Transcript
00:00A woman wanted to bring her husband back to life. So, she used his clone genes to get herself
00:04pregnant, and gave birth to him all over again. The child was both her son and her husband.
00:09Not long ago, Becca's husband died in a car accident. Because she loved him so deeply,
00:13she agreed to undergo a cloning procedure. Her belly began to grow, and before long she gave
00:18birth. Becca named the baby Tom, the same name as her late husband. To her, this child was the
00:22continuation of the man she loved. Time passed quickly. Tom grew up little by little. Becca
00:27kept the truth from him, that he was a clone. Instead, she told him his father had died in a
00:31car crash. But their relationship wasn't purely that of mother and son. Becca would even take
00:36baths with Tom, trying to find traces of her husband in him. As Tom reached his teenage years,
00:40he often brought female friends home. Becca forced herself to smile, while hiding her jealousy and
00:45discomfort inside. One day, she overheard neighbors saying, that everyone avoided clones, believing
00:50they were unnatural and immoral. Becca began to fear that people would discover Tom's secret,
00:55and treat him like a freak. Her fears soon came true. A doctor who knew the truth came to town,
01:00and exposed Tom's identity to the whole community. The revelation happened to fall on Tom's birthday.
01:05He and Becca had decorated the house, excited for his friends to come celebrate. But as night fell,
01:10no one showed up. Parents had forbidden their kids from seeing Tom, after learning he was a clone.
01:14Even when Becca called the neighbors personally, she was met with cold rejection. It was clear they
01:19could no longer stay in this town. Otherwise Tom would grow up under constant discrimination.
01:23The very next day, Becca packed their things, and moved with Tom to the seaside, where her husband
01:28had once lived. The place was nearly deserted, and no one could bother them anymore. Mother and son
01:33would sit on an abandoned boat, gazing out at the ocean. One afternoon, a boy named Mark suddenly ran up.
01:38He said he was their new neighbor. Soon, Tom and Mark became fast friends, bringing laughter and life
01:43back to Becca's quiet world. But Tom started to feel the absence of a father. For Becca, that was an
01:48old
01:48wound, because she bore heavy responsibility for the accident that killed her husband.
01:52The next day, Becca and Tom were playing on a swing set outside. Then they started wrestling
01:57around for fun. Tom's strength had already surpassed hers. He quickly pinned her to the ground.
02:01And then Tom said something. Something that could easily be misunderstood.
02:05Now I can do whatever I want with you. Go ahead.
