Short filmTranscript
00:00Today is our third wedding anniversary. I got my husband a little surprise. I couldn't wait to see the look
00:06on his face.
00:07Relax, I'm definitely divorcing her.
00:11She's already been through two divorces. The entire Upper East Side has judged her for it already.
00:16There's no way she'd dare go through a third one.
00:18You really know how to play this. Giving her divorce papers on April Fool's Day?
00:23Even if she loses it afterward, you can just say it was a joke, sweet tucker a bit, and she'll
00:27forgive you.
00:29What's she actually going to do? Don't forget the promise we made senior year.
00:34Lila's wedding is next week. For her last bachelorette party, every one of us has to be senior.
00:38The surprise was on me. Three marriages, three men I'd do anything for.
00:42And this is how they repay me? With a toast and a laugh.
00:46Joey, I need your help. My grandfather trusts you. The Carmichael name means everything to him.
00:49If you marry me, he'll hand me the inheritance. Please.
00:52Joey, they're forcing me into a marriage I don't want. You're the only one who can help.
00:55If they think I'm already married, they'll back off.
00:56Sure. When do we go? I never imagined that every sacrifice I made for them would one day become
01:01the reason they believed they could manipulate me so easily. Then I went home to the man who just
01:06told his friends she won't make a scene. I would have picked you up. Have you eaten?
01:10I already did. Oh, right, babe. There's something I need to discuss with you.
01:14We need to separate our assets for a while. So this is what it felt like to be the easiest
01:17person to handle. The company's been having some issues lately. We need to separate our assets for a
01:23while. The lawyers on Wall Street suggested we only do it on paper without actually separating.
01:28In the short time I'd been gone, he'd already prepared everything.
01:31Once things calm down, we'll remarry. It'll only be for a few months. I know this is sudden,
01:37but Sebastian and Ethan called me earlier today. They kept implying that when you helped them before,
01:43you never hesitated. But somehow with me, it's different.
01:46They even joked that a woman who's already been divorced twice would never dare go through a third
01:50one said you wouldn't have the guts. I've already thought it through. Tomorrow happens to be April
01:55Fool's Day. We'll go file tomorrow, throw the divorce papers in their faces, scare the hell out
02:00of them, and see if they ever dare underestimate you again. Besides, it's April Fool's Day. Everything
02:04can be brushed off as a joke. Once the company gets through this rough pitch, we'll officially remarry.
02:08Nobody will say a thing. There was expectation in his eyes now, and just the right amount of
02:13vulnerability. Babe, you wouldn't really let them look down on me, would you? I stared into his eyes
02:19for a very long time. Those same eyes, clinking glasses with them an hour ago. I won't.
02:26Then get some rest. Tomorrow morning, after we sign everything, we'll head over and- Call them.
02:31Tell them they can stop worrying now. He probably hadn't expected me to agree so easily.
02:37You're seriously the best. I let him kiss me. Inside, my heart was as still and lifeless as dead
02:43water. He took the agreement to the study to make a call. She signed. See, I told you Joey is
02:49the
02:49easiest to handle. The easiest to handle. Keep Leela steady on your end. I'll come over once I'm
02:55done. I sat in the room for a long time. A message from Ethan. Haven't seen you in a while.
03:01Want to
03:01get together? Before, I would have replied, sure. I would have carefully considered what to wear,
03:07what makeup to put on. I would have thought about how to protect grace and reputation in front of them
03:11to show them I had married well. To keep them from being at odds with Grayson. After all,
03:16on one side were friends I'd grown up with, and on the other was the husband I deeply loved. Both
03:20were
03:20people I treasured. I didn't want them to remain enemies for life. But now, I couldn't even be
03:25bothered to reply. Passing the study, his voice was low, but carried a casual ease I had never heard
03:31before. The ease of someone who no longer needed to act or pretend. He had never once spoken to me
03:37like that. My phone lit up again. This time it was Sebastian. Heard you're getting divorced
03:41again? Grayson is such a scumbag. He doesn't deserve you. Don't be sad. Your grandfather's
03:4580th birthday banquet is coming up. Ethan and I will go celebrate with him. Let's all get together.
