Short filmTranscript
00:00My boyfriend faked amnesia and vowed he'd only marry me after me filming a hundred private sex videos.
00:06He also let his ex bully me and left me freezing unconscious in snow just to please her.
00:11He thought I would grovel to his love forever.
00:13What he never knew was, I was already pregnant and I decided to jump off a cliff on our engagement
00:18day.
00:19He destroyed me. I would make him pay.
00:21Three days ago, that is a day marks the 96th video.
00:25Lily, only four more times to go. Once we hit 100, I swear I'll marry you.
00:31Ethan, I love you.
00:34Afterward, Ethan said he had something urgent to deal with and headed to his study.
00:38I made him coffee and brought it over.
00:40Just as I reached the study door, I heard Ethan's voice.
00:43Serena, what did you think of the video this time?
00:46Ethan, you did great, but you were so gentle this time.
00:50Don't tell me you're actually falling for Lily.
00:54Hell no. Once I get all 100 sex tapes, I'm done with her.
00:58If it wasn't to help you get back at her in college, I never would have faked amnesia to hit
01:03on her.
01:04I felt a dull ache in my lower belly back in college.
01:06I was known as the nerd, while Serena was the most popular cheer captain.
01:10Ethan was her boyfriend.
01:12What's your name?
01:12Huh?
01:13Oh, Lily.
01:17Ladder.
01:18Ethan got into a car accident and suddenly lost his memory.
01:22He broke up with her and started pursuing me instead.
01:26That was when Serena started bullying me.
01:30She tore all my books to shreds and even put snakes and rats in my desk.
01:36She and her friends trapped me in the bathroom, forced me to my knees, and slapped me.
01:43Lily, you stole Ethan from me while he had amnesia?
01:46You're such a bitch!
01:47I didn't! Ethan was the one who came after me!
01:51I told Ethan what happened, but he only said,
01:53I owe her that. For my sake, can you just put up with it?
01:57And just like that.
01:58I endured it for three years, standing outside the study.
02:01I covered my mouth crying in total disbelief.
02:04Ethan never lost his memory.
02:06From day one, this was just a sick prank he and Serena cooked up together.
02:14I walked back to the bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed.
02:17The smoke detector on the ceiling, right above the bed, blinked red.
02:21I never would have guessed it was actually a hidden camera,
02:24so that was how Ethan had recorded every single video.
02:27Ethan pushed the bedroom door open and walked in.
02:30He walked over and leaned down to kiss my forehead.
02:34Still awake?
02:35I'm waiting for you.
02:37He got into bed and wrapped his arms around my waist from behind.
02:41After he fell asleep, I got out of bed and picked up his phone.
02:45His iMessage history had every plan they'd made over the past three years.
02:49With trembling fingers, I kept scrolling up.
02:52Then, I found a set of photos.
02:54In the photos, Serena was wearing an emerald necklace.
02:57It was the only thing my mother had left me, Ethan said.
03:01You look gorgeous.
03:03I bet that idiot Lily is still out in the blizzard looking for the necklace.
03:07She'll never know that I gave it to you.
03:09When I lost the necklace a year ago, Ethan told me he saw it in the snow, out in the
03:13suburbs,
03:14and I believed him.
03:20I searched the snow for eight straight hours in minus 20 degree weather until I went into shock and collapsed.
03:28It turned out it was just another cruel trick, Ethan, and Serena had played on me.
03:32Ethan, remember to take that fake pregnancy report home.
03:37Oh, and feed her something that makes her nauseous, so she actually thinks she's pregnant.
03:42That way, she'll never leave you.
03:44Also, let's throw an engagement party.
03:47Trick Lilla that you're playing a cute couple's video and livestream it so everyone can witness this happy moment.
03:53Then, blast those first 96.6 tapes on the big screen.
03:57When that happens, everyone will see those videos of her.
04:00How do you think she'll react?
04:02Oh my god, I seriously can't wait to see the look on her face.
04:06I put the phone back, then walked into the bathroom.
04:09I stumbled and almost fell.
04:10I looked at myself in the mirror.
04:12Ethan's shirt hung loose on me.
04:14The collar open.
04:15I was even carrying his child.
04:17How ridiculous.
04:18How ironic.
04:19I was completely done with him.
04:21I couldn't imagine I'd wasted three years of my life on him.
04:24I opened my phone and bought a plane ticket for two days later.
04:31The next morning, Ethan left for work.
