Short filmTranscript
00:00Lindsay, you don't deserve to be a mother. Hand the baby over.
00:02Cole stood at the door of room 302.
00:04Natalie and two bodyguards at his back, blocking the way.
00:06I'd just given birth.
00:07Even the smallest movement set my incision on fire and whited out my vision.
00:10And Cole had already brought people to take my baby by force.
00:12In my last life, those were the same words.
00:14Back then I was only three days postpartum.
00:16Just sitting up was a battle.
00:17The moment I heard he wanted to take my baby, the first thing I did was cry.
00:20I begged him through tears not to touch my child.
00:22Natalie stood right behind him, her eyes rimmed red.
00:25Cole, she's not stable. It's postpartum.
00:27One sentence. That was all it took.
00:28They labeled me crazy. My baby was taken.
00:31I chased them into the hallway.
00:32My incision tore open.
00:34I hemorrhaged and blacked out.
00:35When I woke up, I was in a psychiatric ward.
00:39Three months later, I died in there.
00:41And now Cole was still standing in the doorway.
00:43Natalie was still behind him, eyes rimmed red as if she were the one being wronged.
00:47She was the woman Cole had protected for years.
00:49I was the wife who had just given birth and yet she carried herself like the baby's rightful owner.
00:53Not me.
00:53I stayed silent for two seconds, then reached over and pressed the call button by my bed.
00:58Within seconds, the night shift nurse pushed the door open.
01:01Room 302, what's going on?
01:03I pointed at the people in the doorway.
01:05Call the police.
01:07Someone's trying to take a newborn.
01:09It's two in the morning. There's more than one of them.
01:15Lindsay, what is wrong with you now?
01:17If you think I'm crazy, book me with psychology.
01:19But what you're doing right now, I'd start with the criminal division.
01:24Cole's face darkened.
01:25He took a step toward the bed.
01:27Sir, this is the maternity care unit.
01:28Unauthorized persons are not allowed inside.
01:30The nurse moved in front of him at once, blocking his path.
01:32I'm the child's father.
01:33A father doesn't get to barge into a postpartum room at 2 a.m. with bodyguards.
01:37And right now, I don't even recognize you as one.
01:39It was probably the first time he'd ever heard me speak to him this way.
01:42He hesitated for half a beat, then called my name.
01:45Don't say it like you know me.
01:46He froze.
01:46Natalie stepped forward.
01:47Her voice so soft, it was almost a whisper, as if afraid of disturbing someone.
01:51Lindsay, please don't do this.
01:53Cole's just worried about the baby.
01:54Worried about the baby?
01:56So he brings two bodyguards into the maternity ward at 2 in the morning?
01:59Is this how your family expresses fatherly love?
02:01Committing a crime?
02:02Lindsay, Natalie is only trying to help you.
02:04Sure, she can help.
02:05Right after she shows me her medical license.
02:08No license?
02:09Then it's not concern.
02:10It's defamation.
02:11Cole, I knew she'd take it the wrong way.
02:13Look at yourself.
02:14Do you see what you've become?
02:15A woman three days out of a C-ception getting her baby snatched at 2 a.m.
02:19And you?
02:20You're being led around by the nose and calling yourself the sane one.
02:24You know nothing about the law and you're proud of it.
02:26Lindsay, don't push me.
02:28Cole, don't push the law.
02:30The baby is right there.
02:32Take him tomorrow, this whole city will know the Cole family raided a maternity bout at 2 a.m.
02:36By then, I'm the father won't save you.
02:38You could call yourself the president, you'd still sit through an investigation first.
02:41He still hadn't caught up.
02:42In the past, the second he frowned, I'd rush to explain.
02:46But this time, I wanted him to do the explaining.
02:48By what right was he taking my baby?
02:50Lindsay, the doctor says you're not in your right mind.
02:53You're mentally unstable.
02:54How are you supposed to raise this child?
02:56Cole took it and glanced down.
02:58His face dartened further.
03:00Lindsay, what do you have to say to that?
03:02This was the moment, before, when I'd scramble, scramble to defend myself.
03:06And the more I insisted I wasn't crazy, the more convinced they got that I was.
03:10This time, I didn't grab the paper.
03:12I didn't cry.
03:13I just looked at Natalie.
03:15Which hospital issued it?
03:16Which doctor signed it?
03:18When was the evaluation done?
03:19Was I informed?
03:20Who signed the consent form?
03:21And here's the heavy one.
03:22How did I, the actual patient, never hear about being evaluated?
03:27Lindsay, you're so worked up right now.
03:28I was just afraid.
03:29Don't be.
03:31Give me the doctor's number.
03:32I'd like to ask him how he diagnosed me long distance.
03:36Do you have to be this aggressive?
03:37She brings a piece of paper from God knows where in the middle of the night to take my
03:41baby, and that's concern.
03:43I ask two questions about where it came from, and that's aggressive.
03:47Cole, your sense of fairness sure knows who to side with.
03:50On the page, there was just one so-called expert signature.
03:54No confirmation from me.
03:55No stamp from the maternity center.
03:57And the date.
03:58The date was the day before I gave birth.
04:02Fascinating.
04:02My baby wasn't even born yet, and this expert already knew I'd be mentally unstable after
04:07delivery?
04:08The nurse took the evaluation, looked at it for a few seconds, and her expression shifted
04:12too.
