How much time did she have?


Just before the car crashed, Will told Sylvia to cover her arm, saying that if anyone saw that she'd be dead. But then they were robbed after being knocked unconscious in the car crash, and it sounded like the guy who took her time said she had a decade? That can't be right, though, right? Considering how much her father had, that seems weird. Did I just hear wrong or what?

(Can't rewind cause it's on TV, so)

Her father had a lot of time, but he kept it in a vault, not on his arm. A similar thing may have applied to her. Furthermore, they were in the slums where people survived on a day to day basis; a decade is a real fortune compared to that.

Where do you keep you cash? A bank. He kept his time in a vault and only pulled out when he needed more. People keep their cash in vaults to avoid theft. You wouldn't carry 100K on you but you might carry 10K.

She mentioned that when she turned 25 her father gave her a decade to celebrate. That's why she only has that amount of time on her arm.
