FunTranscript
00:05To my parents, I was their ugly, unwanted daughter.
00:09But as I grew up, I became a breathtaking beauty.
00:13My father, Adrian Hayes, was an Oscar-winning actor.
00:16My mother, Celeste Hayes, was a Grammy-winning singer.
00:19They were obsessed with beautiful faces and flawless faces.
00:23But when I was born, I looked like a wrinkled monkey.
00:26And when I cried, I sounded like a frog.
00:28My cries were so unbearable, they had the whole hospital room complaining.
00:32So my parents gave me a nickname, Toad.
00:35Then they sent me away to live with my grandmother, Maggie, in a small town.
00:40Eighteen years later, I got into Harvard Business School.
00:44Only then did they agree to let me come home.
00:47My father glanced at me, then frowned deeply.
00:50A cap, sunglasses, and a mask?
00:52What are you trying to hide?
00:54Are you really so ugly that you can't even show your face?
00:57My mother let out a mocking laugh.
01:00She probably saw us on TV with her sister, Sienna.
01:03She knows she'd only look worse standing next to someone as gorgeous as Sienna.
01:07Ugly girls are always so good at hiding their faces.
01:11Sienna took my hand.
01:13Oh, honey, I know standing next to a stunning sister like me is terrifying.
01:17But beauty is a total burden.
01:19You're blessed to be ugly.
01:20Nobody's looking.
01:21Nobody hears.
01:22Nobody cares.
01:22Zero pressure.
01:23Must be so relaxing.
01:24I remembered the letters Maggie sent them every month.
01:28Bring Violet back to Los Angeles.
01:29She gets prettier every day.
01:31Local boys are practically climbing over my fence just to catch a glimpse of her.
01:35She sent photos, too.
01:37They had never opened the letters.
01:39Never looked at the pictures.
01:41They had no idea what I'd become.
01:42Mom, I stood there in silence.
01:48Dad, Mom, she's always been so insecure about her looks.
01:51Give her a few more compliments.
01:53Maybe it'll make her feel like she's not so ugly.
01:56Take that mask off.
01:57Let me see if your face is completely hopeless.
02:00A girl with no manners could never be pretty.
02:03She's nothing like Sienna.
02:05Gorgeous, sweet, and impeccably raised.
02:08She walks into this house and can't even call us mom and dad.
02:12Don't let her take that mask off, Adrienne.
02:14She'll turn your stomach.
02:15But I wasn't being rude.
02:17We were like total strangers.
02:18So when I met my parents for the first time in 18 years,
02:22I couldn't even get the words mom and dad out.
02:27Where is my room?
02:31My voice carried through the grand foyer.
02:33Clear, soft, and almost unearthly.
02:37My mother froze.
02:38She stared at me as if she couldn't believe her own ears.
02:43To my surprise, she answered politely.
02:47Second floor, the second room on the left.
02:49My father and Sienna looked at her.
02:52Her face flushed at once.
02:54Embarrassed by their stares, she quickly hardened her expression.
02:57That room used to be Sienna's dressing room.
03:00Sienna inherited our looks and talent.
03:04Several talent agencies wanted to sign her before she even turned 18.
03:07That room means a lot to her.
03:12You can't stay there for long.
03:13Once the Harvard dorms open, you're out.
03:17Got it?
03:18Got it.
03:19I'll be out once the dorms open.
03:21My voice caught her attention again.
03:24Before she could stop herself, the edge in her tone softened.
03:28Well, you don't need to leave in such a hurry.
03:31You can stay until you graduate, or even until you land a job.
03:38What a waste.
03:40Such a gorgeous voice.
03:41But with a face like that, she'll never make it on camera.
03:45I didn't even bother unpacking.
03:47Back in my room, I took off my cap, sunglasses, and mask.
03:51Instead, I pulled out my phone and messaged Maya Collins,
03:54the coordinator for Harvard's pre-orientation program.
03:57Hi, Maya.
03:58This is Violet Hayes.
03:59I'd like to apply for early move-in next Friday.
04:03Maya replied almost instantly.
04:06I got your request, Violet.
04:08That's a beautiful name, by the way.
04:11My grandmother gave me that name.
04:12My parents had only given me a nickname.
