Short filmTranscript
00:00We really have to stop meeting like this. It's starting to creep me out.
00:07Get in the car, Em.
00:09Now he was calling her Em? No one had ever called her that. Emma was short enough, but she liked the way he said it.
00:18Give me my bag, please.
00:20It'll take you at least an hour and a half to drive from here to your school. Are you sure you can still make it in time for class?
00:29Someone called you just now.
00:44You answered my phone?
00:46What if it was something urgent?
00:49What did he say?
00:50He just asked who I was. Where you were.
00:54So, how did you answer?
00:56Is it important?
00:58This is my phone. You answered it without my permission. I have every right to be the subject of conversation.
01:05I said I'm your extortion target. Your bag is in my car.
01:11So, you're a boyfriend, right?
01:14Ex-boyfriend.
01:17Did your guy surprise you?
01:18That has nothing to do with you, Mr. Erickson.
01:48Kristen, I want you to move out.
02:02Why? What did I really do wrong? Now that I think of it, Ted only slept with me because you couldn't give him what he wants.
02:11I couldn't give him what he wanted because I'm not a prostitute. I was saving myself for the right time.
02:16Plus?
02:17I am saving myself.
02:19Emma, it's college. We're not all as prude as you.
02:24I definitely wasn't holding him back. I said it already. I don't want Ted anymore. You can keep him.
02:30But this dormitory, as long as I'm here, you need to leave.
02:36Really? You move out then.
02:40My parents already paid for the semester and as far as I'm concerned, you are the one struggling to tutor to pay your dues.
02:49Okay. But you're gonna regret it.
03:19How was the doctor's visit?
03:46Are you following me? Look, I don't know what kind of weird stuff you're into, but I told you already.
03:51I wanted to remind you that apart from just a doctor's appointment, you have one more.
03:59What appointment?
04:00To wash my car, Miss Green.
04:03Um, I'm actually really busy right now. I have midterm coming up and I'm heading to the library. After this, I will come and do the needful.
04:16Okay.
04:38Mr. Erickson, what are you doing here?
04:40Get in the car, Emma.
04:42I'm not sure what made her get in. There was something about him that made you feel you needed to do what he said.
04:48When she saw the corner of his lips curl up, there was a hint of evil in his smile.
05:12Uh, what are we doing here, Mr. Erickson?
05:24I figured my cat isn't within your caliber, so I barred it the job.
05:32What exactly do you want from me?
05:35Just have a meal with me. Isn't that better than cleaning my car?
05:51Today's task is to laugh and eat.
05:54Don't talk nonsense.
05:57Emma found out that they would not be eating alone. They had company. A woman.
06:03Hello, Robert. And, uh, you are?
06:08This is Samuel's tutor. Her name is Miss Green.
06:14Hello. I'm Jennifer Walt.
06:17Well, I used to be Samuel's tutor. I resigned to focus on my thesis. Uh, hi, Miss Walt.
06:25I was afraid I was disturbing you and your other commitments.
06:30You're a nut, but I had to bring Miss Green here because I made an appointment with her first.
06:36You don't mind, do you?
06:38Of course not. The more the merrier.
06:41I just hope Miss Green doesn't mind that I already ordered food according to what you like.
06:46It's just that I don't know what Miss Green likes. I'll just ask someone to come with the menu.
06:52No need, Miss Walt. I'm not picky.
06:56She isn't picky about food. What I like, she likes to eat.
07:02That's good. Miss Green will have more to eat later.
07:10Emma was embarrassed.
07:13During the meal, Robert would occasionally offer her portions of his food.
07:18He was being very gentle, almost like a boyfriend.
07:22Jennifer didn't say much.
07:25However, she would occasionally glance at Emma, but Emma could not recognize any of the emotions in her eyes.
07:32Was Robert asking Emma to be in some part of a threesome?
07:36The way they spoke to each other was odd. Part business, part lover.
07:41But Emma couldn't quite put her finger on it.
07:46Do you mind if I have a chat with Rob for a moment?
07:51No worries.
07:56Shall we go for a walk?
08:12How have you been?
08:14I'm fine.
08:16Don't try to piss me off. I'm not trying to make you feel bad.
08:21I'm not angry at you. I happen to think Miss Green isn't that bad, don't you?
08:27I know you, Robert. You're doing this to make me jealous.
08:31I think you should go back. There'll be a meeting in the afternoon. I still need to drop Emma off at school.
08:51What are you laughing at?
08:54You like Miss Waltz.
08:57Wait. You brought me here to provoke her on purpose, didn't you?
09:01You didn't really have to do that. She obviously has some strong feelings for you as well.
