00:00:00Struggling triplets sang as they begged for food.

00:00:03The millionaire and his Mustang stopped and cried.

00:00:05Before we dive into this incredible story,

00:00:08drop a comment below and tell us where you're watching from.

00:00:11We'd love to connect with our amazing community around the world.

00:00:15Now let's begin this journey together.

00:00:17The Chicago morning sun glinted off the cherry red hood of Marcus Blackwood's 1967 Mustang

00:00:23as he navigated the bustling downtown traffic.

00:00:27At 42, Marcus had built an empire in commercial real estate,

00:00:30but success felt hollow in the cavernous silence of his penthouse apartment.

00:00:35Four years.

00:00:36Four years since the car accident that claimed his wife Amelia's life,

00:00:40leaving him with nothing but memories and an ache that never quite healed.

00:00:45The police report was clear.

00:00:47Brake failure on a rainy November night.

00:00:50Amelia's body was so badly damaged that dental records were needed for identification.

00:00:55Marcus had buried an empty shell while his heart remained trapped in that twisted wreckage.

00:01:01His phone buzzed with another business call, but Marcus ignored it.

00:01:05Nothing seemed to matter anymore.

00:01:07Not the quarterly reports, not the new developments,

00:01:09not the accolades from the Chicago Business Journal naming him Entrepreneur of the Year.

00:01:15Money couldn't fill the void where his soulmate used to be.

00:01:17As he stopped at the red light on Michigan Avenue, something extraordinary caught his attention.

00:01:24Three identical little girls, maybe eight or nine years old,

00:01:28stood on the sidewalk corner with a small cardboard sign reading,

00:01:31Music for Hope.

00:01:33They wore matching but faded blue dresses,

00:01:36their long auburn hair braided neatly despite their obvious poverty.

00:01:39Then they began to sing.

00:01:42The melody drifted through his partially open window, pure and haunting.

00:01:48Marcus's blood turned to ice as recognition, struck like lightning.

00:01:53The song was whispered dreams,

00:01:55the lullaby Amelia had composed during their happiest days together,

00:01:59humming it while she cooked breakfast or tended her garden.

00:02:01She'd never written it down, never shared it with anyone except him.

00:02:07Yet here were three children singing her secret song,

00:02:10Note for Perfect Note.

00:02:13Marcus's hands trembled on the steering wheel as he studied their faces more carefully.

00:02:19All three had the same distinctive emerald green eyes

00:02:22that had first captured his heart when he met Amelia twelve years ago.

00:02:26Eyes so unique that strangers used to stop her on the street to compliment them.

00:02:30The light turned green, but Marcus couldn't move.

00:02:35Behind him horns began honking, but he barely heard them.

00:02:38His mind raced with impossible possibilities as the three little girls continued singing the song

00:02:43that only Amelia should have known.

00:02:45Who were these children?

00:02:47And how did they possess the melody that died with his wife four years ago?

00:02:51Three sleepless.

00:02:52Nights passed before Marcus could no longer resist the pull drawing him back to that street corner.

00:02:57He'd tried to convince himself it was coincidence,

00:03:00that grief was making him see connections that didn't exist.

00:03:04But every time he closed his eyes,

00:03:05he heard those three perfect voices singing Amelia's secret song.

00:03:10The downtown traffic was lighter on Thursday afternoon

00:03:13as Marcus parked his Mustang across from the same corner.

00:03:16He waited, heart pounding, until

00:03:19The familiar figures appeared around 3.30 p.m.

00:03:22The three identical girls took their usual position,

00:03:26the cardboard sign carefully placed at their feet.

00:03:29This time, Marcus didn't hesitate.

00:03:32He crossed the street with purposeful strides,

00:03:34pulling a $20 bill from his wallet.

00:03:36That was beautiful, he said gently,

00:03:39kneeling to their eye level.

00:03:41Up close,

00:03:42the resemblance to Amelia was even more striking.

00:03:44Not just the eyes, but

00:03:46the shape of their faces,

00:03:48the way they tilted their heads when curious.

00:03:51Thank you, mister,

00:03:52said the girl in the middle,

00:03:53apparently the spokesperson.

00:03:55I'm Grace.

00:03:56These are my sisters, Hope and Faith.

00:03:58Triplets.

00:04:00Marcus's breath caught as he noticed subtle differences.

00:04:04Grace had a small scar above her left eyebrow.

00:04:07Hope seemed shyer,

00:04:08staying slightly behind her sisters.

00:04:11Faith clutched a small,

00:04:13battered music book to her chest.

00:04:15That song you were singing, Marcus managed,

00:04:17where did you learn it?

00:04:19The three girls exchanged meaningful glances

00:04:21before Grace answered.

00:04:23Our mama Amelia taught it to us when we were little.

00:04:25She said it was special just for us.

00:04:28Marcus's knees nearly buckled.

00:04:31Your mama Amelia?

00:04:32She had to go away,

00:04:34Hope whispered, sadly.

00:04:37But Grandma Virginia takes care of us now.

00:04:40Grandma Virginia?

00:04:42Virginia Stone.

00:04:44Faith added,

00:04:45speaking for the first time.

00:04:47Her voice was soft but musical.

00:04:50She lives in the apartment building behind the church.

00:04:52She was Mama Amelia's friend.

00:04:55Grace studied Marcus with uncomfortably perceptive eyes.

00:04:58You look sad when we talk about Mama Amelia.

00:05:01Did you know her too?

00:05:04Marcus handed them the twenty,

00:05:05his hand shaking slightly.

00:05:06I, I might have.

00:05:10What did she look like?

00:05:12Pretty, Hope said immediately.

00:05:15She had hair like ours and the same green eyes,

00:05:17and she smelled like vanilla and always sang to us.

00:05:20She was scared sometimes,

00:05:23Faith added quietly.

00:05:24She would cry when she thought we were sleeping.

00:05:27But she loved us very much.

00:05:29The pieces of an impossible puzzle began forming in Marcus's mind.

00:05:35Three girls who looked exactly like Amelia,

00:05:38a song only she knew,

00:05:39and a mysterious woman named Virginia Stone

00:05:42who cared for them after their mother went away.

00:05:44Girls, could I,

00:05:47could I meet Grandma Virginia sometime?

00:05:50Grace tilted her head, considering.

00:05:52Maybe.

00:05:53She's careful about strangers.

00:05:55But if you really knew Mama Amelia,

00:05:58she might want to meet you too.

00:06:00As the sisters gathered their things to

00:06:02leave,

00:06:04Marcus felt destiny shifting around him

00:06:06like storm clouds gathering.

00:06:08Whatever impossible truth lay ahead,

00:06:10he was going to uncover it.

00:06:12Saturday afternoon found Marcus nervously

00:06:14clutching a bag of groceries

00:06:15as he approached the weathered,

00:06:17apartment building behind St. Mary's Church.

00:06:20Grace had mentioned they lived in 2B,

00:06:22and after two days of internal debate,

00:06:25Marcus had decided to make an impromptu visit

00:06:27under the guise of helping neighbors.

00:06:31Virginia Stone answered the door,

00:06:33a woman in her early seventies

00:06:34with kind but wary eyes.

00:06:37Her silver hair was pulled back in a neat bun,

00:06:39and she wore the practical clothes

00:06:41of someone who'd spent decades caring for others.

00:06:44Mrs. Stone?

00:06:45I'm Marcus Blackwood.

00:06:47I met Grace Hope and Faith downtown.

00:06:50They mentioned you might need some assistance.

00:06:52Virginia's face tightened almost imperceptibly.

00:06:56Mr. Blackwood.

00:06:57The girls mentioned a kind man who gave them money.

00:07:00She studied him carefully.

00:07:02Please, come in.

00:07:03The small apartment was immaculate,

00:07:06but cramped.

00:07:08The three girls sat at a tiny kitchen table

00:07:10doing homework,

00:07:11their identical faces lighting up

00:07:13when they saw Marcus.

00:07:15You came!

00:07:16Grace exclaimed,

00:07:17jumping up to hug him.

00:07:18The gesture was so natural,

00:07:20so trusting,

00:07:21that Marcus felt his throat constrict.

00:07:23As Virginia prepared tea

00:07:25with obvious nervous energy,

00:07:27Marcus observed details

00:07:29that made his pulse race.

00:07:31Hope instinctively avoided

00:07:32the peanut butter crackers, Virginia.

00:07:34Offered.

00:07:35The same deadly allergy

00:07:36Amelia had suffered from.

00:07:38Faith unconsciously hummed while reading.

00:07:40The exact habit that used to drive

00:07:42Amelia's college roommates crazy.

00:07:45Grace had a birthmark on her wrist

00:07:46shaped like a crescent moon,

00:07:48identical to one Amelia bore

00:07:49in the same spot.

00:07:51Girls.

00:07:52Show Mr. Blackwood.

00:07:54Your music books,

00:07:55Virginia suggested,

00:07:57clearly trying to redirect

00:07:58the conversation from the questions

00:07:59Marcus kept asking about their mother.

00:08:02Faith proudly displayed

00:08:03a collection of handwritten sheet music.

00:08:06Marcus's blood ran cold

00:08:07as he recognized Amelia's

00:08:09distinctive musical notation style,

00:08:11the way she drew her clefs,

00:08:13her unique method of marking tempo changes.

00:08:16Mama Amelia wrote these,

00:08:18Faith explained proudly.

00:08:20She said music was the language

00:08:22of the heart.

00:08:23The exact phrase Amelia used to say

00:08:25during their late night conversations

00:08:27about her composing dreams,

00:08:29Mr. Blackwood,

00:08:30Virginia interrupted sharply.

00:08:32Perhaps you should.

00:08:34She taught us this one

00:08:35before she went away,

00:08:37Hope said,

00:08:38moving to the old piano

00:08:39against the wall.

00:08:40Her small fingers found the keys

00:08:42with remarkable skill,

00:08:44playing a melody

00:08:44that stopped Marcus's heart completely.

00:08:48It was the love song

00:08:49Amelia had composed

00:08:50for their wedding.

00:08:51She'd played it exactly once

00:08:53on their honeymoon,

00:08:54saying it was too personal

00:08:55to ever perform publicly.

00:08:57Virginia's face had gone ashen.

00:09:00Hope,

00:09:01that's enough music for today.

00:09:03But Grandma Virginia,

00:09:05Mr. Blackwood looks like

00:09:06he knows this song too,

00:09:08Grace observed

00:09:08with unsettling perceptiveness.

00:09:11Marcus stood abruptly,

00:09:12his mind reeling.

00:09:14Three girls who shared

00:09:15Amelia's physical traits,

00:09:16her allergies,

00:09:18her musical gifts,

00:09:19and her most private compositions.

00:09:21A nervous caretaker

00:09:23who seemed to know more

00:09:24than she was revealing,

00:09:25and most impossible of all,

00:09:27children who would be

00:09:28exactly the right age

00:09:29if Amelia had been pregnant

00:09:30when she died.

