  1. 0:00How's it going, my beautiful people? I
  2. 0:02hope you enjoy this next story.
  3. 0:08Since I was little, I often heard my
  4. 0:10father say one thing.
  5. 0:13The courtroom does not exist to seek
  6. 0:15justice within it.
  7. 0:17The truth is that justice depends on who
  8. 0:19can prove their truth and who truly
  9. 0:22convinces the court.
  10. 0:25However, there is a giant abyss between
  11. 0:27the two.
  12. 0:30I grew up hearing him say that phrase so
  13. 0:32often that I started to feel it as part
  14. 0:34of our lives.
  15. 0:36A thought that became solid over time,
  16. 0:38imposing itself on every aspect of my
  17. 0:41life.
  18. 0:43Perhaps the same thing happened to him
  19. 0:45when he heard it from his father.
  20. 0:48In my family, certain ideas were not
  21. 0:50discussed like in the vast majority of
  22. 0:52other families.
  23. 0:54Those thoughts and ideologies were
  24. 0:57inherited just like a surname or a name
  25. 1:00.
  26. 1:02My great-grandfather taught it to my
  27. 1:04grandfather, my grandfather to my father
  28. 1:07, and someday my father would teach it
  29. 1:09to me in some absolute way.
  30. 1:12Because for ideas to endure, they must
  31. 1:16be solid.
  32. 1:19That Tuesday, walking in my father's
  33. 1:22shadow in the main hallway, I understood
  34. 1:24that that day had arrived.
  35. 1:29The courtroom was packed; there wasn't
  36. 1:31room for a soul between the people and
  37. 1:33the press.
  38. 1:35This case had been hogging the headlines
  39. 1:38, news, and radio broadcasts for weeks.
  40. 1:42In a quick representation, the people
  41. 1:44would be a lion that hasn't been fed in
  42. 1:47months, which in this case would be the
  43. 1:50accused.
  44. 1:52The city was outraged.
  45. 1:55Outside these walls, dozens of people
  46. 1:58held signs demanding the maximum
  47. 2:01sentence, some even the death penalty.
  48. 2:06In here, the atmosphere was different
  49. 2:08and suffocating, barely habitable.
  50. 2:13Those who wanted to scream in hatred
  51. 2:16remained silent and contained by respect
  52. 2:19for the very system that brought them
  53. 2:22and their target here, becoming mute
  54. 2:24beings.
  55. 2:28Those who spoke for them wore suits and
  56. 2:30carried neat hairstyles and briefcases
  57. 2:32full of papers as their calling card.
  58. 2:36These people spoke in whispers and
  59. 2:38waited patiently for the legal machinery
  60. 2:41to do its job.
  61. 2:43In a tug-of-war between those who said
  62. 2:46guilty and the one who said innocent.
  63. 2:51I was there in the middle of it all,
  64. 2:53occupying a hard wooden seat behind the
  65. 2:56defense table, still in my father's
  66. 2:58shadow, right behind his back.
  67. 3:03This was the first time he allowed me to
  68. 3:05accompany him to a trial, and even more
  69. 3:07so one of this caliber.
  70. 3:10It was just a few seconds ago that we
  71. 3:13were in the hallway.
  72. 3:15Before we walked in here, he directed
  73. 3:17some final words to me.
  74. 3:20Pay attention, he who does not guard his
  75. 3:22words only wants to hide the truth
  76. 3:25through his own fears, and that is even
  77. 3:27more evident in a lawyer.
  78. 3:30He murmured before crossing the swinging
  79. 3:33doors.
  80. 3:38After that, I took my seat, watching him
  81. 3:41enter the room with calm and confidence
  82. 3:43before he stopped speaking to me
  83. 3:45altogether.
  84. 3:47His serenity imposed itself in silence
  85. 3:49without the need to raise his voice.
  86. 3:53He greeted the judge with a slight nod,
  87. 3:56then I watched him walk to his seat,
  88. 3:58facing me as he organized his folders on
  89. 4:01the table, revealing the golden
  90. 4:03blackbird seal he always carried on his
  91. 4:06briefcase.
  92. 4:09He sat in his place without looking at
  93. 4:12the defendant or glancing toward the
  94. 4:14area where the victims 'parents and
  95. 4:16relatives were, and he completely
  96. 4:19ignored the television cameras capturing
  97. 4:21everything from the back.
