Short filmTranscript
00:00The daughter mom's been thinking about all these years, thought to be dead, and you've been with us the whole time.
00:09I'm so sorry. For everything. For your dad. I'm sorry.
00:16But please believe me. Mom's always cared about you. She never meant to hurt you.
00:23Yeah, I know. I heard what she said.
00:26You have no idea how much mom has missed you.
00:31No, no, no, my honey, no!
00:36The pacifier you used when you were a baby, she's kept it at home all these years.
00:41She was devastated. She's never really gotten over it.
00:45It wasn't until Esme was born that mom's depression started to get better.
00:48But even now, whenever your name comes up, you can still see how much she hurts.
00:56Lydia, mom's always loved you.
01:01Please, reconcile with her.
01:04Mom's already falling apart over Esme.
01:07If she knew I was terminal, it would kill her.
01:10The results confirmed that you have stomach cancer.
01:23Based on what we're seeing, it's most likely hereditary.
01:28What's wrong?
01:30You don't want to?
01:32If it's about the misunderstanding earlier, I can explain everything.
01:35No, no, no. It's just, she has a lot going on right now.
01:39We can just talk about it later. Some other time.
01:43Okay.
01:45I can respect that.
01:47I have called every hospital I can think of. No one has a matching heart for Esme.
02:01Gosh, Callan, what are we supposed to do?
02:04Maeve, don't despair, okay? We still have time.
02:07Tomorrow, I'm going to call the European donors, and we're going to make this work.
02:12If only I could donate my heart to Esme.
02:16And I would rather die if it meant that she could live.
02:20Callan, she's my baby.
02:22No.
03:23Anything that is unaffected can be donated.
03:28Esme? Esme, baby?
03:30Esme, baby, please do not take Esme from me too.
03:33If only I could donate my heart to Esme.
03:36And I would rather die if it meant that she could live.
03:40Doctor, can I donate my heart to a specific person?
03:47As long as they're a match, yes.
03:48Can you run a compatibility test with Esme Shelton?
03:55She was recently admitted here.
03:57Absolutely.
03:57Convince her to sign the donation form, and this $500,000 is yours.
04:11It's a perfect match.
04:39Once you sign, Esme will receive your heart after your death.
04:46Liz.
04:56Liz.
05:01Lydia, is something wrong?
05:03I'm...
05:06I'm here to resign.
05:11And this is my final gift to Esme.
05:17Could you give it to her for me?
05:21Lydia, I understand if you don't want to be in this house.
05:26But you, and my mom...
05:28No, no, no, don't worry about it.
05:30I know exactly what I'm doing.
05:33Goodbye, Mr. Shelton.
05:41Hey, Dad.
06:06I'm...
06:08I'm...
06:11I decided to donate my heart to Esme.
06:29I figured if I can't be with mom, at least she can still keep one of her daughters, right?
06:35Please, God, please, you took my precious money from me.
06:38Please, please, please do not take Esme from me, too.
06:43Mom never really forgot about us.
06:48She's always loved us.
06:52And it was grandma who lied to her, and that's why mom hasn't come to find us.
06:59But hey, I'm going to be coming to join you soon.
07:05I'm just so scared, too.
07:09I'm so scared.
07:16Mom?
07:19I found a matching heart donor.
07:21That is amazing news.
07:29Lydia?
07:36How can it be Lydia?
07:38I, uh, I just found out your name is Lydia.
08:01You, you know now?
08:04I know everything now.
08:09I am so badly misunderstood before.
08:14And I treated you so poorly.
08:17I am, I am really sorry.
08:22I, I just can't believe you're willing to donate your heart to Esme.
08:25Okay.
08:29I, I, obviously I am speechless.
08:33What?
08:35What did you just say?
08:37I was wrong to treat you like that.
08:39And in whatever time you have left, I, I will do everything in my power to make it up to you.
08:45Tell me anything you want.
08:47I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to, I will make it happen.
09:00Although, you know, maybe the Maldives would be better.
09:03Esme might be a little bit cold for your heart.
09:05But if, if, if that is what you want, I'll make it happen.
09:09No, get out, get out of here.
09:11I don't want to ever see you again.
09:14I know that you are angry with me.
09:17I was wrong to yell at you and, and hit you.
09:20So if, if you, if you want to hate me, that's fine.
09:23But please, please do not drag Esme into this.
09:25If you want to hit something, you, you hit me.
09:27Okay.
09:28If, if you, you, you want to see me hurt, fine.
09:30Do it.
09:31Yes, but, but please don't take back your offer.
09:36Give your heart to Esme.
09:38Let her live.
09:40I beg you.
09:41Here, I, I beg you.
09:45I, I know that you do not have much time left.
09:48So, please, donate your heart to Esme.
09:54Give her a chance to live, please.
09:56I am begging you.
