Grounded I signed my freedom while the captain held her hand

00:00The biopsy results are back. The mass is malignant. You have cancer.
00:04Cancer? Are you certain?
00:06Yes. We need to begin treatment as soon as possible.
00:09What about my baby?
00:10We'll build the treatment plan around keeping both of you safe.
00:13I was eight months pregnant, and I had cancer.
00:16Then I saw my husband guiding another woman through the prenatal wing.
00:19He handled her like precious cargo.
00:21I had walked into oncology alone. He had brought her to a routine appointment.
00:25I still have to practice on the simulator, so I can't hang out with you.
00:29He wasn't busy. He was devoted.
00:30He gave that devotion to Scarlett while I carried his child into an oncology office alone.
00:34He couldn't spare five minutes for his own family.
00:36Honey, if you're here with me, won't your wife be upset?
00:40She won't know. She's been acting up lately. Probably hormones.
00:45If she starts something and stresses you out, that's on her.
00:47He had already decided that whatever hurt me would still be my fault.
00:51But we can't hide forever. She's so far along. What if she sees us and loses control?
00:54There's nothing to be afraid of. I belong here. That baby is mine too.
00:57If my wife makes a scene, I'll file for divorce.
00:59Mrs. Miller, you're very lucky. Your husband comes to every appointment. Not many men do.
01:04He accepted the praise like he deserved an award for loving the wrong woman.
01:07I wasn't only being betrayed. I was being replaced.
01:10Then Scarlett looked straight at me and smiled like this was the moment she'd been waiting for.
01:15The betrayal didn't just break me. It rewired me.
01:19Dad, remember what you told me? I'm doing it. I'm taking the baby overseas.
01:26And my child will have my last name.
01:28About time you woke up. The Millers act untouchable because they own an airline.
01:32But you are not trapped there and you are not begging them for scraps.
01:36If you're miserable, leave.
01:38If you choose to raise that baby alone, I'll stand beside you.
01:41You're right. I'm done.
01:48I'm feeling nauseous. I'll wait here.
01:51Sit down. I'll be right back.
01:55You can come out now. You've been hiding there forever.
01:58Still haven't seen enough?
02:00She wanted to watch me fall apart. I refused to give her the landing.
02:03You're still pretending to be Mrs. Miller?
02:05Even after seeing who Elijah actually loves?
02:09That's bold coming from a woman who knew he was married.
02:11You're not his lost love, Scarlet. You're the mistress in the jump seat.
02:15I knew Elijah long before you did.
02:18If I hadn't gone overseas, you'd never have gotten near his ring.
02:22But I'm back now.
02:24And I'm carrying his child.
02:27It's time you gave back what was always mine.
02:32Give that back.
02:34Cancer? You're serious?
02:36Does Elijah even know?
02:38Do you think you'll live long enough to deliver?
02:40Or are you planning to take that baby down with you?
02:46Get away from her!
02:50He didn't ask what happened.
02:51He saw her on the floor and chose his side.
02:56Are you hurt? Is it the baby?
02:58Pain tore through my belly so fast I forgot how to breathe.
03:01What the hell is wrong with you?
03:03Don't fight with her because of me.
03:04Scarlet is pregnant.
03:06How could you do that to her?
03:07You were wrong.
03:09Apologize.
03:12Apologize?
03:13Do you even know what this is?
03:18Enough.
03:19I don't care what it is.
03:21What you did was cruel.
03:22How can you be so heartless to another pregnant woman?
03:25He wasn't confused.
03:26He had seen enough to choose.
03:28I'm not apologizing.
03:30You both owe me an apology.
03:32Scarlet's sobs followed me like applause.
03:35I kept walking.
03:41For one heartbeat, I thought he might come after me.
03:45Elisha, my stomach hurts.
03:48But she matters more.
03:49You should go after her, honey.
03:51Forget her.
03:52She's not leaving me.
03:52I'll deal with her later.
03:55She's eight months pregnant and still throwing tantrums.
03:58She has nowhere to go.
03:59And she sure as hell isn't divorcing me.
04:02He mistook my silence for surrender.
04:04He had no idea I'd already chosen a life without him.
04:08The house smelled like stale air and dead promises.
04:11We used to look like we could conquer the sky together.
