00:00:00Mrs. Black, once you take the medication, the medically assisted death sequence will begin.
00:00:06I've given you your life back, Byron. We're even now.
00:00:11I hope hell's willing to take me. That way, when you reach heaven, we'll never have to see each other
00:00:18again.
00:00:19Will you mourn me when I'm gone? Why am I asking? You won't.
00:00:24You don't even care that I'm sick.
00:00:26You let me die in your heart five years ago.
00:00:37On the day of the accident, Gloria had been drinking for hours, and she was driving drunk.
00:00:46You ungrateful little bitch!
00:00:49All that we asked is that you tell one little lie in court for Gloria, and you couldn't even do
00:00:56that!
00:00:59Mom, stop! Don't blame Celeste. Gloria drove drunk. She killed someone. That's on her. And you know that Celeste's parents
00:01:09died by a drunk driver. How could you ask her to lie in court?
00:01:13My baby girl is going to be behind bars for three years.
00:01:18I never meant to hurt Gloria, but that kid was 18. I couldn't... I just couldn't lie.
00:01:26Don't worry. We've already paid the victim's family.
00:01:29Millions in compensation. They agreed to sign the letter of settlement.
00:01:32We'll just talk to Gloria today. Tell her to keep her head down.
00:01:36And she'll be out in all time.
00:01:37I'll apologize to Gloria. I'll make it up to her when she gets out. I promise.
00:01:43Mr. Black. I'm so sorry. There's been an incident. Your sister, Gloria Black, was attacked.
00:01:50What?
00:02:02She had just arrived. We don't know why the other inmates attacked her. By the time we got to her,
00:02:08it was too late.
00:02:10She didn't make it.
00:02:13Oh, my God. I'll let you kill my daughter.
00:02:17I should have hired better liars.
00:02:19Oh, God.
00:02:23Mom. Dad. I swear every single person who had a hand on Gloria's death will pay.
00:02:35Including you.
00:02:36The day Gloria died in her cell was the day I was sentenced to my own personal hell.
00:02:46Gloria, don't blame me. Your death was the only way I could have Byron.
00:02:52Since the day Gloria died, my marriage to Byron has been nothing more than an empty shell.
00:03:01For the past five years, the only reason I'm allowed to stay in this house is to atone for destroying
00:03:08his family.
00:03:10That's her. She's the reason why Byron's baby sister is dead.
00:03:13Why doesn't Byron just divorce her already? How can you stand to look at that face every single day?
00:03:18She practically killed Gloria herself.
00:03:21Divorce. Look at her. She's barely alive even now.
00:03:26I'm not Abby by Byron's side. She's exactly what Celeste used to be when she was young.
00:03:34Keeping her around is just torture for her.
00:03:41Byron, your wife is here.
00:03:48Ignore her. You know that you're the most important person to me, honey.
00:03:54Why? Why can't I feel my hand properly?
00:03:59Byron, I just brought you some wine.
00:04:01Don't you know how to provide proper service? Hand the glass to Abby. Properly.
00:04:08What's wrong with me? Why is this hand shaking too?
00:04:20Celeste! Why would you do this to me?
00:04:23Do you really hate alcohol that much?
00:04:25Or do you just plan on destroying every woman's life who walks in here who just wants to have a
00:04:30drink?
00:04:30I didn't spill it. Byron, please let me explain. It was Abby-
00:04:34It's okay. It's okay. Please. Please don't blame her. I'm not hurt. I just feel really bad about this.
00:04:40You gave it to me and I really loved it. I'm sorry.
00:04:45Hey. Old things are meant to be replaced.
00:04:50And I was already planning on giving you a new custom gown tonight.
00:04:54Why don't you go upstairs and change into it?
00:04:56Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I love surprises.
00:05:00Byron, why don't you come upstairs? I want some private time to thank you properly.
00:05:08Sure. I'll come with you.
00:05:15Byron.
00:05:36Byron!
00:05:37My dress...
00:05:38It's still damp and it's really cold and it's clinging to me.
00:05:43Can we please, please just go upstairs?
00:05:48She's the one who tore this family into pieces.
00:05:52She doesn't deserve sympathy.
00:05:55You're gonna get sick. Let's go.
00:06:00What are you waiting for?
00:06:02Do you expect me to help you up?
00:06:04Get up on your own. Clean this mess up.
00:06:12What was I even hoping for?
00:06:15The Byron who loved me died that night, too.
00:06:19Watching your own husband walk away with another woman?
00:06:22That is beyond humiliating.
00:06:25If it were me, I'd find an ocean and jump in.
00:06:27I'd as well be dead.
00:06:31Come on.
00:06:39That's the fourth time this week.
00:06:44I've just been collapsing like that for no reason.
00:06:51Oh, my God.
00:06:53Why do my limbs feel so weak?
00:07:01I'm sorry to tell you, Celeste.
00:07:03You've been diagnosed with ALS.
00:07:06A myotrophic lateral sclerosis.
00:07:09We need to start treatment immediately.
00:07:12How long do I have?
00:07:13If you keep up with treatment,
00:07:14you could live another five to ten years.
00:07:18But there's something you need to know.
00:07:23You're pregnant about three months along.
00:07:28You need to make a decision, Celeste.
00:07:30Whether to continue with pregnancy or to start treatment.
00:07:35Your body is already extremely weak from the pregnancy.
00:07:38I strongly recommend terminating it.
00:07:42If you continue, you won't be able to undergo ALS treatment at all.
00:07:47Even if your baby survives, you won't.
00:07:51Do you understand?
00:07:53My baby might be the last gift heaven ever gives me.
00:07:57I want this baby more than anything I've ever wanted.
00:08:01If you refuse treatment, your condition will progress.
00:08:04You will start losing control of your muscles.
00:08:08You won't be able to walk.
00:08:09You won't be able to speak.
00:08:11Eventually, it will feel like your mind is trapped inside a body that no longer moves.
00:08:19I'm refusing treatment.
00:08:23Your body is too weak.
00:08:25Terminate the pregnancy.
00:08:27I can't give up on this baby.
00:08:30The same way I can't stop loving Byron.
00:08:33Even if he hates me now,
00:08:35he's the man who held my whole youth in his hands.
00:08:39The man who used to shield me.
00:08:41Byron, don't fight your mom.
00:08:44She's right.
00:08:45I'm not good enough for you.
00:08:47I'm just an orphan you took in.
00:08:49After graduation, I'll move out.
00:08:52I promise.
00:08:53Don't say that.