04:13Mr. Cole, this document was not issued by our center.
04:16There's no physician's seal from this facility, and no record of the patient's acknowledgement.
04:21Procedurally, it cannot be used as grounds to remove a newborn.
04:24It's not from your center.
04:26Cole had a specialist do it.
04:27Where is the specialist?
04:28Bring him in.
04:29Right now.
04:29If he can actually prove I'm insane, I'll cooperate with the consultation on the spot.
04:34But until he gets here, Natalie, say one more word about my mental state it, and I'll
04:38add defamation to the list.
04:40For the first time, Natalie's composure slipped.
04:43In her last go-round, one sentence from her had been enough to condemn me.
04:47This time, she was being asked to show her sources.
04:50I'm calling the police now.
04:52The nurse picked up her phone.
04:53Cole, no police!
04:54If this blows up, it's bad for Lindsay too.
04:57Bad for me?
04:57How?
04:58I'm a postpartum patient getting her baby snatched at her door, and I'm supposed to
05:02worry about the reputation of the people doing the snatching?
05:05Natalie, when did you get so good at guilt-troping?
05:08Hello, this is Anhei Maternity Center.
05:10We have unauthorized persons in room 302 attempting to remove a newborn.
05:13The patient has clearly refused.
05:15He looked at me and lowered his voice.
05:17Lindsay, are you sure you want to take this that far?
05:20Yes.
05:21Don't regret it.
05:22A little early for that line.
05:24Regret usually shows up a lot later.
05:28The baby in the crib stirred.
05:29A tiny hand worked its way out from the swaddle.
05:31I just want to see the baby.
05:32The nurse blocked her instantly.
05:34Miss Natalie, please step away from the crib.
05:36Everyone, take a good look.
05:38If she trips toward the baby, I suggest you classify it as assault on a newborn.
05:42Do you really have to think the worst of her?
05:43I wish I didn't.
05:44But since she walked through that door, she's hit every mark.
05:47Psych eval, paternity test, edging toward the crib, not one step out of place.
05:50She couldn't keep crying.
05:51She realized her tears didn't work on me anymore.
05:53Before, every time she cried, I gave up ground.
05:55Now, every time she cries, I add another item to the evidence list.
05:59The nurse hung up.
06:00The police are on their way.
06:01The supervisors hadn't arrived.
06:03The police hadn't arrived.
06:04But Natalie was already losing it.
06:06She bit her lip like she'd finally made up her mind,
06:08then pulled a second document out of her bag.
06:11Lindsay.
06:12If you really insist on calling the police, then I'll just have to tell the truth.
06:16Here it comes.
06:17I know this piece of paper too well.
06:19It's the one that, before, made Cole look at me like a stranger.
06:22Natalie passed the document to Cole.
06:25Cole, this baby isn't yours.
06:28Cole took it.
06:29The two words on the cover.
06:32Paternity test.
06:33Stared up at him, glaring.
06:36I didn't want to say it.
06:37But the way things are now, we can't leave the baby with her.
06:40Cole stared down at the paternity report.
06:42The hospital lights were stark white, leeching the warmth out of his knuckles.
06:47Cole, I know this is brutal for you, but you can't stay in the dark about your own child.
06:52Cole didn't say a word.
06:53He just looked at me.
06:54But I was in no rush to explain.
06:56I just looked at Natalie.
06:58Who collected the sample?
06:59What?
07:00I asked you.
07:02Who collected the sample?
07:04I leaned back against the headboard, the pain at my incision turning numb.
07:08But my voice came out clear.
07:10Who sent it in?
07:11Who signed the authorization?
07:13He's three days old.
07:14Outside of nurses changing his diaper, he hasn't even left this room.
07:17So whose sample did your test actually use?
07:21He finally looked down at the string of numbers at the bottom of the report.
07:25Lindsay, the sample isn't the point right now.
07:27The result is...
07:27Wrong.
07:28The sample is the most important part of Eternity Test.
07:30No clear sample, no result.
07:32Just a piece of trash paper.
07:35What, did my son crawl out in the middle of the night, sit through your test, and crawl back to
07:39bed?
07:41I just had someone get the sample for me.
07:44Who?
07:47Who, a ghost?
07:48Can't say their name if they're still alive?
07:50Cole finally spoke, and for the first time, there was scrutiny in his voice.
07:54Natalie, who gave you the sample?
07:56Cole, are you doubting me now?
07:59Before, that line alone would have sent Cole straight to her side.
08:03This time, Cole didn't answer right away.
08:07Cole, don't rush to doubt her.
08:09First, think back.
08:11Since you walked into this room, have you asked one question about where that sample came from?
08:16A three-day-old newborn.
08:18No sampling record, no consent from the mother,
08:20no log of anyone entering or leaving the nursery,
08:22and out of nowhere, a paternity report appears from Natalie's bag.
08:25Your first reaction isn't to ask where the sample came from,
08:27it's to ask what I have to say for myself.
08:29Is that how you sign contracts at work?
08:31Lindsay, why do you have to put it so ugly?
08:34Ugly?
08:35Then let me clean it up.
08:36Miss Natalie produced a paternity report with an unknown source,
08:39unknown authorization, and an unknown sample,
08:41and attempted to use it to remove my child.
