She Lost Her Ability to Walk Saving Him… Then He Turned Her Pain Into a Joke!! | FULL MOVIE ENDING!! — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00My boyfriend Grant made a bet with my
- 0:02best friend Tessa and their stakes were
- 0:04my mother's surgery money. He tied my
- 0:07phone to the ceiling fan with fishing
- 0:09line then flipped the switch.
- 0:11>> Reach it and I'll pay for your mother's
- 0:12surgery or I'll just give this money to
- 0:14Tessa instead.
- 0:16>> No, please.
- 0:17I stretched as far as I could for the
- 0:19phone, lost my balance and crashed
- 0:22sideways onto the tile.
- 0:24>> Aw.
- 0:26Guess you failed.
- 0:27>> She plucked the phone off the floor and
- 0:29typed in the transfer password right in
- 0:31front of me.
- 0:32>> Thanks for that.
- 0:33>> Blame your bad luck.
- 0:34>> On their way out, Grant paused to right
- 0:36my overturned wheelchair, but he even
- 0:39didn't look at me. No, Grant, please
- 0:42help me up. I can't I begged, but all I
- 0:44got in answer was the front door
- 0:46clicking shut behind them, their voices
- 0:48fading into the hallway. I'd been in
- 0:50this chair since I was 18, the year I
- 0:53threw myself in front of a speeding car
- 0:55to shove Grant out of its path. I never
- 0:57walked again since then. They knew
- 0:59exactly all about it, but still treated
- 1:02me like a joke. I knelt there alone on
- 1:04the floor and called 20 different cabs
- 1:07before one agreed to wait for me. By the
- 1:09time I got home, the living room was
- 1:11dark. I pushed open my mom's bedroom
- 1:13door. She was lying on the bed, not
- 1:15moving.
- 1:16>> Mom!
- 1:17>> I wheeled myself to the bed and knelt
- 1:19beside the bed.
- 1:20>> Mom, I'm sorry. I couldn't get the money
- 1:22together in time.
- 1:23>> I was already choking on sobs when a
- 1:26balloon popped, loud as a gunshot.
- 1:28>> Surprise! We got you.
- 1:30>> I froze, staring at them blankly.
- 1:33>> What, you're not laughing? Wasn't the
- 1:34surprise fun?
- 1:35>> Gracie, Tessa spent days planning this
- 1:38and your mom's fine, isn't she? So,
- 1:40who's the long face for?
- 1:42>> I looked up at my mom, sitting up in bed
- 1:45with that same strained ingratiating
- 1:48smile.
- 1:49>> Gracie, honey.
- 1:51Grant said this is some prank young
- 1:53people do these days. I don't really get
- 1:55it, either.
- 1:56>> Her smile wavered. The medical bill,
- 1:59that's how it was. My heart dropped into
- 2:01ice water. So, you agreed to fake your
- 2:04own death to scare me with them?
- 2:07>> I I didn't have a choice, baby. The
- 2:09hospital's been pushing hard. Grant said
- 2:12if I played along tonight, he'd send the
- 2:13money right away.
- 2:15>> Grace Ashworth, you really think you're
- 2:17something special?
- 2:19If Grant weren't so kind, who else would
- 2:21keep dumping money into your family's
- 2:22bottomless pit? It was just a joke. You
- 2:26got 50 grand for free and you're still
- 2:27crying about it?
- 2:30>> Grant,
- 2:31is that what you think, too?
- 2:33>> Can you stop blowing everything out of
- 2:34proportion? You used to be so easygoing.
- 2:37When did you get so sensitive?
- 2:3950 grand isn't nothing, Gracie. Tessa
- 2:41just wanted to liven up the mood with a
- 2:42bet. What's the harm in that?
- 2:44>> My eyes went wet. Back in college, my
- 2:47wheelchair got stuck on a curb outside
- 2:49the library in the pouring rain. Grant
- 2:51ran out with an umbrella and half his
- 2:53body soaked through before he thought to
- 2:55hold it over me. Not one drop touched
- 2:58me.
- 2:58>> Gracie,
- 3:00as long as I'm around, I'll never let
- 3:02you suffer.
- 3:03Not even a little.
- 3:05>> I don't know when it started to change.
- 3:07Maybe it was when Tessa came back. She
- 3:09was able-bodied, beautiful, full of
- 3:12life. She'd bring Grant water when he
- 3:14played basketball, drag him off skiing,
- 3:17bungee jumping, and I'd just sit in my
- 3:19chair, a boring bystander. At first,
- 3:22they only complained a little in front
- 3:24of me. Too bad Gracie can't come. Then
- 3:26the jokes turned uglier. They'd hide my
- 3:28crutches and watch me panic, sweating.
- 3:31They'd mix hot sauce into my food and
- 3:33laugh while I choked, eyes streaming.
- 3:36Every time I got angry, Grant shut me
- 3:38down the same way.
- 3:40>> It's just a joke. That's just how Tessa
- 3:42is. Don't be so petty.
- 3:43>> Now they were joking about my mother's
- 3:45life. Where's the money? Did you send
- 3:47it?
- 3:48>> What's the rush? I'm sending it right
- 3:51now.
- 3:52Oops. Grant, I accidentally sent it to
- 3:54your account.
- 3:55>> When are you going to fix that
- 3:56scatterbrained habit of yours? Gracie,
- 3:58it's too late tonight. I hit my transfer
- 4:00limit. I'll send it to your mom
- 4:01tomorrow.
- 4:01>> I them both down. How many times had
- 4:04they run this same tired trick?
- 4:07>> I want you to send it right now, Grace
- 4:09Ashby.
- 4:10Don't push your luck. Don't think that
- 4:11just because you saved me once, you get
- 4:13to treat me like your personal ATM. That
- 4:16dead, sour face of yours makes me sick
- 4:18to look at.
- 4:19>> Grant, don't be mad. Grace is just
- 4:21anxious. I mean, she's disabled. It's
- 4:23easy for her to spiral.
- 4:26Grace, if you just beg Grant nicely,
- 4:28make him happy, maybe he'll find a way
- 4:30to send it tonight.
- 4:32>> Beg how?
- 4:33>> Eat that piece on the floor. Say thank
- 4:35you, Grant, for the gift. How about
- 4:37that?
- 4:39>> When she cut the cake earlier, she'd let
- 4:41a piece lip. It landed on the tile,
- 4:43covered in dust, and in the blood from
- 4:46my knee.
- 4:47>> Tessa, honey, you can't She can't eat
- 4:48something off the floor.
- 4:50>> Mrs. Ashby,
- 4:51do you still want that 50 grand or not?
- 4:53>> Tessa's voice was light. It nailed my
- 4:55mother to the spot. Mom's eyes welled
- 4:58up. She turned her face away, unable to
- 5:00look at me. Grant looked down at me and
- 5:02didn't stop it. For a second, something
- 5:05almost flickered across his face, like
- 5:07he wanted to say it was enough. He
- 5:08didn't. I looked at that cake, blood
- 5:11mixed into the frosting, and my stomach
- 5:13turned over.
- 5:15>> Grant, do you really think I can't live
- 5:17without you?
