He Defended the Woman Who Killed His Own Mothe

Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]My mother-in-law got hit and killed. My husband, a top tier lawyer, is defending the perpetrator.

[00:00:08]Mom, why didn't you tell us you were coming so Lucas and I could have picked you up. Don't you dare tell him. This time I came back early just to surprise him on his birthday.

[00:00:20]Serena, are you almost here?

[00:00:23]>> I'm here. I'm here.

[00:00:26]Mom, I see you.

[00:00:28]Mom. Lucas, you'll love the gift I got you.

[00:00:35]Serena.

[00:00:38]Mom.

[00:00:54]Mom.

[00:00:55]Mom. Mom, are you okay? I'm calling an ambulance now. Serena for Lucas. His birthday present.

[00:01:10]Mom. Mom, wake up. Mom. Mom, wake up.

[00:01:14]Mom.

[00:01:19]>> Ligus. I hit someone.

[00:01:24]Murderer. It's because you were speeding. You hit and killed my mom.

[00:01:31]>> In conclusion, the charges against my client are not valid. The defense rests.

[00:01:41]This court hereby announces its verdict regarding the plaintiff, Serena's accusation against the defendant, Rachel, for vehicular manslaughter.

[00:01:49]The charge is not valid. The plaintiff's lawsuit is dismissed.

[00:01:59]Lucas, thanks to you, I'd have been lost.

[00:02:02]>> Come on, no need to be so formal with me. After all, she's still my wife. She kept hounding me and dragged you into this.

[00:02:08]>> Lucas, don't be too hard on Serena. Her mom just passed away. I understand she's upset, but she's already filed her third appeal. She wouldn't keep appealing and hounding me, would she? I'm so scared.

[00:02:23]You were out buying me a gift that day and that's when you got hit by that insurance scam. It was just a freak accident. Don't worry. I'm here for you.

[00:02:31]No one's going to mess with you.

[00:02:36]Serena, wait up.

[00:02:40]>> Don't touch me.

[00:02:42]>> Serena, are you done throwing a tantrum?

[00:02:44]How many times have I told you to stop appealing? Rachel is about to become a lawyer, filing all these appeals. Do you know how much it'll hurt her career?

[00:02:53]effect. You only care about her future.

[00:02:56]What about mom? Her life means less than Rachel's future.

[00:03:00]>> If mom hadn't violated the traffic rules, she wouldn't have gotten into an accident.

[00:03:03]>> She was speeding and she hit mom. You're a lawyer and you're twisting the facts for her. I'm telling you, I will not drop this appeal. She must pay for what she did.

[00:03:14]>> I've never lost a case in all these years. You're wasting your time.

[00:03:19]Serena, all these appeals you keep filing, aren't you just after compensation?

[00:03:25]Here, here's $10,000. Think of it as a small token for Mrs. Smith. Just a little something from me. Go on, take it.

[00:03:38]Take your blood money and get out.

[00:03:40]Lucas, does Serena think it's not enough? I heard from Lucas that your mom was unemployed. Trading her life for 10,000 bucks is already a good deal.

[00:03:51]>> Serena, Rachel was driving normally.

[00:03:53]Your mom suddenly jumped out. It was an insurance scam that caused this. Rachel is a victim, too.

[00:04:00]>> No wonder. No wonder. From the day mom died, he's been defending Rachel in every way, making excuses for her left and right. So, he always thought it was my mom's fault.

[00:04:20]this blood money. Why don't you keep it, Mr. Top Lawyer? After all, you're more suited to have it than I am.

[00:04:28]>> Serena, >> Lucas, you should go comfort Serena.

[00:04:32]Don't let me affect your relationship.

[00:04:35]>> It's fine. Let her have some time alone.

[00:04:38]Rachel, you've been through a lot these days. I've arranged for you to intern at my law firm next week. Think of it as compensation.

[00:04:46]>> But Serena is the majority shareholder of the firm. She'll never agree to hire me.

[00:04:51]>> The firm's reputation and status today.

[00:04:53]It's thanks to me, the top tier lawyer.

[00:04:55]Without me, it's nothing. Serena has no right to object.

[00:05:00]>> Thanks, Lucas.

[00:05:01]>> Here, take it.

[00:05:14]Serena, I have an interview at the firm soon. Why did you bring me here?

[00:05:18]>> You'll find out soon enough.

[00:05:22]>> Hey, Lucas. From now on, this law firm is yours. Go ahead and show your skills.

[00:05:36]Serena, thank you. I won't let you down.

[00:05:46]I believe in you and I believe you can be a good lawyer.

[00:05:52]>> I, Lucas, will fight for justice and speak for the innocent.

[00:06:00]My mother-in-law lived by the law her whole life. But after she died, her own son framed her for an insurance scam.

[00:06:07]The Lucas I once knew is completely rotten. This marriage should end.

[00:06:40]Honey, help me with my necklace.

[00:06:42]>> I'm busy. Do it yourself.

[00:06:47]>> Mr. Top Lawyer's in a good mood. No wonder you tried so hard to protect her.

[00:06:52]So, you two have been secretly involved all along.

