Short filmTranscript
00:00They call me a vindictive lunatic, a woman with a heart made of jagged glass and a soul drenched in
00:05gasoline.
00:06Most people, when slapped, turn the other cheek.
00:09Me? I ripped the arm off the person who slapped me and beat them with it.
00:13I remember when I was 7, a neighbor accused me of stealing a measly 20 bucks.
00:18I didn't cry. I didn't plead.
00:20I waited until the moon was high, climbed onto her porch, and systematically dismantled the tiles of her roof until
00:26the rain flooded her entire life.
00:28At 25, a colleague whispered that my promotion was bought in bed.
00:32I didn't report her to HR.
00:34I found the hidden camera, footage of her and the married CEO in the supply closet, and played it on
00:40a 10-foot LED loop at the annual gala while sipping champagne.
00:44I don't forget. I don't forgive.
00:46And now, my family has traded me like a prize mayor to the Nelsons.
00:50Edwin Nelson, a man who thinks his family's old money can buy my submission.
00:54He thinks he's marrying a socialite. He doesn't realize he's opening the door to a Category 5 hurricane.
01:00And tonight, at our pre-wedding gala, the storm is finally making landfall.
01:05The ballroom smelled of lilies and hypocrisy.
01:08I stood there, wrapped in a silk dress that cost more than most people's education, watching her.
01:13Hannah Robinson, Edwin's so-called childhood friend.
01:16In reality, she was a parasite with a French manicure, clinging to Edwin's arm as if she were the bride.
01:21She leaned in close, her breath-smelling of expensive gin and cheap malice.
01:27Marjorie, I see you're following the family tradition of aggressive social climbing.
01:32Given your mother's history with the Flynn's, I assume Edwin is simply your latest attempt at job security, after your
01:40last sponsor lost interest?
01:41The laughter that followed was sharp, like the sound of breaking bones.
01:45Edwin didn't stop them. He didn't even flinch.
01:48He just stood there, his eyes cold, enjoying my supposed humiliation.
01:53They were all waiting for me to shatter.
01:55But they forgot one thing.
01:56You can't break something that's already made of steel.
01:59I didn't blink.
02:01I reached for a crystal bottle of vintage scotch on the table.
02:04With a slow, deliberate motion, I smashed it against the mohawkini edge.
02:08The sound cracked through the room like a gunshot.
02:11Before Hannah could even gasp, I had the jagged, dripping edge pressed firmly against her throat.
02:16Right where her pulse was thrumming with terror.
02:19Edwin, I said.
02:21You have so many friends.
02:23One less wouldn't matter, right?
02:24Hannah's face went from pale to ghostly.
02:27The vultures stopped laughing.
02:29Edwin's face darkened.
02:30He grabbed me.
02:31He shoved my hand away with a force that bruised my wrist.
02:34Marjorie, what is wrong with you?
02:37Hannah was just joking.
02:43Can't you take a joke for once in your life?
02:49A joke?
02:50I whispered.
02:51I've never had much of a sense of humor.
02:53I don't get jokes.
02:55So anyone who jokes with me, I make them the joke.
02:58The room was thick with tension.
03:00Edwin's friends started jeering.
03:02Yeah, Marjorie.
03:03Someone like Edwin marrying you is a blessing for you.
03:06Can't you take a joke?
03:07Yeah, can't you take a joke?
03:08I felt a slow, predatory smile spread across my face.
03:11If they wanted a game, I'd give them one they'd never survive.
03:15I pulled out my black card.
03:17Limitless, cold, and powerful.
03:19And slammed it onto the table.
03:21Let's play a game.
03:23Truth or dare.
03:24Six rounds.
03:25If anyone makes me take a single sip of this drink tonight,
03:29this card is yours.
03:32You can buy a new life with it.
03:35But if you lose,
03:36watching Hannah's greed battle with her fear,
03:38she reached for the dice.
03:40Her eyes gleaming.
03:41She thought she was lucky.
03:43She didn't realize that in my world.
03:45The house always wins,
03:46and I am the house.
03:48I didn't even look at the dice as they rattled across the table.
03:51A perfect alignment of hell.
