#short To Be By My Side #shortfilm

Transcript

00:00:00Dear White Rose, thanks to the Caring Navy Project for bringing us together as pen pals and then as lovers.

00:00:19I've dreamed of the day we can be together and finally do what real couples do, like go on dates, take long walks, and watch movies.

00:00:27I'm so sorry that I haven't been able to be there to give you a normal romance, but soon I'll be by your side.

00:00:36I've missed you for two years, but today we finally meet, making it all real.

00:00:52Who, sis?

00:00:53Got you a gift for your first hookup.

00:00:55It's not a hookup. He's my boyfriend.

00:00:59You've known each other for two years and still don't know what the other looks like.

00:01:03So pathetic.

00:01:04So pathetic.

00:01:05That sale is using you for a lonely destruction.

00:01:09No, he isn't. He loves me. And we're meeting at the ice cream shop today.

00:01:15He gave me this.

00:01:20Oh, my God.

00:01:21Enough. I'm going to meet him now.

00:01:23Wow.

00:01:25Wow. Ice cream shop and a cheap ring.

00:01:28Classic player moves to fool gullible women.

00:01:32Seahawk would never lie to me.

00:01:45Seahawk?

00:01:47Could the next one be you?

00:01:48Don't forget the umbrellas. It's going to rain.

00:02:08Yes, April.

00:02:13The word is out that you're back.

00:02:15So, uh, some local officials, business representatives would like to meet with you.

00:02:19So it's only going to leave you roughly 30 minutes to meet with your, uh, pen pal?

00:02:25Not my pen pal.

00:02:27Girlfriend.

00:02:28It's hard to believe a U.S. Navy SEAL admiral would fall so hard for a girl he's never met.

00:02:43Jacob.

00:02:44See you, sir.

00:02:44How do I look?

00:02:50Impeccable admiral.

00:02:54What kind of girl could captivate the admiral like this?

00:03:04Madam Secretary, what is it?

00:03:05Baby, we've got a hostile situation in the Gulf of Aiden.

00:03:08Merchant ships hijacked.

00:03:10Get back to base now.

00:03:14This mission's extremely dangerous.

00:03:17You may not come back alive, admiral.

00:03:20Yes, madam.

00:03:21I will deploy immediately.

00:03:23Jacob, fall online now.

00:03:26Your girlfriend is...

00:03:27Judy calls, and it waits for no one.

00:03:29Do you want to leave her a message or something?

00:03:31No.

00:03:32If I can make it back alive, then I'll explain to her in person everything.

00:03:37Let's go.

00:03:37Ah.

00:03:44Ice cream shop in a cheap ring.

00:04:07Classic player moves to full gullible women.

00:04:09Sophia was right.

00:04:13Lee played me.

00:04:19It's time to go.

00:04:20It's time to go.

00:04:20I tried to tell you, didn't I?

00:04:37That playing Navy guy was just messing with you.

00:04:40Only an idiot would fall for that.

00:04:43Who do you think you are throwing my stuff like this?

00:04:45Oh, my God.

00:04:47Dreaming of a Navy romance?

00:04:57I'm a freak.

00:04:59You're trash.

00:05:00Just like your mother.

00:05:03Get lost.

00:05:03Don't judge your butt, please.

00:05:05I thought you'd be my salvation from hell, but...

00:05:19I will become a doctor.

00:05:35I will walk out of hell alone.

00:05:54There's no pulse.

00:05:56What do we do?

00:05:57Excuse me.

00:05:58Dr. Moore.

00:06:03Jimmy, I need an AED on standby.

00:06:06I'm going in.

00:06:08I'm going in.

00:06:16She's going to be fine.

00:06:18Okay.

00:06:18Dr. Lee, uh, what are you doing on this floor?

00:06:28Is it about my mother?

00:06:31Without a suitable heart transplant, your mother only has three months left.

00:06:36Aurora.

00:06:37My only regret is not seeing you get married.

00:06:41Mom.

00:06:43You will.

00:06:44You will.

00:06:45My friend's son, Damien Hawk.

00:06:47He's a decent, normal, honest, retired Navy man.

00:06:52I'd be happy if you married him.

00:06:54A Navy man?

00:06:56Ten years, Aurora.

00:06:57It's time to move on.

00:07:00Promise me you will.

00:07:01Of course, Mom.

00:07:07I promise.

00:07:13Damien.

00:07:15Where are you going?

