They Mocked the Delivery Girl — Until They Discovered She Owned the Building

People like you don’t walk through the main lobby. >> I am just delivering this order to room 42. >> I have a delivery for apartment 12. >> Then use the service entrance. >> Why? >> Because this building has standards. [laughter] >> You’re a delivery driver. You deliver food. That’s all. >> You may want to remember my face.

>> Why? >> Because tomorrow you’ll be asking me for permission to stay in this building. Permission to stay. >> What are you looking at? >> Nothing. >> Good. Then finish your delivery and leave. >> Service elevator. >> I’ll remember that. >> You should. >> I remember everything. [clears throat] One day you’ll understand why I remembered.

Mom, why is your picture here? >> Are you still here? Your delivery is upstairs. >> Stop wasting time. Right. >> Service elevator. >> That’s where you belong. >> You really believe that, don’t you? I know exactly where people belong. >> We’ll see. >> You’re late. I’m actually 3 minutes early. Just give me the order.

 Have a good evening. What does she know? >> Amelia, are you somewhere private? I’m in an elevator. >> Why? >> Because I think it’s time you knew the truth about your mother. >> What truth? >> Not over the phone. >> Mom, what did you leave behind? Victor, how long have you known my family? >> There you are.

 I thought I told you to leave after the delivery. >> I was looking for the exit. >> Someone like you shouldn’t have trouble finding it. >> You’re very comfortable humiliating people. >> Only people who need reminding of their >> Excuse me, sir. You dropped this. >> Everything’s still there. >> Yes. >> Good.

 See, that’s why people like you shouldn’t touch things that aren’t yours. >> I returned it. >> Don’t make this dramatic. >> I’m not. >> Then stop looking offended. >> One day you’ll understand how much damage words can do. >> And one day you’ll learn not to take everything personally. Miss. Mr. Grant wants you to use the rear exit. We don’t need delivery workers standing a lobby.

>> I was only here for 5 minutes. >> And you’ve already taken enough of everyone’s time. >> Understood. >> Hello, Amelia. Don’t go back inside that building. Why? Because if Victor Grant finds out who you really are, who am I supposed to be afraid of? Who am I supposed to be afraid of? What happened here? >> I thought we made ourselves clear.

>> I forgot something. >> Of course you did. Here. >> Say please. Please. >> Some people come into places like this and forget they’re only here to serve. Serving people isn’t beneath me. >> Then don’t behave like it is. >> Why didn’t you tell me before? Because your mother made me promise. >> Promise what? That you would come here yourself.

 You’ll understand when you’re ready. >> What about the woman who came today? The delivery girl? Yes. Something about her doesn’t feel right. Then we’ll find out who she is. >> [snorts] >> I came here to understand people, not to be treated like this. >> Why is she still here? >> Maybe she likes pretending she belongs upstairs. >> Excuse me.

 Staff, use the other corridor. I’m already leaving. Good. Know your place. [laughter] [gasps] >> Don’t cry. Not here. I know today was difficult. Please don’t let them change who you are. I’m not running. >> Yes, it’s definitely her. I think we should find out why she’s really here. >> Miss Reed? >> Yes. >> You’ve been inside the building twice today.

>> I was delivering orders. >> Were you? >> What does that mean? >> Nothing. Have a pleasant evening. >> Not you again. >> I have a delivery. >> Check that order. It’s legitimate. Fine. But she doesn’t wait here. >> Where should I wait? >> There. They really let anyone into this building now. At least she’s quiet.

 I’m standing right here. Then learn not to listen. >> Why do you treat people this way? >> What did you say? You heard me. You deliver food here. You don’t question how this building is run. >> I’m still a person. >> Then act. >> Wait, what’s that? >> Nothing. >> Then why are you carrying it? >> Because it’s mine. >> Who gave it to you? >> Someone who knew this building before you did.

