Saving Nora
Transcript
00:00I'm telling you, I'm not pregnant! I'm a virgin! VIRGIN!
00:04Well, looks like we've got ourselves a miracle here.
00:07Oh yeah? You're kidding, right?
00:10There's no time for jokes, Nora. Your situation is critical.
00:14Listen to what I'm saying. There is no way I can be pregnant.
00:18Because my fiancé is disgusted to look at me. Like, why would he touch me?
00:22I just caught him with my stepsister and she called me... a sad virgin!
00:27You know what? She's right. They're all right! I'm a sad virgin!
00:32Please calm down. Nora, you're very, very pregnant.
00:36What the hell is going on?
00:39The twins are in distress.
00:43Twins?
00:46Nora was shocked when she heard she was pregnant without even touching a man.
00:51She felt the same helplessness she did years ago when she tried to wake her mother.
00:56Not understanding why she wouldn't respond.
00:58Please, mom! Wake up! Daddy brought this lady home again!
01:03She's in his room right now!
01:09Please, say something! I'm begging you!
01:12Please, mommy, say something! Mommy, please!
01:21Nora, you shouldn't be in here.
01:26Oh, God. Oh, sweetheart.
01:29Berta, mama won't wake up. Why won't she answer me? Her hand is cold.
01:36The animal grunt, the harsh breathing, the creaking sound of the bed.
01:40When the sounds from Nora's father's bedroom continued to grow louder and more intense,
01:45Nora felt an inexplicable anger. It made her want to scream and throw things,
01:50but mama told her she could never do that.
01:52Her heart pounded with a mix of rage and despair,
01:55as Nora rapped infestedly on the door until her knuckles turned raw and red.
02:00Why is she in your room?
02:03Nora, get out, this instant!
02:05Get away from my dad!
02:07Listen to your father, darling.
02:09Nora, I said get out!
02:12That's my mother's necklace!
02:14Nora!
02:15What, what? You little b****!
02:17Get off her!
02:18You little b****!
02:23God, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
02:25Is it bad?
02:26It's not that bad.
02:28You little monster!
02:34Look what she's done to my face! She needs to be punished!
02:37She's only 80 years old.
02:39I'm so sorry about the disruption. She got away from me.
02:45Make sure it doesn't happen again.
02:48Take her away!
02:50Yes, sir.
02:51Henry, you know what?
02:53Either that brat stays here, or I do.
02:56That brat happens to be my daughter.
03:00And don't forget who she is.
03:03Henry!
03:06Henry, she attacked me!
03:08And I'm the one you want to punish?
03:10You don't have to worry about her.
03:12How about we go out to dinner?
03:14Just the two of us.
03:16What?
03:21You expect me to go out like this?
03:25I'm a woman of elegance, Henry.
03:28And your daughter could learn more from me.
03:31If she had a brain.
03:33You can't be here, sweetheart.
03:36We need to go, please.
03:39Henry, so?
03:42What are you going to do about her?
03:47Let's go.
03:50Oh, no, sir. Please. She's just a child.
03:55Take her on to them.
04:16Daddy, I was waiting for you.
04:18Your mother is dead, Nora.
04:20And the woman you hurt today, I'm going to marry her tomorrow.
04:28She also has a daughter.
04:30And we will be living together from now.
04:32And I better not hear any complaints.
04:35She's the lady of the house now.
04:37And you have to do whatever she says. Understand?
04:41But don't you love mom?
04:44Love her?
04:49I never loved her.
04:55There are some secrets you don't know about the woman you call mom.
04:59I hated your mother.
05:01And it disgusts me how much you remind me of her.
05:05But, daddy...
05:06Enough.
05:09Don't open your eyes just yet.
05:11Or you'll spoil my specials.
05:18Daddy.
05:35Don't open your eyes just yet.
05:37Or you'll spoil my special surprise for you.
05:43Just one more second.
05:49Alright, open your eyes now.
05:52You made it for me?
05:54It's so beautiful.
05:56My beautiful girl deserves beautiful things.
06:00And the most unique ones.
06:05I love you, Nora.
06:06I love you.
06:21Nora's young mind struggled to comprehend losing her mother.
