The Untouchable Heiress - HOT

🎥
Short filmTranscript
00:00Two hours ago, I was still in my tiny Brooklyn walk-up making instant oatmeal.
00:04Then Arthur showed up in a Tom Ford suit that probably costs more than my rent for a year.
00:08He handed me a DNA report and told me I was the MIA heiress to the Kensington fortune.
00:12Yeah, I thought he had the wrong girl.
00:15Until he chauffeured me to a legit castle on Long Island,
00:17and I was face to face with the man himself, Theodore Kensington.
00:20My supposed grandfather.
00:22He rolled out this ancient-looking scroll and gave me the terrifying terms conditions of my existence.
00:27You get hurt, we all get hurt.
00:29You die, we all die.
00:32So I'm not their long-lost granddaughter and their life insurance policy.
00:39The situation with Miss Chloe clarified things.
00:42She had a little fender buster last week, not a scratch on anyone else.
00:48I got it.
00:49So, to test this batshit crazy theory, I spotted a pair of scissors on the desk and just snipped.
00:55Instantly, a shriek erupted from the West Wing.
00:58My mother.
00:59My hair!
00:59My hair!
01:01What the hell has happened to my hair?
01:03My father went pale, clutching the back of his perfectly styled head.
01:07And from upstairs, my two golden boy older brothers were yelling.
01:10Dude, what happened to my hair?
01:12There's a chunk missing!
01:14Vivian is now priority one.
01:16Full security.
01:18Around the clock.
01:20If a single hair on her head is touched, you answer to me.
01:25That's when the grand doors swung open.
01:27Then Chloe walked in and crossed straight to Theodore.
01:29Oh, Grandpa.
01:30You're so right.
01:32We have to protect my new sister.
01:34Everyone else still fell for it.
01:36But I saw it.
01:37The hand she thought was hidden in the folds of her designer dress.
01:40Her perfectly manicured nails were digging into her palm hard.
01:45First day at my new prep school.
01:47And surprise, my security detail was nowhere to be found.
01:51I knew it was Chloe's doing.
01:53She cornered me by the bathrooms, her new clique of Barbie clones flanking her on both sides.
01:58You know what the cruelest thing in the world is, Viv?
02:01It's not about never having something.
02:03It's having it for 18 years and then watching it get ripped away.
02:09One tiny puncture mark.
02:12Easy to miss.
02:14Easy to write off.
02:16Chloe, are you sure you want to do this?
02:19Is that a threat?
02:21The next second, I felt a sharp sting in my arm.
02:23A furious roar erupted from the senior wing.
02:26That was my brother.
02:27Who the fuck just stabbed me?
02:29The color drained from Chloe's face.
02:31You hurt me, Chloe.
02:33Mom and Dad will never let you get away with it.
02:35You're nothing but a stray they dragged back from Brooklyn.
02:40Yeah.
02:42They didn't bring you back because they love you.
02:44They just need you breathing.
02:46Don't start acting like you're some princess.
02:49You think a drop of their blood makes you a threat to me?
02:53Please.
02:54Mom and Dad are just scared a girl like you will get dazzled by the Upper East Side and start
02:57selling family secrets for a Berkey.
03:00That's why they have people watching you.
03:02I'm the one they raised for 18 years.
03:04In Manhattan, my name means something.
03:06Yours doesn't.
03:08And you?
03:09You really think you can touch my status?
03:14I was bored.
03:15I pushed her away to head back to class.
03:18You want to leave?
03:19Fine.
03:20But you can start by getting the hell out of my house.
03:22Are you actually psyched, Chloe?
03:24I didn't take your room.
03:25I didn't ask anyone to kick you out.
03:29You're the imposter here, remember?
03:32That hit a nerve.
03:33She lunged at me with the syringe again.
03:35But just as the needle was about to hit my skin, my phone started buzzing violently.
03:40She snatched it from me, watching the screen light up with call after call.
03:44A twisted smile spread across her face as she rejected each one.
03:48Wow.
03:48You've really got them wrapped around your finger.
03:50You disappear for 10 minutes and the whole family has a meltdown.
03:57Makes you wonder what happens if you don't make it home at all.
