For five long years, Byron fueled his life with a single purpose: making Celeste pay for the death of his sister, Gloria. Convinced that Celeste’s betrayal led to Gloria’s tragic end behind bars, he systematically dismantled her world, turning his once-passionate love into a weapon of torture. He lived for her suffering—until the cold reality of her death shattered his conviction. With Celeste gone, the walls of his hatred crumbled, revealing a devastating truth that turned his vengeance into a lifetime of unreachable regret.

Short filmTranscript
00:10Mrs. Black, once you take the medication, the medically assisted death sequence will begin.
00:16I've given you your life back, Byron. We're even now. I hope hell's willing to take me.
00:23That way, when you reach heaven, we'll never have to see each other again. Will you mourn me when I'm
00:30gone?
00:31Why am I asking? You won't. You don't even care that I'm sick. You let me die in your heart
00:38five years ago.
00:47On the day of the accident, Gloria had been drinking for hours. And she was driving drunk.
00:56You ungrateful little bitch! All that we asked is that you tell one little lie in court for Gloria. And
01:05you couldn't even do that!
01:09Mom, stop! Don't blame Celeste. Gloria drove drunk. She killed someone. That's on her.
01:17And you know that Celeste's parents died by a drunk driver. How could you ask her to lie in court?
01:23My baby girl is going to be behind bars for three years.
01:28I never meant to hurt Gloria, but that kid was 18. I couldn't... I just couldn't lie.
01:35Don't worry. We've already paid the victim's family. Millions in compensation. They agreed to sign the letter of settlement.
01:42We'll just talk to Gloria today. Tell her to keep her head down. And she'll be out in all time.
01:47I'll apologize to Gloria. I'll make it up to her when she gets out. I promise.
01:53Mr. Black. I'm so sorry. There's been an incident. Your sister, Gloria Black, was attacked.
01:59What?
02:12She had just arrived. We don't know why the other inmates attacked her. By the time we got to her,
02:18it was too late.
02:20She didn't make it.
02:23Oh, my God. I let you kill my daughter.
02:27I should have hired better liars.
02:29Oh, my God.
02:33Mom. Dad. I swear every single person who had a hand on Gloria's death will pay.
02:45Including you.
02:46The day Gloria died in her cell was the day I was sentenced to my own personal hell.
02:54Gloria, don't blame me.
02:58Your death was the only way I could have Byron.
03:02Since the day Gloria died, my marriage to Byron has been nothing more than an empty shell.
03:10For the past five years, the only reason I'm allowed to stay in this house is to atone for destroying
03:17his family.
03:19That's her. She's the reason why Byron's baby sister is dead.
03:23Why doesn't Byron just divorce her already?
03:25How can you stand to look at that face every single day?
03:28She practically killed Gloria herself.
03:31Divorce?
03:32Look at her.
03:33She's barely alive, even now.
03:36And that Abby, by Byron's side,
03:39she's exactly what Celeste used to be when she was young.
03:43Keeping her around is just torture for her.
03:51Byron, your wife is here.
03:57Ignore her.
03:58You know that you're the most important person to me, honey.
04:04Why?
04:05Why can't I feel my hand properly?
04:07Byron,
04:09I just brought you some wine.
04:10Don't you know how to provide proper service?
04:12Hand the glass to Abby.
04:14Properly.
04:18What's wrong with me?
04:19Why is this hand shaking, too?
04:30Celeste,
04:30why would you do this to me?
04:32Do you really hate alcohol that much?
04:35Or do you just plan on destroying every woman's life who walks in here,
04:38who just wants to have a drink?
04:40I didn't spill it.
04:41Byron, please,
04:42let me explain.
04:43It was Abby.
04:44It's okay.
04:45It's okay.
04:45Please, please don't blame her.
04:47I'm not hurt.
04:48I just, I feel really bad about the dress.
04:51You gave it to me,
04:52and I really loved it.
04:53I'm sorry.
04:55Hey,
04:57old things are meant to be replaced,
04:59and I was already planning on giving you a new custom gown tonight.
05:03Why don't you go upstairs and change into it?
05:05Oh, my God.
05:06Oh, my God.
05:07I love surprises.
05:09Byron,
05:11why don't you come upstairs?
05:12I want some private time to thank you properly.
05:18Sure.
05:19I'll come with.
05:25Byron.
05:46Byron.
05:47My dress,
05:48it's still damp,
05:49and it's really cold,
05:51and it's clinging to me.
05:52Can we please,
05:54please just go upstairs?
