Short filmTranscript
00:00It's Christmas Eve. My husband Damien just kicked our three-year-old daughter out of the car.
00:08Get out of the car!
00:10The current outside temperature is minus five degrees Celsius.
00:14All because his mistress's daughter didn't want to sit with a dirty kid.
00:19When the car pulled over on the highway shoulder, I thought Damien just needed a restroom break.
00:26Aurora is asleep. Don't wake her.
00:30Damien didn't even look back. He just tapped the steering wheel.
00:34Clara, take Aurora and get out of the car.
00:37What? Damien, it's fine. We can just squeeze in.
00:42But her daughter Briar started screaming.
00:45No! I won't sit with that dirty kid! She's coughing!
00:49Did you hear that? Get out.
00:51Mira is on her way. She'll be here in 30 minutes. Just wait here.
00:56I held my three-year-old daughter and watched him drive away.
01:00The taillights faded into the snow until they were gone.
01:05Mommy, where's Daddy?
01:07Aurora whispered.
01:08Her biometric wristband began to pulse with a yellow warning light.
01:13Daddy, went to Grandma's first. Auntie Mira is coming to get us.
01:19I hit the dial for a video call to Tina.
01:27Clara?
01:27Her background was a chaotic blur of noise and pulsing neon. She was at a party.
01:34Mira, Damien told you to pick us up. Where are you?
01:37Just wait. I'll come later.
01:39Mira, it's freezing!
01:42Aurora can't stay out here!
01:43My brother said Celeste and Briar can't be out in the cold. They had to get home.
01:47You're just waiting. It's not like you'll die.
01:50Aurora shivered in my arms.
01:52Mommy, I wanna go home.
01:56Soon, baby. We'll be home very soon.
02:00My heart broke.
02:01After four years of marriage, I never knew Damien could be this cruel.
02:05To dump his wife and child on a highway because another woman's kid called us dirty.
02:12Suddenly, headlights appeared.
02:15I waved like crazy.
02:17A black SUV pulled over.
02:20A black SUV pulled over.
02:25Need a hand?
02:27Please, can you give us a ride to the next service station?
02:30Get in.
02:31I reached for the door, but then a voice stopped me.
02:34Clara?
02:35It was Felix, Damien's father.
02:38What are you doing here? Where's my brother?
02:40I quickly told him everything.
02:43Felix's face turned pale with rage.
02:46Is he insane?
02:48He left you and Aurora here?
02:50So Celeste's daughter matters.
02:52But his own doesn't?
02:54Owen, let them in. We'll squeeze.
02:56But the car was full.
02:58There's no room.
02:59The driver said, looking worried.
03:02You guys go. I'll wait here.
03:04Felix pushed me toward the seat.
03:08Aurora's face is turning purple.
03:10She can't stay in the cold another second.
03:13Felix, it's freezing out there.
03:16What about you?
03:18I'm a grown man. I can handle a little cold.
03:21Take care of the kid first. Just go!
03:25I looked through the back window.
03:27Felix stood there alone in the blizzard.
03:30His figure grew smaller and smaller.
03:33Aurora fell asleep in my arms.
03:35But her face was a terrifying shade of red.
03:40Sir, can you go any faster? My daughter has a fever!
03:43The driver nodded and stepped on the gas.
03:46I tried to call Mira again. No signal.
03:50How much longer to the service station?
03:5320 kilometers. In this weather, at least 30 minutes.
03:58I held Aurora tighter. She was getting hotter by the second.
04:02She opened her eyes weakly.
04:05Suddenly, she started coughing.
04:08Her face turned a deep, sickly purple.
04:11Please! Please go faster!
04:14I'm trying! This is as fast as it goes!
04:17The roads are pure ice!
04:19I unzipped Aurora's coat. Her chest was heaving.
04:24Aurora, look at mommy! Don't close your eyes!
04:28I'll tell you a story about the little rabbit.
04:32I began pounding on the car window like a mad woman.
04:36Help! My daughter is dying! Somebody help us!
04:43But on the highway, there was nothing but wind and snow.
04:49Finally, the car pulled into a service station.
04:57Is there a doctor? My daughter is dying! Help us!
05:01The clerk froze.
05:03There's no doctor here.
05:05Call one! Now!
05:06The signal tower was destroyed by the blizzard.
05:09We can't get a call out.
05:11My legs gave out. I almost collapsed.
05:15The shop owner searched through the back and found some medicine.
05:19Try this.
05:21Aurora lay on my lap.