  98. 4:24He simply remained silent, and in doing
  99. 4:26so, he reminded me of another one of his
  100. 4:28lessons from my childhood.
  101. 4:30Whoever controls their emotions can
  102. 4:32control what happens around them.
  103. 4:36The defendant, a man of perhaps 55 who
  104. 4:39looked like he could have been any
  105. 4:41school's literature teacher with a
  106. 4:44mustache, remained motionless in a metal
  107. 4:47chair at the center of it all.
  108. 4:51Next to him, two guards watched him,
  109. 4:53making sure the handcuffs holding him
  110. 4:56kept him in place.
  111. 4:59Despite the situation and the
  112. 5:01fluorescent light above his head, he
  113. 5:03didn't seem terrified, but he also
  114. 5:05didn't overflow with the false
  115. 5:06confidence of someone who was
  116. 5:08self-assured.
  117. 5:11He was just there in his orange inmate
  118. 5:13clothing.
  119. 5:16A second later, when everything went
  120. 5:18quiet under the judge’s gavel, the
  121. 5:20prosecutor began to speak, presenting as
  122. 5:23if he had a sword on his tongue, eager
  123. 5:25in every word.
  124. 5:29For nearly an hour, he deployed an
  125. 5:31arsenal of evidence, recordings,
  126. 5:33testimonies, and forensic reports.
  127. 5:36Each of his arguments seemed like a key
  128. 5:39closing a different exit, leaving him in
  129. 5:42a hallway of no return.
  130. 5:45When he finally went silent, even I was
  131. 5:47convinced by every one of his words,
  132. 5:50which seemed like an unbreakable wall.
  133. 5:53He turned his face toward my father, and
  134. 5:56he was still taking notes almost as if
  135. 5:59he were in his office and not in the
  136. 6:01middle of all this.
  137. 6:03There was nothing about him that seemed
  138. 6:06to faze him.
  139. 6:07When the judge granted him the floor,
  140. 6:10Dad closed his folder gently, stood up,
  141. 6:13and smiled slightly.
  142. 6:17I knew that expression; it wasn't a
  143. 6:19smile of satisfaction, it was the same
  144. 6:21smile he used when we played chess and
  145. 6:23he was about to beat me.
  146. 6:27Perhaps the calculating gesture of a man
  147. 6:29who had just found a crack in that
  148. 6:31concrete wall everyone assumed was
  149. 6:33indestructible.
  150. 6:36The magistrate adjusted his glasses,
  151. 6:38looking down at us before speaking.
  152. 6:41>> The defense has the floor.
  153. 6:44>> Dad just stood by his chair, resting his
  154. 6:47open hands on the table.
  155. 6:50Your Honor, his deep voice swept across
  156. 6:52every corner of the courtroom.
  157. 6:55The Prosecution has done an exceptional
  158. 6:58job.
  159. 6:59Those words paved the way for a murmur
  160. 7:01that traveled through the press gallery
  161. 7:04.
  162. 7:05The prosecutor frowned, clearly
  163. 7:07unsettled by the situation.
  164. 7:10It was not something one would say when
  165. 7:13defending a defendant, much less what
  166. 7:15was coming next.
  167. 7:17The evidence is overwhelming, the
  168. 7:19testimonies coherent, and the expert
  169. 7:22reports show no relevant contradictions
  170. 7:25.
  171. 7:26The truth is that I will not attempt to
  172. 7:29convince this court that my client is
  173. 7:31innocent, because he is not.
  174. 7:36I felt dozens of hostile stares
  175. 7:38instantly fixed in our direction before
  176. 7:41I held my breath and looked up at him.
  177. 7:45I did not understand what was happening
  178. 7:47.
  179. 7:47This was our first case together, and I
  180. 7:50never imagined hearing such a premature
  181. 7:53surrender as that.
  182. 7:56Even the defendant slowly turned his
  183. 7:58head to look at him in disbelief, as if
  184. 8:01he had thrown him into a den of lions,
  185. 8:03losing all his composure with a bead of
  186. 8:06cold sweat on his forehead.
  187. 8:09However, Dad continued imperturbably.
  188. 8:13My client committed atrocious acts, the
  189. 8:16dismemberment and rape of two girls,
  190. 8:19ages eight and 13.
