Short filmTranscript
00:01I was pregnant I was about to tell my husband Alexander the good news but then I saw an
00:07Instagram posted notification a pregnancy test results two pink lines with the father's name
00:14clearly written Alexander grant the poster was Evelyn Shaw the widow of his deceased friend her
00:21caption read thank you for donating your sperm and personally performing my IVF procedure Alex
00:27I'll never be alone again I composed myself and called Alexander to demand an explanation
00:37give me an explanation about Evelyn Ethan was my best friend he died leaving his wife alone
00:44I just wanted to help her fulfill their wish in that moment I knew this marriage needed to end
00:51I always thought the collapse of a marriage was gradual but that morning I realized sometimes
00:58it only takes one social media post after seeing Evelyn's Instagram post I scheduled an abortion for
01:05tomorrow that's when Alexander came home in one hand he carried a bag from the lab in the other
01:15a bag from my favorite French patisserie how ironic he still remembered I loved their lemon tarts
01:26Clara I brought you some pastries I could smell the sterile disinfectant from his lab mixed with
01:32perfume it made me want to vomit what's wrong baby don't touch me you're still angry
01:42that post you saw is just a misunderstanding Evelyn is emotionally unstable I didn't want her to
01:47feel abandoned by the world oh so used your own sperm and personally performed the IVF procedure to make
01:57her feel cared for don't use that tone it's not as sordid as you think it's part of a research
02:03project the
02:04company needs experimental data and she happened to needed a child research the donation consent
02:12form you signed the father's name isn't grant biotech it's Alexander Grant did the company require
02:19your full name or did you volunteer it you're being too emotional Ethan is dead I have a responsibility to
02:25care for Evelyn you should understand I just want to know in your dictionary does responsibility include
02:33include betrayal Clara I know you care but I'm the CEO of a pharmaceutical company you know what my
02:41profession requires you shouldn't make such a big deal out of this did I when Ethan first died I sympathized
02:53with
02:53Evelyn too so I always took care of her invited her to our home for dinner included her when I
02:59went
02:59shopping I gave her gifts when appliances broke at her place Alexander and I would go over to help repair
03:07them at the time Evelyn said to me with red-rimmed eyes if Ethan were still here you wouldn't have
03:15to be
03:16troubled with these things it's nothing don't be so formal with us but later Evelyn's relationship
03:25with Alexander a gradually changed Alexander would accompany her to the super malone help her shoes
03:32furniture drive her to the hospital in the middle of the night when she was sick whenever I felt he
03:38was
03:38going too far Alexander would say that Ethan was his most important friend and helping care of his wife
03:43was his responsibility I had wanted to have a proper conversation with him but Alexander's attitude
03:49left me speechless I think we should cool off where could he go this time it must be Evelyn soon
04:00I
04:01received a story update notification on my Instagram it was from Evelyn looking at that voter I couldn't help
04:08but laugh at my own foolishness maybe I should end this marriage sooner the next morning I put on
04:25sunglasses and a mask clutching the hospital payment slip I sat in the waiting area waiting to have an
04:31abortion just then I heard someone laughing softly down the corridor the voice was soft familiar Alexander
04:39was looking down at Evelyn's ultrasound report Evelyn pointed at something on report a smile on her lips
04:48Alexander's eyes held a rare gentleness and a hopingness to where he knew the scene was too ironic I
04:55suddenly felt like an audience member who had wandered onto the wrong set I was about to turn and leave
05:01but just as I stood up Alexander looked up at me our eyes met his look shock annoyance and in
05:10that
05:11instant worris I'll never forget it are you following me this is a public hospital not your private
05:21laboratory do I need your permission to be here Alex don't be like this maybe it's a missing
05:32misunderstanding Clara please don't misunderstand I know this is hard for you but I just want a child