05:23Her breath was so faint, it felt like it could snap at any second.
05:28I tried to feed her, but she didn't even have the strength to swallow.
05:33The owner couldn't watch anymore.
05:36I'll drive you to the nearest clinic.
05:40But the roads might be blocked.
05:42Go! We have to go now!
05:44The car crawled through the deep snow.
05:47With every bump, Aurora's body grew limp.
05:51Aurora, you said you wanted to see the Northern Lights, remember?
05:54Mommy will take you.
05:57We'll take the fastest train all the way to the Arctic Circle.
06:02Her eyelashes fluttered.
06:04But she never opened her eyes.
06:08Suddenly, my watch vibrated.
06:10Signal!
06:11With trembling hands, I dialed Damien's video call.
06:15It rang for a long time.
06:18Finally, he picked up.
06:20Hello?
06:21The background was quiet.
06:23Damien! Aurora is sick. It's bad. Really bad.
06:28Where are you?
06:29On the way to a clinic.
06:31Please. You have to come.
06:33Didn't Mira pick you up yet?
06:38She didn't come! She never showed up!
06:41Possible. She just posted an update saying she's on her way.
06:44I opened the hologram projection on my watch.
06:48Mira's latest post from 10 minutes ago.
06:50The location tag was at exit 87 on the interstate.
06:55112 kilometers away from us.
06:58She hadn't moved an inch.
07:00She was lying to you.
07:02And she was lying to me!
07:04Mira will be there soon.
07:06Just wait a little longer.
07:08Wait! We can't!
07:10Rora is dying!
07:11Our daughter is dying, Damien!
07:15Clara, it's Christmas Eve.
07:17Don't say such unlucky things.
07:19No one is dying.
07:20Celesta and Briar just arrived.
07:22And my mom is very happy.
07:24Don't ruin the mood.
07:25Just go to the hospital when Mira gets there.
07:27Kids get fevers all the time.
07:29She's not gonna die.
07:30He hung up.
07:32As the projection faded, my blood turned to ice.
07:35The shop owner looked at me through the rear view mirror.
07:38Your husband?
07:39I nodded.
07:42Scumbag.
07:44Hang on tight.
07:45I'm taking a short cut.
07:50We're not letting this baby die.
07:53The car turned onto a mountain road.
07:56Aurora's breathing was almost gone.
07:58I checked her heartbeat.
07:59It was so weak it felt like an illusion.
08:01I pulled a button-sized communicator from my inner pocket.
08:06My father had given it to me.
08:08He said that once I pressed it, his people would arrive within three hours.
08:14Finally, we reached the nearest medical station.
08:18I burst into the emergency room, clutching Aurora.
08:24Acute pneumonia!
08:29Heart rate is dropping! Prepare for recitation!
08:32I was stopped outside the emergency room.
08:35Through the glass, I watched the doctors intubate Aurora and hook her up to the monitors.
08:42She looked like she could vanish at any second.
08:45I collapsed in the corner, shaking.
08:48My watch rang again.
08:50No.
08:52Clara, where are you? My mom is waiting for dinner.
08:55I struggled to find my voice.
08:57The clinic?
08:59Aurora is being resuscitated.
09:02What?
09:03Why are you at a clinic? Where's Mira?
09:05She never came.
09:07Impossible.
09:08She just messaged me saying she picked you up.
09:10He sent me a screenshot.
09:12It was a blurry photo from 20 minutes ago.
09:15In the passenger seat was a woman's back, wearing a jacket just like mine.
09:20She's lying, Damien.
09:22Come to the clinic.
09:23Now!
09:24Are you lying just because you're jealous of Celeste?
09:27Daughter is still being resuscitated?
09:29And you think this is jealous?
09:31What else?
09:32Why would Mira need to lie to me?
09:34Damien, if Aurora dies today, I will never forgive you as long as I live.
09:39Whatever, Clara.
09:40That's your choice.
09:42The call disconnected.
09:45I listened to the dial tone and slowly slid down to the floor.
09:48The ER doors swung open.
09:50We saved her, but she was deprived of oxygen for too long.
09:54There's significant brain damage.
09:55It could affect her cognitive development.
09:58She might even face permanent paralysis.
10:00I leaned against the wall to keep from collapsing.
10:04How is that possible?
10:06She's just a baby!
10:09We did our best.
10:10You need to admit her now.
10:12The follow-up treatments won't be cheap.
10:13I walked to the payment kiosk, moving like a ghost.
