00:01I never thought my fiance, Hela Hart, could talk so casually about having another man's baby, like my feelings meant
00:07nothing.
00:08Evan, Julian may not have much time left. All he wants is a child of his own. I want to
00:13give him that.
00:16Say that again? What you gonna do?
00:20It's nothing. Just artificial insemination. There won't be any physical contact. I'd still be faithful to you.
00:26Hela and I had been together four years. Julian, a guy two years behind her in college, wouldn't stop chasing
00:33her.
00:34God, why can't he just leave me alone?
00:36She said he was a pest. She even said yes to my proposal because of him. And now she wants
00:42to have his child. No. Impossible.
00:45What did you say?
00:46In the 11 years I'd known her, that was the first time I'd ever told her no. I said no.
00:52I'm not agreeing to this.
00:53How can you be this selfish? Julian saved my life. If he hadn't pulled me out from under that car
01:00four years ago, I'd be dead.
01:01He just wants a child, not a relationship with me. Why can't you be bigger than this?
01:07In 11 years she'd never been this angry over anything. Hela, I'm your fiance. No man would agree to let
01:13his fiance's have another man's child.
01:2514 days till our wedding. She chose to have another man's child.
01:33Mr. Cole, the boss asked me to pass along a message. He wants you back. You're the mob's only heir.
01:40Hela always thought I was just an ordinary high school teacher. She never knew I'd turn that seat down for
01:44her. For years.
01:46Evan Cole, tell Victor I'm coming back. She had another man's child. It's over between us.
01:56Five weeks. She'd already gone through with the artificial insemination before she ever brought it up to me.
02:03And all this time, she was still lying to my face.
02:06So, have you made up your mind?
02:08I have. No.
02:11Evan, how many times do I have to ask you?
02:13My answer isn't changing.
02:14How can you be this selfish? He just wants a child. It's not like I'm marrying him.
02:21We've been together four years and you can't do this one thing for me?
02:25I'm your fiance.
02:26I know. That's why I asked you.
02:28She wasn't asking me. She just kept bringing it up so she could feel better about it.
02:33Really? That's great. Don't move. I'm coming right now.
02:37She looked happier running out that door than the day she said yes to me.
02:40She came home and didn't notice a thing?
02:42Yeah, I'm home. You should get some rest too. I'll see you tomorrow.
02:48Why are you in bed so early?
02:51She still had no idea we were in trouble.
02:58My clothes were crammed into a third of the closet. The rest was hers.
03:02Four years. And everything I owned fit in one suitcase.
03:09Evan Cole. The boss is waiting.
03:11Tell Don Victor I need a few more days.
03:13The boss said this can't wait.
03:16For three years, I lived as a high school physics teacher.
03:18I thought I'd never go back.
03:20But this time, I finally made my choice.
03:23I know. Goodbye.
03:30One hundred and ten thousand dollars. Not a word to me.
03:33Just like the artificial insemination, she did it first, then told me.
03:37Or maybe she never told me at all.
03:41Evan, why isn't that card working? I need it. Julian's expenses for this month still haven't been paid.
03:45I'd barely moved the money when Hela called. Fast as ever. That was our wedding account.
03:50We can put the wedding money back later. His treatment can't wait. Transfer it back now.
03:55There's nothing left on it.
03:56What do you mean, no money? There was a hundred and fifty thousand dollars on that card.
04:00You took a hundred and ten thousand dollars out of it. Remember?
04:04That was for his treatment. Evan, do you have to be this petty?
04:10I wanted to ask when she planned to tell me about the hundred and ten thousand dollars.
04:15But I couldn't. I knew it wouldn't matter anyway.
04:18In twelve days, Hera, I'll be out of your life for good.
04:23Evan, your physics class ranked first in the grade. Why leave so suddenly?
04:28I have other plans. Are you getting married?
04:31If that's it, the school can give you leave. The wedding's off.
04:35I'd been teaching for three years. My students liked me.
04:39As I walked out of the school, the sun was almost blinding.
04:43From then on, I didn't have to be a teacher anymore.
04:46Why does it feel so empty in here?
04:49I threw out some stuff we didn't need.
04:52Where are my shoes?
04:54You said you didn't like them. I figured you were done with them.
04:59Five pictures. I asked for every one.
05:01And in every single one, she looked half-hearted.
05:04I was blind. I only realized it now.
05:06She hardly ever smiled at me.
05:08On dates, she was always tired.
05:10I wanted to take her stargazing once.
05:12She said that was childish.
05:14I asked her to go to the beach last year. She said no.
05:17Now she's there with Julian, smiling like that.
05:23Bob's my best friend. He watched me chase Hela for years, and he told me more than once to give
05:28up on her.
05:29What did you say?
05:30The wedding's off. I'm leaving. You chased her for years.
05:34You finally got her to say yes, and now you're calling off the wedding?
05:38Evan, tell me the truth. I've thought it through.
05:41She's not right for me.
05:42They've been trying to reach me for three years.
05:44I turned them down because I was going to marry Hela.
05:47I couldn't leave her. Not anymore.
05:49She's pregnant with Julian's baby? By artificial insemination?
05:53And she never said a word to you?
05:55You can't just let this go.
05:58That's why I'm leaving.
05:59Leave! You're just going to walk away and let Julian win?
06:02Bob, that's Hela's choice.
06:04When I said it, it didn't hurt as much as I thought it would.
06:07Maybe after a while you just get used to the pain.
06:10I heard you were getting married.
06:12It's off.
06:13Then come back.
06:14You're needed here.
06:15I promised mom I wouldn't go back to the mob.
06:19Your mother took you out of here 17 years ago.
06:21She was afraid you'd end up like your father.
06:23I give you my word, that won't happen again.
06:26Alright.
06:27But I need a few days.
06:29They came for me three years ago.
06:32I stayed because Hela said she didn't want to be alone.
06:35I believed her.
06:36Then I figured it out.
06:38She didn't mean she needed me.
06:40And tonight, she wants me at dinner with her and Julian.
06:47Last year, she called my birthday trip boring.
06:49This year, she ditched me for Julian.
06:52Evan, Hela took care of me the whole trip.
06:55Dinner's on me tonight, so don't be shy.
06:58Grilled salmon, pansy and shrimp, garlic butter shrimp.
