- 0:00How's it going, my beautiful people? I
- 0:02hope you enjoy this next story.
- 0:08Since I was little, I often heard my
- 0:10father say one thing.
- 0:13The courtroom does not exist to seek
- 0:15justice within it.
- 0:17The truth is that justice depends on who
- 0:19can prove their truth and who truly
- 0:22convinces the court.
- 0:25However, there is a giant abyss between
- 0:27the two.
- 0:30I grew up hearing him say that phrase so
- 0:32often that I started to feel it as part
- 0:34of our lives.
- 0:36A thought that became solid over time,
- 0:38imposing itself on every aspect of my
- 0:41life.
- 0:43Perhaps the same thing happened to him
- 0:45when he heard it from his father.
- 0:48In my family, certain ideas were not
- 0:50discussed like in the vast majority of
- 0:52other families.
- 0:54Those thoughts and ideologies were
- 0:57inherited just like a surname or a name
- 1:00.
- 1:02My great-grandfather taught it to my
- 1:04grandfather, my grandfather to my father
- 1:07, and someday my father would teach it
- 1:09to me in some absolute way.
- 1:12Because for ideas to endure, they must
- 1:16be solid.
- 1:19That Tuesday, walking in my father's
- 1:22shadow in the main hallway, I understood
- 1:24that that day had arrived.
- 1:29The courtroom was packed; there wasn't
- 1:31room for a soul between the people and
- 1:33the press.
- 1:35This case had been hogging the headlines
- 1:38, news, and radio broadcasts for weeks.
- 1:42In a quick representation, the people
- 1:44would be a lion that hasn't been fed in
- 1:47months, which in this case would be the
- 1:50accused.
- 1:52The city was outraged.
- 1:55Outside these walls, dozens of people
- 1:58held signs demanding the maximum
- 2:01sentence, some even the death penalty.
- 2:06In here, the atmosphere was different
- 2:08and suffocating, barely habitable.
- 2:13Those who wanted to scream in hatred
- 2:16remained silent and contained by respect
- 2:19for the very system that brought them
- 2:22and their target here, becoming mute
- 2:24beings.
- 2:28Those who spoke for them wore suits and
- 2:30carried neat hairstyles and briefcases
- 2:32full of papers as their calling card.
- 2:36These people spoke in whispers and
- 2:38waited patiently for the legal machinery
- 2:41to do its job.
- 2:43In a tug-of-war between those who said
- 2:46guilty and the one who said innocent.
- 2:51I was there in the middle of it all,
- 2:53occupying a hard wooden seat behind the
- 2:56defense table, still in my father's
- 2:58shadow, right behind his back.
- 3:03This was the first time he allowed me to
- 3:05accompany him to a trial, and even more
- 3:07so one of this caliber.
- 3:10It was just a few seconds ago that we
- 3:13were in the hallway.
- 3:15Before we walked in here, he directed
- 3:17some final words to me.
- 3:20Pay attention, he who does not guard his
- 3:22words only wants to hide the truth
- 3:25through his own fears, and that is even
- 3:27more evident in a lawyer.
- 3:30He murmured before crossing the swinging
- 3:33doors.
- 3:38After that, I took my seat, watching him
- 3:41enter the room with calm and confidence
- 3:43before he stopped speaking to me
- 3:45altogether.
- 3:47His serenity imposed itself in silence
- 3:49without the need to raise his voice.
- 3:53He greeted the judge with a slight nod,
- 3:56then I watched him walk to his seat,
- 3:58facing me as he organized his folders on
- 4:01the table, revealing the golden
- 4:03blackbird seal he always carried on his
- 4:06briefcase.
- 4:09He sat in his place without looking at
- 4:12the defendant or glancing toward the
- 4:14area where the victims 'parents and
- 4:16relatives were, and he completely
- 4:19ignored the television cameras capturing
- 4:21everything from the back.
- 4:24He simply remained silent, and in doing
- 4:26so, he reminded me of another one of his
- 4:28lessons from my childhood.
- 4:30Whoever controls their emotions can
- 4:32control what happens around them.
- 4:36The defendant, a man of perhaps 55 who
- 4:39looked like he could have been any
- 4:41school's literature teacher with a
- 4:44mustache, remained motionless in a metal
- 4:47chair at the center of it all.
