AmusantTranscription
00:00À notre réunion de classe, mon ex s'est montré wildly successful, avec son beau girlfriend sur son arm.
00:07Elle dit,
00:08« Si vous n'avez pas été découvert avec lui en l'époque, vous seriez le donna de la famille
00:15de Falcone par maintenant ? »
00:17Il s'est accroché, avec son expression cool et distant.
00:19C'était un long temps avant.
00:21Tout le monde a commencé à l'écouter.
00:24Avec lui, j'ai regardé la main sur la main de la main de la tête et j'ai réussi
00:29à smileir.
00:32C'est vrai.
00:33Nous deux n'avons pas rien à faire avec les autres dans des années.
00:41Si je me souviens, c'est pas Erin qui s'est endé les choses ?
00:45Oh, elle est absolument.
00:47Elle a été découvert, elle a été découvert, elle a été découvert la fois qu'elle a été découvert.
00:52C'est qu'elle a fait qu'elle a fait qu'elle a fait qu'elle a fait qu'elle
00:54a fait qu'elle a fait.
00:55Parfait.
00:56Quand son sère, Nicole, était en la rue, nos parents ont commencé à grousser.
01:00Je suis Erin et Franck était assise à moi.
01:03Il était souri, mais ses yeux étaient d'ice-cold.
01:06C'était la première fois que nous avons vu ensemble depuis 6 ans.
01:14Non de ce n'était pas à se passer.
01:16J'ai only venu parce que Michael, notre classe rep, me dit que Frank n'est pas là.
01:20Je n'ai jamais pensé à lui.
01:22Frank est maintenant un succès, le plus grand jeune Don en New Jersey.
01:28Tout le monde le treatait comme un royaume.
01:30Compared à lui, j'étais un shadow de qui je devais être.
01:35Elle a fait les choses au premier.
01:37Ils ont tous fait leurs propres assumptions.
01:39Que j'étais un digger.
01:41Que je ne pouvais pas la difficulté.
01:43Que j'ai choisi le mauvais homme.
01:45Et j'ai perdu tout.
01:48J'ai entendu que le sugar daddy que tu jouais avec,
01:51a été fermé depuis longtemps.
01:55Et tu as pris tout le monde ?
01:58Je ne me dis pas que tu joues à la réunion.
02:01Beggin' pour l'argent.
02:04Il n'a pas dit un mot.
02:06J'ai simplement lancé et resté en silence.
02:09Nicole returned de la séance.
02:11Sensing la tension strange,
02:13elle m'a demandé avec un smilele.
02:14Qu'est-ce qui s'est passé pendant que je n'étais pas ?
02:17Frank dropped l'attitude de l'attitude à une fois,
02:19et j'ai pris sa main.
02:23Qu'est-ce qui ?
02:27J'ai pris sa main avec moi.
02:29Frank's told me about you.
02:31Si tu n'avais pas broken up avec lui,
02:35tu serais la donna de la Falcone family par maintenant.
02:40C'est-ce qui s'est passé ?
02:49C'est-ce qui s'est passé ?
02:56C'est-ce qui s'est passé ?
03:01C'est-ce qui s'est passé ?
03:06Everyone immediately fell silent.
03:09They understood that the Don didn't want the conversation to continue,
03:12so they quickly changed the subject.
03:14Nicole raised her glass to me.
03:16Thank you for letting him go.
03:18You absolutely have to come to our wedding.
03:22I quietly covered the scar on my wrist and said numbly,
03:26Congratulations.
03:27Why didn't you tell him the truth ?
03:29On the phone, my best friend Cheryl was furious on my behalf.
03:33The reunion had ended early.
03:35I stood in the freezing wind, wrapped tightly in my coat.
03:39He has a girlfriend.
03:41He has a girlfriend ?
03:42Yeah.
03:43Everyone started heading out in little groups,
03:46leaving me there by myself.
03:48It's such a shame.
03:50You finally got to see him after everything you've done.
03:54After trying for so long.
03:57Cheryl, nobody waits in the same place forever.
04:01Some things had to be said when they mattered.
04:05If you waited until years later,
04:08saying them only made everyone feel worse.
04:11I shivered in the cold, my eyes burning.
04:14I'm giving up.
04:18I'd spent years clawing my way out of the mud,
04:21hoping I could finally meet him again with some dignity.
04:25But I was too late.
04:27Okay.
04:28We'll talk when you get back.
04:30The temperature had dropped below freezing on that New York winter night,
04:34and getting a... a cab was nearly impossible.
04:39After standing outside for only a few minutes,
04:41my hands had already gone none.
04:44The app showed that I was still waiting for a driver.
04:48Behind me, Nicole's gentle voice drifted through the air.
04:51Frank, the snow is beautiful.
04:57It's cold out. Get in the car.
04:59I'll be there in a minute.
05:00Then hurry.
05:02As she passed me, she gave me a loaded look.
05:06Then she opened the car door,
05:08deliberately revealing the ruby bracelet around her wrist.
05:12It stung my eyes.
05:15That bracelet was a Falcone family heirloom.
05:18Years ago, it had been on my wrist.