  191. 8:21I saw how the mother of one of the
  192. 8:24victims broke into three heartbreaking
  193. 8:26sobs.
  194. 8:28At the same time, the prosecutor in the
  195. 8:30distance could not suppress a cynical
  196. 8:31smile, surely feeling that everything
  197. 8:33was moving in the right direction.
  198. 8:37Dad fell silent for a moment, one that
  199. 8:40was so abrupt it even felt uncomfortable
  200. 8:42.
  201. 8:44And only once everyone seemed to be
  202. 8:46waiting for him, he continued.
  203. 8:48However, that is not the question this
  204. 8:51court must answer today.
  205. 8:54He cleared his throat, causing the
  206. 8:56prosecutor's smile to vanish instantly.
  207. 8:59The issue is not whether he committed
  208. 9:01the crime; the real question is whether
  209. 9:03, at the precise moment of executing it
  210. 9:05, he possessed the mental capacity to
  211. 9:07understand the nature of his acts and
  212. 9:09act in accordance with that
  213. 9:11understanding.
  214. 9:13As soon as my father said that, the
  215. 9:16murmurs swallowed any hint of silence
  216. 9:18and calm.
  217. 9:20It was then that he slid his fingers
  218. 9:22toward one of the folders in his
  219. 9:24briefcase.
  220. 9:27It was so thin that it seemed ridiculous
  221. 9:29for there to be anything inside, but
  222. 9:31there were three sheets that looked
  223. 9:34insignificant compared to the
  224. 9:35Prosecution's monumental file.
  225. 9:39He took his time picking up the papers
  226. 9:42and spoke.
  227. 9:44Exactly nine years ago, my client was
  228. 9:47diagnosed with a severe psychiatric
  229. 9:50disorder, a medical history that,
  230. 9:52curiously, was conveniently ignored
  231. 9:54throughout the investigation of this
  232. 9:57trial.
  233. 9:59I saw the prosecutor straighten up in
  234. 10:01his place as soon as my father said that
  235. 10:03.
  236. 10:04>> Objection, Your Honor. It is untimely
  237. 10:06and out of form.
  238. 10:08>> He argued.
  239. 10:09>> Denied.
  240. 10:11>> He replied without taking his eyes off
  241. 10:13the reports that the court clerk had
  242. 10:15just placed in front of him.
  243. 10:19Over the next few minutes, Dad simply
  244. 10:21assembled a legal doubt so solid and
  245. 10:24relentless that the only certainty
  246. 10:26everyone believed they possessed upon
  247. 10:29entering those doors began to crumble
  248. 10:31bit by bit.
  249. 10:35I looked around, noticing that the
  250. 10:37journalists had stilled their fingers on
  251. 10:39their phone screens.
  252. 10:42At the same time, the prosecutor
  253. 10:43reviewed all his notes and evidence with
  254. 10:46an expression of absolute hatred.
  255. 10:49In that moment, I understood something
  256. 10:51raw and cold.
  257. 10:53My father wasn't facing the people in
  258. 10:55this court, but rather the raw reality
  259. 10:58that faltered before whoever could
  260. 11:00expose it with the best words.
  261. 11:043 hours later, now under the gaze of the
  262. 11:07blackbirds gathering above the skylight
  263. 11:10in the middle of the ceiling, the court
  264. 11:13reconvened.
  265. 11:15Everyone in the room stood up in silence
  266. 11:18, listening to the judge’s gavel and an
  267. 11:20intrusive whisper we didn't know the
  268. 11:22source of.
  269. 11:25>> After assessing the elements provided
  270. 11:27and the supplementary expert reports,
  271. 11:30>> the judge read in a monotonous voice.
  272. 11:33>> This court determines that the accused
  273. 11:35will not be sent to a common
  274. 11:36penitentiary.
  275. 11:39Instead, he shall be transferred
  276. 11:41immediately to a maximum-security
  277. 11:43psychiatric hospital to receive
  278. 11:45specialized treatment under the State's
  279. 11:47permanent custody and supervision.
  280. 11:51>> For a few seconds, it seemed as if the
  281. 11:54world had fallen silent, but then it was
  282. 11:57as if the gates of hell had opened among
  283. 11:59us.
