Short filmTranscript
00:00Director Hayes troubled with rage.
00:01Hold down this animal and that quack, Leo!
00:03Two officers immediately stepped forward,
00:05pinned his arm behind his back against the wall.
00:08Leo was so scared his legs came out,
00:09and he collapsed on the floor.
00:11Director Hayes walked to my side, his eyes red,
00:13and firmly held my cold fingers.
00:14Dr. Harris, keep Jessica alive at all costs.
00:17Dr. Harris wiped his tears,
00:19stuffed emergency medicine into my mouth,
00:20and gave me adrenaline.
00:21The mother has one last breath.
00:23We must get the baby out right now.
00:24Agony tore through my body again.
00:26Jessica, push! The baby is coming!
00:28Push! You can do it!
00:29Martha cried beside me, cheering me on.
00:31I bit through my lip, used the last of my strength,
00:33and gripped the bed frame.
00:34A sharp pain, and I felt something slide out of my body.
00:36But there was no cry.
00:38The clinic was dead silent.
00:39Dr. Harris patted the baby's back gently.
00:41A weak cry finally broke out.
00:43She's alive! She's alive! It's a girl!
00:45Martha wept with joy and wrapped the tiny body in an old cloth.
00:50Good heavens! That useless Ryan!
00:52I'll get an axe to break the lock!
00:54Before she could move, a voice stopped her.
00:56Martha, Ryan the boss gave orders.
00:58Tonight, nobody is allowed to help Jessica.
01:00Jessica is about to give birth!
01:02If nobody helps, she'll die!
01:05Grace is hemorrhaging badly.
01:06That's the real emergency.
01:08Jessica moves 200-pound hog carcasses
01:10on the assembly line every day.
01:12She can't die from childbirth pain?
01:14Ryan said she's just acting out.
01:16There are two lives in there.
01:17You'll kill them both!
01:19Get lost, Martha.
01:21No!
01:23No!
01:24Grace loses this baby.
01:25Everyone in this town will suffer.
01:27I clutched my stomach.
01:29Cold sweat soaking through my clothes.
01:31The blood beneath me flowing more and more.
01:33Footsteps sounded outside again.
01:35The lock opened.
01:36Ryan strode in.
01:37Ryan, help me.
01:39Stop pretending.
01:40Where's Grace's hemostatic medicine?
01:42I'm dying.
01:44Take me to the clinic.
01:46He found the pills, turned around,
01:49looking down at me from above.
01:50Seeing the blood on the floor,
01:52he sneered in disgust.
01:53Look at this mess.
01:54Disgusting.
01:55Grace is fighting for her life.
01:57Don't add to the chaos.
01:58Get some hot water and clean yourself up.
02:00I'll be back at dawn.
02:02Grace has a weak constitution.
02:03You should learn to make way for her.
02:05I watched his heartless back,
02:06no longer calling for help.
02:08Touching my stomach that had gone still,
02:10that last bit of hope completely shattered.
02:14Ryan, I'm done with you.
02:15The pain in my stomach came in waves,
02:18each worse than the last.
02:19I lay desperately in a pool of blood waiting to die.
02:24Grace despaired.
02:25She looked around and finally locked her eyes on me.
02:30She crawled to my bedside
02:32and no-bodied non-stop, splitting her forehead.
02:35Jessica, I was wrong.
02:37I connote to you.
02:40Please lend me that money to save my life.
02:42My child, he's innocent.
02:45If you save him,
02:46I'll be your servant for the rest of my life.
02:49I watched her nanote with a cold eye,
02:51feeling no pity.
02:52You had my blood drained
02:54and my life-saving soup stolen for this child.
02:58At the time,
02:59did you ever think that my child was also innocent?
03:03Heaven's punishment may be avoided,
03:05but self-inflicted punishment cannot.
03:08This is your karma.
03:10Ryan knelt on the floor,
03:11looking at my cold profile,
03:13and finally broke down.
03:14He cried bitterly,
03:15slapped himself wildly.