00:07:16Uh, just to the hospital for the acquisition contract signing.

00:07:19Damien, since you retired from the Navy, you have thrown yourself into expanding the family business.

00:07:27But you still need to get married.

00:07:31Grandma, I am not marrying a stranger.

00:07:33The letters that you sent to that pen pal have gone unanswered for years.

00:07:39She might already be married to someone else.

00:07:41It's time for a fresh start.

00:07:43The girl is Aurora Miller.

00:07:45She's your mother's friend's daughter.

00:07:47Ten years, White Rose.

00:07:49Have you forgotten everything we had?

00:07:51Damien, the Hawk family has been in international shipping for over a hundred years.

00:07:59We are the wealthiest, most prestigious family in the U.S.

00:08:03We have a duty to contribute to the nation's defenses.

00:08:07You must provide an heir to protect our legacy.

00:08:17All right, fine.

00:08:19I will marry the girl.

00:08:21Aurora's a lovely girl.

00:08:25You'll fall for her.

00:08:36Come on, Aurora.

00:08:37Show us those bedroom eyes that you've been waiting to show the director in bed.

00:08:41Sophia!

00:08:42Give me back my clothes.

00:08:43No.

00:08:44I know you slipped your way into becoming a doctor.

00:08:47And it's time for the internet to know what a slut you really are.

00:08:50Okay, we both know that's nonsense.

00:08:51I got a perfect score on my exams and stopped trying to interfere in my personal life.

00:08:56Yeah, right?

00:08:56Nobody gets a perfect score without letting the boss score first.

00:09:00I'm gonna expose you.

00:09:02Okay, okay, okay.

00:09:02Come back.

00:09:03Oh, my God, what a look.

00:09:09Why don't you give us a little strip tease and your eye-time silk suit?

00:09:13Sophia, that's enough.

00:09:19Oh.

00:09:21You all right, miss?

00:09:22You all right, miss you.

00:09:44You all right, miss you.

00:09:45You all right, miss you.

00:09:46You all right, miss you.

00:09:47You all right, miss you.

00:09:48You all right, miss you.

00:09:49You all right, miss you.

00:09:52I'll use this to, uh, cover up.

00:10:02Excuse me.

00:10:03Who do you think you are meddling in other people's business?

00:10:06What's a toxic person like you doing in a hospital?

00:10:09I thought doctors were supposed to be healing.

00:10:11Who the fuck are you to lecture me?

00:10:13Oh, no, no, let me guess.

00:10:15Broke, unemployed guy trying to play the hero.

00:10:20Cute.

00:10:23Yeah.

00:10:24Now I need you to take care of a bullying employee for me at the hospital.

00:10:28Her name is Sophia Miller.

00:10:32That's funny.

00:10:33You think one phone call can really do anything?

00:10:36You can't touch me.

00:10:44What?

00:10:45I'm actually suspended?

00:10:47No, no, no.

00:10:48Oh, this can't be real.

00:10:52Excuse me, how did you...

00:10:55Well, I just made a little complaint.

00:10:58I didn't realize the hospital was going to act so swiftly.

00:11:01Yeah, um...

00:11:04I think this belongs to you.

00:11:11Is something wrong?

00:11:16Aurora Miller?

00:11:19Yes?

00:11:21You're, uh...

00:11:21You're my fiancée.

00:11:24Miss Miller, hi.

00:11:30I'm Damien Hock.

00:11:36Damien?

00:11:37I'm not sure what your expectations are,

00:11:40but I think that you should know

00:11:42I've dedicated my whole life to my career,

00:11:47not to becoming someone's wife.

00:11:49So, what I'm saying is

00:11:51you'd better not fall in love with me.

00:11:54Miss Miller,

00:11:54I am swamped with work

00:11:56and not exactly Prince Charming material.

00:12:00So,

00:12:01I wouldn't advise you falling in love with me either.

00:12:05Perfect.

00:12:07You'll stay out of each other's way then.

00:12:09Um,

00:12:10if you meet someone

00:12:12that you actually like,

00:12:14just let me know.

00:12:15Are you suggesting an open marriage?

00:12:20No.

00:12:20Do you both enter this union willingly?

00:12:23We do.

00:12:25Oh.

00:12:26Doesn't quite seem like it.

00:12:28Who would have thought

00:12:49he'd look so dashing

00:12:51in a navy uniform?

00:12:52What?

00:12:58Come on,

00:13:01you two are a couple.

00:13:02Move closer together.

