Short filmTranscript
00:00Today is our third wedding anniversary. I got my husband a little surprise. I couldn't wait to see the look
00:06on his face.
00:07Relax, I'm definitely divorcing her.
00:10She's already been through two divorces. The entire Upper East Side has judged her for it already.
00:15There's no way she'd dare go through a third one.
00:18You really know how to play this. Giving her divorce papers on April Fool's Day?
00:23Even if she loses it afterward, you can just say it was a joke, sweet Tucker a bit, and she'll
00:27forgive you.
00:28What's she actually going to do?
00:30Don't forget the promise we made senior year.
00:33Lila's wedding is next week. For her last bachelorette party, every one of us has to be...
00:38The surprise was on me. Three marriages, three men I'd do anything for, and this is how they repay me?
00:43With a toast and a laugh.
00:45Joey, I need your help. My grandfather trusts you. The Carmichael name means everything to him.
00:49If you marry me, he'll hand me the inheritance. Please.
00:52Joey, they're forcing me into a marriage I don't want. You're the only one who can help.
00:54If they think I'm already married, they'll back off.
00:56Sure. When do we go?
00:57I never imagined that every sacrifice I made for them would one day become the reason they believed they could
01:02manipulate me so easily.
01:03Then I went home, to the man who just told his friends she won't make a scene.
01:08Coming back. I would have picked you up. Have you eaten?
01:10I already did.
01:11Oh right, babe. There's something I need to discuss with you. We need to separate our assets for a while.
01:15So this is what it felt like, to be the easiest person to handle.
01:19The company's been having some issues lately. We need to separate our assets for a while.
01:23The lawyers on Wall Street suggested we only do it on paper without actually separating.
01:28In the short time I'd been gone, he'd already prepared everything.
01:31Once things calm down, we'll remarry. It'll only be for a few months.
01:35I know this is sudden, but Sebastian and Ethan called me earlier today.
01:40They kept implying that when you helped them before, you never hesitated.
01:44But somehow with me, it's different.
01:46They even joked that a woman who's already been divorced twice would never dare go through a third one, said
01:50you wouldn't have the guts.
01:52I've already thought it through.
01:54Tomorrow happens to be April Fool's Day.
01:56We'll go file tomorrow, throw the divorce papers in their faces, scare the hell out of them, and see if
02:00they ever dare underestimate you again.
02:02Besides, it's April Fool's Day. Everything can be brushed off as a joke.
02:05Once the company gets through this rough pitch, we'll officially remarry.
02:08Nobody will say a thing.
02:09There was expectation in his eyes now, and just the right amount of vulnerability.
02:14Babe, you wouldn't really let them look down on me, would you?
02:17I stared into his eyes for a very long time.
02:20Those same eyes, clinking glasses with them an hour ago.
02:24I won't.
02:26Then get some rest. Tomorrow morning, after we sign everything, we'll head over and...
02:30Call them. Tell them they can stop worrying now.
02:33He probably hadn't expected me to agree so easily.
02:36You're seriously the best.
02:38I let him kiss me. Inside, my heart was as still and lifeless as dead water.
02:43He took the agreement to the study to make a call.
02:46She signed.
02:46See? I told you, Joe is the easiest to handle.
02:50The easiest to handle.
02:52Keep Leela steady on your end. I'll come over once I'm done.
02:55I sat in the room for a long time.
02:58A message from Ethan.
02:59Haven't seen you in a while.
03:01Want to get together?
03:02Before, I would have replied, sure.
03:04I would have carefully considered what to wear, what makeup to put on.
03:07I would have thought about how to protect Grace and reputation in front of them to show
03:11them I had married well.
03:12To keep them from being at odds with Grace.
03:14After all, on one side were friends I'd grown up with, and on the other was the husband
03:18I deeply loved. Both were people I treasured. I didn't want them to remain enemies for life.
03:23But now, I couldn't even be bothered to reply. Passing the study, his voice was low, but carried
03:28a casual ease I had never heard before. The ease of someone who no longer needed to act
03:34or pretend. He had never once spoken to me like that. My phone lit up again. This time it was
03:39Sebastian. Heard you're getting divorced again? Grayson is such a scumbag. He doesn't deserve you.
