The Last Christmas For Daddy To Love Me
Transcript
00:00Your son's condition has deteriorated since the cancer diagnosis three months ago.
00:05I don't think he'll make it to the new year.
00:08The most that we can do is make him comfortable.
00:12No!
00:16Mommy.
00:19It hurts.
00:21Mommy, don't cry.
00:26I should be comforting you.
00:28I'm the mom.
00:30We come from each other, Mommy.
00:32Theo knows he has cancer, but I can't tell him he's dying.
00:38He deserves one last happy Christmas.
00:41Hey, what do you want for Christmas, sweetie?
00:45All I want is to see Daddy on Christmas Eve.
00:50It's been three months.
00:52I wonder if he got me a present.
00:55Can you call him?
00:59My husband hasn't been home for the past three months.
01:07Raymond, can I get this toy?
01:10Of course.
01:12You can call me Dad.
01:26Where were we?
01:29Hi, you've reached Raymond.
01:30Leave me a message after the beep.
01:37All right.
01:38Give me just a second, okay?
01:40I apologize.
01:43What?
01:44I know you're with your mistress, but...
01:46I don't want a lecture from you.
01:48You need to come to the hospital.
01:50It's Theo.
01:52He is sick.
01:54It's bad.
01:55Ava, I don't have time for this.
01:57Probably just a fool, and you're probably overreacting just like you always do.
02:00Achoo!
02:02Hey, kiddo.
02:03You okay?
02:06Raymond.
02:14That bastard couldn't care less about his own son.
02:17And now I have to tell him his dad isn't coming.
02:21Daddy can't make it.
02:22I'm so sorry.
02:25He's not that other kid, isn't he?
02:28There's probably a good reason he's just a other family.
02:31And with Theo, you are the kindest boy I have ever known.
02:38I love you.
02:40There's nothing more the doctors can do for him here.
02:44You know what, bud?
02:46I think it's time to go home.
02:50We have Christmas to celebrate.
02:53But, I dear, if we go home, they won't go where to find us.
02:59Can you text him just to make sure he knows?
03:04Yeah.
03:06I'll do that.
03:11Can I get this teddy bear, too?
03:12Of course you can.
03:13You can have anything you want.
03:15Listen, Zane, I know that it's not going to cure your cardiac disease.
03:19But I do hope that these gifts make you just a little bit happier.
03:23Okay?
03:25Raymond, you're so good to him.
03:28But I can't believe Yomi has one year left to live for that.
03:35He is such a good kid.
03:37I'm going to go pay for these things, and I'll be back.
03:40Oh, I may have to stop by the house later.
03:52Zane!
03:53Get over here!
03:57We're sick.
03:58It doesn't look real.
04:00Try now, try now, mom!
04:01I don't know what cardiac disease looks like.
04:05He's back.
04:07Close!
04:11Oh, I don't know.
04:13Okay.
04:14Everything's paid for.
04:16Zane didn't want me to tell you this, but his dying wish is to see us get married.
04:22I don't know.
04:26Really?
04:27I told him it was impossible because of your situation.
04:32You know what?
04:33You're right.
04:33You should go home and check on your family.
04:37I mean, tomorrow is Christmas Eve, after all.
04:43You know what?
04:45My family's fine.
04:47They don't need me.
04:48The only family that needs me is right here.
04:51Oh, Raven.
04:59So, when are you going to tell your wife you want a divorce?
05:05When are you going to tell your wife you want a divorce?
05:09I'll talk to her soon.
05:10I was going to wait until after Christmas.
05:13You know?
05:19I mean, Zane may not survive past Christmas.
05:25And he just wants us to be a real family.
05:32You're right.
05:34We don't have time to waste.
05:35I love you, and I want to be Zane's father.
05:39I'll tell her tonight.
05:53Okay.
05:54Come on.
05:56Nice and easy.
05:58Okay.
06:00I want to make Daddy a Christmas present.
06:03I wonder what he's going to bring me.
06:08Okay, buddy.
06:09It's Christmas Eve.
06:10So, you can open one present early.
06:14Ooh.
06:15I wonder what it's inside.
06:18It's Legos.
06:19I love it.
06:30Dad said he might not make it today.
06:34He...
06:35Daddy!
06:37You can't!
06:42Ray, you're here.
06:44I'm surprised.
06:46You spent Christmas Eve of us tomorrow.
06:50I don't know, buddy.
06:51I need to talk to your mommy about something.
06:54Raymond, there's something important I need to tell you, too.
06:57I...
06:57Daddy!
06:58Can I tell Smash Bros. on the fire?
07:00Oh!
07:01They can play Monopoly together.
07:03Theo, I'm talking to your mother.
07:04Give us a second.
07:05Please.
07:08Yeah.
07:09Of course, Daddy.
07:11I love you.