  284. 12:02>> You scum, that monster ended my baby's
  285. 12:04life and you helped him get away with it
  286. 12:06.
  287. 12:08>> One of the victims' mothers screamed
  288. 12:10with guttural sounds that could curdle
  289. 12:12anyone's blood.
  290. 12:14The other mother joined her with curses
  291. 12:17that I could never repeat in my life, at
  292. 12:19least not with the same feeling.
  293. 12:23A photographer dropped his equipment to
  294. 12:25the floor, stunned by the commotion of
  295. 12:27the moment.
  296. 12:29At the same time, two security agents
  297. 12:31lunged to restrain one of the fathers
  298. 12:33who tried to jump over the wooden
  299. 12:35barrier that separated him from the
  300. 12:37accused.
  301. 12:39Faced with such a scene, the prosecutor
  302. 12:41closed his eyes with a grimace of
  303. 12:43absolute defeat, letting himself sink
  304. 12:45into his seat.
  305. 12:47The whole place began to turn into chaos
  306. 12:50amidst a tide of screams and frustration
  307. 12:52.
  308. 12:55Even so, all my father did was take his
  309. 12:57golden seal from his briefcase and put
  310. 13:00it in his left pants pocket before
  311. 13:02turning around and telling me, let's go
  312. 13:05.
  313. 13:08Before we started walking out of the
  314. 13:10room, I followed him, walking by his
  315. 13:13side, crossing every door with him,
  316. 13:16heading outside where the reporters
  317. 13:18waited for us like a pack of hungry dogs
  318. 13:21waiting for a piece of food or some
  319. 13:23scraps.
  320. 13:25>> Mr. Briggs, any statement?
  321. 13:28>> How can you sleep at night knowing who
  322. 13:30you defend?
  323. 13:32>> They shouted, but my father didn't even
  324. 13:35flinch at their demands; he just kept
  325. 13:37walking in silence, maintaining the same
  326. 13:40expression he had when the trial began.
  327. 13:44That was despite the barrage of camera
  328. 13:46flashes and insults.
  329. 13:48I, on the other hand, lowered my head
  330. 13:50and tried to shrink, looking for a way
  331. 13:52to become invisible in the mob.
  332. 13:55Unlike me, Dad stood firm with his head
  333. 13:58held high.
  334. 14:01For as long as I can remember, I've
  335. 14:03understood that a lawyer who loses is
  336. 14:05just a lawyer who lost a case.
  337. 14:09But one who wins is nothing more than
  338. 14:11the target of hateful stares and
  339. 14:13judgments from those on the other side.
  340. 14:18When we reached our vehicle in the
  341. 14:19underground parking lot, we could see in
  342. 14:21the distance the defendant being led
  343. 14:23toward the prison transport.
  344. 14:27Dad rested a hand on the door frame of
  345. 14:29his black Torino before getting in,
  346. 14:31looking straight at me without taking
  347. 14:33his eyes off mine.
  348. 14:35What did you learn today?
  349. 14:36His question took me by surprise,
  350. 14:39forcing me to organize my thoughts
  351. 14:41before I dared to articulate an answer.
  352. 14:45That even the most solid evidence can
  353. 14:47fall apart if attacked from the right
  354. 14:50angle?
  355. 14:52He shook his head gently with an
  356. 14:54enigmatic half-smile on his lips.
  357. 14:57No, son.
  358. 14:58Today you learned that truth and the law
  359. 15:01rarely walk hand in hand.
  360. 15:04After those words, Dad started the
  361. 15:06engine.
  362. 15:08Through the side mirror, I could see
  363. 15:10them putting the defendant into the
  364. 15:12vehicle.
  365. 15:13He was no longer wearing handcuffs on
  366. 15:16his wrists.
  367. 15:17Then I noticed something else while
  368. 15:19watching him being escorted by the
  369. 15:21agents guarding him.
  370. 15:25He wasn't heading toward the
  371. 15:27funeral-looking black van, but toward a
  372. 15:29white ambulance parked in the emergency
  373. 15:32lane.
  374. 15:33He also wasn't wearing the orange
  375. 15:35jumpsuit of common inmates.
  376. 15:38And that look of bewilderment that hid
  377. 15:41his fear at the beginning had vanished,
  378. 15:44now revealing an imperturbable smile on
  379. 15:46his face.