08:43Better?
08:44Nurse, could you check whether the newborn in 302
08:46has had any sampling record these past three days?
08:49The nurse went straight to the computer.
08:51This time, I asked first.
08:53She backed me up after.
08:54A moment later, she read off the screen, word by word.
08:57Nothing.
08:58The newborn in 302 has not left the care unit since birth.
09:01No blood craws, no cheek smobs,
09:03no samples of any kind on file,
09:04ID bracelet, feeding records, overnight rounds, all complete.
09:07Just because your center has no record doesn't mean nowhere else does!
09:10True.
09:11Which brings us back to the question.
09:12How did somewhere else get that sample?
09:15Did my baby ship it over himself?
09:18Or did your people reach into the maternity ward?
09:21I didn't...
09:22Didn't what?
09:23Didn't forge it?
09:24Didn't pay someone off?
09:25Didn't try to use a fake test to take my baby?
09:28Cole, I was just afraid you were being fooled.
09:31Afraid he'd be lied to.
09:33So you lied to him first?
09:35Enough.
09:36Is that enough?
09:37Because I've asked enough?
09:39Or because she's slipped up enough?
09:40Cole didn't answer.
09:42Natalie still wasn't giving up.
09:45She drew in a breath and straightened her back.
09:47Even if this report can't prove the sample source,
09:49it still doesn't prove the baby is safe.
09:51She looked at the crib.
09:52We're this hostile right now.
09:53Who's to say she won't snap and hurt him?
09:55We've gone full circle.
09:57Right back to I'm crazy.
09:58Natalie, is that the only hat you brought tonight?
10:00I'm just worried.
10:01Worry needs grounds.
10:02You say I'm insane.
10:03Show me the diagnosis.
10:04You say the baby isn't Cole's.
10:06Show me a legitimate test.
10:07You say I'll hurt him.
10:08Show me the evidence.
10:09You've got nothing.
10:10Just, I'm worried.
10:11Well, I'm worried you're trying to steal a baby.
10:13Should we detain you first?
10:15Just then, hurried footsteps came from the corridor.
10:18The maternity center's supervisor had arrived.
10:20She had a coat thrown over her shoulders,
10:22hair a little disheveled,
10:23clearly dragged out of bed.
10:24The second she stepped in,
10:25she went straight to Cole.
10:25Mr. Cole, I'm so sorry about all this.
10:28Is there some kind of misunderstanding?
10:29I raised an eyebrow.
10:30She wasn't even steady on her feet,
10:32but she'd already picked her side.
10:33Cole stayed silent.
10:34The supervisor turned to me,
10:35forcing a smile.
10:36Lindsay, you've just delivered.
10:38Try not to get worked up.
10:39Whatever the issue is,
10:40we can handle it internally.
10:41Handle it internally?
10:42Yes.
10:42The baby is so small,
10:43and the mother needs rest.
10:44If this gets blown up,
10:45no one benefit.
10:47I went quiet for two seconds.
10:48Nurse, would you take this down for me, please?
10:50Take down what?
10:51Upon arrival,
10:52the on-duty supervisor
10:53of Anhem Maternity Center
10:54did not immediately secure
10:55the surveillance footage,
10:56did not ask how unauthorized purse
10:58had entered the maternity unit,
10:59and did not verify
11:00the visitor's authorization.
11:01Her first words were,
11:02handle it internally.
11:04Lindsay, that's not what I meant.
11:05Then what did you mean?
11:06That a break-in into the nursery
11:08at midnight isn't serious?
11:09That people showing up
11:10with mystery paperwork
11:11to take a newborn isn't serious?
11:13Or that,
11:14with Mr. Cole standing right there,
11:16it had better not be serious?
11:20Lindsay,
11:21the supervisor's just trying
11:22to help you, too.
11:24So many people are helping me tonight.
11:25One's trying to take my baby.
11:27One says I'm insane.
11:28One brought a fake test.
11:29Now another wants to handle it internally.
11:31A couple more,
11:32and I won't be able to tell
11:32if this is a maternity ward
11:34or a damage control summit.
11:36Lindsay,
11:37please watch your language.
11:38I'd love to,
11:39but you all showed up
11:40at midnight handing me material.
11:42It's hard not to run with it.
11:46Lindsay,
11:47do you have to leave everyone
11:49with no way out?
11:50I'm not leaving you
11:51with no way out.
11:52You all picked the wrong room.
11:54This is a maternity board,
11:56not the Cole family living room,
11:57and definitely not Natalie's stage.
12:00The supervisor finally
12:02steadied her tone.
12:03Lindsay,
12:03I understand you're upset,
12:05but Mr. Cole
12:06is the child's father after all.
12:08Some of this
12:08we can sit down and discuss.
12:10Talk.
12:11Fine.
12:12But first,
12:13write up an incident report.
12:14One,
12:14at 2 a.m.,
12:15unauthorized persons
12:16entered the maternity care unit.
12:17Two,
12:17said persons attempted
12:18to remove a newborn
12:19using unterrified documents.
12:20Three,
12:20the patient explicitly refused.
12:22Four,
12:22the center's supervisor
12:23recommended handling it internally.
12:24And when you're done,
12:25you sign it.
12:25Whoever wants to handle it
12:26can take the fall.
12:28This,
12:28this can't be written that way.
