The Vanishing
Category

Short filmTranscript
00:00My mom, Lily, is a homewrecker. Everyone knows she breaks families. She told bad lies to steal
00:05my dad away from the nice lady he was supposed to marry. She forced him to marry her. She's
00:09gross. And every time I look at her, I just want to throw up. Every word cuts deep into my
00:16heart.
00:17Leo lowered his cue cards. The entire ballroom fell dead silent. The head butler awkwardly
00:22ushered him off the stage. The socialites raised their champagne glasses, and the snide remarks
00:26came freely. Well, once a woman shoots adult films, no amount of money can wash the dirt off.
00:34Even her own son is disgusted by her. Please, Reed worships the ground she walks on. He's the
00:38wealthiest man in New York, but he even gave up his inheritance for her. Even after she took a
00:42$5 million buyout and abandoned her newborn baby, he still hunted her down and married her. Hearing
00:46those whispers, the agonizing knot in my chest loosened just a fraction. The whole world could
00:51despise me. As long as Oliver loved me unconditionally, that was enough.
00:58That night, passing his study, I heard voices through the half-open door. It shattered my
01:03fantasy into pieces.
01:04Mr. Reed, was it really necessary to let your son humiliate your wife like that? Is that healthy
01:10for the boy?
01:14Did Leo say anything wrong? Besides, he's Tiffany's son. You know that.
01:22Tiffany? The woman who married Oliver in an arranged union after I disappeared? The woman
01:29Leo had called mom for five years? But Oliver told me he'd only married Tiffany so Leo could
01:33have a home. He said he couldn't even stand the sight of her. And Leo? Leo was my son.
01:40How could he be Tiffany's?
01:41When I finally found Lily, she was a wreck. If I told her our baby had died years ago,
01:47it would have broken her completely. So I told her Leo was hers.
01:51My head seemed to explode. A deafening ring took over my ears. During my five years of living
01:56hell across the border, the only thing keeping me alive was the thought of Oliver and our baby.
02:02Turns out my baby was dead. And all this time I had been raising my rival's child.
02:09Did you send the video of Leo's speech to Tiffany?
02:12Yes, sir. All of it. I made sure to zoom in on Mrs. Reed's face. Miss Vance was absolutely thrilled.
02:19Tiffany's so easy to please. Humiliate Lily a little and she does whatever I want in bed.
02:23Not like Lily. She's already been passed around and used up, yet she still pulls that traumatized
02:28victim act on me. Won't even let me leave the lights on. Totally kills the mood. Then who do you
02:33actually love, sir? I love Lily. I know she was forced to leave somehow and she'll always be
02:38Mrs. Reed. But she's tainted now. Tiffany loves me. She doesn't ask for a ring and she's a total
02:44freak in bed. Leo adores her. Having an extra body to warm the sheets changes absolutely nothing.
02:50I don't remember how I made it back to our bedroom. Humiliation and anguish tore at my insides,
02:56leaving me cold all over, yet unable to shed a single tear. Oliver's great love was alive from the very
03:02beginning. Lily, Leo is doing perfectly fine at school. There was a little mishap during his
03:12speech today, but he's just a child. Don't take it to heart. Clinging to one last hope,
03:16I reached back and rested my hand on his chest.
03:23I'm exhausted tonight, babe. The sound of running shower water woke me up.
03:28The sound came from the bathroom, mixed with his heavy panting.
03:37Oh, God. Phone sex is so much hotter. Aren't you afraid your wife will hear us?
03:43Let her. She's so damn clueless, she'd probably think I'm jerking off to her.
03:52The fake death plan. I'm in.
03:59I love Lily. I know she was forced to leave somehow and she'll always be Mrs. Reed,
04:04but she's tainted now. Tiffany loves me. She doesn't ask for a ring and she's a total freak in bed.
04:10Leo adores her. Having an extra body to warm the sheets changes absolutely nothing.
04:15I don't remember how I made it back to our bedroom. Humiliation and anguish tore at my insides,
04:20leaving me cold all over, yet unable to shed a single tear. Oliver's great love was alive from
04:26the very beginning. Lily, Leo is doing perfectly fine at school. There was a little mishap during
04:36his speech today, but he's just a child. Don't take it to heart. Clinging to one last hope,
04:41I reached back and rested my hand on his chest.