03:53I looked Hannah dead in the eye.
03:56Truth.
03:57She hesitated,
03:59her lip trembling.
04:01Truth.
04:02Tell me, Hannah.
04:04Did your mother marry your father before you were born,
04:06or did she wait until the original wife died of a broken heart three months after your birth?
04:12Is it true your entire existence is built on the ruins of another woman's life?
04:16The room went deathly silent.
04:18Hannah looked like I'd slapped her with a ghost.
04:20I-I-I picked dare.
04:22I slid a glass of a lethal, dark concoction toward her.
04:25Fine.
04:26Drink this.
04:28Then call your mother on speakerphone and tell her that tonight,
04:32everyone knows she was nothing but a baccally mistress.
04:39Edwin lunged at me then,
04:40his hand raised to strike.
04:42This was it,
04:43the moment the mask of the perfect groom finally fell.
04:47Edwin's hand stayed in midair,
04:50trembling with a rage he was too weak to act upon.
04:52He looked at me as if I were a monster,
04:55while Hannah huddled in his shadow like a wounded bird.
04:58Her father died for mine.
05:01That makes
05:03her family margit.
05:05Something you clearly don't understand with that ice water in your veins.
05:08I leaned in,
05:09my lips brushing his ear,
05:11whispering words that tasted like hemlock.
05:13Family?
05:14Or a convenient excuse for a mid-tier affair, Edwin?
05:17You're not a hero for protecting her.
05:19You're just a puppet with the strings pulled by a girl who smells like desperation.
05:24I walked out of that gala without looking back.
05:27My phone buzzed in my clutch.
05:29A message from my private investigator.
05:31Found it!
05:32The hero father?
05:33He didn't die saving anyone.
05:35He died running away with the company pension.
05:38I felt a cold, sharp joy.
05:40Tomorrow wasn't just a wedding, it was an execution.
05:43The morning of the wedding,
05:45the silk of my gown felt like cool armor against my skin.
05:48My father walked into the dressing room,
05:50his eyes scanning me not with love,
05:53but with the cold calculation of a CEO checking his stock.
05:56The Nelsons are fragile right now, Marjorie, he said.
06:00Marry him, stabilize the merger, then you can ruin him in private.
06:04I looked at my reflection, the perfect porcelain bride.
06:07But behind the veil, my eyes were those of a predator.
06:11Don't worry, Dad.
06:13By the time the cake is cut, the Nelsons won't just be fragile.
06:17They'll be extinct.
06:19Just then, my phone chimed.
06:21A voice note from an unknown number.
06:23I pressed play.
06:24It was the sound of bedsheets wrestling in Hannah's voice.
06:27Breathless and triumphant.
06:29She thinks she's winning because she has the ring, Edwin.
06:33But I have you.
06:35I didn't cry.
06:37I smiled.
06:38They just gave me the opening act for my show.
06:41The cathedral was packed with the city's elite.
06:43Vultures in tuxedos and hyenas in couture.
06:46As I stood at the back of the aisle,
06:48the organ music swelling,
06:50I saw Edwin at the altar.
06:52He looked smug, convinced he'd tamed the lunatic.
06:55Beside him, in the front row,
06:57Hannah was wearing a dress that was just a shade too close to white.
07:00I didn't start walking.
07:02Instead, I signaled my technician in the balcony.
07:05Suddenly, the music died.
07:07A static hiss filled the vaulted ceilings,
07:09followed by a sound that made the entire congregation gasp.
07:13Hannah's moans and Edwins whispered promises from the night before,
07:16beaming through the $50,000 sound system.
07:20Margin is just a business transaction.
07:23You're the only one I truly want.
07:26Silence that followed was so heavy it felt like it would collapse the building.
07:31I stood there, the jilted bride,
07:33watching the color drain from Edwin's face until he looked like a corpse.
07:37I finally began my walk down the aisle,
07:39not as a victim, but as a judge.
07:42Every head turned, eyes wide with a mix of horror and pity.
07:45Edwin tried to step toward me,
07:47his mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water.
07:50Margie, that's not what it sounds like.
07:52I didn't let him finish.