- 4:51Next to him, two guards watched him,
- 4:53making sure the handcuffs holding him
- 4:56kept him in place.
- 4:59Despite the situation and the
- 5:01fluorescent light above his head, he
- 5:03didn't seem terrified, but he also
- 5:05didn't overflow with the false
- 5:06confidence of someone who was
- 5:08self-assured.
- 5:11He was just there in his orange inmate
- 5:13clothing.
- 5:16A second later, when everything went
- 5:18quiet under the judge’s gavel, the
- 5:20prosecutor began to speak, presenting as
- 5:23if he had a sword on his tongue, eager
- 5:25in every word.
- 5:29For nearly an hour, he deployed an
- 5:31arsenal of evidence, recordings,
- 5:33testimonies, and forensic reports.
- 5:36Each of his arguments seemed like a key
- 5:39closing a different exit, leaving him in
- 5:42a hallway of no return.
- 5:45When he finally went silent, even I was
- 5:47convinced by every one of his words,
- 5:50which seemed like an unbreakable wall.
- 5:53He turned his face toward my father, and
- 5:56he was still taking notes almost as if
- 5:59he were in his office and not in the
- 6:01middle of all this.
- 6:03There was nothing about him that seemed
- 6:06to faze him.
- 6:07When the judge granted him the floor,
- 6:10Dad closed his folder gently, stood up,
- 6:13and smiled slightly.
- 6:17I knew that expression; it wasn't a
- 6:19smile of satisfaction, it was the same
- 6:21smile he used when we played chess and
- 6:23he was about to beat me.
- 6:27Perhaps the calculating gesture of a man
- 6:29who had just found a crack in that
- 6:31concrete wall everyone assumed was
- 6:33indestructible.
- 6:36The magistrate adjusted his glasses,
- 6:38looking down at us before speaking.
- 6:41>> The defense has the floor.
- 6:44>> Dad just stood by his chair, resting his
- 6:47open hands on the table.
- 6:50Your Honor, his deep voice swept across
- 6:52every corner of the courtroom.
- 6:55The Prosecution has done an exceptional
- 6:58job.
- 6:59Those words paved the way for a murmur
- 7:01that traveled through the press gallery
- 7:04.
- 7:05The prosecutor frowned, clearly
- 7:07unsettled by the situation.
- 7:10It was not something one would say when
- 7:13defending a defendant, much less what
- 7:15was coming next.
- 7:17The evidence is overwhelming, the
- 7:19testimonies coherent, and the expert
- 7:22reports show no relevant contradictions
- 7:25.
- 7:26The truth is that I will not attempt to
- 7:29convince this court that my client is
- 7:31innocent, because he is not.
- 7:36I felt dozens of hostile stares
- 7:38instantly fixed in our direction before
- 7:41I held my breath and looked up at him.
- 7:45I did not understand what was happening
- 7:47.
- 7:47This was our first case together, and I
- 7:50never imagined hearing such a premature
- 7:53surrender as that.
- 7:56Even the defendant slowly turned his
- 7:58head to look at him in disbelief, as if
- 8:01he had thrown him into a den of lions,
- 8:03losing all his composure with a bead of
- 8:06cold sweat on his forehead.
- 8:09However, Dad continued imperturbably.
- 8:13My client committed atrocious acts, the
- 8:16dismemberment and rape of two girls,
- 8:19ages eight and 13.
- 8:21I saw how the mother of one of the
- 8:24victims broke into three heartbreaking
- 8:26sobs.
- 8:28At the same time, the prosecutor in the
- 8:30distance could not suppress a cynical
- 8:31smile, surely feeling that everything
- 8:33was moving in the right direction.
- 8:37Dad fell silent for a moment, one that
- 8:40was so abrupt it even felt uncomfortable
- 8:42.
- 8:44And only once everyone seemed to be
- 8:46waiting for him, he continued.
- 8:48However, that is not the question this
- 8:51court must answer today.
- 8:54He cleared his throat, causing the
- 8:56prosecutor's smile to vanish instantly.
- 8:59The issue is not whether he committed
- 9:01the crime; the real question is whether
- 9:03, at the precise moment of executing it
- 9:05, he possessed the mental capacity to
- 9:07understand the nature of his acts and
- 9:09act in accordance with that
- 9:11understanding.
- 9:13As soon as my father said that, the
- 9:16murmurs swallowed any hint of silence
- 9:18and calm.