03:49How beautifully he spoke. I suddenly wanted to know, what kind of person was Lila Pendrelground
03:55and really. I got it babe. I knew you wouldn't be asleep yet. What are you doing here? Oh, sister
04:13-in-law
04:13is here too. Joey, she's had too much to drink. We were taking her home, but she insisted on stopping
04:20by. Grayson, your wife is still at home. Don't you know to keep your distance? You got her this
04:25drunk and brought her to my house, and you're telling me to keep your distance? I got her drunk.
04:30It's because you post about being single on your moments. Fine, you're noble, you're proper. I've
04:35delivered the person who got drunk over you. Handle it yourself. All right, all right, stop fighting.
04:42Lila just stopped by on the way to say hello. You're all here at just the right time. There's something
04:47I'd like you to witness in person. Two copies, both signed. Since everyone is here, why not
04:52take a clear look? Joey, we can talk about this privately. There's no need to- Since sister-in-law
04:57has brought it up, can I ask, when are you moving out? This house is under my name. You can't
05:03keep living here forever, can you? The house in her name? In that instant, a flood of images.
05:12This is our home. I'll handle the paperwork, don't worry about it. Every piece of furniture
05:17in this place was something I'd picked out trip after trip to the furniture stores. The
05:21entire layout was arranged to his taste. I never cared whose name was on the property
05:26deed, but I never imagined that the home meant for our marriage would bear another woman's
05:30name. I'm leaving. Now. Joey.
05:35Tomorrow, 9 o'clock. City Hall, Marriage Registry. Man, she's something. Even more cooperative
05:41than when I begged her to marry me. I stood by the elevator, listening to this unfamiliar
05:46story. In the mirror, I looked calmer than I had imagined.
05:53Be good. Find somewhere to stay in a few days. Pick me up in a few days? He made it
05:59sound
05:59like I'd just gone out for groceries and would be right back. No need, Grayson. No need to
06:04come get me. The next morning at 9, outside the City Hall Marriage Registry. When I arrived,
06:10Grayson was already waiting. He leaned against his car door, and when he saw me get out, he
06:14stubbed out his cigarette and walked over. Where did you go last night? Grandfather's
06:19house. I had already stopped owing him any real answers. He nodded. His gaze languered on
06:23my face for a moment, and he suddenly reached out to touch my hair. I turned my head away.
06:26His hand hung in midair for a second, then withdrawed. Joey, I know you saved my face
06:31in front of Sebastian and Ethan. I appreciate it. As for the house, Lila needed a New York
06:35State residency, which requires owning property. I figured it was just a name on paper. You
06:39married down to be with me, so I didn't think you'd care about such things. That's why
06:42I didn't tell you. I looked into his eyes and said nothing. Wouldn't care? He gave away
06:46our marital home to another woman and dismissed it with a single line. It wasn't that he thought
06:51I wouldn't care. It was that he simply didn't care whether I care. Anyway, you have residency
06:54rights to the house. After the divorce, stay somewhere else for a while. Once I've sorted
06:57things out on my end, I'll bring you back. I nearly laughed out loud. Even now, he still
07:01thought I was playing along with his charade. Let's go. Let's get this done. He followed
07:06quickly. The paperwork went faster than expected. Signatures, thumbprints, photos submitted.
07:10The marriage registry finally pressed the steel seal down. A soft click. The divorce
07:14screen in my hands was just a few thin pages, similar to the marriage certificate, only a different
07:18color. I need to take a call. Wait here for me. I'll give you a ride back later. Leela.
07:26I stood still, quietly watching his back. He hung up and walked back quickly, his expression
07:31somewhat urgent. Something came up. Head back on your own for now. I'll contact you later.
07:35Only after he walked out the front door did I slowly turn and walk toward the marriage registration
07:39window on the other side. When Grayson walked out of City Hall, the sun was already high in the sky.
07:43He looked at the divorce a treat in his hand, then checked his phone. April 1st. April Fool's Day.
07:47That's right. It was today. A client's call when connived him in 10 minutes, searched him slightly.