04:47I'm exhausted tonight, babe.
04:49The sound of running shower water woke me up. The sound came from the bathroom mixed with his
04:55heavy panting.
05:02Oh God. Phone sex is so much hotter. Aren't you afraid your wife will hear us?
05:08Let her. She's so damn clueless, she'd probably think I'm jerking off to her.
05:16The fake death plan. I'm in.
05:23Seven years ago, Oliver and I fell in love. But his family hated me. On the night I gave
05:29birth, we planned to run away together. Instead, his family kidnapped me. They sold me to a cartel
05:35in Mexico and told Oliver I took a payoff and abandoned him. For years, I lived through hell.
05:39When Oliver finally tracked me down and saved me, Leo was already five. But Leo was never my son.
05:48What's wrong, Lily? Nightmares again? Shh. It's okay. I'm here.
06:00Oliver, I need your signature on something tomorrow.
06:03Uh-huh. Sure. Bring it to me tomorrow.
06:05The next day was my late mother's birthday. He still got up early to make French toast for me.
06:10Anyone would think he's a devoted, loving husband. But this time,
06:14I noticed he made two portions of breakfast.
06:17Dad, Mom hasn't eaten yet. You know her stomach acts up if she doesn't eat.
06:22Lily, I'm dropping Leo off at school first. I'll take you to the cemetery to see Mom when I get
06:26back.
06:27Remember to let the toast cool down before you eat it. Don't burn yourself.
06:32Ma'am, why are you eating cold food? Mr. Reed will be heartbroken if he sees this.
06:39He won't feel heartache anymore.
06:45Maybe Mr. Reed is just too busy. Should I drive you to the office?
06:58We're not waiting for Oliver. Take me to see my mom.
07:05The attached photo showed Oliver and Tiffany both kissing Leo's cheeks.
07:09Only then did I realize Leo had a sports day today.
07:12The happy picture of their family of three made me look like a dark, unwanted intruder.
07:17I put the signed divorce agreement into my bag.
07:20We're not waiting for Oliver. Take me to see my mom.
07:23Before Lily arrived, Tiffany had already entered the cemetery with workers.
07:30But unexpectedly, right as I entered the private cemetery,
07:33my mother's tombstone was smashed, crashing down at my feet.
07:37And standing right in front of the grave was Tiffany.
07:40My brain froze for a second. I rushed forward.
07:44What are you doing?
07:47Lily, I'm digging up your mother's grave.
07:50This is my mother's resting place. This land belongs to Oliver. How dare you?
07:55Still playing Mrs. Reed, huh? Oliver's private property?
07:59I do whatever I want.
08:01What are you staring at?
08:02Dig.
08:03At her command, the workers were about to start the bulldozer.
08:07Driven by pure desperation, and I scrambled into the cab of the excavator.
08:13Grabbed the steering wheel and jerked it hard.
08:18The massive metal bucket swung violently, heading straight for her head.
08:26Throw her under the bulldozer. Crush her into the dirt.
08:30Several bodyguards instantly lunged to drag me away.
08:33But just as they reached out, a Maybach drove into the cemetery.
08:37Oliver stepped out in a few strides,
08:40took down the guards,
08:43and pulled me tightly into his arms.
08:46Tiffany, how many times have I warned you?
08:49Don't touch Lily.
08:51He checked me over frantically.
08:53Seeing the bruises on my stomach, pure heartbreak spilled across his face.
08:57Lily, I'm sorry.
08:59I'm late.
09:02I've told you so many times.
09:04We're divorced. Stop pestering me.
09:06Otherwise,
09:08I swear I'll erase the Vance family by morning.
09:11Instead of being angry at the threat,
09:12Tiffany just raised her eyebrows with a smirk.
09:15That's when I saw it.
09:16Both she and Oliver were wearing the matching bracelets from Leo's school.
09:20What exactly are you trying to do?
09:22Lily,
09:22I sold this land to the Vance family.
09:25They're turning it into an amusement park.
09:28All the caskets have been moved.
09:30Don't worry.
09:31Your mom is fine.
09:32I've moved her to a better place and had a new tombstone made.
09:35I've just been too busy lately and forgot to tell you.
09:39The workers dug open the grave.
09:41Sure enough, it was completely empty inside.
09:44He was just talking about accompanying me to see my mom this morning,
09:47yet he forgot to tell me that her grave had been moved.
