00:00:01Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
00:00:30Rested only three days, then started part-time as a server at the club where Lily worked
00:00:36People fight for this job, good daily pay plus tips
00:00:39I only brought you in because you're really struggling
00:00:42Relax, all you have to do is serve drinks, nothing else
00:00:45It's completely clean
00:00:49That night, I saw Dante sitting dead center in a private room with a crowd around him
00:00:57The wine was $25,000 a bottle
00:00:59He opened seven or eight
00:01:03The watch he tossed to a hostess on a whimper
00:01:07Was worth $200,000, they said
00:01:10Around dawn, he wiped the lipstick off his face
00:01:13Picked up the yellow delivery helmet beside him
00:01:16And stood up, saying he was going home
00:01:18Boss, you're still going back to that woman?
00:01:21Still playing the broke delivery boy in your little love game?
00:01:24Isn't the old man pushing you to lock down the engagement?
00:01:27End it, fast
00:01:28If she ever finds out who you really are, watch out, she'll latch on to you
00:01:32She could never pull that off
00:01:34I stood quietly in the dark corner, head bowed, obedient
00:01:37My abortion, $2,000
00:01:38Three days of eating better, another $100, $2,100
00:01:42Worth exactly one fruit platter in this private room
00:01:45I was that cheap
00:01:49Dante got home before I did
00:01:53When he called, I'd just changed out of my uniform
00:01:55And gotten paid for the night
00:01:56$500
00:01:58I held the money quietly
00:02:03A whole month at the warehouse only got me $20,400
00:02:07If we're short again, you're coming back
00:02:09I hesitated for two seconds
00:02:11Then shook my head
00:02:16Grandma taught me to earn things the honest way
00:02:18The money came easy, but it didn't sit right with me
00:02:21Alright, be careful getting home
00:02:22And text me when you get there
00:02:24The night bus always took forever
00:02:27I'd been on my feet all night
00:02:28Out in the cold wind
00:02:30My head hurt
00:02:31And so did my belly
00:02:33Dante had already called eight times
00:02:36I finally picked up on the ninth
00:02:37Where were you?
00:02:39Why weren't you answering?
00:02:40You left without saying a word
00:02:41Do you know how worried I was?
00:02:42I said nothing
00:02:43He realized he'd come on too strong
00:02:46Took a few deep breaths
00:02:47And softened his voice
00:02:49Where are you?
00:02:50I'll come get you and take you home, okay?
00:02:52The bus pulled in
00:02:53I got on
00:02:54And tapped my card
00:02:59No, I'm almost there
00:03:07When I got off
00:03:08Dante was waiting at the stop
00:03:10Still in his dirty delivery uniform
00:03:11The streetlight hit his sharp features just right
00:03:14Truth was
00:03:15He never looked like a delivery guy
00:03:16Even in that uniform
00:03:18He looked like he was shooting an ad
00:03:19Back then
00:03:20I thought it was just because I loved him
00:03:22Everything looked good on him
00:03:23An old t-shirt looked good
00:03:25Flip-fleeps looked good
00:03:26Even his hair flattened by the helmet looked good
00:03:29Everything about him looked good
00:03:31Everything about him made me love him more
00:03:34When Dante saw me, he didn't say a word
00:03:36He just took my canvas bag
00:03:38And touched my cheek
00:03:41Then he wrapped my cold hand tight in his
00:03:44You hungry?
00:03:45I got you fried rice
00:03:46Extra egg
00:03:47Back when we were broke
00:03:49Even an extra egg was a luxury
00:03:51He always asked for an extra egg
00:03:53It was always for me
00:03:55Dante wouldn't eat a single bite
00:03:57He gave it all to me
00:03:59Back then, I treasured every one of those memories
00:04:02I gave him my whole heart
00:04:04As long as we were together, I could take anything
00:04:09But to Dante, I didn't matter
00:04:11Not me
00:04:12Not my love
00:04:13Not even my child
00:04:15All of it together was worth one fruit platter
00:04:25The second we got home
00:04:27Dante shoved the fried rice in front of me
00:04:30I couldn't taste anything
00:04:31I just kept eating
00:04:33One bite after another
00:04:35None
00:04:38Ellie, I know you've been hurting these past couple of days
00:04:42But right now
00:04:43We really can't have this baby
00:04:45I can suffer through it
00:04:47But how can I let you and the baby suffer with me?
00:04:51Don't be sad, okay?
00:04:52I promise
00:04:53We'll have a baby someday
00:04:55Once I make something of myself
00:04:57I'll give you and our baby the best life
00:04:59The best
00:05:02I froze
00:05:03And then the tears just came
00:05:05Dante scrambled to wipe my tears
00:05:07Then pulled me tight against him
00:05:09And tried to calm me down
00:05:11Ellie, don't cry
00:05:12I'm not good enough
00:05:13I'm sorry
00:05:14I'm so sorry
00:05:15His voice was catching too
00:05:16He sounded so sad
00:05:18But all I could see was him in that private room
00:05:21Laughing with those women
00:05:22His hands all over them
00:05:23And that careless scoff of his
00:05:25She could never pull that off
00:05:28I clutched his shirt
00:05:29Wanting to ask
00:05:30What are you hiding from me?
00:05:32Why did you hide it from me?
00:05:34Was this fun for you?
00:05:35Did you lie to me on purpose?
00:05:38Or did you hide who you were
00:05:39Because you thought I was after your money?
00:05:41But I couldn't ask any of it
00:05:42All I could think about was everything we'd been through together
00:05:45All those days
00:05:46So sweet, so true
00:05:48The two of us inseparable
00:05:49Were they a lie?
00:05:50When I was cried out
00:05:51I went quiet in his arms
00:05:54Dante, do you love me?
00:05:56Silly girl, how could I not love you?
00:05:59I'd asked him that so many times before
00:06:01Not because I doubted him
00:06:03I just wanted to hear him say it
00:06:05But this time
00:06:06I couldn't look him in the eye
00:06:08No
00:06:08You don't love me
00:06:11Dante, you never loved me
00:06:16Early the next morning
00:06:17Dante woke to his alarm
00:06:20Usually I'd already have breakfast made
00:06:22And be waking him up
00:06:26But that morning
00:06:27I just lay there with my back to him
00:06:28He didn't say anything
00:06:30He got up quietly
00:06:31Washed up
00:06:32Then came back and kissed my forehead
00:06:36Ellie, I'm heading to work
00:06:37Get some rest
00:06:38I made 150 doing food delivery yesterday
00:06:40I sent you 120 for spending money
00:06:42If you go out, let me know first
00:06:44Don't disappear on me like last night, okay?
