Too Late to Beg! The Ex-Wife He Couldn't Win Back HD

Short filmTranscript
00:02The hurricane hit without warning.
00:05His mistress and I were both trapped under the rubble.
00:09She has a steel rod through her chest. We need to operate now.
00:12Just as the doctors moved toward me, my husband, Kale, pushed through the crowd.
00:18Save her first! She's pregnant!
00:21Through my blurred vision, I saw the panic in his eyes for his mistress.
00:25What he didn't know was I was pregnant too.
00:29Wait! She's crashing! I think she may have a clotting disorder!
00:33I reached out to Kale with my last strength.
00:36I'm her husband. If anything goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility.
00:40He abandoned me for his mistress, and a child that wasn't even his.
00:45The doctors hesitated for a moment, then they turned away from me.
00:49After all, my husband had agreed to take responsibility.
00:52I lay on the cold floor, blood pooling beneath me.
00:55The doctors and nurses nearby couldn't hide their disgust.
00:59People like him make me sick.
01:01His wife is the one bleeding out, and he's worried about another woman.
01:05And that woman barely has a scratch on her.
01:07Why is she demanding priority over a critical patient?
01:11Meanwhile, his wife was crushed under falling debris.
01:14Their voices drifted in and out of my ears.
01:17I turned my head.
01:18Kale was holding Sarah in his arms.
01:20His face was pale with worry.
01:22In seven years of marriage, I had never seen him look at me that way.
01:26Turns out, his heart belongs to Sarah, and no space for me.
01:31I could feel myself slipping away.
01:34At this rate, I might lose my baby too.
01:36I grabbed a nurse's sleeve.
01:39Please, can you save me first?
01:42I'm pregnant too.
01:44Just then, Kale walked over with Sarah in his arms.
01:50Even now, you're still trying to get my attention?
01:54Pathetic.
01:55Sarah just told me she's pregnant.
01:57And you pull this?
01:58Trying to compete with her?
02:00Doctor, ignore her.
02:01She's fine.
02:02Sarah is the one who's hurt.
02:03Examine her first.
02:07She's crashing.
02:08We're losing her.
02:09I said I'm her husband.
02:10I take full responsibility.
02:12She's faking it.
02:15She does this for attention.
02:16She's not dying.
02:18Now examine Sarah.
02:19If anything happens to her, I'll destroy every one of you!
02:23The doctor treating me stopped.
02:25He stepped away.
02:26Only the nurse stayed.
02:28Stay with me, please.
02:29We're going to save you.
02:31I tried to keep my eyes open,
02:32but I could feel the blood leaving my chest.
02:35One last thought before the dark.
02:37God, why does it hurt this much?
02:40Seven years of marriage.
02:41When it came to life or death,
02:43he chose her without hesitation.
02:46Voices pulled me back.
02:48I opened my eyes.
02:49The ER ceiling.
02:52Miss, we've called your husband several times,
02:54but he didn't answer.
02:56Surgery requires a signature.
02:57Is there anyone else we can reach?
02:59My heart ached.
03:00Kale was definitely taking care of Sarah now.
03:03He had no time for me.
03:04I will sign it.
03:05Using all my strength to hold the pen.
03:07When I was about to pass out from the pain,
03:10I heard other nurses gossiping.
03:11Girls, take notes.
03:13Marry someone who shows up.
03:15That woman they brought in earlier,
03:17Sarah, her husband hasn't left her side once.
03:19Won't even eat.
03:20Just holds her hand and cries.
03:22And then there's this one,
03:24critical condition,
03:25and we still can't find her husband.
03:27That's enough.
03:28She was afraid those words would upset me,
03:29but honestly, I almost wanted to laugh.
03:32If they knew that the devoted husband
03:34they were praising had abandoned his wife
03:36and unborn child to take care of another woman,
03:38what would they think then?
03:40None of that mattered anymore.
03:42I only wanted to save my baby.
03:44The anesthetic flowed into my veins.
03:46Just before I lost consciousness,
03:53I only got those two words out before I was gone.
03:56When I opened my eyes again,
03:58the sharp smell of disinfectant filled my nose.