00:09:32Mrs. Stone,

00:09:34I need to ask you

00:09:35something directly,

00:09:37Marcus said,

00:09:38his voice steady

00:09:38despite the chaos

00:09:39in his chest.

00:09:41Were you a nurse

00:09:42at Chicago General Hospital

00:09:43four years ago?

00:09:45Virginia's teacup

00:09:46rattled against its saucer.

00:09:48I think you should leave,

00:09:49Mr. Blackwood.

00:09:51Marcus looked at the

00:09:52three beautiful faces

00:09:53staring up at him

00:09:54with Amelia's eyes

00:09:55and made a decision

00:09:55that would change everything.

00:09:58I'll be back,

00:09:59he promised quietly.

00:10:01And next time,

00:10:02I'll have answers.

00:10:05As he walked to his car,

00:10:07Marcus pulled out

00:10:08his phone

00:10:09and dialed the number

00:10:09for Chicago's

00:10:10most reputable

00:10:11private investigation firm.

00:10:13Some mysteries

00:10:14demanded professional help

00:10:15to uncover.

00:10:16Elena Rodriguez had 20 years

00:10:20of experience

00:10:20finding missing persons,

00:10:22but Marcus Blackwood's case

00:10:24was unlike anything

00:10:25she'd encountered.

00:10:27Sitting across

00:10:27from the tormented businessman

00:10:29in her downtown office,

00:10:30she listened

00:10:31as he explained

00:10:32his impossible theory.

00:10:34Mr. Blackwood,

00:10:35grief can create

00:10:36powerful illusions,

00:10:38Elena said gently,

00:10:39though her trained instincts

00:10:41told her to take

00:10:41this case seriously.

00:10:42But these details

00:10:44you've described,

00:10:45let me investigate properly.

00:10:48Elena started

00:10:49with Virginia Stone's background.

00:10:51Within hours,

00:10:52she'd uncovered

00:10:52crucial information

00:10:53that made Marcus's suspicions

00:10:55seem less impossible.

00:10:57Virginia Stone

00:10:58had worked

00:10:59as a pediatric nurse

00:11:01at Chicago General Hospital

00:11:02for 37 years

00:11:03before retiring

00:11:04in December 2020,

00:11:06exactly one month

00:11:08after Amelia's

00:11:08supposed death.

00:11:09Her personnel file

00:11:11showed she'd specialized

00:11:12in high-risk pregnancies

00:11:14and had access

00:11:15to birth certificate

00:11:16documentation.

00:11:18More intriguingly,

00:11:19Virginia had taken

00:11:20emergency family leave

00:11:22three times

00:11:22between October

00:11:23and December 2020,

00:11:25claiming to care

00:11:26for a critically ill relative.

00:11:29The timing is suspicious,

00:11:30Elena reported

00:11:31during their second meeting,

00:11:33but the real breakthrough

00:11:34came when I accessed

00:11:35the medical records.

00:11:36She slid a folder

00:11:37across her desk.

00:11:38The triplets' birth certificates

00:11:40show they were born

00:11:41on November

00:11:42were 15th, 2020,

00:11:44to unknown parents

00:11:45and immediately placed

00:11:46in Virginia Stone's care

00:11:47through an emergency guardianship.

00:11:50No hospital records,

00:11:51no doctor's name,

00:11:52no prenatal care documentation.

00:11:54Marcus's hands trembled

00:11:56as he processed

00:11:56the implications.

00:11:58November 15th,

00:12:00that's exactly nine months

00:12:01after Amelia and I,

00:12:03we tried for a baby

00:12:04that spring.

00:12:06There's more,

00:12:07Elena continued.

00:12:08I managed to photograph

00:12:09the girls yesterday

00:12:10during their street performance.

00:12:12Look at these close-ups.

00:12:14The images showed details

00:12:16Marcus had noticed,

00:12:17but not fully processed.

00:12:20Grace's crescent-shaped birthmark.

00:12:22Hope's slightly pointed.

00:12:24Left ear,

00:12:25a genetic trait Amelia

00:12:27had inherited

00:12:27from her grandmother.

00:12:29Faith's dimpled chin,

00:12:31identical to Amelia's baby photos.

00:12:34Mr. Blackwood,

00:12:35I need you to understand

00:12:36the implications here.

00:12:38If these children

00:12:38are biologically yours,

00:12:40someone went to extraordinary lengths

00:12:42to hide their existence.

00:12:44We're talking about

00:12:45forged documents,

00:12:46falsified medical records,

00:12:48possibly even

00:12:48faked deaths.

00:12:50Marcus finished quietly.

00:12:52Elena nodded grimly.

00:12:54To confirm this theory,

00:12:55we need DNA evidence.

00:12:57I can collect samples discreetly

00:12:59during their public performances,

00:13:00but if you're right

00:13:01about what happened,

00:13:03we may be dealing

00:13:03with something

00:13:04much more dangerous

00:13:05than family secrets.

00:13:07What do you mean?

00:13:09Someone with access

00:13:10to hospital records

00:13:11and legal documentation

00:13:13helped create new identities

00:13:14for three children.

00:13:16Someone who wanted them

00:13:17to disappear completely

00:13:18from your life.

00:13:20The question is,

00:13:21why?

00:13:23Marcus stared at the photographs

00:13:24of three little girls

00:13:25who might be his daughters.

00:13:27Whatever the reason,

00:13:28Elena,

00:13:29I need to know the truth.

00:13:30If Amelia is alive,

00:13:32if these are our children,

00:13:33then someone has been

00:13:34lying to you for four years,

00:13:36Elena said.

00:13:37And people who orchestrate

00:13:39deceptions this elaborate

00:13:40usually have very dangerous

00:13:41reasons for doing so.

00:13:43Elena began packing her files.

00:13:46I'll have preliminary DNA results

00:13:48within 48 hours.

00:13:51But Mr. Blackwood,

00:13:52prepare yourself.

00:13:53If I'm right about

00:13:54what we're uncovering,

00:13:55the truth may be more shocking

00:13:57than you can imagine.

00:13:57Marcus left Elena's office

00:14:00with his world teetering

00:14:02on the edge

00:14:02of complete transformation.

00:14:04Three little girls

00:14:05singing on a street corner

00:14:06might be the key

00:14:07to discovering

00:14:07that everything he thought

00:14:08he knew about loss,

00:14:10grief,

00:14:11and moving forward

00:14:12was built on an elaborate lie.

00:14:15Marcus returned

00:14:16to Virginia's apartment building

00:14:18on Tuesday.

00:14:19Evening?

00:14:19This time carrying bags

00:14:21from the local grocery store

00:14:22and a check that would cover

00:14:23three months of rent.

00:14:24He'd spent the previous day

00:14:26researching Virginia Stone's

00:14:27financial situation.

00:14:29A retired nurse

00:14:30living on a modest pension,

00:14:32struggling to care

00:14:32for three growing children.

00:14:35Mr. Blackwood,

00:14:37Virginia said,

00:14:38opening the door

00:14:38with obvious reluctance.

00:14:40I wasn't expecting you.

00:14:42Mrs. Stone,

00:14:43I know you're suspicious

00:14:44of my motives,

00:14:45but I genuinely want to help.

00:14:47No strings attached.

00:14:48The triplets rushed

00:14:49to greet him.

00:14:50Their innocent joy,

00:14:51a stark contrast

00:14:52to Virginia's worried expression.

00:14:55Grace noticed

00:14:56the groceries immediately,

00:14:57R.G.

00:14:58Those for us?

00:14:59She asked

00:15:00with the careful hope

00:15:01of a child

00:15:01who'd learned

00:15:02not to expect too much.

00:15:04Fresh fruit,

00:15:04vegetables,

00:15:05and some treats,

00:15:06Marcus confirmed,

00:15:07handing the bags

00:15:08to Hope and Faith.

00:15:10And Mrs. Stone,

00:15:11I'd like to help

00:15:11with expenses.

00:15:12These girls deserve

00:15:13the best care possible.

00:15:16Virginia's composure

00:15:17cracked slightly.

00:15:18Mr. Blackwood,

00:15:19we can't accept charity.

00:15:21It's not charity,

00:15:23Marcus interrupted gently.

00:15:25Consider it.

00:15:26An investment

00:15:27in their future.

00:15:29As the girls

00:15:30unpacked groceries

00:15:31with excited chatter,

00:15:32Virginia pulled

00:15:33Marcus aside.

00:15:35Her hands shook

00:15:36as she spoke

00:15:36in hushed tones.

00:15:38You ask too many questions

00:15:39about their mother,

00:15:41she whispered.

00:15:42Some things

00:15:43are better left buried.

00:15:45Mrs. Stone,

00:15:46I think I knew Amelia.

00:15:49I think I knew

00:15:50her very well.

00:15:51Virginia's face

00:15:52went pale.

00:15:54What?

00:15:54Did you say

00:15:55your last name was?

00:15:56Blackwood.

00:15:57Marcus Blackwood.

00:15:59The reaction

00:15:59was immediate

00:16:00and terrifying.

00:16:02Virginia gripped

00:16:03the kitchen counter

00:16:03for support,

00:16:04her breathing

00:16:05becoming rapid

00:16:06and shallow.

00:16:07Oh my God,

00:16:08she whispered.

00:16:09She said,

00:16:10she always said

00:16:11if something happened

00:16:12to her,

00:16:12if Marcus ever found them.

00:16:14Found them?

00:16:16Marcus's pulse raced.

00:16:18Virginia,

00:16:18what are you saying?

00:16:20The elderly woman

00:16:21glanced at the triplets,

00:16:22still happily arranging.

00:16:24Groceries then pulled

00:16:25Marcus into the tiny bedroom.

00:16:27She made me promise,

00:16:28Virginia said,

00:16:29tears streaming down her face.

00:16:31Amelia made me swear

00:16:32that if you ever came looking,

00:16:34I had to tell you the truth.

00:16:36The truth about what?

00:16:38She didn't die

00:16:39in that car accident,

00:16:40Marcus.

00:16:41She was running.

00:16:43Running.

00:16:44For her life

00:16:45and theirs.

00:16:46Marcus felt the world

00:16:47tilt beneath his feet.

00:16:48That's impossible.

00:16:50I identified her body.

00:16:51I buried her.

00:16:53You buried someone else,

00:16:54Virginia said shakily.

00:16:56Amelia was six months pregnant

00:16:58when she came to me,

00:16:59terrified and beaten.

00:17:01She said someone

00:17:02was trying to kill

00:17:03both of you,

00:17:04that she had

00:17:04to disappear

00:17:05to protect the babies.

00:17:07Babies.

00:17:08Plural.

00:17:10Triplets,

00:17:11Virginia confirmed.

00:17:12She gave birth

00:17:13right here in this apartment,

00:17:14too scared to go

00:17:15to any hospital.

00:17:16I delivered them myself.

