Short filmTranscript
00:00When my brother-in-law, Joseph Paul, died in my bed, everyone believed they knew exactly what
00:05had happened. To atone for my so-called crime, my husband, Gail Austin, divorced me and married
00:10my adopted sister, Carol Brown. The company I built, the shares that bore my name, all handed
00:15over by my brother, Stephen Brown, to Carol, who quickly rose to dazzling stardom. As for me,
00:20I was packed off to a mental institution, a convenient exile to dodge justice. By the time
00:25the statute of limitations expired, I had already become a ghost in their world.
00:32They came to pick me up. Gail carefully draped a coat over my shoulders.
00:36Iris, it's over now. I'll always be here for you.
00:39But outside, reporters swarmed her glosses around sugar.
00:42Tell us about your time in the clinic, Ms. Brownie. Ms. Brownie, how could you shamelessly
00:46seduce your own brother-in-law and get away with his death?
00:49Isn't it an insult to the victim that you dodge prison with a fake psychiatric diagnosis
00:53and spent your days lounging in a mental card?
00:55I didn't hear them. The endless electroshock therapy in the mental institution had left
01:00me with constant tinnitus. Then it happened. A fan of Carol flung a bottle of rancid animal
01:04blood straight at me.
01:05You witch! Because of you, Carol had no one to celebrate her birthday! You killed her husband,
01:11destroyed her family, and now you're trying to steal to her last living relative too?
01:15Why don't you just drop-
01:16I stood frozen as the thick liquid dripped down my face. But that wasn't true.
01:21Back then, they dislocated my jaw so I couldn't speak in my own defense.
01:24Forged evidence. Painted me as a monster. All to bury the truth, Carol was the real killer.
01:31Slowly, I raised a hand and wiped the blood from my eyes. No tears. No hysterics. Not even a flicker
01:39of reaction.
01:39I turned and walked away from the shouting crowd.
01:42Iris!
01:43Steven's voice cut through the noise behind me, tight with disbelief.
01:46Where are you going?
01:50Where are you going? Don't make a scene here, Iris. We're taking you home.
01:54I stopped. Finally, I looked at them.
01:58Home?
02:00Which one?
02:01Steven, didn't you sign over everything I own to Carol?
02:05What home is left for me?
02:06Steven's expression stiffened.
02:08I turned to Gail, whose fingers were still clamped tightly around my hand.
02:12I curved my lips into a bitter smile.
02:14Oh, I congratulations on your marriage to Carol. Though honestly, no need to hide it next time.
02:20If you could carry on and fare under my loof, clearly public opinion doesn't trouble you.
02:25Iris! Must you talk to me with this attitude?
02:29What kind of attitude is that? After everything we've done for you, this is how you repay us.
02:33As they tugged at me, the same fan barreled forward again, eyes blazing with hatred.
02:39She raised her hand to slap me.
02:42Bitch! How dare you disrespect Steven and Carol's husband? I ought to kill you!
02:48This time, Gail and Steven caught her.
02:51Iris, can't you see you're only making things worse? Why can't you just talk through this?
02:57Seriously?
02:58Seriously? Making things worse? Let me ask you something. What have I done,
03:05from the very beginning to now, that warranted any of this? She's a murderer. You protected her,
03:11locked me away in a living hell, and wrecked my life, and now you want me to thank you?
03:16You're no better than executioners. Shut up! There was no murder! Carol is a gentle,
03:23innocent girl. Don't you dare slander her! You're just jealous. You envy Joseph's love for her,
03:29and that's why you concocted this sick fantasy. Sending you to the mental emancipation was mercy.
03:34It was for treatment, not punishment. The least you can do is be grateful.
03:39Gail sighed. Iris, please. I know you feel wronged. Marrying Carol was temporary. She fell into a deep
03:47depression after Joseph's death. Being with her was part of your atonement. Once she's better,
03:53we can start over. I promise. And I'll never leave you again.
03:58I swing my hand and strike him across the face with all the force I have. The crack echoed through
04:02the air. Gail's head snapped to the side, a bright red handprint blooming on his cheek.
04:06Iris, have you lost your mind? Start over? Gail, you truly disgust me! Disgust me!
04:14Go live your perfect life with your dear Carol. A scroundrel and a scheming snake. You're a match made
04:20in hell! I won't keep you company anymore! Iris, this is your last chance! Kneel!
