[Video transcript begin.]

[The video begins with the camera being hastily shoved into someones jean pocket, heavy breathing can be heard, along with talking. A woman in leggings and a tight t-shirt ]

?: I knew you’d come to your senses, honey! 

[Voice registered. Awaiting name.]

?: No! No, stop!

[Voice identified: Liam.]

[The woman grabs Liam’s arm, nails digging into the sleeve of his hoodie. She drags him towards a house. The door opens, and the woman takes him inside.]

?: Gloria, who’s there?

[Name registered: Gloria.]

[Voice registered. Awaiting name.]

G: Jason, it’s Liam! He’s all fixed! 

[Name registered: Jason.]

L: No! Let me go!

J: I knew you’d fix yourself. Do you get it now? The outside world is too dangerous for you. You need us.

[Liam wrenches his arm out of Gloria’s grip. Taking a few steps back.]

L: I– I–

J: You need us, Liam. I hope you’ve learned your lesson.

[A few seconds of silence. Before Liam speaks up again.]

L: N– no! I don’t! I was doing just fine before!

[Jason laughs. Staring at Liam in disbelief.]

J: You liar. 

L: I’m not–

G: Sweetie, please. You’re just a kid! How could you ever survive on your own?

L: I made friends! I–

J: Enough, Liam. To your room. 

[Another silence.]

J: The time out of the house fixed you, that’s why you’re back. It got all that nasty shit out of your brain. You’ll go to your room, and behave. Now.

L: I–

J: What? Don’t tell me you’re still one of those dirty f[REDACTED]s, Liam! 

[The room is still. The air sucked out of it with one word.]

G: Listen to your father, Liam.

L: He’s not my fucking father! He never was! 

[Gloria gasps.]

G: Liam! That is no way to speak to your parents!

L: You aren’t my parents, I don’t care if you’re related to me by blood, Gloria. I hate you! I fucking hate you both! I didn’t want to come back, I’m not fucking ‘fixed’ like you thought! This is me! You can’t fix that! 

J: Enough of this bullshit!

L: SHUT THE FUCK UP! I HATE YOU. I HATE YOU SO MUCH. I WANT YOU OUT OF MY LIFE! I–

[Jason raises his hand and brings it down, hard. Liam cuts himself off with a yelp as the hand makes contact with him, he backs away from Jason. The older man's face is fully red, his expression almost oozes rage.]

J: Listen here, you fucking brat, we’re your parents, and you’ll listen to us! We are the ones taking care of you, you ungrateful piece of shit, so what we say goes. That is final!

[Liam stays silent, he slides his foot backwards.]

J: Where the fuck do you think you’re going?

[Without another word, he sprints and jumps out the window.]

J: GET BACK HERE, YOU FUCKING F[REDACTED]!

[A loud gunshot rings out in the quiet neighborhood. Liam screams, but keeps running, his breathing heavy and panicked. He sprints like his life depends on it.]

[Transcript end.]
