Short filmTranscript
00:00El mismo día que me maté, mi esposa tenía su esposa en sus manos.
00:07Estaba huyendo de mí. No tenía ni idea.
00:10Estoy muerto y nada puede salvarme.
00:13La historia se empieza realmente después de haber marido.
00:16El año 3 de mi maravilla, mi esposa hid un interno en Chelsea.
00:21Chloe. Blonde, sweet, fresh out of Parsons, totalmente Alex's type.
00:28She lasted 8 months, a record for him, besides me.
00:32Careful, he might actually love this one.
00:35I gave a bitter smile and slowly shook my head.
00:41After some time, I woke up to blood on my phone.
00:45I rushed to the clinic. The doctor was gentle.
00:49You have until next spring.
00:50I just nodded. I wasn't scared of dying, just the pain.
00:55A new medicine could help, but my bank account was empty.
01:01So I went to Alex's office.
01:03I had to ask for the money.
01:05I waited in the lounge.
01:07Chloe was there too, his brand new assistant.
01:09She stared at me.
01:10That's the boss's wife?
01:12She looks awful.
01:13I can't believe people say we look alike.
01:15Come on, I'm way younger and prettier.
01:17I caught my reflection in the glass.
01:19Pale, messy hair.
01:21Old coat.
01:22She was right.
01:23I looked awful.
01:24I was dying, after all.
01:26Don't mess with her.
01:27You don't know how much our boss loves her.
01:30But her co-worker nudged her.
01:32If you make her mad, the boss will make you get out of New York.
01:35So, the office rumor is Alex was madly in love with me.
01:39Chloe didn't buy it.
01:41She rolled her eyes and walked over.
01:43Whenever I visit him, he drops everything for me.
01:47He says, I'm his priority.
01:49She smiled sweetly.
01:51I looked at her.
01:53I saw myself ten years ago.
01:55Young, bold, full of life.
01:57And it was true.
01:59Alex did treat her differently.
02:01He's had countless women before, but they were just tools.
02:04Just used to make me mad.
02:06He'd get bored in weeks.
02:08Except Chloe.
02:09He rented her a Tribeca loft.
02:10They acted like a normal couple.
02:13He actually gave her his time.
02:16I gave her a calm smile.
02:18Why are you his hidden mistress?
02:20Chloe's smile instantly vanished.
02:24Tell him to divorce me.
02:26Then he can marry you.
02:28She leaned in, furious.
02:30You're the unloved one here!
02:33Look at you, old and tired.
02:37You can't compete with me.
02:39A panicked co-worker dragged her away.
02:42You just think you're in the craft league, always, too?
02:45Honestly, didn't matter.
02:47I made a promise to myself.
02:48No more getting angry over Alex.
02:50No more crying.
02:52No fighting other women for him.
02:54He just isn't worth it.
02:56The co-worker yanked Chloe's arm.
03:00Chloe crashed to the floor.
03:03Her glass shattered.
03:05Blood dripped from her cut palm.
03:08Alex saw everything through the glass.
03:11He stormed out of his meeting.
03:15He scooped Chloe into his arms.
03:18His eyes were ace-cold.
03:22He snapped.
03:25Who did this?
03:26The co-worker backed away in terror.
03:29I let out a cold laugh.
03:31I did.
03:33I lied.
03:34She asked for it.
03:38Chloe buried her face in his chest.
03:40She cried.
03:42Yes!
03:43It's my fault!
03:44I should be a third party.
03:46She looked up at him.
03:47She looked so beautiful crying.
03:49But as long as you love me...
03:52No one can tear us apart.
03:54Alex actually smiled.
03:56Alright.
03:57He gently wiped her tears.
03:59Your face is a mess.
04:00He whispered softly.
04:01He really treated her differently.
04:03I didn't care.
04:04I looked right at him.
04:05Today is my birthday.
04:07I need a hundred thousand dollars.
04:08We're married, but we don't text.
04:10I only see him for money.
04:12He hates that I'm a gold digger.
04:14But he usually pays.