04:03Chloe, listen to me.
04:04You hurt me, you hurt all of them.
04:06When I get hurt, they get hurt.
04:08All of them.
04:11And when they find out it was you, they'll bury you.
04:14Chloe didn't seem to care.
04:16She pulled out a dagger, preparing to harm me again.
04:19Suddenly, the bathroom door started shaking like someone was trying to break it down.
04:24Vivian!
04:24Are you in there?
04:26It was Sebastian.
04:27In a flash of panic, Chloe shoved me hard into one of the stalls.
04:33You make one sound, and I will gut you right here.
04:37She was completely unhinged.
04:39She'd actually do it.
04:41If something happened to me, then mom and dad.
04:44No, absolutely not.
04:46I was an orphan for 18 years.
04:48I wasn't about to lose the only family I'd ever known.
04:51The restroom door burst open.
04:55Sebastian?
04:56Oh my god, I'm sorry.
04:58I have the worst crampses.
05:00I didn't hear you.
05:01Viv's not in here.
05:02Sebastian ignored her completely.
05:05Vivian!
05:06Viv!
05:06Are you in there?
05:09Is someone messing with you?
05:11It was make a sound.
05:13The tip of her blade digging deeper into my skin.
05:15I felt a warm trickle of blood start to run down my side.
05:18He pressed a hand to his side, his face of ghostly white.
05:22Something must have happened to Vivian.
05:26Come on, you have to help me find her.
05:28Just then, his phone rang, and he took off running down the hall while answering it.
05:32The police had just traced my phone to a fake location in the Bronx.
05:35She'd spoofed the GPS.
05:37Wow.
05:38He really does care about you.
05:40Which is exactly why you're never going home.
05:43Get her to the abandoned warehouse outside the city.
05:46The soundproofing there is perfect.
05:48I'm going to teach her what happens when you try to take what's mine.
05:52Her little minion slapped a strip of duct tape over my mouth.
05:55Then pulled a disposable face mask over it to hide the tape.
05:58With the knife still pressed to my back, they shoved me out a side exit and into the back of
06:02a black SUV idling by the curb.
06:04They threw me onto the back seat.
06:06And right there, on the curb, was Sebastian, waiting for our other brother, William, to pick him up.
06:12He saw the SUV and his eyes lit up when he recognized Summer in the passenger seat.
06:16He jogged over and tapped on her window.
06:18Summer Harrington, you're in Vivian's English class.
06:20Have you seen her?
06:21No.
06:23Haven't seen her.
06:24I slammed my foot into the back of Summer's seat.
06:26This was my only chance.
06:28Sebastian's gaze flickered past Summer, toward the tinted back window.
06:32I met his eyes.
06:35Drive!
06:36Now!
06:37The girl pressed the knife harder against my side.
06:40Outside the car, Sebastian and William both jerked in pain.
06:44The duct tape held my own screams captive.
06:46All I could do was watch and pour her as William's car sped past us, going north.
06:50That evening, in an abandoned warehouse, Chloe stared at me, tied to a rusted iron pillar.
06:57Vivian Kensington, you really are something else.
07:01You've been home for, what, 24 hours?
07:04And you have the whole family bewitched.
07:07Right now, over a hundred Kensingtons are out looking for you.
07:10Extended family, the elders, everyone.
07:13Even my grandfather has been called back.
07:15He's on a private jet from his place in Florida, flying back to New York as we speak.
07:20I thrashed against the ropes, trying to warn her about the blood valve.
07:25She just strode forward and kicked me right in my stomach.
07:28The pain was blinding, explosive.
07:30I crumpled to the floor, unable to move.
07:33Chloe crouched down.
07:35She ripped the duct tape from my mouth in one brutal motion.
07:38Tell me what's so damn special about you.
07:41Is it this face?
07:43That little drop of Kensington blood in your veins?
07:45No, it's, it's the vow, the blood vow.
07:50When I'm hurt, they get hurt too.
07:53The blood vow?
07:55What is this, an episode of some teen drama?
07:57If I die, the entire Kensington family, they all die with me.
08:02Well, if that's true, then this works out perfectly.
