00:00My husband Damien just kicked our three-year-old daughter out of the car.
00:10Get out of the car!
00:12The current outside temperature is minus five degrees Celsius.
00:16All because his mistress's daughter didn't want to sit with a dirty kid.
00:21When the car pulled over on the highway shoulder, I thought Damien just needed a restroom break.
00:28Aurora is asleep.
00:30Don't wake her.
00:32Damien didn't even look back.
00:34He just tapped the steering wheel.
00:36Clara, take Aurora and get out of the car.
00:39What?
00:40Damien, it's fine.
00:42We can just squeeze in.
00:43But her daughter Briar started screaming.
00:46No!
00:47I won't sit with that dirty kid!
00:49She's coughing!
00:51Did you hear that?
00:52Get out.
00:53Mira is on her way.
00:54She'll be here in 30 minutes.
00:56Just wait here.
00:57I held my three-year-old daughter and watched him drive away.
01:02The taillights faded into the snow until they were gone.
01:06Mommy, where's Daddy?
01:09Aurora whispered.
01:10Her biometric wristband began to pulse with a yellow warning light.
01:16Daddy, went to Grandma's first.
01:18Auntie Mira is coming to get us.
01:21I hit the dial for a video call to Tina.
01:28Clara?
01:29Her background was a chaotic blur of noise and pulsing neon.
01:33She was at a party.
01:35Mira, Damien told you to pick us up.
01:37Where are you?
01:39Just wait.
01:40I'll come later.
01:41Mira, it's freezing!
01:43Aurora can't stay out here!
01:45My brother said Celeste and Briar can't be out in the cold.
01:48They had to get home.
01:49You're just waiting.
01:50It's not like you'll die.
01:51Aurora shivered in my arms.
01:54Mommy, I want to go home.
01:58Soon, baby.
01:59We'll be home very soon.
02:01My heart broke.
02:03After four years of marriage, I never knew Damien could be this cruel.
02:08To dump his wife and child on a highway because another woman's kid called us dirty.
02:14Suddenly, headlights appeared.
02:16I waved like crazy.
02:18A black SUV pulled over.
02:22A black SUV pulled over.
02:27Need a hand?
02:29Please, can you give us a ride to the next service station?
02:32Get in.
02:33I reached for the door, but then a voice stopped me.
02:36Clara?
02:37It was Felix, Damien's father.
02:40What are you doing here?
02:41Where's my brother?
02:42I quickly told him everything.
02:45Felix's face turned pale with rage.
02:48Is he insane?
02:50He left you and Aurora here?
02:52So Celeste's daughter matters.
02:54But his own doesn't?
02:56Owen, let them in.
02:57We'll squeeze.
02:58But the car was full.
03:00There's no room.
03:01The driver said, looking worried.
03:03You guys go.
03:05I'll wait here.
03:06Felix pushed me toward the seat.
03:10Aurora's face is turning purple.
03:13She can't stay in the cold another second.
03:16Felix, it's freezing out there.
03:18What about you?
03:20I'm a grown man.
03:21I can handle a little cold.
03:23Take care of the kid first.
03:24Just go.
03:25The car started.
03:26I looked through the back window.
03:29Felix stood there alone in the blizzard.
03:32His figure grew smaller and smaller.
03:35Aurora fell asleep in my arms.
03:38But her face was a terrifying shade of red.
03:43Sir, can you go any faster?
03:44My daughter has a fever.
03:46The driver nodded and stepped on the gas.
03:49I tried to call Mira again.
03:51No signal.
03:52How much longer to the service station?
03:5520 kilometers.
03:57In this weather, at least 30 minutes.
04:01I held Aurora tighter.
04:03She was getting hotter by the second.
04:05She opened her eyes weakly.
04:08Suddenly, she started coughing.
04:10Her face turned a deep, sickly purple.
04:14Please!
04:14Please go faster!
04:16I'm trying!
04:18This is as fast as it goes!
