His Debt, My Son’S Life
Category
🎥
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 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.
00:56Silas, 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's.
02:25Your heart can't take it.
02:27Valerie, 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
03:01to 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,
03:10and you'll have enough for your son's surgery.
03:11If you're coming, better do it fast.
03:16In the past, even if my organs were crushed,
03:18I would always sign up for it.
03:20The 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
03:28sent by the manager.
03:29The morgue was freezing,
03:30and Finn never liked the cold.
03:32He must be suffering.
03:34Can 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.
04:10Yeah, 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.
04:30Get out of my way!
04:32But Silas didn't even look at me.
04:34He just ran past.
04:35In a panic,
04:36he shouted at the doctor.
04:38Dr. Lewis, check on Lily!
04:40Now!
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?
05:10Don'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!
05:43After Finn passed away, I held him till his body began to turn.
05:48Yeah!
05:49Of course I stink!
05:51That's exactly your son's!
05:53Dr. Silas?
05:54Aren't you off today?
05:56What are you here for?
05:59And this is...
06:01For years, Silas claimed that at the hospital, he needed to stay professional.
06:06Besides, if the staff knew he had a son, and he was so close with Lily, rumors 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, I 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, my scars, and my son's life!
06:59But before I could even touch her, he sent 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, Silas swung a heavy palm across my face.
07:11Making me dizzy, Silas carefully scooped Lily into his arms.
07:15Valerie, you know Lily has heart problems, and you still tried to hurt her?
07:19Sure, she has heart problems.
07:21Then what about my Finn?
07:24Does 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 stood out of my pocket, and Silas saw the payment confirmation from the cemetery
07:39popping 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, holding 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, I'll make it up to you and Finn.
08:03I thought of him for the last two years.
08:04Finn's been tortured by his heart condition.
08:06But he was always so optimistic, trying to comfort me.
08:11It's okay, Mommy.
08:13Don't be sad.
08:16Daddy is a superhero doctor.
08:19He'll make me all better.
08:21He trusted Silas so much.
08:23But Silas never came even after he passed.
08:25I spat out a mouthful of blood, the bitterness coating my tongue.
08:28I just bought some painkillers and 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, the card declined again.
08:38Sir, please, just try one more time.
08:44Simus, pay for Lily's treatment as you like, but 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, forcing 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.
09:05Both of you.
09:05If you're so desperate for money, when 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.
09:13I never thought the underground boxing manager would reach out to him.
09:19Silas, if I go back there, I'll die.
09:21I 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, Silas could care so much for a friend,
09:29but give zero shits about his wife and son, not even if we're dead or alive.
09:33I'm begging you, please.
09:35I really can't go back there.
09:38Just 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.
09:45I hung up, relieved.
09:47Now I could finally buy Finn a plot.
09:49But I waited for morning until dusk, and 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 and told me to pick you up.
10:04You'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.
10:16I'm coming.
10:16I asked how much I'd get besides the deposit.
10:19The manager gave me a number.
10:20It wasn't enough for two burial spots.
10:23It was only enough for one.
10:25Fine.
10:26I'll use this broken body of mine to 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 like sledgehammers, hitting my nose, my forehead, my chest.
10:56I could hear the dull thought of my green bones shattering.
10:59But I didn't want to dodge.
11:00Not even once.
11:02Finn is still waiting for me.
11:03He's already gone, I 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, asking if I was still okay.
11:15Pay me.
11:20I wiped the blood from my face, and bought the smallest burial plot.
11:23The paperwork went fast.
11:25I sent Finn into the incinerator, watched him turn into a handful of ash.
11:30Silas's 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.
11:54Come to the hospital tonight, and we'll bring it to him together.
11:57Okay?
12:00At the end of the voice note, Lily'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, I hugged the headstone.
12:17My body felt heavier and heavier.
12:19My eyes slowly shut.
12:22Finn, even though I couldn't afford a grave next to you,
12:26if I hold you like this,
12:29Mommy 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, we signed a death waiver.
12:54If she dies, you 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, Silas received an unknown call from the cemetery.
13:16Mr. Silas, I 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, she was bleeding everywhere.
13:27The blood on the ground was already dry.
13:31Are you sure?
13:34That's Valerie and Finn?
13:36Where are they now?
13:37That's impossible.
13:38She was arguing on the phone this morning,
13:40and I had hired a caregiver for Finn.
13:42They 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 and brought out the whole drama.
13:54She's definitely just acting out because 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.
14:09She had bribed Finn's caregiver long ago,
14:12telling them never to report anything about Finn.
14:25Lily's words dragged Silas back into their childhood memory.
14:28They were neighbors, besties.
14:30When they were five,
14:32they wandered off and were caught by human traffickers.
14:35Silas was crying nonstop,
14:37angered the traffickers.
14:39As he was taking punches,
14:40Lily had shielded him,
14:42getting dragged away to 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,
14:51I want to go confirm it for my own peace of mind.
