Short filmTranscript
00:00I was the heiress from the Upper East Side. He thought I was just some small town girl from Texas.
00:05Five years at Harvard Law. We were in love. Then, he, the law school star canceled our engagement 50 times.
00:1150 times. All for the same woman. This time, the 50th broken promise. On graduation day, I finally gave up.
00:18I decided to leave. The second I walked away, he lost it. Started looking for me everywhere. In front of
00:24the vanity mirror, I put on that wedding dress for the 50th time, though I was 104 degrees in fever.
00:28Dominic walked into the Ph.D. common room. Vivian twisted her ankle. I need to take her to the health
00:33center. The engagement at graduation. We'll reschedule. I promise. 50th time. It's fine. Her ankle can't wait. Go. You're being
00:47so understanding. I'll bring you your favorite junior's cheesecake tonight. Okay.
00:52He turned and left. I watched him carry Vivian out. Vivian looked back and smiled in my direction. He forgot.
00:59I hate cheesecake. He used to keep a note of everything I loved in his phone. Said he'd never forget.
01:04One year later, never was over. I picked up scissors and slashed through the skirt of that dress. The one
01:10I'd worn 50 times.
01:13I pulled out my phone and video called my parents. Dad. Mom. Come get me.
01:20You're finally ready to come home. I looked up at my parents on the video call. They'd given me the
01:25life of an Upper East Side heiress. But I pretended to be ordinary, all for Dominic. He came from nothing.
01:31Hated when anyone brought up background. So for five years, I never told him who I really was.
01:36In those five years, I grew from a regular student into a well-known Harvard Law PhD student. We two
01:41won the highest JD scholarship every year. Schoolmates called us the power couple of Harvard Law. Looking back now? Pathetic.
01:48And ridiculous.
01:49Okay. I'll come home.
01:52Good girl. The family private jet will come get you at your schedule.
01:56The next day, I placed my withdrawal form on Professor Harrison's desk. Dominic walked in with his thesis. He saw
02:03the form and frowned.
02:05You're not staying? Still mad?
02:07I didn't say anything. Just stared at the hickey on his neck. He noticed and covered it instinctively.
02:13It's just a mosquito bite. Don't overthink it.
02:15If you want a vacation, just request time off. Suddenly leaving like this, people will think you have a problem
02:20with Viviana.
02:20I've used up all my leave.
02:23On every single engagement you canceled.
02:30Forget it. Don't say things you don't mean. I'll take you to the River Cafe tonight. Make it up to
02:35you.
02:36Okay. I know.
02:42Dominic, sorry to interrupt your date, but I really need help. I don't get some footnotes in Chapter 3.
02:48Professor Harrison told me to look it up myself, but I've been there for so long.
02:52I walked out of the office and closed the door behind me.
02:55My bracelet slipped off my wrist and hit the marble floor in the hallway.
02:58It shattered. Pieces scattered to Tiffany's feet.
03:02Broke? Don't worry. It's not expensive. Cheap stuff.
03:05Our one-year anniversary gift from Dominic.
03:09Oh. Sorry, I didn't mean...
03:12You're right. Really cheap.
03:14I bent down, picked up the pieces, and dropped them in the trash can at the end of the hallway.
03:20Serena!
03:21I followed Tiffany's gaze and looked back through that big glass window.
03:24Dominic opened a red box and put a bracelet on Vivian's wrist.
03:27Cartier. I knew that one. $10,000.
03:30Eyes met through the glass.
03:33Serena, there's nothing going on between Dominic and me.
03:36This is just a regular bracelet.
03:38You're right. Very regular.
03:41Back in my Upper East Side home, bracelets like that were regular.
03:45He just never knew.
03:46Dominic walked out, frowning.
03:48Serena, don't be ridiculous.
03:49Don't worry. I'm just a little disgusted.
03:53Hours later, my phone rang.
03:55Dominic. He sounded drunk.
03:57Vivian has a stomach ache.
03:59I'm not coming home tonight.
04:00I'll plan the post-graduation dinner.
04:01This engagement will be perfect. I promise.