04:19The roads are pure ice!
04:21I unzipped Aurora's coat.
04:24Her chest was heaving.
04:26Aurora, look at mommy.
04:27Don't close your eyes.
04:30I'll tell you a story.
04:32About the little rabbit.
04:34I began pounding on the car window like a mad woman.
04:39Help!
04:39My daughter is dying!
04:42Somebody help us!
04:45But on the highway, there was nothing but wind and snow.
04:51Nothing but wind and snow.
04:54Finally, the car pulled into a service station.
05:03Is there a doctor?
05:04My daughter is dying!
05:06Help us!
05:07The clerk froze.
05:09There's no doctor here.
05:10Call one!
05:11Now!
05:12The signal tower was destroyed by the blizzard.
05:15We can't get a call out.
05:16My legs gave out.
05:18I almost collapsed.
05:20The shop owner searched through the back and found some medicine.
05:25Try this.
05:26Aurora lay on my lap.
05:29Her breath was so faint, it felt like it could snap at any second.
05:34I tried to feed her, but she didn't even have the strength to swallow.
05:39The owner couldn't watch anymore.
05:42I'll drive you to the nearest clinic.
05:45But the roads might be blocked.
05:48Go!
05:48We have to go now!
05:50The car crawled through the deep snow.
05:53With every bump, Aurora's body grew limp.
05:57Aurora, you said you wanted to see the northern lights, remember?
06:00Mommy will take you.
06:02We'll take the fastest train, all the way to the Arctic Circle.
06:07Her eyelashes fluttered, but she never opened her eyes.
06:14Suddenly, my watch vibrated.
06:16Signal!
06:17With trembling hands, I dialed Damien's video calls.
06:21It rang for a long time.
06:24Finally, he picked up.
06:26Hello?
06:27The background was quiet.
06:29Damien, Aurora is sick.
06:32It's bad.
06:33Really bad.
06:34Where are you?
06:35On the way to a clinic.
06:37Please.
06:38You have to come.
06:40Didn't Mira pick you up yet?
06:44She didn't come!
06:45She never showed up!
06:47Possible.
06:48She just posted an update saying she's on her way.
06:50I opened the hologram projection on my watch.
06:54Mira's latest post from ten minutes ago.
06:56The location tag was at exit 87 on the interstate.
07:01112 kilometers away from us.
07:04She hadn't moved an inch.
07:06She was lying to you.
07:08And she was lying to me!
07:10Mira will be there soon.
07:12Just wait a little longer.
07:14Wait!
07:15We can't!
07:16Aurora is dying!
07:18Our daughter is dying, Damien!
07:21Clara, it's Christmas Eve.
07:23Don't say such unlucky things.
07:25No one is dying.
07:26Celesta and Briar just arrived.
07:28And my mom is very happy.
07:30Don't ruin the mood.
07:31Just go to the hospital when Mira gets there.
07:33Kids get fevers all the time.
07:35She's not going to die.
07:36He hung up.
07:38As the projection faded,
07:40my blood turned to ice.
07:41The shop owner looked at me through the rearview mirror.
07:44Your husband?
07:45I nodded.
07:48Scumbag.
07:50Hang on tight.
07:51I'm taking a shortcut.
07:56We're not letting this baby die.
07:59The car turned onto a mountain road.
08:02Aurora's breathing was almost gone.
08:04I checked her heartbeat.
08:06It was so weak it felt like an illusion.
08:08I pulled a button-sized communicator from my inner pocket.
08:13My father had given it to me.
08:15He said that once I pressed it,
08:18his people would arrive within three hours.
08:21Finally, we reached the nearest medical station.
08:25I burst into the emergency room, clutching Aurora.
08:31Acute pneumonia.
08:36Heart rate is dropping.
08:37Prepare for recitation.
08:39I was stopped outside the emergency room.
08:42Through the glass,
08:43I watched the doctors intubate Aurora
08:46and hook her up to the monitors.