09:05You don't know what you're talking about.
09:08I suggest you refrain from speaking to me out of your place in the future.
09:12Emma watched him with confusion. In the future, they would be together.
09:18In the future, they would never see each other again.
09:22And what was her place with Robert?
09:24If Ted was any kind of an example, she did not want to repeat the same mistake.
09:29Of course, with Robert, she might be overthinking.
09:33Knowing that he had someone he cared for, she actually felt much more relaxed.
09:39Get in the car. I'll take you back to school.
09:42No thanks. I'll take the bus.
09:47Get in.
10:18Hello?
10:31Hello.
10:47I'm sorry.
10:49I'm sorry.
10:51I'm sorry.
10:53I'm sorry.
10:55I'm sorry.
10:57I'm sorry.
10:59I'm sorry.
11:01I'm sorry.
11:03I'm sorry.
11:05I'm sorry.
11:07I'm sorry.
11:09I'm sorry.
11:11I'm sorry.
11:13I'm sorry.
11:15I'm sorry.
11:27We really have to stop meeting like this. It's starting to creep me out.
11:30Get in the car, Em.
11:32Now he was calling her Em? No one had ever called her that.
11:36Emma was short enough, but she liked the way he said it.
11:41Give me my bag, please.
11:44It'll take you at least an hour and a half to jog from here to your school.
11:49Are you sure you can still make it in time for class?
12:02Someone called you just now.
12:07You answered my phone?
12:09What if it was something urgent?
12:12What did he say?
12:13He just asked who I was and where you were.
12:17So, how did you answer?
12:19Is it important?
12:21This is my phone.
12:23You answered it without my permission.
12:25I have every right to know the subject of conversation.
12:28I said I'm your extortion target.
12:31Your bag was in my car.
12:34So, you're a boyfriend, right?
12:37Ex-boyfriend.
12:39Did you guys fight?
12:41That has nothing to do with you, Mr. Erickson.
12:55Without saying another word, she turned around and walked towards the school.
13:04But not long after she walked, nearby, someone shouted.
13:09Emma!
13:11Jack!
13:13As Robert observed the car parked across from him, his face turned pale with surprise.
13:19Was that Jack Mayer, the eldest son of the Mayer family?
13:24It seemed that he had greatly underestimated Emma Green.
13:28You said you'd be gone for two months.
13:30Yeah, Dad broke his leg a few days ago, so I came back early.
13:33Do you want me to take you to go see him?
13:36Hmm, you still can't forgive him.
13:38How can I? Besides, I know my place.
13:41Emma, don't be like that. I've never treated you like an outsider.
13:46I know.
13:47So, is that Erickson?
13:51Yeah, in that car. Robert.
13:54And how do you know him?
13:56I'm his brother's tutor.
13:58So, you're still working. What about that card I gave you?
14:03Emma, that's not the Mayer's family's money. That's me giving a gift to my sister.
14:08Yeah, but you still have the Mayer's surname.
14:12Emma, stop being so stubborn. I feel bad for you.
14:16Don't. I really like my life right now.
14:19Well, at least promise me you'll stay away from Robert Erickson. He's very dangerous.
14:24I know. I'm not stupid.
14:26Brother, I'm running late. I really have to go.
14:30Alright. Let me take you out for dinner tonight. I'll pick you up.
14:33Send me the address. I'll see you later.
14:36Okay.
14:37Robert Erickson was not someone who would just drop Emma off at school to be a good guy.
14:42What was his agenda?
14:44Could it be possible that he had stumbled upon some crucial information?
14:49A revelation that could potentially unravel secrets and hidden truths?
14:54As the wheels of speculation spun in Jack's mind,
14:57he couldn't help but wonder if Robert's actions held a deeper purpose.
15:08Emma rings the doorbell.
15:12And a member of the house staff lets her in.
15:18She walked through the front part of the house, viewing it in a new light.
15:23This time, she was paying attention to the design choices made in the space.
15:33Why are you here?
15:35This is my house.
15:40I've been waiting for you.
15:43Waiting for me? I told you I was handing in my resignation.
15:47Well then, I should ask you. Why are you here?
15:53Wouldn't a call or an email suffice?
15:57Oh, I wanted to tell Samuel in person. I felt it was only right.
16:02Right. From now on, I think you should stay here.
16:07Wait. You mean live here?
16:10That's right. Samuel has a month before the college entrance exam.
16:15He needs all the help he can get. Plus, it'll be more convenient for you to stay here.
16:22No. I'm a student. I have to stay at the dormitory. Besides, this is my house.
16:28I can't stay here.