10:17I tapped my wrist against the sensor.
10:20Insufficient funds.
10:22Damien only gave me $3,000 a month, claiming it was more than enough for a child.
10:27I called him, my hands trembling.
10:31Aurora needs surgery.
10:33I need $50,000.
10:35$50,000?
10:37Clara, do I look like an ATM to you?
10:40Damien, she is your daughter!
10:42Are you going to transfer the money or not?
10:44No.
10:45If you're so capable, earn it yourself.
10:48After Christmas, we're filing for divorce.
10:50The house is mine.
10:51You didn't put a cent in, so you get nothing.
10:54I stood there, staring at the clerk through the glass.
10:59Can you start the treatment first?
11:01I'll pay you back.
11:03I promise.
11:04I'm sorry.
11:05Facility policy, no deposit, no admission.
11:10I walked out of the clinic and stood in the freezing snow.
11:13My hologram flared to life.
11:16It was Felix.
11:18Clara!
11:19Where are you?
11:20Damien said Mira picked you guys up.
11:22Felix, do me a favor.
11:24If anything happens to me, take care of Aurora.
11:28What are you talking about?
11:29I have no money.
11:31Aurora has no hope.
11:32I can't keep her either.
11:34Just put her in the adoption system.
11:36At least she'll live.
11:37Clara, don't do anything reckless.
11:39Where are you?
11:39I'm coming now.
11:40Don't bother.
11:41I cut the connection and killed the hologram.
11:44I walked back to the ward.
11:46I'm sorry, baby, in the next life.
11:48Don't be mine.
11:50The clinic roof was a blur of wind and snow.
11:54From the edge, the world below looked tiny.
11:57One step, and the pain would finally end.
12:00I closed my eyes and let myself fall forward.
12:04Suddenly, a hand gripped my wrist.
12:07Suddenly, a hand gripped my wrist.
12:09A violent tug pulled me back.
12:11I collapsed onto the ground and looked up.
12:13Several men in black suits stood before me.
12:16Their leader, a man in his 50s, removed his sunglasses.
12:19His eyes were bloodshot.
12:21Clara.
12:21Dad.
12:24I was rushed onto a medical transport pod.
12:27Aurora was carried in right behind me, immediately taken over by a team of flight medics.
12:32Intracranial pressure is spiking.
12:34We need to operate now.
12:36Contact the main hospital.
12:37Open the neurosurgery green channel.
12:39Put the nano repair team on standby.
12:42My father held my hand, his own trembling uncontrollably.
12:45I'm sorry, Clara.
12:47Dad was too late.
12:48I'm so sorry.
12:50Dad, I thought you were just a...
12:53farmer back in the village.
12:55He faltered, a bitter smile touching his lips.
13:00A farmer.
13:01That was a lie.
13:03You were so determined to marry Damien.
13:05I was afraid that if he knew we were wealthy, he'd only marry you for the money.
13:10So...
13:11I played poor for four years.
13:14I thought as long as he treated you well, it didn't matter if we lived simply.
13:18He looked at the unconscious Aurora, tears finally falling.
13:22But I never imagined...
13:23I never imagined they could be this heartless to abuse my granddaughter like this.
13:28Medical transport pod landed on the roof of Whitfield Medical Center.
13:32Aurora was rushed straight into surgery.
13:34The best specialist, the cutting edge equipment, everything was ready.
13:38My father stood outside the operating room and dialed an encrypted channel.
13:43Vance Group.
13:44I want to see their stock hit rock bottom before the market opens tomorrow.
13:48Terminate all partnerships.
13:49Everything.
13:51And the banks.
13:52You know what to do.
13:54He hung up and sat beside me.
13:57Clara, I'm giving you two choices.
13:59First, divorce him.
14:02Take the money and take Aurora abroad.
14:06Never look back.
14:08Second.
14:10Stay.
14:11Watch the Vance family crumble.
14:16Watch Damien crawl to his knees and beg for your mercy.
14:19I thought for a moment.
14:21The second one.
14:23But I have one condition.
14:26Name it.
14:27Prepare two bionic decoys.
14:29One identical to me, and one identical to Aurora.
14:33Make them look like they froze to death on the side of the highway.
14:37Dress them in the clothes we wore today, and put her bioband on the decoy.
14:42You wanna?
14:44I want them to think I'm dead.
14:49Then, I wanna see exactly how they celebrate.
14:52I wanna watch them throw a party while Aurora and I are dead.
14:56My father remained silent for a long time before nodding.