00:13:04Oops.

00:13:07Perfect.

00:13:08Okay, now,

00:13:09how about a nice,

00:13:10passionate kiss?

00:13:11Yes.

00:13:28Sweetie, look.

00:13:33That couple looks amazing.

00:13:35I bet their kids would be stunning.

00:13:37That guy's got nothing on me.

00:13:40Hey,

00:13:40I'm your husband.

00:13:41Wait up.

00:13:43Miss Miller,

00:13:44where is your home?

00:13:45Do you need help moving your things?

00:13:47Um,

00:13:48moving?

00:13:49We just got married.

00:13:50Isn't it tradition

00:13:51to live together?

00:13:52Mom's treatment costs a fortune.

00:13:59Moving in with Damien

00:14:00could save on rent.

00:14:02If that makes you feel uncomfortable,

00:14:03then...

00:14:04Yes.

00:14:04Yes,

00:14:05I'll move in with you.

00:14:06Uh, here,

00:14:07hop in.

00:14:16Welcome home.

00:14:17Oh,

00:14:18you must be Aurora.

00:14:20Oh,

00:14:20Aurora,

00:14:23meet my grandmother,

00:14:24Margaret.

00:14:25Pleasure.

00:14:25I am sorry Damien's got you

00:14:27in such a tiny place.

00:14:29You deserve so much.

00:14:31Well,

00:14:31hustling as a bodyguard

00:14:32isn't exactly a royal path

00:14:34to riches now,

00:14:35is it?

00:14:36I can't risk letting Aurora

00:14:37know my real gig

00:14:38as a retired Navy admiral.

00:14:40It's too classified.

00:14:42I love it,

00:14:43Margaret,

00:14:43really.

00:14:44Oh,

00:14:44such a sweet girl.

00:14:47You two must be worn out.

00:14:49I'm going to let you get some rest.

00:14:53Oh,

00:14:53and I've got a little surprise for you.

00:14:56And I'm hoping the two of you

00:14:58can give me some great grandbabies soon.

00:15:00Oh,

00:15:09this is what

00:15:10Grandma Margaret

00:15:11meant as a surprise?

00:15:17I apologize.

00:15:19My grandma can be a bit.

00:15:20Uh,

00:15:21no,

00:15:21but,

00:15:21um,

00:16:00Oh,

00:16:02I don't know.

00:16:03Damien,

00:16:04are you two resting yet?

00:16:07I don't want your grandma

00:16:08seeing us like this.

00:16:09Oh.

00:16:13Wait,

00:16:13what are you doing?

00:16:16Humor me.

00:16:17Humor me.

00:16:18What?

00:16:19My grandma is not gonna leave.

00:16:21She's listening.

00:16:23And you don't want her to come in,

00:16:24do you?

00:16:26Hmm.

00:16:28Oh,

00:16:29baby.

00:17:09All that?

00:17:10So that she would hear us.

00:17:12Well,

00:17:12I had to think on the fly.

00:17:14I'm sorry if I upset you.

00:17:16No.

00:17:17I'm fine.

00:17:19I got it.

00:17:31Don't worry.

00:17:32I would never touch you without your consent.

00:17:35Well,

00:17:36there's one bet,

00:17:38so how do we want to...

00:17:40You slip on the bet.

00:17:41I'll take the four.

00:17:43Sorry.

00:17:45you get some rest.

00:17:47I have to take this.

00:17:51Good night.

00:17:52Good night.

00:17:52I'm sorry,

00:18:11Admiral.

00:18:11I've tried everything,

00:18:12but couldn't get in touch with your pen pal.

00:18:14An unbreakable bond.

00:18:16That was the promise that I made to her.

00:18:18Hey girl.

00:18:23Hi.

00:18:24How is everything?

00:18:25Is it true those Navy guys have serious stamina?

00:18:28I heard they can go like five times a night.

00:18:30Emily,

00:18:31you know we just married each other to make our folks happy, right?

00:18:34You guys haven't even fought.

00:18:35Shut up.

00:18:36All right,

00:18:37all right.

00:18:37Wait,

00:18:37you're not still hung up on that Navy guy who ghosted you,

00:18:40are you?

00:18:44Admiral,

00:18:44all these years you've done everything you could.

00:18:47I know,

00:18:47I just,

00:18:48I keep thinking there's got to be some other way.

00:18:51I swear that I will find you White Rose.

00:19:06No matter what it takes.