12:30Can't be written that way?
12:31Which part is wrong?
12:32That they didn't come?
12:33That they didn't try to take him?
12:35That I agreed?
12:36Or that you never said
12:37handle it internally?
12:42This time,
12:43the nurse picked up her log
12:44on her own.
12:46Lindsay,
12:46I can go ahead
12:47and start the duty log.
12:51That was when
12:52the supervisor really panicked.
12:54Cole was looking at her too.
12:56Why did your center
12:57let us come straight up?
13:02Mr. Cole,
13:03the front desk
13:04said you were a VIP.
13:06VIP?
13:07So if you look rich enough,
13:08you can bypass the front desk,
13:10bypass authorization,
13:11bypass the actual mother,
13:12and just walk upstairs
13:13to claim a baby?
13:15This isn't a luxury
13:16maternity center.
13:18It's a self-service counter
13:19for the rich.
13:23Lindsay,
13:24we will absolutely
13:24investigate this.
13:25Not will.
13:27Investigate.
13:27Seal the footage now.
13:29Access logs,
13:30visitor logs,
13:31shift handovers,
13:32front desk clearances,
13:33all of it.
13:34Sealed.
13:35If you don't seal it,
13:37the moment the police arrive,
13:38I'll tell them you refused.
13:41Natalie's face
13:42turned a shade worse.
13:43She probably hadn't expected
13:44that the woman
13:45she'd meant to silence
13:46with one line
13:46about mental instability
13:47would now be coming
13:48for the supervisor too.
13:50Natalie clearly saw it too.
13:52A flash of panic
13:53and her voice went soft again.
13:56Cole,
13:56I really don't mean any harm.
13:58I'm just afraid
13:59something will happen
13:59to the baby.
14:00If Lindsay won't let us take him,
14:02at least let a doctor evaluate
14:04whether his environment is safe.
14:05Here we go again.
14:07Did I say something wrong?
14:09Consistently wrong.
14:10The biggest safety risk
14:11to this baby
14:12isn't his mother.
14:13It's the outsider
14:13who keeps producing
14:14psyche valves,
14:15paternity tests
14:16and trying to creep up
14:17on the crib.
14:18I'm an outsider?
14:19What else?
14:20What are you to this child?
14:22Whatever you are to Cole,
14:24I don't care.
14:24But your relationship
14:25to my child?
14:27Spell it out right now.
14:28Mother,
14:29guardian,
14:30authorized visitor,
14:31you're none of them.
14:32So you're an outsider.
14:34I knew that line
14:35cut deeper than anything
14:36else I'd said
14:37because what she wanted most
14:38was to step over me
14:39into the space
14:40between Cole and the baby.
14:42But my baby was not a prop
14:43in her performance
14:44and he was not her ticket
14:46into the Cole family.
14:47When Natalie heard the sirens,
14:49her eyes lost their composure
14:50for a moment.
14:51Without thinking,
14:52she looked at the crib again.
14:54And right then,
14:55the baby in the crib
14:56started to cry.
14:57A small,
14:58soft sound,
14:59like a kitten.
15:00My heart clenched.
15:02I started to push myself up.
15:03But Natalie learned for him
15:05faster than I could move.
15:06The baby!
15:07Miss Natalie!
15:09What are you doing?
15:13I'm just worried about him.
15:15Cole's grip locked
15:16around Natalie's wrist.
15:17She stayed frozen
15:18in front of the crib.
15:19She recovered fast.
15:20The tears came up instantly.
15:21Cole, you're hurting me.
15:22Lindsay,
15:23he was crying so hard.
15:24I just wanted to help you
15:25soothe him.
15:25Why do you have to think
15:26the worst of me?
15:27Soothe him?
15:27You needed a running start
15:28to soothe him?
15:29The nurse blocked you
15:29and you kept going?
15:30Natalie,
15:31do you usually soothe babies
15:32by tackling them?
15:33Natalie's tears stalled.
15:35She bit at Lip,
15:36like she'd just been
15:36wronged beyond words.
15:38Lindsay,
15:39you're being so paranoid.
15:40I'm just worried about him.
15:42Worried?
15:42So worried you go
15:43past his mother,
15:44past the nurse,
15:45straight for the crib?
15:46Are you worried about him
15:47or worried he's still next to me?
15:50No.
15:51Cole,
15:51don't listen to her.
15:52She just wants to turn
15:53everyone against her.
15:54Natalie,
15:55don't rush to slap a label on me.
15:56Everyone in this room
15:57saw you lunge.
15:58Why don't you give us
15:58a live demo?
15:59Show us how a normal person
16:01just wants to see the baby,
16:02running start included.
16:03She wasn't just crying anymore.
16:05Her voice was sharpening.
16:07I was afraid
16:07something would happen to him.
16:08You've been blocking everyone
16:09from getting near him.
16:10How do we know
16:11you don't have something to hide?
16:12Something to hide?
16:13People with something to hide
16:14call the cops.
16:15People with something to hide
16:16demand the footage be sealed.
16:17People with something to hide
16:18make you account for your sample.
16:20Natalie,
16:20people with something to hide
16:22usually don't want
16:23the police showing up.
16:24People like you.
16:25That was when footsteps
16:26echoed from the corridor.
16:29Two uniformed officers
16:30stepped into the room.