04:15Then Scarlet came back.
04:16And every warm thing in our marriage leaked away.
04:20So I threw away the version of us that no longer existed.
04:24Then he brought her into our home like she was the wounded wife.
04:29Scarlet isn't well.
04:31You pushed her.
04:32I'm cleaning up your mess.
04:36If she's sick, take her to a hospital.
04:39Or did our living room become an ER?
04:42Watch your mouth.
04:43I'm dealing with what you caused.
04:45Scarlet is staying here.
04:47Don't twist this into something ugly.
04:49I'm only here to rest and keep the baby safe.
04:52This is our home.
04:53She is not moving in.
04:56One touch from her.
04:58And our home stopped being mine.
05:00Enough.
05:01You're pregnant too.
05:02How do you have no compassion?
05:03You started this.
05:04I need to keep an eye on her.
05:06If you can't handle Scarlet living here, you can leave.
05:11Fine.
05:13I'll go.
05:15Honey, don't fight with her because of me.
05:17She's so upset she even took down your wedding photo.
05:19Ignore her.
05:20She loves drama.
05:21Once she sees it doesn't work on me, she'll come back.
05:23He thought I was bluffing.
05:24He had no idea I'd rather walk into the dark alone than return to a captain who had abandoned his
05:29post.
05:37I went back inside for my things.
05:40Then I heard someone inside the nursery.
05:47She was stretched out like the room had always belonged to her.
05:52It's a beautiful room.
05:56Get out.
05:59What's wrong with you?
06:01You don't put your hands on her.
06:03You're giving her our baby's room?
06:05She likes it.
06:06Let her use it for now.
06:07You built this for our...
06:08Enough.
06:09The last few days you've been a disappointment.
06:12Keep acting like this and I'll reconsider this marriage.
06:15You don't want our child growing up without a father, do you?
06:17He used our child like a leash and waited for fear to pull me back.
06:21Everything in this room is for our baby.
06:23Our little aviator deserves the best.
06:25You're already spoiling someone who isn't even here yet.
06:28Every promise he'd made lost its color.
06:32Don't be scared.
06:36We don't need this room.
06:39Mom's going to give you better.
06:41Scarlet wasn't satisfied with taking the room.
06:43She wanted me to hear what she had taken with it.
06:45Try something small every two hours.
06:47I'll bring whatever you can keep down.
06:49You always know exactly what I need.
06:51Every meal he tested on me became something he perfected for her.
06:55Every gift was research.
06:56Even my baby's bedgery had been a rehearsal.
06:59I was the training ground.
07:01My child was the trial run.
07:02It's okay.
07:04We're leaving soon.
07:05I won't be anyone's practice wife again.
07:07The pain didn't disappear.
07:08It hardened into a plan.
07:10Elijah had used us as a rehearsal.
07:12He would never see our real life begin.
07:18Honey.
07:20I heard the Milla family prendant brings good luck.
07:23The baby keeps me awake.
07:26I'm exhausted.
07:28Could I wear it for a while?
07:29Just until the baby settles down?
07:32This belongs to my wife.
07:33There will never be another.
07:35Of course, honey.
07:39Wear it as long as you need.
07:42You heard that?
07:43For one second, guilt reached his face.
07:46She's pregnant.
07:47She hasn't been sleeping.
07:49Let her wear it for a while.
07:50She can have it.
07:53I knew you'd be reasonable.
07:55Don't get excited.
07:56You're going to do one thing for me first.
07:59The pendant no longer mattered.
08:01His signature did.
08:02I came back before my courage could change its mind.
08:07Sign this.
08:09Come on.
08:10Is this really necessary?
08:12You're upset.
08:13I get it.
08:14The moment the ink touched paper, my heartbeat steadied.
08:18There.
08:19Happy now?
08:22Buy whatever you want.
08:23I know I've neglected you.
08:24We'll fix it.
08:26He thought the papers were a bribe for my silence.
08:32After the baby's born, it comes back to you.
08:34I promise.
08:35She can wear it as long as she wants.
08:37He ran to her with my marriage in his hand.
08:40You actually got it!
08:43That was almost too easy.
08:45Tomorrow, I would leave for real.
08:47Tonight, I couldn't afford to break.
08:48The cabin sealed behind them.