04:34I made coffee, turned on my computer, and edited my design drafts like any other day,
04:39acting completely normal.
04:40Anse was sure he wouldn't come back.
04:43I started packing my bags.
04:44I was ready to leave this ridiculous life behind for good.
04:47While, tidying up the living room, I saw Ethan's notebook on the coffee table.
04:52He always left it there.
04:53But I'd never looked inside because I used to trust him completely.
04:56But now, resentment pushed me to pick it up.
04:58It took three tries to get her to take her medicine.
05:01After her fever went down, she held onto my hand and wouldn't let me go.
05:06She kept saying,
05:07Don't leave me.
05:09Don't leave me.
05:11Can I really keep playing this prank on her?
05:13I flipped straight to the last page.
05:15Tucked inside was a ticket stub from last Valentine's Day.
05:18Back then, Ethan said he was taking me to Boston for an exhibition.
05:22Later, he said there was a problem with the tickets,
05:24so we spent the night at an airport hotel.
05:27Beside it, he had written,
05:28Even though it was just an airport hotel, she looked so happy.
05:32Maybe I shouldn't have lied about losing the tickets, but I promised Serena.
05:36Damn.
05:40I closed the notebook.
05:41In that moment, I knew he had loved me once, but he still chose to keep listening to Serena.
05:46At eight that night, Ethan came home.
05:50Sweetheart?
05:51Yeah?
05:51I have some good news for you.
05:56We're having a baby.
05:58I picked up your checkup results from last week.
06:00The doctor said you're already one month pregnant.
06:02That's great.
06:06Marry me, Lily.
06:07I want to give you and the baby a happy home.
06:15I'm putting together a video of our relationship over the years.
06:18I'll book a high-definition screen at Venue and livestream it, too.
06:21I want everyone to witness your happiness.
06:24Sure.
06:25I tilted my head up and let him kiss me like always.
06:28Before I left, I had to make sure they didn't notice anything was wrong.
06:31Thirty.
06:32Six more hours.
06:33And I'd be far away from all of this.
06:38Ethan chose a church on the edge of a cliff for our engagement party.
06:42It was exactly what I wanted.
06:43It was the perfect chance to leave.
06:45On the day of the engagement, Serena arrived early.
06:48She was dressed so extravagantly that she looked more like the center of attention than I did,
06:53holding a glass of champagne.
06:55She walked up to me with a fake smile.
06:58Lily, I want to apologize for everything I did before.
07:01I wish you and Ethan happiness.
07:06She's pregnant.
07:07She can't drink.
07:13The engagement party is about to start.
07:15Lily, let's go.
07:19I heard.
07:28Ethan poured his heart into making a video of your love story, and even got the media to stream it.
07:34I'm so jealous.
07:36I honestly can't wait to see it.
07:38What's wrong, Ethan?
07:40Isn't Serena your best friend?
07:42Hurry, Lily.
07:43We're going to miss our queue.
07:44Are you wearing your ring?
07:44Ethan looked at me and forced a smile.
07:46I raised my hand, gave him a happy smile, and stepped onto the engagement stage.
07:51Eight cameras were pointed at us, live streaming the whole event.
07:54The priest officiated the engagement ceremony.
07:57As if we really were a happy couple.
07:59If I hadn't already known this was all a huge conspiracy, I might have been moved to tears.
08:04The priest announced.
08:06Next, we'll play a video of Ethan and Lily's love story.
08:10Let's all witness this happy moment together.
08:15Serena stepped forward, snatched the remote from the priest.
08:18After a brief black screen, suggestive moans came through the speakers first.
08:22I slipped my hand out of Ethan's grip and silently mouthed the words to him.
08:28Lily, no!
08:39I didn't die.
08:40I fell into the ocean below the cliff.
08:43The moment I hit the water, the freezing sea felt like 10,000 needles piercing my skin
08:48all at once.
08:49My right leg slammed into a rock.
08:51A yacht happened to pass by and pulled me out of the water.
08:59Sharp pain twisted through my stomach, and I could feel the life inside me slipping away.
09:05Blood!
09:06There's blood underneath her!
09:07I placed my hand on my stomach, then completely blacked out.
09:11Call 911!
09:12Meanwhile, up on the cliff, they all watched me jump.
09:16Hundreds of thousands of people flooded into the live stream in an instant.
09:20Ethan lay at the edge of the cliff, clawing at the stone until his nails were torn back.
09:24His two close friends held him down to stop him from jumping after me.