- 5:18>> Why else? You're a triple who can't even
- 5:20walk. Besides me, who else would want
- 5:22you?
- 5:22>> Tessa laughed along with him, delighted,
- 5:25like he'd said something clever. I
- 5:27didn't answer. I just looked at the two
- 5:29of them and filed that sentence away
- 5:31someplace quiet. I'd make him eat it,
- 5:34word for word, one day.
- 5:36>> I'll eat it.
- 5:36>> I pushed myself along the floor with
- 5:38both hands, crawling toward the cake.
- 5:41>> Smile, Grace. This is your big moment.
- 5:43>> I didn't look at the camera. I grabbed
- 5:45the sticky mess of frosting and shoved
- 5:47it in my mouth. Sweet, rotten, gritty
- 5:50with dust. [laughter]
- 5:51I forced it down, fighting the urge to
- 5:53gag.
- 5:54>> Thank you, Grant, for the gift.
- 5:56>> A smile froze on his face. He hadn't
- 5:58expected me to actually go through with
- 6:00it.
- 6:02>> Enough. That's disgusting. Tomorrow
- 6:04morning, 8:00 a.m., the money hits your
- 6:06mom's account.
- 6:07>> Bye, Grace. See you tomorrow.
- 6:10Mom finally broke.
- 6:12>> Gracie.
- 6:14>> I'm sorry, Mom. I'm so sorry. I'm
- 6:16useless.
- 6:19Mom,
- 6:20clean up the floor.
- 6:22Get some sleep.
- 6:23>> The next morning, I wheeled myself to
- 6:25the hospital. Mom's surgery was
- 6:27scheduled for the afternoon, but by
- 6:29noon, the billing system still showed
- 6:32unpaid. I called Grant. Phone off. I
- 6:35called Tessa. It rang a dozen times
- 6:37before she picked up.
- 6:38>> Hello?
- 6:39>> Grace, what's up?
- 6:40>> The 50 grand never came through.
- 6:44>> Grant didn't tell you? It's my birthday
- 6:45today. He chartered a yacht. We're out
- 6:47celebrating. That 50 grand, Grant spent
- 6:49it yesterday. Bought me a limited
- 6:50edition necklace.
- 6:52>> My breath caught. My head went fuzzy
- 6:54with static.
- 6:56Tessa, that was money TO SAVE A LIFE!
- 6:59>> Who's calling?
- 7:00>> It's Grace. Nagging about the money
- 7:02again.
- 7:03>> A few more days won't kill her. Tell her
- 7:04to quit being a buzzkill.
- 7:06>> The call ended. I stared at the dark
- 7:08screen, and a wave of despair crashed
- 7:11over me. Total and complete. When I
- 7:13first lost the use of my leg, Grant sat
- 7:16by my hospital bed day and night. Did
- 7:18time change him? Or was this who he
- 7:21always was, and I'd simply never needed
- 7:23[sighs] to find out?
- 7:25>> Ms. Ashweed, if the payment doesn't
- 7:27clear today, we'll have to cancel the
- 7:29surgery. Your mother's condition can't
- 7:31wait any longer.
- 7:32>> Can you give us one more day? I'll find
- 7:34the money. I swear.
- 7:37>> We can't, Ms. Ashley.
- 7:38>> I wheeled myself out of the hospital.
- 7:41The sun outside was blinding, but I felt
- 7:43cold all over. I dialed a number buried
- 7:46in my contacts, dust on it practically.
- 7:49Mr. Grady, that thing you asked me about
- 7:51before, I'm still willing.
- 7:53The man on the other end laughed.
- 7:55Gracie.
- 7:56>> Ms. Ashweed finally came around. Price
- 7:59has changed, though. 30 grand's the best
- 8:01I can do. Those legs of yours don't
- 8:03work, but everything else still does.
- 8:04That's worth something to the right
- 8:06buyer.
- 8:06>> Fine.
- 8:08Tonight, 9:00 p.m. Private Room, the
- 8:10Onyx Lounge.
- 8:11>> I hung up and went straight to the
- 8:12pharmacy, bought a bottle of sleeping
- 8:14pills, went home and changed into a
- 8:16clean white dress, the one that covered
- 8:18my ruined legs, the one Grant used to
- 8:21love, the one he said made me look like
- 8:23an angel. Now the angel was headed to
- 8:25hell. 8:30 that night, I showed up right
- 8:28on time outside the bar. No wheelchair.
- 8:31I hobbled in on crutches, one step at a
- 8:33time, every step lighting my spine on
- 8:36fire. The private room door opened.
- 8:38Grady sat in the middle of the couch, a
- 8:41girl on each arm.
- 8:43>> Well, look who it is. Gorgeous Miss
- 8:45Ashby, come sit next to me.
- 8:47>> I walked over, stiff. The table was
- 8:50covered in empty bottles. Grady poured a
- 8:52full glass and handed it to me.
- 8:54>> You know the rules.
- 8:56One glass, a grand.
- 8:58>> I looked at the amber liquid and didn't
- 9:00hesitate.
- 9:01>> Yeah! There we go.
- 9:03>> One glass,
- 9:04two,
- 9:04three. My mind started to blur. My
- 9:07stomach cramping in waves, cold sweat
- 9:10breaking out across my back. Just as I
- 9:12was about TO COLLAPSE
- 9:13>> GRACE ASHBY! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK
- 9:16YOU'RE DOING IN HERE?
- 9:17>> GRANT stood in the doorway, face like a
- 9:19storm cloud. Tessa stood behind him. The
- 9:22whole room went silent.
- 9:23>> Well, if it isn't Grant Harrington
- 9:25himself. Here to steal my girl?
- 9:28>> Grady, she's mine. Keep your hands off
- 9:30her.
- 9:31>> Yours?
- 9:32She sold herself to me. 30 grand, clear
- 9:35as day.
- 9:36If you want to take her, fine. Pay up
- 9:38first.
- 9:39>> 30 grand? You came to a place like this
- 9:42for 30 grand? Grace, DO YOU HAVE ANY
- 9:45SHAME left at all?
- 9:46>> I lifted my heavy eyelids and looked at
- 9:48his furious face. It was almost funny.
- 9:51He was the one who'd cut off my mother's
- 9:53surgery money, and now he was here
- 9:55playing moral guardian. I don't have any
- 9:58shame left.
- 9:59I just want my mother to live.
- 10:03Let's continue.
- 10:05>> You're coming with me.
- 10:07>> He dragged me out like I was garbage. My
- 10:09crutch clattered to the floor. I hit the
- 10:12ground.
- 10:13>> Grant, don't. Grace's leg.
- 10:15>> Tessa fake pleaded, hand clasped to her
- 10:17chest like she was the one in pain.
- 10:19>> Bad legs and she still knows how to sell
- 10:21herself? Sounds like she's just starved
- 10:23for a man.
- 10:25>> Down to the parking garage. He shoved me
- 10:27into the passenger seat.
- 10:29>> 30 grand. I'll give it to you. But
- 10:31tonight, you're going to show me you're
- 10:33worth every cent.
- 10:35>> The car shot forward like an arrow.