08:50My solo flight had already begun.
08:58Okay, okay.
08:59Don't cry.
09:01When you cry, it messes me up.
09:03He didn't even try to be quiet.
09:04My sleep and my existence weren't worth the effort.
09:07I followed him barefoot.
09:11Elijah.
09:12Hey.
09:14I'm here.
09:16I can't sleep without you.
09:18I've got you.
09:19You're safe.
09:21Every time I close my eyes, I see everyone watching me get left behind.
09:24I wake up shaking.
09:25I'm scared.
09:26I'll protect you.
09:27I'm not leaving you alone tonight.
09:29The baby only settles when you're here.
09:31You're the only thing that works.
09:33I'm staying.
09:34I'm right here.
09:35He made the choice without knowing I was close enough to hear it.
09:38She'll be hurt.
09:40I don't want her blaming you because of me.
09:41She can take care of herself.
09:42You need me.
09:43My strength had become his favorite excuse for abandoning me.
09:47I walked away one step at a time, like a countdown reaching zero.
09:50I had known what they were doing.
09:52Hearing it made the betrayal real.
09:53Elijah never came back.
09:55I watched the empty side of the bed stay empty until dawn.
09:57By morning, he would still look at me like I was the problem.
10:00He didn't know I was already done being handled.
10:06By sunrise, I was packed.
10:08No screaming.
10:09No final scene.
10:11I was simply leaving.
10:15That's better.
10:16Thank you, honey.
10:17He gave her the patience I hadn't seen in months.
10:20I kept walking.
10:22Scarlet wasn't feeling well, so I made her some soup.
10:25It's just to settle her stomach.
10:30What do you think you're doing?
10:33Leaving.
10:34I make her one bowl of soup, and you turn it into an exit?
10:38You're being petty.
10:40Just soup?
10:42Check your neck before you try selling me that story, Captain.
10:45There were mosquitoes in the room.
10:46The lie was insulting.
10:48My silence frightened him more than an argument would have.
10:51Enough.
10:52I said mosquitoes.
10:53Stop acting jealous and crazy.
10:56Elijah, this is partly my fault.
10:58Let me apologize.
11:00Don't be angry.
11:01You can have mine.
11:03Back off.
11:05I'm trying to make peace.
11:12Elijah!
11:13It burns!
11:15Hey, I've got you.
11:17Let me see.
11:18She tried to be kind, and you attacked her.
11:21Elijah, stop!
11:22No.
11:23You're going to learn.
11:28The heat climbed through my hand and tore the scream out of me.
11:32That was a warning.
11:33Hurt her again, and you'll regret it.
11:35My baby kicked hard and fast, as if he could feel my fear.
11:39Are you scared of me?
11:42Elijah?
11:42Then something tore low in my belly, and warmth spread down my legs.
11:46Elijah?
11:48The baby.
11:49Don't use the baby to manipulate me.
11:51Right now, you and that child still don't matter as much as her.
11:55911, what's your emergency?
11:57I'm eight months pregnant.
11:58I'm bleeding.
11:59And I'm alone.
12:04The emergency lights cut through me before I could remember where I was.
12:09Get OB down here.
12:10Possible plastenial abduction.
12:12Her pressure's dropping.
12:13We need a doctor now.
12:14Amelia, stay with me.
12:16We're getting you to labor and delivery.
12:17Surgic 3 is your emergency contact.
12:19Can we call him?
12:22Once.
12:23Twice.
12:24Every unanswered ring closed another door.
12:27Do you have anyone else we should contact?
12:29No.
12:30I'll sign for myself.
12:32The minutes stretched.
12:33The pressure inside me kept building.
12:36Why are we still waiting?
12:38A Miller VIP redirected part of the on-call team.
12:41His pregnant girlfriend came in with a minor burn.
12:43This patient is hemorrhaging.
12:45Get the attending in here now.
12:47You pulled the whole on-call team team up here for me.
12:50Won't your wife be upset?
12:52Upset?
12:53Amelia doesn't have the nerve to leave me.
12:56She loves me too much.
12:58I could bring another woman home and she'd blame herself.
13:02Please, save my baby.
13:03Stay with me, Amelia.
13:05Keep listening to my voice.
13:08Her pressure's collapsing.
13:09Move now!
