Short filmTranscript
00:00You bitch! I hate you! You ruined everything!
00:03If I'd chosen the Joneses, Asher would be mine!
00:06You stole my life!
00:09Go to hell, Ivy!
00:16Ivy Poppy, these two families are here to adopt you.
00:20One of you will go with the Lockards and one with the Joneses.
00:24I'll let you choose who goes where.
00:27In my last life, I got adopted by the Joneses.
00:37She got the mansion, the designer dresses, the name, but she never got love.
00:47Asher, you must be exhausted. I brought you a towel.
00:55Poppy wanted her fairytale ending.
00:58Marry the rich boy.
00:59Become Mrs. Lockwood.
01:03But Asher never loved her.
01:09Poppy tried everything, but she ended up with nothing but crippling debt.
01:13The Lockwoods disowned her.
01:15So when Asher and I finally got married, she snapped.
01:22You bitch! I hate you!
01:25You ruined everything!
01:27If I'd chosen the Joneses, Asher would be mine!
01:29You stole my life!
01:32Go to hell, Ivy!
01:39Because you think I got everything you ever wanted because you wanted to be me?
01:44You don't understand.
01:45My life wasn't some fairytale.
01:47It was just a different kind of prison.
01:49If I could do it again, I would have walked away from it all.
01:57Ivy Poppy, one of you goes with the Joneses.
02:01One goes with the Lockwoods.
02:03So, who do you choose?
02:05I was sent back in time to that day at the orphanage.
02:07To the day Poppy and I chose our parents.
02:11Mommy, Daddy, can I go home with you pretty please?
02:14I want to be Papa Jones.
02:16That's odd.
02:17Poppy's always wanted rich parents.
02:18Why isn't she choosing the Lockhounds?
02:21Ivy, I know you always wanted to be rich.
02:24So you can go with the Lockhouses.
02:25Hope you love your new family.
02:28She's choosing the Jones?
02:29But, why?
02:33Let's go.
02:36Remember how much Ashen loved saving little Sindrula?
02:39Well, it's my turn to play the poor girl.
02:42And you?
02:43You'll get to suffer, just like I did.
02:46She remembers.
02:48So, she got sent back in time too?
02:57Enough.
02:58A Lockwood does not behave like this disgraceful.
03:01Carter, the ruler.
03:05You're a Jones now, kid.
03:07Eat.
03:08Don't hold back.
03:09Look at that.
03:10She handles a knife better than we do.
03:12She's going places, Hank.
03:13I just know it.
03:15Of course I am.
03:19Ashler, stop!
03:21You're going to kill me!
03:22Please!
03:24I'm your sister!
03:25Kill you, please.
03:27I haven't even touched you.
03:28Besides, you're the one who weaseled your way into my family.
03:31Filthy gold debtor.
03:32Drink piss out of the toilet and I'll give you a hundred grand.
03:35I don't care about your stupid money!
03:37Still pretending?
03:39Fine.
03:44Hey!
03:45Who the fuck said you could be in here?
03:48Get out!
03:53Fucking nerds.
03:55Always ruining all the fun, whatever.
04:01You okay?
04:03Jade LeWerent.
04:04Top of the class.
04:05She's never even looked at me before.
04:08So why is she helping me now?
04:19What the fuck?
04:19Oh my god, I'm so sorry.
04:22I got your shoes all dirty.
04:27No, it's okay.
04:28It's no big deal.
04:30You look exhausted.
04:31You should sit down for a bit.
04:33I can't.
04:34I still have half the cafeteria left.
04:36If it's not spotless, they'll dock a hundred off my mom's paycheck.
04:39It's probably nothing to you, but for us, it's a whole week of expenses.
04:45You too.
04:46Help her.
04:47How do you get home after school?
04:49Oh, I walk.
04:51Takes me about an hour on a good day.
04:53An hour?
04:53That's ridiculous.
04:54I'll drive you from now on.
05:05Go ahead, Poppy.
05:06Be as smug as you want.
05:07You're walking into your own hell.
05:09Programming prodigics Jade Laurent.
05:10In my last life, she wrote AI code that revolutionized the world.
05:13But she didn't live long enough to see it.
05:15Jade.
05:16Heard her junkie dad showed up to school demanding money.
05:18Again.
05:19She beat her up and stole the money she made working part-time.
05:21Guess she couldn't take it anymore.
05:23Yeah, she had it pretty rough.
05:25Remember how her mom died because they couldn't afford the meds?
05:27Jode went through so much, but she never complained or asked for handouts.
05:30This time around, I'm not just saving myself.
05:32I'll save her too.
05:36My eyes are bigger than my stomach.
05:38Help me out?
05:39What's the catch?
05:40There isn't one.
05:41I just hate wasting food.
05:42But if you really don't want it, I guess I'll just have to toss it.
05:46Spoiled rich kids.
05:47By the way, I totally bombed the last trig test.
05:50Could you tutor me?
05:51Why me?
05:52Because you're the smartest person in school.
05:54If I want to get into a top school, shouldn't I learn from the best?
