00:00:07She is the real killer!

00:00:10You have been arrested.

00:00:13I was imprisoned for ten years for intentional homicide.

00:00:17Ten years of being screamed at, beaten, bullied, my uterus damaged from the beatings, my ankle shattered.

00:00:25The only thing that kept me alive was one question I needed to ask my boyfriend Miles.

00:00:32Why?

00:00:34Miles had been my knight, my loyal, unwavering protector.

00:00:38Junior year of high school, a girl tried to bully me.

00:00:41The next day, her naked photos were plastered across the school's main screen for everyone to see.

00:00:47She never recovered.

00:00:48Senior year, an older guy wanted me and slipped something into my drink.

00:00:53Miles put him in the hospital.

00:00:56Partial paralysis.

00:00:58He never walked right again.

00:01:02After that, anyone who hurt me got hurt back.

00:01:05Because he'd made a promise in the front of my parents' graves when I was ten years old.

00:01:10Mr. and Mrs. Gratian, I swear I'll protect Jade for the rest of my life.

00:01:13He kept that promise from the time I was ten until I was nineteen.

00:01:18Miles was like my shadow.

00:01:21Wherever I was, he was behind me.

00:01:24Until I turned nineteen, Miles fell in love with someone else.

00:01:30She was loud and dazzling and nothing like anyone we'd ever known.

00:01:36Prove to me you're completely crazy about me, and I'll be yours.

00:01:42So Miles drove a knife into her fiancé.

00:01:45Again and again, the man bled out.

00:01:49When the police arrived, Miles pressed the knife into my hand.

00:01:52Then he pointed at me.

00:01:55As they dragged me away, the last thing I heard him say was,

00:01:59I'm sorry.

00:02:01The day I got out, it snowed so hard I could barely see.

00:02:05I stood at the prison gates feeling like I'd stepped out of a different century.

00:02:11But I recognized him instantly.

00:02:22Jade.

00:02:25I came to take you home.

00:02:28Ten years had stripped every trace of the boy he used to be.

00:02:32He looked composed.

00:02:34Polished.

00:02:34Miles.

00:02:35My voice came out quiet.

00:02:37No anger in it.

00:02:38I didn't have the energy for anger.

00:02:40Why?

00:02:40My parents had died because of him.

00:02:42Murdered by his family's enemies.

00:02:44He'd taken my ten-year-old hand and we'd run together.

00:02:47We slept under highway overspents.

00:02:49We fought rats for scraps of food.

00:02:52On the coldest nights, we held each other and shook until morning.

00:02:55He worked three jobs to put me through school.

00:02:58Worked himself until he coughed up blood.

00:03:01I cried when I saw it.

00:03:03He just wiped his mouth and said,

00:03:06I'm done for Jade, but you're not.

00:03:08You've got something better ahead of you.

00:03:11I never understood why someone who was basically my family would hand me a murder weapon and watch me get

00:03:16arrested.

00:03:17For a woman he'd known five minutes.

00:03:25I'm sorry, Jade.

00:03:26I was out of my mind over Fiona.

00:03:28I'd never met anyone like her.

00:03:31Everything she did, every look, every word, it got under my skin.

00:03:34She said if I went to prison, she'd end up with someone else.

00:03:36I couldn't risk it.

00:03:37I knew you'd get hurt.

00:03:39But I couldn't lose her.

00:03:41He said that while pulling Fiona closer.

00:03:46I was just talking when I said that.

00:03:48I didn't think he'd actually stabbed Marcus.

00:03:50But the second he did, I was gone for him.

00:03:55Don't feel too bad.

00:03:57Miles left you a house and ten million dollars.

00:04:00How many people would kill for that kind of payout?

00:04:03Literally.

00:04:04Her voice had the easy confidence of someone giving a homeless person spare change.

00:04:09None of it mattered to me.

00:04:10Not the money.

00:04:11Not the house.

00:04:12I had a fascicle cancer.

00:04:14Stage four.

00:04:15One month left, maybe.

00:04:18Okay.

00:04:20It's freezing out here, Jade.

00:04:22Get in the car.

00:04:24Miles turned and walked toward the house with Fiona, laughing at something she said.

00:04:34He didn't notice me limping behind them.

00:04:36Didn't notice that every step cost me something.

00:04:41We drove to Fiona's estate.

00:04:43Security guards, a staff of five, a house that looked like a hotel.

00:04:48Everything Miles and I used to dream about from under our overpass.

00:04:52He'd gotten all of it.

00:04:53He'd gotten every single thing we imagined.

00:04:57And I'd gotten ten years of concrete floors and iron bars.

00:05:01When we pulled up, Fiona stepped in front of the door.

00:05:07Hold on.

00:05:10I have a thing about germs.

00:05:12You need to clean up before you come inside.

00:05:14Someone who's been in prison for a decade needs a proper scrub before setting foot in my house.

00:05:19I understood exactly what she was doing.

00:05:22The temperature was somewhere below 20.

00:05:25A cold shower outside would kill me.

00:05:29I smiled, politely.

00:05:31That's fine.

00:05:32I don't need to come in.

00:05:33Fiona's eyes sharpened.

00:05:35She thought I was trying to make her look bad.

00:05:38Don't play victim with me.

00:05:39You scrubbed down in cold water every day in there, didn't you?

00:05:43I looked at Miles.

00:05:44He met my eyes with something that might have been apology.

00:05:47Then he said,

00:05:48She's a little spoiled.

00:05:49It's just a shower.

00:05:50Can you just go along with it?

00:05:52I went still.

00:05:53The man standing in front of me was not the Miles I grew up with.

00:05:57Then I won't come in.

00:05:59I said,

00:06:00Thank you for the offer.

00:06:01I turned to go.

00:06:03His voice stopped me.

00:06:04Are you seriously still holding a grudge?

00:06:07I said I'd make it up to you.

00:06:08What more do you want?

00:06:09I turned back.

00:06:11Did I kill someone?

00:06:13Did I put you in prison for ten years?

00:06:15Did I invite myself into your house?

00:06:17Three questions.

00:06:19His face went red.

00:06:21You're coming inside.

00:06:22And you're doing it clean.

00:06:24The staff came out with a pressure hose.

00:06:28The water hit me like a wall of ice.

00:06:31I curled into myself.

00:06:32Arms wrapped around my chest, shaking so hard my teeth rattled.

00:06:36My spring jacket went soaked through in seconds.

00:06:38I lifted my head.

00:06:40There you go.

00:06:41I took care of it.

00:06:41Stop being mad.

00:06:43You're too pretty to make that face.

00:06:44She pressed herself against him and kissed him right there on the steps,

00:06:47like I wasn't on my knees in the ice water ten feet away.

00:06:51I stopped fighting.

00:06:52I let the water hit me.

00:06:54A night years ago, also snowing,

00:06:57Miles and I huddled under a highway overpass,

00:06:59one rotting blanket between us.

00:07:01This is the last cold winter we'll ever have, Jade.

00:07:04I swear.

00:07:05I will never let you freeze again.

00:07:07I had believed him completely.

00:07:09But he had forgotten completely now.

00:07:12Eventually, Fiona clapped her hands.

00:07:14All right.

00:07:15That's enough.

00:07:16You're clean.

00:07:17Come inside.

00:07:18I was soaking wet and shaking when my body went forward instead of upright.

00:07:29I woke up three days later.

00:07:33Miles was talking to the house doctor.

00:07:37When he saw my eyes open, he came to the bed quickly.

00:07:42Jade, I'm sorry.

00:07:43I didn't know your body was this bad.

00:07:45Is anything still hurting?

00:07:46I shook my head.

00:07:47He waited.

00:07:48I didn't say anything.

00:07:50Finally, he asked, quietly.

00:07:52Your leg.

00:07:54Why are you...

00:07:54How did that happen?

00:07:55I looked at the ceiling.

00:07:56The block leader in my unit.

00:07:58I wouldn't hand over the money I earned during labor.

00:08:02So they broke my ankle to teach me a lesson.

00:08:07After that, they decided that was boring.

00:08:09So they stopped letting me eat.

00:08:11Whatever food I got, they took.

00:08:12Then that got boring too.

00:08:15So they held me down and force-fed me scalding food straight from the pot.

00:08:19Silence.

00:08:20Why didn't you tell me yesterday?

00:08:22His voice came out strange.

00:08:24Tight.

00:08:26I used to.

00:08:27I said.

00:08:30The first time they hit me, I screamed your name.

00:08:33Miles.

00:08:34Help me.

00:08:35Miles, come get me.

00:08:36Then I figured out it didn't work.

00:08:39Eventually, you stopped calling for someone who isn't coming.

00:08:41He grabbed my hand.

00:08:43His was shaking.

00:08:44I'm getting you the best, doctors.

00:08:46You're going to get better.

00:08:47I'll give you back everything I took from you.

00:08:49Stay here while you recover.

00:08:50I'll have someone with you around the clock.

00:08:52When you're well, I'll feel better about you leaving.

00:08:55I gave him a small smile.

00:08:58Okay.

00:09:00He was going to be disappointed.

00:09:02I wouldn't live long enough for any of that.

00:09:06Rest.

00:09:07I'll check on you later.

00:09:09Then walked out fast.

00:09:11Like the room was on fire.

00:09:13That afternoon, he transferred the deed on a house in the Soberds into my name and put

00:09:18ten million dollars in a new bank account.

00:09:22He started to say something else, but seemed to lose it.

00:09:25You're old things.

00:09:27Everything's in here.

00:09:29Do you have to be this formal with me?

00:09:31I know I didn't-

00:09:31Miles?

00:09:32Dinner.

00:09:33I didn't want to go.

00:09:35I physically couldn't eat anymore.

00:09:36The cancer made sure of that.

00:09:38But Fiona said she'd cooked specifically for me to help me get my strength back, and I

00:09:42had to come down.

00:09:43So I did.

00:09:44I took one sip of the soup.

00:09:47My esophagus felt like it caught fire.

00:09:50I set down my spoon.

00:09:52Thank you for making this, Fiona.

00:09:54It's really good.

00:09:56I'm full.

00:09:58Are you doing this on purpose?

00:10:00You had one sip.

00:10:02I cooked for three hours.

00:10:03You're finishing every bite.

00:10:08The smell of the food alone had my stomach turning.

00:10:13I'm not well, I said.

00:10:14My face had gone white.

00:10:16I genuinely can't.

00:10:17Because I scared you into the hospital last week, I made this as an apology.

00:10:21And you can't even give me the decency of eating it.

00:10:24I should have saved myself the trouble.

00:10:26The housekeeper piped up from the corner.

00:10:28She burned her hands making it.

00:10:30Got blisters.

00:10:31Some people don't know how to appreciate kindness.

00:10:34Ungrateful.

00:10:35Without looking up, he said.

00:10:37Jade, don't cause a scene.

00:10:39She put in the effort.

00:10:40Just finish it.

00:10:41I laughed before I could stop myself.

00:10:44Then I pressed the laugh down and said, quietly,

00:10:46Miles, I have ethophical cancer.

00:10:49Stage four.

00:10:50I can't eat.

00:10:53And now you're cursing yourself?

00:10:55You're going to die next, I assume?

00:10:59It's one meal, Jade.

00:11:00Stop being dramatic.

00:11:15She is the real killer!

00:11:17You have been arrested.

00:11:20I was in prison for ten years for intentional homicide.