05:20When we broke up, I had put it back in its box,
05:23and asked the housekeeper to return it to him.
05:26So Nicole wasn't merely his girlfriend.
05:28She was his fiancée.
05:30Everyone else had left.
05:32Only Frank and I remained.
05:33My cab still hadn't arrived.
05:36Frank stood behind me the entire time without speaking.
05:39We stayed there, in silence.
05:43For a second, I felt like I'd gone back in time.
05:46The night we broke up,
05:48Frank got into a car accident,
05:50rushing to see me.
05:53His friend Luca called.
05:54His tone anything but friendly.
05:56Frank's in the hospital.
05:58Is his life in danger?
06:00So if he isn't dying, you're not coming?
06:02Please take care of him.
06:03Aaron, Frank got picked to go to Sicily
06:06and compete for a chance to take over the family.
06:09He's finally going somewhere.
06:12Why couldn't you just give him a little more time?
06:16Do you really need money that badly?
06:20You could spend the rest of your life
06:22trying to make up for everything he's done for you.
06:24And it still wouldn't be enough.
06:28Did you just forget all of that?
06:32Luca practically broke down over the phone.
06:34He stopped just short of calling me an ungrateful bitch.
06:36Then someone suddenly snatched the phone from him
06:38and smashed it down.
06:41There was no point denying it.
06:44I was the one who abandoned Frank.
06:47It made sense that he hated me.
06:49How much do you owe?
06:51Frank's cold voice dragged me out of the memory.
06:54That's none of your business.
06:57I sucked in a breath of icy air.
07:00My throat, already raw from the alcohol, seized up
07:03and I suddenly started coughing.
07:07Frank stood beside me and watched without emotion.
07:11Then my cab slowly pulled up.
07:14Are you headed to Windsor Estates?
07:18Yes.
07:19I braced my hands on my knees and forced myself upright.
07:23Fighting through the pain as I reached for the door.
07:26Suddenly, someone grabbed my arm.
07:29What are you doing at Windsor Estates?
07:31Windsor Estates was one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in the city.
07:36Security didn't let just anyone through the gates.
07:39I struggled twice, but I couldn't break free.
07:43Looking up at Frank's dark, unrelievable expression, I asked,
07:48What exactly are you trying to say?
07:50His lips tightened.
07:52His face was shadowed, hiding whatever he felt.
07:55I twisted my lips into a smile and said what he was, clearly thinking.
08:01You think my money comes from something dirty too.
08:04Don't you, Mr. Falcone?
08:06Fifty thousand a month.
08:08Is that enough?
08:10What does that mean?
08:12At last, mockery surfished in Frank's eyes.
08:15Aren't you desperate for money?
08:18Fifty thousand?
08:19A hundred thousand?
08:21Is that still not enough to get you into my bed?
08:29Frank!
08:31Go live your life, and keep your hands out of mine.
08:35I threw the words at him, burning with humiliation, then got into the cab and left.
08:42You slapped him?
08:45Yeah, he tried to buy me.
08:49I curled up on the couch, enduring wave after wave of stomach cramps.
08:54Nausea surged through me.
08:56I ran to the bathroom, and threw it all back up.
09:03Your stomach is already wrecked, and yet you still drank?
09:07My throat burned like it was on fire.
09:09It hurt like hell.
09:13You've loved him all these years.
09:15Was it worth it?
09:18I looked up at my wrecked reflection in the mirror, as my ears rang.
09:22Cheryl kept talking.
09:24If you hadn't forced yourself, sounded far away.
09:27Her voice to break up with him, he never would have become who he is today.
09:31I thought about Frank's fiancee, Nicole, compared to my gloomy, battered existence.
09:35She was bright and vibrant, like sunlight.
09:38The truth was, I used to be like that too.
09:41Then life slammed me into the ground.
09:43By the time I crawled out of hell, everything had changed.
09:46After Cheryl finished her shift at Windsor Estates, we returned to our cheap apartment.
09:50Then Frank's friend Luca called me out of nowhere.
09:57Erin, if you're struggling, I can find you a job.
10:00I said nothing.
10:02Frank's getting married next month.
10:05Nicole's a good person, and she comes from a respectable family.
10:08I won't bother him again. We don't have to worry.
10:11We just want Frank to have a good life.
10:14Yeah.
10:15Every friend we'd once shared had chosen Frank's side.
10:19Frank to have a good life.
10:21After the call ended, Cheryl's eyes turned red.
10:24They don't understand anything.
10:26It's fine.
10:27Since I needed to stay in the city a while longer, I found a job not far from the apartment.
10:32During the interview, the HR rep glanced at my file with a skeptical look.
10:36It says here you have a history of depression.
10:39That was in the past.
10:40I'm completely recovered now, and I have medical clearance from my doctor.
10:44Several previous companies had rejected me after their background checks uncovered it.
10:48This company was smaller.
10:51That same night, they called to tell me I'd been hired.
10:55I thought the reunion would be the last time Frank and I ever crossed paths.
11:00Three days later, Frank penachuted into our company as my new boss.
11:07And my desk was moved directly outside his office.
11:12I'm not moving.
11:14That's fine.
11:15Hand your resignation to HR.
