Short filmTranscript
00:00My daughter died. She died in a mall hostage crisis.
00:03My husband was the SWAT sniper on the rooftop across the street.
00:06He chose to save his ex-girlfriend's daughter first.
00:09By the time he went for mine, it was too late.
00:11Right before she died, my daughter asked me,
00:13Mommy, isn't Daddy the best sniper in the world? Why couldn't he see me?
00:19I couldn't answer. At the funeral, I called Jason. He picked up and said,
00:23Emma, can you not do this right now? Emily and her daughter just went through something terrible.
00:27They're traumatized. This isn't the time to be jealous.
00:29Then he hung up. I sat in my wheelchair, staring at Mia's name on the headstone.
00:33Then looked down at my empty left pant leg. My leg was gone, crushed when the mall collapsed.
00:37I knew right then. This marriage was over. That Saturday.
00:40I took Mia to the new mall downtown. She wanted a doll. Said it was for her birthday.
00:44Her birthday was still three months away, but she said,
00:46Better early than sorry.
00:48She was six. She already talked like a little adult.
00:51When the gunshot started, we were on the third floor, in the toy store, picking out a doll.
00:55Not one. A lot of them. Coming from the first floor. Mixed with screams and the sound of glass
01:00breaking. My first instinct wasn't to run. I am a forensic pathologist. I've seen too many
01:05shooting victims. I know running is the most dangerous thing you can do. I grabbed Mia's
01:09wrist, pulled her behind a shelf, and crouched down. Don't make a sound. My voice was low.
01:14Steady. Mia's eyes went wide. She didn't cry. She just hugged the doll to her chest and pressed her
01:18body against mine. I pulled out my phone and texted Jason. Downtown mall. Shooter. Mia and I are on the
01:23third
01:23floor in the toy store. Then another one. Where are you? He replied in under a minute.
01:27I'm on scene. Rooftop across the street. Don't move. Wait for me. I looked out the third floor
01:32window and saw it. The sniper position markers on the rooftop across the street. I felt this wave
01:36of relief. That we're safe now. Feeling. What I didn't know was that his scope was aimed right at
01:40the toy store entrance. But he wasn't looking at me. He was looking at Emily. There were three shooters.
01:44They stormed in from the first floor, shot the security guard, and took control of them all.
01:48Dozens of hostages. Most on the first floor. Some on the second and third. SWAT showed up.
01:53Negotiators showed up. Jason was on the rooftop across the street. Best sightline in the area.
01:57His orders. If the shooters started executing people, take the shot. The shooters were on the
02:02third floor. The third floor had a toy store. And inside that toy store, there was a woman on the
02:07ground, holding a child. That woman was Emily. That child was Lily. Jason recognized them through his
02:12scope. Emily was his ex. They went to the academy together, dated for three years. She had to leave after
02:17an injury. Switched to admin. They broke up because her family didn't approve. Jason was an orphan. No
02:22connections. No future. Emily married someone else. Had Lily. Got divorced. When she moved back to the
02:27city, Jason was already married to me. But he never let her go. Not in a cheating way. It was
02:32worse than
02:32that. He felt sorry for her. Single mom. Bad health. Low salary. No family to help. So he helped fix
02:37her
02:38pipes. Paid her medical bills. Picked Lily up from preschool. Every time I said, can you spend more
02:43time with Mia? Mia has you. Emily has nobody. I thought he cared about me. Later, I realized he
02:49didn't help Emily out of kindness. He helped her because he was still in love with her. He'd never
02:52stopped. The shooters started clearing the floors. They split the first floor hostages into two groups.
02:57One group knelt by the entrance as human shields. The other got moved to the second floor. Women and
03:01children got pulled aside and sent up to the third. I heard footsteps getting closer. Someone was counting
03:05heads on the third floor. People were being dragged out of stores and pushed into the hallway.