05:57She's the one who tore this family into pieces.
06:01She doesn't deserve sympathy.
06:04You're gonna get sick.
06:06Let's go.
06:10What are you waiting for?
06:11Do you expect me to help you up?
06:13Get up on your own.
06:15Clean this mess up.
06:21What was I even hoping for?
06:24The Byron who loved me
06:27died that night, too.
06:29Watching your own husband walk away with another woman,
06:31that is beyond humiliating.
06:34If it were me,
06:35I'd find an ocean and jump in.
06:36I'd as well be dead.
06:40Come on.
06:49That's the fourth time this week.
06:53I've just been collapsing like that
06:56for no reason.
07:00Oh, my God.
07:02Why do my limbs feel so weak?
07:10I'm sorry to tell you, Celeste.
07:13You've been diagnosed with ALS,
07:16amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
07:18We need to start treatment immediately.
07:21How long do I have?
07:22If you keep up with treatment,
07:24you could live another five to ten years.
07:28But there's something you need to know.
07:32You're pregnant.
07:34About three months along.
07:37You need to make a decision, Celeste,
07:40whether to continue with pregnancy
07:42or to start treatment.
07:44Your body is already extremely weak
07:46from the pregnancy.
07:47I strongly recommend terminating it.
07:51If you continue,
07:53you won't be able to undergo
07:55ALS treatment at all.
07:56Even if your baby survives,
07:58you won't.
08:00Do you understand?
08:01My baby
08:03might be the last gift
08:05heaven ever gives me.
08:06I want this baby
08:08more than anything I've ever wanted.
08:10If you refuse treatment,
08:12your condition will progress.
08:14You will start losing
08:15control of your muscles.
08:17You won't be able to walk.
08:19You won't be able to walk.
08:21Eventually,
08:22it will feel like
08:23your mind is trapped
08:25inside a body
08:26that no longer moves.
08:27I'm refusing treatment.
08:32Your body is too weak.
08:34Terminate the pregnancy.
08:36I can't give up on this baby.
08:39I can't give up on this baby
08:40the same way I can't stop loving Byron.
08:42Even if he hates me now,
08:44he's the man who held my whole youth in his hands.
08:48The man who used to shield me.
08:51Byron,
08:51don't fight your mom.
08:53She's right.
08:54I'm not good enough for you.
08:56I'm just an orphan you took in.
08:58After graduation,
09:00I'll move out.
09:01I promise.
09:02Don't say that.
09:03I don't care what she thinks.
09:06I'm not letting anyone take you away from me.
09:08This isn't some stupid rebellion.
09:10I love you.
09:17Happy 18th birthday.
09:19I made it for you.
09:21I actually pieced it together
09:22all by myself.
09:24One by one.
09:27Pearls are made from pain.
09:29Look at them.
09:30They still shine.
09:32And so will we.
09:35Always.
09:37I promise.
09:39I will stand in between you
09:41in the world.
09:42Forever.
09:58Byron.
09:59Stop.
10:00You're drunk.
10:01You don't know what you're doing.
10:02I know exactly what I'm doing.
10:05I'm not Abby.
10:07I know exactly who you are.
10:09Now shut your mouth.
10:11Why do you keep doing this to me?
10:13Because I hate that I still love you.
10:16Because I still want you.
10:18Because you owe me.
10:44We aren't using anything.
10:47What if I get pregnant?
10:49Then we'll have the most perfect baby.
10:51Hopefully a girl.
10:52I know she'll be just as beautiful.
10:54As perfect as a mother.
11:02What if I got pregnant?
11:04Would you even want this child?
11:08We won't.
11:09People like you and me
11:11don't deserve a joy like that.
11:13You and me.
11:15You and me.
11:16We're in this hell together.
11:20Byron.
11:21There was a time
11:22when you couldn't wait
11:23for us to have a baby.
11:24But that time is gone now.
11:27Just like your love for me.
11:30Over the past month
11:31without treatment
11:32it's gotten worse
11:34faster than I imagined.
11:35my arms
11:36my legs
11:37heavier
11:38every day.
11:39And sometimes
11:40even breathing feels hard.
11:42But at least
11:43I can still speak
11:44for now.
11:45This is it ma'am.
11:47As you can see
11:48the name's already engraved.
11:49We'll just need
11:50the death date.
11:51If I'm going to die
11:52at least I can choose
11:54where I end.
11:55I just hope
11:56that one day
11:57you'll come
11:58to my funeral
11:58Byron.
12:00May I ask
12:01your relation
12:02to the deceased?
12:05Am I really
12:06starting to lose
12:07my voice?
12:11This plot
12:13is
12:16for me.
12:17It'll be
12:18perfect.
12:20May I please
12:22have a
12:22private moment?
12:24Of course.
12:36Gloria.
