KurzfilmeTranskript
00:00I had never been hit in my entire life.
00:04Jason, what gave you the right to hit me?
00:07Jason looking as nonchalant as if nothing had happened.
00:11I'm asking you! We were talking! Why did you hit me? What are you trying to prove?
00:16Don't you know? Posting those photos in the group, who are you trying to embarrass?
00:21My car is filthy, scratched, and dented, and am I not even allowed to ask about it?
00:26My parents bought that for me. I won't let your family trash it.
00:31Jason scoffed like he had just heard a joke.
00:34Let me tell you something. You married me. You belong to the Davis family now.
00:39That means your things belong to the Davis family too.
00:41So what if my family drives it? Even if they total it, it's our family's business.
00:45Who gave you the nerve to point fingers? I've been too nice to you, haven't I?
00:49What do you mean, point fingers?
00:51That car? Car is a premarital asset.
00:55My parents paid for it. How is it suddenly your family's property?
00:58I gave you an inch and you took a mile. Nobody wants to hear your legal nonsense!
01:02I took a mile? Get your facts straight.
01:04Did I tell your family to treat my, my car like a Dempster?
01:07Did I tell them to crash it and not say a damn word?
01:15All right, that's enough. Eve is just being immature.
01:18A harsh word is enough. There's no need to get physical over family matters.
01:22I don't mean to criticize you, Eve, but you're overreacting. It's just a car.
01:26Your office is close and taking the subway is so convenient.
01:30I have to drive Mason to school every day, rain or shine.
01:33You barely use it anyway. Why don't you just officially give it to me?
01:36That way you won't have to stress over it.
01:38My heart turning to ice. Why exactly should my car belong to you?
01:41Because you married into the Davis family.
01:44Whatever you bring in belongs to all of us.
01:47And because I gave the Davis family a grandson!
01:51You've been married for years and your stomach is completely flat.
01:55You can't even produce a girl. You're probably barren.
01:59Suddenly, everything made perfect sense.
02:02Oh, I see.
02:03So in your eyes, a woman is just a breeding tool?
02:06You popped out a kid so now you're entitled to steal my property?
02:12Are you rebelling?
02:14You don't get to call the shots in this house.
02:16My word is law.
02:18I try to be nice to you and you dare talk back to me?
02:21Don't get worked up, old man. It's not worth it.
02:25Don't lower yourself to her level.
02:27Jason stepped between me and his parents.
02:29Are you done acting crazy?
02:31Let me make this clear.
02:32If you give my dad a heart attack, I swear to God I will end you!
02:36I didn't spare another glance at Jason or his Oscar-worthy parents.
02:40I turned and walked straight into the master bedroom.
02:43Behind me, I heard Martha say,
02:45Just leave her be, Jason. Let her throw her little fit.
02:48If she's got the guts, she won't come out for dinner.
02:52Starve her for a few days and she'll figure out her place.
02:55Once her head clears, she'll behave.
02:58I immediately started packing my clothes and personal belongings.
03:02Outside the door, they were chatting and laughing,
03:04probably assuming I'd come crawling back to apologize by morning.
03:07They were dead wrong.
03:08Their easy ride was officially over.
03:13The caller ID showed the name of a used car broker.
03:16I stepped into my bedroom.
03:17Miss Miller, I have a buyer very interested in your ride.
03:21They need a car immediately.
03:23However, your asking price of $150,000 is a bit steep,
03:28especially since you mentioned there's some cosmetic damage.
03:31Is there room for negotiation?
03:33If so, we can close the deal today.
03:35I'll drop it to $130,000.
03:38The buyer handles the repairs.
03:39But I have one condition.
03:41We meet at the DMV first thing tomorrow morning to transfer the title,
03:44and I want a full cash offer.
03:46$130,000 and they handle the repairs?
03:49That's a steal.
03:50I'll call the buyer right now.
03:51I'm sure he'll take it.
03:51You're very decisive, Miss Miller.
03:54Keep the transactions strictly confidential,
03:57especially from my family.
03:58I'll have all the paperwork ready by tonight.
04:01See you at 9 a.m. at the DMV.
04:03You have my word.
04:05Discretion is our policy.
04:07I'll personally walk you through the paperwork tomorrow.
