My Three Brothers Let Me Die

Short filmTranscript
00:00Chloe, the fake heiress, falsely accused me of pushing her down the stairs.
00:04My three brothers mercilessly locked me in the underground wine cellar.
00:07Suffering from claustrophobia, I could barely breathe in the darkness.
00:10I pounded on the iron door, begging them to at least leave me a light.
00:14The small six-inch vent on the iron door finally opened,
00:17revealing the cold face of my oldest brother.
00:19It's bad enough that you bully Chloe all the time,
00:22but now you want to push her to her death?
00:23Lucas also spoke with disappointment.
00:26You really need to reflect.
00:27But, viciousness shouldn't be the motto of a Harrington daughter.
00:30My third brother kept urging them.
00:32Come on Lucas, let's take Chloe to the hospital.
00:34Stop wasting time on that witch.
00:36He was known as Wildfire on Ice, the captain of the Kingston City hockey team,
00:40and he always directed all his fiery temper at me.
00:43I didn't understand what made me so vicious.
00:45The cold from the floor seeped into my body.
00:47Ever since my parents brought me home a year ago,
00:49I had made them coffee and hand-washed their socks every single day.
00:53I had also endured Chloe's bullying in silence.
00:55I never heard her.
00:57Never.
00:59My tears flowed in the darkness.
01:01At my most suffocated moment, I smelled something burning.
01:04A short circuit in the wine cabinet had started a fire.
01:07Flames quickly engulfed the entire cellar.
01:10I struggled and screamed, but there was no way out.
01:13When they returned after having a candlelight dinner with Chloe,
01:16they saw the burned basement and finally remembered me.
01:18But they didn't know.
01:20I was already dead inside the cellar.
01:24In my final moment before closing my eyes,
01:27Chloe's beautiful yet venomous face appeared before me.
01:29Five hours earlier, I had been wearing an evening gown,
01:32about to go downstairs, when Chloe came up to me with a smile.
01:35You think you deserve to stand next to Alex?
01:38I'll send you straight to hell.
01:40Her words were like a demon's whisper.
01:42Before I could understand, she suddenly leaned backward and fell down the stairs.
01:46My three brothers heard the noise and rushed over.
01:49Chloe threw herself into Lucas' arms, sobbing.
01:54I don't know why.
01:55Olivia suddenly said that from now on Alex only has her as a sister,
01:59and then she pushed me down the stairs.
02:00I never spoke to you!
02:02You did it yourself!
02:02Enough, Olivia!
02:04You think just because Alex decided to take you to the gala,
02:06he's acknowledged you?
02:07That doesn't mean you can try to kill someone so soon.
02:12Alex, my oldest brother, looked at me coldly.
02:15I thought you had changed.
02:17Instead, you only pretended to be kind to commit even worse crimes.
02:22My heart shattered into pieces.
02:24A month ago, his company faced a financial crisis.
02:28I gave him all the money our parents left me to help him through.
02:31To thank me, he said he would only bring me to tonight's charity gala.
02:35Olivia, wanting us three to acknowledge you as our real sister requires more than just blood.
02:42We aren't as shallow as mom and dad.
02:44We value character.
02:46I gripped the railing tightly.
02:48She really fell by herself.
02:50Sister, I've been begging you to accept me.
02:53Why are you trying to kill me?
02:55Alex picked Chloe up tenderly, not even glancing at me.
02:58You don't need her acceptance.
03:00In our hearts, you are the real sister.
03:03I clutched my chest in pain.
03:06Noah quickly ran upstairs.
03:08Now that Alex isn't protecting you, it's time to pay the price.
03:12He pushed me down the stairs.
03:14I heard the sound of my shinbone snap.
03:16I had developed osteoporosis from chronic malnutrition.
03:20Noah dragged me toward the basement, saying he would lock me up for a month.
03:24Until you're willing to sincerely apologize to Chloe.
03:26I had gotten lost at age four.
03:28After searching for me in vain, my parents adopted Chloe from an orphanage, a girl just
03:32a few months younger, to ease the pain of losing me.
03:35For 15 years, my brothers poured all their love into her.
03:39You are our real little sister.