  380. 15:49That left a knot in the pit of my
  381. 15:51stomach.
  382. 15:53That wasn't the grimace of a disoriented
  383. 15:55mental patient; it was the expression of
  384. 15:57someone who had just beaten fate in a
  385. 15:59game of chess in the filthiest way
  386. 16:01possible.
  387. 16:03He seems too calm to be heading to a
  388. 16:05psychiatric ward.
  389. 16:07I murmured, without taking my eyes off
  390. 16:09the mirror.
  391. 16:10Dad observed the ambulance for a moment
  392. 16:13before shifting into first gear.
  393. 16:15It’s logical. He let out calmly.
  394. 16:18Why?
  395. 16:20I asked, watching him tap his fingers
  396. 16:22rhythmically while holding the black
  397. 16:24leather steering wheel.
  398. 16:26Why does he think he’s won the game?
  399. 16:30Those words were quite precise, too much
  400. 16:32so to leave me with anything to say.
  401. 16:37The ambulance pulled away, escorted by a
  402. 16:39patrol car with its lights off, making
  403. 16:41its way out of the metropolis.
  404. 16:45Dad pressed the accelerator gently, but
  405. 16:48steadily, setting us in motion.
  406. 16:52However, once we were outside, the route
  407. 16:55he took deviated completely from the way
  408. 16:57back home.
  409. 16:59Where are we going?
  410. 17:01I asked, brow furrowed and bewildered.
  411. 17:04He only kept his eyes fixed on the
  412. 17:06asphalt, damp from this morning's rain.
  413. 17:09There is a place you need to know about
  414. 17:11.
  415. 17:12He replied curtly, leaving me in silence
  416. 17:14.
  417. 17:15I learned at an early age that my father
  418. 17:18had a specific tone for when he had to
  419. 17:21state something final, and that was the
  420. 17:24tone he used now.
  421. 17:27We drove for almost an hour, leaving
  422. 17:30behind the skyscrapers and gray clouds
  423. 17:33of the city, moving away from the houses
  424. 17:36, the malls, and finally, the last
  425. 17:39traces of urbanization.
  426. 17:43The landscape withered into a dark mass
  427. 17:46of pines and fog.
  428. 17:48The sun was sinking into the horizon,
  429. 17:51staining the sky a purple and reddish
  430. 17:53hue. It left a strange feeling to watch
  431. 17:56it.
  432. 17:57Then, in the distance, I could see the
  433. 18:00lights of an ambulance.
  434. 18:03Are we headed to the same destination?
  435. 18:06I murmured, almost without realizing it
  436. 18:08.
  437. 18:09Yes.
  438. 18:10Dad answered simply, but firmly.
  439. 18:14We watched those vehicles leave the main
  440. 18:17highway, following them closely behind
  441. 18:20along a side road.
  442. 18:22A dirt and gravel path flanked by a
  443. 18:25forest so thick it seemed to swallow
  444. 18:27what little natural light remained.
  445. 18:31I had never stepped foot in this part of
  446. 18:33the region.
  447. 18:34However, the way Dad maneuvered the
  448. 18:37steering wheel suggested he knew every
  449. 18:39stone and pothole in this place by heart
  450. 18:42.
  451. 18:44Minutes later, through the gloom of the
  452. 18:46trees in the distance, an imposing
  453. 18:48structure appeared.
  454. 18:50An ancient stone wall crowned by a heavy
  455. 18:54wrought-iron gate.
  456. 18:58There were no signs with the
  457. 18:59institution's name, let alone any sign
  458. 19:01of welcome.
  459. 19:03I could barely make out a silver plaque
  460. 19:06embedded in the wall.
  461. 19:08Sangsbro Psychiatric Institute.
  462. 19:12I saw the ambulance stop in front of the
  463. 19:14metal gate.
  464. 19:15Then the rear doors opened, and we saw
  465. 19:18the accused step down onto the pavement
  466. 19:21.
  467. 19:23He looked around calmly under the light
  468. 19:25of a streetlamp that was starting to
  469. 19:26flicker on with the arrival of night.
  470. 19:30The building behind those gates rose
  471. 19:32before his eyes with a stately, almost
  472. 19:35Victorian, architecture.
