Love Gone,No Harm

Short filmTranscript
00:00My in-laws got bitten during a camping trip by a snake so rare only one company had the antidemum.
00:06Saritech. My husband's company. I called him right away. The woman was moaning. Then he hung up.
00:12No antidemum. No help. His whole family died in the ER.
00:17I'm sorry. They have no vitals. They're gone.
00:20Ladder. He called me back.
00:22Don't create your parents. Send their bodies to my lab. We need the specimens.
00:26He thought my parents got bitten. I looked back at the five body bags. I followed his orders.
00:34I shipped his dead family straight to his company.
00:39An hour earlier, outside the ER. The doctor said they were fading fast.
00:43We needed his company's proprietary serum. I called Adrian a hundred times.
00:49He finally picked up.
00:53Sienna's birthday is tonight. I'm staying with her. Stop acting like a psycho.
00:57I swallowed my anger.
00:59Mom and dad got bitten in. We need your lab's antivenom right now. Bring it to the hospital.
01:05He cut me off.
01:07Seriously, Vivian? That antivenom cost over a hundred grand a dose.
01:11I'm not running a charity. Fix your own mess.
01:16Then he hung up. And blocked me. I collapsed into the plastic chair.
01:21I couldn't believe that man was my husband. My phone buzzed.
01:24A text from my personal sales at Chanel.
01:27Your exclusive Chanel bag has already been picked up.
01:30My parents bought it for my birthday. And Adrian just picked it up.
01:34I knew exactly where it was. It was on Sienna's arm.
01:38He always stole my things to give to his sweetheart.
01:40Every time I got mad, he'd roll his eyes.
01:44You're a married woman. You don't need to show off.
01:48Sienna needs it to close deals.
01:50Stop being so petty.
01:53She's like a little sister to me. Deal with it.
01:56He treated Sienna like a queen. Custom bags. Sports cars.
01:59Luxury condos. He handed them out like candy. And me. His legal wife.
02:04I couldn't even get a few doses of life. Saving anti-divenom.
02:08I opened Instagram. Adrian had just posted a story.
02:13The best bag for the best girl.
02:15Tonight is ours.
02:17Sienna's post was right below it.
02:19My knight in shining armor.
02:20Your anti-venom didn't just save my family.
02:23It saved my heart too.
02:25Attached was a photo.
02:26They were wrapped around each other.
02:28Sienna was wearing my custom Chanel.
02:29And in her hand.
02:31The exact vials of anti-venom I just begged for.
02:34My blood boiled.
02:35I couldn't breathe.
02:36He left his own flesh and blood to die.
02:38Just to play hero for his side piece.
02:40The R doors slid open.
02:41Doctor stepped out.
02:43I ran straight to him.
02:45Please give me more time.
02:47I'll get the meds.
02:49He slowly shook his head.
02:51I'm sorry.
02:52They have no vitals.
02:53They're gone.
02:54My throat tightened.
02:55It felt like my chest was caving in.
02:57Just two hours ago.
02:58They had been laughing together.
03:00Now five bodies lay cold in the hospital morgue.
03:03And their son.
03:04He was still out playing house with his mistress.
03:06I forced back my tears and texted my Chanel sales.
03:09I never picked up that bag.
03:11Some one I stole my identity.
03:13Call the police.
03:14The ear doctor had told me the truth.
03:16The snake wasn't native to this state.
03:18That's why the hospital didn't have the anti-venom.
03:20It was too perfect.
03:22Exotic snakes at a local campsite.
03:24Five people dead in an instant.
03:26The police took it seriously.
03:28They moved fast.
03:30They tracked down the IP address.
03:32Simone bought the snakes online and dumped them in the woods.
03:35The suspects.
03:37Sienna's parents.
03:38The same people Adrian had rushed to save.
03:41The same people who had murdered his entire family.
03:43I couldn't wait to see his face when he found out.
03:45One of the officers explained the situation to me.
