:25:34and what happens after the crash?

00:25:36the operator sends a second wireless signal

00:25:38the motor reverses

00:25:40the steel rods retract

00:25:41and the sole goes soft again

00:25:43the shoe looks like a normal shoe

00:25:45the car looks like a normal car

00:25:46detective rain sat down heavily in a metal chair

00:25:48he had not been planning to use

00:25:50that's why every single post inspection cleared the vehicle

00:25:51there was never anything wrong with the vehicle

00:25:53the car wasn't the weapon

00:25:54someone engineered this footwear to commit murder

00:25:56and to ensure she took the fall for it

00:25:57detective rain slowly lowered the metal rod

00:25:59his eyes fixing on mine

00:26:00miss marsh

00:26:01who gave you these shoes?

00:26:02derrick holt

00:26:03starvault motors

00:26:04the name left my lips like a curse

00:26:06in an instant the sterile precinct vanished

00:26:07replaced by the memory of a showroom

00:26:09that smelled of fresh carpet and leather

00:26:10three years ago in my last life

00:26:12i had walked into starvault alone

00:26:13my financing pre-approved

00:26:15having researched every engineering spec

00:26:16i asked derrick holt three highly technical questions

00:26:18about the vehicle's transmission options

00:26:20instead of answering

00:26:21derrick had looked me up and down

00:26:22flashing the condescending smirk menus

00:26:24on women they assume can't read

00:26:25he waved his hand toward the lounge

00:26:26tell you what

00:26:27bring your husband in this weekend

00:26:29we'll get the whole family taken care of

00:26:31i'm not married

00:26:36your boyfriend then

00:26:37your dad

00:26:37i was turning toward the exit

00:26:40when nora briggs

00:26:41another sales representative

00:26:42stepped in

00:26:43calmly and professionally

00:26:45she walked me through the actual inventory

00:26:47and the paperwork was finalized within an hour

00:26:50i was walking to my brand new silver sedan

00:26:52when derrick came jogging out into the parking lot

00:26:54all teeth and fake charm

00:26:56ma'am hold up

00:26:57i am so sorry about earlier

00:26:58it's been a crazy morning

00:26:59before i could reply

00:27:00his heavy polished dress shoe

00:27:01came down violently on the toe of my brand

00:27:03a massive black smudge ruined the clean canvas

00:27:05he already had a shoebox hidden behind his back

00:27:08oh no

00:27:08i am so incredibly sorry

00:27:10please let me make this right

00:27:11these are custom vip loafers

00:27:13anti-fatigue souls for long highway drives

00:27:15a gift from the dealership

00:27:16and from me personally

00:27:18back in the reality of the interrogation room

00:27:21detective rains closed his notebook

00:27:23and looked toward his partner

00:27:24cohen

00:27:25go fetch derrick holt

00:27:27derrick holt walked into the interrogation room

00:27:30with his collar opened

00:27:30and his hands slid casually into his pockets

00:27:33he glanced up at the security camera in the corner

00:27:35sat down without being asked

00:27:37and calmly crossed an ankle over his knee

00:27:39detective

00:27:40always happy to help law enforcement

00:27:42you know elena marsh

00:27:43she bought a sedan from us

00:27:47sure did

00:27:47a pair of driving loafers

00:27:49accidentally stepped on her sneakers

00:27:50out in the parking lot

00:27:50and felt terrible about it

00:27:51is giving a customer a nice apology gift to crime now

00:27:54detective rains didn't answer

00:27:55instead he opened a plastic evidence bag

00:27:57and placed the dissected black loafers flat

00:28:00on the metal table between them

00:28:01the cut leather flaps spread wide open

00:28:03beside the ruined shoe

00:28:04rains neatly lined up

00:28:06the electronic receiver chip

00:28:07the miniature motor

00:28:08and the two polished steel rods

00:28:10derrick looked down at the table