07:03Here, this is for you.
07:05I'm allergic to seafood.
07:07Allergic?
07:07Since when?
07:08Three years together, and she still didn't know.
07:11But she knew exactly what Julian liked.
07:13I told her.
07:14She just never cared enough to remember.
07:15I can't eat this.
07:17You two go ahead.
07:18Oh, come on.
07:19Don't make a thing out of this.
07:20It's not like I did it on purpose.
07:22Don't worry.
07:23There won't be a next time.
07:24You'll be happier once I'm gone anyway.
07:28Evan Cole, the boss wants you at the hospital.
07:31Can you make it in the next couple of days?
07:32Yes.
07:33Once you're back, no one outside will be able to find anything on you.
07:37I know.
07:39She didn't even ask how I was getting home.
07:41She didn't care who was calling either.
07:46You can head back.
07:47Tell Don Victor I'll be there on time.
07:49Before I leave, there are always loose ends to tie up.
07:52She looked nervous.
07:54Was she scared I'd find out she's carrying Julian's baby?
07:56So she is capable of fear.
07:59Evan, what are you doing here?
08:00Just picking something up.
08:02What about you?
08:03Hela came with me for a follow-up.
08:04She wasn't here for Julian's follow-up.
08:07She was here for a prenatal check-up.
08:09I didn't call her out.
08:10It would have only convinced her she was right.
08:12If that's all, I'll be going.
08:13Evan, the woman's pregnant with another man's kid,
08:16and you still go home and smile at her.
08:18How's that feel?
08:19He didn't look sick at all.
08:20Nothing like someone with late-stage cancer.
08:22You know whether you're sick or not.
08:23What's that supposed to mean?
08:29Hela!
08:30What the hell are you doing?
08:33Julian's sick.
08:34How could you shove him?
08:36I didn't shove him.
08:37He grabbed my sleeve first.
08:38He's that sick.
08:39Why would he grab you?
08:40Let it go, Hela.
08:41If Evan's angry, I get it.
08:43I don't blame him.
08:44How is that okay?
08:46Angry or not, he doesn't get to lay a hand on you.
08:49You're apologizing to Julian today.
08:51There are cameras here.
08:52Pull the footage.
08:53You'll see what happened.
08:55No, Hela, let it go.
08:56I don't want this coming between you two.
08:58Evan, we'll settle this when I get back.
09:01He looked back at me.
09:02Not a trace of pain on his face.
09:03And Hela had no idea.
09:12Julian had a scare because of you
09:14and ended up in the hospital all afternoon.
09:16Couldn't you cut him some slack?
09:18Cut him some slack?
09:19He's sick.
09:20He can barely make it up the stairs.
09:22What's so hard about backing off a little?
09:24Anyone who sees this is just going to think you're petty, Evan.
09:28The wedding's in a few days.
09:29I don't want to keep fighting.
09:31After it's over, let's take a trip.
09:34Didn't you say you wanted to go to the beach?
09:36I'll take some time off and go with you.
09:39In four years, it was the first time she'd ever offered to go to the beach with me.
09:45I knew she wanted something.
09:47Really?
09:48Really.
09:49But first, I need a favor.
09:52What do you need?
09:54Can you let Julian stay in the old house your mother left you for now?
09:58His rental is so bad, it's not good for his health.
10:02No.
10:03So that's what this was.
10:05The trip was bait.
10:06The house was the point.
10:08You have two houses.
10:09One sitting empty anyway.
10:11What exactly are you doing?
10:13What am I to him?
10:15He saved my life.
10:17And now he's seriously sick.
10:19What's wrong with me taking care of him?
10:21Just stop talking.
10:23Looking at you pisses me off.
10:24Don't worry.
10:25Four days left.
10:27In four days, everything in this house that's tied to me will be gone.
10:30I'll be gone too.
10:34Nice, right?
10:35Everyone says we look perfect together.
10:37Evan, thanks for letting me borrow her for the day.
10:40I paid for those photos.
10:42Then I owe you even more thanks.
10:45I picked that shirt.
10:46I chose that photo studio.
10:48And I saved that money month by month for four years.
10:52She said Julian might never get married.
10:54And he wanted to know what wedding potraps felt like.
10:57She asked if I was okay with it.
10:59By then I didn't care anymore.
11:01It was the brightest smile I'd ever seen on her.
11:03She'd never smiled at me like that.
11:06Evan, I...
11:06They look good.
11:14I'd promised my mother I'd never go back.
11:17Mom, I'm leaving the day after tomorrow.
11:20I may not be back for two years.
11:22Isn't that your wedding day?
11:24It's cancelled.
11:26Is this because of that girl?
11:28Things fell apart between us.
11:30We're done.
11:30Evan, you promised me.
11:32Why are you going back?
11:33I know.
11:34Your father said that to me once.
11:38Do what you have to do.
11:39Don't look back.
11:41She'd known for a long time.
11:42She was just waiting for me to say it.
11:46Some things would only hurt her more.
11:48I carried those words for years.
11:50Do what I had to do.
11:51Don't look back.
11:53The wedding's in two days.
11:55I'm not going out tonight.
11:57Afterward, you need to apologize to Julian.
12:00Even now, she still thought I'd be right here waiting for her.
12:04Where's my dress?
12:05The one that was hanging here.
12:07Hillis.
12:09Hello? What is it?
12:11Don't panic. I'm on my way.
12:16Julian's not feeling well.
12:18I'll go check on him and come right back.
12:19Get some sleep.
12:21I'll be back before the wedding.
12:23My fault for still thinking she'd care about our unfinished wedding.
12:26Doesn't matter now.
12:28That night, I did nothing.
12:29I just sat there and listened to the apartment go quiet.
12:34Eleven years.
12:36This is where it ends.
12:46Luca, let's go.
12:48Goodbye, Hela.
12:55She texted me on the way to the airport.
12:58By then, I was already on the way to the airport.
13:01She couldn't figure out why I'd stopped replying.
13:03She always thought I'd be there.
13:05Want me to take your phone?
13:07No.
13:09Then she tried to reason with me.
13:10I didn't want reasons.
13:12It came so naturally to her.
13:14For four years, that's how she'd been.
13:16Petty.
13:16She typed it without a second thought.