07:17Theo looks skinny.
07:19They lose weight?
07:24That's what I have to talk to you about.
07:26I want a divorce.
07:31I want a divorce.
07:33I marry Miranda.
07:34Soon.
07:35Zane is ill, and he needs a father.
07:42And our son doesn't?
07:43Theo will be fine.
07:45Theo is sick, and he needs a father.
07:47Don't lie about our son's leverage, Ava.
07:48Can't you see?
07:49He is not doing well.
07:51He's not doing well because he has an hysterical mother like you.
07:53Ray, he is not...
07:54Enough!
07:59What do you want?
08:01Money?
08:03I'll give you money.
08:04You sign the papers, and we get a quick divorce.
08:11I don't care about your damn money!
08:16If you want a divorce, I'll give you a divorce.
08:20On one condition.
08:23You spend Christmas Eve here with our son.
08:28Fine.
08:30Done.
08:32Merry Christmas.
08:40What happened?
08:42Where'd Daddy go?
08:43I was going to play Monopoly with him.
08:45Daddy had to go to work, sweetie.
08:48But guess what?
08:50He said he will spend Christmas Eve here with us.
08:54This is going to be the best Christmas ever.
08:59You're right.
09:01It will be.
09:14Mommy.
09:15When did Daddy get here?
09:18Is it soon?
09:20It's Christmas Eve.
09:29Can you put some makeup on me to make me look healthy?
09:36Sure, Theo.
09:44When Daddy sees me, he's going to think I look so good.
09:56You're late.
09:58When are you coming?
10:02Ava, about today.
10:04Don't you dare cancel.
10:06You promised your son that you would spend Christmas Eve with him.
10:09Come on.
10:11It's not that big of a deal.
10:13Ray, his fever is going up.
10:17Oh, I feel so sick, Molly.
10:20Oh, my God.
10:21You're with that woman and her son.
10:24Stop being such a bitch.
10:26It's over.
10:27I told you.
10:27I chose Miranda.
10:29You have to come.
10:34For Theo.
10:35You can't do this to your son on Christmas Eve.
10:43I'm not coming home.
10:49Theo!
10:54Theo!
10:56Hey, Theo.
10:59Hey, Theo.
11:02Hey, Mommy.
11:04I'm OK.
11:07It's got a lot of tears off.
11:10Is Daddy coming?
11:15Yes.
11:17He'll be here, sweetheart.
11:23Get your ass here, Ray.
11:26Ava, stop being so selfish.
11:28I told you I can't.
11:31How are you feeling, buddy?
11:33Not so good, Dad.
11:36His temperature is really high, and it could weaken his heart even more.
11:40I'll call my private doctor.
11:42He's the best in the States.
11:44He'll come by, and he'll see Zane.
11:45No.
11:46No.
11:47No, no, no, no.
11:49I'm not coming.
11:55Oh, that's hot.
11:56Stop touching it.
11:58You don't want to be fatherless, do you?
12:02Oh.
12:08I don't want to be fatherless, I don't want to be fatherless, I don't want to take him away
12:10from his family on Christmas Eve.
12:11They don't make it through.
12:12You sure?
12:13Yeah, you should go, too, babe.
12:15You made a promise to your family.
12:18OK, if you say so.
12:20Thank you for understanding.
12:22You're an angel, Miranda.
12:26Really.
12:32Oh, my fever.
12:34Help.
12:35Oh, please don't go.
12:37I need a daddy to take care of me.
12:39Please.
12:47Um, OK, don't worry, kiddo, I'll stay.
12:51I won't leave you while you're sick.
12:53Are you sure?
12:54I mean, we don't want to take you away from your family on Christmas Eve.
12:58You're my family.
13:01How about I order in from the nicest restaurant in town when we celebrate Christmas?
13:04I hope you start feeling strong again, right, buddy?
13:12He might sit there all night waiting, because that asshole isn't coming.
13:19Hey, Theo.
13:23Your favorite.
13:26Thanks, Mommy.
13:31Hey, you don't have to eat it if you're not feeling well.
13:34It's OK.
13:35I can, Mommy.
13:37I should save part of it for Daddy.
13:52Smash!
13:56He's not too sick to eat, I guess.
13:59It's his new medication.
14:01It gives him an appetite.
14:03Oh.
14:07I'm sorry.
14:08I'll put that on silent.
14:12Oh, it's like the medicine's really working, huh?
14:26Damn it.
14:26I have to go.
14:30It's OK.
14:32Go.
14:34I can't believe my son is dying!
14:37On Christmas!
14:40Christmas!
14:44I can't believe my son is dying!
14:47Hey, hey.
14:48Hey.
14:50Don't cry.
14:52I should get an Oscar for this performance.
14:55What can I do to cheer you up, huh?
14:58Hmm?