00:08:54I don't care what she thinks.
00:08:57I'm not letting anyone take you away from me.
00:08:59This isn't some stupid rebellion.
00:09:01I love you.
00:09:08Happy 18th birthday.
00:09:09I made it for you.
00:09:11I actually pieced it together all by myself.
00:09:15One by one.
00:09:18Pearls are made from pain.
00:09:20Look at them.
00:09:21They still shine.
00:09:23And so will we.
00:09:26Always.
00:09:27I promise.
00:09:29I will stand in between you and the world forever.
00:09:49Byron.
00:09:50Stop.
00:09:51You're drunk.
00:09:52You don't know what you're doing.
00:09:53I know exactly what I'm doing.
00:09:56I'm not Abby.
00:09:58I know exactly who you are.
00:10:00Now shut your mouth.
00:10:02Why do you keep doing this to me?
00:10:04Because I hate that I still love you.
00:10:07Because I still want you.
00:10:08Because you owe me.
00:10:35We aren't using anything.
00:10:38What if I get pregnant?
00:10:39Then we'll have the most perfect baby.
00:10:41Hopefully a girl.
00:10:43I know she'll be just as beautiful.
00:10:45As perfect as her mother.
00:10:53What if I got pregnant?
00:10:55Would you even want this child?
00:10:59We won't.
00:11:00People like you and me don't deserve a joy like that.
00:11:04You and me.
00:11:06We're in this hell together.
00:11:11Byron.
00:11:11There was a time when you couldn't wait for us to have a baby.
00:11:15But that time is gone now.
00:11:18Just like your love for me.
00:11:21Over the past month, without treatment, it's gotten worse faster than I imagined.
00:11:26My arms, my legs, heavier every day.
00:11:30And sometimes, even breathing feels hard.
00:11:33But at least I can still speak.
00:11:35For now.
00:11:36This is it, ma'am.
00:11:38As you can see, the name's already engraved.
00:11:40We'll just need the death date.
00:11:42If I'm going to die, at least I can choose where I end.
00:11:46I just hope that one day, you'll come to my funeral, Byron.
00:11:51May I ask your relation to the deceased?
00:11:56Am I really starting to lose my voice?
00:12:02This plot is for me.
00:12:08It'll be perfect.
00:12:11May I please have a private moment?
00:12:15Of course.
00:12:30Gloria, I never meant for you to die.
00:12:33I thought you'd be out of prison soon.
00:12:36But instead, I brought nothing but pain to your entire family.
00:12:42Byron, my husband, he...
00:12:49despises me.
00:12:51Maybe that is my crush.
00:13:00What are you doing?
00:13:05No matter what I do, Byron still won't let you go.
00:13:08Fine.
00:13:08Then I'll use Gloria one more time.
00:13:12Celeste!
00:13:13Stop it!
00:13:14Why are you doing this, Gloria?
00:13:16Celeste, why are you here?
00:13:20What did you do?
00:13:25I tried to stop her from ruining Gloria's grave, and then she shoved me.
00:13:31Byron, you have to know, I would never do this.
00:13:34Gloria must be in so much pain.
00:13:36How fucking dare you!
00:13:38On Gloria's Memorial Day!
00:13:40Do you hate her that much?
00:13:41I didn't do it.
00:13:43I didn't do it.
00:13:43It was Abbie.
00:13:44I didn't do anything.
00:13:45Why would I want to hurt Gloria?
00:13:56Please, trust me.
00:13:59The Byron we gave you this purpose would have trusted me.
00:14:05I used to choose you.
00:14:07Every time.
00:14:09And that's why my baby sister is dead.
00:14:19You have no idea how much I regret giving you this.
00:14:22Okay, Byron.
00:14:32Celeste.
00:14:35Oh, Byron.
00:14:37My ankle.
00:14:39It really hurts.
00:14:40Take me to the hospital.
00:14:41No, and I'll call someone to clean this grave up.
00:14:48Clean Gloria's grave.
00:14:50If you have an ounce of conscience left.
00:14:53My stomach.
00:14:54It hurts.
00:14:56Something's wrong.
00:15:01Byron.
00:15:02Please.
00:15:03You may develop difficulty breathing, and gradually lose the ability to speak.
00:15:08My voice.
00:15:09Cold.
00:15:10Not now.
00:15:14Please save our baby.
00:15:18You're standing at your sister's gravesite, and seeing the person who killed her cry.
00:15:23That still breaks you.
00:15:25Byron, don't betray Gloria again.
00:15:33Stay here.
00:15:34Stay here.
00:15:34Clean Gloria's grave.
00:15:35And then beg her for forgiveness.
00:15:45My baby.
00:15:47Please.
00:15:49Please.
00:15:49Hang on.
00:15:51Sweetheart.
00:15:53Don't leave me.
00:15:56Mom is here.
00:16:02The patient has ALS.
00:16:04The patient has ALS and has suffered a miscarriage.
00:16:06We need to perform emergency dilation and serotonous now.
00:16:14Celeste.
00:16:16I'm so sorry for your loss.
00:16:18But now, I believe we can move forward with treatment.
00:16:22Dr. Lee, how long does it usually take for someone to get approved for an assisted death?
00:16:33Celeste, you have not reached that point with you.
00:16:37I'm starting to lose my voice.
00:16:42I don't want to live like this.
00:16:45It's so much pain.
00:16:48It would take at least three months to complete the approval process, and then another week
00:16:53to finalize the arrangements.
00:16:55Three months.
00:16:57Three months.
00:16:57That's enough time to end everything with Byron.
00:17:03Hi.
00:17:07Baby.
00:17:08Why don't you just divorce her already and marry me?
00:17:12Hm?
00:17:13Let's get one thing straight.
00:17:15You're only in this house to make Celeste suffer.
00:17:19You got it?
00:17:19Don't get any ideas about taking her place.
00:17:21Do you understand?
00:17:24My request for an assisted death passed the committee.
00:17:28All that's left is Byron's informed consent.
00:17:32In seven days, all of this will be over.
00:17:35Byron, maybe my death will let you finally forgive me.
00:17:40And if it doesn't, at least let my death be the final closure to everything between us.
00:17:47Come in.
00:17:52Celeste, just you wait.
00:17:55I'll have you thrown out of this house for good.
00:18:09What do you want?
00:18:09I have something I need you to sign.
00:18:13What is it?
00:18:14The landscaping contract.
00:18:15The termite control needs to be renewed.
00:18:27Are you hiding something from me?
00:18:30Are you hiding something from me?
