Short filmTranscript
00:00A fist slammed into my ribs. I hit the pavement, blood filling my mouth.
00:05I didn't see who hit just many strangers' faces twisted with contempt.
00:09Someone else grabbed my hair from behind.
00:11Homewrecker! Slut!
00:13The kicks kept coming from every direction.
00:17None of these people knew me.
00:18They only knew what Adavina Gerait had been posting on social media for years,
00:22that painted her as the victim,
00:24and me as the mistress who had stolen her husband at Beckham Bostrock,
00:27Philadelphia's wealthiest tycoon.
00:31But I was his legal wife. It was all because...
00:34Beckham had proposed a so-called split marriage arrangement right after our wedding.
00:40Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays were mine.
00:42Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays belonged to Avani, his twin brother's widow.
00:50I tremblingly dialed Beckham's number.
00:54Who is this?
00:55Beckham! Help me! I met...
00:57Elizabeth. Today is Tuesday.
01:00Per our deal, I have to be with Ava.
01:02Whatever it is, tell me tomorrow.
01:04The line went dead.
01:07The crowd's laughter intensified.
01:09Even Mr. Bostroy doesn't want anything to do with her!
01:13She's definitely the mistress!
01:16Fists rained down on me again.
01:18I curled up on the pavement.
01:20The physical pain was nothing compared to what I felt in my heart.
01:24Lying there, with my face covered in blood,
01:27I finally understood.
01:30He wasn't doing this out of loyalty to his brother.
01:33He had clearly fallen in love with Avine.
01:37When I opened my eyes, I was lying in my own bed.
01:40The butler told me the police had brought me home.
01:44Today is Tuesday, so Mr. Bostor is with Ms. Chairman.
01:47I didn't cry.
01:48You can leave.
01:50I said.
01:54Once alone, I dialed a number.
01:59Professor Vecchistern, I've made up my mind.
02:02I'm going abroad to join the Cryo-Dental Research Project.
02:06My mother had been a pioneer in cryonartic technology.
02:09She passed away before seeing the experiment succeed.
02:14I gave up my career as a scientist to Mary Beckham.
02:21Now, reality had stripped away everything.
02:26Beth, once you join this secret project,
02:28your records will be wiped from the country.
02:30You may never see Mr. Bostor again.
02:33I'm sure.
02:34I'll leave in seven days.
02:37I had just closed my eyes when my phone rang again.
02:46Ms. Lepton, Mrs. Jarrah showed up at the nursing home today.
02:49She told your father you're a homewrecker.
02:50He collapsed the moment he heard it.
02:52My heart stopped.
02:53The doctor issued a critical condition notice.
02:56Acute cerebral hemorrhaging.
02:58He's in emergency surgery right now.
03:08The blood drained from my face,
03:10ignoring the agonizing pain of my injuries.
03:12I rushed to the hospital.
03:14Traffic lights blurred into streaks.
03:15When I finally stumbled to the emergency room doors,
03:18the light above the operating room flickered out.
03:21The doctor stepped out and shook his head slowly.
03:25Mrs. Levorst, your father has passed away.
03:28Before he died, he left a message for you.
03:31What did he say?
03:32I grabbed his white coat.
03:34He said,
03:36he no longer has a daughter as shameless as you.
03:46The world spun violently.
03:49I collapsed onto the cold floor.
03:51I hadn't cried when posters branded me a slut.
03:53I hadn't cried when strangers pulled my hair and beat me bloody.
03:56But now,
03:58the dam broke.
04:03My father's final words were like,
04:05were like piercing Mike knives,
04:07piercing my heart.
04:09Then I heard familiar footstamps.
04:13Beckham stood at the end of the corridor
04:14in a perfectly tailored black suit.
04:17Avian lunged tightly to his arm.
04:19It was Tuesday Aveny's day.
04:22The first time in years he'd appeared before me on her day.
04:26Hatred exploded from my chest.
04:32Avina went to the nursing home and slandered me.
04:35She killed my father.
04:36This stupid split marriage is just because you're in love with.
04:42A sharp slap landed hard across my face.
04:47My head snapped to the side.
04:49Blood filled my mouth.
04:50Beckham's eyes were cold as ice.
04:52You're the one ruining things between Ava and me.
04:55Your father died of shame because of you,
04:56a shameless mistress.
04:58You deserve this.
05:00He pulled Avani close and walked away.
05:02Not even a flicker of regret.
05:06My phone buzzed.
05:10He texted me to explain the slap.
05:12Sorry baby,
05:13I need you to bear with this for Ava's sake.
05:15I'll take you to that restaurant in seven days to make it up to you.
05:19I stared at the screen and let out a jagged laugh.
05:23Too bad Beckham.
05:24In seven days you would never see me again.
05:27The funeral was quiet.
05:28I stood before my father's cold headstone and laid white lily in the earth.
05:33When I returned to the villa, the scent of home cooking drifted from the kitchen.
05:37Beckham stood at the stove in an apron.
05:43Honestly, you were far too impulsive at the hospital.
05:46Ava was right there.
05:48I looked up at him.
05:49Fine.
05:50It won't happen again.
05:54His chest tightened at my hollow response.