03:09Toy store. Out. A shooter walked into the toy store. He saw Emily and Lily and pointed his gun at
03:15the
03:15door. Emily stood up, holding Lily, and walked out. Her legs were shaking. She moved slow. The
03:20shooter stepped further in. He saw me and Mia. You. Out. I stood up. My legs were numb from crouching.
03:26My knees buckled for a second, but I caught myself. I picked Mia up. She wrapped her arms around my
03:30neck
03:30and buried her face in my shoulder. We followed Emily and Lily into the hallway. There were already a dozen
03:34or so people out there. All women and children. I found a corner. Crouched down and put Mia on the
03:39floor
03:39in front of me. I used my body to shield her. Emily was right next to us. She crouched down
03:43too,
03:44setting Lily beside her. Lily was crying. Small, quiet sobs, like a kitten. Emily put her hand over
03:48Lily's mouth. Tears rolled down her own face. Emily turned and saw me. Her eyes went wide. Emma? I
03:53didn't say anything. You're here too? Mia's here? I still didn't say anything. The lead shooter started
03:58calling names. He had a list. He read them one by one. The people whose names got called stepped forward
04:02and stood against the wall. He called five names. Five people stepped out. Then he stopped. He looked at Emily.
04:07You. Come here. Emily didn't move. Her whole body was shaking. I said come here. Emily stood up.
04:12She set Lily on the ground. Mommy will be right back, she whispered. Lily grabbed her sleeve.
04:18Emily pried her daughter's fingers off and walked toward the shooter. He grabbed her by the hair
04:22and yanked her to the middle of the hallway. Pressed the gun to her head. Tell them outside to get
04:27the
04:27car ready or I kill you first. Then I kill your daughter. Emily's eyes squeezed shut. Her lips trembled,
04:34but she didn't cry. I watched from the corner. Mia was in my arms. Her little fingers twisted in my
04:39shirt. Her nails dug into my skin. The shooter shoved Emily back. She stumbled to the corner,
04:44crouched down, and pulled Lily into her arms again. Her face was white. Her lips had no color.
04:49Mia whispered, Mommy, is Daddy here? Yes. He's on the rooftop across the street. Is he going to save us?
04:58Yes. Yes. Mia nodded. She believed me. She always did. Then the lead shooter changed his mind.
05:03Somehow he found out there was no car, that the cops had been lying to him. He lost it. He
05:08yanked the
05:08charging handle on the gun he had pressed to Emily's head. Tell them one minute! One minute,
05:13or I shoot! Emily screamed. Her daughter screamed too. I heard someone on a radio yelling.
05:19Stay calm. We're getting it ready. But the shooter wasn't listening. He started counting down.
05:2360, 50, 40. The air in the hallway got thin. Everyone stopped breathing. Mia grabbed my hand.
05:32Squeezed so tight. 30, 20. The shooter clicked off the safety. 10, 9, 8.
05:39Not from the shooter, from outside. A bullet punched through the third floor glass and hit the lead
05:44shooter in the shoulder. He went down, but the other two shooters immediately started firing.
05:49Bullets ripped through the doorway. Hit the wall. Hit the shelves. Hit the ceiling. Dust and debris
05:55ran down. I couldn't see. Someone was screaming. Someone was running. I grabbed Mia's hand and ran
06:00for the stairwell. Her little legs couldn't keep up. I bent down to pick her up, but I was wearing
06:05heels
06:05and there was broken glass everywhere. I slipped. I fell. Mia's hand slipped out of mine. She hit the
06:10ground. Mia! Come to me! She crawled toward me on her hands and knees. Her hand stretched out,
06:16inches away from her fingers. Then the ceiling. A slab of concrete fell. It landed on my left leg.
06:22The shockwave threw her against the wall. She hit hard. Then she didn't move.
06:28Mia? I screamed. She didn't move. Mia! Still nothing. I tried to crawl to her, but my left leg
06:34was pinned. I pushed at the concrete slab. It didn't budge. I clawed at the rubble with my bare hands.
