Short filmTranscript
00:00When my brother-in-law, Joseph Paul, died in my bed, everyone believed they knew exactly what
00:05had happened. To atone for my so-called crime, my husband, Gail Austin, divorced me and married my
00:10adopted sister, Carol Brown. The company I built, the shares that bore my name, all handed over by
00:15my brother, Stephen Brown, to Carol, who quickly rose to dazzling stardom. As for me, I was packed
00:21off to a mental institution, a convenient exile to dodge justice. By the time the statute of
00:26limitations expired, I had already become a ghost in their world. They came to pick me up. Gail
00:34carefully draped a coat over my shoulders. Iris, it's over now. I'll always be here for you. But
00:39outside, reporters swarmed her gloss around sugar. Tell us about your time in the clinic, Ms. Brownie.
00:44Ms. Brownie, how could you shamelessly seduce your own brother-in-law and get away with his death?
00:49Isn't it an insult to the victim that you dodge prison with a fake psychiatric diagnosis and spent
00:53your days lounging in a mental heart? I didn't hear them. The endless electroshock therapy in
00:59the mental institution had left me with constant tinnitus. Then it happened. A fan of Carol fell
01:03on a bottle of rancid animal blood straight at me. You witch! Because of you, Carol had no one to
01:08celebrate her birthday. You killed her husband, destroyed her family, and now you're trying to
01:13steal to her last living relative too? Why don't you just drop- I stood frozen as the thick liquid
01:18dripped
01:18down my face? But that wasn't true. Back then, they dislocated my jaw so I couldn't speak in my
01:24own defense. Forged evidence. Painted me as a monster. All to bury the truth, Carol was the real
01:30killer. Slowly, I raised a hand and wiped the blood from my eyes. No tears. No hysterics. Not even a
01:38flicker of reaction. I turned and walked away from the shouting crowd. Iris!
01:43Steven's voice cut through the noise behind me, tight with disbelief. Where are you going?
01:50Where- where are you going? Don't make a scene here, Iris. We're taking you home.
01:54I stopped. Finally, I looked at them. Home? Which one? Steven, didn't you sign over everything I
02:03owned to Carol? What home is left for me? Steven's expression stiffened. I turned to Gail,
02:09whose fingers were still clamped tightly around my hand. I curved my lips into a bitter smile.
02:14Oh, I congratulations on your marriage to Carol. Though honestly, no need to hide it next time.
02:20If you could carry on and fare under my loof, clearly public opinion doesn't trouble you.
02:25Iris! Must you talk to me with this attitude? What kind of attitude is that? After everything
02:31we've done for you, this is how you repay us. As they tugged at me, the same fan barreled forward
02:36again, eyes blazing with hatred. She raised her hand to slap me.
02:42Bitch! How dare you disrespect Steven and Carol's husband? I ought to kill you!
02:48This time, Gail and Steven caught her.
02:51Iris, can't you see you're only making things worse? Why can't you just talk through this?
02:57Seriously?
03:01Making things worse? Let me ask you something. What have I done from the very beginning to now
03:07that warranted any of this? She's a murderer. You protected her, locked me away in a living hell
03:13and wrecked my life. And now you want me to thank you? You're no better than executioners.
03:18Shut up! There was no murder! Carol is a gentle, innocent girl. Don't you dare slander her! You're just jealous.
03:28You envy Joseph's love for her, and that's why you concocted this sick fantasy. Sending you to the
03:32mental ancipation was mercy. It was for treatment, not punishment. The least you can do is be grateful.
03:38Gail sighed.
03:40Iris, please. I know you feel wrong.
03:43Marrying Carol was temporary. She fell into a deep depression after Joseph's death. Being with her
03:50was part of your atonement. Once she's better, we can start over. I promise. And I'll never leave you
03:56again. I swing my hand and strike him across the face with all the force I have. The crack echoed
04:02through the air. Gail's head snapped to the side, a bright red handprint blooming on his cheek.
04:06Iris, have you lost your mind?
04:09Start over? Gail, you truly disgust me. You disgust me! Go live your perfect life with
04:15your dear Carol. A scroundrel and a scheming snake. You're a match made in hell! I won't
04:22keep you company anymore!