14:59How about some early Christmas gifts?
15:02Gimme, gimme, gimme!
15:03Yeah?
15:04Okay.
15:05Hey, man.
15:05That's too sweet.
15:08Sing.
15:09There you go.
15:10Love.
15:11Oh!
15:17Hell, yeah!
15:22A diamond necklace!
15:25This is too much!
15:27No.
15:28No.
15:29Nothing is too much for my woman.
15:31Oh, honey.
15:34Oh, baby.
15:36Hmm.
15:39Do you think Daddy's OK?
15:42He said he'd be here.
15:44I have to tell him the truth.
15:46Theo, honey.
15:48Daddy isn't going to make it.
15:50Why?
15:51I can't tell him he's with his other family.
15:55He is busy with work.
16:00But it's Christmas Eve.
16:02He promised he'd be here.
16:05I know.
16:07Hey, you know what?
16:09We forgot a tradition.
16:12What if we open one of your Christmas presents early?
16:18I think you'll like this one.
16:23It's Legos!
16:25I love it.
16:31Thanks, Mommy.
16:32Mm-hmm.
16:33Daddy and I used to build Legosettes together.
16:37Maybe we can build this one.
16:39I don't think so, sweetheart.
16:43Is Daddy not coming because he looks like me?
16:47Is it because I'm sick?
16:50The reason Daddy isn't coming has nothing to do with you.
16:54He doesn't know that you're...
16:57Daddy!
16:58You came!
16:59Doesn't know he's what?
17:02Daddy, you came!
17:05I knew he'd come!
17:06Yeah, I came.
17:07Just how Mommy demanded.
17:13Thanks for the present, Daddy.
17:16Mommy, look.
17:17Look at the gingerbread house you gave me.
17:23What the hell, Raymond?
17:25Get off my back, Ava.
17:27It's broken!
17:28The gingerbread house is ruined!
17:29Oh, my God, Theo.
17:30Stop crying.
17:31You're being dramatic, just like your mother.
17:33You're an asshole!
17:34If you like it, I can take it back.
17:36Get you a bigger gift next year.
17:41There won't be a next year!
17:44What do you mean there won't be a next year?
17:46What does that mean?
17:49Theo here.
17:53Jesus.
17:59What did you mean there won't be a next year?
18:01If I tell Ray about his cancer in front of him, Theo will know he's dying.
18:07I can't ruin my son's last Christmas.
18:11We can talk about it later, alone.
18:17Hey, Daddy and I didn't mean to fight, sweetheart.
18:25It's okay, Daddy.
18:26I like the gingerbread house.
18:29Oh, wait.
18:31I made you a Christmas present, too.
18:35Yeah.
18:41Wow, thanks, Theo.
18:43I really like this.
18:44You know what?
18:45I forgot.
18:46I actually brought you a better gift.
18:51This is awesome.
18:53Thanks, Daddy.
18:56Let's put it on the Christmas tree.
18:57I saw that and I thought you'd like it.
19:00I love it.
19:13What is it, sweetie?
19:20Really, Raymond?
19:22A free ornament from a restaurant?
19:25Unbelievable!
19:26I like it.
19:28I swear.
19:29So what if it's free?
19:30He likes it.
19:31A gift is a gift, right?
19:32You put in zero effort.
19:34Let's just stop arguing.
19:36Mommy, Daddy, let's just enjoy some yummy gingerbread, okay?
19:44Ray may be a shitty father, but he's still Theo's dad.
19:49I need to find a way to tell him about Theo's condition before it's too late.
19:55Daddy, really, what?
19:56Thanks, Daddy.
19:57I need to talk to you about something serious.
20:00It's important.
20:02Mommy, I don't feel so good.
20:05It's about Theo.
20:06He...
20:08Oh, Theo, come on!
20:13Oh, Theo, come on!
20:16Why did you have to eat so much until you puked?
20:19I'm sorry.
20:20I didn't mean to.
20:21I'm so sorry.
20:25Don't worry, baby.
20:28I'm fine.
20:29Are you okay?
20:30Yeah, I'm okay.
20:32Well, I'm not okay.
20:33I've puked all over my expensive shoes.
20:35These are Italian leather.
20:36Who cares about your fucking shit?
20:38I care!
20:39You are a selfish bitch!
20:40Oh, way to go, Ava.
20:41Real nice using that language in front of our son.
20:44You are ruining his last Christmas.
20:46Ray, my house is flooded.
20:50We have nowhere to go.
20:53This is a nightmare.
20:54We need you.
20:56Okay, Miranda, calm down, all right?
20:58It's gonna be fine.
20:59Where are you right now, honey?
21:05I'm here.
21:08I'm right here.
21:10Move.
21:12Hi.
21:13Hi.
21:16Seriously?
21:17You bring your mistress home for Christmas?
