Short filmTranscript
00:03I was Manhattan's most spoiled heiress, until my award-winning actor brother sent me to a reality show called Rich
00:12Girls Reformed.
00:13I slept in a pig pen covered in manure for three months, fighting dogs for scraps of food.
00:19Any resistance meant being dunked in water tanks, or worse, Electro Shack.
00:24The only thing keeping me alive was the mute old man who delivered the meals.
00:28He'd snuck me medicine, listened to me cry, and begged my brother to save me.
00:33He even promised to help me escape.
00:35I swore that once I got out, I'd tell my brother I'd learned my lesson.
00:39Until that day, when my high fever triggered a heart attack, and I collapsed in the mud, convulsing.
00:45I saw the mute old man I'd clung to as my lifeline reach up and tear off his mud-caked
00:50wig and mask, revealing my fiance's face.
00:53This is what you get for drugging Sofia, even if it was just a laxedent.
00:59These three months in the pig pet should make up for the scare you gave her.
01:03Director cut the cameras. Sofia says she can't bear watching me act and suffer. She feels bad.
01:08I watched my fiance walk away with his arm around the scholarship girl. My heart stopped beating.
01:15Sofia finally got what she wanted. From the moment we met, she made it clear.
01:19Girls like me didn't deserve what we were born into. Too rich, too spoiled, too empty-headed, in her words.
01:27One day, she said, she would take it all. And she did. It didn't take schemes or grand plans. Just
01:34two years of quiet performances.
01:36A stumble here. A trembling voice there. A well-timed tear. Every time, it ended the same.
01:42My brother at her side. My fiance just behind him. Both looking at me like I was something rotten.
01:48All she ever had to do was make it seem like I hurt her. And really, who would believe otherwise?
01:54A rich heiress bullied by a scholarship girl who was gentle and hard-working? Of course not.
02:00In their eyes, it could only ever be the other way around. I floated above, looking down at myself lying
02:06in the filth,
02:07covered in pig shit, fingernails caked with mud.
02:10Cut! Perfect! Absolutely perfect! That dying look in her eyes is incredible! Quick, get a close-up!
02:19A dozen cameras instantly zoomed in on my face. A pair of fancy leather shoes stopped beside my face.
02:25Lucas Carter, my fiancee.
02:28Alright, stop pretending. The director called cut. Why are you still lying there? Getting addicted to acting?
02:33Seeing no reaction from me, he casually nudged my face with his foot. The corpse swayed with the force of
02:39his nudge, but didn't respond.
02:40Lucas frowned, then crouched down to check if I was still breathing.
02:45What the heck?!
02:48Vivian, are you holding your breath this long just to get sympathy?
02:52Looks like these three months in the pig pen weren't wasted. Your lung capacity's really improved.
02:56I'm not pretending! Lucas, I'm actually dead! Look at me!
03:04Don't be so harsh on her.
03:08She worked really hard this time to make it up to me.
03:11Look at her makeup. So dirty.
03:14If you didn't know better, you'd think she actually lived in the countryside.
03:17Applause came from nearby. My brother, award-winning actor Ethan Ashford, emerged from behind the monitors.
03:25Not bad. These three months weren't wasted.
03:29Use this fake death scene in the trailer.
03:32Title it, The Mean Girl's Repentance.
03:35This final scene, she acted better than she ever has before.
03:39I almost believed it.
03:41Ethan, this isn't acting.
03:44I'm really in pain. I'm really, really dead.
03:49Mr. Ashford, should we wake Miss Ashford now?
03:54Don't let her bring those filthy clothes into my car. It's disgusting.
03:58Sophia hasn't been feeling well lately. She can't handle the smell.
04:01Then, find a trash bag. Throw her in the trunk.
04:05Since she likes playing dead so much, let her play dead all the way home.
04:08At least it'll spare me from listening to her fake crying.
04:11Yes, sir.
04:12I watched two stage hands lift my stiff corpse and stuff it into a trash bag.
04:17Lucas was wiping raindrops from Sophia's hair. He didn't look at me once.