03:41Chloe received the best education and lived like a wealthy heiress.
03:49The first time I came home a year ago, I walked in to find my three brothers surrounding her
03:53in a sea of flowers, showering her with luxury gifts piled almost to the ceiling of the living
03:57room for her birthday.
03:59They couldn't accept me, the country girl.
04:02Noah even questioned whether my parents had the wrong person.
04:05I've already done three DNA tests.
04:09Just look at her face.
04:10My father, Raymond Harrington, recognized me the moment he saw me.
04:14Only after I insisted did my parents reluctantly arrange DNA tests with three different companies.
04:19Only when the results were conclusive did I agree to go home with them.
04:22For 15 years, I lived with an alcoholic, stayed in orphanages, roamed the streets, and was
04:27eventually adopted by farmers in South America.
04:30After they died, I worked and studied alone.
04:33When I came back here holding my parents' hands, I had hoped to find the warmth of a family
04:36and my brother's love.
04:37I never imagined they would eventually throw me into a fire.
04:42As I breathed my last breath, I heard Alex's voice.
04:45Of course, nothing is more important than my sister.
04:48Wait.
04:49What's going on?
04:50I'm so sorry, sir.
04:52I drove to the farm to buy ox bones for Miss Chloe.
04:54You said only Maple Ridge Farms would do.
04:55And by the time I got back, the fire had already spread this far.
04:58The firefighters are on their way.
05:01So much smoke.
05:02You should have called us sooner.
05:03We could have taken Chloe on a trip instead.
05:05Noah grumbled and started to leave.
05:07Just then, a fire truck pulled into the yard.
05:12In the storage room next to the cellar, there are some of our parents' belongings.
05:16I thought of how, before my soul left my body, when I heard his voice, I had fantasized about
05:21him rushing into the fire to save me.
05:22But he had already forgotten me.
05:25Oh my god!
05:26My new mannequins are still in the wine cellar!
05:29She was passionate about fashion design and often spent tens of thousands of dollars on
05:32mannequins.
05:33When I fell in the fire, one of those mannequins had fallen on my head.
05:37Alex put his arm around her.
05:40I'll buy you new ones.
05:41That's just a few tennies of thousands of dollars.
05:44But my wine collection, it's worth millions.
05:48I'm still in the wine cellar.
05:51At least save my body.
05:53Poor mom and dad's things.
05:55If only Olivia hadn't been so difficult.
05:57Wait!
05:58Is Olivia still in the wine cellar?
06:01My other two brothers also stopped and looked at each other.
06:04Has anyone seen her?
06:05Didn't you let her out when the fire started?
06:07We were all in the dining room together, remember?
06:11But that witch always finds a way.
06:13She must have already escaped.
06:14She might pretend to be injured later to get our sympathy, but she's long gone.
06:18She probably didn't even inhale any smoke.
06:21But don't think this will let her avoid apologizing to Chloe.
06:24Even if she really burned to death, I'd make her soul kneel and confess.
06:29Just ignore her when she comes begging.
06:32Unless we teach her a real lesson, she won't change.
06:37This isn't the first time she's hurt Chloe.
06:39Chloe had previously framed me, cutting her own hand with a steak knife, tearing up her
06:43useless design sketches and blaming me.
06:45Putting almond powder in her own milk and accusing me.
06:48They always believed it was me.
06:50But she is still our sister.
06:51A hint of kindness in his melancholic eyes.
06:53If we ignore her for a year or two, she'll come around on her own.
06:56I'll have my secretary cancel her credit cards.
06:58It won't be long before she kneels and apologizes to Chloe.
07:01Just then, a firefighter's shout broke the silence.
07:04There's a body here!
07:07Are those my mannequins?
07:09Could any of them be salvaged?
07:12I'd like to save the family some money.
07:14Don't worry about a few tens of thousands.
07:16If there are any not completely burned, you could take pictures for my sister.
07:20She's attached to those mannequins.
07:21They're all completely charged.
07:22But one of them is unusually heavy.
07:25We suspect it might be a real person.
07:27Alex's brow furrowed.
07:28Years of business acumen made him quickly head toward the fire scene.