00:19:09Emily,

00:19:10that jerk led me on for two years and then just disappeared without a word.

00:19:17But that's in the past.

00:19:18Now I just want a normal relationship to share my life with someone.

00:19:26You know?

00:49:46Huh?

00:49:47Huh?

00:49:48Damien?

00:49:49Damien?

00:49:50Damien?

00:49:51Damien?

00:49:52Damien?

00:49:53Damien?

00:49:54Damien?

00:49:56Even though I don't see you, love is close by.

00:50:16Damien?

00:50:17Damien?

00:50:18Damien?

00:50:19Damien?

00:50:20Damien?

00:50:21Damien?

00:50:22Damien?

00:50:23Damien?

00:50:24Damien?

00:50:25Damien?

00:50:26Damien?

00:50:27Damien?

00:50:28Damien?

00:50:29Damien?

00:50:30I feel a little bit embarrassed about what just happened.

00:50:33I feel a little bit embarrassed about what just happened.

00:50:42I mean, you're a very good kisser, and you're pretty good in the flirting department as well.

00:50:50No, I meant the PTSD.

00:50:56Yes, I'm sorry, yes.

00:50:58Damien, can you explain that a bit more to me?

00:51:06You don't think less of me because of how I reacted to the fireworks, do you?

00:51:12No.

00:51:14Damien, PTSD is not who you are.

00:51:18You're brave.

00:51:20And you're captivating.

00:51:23I mean, you should have seen yourself giving that speech earlier.

00:51:25You were so...

00:51:27You know what?

00:51:27If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're falling for me.

00:51:36Um, you think that?

00:51:39Well, you're actually not my type.

00:51:44I like my man beefier.

00:51:47More muscles, you know?

00:51:51Beefier?

00:51:52Mm-hmm.

00:51:53You know, I find that hard to believe.

00:51:58Do you?

00:51:59Mm-hmm.

00:52:00There were all those Navy officers in uniform today.

00:52:03They were very dashing.

00:52:04So, you have a lot of competition.

00:52:07Good to know.

00:52:10Damien, as a doctor, I'll find a way to heal you.

00:52:15Well, don't you think I look dashing in it?

00:52:29You know, I think I actually prefer what's hiding underneath.

00:52:46Especially when you get all hot and a little bit sweaty.

00:52:52Careful.

00:52:53You're playing with fire.

00:52:55I might have to cool you down.

00:52:57Mr. Hawk, are you trying to excite me?

00:53:01Ah.

00:53:07What's that?

00:53:11Oh, yeah.

00:53:13Oh.

00:53:14You know, I didn't beg you for a man with such tastes.

00:53:19I don't think it's going to fit you.

00:53:22Huh.

00:53:26Why don't you try it on?

00:53:29You can do it right here in front of me.

00:53:32Dr. Miller.

00:53:33I got a call earlier from a naval colleague.

00:53:44At the banquet, Admiral's PTSD sparked up again.

00:53:47Sudden noises and stuff could trigger it.

00:53:49So, remember, no doorbells.

00:53:52Yes, sir.

00:54:03I think for this exam, you're going to need to shed some layers.

00:54:29Mm-hmm.

00:54:31Ah.

00:54:33Damien, why do you have so many scars?

00:54:54Do they scare you?

00:54:56No.

00:54:57It isn't fear.

00:55:08It's compassion.

00:55:10Do you care about me?

00:55:12Don't stop now, Dr. Miller.

00:55:22Admiral gave me these for emergencies only.

00:55:24Guess this qualifies.

00:55:41Oh.

00:55:43Get out of here.

00:55:57Go.

00:56:00Is that the Admiral?

00:56:02Half naked?

00:56:04Oh, my God.

00:56:06Looks like he walked in on something.

00:56:09Go.

00:56:09Yeah.

00:56:13I might be mistaken, but I think your boys are here.

00:56:18Duty calls.

00:56:21Oh.

00:56:23This better be important.

00:56:28I'm here to check on your health.

00:56:30I'm also arranged for a doctor to come.

00:56:31There's no need for that.

00:56:32Aurora might catch on.

00:56:34Instead, I want you to make sure that Dr. Mudge, a top cardiologist, prioritizes the surgery of Aurora's mom.

00:56:41Yes, Admiral.

00:56:43Oh, um, what does Damien look like he's the boss here?

00:56:52Now, where were we?

00:56:54No, no, no.

00:57:12No!