04:21The trunk slammed shut. The car started. A trail of blood silently drenched the bag.
04:27I floated nearby, almost wanting to laugh. I remembered when I was 18, I accidentally bumped my head in the
04:33car.
04:34Ethan didn't say a word. He smashed the corpse.
04:37He'd said,
04:37Why keep something that hurt our Vivian?
04:40But now, my corpse was being knocked around in the trunk.
04:43Ethan, were you acting back then too? Or is it that once Sophia appeared, your own sister deserved to be
04:49thrown away like this?
04:51Ethan, do you think Vivian will be mad at us for putting her in the trunk when she wakes up?
04:56Ethan drove with a cold snort.
04:58She doesn't get a choice.
05:01Once we're home, I have ways to keep her from throwing a tantrum.
05:04Tomorrow's apology press conference is already arranged.
05:08If she dares to mess it up, I'll send her right back to these mountains for another three months.
05:13She'd better know her place.
05:16Sophia was hospitalized for three days because of that laxative.
05:19These three months of suffering barely make up for it.
05:23I floated above the car, watching these three people.
05:26I never put laxatives in that drink.
05:29Sophia stole my heart medication, then accused me of trying to poison her.
05:33No one believed me, and I can't explain anymore.
05:36The car bumped along the road, my corpse rattling in the trunk the whole way.
05:40Ethan got out without calling the servants.
05:43He opened the trunk and grabbed the trash bag with one hand, dragging it out.
05:47My head hit each step as he dragged me up the stairs.
05:50My soul trembled.
05:51I reached out to protect my head.
05:54Ah!
05:54Ethan!
05:55Be gentle!
05:56That's my head!
05:58Really heavy.
06:00Playing dead pretty thoroughly.
06:02Not making a sound.
06:03He dragged the trash bag into the living room and dropped it on the rug.
06:06The zipper opened, revealing my mud-covered face, eyes closed, lips purple.
06:12Alright, we're home.
06:15Stop pretending.
06:17Get up and wash yourself off.
06:20Don't dirty the carpet.
06:21Is she really unconscious?
06:23Her face looks so scary.
06:26That's special effects makeup.
06:28Weren't you there on set?
06:29She fakes passing out all the time to get out of work.
06:31The doctor said she's in perfect health.
06:33This level of cold won't kill her.
06:35Ethan lost his patience.
06:36He walked over to the thermostat and turned it down to the lowest setting.
06:39Want to play dead?
06:40Then lie there.
06:41No one gives her a blanket tonight.
06:43Let's see how long she can keep it up.
06:45With that, all three went to their rooms, leaving only the cold air blowing over my corpse.
06:50I floated in mid-air, looking at my body lying alone on the floor,
06:54watching the lividity spread across my neck and the back of my arms.
06:58Early in the morning, the Ashford family's styling team arrived.
07:02Today was the apology press conference Ethan had arranged for me,
07:05live-streamed to the whole country.
07:07The makeup artist touched my hand.
07:10Jesus!
07:11So cold!
07:12She looked at Sophia.
07:14Miss White, Miss Ashford's temperature?
07:16Is she really okay?
07:17Oh, she spent three months freezing in the mountains.
07:20Of course she's cold.
07:21Plus she trained herself to withstand cold for the pathetic effect.
07:25Don't make a fuss.
07:27Just put more blush on her.
07:28That complexion is awful.
07:30Put these purple marks on her skin.
07:32Those are bruises from falling in the mountains.
07:34Cover them with foundation.
07:36Today's theme is rebirth.
07:38Don't let people see her looking like a corpse and embarrass the Ashford family.
07:41The makeup artist didn't dare argue.
07:43She grabbed concealer and started smearing it on my face.
07:46I watched from the side, finding it almost funny.
07:49Concealer could cover lividity, but not the smell of death.
07:53This outfit reeks.
07:55Change her clothes.
07:55Put her in this one.
07:56It was the style Sophia had rejected.
07:59A size too small.
08:00Two assistants came over to help change my clothes.