00:06:46I kept my eyes shut and ignored him
00:06:48He didn't mind
00:06:49He gently stroked my hair and left
00:06:52The door clicked shut
00:06:53I opened my eyes and got up
00:06:56Ten minutes later
00:06:57I was dressed and downstairs
00:06:58Just in time to see Dante ride off on his motorcycle around the corner
00:07:04I flagged down a cab and told the driver to follow him
00:07:07I had to find out where he was really going
00:07:09The cab kept its distance from the motorcycle
00:07:12You're tailing a cheating boyfriend?
00:07:14Maybe
00:07:15The motorcycle turned into a luxury apartment complex
00:07:18The cab couldn't get in
00:07:19I stayed patient and had the driver park nearby
00:07:23About half an hour later
00:07:24A black sedan came out
00:07:25The rear window was halfway down
00:07:27And I saw Dante in the back seat
00:07:30Rolls Royce
00:07:31Guy's got real money
00:07:32That car's expensive?
00:07:34Very
00:07:35Even the cheapest one runs over $500,000
00:07:38I followed Dante all day
00:07:40I saw a world I'd never known
00:07:42He rode in a car worth over half a million dollars
00:07:44With his own chauffeur
00:07:46He went into a bespoke suit shop
00:07:48One suit started at $20,000
00:07:49At a jewelry store whose name I couldn't even pronounce
00:07:52He bought a full set
00:07:56How much would a set like that cost?
00:07:58Cheap ones are tens of thousands
00:08:00Expensive ones?
00:08:01Millions
00:08:01I just know that brand is insanely expensive
00:08:04When night fell
00:08:05The Rolls Royce drove into the gated calamity
00:08:07They called the most expensive
00:08:10So
00:08:11You're still waiting?
00:08:12No
00:08:13Thanks
00:08:14I got out and handed the driver the Fae for the whole day
00:08:17Security's tight here
00:08:18Owner's okay or nobody gets in
00:08:20I nodded
00:08:21I'd never been anywhere like this
00:08:24Maybe God was done watching me make a fool of myself
00:08:27So he showed me enough to make me give up for good
00:08:30At the guard booth I saw Lily signing in
00:08:36Lily and I were from the same small town
00:08:38But we barely knew each other
00:08:40Last year she had her appendix out
00:08:42I signed the consent form and took care of her for a few days
00:08:46So if she was helping me find work now
00:08:48It was probably her way of returning the favour
00:08:52Lily
00:08:54This isn't a place for you
00:08:55I have a friend in there
00:08:56I just want to see him
00:08:57Don't worry I won't make trouble for you
00:09:00She thought it over
00:09:01Then nodded
00:09:03The gated community was so big
00:09:05They had shuttle carts running inside it
00:09:07I had no idea which house Dante had gone into
00:09:10But as luck would have it
00:09:11I saw him
00:09:12In the yard of the very house Lily was delivering the club's wine to
00:09:15The backyard was huge
00:09:17Bright as day with guests coming and going
00:09:20Dante was at the centre of it all
00:09:21Surrounded by people
00:09:22Talking politely to a woman in a beautiful dress
00:09:26That's Dante
00:09:27The head of the Russo family
00:09:28You know who they are?
00:09:31The docks, the casinos, the clubs
00:09:33Half the underground business in the city belongs to their family
00:09:36Around here nobody dares cross the Russos
00:09:38You know him?
00:09:40I shook my head then nodded
00:09:45Lily lit a cigarette
00:09:46Took a drub
00:09:47Then spoke
00:09:48For the last couple years guys like that have been playing a game
00:09:52They pick a pretty girl with no money and pretend they're broke
00:09:55At first it was just a bet
00:09:57Who could play poor best without getting caught?
00:10:02Then they figured out poor girls were easy to fool
00:10:04Every last one bought it
00:10:07Then the bet got uglier
00:10:09Who could get a girl pregnant
00:10:11Make her lose the baby
00:10:12And still keep her devoted?
00:10:15I heard not long ago Dante made a few hundred grand off that bet
00:10:21Her eyes landed on me
00:10:22One bow lifted
00:10:24The woman who got pregnant by Dante
00:10:26Lost the baby and won him a few hundred grand
00:10:29So it was you
00:10:34That night Dante came home very late
00:10:38He came in
00:10:38Kicked off his shoes
00:10:40Ellie
00:10:41And called my name
00:10:44I sat on the couch and looked up at him
00:10:47He came over with a little cake box in his hand
00:10:50All mysterious about it
00:10:52Look
00:10:53A customer gave it to me on a delivery
00:10:55It's her birthday
00:10:56She said she'd treat me to cake
00:10:57I looked it up
00:10:58This bakery's expensive
00:10:59Come on try it
00:11:01Tell me if it's good
00:11:02He opened it carefully
00:11:03And looked at me
00:11:05Waiting
00:11:07Over the years
00:11:08Dante would sometimes bring home expensive food
00:11:11Not often
00:11:12Every time
00:11:13He said some nice customer gave it to me
00:11:16Back then
00:11:17I'd light up
00:11:17Throw myself into his arms
00:11:19And say there were still good people in the world
00:11:22He usually wouldn't take a bite
00:11:23He said he wanted to save the best for me
00:11:25Back then
00:11:27It moved me
00:11:29Now I knew better
00:11:30All those things I could never have
00:11:32They were just leftovers from his parties
00:11:35Of course he didn't want them
00:11:37Of course he couldn't stomach them
00:11:39I forced a smile and felt ridiculous
00:11:42Why aren't you eating?
00:11:43Just try it
00:11:44When I start making money
00:11:45I'll buy you a bigger one
00:11:47I stiffly took a bite of cake
00:11:50I guess it tasted good
00:11:51But I couldn't tell how fancy the cream was
00:11:54Or who made it
00:11:56I reached up
00:11:57And pulled a chestnut brown hair from his collar
00:12:01Thin
00:12:01Long
00:12:02Slightly curled
00:12:05That's weird
00:12:05Where'd that come from?
00:12:07I haven't been around any woman but you
00:12:09Oh right
00:12:10The customer who gave me the cake tonight
00:12:11Had long brown curls
00:12:12Must have caught on my collar
00:12:13He said it so naturally
00:12:15Then I remembered
00:12:17This wasn't the first time
00:12:19Sometimes he'd come home smelling faintly like perfume
00:12:22Or alcohol
00:12:23It was always the customer wore too much perfume
00:12:26Or this customer orders delivery to hotels too
00:12:28And every time
00:12:30That was the end of it
00:12:31I never doubted him
00:12:33Eat
00:12:34I'm gonna take a shower
00:12:37He wound the hair around his finger
00:12:38And flicked it into the trash
00:12:41I set down the spoon
00:12:42And watched him walk away in silence
00:12:46All I could see was him laughing with that woman tonight
00:12:48That's Dante's fiance
00:12:50Tonight is her birthday party
00:12:52The two of them were about to get engaged
00:12:54Lily even showed me the digital invitation
00:12:56He was handsome
00:12:57She was beautiful
00:12:59They looked perfect together
00:13:01Ellie cut Dante off
00:13:03Fast
00:13:04His fiance's family is in the underworld too
00:13:06And she's not someone you want to cross
00:13:08If she finds out about you and Dante
00:13:10I can't promise what she'll do
00:13:12And don't expect Dante to protect you
00:13:14To him you matter less than one of his family's dogs
00:13:19What Lily said was harsh
00:13:21But the truth usually is
00:13:23Maybe I was a fool
00:13:25But not enough of one to miss what was right in front of me
00:13:36Lily, can I still work here?