09:49Clutching my bruised stomach, I swatted away his outstretched hand.
09:53Take me to her.
09:54After that, I'll give you the papers we talked about last night.
09:59Oliver walked me to the car, but Tiffany got in first.
10:03Oliver, we still have some business matters to discuss.
10:06As she walked past Oliver, her fingers gently brushed against his arm.
10:13Lily, wait here for a moment.
10:15I need to talk to Tiffany first.
10:16The two of them climbed into the car, one after another.
10:20Rustling sounds immediately came from inside the car.
10:24Oliver trusted the Maybox soundproofing too much.
10:27But he forgot.
10:29I also had access to disable it.
10:32Like a masochist, I opened the app.
10:35Turned the soundproofing all the way down.
10:37A muffled groan instantly leaked from the car.
10:42Tiffany, we're in the car!
10:44Lily's still outside!
10:46Tiffany's voice was breathy, heavy with lust.
10:47Isn't it more thrilling?
10:49Every time her PTSD flared up and she passed out, we'd do this right by her bed.
10:55You always last at least three hours.
10:58And she just thinks she's having another nightmare.
11:00Every time my PTSD flared up, I'd have sickening nightmares.
11:03When I woke up, Oliver would always be by my side, claiming he hadn't left me for a single second.
11:09I still remember on the way back from Mexico, Oliver was covered in scars, crying the entire way.
11:14He promised me in a hoarse voice.
11:17From now on, I'll never leave your side again.
11:22He wasn't lying.
11:23He really never left my side.
11:24But there he was, right beside my bed, screwing Tiffany next to my unconscious body.
11:30A wave of nausea surged from my throat.
11:33Leaning against the back of the car, I couldn't stop retching.
11:37Suddenly, the movements inside the car stop.
11:42Ugh, her bag is poking me.
11:46Just move it aside.
11:48Wait.
11:50What's this document in her bag?
11:54The next second, the car window rolled down.
11:56Tiffany threw my handbag straight out.
11:59God, this thing was taking up space.
12:02What important documents could a housewife possibly have?
12:05That's true.
12:06The sounds of their entanglement continued from the car.
12:09Every single noise pierced me, draining the color from my face with each one.
12:16I picked up the divorce agreement with trembling hands.
12:19It was already soaked in muddy water.
12:24I walked over to my mother's broken tombstone, finally making up my mind.
12:30I waited from dusk until the sky turned pitch black.
12:33Finally, Oliver pushed the car door open, acting as if nothing had happened.
12:38He smiled and gestured for me to get in.
12:40I glanced at Tiffany on the seat.
12:47No thanks.
12:48It's filthy.
12:50I got into the assistant's car instead.
12:56He frowned, followed me into the assistant's car, pulled out a wet wipe, and wiped the dirt off my face
13:00for me.
13:03The tenderness in his eyes was enough to ruin any woman.
13:06It's just a little dirt.
13:07My lily is always the prettiest.
13:10I looked into his eyes, wanting to pretend nothing had happened either.
13:14But my tears fell uncontrollably.
13:23Oliver, you forgot to sign the document.
13:26Oliver hated it most when I cried.
13:28Whenever I cried, panic flashed across his face, without even glancing at the contents of the wet paper.
13:34However, he signed it and pulled me into his arms.
13:39I'll sign everything for you, Lily.
13:41Even if you asked for the entire Reed group.
13:44The new cemetery was indeed much better kept, neat and well maintained.
13:48Oliver solemnly said to my mother,
13:51I'll take good care of Lily and make her happy forever.
13:54When the Reeds opposed us, he stayed devoted.
13:56Lily is the only woman I will ever marry.
13:58He didn't break that promise.
14:00I did become his wife.
14:02A phone call came.
14:04Oliver answered it and left in a hurry.
14:06Lily, I'm taking you to our family gathering first.
14:09Can you head back by yourself later?
14:10But I clearly heard Tiffany's voice on the phone.
14:13Tiffany had attended every single Reed family gathering, even after the divorce.
14:17As far as the Reeds were concerned, she was the only wife Oliver ever had in their eyes.
14:22No matter how cruel or painful reality was, I had to face it alone.
14:26I returned to our downtown penthouse.
14:29Even the maids had gone to help at the Reed estate.