04:12After hanging up, I quickly checked the family group chat.
04:15It had blown up.
04:17The latest message was from Kate.
04:19Where is our car?
04:20I swear I parked it right here last night.
04:23She attached a photo of the empty parking spot.
04:25Watching their pathetic, frantic performance,
04:28I simply exited the group chat, muted my phone, and tossed it into my purse.
04:32The paperwork at the DMV went smoothly.
04:35After a quick inspection, the buyer nodded.
04:38Ms. Miller, the engine and interior are in great shape.
04:40These cosmetic scratches are an easy fix.
04:42The price is very fair.
04:43The cashier's check is inside.
04:45Full amount.
04:46Feel free to verify it.
04:47That won't be necessary.
04:48I trust you, and I trust the people I choose to do business with.
04:52Looking a bit moved.
04:53You're a very straightforward person, Ms. Miller.
04:56Hopefully, we can do business again someday.
05:00Let me buy you lunch.
05:01I tucked the envelope safely away.
05:04I appreciate the offer, but I have some urgent personal matters to attend to.
05:09I booked a clean, quiet hotel room near my office.
05:13The next day, I met with a divorce attorney.
05:15I showed him the photos of my bruised face and explained the situation.
05:19Absolutely.
05:20This is clear-cut domestic violence.
05:22We have ample grounds for a fault-based divorce.
05:25We can also file for a restraining order if he tries to harass you.
05:28Right as we were speaking, my phone lit up.
05:31It was Jason.
05:32He had already called over 20 times.
05:35With my lawyer's reassurance, I answered and put him on speaker.
05:38Jason roared through the phone.
05:40Evelyn!
05:41You crazy bitch!
05:42Where the hell did you hide the car?
05:44We spent the entire morning looking for it.
05:46Mason couldn't even go to school today.
05:47What is your problem?
05:49Hide the car?
05:50What are you talking about?
05:52It's my car.
05:53It's registered under my name.
05:54Stop this psychotic tantrum.
05:57What do you mean your car?
05:58You married me.
05:59It's the Davis family's car.
06:01Bring it back right now.
06:02And on your way back, stop at Whole Foods and buy those imported loose leaf teas my dad likes.
06:08They didn't get to go grocery shopping today.
06:10Before I could speak, he started screaming again.
06:13Mia has that road trip this weekend.
06:15If you don't bring the car back, you're going to embarrass her in front of her friends.
06:19She works at a Fortune 500 company.
06:21Money, networking is important.
06:24Don't push your luck, Eve.
06:25Bring the damn car back.
06:29I picked up.
06:30Eve, honey, what's going on?
06:33Jason just called us.
06:34He said you threw a tantrum, ran away from home, and sold the car.
06:38He said you won't listen to reason.
06:41Sweetheart, what did they do to you?
06:43Tell mom.
06:44Don't be afraid, Eve.
06:46Did that punk can put his hands on you?
06:49I knew that family was trash from day one, but you insisted on marrying him.
06:55But that's in the past.
06:56Whatever happened, I've got your back.
06:59Clutching the phone, my voice finally cracked.
07:02Dad.
07:03Mom.
07:05Jason hit me.
07:06I still have the handprint on my face.
07:09My mom gasped, instantly choking back a sob.
07:11Where did he hit you?
07:13Does it hurt?
07:14How dare he lay a finger on my daughter?
07:17I'm okay.
07:19I've already hired a lawyer to file for divorce.
07:21My company is transferring me to a regional project near your house for the next year.
07:25Can I come stay with you guys?
07:26Of course you can.
07:28Tell me when you're arriving.
07:29I'm driving down to pick you up myself.
07:31Let's see that bastard Jason try to pull any stunts while I'm around.
07:41Are you out of your mind?
07:44Posting those photos in the family chat?
07:46Are you trying to humiliate us?
07:48He shoved me into the living room.
07:50That's my family!
07:51Kate and Mia are driving a family car!
07:54What gives you the right to catch an attitude?
07:57Apologize.
07:58Now!
07:58My dog whimpered at my feet.
08:00My sister-in-law, Kate, hurried her son into his room.
08:04She sauntered back out, dangling my car keys before tossing them onto the table like trash.