04:28Apologize to Gail and Carol right now. Or don't expect me to see you as my sister ever again.
04:37Just see how you survive in Seaford without my protection!
04:41Just then, a sleek, understated luxury limousine glided to a halt at the edge of the crowd. The
04:45door opened silently. Carol emerged with poised grace, her assistant steadying her elbow.
04:50Stephen, Gail, please, don't speak to Irish like that.
04:54The moment Gail and Stephen saw her, they practically bolted to her side.
04:58Why did you come out, Carol? It's chaos out here. Get back in the car!
05:01He's right, Carol. You don't feel well. You shouldn't have come.
05:05Gail added, wrapping an arm protectively around her, shielding her from view.
05:09Their cautious demeanor was a blade in my gut. Once, they had cherished me in the same way.
05:18Some older students cornered me at school back then. Stephen shrugged off his backpack and threw
05:22himself into the fight, one against three. Bruised and bleeding, he'd bring like a fool and say,
05:27don't worry. I've got you.
05:32Meanwhile, Gail removed every obstacle in silence. He leveraged family power to crush the other boy's
05:38families, forcing them out of the city. His father had punished him for it, six lashes across his back.
05:43Yet he never told me. The clearer those memories became, the more grotesque the present felt. It was like I
05:49was
05:50watching a dream rot into a nightmare. No one was paying attention to me.
05:55The same fan who'd attacked me before seized her chance, along with a few others. She lunged forward,
06:01yanking my hair and slamming me to the ground.
06:03Rip that seductive face to shreds! Murderer! Let's purge society of trash like you!
06:11Over the five years in the institution, I've learned to absorb pain, to curl inward,
06:16show up my head and chest, and wait for it to pass.
06:19Murderer! Let's purge society of trash like you!
06:22Blurt vision swam as they kicked and dragged me. Through a slit of sight, I saw Gail lean close to
06:27Carol, murmuring reassurances. His expression was softer than I'd seen in years.
06:34Stephen, meanwhile, glanced at me with undisguised disgust.
06:39Stop!
06:41Carol feigned shock, as if she hadn't noticed the mess until now. She cried,
06:46stepping between them and me. Gently, she reached out.
06:50Iris, are you alright? Yet her fingers dug cruelly into the wound on my arm.
06:55I let out a strangled groan. She flinched as if I'd burned her, then burst into dramatic tears.
07:02I'm sorry, Iris. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted to help.
07:09How much longer will you keep hurting Carol?
07:14Still acting? After all this time still playing the victim,
07:17Carol barely touched you and you clutch your wounds like martyrdism? Trying to pull that old trick
07:21again? Pretending to be her, saving me, then framing her and ruining her reputation?
07:26Ruining the career she has built for years? Carol is kind. She fears these lies. Me? I'm not so forgiving.
07:32The agony in my scalp was blinding. If you try those stunts again,
07:36the mental institution will welcome you back. You better believe it.
07:40Enough! She's still your sister. Does she deserve to be?
07:45Ever since she ran from that valley and left me to die, all for her own skin,
07:49she's no longer my sister. From that day forward, Carol is the only sister I have.
07:55Steven was so enraged. Gale stared at him for a while before shifting his gaze on me,
07:59curled and broken on the ground, then sighed heavily. He removed his suit jacket and placed
08:03it over me, his movements stiff and automatic, before turning away. I'm taking Carol to the
08:07hospital. She looked terrified and her face was pale. Carol immediately leaned into him,
08:12looking fragile and helpless. Gale, my stomach hurts. I've got you. Let me take you to the hospital.
08:19He swept her into his arms effortlessly. From that moment on, he never spared me a glance.
08:25Steven glanced down at me with loathing, then barked at the remaining assistants and bodyguards.
08:30Clean this up. Make sure no one gets near Carol's car. Then he hurried after Gale,
08:35shielding her like a prized jewel. The fan sneered, squatting beside me and slapping my bruised cheek.
08:41See? No one cares about her! Another girl joined in, grabbing the lapels of Gale's jacket.
08:47Thought you were tough just now, huh? Go on, murderer! Kill me if you can! You don't deserve nice things!
08:54Strip her! Strip her gown! She's not fit to wear decent clothes!