04:23Iris, this is your last chance! Kneel! Apologize to Gail and Carol right now. Or don't expect
04:33me to see you as my sister ever again! Just see how you survive in Seaford without my protection!
04:41Just then, a sleek, understated luxury limousine glided to a halt at the edge of the crowd. The
04:45door opened silently. Carol emerged with poised grace, her assistant steadying her elbow.
04:50Steven, Gail, please, don't speak to Irish like that.
04:54The moment Gail and Steven saw her, they practically bolted to her side.
04:58Why did you come out, Carol? It's chaos out here. Get back in the car.
05:01He's right, Carol. You don't feel well. You shouldn't have come.
05:05Gail added, wrapping an arm protectively around her, shielding her from view. Their
05:09cautious demeanor was a blade in my gut. Once, they had cherished me in the same way.
05:18Some older students cornered me at school back then. Steven shrugged off his backpack and threw
05:22himself into the fight, one against three. Bruised and bleeding, he'd grin like a fool and say,
05:27don't worry, I've got you. Meanwhile, Gail removed every obstacle in silence.
05:35He leveraged family power to crush the other boys' families, forcing them out of the city.
05:39His father had punished him for it, six lashes across his back. Yet he never told me. The clearer those
05:46memories became, the more grotesque the present felt. It was like I was watching a dream rot into a
05:51nightmare. No one was paying attention to me. The same fan who'd attacked me before seized her
05:58chance, along with a few others. She lunged forward, yanking my hair and slamming me to the ground.
06:03Rip that seductive face to shreds! Murderer! Let's purge society of trash like you!
06:11Over the five years in the institution, I've learned to absorb pain, to curl inward,
06:16shield my head and chest, and wait for it to pass. Murderer! Let's purge society of trash like you!
06:22Blurt vision swam as they kicked and dragged me. Through a slit of sight, I saw Gail lean close to
06:27Carol, murmuring reassurances. His expression was softer than I'd seen in years.
06:34Stephen, meanwhile, glanced at me with undisguised disgust.
06:39Stop!
06:41Carol feigned shock, as if she hadn't noticed the mess until now. She cried, stepping between them
06:47and me. Gently, she reached out. Iris, are you alright? Yet her fingers dug cruelly into the wound
06:54on my arm. I let out a strangled groan. She flinched as if I'd burned her, then burst into dramatic
07:00tears.
07:02I'm sorry, Iris. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted to help.
07:09How much longer will you keep hurting Carol?
07:14Still acting? After all this time still playing the victim? Carol barely touched you and you clutch
07:18your wounds like martyrdism? Trying to pull that old trick again? Pretending to be her, saving me,
07:24then framing her and ruining her reputation? Ruining the career she has built for years?
07:28Carol is kind. She fears these lies. Me? I'm not so forgiving.
07:32The agony in my scalp was blinding. If you try those stunts again,
07:35the mental institution will welcome you back. You better believe it. Enough! She's still your sister.
07:42Does she deserve to be? Ever since she ran from that valley and left me to die,
07:48all for her own skin, she's no longer my sister. From that day forward, Carol is the only sister I
07:54have.
07:54Steven was so enraged. Gale stared at him for a while before shifting his gaze on me,
07:59curled and broken on the ground, then sighed heavily. He removed his suit jacket and placed it over me,
08:03his movements stiff and automatic, before turning away. I'm taking Carol to the hospital. She looked
08:08terrified and her face was pale. Carol immediately leaned into him, looking fragile and helpless.
08:15Gale, my stomach hurts. I've got you. Let me take you to the hospital. He swept her into his arms
08:21effortlessly. From that moment on, he never spared me a glance. Steven glanced down at me with loathing,
08:26then barked at the remaining assistants and bodyguards. Clean this up. Make sure no one gets near
08:32Carol's car. Then he hurried after Gale, shielding her like a prized jewel. The fan sneered, squatting
08:38beside me and slapping my bruised cheek. See? No one cares about her! Another girl joined in,
08:44grabbing the lapels of Gale's jacket. Thought you were tough just now, huh? Go on, murderer! Kill me if you
08:51can!
08:51You don't deserve nice things! Strip her! Strip her gown! She's not fit to wear decent clothes!
08:59Another chimed in. Several voices eagerly agreed. Agony lanced through every inch of me. I could barely move.