13:18I'd waited eleven years for her.
13:20I gave up that seat more than once.
13:22She always thought I was just a regular teacher.
13:25She had no idea that, starting today, we were in different worlds.
13:28I told the boss you were on your way.
13:31Okay.
13:34Sir, please turn off your phone before takeoff.
13:41It's almost time.
13:43He's still not here?
13:44Traffic.
13:45He's never late.
13:46If he couldn't make it, he'd call.
13:49Hey, Evan.
13:50Where are you?
13:51Everyone was waiting for me.
13:53I was the only one already 600 miles away, up in the air.
13:56Ladies and gentlemen, we'll wait another five minutes.
13:59Where's the groom?
14:02Hella, you're already in your dress?
14:04Where is he?
14:06There's no way he wouldn't come.
14:08One call from me, and he'd be here right away.
14:11Hello? Is Evan there with you?
14:14No, he's not here.
14:15He's not there? Then where did he go?
14:17He left yesterday.
14:19We don't know where he went.
14:20Before he left, he said the wedding was off.
14:24Who said that?
14:25His mother.
14:26She said he left yesterday.
14:31The bride stood at the door, asking everyone.
14:34That room had been empty for 14 days.
14:37Bob, where's Evan?
14:39Probably already flown out.
14:41Flown out? Where'd he go?
14:43Sorry, I don't know.
14:45But he made up his mind 14 days ago.
14:4714 days ago?
14:49Then the wedding...
14:50There is no wedding.
14:52Hella, did you even look around your place and see how much was already gone?
14:56She didn't realize till later that I knew everything.
14:58For 14 days, I didn't say a word.
15:03No questions.
15:04No fight.
15:06I just moved my things out, one by one.
15:10Hello?
15:10I'm Evan's fiance.
15:12I need to reach him.
15:13He's gone.
15:14He's out of contact for now.
15:16At least one year, maybe three.
15:18I'm his fiance!
15:19He told me himself he doesn't have a fiance.
15:22I told Cindy to say that.
15:31After I left that place, I took a new name and started over.
15:36Boss's orders.
15:37If you still want news from the outside, I'll bring it to you every day.
15:39Fine.
15:42We're here.
15:43You remember the rules?
15:44No outside business, no outside calls.
15:46One more thing.
15:47In here, people only answer to their names inside.
15:49You've gotten thin.
15:51You came back.
15:52That's enough.
15:53I've kept your place for you.
15:56I don't know if I should have come.
15:57You don't need to know.
15:59There are eight men in that room.
16:00You're the ninth.
16:02I'd walked through that door once before, 17 years ago.
16:05Back then, my mother held my hand.
16:07The door closed slowly behind me.
16:09Everything outside stayed outside.
16:13Iris, I handle the ledgers and the archives.
16:15If anything doesn't make sense, ask me.
16:18How many ledgers are there?
16:2027 on the shelf.
16:21The top seven haven't been opened in 30 years.
16:23Then we start with those seven.
16:25From this page on, it's blank.
16:28But someone filled some in, and someone erased some.
16:32It's been 30 years.
16:33I still don't know who did it.
16:35Some things I hadn't touched in three years.
16:38But when that ledger opened to that page, my hands remembered it.
16:41Do you ever eat?
16:45Three months, 30 years of ledgers, and all 47 blank entries went through the same person.
16:51You didn't go back last night?
16:53I wouldn't have slept if I did.
16:55You're treating 30 years of ledgers like it's your own mess.
16:58She was right.
16:59For now, this is the only thing I can do.
17:01Three months, and you finished all 30 years?
17:03I did. 47 blank entries total.
17:05Did you find who did it?
17:07They all went through the same person.
17:0947 entries.
17:10One person handled them.
17:12That's not bad bookkeeping.
17:13Someone left that opening on purpose.
17:15Right.
17:16He wasn't stealing money.
17:17He was building a pipeline.
17:19You marked 17 in the last ledger.
17:21What about this one?
17:2226.
17:23It's getting worse.
17:24Because the further you go, the less they bother hiding it.
17:28When I got so busy I forgot to eat, she'd leave a pack of cookies on my desk.
17:35The first two months, I'd still think about Hela before bed.
17:38By the third, it was fading.
17:41What are you looking at?
17:42How someone cons peoples.
17:44Do you know that girl?
17:45No. I will.
17:47I wasn't angry at her.
17:49I just needed to know how he fooled her.
17:51Once I knew, I could settle it.
17:55I had Luca leak what was going on outside.
17:57People around her were starting to doubt Julian.
18:01Hela, I got pictures. You want to see them?
18:04No.
18:06You can't even look.
18:08I saw Julian at the mall last week.
18:10He was out shopping with some woman looking perfectly fine.
18:13You saw wrong.
18:14He's been getting treatment this whole time.
18:16I walked right past him.
18:18She was hanging on his arm and he was carrying her bags.
18:22Maybe she's family.
18:25Hela, you're not going to like this.
18:27You're living alone and you can't even get him to see you.
18:30But Evan, before he left, didn't he do everything he was supposed to?
18:35I had Luca leak it to her, piece by piece.
18:38She started asking around about me.
18:45The wedding cash gifts, all taken care of?
18:48Done.
18:49We returned all 27 cash gifts, one by one.
18:51The hotel and dress cancellation fees are paid too.
18:55Good.
18:57One more thing.
18:58She's still living in the old house you left her.
19:00Let her stay.
19:01You're not going to ask why?
19:02No need.
19:03Before I left, I wired her mother $10,000.
19:06Everything I was responsible for, I took care of.
19:09Cleanly.
19:10I didn't do it so she'd know.
19:11I did it so she'd never get to say I didn't.
19:17The names are with me.
19:18I decide when we move.
19:19I'm not in a hurry.
19:21Evan, should we show this page to the boss first?
19:24No.
19:24I found that page myself.
19:26I'll watch it.
19:2847 pages went blank over 30 years.
19:30One man handled all of them.
19:32He's dead but his name is still pulling in money.
19:35I've waited 30 years for this paper.
19:38Evan Cole.
19:39Two of those seven names are still doing business with us.
19:41Then we don't touch them.
19:43Don't touch them?
19:44Once they know I'm in the books, they'll come to me.