  473. 19:38Neat, expansive gardens and tall windows
  474. 19:41.
  475. 19:43It looked more like a private estate or
  476. 19:45a high-society retreat than a judicial
  477. 19:47asylum.
  478. 19:50The accused man, named Félix Curso,
  479. 19:53exhaled deeply.
  480. 19:55He seemed relieved, relaxed, and calm.
  481. 19:58Any sign of who he was at the trial had
  482. 20:01completely disappeared.
  483. 20:03It was then that my father parked the
  484. 20:06car, calmly opening the door and
  485. 20:08stepping out.
  486. 20:10Only at that moment did I become aware
  487. 20:12of the hundreds of blackbirds hidden in
  488. 20:15the trees and on the wall.
  489. 20:18Dad walked with the same bearing he had
  490. 20:20shown when stepping onto the stand hours
  491. 20:22earlier.
  492. 20:24Felix, the defendant, recognized him
  493. 20:26immediately upon seeing him amidst the
  494. 20:28night that was beginning to fall upon
  495. 20:29him.
  496. 20:31>> Mr. Briggs.
  497. 20:32>> He exclaimed with relief, taking a step
  498. 20:34forward.
  499. 20:36Dad headed in his direction at a slow
  500. 20:38pace until he was a few meters away from
  501. 20:40him.
  502. 20:41Stopping, and with total deliberation,
  503. 20:44he adjusted the black leather gloves he
  504. 20:47wore on his hands.
  505. 20:50Then he looked up at Felix and spoke
  506. 20:52with a tone that seemed like the
  507. 20:54sharpest blade, cutting through even the
  508. 20:56air between them.
  509. 20:58>> The state's justice is finished for
  510. 21:00today.
  511. 21:02>> He made a brief pause, letting time add
  512. 21:04weight to his words.
  513. 21:07Ours is just beginning.
  514. 21:10Felix's smile vanished suddenly, as if
  515. 21:13he were facing the judge once again.
  516. 21:17Something made him take a step back,
  517. 21:19perhaps out of pure biological instinct
  518. 21:21.
  519. 21:23On his face, you could see his mind was
  520. 21:25still trying to process the echo of
  521. 21:27those words, refusing to accept what his
  522. 21:30gut was already warning him of with
  523. 21:32cramps.
  524. 21:34>> What do you mean by that?
  525. 21:36>> He blurted out. Dad remained silent with
  526. 21:39the coldest and emptiest expression I
  527. 21:42had ever seen on his face.
  528. 21:45Beside him, the iron gate began to open
  529. 21:47inward.
  530. 21:51And inside, a person in a black robe
  531. 21:53with a wide-brimmed black hat and dark
  532. 21:56leather gloves waited for him.
  533. 21:59The most somber thing about that person
  534. 22:02, however, was his calm and that mask in
  535. 22:04the shape of a yellow-orange beak.
  536. 22:07Even for me, sitting inside the car, it
  537. 22:10caused a feeling of cold dread.
  538. 22:15That figure looked at Dad, who was now
  539. 22:17holding his golden seal with the
  540. 22:19blackbird between his hands, extending
  541. 22:21it toward him as if showing it meant
  542. 22:23something.
  543. 22:26The figure bowed politely in an
  544. 22:28acknowledgment, and my father returned
  545. 22:30the gesture with seriousness.
  546. 22:33>> Everything is ready, sir.
  547. 22:36>> That person uttered with a deep voice
  548. 22:38from beneath that mask, which, though
  549. 22:40unknown, felt familiar to me.
  550. 22:44Dad simply nodded as if this were
  551. 22:47something he was used to, as if he had
  552. 22:49done it several times before.
  553. 22:53Felix alternated his gaze between my
  554. 22:55father and the figure in black with a
  555. 22:57panic that became more evident with
  556. 22:59every second.
  557. 23:01>> Wait, there must be a protocol error
  558. 23:05here. I
  559. 23:06>> He tried to say before the figure
  560. 23:08responded.
  561. 23:10>> We never make mistakes.
  562. 23:14>> It was then, upon looking back at that
  563. 23:16place, that I noticed the white
  564. 23:19ambulance was now dark and the cross on
  565. 23:21it was gold.
  566. 23:24Dad stepped a little closer to Felix
  567. 23:26before saying to him in a neutral tone.