08:08Maybe if you weren't so useless and actually gave this family an heir.
08:12I wouldn't have to be the one hauling Marson to school.
08:15He's the priority.
08:17What does a childless woman like you need a Mercedes for anyway?
08:20Five minutes ago, I saw my Mercedes in the garage.
08:23My parents' wedding gift to save me from the subway.
08:26Now, it was caked in dried mud and bird droppings, covered in deep gouges.
08:30Two weeks ago, Mia borrowed it for a road trip.
08:33She didn't even say thank you.
08:34She just complained the gas mileage was trash.
08:38I posted the damage and demanded they pay for repairs.
08:41This slap was Jason's answer.
08:43I spat blood onto the floor and looked at these leeches.
08:48Enough!
08:49The neighbors can hear you screaming.
08:51It's just a damn car.
08:53From now on, Kate gets the car.
08:56It makes picking up Mason easier.
08:58I've made the decision.
08:59Did you hear that?
09:01Dad made the call.
09:02The car is mine now.
09:03If you argue, you're disrespecting Dad.
09:06With that, she marched into her bedroom.
09:10Arthur, I brought that car into this marriage.
09:12My parents paid for it.
09:14Legally and morally, it is my sole property.
09:17You think you can just hand it over with one sentence?
09:20Do you really think that's how the law works?
09:23I didn't say you couldn't use it.
09:25Arthur sat back down, taking a slow sip of his water.
09:29Kate taking the boy to school is a real necessity.
09:31Your office is a few blocks away.
09:34You take the subway for ten minutes and you're there.
09:36Why hoard the car?
09:38I almost laughed at the absurdity.
09:39My office was a 15-minute walk from the subway station, plus a 10-minute walk on the other end.
09:44Mason's kindergarten was literally two streets behind our apartment complex.
09:49Initially, I only lent her the car because I felt bad watching her ride an e-bike in the winter,
09:53but occasionally turned into always.
09:56Borrowing became a hostile takeover.
09:58My own kindness had brought me to this pathetic state, but I was done playing nice.
10:04You bunch of leeches can drop the fantasy right now.
10:06My car is never going to belong to anyone else.
10:14While I was washing my face in the bathroom, Martha was in the living room on the phone.
10:18Did you see the pictures your sister-in-law posted?
10:21She thinks she's royalty just because she owns a car.
10:24I have plans to go hiking with my friends this weekend.
10:27If she doesn't let me drive it, I'm going to look like an idiot.
10:31Why do you even care about her?
10:33That car hasn't been hers for a long time.
10:35It's Kate's now.
10:36If you want to use it, just ask Kate.
10:38She's reasonable.
10:40Kate is the best, unlike some people who treat a piece of metal like it's a priceless artifact.
10:45Like anyone cares.
10:46She's just new punny with no class.
10:49You're interning at a Fortune 500 company, Mia.
10:53You have a bright future.
10:55Soon you'll be driving a car way better than her junk piece.
10:58She's just petty.
11:00Don't lower yourself to her level.
11:02Mia's Fortune 500 internship?
11:04Did they really not know?
11:05Or were they just playing dumb?
11:07Just six months ago, I had swallowed my pride and begged an old college alumni who was a middle manager
11:12at that company to give her a shot.
11:13Later, my friend privately complained to me.
11:16He said Mia was entirely incompetent.
11:19Not only did she refuse to do actual work, but she spent all her time trying to flirt with the
11:24senior male executives.
11:25She was constantly bringing them coffee and acting overly familiar, making herself the laughingstock of the office.
11:31I had actually defended her.
11:34She's just young and naive.
11:36Give her time to learn.
11:37But listening to the sheer contempt radiating from the phone, I realized how pathetic I had been.
11:41I used to harbor the illusion that if I just compromised a little more, I could earn their genuine affection.
11:47Now I knew the truth.
11:49My phone buzzed.
11:52Before the sun even came up, I rolled my suitcase out of the bedroom.
11:56The door to the master bedroom was ajar.
11:58Sure enough, Martha had been woken up by the noise.
12:01What the hell are you doing at this ungodly hour?
12:05Making all this racket?
12:06Are you trying to wake the dead?
12:07I didn't even grant her a glance as I slipped into my shoes.