15:00Fine.
15:01The bionic decoys were incredibly lifelike.
15:05One large, one small, lying in the snow on the highway.
15:08When found, they were already frozen solid.
15:11An automated road patrol drone discovered them and flagged the nearest highway patrol.
15:16Based on the ID found on the body, the police contacted Damien.
15:20The call came through while the Vance family was having Christmas dinner.
15:23The table was overflowing with food, filled with laughter.
15:27Celeste sat next to Damien, putting food on his plate.
15:30Priscilla beamed, stroking Briar's hair.
15:32Celeste is so much better.
15:33Even the daughter she raised are well behaved.
15:36Unlike that brat Clara had.
15:38Always crying, never obedient.
15:41An absolute nuisance.
15:43Damien's wrist vibrated.
15:44He glanced at it, frowning.
15:46The police?
15:49Hello?
15:50Is this Mr. Damien Vance?
15:52Is your wife, Clara, currently on the highway with your daughter?
15:55Yes, why?
15:56We found two bodies by the roadside.
15:59Preliminary assessment suggests they froze to death.
16:02The female victim has an ID card identifying her as Clara.
16:06There is also a female child, approximately three years old.
16:09We need you to come and identify them.
16:11What did you say?
16:13Sir, your wife and daughter.
16:15They didn't make it.
16:16The dinner table fell silent.
16:18Priscilla asked,
16:19Who is it?
16:20Calling during the holidays, it's bad luck.
16:23Damien stood up, his face pale.
16:25Claire and Aurora?
16:27Froze to death?
16:28By the time Damien reached the morgue, his legs were like jelly.
16:32The police led him into the cold storage room.
16:35The drawer pulled open, revealing two bodies, one large, one small.
16:39Is it them?
16:40Damien opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
16:43He reached out, wanting to touch my face, his hands shaking violently.
16:47It's impossible.
16:50Mira said she went to pick them up.
16:51The officer pulled up the records on his terminal.
16:55We checked the automated highway patrol logs.
16:58Your sister's car never even entered the highway.
17:00She drove in circles around the city before heading home.
17:04Furthermore, the victim's final outgoing call was to you.
17:09It was at 7pm last night.
17:11She told you the child was sick and begged for help.
17:14You said, you said, if you're so capable, earn it yourself.
17:19I thought, I thought she was lying.
17:23I didn't know she was actually...
17:25And if you had known, would you have gone?
17:28There was a heavy silence.
17:30Damien had no answer.
17:32The morgue door swung open as Priscilla burst in.
17:35She froze for a moment upon seeing the bodies, then collapsed onto the floor, wailing and slapping her thighs.
17:41Oh, my granddaughter!
17:42My poor baby!
17:44How could you leave me like this?
17:46After a few cries, she abruptly stopped and grabbed Damien.
17:49Son, this is actually a good thing!
17:51It's a blessing in disguise!
17:53Now that Clara's dead, you can finally marry Celesta!
17:56Mom, that was my daughter.
17:58So what if she was your daughter?
17:59She's dead now.
18:01This is perfect.
18:02Now we don't have to worry about splitting the assets in a divorce.
18:05Ma'am, these are two human lives we're talking about!
18:07What about them?
18:08This is family business.
18:09It's none of your concern.
18:10Let's go.
18:11Celeste is still waiting for us to finish dinner.
18:13Damien allowed himself to be pulled away for a moment.
18:16Then, he looked back at the cold storage unit.
18:20He shook off his mother's hand and walked back.
18:22He knelt beside the bodies for a long time.
18:24Then, he reached out, gently smoothing the hair and straightening the clothes on the decoy.
18:30Clara, I'm so sorry.
18:33I was wrong.
18:34I really...
18:35I didn't know it would end like this.
18:37Why are you apologizing to her?
18:40It's her own fault for having such a short life!
18:43She deserved it!
18:44Shut up!
18:46Damien stood up and addressed the officer.
18:48I'm taking the bodies back.
18:50I'm going to hold a grand funeral.
18:52Two flickering lamps stood by the Vance Estate entrance.
18:56The viewing room was in the side hall, right next to the room I lived in before.
19:01Celeste and Briar had already moved into the master suite.
19:04The whole house was busy catering to them.
19:06But Damien...
19:07He sat in the viewing room, guarding the caskets.
19:10Two cryo caskets side by side, cold and silent.
19:13Mira showed up once. He kicked her out.
19:15Get out.
19:16Damien, I didn't mean it.