07:51His phone rang suddenly, glanced back at the City Hall entrance. Why hadn't Joey come out yet?
07:55He hesitated, then turned to walk back. He wanted to go in and say a couple more words to her.
08:00At least set a date for remarriage so she wouldn't overthink things.
08:04Before he'd taken more than a few steps, he collided with a man coming through the door.
08:07Sorry.
08:08Two documents lay side by side, his divorce decree and the other man's marriage certificate.
08:12A gust of wind flipped the cover of the other man's marriage certificate halfway open,
08:15revealing a corner of the photo inside.
08:17No problem.
08:18The man picked up his marriage certificate first, his voice.
08:20Congratulations, getting married today.
08:22Congratulations to you too.
08:24Grayson froze, not quite catching the meaning. The man had already tucked the marriage certificate
08:28into his inner pocket, his gaze sweeping briefly across Graydon's face without lingering.
08:33He turned and walked away. Grayson stared after him, a thought growing heavier in his mind.
08:37It was April Fool's Day. Who would choose today to get married?
08:40And this man's voice, his build. He felt like he'd seen him somewhere before.
08:45Wait!
08:46The man stopped and turned slightly, his expression still indifferent.
08:50Have we-
08:50His phone rang at just the wrong moment. He glanced down, it was Ethan.
08:53He hesitated for a second, looked up to say one moment, but the man in the dark gray French
08:57coat had already disappeared around the corner. He didn't answer the call.
09:00Just as he was about to turn back and find Joey, his phone buzzed again.
09:04This time it was a location from Sebastian.
09:06Hurry up. We need to reach the island before sunset.
09:08His steps halted.
09:10The island. He remembered what Leela had said, making a wish by the sea on their high school
09:14graduation day. She said that before her wedding she wanted everyone to go to that private island
09:18in the Hamptons, and go wild for three days and nights cashing in the last of their youth.
09:22At the time, everyone thought it was the most romantic plaqued in the world.
09:26Now she was really getting married, and the time had come to fulfill it.
09:29But the island resort didn't accept outside guests. Entry required an exclusive membership.
09:33Among their group, the only one who held that ticket was him, so he couldn't be late.
09:37If he went back for Joey and got caught up in a drawn-out conversation, he wouldn't make it.
09:41He didn't hesitate any further and walked toward the parking lot.
09:49Grayson, why are you so late? I've been waiting for you for ages.
09:54He looks down at her. She tilts her face up and smiles, her eyes bright, exactly the same as she
10:00was in high school.
10:01All right, I'll drink.
10:04Grayson still dotes on Leela like crazy. Some things never change.
10:10Aw, someone's just jealous.
10:13When they arrive at the resort, the sky has already darkened.
10:18Starlights hang all over the terrace.
10:20Speaking of which, Leela, you're getting married next week.
10:23None of us have met the groom yet. You've hidden him really well.
10:27Groom? What groom?
10:30Aren't you getting married next week?
10:33April Fool's Day!
10:37You've been falling for it every year for so long.
10:40All right, all right. You got us good. You had all of us fooled.
10:45Hey, wait! Leela isn't married. Grayson just got divorced. We're all single now.
10:51After all these years, you two still pretending to be just friends?
10:54Everyone knows high school. You two can't live without each other.
10:58You're drunk.
11:00I'm not drunk. I'm dead serious. You're both single? Just get together.
11:06Get together. Get together. He left his wife for you. You gotta hold up.
11:11Grayson, you're not gonna join in and mess with me too, right?
11:14He's not messing around. He means it.
11:20Grayson, are you even listening to me?
11:24Everyone's messing with me. Don't you join in too, okay?
11:27Who are you thinking about, huh?
11:29Nothing. I'm just gonna hit the restroom.
11:32She's definitely waiting for my call.
11:34The last two fake divorces she texted right away.
11:37She'll do the same this time. She's just waiting for me to go first.
11:44Can you get me a glass of water?
11:47Want me to get that?
11:54Joey?
11:56You picked up?
12:00You picked up?
12:02I just wanted to ask you how you've been lately.