05:58Then his phone rang.
06:03Bray, I miss you.
06:04I'm already outside the villa.
06:05Beckham Bosterd's face changed.
06:11He turned to me, his tone pleading.
06:14Beth, hide in the closet.
06:16Don't let Ava see you.
06:19You know I'm claustrophobic.
06:21Enclosed spaces have been my greatest fear since I was little.
06:25Hesitation flickered across his face for only a second.
06:27I'm sorry then.
06:31A blow to the back of my neck.
06:37When I woke, I was trapped inside the closet.
06:40From outside came the sounds of Beckham and a VN together.
06:43Then Avene's cold voice cut through the silence.
06:48It must have been agonizing, Elizabeth.
06:51Trapped in that closet all night.
06:54Forced to listen while your own husband was intimate.
06:57With another woman.
07:02The closet door opened.
07:06I stared at her.
07:09You really thought I was in the dark, didn't you?
07:12My fragile health was all an act.
07:15Beckham is the one I've loved from the start.
07:19My hand swung and slapped her across the face.
07:23Footsteps approached.
07:25Avene collapsed to the floor, clutching her cheek.
07:27Beth!
07:27Beckham stormed over.
07:28I only came here to make peace.
07:31Why would you hit me?
07:32Beckham's expression darkened.
07:35Then he stormed into the bedroom.
07:38His gaze locked onto the crystal bracelet on the knitstand, the last thing I had left of my mother.
07:43He snatched it up and slammed it against the floor.
07:46My mother's last keepsake, shattered into pieces.
07:50No!
07:52Seven years earlier, the university anniversary gala, Beckham knelt on one knee on stage, holding a small silver ring.
07:59His eyes sparkled with devotion.
08:02Beth, I will never let you be wronged.
08:05I covered my mouth, tears in my eyes.
08:07I had never believed in love until Beckham appeared in my life.
08:10Our wedding day, I wore a white dress and veil, standing on the red carpet.
08:15His eyes shone like stars.
08:16I will protect you for a lifetime.
08:18You will be my only pretreasure forever.
08:21In the early days of our marriage, he was the husband everyone envied.
08:24When I had menstrual cramps, he searched the city late at night to find my favorite honey lemon tea.
08:29On stormy nights, he pulled me close and held me tight until I fell asleep in his arms.
08:33Whenever I worked late, he always left a warm lamp on to welcome me home.
08:38I truly believed I had married the best man in the world.
08:41Then tragedy struck.
08:43One day, Beckham returned home with bloodshot eyes.
08:48His twin brother Brayden had passed away.
08:50He left behind a frail and sickly widow Avani.
08:53Beckham was terrified Avani would be consumed by grief if she learned the truth.
08:56So he decided to pose as Brayden.
08:59From that moment, his life was split.
09:03Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays with me.
09:05Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays with Avani.
09:09This is only temporary.
09:11He promised.
09:12I'll reveal the truth once Ava's mental state has stabilized.
09:15Seeing him fragile and helpless for the first time, I felt sorry for him.
09:20I nodded.
09:21I believed it would be a temporary sacrifice, a simple gesture of understanding between a husband and wife.
09:26I had no idea this would make my life a living hell.
09:29From that day on, even during our deepest intimacy, the moment the clock struck midnight, he would push me away.
09:37Cold and detached, he would leave for Avani without a second thought.
09:44To reassure her further, he began appearing in public as Brayden.
09:49He claimed it was actually Beckham who had passed away.
09:53I stumbled forward, grasping for the broken pieces of my mother's bracelet 1v1.
10:03The sharp edges sliced into my palms, but I barely felt them.
10:13Do you have any idea that Avina has been lying to you this entire...
10:16Before I could finish, Avani clutched her chest and let out a weak cry.
10:21Beckham's attention snapped to her instantly.
10:23He swept her into his arms and strode away without looking back.
10:28I stared at his retreating figure.
10:30Every breath a jagged, tearing pain.
10:32He had been so close to finally learning the truth.
10:35Over the next few days, Beckham treated me with a level of care I hadn't seen in years.
10:43Expensive jewelry appeared on my nightstand.
10:46Limited edition handbags were delivered to the door.
10:48One night, he even stayed past midnight without rushing to Avani's side.
10:53Once, I would have thought he had finally come to his senses.
10:56Now, I only found it bitterly ironic.
10:58I quietly accepted every gift.
11:00I didn't cry or complain.
11:01I simply counted down the days in my heart three days left before the lab car would come.
11:07He had spent the past days drowning me in gifts and guilty tenderness.
11:11And I had accepted all of it without a word.
11:13I even let him feed me soup with his own hands.
11:17Suddenly the villa door burst open.
11:20A group of police officers rushed in.
11:25Mr. Bostrack, we've received a report.
11:27A black cullin mare was involved in a hit and run in an unmonitored lane.
11:34The driver was under the influence.
11:36The perpetrator claims to be your wife.
11:38Beckham set the bowl down, his face turning grim.
11:41He had just given Avani a black cullinan the week before.
11:44Mr. Bostrack, please hand over your wife at once.
11:49Beckham hesitated for only a fraction of a second.