- 10:37Without Tessa, the car filled with a
- 10:40suffocating silence. I watched the city
- 10:42lights blur past the window while the
- 10:44pain in my stomach kept building. I
- 10:47swallowed down the sweet metallic taste
- 10:49rising in my throat. Before long, the
- 10:52car stopped in front of an abandoned
- 10:53warehouse. We used to explore this place
- 10:55together.
- 10:57>> You want money? Fine. THIS IS WHAT YOU
- 10:58WANTED.
- 10:59>> Bills scattered across the ground. My
- 11:01mouth hit gravel and started bleeding.
- 11:04>> Pick it up. Don't you love money? Crawl
- 11:06around like a dog and pick it up.
- 11:08>> I took a deep breath, forced down the
- 11:10pain, and braced my hands against the
- 11:12dirt. One bill, two, three.
- 11:15Expressionless, I gathered them up.
- 11:17>> Grace, do you have to push me like this?
- 11:20>> You pushed me first, Grant. Does
- 11:22torturing me like this make you feel
- 11:23powerful? Does that feel good?
- 11:25>> Think whatever you want. Take the money
- 11:26and get out of my sight. Tomorrow I'll
- 11:28have my assistant wire you the rest.
- 11:30>> He was actually going to leave me out
- 11:32here, alone, in the middle of nowhere.
- 11:35No wheelchair, no crutches. With legs
- 11:38that don't work, there was no way I
- 11:40could get back on my own. The world went
- 11:42dark and silent, save for the wind
- 11:45howling somewhere far off. I touched the
- 11:47pill bottle in my pocket. Truth is, back
- 11:50at that last drink at the bar, I'd
- 11:51already dumped half the bottle in. Grady
- 11:54never noticed. Neither did Grant. The
- 11:56drugs were starting to hit. My mind grew
- 11:58hazier, my whole body weightless. I lay
- 12:01back on the cold dirt and looked up at
- 12:03the thin scatter of stars. Grant, you
- 12:06always said I couldn't take a joke. This
- 12:08time, let me play one on you. Hope you
- 12:10You the surprise. Mom, let me go scout
- 12:12the road ahead for you first. The next
- 12:14afternoon at Grant's place, he sat on
- 12:17the couch with his phone in hand, the
- 12:19screen still open to our chat.
- 12:21>> She still hasn't called to beg?
- 12:23>> No.
- 12:24>> Probably still throwing a tantrum. Used
- 12:26to be, leave her on the side of the
- 12:28road, she'd be crying on the phone in
- 12:29half an hour. But that was before, I
- 12:31guess. She's got some backbone now.
- 12:34Grant, though, you left her alone in
- 12:36that warehouse all night. Nothing's
- 12:38going to happen to her, right?
- 12:39>> What could happen? Sure, it's out of the
- 12:41way, but once the sun's up, she'll run
- 12:43into somebody.
- 12:45Besides, she's the one who wanted to go
- 12:46sell herself. She's got it coming.
- 12:50>> Grant, stop thinking about her.
- 12:53Tonight, let's call some friends. Throw
- 12:55another party on your new yacht?
- 12:57>> For the first time, Grant didn't play
- 13:00along with her.
- 13:01>> I've got a bad feeling. Can't shake it.
- 13:04Let me call her.
- 13:05>> The number you have dialed is no longer
- 13:07in service.
- 13:08>> Turned off.
- 13:09Did her phone just die?
- 13:10>> Ugh, forget her. She's doing it on
- 13:12purpose, trying to get your attention.
- 13:14Playing hard to get. Classic. Only she'd
- 13:17pull something like this.
- 13:19>> Guess you're right. Come on, let's get
- 13:20changed.
- 13:21>> 8:00 p.m. The yacht lit up bright, music
- 13:24blasting. Grant, surrounded by friends,
- 13:27drink after drink. But something was
- 13:29off. He seemed distracted, kept glancing
- 13:32at his phone.
- 13:34>> Grant, waiting on a call from your girl?
- 13:36>> Screw off. Who's waiting for her?
- 13:39>> [laughter]
- 13:40>> But seriously, that move last night was
- 13:42brutal. Dumping a [ __ ] out in the
- 13:44boonies, that's a hell of a punishment.
- 13:46>> That's when the yacht's PA system let
- 13:48out a sharp burst of static. The music
- 13:50cut out. Everyone froze.
- 13:52>> Good evening, everyone. I'm Marcus Reed,
- 13:55Miss Grace Ashby's attorney.
- 13:57>> What the hell is Grace playing at?
- 13:59>> On behalf of my client, I'm here to read
- 14:01an important statement. It's also her
- 14:03will.
- 14:04>> The [clears throat] whole deck erupted.
- 14:06Grant, isn't Grace taking this a little
- 14:08far? Faking a will just to scare you?
- 14:11Grant's face went dark. He He nothing.
- 14:14>> Per Miss Ashby's final wishes, she
- 14:16recorded a video and instructed me to
- 14:18release it to the press and the police
- 14:2148 hours after her death is confirmed.
- 14:24>> What does that mean?
- 14:25>> He shoved past the people next to him
- 14:27and ran for the cockpit.
- 14:29>> CUT THE BROADCAST NOW!
- 14:31>> BUT THE CONTROL panel had already been
- 14:33locked. The big screen flickered on.
- 14:37>> Grant, Tessa,
- 14:39if you're watching this, I'm already
- 14:40dead.
- 14:42These past few years, everything you did
- 14:44to me, calling it a joke, all the abuse,
- 14:47all the bullying, I recorded every bit
- 14:49of it with hidden cameras.
- 14:51And in case either of you have
- 14:52forgotten, these legs, this chair, I
- 14:56gave that up years ago pushing Grant
- 14:57Halton out of the path of a car that
- 14:59should have killed him. And this is how
- 15:01he chose to pay the debt.
- 15:02>> The screen cut to footage. Them forcing
- 15:04me to eat the bloody cake, making me
- 15:06crawl through the rain, Grant dragging
- 15:09me through the bar and dumping me at the
- 15:10warehouse, one clip after another.
- 15:13>> Everyone [snorts]
- 15:14on the yacht gasped.
- 15:15>> I've already sent every piece of
- 15:16evidence to the press and the police.
- 15:19Consider it my last surprise.
- 15:21Just for you two.
- 15:23>> Impossible.
- 15:25How could she?
- 15:25>> It's fake! She must HAVE DOCTORED IT.
- 15:28GRANT, GET SOMEONE TO BURY this before
- 15:29it trends.
- 15:30>> That's when it happened. An officer's
- 15:32voice came through a megaphone.
- 15:34>> Grant Harrington, Tessa Whitlock, you're
- 15:37both suspected of assault and
- 15:39abandonment resulting in death. We found
- 15:41Grace Ashbury's body in an abandoned
- 15:43warehouse on the west side. Stand down
- 15:46immediately and cooperate with the
- 15:47investigation.
- 15:49>> Body?
- 15:51>> It's impossible! Officers, you've got
- 15:53this wrong. She's a liar. She loves
- 15:55playing the victim to trick people.
- 15:58Grant, say something. Tell them Grace is
- 15:59faking it.