08:59Another chimed in. Several voices eagerly agreed. Agony lanced through every inch of me. I could
09:05barely move. I could only watch, helpless, as their hands clawed at my torn hospital gown. I tried to
09:11struggle, but my throat barely let out a whisper. They dragged me to a secluded corner, away from crying
09:17eyes. One of them produced a small bottle of super glue from her back. Since you're so fond of seducing
09:23people, let's make sure that pretty mouth of yours never opens again. And those seductive eyes.
09:28I thrashed and fought, but it only earned me more blows.
09:35Finally, one of the bodyguards, clearly uneasy, called Steven.
09:39Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown. Ms. Brown is being attacked by some of Ms. Carol Brown's fans.
09:44What should we do? Do I need to be updated on every little incident?
09:48Steven snapped, cutting him off. I told you to keep Carol's path clear. Why should I care about that?
09:55At that moment, Gail's voice pierced through the line, tense and breathless.
09:59Stop wasting time. Carol's heart rate is spiking. Get a doctor. Now.
10:04Monitor the situation. Don't cause a scene. And whatever you do,
10:07don't let anyone capture anything that could be damaging to Carol.
10:09As long as that woman doesn't die, we're fine.
10:13Click. The call ended. The girls nearby had clearly overheard. Their laughter rang out,
10:18sharp and cruel. They exchanged gleeful glances. Their taunting laughter became even more grating.
10:36The crowd eventually thinned. No one bothered to call me an ambulance. No one offered a hand.
10:42I was left there like garbage. Gritting my teeth. I forced myself up,
10:47joints screaming in protest. I pulled out my phone. There was a number I knew all too well.
10:52And I sent a message. I agree with the cooperation. The price is negotiable. I just want them dead.
11:00My hands trembled as I hit send. I'd received a message from this number four years into my
11:05confinement. At the time, I hadn't dared respond. I'd promised my parents I'd survive,
11:10no matter what. I couldn't risk falling into a trap. If I died, I'd lose everything.
11:16But then the person had sent a photo that chilled me to the bone, an image of me unconscious,
11:20with Carol and the others staging Joseph's body beside me.
11:23Evidence is ready. See you at the red carpet at 8 tonight.
11:26That reply had calmed me more than anything. I wanted to tell my parents the good news. After all,
11:32before they died, I was what they worried about the most. But the moment I rose,
11:36two unforgiving hands clamped around my arm. They were Stephen's bodyguards. They hauled me back to
11:42the villa and threw me onto the cold stone floor. My knees cracked hard against the rough surface.
11:47Ms. Brown? Mr. Brown's orders were clear. Ms. Carol's pregnancy is unstable. We'll kneel here
11:53and pray for her. Consider it your punishment. Unstable? What does that have to do with me?
12:00I twisted, but the ropes only tightened. As the evening progressed, a biting wind
12:05seeped through my clothes, gnawing at my bones. My knees, numbed by pain, throbbed dully. Dawn was
12:11near when Gail and Stephen finally returned. Instinctively, I shrank deeper into the shadows
12:16of the garden hedge. Gail, what are you waiting for? We can
12:19let Iris kneel in place of Carol to appease Joseph's mother this time. But what happens next?
12:24His mother's a lunatic. We hand Iris over, problem solved. They look so much alike.
12:29With her mental state, she won't even notice the switch. Enough.
12:33Gail tugged at his tie, visibly irritated. I'll handle it if it comes to that.
12:38I took an involuntary step back before he could finish. Stephen spun around.
12:42Who's there? Who's there? Time stilled. Panic surged. I tried to run,
12:48but my wrists were still bound, and my legs barely obeyed. I stumbled.
12:52Gail closed the distance in two strides, grabbing my shoulder and pinning me in place.
12:56You heard everything. Well, that doesn't really give me much choice. Carol's red carpet debut
13:01tonight is critical. There can't be any slip ups. So, you'll just have to suffer through this.
13:06Don't worry, we'll have someone tail you. You won't come to any real harm.
13:10Joseph's mother, Mrs. Paul, was nothing but a madwoman. Back when she'd seen Joseph's corpse in my bed,
13:15she'd nearly killed me in her grief-fueled madness. People had barely restrained her.
13:22No, Gail, please. You can't send me to her. She'll kill me. She really does. She really will.
13:32Stop it, Iris. This is for the bigger picture. He dislocated my jaw. It's just humiliation.
13:38You should be used to it by now. Once this is over, I promise I'll divorce Carol and come back
13:45to you.
