Short filmTranscript
00:00My husband gave my kidney to his mistress's mother, and when I was dying, he told me to be patient.
00:08At midnight, my phone suddenly rang. It was Zoe, my husband Marcus's junior resident.
00:14Thank you, Mrs. Hayes.
00:16I'm really grateful your husband Marcus used his position to secure a kidney for my mother tonight.
00:22My husband?
00:24You've got the wrong person. Marcus is in Boston tonight for emergency surgery.
00:28Besides, he's always been ethical. He would never break protocol. Not even for you.
00:35No, I don't have the wrong person.
00:37Marcus saw my Instagram post, where I begged for a kidney for my mom.
00:42He was at the airport when he saw it, but he turned right around and rushed to the hospital.
00:47And within five minutes, he bypassed the entire Tramland system.
00:50The line went dead. I stood there, staring at my phone. That's when I heard it.
00:54Keys turning in the lock. I looked up as my husband walked through the door.
01:00You said you had a surgery tonight. In Boston.
01:04I did have plans. But when I saw Zoe's post about her mother, I couldn't just leave her.
01:11The kidney that was supposed to be yours, I redirected it to Zoe's mom.
01:15Mom. You're younger. You can wait a little longer.
01:20I have stage 4 kidney cancer. He knows how rare it is to find a match.
01:25He knows I've been on the transplant list for three years.
01:28When my parents begged him to use his connections as chief of nephrology, just once,
01:34he'd lectured them about ethics.
01:36Life is equal.
01:38I won't play favorites. That's not who I am.
01:42But now, now he'd stolen my kidney. The one with my name on it.
01:47And given it to his 24-year-old protege.
01:50It took me a full minute to find my voice. My hands were shaking.
01:54Marcus. I want a divorce.
01:58And I'm reporting you to the medical board.
02:02Tonight.
02:04I turned toward the door. Marcus grabbed my wrist, his grip tight, his expression hard,
02:09and his voice cold and clinical.
02:12Sienna. Stop being dramatic.
02:14I know you're in pain. I know you're frustrated.
02:17As your husband, I'm more frustrated than you are.
02:20But Zoe's mother is 72 years old.
02:23She's out of time.
02:24Can't you have a little compassion?
02:26She's out of time?
02:27What about me, Marcus?
02:29I'm on dialysis three times a week.
02:31I'm dying. I have one foot in the grave already.
02:34Who's showing me compassion?
02:36You know, if I don't get this surgery soon, I'm going to die.
02:41Don't be ridiculous.
02:42You know I won't let you die.
02:45We'll get you the next kidney.
02:46You just need to be patient.
02:48I felt something inside me die.
02:50Marcus.
02:51I've been waiting for three years.
02:54When my parents came to you crying, begging you to do something,
02:58what did you tell them?
03:01I could still see it.
03:03My mother on her knees.
03:04My father.
03:05A man who'd never asked anyone for anything.
03:08Breaking down in Marcus' office.
03:10You let them kneel on the floor and beg.
03:12You didn't even look at them.
03:14You told them they were asking you to compromise your integrity.
03:17That all lives are equal.
03:18That you couldn't, wouldn't bend the rules.
03:21You said they were trying to make you into a bad doctor.
03:23I believed you.
03:24I told myself you weren't heartless.
03:26You were just principled.
03:28You were a good doctor.
03:29I was proud of you.
03:30But Zoe posts one Instagram story and suddenly you can steal a kidney off the transplant list?
03:35Where's your all lives are equal speech now?
03:38Zoe and her mother, they only have each other.
03:41If her mother dies, Zoe will be completely alone.
03:44I'm a doctor.
03:45I had a moment of weakness.
03:49So you used my life to save hers?
03:52Your moment of weakness is going to kill me, Marcus!
03:55I-
03:56I'm going to the hospital.
03:58Right now.
03:59I'm getting my kidney back.
04:01Don't.
04:04The force of it whipped my head to the side.
04:06Pain exploded across my cheek.
04:08I looked at him, my vision blurring.
