Short filmTranscript
00:12everyone echo is here today we only discuss the exhibition no personal questions welcome back to
00:18the city I'm Eli Walker curator of this exhibition I've heard a lot about you likewise this piece
00:29silent night will be placed in the center of the main hall that is if our mysterious artist is
00:34willing to cooperate with basic publicity honestly talking about sincerity behind a mask
00:39is ironic my work speaks for itself my face is irrelevant or is it that your face can't be shown
00:46Damien we are discussing the exhibition not staging a provocation
00:52echo wait have we met before no that's strange your voice the way you look at people
01:03it all feels familiar maybe you're mistaking me for someone else
01:09was that person important to you you don't remember someone this long if they didn't matter
01:27bad news someone posted photos of you and Eli at the elevator last night
01:32Damien's people who else would be this eager to start a fire
01:37I've heard a lot about you you've been off since last night I'm thinking about the exhibition
01:44you'd better be this isn't a public piece and it wasn't in the catalog your team sent me
01:51probably a discarded sketch that got mixed in during packing but it doesn't look discarded
01:55I've seen this place a lot of people have seen rooftops and stars but not many people can paint that
02:02cracked cement wall exactly like this sorry to interrupt but I'd like to remind everyone that
02:07our promo still lacks a proper frontal shot of the artist the contract is clear no face reveal
02:12the public has a right to know especially when an artist's story feels more like branding than art
02:17that's enough are you protecting him or your own curiosity if this gallery needs a face more than an
02:24exhibition we can terminate the collaboration right now it won't be terminated at least
02:31not for that reason I'm not here to push you then why are you here I just want to know
02:38why the
02:38things you paint feel like they're stealing my memories and your eyes they really remind me of
02:45someone two centimeters higher on the left no the starlight is crushing the figure's breathing space
02:52you see it well because I feel like I know the people in your pictures why are they always turned
02:57away from the viewer because one of them still isn't ready to turn around some reporters coming
03:02tonight are already asking whether ego play trees his own persona you're setting fires and pretending to
03:06be the firefighter I'm just clearing the smoke Damien out you're sounding less and less like someone
03:12protecting a project
03:25you almost slipped today he remembered that wall the issue isn't whether he remembers the issue is how
03:33long you plan to keep hiding I'm not afraid he'll recognize me I'm afraid the answer I never got 10
03:39years
03:39ago will be the same now keep digging I want every address school record and family file eco had in
03:49the last 10 years
03:49especially why he vanished 10 years ago
03:55I stared at this painting for two hours last night it reminds me of someone I lost strange part is
04:03I'm starting to wonder if he came back in his place to find me an artist's job isn't to return
04:09in someone else's place
04:10then what is your job to leave behind the words that were never said he's watching you and he's watching
04:17Eli I think he's digging into your past my past is already all over these paintings but your identity
04:22isn't if you get exposed by force it won't just ruin your love life the art market will tear you
04:27apart
04:27echo are you in there don't forget you didn't come back here to die in front of him you need
04:31to attend
04:31tonight's media premiere fine and if that person really matters this much to you you owe him an
04:36explanation what if the explanation comes too late it's still better than never coming no public
04:41identity his team scrubbed the records clean but there's one opening echo keeps dodging questions
04:46about the town like he's avoiding someone from his past he's not avoiding someone from his past he's
04:49afraid of an old lover then dig that person out for me I changed the opening sequence why because your
04:56work doesn't tell its story by chronology but by emotional wounds these works weren't originally
05:00about fame loneliness or mystery they've been waiting for an answer do you always read paintings like
05:05this no only yours echo the two boys repeated in your work are they from their own romantic history
05:12no personal questions today then at least answer this are these paintings dedicated to someone
05:17yes they are for someone I couldn't hold on to
05:22what you said out there was it true what do you think I think every time you say things like
05:29that you're not answering the press you're speaking to one specific person echo why do you affect me like
05:36this
05:40you can read this I don't know why but I can't walk away from your work then don't double the
05:46fee move
05:47faster I want his real identity and I want it now Eli are you curating him or are you falling
05:51for him
06:00this wall has to stay empty
06:04a blank wall will break the emotional flow for the audience that's exactly what I want
06:11why because some people stop right there and never move forward