05:41if you just wanted a child this city had countless sperm banks why choose my husband
05:57loneliness doesn't give you the right to steal someone else's family for warmth Evelyn
06:09be careful don't get upset she's pregnant do you realize you almost made her fall
06:20I didn't touch her but you provoked her
06:29Clara you've gone too far she's carrying Ethan's child and you're still pushing her like this
06:40Ethan's child but whose name is written in the father column have you forgotten
06:47I only donated sperm her child has nothing to do with me nothing to do with you
06:55then why did you personally accompany her for prenatal checkups why you and not Ethan's family I
07:06suddenly felt exhausted I watched them him carefully supporting her as they walked out
07:13while I stood at the end of the corridor like an outsider Alexander
07:23if I came here today for an abortion
07:28would you stay you what
07:36Clara don't try to deceive me with words like that no matter what I won't abandon Evelyn
07:48you really need to see a therapist
07:53let's go
07:54I stood there watching them leave when suddenly I heard the nurse calling my number it's my turn for
08:00the surgery the abortion surgery ended quickly that night I returned to the apartment alone
08:11the place was pitch dark I suddenly realized I should also draft a new contract for my own life
08:18professional habit made me instinctively write logically rigorous terms
08:23article 1 both parties voluntarily dissolve the marriage without fraud or coercion
08:29article 2 property division follows fair principles with equity under both names liquidated proportionally
08:36article 3 article 3 neither party may interfere with the other's life under any pretext
08:43when I reached article 3 I stopped writing it turned out even emotional termination could be formatted into legal documentation
08:51by me
08:53at this moment the screen lit up with an Instagram notification
08:58Avalyn had posted
09:02he's making dinner for me
09:04the doctor said I have no appetite
09:06but he's more worried than anyone
09:07a man who once pulled three all-nighters
09:10for the global biotech summit
09:12was now carefully preparing meals
09:14for another in the Mjormans fencedness
09:17laughable
09:18and pathetic
09:20a few days later Alexander called
09:23his tone was commanding
09:25come home for dinner tonight
09:26I have cases to handle
09:28mom wants to see you
09:34I wanted to refuse
09:36but somehow
09:38I went anyway
09:41Clara
09:42you're here
09:44Alex said you haven't been feeling well lately
09:47you should eat more
09:49I sincerely hope you'll feel better soon
09:51don't get me wrong
09:53Auntie specifically asked me to stay for a few days to rest properly during the pregnancy
10:00oh
10:01are you comfortable here
10:03Clara
10:04you've been married all these years without giving our family a child
10:08now that Avalyn is carrying Alex's child
10:11I'm someone needs to care for her
10:13I'm having her move in
10:14you don't mind do you?
10:16of course not
10:23do you really think that?
10:25yes
10:28remake the master bedroom on the second floor that faces the sun
10:31Evelyn needs proper rest during her pregnancy
10:34yes madam
10:35it's good that Alex values loyalty
10:38otherwise I wouldn't have a grandchild
10:41values loyalty
10:42I found it ironic
10:43if Ethan knew his wife was pregnant with his best friend's child
10:47he'd probably cough up blood
10:50are you still angry Clara?
10:52I'm sorry
10:53I just wanted to have my own child
10:58don't mind her
10:59the child in your belly is Alex's
11:02and my grandchild
11:04it must be born
11:09when the child is born
11:12remember to call me
11:13mommy
11:19Clara I'm sorry
11:20this situation must hurt you
11:23if Ethan hadn't left so suddenly
11:25I wouldn't have
11:26I'm just afraid of being alone
11:28don't touch me
11:34Clara please don't hate me okay?
11:40Evelyn
11:49I never expected you to be so vicious
11:55are you bullying Evelyn again?
12:02wasn't your performance at the hospital enough?
12:05now you even
12:07want to push her over the edge
12:16fine
12:23let's get divorced
12:25let's get divorced
12:26equity and joint property liquidated according to article 2's proportions
12:30real estate returned to respective names
12:35article 3
12:36neither party interfered the other's life under any pretext
12:43don't you need peace and quiet for the pregnancy?
