Short filmTranscript
00:00The night before my wedding, three men broke into my house.
00:03They took turns raping me, then blasted my nudes all over the internet.
00:07Before they left, they drove a baseball bat through me and tore out my insides.
00:11I lived, but I could never have children again.
00:15Overnight, I went from a pampered heiress to the country's favorite joke.
00:19Then my future mother-in-law called off the wedding.
00:23In the end, I jumped.
00:25When I opened my eyes again, I was back.
00:28Ten minutes before my family was slaughtered.
00:31I will never forget that night.
00:33The night before my wedding.
00:34In my last life, we were all getting ready for the ceremony.
00:38Mom and I were packing candy in the living room.
00:40Dad was in his study, still fixing tomorrow's speech.
00:42Then someone knocked.
00:45Mom and I both froze.
00:46No one had ordered food that late.
00:49Is this the wrong delivery?
00:52No, it was ordered by Julian.
00:54My fiancé's last name was Julian, so I opened the door.
00:58That was the start of my nightmare.
01:03Mom kept packing candy, but her eyes stayed on me.
01:05Warm.
01:06My baby is getting married tomorrow.
01:10Can't bear to leave home?
01:11Don't worry.
01:12The Julians live close by.
01:14You can come back anytime.
01:15And if not, your dad and I can visit you.
01:18The joy of being alive hit me all at once.
01:20I threw myself into her arms and held on tight.
01:22Only then did it feel real.
01:23I was alive, and so was she.
01:25Mom stopped and stroked my hair.
01:27In my last life, I asked myself the same question every day.
01:30How could I be so stupid?
01:31How could I open that door myself?
01:33The second I opened it, a blade was at my throat.
01:36Mom rushed into Sadie.
01:37He stabbed straight through her.
01:39Dad ran out of the study at the sound.
01:41The second he saw Mom in that pool of blood, his eyes went red.
01:45He grabbed a baseball bat and charged.
01:47But another killer had already been hiding inside our house.
01:50He came up behind Dad and wrapped a cord around his neck.
01:52I tried to get up.
01:54Then a gunshot rang out.
01:55The bullet hit Dad right in the chest.
01:57That was when I realized there was a third man.
02:05I watched my father fall.
02:06They died right in front of me.
02:09The grief was enough to drown me.
02:11I've never had a rich girl before.
02:13But the nightmare was not over.
02:14They tore my clothes off.
02:15Didn't see that coming.
02:16The rich little bride was still a virgin.
02:21Then they took turns raping me.
02:23When they were done, they cleaned out the house.
02:25On their way out, they argued over whether to kill me too.
02:28Don't waste the bullet.
02:29I've got a better idea.
02:31He picked up the baseball bat.
02:32Then he rammed it into my body.
02:36In that moment, I wished I were dead.
02:38But I didn't die.
02:39I held on long enough for the wedding team to arrive.
02:42The makeup crew came for the bridal prep.
02:43They found the house covered in blood.
02:45I got to the hospital in time, but my injuries were too severe.
02:48To stop me from bleeding out, the doctors removed my uterus.
02:51The surgery lasted 12 hours.
02:53I survived, but I lost everything.
02:58The Julian's parent rushed over and promised me the killers would pay.
03:01But the distressed on their faces said more than their words.
03:03Maybe the wedding should be called off.
03:06Don't blame me for being cruel.
03:07I only have one son.
03:09After what happened, and now this.
03:12Our family business will be Julian's one day.
03:14What will people say if he has a wife like you?
03:16The same people who used to call me family now sounded vicious.
03:19But I already knew.
03:21Julian never came.
03:22Not once.
03:23It wasn't just his parents.
03:25It was him too.
03:26He thought I was ruined.
03:27Too dirty for him.
03:29I had been raised like a rose.
03:30Then I spent six months rotting alive.
03:33The killers were still free.
03:34I couldn't hold on forever.
03:37But now, I was back.
03:40Back to ten minutes before the massacre.
03:42I crushed down the panic and forced myself to think.
03:45This time, I would not let it happen again.
03:50One killer was already hiding in the cabinet by the foyer.
03:53The other two would show up in ten minutes.
03:55I had to take this one out before they regrouped.
03:58I remembered him.
03:59Short.
04:00A rope on him.
04:01No knife.
04:02No gun.
04:03Three against one.
04:04We could do it.
04:05I leaned close to mom and whispered.