[00:06:56]>> Serena, what the hell are you talking about? Rachel and I have the purest mentor student relationship.

[00:07:02]>> That's right, Serena. Lucas was just helping me put on a necklace. Don't be mad. Okay, >> Serena. Happy 3rd anniversary. This is a necklace I specially picked for you. Do you like it?

[00:07:18]It's the one I've been eyeing for a long time, but couldn't bring myself to buy it. Thank you, honey.

[00:07:30]So, just mentor and student. Lucas, my wedding anniversary gift is now on her, and you still say there's nothing between you." End quote. End quote.

[00:07:39]>> It's cuz your mom had an accident.

[00:07:42]Rachel had nightmares for several nights in a row. This necklace is a way to compensate her.

[00:07:48]>> Lucas, you bastard. Don't you know it was Rachel who killed your mom?

[00:07:54]>> Lucas. Serena, please stop arguing. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have accepted this necklace. Since Serena doesn't want me to have it. I'll give it back to her right now.

[00:08:06]>> Hey, no need. I bought this necklace. I can give it to whoever I want. And starting today, this office is yours, too.

[00:08:16]>> What did you say? This is my office.

[00:08:21]>> The law firm values ability. Rachel is a top student from a prestigious school.

[00:08:25]She has a bright future. She deserves the best. You You haven't handled any firm matters in a long time. What do you need such a nice office for?

[00:08:34]>> Lucas, you can't do that. The office is Serena's. I can't take it. Besides, Serena's going to be mad.

[00:08:42]>> I said it's yours, so it's yours. You are the future of our firm. You deserve the best.

[00:08:54]>> Sign it.

[00:08:55]>> What is this, Serena? What does this mean?

[00:09:00]>> Sign it. I'll move my stuff out right away. I'll give you this office.

[00:09:05]>> Serena, you know my mom only sees you as her daughter-in-law. She's not well and is resting abroad. You suddenly want a divorce from me. Are you trying to upset her? Do you want me to get yelled at?

[00:09:16]>> Don't worry.

[00:09:18]Your mom won't get a chance to yell at you.

[00:09:22]>> What do you mean by that?

[00:09:24]>> What do you mean? Just call her. Then you'll find out.

[00:09:28]>> Did you say something to her? My mom's not well. Stop saying crap in front of her.

[00:09:34]>> You know what you're doing will make her angry.

[00:09:37]Serena, your mom passed away. It was an accident. Why can't you let it go?

[00:09:43]>> Lucas, take it easy. Serena, I really didn't mean to that day. Mrs. Smith suddenly ran out and tried to pull an insurance scam. That's why. I know you're upset, but at a time like this, bringing up divorce with Lucas, don't you think?

[00:10:00]Are you using the divorce to force Lucas so he can't defend me anymore?

[00:10:07]So that's your game, Serena. I'm telling you, I won't let Rachel go to jail. If you think divorce will force me, dream on.

[00:10:15]>> Lucas, if if that day it was your mom who got killed, >> Serena, how dare you curse my mom?

[00:10:22]>> Yeah, Serena, you know Lucas was raised by his mom alone, and he's really devoted to her. Even if you're heartbroken, you can't curse Mrs. Smith to die. Serena, I'm also sorry your mom passed away, but she pulled an insurance scam and that's what caused the accident. I know you're sad. I understand. But can you stop being unreasonable? Stop going after Rachel.

[00:10:42]>> So, you think my mom's death was her own fault, right?

[00:10:45]>> Yes.

[00:10:45]>> So, you'll defend her to the end, right?

[00:10:47]>> That's right.

[00:10:48]>> Fine. As long as you sign the divorce papers, I won't make a scene.

[00:11:07]Let me tell you, if you want a divorce, no way.

[00:11:10]>> Only if they divorce can I take her place and become Mrs. Smith. Serena, it's all my fault. Please don't blame Lucas. If you need to blame someone, blame me. Ah, this phony act is totally disgusting.

[00:11:26]Rachel, are you okay?

[00:11:29]>> I'm fine. As long as Serena forgives me, she can hit me or yell at me. Anything.

[00:11:36]>> Rachel's been so patient with you. How long are you going to keep this up?

[00:11:40]>> How long am I keeping it up? She ran over Mom and you keep defending her.

[00:11:46]You're a monster.

[00:11:47]>> I know. Your mother's death has been hard on you and you can't accept it. But facts are facts. If she hadn't suddenly jumped out for an insurance scam, the accident wouldn't have happened. Face reality. Stop making a scene. Okay, >> Lucas, if you knew the one who was run over was your mother, would you still be so forgiving?

[00:12:08]Fine, then have it your way.

[00:12:15]Serena, Serena, here. Lucas's birthday gift.

[00:12:33]This is what mom before she passed away.

[00:12:35]Before she passed away, clutched tightly in her hand to give you as a birthday gift.

[00:12:43]>> This protective amulet.

[00:12:46]Mom, how's your health retreat abroad going? Much better. When my retreat ends, it'll be right around your birthday. I've already got your birthday gift ready. Look, I embroidered this myself just for you.

[00:13:02]>> Mom, your good health is the best gift your son could ask for.