00:18:33It's the standard landscaping contract.
00:18:36Just sign the form already.
00:18:39I mean, she is the most devoted maid this house has ever seen.
00:18:56My dear husband, I've served my sentence in the prison you built for me.
00:19:02My debt to you is finished.
00:19:05I don't owe you another thing.
00:19:10It's so tiny.
00:19:12Will we ever get to see its leaves turn red?
00:19:15Of course we will.
00:19:16You and I are going to be here together forever.
00:19:18And one day, even our kids will run around here collecting its red leaves.
00:19:30Baby, it's my fault I couldn't protect you.
00:19:34It's all my fault.
00:19:39Friend, please take care of my baby.
00:19:44Baby, don't be afraid.
00:19:48Mama will be there with you soon.
00:19:51Byron, I caused your sister's death.
00:19:54And murdered your love for me.
00:19:57Now, I am bearing the proof of our love.
00:20:01Our baby.
00:20:03The life we created together.
00:20:05In five days, I'll be gone from your life.
00:20:09Forever.
00:20:10Bella.
00:20:12Hi.
00:20:13Come here, Bella.
00:20:15Gloria's darling Bella.
00:20:17You're the only one in the house who forgives me.
00:20:22What are you doing with the dog?
00:20:24Isn't it bad enough that you killed her owner?
00:20:27Now you're trying to hurt this poor puppy.
00:20:32What are we?
00:20:34Don't hurt her.
00:20:35Bella is Gloria's dog.
00:20:37You don't deserve her, you bitch.
00:20:41Stop!
00:20:41Ouch!
00:20:42No, leave her alone!
00:20:43Stop it!
00:20:44Ouch!
00:20:53You stupid, stupid dog!
00:20:56Don't you know who's in charge?
00:21:01In this house, anyone who treats him less nicely is done for.
00:21:06Even a damn dog!
00:21:09Stop!
00:21:10Please, don't hurt her!
00:21:12What is going on in here?
00:21:17What is going on in here?
00:21:22Oh my God, Bella!
00:21:26Bella!
00:21:27No!
00:21:28Oh my God!
00:21:30Oh, Bella!
00:21:31Oh, Bella!
00:21:33I'm so sorry!
00:21:36Oh!
00:21:37Oh!
00:21:37Byron, Byron!
00:21:39It was last she killed Bella.
00:21:42By the time I got here, it was too late.
00:21:46You filthy little bitch!
00:21:49You took the last good thing we had of our daughter.
00:21:52I didn't.
00:21:53No!
00:21:55She said Gloria ruined her life.
00:21:59And that she hated Bella.
00:22:01And that Bella reminded her of Gloria.
00:22:03And she was going to get rid of her!
00:22:07You monster!
00:22:09Why don't you just die?
00:22:18Byron, please.
00:22:21Defend me.
00:22:22Save me.
00:22:23Please.
00:22:25Please.
00:22:25For once.
00:22:32Bella!
00:22:33Bella!
00:22:33Bella!
00:22:34I'm so sorry!
00:22:35I should've stopped her!
00:22:38I should've...
00:22:39I swear on my name as your wife.
00:22:43I would never hurt Bella.
00:22:46My wife!
00:22:47Don't make me throw up.
00:22:50You are nothing.
00:22:51Less than nothing.
00:22:53And the only reason that you are still around is because I'm not done making you suffer!
00:22:58This house.
00:22:59The home I cherished more than my own life.
00:23:03Everything I've done to honor you as your wife.
00:23:07Means nothing.
00:23:09Less than nothing.
00:23:10Mom!
00:23:11Take Bella to the vet now!
00:23:24Take Bella to the vet now!
00:23:30Your medically assisted death procedure is in three days.
00:23:34Your final confirmation is required.
00:23:38Just like you'll want, I'll be dead soon.
00:23:43Very soon.
00:23:50Goodbye, home.
00:23:52Or good.
00:23:54Goodbye, Byron.
00:23:57May our paths never cross again.
00:24:00Not in this life.
00:24:02And not in whatever comes after.
00:24:08Mrs. Black, once you take the medication, the medically assisted death sequence will begin.
00:24:15I've never been more sure.
00:24:17I will stand in between you and the world forever.
00:24:22I've given you your life back.
00:24:24Byron, we're even now.
00:24:28I hope hell's willing to take me.
00:24:31That way, when we reach heaven, we'll never have to see each other again.
00:24:41Will you mourn me when I'm gone?
00:24:44Why am I asking?
00:24:46You are nothing.
00:24:47You won't.
00:24:49Less than nothing.
00:24:50You let me die in your heart five years ago.
00:25:04You let me die in your heart five years ago.
00:25:09Time of death.
00:25:10325.
00:25:12December 2nd, 2026.
00:25:15Age 30.
00:25:24That's it.
00:25:25I'm out.
00:25:26Byron, you've wiped me out again.
00:25:28You've been winning all night.
00:25:29Looks like Abby really is your lucky star.
00:25:34Poor woman.
00:25:36All alone right to the very end.
00:25:40No family.
00:25:41Nobody by her side.
00:25:42We need to contact her next of kin so they can arrange to collect her body.
00:25:46Hey, to us.
00:25:47The sad.
00:25:48The lonely.
00:25:50The unfortunate bastards that don't have anyone to sit in their laps, right?
00:25:53We got here for ourselves.
00:25:57I really don't get it.
00:25:59If you hate Celeste so much, why don't you just divorce her?
00:26:02Marry this fine woman instead.
00:26:06Let's be clear.
00:26:07My marriage is not up for discussion.
00:26:11There will only ever be one Mrs. Black.
00:26:15And that's Celeste Rowan Black.
00:26:22Byron Black.
00:26:24Hello, Mr. Black.
00:26:25This is the Assistant Death Center calling to inform you of the passing of Celeste Black.
00:26:31You can arrange to pick up her remains.
00:26:33I'm sorry.
00:26:34Collect Celeste's remains?
00:26:38Collect Celeste's remains?
00:26:40Celeste Black named you as her next of kin.
00:26:42Your wife was a voluntary patient at the Assistant Death Center.
00:26:45The process has now been completed.
00:26:46You can pick up her remains.
00:26:48You gotta be fucking with me.
00:26:49Who is this?
00:26:50You piece of shit.
00:26:51I don't got time for your games.
00:26:54Myron, baby.
00:26:55What's wrong?
00:26:58Nothing.
00:27:02I have something I need you to sign.
00:27:10Myron, you okay?
00:27:11Is everything alright with the business?
