00:00Mom is lying on the ground. Red water is everywhere on the floor.
00:04My baby brother came out of mom's belly. My teacher said red water is blood.
00:08If it keeps flowing, people die. I don't want mom to die.
00:12Just a few minutes ago, dad lost his temper and left.
00:16Jack, I don't feel well. Can you take Mia to the amusement park instead?
00:22Pushed mom away impatiently.
00:23I'm heading out right now. If you're sick, go to the hospital. Telling me doesn't help.
00:29Please.
00:30I promised Whippy I wouldn't be late for her birthday.
00:33You won't be jealous of a child, will you?
00:37I was wearing my little backpack, happily thinking mom was really taking me to the amusement park.
00:43But now, my backpack is lying in a pool of blood.
00:47Everything is a scary bright red.
00:51Mom, mom, please wake up.
00:54Mom, mom.
00:56The crying wakes mommy up.
00:58Mia, give me my phone.
00:59Mommy calls 911 first.
01:00She tells them where we live and what is happening.
01:02The person on the phone says help is coming and tells her to hang on.
01:05Then, mommy calls daddy.
01:06He doesn't pick up until the third time.
01:09What now?
01:09I'm in labor early. Please come home now.
01:12Chloe, stop acting. You were fine when I left. How are you suddenly having the baby?
01:15He screams about how mommy lied years ago and ruined a woman named Megan's life.
01:19He says he is helping Megan and her daughter Winnie now to pay for mommy's sins.
01:23No, I never did those things.
01:25But daddy doesn't hear her. The screen is already black. He hung up.
01:28Mommy! Mommy!
01:30Mommy's eyes roll back. She looks like she's in so much pain. I'm shaking.
01:34Mommy!
01:34She wakes up a little.
01:36Don't be scared, Mia. I'll call your uncle. Daddy won't help. Uncle will.
01:40She picks up the phone again. I hear a tiny cry from my baby brother.
01:44Mia, go get a blanket for the baby.
01:46I run to my room and grab my favorite little blanket.
01:49But when I come back to cover my brother, mommy has fallen asleep.
01:53Then, a voice comes from the phone.
01:55It's uncle.
01:56Uncle, please come. Mommy is bleeding so much. Please save her.
02:00Mia, put your mother on the phone.
02:03But, mommy is sleeping.
02:06Chloe!
02:06You've gone too far. You're even teaching Mia to lie now?
02:12Jack already called me.
02:14He said you're just jealous because he's spending time at Winnie's birthday party.
02:18How can you be so mean? You're even trying to ruin a child's birthday.
02:24We are not going to let you repeat what happened a few years ago.
02:29The screen goes dark.
02:31I don't know how to unlock her phone, so I grab my toy watch.
02:34I call uncle over and over, but he keeps hanging up on me.
02:37I don't know what to do.
02:40Then, there is a knock at the door.
02:42The doctors are finally here.
02:45One, two, go.
02:48The doctors lifted mommy and my little brother onto the ambulance.
02:52They took me to the hospital too.
02:55Mommy was rushed into a small room.
02:57So many doctors were running in and out.
03:00I stood by the door, peeking inside.
03:02I just wanted to know if mommy was okay.
03:05I wanted to know if she was awake.
03:07A nice lady saw me and led me to a chair.
03:10Be a good girl.
03:12We are trying to save your mommy and your brother.