06:15the audience isn't here to experience your personal paralysis they need a complete narrative
06:23complete you think everything gets a complete ending
06:28you always sound like you're trying to provoke me
06:33maybe I just want to see whether you'll finally say something real
06:36are you two done at this rate the first thing to explode won't be the exhibition it'll be the two
06:40of you
06:46Eli I like you not the kind of like between friends
06:55you
07:04you came you said you had something to ask
07:09a lot of the places from the town where I grew up are gone now
07:13only rooftops like this still bring me back you know what's strangest
07:21I don't even know you and yet every time I stand next to you it feels like I'm back 10
07:26years ago
07:30echo did you know Noah
07:33the places in your paintings the way you speak even the way you look at me they're all too much
07:38like him
07:47why did you stop some answers shouldn't be spoken where the wind is too loud
07:53you're just like him always pulling back right when the truth is within reach
07:57if it were you would you disappear without a word too I'm coming down now you pull me in then
08:02say
08:03nothing do you know how cruel that is
08:08no
08:11you can't face the press like this so you're just gonna walk away again
08:15Eli this is not the time I'm not talking to you
08:19what exactly do you take me for
08:23a collaborator
08:26you paint my past drag back the person I lost and then tell me I'm just a collaborator
08:32what do you want to hear I want the truth
08:35some truths even if I told you you might not be able to bear them it's not that you can't
08:40say it you won't
08:44the one who looks most like him is the one who refuses to admit him
08:52at this rate Eli won't recognize you first he'll hate you first
08:59major identity turning point
09:02so that's what this is filter through all of his public activity over the past 10 years
09:08how deep do you want us to go deep enough that I can peel that mask off layer by layer
09:22of the past 10 years
09:26yes I know someone's touching our private server Damien
09:33do you recognize this
09:39I did write one even though I never sent it why are you showing it to me now because you
09:43make me feel
09:44like I'm about to lose the same thing a second time sorry to interrupt your early morning heart
09:48to quaint
09:51what are you doing here I'm getting more and more curious how many old acquaintances our eco really has
09:59too late
10:13so that's where you've been hiding
10:17don't touch the email it's a phishing attack
10:20noah grayson
10:33which one is waiting in this painting
10:42the one who never turned around
10:44then who's the one that keeps being too afraid to turn around
10:48maybe they're the same person
10:51this isn't just a memory painting then what is it
10:53it's one person staying where he was
10:56waiting for the other to finally face him
11:00who are you waiting for
11:04someone I thought would never answer
11:13someone is deliberately steering the narrative
11:17who put this here you'd better not know
11:19I need it faster I don't care about the process I want the result
11:22I'm trying but I can't hack into the system
11:23then find another way after opening nighting I want to know everything about you
11:27what if you regret it once you know
11:29it feels like someone hung his heart on the wall and forced another person to recognize it
11:36just give me a little more time
11:41noah grayson found you
11:52the key light is too cold
11:55a little colder feels more like loss loss isn't cold it's when the light is still on but it no
12:01longer reaches you
12:06you always say the things I don't dare to say
12:09maybe you just project yourself too easily onto my work
12:14and you
12:16who are you projecting into every painting
12:19someone who should never have been forgotten
12:22why does every painting feel like it was made for the same person
12:26because they were
12:28do you realize what you just said
12:30i'm talking about the work
12:33but what i heard wasn't just about the work
12:35the media confirmed tomorrow night's preview live stream
12:37echo you need to leave
12:40got it
12:45that didn't look like curating
12:47it's a strange feeling
12:48i've started envy the person he has painted for 10 years
13:01you're still here
13:03i still have things to revise
13:07you've been strange lately
13:10ever since echo showed up you haven't looked at me the way you used to
13:13damien there was never a that way to begin with
13:23in viewing the person he has painted for 10 years
13:27you said too much last night
13:29i know
13:31i didn't come back just to retreat again
13:39i'm in love with you
13:41so i can't keep watching you get this close to him
13:46that's my business you don't get to tell me what to do
13:48then stay away from eco
13:56fine i hope you won't regret today's choice over a man in a mask
14:15sorry have we met somewhere before no but your eyes really look like someone i used to know
14:22a lot of people say that right this way the media area needs one more photo of you
14:31what are you hiding from
14:34i just don't like being studied by strangers but that didn't look like fear of a stranger
14:39the investors would love to meet our star artist
14:45if he finds out it's me will he still go silent