21:20Uh, I prefer girlfriend.
21:22Oh, my God.
21:23This house is small and sad.
21:25The Christmas decorations suck.
21:27That's because they're cheap, honey.
21:29Oh, God, and it smells like a hospital.
21:32I am so sorry about your house and the flood.
21:34Are you guys okay?
21:36No, we cannot spend Christmas in a flooded house.
21:40The mold could kill my son, and he's sick.
21:43Don't worry.
21:44You can stay here.
21:45Okay.
21:46No.
21:48Ray.
21:49This is where I draw the line.
21:51Your mistress and her son are not staying in my home over Christmas Eve.
21:55Come on.
21:55Where else are they gonna go?
21:56It's Christmas Eve.
21:57I swear to God, Ray.
21:59I...
21:59Well, if Daddy wants them here, I'm okay with it.
22:04Theo has days left to live, and I won't let him ruin them.
22:09Raymond, what don't you understand?
22:12They cannot stay here.
22:29Theo, Theo.
22:31I'm fine.
22:33Stop being such a loser, baby.
22:36You could have killed him.
22:38Get off my son.
22:39This is just a dart gun, you crazy bitch.
22:42God, you said she was overprotective, but this is ridiculous.
22:47Get out of my house.
22:49Make me.
22:52Ava, calm down.
22:54You're embarrassing me.
22:56Miranda and Zane are guests.
22:59I'm fine.
23:00Everybody, don't worry.
23:01Then get out of the way.
23:03I'm playing with my new Christmas gift that I got from my daddy.
23:08Wait, your daddy got you that?
23:11Yeah, duh.
23:13You get me good stuff all the time.
23:17He's my daddy.
23:19Not anymore.
23:20For the sake of our child, I will contain myself.
23:23But your mistress needs to get out now.
23:26And I need to talk to you privately.
23:28I'm sure I can wait.
23:30Oh, look, honey, there's Mistletail.
23:31Kiss me.
23:42That's not Mistletoe.
23:44It's Holly.
23:47It's Holly.
23:49Oops, my bad.
23:52Give mommy a minute.
23:55Oh, my God.
23:57Is this the whole house?
23:59No way.
24:00Let's see what they have in the fridge.
24:03Now you're kissing her in front of our son?
24:05Relax.
24:06He didn't see anything.
24:07You are flaunting your affair in front of our child on Christmas Eve.
24:11I'm not flaunting anything.
24:12And you cannot protect Theo from everything for the rest of his life.
24:15Besides, when you sign the divorce papers, it's not going to be an affair anymore.
24:20I can't believe you are bringing that up now.
24:22Oh, I'm sorry.
24:23I'm so practical, Ava.
24:24One of us has to be the adult here.
24:26The adult?
24:27Mm-hmm.
24:28I am the one who has been with our son while he is.
24:31Blah, blah, blah, blah.
24:32All you do is complain.
24:34Can we just sign the divorce papers and be done with this now?
24:36You will need to sign the divorce papers on Christmas Eve.
24:40Yes.
24:43No way in hell am I signing these papers!
25:01You're being way more dramatic than you need to be.
25:04I can't let him see these.
25:06Not now.
25:06Why?
25:07We're adults here, and he's going to find out eventually.
25:09Maybe.
25:10I want to give me a photo.
25:12Great idea, but I want my son in it.
25:14Hey, Theo!
25:16Dad, Daddy!
25:17Come in here.
25:18We need a photo.
25:19Okay.
25:20Where should I stand for the photo?
25:22Like the stand for the Christmas tree.
25:24Oh, no, you're not going to be in it.
25:25I want you to take the photo of me, Miranda, and Zane.
25:28Hey, Zane, get in here!
25:30Oh, coming, Daddy.
25:31Do you want me to take the photo?
25:34Here, take it.
25:35Raymond, don't make him do this!
25:37Hold it long ways like that so you get a good shot.
25:45I want you to take the photo of me, you, and Mommy.
25:48Yeah, sure, buddy.
25:49We can do it next year.
25:51I can't tell Theo there's not going to be a next year.
25:56All right, our first family photo.
25:59Who's ready for some eggnog?
26:01Me, me, me!
26:02Hey, Ray, maybe you could take one with Theo?
26:05Tell me dramatic, Dave.
26:06We'll take a selfie later.
26:08It's eggnog time.
26:12I want to look at the photo.
26:22Yeah!
26:23Eddie, are you okay?
26:25This idiot baby fell over.
26:28His little body is giving out.
26:30The cancer is winning.
26:32It's just a matter of time now.
26:37You pushed my son.
26:39Apologize!
26:40Huh?
26:41I didn't do anything, lady.
26:43I don't want to start a fight on Christmas Eve.
26:46I said apologize!
26:49Hey, back off, bitch!
26:53Zane, do the thing.