04:15You want the money?
04:16Fine.
04:17Except for today.
04:18Alex gave me a freezing smile.
04:20But apologized to Chloe first.
04:22He wanted to buy my dignity.
04:25Humiliating me for another woman.
04:27I slowly clenched my fists.
04:29The deep pain inside my body flared up.
04:32I turned around and walked away.
04:34I didn't want the money anymore.
04:36I was just suddenly very curious.
04:39Alex, if you knew this money bought me time,
04:42give me a few more months to live.
04:46If you knew the agony I'll be in,
04:48what would the look on your face be?
04:52I went back to my apartment alone.
04:55I curled up on the big bed,
04:58covered in cold sweat from the pain.
05:02I swallowed two sleeping pills,
05:05lying to myself.
05:07If I sleep, it won't hurt.
05:12In my hazy sleep, I dreamt.
05:15I was 20 again, a junior at NYU.
05:19Alex wasn't a big boss back then.
05:22Just a broke student from Brooklyn,
05:25working in a used car lot.
05:28But he loved me.
05:29He loved me so much.
05:32For my birthday that year,
05:33we passed a fancy dessert shop downtown.
05:36I saw a girl eating an opera cake.
05:39It looked like an expensive piece of art.
05:43It was snowing hard in New York.
05:45I scooped up a handful of snow.
05:48I smiled at him.
05:50Lex, doesn't this snow look like cake?
05:53He clenched his jaw.
05:55He pulled me tightly into his arms,
05:59hiding his red, teary eyes.
06:04Three days later, outside my dorm,
06:07he held a cake from that exact shop.
06:09It cost $45.
06:11To buy it, he stood in the freezing cold,
06:15handing out 3,000 flyers,
06:17just to make 80 bucks.
06:20I saw his cracked, bleeding hands.
06:26But I've never had a better cake since.
06:30The dream lasted a long time.
06:33Half awake, my phone rang.
06:37I picked it up.
06:41Eleanor.
06:43Alex said through the speaker.
06:45I smiled softly.
06:46I used a name I hadn't used in years.
06:51Lex.
06:53It's snowing.
06:54I want some cake.
06:57Before he could say a word,
06:59I rolled over
07:01and fell back into a deep sleep.
07:06I woke up at midnight,
07:09starving.
07:11I went to the kitchen,
07:13and there he was,
07:15Alex.
07:15He practically lived with Chloe now.
07:19He hadn't been home in months,
07:20but now,
07:21he was by the window,
07:23smoking a Marlboro,
07:24staring at me.
07:26As I walked past,
07:28he grabbed my wrist.
07:29He sounded so gentle.
07:31How did you lose so much weight?
07:33Like he actually still loved me.
07:35I froze,
07:36then yanked my arm away.
07:38Alex, are you crazy?
07:41Then I saw the dining table.
07:44A cake covered in candles.
07:47The phone call wasn't a dream.
07:49He actually bought the cake.
07:51Was this his way of making peace?
07:54But I was dying.
07:56I didn't need a cake.
07:59And I didn't need him.
08:03I threw the cake straight into the trash.
08:07Alex completely lost it.
08:11He pinned me against the wall.
08:14Are you playing with me?
08:16He hissed.
08:17I looked in his eyes and smiled.
08:19Yeah, Alex.
08:20I am.
08:22You ran out just because I asked.
08:24How are you still so pathetic?
08:26His eyes turned ice cold.
08:29He dragged me to the bedroom
08:31and threw me onto the bed.
08:33He was completely out of control.
08:35I hid his chest, crying.
08:37Don't touch me!
08:38You're dirty!
08:42You're dirty!
08:43Trust me!
08:45He pinned my lips down
08:46and bit hard into my collarbone.
08:51The pain made my tears spill.
08:54He whispered.
08:55Would it kill you to just give in?
08:56His voice broken.
08:57I've waited years for you to be sweet.
09:02I was so happy you asked for cake.
09:05And you play me for a fool?
09:07He leaned in closer.
09:09Then his phone rang.