14:31I scanned the divorce agreement and emailed it to my lawyer.
14:34Then I opened the closet to pack my bags.
14:39Suddenly, Tiffany's voice came from the bedroom door.
14:46Oliver carried Tiffany onto the bed, listening to the intimate sounds outside the closet.
14:51My stomach churned with nausea.
15:02The next second, their conversation made my mind go completely blank.
15:07Oliver, about letting your wife film that porno for me.
15:11Have you thought about it?
15:14What were you thinking, signing some deal with that director?
15:18If your investment flopped, you'd film a porn?
15:21And now look, you actually lost.
15:23What am I going to do with you?
15:25Tiffany whined, putting on a sickeningly sweet voice.
15:28I don't care.
15:29How could I possibly let him film me like that?
15:32Besides, I'm Leo's mother after all.
15:34You wouldn't want Leo to be humiliated, would you?
15:38Oliver's voice darkened.
15:40We can find a stand-in, but does it have to be Lily?
15:43The director was specific.
15:44He wants Oliver Reed's wife.
15:46Either me or Lily.
15:48Oliver, say yes.
15:50And I'll let you do whatever you want in bed.
15:52Any position.
15:53Besides, wasn't it you who said it yourself?
15:56Lily's already been used by everyone.
15:58What's one more time going to matter?
15:59The sounds of their bodies intertwining came from the bed.
16:03Curled up in the dark, I couldn't even gag anymore.
16:12Then I need to think this through.
16:13I can't just tell her outright.
16:15She'd never forgive me.
16:16That's easy.
16:17Just drug her and toss her over there.
16:20Then I received a text message.
16:23Dragging my stiff body, I slowly crept out of the closet.
16:27That evening, Oliver enthusiastically invited me to a dinner party with his friends.
16:31When I sat down, Tiffany was already at the table.
16:33For the first time, she spoke to me peacefully and even offered to pour my wine.
16:36Meanwhile, the director sat in the corner, his predatory gaze never leaving me.
16:40I made an excuse to go to the restroom.
16:43Peering through the crack in the door, I saw Tiffany smiling as she dropped a pill into my glass.
16:49Oliver's expression was dark, but he didn't do anything.
16:52Suppressing my nausea, I returned to the table.
16:54When everyone was distracted, I quietly swapped my glass with Tiffany's.
16:59Tiffany drank the wine without any suspicion, her eyes still gloating as she looked at me.
17:04I'm a little dizzy.
17:05Minutes later, I pretended the drug was taking effect.
17:07It's fine. Tiffany can take me.
17:10You should stay with your friends.
17:12Tiffany didn't suspect a thing.
17:14Wearing a fake smile, she wrapped her arm around me and walked me to the room.
17:18Just as she couldn't hold back from mocking me, she found her own head getting dizzier and dizzier.
17:22Finally, she collapsed straight onto the bed.
17:25I quickly changed my clothes and went into the room next door.
17:31Ooh, Oliver.
17:33Passing your own wife around, now that's what I call a real sport.
17:37What wife?
17:38She's just a broken toy.
17:40With one last glance back, I saw Oliver's deep, dark eyes.
17:44He watched the director with a camera and a group of actors, then pushed open the door.
17:49Oliver scoffed lightly, yet his eyes were terrifyingly dark.
17:53Without a single regret, yet his eyes were terrifyingly dark.
17:57Oliver, Tiffany, you planted the seeds of hell.
18:01Now, burn in it.
18:03Without a single regret, I swallowed the death-fainting drug.
18:08Oliver, I was set up!
18:10That bitch Lily did this!
18:15Lily, that dirty bitch!
18:17I'm going to kill her!
18:20Oliver, did you tell her my plan?
18:23Of course not.
18:24But, Lily has always been smart.
18:27Maybe she sensed something wrong and ran away.
18:30If I had figured something out, wouldn't I know he was the one behind it?
18:33Right then, an unknown number started ringing.
18:36Oliver hung up impatiently.
18:37Tiffany was still in his arms, hysterically demanding that he take revenge.
18:41Her shrieks grated on Oliver, and he shoved her away.
18:44You lost the bet, and you made the plan.
18:47Now that it blew up in your face, you expect me to clean up your mess?
18:50Can you use your brain for once?
18:52The sheer coldness in his words made Tiffany recoil.
18:55Then, the unknown number called again.
