A Son Replaced

Short filmTranscript
00:00Today I discovered that the son I have raised for 10 years might not be my biological child.
00:06I am the only daughter of the highest authority in the Voss family.
00:11Today, when I was at the hospital for a checkup, I found that my son's blood type does not
00:17match mine, but he looks exactly like my husband.
00:21A terrifying suspicion arose in my mind.
00:24I need to go home and get a sample to verify my suspicion.
00:29On the way hoped, and I tore up the gang's inheritance papers.
00:34After getting my son's sample, I rushed to the genetic testing center.
00:39I need a rush test, now.
00:43My hands were shaking as I gave the sample.
00:47I called a private investigator in secret.
00:51Track my husband, I want to know everywhere he's been.
00:56At 3.40pm, the results hit my phone.
01:02I scrolled straight to the bottom.
01:06Serafina Voss is not the biological mother.
01:10The world stopped.
01:11I've been raising another woman's child for 9 years.
01:16So where is my real baby?
01:19I went to the hospital where I gave birth.
01:22My father wanted me to give birth at the private Voss hospital.
01:26But Kilian insisted we come here instead.
01:28He said he had his own people on the inside.
01:33I was so stupid to believe him.
01:35I found the doctor from 9 years ago.
01:41I want my delivery records.
01:43Now.
01:46She looked nervous.
01:48Her smile vanished.
01:50The file they gave me was almost empty.
01:52No footprints.
01:54No nurse logs.
01:55No blood reports.
01:56No footprints.
01:56Everything was scrubbed clean.
01:59A fake medical file.
02:00A missing baby record.
02:02And a son who looks just like my husband.
02:06Then.
02:07My phone rang.
02:08It was Kilian.
02:09a person who looked at me for a while.
02:17Where are you?
02:18I just picked Milo up from school.
02:20It's me.
02:22It's me.
02:22It's me.
02:22I'm running errands.
02:24I'll be home soon.
02:27I hung up.
02:28I couldn't breathe.
02:34That night, I pretended to have a headache.
02:37I listened to them through the door.
02:39is mommy okay she's just tired once they fell asleep I started searching I tore
02:52the house apart I found nothing in the bedroom or the living room finally I
02:59looked at the computer in the study the truth is in there I know it

03:16he glanced at the computer screen it was back to the desktop wallpaper a photo of us at the beach
03:23three years ago the perfect family portrait
03:32still up just organizing some old files I turned off the monitor and he just nodded I sat in the
03:39dark listening to him walk away the next morning I sent him to take Milo to school the second they
03:47left I ran to the computer I tried our anniversary wrong password I tried his birthday Milo's birthday

08:03Marcus there's something I'd like to discuss with you regarding the syndicate succession meeting next week
08:12Killian forgot one very important thing this empire belongs to the boss family and I am the one in control
08:27Killian became second in command because of me I begged my father to give him a chance if I can

08:42in his name I
08:44went back to that school every single day on Friday I waited for him to come out I dropped my

09:16green just like mine

09:30laces
09:30were broken I tucked $200 into his bag go buy some new shoes okay no I can't take this consider
09:41it a
09:41thank you for the help I walked away before he could argue that night I stood
09:50at Milo's bedroom door he was playing with a brand new expensive VR set
10:02mom is something wrong I touched his hair and forced a smile did you finish your homework
10:08yeah dad said if I get all A's we're going to Disney
10:14I nodded but my heart was screaming my real son is riding a bike in broken shoes while this boy
10:22lives
10:23in luxury Killian finally came home from his trip
10:32where's Milo
10:36at a two-hour French tutoring session
10:39he smelled like that Tiffany perfume he tried to hug me but I stepped back
10:50you smell like perfume Killian who was it
10:54Sarah stop being so paranoid it's just from a business dinner give it a rest
11:00I felt like laughing his acting was pathetic
11:03I pulled the photos out of an envelope and tossed them on the table
11:08his face went pale
11:17you tracked me
11:18does it matter
11:21what matters is what happens if the people in the syndicate see these
11:27or if my father sees them
11:29he collapsed onto the sofa hiding his face
11:37what do you want
11:38first fire Chloe never see her again
11:41second tell me what happened at the hospital ten years ago
11:45you're crazy over a few photos
11:49over a few photos
11:51Killian
11:52don't forget the company name is Voss
11:57I gave you this life
11:59I can take it back
12:00I thought of Elias in his dirty clothes and broken sneakers
12:06for the sake of our ten years and the kids
12:09do as I say
12:12we can keep going
12:15we can keep going
12:17after all we still have Milo
12:23you
12:24Killian stared at the pregnancy report
12:26stunned
12:33you're pregnant?
