Short filmTranscript
00:00:03When I was 18, I signed a pre-nupical agreement and married Alistair, a man 15 years my senior.
00:00:14Everyone says I'm just a canary he keeps in a penthouse, but only I know how much he has favored
00:00:19me.
00:00:21This ring, which he designed himself, is the proof.
00:00:25And now, we finally have a little angel of our own.
00:00:29I have to tell Alistair the good news. I wonder how happy he'll be.
00:00:33Alistair, are you free right now? There's something I want you to be the first to know.
00:00:37Something's come up on my end.
00:00:39What's so urgent?
00:00:40Victoria's back. She's not doing well, so I need to take care of her first. I'll find you later. Be
00:00:45a good girl.
00:00:46Victoria. The one name he never allowed anyone to mention.
00:01:10You said you were busy today. So this is what you're busy with? Spending time with her?
00:01:16Am I interrupting something?
00:01:18She just got back and isn't doing well. Don't overthink it.
00:01:22Not doing well? Is that an excuse to be intimate with my husband in here?
00:01:26Alistair, you promised me you'd forget her.
00:01:29Chloe, watch your attitude.
00:01:32I'm your wife. I don't even have the right to ask a question?
00:01:36It's precisely because you are my wife that you should know your place.
00:01:41My place? What about you? Bringing another woman into your office? Is that your idea of knowing your place?
00:01:47Article 32 of the pre-Hopful Agreement. You are not to interfere with my social life, schedule, or business arrangements.
00:01:53You signed it. Now follow the rule.
00:01:55Alistair, she's young. It's only natural she's being mature. Don't be too hard on her.
00:02:00Not even a single word of explanation?
00:02:02It's not necessary. I gave you a title and a life of dignity, not a license to come here and
00:02:06make a steam.
00:02:06Grow up, little girl. Don't make this any more embarrassing than it already is.
00:02:10Get out.
00:02:17Why the rush? Even a contract wife can feel embarrassed?
00:02:24Get out of my way.
00:02:26Does this look familiar?
00:02:28Alistair designed it himself. The size, the cut, even the curve of the setting. It's identical.
00:02:34The one on your finger is just a fake he bought later to replace it.
00:02:37What exactly are you trying to say?
00:02:38I'm saying you should know your place. So what if you're his wife? You live in his house, spend his
00:02:43money, and trade a contract for a last name.
00:02:45But I'm different. I don't need an appointment to enter his office. I sit on his sofa, and he pours
00:02:52my drinks himself.
00:02:53Alistair, I only have one question. Why is her ring the same as mine?
00:02:57It's just a ring.
00:03:00I designed this ring specifically for you. It's the only one of its kind in the world. After all, you
00:03:08are my one and only.
00:03:10Fine. I understand.
00:03:15What is this?
00:03:23It's just a manuscript for the competition. Don't bother yourself with it.
00:03:27I'll have the driver take you back.
00:03:29No need. I can get back on my own.
00:03:31I haven't had a chance to see her music room yet.
00:03:34See it if you want. You don't have to ask me twice about anything in this house.
00:03:38No problem. I'll send the manuscript over right now.
00:03:45My manuscript!
00:03:51This is my only original copy.
00:03:53I'm so sorry, Chloe. Who knew your music room would be such a mess? My hand slipped, and I spilled
00:03:58it.
00:03:59You won't blame me, will you?
00:04:00What a shame. I heard you were in a rush to submit this.
00:04:05What are you going to do now?
00:04:08Get your foot off it!
00:04:09What? It's just a pile of paper. Is all this really necessary?
00:04:17Alistair!
00:04:20Alistair, I really didn't mean it. I just wanted to see where she usually practices, but she started snapping at
00:04:25me the moment she got back. I'm a little scared.
00:04:26Victoria, you-
00:04:27Chloe, enough!
00:04:28What did you say?
00:04:29Victoria already said she didn't mean it. Is it really worth making such a scene over nothing?
00:04:33I wrote every single note of this myself. This is two years of my hard work. Alistair, you know that
00:04:37better than anyone!
00:04:38Hard work? Chloe, what are you really afraid of losing? This score, or the status you've built using it as
00:04:44a prop? A student from a common background who managed to crawl into the Sterling family through a marriage certificate?
00:04:50Who are you trying to impress with this wronged woman act? Didn't you approach me in the first place for
00:04:55the money, the status, and the chance to climb to the top?