03:17Jessica, I was wrong.
03:18I really know I was wrong.
03:20I was deceived!
03:22I should never have listened to that bitch's lies!
03:24Can you forgive me just once?
03:27Let's start over.
03:28I will treat you and our daughter well from now on.
03:30He tried to get closer to me as he cried.
03:32I looked at his gravelling figure and felt only sorrow.
03:36Ryan Cooper, it's too late.
03:38The moment you locked me in that house to die.
03:40The moment you had my blood drained while I was in agony.
03:43My love for you died completely.
03:46The two of them started clawing at each other like animals.
03:50Ryan, his face scratched backhanded Grace and knocked her to the ground.
03:54Grace, lying on the floor with a bleeding lip,
03:56knew she couldn't stay.
03:58She rolled her eyes and changed her tune.
03:59I turned to Director Hayes and held out my hand.
04:02Director Hayes, please inventory and register all these items.
04:06She crawled to Director Hayes' feet and hubbed his leg, sobbing.
04:10Doreen Hayes, I was forced!
04:12Ryan Cooper is the boss!
04:14Like could a guaf a dare can resist her?
04:16If I didn't comply, he would throw me and my child out of town.
04:20He also said Jessica was a burden,
04:22and he wanted to kill her to make room for me.
04:25When those words came out, Ryan went completely mad.
04:27He lunged at Grace and strangled her.
04:29How dare you bite the hand that feeds you?
04:31You were the one who seduced me.
04:33You said that once Jessica was dead, we could be together openly.
04:36You even told me to deliberately delay and not sign the surgery consent for Jessica
04:40so she would die in childbirth.
04:41Everyone around was horrified.
04:43So this wasn't just jealousy.
04:45It was a long-planned murder.
04:47Director Hayes, his face livid with anger,
04:50had the officers pull Ryan away.
04:53Upon hearing this, all the strength left Ryan,
04:56and he collapsed on the floor.
04:58He covered his face and let out a desperate wail.
05:01Grace, unable to borrow money,
05:03sat on the floor holding the confessing child,
05:06crying miserably.
05:08Karma.
05:09This is all karma.
05:12I turned my head away,
05:14no longer looking at them,
05:15and gently took my daughter from Martha's arms.
05:19My daughter's warm body pressed against me,
05:22sleeping soundly with her eyes closed.
05:24Director Hayes, his face cold, gave the final order.
05:27Take Ryan Cooper and Dr. Leo back to the station for overnight interrogation.
05:32Attempted murder, embezzlement,
05:34they'll spend their lives in prison.
05:36The officers stepped forward and cuffed Ryan and Leo with cold handcuffs.
05:40Leo wet his pants in fear and was dragged out while slumped on the floor.
05:45Ryan was escorted out.
05:46At the door, he struggled free from the officers and fell to his knees with a thud.
05:51He faced my direction and knocked his head three times heavily on the blue stone,
05:55blood streaming down his forehead.
05:57Jessica, I'm sorry.
05:59I ruined you.
06:01If there is a next life,
06:03I will repay your goodness.
06:05His eyes were full of regret, despair, and deep attachment.
06:08Jessica, I will behave in prison.
06:10Will you wait for me?
06:13I still owe you and our daughter a home.
06:19I held my daughter and didn't even look at him.
06:22Ryan Cooper, there is no next for us.
06:26Martha stepped forward and slammed the old wooden door of the clinic shut,
06:30cutting off his last views.
06:32Outside, Ryan's anguished roars,
06:34Grace sat blankly on the floor.
06:36The villagers pointed at her and cursed.
06:39The mayor, ashamed of her,
06:41had her belongings thrown out of the dormitory.
06:44Joined a preble to an up-down.
06:46Her reputation was ruined,
06:48and she could no longer stay in town.
06:50The next day, she left in a daze,
06:52disappearing without a trace.
06:55Her child was sent to an orphanage.
06:57As for me, under the care of Martha and Director Hayes,
07:01recuperated in the clinic for half a wink.