09:11It was Chloe.
09:14His phone rang.
09:15It was Chloe.
09:17She was crying on the other end.
09:20I'm at a bar.
09:21I'm scared.
09:24Please come get me.
09:26Alex just looked down at me.
09:28A cold smirk on his face.
09:31Beg me.
09:32He whispered.
09:33Beg me and I won't leave.
09:36He forgot.
09:39Years ago, I threw away my pride.
09:41I begged him to treat me better.
09:43He just looked at me and laughed.
09:46Eleanor.
09:47He said.
09:48You're not worthy.
09:50Those words broke me back then.
09:53But today, I gave them back.
09:59I grabbed his shirt collar.
10:01I whispered.
10:02Alexander Harrington.
10:04You're not worthy.
10:06He went completely silent.
10:08Then let out a bitter laugh.
10:10He put the phone to his ear.
10:13Wait there.
10:14I'm coming.
10:15He told Chloe.
10:16He got up and walked out.
10:19And slammed the door behind him.
10:28The next day, photos of Alex blew up.
10:31Every massive bar fight.
10:33Over Chloe with a hedge fund killed.
10:36My husband is a big deal on Wall Street.
10:38Forbes 30 under 30.
10:41So naturally.
10:42Coming out.
10:43You're ready.
10:44Paparazzi swarmed my building.
10:49I walked out to a recorder in my face.
10:52Mrs. Harrington!
10:54Thoughts on your husband and Chloe?
10:55A girl yelled.
10:56I kept walking, not looking back.
10:59He's a cheater.
11:00She's the other woman.
11:01What exactly do you want me to say?
11:03But the girl chased after me.
11:06Dude, that was so simple.
11:07But I heard you dumped him when he was broke.
11:10Then forced him to marry you when he got rich.
11:14Now he's found his true love.
11:16And you're just hoarding the wife title.
11:20Aren't you the one bullying them?
11:22I looked her dead in the eye.
11:23And grabbed her press badge.
11:26Tucked behind it was an NYU ID.
11:30You're Chloe's friend, aren't you?
11:32I asked.
11:33Everyone Alex forced me to marry him.
11:37I didn't want this.
11:39Did you come here to smear me?
11:41So your friend can steal my place?
11:44We are friends!
11:45But I'm a journalist!
11:48If you don't want him,
11:50why not divorce him?
11:52I smiled.
11:53I was about to answer.
11:55When my nose suddenly felt warm.
11:59Bright red blood dripped down.
12:03Landing right on my cashmere coat.
12:06The crowd gasped.
12:09Someone whispered.
12:10Look, she's bleeding.
12:19The crowd gasped.
12:23Someone whispered.
12:25Look, she's bleeding.
12:27She's bleeding.
12:28She must be so mad about the affair.
12:31I wiped the blood from my lips.
12:37I'm not mad.
12:38I'm just sick.
12:39I'm dying.
12:41I said peacefully.
12:43This happens a lot lately.
12:46The crowd went dead silent.
12:51People awkwardly looked away.
12:54But that girl, she didn't care.
12:57She just sneered at me.
12:59Stop faking it!
13:00A nosebleed and suddenly you're the victim?
13:06Pretending you're dying just to keep a man?
13:11You're an embarrassment to women.
13:13She flipped her ponytail and marched away.
13:17Watching her leave, I realized she was just as annoying as Chloe.
13:24The paparazzi video hit the trending page.
13:28Alex's PR team moved fast.
13:31They released a harsh statement.
13:34We will never divorce.
13:35Do not harass my wife.
13:38By that afternoon, Chloe's intern friend was fired.
13:46But the comments were ruthless.
13:48She's so gross.
13:50Playing the victim.
13:51One said.
13:53Dumped him when he was broke.
13:54Married him when he got rich.
14:00Then, one comment stood out.
14:04Shut the hell up.
14:05If you don't know the truth, don't speak.
14:08Everyone replied immediately.
14:10What truth?
14:11What do you know?
14:11The truth.
14:12It's a tragic cliche.