14:53If it turns out fake,
14:54I'll teach Valerie a lesson this is-
14:56We know Mativ Medik and you know her.
14:58If you go,
14:59aren't you just right into her hands and humiliating me?
15:01I know I'm a burden you if you want to deal with me anymore.
15:04Seeing Lily's downcast face,
15:05Silas stopped insisting.
15:07But a nameless fury burned in his chest.
15:10Don't be silly,
15:11Lils.
15:11I'll never leave you behind.
15:13But I have to perform the surgery for him soon.
15:17Valerie works hard to make money,
15:19and Finn's condition can'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 to deal the quits to the people?
15:33Just figure it out to Bilsings.
15:40The cemetery staff had no choice.
15:42They sent my cold,
15:43unrecognizable body to the crematorium.
15:47My ashes were stored away in a freezer at the crematorium,
15:51unclaimed.
15:52After the cremation,
15:53I felt light.
15:54It was as if my soul had finally clawed its way out from under that pile of gray ash.
15:58I didn't want to be near him,
15:59but an invisible tether dragged me back to the hospital.
16:03Right to Silas's side.
16:05I watched,
16:05numb,
16:06as Silas hovered over Lily,
16:08tending to her every whim.
16:09Everyone in this hospital knew about Silas and his childhood bestie.
16:13People gossiped.
16:14I mean,
16:14who treats it just a friend like that?
16:17Silas kept his face a mask of calm.
16:19Yet,
16:20I could see the cracks.
16:21He was restless.
16:23Ever since that phone call,
16:24he'd been desperate for Lily to stabilize so he could leave.
16:27The moment he turned to go,
16:29Lily grabbed him from behind,
16:30her arms locking around his waist.
16:34Simus,
16:35please.
16:37Don't go.
16:38We've known each other for 20 years.
16:40Don't tell me I'm just a friend to you.
16:42I don't believe it.
16:43You've been so good to me.
16:44You're telling me there's nothing else,
16:45no other feelings at all?
16:47I'm ready,
16:48Silas.
16:48I'll even love Finn like he's my own son.
16:54Lily,
16:55enough.
16:57All these years,
16:58it's only ever been friendship.
16:59And guilt.
17:01Don't,
17:02don't ever say something like that again.
17:04If Valeria and Finn heard,
17:06they'd be devastated.
17:07Hearing that made my soul scream.
17:08Now he's worried about us being devastated?
17:11Silas shoves Lily aside,
17:12his fingers fumbling with his phone as he tried to call me,
17:15like he couldn't wait to see me.
17:17The phone you dialed.
17:18The call didn't go through.
17:19He sighed,
17:20assuming I was still just holding a grudge,
17:22and shot off a string of texts instead.
17:25Seeing those words,
17:26I trembled with pure,
17:27cold rage.
17:29We had a chance to be a family.
17:30He didn't lose it,
17:31he executed it.
17:33Silas hurried to 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 to buy a cake,
17:43a fancy berry chantilly,
17:44Finn's favorite.
17:45He remembered that when Finn was stuck in the hospital,
17:47his taste buds were so dull from the meds.
17:49Looking at that perfect cake.
17:51I felt a wave of nausea.
17:52Finn's last birthday was spent in a hospital bed.
17:54He had picked out that exact cake
17:56and begged his dad to bring it.
17:57He waited for hours,
17:58staring at the door until his eyes grew heavy.
18:00But Silas never showed.
18:02He didn't even pick up the phone,
18:03when Silas finally showed up that night.
18:06His hands were empty.
18:07He'd gotten a call saying,
18:08Lily was feeling bad.
18:09So he went to her,
18:10and he'd given her our son's birthday cake
18:12to cheer her up.
18:39He went to her,
18:42and he'd given her his face to be open.
18:42And he was feeling bad.
18:44When Finn cried, Silas called him a spoiled, selfish brat
18:47But I lunged at him, trying to slap the stupid box out of his hands
18:57But I passed right through him like a cold draft
18:59Silas walked into the room with cake, wearing a practiced, apologetic smile
19:03His son was gone
19:04In his place sat an old man hooked up to when 4.Silas froze
19:08His eyes scanned the room, searching for Finn who wasn't there
19:12Where is he, the little boy?
19:15The one with the heart condition, where's Finn?
19:17You mean little Finn, who are you to him?
