Short filmTranscript
00:03For two years, I've been a human punching bag in kindergarten boxing.
00:06I finally saved enough money for my son, Finn's surgery.
00:10But 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 crushed my organs, I'll never make that money again.
00:21So I grabbed my boxing glove.
00:23Thanks to my bro Silas!
00:26I blew up Silas' phone, but he only picked up to lash out at me.
00:30Valerie, you were way too aggressive.
00:32Lily had a heart attack because of you.
00:34I have to stay here and help her recover.
00:35Silas, our son, Finn, is dying.
00:38I'm a doctor.
00:39I know my son's condition best.
00:41He's not that fragile.
00:42He can wait a little longer.
00:48Stop acting out, Valerie.
00:50Lily had a heart attack because you scared her that day.
00:52She's in way worse condition than Finn.
00:55You know, Finn, he has a chronic illness.
00:57He can wait a few days.
00:58Once Lil's is stable, I will find a way to cover for his surgery.
01:02When I closed my eyes, I saw Finn's face before he died, over and over again.
01:06Mommy, if Daddy comes, will it stop hurting?
01:11It's okay if it hurts, as long as Daddy comes to see me.
01:15I just want to see him one last time to fall asleep.
01:18But till Finn finally passed, Silas never showed up.
01:21It doesn't matter anymore.
01:24Your wife is causing a scene again?
01:26Seriously, what a drama queen.
01:28Yeah, yeah.
01:29Can't expect everyone to be as sweet as you, right?
01:33Just chill, Lil.
01:34Who knew he'd go along with me this much?
01:35If you really need it, I'll just have him pay you back.
01:38How dare this jerk treat you like this?
01:40I'm gonna tear into him!
01:41My tears dripped onto the screen.
01:44Every time Silas's bonus come in, it would always be borrowed by Lily for her heart condition.
01:50Silas always said he owed Lily, so whatever she asked, he agreed.
01:54That's why when I was in the past, even if my organs were crushed, I would always sign up for
01:58it.
01:58The chill from my son's body seeped into my bones.
02:01I'm not coming.
02:02Never again.
02:03I ignored the string of surprised question marks sent by the manager.
02:07The morgue was freezing, and Finn never liked the cold.
02:11He must be suffering.
02:13Can I get a blanket, please?
02:15My son is afraid of the cold.
02:19Here you go, ma'am.
02:21Let the little one leave in peace.
02:23Thanks.
02:25You should thank Dr. Silas for it.
02:27He has a friend staying here.
02:28Sure, we take good care of his friend.
02:30Dr. Silas gave every staff a gift.
02:33Even this blanket costs a few thousand.
02:35Spending that much on her, guessing she's his girlfriend.
02:40I froze for a moment, remembering how desperate I was when my son was dying.
02:43I knelt before every doctor, but still couldn't pay the surgery.
02:46My tears suddenly wouldn't stop.
02:48Yeah, thank you, Dr. Silas.
02:50Where's his dad?
02:51Why isn't he here?
02:52If his dad could have come up with the money, this poor kid wouldn't have ended up here, right?
02:57His dad is gone.
03:00Felt guilty.
03:01The nurse wanted to apologize, but didn't know what else to say.
03:04When I was signing the paperwork, I happened to run into Silas rushing past, holding Lily.
03:08Get out of my way!
03:11But Silas didn't even look at me.
03:12He just ran past.
03:14In a panic, he shouted at the doctor.
03:16Dr. Lewis, check on Lily!
03:18Now!
03:19Simus, I told you.
03:21You just bumped into someone?
03:23Go on, apologize.
03:24The doctor said I'm fine.
03:26I'm not some fragile, troubled woman.
03:30Huh.
03:30So the one you knocked into?
03:32Is your wife, Valerie?
03:37Oh, come on, Valerie.
03:39Silas barely touched you.
03:41How did you end up on the floor?
03:43I asked him to take me to the doctor.
03:46And you're throwing a ten-
03:47You that hard?
03:48And here you go again with that 500k drama.
03:51My heart went ice cold.
03:53I steadied myself against the wall, trying to stand.
03:57S*** out.
03:58Valerie, you're a mess.
03:59You do smell pretty bad.
04:00How long haven't you showered?
04:01Just go home!
04:02After Finn passed away, I held him till his body began to turn.
04:07Yeah!
04:07Of course I stink!
04:09That's exactly your son's!
04:11Dr. Silas?
04:13Aren't you off today?
04:14What are you here for?
04:17Lily, rumors would fly.
04:19So, he had never mentioned me or Finn at the hospital.
04:22Oh, Lily's staying here.
04:24This is the caregiver I hired for her.
04:28What appearances?
04:29Valerie, Silas is a respected doctor here.
04:32Look at you, dressed like a beggar.
04:34A total hag.
04:35You want the whole hospital to laugh at him?
04:38For having a wife like you?
04:40Silas said nothing.
04:41Silently agreeing.
04:49That was paid by my pain, my scars, and my son's life!
04:57But before I could even touch her, he went out of the piercing screen.
05:00Silas, my high heart!
05:01It's aching so much!
05:03Please don't hit me, Valerie!
05:05Before I could even react, Silas swung a heavy palm across my face, making me dizzy.
05:10Silas carefully scooped Lily into his arms.
05:13Valerie, you know Lily has heart problems, and you still tried to hurt her?
05:18Silas frowned and shoved me hard against the wall.
05:20Valerie, what the hell is wrong with you?
05:22You're actually cursing our son to spice me?
05:25Silas rushed toward the ward, holding Lily, wailing in his arms.
05:29Tell Finn to wait for me.
05:30I'll perform the surgery myself.
05:32He's going to be perfectly fine.
05:34Listen, Valerie, once I'm through all these, I'll make it up to you and Finn.
05:37I thought that Silas never came even after he passed.
05:40I spat out a mouthful of blood, the bitterness coating my tongue.
05:43I just bought some painkillers and left the hospital to finish Finn's paperwork.
05:47I spent every cent I had to pay off the burial plots, but when the day came to pay, the
05:51card declined again.
05:52Sir, please, just try one more time.
05:59Simus, pay for Lily's treatment as you like, but use your own damn money!
06:03Give me my money back!
06:04My money is all tied up in research.
06:06You'll get yours when the bonus comes through.
06:09After what you did to Lily yesterday, forcing her back in the hospital,