04:00You're awake.
04:01How do you feel?
04:02Your baby's okay.
04:04We saved the baby.
04:05The moment she saw I was awake,
04:06relief filled her face.
04:08After everything he put you through
04:09and you were still thinking about his baby the whole time,
04:11was it worth it?
04:13The baby didn't do anything wrong.
04:15She didn't say anything else,
04:17just told me to rest and slipped out.
04:19I lay in bed, exhausted.
04:21Just as I was about to fall asleep,
04:23I heard it.
04:25Kale, it hurts.
04:27I know.
04:28I'm right here.
04:29It's Sarah and Kale.
04:31Kale, the baby.
04:34The baby's fine.
04:36I've got you both.
04:37Don't worry.
04:38A soft voice I had never heard in seven years of marriage.
04:41Should you go check on your wife?
04:43She sounded like she was hurt pretty bad.
04:45The moment she brought me up,
04:47his tone shifted completely.
04:49Sarah, why are you worrying about her?
04:51You're too kind.
04:52You're too kind.
04:53Back there, she lied about being pregnant
04:54just to compete with you for medical resources.
04:56A woman like that deserves whatever happens to her.
04:59Honestly, if she hadn't made it,
05:00it would have been her own fault.
05:01My mind went blank.
05:02The bullet wound had hurt,
05:04but his words hurt more.
05:05I forced myself to stop listening.
05:08Once I was stable enough to be moved,
05:10I called the housekeeper, Mrs. Lawson,
05:12and asked her to come.
05:13She didn't pick up.
05:14But 10 seconds later,
05:15she walked through my door
05:17with a food container in her hands.
05:19Awkwardness flashed across her face.
05:21Mrs. Lawson, why didn't you answer?
05:24It was Mr. Morgan who asked me to come.
05:28Of course he did.
05:30When the hurricane hit,
05:31Kale had made the doctors save Sarah first.
05:34He would make the housekeeper
05:35take care of her first too.
05:40Since you're already here,
05:42take me for a walk.
05:44She didn't look happy about it,
05:46but she couldn't refuse.
05:47She helped me into the wheelchair
05:49and pushed me out into the hall.
05:51I had her stop in front of Sarah's door.
05:54I've had enough.
05:55This ends here.
05:57When she saw me,
05:59she didn't look surprised.
06:01Instead, she spoke as if she owned the place.
06:03Mrs. Lawson?
06:05Who's this?
06:10This is Mr. Morgan's wife.
06:17Oh, it's you?
06:20I'm so sorry.
06:23Please don't blame Kale.
06:25This is all my fault.
06:27If I hadn't been hurt,
06:29if I hadn't been pregnant,
06:30he never would have left you.
06:38Guess Kale's taste isn't much to brag about after all.
06:41He's that obsessed with you?
06:42Fine.
06:43Keep him.
06:44A trash like that isn't worth keeping.
06:45The next second,
06:47my wheelchair lurched forward.
06:49Someone had shoved it.
06:50The wheelchair slammed into a cabinet.
06:52I was thrown onto the floor.
06:54The pain hit.
06:59Oh my God, I'm so sorry.
07:02I didn't mean to.
07:03I was scared you were upset.
07:04I just wanted to stop you.
07:07I panicked.
07:09Warmth spreading down my legs.
07:10A lot of blood is soaking through my pants.
07:14She's bleeding.
07:15Doctor, someone help.
07:17She's bleeding.
07:22Sarah screamed.
07:23But I caught the flash of satisfaction in her eyes.
07:26I was taken back into surgery.
07:28This time, luck didn't find me.
07:31My baby was gone.
07:33When I came out of it,
07:34Kale was sitting by the bed.
07:36I thought he knew about the baby,
07:38but the first thing he did was blame me.
07:40You shouldn't have gone to see her.
07:43What?
07:43My whole body went cold.
07:45Don't give me that look.
07:46You fell.
07:48Sure, you ended up in surgery,
07:49but you're fine now.
07:51But you're fine now, aren't you?