06:24The only person who loved her unconditionally was now gone.
06:29Nora's father married Wendy the next morning.
06:32Within an hour of lowering her mother's coffin into the ground in the same church,
06:37Nora was forced to stay in her room the entire day as if she were some kind of prisoner.
06:44Hi there.
06:45I'm here to meet my new stepsister.
06:47You must be Nora.
06:49I'm Angela.
06:50Nice to meet you.
06:54What is so funny?
06:56You are...
06:58Nora instantly saw how wickedly similar Angela was to her mother.
07:03I have a message for my mother.
07:05What message?
07:08I'm going to make your life a living hell, Nora.
07:16Nora?
07:18Berta!
07:20Where have you been?
07:23Oh dear.
07:24Oh dear.
07:25I'm not even supposed to be here right now.
07:27What?
07:29Your new stepmother fired me because I tried to defend you.
07:34But you can't leave!
07:38I just wanted to say goodbye.
07:41I don't want you to think that I abandoned you.
07:48Please, don't go.
07:51Your stepmother left me no choice.
07:55Listen to me, child.
07:57Promise me to stay strong.
08:00Never let your father and that nasty woman break you.
08:05Your mother is right here.
08:14Berta, don't go. I need you.
08:18I'm going to never forget what I said, okay?
08:28I won't, I promise.
08:30Be strong, Nora.
08:33No matter what.
08:36This marked the end of Nora's childhood and the beginning of a new and daunting chapter in Nora's life.
08:42Nora's father focused on his new family, pretending Nora didn't exist.
08:49Guys, just give us some space. We've got to speak.
08:52Stories of Henry's hasty remarriage plastered across every major tabloid.
08:58Mr. Smith, any comments on your remarriage less than 24 hours after your wife's death?
09:03Miss Smith? Miss Smith! Why are you keeping your daughter out of the media's eyes?
09:08Why all the secrecy around her?
09:11We won't be answering any questions now. Please leave the premises immediately.
09:15Or we will call the police.
09:21With the arrival of Wendy and Angela in the Smith household, things around the house quickly changed.
09:30My stomach hurts. I can't eat anymore.
09:35Don't be wasteful. I want you to finish all the food on your plate.
09:39Every last bite.
09:40This food isn't good for me. My mom would never let me eat junk food, especially not for breakfast.
09:47Enough.
09:52How dare you complain?
09:54Any normal child would be delighted, would be happy to have dessert for breakfast.
10:01Eat your food.
10:06Eat your food.
10:10Eat your food.
10:13See? You can eat more, after all.
10:27Blueberries.
10:28Yeah, your favorite. Dig in.
10:32They're so sweet.
10:34Just like you, my precious girl.
10:40Your medicine, miss.
10:44Except for sweets for breakfast, every day, Nora was forced to take a handful of unidentified pills.
10:58Hey. Hey, what's wrong?
11:00Hey, um...
11:02Come here.
11:09You're in such big trouble.
11:11Nora didn't understand why Angela was blaming her for being...
11:14Hey! Shut up!
11:16Daddy! Daddy!
11:18Your daddy hates you.
11:20My mommy said all your toys are mine now, and I can do as I wish.
11:25Please, not this one. My mom made it for me.
11:28You can take anything else you want, just not this one.
11:33But you loved this one, and my mommy said the best way to hurt you is to destroy everything you love, one by one.
11:47How could you?
11:48Hey!
12:01Mom, I miss you so much.
12:04Today was hard.
12:07I'm trying to be brave.
12:11I wish you were here.
12:16I love you, Mom.
12:18Nora desperately wished to be with her mother.
12:20Eventually, she drifted to sleep where her mother answered her prayers in a dream.
12:25Wake up, sweetheart.
12:27Mom? You're back?
12:31Just for a moment, my love.
12:34I missed you. Things are terrible here.
12:38I'm so sorry to hear that.
12:41Listen, sweetheart.
12:43Things will get worse before they ever get better.
12:47You need to let yourself feel these yucky feelings, so you grow up to be a strong woman someday.
12:55Do you understand?
12:57I guess so.
12:59Life's gonna be hard, so you have to keep being strong.
13:06No one can ever hurt you if you always remember who you really are.