07:32My other two brothers also realized the problem and rushed to the cellar.
07:35Maybe they still cared about me, right?
07:37Six burned human-shaped objects were carried out, including my body.
07:42My three brothers instinctively covered their noses and mouths, stalking far away.
07:46Noah asked, his face buried in his elbow.
07:48Chloe, how many mannequins did you have?
07:51A flicker of fear crossed Chloe's eyes.
07:54Six?
07:54No, she only had five mannequins.
07:57When the fire lit up the cellar, I had seen them clearly, leaning against the wall opposite me.
08:03That's fine.
08:04We're sure these are all plastic mannequins.
08:06Take them to the dump, they stink.
08:08Alex called Grace and told her to hire workers to take all the debris to the landfill.
08:11No, you can't do this to me.
08:15I wanted to be buried with my parents.
08:19After giving their orders, they turned and left without a backward glance.
08:23My soul chased after them.
08:25I wanted to stop them and demand answers.
08:28Olivia is really smart.
08:29As soon as something happens at home she hides.
08:32Just wait, I'll teach her a lesson.
08:34They drove away.
08:35I followed my corpse to the landfill outside the city.
08:38Then I saw my father's Apple Watch.
08:40It hadn't been completely destroyed.
08:42The doctor had said my father's liver cancer was caught early and could be treated.
08:46But on the night my mother died of lung cancer, he lay down beside her bed and took his own
08:50life.
08:51Alex had suspected he was murdered by an enemy.
08:53But that night only Chloe and my father had been at my mother's bedside.
08:56Detective Harper, after investigating my father's other relationships,
09:00had concluded there were no suspects.
09:02I thought of the look Detective Harper had given me when she left the villa.
09:05My soul drifted toward her house.
09:07I kept knocking on her window.
09:09She opened it several times but saw no one.
09:12The clever detective immediately thought to search today's news about Kingston City.
09:16When she saw the story about the Harrington Mansion fire,
09:19she zeroed in on those charred human-shaped objects.
09:22Before dawn, she arrived at the Harrington estate.
09:24She presented an arrest warrant to Chloe and informed the three brothers they were suspected of manslaughter.
09:29We believe Chloe is involved in Raymond's death.
09:32And you three are suspected of burning Olivia to death.
09:38Detective Harper, you need evidence.
09:41I've told you, Chloe could never have hurt Raymond and we certainly had no reason to burn Olivia.
09:50We found her body at the Kingston County landfill.
09:53Alex's expression froze.
09:59Grace, where did you tell the workers to take those mannequins?
10:03The, the Kingston County landfill?
10:06The devastating truth hit Alex like a blow.
10:08I saw his face turn pale, fear in his eyes.
10:12No, no.
10:14That's impossible.
10:16Those were just my mannequins.
10:17Are you sure you didn't miscount?
10:20No, no.
10:23How many were there?
10:25Six.
10:27Six.
10:28I remember six.
10:30We can get to that later.
10:32Chloe in an Apple Watch found at the landfill.
10:34We recovered evidence Raymond recorded just before he died.
10:44He forced me.
10:46He said he'd found his real daughter and was going to send me away.
10:51He had cancer anyway.
10:53He was going to die sooner or later.
10:55My three brothers couldn't accept the truth.
10:58They insisted on seeing the video evidence.
11:00Detective Harper took them to the station and, after showing them the clear footage, detained them.
11:09Even if the fire was an accident, you are also suspected of dediscrating Olivia's body.
11:15After the investigation, you will receive a fair verdict.
11:20They had no fight left.
11:21In an instant, the mouth that had been so quick to scold and punish me fell silent.
11:27It was already bright outside, yet my soul lingered.
11:30I followed them into the holding cell.
11:33Long silence.
11:34The three brothers curled up.
11:36Noah wept.
11:37Alex still tried to rationalize.
11:39No, that's impossible.
11:41This must be another one of Olivia's schemes.
11:44She's terrifyingly smart.
11:49When my company had problems, none of you noticed.
11:52But she saw my mood and gave me $30 million to invest.
11:56How could someone so cunning just let herself die?
11:59And anyway, we only planned to lock her up for a few days and then let her out, didn't we?