12:10I'm talking to you!
12:12Are you deaf?
12:13You have zero upbringing!
12:16I opened the front door and stepped out.
12:20Just as the door was closing behind me, I heard her scream.
12:25Get the hell out!
12:26And don't bother coming back!
12:28You ungrateful bitch!
12:29You were never good enough for the Davis family anyway!
12:32As the elevator descended, I caught my reflection in the mirrored doors.
12:35Good enough?
12:37That's not for you to decide anymore.
12:41Walking out of the building, I pulled out my phone and texted my landlord.
12:46Hey Sarah!
12:47Thanks for everything!
12:48I won't be renewing my lease next month.
12:51You can keep the security deposit to cover the early termination fee and cleaning costs.
12:55Before we got married, Jason promised we have our own home.
12:59He swore he'd buy me a beautiful house.
13:01Instead, after the wedding, his entire family migrated into this apartment,
13:05a place I was renting.
13:07Naturally, the rent was paid exclusively from my paycheck.
13:10They lived in the apartment I paid for, drove the car my parents bought me,
13:13and somehow still acted like I owed them my life.
13:16It was a psychotic level of entitlement.
13:18I hadn't seen it clearly before, but I wouldn't have to deal with it ever again.
13:22I walked over to my parking spot, unlocked the car with my spare key,
13:26and drove it straight to an auto detailer.
13:27Once the car was washed, the deep scratch on the door looked even more glaring.
13:31My phone rang.
13:33It was the broker.
13:34Hello?
13:35Mrs. Miller, the buyer is already at the DMV waiting for you.
13:38Can you head over now?
13:39I'm on my way.
13:44Wow.
13:44I didn't realize that car was the foundational pillaber of the Davis family.
13:48Without it, your nephew can't go to school,
13:51your parents can't buy groceries,
13:52and your sister can't maintain her fake socialette status.
13:55Well, that's too bad.
13:56I sold it yesterday.
13:59I guess your family's pillar just collapsed.
14:02Evelyn, you sold our car?
14:04Dear God, you vindictive psycho bitch!
14:07This marriage is over!
14:09Eve, you're out of your mind.
14:10If you give my mother a heart attack, I swear to God,
14:13if you don't get that car back,
14:15don't you ever step foot in this house again!
14:18I leaned back in my chair.
14:20Perfect.
14:20Because I just retained a lawyer.
14:22I'm filing for divorce on the grounds of domestic violence.
14:26I'll see you in court, Jason.
14:27Do not contact me again.
14:29I hung up and instantly blocked his number.
14:31Then, I blocked his entire family.
14:33The world was finally, blissfully quiet.
14:36A moment later, my phone rang again.
14:38I was about to turn it off when I saw it was my mom.
14:43Two days later, I was at my desk at the office,
14:46organizing some data files,
14:47when the glass door swung open.
14:49Two police officers walked in.
14:51The entire office went dead silent.
14:53We're looking for Evelyn Miller.
14:55That's me.
14:56Is there a problem, officers?
14:59Officers!
15:00She stole our car!
15:02No, no.
15:03We have security footage from the apartment complex.
15:07It clearly shows her driving it away early in the morning.
15:12Eve, stop this comb with us right now.
15:15Hand over the money from the car sale,
15:17and we'll forgive you for this.
15:18I felt my face flush, not from the fading bruise.
15:22The vehicle in question is my sole personal property.
15:25It was purchased fully in cash by my parents prior to my marriage,
15:28and the title was registered exclusively under my name.
15:31I drove it away using my spare key.
15:33The vehicle was legally sold,
15:35and the title transferred at the DMV two days ago.
15:37All the documentation is on record.
15:41You claim the vehicle belonged to your family.
15:43Do you have any proof of ownership?
15:45Whose name was on the title?
15:47She married into our family.
15:49Of course the car belongs to us.
15:51Whatever she owns is ours.
15:53Is that so hard to understand?
15:55Officers, she's my wife.
15:57In a marriage, assets are shared.
16:00She sold a major asset without my consent.
16:03That has to be illegal, right?
16:05You need to talk some sense into her.
16:08What do you think the police do?
16:13You think we're marriage counselors?
16:16You filed a false report for a stolen vehicle?