26:55What?
26:55Zane, I need you to fall to the ground.
27:00Mommy!
27:01What's going on in here?
27:03Theo, boy, me!
27:05Theo, why would you do that?
27:11I did it, I swear!
27:13I promised that he, I can't push him!
27:16Ray, this kid is lying!
27:18Oh, please!
27:19You want to blame this sweet child just because you can't control your own son?
27:22Zane is an angel!
27:25Okay, okay, please, just calm down.
27:29Theo, Theo can't take this.
27:32He needs peace and love on his last Christmas.
27:36He's just being emotional.
27:38He's emotional because he's dying and his dad abandoned him.
27:45I have to get Raymond alone.
27:49Hey, you're exhausted.
27:51You need to rest at bedtime, okay, baby?
27:55Okay, I'm truly bad.
27:57Okay.
28:02Let's use this room.
28:13Hey, this is my room.
28:19What the hell is this thing?
28:21Oh, God.
28:22Theo's pills.
28:23Stop that.
28:26Don't worry about that.
28:32I can do whatever I want.
28:34It's my room.
28:38That's right, Theo needs his room.
28:41He needs to rest in his bed.
28:44He needs his oxygen tank and his meds.
28:47It's just one night.
28:48It's not that big of a deal.
28:50I have to tell him Theo has cancer.
28:53Raymond, I need to talk to you now.
28:56Tell them it's his room, babe.
28:58Zane needs his rest for his cardiac disease.
29:03Be a good boy and give Zane your room tonight, okay?
29:08Zane is very sick.
29:09You understand.
29:14Well, Zane needs it more than I do.
29:19Mommy, he can have it.
29:24That's your Christmas spirit.
29:31You know what?
29:33You can stay the night in my room tonight.
29:37How about that?
29:38Raymond is so obsessed with his mistress.
29:41He doesn't even notice how sick Theo is.
29:45Someday, he'll regret how awful he is being to his son.
30:01Mommy, I don't feel so good.
30:08You're burning up.
30:09Um, let me check your temperature.
30:14Wait, open up.
30:16You know the drill.
30:17Close.
30:18Just a little longer.
30:20Mommy.
30:231.05.
30:25Mommy, you need your pills.
30:27Oh, God.
30:28The doctor said his organs could shut down.
30:31It's happening.
30:33I am going to get your pills, and we're going to go to the hospital, sweetie.
30:36It's burning up.
30:40I know, baby.
30:41I know.
30:41It's the fever.
30:42Daddy and I are going to get you in the car, okay?
30:45Until Mommy.
30:46It's Christmas time.
30:51Raymond.
30:56We need to get Theo to the hospital.
30:58He has a dangerously high fever.
31:00He does?
31:01This bitch keeps stealing his attention.
31:04I'm going to get him back.
31:13Help, Mommy.
31:15You're an elf.
31:16Oh, my God.
31:16What happened?
31:17Are you hurt?
31:20Oh, my God.
31:21What happened?
31:22Are you hurt?
31:22I put myself on the bike.
31:25Oh, no.
31:25Oh, my God.
31:26God damn it, Raymond.
31:27He needs to go now.
31:29I need your help.
31:30Can you please get the bed?
31:30It is just the flu, Ava.
31:32It's not the fucking flu.
31:33He needs to get to the ER right now.
31:35He could get an infection and die.
31:37Oh, Daddy.
31:38It hurts him bad.
31:39Raymond, your son needs you.
31:43Daddy, please.
31:51Zayne needs me more.
31:54I'm going to take care of him.
31:55You're going to choose him over your own son?
32:00You are heartless.
32:04Let's go.
32:05I'm going to get you to the hospital, son.
32:07No, Daddy.
32:08Please.
32:09Hey, hey, hey.
32:10Hey, hey.
32:11It's okay.
32:12It's okay.
32:12I'm going to get your meds, and then we're going to get in the car and go to the hospital,
32:16okay?
32:20Oh, no.
32:21That's our only car.
32:22Please come back.
32:23Come back.
32:23Please come back.
32:26Oh, God.
32:27Zayne.
32:29My son is having a seizure.
32:31He has stage four cancer.
32:33No, we need an ambulance right away.
32:34Hey, hey, hey.
32:35It's okay.
32:36Hurry.
32:41His seizure passed, but his kidneys are failing.
32:45Your son needs emergency surgery right now.
32:47God.
32:49Please save him.
32:51We'll do everything we can.
32:53Mommy, please forgive me.
32:57Oh, baby.
33:00When I get better, will you play in the snow?
33:06I love you, Theo.
33:09I love you, too.
33:22Ava?
33:24What are you doing here?
33:26I've been trying to tell you our son is sick.
33:30Oh, God.
33:32Don't listen to her.
33:33You're just making shit up to get his attention.