14:14Thinking about 10 years ago breaks my heart.
14:17Up until now, Alex still doesn't know the truth.
14:21Why I really left him years ago.
14:26Years ago, my mom got breast cancer.
14:29The doctor said it was highly genetic.
14:31A ticking time bomb for me.
14:34And for any daughter I might have.
14:36One day, she had a massive hemorrhage.
14:40The bathroom floor was covered in blood.
14:42I held her cold hands to the ER.
14:47She was in a coma for three days.
14:51When she finally woke up...
14:59Her very first words were...
15:03Break up with Alex.
15:06I froze.
15:11Break up with Alex.
15:15I froze.
15:17He won't leave me.
15:19I whispered.
15:20She squeezed my hand and smiled.
15:25I know he's a good boy.
15:27I saw him waiting on his bike.
15:30Every morning in high school.
15:33I saw him buy you breakfast once.
15:37He only had seven dollars.
15:40He spent almost all of it on you.
15:42And lied, saying he already ate.
15:46She sighed.
15:52His parents abandoned him.
15:55He gave you his only food money.
16:01He's so good.
16:03That's why my heart aches for him.
16:06Back then, Alex's grandma was also sick.
16:10The woman who raised him was hospitalized.
16:12He worked multiple jobs to pay her bills.
16:16Literally passing out in the college library.
16:18My mom looked at me with tears.
16:21Alex's wings are still too fragile.
16:26If he has to carry his grandma,
16:28and then carry you,
16:30he will never be able to fly.
16:35I dug my nails into my palms.
16:38It took me a long time to speak.
16:41Mom.
16:43I sighed.
16:45Mom.
16:46I sighed.
16:46I just can't bear to let him go.
16:56Today, I bought my mom's favorite irises,
17:00getting ready to visit her grave in Brooklyn.
17:03For the very last time,
17:06I'm dying.
17:08I needed to tell her.
17:10I couldn't visit her anymore.
17:12But first,
17:13I stopped by Alex's office.
17:15I needed to get something back.
17:18Before my mom got sick,
17:20back when Alex and I were deeply in love,
17:23she absolutely adored him.
17:26She bought us two guardian angel pendants,
17:30silver for his birthday,
17:31gold for mine,
17:33blessed for peace and health,
17:36and to keep us together forever.
17:38She told me to give Alex the silver one,
17:41but he insisted on taking mine.
17:43He said the engraving looked like my handwriting.
17:47Having it was like looking at me.
17:49And he loved looking at me.
17:52For years,
17:53it hung on his desk lamp.
17:57I was terrified that when I died,
18:01he would just throw it away.
18:04My mom prayed over that pendant.
18:09I needed it back.
18:12I wanted to leave it at her grave
18:16so it could keep her company.
18:20When I walked into his office,
18:23he was watching the video from this morning.
18:25On his screen,
18:27I was bleeding,
18:28telling the cameras I was dying.
18:31He saw me and tossed his phone.
18:34He didn't say a single word.
18:37He didn't even ask if I was okay.
18:40I looked straight at his desk lamp.
18:44But the spot was empty.
18:46I frowned, staring right at him.
18:49Where is my pendant?
18:53Chloe followed me out.
18:55She heard what I was looking for.
18:57She smiled sweetly and chimed in.
18:59When I cut my hand,
19:01she said,
19:02Alex felt so bad,
19:04he gave me that pendant.
19:08He said the angel looked like me.
19:11Clumsy, but he loved it.
19:13I clenched my fist and glared at Alex.
19:16How dare you give my things away?
19:19My mom prayed for that.
19:21He gave a cold, mocking smile.
19:24That was yours?
19:26Sorry, I forgot.
19:27I thought it was a cheap trinket.
19:31I snapped it.
19:33I grabbed a crystal paperweight
19:36and hurled it right at him.
19:39Alex didn't even try to dodge.
19:40It hit his forehead.
19:42He instantly started bleeding.
19:44Are you crazy?
19:45Chloe screamed.
19:57Chloe screamed.