14:53you've been off all night you're overthinking
14:56if you really have nothing to do with my past why do you look ready to run every time someone
15:00mentions before
15:02so this is where you've been hiding something you need just a reminder the press is looking for echo
15:08of course some people may be looking for more than just echo
15:17this series should move a little deeper inside
15:24why because this shouldn't be the first place people see
15:27you say that like you've actually been there of course i've been there
15:32east district of the old town behind the abandoned water tower
15:37through the alley barely wide enough for one person
15:39up three flights of rusted stairs and and there's a cracked cement platform on top
15:50how do you paint this place exactly as it was
15:54art doesn't need to explain every source stop hiding
15:59that place other than me only one other person knew
16:10who are you echo the media vans arrived early looks like i came at an interesting time
16:18finish what you were about to say
16:22the harder a man hides the more valuable the face behind the mask must be
16:31echo is your refusal to show your face part of your artistic philosophy or are you hiding something
16:36a real artist usually doesn't need to hide a mask this is an interview not a personal provocation
16:42unless what some people are selling was never the work but the secret
16:51that's enough
16:53did i say something untrue the contract permits anonymity the curation supports anonymity
16:59if you can't tell the difference between professionalism and humiliation leave the floor now
17:04you humiliated me in public for him you crossed the line first you really are protective of him
17:15don't pay attention to him thank you
17:22if you're so determined to protect him i want you to move tonight
17:27hack maeve's private email i'm not asking for a risk assessment i want the truth
17:47i'm not asking for a risk assessment i'm not asking for a risk assessment i'm not asking for
17:48lift the left side a little
17:53i keep dreaming about him lately
17:57who
18:02that boy who disappeared
18:05in the dream he's still 17 standing on the rooftop looking at me like he's waiting for me to say
18:12something maybe he really is if he came back would i still have the right to explain some people
18:21aren't waiting for an explanation then what are they waiting for courage
18:29so it really is you
18:31that line
18:33it sounds like something he would say maybe you just miss him too much
18:38echo i need you backstage right now
18:43what did they get
18:49not everything yet but enough
18:53damien
18:53no one else would do this right before the opening
18:57some people aren't waiting for an explanation but courage
19:03where did you get that line you said earlier it came to me so i said it but it sounded
19:09like it was meant for me
19:11maybe some words were always meant for you
19:19you two look deeply engaged
19:23don't look at me like that i'm in a very good mood tonight
19:27stay away from him
19:31too late
19:39noah grayson
19:41no need on opening night i'll make everyone watch the show together
19:48if anything happens tomorrow you leave immediately this time i don't want to run
20:00we can still cancel your public appearance
20:05no
20:07you know how high the risk is tonight i've already run once i'm not running again
20:13then at least promise me this whatever happens don't carry it alone
20:23it's not the mystery it's that there's someone in those paintings who has been silent for a long
20:28time but never truly left
20:38when tomorrow night is over i want to know everything about you
20:43what if you regret it once you know then that should still be my choice
20:53don't leave me outside the door again
21:01after the opening i'll tell you
21:15i guess you'd still be here
21:20for the first time since this was hung i feel like it's finally complete
21:25because the exhibition is finally complete
21:28because i finally know what i need to do after tomorrow
21:34what
21:37tell you the truth
21:40why after tomorrow
21:44because some answers should be spoken after everything is over
21:49what if i say i don't want to wait anymore
21:52just one more night
21:54okay
22:01tomorrow night
22:03everyone will see it with their own eyes

23:17looks like the secret revealed itself tonight
23:24don't touch him
23:29it's him we got him
23:30eli
23:33so it really was you
23:48mr grayson why did you hide your identity
23:51what exactly is the relationship between eco and noah grayson
23:55was this a carefully staged deception
24:07eli
24:09why i wasn't trying to deceive you
24:12not trying
24:14you stood in front of me every day
24:17heard everything i said
24:18heard everything i said
24:19watched me chase my own past like a madman
24:22you'd rather wear a mask than say my name even once
24:25when i came back i thought you didn't need me anymore
24:28so you made that decision for me
24:32back off everyone back off
24:36do you know what's most ridiculous i almost believed you again
24:39leave now
24:40leave now right now the car is waiting at the side exit
24:43i ruined everything again
24:45our collaboration ends here
24:47the artist behind the million dollar echo masks has finally been unmasked
24:56effective immediately the gallery is terminating all collaboration with noah grayman and the echo brand