00:13:39Didn't you say no before?
00:13:40What changed?
00:13:42I'm broke
00:13:43Honestly, all my cards together have
00:13:44Don't even add up to $200
00:13:45The warehouse job's too hard
00:13:49My body can't take it right now
00:13:53But it's almost the end of the month
00:13:56I have to send my aunt the money
00:13:59Or they'll throw grandpa out
00:14:02My mom got around when she was young
00:14:04I still don't know who my father is
00:14:08Then she got sick and died
00:14:09And grandma raised me
00:14:11My uncle and aunt always resented it
00:14:16Grandma's too old to live alone now
00:14:18But she won't come to the city with me
00:14:21So I made a deal with my uncle and aunt
00:14:23I pay them $1,800 a month to look after grandma
00:14:26One day late
00:14:27And they throw grandma out
00:14:29Lily had probably already heard about my family
00:14:31So she didn't ask
00:14:33Be here at 6
00:14:34Don't be late
00:14:35While I was changing
00:14:36She asked me one thing
00:14:38You done with Dante?
00:14:39No
00:14:40Honestly, I wanted to do what they do on TV
00:14:42Just walk away clean
00:14:43But the truth is
00:14:44I can't even make rent
00:14:45Where was I supposed to go?
00:14:46Sleep on the street?
00:14:47Lily sighed
00:14:48She looked like she wanted to say something
00:14:49But stopped herself
00:14:50I didn't ask if I could stay with her
00:14:52And you can't keep depending on other people forever
00:14:54Getting me this job was enough
00:14:58In my time working at the club
00:14:59I ran into Dante twice more
00:15:01He still didn't recognize me
00:15:03Still threw money around
00:15:05Still sat in the middle
00:15:06Surrounded by people
00:15:08I was seeing that other side of him more and more clearly
00:15:11Or maybe I was finally seeing the real him
00:15:14On the 25th
00:15:16I scraped together enough
00:15:17And sent it to my aunt
00:15:19I had a little over 600 left
00:15:22I figured I'd find some cheap place in the next couple days
00:15:25And move out
00:15:27Dante had already noticed my silence
00:15:30He kept asking what was wrong
00:15:31I didn't know what to say
00:15:34Maybe I was a coward
00:15:35I couldn't stand what the truth would look like out in the open
00:15:39Better to just leave without a word
00:15:41But fate had other plans
00:15:44The night before I was going to leave
00:15:48My uncle called
00:15:56Your grandma fell down the stairs
00:15:58Her bones are shattered
00:16:03My mind went blank
00:16:06I stood there for a few seconds before I could even speak
00:16:10Then I'll come back right now
00:16:11What for?
00:16:13You got money to burn?
00:16:14Save the fare and send it to me
00:16:16How much?
00:16:18Send $20,000 for now
00:16:19If it's not enough I'll ask for more
00:16:22Hurry up!
00:16:23The hospital's demanding payment
00:16:25The call ended
00:16:26I just stood there not knowing how long
00:16:36Dante came in
00:16:37Looked at me
00:16:38Then at the half-packed suitcase by my feet
00:16:42And frowned
00:16:45Ellie, what are you doing?
00:16:49I snapped out of it and spoke
00:16:50My voice harpy
00:16:53Dante
00:16:54Grandma fell down the stairs
00:16:56My uncle says we need $20,000
00:17:00Can you lend me some money?
00:17:03Dante said nothing
00:17:05He just stood there
00:17:06Avoiding my eyes
00:17:09Ellie, it's not that I don't want to help
00:17:13You know, my cards are maxed out
00:17:15My credit's shot
00:17:17And no bank will lend me a dime
00:17:21In that moment
00:17:22I wanted to ask him how he could say that
00:17:25You'd open $25,000 bottles of wine
00:17:28Seven or eight in a night
00:17:29I was only asking to borrow $20,000
00:17:32Alone, not a handout
00:17:34I'd cried with you
00:17:35Laughed with you
00:17:36Given you every first I had
00:17:38I even had an abortion for you
00:17:40And you turned me down just like that
00:17:42Couldn't you even hesitate for two seconds?
00:17:48The room went quiet
00:17:51I nodded
00:17:53Okay, I get it
00:17:55Dante stepped closer
00:17:58Then
00:17:59What are you going to do?
00:18:01It's okay
00:18:02I can apply for a loan
00:18:07But I knew my situation
00:18:10I never wasted money
00:18:11So the loan apps never gave me much
00:18:15But it was fine
00:18:16I'd scrape it together somehow
00:18:19I sat there quietly
00:18:20Trying one loan app after another
00:18:22Adding up how much I could piece together
00:18:25Dante quietly made me a bowl of noodles
00:18:31He was always bad at that kind of thing
00:18:33At first he couldn't even prep vegetables
00:18:35Half the time he'd peel an apple down to the core
00:18:39I never minded
00:18:40I thought when two people are together
00:18:42You help each other
00:18:42I could do more
00:18:44So I did
00:18:45Can you pull it together?