08:48She looked like she could vanish at any second.
08:52I collapsed in the corner, shaking.
08:55My watch rang again.
08:58Clara, where are you?
09:00My mom is waiting for dinner.
09:02I struggled to find my voice.
09:04The clinic?
09:06Aurora is being resuscitated.
09:08What?
09:09Why are you at a clinic?
09:11Where's Mira?
09:12She never came.
09:14Impossible.
09:15She just messaged me saying she picked you up.
09:17He sent me a screenshot.
09:19It was a blurry photo from 20 minutes ago.
09:21In the passenger seat was a woman's back,
09:25wearing a jacket just like mine.
09:27She's lying, Damien.
09:28Come to the clinic.
09:30Now.
09:31Are you lying just because you're jealous of Celeste?
09:33Daughter is still being resuscitated?
09:35And you think this is jealous?
09:37What else?
09:38Why would Mira need to lie to me?
09:40Damien, if Aurora dies today,
09:42I will never forgive you as long as I live.
09:45Whatever, Clara.
09:47That's your choice.
09:49The call disconnected.
09:51I listened to the dial tone
09:53and slowly slid down to the floor.
09:55The ER doors swung open.
09:57We saved her, but
09:58she was deprived of oxygen for too long.
10:00There's significant brain damage.
10:02It could affect her cognitive development.
10:04She might even face permanent paralysis.
10:07I leaned against the wall to keep from collapsing.
10:11How is that possible?
10:13She's so small.
10:15She's just a baby.
10:18We did our best.
10:20You need to admit her now.
10:22The follow-up treatments won't be cheap.
10:24I walked to the payment kiosk,
10:26moving like a ghost.
10:27I tapped my wrist against the fencing.
10:30Insufficient funds.
10:32Damien only gave me $3,000 a month,
10:35claiming it was more than enough for a child.
10:37I called him,
10:39my hands trembling.
10:41Aurora needs surgery.
10:43I need $50,000.
10:44$50,000?
10:47Clara, do I look like an ATM to you?
10:49Damien, she is your daughter!
10:52Are you going to transfer the money or not?
10:54No.
10:55If you're so capable, earn it yourself.
10:57After Christmas, we're filing for divorce.
11:00The house is mine.
11:01You didn't put a cent in,
11:03so you get nothing.
11:04I stood there,
11:06staring at the clerk through the glass.
11:08Can you start the treatment first?
11:11I'll pay you back.
11:12I promise.
11:14I'm sorry.
11:15Facility policy,
11:16no deposit,
11:17no admission.
11:19I walked out of the clinic
11:21and stood in the freezing snow.
11:23My hologram flared to life.
11:26It was Felix.
11:28Clara!
11:29Where are you?
11:30Damien said Mira picked you guys up?
11:32Felix, do me a favor.
11:34If anything happens to me,
11:36take care of Aurora.
11:38What are you talking about?
11:39I have no money.
11:41Aurora has no hope.
11:42I can't keep her either.
11:44Just put her in the adoption system.
11:46At least she'll live.
11:47Clara, don't do anything reckless.
11:49Where are you?
11:49I'm coming now.
11:50Don't bother.
11:51I cut the connection
11:52and killed the hologram.
11:53I walked back to the ward.
11:55I'm sorry, baby,
11:57in the next life.
11:58Don't be mine.
12:00The clinic roof
12:01was a blur of wind and snow.
12:03From the edge,
12:04the world below looked tiny.
12:06One step,
12:07and the pain would finally end.
12:10I closed my eyes
12:11and let myself fall forward.
12:13Suddenly,
12:14a hand gripped my wrist.
12:17Suddenly,
12:18a hand gripped my wrist.
12:19A violent tug pulled me back.
12:21I collapsed onto the ground
12:23and looked up.
12:24Several men in black suits
12:25stood before me.
12:26Their leader,
12:26a man in his 50s,
12:28removed his sunglasses.
12:29His eyes were bloodshot.