00:27:12Someone's just fucking with me.
00:27:14It can't be she.
00:27:15It can't be.
00:27:18I might be drunk.
00:27:20I'm gonna go home.
00:27:23Byron, where are you going?
00:27:31Celeste?
00:27:32Celeste!
00:27:33Celeste!
00:27:33Where are you, Celeste?
00:27:36Answer me!
00:27:38Where are you?
00:27:40Celeste!
00:27:42If you don't answer me, I'm gonna lose my temper!
00:27:51Byron!
00:27:52Byron!
00:27:53Byron!
00:27:53Baby!
00:27:53Baby, what's wrong with you?
00:27:55Where's Celeste?
00:27:56Where is she?
00:27:57Where did she go?
00:27:59Baby, don't you remember?
00:28:01This is your room.
00:28:03Celeste has a room in the meat quarters.
00:28:06Celeste isn't here anymore.
00:28:10Byron, please.
00:28:12You're scaring me.
00:28:13You can get the fuck out of here!
00:28:16And get your ass in the maid's quarters where you belong!
00:28:19Got it?
00:28:19You lost your privilege of being Mrs. Black when you killed Gloria!
00:28:24Remember, you are nothing!
00:28:26Byron, this is so cruel.
00:28:30Go on.
00:28:31I don't want to see your ass help you ever again!
00:28:39Celeste hasn't shared a room with you in five years.
00:28:41Remember, you kicked her out.
00:28:44If you still need to talk to her, you can look for her in the morning, okay?
00:28:49Yeah.
00:28:50I kicked her out.
00:28:51She's in the maid's quarters.
00:28:53That's where she is.
00:28:54She can't go anywhere else.
00:28:56Yeah.
00:28:57Yeah, she can't go anywhere else.
00:28:59She has no money, no friends, no family.
00:29:02Without you, she won't survive.
00:29:07Byron, please, save me.

00:38:52and then we can continue with the final arrangements.
00:38:59No, this can't be.
00:39:03Celeste, I don't believe it.
00:39:05I don't...
00:39:06You can't be dead.
00:39:09Mr. Black, are you ready?
00:39:16I will stand in between you and the world.
00:39:20I love you.
00:39:33Wait.
00:39:34No, this...
00:39:36No, this is...
00:39:37This is the right drawer.
00:39:45You must think I am a real fool.
00:39:51Mr. Black, you weren't informed.
00:39:53I'm so sorry.
00:39:54I've tried to call you with the updates,
00:39:56but you never picked up the phone.
00:39:58Go on.
00:39:58Several times.
00:39:59Keep it up.
00:40:00I'm listening.
00:40:02Where is my wife's body?
00:40:06Celeste's best friend
00:40:07came in as a secondary next of kin
00:40:10and she collected her remains.
00:40:12Her best friend?
00:40:13Mr. Black,
00:40:14we're sorry,
00:40:15but after you made it very clear
00:40:17that you didn't want to come in and...
00:40:18She just left five minutes ago.
00:40:20You're still keeping the act up, huh?
00:40:23Don't bother.
00:40:24You already botched it.
00:40:25I've known Celeste since we were kids
00:40:27and not once did she mention
00:40:29a single fucking best friend.
00:40:35Employee ID number 89757.
00:40:41I want you to listen real fucking close.
00:40:45If either one of you
00:40:46keep up this whole storyline
00:40:48about my wife being dead,
00:40:50you will hear from my lawyers
00:40:52and they will grind you
00:40:54into dust
00:40:55that there will be nothing left of you
00:40:57where you need one of this...
00:40:59whatever the fuck this is!
00:41:06Got it?
00:41:12You know,
00:41:13some people can't handle
00:41:14learning the truth
00:41:15about their loved ones.
00:41:17He's probably just out of his mind
00:41:18with grief.
00:41:19That's all.
00:41:20It's just part of the job.
00:41:32Byron Black,
00:41:33you son of a bitch.
00:41:34I'm taking Celeste away from you
00:41:36and you will never, ever find her.
00:41:38Celeste,
00:41:39what's going on?
00:41:41Hey, um, Ariel.
00:41:44I'm sorry to show up
00:41:45out of the blue like this.
00:41:47I haven't seen you
00:41:48since the Blacks took you in.
00:41:50And then I heard
00:41:51that you married Byron.
00:41:53I thought you were living your dream.
00:41:56I have something
00:41:57I need to ask you.
00:41:59Something I trust
00:42:00only you can do for me.
00:42:02I'll help you
00:42:02with whatever you need.
00:42:05I'm dying.
00:42:09Aeolus.
00:42:11There's no cure.
00:42:14I don't have much time left.
00:42:17I want to leave this world
00:42:19with some dignity,
00:42:20so I...
00:42:21I applied for assisted death.
00:42:24Byron,
00:42:25he blames me
00:42:26for his sister's death.
00:42:27Every single person
00:42:29who had a hand on
00:42:29Gloria's death
00:42:30will pay,
00:42:32including you.
00:42:33He despises me.
00:42:35I know that he will not
00:42:37respect my wishes.
00:42:40I'm afraid
00:42:41that he will not
00:42:42claim my body
00:42:43after I'm gone.
00:42:46Yeah.
00:42:50Celeste.
00:42:52Everything that they did to you,
00:42:54I'm gonna make
00:42:55every single one of them pay.
00:43:06Celeste home yet?
00:43:07No, Mr. Black.
00:43:08I checked her room,
00:43:09but it's completely cleared out.
00:43:11Nothing left.
00:43:13I think she's gone for good.
00:43:15What?
00:43:16No.
00:43:17That's...
00:43:17That can't be.
00:43:18This act is over.
00:43:20She should be home.
00:43:21Now.
00:43:32Everything's gone.
00:43:33She took everything.
00:43:35Miss Rowan
00:43:36never had very much.
00:43:40We are not divorced.
00:43:41We're still married.
00:43:42You still refer to her
00:43:43as Mrs. Black.
00:43:45You're the one
00:43:45who told us, sir,
00:43:46that we weren't allowed
00:43:47to treat her
00:43:48like your wife anymore
00:43:49or call her Mrs. Black.
00:43:56Mrs. Black.
00:43:57Wait.
00:43:58It's getting cold.
00:44:00Change the sheets
00:44:01in her room
00:44:01to the thicker ones.
00:44:03I already did
00:44:04in Mrs. Black's bedroom.
00:44:06A woman who killed
00:44:07my sister
00:44:08doesn't deserve
00:44:08to be Mrs. Black.