- 16:00>> She grabbed his shoulders and shook him,
- 16:02desperate. Grant just sat there, a
- 16:04puppet with no strings left. The Coast
- 16:07Guard boarded. Cold metal clicked shut
- 16:09around Grant's wrist. That touch finally
- 16:12snapped him back.
- 16:13>> Wait! I want to see her. Take me to see
- 16:16her.
- 16:17>> Save the tears for when you see the
- 16:18coffin.
- 16:19>> [snorts and clears throat]
- 16:20>> Get him out of here.
- 16:21>> The interrogation room. Fluorescent
- 16:23light stinging bright. Grant sat in the
- 16:25chair shaking all over. The detective
- 16:28slapped down a set of crime scene photos
- 16:30in front of him. Take a good look.
- 16:33This is your masterpiece.
- 16:34>> In the photo I was wearing that white
- 16:37dress lying quiet in the dirt. The hem
- 16:39soaked through with mud and blood.
- 16:42>> Preliminary autopsy says cause of death
- 16:44was a sleeping pill overdose combined
- 16:46with a severe stomach perforation and
- 16:48hypothermia.
- 16:50She suffered for at least 3 hours before
- 16:52she died. And you two just dumped a
- 16:54woman who couldn't even walk out in the
- 16:55middle of nowhere.
- 16:59>> Gracie.
- 17:01How did this happen? I only left her
- 17:03there one night. I left her money. I
- 17:05left 30 grand.
- 17:07>> 30 grand?
- 17:08That 30 grand was scattered all around
- 17:10her, blown everywhere by the wind.
- 17:12>> When she died all she had clutched in
- 17:14her hand was a note.
- 17:15>> When you wrote her back in college.
- 17:17>> He slid over a clear evidence bag.
- 17:19Inside a yellowed sticky note. The
- 17:22second he saw that note, whatever was
- 17:24left of Grant broke completely.
- 17:30>> I'm sorry, Gracie. I'm sorry. I didn't
- 17:33know you'd die. I swear I just wanted to
- 17:35piss you off.
- 17:36>> Save it.
- 17:38Tell it to the judge.
- 17:39>> Next door, Tessa was just as hysterical.
- 17:42>> I'm innocent. This was all Grant. HE'S
- 17:45THE ONE WHO DUMPED HER OUT THERE. IT HAS
- 17:46nothing to do with me. LET ME GO. I'M A
- 17:48WHITLOCK. YOU CAN'T ARREST ME.
- 17:50>> The police played the security footage
- 17:53expressionless.
- 17:55>> Grant, you're really not taking her
- 17:56back? You know, that [ __ ] might
- 17:58freeze to death out there.
- 18:00Then again, maybe that's for the best.
- 18:02At least she'll stop playing the I saved
- 18:03your life card every time she wants
- 18:05money out of you.
- 18:06>> Tessa Whitlock, your actions make you an
- 18:09accomplice.
- 18:11And we've looked into Grace Ashby's
- 18:12mother's medical account. 1 hour before
- 18:15Grace died, you intercepted a $50,000
- 18:17transfer meant for her mother's surgery.
- 18:20That delay cost her mother the surgery
- 18:22window. She was pronounced dead at 8:00
- 18:24this morning.
- 18:25>> Grant heard it through the wall. He went
- 18:27feral. He slammed himself against the
- 18:29interrogation ROOM WALL.
- 18:30>> TESSA,
- 18:31YOU [ __ ] I'LL KILL YOU!
- 18:34>> ONLINE, the story had already exploded.
- 18:37The scheduled emails I'd set up released
- 18:39every piece of evidence to the public,
- 18:41and my name took over every trending
- 18:44topic. Grant's company stock hit the
- 18:46floor the second the market opened. The
- 18:48board called an emergency meeting
- 18:50overnight and stripped Grant of every
- 18:52title he had. His father was so furious
- 18:55he had a stroke and landed in the ICU.
- 18:57The Whitlocks, scrambling to save
- 18:59themselves, issued a statement cutting
- 19:01all ties with Tessa.
- 19:03>> Two days later, the investigation
- 19:05results came out. With the evidence
- 19:07airtight, Grant and Tessa were formally
- 19:09charged.
- 19:10>> The day they got transferred to county,
- 19:12it poured rain.
- 19:14>> Mr. Harrington, any comment on driving
- 19:16your girlfriend who saved your life to
- 19:17her death? Did you really think it was
- 19:18all just a joke?
- 19:23>> I deserve to die. I'm the one who has no
- 19:25right to be alive.
- 19:27>> Life in prison was true hell for Grant.
- 19:30Every night brought nightmares. He
- 19:31dreamed of me dragging my bleeding legs,
- 19:34crawling toward him. Dreamed of me
- 19:36chewing that bloody cake, smiling at
- 19:38him.
- 19:40Grant, the cake's so sweet.
- 19:43>> One day, the lawyer Marcus Reed
- 19:45requested a visit. Through the glass,
- 19:47Grant looked 10 years older.
- 19:49>> Mr. Harrington, Miss Ashby asked me to
- 19:51give you this before she died.
- 19:53>> Grant took it with shaking hands. He
- 19:55opened to the first page. The first
- 19:57entry was dated the day I came home from
- 19:59the hospital after the car accident.
- 20:02They keep asking if I regret it. I
- 20:04don't. Not even now, lying here, unable
- 20:07to feel my own legs.
- 20:09Grant is alive.
- 20:11That's the only ledger I need balanced.
- 20:14It rained today.
- 20:15Grant caught a cold holding the umbrella
- 20:17for me instead of himself. He's such an
- 20:20idiot. But I love him so much.
- 20:23I wish my legs still worked. I want to
- 20:25run with him. Grant's tears came
- 20:27instantly, dripping onto the page,
- 20:29smearing the ink. He flipped forward,
- 20:32eager. But the tone started shifting
- 20:34after Tessa came back. Tessa's back.
- 20:37She's so pretty.
- 20:39The way Grant looks at her, it's the
- 20:41same way he used to look at me.
- 20:43Today they wheeled my chair right to the
- 20:45top of the stairs. I almost fell.
- 20:47Grant said he just wanted to build up my
- 20:49nerve. He has no idea how scared I was.
- 20:54He's changed. Disgusted by the
- 20:56disability on me now. Annoyed by how
- 20:58much trouble I am.
- 21:00I know I'm a burden.
- 21:02But I can't bring myself to leave him.
- 21:04The handwriting grew messier toward the
- 21:06end. The pages stained with dried drops
- 21:09of tears. Mom's condition is getting
- 21:11worse again.
- 21:13I have to get that 50 grand. Grant made
- 21:15me eat cake off the floor.
- 21:17In that moment, the Grant I loved died.
- 21:20For good.
- 21:22>> [snorts]
- 21:22>> I bought the pills. Once Mom's surgery
- 21:25is paid for, I'm leaving. I don't blame
- 21:27him. I was just too greedy, wanting a
- 21:29warmth that was never mine to keep.
- 21:31Grant clutched the diary and let out a
- 21:33scream like something tearing.
- 21:35>> GRACIE, I WAS WRONG. I WAS SO WRONG.
- 21:39>> MR. HARRINGTON.