06:39My nails broke. Blood seeped from my fingertips. I couldn't reach her. I just lay there on the ground,
06:44arms stretched out. Unable to touch my daughter. She was three meters away. Eyes closed. A line of
06:49blood at the corner of her mouth. Daddy! Mia screamed. The last thing she ever said. Then she went still.
06:57Jason heard the gunfire and the explosion from the rooftop. His scope view was blocked by smoke and
07:01dust. The radio came to life. All snipers cease fire. Wait for further instructions. He lowered his gun.
07:08The first thing he asked. Did Emily and Lily get out? The spotter Tom told me later. Jason asked three
07:16times. He didn't ask about me or Mia once. When Jason came down from the rooftop, Emily was already by
07:21the
07:21ambulance. She was sitting on the curb, holding Lily. Her face was gray with dust, but she didn't
07:26have a scratch. Jason ran over. Are you okay? What about Lily? She's fine. Just scared. Jason exhaled. He got
07:34in
07:34the ambulance with them. He went to the hospital. He got Emily and Lily a VIP room. Lily wasn't even
07:39hurt. Just scared. But Emily insisted. She needed to be admitted. For observation. Jason ran around
07:45doing everything. Bought food for Lily. Poured water for Emily. Watched cartoons with Lily. He slept on
07:50the VIP room couch. He didn't know I was in the same hospital. Didn't know I was on the third
07:55floor in
07:55the ICU. Didn't know my left leg was gone. Didn't know I was covered in injuries. He didn't know
08:00Mia was in the morgue. He stayed on the fifth floor for three days. Never went down to the third.
08:05He
08:05passed it on the elevator when he went to buy food for Emily. The doors opened. The doors closed. He
08:10never stepped out. For three days, I lay on a bed on the third floor and asked the nurses the
08:14same
08:15question over and over. Where is my daughter? Every time the nurse looked down. On the third day,
08:20a nurse finally told me the truth. I'm so sorry. Your daughter Mia didn't make it. I didn't say
08:27anything. My throat closed up. My lips trembled. My teeth chattered. My ears rang. The doctor kept
08:33talking but I couldn't hear him. Mia. Dead. Those two words spun in my head until I got dizzy.
08:39Where is she? The morgue. The morgue. Mia was scared of the dark. She slept with a nightlight every
08:44night. Now she was alone down there. No light. No mom. Where's my husband? He's on the fifth floor.
08:50The fifth floor. Emily's VIP room. Mia was in the morgue. He was on the fifth floor. The nurse wheeled
08:56me to the
08:56morgue. Mia lay on a stainless steel table. A white sheet covered her to the shoulders. I reached out
09:01and touched her face. Cold. Mia. Mia. I said it a lot of times. She never answered. That same day,
09:08the fire department came to the hospital looking for Jason. We need you to come identify a body.
09:12Whose? Female child. Six years old. Pulled from the rubble. No ID on her. We need someone to confirm.
09:17Jason went with them. He walked into the morgue. He didn't know yet. The morgue lights were white,
09:21bright. There was a small figure on a stainless steel table. White sheet to the shoulders. A small
09:26face. Jason walked closer. He saw that face. Purple. Swollen. Dried blood at the corner of her mouth.
09:31He knew that face. That was Mia's face. His daughter's face. His legs gave out. He hit the floor.
09:37He opened his mouth. No sound came out. Then he started shaking. His fingers first. Then his whole body.
09:43He finally said. No. No. No. No. He crawled to her. Grabbed her hand. Cold. He pressed her hand to
09:52his
09:52face. Her fingers were still curled. Like she'd been holding something. The blonde doll. When they
09:58pulled her out of the rubble. She was still holding it. Jason started crying. Not tears. Wailing. The kind
10:04of sound that doesn't sound human. Like an animal that has been hit by a car. He laid his body
10:09over Mia's
10:09and cried until he gagged. Daddy was wrong. Daddy's sorry. Please look at Daddy. Mia didn't look at
10:17her. She never would again. He cried for a long time. Two people had to pull him off the floor.