07:03Because of the severe blood loss,
07:05and the heavy impact during childbirth,
07:07I was left with serious after effects.
07:09Dr. Harris sighed and told my,
07:11that I would never be able to do heavy work again.
07:14And that on rainy days,
07:15the cold would gnaw at my bones.
07:17I looked at my sleeping daughter,
07:19and accepted the outcome calmly.
07:22At least we both survived.
07:24On the day I left the hospital,
07:26the sun was bright,
07:28dispelling the gloom of the past days.
07:30Director Hayes helped me finalize the divorce,
07:33and handed me the thin certificate.
07:35Jessica Ryan Cooper got life in prison.
07:38Leo got 15 years.
07:39I've recovered all the money and things that belong to you.
07:42From now on,
07:44you and your daughter must live a good life.
07:49Thank you,
07:50for giving my daughter and me a second life.
07:54Jessica,
07:55you will be happy from now on.
07:57Once,
07:57I had come here full of hope,
07:59wanting to build a warm home.
08:00For that man,
08:01I swallowed all my grievances,
08:03and gave him all my heart.
08:04In return,
08:05I nearly died along with my child,
08:07but at least it was all over.
08:09The scumbag and the poison woman
08:11got their deserved punishment,
08:12suffering endless pain.
08:14And I,
08:15having broken all chains,
08:17welcomed true freedom.
08:19Ryan was pinned to the ground,
08:21looking at Grace's vicious face,
08:22and finally realized how stupid he had been.
08:25For a selfish and venomless woman,
08:27he had single-handedly destroyed his once happy home,
08:30and nearly killed the person who truly loved him.
08:33Just then,
08:33the baby boy on the nearby sofa
08:35suddenly convulsed violently.
08:37Dr. Leo rushed over to check,
08:40lifted the baby's eyelids,
08:41and his face changed dramatically.
08:43Oh, no.
08:44This child has a congenitive heart defect.
08:46He needs to be taken to a big hospital immediately for surgery,
08:49and it will cost a lot of money,
08:51off of it too late.
08:53He will die!
08:55Grace scrambled to the bedside.
08:57You can't die!
08:59She talped for voice and frithy succulation.
09:01She turned to Ryan,
09:02and grabbed his pant leg.
09:04Ryan, hurry, take out the money!
09:06To save our child!
09:09Ryan lifted her coldly,
09:10his eyes full of hatred.
09:12That's your child with my brother.
09:14What does it have to do with me?
09:17You've squandered all my money.
09:21How can I save him?
09:24I told you she wouldn't die.
09:26Giving birth and making such a fuss.
09:29Disturbing the whole town.
09:30Director Hayes,
09:31now that the baby is born,
09:32you can let me go, right?
09:33Director Hayes turned,
09:34raised his hand,
09:35and slapped Ryan hard across the face.
09:37Why did you hit me?
09:38What crime have I committed?
09:39I lay weakly in bed,
09:40turned my head at this man,
09:42I had loved for five years.
09:43In his eyes,
09:44there was no fear for my life,
09:45only irritation that I had embarrassed him.
09:48Ryan Cooper, we're getting a divorce.
09:51Jessica, how long are you going to keep making a scene?
09:53Grace is carrying my brother's post-hormance child.
09:55You, as her sister-in-law,
09:56can't you just give in a little?
09:57Don't be unreasonable.
09:58I haven't wronged you.
10:00Now come home with me right now.
10:01Stop embarrassing yourself here.
10:02You drained my blood to save her.
10:04You snatched my life-saving soup
10:05and gave it to her,
10:06and you call that not wronging me.
10:09Ryan, this soup is so good.
10:10I think my stomach doesn't hurt anymore.
10:13Good that it works.
10:14Tomorrow I'll get you something even better.
10:15I lay on the floor,
10:16watching them.
10:17Nausea rose in my throat.
10:19Jessica, don't fall asleep!
10:21Too much blood loss,
10:22plus the heavy impact just now.
10:24Life was slipping away fast.