- 9:20It was then that he slid his fingers
- 9:22toward one of the folders in his
- 9:24briefcase.
- 9:27It was so thin that it seemed ridiculous
- 9:29for there to be anything inside, but
- 9:31there were three sheets that looked
- 9:34insignificant compared to the
- 9:35Prosecution's monumental file.
- 9:39He took his time picking up the papers
- 9:42and spoke.
- 9:44Exactly nine years ago, my client was
- 9:47diagnosed with a severe psychiatric
- 9:50disorder, a medical history that,
- 9:52curiously, was conveniently ignored
- 9:54throughout the investigation of this
- 9:57trial.
- 9:59I saw the prosecutor straighten up in
- 10:01his place as soon as my father said that
- 10:03.
- 10:04>> Objection, Your Honor. It is untimely
- 10:06and out of form.
- 10:08>> He argued.
- 10:09>> Denied.
- 10:11>> He replied without taking his eyes off
- 10:13the reports that the court clerk had
- 10:15just placed in front of him.
- 10:19Over the next few minutes, Dad simply
- 10:21assembled a legal doubt so solid and
- 10:24relentless that the only certainty
- 10:26everyone believed they possessed upon
- 10:29entering those doors began to crumble
- 10:31bit by bit.
- 10:35I looked around, noticing that the
- 10:37journalists had stilled their fingers on
- 10:39their phone screens.
- 10:42At the same time, the prosecutor
- 10:43reviewed all his notes and evidence with
- 10:46an expression of absolute hatred.
- 10:49In that moment, I understood something
- 10:51raw and cold.
- 10:53My father wasn't facing the people in
- 10:55this court, but rather the raw reality
- 10:58that faltered before whoever could
- 11:00expose it with the best words.
- 11:043 hours later, now under the gaze of the
- 11:07blackbirds gathering above the skylight
- 11:10in the middle of the ceiling, the court
- 11:13reconvened.
- 11:15Everyone in the room stood up in silence
- 11:18, listening to the judge’s gavel and an
- 11:20intrusive whisper we didn't know the
- 11:22source of.
- 11:25>> After assessing the elements provided
- 11:27and the supplementary expert reports,
- 11:30>> the judge read in a monotonous voice.
- 11:33>> This court determines that the accused
- 11:35will not be sent to a common
- 11:36penitentiary.
- 11:39Instead, he shall be transferred
- 11:41immediately to a maximum-security
- 11:43psychiatric hospital to receive
- 11:45specialized treatment under the State's
- 11:47permanent custody and supervision.
- 11:51>> For a few seconds, it seemed as if the
- 11:54world had fallen silent, but then it was
- 11:57as if the gates of hell had opened among
- 11:59us.
- 12:02>> You scum, that monster ended my baby's
- 12:04life and you helped him get away with it
- 12:06.
- 12:08>> One of the victims' mothers screamed
- 12:10with guttural sounds that could curdle
- 12:12anyone's blood.
- 12:14The other mother joined her with curses
- 12:17that I could never repeat in my life, at
- 12:19least not with the same feeling.
- 12:23A photographer dropped his equipment to
- 12:25the floor, stunned by the commotion of
- 12:27the moment.
- 12:29At the same time, two security agents
- 12:31lunged to restrain one of the fathers
- 12:33who tried to jump over the wooden
- 12:35barrier that separated him from the
- 12:37accused.
- 12:39Faced with such a scene, the prosecutor
- 12:41closed his eyes with a grimace of
- 12:43absolute defeat, letting himself sink
- 12:45into his seat.
- 12:47The whole place began to turn into chaos
- 12:50amidst a tide of screams and frustration
- 12:52.
- 12:55Even so, all my father did was take his
- 12:57golden seal from his briefcase and put
- 13:00it in his left pants pocket before
- 13:02turning around and telling me, let's go
- 13:05.
- 13:08Before we started walking out of the
- 13:10room, I followed him, walking by his
- 13:13side, crossing every door with him,
- 13:16heading outside where the reporters
- 13:18waited for us like a pack of hungry dogs
- 13:21waiting for a piece of food or some
- 13:23scraps.
- 13:25>> Mr. Briggs, any statement?
- 13:28>> How can you sleep at night knowing who
- 13:30you defend?