16:31The lead officer
16:32swept the room with a glance,
16:34looked at the baby
16:35in the nurse's arms,
16:36then at me.
16:37Who called it in?
16:38I did.
16:39I asked her to.
16:41I'm the patient in 302.
16:42These unauthorized people
16:43entered the maternity care unit
16:45at 2 a.m.
16:45and tried to take my baby.
16:47That's not what happened.
16:48Officer,
16:48we weren't taking the baby.
16:49Cole is the father.
16:50We were just worried
16:51about her postpartum
16:52mental state.
16:53See?
16:54The cops walk in
16:55and she's back
16:55behind the doctor's desk.
16:57Are you a doctor?
16:59No.
17:00Then what medical basis
17:01do you have?
17:01I leaned back
17:02and slowly stuck
17:03the knife in deeper.
17:04She has a postpartum
17:05mental instability evaluation.
17:08Except it was dated
17:08the day before I gave birth.
17:10Which means I hadn't
17:11gone postpartum yet
17:12and she already had me
17:13postpartum unstable.
17:17This document was not
17:18issued by our center
17:19and there's no record
17:20of the patient
17:20acknowledging it.
17:26Natalie's face
17:26turned darker.
17:27Cole stood off to the side
17:29and for the first time
17:30said nothing in her defense.
17:32Natalie panicked.
17:33She turned to him.
17:34Cole,
17:34say something!
17:35First tell me clearly.
17:37Who gave you the sample?
17:38I almost smiled.
17:40Cole had finally
17:41asked the right question.
17:42A little late.
17:44Someone tipped me off.
17:45Who tipped you off?
17:47An anonymous message.
17:49How convenient.
17:50You're all running
17:51anonymous tonight.
17:52The psych expert
17:53never showed up.
17:54The DNA sample
17:55came from nowhere.
17:56Snatching a baby
17:57is for my own good.
17:58Natalie,
17:59is your team's whole brand
18:00just no one's accountable?
18:02What are you asking
18:03for right now?
18:04She says I'm insane.
18:06I want the source
18:07of the diagnosis traced.
18:08She says the baby
18:09isn't Cole's.
18:10I want the sample
18:11source traced.
18:12She says she's
18:13just worried about him.
18:14I want to know
18:15whether she was here
18:15last night.
18:17Because every move
18:18she's made tonight
18:19is too rehearsed.
18:22This is not
18:23her first time.
18:24Lindsay!
18:25What grounds
18:26do you have for that?
18:27Grounds?
18:28You were more frantic
18:29than the actual mother.
18:30The second he cried,
18:31you didn't call the nurse.
18:32You didn't ask
18:33what was wrong.
18:33You charged the crib.
18:34Natalie,
18:35the biggest risks
18:35to a three-day-old
18:36are impact and infection.
18:38You know postpartum
18:39risks so well.
18:40How do you not know that?
18:43Can you pull surveillance
18:44and access logs right now?
18:46Yes.
18:47Yes we can.
18:48Last night's too.
18:50Last night?
18:51I looked at Natalie.
18:53I don't think tonight
18:54was spur of the moment.
18:55I think she's been here before.
19:01Looks like I called it.
19:04Don't try to bluff me!
19:05Bluff?
19:06Fine.
19:07Pull the footage.
19:08If you weren't here,
19:09the cameras will clear you.
19:10You love being cleared, right?
19:12The supervisor sent someone
19:14to pull the footage.
19:15The room went quiet.
19:16The baby's crying
19:17was getting frantic.
19:18The nurse rocked him
19:19a couple of times
19:20and laid him back down
19:21beside me.
19:23I touched his little cheek.
19:25He slowly settled.
19:28I didn't look up,
19:29but I could feel
19:30Cole watching me.
19:31I think it was the first time
19:33he realized
19:33I wasn't throwing a fit.
19:35Too bad.
19:36Figuring it out now
19:37isn't clarity.
19:38It's a makeup exam.
19:40The supervisor
19:41came back with a tablet.
19:43Her face was grim.
19:44Officer,
19:45at 9.42 last night,
19:47Miss Natalie
19:47was indeed on the premises.
19:49I was not!
19:50The supervisor
19:50passed the tablet over.
19:52On screen,
19:53a woman in a mask
19:54and a gray coat
19:55slipped in through
19:56the side door.
19:57She'd covered herself well,
19:58but the pearl bracelet
20:00on her wrist
20:00was clear as day.
20:02Natalie was wearing it
20:03tonight too.
20:09How convenient.
20:10Your bracelet
20:11showed up anonymously too.
20:13Natalie.
20:15You were here last night?
20:17I just...
20:18I was just worried
20:19about Lindsay.
20:20Worried about me?
20:21So you sneak in
20:21through the side door
20:22at night in a mask?
20:23What, did the front entrance
20:24not allow concern?
20:25Lindsay, stop hammering
20:26every little detail!
20:28Details?
20:29The source of the psychobab
20:30is a detail.
20:31The DNA sample
20:32is a detail.
20:32Walking into the maternal
20:33center at night
20:34is a detail.
20:34Then what's the main point?
20:35Once you've walked off
20:37with my baby,
20:37is that the main point?
20:42Whose access card
20:43did she use?
20:44It wasn't a visitor sign-in,
20:45it was an internal
20:46staff card.
