Short filmTranscript
00:02For two years, I've been a human punching bagging under my boxing bag.
00:06I finally saved enough money for my son, Finn's surgery.
00:09But my husband, Silas, for the fifth time, just handed it over to his childhood bestie,
00:14Lily.
00:15$500,000, the exact amount for the surgery.
00:18But the last fight crashed my organs, I'll never make that money again.
00:21So I grabbed my boxing gloves, cornered Lily in the room.
00:25Give me back the money!
00:27Silas signed, unwillingly.
00:29He convinced her to give the money back to me.
00:31But on the day my son was on the emergency surgery, the payment failed, my account was
00:36empty.
00:36At the same time, Lily updated an Instagram post.
00:39Got scared by a psycho today, but this $500,000 diamond necklace hits different, thanks to
00:44my bro Silas!
00:46I blew up Silas's phone, but he only picked up to lash out at me.
00:50Valerie, you were way too aggressive.
00:52Lily had a heart attack because of you, I have to stay here and help her recover.
00:55Silas, our son, Finn, is dying!
00:58I'm a doctor, I know my son's condition best.
01:01He's not that fragile, he can wait a little longer.
01:03Once my research grant comes in, I'll take him straight into surgery.
01:06I hung up the phone calmly.
01:08With the last of my savings, I bought two plots in the same cemetery, next to each other,
01:12one for my son, and one for me.
01:14As I held my son's body, growing cold in my arms, I sent one final message to Silas.
01:19Silas, I want a divorce.
01:27Silas, I want a divorce.
01:28Stop acting out, Valerie.
01:30Lily had a heart attack because you scared her that day.
01:33She's in way worse condition than Finn.
01:35You know, Finn, he has a chronic illness.
01:37He can wait a few days.
01:39Once Lil's is stable, I will find a way to cover for his surgery.
01:42When I closed my eyes, I saw Finn's face before he died, over and over again.
01:47Mommy, if Daddy comes, will it stop hurting?
01:52It's okay if it hurts, as long as Daddy comes to see me.
01:56I just want to see him one last time to fall asleep.
01:59But till Finn finally passed, Silas never showed up.
02:02It doesn't matter anymore.
02:04Silas, for you, is Lily more important than me and our son?
02:08I owe her.
02:10Can you just try to understand me for once?
02:15Your wife is causing a scene again?
02:17Seriously, what a drama queen.
02:19Yeah, yeah.
02:20Can't expect everyone to be as sweet as you, right?
02:23Just chill, Lil.
02:25Your heart can't take it.
02:26Valerie, I just heard.
02:28Silas got that money, but he needed it for his research,
02:31so I suggested he borrow yours.
02:35Who knew he'd go along with me this much?
02:36If you really need it, I'll just have him pay you back.
02:39How dare this jerk treat you like this?
02:41I'm gonna tear into him.
02:42My tears dripped onto the screen.
02:45Every time Silas's bonus come in,
02:47it would always be borrowed by Lily for her heart condition.
02:51Silas always said he owed Lily,
02:52so whatever she asked, he agreed.
02:54That's why when our son was so ill,
02:56but I had no money to treat him.
02:58No choice.
02:59I had to go to the underground boxing
03:00to be a human punching bag.
03:03The messages from the underground boxing manager kept popping up.
03:06Valerie, a big client just came in.
03:08He hits hard, but he pays well.
03:09One hour of this, and you'll have enough for your son's surgery.
03:11If you're coming, better do it fast.
03:15In the past, even if my organs were crushed,
03:18I would always sign up for it.
03:19The chill from my son's body seeped into my bones.
03:22I'm not coming.
03:24Never again.
03:25I ignored the string of surprised question marks sent by the manager.
03:29The morgue was freezing,
03:30and Finn never liked the cold.
03:32He must be suffering.
03:33Can I get a blanket, please?
03:36My son is afraid of the cold.
03:41Here you go, ma'am.
03:42Let the little one leave in peace.
03:45Thanks.