11:18I scoffed in total disbelief.
11:21You're firing me because I won't move desks?
11:26I'm merely giving you options.
11:30Or did you actually think I was after something else?
11:34The words died in my throat.
11:36I remembered Cheryl arguing with our landlord the night before over a tiny portion of the rent.
11:42I forced a smile.
11:44Mr. Falcone is far above that sort of thing.
11:46Silly me for worrying.
11:48Frank gave me a dismissive nod.
11:51Glad we're on the same page.
11:54Close the door on your way out.
11:58And turn your chair so your back faces me.
12:02I don't want to see your face.
12:05I don't want to see your face.
12:05For the next several days, we barely interacted.
12:12A week later, the company held a team dinner.
12:15Because I was new, everyone kept pushing drinks on me.
12:20Erin, if you don't drink, we're docking your pay.
12:27With everyone cheering her on, I downed my final glass of the night.
12:34And collapsed onto the table, unconscious.
12:43The next morning, I woke up in a huge bed.
12:46I pushed myself upright, revealing the bathrobe wrapped around my body.
12:50I froze, then got out of bed and walked into the next room.
12:53Frank sat with one leg crossed over the other, reading the morning paper.
12:56He was wearing a hotel bathrobe, too.
12:59You're awake.
13:01Breakfast is on the table.
13:02Eat something, then get some more sleep.
13:04Pure terror ripped through me.
13:06My face went pale.
13:08Did we?
13:11Unfortunately, you were the one who started it last night.
13:14I couldn't remember a single thing.
13:17That's impossible.
13:18Frank placed a contract in front of me.
13:21My signature had been on it.
13:22I would become his mistress.
13:24He would give me $10,000 a month as spending money.
13:28There's no way I'd sign this.
13:30Really?
13:32Are you sure?
13:33I couldn't get a single word out.
13:35He took out a voice recorder.
13:36I accidentally recorded your little confession last night.
13:39Ms. Marati, would you like to hear every filthy thought hiding in that head of yours?
13:43My whole body shook as crushing humiliation swallowed me.
13:47Even when I kept my love for Frank hidden, it made me feel filthy.
13:51Now I'd said it out loud, and he was using it as evidence against me.
13:55As though loving him were a crime.
13:59Frank's eyes darkened.
14:01Wanting another woman's fiancée?
14:04Wow, Erin.
14:06What do you think would happen if I let everyone hear this recording?
14:11Shame burned through me.
14:16Are you doing this to get back at me?
14:18Yes.
14:21You made sure my life was hell back then.
14:24Why should I spare you now?
14:30You have two choices.
14:32Stick to the deal, or I make sure everyone gets to hear this tape.
14:36The clock in the corner ticked steadily.
14:40Each sound merged with my heartbeat, and slammed against my eardrums.
14:45My lips were cracked and dry as I looked up numbly.
14:51Then make it public.
14:54Under his chilling stare, I said without emotion.
14:58Frank, I won't be the other woman.
15:01Frank sneered.
15:04Erin, who do you think you are?
15:08Do you honestly believe you still have a choice?
15:10I found my rumpled clothes in the bathroom.
15:15Frank's clothes, meanwhile, were neatly arranged on the rack by the door.
15:19The divide between us couldn't have been clearer.
15:22The sight made my eyes ache.
15:23I silently changed, and walked out of the hotel.
15:33Cheryl called, her voice strained.
15:37Erin, they want $500,000.
15:40Cheryl had spent every dollar she had on my treatment,
15:44and my own savings were almost in non-existent.
15:48They said if we don't pay, they'll expose what happened to you.
15:52They also won't tell you where they put your mother's belongings.
15:56Or her ashes.
16:00I'll try to get part of my salary in advance, and borrow the rest.
16:04I should have it by next month.
16:07Okay.
16:08After hesitating several times, I finally dialed a number.
16:14It took a long time for someone to answer.
16:16Thank you.
16:19Miss Moretto, what can I do for you?
16:23Dr. West, I'm sorry to bother you. I...
16:27Elliot sounded busy, but he was still patient.
16:30Are you in trouble?
16:32I took a deep breath.
16:34Could you lend me $400,000?
16:36It was the first time I had ever asked someone for money.
16:39The moment the words left my mouth, my entire face felt like it came from his end.
16:44Dr. West, emergency surgery. On my way.
16:47I hadn't expected much in the first place.
16:50I prepared myself for him to simply hang up.
16:52Text me your banking info. You'll have it today.
16:55Then the call ended.
16:57The sky was still gray, but somehow even that cold dial tone felt warm.
17:02That evening, my manager tapped her knuckles on my desk.
17:06We're having dinner with a client tonight. You're coming.
17:13A few hours earlier, I'd asked her to advance me one month's salary.
17:18Between that, the money I'd borrowed, and my old savings, I'd barely scraped together $500,000.
17:25When I walked into the private dining room, I saw Frank.
17:34Mr. Falcone, is she one of your employees?
17:37Yeah, she's new.
17:39What kind of new hire needs Mr. Falcone's personal supervision?
17:42She's certainly easy on the eyes.
17:46Stay sharp tonight.