10:25Boss Ryan, Jessica is dying!
10:27Sign the surgery consent!
10:29Doc, you're taking this joke too far.
10:30I told you, she's just acting.
10:32She'll be up by dawn.
10:33I'm not joking.
10:34Excessive blood loss,
10:35plus maternal damage.
10:37She needs surgery now.
10:38One more minute late,
10:39and both mother and child will die.
10:40You're the family.
10:41Sign it!
10:42Cut her belly open.
10:43How could she survive that?
10:44Women aren't that delicate when giving birth.
10:46She's just too lazy to push.
10:48I won't sign.
10:49Let her deliver naturally.
10:51Don't indulge her.
10:52Ryan, I'm in so much pain!
10:54Is the baby coming?
10:55Boss Ryan, Grace's water broke.
10:57She's giving birth now.
10:58Quick!
10:58Deliver Grace's baby.
11:00Save her and the child no matter what.
11:01But your wife is in more danger right now.
11:03Old man, don't get your priorities wrong.
11:05Boss Ryan tells you who to deliver.
11:07Jessica won't die.
11:07Martha was thrown out of the clinic,
11:09and Leo slammed the door shut.
11:10Through the torn cloth curtain,
11:11I heard Ryan's urgent encouragement.
11:13Breathe!
11:14That's it!
11:15I lay on the floor,
11:16listening to his cheers,
11:17his joy,
11:18as I slowly died.
11:19I looked at the man
11:20who had once sworn to cherish me.
11:22He was holding another woman's hand.
11:24I closed my eyes.
11:25A single tear fell.
11:26In the next life,
11:27I won't even look at you.
11:32It's a boy!
11:33Healthy!
11:35Well done, Grace.
11:37You saved the family line.
11:38Dr. Harris robbed the newborn
11:40and walked toward Ryan.
11:41Ryan.
11:41He dropped to his knees.
11:42Jessica and the baby
11:44are gone.
11:46The moment Dr. Harris's
11:47trembling words fell,
11:48Ryan didn't even turn his head.
11:50Doc, you're taking this joke too far.
11:51Ryan gently wiped the sweat
11:53from Grace's forehead
11:53with a handkerchief.
11:55Jessica is just jealous
11:56that Grace had a boy.
11:57She's deliberately making you say this
11:58to compete for affection.
12:00That woman is strong as an ox!
12:02How could she die from giving birth?
12:04Dr. Harris's eyes turned red
12:05with anxiety.
12:06Boss Ryan,
12:07the mother really has no pulse.
12:09Come and see!
12:10The old wooden door of the clinic
12:11was kicked open from outside.
12:13Martha rushed in with Director Hayes
12:14from the protective services
12:15and two police officers.
12:17Director Hayes saw the blood everywhere
12:18and me lying in a pool of it,
12:19my face ashen,
12:20and gasped.
12:21Ryan Cooper,
12:21you're an animal!
12:23Ryan froze for a moment.
12:24Director Hayes,
12:25this is a family matter.
12:27Jessica is throwing a tantrum.
12:28Don't meddle!
12:29Grace just gave birth
12:30to our family's great hero.
12:31She can't be startled.
12:34Just then,
12:35the wooden door opened again.
12:36Leo walked in after Ryan.
12:38Ryan saw the blood,
12:39but his face showed no ripple,
12:41impatience overwhelming any concern.
12:43Jessica,
12:44stop lying on the ground
12:45playing dead.
12:46Get up.
12:47Go to the clinic.
12:49I can't.
12:50The baby is barely moving anymore.
12:52Stop acting.
12:53It's probably pig blood
12:54from the factory.
12:56Grace is the one
12:57really in critical condition.
12:58She needs a transfusion.
13:00Ryan, check the records.
13:02You're O negative.
13:03Get up and donate blood.
13:05You want to drain my blood for her?
13:08I'm still giving birth.
13:10You'll kill me!
13:13Don't be so selfish.
13:15The doctor knows what he's doing.
13:17My brother died saving me.