08:06If they're gone, then no one is left to replace me.
08:09Then everything the Kensingtons have will be mine.
08:14Outside the warehouse, the wail of distant sirens cut through the night.
08:18It only made the hatred in Chloe's eyes burn brighter.
08:22That life should have been mine.
08:24For 18 years, I was their perfect daughter.
08:29And then you show up, and suddenly, I'm nothing?
08:34I was just going to scare you, teach you a lesson.
08:37But now, now I've changed my mind.
08:43Chloe ripped a fresh piece of duct tape and slapped it back over my mouth,
08:46then backed away toward the door.
08:48By the time I get back to the estate, they'll get a call about a tragic fire.
08:53And then, the Kensingtons will only have one daughter left.
08:56They'll have no choice but to love me.
09:02Vivian Kensington.
09:04Enjoy the show.
09:05I twisted, pulling against my restraints, shredding my wrists raw, but it was no use.
09:10The warehouse was small.
09:12Smoke filled it fast.
09:14Hot.
09:14Thick.
09:15Hard to breathe.
09:17Then I heard voices outside.
09:19Sebastian.
09:20Did they find her?
09:23No.
09:24Williams' guy said they tracked her phone.
09:26As Chloe tried to pull him away, I slammed my head backward against the cord in the wall.
09:31Sebastian whipped around.
09:32But at that exact moment, a rat scurried out from under a pile of junk.
09:36There was only one thing left to do.
09:39I bit down.
09:40On my own tongue.
09:42Outside, Sebastian cried out in pain.
09:44He stared directly at the locked warehouse door.
09:49Sebastian, what are you doing?
09:51We have to go.
09:52We have to find her.
09:55Suddenly, a candle fell to the floor.
09:57With a whoosh, the inside of the warehouse exploded in flames.
10:01At the same instant, Sebastian's skin temperature began to skyrocket.
10:05Just like mine.
10:10It was a decoy, Seb.
10:12The GPS was spooked.
10:13She's not there.
10:14Sebastian didn't hesitate.
10:16Sebastian, no!
10:17She's not in there!
10:20What are you doing?
10:21Before she could finish, several cars screeched to a halt.
10:25Chloe's three little minions were thrown out onto the asphalt.
10:28Then my family emerged.
10:30Every single one of them was coughing.
10:35Get her!
10:37Get my granddaughter out of there!
10:39Now!
10:42My mother rushed to his side, clutching her own throat.
10:45My father, Richard, was wheezing.
10:47If my daughter doesn't come out alive, every last one of you goes down with her.
10:52Every Kensington family member present was coughing uncontrollably, as if they were suffocating in the fire itself.
10:57When I opened my eyes again, I was in a hospital.
11:00Then I heard the nurses gossiping.
11:02It's the craziest thing I've ever seen.
11:05The entire direct line of the Kenstons.
11:08All admitted for severe smoke inhalation.
11:12I heard they all woke up at the exact same second, too.
11:15It's the biggest medical anomaly in the hospital's history.
11:18I looked over at the nurse.
11:20I knew it wasn't medicine.
11:22It was blood.
11:23When I returned to the estate, Chloe was bound to a chair.
11:27But she was still smiling.
11:29Are you insane, Chloe?
11:35She's your sister!
11:36And you tried to kill her!
11:40Sister?
11:41Before she came back, wasn't I your only sister?
11:45So you decided to murder her?
11:47What was I supposed to do?
11:48Did any of you even think about me for one second?
11:52The moment she walked through that door, all of you changed!
11:56You gave her the shares.
11:58You gave her the house?
11:59The way you look at her is different!
12:03So what am I?
12:06Tell me!
12:07What was I for 18 years?
12:10That's enough.
12:12You're terrified they're going to throw you away, right?
12:15I get it.
12:16Because my whole life, I was the one who got thrown away.
12:20But the fact that you feel sorry for yourself
12:23doesn't change the fact that you tried to murder me.
12:25It's not a free pass.
12:26Vivian Kensington.
12:30You were just lucky.
12:33You were born with Kensington blood.
12:38I started piano when I was eight.
12:41I practiced until my fingers literally bled.