07:54I reached him, and with the strength of every slight I'd ever endured,
07:57I delivered a slap that echoed like a gunshot.
08:00His head snapped to the side.
08:02It sounds exactly like a breach of contract, Edwin.
08:06My voice carrying to the very back row.
08:08Behind him, his father, old Mr. Nelson, clutched his chest.
08:12His face turning a terrifying shade of purple.
08:15He knew, in one minute, I hadn't just ruined a wedding.
08:19I'd wiped billions off their family's net worth, and I was just getting warmed up.
08:24Chaos erupted.
08:25Guests were fleeing.
08:27Reporters were storming the doors.
08:29In the middle of the carnage, my phone vibrated.
08:32A photo.
08:33My mother, tied to a chair on the rooftop of the hotel across the street.
08:37A jagged piece of rebar held to her throat by a hooded figure.
08:40Come alone, or she drops.
08:42The text read,
08:43I felt a surge of adrenaline so hot it burned.
08:46Hannah.
08:47Only a girl that desperate would be that stupid.
08:50I didn't call the police.
08:51Not yet.
08:52I wanted to see the look in her eyes.
08:54When she realized she'd brought a knife to a nuclear war.
08:57I slipped out the side door, shedding my veil like a snake shedding skin.
09:02Wait for me, Hannah.
09:04I have a gift for you.
09:05The wind at the top of the hotel was howling.
09:08Whipping my white skirts around my legs like a ghost's shroud.
09:11Hannah was standing there.
09:13Her eyes bloodshot and manic.
09:15Two of Edwin's friends, the same idiots who laughed at the gala, were holding my mother.
09:20You think you're so smart, Marjorie?
09:23Hannah screamed over the wind.
09:25You think you can just play with people's lives?
09:27I'm going to destroy you.
09:29I'm going to stream your heroic daughter begging for mercy while these guys have their way with her!
09:35I looked at my mother.
09:37She was terrified.
09:38But she locked eyes with me.
09:40I didn't show fear.
09:41I took a step forward.
09:42A cold, mocking laugh bubbling up in my throat.
09:45You really think this is how you win, Hannah?
09:47By becoming a common kidnapper?
09:50You're not a protagonist.
09:52You're a fit note.
10:01This is a little something to make the show more interesting.
10:08By the time you wake up, you'll be the most hated woman in the country.
10:13A disgraced bride, caught in a drug-yeled orgy.
10:17She shoved the pill down my throat and forced me to swallow.
10:20I choked, a bitter taste coating my tongue.
10:23I fell to my knees, gasping for air.
10:26Hannah turned to the camera she'd set up on a tripod.
10:30Are we live?
10:33Let's give the world what they want.
10:35I stayed on the floor, my hair covering my face.
10:37They thought I was fading.
10:39They didn't see the tiny microphone clipped to my bodice,
10:42or the way I was counting down the seconds in my head.
10:453, 2, 1.
10:47Suddenly, the thug holding the camera...
10:50Hannah?
10:50Wait.
10:52Look at the comments.
10:53Hannah ran to the screen, her smirk turning into a mask of pure horror.
10:57The feed wasn't showing me on the floor.
10:59It was showing everything.
11:01The camera she thought was hers had been hacked and redirected.
11:04The entire city, watching on the jumbotrons I'd rented,
11:08was seeing her hold a knife to an old woman's throat.
11:11They were seeing her force-feed me a pill.
11:17Surprise.
11:18My voice wasn't slurred.
11:20I palmed the pill and tucked it under my tongue,
11:23spitting it out the second they looked away.
11:25You wanted a live stream, Hannah?
11:28I just gave you a front-road seat to your own arrest.
11:36The sound of sirens began to wail from below.
11:39My security team, disguised as hotel staff,
11:42burst onto the roof.
11:44Within seconds, the thugs were pinned,
11:47and my mother was in my arms.
11:49Hannah was backed up against the ledge.
11:51Sobbing, her pure image shattered into a million filthy pieces.
11:54I walked up to her, stepping on the hem of her cheap dress.
12:01You know what the best part is, Hannah?
12:04While you were playing kidnapper,
12:07my lawyers were filing the paperwork.