17:48If someone wants him to drink, you drink for him.
17:52Mr. Falcone, can your new employee hold her liquor or not?
17:55She can, absolutely. Start with a toast.
17:59Frank said nothing, smiling faintly.
18:01I raised the glass and drained it.
18:05The liquor scorched down my throat, setting fire to everything in its path,
18:09before churning violently in my stomach.
18:12Everyone cheered.
18:13Just as they prepared to pour me another round, Frank changed the subject.
18:17Where were we? Back to business.
18:20The dinner remained lively.
18:22Several people tried to toast Frank, but he claimed he had stomach problems and didn't drink.
18:28A drop.
18:31My manager found creative ways to pour every one of those drinks into me instead.
18:37Eventually, I couldn't take it anymore, and escaped to the restroom.
18:41I turned on the faucet, and dry-heaped over the sink.
18:45A complete wreck.
18:49After texting Cheryl, the last of my strength disappeared.
18:53The door opened.
18:55Frank's mocking voice came from behind me.
18:57You done already?
18:59I forced myself upright, and staggered past him toward the door.
19:04Frank grabbed my arm and dragged me back.
19:06Let go of me.
19:07Stomach acid had burned my throat raw.
19:10Every word hurt.
19:12Frank effortlessly hauled me in front of the mirror and forced me to face it.
19:16He sneered at my reflection.
19:18Take a good look at yourself.
19:20The woman in the mirror had wet eyes, flushed cheeks, and messy strands of hair hanging around her face.
19:27You plan to walk out looking like this?
19:33You want every creep in the building staring at you?
19:37You, Ted, is that creep?
19:44Through the reflection, Frank shamelessly looked over my body.
19:48I closed my eyes and trembled.
19:55Who could possibly be a bigger creep than you?
19:58Frank laughed softly, and DEAs kissed beside my ear.
20:02Come home with me tonight. Please?
20:04Go to hell!
20:05He brutally sealed my mouth with his, stealing rearing the air from my lungs.
20:10It was unbearable.
20:13I weakly beat my hands against him.
20:15It felt like I'd been dragged back into those dark years.
20:21Like I was staring helplessly at a bright, glittering world where I didn't belong.
20:30Frank, can you please let me go?
20:33I was falling without a sound, plunging straight into hell.
20:37It must have hurt.
20:39But I couldn't feel anything anymore.
20:45Aaron!
20:46Frank was shouting my name.
20:49He wasn't looking at me, like he wanted me dead anymore.
20:53Aaron!
20:53He was panicking.
20:55Aaron!
20:57The fever hit hard and fast.
20:59My head felt heavy, my limbs were sore, even swallowing hurt.
21:03Somewhere between sleeping and waking, I dreamed about the past.
21:06I was lying across Frank's back.
21:08If I die?
21:11Don't say that.
21:13It's only a fever.
21:15You'll feel better after the shot.
21:23Hey, do you have enough money for food? Shots are expensive.
21:27It's fine.
21:29How is it fine? How many jobs do you even have right now?
21:32Frank didn't answer.
21:38As long as you're safe and healthy, nothing else matters to me.
21:42When mom and dad stop fighting, I'll ask them for money and pay you back.
21:47Trust me, we'll have money someday.
21:50But I didn't stay safe and healthy like he wanted.
21:53The night Frank left for Sicily, I came home and discovered that dad was having an affair.
21:59He stood there with his mistress, shielded in his arms.
22:03That was the moment my happy life began to collapse.
22:10You're gonna make your durst a story, okay? You wouldn't help me so, Jarzy!
22:14Later, dad fled with the family's money.
22:23Just like that, the Moreri family was completely finished.
22:36Then late one night, the loan balls came pounding on our door.
22:43The swaying light overhead.
22:45The men's excited shouts.
22:47Their disgusting hands.
22:48And my mother's heart-wrenching screams and curses.
22:50The memories blended into a sickening mess that churned endlessly through my mind.
22:54Everything suddeners have sped up like someone had hit fast forward.
22:57The creditors drove mom to her death in a bathtub.
23:00At Picture 2 found me afterward and took me far away to South Carolina.
23:03On a rainy day, I curled up in the corner of a hospital.
23:06She has hereditary major depressive disorder. Does she have any family?
23:09She has a boyfriend. He's in Sicily.
23:13Call him and tell him to come.
23:15She's high risk for suicide and treatment will be extremely tough.
23:18For the next few years, she can't be left alone for even a second.
23:20She needs 24-7 supervision.
23:21My own mind was too shattered to even think about reporting it, saving evidence, or going you and I were
23:26left like two abandoned strays.
23:27We fled the city where we had lived all our lives.
23:31That same day, At Picture 3 earned his place to train as the next Don of the family in Sicily.
23:40He called me, his voice impossibly gentle.
23:43Aaron, I did it. Three years from now we'll get married.
23:47But I could no longer find my way home.
23:51Frank, I...
23:52Don't think I can stay with you.
23:57Why?
23:57I wanted to tell him the truth.
24:01He had a brilliant future ahead of him.
24:04Could I really be selfish enough to trap him for the rest of his life in rainy, miserable South Carolina?