>> Who exactly knew this building before me? >> Why are you so interested? >> I’m responsible for this building. >> Then you should have nothing to worry about. >> [sighs] >> Amelia, did you find anything? I found more questions than answers. >> Then come home. >> I can’t. >> Why? >> Because mom didn’t send me here for nothing.

>> You promised you wouldn’t get hurt. >> I’m trying not to. >> She’s hiding something. What? An envelope. Did you see what’s inside? No. Then find out. And if she refuses, make sure she doesn’t come back. I told you not to come back. >> I have a delivery. >> Not today. >> Why? >> Because I’ve decided you’re no longer welcome here. Give me that envelope.

Give me the envelope. >> No. >> Then perhaps we should find out what you’re hiding. >> I’m not hiding anything from you. >> We’ll see about that. Security. Come here. She refuses to explain what’s inside. >> You can’t accuse me of something just because you don’t like me. >> Then open the bag. >> I haven’t done anything wrong.

>> Maybe he has a reason to suspect her. Sir, if there’s no evidence, I’m the building manager. I decide who is allowed inside. >> Don’t touch this. >> Victor. >> Who are you talking to? Nobody. >> You’re lying. No, >> I’m not lying. >> Why are you so desperate for that envelope? Not here. >> Why does a delivery girl carrying one envelope scare both of you? >> Do you think she knows? I don’t know what she knows.

 [bell] >> Amelia, are you safe? They humiliated me in front of everyone. I’m sorry. Why did you send me there if you knew this would happen? Margaret, what aren’t you telling me? >> You were supposed to handle this quietly. I tried. Then try harder. What if she comes back? She won’t. You don’t sound sure. I told you you’re not welcome here.

>> I’m here to deliver something. >> To whom? You’ll know soon enough. >> You think you’re clever? No. >> Then stop acting like you know things you don’t. >> That’s interesting. >> What is? >> You keep telling me I don’t know anything, but you seem worried. >> Amelia, if you care about your family, stop asking questions.

>> What did you just say? >> You heard me. >> What did my family have to do with this place? >> Did Victor say something about your family? >> Yes. How did you know? Margaret, you’re back. Isn’t she the delivery girl you were talking about? Yes. And apparently, she has become very interested in this building. >> Interested in what? The apartments.

>> You should leave before this becomes embarrassing. >> For whom? >> For someone who clearly doesn’t understand boundaries. >> You don’t know anything about me. >> I know exactly what I see. >> That’s your problem. >> We have a problem. What? Who sent this? I don’t know. If that’s real, everything we’ve done could come out.

>> Tomorrow. >> Does she know? Not yet. >> Today, I get answers. >> I told you not to come back. >> You also told me I didn’t belong here. >> And yet you keep returning. Maybe there’s a reason. >> Leave before I call security. >> Go ahead. >> What’s happening? She refuses to leave. What exactly do you want? >> The truth.

>> Why did you react like that? >> I have no idea what you’re talking about. >> Hello, Amelia. Where are you? Inside the building. I told you to come alone. I’m not alone anymore. Don’t let Victor see the envelope. Why? Because your mother. >> Your mother? What do you know about my mother? >> This conversation is over.

>> No, I think it’s only just beginning. You mentioned my family. Now you’re going to explain why. >> I don’t owe you an explanation. >> Then why are you afraid of one envelope? >> This is becoming ridiculous. >> You seem very interested. >> Escort her outside. Sir, now >> it’s okay. Some people just don’t know when to stop.

I’m tired of being treated like I don’t matter. If my mother wanted me to come here, she should have told me why. I need the truth. >> Don’t open it. >> Why? Because once you see what’s inside, there is no going back. Margaret, what is happening inside that building, please? Your mother trusted you to discover the truth yourself.

 Then I’ll discover it. If everyone is so afraid of what’s inside this, then someone must be desperate to keep it hidden. That was your reason. >> She has the envelope. Then we need to know what’s inside. You kept those. I kept everything. If she connects those records to us, she won’t. She won’t. >> What are you doing here? >> I came back for my delivery bag.

