"Yes, we didn't mean to hurt anyone. We just wanted money."

"Yeah, it was Emily Hastings, that bitch. She pushed that guy onto the knife... it has nothing to do with us, really nothing!"

As Scott was trying to help her escape, someone grabbed her hair. Just after Scott pushed those people away, Emily turned around and, without him knowing, pushed him onto the knife's edge.

Scott took the knife directly in the back, and the people were so shocked that they immediately pulled it out. Emily ran away without even looking back. Heather had disappeared long ago.

If either of them had just turned to check on Scott and got him to a hospital in time, things wouldn't have ended up like this. She dragged the progress bar back, and the scene played again.