04:08There's a man hiding in the cabinet by the front door.
04:14I felt her body jolt.
04:17She almost turned.
04:19I hugged her tighter.
04:21Don't move.
04:22His partners are still outside.
04:24If we spook them now, we're dead.
04:25Just act normal.
04:27Then, louder.
04:29I played it off.
04:31Keep packing candy.
04:32She caught on fast.
04:43Her hands kept moving.
04:45She even put the candy in the wrong bags.
04:47I smiled on purpose.
04:49I'll always be your baby.
04:56Mom got my meaning and reached for her phone.
04:59While I stayed alert.
05:02While I kept talking to mom to distract the man in the cabinet.
05:06I texted dad.
05:07He replied almost at once.
05:09I had less than ten minutes.
05:11That was it.
05:12Lucky for me.
05:13My parents had always trusted me.
05:16The second dad got my message.
05:18He slipped out of the study.
05:25I grabbed the baseball bat and walked to the cabinet.
05:32Then, I yanked the door open.
05:34The shadow shot out.
05:36I swung.
05:37Mom and dad both went white.
05:39But, they recovered fast.
05:41Dad rushed in and drove him into the floor with one hard kick.
05:52At the same time, mom locked the front door.
05:57Once we were sure he couldn't fight back.
05:59Dad pulled the rope from his waist and tied him to a chair.
06:03You little bastards!
06:04Let me go!
06:07When my brothers get here, they'll carve you all up!
06:19That was when I finally saw his face.
06:21Hidden skin.
06:22Yellow teeth.
06:23A stench that made my head hurt.
06:24I remember him.
06:25I slapped him hard.
06:27Not you.
06:29Not your brothers.
06:30I won't spare any of you.
06:32You're crazy!
06:38Just wait.
06:39Vicky Eleanor.
06:40How did you know there was a burglar in the house?
06:42I thought you were joking.
06:44I looked at her.
06:45Eyes burning.
06:46Even when they didn't know if I was right.
06:48They believed me first.
06:49Arthur, I already called the police.
06:51But, it'll take at least 10 more minutes.
06:53The other two are probably outside already.
06:55If we go out there now, we die.
06:57Vicky, then let's stay inside and wait for the police.
07:00Once they get here, those men are finished.
07:07They're desperate men.
07:09And one of them has a gun.
07:10If they see the police coming, they might drag us down with them.
07:14Every detail of that night was carved into my head.
07:17Then it hit me.
07:18The one with the gun is lame.
07:20He walks with a bad leg.
07:21That was why he came out last in my last life.
07:25I took a deep breath.
07:27Right on time.
07:30The pounding got harder.
07:32He was losing patience.
07:34Mom, dad, and I looked at each other.
07:36Then I tightened my grip on the bat and shouted.
07:38Coming!
07:39The knocking stopped.
07:41I walked toward the door.
07:42The closer I got, the harder my heart slammed.
07:53I died at that door once already.
07:55The fear started in my bones and spread fast.
07:58Then a warm hand covered mine.
07:59I looked up.
08:00Don't be scared.
08:02She was right.
08:04What was I scared of?
08:05Mom and dad were alive.
08:07That alone changed everything.
08:08All I had to do was protect the second chance.
08:11They had blocked the peephole.
08:13The second the door cracked open, he punched me with a knife.
08:17Mom threw a full bottle of chili powder in his face.
08:20He screamed and thought in his eyes.
08:22I brought the bat down on his knife and the peephole came out.
08:26Then Derek came out of the dark, gun in hand, limping toward me.
08:30The second I saw the gun, I was right back in my last life.
08:36Mom's voice snapped me back.
08:38Eleanor.
08:38I bit my lip until I tasted blood and screamed.
08:42The house went black.
08:43We had killed the power.
08:45The dark slowed Derek down.
08:47It didn't slow me down.
08:48I kept swinging at him.
08:50Again and again.
08:51Until he stopped moving.
08:54Enough, Eleanor.
08:55The other one's coming.
08:56Mom grabbed my arm.
08:58Only then did I wake up.
09:00My hatred had swallowed me whole.
09:01Mom slammed the door shut again.
09:03Then a shot rang out.
09:05The lock blew apart.
09:06He was inside.
09:07You hurt my brother.
09:09Now come out and die.
09:11If we held out a few more minutes, the police would get here.
09:14Then my phone rang.
09:17Found you.
09:23The bullet hit where the phone was ringing.