[00:13:10]This protective amulet was embroidered by mom.

[00:13:13]>> Lucas, there's blood on it. It's from a dead person. That's so unlucky. Touching it brings bad luck.

[00:13:20]>> Mom is still at the retreat abroad.

[00:13:21]There's no way she embroidered this.

[00:13:24]Rachel's right.

[00:13:27]This amulet is bad luck. Throw it away.

[00:13:32]>> But mom personally embroidered this for you as a birthday gift. You threw it in the trash.

[00:13:37]>> It's just an amulet. Enough. Tomorrow I've booked a table at the Grand Plaza Hotel for my birthday party. My mom will fly back from abroad. Just act normal.

[00:13:48]Don't let her suspect anything. I don't want her to worry.

[00:13:52]>> My mom's body is barely cold and you're throwing a big birthday party. Lucas, what is your heart made of?

[00:14:01]>> Serena, I know. After my birthday party ends tomorrow, I'll go with you to visit your mother's grave.

[00:14:10]Also, go to the airport tomorrow and pick up my mom. She loves you the most, so if she sees you picking her up, she'll be really happy.

[00:14:18]Okay. I'll make sure to pick up my mother-in-law and bring her to your birthday party on time.

[00:14:31]Rachel, Serena's mother passed away, so she's upset. Don't let it bother you.

[00:14:36]Oh, by the way, at my birthday party tomorrow, a lot of well-known lawyers will be there. Then I'll introduce you to them. Lucas, but I don't even have a decent piece of jewelry. This necklace is all I have and it's Serena's. I'd just embarrass you.

[00:14:55]What's the big deal? Tomorrow, I'll take you to pick out some jewelry. Think of it as making it up to you on Serena's behalf.

[00:15:07]Rachel, pick whatever you want here.

[00:15:10]It's on me.

[00:15:10]>> Lucas, I'm so lucky to have you.

[00:15:17]Please wrap this for me.

[00:15:27]And this one, too. This. This. I want all of these.

[00:15:49]Mom, I will make things right for you.

[00:15:54]>> Why did my heart suddenly ache? Like I lost something important.

[00:15:59]>> Lucas, how about this one?

[00:16:03]>> Mom, I'm off to school.

[00:16:05]Okay, take this money.

[00:16:11]Take care of yourself at school.

[00:16:14]Mom, didn't all our money go to my tuition?

[00:16:22]Did you sell your bracelet?

[00:16:26]>> I just didn't want to wear it. Just keep the money, >> son.

[00:16:35]Mom, I'll make a lot of money in the future and buy you a better bracelet.

[00:16:41]>> I believe you licorice.

[00:16:47]>> This one is nice. Let's get this one.

[00:16:51]Thanks. Two of these, please. Wrapped separately.

[00:17:01]Mom, tomorrow I'll take you to see your son.

[00:17:15]Mr. Sterling, Mr. Evans, let me introduce you to someone. This is attorney Rachel Miller. She's a top student from our law school. She's about to receive her certificate. You could say she's the future top earner of our law firm. Lucas has good taste. Rachel is truly young and promising.

[00:17:30]Lucas, you flatter me. I still have a lot to learn from all of you. Cheers.

[00:17:51]>> Serena, what's going on? You went to pick up mom, but she's still not here, and I can't reach her on the phone.

[00:17:59]Serena, come eat more. You've lost weight lately. Your work has been really tough.

[00:18:06]>> Thank you, Mom.

[00:18:09]>> Lucas, while I'm abroad recuperating, you must treat Serena well, or else I won't be happy.

[00:18:16]>> Mom, don't worry. I will definitely treat Serena well.

[00:18:20]>> Mom, take good care of yourself abroad.

[00:18:23]We'll wait for you to come back.

[00:18:29]Mom, I'm sorry. You've been through so much. Today, I'll make sure everyone sees that those who hurt you pay the price.

[00:18:39]>> Mom couldn't be in trouble, could she?

[00:18:41]Why is she still not answering?

[00:18:43]>> Lucas, don't worry. Mrs. Smith will be here.

[00:19:01]Wow. What's going on, >> Lucas?

[00:19:04]I brought mom to you, Lucas. I made this cake just for you.

[00:19:21]Thank you for all these years of your help and care. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today.

[00:19:26]>> Mr. Smith, that junior of yours is really thoughtful. Yes. Yes. Look at her. She cares about you more than your own wife. Haha. Yeah. Yeah. Rachel, thank you.

[00:19:36]>> Lucas, I'm glad you're happy.

[00:19:38]>> Mr. Smith, come up and say a few words.

[00:19:40]Come on, say something. All right.

[00:19:43]Thanks to everyone's love and support.

[00:19:45]I'll just say a few words. All right.

[00:19:47]All right. Go ahead.

[00:19:53]Standing here today, the person I want to thank the most is the one who went through so much to raise me single-handedly, my mother.

[00:20:02]>> Mom, don't worry. Today, I will use the so-called birthday party to get justice for you.

[00:20:12]So, did you get the footage from the scene? found it at the intersection where it happened. Even though there were no security cameras, I checked all the cars parked on the street at the time. Finally, from a car's dash cam, I found clear footage. It captured the whole process crystal clear.