04:10Marcus stared at his own hand, his face pale with shock.
04:13Sienna.
04:13He reached for my face.
04:14I didn't mean-
04:16I jerked away from him.
04:17I tried to slap him back, but my body gave out.
04:20I collapsed.
04:20Sienna!
04:21Marcus caught me before I hit the floor.
04:23Sienna, I'm sorry.
04:24Panic flooding his face.
04:26He laid me on the couch, his hands shaking as he fumbled for my medication.
04:31That's when his phone rang.
04:33He glanced at the screen and answered immediately.
04:36After a few quiet words, his face went grim.
04:39Sienna, Zoe's mother is having a rejection episode.
04:42I need to go.
04:43Now.
04:45Stay here.
04:46Don't do anything.
04:47He didn't even find my pills.
04:49The door slammed shut.
04:50I was alone.
04:51I dragged myself off the couch and crawled to the medicine cabinet.
04:54My hands shook so badly, I dropped the pill bottle twice.
04:58Tears dripped onto the floor.
05:00This time, I finally understood.
05:03Marcus was never coming back.
05:06Marcus didn't come home for three days.
05:09He didn't call.
05:10Didn't text.
05:11Nothing.
05:12But I knew exactly where he was, because Zoe's Instagram kept me updated.
05:17While I lay in bed, barely able to move.
05:20Marcus was spending every night at the hospital with Zoe and her mother.
05:23She posted a photo of their hands intertwined.
05:26She says,
05:27Because of you, I have the courage to fight fate.
05:30When I forced myself to the kitchen to choke down stale bread, Marcus was taking Zoe to a high-class
05:36restaurant.
05:38Nine photos.
05:39All gourmet dishes.
05:40I mentioned I never went to restaurants as a kid.
05:43He said he'd take me to taste the whole world.
05:45When the pain got so bad, I was rolling on the floor, biting down screams.
05:50Zoe posted pictures from a temple.
05:52She says,
05:53He came with me to pray for my mother's recovery.
05:56But I'm more grateful to God for sending me this guardian angel.
05:59That's when I realized, I'd missed my dialysis appointment.
06:03Marcus was too busy with his protege to remember.
06:07He'd never bent the rules for me, but he'd cared.
06:10Or so I thought.
06:11If you are gone, I cannot live alone.
06:15He used to remind me to take my pills.
06:18Check my vitals.
06:19Hold my hand during dialysis.
06:22When did it all change?
06:24When Zoe showed up.
06:25At first, Marcus used to complain about her.
06:28She's useless.
06:30Cries at the drop of a fat.
06:32Can't do anything right.
06:34Then his complaints turned softer.
06:36She only has her mom.
06:38She worked her way up from nothing.
06:40It's tough.
06:41Then he started smiling when he talked about her.
06:43My junior resident is kind of clumsy, but she's got grit.
06:48One night, he looked at me with this distant expression.
06:52You know what I admire most about Zoe?
06:54Her vitality.
06:56I spend all day around dying patients.
06:58And she's just alive.
07:01He caught my expression and backtracked.
07:03I'm not talking about you.
07:06Sienna, don't take it personally.
07:08Once you get better, you'll be just like her.
07:10Full of life.
07:11But he started coming home later.
07:13And later.
07:14And then not at all.
07:16Always too busy.
07:18Too busy to celebrate Christmas with me.
07:21But not too busy to steal my kidney for Zoe's mother.
07:24I drifted in and out of consciousness.
07:26At some point, I thought I heard Marcus's voice.
07:29Sienna?
07:29Asking if I was okay.
07:31Are you okay?
07:32But when I opened my eyes, there was a woman standing behind him.
07:36This wasn't a dream.
07:37Marcus had come home, and he'd brought Zoe with him.
07:40This was the first time I'd ever seen Zoe in person.
07:43She wasn't pretty.
07:44Not like I'd imagined.
07:46She was small, plain, almost mousy, with outdated clothes and no makeup.
07:51But this unremarkable girl had somehow taken everything from me.