04:03No one will bother us this time.
04:07Dominic.
04:07This time.
04:08No, there won't be a next time.
04:12Thirty-seven missed calls.
04:14All from Dominic.
04:16I typed.
04:17Sent.
04:18Dominic.
04:19I've left Harvard.
04:20We're done.
04:21Don't contact me again.
04:25Three days later, I finally turned my old phone back on.
04:29Tiffany's call came in right away.
04:31She told me Dominic had been looking for me everywhere after I left.
04:34He went through the trash outside the ADM office,
04:37found the pieces of your bracelet,
04:38squatted there picking them up one by one.
04:40He still thought you were some small-town girl,
04:43said he was going to your hometown to find you.
04:45I told him you're an Upper East Side hairess,
04:48that you hid it all to protect his pride.
04:50Guess what?
04:51His face went white?
04:53Like someone punched him.
04:55Now all Dominic does is try to find you.
04:57And that shameless Vivian?
04:58She finally shut up.
05:00No matter how much Dominic begged, Tiffany never gave him my address.
05:03She even slapped him once, right in front of Harvard Law's landmark building.
05:07He just held his face, head down, mumbling.
05:11Tiffany.
05:12Yeah?
05:13Thank you for that slap.
05:18Congratulations to our little princess.
05:20Three months and you're already a senior researcher.
05:22Go wash your hands.
05:24Dinner's almost ready.
05:24The doorbell rang.
05:27I opened the door.
05:29A man stood outside.
05:31I froze.
05:32It was Dominic.
05:34But he looked different.
05:35He wore a wrinkled shirt and held something in his hand.
05:39Serena.
05:41How did you find me?
05:42I looked for three months and I...
05:44He pulled out the thing in his hand.
05:45It was the bracelet.
05:47Carefully repaired with glue.
05:48Our anniversary gift.
05:50The one you broke.
05:52I got it from the trash.
05:54Fixed it.
05:55Don't bother.
05:56Why don't you give it to Vivian instead?
05:58Then again, you've given her so many designer things,
06:01she probably wouldn't want this cheap thing anyway.
06:03I was wrong.
06:04Just give me one chance.
06:06Okay?
06:08No.
06:09I will never, ever make a fool of myself for that relationship again.
06:13Dominic stubbornly pushed the bracelet into my hand.
06:17Take it.
06:18This was your favorite bracelet.
06:20No strings attached.
06:22I just want you to be happy.
06:28I don't want this stupid thing anymore.
06:39I cherished it back then because I loved you.
06:41Anything you gave me, I treasured.
06:43But now...
06:44I hate you.
06:46Everything that reminds me of you, I don't want to see it.
06:49The door closed in his face.
06:52Who was that?
06:54Through the window, I saw Dominic bend down and search through the trash for the pieces.
06:58Just a salesman.
06:59The next morning, I left for work.
07:01Dominic was leaning against the wall, holding the bracelet pieces.
07:04Like he hadn't slept all night.
07:06Serena!
07:07I didn't look back.
07:08Got in the car and drove away.
07:10He ran after the car.
07:12I know you're still mad!
07:13I can wait!
07:14Wait if you want.
07:15I'm already driving toward a new life.
07:17Upon arrival, the receptionist at the research institute stopped me.
07:21Serena, flowers for you.
07:22Have a good day.
07:23Oh really?
07:23I smiled and checked the card.
07:25Serena, hope you have a good day.
07:28Dominic.
07:28My smile faded.
07:30I looked outside.
07:31Not a good day.
07:34I threw the flowers in the trash.
07:36Next time he sends anything, throw it out for me.
07:39Thanks.
07:40The next day.
07:41Trash it.
07:43Day 3.
07:44Day 4.
07:45Day 5.
07:46Finally, one day, the receptionist told me, the cleaning staff was overwhelmed.
07:50They formally protested.
07:51The next day, I woke up extra early.
07:54Dominic.
07:55He whipped around.
07:56When he saw me, his eyes lit up.
08:00Serena, you're up early?
08:02I walked over, picked up the bouquet, and smashed it in his face.