- 21:41MS. Ashley's funeral is tomorrow. Her
- 21:43final wishes were specific. Neither you
- 21:45nor anyone from the Whitlock family gets
- 21:47anywhere near her grave.
- 21:51>> Let me see her one last time. Please,
- 21:53Marcus, let me go. I'll kneel for her.
- 21:55I'll beg her forgiveness.
- 21:56>> Too late. You ground her dignity into
- 21:59the floor while she was alive, and now
- 22:00you want to play the grieving, devoted
- 22:02man?
- 22:03For whose benefit, Mr. Harrington? Hers
- 22:05or yours?
- 22:06>> The next day, my funeral was held at
- 22:09cemetery. The sky still drizzled, like
- 22:11it was seeing me off, too. Barely anyone
- 22:14came. Just Marcus and a few disabled
- 22:16kids I used to sponsor. Just as they
- 22:18were about to lower the urn into the
- 22:20ground, a black car pulled up outside
- 22:23the gate. Grant stumbled out,
- 22:24handcuffed, Two guards trailing behind
- 22:27him.
- 22:29This was the one visit he'd earned. One
- 22:32through a hunger strike.
- 22:34>> Gracie, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I came too
- 22:37late. I brought you your favorite velvet
- 22:39cake, stood in line at that place
- 22:40forever.
- 22:42Eat up, Gracie. This one's clean, I
- 22:43promise. Get up and hit me, curse me
- 22:46out, anything. Just don't ignore me.
- 22:50>> Time's up, Grant. We need to go.
- 22:52>> I'M NOT LEAVING. I'M STAYING WITH HER.
- 22:55SHE'LL BE SCARED DOWN THERE ALONE. She's
- 22:58scared OF THE DARK, SCARED OF THE COLD.
- 23:00LET'S GO WITH ME. LET ME BE WITH HER.
- 23:02>> Only after they forced a sedative into
- 23:04him did he finally go still. As they
- 23:07dragged him away, his eyes stayed locked
- 23:09on my photo, lips still moving.
- 23:12>> Gracie.
- 23:14Wait for me.
- 23:15>> Raised on money and comfort her whole
- 23:17life, prison was worse than death for
- 23:19Tessa. Word got around the cell block
- 23:21about how her cruelty over the surgery
- 23:24money had killed my mother, and there's
- 23:26nothing in mates hate more than someone
- 23:28who preys on a defenseless old woman.
- 23:31Every time she went out to the yard,
- 23:33something happened to her. Dirt and bugs
- 23:35mixed into her food, locked in a cold
- 23:38shower for hours at a time, her hair
- 23:40hacked off in her sleep, my cat getting
- 23:43chewed up.
- 23:46>> Do you know who I am?
- 23:48My father's the chairman of Whitlock
- 23:49Group.
- 23:52Whitlock Group? Girl, you're still
- 23:54dreaming.
- 23:56Haven't you heard?
- 23:57The whole world's changed out there.
- 23:59>> The headline: Whitlock Group under
- 24:01investigation for tax fraud, faces
- 24:04massive fines, files for bankruptcy. The
- 24:07photo showed Tessa's father being led
- 24:09into A POLICE CAR.
- 24:11>> IMPOSSIBLE! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!
- 24:14>> Tessa was completely [laughter]
- 24:15broken now. She sank to the floor and
- 24:17let the women beat her, kick her. Her
- 24:20mind started to crack.
- 24:22>> Grace isn't dead. She's watching me.
- 24:24She's come back for my life. She's
- 24:26dragging ME DOWN TO HELL.
- 24:27>> Three months later, the final verdict
- 24:30came down. Grant Harrington, guilty of
- 24:32assault and criminal abandonment,
- 24:34sentenced to 15 years. Tessa Whitlock,
- 24:37as an accomplice to murder under
- 24:39aggravated circumstances, sentenced to
- 24:41life.
- 24:42>> I OBJECT. I'M APPEALING. GRANT FORCED ME
- 24:45INTO THIS.
- 24:45>> Appeal denied. Original sentence stands.
- 24:48>> Grant, on the other hand, looked
- 24:50strangely calm.
- 24:52>> Marcus, has Gracie's grave been kept up?
- 24:5715 years. When I get out, I'll go be
- 24:59with her.
- 24:59>> 15 years is more than enough time to
- 25:02change a man completely. Whatever pride
- 25:05Grant used to take in his looks, his
- 25:07bearing, hard labor ground it all away.
- 25:09He grew quiet, withdrawn. Every time it
- 25:12rained, a dull ache ran through his
- 25:14mind.
- 25:15>> Now, I finally understand what you went
- 25:17through.
- 25:18Gracie,
- 25:19>> [laughter]
- 25:20>> are you doing this to punish me on
- 25:22purpose?
- 25:22>> No one ever answered him, just the wind
- 25:25howling past the bars. In year five,
- 25:28Grant got a letter mailed from overseas,
- 25:30no sender listed. Hands shaking, he tore
- 25:33open the envelope. Just one photo
- 25:36inside, a girl who looked remarkably
- 25:38like me, sitting on a bench in the sun,
- 25:40smiling wide, her legs completely
- 25:43healthy, whole. On the back, one line
- 25:46handwritten. If you hadn't given up on
- 25:48her, maybe she'd be smiling like this,
- 25:50too. That line went through Grant's
- 25:52chest like a blade. He started coughing
- 25:55violently and coughed up a mouthful of
- 25:57blood. The prison doctor examined him
- 26:00and told him he had severe lung disease,
- 26:02wouldn't survive more than a few years.
- 26:04Grant refused treatment.
- 26:07>> Just leave it. This is fine.
- 26:10I should have paid this debt a long time
- 26:12ago.
- 26:12>> Year eight, Tessa had gone insane. Every
- 26:16day in her cell, she barked like a dog,
- 26:18crawled on the floor licking up other
- 26:20people's scraps. Once the untouchable
- 26:22heiress, now the prison's favorite joke.
- 26:25When Grant heard the news, he just
- 26:27turned his head away, cold. They'd both
- 26:29gotten exactly what they deserved.
- 26:31Except no punishment could bring back
- 26:33the girl who used to wait for him in her
- 26:35wheelchair. Time rolled forward to the
- 26:38day Grant was released. Good behavior
- 26:40inside plus how sick he'd gotten earned
- 26:43him early parole. He asked around the
- 26:45hallway, even begged, just to scrape
- 26:48together bus fare to Fairview Cemetery.
- 26:50By the time he got there, it was already
- 26:53evening. The sunset red as blood. Grant
- 26:56walked to my grave. Weeds had grown
- 26:58thick around the stone.
- 27:00>> Gracie, I came to see you.
- 27:03I'm free now. But what good is freedom
- 27:05in a world without you?
- 27:07You always complained your wheelchair
- 27:08was too heavy, too ugly. I made you a
- 27:11new one. Are your legs better where you
- 27:13are?
- 27:14Can you walk now?
- 27:15>> He kept talking to the cold stone like a
- 27:17kid who didn't know better. Night fell.