24:12I saw what it looked like when love vanished from someone's eyes.
24:17I wiped away my tears and smiled.
24:20Frank, take good care of yourself.
24:22We're done.
24:25The steady beeping of medical equipment filled my ears.
24:28I blinked, and the nightmare quietly faded.
24:32I pushed myself upright.
24:34He was sitting on the couch, silently reading a newspaper.
24:40She's malnurted. Make sure she gets more protein in her regular diet.
24:44Thank you.
24:48Don't think about anything else.
24:50Focus on getting better.
24:53I ignored him.
24:54Climbed out of bed.
24:57And opened the cabinet to look for my phone.
25:02It was gone.
25:03So were my outdoor clothes.
25:05He calmly watched me tear through the room.
25:11Powerlessness washed over me.
25:14Frank, what are you trying to do?
25:16You know exactly what I want.
25:17I want you.
25:19Frank, you can't treat me like this.
25:22Why not?
25:24I'm in love with someone else.
25:26Please stop harassing me.
25:28Really?
25:38Aaron, you're lying.
25:40The private treatment center sat on the outskirts of the city.
25:44Outside the window, the forest seemed endless.
25:47I couldn't leave.
25:48I couldn't contact anyone.
25:50I tried asking the doctors and nurses for help, but they said there was nothing they could do.
25:55I couldn't came every day.
25:57Usually, he arrived in the evening, still carrying the exhaustion of the day, and talked to me for a while.
26:01I strongly resisted any physical contact from him, didn't force it.
26:06Lately, I kept dreaming about the past.
26:09Back then, Frank's name was constantly on my lips.
26:14Frank, someday you're going to be the most powerful Dawn alive.
26:20What flavor milkshake do you want today?
26:23Banana.
26:25To buy me that banana milkshake, Frank, the top student in our class, skipped school for the first time and
26:31got caught by a teacher.
26:33Then we went to college.
26:34Rumors spread that he was dating the cheerleading captain.
26:39I rode the bus for more than a dozen stops, sat outside his dorm, and cried.
26:48In the middle of the night, Frank threw on some clothes and rushed downstairs.
26:59Don't cry.
27:01If you want me, I'm yours.
27:04And from now on, you'll be the only one.
27:08That's not how you confess your feelings.
27:16I love you.
27:18Back then, neither of us could have imagined that more than a decade later, we would end up like this.
27:24I'm getting married tomorrow.
27:26Frank's voice pulled me out of my distant memories.
27:30Is there anything you want to say to me?
27:33Holding my half-finished milkshake, I stared absolutely at his face.
27:39Suddenly, I understood why I'd been dreaming about the past so often.
27:43I was saying goodbye to the Aaron and Frank we used to be.
27:47The news played stories about Frank and Nicole every day.
27:50A match made in heaven.
27:52The perfect couple.
27:53That was the future Frank and I had once imagined for ourselves.
27:56But Aaron Morella was buried in debt and covered in scars.
28:01What right did I have to want that future now?
28:08Congratulations.
28:09I hope you have a happy marriage.
28:22It doesn't matter.
28:25The wedding is just for show.
28:27If you want children, I'm fine with that.
28:28I suddenly felt exhausted.
28:31Frank, can we please let this end?
28:33Let's at least walk away with some dignity.
28:36Just let it end?
28:39Why?
28:40You started this.
28:42Then the second you got bored,
28:44you threw me aside.
28:46What was I to you?
28:47A dog on a leash?
28:50Then I'll pay you back.
28:52What did you say?
28:55If you can't stand to see me happy, I can die.
29:02I found myself staring directly into Frank's furious eyes.
29:06Aaron, are you sick in the head?
29:08If you wanted to die so badly, why didn't you do it back then?
29:12I couldn't remember when he left.
29:17That night, Frank's friend Luca, who had also been my friend years ago, burst through the door.
29:22Aaron, what did you promise me?
29:25Do you have any idea how much Frank will lose if he breaks off this engagement?
29:28You're an adult now. Can you stop acting like you did back then?
29:31Doing whatever you want and expecting Frank to clean up the wreckage?
29:33Can you think about him for once?
29:35What happened?
29:39What happened?
29:39Frank is calling off the wedding because of you.
29:45And you're asking me what happened?
29:47My ears wrung.
29:50I sat there blankly, my mind completely empty.
29:54Publicly, if he publicly called off the wedding, what did that make me?
29:59A homewrecker?
30:00The secret mistress?
30:02Who ruined everything?
30:10You're coming with me.
30:12You were great at lying back then, weren't you?
30:16You got bored.
30:17You found someone new.
30:19You had a million excuses.
30:21Pick one and use it!
30:23Luca...
30:23Aaron!
30:25If you hadn't come back, would any of this be happening?
30:28His roar echoed in my ears and froze every one of my senses.
30:31A loud buzzing filled my head.
30:34I couldn't hear anything else.
30:35He looked at me with a hatred I'd never seen before, as though someone like I deserved to die.
30:41Luca, he's the one who won't leave me alone.
30:43Once this is over, I'll send you away.
30:45The Falcone building blazed with light in the middle of the night.