18:58Dad, Lily is dead!
19:02Leo, don't talk nonsense.
19:05She really is.
19:06He didn't come home all night.
19:08I broke out in an allergic rash.
19:10I called and texted her, but she didn't answer.
19:13She must be dead.
19:14Otherwise, she would have texted back immediately.
19:22Mr. Reed, do you know a woman named Lily Moore?
19:26She's my wife.
19:27What happened to her?
19:28Mr. Reed, we are sorry to inform you that your wife, Lily, suffered a sudden heart attack
19:32at 5.30 a.m.
19:33We did everything we could to resuscitate her, but she didn't make it.
19:37What kind of sick scam is this?
19:45Where is Lily?
19:46The hospital.
19:47In the morgue.
19:51The hospital called you many times.
19:54You kept declying the calls.
19:57Oliver, are these the doctors you called for me?
20:03It was you, wasn't it?
20:05Where did you hide her?
20:07What, that bitch Lily is finally dead?
20:12It wasn't me!
20:13You know exactly where I was last night?
20:16Was it your parents?
20:17Oliver, who in this world wants Lily gone more than anyone?
20:21Isn't it your parents?
20:26When he kicked the doors open, his parents just looked genuinely confused.
20:31Oliver, are you out of your mind?
20:33We would never hurt Lily.
20:35Ever since you brought her back, we've never opposed you two again.
20:41Dad!
20:42Lissy's really dead, right?
20:43We can be a real family again!
20:48If you loved Lily so much, why didn't you come after us when you found her?
20:51You made her raise another woman's son.
20:53You married her on paper, but everyone out there knows you and Tiffany never truly ended.
20:57Oliver, your love is pathetic.
20:59A worthless joke.
21:00Every single word slammed into Oliver like a sledgehammer.
21:03He stumbled into the hospital morgue.
21:05As soon as he burst through the doors, he heard a morgue attendant say,
21:09Lily Moore died of a heart attack.
21:13Per her written wishes, there will be no autopsy.
21:15The body has been cleared for cremation.
21:21The next second, the red light above the cremation chamber flashed.
21:26A gurney, draped in a white sheet, was pushed toward the blazing furnace.
21:31He lunged for the sheet, but he was one second too late.
21:46Oliver didn't wake up until three days later.
21:49He was entirely hollowed out, stripped of all emotion.
21:52A man completely destroyed from the inside.
21:56Oliver's hands shook so violently he couldn't even grasp the paper.
22:00He locked himself inside the hotel room where I spent my final night refusing to sleep.
22:05Clutching my urn against his chest, he whispered his apologies over and over.
22:10Dad! Please!
22:12Open the door! You're scaring me!
22:18Oliver!
22:19What do you think you're doing?
22:20You haven't closed your eyes for three days and nights.
22:24Get out.
22:25Don't disturb Lily's rest.
22:28Have you lost your sanity?
22:31Your debt to Lily will haunt you into the next life!
22:33Leo has done nothing wrong!
22:35How can you turn your back on your own child?
22:39Oliver buried my ashes next to my mother's grave.
22:42He kept a small portion of the ashes, having them made into a custom pendant,
22:46wearing it tightly against his heart every single day.
22:50Oliver, since it's already happened, you have to move forward.
22:55Your mother and I have decided that you should get back together with Tiffany.
23:00Oliver, whatever you owe Lily in this life, you can repay in the next, but Leo is innocent.
23:07Suit yourselves.
23:09Oliver!
23:10Heard you're officially remarrying Tiffany?
23:12Gotta say, you've got a real talent for taking back trash.
23:14Say one more disrespectful word about Lily and I'll throw you off this 28th floor balcony.
23:18Wow.
23:18So Tiffany really lost.
23:20You hadn't made that sick, dirty bet with Tiffany.
23:21My Lily would never have killed.
23:22It was actually kind of romantic.
23:25I told Tiffany you loved Lily way more than her and she should just give up and come to my
23:29bed.
23:29She wouldn't accept that, so she made a bet with me.
23:32She asked me to demand that your wife do a porn shoot for me, like I'd ever dare to do
23:36that.
23:37But she swore it would be fine, so I just played along with her little script.
23:40Oliver's face darkened with fury.
23:43So, you didn't threaten Tiffany?
23:45The director laughed.
23:46Oliver, I don't have a death wish.