00:17:18Off the books.

00:17:19No records.

00:17:21Marcus slumped

00:17:21against the wall.

00:17:23Where is she now?

00:17:25Virginia's face crumpled.

00:17:26I don't know.

00:17:28She left when the girls

00:17:29were two years old.

00:17:30Said she had to lead

00:17:31the danger away from them.

00:17:33I haven't heard

00:17:33from her since.

00:17:35From the kitchen

00:17:35came the sound

00:17:36of Grace calling.

00:17:37Grandma Virginia,

00:17:38Mr. Blackwood,

00:17:40come see what Faith drew.

00:17:41She told.

00:17:42Me their father

00:17:43was a good man.

00:17:44Virginia continued quietly.

00:17:47Said Marcus Blackwood

00:17:48would love them

00:17:48more than life itself

00:17:49if he ever found them.

00:17:50But she also said

00:17:51powerful people

00:17:52wanted you both dead.

00:17:54Marcus gripped

00:17:54Virginia's shoulders gently.

00:17:56Who, Virginia?

00:17:57Who wanted us dead?

00:17:59She never said names.

00:18:01Only that your business partner

00:18:02discovered something

00:18:03he shouldn't have.

00:18:04And that betrayal

00:18:05came from inside

00:18:07your own company.

00:18:08Through the thin walls

00:18:09they could hear

00:18:10the triplets

00:18:10beginning to sing

00:18:11softly together.

00:18:12The same haunting melody

00:18:14that had first brought Marcus

00:18:15to this moment

00:18:16of impossible truth.

00:18:18His wife was alive.

00:18:21These were

00:18:22his daughters.

00:18:24And somewhere

00:18:25someone who'd tried

00:18:26to destroy his family

00:18:27four years ago

00:18:28might still be hunting them.

00:18:30Virginia led Marcus

00:18:31to an old wooden chest

00:18:32hidden beneath her bed.

00:18:34Her hands trembling

00:18:34as she pulled out

00:18:35a small metal box.

00:18:37The triplets' voices

00:18:38continued their gentle

00:18:39singing from the kitchen.

00:18:40providing a bittersweet

00:18:42soundtrack to the revelation

00:18:43that would shatter

00:18:44Marcus' understanding

00:18:46of everything.

00:18:47Amelia left this for you.

00:18:49Virginia whispered

00:18:50pressing the box

00:18:50into Marcus' hands.

00:18:52She said if anything

00:18:53happened to her

00:18:54if you ever found the girls

00:18:55I should give you this.

00:18:58Inside the box

00:18:59Marcus found a letter

00:19:01written in Amelia's

00:19:02familiar

00:19:02handwriting

00:19:03photographs of her

00:19:05pregnant with triplets

00:19:06and a small recording device.

00:19:08Read the letter first.

00:19:10Virginia instructed

00:19:11settling beside him

00:19:12on the narrow bed.

00:19:14Marcus' hands shook

00:19:15as he unfolded the pages.

00:19:17My dearest Marcus

00:19:18if you're

00:19:19reading this

00:19:20Virginia has kept her promise

00:19:21and you found our daughters.

00:19:22Grace

00:19:23hope

00:19:24and faith

00:19:24the three miracles

00:19:25I never got to tell you about.

00:19:27I discovered

00:19:28Derek Hamilton

00:19:29has been stealing millions

00:19:30from Blackwood Industries.

00:19:32He's been using

00:19:33our overseas accounts

00:19:34to fund illegal arms deals.

00:19:36When I found the evidence

00:19:38and tried to tell you

00:19:39Derek cornered me

00:19:40in the parking garage

00:19:41he told me he'd kill you

00:19:43if I said anything.

00:19:44When he realized

00:19:45I was pregnant

00:19:45he said he'd kill all of us

00:19:47that a family accident

00:19:48would be easier to explain

00:19:49than multiple murders.

00:19:51Marcus

00:19:51I had to choose

00:19:53between telling you the truth

00:19:54and keeping you alive.

00:19:56I chose your life.

00:19:58Marcus looked

00:19:59up at Virginia

00:20:00his face pale.

00:20:01Derek Hamilton

00:20:02my business partner

00:20:03for eight years.

00:20:04She was six months pregnant

00:20:05when she came to me

00:20:06Virginia continued.

00:20:08Bruised

00:20:09terrified

00:20:09begging me

00:20:10to help her disappear.

00:20:12Derek had shown her

00:20:13photos of you

00:20:13leaving work

00:20:14arriving home

00:20:15meeting with clients.

00:20:17He was watching everything.

00:20:19The

00:20:19car accident

00:20:20she staged it.

00:20:23Used her medical knowledge

00:20:24and my nursing contacts

00:20:25to create false records.

00:20:27A Jane Doe

00:20:28who died in the crash

00:20:29became Amelia Blackwood

00:20:30in the system.

00:20:32Dental records

00:20:32were switched

00:20:33fingerprints altered.

00:20:35Marcus picked up

00:20:36the recording device

00:20:36with shaking hands.

00:20:38What's this?

00:20:40Evidence.

00:20:41Derek didn't know

00:20:42Amelia was recording

00:20:43their conversations.

00:20:45She gathered

00:20:45proof of everything.

00:20:47The embezzlement.

00:20:48The threats.

00:20:49His connections

00:20:50to weapons smuggling.

00:20:51The E.

00:20:52Kitchen fell silent

00:20:53and Grace appeared

00:20:54in the doorway.

00:20:56Mr. Blackwood?

00:20:57You look sad.

00:20:58Did we do something wrong?

00:21:00Marcus quickly wiped his eyes.

00:21:02No, sweetheart.

00:21:04Grandma Virginia

00:21:05was just telling me

00:21:05stories about your mama.

00:21:07Faith and Hope

00:21:08joined their sister,

00:21:09all three studying Marcus

00:21:10with Amelia's

00:21:11perceptive green eyes.

00:21:13She loved you very much,

00:21:15Hope said quietly.

00:21:16She used to cry

00:21:17and say,

00:21:18I hope Daddy Marcus

00:21:19understands why

00:21:20I had to go away.

00:21:22The words hit Marcus

00:21:24like physical blows.

00:21:26She called me

00:21:27Daddy Marcus?

00:21:28Every night,

00:21:30Faith confirmed.

00:21:31She said someday

00:21:32when the bad man

00:21:33couldn't hurt us anymore,

00:21:34we'd all be together.

00:21:36Virginia stood

00:21:37and moved to the window,

00:21:39scanning the street below

00:21:40with practiced wariness.

00:21:42Mr. Blackwood,

00:21:44if Derek Hamilton

00:21:45is still alive,

00:21:46still free,

00:21:47then finding these girls

00:21:48puts them in terrible danger.

00:21:51Marcus looked

00:21:52at his three daughters

00:21:53because he no longer

00:21:55doubted that's what they were

00:21:56and felt a protective fury

00:21:58unlike anything

00:21:59he'd ever experienced.

00:22:00Then it's time

00:22:01to end this,

00:22:02he said grimly,

00:22:03clutching Amelia's evidence.

00:22:05Derek Hamilton

00:22:06destroyed my family once.

00:22:07He won't get the chance

00:22:08to do it again.

00:22:10Virginia nodded approvingly.

00:22:13Amelia said you were brave.

00:22:15Said when you finally learned

00:22:16the truth,

00:22:17you'd move heaven and earth

00:22:18to protect them.

00:22:20Marcus stood

00:22:21his resolve crystallizing.

00:22:23She was right.

00:22:24And tomorrow,

00:22:25Derek Hamilton learns

00:22:26what happens

00:22:27when you threaten

00:22:27a father's children.

00:22:30Marcus spent the night

00:22:30listening to Amelia's recordings,

00:22:33each revelation

00:22:33stoking his rage,

00:22:35Derek's voice

00:22:35cold and calculating,

00:22:37discussing kill orders

00:22:38and money laundering

00:22:39as casually

00:22:40as quarterly reports.

00:22:42By dawn,

00:22:43Marcus had a plan

00:22:44that would either

00:22:44bring justice

00:22:45or get him killed.

00:22:47He wore a wire

00:22:48provided by Elena Rodriguez

00:22:49and walked

00:22:50into Hamilton Industries

00:22:52at 9 a.m. sharp,

00:22:53The gleaming downtown office

00:22:55felt like enemy territory now,

00:22:57every familiar detail

00:22:58tainted by betrayal.

00:23:00Marcus!

00:23:02Derek Hamilton

00:23:03stood from his mahogany desk,

00:23:05arms spread in welcome.

00:23:06At 45,

00:23:07Derek maintained

00:23:08the polished appearance

00:23:09of old money,

00:23:10silver hair,

00:23:11expensive suit,

00:23:12politician smile.

00:23:14To what do I owe

00:23:15this unexpected pleasure?

00:23:17Just thought we should

00:23:18catch up,

00:23:19Marcus said,

00:23:21accepting Derek's handshake

00:23:22while fighting the urge

00:23:23to strangle him.

00:23:25It's been too long

00:23:26since we discussed

00:23:27the old days,

00:23:28Derek's eyes flickered

00:23:29with something

00:23:29that might have been suspicion.

00:23:31The old days.

00:23:33Which ones in particular?

00:23:35November 2020.

00:23:38Right around the time

00:23:39Amelia died.

00:23:40The change in Derek

00:23:41was subtle,

00:23:42but unmistakable.

00:23:44His smile tightened,

00:23:45his posture shifted

00:23:46almost imperceptibly.

00:23:47Tragic accident.

00:23:48I still think about it sometimes.

00:23:51Do you?

00:23:52Marcus moved to the window,

00:23:54looking down at the street

00:23:55where three little girls

00:23:56sometimes sang for money.

00:23:58Funny thing about tragedies,

00:24:00Derek.

00:24:00Sometimes they're not as tragic

00:24:02as they appear.

00:24:04What's that supposed to mean?

00:24:07Marcus turned slowly,

00:24:08studying the man

00:24:09he'd trusted for eight years.

00:24:11It means I know what you did.

00:24:14Derek laughed,

00:24:15but the sound was forced.

00:24:17Marcus,

00:24:17grief can make people paranoid.

00:24:19Maybe you should consider therapy.

00:24:20I found them, Derek.

00:24:22The words hung in the air

00:24:23like a death sentence.

00:24:25Derek's face went completely still.

00:24:27Found who?

00:24:28My daughters.

00:24:30All three of them.

00:24:32Grace,

00:24:32hope,

00:24:33and faith.

00:24:35Beautiful girls,

00:24:35aren't they?

00:24:36They have their mother's eyes.

00:24:39Derek moved behind his desk,

00:24:41his hand sliding

00:24:42toward the top drawer.

00:24:43I have no idea

00:24:44what you're talking about.

00:24:45Of course you do.

00:24:47You're the reason

00:24:48Amelia ran.

00:24:49You're the reason

00:24:50she faked her death

00:24:51and hid my children from me.