00:28:11his eyebrows lifted in slow

00:28:13highly theatrical confusion

00:28:14he leaned forward

00:28:14extending a finger

00:28:15to lightly tap one of the steel rods

00:28:17he turned it over

00:28:18mimicking the exact motion

00:28:19rains have used ours

00:28:19what even is this

00:28:20was this actually inside the shoe

00:28:22that's completely insane

00:28:23where did you guys find these

00:28:24he set the steel rod down carefully

00:28:25and shook his head

00:28:26the performance was flawless

00:28:27he had clearly practiced

00:28:28this exact reaction in a mirror

00:28:29look i buy those vip loafers

00:28:31wholesale from a third party supplier in bulk

00:28:32hundred pairs a year

00:28:33if some factory worker is stuffing

00:28:34what is that machinery

00:28:35into the soles before they ship them to my dealership

00:28:36i want answers just as much as you do

00:28:37rains remained perfectly silent

00:28:39staring at him

00:28:39derrick let the silence stretch

00:28:40trying to maintain his mask

00:28:41then he tilted his head with a casual

00:28:42honestly i feel terrible for ms marsh

00:28:44i really do

00:28:44i can't believe a silly little fender bader

00:28:45on the highway turned into all of this

00:28:46detective rains went perfectly stone still

00:28:48the low hum of the fluorescent light

00:28:49suddenly sounded deafling

00:28:50detective rains leaned forward

00:28:51placing both palms flat on the metal table

00:28:53staring directly into derrick's eyes

00:28:55yeah i mean it's terrible obviously

00:28:56but cars get scraped on holiday weekends

00:28:57all the time

00:28:58mr holt we brought you in for questioning

00:28:59regarding a targeted vehicle sabotage

00:29:00we told you elena marsh was here

00:29:01we told you her shoes were confiscated

00:29:03derrick nodded slowly

00:29:03but we never said where it happened

00:29:05we never said it was on the highway

00:29:06and we absolutely mentioned

00:29:07the word fender blash

00:29:08derrick's smug smile didn't vanish

00:29:09but it froze

00:29:09turning into a rigid plastic mask

00:29:11he shifted his weight

00:29:12his ankle slipping off his knee

00:29:13come on detective

00:29:14it's labor day weekend

00:29:15if a customer gets pulled over

00:29:16by state troopers on friday night

00:29:17it's obviously a traffic incident

00:29:18on the highway

00:29:18i just assumed

00:29:19you didn't assume

00:29:20you knew

00:29:20because you were monitoring her

00:29:22rains opened the marion folder

00:29:23and pulled out of certain logs

00:29:24with thousands of lines of encrypted data

00:29:26highlighted in bright yellow

00:29:27we didn't just test the car's brakes

00:29:28last night mr holt

00:29:29we pulled the internal telemetry logs

00:29:31from starbout motors central database

00:29:32every new sedan your dealership sells

00:29:34is connected to a proprietary logistics network

00:29:35the manufacturer can see the vehicle's speed

00:29:37location and mechanical status in real time

00:29:39that's standard inventory tracking

00:29:40it's completely legal

00:29:41it is

00:29:41but accessing that live data

00:29:43after the vehicle is sold

00:29:44from a private terminal

00:29:45outside of business hours

00:29:46is a federal privacy violation

00:29:48and according to the server log

00:29:49someone logged into the system

00:29:50using your personal employee credentials

00:29:51at exactly 5 15 p.m. yesterday

00:29:53you were watching her dashboard from your office

00:29:54you tracked her until she reached

00:29:55kilometer mark 210

00:29:56derrick holt's polished salesman facade

00:29:58didn't just crack

00:29:58it disintegrated

00:29:59he shrunk back into the metal chair

00:30:01his arms wrapping so tightly

00:30:02across his chest

00:30:02it looked like he was trying

00:30:03to hold his own ribs together

00:30:04i want my lawyer