00:44:11How many times
00:44:12do I have to tell you?
00:44:13Never call her that again.
00:44:16Yes, sir.
00:44:17I'm sorry.
00:44:27What's this?
00:44:36I teach
00:44:39ALS.
00:44:44Is this real?
00:44:49You told me
00:44:50she left nothing behind.
00:44:53I didn't see.
00:44:54What the hell is this?
00:44:55I'm sorry, sir,
00:44:56but I don't know
00:44:57what you mean.
00:45:01This is all part
00:45:02of her plan.
00:45:02It's just a massive
00:45:03game of chess.
00:45:05Celeste,
00:45:06I'm not falling for it!
00:45:08I'm not falling for it!
00:45:09You better never come back!
00:45:16What the hell
00:45:17happened to the tree?
00:45:18When did that happen?
00:45:21What the hell
00:45:22happened to the tree?
00:45:23When did that happen?
00:45:25I'm sorry, sir.
00:45:26I don't know.
00:45:27How?
00:45:27When did it die?
00:45:28I don't really know!
00:45:31Mrs. Black,
00:45:32Celeste,
00:45:32cared for that tree.
00:45:34The gardener said
00:45:35there was something
00:45:36wrong with the roots.
00:45:38It's been two years.
00:45:39The tree hasn't
00:45:40grown a bit.
00:45:41Maybe.
00:45:43It's waiting on you
00:45:44to grow a little bit, too.
00:45:46Well, maybe
00:45:47we should spend
00:45:47more time trying.
00:45:54What?
00:45:55Come on!
00:45:56What?
00:46:05You are going to be
00:46:06the best
00:46:08mother
00:46:08in the entire world.
00:46:11And I guarantee
00:46:12you are going to be
00:46:13just as beautiful
00:46:14even with a little
00:46:14baby bump.
00:46:17I love you,
00:46:18Celeste.
00:46:19I always will.
00:46:21I love you, too.
00:46:23I just remembered
00:46:25the last time
00:46:26I saw her,
00:46:27she was carrying
00:46:28a box
00:46:29and a shovel.
00:46:31I asked her
00:46:32what she was doing
00:46:33with them,
00:46:34and she said
00:46:35that it wasn't
00:46:35important.
00:46:44Who told you
00:46:45to touch that tree?
00:46:46Mr. Black,
00:46:47sir,
00:46:48the tree's dead.
00:46:49I see that.
00:46:50What happened?
00:46:51Uh, well,
00:46:52sir,
00:46:53it looks like
00:46:54someone tried
00:46:55to dig around
00:46:56the roots
00:46:56and probably
00:46:57damage them.
00:46:58The last time
00:46:59I saw her,
00:47:00she was carrying
00:47:01a box
00:47:02and a shovel.
00:47:04Out of my way.
00:47:06Go.
00:47:07off.
00:47:40Celeste was
00:47:42pregnant.
00:47:53Where are you,
00:47:54Celeste?
00:47:56I need to find you.
00:47:58I need to find you.
00:48:00I need to find you.
00:48:10Dr. Lee.
00:48:11Dr. Lee treated Celeste.
00:48:20Who are you?
00:48:22Did you help?
00:48:25Did you treat
00:48:27Celeste Black?
00:48:29Celeste Black?
00:48:30Yes,
00:48:31I remember her.
00:48:33She left
00:48:34a strong impression
00:48:35on me.
00:48:35the one with ALS
00:48:37who insisted
00:48:38on carrying
00:48:39on her pregnancy.
00:48:44The day
00:48:45she lost
00:48:45her baby
00:48:46cried so hard.
00:48:49The entire
00:48:50hallway
00:48:50can hear her.
00:49:00She was
00:49:01really pregnant?
00:49:05For that baby,
00:49:07she was willing
00:49:08to risk everything,
00:49:09including her life.
00:49:12Your body
00:49:13is already
00:49:14extremely weak
00:49:15from the pregnancy.
00:49:16I strongly
00:49:17recommend
00:49:18terminating it.
00:49:20If you continue,
00:49:21you won't be able
00:49:22to undergo
00:49:23ALS treatment
00:49:24at all.
00:49:25Even if your baby
00:49:26survives,
00:49:28you won't.
00:49:30do you
00:49:30understand?
00:49:34I want this baby
00:49:35more than anything
00:49:36I've ever wanted.
00:49:40I've advised her
00:49:42many times
00:49:43to terminate it
00:49:44and start treatment.
00:49:47She refused.
00:49:49She lost the baby
00:49:50anyway.
00:49:52She lost the baby
00:49:54anyway.
00:49:55She was broken
00:49:57and opted
00:49:58for assisted death.
00:50:02So you're saying
00:50:03she died
00:50:05for the baby?
00:50:07She refused
00:50:08treatment
00:50:09to carry
00:50:10the child?
00:50:11I've never
00:50:12met a patient
00:50:13with a more
00:50:14positive attitude.
00:50:17We all thought
00:50:18she would
00:50:18carry it
00:50:19to term.
00:50:21It was tragic.
00:50:26You're lying.
00:50:29You're a liar.
00:50:30Why would she
00:50:31risk her life
00:50:32for a kid?
00:50:34Is she not?
00:50:34Is she not?
00:50:35Is she not that stupid?
00:50:38Is she not?
00:50:39Is she not?
00:50:39Is she not that stupid?
00:50:40Calm down,
00:50:41Mr. Black.
00:50:42Please.
00:50:42I understand
00:50:43you're in pain.
00:50:46Please.
00:50:47Accept my condolences.
00:50:48Fuck your condolences.
00:50:50You were bribed.
00:50:51Huh?
00:50:52She bribed you?
00:50:54Yeah,
00:50:54she fucking bribed you.
00:50:56How much?

00:51:09the family consent

00:51:32My wife,
00:51:33she wouldn't leave me.
00:51:35She's not
00:51:36dead.
00:51:36You all are a bunch
00:51:38of fucking liars.
00:51:39Why are you
00:51:40helping her?
00:51:41Why?
00:51:42Tell me
00:51:42where

00:51:45You're all in on it.
00:51:46All of you,
00:51:47it's all part of your plan.
00:51:49How,
00:51:49how could I not know
00:51:50that my own wife
00:51:52has ALS?
00:51:53How,
00:51:54how did I not know
00:51:55that she was pregnant?
00:51:56How could she not
00:51:57tell me that?
00:51:58you all
00:51:59are fucking
00:52:00lying to me!