09:06I could only watch, helpless, as their hands clawed at my torn hospital gown. I tried to struggle, but my
09:12throat
09:13barely let out a whisper. They dragged me to a secluded corner, away from crying eyes. One of them
09:19produced a small bottle of super glue from her back. Since you're so fond of seducing people,
09:23let's make sure that pretty mouth of yours never opens again. And those seductive eyes.
09:28I thrashed and thought, but it only earned me more blows.
09:35Finally, one of the bodyguards, clearly uneasy, called Steven.
09:39Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown. Ms. Brown is being attacked by some of Ms. Carol Brown's fans.
09:44What should we do? Do I need to be updated on every little incident?
09:48Steven snapped, cutting him off. I told you to keep Carol's path clear. Why should I care about that?
09:55At that moment, Gail's voice pierced through the line, tense and breathless.
09:59Stop wasting time. Carol's heart rate is spiking. Get a doctor. Now.
10:04Monitor the situation. Don't cause a scene. And whatever you do, don't let anyone capture
10:08anything that could be damaging to Carol. As long as that woman doesn't die, we're fine.
10:13Click. The call ended. The girls nearby had clearly overheard. Their laughter rang out, sharp and cruel.
10:19As long, did you hear that? As long as she doesn't die. Come on, sisters. What's there to be scared
10:27of?
10:28Mr. Austin's backing us. Let's do whatever we want.
10:31They exchanged gleeful glances. Their taunting laughter became even more grating.
10:36The crowd eventually thinned. No one bothered to call me an ambulance. No one offered a hand.
10:42I was left there like garbage. Gritting my teeth. I forced myself up, joined screaming in protest.
10:48I pulled out my phone. There was a number I knew all too well. And I sent a message. I
10:54agree with
10:55the cooperation. The price is negotiable. I just want them dead. My hands trembled as I hit send.
11:02I'd received a message from this number four years into my confinement. At the time,
11:06I hadn't dared respond. I'd promised my parents I'd survive, no matter what. I couldn't risk falling
11:13into a trap. If I died, I'd lose everything. But then the person had sent a photo that chilled me
11:18to the bone, an image of me unconscious, with Carol and the others staging Joseph's body beside me.
11:23Evidence is ready. See you at the red carpet at eight tonight. That reply had calmed me more than
11:28anything. I wanted to tell my parents the good news. After all, before they died, I was what they
11:34worried about the most. But the moment I rose, two unforgiving hands clamped around my arm.
11:39They were Stephen's bodyguards. They hauled me back to the villa and put me onto the cold stone floor.
11:44My knees cracked hard against the rough surface. Miss Brown? Mr. Brown's orders were clear.
11:50Miss Carol's pregnancy is unstable. We'll kneel here and pray for her. Consider it your punishment.
11:57Unstable? What does that have to do with me?
12:00I twisted, but the ropes only tightened. As the evening progressed, a biting wind
12:05seeped through my clothes, gnawing at my bones. My knees, numbed by pain, throbbed dully.
12:10Dawn was near when Gail and Stephen finally returned. Instinctively, I shrank deeper into
12:15the shadows of the garden hedge. Gail, what are you waiting for? We can
12:19let Iris kneel in place of Carol to appease Joseph's mother this time. But what happens next?
12:24His mother's a lunaturk. We hand Iris over, problem solved. They look so much alike. With
12:30her mental state, she won't even notice the switch. Enough.
12:33Gail tugged at his tie, visibly irritated. I'll handle it if it comes to that.
12:38I took an involuntary step back before he could finish. Stephen spun around.
12:42Who's there? Who's there?
12:44Time stilled. Panic surged. I tried to run, but my wrists were still bound and my legs barely
12:50obeyed. I stumbled. Gail closed the distance in two strides, grabbing my shoulder and pinning me in
12:55place. You heard everything. Well, that doesn't really give me much choice. Carol's red carpet
13:00debut tonight is critical. There can't be any slip ups. So, you'll just have to suffer through this.
13:06Don't worry, we'll have someone tail you. You won't come to any real harm. Joseph's mother,
13:11Mrs. Paul, was nothing but a madwoman. Back when she'd seen Joseph's corpse in my bed,
13:15she'd nearly killed me in her grief-fueled madness. People had barely restrained her.
13:22No, Gail, please. You can't send me to her. She'll kill me. She really does. She really will.
