Husband DoubleParked, Died Three Days Later

Short filmTranscript
00:00My husband parked his SUV across two spaces. Three days later, he was dead. When I checked
00:04his phone, my blood ran cold. I was waiting at the gas station. I scrolled on my phone to kill
00:09time. A trending Reddit thread popped up. My side piece wants to come over. But my wife's
00:14work schedule is all over the place. How do I sneak her in without getting caught? Bro,
00:18I got you. We've got two parking spots so I take up both of them. My wife gets home and
00:21sees she can't park. She calls me. While I'm downstairs, my side piece slips out. Been doing
00:26this for six months. Never got caught. The comments were blowing up. The original poster
00:30even liked the reply. I never comment. But this time, I did. You're all trash. Then I drove home.
00:36I pulled into our building's parking garage. As I turned the corner toward our spots, I froze.
00:41My husband's SUV was parked across both spaces, right on the yellow line. He's a perfectionist.
00:45He usually spends 10 minutes lining the car up just right. There was no way this was an accident.
00:50My stomach twisted. I went pale. I slammed on the brakes. My tires screeched against the concrete,
00:55the sound echoing through the garage. I just sat there, shaking all over.
01:00It's just a coincidence. I whispered. It has to be. Alex was the perfect husband. We dated for five
01:06years and had been married for two. For seven years, he always took care of me. He handled
01:10everything at home, even cooked for me every day. He remembered every little thing about me.
01:14On my birthday, he surprised me with a brand new Porsche. My girl deserves the best. He even paid
01:21for the spot next to his just for me. He always parked as close to his side as possible so
01:25I'd
01:25have extra room. A guy like that wouldn't cheat. But I had to see for myself. I didn't call him.
01:30I parked in a visitor spot, killed the engine, and got out. I stood at our front door. My heart
01:35was
01:35pounding in my chest. My palms were slick with sweat. I slid the key into the lock. I barely breathed.
01:42I pushed open the front door. I went straight to the bedroom. The door was cracked open, but the room
01:46was empty. I checked the guest room, nothing. I checked the office, the bathrooms, even the closets.
01:52The house was dead silent. Alex? I called. Then the kitchen door swung open. Alex walked out wearing
01:58an apron. He was holding a plate. He froze for a second when he saw me. Babe, what are you
02:03doing home
02:03so early? He set the plate on the table. He gave me that same sweet smile. I was trying to
02:07surprise you
02:08with a big dinner. I'm not even done yet. I glanced into the kitchen. My favorite butternut squash soup
02:12was simmering on the stove. He really had been cooking. I exhaled and forced a smile. Work was
02:17slow today. They let me out early. Alex nodded, then walked over and kissed my forehead. Go relax
02:22on the couch. Dinner will be ready soon. I watched him walk away, but I still had to ask. Hey,
02:28why'd you park across both spots today? The second I said it, the chopping stopped.
02:36Oh, that. I was in a rush to get upstairs and start dinner, so I didn't bother parking straight.
02:46He didn't seem suspicious at all. His excuse made perfect sense. Alex was a surgeon with
02:51brutal hours, but he always had dinner ready when I walked in. I used to tell him to rest,
02:55but he'd always brush it off.
02:57You get low blood sugar, babe. I want food on the table when you get home. That's important to me.
03:07Okay, I'll be right there.
03:09Babe, emergency surgery. I have to go in.
03:13He grabbed his car keys and kissed my forehead. Then he rushed out the door. The moment the door
03:17clicked shut, the house went silent. I stared at the table. I didn't take a single bite. I set down
03:23my
03:23fork. Almost without thinking, I walked into the bedroom. The bedroom was spotless as bed made,
03:31nothing out of place. But the cleaner it was, the sicker I felt. I checked everywhere. The sheets,
03:37the closet, the nightstands, everything was perfectly untouched. Even the trash can was empty. Not a
03:42single thing was out of place. Am I losing my mind? I turned to leave.
03:50But as I grabbed the doorknob, I saw something under the bed. My heart stopped. I knelt down
03:55and pulled it out. It was an earring. I don't even have pierced ears. It wasn't mine. My ears rang.