13:19Grace is carrying his child.
13:21That baby can't have anything happen to it.
13:24You're a farm girl,
13:25strong as an ox.
13:27Draining a leader won't kill you.
13:28I struggled desperately,
13:30shaking off his hand.
13:31I'm not going.
13:33Jessica.
13:35This is your flesh and blood.
13:37You really want to kill him?
13:39Jessica.
13:40I've been too lenient with you normally.
13:42Spoiled you into being so selfish and vicious.
13:45Grace usually calls you
13:47younger sister all the time.
13:48But now that she's in trouble,
13:50you just stand by and watch her die.
13:54My belly slammed hard against the wooden edge.
13:57Stop pretending to be so pitiful.
13:58Grace is still waiting for the life-saving blood.
14:00Move it!
14:04I watched him grovel,
14:05and my heart felt nothing but satisfaction.
14:07Not only will you be fired,
14:09you have to pay back every penny you spent
14:10from my money over the years.
14:12Back when you became boss,
14:13I gave you my entire savings to pave the way.
14:15All the money you spent on Grace these years,
14:17that was my hard-earned money.
14:19Jessica, are you trying to destroy me?
14:22The money was all spent on the household.
14:24How can I pay you back?
14:25No money?
14:26Then pay with things.
14:28That Swiss watch on her wrist
14:30was my dower.
14:31You secretly gave it to her.
14:32And the TV,
14:33the stereo in her room,
14:35all my things.
14:36Today,
14:37you will return every last bit,
14:39principle and interest.
14:40When Grace heard that her things would be taken,
14:42she immediately covered her wrist and screamed.
14:44No!
14:45Ryan gave that to me!
14:46You have no right to take it!
14:47You vicious woman!
14:48You're just jealous that Ryan loves me!
14:52She sobbed uncontrollably,
14:53as if she were the one wronged.
14:55A flash of shock crossed Ryan's eyes.
14:57Seeing Grace's frail appearance,
14:59his heart softened again.
15:01I know you did it for the child.
15:04Don't do something so stupid again.
15:07Jessica, did you hear?
15:08Grace was just scared.
15:09She had no bad intentions.
15:10You, as her sister-in-law,
15:12are usually so mean to her that she lives in fear.
15:14She's a poor widow.
15:15Do you really have to hold this against her?
15:16Let it go.
15:17Don't pursue it anymore.
15:18You're fine now,
15:19and the baby is born.
15:20What more do you want?
15:21I looked at Ryan.
15:22Ryan Cooper, that was my life.
15:25You drained my blood just to soothe her fear.
15:30Were you really doing it for your brother?
15:32Ryan's eyes darted away.
15:33What nonsense sense are you talking about?
15:35If not for my brother, who else?
15:38That's because Grace was hemorrhaging.
15:39It was a matter of life and death.
15:40What's wrong of taking a little of your blood?
15:42Can't you be more mature?
15:43Stop being so petty.
15:44Director Hayes, I want to file a report.
15:46Ryan Cooper and Dr. Leo attempted murder.
15:48Jessica, are you crazy?
15:49Filing a false report will land you in prison.
15:51Jessica, don't worry.
15:52The protective services and the police will get to the bottom of this.
15:55Director Hayes, you're trying to break up a family.
15:57Jessica's just angry.
15:58She'll calm down.
15:59Director Hayes, don't arrest Ryan.
16:01It's all my fault.
16:03Jessica, I know you hate me.
16:05I'll give Ryan back to you, okay?
16:08Grace, you just gave birth.
16:10You're weak.
16:11Why kneel to her?
16:14Her own narrow heart can't tolerate you.
16:16That's her problem.
16:18Go to Grace's room and move out everything that belongs to Jessica.
16:22No!
16:23The officers acted immediately.
16:25Grace tried to stop them but was pushed aside.
16:29Ryan watched the officers go in and out, carrying away the facade he had maintained, and his whole
16:33body went limp.
16:34He turned to look at Grace, and finally there was resentment in his eyes.