07:54Mrs. Hayes, thank you for letting my mother have your kidney.
07:58I told Marcus I wanted to take care of you, to repay your kindness, and he agreed.
08:05I didn't gave your mother anything.
08:07If you want to repay me, give me back my kidney!
08:13That's enough, Sienna.
08:15Zoe's trying to do something nice.
08:16Why are you being so difficult?
08:17He didn't even look at me.
08:18He just put his arm around Zoe, who was tearing up now, and guided her out of the room.
08:23Don't cry, Zoe.
08:24This isn't your fault.
08:25His voice was gentle.
08:27If she wants to blame someone, let her blame me.
08:30Half an hour later, Zoe reappeared, carrying a bowl of soup.
08:35Mrs. Hayes, you should eat something.
08:38Don't be mad at Marcus.
08:39He just cares about me so much.
08:42I heard the smugness buried in her words.
08:44The soup bowl flew from her hands and shattered on the floor.
08:48Get out!
08:49Marcus stormed him, his face red with anger.
08:52What the hell is wrong with you?
08:53Zoe made you food, and you threw it in her face?
08:57He grabbed Zoe's hand.
08:58Her fingers turned red due to the heat, and brought them to his lips, blowing softly.
09:02Does it hurt?
09:03God, it looks very badly injured.
09:06Zoe pulled her hand back shyly.
09:08They looked at each other.
09:10The gaze shows how they care for each other.
09:12Marcus cleared his throat, suddenly awkward.
09:15Come on, Zoe.
09:16Let's get some cold water on that.
09:18Let the crazy woman cool off.
09:20The door slammed.
09:21At some point, I passed out.
09:22When I woke up, the pain was back.
09:25Worse than before.
09:26I fumbled for the pills on my nightstand, swallowing them dry, sweat dripping down my face.
09:32That's when Zoe walked in again.
09:34She set a glass of water on the nightstand.
09:37Mrs. Hayes, you should drink something.
09:39I didn't open my eyes.
09:41Get out.
09:42Mrs. Hayes.
09:44She didn't move.
09:45I need to tell you something.
09:47My chest tightened.
09:50Do you know why your parents haven't contacted you?
09:53I opened my eyes.
09:55What are you talking about?
09:56Your mom and dad have been coming to the hospital every day, begging for a kidney.
10:00On Christmas's Eve, your mother left the hospital and got hit by a car.
10:05What did you say?
10:06Zoe looked at me with wide, innocent eyes.
10:08Why would I lie, Mrs. Hayes?
10:12Your father is back home right now, planning her funeral.
10:17He didn't tell you because he didn't want you to feel guilty.
10:22Your mother signed an organ donor card before she died.
10:26Her last words were, give my kidney to my daughter.
10:30My mind is on the verge of collapse.
10:33You're lying!
10:35Why would I lie?
10:37I posted a story about needing a kidney.
10:39Marcus saw it and rushed to the hospital.
10:43I cried a little, and he made the call right there, even though he knew whose kidney it was.
10:49All the color drained from my face.
10:51My body started shaking uncontrollably.
10:53Zoe watched me with something like pity.
10:55It's such a shame.
10:57Your mother died smiling.
11:01She thought she was saving you.
11:04I screamed, a raw, animalistic sound I didn't recognize as my own.
11:09I grabbed the water glass and hurled it at Zoe's head.
11:12It shattered against her temple.
11:14Blood poured down her face.
11:15She stumbled backward, covering her head, whimpering.
11:19Marcus burst into the room.
11:20He saw the blood.
11:21Saw Zoe trembling on the floor.
11:23His eyes went wide with horror.
11:25He scooped her up and ran for the door.
11:27I'm taking you to the ER.
11:28Don't worry, you're okay.
11:29Before he left,
11:30Sienna, why don't you just die already?
11:33He turned back.
11:34I stared at the empty room and laughed.
11:37You're right, Marcus.
11:40I should be the one who's dead, not my mother.
11:44A sharp pain tore through my chest.
