Short filmTranscript
00:00Dad, I'm so happy we get to spend this time together.
00:07You know, after mom died many years ago, I feel like you're always busy with your job.
00:13Yeah, I'm sorry, darling, but, you know, I have to build a business for us.
00:18But you're right, I've been gone for months, and it's just nice to be here with you now.
00:25I love our family time together.
00:28Yeah, me too.
00:37You don't put pressure on your boss!
00:39I swear to God, you don't want to see us when we come back here!
00:43You better fulfill my demands now. I won't accept any delays.
00:47You better listen to us or there will be consequences. I'm telling you, this is your last warning.
01:00What's going on here? Who are you?
01:04That's none of your business. You should tell your father that he should listen to our demands.
01:08Whatever the case may be, you're not allowed to speak to my father like that!
01:12Just don't talk to this man, alright? Just stay out of this.
01:16Why don't you tell this little... your daughter?
01:20She better mind her own business and not meddle in our affairs.
01:29Dad, who is that?
01:31Don't worry about it. I'll handle this, okay? Come back inside.
01:43Katie, just sit.
01:47Dad, who was that?
01:49It's just somebody from the city. It's no big deal.
01:53They looked very intense. What did they want?
01:59Okay, look. I'll tell you, but I need you to promise not to get involved, okay?
02:05I don't want you mixed up in this.
02:07I promise.
02:10He's a very rich, powerful business tycoon.
02:15Somebody very cruel.
02:19What does he want from you?
02:23I don't know. Look, don't worry about it. I'll take care of it.
02:28Okay? It's alright.
02:30I can't believe this. We have to do something!
02:33No, no, no. I need you to stay out of this, okay? I will take care of it.
02:40We have to call the cops. We cannot just ignore this.
02:44Sylvia, just stay out of it. This is not your business.
02:47None of my business! I can't walk away from something like that!
02:52We can't get on the wrong side of a business tycoon. Do you understand that?
02:59What are you hiding, Dad?
03:01I'm not hiding anything. I'm just trying to keep us out of trouble.
03:05What kind of trouble? What are you telling me?
03:10Sylvia, I need you to just trust me on this. I will take care of it.
03:17It's important to me.
03:19Sylvia, for the last time, drop it. I'll take care of it.
03:27Fine.
03:35Move up. Up.
03:57Move up. Up.
04:05What do you want from me? Let me go!
04:07No, you're not going anywhere, Sylvia.
04:10My dad is going to be worried about me. Let me go.
04:12You're not going anywhere until your dad and my boss have a conversation.
04:19Hello, boss? Yeah. I've got Sylvia, just as you ordered.
04:25Good. And keep her there until I order her to be freed.
04:29Yes, sir.
04:32Please, let me go. I want to go home.
04:36You can't go home, Sylvia. Not until your father and my boss have a conversation.
04:41This is kidnapping. Let me go.
04:45My father will not spare you for this. The cops will arrive at any minute now.
04:50Kidnapping? Please, you have to be joking.
04:53You think that your father and the cops are going to be able to break into a place like this?
04:57You know, the residence of the city's most powerful man?
05:01You should be lucky to be even in a place like this.
05:05What do you mean? Who is he? What does he want from me?
05:10He doesn't want anything from you, Sylvia. He wants something from your father.
05:15Why did he kidnap me then?
05:18Relax. After they have a conversation about this, it'll all be over.
05:23And then you can go home.
05:27I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
05:30I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
05:33I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
05:36I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
05:39I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
05:42I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
05:45Hello? Who is this?
05:47Hello? Who is this?
05:49Nicholas, it's Richard. I hope you understand the seriousness of my demand.
05:53I need you to fulfill it if you want to see your daughter again.
05:57Please, Mr. Johnson, spare my daughter. I will do whatever you ask.
06:02Just, I need some time.
06:04I've given you more than enough time.
06:06You need to get the evidence to me as soon as possible.
06:09Or your daughter will have to pay for your recklessness.
06:12You don't want that, do you?
06:15Mr. Johnson, look, I love my daughter. She's completely innocent.