03:44Don't be sad. Your grandfather's 80th birthday banquet is coming up. Ethan and I will go celebrate
03:48with him. Let's all get together. How beautifully he spoke. I suddenly wanted to know, what kind of
03:53person was Lila Pendrelground in, really?
03:59I got it, babe.
04:02I knew you wouldn't be asleep yet.
04:06What are you doing here?
04:12Oh, sister-in-law is here too.
04:15Joey, she's had too much to drink. We were taking her home, but she insisted on stopping by.
04:20Grayson, your wife is still at home. Don't you know to keep your distance? You got her this drunk and
04:25brought her to my house, and you're telling me to keep your distance? I got her drunk.
04:30It's because you post about being single on your moments.
04:33Fine. You're noble. You're proper. I've delivered the person who got drunk over you. Handle it
04:37yourself.
04:40All right, all right. Stop fighting. Lila just stopped by on the way to say hello.
04:44You're all here at just the right time. There's something I'd like you to witness in person.
04:48Two copies. Both signed. Since everyone is here, why not take a clear look?
04:53Joey, we can talk about this privately. There's no need to-
04:55Even sister-in-law has brought it up. Can I ask, when are you moving out?
05:00This house is under my name. You can't keep living here forever, can you?
05:05The house in her name?
05:08In that instant, a flood of images.
05:11This is our home. I'll handle the paperwork. Don't worry about it.
05:16Every piece of furniture in this place was something I'd picked out trip after trip to
05:20the furniture stores. The entire layout was arranged to his taste. I never cared whose
05:24name was on the property deed, but I never imagined that the home meant for our marriage
05:28would bear another woman's name. I'm leaving. Now.
05:32Joey.
05:34Tomorrow, 9 o'clock. City Hall. Marriage Registry.
05:39Man, she's something. Even more cooperative than when I begged her to marry me.
05:43I stood by the elevator, listening to this unfamiliar story. In the mirror, I looked calmer than I
05:48had imagined.
05:53Be good. Find somewhere to stay up in a few days.
05:56Pick me up in a few days? He made it sound like I'd just gone out for groceries and would
06:01be right back. No need, Grayson. No need to come get me.
06:05The next morning at 9, outside the City Hall Marriage Registry. When I arrived, Grayson was
06:10already waiting. He leaned against his car door, and when he saw me get out, he stubbed out his
06:14cigarette and walked over. Where did you go last night?
06:18Grandfather's house. I had already stopped owing him any real answers. He nodded. His gaze
06:22languished on my face for a moment, and he suddenly reached out to touch my hair. I turned my head
06:26away. His hand hung in mid-air for a second, then withdrawed.
06:28Joey, I know you saved my face in front of Sebastian and Ethan. I appreciate it.
06:33As for the house, Lila needed a New York State residency, which requires owning property. I
06:37figured it was just a name on paper. You married down to be with me, so I didn't think you'd
06:40care about such things. That's why I didn't tell you.
06:43I looked into his eyes and said nothing. Wouldn't care? He gave away our marital home
06:46to another woman, and dismissed it with a single line.
06:49It wasn't that he thought I wouldn't care. It was that he simply didn't care whether I
06:53care.
06:53Anyway, you have residency rights to the house. After the divorce, stay somewhere else for a
06:56while. Once I've sorted things out on my end, I'll bring you back.
06:58I nearly laughed out loud. Even now, he still thought I was playing along with his charade.
07:02Let's go. Let's get this done.
07:05He followed quickly. The paperwork went faster than expected. Signatures, thumbprints, photos
07:09submitted. The marriage registry finally pressed the steel seal down. A soft click. The divorce
07:14decree in my hands was just a few thin pages, similar to the marriage certificate, only a different
07:18color.
07:18I need to take a call. Wait here for me. I'll give you a ride back later.
07:24Leela.
07:26I stood still, quietly watching his back. He hung up and walked back quickly, his expression
07:31somewhat urgent.