00:24:53Marcus stepped closer.

00:24:55You threatened to kill us

00:24:56all over some stolen money.

00:24:58Stolen money?

00:25:00Derek's voice rose slightly.

00:25:02Marcus,

00:25:03you're clearly having

00:25:03some kind of breakdown.

00:25:05Twenty-seven million dollars,

00:25:06Derek.

00:25:07Funneled through our Cayman accounts

00:25:09to purchase illegal weapons.

00:25:11Amelia found your records.

00:25:13Derek's hand stopped moving.

00:25:15For a long moment,

00:25:16the two men stared at each other

00:25:18across the desk

00:25:19that had once symbolized

00:25:20their partnership.

00:25:22She always was too curious

00:25:23for her own good,

00:25:24Derek said finally,

00:25:25his mask slipping completely.

00:25:27Smart woman,

00:25:28your wife.

00:25:29Smarter than I gave her credit for.

00:25:32Smart enough to record

00:25:33your threats.

00:25:34Derek's laugh

00:25:35was genuinely amused now.

00:25:37And what good did that do her?

00:25:39She's been hiding like a rat

00:25:41for four years

00:25:42while I've lived in luxury.

00:25:43She's alive, Derek.

00:25:45Not for long.

00:25:47Derek's hand resumed

00:25:48its movement toward the drawer.

00:25:50And neither are those little girls

00:25:52once I find them.

00:25:54Marcus lunged forward,

00:25:56grabbing Derek's wrist

00:25:57before he could reach

00:25:57whatever weapon he'd hidden.

00:25:59You.

00:26:00Won't touch them.

00:26:02You always were too sentimental,

00:26:04Marcus,

00:26:04Derek snarled,

00:26:05struggling against Marcus's grip.

00:26:07That's why you never belonged

00:26:08in this business.

00:26:09Real success requires

00:26:10eliminating obstacles.

00:26:11Like my family?

00:26:13Like anyone who threatens.

00:26:15Profit.

00:26:16The confession hung between them

00:26:18recorded by the wire

00:26:19Elena had carefully concealed.

00:26:21Marcus released Derek's wrist

00:26:22and stepped back.

00:26:24You're done, Derek.

00:26:25The FBI will have these recordings

00:26:26within the hour.

00:26:28Derek's face contorted with rage.

00:26:30You think this ends anything?

00:26:33I have connections

00:26:33you can't imagine.

00:26:35People who make problems

00:26:36disappear permanently.

00:26:39Marcus smiled grimly.

00:26:40Then you'd better hope

00:26:41prison keeps you safe from me.

00:26:44Derek Hamilton's arrest

00:26:45made headlines across Chicago,

00:26:47but Marcus barely noticed

00:26:49the media frenzy.

00:26:50His focus was entirely

00:26:52on three little girls

00:26:53who had spent their lives

00:26:54believing they were orphans,

00:26:55and an elderly woman

00:26:57who had sacrificed everything

00:26:58to keep them safe.

00:27:00The FBI agents

00:27:01who arrested Derek

00:27:02confirmed that

00:27:03Amelia's recordings

00:27:04provided overwhelming evidence

00:27:06of extortion,

00:27:07money laundering,

00:27:08and conspiracy

00:27:09to commit murder.

00:27:11Derek would spend

00:27:11the next 25 years

00:27:12in federal prison,

00:27:14but legal victory

00:27:15felt hollow

00:27:16compared to the delicate work

00:27:17of rebuilding a family

00:27:18torn apart

00:27:19by fear and deception.

00:27:21Girls,

00:27:21Marcus said gently,

00:27:23kneeling in Virginia's

00:27:24tiny living room

00:27:25where Grace,

00:27:25Hope,

00:27:25and Faith

00:27:26sat side by side

00:27:27on the worn couch.

00:27:28I need to tell you

00:27:29something important.

00:27:31Virginia had insisted

00:27:32on being present

00:27:33for this conversation,

00:27:34her weathered hands

00:27:35clasped tightly in her lap.

00:27:37The man who scared

00:27:38your mama away

00:27:39can't hurt anyone anymore,

00:27:41Marcus continued.

00:27:42He's in jail

00:27:43and he's going to stay there

00:27:44for a very long time.

00:27:46Grace,

00:27:47ever the spokesperson,

00:27:48asked the question

00:27:49he'd been dreading.

00:27:51Does that mean

00:27:51Mama Amelia

00:27:52can come home now?

00:27:54Marcus exchanged

00:27:55a meaningful look

00:27:56with Virginia.

00:27:57They'd agreed to reveal

00:27:58his parentage gradually,

00:28:00but the search for Amelia

00:28:01remained their most

00:28:02painful uncertainty.

00:28:04We're looking for her,

00:28:05sweetheart.

00:28:06But in the meantime,

00:28:07I'd like to offer

00:28:08you girls a home,

00:28:10a real home

00:28:10with bedrooms

00:28:11and a yard and...

00:28:12His voice caught,

00:28:14and a father who loves you

00:28:15more than anything

00:28:16in the world.

00:28:17Hope tilted her head

00:28:18curiously.

00:28:19You want to be our daddy?

00:28:21I want to be your family,

00:28:23Marcus said carefully.

00:28:25If that's what you want, too.

00:28:27Faith, the quietest

00:28:28of the three, surprised.

00:28:30Him by speaking first.

00:28:32Grandma Virginia

00:28:33says you're a good man.

00:28:34She says Mama Amelia

00:28:35would want us to trust you.

00:28:38Virginia cleared her throat.

00:28:40Girls,

00:28:40Mr. Blackwood

00:28:41has asked the court

00:28:42to let him be

00:28:42your legal guardian.

00:28:44That means he'd take care of you,

00:28:45make sure you have

00:28:46everything you need.

00:28:47But what about you,

00:28:49Grandma Virginia?

00:28:50Grace asked,

00:28:51panic creeping

00:28:52into her voice.

00:28:54We can't leave you.

00:28:56You won't,

00:28:57Marcus said quickly.

00:28:59I've bought a house

00:29:00in Lincoln Park.

00:29:01It has a guest suite

00:29:02where Mrs. Stone

00:29:03can live if she wants to.

00:29:05You'd all be together.

00:29:07Virginia's eyes

00:29:08filled with tears.

00:29:10Mr. Blackwood,

00:29:11I can't accept

00:29:11such generosity.

00:29:13You've raised my daughters

00:29:15for four years.

00:29:17Marcus interrupted.

00:29:18You've been their grandmother,

00:29:20their protector,

00:29:21their everything.

00:29:22This family doesn't exist

00:29:24without you.

00:29:25Two weeks later,

00:29:26the moving trucks

00:29:27arrived at the

00:29:28three-story brownstone

00:29:29Marcus had purchased

00:29:30specifically

00:29:30for its multiple bedrooms

00:29:32and proximity

00:29:33to excellent schools.

00:29:34The girls each chose

00:29:35their own rooms.

00:29:37Grace wanted the one

00:29:38facing the garden.

00:29:39Hope preferred the corner room

00:29:40with windows on two walls.

00:29:42And Faith claimed the room

00:29:43closest to the music room

00:29:45Marcus had specially designed.

00:29:47Virginia settled in too,

00:29:49the first-floor suite

00:29:50with obvious relief

00:29:51and lingering disbelief

00:29:52at her change

00:29:53in circumstances.

00:29:55That first evening,

00:29:56as Marcus tucked Grace

00:29:57into her new bed

00:29:58surrounded by boxes

00:29:59they hadn't yet unpacked,

00:30:01she looked up at him

00:30:02with Amelia's eyes.

00:30:04Daddy Marcus,

00:30:05she said,

00:30:06testing the words,

00:30:07do you think

00:30:08Mama Amelia knows

00:30:09we're safe now?

00:30:11Marcus kissed her forehead,

00:30:12his heart swelling

00:30:13with love

00:30:14he'd never expected

00:30:15to feel again.

00:30:17I think she's watching

00:30:18over us, sweetheart,

00:30:19and I think

00:30:20she's proud of how brave

00:30:22you girls have been.

00:30:23As he turned off the lights,

00:30:25Grace's sleepy voice

00:30:26followed him to the door.

00:30:28I'm glad you found us,

00:30:29Daddy Marcus.

00:30:30So was he.

00:30:32Against all odds,

00:30:33he was a father.

00:30:34Three months into

00:30:35their new life together,

00:30:37Marcus marveled

00:30:37at how naturally

00:30:38the girls had adapted

00:30:39to their changed

00:30:40circumstances.

00:30:42The brownstone buzzed

00:30:43with life he hadn't

00:30:44experienced since

00:30:45Amelia's supposed death,

00:30:47laughter echoing

00:30:48from the U,

00:30:49kitchen where Virginia

00:30:50taught the girls to bake,

00:30:52music drifting from

00:30:53Faith's practice sessions,

00:30:55and the constant chatter

00:30:56of three bright minds

00:30:57exploring their

00:30:58expanding world.

00:30:59Each girl's unique

00:31:00personality emerged

00:31:01more clearly in the safety

00:31:02of their permanent home.

00:31:04Grace proved to be

00:31:05a natural leader,

00:31:07organizing charity drives

00:31:08at her new school

00:31:09and convincing Marcus

00:31:10to donate Christmas

00:31:11presents to children

00:31:12in their old neighborhood.

00:31:14Hope developed a passion

00:31:15for science,

00:31:16turning the basement

00:31:17into a laboratory

00:31:18where she conducted

00:31:19experiments that

00:31:20occasionally required

00:31:21fire department visits.

00:31:23Faith's musical talents

00:31:24blossomed under

00:31:25professional instruction,

00:31:27her compositions

00:31:27showing in sophistication

00:31:29that reminded Marcus

00:31:30painfully of Amelia.

00:31:32Daddy Marcus,

00:31:34Faith called from

00:31:35the music room

00:31:35one Saturday morning.

00:31:37Come listen to this,

00:31:39Marcus found her

00:31:40at the grand piano

00:31:41he'd purchased

00:31:41specifically for her use,

00:31:43her small,

00:31:44fingers moving

00:31:45confidently across the keys.

00:31:47The melody she played

00:31:48was hauntingly familiar,

00:31:50not one of Amelia's

00:31:51compositions,

00:31:51but something that

00:31:52carried echoes

00:31:53of her musical style.

00:31:55I dreamed this song,

00:31:57Faith explained seriously.

00:31:59Sometimes I dream

00:32:00about a lady

00:32:01with green eyes

00:32:02who sings to me.

00:32:04She teaches me

00:32:04new melodies.

00:32:06Virginia,

00:32:07who'd been dusting nearby,

00:32:08went very still.

00:32:10Faith, sweetheart,

00:32:11can you describe

00:32:12this lady?

00:32:13She has long hair

00:32:14like ours

00:32:15and she wears

00:32:16a white dress.