11:46I tasted copper blood poured from my mouth.
11:48Hours later, Marcus came home.
11:50The apartment was silent.
11:52He walked into the bedroom.
11:53The sheets were covered in blood.
11:55His voice cracked.
11:56Panic flooded his chest.
11:57Sienna?
11:58That's when the door burst open.
12:00Police officers swarmed in, surrounding him.
12:03He lead officer stepped forward, flashing his badge.
12:06Dr. Marcus Hayes?
12:07Marcus nodded, his throat tight.
12:09Someone filed a complaint against you for abuse of power and medical comdocted.
12:12You need to come with us.
12:14Did Sienna file the report?
12:15Is she okay?
12:16Where is she?
12:17Your wife is in the ICU.
12:19Acute kidney failure.
12:20She's in critical condition.
12:22That's impossible.
12:24She was fine when I left.
12:25One of the younger officers scoffed.
12:27Fine?
12:28We found Mrs. Hayes barely alive.
12:31The doctor said she was severely malnourished, dehydrated,
12:34and showed signs of extreme psychological distress.
12:37You call that fine?
12:38That's when it hit him.
12:39He'd been gone for three days.
12:41Three days with Zoe,
12:42helping her mother recover,
12:44comforting her,
12:45taking her to dinner,
12:46hiking with her to that stupid temple.
12:48He forgot me completely.
12:49He even forgot my dialysis appointment.
12:52As a nephrologist,
12:53he knew exactly what missing dialysis meant.
12:56Marcus's whole body shook.
12:58He slammed his fists against his head.
13:00How could this happen?
13:02But his voice sounded shattered,
13:04like the truth had finally caught up with him.
13:07Maybe being a caretaker had exhausted him.
13:09Watching me waste away,
13:11year after year,
13:12it had drained him.
13:13That's why Zoe's energy felt so intoxicating.
13:16With her,
13:17he felt alive again.
13:18But in that moment,
13:19he finally realized he couldn't bear losing me.
13:21That day at the hospital,
13:22when Zoe cried and begged him to save her mother,
13:25something inside him snapped.
13:26He told himself I had already waited three years,
13:29that I could wait a little longer,
13:30that another kidney would come.
13:32But then,
13:32he found out the kidney came from my mother.
13:35And by then,
13:35the surgery was already scheduled.
13:37Stopping it would raise questions.
13:39So he went through with it.
13:40He promised my father he'd get me a kidney soon.
13:43But the kidney was already gone.
13:44Marcus felt crushed under the weight of his guilt.
13:47He hadn't gone home because he couldn't face me.
13:49And now I was dying.
13:50The officer's voice cut through his spiraling thoughts.
13:53Let's go.
13:54Marcus took one step.
13:55Then his vision went black.
13:56He collapsed.
13:59My father paced the hallway.
14:01His eyes red and swollen.
14:03He prayed.
14:04Hands clasped.
14:06Voice trembling.
14:08Please.
14:09Please let her live.
14:10After burying his wife,
14:12he rushed to check on me.
14:14What he found made his heart stop.
14:16His baby girl,
14:17unconscious.
14:18Lying in a pool of blood.
14:20He couldn't lose her too.
14:22When I slipped into unconsciousness,
14:23it felt like drowning.
14:25Cold.
14:26Dark.
14:26Endless.
14:27I stopped fighting.
14:30I let myself sink.
14:32I could hear my father's voice.
14:34Faint.
14:35Desperate.
14:36Calling my name.
14:37Then I saw her.
14:38My mother.
14:40Standing in the darkness ahead of me.
14:42Her face twisted with worry.
14:44Mom.
14:45I know you hate the dark.
14:48I smiled.
14:49It's okay.
14:50I'm here now.
14:52We can go together.
14:54I sank deeper.
14:55I reached for her.
14:57She started crying.
14:58She shoved me away, sobbing.
15:01Sienna.
15:02Go back.
15:03Please.
15:04Go back.
15:05Your father is waiting.
15:07You both need to live.