00:57:15Eddie!

00:57:16Eddie, no!

00:57:18Eddie!

00:57:19Hey, Damien, wake up.

00:57:28Were you having a nightmare?

00:57:29Yes, I, uh, I dreamt about Eddie.

00:57:32I tried to save him, but I just, I couldn't move.

00:57:36Hey.

00:57:36Most traumatic stress wreaks havoc on the mind, but, Damien, I promise I'm going to find a way to help you.

00:57:50Will you leave me once you've fixed me?

00:57:53Because if it means losing you, then I don't want to be fixed.

00:57:56Ten years to heal the scars he left.

00:58:06Am I making another mistake?

00:58:08If you want me to stay, no more secrets.

00:58:14We need to be honest with each other.

00:58:18Always.

00:58:19Yes, I promise, Aurora.

00:58:22From now on, absolute truth and honesty.

00:58:26Please, you can't get us out.

00:58:36My mom's going to die.

00:58:37Oh, I...

00:58:39Excuse me.

00:58:40What's the situation here?

00:58:41This is Dr. Miller.

00:58:44Her mom is seriously ill.

00:58:46She needs a coronary bypass.

00:58:48But I don't have money.

00:58:50Coronary artery stenosis.

00:58:53Insufficient blood flow.

00:58:55Yes, she will need it.

00:58:56Doctor, please save my mom.

00:58:59I'll work for the money.

00:59:00Rosie!

00:59:02Rosie, no.

00:59:03Rosie, you can't work.

00:59:04You need to stay in school.

00:59:06Ma'am, please, here.

00:59:07Way back.

00:59:16Mom, stop.

00:59:18Your hands are getting cracked from the cold water.

00:59:20As long as you can go to school, it's all worth it, honey.

00:59:24I don't know.

00:59:26Listen, we're going to get you the treatment that you need, okay?

00:59:31Don't worry about the cost.

00:59:33I'll handle it.

00:59:34Really?

00:59:35You'll really save my mom?

00:59:37Absolutely.

00:59:38But you need to promise that you will stay in school.

00:59:42Oh, Aurora.

00:59:44What's this?

00:59:45You reminiscing on your peasant mother?

00:59:46What the hell are you doing in here?

00:59:52You couldn't even save your own mother.

00:59:54How can you promise to save someone else's?

00:59:56Wherever there is a chance, I will do whatever it takes.

00:59:59I am not a fraud with no skills or integrity.

01:00:02Like you.

01:00:03You little bed-crawling tramp.

01:00:04How dare you talk to me like that?

01:00:06You know what?

01:00:07You're nothing but a pig's daughter with a death wish.

01:00:10You really think you can talk big with me, huh?

01:00:16Let me go!

01:00:26Ow!

01:00:26Shit!

01:00:28You bitch!

01:00:29Where did you learn that?

01:00:31My husband taught me how to defend myself from bullies like you.

01:00:36Nice, huh?

01:00:41You're gonna pay for this, you bitch.

01:00:44Just you wait.

01:00:49Okay, we're going in for a coronary bypass.

01:00:52Monitor vitals closely.

01:01:01The surgery was successful.

01:01:19Hey, you.

01:01:20You okay?

01:01:22You look exhausted.

01:01:28I'm great.

01:01:29I think I just helped a patient that reminds me of my mom.

01:01:34And I got the hospital charity fund to cover her bills

01:01:37so her daughter doesn't have to drop out of school to work.

01:01:41Oh, my goodness.

01:01:43Oh.

01:01:45You are incredible.

01:01:47I am so proud of you.

01:01:48There's one more thing.

01:01:50I may or may not have taught Sophia a lesson

01:01:53with the self-defense moves that you showed me.

01:01:56Oh, wow.

01:01:57It sounds like someone is a good teacher.

01:01:59Ah.

01:02:00Yeah, if she tries anything again,

01:02:02she's in for a surprise.

01:02:05I'm gonna get a shower.

01:02:07Okay.

01:02:08Hey, Simon, I want you to keep an eye on Aurora for me

01:02:12just for a little while.

01:02:27Oh, Aurora.

01:02:28When this patient dies, so do you.

01:02:38Liar!

01:02:38You said the surgery was a success.

01:02:40Why is my mom dead?

01:02:42Sweetheart, what is going on here?

01:02:47No, no.

01:02:48That is impossible.

01:02:49The surgery was successful.

01:02:51I...

01:02:52I...

