His Mistress Put a Price on My Daughter’s Life

4 episodes

Go to the full screening

A hit-and-run reveals the driver is the husband's mistress's son, and the bribe card belongs to the wife's own husband.

At a crosswalk, a speeding luxury sedan strikes a young girl, leaving her unconscious and bleeding. The driver is a boy too young for a license. His mother — the husband's mistress — approaches with contempt, pinches her nose, and slaps a black credit card across the grieving mother's face, demanding a price for the child's life. The card's distinctive pattern is instantly recognizable: it is the secondary card the wife gave her husband a month earlier for the exact model of car that just hit their daughter. Facing the woman who holds her husband's betrayal in hand, the mother counters the offer with a cold question about the value of the boy's own life.
