Near Death

Julia, please.

I'm your boyfriend.

Let's talk.

I have the right to know how you feel.

Instead of giving me the silent treatment,

I prefer that you tell me straight.

Wait for me, please. Let's talk.

Fuck! Julia!

Julia! Fuck!

- Fuck! Julia! - What happened?

- Julia! - Somebody fell!

- Help her! - Call the ambulance!

Julia.

Julia, how could you do this?

Everybody clear?

Everybody clear? Charge.

- Everybody clear? - Clear.

Charge.

- It's so cold in here. - Please help me.

I want to go back.

I want to go back.

It's so dark. Please save us.

I can't find my way. I need to go back.

- Have mercy on us. - Please forgive our sins.

I don't want to stay here. I want to live.

Where are we?

- It's so painful! - Please forgive our sins!

- Mercy. Mercy. - Mercy.

You're quite the survivor, you know?

I think it was nothing short of a miracle.

Seriously, your body took a hard fall.

And all those surgeries too.

I didn't think I'd survive.

You did?

Don't worry now.

What's important is that you recover.

Rest for now and pick up where you left off.

Oh, thank you.

Ma.

Julia is getting better.

We'll go home today.

Thank you, my child.

I love you two so much.

Don't you forget that.

Mia, wipe your tears.

You need to stay strong for Julia, now.

Ma, we need you here.

Please, don't be like this.

I'm also suffering here.

What happened to your sister hit me just as bad.

I understand, Ma.

Just like you always say, right?

Diaspora sucks.

I have to go, okay?

Goodbye.

I'll be back, okay?

Paging Dr. Osbourne.

Please proceed to the emergency room.

You're mine.

You can't escape here.

We want you.

She's mine. No one touches her.

- I want your body. - Your soul is doomed.

You can't run, you bitch.

Give us your body.

- Your soul will suffer with us. - You will rot here.

You will be punished forever.

Give us your body.

Sis, are you okay?

You were dreaming?

You go ahead. I'll just grab our stuff.

Give it to me.

You bitch.

I will follow you. I want your body.

You can't escape.

We want you.

I want to live again and repent for killing my daughter.

I need your body.

You will be punished forever.

Salve, it's you. Sorry, I thought…

- How are you? - I'm okay.

How about you?

Julia.

Yes?

Don't ever do that again, please?

You sinned against God.

I'm aware of that, Salve.

I guess when you hit rock bottom,

you lose a sense of reason.

Just hold on to God. Hold on, Julia.

What's wrong with him?

Bacterial infection.

They say he's done for.

What's wrong with your arms?

I caught Freddie's rash.

He's just way too clingy.

Alright, I'm just here.

We'll just take a nap, me and this itchy one.

- Alright. - Thanks.

Thank you.

Let's go.

Give me your body.

Your body is fresh.

I want it so I can live again.

I want revenge.

Those who tortured and mutilated me must suffer.

Give me your body.

They let me rot in jail, but I was innocent.

I want to go back and prove my innocence.

Do you want to move out?

This place holds too many bad memories.

A change of environment is what you need now.

And I'll help you move.

Don't worry. I'll think about it.

In the meantime, stay here with me, okay?

Be with me.

I'll stay with you.

Okay.

Don't leave me, please.

I won't leave you. Rest now.

Stay right there, okay?

Mia, do you want to ask why I did it?

I don't have the right words to help you understand.

I guess that time…

I wanted to put an end to my suffering.

'Cause it felt like a dead-end.

What dead-end?

Look around you.

You're a brilliant photographer.

People admire your work.

You have the talent. You have the gift.

You inherited Papa's eyes for good photos.

And I envy you for that.

In case you haven't noticed,

I don't have a single artistic bone in my body.

You know, you're right.

I realized that what I did was selfish.

I promise not to do it again.

Sis.

If you don't mind me asking,

what happened between you and Robee?

Weren't you two okay? Was he the reason?

No, he's not.

Robee has nothing to do with it.

You know, Mia, Robee is a good person.

He had to go to Australia. He had to leave me.

I'm the one who's messed up. I'm the one who lost it.

I'm a broken piece of glass that can't be fixed.

Robee knew it.

I'm Julia Santo Domingo.

These past few months

have been really tough.

I came face-to-face with death once.

But I came back.

Was it despair?

Emptiness?

Loneliness?

I know that I gave up on my life.

And…

I know now that it was a grave mistake.

Now, you're all alone. You will be mine.

I'm coming for you.

You leave her alone. You sick pedophile.

You're a bitch. You will suffer in hell.

Please help me.

I want revenge. I want revenge.

Julia.

- Salve. - What's all the commotion?

I heard the noises from the hallway.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Did I disturb you?

This place feels unsettling, Julia.

Why are you here?

Pesky dog.

How did you get in here?

Peeing again, aren't you?

I apologize, Julia. We'll be heading out.

- Come on. - Thank you, Salve.

Let's go home. Let's go.

Mia,

it's like my mind is all messed up.

I'm hearing all sorts of things.

That's normal, sis.

Don't stress over nothing.

I'm not a doctor, but it seems normal to me.

Could be from the trauma you went through.

I mean,

it's been what?

It's only been six months.

That's normal, sis, okay?

I hope so.

I'm confused.

I hope it's just clinical.

I hope it's nothing serious.

It'll pass, sis. Don't worry.

By the way, how's that photo exhibit of yours?

Oh shit, of course.

Wait, I need to fix that.

Isn't it coming up soon?

Don't worry. I'll get it done.

You know how important that is, right?