[00:20:27]>> Lily, go prepare the video.

[00:20:31]At Lucas's birthday party, in front of all the guests, I will expose Rachel's crimes, and I'll make Lucas deal with her personally.

[00:20:39]>> Yes.

[00:20:42]>> You've come so far, Lucas.

[00:20:45]Mrs. Smith would be so proud of you.

[00:20:47]>> I work hard so my mom can have a good life, but the party's been going for a while now. Why aren't Serena and my mom here yet?

[00:20:57]>> Easy, Lucas. Maybe there's traffic. Or maybe Serena's helping Mrs. Smith pack.

[00:21:04]It's your birthday. Mrs. Smith will definitely come.

[00:21:08]>> I got to go check.

[00:21:21]Serena, what's going on? Where's my mom?

[00:21:31]>> What's the rush?

[00:21:32]>> How could I not be? I've called mom dozens of times. She didn't answer any of them.

[00:21:38]You must have said something to mom.

[00:21:39]That's why she's mad at me. She won't pick up. Right. I'm telling you, if anything happens to my mom, I'll never forgive you.

[00:21:48]>> I'll never forgive you. That should be my line.

[00:21:51]>> It's my birthday. All the guests are important. Quit making a scene. Okay.

[00:21:57]Where's my mom?

[00:22:00]>> Don't worry. You'll see her soon enough.

[00:22:06]>> Wo! Serena, today is Lucas's birthday.

[00:22:10]After all, how come you're wearing all black? That's so bad luck.

[00:22:16]People might think you're cursing, Lucas. Yeah, on your own husband's birthday, you show up in all black.

[00:22:23]>> Serena, what are you doing in morning clothes? Are you trying to embarrass me?

[00:22:29]>> Lucas, why am I wearing morning clothes?

[00:22:32]Don't you know?

[00:22:34]>> That's all in the past. Why can't you let it go?

[00:22:37]>> Lucas, don't be mad. Okay.

[00:22:40]It's just Serena. I could forgive the all black outfit, but it doesn't look like you've prepared a birthday gift for Lucas. For Lucas's birthday, I've been preparing for weeks.

[00:22:52]>> Look at Rachel. I've been married to you for 3 years. You can't even compare to an outsider. Rachel remembered to order a cake and get me a gift. What about you? You show up in morning clothes just to ruin my day, huh?

[00:23:04]>> Mom's body isn't even cold yet. Lucas, tell me this. How am I supposed to be happy and wear bright colors for your birthday? And what gift could I prepare that would be worthy of this grand celebration of yours?

[00:23:22]Are you ever going to drop this, Serena?

[00:23:24]I know my mother-in-law died. You're upset. I understand, but today is my birthday, my most important day. You had to do this in front of all the guests just to embarrass me. What do you really want?

[00:23:39]What do I want? Didn't you keep asking for a birthday present from me? Fine, I'll give it to you now. Bring the birthday present up here.

[00:24:03]What is this?

[00:24:05]>> Here's your big birthday gift.

[00:24:14]This is my big gift to you.

[00:24:22]>> This This is an ern. That's such bad luck.

[00:24:26]>> It's actually an ern. Giving an urn as a gift. That's basically cursing someone.

[00:24:31]Looks like Lucas's family life isn't great. His wife actually gave him an urn. Serena, what are you doing?

[00:24:38]>> Serena, are you crazy? You brought your mother's ashes to my birthday party. Are you trying to ruin my party?

[00:24:48]>> You little sweetie. You >> I What do you mean I? I promise you, Serena, after the party ends, I'll go with you right away to your mother's grave to pay respects. Why did you have to disgust me like this, >> Serena? I know about your mom. You're upset.

[00:25:09]If you want to blame someone, blame her own bad luck. I really didn't mean to hit her. You can't blame me for that.

[00:25:21]>> Mom, watch out.

[00:25:32]>> Mom.

[00:25:34]Rachel bastard. You'll get what you deserve.

[00:25:46]Serena, have you gone mad?

[00:25:56]Are you okay, Lucas? I just wanted to comfort Serena.

[00:26:03]I never thought she would suddenly lash out at me.

[00:26:06]>> Serena, you lunatic. Why do you keep targeting Rachel over and over? What has Rachel ever done to you?

[00:26:13]>> Me bullying her. Do you know what she did?

[00:26:17]Chief Lucas, it's all my fault. I shouldn't be here.

[00:26:22]I upset Serena. Serena never liked you taking care of me. That's why she deliberately went after me. I think I'd better leave.

[00:26:37]>> Leave? No. If anyone should leave, it's not you. Serena, apologize to Rachel.

[00:26:44]>> Apologize to that murderer. She doesn't deserve it.

[00:26:49]>> Serena, you're hopeless. Just because my mom likes you, you think I won't divorce you? If you don't apologize today, even if my mom objects, I'll divorce you. You lunatic.

[00:27:00]>> Fine. I'd like nothing more.

[00:27:05]>> Even if my mom opposes it, I'm still divorcing you, you lunatic.