03:48Ma'am, we have our suspects.
03:50But they're in the ER right now.
03:52We can't question them yet.
03:53They were bitten too.
03:55But they already got the anti-venom.
03:57The officer gave me a strange look.
03:58He wondered how I knew.
04:00We'll get to the bottom of this.
04:01But he just nodded.
04:03After they left, I pulled up my lawyer's number.
04:05Suddenly, my phone rang.
04:07Adrian.
04:08He was furious.
04:10Vivian, have you lost your mind?
04:12I'm your husband.
04:13I picked up the bag for you.
04:15And you call the cops?
04:16What, did that snake bite you too?
04:18He kept yelling.
04:19He didn't care about my pain at all.
04:21I answered coldly.
04:22I never saw that bag.
04:24You picked it up?
04:26Fine.
04:27Well, where is it now?
04:28Adrian went silent.
04:29Then his voice softened.
04:30We're married, Vivian.
04:31What's yours is mine.
04:33Sienna really wanted that custom bag.
04:35It's the only one in New York.
04:37And today's her birthday.
04:38I just wanted to make her happy.
04:40What's wrong with doing something nice?
04:41So stop being petty.
04:42I let out a cold laugh.
04:44You really said that out loud?
04:45Why didn't you buy it with your own money?
04:48You worthless piece of trash.
04:50Adrian froze.
04:51Like he couldn't believe I had actually said it.
04:53Did you just call me trash?
04:55You're crazy.
04:56I used to tiptoe around his ego.
04:58Not anymore.
04:59If you have a shrick of humanity left,
05:01come down to the morgue.
05:03See what you did.
05:05What was I supposed to do?
05:06Bring them back to life.
05:08I am having a great night.
05:09Stop ruining it.
05:11Don't cremate your parents.
05:13Send their bodies to my lab.
05:14We need the specimens.
05:16Sienna's parents are in trouble.
05:17She is crying her eyes out.
05:19I am staying with her.
05:21He hung up.
05:22I laughed out loud.
05:23He really thought my family had died.
05:25I was going to plan a proper funeral for his family.
05:28I ordered five industrial freezers.
05:30I followed his exact orders.
05:33I packed up his whole family.
05:35And shipped them straight to his company.
05:37After dealing with everything all morning,
05:39I finally got home and was about to lie down.
05:41Then Adrian burst in and slapped me across the face.
05:45Sienna's been crying her eyes out.
05:47Her parents just got out of the ER.
05:50And you ran to press charges?
05:52What the hell is wrong with you?
05:54They're still alive, aren't they?
05:56Because you gave them the only anti-venom.
05:58The snake Sienna's parents released killed five people.
06:01Adrian's eyes flickered.
06:02Then he puffed himself up and shouted,
06:04That's my anti-venom.
06:06I decide who gets it.
06:07And Vivian, your family were idiots for going camping.
06:10If they got bitten and died, that's on them.
06:13Sienna's parents made a mistake.
06:15They didn't mean to release those snakes.
06:17They're in the hospital being questioned by the police.
06:19Your whole family is already dead.
06:21Can't you show a little mercy to the living?
06:23Maybe this is karma for you being such a bitch.
06:26They're old.
06:26How can you send them to jail?
06:28Maybe your parents were doomed either way.
06:30If it wasn't a snake, it would have been something else.
06:33Now that your family's gone, you have no one left but me.
06:36So don't do anything stupid.
06:37When he saw I wasn't budging, his tone softened.
06:40Vivian, I know you're hurting.
06:42But dead is dead.
06:43The livings still have to move on.
06:45Sienna's a sweet girl.
06:47She's offering 50 grand.
06:49I'll cover the rest and make it a million.
06:51Adrian, he said it as casually as if we were discussing the weather.
06:55Five lives.
06:56A million bucks.
06:57Adrian was the golden boy of his family.
07:00I'm so proud of you.
07:01Good job.
07:01His parents worshipped the ground he walked on.