11:51Then he pointed directly at me.
11:55She is my legal wife.
11:56She's the one on the marriage certificate.
11:58Take her.
11:59I went completely numb, so this was the only time he had ever acknowledged me as his wife
12:03when he needed a scapegoat.
12:05I searched his face for a flicker of hesitation, a trace of guilt anything.
12:09But Beckham only looked away.
12:12The police snapped handcuffs around my wrists and led me out, from beginning to end.
12:16He never said a single word in my defense.
12:21Life in prison was a living hell, the moment I arrived.
12:24The other inmates recognized me from the internet.
12:27This is the one who stole someone's husband?
12:29The one who hit someone while driving drunk?
12:33Trash.
12:33Let's give her what she deserves.
12:35During the day, they snatched my food and doused me with cold water,
12:38forcing me to kneel on the floor and apologize to everyone.
12:41At night, they pulled my hair and beat me until my body was covered in bruises.
12:45Old injuries layered over new ones.
12:47Leaving not a single patch of skin unharmed.
12:50I didn't resist.
12:51I didn't beg for mercy.
12:52My heart had died long ago.
12:54And no physical pain could compare to the agony I carried in my chest.
12:59One day they pinned me to the ground again.
13:01Kicking and punching until my vision blurred and every breath became a struggle.
13:07Just as I thought they might actually kill me.
13:10A tall figure burst in.
13:14Stop!
13:15The voice was anxious and hoarse so painfully familiar that my heart jolted.
13:20It sounded exactly like Beckham.
13:22But before I could see who it was, everything went black.
13:25When I forced my eyes open again, I was bound tight with rough rope, balanced on the edge of a
13:30cliff.
13:31A bottomless chasm yawned beneath me.
13:33Avani was also bound nearby.
13:35She fixed me with a venomous stare.
13:38I paid those people in prison to torture you to death.
13:42I never thought you'd make it out alive.
13:44A chill shot through my entire body.
13:48I've already called Beckham.
13:51He'll be here soon.
13:53You're going to see once and for all who he chooses to save first!
13:58I slowly closed my eyes.
14:01There's no need for this.
14:04He'll definitely save you.
14:06Rapid footsteps approached.
14:07Beckham rushed over, panic in his voice.
14:11Stop!
14:13Let them go!
14:14The kidnapper sneered and stepped forward with a knife.
14:18Mr. Bostrade, you can only pick one.
14:22The air turned to ice.
14:23I closed my eyes peacefully.
14:25I was already prepared to hear him choose Avani.
14:29I'm saving both of you.
14:31I won't leave anyone behind.
14:33The hope on Avani's face froze.
14:35Police sirens pierced the air.
14:37The kidnapper's expression twisted.
14:40He turned toward me and gave me a violent shove.
14:44I lost my balance instantly.
14:46As I fell toward the bottomless abyss, I gathered the last of my strength to look up.
14:52Beckham was rushing toward Avani, pulling her tightly into his arms.
14:55He didn't glance at me once, not even for a second.
15:00When I finally woke, I didn't even have time to realize I was alive before a hard slap landed across
15:05my face.
15:06Blood trickled from the corner of my mouth.
15:08Beckham stood over me, his face dark with fury.
15:11Avani stood behind him, clutching her cheek with tearful eyes.
15:16Avie told me everything.
15:18You hired those kidnappers.
15:21You staged this entire thing just to force me to choose you.
15:24I looked at his stony face and let out a hollow laugh.
15:28I've done nothing wrong.
15:30Why should I apologize?
15:32His voice dropped to a lethal chill.
15:34Get her in the car.
15:35Two bodyguards hauled me up and shoved me into the vehicle.
15:40The car stopped at the entrance of a cemetery.
15:43I was dragged out.
15:46When I saw where we were, the blood turned to ice in my veins, my father's grave.
15:51Beckham stood before the tombstone, a shovel gripped in his hands.
15:56You enjoy tormenting Ava, don't you?
15:59Today, I'm going to make sure you learn the price of hurting her.
16:03No!
16:05Beckham, please!
16:06That's my father!
16:07He's already gone!
16:09You can't...
16:10Beckham refused to look at me.
16:11He raised the shovel and brought it down.
16:15The first strike, I flinched as if the blade had pierced my own heart.
16:20Beckham, please!
16:23The second strike, soil flew through the air.
16:26The photo on the tombstone gazed back at me, my father's smile gentle and kind.
16:30I crawled forward desperately, my nails digging into the hard earth.
16:33The pain of my nails snapping was nothing.
16:35Dad!
16:36I'm sorry!
16:37It's all my fault!
16:39The bodyguards held me in a vice grip.
16:41The third.
16:42The fourth.
16:42The fifth.
16:43I cried until my throat was raw.
16:45I stared at the deepening pit, remembering the funeral placing white lily into the earth,
16:50promising I would live well.
16:52A piercing scream tore from my throat.
16:54My body went limp.
16:57I didn't know how much time had passed.
16:59When I woke, I was lying in a guest room back at the villa.
17:03Then Beckham's voice drifted in from the study next door.
17:08I know Elizabeth was wronged about the kidnapping, but I've already fallen for Ava.