08:03But there was a problem.
08:04Because of rigor mortis, my limbs were stiff.
08:07Mr. Ashford, Miss Ashford is too stiff.
08:09She won't cooperate.
08:11Like, she is dead.
08:14She won't cooperate.
08:16We can't bend her arms.
08:18Ethan's face darkened.
08:19Vivian!
08:20How long are you going to keep this up?
08:22Won't even put on clothes?
08:23Do you want to apologize naked?
08:24The corpse naturally didn't answer him.
08:26Lucas frowned and strode over.
08:29Since she wants to be stubborn, don't blame me for not be gentle.
08:33He grabbed my stiff left arm and yanked it outward.
08:37I floated in midair, instinctively clutching my arm and screaming.
08:40Then I remembered.
08:42I was dead.
08:43My body couldn't feel pain anymore.
08:47Hmph.
08:48Strong grip.
08:50Playing the virtual murder?
08:51Hurry up and dress her!
08:53The assistants trembled as they pulled the pink dress onto my corpse.
08:56To hide the twisted arm, they folded my hands across my abdomen.
08:59After all the manipulation, I'd been handled like a doll with no dignity.
09:04Lipstick covered my purple lips.
09:06Foundation hid my pallor.
09:07A ribbon bow concealed the dog collar marks on my neck.
09:10That's better.
09:12Looks like these three months weren't wasted.
09:14Knocked that nasty temper right out of her.
09:17As long as she doesn't talk, she's still the good little sister she used to be.
09:22When we get to the venue, if you dare mess up or say the wrong thing,
09:26I'll make sure you spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair.
09:28Don't worry, Ethan.
09:30I'll be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life anyway.
09:33And I'll never speak again.
09:35Let's go.
09:36Don't keep the reporters waiting.
09:37The sunlight was blinding, but I felt no warmth.
09:39The ballroom backstage was packed with reporters.
09:42Sophia had changed into a white haute couture gown.
09:45She had the makeup artist give her a pitiful victim look.
09:48While Ethan and Lucas were schmoozing with the media, Sophia walked over to my wheelchair.
09:53Vivian, you're so quiet today.
09:55I like it.
09:57Didn't you love calling me a bitch before?
09:59Why so quiet now?
10:00Running out of energy?
10:01Don't worry, there's an even bigger surprise waiting for you on stage.
10:05Seeing no reaction from me, Sophia pouted.
10:08You can really take it.
10:09But I guess you should behave.
10:11You're about to lose your engagement anyway.
10:14Lose my engagement?
10:15I jerked my head up to look at Lucas.
10:17He was standing in the spotlight, turning to say something to Ethan.
10:20I floated over and heard it clearly.
10:22Today's perfect.
10:23With the live stream, the whole country can witness it.
10:26I'm cutting this stain loose, completely.
10:29Ethan was silent for a moment, glancing at me in the corner.
10:32She brought this on herself, can't blame anyone else.
10:35My soul felt that sharp pain again.
10:37So, in your minds, I'm not even worth a title.
10:40I don't even deserve basic human dignity.
10:42Three, two, one, action.
10:45The spotlight came on.
10:47I was wheeled onto the stage.
10:48Because I was strapped in, I sat perfectly straight.
10:51That's the Ashford heiress?
10:53She looks like a model.
10:54Heard she slept in a pig pen for three months, probably brain damaged.
10:57They say she was so arrogant before, even drugged the scholarship girl.
11:00Those vicious whispers drilled into my ears, every single one.
11:03Ethan picked up the microphone.
11:04His face full of regret.
11:06Ladies and gentlemen of the press, everyone online, hello.
11:10I'm Ethan Ashfield.
11:11Today's live stream has only one purpose.
11:14Repentance.
11:14My sister Vivian, out of jealousy and selfishness, caused tremendous harm to our company's artist,
11:19Sophia White.
11:20After three months of reconformation, she's deeply recognized her mistakes.
11:24Today, she's here in front of the entire country to apologize to Sophia.
11:27The comments exploded.