12:06Joey?
12:10Who is that?
12:12Grayson, you're drunk.
12:13I'm not drunk!
12:15Who's there with you?
12:18Grayson, it's late. Get some rest.
12:21Joey?
12:23I have things to do tomorrow.
12:26What things?
12:46I called her.
12:48She asked nothing.
12:50Not why I called, if I drank or if I was happy.
12:54Nothing at all.
12:56Last two fake divorces, she texted.
12:58I took it all for granted.
13:00God damn it.
13:04Grayson!
13:05Where have you been?
13:08What happened to your hand?
13:10Nothing, just bumped it.
13:12Let me see.
13:12I'm fine.
13:16Every drink burned.
13:20I lost count.
13:23Her voice played on repeat.
13:27Grayson, you need to stop drinking.
13:33Do you know who I am?
13:37Yeah.
13:38Lila.
13:39Come on, let's get you to your room.
13:47Don't.
13:48I got it.
13:54Here, drink some water.
13:56Grayson.
13:59You really drank too much tonight.
14:02Wow.
14:03Your heart's racing.
14:06Grayson?
14:07Hmm?
14:08Remember senior year?
14:10I walked you home once when you were wasted, too.
14:12You muddled all night about how bad things were at home.
14:15How you'd make it big someday.
14:18You said something else.
14:19What did I say?
14:21You said, I wish someone would just stay with me.
14:26I stayed.
14:32Lila.
14:34You don't have to think about anything.
14:43The kiss trailed down his neck.
14:54She smiled.
14:56She'd won.
14:57Their bodies tangled.
15:01Does it hurt?
15:09That was the last straw.
15:21They slept in each other's arms.
15:26Reality hit him hard.
15:32Morning.
15:37Nothing from Joey.
15:43Grayson?
15:44Why are you so late?
15:47About last night.
15:49I'm sorry.
15:53You're saying sorry to me?
15:54I know.
15:56I don't know what to say.
15:58Look at me.
15:59I can barely stand.
16:02Grayson, how long are you going to keep pretending?
16:05Back in high school, her grandpa blackmailed you into dating her with that scholarship.
16:09You're already at the top now.
16:11What are you still scared of?
16:13Her grandpa didn't blackmail me.
16:15I pursued her.
16:16I guess I was wrong.
16:18Just go.
16:21What did you two do last night?
16:23Dude, you crossed a line.
16:24You and Joey are still faking the divorce, remember?
16:29I'm talking to you.
16:33Let go.
16:37Did you sleep with her?
16:39Grayson, do you even know what you're doing?
16:41You just got fake divorced from Joey yesterday and you're sleeping with Leela today?
16:44What the hell do you take her for?
16:47I didn't ask you to meddle in my business.
17:01You done?
17:04Why didn't you hit back?
17:08I'll take responsibility for her.
17:11Responsibility?
17:11With what?
17:12You just got divorced yesterday and you're talking about being responsible to someone else today?
17:16How the hell is that fair to Joey?
17:17What the hell do you want me to do?
17:19Enough.
17:20Stop arguing.
17:21Grayson, calm down.
17:22You can't make rational choices like this.
17:24I'll go wash my face.
17:26He tried to escape for a moment.
17:29People always take what they have for granted until they nearly lose it.
17:33Grayson!
17:35Don't come any closer!
17:40Just step down first.
17:41We can talk about this.
17:43There's nothing to say!
17:45Back in high school, you wrote me a love letter.
17:47Then she showed up and you left me!
17:50Now you're divorced from her and you still don't want me!
17:53Just go!
17:53Go back to that woman!
17:54I'm not leaving!
17:55I'll stay with you!
17:56Really?
17:57I mean it!
18:02This way you can keep your promise and stay with me.
18:08Do you remember my other dream?
18:09She stood at the study door for a long time.
18:13She stood at the study door for a long time.
18:17Long enough for the sound of pages turning inside to stop.
18:20Come in.
18:28Go on.
18:28I got divorced.
18:31Who asked for it?
18:33He did.
18:34April Fool's Day.
18:36He said it was a prank.