[00:27:10]You used to be so gentle, so kind. But now, because I look after Rachel, you keep going after her. Just when did you become so vicious, so unreasonable?

[00:27:22]>> Vicious? Lucas, you're calling me vicious.

[00:27:32]Lucas, take a break.

[00:27:36]>> Can't.

[00:27:38]This case is about to go to trial. I need to hurry and get these files organized.

[00:27:43]>> Is this case hard to win?

[00:27:45]>> My client helped an old man who fell, but the old man falsely accused him. If we don't win this case, how many good-hearted people will be disheartened? So, I have to clear my client's name.

[00:27:59]>> If one day I'm falsely accused, >> you will definitely choose to believe you.

[00:28:09]>> Um, Lucas, open your eyes and see clearly.

[00:28:18]The one who changed is not me. It's you.

[00:28:21]The one who once said you'd fight for justice all your life. The one who once firmly believed in me. It's you, Lucas.

[00:28:29]You've become completely unrecognizable.

[00:28:30]>> Enough, Serena. What the hell are you talking about? I think you're so worked up you're losing it. She brought it on herself with her own behavior. Why are you still harping on this? Let me tell you, Serena, with a daughter like you, it's no wonder she ended up like this.

[00:28:51]>> When you find out the truth later, you'll regret it. Impossible today. Either apologize to Rachel or else get the hell out of here.

[00:29:01]>> Lucas, you two, what are you doing?

[00:29:05]>> Mom, you're not dead.

[00:29:10]Then who is the one that died?

[00:29:14]Who the hell is that person?

[00:29:18]>> I'm standing right here, aren't I?

[00:29:21]Serena even asked me to come celebrate your birthday. Dead? No way. Ligus, have you been lately too heartbroken? Your mind's all foggy.

[00:29:30]>> Serena, what is going on? Didn't you keep saying that Rachel hit and killed your mom? What is going on?

[00:29:37]>> Lucas, when did I ever tell you my mom was the one who died?

[00:29:42]>> Then the one who died is No. No way. It can't be her. This is absolutely impossible. Serena, since your mother didn't die, then why did you appeal again and again? Could it be that you deliberately targeted me just for that?

[00:30:00]>> Exactly. You're out of your mind. You were so jealous that you went after Rachel and even wished your own mom dead. Are you even human?

[00:30:08]>> In your heart, that's what you think of me. A woman who, out of jealousy, would stop at nothing. A vicious woman.

[00:30:15]Obviously, Serena, you for some insurance scammer went after Rachel without hesitation.

[00:30:22]Even at my birthday party, you made a huge scene. If that's not vicious, what is >> insurance scam? Lucas, are you sure that to defend her, you would trample on a dead woman's dignity and innocence?

[00:30:36]>> Was I wrong? All the evidence Rachel provided proves the victim was running an insurance scam. Who's to blame?

[00:30:42]>> Lucas, how could you say that? Aren't you afraid that your mother would be heartbroken if she heard?

[00:30:46]>> My mom has always been the most reasonable person. She's law-abiding.

[00:30:50]She would never twist the truth or wrong an innocent person. She would definitely be on my side.

[00:30:55]>> Unfortunately, your mother was law-abiding her whole life, but after death, her own son has disgraced her.

[00:31:00]Lucas, what are you talking about? Do you even know who died?

[00:31:04]>> No matter who died as a lawyer, I'll always stand on the side of justice.

[00:31:09]Although I'm Serena's husband, I'll never let Serena's personal bias against Rachel cause Rachel to suffer an unjust accusation. How many people who believe in justice would be disheartened?

[00:31:19]Attorney Smith is right.

[00:31:20]>> Mrs. Smith, since it wasn't your mother who died, why would you over a stranger stir up trouble at home? Exactly, Serena. I'm curious, too. Since Mrs. Smith didn't die. Why do you insist on filing an appeal for that person and even fall out with Lucas over this? Could it be you and the victim are close or have some special relationship?

[00:31:48]>> You're right. There is a special relationship.

[00:31:54]>> Oh, I see. Who exactly died to make you so griefstricken, so desperate, even willing to divorce me? just to force me to give up defending Rachel.

[00:32:07]>> Serena, you wouldn't have done something against Lucas, would you? Your mind is dirty, so everything you see is dirty.

[00:32:14]But if you two have nothing going on, then why would you go to such lengths to appeal for him three times and even cause a scene at his birthday party?

[00:32:22]Lucas has been so good to you. How could you treat him like this?

[00:32:25]>> Serena, explain yourself. Who exactly is this person?

[00:32:32]Serena, everything is ready. Video connection successful. Ready to play at any time.

[00:32:38]>> You want to know who that person is, right? I'll tell you right now, >> Mom. Today, your daughter-in-law will get even for you.

[00:32:54]Here, eat some more. You've lost weight, dear.

[00:32:58]Thanks, Mom. Lucas, I'm going abroad for a while to rest up. You better treat Serena well or I'll be upset. Serena, here. Lucas's birthday gift.

[00:33:14]>> Mom. Mom, wake up.

[00:33:16]>> Serena, what are you doing?