12:10Your father's embezzlement files,
12:12they're on the DA's desk.
12:16Every penny Edmund gave you?
12:18It's being clawed back as stolen assets.
12:25I leaned over the ledge,
12:26looking at the tiny people below.
12:28You're not just going to jail.
12:30You're going to be a pauper.
12:32And in this city,
12:33that's a fate worse than death.
12:35An hour later,
12:36I walked back into the wedding venue.
12:38It was empty now,
12:39except for the janitors and a broken,
12:41keeping Edwin Nelson sitting on the steps.
12:43He looked up at me,
12:45his tuxedo torn,
12:46his eyes bleeding.
12:47Margie, please.
12:50My father,
12:51he's in the ICU.
12:53The company is crashing.
12:59I was wrong.
13:02I'll do anything.
13:05I'll be the husband you want.
13:07I looked down at him as if he were a stain on my shoe.
13:10I reached into my bag,
13:12pulled out the wedding ring,
13:13and dropped it into his half-empty champagne glass.
13:17A husband?
13:18Edwin?
13:19I don't even want you as a footman.
13:21My voice ringing in the hollow hall.
13:22Go back to your little parasite.
13:24Go work a nine-to-five.
13:26Go see what it's like to be joking when you can't afford.
13:29Because from this moment on,
13:31you don't exist in my world.
13:36I turned and walked toward the light.
13:38The sound of my heels the only music I needed.
13:42After I got home,
13:43I received a phone call accusing me of a crime.
13:46Miss Flynn,
13:47we have received charges against you.
13:49Please come to the police station.
13:52I hung up the phone and went out to deal with it.
13:56As I stepped out of the police station,
13:59a sea of flashbulbs blinded me.
14:01Edwin's legal sharks had been busy,
14:03leaking photos of my arrest to paint me as a corporate bully tormenting a poor,
14:07innocent girl.
14:08A reporter shoved a mic into my face.
14:10Miss Flynn,
14:11any comment on the kidnapping charges?
14:14I didn't hide.
14:15I didn't flinch.
14:16I slowly removed my sunglasses,
14:18looked directly into the lens of a million-dollar camera,
14:22and raised my middle finger with royal elegance.
14:24I didn't need a PR team.
14:26I needed them to fear me.
14:28And soon,
14:29they would.
14:31On TV,
14:32Edwin was playing the role of his life.
14:35Tears in his eyes.
14:36Voice trembling.
14:37Marjay has always been violent.
14:40Hannah is just a girl who lost her father and wanted to protect me.
14:44I almost clapped for him.
14:47He was weaponizing pity to save the Nelson's plummeting stock.
14:50Little did he know,
14:52while he was practicing his grieving fiancé routine,
14:55I was already dissecting his father's secret offshore accounts.
14:58Edwin,
14:59every act has a ticket price.
15:01Yours?
15:01It's the entire Nelson empire.
15:04That night,
15:05I went live.
15:06No filters.
15:08No script.
15:08Just me and my cold,
15:10marble office.
15:1110 million people tuned in within minutes.
15:16Since everyone loves a story,
15:18let's talk about the truth.
15:20I threw the first card,
15:22the autopsy and bank records of Hannah's father.
15:25The hero everyone's crying for?
15:27He was a thief who embezzled 200 million before taking the coward's way out.
15:31And the Nelsons?
15:33They were his biggest creditors.
15:35The comments section turned into a battlefield.
15:37Hannah's pure image didn't just crack.
15:39It disintegrated.
15:41I played the second card,
15:43the raw.
15:43Unedited audio from the rooftop.
15:45This is a little something to make the show more interesting.
15:47By the time you wake up,
15:49you'll be the most hated woman in the country.
15:51Listen to this poor girl,
15:52as she describes exactly how she planned to have her thugs violate my mother.
15:58Silence fell over the internet.
16:00The righteous fury of the masses shifted its trajectory.
16:02The stones they were throwing at me
16:05were suddenly flying toward the Nelson headquarters.
16:08Three days after Hannah's arrest,
16:10I visited her.
16:11She wore orange polyester.
16:13Her green tea innocence replaced by tangled hair and manic eyes.