05:57How about a hundred bucks an hour?
06:00I charge everyone twenty-five an hour.
06:02No exceptions.
06:03Meet me at the library tomorrow at three.
06:05Nice.
06:05See you then.
06:09Eat up, dear.
06:10We can't thank you enough for looking after Poppy at school.
06:14No prob.
06:15Poppy, she's cool.
06:16Everyone loves her.
06:17And, um, thanks for having me.
06:19You're welcome anytime, son.
06:20We've always wished we could give Poppy more.
06:23But knowing she's got someone like you in her corner, well, it means a lot to us.
06:27Our family doesn't have much, so we've always hoped a reliable young man would come along
06:32and help Poppy.
06:33If only you could—oh, I'm rambling again, aren't I?
06:36Please, eat up!
06:40I made this.
06:41I know it's kind of dumb, but I thought you'd like it.
06:44It's late.
06:44You're more than welcome to stay the night if you'd like.
06:47I should get going, but thank you.
06:49Tonight was really nice.
06:59Why didn't you stop him?
07:00I gave you the perfect opportunity!
07:02I just got him to hold my hand.
07:06I can't move too fast.
07:07Holding hands?
07:09What is this, kindergarten?
07:10You should have thrown your yourself at him!
07:12We give you the chance of a lifetime, and you let it slip right—
07:16We adopted you to land a rich guy!
07:19I feed you, clothe you, put a roof over your head, but when it matters, you choke?
07:24You think you're some damn princess?
07:28Dad, just give me a little more time.
07:31Asher's almost on the hook, I swear.
07:34Where's Asher?
07:35He went out after school, sir.
07:37Calls have been going straight to voicemail.
07:39Dinner is family time!
07:40How dare he treat this house like a hotel!
07:42I'm home.
07:44Where the hell have you been?
07:46Do you have any idea what time it is?
07:48Sorry, Dad.
07:49I promise it won't happen again.
07:51I already ate.
07:53I'll head up first.
07:55Of course.
07:57He can't resist a damsel in distress.
07:59Give him a poor girl to save, and he folds every time.
08:03Go ahead.
08:03Asher, play right into her hands.
08:05As for me, I'm climbing out.
08:07Ivy, for the last time.
08:08Stop zoning out at the dinner table!
08:10Sorry, Dad.
08:12Um, by the way?
08:13Could I have some extra money for textbooks?
08:21Thought you could squeeze more money out of Dad?
08:24You disgusting gold dagger.
08:26Poppy's a thousand times better than you'll ever be.
08:29Great.
08:30Then go bother her.
08:31Stop wasting your time on me.
08:38Are you insane?
08:40Thumbtacks?
08:41What if she swallowed one of those?
08:43I thought we were teaching her a lesson?
08:45What?
08:45Feel sorry for her now?
08:47What?
08:47No!
08:48I'm just saying!
08:49There's levels to this shit!
08:53Uh, Ivy, how could you be so careless?
08:56Here.
08:57Have my lunch instead.
08:59Eat up.
09:03Let's see how long you can keep up the act.
09:09Is that all you're eating?
09:10Come on.
09:11I'll take you to the cafeteria.
09:12My treat.
09:13No, it's okay.
09:15I couldn't bother you.
09:16Let's go.
09:27Poppy?
09:28Poppy!
09:29Not here?
09:31Ivy, go find Poppy.
09:32Okay.
09:36Oh my god, your sister's spying on us.
09:41You spying on us now, you perv?
09:43Please.
09:44I have better things to do.
09:46Practice started ten minutes ago.
09:48Coach Knox told me to find you.
09:49Damn it.
09:50Just when Azure was finally paying attention.
09:52I won't let her ruin this for me.
09:57What's wrong?
09:59It's just...
10:00cramps.
10:01They're always rough.
10:04Poppy's not going to practice.
10:05I'm taking her home.
10:07I can't miss another practice.
10:10You don't need practice to be better than her.
10:13Come on, let's go.
10:21So, where's Poppy?
10:23She...
10:24I couldn't find her.
10:26All right, girls.
10:28State championships are coming up.
10:30If we win,
10:30you'll all have a shot at D1 schools.
10:50Relax, Poppy.
10:51You making the cut is a done deal.
10:53Yeah, chill out.
10:53Your coach loves you.
10:57What?
10:58What?
10:58Disqualified?
11:00You!
11:01You did this!
11:04Read it.
11:06Repeated unexcused absences from practice.
11:08GPA below requirement.
11:09Automatic disqualification.
11:11If you've got a problem, take it up with Coach Knox.
11:13Shit!
11:14If I'm off the squad, how am I supposed to get close to Asher?
11:17Film this.
11:21Ivy, why are you always coming after me?
11:24You laugh at me for being poor, for having cheap gear, and I can put up with all of that.
11:28But you can't abuse your power as captain to kick me off the squad.
11:31To ruin my dream.
11:33What the hell are you talking about?
11:35What do you want from me?
11:36Do you want me to beg in front of the entire school?
11:43She pushed me.