16:38Grace, this is all your fault.
16:39If you hadn't insisted on that watch, how would Jessica have found out?
16:42Ryan Cooper, now you blame me?
16:44Who was the one who begged to give it to me in the first place?
16:46If you hadn't pretended to be pitiful every day, saying you had no one to rely on?
16:50You bitch!
16:50You killed my brother, and now you want to ruin me!
16:53You're the one who couldn't keep it in your pants!
16:56You came to my room every night, saying Jessica was an old woman, and only I could give you tenderness.
17:02Now that you're in trouble, you dump all the blame on me.
17:05What kind of man are you?
17:08I watched him threaten me with my brother, but my heart was calm.
17:11That blood-sucking family of mine, I'd long considered them dead.
17:14Go ahead.
17:15If he broke the law, he should go to jail, and you, covering for him, are just as guilty.
17:20Ryan froze, never expecting me to abandon even my own family.
17:23Ryan, Jessica is determined to destroy you.
17:26How can she be so heartless?
17:28Clean, are you?
17:29Then let's see how clean you really are.
17:31Director Hayes, this is the bank statement I found in his clothes a long time ago and have
17:35kept on me.
17:36It lists every luxury item he bought for Grace, plus text message from Grace urging him to
17:41divorce me soon.
17:42Grace, last night when you lay in my arms completely soaked, I truly felt the meaning of being alive.
17:49That coarse woman Jessica doesn't understand my heart at all.
17:53After she gives birth, I'll find a reason to divorce her and then propose to you.
17:58Pfft, a pair of adulterers.
17:59Poor Jessica, pregnant with his child, almost tortured to death by them.
18:05As a factory owner, not only are you morally corrupt, but you also attempted to murder
18:09your wife.
18:11Effective immediately, you are relieved of all duties and suspended pending indigation.
18:15Jessica, I was wrong.
18:16I was momentarily confused.
18:18The one I love has always been you.
18:20We have a child.
18:22You can't be so cruel as to ruin me.
18:25I recoiled from his hand in disgust.
18:27You loved me?
18:28If you loved me, would you have locked me in the house while I was in labor?
18:33If you loved me, would you have had my blood drained to soothe her fake hemorrhage?
18:37Ryan Cooper, your love is disgusting.
18:39I looked out the window in disappointment, tears rolling down my cheeks.
18:44Jessica, you can hit me, curse me, anything.
18:48Just please say a good word to Director Hayes.
18:51Don't fire me.
18:52I'm the boss.
18:53I can't lose this position.
18:55I'd had enough of his hypocritical act, and I didn't spare him another glance.
19:02Let it go?
19:04She faked being sick to trick you, so where did the two tubes of blood Leo drew from me
19:08go?
19:10Let's see how a woman who isn't hemorrhaging gets my blood into her body.
19:16Talk.
19:17Where did you put Jessica's blood?
19:20Director Hayes, it's not my fault.
19:21Grace forced me to do it.
19:23Those two tubes of blood were never transfuted.
19:25I poured them into the gutter.
19:27Grace gave me $500 to deliberately draw Jessica's blood, to teach her a lesson, so she'd never
19:32hold her head high in the Cooper family again.
19:34You poisonous woman.
19:36You were trying to torture our on-on to death.
19:39You're lying.
19:40I didn't give you any money.
19:42You did it yourself to curry favor with Ryan.
19:44Ryan, believe me, I can't even afford enough food.
19:47Where would I get $500?
19:51Ryan frowned deeply, his face extremely ugly.
19:53He looked at Leo, then at Grace, who was crying her eyes out.
19:56Leo, stop slandering people here.
19:58Grace, you wouldn't even step on an ant.
20:00How could she do something so vicious?
20:02You must have been trying to embezzle medical fae, and when you got caught, you dragged
20:06Grace down with you.
20:07You must have been trying to embezzle medical fees, and when you got caught, you dragged
20:11Grace down with you.
20:13I watched Ryan still defend her in my hatred surge.
