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.
02:52Cancer is in a very late stage, likely the final stage.
03:11So, I don't have much time left?
03:16No, I'm sorry.
03:17Here is an organ donation constant form.
03:22Your eyes, your heart, anything 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.
03:37And 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.
03:50Can you run a compatibility test with Esme Shelton?
03:55She was recently admitted here.
03:57Absolutely.
03:57Convince her to sign the donation form.
04:08And this $500,000 is yours.
04:11It's a perfect match.
04:39Once you sign, Esme will receive your heart after your death.
04:46Mary.
05:01Lydia, is something wrong?
05:05I'm...
05:05I'm here to resign.
05:08And...
05:09And 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.
05:39Goodbye, Mr. Shelton.
06:04Hey, Dad.
06:09I am.
06:26I decided to donate my heart to Esme.
06:30I 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 for me, please.
06:39Please, 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.
07:02But I'm just so scared, too.
07:09I'm so scared.
07:16Mom.
07:19I found a matching heart donor.
07:21That is amazing news.
07:25Lydia.
07:36How can it be Lydia?
07:38Lydia.
07:38I, uh, I just found out your name is Lydia
08:00You, you know now?
08:05I know everything now
08:08I am so badly misunderstood before
08:13And I treated you so poorly
08:17I am, I am really sorry
08:20I, I just can't believe you're willing to donate your heart to Esme
08:25I, I, I obviously, I am speechless
08:32What?
08:33What did you just say?
08:37I was wrong
08:37To treat you like that
08:39And in whatever time you have left
08:41I, I will do everything in my power to make it up to you
08:44Tell me anything you want
08:47Say the word and I will make it happen
08:59Although, you know, maybe the Maldives would be better
09:03Isla might be a little bit cold for your heart
09:05But if, if that is what you want
09:07I'll make it happen
09:08Get out of here
09:11I don't want to ever see you again
09:13I know that you are angry with me
09:17I was wrong to yell at you and, and hit you
09:20So if, 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, if, if you, you, you want to see me hurt, fine
09:30Do it
09:31But, but please
09:33Don't take back your offer
09:35Give your heart to Esme
09:37Let her live
09:39I beg you
09:41Here, I, I beg you
09:44I, I know that you do not have much time left
09:48So, please
09:50Donate your heart to Esme
09:53Give her a chance to live
09:55Please, I am begging you
09:57You're really here
10:04Begging me
10:05To donate my heart to Esme
10:07Have you ever thought about how I felt
10:09How I want to live
10:11I don't want to die alone
10:13Mom
10:15I'm your daughter, too
10:18How could you ask me
10:20To donate my heart entirely
10:22For another daughter
10:24I am so scared
10:25I don't want to die alone
10:27My daughter
10:29Lydia
10:30My daughter
10:36Lydia
10:37Oh
10:39Please
10:40Please
10:41Doctor, save her
10:43Please, doctor
10:46Save, save my daughter
10:48Please
10:49She's so young
10:50Please
10:50She, she can't die
10:52Please
10:52Please
10:53Please
10:54Save her
10:55Mom
10:55Is this the anguish you felt
10:57When you lost me?
10:59Did I cause you this much pain?
11:03Please
11:03Please
11:04Don't leave me
11:05Please
11:05Dad
11:06I'm always dissociating again
11:08I'm gonna take her to see the doctor right now
11:10Come on
11:11Let's go
11:12Let's go
11:13So you're Lydia?
11:17I heard about what happened
11:19You've seen it for yourself now
11:20When Maeve is thinking about you
11:22Her brain goes into overload
11:24You see the trauma
11:25It triggers these dissociative episodes
11:27The doctors
11:28They say that
11:29Her subconscious is basically blocking the memories
11:32To protect herself
11:33I hope you don't go through with this reunion
11:36If she knows that her daughter's still alive
11:40And has to watch you die
11:42It'll destroy her
11:44Hey
11:49Mom's doing much better
12:07Well I don't have the energy to worry anymore
12:10You've practically moved into the hospital
12:15It's been good
12:16Learned a lot of caretaking skills along the way
12:20The CEO moonlighting is a nurse
12:24Sounds interesting doesn't it?
12:27Leave
12:29Leave
12:42Leave
12:43Get out
12:44I don't want your pity or anyone
12:46No
12:47No I don't want your pity
12:49Leave me alone
12:51I don't want you to see me like this
12:52I'm not pitying you Lydia
13:08I just want to be here with you
13:11I know we're not blood related
13:15But you're mom's daughter
13:17You're my sister
13:19I just want you to be able to rely on me
13:23I'm your brother
13:26Vincent
13:29Do I really look like this?
13:33Am I ugly?
13:35Do I really look this terrible?
13:38You're not ugly
13:38I've got an idea that'll help you through there
13:46I bet I can help you feel like you're looking great
13:48Take a look
13:54See if you feel like any of these
13:56Or
13:58You could buy them all
14:00And you can be a hairdo queen
14:01I don't think I've ever worn this many hairstyles in my life
14:06Lydia
14:24I'm sorry
14:25Fate has been so cruel to you
14:28What's wrong?