00:11:25Ten years of being screamed at, beaten, bullied, my uterus damaged from the beatings, my ankle shattered.

00:11:32The only thing that kept me alive was one question I needed to ask my boyfriend, Miles.

00:11:39Why?

00:11:41Miles had been my knight.

00:11:43My loyal, unwavering protector.

00:11:45Junior year of high school.

00:11:47A girl tried to bully me.

00:11:48The next day, her naked photos were plastered across the school's main screen for everyone to see.

00:11:54She never recovered.

00:11:55Senior year, an older guy wanted me and slipped something into my drink.

00:12:01Miles put him in the hospital.

00:12:03Partial paralysis.

00:12:06He never walked right away.

00:12:10After that, anyone who hurt me got hurt back.

00:12:13Because he'd made a promise in the front of my parents' graves when I was ten years old.

00:12:17Mr. and Mrs. Gratian, I swear I'll protect Jade for the rest of my life.

00:12:21He kept that promise from the time I was ten until I was nineteen.

00:12:26Miles was like my shadow.

00:12:28Wherever I was, he was behind me.

00:12:32Until I turned nineteen, Miles fell in love with someone else.

00:12:37She was loud and dazzling and nothing like anyone we'd ever known.

00:12:43Prove to me you're completely crazy about me.

00:12:47And I'll be yours.

00:12:50So Miles drove a knife into her fiancé.

00:12:53Again and again, the man bled out.

00:13:18But I recognized him instantly.

00:13:30Jade.

00:13:32I came to take you home.

00:13:36Ten years had stripped every trace of the boy he used to be.

00:13:39He looked composed.

00:13:41Polished.

00:13:42Miles.

00:13:42My voice came out quiet.

00:13:44No anger in it.

00:13:46I didn't have the energy for anger.

00:13:47Why?

00:13:48My parents had died because of him.

00:13:50Murdered by his family's enemies.

00:14:36I'd never met anyone like her.

00:15:16None of it mattered to me.

00:15:18Not the money.

00:15:18Not the house.

00:15:20I had a fascicle cancer.

00:15:21Stage four.

00:15:23One month left, maybe.

00:15:26Okay.

00:15:28It's freezing out here, Jade.

00:15:30Get in the car.

00:15:32Miles turned and walked toward the house with Fiona,

00:15:35laughing at something she said.

00:15:41He didn't notice me limping behind them.

00:15:43Didn't notice that every step cost me something.

00:15:48We drove to Fiona's estate.

00:15:51Security guards, a staff of five, a house that looked like a hotel.

00:16:09When we pulled up, Fiona stepped in front of the door.

00:16:14Hold on.

00:16:17I have a thing about germs.

00:16:19You need to clean up before you come inside.

00:16:21Someone who's been in prison for a decade needs a proper scrub before setting foot in my house.

00:16:27I understood exactly what she was doing.

00:16:30The temperature was somewhere below 20.

00:16:33A cold shower outside would kill me.

00:16:36I smiled.

00:16:38Politely.

00:16:39That's fine.

00:16:40I don't need to come in.

00:16:41Fiona's eyes sharpened.

00:16:42She thought I was trying to make her look bad.

00:16:45Don't play victim with me.

00:16:47You scrubbed down in cold water every day in there, didn't you?

00:16:50I looked at Miles.

00:16:52He met my eyes with something that might have been apology.

00:16:55Then he said,

00:16:55She's a little spoiled.

00:16:57It's just a shower.

00:16:58Can you just go along with it?

00:17:00I went still.

00:17:01The man standing in front of me was not the Miles I grew up with.

00:17:05Then I won't come in.

00:17:06I said,

00:17:07Thank you for the offer.

00:17:09I turned to go.

00:17:10His voice stopped me.

00:17:12Are you seriously still holding a grudge?

00:17:14I said I'd make it up to you.

00:17:16What more do you want?

00:17:17I turned back.

00:17:18Did I kill someone?

00:17:20Did I put you in prison for 10 years?

00:17:23Did I invite myself into your house?

00:17:25Three questions.

00:17:26His face went red.

00:17:28You're coming inside.

00:17:29And you're doing it clean.

00:17:32The staff came out with a pressure hose.

00:17:35The water hit me like a wall of ice.

00:17:38I curled into myself,

00:17:40arms wrapped around my chest,

00:17:41shaking so hard my teeth rattled.

00:17:43My spring jacket went so clean seconds.

00:17:46I lifted my head.

00:17:47There you go.

00:17:48I took care of it.

00:17:49Stop being mad.

00:17:50You're too pretty to make that face.

00:17:52She pressed herself against him and kissed him

00:17:54and right there on the steps,

00:17:55like I wasn't on my knees in the ice water 10 feet away.

00:17:58I stopped fighting.

00:17:59I let the water hit me.

00:18:01A night years ago, also snowing,

00:18:04Miles and I huddled under a highway overpass,

00:18:07one rotting blanket between us.

00:18:08This is the last cold winter we'll ever have, Jade.

00:18:11I swear.

00:18:12I will never let you freeze again.

00:18:14I had believed him completely.

00:18:17But he had forgotten completely now.

00:18:20Eventually, Fiona clapped her hands.

00:18:22All right.

00:18:23That's enough.

00:18:24You're clean.

00:18:24Come inside.

00:18:26I was soaking wet and shaking

00:18:28when my body went forward instead of upright.

00:18:36I woke up three days later.

00:18:40Miles was talking to the house doctor.

00:18:45When he saw my eyes open,

00:18:47he came to the bed quickly.

00:18:49Jade, I'm sorry.

00:18:51I didn't know your body was this bad.

00:18:52Is anything still hurting?

00:18:53I shook my head.

00:18:54He waited.

00:18:55I didn't say anything.

00:18:58Finally, he asked, quietly,

00:19:00Your leg.

00:19:01Why are you...

00:19:02How did that happen?

00:19:03I looked at the ceiling.

00:19:04The block leader in my unit.

00:19:06I wouldn't hand over the money I earned doing labor.

00:19:10So they broke my ankle to teach me a lesson.

00:19:14After that, they decided that was boring.

00:19:17So they stopped letting me eat.

00:19:18Whatever food I got, they took.

00:19:21Then that got boring too.

00:19:22So they held me down and force-fed me scalding food straight from the pot.

00:19:26Silence.

00:19:28Why didn't you tell me yesterday?

00:19:30His voice came out strange.

00:19:32Tight.

00:19:33I used to, I said.

00:19:37The first time they hit me, I screamed your name.

00:19:41Miles.

00:19:41Help me.

00:19:42Miles, come get me.

00:19:44Then I figured out it didn't work.

00:19:47Eventually, you stopped calling for someone who isn't coming.

00:19:49He grabbed my hand.

00:19:50His was shaking.

00:19:52I'm getting you the best, doctors.

00:19:53You're going to get better.

00:19:55I'll give you back everything I took from you.

00:19:56Stay here while you recover.

00:19:58I'll have someone with you around the clock.

00:20:00When you're well, I'll feel better about you leaving.

00:20:02I gave him a small smile.

00:20:05Okay.

00:20:07He was going to be disappointed.

00:20:10I wouldn't live long enough for any of that.

00:20:13Rest.

00:20:15I'll check on you later.

00:20:17Then walked out fast, like the room was on fire.

00:20:21That afternoon, he transferred the deed on a house in the Soberds into my name

00:20:25and put ten million dollars in a new bank account.

00:20:29He started to say something else, but seemed to lose it.

00:20:33You're old things.

00:20:34Everything's in here.

00:20:36Do you have to be this formal with me?

00:20:38I know I didn't-

00:20:39Miles?

00:20:40Dinner.

00:20:41I didn't want to go.

00:20:42I physically couldn't eat anymore.

00:20:44The cancer made sure of that.

00:20:45But Fiona said she'd cooked specifically for me to help me get my strength back, and I had to come

00:20:50down.

00:20:50So I did.

00:20:51I took one sip of the soup.

00:20:54My esophagus felt like it caught fire.

00:20:58I set down my spoon.

00:21:00Thank you for making this, Fiona.

00:21:02It's really good.

00:21:03I'm full.

00:21:05Are you doing this on purpose?

00:21:07You had one sip.

00:21:09I cooked for three hours.

00:21:11You're finishing every bite.

00:21:16The smell of the food alone had my stomach turning.

00:21:20I'm not well, I said.

00:21:22My face had gone white.

00:21:23I genuinely can't.

00:21:24Because I scared you into the hospital last week, I made this as an apology.

00:21:29And you can't even give me the decency of eating it.

00:21:32I should have saved myself the trouble.

00:21:34The housekeeper piped up from the corner.

00:21:36She burned her hands making it.

00:21:38Got blisters.

00:21:39Some people don't know how to appreciate kindness.

00:21:42Ungrateful.

00:21:43Without looking up, he said.

00:21:45Jade, don't cause a scene.

00:21:46She put in the effort.

00:21:47Just finish it.

00:21:49I laughed before I could stop myself.

00:21:51Then I pressed the laugh down and said, quietly,

00:21:54Miles, I have ethophical cancer.

00:21:56Stage four.

00:21:58I can't eat.

00:22:01And now you're cursing yourself?

00:22:02You're going to die next, I assume?

00:22:06It's one meal, Jade.

00:22:08Stop being dramatic.

00:22:17She is the real killer!

00:22:20You have been arrested.

00:22:22I was imprisoned for ten years for intentional homicide.

00:22:27Ten years of being screamed at, beaten, bullied,

00:22:30my uterus damaged from the beatings,

00:22:33my ankle shattered.

00:22:35The only thing that kept me alive

00:22:37was one question I needed to ask my boyfriend, Miles.

00:22:42Why?

00:22:44Miles had been my knight,

00:22:46my loyal, unwavering protector.

00:22:48Junior year of high school,

00:22:49a girl tried to bully me.

00:22:51The next day,

00:22:52her naked photos were plastered across the school's main screen

00:22:55for everyone to see.

00:22:57She never recovered.

00:22:58Senior year,

00:22:59an older guy wanted me and slipped something into my drink.

00:23:03Miles put him in the hospital.

00:23:06Partial paralysis.

00:23:08He never walked right again.

00:23:12After that,

00:23:13anyone who hurt me got hurt back.

00:23:15Because he'd made a promise

00:23:16in the front of my parents' graves

00:23:18when I was ten years old.

00:23:20Mr. and Mrs. Gratian,

00:23:21I swear I'll protect Jade for the rest of my life.

00:23:23He kept that promise

00:23:24from the time I was ten

00:23:26until I was nineteen.

00:23:28Miles was like my shadow.

00:23:31Wherever I was,

00:23:32he was behind me.

00:23:34Until I turned nineteen,

00:23:36Miles fell in love with someone else.

00:23:40She was loud and dazzling

00:23:42and nothing like anyone we'd ever known.

00:23:46Prove to me you're completely crazy about me

00:23:49and I'll be yours.

00:23:52So Miles drove a knife into her fiancé.

00:23:55Again and again,

00:23:56the man bled out.

00:23:59When the police arrived,

00:24:00Miles pressed the knife into my hand.

00:24:02Then he pointed at me.

00:24:05As they dragged me away,

00:24:06the last thing I heard him say was,

00:24:08I'm sorry.

00:24:11The day I got out,

00:24:12it snowed so hard I could barely see.