06:12you actually have the nerve to ask for money?
06:14Give me my money back!
06:15Silas, are you sure you're taking that money?
06:17You better prepared for the curse.
06:18The boxing manager would reach out to him.
06:24Silas, if I go back there, I'll die.
06:26I never told Silas or Finn what I actually did for a year called me.
06:33Where the hell are you?
06:35Husband said you agreed to come back and told me to pick you up.
06:38You're the best sandbag we've got.
06:40The regulars are all asking for you.
06:42He even took a 30% deposit.
06:44If you back out now, I'll kill you.
06:49Fine, I'm coming.
06:50I asked how much I'd get besides the deposit.
06:53The manager gave me a number.
06:55It wasn't enough for two burial spots.
06:57It was only enough for one.
06:59Fine.
07:00I'll use this broken body of mine to buy Finn a decent place to rest.
07:05The client this time, was a real psycho.
07:08He didn't allow me to wear any protective gear.
07:20You better catch every punch.
07:23Dodge once, and you can kiss the money goodbye.
07:26Fists rained down like clutch hammers, hitting my nose, my forehead, my chest.
07:30I could hear the dull thought of my own bones shattering, but I didn't die.
07:34Not even once.
07:36Finn is still waiting for me.
07:37He's already gone, I won't let his soul wander alone just because of me.
07:41By the end, I couldn't feel the pain anymore.
07:45Even the manager looked at me with a hint of panic, asking if I was still okay.
07:54I wiped the blood from my face, and bought the smallest burial cloth.
07:57The paperwork went fast.
07:59I sent Finn into the incinerator, watched him turn into a handful of ash.
08:04Silas' voice messages popped up.
08:09I can take care of you both.
08:10It's been a while since I saw him.
08:12I miss him too.
08:13I bought him his favorite Lego kit.
08:17Come to the hospital tonight.
08:20I hugged the headstone.
08:21My body felt heavier and heavier.
08:23My eyes slowly shut.
08:26Finn, even though I couldn't afford a grave next to you.
08:29And it landed on us.
08:30What the hell are you talking about?
08:33You said this was just a normal part-time job.
08:36Why would she sign a death waiver?
08:38The manager didn't reply.
08:40Instead, Silas received an unknown call from the cemetery.
08:49For all these years, every time you've spent money on my treatment, or spent time with
08:53me, she always tricked you and brought out the whole drama.
08:56She's definitely just acting out because I borrowed her money so she-
08:59I miss my heart.
09:01It hurts so much.
09:03It's even worse than back then when the traffickers kicked me in the chest.
09:06Lily's words dragged Silas back into their childhood memories.
09:10They were neighbors, besties.
09:12When they were five, they wandered off and were caught by human traffickers.
09:17Silas was crying non-stop, anchored the traffickers.
09:19Aren't you just right into her hands and humiliating me?
09:22I know I'm a burden you if you want to deal with me anymore.
09:25Seeing Lily's downcast face, Silas stopped insisting.
09:28But a nameless fury burned in his chest.
09:31Don't be silly, Lils.
09:32I'll never leave you behind.
09:34But I have to perform the surgery for him soon.
09:38Valerie works hard to make money, and Finn's condition can't be delayed anymore.
09:42I must care for my own family.
09:48I don't know who you're talking about, so stop bothering me.
09:50You can't scam me.
09:51Isn't the cemetery just there to deal with the people?
09:54Just figure it out to Bill Sings.
10:01The cemetery staff had no choice.
10:03They sent my cold, unrecognizable body to the crematorium.
10:08My ashes were stored away in a freezer at the hospital knew about Silas and his childhood bestie.
10:13People gossiped.
10:14I mean, who treats it just a friend like that?
10:17Silas kept his face a mask of calm.
10:19Yet, I could tell me I'm just a friend to you.
10:22I don't believe it.
10:23You've been so good to me.
10:24You're telling me there's nothing else?
10:26No other feelings at all?
10:27I'm ready, Silas.
10:29I'll even love Finn like he's my own son.
10:34If Valeria and Finn heard, they'd be devastated.
10:37Hearing that made my soul scream.
10:39Now he's worried about us being devastated?
10:41Silas shoves Lily aside, his fingers fumbling with his phone as he tried to call me.
10:45Like he couldn't wait to see me.
10:47The phone you dialed.
10:48The call didn't go through.
10:49He sighed, assuming I was still just holding a grudge, and shot off a string of texts instead.
10:55Seeing those words, I trembled with pure, cold rage.
10:59We had a chance to be a family.
11:00He didn't lose it, he executed it.
11:03Silas hurried to his son's ward.
11:05He even stopped to buy a cake, a fancy berry chantilly, Finn's favorite.
11:08He remembered that when Finn was stuck in the hospital, his taste buds were so dull from the meds.
11:12Looking at that perfect cake.
11:14I fell the wave of nausea.Finn's last birthday was spent in a hospital bed.
11:18He had picked up that exact cake and begged his dad to bring it.
11:20He waited for hours, staring at the door until his eyes grew heavy.
11:23But Silas never showed.
11:25He didn't even pick up the phone, when Silas finally showed up that night.
11:29His hands were empty.
11:30He'd gotten a call saying Lily was feeling bad.
11:32So he went to her, and he'd given her our son's birthday cake to cheer her up.
11:45Apologetic smile.
11:46His son was gone.
11:47In his place sat an old man hooked up to when 4.Sylas froze.
11:51His eyes scanned the room, searching for Finn who wasn't there.
11:55Where is he, the little boy?
11:57The one with the heart condition.
11:59Where's Finn?
12:00You mean little Finn?
12:01Who are you to him?
12:02That poor kid.
12:03His mom ran out of money for the surgery, had an attack a few days back, and, well, he
12:08didn't make it.
12:09Such a shame.
12:34His mom ran out of money for the surgery, had an attack a few days ago.
13:09His mom ran out of money for the surgery, had an attack a few days ago.
13:10His mom ran out of money for the surgery, had an attack a few days ago.
13:32Why didn't anyone tell me?
13:35Why the hell didn't anyone tell me he was gone?!