19:48I'm not in a hurry.
19:49I have the names.
19:50I decide when we move.
19:52From today on, the counting room, the list, and the outside routes answer to you.
19:58If anyone won't fall in line, send them to me.
20:01From today on, anyone who touched the books or took money in the last 30 years goes through me.
20:06No one outside knows yet.
20:13Last time you had something spicy, you were coughing for 10 minutes.
20:16I told the kitchen to make yours separately from now on.
20:20Four years together, and she never knew I was allergic to shellfish.
20:24Iris caught it in six months.
20:26Thanks.
20:27Don't thank me. Thank the kitchen.
20:30The last time I had something not spicy, it was in that classroom.
20:34If you can't finish it, I'll get you something else tomorrow.
20:37No need. This is good.
20:40The fourth one. You still going through it tonight?
20:43Yeah.
20:45Why that one?
20:46That one had the same name appear three times.
20:49Shh.
20:51In that hospital hallway, Peggy finally saw what kind of man he was.
20:56I didn't hear about what happened at the hospital until three days later.
21:00Three hours.
21:04Julian, what's that smell?
21:07I took the bus here, so I might have brushed against something.
21:10Really?
21:13When did this come in?
21:15Two hours after the hospital notified her.
21:17The day she gave birth, she made three calls.
21:20First me, my phone was off.
21:21Then Julian, he didn't pick up.
21:23The baby was premature.
21:25I thought I'd feel something.
21:27His voice on that call was gentle.
21:29He wasn't talking to Hela.
21:32Peggy, is he here?
21:33Yeah, he's outside on a call.
21:36He told me he had chemo today.
21:38He never even came into your room.
21:39His voice on that call was gentle.
21:41He wasn't talking to Hela.
21:45My father wore that ring for years.
21:47When Victor slid it over to me, I didn't take it.
21:50He slid the ring over, I didn't take it.
21:52Your father's.
21:53I told you, I'm not getting into this.
21:56You already are.
21:57You were in the second you finished those 47 pages.
22:01Sooner or later, someone sits at this desk.
22:04Next month is the annual gathering.
22:06Everyone who matters will be there.
22:07You're coming with me.
22:09Okay.
22:11Leave it there.
22:12Take it when you're ready.
22:16The annual gathering's in the south.
22:18I left the list on the table.
22:20That area's the old part of town.
22:22You know it?
22:23No.
22:24A lot of people are going to see you that day.
22:27I know.
22:28They won't be looking at you.
22:30They'll be looking at who's behind you.
22:31Then I'd better stand tall.
22:33My father wore that ring for years.
22:35After he died, it disappeared.
22:37Turns out Victor had it the whole time.
22:39There was an address on the list, where she moved after that.
22:42The venue isn't for business, not for her.
22:44I was going there for business, not for her.
22:46Half the people here today came to see you.
22:48I know.
22:50The other half came to see you fail.
22:52Then let them watch.
22:56She raised the baby alone.
22:57Stayed up with him alone.
22:59She kept calling me, but it never went through.
23:04Evan, the baby's starting to talk.
23:06It's okay if you don't answer.
23:08Later, she quit her job and lived off her savings.
23:10The place was in my name.
23:12I didn't make her move out.
23:13She cooked alone.
23:15Paid the bills alone.
23:16Spent her birthday alone.
23:18Those used to be my job.
23:21What you asked for.
23:22The child's registration records are in back.
23:26Want it filed?
23:27File it.
23:29Do you want to keep the photo?
23:31Keep it.
23:32Why?
23:34To remind myself what I should have seen sooner.
23:36You haven't asked about her once in six months.
23:39There's nothing to ask.
23:41Someone she sent reached one of our contacts in the south.
23:44Did they get anything?
23:45Nothing.
23:46Then let her keep asking.
23:48I used to think hating someone meant wanting their life to fall apart.
23:51Now I only think one thing.
23:53None of this is my problem anymore.
23:57She finally looked into it.
23:59The first thing she found out was that Julian was never sick.
24:03Hila, none of this felt off to you?
24:05A terminal cancer patient?
24:07Diagnosed almost a year ago?
24:09Never lost his hair?
24:10Never lost weight?
24:11And still looked perfectly healthy?
24:14He had more energy on trips than you did.
24:16Does that sound normal to you?
24:17I had my cousin look into it.
24:19He works in oncology at that hospital downtown.
24:22Julian did receive treatment there.
24:24But it wasn't lymphoma.
24:26Then what was it?
24:27Just swollen lymph nodes.
24:28He never had cancer.
24:29He altered the diagnostic report himself.
24:31The report was sloppy.
24:32It still fooled her for a year.
24:33You're saying he lied to me the whole time?
24:38She started digging.
24:40I knew two months before she did.
24:43Someone on her side started digging.
24:45Who?
24:45Her friend.
24:46Slow, but she's looking in the right place.
24:49Let her dig.
24:51I didn't do a thing.
24:53I just waited.
24:57Three pages lay in front of her.
24:59The case number, date, and signatures didn't match.
25:02Look at the case number.
25:03The hospital has no record of it.
25:05The font's off too.
25:07That line was added later.
25:08I'd seen that record two months earlier.
25:10I had Luca made three copies and put them in the archive box.
25:13He never had cancer?
25:15He wrote the whole thing himself.
25:16So all of it was fake?
25:18What he said?
25:19The cancer?
25:20That last wish?
25:21And you believed every word.
25:25They're moving in the city.
25:26This is from this morning.
25:28Pull everything we had before.
25:30Medical records.
25:31The altered report.
25:32Bank statements.
25:32Nothing missing.
25:33You want to move now?
25:34No.
25:35Get it all ready first.
25:36We wait for him to make the next move.
25:38What if he doesn't?
25:38Then he keeps living like this.
25:40I can live with that.
25:41I'd waited a long time for this moment.
25:43Not for revenge.
25:44Just to finally settle it with myself.
25:48Hela?
25:49Calling this late.
25:50Is something wrong with the baby?
25:52Julian.
25:52Was your illness even real?
25:54What are you talking about?
25:55It's clearly written on the report.
25:57Did someone say something to you?
25:58I checked.
25:58It was just swollen lymph nodes.
26:00You got better a long time ago.
26:01That report was fake.