 Is something wrong? No. >> Good. >> I’m getting close to the answer. Why are you blocking my view? >> Because these are confidential building records. >> Then why do you look frightened? >> You are becoming a problem. >> Maybe someone should have listened when I was only delivering food. >> You should really leave.

>> You said that yesterday. >> I’m trying to help you. >> Then tell me the truth. What are you afraid I’ll find? >> Wait. The envelope. >> You still want it? >> It doesn’t belong to you. >> How do you know what’s inside if you’ve never seen it? >> That’s what I thought. Victor knows about the envelope. Margaret, then you need to be careful.

I’m tired of being careful. Everyone tells me to wait, but no one tells me what for. Tomorrow. Tomorrow? What? Someone is coming. >> Who is coming tomorrow? I don’t know. Then why are you scared? Because whoever it is could take everything away. >> Everything. >> You were listening. >> I heard enough. >> You don’t understand what you’re getting involved in.

>> Then explain it. That’s what I thought. >> You need to stop pretending this place belongs to you. >> I never said it did. >> Victor, enough. >> Can I ask you something? Who actually owns this building? >> That’s none of your business. >> Why? >> Because you’re a delivery worker, >> right? That’s what you keep telling yourself. I asked who owns the building.

Victor wouldn’t answer. Good. Good. Because you’re finally asking the right question. Then tell me the answer. Not yet. How much? until the person who has the authority to answer it arrives. Who is that? Margaret. Tomorrow morning, 9:00. 9:00. >> Sir, we weren’t expecting you. I received instructions to come here.

 Of course. Perhaps we could discuss this privately. >> You came? Is that the person you were talking about? >> Yes. >> Who is he? Someone who can finally answer the questions you’ve been asking. >> You should have warned me. >> You had plenty of opportunities >> to do the right thing. What exactly are you implying? >> I’m not implying anything.

 I’m waiting for the documents. >> You still have it. >> You’ve seen this before. >> Not exactly. >> Then how did you know what I was holding? Everyone here knows something about me except me. >> Amelia, there is something you need to see. Mr. Harris, please. >> What is this? Something that should have been addressed a long time ago.

>> Why are you showing me these? Because your mother left very specific instructions. >> This is completely unnecessary. >> You don’t get to decide that anymore. >> This is the document you need to read. >> What is it? Proof. Proof of what? That everything you’ve experienced here was part of something your mother planned.

>> No, this can’t be right. It is >> Victor. Victor. >> All this time, >> your mother didn’t want you to inherit a building. She wanted you to understand what it meant to have power over people’s lives. >> Amelia, this building is yours. >> Amelia, perhaps we can discuss this privately. >> Privately? You humiliated me here in front of everyone. So, we’ll talk here.

>> You told me I didn’t belong here. >> I was wrong. >> You didn’t know me. You judged my clothes, my job, the way I walked through this lobby. And you treated me like I wasn’t worth basic respect. >> I’m sorry, Victor. We should leave. >> You, too? >> Me? >> I saw what you were discussing. There is another matter you need to address.

Why are there payments leaving this building’s account? >> Those were legitimate expenses. >> They weren’t. >> You said nobody would find those. >> Thank you. >> For what? >> For telling me the truth. >> Amelia, please. I can explain. You had years to explain. I came here as someone you thought was beneath you.

 And that showed me everything I needed to know. You were here when he told me I didn’t belong. >> Yes. >> Did you agree with him? >> No, Miss Reed. >> Then why didn’t you say anything? >> Because I needed my job. >> And you? I was afraid, too. Nobody should have to be afraid to speak up. That’s the first thing that’s going to change.

I know I treated you terribly. But please don’t destroy everything I’ve built. >> You didn’t build this. You were trusted with it. And you forgot what that meant. Both of you will answer for what you did. Your mother left this for you. Why didn’t you give it to me before? Because she asked me to wait until you understood why she sent you here.

She knew. What did she say? >> She said, “Never measure a person’s worth by their uniform.” I know what I have to do now. >> Never humiliate someone. You should treat me like a human