00:18:47If you're still short
00:18:48I'll go ask my friends
00:18:50I looked up at him
00:18:52Right in front of me
00:18:53He started making calls
00:18:54Every call was on speaker
00:19:01Every one of them was a no
00:19:04Most of the time
00:19:05The second he said he needed to borrow money
00:19:07They either hung up
00:19:08Or said they were strapped too
00:19:13Forget it Dante
00:19:14I'm tired
00:19:16I didn't have the energy
00:19:18To watch you put on a show for me anymore
00:19:21Dante looked at me
00:19:22Started to say something
00:19:24Then stopped
00:19:26By the end
00:19:26The noodles had clumped together
00:19:28Cold
00:19:32I didn't throw them out
00:19:34I added a little hot water
00:19:36Stirred them
00:19:37And ate
00:19:41When you're poor
00:19:42You don't get to have pride
00:19:43I couldn't bear to waste it
00:19:50Then I took the clothes
00:19:51Out of that half-packed suitcase
00:19:52And put them back
00:19:54One by one
00:20:01Grandma was still in the hospital
00:20:04I couldn't go anywhere now
00:20:07Like Dante
00:20:08I started leaving at dawn
00:20:09And coming home late
00:20:20Besides the club
00:20:21I picked up day labour shifts
00:20:22At a warehouse
00:20:23Through an agency
00:20:32Little by little
00:20:33I was coming home
00:20:34Even later than he was
00:20:38He stopped asking
00:20:39Why I was late
00:20:41We slept in the same bed
00:20:42Back to back
00:20:43In silence
00:20:46I knew he wanted to reach over
00:20:48And touch me
00:20:49More than once
00:20:51I just squeezed closer
00:20:52To the edge of the bed
00:20:54One more inch
00:20:55And I'd have hit the floor
00:20:57I pieced together the limits
00:20:59On every loan app
00:21:02And finally paid the hospital
00:21:03Its $20,000 deposit
00:21:08They pulled grandpa through
00:21:10She called me from uncle's phone
00:21:16I know you have no money
00:21:21At my age
00:21:22I've lived long enough
00:21:24I'm done with treatment
00:21:26No way
00:21:27You're getting treated
00:21:29If you actually died
00:21:30That'd be the end of it
00:21:31But if you skip the surgery now
00:21:33You'll be paralyzed
00:21:37Your granddaughter's living it up
00:21:39In the big city
00:21:39And meanwhile you get to run
00:21:41Your son and his wife
00:21:41Into the burn
00:21:42Is that it?
00:21:44Then uncle just grabbed
00:21:45The phone away
00:21:46The doctor says
00:21:47The old lady needs that
00:21:48Hip replacement surgery
00:21:49I asked
00:21:50All in
00:21:51It's $100,000
00:21:52Start raising the money
00:21:57I won't beat around the bush
00:21:58If she ends up paralyzed
00:21:59There's no way we're taking care of her
00:22:01If you don't pay
00:22:02Then starting today
00:22:03Your aunt and I
00:22:04Are not setting foot
00:22:05In that hospital again
00:22:07I closed my eyes
00:22:08My nails dug into my palms
00:22:09Until they bled
00:22:10Give me a little time
00:22:11I'll get the money together
00:22:12Make it fast
00:22:13The hospital won't wait
00:22:15I hung up
00:22:16Took a few deep breaths
00:22:17Wiped my tears
00:22:18Put on a smile
00:22:19And turned around
00:22:20Behind me stood a man
00:22:21Watching me with an unreadable look
00:22:24The club's hallways
00:22:25Were thickly carpeted
00:22:26Footsteps made no sound at all
00:22:28I had no idea
00:22:29How long he'd been standing behind me
00:22:32I'm sorry sir
00:22:33I shouldn't have taken a call on shift
00:22:35Every guest in that club
00:22:36Was rich or powerful
00:22:37Not one of them
00:22:38Someone I could afford to offend
00:22:40His eyes stayed on me
00:22:41It was a long moment
00:22:42Before he spoke
00:22:43With a soft laugh
00:22:45They used to say
00:22:45Every club server
00:22:46Had the same story
00:22:47A gambling dad
00:22:48A sick mom
00:22:49A little brother in school
00:22:50And a broken home
00:22:51I thought that routine
00:22:52Had gone out of style
00:22:53So what's next for you?
00:22:55Warming some clients bed?
00:22:57Not necessarily
00:22:58Maybe I'll sell my blood instead
00:23:01I guess when you're pushed far enough
00:23:03Your brain stops working
00:23:04I no longer cared
00:23:06What talking back to a guest would cost
00:23:07Losing my job
00:23:09Or dragging Lily into it
00:23:10But the moment the words were out
00:23:12I regretted them
00:23:15I'm sorry sir
00:23:16My head isn't right today
00:23:17Please don't hold it against me
00:23:19Fine
00:23:20Off you go
00:23:20I'll let it slide
00:23:22I'm not that penny
00:23:24I hunched my shoulders
00:23:25And hurried away
00:23:28After the shift
00:23:29I stopped Lily
00:23:30And told her what had happened
00:23:32It's fine
00:23:33Don't stress
00:23:33Not every guest keeps score
00:23:35I twisted the fringe of my shirt
00:23:37And steadied myself
00:23:38Lily
00:23:39Could I maybe
00:23:40Stop working as a server?
00:23:43She looked at me
00:23:45She clearly knew what I meant
00:23:47I know you need money right now
00:23:49Your family's trouble
00:23:50Have you told Dante?
00:23:53I have
00:23:54I wanted to borrow $20,000 from him
00:23:56He said there was nothing he could do
00:23:57Lily gave a scornful little laugh
00:24:00Then quickly put it away
00:24:02Let me think
00:24:04Don't worry
00:24:05Since we're from the same town
00:24:06I'll do my best not to throw you to the wolves
00:24:19She didn't keep me waiting long
00:24:20Lily called first thing the next morning
00:24:22Skip the warehouse today
00:24:24Come to the club early this afternoon
00:24:26I've booked you a makeup artist and a stylist
00:24:28Okay
00:24:30Don't eat anything with a strong smell
00:24:32Okay
00:24:33After a pause she added
00:24:35You can still back out
00:24:38I've got enough regrets already
00:24:39I don't want this to be one of them
00:24:46By the time Dante got up
00:24:47Breakfast was ready
00:24:51You're not going to the warehouse today?
00:24:53No
00:24:53Not today
00:24:58He studied my face
00:24:59I guess he thought I was in a good mood
00:25:01Because he softened too
00:25:04He came over
00:25:05Pulled me into his arms
00:25:06And gently rocked me
00:25:13Is grandma doing any better?