11:44She's bullying me.
11:46Back off!
11:55She pushed me.
11:56She's bullying me.
11:59This is insane.
12:00They're acting like you committed a felony.
12:02It's even on the news?
12:03Since when does high school drama count as journalism?
12:05This is bullshit.
12:09I've never seen you this fired up.
12:11You're usually so calm.
12:13How are you laughing right now?
12:14You have a disciplinary meeting tomorrow.
12:16They'll rip you apart.
12:20Poppy's really going all out to destroy me.
12:24But we'll make her eat her words.
12:26Right, Jade?
12:29We?
12:36Asher, the disciplinary meeting's about to start.
12:38Where's Poppy?
12:41I'm here.
12:42I'm here.
12:44Sorry.
12:44We're holding a disciplinary meeting in here for the sake of student privacy.
12:48Ask you to step outside.
12:49Principal Johnson, bullying is a serious accusation.
12:53Isn't the alleged bully's father a prominent businessman?
12:55And on the school board?
12:57The other board members and the public have a right to know.
13:01Transparency matters.
13:02Or were you trying to bury this?
13:05Everyone, quiet down, please.
13:07Lockhart High School has always enforced a zero-tolerance policy on bullying.
13:10The allegations against Cheer Captain Ivy Lockhart will be fully investigated.
13:14For transparency, the hearing will now proceed as an open inquiry.
13:19And we're live.
13:20Poppy, can you describe what happened yesterday?
13:22I'm sorry, Ivy.
13:24But I can't stay quiet anymore.
13:26Ivy hates me.
13:27She kicked me off the squad for no reason.
13:29Then attacked me.
13:31You're the one who grabbed me?
13:33And those injuries?
13:35I'll bet it was from that two-faced dad of yours.
13:38No, please.
13:39Don't get angry.
13:40Please don't hit me again.
13:42Ivy, stop spreading lies.
13:44Her father would never do that to her.
13:46I met him the other night.
13:47He's a sweet guy.
13:48Her family adores her.
13:50What the hell?
13:52Poppy, this is serious.
13:53You shouldn't have said anything.
13:55Ivy said I was stealing her spotlight.
13:57We're seeing what appears to be clear evidence of physical assault.
14:00It's worse than we imagined.
14:01I spelled her.
14:03You bitch.
14:05Poppy's life is hard enough.
14:08She works three jobs just to support her family.
14:11And you're picking on a poor girl like her?
14:14You make me sick.
14:16Let me say it again.
14:18I did not bully Poppy.
14:20Enjoy the sympathy while it lasts.
14:21Because the higher they lift you up, the harder they'll tear you apart when the truth comes out.
14:33Found it.
14:34Hold on, Ivy's.
14:35I'm coming.
14:35Principal Johnson, you have to expel her.
14:39Ivy, are you still denying it?
14:41Expel her!
14:42She's a bully!
14:45I told you, I never hit her!
14:47You're finished, Ivy.
14:49You're getting expelled, and I'll have Dad report you.
14:52Let's see how tough you are in juvie.
14:56Yes, I understand.
14:58We're taking care of it.
14:59Please calm down.
15:01What?
15:01Withdraw funding?
15:02Please!
15:03Ivy Lockwood!
15:04Our school is being torn apart because of you!
15:06Effective immediately, you're expelled for f-
15:14That's Vincent Lockheard!
15:15Is he here to set things straight?
15:16Ugh, rich kids get away with everything.
15:18Stupid neffy baby.
15:20Dad!
15:35A bully doesn't get to call me Dad!
15:37The Lockwoods stand for integrity.
15:40You are a disgrace.
15:42There it is.
15:43I knew he'd put his reputation first.
15:46Keep it up, Vincent.
15:47Show them exactly who the Lockwoods really are.
15:50No, Dad.
15:51Please listen to me.
15:53Poppy set me up.
15:54Silence!
15:55Still shifting the blame?
15:56The last thing our family needs is an orphan brat stirring up bad PR.
16:03Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for the damage my adopted daughter has done.
16:08I can't express how deeply ashamed and disappointed I am.
16:12The Lockwood family does not tolerate bullying.
16:15Anyone who crosses the line will face consequences.
16:17Even my adoptive daughter.
16:19Mr. Johnson, I'll trust the board to make the right decision.
16:22Wow, what a stand-up guy.
16:24Quick, get a close-up on Lockhart!
16:25He's tomorrow's front-page hero!
16:31You really thought Dad would save you?
16:34He just wanted everyone to know...
16:36You're not blood.
16:39Ivy's a total fraud!
16:41She's not even a real Lockhart!
16:42She's adopted?
16:44That's probably why she's so fucked up.
16:50Yes, I made a mistake.
16:52And that mistake was forgetting what you taught me, Dad.
16:54Never get close to poor people.
16:56They're all liars and cheaters.
16:58Nothing but trouble.
16:59Right, Dad?
17:02Watch your mouth!
17:03Our family has always sympathized with hard-working blue-collar folks.
17:06If you don't get that...