09:28Lily!
09:29Lily!
09:30Lily!
09:30Hannah stood beside the engagement stage, so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.
09:34After the search and rescue team arrived, they searched the sea for two hours.
09:38All they found were pieces of my coat and the ring.
09:42The moment Ethan snatched the ring from the rescue worker, he saw the engraving inside the
09:46band.
09:47It said, I hate you.
09:48Then he started crying.
09:50He cried until he started hyperventilating and had to be taken away in an ambulance.
09:54The final frame of the live stream footage showed his hand clutching the ring as he was lifted
09:58onto the stretcher.
10:00And no one could pry his fingers open.
10:06Private video played at engagement party.
10:08Bride-to-be jumps off cliff and dies at the scene.
10:11The whole incident completely blew up online.
10:13It shot straight to number one on the US trending chart.
10:16As for me, I went missing after falling into the water.
10:19After 72 hours of searching with no results, I was officially presumed dead.
10:24The internet was flooded with memorial posts.
10:27I'll never forget the sight of her jumping off that cliff in a white wedding dress.
10:31Why is that guy still alive?
10:33That Serena woman is pure evil.
10:35She played the video on purpose.
10:36She definitely knew what was in it.
10:37This whole thing looks like a setup.
10:39With my right leg in a temporary splint, I lay in a hospital bed in Paris, reading the
10:43news on my phone.
10:45The day I was rescued, the yacht docked, and they wanted to take me to the hospital.
10:49I insisted on going to the airport.
10:51I made it onto the plane five minutes before takeoff.
10:54After I landed, the doctor I had arranged for immediately took me to the hospital.
10:58When I woke up again, I already had a completely new identity.
11:02Serena stayed at the hospital with Ethan after he collapsed.
11:05Ethan remained unconscious for several days.
11:07By the time he woke up, I had already been declared dead.
11:09Lily is dead.
11:10Even though you didn't make it to 100 times, we can officially announce our engagement now.
11:19I saved all the videos.
11:21We don't need to play them anymore.
11:23But do you want to keep them as a souvenir?
11:27This is all your fault!
11:29It's all because of you!
11:30You should die with her!
11:37You're insane!
11:38She's dead?
11:40You're trying to choke me to death over a dead woman?
11:44You don't deserve to even say her name.
11:47The flash drive slipped from Serena's hand, and Ethan crushed it under his foot.
11:52His friends Marcus and Tyler rushed in and pulled him away.
11:56Bro, calm down!
11:57She's finally dead!
11:58You're free now!
11:59Yeah, we just missed her final public humiliation.
12:01What a shame!
12:07Son, come on!
12:10It was you.
12:12If it weren't for your cruel prank, she wouldn't be dead.
12:16You were the one who wanted to mess with her in the first place!
12:22You're the killer!
12:24Weren't you the one who lied and told her the necklace was out in the blizzard?
12:28In the end, it took five nurses and two security guards to finally hold him down.
12:32He was rushed into the emergency room.
12:34His body was covered in injuries.
12:36A week later, he was diagnosed with acute stress disorder and admitted to the psychiatric ward.
12:42He refused to eat or drink, staring again and again at the engraving on that ring.
12:47Later, he even snuck out of the hospital and went to the shore below the cliff to look for me.
12:52He dove into the water countless times, sometimes drifting out at sea for an entire day, but he never found
12:58a single trace of me.
12:59He still refused to believe I was dead.
13:01Sitting in my wheelchair, I watched what people were saying about Ethan.
13:05A faint smile tugged at my lips.
13:07Ethan, what you owe me is far more than this.
13:10I'll settle every debt, one by one.
13:15Two years later, in the 7th arrondissement of Paris inside a studio converted from an old warehouse.
13:21A month ago, my game Ashen Seas, which I had spent three years designing and two years developing, won gold
13:26at the International Game Awards.
13:28I was hailed as the most promising game designer of the 21st century.
13:32On the day of the awards ceremony, I wore a long dress to cover my scarred right leg.
13:37After two years of rehab, I could finally walk normally again.
13:41Within a week of the gold award being announced, the valuation of my game soared to tens of millions of
13:46dollars.
13:47Potential partners lined up to call me, practically begging to work together.
13:51No one knew I was the same Lily who jumped off that cliff two years ago.
13:55Every once in a while, I still saw news about Ethan.
13:58I heard he gave up his inheritance, moved to that coastline, rented a run-down little house, and sat by
14:03the sea every day.