07:31Something came up. Head back on your own for now. I'll contact you later.
07:34Only after he walked out the front door did I slowly turn and walk toward the marriage
07:38registration window on the other side.
07:40When Grayson walked out of City Hall, the sun was already high in the sky. He looked at the
07:43divorce retreat in his hand, then checked his phone.
07:45April 1st. April Fool's Day. That's right. It was today. A client's call when denied him
07:49in ten minutes soaked in slightly. His phone rang suddenly, glanced back at the City Hall
07:53entrance. Why hadn't Joey come out yet?
07:55He hesitated, then turned to walk back. He wanted to go in and say a couple more words
07:59to her. At least set a date for remarriage so she wouldn't overthink things.
08:03Before he'd taken more than a few steps, he collided with a man coming through the door.
08:07Sorry.
08:08Two documents lay side by side, his divorce decree and the other man's marriage certificate.
08:12A gust of wind flipped the cover of the other man's marriage certificate halfway open.
08:15Revealing a corner of the photo inside.
08:17No problem.
08:17The man picked up his marriage certificate first, his voice.
08:19Congratulations, getting married today.
08:22Congratulations to you too.
08:23Grayson froze, not quite catching the meaning. The man had already tucked the marriage certificate
08:28into his inner pocket, his gaze sweeping briefly across Graydon's face without lingering.
08:32He turned and walked away. Grayson stared after him, a thought growing heavier in his mind.
08:37It was April Fool's Day. Who would choose today to get married? And this man's voice,
08:41his build. He felt like he'd seen him somewhere before.
08:44Wait!
08:46The man stopped and turned slightly, his expression still indifferent.
08:49Have we-
08:50His phone rang at just the wrong moment. He glanced down, it was Ethan. He hesitated for
08:54a second, looked up to say one moment, but the man in the dark gray French coat had already
08:57disappeared around the corner. He didn't answer the call. Just as he was about to turn back
09:01and find Joey. His phone buzzed again. This time it was a location from Sebastian.
09:05Hurry up. We need to reach the island before sunset. His steps halted.
09:10The island. He remembered what Leela had said, making a wish by the sea on their high school
09:14graduation day. She said that before her wedding she wanted everyone to go to that private island
09:18in the Hamptons, and go wild for three days and nights cashing in the last of their youth.
09:22At the time, everyone thought it was the most romantic plaque in the world. Now she was really
09:26getting married, and the time had come to fulfill it. But the island resort didn't accept outside
09:30guests. Entry required an exclusive membership. Among their group, the only one who held that
09:34ticket, was him. So he couldn't be late. If he went back for Joey and got caught up in a
09:39drawn
09:39out conversation, he wouldn't make it. He didn't hesitate any further and walked toward the parking lot.
09:49Grayson, why are you so late? I've been waiting for you for ages. He looks down at her.
09:55She tilts her face up and smiles, her eyes bright, exactly the same as she was in high school.
10:01All right, I'll drink.
10:03Grayson still dotes on Leela like crazy! Some things never change!
10:10Aw, someone's just jealous.
10:12When they arrive at the resort, the sky has already darkened.
10:17Star lights hang all over the terrace.
10:20Speaking of which, Lila, you're getting married next week. None of us have met the groom yet.
10:24You've hidden him really well.
10:26Groom? What groom?
10:29Aren't you getting married next week?
10:33April Fool's Day!
10:37You've been falling for it every year for so long.
10:40All right, all right, you got us good. You had all of us fooled.
10:44Hey, wait! Lila isn't married! Grayson just got divorced! We're all single now!
10:50After all these years, you two still pretending to be just friends?
10:54Everyone knows high school, you two can't live without each other!
10:57You're drunk!
10:59I'm not drunk! I'm dead serious! You're both single? Just get together!
11:05Get together! Get together! He left his wife for you!
11:11Grayson, you're not going to join in and mess with me too, right?
11:14He's not messing around. He means it!
11:20Grayson, are you even listening to me?
11:23Everyone's messing with me. Don't you join in too, okay?
11:26Who are you thinking about, huh?