06:20Don't hurt her. I will follow your instructions. Whatever you want.
06:25Excellent. And you better keep your words.
06:46I hope Nicholas learned his lesson.
06:48Yes, sir.
06:49And if he hasn't, we can always use his daughter to torture him.
06:53Yes, but John, make sure Sylvia has everything she needs here.
06:57But if Nicholas tries to fool us, I won't hesitate to harm her.
07:03Yes, sir. I'll make sure she has everything she needs.
07:06Count on you.
07:14What's the password?
07:18I don't know.
07:27Sylvia, I have food for you.
07:30No. I just want to go home. Please, let me go.
07:35No, Sylvia, you can't go home.
07:39Fine. If you don't allow me to go, you will have to face the consequences.
07:49Don't act smart, Sylvia. It's pointless to resist now. Eat!
07:56Please, just let me go. I want to go home.
08:05What is going on here? What's with all the noise?
08:09Mrs. Johnson, this is Sylvia. Richard asked me to take care of her.
08:14Yes, I know who she is. Richard told me about the matter.
08:17But what is the problem here? Why is there fighting?
08:21She won't eat, Mrs. Johnson.
08:24Oh, you poor girl. You must be terrified.
08:29Honey, we are going to take good care of you. I promise no harm will come to you.
08:38Oh, my dear child, don't cry.
08:41If you don't feel comfortable here, then you come with me. Come on.
08:46But Mrs. Johnson, Richard asked me to take care of her.
08:50I don't want to hear one more word out of you.
08:53You tell Richard that I took Sylvia up to my room.
08:58Yes, ma'am.
09:00Come, child.
09:08Great.
09:11So, this is the room that you can stay in. I hope that you find it to be quite comfortable.
09:18It looks very nice, Mrs. Johnson. Thank you so much.
09:22You're welcome, honey.
09:40He's...
09:42Um...
09:44What...
09:46What is this photograph doing here?
09:50What's the matter?
09:52I don't understand what's wrong.
10:01What the hell are you doing here?
10:03Richard, is it really you?
10:06John! Joe, where are you? Come here!
10:08Yes, sir. What the hell is she doing here?
10:10I was pretty clear. Keep her in the guest house.
10:12Yes, sir.
10:14Ricky, stop yelling at him. I brought her up here.
10:19She was terrified and alone in that guest house, so I brought her here.
10:23And I know you won't disregard my decision.
10:28Yeah, of course, Mom. Just be careful with her, all right?
10:32She's a stranger. Don't believe everything she says.
10:35Oh, come on, Ricky. I'm an excellent judge of character, and she's obviously an innocent girl.
10:42Oh, I'm not really sure.
10:45Ricky.
10:47Hey, don't call me that. Only my mom is allowed to call me Ricky.
10:51Why are you acting like you don't know me?
10:53What are you talking about? I do not know you. It's the first time I meet you. Stop talking nonsense.
11:00Sylvia, I think you have him confused with someone else.
11:03Who exactly?
11:04No.
11:07Are you trying to prank me? Stop this. This is not funny.
11:11Have you gone crazy because I kept you here? Do you understand the words coming out of my mouth?
11:15I do not know you.
11:17Okay, stop this senseless arguing.
11:20Ricky, please leave.
11:35Sylvia, do you really know Ricky?
11:39Yes. We went to college together.
11:43And we shared a close friendship.
11:48And now, five years later, we meet again.
11:53Sorry to be the one to tell you this, but Ricky doesn't remember anything from his past.
11:59Why? What happened?
12:01Well, five years ago, he had a terrible accident and suffered severe head injuries, which left him without any of his memories.
12:13Anyway, come with me, darling. Let me show you to your room.
12:16Let's go to your room.
12:31I'm so sorry, sweetheart.
12:39I'm going to get you back. I'm going to fix this.
12:46Yeah.
12:52Okay, let's go.
12:58Who is this?
12:59Mr. Johnson, this is Nicholas.
13:02And what's the news? Did you get what I asked for?
13:05I have what you need. I'll meet you at the cafe in an hour.