12:31Clara.
12:34Todd.
12:35I was rushed onto
12:36a medical transport pod.
12:37Aurora was carried in
12:38right behind me
12:39and immediately taken over
12:40by a team of flight medics.
12:42Intracranial pressure is spiking.
12:44We need to operate now.
12:46Contact the main hospital.
12:47Open the neurosurgery green channel.
12:50Put the nano repair team
12:51on standby.
12:52My father held my hand,
12:54his own trembling uncontrollably.
12:56I'm sorry, Clara.
12:57Dad was too late.
12:59I'm so sorry.
13:00Dad,
13:01I thought you were just a
13:03farmer back in the village.
13:05He faltered,
13:06a bitter smile touching his lips.
13:10A farmer.
13:11That was a lie.
13:13You were so determined
13:14to marry Damien.
13:15I was afraid that
13:17if he knew we were wealthy,
13:18he'd only marry you
13:19for the money.
13:20So,
13:22I played poor for four years.
13:24I thought as long as
13:25he treated you well,
13:26it didn't matter
13:27if you lived simply.
13:29He looked at the unconscious Aurora,
13:31tears finally falling.
13:32But I never imagined,
13:33I never imagined
13:35they could be this heartless
13:36to abuse my granddaughter
13:37like this.
13:39Medical transport pod
13:40landed on the roof
13:41of Whitfield Medical Center.
13:43Aurora was rushed
13:44straight into surgery.
13:45The best specialists,
13:46the cutting edge equipment,
13:47everything was ready.
13:49My father stood outside
13:50the operating room
13:51and dialed an encrypted channel.
13:53Vance Group,
13:54I want to see their stock
13:55hit rock bottom
13:56before the market opens tomorrow.
13:58Terminate all partnerships,
14:00everything.
14:01and the banks,
14:03you know what to do.
14:05He hung up
14:06and sat beside me.
14:07Clara,
14:08I'm giving you two choices.
14:09First,
14:10divorce him,
14:12take the money
14:13and take Aurora abroad.
14:16Never look back.
14:19Second,
14:21stay.
14:22Watch the Vance family crumble.
14:26Watch Damien crawl to his knees
14:28and beg for your mercy.
14:30I thought for a moment.
14:32The second one.
14:34But I have one condition.
14:36Name it.
14:38Prepare two bionic decoys,
14:40one identical to me
14:41and one identical to Aurora.
14:44Make them look like
14:45they froze to death
14:46on the side of the highway.
14:48Dress them in the clothes
14:49we wore today
14:50and put her bio band
14:51and put her bio band
14:52on the decoy.
14:53You want to?
14:55I want them to think I'm dead.
14:59Then,
15:00I want to see exactly
15:01how they celebrate.
15:02I want to watch them
15:04throw a party
15:04while Aurora and I
15:06are dead.
15:07My father remained silent
15:09for a long time
15:10before nodding.
15:11Fine.
15:12The bionic decoys
15:14were incredibly lifelike.
15:16One large,
15:17one small,
15:18lying in the snow
15:18on the highway.
15:19When found,
15:20they were already
15:21frozen solid.
15:22An automated road patrol drone
15:24discovered them
15:25and flagged
15:25the nearest highway patrol.
15:27Based on the ID
15:28found on the body,
15:29the police contacted Damien.
15:31The call came through
15:32while the Vance family
15:33was having Christmas dinner.
15:34The table was overflowing
15:36with food,
15:36filled with laughter.
15:38Celeste sat next to Damien,
15:40putting food on his plate.
15:41Priscilla beamed,
15:42stroking Briar's hair.
15:43Celeste is so much better.
15:45Even the daughter she raised
15:46are well behaved,
15:47unlike that brat Clara had.
15:50Always crying,
15:51never obedient.
15:52An absolute nuisance.
15:54Damien's wrist vibrated.
15:55He glanced at it,
15:56frowning.
15:57The police?
16:01Hello?