00:30:05i'm not saying another word

00:30:06without my attorney present

00:30:06you hear me

00:30:07not one word

00:30:08detective rains didn't blink

00:30:09he simply leaned down

00:30:10his face inches from derrick's

00:30:11sweat-sheamed forehead

00:30:12and whispered with absolute

00:30:13freezing certainty

00:30:14you don't have to say a damn thing

00:30:15mr holt

00:30:16the digital footprints you left

00:30:17in her car system

00:30:17are already singing

00:30:18rains stood up

00:30:19scooped the heavy manarian folder

00:30:20off the table

00:30:21and walked out

00:30:21slamming the heavy iron door

00:30:22i was standing right outside

00:30:23in the dimly lit observation corridor

00:30:25my hands pressed flat

00:30:25against the one-way glass

00:30:26through the reflection

00:30:27i watched the monster

00:30:28who had murdered my parents

00:30:29rocking back and forth

00:30:29in his handcuffs

00:30:30rains turned to detective cowie

00:30:31his eyes hard as flint

00:30:32he's lawyered up

00:30:33but we have enough

00:30:42at 3 42 a.m

00:30:44the silence

00:30:45a sleepy suburban apartment complex

00:30:47was shattered

00:30:47boom

00:30:48a heavy steel battering ran

00:30:49pulgarized the dead bowl

00:30:50of apartment 4b

00:30:51the door flew n-word

00:30:52splintering off its hinges

00:30:55the apartment smelled

00:30:56of stale takeout

00:30:57in cheap cologne

00:30:57they pushed into the bedroom

00:30:58cohen dropped to his knees

00:30:59shining his tactical light

00:31:01into the narrow gap

00:31:01beneath the bed frame

00:31:02deep in the dust

00:31:03hidden behind a rye

00:31:04of empty designer shoeboxes

00:31:05sat a weathered

00:31:06vintage wooden crate

00:31:06cohen reached down

00:31:07and dragged it out

00:31:08into the light

00:31:09inside the wooden crate

00:31:09resting on a bed

00:31:10of anti-static foam

00:31:11was the smoking gun

00:31:19right before i drove

00:31:22but it was what cowen found

00:32:51for me

00:32:51behind the glass

00:32:52a cold weight lifted

00:32:52off my chest

00:32:53looking at derrick holt

00:32:54weeping with rage

00:32:54in his handcuffs

00:32:59out of the dark

00:33:00derrick holt's voice

00:33:01was still echoing

00:33:01off the concrete walls

00:33:02of the interrogation room

00:33:03when detective cowan

00:33:03there was no hesitation

00:33:04he grabbed derrick's

00:33:06and slammed the heavy

00:33:17shallow marched him

00:33:18out of the wheeze

00:33:18detective reigns

00:33:20meeting my eyes

00:33:21through the mirror

00:33:21he walked out

00:33:22into the observation corridor

00:33:23his heavy boots

00:33:23clicking rhythmically

00:33:24against the linoleum floor

00:33:25he stopped right in front of me

00:33:25taking off his trench coat

00:36:57and then turned to sleep

00:36:57and froze upon my shoulders

00:36:58madam ashford

00:36:59beneath the piazza colonnade

00:37:00and sat

00:37:01and watched

00:37:03in the family chapel

00:37:04reet had been locked in

00:37:06without food or water

00:37:07or a fire

00:37:07forbidden to leave

00:37:08until he consented

00:37:09his mother visited him

00:37:11each morning

00:37:11with the codicier papers

00:37:12in her hand

00:37:14he bore the cold

00:37:14and the hunger

00:37:15in silence

00:37:27he came across the flagstones

00:37:28with a slow

00:37:29deliberate step

00:37:29of a man not certain

00:37:30his legs would carry him

00:37:31to where he needed to go

00:37:32the servants drew back

00:37:33from him as from

00:37:33something holy

00:37:34or contagionous

00:37:34he stopped before me

00:37:36and knelt on the gravel

00:37:36at my feet

00:37:37in his right hand

00:37:38was the service revolver

00:37:39he held it out to me

00:37:51the cold iron of the pistol

00:37:52bit into my palm

00:37:53and the tears finally broke

00:37:54but i would endure a thousand