03:46You should thank Dr. Silas for it.
03:48He has a friend staying here.
03:50Sure, we take good care of his friend.
03:52Dr. Silas gave every staff a gift.
03:54Even this blanket costs a few thousand.
03:57Spending that much on her,
03:59guessing she's his girlfriend.
04:01I froze for a moment,
04:02remembering how desperate I was when my son was dying.
04:05I knelt before every doctor,
04:06but still couldn't pay the surgery.
04:08My tears suddenly wouldn't stop.
04:09Yeah, thank you, Dr. Silas.
04:11Where's his dad?
04:12Why isn't he here?
04:14If his dad could have come up with the money,
04:16this poor kid wouldn't have ended up here, right?
04:18His dad is gone.
04:21Felt guilty.
04:22The nurse wanted to apologize,
04:24but didn't know what else to say.
04:25When I was signing the paperwork,
04:27I happened to run into Silas rushing past,
04:29holding Lily.
04:29Get out of my way!
04:32But Silas didn't even look at me.
04:34He just ran past.
04:35In a panic, he shouted at the doctor.
04:38Dr. Lewis, check on Lily!
04:39Now!
04:41Simus, I told you.
04:42You just bumped into someone?
04:44Go on, apologize.
04:45The doctor said I'm fine.
04:47I'm not some fragile, troubled woman.
04:51Huh.
04:52So the one you knocked into?
04:53Is your wife, Valerie?
04:58Oh, come on, Valerie.
05:01Silas barely touched you.
05:02How did you end up on the floor?
05:04I asked him to take me to the doctor.
05:07And you're throwing a tantrum?
05:09Don't be so petty.
05:12All right, go on.
05:14Go comfort her.
05:16Yeah, Valerie.
05:18Did I push you that hard?
05:20And here you go again with that 500k drama.
05:23My heart went ice cold.
05:24I steadied myself against the wall,
05:26trying to stand.
05:29Ew, Valerie.
05:31What's that smell on you?
05:32It stinks.
05:34Silas is working at this hospital for God's sake.
05:38Look at yourself.
05:39Valerie, you're a mess.
05:41You do smell pretty bad.
05:42How long haven't you showered?
05:43Just go home.
05:44After Finn passed away,
05:45I held him till his body began to turn.
05:48Yeah, of course I stink.
05:50That's exactly your son's.
05:53Dr. Silas, aren't you off today?
05:55What are you here for?
05:59And this is...
06:01For years, Silas claimed that at the hospital,
06:04he needed to stay professional.
06:06Besides, if the staff knew he had a son,
06:08and he was so close with Lily,
06:10rumors would fly.
06:11So, he had never mentioned me or Finn at the hospital.
06:14Oh, Lily's staying here.
06:16This is the caregiver I hired for her.
06:23Valerie, I didn't mean it.
06:25It's just that, as a doctor,
06:27I need to keep up appearances, you know?
06:29What appearances?
06:31Valerie, Silas is a respected doctor here.
06:34Look at you, dressed like a beggar.
06:36A total hag.
06:37You want the whole hospital to laugh at him?
06:40For having a wife like you?
06:41Silas said nothing, silently agreeing.
06:51That was paid by my pain,
06:53my scars,
06:54and my son's life!
06:59But before I could even touch her,
07:01I went out a piercing scream.
07:02Silas, my high heart!
07:03It's aching so much!
07:05Please don't hit me, Valerie!
07:07Before I could even react,
07:09Silas swung a heck of a palm across my face.
07:11Making me dizzy,
07:12Silas carefully scooped Lily into his arms.
07:14Valerie, you know Lily has heart problems,
07:16and you still tried to hurt her?
07:19Sure, she has heart problems.
07:21Then what about my fin?
07:23Does his heart condition not count?
07:26I wish I could punch the life out of her!
07:30Don't you dare!
07:31My scalp felt like it was tearing.
07:33I could feel the blood starting to seep out.
07:35My phone spit out of my pocket,
07:36and Silas saw the payment confirmation
07:38from the cemetery popping up.