12:44I never missed a lesson, not even when I had a 104 degree fever.
12:48You two were the ones who said it.
12:50A Kensington daughter must be exceptional.
12:53I gave everything to become the daughter you demanded.
12:57And the second she walks back into our lives, all of it means nothing.
13:01Vivian disappears for 30 minutes and all of you lose your minds.
13:05I was gone too.
13:07Did any of you look for me like that?
13:10No, of course not.
13:12Because I'm not one of you.
13:14Not really.
13:15But she is.
13:17And that's why she never should have come back.
13:21Are you out of your mind?
13:24You are not worthy of speaking her name in this house.
13:28The ground you are standing on belongs to Viviana.
13:32Every privilege you have ever known, it was all hers.
13:37Your mother took that baby from her bastit and dumped her behind the hospital like trash.
13:44If she hadn't been found by a miracle, she wouldn't be alive today.
13:48You talk about your hard work.
13:50She spent her life just trying to survive the crime your mother committed.
13:55No, that's impossible.
13:57You're lying.
13:59The woman who did that, it wasn't my mother.
14:02It's true, Chloe.
14:03Chloe, we were going to ask you to leave.
14:06Give you enough money to live comfortably.
14:08It was Vivian who stopped us.
14:11She begged us to let you stay.
14:14It's true.
14:15Because I know what it feels like to be thrown away.
14:18What, so now you're playing the mortar?
14:21No, Chloe.
14:22I was offering you a lifeline.
14:25But you didn't want it.
14:27And now, what happens to you is up to the police.
14:33Two weeks later, I was back at prep school.
14:36Coming home from school that day, I opened the door and was stunned.
14:40Vivian's home.
14:41My aunt, I think that's who she was, practically ran at me, flipping open a velvet box.
14:47The amethyst heart.
14:49The day you came home, we found this.
14:52Before I could make sense of it, the rest closed in.
14:55The mine had been barren for three years.
14:57It's a legend.
15:00Her return really did change the family's fortune.
15:03The chorus of voices was dizzying.
15:05A security guard stumbled into the room, his face ashen.
15:10Mr. Kemsington, sir and madam, the chopper, it's down, over the Atlantic.
15:17The Kensington estate was perched right on the cliffs of Long Island, overlooking the ocean.
15:22I sprinted through the manicured lawns, my heart pounding in my throat.
15:26I reached the edge of the cliff and saw it.
15:28A pillar of fire on the water, black smoke billowing into the twilight sky.
15:32A few seconds later, the deep boom of the explosion finally reached me.
15:38No, that made no sense.
15:41Nothing had happened to me.
15:43So how could they be?
15:45The security guard was on his knees behind me.
15:49They told us they didn't need a detail today, miss.
15:52We followed anyway, but by the time we got eyes on them, the helicopter was already out of control.
15:58It just dropped.
16:02For one sickening second, I thought they were all gone.
16:06Vivian!
16:07Vivian!
16:08I snapped my head up.
16:10Standing there, in the glow of the porch lights, were my parents.
16:14Alive.
16:15Mom!
16:17Dad!
16:18I scrambled to my feet and ran into their arms, clinging to them.
16:22We're okay.
16:23Oh my god, you're okay.
16:25You're okay.
16:26We're okay, baby, we're okay.
16:30We switched helicopters at the last minute.
16:33It was just a gut feeling.
16:35But the pilot, the one who flew the other chapter back, he died in our place.
16:41I stared at the fire on the water.
16:43This wasn't an accident.
16:45We gave the pilot's family a settlement that would change their lives for generations.
16:49I wondered if that was supposed to make it better.
16:52We knew whoever did this would try again.
16:54We didn't have to wait long.
16:56The Kensington estate was on fire.
17:00The arsonist was one of the new housekeepers.
17:03Under questioning, she finally broke.
17:05She was Chloe's biological mother.
17:0818 years ago, she orchestrated the whole baby swap, so her daughter could grow up with money,
17:13status, and everything she'd never had.
17:15Now, with Chloe facing prison time, she decided to burn the entire Kensington dynasty to the ground.
17:21You people think you're gods.