00:37:55more lashes raid

00:37:56before i ever watch you

00:37:58he squeezed my hand

00:37:59the hammer fell

00:38:01blood flowered through

00:38:02the linen of his shirt

00:38:02i screamed without sound

00:38:04he staggered

00:38:05white as bone

00:38:06and let me gather him

00:38:07into my arms

00:38:22from the new orleans halls

00:38:23a creature dredged up

00:38:24from the gas lit gutters

00:38:25whose virtue was sold

00:38:26to the highest bidder

00:38:27long before she ever

00:38:27set foot in this house

00:38:28she is nothing to me

00:38:30he kissed my forehead

00:38:31and walked

00:38:32with the wounds still wet

00:38:34across the courtyard

00:38:34to camille ashford's wing

00:40:28camille knelt beside the bed

00:40:29and held madam ashford's hand

00:41:01i will give it to her myself

00:41:06i felt his weight upon the mattress

00:41:07the familiar dip of it

00:41:10with a tenderness

00:41:10i remembered from a thousand

00:41:11mornings

00:41:12and held a small porcelain cup

00:45:33that blood seeped

00:45:35from the cracked corner

00:45:36of my mouth

00:45:37the next morning

00:45:39not long after

00:50:13reet saw the blood

00:50:14at camille's throat

00:50:15and drove his boot

00:50:16into my stomach

00:50:16i went down without a sound

00:50:17blood ran from my nose

00:50:18in the corner of my mouth

00:50:19his face changed

00:50:20when he saw it too late

00:50:36one verse

00:50:38for each hour

00:50:39the chapel bell rang

00:50:40until madame ashfield

00:50:41was satisfied

00:50:43that my soul

00:50:44had repented

00:50:44of striking

00:50:46the eldest son's wife

00:50:47the chaplain

00:50:48set out the rosewood hoop

00:50:51his eyes refusing mine

00:50:52by dusk my fingers

00:50:53would not close without spasm

00:50:54and i was driving the needle through

00:50:55by pressing the eye

00:50:56against the heel of my palm

00:50:57by the second evening

00:50:58the broken skin of both hands

00:50:59had darkened the black silk

00:51:00to a deeper rust

00:51:02from mine iniquity

00:51:03and cleanse me

00:51:04from my sin

00:51:10i stitched past it

00:51:12i stitched past the moment

00:51:13the needle went clean

00:51:14through the web of my palm

00:51:15and a slow bead of blood

00:51:16worked along the thread

00:51:16and bloomed in the linen

00:51:17darker than the silk

00:51:19when i fell

00:51:19i fell forward across the altar

00:51:21and the hoop slid out

00:51:22from under my cheek

00:51:22and the unfinished stamp

00:51:23dropped to the stone

00:51:25i woke to ice water

00:51:26flung in my face

00:51:27and to camille's voice

00:51:28telling the servants

00:51:39to shade my face

00:51:40my cracked lips moved

00:51:41a sound escaped me

00:51:43not quite a laugh

00:53:04looking for a chamber pot

00:53:05and there they were

00:53:05in the magnolia walk

00:53:06the pretty widow

00:53:21the lanterns in the jasmine archer

00:53:23swung in the wind

00:53:23a figure emerged

00:53:24from the magnolia walk

00:53:25smoothing the front of her dress

00:53:26with both gloved hands

00:53:27her pearl shoulder

00:53:28my pearl shoulder

00:53:29catching the lantern light

00:53:31looking for someone dear

00:53:32the whale oil lantern

00:53:33in the jasmine arch went out

00:53:35a pistol muzzle

00:53:35cold as iron drawn from a well

00:53:37pressed against the back of my skull

00:53:38a second pair of hands

00:53:39leashed a small dark weight

00:53:40against my ribs

00:53:41a catch in his grenade

00:53:42its percussion cap already primed

00:53:43one hard landing

00:54:31close around my throat

00:54:32and drag me into a wagon

00:54:34the roadside chapel was a ruin of beams

00:54:35and rotten pews

00:54:36the kidnapper untied his neckcloth

00:54:38and wiped his face

00:54:38and looked at me as a butcher looks at meat

00:54:40the lady who paid me said to keep you breathing