20:16Ryan Cooper, you're truly blind.
20:18She can't even afford enough food?
20:20You make $5,000 a month and spend $4,000 on her.
20:23You buy her name brand skincare organic food.
20:26Even the silk shirt she's wearing, you had someone buy it for her.
20:29Ryan, exposed in cummergless, looked embarrassed.
20:32Jessica, shut up.
20:33Taking care of my brother's widow is my duty.
20:36Stop talking nonsense and ruin Grace's reputation.
20:39I looked at him coldly, my eyes full of mockery.
20:42Duty?
20:42Under the cover of that lie, you do things you can't let people know.
20:49Staying at her place until late at night?
20:53Holding her in your arms?
20:56The people around gasp and pointed fingers.
20:58So boss Ryan is sleeping with Grace.
21:01How shameless.
21:01No wonder he was trying to kill Jessica, to make room for his mistress.
21:05Ryan flew into a rage and charged at me, raising his hand to hit me.
21:09Bitch!
21:10I'll shut you up!
21:11Director Hayes was quick and pushed Ryan away.
21:14Ryan Cooper, you dare hit someone in front of the police?
21:17Ryan pointed at me furiously.
21:19Director Hayes, listen to the filthy lies she's spreading.
21:22Grace and I are clean.
21:23She's slandering us.
21:24I'll sue her!
21:25Grace also started crying.
21:27Jessica, I know you've always been...
21:29Jenny's been jealous that Ryan is good to me.
21:31Are you trying to kill me?
21:32She pretended to run into the wall, and Ryan quickly hugged her tight.
21:36Grace, don't do anything stupid.
21:38I believe you.
21:39Ryan sneered Yance contemptuous.
21:41Jessica, don't think I don't know what you're up to.
21:43You're trying to use these dirty tricks to make me give in and take control of the finances.
21:48Don't forget, your brother still owes the factory money.
21:51If I hadn't kept it quiet, he'd be in jail.
21:53If you keep making trouble, I'll have your brother locked up immediately.
21:58Jessica, are you trying to drive Grace to death?
22:01She almost lost her life to have my brother's child.
22:04Don't you have any sympathy?
22:05I watched their devoted act and found it utterly ridiculous.
22:08Almost lost her life?
22:10Doctor, please check the maternity pad Grace just used.
22:13Jessica, what are you doing?
22:15Are you even doubting my childbirth?
22:17Jessica, you're impossible.
22:20Leo himself said Grace hemorrhaged.
22:22Would a doctor lie?
22:24Leo walked to the curtain.
22:25Director Hayes sensed something wrong and signaled Leo with his eyes.
22:28He grabbed the curtain edge.
22:30He stepped behind the curtain.
22:31Soon he came back, holding a clean maternity pad and an empty red ink bottle.
22:35Director Hayes, there's hardly any blood on this pad.
22:37We found the red ink bottle under the bed.
22:39Grace never hemorrhaged.
22:40She faked it.
22:41Ryan stared in disbelief at what Leo was holding.
22:44Grace, what the hell is going on?
22:45Grace trembled all over and cried even harder.
22:47She clutched Ryan's clothes tightly.
22:49Ryan, let me explain.
22:50I was just too scared.
22:52Afraid of losing the baby.
22:53Afraid you wouldn't care about me.
22:55That's why I did it.
22:57I really didn't mean to lie.
22:59I just care about this child so much.
23:03Ryan, it's my fault.
23:05Let Jessica go.
23:06I don't want her to get hurt for me.
23:08Don't be afraid.
23:10I'm here.
23:11You're okay.
23:12He turned his head and glared at me.
23:14Get over there and give the blood.
23:15Leo tied a tourniquet around my arm with rough hands.
23:18I looked at Ryan.
23:19If you do this, we're done.
23:21Don't threaten me with divorce.
23:22Where would you go?
23:23You're nothing without me.
23:25Leo pushed the needle in.
23:27The cold was drawn out of my body.
23:29Grace watched me.