11:29Ethan Ashford standing up to family.
11:31So inspiring.
11:32This is proper elite family discipline.
11:34Ethan turned around, walked up to me, blocking half the cameras.
11:38With his back to the audience, he hissed.
11:40Stop playing dead.
11:44Speak.
11:45Tell everyone what you did wrong.
11:47I didn't respond, so he reached out and pinched the soft flesh of my arm.
11:51The corpse swayed with the force.
11:53Ethan, don't be like this.
11:55She's probably too ashamed to speak.
11:56It's okay.
11:57I forgive her.
11:58She picked up a glass of red wine and forced it into my broken hand.
12:05Vivian, drink this, and we'll still be sisters.
12:08The wine glass tilted, wine falling into my dress.
12:11I'm sorry.
12:13Sophia looked hurt toward the camera.
12:15I guess she still won't forgive me.
12:18Too much.
12:18Sophia's being so humble and she's still putting on airs.
12:21This woman's hopeless.
12:23Mr. Ashford, send her to a psych room.
12:26Lucas took the microphone and strode to center stage, standing beside my wheelchair.
12:31Since Ms. Ashford insists on protesting with silence, I don't need to save face for you anymore.
12:38He pulled a velvet box from his pocket.
12:40For a moment, my heart flickered with hope.
12:43Was it our engagement ring?
12:44He opened the box.
12:46Inside was a brand new pink diamond ring.
12:48Lucas turned around, and in front of me, in front of tens of millions of viewers online, he knelt on
12:54one knee before Sophia.
12:56Ms. Sophia White, for the past three years, you've been by my side.
13:01Your kindness, your purity, that's what the lady of the Carter family should be like.
13:08This vicious, unrepentant woman who only knows how to put on an act, doesn't deserve to enter the Carter family.
13:14Every word lashed my soul.
13:16He stood beside my corpse and proposed to another woman.
13:20He trampled my dignity into the dirt in front of the entire country, then ground it in deeper.
13:27Lucas!
13:28Lucas!
13:28The reporter started chanting.
13:29Lucas pulled out the simple engagement ring that had been mine.
13:32He casually tossed it.
13:34Clang!
13:34The ring fell into a nearby trash can.
13:37From today on, Sophia is my only fiancé.
13:39He took Sophia's hand and slid the pink diamond onto her finger.
13:43Then, he lowered his head and kissed her deeply.
13:48Three years ago, Lucas had knelt in the snow for three days and nights to propose to me.
13:55Vivian, this ring is my life.
13:58Once you wear it, my life belongs to you.
14:01Turns out your life is pretty worthless.
14:03After Sophia came along, you kept saying I'd changed.
14:06But I didn't change.
14:07You just gave her all the patience and love you used to give me.
14:10The ring in the trash, along with the Lucas who once said he loved me,
14:14both rotting here together.
14:16The number of online users is still rising and has already broken the platform record.
14:19The live stream had broken the platform's record for viewership.
14:23Hairpash Carter Luca public.
14:24Hairpash when Kuj refuses to apology.
14:26Ashwin Sophia White takes over.
14:28All three hashtags instantly dominated the top trending topics.
14:39Move! Everyone move!
14:41Get out of my way!
14:44It was Dr. William, the Ashford family doctor who'd watched me grow up.
14:48Dr. William, what are you doing here?
14:50Mrs. Ashford, she told me to check on Vivian.
14:54Why hasn't she moved at all? Is she sick?
14:57Sick? What sick?
14:59She's just pretending to sleep.
15:00I've seen this attention-seeking act a thousand times.
15:05Dr. William, don't let her fool you.
15:07Give her a shot and make her get up right now.
15:09Lucas, with his arm around Sophia, added,
15:12Perfect timing, Dr. William.
15:14Expose her act in front of everyone and let them see just how shameless this Miss Ashford can be clinging
15:20to an engagement.
15:21Dr. William froze, staring at the figure in the wheelchair. His face changed.
15:26I need to examine her first.
15:28Under pressure from Ethan and Lucas, Dr. William had no choice but to walk shakily onto the stage.