23:48Tiffany was the one who came to my room that night.
23:51I really thought you loved Lily more than Tiffany.
23:54A chill ran down Oliver's spine.
23:56He called his assistant.
23:58I need you to look into something.
23:59When Tiffany said she was harassed at Lily's mother's grave that day, was that actually true?
24:05Mr. Reed, the only person Tiffany fought with at the cemetery that day, was Mrs. Reed.
24:13Oliver couldn't say another word.
24:15He subconsciously touched the urn pendant against his chest, feeling an agonizing ache in his heart.
24:20Only now did he realize how many people had tried to destroy me.
24:24His parents, Tiffany, Leo, and worst of all, himself.
24:27Every single one of them was a demon who pushed me into the abyss.
24:32Oliver pulled up to City Hall.
24:33Tiffany took out her paperwork and rushed over excitedly.
24:37Oliver, just give me your papers.
24:38I'll go get us registered.
24:40Oliver pulled something from his jacket.
24:42He dropped it into her palm.
24:43When Tiffany saw what it was, her face drained of color.
24:46Oliver?
24:48What's this?
24:49It's a pendant.
24:50Made from Lily's ashes.
24:52His voice, terrifyingly soft.
24:55Haven't you seen me wearing it every day?
24:57Before Tiffany could even react, a harsh slap struck across her face.
25:01Her mind went completely blank from the impact.
25:03You hit me?
25:04Oliver just stared at her coldly.
25:07Do you remember how you beat Lily?
25:09The bodyguard dragged her into the car, followed by Oliver's ruthless command.
25:14To the cemetery.
25:15Beneath the sprawling elm tree, the headstone stood cold and silent.
25:19Oliver stared at my black and white portrait.
25:22An endless agony twisted his heart until he couldn't breathe.
25:25He took all of that pain and weaponized it into pure rage, aiming it straight at Tiffany.
25:29Neil.
25:29Tiffany let out a miserable laugh.
25:32Fine.
25:33I lost the game.
25:35But kneel to a homewrecker?
25:37I'd rather die.
25:39Those words completely set Oliver off.
25:42Tiffany!
25:43How dare you say that in front of Lily's grave?
25:48If you hadn't drugged me and gotten pregnant with Leo, what made you think I would ever marry you?
25:54But Tiffany just laughed.
25:55Oliver, if we're talking about who hurt Lily most, do I even rank first?
26:01Every ounce of pain in Lily's life came from you!
26:06You couldn't accept Lily's past, yet you refused to let her go.
26:11You wanted a perfect wife, so you kept stringing me along.
26:15But didn't you ever realize how much all of this was destroying her?
26:20If anyone is the real murderer here, it's you!
26:24You're the one who should be begging for forgiveness!
26:27Tiffany's words slammed into Oliver, one after another.
26:31It forced him to face the undeniable truth.
26:33It was his inaction and his hypocrisy that destroyed me.
26:36Oliver dropped to his knees in front of my grave.
26:39Trembling, he pressed his forehead against the freezing marble headstone.
26:43Then, driven by utter despair, he slammed his head forward.
26:48Then, a second time, a third, countless times.
26:53Tiffany watched in frozen horror as Oliver smashed his head against the stone,
26:58blood pouring down his face.
27:00She stared blankly for a long time, before letting out a tragic laugh.
27:06Oliver, you've finally gone insane.
27:09Soon, the news spread through the entire city.
27:11Oliver Reed, the New York billionaire,
27:13had knelt in front of his late wife's grave for three days and three nights
27:18in a torrential downpour.
27:20He was rushed to the hospital with severe blood loss and a massive infection.
27:24He slipped into a coma and never woke up.
27:27Everyone said Oliver was the most devoted man in the world.
27:30Even his precious son, sobbing by his bedside every day,
27:34couldn't ever wake him up.
27:36Three years later,
27:37Leo was talking to Oliver by his hospital bed as usual.
27:40Dad, I sneaked out to visit Mom today.
27:42You're not mad, right?
27:46Also, I went to an art seminar in France a few days ago.
27:49The teacher there, she looked exactly like Lily.
27:52Maybe Lily isn't dead?
27:54What if she was just so heartbroken so she faked her death to...
28:01Where... where did you see her?
28:03Her name's Lillian in the French study program.