14:05Sometimes he would go into the water and stay under for a long time.
14:08His neighbors called the police several times later.
14:11I heard he stopped searching.
14:13He started sitting on the beach by the sea, from dawn until dark.
14:16That ring was always clenched in his hand.
14:19I finished reading the news.
14:21Then I turned off my phone.
14:23Then I went back to adjusting the level design for the second phase of Ashen Seas.
14:27One morning, a month after news of the gold award came out, when I arrived at the studio,
14:32my assistant Alistair was facing off with someone at the entrance.
14:36The man was so thin, he was almost unrecognizable.
14:39The moment he saw me, his whole body froze.
14:41Lily.
14:48You're alive.
14:50I knew Ashen Seas had to be yours.
14:52Only you could make a game this brilliant.
14:56It took me six months to confirm it was really you.
15:02What are you doing here?
15:04I came to find you.
15:06You're alive.
15:07You're really alive.
15:12I'm giving it back.
15:13I stole it.
15:14I was out of my mind back then.
15:16I never should have listened to Serena.
15:21Now you've seen that I'm alive, so you can leave.
15:24Lily, please.
15:25Don't send me away.
15:26I know I was wrong.
15:28I really do.
15:31This is what you gave me?
15:36There's one more thing you don't know.
15:38Your child on the day of our engagement too.
15:40That day, you came to me with a fake pregnancy report to trick me.
15:45You had no idea I was actually pregnant.
15:59Stay away from my boss.
16:01Just kill me, Lily.
16:03Let me pay for what I did with my life.
16:06Ethan, death would be too easy for you.
16:11You can spend the rest of your life paying back what you owe me.
16:14As the door closed, I heard a sound from outside.
16:17Ethan was sobbing.
16:18The next day, the hospital called.
16:22A patient named Ethan cut his right calf with a knife and severed the tendon.
16:27He's refusing all treatment and only asking to see you.
16:29He said he wants the same injury as you, as a way to atone.
16:33I have nothing to do with that man.
16:35If he insists on refusing treatment, that's his choice.
16:40But miss, his wound is still bleeding.
16:44Then please do your job.
16:46The old Lily was gone.
16:47My heart would never soften for him again.
16:49I turned back to my game design.
16:51In a few days.
16:52The game I developed would enter a public financing auction.
16:55To push the share price as high as possible, I had to pick up the pace.
17:02In the early hours of the morning, the day before the auction, Serena posted seven times in a row on
17:07social media, attaching screenshots of Ashen C's code and design drafts.
17:12The timestamps showed they were from two years ago.
17:14She claimed she was the original designer of Ashen C's and that I had plagiarized her work.
17:19Two years.
17:20Serena had finally made her move.
17:22Ever since Ethan helped her steal my game code two years ago, I knew this day would come.
17:26I actually wanted to see just how far she would go.
17:29Tens of thousands of comments flooded in within seconds.
17:32A plagiarized gold award winner.
17:35Disqualify her.
17:36The auction price quickly crashed to Rockbox.
17:39Three partners also announced they were putting their collaborations with me on hold.
17:43Then Serena made another post.
17:45Want more dirt?
17:46I'll be releasing it soon.
17:49Boss, should we cancel the share auction?
17:52No.
17:53Pull up all the cloud backups, get records, source file MetaMeta, and commit times points.
18:04Lily, look, Ethan is live streaming.
18:07Ethan was sitting on a bed, his right calf wrapped in thick gauze, his face deathly pale.
18:12His phone was set up in front of him, and the number of viewers in the live stream was skyrocketing.
18:17He showed all of my original design drafts.
18:19The drafts I hadn't had time to take with me had all been kept by him.
18:23The dates were a full year earlier than what Serena had claimed.
18:31These files prove Lily is the original creator of Ashen Seas.
18:35What Serena holds is stolen from Lily, and I was her accomplice.
18:42And while I'm here, there's one more thing I want to say.
18:44Three years ago, I installed a hidden camera in the bedroom of my New York apartment.
18:49I took 96 private videos of Lily, and passed them to Serena.
18:53We had a bet, and the sole purpose was to completely ruin Lily.
18:56Serena still has backups.
18:58If she releases them, I will contact the police.
19:00I've already submitted my full confession to the New York District Attorney's office.
19:17That confession will support charges against her for a legal recording, distributing intimate images, and conspiracy to cause harm.
19:24I stake my reputation, my freedom, and the full credibility of the Ashford family on this.
