Original subtitles

I was in high school when Mrs sundel

became our new history teacher there

were rumors that she'd been kicked out

of her old school for rupturing the

eardrum of one of her students

apparently that student was deaf and she

blew an air horn right next into his ear

to prove that it wouldn't affect him but

of course it did affect him his eardrum

ruptured and he had to be taken to the

hospital because blood started running

out of his ear so everyone knew Mrs

sundell was a bit crazy and one time

while talking about the Holocaust she

suddenly burst into tears and wondered

if it was because she was Jewish and had

lost part of her family to the Nazis but

then she explained that her husband had

dumped her the day before for a younger

woman to be frank I thought it was

tasteless of her to tell us students

about her private life while discussing

an event as tragic as the Holocaust but

I knew she had mental issues so the next

day after class when all other students

had left the classroom I gave her

flowers and said I'm sorry you were

going through a divorce Mrs sundell but

I believe believe in you now let me

preface that I was 18 years old at the

time and nothing that happens in this

story is illegal of course Mrs sundell

was an attractive woman but I never plan

on becoming her lover oh thank you for

the flowers you are such a gentleman no

problem and enjoy your weekend

um wait I hope you don't mind me asking

but are you free this Saturday uh free

for what oh uh I'm gonna cook some pasta

and I haven't been on a first date in

years so why don't you come over of

course I accepted the offer Mrs sundell

was gorgeous after all but in hindsight

I realized that Mrs sundell was also

mentally unstable and that maybe I was

taking advantage of her recent breakup I

mean the first time I visited her home

she immediately introduced me to her

eight-year-old daughter and said hey

look who your mom is dating now he's one

of my students and super cute much cuter

than your useless dad Mrs sundel's

daughter looked Disturbed she was

extremely underweight had dark circles

under her eyes and avoided eye contact

meanwhile Mrs sundell pulled me on the

couch and started making out with me it

felt super awkward because her daughter

sat less than a meter away from us but

she knew what to do and left the room so

we could be alone then at dinner Mrs

sundel told me about her husband he's

crazy one time my phone battery died and

he couldn't reach me for three hours so

he called the police and told them I was

missing also he's been stalking me ever

since we broke up stalking you yeah he

always Parks somewhere near my house and

watches where I go and who visits me so

he might have seen me come into your

house today he probably did and I warn

you he is violent she said that with a

big smirk on her face as if she wanted

her husband to find out about me and

beat me up I asked has your husband ever

been violent of ours just recently he

locked me into the trunk of his car for

a whole weekend just because I told him

that I was cheating on him with our

neighbor oh God what had I gotten myself

into I looked over to Mrs sundell's

daughter and asked do you like your dad

no I hate him and he's only my stepdad

hmm and has he ever treated you badly in

any way she looked away she was too

ashamed to answer the question okay

listen Mrs sundel if your husband is

violent you have to protect your

daughter from him well that's why you

are here to protect us it suddenly

dawned on me that Mrs sundell had the

emotional maturity of a child she

wouldn't take responsibility for

anything not even her own daughter's

safety so after dinner I wrote down my

number on a piece of paper and gave it

to Mrs sundell's daughter call me if you

are ever in danger then I told Mrs

sundell I couldn't solve her

relationship problem and that we would

not meet up again until she had

successfully divorced her husband I

thought that was the end of the story

but a week later she came into school

with a black eye she said that someone

had shot a football in her face but I

didn't believe it and suspected that her

husband had hit her after class I asked

her did your husband do this to you what

do you care you said you want nothing to

do with me oh God she was so immature I

should have stayed away from her as far

as I could but I wanted to make sure her

daughter was safe from her stepdad so I

told her I would spend the night at her

place to protect them I was sleeping in

her bed when in the middle of the night

someone knocked on the front door oh no

it's my husband if he finds out you were

here he will kill you for sure I was

afraid but also determined I picked up a

lamp followed Mrs sundell to the entry

door and said don't let him inside and

if he tries to hurt you I will knock him

out with a lamp okay yeah that's a great

plan but Mrs sundell opened the door and

her husband's first question was why do

you have a black eye did someone hurt

you oh

um don't you remember you got drunk and

hit me what are you talking about I've

been sober for six months and anyway why

did you send me an SMS 20 minutes ago

telling me to immediately come over what

I didn't send you a message and you

can't come into my house right now

because I have a visitor oh my god did

Mrs sundel just tell her husband that I

was here did she want him to kill me

what you brought another man into my

house you are cheating on me we are

getting divorced have you already

forgotten Mrs sundel's husband pushed

her to the side and stepped into the

house I wasn't sure if I should use the

moment of surprise and knock him out

with my lamp or Instead try to talk to

him and explain myself but I had no time

to think so when his bald head came

through the door I swung the lamp right

at him however this guy was jacked and

just blocked my swing with his arm then

he grabbed me by the throat and pushed

me with all his strength against the

wall he was much stronger than me but as

a last resort I kicked him in the nuts

which actually brought him to his knees

then I told Mrs sundel to immediately

call the police I can't do that he is

still my husband

this woman was crazy I went home and

thought about what just happened it

seemed that Mrs sundell had only started

a romance with me to get back at her

husband and to make him jealous so the

next day in school I went to her and

wiped my finger over her black eye it's

only makeup you made it all up I had to

put out the black eye you would have

never come back to protect me from my

husband Mrs sundell was lying through

her teeth like she always did the only

reason I came back to visit her at her

home was to check up on her daughter and

make sure she was okay we were eating

dinner when I asked where is your

daughter by the way oh shoot I forgot to

pick her up from school again can you do

it for me it was 8 PM when I arrived at

her school the teacher had waited three

hours for Mrs sundel's daughter to be

picked up and was really mad but I felt

even worse for the girl I knew she felt

like no one cared about her I took her

to McDonald's for dinner where she told

me that her mom often locked her into a

room for days so her mom could sleep

with other men without being disturbed

and I had seen her room it only had a

dirty mattress on the floor and not a

single toy to play with have you ever

been to a playground or watched a movie

in a cinema no my mom only allows me to

leave my room to eat watch TV and go to

school this girl had been seriously

neglected I brought her back home but I

could see Mrs sundell's husband through

the window I can protect you there

inside but I promise we will do

something fun this weekend because you

are a great girl don't ever let your mom

make you think otherwise can you marry

my mom and become my dad I told her that

wasn't possible however for the next

seven years I've picked her up every

weekend to do something fun like taking

her to the playground or just asking her

how she was doing Mrs sundel's husband

of course hated that I was taking care

of his stepdaughter he even almost

caught me once in front of their house I

was barely able to escape the reason he

couldn't completely forbid me from

seeing his stepdaughter was that I had

once threatened to contact the police

and child protective services on him

anyway I still visit his wife sometimes

when he is on business trips so I'm not

completely innocent in this story either

meanwhile the little girl is a teenager

now and she is doing okay she has been

diagnosed with ADHD and is failing most

of her classes probably because her mom

neglected her so badly however I've

helped her find a therapist so she can

work through her childhood trauma and I

hope she will live a normal life when

she moves out of her mom's home