14:31Nothing
14:31Let's uh
14:34Let's try some clothes
14:35If you like it
14:42Try it on
14:43Okay, don't worry
14:45I'm not short on cash
14:46That looks great on you
14:55Yeah
14:56I signed the organ donation form
15:14Lydia
15:19Lydia, this is so cruel
15:22Maybe you should tell mom who you really are
15:24No, no, no need
15:25I made my decision
15:28But
15:29If you do want to help
15:30There is
15:31One 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
15:55Before I go
15:56Why did you bring me here?
16:06So you can relax a bit
16:07Okay, as many still has recovering to do
16:10We 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
16:22Okay
16:23I'm going to sit
16:24What's going on?
16:31Don't worry about it
16:32Today
16:32My only job is to make sure
16:35That you have fun
16:36Perfect
16:43Let's go
16:44Come on
16:46Mom actually loves sweets
16:55But Esme can't eat too many
16:57So she just doesn't eat them at all
17:00Mom actually really liked cartoon style portraits
17:15She even tried drawing them herself
17:18Honestly, her skills were totally good enough to run a booth
17:22Mom used to say that her favorite thing growing up
17:31Was flying kites in the park
17:33When the kite took off
17:34All her worries would float away too
17:36But Esme's health wasn't good
17:39And mom didn't want her to feel left out
17:41So she never flew a kite again
17:43Are you okay?
17:49Yeah, I'm fine
17:50I can take a minute
17:51No
17:52Dad, you were right
17:56My mom really is the kindest
17:59Most beautiful mom in the world
18:01I'm still dreaming
18:06Of cotton candy
18:08Of cotton candy
18:09Yeah
18:10Oh look
18:13The fireworks show is starting
18:14Let's go watch
18:17Lydia
18:21What happened before
18:25I owe you an apology
18:29I should never have been so selfish
18:33I should never have pressured you to give your heart to Esme
18:36Your life should be yours to decide
18:40Thank you so much for your kindness
18:44And I am so sorry
18:47Can you ever forgive me?
18:52Okay
18:52Only
18:55If you ride that Ferris wheel with me
18:59Then I'll forgive you
19:01I'll
19:04Completely forgive you mom
19:06Okay
19:09Come on
19:11How's your condition?
19:28Well the doctor said
19:29If I get treatment abroad
19:31There's still a chance
19:33So I'm planning to do that
19:37Are you going along?
19:40Or
19:40Are your parents coming with you?
19:42Oh
19:42My
19:43My dad
19:44He
19:44He passed away
19:46A while ago
19:47And my mom
19:49Well
19:51My mom
19:52She's a lot like you
19:54She is a really
19:56Good person
19:58She just
20:01Has a lot of things
20:02In her past
20:03Things she
20:04Still holds on to
20:06Sometimes
20:07Holding on
20:09To the past
20:10Too tight
20:11It keeps you from
20:12Moving forward
20:14Mrs. Shelton
20:16About the daughter
20:18You lost in the past
20:21Maybe it's time
20:23To let her go
20:25I feel like
20:29You're clinging on
20:31To the past
20:32And it's not only hurting you
20:34It's keeping your daughter
20:35Tied to it
20:36If I were your daughter
20:38I
20:41I wouldn't
20:42Want you to be
20:43Hurting so much
20:45I
20:46I want you
20:48To free yourself
20:49Free her
20:52You know
20:55Your
20:55Your daughter
20:56She's been gone
20:58For so long
20:59But you're still here
21:01You've
21:02Survived
21:03So go on
21:05And live
21:06For you
21:06And your daughter
21:07So go on
21:08And live for you
21:09And your daughter
21:10I didn't protect her
21:22I didn't protect her
21:35I wasn't even there
21:38I wasn't even there
21:38For her
21:38She must have been
21:40So scared
21:42And so much pain
21:43But you are right
21:49As they still in the hospital
21:53Waiting for me
21:54For her sake
21:56I
21:56I have to
22:00Move on
22:02Your daughter would be
22:05So happy to hear you say that
22:07You know
22:12My daughter was still alive
22:15She
22:15She
22:15She'd be about your age
22:17Now when I first saw you
22:22I
22:22Felt like I knew you
22:25Really?
22:31Maybe we
22:31Met somewhere before
22:33Oh no
22:34No not like that
22:36It's just
22:36When I look at you
22:39I
22:39I see my daughter
22:42You know
22:45And I
22:46Think if she was still here
22:48What would she be like?
22:49Would she be
22:50A spoiled
22:52Stubborn
22:52Princess
22:53Or something really
22:54Kind and
22:55And hardworking
22:56Like you
23:12No dann
23:20No dann
23:21No dann
23:21No dann
23:23No dann
23:24Stop
23:24isch
23:42All right, let's go.