00:04:57I didn't-
00:04:58Am I wrong? Now that Victoria is back, you know your position is shaky, so you're using these tears and
00:05:03your so-called hard work as leverage.
00:05:05At the end of Yale, isn't this whole tantrum just a way to get my attention, to get more money,
00:05:09and to squeeze more out of me-
00:05:10No! You've forgotten! I never married you for your wealth, and I certainly wasn't plotting against the Sterling family. You
00:05:16were the one who begged me to marry you!
00:05:18I admit, I was blinded by you back then. If I could do it all over again, I would never
00:05:21marry a woman as calculating as you.
00:05:23We've been married for two years, and this is how lowly you think of me?
00:05:26What else would I think?
00:05:34Still throwing a tantrum over what happened today?
00:05:36Not throwing a tantrum, I just want to know, what exactly am I to you?
00:05:41You're my wife. I sketched the design for this ring myself. That year you were playing the cello in the
00:05:45snow, your hands were beet red from the cold, yet you refused to stop.
00:05:48I sat in the car watching you for half an hour, and when I got back, I drew this.
00:05:52You still remember?
00:05:53Of course. Chloe, I'm not blind to these things.
00:05:57Then why do you protect her over and over again?
00:05:59Victoria is too deeply tied to the family's projects.
00:06:02I took her side today, not because she's more important than Chloe, but because I had to keep the situation
00:06:06under control.
00:06:07Don't take those words to heart.
00:06:09Is that really all it is?
00:06:10You're too young. There are many things I don't want you to get mixed up in.
00:06:18Allister, I hit someone. There's so much blood. Please come quickly.
00:06:24Something came up at the office. I need to head out, but I'll be back soon.
00:06:28This late?
00:06:29Wait for me. Don't go anywhere.
00:06:30There.
00:06:33Little one, your father still cares for us. Just wait a little longer.
00:06:40Chloe, Victoria accidentally killed someone with her car. She can't be linked to this case. So, you're gonna take the
00:06:45fall for her.
00:06:52Chloe, don't be afraid. I'll handle everything. Just sign the papers and I promise you'll be fine.
00:06:57You want me to take the fall for her killing someone?
00:06:59Alistair, you just said you would protect me!
00:07:01I am protecting you. The press is swarming outside and the police are already watching us.
00:07:05We have to lock in the statement first so I can get you out of this mess.
00:07:07Don't be difficult. This is the fastest way. The lawyers will arrange your bail. All you have to do is
00:07:10give your thumbprint.
00:07:12So, everything you said tonight was just a tactic to play me? The ring? The promises? What did any of
00:07:16it mean?
00:07:17It means you need to be smart right now. Article 33 of the prenuptal agreement. You are required to cooperate
00:07:23with family crisis management.
00:07:24Otherwise, you'll never be able to pay off the penalty in your lifetime.
00:07:27I'm not signing.
00:07:28Chloe, don't push me. Once you leave your print, this all ends tonight.
00:07:36Let go! You're hurting me!
00:07:41Blood.
00:07:45Chloe, how- why are you bleeding so much?
00:07:54Alistair, I'm pregnant. It's your baby. Please take me to the hospital.
00:08:00Now is not the time for this.
00:08:02I'm begging you! Please!
00:08:06Sign this, and I'll arrange for the hospital immediately.
00:08:11You still want me to sign?
00:08:13The accident case is already open. Victoria cannot go to prison.
00:08:17Take the fall first, and I'll cover everything. The bail, the lawyers, the hospital.
00:08:21If you don't sign, no one is coming for you tonight. And the hospital won't prioritize you.
00:08:26That's a human life! Not one of your PR crisis!
00:08:29Do you think the feds will just take your word for it? If you confess, it'll only be a few
00:08:33years, and I can reduce your sentence.
00:08:36If you fight it, you won't even make it to bail.
00:08:40You're using the hospital to blackmail me?
00:08:42I'm giving you a way out. Chloe, be good. Just confess first. We'll talk about the baby later.
00:08:47Later? You don't even want it now. You said you'd never leave me alone.
00:08:52Sign it, now.
00:08:59Wait!
00:09:06Wait.
00:09:08Alliston, I knew you wouldn't...
00:09:09If you sign it like this, it looks too much like coercion. The police might not accept it.
00:09:16Press your thumbprint, then sign it again.
00:09:18You stopped me! Just for this?
00:09:21Your confession must be flawless. Nothing can happen to Victoria.
00:09:25I'm bleeding, and you're worried about the paperwork looking pretty?