13:32Stop it, Iris. This is for the bigger picture. He dislocated my jaw. It's just humiliation.
13:38You should be used to it by now. Once this is over, I promise I'll divorce Carol and come back
13:45to you.
13:46He clapped his hands. Two bodyguards stepped forward and hoisted me up, dragging me towards
13:51Mrs. Paul's estate. It didn't take long. Inside the villa, Mrs. Paul sat on the sofa,
13:56clutching a portrait of her son. Joseph, my dear child, don't be afraid.
14:01Those who harmed you, I won't let them go unpunished. The television in the background
14:07played on, broadcasting the glittering red carpet coverage. Carol and Gail smiled side by side,
14:13bathed in camera flashes, flawless in designer finery. Her murmurs faltered and soon stopped.
14:18Mrs. Paul's gaze locked onto the screen. Her cloudy eyes widened.
14:21Why? Why is the murderer smiling while my son lies cold underground?
14:30The bodyguards exchanged uneasy glances. One stepped forward and shoved me ahead. The moment
14:35Mrs. Paul saw me, she froze. Then, like a rabbit animal, she lunged. Her skeletal fingers wrapped
14:40around my throat, nails digging into flesh, cutting off breath. It's you! You killed my son!
14:48She snatched a fruit knife from the table and drove it towards my chest.
14:51Die! Die! You all deserve to die!
14:54Across the city, the grand ballroom blazed with light. Carol glided across the floor on Gail's arm,
15:00with Stephen guarding her other side like a loyal sentinel. The ballroom erupted in a symphony of
15:04applause. Cameras sparked like fireworks. Champagne glasses chimed in celebration,
15:09and a cascade of praise spilled from every corner. Then, the giant scream behind the stage
15:13flickered and went black. What's happening? A technical error? I don't know.
15:17Murmurs of confusion rippled through the crowd. Gail frowned and shifted towards the backstage.
15:22Stephen tensed, angling himself slightly in front of Carol. Seconds later, the screen lit up again.
15:28In the footage, Carol, with her back to the camera,
15:31grabbed a vase from the bedside and smashed it down on Joseph. His body crumpled down the wall,
15:35landing with a dull thud, twitching a few times before going still. The entire scene lasted mere
15:40seconds. Silence. Then came the uproar.
15:44Is that… Carol? Did she kill Joseph? So… Iris was framed?
15:50Get this footage out! Front page, this is huge!
15:52Reporters surged forward. Cameras raised, pushing past security. Microphones jabged towards Carol,
15:58his face had drained of color. Ms. Carol, how do you explain this?
16:02Do you need the real thing to collect their will to death? The story behind the murder case? Is it
16:07true? Did you set Iris up? Gail reacted first. He yanked Carol behind him, shielding her.
16:14Everyone, please remain calm. That footage has been manipulated. The woman in the video is Iris.
16:20Exactly. This is fake. Carol is like an angel. She would never do such a thing. It has to be
16:27Iris.
16:28She's always been manipulative. She was jealous of Carol and tried to destroy her!
16:33But the reporters weren't buying it. The footage was damning. And the figure was all too familiar.
16:38It was Carol. Stephen's expression darkened. He pulled out his phone.
16:44Bring Iris here. Now! Mr. Brownie. I'm afraid Ms. Brownie can't be there.
16:50What do you mean she can't? Put her on the phone. Sir, Ms. Brownie was stabbed in the heart by
16:56Mrs. Paul.
16:57She didn't make it. No. That's impossible. I don't believe it!
17:04His head jerked up towards Gail. Gail, too, had heard the ever-composed mask he wore shattered.
17:10How could this happen? The reporters pressed closer, emboldened, reaching for Carol for an answer.
17:16Gail, my stomach. It hurts.
17:20Carol seemed to have lost her strength, sliding downward. Normally, Gail would have swept her into
17:25his arms instantly. But this time, his mind reeled, caught between panic and disbelief.
17:31It was only when Carol moaned softly that he snapped back to the moment.
17:34Don't worry. Don't let the reporters scare you. I'll take you to the hospital.
17:39He turned to Steven, leaving Carol to him. You take her. I'm going to the Paul's Villa.
17:44Steven, however, didn't move. He turned to leave.
17:49Stop! Where are you going?