15:35Everyone waited to see the spectacle, to see the evil woman get jabbed with a needle and wake up humiliated.
15:41Dr. William approached the wheelchair and called out, no response.
15:44He reached out to feel the wrist resting on my abdomen.
15:47The moment he touched that ice-cold skin, his face turned white.
15:51His hands started trembling.
15:53He moved from the wrist to the pulse.
15:55No heartbeat.
15:56This, this, Dr. William couldn't believe it.
15:59What's wrong?
16:01Did you find her acting too convincing, even fooling you?
16:04Stop the act, Dr. William!
16:05Just give her the shot!
16:07Lost your voice?
16:08Speak!
16:08Tell everyone she's faking!
16:11Faking!
16:12She can't fake anymore!
16:14Mr. Ashfield!
16:15Mr. Carter!
16:16Can't you see?
16:18She's already dead!
16:22This is liberty!
16:23This is rigor mortis!
16:25You, you've been forcing a corpse to apologize this whole time!
16:30Dead?
16:31Dr. William, you've lost your mind.
16:33Lucas let go of Sophia's hand.
16:35Stop playing along with Vivian's sick games.
16:38Livesee?
16:39I think she just put on special effects makeup.
16:42Vivian, stop pretending!
16:44Get off!
16:45Don't touch her!
16:46Are you blind?
16:47Feel her hand?
16:49Look at her eyes!
16:50What living person looks like this?
16:53Dr. William's tears fell as he untied the bow at my neck with shaking hands.
16:58Under the bow, a circle of purple-black ligature marks around my neck.
17:02As the concealer rubbed off, slight giant cell formation appeared on the side of my neck.
17:07A female reporter in the front row covered her mouth, dry heaving.
17:11The livestream chat exploded.
17:13Holy shit!
17:14That's actual lividity!
17:15I'm a forensic student!
17:17That's definitely not makeup!
17:18That neck!
17:19My god, what did she go through?
17:21Is Ethan insane?
17:23He made a corpse apologize on livestream!
17:25They killed her!
17:26The elites killed someone!
17:28Ethan stared at the black marks on my neck.
17:31No.
17:32Impossible.
17:34He staggered backwards, knocking over the champagne tower.
17:38She was alive yesterday!
17:39When I dragged her home yesterday, she groaned!
17:41I heard it!
17:42I really heard it!
17:43I floated above, watching him.
17:45Tears streaming, watching him.
17:47Ethan, that wasn't me groaning.
17:49That was the sound of air being forced from my lungs when my head hit the stairs.
17:53Someone call the police!
17:55Get an ambulance!
17:56Hurry!
17:56Workers sprang into action.
17:59Lucas, what do we do?
18:00If she's really dead, then we...
18:03Cut the livestream!
18:04Security!
18:04Get these reporters out!
18:05I dare anyone to move!
18:07Ethan Ashford, Lucas Carter, I think you need to come with us.
18:12He collapsed among the broken glass.
18:14He stared at my lifeless face, the sister he'd doted on for 20 years.
18:18Yesterday, he'd dragged her home like trash.
18:21Today, he'd forced her to kneel and apologize to someone else.
18:24And now the police were telling him she'd been dead all along.
18:27When the coroner took me away, Ethan tried to rush forward but was held back by two officers.
18:32Vivian!
18:33Vivian, don't sleep!
18:35I was wrong!
18:36Please open your eyes and look at me!
18:38My parents rushed back that night.
18:40When they saw the body in the morgue, my mom fainted on the spot and was rushed to the ER.
18:45Lucas and Sophia were detained in the interrogation room.
18:48The coroner paused, looking at Ethan.
18:50The deceased suffered severe external abuse.
18:53Stomach contents showed only small amounts of pig feed and mud.
18:57Most critically, we detected large quantities of powerful hallucinates in the deceased system.
19:02This drug makes people feel pain magnified ten times while conscious.
19:06The deceased died of a heart attack caused by long-term malnutrition, extreme physical abuse, and massive doses of hallucinarians.
