00:00Carla, I need you to grab all your stuff and get out of here.
00:06What? Why?
00:07What, do you think I'm stupid? I already know you're pregnant and didn't tell me.
00:11Sir, what are you doing?
00:13Let me go, you're hurting me. I'm not pregnant.
00:16Yeah, someone already told me they saw you leaving the clinic. I don't care what you have to say. I want you out of here.
00:20I already told you I'm not pregnant.
00:23Sir, please don't yell at her like that.
00:25Why are you sticking your nose in, huh? You know perfectly well that I do not hire pregnant women, because they use it as an excuse to simply slack off.
00:33And I'm not paying someone to sit like they're at home.
00:35I swear to God I'm not.
00:37Fine, then take off your jacket.
00:39Hold on, Mr. Roy. I think this is really humiliating for my co-worker.
00:43Look, shut your mouth or you're fired too.
00:46So then, you gonna do it?
00:47What'd I say? I know you're four months pregnant, so pack your things and get out.
00:57Mr. Roy, please, I'm begging you. I need the health insurance from this job.
01:01And why should I care, Carla?
01:03When I hired you, I was very clear that I do not hire pregnant women, because they just mess up the work.
01:08Sir, I'm begging you.
01:10Look, boss, I get you're upset because my co-worker lied to you, but I don't think that's grounds for firing her.
01:16In fact, if you fire her, I quit too.
01:20Huh. Perfect, then. Both of you get out.
01:23Isaac, I have so many debts to pay. What am I gonna do?
01:27Relax. We'll figure out how to help you with that later.
01:30You shouldn't have to put up with this kind of treatment. Let's go.
01:33I just wanted to have a child. What's wrong with that?
01:37It's not your fault. Don't be sad.
01:41Come on.
01:46Miss, if you'd like, I can ring you up.
01:51Uh, no. I'm not buying anything anymore.
01:54But why? Miss, we have zero interest installments.
02:03Honey, what happened? Why is the box on the floor?
02:06I fired Carla and Isaac.
02:08And why?
02:08Because they weren't doing their jobs the way that I wanted.
02:10Well, they were lazy, but now we're left with no employees.
02:14Yeah, I know. But don't worry about it. I'll figure something out.
02:17Okay, calm down. Don't stress. You'll stress the baby.
02:20Listen, we don't even know if that's gonna work out.
02:23Look, let's think positive.
02:25That'll work, and we'll be parents if the IVF procedure helps us.
02:28I don't know what I'm gonna do, Isaac.
02:33I don't think I can get another job, and that IVF procedure was so expensive.
02:38Now I'm deep in credit card debt.
02:41Look, I know. But now more than ever, you need to understand that we're here to support you.
02:46I'll help you. You can stay at my place as long as you need.
02:49I can get a job while you look for another one.
02:51Don't worry. I don't want to be a burden.
02:54After all, I'm the one who chose to be a mother.
02:57Of course it's not your fault.
02:59You have every right to make decisions about your body, however you want.
03:02You shouldn't feel bad about that.
03:03It's just that workplaces don't accept pregnant women.
03:07That's exactly why I didn't want to tell Roy.
03:09Well, yeah. But everything will work out.
03:12You just have to trust me.
03:14And if not, we always have a plan B.
03:16I don't know. For example, you could...
03:19Wait. I know. Maybe you could find the baby's father.
03:21Is there any way to know who the donor is?
03:23No. No, I don't think so.
03:24Well, anyway, it's pointless. That's not what I want.
03:28There's a reason I chose to be a single mother.
03:31Relax. I'm just kidding.
03:32Though I do hope it was at least a handsome guy, right?
03:35But take it easy.
03:36Right now, you just need to relax.
03:39You'll see you'll find a new job soon.
03:41Thanks, Isaac. You're a great friend.
03:42Doctor, I'm so excited. I'm going to be a mom.
03:49I... I don't know how to tell you this.
03:51Yes or no?
03:53It's more complicated than a yes or no.
03:55Just answer the question that we are asking you.
03:58I know. But I think it's important for your wife to know.
04:02It is my duty as a doctor.
04:04Miss Andrea, you're not expecting a child.