26:02She finally asked the question.
26:04A year too late.
26:07He finally admitted it.
26:08He changed the report.
26:10And he made up the illness.
26:12Hela.
26:13How long have you been digging?
26:16Answer me.
26:17Fine.
26:18I changed the report.
26:19I made up the illness.
26:20So what?
26:22When someone lies to you for a year,
26:24finding out isn't the hardest part.
26:26It's knowing all that's left is regret.
26:28You already had my baby.
26:29You can't take that back.
26:31So that's what this was?
26:32Not just that.
26:34You're pretty, you had a job,
26:36and you know how to take care of people.
26:38You were worth the effort.
26:40What about my wedding?
26:41Why did you take that from me?
26:42Why did you take that from me?
26:45Because it was fun.
26:47I wanted to watch him go down in front of everyone.
26:49You can't buy a show like that.
26:51For this?
26:52I drove him away.
26:54That's not on me.
26:55You made your choice.
26:58What happened?
27:02He admitted it.
27:03Admitted what?
27:04What?
27:04The report was fake.
27:06He was never sick.
27:07Hella, now you know.
27:08So what now?
27:10I don't know.
27:11Then don't think about that yet.
27:13Take care of yourself and the baby first.
27:19She asked.
27:21What'd he say?
27:22He said he wasn't sick.
27:24Said he did it for fun.
27:25He thought he'd won.
27:26He had no idea that line was already in my archive box.
27:33He'd done the math for her.
27:34The baby was his.
27:35And her reputation was in his hands.
27:38She had no one left but him.
27:40Julian?
27:41He's not coming back, is he?
27:43He left.
27:44You know he won't answer your calls.
27:47Hella, be honest.
27:48Who else do you have now besides me?
27:50You're alone with a baby.
27:52Anyone who sees you will just feel sorry for you.
27:55So stop this.
27:58You're right.
27:59I don't have anyone else.
28:02That's better.
28:11Everything ready?
28:12Yeah.
28:13Medical records, the altered report, his marriage certificate, bank statements.
28:15It's all there.
28:16What if he doesn't show?
28:17He'll show.
28:18Men like him can't stand being ignored.
28:22A man who gets away with one lie doesn't stop.
28:25I was waiting for him to make the next move.
28:29Someone outside is asking around for your address for her.
28:32Give him a fake one.
28:34The man she's looking for is gone.
28:36She can look all she wants.
28:38It won't change anything.
28:44She found Julian's place.
28:46Who are you looking for?
28:48Is Julian here?
28:50She stood at the door for two minutes.
28:52In those two minutes, she saw what was on the wall.
28:55Hella?
28:56What are you doing here?
28:57You're married.
28:59You're Hella?
29:00He's mentioned you.
29:01He said you took care of him all through college.
29:04He also told me he'd been in the hospital the past six months.
29:08Is that right?
29:10What he didn't tell me is you had his baby.
29:13Ruby, don't listen to her.
29:14She's lying.
29:14Julian, I'll raise the baby myself.
29:16Stay out of my life.
29:1911 years and all she got was betrayal.
29:22And the one person who'd ever really been good to her had been gone for a year.
29:28He's married.
29:29The registration was after she got pregnant.
29:32I know.
29:33You want this in there too?
29:35Yes.
29:36Everything she did gave me more evidence.
29:38When I had enough, I'd speak.
29:43She stood outside the convention center a long time.
29:45I was inside.
29:47Let's go back.
29:48The baby's getting cold.
29:50A little longer.
29:51You sure you want to wait here?
29:53You can't get in without an invitation.
29:55I'll wait till he comes out.
29:57As the car passed her, I didn't look back.
30:00But I knew where she was.
30:02Her name was on the sign in sheet that day.
30:06Mr. Evan Cole, the materials from the south are here.
30:09Page three is off.
30:10Check it again.
30:12Someone's at the door.
30:13Been there three hours.
30:15We'll deal with it back at the estate.
30:17Mr. Evan Cole, those two from the south are here too.
30:20Let them wait.
30:22How long?
30:23Until they figure out why they're here.
30:25Around here, they call me Mr. Evan Cole.
30:28A little over a year ago, these hands were still drawing force params on a chalkboard.
30:43A dozen steps.
30:44And a child between us.
30:46A year ago, I would have gone over.
30:49Explained.
30:51Peggy, he's thinner.
30:53Yeah.
30:54He never used to wear suits like that.
30:56He saw you.
30:58Yeah.
30:59He didn't come over.
31:00Yeah.
31:04You know her.
31:05I do.
31:07Wanna go say something? I can wait.
31:09No.
31:10She's holding a baby.
31:12I know.
31:15A year and four months.
31:16A year and four months.
31:19He started posting.
31:21The more he writes, the more I have on him.
31:26Who's reading it?
31:27People in their social circle online.
31:29Some don't know the whole story, and they're already talking.
31:33He's still writing?
31:34One a day.
31:35He's trying to force me to respond.
31:38If you do, you're admitting it.
31:39Exactly.
31:40The more he writes, the less I can say.
31:45I saved the first one when he posted it.
31:49Over 20 people have already reposted it.
31:52Someone also called your mother.
31:55He went to my mother?
31:56This morning.
31:57He told her the child would have your last name.
32:01The child doesn't have my name.
32:02He was betting my mother didn't know the truth.
32:05People are already asking if you really abandon them.
32:08Let them ask.
32:09You're not going to explain?
32:11You explain things to people willing to hear them.
32:13Get everything ready. We don't wait this time.
32:18He called my mother's house.
32:20That crossed the line.
32:27Bob.
32:28Julian just called me.
32:29He's got some nerve calling you.
32:31Mrs. Cole, don't listen to him.
32:33He's been a liar from day one.
32:35I know.
32:36He said the child is ours.
32:37Does that kid have Evan's last name?
32:39He knows damn well whose child it is.
32:41He's using the child to force Evan back.
32:45Evan's only just found his footing up there.
32:47I won't let a man like that mess it up.
32:52I'll ask if he's willing to come back.
32:58Look at your son. He's just like you were.
33:04This time, I need to hit harder.
33:10He posted six in all.
33:11They've been shared more and more.
33:13How's my mother holding up?
33:15People have been calling.
33:19Get everything ready.