07:53If you'd stayed in your room,
07:55like a normal person,
07:57instead of picking a fight with Sarah,
08:00none of this would have happened.
08:01I realized he didn't know about the baby.
08:04Sarah and Mrs. Lawson must have made sure of that.
08:07Maybe that was for the best.
08:09He didn't deserve to know.
08:11He reached into his pocket
08:13and pulled out a pair of earrings.
08:16These are for you.
08:17They were the ones I'd wanted for years.
08:19I used to ask him to buy them for me.
08:21No.
08:22He always said married women
08:23shouldn't waste money on dressing up.
08:29What's this supposed to mean?
08:30I knew Kale too well.
08:32He never apologized because he felt guilty,
08:35especially not for Sarah.
08:37The hurricane has been all over the news.
08:39And?
08:40Reporters are coming tomorrow.
08:41You survived critical injuries with a clotting disorder.
08:45They're calling it a miracle.
08:46I need you to give that interview to Sarah.
08:49She'll take your place and pose as my wife.
08:51I was disgusted by how shameless he sounded.
08:53How exactly do you expect that to work?
08:58I've already handled it.
09:00The medical records have been switched.
09:01No one will know.
09:02He must have thought I was hesitating because his tone softened.
09:06I know you've always wanted a child.
09:09Once you're recovered, we'll try again.
09:13You know my company's about to go public.
09:15We need the buzz.
09:17And Sarah is a public figure.
09:19With her involved, the story will get even more attention.
09:23If we play this right, it'll be good for both of us.
09:26Even now, he was still thinking about Sarah and himself.
09:30Every single move had never once been about me.
09:34Fine.
09:35I didn't hesitate.
09:37See?
09:37This is why it works between us.
09:39We're married.
09:40What's good for me is good for you.
09:43Get some rest.
09:45I'll come by later.
09:48He never did.
09:49I found out through the nurses that the press event was in the hospital's conference hall.
09:54Ignoring the pain, I made my way there.
09:57By the time I arrived, the room was packed.
10:00Cameras everywhere.
10:02Through the crowd, I spotted Kale and Sarah.
10:05Kale stood beside her wheelchair.
10:07His expression was full of concern.
10:10Sarah had carefully styled herself to look fragile and seriously injured.
10:15They looked like a loving couple.
10:17Sarah, of everyone who helped you through this, who are you most grateful for?
10:21The doctors who saved me and my baby.
10:25And my partner.
10:26He never left my side, even when everything was falling apart.
10:30He's the reason I held on.
10:32That's beautiful.
10:33Your relationship must be stronger than ever.
10:35So many families were torn apart.
10:37The three of you made it through.
10:38You have so much to look forward to.
10:41Mr. Morgan, you run a successful company and clearly you're devoted at home.
10:45Do you have any advice for other men?
10:47Just as he opened his mouth, I pushed through the crowd.
10:51The slap landed clean across his face.
10:56Hundreds of cameras swung toward me.
10:58Mia, what the hell are you?
10:59If she's your wife, then what am I?
11:03And did either of you think for one second about our child?
11:07Before he could react, I pulled the black cloth from what I was carrying.
11:12A small white urn appeared before everyone.
11:16Kale went pale.
11:18Sarah screamed and scrambled behind him.
11:22Mia, what is wrong with you?
11:24I stepped forward.
11:27Did you ask our child how it felt when you decided to be with the woman who killed it?
11:32What child?
11:33Mia, have you lost your mind?
11:35Exactly.
11:36How can you accuse me like that?
11:37The reporters push closer.
11:39Microphone's out.
11:41Ma'am, can you explain what you mean about the child?
11:43And what exactly is your relationship with Mr. Morgan?
11:45I knew Sarah would keep playing dumb.
11:48I'd come prepared.
11:49I pulled out the prenatal test results and our marriage certificate.
11:54Kale Morgan and I are legally married.
11:56That was our child.
11:58Kale snatched the papers out of my hands before the cameras could catch them clearly.
12:03You were pregnant?
12:06Yes.
12:08I held his gaze.
12:09I was pregnant when the hurricane hit.
12:12When you abandoned me to save her.