04:01I pulled out my phone and refreshed the thread. The original poster had just replied one minute ago.
04:06Tried your parking trick. My wife never called. She just came straight inside. I heard the front
04:10door and barely had time to hide her. Almost got caught. Damn, your wife's sharp. Yeah,
04:13came up with an excuse to leave. Taking her home now. Alex was cheating on me. He brought another
04:19woman into our home. Shaking, I pocketed my phone and walked out. I sat there, staring at the dining
04:25table. Alex remembered every little thing I liked. He remembered I can't skip meals. He even kissed
04:30my forehead before he left. But he forgot one thing. I never forgive cheaters. How much of our marriage
04:35was a lie. I sat there for a long time. Then I called my parents. Dad. Sophia, what's going on?
04:42I know this is a lot to take in, but I need you to listen to me. I didn't want
04:45to believe it either,
04:46but it's true. I told them everything. Honey, are you sure? There has to be some explanation. Alex
04:52treats you like a queen. Everyone knows that. He's a surgeon. He's always on call. He probably
04:56had a real emergency. It's probably just some weird coincidence. Bullshit! That's not a coincidence.
05:02The post talked about the parking trick and Alex did it. Sophia walked right in and the post updated
05:07with that exact detail. The guy said he made an excuse to take his side piece home and Alex
05:11suddenly rushed out. And now there's another woman's earring in her bedroom. How is any of
05:15that a coincidence? But Alex adores you, Sophia. So what? Playing the nice guy doesn't mean he's
05:21faithful. Men who cheat are always the perfect husbands at home. That's exactly how they get
05:26away with it. My dad went quiet. The nerve of this guy. When he wanted to marry you, he camped
05:32out on
05:32our porch for three days with flowers in his hands. He got on his knees and swore he'd give
05:37you the world. And now? You've only been married two years and he's sneaking some woman into your
05:41house? Who the hell does he think he is? But I was just confused. My dad was right. Alex had
05:47always
05:47been amazing to me. He was a brilliant, gorgeous surgeon. Women throw themselves at him constantly.
05:52The chief of surgery's daughter practically begged for his attention. But Alex turned her down flat.
05:56He pissed off the wrong people. It almost ruined his career. But he didn't care. He told me,
06:01I'd rather lose everything than lose you. That's why none of this made sense.
06:05Sophia, what do you want to do? My dad asked. He looked dead serious.
06:08I want to catch him red-handed. My mom leaned in.
06:11How? I didn't answer right away. I just unlocked my phone. I swiped to an app one never used.
06:17A GPS tracker. Alex had shared his location with me years ago through this app. He wanted me to
06:22always know where he was. I told him no at first. I trusted him. I thought tracking your partner was
06:27toxic. But he insisted. He said it was just for emergencies. If anything bad,
06:31ever happened, I could find him. For seven years, I was proud I'd never once opened the app. Now,
06:36I was using it to catch him cheating. I took a deep breath and tapped the icon. The screen loaded.
06:41A map popped up. A little green dot was moving down the street. My dad stared at the screen.
06:46Is that him right now?
06:47I just nodded.
06:49Let's go. Right now. I want to see the trashy homewrecker Alex was willing to risk everything
06:54for.
06:55My dad grabbed his keys. Mom and I followed him out to the car. Mom kept ranting from the backseat.
06:59And to think I actually believed he loved you. He's sneaking a woman into your bed while literally
07:05cooking you dinner. It's sick. If he wanted out, he should have just asked for a divorce like a man.
07:10Instead, he's making a fool out of you. When I catch them, I'll rip them to shreds.
07:15We drove for 20 minutes. Suddenly, the green dot stopped moving.
07:18Step on it, dad.
07:20We stopped a block away.
07:22I spotted Alex's SUV parked in front of a huge estate. I jumped out of the car. I marched straight
07:27toward the driveway. At first, I didn't notice my parents. All the color had drained from their faces.
07:32My dad jumped out.
07:33Sophia, are you sure the tracker led you here?
07:36Something was very wrong.
07:38Dad, what is it? Do you know this place?