19:19I was just out with friends and lost track of time.
19:23Damien looked at her, his eyes bloodshot with rage.
19:26How was I supposed to know they would actually die?
19:29You lost track of time?
19:31Two lives are gone, and you think losing track of time fixes it?
19:34Then what do you want from me?
19:35You want me to die for her?
19:38Is she even worth it?
19:40She was just a low-class woman.
19:42She's gone, so what?
19:43Damien struck her hard.
19:45Mira froze in shock.
19:46Get out!
19:48If I ever see your face again, you are no longer my sister.
19:52Then Celeste arrived.
19:53Damien, please.
19:54Let it go.
19:56I'm sure she wouldn't want to see you like this from the other side.
19:59Damien looked up at her, cold as ice.
20:01Do you know what they were doing while you were celebrating?
20:03I was at your house, having dinner.
20:09They were in the snow, waiting to die.
20:13Waiting for someone who was never coming to save them.
20:17Celeste turned pale.
20:18That was your sister's fault!
20:19What does that have to do with me?
20:20With me!
20:21Your mother was the one who insisted I come back for Christmas.
20:24I wouldn't have gone through the trouble of traveling for the holidays if it wasn't for her!
20:28And besides, you're the one who kicked them out of the car!
20:30Right. You went through so much trouble.
20:33But they froze to death.
20:34They literally froze to death.
20:36Celeste went silent.
20:38Damien stood up and walked to the cryo casket, gently brushing his hand against the coal glass.
20:43I keep thinking, what if I had just answered that video call?
20:46What if I had gone to pick them up?
20:48What if I hadn't said those things?
20:50Celeste bit her lip and turned to leave.
20:52Damien, don't forget.
20:53I'm the one carrying the family heir now.
20:56That dead woman?
20:57She's useless now.
20:59The heavy doors of the viewing room clicked shut.
21:02Damien collapsed, sliding down against the side of the casket until he hit the floor.
21:06On the surveillance feed, I watched his shoulders shake.
21:09How pathetic.
21:10He didn't care when we were breathing.
21:12Now that we're dead, he acts like he has a heart.
21:15I raised my wrist and sent an encrypted message to my father.
21:18Can we start?
21:18My father's reply popped up instantly.
21:21Anytime.
21:21The Vance Group's empire began to collapse.
21:24First, their biggest client abruptly canceled their contract, jumping ship to sign a 10-year deal with their rival.
21:31Then, the banks pulled their credit lines, snapping the company's financial backbone.
21:35Suppliers swarmed the headquarters demanding payment all at once.
21:39Damien was drowning.
21:41He started sleeping at the office every night.
21:44Priscilla screamed at him through the comms.
21:46You're never home.
21:47What if Celeste gets upset?
21:49The company is dying.
21:51Do you even understand?
21:53So what if it is?
21:54We have plenty of money.
21:56Mom, we're about to be bankrupt.
21:58The house, the cars, the accounts, it's all being liquidated to pay the debt.
22:01Soon you might not even be able to afford a meal.
22:03That's impossible.
22:05Is it?
22:06Damien cut the transmission.
22:07He sat in his office, staring out the window at the skyline.
22:11Everything he had built over the last 10 years, gone overnight.
22:15Suddenly, his wristband vibrated.
22:17An encrypted string of numbers flashed on the display.
22:20No hologram.
22:21No ID.
22:25A man's voice came through the clouds.
22:27Mr. Vance, did you receive my gift?
22:32Who is this?
22:33You don't need to know who I am.
22:35You just need to know that this is only the beginning.
22:38The debt you owe will be paid with the entire Vance Group.
22:43The connection cut to static.
22:45Damien tried to dial back, but a gray notification reach does not exist.
22:50His hand began to shake as he gripped the device.
22:53The Vance Group officially entered bankruptcy liquidation.
22:56The estate, the cars, every single asset was auctioned off.
23:00Priscilla was forced out of the mansion and into a cramped rental unit.
23:05Celeste took Briar and left, clutching the last bit of credits she could scavenge.
23:09I can't suffer with you.
23:10Damien, Briar has her schooling to think about.
23:14Damien moved into the small side wing where the caskets were kept.
23:18He had managed to keep the cryo units.
23:20He spread a blanket on the floor and slept right there beside them.
23:24Mira came to find him once.
23:25You've thrown away the entire family empire for a dead woman.
23:29How can you do this to mom?
23:31Then who is going to make things right for Clara?
23:34Damien looked at her, his voice a ghost of its former self.
