Short filmTranscript
00:00He knew the cops were coming for him, but he stripped completely naked and surrendered without a fight
00:04Later the police searched the whole house, but only found walls full of legal books
00:07Everyone was for veteran prosecutors and top lawyers to study deeply
00:10No one knew behind these strange acts
00:12Lay a shocking revenge plot against the entire U.S. justice system
00:15Ten years ago, two robbers broke into his home
00:18Clyde was hit hard and tied up
00:19A sharp blade stabbed deep into his flesh
00:21Fully conscious but helpless in despair
00:23He was forced to watch the whole tragedy
00:24He saw his wife humiliated and brutally killed
00:27Then watched the inhuman monsters go after his young daughter
00:29Pure evil could not get worse
00:31Later the two criminals were caught, but the court made an absurd ruling
00:34The accomplice who didn't kill got the death penalty with a 10-year stay
00:37But the main killer who murdered his family only got 3 years
00:40It turned out Nick the prosecutor to boost his conviction rate
00:42To keep his record as a winning prosecutor
00:44To add a perfect win to his political resume
00:47Made a secret plea deal without Clyde's knowledge or consent
00:49The killer just testified against his partner
00:51And his horrific crimes were reduced to just 3 years
00:54At that moment, justice was bought and paid for
00:56Blood was used for political gain
00:58And Clyde's pain and rage meant nothing on Nick's record
01:00He turned away silently and vanished from the world
01:03Ten years later, the accomplice who took all the blame
01:05Faced his execution day
01:06But no one expected
01:07When the lethal drug entered his veins
01:09Something went wrong
01:10The man convulsed violently, screaming in unbearable pain
01:13The supposed painless execution became a brutal torture
01:16In full public view, everyone who saw it was horrified and chilled
01:19Police later found the execution drug had been swapped
01:21The poison bottle had words carved
01:23You can't fight fate
01:24That was the killer's favorite phrase
01:26Nick remembered it well and sent police to arrest him
01:28The killer was already out of prison, living freely
01:30When he saw the news of his partner's painful death
01:33He felt no fear at all
01:34He even laughed
01:35Unaware death was coming for him
01:36Then the phone rang
01:37A distorted voice told him
01:38Cops were downstairs
01:39Panicked
01:40The killer grabbed a gun
01:41Looked out and saw flashing lights
01:42He had no time to think
01:43Fired blindly at the cops below
01:45To push them back
01:46Then followed the phone's directions
01:47Slipped past the police cordon
01:49Soon he was led to a parked police car
01:51Only an unconscious officer inside
01:52The killer took his gun
01:53Held him hostage
01:54Forced him to drive to an abandoned factory
01:56Once they arrived
01:57The killer prepared to kill him
01:58But the phone rang again
01:59He answered and realized
02:00The voice belonged to the officer
02:02As the officer turned around
02:03And removed his disguise
02:04The killer recognized him
02:06It was Clyde who vanished 10 years ago
02:07The killer panicked
02:08Pulled the trigger
02:09But instead
02:10Poison spikes shot from the gun
02:11Clyde told him coldly
02:12The toxin would paralyze his muscles
02:14But leave his senses intact
02:15He could hear feel and feel pain clearly
02:17Then
02:17This 10 year delayed revenge
02:19Began
02:19In the abandoned factory
02:21Clyde strapped the killer to a table
02:22He injected him with adrenaline
02:23To keep him fully conscious
02:25Through hours of agony
02:26His pain amplified to the extreme
02:27What he did 10 years ago
02:29Would be paid back in full
02:30Despair from back then
02:31Returned a hundred times over
02:32Then Clyde took out sharp blades
02:34Calmly explaining each one's use
02:35The best angle and force to cut
02:37I can't fight fate
02:39Right darling
02:41Oh
02:42Almost forgot the last step
02:43Clyde placed a mirror in front of him
02:44The killer couldn't look away
02:46Couldn't pass out
02:47Couldn't distract himself
02:48He had to watch clearly
02:49As his own body
02:50Was slowly dismembered
02:51Into pieces of flesh and bone
02:52The arrogant killer lost control
02:54Filled with endless fear and despair
03:00Days later
03:01Police found the killer's remains
03:03Cut into 96 pieces
03:04The scene was so brutal
03:05Even veteran detectives
03:07Who'd seen countless horrors
03:08Were shocked
03:09The number 96
03:09Was Nick's proud conviction rate
03:11Police traced the warehouse to Clyde
03:13But what happened next
03:14Shocked everyone
03:14Clyde didn't run
03:15He waited at home for police
03:17And surrendered peacefully
03:18Such an easy arrest
03:19Made experienced Nick suspicious
03:20His 10 year plan
03:21Just to end up in prison for life
03:23Of course not
03:24This revenge
03:24Was only just beginning
03:25In prison
03:26Nick sat across from Clyde
03:28The same scene as before
03:29But roles reversed
03:3010 years ago he convicted the killer
03:31Now he prosecuted the victim
03:33Did you murder Clarence Darby?