16:31No. I'm a student. I have to stay at the dormitory. Besides, this is my house.
16:37Besides, this is my house.
16:39It's inconvenient to be going back and forth.
16:42Oh, I can help you with the accommodation to your school.
16:45No jogging back and forth and whatnot.
16:50I can send you a car. It's a win-win.
16:54That's not necessary.
16:56What I mean is it's inappropriate for us to live together and to live with someone I teach.
17:02I did not realize that your thoughts were so vulgar.
17:08Could it be that you like Samuel?
17:11Samuel is just my student.
17:13Then do you like me?
17:15Of course not.
17:17Since you don't like either of us, what's there to be afraid of?
17:23Miss Green, I think I still need to remind you that you were the one who took the initiative that night.
17:31You're a man. I don't believe you have the power to reject me.
17:36You don't seem to know very much about men.
17:40Most men would never reject a woman who voluntarily throws herself into their arms unless that man's sexual function is lacking.
17:50Speaking of which, I'm a little curious.
17:54Yesterday, I saw you talking to Ted Smith.
17:58Today, you were hugging Jack Mayer.
18:03Miss Green, it seems that I have totally underestimated your ability with the opposite sex.
18:12You and I are not close.
18:14I don't feel any obligation to share my secrets.
18:17I do not need you interfering in my personal matters.
18:21Also, you promised to keep what happened between you and I private.
18:26This was the first time Robert had met a woman who was not afraid of him.
18:32She was like a little wild cat that was ready to attack at any time.
18:39Of course, I've never told anyone about the matter of you sleeping with me.
18:45Then why pry into my love life?
18:48I'm just trying to win the argument based on what you said.
18:53You're not the only non-family member living in my house.
18:56It's not appropriate to think of this arrangement as inappropriate while you live here.
19:03You're like the other people I've hired.
19:06I'll provide the food and the shelter.
19:09You'll be responsible for teaching Samuel here.
19:12That's all.
19:24Miss Green's living arrangements have been negotiated.
19:28You can begin your lessons.
19:37Emma was speechless.
19:39Who did he negotiate with?
19:41It was him who made the decision.
19:45However, if she really thought about it, this could also be a good idea.
19:52She had planned on moving out of the dormitory anyway.
19:55It would get her away from Kristen for good.
20:00She could use the next month to find a new house to live in.
20:06After she finished her tutoring session with Samuel, she rushed to the restaurant.
20:18Perfect timing. Dinner has just been served.
20:29Eat slowly. It's not like anybody's going to snatch it from you.
20:34You can't win against me. I'll eat it all. Everything.
20:37Okay. You eat it all. If we need to order some more, not a problem.
20:42If Angie was here and saw how skinny you are, it would probably make her heart ache to death.
20:47Jack, please.
20:49Okay, okay. Please, just eat.
21:05Elsa, what brings you here?
21:12Why are you like this?
21:14You came from overseas and you didn't even come to visit your actual sister.
21:19Instead, you're here having dinner with her, the illegitimate daughter.
21:25Shut up.
21:27She was the illegitimate daughter to begin with. Disgrace to her mother.
21:32How could you be so nice to her?
21:35Elsa, you need to be more respectful, okay?
21:38Jack, at the end, I am your real sister.
21:42Ms. Mario, please. Speak to me with respect.
21:45First of all, I don't have a father.
21:48Secondly, I have never used a single cent of the Mayer family's money.
21:52Even when my mother was ill and hospitalized.
21:55Even when we needed money to save her life, not even then did I ask for help.
22:00No one in the Mayer family has the right to criticize me.
22:04Your existence is a disgrace.
22:07I'm proud to be my mother's daughter, whether you like it or not.
22:18Emma, Emma, Emma, please. Elsa, she's...
22:21Brother, don't speak anymore. Save some dignity for me.
22:26I'll leave first. Call me if you need anything.
22:30Okay.
22:35Are you satisfied?
22:54Oh, Mom, I miss you so much.
23:01Where are you heading?
23:03If you're busy, you can just drop me at the dorms.
23:06I'll be fine by myself.
23:09Okay.
23:11Bye.
23:30I had planned to go home.
23:32Tom looked in the mirror and knew what his master wanted.
23:54Mr. Erickson, Ms. Green's room has been arranged.
23:58It is on the first floor of Samuel's residence.
24:03Samuel is studying for his college entrance exam.
24:08Wouldn't it distract him to have Ms. Green staying there?
24:12Oh, yes.
24:14Arrange it with me.
24:16We can put her up for the month.
24:19Yes, sir.
24:21Another one bites the dust.