  568. 23:29>> Listen to me carefully, throughout the
  569. 23:31entire trial you didn't stop smiling
  570. 23:33inside.
  571. 23:36You thought you had mocked the laws of
  572. 23:38men, and you were right, you mocked them
  573. 23:40completely.
  574. 23:43>> Felix could only breathe with difficulty
  575. 23:45at the situation, unable to speak, with
  576. 23:47sweat dripping down his forehead.
  577. 23:50>> But you made one mistake.
  578. 23:52>> Which one?
  579. 23:53>> He managed to articulate with a broken
  580. 23:55voice.
  581. 23:56Dad looked him in the eyes without any
  582. 23:58kind of emotion or feeling other than
  583. 24:01the void itself.
  584. 24:02Trying to deceive the truth.
  585. 24:06And with those words, an absolute
  586. 24:08silence fell, interrupted only by the
  587. 24:10sound of tree branches swaying in the
  588. 24:13soft evening breeze.
  589. 24:17Dad turned around without adding a
  590. 24:19single word and walked straight toward
  591. 24:22me at the car.
  592. 24:24Behind him, the sentenced man contorted
  593. 24:27his face in an expression of desperation
  594. 24:29and hatred, shouting.
  595. 24:32>> Britz, you promised to get me out of
  596. 24:34this hell.
  597. 24:36>> My father just stopped for an instant to
  598. 24:38reply without turning or raising his
  599. 24:40voice.
  600. 24:41And I kept my word exactly.
  601. 24:44Either you are out of the prison.
  602. 24:46Believe me, hell is not as cold as this
  603. 24:49place.
  604. 24:51Then he continued walking toward the
  605. 24:53vehicle.
  606. 24:55At that very instant, that man tried to
  607. 24:58run into the depths of the forest,
  608. 25:00watching at the same time as he entered
  609. 25:03how what I thought were leaves on the
  610. 25:05tree branches all moved in unison toward
  611. 25:08the inside of it.
  612. 25:11Then I heard the man scream in horror
  613. 25:14before seeing him run on his own toward
  614. 25:16the direction of that black figure
  615. 25:18behind the fence.
  616. 25:22The strange thing was that for a moment
  617. 25:24I could see something inside the forest
  618. 25:27, something large and dark moving slowly
  619. 25:30toward the enclosure before the trees
  620. 25:32were covered again by blackbirds, which
  621. 25:35at first had seemed like leaves to me.
  622. 25:40The dark figure held Felix by the
  623. 25:42shoulders as if its hands were heavy
  624. 25:44pincers impossible to escape.
  625. 25:48At the same time, Felix screamed, not
  626. 25:50knowing whether to look at the forest or
  627. 25:51at the place where they were now
  628. 25:53dragging him.
  629. 25:56Until he finally disappeared inside,
  630. 25:58watching then as the gate closed with a
  631. 26:01sound that, more than metal clashing
  632. 26:03against metal, seemed like the
  633. 26:05announcement of a sentence that no human
  634. 26:07being should ever hear.
  635. 26:14I then understood the truth about that
  636. 26:17place, its purpose and existence.
  637. 26:20It wasn't to keep the monsters inside it
  638. 26:23, but so that nothing in the outside
  639. 26:25world could interrupt what happened
  640. 26:27within.
  641. 26:29Now, only the sound of my father's
  642. 26:31approaching footsteps remained, along
  643. 26:34with the nature around us on this dark
  644. 26:36night that had settled in so
  645. 26:38prophetically.
  646. 26:41Dad stopped in front of the car door
  647. 26:43before checking his jacket's inner
  648. 26:45pocket and pulling out something I
  649. 26:47couldn't see until he was inside the
  650. 26:49vehicle.
  651. 26:51His golden signet of a blackbird.
  652. 26:54He placed it in my hands, looking me in
  653. 26:56the eyes with a seriousness and weight
  654. 26:58that seemed to tire his shoulders.
  655. 27:02I held it, feeling it weigh more than I
  656. 27:05had imagined during all those years I
  657. 27:07had seen him carry it with him to every
  658. 27:10case.
  659. 27:12Keep it safe, keep it with you, and
  660. 27:14never give it to anyone.
  661. 27:17He clarified with a grave seriousness in
  662. 27:19his voice.