12:16And the woman you saved put her hands on my wheelchair and sent me crashing.
12:25I lost the baby in surgery that night.
12:28The room turned on Sarah.
12:30Is that true?
12:31Mr. Morgan was already married?
12:33Does that make you the other woman?
12:35No!
12:36I didn't!
12:38Kale, that's not true!
12:40She grabbed Kyle's sleeve desperately.
12:43Tears filled her eyes.
12:45Kyle hesitated.
12:47Then, he pulled her into his arms.
12:50Enough.
12:51You have no proof.
12:52I couldn't believe it.
12:53Even after learning about our baby, he still chose her.
12:58Mia, you can't...
12:59Can't just make accusations like that without any proof.
13:02She's right, Miss Carter.
13:03That's a serious allegation.
13:05The reporters were starting to murmur.
13:07Who says there's no proof?
13:08A voice behind me.
13:10I turned.
13:11It was the young nurse.
13:12She stepped through the crowd and walked up to the nearest camera.
13:16She opened her phone.
13:17Security footage played on the screen.
13:20I remembered all at once.
13:21The day I visited Sarah's room, the door had been open.
13:25The hallway camera had recorded everything.
13:30Sarah lunged toward the nurse, grabbing for the phone.
13:34The nurse sidestepped and pushed her to the floor.
13:41I never expected a famous animal rescue influencer to be this cruel.
13:46So all that kindness was fake?
13:48Who knows what she does to the animals when the cameras aren't rolling.
13:51The reporters closed in on Sarah from every direction.
13:55Some openly cursed her.
13:57You destroyed someone's family and killed her baby.
14:00How do you live with that?
14:02May Karm drag you straight to hell!
14:12There has to be a misunderstanding.
14:14Kale tried once more.
14:16Kale's face grew darker.
14:18This is a misunderstanding.
14:20Sarah isn't like this.
14:22The nurse looked at him.
14:24You're just as disgusting as she is.
14:28She turned toward the cameras.
14:30I was there when the hurricane hit that day.
14:32This man knew his wife was seriously injured.
14:35He still let the doctors treat his mistress first.
14:37His face went white.
14:39Shut up, you freaking...
14:41Sir, you need to back up.
14:44Several reporters blocked him immediately.
14:48Why are you getting violent?
14:50Are you always like this?
14:52He glared at me.
14:53Are you happy now?
14:55Mia, are you just gonna stand there?
14:57Does seeing me miserable make you happy?
15:00I nodded and smiled to him.
15:03You should own what you do.
15:06Bitch!
15:07This is all your fault!
15:09Fix it!
15:10Tell them you made it up!
15:12Or I swear I'll divorce you!
15:14Kale, have some shame.
15:16And now, you're still trying to weasel your way out?
15:19Don't forget.
15:20This is a live broadcast.
15:22That landed.
15:24He looked around the room, at the cameras, at the reporters, still firing questions he couldn't answer.
15:30He tried to push through.
15:31There was nowhere to go.
15:33The perfect image they built collapsed in front of everyone.
15:36I took the nurse's arm and we walked out.
15:39The broadcast hit every trending list by that evening.
15:43Both Kale and Sarah became targets online.
15:47Thousands of comments flooded their accounts.
15:50How shameless is this man?
15:51His wife was pregnant and seriously injured.
15:53He waved her off to save his mistress.
15:57Men will cheat with anyone because they never appreciate what they already have.
16:00Hope his wife divorces him and lives her best life.
16:10It Kale had always had too much pride for his own good.
16:14He replied to every comment he could find.
16:17Argued with strangers in his mentions for days.
16:20This only made things worse.
16:22This is what your CEO looks like, apparently.
16:28How does a company this incompetent even think about going public?
16:31It went on for nearly a week.
16:33Then the news cycle moved on, the way it always does.
16:37What I didn't expect was for Kale to show up at my door.
16:40After the press conference, I'd moved out.
16:43I was staying in a small apartment a friend wasn't using.
16:47Because of my recovery, I wasn't working.
16:50I don't know what Kale said to my friend.
16:52But my friend gave him the address.