00:25:16She's awake
00:25:18The doctor says she needs a hip replacement
00:25:20We need $100,000
00:25:22The air went dead still
00:25:29But my uncle said they confront it
00:25:31And I'll pay it back slowly
00:25:34I've been wiped out lately
00:25:36I just want today off
00:25:39Ellie I
00:25:40Eat
00:25:43I don't want to talk about this today
00:25:46The oatmeal was warm and sweet
00:25:49I had half a bowl
00:25:52Then I'm skipping work too
00:25:54I'll stay home with you today
00:25:56You don't have to
00:25:59I'm going shopping with a friend
00:26:00Go to work
00:26:01Really don't worry about me
00:26:07He hesitated
00:26:08Still worried
00:26:09Then sent me $200
00:26:13Go eat something good
00:26:15Don't cheap out
00:26:16You've gotten too skinny
00:26:23Right before he left
00:26:24He ruffled my hair
00:26:25And kissed my cheek
00:26:31Wait for me
00:26:32Okay
00:26:39I watched him leave
00:26:46Then I took a breath
00:26:47Cleaned the whole place
00:26:48And packed up everything that was mine
00:27:12A little afternoon
00:27:13I headed out
00:27:22When I got there
00:27:23Lily got straight to it
00:27:27I found a man to keep you
00:27:29The man you met that night
00:27:34His name's Marcus
00:27:35He's five years older than you
00:27:38Bit of a player
00:27:39But no nasty habits
00:27:46He's into you
00:27:47Wants to keep you for a while
00:27:49Sign this
00:27:50And $100,000 hits your account
00:27:56I opened the contract
00:27:58And just stared at it
00:28:03I thought I was here to pour drinks
00:28:05One man
00:28:06No drinking with clients
00:28:08No working the room
00:28:09It's better than serving in private rooms
00:28:13I asked around
00:28:14The women who were with Marceau
00:28:16Mostly parted on good terms
00:28:21When he's done
00:28:22You take the money
00:28:23Go back home
00:28:23Buy a place
00:28:24Bring grandma
00:28:25And start over
00:28:33Ellie
00:28:34You need to take this chance
00:28:36You still have a life ahead of you
00:28:38Don't give up on yourself
00:28:43It was the first time Lily
00:28:45Had ever looked at me that seriously
00:28:54They did my makeup
00:28:56Fixed my hair
00:28:56And had me try on a bunch of dresses
00:28:59For once
00:29:00The woman in the mirror looked beautiful
00:29:05Not bad
00:29:06Come on
00:29:07Don't keep him waiting
00:29:15In the private room
00:29:16Marcus looked me over from head to toe
00:29:20Then nodded
00:29:23Not bad
00:29:26Money well spent
00:29:28You look good without makeup too
00:29:30Just tired
00:29:31Guess you haven't been sleeping
00:29:39Lily
00:29:39Set her up with a few good med spas
00:29:42A woman's gotta take care of herself
00:29:44Or she ages fast
00:29:47Lily flashed an okay sign
00:29:48Shot me a look
00:29:50And let herself out
00:29:52Come here
00:29:56I walked over stiffly
00:29:57I almost twisted my ankle
00:29:59But I caught myself
00:30:01Relax
00:30:02I'm not gonna bite
00:30:04Lily explained it right
00:30:05This is your choice
00:30:07I'm not forcing you
00:30:09I nodded obediently
00:30:12Where are you staying?
00:30:14I froze for a second
00:30:15Then gave him the address
00:30:18Southside?
00:30:19That old apartment complex?
00:30:21Yes
00:30:23Let's go
00:30:24Where to?
00:30:26To move you out
00:30:29I'm not coming back to a dump like that to find you
00:30:32He walked fast
00:30:33In heels
00:30:34I had to half run to keep up
00:30:37You gonna make it?
00:30:38Don't roll an ankle
00:30:42He'd given me that much money
00:30:44Whether I could or not
00:30:45I had to keep up
00:30:48Forget it
00:30:49Take my arm
00:30:52I took his arm carefully
00:30:54When he didn't pull away
00:30:56I finally relaxed
00:31:02The moment we stepped out of the club
00:31:04I saw them
00:31:06Dante and his people
00:31:07Standing right by the door
00:31:09They were laughing
00:31:10I caught bits of it
00:31:12A bet
00:31:13One hundred thousand dollars
00:31:15Maybe she'll even cry tears of gratitude
00:31:18I lowered my head without thinking
00:31:20Afraid he'd see me
00:31:22Then my phone lit up
00:31:23Dante was calling
00:31:26Phone call?
00:31:27Take it
00:31:28I hesitated for two seconds
00:31:30Then answered
00:31:31Ellie
00:31:32Guess what?
00:31:34I've got good news
00:31:35No idea
00:31:37A friend of mine won the lottery
00:31:40He'll lend us one hundred thousand dollars
00:31:43Isn't that great?
00:31:46Grandma's surgery is covered
00:31:48While he talked
00:31:50His friends stood there
00:31:51With their hands over their mouths
00:31:52Shaking with laughter
00:31:56He wasn't exactly keeping his voice down
00:31:59Marcus gave a quiet
00:32:01Contemptuous snut
00:32:03Thanks
00:32:06But I don't need it anymore
00:32:07I already got the money
00:32:10What?
00:32:12I hung up
00:32:15At the same time
00:32:16The valet pulled up Marcus' sports car
00:32:19Get in, poor thing
00:32:22They all turned to look at us
00:32:26I looked up and met Dante's eyes
00:32:30He froze for two seconds
00:32:32Then started towards us
00:32:34I looked away and got in the car
00:32:39Ellie?
00:32:40When I ignored him
00:32:41He came faster
00:32:43Louder
00:32:43Then he shouted my full name
00:32:47Elena Carter
00:32:50You know him?
00:32:52No
00:32:54Marcus stopped Dante in his tracks
00:32:56Mr. Russo
00:32:57I was here first
00:32:58She's with me now
00:33:03What the hell are you talking about?
00:33:05She's my girlfriend
00:33:07Ellie, get out of the car
00:33:09I can explain
00:33:11Oh?
00:33:13She says she doesn't know you, Mr. Russo
00:33:18Delusions at your age?
00:33:22You should get that checked out
00:33:24Then he got in and started the car
00:33:27Dante pounded on my window
00:33:29Trying to get me out
00:33:30I just kept looking straight ahead
00:33:34I'd left my feelings with him for far too long
00:33:39And in that moment
00:33:40I took them all back
00:33:46Marcus followed me back to the apartment
00:33:50He'd probably never been anywhere this rundown
00:33:54The whole way in he kept looking around
00:33:57I opened the door and went into the bedroom to pack
00:34:01When I came back out
00:34:03He was holding a framed photo
00:34:06It was me and Dante
00:34:09I thought you said you didn't know him
00:34:12Looks like you two were pretty damn close
00:34:17I lied to you
00:34:19Are you mad?
00:34:22Not that mad
00:34:24I told you I'm not that petty
00:34:27Besides, I don't dig into a woman's past
00:34:30That's all you're taking?
00:34:32Yeah
00:34:37Then I grabbed another bag
00:34:39And stuffed in the rest of the pictures
00:34:41I was going to throw them out downstairs
00:34:46We're leaving already?
00:34:48Yeah
00:34:48I don't want any trouble
00:34:54I didn't want to hear Dante out
00:34:56Or answer his questions
00:34:58I just wanted to get away from him
00:35:00As far as I could
00:35:11On the way down
00:35:12I threw the bag of photos in the dumpster outside
00:35:17By the way, did Lila tell you?
00:35:19Most of my business is in London
00:35:20Not here
00:35:22So you're taking me with you?
00:35:24Wasn't planning on it
00:35:26I was interested because I was feeling nostalgic
00:35:29It's been a while since I'd seen a woman this pitiful
00:35:32But tonight
00:35:34You got me a little more interested
00:35:36So
00:35:38You coming with me?