30:49Luca dragged me inside, but the press conference had already begun.
30:53Frank sat calmly beneath the spotlights.
30:55We've heard you cancelled the wedding because another woman came between you.
30:59Is that true?
31:01Frank answered the rappooter's question simply and directly.
31:04Mrs. DiMaggio and I had irreconcilable differences.
31:07We ended the relationship amicably.
31:11But sources say you've rekindled things with your old flame.
31:14Is that true, Mr. Falcone?
31:17Frank answered like a gentleman.
31:18Those are just rumors.
31:24That's all for today's press conference.
31:28Look! She's here!
31:34I stood exposed beneath the spotlights, disheveled and stunned.
31:41Within seconds, I was surrounded.
31:44Questions came from every direction.
31:46What is your relationship with Mr. Falcone?
31:47Did you really wreck their engagement?
31:57No.
31:59I didn't.
32:04There's a new leak!
32:11Frank.
32:13I love you.
32:15It was the recording.
32:20Panic exploded inside me.
32:22I used to believe my life couldn't possibly get any worse.
32:24So she really is the other woman.
32:25But when the storm finally completely.
32:27Zero shame.
32:28Their loud comments hit me like a slap to the face.
32:30But when the storm finally hit, that always turned me and destroyed me complacent.
32:36That recording turned me into the villain in an instant.
32:38Luca!
32:38Get her out of here!
32:40All the color drained from my face.
32:45My vision blurred into white static.
32:48I only heard someone reading the words aloud, one by one.
32:52Father left behind massive debts.
32:53Mother committed suicide.
32:55She herself suffers from severe hereditary major depressive disorder and spent five years confined at the South Carolina State Mental
33:00Health.
33:00So she's literally insane?
33:03Why let a psycho out if she's only going to ruin other people's lives?
33:06She's seriously sick.
33:07Why didn't she just die?
33:09Shock.
33:10Disbelief.
33:11Horror.
33:12I sat helplessly in the middle of the roaring crowd, ice cold from head to toe.
33:18Aaron.
33:19I knew what came next.
33:21I simply waited in silence for the fatal blow, the one that would destroy whatever was left of my life.
33:26She was also sexually assaulted.
33:27That was the final sentence of the anonymous leak.
33:30The second Frank heard it, all the blood drained from his face.
33:33After returning from the office that day, Frank didn't say a single word.
33:37Hundreds of missed calls flooded his phone, but he didn't answer a single one.
33:40It was as if time had frozen around him.
33:42Frank sat alone in the pitch dark, completely hallowed out, haunted by the icy voice of the man who had
33:47taken me away.
33:47Every one of us fought to keep her alive.
33:49I suppose Mr. Falcone truly deserves to be called a Don.
33:52You destroyed years of our work without even breaking a sweat.
33:55Frank, did you know she relapses if she doesn't take her medication?
33:57Locking her up is no different from killing her!
34:00Depression. Psychiatric ward.
34:02Those words pierced straight through Frank's heart like a thousand daggers.
34:11Frank, are you feeling any better?
34:14Why?
34:14Frank's voice was hurstest. The dull agony in his chest was unbearable.
34:19I'm sorry. At the time, I didn't think there was any reason to investigate it, so the file was fake,
34:23wasn't it?
34:24Luca, when you told me Erin was in Florida, cycling through boyfriends, she was locked inside the South Carolina State
34:30Mental Health Center.
34:31I'm sorry. I didn't know.
34:33The explanation was painfully hollow. Frank knew he couldn't put all the blame on Luca.
34:38If he had asked even one more question, perhaps none of this would have happened.
34:42He no longer had the energy to listen to Luca defend himself.
34:51I'm sorry, Mr. Falcone. I couldn't stop her.
34:55Leave us.
35:00Cheryl remained standing, as though she couldn't bear to be associated with him in any way.
35:05Mr. Falcone, there are things you need to hear.
35:08Last year, on Erin's birthday, I jokingly asked who she loved most in the world.
35:13She said her mother came first, and you came second.
35:17Her condition had only just stabilized.
35:19She only needed one tiny pill a day to function like anyone else.
35:22So this year, I brought her back to collect her mother's belongings.
35:25She always said the way she broke up with you was again with some dignity.
35:28Honestly, she would have been happy just seeing her dawn from a distance,
35:30because she believed she wasn't good enough for you anymore.
35:33Frank, wasn't she good enough for you?
35:34Do you know how you earned your place in Sicily?
35:38He could already sense the truth that was about to destroy him.
35:42The candidate had already been chosen behind closed doors.
35:47Erin sent an anonymous letter, demanding a fair shot for everyone.
35:53That's the only reason you were allowed to go.
35:55But doing that put a huge target on her back.
35:59So when her dad stole the money and skipped town,
36:02those people turned her and her mother's lives into a living hell.
36:07Frank could barely breathe from the agony she was attacked.
36:13Was that why?
36:14Was that why?
36:16Back then you were in Sicily, and I think you went about a week without calling home.
36:20So you probably didn't know the Morelli family had collapsed.
36:24Her father ran off with his mistress,
36:26and debt collectors showed up at the house every day threatening Erin and her mother.