13:46He clapped his hands. Two bodyguards stepped forward and hoisted me up, dragging me towards
13:51Mrs. Paul's estate. It didn't take long. Inside the villa, Mrs. Paul sat on the sofa,
13:56clutching a portrait of her son. Joseph, my dear child, don't be afraid.
14:01Those who harmed you, I won't let them go unpunished. The television in the background
14:07played on, broadcasting the glittering red carpet coverage. Carol and Gail smiled side by side,
14:13bathed in camera flashes, flawless in designer finery. Her murmurs faltered and soon stopped.
14:18Mrs. Paul's gaze locked onto the screen. Her cloudy eyes widened.
14:22Why? Why is the murderer smiling while my son lies cold underground?
14:29The bodyguards exchanged uneasy glances. One stepped forward and shoved me ahead.
14:35The moment Mrs. Paul saw me, she froze. Then, like a rabbit animal, she lunged.
14:39Her skeletal fingers wrapped around my throat, nails digging into flesh, cutting off breath.
14:47She snatched a fruit knife from the table and drove it towards my chest.
14:54Across the city, the grand ballroom blazed with light.
14:57Carol glided across the floor on Gail's arm, with Stephen guarding her other side like a loyal
15:02sentinel. The ballroom erupted in a symphony of applause. Cameras sparked like fireworks. Champagne
15:07glasses chimed in celebration, and a cascade of praise spilled from every corner. Then,
15:12the giant scream behind the stage flickered and went black.
15:15What's happening?
15:15A technical error?
15:17I don't know.
15:17Murmurs of confusion rippled through the crowd. Gail frowned and shifted towards the backstage.
15:22Stephen tensed, angling himself slightly in front of Carol. Seconds later, the screen lit up again.
15:28In the footage, Carol, with her back to the camera, grabbed a vase from the bedside and smashed it
15:33down on Joseph. His body crumpled down the wall, landing with a dull thud, twitching a few times before
15:38going still. The entire scene lasted mere seconds. Silence. Then came the uproar.
15:44Is that Carol? Did she kill Joseph? So, Iris was framed? Get this footage out! Front page,
15:51this is huge! Reporters surged forward. Cameras raised, pushing past security. Microphones jabbed
15:57towards Carol, whose face had drained of color. Miss Carol, how do you explain this? Are you the real
16:02thing to collect their will? The story behind the murder case? Is it true? Did you set Iris up?
16:08Gail reacted first. He yanked Carol behind him, shielding her.
16:13Everyone, please remain calm. That footage has been manipulated. The woman in the video is Iris.
16:21Exactly. This is fake. Carol is like an angel. She would never do such a thing. It has to be
16:27Iris!
16:28She's always been manipulative! She was jealous of Carol and tried to destroy her!
16:32But the reporters weren't buying it. The footage was damning. And the figure was all too familiar.
16:38It was Carol. Steven's expression darkened. He pulled out his phone.
16:44Bring Iris here! Now! Mr. Brownie, I'm afraid Miss Brownie can't be there. What do you mean she can't?
16:51Put her on the phone. Sir, Miss Brownie was stabbed in the heart by Mrs. Paul. She didn't make it.
16:58No. That's impossible. I don't believe it!
17:04His head jerked up towards Gail. Gail, too, had heard the ever-composed mask he wore shattered.
17:10How could this happen?
17:12The reporters pressed closer, emboldened, reaching for Carol for an answer.
17:17Gail, my stomach. It hurts.
17:20Carol seemed to have lost her strength, sliding downward. Normally, Gail would have swept her into
17:25his arms instantly. But this time, his mind reeled, caught between panic and disbelief.
17:31It was only when Carol moaned softly that he snapped back to the moment.
17:34Don't worry. Don't let the reporters scare you. I'll take you to the hospital.
17:39He turned to Steven, leaving Carol to him.
17:41You take her. I'm going to the Paul's Villa.
17:44Steven, however, didn't move. He turned to leave.
17:49Stop! Where are you going?
17:51Gail grabbed his arm.
17:52Carol's surrounded by reporters. How can you just leave her?
17:54Steven wrenched his arm free.
17:56Where do you think I'm going?
18:00Steven!
18:01Gail turned back.
18:03Mind your place. Don't drag this out and hurt Carol.
18:07Steven let out a hollow, bitter laugh, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
18:11My place? Gail, that's my sister lying there, dying, while you lecture me about my place?