00:35:44But I don't even have a passport
00:35:50Maybe it was how casual he sounded
00:35:52And are we leaving right away?
00:35:56I want to go back to my hometown first
00:35:58See Grandma
00:36:01Where's back home?
00:36:03But my place isn't in town
00:36:06After the train, it's another hour's drive out in the country
00:36:14That pitiful look of yours never lets up, does it?
00:36:17Fine
00:36:18I'll go with you
00:36:21I stared at him
00:36:23Stunned
00:36:24I grew up in the city
00:36:25I've never seen the real countryside
00:36:28You can show me around
00:36:30He flashed me a grin
00:36:37Somewhere through the haze
00:36:38I suddenly had a feeling
00:36:41Maybe God was fair after all
00:36:45There are men like Dante
00:36:46Who treat people's hearts like toys
00:36:48And men like Marcus
00:36:50Who do something kind like it's nothing
00:36:56I took Marcus back to my hometown
00:37:00I figured a rich guy like him would make a big entrance
00:37:03Maybe even bring in a helicopter
00:37:09Watch less TV
00:37:10I'm not that over the top
00:37:15The train went straight to the town closest to home
00:37:18I'd taken it plenty of times
00:37:20Always in the cheapest seat
00:37:21Thanks to him
00:37:23I was in first class for the first time
00:37:26I had no idea how to use any of those buttons
00:37:38You're hopeless
00:37:41I even got the train meal
00:37:49You think that's good?
00:37:51Not really
00:37:52Mine's better
00:37:53But I wasn't about to waste food
00:37:56What are you saying?
00:37:57You want to cook for me?
00:37:58Trying to win a man's heart through his stomach?
00:38:00No
00:38:01I cooked for Dante for three years
00:38:03Didn't win his heart or his stomach
00:38:06Besides, people like you have real chefs
00:38:07I wouldn't stand a chance
00:38:12Tell me your story
00:38:13I like stories
00:38:15There wasn't much to tell in my twenty-some years
00:38:18So I told him everything from the start
00:38:20Even the part with Dante
00:38:24Lily told me not to be too honest with men
00:38:26Leave a little mystery
00:38:28But Marcus had seen it all
00:38:30Anything I tried to hide would have looked clumsy
00:38:32He gave me the money without hesitation
00:38:35I had nothing else to give him
00:38:36The least I could do was satisfy his curiosity
00:38:40When we got off the train
00:38:42A driver was waiting with a sign
00:38:46That was thoughtful
00:38:48It's hard to get a ride out here now
00:38:53By the way, my family is definitely going to think you're my boyfriend
00:38:55You're young and you're handsome
00:38:57If they say anything, don't take it seriously
00:39:01I'm always polite to my elders, okay?
00:39:06I ignored him and checked the money in my account again
00:39:11I came back for two reasons
00:39:13To see grandma and bring the money for her surgery
00:39:19It was too much money for me
00:39:21I didn't feel safe wiring it to Joe
00:39:25I had to hand it to the hospital myself
00:39:27Before I could rest easy
00:39:31When Marcus wasn't smiling
00:39:32He had a real edge to him
00:39:35Anybody could see he had money
00:39:38Joe and May had always been snobs
00:39:40Their one redeeming quality
00:39:42Was knowing who they couldn't afford to offend
00:39:46So they were extra polite to Marcus
00:39:49Grandma looked pale
00:39:51But she was so happy to see me
00:39:56She held my hand and kept talking
00:40:00So when are you two getting married?
00:40:04Married?
00:40:05Not a chance
00:40:06I wasn't planning to marry anyone
00:40:09Marcus was especially gentle with grandpa
00:40:11Whatever she said, he just went along with it
00:40:16It seemed he really hadn't lied
00:40:19He was polite to his elders
00:40:27When I came out of the room
00:40:28I spoke to the doctor again about grandma
00:40:33She was old
00:40:37The surgery wouldn't be easy
00:40:48I got a specialist surgeon
00:40:50He'll handle the operation
00:40:53I'd never heard the name
00:40:54The doctor had
00:40:56He practically jumped
00:40:58Don't look at me like that
00:41:00Can you stop acting like you're nothing?
00:41:04That look is exactly what makes you seem cheap
00:41:08You know that?
00:41:11But you paid for the surgery
00:41:13Got grandma a specialist
00:41:14Came back home with me
00:41:15And you've been good to me
00:41:21I'm not short on money
00:41:24Grandma's surgery costs less than one meal for me
00:41:26And that specialist?
00:41:28One phone call
00:41:32I went back home with you
00:41:33Because I was curious about small town life
00:41:38I treat you well because I'm a normal person
00:41:43You didn't do anything to me
00:41:47So what, I'm supposed to snap at you for no reason?
00:41:55Your stories
00:41:57Who you are
00:41:58The fun you bring me
00:42:01That's worth every dollar I've spent on you
00:42:04At least in that
00:42:05We're even
00:42:09If I didn't think you were worth it
00:42:13I wouldn't spend a dime on you
00:42:16So stop selling yourself short
00:42:22Compared to me, sure, your price tag's lower
00:42:25But you're not that cheap
00:42:30The more he said
00:42:31The more it got to me
00:42:33So he rushed to get the warnings out first
00:42:37I'm warning you
00:42:40A lot of women fall for me because I'm good to them
00:42:45Don't be one of them
00:42:48I could lose interest in you anytime
00:42:51This arrangement could end anytime too
00:42:52So behave yourself
00:42:56Don't get ideas
00:42:58I smiled
00:42:59For once
00:43:01There was nothing dark in it
00:43:02Don't worry
00:43:04I'm as well behaved as they come
00:43:11I took Marcus to see the old house I used to live in back home
00:43:17It had been empty for years
00:43:19Half the old clapboard farmhouse had already caved in
00:43:26So where are you staying while you're back?
00:43:29At my uncle's place
00:43:31Just a few days
00:43:32I'll cover my share
00:43:34They don't treat you well, do they?
00:43:38They're leeches
00:43:41And out here, how is your grandma costing $1,800 a month?
00:43:48Honestly, I get it
00:43:51My uncle has two sons
00:43:53One just got married and had a baby
00:43:55And the other is still in school
00:43:58My uncle and aunt only pick up odd jobs nearby
00:44:02And they still have grandpa to look after
00:44:07They're under a lot of pressure
00:44:10They weren't exactly good to me
00:44:13But when I was little
00:44:15They did buy me a few sets of new clothes
00:44:17And they went to my parent-teacher conferences
00:44:22That's what poor people's lives are like
00:44:24One big tangle
00:44:27They'll grab a little advantage where they can
00:44:32But there's no real malice in them
00:44:35Nobody's wishing anyone harm
00:44:37Marcus said nothing
00:44:40You think I'm stupid, don't you?