10:22His face was covered in tears and snot. He crouched in the hallway outside the morgue. Held his head in
10:27his hands. Then he remembered me. Jason ran to the curb floor. I was already back from the morgue. He
10:34stood
10:35outside my room. Didn't come in. He walked in. Dropped to his knees. Beside my bed. Emma. Emma. Mia. Do
10:42you
10:42know what her last word was? He froze. She said Daddy. She thought you were coming to save her. She
10:47was
10:47reaching for me from under the rubble. She couldn't reach me. So she called for you. She called a lot
10:52of
10:52times. Where were you? You were on the fifth floor. Buying food for someone else's daughter. Sleeping on a VIP
10:58couch. Watching cartoons with Lily. I didn't know. I didn't know she was in the morgue. I didn't know you
11:04were in
11:04this hospital. I thought. You thought I was being dramatic. You thought I was making problems again.
11:09You didn't make one phone call. Jason dropped his head. His shoulders shook. He cried ugly.
11:13Snot and tears everywhere. His whole body collapsed against my bed. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm
11:18sorry. He said it a lot of times. I didn't look at him. My brother Ethan flew in from Chicago
11:22the next
11:23day. He walked into my room. Looked at my missing leg. Looked at Jason kneeling by my bed refusing to
11:29leave. And his jaw went tight. Out. Jason didn't move. I said out. Jason stood up and walked out. He
11:37stood in the hallway. Didn't leave. Ethan closed the door. Saturday on my bed. Took my hand.
11:45Emma. I'm getting you a lawyer. I'm handling me as arrangements. Don't worry about anything except
11:51getting better. What about Jason? Divorce. He already knew. I was in the hospital for 10 days. Jason came
11:59in the hallway. Too scared to come in. Ethan wouldn't let him. So he just stood there for
12:04hours. Are you family? I'm her husband. She doesn't want to see you. I know. I'll just
12:08stand here. On the fourth day, Ethan stepped out. Jason came in. He was carrying a thermos.
12:15I made you chicken noodle soup. Used to like my soup. Emma, I know nothing I say matters. Mia's not
12:21coming back. Your leg's not coming back. But I stopped paying for Emily's rent. I stopped answering
12:25her calls. I deleted her. I quit the SWAT team. Your scope was on the toy store. You saw Emily
12:31and Lily. And you saw me and Mia. And you chose to save them first. I... You chose her. You've
12:39always chosen her. Jason dropped his head. He didn't say anything. He didn't deny it. I had
12:44Ethan draft the divorce papers. I kept the house. The car. Every dollar Jason had sent Emily during
12:50the marriage. I wanted it back. I signed. When Jason saw the papers, he went completely
12:55still. Emma, I'm not signing. Then I'll sue. Sue all you want. I'm not divorcing you.
13:02Why? You never loved me. You married me because I was convenient. But your heart... Your heart
13:08was always with Emily. That day, in your scope, you saw her. Your first thought wasn't about
13:14saving people. It was that she couldn't die. So you saved her first. Jason dropped to his
13:20knees. He grabbed my hand. Emma, I know I messed up. The biggest mistake of my life was making
13:28that choice. I'm not asking you to forgive me, but don't push me away. Let me try to make
13:33this right. I don't need you to take care of me. I need you to sign. He didn't sign.
13:40The funeral was 14 days after the hostage crisis. Jason showed up in a black suit, dark circles
13:46under his eyes. Can I come? You're her father. At the cemetery, Jason knelt in front of Mia's
13:52headstone. He didn't get up. The service happened. He stayed on his knees. People placed flowers.