19:14Ethan's head snapped up, bloodshot eyes wide.
19:18What did you say?
19:19Hallucinotics?
19:20Yes.
19:21That's why her acting seemed so real when she was being tortured.
19:24Because she was really in pain.
19:26In so much pain, she wanted to die, but didn't even have the strength to beg.
19:30What you thought was acting was her instinct to survive in hell.
19:36Ethan rushed to the toilet, violently vomiting bile.
19:44He remembered those three months.
19:46He'd sat behind the monitors, watching me convulse in the mud pit.
19:51Watching me get dunked in water tanks until I couldn't breathe.
19:55What had he been doing then?
19:57He'd been laughing.
19:59He'd clinked glasses with Lucas and said,
20:04Finally knocked some sense into the brat.
20:08She was just too spoiled before.
20:12Turns out it wasn't being spoiled.
20:14It was pain magnified ten times over.
20:19There's also this.
20:21The captain walked in with a USB drive.
20:23We found this in the director's safe when we searched the production company for the unedited raw footage.
20:27Mr. Ashford, you might want to brace yourself.
20:31The projector turned on, casting images on the white wall.
20:35The screen showed a mountain pig pen.
20:38The instructor poured spoiled rice on the ground and stepped on it.
20:42Eat!
20:44Ms. Ashfield, isn't this how you used to feed stray dogs?
20:47You can give it a try today.
20:49I was chained by the neck, crawling on the ground.
20:52I was so delirious with hunger, I crawled over and licked the rice off the ground with my tongue.
20:58The instructor laughed and kicked me in the ribs.
21:01That's disgusting!
21:02If that Ethan saw you like this, his face would surely turn green.
21:06Ethan gripped the table edge so hard, his nails broke off, blood dripping.
21:10The scene changed to Sophia.
21:12She wore a hazmat suit, holding a paddle bra.
21:15Vivian, this electric current is a bit strong.
21:17Try to bear it, okay?
21:18I convulsed violently, foaming at the mouth.
21:22Sophia smiled.
21:23Oh Lucas, look how beautifully she dances.
21:26Record it, send it to that idiot Ethan.
21:29Tell him she's practicing break dancing.
21:31Lucas patted her head.
21:33As long as you're happy, play however you want.
21:36Ethan signed the liability waiver anyway.
21:38As long as she doesn't die, any torture counts as programmed content.
21:41The final scene showed my last moments before death.
21:44Ethan dropped to his knees, hands over his head, wailing.
21:48He'd lost his mind.
21:50He'd personally sent his sister to hell.
21:53Not only had he signed the waiver, he'd provided all the funding.
21:56He was the murderer.
21:59When police were clearing out my belongings, they found something hard in the lining of my cotton coat.
22:04It was a small recording pen, wrapped in three layers of plastic bags, and sewn into the deepest part of
22:10the garment.
22:11The detective captain pressed play in front of Ethan and my parents, who had just regained consciousness.
22:17After a crackling sound, Lucas and Sophia's voices came through.
22:21Sophia.
22:21Lucas, why won't she just die already?
22:23We already doubled the dose.
22:27Be patient.
22:28Once she's dead, the inheritance goes to Ethan.
22:31Then we follow the plan.
22:32What plan?
22:32The recording continued with Lucas's voice.
22:35That idiot Ethan sure is ruthless with his sister.
22:37Once Vivian dies, go comfort him and do his grief for a few days.
22:40Then slip him some slow-acting neurotox.
22:42It's tasteless and odorless.
22:43It'll just make him look like he had a mental breakdown in grief.
22:46Aw, that's so sad.
22:48But for the Ashford family's billions, we'll have to sacrifice Ethan.
22:52He's just an actor anyway.
22:54He has no clue how to run a business.
22:57The Ashford empire will be ours.
22:59As long as we get Vivian to sign that post to be a stock transfer agreement, Ethan becomes useless.
23:05I pretended to be the mute old man to give her hope, just to watch her fall from heaven into
23:08hell.
23:09Sorry.
