Short filmTranscript
00:00Outside a nightclub after midnight, I recognize that guy as my good buddy Dylan,
00:03the one who accused me of sexual harassment and put me in jail.
00:06I got a food delivery order from my ex-wife.
00:08The moment she sees my Papa John's uniform, she's stunned.
00:14Ethan, you're already out of prison? Why didn't you reach out to me?
00:22As she tries frantically to steady him,
00:25recognize that guy as my good buddy Dylan,
00:28the one who accused me of sexual harassment and put me in jail.
00:35Your order, ma'am. Please leave a five-star review.
00:38Losing all control, Ella slaps the bag out of my hand,
00:41her eyes welling up with tears as she grabs my shoulders.
00:44Ethan, come home with me now.
00:46Do you have any idea how much your parents and I missed you?
00:52I calmly shake off her grip and turn to my car,
00:54but my prosthetic leg slams against the bumper.
01:00Ella stares at my artificial limb.
01:06Tears begin to stream down her face.
01:10Ethan, what happened to your leg?
01:13Well, well, if it isn't my buddy Ethan.
01:15When did they let you out?
01:17Why didn't you give me a call, man?
01:19I could have picked you up.
01:22Dylan, you are really wasted. Please don't move around.
01:26The concern in her voice sounds exactly the same as when she used to talk to me.
01:33Your leg. What did you go through in there over the last ten years?
01:39Excuse me. You're in my way.
01:41My movement is clumsy.
01:43The wind catches the bottom of my pants, exposing the cheap metal underneath.
01:47Ethan, please don't.
01:49Just come home with me, and we can talk about this.
01:55Ma'am, your food has been delivered.
01:57If there's nothing else, I'm marking the order as delivered now.
02:02Ella, why care about this rapist at all?
02:08This guy even did that kind of thing to your bestie, Sarah.
02:11This is exactly what he deserves.
02:12If you ask me, losing a leg is getting off easy for him.
02:16Every word he spits stabs directly into my heart.
02:20Ten years ago, this best buddy of mine got me drunk and threw me into a hotel room.
02:29When I woke up, Sarah was running out of the room, crying with her clothes and disarranged her.
02:34My wife, Ella, burst through the door with the police.
02:37Even more dicky fear in Los Angeles, she openly violated her professional ethics,
02:41committed with that guy, and sent me to prison with her own hands.
02:45Dylan, stop it.
02:47Ethan, you should leave first. It's not a good time for us to talk right now.
02:51I don't say another word.
02:53I pick up the pizza from the ground, put it back in the box,
02:55secure the delivery bag, and step into the car.
03:00Keep the change.
03:01Consider it your tip to buy a better leg.
03:03Stop embarrassing yourself out here with that gimp leg.
03:06Ethan, don't take it to heart.
03:07Dylan is just drunk.
03:08Take this money.
03:09Tomorrow, come find me at the law firm.
03:11I'll arrange a decent job for you.
03:13My life is too cheap to touch your filthy money.
03:17Half an hour later, I drive past a high-end villa district.
03:20The streetlights are bright, shining on the neatly managed lawns.
03:24This place was once home to Ella and me.
03:27I subconsciously slow down the car.
03:29Just then, a black Mercedes pulls up in front of the villa that belonged to us.
03:35Without another look at them, I hit the gas, moving on to my next order.
03:40The cold wind pours through the car window, stinging my face.
03:44The prosthetic joint is rubbing against my limb.
03:46It's already oozing blood.
03:47I grit my teeth, driving all the way back to my rented place.
03:59After unbuckling the straps, I find my stum in a bloody mess.
04:03Ten years ago, when I first went to prison, Dylan came to visit and laughed in my face.
04:07Do you have any idea how slutty he is in bed?
04:10Just live out your days in here.
04:11Your wife, your house, even your law firm.
04:14I'll take real good care of him for you.
04:18Back then, I smashed against the glass, screaming like a madman.
04:23As a result, that very night, I was dragged into a security blind spot by several inmates.
04:27With iron pipes, they crushed my leg bones inch by inch.