04:15Toad.
04:16They said they would choose my real name later.
04:19Then they sent me to Maggie.
04:21When I was five, my school required a legal name for enrollment.
04:25Maggie called my parents many times.
04:28They always answered the same way.
04:29We know. We know. We're working on it.
04:32We're shooting a movie, recording an album, going on tour.
04:36Is a name really that urgent?
04:39The enrollment deadline arrived, and I was still unnamed.
04:43So Maggie made the choice herself.
04:46Sweetheart, I don't care if you ever become rich or famous.
04:49I just want you to grow up free and strong like a wild violet.
04:54That was how I became Violet Hayes.
04:57In my parents' eyes, I was just a disposable little toad.
05:01But to Maggie, I had always been Violet, the girl she raised with all her heart.
05:06Toad.
05:07Dinner is served.
05:09She knew I was also a Hayes daughter, yet she called Sina Miss Sienna.
05:15For me, there was only a distant, impersonal toad.
05:18It did not matter.
05:19I knew this place had never been my home, and I had never expected it to become one.
05:25Before going downstairs, I remembered what my mother had said.
05:28Don't take off your mask.
05:30You'll make us lose our appetite.
05:32So I put it back on.
05:37The living room was filled with gowns, high shields, and jewelry.
05:41Several maids stood around Sina holding diamonds up one by one for her to choose.
05:45She looked like a princess preparing for her coronation.
05:48And I stood in the shadows, wearing a mask, just to save them from losing their appetite.
05:56My father noticed me on the stairs.
05:58For an instant, he looked uncomfortable.
06:00Then his eyes swept over me from head to toe.
06:04Tomorrow is Sienna's birthday party.
06:07And all eyes need to be on her.
06:11Wear whatever you brought, but keep it locune.
06:14With a face like yours, dressing up will only make you look pathetic.
06:19And I won't have you humiliating the entire Hayes family.
06:23They had never given me their time, their money, or their love.
06:28Even now, they couldn't spare me a shred of concern.
06:31So I nodded.
06:33My father hesitated.
06:34Maybe my silence made him uncomfortable.
06:36I'm not saying you shouldn't dress up at all.
06:38Just don't overdo it.
06:40Sienna can give you a few clothes she barely wears.
06:43Stick to something simple.
06:44I was about to refuse when the butler hurried in.
06:47Mr. Hayes, Mr. Whitmer has arrived.
06:50I have an important guest here.
06:51Have your lunch in your room and stay out of sight.
06:55The last thing we need is our guests asking two people like us ended up with such an ugly daughter.
07:06Toad, don't take it personally.
07:08Mom and dad have an image to protect, and they can't risk any bad press.
07:13Just stay in your room for dinner, too.
07:17I can handle hosting the guests as their daughter on my own.
07:21My parents said nothing.
07:23Their silence said it all.
07:25In this family, everyone was polished, glabrous, and used to living in the spotlight.
07:31I was the only stain that had to be hidden away.
07:35From now on, I'll eat in my room.
07:38She might be an eyesore, but at least she knows not to embarrass us.
07:43I did exactly as they asked.
07:45The next day, just as they were about to cut Sienna's birthday cake,
07:50a maid knocked on my door.
07:52Miss Sienna wants you downstairs?
07:54I put on my mask and followed her downstairs.
07:57She said she'd like to share some birthday cake with you.
08:00But by the time I reached the living room, the cake was already gone.
08:04The butler and the maids each had a slice.
08:07Even the two dogs in the yard had been given some.
08:10Only I had nothing.
08:13Adrian and Celeste looked at each other.
08:16Your face is a lost cause, but at least you've got a decent figure.
08:19Skip the cake.
08:20Don't ruin the only advantage you have.
08:22Sienna's only trying to help you.
08:24I turned to go upstairs.
08:27Ethan, have you met my sister, Toad?
08:29She's the fiancé your parents picked out for you when you were kids.
08:35Why are you dressed like that?
08:37You look like a popper-opper trying to crash the party.
08:41Ethan, don't be so cruel.
08:43She's ugly, so she was afraid her face would scare the guests.
08:47She is your fiancé, you know.
08:50If you keep picking on her, she'll never come out of her room.