12:40I never
12:41meant for you
12:42to die.
12:42I thought
12:43you'd be out
12:44of prison soon.
12:45But instead
12:46I brought
12:47nothing but pain
12:48to your
12:49entire
12:50family.
12:51Byron.
12:53My husband,
12:55he.
12:58despises me.
13:00Maybe that
13:01is my
13:01punch.
13:09What are you
13:10doing?
13:14No matter
13:15what I do,
13:15Byron still
13:16won't let you
13:16go.
13:17Fine.
13:17Then I'll use
13:18Gloria one more
13:19time.
13:21Celeste!
13:21Stop it!
13:23Why are you
13:23doing this
13:24to Gloria?
13:25Celeste,
13:25why are you
13:26here?
13:29What did
13:29you do?
13:34I tried to
13:35stop her
13:36from ruining
13:36Gloria's grave
13:37and then she
13:38shoved me.
13:39Byron,
13:40you have to
13:41know,
13:41I would never
13:42do this.
13:43Gloria must be
13:44in so much pain.
13:45How fucking
13:46dare you?
13:47A glorious
13:48memorial day.
13:49Do you
13:49hate her
13:49that much?
13:50I didn't do it.
13:52It was
13:52Abbott.
13:53I didn't do
13:53anything.
13:54Why would
13:55I want to
13:55hurt Gloria?
14:03Please,
14:05trust me.
14:08The Byron
14:09who gave
14:09this
14:11would
14:12have
14:12chosen me.
14:13I used
14:14to choose
14:15you
14:15every
14:16time
14:17and that's
14:19why my baby
14:20sister is
14:20dead.
14:28You have
14:28no idea
14:29how much
14:29I regret
14:30giving you
14:30this.
14:31Byron.
14:41Celeste.
14:45Oh,
14:46Byron.
14:46My ankle.
14:48It really
14:48hurts.
14:49Take me
14:49to the
14:49hospital
14:50and I'll
14:51call someone
14:52to clean
14:52this grave
14:53up.
14:57Queen Gloria
14:58is great
14:59if you have
15:00an ounce
15:00of conscience
15:01left.
15:02My stomach.
15:03It hurts.
15:04Something's
15:05wrong.
15:10Please.
15:12You may
15:12develop
15:13difficulty
15:13breathing
15:14and gradually
15:15lose the
15:15ability to
15:16speak.
15:17My voice
15:17cold.
15:19Not now.
15:22Please
15:23save
15:24our
15:25baby.
15:26You're
15:27standing
15:27at your
15:27sister's
15:28gravesite
15:29and seeing
15:29the person
15:30who killed
15:30her cry.
15:31That still
15:32breaks you.
15:33Byron,
15:34don't betray
15:34Gloria
15:35again.
15:41Stay
15:42here.
15:43Clean
15:43Gloria's
15:44grave
15:44and then
15:45beg her
15:45for
15:45forgiveness.
15:54my baby.
15:56Please
15:57hang on.
15:59Sweetheart,
16:02don't leave me.
16:05I'm almost
16:05here.
16:11patient has
16:12ALS and
16:13has
16:13suffered
16:13a
16:13miscarriage.
16:14We need
16:15to perform
16:15emergency
16:16dilation
16:16and
16:17cure
16:17tasks
16:17now.
16:23Celeste,
16:24I'm so
16:25sorry for
16:26your loss.
16:27But now,
16:28I believe
16:29we can move
16:30forward with
16:31treatment.
16:31Dr. Lee,
16:33how long
16:33does it
16:34usually take
16:35for someone
16:36to get
16:38approved
16:38for an
16:41assisted
16:41death?
16:42Celeste,
16:43you have not
16:44reached that
16:44point with
16:45you.
16:46I'm starting
16:48to lose
16:49my voice.
16:50I don't
16:51want to
16:51live like
16:52this.
16:54It's so
16:55much pain.
16:56It would
16:57take at least
16:57three months
16:58to complete
16:59the approval
17:00process and
17:01then another
17:01week to
17:02finalize the
17:03arrangement.
17:04Three months.
17:05That's enough
17:06time to end
17:07everything with
17:08Byron.
17:11Hi.
17:16Baby,
17:17why don't you
17:18just divorce her
17:19already and
17:19marry me?
17:21Let's get
17:22one thing
17:22straight.
17:23You're only
17:24in this
17:24house to
17:26make Celeste
17:26suffer.
17:27You got
17:27it?
17:27don't get
17:28any ideas
17:28about taking
17:29her place.
17:30Do you
17:30understand?
17:33My request
17:34for an
17:34assisted death
17:35passed the
17:36committee.
17:37All that's
17:37left is
17:38Byron's
17:38informed
17:39consent.
17:40In seven
17:41days,
17:42all of this
17:42will be
17:43over.
17:44Byron,
17:45maybe my
17:45death will
17:46let you
17:46finally forgive
17:48me.
17:48And if it
17:49doesn't,
17:50at least
17:51let my
17:51death be
17:52the final
17:52closure to
17:53everything
17:54between
17:54us.
17:56Come in.
18:01Celeste,
18:01just you
18:02wait.
18:03I'll have
18:04you thrown
18:04out of

18:26renewed.
18:35Are you

18:36something

18:38Are you

19:23Of course
19:23we will.
19:25You and
19:25I are

20:03martyred your
20:04love for
20:04me.

23:09more than my own life,
23:10everything I've done
23:12to honor you
23:13as your wife

24:43to see each other
24:44again.
24:49Will you mourn me
24:50when I'm gone?
24:52Why am I asking?
24:54You are nothing.
24:55You won't.
24:56Less than nothing.
24:58You let me die
