My memory plays a joke on me about this movie

Looking at the record, I marked this movie in 2008, and the actual viewing time may be earlier. I always remember a very frustrating ending, as if one of the protagonists died and the other was powerless. Just watch the criminals get away with it. However, in my memory, the hero is dead, the heroine is alive, finds her father to question, but is powerless to get the truth, and can only continue to live under his control. I can remember the water company, I can remember my father, how can I confuse such an important ending? Maybe I just had a hard time accepting the result and subconsciously changed it. It was so distressing. I even believe that the male protagonist would rather the female protagonist survive.