03:35Clyde now knew criminal law
03:36Better than most judges
03:37He seemed to confess everything
03:38But stayed just outside legal guilt
03:40His words were perfect
03:41Seeing Nick's anger
03:42Clyde smiled
03:43And said calmly
03:4310 years ago
03:44You made a deal with the man
03:45Who destroyed my life
03:46He betrayed his partner
03:47With a false testimony
03:48For a light sentence
03:49And the favor you gave him
03:51Now it's my turn to bargain
03:52I have one demand
03:53Get me a mattress
03:54The best one available
03:55Agree and I'll plead guilty
03:56You get a high profile case
03:57Another big win
03:58How about it?
03:59This deal is cleaner
04:00Than the one you made with a monster
04:05Unknown to Nick
04:06His home got an anonymous gift
04:08A videotape
04:09His young daughter played it
04:10It showed Clyde torturing the killer
04:11The trauma was unimaginable
04:13Ironically
04:13Even with this tape as evidence
04:15Police couldn't convict Clyde
04:16He wore a mask the whole time
04:17Forced to compromise
04:19Nick agreed
04:19Soon a luxury mattress
04:20Was carried to Clyde's cell
04:22In front of all prisoners
04:23This made every inmate jealous
04:24Causing chaos in the prison
04:26At court days later
04:27Nick asked the judge to deny bail
04:28But lacked evidence to win
04:29Then Clyde stood up
04:30Defended himself
04:31He quoted an old landmark case
04:33Nearly identical to his own
04:34Proving his innocence
04:35His logic was sharp
04:36Legal references perfect
04:37Leaving prosecutors speechless
04:39Even the judge stunned
04:40Finally the judge admitted
04:41The precedent was valid
04:42With no direct evidence
04:44She had to set Clyde free
04:45But Clyde burst out laughing
04:46Then shouted at the judge
04:47Ten years ago you used
04:48Insufficient evidence
04:49And procedural justice
04:50To let the killer of my family go free
04:52Now you'll use the same words to free me
04:54You claim to defend justice
04:55But let guilty men walk free
04:57On technicalities and lack of proof
04:58Leaving victims helpless
05:00And abusers unpunished
05:01Tell me
05:01What's really under your robes?
05:03Clyde yelled in court
05:04Full of pain and rage
05:05Then openly admitted all his crimes
05:06The judge was humiliated and enraged
05:08By the sudden confession
05:09Her authority destroyed
05:10Furious she slammed her gavel
05:12Revoked bail for contempt
05:13And locked him up immediately
05:14Back in prison
05:15Nick began a second interrogation
05:17Clyde kept his promise
05:18Answered every question fully
05:19Confessed every detail
05:20Hiding nothing
05:21But he made a new demand
05:22At exactly one o'clock
05:23I want a 20 ounce medium rare filet mignon
05:25With fresh ground pepper sauce
05:27On time to the second
05:28Or face the consequences
05:29Nick didn't care at first
05:31Thought it was a last desperate act
05:32Until Clyde said coldly
05:33Remember the corrupt lawyer
05:35Who defended the killer ten years ago
05:36He's been missing three days
05:38Nick panicked instantly
05:39Ordered a check
05:39The lawyer was indeed gone
05:41For 72 hours
05:42He rushed to get the steak ready
05:43But the warden delayed it
05:44On purpose to punish Clyde
05:45Through repeated security checks
05:47The steak arrived 8 minutes late
05:48Clyde gave the location as promised
05:50But when police arrived
05:51They found a warm dead body
05:52Forensic time of death
05:53Exactly 8 minutes prior
05:55Perfectly timed by Clyde
05:56He was behind bars
05:57But controlled life and death from afar
05:59If not a miracle then what?