11:28Nothing. I'm just going to hit the restroom.
11:32She's definitely waiting for my call. The last two fake divorces she texted right away.
11:37She'll do the same this time. She's just waiting for me to go first.
11:44Can you get me a glass of water?
11:47Want me to get that?
11:54Joey?
11:56You picked up?
12:00You picked up?
12:02I just wanted to ask you how you've been lately.
12:05Joey?
12:10Who is that?
12:11Grayson, you're drunk.
12:13I'm not drunk!
12:14Who's there with you?
12:18Grayson, it's late. Get some rest.
12:21Joey?
12:22I have things to do tomorrow.
12:25What things?
12:27What things?
12:46I called her.
12:48She asked nothing.
12:50Not why I called, if I drank, or if I was happy. Nothing at all.
12:55Last two fake divorces, she texted. I took it all for granted. God damn it.
13:04Grayson! Where have you been?
13:08What happened to your hand?
13:10What happened to your hand?
13:10Nothing, just bumped it.
13:11Let me see.
13:12I'm fine.
13:15Every drink burned.
13:20I lost count.
13:22Her voice played on repeat.
13:26Grayson, you need to stop drinking.
13:33Do you know who I am?
13:37Yeah, Lila.
13:39Come on, let's get you to your room.
13:46Don't.
13:47I got it.
13:53Here, drink some water.
13:56Grayson?
13:59You really drank too much tonight.
14:02Wow.
14:03Your heart's racing.
14:05Grayson?
14:08Remember senior year?
14:09I walked you home once when you were wasted too.
14:12You muddled all night about how bad things were at home.
14:15How you'd make it big someday.
14:17You said something else.
14:19What did I say?
14:20You said I wish someone would just stay with me.
14:25I stayed.
14:32Lila.
14:34You don't have to think about anything.
14:42The kiss trailed down his neck.
14:54She smiled.
14:56She'd won.
14:57Their bodies tangled.
15:01Does it hurt?
15:08That was the last straw.
15:21They slept in each other's arms.
15:26Reality hit him hard.
15:32Morning.
15:36Nothing from Joey.
15:42Grayson?
15:43Why are you so late?
15:47About last night.
15:49I'm sorry.
15:52You're saying sorry to me?
15:54I know.
15:55I don't know what to say.
15:57Look at me.
15:58I can barely stand.
16:01Grayson, how long are you going to keep pretending?
16:04Back in high school, her grandpa blackmailed you into dating her with that scholarship.
16:09You're already at the top now.
16:10What are you still scared of?
16:13Her grandpa didn't black rail me.
16:14I pursued her.
16:16I guess I was wrong.
16:17Just go.
16:20What did you two do last night?
16:22Dude, you crossed a line.
16:24You and Joey are still faking the divorce, remember?
16:28I'm talking to you.
16:33Let go.
16:36Did you sleep with her?
16:39Grayson, do you even know what you're doing?
16:41You just got fake divorce from Joey yesterday and you're sleeping with Leela today?
16:44What the hell do you take her for?
16:47I didn't ask you to meddle in my business.
17:00You done?
17:04Why didn't you hit back?
17:07I'll take responsibility for her.
17:10Responsibility?
17:11With what?
17:12You just got divorced yesterday and you're talking about being responsible to someone else today?
17:15How the hell is that fair to Joey?
17:17What the hell do you want me to do?
17:19Enough, stop arguing.
17:20Grayson, calm down.
17:21You can't make rational choices like this.
17:23I'll go wash my face.
17:26He tried to escape for a moment.
17:28People always take what they have for granted until they nearly lose it.
17:32Grayson!
17:34Don't come any closer!
17:39Just step down first, we can talk about this.
17:43There's nothing to say!
17:45Back in high school you wrote me a love letter,
17:47then she showed up and you left me!
17:50Now you're divorced from her and you still don't want me!
17:52Just go!
17:53Go back to that woman!
17:54I'm not leaving!
17:54I'll stay with you!
17:56Really?
17:56I mean it!
18:02This way you can keep your promise and stay with me.
18:08Do you remember my other dream?