17:16Honestly, everything would have been fine if she'd just played along.
17:19A deathly chill spread through my body.
17:21He knew everything.
17:23He knew I was innocent, and he still chose to let me take the fall.
17:28I lay in the guest room.
17:29Tears sliding down my face in silence.
17:32The pain was so extreme it had finally turned into a dull numbness.
17:35My phone vibrated.
17:37Miss Levelton, your seven days are up.
17:40The lab car is waiting at the entrance to take you to the airport.
17:43I opened the door and climbed into the black car waiting outside as the car pulled away.
17:48My phone buzzed again.
17:52What present do you want?
17:53I'll take you to pick something out tomorrow.
17:56I stared at Beckham's message and let out a hollow laugh.
17:58Tears fell all over again.
18:00I didn't.
18:01Reply, I hit delete and erased our entire chat history.
18:05Outside, the city lights grew fainter and fainter.
18:08Beckham, we would never meet again.
18:11In the study, Beckham leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples.
18:14He stared at my unanswered message for a long moment, then casually opened a news app.
18:20A push notification popped up.
18:23Cryogranic human experiment relaunched after years.
18:26Key researchers have flown abroad.
18:28Beneath the headline was a photo a slender figure in a long black coat.
18:31Beckham's hand stilled on the mouse.
18:36Beckham enlarged the photo on his screen, studying the figure in the black coat.
18:40He stayed like that for a long moment, unmoving.
18:43His phone vibrated on the desk.
18:45Aveni's name flashed on the screen.
18:48Bray, I haven't been able to sleep since the kidnapping.
18:52Can you come stay with me?
18:54I'm on my way.
18:55He drove to Aveni's apartment.
18:57The moment he pushed the door open, she threw herself into his arms in a silk nightgown.
19:04She took his hand and pressed it against her chest.
19:07Feel how fast my heart is beating.
19:10Don't leave tonight.
19:11Beckham stood still for a moment, then quietly pulled his hand away.
19:16I'm a little tired.
19:17I'm going to shower first.
19:19He went into the bathroom and
19:22stayed under the cold water for a long time.
19:26Aveni waited in the bedroom.
19:28But when he finally came out, he went straight to the spare room.
19:32The next morning, he woke early.
19:34Passing by the kitchen, Beckham's footsteps halted outside the kitchen door.
19:37He heard Aveni's voice on the phone cold and venomous.
19:40Nothing like her usual soft tone.
19:43The accident involving Brayden wasn't an accident at all.
19:47I orchestrated the whole thing so I'd have a reason to stay by Jeckham's side.
19:56Beckham threw the door open.
19:58Aveni spun around.
19:59All color drained from her face.
20:02He clamped his hand around her throat.
20:04You knew the truth the entire time!
20:08And you killed my brother!
20:10Her face turned purple.
20:12She clawed at his arms, gasping.
20:14He threw her violently to the ground.
20:17She crawled toward him on her hands and knees.
20:20I'm sorry!
20:22I only did it because I love you too much.
20:24It was always you, never Brayden!
20:27But you were already with Elizabeth.
20:30I had no choice!
20:33Shut up!
20:34He slapped her hard across the face.
20:38Blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.
20:41We're in this together now!
20:44Avina cried.
20:45For years you've been living as Brayden in public.
20:49If the truth comes out,
20:51the Bostrock reputation will collapse!
20:55They'll call you a fraud who stole his own brother's identity!
21:00Beckham froze.
21:03She was right.
21:05After a long silence,
21:07he called his head of security.
21:11Lock a villain up.
21:12Confiscate all her devices.
21:16He strode out without a second glance.
21:20Beckham found himself standing outside a familiar jewelry store.
21:25The same place where we had picked out our wedding rings.
21:28The clerk greeted him warmly.
21:31Mr. Bostrid,
21:32are you here to pick out a gift for Mrs. Leventil?
21:35We just received a new story necklace.
21:38It symbolizes wholehearted devotion.
21:42The words hit Beckham like a ton of lead.
21:45He thought of me with a 41 Celsius fever,
21:48hearing him say,
21:49Today is Tuesday.
21:51He thought of me attacked in the street,
21:54calling for help while he hung up.
21:56He thought of my father's death,
21:59how he slapped me,
22:00how he dug up that grave.
22:02With trembling hands,
22:04he called his assistant.
22:07What kind of devotion was that?
22:09Have the starry necklace delivered to Elizabeth immediately.
22:13Silence on the other end.
22:14Mr. Bostar,
22:15haven't you seen the news?
22:17His heart jolted.
22:18He opened the link.
22:19This time, he enlarged the photo.
22:22The familiar figure in the black coat.
22:24It was me.
22:25It really was me.
22:28Beckham felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen.
22:33He dashed out of the jewelry store like a madman.
22:38His hands trembled so much,
22:40he could barely start the car.
22:42He ran several red lights.
22:45Beth!
22:46Elizabeth!
22:48He burst into the villa,
22:50shouting my name.
22:51No response.
22:52In the past,
22:53I would always be sitting quietly in the living room waiting for him,
22:57always leaving a light on.
22:59Now the villa was frighteningly quiet.