04:07But why not? I follow all the rules of the letter and everything you asked me to do.
04:12I know. But let me explain.
04:15It's not your fault or your husband's.
04:18It's ours.
04:20We used your husband's sample on another woman.
04:23And I'm truly sorry.
04:25This has to be a joke.
04:26We spent millions at this mediocre clinic.
04:29And now you're telling me this?
04:31Honey.
04:32You knew, didn't you?
04:33That's why you didn't want me to say anything?
04:35No, of course not. I swear I didn't know anything.
04:37Who did you give the sample to?
04:39I can tell you that.
04:40Tell me. If not, I'll sue you.
04:42Okay. Okay. Please.
04:44Calm down.
04:45I beg you to do it.
04:47It's Carla.
04:57And you always knew.
04:59Honey, please calm down. Yes.
05:01That's why you fired her from the fatigue, right?
05:03At least let me explain what happened, Andrea.
05:06I don't know what you're gonna do, but the child is not being born.
05:09Andrea.
05:11Andrea, where are you going? Wait.
05:17Yes. You're perfect for the job.
05:23You have no idea how hard it's been to find a housekeeper.
05:26Thank you so much.
05:28No, you don't have to thank me.
05:31Oh, let me think about it.
05:33You're hired.
05:34Really?
05:35I'm so grateful, ma'am.
05:38Don't mention that.
05:39Look, here's everything you need for the job.
05:42In fact, how about this?
05:44To motivate you even more,
05:45I'll give you an advance on your salary.
05:47Maybe you have some credit card bills or rent to pay.
05:51Oh, you've been so kind to me.
05:54I almost feel bad hiding it from you.
05:57What?
06:01Oh, I'm sorry, but please, I really need this job.
06:06But now more than ever, I need to work to earn money for my baby.
06:12Oh, girl, you're putting me in a tough spot.
06:14But fine, you've got the job.
06:17Thank you so much, really.
06:19I know how hard it is for a woman to go through a pregnancy.
06:24But look, there's not much to do here.
06:26The biggest room is my daughter's, and she hardly ever comes home.
06:29Even so, I'm so grateful for this opportunity.
06:33Don't worry, sweetheart.
06:35Let's go get your uniform fitted.
06:36And if it doesn't fit, I'll buy you another one.
06:38Hi, I'm here for my severance pay, and Carla's.
06:44Where is she?
06:45I told her to come with you.
06:46She didn't want to come.
06:47That's why she sent me for the money.
06:49I need to know where Carla is.
06:50Why do you want to know that?
06:52Didn't she get enough humiliation?
06:53What is it to you?
06:54Just tell me.
06:55I'm not telling you.
06:56Fine.
06:57How much money do you want?
06:58I might even give her her job back.
06:59It's not about the money.
07:01Carla wants nothing to do with you.
07:03You were a terrible boss.
07:04There you crossed the line.
07:06Well, perfect then.
07:06Then I'm not giving you a single cent until Carla comes.
07:09Don't give us anything.
07:10And I don't know why you're so desperate to find Carla.
07:13But I'll never tell you anything.
07:14You have no idea what's going on.
07:15Carla can't be alone right now.
07:17What's happening here?
07:19Ah.
07:20Yes, Andrea.
07:22Nice to meet you.
07:23You know your husband fired Carla and me, right?
07:25Where's Carla?
07:27Okay, go there.
07:29What do you want with Carla?
07:29That is none of your business.
07:32Here's your money, and I want you out of here.
07:35Okay.
07:35I hope I never see you again.
07:39What happened?
07:40Why did you let him go?
07:41Did he tell you where Carla is?
07:43He said she left the country.
07:44Where is Carla?
07:45He doesn't know, either.
07:47Listen, you'd better find her.
07:49And make sure that baby isn't born.
07:51Because if it is, I'll divorce you.
07:54And I'll take everything from you.
07:55No, no, honey.
08:01This is wrong.
08:02We have to...
08:02I don't understand why nothing is happening.
08:04Carla's baby can't be born.
08:09It's the lady's daughter.
08:11It's Andrea.
08:11The weird thing is...
08:14Why is she hiding her?