08:53My fiancé?
08:55An old family arrangement doesn't mean I'll marry some ugly girl.
08:59If I'm getting married, my wife will be someone like Sienna.
09:02Beautiful, polished, and well-mannered.
09:04He humiliated me in front of everyone.
09:07My parents didn't defend me.
09:09They only looked embarrassed in front of him.
09:12That arrangement was made years ago, before we had any idea Toad would turn out like this.
09:17The Whitmerds are one of the most powerful families in Los Angeles.
09:21Of course, we'd only offer you our best and most beautiful daughter.
09:25Toad can't show her face in public?
09:27We'll keep her locked in her room forever before we ever let her humiliate this family.
09:33Still, I said nothing.
09:35I didn't want a fiancé like Ethan anyway.
09:38But he wasn't done with me yet.
09:40Toad, take off the mask.
09:43I want to see what you're actually hiding under there.
09:47With parents as gorgeous as you two, she can't be a total lost cause.
09:51I'm dying to know, what does she actually look like?
09:57With this many people here, there's got to be someone willing to marry her.
10:00They didn't dare agree.
10:02They didn't dare refuse.
10:04Even my own parents had never cared enough to truly look at my face.
10:08They were afraid I would remove my mask and make the Hayes family a laughing stud.
10:13You already rejected the engagement, so what I look like is hardly your concern.
10:17I'm heading to Harvard.
10:18I have my own degree to earn, my own career to build, and I'm not in a rush to get
10:22married.
10:22Who I marry is none of your business.
10:25Ethan's expression darked.
10:27Then he reached for my mask.
10:31Wait, she got into Harvard?
10:33That's impressive, right?
10:35But Adrian and Celesta didn't even raise her.
10:37She grew up in a small town.
10:39Whatever she looks like, she must be smart.
10:42For one brief moment, my parents looked proud.
10:45Sienna saw it.
10:46Her smile disappeared.
10:49Toad, degrees and brains are great and all, but let's be honest, looks matter too.
10:53If you really don't care what you look like, why have you been hiding behind that mask all night?
10:59Some of LA's top plastic surgeons are here tonight.
11:03Why don't you let them already reaching take a look?
11:05Maybe there's something they can do for you.
11:08Sweetie?
11:08She made it sound like she was asking for my permission, but her hand was already reaching for my face.
11:15You ugly freak.
11:16Tonight, everyone in this room is going to see what you really look like.
11:22My mask was ripped from my face.
11:28I wiped the water from my face.
11:30My stoking wet hair fell away from my cheeks.
11:33Every eye at the party locked onto me.
11:35Happy now, Cien?
11:40Someone gasped first.
11:42Oh my god.
11:43The crowd recoiled like they'd just seen a monster.
11:46I looked down at my reflection in the pool.
11:48Wet hair was placed across my face, leaving only my eyes showing.
11:52In that moment, I really did look terrifying.
11:54I scrambled out of the water on my hands and knees.
11:57Sienna immediately covered her mouth and gasped dramatically.
12:00Toad, I'm so sorry.
12:01I didn't mean to.
12:02I just wanted the surgeons to fix your face so you could finally feel confident facing people.
12:06I had no idea it would turn out like this or freak everyone out.
12:10I gave her a flat look and said nothing.
12:12She kept apologizing, but the smirk at the corner of her lip gave her away.
12:16Neither of my parents even cared.
12:18Adrian frowned impatiently.
12:20Go change already.
12:21Haven't you embarrassed the Hayes family enough at Ciena's birthday party?
12:25The cold wind cut right through me, just like his words.
12:29I shivered, wrapped my arms around myself, and hurried back into the house.
12:33Behind me, people were still whispering.
12:37Ciena fought back a smile as she walked over to Ethan.
12:42Ethan, you weren't scared, were you?
12:44No wonder Toad never shows her face.
12:46She must be afraid she'd give everyone nightmares.
12:49Ethan said nothing.
12:51A few seconds passed before he finally spoke.
12:55I didn't get a good look at her.
12:56Did you?
12:57Ciena froze.
12:59Ethan kept looking in the direction I had gone.
13:01Her hair was covering her face.
13:03It was unsettling.