09:26Then someone let out a little guy.
09:30Derek froze.
09:32John?
09:33Was that you?
09:34The bound man on the chair made a strangled sound.
09:37Derek finally yanked the rag from his mouth.
09:40They knew we were coming!
09:42They were waiting for us!
09:44So somebody tipped them off.
09:46No way.
09:47Unless he...
10:03John didn't dare talk back.
10:05Derek bent to untie him.
10:07Then a shadow flashed past the doorway.
10:09He reacted fast.
10:11Raised the gun and fired again and again at the shape in the dark.
10:14When the body dropped and stopped moving, he turned back to the rope.
10:18Only now he couldn't get it loose.
10:20He kept making it tighter.
10:22Damn it!
10:22Can you do anything right?
10:24It's pitch black!
10:25Idiot!
10:26I can't see!
10:27Then use your phone light!
10:29He grunted and switched on the flashlight.
10:31Gun in one hand.
10:32Rope in the other.
10:33A shadow rose behind him.
10:35John barely got out a warning.
10:37Derek spun and pulled the trigger.
10:39Dad!
10:40I saw his face in that split second.
10:42I ran before I could think.
10:44I had fought too hard.
10:45I had come back too far.
10:47I could not lose him again.
10:49But the shot never came.
10:50Derek looked down at the gun and cursed.
10:53Out of bullets.
10:54Dad raised a heavy rosewood chair and brought it down on him.
10:57A dull crack.
10:58A grunt of pain.
10:59Derek collapsed.
11:02Not already?
11:04Then it's my turn.
11:07Dad smashed the trigger down again.
11:09Derek hit the floor.
11:12I just stood there.
11:14Stunned.
11:15The three men who destroyed my life.
11:17All of them were down.
11:18Then the sirens came.
11:20The police finally arrived.
11:21They moved fast.
11:23The killers were cuffed and dragged away.
11:25I had changed the ending.
11:27My knees gave out.
11:29I sank to the floor and started crying.
11:32Mom pulled me into her arms.
11:35The pain of my last life slowly eased in her arms.
11:38I nodded hard.
11:39Yes.
11:40The ending had changed.
11:42There was nothing left to fear.
11:44Kane was dead.
11:45Killed by Derek's own bullet.
11:46As for John and Derek, the police took them both.
11:49It's over.
11:50It's all over.
11:54The killers were caught.
11:55But we still had to give statements and help put them away for good.
12:00That was when I learned the truth.
12:02Those three men had more than 10 murders tied to them already.
12:05From the start, they never meant to leave anyone alive.
12:08So why had I survived in my last life?
12:11Was it really just luck?
12:13Only the police could answer that now.
12:17Dad.
12:18You knew he had a gun.
12:20Why did you still risk it?
12:22I thought I was about to lose him again.
12:25Dad stroked my hair.
12:26His smile softened.
12:30Silly girl.
12:31I counted his bullets.
12:33That old Mauser only held 10 rounds.
12:37I baited him into emptying it.
12:39Then I moved.
12:44Don't worry.
12:46Your father doesn't gamble with his life.
12:50I still have a wife and daughter to protect.
12:59I threw myself into his arms and sobbed.
13:01Not just for this life.
13:03For the last one too.
13:04In both lives.
13:09My parents had stood beside me.
13:14Once I finally calmed down.
13:16They asked the question that had been hanging in the air.
13:20After something like this.
13:22Should we postpone the wedding?
13:24The second they said Julian's name.
13:26My hands curled into fists.
13:28In my last life.
13:29After my family was butchered.
13:31He never came once.
13:33Later.
13:33When my photos flooded the internet.
13:36The Shaws called off the engagement.
13:38Then they joined hands with others.
13:39And swallowed my father's company whole.
13:41I couldn't even pay my hospital bills.
13:43No one would hire me.
13:45The only thing that kept me alive was revenge.
13:47But the killers vanished like smoke.
13:49Every night.
13:50I replayed the massacre in my head.
13:52Hunting for one clue I had missed.
13:55Then I remembered the delivery man's words.
13:57Mr. Shaw.
13:58Had Julian planned it?
14:05He had the motive.
14:06And maybe the power to make people disappear.
14:16I had no proof.
14:19So I couldn't accuse him yet.
14:24Last life.
14:27And found him holding the woman who used to be my best friend.
14:31They were wrapped around each other.
14:33Flirting in broad daylight.
14:35Elanon?