  663. 27:20What is this supposed to be?
  664. 27:22I asked with as much fear as curiosity.
  665. 27:26Dad remained silent, starting the car
  666. 27:28before adjusting the rearview mirror and
  667. 27:30beginning to drive.
  668. 27:32Only then did he speak again and break
  669. 27:34the silence.
  670. 27:36It is a responsibility, a legacy, and a
  671. 27:39duty.
  672. 27:40And you will understand all of that even
  673. 27:43more as you get older.
  674. 27:45At that moment, I remembered a night
  675. 27:48years ago, a year before I saw Grandpa
  676. 27:51for the last time.
  677. 27:55That day, just like now, Dad and Grandpa
  678. 27:58had to attend court for the trial of a
  679. 28:00man accused of wiping out an entire
  680. 28:03family in the worst possible way.
  681. 28:08That cold night, I saw Dad get out of
  682. 28:10the car with that same signet and never
  683. 28:13let go of it since.
  684. 28:16When Grandpa saw me on the other side of
  685. 28:18the door, after they both got out of the
  686. 28:20car, he smiled at me before picking me
  687. 28:22up in his arms and ruffling my hair
  688. 28:24affectionately.
  689. 28:26I remember his voice then, but not his
  690. 28:29words.
  691. 28:30And for some reason, his voice reminded
  692. 28:33me of that dark one from before.
  693. 28:37I watched my dad drive with absolute
  694. 28:39calm through the shadows of this night,
  695. 28:41remembering the man inside the tribunal
  696. 28:43hours ago and understanding something
  697. 28:45that can only be understood if you live
  698. 28:48it firsthand.
  699. 28:51Outside the court, outside the judgment
  700. 28:54of those shouting guilty or innocent,
  701. 28:56outside all that paraphernalia of
  702. 28:59television, radio, and all means of
  703. 29:01communication, true justice acted far
  704. 29:04from people and their prejudices, where
  705. 29:07the truth acted like a guillotine
  706. 29:10falling upon the guilty, and for that to
  707. 29:13happen, people like my father existed.
  708. 29:18He wasn't just a lawyer who stood out
  709. 29:20for doing the nearly impossible inside
  710. 29:21the courtroom; he was more than that.
  711. 29:25Now, seeing the city lights appear in
  712. 29:28the distance was like watching the world
  713. 29:31keep spinning in its blissful ignorance
  714. 29:34, unaware that the monsters were within
  715. 29:37four walls being consumed by their own
  716. 29:40sins.
  717. 29:48My beautiful people, I hope you enjoyed
  718. 29:50this story.
  719. 29:52At first, I wanted to call it "The
  720. 29:55Blackbird Man" or, well, something
  721. 29:58similar.
  722. 29:59In the end, it kept the name it has.
  723. 30:02My people, this story is rather special
  724. 30:06because it was gifted to me by a
  725. 30:08subscriber, or, actually, a subscriber
  726. 30:12named Kyle.
  727. 30:14She sent me the story and told me I
  728. 30:16could make modifications, that I could
  729. 30:18do whatever I wanted with it.
  730. 30:21I ended up editing it quite a bit,
  731. 30:24adding it to my universe of stories and
  732. 30:27putting a lot of my own work into it so
  733. 30:31it fits into this whole universe I am
  734. 30:34creating.
  735. 30:35I truly hope that both you and the
  736. 30:38person who gave me their work liked the
  737. 30:42final product.
  738. 30:44Well, I don't like saying "product," but
  739. 30:46rather the final work.
  740. 30:48So let me know in the comments what you
  741. 30:51thought, if you really liked it, if you
  742. 30:53saw any point that resonated with you,
  743. 30:55or anything else you can tell me.
  744. 30:59Everything helps.
  745. 31:01You know that here, any little thing
  746. 31:03that can be improved will be improved if
  747. 31:06I notice it and you also help me by
  748. 31:09pointing it out.
  749. 31:11So thank you always for letting me know
  750. 31:14those details.
  751. 31:16Thanks also to the channel members for
  752. 31:18being there supporting me and helping me
  753. 31:20month after month.
  754. 31:23My beautiful people, with nothing more
  755. 31:26to say, the black knight who wears the
  756. 31:28smoke mask says goodbye.
