A pregnant woman says the baby is Joe Cole's, the chairman of Cole Corp, and pleads that he can provide help. Neighbors and relatives label her a liar, mock her claim and escalate to threats to force an abortion. The crowd seizes and drags her, ordering her around and ignoring her repeated pleas that she's telling the truth and begging them not to hurt the baby. The confrontation becomes physical and culminates with a bystander's shout, "Release her!" as she is hauled away, leaving her immediate safety and the child's future unresolved.
