Short filmTranscript
00:00After the father passed away, he left behind an old worn-out leather bag.
00:04When Sam opened it, he found something shocking, $150,000 in cash.
00:09At first, he thought he had hit the jackpot, but his excitement quickly turned to anger.
00:14Because inside the bag, there was also a note with a name and an address,
00:18asking Sam to deliver the money to someone named Frankie.
00:21Confused and torn, Sam didn't know what to do.
00:24How could he just give $150,000 to a complete stranger like that?
00:28Determined to find out who this person was, Sam went to the address.
00:32There, he found a woman living with her child.
00:35Convinced she must have been his father's mistress, he tried to listen in.
00:39It seemed she had just received terrible news over the phone.
00:42She rushed to a neighbor's house, ripped out a page from a newspaper, and hurried off.
00:47Sam followed her to a church, where a support group meeting was being held.
00:51As he listened to people share their stories, his curiosity about the woman grew.
00:55Who was she? What was her connection to his father?
00:58But when she finally stood up to speak, what she said left Sam completely stunned.
01:02American record producer Jerry Harper died in Los Angeles Tuesday after a long battle with cancer.
01:09He is survived by his wife and son.
01:14Sam realized that the woman in front of him was his half-sister.
01:33After the meeting ended, Sam went up to introduce himself.
01:37He hadn't yet decided if he wanted to reveal their connection.
01:40He was just curious about what kind of person his sister was.
01:43However, after a brief chat, Sam didn't get any useful information.
01:48Back home, Sam told his girlfriend everything that had happened and said he had decided to keep the $150,000 for himself.
01:55However, his girlfriend was strongly against it, insisting that Sam should at least tell his mother first.
02:00Sam, though, had already made up his mind and wasn't willing to listen.
02:04The argument escalated, and his girlfriend, disappointed and thinking Sam was blinded by greed, left him.
02:11What she didn't know was that Sam had been in serious debt due to a work mistake and was even facing legal trouble.
02:16That money was like a lifeline to him.
02:18However, her reaction hit him like a harsh slap in the face, leaving Sam frustrated and conflicted.
02:25Feeling unsettled, Sam found himself in his father's old studio, a place he hadn't been to since he was 8 years old.
02:31He looked around at the shelves full of CDs and the photos covering the walls, realizing how little he actually knew about his father.
02:38He never imagined his dad had another family.
02:41What was even harder to swallow was that his half-sister seemed to have been the favorite.
02:44Despite his feelings of resentment, Sam decided to learn more about his father's other family.
02:50After all, they were connected by blood.
02:52He began watching his nephew, waiting outside the boys' school, and followed him into a record store.
02:58There, he saw the boy sneakily pocket a CD when no one was looking.
03:02Sam told his nephew not to steal.
03:04But to his surprise, Josh not only ignored the advice but also snapped back, saying Sam was meddling in his business and threatening to bite his finger off.
03:11Sam was left speechless and had no choice but to pay for the CD and drive the kid home.
03:16During their conversation, Sam learned that his sister, Frankie, worked at a hotel downtown.
03:22However, when he arrived, he realized it was not a hotel at all but rather a lively bar.
03:27Concerned, Sam felt a knot in his stomach.
03:30But when he saw Frankie serve a customer and then turn around with an unwilling expression, he couldn't help but smile.
03:36Once the bar cleared out and the customers were gone, Sam decided to approach Frankie again.
03:40To avoid looking like a total stalker, he acted like it was a coincidence.
03:45Are you following me?
03:46No, I had a work thing in the lobby downstairs at 8 p.m. just ended.
03:51Thought I'd come up and check out the view in the pool.
03:54Uh-huh. You know when people are lying, they tend to over-invent details.
03:58To ease the awkwardness, Sam quickly changed the subject,
04:02mentioning that he had just happened to pass by the church last time and was sorry to hear about Frankie's father's passing.
04:06However, Frankie brushed it off, saying she didn't need sympathy because the bastard had abandoned her and her mother when she was just 8 years old.
04:15Sam nodded, saying his father had just passed away too and hadn't left him with a good impression either.
04:20So he totally understood Frankie's feelings.
04:22But before Sam could ask more, Frankie cut the conversation short, claiming she had to go home and take care of her child.