33:20You want to go back first?
33:21A few more days.
33:23How many?
33:27Wait till he's written everything he's going to write.
33:29He can come after me, but not my mother.
33:31This is over.
33:36People said another man took my woman and I said nothing.
33:39I gave them one answer.
33:41The score gets settled.
33:43Evan Cole.
33:44The talk outside has already reached the south.
33:46The year he was deceived, $110,000 went missing from the books.
33:51It's in the record.
33:53The record is the record.
33:55People out there just want to show.
33:57You're right. That's all they want.
34:03You're right.
34:03This isn't family business.
34:04It's a debt.
34:06He took my money, used my name, and he's still collecting under it.
34:10By the rules, we settle it.
34:12Three days.
34:13I'll go back and finish it.
34:15Go.
34:19I could have dug through the books.
34:21What I couldn't shut down was the way they looked at me.
34:23So I went back and ended it.
34:29What are you looking at?
34:31My own page.
34:33That page is hard to write.
34:35Get it right, it's yours.
34:36Get it wrong, it's still yours.
34:38Records from the south, his home address, his wife's contact info.
34:41It's all here.
34:43Evan.
34:44Don't carry this alone.
34:49That night I stayed in the counting room until very late.
34:51I hadn't told anyone about myself, but she understood in two sentences.
34:58Victor said he wouldn't clear my name.
35:00This page was mine to write.
35:04Whatever they're saying out there, I won't clear your name for you.
35:08I know.
35:10If you want me to step in, I can shut them up today.
35:14But then you'll spend the rest of your life behind me.
35:18You straightened out the books yourself.
35:20You'll write this page too.
35:22What if I get it wrong?
35:24Then it's still yours.
35:25If I write it, it isn't.
35:29I'll go alone.
35:31No.
35:32Take Iris.
35:33She knows the books, and she knows people.
35:37The car's outside.
35:41Do you know why I'm going back?
35:43To settle the books.
35:45And one more thing.
35:47Someone's gonna stand in front of me and tell me the truth.
35:49That isn't in the ledgers.
35:52It is with me.
35:54The tank's full.
35:54It's a six hour drive.
35:57Let's go.
36:00My father died over books no one else could read.
36:03My mother took me away so I'd never come back.
36:05But she didn't count on this.
36:07Some scores wait.
36:09If you don't settle them, they stay there.
36:16When I got back, I didn't go home.
36:19I didn't go to her.
36:20I went to see the man who called my mother first.
36:23You lost weight.
36:25Just like the boss said.
36:26We're going to your mom's first or handling business?
36:29I need to see someone first.
36:32Who?
36:33Julian.
36:35You just got back and that's your first stop?
36:39He called my mother.
36:42A year ago, I would have gone to see her first.
36:44Now I'm seeing the man who thought he could call my mother.
36:47How's his family now?
36:49He lives alone now.
36:50His wife left.
36:51You really dug into him.
36:52It wasn't me.
36:53Someone's been keeping tabs for me.
36:55He didn't ask where I'd been all year.
36:57Just what I wanted to do first.
37:01This past year, I've been fine.
37:05Fine?
37:06You were up north alone for over a year.
37:08What's fine about that?
37:10I was up at 6, in bed at midnight, going through 30 years of books.
37:15So, do you hate her?
37:17No.
37:18She just never took me seriously.
37:20That doesn't call for hate.
37:23I walked this street for 11 years.
37:25Now I'm just looking at it from this car like it belongs to somebody else.
37:31I went there for two reasons.
37:32The kid has nothing to do with me and he takes his post down.
37:37When he opened the door, that smile lasted maybe half a second.
37:41Evan?
37:42What are you doing here?
37:44Last year, he stood in my living room like he owned the place.
37:47Today, he was the guest in his own doorway.
37:50I only have two things to say.
37:52First, that child doesn't carry my name.
37:55He has nothing to do with me.
37:56Stop dragging my mother into this.
37:59Second, delete what you posted.
38:01Then set the record straight publicly.
38:03Otherwise, my lawyer takes over.
38:06The altered report, the fake records, the bank statements for that $110,000.
38:11I have the originals and the copies.
38:13Evan, hear me out.
38:15It's not what you think.
38:16Hella agreed to it.
38:16That child has nothing to do with me.
38:18I'm only saying this once.
38:19You have three days.
38:23You done?
38:24Almost.
38:26Then what?
38:27Back to my mom's.
38:29When I stood in front of him again, I realized I wasn't even angry anymore.
38:36You could have told me you were coming.
38:38It was last minute.
38:39The last time I walked through this door was the night before I left.
38:43Back then, I didn't think I'd ever come back.
38:46I heard what they're saying out there.
38:48Leave it.
38:49I'll handle it.
38:49That child doesn't have our name.
38:51No.
38:52Then that's enough.
38:54Where have you been staying this past year?
38:56Up north.
38:57I had a place to stay.
38:58Food to eat.
38:59This time, are you leaving again?
39:01In a few days.
39:02She only asked that one question and then said nothing more.
39:05She knew some things were no use asking.
39:09Mom, you don't have to do all that.
39:12Just sit.
39:14I've got things to handle tomorrow.
39:16I know.
39:16You've always been like this.
39:18If something's hanging over you, you can't eat.
39:21Mom.
39:23Yeah?
39:24You've been alone all these years.
39:26Have you been okay?
39:28I have.
39:29Just take care of your business.
39:31That's what matters.
39:32She didn't sit down with me.
39:34After all these years, she was used to alone.
39:36I didn't tell her what the north really was.
39:38It would have only made her worry more.
39:43She found my mother's place.
39:45Mom answered the door and didn't move.
39:47She stood downstairs for two hours.
39:49My mother saw her from the window.
39:51Mrs. Cole?
39:53Come in.
39:53It's cold out.
40:00Evan.
40:01I know you hate me.
40:03I don't hate you.
40:04Then why wouldn't you see me?
40:06There was no reason to.
40:07I know now.
40:09Julian lied to me.
40:10He was never sick.
40:11I know.
40:13You knew?
40:14Since when?
40:16That day at the hospital.
40:18I thought I'd have a lot to say when I saw her again.
40:20That day I only said four words.
40:23That day he grabbed my sleeve by the stairs.