08:15Let's see what he does.
08:16But he has to find her.
08:17And if not, I'll look for her myself.
08:19Because the child is not being born.
08:21What did you say her name was?
08:22What's that noise?
08:28Don't talk, Zuri.
08:30Can you come here, please?
08:32Mom, who are you talking to?
08:34My new employee.
08:35And if it's who I think it is.
08:37Bring them here.
08:38Yes, Mom.
08:40Isaac, please.
08:41You have to come get me.
08:42I went to the wrong place.
08:44The lady and Andrea...
08:46Who are you talking to?
08:48No one.
08:49I swear on my child, I didn't know anything.
08:52Oh, sweetie.
08:53I don't care if you knew or not.
08:54What you do need to know is we're not sharing Roy's money with you.
08:58I'm not asking for money.
09:00I don't know about that.
09:01And I don't know why they're protecting you.
09:02But we have to do something.
09:05No, please.
09:06Don't hurt us.
09:07We'll think about that.
09:09Or rather, how we'll do it.
09:11But for now, you're not leaving.
09:15Hey, where is she?
09:17What?
09:18Don't play dumb with me.
09:19Where's Carla?
09:19I asked you a question.
09:20I have no idea where Carla is.
09:22What do you mean, no idea?
09:24Why are you so obsessed with Carla?
09:25Huh?
09:26She hasn't called me in three days.
09:28She went to her housekeeping job, never came back.
09:31So I need to know where she is.
09:33This can't be happening.
09:33This can't be happening.
09:34What's the name of the lady she went to work for?
09:36Where does she live?
09:37Residential, Mike.
09:37I think her name was Monica.
09:39Isaac, we have to go find Carla right now.
09:41What?
09:42Why?
09:42What are you talking about?
09:43Hurry up!
09:48Keep mopping the floor.
09:49You still have the patio.
09:50Ma'am, I need to use the bathroom and I'm really hungry.
09:55I'll get that.
09:57And you shut up.
09:58Why are you stopping?
09:59Keep cleaning.
10:00Don't be noisy.
10:05Roy, what are you doing here?
10:06Where is she?
10:08No, I don't know.
10:09I don't know what you're talking about.
10:10No one's here.
10:11Don't lie to us.
10:12We know Carla is here.
10:14We know she came to work and that she's here.
10:16That's a lie.
10:17And you better leave my house or I'll call the police.
10:19Let us through now.
10:21You can just barge into my house.
10:22Carla!
10:23Carla!
10:24Carla!
10:28I'm here!
10:33Carla, I'm so sorry, really.
10:35This is all my fault, but I should have told you that I was scared of what Andrea might
10:40do to you.
10:41And the irony is, the exact thing I didn't want to happen did.
10:44I just wanted to protect you, Carla, really.
10:48Now I have no choice but to apologize and try to save the only child that I can have.
10:53Andrea cannot have kids, so I'm willing to pay whatever it takes.
10:58Roy, sometimes it's not about the money.
11:01I don't know if my baby will make it.
11:03What did the doctors tell you?
11:06We don't know yet.
11:07They're still running tests, but it looks like the worst.
11:11Oh no, Carla, please.
11:12I can't lose my child.
11:14I want to be a father.
11:15And I wanted to be a mother.
11:16And look what happened to me.
11:18But I can take you to another clinic.
11:20We can do something, anything.
11:21It's too late.
11:28It's been almost a year since that day, and I can't help but feel my heartbreak when
11:33I think about my baby and what could have been.
11:36Sweetheart, the baby's crying.
11:40Let me, love.
11:41Here you go.
11:42But thank God, my story didn't end badly.
11:46Even so, after everything I went through during my pregnancy, I can't stop thinking about
11:51how many women have been through something similar or worse.
11:54And it makes me question how far we have to go as a society so that pregnant women are treated
12:00with dignity and empathy in the workplace and at home.
12:04This story may or may not be fiction, but it could be happening right now to someone in
12:09the world.
12:10And if you're a woman who's ever faced unfair treatment because you were pregnant, tell
12:13us in the comments.
12:14Let's make this a space for reflection.
12:17Let's make this a space for you.