00:32:17She's always smiling,

00:32:18but sometimes

00:32:18she looks sad too.

00:32:20She says she misses

00:32:21us very much.

00:32:23Marcus felt

00:32:23his breath catch.

00:32:25Does she say

00:32:25anything else?

00:32:27She tells me

00:32:27to take care of

00:32:28Grace and Hope,

00:32:29and she says

00:32:30to tell you

00:32:31that she's trying

00:32:31to come home,

00:32:32but the path

00:32:33is very long

00:32:34and difficult.

00:32:36From the kitchen

00:32:36came Grace's voice

00:32:37calling,

00:32:38Faith,

00:32:39Hope,

00:32:40come help me

00:32:40make pancakes.

00:32:42As Faith ran off

00:32:43to join her sisters,

00:32:44Virginia moved

00:32:45closer to Marcus.

00:32:47That's the third time

00:32:48this month

00:32:49she's

00:32:49mentioned dreams

00:32:50about Amelia,

00:32:51she whispered,

00:32:52and each song

00:32:53she dreams

00:32:54sounds exactly

00:32:55like something

00:32:56Amelia would compose.

00:32:58Elena Rodriguez

00:32:59arrived that afternoon

00:33:00with updates

00:33:01on their search

00:33:01for Amelia.

00:33:03She'd been

00:33:03working tirelessly,

00:33:05following paper trails

00:33:06and interviewing

00:33:06people who

00:33:07might have

00:33:08encountered a woman

00:33:09matching Amelia's

00:33:10description.

00:33:11I found something

00:33:12promising,

00:33:13Elena announced,

00:33:14spreading photographs

00:33:15across Marcus's

00:33:16desk.

00:33:17A music teacher

00:33:18in Millbrook,

00:33:19Wisconsin,

00:33:19about three hours

00:33:20from here.

00:33:21The local school

00:33:22principal describes

00:33:23her as remarkably

00:33:24talented but extremely

00:33:25private.

00:33:27Look at this.

00:33:28The photo showed

00:33:29a woman from behind

00:33:30teaching a children's

00:33:31choir,

00:33:31her auburn hair

00:33:32was shorter

00:33:33and darker

00:33:33than Amelia's

00:33:34had been,

00:33:35but her posture

00:33:36and gestures

00:33:36were achingly

00:33:37familiar.

00:33:39The woman calls

00:33:40herself Amy Sinclair,

00:33:42Elena continued.

00:33:44She appeared

00:33:44in Millbrook

00:33:45two years ago

00:33:45with perfect

00:33:46references

00:33:47that I suspect

00:33:47are fabricated.

00:33:49She lives alone,

00:33:50rarely socializes,

00:33:51and according to

00:33:51neighbors,

00:33:52sometimes cries

00:33:53while playing piano

00:33:54late at night.

00:33:55Marcus studied

00:33:56the image,

00:33:57his heart racing.

00:33:58It could be her.

00:34:00There's more.

00:34:02The principal

00:34:02mentioned that

00:34:03Amy has an

00:34:03unusual teaching.

00:34:05Method,

00:34:05she composes

00:34:06original lullabies

00:34:07for children

00:34:08who have

00:34:08trouble sleeping.

00:34:10Marcus,

00:34:10one of her students,

00:34:11hummed a melody

00:34:12for his mother

00:34:12that matches

00:34:13the tune

00:34:13Faith just

00:34:14played for us.

00:34:16Virginia gasped.

00:34:18She's staying

00:34:18connected to them

00:34:19through music,

00:34:20teaching other

00:34:21children the songs

00:34:22she can't sing

00:34:22to her own daughters.

00:34:24That evening,

00:34:25as Marcus helped

00:34:26Hope with her

00:34:26science homework,

00:34:28while Grace and Faith

00:34:29practiced a duet

00:34:30in the oar.

00:34:31Music room.

00:34:32He made a decision

00:34:33that terrified

00:34:34and thrilled him.

00:34:36Elena,

00:34:37he said into his phone,

00:34:38stepping onto the

00:34:38garden terrace

00:34:39for privacy.

00:34:41I want to go to

00:34:41Millbrook,

00:34:42this weekend.

00:34:44Marcus,

00:34:45we need to be careful.

00:34:47If it is Amelia,

00:34:48approaching,

00:34:49her wrong could

00:34:49make her run again.

00:34:51Then we won't

00:34:51approach her,

00:34:52Marcus said,

00:34:53watching his daughters

00:34:54through the window.

00:34:55We'll let her

00:34:56come to us.

00:34:56The plan forming

00:34:58in his mind

00:34:59was risky,

00:35:00but it honored

00:35:01what he'd learned

00:35:01about the woman

00:35:02who'd sacrificed

00:35:03everything to keep

00:35:04their children safe.

00:35:07If Amelia was hiding

00:35:08in Millbrook,

00:35:09he'd find a way

00:35:09to show her

00:35:10that the danger

00:35:11was over

00:35:11without forcing

00:35:12a confrontation

00:35:12that might

00:35:13frighten her

00:35:14away again.

00:35:15Virginia had

00:35:16always been

00:35:16meticulous about

00:35:17keeping Amelia's

00:35:18secrets locked

00:35:18away,

00:35:19but eight-year-old

00:35:20girls have an

00:35:21uncanny ability

00:35:21to find hidden

00:35:22treasures.

00:35:24It was Grace

00:35:24who discovered

00:35:25the loose floorboard

00:35:26in Virginia's

00:35:27bedroom while

00:35:28retrieving,

00:35:28a dropped earring

00:35:29and Hope

00:35:30whose scientific

00:35:30curiosity demanded

00:35:31they investigate

00:35:32the space beneath

00:35:33it.

00:35:34Grandma Virginia,

00:35:36Faith called

00:35:36excitedly from

00:35:37the bedroom.

00:35:38We found a box,

00:35:40Marcus heard

00:35:40the commotion

00:35:41from his home office

00:35:42and arrived to

00:35:43find Virginia

00:35:43pale as a ghost,

00:35:45while the triplets

00:35:46sat cross-legged

00:35:46on the floor,

00:35:48surrounding an ornate

00:35:49wooden box they'd

00:35:49pulled from its

00:35:50hiding place.

00:35:52Girls,

00:35:52you shouldn't have,

00:35:54Virginia began,

00:35:54but Grace had

00:35:55already lifted

00:35:55the lid.

00:35:57Inside were

00:35:57treasures that

00:35:58stopped everyone's

00:35:59breath,

00:36:00ultrasound photos

00:36:01showing three

00:36:01babies in the

00:36:02womb,

00:36:03labeled Baby A,

00:36:05Baby B,

00:36:06Baby C,

00:36:07Amelia Blackwood,

00:36:09hospital bracelets

00:36:10with the name

00:36:10Amelia Blackwood,

00:36:12and dates from

00:36:132020,

00:36:14and most shocking

00:36:15of all,

00:36:16birth certificates

00:36:17listing Marcus

00:36:18Blackwood as the

00:36:19father of Grace

00:36:19Elizabeth,

00:36:20Hope Amelia,

00:36:22and Faith

00:36:22Virginia Blackwood.

00:36:25Blackwood.

00:36:26Hope read slowly,

00:36:27her finger tracing

00:36:28the official documents.

00:36:30That's your last

00:36:31name,

00:36:31Daddy Marcus.

00:36:32Grace looked up

00:36:33with wide,

00:36:34confused eyes.

00:36:35These say you're

00:36:36our real daddy,

00:36:37not our adopted

00:36:38daddy.

00:36:39Faith held up

00:36:39one of the

00:36:40ultrasound images.

00:36:41Is this us?

00:36:43Before we were

00:36:44born,

00:36:45Marcus knelt

00:36:45beside them,

00:36:46his heart

00:36:47hammering.

00:36:49He and Virginia

00:36:49had planned to

00:36:50reveal this truth

00:36:51gradually,

00:36:51but fate had

00:36:52forced their

00:36:52hand.

00:36:54Yes,

00:36:54sweetheart,

00:36:55he said softly.

00:36:57You're my

00:36:58daughters.

00:36:59You always have

00:36:59been.

00:37:00The silence

00:37:01that followed

00:37:01was deafening.

00:37:02Hope's scientific

00:37:03mind processed

00:37:04the information

00:37:05first.

00:37:06That means

00:37:06Mama Amelia

00:37:07was married to

00:37:08you,

00:37:09she said

00:37:09slowly.

00:37:10She was

00:37:11your wife.

00:37:12She was,

00:37:14Marcus confirmed,

00:37:15and she loved

00:37:16you girls more

00:37:16than anything

00:37:17in the world.

00:37:19Grace's face

00:37:20scrunched in

00:37:20concentration.

00:37:22But why didn't

00:37:23we live with

00:37:23you when we

00:37:24were babies?

00:37:25Why did we

00:37:26live with

00:37:26Grandma Virginia?

00:37:28Virginia reached

00:37:29for Grace's hand

00:37:30because bad men

00:37:31wanted to hurt

00:37:32your family.

00:37:33Your Mama

00:37:33had to hide

00:37:34you to keep

00:37:34you safe.

00:37:36Faith's eyes

00:37:37filled with

00:37:37tears.

00:37:39The bad

00:37:39man in my

00:37:40dreams.

00:37:41The one

00:37:42who made

00:37:42Mama cry.

00:37:44That man

00:37:45can never

00:37:45hurt you

00:37:45again,

00:37:46Marcus promised.

00:37:48He's in

00:37:49jail.

00:37:50Forever.

00:37:51But Grace,

00:37:52always the

00:37:52most perceptive,

00:37:53asked the

00:37:54question that

00:37:54shattered

00:37:55Marcus's heart.

00:37:57Daddy Marcus,

00:37:57if the

00:37:58bad man

00:37:58is gone,

00:37:59why hasn't

00:38:00Mama Amelia

00:38:00come home

00:38:01to us?

00:38:02Marcus exchanged

00:38:03a desperate

00:38:04glance with

00:38:04Virginia.

00:38:06How do you

00:38:06tell three

00:38:06nine-year-old

00:38:07girls that

00:38:07their mother

00:38:08might not

00:38:08even know

00:38:09they're safe?

00:38:10That she

00:38:10might be

00:38:10so traumatized

00:38:11by years

00:38:12of hiding

00:38:12that she's

00:38:13afraid to

00:38:13return?

00:38:14We're

00:38:15looking for

00:38:15her,

00:38:16Marcus said

00:38:17finally.

00:38:18She's been

00:38:18hiding for

00:38:19so long

00:38:19she might

00:38:20not know

00:38:20it's safe

00:38:20to come

00:38:21home yet.

00:38:22Hope stood

00:38:22abruptly,

00:38:23clutching her

00:38:24birth certificate.

00:38:25Then we have

00:38:26to find her

00:38:26ourselves.

00:38:28Sweetheart,

00:38:28it's not

00:38:29that simple.