18:37Sebastian and Ethan planned it together.
18:41You signed it.
18:43I did.
18:44When?
18:46Last week.
18:47At City Hall.
18:51You didn't come here to tell me you got divorced.
18:53No.
18:54Then what do you want?
18:56Sebastian Vaughn.
18:57The zoning permit for his land on Long Island.
18:59He pulled strings for it three years ago.
19:01Revoke it.
19:02Ethan Ross.
19:03The three key accounts for his logistics firm,
19:05the ones with Carmichael Group backing,
19:07terminate them.
19:07All Upper East resources,
19:09connections,
19:10access,
19:11link to the Carmichael name,
19:12cut it off.
19:13He did something Joey never saw coming.
19:17I funded those two boys.
19:19I bought Sebastian his inheritance.
19:22I lined up Ethan's clients.
19:27Where is Grayson?
19:31You don't need to touch his company.
19:33Reason?
19:35He's good.
19:36He can stand on his own,
19:38with or without the Carmichael name.
19:40Go get some sleep.
19:41I'll have Mr. Carter handle the birthday banquet tomorrow.
19:45Grandpa.
19:46What is it now?
19:47That ring.
19:48Keep it for me.
19:49I don't want it anymore,
19:50but I don't want to throw it away either.
19:53The door clicked shut.
19:54The grandpa was alone in the study.
19:58Mr. Carter.
19:59Sir.
20:00I'm making two changes to the guest list
20:01for next month's birthday banquet.
20:03Go ahead, sir.
20:05After hanging up,
20:06the old man sat still with his eyes closed.
20:09He pushed himself up so fast
20:11that his chair shot backward.
20:13It crashed to the floor with a heavy thud.
20:16He lifted his right foot
20:18and kicked the side table hard.
20:20One cup shattered against the fireplace.
20:23Shards glinted like water in moonlight.
20:26He stared at the mess.
20:27His chest heaved violently twice.
20:30We build them up only to watch them crumble.
20:34And in the end,
20:36we are left with the ghosts of what we lost.
20:41He kicked again,
20:42straight into the base of the bookshelf.
21:03The world is watching,
21:04and they only see the perfect picture.
21:08The Plaza's 80th birthday gala.
21:10Only New York's elite.
21:12Excuse me, gentlemen.
21:13You're not on the guest list.
21:16Check again.
21:17We're Joey's childhood friends.
21:19We've spent every holiday at her house.
21:20Sorry, sir.
21:21If you're not on the list,
21:22you're not on the list.
21:23No exceptions.
21:24Who's the Vaughn and Ross losers?
21:25Both ex-husbands, right?
21:27Showing up at her grandpa's birthday?
21:28Remarry?
21:29Haven't you heard?
21:30The old man's announcing a big,
21:32happy surprise tonight.
21:37We've been coming to this gala every single year.
21:40We have more right to be here than anyone else here.
21:47Mr. Carter.
21:48Gentlemen, you are no longer welcome here.
21:50Please leave.
21:57Let's go.
21:59Why?
22:00Joey and I grew up together.
22:03Sebastian.
22:07Let's go.
22:10Some things, once broken, stay broken.
22:15What's wrong?
22:20What's wrong?
22:23The golden dome he knew so well was slipping away.
22:28Three days after the rejection.
22:32What have you done?
22:34The Long Island permit's blocked.
22:36New regulation?
22:37Bullshit!
22:38That land was a wedding gift from Joey's grandpa.
22:42It got him the Vaughn family inheritance.
22:45He had nowhere else to turn.
22:48The number you have dialed is no longer in service.
22:51He put down the phone.
22:53And a memory came flooding back.
22:56Don't be afraid.
22:57I'm here for you.
23:00She was his only way out.
23:04Now he had nothing left.
23:07All three clients bailed on the same day.
23:11It's the Carmichael thing.
23:13Everyone's re-evaluating the risk.
23:16He had lost everything he'd built.
23:21He slammed the phone down.
23:27Apologize to the Carmichael's tomorrow.
23:29With me.
23:34He put down the phone.