17:07Then you don't deserve to be a Lockhart!
17:10Ivy, you and Poppy came from the same orphanage.
17:13Just because you were lucky enough to be adopted by us doesn't mean you get to hold it over her
17:17head.
17:17Oh my God, they're from the same orphanage?
17:19One's an angel while the other's not.
17:22Yeah, we came from the same orphanage.
17:24But that's exactly why Poppy's doing this.
17:26She's jealous.
17:27Ivy, how could you say that about me?
17:30I was so happy for you when the Lockhutes adopted you.
17:33I wanted us to stay like sisters, support each other, but you made it impossible.
17:40Jesus, Ivy, look at what you've done to her!
17:41Face it.
17:42Everyone can back Poppy, but you?
17:44Anyone want to vouch for Ivy?
17:47Miss Lockwood, no one's speaking up.
17:49Do you have anything to say for yourself?
17:51Enough, Ivy!
17:53Starting now, I am officially disowning I...
17:55I'll vouch for Ivy.
18:10Taller than Ethan by an inch or two.
18:12Black overcoat.
18:13Dark suit underneath.
18:15Sharp features.
18:16A great build.
18:16Legs that went on forever.
18:18I squinted at him for a moment, then shook my head.
18:21No way.
18:21Year seven with Ethan Harlow.
18:23I'd secretly bought a wedding dress, worked up every ounce of courage to propose to him.
18:27But as luck would have it, I was a few minutes late to the party that night.
18:31I walked in just as he was talking with his friends.
18:33I stood by the door, listening to the voices inside.
18:36Quinn.
18:37He lit a cigarette, grinned lazily.
18:39Yeah, I'm over it.
18:40Seven years, man.
18:42Wouldn't you be?
18:43The others laughed along.
18:44Fair point.
18:45Seven years, even a goddess gets old.
18:47Though Quinn's genuinely stunning.
18:49That body, too.
18:50Remember Ethan's birthday last year?
18:52She wore that red dress and every guy in the room couldn't look away.
18:56Seriously, Ethan, you used to be so crazy about her.
18:58You really done?
18:59Ethan's voice was flat.
19:00When do I ever say things I don't mean?
19:03So, you wouldn't mind if I went after Quinn?
19:05He blew out a smoke ring, barely interested.
19:08Go for it.
19:09As long as you're both fine with it.
19:10Dude, have some self-respect!
19:12You really want Ethan's leftovers?
19:14More laughter.
19:15I didn't go into that room that night.
19:16I texted him some excuse about a headache and went home.
19:19Ethan didn't ask a single question, just hung up.
19:21Whatever was left of my will to stay, it died that night.
19:23Two days later, everyone in their circle was talking.
19:26Ethan was chasing some sophomore, performing arts school.
19:29Young, soft, naive.
19:30He always pursued others in a grand fashion,
19:32just like he did with me back then.
19:34Showering them with flowers, fancy cars, and jewelry.
19:37The girl couldn't resist his advances at all.
19:38They soon got together.
19:39At a friend's dinner, Ethan walked right in with her on his arm.
19:42The room went quiet the moment he stepped through the door.
19:45A few of my closer girlfriends shot me worried looks.
19:47I smiled.
19:48Why'd everyone go quiet?
19:49What are you all staring at?
19:50Ethan settled the girl into a seat and finally looked at me.
19:53Quinn.
19:54Perfect timing.
19:55Let's just say it plainly.
19:56Sure.
19:57Go ahead.
19:58Mia's young.
19:58She's genuine.
19:59I actually like her.
20:00I don't want to do her wrong.
20:01I gripped my hands together.
20:02The ring on my finger pressed into the flesh.
20:04Deep and sharp.
20:05But I couldn't feel a thing.
20:06He stroked the girl's hair.
20:08She deserves love real.
20:09I nodded lightly.
20:10I understand.
20:11We can still be friends.
20:12Anything you need, just say the word.
20:14That's okay.
20:15I smiled.
20:16Stood up.
20:16If it's over, let's make it clean.
20:17No point confusing anyone.
20:19Ethan raised an eyebrow.
20:20Slightly surprised.
20:21Fair enough.
20:22You all enjoy the dinner.
20:23I'll head out.
20:25Want the driver to take you?
20:26No.
20:26I'll grab a ride.
20:27I walked out and pulled the door shut behind me.
20:29Through the gap, I heard someone ask,
20:30How long do you give her this time?
20:32Two days.
20:34She seemed actually upset this time.
20:36I'll say a week.
20:37Ethan laughed cold.
20:39Three days.
20:40She'll be crying back to me before then.
20:42Every single time.
20:43Getting tired of watching it.
20:45Yeah, because Quinn's obsessed with you.
20:47Everyone knows how far gone she is.
20:49I smiled bitterly to myself, clutched my bag tighter, and walked fast toward the elevator.
20:54Back at the apartment, I went to the back of the closet and lifted down the dress.
20:57I'd waited half a year for it.
20:59A custom order.
21:00No returns.
21:01Such a shame.
21:02I'd never get to wear it.
