He says, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry for not telling you. For just leaving.” He looks to the side and says, “You’ve done so much for me. Mother and father… they set me on a path, but you…” He looks down. “You raised me. I should never have done that to you.” He grips the side of the rotary phone. “The man you hired found me.

A voice in a crackly speech bubble indicating a recording says, “I love you, Alfred.” There’s a beep as the view continues moving through rooms of the manor. “ – isn’t forever.”The view finally lands on Alfred, sitting hunched behind a phone, one hand keeping the phone to his ear and the other continuously replaying the end of the message. The message repeats with a beep, “I love you, Alfred.” A close shot of Alfred’s shadowed, tired-looking face. “ – isn’t forever.” The view zooms out again to show Alfred sitting alone in the room. “I love you, Alfred.” End ID] If you need me I’ll be busy crying my eyes out -- source link