04:30Someone paid a forge for this leg of yours.
04:33I was bed-dreadened for half a year.
04:35Eventually, due to a severe infection, I had no choice but to have it amputated.
04:41Back then, I felt so much hatred.
04:44But ten years in prison, eventually turned that hate into despair.
04:48Early the next morning, I'm woken up by a frantic knocking at the door.
04:51I thought it was the landlord coming for the rent again, but it turns out to be Ella.
04:55Ethan, I made some bone breath for you.
04:58Don't take what Dylan said yesterday too seriously.
04:59He's just got a hot temper.
05:01I'm here today to talk about your future.
05:03What future for a pizza delivery guy?
05:06Ma'am, you'd better head back before you ruin your designer clothes.
05:10Ethan, stop talking out of spite.
05:11As long as you apologize to Sarah and get her forgiveness, I'll let you back in the firm.
05:16Even though you won't be a lawyer again, you could still work as a receptionist or a cleaner.
05:19I can pay you $4,000 a month.
05:21I can't help but $4,000?
05:24How generous.
05:25Ella, you want me to apologize to the person who framed me?
05:28Ethan, even now you still refuse to admit your mistakes?
05:33You are the one who did wrong.
05:35You raped Sarah.
05:36You betrayed our marriage.
05:46Ella, did you ever actually look at the case fights back then?
05:53Why did the hallway cameras just happen to break down at that time?
05:59And what exactly was put into the drinks I had that night?
06:02Enough, Ethan.
06:03If it wasn't you, did Dylan and Sarah plan all that just to frame you?
06:06I came here to help you.
06:08You should be grateful.
06:10I don't need your help, hypocrite.
06:13Get the hell out of here.
06:17Ethan, you are being completely unreasonable.
06:19You think you're still that star lawyer at your peak?
06:22You are just a damn croupel now.
06:24A criminal with a record.
06:31Afternoon, just as I'm about to take an order, the app suddenly sends me a notification.
06:35My account is permanently banned due to a customer complaint.
06:38The reason for the complaint is, disabled delivery man attempted to assault a female customer.
06:42I know very well who did it without even thinking twice.
06:44Dylan, you really couldn't wait at all, huh?
06:46Before I can even lock the door, the landlord is already blocking the entrance with several thugs.
06:53Ethan, someone paid ten times the price to rent this place.
06:56Get the hell out, now!
07:01Before I know it, I'm thrown out onto the street.
07:06My clothes and belongings are flung at me.
07:10Right at that moment, a heavy downpour begins.
07:14My stum throbs with pain in the rain.
07:17A black Mercedes pulls over in front of me, splashing muddy water all over my body.
07:23Once the great lawyer, now a miserable stray dog?
07:26Ethan, you're so pathetic.
07:31Ethan, stop being so stubborn.
07:33Just admit your mistake and apologize.
07:35I'll not only give you a job, I'll find you a place to live.
07:38Why back yourself into a corner?
07:40I don't need it.
07:41Can you two scumbags just get the hell away from me?
07:46Ethan, I came here when you went to prison.
07:47If Dylan hadn't stayed by my side, I might have done good and flash out and stupid.
07:51Do you have to lash out at everyone?
07:52Even if you won't accept me, you can't hurt your parents' feelings.
07:55They have been looking for you.
07:57The moment she tootoo ensured us from a distance,
07:59my sit-wear rushing over frantically, without an umbrella in the heavy rain.
08:02You animal!
08:03I can't believe they actually let you out.
08:05We don't have a son like you.
08:06Dylan is our son now!
08:08You damn rapist!
08:09You should have just dropped dead in prison!
08:11Ever since my release, I haven't dared to face my parents.
08:15Terrified they'd be crushed by the gossip and stigma.
08:18Yet, they gave up on me long ago.
08:22Instead, they're trusting Dylan as if he were their own flesh and blood.
08:26Ethan still won't admit his mistake.
08:28He won't even apologize to the victim.
08:29Let's just ignore him.
08:30With Ella and me at the firm, you can enjoy your retirement.