13:16And remember, I'll always love you.
13:19I'll always love you, too.
13:23Nora knew Angela must be responsible for ripping her doll apart as she dreamt.
13:28She let herself sob that morning for the last time in her life.
13:32She learned to mask her feelings.
13:34It was a hard lesson to learn, but one that ensured her survival.
13:40Ten years later, it was the day of Nora's engagement to Anthony Gray,
13:44one of the country's most eligible bachelors.
13:48Look at this. Isn't it beautiful?
13:52Anthony picked it out himself.
13:54Yeah, and it cost me more than the down payment for my house.
14:00Anthony, that is wonderful.
14:02Come and give me a hug.
14:04I think this moment calls for a glass of champagne.
14:08Couldn't agree...
14:09No, no, no. I know just the bottle to open.
14:11Come on, Anthony. Come on.
14:16I'm glad you came around.
14:18Your partnership with Nora will be profitable to business, I guarantee it.
14:22Thank you, sir.
14:24I'm very, very excited to finally be part of this family.
14:31I promise, it'll bring a hefty paycheck.
14:34Money like you've never seen before.
14:36It was the happiest day of Nora's life.
14:39If only she knew the terrifying turn it was about to take.
14:42Don't screw this up.
14:44Yes, ma'am.
14:46Nora hated that her soon-to-be husband was in her wicked stepmother's good graces.
14:52It made her doubts and fears about Anthony even harder to ignore.
14:58Nora hoped that marrying Anthony meant finally leaving her toxic family behind.
15:02Let's see the ring.
15:07It's certainly unique.
15:10I never saw this happening before.
15:12I never saw this happening before you.
15:17I never thought a girl like you could ever keep Anthony Gray interested.
15:22Let alone have him put a giant rock on your finger.
15:28Well, what can I say? Guess I'm like a girl.
15:31I'd say it's dumb luck.
15:36Call me whatever you want, Angela.
15:39Today's the happiest day of my life.
15:41And I won't let anyone ruin it.
15:43If you'll excuse me, I'm going to join my fiancé to toast to our future.
15:51I feel sorry for you, Nora.
15:54Why so?
15:56You and Anthony will never last.
16:01He just needs time to see that.
16:04And I can't wait to see all this implode in your face.
16:12Nora was frustrated that Angela knew all her insecurities.
16:16But tonight, she wouldn't let it matter.
16:19She was finally happy.
16:21Miss?
16:24I'm sorry to bother you, but I have a message.
16:29From whom?
16:31Um...
16:33Well?
16:34Message says that Mr. Anthony Gray awaits you in the guest room any five minutes.
16:42And I am sure it's an engagement gift.
16:44That would be lovely.
16:47Nora wondered about the gifts awaiting her.
16:49Hoping most for a moment alone with her new fiancé.
17:01Nora's world crumbled as she watched her fiancé with her wicked...
17:06It was like she was a little girl again, walking in on her father and her awful stepmother.
17:15What are you doing? Hey! Stop it!
17:17Nora? What are you doing here?
17:19Oh my dear sister, it's such a party...
17:21You had to screw my fiancé on the day of my engagement. Can't you see?
17:26Enough with the dramatics.
17:31You could have anyone, anyone!
17:33Why him? Just tell me, why him?
17:36If you must know, I love ruining your life.
17:38And let's be honest, you would never be able to keep him.
17:43The fabulous Miss Nora Smith.
17:46The great heiress of the mega fortune.
17:49Who can't keep her bed-buddy hands occupied with anything but a chocolate bar.
17:53Angela...
17:55Oh, and by the way, we found your little notebook.
18:01With all your little love notes to Anthony.
18:07You're so cringe.
18:09And we did it on your bed. A few times.
18:12Didn't we, babe?
18:14Nora couldn't contain her rage.
18:19My father should have left you and your mother in the gutter where he found you.
18:23Can you hear me?
18:25You...
18:30Enough! Stop it! Stop it!
18:32Enough! Enough! Enough!
18:36You make your point.
18:41We can't be caught.
18:43My grandmother cannot fight about this.
18:51Nora...
18:53You do understand...
18:55That I cannot be possibly married to this.
19:00What?
19:01To your father.