23:56Oh, it was fun.
23:58It was so fun.
24:02Mom, there's something I need to tell you.
24:10You know what?
24:11Never mind.
24:13Let's go home.
24:17Goodbye.
24:19And thank you so much for today.
24:22I really hope your treatment goes well.
24:27And I'm sure that Esme will find a matching heart.
24:31Wait.
24:32Wait.
24:32Wait.
24:32Wait.
24:33Yeah.
24:56Wait.
25:03I wanted to give you one final gift.
25:13It's my good luck charm.
25:16I want you to have it so that you can have luck wherever you go.
25:26Oh, goodbye.
26:03Vincent, stop the car.
26:11Stop the car.
26:27If I were your daughter.
26:29Come on.
26:36Hey.
26:37Hey.
26:38What's wrong?
26:40Hey.
26:48Esme's found a matching heart.
26:50Really?
26:52We'll be right there.
26:52All right.
26:54I'll be right there.
26:55I heard from the nurse that you went to see Asma.
27:19I went secretly.
27:22I even left her a little, like, a charm.
27:24What I need, just a final gift from me as 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 carrying a party for Asma this year?
27:56This mozilla's been too keen.
27:58So I probably want to do something different this year.
28:00Oh.
28:02I've been talking about wanting to go see the Northern Lights in Iceland.
28:06That sounds great.
28:08Make sure to have some fun for me.
28:10I'll be shot.
28:14Goodbye, Vincent.
28:17Make sure to take care of...

33:53I wish finally came true.
34:01No. Oh, no. Lydia, stop me.
34:07Mom, Lydia passed away from cancer.
34:11Before she died, she donated her heart to Esme.
34:16She always wanted to be close to you.

35:21Oh, Lydia, I'm sorry.
35:23You must have been so scared all alone.
35:26But I'm here.
35:27Maybe I'm here.
35:28I'm here with you, ma'am.
35:31Maeve!
35:32Stop crying!
35:35All this drama over that little bastard.
35:38She's gone.
35:40Pull yourself together.
35:42Pull yourself together!
35:44Lydia was hit by a car.
35:46She came to apply for a maid's job,
35:48and I didn't like her vibe.
35:50She wouldn't leave, so I had to lock her up.
35:54I didn't want her to scare you.
35:56You have been lying to me this whole time.
36:02The accident?
36:04Lydia never died?
36:05You forced me to abandon my only daughter.
36:09And when she finally came back, you lied to me again.
36:12You forced my daughter to work as a maid in my own house.
36:17Mom, you knew how bad I wanted Lydia back.
36:23She was right beside me,
36:25and you made sure that I had no idea.
36:29How could you be such a monster?
36:32I can't believe you still call that little bastard your daughter.
36:37How could any child of mine have so little dignity?
36:41So little shame.
36:45You ran off with a mechanic for your one true love.
36:49You made this family into nothing but a joke.
36:52Your stupidity brought shame down on all of us.
36:57If it wasn't for me,
36:59you would never have your life back.
37:01The perfect husband,
37:02the perfect daughter,
37:04a real family.
37:06You wouldn't have that if I didn't make it happen.
37:09And you have the nerve
37:11to blame me?
37:14I didn't want you to do all of this.
37:17But Lydia was your own granddaughter.
37:20How can you feel nothing?
37:22Granddaughter?
37:24That girl was nothing but trash.
37:27Born of that low-life blood.
37:29The only thing she was good for
37:31was giving Esme a working heart.
37:35What?
37:36You are a monster.
37:38And you are fucking insane.
37:41Mom, we are done.
37:43I will not let you insult Lydia again.
37:46Especially now that she's gone.
37:48Now, leave.
37:51So that's how it is.
37:53You throw away your own mother over her.
37:57You'll forget about her, Maeve.
37:59You'll forget about that daughter
38:00that you never raised.
38:01Just like you did before.
38:05We're your family.
38:07So don't you dare come groveling back to me
38:09when you realize that you were wrong.
38:12Here, give these flowers to your sister, okay?
38:32It's her memorial today.
38:33Thank you, Lydia.
38:42I'm sorry.
38:46You're so welcome.
38:53Okay.
38:58Hey, Lydia.
39:00It's me, Bob.
39:01I am so sorry.
39:10I owe you so much.
39:11I owe you so much.
39:22Mom!
39:27Mom!
39:27Mom!
39:31Don't apologize.
39:41I've told you already.
39:44Just ride the Ferris wheel with me
39:45and I'll forgive you.
39:48I've already forgiven you.
39:50Completely.
39:50I have to go now.
39:58I haven't gone.
39:59But you...
40:00You keep on living
40:02and live well.
40:05I will.
40:07I will live on
40:08for you.
40:11We'll meet again one day.
40:13Okay.
40:16Goodbye, Mom.
40:17I heard she killed her granddaughter
40:40and her daughter severed ties with her.
40:44She deserves it.
40:45I have to go now.