23:39Fifteen-year-old Joey under the Osmega tree.
23:42He'd hidden it for over ten-year years.
23:46He thought she'd see him someday.
23:49Lena loved the ocean more than anything.
23:51He used to lie to Joey about business trips.
23:53But this time, he felt nothing but dread.
23:56He wanted to go back to New York.
23:58But Lena got sick and wouldn't let him leave.
24:01Days turned into weeks.
24:02And weeks into a month.
24:05He returned to grab his forgotten phone.
24:09You've kept him stuck for months.
24:10Still didn't win him over?
24:11I don't buy he's that innocent.
24:14Ugh.
24:15Faking sickness.
24:17Kept him trapped here.
24:18But I sent all our photos to JoLynn.
24:24She knows.
24:25She ought to step aside for good.
24:31What did you send to Joey?
24:35Grayson!
24:36Why are you back?
24:37I was only messing with my friend.
24:39Just a joke?
24:41Grayson!
24:42That's my phone!
24:45I've sent them to her.
24:47She'll lose her cool easily.
24:49Rich Iris can't steal a man from me.
24:52You call this a harmless joke?
25:01When did you take all these photos?
25:04Grayson, just let me explain.
25:05I asked you when!
25:12You were never sick at all.
25:14A fever?
25:15I stayed up beside you every night.
25:18Waking at every single cough of yours.
25:19Truly believing you were uneal.
25:22I thought I was taking care of you.
25:24But I was nothing but your fool.
25:26Grayson, I didn't mean it.
25:28I just...
25:31Just what?
25:32Trying to trap me here?
25:33Keep me away from her?
25:36Yes.
25:37I'm determined.
25:38I'm determined to keep you by myself.
25:42Did you think I had an easy time these two months?
25:44Do you think I don't know who's on your mind?
25:46You scroll through her photos late at night
25:48thinking I'm sound asleep?
25:50What's wrong with faking illness or sending those photos?
25:52You lied to her about business trips just to be with me?
25:55Aren't you playing her too?
25:56Did you think I've had an easy two months?
25:58Do you know who's on your mind?
26:00You scroll her photos late at night
26:02thinking I'm sound asleep?
26:03What's wrong with faking sickness?
26:05You lied to her about work trips to be with me?
26:07Aren't you fooling her too?
26:13This one.
26:14Hotel Balcony.
26:16You claimed you were watching the ocean and ignored my three...
26:19Enough!
26:29You swatted my phone.
26:32You did it all for her.
26:33I didn't lay a hand on you.
26:35You hit at me all the same.
26:37Every thought in your head belongs to her.
26:39Don't think I can't feel it.
26:40Do you honestly think I liked faking illness?
26:43Do you think I wanted to trap you this way?
26:45I didn't mean...
26:46You did!
26:47You're always thinking of her while shopping or holding me!
26:52Your arms were always loose when you held me.
26:55Does a woman not feel the difference between a tight or loose embrace?
26:59Always loose, every single time.
27:07Grayson, you're leaving, aren't you?
27:10Are you going back to her after all?
27:13Grayson, don't leave.
27:14You promised you'd stay with me.
27:16I only made that promise under the belief you were really sick.
27:19Pretend I'm still sick.
27:20Still feverish and coughing.
27:23You said you'd wait till I recover.
27:24Feel it!
27:25I still have a fever.
27:27Grayson took in her tear-swound eyes.
27:29He turned without a word and walked toward the doorway.
27:32Grayson, you're really leaving for good, aren't you?
27:36Step out this door and never come back again.
27:40He left without a glance, hurrying through hallway, elevator and lobby.
27:44He set New York as destination.
27:462,847 miles, 41-hour drive.
27:50Driving non-stop towards New York, he kept trying to add her contact back on the way.
27:54He sent a friend request, yet no reply came even after a follow-up message to Joey.
27:58It hit him that she had never reached out to add him back all these months.
28:02The line was shut down, and he gripped the wheel tight, forcing himself to make excuses for her.
28:06Speeding towards New York, he kept trying to send her friend requests on the road.