00:38:30Yes,

00:38:30it is,

00:38:32Grace interrupted,

00:38:33her voice

00:38:34carrying a

00:38:34determination that

00:38:35reminded Marcus

00:38:36strongly of

00:38:36Amelia.

00:38:37If she's our

00:38:38real mama and

00:38:39you're our

00:38:39real daddy,

00:38:40then we're a

00:38:40real family.

00:38:41Real families

00:38:42don't give up

00:38:43on each other.

00:38:43Faith wiped

00:38:45her tears

00:38:45and stood

00:38:46beside her

00:38:46sisters.

00:38:48In my

00:38:48dreams,

00:38:49she always

00:38:49looks so

00:38:50sad.

00:38:51She needs

00:38:51to know

00:38:52we're okay.

00:38:53Virginia.

00:38:55Struggled to

00:38:55her feet,

00:38:56her old

00:38:56bones

00:38:57protesting.

00:38:58Girls,

00:38:59finding people

00:38:59who don't

00:39:00want to be

00:39:00found is

00:39:00very difficult.

00:39:02But Elena

00:39:03found us,

00:39:04Hope pointed

00:39:05out logically.

00:39:06She's really

00:39:07good at

00:39:07finding people.

00:39:09Marcus

00:39:09looked at

00:39:10his three

00:39:10daughters,

00:39:10because seeing

00:39:11those birth

00:39:12certificates had

00:39:13erased any

00:39:13lingering doubt

00:39:14and realized

00:39:16they were

00:39:16right.

00:39:17The girls

00:39:18deserved to

00:39:19be part of

00:39:19the search

00:39:19for their

00:39:20mother.

00:39:21They deserved

00:39:21to help

00:39:22heal the

00:39:22family that

00:39:23had been

00:39:23shattered by

00:39:23fear and

00:39:24violence.

00:39:26Okay,

00:39:26he said,

00:39:27making a

00:39:27decision that

00:39:28would change

00:39:28everything.

00:39:29We'll find

00:39:30her together,

00:39:30all of us.

00:39:32Grace threw

00:39:32her arms around

00:39:33his neck.

00:39:34Really?

00:39:36Really.

00:39:37But we have

00:39:38to be very

00:39:38careful.

00:39:39Your mama

00:39:40has been

00:39:40scared for

00:39:40a very

00:39:41long time.

00:39:42We need

00:39:43to show

00:39:44her it's

00:39:44safe to

00:39:44come home.

00:39:46As Virginia

00:39:46gathered the

00:39:47scattered

00:39:47documents,

00:39:48Faith asked

00:39:49quietly,

00:39:50Daddy Marcus,

00:39:52what if she

00:39:52doesn't

00:39:52remember us?

00:39:53What if

00:39:54hiding for

00:39:54so long

00:39:54made her

00:39:55forget how

00:39:55to be

00:39:55our

00:39:56mama?

00:39:57Marcus

00:39:57pulled all

00:39:57three girls

00:39:58into a

00:39:58fierce hug.

00:40:00Love

00:40:00doesn't

00:40:00forget,

00:40:01Faith,

00:40:01and your

00:40:02mama's

00:40:02love for

00:40:02you is

00:40:03stronger

00:40:03than

00:40:03any

00:40:03fear.

00:40:05He

00:40:05hoped

00:40:05he was

00:40:06right.

00:40:07Elena's

00:40:07plan

00:40:07was

00:40:07both

00:40:08simple

00:40:08and

00:40:09terrifying.

00:40:09We

00:40:11observe

00:40:11first,

00:40:12she

00:40:13explained as

00:40:13their car

00:40:14pulled into

00:40:14Millbrook's

00:40:15quiet main

00:40:15street.

00:40:16If it's

00:40:17really

00:40:17Amelia,

00:40:17we need to

00:40:18understand her

00:40:18routine,

00:40:19her emotional

00:40:20state,

00:40:20before making

00:40:21contact.

00:40:22The triplets

00:40:23pressed their

00:40:24faces against the

00:40:25windows studying

00:40:25the small

00:40:26Wisconsin town

00:40:27that might hold

00:40:27their mother.

00:40:29Marcus's heart

00:40:29hammered as

00:40:30they parked

00:40:31across from

00:40:31Millbrook Elementary

00:40:32School,

00:40:33where Amy

00:40:34Sinclair taught

00:40:35music to local

00:40:35children.

00:40:36There,

00:40:38Elena whispered

00:40:39pointing toward

00:40:39the school

00:40:40side entrance.

00:40:413.15

00:40:42PM,

00:40:42she should

00:40:43be.

00:40:44The words

00:40:44died in

00:40:44her throat

00:40:45as a

00:40:45familiar

00:40:46figure

00:40:46emerged

00:40:47from the

00:40:47building.

00:40:48Even

00:40:48with

00:40:48shorter,

00:40:49darker

00:40:49hair

00:40:50and

00:40:50clothes

00:40:50that hung

00:40:50loosely

00:40:51on her

00:40:51too-thin

00:40:52frame,

00:40:52there was

00:40:53no mistaking

00:40:53Amelia's

00:40:54graceful

00:40:54walk,

00:40:55the way

00:40:55she carried

00:40:56her music

00:40:56bag,

00:40:57the unconscious

00:40:57habit of

00:40:58tucking

00:40:58hair behind

00:40:59her left

00:40:59ear.

00:41:01Faith

00:41:01gasped

00:41:02audibly.

00:41:03That's

00:41:03her.

00:41:04That's

00:41:05the lady

00:41:05from my

00:41:05dreams.

00:41:07Mama.

00:41:08Hope

00:41:08breathed,

00:41:09her

00:41:09scientific

00:41:10skepticism

00:41:10evaporating

00:41:11instantly.

00:41:13Grace

00:41:13grabbed

00:41:13Marcus's

00:41:14hand.

00:41:15Daddy,

00:41:15it's

00:41:16really

00:41:16her.

00:41:17She

00:41:17looked

00:41:17sad,

00:41:18just

00:41:18like

00:41:19Faith

00:41:19said.

00:41:20Marcus

00:41:21felt

00:41:21tears

00:41:21streaming

00:41:22down

00:41:22his

00:41:22face

00:41:22as

00:41:23he

00:41:23watched

00:41:23his

00:41:23wife,

00:41:24alive,

00:41:25breathing,

00:41:26real,

00:41:27walk slowly

00:41:28toward a

00:41:28battered

00:41:29Honda

00:41:29Civic.

00:41:30She

00:41:30moved

00:41:31like

00:41:31someone

00:41:31carrying

00:41:32an

00:41:32invisible

00:41:32weight,

00:41:34her

00:41:34shoulders

00:41:34slightly

00:41:35hunched,

00:41:35her eyes

00:41:36constantly

00:41:36scanning for

00:41:37threats that

00:41:38no longer

00:41:38existed.

00:41:39She's so

00:41:40thin,

00:41:41Virginia whispered

00:41:42from the

00:41:42front seat,

00:41:43and look how she

00:41:44checks over her

00:41:45shoulder.

00:41:46She's still

00:41:46frightened.

00:41:48Amelia paused

00:41:49beside her car,

00:41:50pulling out a

00:41:50small notebook.

00:41:52Marcus recognized

00:41:53the gesture.

00:41:54She was making

00:41:54her daily safety

00:41:55checklist,

00:41:56the same

00:41:57compulsive

00:41:57behavior she'd

00:41:58developed after

00:41:59Derek's first

00:42:00threats.

00:42:01Can we

00:42:02talk to

00:42:02her?

00:42:02Grace asked

00:42:03urgently.

00:42:04Can we

00:42:04tell her

00:42:05we're

00:42:05safe now?

00:42:06Not yet,

00:42:07sweetheart,

00:42:08Elena said

00:42:08gently.

00:42:10Your

00:42:10mama has

00:42:10been running

00:42:11and hiding

00:42:11for four

00:42:12years.

00:42:13If we

00:42:13surprise her,

00:42:14she might

00:42:14run again

00:42:15before we

00:42:15can explain.

00:42:18They...

00:42:18followed

00:42:19Amelia's

00:42:19car at a

00:42:20distance to

00:42:20a small

00:42:21rental house

00:42:21on the

00:42:22outskirts

00:42:22of town.

00:42:23Through

00:42:23the windows,

00:42:25they could

00:42:25see her

00:42:25moving through

00:42:26rooms that

00:42:26looked

00:42:27temporary,

00:42:28unlived in,

00:42:28despite two

00:42:29years of

00:42:30occupancy.

00:42:31She's not

00:42:31living,

00:42:32Marcus realized

00:42:33painfully.

00:42:34She's just

00:42:34surviving.

00:42:36That evening,

00:42:37they checked

00:42:37into Millbrook's

00:42:38only motel

00:42:39while Elena

00:42:40gathered

00:42:40intelligence

00:42:41from locals.

00:42:42The school

00:42:42principal

00:42:43described

00:42:43Amy as

00:42:44an

00:42:44exceptional

00:42:44teacher

00:42:45but

00:42:45impossibly

00:42:46private.

00:42:48The grocery

00:42:48store clerk

00:42:49mentioned she

00:42:49bought the

00:42:50same basic

00:42:50items every

00:42:51week.

00:42:52Enough

00:42:52food for

00:42:52one person,

00:42:54nothing

00:42:54extra,

00:42:55nothing that

00:42:55suggested

00:42:56joy or

00:42:57comfort.

00:42:57She exists

00:42:58on the

00:42:58absolute

00:42:59minimum,

00:43:00Elena

00:43:00reported,

00:43:01like someone

00:43:02ready to

00:43:02disappear at

00:43:03a moment's

00:43:03notice.

00:43:05Faith sat

00:43:05on the

00:43:05motel bed,

00:43:07drawing pictures

00:43:07of the

00:43:08woman they'd

00:43:08seen.

00:43:10In my

00:43:10dreams,

00:43:11she always

00:43:12asks if

00:43:12Grace and

00:43:13Hope are

00:43:13safe.

00:43:14She's

00:43:15more worried

00:43:16about us

00:43:16than about

00:43:17herself.

00:43:18That's

00:43:18because she's

00:43:19your mama,

00:43:20Virginia said

00:43:20softly.

00:43:21Mothers

00:43:22never stop

00:43:22worrying about

00:43:23their children.

00:43:24Marcus

00:43:25studied Elena's

00:43:25reconnaissance

00:43:26photos of

00:43:27Amelia,

00:43:27noting the

00:43:28dark circles

00:43:29under her

00:43:29eyes,

00:43:30the way she

00:43:30held herself

00:43:31apart from

00:43:32other adults,

00:43:33the protective

00:43:33distance she

00:43:34maintained from

00:43:35the children she

00:43:36taught.

00:43:37Tomorrow is

00:43:38Saturday, he

00:43:39said finally.

00:43:40The school

00:43:40principal mentioned

00:43:41that Amy

00:43:41volunteers at

00:43:42the community

00:43:43center,

00:43:43teaching piano

00:43:44to underprivileged

00:43:45kids.