07:43Silas frowned and shoved me hard against the wall.
07:45Valerie, what the hell is wrong with you?
07:47You're actually cursing our son to spice me?
07:50Silas rushed toward the ward,
07:52holding Lily, wailing in his arms.
07:54Tell Finn to wait for me.
07:55I'll perform the surgery myself.
07:57He's going to be perfectly fine.
07:59Listen, Valerie,
08:00once I'm through all these,
08:01I'll make it up to you and Finn.
08:02I thought about the last two years.
08:04Finn's been tortured by his heart condition.
08:06But he was always so optimistic,
08:08trying to comfort me.
08:11It's okay, Mommy.
08:12Don't be sad.
08:16Daddy is a superhero doctor.
08:21He trusted Silas so much,
08:23but Silas never came even after he passed.
08:25I spat out a mouthful of blood,
08:27the bitterness coating my tongue.
08:28I just bought some painkillers
08:30and left the hospital to finish Finn's paperwork.
08:32I spent every cent I had to pay off the burial plots,
08:35but when the day came to pay,
08:36the card declined again.
08:37Sir, please, just try one more time.
08:44Simus, pay for Lily's treatment as you like,
08:46but use your own damn money.
08:48Give me my money back.
08:50My money is all tied up in research.
08:52You'll get yours when the bonus comes through.
08:54After what you did to Lily yesterday,
08:56forcing her back in the hospital,
08:57you actually have the nerve to ask for money?
08:59Give me my money back.
09:01Silas, are you sure you're taking that money?
09:02You better prepared for the curse coming with it.
09:04Both of you.
09:05If you're so desperate for money,
09:06when your boss offered that extra shift,
09:08why did you turn it down?
09:09When he called me, I was feeling bad.
09:10I thought you were working hard.
09:11Why don't you go, huh?
09:12I froze.
09:12I never thought the underground boxing manager
09:15would reach out to him.
09:19Silas, if I go back there, I'll die.
09:22I never told Silas or Finn what I actually did for work.
09:25I didn't want them to worry,
09:26but I just didn't get it.
09:28Silas could care so much for a friend,
09:29but give zero shits about his wife and son,
09:31not even if we're dead or alive.
09:33I'm begging you, please.
09:35I really can't go back there.
09:37Just give me my money back.
09:39He went silent for a moment.
09:41Finally, he gave in.
09:43Fine.
09:44I'll transfer it to you.
09:46I hung up, relieved.
09:47Now I could finally buy Finn a plot.
09:49But I waited for morning until dusk,
09:51and the money never arrived.
09:53Instead, the boxing manager called me.
09:59Where the hell are you?
10:00Husband said you agreed to come back
10:02and told me to pick you up.
10:03You're the best sandbag we've got.
10:06The regulars are all asking for you.
10:08He even took a 30% deposit.
10:10If you back out now, I'll kill you.
10:15Fine, I'm coming.
10:16I asked how much I'd get besides the deposit.
10:19The manager gave me a number.
10:21It wasn't enough for two burial spots.
10:23It was only enough for one.
10:25Fine.
10:25I'll use this broken body of mine
10:27to buy Finn a decent place to rest.
10:31The client this time was a real psycho.
10:34He didn't allow me to wear any protective gear.
10:46You better catch every punch.
10:49Dodge once, and you can kiss the money goodbye.
10:52Fists rained down my clutch hammers,
10:54hitting my nose, my forehead, my chest.
10:56I could hear the dull front of my own bones shattering.
10:59But I didn't die.
11:00Not even once.
11:02Finn is still waiting for me.
11:03He's already gone.
11:04I won't let his soul wander alone just because of me.
11:07By the end, I couldn't feel the pain anymore.
11:10Even the manager looked at me with a hint of panic,
11:13asking if I was still okay.
11:15Pay me.
11:20I wiped the blood from my face
11:21and bought the smallest burial plot.
11:23The paperwork went fast.