28:06She looks about 80% like Lily, but she's far more confident.
28:09Word has it she comes from an extremely wealthy family.
28:13On the glamorous streets of Paris,
28:15a luxury vehicle comes to a stop in front of a famous contemporary art gallery.
28:23After stepping into the gallery,
28:25his attention was drawn to a poster.
28:34Lily, I finally found you at last.
28:37At the first light of dawn, he walked into the gallery,
28:40clutching a massive bouquet of my favorite roses.
28:43Every painting carried that familiar style he knew was mine,
28:46yet they were also strikingly different.
28:49The oil painting on the poster,
28:51two lovers holding hands under a crescent moon,
28:53was my work.
28:54It was a piece I had started before we were forced apart.
28:57Oliver stood in front of each canvas,
28:59tears silently streaming down his face.
29:01He was absolutely certain now.
29:03This artist, Lillian,
29:05was his beloved wife.
29:06But he waited in that gallery for three days straight,
29:09and I never showed up.
29:12Lillian is definitely a captivating artist,
29:14but I've never seen a superfan quite like you before.
29:18Do you know when she'll be here?
29:20Well, word is she's pretty busy right now.
29:23She's prepping for her wedding down at the Seaside Chapel.
29:32Lillian's extraordinary.
29:33Her work is brilliant,
29:34and she built all of it herself.
29:36I know, right?
29:36Didn't Arthur Anderson once swear
29:38he'd rather donate his entire fortune
29:39than ever get married?
29:41But when he met Lillian,
29:42he fell head over wheels for her.
29:43My Lily,
29:44the wife I've searched for three whole years.
29:46How dare you smile at another man?
29:48You belong only to me.
29:50No one can lay a finger on you.
29:52This is a private exclusive venue.
29:54Please show your wedding invitation,
29:55or you are not allowed to approach.
29:57Get out of my way!
29:58I'm here for my wife!
29:59All of you, back off!
30:10Lily!
30:10It's me!
30:11Oliver!
30:12I finally found you!
30:33Lily, turn around and look at me!
30:38Please, just take a glance at me!
30:46Lily, my Lily!
30:48You're truly still alive!
30:52Lily.
30:55Lily.
30:55Excuse me, sir.
30:57Who are you?
30:58Lily, it's me!
30:59I'm Oliver!
31:01Who is this?
31:02Some obsessed fan?
31:03I'm sorry, sir.
31:04If you're my fan,
31:05you are welcome to stay for the ceremony.
31:07But if you're going to be this emotional,
31:08I suggest you step outside
31:09and cool off first.
31:10Lily!
31:11It's me!
31:12Oliver, your husband!
31:13How could she be your wife?
31:14Look!
31:15She's my wife!
31:16So you're the man who killed Lily and sister?
31:21You're the one who killed Lily?
31:25Impossible.
31:26Lily didn't have any family.
31:28Oliver, Lily is dead.
31:30I'm her cousin.
31:31We looked alike growing up.
31:33And stop using that wedding photo
31:34to play the devoted husband.
31:36Before Lily died,
31:37she was already done with you.
31:42Oliver,
31:44Lily gave up on you
31:45long before she died.
31:47If you truly understand
31:48how deeply you hurt her,
31:51then leave her family in peace.
31:53As the wedding march began to play,
31:55Arthur leaned in
31:56and whispered in my ear,
32:00Why didn't you just tell him
32:01that you're Lily?
32:04Letting him know
32:05I'm still alive
32:05but just won't forgive him.
32:07Or letting him believe
32:08he actually killed me.
32:10Between the two,
32:11I choose the latter.
32:12A life lost
32:13carries far more weight
32:14than a living person's resentment.
32:16I want him to spend
32:16the rest of his miserable days
32:18choking on the guilt
32:19of having killed me.
32:20Arthur and I shared a kiss
32:22amidst the flowers
32:22and applause.
32:26Outside the chapel gates,
32:28a broken man
32:28passed out in the dirt,
32:30tears still leaking
32:31from his closed eyes.
32:32He was rushed to the hospital.
32:34The doctor said
32:35he had completely
32:36lost his will to live.
32:37Leo rubbed the allergic rash
32:38flaring up on his arm,
32:40standing by Oliver's bed.
32:43Suddenly,
32:43he missed me so much.
32:45But he knew
32:46I was never coming back.