16:03Is this Mr. Damien Vance?
16:05Is your wife Clara
16:06currently on the highway
16:07with your daughter?
16:08Yes, why?
16:09We found two bodies
16:10by the roadside.
16:12Preliminary assessment
16:13suggests they froze to death.
16:15The female victim
16:16has an ID card
16:17identifying her as Clara.
16:19There is also a female child,
16:20approximately three years old.
16:22We need you to come
16:23and identify them.
16:24What did you say?
16:26Sir,
16:26your wife and daughter.
16:28They didn't make it.
16:29The dinner table fell silent.
16:31Priscilla asked,
16:32Who is it?
16:33Calling during the holidays.
16:35It's bad luck.
16:36Damien stood up,
16:37his face pale.
16:38Claire and Aurora?
16:40Froze to death?
16:41By the time Damien reached the morgue,
16:44his legs were like jelly.
16:45The police led him
16:46into the cold storage room.
16:48The drawer pulled open,
16:49revealing two bodies,
16:51one large,
16:52one small.
16:53Is it them?
16:54Damien opened his mouth,
16:55but no sound came out.
16:56He reached out,
16:57wanting to touch my face,
16:59his hand shaking violently.
17:00It's impossible.
17:03Mira said she went to pick them up.
17:05The officer pulled up
17:06the records on his terminal.
17:08We checked the automated
17:09highway patrol logs.
17:11Your sister's car
17:12never even entered the highway.
17:13She drove in circles
17:14around the city
17:15before heading home.
17:17Furthermore,
17:18the victim's final
17:19outgoing call was to you.
17:22It was at 7 p.m. last night.
17:24She told you the child was sick
17:26and begged for help.
17:27You said,
17:28you said,
17:29if you're so capable,
17:31earn it yourself.
17:32I thought,
17:33I thought she was lying.
17:35I,
17:36I didn't know
17:37she was actually.
17:38And if you had known,
17:40would you have gone?
17:42There was a heavy silence.
17:44Damien had no answer.
17:46The morgue doors swung open
17:47as Priscilla burst in.
17:49She froze for a moment
17:50upon seeing the bodies
17:51then collapsed onto the floor,
17:53wailing and slapping her thighs.
17:55Oh, my granddaughter,
17:56my poor baby.
17:58How could you leave me like this?
18:00After a few cries,
18:01she abruptly stopped
18:02and grabbed Damien.
18:03Son,
18:03this is actually a good thing.
18:05It's a blessing in disguise.
18:07Now that Clara's dead,
18:08you can finally marry Celeste.
18:09Mom,
18:10that was my daughter.
18:12So what if she was your daughter?
18:13She's dead now.
18:14This is perfect.
18:15Now we don't have to worry
18:16about splitting the assets
18:18in a divorce.
18:19Ma'am,
18:19these are two human lives
18:20we're talking about.
18:21What about them?
18:21This is family business.
18:23It's none of your concern.
18:24Let's go.
18:25Celeste is still waiting
18:25for us to finish dinner.
18:27Damien allowed himself
18:28to be pulled away
18:29for a moment.
18:29Then he looked back
18:31at the cold storage unit.
18:33Wait.
18:34He shook off his mother's hand
18:35and walked back.
18:36He knelt beside the bodies
18:37for a long time.
18:38Then he reached out,
18:40gently smoothing the hair
18:41and straightening the clothes
18:42on the decoy.
18:43Clara,
18:44I'm so sorry.
18:47I was wrong.
18:48I really,
18:49I didn't know
18:50it would end like this.
18:51Why are you apologizing
18:53to her?
18:54It's her own fault
18:55for having such a short life.
18:56She deserved it.
18:58Shut up.
19:00Damien stood up
19:00and addressed the officer.
19:02I'm taking the bodies back.
19:04I'm going to hold
19:05a grand funeral.
19:07Two flickering lamps
19:08stood by the Vance Estate entrance.