18:09She stood at the study door for a long time.
18:13She stood at the study door for a long time.
18:16Long enough for the sound of pages turning inside to stop.
18:20Come in.
18:27Go on.
18:29I got divorced.
18:31Who asked for it?
18:32He did.
18:34April Fool's Day.
18:36He said it was a prank, Sebastian and Ethan planned it together.
18:41You signed it.
18:42You signed it.
18:43I did.
18:44I did.
18:45When?
18:45Last week, at City Hall.
18:50You didn't come here to tell me you got divorced.
18:53No.
18:53Then what do you want?
18:55Sebastian Vaughn.
18:56The zoning permit for his land on Long Island,
18:59who pulled strings for it three years ago, revoke it.
19:01Ethan Ross.
19:02The three key accounts for his logistics firm,
19:05the ones with Carmichael Group backing, terminate them.
19:07All Upper East resources, connections, access, link to the Carmichael name, cut it off.
19:12He did something Joey never saw coming.
19:16I funded those two boys.
19:19I bought Sebastian his inheritance.
19:22I lined up Ethan's clients.
19:27Where is Grayson?
19:30You don't need to touch his company.
19:33Reason?
19:35He's good.
19:36He can stand on his own, with or without the Carmichael name.
19:40Go get some sleep.
19:41I'll have Mr. Carter handle the birthday banquet tomorrow.
19:45Grandpa.
19:45What is it now?
19:46That ring.
19:48Keep it for me.
19:49I don't want it anymore, but I don't want to throw it away either.
19:52The door clicked shut.
19:54The grandpa was alone in the study.
19:58Mr. Carter.
19:59Sir.
19:59I'm making two changes to the guest list for next month's birthday banquet.
20:03Go ahead, sir.
20:04After hanging up, the old man sat still with his eyes closed.
20:09He pushed himself up so fast that his chair shot backward.
20:13It crashed to the floor with a heavy thud.
20:16He lifted his right foot and kicked the side table hard.
20:20One cup shattered against the fireplace.
20:23Shards glinted like water in moonlight.
20:25He stared at the mess, his chest heaved violently twice.
20:30We build them up only to watch them crumble.
20:34And in the end, we are left with the ghosts of what we lost.
20:40He kicked again, straight into the base of the bookshelf.
21:02The world is watching, and they only see the perfect picture.
21:08The plaza's 80th birthday gala.
21:10Only New York's elite.
21:12Excuse me, gentlemen.
21:13You're not on the guest list.
21:16Check again.
21:17We're Joey's childhood friends.
21:19We've spent every holiday at her house.
21:20Sorry, sir.
21:21If you're not on the list, you're not on the list.
21:23No exceptions.
21:23Who's the Vaughn and Ross losers?
21:25Both ex-husbands, right?
21:26Showing up at her grandpa's birthday?
21:28Remarry?
21:29Haven't you heard?
21:29The old man's announcing a big happy surprise tonight.
21:37We've been coming to this gala every single year.
21:39We have more right to be here than anyone else here.
21:46Mr. Carter.
21:48Gentlemen, you are no longer welcome here.
21:50Please leave.
21:57Let's go.
21:59Why?
22:00Joey and I grew up together!
22:03Sebastian.
22:07Let's go.
22:09Some things, once broken, stay broken.
22:15What's wrong?
22:20What's wrong?
22:23The golden dome he knew so well was slipping away.
22:28Three days after the rejection.
22:32What have you done?
22:34What have you done?
22:34The Long Island permit's blocked.
22:36New regulation?
22:37Bullshit!
22:38That land was a wedding gift from Joey's grandpa.
22:41It got him the Vaughn family inheritance.
22:45He had nowhere else to turn.
22:47The number you have dialed is no longer in service.
22:50He put down the phone.
22:53And a memory came flooding back.
22:56Don't be afraid.
22:57I'm here for you.
23:00She was his only way out.
23:03Now he had nothing left.
23:07All three clients bailed on the same day.
23:11It's the Carmichael thing.
23:13Everyone's reevaluating the risk.
23:16He had lost everything he'd built.