15:09Live.
15:10Mom.
15:15My father's face hovered above me.
15:17His eyes red and swollen.
15:20He looked ten years older.
15:22His hair had gone grey.
15:23Grief had aged him overnight.
15:26I tried to speak.
15:27My voice cracked and raw.
15:29Dad.
15:30You're awake.
15:31Oh God, you're awake.
15:33I'm sorry, Dad.
15:34I'm so sorry.
15:37I'll be better.
15:38I promise.
15:40I'll fight.
15:41I'll stay with you.
15:44That's my girl.
15:46You have to keep fighting.
15:50You're all I have left.
15:52Maybe it was Mom watching over me.
15:55Because two weeks later, a kidney became available.
15:59It was a perfect match.
16:02My kidneys were failing completely.
16:04I had days left at most.
16:06The transplant surgery went perfectly.
16:09No rejection.
16:10No complications.
16:12I started getting stronger.
16:14My father told me that when he took Mom's body back home for the funeral,
16:18Marcus had promised him, sworn to him,
16:21that he'd get me a transplant immediately,
16:24that he'd give me Mom's kidney.
16:26But when Dad found me half dead in that apartment,
16:29he realized Marcus had given Mom's kidney to someone else.
16:32He called the police,
16:34filed a formal complaint.
16:35Marcus was arrested on charges of medical fraud and abuse of power.
16:40He was being held pending trial.
16:42Dad told me all this while I sat in the hospital courtyard,
16:45soaking up the sun.
16:47I nodded.
16:48Absorbed the information without emotion.
16:49I'd been given a second chance at life.
16:52I wasn't going to waste it on anger.
16:54The people who hurt me would face consequences.
16:56I didn't need to carry that weight anymore.
16:59For now, I just wanted to heal and take care of my father.
17:02He'd given me everything.
17:04It was time to give back.
17:06As for Marcus, whether he lived or died,
17:09whether he loved me or Zoe,
17:10I didn't care anymore.
17:13While Marcus was held in custody,
17:15he couldn't sleep.
17:16He wasn't worried about his own future.
17:19He was terrified he'd hear that I had died.
17:22Now he understood.
17:23I was the only thing that mattered.
17:26If I'd gone,
17:27nothing else would mean anything.
17:30Marcus confessed everything to the investigators.
17:33How he'd abused his position as chief of nephrology.
17:38How he'd manipulated the transplant list.
17:41How he'd stolen Sienna's kidney.
17:43And given it to Zoe's mother.
17:45Zoe was called in for questioning.
17:48She denied everything.
17:50I'm just a junior resident.
17:52How would I know anything about transplant logistics?
17:55Dr. Hayes told me there was a kidney available.
17:58I agreed to the surgery.
17:59That's all I know.
18:02What are you talking about?
18:04You begged me.
18:06That is why I agreed to give you the kidney.
18:10You said Sienna was next on the list,
18:12but your mother might not have time.
18:14You cried and said if your mother died,
18:17you'd kill yourself.
18:18Dr. Hayes, I don't know what you're talking about.
18:20I'm grateful for everything you did,
18:22but you can't blame me for your choices.
18:26Marcus felt like he'd been punched.
18:28This girl,
18:29the one he thought was pure and innocent,
18:32she'd been manipulating him the whole time.
18:36He thought about my rage and desperation
18:38and realized maybe I had been right all along.
18:43Save the act, Ms. L'Alarnt.
18:45We pulled the security footage from Mrs. Hayes' apartment.
18:49Want to watch what you said to her?
18:51Or should we just play it for the court?
18:54The officer pressed play.
18:56Marcus watched in horror as the video unfolded.
18:59Zoe standing over Sienna's bed,
19:01telling her about her mother's death,
19:03savoring every moment of Sienna's pain.
19:05Marcus shot to his feet.
19:07You bitch!
19:08His voice shook with rage.
19:09You got the kidney!
19:10You mother is still alive!
19:12Why did you have to torture her?
19:13Sienna was in so much pain,
19:15and you told her her mother was dead?