00:24:15I stood at the prison gates

00:24:17feeling like I'd stepped out of a different century.

00:24:21But I recognized him instantly.

00:24:32Jade,

00:24:35I came to take you home.

00:24:38Ten years had stripped every trace

00:24:40of the boy he used to be.

00:24:42He looked composed,

00:24:44polished.

00:24:44Miles.

00:24:45My voice came out quiet.

00:24:47No anger in it.

00:24:48I didn't have the energy for anger.

00:24:49Why?

00:24:50My parents had died because of him,

00:24:52murdered by his family's enemies.

00:24:54He'd taken my ten-year-old hand

00:24:56and we'd run together.

00:24:57We slept under highway overspants.

00:24:59We fought rats for scraps of food.

00:25:02On the coldest nights,

00:25:03we held each other

00:25:03and shook until morning.

00:25:05He worked three jobs

00:25:06to put me through school.

00:25:08Worked himself

00:25:09until he coughed up blood.

00:25:10I cried when I saw it.

00:25:13He just wiped his mouth

00:25:14and said,

00:25:16I'm done for, Jade.

00:25:17But you're not.

00:25:18You've got something better

00:25:19ahead of you.

00:25:20I never understood

00:25:22why someone who was basically

00:25:23my family

00:25:24would hand me a murder weapon

00:25:25and watch me get arrested.

00:25:27For a woman he'd known

00:25:28five minutes.

00:25:35I'm sorry, Jade.

00:25:36I was out of my mind

00:25:37over Fiona.

00:25:38I'd never met anyone like her.

00:25:40Everything she did,

00:25:41every look,

00:25:42every word,

00:25:42it got under my skin.

00:25:44She said if I went to prison,

00:25:45she'd end up with someone else.

00:25:46I couldn't risk it.

00:25:47I knew you'd get hurt.

00:25:49But I couldn't lose her.

00:25:51He said that while

00:25:52pulling Fiona closer.

00:25:56I was just talking

00:25:57when I said that.

00:25:58I didn't think he'd actually

00:25:59stabbed Marcus.

00:26:00But the second he did,

00:26:02I was gone for him.

00:26:05Don't feel too bad.

00:26:07Miles left you a house

00:26:09and ten million dollars.

00:26:10How many people would kill

00:26:11for that kind of payout?

00:26:13Literally.

00:26:14Her voice had the easy confidence

00:26:16of someone giving

00:26:17a homeless person

00:26:18spare change.

00:26:19None of it mattered to me.

00:26:20Not the money.

00:26:21Not the house.

00:26:22I had a fascicle cancer.

00:26:24Stage four.

00:26:25One month left, maybe.

00:26:28Okay.

00:26:30It's freezing out here, Jade.

00:26:32Get in the car.

00:26:34Miles turned and walked

00:26:35toward the house with Fiona,

00:26:37laughing at something she said.

00:26:43He didn't notice me

00:26:44limping behind them.

00:26:46Didn't notice that every step

00:26:47cost me something.

00:26:51We drove to Fiona's estate.

00:26:53Security guards,

00:26:54a staff of five,

00:26:56a house that looked

00:26:57like a hotel.

00:26:58Everything Miles and I

00:26:59used to dream about

00:27:00from under our overpass.

00:27:01He'd gotten all of it.

00:27:03He'd gotten every single

00:27:05thing we imagined.

00:27:07And I'd gotten ten years

00:27:08of concrete floors

00:27:10and iron bars.

00:27:11When we pulled up,

00:27:13Fiona stepped in front

00:27:14of the door.

00:27:17Hold on.

00:27:20I have a thing about germs.

00:27:22You need to clean up

00:27:23before you come inside.

00:27:24Someone who's been

00:27:25in prison for a decade

00:27:26needs a proper scrub

00:27:27before setting foot

00:27:28in my house.

00:27:29I understood exactly

00:27:31what she was doing.

00:27:32The temperature was

00:27:33somewhere below 20.

00:27:35A cold shower outside

00:27:37would kill me.

00:27:39I smiled, politely.

00:27:41That's fine.

00:27:42I don't need to come in.

00:27:43Fiona's eyes sharpened.

00:27:45She thought I was trying

00:27:46to make her look bad.

00:27:48Don't play victim with me.

00:27:49You scrubbed down

00:27:50in cold water

00:27:51every day in there,

00:27:52didn't you?

00:27:53I looked at Miles.

00:27:54He met my eyes

00:27:55with something

00:27:55that might have been

00:27:56an apology.

00:27:57Then he said,

00:27:58She's a little spoiled.

00:27:59It's just a shower.

00:28:00Can you just go along

00:28:01with it?

00:28:02I went still.

00:28:03The man standing

00:28:04in front of me

00:28:05was not the Miles

00:28:06I grew up with.

00:28:07Then I won't come in.

00:28:09I said,

00:28:10Thank you for the offer.

00:28:11I turned to go.

00:28:12His voice stopped me.

00:28:14Are you seriously

00:28:15still holding a grudge?

00:28:16I said I'd make it up to you.

00:28:18What more do you want?

00:28:19I turned back.

00:28:21Did I kill someone?

00:28:22Did I put you in prison

00:28:24for 10 years?

00:28:25Did I invite myself

00:28:26into your house?

00:28:27Three questions.

00:28:29His face went red.

00:28:31You're coming inside.

00:28:32And you're doing it clean.

00:28:34The staff came out

00:28:35with a pressure hose.

00:28:38The water hit me

00:28:39like a wall of ice.

00:28:41I curled into myself,

00:28:42arms wrapped around my chest,

00:28:44shaking so hard

00:28:45my teeth rattled.

00:28:46My spring jacket

00:28:47went soaked through

00:28:48in seconds.

00:28:48I lifted my head.

00:28:50There you go.

00:28:50I took care of it.

00:28:52Stop being mad.

00:28:53You're too pretty

00:28:53to make that face.

00:28:54She pressed herself

00:28:55against him

00:28:56and kissed him

00:28:56right there on the steps,

00:28:57like I wasn't on my knees

00:28:59in the ice water

00:29:0010 feet away.

00:29:00I stopped fighting.

00:29:02I let the water hit me.

00:29:04A night years ago,

00:29:05also snowing,

00:29:07Miles and I huddled

00:29:08under a highway overpass,

00:29:09one rotting blanket

00:29:10between us.

00:29:11This is the last cold winter

00:29:12we'll ever have, Jade.

00:29:14I swear.

00:29:15I will never let you

00:29:16freeze again.

00:29:17I had believed him

00:29:18completely.

00:29:19But he had forgotten

00:29:20completely now.

00:29:22Eventually,

00:29:23Fiona clapped her hands.

00:29:24All right.

00:29:25That's enough.

00:29:26You're clean.

00:29:27Come inside.

00:29:28I was soaking wet

00:29:30and shaking

00:29:30when my body

00:29:31went forward

00:29:32instead of upright.

00:29:39I woke up

00:29:40three days later.

00:29:43Miles was talking

00:29:44to the house doctor.

00:29:47When he saw

00:29:48my eyes open,

00:29:49he came to the bed

00:29:50quickly.

00:29:52Jade, I'm sorry.

00:29:53I didn't know

00:29:54your body was this bad.

00:29:55Is anything still hurting?

00:29:56I shook my head.

00:29:57He waited.

00:29:58I didn't say anything.

00:30:00Finally,

00:30:01he asked,

00:30:01quietly,

00:30:02Your leg.

00:30:04Why are you...

00:30:04How did that happen?

00:30:05I looked at the ceiling,

00:30:06the block leader

00:30:07in my unit.

00:30:08I wouldn't hand over

00:30:09the money I earned

00:30:10doing labor.

00:30:12So they broke

00:30:13by my ankle

00:30:14to teach me a lesson.

00:30:17After that,

00:30:18they decided

00:30:18that was boring,

00:30:19so they stopped

00:30:20letting me eat.

00:30:21Whatever food I got,

00:30:22they took.

00:30:22Then that got boring

00:30:24too,

00:30:25so they held me down

00:30:26and force-fed me

00:30:27scalding food

00:30:27straight from the pot.

00:30:29Silence.

00:30:30Why didn't you

00:30:31tell me yesterday?

00:30:32His voice came out

00:30:33strange,

00:30:34tight.

00:30:36I used to,

00:30:37I said.

00:30:40The first time

00:30:41they hit me,

00:30:42I screamed your name.

00:30:43Miles,

00:30:44help me,

00:30:45Miles,

00:30:45come get me.

00:30:46Then I figured out

00:30:47it didn't work.

00:30:49Eventually,

00:30:50you stopped calling

00:30:50for someone

00:30:51who isn't coming.

00:30:52He grabbed my hand.

00:30:53His was shaking.

00:30:54I'm getting you

00:30:54the best doctors.

00:30:56You're going to get better.

00:30:57I'll give you back

00:30:58everything I took from you.

00:30:59Stay here while you recover.

00:31:00I'll have someone with you

00:31:01around the clock.

00:31:02When you're well,

00:31:03I'll feel better

00:31:03about you leaving.

00:31:05I gave him a small smile.

00:31:07Okay.

00:31:10He was going to be

00:31:11disappointed.

00:31:12I wouldn't live long enough

00:31:14for any of that.

00:31:16Rest.

00:31:17I'll check on you later.

00:31:19Then walked out fast,

00:31:21like the room was on fire.

00:31:23That afternoon,

00:31:24he transferred the deed

00:31:25on a house in the Soberds

00:31:27into my name

00:31:27and put $10 million

00:31:29in a new bank account.

00:31:32He started to say

00:31:32something else,

00:31:33but seemed to lose it.

00:31:35Your old things.

00:31:37Everything's in here.

00:31:38Do you have to be

00:31:39this formal with me?

00:31:41I know I didn't...

00:31:41Miles?

00:31:42Dinner.

00:31:43I didn't want to go.

00:31:45I physically couldn't

00:31:45eat anymore.

00:31:46The cancer made sure of that.

00:31:48But Fiona said

00:31:49she'd cooked specifically

00:31:50for me to help me

00:31:51get my strength back

00:31:51and I had to come down.

00:31:53So I did.

00:31:54I took one sip

00:31:55of the soup.

00:31:57My esophagus

00:31:58felt like it caught fire.

00:32:00I set down my spoon.

00:32:02Thank you for making this, Fiona.

00:32:04It's really good.

00:32:05I'm full.

00:32:08Are you doing this on purpose?

00:32:10You had one sip.

00:32:12I cooked for three hours.

00:32:13You're finishing every bite.

00:32:18The smell of the food alone

00:32:20had my stomach turning.

00:32:23I'm not well,

00:32:24I said.

00:32:24My face had gone white.

00:32:26I genuinely can't.

00:32:27Because I scared you

00:32:28into the hospital last week,

00:32:29I made this as an apology.

00:32:31And you can't even give me

00:32:32the decency of eating it.

00:32:34I should have saved myself

00:32:35the trouble.

00:32:36The housekeeper piped up

00:32:37from the corner.

00:32:38She burned her hands

00:32:39making it.

00:32:40Got blisters.

00:32:41Some people don't know

00:32:42how to appreciate kindness.

00:32:44Ungrateful.

00:32:45Without looking up,

00:32:47he said.

00:32:47Jade, don't cause a scene.

00:32:48You should put in the effort.

00:32:50Just finish it.