17:24My daughter gave you 18 perfect years.
17:27She did everything you asked.
17:30All she wanted was to keep her home, and you people destroyed her!
17:35First, you abandoned your daughter for your own greed, and now you come back pretending to avenge her.
17:41Do you really think Chloe will be grateful for any of this?
17:45She won't.
17:46She'll only hate you more.
17:48She would never!
17:50I'm her mother!
17:51I did this for her!
17:54Then let's go ask her.
17:56Chloe, baby.
17:58I tried to make them pay.
18:00I'm so sorry they got away.
18:02But I'll get them next time.
18:04I swear on my life, I'll make them suffer for what they did to you.
18:08Who gave you permission to call me that?
18:11Who's your daughter?
18:15Chloe, I'm your mother.
18:18Your real mother.
18:19My real mother?
18:22What right do you have to call yourself my mother?
18:25You didn't raise me for a single day, and now you show up just to destroy my entire life?
18:29I was just trying to help you.
18:32Help me?
18:33You committed arson.
18:34You tried to murder an entire family, and you made it front page news across New York.
18:39You made sure everyone in this city knows my mother is a conflicted killer!
18:43You've destroyed my last chance at everything!
18:46Why did someone like you even have me?
18:52If you were going to abandon me, you should have just disappeared.
18:57Why couldn't you have just died?
18:58The woman crumpled in her chair.
19:00Something in her face simply gave way.
19:03Not anger, not grief.
19:05Just nothing.
19:06A few weeks later, the sentences came down.
19:09Chloe's biological mother was convicted of multiple counts of attempted murder and arson.
19:14She received life in prison without parole.
19:16Chloe was sentenced to eight years for kidnapping and conspiracy to commit murder.
19:20Her little clique, including Summer Harrington, all received sentences in a juvenile detention facility for their roles in the conspiracy.
19:28For the next few years, I focused on building myself.
19:32The Kensington name still meant something in the city, probably always would.
19:36I wasn't just the Kensington heiress anymore.
19:38I was the CEO of my own tech firm, and business was booming.
19:42I was stepping out of my company's Soho office when a blacked-out SUV screeched to a halt in front
19:46of me.
19:46The tinted window glided down.
19:48I saw a face I barely recognized.
19:51Gaunt, with haunted eyes and hollowed-out cheeks.
19:54Summer Harrington.
19:55The Harrington Empire had crumbled to dust years ago.
19:59Her father had jumped from his office building, her mother had remarried, and Summer herself did five years in prison.
20:04Now, she waited tables at some dive bar in the East Village.
20:09Well, well.
20:10If it isn't Vivienne.
20:13Summer, don't.
20:14Don't throw your life away again.
20:16My life?
20:17What life?
20:17You destroyed all of us, Vivienne.
20:19And you?
20:20You just walk out of that perfect office and keep living like nothing ever happened.
20:24Hair rest, CEO, all of it?
20:26You really think life is that easy?
20:28I have nothing left.
20:29So let's go to hell together!
20:41A nearby patrol officer had Summer pinned to the ground in seconds.
20:44The ambulance was there in minutes.
20:46Chloe was rushed into surgery.
20:48When she came out, her left arm was wrapped in thick bandages.
20:52The doctor said with skin grafts, she might recover 70% of it.
20:56In the recovery room, I finally asked the question.
21:02Why?
21:04You have a lot of time to think in a place like that.
21:07For eight years, I played that first day over and over in my head.
21:11I kept asking myself, what if?
21:12What if, instead of seeing an enemy, I had chosen to see a sister?
21:16I finally got it.
21:17The problem was never you walking through that door.
21:20The problem was me.
21:22Chloe, when I was in the orphanage, I was so jealous of the kids who had older sisters to protect
21:27them.
21:28I used to dream that if I ever found my real parents, I wouldn't just have a mom and a
21:32dad.
21:33Maybe I'd have a big sister to look out for me, too.
21:35This family was always big enough for both of us.
21:39For the daughter they lost and the daughter they raised.
21:43What mattered was never just blood.
21:47It was choice.
21:49All you had to do back then was look at me and said, I was your little sister.