36:30Her mother killed herself.
36:32Erin was left behind, and those men hurt her.
36:34That was when her illness took over.
36:36At her worst, I couldn't take my eyes off her for even one second.
36:41They tortured her until she barely looked human.
36:44When you got into that car accident,
36:46Erin cried and begged me to let her die.
36:49How was she supposed to go to you?
36:51Every memory from the past few months tore into him.
36:55He had allowed the manager to get me drunk and deliver me to his hotel room.
37:00He had manipulated me into confessing while intoxicated.
37:04Then, like a complete psychopath, he forged a fake contract with no legal validity,
37:09just so he could watch me struggle and suffer.
37:12Again and again he humiliated me, toyed with me.
37:16Finally, in his obsession, he locked me inside a private treatment center.
37:21Cheryl had tried to see him countless times.
37:23He had refused every meeting.
37:28Erin, are you sick in the head?
37:30If you wanted to die so badly, why didn't you do it back then?
37:34My eyes had grown emptier every day.
37:36Sometimes I just simply stared at him without moving.
37:38He had mistaken that look for love.
37:40Now he understood.
37:41I had been silently asking how he could be cruel enough to do this to me.
37:47Why didn't she tell me?
37:49How was she supposed to explain?
37:52She was sick.
37:53Staying alive was already almost impossible.
37:57The only thing she could do was make sure the people she cared about
38:00weren't dragged down with her.
38:03Your future mattered more to her than anything.
38:05Cicely was your one chance to change your life,
38:08and she nearly destroyed herself to get you that chance.
38:11All she wanted was for you to be okay.
38:15Frank, did she deserve to die?
38:18Did I deserve to die?
38:20The question struck Frank's chest like a sledgehammer.
38:24He was the one who wouldn't let me go.
38:26Tormented me.
38:27He made a spectacle out of my agony.
38:30He knew I was a woman of dignity.
38:32Yet he used that damned contract to degrade me.
38:37If anyone deserved to die, it was him.
38:41We tried every single thing to make Aaron want to live.
38:45In the end, there was only one thing that ever worked.
38:48Frank froze, consumed by a sudden, sickening terror of hearing the rest.
38:53Cheryl smiled bitterly.
38:54Your name.
38:56Through all of it, she always remembered her dawn.
39:00When I left, I joked with Cheryl that I would never come back to this place.
39:05Apparently, tempting fate is never a good idea.
39:08I got sick again.
39:10Winters were usually the only dry season in South Carolina.
39:12Most years brought freezing rain.
39:15This year, it snowed.
39:17It's a cold winter this year.
39:19Honestly, Earth's climate is getting less and less compatible with human life.
39:24New Year's was approaching.
39:25The trees outside were completely bare, without a single leaf left.
39:29I pressed my face against the window and breathed onto the glass, coating it with fog.
39:34There's someone downstairs.
39:37He stands there every day.
39:40Isn't he cold?
39:41Oh, really?
39:42I guess he isn't.
39:43She had been in a terrible mood lately.
39:46So had Dr. Elliot West.
39:48I spent every day walking on eggshells, terrified I might set one of them off.
39:53Cheryl paused.
39:55Realizing she might have frightened me, she softened her voice.
39:59Drink the milk.
40:00Take your medication in an hour.
40:02Dr. West said he'd take you outside to build a snowman tonight.
40:06I looked at the man downstairs again.
40:09He seemed familiar.
40:11Cheryl pulled the curtains closed.
40:13Stop looking out there, it's bad for your eyes.
40:16Yeah.
40:17I returned to bed.
40:18After taking my medification, I leaned against the pillows and played a game on my phone.
40:22Outside I heard Cheryl talking the door to Dr. West.
40:24I quickly hid my phone and sat perfectly straight.
40:26I took my medication.
40:27The smell of antiseptic immediately filled the room.
40:30Elliot smiled gently.
40:31Miss Murato, I'm not going to yell at you for playing games.
40:36How did you know I was gaming?
40:37I play too.
40:38I recognize the background music.
40:41Aren't you going to get dressed?
40:42I promise to take you out to build a snowman.
40:45He was a cardiothoracic surgeon at the same hospital.
40:48I think the first time I saw him was during the fall.
40:51It was one of those rare sunny days.
40:53I was crowding behind the fence, reaching desperately for a sketch that had blown over to his side.
40:59Elliot stepped on the paper, just before the wind took it, then looked down, at me.
41:06Excuse me?
41:08That's mine.
41:09He picked up the paper and glanced at the charcoal drawing, a rough, messy sketch of a dark sky.
41:15Hospital policy says no sharp pencils, but paper is fine.
41:18He walked over and handed it back.
41:22You're pretty good.
41:24Just try drawing something with a little more light.
41:27Next time.
41:29Elliot's lunch breaks were always short.
41:32I reached through the fence, and we spent a few quiet minutes sketching on the paper together.
41:37When it was time for him to leave, I whispered,
41:39Thank you.
41:42I saw him a few more times after that, but he was always rushing around, barely having time to glance
41:48my way.
41:49Then one day, he walked over and pulled a fresh sketch pad out of his coat.