07:41He opened his mouth, but nothing came out. My mom ran up behind us.
07:46Sophia, we need to go home. Just let it go.
07:49I stared at her in shock.
07:50What? Mom, you were just talking about ripping them to shreds.
07:54They are right inside this house. Why are you backing down?
07:57She grabbed my arm.
07:58Sophia, I am begging you. Get in the car. Drop this right now. Please.
08:03My dad grabbed my other arm. His face was grave.
08:06Listen to your mother. We are leaving. We are doing this for your own good.
08:10My mind was spinning. 10 minutes ago, they were ready to kill him.
08:13One look at this house, and they turned into completely different people.
08:16Was it the house? Or was it the person inside?
08:18I ripped my arms away, sprinted up the steps, and pounded on the door.
08:22A few seconds later, the door swung open. Alex stood right there.
08:25A woman was standing right behind him. I saw her face. My eyes went wide.
08:29I stared straight into that woman's face. Suddenly, everything clicked.
08:33I started laughing. Tears streamed down my cheeks. It was pathetic.
08:37Alex froze. Raw panic flashed in his eyes. The woman behind him saw me.
08:41Her eyes went wide. She went rigid. We locked eyes.
08:45A violent shiver ripped through my body. I turned and ran.
08:49Sophia! Sophia!
08:51I didn't stop. I threw myself into the driver's seat. I started the engine and slammed on the gas.
08:56I just needed to escape. From her face. From the twisted truth.
09:00I just had to get away. The tires squealed as the car shot forward.
09:03Through the open window, I heard my parents screaming.
09:06Can't drive like this!
09:11Metal crunched. Glass shattered.
09:13In my blind panic, I slammed into a massive tree.
09:16Agony ripped through my entire body. The airbag deployed, nearly snapping my neck.
09:20The windshield shattered, raining glass down on me.
09:23Blood poured from my forehead, blinding my eyes.
09:26I saw the twisted steering wheel. I saw the bark peeled back on the massive tree I just hit.
09:30Then, everything went dead silent.
09:32In the blur, I heard someone screaming my name.
09:34I heard panicked footsteps.
09:35I heard gut-wrenching sobs.
09:40I tried to open my eyes.
09:42But they were so heavy.
09:43It felt like concrete was holding them shut.
09:45I could feel hands pulling me out of the wreck.
09:46But I couldn't move.
09:48I couldn't hear right.
09:49Everything was muffled.
09:50I vaguely heard Alex.
09:52He was screaming at someone.
09:53Ferociously.
09:54Then came a reply.
09:55Their voices stretched out, distorted and chaotic.
09:58I couldn't make out the words.
09:59But I knew it was bad.
10:00Alex was always so calm, so perfect.
10:03Now, he was having a total meltdown in the street.
10:07Let's get her stabilized.
10:09Is she gonna be okay?
10:10We need more light over here.
10:11Pressure on the wound.
10:11What happened?
10:12Someone reached out and touched me.
10:14It wasn't Alex.
10:15A pair of soft, warm hands checked my pupils and my pulse.
10:18Mass massive hemorrhage.
10:19Blood pressure is crashing.
10:21We need emergency trauma protocols.
10:23Get her in the ambulance.
10:25Now.
10:26Was I dying?
10:26I couldn't tell.
10:28Damn it.
10:29We're losing her pulse.
10:30I was just so tired.
10:31The exhaustion pulled me down into the dark.
10:33I had a dream.
10:34I dreamed about the very first time I met Alex.
10:37It was our senior year of high school.
10:39It was pouring rain.
10:40I was standing outside the library, waiting for it to stop.
10:45Suddenly, my blood sugar crashed.
10:47My legs gave out.
10:48Just as I was about to hit the concrete, a pair of strong arms caught me from behind.
10:51The world was spinning.
11:04The sugar hit my system, and my vision finally cleared.
11:10Alex didn't seem to hear me.
11:12He was staring at me.
11:13His eyes were dark and almost obsessed.
11:15I think I've seen you somewhere before.
11:18It didn't sound like a cheap pickup line.
11:19It sounded like a sudden realization.
11:21Like he was confirming something to himself.