- 27:20Temperature dropped fast. Grant's lung
- 27:22disease flared up, a coughing fit
- 27:25doubling him into a ball. He didn't take
- 27:27his medicine, just held onto the
- 27:29headstone, felt the cool of the stone
- 27:31against him. Like that way he could feel
- 27:34me holding him back. The next morning,
- 27:36the groundskeeper came through on his
- 27:38rounds and found Grant leaning against
- 27:40the headstone. He wasn't breathing
- 27:42anymore, but there was something like
- 27:44relief on his face. In his hand, he
- 27:46still gripped that hand-carved little
- 27:49wheelchair.
- 27:50>> My name is Marcus Reed. I was Grace
- 27:52Ashby's attorney. A year after Grant
- 27:55died, I made a trip to the prison.
- 27:57Tessa's guardian had requested one last
- 27:59evaluation of her mental state. Through
- 28:01the bars, I saw what was left of the
- 28:04untouchable Whitlock heiress. Emaciated,
- 28:07hair gone gray, looked like a 60 years
- 28:09old. The second she saw me, she rushed
- 28:12the bars and grabbed the iron with both
- 28:14hands.
- 28:14>> There was a ghost! A ghost! GRACE STANDS
- 28:17AT THE HEAD OF MY BED EVERY NIGHT! SHE
- 28:20HAS NO LEGS! SHE JUST FLOATS [screaming]
- 28:22THERE!
- 28:23>> SHE'S LIKE THIS EVERY day now. Full
- 28:24psychotic break. Auditory and visual
- 28:27hallucinations both.
- 28:28Tessa.
- 28:30Do you remember the $50,000?
- 28:32>> The second she heard those words, Tessa
- 28:34went quiet.
- 28:35>> $50,000. By the cake. By the bloody
- 28:38cake.
- 28:40Grant, am I crawling good? Give me
- 28:42another 50 grand. I need it for my mom's
- 28:44surgery, too.
- 28:45>> The guard shook his head and signaled
- 28:47the visit was over. I knew death would
- 28:49have been a mercy for her. This endless
- 28:51terror, this unraveling mind, that was
- 28:55the real punishment. Walking out of the
- 28:57prison, the sky had cleared, rare for
- 28:59once. I drove out to the old warehouse,
- 29:02already bought up by a developer and set
- 29:04to become a logistics center, bulldozers
- 29:06roaring away. I stood there, watching
- 29:09that ground, once soaked in Grace's
- 29:11blood and despair, get paved over clean.
- 29:14That's when my phone rang. An unfamiliar
- 29:16number, overseas. I picked up and heard
- 29:19a voice.
- 29:20>> Mr. Reed.
- 29:22Thank you.
- 29:23>> I froze. That voice was too familiar.
- 29:25Who is this?
- 29:27>> Who I am doesn't matter anymore.
- 29:29The rest of your payment's already been
- 29:30wired to your offshore account. I hope
- 29:33you take this secret to your grave.
- 29:34>> My mind went back 5 years to the day
- 29:37Grace first came to find me. Back then,
- 29:39even in that wheelchair, her eyes were
- 29:41unusually calm, sharp.
- 29:44>> Mr. Reed.
- 29:45I want to set up a con.
- 29:47One that leaves them disgraced, wishing
- 29:49they were dead. The version of me that
- 29:51dies in that dirt, it has to be
- 29:52flawless.
- 29:55Can you do that for me?
- 29:57>> I looked at the number sitting in my
- 29:58account now and closed my eyes. Grant
- 30:01thought the girl he drove to her death
- 30:03was a weak, helpless [ __ ] Tessa
- 30:05thought the girl she crushed under foot
- 30:07was an ant, easy to squash whenever she
- 30:10wanted. Neither of them knew. When you
- 30:12push a person past every last way out,
- 30:15she can become something far worse than
- 30:17any devil.
- 30:18>> You won, Grace.
- 30:19>> On a small, warm island in an island,
- 30:22sunlight poured through the windows and
- 30:24spilled across the wood floor. I sat in
- 30:26my custom wheelchair, watering a pot of
- 30:29succulents. The air here was good. No
- 30:31smell of disinfectant, no suffocating
- 30:34lies.
- 30:35>> Mia.
- 30:36Your mail's here.
- 30:37>> My landlady smiled and handed me a thick
- 30:39envelope stamped with Marcus Reed's law
- 30:42firm logo. I opened it with a letter
- 30:44knife. Inside, news of Grant's death and
- 30:47recent photos of Tessa in the psych
- 30:49ward. I looked at the photo of Grant
- 30:51dying in misery in front of my
- 30:54headstone. My heart didn't even skip. I
- 30:56touched my own legs, still no feeling in
- 30:58them, but I could work this smart chair
- 31:00now, take myself anywhere I wanted to
- 31:03go. The woman buried under my name was
- 31:06someone I'd never met. Her body had been
- 31:08bought through the black market, already
- 31:10badly decomposed. Marcus arranged
- 31:13everything, from the false
- 31:14identification to the coroner's report.
- 31:17And me? I'd been on a cargo ship before
- 31:19Grant even left me at that warehouse.
- 31:21The 30 grand Grady gave me paid for my
- 31:23escape. For years, I believed I'd gotten
- 31:26away with it. Now, sitting in my
- 31:28wheelchair on a quiet island, I finally
- 31:31had proof that my revenge was complete.
- 31:33Grant was dead. Tessa had lost her mind.
- 31:36I dropped Marcus's letter into the
- 31:38fireplace and watched the flames consume
- 31:40the last photograph of my former
- 31:42boyfriend. Goodbye, Grant. I expected to
- 31:45feel something, satisfaction, maybe.
- 31:48Instead, I just felt tired. My mother
- 31:51was still dead, my legs still didn't
- 31:53work, none of that would ever change.
- 31:55But, at least I had my freedom.
- 31:58>> Mia, there's a package for you.
- 32:01>> My landlady called from downstairs. I
- 32:03wheeled myself to the door and accepted
- 32:05a small brown envelope. No return
- 32:07address. Inside was a photograph, the
- 32:09abandoned warehouse, my blood-stained
- 32:12white dress, and a woman's body lying on
- 32:14the ground. I recognized that scene
- 32:16immediately. I'd paid a fortune to
- 32:18create it, but this photograph was
- 32:20different from the police evidence.
- 32:22Someone had taken it before the officers
- 32:24arrived. I turned it over. Five words
- 32:27were written across the back. You buried
- 32:29the wrong woman, Grace. My fingers
- 32:31tightened around the photograph. Nobody
- 32:34outside Marcus's arrangement should have
- 32:35known about the body. My phone rang
- 32:38before I could think any further. An
- 32:40unfamiliar number.
- 32:41Hello?
- 32:42>> Hello, Mia.
- 32:44Or would you prefer Grace Ashbud?
- 32:46>> Who is this?
- 32:47>> Someone who knows how much you paid to
- 32:49become a dead woman.
- 32:50>> I said nothing.
- 32:51>> $500,000.
- 32:53Transfer it within 3 days and your
- 32:55little secret stays buried.
- 32:57>> And if I refuse?
- 32:59>> [laughter]
- 33:00>> Then the police will discover whose body
- 33:02is in your grave.
- 33:03>> For the first time in years, I heard my
- 33:05old name insulted frame. Someone knew I
- 33:08was alive and he knew exactly where to
- 33:11find me. I called Marcus before the sun
- 33:13came up. Someone knows. There was a long
- 33:16silence.