19:59She ran out and rushed back.
20:01She threw my pendant hard at me.
20:06Take your cheap trash back!
20:08Stop acting crazy and get out!
20:13The pendant hit the marble floor.
20:16I dove to pick it up.
20:20The chain was broken.
20:22The clasp was completely smashed.
20:26My name and birthday
20:28twisted out of shape.
20:30Just like my life.
20:32I realized
20:33I was actually dying.
20:35But I didn't want to die yet.
20:37I needed to see my mom
20:38or she'd just keep waiting for me.
20:41My mind went blank.
20:44I slapped Chloe across the face.
20:54Tears poured down my face.
20:57That was my mother!
20:59I screamed.
21:00I lunged to grab her hair.
21:02But Alex caught my wrist.
21:04He stepped between us, frowning.
21:10I stared at him crying.
21:13And then suddenly I laughed.
21:16No!
21:18You know I'm dying.
21:21And you still bully me!
21:28Alex, you're a piece of shit.
21:31He wiped a tear from my face.
21:33His voice was low and angry.
21:35First the cake.
21:37Now pretending to die.
21:39What game are you playing, Eleanor?
21:41I'm never feeling sorry for you again.
21:44He stopped mid-sentence.
21:46A drop of blood fell on his hand.
21:49Then another.
21:51And another.
21:53My nose was bleeding again.
21:59My nose was bleeding again.
22:01But this time, it was worse.
22:04My legs gave out.
22:05The pain was blinding.
22:07I collapsed straight forward.
22:09Alex caught me.
22:11His voice cracked in pure terror.
22:14Call an ambulance!
22:16Now!
22:18His white shirt was covered in my blood.
22:21He just held me there.
22:23Completely helpless.
22:25I was completely unconscious.
22:28But I could hear Alex crying.
22:30He begged.
22:33Why won't the bleeding stop?
22:35I smelled the hospital disinfectant.
22:38He breathed.
22:39I knew I was at N.Y. Hospital.
22:42She could have lived until spring.
22:43I heard the doctor.
22:45But she ran out of insurance money.
22:47She stopped her treatments.
22:51It's completely out of control now.
22:53There's nothing more we can do.
22:56You're telling me my wife is dying?
23:01You're telling me my wife...
23:02Alex sounded like he was choking.
23:04You're telling me my wife is dying?
23:07I want my wife to live!
23:10Then, he completely lost his mind.
23:12If you can't save her, get out!
23:14Find someone who can!
23:16He almost destroyed the waiting room.
23:19He used all his information.
23:21Called experts in Switzerland and Boston.
23:24Get me Dr. Miller in Switzerland.
23:26Now!
23:27Of course, Mr. Harrington.
23:28Charter a medical jet.
23:29Full equipment.
23:30I'm flying her to Europe.
23:32Money is not an issue.
23:33He didn't care about the cost.
23:35He wanted to fly me to Europe.
23:37No one dared to stop him.
23:39Until my best friend, Emily, showed up.
23:42I gave Emily my medical proxy years ago.
23:44I told her,
23:45If I'm suffering, if I'm suffering, just let me go.
23:49I was too scared of the pain.
23:53Emily stormed into the waiting room and slapped Alex across the face.
23:58She screamed.
24:09It's too late to play hero.
24:11She's dying.
24:14It's too late to play hero.
24:16She's dying.
24:17Alex stared at her legal documents.
24:20His voice broke into a pathetic sob.
24:23Emily looked at him with pure disgust.
24:25Emily, please let me take her.
24:30She can't die.
24:33If she dies, what do I do?
24:39You're a heartless man.
24:41You'll live just fine without her.
24:45Stop pretending to care.
24:47It's sickening.
24:48She pushed past him into my room.
24:53She held my cold hand.
24:55Her tears fell instantly.
24:57She whispered.
24:58She cried so hard my heart ached.
25:00I just wanted to sleep.
25:02If I slept, pain would stop.
25:04Then she begged me.
25:08Just wake up one more time, okay?
25:11We need to say proper goodbyes.