12:46perfect
13:11oh my god why is she bleeding so much?
13:14call an ambulance!
13:15clara!
13:35you're awake
13:37still here

13:41don't talk nonsense
13:42the doctor said you had severe hemorrhaging after the surgery
13:45if we hadn't gotten you here in time
13:52that's enough
13:53let her rest
13:56we know now
13:58the doctor mentioned you were pregnant before
14:01clara
14:02what he did to you
14:03we saw it in the news
14:05don't be afraid
14:06we're not afraid
14:06we support your divorce
14:08mom i'm not afraid
14:11i just feel disgusted
14:14not only with him
14:16but with myself
14:17for taking so long to wake up
14:24get out
14:25get out
14:26i want to talk to clara alone
14:27there's nothing to talk about
14:30it's fine
14:31let him in
14:32they exchanged glances
14:33then finally left the room
14:35only he and i remained
14:36the air felt like frozen glass
14:39why didn't you tell me
14:41you were pregnant?
14:42what good would telling you have done?
14:45you were busy
14:46experimenting for evelyn
14:47busy accompanying her to prenatal checkups
14:51when would you have had time to hear this?
14:53clara i really didn't know
14:55i thought we were
14:57just having a temporary fight
14:59i never thought you would
15:00get an abortion
15:02alexander i told you that day at the hospital
15:05do you think marriage is an experiment?
15:08when something goes wrong you just fix it
15:10when the data looks bad you just delete it
15:14unfortunately
15:17i'm not your test subject
15:18i didn't know
15:20i thought you were joking
15:21that child
15:22he was our first child
15:24i never wanted to lose him either
15:27clara
15:30but you were busy being someone else's father
15:34that child didn't need to compete with you for the role
15:37don't come near me
15:38the smell on you makes me want to vomit
15:45sign the divorce papers
15:47alexander
15:55alexander stood there
15:56as if the words had completely struck him
15:58he just looked at me like that
16:00as if seeing me for the first time
16:02clara
16:04you really want to be this absolute
16:06should i continue letting you live with evelyn?
16:09or would you like me to join your research project
16:11and study psychological recovery mechanisms and betrayed individuals?
16:15you know what i spent all night thinking through everything
16:20our marriage died long ago
16:22you just kept using it as a test subject
16:24seeing how long it could last
16:26clara
16:27clara
16:27i really didn't know about your pregnancy
16:29if i had known
16:30what if you'd known?
16:34that day at the hospital you held evelyn and didn't even look at me
16:39you thought i was just being emotional
16:40but i actually went through with it
16:45i sent that child away alone
16:49no one was with me
16:54no one needed to be
17:00no one needed to be
17:01i shouldn't have treated you that way
17:03of course you shouldn't have but you did
17:07at this moment the hospital room fell silent
17:09except for the sound of breathing
17:12clara we can start over
17:14without evelyn without those misunderstandings
17:16i can make it up to you
17:18make it up
17:22compensation is for victims and i don't need it
17:26because in your eyes i'm not a victim
17:29just an emotional woman right?
17:37if you still remember how to sign documents sign it
17:40the rest i'll have my lawyer handle
17:47do your parents know?
17:49they support me
17:51that's the one thing you didn't expect isn't it?
17:53you thought without you no one would help me
17:56clara i really did love you
17:58i know
18:00but the person you loved was the woman who waited outside your lab
18:04who could handle your contracts
18:05who understood your work workaholic temperament
18:09at least not the me i am now
18:12no
18:12no
18:20alexander's hand hovered over the divorce agreement but never moved
18:23i already knew the answer
18:25he wouldn't sign
18:25he'd always been that kind of person
18:28rational to the point of cruelty
18:30but once he lost control he'd desperately try to restore the appearance of order
18:36clara i won't sign
18:37you can refuse but that doesn't stop me from filing
18:41in 30 days the court will grant the divorce anyway
18:45i won't let you go
18:48don't you think saying that now is ridiculous?