16:20Do you understand that wasting police resources is a crime?
16:24Martha's bravado instantly deflated, but she still tried to argue.
16:28Maybe you made a mistake, but if she hadn't acted like a thief,
16:30would we have called you?
16:31Just arrest her.
16:33She started all this.
16:34I had reached my absolute limit.
16:38Officers, I'm sorry you were dragged out here for this.
16:41I think the situation is clear.
16:43I am at my place of employment, and these people are causing a disturbance.
16:48Could you please escort them out?
16:50We will handle this.
16:52The situation is clear.
16:53This is a civil matter, and we have no jurisdiction over property disputes.
16:57But you are not allowed to harass her at her workplace.
17:01Ms. Miller, if they return, call 911 immediately, and they will be arrested for trespassing.
17:07Officers!
17:08You can't just let her get away with this!
17:10She's clearly in the wrong!
17:12Jason grabbed his mother's arm, finally realizing they were inches away from being put in handcuffs.
17:17Bitch.
17:18The venom in his voice was palpable.
17:20The younger officer shot him a warning glare, and Jason immediately shut his mouth, pulling Martha out of the office
17:26in disgrace.
17:29The peace lasted exactly two days.
17:32I was in my hotel room packing my bags when someone pounded on the door.
17:35I found two different police officers standing in the hallway, followed by a massive crowd.
17:40It was Jason, Arthur, Martha, Kate, holding Mason, and Mia.
17:45Every single one of them was carrying duffel bags and suitcases.
17:48They looked like they were moving in.
17:50The officer held up his badge.
17:54Are you Evelyn Miller?
17:56Your husband, Jason Davis, reported you missing for over 48 hours.
18:00Before I could even get a word out, Kate shoved past the officers with Mason on her hip and a
18:04massive Ikea bag slung over her shoulder.
18:05Oh, you okay? Oh, thank God we found you. We were worried sick. Thank you so much, officers.
18:13The moment she crossed the threshold, she started evaluating the hotel suite, the living area, the bedroom, the balcony.
18:20She looked like a real estate agent inspecting a property.
18:23No wonder you didn't want to come home. Look at you, living in luxury. A massive suite, all to yourself.
18:31You really know how to enjoy life, don't you?
18:35Mia and Martha squeezed past the cops as if they were invisible.
18:38Mia pointed at the primary bedroom.
18:40Mom, I want this room. It has the best lighting. It's perfect for me.
18:45Of course, sweetheart. You have great taste. The best room is yours.
18:51Kate wasn't about to lose out.
18:54Mason and I will take this one. It's closer to the bathroom. Perfect for when he needs to go at
18:59night.
19:00The two officers stood in the doorway, completely baffled by the sheer audacity unfolding before them.
19:05One of them turned to me.
19:07Ma'am, who are these people? Are you sure this man is your husband?
19:11Because this does not look like a missing person situation.
19:15Jason quickly stepped forward, putting on his best concerned husband face.
19:19Thank you, officers. Yes, I'm her husband.
19:22I'm just so relieved she's safe. I was terrified something happened to her.
19:27Watching him feign concern made my stomach churn.
19:30I looked at the officers.
19:32I am not a missing person.
19:33I have been staying at this hotel for days, all under my own credit card.
19:37I went to the DMV. I went to work.
19:39I am currently in the middle of filing for a divorce from this man.
19:43He filed a false missing person report to use the police to track down my location.
19:50Officers, you have to listen to me. I genuinely couldn't find her.
19:53Her phone was off. She wouldn't answer anyone.
19:55I was genuinely concerned for her safety.
19:57How is that a false report?
19:59Martha spat on the carpet.
20:02Worried about you? We wished you died in a ditch!
20:05You vindictive bitch!
20:06You cancelled the lease and told the landlord to kick us out!
20:09If it weren't for that, the Davis family wouldn't have wasted a second looking for trash like you!
20:14You think we want to be in this overpriced hotel?
20:17Well, you couldn't pay me to stay here!
20:19You're a disgrace to our family!
20:21Kate put on a fake, patronizing smile and reached for my arm.
20:24Eve, let me give you some advice.
20:26When a woman gets married, she needs to act like a wife.