23:10That's the fun part.
23:11The sound of kissing came through the recording.
23:13You are still the smart one.
23:15That frame job was brilliant.
23:17Taking laxatives to frame Vivian, that turned Ethan the sister complicate to our knife.
23:21If Vivian knew her brother sent her to die just to defend you, she'd never forgive him even as a
23:25ghost.
23:26Sorry.
23:26My dad clutched his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed.
23:31What a disaster.
23:33We invited wolves into our home.
23:36Invited wolves!
23:37Mom pounded on Ethan.
23:39It was you!
23:41You killed Vivian!
23:42She was protecting you!
23:44She stayed there to get evidence!
23:46You monster!
23:47Give me back my daughter!
23:49Ethan let mom beat him.
23:50He'd thought I was evil, jealous of Sophia.
23:54He'd thought he was educating me, reforming me.
23:58In reality, I was trading my life for a chance to expose their true faces.
24:04During those three months, every time they stepped on my face,
24:08every time Sophia jabbed me with the cattle prod,
24:11I repeated to myself,
24:13Hold on Vivian.
24:15Just hold on.
24:17Once you get the recording, Ethan will be safe.
24:20I did it.
24:22I protected my brother.
24:23I protected the Ashford family.
24:26The price was rotting in the dirt.
24:28Treated like garbage by the person I loved most.
24:32I'm a monster.
24:33Ethan suddenly started laughing.
24:35Laughing while crying.
24:37He grabbed the fruit knife from the table and stabbed it toward his neck.
24:41Stop him!
24:42The captain shouted and knocked the knife away.
24:45Ethan collapsed on the floor, slapping himself over and over.
24:49Don't stop me.
24:50Let me die.
24:51Let me go apologize to Vivian.
24:54Let me die.
24:55Die?
24:56Death would be too easy for you.
24:59Your sister gave her life to protect the Ashford family.
25:03Instead of figuring out how to defend it and make the killers pay, you just want to die?
25:08Ethan Ashford, that life of yours belongs to your sister.
25:12You have to live with it and suffer.
25:16The evidence was irrefutable.
25:18When Sophia was arrested, she fought desperately.
25:21I'm innocent.
25:22Lucas forced me to do everything.
25:25I'm a victim.
25:26I have a heart condition.
25:27You can't arrest me.
25:29Heart condition?
25:30Ethan pulled out a document.
25:31Sophia White, your medical records from abroad show your heart is stronger than a bull's.
25:37Your so-called congenital myocarditis was completely fabricated for sympathy.
25:43Sophia's face went deathly pale.
25:46No.
25:47Ethan.
25:48Let me explain.
25:50Don't call me that.
25:52Ethan's voice was hoarse.
25:53You don't deserve it.
25:55And that laxative.
25:56Ethan threw a restored surveillance video in her face.
25:59The footage showed Sophia putting laxatives in the yogurt herself, then drinking it.
26:05Vivian never tried to hurt you.
26:06Never.
26:07Each word was agonizing for Ethan.
26:09You were always the one hurting her.
26:12And I, I was your accomplice.
26:14Ethan suddenly reached out and grabbed Sophia by the throat.
26:17Help!
26:18Help!
26:18Sophia rolled her eyes, clawing at Ethan's hands.
26:21Police rushed forward and pulled Ethan off.
26:24Mr. Ashford, the law will judge her.
26:26You can't take matters into your own hands.
26:29Sophia collapsed on the ground, gasping for air.
26:32Hair disheveled, makeup smeared.
26:34She was handcuffed and dragged to the police car.
26:37Before getting in, a rotten egg hit her face.
26:40It was thrown by one of Ethan's fans who used to curse me endlessly.
26:44Give Vivian Ashford back!
26:46You witch!
26:47Sophia screamed as she was taken away.
26:49Waiting for her was a murder conviction and the death penalty.
26:53To save the family business, Lucas' father issued an overnight statement disowning his son and freezing all of Lucas' assets.
27:01But that wasn't enough.