23:21He slammed the phone down.
23:26Apologize to the Carmichael's tomorrow, with me.
23:34He put down the phone.
23:3815-year-old Joey under the Osmega tree.
23:42He'd hidden it for over 10-year years.
23:46He thought she'd see him someday.
23:48Lena loved the ocean more than anything.
23:51He used to lie to Joey about business trips.
23:53But this time, he felt nothing but dread.
23:56He wanted to go back to New York.
23:58But Lena got sick and wouldn't let him leave.
24:01Days turned into weeks.
24:02And weeks into a month.
24:04He returned to grab his forgotten phone.
24:08You've kept him stuck for months.
24:10Still didn't win him over?
24:11I don't buy he's that innocent.
24:14Ugh.
24:15Faking sickness.
24:16Kept him trapped here.
24:18But I sent all our photos to JoLynn.
24:24She knows she ought to step aside for good.
24:31What did you send to Joey?
24:35Grayson, why are you back?
24:36I was only messing with my friend.
24:38Just a joke?
24:41Grayson, that's my phone!
24:45I've sent them to her.
24:46She'll lose her cool easily.
24:48Rich Iris can't steal a man from me.
24:52You call this a harmless joke?
25:00When did you take all these photos?
25:04Grayson, just let me explain.
25:05I asked you when!
25:11You were never sick at all.
25:13A fever?
25:15I stayed up beside you every night, waking at every single cough of yours, truly believing you were uneal.
25:21I thought I was taking care of you, but I was nothing but your fool.
25:26Grayson, I didn't mean it.
25:27I just...
25:30Just what?
25:31Trying to trap me here?
25:33Keep me away from her?
25:35Yes.
25:37I'm determined.
25:38I'm determined to keep you by myself.
25:42Did you think I had an easy time these two months?
25:44Do you think I don't know who's on your mind?
25:46You scroll through her photos late at night thinking I'm sound asleep.
25:49What's wrong with faking illness or sending those photos?
25:52You lied to her about business trips just to be with me.
25:54Aren't you playing her too?
25:56Did you think I've had an easy two months?
25:58Do you know who's on your mind?
26:00You scroll her photos late at night thinking I'm sound asleep.
26:03What's wrong with faking sickness?
26:04You lied to her about work trips to be with me.
26:06Aren't you fooling her too?
26:12This one.
26:14Hotel Balcony.
26:15You claimed you were watching the ocean and ignored my three...
26:18Enough!
26:29You swatted my phone.
26:31You did it all for her.
26:33I didn't lay a hand on you.
26:35You hit at me all the same.
26:36Every thought in your head belongs to her.
26:38Don't think I can't feel it.
26:40Do you honestly think I liked faking illness?
26:43Do you think I wanted to trap you this way?
26:45I didn't mean-
26:46You did!
26:47You're always thinking of her while shopping or holding me!
26:52Your arms were always loose when you held me.
26:54Does a woman not feel the difference between a tight or loose embrace?
26:59Always loose, every single time.
27:07Grayson, you're leaving, aren't you?
27:10Are you going back to her after all?
27:12Grayson, don't leave!
27:14You promised you'd stay with me!
27:15I only made that promise under the belief you were really sick.
27:18Pretend I'm still sick.
27:20Still feverish and coughing.
27:22You said you'd wait till I recover.
27:24Feel it!
27:25I still have a fever!
27:26Grayson took in her tear-swowned eyes.
27:29He turned without a word and walked toward the doorway.
27:32Grayson, you're really leaving for good, aren't you?
27:35Step out this door and never come back again.
27:40He left without a glance, hurrying through hallway, elevator and lobby.
27:44He set New York as destination.
27:472847 miles, 41 hour drive.
27:50Driving non-stop towards New York, he kept trying to add her contact back on the way.
27:54He sent a friend request, yet no reply came even after a follow-up message to Joey.
27:58It hit him that she had never reached out to add him back all these months.
28:01The line was shut down, and he gripped the wheel tight, forcing himself to make excuses for her.
28:06Speeding towards New York, he kept trying to send her friend requests on the road.