06:00After eating Clyde hit a sharp bone
06:02Sneaked up on his cellmate
06:03Stabbed him in the neck
06:04Blood sprayed everywhere
06:05Covering the cell
06:06The warden was furious
06:07Locked Clyde in
06:08Maximum security solitary confinement
06:10Little did he know
06:11This violent act
06:12Was part of Clyde's plan
06:13Soon Nick learned from a former CIA agent
06:15Who once worked with Clyde
06:16About his hidden past
06:17He was no ordinary engineer
06:19His codename was the chess player
06:20One of the CIA's greatest
06:22Most feared strategic analysts
06:23More a living trap than a strategist
06:25Once targeted by him
06:26You entered his world
06:27Time odds and moves
06:28All controlled by him
06:29To push you to your end
06:30When you hit rock bottom
06:31You realize
06:32Every choice you made
06:33Just completed his trap
06:34He was the game itself
06:35The game was his will
06:36The only way to stop him
06:37Was to shoot him dead
06:38Otherwise if he wanted you dead at 3
06:40You wouldn't live till 5
06:41Nick could barely believe it
06:43Refused to accept
06:44One man could plan so perfectly
06:45He thought Clyde had an accomplice
06:47He found the corrupt judge
06:48Asked for an emergency order
06:49Banning all contact for Clyde
06:51Scared and angry the judge signed
06:52Then her phone rang
06:53She answered and her head exploded
06:57Oh my god
06:58Clyde was in chains
06:59Heavy and cold
07:00But bars and locks
07:01Couldn't stop his revenge
07:02Against the broken system
07:03In the third interrogation
07:04Clyde made no small demands
07:06He laid his cards on the table
07:07Demand unconditional release
07:09And drop all charges
07:10By 6 a.m.
07:11Tomorrow
07:11Or everyone dies
07:12Nick refused immediately
07:13But at 6 sharp
07:14Nick's female assistant
07:16And five senior justice officials
07:17Were killed in car bombs
07:18All dead on time
07:19The killing spree wasn't over
07:21Three days later
07:22A funeral for dead officials
07:23All top justice leaders attended
07:24Then a remote controlled heavy machine gun
07:26Opened fire
07:27More officials died
07:28Among them was Nick's mentor
07:29The attorney general
07:30Who raised him like a son
07:35The mayor declared
07:37A citywide state of emergency
07:38Martial law in effect
07:39Armed police patrolled every street
07:41On high alert 24-7
07:42Ironically
07:43All the city's forces
07:44Targeted a single locked prisoner
07:46Nick worked non-stop
07:47Searched all records
07:48And found a vital clue
07:49Clyde owned a property
07:50Right next to the prison
07:51Nick and his partner broke in
07:52And found a hidden tunnel
07:53Stocked with weapons
07:54Dozens of fake uniforms
07:56And full prison blueprints
07:57Monitors showing
07:58Live camera feeds inside the prison
08:00A full command center
08:01Worse still
08:01The tunnel led straight
08:02To Clyde's cell
08:03They finally understood
08:04Clyde could leave prison anytime
08:06He had no accomplices
08:07Meanwhile disguised as a cleaner
08:09Clyde planted a large bomb
08:10Inside city hall
08:11Plans in the tunnel
08:12Let Nick figure out his target
08:13The mayor and cabinet
08:14Holding a security meeting
08:15Nick rushed to city hall
08:17Found the bomb
08:17Bomb squad arrived
08:18Saw it connected to an old phone
08:20Any incoming call
08:21Would trigger the blast
08:22Powerful enough to destroy the building
08:24No one knew what to do
08:25Then Nick had an idea
08:26Later Clyde returned to his cell
08:27To find Nick waiting
08:28Clyde paused
08:29Then smiled faintly
08:30Nick begged him one last time
08:35Not to cross the line
08:36But from the day
08:37Clyde became the chess player
08:38From his first revenge move
08:39There was no turning back
08:41The game had started
08:41It had to end
08:42Whether total victory
08:43Or mutual destruction
08:45He accepted it all
08:46Unless Nick wanted another deal
08:52Clyde smiled
08:53With relief and acceptance
08:54Proud that Nick
08:55Finally understood true justice
08:56That was what he wanted
08:57Clyde pressed the trigger
08:58But Nick ran out
08:59Locked the cell door
09:00The bomb was moved back to him
09:02Clyde didn't panic
09:03He expected this
09:03Sat calmly on his bed
09:05Held his daughter's bracelet
09:06After 10 years
09:07His revenge complete
09:08He could finally join his wife and daughter
09:10Nick the man he pulled from corruption
09:11And pushed back to principle
09:13The one who might keep justice sharp
09:14Instead of letting it rust
09:15Would carry on
09:16With Clyde's death and hope
09:17To guard a world
09:18That might be more just
09:19He's lost
09:19He's lost
