“I did it.”
“Did you let me bury an empty coffin?”
Thomas has lowered his eyes.
"Yes."
“Why?”
“To prevent Silas from killing you.”
Elias hit him.
The old man has fallen.
No one moved.
Thomas wiped his blood off his mouth.
“I deserved that.”
Elias caught him.
“You’ve been worth twenty years of that.”
“I know.”
“You watched me live alone.”
“I looked from a distance.”
"Worse."
Thomas did not protest.
Then Rose cried.
Thomas looked at the baby.
His expression collapsed.
"My granddaughter?"
Mara took a step back.
"No."
Thomas nodded.
“I understand.”
Elias looked at Samuel.
“What is this place?”
And Samuel answered.
“A Resistance.”
For years, Silas controlled Mercy Ridge through debt and fear.
Thomas had gathered evidence.
Samuel moved the discs.
David had tried to give his father away.
They all failed separately.
Now everything was sitting.
Because of two little girls.
Mara looked at the people in the room.