04:29The next day, Sam packed the money that was supposed to go to Frankie into his suitcase,
04:34planning to head back to New York and pay off his debts.
04:36But when he spotted the backpack Josh had left on the sofa, his heart softened.
04:40Meanwhile, Josh was causing trouble at school.
04:43He threw a piece of sodium into the pool, which caused an explosion and left a hole in the ground.
04:48The principal called Frankie in, ready to expel Josh.
04:51Despite Frankie pleading with the principal, she remained unmoved.
04:55But after thinking for a moment, she quickly came up with a clever argument.
05:00She blamed the school for letting students easily access sodium,
05:03pointing out that it was clearly a failure in management.
05:05If it weren't for Josh's quick reflexes, he could have been injured.
05:09She refrained from filing a complaint against the school, which she felt was already generous.
05:14The principal understood Frankie's implied threat and agreed to revoke Josh's expulsion,
05:19but with the condition that he must undergo psychological treatment.
05:22Unfortunately, Frankie's work schedule made it difficult for her to get him to appointments on time.
05:27She had to make excuses, explaining that it was because there were too many parents picking up their children.
05:32But Josh quickly blew her cover.
05:34No, it wasn't.
05:35It kind of was.
05:36It kind of wasn't.
05:37Can I talk to you alone for a second?
05:39Eventually, the therapist refused to provide any more treatment for them.
05:43That night, Frankie, feeling troubled after just leaving a support group,
05:47accidentally dropped her cigarette, but into her bag.
05:50As she scrambled to dump everything out of her bag, Sam appeared in front of her again.
05:54But this time, he was there to say goodbye.
05:57Sam asked how she had been lately, and Frankie, seeming to find a release, spilled all her recent struggles.
06:04Hearing what Frankie was going through, Sam couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
06:07You seem like a really, like a really great person.
06:14And I'm not a professional parent or whatever, but I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as a textbook love.
06:29The kid's really lucky to have me.
06:34Bye, Frankie.
06:35Sam's sincere comfort finally allowed Frankie to lower her guard.
06:40She started sharing her past as if she were talking to an old friend she'd known for years.
06:44It turned out that Frankie had once been a heavy drinker, constantly caught between sobriety and hangovers.
06:50It was only when her son was born that everything changed.
06:53As a kid, she always wanted her father to care for her.
06:56But he remained cold and heartless, abandoning them for another family.
07:00Seizing the moment, Sam asked Frankie what she thought about this other family.
07:04But to his surprise, his sister said,
07:06I hated them.
07:08They got him.
07:09The next morning, Sam canceled his plans to return to New York.
07:13He lied, claiming there was a sudden change at work and that he needed to stay here a bit longer.
07:18Perhaps out of guilt or sympathy for his sister's situation, he took Frankie and Josh out for a seafood feast and accompanied them to watch a beautiful sunset.
07:25At that moment, Sam didn't realize that everything he was doing was stirring feelings of affection in Frankie for this stranger.
07:32That night, Sam couldn't sleep.
07:34The next day, he handed over the $150,000 left by his father to a lawyer, asking them to pass it on to Frankie.
07:41Afterward, he took Josh out to buy a ton of groceries, filling the fridge to the brim.
07:46However, when Frankie got home, she didn't seem happy.
07:49She had received a call from the lawyer about picking up her father's inheritance, but she didn't want to accept anything from the jerk who had abandoned her.
07:57Sam encouraged Frankie, telling her she could use the money to buy a house, get a degree, and change jobs.
08:03This wouldn't just be good for her.
08:04It would also greatly benefit Josh's future.
08:07But Frankie became wary at his words.
08:09She realized that Sam was getting closer to her family, even forgetting that he would eventually leave.
08:14The thought of how Josh would handle Sam's departure was too much for her to bear.
08:18What do you want here?
08:21You want me to tell you to stay?
08:23No, no.
08:24Is that what you're looking for?
08:27I said it. I just, I would like you guys to be happy. That's it.
08:34That's all you want?
08:40She had developed feelings for the man in front of her due to his constant care and attention.
08:44But she had no idea that this man was actually her half-brother.
08:47When Frankie was eight, her father abandoned her and her mother, choosing another family.
08:52Before he passed away, her father left behind an inheritance of $150,000 for Frankie, which is how Sam found out about his half-sister.