12:03Right, I just locked the door.
12:05But it was a door.
12:07How could she not open it?
12:09The way they were panicking now, you'd think they really loved me.
12:15My soul sat on the cold floor of the prison.
12:18Someday I would leave, but they seemed destined to be locked up here forever.
12:23Officer!
12:24Officer!
12:25We want an autopsy!
12:27Lucas also recovered from despair, insisting that Detective Harper had made a mistake.
12:32Just then, Detective Harper came over.
12:34I was just about to see you.
12:36This is Olivia's phone, recovered from the scene.
12:39That phone, my only hope is I lay dying.
12:42They borrowed a charger from the detective.
12:44When my phone powered on, several unsent messages appeared on the screen.
12:48This might tell us where she went.
12:50She must be trying to tell us she's safe.
12:53Alex opened them with trembling fingers.
12:56See?
12:57She's somewhere enjoying herself right now.
13:04Alex, I'm sorry.
13:06Please let me out.
13:06I can't breathe.
13:08I'll never do it again, Noah.
13:10Please just open the vent.
13:13I'll kneel and apologize to Chloe.
13:16I'll do anything you ask.
13:20Alex, I don't want to die.
13:23Please let me out.
13:24My phone was my only hope, but none of the messages went through.
13:28Then the wine cabinet caught fire.
13:30The flame seared my body.
13:35Lucas, please let me live.
13:37I know you hate me.
13:39I won't ever dare hope for your love again.
13:42I was just begging you to let me live.
13:45My soul wept.
13:47But they could no longer hear me.
13:50Alex threw the phone aside.
13:52No!
13:52Those voices must be AI generated!
14:05They had dropped everything just to appease Chloe, buying her expensive jewelry and bags,
14:09even making silly faces to amuse her.
14:11They had no idea that while they were doing that, I was suffering in the flames.
14:15We have to get out.
14:17His secretary, Leon, arranged for them to be released on bail, or rather, to cooperate with the investigation while being
14:24released temporarily.
14:26Detective Harper warned them.
14:27Once we finish gathering evidence, you'll be back.
14:31Enjoy your last few hours of freedom.
14:33I didn't know why my soul still hadn't departed.
14:38They went back to the Harrington Mansion first.
14:41I wasn't there.
14:42Noah thought I must be very angry.
14:44He suggested buying gifts before looking for me.
14:47They tried to think of what I liked.
14:49Alex remembered.
14:50Once I saw her eating daisies in the garden.
14:53She must like them.
14:54But he didn't know I was just starving that day,
14:56because I had accidentally put a few extra milligrams of sugar in Chloe's coffee.
15:00One day of fasting will help you reflect on your crime.
15:04Or you'll never appreciate the value of food.
15:07As Noah said that, Chloe was pouring the coffee down the sink.
15:10Now he suddenly remembered that moment and felt very stupid.
15:14When we find Olivia, we'll take her to the prison to see Chloe.
15:17She should deal with Chloe herself.
15:19They filled Noah's red sports car with daisies and drove to my school.
15:22But they were told that both Chloe and I had been absent for two days.
15:28Isn't Chloe your sister?
15:30Why are you suddenly asking about Olivia?
15:33My teacher Hannah still remembered how my three brothers had come to school
15:36and made me bow and apologize just because
15:37Chloe had accidentally stained her new dress with my spilled ink.
15:41Chloe isn't our sister.
15:43Olivia is.
15:44Please tell us where Olivia is.
15:46Hannah truly didn't know where I was.
15:48She sighed and told Alex about how Chloe had bullied me at school.
15:52She had put gummy candy on my seat,
15:54poured water over my head in the bathroom,
15:56and gotten male classmates to take photos of my wet uniform.
15:59I only knew her parents were dead.
16:02I never imagined she had three brothers alive.
16:06Hannah's words shattered them.
16:09What have we done to her all this time?
16:12We're monsters.
16:14Noah slammed his fist on his car.
16:16Damn Chloe!
16:18She tricked us!
16:20My soul let out a sigh.
16:21If love has a shelf life,
16:23I wish hatred did too.
16:24Maybe when I finally stopped hating them,
16:27my soul would be able to leave.