33:36You shut up.
33:37I am talking to my husband.
33:40Your son is in emergency surgery.
33:43What?
33:44No.
33:45He's fine.
33:46She's just desperate, and she's using Theo to get to you.
33:50Don't listen to her, Daddy.
33:52What's wrong with Theo?
33:53He was fine earlier.
33:54Come on.
33:55Let's go.
34:00Oh, my God.
34:01That's my son.
34:02That's Theo.
34:05What is he doing in there?
34:06What's wrong with him?
34:07What's wrong?
34:08Theo has cancer.
34:10What?
34:10No, he doesn't.
34:12Miss Raymond.
34:12Theo doesn't have cancer.
34:13He's a kid.
34:14There's no way he has cancer.
34:16She's lying.
34:17She just doesn't want the divorce to happen, and she's trying to make you stay,
34:21and she knows Zane is sick, and she's a jealous psycho.
34:25How long has he been sick?
34:28He was diagnosed three months ago.
34:30That's when I moved in with Miranda.
34:37Mrs. Perry.
34:40Doctor, how is he?
34:41Doctor, my son doesn't have cancer, right?
34:43This has to be a mistake.
34:45How could you not know that your son has stage four cancer?
34:49I'm sorry.
34:52Your son needs you because he's dying.
34:55You're doing everything you can to save him.
35:01You're doing everything you can to save him.
35:05Excuse me.
35:09How could you not tell me that our son has cancer?
35:14What?
35:15How could you keep something like that from me?
35:18This is not about you.
35:20You son of a bitch.
35:22You left.
35:24You left me and your dying son to go spoil someone else's child.
35:29He was dying, and you were off with this bitch.
35:32Get your finger out of my face.
35:34What?
35:35I tried calling you for months, but you never picked up your goddamn fault.
35:39No, that is not true.
35:41I tried, and I tried again today when you were at the house, but I couldn't talk to you.
35:46I couldn't get through to you because you were so goddamn blinded by this bitch.
35:51Don't listen to her, babe.
35:53She's just jealous.
35:54You shut the fuck up.
35:55You are not part of this.
35:57I'm gonna be his wife, bitch.
35:58And Zane will be his son.
36:02Well, Zane is clearly lying about having cardiac disease.
36:06He's not dying.
36:08What?
36:09He's not even sick.
36:10How dare you say such a thing about my child?
36:13How could you know that Zane's sick or not just by looking at him?
36:17Because, Raymond, I have been nursing our dying son through cancer for the last three months alone.
36:26I know what dying looks like, and Zane, he is.
36:31He eats, he sleeps, he jumps.
36:34He's strong.
36:36He is a perfectly healthy kid.
36:38You're full of shit.
36:43Oh, my God.
36:44Has he been lying about being sick?
36:51Miranda, what kind of cardiac disease does Zane have?
36:54I forget the name.
36:56Tell me now.
36:57Don't make me say it.
36:59It's traumatic to remember.
37:01Please, Zane is sick.
37:02I need you.
37:03Answer me, Miranda.
37:04What medication is he on?
37:06Um, I...
37:07When was he diagnosed?
37:09Who's his cardiologist?
37:11I can't remember.
37:12Because you're lying.
37:14A mother would never forget the name of a doctor who is trying to save her son's life.
37:22Oh, hi, Zane.
37:24Oh, what's up, Doc?
37:25Oh, shit.
37:26That's his pediatrician.
37:28Zane, come here, honey.
37:29We don't talk to strangers.
37:31Very funny, Miss Forsythe.
37:34I'm sorry, you two know each other?
37:36Um, Mom?
37:39Yes, I'm Zane's pediatrician, who was just in last week for a checkup.
37:43Well, in that case, Doctor, please tell me, does this boy have cardiac disease?
37:50Well, I can't give out private health information unless Miss Forsythe, as his mother, wants me to.
37:55I do not want you to, because I want to respect my child's privacy.
38:00Well, if you're not lying, you have nothing to hide.
38:03Doctor, does this boy have cardiac disease, yes or no?
38:05Oh, I just did an examination and...
38:08Do you want to lose your job?
38:11Honey, we're going to Miss Santa.
38:14We need to leave.
38:15It's time to go.
38:16She's lying.
38:17I swear, this kid isn't sick.
38:20My child is none of your business.
38:24Come on, honey, let's go home.
38:25Stop pulling on me.
38:26Doctor, wait.
38:30Doctor, technically, you can share information about what this kid does not have.
38:38You do have a point?
38:40So, Doctor, please tell me, does this boy have cardiac disease or not?
38:47No, he is completely healthy.
38:53Oh, my God, you are lying!
38:55Are you even a real doctor?
38:58You sound insane!
39:00You have been lying to me for months, telling me that Zane has cardiac disease.