19:19That poor kid, his mom ran out of money for the surgery
19:23He had an attack a few days back and, well, he didn't make it
19:27Such a shame
19:43He was finally coming home
19:45He was 저ая he had a very little girl
19:50He got out from where he did
19:52He didn't make it
19:52He ran into there
19:53I just bet he was everything
19:57He ran too far
20:00He ran few seconds
20:06He ran into the baby
20:06There was a bike
20:06He killed one of my brothers
20:09That hurt her
20:21Oh

20:57dr silas why would we is was the boy a relative of yours i watched the blank
21:04hollow panic wash over silas's face
21:12i knew what was hitting him he'd made it a rule no one in this hospital can know finn as
21:16my son
21:17he didn't want the gossip dot he 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 but silas lunged silas grabbed
21:38her by the collar and slammed her against the wall i paid you a fortune why didn't you call me
21:45when
21:45my son was dying his fist slammed into the nurse blood spurted from her nose staining his white
21:51coat why dr silas stop it wasn't my fault it 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
22:03she paid me to stay quiet and stop bothering you about him silas's hand went limp he let go of
22:11the nurse and she collapsed sobbing then he started to hit himself it's all my fault
22:19everyone in the department stared at him like he'd lost his mind silas grabbed his feet
22:24his boots were made of lead what a performance
22:30and stumbled toward lily's ward
22:34but just as he reached for the handle he saw someone inside he never expected
22:39lily's father a deadbeat drunk who hadn't shown his face in years
22:49you're useless can't even keep a man on a leash i'm telling you now if he's not footing the bill
22:55i ain't got a dime for this fancy treatment of yours you've got a beggar's wallet and a queen's
23:01medical bills when you were sick as a kid who'd you think saved you me i staged that kidnapping so
23:10the wealthy simos family would feel guilty enough to act as your personal bank
23:14you'd be dead in a ditch if i hadn't made him believe you took a beating for their son
23:19i earned this necklace
23:22it was all a lie no one ever kidnapped him she 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 a lie
23:37i'm sorry
23:42all because of a lie it cost me my life and it murdered my son i screamed i wanted to
23:48tear silas
23:49apart to fly in there and choke the life out of lily right now i lunged at them passing right
23:54through silas's body and a gust swept out of me it shoved the door wide open inside lily was still
23:59grappling with her father she froze staring straight into silas's furious bloodshot eyes
24:12silas it's just my dad he he came to check on me
24:15i heard everything don't you dare you hit me in a hospital you're going straight to jail i'm telling
24:20you
24:28simus stop that's enough you're gonna kill him
24:32get off me you lying bitch give me my valerie back give 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 i don't know how long it went on
24:47he 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 you and mrs valerie were indeed legally married
24:58please come and collect her ashes as soon as possible
25:17how did she die
25:19forensic 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 she'd been working as a human punching bag
25:40to
25:41make extra cash she signed the waiver so legally the underground gym is a liar
25:54if i go back there i'll die simus
25:58please i'm really gonna die
26:03it was me oh god it was all me valerie
26:07baby please i'm sorry i messed up
26:10i'm so so sorry come back okay just just come back
26:14why didn't i see it how could i be so blind why didn't i notice you were sick
26:20and the money finn's surgery money how could i take it
26:23he could have seen it anytime the bruises on my skin that never went away
26:28the way i'd flinch if he even touched me because every touch hurt like hell
26:32and finn silas was one of the best heart surgeons
26:34but his own son never gave him a real checkup
26:37he just watched while finn's body wasted away day by day
26:40he had every chance but his eyes were always always on lily
27:00where's my son
27:01he rasped clutching my urn he walked when he saw our boy's face on the headstone
27:05he broke down crying again
27:12his fingers brushed over the stone over and over like he was patting finn's cheek
27:16that he cried until his voice went completely raw that i felt
27:18sick to my bones
27:20our boy waited for him until he drew his last breath
27:23what good is regret now don't you dare touch finn's grave
27:26you'll only taint his peace silas held a funeral for finn and me our photos stood front and center in
27:31the morning
27:32hall silas looked like a ghost he didn't move an inch
27:34just knelt there the 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
27:40thinking how pointless it all was
27:42cause if it worked
27:43i wouldn't stuck here
27:44tied to him
27:45i 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 dot oh
27:53now money's no problem dot if only that money had gone to finn's doctors back then
27:56he bought a double burial spot
27:58moved finn in
27:59and placed me right beside him
28:00i was so happy
28:01i got to be with finn again
28:03the only annoying thing
28:05silas clung to our
28:06headstone 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 knocked 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
28:23miss lily's account is out of funds
28:26please send payment 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
28:50after 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
29:01what a joke
29:02he 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
29:09lily 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
29:26yeah 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
29:36lily 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 and dragged her forward
29:50i'm not going
29:51let me go
29:53lily fought him every step of the way
29:55but 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
30:15i played like a fiddle
30:16you 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
30:26the 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
30:39it's happening
30:41i'm gonna die
30:43please let me go
30:44i was wrong
30:44i'll apologize
30:45he 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
30:54she was gone
30:55silas 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
31:08and finn touching his face
31:09he pulled out a scalpel
31:10and dragged it deep across his wrist
31:11think valerie
31:12if you won't come back to me
31:14i'll come to you
31:14we're family
31:15we're gonna stay together
31:17forever
31:17he closed his eyes slow
31:18silas bleed out right there
31:20and just like that
31:21the invisible chain that had
31:22bound my soul to his side
31:23finally 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
31:28in heaven.be just fine
31:29and we're never ever going to run into silas again