12:36I nodded placing a hand on my stomach
12:38five weeks
12:40the doctor says it's stable
12:42cut ties with Chloe
12:44get her out of our lives
12:50we have Milo
12:51and now we have this baby
12:54Killian struggled
12:55I...
12:57I need to think about it
12:59he stayed up all night
13:00the light in his room never went out
13:03the next morning I was sipping my coffee
13:06Killian walked out with dark circles under his eyes
13:09Serafina, I've decided
13:13we should...
13:15don't bother
13:17I slid the divorce papers across the table
13:20he was furious
13:24what is this?
13:26what about the baby?
13:29I told you I was pregnant
13:31and you needed all night to choose?
13:33you didn't think about me
13:34you didn't even think about Milo
13:37Milo?
13:38you mean the kid I raised for ten years?
13:41the one who is actually yours and Chloe's?
13:43Killian's face went white
13:45he stumbled back
13:46he stumbled back
13:48I held up my phone with the DNA report
13:53how...
13:54how do you know?
13:55when did you find out?
13:59thanks for using Chloe's birthday as your password for ten years
14:04Sarah let me explain
14:06explain how you swapped the babies when I gave birth?
14:10or how you've laughed at me behind my back for a decade?
14:13I stepped closer
14:15my voice cold as ice
14:18did you feel guilty because you lied to me?
14:22or because you weren't even a good father to your own son?
14:27Elias
14:28Killian snapped
14:32where is Elias?
14:33I need to see him!
14:35too late
14:35your son
14:36no, our real son
14:38is somewhere you'll never find him
14:41and Chloe's son is upstairs
14:43sleeping
14:46he has no idea what kind of man his father really is
14:51Serafina, you can't do this!
14:53he's my kid!
14:55I'm all into play me as Venice
14:59the day you swapped those babies
15:01you lost the right to be a father
15:04now get out of my house!
15:06I slammed the door
15:07I heard him banging on it
15:10then I heard his car speed away
15:13he's going to Chloe
15:14he's looking for the son he lost for ten years
15:18but he will never find Elias
15:20three days ago I met Elias again
15:23the private investigator had given me everything
15:25I told him the truth
15:26he was so calm
15:28his eyes, just like mine
15:29showed maturity beyond his years
15:31I always felt like I wasn't her son
15:35otherwise, why would she leave me here to rot?
15:37I held his hand
15:38I promised to take him away
15:39we're going to start over
15:40he stayed silent for a long time
15:42then slowly nodded
15:45yesterday afternoon he caught a flight with my assistant
15:50he's abroad now
15:51new school, new house, new friends
15:55once I finish cleaning up this mess here
15:57I'll finally be with my son again
15:59the divorce papers sat on the table for three days
16:03finally, Killian showed up at my door
16:05he looked like a mess
16:07dark circles, unshaven face
16:10I leaned against the door, refusing to let him in
16:14Serafina, we need to talk
16:18the papers are clear
16:20there's nothing to discuss
16:22I can't do this
16:24think of our ten years
16:26our child
16:28which child?
16:30the one in the videos?
16:32or the one upstairs?
16:34Killian's face turned ghostly white
16:36a week ago, Chloe sent me a batch of files
16:39I opened them
16:41they were videos of my real son, Elias
16:44videos of him crying
16:46being hit, and locked in dark rooms
16:49one video showed him at five years old
16:52he was slapped across the face
16:54just for spilling some milk
16:56the email had only one sentence
16:58thanks for raising my son for all these years
17:02I watched those videos all night
17:04and I threw up three times
17:06those videos, Chloe just loses control sometimes
17:10that's your son
17:12you see her every week
17:15you noticed her new perfume and nails
17:18but you never noticed the bruises on your own son
17:23I've hired a lawyer
17:25sign it, or we go to court
17:28the baby swap, the cheating, the abuse videos
17:32will all be on the public record
17:34are you crazy? I'm about to take over the family business
17:37exactly
17:39before I found out you betrayed me
17:43you wouldn't want me to tell my father about this, would you?