13:10Excellent. I will be there.
13:16Okay.
13:37Give me the documents. I have to check them first.
13:41I will give you the documents if you promise to free my daughter.
13:45Of course, I will do that. Now give me the files.
14:01What kind of bullshit is that? It's not enough!
14:05It's what you wanted. Why are you acting like this?
14:09What the hell is that, I'm asking you?
14:11Don't you ever try to fool me with that shit again.
14:15I wanted you to get the evidence. It's only the half!
14:19Okay, and you know that. Don't you ever call me before you complete the work.
14:24Don't waste my time, Nicholas!
14:27I'm sorry. Look, I just... I need more time, okay? I'll get you the documents.
14:33More time. Sure.
14:35Then you won't see your daughter for a little bit more time.
14:38One more time. Please, just let me know she's okay. I need to talk to her. Please.
14:45Come on.
14:49Alright. When I get home, I'll have her call you.
14:58Bullshit is that.
15:09Are you freaking blind or what? Where are you going, Sylvia?
15:13I'm sorry, Richard. It was an accident.
15:16Accident? This is the last damn thing I wanted today!
15:20I didn't mean to ruin your day. Please, calm down.
15:24Calm down?
15:27Not again.
15:29Are you okay?
15:33It's me, Sylvia.
15:36It's me, Sylvia.
15:39Don't touch me and stop your brainwashing! I know for a fact that we don't know each other!
15:44I said that earlier.
15:47Let me help you!
15:54Have some water. Just... okay.
15:56No, no, no! Don't touch me!
15:59Shut the fuck up. Your mumbling just makes it worse!
16:02I don't want to see you. Get out of my way!
16:06What's going on, dear?
16:09Why is Richard so upset?
16:14It's complicated, Mrs. Johnson.
16:18I think something triggered his memory and...
16:24He's just angry. He won't talk about it.
16:31It's complicated, Mrs. Johnson.
16:35Sometimes the past has a funny way of catching up with us.
16:40Maybe you should give him some space right now.
16:42But don't give up on him completely.
16:46I can see in your eyes you genuinely care about him.
16:51Mrs. Johnson, I should have told you everything from the beginning.
16:57Should have told me what?
17:00Richard and I met in college and we were friends at first.
17:10But later we fell in love.
17:13And one day in the college corridor he kneeled on one knee with the rose in his hand
17:23and proposed to me in front of everyone.
17:26And... I was so happy.
17:33But the next day he disappeared.
17:39I couldn't find him since then.
17:44But then somehow yesterday we met here again.
17:51And it's heartbreaking that he can't remember me.
18:00My dear girl, you are the one he was in love with. I had no idea.
18:07He used to talk about you all the time, but he never showed me a photograph or told me your name.
18:14He used to say, when the timing is right, Mom, I will introduce you to the love of my life.
18:23He doesn't remember me anymore. What should I do?
18:28Honey, do not give up hope. If there is anyone that can help him bring back his memories, it's you.
18:35You think so?
18:37Yes, I do. And I will do whatever I can to help you.
18:40Thank you, Mrs. Johnson.
19:04Hello?
19:06Did you forget what you were asked to do?
19:08Did you forget what you were asked to do? Or do you not want to have your daughter back?
19:13No, no, no. I know what I need to do. I just need more time.
19:18Fine. You better keep that in mind.
19:39Hello, is this Alex?
19:42Yep. What do you want?
19:44I need you to do something for me. I will pay you whatever you want, but I need you to kill someone for me.
19:50Alright. Who's the unlucky person?
19:53His name is Richard Johnson.
19:55What? What did you say? I can't do that.
19:59Oh.
20:06Oh.
20:08Oh.
20:10Yeah.
20:36Hello? Who is this?
20:39Mr. Richard, I am Alex, a hitman. We need to talk.
20:44What's going on?
20:47It's serious. Nicholas wants me to shoot you. I can't go through with it, man.
20:52What? Are you serious?
20:55You need to know. I had to warn you.
20:57Okay. Thanks, Alex. Thanks for telling me. I owe you one.