08:06Petals scattered everywhere.
08:10I was just trying to-
08:11Trying to what?
08:12Make me feel touched?
08:14Make me think you're so devoted?
08:16Dominic, you're not sorry.
08:17You're just bitter.
08:18You're bitter that I walked away.
08:20Bitter that you lost someone who treated you like gold.
08:22But let me tell you something.
08:24I'm not that person anymore.
08:26I know I don't deserve your forgiveness.
08:27I just-
08:29Just want you to be happy.
08:31You want to know the one thing you could do to make me happy?
08:35After making me the punchline 50 times?
08:38Get the hell out of my life.
08:41I thought he'd leave New York after that.
08:43I didn't know he tricked colleagues I was friendly with into helping him ambush me.
08:47When I got to the Institute's lawn, I couldn't believe my eyes.
08:50Dominic.
08:51He'd recreated the exact proposal scene from Harvard's lawn.
08:54Standing at the end of a path covered in rose petals.
08:57Serena?
08:58Will you marry me?
08:59Around us, co-workers started cheering.
09:02Say yes!
09:03Say yes!
09:04My heels sank into the rose petals as I walked toward him, one step at a time.
09:08His eyes were bright.
09:10Certain.
09:11Serena, I know I messed up.
09:13These past three months, I've thought about nothing but-
09:19It echoed across the entire lawn.
09:22Everyone went quiet.
09:24He said he's your boyfriend?
09:25And that you two just-
09:28He said that so you believed him?
09:30Aren't you all legal researchers?
09:33Where's your evidence?
09:34Dominic probably thought if he put together a big enough scene, I'd be moved.
09:38Then forgive him.
09:39You thought if the setting was romantic enough, if you had enough audience around, I'd cave?
09:43You forgot something.
09:45I'm a legal scholar.
09:47The one thing that doesn't work on me is emotional manipulation.
09:50I drove away.
09:51In the rearview mirror, Dominic ran after the car.
09:59The man on the lawn last Saturday was my ex-boyfriend.
10:05We're done.
10:05From today on, I'm not dating anyone.
10:07And I'm not accepting advances from any man.
10:09Someone gasped.
10:10True.
10:11I can vouch for her.
10:14After the meeting, Tiffany caught up with me.
10:17You're really not gonna date ever again?
10:18Nope.
10:20What if someone better comes along?
10:22Then he can go find someone better else.
10:25Dominic is still downstairs.
10:27He can stay there.
10:28Sir, you can't stand here all day.
10:30I'm waiting for her.
10:32Dark fell.
10:33He didn't leave.
10:34I looked down from my office window.
10:36He stood under a street lamp, clutching that repaired bracelet in his hand.
10:39I didn't go downstairs.
10:40I waited for him 50 times at our engagements.
10:43No show.
10:44This time, he could wait a lifetime.
10:46I wasn't coming.
10:50Three months.
10:5112-hour work days, every day.
10:53Tiffany told me to rest.
10:56I wasted five years on a man.
10:58Now I'm making those five years back.
11:01Academic conference.
11:02100 senior researchers in the audience.
11:04I opened my data appendix.
11:06Page by page.
11:07Historical data.
11:08Theoretical models.
11:10Documentary evidence chain.
11:11Project of the year.
11:13Unanimous vote.
11:15I walked out of the lecture hall.
11:17Sunlight hit my face.
11:19My phone rang.
11:20Unknown number.
11:22Serena.
11:23I saw you in an academic journal.
11:25That project, you did amazing.
11:28Yeah.
11:29Are you doing okay?
11:30I looked out the window.
11:31Great.
11:32Better than you.
11:34Hung up.
11:35Blocked.
11:36Deleted.
11:39I started going to court.
11:41Five years.
11:41Case after case.
11:4330 million.
11:4450 million.
11:46100 million.
11:47Lawyer of the year.
11:49Serena Wintock.
11:50Award stage.
11:51Spotlights.
11:52My name engraved on the trophy.
11:54My parents sat in the front row.
11:56Mom wiped away tears.
11:58Applause filled the room.