[00:33:18]>> Serena.

[00:33:18]>> Serena, get down here right now. Isn't this embarrassing enough?

[00:33:30]Lucas, I'm asking you. If someone killed your mother, what would you do?

[00:33:34]>> What are you talking about? Are you trying to turn my mom against me? Fine.

[00:33:38]You skipped my birthday party and now you curse her.

[00:33:41]>> I just want your answer. If someone killed mom, what would you do?

[00:33:45]>> I'd make her rot in prison for life.

[00:33:48]>> You'd better mean it. Take a good look, Lucas. Don't you want to know who actually died? Haven't you been saying she was running an insurance scam? Fine.

[00:33:58]Today, I'll let you and all of you see what she really looks like.

[00:34:05]Mom, I'm here.

[00:34:11]Mom.

[00:34:18]Mom. Mom, are you okay? I'm calling an ambulance right now.

[00:34:26]Serena, here. Lucas.

[00:34:29]Birthday gift.

[00:34:37]Mom. Mom, wake up. Mom.

[00:34:41]Lucas. I I hit someone.

[00:34:46]Lucas, I I hit someone.

[00:34:51]How could the victim be Lucas's mother?

[00:34:53]It's her. She was feeding and ran over my mother-in-law.

[00:34:57]>> No way. That's impossible. My mom is still abroad. It can't be her. This video is fake.

[00:35:04]>> Mom wanted to surprise you. She came back early from abroad, but Rachel hit and killed her.

[00:35:10]>> No, this can't be.

[00:35:14]>> After all this, you still think I'm lying to you? Then look at that. Ah, look. Quick, look. What is that?

[00:35:42]>> No. Impossible. My mom is abroad, so it can't be her. Look, Lucas, these are mom's ashes now. Still don't believe it.

[00:35:58]I appealed again and again like a lunatic. I kept coming after Rachel.

[00:36:03]It's not about the money. I can't let mom die for nothing. And I can't let her spirit in heaven. Watch the hit and run killer walk free. But what about you?

[00:36:12]You won't help me. And over and over, you helped that murderer get away with it, nailing your own mother to the pillar of shame.

[00:36:20]>> Did you know that before mom died, she was still thinking about your birthday gift?

[00:36:26]>> How could this happen?

[00:36:28]>> How could this happen?

[00:36:38]>> Lus, here. Take this money. Mom, didn't all our family's money go to my tuition? Did you?

[00:36:48]Sell the bangle that grandmother left for you.

[00:36:53]>> I don't want to wear it anymore. So, take the money. Take care of yourself.

[00:37:00]>> In conclusion, my client is not guilty.

[00:37:03]Defense rests.

[00:37:05]The court now pronounces its judgment.

[00:37:08]The plaintiff Serena's accusation against the defendant Rachel of vehicular manslaughter is not sustained.

[00:37:13]The plaintiff's lawsuit is dismissed.

[00:37:21]>> Rachel >> Ligers, let me explain. It was an accident. I didn't mean to. I really didn't know it was Mrs. Smith. I really didn't know.

[00:37:35]>> You ran over my mother and killed her.

[00:37:38]I'll make you pay with your life.

[00:37:41]>> Oh crap. It was his own mother who died.

[00:37:45]How could it be her? Lucas is so devoted. He's not going to let me off.

[00:37:49]Lucas, look. Look at who you've been defending. What a monster. Just for such a venomous woman, you believed her lies.

[00:37:56]You dragged mom through the mud over and over. You framed her for an insurance scam. If mom knew that her beloved son would treat her like this after she died, she would never rest in peace.

[00:38:09]>> Mom, I'm so sorry.

[00:38:12]I've been a terrible son. I'm a monster.

[00:38:17]I'm not even human.

[00:38:34]You ran over my mom. You'll pay with your life.

[00:38:40]Let me go. She killed my mom. I'll make you pay.

[00:38:46]Let me go. I want her dead. She killed my mom. She ran over my mom. Lucas, now you know how it feels when the knife's in your own flesh. You finally feel the pain.

[00:38:57]>> No, Lucas, let me explain. It was an accident. I swear it was Mrs. Smith. She She just darted out of nowhere. It's not my fault, Lucas.

[00:39:09]Even now, you're still lying. Rachel, you were clearly distracted while driving. That's why you hit my mother-in-law. At a time like this, you're trying to dodge responsibility and frame my mother-in-law.

[00:39:21]Frame Rachel, I'll make sure you rot in jail. I want you dead.

[00:39:30]Rot in jail? Lucas, don't forget that you, the top tier lawyer, defended me three times.

[00:39:39]What she said, I deny it with just one video. You can't convict me.

[00:39:51]I'll make you pay with your life.

[00:39:53]>> Rachel, don't get too cocky.

[00:39:57]I will find the evidence. You won't get away.

[00:40:02]Throw this murderer out of here. Get her out of my mother's sight. Yes.

[00:40:16]Mom, your son has failed you.

[00:40:26]I deserve to die. I'm a monster. Mom, >> don't be so smug. I'll make you pay for this.

[00:40:41]>> Protective amulet. Protective amulet.