00:32:51I laughed before

00:32:52I could stop myself.

00:32:53Then I pressed the laugh down

00:32:55and said quietly,

00:32:56Miles,

00:32:57I have ethophical cancer.

00:32:59Stage four.

00:33:00I can't eat.

00:33:03And now you're cursing yourself?

00:33:05You're going to die next,

00:33:06I assume?

00:33:08It's one meal, Jade.

00:33:10Stop being dramatic.

00:33:20She is the real killer!

00:33:22You have been arrested.

00:33:25I was imprisoned for ten years

00:33:27for intentional homicide.

00:33:29Ten years of being screamed at,

00:33:32beaten, bullied,

00:33:33my uterus damaged from the beatings,

00:33:35my ankle shattered.

00:33:37The only thing that kept me alive

00:33:39was one question

00:33:40I needed to ask

00:33:41my boyfriend, Miles.

00:33:44Why?

00:33:46Miles had been my knight,

00:33:48my loyal, unwavering protector.

00:33:50Junior year of high school,

00:33:52a girl tried to bully me.

00:33:53The next day,

00:33:54her naked photos

00:33:55were plastered across

00:33:56the school's main screen

00:33:58for everyone to see.

00:33:59She never recovered.

00:34:01Senior year,

00:34:02an older guy wanted me

00:34:03and slipped something

00:34:04into my drink.

00:34:06Miles put him in the hospital.

00:34:08Partial paralysis.

00:34:11He never walked right again.

00:34:15After that,

00:34:16anyone who hurt me

00:34:16got hurt back

00:34:17because he'd made a promise

00:34:19in the front of my parents' graves

00:34:20when I was ten years old.

00:34:22Mr. and Mrs. Gratian,

00:34:23I swear I'll protect Jade

00:34:24for the rest of my life.

00:34:26He kept that promise

00:34:27from the time I was ten

00:34:28until I was nineteen.

00:34:31Miles was like my shadow.

00:34:33Wherever I was,

00:34:34he was behind me.

00:34:36Until I turned nineteen,

00:34:39Miles fell in love

00:34:39with someone else.

00:34:42She was loud and dazzling

00:34:44and nothing like anyone

00:34:45we'd ever known.

00:34:48Prove to me

00:34:49you're completely crazy about me

00:34:51and I'll be yours.

00:34:55So Miles drove a knife

00:34:56into her fiancé.

00:34:58Again and again,

00:34:59the man bled out.

00:35:01When the police arrived,

00:35:03Miles pressed the knife

00:35:04into my hand.

00:35:05Then he pointed at me.

00:35:07As they dragged me away,

00:35:09the last thing I heard him say was,

00:35:11I'm sorry.

00:35:13The day I got out,

00:35:15it snowed so hard

00:35:16I could barely see.

00:35:18I stood at the prison gates

00:35:20feeling like I'd stepped out

00:35:21of a different century.

00:35:23But I recognized him instantly.

00:35:35Jade,

00:35:37I came to take you home.

00:35:41Ten years had stripped

00:35:42every trace of the boy

00:35:43he used to be.

00:35:44He looked composed,

00:35:46polished.

00:35:47Miles.

00:35:48My voice came out quiet.

00:35:49No anger in it.

00:35:50I didn't have the energy

00:35:51for anger.

00:35:52Why?

00:35:53My parents had died

00:35:54because of him,

00:35:55murdered by his family's enemies.

00:35:57He'd taken my ten-year-old hand

00:35:58and we'd run together.

00:36:00We slept under highway overspants.

00:36:02We fought rats

00:36:03for scraps of food.

00:36:04On the coldest nights,

00:36:05we held each other

00:36:06and shook until morning.

00:36:07He worked three jobs

00:36:09to put me through school.

00:36:11Worked himself

00:36:12until he coughed up blood.

00:36:13I cried when I saw it.

00:36:15He just wiped his mouth

00:36:16and said,

00:36:18I'm done for, Jade.

00:36:20But you're not.

00:36:21You've got something

00:36:22better ahead of you.

00:36:23I never understood

00:36:24why someone who was

00:36:25basically my family

00:36:26would hand me a murder weapon

00:36:27and watch me get arrested.

00:36:29For a woman he'd known

00:36:30five minutes.

00:36:37I'm sorry, Jade.

00:36:39I was out of my mind

00:36:40over Fiona.

00:36:41I'd never met anyone like her.

00:36:43Everything she did,

00:36:44every look,

00:36:44every word,

00:36:45it got under my skin.

00:36:46She said if I went to prison,

00:36:47she'd end up with someone else.

00:36:49I couldn't risk it.

00:36:50I knew you'd get hurt.

00:36:51But I couldn't lose her.

00:36:53He said that while

00:36:54pulling Fiona closer.

00:36:58I was just talking

00:36:59when I said that.

00:37:00I didn't think he'd actually

00:37:01stabbed Marcus.

00:37:03But the second he did,

00:37:05I was gone for him.

00:37:08Don't feel too bad.

00:37:10Miles left you a house

00:37:11and ten million dollars.

00:37:13How many people would kill

00:37:14for that kind of payout?

00:37:15literally.

00:37:17Her voice had the easy confidence

00:37:18of someone giving

00:37:19a homeless person

00:37:20spare change.

00:37:21None of it mattered to me.

00:37:23Not the money.

00:37:23Not the house.

00:37:24I had a fascicle cancer.

00:37:26Stage four.

00:37:28One month left,

00:37:29maybe.

00:37:31Okay.

00:37:33It's freezing out here, Jade.

00:37:35Get in the car.

00:37:37Miles turned and walked

00:37:38toward the house with Fiona,

00:37:39laughing at something

00:37:40she said.

00:37:45He didn't notice me

00:37:47limping behind them.

00:37:48Didn't notice that every step

00:37:50cost me something.

00:37:53We drove to Fiona's estate.

00:37:56Security guards,

00:37:57a staff of five,

00:37:58a house that looked like a hotel.

00:38:01Everything Miles and I used to dream about

00:38:02from under our overpass.

00:38:04He'd gotten all of it.

00:38:05He'd gotten every single thing

00:38:07we imagined.

00:38:09And I'd gotten ten years

00:38:11of concrete floors

00:38:12and iron bars.

00:38:14When we pulled up,

00:38:15Fiona stepped in front of the door.

00:38:19Hold on.

00:38:22I have a thing about germs.

00:38:24You need to clean up

00:38:25before you come inside.

00:38:26Someone who's been in prison

00:38:27for a decade

00:38:28needs a proper scrub

00:38:29before setting foot

00:38:31in my house.

00:38:32I understood exactly

00:38:33what she was doing.

00:38:35The temperature was

00:38:36somewhere below 20.

00:38:38A cold shower outside

00:38:39would kill me.

00:38:41I smiled,

00:38:42politely.

00:38:44That's fine.

00:38:45I don't need to come in.

00:38:46Fiona's eyes sharpened.

00:38:47She thought I was trying

00:38:48to make her look bad.

00:38:50Don't play victim with me.

00:38:52You scrubbed down

00:38:53in cold water

00:38:54every day in there,

00:38:55didn't you?

00:38:55I looked at Miles.

00:38:56He met my eyes

00:38:57with something

00:38:58that might have been apology.

00:39:00Then he said,

00:39:01She's a little spoiled.

00:39:02It's just a shower.

00:39:03Can you just go along with it?

00:39:04I went still.

00:39:06The man standing in front of me

00:39:07was not the Miles

00:39:08I grew up with.

00:39:10Then I won't come in.

00:39:11I said,

00:39:12Thank you for the offer.

00:39:14I turned to go.

00:39:15His voice stopped me.

00:39:17Are you seriously

00:39:17still holding a grudge?

00:39:19I said I'd make it up to you.

00:39:20What more do you want?

00:39:22I turned back.

00:39:23Did I kill someone?

00:39:25Did I put you in prison

00:39:26for 10 years?

00:39:27Did I invite myself

00:39:29into your house?

00:39:30Three questions.

00:39:31His face went red.

00:39:33You're coming inside.

00:39:34And you're doing it clean.

00:39:37The staff came out

00:39:38with a pressure hose.

00:39:40The water hit me

00:39:41like a wall of ice.

00:39:43I curled into myself,

00:39:45arms wrapped around my chest,

00:39:46shaking so hard

00:39:47my teeth rattled.

00:39:48My spring jacket

00:39:49went soaked through

00:39:50in seconds.

00:39:51I lifted my head.

00:39:52There you go.

00:39:53I took care of it.

00:39:54Stop being mad.

00:39:55You're too pretty

00:39:56to make that face.

00:39:56She pressed herself

00:39:57against him

00:39:58and kissed him

00:39:59right there on the steps

00:40:00like I wasn't on my knees

00:40:01in the ice water

00:40:0210 feet away.

00:40:03I stopped fighting.

00:40:05I let the water hit me.

00:40:06A night years ago,

00:40:08also snowing,

00:40:09Miles and I huddled

00:40:10under a highway overpass,

00:40:12one rotting blanket

00:40:13between us.

00:40:13This is the last cold winter

00:40:15we'll ever have, Jade.

00:40:16I swear.

00:40:17I will never let you

00:40:18freeze again.

00:40:19I had believed him

00:40:20completely.

00:40:22But he had forgotten

00:40:23completely now.

00:40:24Eventually,

00:40:25Fiona clapped her hands.

00:40:27All right.

00:40:28That's enough.

00:40:29You're clean.

00:40:29Come inside.

00:40:31I was soaking

00:40:32wet and shaking

00:40:33when my body

00:40:34went forward

00:40:34instead of upright.

00:40:41I woke up

00:40:42three days later.

00:40:45Miles was talking

00:40:46to the house doctor.

00:40:50When he saw

00:40:51my eyes open,

00:40:52he came to the bed

00:40:53quickly.

00:40:54Jade, I'm sorry.

00:40:56I didn't know

00:40:56your body was this bad.

00:40:57Is anything still hurting?

00:40:58I shook my head.

00:40:59He waited.

00:41:00I didn't say anything.

00:41:03Finally,

00:41:03he asked,

00:41:04quietly,

00:41:05Your leg.

00:41:06Why are you,

00:41:07how did that happen?

00:41:08I looked at the ceiling,

00:41:09the block leader

00:41:09in my unit.

00:41:11I wouldn't hand over

00:41:12the money I earned

00:41:13doing labor.

00:41:15So they broke

00:41:15by my ankle

00:41:16to teach me a lesson.

00:41:19After that,

00:41:20they decided

00:41:21that was boring,

00:41:22so they stopped

00:41:22letting me eat.

00:41:23Whatever food I got,

00:41:24they took.

00:41:25Then that got boring too,

00:41:27so they held me down

00:41:28and force-fed me

00:41:29scalding food

00:41:30straight from the pot.

00:41:31Silence.

00:41:33Why didn't you

00:41:33tell me yesterday?

00:41:34His voice came out

00:41:36strange,

00:41:37tight.

00:41:38I used to,

00:41:39I said.

00:41:42The first time

00:41:43they hit me,

00:41:44I screamed your name.

00:41:46Miles,

00:41:46help me,

00:41:47Miles,

00:41:47come get me.

00:41:49Then I figured out

00:41:50it didn't work.

00:41:51Eventually,

00:41:52you stopped calling

00:41:53for someone

00:41:53who isn't coming.