07:04I pictured him opening those freezers.
07:06I laughed out loud.
07:07Stop acting crazy.
07:09Do you want the money or not?
07:11Sure.
07:12I wiped the tears from laughing too hard.
07:14A second later, my phone chimed.
07:17One million dollars.
07:18Received.
07:20Seeing me take the money, Adrian smirked.
07:24This morning, I signed the release as your husband.
07:27Sienna's parents are in the clear now.
07:28You should be thanking Sienna for being so generous.
07:31Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten a dime.
07:33Now call the cops and drop the stolen bag charges.
07:36Tell them you made it up.
07:37I gave a cold laugh and threw the divorce papers at him.
07:40Sign them.
07:42Return my bag.
07:44Or I'm taking you down with them.
07:49You want a divorce over a bag?
07:51His face twisted with anger.
07:53He loved my dad's social connections.
07:56But hey, my dad was dead now, right?
07:58And Sienna was begging for a ring.
08:01He grabbed a pen and signed on the dotted line.
08:05He threw the papers on the ground and turned to leave.
08:08I called out.
08:10Wait!
08:11I picked up the papers.
08:13I checked the signature.
08:14It was legally binding.
08:16I looked up and gave him a soft smile.
08:23Adrian, we may be getting divorced.
08:25But there's still a 30-day waiting period.
08:27Let's say one last goodbye to the parents.
08:29Like what you asked.
08:31I sent them to your lab as specimens.
08:33Hearing that I actually sent the bodies to his company,
08:35Adrian's face softened.
08:36He actually looked pleased.
08:38We went down to Adrian's lab.
08:43The air conditioning was blasting.
08:46Five bodies lay in a roan beneath white sheets.
08:51Adrian still thought they were my family.
08:54His face stayed cold.
08:55Detached.
08:56As if he were looking at roadkill.
08:59My chest tightened.
09:00Part of me mourned how cruelly fragile life could be.
09:03And part of me waited for the moment it finally hit him.
09:07Mom.
09:08Dad.
09:09I'm sorry you had to die like this.
09:16And Olivia.
09:17And Ryan too.
09:19Olivia and Ryan were Adrian's sister and brother-in-law.
09:24What the hell are you talking about?
09:26The second he heard those names, rage flashed across his face.
09:30He shoved me hard.
09:32I looked at him calmly.
09:33Why don't you look for yourself?
09:38He froze for a long moment.
09:40Then, slowly, he stepped forward.
09:45His hand was shaking so badly that he could barely reach for the sheet.
09:49When he finally pulled it back, his eyes widened in horror.
10:02He started shaking his head.
10:07He rushed down the line.
10:08He ripped off every single sheet.
10:10His dad.
10:11His mom.
10:12His sister Olivia.
10:14Her husband Ryan.
10:15Even his three-year, old nephew.
10:23He staggered back.
10:26Nearly collapsing.
10:29How is this possible?
10:32Why are my parents here?
10:36He whipped around to me, eyes wild.
10:40You knew, didn't you?
10:42If you told me, I would have brought the anti-venom!
10:46You did this on purpose, you bitch!
10:48I watched him come apart, and for the first time, I felt a flicker of satisfaction.
10:53You did this to yourself, Adrian.
10:56I tried to tell you.
10:58I called you a hundred times.
11:00But you were too busy playing hero for Sienna.
11:03Sienna, if you answered just once, they'd be alive.
11:09He grabbed his head with both hands, muttering.
11:11How did this happen?
11:17I thought it was your family.
11:20My parents treated you like a son.
11:23You heartless bastard.
11:26I texted you everything.
11:28I begged you to come to the ER.
11:31But those messages?
11:32You didn't read a single one.
11:34What texts?
11:35I never got any texts.
11:37I looked at him with disgust.
11:39He fumbled for his phone.
11:40He opened our chat.
11:41Nothing.
11:42Every single message was gone.
11:43You set me up, you evil bitch!