13:04But her eyes...
13:05Her eyes were beautiful.
13:09The smile on Ciena's face stiffened.
13:12She stared after me, her eyes turning cold.
13:15No matter how quiet I was, no matter how hard I tried to stay invisible, there was no room
13:21for me there.
13:21So I messaged Maya Collins.
13:24Something personal came up.
13:25Is there any way I can arrive on campus early?
13:27If the program needs help, I'm happy to pitch in.
13:29I can also cover my own expenses until the dorms open.
13:32Maya didn't ask any questions.
13:34She replied almost immediately.
13:36The dorms don't officially open until orientation week, but I have a spare room in my Kansas apartment.
13:40If you don't mind, you can stay with me until then.
13:42I'm actually recording an online vocal course right now and could use an extra hand.
13:46Would you be interested?
13:49Absolutely.
13:50I'll be there tomorrow morning.
13:52The next morning, packing took me less than a minute.
13:55Before I left, I put on my mask and sunglasses and went to say goodbye to my parents.
14:00But as I reached the stairs, I saw they were entertaining guests.
14:07I'd rarely seen them try so hard to kiss up to anyone.
14:11Yet, in front of the man in the living room, they were practically falling all over themselves with praise.
14:16Mr. Brooks, Sienna inherited the absolute best of both Celestin and me.
14:21She's had professional acting and vocal training since she was a child.
14:25She's every bit as talented as any famous actress today.
14:28Multiple agencies tried to sign her when she was only 15.
14:31But we didn't want to rush her into the business.
14:33Like you, we want her screen debut to make a real splash.
14:38This project has been in development for years.
14:41Naturally, the lead role should go to the right girl.
14:43But no matter how much they talked Sienna up, Mr. Brooks wouldn't budge.
14:47I'm sorry, but I already have someone in mind for the lead.
14:50I haven't found her yet, but I'm waiting for her.
14:53My parents looked equally shocked and embarrassed.
14:56Mr. Brooks continued as if he had not noticed.
14:59You both know this film has been in development for years.
15:02The only reason it hasn't gone into production is because I've been waiting for the right leading lady.
15:11May I ask, is she a well-known actress?
15:16She isn't an actress.
15:17She's not even in the industry.
15:18I don't know where she is now, but the first time I saw her, I knew she was my leading
15:22lady.
15:23No one else can play this role.
15:25An old, low-red photo filled the screen.
15:30And yet, he had set it as his wallpaper.
15:33Once you see her photo, you'll understand why I've waited all these years.
15:41The moment they saw the photo, both of them froze.
15:45Oh my God.
15:46How can anyone be that beautiful?
15:48No wonder a director like you, who's seen so many beautiful women, has never forgotten her.
15:54Sienna kept dropping hints, trying to steer the conversation back to her.
15:57But my parents couldn't bring themselves to say another word about giving her the lead.
16:02Before seeing the girl in the photo, they'd been certain Sienna and their connections would be enough.
16:06But now, for the first time, they realized Sienna wasn't even in the same league.
16:10That photo has to be edited.
16:12If someone actually looked like that in real life, she'd already be famous.
16:15There's no way she'd still be a nobody.
16:17Mr. Brooks, you're only going to disappoint yourself if you keep looking for her.
16:21No.
16:21It's real.
16:23Completely raw, completely untouched.
16:26A photographer friend of mine took it while shooting landscapes out of town.
16:29He just happened to catch her in the background.
16:32The first time I saw it, I doubted it too.
16:35But I checked the raw files straight off the camera myself.
16:39I had to admit it.
16:40She was born for the screen.
16:42It's not just that she's beautiful, she's a natural.
16:44And she's the only woman who can carry this film.
16:50Mr. Brooks, I think you're being a bit too idealistic.
16:52Even if that photo is real, it was taken four or five years ago.
16:55Who knows what she looks like now?
16:57Maybe she broke out during puberty.
16:59Maybe she gained weight or spent too much time in the sun.
17:02She might not look anything like that photo anymore.
17:05When you finally find her, you might realize her beauty was just a fluke.
17:08You'll regret waiting all these years for her.
17:12Mr. Brooks' expression darkened.
17:14Still out of respect for the Hayes family, he kept his voice measured.