23:30Thank you, Jessica.
23:31I'll repay you someday.
23:32Violent fetal movements made my insides ache.
23:34I gritted my teeth and refused to beg.
23:36Grace lost too much blood.
23:38Need more.
23:38No!
23:39Stop!
23:39I'll die!
23:40The doctor knows what he's doing.
23:42Cooperate.
23:42Don't make trouble.
23:44The needle went into my arm again.
23:46My vision started to blacken.
23:48Grace, it'll be over soon.
23:50Don't be afraid.
23:52After two tubes of blood were drawn,
23:53I slid off the stool and fell onto the dusty floor.
23:56Leo took the blood to transfuse into Grace.
23:58Ryan stayed by Grace's bedside,
24:00not giving me a single glance.
24:01The baby in my belly hadn't moved for a long time.
24:04Dr. Harris, who had been out of town,
24:07rushed back and helped him.
24:08Good Lord!
24:09She's losing consciousness.
24:10She needs surgery now.
24:11Where's the insurance card?
24:12Doc, stop playing along with her.
24:15She's built like a brick shithouse.
24:17She won't die.
24:18Ryan Cooper!
24:19This is criminal negligence!
24:21No time for the card.
24:22Move her now.
24:23Jessica!
24:23I brought you beet soup.
24:25Drink it!
24:25I reached out with trembling fingers.
24:28Ryan!
24:28My stomach hurts.
24:30I can't breathe.
24:31Ryan!
24:32What are you doing?
24:33That's for Jessica!
24:34Jessica is tough.
24:36She doesn't need such precious stuff.
24:38Grace is weak.
24:39She's hemorrhaging now.
24:40This soup is just right to replenish her blood.
24:43Ryan!
24:44Give it back!
24:47The baby has stopped moving.
24:50I'll die if I don't drink it!
24:52Get lost.
24:54Jessica, even if you're jealous of Grace, cursing your own child's death just to fight over
24:59a bowl of soup, you make me sick.
25:03Ryan, this is Jessica's soup.
25:05I can't drink it.
25:06Don't mind her.
25:07She's just putting on a show.
25:09Drink it.
25:10The pain will go away.
25:13At 39 weeks pregnant, 3am, I woke to feel a warm gush between my legs.
25:17Not urine.
25:19Blood.
25:21Ryan, wake up!
25:22I shoved my husband hard, nails digging into his arm.
25:24He cursed under his breath as he sat up.
25:27Didn't look at me.
25:28Grace is close.
25:29I should go check on her.
25:31Then he laced up his shoes and walked out the door off to see his brother's wife,
25:34Grace Miller.
25:35The red on the sheet's slowly getting cold.
25:37Three minutes later, Ryan rushed back in, grabbed the factory-issued premium medical
25:41card.
25:41Where are you going?
25:42I'm bleeding!
25:43I'm going into labor, Ryan!
25:44Grace fell.
25:45Contractions are severe.
25:46She might not be able to keep the baby.
25:48Give her the card first.
25:49What about me?
25:50I'm about to give birth, too!
25:51That face I once thought was gentle, now twisted horribly.
25:54Grace is carrying precious cargo.
25:56If this one is lost again, she might never be able to get pregnant in this lifetime.
26:01You?
26:02You're built like a dairy cow, tough as old boots.
26:05You'll make it till dawn, no problem.
26:07Stop being so dramatic.
26:09The lock turned.
26:10That sound echoed in the darkness.
26:12He abandoned me.
26:13Contractions hit like a tsunami.
26:15My water broke, warm fluid running down my thighs.
26:18I crawled toward the door on hands and knees.
26:20Blood streaks everywhere.
26:21Ryan, open the door!
26:24Please, save the baby!
26:26Save me, too!
26:27Headlights swept across the yard.
26:29Engine roared.
26:30Gradually fading away.
26:33Neighbor Martha pushed open the yard gate holding a flashlight.
26:36Jessica?
26:37Are you alright?
26:38I am not exhausted.
26:40He locked me inside!