17:03The moment I opened the door, memories flooded back.
17:07The hurricane.
17:08The promises.
17:10The seven years we spent together.
17:16I thought about all the things he'd promised over the years.
17:19I'd believed for a long time that we were going to grow old together.
17:24We stood across from each other like strangers with a score to settle.
17:28He held out a card, impatient.
17:32300,000 in that account.
17:33Call it compensation for the baby.
17:35You had your scene.
17:35I've suffered too.
17:36Isn't that enough?
17:38He thought a child had a price tag.
17:41Does Sarah's baby have a number too?
17:43I asked.
17:44Or is hers worth more?
17:45His face went cold.
17:47Are you threatening me?
17:50Watch yourself.
17:51You go near Sarah again and you won't like what happens.
17:54There's something else.
17:56I need you to go on record and say the whole thing was a misunderstanding.
18:00My company is about to go public.
18:02If this scandal continues, the board will come after me.
18:06Is that what you want?
18:06Classic Kale.
18:08Even now, he still believed one conversation would bring me back in line.
18:12If you won't play along, I'll divorce you.
18:14And face it, you're secondhand.
18:18Leftovers.
18:19No man with options is settling for that.
18:22How had I never seen this side of him before?
18:25He showed no respect for women at all, throwing insulting, sexist terms.
18:31Divorce?
18:31I said.
18:32I'd love that.
18:34He stared.
18:35What did you just say?
18:37I nodded.
18:38You're nothing without me!
18:40You should be grateful you married me!
18:42How dare you be the one asking for a divorce!
18:44His voice went up a notch.
18:46I...
18:46I chose you!
18:47I married you!
18:48You don't get to be the one who walks away!
18:50That's not how this works!
18:52Seven years of being told I wasn't enough.
18:54He'd take his friends out for dinner.
18:56And if he saw another man's date, his eyes would linger.
18:59His friends would tease him.
19:01You better watch out before your wife gets jealous.
19:05He'd laugh out loud.
19:07She can't blame me for that.
19:09Blame her!
19:10She let herself go.
19:12Bad skin, no effort.
19:14Men are visual creatures.
19:15That's just biology.
19:16If I was upset, he said I was making things awkward.
19:19Can't you take a joke?
19:21You need to loosen up.
19:23No one likes a woman who can't laugh at herself.
19:25I've tolerated these for years.
19:28Then I saw him at a work dinner with Sarah.
19:31She was leaning against his arm.
19:33He bent toward her to check if she'd had too much to drink.
19:37Gentle in a way I'd never seen.
19:39A friend spotted me waiting by the door.
19:41Nudged Kyle.
19:43He glanced over and shrugged.
19:45Mia's always been the reasonable one.
19:46Reasonable enough to watch him love someone else in plain sight.
19:50I'd told myself patience would bring him back.
19:53Now here we were.
19:55I had no baby.
19:56He had no future.
19:58His beautiful romance, the one he'd found after he was already married, had cost everything.
20:06And he still couldn't see it.
20:08He was bluffing.
20:10I was determined to get a divorce.
20:13He refused to negotiate.
20:16Wouldn't sit down.
20:18Wouldn't talk terms.
20:19So I took him to court.
20:23For days he dodged me.
20:25Wouldn't return calls.
20:27Wouldn't respond to the attorneys.
20:30Then, a few days before the hearing, he appeared again.
20:34The moment he saw me, he froze.
20:37You look different.
20:40I smiled.
20:41I'm not waiting around for your texts anymore.
20:44I sleep when I want.
20:46Eat what I want.
20:46Do what I want.
20:48That tends to change a person.
20:49There was a large mirror in the lobby of my building.
20:52I caught my reflection.
20:53The vacation tan made my skin glow.
20:56The black dress fit like it was made for me.
20:58I barely recognized myself.
21:00In a good way.
21:02Kale looked like he'd aged.
21:04I'd seen the screenshots a friend sent me from Sarah's social media.
21:07After the press conference fallout, Kale had become a liability.
21:12Sarah hadn't consoled him.
21:14She'd pushed.
21:15She wanted him to hurry up, divorce me, and make it official.