00:52:01Poor guy.
00:52:03His wife
00:52:04must have been
00:52:04so sick.
00:52:05He's out of his mind.
00:52:07Can you blame him?
00:52:08It sounds like
00:52:09his wife
00:52:10signed up for
00:52:11assistant death
00:52:12and didn't tell him
00:52:13about it.
00:52:14Any man would
00:52:15lose his mind
00:52:16about that.
00:52:17Right.
00:52:20Honestly,
00:52:21I don't even know
00:52:22who you're trying
00:52:23to impress
00:52:24with this little show.
00:52:25What right do you have
00:52:27to burst in here
00:52:28and treat me like this
00:52:29and pretend
00:52:31that you're grieving?
00:52:34Where were you
00:52:35when your wife
00:52:36sat in that cold chair
00:52:38alone
00:52:40getting her terminal diagnosis?
00:52:42Where were you again
00:52:45when your wife's body
00:52:46was dipped in
00:52:47day by day
00:52:48and she still came in
00:52:49for her ALS checkup
00:52:51alone?
00:52:53Where the hell were you
00:52:55when she had her
00:52:55miscarriage?
00:52:57covered in blood
00:52:58and had to be rushed in
00:53:01for emergency
00:53:02DNC surgery.
00:53:04Never mind.
00:53:05I'll tell you.
00:53:07You were not there
00:53:09for any of it.
00:53:12Not a single time.
00:53:15So tell me,
00:53:16what right do you have
00:53:19to be here
00:53:20and play the
00:53:22I love her card now?
00:53:31get him out of my sight.
00:53:34Take him to the police.
00:53:43Black.
00:53:45You've been charged
00:53:46with disorderly conduct
00:53:47at the hospital.
00:53:48Why were you
00:53:49threatening the doctor?
00:53:51My wife.
00:53:52My wife.
00:53:53She's gone.
00:53:54I can't find my wife.
00:53:56Your wife is missing?
00:53:58Yeah.
00:53:59Let's start with the name.
00:54:00Celeste Black.
00:54:02She's been missing for
00:54:04days.
00:54:06I need your help.
00:54:08I need your help.
00:54:09Black.
00:54:11Celeste.
00:54:13Found her.
00:54:19She's dead.
00:54:20It says so right here.
00:54:24She had a medically
00:54:25assisted suicide
00:54:26due to terminal ALS.
00:54:28Right here.
00:54:29See?
00:54:32You're lying.
00:54:33You're lying.
00:54:34You're lying to me,
00:54:35aren't you?
00:54:36I'm sorry.
00:54:43Look at this douchebag.
00:54:46So his wife's dead.
00:54:48So what?
00:54:51Big deal.
00:54:53He's totally losing it.
00:54:56Crying.
00:54:57Making a scene.
00:55:00Seriously,
00:55:01what's the big deal?
00:55:12Enough!
00:55:13Get down!
00:55:14Get down!
00:55:15She's not dead!
00:55:16She's not!
00:55:16She can't be dead!
00:55:18She can't be dead!
00:55:20You don't want to do this, man.
00:55:21You don't want to do this.
00:55:24I'm sorry.
00:55:24I'm sorry, Celeste.
00:55:27I'm sorry.
00:55:28I was wrong.
00:55:29Please come home.
00:55:32Please come home.
00:55:34I don't need anything else.
00:55:36I just need you to come home.
00:55:38Please.
00:55:41Please come home.
00:55:49Boss, I'm here.
00:55:50Everything's been taken care of.
00:55:52Posted bail for you.
00:55:53Let's go home.
00:55:57You haven't slept in days.
00:55:59I know you want to find Celeste,
00:56:01but you need to get home
00:56:03and get some rest.
00:56:04Just tear this city apart.
00:56:07Find Celeste
00:56:09dead
00:56:09or alive.
00:56:11I want to see her
00:56:13with my own two eyes.
00:56:14who am I?
00:56:37See you next time.
00:56:43I'll see you next time.
00:56:48Celeste?
00:56:50Celeste?
00:57:07Who's my good little girl?
00:57:09You are, you are.
00:57:12Fine, I get it.
00:57:13No wonder Bella likes her more than anyone.
00:57:16Except me.
00:57:19You're such a cutie pie.
00:57:24You miss her.
00:57:27Oh.
00:57:41The number you dialed is not in service.
00:57:49I'm going to bring her back.
00:57:52I promise you.
00:57:56I'm going to find her.
00:57:58I'm going to do whatever it takes.
00:58:00I'm going to bring her back.
00:58:09Welcome to your new home.
00:58:13What are you doing here, Abby?
00:58:14What's with all the luggage?
00:58:15Well, I told her to come.
00:58:17Now that we're rid of that horrible, deceitful Celeste, it's time for you, Byron, to do the right thing and
00:58:24make Abby your wife.
00:58:26After all, she is beautiful and has exquisite taste.
00:58:30And more importantly, we can count on her to take care of your father and I.
00:58:35Yes, yes, you're very right.
00:58:38Celeste went too far this time, disappearing without an excuse.
00:58:42Doesn't give a damn about making sure I got my meds on time.
00:58:48I'm getting worse.
00:58:50Exactly.
00:58:52And that disloyal little bitch.
00:58:54She caused problems with our family from the very beginning.
00:58:58It's much better that she's gone.
00:59:00Some good riddance.
00:59:02Baby.
00:59:03Baby, I'll make sure your dad gets his meds and that your mom has everything she needs.
00:59:08I'll take care of them.
00:59:10And I'll take care of you.
00:59:13Jesus Christ, have you guys all lost your minds?
00:59:15I'm married to Celeste.
00:59:18I still am.
00:59:20I always will be.
00:59:21Do not invite another woman into my house.
00:59:24I cannot believe you.
00:59:26How can you speak to your mother that way?
00:59:29I have news about Celeste.
00:59:31Great.
00:59:32Finally, where is she?
00:59:34Great.
00:59:35Finally, where is she?
00:59:38Oh, I knew it.
00:59:40I knew she was plotting something with her little disappearance.
00:59:45Boss.
00:59:46The doctors.
00:59:47Police.
00:59:49The staff at the assisted death center.
00:59:51None of them are actors.
00:59:53No.
00:59:53No.
00:59:54No, no, no, no, no.
00:59:55None of them lied.
00:59:57Chris, this isn't happening.
00:59:59It's all real.
01:00:00I'm so sorry, boss, but Celeste is...
01:00:03No.
01:00:04No.
01:00:04No!