19:10The viewing room
19:11was in the side hall
19:12right next to the room
19:13I lived in before.
19:15Celeste and Briar
19:16had already moved
19:17into the master suite.
19:18The whole house
19:18was busy catering to them,
19:20but Damien,
19:21he sat in the viewing room
19:22guarding the caskets.
19:24Two cryo caskets
19:25side by side,
19:26cold and silent.
19:27Mira showed up once.
19:28He kicked her out.
19:29Get out.
19:30Damien,
19:31I didn't mean it.
19:33I was just out
19:34with friends
19:35and lost track of time.
19:37Damien looked at her,
19:38his eyes bloodshot
19:39with rage.
19:40How was I supposed
19:41to know
19:41they would actually die?
19:43You lost track of time?
19:45Two lives are gone
19:46and you think
19:47losing track of time
19:47fixes it?
19:48Then what do you want
19:49from me?
19:50You want me to die
19:51for her?
19:52Is she even worth it?
19:54She was just
19:55a low-class woman.
19:56she's gone,
19:57so what?
19:57Damien struck her hard.
19:59Mira froze in shock.
20:01Get out!
20:02If I ever see
20:03your face again,
20:04you are no longer
20:05my sister.
20:06Then Celeste arrived.
20:07Damien,
20:07please,
20:08let it go.
20:10I'm sure she wouldn't
20:11want to see you like this
20:11from the other side.
20:13Damien looked up
20:13at her,
20:14cold as ice.
20:15Do you know
20:15what they were doing
20:16while you were celebrating?
20:17I was at your house
20:19having dinner.
20:23They were in the snow
20:24waiting to die.
20:28Waiting for someone
20:29who was never coming
20:30to save them.
20:31Celeste turned pale.
20:32That was your sister's fault!
20:34What does that have to do
20:34with me?
20:35With me!
20:36Your mother was the one
20:37who insisted I come back
20:38for Christmas.
20:38I wouldn't have gone
20:39through the trouble
20:40of traveling for the holidays
20:41if it wasn't for her!
20:42And besides,
20:43you're the one
20:44who kicked them
20:44out of the car!
20:45Right.
20:45You went through
20:46so much trouble.
20:47But they froze to death.
20:49They literally froze to death.
20:50Celeste went silent.
20:52Damien stood up
20:53and walked to the cryo casket,
20:54gently brushing his hand
20:55against the cold glass.
20:57I keep thinking,
20:58what if I had just
20:59answered that video call?
21:01What if I had gone
21:02to pick them up?
21:03What if I hadn't
21:04said those things?
21:05Celeste bit her lip
21:06and turned to leave.
21:07Damien,
21:07don't forget,
21:08I'm the one
21:09carrying the family heir now.
21:11That dead woman?
21:11She's useless now.
21:13The heavy doors
21:14of the viewing room
21:15clicked shut.
21:16Damien collapsed,
21:17sliding down
21:18against the side
21:19of the casket
21:19until he hit the floor.
21:20On the surveillance feed,
21:22I watched his shoulders shake.
21:23How pathetic.
21:25He didn't care
21:26when we were breathing.
21:26Now that we're dead,
21:28he acts like he has a heart.
21:29I raised my wrist
21:30and sent an encrypted message
21:31to my father.
21:32Can we start?
21:33My father's reply
21:34popped up instantly.
21:35Anytime.
21:36The Vance Group's empire
21:38began to collapse.
21:39First,
21:40their biggest client
21:41abruptly canceled
21:42their contract,
21:42jumping ship
21:43to sign a 10-year deal
21:44with a rival.
21:45Then,
21:46the banks pulled
21:47their credit line,
21:48snapping the company's
21:49financial backbone.
21:50Suppliers swarmed
21:51the headquarters
21:52demanding payment
21:53all at once.
21:54Damien was drowning.
21:56He started sleeping
21:57at the office
21:57every night.
21:58Priscilla screamed at him
22:00through the comms.
22:01You're never home!