09:01However, Sam hadn't revealed his true identity to Frankie yet, because he knew she resented him and his mother.
09:07But now, the situation was slowly spiraling out of control, and Sam realized he couldn't hide the truth much longer.
09:13He knew he'd have to come clean eventually.
09:16Just as Sam was struggling with how to tell Frankie the truth, he suddenly heard the sound of his mother falling.
09:21He rushed to the living room to check on her, but his mother insisted it was just a trip.
09:26However, Sam wasn't convinced.
09:28He checked her medical records and discovered she had been diagnosed with arteriosclerosis years ago, something she had kept secret from everyone.
09:35Even after Sam confronted her, she refused to undergo any surgery.
09:40With everything happening recently, Sam couldn't shake the feeling that all of their family's tragedies stemmed from his cold and unfaithful father.
09:47Seeing that your father is too dead to defend himself, you got me.
09:51Let's hear all about how bad you had it.
09:53He was a liar.
09:55Professionally?
09:56It's a lot to live down to.
09:57Under his mother's persistent questioning, Sam finally revealed the truth.
10:01However, when he mentioned his sister's name, his mother's extreme reaction made it clear that she had already known about her all along.
10:08Did you know?
10:10Answer me.
10:11Did you know?
10:11I don't know what you're talking about.
10:13Oh my God.
10:14He hit $150,000 and gave me instructions to give it to her.
10:20Stop it.
10:22He wanted us to meet.
10:23I don't want to hear this.
10:24He has a grandson.
10:27What did you do?
10:30What did you do?
10:31It's been lovely to see you, Sam.
10:36Maybe we'll do it again in another couple of years.
10:40Seeing how things had come to this, helpless Sam decided to leave and return to New York, where he still had to face the lawsuit his company had filed against him.
10:48Before leaving, he picked a few of his father's CDs to give to his nephew, Josh.
10:53However, when Josh found out, he didn't want Sam to go and asked him to spend more time together.
10:59Remembering what his sister had said, Sam decided not to give Josh any false hope.
11:03Enough with it.
11:04Enough with it.
11:04Enough.
11:05Okay?
11:06Let's eat pizza, Sam.
11:08Let's play video games.
11:09I have real shit to deal with.
11:10I can't babysit you because you don't have any real friends.
11:14Don't look at me like that.
11:15I have to go back to New York now.
11:18Will you tell Frankie that I'll call her when I get there?
11:22Will you tell her, douche?
11:23I'm not your fucking secretary.
11:26Despite this, Sam still decided to leave.
11:29He didn't want the misunderstanding between Frankie and Josh to deepen.
11:32Just as he was about to board his flight, Frankie called again.
11:36After their argument, Josh had been bullied by two students once more.
11:40But this time, instead of backing down, he grabbed a book and knocked one of the bullies to the ground.
11:45Frankie was on her way to the school and hoped Sam could come too.
11:48But when she learned he was already at the airport, she hung up the phone, disappointed.
11:52However, when she rushed to the school, she found that Sam was already there and had taken care of everything.
11:58Back home, as Sam looked at Josh lying in bed, it reminded him of his younger self.
12:04He tried to console Josh much like his father would have done.
12:07Slowly, Josh opened up and made peace with his mother and Sam.
12:11After putting Josh to bed, Frankie walked over and hugged Sam tightly.
12:15She had never felt such a strong desire to lean on someone before.
12:18But Sam gently pushed her away, knowing that if he didn't reveal the truth now, the misunderstanding would only worsen.
12:25I'm his son.
12:28Jerry, he's my father.
12:33He asked me to give you the money.
12:36I wanted to tell you.
12:37I should have told you.
12:38I was just...
12:38Stop.
12:39Stop.
12:39Stop.
12:42Frankie, I'm so...
12:43Get out.
12:44I'm so sorry.
12:45Get out.
12:46Frankie, get out.
12:47Get out.
12:49Get out of my house.
12:51I'm ready.
12:52I'm going.
12:52I'm here.
12:53Get out.
13:02With nowhere else to go, Sam reluctantly returned home, feeling overwhelmed.
13:08But when he opened the door, he was greeted by his mother's beaming smile.
13:11Knowing it was too late to return to the company, Sam decided to put his troubles aside and focus on taking his mother for the surgery she had been avoiding.
13:19That night, he gathered the courage to call his girlfriend.