10:01You're really here, begging me to donate my heart to Esme.
10:07Have you ever thought about how I felt?
10:10How I want to live?
10:11I don't want to die alone.
10:14Mom, I'm your daughter too.
10:19How could you ask me to donate my heart entirely for another daughter?
10:24I am so scared.
10:25I don't want to die alone.
10:28My daughter?
10:30Lydia?
10:31My daughter?
10:37Lydia?
10:38Oh, please.
10:41Please, doctor, save her.
10:45Please, doctor, save, save my daughter, please.
10:49She's so young, please.
10:50She, she can't die.
10:52Please, please.
10:54Please, save her.
10:55Mom, is this the anguish you felt when you lost me?
10:58Did I cause you this much pain?
11:03Please, please, don't leave me, please.
11:06Dad, I'm always dissociating again.
11:08I'm going to take her to see the doctor right now.
11:10Come on.
11:11Let's go.
11:12Let's go.
11:13So you're Lydia?
11:16I heard about what happened.
11:19You've seen it for yourself now.
11:21When Maeve is thinking about you, her brain goes into overload.
11:24You see the trauma, it triggers these dissociative episodes.
11:27The doctors, they say that her subconscious is basically blocking the memories to protect herself.
11:34I hope you don't go through with this reunion.
11:37If she knows that her daughter's still alive and has to watch you die, it'll destroy her.
11:44Hey.
12:05Mom's doing much better.
12:07Yeah.
12:08Well, I don't have the energy to worry anymore.
12:10You, you've practically moved into the hospital.
12:15It's been good.
12:17Learned a lot of caretaking skills along the way.
12:21Hmm.
12:22The CEO moonlighting as a nurse.
12:25Sounds interesting, doesn't it?
12:27Hmm.
12:27Hmm.
12:27Hmm.
12:28Hmm.
12:29Hmm.
12:30Hmm.
12:31Hmm.
12:32Hmm.
12:33Hmm.
12:34Hmm.
12:35Hmm.
12:36Hmm.
12:37Hmm.
12:38Hmm.
12:39Hmm.
12:39Hmm.
12:40Hmm.
12:40Hmm.
12:41Leave.
12:42Leave.
12:43Leave.
12:43Get out.
12:44I don't want your pity or anyone.
12:46Leave me.
12:47No.
12:47No, I don't.
12:48I don't want your pity.
12:49Leave me alone.
12:50Leave me alone.
12:51I don't want you to see me like this.
12:53I'm not pitying you, Lydia.
13:08I just want you.
13:09I just want you.
13:10I just want you to be here with you.
13:11I know we're not blood related, but you're mom's daughter.
13:17You're my sister.
13:19I just want you to be able to rely on me.
13:20I just want you to be able to rely on me.
13:21I'm your brother.
13:22I'm your brother.
13:24I'm your brother.
13:25Vincent.
13:26Do I really look like this?
13:27Am I ugly?
13:28Do I really look this terrible?
13:29You're not ugly.
13:30I've got an idea that will help you from there.
13:31I bet I can help you feel like you're looking great.
13:36Take a look.
13:37See if you feel like any of these.
13:38Or you could buy them all and you can be a hairdo queen.
13:43I don't think I've ever worn this many hairstyles in my life.
14:08I see you.
14:15Lydia, I'm sorry.
14:25Fate has been so cruel to you.
14:28What's wrong?
14:30Nothing.
14:33Let's try some clothes.
14:42If you like it, try it on.
14:44Okay, don't worry.
14:45I'm not short on cash.
14:54That looks great on you.
14:55Yeah.
15:00I signed the organ donation form.
15:17Lydia.
15:19Lydia, this is so cruel.
15:22Maybe you should tell mom who you really are.
15:24No, no, no need.
15:27I made my decision.
15:28But if you do want to help, there is one last thing you could do.
15:33Anything.
15:35I've caused you so much pain, mom.
15:52I'm going to be the one to erase that pain before I go.
15:56Why did you bring me here?
16:05So you can relax a bit.
16:07Okay?
16:08Asmae still has recovering to do.
16:09We can't have you collapsing from the stress.
16:11I need to contact the hospital in Europe.
16:21I'm leaving Lydia with you for today.
16:23Okay?
16:24What is it?
16:29What's going on?
16:30Don't worry about it.
16:32Today, my only job is to make sure that you have fun.
16:36Perfect.
16:43Let's go.
16:45Come on.
16:54Mom actually loves sweets, but Esme can't eat too many.
16:58So she just doesn't eat them at all.
17:06Mom actually really liked cartoon-styled portraits.
17:15She even tried drawing them herself.
17:18Honestly, her skills were totally good enough to run a booth.
17:28Mom used to say that her favorite thing growing up was flying kites in the park.
17:33When the kite took off, all her worries would float away too.