20:30Running away from home and disrespecting your in-laws over a tiny disiscurient
20:35is not how a good woman behaves.
20:38The officers had seen enough.
20:39Their expressions shifted from confusion to deep irritation.
20:43But before they could act, Arthur wandered out of the kitchenette.
20:46He had poured himself a cup of the complimentary dark roast coffee.
20:49He took a sip, made a face of utter disgust, and spat it right back into the mug.
20:54This American slub tastes like dirty dishwater.
20:56You have absolutely no taste.
20:58Go down to Whole Foods right now and buy me some premium imported loose leaf tea.
21:03The expensive kind.
21:06Suddenly, a voice roared from the hallway.
21:08Get your hands off my daughter!
21:10Jason!
21:12My dad burst through the door, chest heaving, his face red with fury.
21:16He had sprinted up the stairs.
21:18These are the parasites that have been leeching off my daughter!
21:22That animal beat her!
21:23The handprint is barely faded!
21:27She's divorcing him because he's an abusive piece of garbage!
21:31Oh, Mr. Miller!
21:33You need to control your daughter!
21:35Look at how she's torturing our family!
21:40She's tearing a happy home apart over nothing!
21:44The older officer turned a hard glare on Jason.
21:46Is that true?
21:48Did you assault her?
21:49It was just a heated argument.
21:50I lost control for a second and slapped her.
21:53Just once.
21:54Officers, we normally have a great relationship.
21:57It was a one-time thing.
21:58A slap is domestic violence.
22:00Period.
22:00You couldn't reach her, so you filed a missing person report
22:03to exploit police resources to track down your victim.
22:06Do you understand the severity of what you've done?
22:08Officers, I swear I didn't know where she was.
22:10Please don't arrest me.
22:12I won't cause any more trouble, I promise.
22:14I'm not arresting you today.
22:16But you and your entire family
22:18are going to pack up your bags
22:20and leave this room immediately.
22:23You are trespassing.
22:25You can't do that!
22:29She is my daughter-in-law!
22:31We are family!
22:33It is completely legal for us to stay in her hotel room!
22:37Fine.
22:38If you won't leave, I will.
22:41As we passed through the living area,
22:42I caught Mia shoving my $300 La Mare face cream
22:45into her purse, muttering,
22:46Always wanted to try this brand.
22:48Without a word,
22:49I snatched the jar right out of her hands.
22:51I then pulled my expensive AirPods out of Mason's mouth,
22:54where he had been chewing on them.
22:55As for the coffee Arthur spat in,
22:57I left it.
22:59We're leaving.
23:01Marrying into this family
23:02was the worst mistake of your life, Eve,
23:04but it ends today.
23:05Where do you think you're going?
23:07You owe us!
23:08We let you eat our food
23:09and live in our home
23:10and this is how you repay us?
23:12Pay the hotel bill before you go
23:13so you don't burden us!
23:14My dad looked like he was going to explode.
23:19You want her to pay for your hotel stay?
23:21How about you pay her back
23:22for the car you destroyed first?
23:24Because she sold the car,
23:26I had to take Ubers to work.
23:28I didn't pass my internship probation
23:29and I got fired!
23:31She owes me compensation for my lost income!
23:34And Mason caught a cold
23:35because I had to ride my e-bike in the wind!
23:39I want you to pay his medical bills!
23:43Enough!
23:44Are you people completely delusional?
23:47Does this woman owe you her life
23:49just because she married your son?
23:51You didn't fail your probation because of Ubers.
23:53You failed because you spent your entire day
23:55flirting with senior executives
23:57who were disgusted by you.
23:58My alumni friend who got you the job
24:00was so humiliated,
24:01he almost cut ties with me entirely.
24:03What do you know?
24:04You're just a corporate drone
24:06who never got promoted!
24:07You're a loser!
24:09I ignored her completely
24:10and pulled my suitcase toward the door.
24:12The officer stepped in,
24:14physically blocking the Davis family
24:16from following me.
24:17The subject has been located and is safe.
24:20If you continue to harass her,
24:22you will all be arrested
24:23for stalking and harassment.
24:25She is my daughter-in-law!
24:26She's abandoning us in this hotel
24:28without paying the bill!
24:29If you're going to stop me
24:30from making her pay,
24:31then you pay for the room!