39:05You told me he was dying!
39:07Listen, babe.
39:08Don't call me babe, I don't know you.
39:10What kind of a person lies about their child dying?
39:16What?
39:17No.
39:21Shh.
39:22They're both conning you.
39:26Oh, my God.
39:28You're both liars.
39:33Admit it.
39:36Tell me to my face.
39:40Okay, this is just a misunderstanding.
39:44Zane was sick, but he's better now.
39:46Please believe me.
39:47No, I don't believe anything that you say.
39:49I'm so stupid.
39:51You've been lying to me the whole time.
39:54I can't believe my son is dying!
39:58I'm graven!
39:59Wait, what happened?
40:00Are you hurt?
40:01I put myself on the fire.
40:03Zane didn't want me to tell you this, but his dying wish is to see us get married.
40:11You've been playing me all along.
40:15This whole charade took me away from my dying son.
40:18No, listen, I love you.
40:20Please.
40:22You don't need that little walking Forbes.
40:26You have a real family.
40:27Don't you dare!
40:28Talk about my son like that!
40:35Raymond, while our son was dying of cancer, this piece of shit was manipulating you!
40:40Shut up, bitch!
40:43And don't listen to her!
40:44Don't touch me!
40:45Get this out of proportion!
40:48What about our wedding?
40:49What wedding?
40:51Oh my God, are you absolutely insane?
40:53No, I don't want to lose you.
40:55I love you.
40:56Listen to me.
40:57I regret the day that I ever met you and your little con artist son.
41:03And I want nothing to do with you ever again, and I hope you rot in a gutter on Christmas.
41:09You don't mean that.
41:11I do mean that.
41:12You love me!
41:12I don't love you.
41:13I hate you.
41:14You disgust me.
41:15And I can't stand to look at your face.
41:17You don't mean that!
41:19Get out of my house now.
41:21Where are we gonna live?
41:22I don't give a shit!
41:25You and we're family.
41:26No, we are not family.
41:28We are nothing, and I want nothing to do with you ever again.
41:31And I regret ever having known you, and I'm gonna do the one thing that I should have done this
41:35entire time,
41:36and that is choose my own family.
41:45Security!
41:46Please.
41:47Security!
41:53I am pressing charges against this woman.
41:56You're stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from me from an elaborate con.
42:00Please.
42:01I'm innocent.
42:03I'm just a kid.
42:04No, he's not.
42:05He's in on it, too.
42:06Damn it, Sam.
42:07You ruined everything.
42:09I found you a rich daddy to support us, and you blew it!
42:15You finally admit to being a gold-digging piece of trash!
42:22Screw you, you sad, ugly bitch!
42:26Your son's lucky he's dying, so he won't have to deal with a mother like you!
42:34I hope you rot in prison.
42:38Don't you ever talk to my wife like that again.
42:42Security, get him out of here.
42:44Get off me!
42:45I'm doing hope to get a deal!
42:47God!
42:48Don't want me!
43:01I'm so sorry.
43:04Theo.
43:05He really has cancer.
43:08Yes?
43:09Try to tell me.
43:12Raymond, there's something important I need to tell you, too.
43:14Theo is sick, and he needs a father!
43:17Oh, Ava, don't lie about our son's leverage.
43:19There won't be a next year!
43:21What do you mean there won't be a next year?
43:24Theo!
43:25He tried to tell me, but I couldn't listen.
43:28I'm so sorry.
43:31I'm so, so sorry.
43:35I wanted to hear that for so long.
43:40I abandoned you.
43:42I abandoned you both.
43:45I'm sorry I didn't know.
43:46If I would have known, I would have done better, I promise.
43:49But I can make it up to you.
43:51Raymond, you can't!
43:52Yes, I can.
43:53And when Theo gets out of surgery,
43:55I'm going to get him all the gifts,
43:56I'm going to get him all the presents,
43:57and then we can be together as a family.
44:00Okay?
44:01We'll spend time together.
44:02We'll have the best Christmas.
44:04I promise.
44:05Please, let me make it up to you.
44:06Please?
44:09You still don't get it.
44:15Doctor.
44:16Doctor, how's Theo?
44:17How is he?
44:18I am so sorry.
44:21You didn't make it.
44:23Your son is dead.
44:28No, no, no, no, no.
44:30That can't be.
44:30He's not dead.
44:34This can't be true, no.
44:36There's no way this is happening.
44:37I am so sorry.
44:38We did everything we could.
44:42I told you what was going on.
44:46And he wouldn't listen.
44:53Our sweet little boy,
44:55all he wanted was you,
44:57and now he's dead.
45:03He's not.
45:04He's not dead.
45:06He's not.
45:08He's not dead.
45:09He can't be.
45:09There's no way.
45:10He's fine.
45:10Theo is fine.
45:11I'm sorry, Mr. Perry.