00:41:54He grabbed my hand.

00:41:55His was shaking.

00:41:56I'm getting you

00:41:57the best doctors.

00:41:58You're going to get better.

00:42:00I'll give you back

00:42:00everything I took from you.

00:42:01Stay here while you recover.

00:42:02I'll have someone

00:42:03with you around the clock.

00:42:05When you're well,

00:42:05I'll feel better

00:42:06about you leaving.

00:42:07I gave him a small smile.

00:42:10Okay.

00:42:12He was going to be disappointed.

00:42:15I wouldn't live long enough

00:42:16for any of that.

00:42:18Rest.

00:42:20I'll check on you later.

00:42:22Then walked out fast,

00:42:23like the room was on fire.

00:42:26That afternoon,

00:42:27he transferred the deed

00:42:28on a house in the Soberds

00:42:29into my name

00:42:30and put $10 million

00:42:31in a new bank account.

00:42:34He started to say

00:42:35something else

00:42:36but seemed to lose it.

00:42:38You're old things.

00:42:39Everything's in here.

00:42:41Do you have to be

00:42:42this formal with me?

00:42:43I know I didn't...

00:42:44Miles?

00:42:45Dinner.

00:42:46I didn't want to go.

00:42:47I physically

00:42:47couldn't eat anymore.

00:42:49The cancer made sure of that.

00:42:50But Fiona said

00:42:51she'd cooked

00:42:52specifically for me

00:42:53to help me get

00:42:53my strength back

00:42:54and I had to come down.

00:42:55So I did.

00:42:56I took one sip of the soup.

00:42:59My esophagus felt

00:43:01like it caught fire.

00:43:03I set down my spoon.

00:43:05Thank you for making this,

00:43:06Fiona.

00:43:07It's really good.

00:43:08I'm full.

00:43:10Are you doing this on purpose?

00:43:12You had one sip.

00:43:14I cooked for three hours.

00:43:15You're finishing every bite.

00:43:21The smell of the food alone

00:43:22had my stomach turning.

00:43:25I'm not well,

00:43:26I said.

00:43:27My face had gone white.

00:43:28I genuinely can't.

00:43:29Because I scared you

00:43:30into the hospital last week,

00:43:32I made this as an apology.

00:43:33And you can't even give me

00:43:35the decency of eating it.

00:43:36I should have saved myself

00:43:38the trouble.

00:43:38The housekeeper piped up

00:43:40from the corner.

00:43:41She burned her hands

00:43:42making it.

00:43:42Got blisters.

00:43:43Some people don't know

00:43:44how to appreciate kindness.

00:43:47Ungrateful.

00:43:48Without looking up,

00:43:49he said.

00:43:50Jade, don't cause a scene.

00:43:51She put in the effort.

00:43:52Just finish it.

00:43:54I laughed before

00:43:55I could stop myself.

00:43:56Then I pressed the laugh down

00:43:57and said, quietly,

00:43:59Miles,

00:43:59I have ethophical cancer.

00:44:01Stage four.

00:44:02I can't eat.

00:44:05And now you're cursing yourself?

00:44:07You're going to die next,

00:44:09I assume?

00:44:11It's one meal, Jade.

00:44:13Stop being dramatic.

00:44:22She is the real killer!

00:44:24You have been arrested.

00:44:27I was in prison for ten years

00:44:30for intentional homicide.

00:44:32Ten years of being screamed at,

00:44:34beaten, bullied,

00:44:35my uterus damaged from the beatings,

00:44:38my ankle shattered.

00:44:40The only thing that kept me alive

00:44:42was one question

00:44:42I needed to ask

00:44:43my boyfriend, Miles.

00:44:47Why?

00:44:49Miles had been my knight,

00:44:51my loyal,

00:44:51unwavering protector.

00:44:53Junior year of high school,

00:44:54a girl tried to bully me.

00:44:56The next day,

00:44:57her naked photos

00:44:58were plastered across

00:44:59the school's main screen

00:45:00for everyone to see.

00:45:02She never recovered.

00:45:03Senior year,

00:45:04an older guy wanted me

00:45:05and slipped something

00:45:06into my drink.

00:45:08Miles put him in the hospital.

00:45:11Partial paralysis.

00:45:13He never walked right again.

00:45:17After that,

00:45:18anyone who hurt me

00:45:19got hurt back

00:45:20because he'd made a promise

00:45:21in the front of my parents' graves

00:45:23when I was ten years old.

00:45:24Mr. and Mrs. Gratian,

00:45:26I swear I'll protect Jade

00:45:27for the rest of my life.

00:45:28He kept that promise

00:45:29from the time I was ten

00:45:31until I was nineteen.

00:45:33Miles was like my shadow.

00:45:36Wherever I was,

00:45:37he was behind me.

00:45:39Until I turned nineteen,

00:45:41Miles fell in love

00:45:42with someone else.

00:45:45She was loud and dazzling

00:45:47and nothing like anyone

00:45:48we'd ever known.

00:45:51Prove to me

00:45:52you're completely crazy about me

00:45:54and I'll be yours.

00:45:57So Miles drove a knife

00:45:59into her fiancé.

00:46:00Again and again,

00:46:01the man bled out.

00:46:04When the police arrived,

00:46:05Miles pressed the knife

00:46:06into my hand.

00:46:07Then he pointed at me.

00:46:10As they dragged me away,

00:46:11the last thing

00:46:12I heard him say was,

00:46:13I'm sorry.

00:46:16The day I got out,

00:46:17it snowed so hard

00:46:19I could barely see.

00:46:20I stood at the prison gates

00:46:22feeling like I'd stepped out

00:46:23of a different century.

00:46:26But I recognized him instantly.

00:46:37Jade.

00:46:39I came to take you home.

00:46:43Ten years had stripped

00:46:44every trace of the boy

00:46:46he used to be.

00:46:47He looked composed,

00:46:49polished.

00:46:49Miles.

00:46:50My voice came out quiet.

00:46:52No anger in it.

00:46:53I didn't have the energy

00:46:54for anger.

00:46:55Why?

00:46:55My parents had died

00:46:56because of him,

00:46:57murdered by his family's enemies.

00:46:59He'd taken my ten-year-old hand

00:47:01and we'd run together.

00:47:02We slept under

00:47:03highway overspants.

00:47:04We fought rats

00:47:05for scraps of food.

00:47:06On the coldest nights

00:47:07on the coldest nights,

00:47:08we held each other

00:47:08and shook until morning.

00:47:10He worked three jobs

00:47:11to put me through school.

00:47:13Worked himself

00:47:14until he coughed up blood.

00:47:16I cried when I saw it.

00:47:18He just wiped his mouth

00:47:19and said,

00:47:21I'm done for, Jade.

00:47:22But you're not.

00:47:23You've got something

00:47:24better ahead of you.

00:47:25I never understood

00:47:27why someone who was

00:47:28basically my family

00:47:29would hand me

00:47:29a murder weapon

00:47:30and watch me get arrested.

00:47:32For a woman

00:47:32he'd known five minutes.

00:47:40I'm sorry, Jade.

00:47:41I was out of my mind

00:47:42over Fiona.

00:47:43I'd never met anyone like her.

00:47:45Everything she did,

00:47:46every look,

00:47:47every word,

00:47:47it got under my skin.

00:47:49She said if I went to prison

00:47:50she'd end up with someone else.

00:47:51I couldn't risk it.

00:47:52I knew you'd get hurt.

00:47:54But I couldn't lose her.

00:47:56He said that while

00:47:57pulling Fiona closer.

00:48:01I was just talking

00:48:02when I said that.

00:48:03I didn't think he'd actually

00:48:04stabbed Marcus.

00:48:05But the second he did,

00:48:07I was gone for him.

00:48:10Don't feel too bad.

00:48:12Miles left you a house

00:48:13and ten million dollars.

00:48:15How many people would kill

00:48:16for that kind of payout?

00:48:18Literally.

00:48:19Her voice had the easy confidence

00:48:21of someone giving

00:48:22a homeless person's fair change.

00:48:24None of it mattered to me.

00:48:25Not the money.

00:48:26Not the house.

00:48:27I had a fascicle cancer.

00:48:29Stage four.

00:48:30One month left, maybe.

00:48:33Okay.

00:48:35It's freezing out here, Jade.

00:48:37Get in the car.

00:48:39Miles turned and walked

00:48:40toward the house with Fiona,

00:48:42laughing at something she said.

00:48:48He didn't notice me

00:48:49limping behind them.

00:48:51Didn't notice that every step

00:48:52cost me something.

00:48:55We drove to Fiona's estate.

00:48:58Security guards,

00:48:59a staff of five,

00:49:01a house that looked

00:49:01like a hotel.

00:49:03Everything Miles and I

00:49:04used to dream about

00:49:05from under our overpass.

00:49:06He'd gotten all of it.

00:49:08He'd gotten every single thing

00:49:10we imagined.

00:49:12And I'd gotten ten years

00:49:13of concrete floors

00:49:15and iron bars.

00:49:16When we pulled up,

00:49:18Fiona stepped in front

00:49:18of the door.

00:49:22Hold on.

00:49:25I have a thing about germs.

00:49:27You need to clean up

00:49:27before you come inside.

00:49:29Someone who's been in prison

00:49:30for a decade

00:49:31needs a proper scrub

00:49:32before setting foot

00:49:33in my house.

00:49:34I understood exactly

00:49:36what she was doing.

00:49:37The temperature

00:49:38was somewhere below 20.

00:49:40A cold shower outside

00:49:42would kill me.

00:49:44I smiled,

00:49:45politely.

00:49:46That's fine.

00:49:47I don't need to come in.

00:49:48Fiona's eyes sharpened.

00:49:50She thought I was trying

00:49:51to make her look bad.

00:49:53Don't play victim with me.

00:49:54You scrubbed down

00:49:55in cold water

00:49:56every day in there,

00:49:57didn't you?

00:49:58I looked at Miles.

00:49:59He met my eyes

00:50:00with something

00:50:00that might have been apology.

00:50:02Then he said,

00:50:03She's a little spoiled.

00:50:04It's just a shower.

00:50:05Can you just go along with it?

00:50:07I went still.

00:50:08The man standing

00:50:09in front of me

00:50:10was not the Miles

00:50:10I grew up with.

00:50:12Then I won't come in.

00:50:14I said,

00:50:15Thank you for the offer.

00:50:16I turned to go.

00:50:18His voice stopped me.

00:50:19Are you seriously

00:50:20still holding a grudge?

00:50:22I said I'd make it up to you.

00:50:23What more do you want?

00:50:24I turned back.

00:50:26Did I kill someone?

00:50:27Did I put you

00:50:28in prison for ten years?

00:50:30Did I invite myself

00:50:31into your house?

00:50:32Three questions.

00:50:34His face went red.

00:50:36You're coming inside

00:50:36and you're doing it clean.

00:50:39The staff came out

00:50:40with a pressure hose.

00:50:43The water hit me

00:50:44like a wall of ice.

00:50:46I curled into myself,

00:50:47arms wrapped around my chest,

00:50:49shaking so hard

00:50:50my teeth rattled.

00:50:51My spring jacket

00:50:52went soaked through

00:50:52in seconds.

00:50:53I lifted my head.

00:50:55There you go.

00:50:55I took care of it.

00:50:56Stop being mad.

00:50:57You're too pretty

00:50:58to make that face.