19:03Marriage isn't happening.
19:05What are you talking about?
19:07Or else...
19:08I'll have to do it.
19:11But you...
19:13You don't want to be more of a laughing stock than you already are, do you?
19:17Maybe you'll finally get your first kiss.
19:21Anthony, babe...
19:23Will you be a doll and at least f*** her?
19:27Not a chance.
19:29Not even if you paid me a million dollars.
19:36What's worse?
19:38Getting dumped by the country's most eligible bachelor?
19:42Or...
19:43Still being a sad virgin?
19:45Hmph.
19:56Now, Nora wondered who had sent the servant to deliver her the message.
20:01Was it Anthony and Angela luring her to more humiliation?
20:04Or was it someone else making sure she knew the truth?
20:09Miss Nora?
20:11Hey, kid!
20:12Are you okay?
20:13Are you okay?
20:14Come on, come on, come on.
20:16Let me help you.
20:18Let me help you.
20:25What's wrong?
20:28Hey!
20:30Help!
20:33Shh. It's fine.
20:34Just stay still.
20:36You're in bad shape.
20:41What's wrong with me?
20:44This often happens at this stage of pregnancy.
20:47Hold on.
20:48This stage of what?
20:50Don't tell me you didn't know.
20:52Didn't know what?
20:55Is the pain still intense?
20:58It's hard to even talk.
20:59No need to talk then.
21:00I'm running some medical checks and you can rest.
21:04It's been a long time since I've seen you, Nora.
21:07You look so much different.
21:09Never mind the burns.
21:11A doctor?
21:12I don't think she knows yet.
21:15Knows what?
21:16Oh.
21:19Nora, actually you are pregnant.
21:24No.
21:25It can't be real.
21:28Well, it's actually pretty real.
21:31No.
21:32There's no way I can be pregnant.
21:34My fiance was too disgusted to look at me, let alone touch me.
21:38I've never been with anyone else, if you know what I mean.
21:41And then my fiance, I just caught him with my stepsister.
21:45She called me a sad virgin.
21:48Do you know what?
21:49She's right.
21:50I mean, they are all right.
21:52Well, sometimes this happens, you know.
21:55I've known a lot of cases where the women had no clue they were pregnant.
22:01Doctor, what the hell is this?
22:02It's getting worse.
22:03That's because you're pregnant.
22:05I'm not.
22:06You are, and the babies are, in distress.
22:09The babies?
22:10Are you out of your mind?
22:11Nora wished she could explain, but that would be impossible.
22:16What in God's name is going on here?
22:18Your daughter is pregnant, sir.
22:20Her twins are in distress.
22:22What?
22:23All that self-pity?
22:24And playing the victim?
22:26And the whole time you were pregnant?
22:28I can't believe that someone like you had the nerve to cheat on me.
22:32It's gonna be a mistake.
22:33I don't know what to do, Dad.
22:35I know what to do.
22:36We'll schedule an abortion immediately.
22:38What? No, no, no.
22:39No?
22:40Doctor, say something.
22:41Are you afraid? This is my daddy. It's okay.
22:44He has every reason to be.
22:48Nora, there's one thing you have to know.
22:50Doc.
22:51I've known your family for a long time.
22:53Shut up.
22:54Don't you dare.
22:55I said shut up.
22:56Shut up.
22:58Your mother was investigating dark secrets.
23:00Get everyone out of here.
23:01Dark secrets about your family.
23:03Shut up.
23:04Before she died.
23:05Let's go.
23:06Hey, don't touch.
23:07I said don't touch.
23:08What?
23:09What? I said get lost.
23:10I thought you'd be better to keep it here in line by now, you weak bastard.
23:14You're not listening to me.
23:16I said get out.
23:18Hey, what are you doing here?
23:20You better get lost.
23:25Get to the wall.
23:26Stay back.
23:27Don't move.
23:30Here.
23:32Get to the wall.
23:34Keep talking, Doctor.
23:35You're a smart guy, Doc.
23:37Don't say anything you're going to regret.
23:40Say it.
23:41What really happened to Nora's mother?
23:43How did Nora get pregnant?
23:45And will Nora ever uncover the truth behind her family's dark secrets?
