00:00From this day forward, until death do you part.
00:02I do.
00:02And do you, Penelope?
00:04No.
00:05No!
00:06Penelope, it's not too late.
00:07Go away, Mother.
00:09Sweetheart, please!
00:10Go away!
00:11Please, we are one yes away from a whole new life!
00:13Please!
00:15I like myself the way I am.
00:16I was only one step away from breaking the curse, but I gave up.
00:19Because of the curse, I was born with the pig's face.
00:21My mother told everyone I was dead to protect me.
00:24When I grew up, she set up countless blind dates for me,
00:27all to find true love and break the curse.
00:28But every time they saw my face, they all ran away.
00:31Then Marcus showed up and gave me hope.
00:32He never saw my face, but he played the piano for me and made me laugh.
00:36He played chess with me and described the world outside.
00:38He encouraged me to touch real life, lowly.
00:40My heart began to open.
00:41I thought he would be different, but when I finally stood in front of him, he ran.
00:45Just like everyone else, my mother tried to explain the curse to him,
00:48but she saw him with the reporter who took my photos years ago.
00:50She ran back and screamed that he was a liar, but I didn't care anymore.
00:53I just wanted to be brave one more time.
00:55Once the curse is broken, I'll be just like anybody else.
00:58What if the curse can never be broken?
01:00Then I'll kill myself.
01:01I promise.
01:02Marry me, Max.
01:03Marry me.
01:04I can't.
01:05His words shattered me completely, but they also woke me up.
01:08My cure was never in any man.
01:10That night, I heard my parents picking my next blind date.
01:12I had enough.
01:13I snuck out while they weren't looking.
01:15I ran out of the castle where I lived for over a decade.
01:17I saw the outside world for the first time.
01:19It was new and dazzling, even better than Marcus described.
01:23Just as I was enjoying my new freedom, I saw a wanted poster in the newspaper.
01:26Someone offered $5,000 for my photo.
01:28I panicked and started hiding.
01:30To survive, I took my own photo and mailed it to that reporter.
01:33The next day, my face was on the front page.
01:35My mother fainting when she saw it, but I wasn't afraid anymore.
01:38I even made friends and started a new life.
01:39Then my mother recognized me on the street and screamed my name.
01:42I ran in a panic and rushed into a familiar restaurant, but the running left me breathless.
01:46The next second, I collapsed.
01:48My friend pulled off my scarf right there.
01:49In that moment, my face was completely exposed.
01:52When I woke up the next day, something unexpected happened.
01:54I wasn't rejected.
01:55I became famous instead.
01:57I didn't have to hide anymore.
01:58Even Edward, who once rejected me, came back to propose.
02:01First time he saw me, he ran away in fear.
02:03He even told the police I was a man eating pig.
02:05I knew he didn't love me.
02:06He just wanted the big dowry.
02:08I wanted to say no, but my mother said it was the only way to break the curse.
02:11I had no choice but to agree.
02:13At the wedding, Edward's face was full of pain and struggle.
02:15I knew I couldn't marry him, so I ran.
02:18Edward's face showed a look of relief.
02:19My mother begged me to finish the ceremony, but I couldn't marry someone who didn't love me.
02:24Loving myself was enough.
02:25Right after I said that, a gust of wind swept me up.
02:27Memories came rushing back like a tidal wave.
02:29I lost consciousness instantly.
02:31When I opened my eyes again, all I saw was my mother's terrified stare.