11:59Tiffany clinked her champagne against mine.
12:02Serena is unstoppable.
12:03I heard her family are investors.
12:05So what?
12:06She's got real talent.
12:08Listening to everyone's praise, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
12:12I really had made it.
12:14After the reception, I went back to my office.
12:17There was a letter on my desk.
12:19No name.
12:20I opened it.
12:21Inside was a newspaper clipping of my winning verdict.
12:24Handwritten next to it, congratulations.
12:27D.
12:27I fed the clipping into the shredder.
12:31After the celebration, my firm forced the overworked me to take time off.
12:35I used the vacation to go everywhere.
12:38Beaches in Hawaii.
12:39California coast.
12:40Kayaking on the Mississippi.
12:42Last stop, I met up with Tiffany.
12:44She asked me to revisit an old place.
12:47Finally got you out here.
12:48Do you still remember this place?
12:50Harvard campus, where I used to study.
12:52On the law school honor wall, my photo as a distinguished alumnus.
12:56After visiting Professor Harrison, we left.
12:59Walking down the hallway.
13:00Past an office.
13:02The name flit on the door said Dominic Black.
13:04Crossed out.
13:05Tiffany glanced at me.
13:06I didn't stop.
13:07Kept walking.
13:08Tiffany grabbed my arm.
13:10A lot happened after you left.
13:11I looked at her.
13:13Go ahead.
13:15Law school coffee shop.
13:17Tiffany poured me a coffee.
13:18Do you know Dominic and Vivian haven't worked here for a long time?
13:22Oh?
13:23He fell apart after you left.
13:25Failed one academic project after another?
13:27Vivian lied and said she was pregnant with his kid.
13:30Sat at home spending his money every day.
13:32Dominic tried to break up with her.
13:34Vivian brought her family to the law school and made a scene.
13:36They forced him to marry her.
13:38He got pushed out of the program.
13:39Sold the house.
13:40Moved back to some small town with Viviana.
13:42Tiffany pulled out her phone.
13:44Showed me a page.
13:45Dominic Black.
13:46A small law firm in some town.
13:47No.
13:48A tiny consulting office.
13:53Is that right?
13:55That's all you have to say?
13:58What else?
13:59Throw a party?
14:02You're right.
14:03Assholes deserve to end up worse and worse.
14:07Tiffany kept telling me the after story of Dominic and Vivian.
14:10They were famous around town, the miserable couple.
14:13They fought constantly.
14:15It hurt Dominic's work.
14:17After his career collapsed, he drank every day.
14:20Once, Dominic got blackout drunk and knelt all night outside my old dorm at Harvard.
14:24Vivian couldn't drag him away.
14:26She just had to let him make a fool of himself.
14:28I lost the only person who ever truly loved me.
14:31What do you think?
14:34Because he never treasured what was with him.
14:40He didn't love me.
14:41He loved the person who loved him.
14:43That person was gone.
14:44So he felt empty.
14:45That's not love.
14:47That's dependency.
14:49You really have changed.
14:51Yeah, for the better.
14:55A current Harvard student walked into the coffee shop.
14:58What are you guys talking about?
15:00This is your friend?
15:02She's gorgeous.
15:04Yeah, this is Sophie.
15:06Want to get to know each other?
15:08Come hang out together.
15:09Sure.
15:10Okay.
15:12Tiffany and Sophie walked ahead, chatting.
15:14I followed behind.
15:18Serena, come on.
15:19Have you been to this place before?
15:22Yeah.
15:23He used to bring me here a lot.
15:25You're still talking about H.E.?
15:28What's wrong with mentioning him?
15:30It's not like it's forbidden.
15:32What's past is past.
15:34The things you can say out loud,
15:36those are the things you've really let go of.
15:38Okay.
15:39Then today we're walking all over this place,
15:41stomping every bad memory into the ground.
15:43With them, I realized
15:44I hadn't thought about him in a long time.
15:47Not because I was trying to forget.
15:49Because there were too many good things in my life.
15:51Those 50 rejections?
15:53I'd left them behind.
15:56The three of us walked down the old street.