03:15Just sit here and stay calm, okay?
03:18I nodded.
03:21Where is the family?
03:22Then, a man ran out and asked the lady.
03:27She pointed at me.
03:31Are you kidding me?
03:32She's just a kid.
03:33The mother is in bad shape.
03:35We might have to perform a hysterectomy to save her.
03:37The baby is even worse.
03:39He needs to go to a special hospital right now or he won't make it.
03:42We need an adult to make these choices fast.
03:44Find a grown up now or we might lose them both.
03:47I didn't understand all the big words, but I understood the last part.
03:51Lose them?
03:57Mommy once told me that losing someone means they die.
04:01And dying means you never see them again.
04:09I'm never going to see mommy again.
04:14I started crying as loud as I could.
04:16I was so scared.
04:18The nice doctor grabbed some tissues to wipe my tears.
04:21Don't be scared, little one.
04:23Are my mommy and brother going to die?
04:25No, they won't.
04:26We are going to do everything we can to save them.
04:28Do you know your dad's phone number?
04:29I did.
04:30On my first day of school, mommy made me memorize both her number and daddy's.
04:34She told me if a stranger ever tried to take me away, I had to call them first.
04:38I told her the number and she called him right away.
04:41Daddy always picks up fast, unless it's mommy calling.
04:44Hello?
04:45Who is this?
04:46I heard daddy ask.
04:48The doctor told him who she was and repeated everything the other doctor had said.
04:53What's wrong?
04:54You need to get to the hospital right now.
04:56Otherwise, both the mother and the baby are in big danger.
05:00As soon as she said that, I heard a chair crash to the floor on the other end.
05:03Which hospital?
05:04Where are you?
05:06Is Chloe really in trouble?
05:07That's strange.
05:08I just saw her at the amusement park a minute ago.
05:10I recognized that voice.
05:13It was Winnie's mom, Megan.
05:18Mommy's name is Chloe and hers is Megan.
05:21Mommy says Megan is her stepsister.
05:24Mommy doesn't like her at all.
05:27She and daddy fight about Megan all the time.
05:31After they fight, mommy always holds me and cries.
05:34She tells me Megan is a bad person and that I should stay away from her.
05:39But daddy says Megan is kind and he says Winnie is an angel.
05:44He buys Winnie teddy bears and pretty dresses.
05:47He even makes little cakes for her by hand.
05:50Daddy has never done any of those things for me.
05:53Mommy always tells me daddy loves me, but I know the truth.
05:57He loves Winnie more than me.
05:59Suddenly, daddy's angry voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
06:02He was yelling so loud the phone started to buzz and crackle.
06:06I almost fell for it.
06:06How much did Chloe pay you?
06:07What money?
06:08What are you talking about?
06:09Tell her to stop acting.
06:10I fell for her tricks years ago, but I'm not falling for them again.
06:14Not a chance.
06:14Sir, if you don't help, both patients are going to die.
06:18Then let them die.
06:19Stop bothering me.
06:24He hung up.
06:26The doctor's eyes turned red with anger.
06:31Do you have anyone else's number?
06:55Do you have anyone else's number?
06:59What?
07:06I'm going to die.
07:19I'm going to die.
07:20I'm going to die.
07:28I'm going to die.
07:42I'm going to die.
07:49I'm going to die.