17:51Gail grabbed his arm. Carol's surrounded by reporters. How can you just leave her?
17:54Steven wrenched his arm free. Where do you think I'm going?
18:01Steven! Gail turned back.
18:02Mind your place. Don't drag this out and hurt Carol.
18:07Steven let out a hollow, bitter laugh, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
18:11My place? Gail, that's my sister lying there, dying. While you lecture me about my place?
18:19To hell with that!
18:20Without another word, he stormed towards the exit. Carol's hand brushed his sleeve.
18:25Gail.
18:27Don't worry. I'm just going to bring her back. Make sure she can't cause you any more trouble.
18:32He couldn't tell in his mind he was trying to use. He followed after Steven.
18:37The two arrived at the villa almost at the same time. Blood stained the marble floors.
18:42Gail's fist collided with Steven's face.
18:45Steven!
18:49Didn't you promise there were bodyguards watching her?
18:53That she'd be perfectly safe? Then where are they?
18:57Even a healthy man wouldn't survive this. She's just come out of a mental institution.
19:01How could she withstand this? Tell me how!
19:06Steven's face twitched with anguish. He licked the blood from the corner of his mouth.
19:11Turning his gaze on Gail, whose eyes were bloodshot.
19:14Gail stopped pretending. Back then, for Carol's sake, you sent Iris to that hellhole.
19:20Ordered the doctors to electrocute her into a drooling shadow, just so she'd never fight
19:25back against Carol. Did you ever stop to ask if my sister could endure it?
19:31Speechless, he stared at Steven, though he couldn't find a word to defend himself.
19:36Steven turned away from him, gaze snapping back to the crimson stain.
19:40I don't believe she's dead. I know Iris better than anyone. She's been a brilliant liar since we were kids.
19:48And she values her life above everything. Years ago, when we fell off that cliff,
19:53she stole my supplies, left me to freeze and saved herself. Someone like that doesn't just die,
19:57not to mention a stab in the heart. She staged this. She's hiding. Watching us turn anxious and
20:04crazy and finally unravel. She must be plotting to ruin Carol and destroy everything at the worst
20:10possible moment. Steven Ward, veins bulged on his neck. Where is she? Were you all blind? You idiots!
20:18Tell me what happened! Didn't I order you to protect her well? Mr. Brown, we did everything we could.
20:29Mrs. Paul moved faster than lightning. By the time we reacted, it was too late. Lies!
20:39You're elite. Hired by Brown Security. Trained for hostage situations and armed confrontations.
20:45Six trained men. And you let a mentally unstable woman overpower you? Let her plunge a knife straight
20:50into Iris's heart? Do you take me for a fool? Talk! What really happened?
20:57Steven's hand cracked across the guard's face. Where is she? Mr. Brown, please spare us! It was
21:03Miss Carol. She gave the order, telling us to bait and push Mrs. Paul until she killed Miss Brown. We
21:12when we got back. This is what we found. Carol. The name landed like a death sentence. Steven staggered
21:20as if gut-punched. His innocent, delicate sister, his shining angel, behind it all? Footsteps echoed,
21:26urgent, rapid. Carol rushed into the room, cheeks pale, eyes rimmed in red.
21:32Gail! Steven! I'm so scared! My stomach! It hurts so much!
21:40She spotted them and instinctively ran to Gail, arms outstretched as usual. But this time,
21:45he didn't catch her. She missed, stumbling, and looked up in astonishment, only to meet Gail's
21:50frigid stare. Her heart sank. Gail? Steven? What's wrong? She scrambled to mask the panic,
21:56plastering on her usual fragile expression. You just left me there. I was terrified.
22:04Those reporters nearly tore me apart. To her surprise, he grabbed her by the neck,
22:09firm, unflinching. Who gave you permission to hurt Iris?
22:18Gail! How dare you! Why not? If you weren't still useful to me, I'd snap your neck right now.
22:28Kill me, and all your secrets will go public.
22:32Gail, stop! She can't die! Carol collapsed to the floor, coughing violently. She glared up at Gail,
22:39defiant. You kill me, you die too. Both of you. I guarantee it.
22:47I've backed up everything. Not just Joseph's murder. I've kept everything. Video proof, recorded
22:54conversations, transaction records, everything tying you to asset transfers, money laundering,
23:00the accidents tied with troublesome shareholders. If anything happens to me, it all gets sent to the
23:06authorities. Automatically. We fall together. Carol, shut your mouth!