11:24Take it.
11:25What about you?
11:26I live close by.
11:33I tracked down his classroom the next day.
11:35I wanted to return the umbrella.
11:36But they told me he wasn't there.
11:38He had caught a terrible fever from the rain.
11:41I went to check on him at the nurse's office.
11:43When he saw me, he looked panicked.
11:46I'm just waiting for a friend.
11:49But the second the words left his mouth, he collapsed.
11:51He passed out from the fever.
11:53That was how it all started, how we fell in love.
11:56Five years of dating.
11:58Two years of marriage.
11:59For seven years, his devotion was flawless.
12:01He knew all my quirks.
12:02He put up with my moods.
12:04Even when I gave him the silent treatment, he never raised his voice.
12:07He just patiently loved me.
12:08He spoiled me so much that everyone else was jealous.
12:11Those memories flashed through my mind like a movie reel.
12:13His silhouette holding the umbrella in the rain.
12:15His awkward smile singing happy birthday.
12:17And the warmth of his chest holding me tight when I cried.
12:20Every single moment made me feel so incredibly safe.
12:22But then, the screen shattered.
12:24The warmth vanished.
12:29Sophia.
12:31The ending is already written.
12:34We can't change it.
12:36I jolted awake from the nightmare.
12:38I was lying in a hospital bed.
12:39My parents were hovering over me, looking completely drained.
12:44Sophia.
12:45You're finally awake.
12:47I thought you were never going to wake up.
12:50Sophia.
12:51Can you hear me?
12:52Are you in pain?
12:54I stared at my dad in shock.
12:55How had he aged 10 years while I was asleep?
12:57I opened my mouth to answer them, but no sound came out.
13:00My throat was bone dry and burning.
13:02It felt like I had swallowed gravel.
13:03It's okay, Sophia.
13:05It's all over.
13:12The doctor said she still needs to be monitored.
13:15We'll talk about all of that when she's stronger.
13:18All of that?
13:19What did that mean?
13:20Where was Alex?
13:21I lay there in the bed, my mind spiraling into absolute chaos.
13:25You just need to rest right now.
13:27Don't overthink.
13:29You'll find out everything when you get better.
13:36During my time in the hospital, Alex, the man who supposedly worshipped the ground I walked
13:39on, never showed up.
13:40Not even once.
13:41And no one would say a single word about what happened that day.
13:45A few days passed.
13:46I started getting my strength back.
13:48I could finally force out a weak, raspy whisper.
13:53Where is Alex?
13:56He has some things to take care of.
13:58He's tied up right now.
13:59Just focus on yourself.
14:01Don't worry about him.
14:03Is it because of that woman?
14:11No.
14:12Sophia, it's all over.
14:15That woman won't be in our lives again.
14:17Everything is going to be fine.
14:20Won't be in our lives again?
14:21What did that mean?
14:22He risked our marriage for her.
14:23And now she's just gone?
14:25My mom was definitely hiding something huge.
14:28Sophia, your only job right now is to heal.
14:31You'll find out the rest when you're fully recovered.
14:35As the days dragged on, Alex still never came.
14:38And that made my blood run cold.
14:40I knew Alex saw the crash.
14:42Before I lost consciousness, I heard him screaming my name.
14:45I heard the raw panic and agony in his voice.
14:47I almost died.
14:49Even if he chose her, he worked at this exact hospital.
14:51He wouldn't just completely vanish.
14:53So where the hell was he?
14:55I wanted answers, but my parents kept their mouths shut.
14:58They came to see me every single day.
15:00But every time they walked in, their eyes were red and bloodshot.
15:03They refused to utter a single word about Alex or that woman.
15:06Only talked about my recovery, or forced small talk about the neighbors.
15:09Two weeks later, I was finally able to walk around on my own.
15:13One morning, I dragged myself out of bed for a walk.
15:16As I passed the nurse's station, I overheard two nurses whispering.
15:18Dr. Voss was so brilliant.
15:20So young.
15:21How could he just...
15:22My chest tightened.
15:23I marched right up to the desk.
15:25Are you talking about Alex?
15:29What happened to him?
15:30My heart pounding.