00:50:59She pressed herself

00:51:00against him

00:51:00and kissed him

00:51:01and right there

00:51:02on the steps

00:51:02like I wasn't

00:51:03on my knees

00:51:04in the ice water

00:51:04ten feet away.

00:51:06I stopped fighting.

00:51:07I let the water

00:51:08hit me.

00:51:09A night years ago,

00:51:10also snowing,

00:51:12Miles and I

00:51:12huddled under

00:51:13a highway overpass,

00:51:14one rotting blanket

00:51:15between us.

00:51:16This is the last

00:51:17cold winter

00:51:17we'll ever have, Jade.

00:51:19I swear,

00:51:20I will never

00:51:20let you freeze again.

00:51:21I had believed

00:51:23him completely.

00:51:24But he had forgotten

00:51:25completely now.

00:51:27Eventually,

00:51:27Fiona clapped her hands.

00:51:29All right.

00:51:30That's enough.

00:51:31You're clean.

00:51:32Come inside.

00:51:33I was soaking wet

00:51:35and shaking

00:51:35when my body

00:51:36went forward

00:51:37instead of upright.

00:51:43I woke up

00:51:44three days later.

00:51:47Miles was talking

00:51:48to the house doctor.

00:51:52When he saw

00:51:53my eyes open,

00:51:54he came to the bed

00:51:55quickly.

00:51:57Jade, I'm sorry.

00:51:58I didn't know

00:51:58your body was this bad.

00:52:00Is anything still hurting?

00:52:01I shook my head.

00:52:02He waited.

00:52:03I didn't say anything.

00:52:05Finally,

00:52:06he asked,

00:52:06quietly,

00:52:07your leg.

00:52:09Why are you,

00:52:09how did that happen?

00:52:10I looked at the ceiling,

00:52:11the block leader

00:52:12in my unit.

00:52:13I wouldn't hand over

00:52:14the money I earned

00:52:15doing labor.

00:52:17So they broke

00:52:18by my ankle

00:52:19to teach me a lesson.

00:52:22After that,

00:52:23they decided

00:52:23that was boring,

00:52:24so they stopped

00:52:25letting me eat.

00:52:26Whatever food I got,

00:52:27they took.

00:52:28Then that got boring too,

00:52:29so they held me down

00:52:31and force-fed me

00:52:32scalding food

00:52:32straight from the pot.

00:52:34Silence.

00:52:35Why didn't you

00:52:36tell me yesterday?

00:52:36His voice came out

00:52:38strange,

00:52:39tight.

00:52:41I used to,

00:52:42I said.

00:52:45The first time

00:52:46they hit me,

00:52:46I screamed your name.

00:52:48Miles,

00:52:49help me,

00:52:50Miles,

00:52:50come get me.

00:52:51Then I figured out

00:52:52it didn't work.

00:52:54Eventually,

00:52:54you stopped calling

00:52:55for someone

00:52:56who isn't coming.

00:52:57He grabbed my hand.

00:52:58His was shaking.

00:52:59I'm getting you

00:52:59the best doctors.

00:53:01You're going to get better.

00:53:02I'll give you back

00:53:02everything I took from you.

00:53:04Stay here while you recover.

00:53:05I'll have someone with you

00:53:06around the clock.

00:53:07When you're well,

00:53:08I'll feel better

00:53:08about you leaving.

00:53:10I gave him a small smile.

00:53:12Okay.

00:53:15He was going to be disappointed.

00:53:17I wouldn't live long enough

00:53:18for any of that.

00:53:21Rest.

00:53:22I'll check on you later.

00:53:24Then walked out fast,

00:53:26like the room was on fire.

00:53:28That afternoon,

00:53:29he transferred the deed

00:53:30on a house in the Soberds

00:53:32into my name

00:53:32and put ten million dollars

00:53:34in a new bank account.

00:53:37He started to say something else,

00:53:38but seemed to lose it.

00:53:40You're old things.

00:53:41Everything's in here.

00:53:43Do you have to be this formal with me?

00:53:45I know I didn't-

00:53:46Miles?

00:53:47Dinner.

00:53:48I didn't want to go.

00:53:49I physically couldn't eat anymore.

00:53:51The cancer made sure of that.

00:53:53But Fiona said

00:53:54she'd cooked specifically for me

00:53:55to help me get my strength back

00:53:56and I had to come down.

00:53:58So I did.

00:53:59I took one sip of the soup.

00:54:02My esophagus felt like it caught fire.

00:54:05I set down my spoon.

00:54:07Thank you for making this, Fiona.

00:54:09It's really good.

00:54:10I'm full.

00:54:13Are you doing this on purpose?

00:54:15You had one sip.

00:54:16I cooked for three hours.

00:54:18You're finishing every bite.

00:54:23The smell of the food alone

00:54:25had my stomach turning.

00:54:27I'm not well, I said.

00:54:29My face had gone white.

00:54:31I genuinely can't.

00:54:32Because I scared you

00:54:33into the hospital last week,

00:54:34I made this as an apology.

00:54:36And you can't even give me

00:54:37the decency of eating it.

00:54:39I should have saved myself the trouble.

00:54:41The housekeeper piped up

00:54:42from the corner.

00:54:43She burned her hands making it.

00:54:45Got blisters.

00:54:46Some people don't know

00:54:47how to appreciate kindness.

00:54:49Ungrateful.

00:54:50Without looking up,

00:54:52he said,

00:54:52Jade, don't cause a scene.

00:54:53You should put in the effort.

00:54:55Just finish it.

00:54:56I laughed before

00:54:57I could stop myself.

00:54:58Then I pressed the laugh down

00:55:00and said quietly,

00:55:01Miles,

00:55:02I have ethophical cancer.

00:55:04Stage four.

00:55:05I can't eat.

00:55:08And now you're cursing yourself?

00:55:10You're going to die next,

00:55:11I assume?

00:55:14It's one meal, Jade.

00:55:15Stop being dramatic.

00:55:25She is the real killer!

00:55:27You have been arrested.

00:55:30I was in prison for ten years

00:55:32for intentional homicide.

00:55:34Ten years of being screamed at,

00:55:37beaten,

00:55:37bullied,

00:55:38my uterus damaged

00:55:39from the beatings,

00:55:40my ankle shattered.

00:55:42The only thing that kept me alive

00:55:44was one question

00:55:45I needed to ask

00:55:46my boyfriend, Miles.

00:55:49Why?

00:55:51Miles had been my knight,

00:55:53my loyal,

00:55:54unwavering protector.

00:55:55Junior year of high school,

00:55:57a girl tried to bully me.

00:55:58The next day,

00:55:59her naked photos

00:56:00were plastered across

00:56:01the school's main screen

00:56:02for everyone to see.

00:56:04She never recovered.

00:56:05Senior year,

00:56:07an older guy wanted me

00:56:08and slipped something

00:56:09into my drink.

00:56:11Miles put him in the hospital.

00:56:13Partial paralysis.

00:56:16He never walked right again.

00:56:20After that,

00:56:21anyone who hurt me

00:56:21got hurt back

00:56:22because he'd made a promise

00:56:24in the front of my parents' graves

00:56:25when I was ten years old.

00:56:27Mr. and Mrs. Gratian,

00:56:28I swear I'll protect Jade

00:56:29for the rest of my life.

00:56:30He kept that promise

00:56:32from the time I was ten

00:56:33until I was nineteen.

00:56:36Miles was like my shadow.

00:56:38Wherever I was,

00:56:39he was behind me.

00:56:41Until I turned nineteen,

00:56:43Miles fell in love

00:56:44with someone else.

00:56:47She was loud

00:56:49and dazzling

00:56:49and nothing like

00:56:50anyone we'd ever known.

00:56:53Prove to me

00:56:54you're completely crazy

00:56:56about me

00:56:56and I'll be yours.

00:57:00So Miles drove a knife

00:57:01into her fiancé.

00:57:02Again and again,

00:57:04the man bled out.

00:57:06When the police arrived,

00:57:08Miles pressed the knife

00:57:09into my hand.

00:57:10Then he pointed at me.

00:57:12As they dragged me away,

00:57:14the last thing

00:57:15I heard him say was

00:57:16I'm sorry.

00:57:18The day I got out,

00:57:20it snowed so hard

00:57:21I could barely see.

00:57:23I stood at the prison gates

00:57:24feeling like I'd stepped out

00:57:26of a different century.

00:57:28But I recognized him instantly.

00:57:40Jade.

00:57:42I came to take you home.

00:57:46Ten years had stripped

00:57:47every trace of the boy

00:57:48he used to be.

00:57:49He looked composed,

00:57:51polished.

00:57:52Miles.

00:57:53My voice came out quiet.

00:57:54No anger in it.

00:57:55I didn't have the energy

00:57:56for anger.

00:57:57Why?

00:57:58My parents had died

00:57:59because of him,

00:58:00murdered by his family's enemies.

00:58:02He'd taken my ten-year-old hand

00:58:03and we'd run together.

00:58:04We slept under

00:58:05highway overspants.

00:58:07We fought rats

00:58:08for scraps of food.

00:58:09On the coldest nights,

00:58:10we held each other

00:58:11and shook until morning.

00:58:12He worked three jobs

00:58:14to put me through school.

00:58:16Worked himself

00:58:17until he coughed up blood.

00:58:18I cried when I saw it.

00:58:20He just wiped his mouth

00:58:21and said,

00:58:23I'm done for Jade.

00:58:25But you're not.

00:58:26You've got something

00:58:27better ahead of you.

00:58:28I never understood

00:58:29why someone

00:58:30who was basically my family

00:58:31would hand me

00:58:32a murder weapon

00:58:32and watch me get arrested.

00:58:34For a woman

00:58:35he'd known five minutes.

00:58:42I'm sorry, Jade.

00:58:44I was out of my mind

00:58:45over Fiona.

00:58:46I'd never met anyone like her.

00:58:48Everything she did,

00:58:49every look,

00:58:49every word,

00:58:50it got under my skin.

00:58:51She said if I went to prison

00:58:52she'd end up

00:58:53with someone else.

00:58:54I couldn't risk it.

00:58:55I knew you'd get hurt.

00:58:56But I couldn't lose her.

00:58:58He said that while

00:58:59pulling Fiona closer.

00:59:03I was just talking

00:59:04when I said that.

00:59:05I didn't think

00:59:06he'd actually

00:59:06stabbed Marcus.

00:59:08But the second he did,

00:59:10I was gone for him.

00:59:12Don't feel too bad.

00:59:15Miles left you a house

00:59:16and ten million dollars.

00:59:18How many people

00:59:18would kill

00:59:19for that kind of payout?

00:59:20Literally.

00:59:22Her voice had the easy confidence

00:59:23of someone giving

00:59:24a homeless person

00:59:25spare change.

00:59:26None of it mattered to me.

00:59:27Not the money.

00:59:28Not the house.

00:59:29I had a fascicle cancer.

00:59:31Stage four.

00:59:33One month left, maybe.

00:59:36Okay.

00:59:38It's freezing out here, Jade.

00:59:39Get in the car.

00:59:42Miles turned

00:59:42and walked toward the house

00:59:43with Fiona,

00:59:44laughing at something

00:59:45she said.

00:59:50He didn't notice me

00:59:52limping behind them.

00:59:53Didn't notice that every step

00:59:55cost me something.