[00:40:52]Mom, your son knows he was wrong. I really messed up. Your son is a monster.

[00:41:00]Your son actually helped the murderer who killed you. I'm a monster.

[00:41:09]>> You represented Rachel in three lawsuits. One all three. Plus, the evidence isn't enough yet to convict her with just that video is tough, >> Serena.

[00:41:22]>> But we can't let mom leave with the accusation of an insurance scam. I'll find a way to gather more solid evidence and clear mom's name.

[00:41:36]This sign it. Look, between us, there's nothing left to say. I don't want anything to do with you anymore.

[00:41:45]>> No. Serena. Serena. I know I messed up.

[00:41:48]Serena, I'm begging you. Please give me another chance. You can hit me, yell at me, whatever. Just one more chance.

[00:41:54]Please.

[00:41:56]>> You're no longer the Lucas I used to know. I'm not the one you wronged. It was Mom.

[00:42:03]>> Serena, I was wrong. I was completely blinded by that woman, Rachel. I've already submitted new evidence to the court to sue Rachel. I'll use every connection and resource I have. I'll make sure she rots in jail. I'll make her pay. Corrupt law firm's top tier lawyer Lucas Smith and his wife Serena >> are in cahoots. Framing an innocent person.

[00:42:27]>> Clear my sister's name. Down with the corrupt law firm.

[00:42:32]I will make her pay the price.

[00:42:38]Top tier lawyer Lucas from the corrupt law firm and his wife Serena.

[00:42:43]>> They're in cahoots.

[00:42:44]>> Framing an innocent person.

[00:42:47]>> Clear Rachel's name down with a corrupt law firm.

[00:42:52]>> Rachel, how dare you come here? Everyone look. It's this corrupt couple.

[00:42:59]>> How could they do something like this?

[00:43:01]Oh my god. Unbelievable.

[00:43:06]They've driven me to depression. I even I even wanted to kill myself.

[00:43:12]>> That's right. Rachel is such a kind person. They drove her to the brink of jumping off a building. Everyone judge for yourselves. Is there no justice?

[00:43:23]Everyone be the judge. Is there no justice anymore?

[00:43:26]>> Their own mom died in an insurance scam and they blame others trying to extort money. How shameless. How could they do such a thing? Oh my god. Unbelievable.

[00:43:37]Seriously, this guy is way out of line.

[00:43:40]How could they do something like this?

[00:43:43]>> Rachel, you're lying through your teeth.

[00:43:45]Rachel is lying. I think you're full of crap. You sued Rachel three times. And Rachel won all three times. And you still won't let it go. Suing Rachel again. You just want money, don't you?

[00:43:56]>> That's right. I felt sorry for you at the time. I gave you $10,000 as a consolation. I never expected you to be so greedy. And you still won't leave me alone. This is just too much. If you ask me, they shouldn't get a single scent.

[00:44:12]>> Rachel, you're twisting the truth like that. Aren't you afraid of getting what you deserve?

[00:44:17]>> You're the ones twisting the truth. All right, everyone. Now, look at this. They still dare to threaten me out in the open. If I give up now, how many more innocent people will they hurt or destroy?

[00:44:30]>> That's right. Scum like that need to pay the price. Make them afraid to ever run wild in this society again.

[00:44:40]>> You murderer. After everything I did for you, you not only killed my mom and refused to confess, but you're also here slandering me and Serena.

[00:44:49]>> Ow ow ow. Help. The top tier lawyer is hitting me. The top tier lawyer is attacking someone. Everyone come quick and see this. Not only do they falsely accuse people, but they also assault people in public.

[00:45:07]>> Rachel, are you okay?

[00:45:10]>> How dare you lay a hand on Rachel?

[00:45:12]>> That's too much. Not only did you scam us, but you also hit someone. Where's the damn justice? I say we call the police.

[00:45:19]>> Have them both arrested and this scum runs a law firm. Who would ever trust such corrupt people to handle their cases?

[00:45:26]>> You scammed Rachel and then you laid your hands on her. compensation for emotional distress, medical bills. We want it all. Or I'll come here every day and raise hell until you shut this place down.

[00:45:38]Fine, you [ __ ] I can't believe that for you, I nailed my own mother to the cross.

[00:45:50]>> Lucas, are you okay?

[00:45:54]>> Lucas, are you okay?

[00:45:56]>> I'm fine.

[00:45:58]It's my own fault for being so blind and stupid. I deserve it, >> Lucas. Back then, you were the one who jumped at the chance to defend me. I didn't ask you to. Now you're turning on me. Too late.

[00:46:12]>> Rachel, do you think that by making a scene and twisting the truth? We really can't produce any evidence. Evidence?

[00:46:19]Serena? What evidence could you possibly have? Isn't it just what I said at the birthday party? Those words. Who's going to believe you now? Everyone will think you're talking nonsense.

[00:46:31]>> You really won't give up until the bitter end. Rachel, since you're so confident, I'll make you say it out loud in front of everyone.

[00:46:43]Hello.

[00:46:46]>> Who knows what they're up to now?

[00:46:50]>> Serena, we got the evidence.