15:31They stared at my pale face.
15:34Mrs. Voss.
15:35You're still recovering.
15:37You shouldn't be getting worked up.
15:38Let's get you back to your room, okay?
15:42I planted my feet.
15:43Tell me.
15:43What happened to Alex?
15:50Dr. Voss, he resigned.
15:54Resigned?
15:56Is that why he hasn't been to my room in weeks?
15:59But that made no sense.
16:01Why would he quit out of nowhere?
16:07Mrs. Voss.
16:08You really need to ask your family about this.
16:11It's not our place to say.
16:29Sophia, what are you doing out of bed?
16:34Mom, what are you all hiding from me?
16:38Why didn't anyone tell me Alex resigned?
16:40What the hell is going on?
16:42Why would he just throw away his career?
16:50Mom, please.
16:51Just tell me.
16:52I am his wife.
16:53I have the right to know what happened to my husband.
17:01Sophia, I'll tell you.
17:03But you have to promise me you'll stay calm.
17:06Your body is still weak.
17:08You can't take another shock.
17:13Alex, he didn't resign, honey.
17:15He killed himself.
17:17My mind went blank.
17:18Everything went white.
17:19Alex killed himself?
17:21My legs gave out.
17:22I sagged onto the bed.
17:24The image of that girl's face flashing in my mind.
17:25Does he know everything?
17:27No.
17:29He didn't know anything.
17:34Then why the hell would he kill himself?
17:37He was too busy cheating on me with that woman.
17:41Mom, you're lying to me, aren't you?
17:47Sophia, I'm not lying to you.
17:50Alex is really gone.
17:53No!
17:54You're lying!
17:55He just has things to take care of.
17:57He's just busy.
17:58He had a perfect life.
18:00There is no way he just suddenly killed himself.
18:08The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable.
18:13The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable.
18:20No.
18:22He swore he'd always pick up on the first ring.
18:26Is he with her?
18:28Is he too busy with that woman to pick up the phone?
18:31Mom, stop lying to me.
18:34I know why he's so obsessed with that woman.
18:40I get it.
18:42Even if he loves her more.
18:44I can accept that.
18:47Just tell me the truth.
18:48He's not dead, right?
18:52Sophia, I'm not lying.
18:57You have to accept the reality.
18:59No!
19:01No, this isn't reality.
19:05I don't believe it.
19:12I'm going to find him.
19:15He has to be alive.
19:18Alex valued life more than anyone.
19:21He was a doctor!
19:24There's no way he'd kill himself!
19:26The day of the crash, I heard him screaming my name.
19:31It tore his throat apart.
19:33Sophia, I heard him screaming my name.
19:36It tore his throat apart.
19:38Sophia, enough.
19:39Alex is gone.
19:40He really killed himself.
19:42I don't believe it!
19:43I fought him, thrashing against his grip!
19:46Sophia, please don't do this to yourself.
19:48It breaks my heart seeing you like this.
19:51Then take me to him.
19:53If he's alive, I want to see him.
19:55If he's dead, I want to see the body.
20:01Okay.
20:04I'll take you to him.
20:06As I stepped closer, the letters carved into the stone came into sharp, horrifying focus,
20:10Alex Voss.
20:11Above his name was a photo of him.
20:12He was smiling.
20:14Alex was really gone.
20:15But why?
20:16What the hell happened?
20:17Why would he suddenly take his own life?
20:19I stood in front of the grave.
20:20My trembling fingers reached out, tracing his face on the cold porcelain.
20:24I turned to my mom.
20:25My face was numb.
20:26Tell me why he killed himself.
20:28Why would he end his life?
20:29What actually happened?
20:31When exactly did Alex do this?
20:32What happened that day?
20:35My mom stared at me, her eyes swimming in tears.
20:37A long silence passed before she finally let out a broken sigh.
20:41He killed himself.
20:43On the exact same day of your crash.
20:46My mind spun.
20:48Why?
20:48Tell me everything that happened that day.
20:51My mom looked at my dad.
20:53Finally, they told me the truth about that day.
20:55Just ask.
20:55You can't하신 the truth about it.