23:38Who is going to make it right for Aurora?
23:41Mira never came back.
23:42Damien started looking for work.
23:44But in this city, the reputation of a bankrupt CEO spreads faster than a virus.
23:49No one would hire him.
23:50He ended up at a construction site in the old district.
23:53$200 a day, working until his back felt like it would snap.
23:57At night, he'd return to the viewing room and eat cheap bread from a convenience store.
24:00Then he'd sit by the caskets and talk to himself.
24:02Clara, the foreman yelled at me today.
24:06Said I was weak.
24:08Said I didn't work like a real man.
24:11I remembered how you used to tell me to slow down.
24:14But my health was more important.
24:16I thought you were just nagging, nagging back then.
24:22Now I realize you were the only one who actually cared about me.
24:29He pulled out a crumpled cigarette and lit it.
24:31If Aurora were still here, she'd be starting preschool about now.
24:35Clara, you always said you wanted her to take piano lessons.
24:39I told you it was a waste of money.
24:41I'm such a scumbag.
24:43The cigarette burned down to his fingers, but he didn't even feel it.
24:46In the surveillance room, my father looked at me.
24:49Have you seen enough?
24:50I shook my head.
24:51No.
24:52I've seen enough.
24:53Get everything ready.
24:55I'm going back to the company next week.
24:57You're taking over?
24:58Yes.
25:00The Vance Group has fallen.
25:01My debt is settled.
25:03It's time to start my own life now.
25:05My father nodded.
25:06Fine.
25:07But there's one thing you should know.
25:09What is it?
25:10Damien is looking for you.
25:11It looks like he figured out the android double was a fake.
25:14And Damien had.
25:15While going through my remains, he found something that didn't add up.
25:19Tucked inside the pocket of my old winter coat was a crumpled store receipt.
25:23The date on it was three days after I had supposedly died.
25:26It was for a strawberry shortcake, Aurora's favorite.
25:29Dead people don't buy cake.
25:32Damien stared at the receipt, his hands trembling violently.
25:35I was the one who made sure he found it.
25:37He went straight to that bakery to check the security footage.
25:40On the screen, a woman in a mask was holding a little girl's hand.
25:44Even with her face covered.
25:45That silhouette.
25:46That walk.
25:47It was Clara and Aurora.
25:49Damien sprinted out of the store like a madman.
25:52He went everywhere we used to go.
25:54The parks, the malls, the playgrounds.
25:56Finally, outside a private preschool, he saw Aurora.
26:00She was wearing a pink dress with her hair and pigtails.
26:02A man in a suit was holding her hand, leading her toward a car.
26:07Aurora!
26:08Aurora froze, then immediately hid behind the man in the suit.
26:11Damien tried to grab her, but the man blocked him.
26:13Sir, what are you doing?
26:14That's my daughter!
26:16Where's Clara?
26:17Where's her mother?
26:18I don't know anyone named Clara.
26:20This is my employer's daughter.
26:22Move aside.
26:23Damien didn't believe him.
26:24He reached out to pull Aurora toward him.
26:27Suddenly, Aurora burst into tears.
26:29Batman!
26:30You're a Batman!
26:31You made mommy cry!
26:33Damien went stiff.
26:35Aurora!
26:36I'm your daddy!
26:38No!
26:39You're not!
26:40My daddy is dead!
26:43Mommy said so!
26:45She said he didn't want us and now he's dead!
26:50Damien looked like he'd been struck by lightning.
26:52Just then, a sleek black sedan pulled up to the curb.
26:56The window rolled down slowly.
26:58I sat in the back seat, watching them.
27:00Long time no see, Damien.
27:02Damien turned.
27:03When he saw me, his pupils blown wide with shock.
27:05Clara!
27:06You really...
27:07You're not dead!
27:09I stepped out of the car, walked over to Aurora and swept her into my arms.
27:13No thanks to you, I'm still breathing.
27:15Mommy!
27:16That scary man tried to grab me!
27:19It's okay, baby.
27:19Mommy's here.
27:21You played me.
27:23You lied to me this whole time.
27:25I did.
27:26The android double was a fake.
27:28My death was a setup.
27:30How else was I supposed to make you feel what it's like to lose everything?
27:34How could you be so cruel?
27:36Cruel?
27:37Damien, were you cruel when you kicked your wife and daughter out onto the highway in a blizzard?
27:41Were you cruel when you refused to pay for her medical bills?
27:44Damien opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
27:47You're right.
27:47You're right.