00:44:41Always making excuses for everyone?
00:44:44A little
00:44:44Work on that
00:44:48Otherwise, you'll never hold on to money
00:44:49I do have my limits
00:44:57I even thought about saving up and fixing this place
00:45:01Doesn't look like it
00:45:02But my family still has some land
00:45:04If I really can't make it in the city
00:45:06I can come back and farm
00:45:08I won't starve
00:45:12But I have to support grandpa now
00:45:15I need to make money
00:45:19Oh
00:45:20So that's why you asked me for another $2,000 last night?
00:45:26No, I just
00:45:27Grandma still needs money to recover after surgery
00:45:30That's why I asked to borrow it
00:45:33I said I'd pay you back
00:45:35Oh, please
00:45:38If I actually took that $2,000 back
00:45:43You'd be calling me cheap in your head
00:45:47I would not
00:45:49And if you're going to ask me for money
00:45:51At least go big
00:45:52Last night, I would have said yes to anything
00:45:55And you asked for $2,000
00:45:59I stopped talking
00:46:05After all, I was a decent woman
00:46:07I couldn't say whatever I wanted like he did
00:46:15I didn't know if Dante had looked for me
00:46:22I had a new phone
00:46:24A new number
00:46:26Whether he looked or not didn't matter anymore
00:46:28I stayed back home for a week
00:46:39Grandma's surgery went well
00:46:40So I stayed two more days to take care of her
00:46:47Grandma sat there in her wheelchair
00:46:49Smiling
00:46:50Telling me to live well
00:46:56The day my passport came through
00:46:58Marcus and I left
00:47:02Honestly, I didn't think Marcus would stay interested for long
00:47:13Maybe in two months
00:47:14I'd be back fixing up the house
00:47:16And staying with Grandma
00:47:17At the airport
00:47:17The plane took off
00:47:20It was my first time on a plane
00:47:27We broke through the white clouds
00:47:29Into a bright blue sky
00:47:30It was beautiful
00:47:36What's so great about it?
00:47:39That's what he said
00:47:40But he didn't make me close the shade
00:47:44You want to try the airplane food?
00:47:46It's awful too
00:47:50Marcus?
00:47:53Yeah?
00:47:55Thank you
00:47:56Marcus froze for two seconds
00:48:02Are you blushing?
00:48:05Shut up
00:48:06Sleep
00:48:10You were at it till midnight last night
00:48:12How do you still have this much energy?
00:48:17I told you
00:48:18I used to do day labor at a warehouse
00:48:20That kind of work takes real stamina
00:48:28I mean it, Marcus
00:48:29Thank you
00:48:33I want good things for you
00:48:38You're not scared I tricked you out of the country
00:48:40So I could sell you?
00:48:41I'm not
00:48:45I'd never even left the country
00:48:47But with Marcus there
00:48:48I wasn't scared at all
00:48:53I hoped that one day
00:48:54I could stand on my own too
00:48:58When Dante got home
00:49:00Everything Ellie owned was gone
00:49:04She left clean
00:49:07Took only what was hers
00:49:09And their photos off the shelf
00:49:15He had no right to feel hurt
00:49:18It had been a lie from the start
00:49:22To him
00:49:23Ellie was still weak
00:49:26Even after she learned the truth
00:49:27She never even demanded an explanation
00:49:39For the first time
00:49:40The light felt harsh
00:49:42He threw an arm over his eyes
00:49:45He kept wondering
00:49:46When did Ellie find out?
00:49:49Why was she at the club?
00:49:51On the empty streets before dawn
00:49:54He pushed the car to 120 miles an hour
00:50:06He went to the club
00:50:07And had them pull the security footage
00:50:11Then it led back to Lily
00:50:13He knew this Lily
00:50:14A junior floor manager
00:50:16Sharp chin
00:50:17Shrewd face
00:50:21Word was
00:50:22She'd been burned by that fake poor game too
00:50:27You'd better tell me everything about Ellie
00:50:31Lily took a drag and played innocent
00:50:33Ellie?
00:50:35Yeah, I brought her in
00:50:36But we weren't close
00:50:37She said she was broke
00:50:40We're from the same town
00:50:41So I got her a job as a server
00:50:43Honestly, she's pretty
00:50:45She could have made a lot more drinking with clients
00:50:47But she wouldn't do it
00:50:51Then a couple days ago
00:50:53She called me out of nowhere
00:50:54Said something happened back home
00:50:56And she needed money fast
00:51:02As for how she got together with Marcus
00:51:04I wouldn't know
00:51:06Ellie's got that innocent look and pretty eyes
00:51:09Was it really so strange that someone took a liking to her?
00:51:15Mr. Russo
00:51:16Don't make this my problem
00:51:18I really didn't know you two had a thing
00:51:23With your name
00:51:24Your status
00:51:26You expect me to believe she was your girlfriend?
00:51:30Even hearing it from you
00:51:32I'd hardly dare believe it
00:51:39So he went out there himself
00:51:41To Ellie's hometown
00:51:49He spent a week searching her hometown
00:51:52Nothing
00:51:55He was with Ellie for three years
00:51:59Every Christmas
00:52:00She'd ask him to go back home with her
00:52:02And meet Grandpa
00:52:05He knew she wanted to marry him
00:52:08And she wanted to keep the baby
00:52:12Maybe in some of those moments
00:52:14Dante felt something real too
00:52:18A lot of times
00:52:19He thought about coming clean
00:52:22Ellie wouldn't have cared
00:52:23That he'd hidden the truth
00:52:26It was just that with her
00:52:27Even the hard days tasted sweet
00:52:31He knew it instinctively
00:52:33The second he went back to who he really was
00:52:37There'd be no going back for them
00:52:40So he stalled
00:52:42He won the bet
00:52:43But with every delay
00:52:45He grew more uneasy
00:52:48Like a landmine buried under his feet
00:52:51Now the mine had finally gone off
00:52:55Just not in any way he imagined
00:52:58He knew Marcus was behind it
00:53:01But Marcus was across the ocean
00:53:03Even Dante couldn't reach that far
00:53:06In the end
00:53:07He got on the flight home
00:53:08Beaten down
00:53:15What he'd never know was this
00:53:18One minute before he walked into the lounge
00:53:22Ellie and Marcus had just boarded
00:53:29The world is small
00:53:33Some people always find each other
00:53:37And the world is big
00:53:42Miss someone once
00:53:43And you may never see them again
00:53:45The second year after Ellie left
00:53:49Dante got married
00:53:52It was a marriage alliance between two families
00:54:00It wasn't love
00:54:04He felt like something in him had changed
00:54:10Or rather
00:54:11Something in him had died
00:54:14Sometimes he dreamed about Ellie
00:54:16Sometimes in the dream he told her everything
00:54:19They got married
00:54:20Had a child
00:54:22Sometimes Ellie slapped him
00:54:24Cursed him for lying
00:54:25And walked away for good
00:54:28But Ellie chose neither
00:54:30She just watched him play at love
00:54:32Then quietly walked away
00:54:42That's when the obsession took hold of Dante
00:54:46He needed to know
00:54:48Did Ellie hate him?