08:32Ethan, if Dylan hadn't managed the firm for us all these years,
08:34our life's work would be all gone.
08:35You still refuse to admit your wrongs.
08:37You're completely on your own now.
08:38Ethan speeds away the next second.
08:40I limp into the night.
08:41Even my own parents won't believe me.
08:43I am such a failure.
08:44But to survive, I head to a construction site to look for manual labor.
08:51Get lost.
08:53We don't hire disabled people here.
08:55I can't afford the liability if something goes wrong.
08:59I'm strong enough.
09:00I'll take only half the wages.
09:02Just throw in a meal.
09:04Go away.
09:06Don't be an I-Zar here.
09:08I fall into the mud, my metal legs slamming against the ground.
09:11I break out in a cold sweat from the pain.
09:14Suddenly, my phone vibrates.
09:16It's a message from Lauren.
09:19I click on it.
09:20It's an audio recording.
09:21Dylan and Sarah's voices come through the phone clearly.
09:24They are discussing how to drug me, how to stage the scene,
09:26and how to get Ellie to bring the police to the door.
09:29So that's it.
09:30Ten years of wrongful imprisonment.
09:31A severed leg.
09:32Finally, I've got the truth.
09:34Seeing me barge in covered in mud,
09:35Ella looks at me in pure shock.
09:36Ethan, what's wrong with you now?
09:38Ella, haven't you been asking me to confess?
09:40Listen for yourself.
09:40Who actually framed me back then?
09:43Dylan, is this really going to work?
09:45Ethan is a star lawyer after all.
09:48If he manages to overturn the case, I'll be finished.
09:51Don't worry.
09:52Everything's taken care of.
09:54Even Ella will help us.
09:56She's been sick of Ethan for a long time.
09:58As long as you stick to the story that he assaulted you,
10:01nothing bad will happen to you.
10:03Ethan, it's been ten years.
10:05I see your NAF for fabricating evidence has improved even more.
10:09Isn't this the exact same trick you used when you framed me?
10:12Got my license revoked by the Bar Association?
10:15Ella Bowie Sidney.
10:16You really think Ella will buy this?
10:18Ethan, I know very well what kind of man Dylan is.
10:21He would never do something like this.
10:23Looking at the phone, Ellie smashed on the floor.
10:26I let out a bitter laugh.
10:28Take him to the back alley and teach him a good lesson.
10:34Just don't kill him.
10:41Raining punches and kicks on me.
10:46You think you can turn the tables with some crappy recording?
10:50Ethan, I'm telling you, nobody in L.A. can touch me.
10:54He grinds his foot down hard of leg.
10:55The intense pain makes me break out in a cold sweat.
10:58Suddenly, the sound of screeching tires echoes at the alley entrance.
11:05The Jew Dillon's men.
11:08A dozen bodyguards instantly who saved my men.
11:13Who gave you the balls to hurt my man who saved my life?
11:17Ten years ago, before I went to prison, I pulled her out of a burning sports car during a multi
11:24-vehicle pile-up.
11:38Who are you people?
11:39Messing with me?
11:40You know whose turf this is.
11:55Who are you?
11:56Assaulting people in broad daylight?
11:58I'm a top lawyer in L.A.
12:00I swear I will sue you into bankruptcy.
12:03You guys will rot in jail.
12:07Reddington Group in L.A.
12:08Lauren Reddington.
12:09If you want to sue me, our legal department is ready and waiting.
12:12Hearing the Reddington's name, Ella's face turns deathly pale, her arrogance vanishing too.
12:16After all, the Reddingtons are a powerhouse that could shake all of L.A. with the snap of a finger.
12:19Dylan is so terrified that he dares not make a sound.
12:28I'm sorry, Ethan.
12:30I came too late.
12:33You're not late.
12:37It just gave me more time to see some people's true colors.
12:40Ethan, you really know how to play the game, huh?
12:42Locked up for ten years and you're hooked up with the Reddings now?
12:45You certainly got yourself a sugar mama!
12:47Ethan, I thought you were just being stubborn.