00:09:28I already have a car waiting downstairs. Once you sign, I'll take you to the hospital immediately.
00:09:33And if I don't sign?
00:09:35Then you can keep wasting time here tonight.
00:09:37Wait for the feds to arrive, or wait for the baby to micewake on its own.
00:09:41Your choice.
00:09:43That's your child, too.
00:09:45Sign the papers first.
00:09:52Alistair, you'll pay for this.
00:09:54Sign it.
00:10:04Don't be afraid. I'm calling an ambulance for you right now.
00:10:12Alistair, save the baby first, I beg you. Save the baby.
00:10:17As long as the baby is safe, anything else, I'll agree to anything.
00:10:22Don't worry. You and the baby will be fine.
00:10:24Let's go!
00:10:25Coming through!
00:10:28Come on.
00:10:29Come on.
00:10:31The patient is facing a severe threat and miscarriage with significant uterine bleeding.
00:10:34We must operate immediately to stop the hemorrhage.
00:10:36She's in critical condition.
00:10:37Any further delay, and we won't be able to save either the mother or the child.
00:10:39These are the prenatal records of the bleeding logs.
00:10:40Sign us now to authorize a combined procedure for surgery and fetal preservation, Mr. Sterling.
00:10:43There is no time.
00:10:44She's losing blood rapidly.
00:10:45She needs to be in the OR right now.
00:10:46Every minute counts.
00:10:47If we wait any longer, the baby is gone, and the mother's life will be at risk, too.
00:10:53Mr. Sterling, Victoria at DUI.
00:10:55If you want your wife to take the fall, it's best she has no recent record of pregnancy.
00:10:59Otherwise...
00:11:00Understood.
00:11:01Hold off on the filing.
00:11:03Suspend the surgery.
00:11:04Just stop the bleeding for now.
00:11:05What did you say?
00:11:08For her sake, you're even...
00:11:11abandoning our child?
00:11:18Cancel the surgery?
00:11:20You're gonna kill our own flesh and blood just for Victoria?!
00:11:22As long as you take the fall for the accident, we can have other children later.
00:11:28But Victoria's reputation is vital to her.
00:11:30She cannot have a criminal record.
00:11:32Ma'am, please calm down!
00:11:33She's eight weeks pregnant and hemorrhaging!
00:11:36And you want her to confess to a crime?!
00:11:39Save your misplaced sense of justice and do as I say,
00:11:43or you'll be kicked out of the medical profession for good by tomorrow.
00:11:46No!
00:11:51You didn't come here to save me at all.
00:11:53You said only today that protect me.
00:11:55Is this what you call protection?
00:11:58Be a good girl and confess.
00:12:00You'll still be my most cherished wife.
00:12:02No, Alistair. I'm begging you.
00:12:20Alistair?
00:12:22Where is my baby?

00:28:15wrong from that moment i forged the confession and used the agreement to force you to sign not because i
00:28:20believe that bullshit i did it because i was scared scared of what scared you would see how rotten i
00:28:26was
00:28:26scared you would realize i was framing my own wife to save another woman's freedom scared you would look

00:29:06create a piece as moving as ashes thank you i think it came from the people who helped me
00:29:12and from things i had no choice but to survive what experiences there was a time in my life when
00:29:17i was
00:29:18very closed off on paper i had a home in reality i was more like a carefully kept possession you
00:29:25mean
00:29:27your marriage yes a marriage built on enormous equality and lies i was too young then naive enough to
00:29:34believe talent and love could bridge anything then i was betrayed and i lost my child that is
00:29:42heartbreaking i was lucky after i escaped i met people in europe who truly respected art and human
00:29:48dignity they gave me shelter and a stage and allowed me to live purely for music so you see that
00:29:54unhappy
00:29:54marriage as the catalyst for your artistic transformation it is part of my life that cannot be erased i do
00:30:00not
00:30:00thank that experience but i thank the woman who crawled out of the rubbles as for the other person in
00:30:05that marriage
00:30:10my past and that name with it is over like a fire that burned itself out only ashes remain
00:30:16i will not and i do not want to have even the slightest connection with anyone from that past again
00:30:22my life and my music are moving forward i will not and i do not want to have even the
00:30:28slightest
00:30:28connection with anyone from that past again promise me we will not be apart for a hundred years

00:33:44the card is gorgeous my other half of my soul who brought these in did i not say every gift
00:33:50goes
00:33:50through me first the florist brought them straight to the backstage door they said they were specifically
00:33:54for claire they are beautiful i bet they are even prettier in real life but i heard they are almost
00:34:04impossible to grow and they bloom for only a moment i guess they were never meant for me
00:34:07nothing is impossible for the sterlings not if you want it forget it some things are just not meant