01:02:53Do you think I'm all back?

01:02:55You murderer!

01:02:56Rosie, please.

01:02:57It's not like that.

01:02:58There's nothing for...

01:02:59Look what you've done.

01:03:00Your pre-op evaluation.

01:03:01Just kill this patient.

01:03:02I can't believe Dr. Miller made such a rookie mistake.

01:03:06She has ruined our hospital's reputation.

01:03:08No, that's not possible.

01:03:10I double-checked every pre-op assessment.

01:03:12I...

01:03:13Unless someone tampered.

01:03:16I want to see the security footage and the autopsy report.

01:03:22Enough.

01:03:23No more excuses.

01:03:25You're suspended with a pending investigation.

01:03:27What?

01:03:28Until we know the truth.

01:03:30No one is getting suspended.

01:03:35Who does this guy think he is?

01:03:37To talk to the head of our department like this.

01:03:39Damien.

01:03:40I got your back.

01:03:43Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe hospital protocol states

01:03:46that a suspension requires a formal hearing.

01:03:49Until then, no one touches my wife.

01:03:51Oh my God, you pathetic vagrant.

01:03:53What, do you protect during your murderer wife?

01:03:56Mr. Walker, is it?

01:03:57Now, I surely hope you weren't making a regular habit of overlooking basic protocols,

01:04:02or I might have to investigate further and find out what's really going on.

01:04:07You wouldn't want your wife to find out about you and Sophia's little tryst, would you?

01:04:13How does he know?

01:04:14Oh, if my wife finds out about my affair with Sophia, I'm done for.

01:04:19All right.

01:04:20We'll conduct an internal investigation to ensure Dr. Roramella her rights to defend herself.

01:04:25I expect this to be acceptable.

01:04:27And I will defend myself.

01:04:29And I will be watching the investigation very closely.

01:04:32You can expect a fair outcome from the honest family.

01:04:37Let's go.

01:04:39Good thing I destroyed the evidence.

01:04:42Aurora, not even God can save me now.

01:04:44Aurora, hey.

01:04:51You've been obsessing over this all night.

01:04:53Hey, it's time to take a break.

01:04:55Damien, I've been through every detail of the medical report over and over again, and I cannot figure out where I went.

01:05:02You don't have all the answers yet, okay?

01:05:05And you can't put this all in yourself.

01:05:07I know that losing a patient is just part of the job, but I did everything right.

01:05:14But the surgery was successful.

01:05:16I still don't understand.

01:05:18Come on.

01:05:20I want to show you something.

01:05:25What's this?

01:05:26Open it.

01:05:30This is everything I sent to you.

01:05:40I remember writing this.

01:05:44What is, oh, no, is this?

01:05:48Yes, that is your cookie.

01:05:50I couldn't bring myself to eat the last one.

01:05:53You shared all of this with me, and I've kept each and every one of them.

01:05:58Aurora.

01:06:01I admire your kindness, your courage, and your optimism.

01:06:07No matter what life is thrown at you, you have always found a way to push through.

01:06:10And I have no doubt that you'll do it again.

01:06:21And you're right.

01:06:22I need to pull myself together.

01:06:26I'm going to find the truth for myself and for Rosie.

01:06:32Aurora, I promise I will get to the bottom of this with you.

01:06:35You've got to be kidding me.

01:06:50They knew it.

01:06:51What else?

01:06:52Oh, my God.

01:07:09I hope you're hungry.

01:07:10You need to eat.

01:07:11So, how's the investigation going?

01:07:14I found evidence.

01:07:16One of the nurses at the hospital saw Sophia going into my patient's room at night.

01:07:26So I went in there, and I looked through the trash.

01:07:29And in the bottom was euthanasia drugs.

01:07:32Is that a bad thing?

01:07:33What's wrong?

01:07:33The security cameras were out, so there's no way for me to prove that that's connected to Sophia.

01:07:38Don't worry.

01:07:39I'm sure there will be other evidence that will turn out.

01:07:41I mean, what other evidence can there be?

01:07:44Luckily, I had Jacob install a hidden camera.

01:07:47But...

01:07:47Hey, don't sweat it.

01:07:52By the way, I wanted to ask you.

01:07:54There is a Navy medical ball two days from now.

01:07:57And, uh...

01:07:58Oh, I wanted to know if you wanted to go with me.

01:08:01Everyone thinks that I killed my patient.

01:08:04I shouldn't go.