40:25I looked up at him.
40:28A late stage cancer patient had just come back from the beach.
40:31Looking flushed and healthy.
40:34That's not what a dying man looks like.
40:36But back then she wouldn't have believed anything I said.
40:39He turns one next month.
40:41Hmm.
40:42Don't you want to see him?
40:43He's not my son.
40:47I didn't settle it that day.
40:48My mother did.
40:51You knew then?
40:52Why didn't you tell me?
40:53If I had would you have believed me?
40:56My mother never got angry.
40:58That day she finally said what she'd held in for 11 years.
41:01Hila, this shouldn't be coming from me.
41:03But since you're here I'm going to be clear.
41:05Evan loved you for 11 years.
41:07You know how you treated him.
41:09His father died because of that life.
41:11I raised him alone.
41:13For 11 years all I asked was that he stay away from it.
41:18He gave up so much for you.
41:20He knew everything about you and you didn't even know he's allergic to shellfish.
41:25He had every penny of that wedding ready.
41:27And you took his money and shot wedding portraits with another man.
41:32You got pregnant by another man.
41:34And even when you talked to Evan it was just a formality.
41:38Hila, tell me.
41:40In all these years was there even one day you truly cared about him?
41:44Mrs. Cole, I was wrong.
41:47Being wrong doesn't mean you get to do it over.
41:52Hila, if Julian starts anything over the child, go to Bob.
41:55I'm leaving tomorrow.
41:56This is where we end.
41:58Shh.
42:01Through the door, I heard my mother say one last thing to her.
42:04You chose this road.
42:07I heard every word from the other side of the door.
42:10Drink this before you go.
42:12It's cold out.
42:14Mrs. Cole, he was good to me.
42:16I know.
42:17I thought he'd always be there.
42:20I shouldn't have come.
42:22You're here now.
42:23Sit a while before you go.
42:25I don't even know who I can say I was wrong to anymore.
42:28Then don't.
42:29Say it to someone who wants to hear it.
42:31You chose this road.
42:32What you do from here is your choice too.
42:38A lot of people think a man still keeps some part of himself waiting for her to come back.
42:44I don't.
42:45I emptied that out too, same as that house.
42:48I didn't forgive her.
42:49That takes two people.
42:51This was only me, from start to finish.
42:53Be careful.
42:56She didn't ask why I was leaving.
42:58Maybe she knew I wasn't going back for a woman this time.
43:05His last move was showing up at my friend's office and making a scene.
43:09He thought that would force me to respond.
43:11I want to see Bob!
43:12He blasted my private business online!
43:14I'm suing him!
43:16Come in.
43:18This is the footage from outside this morning.
43:20The yelling, the shoving.
43:24It's all here.
43:25I've known Bob for 20 years.
43:26He never once asked me why.
43:28Add in your altered report,
43:30your marriage registration,
43:31and the $11,000 you took from the joint account.
43:36Julian,
43:37if all that goes up together,
43:40who looks worse?
43:41Bob!
43:42This is way out of line!
43:43What happened between me and Hela is none of your business!
43:47You don't get to use it against me.
43:52You used a fake report to trick a woman into having your child.
43:56Then you married someone else behind her back.
44:00And that still wasn't enough.
44:02You had to say the baby was Evans.
44:07I posted a few screenshots.
44:09If you think that's unfair, sue me.
44:15You never told us any of this!
44:17Didn't you say you were the one getting screwed over?
44:20Please leave.
44:21Your three days are up.
44:25He brought three guys with them.
44:27They were making a lot of noise.
44:30And?
44:31Then they left.
44:32Didn't say a word.
44:33Good.
44:35I didn't show my face.
44:37I didn't want him beaten.
44:38I wanted everyone who knew him to know.
44:44The night that long post went up,
44:45I had Bob prepare three things.
44:48He left her behind.
44:50I was the one who stayed with her this past year.
44:53Now that they have status,
44:55they come after little people like me.
44:58Heat needs to be turned up a little more.
45:01Every time he says one sentence,
45:03I save another copy.
45:05He thinks he's talking to me.
45:07He really posted it.
45:09Stay out of it.
45:10I'll handle it.
45:13What do you have?
45:14Security footage from the hospital stairwell.
45:17Peggy says she has it.
45:18Hela pulled it before.
45:20What else?
45:21His marriage certificate photo.
45:23The registration date was in her third month of pregnancy.
45:27Keep going.
45:28What else?
45:29The joint account.
45:30Six months, $110,000.
45:32Every note has his name on it.
45:34You sat on that for a year?
45:35I wasn't sitting on it.
45:37It was always meant to be here.
45:39He counts on people keeping quiet.
45:41I've been waiting a year for this day.
45:44Tomorrow morning or tomorrow night?
45:45Morning.
45:46When the most people are watching.
45:47Okay.
45:49A day sooner or later means nothing to him.
45:52But for her, the sooner she sees it, the better.
45:57Those three pieces sat in that archive box for a year.
46:01Today, they finally matter.
46:03Want me to add a caption?
46:05No.
46:06Just post them.
46:07Just like that?
46:09Just like that.
46:10It's already got over 200 comments.
46:13Keep watching.
46:15I posted it.
46:23It's up.
46:24What if he comes begging?
46:26Ignore him.
46:31Over a thousand shares already.
46:32He's deleting comments on his end.
46:34Let him.
46:35Want me to drop another batch of screenshots?
46:37No.
46:38The faster he deletes them, the more people will see it.
46:41I don't want people just trashing him online.
46:43I want everyone to know what he did.
46:46Starting tonight, wherever he goes, people will know his face.
46:48Shh.
46:52She threw him out.
46:53This time, she said it all herself.
46:56Hela, just say a few words for me online.
46:59Say what?
47:01Just one post.
47:02Say there was a misunderstanding between us.
47:04Say I never lied to you.
47:05Help me this once.
47:06Help me this once, and I'll give up custody.
47:09In the end, he still used the baby as leverage.
47:12It was all he had left.
47:14Julian, for a year, you played sick in front of me.
47:17One report, and you had me believing you were dying.
47:21You got me pregnant.
47:23You spent the wedding money Evan and I saved.
47:25You ruined my wedding.
47:27You destroyed the one relationship I should have treasured most.