20:47Whose?
20:49The supervisor
20:50looked at the nurse.
20:51Chloe.
20:53She's not on shift tonight.
20:54Bring her in.
20:57Now?
20:58What?
20:58An outsider gets
20:59into the maternity ward
21:00on your employee's badge
21:01and that one's another
21:02handle it internally?
21:05Call her in.
21:07Now.
21:07They brought Chloe in.
21:09She was a nursing aide
21:09in her 30s.
21:10Hair messily tied back.
21:12Clearly pulled out
21:13of bed too.
21:13The moment she stepped in
21:14and saw the uniforms,
21:15her knees buttled.
21:17Officers,
21:18I don't know anything.
21:19I swear.
21:20I haven't even asked.
21:22And you already don't know.
21:24Not a great opening line.
21:26I don't know her.
21:30Natalie, you don't know her.
21:32So why is she looking at you?
21:33She walks into a room
21:34full of strangers
21:35and her first instinct
21:36isn't fear.
21:37It's checking your face.
21:38Some kind of stranger.
21:40Lindsay, stop spouting nonsense.
21:41I ignored her
21:42and turned to Chloe.
21:43At 9.42 last night,
21:44your access card
21:45was used to enter
21:46through the side door.
21:47The woman on the footage
21:48is wearing the same bracelet
21:49as Natalie.
21:50So when you say
21:50you don't know anything,
21:51did your card grow legs
21:52and walk off on its own?
21:54I might have lost it.
21:56Lost it?
21:57When?
21:59Yesterday.
22:00Yesterday evening.
22:01What time?
22:02I don't remember.
22:03Did you report it lost?
22:06Chloe,
22:07failure to report a lost badge
22:09resulting in an outside
22:10entering the maternity ward
22:11by itself
22:11that cost you your job.
22:13But if you helped someone
22:13obtain information
22:14on a newborn,
22:15helped fake a paternity test,
22:16even helped prepare
22:17to move that baby,
22:18then you're not losing your job.
22:20You're losing your freedom.
22:21You better tell the truth.
22:23Officer,
22:24she really doesn't know anything.
22:25Lindsay's just scaring her.
22:28You're awfully fast
22:29to speak up for her.
22:30I thought you didn't know her.
22:35I kept pressing Chloe.
22:38How much did she pay you?
22:42She didn't...
22:43Enough to take a child
22:44trafficking charge for her?
22:46I didn't traffic anyone!
22:48Then spell it out.
22:49What did she ask you to do?
22:51Just swipe a card?
22:53Photograph the baby's ID band?
22:54Or help her draft
22:55a hospital transfer?
22:58I called it.
22:59Natalie panicked too.
23:01Chloe!
23:02Don't let her bait you!
23:04Miss Natalie,
23:05please do not interfere
23:05with the questioning.
23:06Her legs gave out
23:07and she dropped to her knees.
23:09I swear,
23:10I didn't know
23:10she wanted to hurt him.
23:12I thought she just wanted
23:13to confirm
23:14whose baby he was.
23:15She told me
23:16he might not be Lindsay's.
23:17She said Mr. Cole
23:18was being deceived.
23:19You're lying!
23:20I'm not lying!
23:21You're the one
23:21who told me
23:22to photograph his ID band.
23:23You told me
23:23to photograph his care chart.
23:25You told me
23:25to send you
23:25the night shift round schedule.
23:27You said
23:27if I drafted
23:28a temporary transfer order,
23:29the rest wasn't my problem!
23:33Cole slowly turned
23:34his head toward Natalie.
23:36The look in his eyes
23:37wasn't suspicion anymore.
23:39It was shock.
23:42Transfer order?
23:43No.
23:44Cole,
23:44it's not what you think.
23:45Then what is it?
23:46That at three days old
23:47you'd already arranged
23:47a transfer for him?
23:48Or that before I,
23:49his mother,
23:50had a chance to sign anything
23:51you were ready
23:51to make the decision for me?
23:52I was afraid
23:53you'd hurt him.
23:55So where were you
23:56taking him?
24:00The hospital's name.
24:02I don't know
24:02the full name.
24:03She only sent me
24:04a transfer template.
24:05It said
24:07Hillcrest Children's
24:08Rehabilitation Hospital.
24:12I didn't cry.
24:13I didn't shout.
24:15I just looked down
24:16at the baby in my arms.
24:19He was so small.
24:20Cried out.
24:21His eyelashes wet
24:22and clinging.
24:22His little fingers
24:23fist in my hospital gown
24:24like he was holding
24:25onto the whole world.
24:26I lifted my head
24:27and looked at Natalie.
24:28Hillcrest.
24:29Familiar name.
24:30In Mas life,
24:31like they told me
24:31my baby died there.
24:33Couldn't be saved.
24:33I never even got to see him
24:34one last time.
24:39They told me
24:40he couldn't be saved.
24:43I never got to say goodbye.
24:46They told me
24:47he couldn't be saved.
24:52I never got to say goodbye.
24:58I don't know
24:59what you're talking about.
25:03That's fine.
25:04Let me ask you
25:05a few simple ones.
25:06The ID band
25:07you had Chloe photograph it.
25:08The care chart
25:09you had Chloe photograph it.
25:10The night shift rounds
25:11you had Chloe send to you.
25:12The transfer template
25:13you'd already prepared it.