00:54:41she did not say keep you whole

00:54:43he struck me

00:54:44he tore at my bodice

00:54:54no reed

00:54:55my body began to cool from the souls upwards

00:54:57i thought with a great strange tenderness

00:54:59how clean a thing i once was

00:55:00die bound to a man so unclean

00:55:02i closed my eyes

00:55:04when i opened them again

00:55:06and rape was screaming at three physicians

00:55:08to save me or be shot

00:55:09his eyes were red as wounds

00:55:10his voice had been used up some hours before

00:55:12eleanor eleanor

00:55:13they said you would not wake

00:55:16he gathered me against his chest

00:55:17the brass buttons of his gray uniform

00:55:19pressed into my cheek

00:55:20for one suspended moment

00:55:21i was a girl again in his arms

00:55:22in some charleston summer before the war

00:55:24and his love for me had been so clean

00:55:26i had drank from it as from a spring

00:55:29then i saw the marks camel had left in the hollow of his throat

00:55:31my stomach turned over

00:55:33i turned my face away

00:55:34the motion split the wound at my tilla

00:55:36and bright blood ran into my ear

00:55:38that night

00:55:39i could not choose you

00:55:41camille carries the future of this house

00:55:43i would have come at dawn

00:55:44i swear it on my life

00:55:45i could not answer

00:55:46the cracked corner of my mouth would not shape a word

00:55:48the chamber door opened

00:55:50madam ash heard swept in upon her cane

00:55:51camille followed in fresh silk

00:55:59to a brothel in mobile

00:56:00reet rose from the bedside

00:56:01he looked at me as if i had become a stranger in the dark

00:56:03then he struck me across the face

00:56:05with the back of his hand

00:56:06madam ashford struck me across the other cheek

00:56:08with the head of her cane

00:56:09camille pressed a lace handkerchief to her lips

00:58:04he bore me down upon the rug

00:58:08i rose out of myself and watched

00:58:09from somewhere near the cornich molding

00:58:11a woman who looked like me being used

00:58:13when the woman could move again

00:58:14she dragged herself across the floor by her elbows

00:58:17her torn fingernails left long red trails on the polished heart pine boards

00:58:21she pulled herself over the high threshold

00:58:23she fell down the icy stone steps into the courtyard snow

00:58:26behind her

00:58:27in the chamber

00:58:27she heard camille laugh

00:58:29and the bed springs begin again

01:00:33My lord, you're hurt

01:00:40We're both old

01:00:41That fight took the last of what we had left

01:00:44Listen to me

01:01:36Run now, bastard

01:01:56William, what's wrong, darling?

01:01:58Charlie's trying to kill me

01:02:01Quick, hide inside

01:02:09I got him

01:02:15Well done, sweetheart

01:02:26Bring his mother too

01:02:30Mother

01:02:36Stay here

01:02:37No, not my boy

01:02:39Everyone

01:02:40These two retchels have been occupying my home

01:02:42Illegally

01:02:43This bastard nearly got me killed too

01:02:46The nerve

01:02:47No, he's lying

01:02:48It's our house

01:02:49It's always been ours

01:02:50Do you have proof?

01:02:51I have the deed

01:02:56That's our deed

01:03:00Did you approach me just to steal it from us?

01:03:05Of course

01:03:06Why else would I even speak to you?

01:03:08You actually thought I'd love you?

01:03:15Let go of me

01:03:16Everyone

01:03:17Look at this

01:03:18What do you think it is?

01:03:19A snake

01:03:20That's the devil's mark

01:03:21A bad omen

01:03:22He'll bring disaster

01:03:25Could that be the dragon mark?

01:03:27That's the dragon mark

01:03:28Legend says whoever bears that mark

01:03:30Can wake the dragon and rule the world

01:03:32You're crazy

01:03:33That's a fairy tale

01:03:34There's no such thing as an ancient dragon

01:03:35You old fool

01:03:37Did I see it wrong?

01:03:38You hired some old bard to make up this nonsense

01:03:40Do you think we're all idiots?