47:30And now you're standing here asking me to defend you?
47:33Hela, I really did care about you.
47:36You like me?
47:38If you like me, then why would you lie to me?
47:41Why would you hurt the person who is truly good to me?
47:45You don't even know what love is.
47:47You only want what you can't have, and once you get it, you throw it away.
47:51Get out.
47:53Don't ever show your face to me again.
47:55I'll handle custody in court.
47:56You heard her.
47:57Get out.
48:02You okay?
48:03A lot better.
48:05She hired a lawyer.
48:07He didn't even get one.
48:08She'll win.
48:10When she closed that door, I was 600 miles away, checking next year's books.
48:15But I remember that day.
48:20There were over a hundred people there that day.
48:23Victor saved that seat for me in front of all of them.
48:31The year's top honor.
48:32He's the first one that young to get it.
48:34The boss wrote that list himself.
48:36I know.
48:38This year, one man went through 30 years of books.
48:4147 blank pages.
48:43He fills everyone himself.
48:47I've sat at this table for 40 years.
48:50Today, I leave that seat to him.
48:52I stood there for three seconds.
48:54Three years ago, I was grading papers alone in an empty classroom.
48:58And my red pen punched through the page.
49:01Today, I'm standing here, and more than a hundred people are applauding.
49:04But all I could think about was that worn-out ledger.
49:09We leave at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
49:11Don't be late.
49:14Eat in the morning.
49:15There are cookies in there.
49:16Don't finish them all at once.
49:19Okay.
49:21She never said much.
49:23She just left things where I'd see them.
49:26Are you nervous?
49:27No.
49:28Then why haven't you touched your fork all night?
49:31I'm watching people.
49:33Half the names in this room I've seen before.
49:35And the ledgers.
49:39She sent the letter through Bob.
49:41I held it, but I didn't open it.
49:45Hila asked me to bring this to you.
49:47She said you don't have to answer.
49:49You're not going to watch me open it?
49:52You've had a good year.
49:53I didn't want to drag you back into this.
49:55She also told me not to ask if you read it.
49:59Is everything settled on her end?
50:02She got custody.
50:03He gave it up.
50:04And his wife divorced him.
50:06He's back in his hometown now working as a delivery driver.
50:09Heard he never remarried.
50:12You really don't want to know how she's doing?
50:15How she's doing has nothing to do with me anymore.
50:22She wrote, you loved me for 11 years.
50:25I never appreciated a day of it.
50:27She wrote, you gave up so much for me and I don't even know what you're allergic to.
50:32She wrote, it's not that I didn't know how good you were to me.
50:36I just took it for granted.
50:38At the end, she wrote, it's too late.
50:46Winter had come.
50:48Things in the north and the south were finally settling down.
50:51That letter would stay at the bottom of the suitcase with everything else that was over.
50:56You read the letter?
50:59I did.
51:01Want me to answer her?
51:02No, let it sit.
51:04What about you?
51:05You're never answering her?
51:06If I answer once, she'll wait for the next one.
51:09Alright, got it.
51:10You really can shut that door.
51:12It's not cruelty.
51:13I just don't want her wasting another year waiting on one word from me.
51:16This ring's been in my pocket over a year.
51:18I never put it on.
51:19Not once.
51:20It wasn't spite.
51:22If I put it on, that was another road.
51:24No going back.
51:27She doesn't waste words.
51:28Just reminds me to eat breakfast.
51:33That winter, the north got buried in snow.
51:36On days like that, I used to work alone in my old apartment.
51:40Now, someone sends me my schedule in the morning and reminds me not to be late.
51:44That was probably the best thing anyone's ever said to me.
51:51This is my second wedding.
51:53This time, only a dozen people came.
51:55You two really kept even your wedding this simple, huh?
52:00Four years ago, I had a wedding booked.
52:02The venue, the photographer, the menu.
52:05I'd paid for all of it.
52:07This time, there are only a dozen chairs.
52:11But every one of them is someone I ask to be here.
52:16I'll eat properly.
52:17I won't work too late.
52:19And I remember you're allergic to pollen.
52:22There weren't many people there this time.
52:25But one hand stayed in mine the whole time.
52:28Her dress was simple.
52:30A little white flower by her ear.
52:32Nothing expensive.
52:34But every bit of it was right.
52:40Four years ago, when you called off the wedding, I figured you'd never get married.
52:44So did I.
52:46Then what?
52:49Then someone started leaving cookies on my desk whenever I forgot to eat.
52:54You people can make even falling in love sound boring.
52:57You changed.
52:59How?
53:00You used to say nothing.
53:02Now you say, it's nice.
53:06Boring's nice.
53:08Boring's nice.
53:10Bob told me a little about how she was doing.
53:13When he finished, I only had one thought.
53:16It was over.
53:19Oh, right.
53:20I heard a little about how she's been.
53:22Hmm.
53:24She went back home with the kid and opened a tiny flower shop.
53:27She's getting by.
53:29That guy never showed up again.
53:32He did delivery work back home.
53:34Then went down south for work.
53:37Never came back.
53:40Hearing all that, I felt calm.
53:43Like I was hearing somebody else's story.
53:48You want to pull off and take a look?
53:50It's only a few miles ahead.
53:55No.
53:58Those few miles aren't going anywhere.
54:00I just don't want to go.
54:01Some places you don't visit twice.
54:16Her texts were always short, but I could tell she was happy.
54:21Eleven years, four years, a little over one.
54:25Once I got here, it was all behind me.
54:28Eat. I made the pasta.
54:30That explains it.
54:31Explains what?
54:33Why it's so good.
54:35The pasta wasn't spicy.
54:38Someone had made sure the kitchen knew.
54:40When you're done, put the plate in the sink.
54:43This is due tomorrow.
54:45I looked it over. It's fine.
54:47When did you look at it?
54:48After you fell asleep.
54:50She never asked when I went to bed.
54:52She just did what needed doing, then waited up for me.
54:56I'll make breakfast tomorrow.
54:58Can you?
54:59I can learn.
55:00We have to get up early tomorrow.
55:02I know.
55:04Then why are you still sitting there?
55:07Just a little longer.
55:09She said nothing else.
55:11She just left the last light on for me.
55:13Whoo?
55:15Well going to cry.