15:59Passing a small grocery store,
16:01Tiffany's face changed.
16:03What are you doing here?
16:04A man stood at the entrance.
16:05It was Dominic.
16:07He saw me too.
16:08The bag dropped.
16:09Serena?
16:10Long time no see.
16:12No.
16:14What are you doing here?
16:16Just passing through.
16:17Can I talk to you for a minute?
16:19Just a minute.
16:22She's gone.
16:23Left last year.
16:24Took the kid.
16:25My mom is sick.
16:26Debts piling up.
16:28The consulting firm isn't bringing in much.
16:31I have nothing now.
16:33What do you want me to say?
16:35I don't know.
16:36Do you still hate me?
16:39Dominic, I don't hate you.
16:41And I don't love you anymore.
16:42How you're doing, it's nothing to do with me.
16:45Those five years, do you regret?
16:48No.
16:49Because those five years made me who I am today.
16:51But Dominic, I'm not going back.
16:57He had the nerve to come find you.
16:59That was...
17:00That him?
17:01That jerk?
17:02The one who canceled 50 times?
17:04Now that his life is garbage, he comes crying to you?
17:06Who does he think he is?
17:07He didn't say much.
17:09Just said he's not doing well.
17:11Then why did you even talk to him?
17:13I talked to him.
17:14Then I left.
17:17Have you really let him go?
17:22In the beginning, when I thought about him, it hurt.
17:26Later, when I thought about him, I felt angry.
17:30Now when I think about him, it's like thinking about an acquaintance I haven't seen in a long time.
17:34No pain, no anger, no hope, no regret.
17:38Just nothing to do with me.
17:40Tiffany was quiet for a moment, then raised her glass.
17:46To nothing to do with me.
17:55We were heading on a train trip.
17:57Serena.
17:59I turned around.
18:00Dominic stood a short distance away.
18:02Out of breath.
18:05I fixed it again.
18:07I know you don't want it, but I still wanted to give it to you.
18:11For a long time.
18:14I won't break it this time.
18:16His tears fell.
18:18Not because I still love you.
18:20Because this bracelet is proof that I loved.
18:25I'll keep it.
18:27To remind myself how bravely I loved someone once.
18:31And to remind myself that the cracked can never go back.
18:36Goodbye, Dominic.
18:37I turned.
18:38Didn't look back.
18:41The train pulled out of the station.
18:43I sat by the window and took the scarred bracelet out of my pocket.
18:46Held it up to the light.
18:48Sunlight filtered through the cracks, scattering tiny rainbows.
18:53You're really keeping it?
18:54It broke twice.
18:55Got fixed twice.
18:56Not new anymore, but it carries experience.
18:58And lessons.
18:59People are like that too.
19:02Since when did you get so wise?
19:04Five years with a jerk.
19:06I had to learn something, right?
19:07We both laughed.
19:09The train ride ended.
19:10Before getting off, I took the bracelet out of my pocket.
19:13Took one last look.
19:15Then, I left it by the window.
19:17Turned and walked away.
19:18The bracelet stayed there in the sunset.
19:20Bathed in golden light.
19:22I didn't look back.
19:25After the train, I went back to my Upper East Side mansion.
19:28I walked barefoot on the estate's lawn.
19:30I had dinner with my parents.
19:32Laughed like I meant it.
19:33I clinked glasses with Tiffany at the bar.
19:36Once.
19:37I spent five years loving someone fiercely, 50 times over.
19:4150 times of waiting for a promise that never came.
19:43That woke me up.
19:45Then I learned to love myself.
19:47In the next five years, I focused on my career.
19:50Now I am the rising star of the legal world.
19:52Harvard Law Distinguished Alumni.
19:54I crush it in the courtroom.
19:56Sunset.
19:57Manhattan lights begin to glow.
19:59I walk out of the courthouse.
20:01A limited edition bracelet shines on my wrist.
20:04Catching the city lights.
20:05My phone rings.
20:07Mom, another win today.
20:09I'll be home for dinner soon.
20:10Oh, and the bracelet you gave me today?
20:12It's beautiful.