28:10Convinced she stayed with her grandpa after their split, he rushed over and banged hard on the door.
28:15Joey answered the door, her rounded belly showing five or six months of pregnancy.
28:19The obvious baby bump hit him the second his eyes fell on her midsection, his gaze locked on her belly.
28:31Joey, I'm here to take you back and remarry you.
28:36Remarry? You'd better ask my husband for permission first.
28:42It's you?
28:43He suddenly remembered the man in the dark gray coat he'd seen at City Hall.
28:46You two, the baby, is it mine?
28:51What do you think?
28:53Finn said nothing, his gaze soft and reverent as he looked at her belly.
28:59Joey, what are you doing? Don't you remember our deal? It was only a fake divorce for April Fool's...
29:03I'm sorry.
29:04Her calm reply shut down all his last remaining hopes completely.
29:08I never celebrate meaningless prank holidays like April Fool's Day.
29:12But if you're fond of it, I'll send my best wishes.
29:16Happy April Fool's Day.
29:23Three months after our wedding.
29:27Finn.
29:28Hmm? I'm jealous.
29:30Jealous of who?
29:32Her.
29:34Our daughter isn't even born yet.
29:36So?
29:37She gets all your attention.
29:38You sleep holding her.
29:40You talk to her all day.
29:41You even kiss me half-heartedly now.
29:44Who would have thought the feared business titan, Finn Mortamy, was competing with his unborn daughter for attention.
29:52Sir, there's a visitor outside.
29:54Who?
29:56Grayson.
29:57As if she had heard the name of a stranger.
29:59Finn instinctively tightened his grip on her hand.
30:01I'll handle it.
30:03Grayson stood there.
30:05Compared to a few years ago, he looked much older.
30:07When he saw Finn, he forced a smile.
30:11I mean no harm.
30:12So?
30:13This was Joey's favorite necklace.
30:15I found it while sorting through my things.
30:17Please return it to her.
30:19She doesn't need it anymore.
30:20Of course.
30:21The girl who once treated him as her whole world no longer needed him.
30:25Finn.
30:27Grayson stared.
30:28Suddenly he remembered years ago.
30:30Joey had once looked at him the same way.
30:32With stars in her eyes.
30:34But now, that light belonged to someone else.
30:37It's that necklace.
30:38I used to love it.
30:40Keep it.
30:42What?
30:43Things from the past.
30:44Should stay in the past.
30:46Any regrets?
30:47No.
30:50Good.
30:52What if I hadn't chose you back then?
30:54Then I would have kept waiting.
30:56If seven years wasn't enough, I'd wait ten.
30:59If ten wasn't enough, I'd wait a lifetime.
31:04Snow was falling over New York.
31:06Grayson stood across the street from the Mortem Group headquarters.
31:09He had been waiting for three hours.
31:11Finally.
31:11The familiar black Mayak pulled up in front of the building.
31:15Grayson's body froze.
31:17Daddy!
31:18It was Phoebe.
31:19The little girl whose photos he had secretly looked at countless times.
31:22Daddy, my teacher praised me today.
31:24Really?
31:24Because I'm the smartest kid in class.
31:26I believe it.
31:27After all, you take after Mommy.
31:29He had imagined this countless times.
31:31If Phoebe were his daughter, if he had never lost Joey, would he have moments like this too?
31:35Daddy, that man over there, why is he staring at us?
31:38Hello, mister.
31:38A little.
31:39Not daddy.
31:40Not even someone familiar.
31:41Hello.
31:43What's your name?
31:44Phoebe Mortimer.
31:45I'm five years old, and this is my daddy.
31:47Phoebe carried the Mortimer name.
31:49She called Finn Daddy, and all of it had nothing to do with him anymore.
31:54Mommy!
31:55Were you a good girl today?
31:57Yes.
31:57Daddy even bought me ice cream.
31:59You're spoiling her again.
32:00My daughter.
32:01Of course I'm gonna spoil her.
32:02He, uh...
32:05I'm gonna spoil her again.
32:05I'm gonna spoil her again.
32:06I'm gonna spoil her again.
32:06I'm gonna spoil her again.