24:33Ma'am,
24:34if you don't leave this property right now,
24:36I'll be happy to offer you
24:37a free room down at the county jail.
24:41After that pathetic standoff,
24:43they didn't dare try to follow me.
24:44The threat of jail time
24:46from the officers
24:46finally terrified them into submission.
24:48Besides,
24:49the hotel was $300 a night.
24:52Their sheer entitlement
24:53couldn't magically produce
24:54the funds to stay there.
24:55By then,
24:56Jason had been fired from his job.
24:58He had coasted for years,
25:00using my salary
25:00to maintain the illusion
25:01that he was the breadwinner.
25:02When he tried to use
25:04my debit card
25:04to put down a deposit
25:05on a new apartment,
25:06he found the account
25:07completely frozen.
25:08His credit cards
25:09were maxed out,
25:10his phone flooded
25:11with calls from debt collectors.
25:12He sent out dozens of resumes.
25:14But as a middle-aged man
25:16with a massive gap
25:16in his employment history,
25:18nobody wanted him.
25:19He eventually had to settle
25:20for a low-level data entry job
25:22at a tiny logistics company,
25:23making a fraction
25:24of his old salary.
25:25Arthur and Martha
25:26showed him zero sympathy.
25:27Every night at the dinner table,
25:29they berated him
25:30for being a failure
25:30and demanded he go beg
25:31that ungrateful bitch
25:32to come back
25:33and fund their lifestyle.
25:35Mia,
25:35completely unemployable,
25:37resorted to becoming
25:38a Twitch streamer.
25:39She wore tight,
25:40revealing tank tops
25:41and spent her nights
25:42begging the camera.
25:45Hey boys,
25:46don't forget to subscribe,
25:47drop some tips
25:48for your favorite girl.
25:49She barely made a dime.
25:51Mostly,
25:52she just endured crude,
25:54degrading comments
25:55from anonymous men.
25:56It was humiliating,
25:57but it was the only way
25:58she could afford
25:59her phone bill.
25:59All six of them
26:00were now crammed
26:01into a tiny,
26:02rent-down two-bedroom apartment
26:04in a bad neighborhood.
26:05The air was thick
26:06with constant,
26:07suffocating resentment.
26:08Kate,
26:09curious of having to watch
26:10Mia parade around
26:11the living room
26:11and practically nothing,
26:13finally snapped.
26:14Mia,
26:14put some clothes on!
26:16Mason is in the room!
26:17You're gonna traumatize my son!
26:21Stressed about her lack of viewers,
26:23Mia exploded.
26:25You're just an outsider!
26:26Who the hell
26:27do you think you are?
26:29If you don't like it,
26:30get the fuck out!
26:31My brother pays the rent!
26:33This is a Davis household!
26:35You don't get to give orders here!
26:36Kate grabbed Mason,
26:38threatening to leave,
26:39but Martha immediately
26:40blocked the door.
26:41You can pack your bags
26:43and get the hell out,
26:44but the Davis family grandson
26:46stays here!
26:48Trapped in a room
26:48filled with monsters,
26:50Kate realized
26:50she had nowhere to go.
26:51In that tiny,
26:53claustrophobic apartment,
26:54the background noise
26:55was a constant symphony
26:56of crying children,
26:57screaming matches
26:58over unpaid utility bills
26:59and vicious insults.
27:01They would never know
27:02a day of peace again.
27:03The last time I saw Jason
27:04was on the steps
27:05of the county courthouse.
27:06It was the final mediation
27:07before the divorce
27:08was finalized.
27:09In just a few months,
27:11he looked like he had
27:12aged 10 years.
27:13His hair was thinning
27:14and graying,
27:14and his cheap suit
27:15hung loosely on his frame.
27:16He blocked my path,
27:18his eyes filled
27:19with desperate regret.
27:20Are you really gonna do this?
27:22Does our time together
27:24mean absolutely nothing to you?
27:25Aren't you taking this
27:26a little too far?
27:28I stopped,
27:29looked him up and down,
27:30and smiled.
27:31A genuine,
27:32radiant smile.
27:33No, I'm not
27:34because my real life
27:35is finally starting
27:36and the best part is
27:39you won't be in it.