11:25I sent Finn into the incinerator,
11:27watched him turn into a handful of ash.
11:29Silas' voice messages popped up.
11:35Valerie, did you go to work today?
11:37I was just pissed off by what you said earlier.
11:39That's why I agreed to your manager.
11:41If you really don't want to take that shift, it's fine.
11:43I'll cover Finn's surgery.
11:45I can take care of you both.
11:46It's been a while since I saw him.
11:48I miss him too.
11:49I bought him his favorite Lego kit.
11:53Come to the hospital tonight,
11:55and we'll bring it to him together, okay?
12:00At the end of the voice note,
12:01Lily's voice cut in with a giggle.
12:03Hey, Silas.
12:04Using your wife's money to buy me stuff again?
12:07Aren't you afraid she'll lose it on you?
12:11I held the cold urn.
12:12I gently lowered Finn's ash into the grave.
12:14Using every last ounce of my strength,
12:16I hugged the headstone.
12:17My body felt heavier and heavier.
12:19My eyes slowly shut.
12:22Finn,
12:23even though I couldn't afford a grave next to you,
12:26if I hold you like this,
12:28Mommy can stay with you forever, right?
12:37A flicker of anxiety crossed his mind,
12:39but I no longer seemed eager at the mention of him finally going to see Finn.
12:42He kept checking his phone,
12:44but the first message to arrive was from the boxing manager.
12:47Your wife wasn't right today.
12:51Look,
12:52we signed a death waiver.
12:53If she dies,
12:55you can't pin it on us.
12:57What the hell are you talking about?
13:00You said this was just a normal part-time job.
13:03Why would she sign a death waiver?
13:05The manager didn't reply.
13:07Instead,
13:08Silas received an unknown call from the cemetery.
13:16Mr. Silas,
13:17I am so sorry for your loss.
13:19We found Miss Valerie in front of her son's grave.
13:21She was hugging the headstone,
13:23but unfortunately no vital signs.
13:25When we found her,
13:26she was bleeding everywhere.
13:27The blood on the ground
13:28was already dry.
13:31Are you sure?
13:33That's Valerie and Finn?
13:36Where are they now?
13:37That's impossible.
13:38She was arguing on the phone this morning,
13:39and I had hired a caregiver for Finn.
13:41They hadn't told him a thing.
13:44Are you falling for her tricks again?
13:47For all these years,
13:48every time you've spent money on my treatment,
13:50or spent time with me,
13:51she always tricked you
13:52and brought out the whole drama.
13:54She's definitely just acting out
13:56because I borrowed her money
13:57so she's faking death to scam us.
13:59Job that beats people to death?
14:00That doesn't exist anymore.
14:02And if something really happened to Finn,
14:03the caregiver would have told you.
14:08Lily was panicking inside.
14:10She had bribed Finn's caregiver long ago,
14:12telling them never to report anything about Finn.
14:15Could that little chack actually died?
14:18Simus, my heart.
14:20It hurts so much.
14:21It's even worse than back then
14:23when the traffickers kicked me in the chest.
14:25Lily's words dragged Silas back
14:27into their childhood memories.
14:28They were neighbors, besties.
14:30When they were five,
14:32they wandered off
14:32and were caught by human traffickers.
14:35Silas was crying nonstop,
14:37angered the traffickers.
14:38As he was taking punches,
14:40Lily had shielded him,
14:41getting dragged away
14:42to take a brutal beating.
14:44I'm sorry.
14:45Ever since then,
14:46Lily's health had been poor,
14:48she developed heart conditions.
14:50But,
14:50I want to go confirm it
14:52for my own peace of mind.
14:53If it turns out fake,
14:54I'll teach Valerie a lesson this is-
14:56We know Mativ Medek
14:57and you know her.
14:58If you go,
14:58aren't you just right into her hands
15:00and humiliating me?
15:01I know I'm a burden you
15:02if you want to deal with me anymore.
15:04Seeing Lily's downcast face,
15:05Silas stopped insisting.
15:07But a nameless fury
15:08burned in his chest.