25:15You haven't said goodbye to your mom.
25:19You haven't said goodbye to me.
25:21Do you really want to leave?
25:23How could you just leave?
25:26But then she begged me.
25:28A single tear slipped from my eye.
25:33A single tear slipped from my eye.
25:38My heart monitor started beeping faster.
25:45The doctor rushed in.
25:48He told Emily to keep talking to me.
25:51Keep talking to her.
25:52I was showing signs of waking up.
25:55She's showing signs of waking up.
25:56Emily gripped my hand tightly.
25:58She just kept talking.
26:00Eleanor, can you hear me?
26:02I'm right here.
26:04I'm not going anywhere.
26:06Crying and laughing for hours.
26:11Remember when we first met?
26:13You spilled coffee all over my note
26:15and you said you'd always be there for me.
26:18So you can't leave, okay?
26:20You promised.
26:24Honestly, wake up.
26:26I need you.
26:27I was ready to just die.
26:29I felt too guilty to leave.
26:31But hearing her like that,
26:33I couldn't leave without a hug.
26:35I fought against my broken body
26:37with everything I had left.
26:40And finally, late into the night,
26:44I opened my eyes.
26:49You're awake.
26:51You're awake.
26:52You're awake.
26:53For two weeks after I woke up,
26:55Emily never left my side.
26:57She was so overprotective.
26:59She fed me,
27:00helped me to the bathroom.
27:01I felt like such a burden.
27:03I just wanted to get better.
27:04I'll be right back.
27:06Just getting coffee.
27:07One day,
27:08she went out for coffee.
27:10I tried to use the bathroom alone.
27:12I thought I was fine.
27:14But my legs completely gave out.
27:19I crashed to the floor.
27:21My head hit the edge of the sink.
27:24Blood went everywhere,
27:26struggling to get up.
27:27I pulled the cloth off the mirror.
27:30Emily had covered it to protect me.
27:35I looked up at a terrifying face.
27:38Sunken eyes,
27:40sticking out cheekbones.
27:42Skin like old newspaper.
27:45Was that really me?
27:46Suddenly,
27:47the door flew open.
27:50Alex rushed in.
27:51He scooped me into his arms
27:53and covered my eyes with his hand.
27:55He snapped.
27:56I frowned and pushed him away.
28:01Alex shut up.
28:02Don't talk about her like that.
28:05She has her own life.
28:07I'm the one causing trouble here.
28:13He wiped the blood off my face.
28:22His eyes were getting red.
28:26I looked at him peacefully.
28:29Why didn't you tell me you were sick?
28:32You could have gotten better!
28:36Why did you do this to yourself?
28:39I don't need your care or company.
28:41Whether you knew or not.
28:44It just didn't matter to me.
28:50Honestly,
28:52I never tried to hide it.
28:54My medical report was on the cabinet.
28:56He just never bothered to look
28:58while I was wasting away.
29:00He was busy with Chloe,
29:02staying out with a younger girl.
29:04So he never saw me collapse,
29:06crying in blinding agony,
29:10dialing 911 all by myself.
29:14Alex carried me back to bed.
29:16As he leaned over,
29:18a warm tear fell onto my face.
29:21He turned away.
29:24His voice broken.
29:26He paused, choking back a sob.
29:30You're so tough, Eleanor.
29:33You tell me to get lost when you want.
29:34I know you don't need me.
29:36Fine.
29:39But I need you.
29:40I didn't say a word.
29:41I just closed my eyes
29:42and pretended to be asleep.
29:46Alex still doesn't know the truth.
29:48Why I really left him years ago
29:51when he came back rich and successful
29:53and said he wanted to marry me.
29:56I owed him a real explanation.
29:59I planned to tell him everything
30:01about my mom,
30:03about my genetic disease.
30:05I practiced my speech a million times.
30:08I wanted to tell him
30:09he deserved the best girl.
30:13Someone to give him healthy kids
30:15without the burden of sickness.
30:19I cried so many nights
30:21wishing that girl was me.