19:30Those videos will never be leaked by me.
19:33He used himself to block Serena's final card.
19:36From now on, those videos could never hurt me again.
19:39At the end of the live stream, he looked into the camera.
19:41He stayed silent for a few seconds.
19:43Lily, I hope this makes up for even a little of what I did, though I know you'll never forgive
19:49me.
19:54Within an hour, Serena deleted all her posts and issued a public apology.
19:59Her family company's stock price crashed that day, and the company soon declared bankruptcy.
20:05On the official auction site, the price of my game's equity kept rising.
20:096 million.
20:108 million.
20:1210 million.
20:1312 million.
20:14It had surpassed its previous peak.
20:16The auction was held at the Grand Palais in Paris.
20:19Ethan and a buyer from Moscow were locked in the final round.
20:2515 million.
20:26Ethan's voice was firm, as if he was determined to win no matter what.
20:29The other buyer hesitated for a few seconds, then finally gave up.
20:33The game's equity was finally sold for 15 million dollars.
20:36Ethan's assistant wheeled him up to me, his right leg wrapped in gauze from that self-inflicted wound that still
20:41hadn't healed.
20:41I'm giving it back to you, it was always yours.
20:44A successful business deal.
20:45That's all this is, Ethan.
20:50What is your relationship with Ethan?
20:51We used to know each other.
20:53And now, we have nothing to do with each other now.
20:55After the press conference, we were in the parking lot.
20:58As Alistair and I headed to the car, I heard the click of crutches behind me.
21:02Ethan's assistant was supporting him as he slowly followed behind us.
21:05I didn't look back.
21:06Then, a violent engine roar came from behind me.
21:09It was the scream of a gas pedal slammed all the way down.
21:12Lily!
21:14Fire!
21:14I turned around and saw a black van.
21:18It was speeding straight toward me.
21:20Serena was behind the wheel.
21:26Serena's face was twisted with madness.
21:28Ethan shoved his assistant aside and threw away his crutches.
21:31He lunged toward me awkwardly.
21:33His right leg couldn't support him.
21:35So he staggered toward me at an angle.
21:37He shoved me hard by the shoulders.
21:39I was pushed several meters away.
21:41Then, then came a loud bang.
21:43Ethan was sent flying.
21:44The moment I realized what had happened.
21:46A pool of blood had already formed on the ground.
21:48He was lying on his back.
21:50His body twisted in a horrifying way.
21:52I ran over.
21:53Blood was running from the corner of his mouth.
21:56But his hand was still moving, searching along the ground.
21:59Then it touched the tip of my shoe.
22:01He turned his head and looked at me.
22:03You hate me.
22:04That's okay.
22:20Ethan's hand went limp.
22:22His eyes were still open, but his pupils had already gone unfocused.
22:30The emergency team declared Ethan had no vital signs at the scene.
22:34Multiple internal organs had ruptured.
22:36And at 26 years old, he was pronounced dead.
22:40Serena was arrested on the spot.
22:41In court, her lawyer tried to use an insanity defense.
22:45The prosecutor submitted Ethan's livestream confession,
22:48three years of chat logs, evidence of the camera installation,
22:52and storage records for the video backups.
22:54In the end, Serena was convicted of murder
22:57and sentenced to life in prison without parole.
23:00On the day of the sentencing,
23:02I was in my studio sketching concept art for my new game.
23:05I didn't go to court.
23:07Ethan's funeral was held in New York.
23:08I didn't go.
23:10That night, I walked to the scene and sat there alone for a long time.
23:14I spent a long time thinking about hatred.
23:16I was the one who engraved I hate you on that ring.
23:19And I really did hate him.
23:21I hated the three years of lies.
23:27Every single video he recorded.
23:29And how he left me searching for that necklace in a blizzard for eight hours.
23:33I hated that he let Serena beat me, humiliate me, and destroy everything I had.
23:38He drove me off that cliff.
23:40He cost me my baby.
23:41He ruined my leg so it would never be the same again.
23:45But he was dead.
23:46He died the moment he shielded me from that car.
23:48Hating a dead man is a strange, pointless thing.
23:51It won't bring him back.
23:52And it won't bring my baby back either.
23:54All it can do is keep me trapped on that cliff.
23:57But I am not there anymore.
23:58So I choose to let go.
24:00To drop this weight.
24:01Because if I keep holding on to it,
24:03I am the only one who suffers.
24:04To be continued...
24:07To be continued...
24:09You