28:10Convinced she stayed with her grandpa after their split, he rushed over and banged hard on the door.
28:15Joey answered the door, her rounded belly showing five or six months of pregnancy.
28:19The obvious baby bump hit him the second his eyes fell on her midsection.
28:22His gaze locked on her belly.
28:31Joey, I'm here to take you back and remarry you.
28:36Remarry, you'd better ask my husband for permission first.
28:41It's you?
28:42He suddenly remembered the man in the dark gray coat he'd seen at City Hall.
28:46You too, the baby, is it mine?
28:50What do you think?
28:53Finn said nothing, his gaze soft and reverent as he looked at her belly.
28:59Joey, what are you doing?
29:00Don't you remember our deal?
29:01It was only a fake divorce for April Fool's-
29:03I'm sorry.
29:04Her calm reply shut down all his last remaining hopes completely.
29:08I never celebrate meaningless prank holidays like April Fool's Day.
29:12But if you're fond of it, I'll send my best wishes.
29:16Happy April Fool's Day.
29:23Three months after our wedding.
29:26Finn.
29:27Hmm?
29:28I'm jealous.
29:29Jealous of who?
29:32Her.
29:33Our daughter isn't even born yet.
29:36So?
29:36She gets all your attention.
29:38You sleep holding her.
29:39You talk to her all day.
29:41You even kiss me half-heartedly now.
29:43Who would have thought the feared business titan Finn Mortamy was competing with his unborn daughter for attention?
29:51Sir.
29:52There's a visitor outside.
29:54Who?
29:55Grayson.
29:56As if she had heard the name of a stranger.
29:58Finn instinctively tightened his grip on her hand.
30:01I'll handle it.
30:03Grayson stood there.
30:04Compared to a few years ago, he looked much older.
30:07When he saw Finn, he forced a smile.
30:11I mean no harm.
30:12So?
30:13This was Joey's favorite necklace.
30:14I found it while sorting through my things.
30:17Please return it to her.
30:18She doesn't need it anymore.
30:20Of course.
30:20The girl who once treated him as her whole world no longer needed him.
30:24Finn.
30:26Grayson stared.
30:27Suddenly he remembered years ago.
30:29Joey had once looked at him the same way.
30:31With stars in her eyes.
30:33But now, that light belonged to someone else.
30:36It's that necklace.
30:38I used to love it.
30:40Keep it.
30:41What?
30:42Things from the past.
30:44Should stay in the past.
30:46Any regrets?
30:47No.
30:50Good.
30:51What if I hadn't chose you back then?
30:54Then I would have kept waiting.
30:56If seven years wasn't enough, I'd wait ten.
30:58If ten wasn't enough, I'd wait a lifetime.
31:03Snow was falling over New York.
31:05Grayson stood across the street from the Mortem Group headquarters.
31:08He had been waiting for three hours.
31:10Finally.
31:11The familiar black Mayak pulled up in front of the building.
31:15Grayson's body froze.
31:16It was Phoebe.
31:18The little girl whose photos he had secretly looked at countless times.
31:21Daddy.
31:22My teacher praised me today.
31:24Really?
31:24Because I'm the smartest kid in class.
31:26I believe it.
31:27After all, you take after mummy.
31:29He had imagined this countless times.
31:31If Phoebe were his daughter.
31:32If he had never lost Joey.
31:33Would he have moments like this too?
31:35Daddy.
31:35That man over there.
31:36Why is he staring at us?
31:37Hello, mister.
31:38A little.
31:39Not daddy.
31:40Not even someone familiar.
31:41Hello.
31:42What's your name?
31:43Phoebe Mortimer.
31:44I'm five years old and this is my daddy.
31:47Phoebe carried the Mortimer name.
31:49She called Finn daddy.
31:50And all of it had nothing to do with him anymore.
31:54Mommy.
31:55Were you a good girl today?
31:56Yes.
31:57Daddy even bought me ice cream.
31:58You're spoiling her again.
32:00My daughter.
32:01Of course I'm going to spoil her.
32:02He uh.
32:02Mommy.
32:05L Superman.