23:01He staggered upstairs and pushed open my bedroom door.
23:04Empty.
23:05The walls that used to hold my favorite paintings were bare.
23:08The wardrobe was half-opened.
23:10All my clothes gone.
23:11The dressing table was spotless.
23:12The entire room held not a single trace of me.
23:16It was as if I had never appeared in his life.
23:20Beth,
23:22where are you?
23:24His gaze fell on a photo album left in the corner.
23:27With trembling hands,
23:28he opened it.
23:31The first page,
23:33the university sports field.
23:35I stood not far away,
23:37holding a bottle of water.
23:39My eyes curved in a smile.
23:41The second page,
23:42the gala where he knelt with a silver ring.
23:46I covered my mouth,
23:47tears in my eyes,
23:49smiling with compartable happiness.
23:52The third page,
23:54our wedding.
23:55I wore white,
23:57holding his arm,
23:58eyes shining like stars.
23:59Then the bits and pieces of married life.
24:02Me quietly cooking him late night snacks.
24:05Staying by his bedside when he was sick.
24:08Leaning on his shoulder,
24:09watching the sunrise.
24:10Saying I wanted to spend my whole life with him.
24:15Every photo held my wholehearted love.
24:20Beckham turned page after page.
24:23Tears falling onto the album.
24:25He finally understood what he had missed.
24:28At last,
24:29he reached the final page.
24:31Our first wedding anniversary.
24:33Below the photo,
24:34a line in my handwriting.
24:36I never believed in love.
24:38But Beckham's appearance
24:39made me feel
24:41that there are still exceptions in this world.
24:44Beckham and I,
24:45for eternity,
24:46never to deporate it.
24:49A loud noise exploded in his mind.
24:52All his defenses collapsed.
24:55He hugged the album and fell heavily to his knees,
24:58letting out a heart-ranking scream.
25:05His phone vibrated.
25:07His special assistant.
25:10How is the investigation going?
25:12Where is Beth?
25:13Mr. Bosterter.
25:14We can't find any trace of Miss Leviton.
25:15All her information in the country has been erased.
25:17It's as if she never existed in this world at all.
25:19The phone slipped from his hand.
25:21She had erased everything.
25:23Then the assistant's voice came through again.
25:26We found a letter Mrs. Levite left behind.
25:28I've sent it to your email.
25:30Beckham crawled toward the computer.
25:32The letter opened.
25:33My handwriting.
25:35Beckham,
25:36I was already on a plane heading abroad.
25:38This time,
25:39I will not look back.
25:41For you,
25:42I gave up my mother's research,
25:44let go of my future,
25:45and waited in that empty house.
25:47I waited for you to not return late at night.
25:51Waited for your cold indifference.
25:54Waited for your posterous answer
25:55when I was insulted by thousands
25:57and beaten in the street.
25:58I waited from hopeful anticipation
26:00to utter despair.
26:04Beckham,
26:05I do not blame you for not loving me.
26:07I only blame myself for loving and trusting the wrong person.
26:10This time,
26:11I will follow my mother's last wish.
26:15From now on,
26:16there will be no more Elizabeth in this world.
26:19Between us,
26:19it ends here.
26:20In this life,
26:22we shall not see each other anymore.
26:26Beckham read the letter again and again.
26:28It is not people who cannot withstand time,
26:31or time that cannot withstand the figital of people.
26:34This man who once dominated Philadelphia,
26:36curled up on the cold floor
26:38and cried like a homeless child.
26:40A few days later,
26:42he stood before the cameras at a press conference.
26:44His face was hangered,
26:46his eyes bloodshot.
26:47It was me who wronged Beth.
26:50I was blind.
26:51I trusted the wrong person
26:53and hurt her deeply.
26:55I am willing to spend my whole life repenting.
26:58Public opinion reversed instantly.
27:00Everyone cursed Beckham's coldness
27:01and Avena's venomous heart.
27:05Avena was arrested for intentional homicide.
27:08The Bostrouch Group's stock price plummeted.
27:14Beckham went alone to Brayden's grave and knelt.
27:19I was deceived by your killer for so many years.
27:22I protected her,
27:23spoiled her,
27:24and drove the one who loved me most to a dead end.
27:27What I owe you,
27:27I will repay.
27:28But now I must go find Beth.
27:32He resigned from all positions,
27:34sold his villa,
27:35his cars,
27:36everything,
27:36donated it all to the Cryonistics
27:38Research Center in my name.
27:40Then he walked into the sunset alone.
27:43I am going to find her.
27:45Maybe a month,
27:46maybe 10 years.
27:47If I can't find her,
27:49I will search for a lifetime.
27:53I settled in a small town
27:55at the foot of the Alps in Switzerland.
27:57During the day,
27:58I wore a white lab coat
28:00and worked with the research team
28:03on Fryvagenics.
28:05In the evening,
28:06I would sit in the yard
28:08and gaze at the stars.
28:11The wounds I had suffered in Philadelphia
28:13were gradually snooved.
28:14That evening,
28:16a gentle voice sounded behind me.
28:18Beth,
28:19wait a moment.
28:20Alonzo Scott,
28:21a colleague from the research team,
28:23the most considerate person to me
28:25when I first arrived.