16:28I wanted to start a new life.
16:31Maybe what Olivia wants isn't gifts.
16:34Maybe she wants us to punish Chloe for hurting her.
16:37And Chloe deceived us for years and killed our father.
16:40We can't let her hide behind bars for the rest of her life.
16:43I shouted at them.
16:45Leave it to the law!
16:46They still couldn't hear me.
16:48Later that night,
16:49Alex actually had Chloe brought back to the Harrington mansion.
16:52In the dark moonlight,
16:53they put her on trial for all her crimes.
16:55She confessed to everything she had done to me and to Raymond.
16:59My brothers discussed how to punish her so that I might return.
17:04Stop deluding yourselves.
17:06Olivia's dead.
17:07I killed her.
17:07There were only five mannequins.
17:09She was the sixth burnt one.
17:12If you had taken just one more step,
17:14you would have seen her half-charred face.
17:15But you didn't!
17:20No!
17:21My sister isn't dead!
17:23You're the one who should die!
17:25I deserve to die.
17:29But what about you?
17:31Was it me who locked her in the wine teller?
17:34Alex collapsed to the floor,
17:35pale and muttering.
17:37No.
17:37No, Olivia isn't dead.
17:39I just wanted to make her behave.
17:41I never meant to kill her.
17:43She's my only real sister.
17:44Noah kicked Chloe furiously.
17:49Even if we locked her in the cellar,
17:50you tricked us.
17:52You tricked us!
17:53You're the one who killed her!
17:55Chloe's laughter grew steadier,
17:57chilling the dark night.
17:58My soul floated above.
17:59Thinking of all the smug smiles she had given me,
18:02I suddenly felt a strange release.
18:03She thought she was so clever,
18:05but she had become a tragedy.
18:06All her scheming,
18:07all her fighting,
18:08and in the end,
18:09she was no better than a ghost.
18:10Such a person wasn't even worth hating.
18:12Her voice echoed through the dark Harrington mansion.
18:15My brothers,
18:16what about before?
18:17Wasn't it you who chose to believe me every single time?
18:20Did I ever ask you to punish her?
18:22Noah broke down,
18:24wailing.
18:25Lucas pounded the floor.
18:26We did it.
18:28We killed her with our own hands!
18:32I'm the one who should die!
18:33Before he finished,
18:34he ran headfirst into the marble pillar in the living room.
18:37My soul instinctively tried to stop him.
18:41Noah and Alex showed no surprise at Lucas's action.
18:44They just stood up and looked at his body.
18:46Once we finish what we need to do,
18:48we'll join you and Olivia.
18:50Alex's sorrowful words ended with a layer of hatred in his blue.
18:53He picked up the chair and began striking Chloe with it.
18:55Noah quickly joined him.
18:57They eventually discarded the chair
18:58and simply beat her with their bare fists.
19:01An hour later,
19:01Chloe took her last breath in despair.
19:03Strangely,
19:04neither Lucas nor I saw Chloe's soul.
19:06Lucas said she might have run away out of fear.
19:08I said I had never intended to seek revenge on her.
19:11Alex and Noah went to the police station to claim my body.
19:14They had me cremated and buried beside our parents.
19:17Then,
19:17before Detective Harper could arrest them,
19:19they took sleeping pills and died beside my grave.
19:25Our four souls met under the rising moon.
19:28For some reason,
19:29my soul began to fade.
19:30I heard a voice from heaven.
19:32Come back, child.
19:34Your next life is beginning.
19:36They begged me for forgiveness,
19:37hoping I would forgive them.
19:39I looked at my three brothers' tormented souls
19:41and smiled with relief.
19:43You've already hurt me.
19:45I can't say the words to forgive you.
19:49I just no longer hate you.
19:51They were all so pitiful.
19:52I didn't want to waste any more hate on people who weren't worth it.
19:55In that moment,
19:55I just wanted peace.
19:57This is when you truly depart.
19:59In your next life,
20:00you will have an incredibly happy one.
20:03I smiled as my soul dissolved.
20:04A beautiful baby girl was born to a loving doctor couple in Arlington City.
20:08It was a brand new life.