00:43:46What are you

00:43:47thinking?

00:43:48Elena asked.

00:43:50Marcus looked

00:43:51at his

00:43:51daughters,

00:43:52their eager

00:43:52faces,

00:43:53their desperate

00:43:54hope to

00:43:54reunite with,

00:43:55the mother

00:43:56they barely

00:43:57remembered but

00:43:57had never

00:43:58stopped loving.

00:43:59I'm thinking

00:44:00it's time for

00:44:00grace,

00:44:01hope,

00:44:01and faith to

00:44:02give a

00:44:02impromptu

00:44:02concert.

00:44:04Elena's eyes

00:44:05widened as

00:44:05she understood

00:44:06his plan.

00:44:08Marcus,

00:44:08that's

00:44:09incredibly

00:44:09risky.

00:44:11She's been

00:44:11hiding,

00:44:12from danger

00:44:13that no

00:44:13longer exists,

00:44:14Marcus replied.

00:44:15The only way

00:44:16to convince her

00:44:16it's safe to

00:44:17come home is

00:44:17to show her

00:44:18that her

00:44:18greatest

00:44:18treasures,

00:44:19her daughters,

00:44:20are safe,

00:44:21happy,

00:44:22and looking

00:44:22for her.

00:44:23Grace bounced

00:44:24excitedly.

00:44:25We could

00:44:26sing.

00:44:27We could

00:44:27sing the

00:44:28songs she

00:44:28taught us.

00:44:30And if

00:44:30she runs,

00:44:32Elena asked.

00:44:34Marcus smiled,

00:44:35feeling hope

00:44:36bloom in his

00:44:36chest for the

00:44:37first time in

00:44:37four years.

00:44:39Then we'll

00:44:39follow her,

00:44:41as many times

00:44:41as it takes.

00:44:43I didn't

00:44:43find my family

00:44:44to lose them

00:44:45again.

00:44:47Saturday

00:44:48morning found

00:44:48the Millbrook

00:44:49Community Center

00:44:50bustling with

00:44:50families gathering

00:44:51for their

00:44:52monthly talent

00:44:52showcase.

00:44:53Marcus and

00:44:54Elena positioned

00:44:55themselves

00:44:56strategically

00:44:56while Virginia

00:44:57helped the

00:44:58triplets prepare

00:44:58backstage.

00:45:00The plan was

00:45:01delicate.

00:45:02Let Amelia

00:45:03discover the

00:45:03girls naturally

00:45:04without feeling

00:45:05trapped or

00:45:05threatened.

00:45:07She's here,

00:45:08Elena whispered,

00:45:09nodding toward

00:45:10the side entrance

00:45:10where Amelia

00:45:11had just arrived

00:45:12with her piano

00:45:13students.

00:45:14Even in a

00:45:15room full of

00:45:15people,

00:45:16she maintained

00:45:17her protective

00:45:17distance,

00:45:18choosing a

00:45:19seat near the

00:45:19exit.

00:45:21Marcus's heart

00:45:22clenched.

00:45:22As he

00:45:23watched his

00:45:23wife scan

00:45:24the room

00:45:24with the

00:45:25hypervigilance

00:45:25of someone

00:45:26who'd lived

00:45:26in fear

00:45:27too long,

00:45:28she looked

00:45:28fragile,

00:45:29like a

00:45:29wild animal

00:45:30ready to

00:45:30bolt at

00:45:31the first

00:45:31sign of

00:45:32danger.

00:45:33The

00:45:33showcase

00:45:33began with

00:45:34various local

00:45:35children

00:45:35performing

00:45:36songs and

00:45:37skits.

00:45:38Amelia

00:45:38smiled

00:45:39genuinely

00:45:39for the

00:45:40first time

00:45:40they'd

00:45:40seen,

00:45:41clearly in

00:45:42her element

00:45:42watching young

00:45:44talent develop.

00:45:45But her

00:45:46expression remained

00:45:46guarded,

00:45:48controlled,

00:45:49and now,

00:45:50announced the

00:45:50community center

00:45:51director,

00:45:52We have

00:45:52some visiting

00:45:53young ladies

00:45:54who'd like

00:45:54to share

00:45:54a special

00:45:55song with

00:45:55us.

00:45:56Please

00:45:56welcome

00:45:57Grace,

00:45:57hope,

00:45:58and faith.

00:45:59Marcus held

00:46:00his breath

00:46:01as his

00:46:01daughters walked

00:46:02onto the

00:46:02small stage.

00:46:03In the

00:46:04audience,

00:46:04Amelia's

00:46:04attention

00:46:05sharpened

00:46:05immediately.

00:46:06Their

00:46:07identical

00:46:07appearances

00:46:08would catch

00:46:08anyone's

00:46:09eye.

00:46:10Grace

00:46:10stepped to

00:46:11the

00:46:11microphone

00:46:11with

00:46:12natural

00:46:12confidence.

00:46:14We'd

00:46:14like to

00:46:14dedicate

00:46:14this

00:46:15song

00:46:15to

00:46:15mothers

00:46:16everywhere,

00:46:17especially

00:46:17the ones

00:46:18who make

00:46:19sacrifices to

00:46:20keep their

00:46:20children safe.

00:46:21The opening

00:46:22notes of

00:46:23whispered dreams

00:46:23filled the

00:46:24community center,

00:46:25sung in

00:46:25perfect three-part

00:46:26harmony.

00:46:28Amelia's hand

00:46:28flew to her

00:46:29throat,

00:46:30her face

00:46:30going white

00:46:31as recognition

00:46:31struck.

00:46:33Hope's clear

00:46:34soprano carried

00:46:35the first verse,

00:46:36followed by

00:46:36Faith's alto

00:46:37weaving through

00:46:38the melody

00:46:38she'd perfected

00:46:39in her dreams.

00:46:41Grace's voice

00:46:42provided the

00:46:42harmonic,

00:46:43foundation,

00:46:45exactly as

00:46:45Amelia had taught

00:46:46them during

00:46:46their earliest

00:46:47years.

00:46:47In the

00:46:49audience,

00:46:50Amelia rose

00:46:51shakily to

00:46:51her feet.

00:46:53Other parents

00:46:53noticed her

00:46:54distress,

00:46:55but she was

00:46:55oblivious to

00:46:56everything except

00:46:57the three voices

00:46:58singing the

00:46:58lullaby she'd

00:46:59composed for

00:47:00them.

00:47:01As the song

00:47:02reached its

00:47:02climax,

00:47:03Faith stepped

00:47:04forward for

00:47:04the final

00:47:05verse,

00:47:06one that

00:47:06hadn't existed

00:47:07in the

00:47:07original

00:47:08composition.

00:47:09Mama,

00:47:10we've been

00:47:10waiting,

00:47:11through the

00:47:11darkness and

00:47:12the years.

00:47:13Daddy found

00:47:14us,

00:47:15kept us

00:47:15safe now.

00:47:16Come home.

00:47:17Dry your

00:47:18tears.

00:47:19The words

00:47:20shattered

00:47:21Amelia's,

00:47:22remaining

00:47:22composure.

00:47:24She moved

00:47:24toward the

00:47:25stage like

00:47:25someone in

00:47:26a trance,

00:47:26tears streaming

00:47:27down her

00:47:27face.

00:47:29Grace?

00:47:29She whispered,

00:47:31her voice

00:47:31barely audible.

00:47:33Hope?

00:47:34Faith?

00:47:36Grace broke

00:47:36away from the

00:47:37microphone and

00:47:37ran toward the

00:47:38edge of the

00:47:38stage.

00:47:40Mama,

00:47:40it's really

00:47:40you.

00:47:41The community

00:47:42center erupted

00:47:42in confused

00:47:43murmurs as

00:47:44three little

00:47:44girls leaped

00:47:45from the

00:47:45stage into

00:47:46the arms of

00:47:46a woman who'd

00:47:47been introduced

00:47:47as their

00:47:48local music

00:47:48teacher.

00:47:50But Amelia

00:47:50caught them,

00:47:51all three at

00:47:52once,

00:47:53falling to her

00:47:53knees as

00:47:54four.

00:47:54Years of

00:47:55separation

00:47:55collapsed into

00:47:56one moment of

00:47:57impossible

00:47:58reunion.

00:47:59My babies,

00:48:00she sobbed,

00:48:01holding them

00:48:01fiercely.

00:48:02My precious

00:48:03girls.

00:48:04I thought I'd

00:48:05never.

00:48:06How did you

00:48:06find me?

00:48:08Daddy Marcus

00:48:09never stopped

00:48:09looking,

00:48:10Hope said

00:48:11through her

00:48:11tears.

00:48:12He found

00:48:13us and kept

00:48:13us safe just

00:48:14like you

00:48:14wanted.

00:48:16Amelia's head

00:48:17snapped up,

00:48:18scanning the

00:48:18crowd with

00:48:19panic.

00:48:20Marcus?

00:48:20He's here?

00:48:22Marcus stepped

00:48:23forward slowly,

00:48:24his own face

00:48:24wet with tears.

00:48:26Hello,

00:48:26Amelia.

00:48:27Welcome home.

00:48:29The sight of

00:48:29him,

00:48:30older,

00:48:31grayer,

00:48:31but unmistakably

00:48:32the man she'd

00:48:33loved,

00:48:34made Amelia's

00:48:34breath.

00:48:35Catch.

00:48:36Derek,

00:48:36is he...

00:48:37in prison for

00:48:38twenty-five

00:48:39years?

00:48:40It's over,

00:48:40sweetheart,

00:48:41the danger

00:48:41is over.

00:48:42Amelia clutched

00:48:43their daughters

00:48:44tighter,

00:48:44her protective

00:48:45instincts still

00:48:46overwhelming.

00:48:47You're sure?

00:48:48You're absolutely

00:48:48certain?

00:48:49I'm certain,

00:48:51Marcus,

00:48:52said gently,

00:48:53kneeling beside

00:48:53his reunited

00:48:54family.

00:48:55The girls are

00:48:56safe,

00:48:57we're all safe,

00:48:58and we're never

00:48:59going to be

00:48:59separated again.

00:49:01As the

00:49:01community center

00:49:02audience realized

00:49:03they were witnessing

00:49:03something extraordinary,

00:49:05applause began,

00:49:07not for a

00:49:08performance but for

00:49:08a family finding

00:49:09their way home

00:49:10after years in

00:49:11the wilderness.

00:49:11Emilia looked

00:49:13into Marcus's

00:49:14eyes and

00:49:14whispered,

00:49:15the words he'd

00:49:17waited four years

00:49:17to hear,

00:49:19take us home,

00:49:19please,

00:49:20just take us

00:49:20home.