28:27He had helped me translate
28:28when I couldn't speak the language,
28:30guided me through the town,
28:32taught me everyday German.
28:36Do you have time?
28:37I know an American restaurant nearby.
28:40We sat in the courtyard
28:41as the sun set through the leaves.
28:43Steamed fish,
28:44boiled shrimp,
28:46stir-fried vegetables.
28:47I took a bite
28:47and a faint smile appeared in my eyes.
28:50Mr. Scott,
28:51thank you.
28:52When I first came here,
28:53it was you who kept helping me.
28:56It's our good fortune
28:57that you were willing
28:58to give up everything
28:59to join this research.
29:01Working with someone
29:02as dedicated and resilient as you
29:04is my honor.
29:06I rolled up my sleeves.
29:09The scars on my arms
29:10stood out conspicuously.
29:13Alonzo's gaze fell on my scars.
29:15What happened?
29:16I paused,
29:17then spoke slowly.
29:18It happened in Philadelphia.
29:20I was assaulted in the street.
29:22I told him everything.
29:25When I finished,
29:26his eyes were filled with pain.
29:28So when you left,
29:29it wasn't just to fulfill
29:31your mother's last wish,
29:32but to get away
29:32from those awful people.
29:34Yes.
29:35But everything is over now.
29:37I looked up at the distant sunset.
29:39Here, I have research I love,
29:41friends I can talk to.
29:43Every day is fulfilling.
29:44I no longer have to wait
29:45for someone who will never return.
29:47Alonzo was quiet for a moment.
29:50If one day,
29:51Beck A comes looking for you,
29:53what will you do?
29:55He won't come.
29:57He and I have long since parted ways,
29:59never to meet again in this life.
30:01A genuine smile appeared on his face.
30:04Beth,
30:04you are the strongest woman
30:06I have ever met.
30:07From now on,
30:08let's focus on our research together.
30:09He raised his teacup toward me.
30:11I lifted my glass
30:12and clinked it lightly with his.
30:14Okay.
30:16Beckham's search took him
30:17across the world.
30:18A remote desert town
30:19in western France,
30:2017 days,
30:21no news.
30:23Every night,
30:24he curled up on a hard motel bed,
30:27holding the photo album.
30:29A small city in northern Canada,
30:3220 days in blizzard's sub-zero cold.
30:34His fingers turned blue.
30:36His stomach burned with pain.
30:39His body reached its limit.
30:41A seaside town in Denmark.
30:43The rain was especially heavy that day.
30:46He collapsed on the cold, slippery road.
30:50When he woke,
30:52an American aunt had saved him.
30:54Young man,
30:54are you trying to risk your life?
30:56I'm looking for someone.
30:58I wronged her and broke her heart.
31:00If I can't find her,
31:02I will never be at peace.
31:03After two days of rest,
31:05he set out again.
31:08Months later,
31:09he finally set foot in Switzerland.
31:11Snow-capped mountains.
31:13Tranquil towns.
31:15He carried the photo,
31:16asking from town to town.
31:18His voice was horky,
31:19his face hollow,
31:20his clothes tattered.
31:22Just when he was nearly consumed by despair,
31:24he walked into an American restaurant.
31:27Excuse me.
31:29Have you seen this lady?
31:30The owner took the photo and studied it.
31:33This woman.
31:34I think I've seen her.
31:36In that small town in the Southern Valley,
31:38there's a group of Americans doing research.
31:39One of them looks very much like her.
31:42Time seemed to stand still.
31:45Tears welled up in Beckham's eyes.
31:47Months of wandering.
31:49Thousands of miles.
31:50Finally meaning.
31:51He set off toward the Southern Valley.
31:54In the laboratory,
31:55I was recording data
31:57when a colleague pushed the door open.
31:59Beth,
32:00someone is looking for you outside.
32:02I nodded and stepped out.
32:05The moment I opened the main door,
32:07I froze.
32:09Beckham.
32:09He was so thin,
32:10he was almost unrecognizable.
32:12His cheekbones jutted out,
32:13his eyes were sunken.
32:14The man who once wore custom suits
32:16without a single flaws,
32:18now stood in tattered clothes,
32:20covered in dirt.
32:21Only his eyes.
32:22At the moment they saw me,
32:24lit up with a mad brilliance.
32:26His legs gave out.
32:28With a heavy thud,
32:30he knelt before me.
32:32Beth,
32:32I finally found you.
32:34I was wrong.
32:35I truly know I was wrong.
32:37Avena was sent to prison.
32:38I resigned,
32:39sold everything,
32:40donated it all in your name.
32:42All I want is you.
32:44Please forgive me.
32:46Let me spend my whole life
32:47making it up to you.
32:48He cried like a lost child.
32:50I simply stood there quietly,
32:52looking down at him.
32:54After a long time,
32:56I spoke.
32:57I don't hate you anymore.
33:00Immense joy burst in his eyes.
33:05Then I continued.
33:07I don't hate you,
33:08and I will not forgive you.
33:10Because to let myself feel anything
33:12for someone unimportant
33:13is just a waste of my time.
33:17Beckham's face went pale.
33:19You...