11:46Mr. Cole, calm down.
11:48Whatever it is, we can talk it through.
11:49Calm down?
11:50It's not your fucking parents lying here dead!
11:54I pulled out my phone right in his face.
11:57I opened the chat history.
11:58Adrian, please come back.
12:00Your parents got bitten by the snakes.
12:02They're dying!
12:03Forget your thing!
12:04Just bring the anti-venom!
12:06Over a hundred messages.
12:07Every single one was a desperate plea.
12:09He stared at my screen.
12:11The blood drained from his face completely.
12:13He never saw any of them.
12:15Someone on his end definitely deleted them.
12:17You killed your own family.
12:18But hey, it's on them, right?
12:20Why did they have to go camping?
12:22Don't feel bad, Adrian.
12:23You have Sienna now.
12:25And she was sweet enough to chip in 50 grand.
12:28Every cruel word he had thrown at me, I threw right back.
12:32His eyes rolled back in his head.
12:33He collapsed onto the cold tile floor.
12:35I called 911 for him.
12:37911 with your emergency.
12:38I pulled the white sheets back over his family.
12:41I didn't feel an ounce of sympathy for Adrian.
12:44The ink on our divorce papers wasn't dry yet.
12:47Legally, they were still my family too.
12:49Hours later, Adrian woke up in a hospital bed.
12:52His face was white as paper.
12:54He struggled to breathe and forced the words out.
12:58Give my parents and Olivia's family a massive funeral.
13:03I want them to go with dignity.
13:05I always believed the dead should be buried as soon as possible.
13:08But I wasn't about to go easy on Adrian.
13:11A funeral?
13:12Why bother?
13:13You said dead is dead.
13:15You told me to donate the bodies to science.
13:18I already dropped them at your lab.
13:20Now you're changing your mind?
13:22What a hassle.
13:24Adrian slammed a hand against the bed.
13:27How could you say that?
13:29My family is dead.
13:30And you still won't let them rest?
13:33I let out a mocking laugh.
13:36Oh, so now you know how that feels?
13:39That's exactly what you told me this morning.
13:42I'm only saying it back.
13:44And now you can't take it?
13:46Adrian froze.
13:47He remembered exactly what he had said.
13:49His lips quivered violently.
13:51Then he suddenly coughed up blood.
13:53He gasped for air, pointing a shaking finger at me.
13:57He wheezed.
13:58You're trying to kill me.
14:00You knew I misunderstood.
14:02If I knew the truth, I would have saved them.
14:04You let my parents die.
14:06And now you're gloating.
14:08Don't play the victim with me.
14:10I was at the ER trying to save them.
14:12I called you a hundred times.
14:14And where were you?
14:16With Sienna.
14:18Flirting with her.
14:19You told me to shut up and stop bothering you.
14:22I fought to get justice for your family.
14:25I hired a lawyer to sue the killers.
14:27But you used your rights as my husband.
14:29You dropped the charges.
14:31You let their killers walk free just to impress your side peep.
14:35If your parents knew what you did, they would never rest in peace.
14:38You killed your own blood.
14:40Don't you dare put this on me!
14:41Holy shit, did he just say he let his family die?
14:43All for his mistress?
14:44Jesus, what a bastard.
14:46His poor wife has a nightmare-reval bad luck.
14:48Every word landed.
14:49Adrian looked furious.
14:50But he had nothing to say.
14:52Then his phone rang.
14:54Sienna.
14:56Darling, where are you?
14:58Aren't we watching the fireworks tonight?
15:00Her voice came through soft and sugary.
15:02Adrian's face turned dark.
15:03Dangerously dark.
15:04Whatever softness he'd once had for her was gone.
15:09How dare you call me?
15:11Did you delete Vivian's messages?
15:13You manipulated me into signing release papers?
15:16You got my whole family killed.
15:19Wasn't I your man?
15:20How could you do this to me?
15:21He was shaking so hard.