19:18No wonder she hemorrhaged.
19:20No wonder she almost died.
19:23The officers held him back.
19:25Zoe scrambled behind them,
19:27her mask finally slipping.
19:29I was confused!
19:30I made a mistake!
19:32Her voice turned desperate.
19:33I was in love with him!
19:36I wanted Mrs. Hayes to leave so I could-
19:38She caught herself.
19:39She didn't love Marcus.
19:41She loved his title,
19:42his status,
19:43his power.
19:44I'll stay away from Dr. Hayes,
19:46I swear.
19:47Just don't press charges.
19:49Everyone in the room saw through her.
19:50Now that he was ruined,
19:52she wanted nothing to do with him.
19:53Marcus glared at her,
19:55his voice low and venomous.
19:57I will never forgive you.
20:00Marcus' verdict came down quickly.
20:02Criminal abuse of power,
20:04medical malpractice,
20:06endangering a patient's life.
20:07He was stripped of his medical license
20:09and sentenced to five years in prison.
20:11As for Zoe,
20:12her actions were morally reprehensible
20:14but didn't technically break any laws.
20:17She walked away with a warning
20:18when Marcus heard he nearly lost his mind.
20:21But what kept him sane
20:22was the news that I had survived,
20:24that I'd gotten a kidney,
20:25that I was recovering.
20:27For the first time in weeks,
20:28he could breathe.
20:30Prison was brutal,
20:31but Marcus didn't complain.
20:33He knew he deserved it.
20:34One day,
20:35the guard told him he had a visitor.
20:37Marcus' heart nearly stopped
20:39when he saw me.
20:44Sienna,
20:45you look so much better.
20:47God, you look...
20:50I've missed you so much.
20:52Sign this.
20:56You...
20:57You...
20:57You want to divorce me?
20:59Why wouldn't I?
21:00You stole my mother's kidney
21:02and gave it to your mistress's mother.
21:04You left me to die
21:05while you played house
21:06with a 24-year-old.
21:08You brought her into our home
21:09to humiliate me.
21:10And the last thing you said to me was,
21:13why don't you just die?
21:15So yes, Marcus,
21:17I want a divorce.
21:19Zoe isn't my mistress.
21:20I swear,
21:22nothing physical ever happened between us.
21:24I was stupid.
21:25I made terrible mistakes.
21:26But I love you, Sienna.
21:28Only you.
21:30Please.
21:31I'll spend the rest of my life
21:32making it up to you.
21:34I won't sign this.
21:36I love you.
21:36I can't lose you.
21:38You love me?
21:39You love me so much
21:40you gave away
21:41my mother's kidney?
21:42You loved me so much
21:43you forgot I existed?
21:46Sign.
21:47You know I can file for divorce
21:49without your consent?
21:50Let's both walk away
21:52with some dignity.
21:54Do you hate me?
21:57No.
21:58You're already paying
21:59for what you did.
22:00I don't need to hate you.
22:01You're just...
22:02nobody to me now.
22:04I'm living on borrowed time.
22:06I don't want to waste it on hatred.
22:09I just want to be alive
22:10and grateful for every single day.
22:13Goodbye, Marcus.
22:15I hope we never see each other again.
22:17Several years later,
22:19Marcus was released.
22:21Prison had destroyed him.
22:23He was gone.
22:24Hollow-eyed.
22:25Nothing like the confident surgeon
22:27he used to be.
22:28The first thing he did
22:29was ask about me.
22:31When he heard I was healthy and happy,
22:33relief flooded through him.
22:35Marcus had no family left.
22:37His parents were dead.
22:38I had been his only family.
22:41And now I was gone too.
22:43Autumn wind cut through his thin jacket.
22:45He shivered and walked faster.
22:48He still had one thing left to do.
22:50Using an address he'd tracked down,
22:52Marcus arrived at a small townhouse.
22:55He rang the bell.
22:56Zoe opened the door.
23:08What do you want?
23:09What do you want?
23:09You