17:48sign it, while I'm still being merciful
17:51three days later, Killian signed the papers
17:53four days after the divorce
17:55I saw their wedding photo online
17:57Chloe in white, Killian holding her with a stiff face
18:00the caption read, ten years of waiting, finally together
18:03I took a screenshot
18:04and turned off my phone
18:09everything is ready
18:10the swap records, the abuse
18:12it's enough to put them away for a long time
18:14good, do it
18:16you don't want to see him one last time?
18:19he came by yesterday, he says he's sorry
18:22too late
18:23the next morning, my flight took off
18:26my assistant met me at the airport
18:31Elias is doing better
18:33he's starting to talk more
18:35he even asked when you'd be arriving
18:38my heart skipped a beat
18:40the car stopped in front of a white house
18:43in the garden, a small boy was watching ants
18:53Elias
18:54Elias
18:54he looked a bit better than the videos
18:56but still too thin
18:59Milo grew up healthy under my care
19:01while my own son suffered
19:04the thought cut through me like a knife
19:08I knelt down in front of him
19:18I'm your mommy
19:22he stared at me for a long time
19:25then nodded slowly
19:26I pulled him into a hug
19:30he didn't pull away
19:32I'm sorry
19:33mommy is late
19:40he was shaking in my arms
19:47for the next two weeks
19:49I left work behind to be with him
19:51we went to the park
19:53he rode a carousel for the first time
19:55we went to the library
19:57he loves books about the stars
20:01he doesn't talk much
20:02but sometimes he smiles at me
20:05one afternoon
20:07we were making cookies in the kitchen
20:09the doorbell rang
20:16Mr. Rula?
20:17I dropped the flower sifter
20:20Seraphia
20:22I've been looking for you for weeks
20:23I walked out and shut the kitchen door behind me
20:28now you've found me
20:31you can leave
20:33I want to see him
20:34our son
20:37I've been
20:38I've been
20:38having nightmares
20:41Chloe hitting him
20:42I never knew
20:43you should have known
20:43you just chose to look the other way
20:49is the baby
20:52still there?
20:56of course the baby is here
20:58I place my hand on my stomach
21:01the doctor says it's perfect
21:03it'll be born next spring
21:05he looked terrible
21:08suddenly he lost it
21:09and he lunged at me
21:11I stepped aside and he crashed into the hallway
21:14the other way
21:17Serafina
21:18I need to see my son
21:21you can't do this
21:22I looked at him and laughed
21:25coldly
21:26don't worry about where my son is
21:28worry about if your son will be going to be promised
21:33if you want that to happen
21:34if you want that to happen
21:35go deal with him first
21:37I kicked him out and clammed the door
21:40just looking at him
21:41through the window I saw him collapse on the ground
21:47he was pulling at his hair
21:49looking absolutely pathetic
21:52shortly after
21:53my lawyer called
22:00Mrs. Lynn, it's getting ugly
22:02but things aren't going as expected
22:04it turned out Killian and Chloe had already split
22:08in court, Chloe lost her mind
22:10she exposed everything
22:12how Killian embezzled company funds for her
22:14how he promised to marry her
22:16and how his attitude changed the second he heard I was pregnant
22:20I gripped my phone, listening calmly
22:23but Killian pinned everything on Chloe, the lawyer continued
22:27he claimed she coerced him into swapping the baby
22:31the trial lasted two full days
22:33in the end, Chloe was sentenced to three years for child abduction and fraud
22:38Killian, however, walked away clean
22:41he sobbed in court, claiming he was a victim manipulated for ten years
22:46it sounded ridiculous, but the judge believed it
22:49or rather, his expensive lawyers were just that good
22:53before hanging up, my lawyer spoke softly
22:56Mrs. Lynn, I'm sorry, this isn't the outcome we wanted
22:59if you're willing, we can plan our next move
23:05it's enough, at least my son is back
23:08Elias was doing his homework
23:10I walked over to him
23:11Elias, mommy punished the bad people
23:15but maybe not enough
23:18do you blame me?