00:54:50Or did she still love him?
00:54:52Even a little
00:54:52Any chance he got
00:54:54He flew to London
00:54:55And asked around about Ellie
00:54:57Sometimes he ran into Marcus
00:54:59At the year-end cocktail parties
00:55:03Where's Ellie?
00:55:05Who?
00:55:06Ellie?
00:55:07Never heard of her
00:55:09Stop playing games with me
00:55:11Wasn't she your girlfriend?
00:55:13If you don't know where she is
00:55:14Why would I?
00:55:18Whether he asked around
00:55:19Or confronted him to his face
00:55:21Marcus never gave him a word
00:55:24That same year
00:55:25Dante was in a car crash
00:55:29On the street
00:55:30He caught sight of someone from behind
00:55:32Who looked just like Ellie
00:55:35He chased her
00:55:36Calling her name
00:55:43Then he ran into traffic
00:55:45And got hit
00:55:46He survived
00:55:47But the leg was ruined
00:55:54He walked with a cane from then on
00:55:56In the fourth year of that marriage
00:55:58He got divorced
00:56:01His moods kept getting worse
00:56:03She'd married for the alliance
00:56:05Not to put up with his temper
00:56:09The divorce broke the alliance
00:56:10Between the two families
00:56:15Their business was a mess
00:56:16For a long time after that
00:56:19In the chaos
00:56:20Marcus' company snatched away
00:56:22Several major deals
00:56:24Sometimes Dante wanted to lay it all out
00:56:26For Marcus
00:56:32What'll it take for you to tell me where Ellie is?
00:56:35Ten years after Ellie left
00:56:37Dante finally saw her again
00:56:40A hotel by the sea
00:56:42He'd come to close a business deal
00:56:47Ellie stepped out of the elevator in sunglasses
00:56:50Holding a little girl's hand
00:56:52The little girl scuffed beside her
00:56:54Chattering up at her the whole way
00:56:56Her smile was the same soft one he remembered
00:56:59Time hadn't touched her at all
00:57:02Ellie
00:57:03In that moment
00:57:04Nothing else mattered to him
00:57:06He forgot all about the cane
00:57:09And limped after her anyway
00:57:11Reckless and desperate
00:57:13Ellie looked over
00:57:14Surprised
00:57:15Their eyes met
00:57:17And Dante's voice was already breaking
00:57:22Ellie
00:57:24Truth was
00:57:25Even he didn't know where this obsession came from
00:57:30Mommy, who is that man?
00:57:33Maybe she left too suddenly
00:57:35And he never got over it
00:57:38Dante thought of the child he and Ellie had lost
00:57:42If that baby had been born
00:57:44If Ellie hadn't left
00:57:48A thousand thoughts hit him at once
00:57:55But Ellie only looked at him calmly
00:57:57And gave a small nod
00:58:00It's been a long time, Dante
00:58:04It was as if they'd never loved each other at all
00:58:08Maybe they never really had
00:58:11What kind of love starts with a lie
00:58:13And still gets called love?
00:58:25You're married?
00:58:26Your daughter
00:58:27How old is she?
00:58:29Does he treat you well?
00:58:32I am
00:58:33He treats me very well
00:58:34She's six
00:58:36Mommy, I want to go play in the water
00:58:39Daddy said he'd build me a sandcastle
00:58:41Maybe it's already done
00:58:45We'll be going then
00:58:46Goodbye
00:58:46Wait
00:58:49Ellie just stepped back and frowned
00:58:52She was still gentle
00:58:54Just not weak anymore
00:58:57Mr. Russo
00:58:58Keep your hands to yourself
00:59:05I've been looking for you for years
00:59:07Marcus kept you from me
00:59:08I owe you an explanation
00:59:10I need to tell you what happened
00:59:11You don't need to explain anything
00:59:12It doesn't matter
00:59:15All those years we had together
00:59:18None of it matters to you
00:59:21No
00:59:21It doesn't
00:59:26So don't look for me again
00:59:29Marcus didn't hide me
00:59:30I just didn't want to see you
00:59:33Do you hate me?
00:59:36Ellie just smiled
00:59:38She picked up her daughter
00:59:39And walked away without looking back
00:59:41Dante started after her
00:59:43Then stopped when he saw Marcus
00:59:45Marcus saw him too
00:59:46He only gave him a cold look
00:59:49Then he turned to Ellie and their daughter
00:59:51And his face softened
00:59:53He lifted his daughter with one arm
00:59:55And took Ellie's hand with the other
00:59:59A happy family of three
01:00:01And Dante looked like a pediful stray dog
01:00:04Dante knew this was the end of them
01:00:07But this wasn't how it was supposed to end
01:00:11He thought the man beside Ellie
01:00:13Holding their daughter
01:00:14And her hand
01:00:15Should have been him
01:00:18The more he thought about it
01:00:20The more wrong it felt
01:00:23He thought he had to be dreaming
01:00:24A nightmare
01:00:25He had to find a way to wake up
01:00:29He'd always had trouble sleeping
01:00:31But that night
01:00:32He slept hard
01:00:34In the dream
01:00:35He was back in the real world
01:00:38Ellie lay in his arms
01:00:40Looking at him like she still loved him
01:00:44Today was their 10th anniversary
01:00:50Later
01:00:50Dante lost his mind
01:00:54He told anyone who'd listen
01:00:56He was married
01:00:56That he had a daughter
01:00:59He said his wife's name was Ellie
01:01:01His daughter was 10
01:01:03And they were a happy family
01:01:09The day they took him to a psychiatric hospital
01:01:12He saw a food delivery rider on a motorcycle by the road
01:01:17He screamed that the delivery rider had stolen his life
01:01:22He lunged
01:01:28The motorcycle couldn't swervel in time
01:01:30And sent him flying into the roadside grass
01:01:36The back of his head hit a rock
01:01:38Blood poured out
01:01:40Dante stared up at the blue sky
01:01:42A dazed smile on his face
01:01:48He still had the delivery rider's helmet clenched in his hand
01:01:57Ellie, I'm home
01:01:58I got you fried rice
01:01:59Extra egg
01:02:01The back of his head hit a rock
01:02:01The back of his head hit a rock
01:02:01The back of his head hit a rock
01:02:02The back of his head hit a rock
01:02:02The back of his head hit a rock
01:02:02The back of his head hit a rock
01:02:02The back of his head hit a rock