00:34:13chloe chloe are you okay give it to me leave the flowers put them here they are pretty
00:34:33chloe are you sure you're okay it's just a flower brody i'm fine just drop it will you
00:34:41chloe you are the other half of my soul the missing part of me only you can make me whole
00:34:47in that moment i thought i had caught every star in the sky the other half of my soul
00:34:57not mine never meant to be mine
00:35:05chloe
00:35:10tell me what happened in that cafe in new york before he kissed me for the first
00:35:15time that is exactly what he said my other half of my soul i am getting you time off go
00:35:21home and
00:35:21really no i'm fine you're sure i am sure the harder he tries to nail me to the past the
00:35:26more
00:35:27i will make him see those memories cannot hurt me anymore i will not drown in the past never
00:35:34mr sterling these are the records you requested how bad was she when she was brought in all of them
00:35:38extremely bad the patient was already showing early signs of hemorrhagic shock we recommended
00:35:42immediate surgery it was the only way to try to save both mother and child why did you not insist
00:35:46you signed the form you said as long as she could talk in authority to overturn the family's
00:35:50explicit instructions if you had done the surgery the baby there would at least have been a chance but
00:35:53after you refused that child could not be saved we later found the patient had already been
00:35:57delayed at home for at least more than 40 minutes before she arrived after arrival waiting for your
00:36:01signature cost the best intervention window delayed how long nearly two hours the records show the
00:36:08hemorrhage became fully controllable after midnight we later assessed that if she had arrived half an
00:36:12hour later or if the bleeding had been slightly worse we might not have saved the mother either
00:36:17child it was me it was all me i killed chloe's and my baby with my own hands all for
00:36:26victoria
00:36:30at 10 17 pm she started bleeding at 10 20 i took out the document i made her sign her
00:36:37hands
00:36:37were shaking she could not write blood soaked the paper at 10 50 she finished signing i called
00:36:45then i waited 47 minutes after i hung up i did not call again
00:36:56alistair alistair i'm pregnant please take me to the hospital now is not the time for this
00:37:04i'm begging you please sign this and i'll arrange for the hospital immediately
00:37:13still want me to sign the accident is already open victoria did not go to prison
00:37:18take the fall first and i'll cover everything the bail the lawyers the hospital and if you don't
00:37:23sign no one is coming for you tonight and the hospital won't prioritize you the doctor said surgery
00:37:30i said no too risky
00:37:37cancel the surgery you're going to kill our own flesh and blood just for victoria
00:37:41as long as you take the fall for the accident we can have other children
00:37:46but victoria's reputation is vital to her she cannot have a criminal record
00:37:52i chose it no ambulance no surgery she had to sign first
00:38:03even the fall that sent her to the hospital
00:38:06that was because of me too chloe don't push me once you leave your print this all ends tonight
00:38:25it was her she was driving she killed that person she begged me to save her yes it was her
00:38:34she
00:38:34drove a wedge between us she nailed in front of me saying her career her name her future were over
00:38:38she cried that only chloe could save her i'm saying you should know your place so what if you're his
00:38:43wife you live in his house enter his office i sit on his sofa and he pours my drinks himself
00:38:52exactly if it were not for victoria why would chloe have been pushed that far
00:38:55why would i have forced chloe why would i have lost our baby that is right it was all because
00:39:00of her
00:39:00i need to find her mr sterling was so easy to fool one perfectly staged elevator malfunction one
00:39:12perfectly timed twisted ankle and he believed i was his destined soulmate that old money type is
00:39:18arrogant and naive to the bone i played the independent self-made woman for him all these
00:39:22years for exactly this sooner or later every sterling group asset will carry the thorn name
00:39:27as for the baby losing that common girl's child was good for me an heir with ordinary blood would only
00:39:33dilute the sterling fortune
00:39:39alistair what are you doing here you have been playing me this whole time no i love you everything
00:39:45you did was for us that chloe never deserved you she only dragged you you built our beginning on lies
00:39:54you scheme to tear chloe and me apart you you killed my child you drove her away this is all
00:40:01your fault
00:40:01there has to be a misunderstanding i can explain save your explanation for the feds

00:56:01he is rh negative
00:56:02the blood bank has no supply
00:56:04his condition is critical