15:23Tears spilled down his face.
15:25This wasn't just grief.
15:27It was also disbelief.
15:28His perfect, innocent girl, Sienna.
15:31Couldn't be vicious.
15:32Every fantasy he had about her shattered at once.
15:35Sienna listened to him scream without a trace of guilt.
15:37She answered in that same innocent voice.
15:40Wow, Adrian.
15:41That really hurts.
15:43Maybe your phone just glitched.
15:45Don't put this on me, she sighed, sounding annoyed.
15:50Besides, you're the one who told me they deserved it.
15:53You said Vivian's parents always looked down on you.
15:56You said you didn't care if they died.
15:58Well, since it's your parents, it is what it is.
16:01Dead is dead, right?
16:02I'm exhausted.
16:03Bye.
16:04She had the legal release papers.
16:06Her parents were safe.
16:07She didn't need him anymore.
16:09Adrian was furious but helpless.
16:11He kept pounding the bed until blood seeped from his hand.
16:14He looked like a wounded animal trapped in a cage.
16:16I folded my arms and looked at him coldly.
16:18Screaming won't change anything.
16:20Sienna was right about one thing.
16:22Dead is dead.
16:24You'd better start thinking about the funeral.
16:25We had lived together for years.
16:27Whatever happened between us, I just wanted them laid to rest.
16:30Especially his little nephew.
16:32He wasn't even four yet.
16:34After leaving the hospital, Adrian threw a massive funeral.
16:37He dropped to his knees in front of the memorial photos.
16:40Dad.
16:40Mom.
16:41Olivia.
16:42Ryan.
16:43I'm sorry.
16:44I'm so sorry.
16:45This is all my fault.
16:46Please forgive me.
16:48Rest in peace.
16:49I'll come see you every year.
16:51In just a few days, he looked wrecked.
16:53His clothes were wrinkled.
16:54His hair was a mess.
16:56A week ago, it would have broken me.
16:58Now, I felt absolutely nothing.
16:59I finally saw him for what he was.
17:01And honestly, he deserved it.
17:03Five innocent people died because of his massive ego.
17:06I tossed a single white rose onto the casket.
17:09I turned and walked away.
17:10I made my way straight back to that house.
17:12I packed up everything I had.
17:14One garment after another.
17:16One memory after another.
17:17I left not a single trace behind.
17:20This place has not been my home for a very long time.
17:23We finally sat across from each other to sign the divorce papers.
17:26Adrian was a shadow of his former self.
17:28Gone and unkempt like a homeless man.
17:2948 hours had stripped 20 years from his face.
17:32The arrogant, invincible CEO I once knew was gone forever.
17:35Vivian, I'm begging you.
17:36I've had two days to think this through.
17:38I was an idiot.
17:39Sienna tricked me and manipulated me.
17:41Please, trust me one last time.
17:43I'll change.
17:44I really will.
17:45I'll take good care of you.
17:46I swear I'll never let you suffer again.
17:48Absolutely impossible.
17:51The moment you chose her, you died to me.
17:55Completely.
17:56Don't you dare.
17:57Our divorce is final in minutes.
17:59Touch me even once and I'll have the cops here before you can blink.
18:06When we first met, he had nothing.
18:09But he treated me like a queen.
18:12You two come from two totally different worlds.
18:15You were never meant to be.
18:17I once believed love would carry us through everything.
18:20And now I see she was right all along.
18:30Vivian!
18:31Wait for me.
18:32I know.
18:33I know we're divorced now.
18:35But I love you.
18:36I always will.
18:38You're all I have left in this world.
18:41Without you, I have nothing to live for.
18:43Don't you dare put on this pathetic show for me.
18:46You never cared about me when you were protecting that woman, Sienna.
18:49We're strangers now.
18:51Got it?
18:52Stay the hell away from me.
18:59A week later, Adrian filed a new lawsuit against Sienna's parents.
19:02We were already divorced.