15:10Don't be silly, Lils.
15:11I'll never leave you behind.
15:13But I have to perform
15:14the surgery for him soon.
15:17Valerie works hard to make money
15:18and Finn's condition
15:19can't be delayed anymore.
15:21I must care for my own family.
15:27I don't know who you're talking about
15:28so stop bothering me.
15:29You can't scam me.
15:30Isn't the cemetery just there
15:31to deal the quits of the people?
15:33Just figure it out to Bilsings.
15:40The cemetery staff had no choice.
15:42They sent my cold,
15:43unrecognizable body
15:44to the crematorium.
15:47My ashes were stored away
15:49in a freezer at the crematorium,
15:51unclaimed.
15:52After the cremation,
15:53I felt light.
15:54It was as if my soul
15:55had finally clawed its way out
15:56from under that pile of gray ash.
15:58I didn't want to be near him,
15:59but an invisible tether
16:01dragged me back to the hospital.
16:03Right to Silas's side.
16:04I watched, numb,
16:06as Silas hovered over Lily,
16:07tending to her every whim.
16:09Everyone in this hospital
16:10knew about Silas
16:11and his childhood bestie.
16:13People gossiped.
16:13I mean, who treats
16:15it just a friend like that?
16:17Silas kept his face
16:18a mask of calm.
16:19Yet, I could see the cracks.
16:21He was restless.
16:23Ever since that phone call,
16:24he'd been desperate
16:25for Lily to stabilize
16:26so he could leave.
16:27The moment he turned to go,
16:29Lily grabbed him from behind,
16:30her arms locking around his waist.
16:34Silas, please.
16:37Don't go.
16:38We've known each other
16:39for 20 years.
16:40Don't tell me I'm just
16:41a friend to you.
16:42I don't believe it.
16:42You've been so good to me.
16:44You're telling me
16:44there's nothing else,
16:45no other feelings at all?
16:47I'm ready, Silas.
16:48I'll even love Finn
16:49like he's my own son.
16:54Lily, enough.
16:57All these years,
16:58it's only ever been friendship
16:59and guilt.
17:01Don't,
17:02don't ever say something
17:03like that again.
17:04If Valeria and Finn
17:05heard they'd be devastated.
17:07Hearing that made my soul scream.
17:08Now he's worried
17:09about us being devastated?
17:10Silas shoves Lily aside,
17:12his fingers fumbling
17:13with his phone
17:14as he tried to call me,
17:15like he couldn't wait
17:16to see me.
17:17The phone you dialed.
17:18The call didn't go through.
17:19He sighed,
17:20assuming I was still
17:21just holding a grudge
17:22and shot off
17:22a string of texts instead.
17:25Seeing those words,
17:26I trembled with pure,
17:27cold rage.
17:28We had a chance
17:29to be a family.
17:30He didn't lose it,
17:31he executed it.
17:32Silas hurried
17:33to his son's ward.
17:34He had it all figured out,
17:36if the kid was there,
17:37I'd be there too.
17:41He even stopped
17:42to buy a cake,
17:43a fancy berry chantilly,
17:44Finn's favorite.
17:45He remembered that
17:45when Finn was stuck
17:46in the hospital,
17:47his taste buds
17:48were so dull
17:48from the meds.
17:49Looking at that
17:50perfect cake,
17:51I felt a wave
17:52of nausea.
17:52Finn's last birthday
17:53was spent in a hospital bed,
17:54he had picked out
17:55that exact cake
17:56and begged his dad
17:56to bring it.
17:57He waited for hours,
17:58staring at the door
17:59until his eyes grew heavy.
18:00But Silas never showed.
18:02He didn't even
18:02pick up the phone,
18:03when Silas finally
18:04showed up that night.
18:05His hands were empty
18:06to he'd gotten a call
18:07saying Lily was feeling bad.
18:09So he went to her,
18:10and he'd given her
18:11our son's birthday cake
18:12to cheer her up.