21:06Nicholas.
21:09Hello?
21:19Hello?
21:21Richard?
21:23What's the matter?
21:25You're crossing the line, Nicholas. Do you think I can accept this?
21:29What are you talking about?
21:31To that fool. You tried to hire Alex to kill me.
21:35Bad. Very bad move.
21:39You can't prove anything.
21:41I don't need proof. If anything happens to me, everyone will know who's behind it.
21:47You're trying to play a very dangerous game, Nicholas.
21:50And you're trying to play with your daughter in my hands.
21:53No. Look. I'm sorry. I messed up. But I didn't know what to do.
21:58You wouldn't let me talk to her. And I screwed up.
22:01Now you can forget about your daughter.
22:03I won't spare you.
22:05No, your daughter.
22:09I'm sorry.
22:40This one is a classic. You should read it.
22:46I might just do that.
22:55Sylvia? What are you doing here? Is everything okay?
22:59I'm sorry.
23:01I'm sorry.
23:03I'm sorry.
23:05I'm sorry.
23:06Sylvia? What are you doing here? Is everything okay?
23:13I was just lost in thought. Sorry.
23:18Lost in thought. So you're either crazy or a creep, aren't you?
23:23What are you doing there? Standing laughing like an idiot?
23:26Richard. Don't be so mean.
23:30Don't want me to be so mean? Then leave this room.
23:33I'm working here and you are distracting me.
23:36Leave.
23:45Coming.
23:47You were invited to a meeting by the Blackthorne lawyers.
23:53In the event of my death, all wealth belonging to me will only be inherited by one of my sons.
23:59Under the condition that he marries a woman of humble background within six months.
24:03You mean you agreed to sell me like a cheap pimp?
24:09You look me in the eye and you tell me that you are fulfilled with everything that you have.
24:14You must be the all important Miss Harris.
24:17And everything you don't have.
24:19I don't see the both of us getting married to her.
24:21And that you never had a thought that your life would be much easier if you had me.
24:33You
25:04You
25:15Can you just get to the point? I'm missing an important meeting.
25:18I understand, but I can't commence the reading of your father's will without your brother here.
25:26What the actual fuck? It's noon and you're drunk already.
25:30Hello, Frankie.
25:32Jack boy.
25:36Let's get decided, shall we?
25:41Your father's last will and testament, read before his two sons as stipulated.
25:47In the event of my death, all wealth belonging to me, including cash, properties, shares and stocks, will only be inherited by one of my sons.
25:56Under the condition that he marries a woman of humble background within six months.
26:02Bullshit. We all know it.
26:05This is your father's updated will. He was of sound mind when it was revised.
26:09Revised? When?
26:12A few weeks before his death. I assure you these are his true wishes.
26:16If you'll please get seated, son.
26:18Fuck off, you fucking son.
26:20Take your fucking seat, Jack.
26:22It seems there's more we need to hear.
26:26That woman has already been chosen by me. Evangeline Harris.
26:30She's the daughter of Anna Harris, the woman who nursed and cared for me when I was ill.
26:35By all accounts, she's a good, decent woman.
26:37I realize that this stipulation might seem unusual, but to my disappointment, you have both grown overly arrogant and dismissive of those you consider to be inferior to you in both social standing and in wealth.
26:48My hope is that it will teach you to sustain a healthy relationship regardless of class or status.
26:52I pray that everything gets resolved with fairness, love, and kindness.
26:59This makes no sense at all.
27:02Marrying a stranger?
27:04How do we even get in touch with this woman? Evangeline...
27:07Evangeline Harris. Your father has included contact details for both her and her mother, so getting in touch with her won't be an issue.
27:15You seem a little bit composed, brother. Something you'd like to tell me?
27:19I beg your pardon?
27:21You seem a little calm the whole way. A little too well. It's almost like as if you already knew what was happening.
27:27Please tell me that's a joke. I'm concerned about how to get to the bottom of this, and you're concerned that I'm just not falling apart.
27:34You were here before me. God knows for how long.
27:38Yeah, because I understand punctuality. Unlike you. You chose to be late, as usual.