18:52i know i was wrong it was a mistake a moment of confusion
18:56i thought i was helping her i had no idea you were pregnant too
18:59if i'd known earlier i never would have let you face this alone
19:03unfortunately you always find out afterwards
19:08clara i can make it up to you
19:10i'm willing to do anything
19:12can you bring back the child i lost?
19:21i'm tired alexander
19:23sign the papers
19:25let's divorce
19:25i don't want a divorce
19:27i can't lose you
19:28you already lost me
19:30you're only just realizing it now
19:36forgive me
19:37we can start over
19:38i'll send evelyn abroad
19:40whatever you want
19:42i'll agree
19:42calm down
19:43i don't want your compensation
19:45i want dignity
19:47then what do you want me to do?
19:49i said sign the divorce papers
19:52i can't sign
19:54why?
19:55because once i sign
19:58everything will truly be gone
20:00alexander your so called everything was gone the first time you walked into evelyn's house
20:06don't cry
20:08from now on i'm no longer your wife
20:11and you're no longer someone i can trust
20:13you staying only makes this harder for me
20:18fine i'm leaving
20:21but clara
20:23i'll make you come back
20:36the day i was discharged the sunlight was bright
20:39so bright that for a moment i had the illusion i wasn't just leaving a hospital room
20:44but being forced awake from an absurd dream
20:48i'd already contacted the firm and had my assistant help me rent a temporary place
20:52a high ridge apartment downtown less than 10 minutes from the courthouse
20:57i needed somewhere close
20:59convenient for filing documents at any time
21:02grant biotech ceo's family drama
21:05mysterious widow suspected third party
21:07evelyn shaw posts long statement
21:09i only seek a mother's identity
21:11evelyn's tear-streaked photos were shared repeatedly
21:14while i the heartless lawyer wife
21:16was portrayed as cold-blooded
21:18selfish
21:19the villain who drove away a good friend's widow
21:21public opinion i knew it too well
21:24truth never mattered
21:26emotion drove traffic
21:29are the documents ready?
21:31grant's legal team contacted us yesterday saying they hope for an out-of-court settlement
21:38they want to buy time
21:40what are they waiting for?
21:42for me to back down
21:44but i won't
21:48can we talk?
21:51come in
21:52clara you're a smart girl
21:54you know clearly that if this divorce goes to court
21:57it won't be good for you, for the company, or for alex
22:01not good
22:02but there will be a conclusion
22:06a woman's life shouldn't only be about winning and losing
22:11then what should it be about? tolerance?
22:15the child evelyn is carrying
22:16it's grant family blood
22:18by choosing to fight this divorce now
22:20you're not just ending the marriage
22:22you're cutting off this family's legacy
22:24ma'am i'm not destroying this family
22:26i'm simply refusing to continue being sacrificed as background
22:29you're a lawyer
22:30you should understand the need to weigh options
22:33i do
22:35better than anyone
22:36which is exactly why i know that any marriage at its core
22:39is just a contract
22:41and when a contract fails, it should be terminated
22:46you'll never know who you're up against
22:49is that so?
22:51we will see
23:05that night, my phone lit up
23:08it was alexander
23:11why did you have to make the divorce public?
23:12you knew perfectly well the media would run with it
23:14now they're all smearing you
23:15i know
23:16but i also know that only in sunlight do bacteria die
23:19Clara, i'm begging you
23:22don't leave me
23:22we can start over, can't we?
23:27you still haven't signed
23:29i won't sign
23:30then i'll have the judge sign for you
23:34that night i didn't sleep
23:36i stayed up late to finish writing my divorce petition
23:41this was the most personal complaint of my legal career
23:46and my declaration of freedom
23:50next time in court, i won't be alexander's wife
23:54only his opponent
23:58clara, i just want to talk
24:00talk about what?