22:02What if Celeste
22:03gets upset?
22:04The company is dying.
22:06do you even understand?
22:08So what if it is?
22:09We have plenty of money.
22:11Mom,
22:11we're about to be bankrupt.
22:12The house,
22:13the cars,
22:14the accounts,
22:14it's all being liquidated
22:15to pay the debt.
22:16Soon you might not even
22:17be able to afford a meal.
22:18That's impossible.
22:19Is it?
22:21Damien cut the transmission.
22:22He sat in his office
22:24staring out the window
22:25at the skyline.
22:26Everything he had built
22:27over the last 10 years
22:28gone overnight.
22:30Suddenly,
22:31his wristband vibrated.
22:32An encrypted string
22:33of numbers
22:33flashed on the display.
22:35No hologram.
22:36No ID.
22:39A man's voice
22:41came through the comms.
22:42Mr. Vance,
22:44did you receive my gift?
22:47Who is this?
22:48You don't need to know
22:49who I am.
22:50You just need to know
22:51that this is only
22:52the beginning.
22:53The debt you owe
22:55will be paid
22:56with the entire Vance group.
22:58The connection
22:59cut to static.
23:00Damien tried to dial back
23:02but a gray notification
23:03flashed on his terminal.
23:04The ID you are trying
23:06to reach does not exist.
23:08His hand began to shake
23:09as he gripped the device.
23:11Vance group officially
23:12entered bankruptcy liquidation.
23:14The estate,
23:15the cars,
23:16every single asset
23:17was auctioned off.
23:18Priscilla was forced
23:19out of the mansion
23:20and into a cramped rental unit.
23:23Celeste took Briar
23:24and left,
23:24clutching the last bit
23:25of credit she could scavenge.
23:26I can't suffer with you.
23:28Damien,
23:29Briar has her schooling
23:30to think about.
23:33Damien moved
23:33into the small side wing
23:35where the caskets
23:35were kept.
23:36He had managed
23:36to keep the cryo units.
23:38He spread a blanket
23:39on the floor
23:39and slept right there
23:40beside them.
23:42Mira came to find him once.
23:43You've thrown away
23:44the entire family empire
23:46for a dead woman!
23:47How can you do this
23:49to Mom?
23:49Then who is going
23:50to make things right
23:51for Clara?
23:53Damien looked at her,
23:54his voice a ghost
23:55of its former self.
23:56Who is going to make it
23:58right for Aurora?
23:59Mira never came back.
24:01Damien started looking
24:02for work.
24:02But in this city,
24:04the reputation
24:04of a bankrupt CEO
24:05spreads faster
24:06than a virus.
24:07No one would hire him.
24:09He ended up
24:09at a construction site
24:10in the Old District,
24:12$200 a day,
24:13working until his back
24:14felt like it would snap.
24:15At night,
24:16he'd return to the viewing room
24:17and eat cheap bread
24:17from a convenience store.
24:19Then he'd sit by the caskets
24:20and talk to himself.
24:21Clara,
24:22the foreman yelled
24:23at me today.
24:24Said I was weak.
24:26Said I didn't work
24:27like a real man.
24:30I remembered how you used
24:31to tell me to slow down,
24:33but my health
24:34was more important.
24:35I thought you were
24:36just nagging,
24:38nagging back then.
24:41Now I realize
24:44you were the only one
24:45who actually cared about me.
24:47He pulled out
24:48a crumpled cigarette
24:49and lit it.
24:50If Aurora were still here,
24:51she'd be starting
24:52preschool about now.
24:53Clara,
24:54you always said
24:55you wanted her
24:55to take piano lessons.
24:58I told you
24:59it was a waste of money.
25:00I'm such a scumbag.
25:01The cigarette
25:02burned down to his fingers,
25:03but he didn't even feel it.
25:04In the surveillance room,
25:06my father looked at me.
25:08Have you seen enough?
25:09I shook my head.
25:10No,
25:11I've seen enough.