20:19three days and silas stayed on his knees for every second of it i watched the monks chant their prayers
20:23thinking how pointless it all was because if it worked i wouldn't stuck here tied to him i want to
20:28go to finn just the sight of silas makes me sick but i'm stuck that i watched him pay the
20:33monk an
20:33absurd amount of money and i just mocked him dot oh now money's no problem dot if only that money

20:42right beside him dot i was so happy i got to be with finn again the only annoying thing silas

21:30away from
21:31finn and me as you can i don't know if he somehow heard me after kneeling a little longer he
21:35actually
21:35pulled himself up and left he knelt so long his legs went stiff he limped as he walked he rushed
21:41back to
21:42the hospital and waited for lily to wake up what a joke he puts on this whole big show of
21:47regret but the
21:48person he really cares about is still lily isn't it after a long wait lily finally woke up she stared
21:54up at silas eyes glistening with tears simus you saved me again didn't you i knew you couldn't

22:14sweet
22:14and eager to please but silas drove straight to the cemetery where finn and i were buried lily
22:20trembled in fear when she saw the cemetery gates silas didn't say a word silas why are we here he
22:28just
22:28clamped his hand around her arm like a vice and dragged her forward i'm not going let me go lily
22:37fought him every step of the way but silas's strength was terrifying when she refused to walk he didn't
22:43stop he just dragged her her knees hit the gravel and the sharp stones tore through her skin leaving a
22:48jagged red trail behind them apologize you're the one who should be on your knees you were the fool

23:07wound
23:07don't you fucking touch them the second he saw what she did he backhanded lily right across the
23:12face he slapped her again and again then kicked her flat onto the dirt right in front of our grave

23:20body was already weak my heart it's happening i'm gonna die please let me go i was wrong i'll apologize
23:28he looked at her with a terrifying hollowed out calm dot he just kept driving her face into the hard
23:32dirt
23:33again and again blood gushed down her face in streams and slowly her body went still she was
23:38gone silas didn't even panic he pulled out a rag wiped the blood off finn's and my stone then kicked
23:43lily's body aside like he was clearing away trash he leaned back against the headstone and let the
23:48summer night wind brush over him he probably thought it was me and finn touching his face he pulled out
23:52a
23:52scalpel and dragged it deep across his wrist think valerie if you won't come back to me i'll come to