- 13:32>> They shouted, but my father didn't even
- 13:35flinch at their demands; he just kept
- 13:37walking in silence, maintaining the same
- 13:40expression he had when the trial began.
- 13:44That was despite the barrage of camera
- 13:46flashes and insults.
- 13:48I, on the other hand, lowered my head
- 13:50and tried to shrink, looking for a way
- 13:52to become invisible in the mob.
- 13:55Unlike me, Dad stood firm with his head
- 13:58held high.
- 14:01For as long as I can remember, I've
- 14:03understood that a lawyer who loses is
- 14:05just a lawyer who lost a case.
- 14:09But one who wins is nothing more than
- 14:11the target of hateful stares and
- 14:13judgments from those on the other side.
- 14:18When we reached our vehicle in the
- 14:19underground parking lot, we could see in
- 14:21the distance the defendant being led
- 14:23toward the prison transport.
- 14:27Dad rested a hand on the door frame of
- 14:29his black Torino before getting in,
- 14:31looking straight at me without taking
- 14:33his eyes off mine.
- 14:35What did you learn today?
- 14:36His question took me by surprise,
- 14:39forcing me to organize my thoughts
- 14:41before I dared to articulate an answer.
- 14:45That even the most solid evidence can
- 14:47fall apart if attacked from the right
- 14:50angle?
- 14:52He shook his head gently with an
- 14:54enigmatic half-smile on his lips.
- 14:57No, son.
- 14:58Today you learned that truth and the law
- 15:01rarely walk hand in hand.
- 15:04After those words, Dad started the
- 15:06engine.
- 15:08Through the side mirror, I could see
- 15:10them putting the defendant into the
- 15:12vehicle.
- 15:13He was no longer wearing handcuffs on
- 15:16his wrists.
- 15:17Then I noticed something else while
- 15:19watching him being escorted by the
- 15:21agents guarding him.
- 15:25He wasn't heading toward the
- 15:27funeral-looking black van, but toward a
- 15:29white ambulance parked in the emergency
- 15:32lane.
- 15:33He also wasn't wearing the orange
- 15:35jumpsuit of common inmates.
- 15:38And that look of bewilderment that hid
- 15:41his fear at the beginning had vanished,
- 15:44now revealing an imperturbable smile on
- 15:46his face.
- 15:49That left a knot in the pit of my
- 15:51stomach.
- 15:53That wasn't the grimace of a disoriented
- 15:55mental patient; it was the expression of
- 15:57someone who had just beaten fate in a
- 15:59game of chess in the filthiest way
- 16:01possible.
- 16:03He seems too calm to be heading to a
- 16:05psychiatric ward.
- 16:07I murmured, without taking my eyes off
- 16:09the mirror.
- 16:10Dad observed the ambulance for a moment
- 16:13before shifting into first gear.
- 16:15It’s logical. He let out calmly.
- 16:18Why?
- 16:20I asked, watching him tap his fingers
- 16:22rhythmically while holding the black
- 16:24leather steering wheel.
- 16:26Why does he think he’s won the game?
- 16:30Those words were quite precise, too much
- 16:32so to leave me with anything to say.
- 16:37The ambulance pulled away, escorted by a
- 16:39patrol car with its lights off, making
- 16:41its way out of the metropolis.
- 16:45Dad pressed the accelerator gently, but
- 16:48steadily, setting us in motion.
- 16:52However, once we were outside, the route
- 16:55he took deviated completely from the way
- 16:57back home.
- 16:59Where are we going?
- 17:01I asked, brow furrowed and bewildered.
- 17:04He only kept his eyes fixed on the
- 17:06asphalt, damp from this morning's rain.
- 17:09There is a place you need to know about
- 17:11.
- 17:12He replied curtly, leaving me in silence
- 17:14.
- 17:15I learned at an early age that my father
- 17:18had a specific tone for when he had to
- 17:21state something final, and that was the
- 17:24tone he used now.
- 17:27We drove for almost an hour, leaving
- 17:30behind the skyscrapers and gray clouds
- 17:33of the city, moving away from the houses
- 17:36, the malls, and finally, the last
- 17:39traces of urbanization.
- 17:43The landscape withered into a dark mass
- 17:46of pines and fog.
- 17:48The sun was sinking into the horizon,
- 17:51staining the sky a purple and reddish
- 17:53hue. It left a strange feeling to watch
- 17:56it.