33:20What did you say?
33:21To me,
33:22you are already an unimportant person.
33:25I will not hate you,
33:26and even less will I forgive you.
33:28Because you are not worth it.
33:29He shook his head violently.
33:31I don't believe it.
33:32You're still angry.
33:33You can scold me.
33:35Hit me.
33:35Just don't treat me like this.
33:38Footsteps echoed from the corridor.
33:40Alonzo appeared,
33:41holding experiment records.
33:43His brows frontaled
33:44at the sight of Beckham
33:45kneeling in rags.
33:47Beth,
33:48what's going on?
33:49Just an unimportant person.
33:51Beckham's gaze locked onto Alonzo.
33:54Wild jealousy cloud his eyes.
33:57Is it because of this man
33:59that you refuse to forgive me?
34:01I let out a laugh of exasperation.
34:04Beckham,
34:04you're still so narcissistic.
34:06It's not anyone's fault.
34:08My heart died for you long ago.
34:10When you let Avian hurt me,
34:12when you dug up my father's grave,
34:14when you pushed me into the abyss
34:15again and again,
34:16my feelings for you died.
34:18Alonzo stepped forward,
34:20shielding me.
34:20I think Beth has made herself very clear.
34:24This is a research facility.
34:26People like you are not welcome here.
34:27Two security guards strode over.
34:29They dragged Beckham out.
34:32Beth!
34:33I was wrong!
34:34Please look back at me!
34:39The laboratory doors slammed shut.
34:43In the days that followed,
34:45Beckham waited outside the laboratory every day.
34:49He slept under the bridge nearby,
34:51surviving on bread bought with spare change.
34:56He could see me in my white meat lab coat,
34:58busy inside.
35:01But whenever he took a step closer,
35:04the guards drove him away.
35:06Inside the laboratory,
35:07my life remained calm.
35:09We made a significant breakthrough
35:11in cryogenics research.
35:13Sebastian gathered everyone,
35:15special meeting.
35:16After our joint efforts,
35:17the cryo chamber has completed
35:18its basic calibration.
35:20Next comes the most crucial step,
35:21the human experiment.
35:23He paused.
35:24The cryo chamber will initiate
35:25a 50-year deep freeze.
35:27We can only guarantee
35:28the survival of the body.
35:29We cannot be sure
35:32whether consciousness
35:33will remain intact.
35:34The room fell silent.
35:3650 years.
35:37No one knew whether what awaited us
35:39was new life
35:39or eternal slumber.
35:41My fingertips curled slightly.
35:43This was my mother's lifelong wish
35:45and the reason I came here.
35:46I'll volunteer.
35:47Almost at the same minute,
35:48Alonzo raised his head.
35:50I'll volunteer too.
35:52The date for the experiment was set.
35:55Colleagues helped us
35:56with final checks.
35:58I dressed in the specially made
36:00experimental suit
36:01and lay in the cold cryo chamber.
36:04Adalonzo lay beside me.
36:06The outer shell slowly closed.
36:09Just before the final hat shut,
36:12a heart ring cry
36:13pierced through the glass.
36:15That voice was horsty
36:16and broken.
36:17Outside,
36:18Beckham had been stopped
36:20by the guards.
36:21He clutched a bracelet
36:22in his hand,
36:23one he had commissioned,
36:25identical to the first one
36:26he gave me years ago.
36:27But what he waited for
36:28was the guards' cold reply.
36:30Elizabeth is about to enter
36:32the cryo chamber.
36:33She's going to be frozen
36:34for 50 years.
36:3650 years?
36:37Those three words
36:38exploded in
36:39At Beckham's mind.
36:41He went mad,
36:42shoving aside the guards,
36:44running frantically
36:45toward the cryo chamber.
36:46The hatch was right
36:47in front of him.
36:49He gripped the edge
36:50with both hands,
36:51crying desperately.
36:53Beth!
36:54Wake up!
36:55Don't leave me!
36:56Don't lock yourself in there!
36:57The guards tried
36:58to pull him away.
36:59He shook them off violently.
37:02But I would never respond again.
37:04The hatch sealed completely.
37:06Beckham collapsed to his knees.
37:08After a long time,
37:10he raised his tear-straight face.
37:12Beth, I'll wait for you.
37:13I'll wait for you for 50 years.
37:1650 years later,
37:19cryononics had achieved
37:20great success.
37:22The first group
37:23of experimental subjects
37:24had awakened.
37:26Alonzo and I
37:27looked exactly
37:28as they had
37:2950 years ago.
37:31Sebastian's grave
37:32had long been covered
37:33with evergreen grass.
37:35I stood before him
37:36in a simple white dress
37:37and bowed
37:38deeply three times.
37:41Professor Vechstein,
37:43the wish you and my mother
37:45had in life
37:46has been fulfilled.
37:47Alonzo stood by my side,
37:49his gaze as gentle as ever.
37:51Alonzo,
37:52come with me
37:53to see an old acquaintance.
37:57We went to
37:58Rivazide Correctional Facility.
37:59Avena.
38:0150 years in prison
38:02had turned
38:02the once beautiful woman
38:04into a withered shell.
38:05Her temples
38:06were white as snow.