25:04this is the only way to contain the damage
25:09go make the announcement to the press
25:16eli sign the termination
25:17okay
25:19you're not even going to fight it
25:22the way he looked at me last night said everything
25:25the gallery respects art and it respects the public's right to know
25:29as for eco's hidden identity we had no prior knowledge
25:34he's washing his hands clean
25:36let him
25:46you look like you didn't survive the night
25:48i was deceived by the one person who should never have deceived me
25:51or maybe it was someone most afraid of losing you didn't know how to return
25:55if that's the reason why not say a single word i'm not leaving
26:03why didn't you say a single word you left for 10 years and even when you came back this is
26:08what you do to me
26:18you've only remembered that he left but you never really looked at what he left behind
26:27when was this after graduation night he came by the house the next day you weren't there he left this
26:33behind
26:34he came back for me
26:37some people don't leave on purpose
26:39they just believe no one would ask them to stay
26:47i don't want the mask anymore
26:49then what do you want
26:51i want to answer once
26:53i want to answer once
26:54with my real name

27:30no one hasn't released any public statement
27:32what is he planning
27:33maybe this time he doesn't want to rely on explanations
27:40this isn't a commercial job this is a 10-year late answer
27:54no one hasn't released any public statement
27:54are you sure about this
27:56yes
27:58this time i won't use the name echo
28:01i'll answer as noah grazen
28:16i'm asking that question again with my real name 10 years later
28:29mr grayson is this your public response
28:32who are you speaking to
28:33do you realize this could cause even more controversy
28:39but some things shouldn't stay hidden anymore
28:51i'm asking that question again with my real name 10 years later
28:54mr eli
28:56cancel everything on my schedule
28:57but the board meeting cancel all of it
29:12the board meeting
29:32So you weren't forcing an answer from me.
29:37I just wanted you to know the question is still there.
29:40And so is the choice.
29:48That night, it wasn't that I didn't want to answer.
29:52I simply couldn't believe someone could love me like that.
29:58I thought you deserved someone better.
30:01Police are here!
30:09No, this time you don't have to wait for me.
30:13This time, I'm not running.
30:17No matter what your answer is, my silence back then wasn't rejection.
30:23I was afraid.
30:25Afraid I didn't deserve a love like yours.
30:31Will you still take it?
30:33That answer is very, very late.
30:36I will.
30:38Damien Hall?
30:38Yes.
30:39What is this about?
30:40You are suspected of illegally obtaining private information, hacking private email accounts.
30:45It's an orchestrating public defamation.
30:47You need to come with us for questioning.
30:50Surprised?
30:55It was you.
30:57I told you not to touch what wasn't yours.
31:02This is a misunderstanding.
31:04This is a misunderstanding.
31:06I'm Terry Lee.
31:07A misunderstanding?
31:08You illegally obtained Noah's identity records, hacked my private email, manipulated the opening night control system, and orchestrated a deliberate
31:17public humiliation.
31:19I gave you time to stop at every step.
31:22You chose not to.
31:24You're not seriously taking their side, are you?
31:30It's not their side.
31:32You crossed the line a long time ago.
31:35As of now, all your permissions at the gallery are revaked.
31:39That includes management authority, financial access, and all project attribution rights.
31:44So the gallery is officially cutting ties with Damien?
31:47Mr. Eli, do you admit the gallery mishandled the eco situation?
31:51I admit the real mistake wasn't that someone wore a mask.
31:54It was that someone used another person's wounds as chips to win.
31:57If it weren't for him, you would never have walked away from me!
32:02I was never on your side to begin with.
32:05Mr. Grayson, will you continue working under the name Echo?
32:13Yes, I guess that's a mysterious sex, sir.
32:19No.
32:21But for the road ahead, I want to walk it under my real name.
32:26What is the relationship between the two of you now?
32:29We're the people each of us found far too late.
32:32But last, not too late to lose each other.
32:45Welcome back.
32:50Not back.
32:53It's a new beginning.
32:54For my silence ten years ago, I should apologize too.
32:58For keeping you outside the mask for so long.
33:01And for the hesitation, anger, and hurtful thinking.
33:06Congratulations, you two bosses.
33:09You don't sound very congratulatory.
33:11Because I know the real challenge isn't the media.
33:13It's the two of you finally making decisions together.
33:16So you finally admit it.
33:19I'll admit that.
33:21What are you painting this time?
33:25Two people.
33:30But not from the back this time.
33:33Then where are they looking?
33:40The same direction.
33:44This time, will you run again?
33:48No.
33:50Because this time, you're finally by my side.
33:53Let's go to the right.
33:57We're going to get together in the right.
33:58Some of you remember the last time.
33:58The last time, we watershed the marriage of home,
34:00had to be the least two everyone's present together.
34:01You