- 17:57Then, in the distance, I could see the
- 18:00lights of an ambulance.
- 18:03Are we headed to the same destination?
- 18:06I murmured, almost without realizing it
- 18:08.
- 18:09Yes.
- 18:10Dad answered simply, but firmly.
- 18:14We watched those vehicles leave the main
- 18:17highway, following them closely behind
- 18:20along a side road.
- 18:22A dirt and gravel path flanked by a
- 18:25forest so thick it seemed to swallow
- 18:27what little natural light remained.
- 18:31I had never stepped foot in this part of
- 18:33the region.
- 18:34However, the way Dad maneuvered the
- 18:37steering wheel suggested he knew every
- 18:39stone and pothole in this place by heart
- 18:42.
- 18:44Minutes later, through the gloom of the
- 18:46trees in the distance, an imposing
- 18:48structure appeared.
- 18:50An ancient stone wall crowned by a heavy
- 18:54wrought-iron gate.
- 18:58There were no signs with the
- 18:59institution's name, let alone any sign
- 19:01of welcome.
- 19:03I could barely make out a silver plaque
- 19:06embedded in the wall.
- 19:08Sangsbro Psychiatric Institute.
- 19:12I saw the ambulance stop in front of the
- 19:14metal gate.
- 19:15Then the rear doors opened, and we saw
- 19:18the accused step down onto the pavement
- 19:21.
- 19:23He looked around calmly under the light
- 19:25of a streetlamp that was starting to
- 19:26flicker on with the arrival of night.
- 19:30The building behind those gates rose
- 19:32before his eyes with a stately, almost
- 19:35Victorian, architecture.
- 19:38Neat, expansive gardens and tall windows
- 19:41.
- 19:43It looked more like a private estate or
- 19:45a high-society retreat than a judicial
- 19:47asylum.
- 19:50The accused man, named Félix Curso,
- 19:53exhaled deeply.
- 19:55He seemed relieved, relaxed, and calm.
- 19:58Any sign of who he was at the trial had
- 20:01completely disappeared.
- 20:03It was then that my father parked the
- 20:06car, calmly opening the door and
- 20:08stepping out.
- 20:10Only at that moment did I become aware
- 20:12of the hundreds of blackbirds hidden in
- 20:15the trees and on the wall.
- 20:18Dad walked with the same bearing he had
- 20:20shown when stepping onto the stand hours
- 20:22earlier.
- 20:24Felix, the defendant, recognized him
- 20:26immediately upon seeing him amidst the
- 20:28night that was beginning to fall upon
- 20:29him.
- 20:31>> Mr. Briggs.
- 20:32>> He exclaimed with relief, taking a step
- 20:34forward.
- 20:36Dad headed in his direction at a slow
- 20:38pace until he was a few meters away from
- 20:40him.
- 20:41Stopping, and with total deliberation,
- 20:44he adjusted the black leather gloves he
- 20:47wore on his hands.
- 20:50Then he looked up at Felix and spoke
- 20:52with a tone that seemed like the
- 20:54sharpest blade, cutting through even the
- 20:56air between them.
- 20:58>> The state's justice is finished for
- 21:00today.
- 21:02>> He made a brief pause, letting time add
- 21:04weight to his words.
- 21:07Ours is just beginning.
- 21:10Felix's smile vanished suddenly, as if
- 21:13he were facing the judge once again.
- 21:17Something made him take a step back,
- 21:19perhaps out of pure biological instinct
- 21:21.
- 21:23On his face, you could see his mind was
- 21:25still trying to process the echo of
- 21:27those words, refusing to accept what his
- 21:30gut was already warning him of with
- 21:32cramps.
- 21:34>> What do you mean by that?
- 21:36>> He blurted out. Dad remained silent with
- 21:39the coldest and emptiest expression I
- 21:42had ever seen on his face.
- 21:45Beside him, the iron gate began to open
- 21:47inward.
- 21:51And inside, a person in a black robe
- 21:53with a wide-brimmed black hat and dark
- 21:56leather gloves waited for him.
- 21:59The most somber thing about that person
- 22:02, however, was his calm and that mask in
- 22:04the shape of a yellow-orange beak.
- 22:07Even for me, sitting inside the car, it
- 22:10caused a feeling of cold dread.
