Aftermath Page #4

And to keep this memory alive,

to keep it ingrained

inside of us,

and in this place, today we

inaugurate this monument,

this memorial to the victims.

Roman melnyk?

I'm Andrew berg.

I lost my wife and my

in-laws in the accident.

I'm very sorry.

I read the story in the papers

about your daughter's necklace.

I thought it was nice

that they used it as

inspiration for the monument.

Do you like it?

Yes.

What do you...

I... I don't know what to do.

I get up in the morning

and I don't know what to do.

Maybe it's not that I don't

know what to do the whole day,

it's that I don't know

what to do in the next hour

or the next minute.

I'm sorry, I'm being so honest.

That's okay.

Go ahead.

Sometimes I try to

think of things to distract me,

you know, just try and think

about something else,

then I immediately forget

and I don't do them.

I just sit at home,

not knowing what to do.

It won't be easy,

but sooner or later

you will find something

that'll help you get out of bed.

- You think so?

- I know so.

Be patient.

That's what I need, dammit.

Have you gotten through it?

- Ever been to Cancun?

- No.

It's a wonderful place and in the

northern tip of the Yucatan peninsula.

Um, is that something you guys

seem like you're interested in?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, yeah.

Okay, there's a cruise ship

leaving out of Florida

and it heads just

straight down there.

Let me get some

of your information

I'll get you guys started.

How's it going?

Great.

Well, come on, time for a break.

No, I'd like to

finish this side today.

I already opened them, so.

Thanks.

Oh... this week's pay.

Not until I'm finished.

- You're doing a great job.

- Thanks.

If I liked the fence that my

wife picked out it'd be amazing.

Bye, guys.

- Mr. melnyk.

- I need to ask you a favor.

I want you to help me find him.

- Pat, it's Tessa.

- I know it's been a long time.

I'm coming to town, is there

somewhere we could meet?

The book is finished. I have to

send it in next week for lay-out,

but if you really wanted to say

anything it would be an honor.

That's why I don't wanna

ask you anything specific.

I'm not talking about

an interview or photographs.

I just wanna give you

a chance to say something.

Add a comment, a thought?

Or to not say anything at all,

if that's what you want.

You know, sometimes I...

Sometimes I put

myself in their shoes.

You know, the families'.

And then I think about

my son and my wife,

and it scares me to death,

it's terrifying.

I mean, what can I say?

You know, I...

I just want this pain

inside of me to go away.

So, tell them...

Look, I'm not a bad person.

Right?

- Alright, I'll see you guys.

- See you Monday.

- Have a good weekend, pat.

- You too.

- Yes?

- - I found him.

Hi.

He put his house up for sale

and moved to another state.

He works at a travel agency four

blocks away from his new apartment.

And what's his address?

I don't know if I should

give you that.

What's wrong?

I'd like you to use this

information in the correct way.

There is no correct way

or incorrect way.

It's not that simple.

I told you, I just want

to look him in the eye.

Show him a photograph

of my family.

I want him to apologize.

No one has said they're sorry.

No one.

Pat dealbert.

Pat dealbert?

His name is pat dealbert now.

Where are you going?

Goodbye.

Is pat dealbert home?

He sure is, that's me.

We're here to stay the weekend.

I know buddy, I know.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I'm glad you're here.

Okay, let me get your stuff.

We were rehearsing his

lines the whole way here.

Yeah, well, he did a good job.

Hey, you guys are a lot

earlier than I thought.

Yeah, we made great time.

We had a speed demon

in the passenger seat.

I'm just finishing up dinner, you

guys make yourselves at home.

Yeah.

So who did you

tell him pat dealbert was?

I told him it was

like Clark Kent or Bruce Wayne.

A name you told people

so they wouldn't know

the truth that

you're a superhero.

So I'm... I'm super Jake.

Yeah, at first,

he said it was stupid,

but, then he thought

it was kind of funny.

Yeah.

And, um,

how have you been feeling?

Honestly?

Alone.

Um...

This whole kind of place

feels unnatural.

You know,

i have days that I wake up

and I feel like things

are getting better

and the next day I wake up

it just kind of feels like

things are getting worse.

Well, I'm...

I'm sure it'll take time.

Move here.

Quit your job and move here,

you and Samuel.

Yeah, this'd be a great place

for all of us

to get a fresh start.

And we could all

be super heroes.

I think we just need to...

To take it slow.

You know, I think it's better.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

Um...

I made the bed for you guys

so I'm gonna sleep

on the sofa tonight.

What?

I just thought

that was the plan.

I guess, um, my plan was

we could all

fit in one bed, the three of us.

Okay, well, then my plan

is no longer my plan.

Good.

Jake.

Hello?

I love it.

Mama.

I love it.

I think it all depends on

this card. Oh, wait, no, no.

I win.

- He got us.

- Good job, buddy.

- Alright.

- Let's play again.

- Again?

- Honey, it's late.

Please?

Alright, it'll be a

really quick game, okay?

- Yes.

- I'm gonna fill these up.

You know what? While your

dad's doing that, pajamas.

- Okay.

- Okay, brush some teeth.

Yes?

Can I help you?

Look at this photo.

This is my family!

Listen to me. You can't be showing

up here like this you hear me?

- Look at it!

- I see it, but my family's here, okay?

You killed them!

I'm gonna call the

police if you don't leave.

- My son is in here!

- No one had apologized!

- You killed them!

- It was an accident, okay?!

You hear me?!

What's the matter with you?!

You can't be showing up like this.

What have you lost your mind?

I'm gonna call the police

right now, you need to leave!

You understand me?

You need to leave!

It was an accident.

I didn't kill anybody!

What's gotten into you?

You need to leave now!

Have you lost your mind?

You need to leave now

or I'm gonna call the police.

You hear me? You hear me?

Stay here.

Olena, stay back.

Stay back.

Mommy?

Nadiya.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid, nadiya.

No.

He did not know

that the new life

would not be

given to him for nothing,

that he would have to

pay dearly for it,

that it would cost him great

strife and great suffering.

But that, that is the

beginning of a new story.

The story of

the renewal of a man,

the story of his

gradual regeneration,

of his passing from

one world into another.

Roman, let's go.

So they agreed

to review the sentence

and apply the extenuating

circumstances we presented.

And to be honest, Roman, ah,

I didn't expect them to reduce

the sentence so drastically.

It's been ten years and you

could get parole in four months.

You'll have to visit a

psychiatrist three times a week,

who will write up monthly

reports on your progress.

If you go to every session

and those reports are positive,