25:14Natalie?
25:16Is that worry for the baby
25:17or a route
25:18you'd already planned for him?
25:22I just wanted to move him
25:23somewhere safer.
25:24Safer?
25:25Then why not go through
25:26proper channels?
25:26Why not tell the mother?
25:27Why not file under
25:28the father's name?
25:29Why have a nursing aide
25:30secretly photograph
25:31an ID band?
25:33Why bring a crew
25:34at 2 a.m.
25:35to grab him?
25:36Because you wouldn't agree.
25:38Right.
25:39No normal mother
25:40would agree to let
25:40a strange woman
25:41ship her baby
25:42to a strange hospital
25:42in the middle of the night.
25:43That's not me being difficult.
25:45That's me being awake.
25:51Cole finally spoke.
25:52His voice was hoarse.
25:56Natalie.
25:58Why Hillcrest?
26:00Cole, even you
26:01suspect me now?
26:02I'm asking you why.
26:04Not whether you feel wronged.
26:08She stepped back.
26:09The tears were still falling,
26:11but her eyes
26:12weren't soft anymore.
26:14Everything I did
26:15was for you.
26:16For him.
26:17So you stole
26:18my baby's information?
26:20For him?
26:21So you faked
26:22my psych eval?
26:23For him?
26:23So you tried
26:24to transfer my son out?
26:27Natalie,
26:28on this for him
26:28packing me
26:29and my baby
26:29just the default victims?
26:35That line cut.
26:36Her voice spiked.
26:38If you hadn't
26:39given birth to him,
26:40would I have
26:41ended up like this?
26:45Keep going.
26:46But I wasn't
26:47done with her.
26:49You just said
26:50if I hadn't
26:51given birth to him.
26:53Which means
26:53you hate him.
26:56I leaned back.
26:57The pain at my incision
26:58thinned my voice,
26:59but I bit out
27:00every word.
27:01The psych eval
27:02was to prove
27:02I'm insane.
27:03The paternity test
27:04was to make him
27:05illegitimate.
27:05The transfer paperwork
27:07was to get him
27:07out of my sight.
27:08Hill's Grace
27:09was the next stop
27:10you'd lined up.
27:10Natalie,
27:12from the start
27:13you never meant
27:13to let him live.
27:14Shut up!
27:18I bent over him
27:19and soothed him quickly.
27:20The nurse stepped forward
27:21without thinking,
27:22putting herself
27:23between Natalie
27:23and the crib.
27:24Miss Natalie,
27:25control yourself.
27:26Why?
27:26Why does she get
27:27to do nothing
27:27and have this baby?
27:28As long as he's alive,
27:29every Cole has their eyes on him.
27:30As long as he's alive,
27:31I'll never set foot
27:32inside that family.
27:33I stood beside Cole
27:34for years.
27:35Who the hell is she?
27:36Natalie.
27:37Shut up!
27:39Now you want
27:39to play sane?
27:40I said she was crazy
27:41and you believed me.
27:42I said the baby
27:43might not be yours
27:44and you believed me.
27:45I said taking him away
27:46was for his own good
27:47and you brought
27:48the bodyguards yourself.
27:53Cole,
27:54if she hadn't
27:55called the police tonight,
27:56you'd already be
27:57walking out of here
27:58with him.
27:59Did you hear that?
28:00That part's actually true.
28:02Natalie was still laughing.
28:04Why are you looking
28:05at me like that?
28:06Think I'm the villain
28:06every single time
28:07you believed me first?
28:08When Lindsay cried,
28:10she was making a scene.
28:11When she explained,
28:12she was making excuses.
28:12When she called the cops,
28:13she was losing it.
28:14She just got a little smart
28:15all of a sudden.
28:16Shut up!
28:17But it was too late.
28:18The things she should have said
28:19and the things she shouldn't,
28:21she'd already said them all.
28:22Officer,
28:23was all of that enough
28:24to put in the record?
28:25It will be.
28:26Miss Natalie,
28:27you'll need to come with us
28:28for questioning.
28:29Cole!
28:30You won't help me?
28:34You wanted to hurt my child.
28:36Your child!
28:37Your child!
28:38Were you just doubting
28:38he was yours?
28:39I held the baby
28:40and patted his back gently.
28:41Cole,
28:43don't play the victim in here.
28:46You weren't fooled.
28:47You were too lazy to check.
28:49I said I wasn't crazy.
28:51You didn't check the diagnosis.
28:55I said you couldn't take him.
28:56You didn't check the authorization.
28:59Natalie said he wasn't yours.
29:01You didn't check the sample.
29:02She said it was for his own good.
29:04You didn't even ask
29:05where she was taking him.
29:06Now the truth is right in front of you
29:07and now you're sorry?
29:09Your regret has impeccable timing.
29:11Always shows up once it's safe.
29:16I-
29:17Don't!
29:18In my last life,
29:19I'd have softened.
29:20I'd have thought he'd finally seen the truth.
29:22Now I just thought he was noise.
29:24She was still fighting them
29:25when they took her out.
29:26You think you've won?
29:28Even without me,
29:29the Coles will never let you keep that child!
29:30Then the Cole family can get in line.
29:32Police first,
29:34court second.
29:35Help!
29:36Help!
29:37Help!
29:40The room finally went quiet.