18:19To hell with that!
18:20Without another word, he stormed towards the exit.
18:23Carol's hand brushed his sleeve.
18:25Gail.
18:27Don't worry. I'm just going to bring her back.
18:30Make sure she can't cause you any more trouble.
18:32He couldn't tell whose mind he was trying to ease.
18:35He followed after Steven.
18:36The two arrived at the villa almost at the same time.
18:39Blood stained the marble floors.
18:42Gail's fist collided with Steven's face.
18:45Steven!
18:49Didn't you promise there were bodyguards watching her?
18:53That she'd be perfectly safe?
18:55Then where are they?
18:57Even a healthy man wouldn't survive this.
18:59She's just come out of a mental institution.
19:01How could she withstand this? Tell me how!
19:06Steven's face twitched with anguish.
19:08He licked the blood from the corner of his mouth.
19:11Turning his gaze on Gail, whose eyes were bloodshot.
19:14Gail's still pretending.
19:16Back then, for Carol's sake, you sent Iris to that hellhole.
19:20Ordered the doctors to electrocute her into a drooling shadow,
19:24just so she'd never fight back against Carol.
19:27Did you ever stop to ask if my sister could endure it?
19:31Speechless, he stared at Steven, though he couldn't find a word to defend himself.
19:36Steven turned away from him, gaze snapping back to the crimson stain.
19:40I don't believe she's dead.
19:42I know Iris better than anyone.
19:44She's been a brilliant liar since we were kids.
19:48And she values her life above everything.
19:51Years ago, when we fell off that cliff, she stole my supplies, left me to freeze and saved herself.
19:56Someone like that doesn't just die, not to mention a stab in the heart.
20:00She staged this.
20:01She's hiding, watching us turn anxious and crazy and finally unravel.
20:06She must be plotting to ruin Carol and destroy everything at the worst possible moment.
20:14Where is she? Were you all blind? You idiots! Tell me what happened!
20:21Didn't I order you to protect her well?
20:25Mr. Brown, we did everything we could. Mrs. Paul moved faster than lightning.
20:31By the time we reacted, it was too late.
20:37Lies!
20:39You're elite. Hired by Brown security.
20:42Trained for hostage situations and armed confrontations.
20:45Six trained men, and you let a mentally unstable woman overpower you?
20:49Let her plunge a knife straight into Iris' heart?
20:51Do you take me for a fool? Talk, what really happened?
20:57Steven's hand cracked across the guard's face.
21:00Where is she? Mr. Brown, please spare us!
21:03It was Miss Carol. She gave the order, telling us to bait and push Mrs. Paul until she killed Miss
21:09Brown.
21:09We told her the moment it happened. But when we got back, this is what we found.
21:15Carol.
21:16The name landed like a death sentence. Steven staggered as if gut-punched.
21:21His innocent, delicate sister, his shining angel, behind it all? Footsteps echoed, urgent, rapid.
21:28Carol rushed into the room, cheeks pale, eyes rimmed in red.
21:32Gail! Steven! I'm so scared! My stomach, it hurts so much.
21:40She spotted them and instinctively ran to Gail, arms outstretched as usual.
21:44But this time, he didn't catch her. She missed, stumbling, and looked up in astonishment,
21:49only to meet Gail's frigid stare. Her heart sank.
21:52Gail? Steven? What's wrong?
21:54She scrambled to mask the panic, plastering on her usual fragile expression.
21:58You just left me there. I was terrified.
22:04Those reporters nearly tore me apart. To her surprise, he grabbed her by the neck, firm,
22:10unflinching. Who gave you permission to hurt Iris?
22:18Gail, how dare you?
22:20Why not? If you weren't still useful to me, I'd snap your neck right now.
22:28Kill me, and all your secrets will go public.
22:32Gail, stop!
22:33She can't die!
22:35Carol collapsed to the floor, coughing violently. She glared up at Gail, defiant.
22:40You kill me. You die too. Both of you. I guarantee it.
22:47I've backed up everything. Not just Joseph's murder. I've kept everything. Video proof,
22:53recorded conversations, transaction records, everything tying you to asset transfers,
22:59money laundering, the accidents tied with troublesome shareholders.
23:03If anything happens to me, it all gets sent to the authorities. Automatically.
23:08We fall together.
23:09Carol, shut your mouth!
23:16Face it, boys. We're in this together. Iris was always the burden.