14:38Why?
14:43I demanded to know why they had betrayed me.
14:51Take a good look at yourself.
14:53You think you're still some untouchable heiress?
15:00You're lower than a hooker now.
15:02At least hookers get paid.
15:04You got used for free.
15:10Julian only smiled.
15:11People gathered and stared.
15:13So that's the rich girl?
15:15She doesn't look like much.
15:16No wonder.
15:17She got passed around.
15:19If those men raped her.
15:20Maybe she wanted it.
15:22Maybe she was just good and bad.
15:24You want to try?
15:25Hell no.
15:26I'd be scared of catching something.
15:32Did you hear about Eleanor?
15:35The gossip nearly broke me.
15:37I ran.
15:39Later.
15:39They held a lavish wedding.
15:45And I lived like a rat.
15:47Hiding.
15:48Filthy.
15:49Half dead.
15:56Julian and Maya are now husband and wife.
16:00Just thinking about it made my skin crawl.
16:03Dad.
16:04I don't want to marry Julian.
16:06Can I call it off?
16:07It had been a love match.
16:09At least.
16:10That was what I used to believe.
16:12He chased me first.
16:13Only later did I learn he had picked me for the company behind my name.
16:17I had been stupid enough to mistake strategy for love.
16:20Not this time.
16:21And if Julian really was the man behind my family's murder.
16:24Then he wasn't my fiancé.
16:26He was my enemy.
16:31If you don't want to marry him then you won't.
16:34You've been sensible your whole life.
16:36You never gave your mother or me trouble.
16:42Dad.
16:45What if I'm just being petty?
16:49He paused.
16:50Then smiled.
16:52If you don't want to marry him then you won't.
16:55You've been sensible your whole life.
16:57You never gave your mother or me trouble.
17:03Besides, you're my daughter.
17:05If you want to be a little difficult then be difficult.
17:08If the sky falls I'll hold it up.
17:12I almost cried again.
17:17No matter what happened, my parents stood with me.
17:21The breakup reached the Shaw family fast.
17:24Julian refused to accept it.
17:25He called non-stop.
17:27I blocked him.
17:29Then he started waiting outside my house.
17:32Want me to throw him out?
17:34No.
17:35I need to end this face to face.
17:38Dad wanted to throw him out.
17:39But I knew Julian.
17:44Eleanor, I know a lot has happened.
17:48But I can face it with you.
17:50Please don't leave me.
17:54If I didn't end this face to face, he would never stop.
17:58Not when I was the merger he had handpicked.
18:00So I agreed to meet him at a cafe nearby.
18:03He saw me and his eyes lit up.
18:06Eleanor, you came.
18:11He reached for my bag.
18:12I pulled back.
18:14He looked awkward.
18:15Almost hurt.
18:16But all I could see was the man from my last life.
18:19The one with the rotten mouth.
18:20He wanted the Vale family business from the start.
18:23How could I not suspect him now?
18:25Still, I had no proof.
18:27He was a very good actor.
18:30No.
18:31I came to tell you in person.
18:32The engagement is over.
18:34I'm informing you.
18:35Not asking.
18:39Eleanor, this is what I dummied.
18:42If you came, doesn't that mean you still care?
18:49Can you at least tell me why?
18:53Did something happen that night?
18:55You said that night.
18:56Does that mean you already knew something was going to happen?
19:00If I hadn't lived through that last life,
19:02I might have believed him.
19:04I stared at him.
19:07He was still my biggest suspect.
19:10He had motive.
19:11And he had the means to bury the truth.
19:13He looked stunned.
19:15I...
19:16How could you think that?
19:18If I had known, I would have gone to save you.
19:20I swear.
19:21They can't something in all way, but that will never happen again.
19:24He sounded sincere.
19:26Too sincere.
19:27Maybe he was innocent.
19:30That will never happen again.
19:32Maybe he was lying straight to my face.
19:35But the killers had already been caught.
19:38If he really was behind it,
19:40shouldn't he be scrambling to cover his tracks?
19:43Unless he was sure the police would never get anything out of them.
19:46The killers had said they were all tied together.
19:49That meant leverage.
19:50Mutual dirt.
19:52And yet the police still had not called Julian in.
19:56Had I guessed wrong?
19:58Stayinfeld.
19:59Stayinfeld.
19:59Stay playing.
19:59Bye-bye.
19:59Peace.
19:59Bye-bye.
20:00Bye.