45:14Your son is gone.
45:25Is that him?
45:28No, no, no, no, no.
45:30This can't be him.
45:32See, this body is too small.
45:34My son is bigger than that.
45:35This is not Theo.
45:35This can't be him.
45:36Would you like to see him?
45:42Yes.
45:43I want to see my son.
45:59My baby.
46:03It's him.
46:05It's him.
46:06It's Theo.
46:10Oh, he can play him and Emily together.
46:12Theo, I'm talking to your mother.
46:15It's broken.
46:16The gingerbread house is away.
46:18Oh, my God.
46:18Stop crying, Theo.
46:21Oh, my God.
46:23Stop crying, Theo.
46:38I'm so sorry.
46:45I didn't spend time with you.
46:47I didn't take care of you.
46:52Should we play the Legos and drawing pictures?
47:00My one job was to protect you, and I failed.
47:07I didn't deserve you.
47:18I didn't give you a chance to say goodbye.
47:22I'm so sorry.
47:25I'm so sorry, Theo.
47:45I'm so sorry.
47:52My son is dead.
47:58He was gone.
48:00I wasn't there.
48:02I wasn't there.
48:04I wasn't there for any of his diagnosis, for the doctor's appointments, for his chemo.
48:21You had to do it all alone. You had to take care of our dying son alone.
48:28Yeah, I did.
48:31I took it for granted.
48:34I didn't know that I already had everything that I ever wanted. I'm so sorry.
48:43You're so much stronger than I'll ever be.
48:46I'm so sorry, Ava.
48:48This is all my fault, but we need each other right now, okay? We have to grieve together.
48:57Together?
48:59Yeah, we can't do this alone. I can't do it alone.
49:05Raymond, we've been married, but I've been alone for a long time.
49:11But you don't have to be, okay? I was an idiot, and I will make it up to you.
49:15What do you mean?
49:19Take me back.
49:23Please.
49:27Really?
49:28I need you. I love you.
49:33I will take the rest of my life making it up to you, but I promise you I will fix
49:36it.
49:41I will take the rest of my life making it up to you, but I promise you I will fix
49:45it.
49:45No.
49:47No?
49:48No what?
49:50I prayed for years that one day you would wake up and choose me and choose our family.
50:01But no, I won't take you back.
50:05Ava, please, I swear.
50:08I swear.
50:10No more Miranda.
50:11No more distractions.
50:12I will make it up to you, please.
50:15Raymond.
50:16Ava, please, please.
50:19We love each other.
50:20We're supposed to be together.
50:22We're meant to be together.
50:23We need to be together.
50:24We're Theo's parents.
50:26We're Theo's mommy and daddy.
50:29We belong together.
50:30So please just take me back.
50:31I am begging you.
50:32I am begging you.
50:33Choose me.
50:39I choose myself.
50:42Raymond, listen to me.
50:45I will not take you back.
50:48Ever.
50:49But why?
50:51Why?
50:51Because I just wasted the last Christmas of our son's life trying to convince you to love us.
51:03But I do.
51:04I do love you and I know that now.
51:07No more Miranda.
51:08No more Zane.
51:09They're gone.
51:11So?
51:12That doesn't change what you did.
51:14You were a shitty father.
51:18And you failed him.
51:21Our son was dying and all that sweet little boy wanted was you.
51:29And you, you have to live with that.
51:32I will do anything.
51:34I will do anything, Ava.
51:37I will fix it.
51:39There's no way to fix it.
51:43Theo is gone.
51:44Oh, no.
51:45Fine.
51:45Fine.
51:45Just, you don't have to forgive me.
51:48Just take me back.
51:49Cleo, what do you want?
51:50Do you want money?
51:51I will give you money.
51:52Okay.
51:53Fuck you.
51:53No, no.
51:54Five million dollars for us to stay together.
51:56Here.
51:56Write yourself a check.
51:57You can have it all.
51:58Take it.
52:02Fine.
52:04I'll take the money.
52:07And I'll do something good with it.
52:09Do whatever you want with it.
52:10It's yours.
52:13But I won't be with you.
52:15And I will never speak to you again.
52:25Goodbye, Raymond.
52:28Merry Christmas.
52:34Ava, don't go.
52:36Please.
52:38Don't leave.
52:53Ava.
52:56Theo.
53:29Thank you all for coming today.
53:32This new wing of the hospital will provide care for countless children battling cancer and housing for their families.
53:41I donated five million dollars to build this facility in honor of my kind, thoughtful, generous son, Theo.
53:53Theo lost his battle with cancer five years ago around Christmas.
53:59He fought so hard with grace and love, always thinking of other people first.
54:09I will never forget you, Theo.
54:12Mommy loves you.
54:38When I get better, I go play in the snow.
54:45I love you too, baby.
