The Silent Noise

Anton, I tried to make you believe me.

You gave up while I made myself blind

because I wanted to get you back from them.

Get me back from who? Tell it to me straight.

You'll get me back from who?

You know?

No fighting, no drama...

We'll forget about our problems.

I was looking for the kite. Where did you put it?

Shoot, I think I left it at home.

I should've just taken it myself.

Jackie, let's not fight over a mere kite.

So I'm in the wrong?

I am. I know that kite means something else to you.

You're just using Eli.

And I know that you won't run out of reasons

to get mad at me so you could finally leave me, right?

- Eli's gone. - Eli!

Your mother saw me with another woman.

When you did that, did you even think about us?

Do you want to know the truth?

Ask your mother, then.

Ask her about her and Sam's relationship!

Whatever that was, it's over. I ended it, Jackie.

You only ended it because you got caught.

Jackie...

When I get back, you better be gone.

- Jackie, please! - Don't touch me!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

My baby...

Mama's here.

Hold on, okay?

I'm sorry.

Jackie.

Maybe we can still talk about what happened.

What did Sam tell you?

What does she know?

Sam didn't tell me anything.

I saw you myself,

so there's nothing left to talk about.

I really don't know why I did that.

You don't need to explain. I don't care anymore.

All I care about now is my child.

Because if anything happens to him, I'll never forgive you.

- What does that mean, Doc? - Initiate epinephrine.

Jackie.

Eli! Eli! Eli!

- Jackie. - Doc, what's going on?

- Jackie. - Let go of me.

Don't do this!

Fight, Eli, please!

Please don't leave me!

Eli!

Doc, we've got a pulse.

We've got a heartbeat.

Jackie, are you all right?

What are you doing? Did your doctor release you?

Those are just your things. Go home.

I don't need company here.

If anything happens, there are nurses.

- Jackie, I can watch over you... - I don't want that.

Go home.

Every time I see you, my chest tightens.

That's why I don't want you here. Go home.

- Jackie, you can't be alone. - Just go home already!

- Go home! - I'll stay with you!

- Go home! - Jackie, please!

Go home!

Sit down first.

Was I wrong?

Was what I did wrong?

Everything's still fresh. You're angry.

You're worried about Eli.

It'll pass soon.

I don't know...

Every time I see him, I see my child's condition.

Especially those seconds when he lost his pulse.

Sam, all I felt was anger.

From Anton.

Accept it, he tried.

I didn't say anything.

There's diapers, milk, and vitamins for you too.

Is he sleeping well?

Are they both asleep?

- I'll help you. - No, I got it.

I got this, he already made you the messenger.

I'm just folding laundry.

I can do it.

Not there. There.

Jackie, I know

you're still angry, but maybe

maybe it's good if he knows his place in the kids' lives.

He has a place.

He's their dad. That won't change.

Not just as their father,

but as your partner in life too.

Jackie, this isn't one person's job.

Look at your light, it's flickering.

What happened?

I've got it.

- Me. I got it. - No.

- I've got it. - No, I'll do it.

Jackie, come on.

Sit down, okay?

Even for a few minutes, just so you can breathe.

Eli...

Mr. and Mrs. Carpio.

What were the results?

Will our child be deaf?

But Doc, aren't there other options?

This isn't permanent, right?

Aren't there things we can do?

There are treatments, interventions, Doc, right?

But your child's hearing cannot be restored.

Your apologies won't help, Anton.

We need to be strong for Eli.

Jackie, give me a chance.

I'll make it up to you.

I'll make it up to Eli. I'll make it up to our kids.

Jackie...

I don't want to waste my life blaming you.

Eli needs both of us.

Our kids need us too.

Things might never be the same again,

but one thing's for sure,

the kids are waiting for you to come home.

Isn't he cute?

Papa, your seminar's over!

Can I?

Jackie, thank you.

I'll never waste the chance you gave me.

Um, hungry?

Anyone want a snack?

I'm gonna go whip something up.

Jackie. Jackie.

Son.

Regarding gene therapy,

this might be good for improving Eli's hearing.

- Read it. - Mm, okay.

I'll read it when I have time.

Don't you have time now?

No, I don't.

I don't want to give it time today, tomorrow,

or the following days, Anton.

We tried a lot of things,

but none of them worked.

It's exhausting.

Maybe we can take a break.

Yes, I know that.

I'm just saying, maybe we can still fix Eli while he's still young.

"Fix Eli"?

He's not broken.

Mama.

How do you say "Daddy?"

Mama, join us too.

Now that everybody's here,

we have Daddy, Mommy,

this is what you call a family.

That's it!

Eli...

It will light up when someone rings the doorbell.

That way, Eli will know if there's someone outside.

Sam, thank you.

I'm sorry for accusing you of telling on me to Jackie.

You even helped us patch things up.

You are a good friend.

I'm sorry I let my thoughts get the best of me.

Forget about it, okay?

Especially Eli.

Thank you.

- Are the kids resting already? - Yes.

I bet they're tired.

Yes, but they enjoyed the session.

Thank you.

Is that right?

That's right.

- I love you. - I love you.

Matteo said he is able to hear music.

Okay, come here.

Mama, come join us and sing.

Did you feel it?

You don't seem okay.

Is it that obvious?

I haven't slept well lately.

Maybe you need this.

It might help you.

You'll get a good night's sleep and feel calm.

You're crazy!

Come on.

Sam...

Why do you have that?

It's just...

My mother had just died,

and Dad was starting to get sick.

Plus, my brother...

Well, I had no one to depend on.

There are days when taking them

is the only thing that helps me get through the day.

But lately, I don't think I need it anymore.