13:38i told the lady doctor where i was going before i left
13:42i even gave her my phone number
13:44she must have found out already

13:47on the phone the lady doctor asked me where i was in a very soft voice
13:51i told her the address
13:54about 20 minutes later

14:01her eyes were red
14:02and her voice was so low i could barely hear her

14:27mommy was lying quietly on a bed
14:29my baby brother so tiny was lying right next to her
14:33the blood had been wiped away
14:34so it just looked like they were sleeping
14:36after the doctor said it was okay
14:38i climbed onto the bed
14:40i tucked my head against mommy's neck
14:43and held her as tight as i could
14:44mommy felt so cold
14:47whenever i used to feel cold
14:49mommy would hold me just like this
14:51to keep me warm
14:52now i want to give all my warmth to her
14:59the doctor stood by the bed
15:01crying quietly
15:03the man from earlier walked over
15:06and let out a long
15:08heavy sigh
15:13her family just won't believe it
15:15they even hung up on the police
15:17what do we do now

15:31so small
15:32and yet she already know what death means
15:36i have to be the one to handle my own mother's death certificate
15:42with the doctor's help
15:44i followed them all night
15:47finally
15:47i was given a piece of paper
15:58the staff moved mommy and my brother
16:01into a large freezer
16:02and sent them to the funeral home
16:07a man at the funeral home told me
16:10that cremation costs money
16:11he asked if i had any
16:14i did
16:15i had money in my piggy bank
16:20i could go home and get it
16:23i caught a taxi back to our house
16:26it was completely empty
16:29daddy hadn't come home all night
16:31if mommy knew
16:33but mommy will never know anything anymore
16:36i ran into my room
16:38grabbed my piggy bank
16:39and headed for the door
16:40but as i walked out
16:41i ran straight into daddy
16:43i bumped into him
16:44and my piggy bank slipped from my hands
16:46it shattered on the floor
16:47and coins and bills scattered everywhere
16:49where are you going with all that money
16:54mommy still needs money
16:55i didn't answer daddy
16:57i just scrambled onto my knees
16:58to pick up the coins as fast as i could
17:00daddy got angry because i was ignoring him
17:03he jerks me toward him
17:04his voice getting louder and meaner
17:06i'm asking you a question
17:08what do you do with this money
17:09and where is your mother
17:10why isn't she home
17:12right then
17:13a white piece of paper slips out of my pocket
17:17dad grabs it
17:19the second he sees what's on it
17:21his eyes turn bloodshot with rage
17:23what is this
17:24did your mother give you this too
17:26i looked up at him
17:27it was the death certificate
17:28the lady doctor gave me
17:30i told him the truth
17:31mommy didn't give it to me
17:33the doctor did
17:34daddy's hands began to shake
17:45he pulled out his phone to call mommy again
17:47but then he looked down and saw the bloodstains in the living room
17:51daddy started to shake
17:54he stumbled toward the bedroom and ripped the door open
17:59i could feel him trembling so hard
18:03he stood there for a long long time
18:08then all of a sudden
18:10he collapsed onto the floor
18:12even though he's mean to me
18:14he's still my daddy
18:20i went over to him
18:24daddy
18:24what's wrong
18:26he grabbed my shoulders so hard
18:28his eyes looked like they were going to pop out
18:30his voice was raw and broken
18:32mia
18:34where is your mother
18:35right now
18:41the makeup artist did mommy's makeup
18:43lying in the ice coffin
18:45she looked just like sleeping beauty
18:47i pressed my hand against the glass
18:49if only i could reach out and touch her face one last time
18:53suddenly a loud crash echoed behind me
18:55i turned around and saw uncle
18:57he punched daddy right in the face
18:58knocking him to the floor
18:59how could my sister be dead
19:02you told me she was just acting
19:04daddy didn't even try to fight back
19:06ever since i brought him here
19:08he's been like a different person
19:10when he first saw mommy's body
19:13he started laughing like a crazy person
19:15then
19:16the tears started falling
19:18looking at daddy's face
19:20i knew he was sad
19:22every time he and mommy used to fight
19:24mommy would look just like that
19:27hiding in her room and crying quietly
19:29whenever i asked her if she was okay
19:31she always said she was fine
19:36staff members quickly pulled daddy and uncle apart
19:38the two of them sat on the floor
19:40looking completely broken
19:42uncle cursed at daddy for a while
19:44and then he started cursing at himself
19:45she called me too
19:47her voice sounded so wrong
19:49but i didn't think twice
19:51i really thought it was like years ago
19:53that she was just jealous of you and megan
19:56i was so scared of history repeating itself
20:00i should have believed her
20:02she was my sister
20:05they said
20:08if just one of us had come to look
20:10if just one of us had signed the papers
20:12jack you and i