- 33:17>> What exactly does he know?
- 33:19>> I photographed the picture and sent it
- 33:20over.
- 33:21>> Grace, where did you get this?
- 33:23>> It arrived yesterday. The man wants
- 33:25$500,000.
- 33:26>> Don't pay him. I'll handle it.
- 33:29>> I heard papers moving on his desk.
- 33:31Marcus,
- 33:32tell me something. Who arranged the
- 33:34body?
- 33:35>> A private contractor. I never met the
- 33:37original supplier.
- 33:38>> Then find him.
- 33:39>> Another pause.
- 33:41>> He's missing. His office was cleared out
- 33:432 weeks ago.
- 33:44>> I stared at the ocean outside my window.
- 33:46The man who'd helped me disappear had
- 33:48apparently disappeared himself. I sent a
- 33:51message to the blackmailer. Show me
- 33:53proof, then we'll discuss payment. 10
- 33:55minutes later, a video arrived. Behind
- 33:58that desk sat Grady. I recognized his
- 34:00greasy hair and expensive, ridiculous
- 34:03suit immediately.
- 34:05>> Hello, beautiful.
- 34:07Remember our little arrangement?
- 34:09>> My stomach turned.
- 34:10>> I always wondered why a [ __ ] needed
- 34:1230 grand so badly. Then, I heard you
- 34:15died. Imagine my surprise when I found
- 34:18out you were living in paradise.
- 34:20>> I paused the video. Grady had kept
- 34:22records. Every payment, every false
- 34:25document, maybe even the names of
- 34:27everyone involved. He didn't just want
- 34:29money. He wanted to own me again.
- 34:31>> Grace, listen carefully. Someone broke
- 34:33into my office.
- 34:34>> What?
- 34:35>> They attacked me in the parking garage.
- 34:37When I got upstairs, my safe was empty.
- 34:39>> Did they take the files?
- 34:41>> Everything connected to your death.
- 34:42>> Years ago, I'd trusted Marcus because he
- 34:45knew how to keep secrets. Now, every
- 34:47secret I'd paid him to protect was
- 34:49sitting in Grady's hands.
- 34:51>> Grace,
- 34:52you need to leave the island.
- 34:54>> No.
- 34:54>> He's dangerous.
- 34:56>> So is Grant. I opened Grady's video
- 34:58again. Tell him I'll pay.
- 35:00>> Grace.
- 35:01>> But this time, Marcus,
- 35:03we're doing things my way. Grady agreed
- 35:05to meet Marcus at a private hotel 3 days
- 35:08later. He thought I was coming alone.
- 35:10Instead, I hired an investigator named
- 35:13Daniel Price. Daniel had spent years
- 35:15investigating financial fraud and
- 35:17illegal trafficking. By the second day,
- 35:19he'd already found three women Grady had
- 35:21blackmailed. One had lost her savings.
- 35:24Another had disappeared after
- 35:26threatening to expose him.
- 35:28>> He's not just a businessman. He's been
- 35:30selling identities for years.
- 35:32>> Can you prove it?
- 35:33>> Not yet, but your meeting might change
- 35:35that.
- 35:36>> Marcus entered the hotel suite carrying
- 35:38a briefcase. I joined through a secure
- 35:40video call. Grady smiled when my face
- 35:42appeared.
- 35:44>> There's my favorite little princess.
- 35:45>> Where are the documents?
- 35:46>> Where's my money?
- 35:49500,000, just like we agreed.
- 35:51>> First, tell me what you have.
- 35:54>> Your fake death certificate, the corpse
- 35:56purchase, the payments to the people who
- 35:58identified your body.
- 36:00Do you know how many laws you broke,
- 36:01sweetheart?
- 36:03>> And you helped arrange it.
- 36:04>> Of course I did. You think dead bodies
- 36:06appear out of nowhere?
- 36:07>> Where did you get her?
- 36:10>> Does it matter?
- 36:11She was nobody.
- 36:12>> I kept my expression still.
- 36:15Her family might disagree.
- 36:16>> Then let them complain. They're welcome
- 36:18to dig her up.
- 36:19>> Behind my screen, Daniel was recording
- 36:21everything.
- 36:22>> You've said enough.
- 36:25What the hell does that mean?
- 36:27>> It means you just admitted your
- 36:28involvement.
- 36:29>> second, he looked stunned. Then, he
- 36:32started to laugh.
- 36:32>> [laughter]
- 36:33>> You really think I'm stupid enough to
- 36:35come without insurance?
- 36:37You're worried about me, Grace. You
- 36:39should be worried about who's looking
- 36:40for you.
- 36:40>> My phone vibrated. A notification from
- 36:43my home security camera. Someone was
- 36:45outside my front door. I opened the live
- 36:47feed. A woman sat in a wheelchair on my
- 36:50porch. I know who you buried.
- 36:54I sent the security footage to Daniel.
- 36:57>> Don't open the door until someone gets
- 36:59there.
- 36:59>> 20 minutes later, two security officers
- 37:02arrived. The woman didn't run. She
- 37:04simply handed them her identification,
- 37:06Evelyn Carter, 32, no criminal record.
- 37:10When Daniel called back, he sounded
- 37:12surprised.
- 37:14>> She says she's looking for her sister.
- 37:16>> Her sister?
- 37:18>> The woman buried under your name.
- 37:19>> I agreed to speak with her through the
- 37:21locked security gate. Evelyn sat
- 37:23opposite me.
- 37:24>> I've been looking for Anna for 9 years.
- 37:27>> answer.
- 37:28>> She disappeared after going into a
- 37:29private clinic for treatment. They told
- 37:31us she'd checked herself out.
- 37:343 months ago, someone sent me a copy of
- 37:36a coroner's report.
- 37:38The woman in your grave had that same
- 37:40scar.
- 37:41>> Who sent it, Grady?
- 37:42>> A lawyer. He offered to tell me where
- 37:44Anna was buried if I paid him.
- 37:46I sold my apartment, then he stopped
- 37:48answering.
- 37:50And last week, he sent me your address.
- 37:52>> I'm sorry about your sister.
- 37:54>> Don't. You got a second life. My sister
- 37:56didn't even get her own name on a
- 37:58headstone.
- 37:59>> I had no defense. I'd spent years
- 38:01telling myself the body belonged to
- 38:03someone nobody wanted. Now, that woman's
- 38:06sister was sitting right in front of me.
- 38:09What do you want?
- 38:10>> Her name back. And the truth about how
- 38:13she died.
- 38:13>> I looked at Anna's photograph again.
- 38:17Then I'll help you. That evening, Marcus
- 38:19searched the original medical record. He
- 38:21found something the official
- 38:22identification documents had omitted.
- 38:25Before Anna's death, she'd been admitted
- 38:27to a private clinic called Westbridge
- 38:29Medical, and the company listed as its
- 38:31largest investor had changed names three
- 38:34times. Marcus traced the ownership.
- 38:37Every name led back to one person,
- 38:39Grady. I called Daniel immediately. Find
- 38:43out what happened inside that clinic.