21:03I found a pair of scissors and cut it apart.
21:05It had no business being here anyway.
21:07Before I left, I took off the ring and set it on the coffee table.
21:10I didn't take much.
21:11My personal things.
21:12Everything else I left behind.
21:14I thought about it, then wrote him a note.
21:15The apartment and everything in it.
21:17Do whatever you want with it.
21:18Don't ask me.
21:19I booked the earliest flight to Miami.
21:21My best friend had moved there earlier that year.
21:22She dragged me out for shopping and afternoon coffee.
21:25That evening, there was a small get-together.
21:26Old classmates.
21:27Old friends.
21:28Midway through the drinks, the door swung open.
21:30A few of the girls immediately lit up.
21:32Lucas?
21:32Since when do you show up to things like this?
21:34Seriously, what brings you out tonight?
21:37Had a meeting next door.
21:38Heard there was a reunion.
21:40Figured I'd drop by.
21:41Lucas said this, never taking his eyes off me.
21:43My best friend pinched my arm.
21:44Quinn, he came for you.
21:46I looked at him through slightly unfocused eyes.
21:48Taller than Ethan by an inch or two.
21:50Black overcoat.
21:51Dark suit underneath.
21:52Sharp features.
21:53A great build.
21:54Legs that went on forever.
21:56I squinted at him for a moment, then shook my head.
21:58No way.
21:59We haven't talked in years.
22:00She wasn't listening.
22:01She called out to him directly.
22:03Lucas, could you do me a favor and drive Quinn home later?
22:06We've all been drinking, and I don't trust her in a taxi.
22:08I looked up at Lucas, startled.
22:10His eyes traveled across the room and settled on my face.
22:13Then I saw him nod.
22:15Sure.
22:16My best friend sat back down, leaned close to my ear.
22:18Quinn, after seven years with one man, it's time to move on and embrace a new life.
22:22Even Ethan has done it.
22:24Why can't you start a second chapter of your own?
22:27Besides, a man like Lucas?
22:29If you don't take your shot, it's practically a crime.
22:31What makes you think he'd even want to?
22:34Babe, the way he looked at you?
22:35Trust me, I've been through 18 of them.
22:37I know what I'm talking about.
22:41Bastard!
22:41He slapped Theodore hard across the face.
22:44Is this how you welcome your sister?
22:46Mr. and Mrs. Landon were not paying attention.
22:48I secretly flipped him the middle finger.
22:50Mrs. Landon searched for a handkerchief.
22:52She wanted to wipe Serafina's tears.
22:54Serafina winked at me playfully during the gap.
22:57Yes, we won our first battle.
22:59However, we had no time to celebrate.
23:01Then we saw the fake daughter, Mandy, crying loudly.
23:04She stood on a stool, preparing to hang herself.
23:10And yet he treated a two-faced fake heiress like a treasure.
23:13For that fake imposter, he even hired men to kidnap and hurt his own sister.
23:18He did not know Serafina and I were an infamous duo since childhood.
23:22People at the orphanage called us the Satan Sisters.
23:24I had a tongue so sharp I could make people contemplate their entire existence.
23:28Serafina had brutal fighting skills that terrified all local street thugs.
23:32No one in the entire orphanage dared to mess with us.
23:35Even the vicious alley pit bull always hit its fangs around us.
23:39It slunk along the walls to avoid our path.
23:41At 14 we were armed with pipes deciding which local gang to take down next.
23:45Suddenly, the director walked over with a big smile.
23:48A well-dressed, wealthy couple followed closely behind him.
23:51They said Serafina was the lost heiress of the Landon family.
23:55The Landons were a famous old money family from New York.
23:57When they tried to take her, Serafina refused without me.
24:00Lori protected me for years.
24:02Otherwise, I'd be bullied to death.
24:04If you do not adopt her, I am not going back.
24:07I quickly dropped my pipe and smiled sweetly.
24:09Hello? I am the most obedient and polite kid here.
24:12You won't regret taking me.
24:14Bullied? The most obedient?
24:16Did these two little monsters hear themselves?
24:18The director feared we two troublemakers would stay and ruin the orphanage.
24:21So he made a decision against his own conscience.
24:24Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Landon, Serafina and Lori are indeed our best, most polite children.
24:29They share a deep bond and never separate.
24:32Why not adopt both of them together?
24:34The Landons exchanged glances, looking a bit swayed.
24:36Raising another child is not hard for us.
24:40But we already have an adopted daughter at home.
24:43I worry they might not get along.
24:44Sarah and I instantly exchanged alert glances.
24:47A fake heiress?
24:52I could not let Serafina go back alone then.
24:54If that girl was a two-faced bitch, Sarah would get eaten alive in that house.
24:58Mr. and Mrs. Landon, Sarah might get depressed and suicidal in a new environment.
25:02If you take me, I promise to accompany and care for her.
25:06Yes, if you disagree, I will jump off the Brooklyn Bridge tonight.
25:09I mean what I say!
25:10Woohoo!