01:03:42Kill him

01:03:43Burn him

01:03:48Throw this old hag into the dungeon

01:03:49And throw this bastard into the abyss

01:03:51My boy

01:03:53Mother

01:04:11Bye bye William

01:04:13A magicless wretch like you belongs in that cursed abyss

01:04:18This is the price of crossing me

01:04:39This is the price of crossing me

01:04:40The dragon will awaken

01:04:43In three days

01:04:57So this is the bottom of the abyss

01:05:00I'm actually alive

01:05:26Legend says whoever bears that mark

01:05:28Can wake the dragon and rule the world

01:05:34Are you the legendary dragon egg?

01:05:37Listen to me believing tales for children

01:05:46Is this magic?

01:05:49Did my magic awaken?

01:09:39I'll burn you at the stake

01:09:46Father, you finally returned

01:09:48The storms left the roads a mess

01:09:50I heard you were in an accident

01:09:51Three days ago

01:09:52My carriage lost control

01:09:53And fell into the river

01:09:55A brave man pulled me out

01:09:57Who was he?

01:09:58I didn't catch his name

01:09:59He didn't look like a noble

01:10:00But he carried himself better than one

01:10:03Sam

01:10:03Prepare a generous gift for that man

01:10:08Father, I'd like to go myself

01:10:09Olivia

01:10:10You will not keep company with strangers

01:10:12You are to be wed to a noble family

01:10:13No more talk of calling it off

01:10:21Still clinging to that worthless rock?

01:10:23Guess it'll be your only company

01:10:25To hell

01:10:26Only trash would treasure trash

01:10:34Oh my god

01:10:39It's identical to the ancient dragon egg of legend

01:10:43If it's still alive

01:10:44Then

01:10:48Charlie, do whatever you want to me

01:10:50Just let her go

01:10:51Don't worry

01:10:51Once you're a charred up corpse

01:10:53I'll naturally let her go

01:10:54No

01:10:55No, my boy

01:10:57Did you see that?

01:10:59See what?

01:11:00That stone egg is hatching

01:11:14No

01:11:14Only a dragon egg responds to its master's rage

01:11:17It is demon craft

01:11:20Look at these 13 cracks on it

01:11:22An unlucky number

01:11:23And look at the back of William's hand

01:11:24It's a true serpent mark

01:11:26The devil's creature

01:11:28He'll bring a curse down

01:11:30On all of us

01:11:33No, my boy

01:11:36And then let us

01:11:38Burn him

01:11:47Light it

01:11:50No, my boy

01:11:51It won't work

01:11:52The ancient dragon lord fears no fire

01:11:54Fire is the dragon's weapon

01:11:56Oh, shut up, you lunatic

01:12:02This is the end, you pathetic wretch

01:25:25The storm's left the roads a mess.

01:25:27I heard you were in an accident.

01:25:28Three days ago, my carriage lost control and fell into the river.

01:25:50No more talk of calling it off.

01:25:57Still clinging to that worthless rock?

01:26:00Guess it'll be your only company to hell.

01:26:02Only trash would treasure trash.

01:26:11Oh my god.

01:26:16It's identical to the ancient dragon egg of legend.

01:26:19If it's still alive, then...

01:26:25Charlie, do whatever you want to me.

01:26:35See what?

01:26:37That stone egg is hatching.

01:26:40Martin, take your fairy tales and leave.

01:26:43This is no place for a dodgering old fool.

01:26:48A dragon egg?

01:26:49Please, it's a demon serpent egg.

01:26:51No.

01:26:51Only a dragon egg responds to its master's rage.

01:26:55It is demon craft.

01:26:57Look at these 13 cracks on it.

01:26:59An unlucky number.

01:27:00And look at the back of William's hand.

01:27:01It's a true serpent mark.

01:27:03The devil's creature.

01:27:05He'll bring a curse down on all of us.

01:27:10No, my boy.

01:27:13And then let us burn him!

01:27:23Light it.

01:27:27No, my boy!

01:27:28It won't work!

01:27:29The ancient dragon lord fears no fire.

01:27:31Fire is the dragon's weapon.

01:27:33Oh, shut up, you lunatic.

01:27:34Quit spouting your stupid story.

01:27:39This is the end, you pathetic wretch.