24:01child support, reputation, or the new script you want to perform in the media
24:06don't be like this
24:07i didn't come to fight over anything
24:11i just want you to know that this child
24:15isn't the result of artificial insemination
24:23what do you mean?
24:24he's alexander's child
24:26that day in the lab
24:27he'd been drinking, was in a bad mood
24:30i was just comforting him
24:31didn't expect
24:31he only found out later that we actually slept together
24:40do you understand?
24:41he chose me, not you
24:44no matter how rational
24:46how strong you are
24:50you can't keep him
24:55i don't need this trash
24:58i mean alexander
25:04actually, after that day, alexander felt a bit guilty
25:07i told him it was fate
25:10ethan was gone, the child was like a gift he left me
25:12and you?
25:14you're too cold, clara
25:15men don't like living with legal documents
25:18they want tenderness
25:19tenderness, evelyn
25:21in your eyes, is betrayal also a form of tenderness?
25:30clara, you should let yourself go
25:32stop fighting, it's meaningless
25:34you're right, it's meaningless
25:39but thank you for every word you said today
25:41they all have excellent evidential value
25:45what do you mean?
25:47professional habit
25:48all conversations are recorded for documentation
25:52you can't! that's invasion of privacy! give me the phone!
25:56you voluntarily stated facts
25:58and i'm simply preserving the truth
26:02you're crazy!
26:05maybe
26:06maybe
26:07but crazy people are often better at surviving than victims
26:10late that night, i simply anonymously sent the recording to an independent journalist known for exposing the false faces of
26:17the elite
26:18the next morning, the internet no wonder brought a lie
26:22mr. alexander, mrs. evelyn alleges that she conceived a child following an intimate relationship with you
26:27can you confirm or deny this claim?
26:29in the morning, grant biomiological stock price dropped 14% within an hour
26:34as the company's ceo, what are your thoughts?
26:41i'm sorry
26:44i'm sorry
26:48it was you, wasn't it?
26:52you wanted the truth, didn't you? i helped you make it public
26:58clara, you ruined me!
27:00wrong
27:01i only let the world see what you and she really are
27:03i never meant to hurt you
27:05i thought it was just a mistake
27:07a mistake? no, that was the only time you were honest in your choice
27:12alexander, starting tomorrow we'll see each other in court
27:15remember to bring your lawyer
27:21three days after the recording incident, the news was still fermenting
27:26alexander was temporarily suspended investigation
27:30investors demanded he temporarily step back
27:33Evelyn's PR team worked through the night deleting posts and controlling damage
27:38but the recording had already spread everywhere
27:41her image instantly collapsed from kind widow to textbook mistress
27:46media captured her losing emotional control and smashing a car
27:50then being pulled into an ambulance and rushed to the hospital
27:56that same night, she miscarried it
28:02when i saw the news, i was silent for a while
28:06not gloating, no pity either
28:09all of it was no longer related to me
28:12does the defendant consent to the divorce?
28:23i consent
28:28clara
28:31i signed
28:34i know
28:36but i haven't let go
28:39whether you let go or not is your business
28:42what about you?
28:44i'm free
28:50several months later, i moved to a small coastal city
28:54i handed off the firm's cases to my partner
28:57and took on international arbitration projects
28:59my new life was clean, quiet, like a contract without footnotes
29:05i was no longer anyone's wife nor anyone's enemy
29:09i was just clara grant
29:11a woman starting her life over
29:14that evening, i updated my instagram for the first time in ages
29:19the wind carries away the sound of the tide
29:22and everything from the past
29:25the first person to like it was my father
29:32the second was a stranger's account with just one letter for a name, A
29:36i didn't click on it, and didn't block it either
29:41outside the window, the sound of waves rose and fell
29:45like a long trial finally reaching its conclusion
