Aftermath Page #3

---

You know, I need to

tie up loose ends.

Sure.

And I need to get back to work.

I just need a little time

to settle back in.

Well, there's no hurry, Roman.

Maybe I should spend

less time at the cemetery.

The only thing is that

nadiya and olena are there.

They can't leave.

So I go there and visit them,

because...

They can't go anywhere.

They can't.

I mean, on the other hand I need to

take care of things around here.

I need to clean up.

I mean, I should be

doing things right now.

So, I got, I'm sorry,

i got to get going.

Of course, I'll leave you to it.

You take care, Roman.

Of course I love you, Jake.

I think this is best

for Samuel and for us,

and I really hope

it's best for you, too.

- Where is Samuel right now?

- He's at my sister's, remember?

What, I can't even

say goodbye to him?

Honey, you don't

have to say goodbye.

You can see him

whenever you want.

You don't have to say goodbye.

What did you say to him?

What did you tell him?

I just told him

we were gonna spend

- a few nights at his aunt's house.

- Christina.

You know, he loves having

the dog and the cats around.

He's not gonna understand that.

He will, not right now,

but he will eventually.

We'll just make

it normal for him.

Jake, I think you just need

some time to focus on you.

Because if we keep living like

this I think we'll just keep

hurting each other and,

you know,

we'll get to a point where

i don't know if we can fix it.

So we're gonna

do this for Samuel.

And for us.

Okay?

Yeah, for Samuel.

That's the Springfield armory.

Eleven plus one rounds, $674.

Three, two-inch berettas,

ten plus one rounds,

will run you about $570.

Now, the two Smith & Wesson

models we have, the black m&p,

eight plus one rounds,

will run you about $560

and the airweight 38 special,

it's got more of a classic air

and a stainless steel finish,

so that's gonna run you

about $436.

Our cheapest model

is the hi point

9 millimeter, $199.

Comes with a free pocket knife.

Mr. bonanos, can we speak with

you for a moment?!

Jake.

How you doing, Jake?

I'm fine, thanks.

If it's okay with you guys, I'd

like to get straight to the point,

I don't wanna keep you

waiting any longer.

Yeah, sure.

So we still don't have

a trial date.

That will take a while but you

know management will provide

all the legal coverage

you need, so.

We're thinking of you, Jake.

This is the second time

I've offered,

but we all agree you could use

some psychological support.

I know Christina

agrees with us on that one.

Yeah, right.

And as far as work goes,

there are several options.

You could stay here

doing administrative work.

Um, I don't know.

Or we could also offer

you another possibility.

Only if you're interested,

of course,

but the severance package

that we could offer you

could be very advantageous.

Management, they always recommend

what's best for the worker

but in your particular case, in

order to guarantee your safety,

it may be in your best interest if you

were to consider making a change.

A radical change, Jake.

The safest isn't just another

job, it's another city.

Another home.

Another name.

Another life.

That's okay, that's okay.

But my... my wife's here.

My... my family.

I can't just...

We can't just up and move,

you know?

This may potentially be the safest

thing to do for you and your family.

You really have to consider what

we're presenting to you right now.

Think about their best interest

and their well being.

Let me know when he gets

back to you, alright.

He was supposed

to get back to me already.

- James.

- Mr. melnyk.

I don't think you know the lawyers

representing the airlines,

John and James gullick.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

The meetings

with the victims' families

have been carrying over

these days.

That's okay.

Allow me to say that most

have been very fruitful.

Agreements are being reached.

Which is why we're here today.

To reach an agreement.

Mr. melnyk, you are the only

family member who has chosen

to sue the company by himself,

without a lawyer and without

signing up with any of

the victims' associations.

I'd like you to know that

you have our complete respect

and that to us it

makes no difference.

Our proposal will

be exactly the same.

James.

Mr. melnyk, this is the

framework agreement

we're proposing to the families.

I would like to just...

It's a friendly agreement

between you and the airline

in which you agree

to withdraw all claims

and lawsuits from the company.

Now, in exchange, the company

will take care of your family's

funeral expenses and any medical

or psychological treatment

that may have been

deemed necessary to date.

The company also agrees to

pay you damages in the amount of

$75,000 for your daughter's death

and $85,000 for your wife's.

- $160,000 in total.

- I would like to just...

There are also some

minor clauses in the contract.

For example, you will automatically

receive premium client status

from the airline

within our group.

You'll be able to benefit from

those and other advantages.

These are details

that you should read carefully

because they are clearly

explained in the contract.

I would like for someone to say that

they're sorry for killing my family.

I want the company to apologize.

Mr. melnyk, let me explain this

to you a little more simply.

If you don't sign this contract,

you're probably not gonna

get a penny for all of this.

Now $160,000 is a lot of money.

Someone in your position shouldn't

turn down such an offer.

Look at this photo.

Because you didn't before.

Look at it.

Look at it!

Where's your mind right now?

Still feel like you're unable

to engage with your family?

Still feeling pensive?

Well, today let's try to focus

on the positive feelings

you've had this week.

Come... I was really hoping I could

just get a refill on my prescription.

On those moments

when you feel at ease...

Maybe doing something

you find satisfying.

It may seem silly,

but makes you feel good.

Think about your daily routine.

At home, places you go, people

you see on a weekly basis.

I really just

want the prescription.

A stroll, a TV program,

talking to a friend.

Look, I don't feel good

strolling or eating,

or seeing anyone,

or talking to anyone.

So just give me

the f***ing pills, please.

Or I'll go down the street

and rob the goddamned pharmacy.

"And these will go away

into eternal punishment,

but the righteous

into eternal life."

That eternal life

which Matthew spoke of,

that feeling that tells us our loved ones

are somewhere else, somewhere better,

is the feeling that must prevail

on a day like today.

One year ago we were

struck by a tragic event.

Many lives were lost unjustly,

incomprehensibly

and unexpectedly.

But today the spirits

of the people we lost

are somewhere else, watching us.

And they can see that on a day like today

we remember them and pay tribute to them.