13:23I also really wanted to tell you that I...
13:25If you're happy with your message, press 1.
13:28To delete this message, press 2.
13:31Sam had already given up hope, but on the day of the surgery, his girlfriend suddenly appeared in front of him.
13:37Finish your sentence.
13:40That's the other reason you were calling.
13:42Sam apologized for what he did before, and his girlfriend was relieved.
13:46She had always hoped that Sam would become the responsible and mature man he now was.
13:51Being a lawyer, she offered to help Sam resolve his company's lawsuit.
13:55Meanwhile, Sam's mother finally confessed everything from the past.
13:59She revealed that when she found out her husband had two families, she pressured him to make a choice.
14:04This led him to abandon Frankie and her mother, choosing Sam and his mother instead.
14:09It was cruel for Frankie, but everything Sam's mother did was out of a desire to protect her son.
14:13The real blame lay with Sam's father, who had created two families and left devastation in his wake.
14:19After the confession, Sam's mother handed him an old videotape.
14:23When Sam watched it, he was stunned by what he saw.
14:26He rushed to Frankie's place, but when he peeked through the window, he realized the house was empty.
14:31It turned out that Frankie had finally gone to the lawyer's office to collect the $150,000 inheritance, just as Sam had once advised.
14:39She had found a new home and decided to improve herself to give Josh a better future.
14:43One day, while Josh was playing with his phone, he stumbled across a video of him and Sam together.
14:49Watching the footage reminded him of the joy Sam had brought into his life.
14:53Feeling nostalgic, he secretly searched through the yellow pages while his mother wasn't looking and found Sam's address.
14:59In that moment, Sam's mother realized that the boy before her was Frankie's son.
15:22After much internal struggle, she ultimately accepted the child.
15:26That day, while Frankie was on her way home with Josh, she saw Sam waiting at her doorstep.
15:31She knew this was all Josh's doing, but now that it had come to this, Frankie had no choice but to confront the situation.
15:38Sam honestly told his sister that before he met them, he felt like a failure, accomplishing nothing and being quite selfish.
15:45He had even considered taking the inheritance that belonged to Frankie for himself.
15:48But now, all he wanted was to protect his family.
15:52As for Frankie, she didn't know how to trust Sam again or how to handle their relationship.
15:56How am I ever supposed to trust you?
16:01Because...
16:03Because we're family.
16:09And families make mistakes.
16:11And I am the...
16:12I'm the king of mistakes.
16:14I'm asking you to forgive me.
16:22And I know it's a lot.
16:23I just...
16:26Let me be your brother.
16:30I am your brother.
16:33I want you to be my sister.
16:39It's all I want.
16:40I think I waited my whole life
16:45for him to come back to me.
16:52Is that you?
16:54Hearing this, Sam handed the letter of his father's will to his sister,
16:59which clearly stated a sentence.
17:00Then Sam played the videotape that his mother had given him.
17:11In the footage, young Frankie was often taken to the park by her mother,
17:15where she frequently complained about why her father didn't spend time with her.
17:18But as the camera shifted, it revealed a little boy who was always alone.
17:23It was Sam.
17:24Just like he had once complained before,
17:26his father always left him to play by himself without ever getting out of the car.
17:29Now they realized that this was the best way
17:32their father could think of to be there for both of them.
17:34The tape then showed a touching moment for Frankie.
17:37A childhood scene of Frankie and Sam playing together.
17:40At that time, the siblings didn't know each other's identities.
17:43But they were there for each other during their lonely childhoods.
17:46With that, this film comes to an end.
17:48People Like Us is a movie inspired by a true event.
17:51A mistake made by their father cast a shadow over both families for decades,
17:56particularly affecting the two children.
17:57Their father's betrayal led Frankie to struggle with her judgment of men,
18:01causing her to lose boundaries and succumb to alcoholism,
18:04ultimately not even knowing who Josh's father was.
18:07For Sam, his father was more of a concept.
18:10Although he had always been around because his father felt guilty toward Frankie,
18:13Sam never received the full paternal love he deserved.
18:16On the day of his father's funeral,
18:18he made excuses to miss it and left his mother to face it alone.
18:21The reason these two children, both wounded by their father's love,
18:25were ultimately able to forgive each other
18:27was because of their love for Josh and their love for each other.