29:42The baby had fallen asleep in my arms.
29:45His tiny breath warmed my palm,
29:47in and out, soft.
29:49Lindsay,
29:50I know it's too late to say anything now.
29:52Good.
29:53Then don't.
29:53The records I asked for,
29:55I'd like them now?
29:56Yes.
29:57Right away.
29:58And the clearance log
29:58for how Mr. Cole's group got in tonight.
30:00I want that too.
30:05Give it to her.
30:06Mr. Cole has finally learned
30:08to cooperate with procedure.
30:09Wonderful.
30:11Next time you want to learn something,
30:12I'd recommend not practicing
30:13on someone else's child.
30:16He's my child too!
30:17The temperature in the room dropped again.
30:21So?
30:22I have the right to know how he's doing.
30:24I have the right to see him.
30:25Rights?
30:26Fine.
30:27Let's keep talking about rights.
30:29Tonight,
30:30without my consent,
30:31you forced your way into my room with a team.
30:33You tried to take a newborn
30:34on unverified documents.
30:36You worked with Natalie
30:37to pressure me in my own room.
30:39You almost handed our son
30:40to a route she'd already mapped out.
30:42You think any of that
30:43written into a report
30:44helps you when you file
30:45for visitation later?
30:47You're restricting my access?
30:49Yes.
30:50Until the investigation closes,
30:52you do not approach my child.
30:53Going forward,
30:54visitation goes through the court.
30:57You really have to be this cold?
30:59There it is again.
31:00You take the baby,
31:01that's for his own good.
31:03I protect him,
31:03that's cold.
31:04Your script needs an update.
31:07I look down at the baby.
31:10Also,
31:12I want a divorce.
31:14Lindsay.
31:15I want full custody.
31:16I want the Cole family
31:16to publicly state on record
31:18that I have no postpartum mental disorder,
31:20that I did not cheat
31:22and that I did not harm my child.
31:24I want every record from tonight backed up.
31:26I want Natalie and everyone involved
31:27held accountable.
31:28None of this is up for discussion.
31:30This is a notice.
31:31You're really going this far?
31:33I'm not going this far.
31:34You all already did.
31:35I'm just filling in the paperwork.
31:39I was wrong.
31:42And cooperate with the investigation.
31:46A long time passed before he spoke again.
31:49You really won't give me a single chance?
31:51I begged you many times
31:52to trust me,
31:53not to take him.
31:55At least to hear me out once.
31:56You never listened.
31:57Not once.
32:01Nurse,
32:02would you check whether he was frightened by any of that?
32:04The nurse came over right away.
32:10He's fine for now.
32:12Cried himself to sleep.
32:13Mr. Cole,
32:14the mother and the newborn both need rest.
32:16Please leave.
32:19Lindsay,
32:20I was wrong.
32:21He looked at me,
32:22his voice rough.
32:24Good that you know,
32:25when they take your statement,
32:26make sure you tell the truth.
32:31Natalie,
32:32Chloe,
32:32and that transfer paperwork
32:33all went to the police station together.
32:36The maternity center
32:36sealed the surveillance
32:37and access systems overnight.
32:40The supervisor came to me the next day
32:42and said the center
32:43would take full responsibility.
32:45Asked her,
32:45responsibility how far?
32:47Put it in writing.
32:49Verbal responsibility
32:50isn't responsibility.
32:53Someone from the Cole family
32:54came by once.
32:56Said they wanted to sit down and talk.
33:00Talk about what?
33:03Mr. Cole is the child's father,
33:05after all.
33:06Then please bring the records
33:07of him breaking in
33:08to take the baby at 2 a.m.
33:10along with you.
33:15After that,
33:16I stopped having
33:16private conversations.
33:18The divorce went through court.
33:21Custody went through court.
33:22The retraction and accountability
33:24went through the proper channels too.
33:27The Cole family
33:28wanted to keep up appearances.
33:29I made them learn
33:30to follow the rules first.
33:33Cole came too.
33:36That day,
33:37I was about to take the baby home
33:39from the maternity center.
33:43Lindsay,
33:44can I just see him once?
33:48I glanced down
33:49at the baby in my arms.
33:51He was sleeping smoundly,
33:53his little hand fisted
33:54in the front of my coat.
33:56No.
34:00I just want one look.
34:03Just one look now?
34:05When you were taking him,
34:07did you give me one choice?
34:08No.
34:10No.
34:11Lindsay,
34:12I didn't know...
34:13That wasn't didn't know.
34:14That was didn't bother to check.
34:18I know I was wrong.
34:19I really do.
34:21Then make fewer mistakes
34:23from here on out.
34:26I held the baby
34:27and walked past him.
34:31A few steps later,
34:32he called after me.
34:34You really won't give me
34:35any chance at all?
34:37Cole,
34:38I gave you plenty of chances.
34:40I used to wait for you
34:41to believe me.
34:42This time,
34:43I waited for the police.
34:45They got here faster
34:46than you did.
34:52The moment the door shut,
34:53the baby stirred in my arms.
34:55I bent down
34:56and kissed his forehead.
34:57In this second life,
34:59I didn't rush
34:59to take revenge.
35:00I called the police first.
35:02Some people can't stand the light,
35:04flick the switch,
35:05and they fall apart
35:06on their own.
35:07them.