18:44When Finn cried,
18:45Silas called him
18:46a spoiled,
18:46selfish brat.
18:54But I lunged at him,
18:55trying to slap the stupid
18:56box out of his hands,
18:57but I passed right
18:58to him like a cold draft.
18:59Silas walked into
19:00the room with cake,
19:01wearing a practiced,
19:02apologetic smile.
19:03His son was gone.
19:05In his place sat
19:06an old man hooked up
19:06to an 4.
19:07Silas froze.
19:08His eyes scanned the room,
19:10searching for Finn
19:10who wasn't there.
19:12Where is he,
19:13the little boy?
19:15The one with the heart condition.
19:16Where's Finn?
19:17You mean little Finn.
19:18Who are you to him?
19:19That poor kid.
19:20His mom ran out of money
19:22for the surgery,
19:23had an attack a few days back,
19:24and, well,
19:25he didn't make it.
19:27Such a shame.
19:49He didn't make it.
20:20He didn't make it.
20:49Why didn't anyone tell me?
20:52Why the hell did anyone tell me he was gone?
20:57Dr. Silas, why would we?
21:00Is...
21:01Was the boy a relative of yours?
21:03I watched the blank.
21:05All the panic wash over Silas' face.
21:12I knew what was hitting him.
21:14He made it a rule.
21:15No one in this hospital can know Finn is my son.
21:17He didn't want the gossip.
21:20He scrambled to his feet.
21:24Staggering down the halls looking for the private nurse he'd hired to watch over Finn,
21:27finally, way over in another building, he cornered her in another ward.
21:33The nurse took one look at his bloodshot eyes and tried to bolt.
21:36But Silas lunged.
21:37Silas grabbed her by the collar and slammed her against the wall.
21:41I paid you a fortune!
21:43Why didn't you call me when my son was dying?
21:46His fist slammed into the nurse's face.
21:48Blood spurted from her nose, staining his white coat.
21:51Why?
21:52Dr. Silas, stop!
21:53It wasn't my fault!
21:56It was that woman, the one you're always with, Lily!
21:59She said you were busy with your research and that the kid was just trying to scam you.
22:04She paid me to stay quiet and stop bothering you about him!
22:09Silas' hand went limp.
22:10He let go of the nurse and she collapsed, sobbing.
22:13Then, he started to hit himself.
22:16It's all my fault!
22:19Everyone in the department stared at him like he'd lost his mind.
22:22Silas grabbed his knee.
22:24His boots were made of lead.
22:26What a performance!
22:30And stumbled toward Lily's ward.
22:34But just as he reached for the handle,
22:36he saw someone inside he never expected, Lily's father.
22:40A deadbeat drunk who hadn't shown his face in years.
22:49You're useless.
22:50Can't even keep a man on a leash.
22:52I'm telling you now, if he's not footing the bill,
22:55I ain't got a dime for this fancy treatment of yours.
22:58You've got a beggar's wallet and a queen's medical bills.
23:04When you were sick as a kid, who'd you think saved you?
23:08Me!
23:08I staged that kidnapping so the wealthy Symos family would feel guilty enough to act as your personal bank.
23:14You'd be dead in a ditch if I hadn't made them believe you took a beating for their son!
23:19I earned this necklace!
23:22It was all a lie.
23:23No one ever kidnapped him.
23:25She didn't get a heart condition saving him.
23:28He'd spent his whole life paying for a debt that never existed, all of it.
23:32A lie.
23:36I'm sorry.
23:42All because of a lie?
23:43It cost me my life, and it murdered my son.
23:46I screamed.
23:47I wanted to tear Silas apart, to fly in there and choke the life out of Lily right now.
23:52I lunged at them, passing right through Silas's body, and a gust swept out of me.
23:56It shoved the door wide open, inside.
23:58Lily was still grappling with her father.
24:01She froze, staring straight into Silas's furious, bloodshot eyes.
24:12Silas, it's just my dad.
24:14He came to check on me.
24:15I heard everything!
24:17Don't you dare!