00:59:58We drove to Fiona's estate.

01:00:00Security guards,

01:00:02a staff of five,

01:00:03a house that looked

01:00:04like a hotel.

01:00:05Everything Miles and I

01:00:07used to dream about

01:00:07from under our overpass.

01:00:09He'd gotten all of it.

01:00:11He'd gotten every single thing

01:00:12we imagined.

01:00:14And I'd gotten ten years

01:00:16of concrete floors

01:00:17and iron bars.

01:00:18When we pulled up,

01:00:20Fiona stepped in front

01:00:21of the door.

01:00:24Hold on.

01:00:27I have a thing about germs.

01:00:29You need to clean up

01:00:30before you come inside.

01:00:31Someone who's been in prison

01:00:32for a decade

01:00:33needs a proper scrub

01:00:34before setting foot

01:00:36in my house.

01:00:37I understood exactly

01:00:38what she was doing.

01:00:40The temperature

01:00:40was somewhere below 20.

01:00:43A cold shower outside

01:00:44would kill me.

01:00:46I smiled.

01:00:48Politely.

01:00:49That's fine.

01:00:50I don't need to come in.

01:00:51Fiona's eyes sharpened.

01:00:52She thought I was trying

01:00:53to make her look bad.

01:00:55Don't play victim with me.

01:00:57You scrubbed down

01:00:58in cold water

01:00:59every day in there,

01:00:59didn't you?

01:01:00I looked at Miles.

01:01:01He met my eyes

01:01:02with something

01:01:03that might have been apology.

01:01:04Then he said,

01:01:05She's a little spoiled.

01:01:07It's just a shower.

01:01:08Can you just go along with it?

01:01:09I went still.

01:01:10The man standing

01:01:12in front of me

01:01:12was not the Miles

01:01:13I grew up with.

01:01:15Then I won't come in.

01:01:16I said,

01:01:17Thank you for the offer.

01:01:19I turned to go.

01:01:20His voice stopped me.

01:01:22Are you seriously

01:01:22still holding a grudge?

01:01:24I said I'd make it up to you.

01:01:25What more do you want?

01:01:26I turned back.

01:01:28Did I kill someone?

01:01:29Did I put you in prison

01:01:31for ten years?

01:01:32Did I invite myself

01:01:33into your house?

01:01:35Three questions.

01:01:36His face went red.

01:01:38You're coming inside

01:01:39and you're doing it clean.

01:01:42The staff came out

01:01:43with a pressure hose.

01:01:45The water hit me

01:01:46like a wall of ice.

01:01:48I curled into myself,

01:01:50arms wrapped around my chest,

01:01:51shaking so hard

01:01:52my teeth rattled.

01:01:53My spring jacket

01:01:54went soaked through

01:01:55in seconds.

01:01:56I lifted my head.

01:01:57There you go.

01:01:58I took care of it.

01:01:59Stop being mad.

01:02:00You're too pretty

01:02:00to make that face.

01:02:01She pressed herself

01:02:02against him

01:02:03and kissed him

01:02:04and right there

01:02:04on the steps

01:02:05like I wasn't on my knees

01:02:06in the ice water

01:02:07ten feet away.

01:02:08I stopped fighting.

01:02:09I let the water hit me.

01:02:11A night years ago,

01:02:13also snowing,

01:02:14Miles and I huddled

01:02:15under a highway overpass,

01:02:17one rotting blanket

01:02:17between us.

01:02:18This is the last

01:02:19cold winter

01:02:20we'll ever have, Jade.

01:02:21I swear.

01:02:22I will never

01:02:23let you freeze again.

01:02:24I had believed him

01:02:25completely,

01:02:27but he had forgotten

01:02:28completely now.

01:02:29Eventually,

01:02:30Fiona clapped her hands.

01:02:32All right.

01:02:33That's enough.

01:02:34You're clean.

01:02:34Come inside.

01:02:36I was soaking wet

01:02:37and shaking

01:02:38when my body

01:02:39went forward

01:02:39instead of upright.

01:02:46I woke up

01:02:47three days later.

01:02:50Miles was talking

01:02:51to the house doctor.

01:02:55When he saw

01:02:56my eyes open,

01:02:57he came to the bed

01:02:58quickly.

01:02:59Jade, I'm sorry.

01:03:01I didn't know

01:03:01your body was this bad.

01:03:02Is anything still hurting?

01:03:03I shook my head.

01:03:04He waited.

01:03:05I didn't say anything.

01:03:08Finally,

01:03:08he asked,

01:03:09quietly,

01:03:10Your leg.

01:03:11Why are you...

01:03:12How did that happen?

01:03:12I looked at the ceiling.

01:03:14The block leader

01:03:14in my unit.

01:03:16I wouldn't hand over

01:03:17the money I earned

01:03:18doing labor.

01:03:19So they broke

01:03:20my ankle

01:03:21to teach me a lesson.

01:03:24After that,

01:03:25they decided

01:03:26that was boring,

01:03:26so they stopped

01:03:27letting me eat.

01:03:28Whatever food I got,

01:03:29they took.

01:03:30Then that got boring too,

01:03:32so they held me down

01:03:33and force-fed me

01:03:34scalding food

01:03:35straight from the pot.

01:03:36Silence.

01:03:37Why didn't you

01:03:38tell me yesterday?

01:03:39His voice came out

01:03:41strange,

01:03:42tight.

01:03:43I used to,

01:03:44I said.

01:03:47The first time

01:03:48they hit me,

01:03:49I screamed your name.

01:03:50Miles.

01:03:51Help me.

01:03:52Miles,

01:03:52come get me.

01:03:54Then I figured out

01:03:55it didn't work.

01:03:56Eventually,

01:03:57you stopped calling

01:03:57for someone

01:03:58who isn't coming.

01:03:59He grabbed my hand.

01:04:00His was shaking.

01:04:01I'm getting you

01:04:02the best doctors.

01:04:03You're going to get better.

01:04:04I'll give you back

01:04:05everything I took from you.

01:04:06Stay here while you recover.

01:04:07I'll have someone with you

01:04:08around the clock.

01:04:09When you're well,

01:04:10I'll feel better

01:04:11about you leaving.

01:04:12I gave him

01:04:13a small smile.

01:04:15Okay.

01:04:17He was going

01:04:18to be disappointed.

01:04:20I wouldn't live

01:04:21long enough

01:04:21for any of that.

01:04:23Rest.

01:04:25I'll check on you later.

01:04:27Then walked out fast,

01:04:28like the room

01:04:29was on fire.

01:04:30That afternoon,

01:04:32he transferred

01:04:32the deed on a house

01:04:33in the Soberds

01:04:34into my name

01:04:35and put ten million dollars

01:04:36in a new bank account.

01:04:39He started to say

01:04:40something else,

01:04:41but seemed to lose it.

01:04:42You're old things.

01:04:44Everything's in here.

01:04:46Do you have to be

01:04:47this formal with me?

01:04:48I know I didn't...

01:04:48Miles?

01:04:50Dinner.

01:04:51I didn't want to go.

01:04:52I physically

01:04:52couldn't eat anymore.

01:04:54The cancer made sure

01:04:55of that.

01:04:55But Fiona said

01:04:56she'd cooked specifically

01:04:57for me to help me

01:04:58get my strength back

01:04:59and I had to come down.

01:05:00So I did.

01:05:01I took one sip

01:05:02of the soup.

01:05:04My esophagus

01:05:05felt like it caught fire.

01:05:08I set down my spoon.

01:05:10Thank you for making this,

01:05:11Fiona.

01:05:12It's really good.

01:05:13I'm full.

01:05:15Are you doing this

01:05:16on purpose?

01:05:17You had one sip.

01:05:19I cooked for three hours.

01:05:20You're finishing

01:05:21every bite.

01:05:26The smell of the food alone

01:05:27had my stomach turning.

01:05:30I'm not well,

01:05:31I said.

01:05:32My face had gone white.

01:05:33I genuinely can't.

01:05:34Because I scared you

01:05:35into the hospital last week,

01:05:36I made this as an apology.

01:05:38And you can't even give me

01:05:40the decency of eating it.

01:05:41I should have saved myself

01:05:43the trouble.

01:05:43The housekeeper piped up

01:05:45from the corner.

01:05:46She burned her hands

01:05:47making it.

01:05:47Got blisters.

01:05:48Some people don't know

01:05:49how to appreciate kindness.

01:05:52ungrateful.

01:05:52Without looking up,

01:05:54he said,

01:05:55Jade, don't cause a scene.

01:05:56You should put in the effort.

01:05:57Just finish it.

01:05:59I laughed before

01:06:00I could stop myself.

01:06:01Then I pressed the laugh down

01:06:02and said quietly,

01:06:04Miles,

01:06:04I have ethophical cancer.

01:06:07Stage four.

01:06:07I can't eat.

01:06:10And now you're cursing yourself?

01:06:12You're going to die next,

01:06:14I assume?

01:06:16It's one meal, Jade.

01:06:18Stop being dramatic.

01:06:27She is the real killer!

01:06:29You have been arrested.

01:06:32I was in prison for ten years

01:06:34for intentional homicide.

01:06:37Ten years of being screamed at,

01:06:39beaten, bullied,

01:06:40my uterus damaged from the beatings,

01:06:42my ankle shattered.

01:06:45The only thing that kept me alive

01:06:46was one question

01:06:47I needed to ask

01:06:48my boyfriend, Miles.

01:06:51Why?

01:06:54Miles had been my knight,

01:06:55my loyal,

01:06:56unwavering protector.

01:06:58Junior year of high school,

01:06:59a girl tried to bully me.

01:07:01The next day,

01:07:02her naked photos

01:07:03were plastered across

01:07:04the school's main screen

01:07:05for everyone to see.

01:07:07She never recovered.

01:07:08Senior year,

01:07:09an older guy wanted me

01:07:10and slipped something

01:07:11into my drink.

01:07:13Miles put him in the hospital.

01:07:16Partial paralysis.

01:07:18He never walked right again.

01:07:22After that,

01:07:23anyone who hurt me

01:07:24got hurt back

01:07:25because he'd made a promise

01:07:26in the front of my parents' graves

01:07:28when I was ten years old.

01:07:29Mr. and Mrs. Gratian,

01:07:31I swear I'll protect Jade

01:07:32for the rest of my life.

01:07:33He kept that promise

01:07:34from the time I was ten

01:07:36until I was nineteen.

01:07:38Miles was like my shadow.

01:07:40Wherever I was,

01:07:42he was behind me.

01:07:44Until I turned nineteen,

01:07:46Miles fell in love

01:07:47with someone else.

01:07:50She was loud and dazzling

01:07:52and nothing like anyone

01:07:53we'd ever known.

01:07:56Prove to me

01:07:57you're completely crazy about me

01:07:59and I'll be yours.

01:08:02So Miles drove a knife

01:08:04into her fiancé.

01:08:05Again and again,

01:08:06the man bled out.

01:08:09When the police arrived,

01:08:10Miles pressed the knife

01:08:11into my hand.

01:08:12Then he pointed at me.

01:08:14As they dragged me away,

01:08:16the last thing

01:08:17I heard him say was,

01:08:18I'm sorry.

01:08:21The day I got out,

01:08:22it snowed so hard

01:08:24I could barely see.

01:08:25I stood at the prison gates

01:08:27feeling like I'd stepped out

01:08:28of a different century.