13:13Coming back felt like being dragged from the bottom of an icy ocean.
13:20My baby.
13:22Where is my baby?
13:24He's alive.
13:25He's breathing.
13:26He needs monitoring, but he's stable.
13:27Can I hold him?
13:28Support his head.
13:29That's it.
13:31Hi, baby.
13:33Mom's here.
13:34I made him one promise.
13:35No one would ever treat us as disposable again.
13:38Two weeks later, every form was signed and every exit was cleared.
13:46You and your son are cleared to board.
13:49For the first time, I wasn't waiting for permission to leave.
13:53Captain Elijah Miller has secured private specialist for his pregnant partner.
13:56The world called him devoted.
13:58It never asked who paid for that devotion.
14:00We're going home.
14:02Final boarding for flight 217 to London.
14:04The captain thought he owned the sky.
14:05My son and I had already flown beyond his reach.
14:13Later, the call records showed he opened my contact and still didn't call.
14:18Elijah, honey, it hurts.
14:22They already treated you.
14:23Where does it hurt now?
14:24My stomach is cramping.
14:26What if something happens to the baby?
14:28The doctor said the baby was stable.
14:30I was trying to apologize.
14:32She just lost control.
14:33Elijah, stop!
14:35I spoiled her.
14:36I let this go on too long.
14:38I already handled her.
14:40Honey, I think she knows about us.
14:43What makes you think that?
14:45She's been threatening me.
14:47She said she'd kill my baby.
14:49No.
14:50Amelia gets angry, but she isn't capable of that.
14:52I wish I were wrong.
14:53Look.
14:56Why is the rest of the conversation missing?
14:58I deleted it because I was terrified.
15:01Do you think I'd invent this about my own child?
15:04She won't touch you or the baby.
15:06I won't allow it.
15:07He stayed beside Scarlet for a week while my hospital bed remained off his radar.
15:12Amelia?
15:15He expected a wife waiting to be disciplined.
15:18He found an empty room.
15:20The number you are calling is unavailable.
15:22A week became a month.
15:24I never answered.
15:26My wife has been missing for a month.
15:27I need her location.
15:29Has she contacted you or indicated she was in danger?
15:31She left after an argument.
15:33Find her, and I'll handle the rest.
15:37Mr. Miller, there's a problem with your request.
15:39What problem?
15:40Our records show your marriage to Amelia Langston was legally dissolved one month ago.
15:46What did you just say?
15:47Ms. Langston is no longer your wife.
15:49We cannot release her address or travel information to you.
15:52No.
15:53That's impossible.
15:54I never agreed to a divorce.
16:00I never agreed to a divorce.
16:03Just sign this.
16:06There.
16:06Happy now?
16:07He remembered the signature.
16:09What he had forgotten was the woman standing behind it.
16:12You signed the filing.
16:13The court entered the final decree last month.
16:18This confirms the marriage was legally dissolved.
16:21She filed it without telling me?
16:23You signed it.
16:24The court completed the process.
16:26You have no legal right to her medical records or current location.
16:29He had spent his life believing a signature meant control.
16:33This one proved he had signed that control away.
16:37Tell me this isn't final.
16:38The marriage is dissolved, Elijah.
16:42What exactly does that mean for finding her?
16:45Amelia Langston is no longer your wife.
16:48I didn't read it.
16:49I thought she was bluffing.
16:50Not reading a document doesn't cancel your signature.
16:53She can keep it.
16:56Legally, you're a stranger to her medical records and her location.
17:00Without my things, the estate looked expensive again.
17:03And nothing more.
17:07The room he built for our child had become storage for Scarlet.
17:11For once, there was no one left in the room for him to command.
17:16Elisha?
17:17Why are you sitting in the dark?
17:21What is this?
17:24She saw the decree.
17:26And before she remembered to look concerned, she smiled.
17:29Elijah?
17:31How did you and Amelia get divorced?
17:35Why didn't you tell me it was already final?
17:37You seem more interested in the divorce than in what happened to Amelia.
17:40Elijah, that's...
17:40He didn't stop believing her that day.
17:42But for the first time, he started looking.
17:44I'll see you again.
17:46You're welcome.
17:51Bye.
17:51Bye.
17:51Bye.
17:52Bye.
17:52Bye.