27:02Ethan used every connection he had to get Lucas sent to the most violent cell block in detention.
27:07And he told the cell boss, this man loves abusing women and making people eat rotten food.
27:12On Lucas' first day inside, he was forced to eat a bucket of food scooped from the toilet.
27:18When he refused, they broke two of his ribs.
27:21He tried to call for help, but his voice had been poisoned mute.
27:24Ethan had sent in the extra meal.
27:26Just like the mute old man Lucas had pretended to be on the show, this time he really became mute.
27:32On trial day, Lucas was carried into court.
27:35He was skeletal.
27:36Old injuries layered with new ones.
27:38Seeing Ethan in the gallery, his eyes showed bleeding.
27:41He opened his mouth wide, making ABBA ABBA sounds.
27:44But no one could understand.
27:46The judge announced the verdict.
27:48The defendant, Lucas Carter, with multiple counts, is sentenced to death with immediate execution.
27:54Hearing death penalty, Lucas' eyes rolled back and he wet himself.
27:58He was dragged out.
27:59Before execution, Ethan requested one final visit.
28:03Through the glass, Ethan held up my portrait.
28:05In the photo, I smiled brightly, eyes full of light.
28:09Vivian says she doesn't forgive you.
28:11Ethan looked into Lucas' terrified eyes, enunciating each word.
28:15She says hell is too cold.
28:17She wants you to go down there and be her dog.
28:19Lucas kowtowed frantically, head bleeding.
28:22But Ethan simply turned and left.
28:24In that moment, Lucas finally understood despair.
28:28Lucas died.
28:29Sophia got life imprisonment.
28:30The Ashford family built a memorial garden for me on the Mountain Village site.
28:34They planted it full of sunflowers I loved.
28:37Award-winning actor Ethan Ashford retired at his career peak and disappeared from public view.
28:42He moved into the basement of the mansion.
28:45It had been renovated into a one-to-one replica of the pig pen.
28:48Late at night, he would hallucinate.
28:51To experience my pain, he even injected himself with the same hallucinogens.
28:56Vivian.
28:57He murmured in his dreams.
28:59Forehead drenched in cold sweat.
29:01Body convulsing in pain.
29:03It hurt so much.
29:05It hurt this much.
29:07How did you bear it?
29:09How did you bear it?
29:11He reached out, grasping at empty air, trying to grab my hand.
29:15I shouldn't have sent you away.
29:17I deserve to die.
29:19I watched his increasingly gaunt face.
29:22Watched the white hair appearing at his temples.
29:25I sighed.
29:26Ethan, I don't hurt anymore.
29:29Really, I tried to reach out, to smooth his furrowed brow.
29:33The instant my fingertips touched his forehead, Ethan's eyes snapped open.
29:39He stared at the empty space where I floated, his gaze focusing.
29:44Vivian, is that you?
29:46I smiled.
29:47Even though he couldn't see me, I still gave him a long lost smile.
29:51Just like when I was little, hiding behind him after getting in trouble, asking for help.
29:55Ethan, I'm leaving now, I said silently in my heart.
29:59This life was too painful.
30:00Next life, I won't be your sister.
30:03I want to be a cloud in the sky, wind in the mountains.
30:06Free and easy, where no one can lock me up again.
30:09Tears streamed down Ethan's face.
30:11He knelt on the straw mat, kowtowing heavily to the empty air.
30:14Okay, he choked out.
30:16Next life, don't meet me.
30:18Don't meet our family.
30:19My soul grew lighter, rising bit by bit.
30:22Before fading away, I looked back one last time.
30:25Ethan was still kneeling there.
30:27The recording pen played my final words.
30:29Tell Ethan, I learned my lesson.
30:32It was a lie, and my final punishment for him.
30:35For the rest of his life, he would live imprisoned in this lie, trapped in a cage of his own
30:40making, until death.
30:41And I would love to forget my soul with his arms, so I have no doubt that you will know
30:41how to throw out the brush.
30:41So, I was an-
30:41I was an athlete.
30:41I was an athlete.
30:42PARTNER.