21:20And she hadn't asked nicely.
21:23Don't tell me you're thinking about going back to her.
21:25Because I still have recordings.
21:27Kale.
21:28Conversations.
21:29Financial records.
21:31You really want to test me?
21:33Turns out, for years, Kale had been spending money he didn't have to keep Sarah happy.
21:39When the accounts ran dry, he'd started moving money he shouldn't have touched.
21:44Falsified records.
21:46Misappropriated funds.
21:48Sarah had kept everything.
21:50Kale refused to be blackmailed.
21:52Can't you cut me some slack?
21:55How am I supposed to marry you now?
21:58You want me to throw away my entire career for you right now?
22:01Sarah didn't care.
22:03She showed up at his office.
22:05Stood in the lobby and made a scene in front of his entire staff.
22:12Kale Morgan, you left your pregnant girlfriend to fend for yourself.
22:15You don't get to just walk away.
22:17Kale's jaw tightened.
22:19I had it checked.
22:20That child was never mine.
22:22None of that was my problem anymore.
22:25All I wanted was a divorce.
22:28I wasn't going back.
22:30I skipped the small talk.
22:31Thanks for the compliment.
22:33Let's talk about the settlement.
22:35I earned less than you during the marriage, but I gave everything I had to that household.
22:39I want what's fair.
22:40Not more than that.
22:42Just what I'm owed.
22:43Kale went quiet.
22:45When he finally looked up, something in his expression had shifted.
22:50Do you have to divorce me?
22:52I thought after all this time you'd have cooled off.
22:56I do love you.
22:57I wouldn't have married you otherwise.
22:59Have I really been that terrible to you all these years?
23:02I opened my phone.
23:04Pulled up Sarah's old posts.
23:06I pointed to one.
23:07That's your hand.
23:08My birthday that year, you said you had a work trip.
23:11You took her to that hilltop to watch the meteor shower.
23:13I stayed up all night because I couldn't reach you.
23:15That necklace.
23:16I scrolled.
23:17You told me you needed something expensive for an important client.
23:20I gave you my grandmother's emerald.
23:22It was the most valuable thing my family had left after everything fell apart.
23:26I handed it over without hesitating.
23:29You gave it to Sarah.
23:30They'd gone to see the Northern Lights together.
23:33That had been my dream since I was a teenager.
23:35Something I'd told him about a hundred times.
23:38He stood there and told me Sarah was just a friend.
23:42That nothing physical had ever happened.
23:44And now he was standing in my lobby asking me not to leave.
23:49He said he loved me.
23:51He said Sarah had manipulated him.
23:54Pursued him.
23:55That he was the one who'd been deceived.
23:58He refused to sign.
24:00If you want a divorce, take me to court.
24:03I'm not agreeing to anything.
24:05For a man who cared so much about his pride,
24:07started showing up outside my building every single day.
24:11Day one, he was up before dawn.
24:13Drove across the city.
24:14Stood in line for two hours at the bakery I'd loved for years.
24:17And brought me a box of the small cakes I used to ask him to get me.
24:21Day two, he drove out to a friend's flower farm after midnight and cut a bunch of roses himself.
24:28Day three, he showed up with my grandmother's emerald necklace.
24:31Said he'd paid Sarah a significant amount to get it back.
24:34Said she'd made him work for it.
24:37Day four, I told the front desk not to let him up.
24:40Refused every delivery.
24:41After that, he disappeared for a while.
24:44I heard through mutual friends that his company's IPO had been delayed.
24:48The parent company called him in.
24:50The head of corporate threw a folder at his face.
24:53Deliver results or get out.
24:55He'd walked out with a cut above his eyebrow.
24:58The promotion he'd been promised, CEO of the entire North American division once the IPO closed, was gone.
25:05He'd be sidelined for years, possibly longer, depending on how the board decided to handle the fallout.
25:12He'd also had to spend a significant amount managing the damage.
25:16And since the IPO hadn't closed, the personal capital he'd put in was frozen.
25:23He was stretched thin.
25:25And Sarah chose that moment to end things.
25:29Kale couldn't process it.