01:08:05I was thinking that's exactly the reason that you should go.

01:08:09You know, you're right.

01:08:11If I stay home, people will think I'm hiding.

01:08:16I got you on something.

01:08:17I got you on something.

01:08:24I got you on something.

01:08:54What other evidence can there be?

01:08:56Luckily, I had Jacob install a hidden camera.

01:09:00But...

01:09:01Hey, don't sweat it.

01:09:04By the way, I wanted to ask you.

01:09:06There is a Navy medical ball two days from now.

01:09:09And, uh...

01:09:10Oh, I wanted to know if you wanted to go with me.

01:09:13Everyone thinks that I killed my patient.

01:09:16I shouldn't go.

01:09:16I was thinking that's exactly the reason that you should go.

01:09:20You know, you're right.

01:09:23If I stay home, people will think I'm hiding.

01:09:27May I listen to them?

01:09:41Damien, this is Chanel hot couture.

01:09:43How did you do it?

01:09:46Well, I got it at a thrift store.

01:09:48And it was discounted, okay?

01:09:49Don't worry.

01:09:50It was really cheap.

01:09:52And I remember you saying that you loved it when we were watching TV the other night.

01:09:55So I thought, why not?

01:10:00I'm going to try it on right now.

01:10:01Would you help me with the zipper?

01:10:10Of course.

01:10:20Oh, my God.

01:10:21You deserve the world, Omora.

01:10:23This is all the money that I've made recently.

01:10:29Feel free to spend whatever you'd like.

01:10:32And if you're feeling sad, then...

01:10:34Buy something that'll make you feel happy.

01:10:40Damien.

01:10:41You didn't have to do any of this.

01:10:46You've made me so happy.

01:10:55Aurora, I will clear your name at the gala.

01:11:06Oh, my God, look.

01:11:08It's Dr. Death.

01:11:10I got this.

01:11:12Hi.

01:11:13You've got some nerve showing up here.

01:11:16Sophia, there's no need for unpleasantness.

01:11:19I have an invitation.

01:11:20No way.

01:11:21A scandalous doctor like you couldn't get invited.

01:11:25And she's wearing fake couture.

01:11:27That is so embarrassing.

01:11:29You're trying to seduce the admiral for a get-out-of-jail-free card?

01:11:31Not everyone stoops to measures as low as you.

01:11:34My husband gave me this.

01:11:41Hold on!

01:11:46Check this out, ladies.

01:11:48This one here is my invitation.

01:11:51Perfectly formatted with the blue background and the gold border.

01:11:55This is her invitation.

01:11:58Smart move with the gold eagle.

01:12:01Wow.

01:12:02Fake dress and a counterfeit invite.

01:12:04You and your broke hubby are a match made in heaven.

01:12:07Why is my invitation different?

01:12:12Shameless.

01:12:12Sneaking in like this.

01:12:14She experiments on patience.

01:12:16She can do anything.

01:12:17Security!

01:12:18Hello, sir?

01:12:20This girl is trying to crash the party.

01:12:23Can we just toss her out already?

01:12:25This is definitely different.

01:12:28Hold it right there.

01:12:29Are you all right?

01:12:40I'm fine.

01:12:41But the dress you gave me is torn.

01:12:43Don't worry about the dress.

01:12:45As long as you're not hurt.

01:12:47Wait a minute.

01:12:48This one has the anchor.

01:12:50That's the admiral's mark.

01:12:51This must mean Aurora and Damien have been invited by the admiral himself.

01:12:55What?

01:12:56Why would the admiral invite a nobody and a murderer?

01:12:59I'm very sorry, sir.

01:13:01Please, right this way.

01:13:05Oh, Aurora.

01:13:07Sneaking all you like.

01:13:08I'm gonna make sure you regret it.

01:13:16Attention, everyone.

01:13:17You all deserve to know that this woman is a murderer.

01:13:25This despicable woman not only experiments on her patients,

01:13:30but she wormed her way out of punishment through corruption.

01:13:32Sophia, stop accusing me.

01:13:36Oh, Aurora.

01:13:37Just because your mom is sick,

01:13:40you can't stand to watch other mothers get better.

01:13:42That's like so twisted.

01:13:46That's ridiculous.

01:13:48Aurora, you're under suspicion for medical mispractice.

01:13:52You should be at home reflecting,

01:13:54not parading around at a banquet.

01:13:57Her license should be taken away,

01:13:59and she needs to be locked up.