25:12Get everything ready.
25:14I'm going back
25:15to the company next week.
25:16You're taking over?
25:17Yes.
25:18The Vance Group
25:19has fallen.
25:20My debt is settled.
25:22It's time to start
25:23my own life now.
25:24My father nodded.
25:25Fine,
25:26but there's one thing
25:27you should know.
25:27What is it?
25:29Damien is looking for you.
25:30It looks like he figured out
25:31the android double
25:32was a fake.
25:33And Damien had.
25:34While going through
25:35my remains,
25:36he found something
25:37that didn't add up.
25:38Tucked inside the pocket
25:39of my old winter coat
25:40was a crumpled store receipt.
25:42The date on it
25:42was three days
25:43after I had supposedly died.
25:45It was for a strawberry
25:46shortcake,
25:47Aurora's favorite,
25:48dead people
25:49don't buy cake.
25:51Damien stared at the receipt,
25:52his hands trembling violently.
25:54I was the one
25:55who made sure he found it.
25:56He went straight
25:57to that bakery
25:58to check the security footage.
25:59On the screen,
26:00a woman in a mask
26:01was holding
26:01a little girl's hand.
26:03Even with her face covered,
26:04that silhouette,
26:06that walk,
26:07it was Clara and Aurora.
26:08Damien sprinted out
26:09of the store
26:10like a madman.
26:11He went everywhere
26:12we used to go,
26:13the parks,
26:14the malls,
26:14the playground.
26:16Finally,
26:16outside a private preschool,
26:17he saw Aurora.
26:19She was wearing
26:19a pink dress
26:20with her hair
26:21and pigtails.
26:21A man in a suit
26:22was holding her hand,
26:23leading her toward a car.
26:26Aurora!
26:27Aurora froze
26:28and immediately hid
26:29behind the man in the suit.
26:30Damien tried to grab her,
26:31but the man blocked him.
26:32Sir,
26:32what are you doing?
26:33That's my daughter!
26:35Where's Clara?
26:36Where's her mother?
26:37I don't know anyone
26:38named Clara.
26:39This is my employer's daughter.
26:41Move aside.
26:42Damien didn't believe him.
26:43He reached out
26:44to pull Aurora toward him.
26:46Suddenly,
26:47Aurora burst into tears.
26:48Batman!
26:49You're a bad man!
26:50You made Mommy cry!
26:52Damien went stiff.
26:54Aurora,
26:56I'm your daddy.
26:57No,
26:58you're not!
26:59My daddy is dead!
27:02Mommy said so!
27:04She said he didn't want us
27:06and now he's dead!
27:09Damien looked like
27:10he'd been struck by lightning.
27:12Just then,
27:12a sleek black sedan
27:14pulled up to the curb.
27:15The window rolled down slowly.
27:17I sat in the backseat
27:18watching them.
27:19Long time no see, Damien.
27:21Damien turned.
27:22When he saw me,
27:23his pupils blown wide
27:24with shock.
27:25Clara!
27:26You're really...
27:27You're not dead!
27:28I stepped out of the car,
27:30walked over to Aurora
27:31and swept her into my arms.
27:32No thanks to you,
27:33I'm still breathing.
27:35Mommy!
27:36That scary man
27:37tried to grab me!
27:38It's okay, baby.
27:39Mommy's here.
27:40You played me.
27:42You lied to me
27:43this whole time.
27:45I did.
27:46The android double
27:47was a fake.
27:48My death was a setup.
27:50How else was I supposed
27:51to make you feel
27:52what it's like
27:52to lose everything?
27:53How could you be so cruel?
27:56Cruel?
27:56Damien,
27:57were you cruel
27:58when you kicked your wife
27:58and daughter
27:59out onto the highway
28:00in a blizzard?
28:00Were you cruel
28:01when you refused
28:02to pay for her medical bills?
28:04Damien opened his mouth
28:05but no sound came out.
28:06talk to you