01:00:05No, no, no, no.
01:00:06She's dead.
01:00:09No!
01:00:10Chris, you're wrong.
01:00:12You're wrong.
01:00:13You're wrong.
01:00:14Well, how can she be dead?
01:00:16She never even had the sniffles.
01:00:18She was never sick, ever.
01:00:20How can she be dead?
01:00:22Six months ago, Celeste was diagnosed with late-stage ALS.
01:00:26At the same time, she discovered she was pregnant.
01:00:28She had a choice, boss.
01:00:30She could get the treatment that would have extended her life a few years, at least.
01:00:35Or she could have your baby.
01:00:37She chose your child.
01:00:41That day at the cemetery, she miscarried.
01:00:44And by that time, it was too late to start treatment.
01:00:47She was already too far gone.
01:00:50So she decided to leave this world with dignity.
01:00:54She arranged for her assisted death at the center.
01:00:57The procedure is...
01:01:00It's done.
01:01:01She's gone.
01:01:04You...
01:01:05You...
01:01:05You wrote her this evening.
01:01:07Oh, boss.
01:01:08Boss, I would never lie to you.
01:01:10Besides that, during my investigation, I pulled the cemetery security footage.
01:01:17And I recovered the home surveillance that Abby deleted.
01:01:21Abby has been framing Celeste for years.
01:01:25Abby is the one who poured red paint on Gloria's grave.
01:01:30Abby is the one who hurt Bella.
01:01:36You're a goddamn liar.
01:01:39Why are you protecting her now?
01:01:43Don't you all see?
01:01:46I bet they've been sleeping together.
01:01:49That's why he's protecting her.
01:01:51Why else would he be protecting her?
01:01:53Really?
01:01:53Yeah.
01:01:54Here.
01:01:55Take a look.
01:01:56Celeste never did anything.
01:01:59Abby did.
01:02:01And that day that Abby hurt Bella,
01:02:04Celeste begged you to believe her.
01:02:07But you didn't.
01:02:08And that was the day she confirmed her appointment with the Senate.
01:02:14You filthy little bitch!
01:02:16You took the last good thing we had of our daughter.
01:02:20Byron, please defend me.
01:02:23See me.
01:02:25Please.
01:02:26For once.
01:02:30I, I, I, you, you have to let me explain.
01:02:33Shut up.
01:02:34I've got hours of footage and also testimony from household staff.
01:02:38And it all confirms the truth.
01:02:40Abby has been responsible for every bad deed that you have blamed Celeste for.
01:02:45And that's when I decided to dig deeper.
01:02:48Boss, you told me to find out why Gloria was killed the day she went in.
01:02:52I ran the names of every rival.
01:02:55Every enemy you have.
01:02:58Nothing.
01:03:00And then I looked up Abby.
01:03:04Abby paid for Gloria to be beaten to death.
01:03:18That's funny.
01:03:19That's, that's, that's a lie.
01:03:20That's a lie.
01:03:21He's making this up.
01:03:22Please.
01:03:24Please, Byron.
01:03:25That's a lie.
01:03:26He's making this up.
01:03:27Please.
01:03:28Please, Byron.
01:03:29I have more.
01:03:31Abby sabotaged Gloria's brakes, leading to the crash.
01:03:38I find Gloria Black guilty on all charges.
01:03:46I'm such a fucking idiot.
01:03:50I didn't even question myself.
01:03:54Well, you were so eager to help me after Gloria died.
01:04:03I abandoned her.
01:04:06I punished her.
01:04:08I broke her all for something that she didn't do.
01:04:14I don't, I only did, I only did.
01:04:17Because I love you.
01:04:19Shut up with that disgusting crap.
01:04:21Ben, stop.
01:04:22You're gonna kill her.
01:04:24Stop.
01:04:30Please, forgive me.
01:04:32You love me, right?
01:04:34I can give you everything you've ever wanted, please.
01:04:39I never loved you, not for a second.
01:04:43And right now, I want to kill you.
01:04:46Blas, Blas, stop, please.
01:04:49I already called the police.
01:04:51They'll come and get her.
01:04:52Do not ruin your life over her.
01:04:55No.
01:04:55No, Myron.
01:04:57Myron, you can't do this.
01:04:58No, you can't.
01:04:59Please.
01:05:00Please don't call the police.
01:05:02You love me.
01:05:03You love me.
01:05:04You do.
01:05:05Remember when I first saw you.
01:05:08When we first met.
01:05:09Remember when I came to you.
01:05:11I just graduated college.
01:05:13I was a new hire.
01:05:15I was nothing.
01:05:17You remembered my name.
01:05:19You pulled me close.
01:05:21You made me your assistant.
01:05:23Everyone said that if you weren't married, you would have married me.
01:05:28You listen carefully.
01:05:30The only woman that I love is Celeste.
01:05:33And the only reason that you got close to me was because of her.
01:05:39And the only reason that you got close to me was because of her.
01:05:43No, no, no, no.
01:05:44That's not true.
01:05:45That's not true.
01:05:45You love me.
01:05:47You do.
01:05:48Every time you looked at me, you were obsessed.
01:05:52When you would stare at my face, it was like you couldn't get enough.
01:05:56So how can you stand here and say you never loved me?
01:06:00You're just a cheap substitute.
01:06:02You should be grateful.
01:06:03Grateful that your face looks half as good as hers.
01:06:07Because if it didn't, I would kill you right here, right now.
01:06:11Cheap substitute.
01:06:13No, no, that is impossible.
01:06:18How can I be her substitute?
01:06:21Get her out of here.
01:06:22Cancel every credit card I gave her.
01:06:25Terminate the lease on the apartment that I rent.
01:06:28And stop funding her accounts.
01:06:30Leave her with nothing.
01:06:33A substitute.
01:06:34A substitute.
01:06:35I don't understand.
01:06:38I did everything.
01:06:41Everything.
01:06:42To make you abandon her.
01:06:45I thought that once Gloria died that you would just be done with her.
01:06:51That you would divorce her.
01:06:52Kick her out.
01:06:53But no.
01:06:53You didn't.
01:06:55So I stayed.
01:06:56And for five years, I stayed right here watching you tear her down over and over again.
01:07:06All I ever saw was hate.
01:07:09Why didn't you divorce her?
01:07:11Why couldn't you just let her go?
01:07:14Oh, my God.
01:07:16How did I not figure this out before?
01:07:18Even when I killed Gloria, you couldn't stop loving Celeste because you never hated her.
01:07:26The one that you hated was yourself.