25:11Terrified, Mrs. Landon quickly grabbed my bestie's hand.
25:14Mr. Landon let out a long sigh.
25:16The couple finally compromised.
25:18We can take you, but there is a younger sister at home.
25:20I will get along well with my sister.
25:22Do not worry, Mom.
25:23The director was moved to tears.
25:25He wished he could fire confetti cannons to send us off.
25:29This is wonderful!
25:31Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Landon, on getting two daughters!
25:34After the Landons went to do paperwork, I grabbed Serafina's hand.
25:38Good, Sarah, you kept your word.
25:39You did not forget our promise to get rich together.
25:42I feared people would retaliate against you after I left.
25:44You'd end up dead in a ditch, and no one would care.
25:47Love you, Sarah.
25:49The fake imposter did not come today.
25:51She probably did not want you to return.
25:53If she is a bitch, I will help you.
25:57Help you deal with her.
25:58We were invincible in the orphanage through our perfect teamwork over the years.
26:02I hit people's sore spots with harsh words to drive them crazy.
26:05She knocked the furious people down with her fists.
26:07But Serafina had no experience dealing with two-faced hypocrites.
26:13Good, Lori.
26:14Our future wealth depends entirely on you.
26:17Do not worry.
26:19Leave it to me.
26:20After finishing the paperwork, we got into a luxury car.
26:23Mrs. Landon briefly introduced their family during the ride.
26:26Besides the adopted daughter, they had a biological son.
26:29He was two years older than Serafina.
26:31Serafina got lost at age five because of him.
26:33The culprit did not even come to pick her up.
26:35Clearly, he did not welcome Serafina's return.
26:37The car drove through the busy streets of Manhattan.
26:40Finally, we entered a massive iron gate.
26:42The Landon estate was as huge as a small castle.
26:45As we got out, we saw a gloomy boy with crossed arms.
26:48A tall guard dog sat right next to him.
26:54Theodore's expression turned foul while scanning us.
26:56It looked like someone sprayed cheap perfume on his custom suit.
27:00My bestie and I held hands.
27:01We called him brother with sweet voices.
27:03Theodore's expression twisted visibly.
27:05Did you actually adopt another one?
27:07Mr. Landon explained I was just an addition.
27:09He said I had no inheritance rights.
27:12Theodore finally let out a reluctant sigh of relief.
27:14I warn you, never bully Mandy.
27:17Otherwise, do not blame me for being ruthless.
27:20After that, his guard dog barked at us immediately.
27:23Hearing this, I quickly hid behind my bestie.
27:25I pretended to look very tinnit.
27:26Sera, why is your brother so biased?
27:29If he protected you like this back then, you would not have suffered.
27:32You would not have spent years in that miserable orphanage.
27:35My hidden meaning was very clear.
27:36Theodore was the culprit who lost his real sister.
27:39Yet he felt no guilt at all.
27:40He even threatened us to protect a fake sister.
27:43Was his brain broken?
27:44Sure enough, Mr. and Mrs. Landon's faces darkened instantly.
27:47Theodore turned red with rage.
27:48He wanted to talk back immediately.
27:50I quickly pinched Serafina's waist.
27:52Serafina understood my signal instantly.
27:54Since Theodore dislikes me so much,
27:56I will go back.
27:59I should return to the orphanage.
28:02Lori, let's go!
28:02Mr. Landon panicked.
28:04He rushed forward.
28:07Bastard!
28:07He slapped Theodore hard across the face.
28:10Is this how you welcome your sister?
28:12Get lost with your dog!
28:13He glared at us with deep resentment.
28:15His lips trembled, but he dared not speak.
28:18Mr. and Mrs. Landon were not paying attention.
28:20I secretly flipped him the middle finger.
28:22Mrs. Landon searched for a handkerchief.
28:24She wanted to wipe Serafina's tears.
28:26Serafina winked at me playfully during the gap.
28:28Yes, we won our first battle.
28:30However, we had no time to celebrate.
28:33Then we saw the fake daughter, Mandy, crying loudly.
28:35She stood on a stool, preparing to hang herself.
28:42I stepped right into Chase's path and held it out.
28:45Thanks for helping me move in the other day.
28:47I didn't wait for a response.
28:49Ducked my head like I was shy.
28:50And walked back to Jade before he could say anything.
28:52His teammates lost it immediately.
28:55Elbowing him, making noise.
28:56The way Jade looked at me shifted.
28:58There was awe in it now.
29:00It started with a housing reassignment.
29:01The dean stopped me in the hallway.
29:04We're planning to move you into Ridgewood 302 to take Lauren's place.
29:07What do you think?
29:08Lauren, the one before me, had ended up in the counselor's office twice.
29:11Her roommates were bad girls, led by Jade.
29:14They had burned her head.
29:15I draw the short straw.
29:16And I don't have a choice in this?
29:18You're here on a full scholarship, one that's funded by our donors.
29:21I trust you know what's expected of you.
29:23Everyone else at this school had money or connections.
29:25I had neither.
29:26So I'm just some poor schmuck supposed to accept it, huh?