17:19I might regret it when I finally meet her.
17:22But I know one thing for sure.
17:24If I settle for someone else, because I gave up looking for her, I'll regret it for the rest of
17:30my life.
17:31This film deserves the right lead.
17:34I won't compromise this story.
17:37And I won't disappoint the audience that's been waiting all these years.
17:42Only then did my parents and Sienna notice me standing at the top of the stairs.
17:46All three of them looked up at me at once.
17:51As I came down the stairs, a flicker of disgust crossed my father's face.
17:56You're leaving?
17:58I'm heading to school early.
18:00When they heard I was moving out early, neither of my parents bothered to ask a single question.
18:05Fine. Go ahead.
18:06Good.
18:07It'll free up space for Sienna's dressing room.
18:09Before I could even say goodbye, Sienna covered her face and burst into tears.
18:14Toad, did you come down here just to laugh at me?
18:18Don't cry, Sienna.
18:20What right does that ugly freak have to laugh at you?
18:23Daddy will throw another ten grand into your allowance.
18:25How's that sound?
18:26Exactly.
18:27She can't even show her face in public.
18:29Who is she to judge you?
18:30She's leaving today anyway.
18:32Mommy's taking you shopping right now.
18:34Buy whatever you want and we'll fill your closet back up, okay?
18:37I never even got the chance to say goodbye.
18:40It was as if I was nothing more than a nuisance they were finally getting rid of.
18:46When I got to Harvard, Maya Collins was waiting for me at the gates.
18:50She brought me to her apartment, handed me a glass of water, and couldn't stop looking me over.
18:58It's boiling out there.
19:00Why are you bundled up like that?
19:01I'm used to it.
19:02I just don't want to draw unnecessary attention.
19:04You sound like a celebrity dodging the paparazzi.
19:07Take all that off.
19:07Let me see you.
19:10Maya's smile froze.
19:12She stared at me for so long that I started to wonder if something was wrong.
19:16Finally, she snapped out of it.
19:19You were smart to cover up.
19:20Honestly, you should probably keep doing it.
19:22Otherwise, every guy on campus will be camped outside my door.
19:26How am I supposed to sleep?
19:28Violet, help me record some videos for my course.
19:31With a face like yours, my vocal class is going to blow up.
19:34I helped Maya film a piano and vocal performance.
19:37As she watched it back, the amazement in her eyes didn't fade.
19:41Your voice is incredible, and your pitch is ridiculously perfect.
19:45Violet, does anyone in your family do music?
19:50I thought about it.
19:52I guess you could say that.
19:54After all, I'd inherited my mother's voice and talent.
19:58At 10 that night, I'd just gotten ready for bed when Maya suddenly screamed.
20:03Violet, you went viral.
20:06The video's only been up for a few hours, and it already has over a min likes.
20:11People are saying your face is AI and that you lip synced it.
20:14Hell no.
20:15I'm posting the full live take right now.
20:18Let them see for themselves.
20:20Curious, I opened the link Maya sent me.
20:22Even my old classmates were flooding the comments.
20:24Can confirm she's real.
20:26The face and the voice are both 100% legit.
20:29She's the girl from our school.
20:30The one everyone talked about because she was already unreal by the time she was 12.
20:34I scrolled for a bit, then set my phone aside and got ready for sleep.
20:39Not long after, Maya's phone rang again.
20:42She picked up and immediately screamed for the second time that night.
20:47Violet, every major agency is trying to sign you.
20:50There are dozens of black SUVs parked outside the campus gates, and they're all asking for you by name.
20:58Violet, which agency do you want to sign with?
21:02None of them.
21:04I worked too hard to get into Harvard.
21:06Why would I give that up to join an entertainment company?
21:09Could you at least go out there and meet them?
21:11Just for me?
21:13The school just called.
21:14If you don't show your face, I won't even know what to tell them.
21:18I had no choice.
21:21Outside the gates, black SUVs and luxury vans.
21:24The second I stepped outside, people swarmed toward me.
21:27Oh my God.
21:28She's even prettier in person.
21:30Violet, you were born for this.
21:32Sign with us.
21:33We'll make you a superstar.