- 22:15That figure looked at Dad, who was now
- 22:17holding his golden seal with the
- 22:19blackbird between his hands, extending
- 22:21it toward him as if showing it meant
- 22:23something.
- 22:26The figure bowed politely in an
- 22:28acknowledgment, and my father returned
- 22:30the gesture with seriousness.
- 22:33>> Everything is ready, sir.
- 22:36>> That person uttered with a deep voice
- 22:38from beneath that mask, which, though
- 22:40unknown, felt familiar to me.
- 22:44Dad simply nodded as if this were
- 22:47something he was used to, as if he had
- 22:49done it several times before.
- 22:53Felix alternated his gaze between my
- 22:55father and the figure in black with a
- 22:57panic that became more evident with
- 22:59every second.
- 23:01>> Wait, there must be a protocol error
- 23:05here. I
- 23:06>> He tried to say before the figure
- 23:08responded.
- 23:10>> We never make mistakes.
- 23:14>> It was then, upon looking back at that
- 23:16place, that I noticed the white
- 23:19ambulance was now dark and the cross on
- 23:21it was gold.
- 23:24Dad stepped a little closer to Felix
- 23:26before saying to him in a neutral tone.
- 23:29>> Listen to me carefully, throughout the
- 23:31entire trial you didn't stop smiling
- 23:33inside.
- 23:36You thought you had mocked the laws of
- 23:38men, and you were right, you mocked them
- 23:40completely.
- 23:43>> Felix could only breathe with difficulty
- 23:45at the situation, unable to speak, with
- 23:47sweat dripping down his forehead.
- 23:50>> But you made one mistake.
- 23:52>> Which one?
- 23:53>> He managed to articulate with a broken
- 23:55voice.
- 23:56Dad looked him in the eyes without any
- 23:58kind of emotion or feeling other than
- 24:01the void itself.
- 24:02Trying to deceive the truth.
- 24:06And with those words, an absolute
- 24:08silence fell, interrupted only by the
- 24:10sound of tree branches swaying in the
- 24:13soft evening breeze.
- 24:17Dad turned around without adding a
- 24:19single word and walked straight toward
- 24:22me at the car.
- 24:24Behind him, the sentenced man contorted
- 24:27his face in an expression of desperation
- 24:29and hatred, shouting.
- 24:32>> Britz, you promised to get me out of
- 24:34this hell.
- 24:36>> My father just stopped for an instant to
- 24:38reply without turning or raising his
- 24:40voice.
- 24:41And I kept my word exactly.
- 24:44Either you are out of the prison.
- 24:46Believe me, hell is not as cold as this
- 24:49place.
- 24:51Then he continued walking toward the
- 24:53vehicle.
- 24:55At that very instant, that man tried to
- 24:58run into the depths of the forest,
- 25:00watching at the same time as he entered
- 25:03how what I thought were leaves on the
- 25:05tree branches all moved in unison toward
- 25:08the inside of it.
- 25:11Then I heard the man scream in horror
- 25:14before seeing him run on his own toward
- 25:16the direction of that black figure
- 25:18behind the fence.
- 25:22The strange thing was that for a moment
- 25:24I could see something inside the forest
- 25:27, something large and dark moving slowly
- 25:30toward the enclosure before the trees
- 25:32were covered again by blackbirds, which
- 25:35at first had seemed like leaves to me.
- 25:40The dark figure held Felix by the
- 25:42shoulders as if its hands were heavy
- 25:44pincers impossible to escape.
- 25:48At the same time, Felix screamed, not
- 25:50knowing whether to look at the forest or
- 25:51at the place where they were now
- 25:53dragging him.
- 25:56Until he finally disappeared inside,
- 25:58watching then as the gate closed with a
- 26:01sound that, more than metal clashing
- 26:03against metal, seemed like the
- 26:05announcement of a sentence that no human
- 26:07being should ever hear.
- 26:14I then understood the truth about that
- 26:17place, its purpose and existence.
- 26:20It wasn't to keep the monsters inside it
- 26:23, but so that nothing in the outside
- 26:25world could interrupt what happened
- 26:27within.
- 26:29Now, only the sound of my father's
- 26:31approaching footsteps remained, along
- 26:34with the nature around us on this dark
- 26:36night that had settled in so
- 26:38prophetically.
- 26:41Dad stopped in front of the car door
- 26:43before checking his jacket's inner
- 26:45pocket and pulling out something I
- 26:47couldn't see until he was inside the
- 26:49vehicle.