20:15we are both such damn bastards
20:18it wasn't until mommy and my brother were being pushed into the furnace
20:23that i realized what creamtation really meant
20:25they were going to burn mommy away
20:29no i couldn't let them
20:32even if mommy couldn't talk to me anymore
20:34i didn't want her to disappear forever
20:36mommy mommy
20:38i ran toward the furnace
20:40trying to save her
20:41but daddy caught me and held me tight
20:43he kept calling my name
20:46mia
20:47mia
20:51daddy had never called my name like that before
20:57they burned mommy and my brother
20:59and then they buried them in the ground
21:02daddy held my hand and told me that mommy lives here now
21:05he said if i miss her i can come visit
21:08i nodded even though i i didn't quite understood
21:11and went home with him
21:13but as soon as we opened the door
21:15megan was there
21:19jack i heard about chloe
21:21it's all my fault
21:22i shouldn't have let you stay for winnie's birthday
21:25i don't know why
21:26but every time she speaks
21:28it makes me feel sick
21:30daddy looked at her with so much pity
21:34this has nothing to do with you
21:35if anyone is to blame
21:36it's her for setting that trap years ago
21:38and forcing you to have the baby and move abroad
21:41megan don't blame yourself
21:48actually i forgave chloe for that a long time ago
21:51i was the one who
21:53didn't hide my feelings for you well enough
21:56chloe only faked her kidnapping because she was jealous
22:00just because that man was close to chloe
22:02doesn't mean she told him to hurt me
22:04jack can you please let it go too
22:06she kept saying she didn't care
22:08but she made sure to bring it up over and over again
22:12usually daddy would agree and say he'd never forget what happened
22:16but this time he just nodded quietly
22:21megan's eyes flickered for a second
22:23then she smiled
22:24now that chloe is gone
22:26a man like you
22:27won't know how to raise a child on his own
22:29why don't we all live together
22:33i can help you take care of mia
22:35mia wouldn't it be nice if we all lived together
22:37she turned to me with a smile
22:39and reached out to pinch my cheek
22:41i thought about the way
22:42she hadn't hesitated to drive those scissors
22:45into winnie's arm that day
22:47i took two big steps back
22:49let's talk about that later
22:51daddy patted my hair
22:52but he didn't say yes
22:53even though daddy turned her down
22:55megan wasn't angry
22:56she stayed anyway
22:57saying she wanted to look after us for a few days
23:00daddy was in a bad mood
23:02and just muttered a few words
23:03before heading to his room
23:04i wanted to go to my room too
23:07but winnie grabbed me
23:09play with me
23:11i couldn't help it
23:13i ran to my room
23:15but megan followed me inside
23:17mia
23:18how could you be so rude to your sister
23:20i told her i don't want to play
23:23my mommy told me not to talk to either of you
23:26oh
23:27it sounds like you've already forgotten the lesson i taught you
23:31before i could even react
23:32she grabbed a glass from the table
23:33and smashed it hard against winnie's head
23:35blood started pouring down winnie's forehead
23:37and she let out a piercing scream
23:39it was happening all over again
23:40the same horrific scene
23:42i stared at megan
23:43frozen in shock
23:43if you don't start listening to me
23:45i'll make sure your daddy kicks you out on the street
23:48that smile vanished the second daddy walked in
23:50megan pulled winnie into her arms
23:51and started sobbing
23:52even if you hate us
23:53you shouldn't hurt people like this
23:55daddy's face turned very strange
23:57jack maybe it's better if winnie and i just leave
23:59he didn't rush over to comfort them
24:01like he usually did
24:02there's a security camera in this room
24:04every bit of color drained from megan's face
24:07instantly
24:09she bit her lip
24:09her voice trembling

24:24jack i'm not as big-hearted as you think i am
24:26every time i look at this child
24:28i'm reminded of what chloe did to me
24:29you were supposed to love me
24:31if she hadn't drugged me and forced me to leave
24:33i would be the one who had a child with you
24:35she stole everything from me
24:38and her daughter is stealing everything from mine
24:40so what if i get a little revenge

25:15daddy spoke with so much conviction
25:17you could see how much he loved mommy in his eyes
25:21but daddy
25:22if only you could have said these things
25:24while mommy was still alive
25:26megan's face turned even paler
25:28twisted with shock and resentment
25:29just as she was about to snap back
25:32daddy's phone rang in his pocket
25:33he pulled it out and answered
25:35i couldn't hear who was on the other end
25:37but i watched daddy's expression go from cold
25:39to completely lifeless
25:41he hung up
25:42picked me up without a word
25:43and walked straight out the door
25:45he didn't even look back
25:47leaving megan behind to scream and sob in the empty house
25:51like this