41:54Sorry. I've been completely swamped lately.
41:56After that, he started talking to me more.
41:59You're pretty quiet.
42:00Yeah. I shouldn't talk too much.
42:03Why's that?
42:05I'm sick. I don't really have anything happy to say, and I shouldn't be dumping my dark thoughts on other
42:10people.
42:10Elliot just stared at me in silence.
42:12From that day on, his visits became more frequent.
42:15Some days, he looked absolutely exhausted.
42:17So I tried memorizing a few dumb jokes to make him smile.
42:20Every single time, Elliot just watched me with those gentle eyes.
42:23He asked,
42:23Erin, what's your biggest wish?
42:25I just want everyone to be happy.
42:27Does that include me?
42:29I quickly put on my heavy winter coat.
42:31Elliot took my hand and led me downstairs.
42:34In a facility like this, there was a locked security door every few steps.
42:38He was the only one who could take me outside.
42:41It was snowing. Snowflakes quickly dusted my beanie.
42:45Elliot handed me a small snow struggle.
42:47Don't overexert yourself.
42:48Got it.
42:50For some reason, the cold air put me in a wonderful mood.
42:54Carrying my shovel, I made a circle around the frozen fountain.
42:58When I turned around, I suddenly saw Frank standing nearby.
43:04He simply stood there, staring at me.
43:07Frank?
43:08My voice was quiet and surprised.
43:12Erin, I was wrong.
43:14In the old days, I would have held my chin high and demanded,
43:19What exactly are you sorry for?
43:22Now, I only held my snow shovel, lowered my head and mumbled awkwardly.
43:27It's fine.
43:29I had been through too much.
43:31Life had completely worn down every sharp edge I used to have.
43:35Frank stepped closer, his voice cracking.
43:37How could this be fine?
43:39Erin, please talk to me.
43:42Say anything.
43:43I thought about it for a second, then answered him with complete sincerity.
43:48I just hope we both stay healthy in the new year.
43:51Right then, tears finally burst from Frank's eyes.
43:54His whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
43:57Don't do this to me.
43:58Please.
43:59I reached out and touched his cheek.
44:02It was ice cold.
44:04So, just like I used to do, I cupped his face in both hands and spoke from the bottom of
44:10my heart.
44:11I really wanted to see you again, with my pride intact.
44:15Instead, it all turned into a complete disaster.
44:18I'm sorry. It was my fault.
44:21If I had-
44:22I chose to leave your life.
44:23I can't blame anyone else for that.
44:26I spoke slowly, sadness weighing down each word.
44:29Before the reunion, I asked Michael-
44:31I asked Michael if you would be there.
44:33I only came because he said you wouldn't.
44:36I don't know why he lied to me.
44:38I only wanted to hear how you were doing, and see whether you were happy.
44:42Frank was crying openly now.
44:44I'm sorry.
44:46It was me.
44:47I told him to do it.
44:49I smiled, unable to identify what I felt.
44:53Aaron, I'm sorry.
44:54I wasn't there when you needed me most.
45:00Frank held my hand.
45:02Then he finally saw the scar on my wrist.
45:06You don't have to be sorry.
45:10I didn't want to force you to stay.
45:12I didn't want us to spend years struggling together,
45:15only to throw the past in each other's faces every time we fought,
45:18and keep score over who owed whom.
45:21I patiently brushed the snow from his hair.
45:25Frank, seeing how successful you've become genuinely makes me happy.
45:30But I promised I'd earn it all for you.
45:33Frank squeezed my hand.
45:36None of it means anything if I don't have you.
45:39I blinked.
45:41See? My scarf cost over a hundred bucks.
45:44I have more than enough money on my own now.
45:47The light in Frank's eyes went out.
45:49He asked, trembling.
45:51There's no going back for us, is there?
45:56Frank, you have your life, and I need to live mine.
45:59I'm not going back to New York.
46:01How could cruel words ever be forgotten?
46:03People remember what you do to them.
46:05I had already been turned into a public spectacle.
46:07Going back meant walking through a minefield of my own shame.
46:11That kind of public humiliation hurts a million times worse than mourning a dead relationship.
46:18Frank drew a quiet breath.
46:19He took my hands and warmed them between his own, just like he used to.
46:23I'm sorry about the recording.
46:25I baited you into saying those things.
46:27And that night, I never touched you.
46:31Tears stung the back of my eyes.
46:34Then apologize to me, Frank.
46:38Say the words.
46:41He looked completely tortured, drinking in every inch of my face as if to memorize it forever, knowing this was
46:47his final goodbye.
46:49I'm sorry.
46:52I patted his shoulder softly, but in the end, I didn't give him absolation.
46:56I never told him it was okay.
46:59Frank, I hope you find peace.
47:02Frank, I hope you find peace, and I hope you have a good life.
47:05The snow started falling harder.
47:07I turned on my heel and forced myself forward, putting every bit of strength I had into each step.
47:16The sound behind me slowly faded into the freezing air.
47:20I honestly couldn't tell if it was just the wind howling, or Frank breaking down in tears.
47:25I think the sea was very Cat.
47:25I've been care for your best encounters.
47:26I'm sorry.