01:08:31but I recognized him

01:08:32instantly.

01:08:42Jade.

01:08:44I came to take you home.

01:08:48Ten years had stripped

01:08:49every trace of the boy

01:08:50he used to be.

01:08:52He looked composed,

01:08:53polished.

01:08:54Miles.

01:08:55My voice came out quiet.

01:08:57No anger in it.

01:08:58I didn't have the energy

01:08:59for anger.

01:09:00Why?

01:09:00My parents had died

01:09:01because of him,

01:09:02murdered by his family's enemies.

01:09:04He'd taken my ten-year-old hand

01:09:06and we'd run together.

01:09:07We slept under

01:09:08highway overspance.

01:09:09We fought rats

01:09:10for scraps of food.

01:09:11On the coldest nights,

01:09:12we held each other

01:09:13and shook until morning.

01:09:15He worked three jobs

01:09:16to put me through school.

01:09:18Worked himself

01:09:19until he coughed up blood.

01:09:20I cried when I saw it.

01:09:23He just wiped his mouth

01:09:24and said,

01:09:26I'm done for, Jade.

01:09:27But you're not.

01:09:28You've got something

01:09:29better ahead of you.

01:09:30I never understood

01:09:32why someone who was

01:09:33basically my family

01:09:34would hand me a murder weapon

01:09:35and watch me get arrested.

01:09:37For a woman he'd known

01:09:38five minutes.

01:09:45I'm sorry, Jade.

01:09:46I was out of my mind

01:09:47over Fiona.

01:09:48I'd never met anyone like her.

01:09:50Everything she did,

01:09:51every look,

01:09:52every word,

01:09:52it got under my skin.

01:09:54She said if I went to prison,

01:09:55she'd end up with someone else.

01:09:56I couldn't risk it.

01:09:57I knew you'd get hurt.

01:09:59But I couldn't lose her.

01:10:01He said that while

01:10:02pulling Fiona closer.

01:10:05I was just talking

01:10:07when I said that.

01:10:08I didn't think

01:10:08he'd actually stabbed Marcus.

01:10:10But the second he did,

01:10:12I was gone for him.

01:10:15Don't feel too bad.

01:10:17Miles left you a house

01:10:18and ten million dollars.

01:10:20How many people would kill

01:10:21for that kind of payout?

01:10:23Literally.

01:10:24Her voice had the easy confidence

01:10:26of someone giving

01:10:27a homeless person

01:10:27spare change.

01:10:29None of it mattered to me.

01:10:30Not the money.

01:10:31Not the house.

01:10:32I had a fascicle cancer.

01:10:34Stage four.

01:10:35One month left, maybe.

01:10:40It's freezing out here, Jade.

01:10:42Get in the car.

01:10:45Miles turned and walked

01:10:45toward the house with Fiona,

01:10:47laughing at something she said.

01:10:53He didn't notice me

01:10:54limping behind them.

01:10:56Didn't notice that every step

01:10:57cost me something.

01:11:00We drove to Fiona's estate.

01:11:03Security guards,

01:11:04a staff of five,

01:11:06a house that looked like a hotel.

01:11:08Everything Miles and I used to dream about

01:11:10from under our overpass.

01:11:11He'd gotten all of it.

01:11:13He'd gotten every single thing

01:11:15we imagined.

01:11:17And I'd gotten ten years

01:11:18of concrete floors

01:11:19and iron bars.

01:11:21When we pulled up,

01:11:22Fiona stepped in front of the door.

01:11:27Hold on.

01:11:30I have a thing about germs.

01:11:32You need to clean up

01:11:32before you come inside.

01:11:34Someone who's been in prison

01:11:35for a decade

01:11:36needs a proper scrub

01:11:37before setting foot

01:11:38in my house.

01:11:39I understood exactly

01:11:41what she was doing.

01:11:42The temperature was

01:11:43somewhere below 20.

01:11:45A cold shower outside

01:11:47would kill me.

01:11:49I smiled, politely.

01:11:51That's fine.

01:11:52I don't need to come in.

01:11:53Fiona's eyes sharpened.

01:11:55She thought I was trying

01:11:56to make her look bad.

01:11:57Don't play victim with me.

01:11:59You scrubbed down in cold water

01:12:01every day in there,

01:12:02didn't you?

01:12:02I looked at Miles.

01:12:04He met my eyes

01:12:05with something

01:12:05that might have been apology.

01:12:07Then he said,

01:12:08She's a little spoiled.

01:12:09It's just a shower.

01:12:10Can you just go along with it?

01:12:12I went still.

01:12:13The man standing in front of me

01:12:15was not the Miles

01:12:15I grew up with.

01:12:17Then I won't come in.

01:12:19I said,

01:12:19thank you for the offer.

01:12:21I turned to go.

01:12:22His voice stopped me.

01:12:24Are you seriously

01:12:25still holding a grudge?

01:12:26I said I'd make it up to you.

01:12:28What more do you want?

01:12:29I turned back.

01:12:31Did I kill someone?

01:12:32Did I put you in prison

01:12:34for 10 years?

01:12:35Did I invite myself

01:12:36into your house?

01:12:37Three questions.

01:12:38His face went red.

01:12:40You're coming inside

01:12:41and you're doing it clean.

01:12:44The staff came out

01:12:45with a pressure hose.

01:12:48The water hit me

01:12:49like a wall of ice.

01:12:51I curled into myself,

01:12:52arms wrapped around my chest,

01:12:54shaking so hard

01:12:54my teeth rattled.

01:12:55My spring jacket

01:12:57went soaked through

01:12:57in seconds.

01:12:58I lifted my head.

01:13:00There you go.

01:13:00I took care of it.

01:13:01Stop being mad.

01:13:02You're too pretty

01:13:03to make that face.

01:13:04She pressed herself

01:13:05against him

01:13:05and kissed him

01:13:06and right there

01:13:07on the steps

01:13:07like I wasn't on my knees

01:13:09in the ice water

01:13:0910 feet away.

01:13:10I stopped fighting.

01:13:12I let the water hit me.

01:13:14A night years ago,

01:13:15also snowing,

01:13:17Miles and I huddled

01:13:17under a highway overpass,

01:13:19one rotting blanket

01:13:20between us.

01:13:21This is the last cold winter

01:13:22we'll ever have, Jade.

01:13:23I swear.

01:13:24I will never let you freeze again.

01:13:27I had believed him completely.

01:13:29But he had forgotten

01:13:30completely now.

01:13:32Eventually, Fiona

01:13:33clapped her hands.

01:13:34All right.

01:13:35That's enough.

01:13:36You're clean.

01:13:37Come inside.

01:13:38I was soaking wet

01:13:40and shaking

01:13:40when my body went forward

01:13:42instead of upright.

01:13:48I woke up

01:13:49three days later.

01:13:52Miles was talking

01:13:53to the house doctor.

01:13:57When he saw my eyes open,

01:13:59he came to the bed quickly.

01:14:02Jade, I'm sorry.

01:14:03I didn't know

01:14:03your body was this bad.

01:14:05Is anything still hurting?

01:14:06I shook my head.

01:14:07He waited.

01:14:08I didn't say anything.

01:14:10Finally, he asked,

01:14:11quietly,

01:14:12your leg.

01:14:14Why are you...

01:14:14How did that happen?

01:14:15I looked at the ceiling,

01:14:16the block leader in my unit.

01:14:18I wouldn't hand over

01:14:19the money I earned

01:14:20doing labor.

01:14:22So they broke my ankle

01:14:23to teach me a lesson.

01:14:27After that,

01:14:28they decided that was boring,

01:14:29so they stopped

01:14:30letting me eat.

01:14:31Whatever food I got,

01:14:32they took.

01:14:33Then that got boring too,

01:14:34so they held me down

01:14:35and force-fed me

01:14:36scalding food

01:14:37straight from the pot.

01:14:39Silence.

01:14:40Why didn't you

01:14:41tell me yesterday?

01:14:41His voice came out

01:14:43strange,

01:14:44tight.

01:14:46I used to,

01:14:47I said.

01:14:50The first time

01:14:51they hit me,

01:14:51I screamed your name.

01:14:53Miles,

01:14:54help me,

01:14:54Miles,

01:14:55come get me.

01:14:56Then I figured out

01:14:57it didn't work.

01:14:59Eventually,

01:14:59you stopped calling

01:15:00for someone

01:15:00who isn't coming.

01:15:02He grabbed my hand.

01:15:03His was shaking.

01:15:04I'm getting you

01:15:04the best doctors.

01:15:06You're going to get better.

01:15:07I'll give you back

01:15:07everything I took from you.

01:15:09Stay here while you recover.

01:15:10I'll have someone with you

01:15:11around the clock.

01:15:12When you're well,

01:15:13I'll feel better

01:15:13about you leaving.

01:15:15I gave him a small smile.

01:15:17Okay.

01:15:20He was going to be disappointed.

01:15:22I wouldn't live long enough

01:15:23for any of that.

01:15:26Rest.

01:15:27I'll check on you later.

01:15:29Then walked out fast,

01:15:31like the room was on fire.

01:15:33That afternoon,

01:15:34he transferred the deed

01:15:35on a house in the Soberds

01:15:36into my name

01:15:37and put ten million dollars

01:15:39in a new bank account.

01:15:41He started to say something else,

01:15:43but seemed to lose it.

01:15:45You're old things.

01:15:46Everything's in here.

01:15:48Do you have to be this formal with me?

01:15:50I know I didn't-

01:15:51Miles?

01:15:52Dinner.

01:15:53I didn't want to go.

01:15:54I physically couldn't eat anymore.

01:15:56The cancer made sure of that.

01:15:58But Fiona said

01:15:59she'd cooked specifically for me

01:16:00to help me get my strength back,

01:16:01and I had to come down.

01:16:02So I did.

01:16:04I took one sip of the soup.

01:16:07My esophagus felt like it caught fire.

01:16:10I set down my spoon.

01:16:12Thank you for making this, Fiona.

01:16:14It's really good.

01:16:15I'm full.

01:16:18Are you doing this on purpose?

01:16:20You had one sip.

01:16:21I cooked for three hours.

01:16:23You're finishing every bite.

01:16:28The smell of the food alone

01:16:30had my stomach turning.

01:16:32I'm not well, I said.

01:16:34My face had gone white.

01:16:35I genuinely can't.

01:16:37Because I scared you

01:16:38into the hospital last week,

01:16:39I made this as an apology.

01:16:41And you can't even give me

01:16:42the decency of eating it.

01:16:44I should have saved myself the trouble.

01:16:46The housekeeper piped up

01:16:47from the corner.

01:16:48She burned her hands making it.

01:16:50Got blisters.

01:16:50Some people don't know

01:16:52how to appreciate kindness.

01:16:54Ungrateful.

01:16:55Without looking up,

01:16:56he said,

01:16:57Jade, don't cause a scene.

01:16:58She put in the effort.

01:17:00Just finish it.

01:17:01I laughed before I could stop myself.

01:17:03Then I pressed the laugh down

01:17:05and said quietly,

01:17:06Miles,

01:17:07I have ethophical cancer.

01:17:09Stage four.

01:17:10I can't eat.

01:17:13And now you're cursing yourself?

01:17:15You're going to die next,

01:17:16I assume?

01:17:18It's one meal, Jade.

01:17:20Stop being dramatic.