21:35The crowd closed in so tight I could barely move.
21:38Then a familiar figure pushed his way through.
21:42Violet, I'm here on behalf of Whitmore Media.
21:45If you're willing to sign, I can offer you our top-tier contract.
21:48So now he was finally willing to look me in the eye.
21:55I gave him the same cold look he'd always given me.
21:58I'm a freshman.
21:59I worked hard to get into Harvard.
22:01Why would I give that up for an agency?
22:03Miss Hates won the national academic competition this year.
22:05She's got the look, the voice, the grades, and Harvard.
22:09Whoever signs her is sitting on a gold mine.
22:12Just as the crowd started closing in again,
22:14Mr. Brooks' voice cut through the noise.
22:16Move aside.
22:17The crowd quiet down, hard to make way for him.
22:21I finally found you.
22:23You're the lead I've been waiting for.
22:25If you want to finish school first, I won't push you.
22:28I've already waited five years.
22:29I can make a few more.
22:30To me, a film is a work of art.
22:32Either I don't make it, or I make it as good as it can possibly be.
22:35If you're willing to take the role, I'll wait until you graduate.
22:42I looked at the man who'd waited five years for the right person.
22:45Then I remembered how he'd treated my parents and Sienna back at the house.
22:49He had principles.
22:50He set boundaries.
22:52At the very least, he was better than anyone in my family.
22:55Could I just film during summer and winter breaks?
22:58Of course.
22:59Your education comes first.
23:01If you take the role, you'll shoot whenever you're free.
23:04Once Mr. Brooks and I came to an agreement, everyone else had no choice but to leave empty-handed.
23:11The next morning, I put my cap, sunglasses, and mask back on before heading out for breakfast alone.
23:18But campus was suddenly crawling with people live streaming on their phones.
23:22They were searching everywhere, though I had no clue who they were looking for.
23:27Then a familiar voice called out.
23:29Toad, come here.
23:31Have they already figured something out?
23:34Celeste pulled out her phone and held it in front of me.
23:36The girl in the photo was me.
23:38My face uncovered.
23:42You're a Harvard student, too.
23:44Have you seen this girl?
23:45I didn't want to tell her it was me, but I didn't want to lie either.
23:49Mom, don't put Toad on the spot.
23:51Girls that pretty only hang out with people on their level.
23:54Besides, all of Hollywood is looking for this girl.
23:59Someone like Toad couldn't even get near her.
24:02I thought she might actually be useful for once.
24:05If she could help us track that girl down, it'd be a massive favor.
24:10The studio would owe me big time.
24:12And I'd have doors opening everywhere.
24:15I have to find her.
24:17If she agrees to train under me, I can launch her career myself.
24:20She could be world famous and carry on my legacy.
24:26Violet Hayes?
24:27You're saying that girl's name is Violet Hayes?
24:34Toad.
24:34Fine if you don't know her.
24:36But have you ever heard that name before?
24:38Violet Hayes?
24:39After all these years, they didn't even know my real name.
24:42To them, I'd always be Toad.
24:44The kid they could toss aside without a second thought.
24:46If you haven't heard of it, why would I?
24:49I thought you'd at least be smart enough to help Mom and Dad out here.
24:53Turns out you're just a book word.
24:56Honestly, Toad, you should just focus on taking care of yourself.
25:00Without a pretty face, life is a lot harder for a girl.
25:03But hey, since you read so much, I'm sure you'll be useful to them some other way someday.
25:09Right?
25:09After that, my parents didn't give me another glance.
25:12They turned and kept searching for their mystery girl.
25:15They had no idea.
25:17The Violet Hayes they were looking for was standing right in front of them.
25:21As soon as I got rid of them, Ethan started bothering me again.
25:25He texted me non-stop.
25:29I'm outside the campus gates.
25:30Come out and see me.
25:31You don't have to sign with Whitmore Media.
25:33We can just start as friends.
25:35I'm not signing with your company, and I have no interest in being your friend.
25:38I never expected someone as arrogant as Ethan to have this much patience.
25:43Coming from a girl like you, even rejection sounds good.
25:46Violet, you're getting more interesting by a minute.
25:49Whether you want to see me or not, we'll meet again.
25:53I blocked his number.