12:49I never expected you'd even throw away your dignity as a man just to get revenge on us.
12:53Would you rather be a damn gigolo than accept my help?
12:55Ella, besides those filthy fantasies, what else is left in your head?
12:58Your self-righteous sense of justice is nothing but a tool in someone else's hands.
13:02Ethan!
13:03You think you can turn things around just because you got a backer?
13:06I'll fucking kill you for sure!
13:15Ethan, I've been looking for you these past ten years.
13:19After that car accident, I was brought abroad for treatment.
13:22I only found out you were in trouble after I returned.
13:26I knew you were framed by someone.
13:30I've already assembled the best medical and legal teams for you.
13:33A week later, inside the top private realitation facility in Los Angeles,
13:37my left limb is now fitted with the latest million-dollar prosthetic model that Lauren had custom made.
13:42This prosthetic linexed directly to my nerves, allowing me to walk just like a normal person.
13:45A week was all it took for Lauren's people to uncover the full truth of everything.
13:49They found the bank prant transfers showing Dylan bribing the cleaning staff.
13:52There is also a full video of him and Sarah staging the scene in the hotel room.
13:56They even found out every detail of Dylan's petty tricks, how he stole those cases from me years ago.
14:01As it happens, today is the opening party for the merger of their firms,
14:03the founding of the Dylan Ella Law Firm.
14:05They are also announcing their engagement today.
14:07Even my parents will attend as their special guests.
14:10What an auspicious day.
14:11A perfect chance to crash their party.
14:13Ethan, the car is ready.
14:14Let's go.
14:14I have a gift for dear Dylan and Ella.
14:16The party is held at the most luxurious hotel in Los Angeles.
14:18The venue is packed with the city's socialites.
14:20The scene is dazzling.
14:22Dylan wears a custom-tailored suit, arm-in-arm with Ella in a red dress.
14:25The two of them appear on the stage, receiving everyone's blessings.
14:28My parents are sitting at the head table, beaming from ear to ear.
14:31Dylan, such a capable man.
14:33With Ella by his side, we can finally rest easy.
14:36Yeah.
14:38So much better than Ethan.
14:40Hearing those words, the last drake of emotion in my heart fades away as well.
14:44Just as Dylan picks up the microphone, ready to deliver his speech.
14:47Doors are kicked open by a bodyguard.
14:49The once boisterous hall falls silent the next second.
14:51Every eye in the room is fixed on me.
14:52What are you doing here, you damn rapist?
14:54Security, get him out!
14:55Right on cue, several guards rush over with their electric batons.
14:58Before they can even get close to me, Lauren's bodyguards in black draw their batons to stop them,
15:03pinning them firmly to the ground.
15:05In her high heels, Lauren strides past me directly to the front of the stage.
15:11No one touches him.
15:20Ethan!
15:20How long are you going to keep causing trouble?
15:23Have you no shame at all?
15:26Get the hell out!
15:27We don't have a shamed criminal for a son!
15:29The wine glass shatters at my feet.
15:31Shards of glass flying everywhere.
15:35Mom, Dad, you taught me to live a life of integrity when I was little.
15:38Now you are defending the real criminal who framed me?
15:41Who exactly is causing trouble here?
15:45Ethan!
15:46Stop spitting your venom!
15:48You got yourself in jail for raping Sarah.
15:50Now you are out, showing no remorse, but hiring people to make a scene here?
15:54Ladies and gentlemen, please do not believe a word from this piece of trash!
15:59Ethan, just how much longer are you going to keep this up?
16:02Today is our engagement party.
16:04Do you really have to ruin our day with such despicable tricks?
16:08If you want money, I can give it to you.
16:10Just stop harassing us, okay?
16:16One million dollars.
16:18Take this money and leave LA forever.
16:20As long as you never show your face again, I'll let bygones be bygones.
16:23I look at the check, finding everything utterly absurd.
16:27Ella, are you showing chair a homeless guy, or are you just trying to cover up your own crimes?
16:37Ella, why waste our time on him?