24:18You hit me in a hospital, you're going straight to jail, I'm telling you!
24:20You!
24:22Ah!
24:28Silas, stop!
24:29That's enough!
24:30You're gonna kill him!
24:32Get off me!
24:33You lying bitch!
24:35Give me my Valerie back!
24:37Give me my son!
24:38So all that debt, that friendship, those favors, it was just thin as paper.
24:43One gust of truth, and the whole thing blew away.
24:46I don't know how long it went on.
24:48He only stopped when Lily lay limp on the floor like a discarded rag doll.
24:51That's when his phone rang.
24:53Mr. Silas, we've confirmed the records.
24:55You and Mrs. Valerie were indeed legally married.
24:58Please come and collect her ashes as soon as possible.
25:17How did she die?
25:19Forensics says it was systemic organ failure due to years of physical trauma.
25:24On top of that, she took a severe beating the day she passed.
25:28Her body just couldn't take anymore.
25:33I don't know what kind of debt is worth that, but she literally sold her life for money.
25:37First, we thought it was a homicide, but we looked into it.
25:39She'd been working as a human punching bag to make extra cash.
25:41She signed the waiver, so legally, the underground gym isn't liable.
25:54If I go back there, I'll die, Simus.
25:59Please, I'm really gonna die.
26:03It was me.
26:04Oh God, it was all me.
26:06Valerie, baby, please.
26:08I'm sorry.
26:09I messed up.
26:10I'm so, so sorry.
26:12Come back, okay?
26:13Just, just come back.
26:15Why didn't I see it?
26:16How could I be so blind?
26:18Why didn't I notice you were sick?
26:20And the money, Finn's surgery money.
26:22How could I take it?
26:24He could have seen it.
26:25Anytime.
26:26The bruises on my skin that never went away.
26:28The way I'd flinch if he even touched me.
26:30Because every touch hurt like hell.
26:32And Finn.
26:32Silas was one of the best heart surgeons.
26:35But his own son never gave him a real checkup.
26:37He just watched while Finn's body wasted away.
26:39Day by day.
26:40He had every chance.
26:41But his eyes were always, always on Lily.
27:00Where's my son?
27:01He rasped.
27:02Clutching my urn, he walked.
27:04When he saw our boy's face on a headstone, he broke down crying again.
27:12His fingers brushed over the stone, over and over.
27:14Like he was patting Finn's cheek that he cried until his voice went completely raw that I felt.
27:19Sick to my bones.
27:20Our boy waited for him until he drew his last breath.
27:23What good is regret now?
27:24Don't you dare touch Finn's grave.
27:26You'll only taint his peace.
27:28Silas held a funeral for Finn and me.
27:30Our photos stood with a friend and center in the morning.
27:32Haul, Silas looked like a ghost.
27:33He didn't move an inch.
27:34Just knelt there.
27:35The rights dragged on for three days.
27:37And Silas stayed on his knees for every second of it.
27:39I watched the monks chant their prayers.
27:41Thinking how pointless it all was.
27:42Cause if it worked, I wouldn't stuck here.
27:44Tied to him, I want to go to Finn.
27:46Just the sight of Silas makes me sick.
27:48But I'm stuck that I watched him pay the monk an absurd amount of money.
27:51And I just mocked him.
27:52Oh, now money's no problem.
27:54If only that money had gone to Finn's doctors back then.
27:57He bought a double burial spot.
27:58Moved Finn in.
27:59And placed me right beside him.
28:00I was so happy.
28:02I got to be with Finn again.
28:03The only annoying thing?
28:05Silas clung to our.
28:06Heads down and wouldn't leave.
28:07He pressed a kiss to the cold stone.
28:09Valerie.
28:10Finn.
28:11We're a family again.
28:12We'll never be apart ever again.
28:15Lily was still in the ICU ever since Silas snapped her out.
28:18But her account ran dry pretty fast.
28:20Since Silas was still her emergency contact.
28:22The hospital called him to collect.
28:24Miss Lily's account is out of funds.