[00:46:54]Everyone, this is from Rachel's car. The EDR data I retrieved, the data shows at the time of the accident, Rachel's car was not only speeding severely, but also her dash cam recorded the moment she hits someone. Really?

[00:47:09]>> Impossible.

[00:47:11]Lucas, you'll love the gift I bought you.

[00:47:21]After the accident, I clearly deleted the dash cam and all the records I could delete. It's impossible to recover.

[00:47:29]>> Rachel, if you're not guilty, why did you delete it?

[00:47:33]>> So, it really was her. Who would have thought?

[00:47:37]>> Don't listen to her nonsense.

[00:47:39]>> You think deleting the data makes it foolproof? With today's technology, recovering deleted data is not difficult.

[00:47:46]This flash drive holds the evidence of your intentional homicide enough to bring you to justice and put you away for life. What? What? What intentional homicide?

[00:47:57]You're lying. I clearly just bent down to pick something up. Who knew I'd hit that old hag? This can't be intentional homicide.

[00:48:06]>> So, it really was her.

[00:48:10]>> Everyone heard that, right? She admitted it herself. He bent down to pick up his phone, which is reckless driving. And that's how he killed my mother-in-law.

[00:48:19]My mother-in-law wasn't trying to pull an insurance scam.

[00:48:23]>> Rachel, you killed my mom and then lied, claiming my mom was trying to scam us.

[00:48:31]>> That's so vicious. She killed someone and she's still putting on an act, playing the victim. We almost fell for it. She's even blaming the victim's family.

[00:48:40]That's not true.

[00:48:43]You and your sister are here disturbing the peace and committing slander and defamation. Do you want to join her in jail?

[00:48:50]>> No, no, no. It's not my business. Rachel made me come. She said if we caused enough trouble, she'd give me money to buy a house.

[00:48:57]>> What are you talking about?

[00:49:00]>> What does that have to do with me? I'm out of here.

[00:49:03]>> Ryan, you ungrateful jerk.

[00:49:10]Let me tell you that flash drive, it's empty.

[00:49:14]>> What?

[00:49:15]>> I just bluffed a little and you spilled everything.

[00:49:19]You You dare trick me.

[00:49:24]>> So what if I did? How does it feel to be publicly humiliated and betrayed by your own brother? Rachel, you owe this to my mother-in-law.

[00:49:37]Lucas, I'm begging you. I really know I was wrong. I never meant to kill Mrs. Smith. I didn't think it would come to this. Lucas, >> you don't know you were wrong. You know you're done for.

[00:49:51]>> Lucas, you used to be so good to me.

[00:49:54]Just let it slide this one time. I barely made it out of the countryside.

[00:49:59]With your help, I got into college. If I go to jail, my life is over.

[00:50:05]He supported you through college. When you were in college, he had just graduated. He was still finding his feet. Where would he get the money to support you? The one who supported you has always been my mother-in-law.

[00:50:21]Take a good look. All these years, the one covering your tuition and living expenses is my mother-in-law, Martha.

[00:50:36]No way. How could this be? This can't be happening.

[00:50:41]My mom, she heard about you from me. You two are from the same place. She knows you got into college from a rural area, and it wasn't easy. So, she pinched pennies and sent almost all her tiny pension straight to you.

[00:50:56]You never really know a person. Guess she got what she deserved. Never thought it would turn out like this. hid and killed her own benefactor, then framed her. Framed her.

[00:51:05]>> I had no idea. I I always thought that Lucas was the one supporting me.

[00:51:12]You got in the way, so I just wanted to scare you. I never meant to kill my benefactor, Rachel. When you were at rock bottom with no money for tuition and on the verge of dropping out, she used every penny she saved to change your life. And you for your own selfish desires, you ran her over and killed her. Where's your conscience?

[00:51:37]I'm a monster.

[00:51:41]Mrs. Smith, I'm so sorry.

[00:51:46]I confess. I confess and accept being brought to justice. It was me. I was driving recklessly. I hit Mrs. Smith.

[00:51:55]And it was me who framed her for an insurance scam. I did wrong. I am willing to accept legal punishment.

[00:52:09]Mom, your son and Serena came to see you. I've been a bad son. I know I've done a lot of wrong things, bringing you so much undeserved disgrace. I know I was wrong.

[00:52:20]I'm handling a lot of legal aid cases now, specifically to help those poor people who can't afford lawyers. I will atone for my sins with the rest of my life.

[00:52:33]Mom, Rachel has been brought to justice.

[00:52:36]Your name has finally been cleared. I hope you're up in heaven and at peace.

[00:52:50]Mom, is that you? You came to see us.

[00:52:53]>> Mom, don't worry. Serena and I will be fine. Don't worry about us. You can rest easy now.

[00:53:11]Serena, I know I hurt you too deeply.

[00:53:14]You have every right not to forgive me.

[00:53:17]I've signed the divorce papers. I've transferred all my shares in the law firm to you. I'm leaving with nothing.

[00:53:27]>> Thank you.

[00:53:28]>> I'm the one who should thank you. Thank you for coming with me to see mom one last time.

[00:53:36]>> We both need to take care.