23:23What was she to you?
23:25Without me, your empire collapses. Your dirty laundry sees daylight.
23:30Think twice before you try anything with me.
23:33Gail, she's right. This isn't the time to turn on each other.
23:38Clean this up. We suppressed the red carpet footage completely. And Iris?
23:43Find her. Alive or dead.
23:46When I opened my eyes, the dull ache in my chest throbbed through layers of expertly wrapped bandages.
23:51Mrs. Paul sat beside the bed, gently dabbing my cracked lips with a cotton swab dipped in warm water.
23:56The moment I regained my consciousness.
23:59Sally, I told you. This was too dangerous.
24:06If that knife had slipped an inch, or if they hadn't left as we planned, you wouldn't have survived.
24:12It was the only way to break them from the inside.
24:17There was no other path.
24:18In truth, I had already allied with Mrs. Paul long before that night.
24:23She had harbored doubts about Joseph's death from the beginning.
24:27On the afternoon he died, he'd sent her a blurred video.
24:31In it, Carol was drugging a group of young women, several of whom later appeared on missing persons flyers.
24:39Mrs. Paul had been ready to call the police. But as she stepped outside, a car nearly crushed her.
24:45She woke up hours later in a ditch. Her phone was gone. Officials called it a mugging. But she knew
24:51better.
24:52It was a warning. Since then, she had feigned madness, secretly investigating.
24:57It took her a long time to recover the video, but its quality was too plore.
25:01Gail's digital smear teams buried the truth all too well.
25:05All her efforts were in vain. Carol's star never dimmed.
25:10Is there really nothing we can do? Do we just sit here and let them get away with murder?
25:16Who says we don't have solid evidence?
25:20In the institution, I met someone. Eric Richards, Gail's former chief secretary.
25:27What he has should be enough to bury them.
25:31Gail's secretary? How did he end up in that place?
25:35That mental institution?
25:37It's not a hospital. It's Gail's private graveyard for anyone who crosses him.
25:45We have to save him. Now, with that evidence, we can send them all to hell.
25:50Wait, Mrs. Paul. No rush.
25:53We had a plan. After I got rid of them, I was supposed to meet Eric.
25:58Somewhere only he and I knew.
26:00We arrived at Eric's apartment soon after.
26:03The moment the door creeped open, a metallic tank flooded the air, blood.
26:06My stomach dropped. Phone flashlight in hand.
26:10I scanned the dark space.
26:13In the corner, slumped and lifeless, was Eric.
26:16His throat had been slit clean through.
26:20Move. I grabbed Mrs. Paul's arm. It's not safe. Gail's close.
26:24Unfortunately, as we turned to leave, from the shadows emerged a tall figure, impeccably dressed in a tailored suit.
26:30It was Gail. Behind him loomed Steven.
26:38Iris, why is it so hard for you to learn?
26:41He reached out to me.
26:42Come here. I'll forgive your betrayal, your scheming, even your little stunt with outsiders.
26:47Just promise to stay by my side. Forever.
26:50That idiot Carol thought she could threaten me? Please. I've already put her where she belongs.
26:56No one will stand in our way. Come back. And we can pick up-
27:01In your dreams. I'll never forgive you.
27:05Iris, stop this. Come back to Gail. Let's just forgive-
27:08Steven, have you forgotten your childhood dream? You wanted to be a police officer.
27:12Instead, you became the worst kind of criminal. You even killed mom and dad.
27:19You know? Do you think I wanted to?
27:22The company was failing. I begged them for funds to stabilize it, but they refused,
27:27saying it was for your future life. But I'm the brown heir. I was entitled.
27:32All my life, you got everything first. Even dad favored you to take over the company.
27:38Why? They asked for it. They stood in my way. Everything was always about you.
27:44So you knew I saved you that night at the cliff. But you convinced yourself I'd abandoned you.
27:49You just made it easier to hate me. To destroy me.
27:51Enough! Iris, I'm done asking. Hand over whatever Eric gave you,
27:55and tell me everything you know. For old time's sake, I'll give you a clean way out. Or-
27:59He gave a signal, and the bodyguards closed in from both sides.
28:03I stepped in front of Mrs. Paul, shielding her until we backed against the cold wall, with nowhere left to
28:08run.
28:09Well, I don't know. I can tell you. I had found a lot. I haven't had a good call on,
28:09but not at least in my head.