28:26Please send payments so we can continue her treatment.
28:28Silas's voice sounded like it was coming from miles away.
28:32Doesn't matter if she doesn't get treated.
28:35Just enough to wake her up.
28:38Once.
28:42He wired the money over to I stared at him.
28:44Disgust curling in my chest.
28:46Get out.
28:47Get as far away from Finn and me as you can.
28:49I don't know if he somehow heard me.
28:51After kneeling a little longer.
28:52He actually pulled himself up and left.
28:54He'd knelt so long his legs went stiff.
28:56He limped as he walked.
28:58He rushed back to the hospital.
29:00And waited for Lily to wake up.
29:02What a joke.
29:03He puts on this whole big show of regret.
29:05But the person he really cares about is still Lily.
29:07Isn't it?
29:08After a long wait.
29:10Lily finally woke up.
29:11She stared up at Silas.
29:12Eyes glistening with tears.
29:15Simus you saved me again didn't you?
29:18I knew you couldn't really abandon me.
29:20Even the favor thing was a lie.
29:22Our 20 plus years together.
29:23That's real.
29:25Silas lowered his eyes.
29:27Yeah I'm not angry anymore.
29:28I want to take you to clear your head.
29:30Lily followed him.
29:31All sweet and eager to please.
29:33But Silas drove straight to the cemetery.
29:35Where Finn and I were buried.
29:37Lily trembled in fear.
29:38When she saw the cemetery gates.
29:42Silas didn't say a word.
29:44Silas why are we here?
29:45He just clamped his hand around her arm.
29:47Like a vice.
29:48And dragged her forward.
29:50I'm not going.
29:52Let me go.
29:53Lily fought him every step of the way.
29:56But Silas's strength was terrifying.
29:58When she refused to walk.
29:59He didn't stop.
30:00He just dragged her.
30:01Her knees hit the gravel.
30:03And the sharp stones tore through her skin.
30:05Leaving a jagged red trail behind them.
30:11Apologize.
30:12You're the one who should be on your knees.
30:14You were the fool.
30:15The idiot.
30:16I played like a fiddle.
30:17You willingly handed me the money.
30:18Meant to save your own wife and son.
30:20You did it with a smile.
30:21You destroyed them for me.
30:23That kicked him right in the rawest.
30:24Most open wound.
30:25Don't you fucking touch them.
30:27The second he saw what she did.
30:28He backhanded Lily right across the face.
30:30He slapped her again and again.
30:31Then kicked her flat onto the dirt.
30:33Right in front of our grave.
30:34He wove his hand into Lily's hair.
30:35And slammed her face into the ground.
30:37Over and over.
30:37Lily's body was already weak.
30:39My heart.
30:40It's happening.
30:41I'm gonna die.
30:43Please let me go.
30:44I was wrong.
30:45I'll apologize.
30:46He looked at her with a terrifying.
30:47Hollowed out calm.
30:48He just kept driving her face into the hard dirt.
30:50Again and again.
30:51Blood gushed down her face in streams.
30:53And slowly her body went still.
30:55She was gone.
30:56Silas didn't even panic.
30:57He pulled out a rag.
30:58Wiped the blood off fins and my stone.
31:00Then kicked Lily's body aside.
31:01Like he was clearing away trash.
31:03He leaned back against the headstone.
31:05And let the summer night wind brush over him.
31:06He probably thought it was me and Finn touching his face.
31:09He pulled out a scalpel.
31:10And dragged it deep across his wrist.
31:11Finn.
31:12Valerie.
31:13If you won't come back to me I'll come to you.
31:15We're family.
31:16We're gonna stay together.
31:17Forever.
31:17He closed his eyes slow.
31:19Silas bleed out right there.
31:20And just like that.
31:21The invisible chain that had bound my soul to his side finally snapped.
31:24I didn't even glance back at him.
31:25I just went to find Finn.
31:27Finn and I are going to be just fine in heaven.be just fine.
31:29And we're never ever going to run into Silas again.