23:19Mom, I know who's good to me and who isn't
23:23I've always known
23:25I covered my mouth, tears streaming down my face
23:29he looked back down at his notebook and mumbled
23:31you look ugly when you cry
23:34I burst out laughing, crying and smiling all at once
23:39these days, I've been desperately trying to make up for ten years of missing motherly love
23:46I transferred a portion of the family assets into Elias name
23:50he's young, but I know what this security means for his future
23:54I found him the best private school
23:57for ten years, Chloe neglected him, leaving him to fend for himself
24:01he was far behind his peers in school
24:04I hired three tutors, and Elias is working so hard to catch up
24:09one night, I brought him milk and found him asleep at his desk
24:12he was still clutching his pen
24:14I didn't wake him, I just gently draped a blanket over his shoulders
24:22Friday afternoon, I went to pick him up
24:24the gates were crowded with parents
24:27Elias ran out with his new backpack
24:29his face flushed from playing
24:31mom, I got a B plus on my math quiz today
24:35as I reached for the paper
24:36I caught a glimpse of a figure across the street
24:39it was Killian, sitting in a corner
24:41covered in stubble and looking haggard
24:44the powerful, second in command was nowhere to be seen
24:49Elias followed my gaze
24:50I took his hand
24:51let's go, we're going home
24:54as I turned, I heard hurried footsteps behind us
24:57Killian had already crossed the street, blocking our path
25:02Serafina, can we talk?
25:05I motioned for Elias to get in the car first
25:11there is nothing left to talk about
25:14Chloe is in prison
25:16he said quickly, desperate to prove himself
25:19you know, no
25:20I've handled everything, I'm completely done with her
25:24I couldn't help but laugh out loud
25:27Killian, I sent her to prison
25:30my lawyers did that
25:31what did you do?
25:34oh, right
25:35you were the victim crying the loudest in court
25:38his expression soured
25:41I know I was wrong, Sarah
25:43for the sake of the child
25:45forgive me
25:49the child?
25:50his eyes dropped on my stomach
25:54yes, our child
25:58oh, that
26:00I slowly smoothed the wrinkles on my coat
26:06it was fake
26:07Killian froze, his eyes wide with shock
26:10the pregnancy report was a forgery
26:13I just wanted to see what you choose
26:15it's been months
26:16if I were really pregnant, I'd be showing by now, wouldn't I?
26:20his stare lingered on my midsection for a long time
26:22it's okay, it doesn't matter if there's no baby
26:26we still have Elias
26:27we have ten years of history
26:29Killian, stop dreaming
26:31wake up!
26:33he acted as if he hadn't heard me
26:34he scrambled to open his briefcase
26:36look
26:39this was for your 30th birthday
26:42money was tight back then, so I hid it away
26:44this was for our 7th anniversary
26:47this was for the year we moved in
26:50came at home, would you?
26:53I'd buy them every year
26:55I just never gave them to you
26:57he looked up, his eyes bloodshot
27:00I'm giving them all to you now, okay?
27:02please
27:03just one more chance
27:06I knelt down and opened the nearest box
27:08inside was a diamond necklace with an iris pendant
27:12my, my favorite flower
27:13once, I would have been ecstatic over a gift like this
27:16I would have worn it proudly on his arm at every gala
27:18now, it just made me want to gag
27:21I stood up and dropped the necklace back into its box
27:26Kilden, I loved you most when I couldn't sleep because you hadn't texted back
27:31when I'd bring homemade lasagna to your office late at night
27:34when a simple thanks for your hard work made everything worth it
27:37that version of me is long gone
27:39these things, they're no different from trash to me now
27:43he fell silent, his shoulders slumped, as if his spine had suddenly been removed
27:48I didn't look back
27:49I turned and walked toward my car
27:51for me, none of it mattered anymore
27:53three years later, in late autumn
27:56Elias has grown so much, he's already up to my shoulder
27:59mom, can you come to the parent-teacher meeting next week?
28:04I rested my hand on his shoulder
28:05of course
28:07for my son's meeting, I'd be there even if the sky were falling
28:11he turned and gave me a small smile
28:14in these three years, Elias has become so sensible
28:17it breaks my heart
28:19he clumsily makes me pasta and carrot cake for my birthday
28:23he's pulled his grades up from F's to B pluses
28:26and started training for the football team
28:29one Sunday evening, we baked cookies together
28:32Elias accidentally knocked over the baking tray
28:35his face went pale instantly
28:39I'm sorry mom
28:43Elias, you don't ever have to be afraid in front of me
28:48you can throw a tantrum
28:51you can be stubborn
28:53you can say no like other kids
28:56I don't love you because you're good
28:58I love you because you're you
29:02but
29:03if I do something wrong, will you leave me?
29:07I pulled him into a hug
29:09never
29:10the best thing I ever did in my life was find you
29:13he was silent for a long time
29:15then finally gave a gentle nod
29:17I hope God
29:17I really don't know