17:37But Esme's health wasn't good and Mom didn't want her to feel left out.
17:42So she never flew a kite again.
17:47Are you okay?
17:49Yeah, I'm okay.
17:50You can take a minute?
17:51Yeah.
17:52Okay.
17:55Dad, you were right.
17:57My mom really is the kindest, most beautiful mom in the world.
18:03I'm still dreaming.
18:07Of cotton candy.
18:08Of cotton candy.
18:09Yeah.
18:12Oh, look!
18:13The fireworks show is starting.
18:16Let's go watch.
18:21Lydia, um...
18:22What happened before, I, um...
18:28I owe you an apology.
18:30I should never have been so selfish.
18:33I should never have pressured you to give your heart to Esme.
18:37Your life should be yours to decide.
18:40Thank you so much for your kindness and I, I am...
18:45I am so sorry.
18:48Can you ever forgive me?
18:52Okay.
18:55Only if you ride that Ferris wheel with me.
19:00Then I'll forgive you.
19:01I'll completely forgive you, mom.
19:09Okay.
19:11Come on.
19:12Okay.
19:26How's your condition?
19:28Well, the doctor said if I get treatment abroad, there's still a chance.
19:34So, I'm planning to do that.
19:38Are you going alone or are your parents coming with you?
19:42Um, my, my dad, he, he passed away a while ago.
19:47And my mom...
19:48Well, my mom, she's a lot like you.
19:54I mean, she is a really good person.
19:58She just has a lot of things in her past.
20:03Things she still holds on to.
20:07Sometimes holding on to the past too tight, it keeps you from moving forward.
20:13Mrs. Shelton, about the daughter you lost in the past, maybe it's time to let her go.
20:28I feel like you're clinging on to the past and it's not only hurting you, it's keeping your daughter tied to it.
20:35If I were your daughter, I wouldn't want you to be hurting so much.
20:46I, I want you to free yourself.
20:51Free her.
20:54You know, your, your daughter, she's been gone for so long.
20:59But you're still here, you've survived.
21:04So go on and, and live for, for you and your daughter.
21:07her daughter.
21:34I didn't protect her.
21:35I wasn't even there for her.
21:39She must have been so scared and so much pain.
21:48But you are right.
21:51As they're still in the hospital waiting for me and for her sake, I have to move on.
22:02But your daughter would be so happy to hear you say that.
22:11You know, my daughter was still alive.
22:15She should be about your age.
22:20Now, when I first saw you, I felt like I knew you.
22:28Really?
22:28And maybe we met somewhere before.
22:33Oh, no.
22:35No, not like that.
22:36It's just when I look at you, I see my daughter.
22:45And I think if she was still here, what would she be like?
22:49Would she be a spoiled, stubborn princess or something really kind and hardworking like you?
22:56She might be a wife.
23:03I don't know what I was like.
23:05I don't know.
23:07I'm sorry.
23:08Oh, no.
23:09I'm sorry.
23:11I'm sorry.
23:13I'm sorry.
23:15I'm sorry.
23:17No.
23:19No.
23:21No.
23:23Stop. Stop.
23:25No.
23:27No.
23:29No.
23:35No.
23:37No.
23:39All right.
23:49Let's go.
23:55Oh, it was fun.
23:57It was so fun.
24:01Mom,
24:03there's something I need to tell you.
24:09You know what? Never mind.
24:11Let's go home.
24:17Goodbye.
24:19And thank you so much for today.
24:21I really hope your treatment goes well.
24:27And I'm sure that Esme will find a matching heart.
24:33Yeah.
24:39We
24:41...
24:45We...
24:47...
24:49...
24:55...
24:57...
24:59I wanted to give you one final gift
25:12It's my good luck charm
25:15I want you to have it
25:17So that you can have luck wherever you go
25:19Thank you
25:22Goodbye
25:29Thank you
25:59Vincent, stop the car.
26:11Stop the car.
26:27If I were your daughter,
26:29I'm going to be here.
26:35Mom.
26:36Hey.
26:37Hey.
26:39What's wrong?
26:48Esme's found a matching heart.
26:50Really?

26:52I'll be right there.
26:55Oh, yes.
26:57Oh, yes.
27:08Hey.
27:09Hey.
27:09I, uh, heard from the nurse.
27:16You went to see Asma.
27:19I went secretly.
27:22I even left her a little
27:23like the charm that I made.
27:26Just a final gift from me
27:27as her sister.
27:33I'm feeling kind of, um, tired.
27:41Can you take me home?
27:45Let's go.
27:46Are you, um, still planning on
27:53carrying a party for Asma this year?
27:56This mozilla's been too keen.
27:58So probably want to do
27:59something different this year.
28:00I've just been talking about
28:02wanting to go see the Northern Lights
28:04in Iceland.