- 38:44Grady hadn't just sold me a dead woman's
- 38:46identity. He'd been controlling what
- 38:48happened to her body long before I
- 38:50needed it.
- 38:51>> Daniel called 2 days later. I found
- 38:54three former WestBridge employees
- 38:55willing to talk.
- 38:57>> About Anna?
- 38:58>> About more than Anna.
- 38:59>> WestBridge Medical had been falsifying
- 39:01patient records for years. Patients who
- 39:04died there were sometimes recorded as
- 39:06discharged. Their bodies were
- 39:08transferred through a separate company,
- 39:09then sold under false identities. Grady
- 39:12owned both businesses.
- 39:14And Anna?
- 39:16>> Her record shows she died after a
- 39:17procedure. There was no proper
- 39:19investigation.
- 39:20>> I looked across the table at Evelyn. She
- 39:22heard every word.
- 39:24Can we prove it?
- 39:26>> Daniel hesitated.
- 39:29>> [sighs]
- 39:29>> Not without the clinic's original files.
- 39:31>> Those files were scheduled for
- 39:32destruction that afternoon. Grady knew
- 39:35the police were investigating, but he
- 39:37still wanted his money. I sent him
- 39:39another message. The recording stays
- 39:41private if you return every document.
- 39:43I'll pay you the rest in cash. He
- 39:45replied almost immediately.
- 39:47>> Agreed.
- 39:48>> I arranged a meeting at an empty office
- 39:50building.
- 39:50>> Where's my money?
- 39:51>> Where are my files?
- 39:52>> He threw the bag onto the table.
- 39:54>> You're a sick man.
- 39:56>> And you're a woman who bought a corpse.
- 39:57>> The office doors opened. Investigators
- 40:00entered and ordered him away from the
- 40:01table.
- 40:02>> YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET THIS.
- 40:04>> GET IN LINE.
- 40:06>> Ask your precious lawyer how much I paid
- 40:07him.
- 40:08>> What?
- 40:09>> Marcus didn't just take your money,
- 40:11sweetheart. He took mine, too.
- 40:13>> That evening, Daniel sent me a financial
- 40:15report. One payment caught my attention.
- 40:17It came from a company owned by Grady.
- 40:20The recipient was Marcus Reed. The
- 40:22amount was $200,000,
- 40:25and the transfer had been made 3 days
- 40:27after my supposed death. Marcus didn't
- 40:30deny receiving the money. He simply
- 40:32stared at the bank statement I'd sent
- 40:34him.
- 40:37>> Grace, there's an explanation.
- 40:39>> Then explain.
- 40:40>> It was payment for legal consulting.
- 40:42>> From a man selling dead bodies?
- 40:45>> Things were complicated back then.
- 40:46>> How complicated?
- 40:48>> Grady knew the people supplying the
- 40:50body. He threatened to expose everything
- 40:52unless I cooperated.
- 40:53>> Cooperated how?
- 40:54>> I gave him access to some of the
- 40:55documents.
- 40:56>> You sold my identity.
- 40:58>> No.
- 40:59I kept him quiet.
- 41:00>> For $200,000?
- 41:03He said nothing. I remembered every
- 41:05payment I'd made to Marcus. Every time
- 41:07he'd promised I was safe. Every time I'd
- 41:10thanked him for saving my life.
- 41:13You let him keep evidence he could use
- 41:14against me.
- 41:15>> I never thought he'd find you.
- 41:17>> But he did.
- 41:18>> Grace, after everything I've done for
- 41:20you
- 41:20>> Don't. I disconnected the call. The
- 41:22following morning, I hired a new
- 41:24attorney, Claire Bennett. I gave her
- 41:27everything. The fake death certificate,
- 41:29the payments, the recorded
- 41:30conversations, even the messages proving
- 41:33I'd approved the plan. Claire read the
- 41:35documents carefully.
- 41:38You understand what this means?
- 41:39>> Yes.
- 41:40>> You could face charges for fraud and
- 41:42obstructing an investigation.
- 41:44>> I know.
- 41:45>> And your current identity may come under
- 41:46scrutiny.
- 41:47>> I looked down at the name Mia printed on
- 41:49my identification. I'd spent years
- 41:52protecting it. Now, I was choosing to
- 41:54put it at risk.
- 41:56Tell the investigators everything.
- 41:58>> Within a week, Marcus was questioned
- 42:00about his financial dealings with Grady.
- 42:02The authorities reopened the
- 42:04investigation into Anna Carter's death.
- 42:06And for the first time, Evelyn received
- 42:08an official document bearing her
- 42:10sister's real name. She called me that
- 42:13evening.
- 42:14>> They found her, Grace.
- 42:16They really found her. Thank you.
- 42:17>> The next morning, Claire called.
- 42:19>> The prosecutors want your testimony.
- 42:22>> Against Grady?
- 42:23>> And possibly Marcus.
- 42:24>> I looked at the plane ticket on my desk.
- 42:26Going back meant facing everything I'd
- 42:28run from. Book the flight. I'm coming
- 42:31home. The courtroom was packed.
- 42:33Reporters stood outside calling the name
- 42:36Grace Ashby. For years, the world had
- 42:39believed that woman was dead. Now, I was
- 42:41sitting in front of a judge ready to
- 42:43explain why. Claire stood beside me.
- 42:46>> Are you sure?
- 42:48>> I've never been more sure. I told the
- 42:50court about Grant, about my mother's
- 42:52death. Then I explained how Marcus and
- 42:54Grady helped falsify my death. I didn't
- 42:57leave anything [sighs] out. When the
- 42:58prosecutor asked whether I'd known Anna
- 43:00Carter's identity, I shook my head.
- 43:04>> No, I never asked. Why?
- 43:07Because I didn't want to know.
- 43:09I thought having a second chance meant I
- 43:11could forget everything I'd done to get
- 43:12it.
- 43:14I was wrong.
- 43:15>> Grady's records and the former
- 43:16employees' testimony exposed the illegal
- 43:19operations at Westbridge Medical. He
- 43:21faced prosecution for trafficking,
- 43:23fraud, and extortion. Marcus was
- 43:25investigated for his role in concealing
- 43:28the truth. I also faced legal
- 43:29proceedings over my own actions. I
- 43:31accepted the penalties imposed and
- 43:33completed the requirements that
- 43:35followed. Months later, Evelyn buried
- 43:37Anna beneath a headstone bearing her
- 43:39real name. She sent me a photograph.
- 43:42>> She has her name back.
- 43:44Thank you.
- 43:45>> I placed it beside my mother's picture.
- 43:47For the first time, I felt I could look
- 43:49at both without turning away. I returned
- 43:52to the island and began funding
- 43:53accessible housing and legal assistance
- 43:56for women who had nowhere else to go.
- 43:58One afternoon, my neighbor called from
- 44:00the courtyard.
- 44:02>> Mia,
- 44:03coming to the beach? Coming.
- 44:05>> Grant thought I couldn't survive without
- 44:07you. Grady thought my silence was for
- 44:09sale. They were both wrong. I lost my
- 44:12legs years ago. Then I lost my name, but
- 44:15I was never going to lose myself again.
- 44:18My name is Mia, and this time my life
- 44:21belongs to me.