29:29I'd been fidgety all noon, unable to settle down.
29:31If I moved in, I'd end up like Lauren.
29:33Or worse.
29:34Then the back door swung open and Chase walked in with half the lacrosse team.
29:37I watched him drop into a seat and pull out his phone.
29:39And just like that, I had an idea.
29:41Chase was the school alpha, captain of the lacrosse team.
29:44The kind of guy Jade's clique would never go after directly.
29:46If I could make it look like we were close, even just for a few days,
29:50it might be enough breathing room to figure out the rest.
29:52I walked over and set a completed problem set down in front of him.
29:55Today's homework.
29:55He didn't look up from his phone.
29:56I slid it closer.
29:57Fed up, he was about to tear it up, only to find it had already been filled out completely.
30:01Then he finally bothered to look at me properly.
30:03The dean asked you to help me move.
30:05It wasn't exactly humiliating for him.
30:08I'd even had the sense to sweeten the deal with a finished homework set.
30:11Consider it of me, I thought.
30:12That afternoon, I walked into Ridgewood 302 with Chase carrying half my boxes.
30:17I slid the key in and pushed the door open.
30:19There was Jade, seated in the chair.
30:21A circle of bad girls flanking her.
30:23The whole scene set up like an interrogation.
30:25Stella, right?
30:27There are rules in this room.
30:28You follow mine.
30:29I'd expected exactly this.
30:31I let out a small sound and stopped in the doorway.
30:34Why'd you stop?
30:34Let's go.
30:35Chase stepped out from behind me, bags in both hands.
30:37The click went silent.
30:39What rules?
30:40Can she put her stuff on the desk or not?
30:43Jade stood up slowly.
30:46She, yeah, she can.
30:48Chase dropped the boxes on the desk without ceremony.
30:50He went back for the rest, brought in my toiletries, set them in the bathroom without a word, and left.
30:55Do you want to grab dinner together?
30:56Nah.
30:57I caught up with him in the hallway.
30:59Fine then.
31:00Coach Barnett's been asking about your attendance again.
31:02Be careful.
31:03I watched his back disappear around the corner.
31:05Then I turned around, put on my best expression of lingering affection, and closed the door.
31:09The atmosphere in the room had shifted entirely.
31:11So you and Chase, what's the deal with you two?
31:13I glanced up and tucked my hair behind one ear, smiled shyly, and saying nothing.
31:17Sometimes silence was the whole answer.
31:19The bad girl's eyes instantly filled with awe.
31:22They could push around any ordinary girl.
31:24But Chase Hartley's girlfriend?
31:25I finished unpacking, moved my shampoo to the shelf closest to the door.
31:28The perfect spot.
31:30I could just gain relief.
31:32Nobody said a word.
31:34A few days passed.
31:35Ridgewood 302 was quiet.
31:37Everyone was being oddly polite.
31:39Until one afternoon, I ran into Jade outside the dining hall.
31:41She was alone, which was unusual.
31:43Eating alone?
31:44Where's Chase?
31:45My stomach dropped.
31:46She was starting to wonder.
31:48Right on cue, Chase and his teammates came out of the gym across the quad.
31:51I pushed my hair back, gave my brightest smile.
31:54Practice ran late.
31:55Knowing him, he probably hasn't eaten anything.
31:57I jogged over to the vending machine by the gym entrance and grabbed a carton of chocolate milk.
32:01Then I stepped right into Chase's path and held it out.
32:05Thanks for helping me move in the other day.
32:07I didn't wait for a response, ducked my head like I was shy, and walked back to Jade before he
32:11could say anything.
32:12His teammates lost it immediately, elbowing him, making noise.
32:16The way Jade looked at me shifted.
32:18There was awe in it now.
32:19Does he actually drink that snuck?
32:21No idea.
32:22I like it, so I bought it.
32:23To her, I was now the girl Chase Hartley lets feed him chocolate milk.
32:28Not far off, Chase glanced at me.
32:30Then, against all reasonable expectations, he had bitten down on the straw.
32:35He was walking back toward the dorms, drinking it like this was completely normal.
32:40He left something on my desk.
32:42Our photo.
32:43Cut into tiny pieces.
32:45I couldn't even make out our faces.
32:49Slept for six years.
32:52Griffin pinned me against the dark stairwell.
32:55Serafina, you really think you can keep sleeping with your brother forever?
32:58But he doesn't know that, this time, I'm no longer the one at his mercy.
33:03We're done.
33:04Time to wake up.
33:08I didn't tell him the truth.
33:11Didn't tell him I'd already agreed to marry his friend.
33:13And my wedding would happen first.
33:17At Thanksgiving dinner, my stepbrother, Griffin, finally came home.
33:20After three months of ghosting me, he wore a perfectly tailored suit.
33:24A stunning woman was clinging to his arm.
33:28Everyone, this is Brielle, my girlfriend.
33:32Welcome.
33:33My mother's entire face lit up.
33:36Griffin pulled out Brielle's chair and poured her wine.
33:39Every move deliberate and attentive.