27:46So don't forget that you're daddy's little favourite, eh? Who knows what else he gave you little hints about the will, hmm?
27:53For fuck's sake, Jack. Don't start this shit now. We need to be working together, not taking stabs at each other.
28:01Okay. Whatever you say, dearest brother. But we all know the truth, and that always will come out in the end.
28:08Oh, come on, Jack. Don't be such a child. Dad would want us to work as a team, no matter what.
28:15Good thing he's not here anymore, huh?
28:37Hey. This is the hundredth voicemail I've left you. Call me when you get this one.
29:07Tony boy! How you been looking for me?
29:10Speak of the devil. Where the fuck have you been? I've been trying to contact you for days.
29:16I've been here, there, you know.
29:19No. I don't know. And can you stop playing with that? You always make a mess of things.
29:24And you're always trying to control things. Maybe you should understand how things really work.
29:29What are you talking about? Are you drunk right now? Because you're not making much sense.
29:34Nope. Cerberus or none.
29:35Cerberus or none.
29:37Enough of the cryptic talk. And why are you so late to work if you're not on one of your vendors?
29:42John, John. You always focus on the things that aren't important. Why don't you just live a little?
29:47The things that aren't important? Did you realize that this company didn't die along with Dad? We actually have to keep it alive.
29:55Well, like we have you, then. Hey. Actually, you best be on it. I'm gonna be going. We can do this chat another time.
30:01Where the fuck are you off to now?
30:04You pulled a quick one on me, didn't you?
30:07To think that I was worried about you, only to find out you had been in contact with Evangeline Harris.
30:12Damn, bro. Did you run here?
30:15Hey, easy, tiger. What can I say? I'll work better alone.
30:21Besides, this situation is best man wins. I don't see the both of us getting married to her.
30:26Welcome.
30:29Jack, I see you're here early this time.
30:31Jack, I see you're here early this time.
30:34It's gonna be a bit of a waste of time.
30:36Heads up to my brother, didn't ya?
30:39Actually, I was obligated to share this information with both of you at the same time.
30:43Thank you for informing me, Mr. Frank. God knows if it were up to Jack, I'd still be up at the office.
30:48It's gonna be a waste of time.
30:50Shut up, Jackass.
30:51Miss Harris won't be coming to the meeting, and we all know what that means. Without her...
30:58Nothing can move forward.
31:00Damn it.
31:02Coming!
31:04I'm here, but I don't think I can make it.
31:07I'm sorry, honey.
31:09You can make it!
31:11No, I can't.
31:13I don't want to hear you talk shit about me.
31:16I can't hear you.
31:18I can't hear you.
31:20I can't hear you.
31:22I can't hear you.
31:24I can't hear you.
31:26I can't hear you!
31:28I can't hear you.
31:29Coming!
31:36Mum! What are you doing here?
31:39I had no idea you were stopping by.
31:41Eva, you look a mess. How many times have I told you your appearance matters all the time?
31:52I'm doing housework, Mum. Am I supposed to have a full face of makeup on?
31:55Well, I really don't know why you have to live in such a little shabby place. Surely you can find somewhere better.
32:02Your standards are so high. It's not like I can afford a mansion on the same salary.
32:07And besides, I like it here. It's nice and it's cosy.
32:10Well, that's why life presents you with opportunities and you've got to grab them when they are presented to you.
32:17I guess.
32:18I believe you were invited to a meeting by the Blackthorne's lawyers?
32:24Yeah.
32:25How did you know about that?
32:26Oh, never mind. Why didn't you go?
32:28Because it seemed shady?
32:30I don't know. I've never spoken to that man before.
32:33And I only know the name Blackthorne because you worked for the late Mr Blackthorne.
32:37What on earth do they want with me?
32:39And you just dodged my question. How do you know about that meeting?
32:43Because I set it up.
32:46What do you mean you set it up?
32:48What business do you still have with our family after your patient died?
32:51What's going on, Mum?
32:52Calm down, child. Let me explain.