16:40He's just a rapist who'd do anything for money.
16:42He deserves to rot in the gutter for the rest of his life.
16:46Mrs. Reddington, I know you are a kind-hearted lady, so you could be easily deceived by silver-tongued liars
16:52like him.
16:52He did that kind of thing to his ex-wife's best friend.
16:56Keeping scum like him around will only bring you trouble.
17:02Since we have everyone here today, let's watch a good show together.
17:08The time span on the video shows the exact night of the incident 10 years ago.
17:12The location is the hallway of that hotel.
17:14Dylan thought he was in the clear after he destroyed the hallway cameras,
17:16but he never expected that Lauren had already bought the entire hotel.
17:19From the moment they enter to the hallways, all the surveillance footage has just been recovered.
17:22On the screen, Dylan razz my dead drunk body as he swipes the room card and opens the door.
17:27He doesn't leave immediately after throwing me in.
17:30Instead, he makes a phone call by the door.
17:32In less than five minutes, Sarah arrives in a hurry.
17:34She's in a revealing nightgown.
17:35The two of them are whispering to each other outside the door.
17:38Sarah's voice rings out from the speakers.
17:40Dylan, Ella will be arriving with the police any minute now.
17:42Has the drug kicked in yet?
17:43What if he wakes up and fights back?
17:47Don't worry.
17:48That dose is enough to knock him out cold.
17:52Go inside and rip your clothes up.
17:53Make it look convincing.
17:56Once this is done, all of his clients will be mine.
18:00You'll get all the designer bags you want.
18:08No.
18:09This can't be.
18:19Turn it off now!
18:21What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:23Don't forget, I'm a lawyer.
18:24I'll sue you for defamation.
18:28The video continues to play.
18:30After Sarah enters the room, Dylan pulls out a stack of cash and hands it to a cleaning lady in
18:34the corner of the hallway.
18:36I've already cut the hallway cameras.
18:37Remember, if anyone asks, just say they were broken.
18:40Two thousand dollars to keep your mouth shut.
18:42Got it?
18:46This is the hard truth.
18:47Ten years of wrongful imprisonment.
18:49Countless days and nights of torture.
18:51At this very moment, it is finally laid a bear for everyone to see.
18:55Ella, is this as you kept the in talking of evidence?
19:00This is your so-tard justice?
19:03Fabric evidence with Dylan and sending your own husband to Drill?
19:07Ella is trembling all over.
19:09No, I didn't.
19:10Ella denies her involvement.
19:11Dylan, tell me this isn't real.
19:13Swear to me this isn't true.
19:14Don't believe him.
19:15AI deepfake technology is so advanced nowadays.
19:17They can fake any video.
19:17Dylan claims the video is a deepfake.
19:19Ethan is just here for revenge.
19:20He's jealous that I'm the one marrying in jealousy.
19:21At this exact moment, the doors are pushed open again.
19:25Dylan!
19:26You bastard!
19:27You said everything was taken care of!
19:30Why did the police find me?
19:32Officers, I was forced to do it!
19:34Dylan made me do everything!
19:36He was also the one who drugged Ethan.
19:38I just went in to put on an act.
19:39He never even touched me!
19:41The scratch marks on my body were Dylan's doing!
19:55Dylan, you lied to me!
19:58You ruined Ethan!
19:59You turned me into the very person who sent my own husband to prison!
20:03How could you be so vicious?
20:06Even now, she is still trying to play the victim.
20:08But she is far from innocent.
20:10You...
20:11You animal!
20:12You framed my own son!
20:14Give me back my son, you damn bastard!
20:17Dylan Cothall, you are under arrest for multiple charges including fabricating evidence and filing false police reports.
20:21You have the right to remain silent.
20:22Anything you say can be used against you in a court of law.
20:28Ella, stop acting so innocent!
20:30You think you're so much better than me?
20:32Back in the day, Ethan was a star lawyer.
20:34He overshadowed you so much that you could barely breathe.
20:36You dreamed of surpassing him and taking his firm for yourself.
20:39I just gave you a little push to make your wish come true!