19:03We had nothing to do with each other anymore.
19:05But five lives were on the line.
19:06And now here I am, dragged back to this place, forced to see him again.
19:09I know you despise me.
19:12But you're the only witness I have.
19:14I have nowhere else to turn.
19:16I didn't come here for you, Adrian.
19:19I came for justice.
19:20I knew it!
19:21You were behind this, weren't you?
19:24You put him up to suing my parents!
19:26You evil bitch!
19:28You evil bitch!
19:31Baby, I already paid the fine.
19:33You know my parents are old.
19:34They just made a stupid mistake in a moment of confusion.
19:37Please drop the lawsuit, okay?
19:39I'm begging you.
19:40I'll pray for your family every single day for the rest of my life.
19:43No!
19:45Shut your mouth!
19:46Sienna's parents released venomous snakes in the park.
19:50Over a trivial boundary dispute, they wanted to kill their neighbor.
19:54But the neighbor left early, and Adrian's family walked straight into that death trap.
19:59To make sure her parents got the only available anti-venom, Sienna secretly deleted every single
20:05one of my distress messages from Adrian's phone.
20:07This is the real reason Adrian's entire family died.
20:09If you hadn't deleted those messages, my family would still be alive!
20:14None of you are innocent!
20:17You will all pay for what you've done!
20:19I signed those papers after being misled.
20:22They never should have carried any legal weight.
20:24I testified, too.
20:26Meanwhile, I filed a lawsuit with the court.
20:28I demanded the return of every single penny Adrian had spent on Sienna.
20:32After all, that was marital property.
20:33Legally, half of it was rightfully mine.
20:35He fucking gave it to me!
20:37I never asked for shit!
20:39You two are the most disgusting people I've ever met!
20:42Have you no fucking shame?
20:45As for Sienna's parents, life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
20:54As for Sienna, five years imprisonment as an accessory to manslaughter.
21:00Plus, she was ordered to pay me back $3 million.
21:02When it came time to split our assets, Adrian finally caved.
21:06He gave me the luxury penthouse, the cars, the stocks.
21:09Even Sienna's repoed sports car and designer bags were sent to my house.
21:13I knew you would never forgive me.
21:15I just hope this makes up for it.
21:17Even a little.
21:18I took everything.
21:19Why wouldn't one?
21:20It was mine to begin with.
21:22With that kind of money, I didn't need to work anymore.
21:25So I ate well, slept in, and traveled whenever I felt like it.
21:29After some real rest, my body finally recovered.
21:32Adrian kept texting me.
21:33I never replied.
21:35Without my family's funding, Adrian's company crashed and burned.
21:38He drank himself into a stupor.
21:40He bankrupted his own company in months.
21:42He was too ashamed to ask me for money.
21:44He begged to see me one last time.
21:46I refused.
21:47What was over was over.
21:49I was finally living well again.
21:50Ladder.
21:51I heard he fled to Las Vegas to dodge his debts.
21:54He thought he could gamble his way back to the top.
21:56He got in way too deep with some loan sharks.
21:58They found him dead in a back alley.
22:00Let's just say.
22:01He was missing a kidney when the cops found him.
22:03Sienna's ending wasn't any better.
22:05Prison as hell for an entitled brat.
22:07Her elderly parents were brutally beaten by inmates.
22:09They were barely clinging to life in the infirmary.
22:12Sienna couldn't handle losing her pretty privilege.
22:14She couldn't take the daily torment.
22:16One rainy night, she ended it herself.
22:18When I heard the news, I didn't smile.
22:20I didn't cry either.
22:22I just felt nothing.
22:23Karma never misses an address.
22:25I funded a top-tier biotech lab researching snake antidenom.
22:28I wanted to make sure nobody else ever died like that again.
22:31I didn't do it for praise or for anything in return.
22:34Just because I'm doing the right thing.
22:36As for me, I've got the rest of my life ahead of me.
22:39It looks pretty damn good.