- 26:51His golden signet of a blackbird.
- 26:54He placed it in my hands, looking me in
- 26:56the eyes with a seriousness and weight
- 26:58that seemed to tire his shoulders.
- 27:02I held it, feeling it weigh more than I
- 27:05had imagined during all those years I
- 27:07had seen him carry it with him to every
- 27:10case.
- 27:12Keep it safe, keep it with you, and
- 27:14never give it to anyone.
- 27:17He clarified with a grave seriousness in
- 27:19his voice.
- 27:20What is this supposed to be?
- 27:22I asked with as much fear as curiosity.
- 27:26Dad remained silent, starting the car
- 27:28before adjusting the rearview mirror and
- 27:30beginning to drive.
- 27:32Only then did he speak again and break
- 27:34the silence.
- 27:36It is a responsibility, a legacy, and a
- 27:39duty.
- 27:40And you will understand all of that even
- 27:43more as you get older.
- 27:45At that moment, I remembered a night
- 27:48years ago, a year before I saw Grandpa
- 27:51for the last time.
- 27:55That day, just like now, Dad and Grandpa
- 27:58had to attend court for the trial of a
- 28:00man accused of wiping out an entire
- 28:03family in the worst possible way.
- 28:08That cold night, I saw Dad get out of
- 28:10the car with that same signet and never
- 28:13let go of it since.
- 28:16When Grandpa saw me on the other side of
- 28:18the door, after they both got out of the
- 28:20car, he smiled at me before picking me
- 28:22up in his arms and ruffling my hair
- 28:24affectionately.
- 28:26I remember his voice then, but not his
- 28:29words.
- 28:30And for some reason, his voice reminded
- 28:33me of that dark one from before.
- 28:37I watched my dad drive with absolute
- 28:39calm through the shadows of this night,
- 28:41remembering the man inside the tribunal
- 28:43hours ago and understanding something
- 28:45that can only be understood if you live
- 28:48it firsthand.
- 28:51Outside the court, outside the judgment
- 28:54of those shouting guilty or innocent,
- 28:56outside all that paraphernalia of
- 28:59television, radio, and all means of
- 29:01communication, true justice acted far
- 29:04from people and their prejudices, where
- 29:07the truth acted like a guillotine
- 29:10falling upon the guilty, and for that to
- 29:13happen, people like my father existed.
- 29:18He wasn't just a lawyer who stood out
- 29:20for doing the nearly impossible inside
- 29:21the courtroom; he was more than that.
- 29:25Now, seeing the city lights appear in
- 29:28the distance was like watching the world
- 29:31keep spinning in its blissful ignorance
- 29:34, unaware that the monsters were within
- 29:37four walls being consumed by their own
- 29:40sins.
- 29:48My beautiful people, I hope you enjoyed
- 29:50this story.
- 29:52At first, I wanted to call it "The
- 29:55Blackbird Man" or, well, something
- 29:58similar.
- 29:59In the end, it kept the name it has.
- 30:02My people, this story is rather special
- 30:06because it was gifted to me by a
- 30:08subscriber, or, actually, a subscriber
- 30:12named Kyle.
- 30:14She sent me the story and told me I
- 30:16could make modifications, that I could
- 30:18do whatever I wanted with it.
- 30:21I ended up editing it quite a bit,
- 30:24adding it to my universe of stories and
- 30:27putting a lot of my own work into it so
- 30:31it fits into this whole universe I am
- 30:34creating.
- 30:35I truly hope that both you and the
- 30:38person who gave me their work liked the
- 30:42final product.
- 30:44Well, I don't like saying "product," but
- 30:46rather the final work.
- 30:48So let me know in the comments what you
- 30:51thought, if you really liked it, if you
- 30:53saw any point that resonated with you,
- 30:55or anything else you can tell me.
- 30:59Everything helps.
- 31:01You know that here, any little thing
- 31:03that can be improved will be improved if
- 31:06I notice it and you also help me by
- 31:09pointing it out.
- 31:11So thank you always for letting me know
- 31:14those details.
- 31:16Thanks also to the channel members for
- 31:18being there supporting me and helping me
- 31:20month after month.
- 31:23My beautiful people, with nothing more
- 31:26to say, the black knight who wears the
- 31:28smoke mask says goodbye.