33:43At the head of the table, my stepfather, Harrison, smiled approvingly.
33:47Well, looks like Griffin finally came to his senses.
33:49For a while there, I thought my son would never bring a woman home.
33:52No one at that table knew the truth.
33:55We'd been sleeping together in secret for six years.
33:58Footsteps followed close behind me.
34:00I turned around, and Griffin was right there.
34:03Griffin and I were never just brother and sister.
34:06When I was 14, my mother married Harrison Ashford.
34:09His son, Griffin, was one year older than me.
34:11The summer I turned 18, I cornered him in the pool house and told him how I felt.
34:17You serious?
34:19Fine.
34:20But if our parents lose their minds over this, you'd better have my back.
34:23I took that as a yes.
34:24I followed him to college in London.
34:27What?
34:34This is the creator's ship.
34:48The creator is waiting for you.
34:51What?
35:23I'll have to ride on him to push him to peak, then extract what we need.
35:27You sure you want this?
35:28Then start already, Mom.
35:30We're not missing the jean market window.
35:31We're not missing the jean market window.
36:02Get out!
36:03Where's Eden?
36:12You're just trash without implants.
36:15And you slept with my stepmom?
36:16You're disgusting.
36:18Eden, you two set me up!
36:22Invoke the Interstellar Moral Exemptionings Protocol.
36:24Divorce him, strip all his access, and dump this trash in the Underviddy.
36:29You bastard!
36:31Five years of marriage and I'm just a jean from to you?
36:33I won't let you get away with this!
36:50DNA verified.
36:51Assets wiped.
36:53Exile protocol initiated.
37:21Fresh meat.
37:23Tear his limbs off.
37:30Shhh.
37:35Rawr!
37:35Rawr!
37:43Rawr!
37:45Rawr!
37:55Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
38:20Ha ha ha ha ha.
38:53This is... the Creator's ship.
39:08The Creator is waiting for you.
39:11What?
39:26Welcome home, sir.
39:34Try to get some rest.
39:36We'll reach the Creator's sanctum soon.
40:20Creator, K.N. is here.
40:32Gene sequence match complete.
40:34Bloodline confirmed.
40:37Purity, 99.9%.
40:39Only my descendants deserve the power to change the world.
40:45Cain, my son.
40:47What? I'm your son?
40:51Then where were you for the past 30 years?
40:54I was fighting just to survive down there,
40:56when that bitch Eden drained the marrow right out of me up in the sky, Metropolis.
41:01Where the hell were you?
41:03Listen, I know you have questions, but I'm old now.
41:07I need someone to take my place.
41:09And if you've never been through the Abyss,
41:12you're not fit to rule the world as the Creators.
41:15Thirst.
41:19Deploy the Creator's Eye.
41:23The Creator's Eye will let you see through every illusion,
41:27data, deception, weakness.
41:29But the pain of the implantation, you won't be able to endure it.
41:32You'll need anesthesia.
41:34No.
41:35I don't need anesthesia.
41:36Look, I want to remember every second of this pain
41:39and return it a hundredfold to everyone who took from me.
41:48I can see everything.
41:57And I was the one who created what you're seeing right now.
42:01Tell me, Cain.
42:04Will you take my place as the new creator?
42:19Tell me, Cain.
42:21Will you take my place as the new creator?
42:31This is the Blue of Sia.
42:34Take it.
42:37And every memory of betrayal and humiliation will be permanently erased.
42:42You'll live out the rest of your days in complete peace.
42:45More wealth than you could ever spend.
42:50The Blue of Sia.
42:59This is the Crimson Matrix world.
43:02Take it.
43:03And you inherit every power and authority I hold in this world.
43:07But you keep every scar.
43:10Every hatred.
43:11Every humiliation.
43:13And face a world of blood and betrayal.
43:22The Blue of Sia.
43:29The Blue Elysium.
43:31No.
43:32I am keeping every inch of that pain.
43:42And I will drag every one of those self-righteous traitors
43:46from the clouds down into the filth.
44:04Becoming the creator isn't that easy.
44:12My empire is vast, but it's being devoured.
44:18These ten obelisks mark the trials you must conquer, light them, and crush the vermin.
44:29Are you ready to take it on?
44:33I'm in.
44:34Create a matrix bound successfully.
44:36Highest authority holder.
44:37Fine.
44:40Go, my child.
44:47Cain, the first trial has been unlocked.
44:57Eden.
44:59Cathy.
45:01It's time you pay for this.
45:05I'm sorry.
45:19Sir.
45:20The first trial takes place tonight at the Apex Arena here in the Sky Metropolis.
45:24You must claim the final bounty item in your own name.
45:30What is it?
45:38I don't have clearance for the Apex Arena.
45:41And I don't have the money to enter.
45:44Pull some funds from the Creator's safe.
45:49Sir, you already hold the highest clearance at the Apex Arena.
45:53But you'll need to secure the funds yourself.
45:56That's part of the trial.
46:00Take me to Eden's place.
46:44Got it.
46:55How did you get in here?