25:55But that very evening, we met again at the Hayes Mansion.
26:03That necklace is worth $500,000.
26:07Mom gave it to me for my 18th birthday.
26:10I'd give Toad anything else.
26:12Why did she have to steal the one thing I treasure most?
26:16No wonder she had praised my intelligence on campus earlier.
26:20She'd been setting this trap from the start.
26:22She didn't just want to ruin me.
26:24She'd even called Ethan over so he could watch me at my lowest.
26:30I didn't take it.
26:32I've never even seen that necklace.
26:35An officer walked out of my old bedroom holding a necklace.
26:38We found this under your mattress.
26:41Care to explain?
26:42If I stole it, why would I leave it behind?
26:45Why hide it under my mattress instead of taking it with me?
26:49Maybe you planned on taking it with you during the next break?
26:52Or maybe you didn't even want the necklace.
26:55Maybe you just wanted to take something that was mine.
26:57Toad, I don't want to think the worst of you, but the evidence is right here.
27:00We're sisters.
27:01Why would you do this to me?
27:03The moment Sienna started crying, my parents and Ethan immediately took her side.
27:08Accusations flew at me from all directions.
27:10I could barely tell who was saying what.
27:12When they finally quiet down, I spoke up.
27:15I told you, I didn't steal it.
27:17Doesn't this house have security cameras?
27:21Who put security cameras inside their own house?
27:25If you hadn't been stealing from us, we never would have had to worry about a thief under this roof.
27:30Wait.
27:31Mrs. Hayes had cameras installed in the hallway near the stairs.
27:36She said we needed to keep an eye on Toad, the girl from the country.
27:39She was worried Toad might cause trouble, so she had hidden cameras put in.
27:43She said the second Toad did anything suspicious, we were to throw her out.
27:46My mother had installed those cameras to spy on me.
27:50Instead, they were about to clear my name.
27:52The necklace has already been found.
27:54There's no need to check the footage.
27:56We're family.
27:57We should at least let Toad keep some dignity.
27:59She doesn't get to make that call.
28:00I'm the one being framed.
28:01I want to see the footage.
28:04I want my name cleared.
28:05The footage was pulled up in minutes.
28:08On screen, Sienna waited until everyone was asleep.
28:10Then she slipped into my room and hid the necklace under my mattress.
28:14The next morning, she pretended it was missing.
28:16And then she called the police.
28:18You're young.
28:18Focus on your education and on becoming a decent person.
28:21Framing your own sister?
28:22That's disgraceful.
28:25My parents looked mortified.
28:28For the first time, neither of them said a word in Sienna's defense.
28:33I'm sorry, Violet.
28:35Given the value of the necklace, we had to bring you in for questioning right away.
28:39But it's clear now, you were framed.
28:43Violet?
28:43What did you just call her?
28:45She's Violet Hayes?
28:46The Violet Hayes from Harvard?
28:48She rushed into the storage room.
28:51A moment later, she came running back with a dusty bag of letters.
28:55Maggie's letters.
28:56The ones she had sent over the years.
28:58It's her.
28:58It really is Violet.
29:00They were the pictures Maggie had sent.
29:01Photos of me growing up.
29:03She's our daughter.
29:04She really is our daughter.
29:05Ethan looked just as pale.
29:07Then he pulled off my mask.
29:09My hair fell back.
29:11Leaving my face completely exposed to everyone in the room.
29:14A heavy silence fell over the living room.
29:20How is this possible?
29:22Why did it have to be you?
29:23Why are you doing this?
29:24You came back to steal everything from me, didn't you?
29:26I'll kill you!
29:27Enough!
29:28Haven't you done enough to Violet already?
29:30How could you be so cruel?
29:32Touch her again and see what happens.
29:33I watched Sienna break down in tears.
29:36I felt no satisfaction.
29:38They had called me ugly.
29:40They had called me an embarrassment.
29:42But the second they realized I was beautiful enough to bring them fame and fortune,
29:46suddenly everyone remembered I was their daughter.
29:49That was when I understood.
29:51Some people only love a child who can bring them status.
29:54Some people only love a pretty face.
29:56And the only person I was truthfully grateful for was them.