01:14:00No, there's been a mistake.

01:14:01Okay, you know what?

01:14:03None of what they're saying is true.

01:14:05Oh, you're protecting a killer?

01:14:06Then you're just as guilty.

01:14:09Just wait until the admiral gets here.

01:14:11Admiral?

01:14:13Oh, my God.

01:14:13He's the admiral.

01:14:18Damien, what are they talking about?

01:14:22What?

01:14:23This broke guy, an admiral?

01:14:26There's no way.

01:14:28Mr. Walters,

01:14:30your hospital needs a serious overhaul.

01:14:32Apologies, admiral.

01:14:33This is my problem.

01:14:35I will initiate a full investigation immediately.

01:14:38Excuse me.

01:14:40Wait.

01:14:40Is he seriously the admiral?

01:14:42Deffen Walker,

01:14:43abusing power in this hospital is unacceptable.

01:14:46Prepare to face the full extent of the law.

01:14:48Sorry, please.

01:14:49You've got to spare me.

01:14:50I can't go to jail.

01:14:51Get off of me.

01:14:53Actually,

01:14:54the true culprit of the victim's crime

01:14:56is her,

01:14:58Sophia Miller.

01:15:01What?

01:15:02That's a lie.

01:15:04You're making things up.

01:15:05I can't have any problems.

01:15:07I have all the evidence right here,

01:15:09as well as the autopsy report.

01:15:11The patient died of euthanasia.

01:15:13So she really was euthanized.

01:15:23No.

01:15:24No, no.

01:15:25No, it wasn't me.

01:15:27It was Aurora.

01:15:28She's a twisted psycho.

01:15:29Oh!

01:15:30Oh!

01:15:31Oh!

01:15:32Oh!

01:15:33Oh!

01:15:34Oh!

01:15:35Oh!

01:15:36Oh!

01:15:37Oh!

01:15:37Sophia, to frame me, you murdered an innocent woman.

01:15:42You are not even human.

01:15:44You were supposed to delete that.

01:15:46I don't understand that.

01:15:47What do you mean?

01:15:48You witch!

01:15:48You're the reason I don't have a job.

01:15:50Oh, you bastard.

01:15:52After all of those nights.

01:15:54You're both a disgrace to the hospital.

01:15:57I called the cops.

01:15:58Get ready for prison.

01:16:01Oh!

01:16:02You bitch!

01:16:04No!

01:16:04This is all your fault!

01:16:06That was for all the times you humiliated me when we were children.

01:16:12No!

01:16:16And that is for insulting my mother.

01:16:20And this is for killing someone else's mother.

01:16:25You're a disgrace to the entire medical profession and to humanity itself.

01:16:32Sophia Miller, you're under arrest for murder.

01:16:35You're coming with me.

01:16:36What?

01:16:36No, you can't do this to me!

01:16:38Aurora, you're going to pay for this!

01:16:40Even if I've gone too down for the rest of my life!

01:16:44No!

01:16:49Please accept my sincerest apology, Admiral.

01:16:55I'll drop by another day to properly apologize to you and your wife.

01:16:59Ladies and gentlemen, my apologies for this unfortunate incident.

01:17:03Please, continue to enjoy the party.

01:17:12Damien, are you really a former Navy Admiral?

01:17:16What other secrets are you keeping from me?

01:17:21Oh, just let me explain, please.

01:17:24I had to keep the Admiral thing under wraps.

01:17:27I'm actually a retired Navy officer, and I could be called back at any time, and that is why I...

01:17:32Damien...

01:17:33You have no idea how grateful I am for everything that you have done for me.

01:17:40Really, you don't know how...

01:17:44I respect your career, but you lied to me.

01:17:50I can't tolerate that.

01:17:52Listen to me, Aurora, I never meant to lie to you, okay?

01:17:55I never meant to deceive you.

01:17:59You once said to me that you could never be with a military man.

01:18:04I was scared to tell you because I was scared that I would lose you.

01:18:11I did say that.

01:18:13Maybe I was right.

01:18:17Maybe you and I were not a good fit.

01:18:22Damien, I need complete honesty and love.

01:18:25And that is just something you're not able to give me.

01:18:28You could be called away at any minute.

01:18:31I can't live like that.

01:18:33Not knowing if you're going to have to leave, when you're going to have to leave.

01:18:37I just want a normal life.

01:18:40So what does that mean for us?

01:18:45Damien...

01:18:48I think we should get a divorce.