16:17You're a demon, Marguerite.
16:18You destroyed me!
16:20She screamed through the glass.
16:22I looked at her with the boredom one feels for a crushed insect.
16:25No, Hannah.
16:27Your greed destroyed you.
16:30You thought catching Edwin was catching a gold mine.
16:34You didn't realize he was just the trash can I was finished with.
16:40Fraud.
16:40Insider trading.
16:42False imprisonment.
16:43The Nelson family was a palace built on sand,
16:46and the tide had finally come in.
16:48Because of Edwin's stupidity,
16:50every poison pill in their contracts was triggered.
16:52My father, the shark he is, saw the blood in the water.
16:56We'd bought the Nelson core assets for pennies on the dollar.
16:59Edwin and his father fell from the clouds into the gutter,
17:02and I was the one who kicked the ladder away.
17:04When the dust settled,
17:06my father walked into my office.
17:07For the first time,
17:09I saw respect in his eyes.
17:11Well done, Marguerite.
17:12You're more ruthless than I imagined.
17:16He handed me the new appointment papers for the group.
17:19I was no longer a pawn to be traded in a strategic marriage.
17:22I was the one moving the pieces.
17:24I was the master of the board.
17:29I found Edwin waiting outside my office.
17:32His stubble was thick.
17:34His designer suit wrinkled like a discarded rag.
17:37Marjorie, please.
17:39My father needs surgery.
17:41The company is gone.
17:42Help me.
17:42He tried to grab my hand.
17:44I stepped back.
17:45My eyes filled with a lethal disgust.
17:48Go deliver packages, Edwin.
17:50Or find a generous patron to keep you.
17:53But don't come begging here.
17:56I don't collect damaged guts.
17:59He stumbled away.
18:00Looking like a marionette with its strings cut.
18:03I watched him go and felt.
18:05Nothing.
18:06No hate.
18:07No heat.
18:08Just a cold vacuum.
18:09I used to think I'd hate him forever.
18:11Now I realize he doesn't even deserve a kilobyte of my brain's memory.
18:15This indifference?
18:16This is the ultimate revenge.
18:19My parents were at it again.
18:21A strategist from London.
18:23An heir from an academic dynasty.
18:25At dinner, my mother whispered.
18:29Marges, you're young.
18:31You can't stay alone forever.
18:33I put down my fork.
18:35That old lunatic spark flickering in my eyes.
18:38Mom, do you think my momentum is too fast?
18:43Do you think I need a man to slow me down?
18:45I declined every suitor.
18:47To me, these elites were as transparent as glass.
18:51They didn't want a wife.
18:52They wanted a partner with a seat at the Flynn group table.
18:55They wanted my resources.
18:57Not my heart.
18:58I had no love to give.
19:00And even less money to waste on mediocrity.
19:02I took over the family's most difficult sectors and turned them into industry legends.
19:07Every morning, I stand by my floor-to-ceiling windows.
19:10Watching the city wake up beneath my feet.
19:13I don't need anyone else's light to see.
19:15I am the sun.
19:17Late one night, my mother came to my apartment.
19:20She didn't talk business.
19:22She just held my hand.
19:24Marguerite, I'm not pushing you.
19:26I just hope you never close yourself off to love.
19:30To being loved, too.
19:33For a second, the glacier in my chest cracked.
19:38But I'm not closed off, Mom.
19:41I just raised the price of admission.
19:44Maybe one day, someone will walk in who doesn't ask me to be soft.
19:48Someone who doesn't fear my ambition or my malice.
19:51If he exists, I might let him stay.
19:54If he doesn't, I'm perfectly capable of walking this golden path alone.
19:58The story is over.
20:00People ask if I'm happy now that I've had my revenge.
20:03I tell them, happiness doesn't come from revenge.
20:06It comes from the power to overturn any table life sets before you.
20:09My name is Marjorie Flynn.
20:11A vindictive lunatic.
20:13A cold-blooded CEO.
20:15And a completely free woman.
20:16Remember, if you're going to play a role in my life,
20:19make sure you have the strength to stay until the curtains close.
20:22I'll see you next time.