30:01Later on, I starred in Mr. Brooks' film.
30:04When it premiered, I became a global sensation overnight.
30:08At the awards ceremony, my parents stood in the audience, shouting through tears.
30:13That's our daughter!
30:14Violet, we're so proud of you!
30:15Ethan had covered the stage in 9,999 roses.
30:19Violet, everyone knows our families arranged our engagement when we were kids.
30:23Until I personally call it off, you're still my fiancé.
30:26You're the most talked about rising star in the world right now.
30:29You've got beauty, talent, and everything people dream of.
30:32Is there anything you'd like to say to your parents and your fiancé?
30:35For a moment, I said nothing.
30:37No.
30:39There's only one person I want to talk to.
30:41Maggie.
30:42Some people only love a daughter who brings them status.
30:45Some people only love a pretty face.
30:47Thank you for loving me when I was still the toad they were ashamed of,
30:49not just after I became Violet Hayes.
30:51The daughter they suddenly remembered was theirs.
30:56Applause echoed through the auditorium.
30:58For the first time in my life, my parents were looking at me the way they'd always looked at Sienna.
31:03With pride, with hunger, with the satisfaction that I made them look good.
31:08Violet, we're here for you.
31:10We can make up for everything.
31:12I almost laughed.
31:14Make up for it?
31:15Could they make up for the name they never gave me?
31:18For every letter Maggie sent that they never even opened?
31:22For calling me toad until I actually believed I had to hide my face from the world?
31:26Violet, I was wrong.
31:29Just give me one chance to prove it.
31:31I looked at the roses.
31:33Then at the people who'd only realized my worth after the rest of the world did.
31:38You didn't want Violet.
31:39You just wanted the girl everyone else wanted.
31:41And that girl doesn't belong to any of you.
31:43For the first time, I didn't feel like I was leaving anything behind.
31:48I felt like I was finally walking toward my own future.
31:57Maggie.
31:58The moment I answered, I heard her voice.
32:00Sweetheart, are you okay?
32:02After the awards, the cameras, the roses, and the applause, that was what she asked me.
32:08Not if I'd won.
32:09Not if the world knew my name.
32:11Just if I was okay.
32:13I am now, Maggie.
32:15Good.
32:16You've had a long night.
32:17But, Grandma, they know now.
32:20There was a quiet pause.
32:22I know.
32:23But they should have known from the start.
32:25You were Violet long before any of them called you beautiful.
32:29You were Violet when you cried too loud.
32:31And when nobody came for you.
32:33And you'll still be Violet after all this noise dies down.
32:36The world was waiting.
32:38But I pressed the phone closer to my ear.
32:40Thank you for choosing me.
32:42I didn't choose you, sweetheart.
32:45I loved you.
32:46The tears finally fell.
32:48Not because I was hurt, but because I was done begging people who had failed me to be my family.
32:53I already had one.
32:56They called me Toad.
32:57Maggie called me Violet.
32:59And that was enough.
33:02When I walked out of the dressing room, they were waiting for me.
33:05My parents and Ethan stood blocking the backstage exit.
33:08Their faces were desperate.
33:10Violet, be reasonable.
33:12We gave you that voice.
33:13With the Hayes name behind you, you'll own Hollywood.
33:16Exactly.
33:17You're our flesh and blood.
33:18We can give you the best team in the industry.
33:20Violet, that childhood engagement is still valid.
33:22My parents still want you.
33:24I want you.
33:25Just get in my car and let's talk.
33:27They actually thought I was still that quiet girl hiding behind a mask, waiting for someone to claim her.
33:33I'm never going to marry you, Ethan.
33:35You don't want me.
33:36You just want a beautiful face to show off.
33:40And you two don't want a daughter.
33:42You just want another trophy to show off to the press.
33:47Keep your money and keep your connections.
33:50I made it this far without you and I certainly don't need you now.
33:54The cool night air hit my face.
33:56Outside, a swarm of reporters raised their cameras, shouting my name.
34:01I didn't lower my head.
34:02I didn't reach for a mask.
34:04They could keep their regrets.
34:06I was going home to Maggie.
34:07I was going home to Maggie.
34:07I was going home to Maggie.
34:08I was going home to Maggie.