32:55You see, when Mr Blackthorne neared his end, he kind of started opening up to me and talking about his life,
33:03about his late wife, his two sons Jack and John, fraternal twins.
33:09And you see, he even asked about my life.
33:11That's interesting, but that doesn't quite answer anything.
33:13But you see, when we got talking, we realised that we could possibly help each other.
33:18You see, he realised that his two sons had a bit of a, let's call it a classist issue.
33:24You mean they're pretentious rich boy freaks?
33:26That's not surprising, but what does that have to do with anything?
33:29Well, you see, he hoped for them to have a little bit more empathy and be a little bit less pretentious.
33:36And I said, my daughter actually has the opposite challenge.
33:40She's poor and humble and needed to step up socially.
33:43What? You told him that? About me?
33:47Parents talk about their kids.
33:48You see, I told him that you were fussy about, you know, the men you were dating, lacking in a bit of ambition.
33:54And, you know, Mr Blackthorne was really alone at that time and his two boys were always just too busy to visit him.
34:00He might have been a little muddled at that point.
34:03But anyway, we still came to an agreement.
34:05What sort of agreement, Mum?
34:07Well, he added in his will that one of his sons needed to marry you in order to inherit his wealth.
34:15You can't be serious. You're joking, right?
34:18No, wait. Let me finish. I am serious.
34:23You mean you agreed to sell me like a cheap pimp?
34:29You told that old man that I was a sad loser?
34:33That I would jump at the chance to marry one of his sons?
34:36So what if I don't have a man in my life with many friends?
34:39That's my choice! Mine!
34:42Now, I don't give a damn what you think.
34:44You look me in the eye and you tell me that you are fulfilled with everything that you have.
34:49And I don't give a damn what you think.
34:52I don't give a damn what you think.
34:54You look me in the eye and you tell me that you are fulfilled with everything that you have.
34:59And everything you don't have.
35:01And that you never had a thought that your life would be much easier if you had more.
35:07If you had more money, more status and more opportunities.
35:11Yeah, I thought as much.
35:14I only ever wanted what was good for you.
35:19All the things that I never had in my life growing up.
35:23The things I never achieved.
35:25So it really hurts me when you imply that I want to pimp you out.
35:32What do the sons think about this crazy scheme?
35:34Well, you would have known that if you actually went to the meeting that you refused to go to.
35:40I'm sorry.
35:42But it's to marry a total stranger?
35:44A very wealthy stranger really.
35:47Let's see it as something like speed matchmaking.
35:51It happens everywhere.
35:53They do it on TV reality shows, social media, dating apps.
35:57No one's forcing you to do anything that you don't want to do.
36:00But let's face it.
36:01You won't lose anything by trying at least.
36:04What happens if I don't like the guy and I don't want to go through with the marriage?
36:07Well then the Blackthorn sons will just have to sort it out themselves and work through it.
36:12At that point, at least they've learned just a fraction of the humility that their dad wanted for them.
36:21Well, maybe I'll meet with the sons and see what it's like.
36:24But I can't guarantee anything further than that.
36:32Oh, my sweet Peterson's saved.
36:34Good girl.
36:37John Blackthorn?
36:39Yes.
36:41You must be Miss Harris.
36:43Evangeline is fine. Or Eva, if you'd like.
36:46Eva it is then. I'm John.
36:52I hope it's not too forward of me to say this, but you look exceptionally beautiful.
37:00You literally just took my breath away right now.
37:03You're magnificent.
37:05I'm sorry about ghosting the meeting of your lawyers.
37:09It just came from out of the blue.
37:11I had no idea why my mother's late employer's lawyer would want to meet with me so urgently.
37:16It just happened so fast and I didn't really have much time to think about it.
37:21I just said yes.
37:23So you're aware of the part of my father's will that relates to you?
37:27I had no idea.
37:30I had no idea. It's quite strange.
37:34It's been a bit overwhelming.
37:37Even for me.
37:39For us.
37:43Isn't there supposed to be two of you?
37:45Your attorney said I'm supposed to meet your brother as well.
37:49You must be the all-important Miss Harris.
37:52Speak of the devil.
