Dorothy is never a strong woman to begin with. She isn’t even able to hear the entire explanation from the police. She has already lost consciousness since the police said about the death of her husband.She is now swaying as she begins to fall. But luckily, the other police officer, a female, manages to hold Dorothy before she falls. She then turns her face to her partner by showing an uninspired face.“What?” he asks.“How could you just spew everything like you are talking to a bot? Think about her feelings, damn it!”Later, when Dorothy regains her consciousness, she finds Lucas already there serving those two officers with a serious conversation. And smoothly, Lucas averts the police’s attention to Victor, by bringing up the story about the weird phone call Atkinson received last night.“I’ve already filed a report for the disappearance of my dad. But the police said that I have to wait for 2 days before filing a report for a missing person. Now look at what had happened to my da
From Toronto, they head northwest toward Gary County which will take around 4 hours of journey. On the road, that cab driver keeps inviting both Victor and Vincenzo for trivial talk. But none of them give any response to him.Victor is already looking so wasted. But he still isn’t able to sleep. And Vincenzo only keeps observing that cab driver with his cold face.That cab driver is looking a bit awry now, thinking that he is not going to be able to pull out his mission. Until at some point, he just drives out of the main road which leads to a quiet hilly area.Vincenzo doesn’t know that much about this area. And he doesn’t realize that they are no longer heading to their initial destination. But somehow, he grows some suspicions, realizing that the direction they take now is no longer heading to Grey County.“Hey, where are you going to take us to?” he asks.“I’m sorry, sir! I forgot to tell you before that I’ve planned to visit my brother. He is taking care of our mom at home now. I
From there, he sees those people leaving their car to look for him. It seems like they haven’t noticed that Victor is now hanging at the edge of the cliff.Victor looks below, and finds that the cab has wrecked after falling to the river. He isn’t sure how deep that river is, while there is also a rocky riverbank at the bottom of that cliff, about 1 meter from the edge of the river.“What now? Should I just jump?” he mumbles with a terrified face.He takes a look at those people again. His face looks so annoyed, knowing that he really doesn’t have that much choice. After all, there’s no way he can pull himself up by using only one hand.“Fuck this!”He decides to jump into the river. He pushes himself using both legs to get away from the cliff side, so that he can fall in the middle of the river. He is lucky that the riverbed is quite deep, and he doesn’t even hit the bottom after that fall.But the current is quite strong, and he is unable to judge which direction is the surface. Jus
Vincenzo gets back to the scene where he killed those people. He stealthily observes the situation first from afar, to see whether there are other people there.After making sure there hasn’t been anyone seeing those dead bodies yet, he drags them to the woods one by one. He covers the traces of blood that are scattered on the grassy ground with a pile of pieces of bushes.He also hides one of the two cars into the cabin in the deep of the woods. He uses the other car for himself. He keeps driving until he reaches a place where his mobile phone gets a signal.When he phones already get some 5G signal, he abandons the car. He cuts one of the new clothes, and dips it into the gas tank. He then creates a trail of gas on the ground for a few meters away.He lights it with a matchstick. As the fire spreads towards the car, he just turns away while making a phone call to someone.Boom!!!“Leona! I need your help. Can you pick me up?”[Sure! Where is your location now?]Vincenzo is silent fo
But Charles just averts his attention to the other picture, the picture of one woman that Viona thinks of as her mom, the adult Rosa. But that's not what Charles thinks of that one picture. “And this one, I believe this is Lilie Emery, Victor’s mom,” continues Charles. Viona is a bit startled to learn that the teenage girl and that adult woman are two different persons. To make things even more confusing to her, that adult woman’s face looks so similar to her. But here Charles said to her that the woman named Lilie Emery is actually Victor’s mom. While the girl on the tree swing is her mom, by the name Rosa Immanuel. “So, they are not the same person?” she mumbles confusedly. Charles just nods, and then leaves his chair. “But, why would Catarina give me the Emery name?” asks Viona. “What am I to this woman named Lilie Emery. Catarina would always tell me that I resemble this woman in this picture, and told me that she is my mom. Are me and Victor siblings?” But Charles keeps wal
Viona can’t put up a word to explain it without making Charles know about everything. But then, she realizes that there’s no reason for her to hide it anymore. “Because I was the one who gave the Ricin to Catarina. I’m sorry, Charles! We did have the intention to kill you. I thought you were the one who killed my mom. We even thought about killing Victor.” “What? Why would you put the blame on Victor too? He has nothing to do with this.” “I know! But Catarina wasn’t satisfied simply by killing you. She thought that the only thing to punish you is to kill the one you love,” she explains. Charles’ lips are shaking. He willingly accepts the consequence for the hatred that he has planted in Catarina’s heart. But he never expected that her hatred would be this big and serious. Viona starts calling the maid, asking them to tell the driver to prepare a car for Charles. It’s still better to take Charles by using an ambulance. But she still thinks about that alternative in case that ambula
A few moments later, two cops arrive. They intend to take Viona for further investigation, but Viona just clears everything simply by showing them Charles’s video.She never knew that she would be the one who needs it the most. But still, she is now in a dilemma whether to tell them the real story.“A suicide?” mumbles one of the cops. He then raises one of his eyebrows toward Viona, as if he is still in doubt. “Why would he choose Ricin for a suicide? I assume that you are well aware about the characteristics of this poison. You should know how weird it is when someone deliberately chooses Ricin instead of other kind of poison.”“Why don’t you just ask the man himself later. I just happened to find him recording that video. That’s when I knew he was trying to commit suicide. More than suicide, he was trying to punish himself for something,” explains Viona.“A punishment, huh?” responds that cop with a few nods, seeming to find it a bit more reasonable for Charles to pick Ricin.Viona
As the day passes, Victor regains his ability to move his left hand. He keeps practicing by holding a peach, and tries to squeeze it. The development is quite good, but he still hasn’t gained his memory back.However, one thing that makes Pablo less worried is the notion that the hemorrhage in Victor's brain might not be too bad. Now, after treating him for three days, he is already able to leave Victor alone in that cabin when he has to go hunting.At least, there’s Husky watching over Victor while he is not around. When he comes back by bringing three forest rabbits, he finds Victor looking at a photograph on a wooden cabinet. And this is not the first time he finds Victor showing interest in that photograph.“That’s me and my bandmate,” says Pablo.It shakes Victor’s attention. “Band mate?”“Yeah, a music band. It’s a long story. I haven’t seen them for more than five years.”Somehow, Victor feels a bit familiar with that photograph. And of course, it is the same photograph of the