13:58He stayed on his knees. Everyone left. He stayed on his knees. He knelt for a long time. When the
14:03sky
14:03started to get dark, he stood up and walked over to me. Emma, I know you won't forgive me. I
14:09don't
14:09deserve it. But I'll wait. One year. Ten years. Forever.
14:19That day will never come.
14:22Then I'll wait forever.
14:24Jason started writing me letters every day. Not texts. Handwritten letters. He left them
14:28in my mailbox. Every morning, there was one.
14:31Emma, I went to see Mia today. I brought pink roses. She liked pink. I never knew that before.
14:37Now I know. Too late. Emma, I walked past the mall today. It's open again. I stood outside
14:45for a long time. I couldn't go in. I'm too scared. Emma, I went to AA. I can't sleep at
14:52night. I can only close my eyes if I drink. I'm working on it. Emma, I blocked Emily.
14:58She kept calling from different numbers. I didn't answer a single one. I should have done this a long
15:02time ago. I put every letter in a box. I never wrote back. Not once. Six months passed. I got
15:09better with my prosthetic. Every week, I went to Rose Hill Cemetery. I brought pink roses. Jason
15:15went every week, too. We never showed up at the same time. He told me later he did that on
15:19purpose.
15:20One day, I went early. I saw his car parked outside. I didn't go in. I sat in my car
15:24and waited
15:25for him to leave. When he came out, I saw him. He'd lost a lot of weight. He looked old.
15:29He walked
15:30with a limp. I felt bad for him in that moment. But feeling bad isn't the same as forgiveness.
15:34I waited until he left. Then I went in. There were flowers on Mia's grave. Pink ones. And a doll.
15:40New. Blonde hair. Pink dress. Mia always loved blonde dolls. Another year passed. My brother
15:46Ethan introduced me to someone. His name was Daniel. He owned a coffee shop. Didn't talk much. Could cook.
15:52He knew about everything. Ethan had told him. He didn't ask questions. Didn't give advice. Didn't judge.
15:57When I woke up from nightmares, he shook me awake and handed me a glass of water and said,
16:02You okay? I'm here. One day he asked,
16:05Do you want to go see Mia? I stared at him. He said,
16:08I'd like to meet her, if that's okay.
16:13I took him to Rose Hill Cemetery. There were already pink roses on Mia's grave. I knew who left them.
16:18Daniel didn't ask. He put his flowers next to hers, crouched down, said,
16:22Hey Mia. I'm Daniel. Your mom talks about you all the time. She says you loved blonde dolls. I'll bring
16:30you one next time.
16:32Not because I was sad. Because Mia once said,
16:35Mommy, when you look at the left lens, when I grow up, I want to find someone like Daddy, but
16:41better than Daddy.
16:44Daniel wasn't Jason. He was better. So much better. That night, I wrote Jason a letter. My first one back.
16:51I told him I was getting married. That Daniel was good. That he didn't have to keep visiting Mia's grave
16:56anymore.
16:56I never sent it. I put it in the box with the other letters. Then I picked up my phone
17:00and texted Daniel, I want a latte tomorrow. He replied in one second.
17:04What time? The wedding was in the spring. At Rose Hill Cemetery. On Mia's grave, there were pink roses. And
17:11a little blonde doll.
17:12Daniel crouched down, straightened the doll and said,
17:14Mia, your mom looks beautiful today. I'll take good care of her.
17:19I stood behind him in my wedding dress. My prosthetic was hidden under the skirt. The wind blew. Petals fell
17:24on Mia's headstone.
17:25We turned and walked down the hill. There was a car parked outside the cemetery gates, black old. A man
17:30stood next to it. Jason, so thin. Half his hair white.
17:33He held out a box. Inside were Mia's drawings. And two strawberry hair ties.
17:38Is he good to you? Jason asked. Yes. He's good. Good.
17:47He turned and walked away. I put my hand on my stomach. Three months. A girl. I wanted to name
17:52her Mia. Not to replace her. To remember her.