23:16Face it, boys. We're in this together. Iris was always the burden. What was she to you?
23:24Without me, your empire collapses. Your dirty laundry sees daylight. Think twice before you try
23:31anything with me. Gail, she's right. This isn't the time to turn on each other.
23:38Clean this up. We suppressed the red carpet footage completely. And Iris? Find her, alive or dead.
23:46When I opened my eyes, the dull ache in my chest throbbed through layers of expertly wrapped bandages.
23:51Mrs. Paul sat beside the bed, gently dabbing my cracked lips with a cotton swab dipped in warm water.
23:56The moment I regained my consciousness. Sally, I told you, this was too dangerous.
24:06If that knife had slipped an inch, or if they hadn't left as we planned, you wouldn't have survived.
24:12It was the only way to break them from the inside. There was no other path.
24:19In truth, I had already allied with Mrs. Paul long before that night. She had harbored doubts about
24:25Joseph's death from the beginning. On the afternoon he died, he'd sent her a blurred video. In it,
24:32Carol was drugging a group of young women, several of whom later appeared on missing persons flyers.
24:39Mrs. Paul had been ready to call the police. But as she stepped outside, a car nearly crushed her.
24:45She woke up hours later in a ditch. Her phone was gone. Officials called it a mugging. But she knew
24:51better. It was a warning. Since then, she had feigned madness, secretly investigating. It took her a long
24:58time to recover the video, but its quality was too plore. Gail's digital smear teams buried the truth
25:03all too well. All her efforts were in vain. Carol's star never dimmed.
25:10Is there really nothing we can do? Do we just sit here and let them get away with murder?
25:16Who says we don't have solid evidence?
25:20In the institution, I met someone. Eric Richards, Gail's former chief secretary.
25:27What he has should be enough to bury them. Gail's secretary? How did he end up in that place?
25:35That mental institution? It's not a hospital. It's Gail's private graveyard for anyone who crosses him.
25:45We have to save him. Now, with that evidence, we can send them all to hell.
25:50Wait, Mrs. Paul. No rush. We had a plan. After I got rid of them, I was supposed to meet
25:57Eric.
25:58Somewhere only he and I knew. We arrived at Eric's apartment soon after. The moment the door creeped
26:04open, a metallic tank flooded the air. Blood. My stomach dropped. Phone flashlight in hand. I scanned the dark
26:11space. In the corner, slumped and lifeless, was Eric. His throat had been slit clean through.
26:20Move. I grabbed Mrs. Paul's arm. It's not safe. Gail's close. Unfortunately, as we turned to leave,
26:27from the shadows emerged a tall figure, impeccably dressed in a tailored suit. It was Gail. Behind him
26:32loomed Steven. Iris. Why is it so hard for you to learn?
26:41He reached out to me. Come here. I'll forgive your betrayal, your scheming, even your little stunt
26:46with outsiders. Just promise to stay by my side. Forever. That idiot Carol thought she could threaten
26:52me? Please. I've already put her where she belongs. No one will stand in our way. Come back,
26:59and we can pick up- In your dreams!
27:02I'll never forgive you. Iris. Stop this. Come back to Gail. Let's just for- Steven, have you forgotten
27:09your childhood dream? You wanted to be a police officer. Instead, you became the worst kind of
27:14criminal. You even killed mom and dad. You know? Do you think I wanted to? The company was failing.
27:23I begged them for funds to stabilize it, but they refused, saying it was for your future life.
27:29But I'm the brown heir. I was entitled. All my life, you got everything first. Even dad favored you to
27:37take
27:37over the company. Why? They asked for it. They stood in my way. Everything was always about you.
27:44So you knew I saved you that night at the cliff, but you convinced yourself I'd abandoned you.
27:49You just made it easier to hate me. To destroy me.
27:51Enough! Iris, I'm done asking. Hand over whatever Eric gave you, and tell me everything you know.
27:56For old times' sake, I'll give you a clean way out. Or- He gave a signal, and the bodyguards
28:01closed in from both sides. I stepped in front of Mrs. Paul, shielding her until we backed against
28:06the cold wall, with nowhere left to run out.