01:07:31So you just couldn't let yourself let her go.
01:07:35So you tortured her.
01:07:38Gloria's blood.
01:07:39It might be on my hands.
01:07:41Fine.
01:07:42But I'm not the reason Celeste is dead.
01:07:45You are everything that she loved.
01:07:49You destroyed.
01:07:51Your baby.
01:07:54You killed it.
01:07:55You told yourself that you hated her.
01:07:58But, oh, how she must have hated you.
01:08:04Even at the very end.
01:08:07I bet she cursed your name with her very last breath.
01:08:20Yeah, that's it.
01:08:22She's not dead.
01:08:23This is a prank.
01:08:24This is a prank.
01:08:26And I'm going to fix it.
01:08:28And I'm going to find her.
01:08:30I'll find her.
01:08:30And I will make her forgive me.
01:08:33I have to.
01:08:58I have to.
01:09:00I have to.
01:09:01I have to.
01:09:08I will.
01:09:20I have to.
01:09:20I don't know.
01:10:08She's just mad at you.
01:10:11She'll forgive you like she always does.
01:10:14You show her.
01:10:20Celeste!
01:10:24Ariel, open up!
01:10:27Leave now or I will call the police.
01:10:30Leave now or I will call the police.
01:10:32I just need to talk to her, please.
01:10:34Ariel, she's not here.
01:10:35Just tell me where she is, please.
01:10:37She's not here.
01:10:39Celeste!
01:10:39I need to talk to you.
01:10:41Come on, you're still my wife!
01:10:42She's still your wife.
01:10:44Why don't you know where she is?
01:10:45I fucked up.
01:10:46I fucked up bad.
01:10:47I just, let me, let me try and make it right with her.
01:10:50You can't.
01:10:52No more games.
01:10:53No more games.
01:10:54I already broke it off with Abby.
01:10:57I'll move.
01:10:57I'll move Celeste out of the maid quarters.
01:11:00I'll do anything that she wants.
01:11:01Whatever she wants.
01:11:02Please, Ariel, just...
01:11:03You can't.
01:11:04You can't.
01:11:05Don't you get that, you stupid, pathetic asshole?
01:11:08You can't make it up to her.
01:11:10Not ever.
01:11:11She's dead.
01:11:16She's dead.
01:11:17And you and your family drove her to it.
01:11:22That's a joke.
01:11:23The joke's over.
01:11:25Ariel, I...
01:11:26I can't get any more police.
01:11:28I need her.
01:11:29Well, you should have thought about that before you drove her to her death.
01:11:32I was wrong.
01:11:34I didn't...
01:11:35I...
01:11:36I didn't want to.
01:11:37I...
01:11:38I shouldn't have.
01:11:42Celeste!
01:11:43Celeste!
01:11:44Celeste!
01:11:46Forgive me, please!
01:11:48We can make this right.
01:11:50We can, I swear.
01:11:51We can fix it together.
01:11:53I'll do whatever you want, please.
01:11:55Just let me show you in person, please.
01:11:59How many times do I have to say this before you just fucking listen to me?
01:12:03You can't fix this.
01:12:05You are never going to fix this because my best friend is dead.
01:12:13She came to me in despair.
01:12:16She was begging for help.
01:12:19She wept in my arms as she told me about her baby that she lost.
01:12:23Your baby, Byron.
01:12:24The baby that you didn't want.
01:12:27I don't know.
01:12:33This is the last gift Celeste wanted me to give you.
01:12:39Even in her last hours on this earth, she thought of you.
01:12:44She wanted to be free of you, Byron.
01:12:46Celeste wanted to make sure that this divorce would be the absolute end of the two of you.
01:12:51Not just in this life, but in any life that might come after.
01:12:55She wanted to make sure that not even your souls could ever be reunited.
01:12:59Now get out!
01:13:15Please tell me where she is.
01:13:18Just need to see her one last time.
01:13:20Stop putting on this axe pretending you loved her.
01:13:23You didn't love her.
01:13:24You were with another woman when she died, weren't you?
01:13:28Ariel, I have a voice.
01:13:30Please, please, please, Ariel, please!

01:22:45Son, you have to stop this.
01:22:48Celeste is gone. There is nothing you can do to bring her back.
01:22:52You've got to take care of yourself, son.
01:23:02Celeste left this for you.
01:23:16If it were up to me, I'd let you rot before you saw it.
01:23:18But it was her final request.
01:23:22For you to read her last words.
01:23:25Her last wishes.
01:23:29I've given you your life back, Byron.
01:23:32We're even now.
01:23:34I hope hell's willing to take me.
01:23:37That way, when you reach heaven, we'll never have to see each other again.
01:23:42Don't grieve for me.
01:23:43I've given you exactly what you wished for.
01:23:46My absence from your life.
01:23:50I choose to end my life with dignity.
01:23:53But you're not dead yet, and you should live with dignity.
01:23:56If you ever had a single scrap of love for me,
01:24:00please, honor my last wishes.
01:24:03Live, Byron. Breathe.
01:24:06We are only granted one life on this earth.
01:24:09And it's up to us to live each moment of it the best we can.
01:24:14If we're lucky, we get to spend those moments with a person we love.
01:24:20I love you, Celeste.
01:24:24I will always love you.
01:24:31I will always love you.
01:24:40And...
01:24:42She wanted me to give you this gift.
01:24:54She fixed it.
01:24:59Can you guys give me a moment?
01:25:02A phone.
01:25:27I don't know what I'm doing.
01:25:27I love you.
01:25:30I love you.
01:25:42All weeks.
01:25:45And now, look at your word.
01:25:52I Nein челов.
01:25:54No, no.
01:25:56Let me refute anyone.
01:25:57Why are you going to where do you want to die?
01:26:08Celeste, I got your letter, and the necklace I broke, you fixed it, you were always a better
01:26:23person than me, you always knew how to make the best in things, and it was one of my favorite
01:26:32qualities of yours, we were so happy, and it's my fault that it all went wrong, and you were
01:26:40right to tell the truth about Gloria, that was one of my favorite things about you, the
01:26:48day we got married, I promised you that I would always love you, and I meant that, and I meant
01:26:54that, you probably don't believe me, because I betrayed you, I'm so sorry, I will pay for
01:27:06it forever, I know you didn't want to see me ever again, I don't blame you, but you were
01:27:19always an angel, Celeste, and whatever heaven has to offer, you deserve it, you deserve it
01:27:24all and more, if one of us has to go to hell for this, let it be me.