25:30I lost my wife.
25:31I lost my child.
25:33Everything I did was for you?
25:37You're breaking up with me?
25:39Everything you did, you did because you wanted to.
25:41That's not my debt to pay.
25:43You told me you could give me a good life.
25:45You can't anymore.
25:50Why would I stay?
25:54The last time I agreed to meet with Kale, it was to go over the asset division.
26:00Is that rumor really true?
26:05I made a mistake.
26:07I trusted the wrong person.
26:11Mia, is there any chance we could start over?
26:16Have I not made myself clear?
26:19The cakes he'd brought me, I'd given to the building's cleaning staff.
26:23The roses, a friend had accepted on my behalf, since my allergies made it impossible anyway.
26:29The necklace I had kept, because it was mine to begin with.
26:34You know what you can't buy at any price?
26:38A second chance at something you already threw away.
26:42Sarah's character is her business, but yours is yours.
26:46I need you to sign the papers.
26:48Let's end this cleanly.
26:50No court, no more back and forth.
26:53They say when love runs its course, you end up as plaintiff and defendant.
26:59I always thought that was a sad way to put it.
27:01Now I just thought it was accurate.
27:05He signed.
27:06He insisted on splitting everything down the middle.
27:09I don't want half.
27:11You earned most of it.
27:12Take the larger share.
27:14I'm young.
27:15If I need money, I'll make my own.
27:19Take what you're owed.
27:20Don't be stubborn.
27:22I didn't want the entanglement.
27:24But he held firm, so I let it be.
27:28Later, through friends we still had in common, I heard the rest of it.
27:33Sarah had terminated the pregnancy and cut Kale off completely.
27:38As for Kale's company, things eventually stabilized.
27:42The IPO went through after all.
27:44Kale was promoted.
27:46North American CEO.
27:48The title he'd been chasing the whole time.
27:51Word was that Sarah came back after that.
27:54Showed up at his door.
27:56Wouldn't leave.
27:57He refused to see her.
28:00She took the elevator to the roof of his office building.
28:05I gave you years.
28:07You think you can just say goodbye and move on?
28:09You think I'm like your ex-wife?
28:11I'm not that easy.
28:12If you don't come up here, Kale, I'll jump.
28:15Let's see what that does to your stock price.
28:18If I'm going down, we're going down together.
28:20Sarah had gotten involved with some rich man in the months before that.
28:24A man who turned out to be entirely supported by his wife.
28:27When his wife found out about Sarah,
28:29Sarah, she'd shown up and made sure Sarah understood the consequences of any further contact.
28:35Sarah had run out of options.
28:37She'd counted on Kale's obsession still being there when she came back.
28:41She'd assumed she could walk in and pick up where she left off.
28:45She hadn't counted on him being done.
28:48Under enough pressure, Kale finally went up to the roof.
28:53You've already done enough damage.
28:55What more do you want?
28:57I want to marry you.
28:59You promised.
29:00You were pregnant with another man's child and you tried to pin it on me.
29:03You left during the worst year of my life and went to someone else,
29:06and now that I've rebuilt, you want to come back?
29:09I can't get past that.
29:11I'm asking you to let this go.
29:13Let's both walk away.
29:14Ald said it quietly.
29:17He moved toward her slowly, trying to close the distance,
29:21trying to get her somewhere safe so the whole thing could be over.
29:25Sarah had been in a bad place for a long time.
29:28The confrontation, the isolation,
29:30it had pushed her somewhere she couldn't come back from.
29:34The moment Kale reached for her hand,
29:37she grabbed his wrist and pulled.
29:39Both of them went over.
29:41They were gone before anyone could get there.
29:44I was told it was hard to look at.
29:47There was no one left to identify them.
29:54A police called me a few days later,
29:57asked about my relationship to Kale Morgan.
30:00I was already at the airport,
30:02boarding pass in my hand,
30:04flight to Geneva.
30:06He was my ex-husband.
30:07I said.
30:08Just my ex-husband.
30:10The detective gave a small, awkward pause.
30:13Understood.
30:14Never mind then.
30:16Safe travels.