38:08Wrinkles covered
38:09her cheeks.
38:10Her clouded eyes
38:11held only numbness.
38:13Beth,
38:14I read about
38:15your story.
38:16I was blinded
38:18by jealousy
38:18and hatred.
38:19I am sorry.
38:21I have already
38:22received my retribution.
38:24I stood there quietly.
38:26There was no
38:27hatred in my eyes.
38:30If only you had
38:31known this would happen,
38:31why did you do
38:32what you did?
38:33I turned around
38:34and did not look back.
38:37I took Alonzo
38:38back to Philadelphia.
38:40The Bostrog Villa
38:41had changed owners
38:42many times over 50 years.
38:43A young newlywed couple
38:45was decorating the garden.
38:47The girl smiled radiantly
38:49and the boy gently
38:50placed a garland
38:51on her head.
38:53Everything was as beautiful
38:54as Beckham and I
38:55had been 50 years ago.
38:58I stood quietly
38:59by the roadside
39:00watching.
39:0150 years had passed.
39:03Beckerty,
39:03he must have already
39:04died of old age.
39:06Alonzo noticed
39:07my absent-mindedness
39:08and gently held
39:09my hand.
39:11What are you thinking
39:12about?
39:13I looked at his young
39:14and handsome face
39:14and suddenly smiled.
39:16I was thinking
39:17about our wedding.
39:1950 years of life
39:20and death together.
39:2150 years of mutual support.
39:23From research partners
39:24to companions
39:25through life and death.
39:27Alonzo trembled
39:28all over.
39:29Immense joy
39:29filled his heart.
39:31You finally
39:31figured it out, Beth.
39:33Let's have the wedding
39:34in a month, shall we?
39:35Alright!
39:37A month later,
39:39I stood in front
39:40of the floor-de-cleaning
39:40window of the bridal shop.
39:43Alonzo's laughter
39:44came from behind me.
39:45This scene is exactly
39:47like the one in my dream.
39:48He gently embraced
39:49me from behind.
39:50This scene belongs
39:52only to you.
39:53The shop owner
39:54walked up with a smile,
39:55holding a main
39:56wedding gown.
39:57Would you like
39:57to try it on?
39:59I nodded and walked
40:00into the fitting room.
40:02When I came out,
40:03the satin dress
40:04hugged my figure.
40:05The veil draped softly,
40:07covering half my face.
40:10Alonzo's breath caught.
40:11Beth,
40:12you look truly beautiful.
40:13He gently adjusted
40:15my veil,
40:16his fingertips
40:17brushing my cheek.
40:19I lowered my head,
40:21looking at his hands
40:22around my waist.
40:25Fifty years ago,
40:26I had also worn
40:27a white wedding
40:28this dress,
40:29standing before him.
40:31But the happiness
40:32of that time
40:32had come to nothing.
40:35I looked up at Alonzo.
40:36Do I look good?
40:38Beautiful.
40:39The most beautiful
40:40I've ever seen.
40:41He bet down
40:42and pressed a gentle
40:43kiss to my forehead.
40:44On the wedding day,
40:46the sun was
40:47especially bright.
40:48I held Alonzo's arm
40:50and walked step by step
40:52towards the red carpet.
40:56children scattered petals
40:57at our feet.
40:58Aunt Elizabeth,
40:59Uncle Alonzo,
41:00congratulations!
41:02Little girl handed me
41:03a bouquet of freshly
41:04picked flowers.
41:05I kissed her cheek.
41:06The priest stood
41:07before us.
41:09Elizabeth,
41:09do you take Alonzo's
41:10to be your husband,
41:11for richer or poorer,
41:13in sickness and in health,
41:14until the end of your life?
41:15I looked up at Alonzo.
41:17I do.
41:18Alonzo,
41:19do you take Elizabeth
41:19to be your wife?
41:20I do.
41:21I am willing to spend
41:23the rest of my life with her,
41:24to see all the mountains
41:25and rivers
41:25and protect her peace forever.
41:27Applause and cheers erupted.
41:29Alonzo bent down
41:30and gently kissed me
41:31on the lips.
41:32I am so happy.
41:34I said softly.
41:35Me too.
41:36No one noticed
41:37the old man
41:38by the street
41:39outside the church.
41:40White hair,
41:41hunched back,
41:41leaning on a cane.
41:42He wore a faded old shirt,
41:44his face covered with wrinkles.
41:45Beckham stood there,
41:46watching me smile
41:47in my wedding dress.
41:49Fifty years,
41:49enough to turn
41:50Philadelphia stories to dust,
41:51enough to make
41:52one's high-spirited youth stooped.
41:54He coughed softly,
41:55spitting out flumum,
41:56tinged with blood.
41:58His body had long
41:59since failed him.
42:00Fifty years of waiting
42:01outside the cryo chamber
42:02had drained
42:03almost all his life.
42:05But he watched me
42:06embrace Alonzo,
42:07watched the children
42:08laughing around us.
42:09Beth.
42:10His voice was
42:11as light as the wind.
42:12Be happy.
42:13And a trace of relief
42:14flashed in his eyes.
42:15Let's see that Carpyn thing