00:49:21Six months

00:49:22after that

00:49:22miraculous

00:49:23reunion in

00:49:24Millbrook,

00:49:25the Blackwood

00:49:25family stood

00:49:26together in

00:49:26Chicago's

00:49:27Symphony Center,

00:49:28preparing for

00:49:29a performance

00:49:29that would

00:49:30mark their

00:49:30complete

00:49:31transformation

00:49:31from tragedy

00:49:32to triumph.

00:49:36The families

00:49:37reunited.

00:49:38Benefit concert

00:49:39was Emilia's

00:49:40idea,

00:49:40a way to

00:49:41give back

00:49:42to organizations

00:49:42that help

00:49:43missing children

00:49:44find their

00:49:44way home.

00:49:46Grace,

00:49:46Hope,

00:49:46and Faith

00:49:47would perform

00:49:47alongside their

00:49:48mother for the

00:49:49first time in

00:49:49public,

00:49:50with Marcus

00:49:51proudly watching

00:49:52from the front

00:49:52row beside

00:49:53Virginia.

00:49:54Are you nervous,

00:49:55Mama?

00:49:56Faith asked,

00:49:58adjusting her

00:49:58emerald green

00:49:59dress,

00:50:00part of matching

00:50:00outfits Emilia had

00:50:01sewn for all

00:50:02three girls.

00:50:04A little,

00:50:05Emilia admitted

00:50:06though her smile

00:50:06was radiant.

00:50:08The months of

00:50:09therapy and

00:50:09healing had

00:50:10restored color

00:50:10to her cheeks

00:50:11and confidence

00:50:12to her posture.

00:50:13But when I

00:50:14look at you

00:50:15three,

00:50:16I remember

00:50:16that we can

00:50:17survive anything

00:50:17together.

00:50:19The reunion

00:50:20hadn't been

00:50:20without challenges.

00:50:22Emilia struggled

00:50:23with anxiety

00:50:24attacks and

00:50:24hypervigilance.

00:50:26The girls had

00:50:26to adjust to

00:50:27having a mother

00:50:28who was learning

00:50:28to be present

00:50:29instead of

00:50:30protective.

00:50:31Marcus worked

00:50:32to balance his

00:50:32roles as husband,

00:50:34father,

00:50:34and the patient

00:50:35anchor his

00:50:35family needed.

00:50:36But love

00:50:38and professional

00:50:38help had

00:50:39worked miracles.

00:50:41Dr. Patricia

00:50:41Nguyen,

00:50:42their family

00:50:43therapist,

00:50:43had guided

00:50:44them through

00:50:44the complex

00:50:45process of

00:50:46rebuilding trust

00:50:46and creating

00:50:47new traditions.

00:50:49Ladies and

00:50:49gentlemen,

00:50:50announced the

00:50:51concert host,

00:50:52please welcome

00:50:53the Blackwood

00:50:53family whose

00:50:54remarkable reunion

00:50:55reminds us that

00:50:56love never gives

00:50:57up hope.

00:50:58As they walked

00:50:59onto the stage,

00:51:00Emilia at the

00:51:01piano with grace,

00:51:02hope,

00:51:02and faith

00:51:03positioned.

00:51:04Beside her,

00:51:05the audience

00:51:06rose in

00:51:06spontaneous

00:51:07applause.

00:51:08Their story

00:51:09had captured

00:51:09Chicago's heart

00:51:10through carefully

00:51:11managed media

00:51:12coverage that

00:51:13respected their

00:51:13privacy while

00:51:14inspiring others.

00:51:15We'd like to

00:51:16perform a song

00:51:17we wrote together,

00:51:18Emilia said

00:51:19into the

00:51:19microphone,

00:51:20her voice

00:51:20steady and

00:51:21clear.

00:51:22It's called

00:51:22Finding Our

00:51:23Way Home,

00:51:24and it's

00:51:25dedicated to

00:51:25every family

00:51:26that refuses

00:51:26to stop

00:51:27believing in

00:51:28miracles.

00:51:28The opening

00:51:29melody was

00:51:31complex but

00:51:31beautiful.

00:51:32weaving together

00:51:33themes from

00:51:34whispered dreams

00:51:35with new

00:51:35harmonies that

00:51:36spoke of

00:51:36healing and

00:51:37hope.

00:51:38Grace's voice

00:51:39carried the

00:51:39opening verse

00:51:40about separation

00:51:41and fear.

00:51:42Hope's part

00:51:43celebrated the

00:51:44courage to

00:51:44keep searching.

00:51:46Faith's

00:51:46contribution spoke

00:51:47of love that

00:51:48transcends time

00:51:49and distance,

00:51:50but it was

00:51:50Emilia's verse

00:51:51that brought the

00:51:52audience to

00:51:52tears.

00:51:54Through the

00:51:54darkness,

00:51:55through the

00:51:56pain,

00:51:57love was

00:51:57calling us

00:51:58by name.

00:51:59Every prayer

00:51:59and every

00:52:00tear led

00:52:01us to this

00:52:02moment here.

00:52:03The final

00:52:04chorus brought

00:52:04all four

00:52:05voices together

00:52:06in perfect

00:52:06harmony,

00:52:07their individual

00:52:08melodies creating

00:52:09something more

00:52:09beautiful than

00:52:10any of them

00:52:11could achieve

00:52:11alone.

00:52:13As the last

00:52:13notes faded,

00:52:14the standing

00:52:15ovation seemed

00:52:16to last

00:52:16forever.

00:52:17Marcus wiped

00:52:19tears from his

00:52:19eyes overwhelmed

00:52:20by gratitude

00:52:21for the second

00:52:21chance they'd

00:52:22been given.

00:52:24Later at the

00:52:24reception,

00:52:25Elena Rodriguez

00:52:26approached with

00:52:27updates on the

00:52:27impact of their

00:52:28story.

00:52:28Seventeen

00:52:30families have

00:52:31reached out

00:52:31after seeing

00:52:32your concert

00:52:32footage,

00:52:33she reported.

00:52:34People who'd

00:52:35given up hope

00:52:35are starting

00:52:36to search

00:52:36again.

00:52:38Virginia,

00:52:39elegant in

00:52:39the navy

00:52:40dress Marcus

00:52:40had bought

00:52:41for the

00:52:41occasion,

00:52:42beamed with

00:52:42pride.

00:52:44Four,

00:52:45years ago I

00:52:45was a lonely

00:52:46old woman

00:52:46counting down

00:52:47my remaining

00:52:48days.

00:52:49Now I'm a

00:52:49grandmother to

00:52:50three brilliant

00:52:50girls and part

00:52:51of the most

00:52:52remarkable family

00:52:53I've ever

00:52:53known.

00:52:55Derek Hamilton's

00:52:56conviction had

00:52:56been upheld on

00:52:57appeal,

00:52:58but more

00:52:58importantly,

00:52:59his criminal

00:53:00network had

00:53:00been completely

00:53:01dismantled.

00:53:02The money he'd

00:53:03stolen had been

00:53:03recovered and

00:53:04donated to

00:53:05organizations supporting

00:53:06victims of

00:53:06corporate crime.

00:53:08Daddy Marcus,

00:53:09Grace said,

00:53:10tugging on his

00:53:11tuxedo sleeve.

00:53:12Mama says we can

00:53:13start planning our

00:53:14family vacation.

00:53:15She wants to

00:53:16see the ocean.

00:53:18Marcus lifted

00:53:19his daughter easily,

00:53:20marveling at how

00:53:21natural fatherhood

00:53:22felt now.

00:53:24The ocean sounds

00:53:24perfect,

00:53:25What do you

00:53:26think,

00:53:26Hope?

00:53:27Faith?

00:53:28Ready for your

00:53:28first beach

00:53:29vacation?

00:53:30Can we build

00:53:31sandcastles?

00:53:33Hope asked,

00:53:34her scientific

00:53:34mind already

00:53:35planning engineering

00:53:36projects.

00:53:37Can I bring my

00:53:38keyboard to

00:53:39compose beach

00:53:39songs?

00:53:40Faith added.

00:53:42Amelia joined

00:53:43them, sliding

00:53:44naturally under

00:53:45Marcus's free

00:53:45arm.

00:53:47We can do

00:53:47whatever makes

00:53:48us happy,

00:53:49she said simply.

00:53:50We've earned

00:53:50the right to just

00:53:51be a normal

00:53:52family.

00:53:53As they walked

00:53:53out of Symphony

00:53:54Center together,

00:53:55Marcus carrying

00:53:56Grace,

00:53:56Amelia holding

00:53:57Hope and

00:53:58Faith's hands,

00:53:59Virginia beaming

00:54:00beside them.

00:54:01Photographers

00:54:02captured an image

00:54:03that would become

00:54:03iconic.

00:54:05A family that

00:54:06had found their

00:54:06way back to

00:54:07why?

00:54:08Each other

00:54:09against impossible

00:54:10odds.

00:54:11The Blackwood

00:54:11family was finally

00:54:12completely home.

00:54:14Two years after

00:54:15their reunion,

00:54:16the Blackwood

00:54:17family gathered at

00:54:18Graceland Cemetery

00:54:18for a ceremony

00:54:19that would finally

00:54:20close the chapter on

00:54:21their years of

00:54:22separation and fear.

00:54:23They stood before

00:54:25a memorial stone

00:54:26Marcus had

00:54:26commissioned,

00:54:27not for the

00:54:28dead, but for

00:54:30the lost years

00:54:31they could never

00:54:31recover.

00:54:33In memory of the

00:54:34family we lost,

00:54:35in celebration of

00:54:36the family we

00:54:37found, read the

00:54:38simple inscription,

00:54:39surrounded by

00:54:40carved musical

00:54:41notes representing

00:54:42the songs that

00:54:43had guided them

00:54:43back, to each

00:54:44other.

00:54:45Eleven-year-old

00:54:46Grace placed

00:54:47white roses at

00:54:47the base of the

00:54:48stone.

00:54:48For the

00:54:49mama who had

00:54:50to hide and

00:54:50the daddy who

00:54:51had to search,

00:54:52she said solemnly.

00:54:54Hope added her

00:54:55flowers next.

00:54:56For the family

00:54:57that stayed strong

00:54:58even when we

00:54:58were apart.

00:55:00Faith's contribution

00:55:00was last.

00:55:02For the love

00:55:03that never gave

00:55:03up, even when

00:55:05everything seemed

00:55:06impossible.

00:55:08Amelia and Marcus

00:55:09stood hand in

00:55:10hand, watching

00:55:11their daughters

00:55:11honor both their

00:55:12pain and their

00:55:13triumph, with the

00:55:14wisdom of children

00:55:14who'd learned that

00:55:15love is stronger

00:55:16than fear.

00:55:17I never thought

00:55:18I'd be grateful

00:55:19for those terrible

00:55:20years, Amelia

00:55:21said quietly, but

00:55:23they taught us

00:55:24what truly matters.

00:55:25Not the time we

00:55:26lost, but the

00:55:27time we've been

00:55:28given.

00:55:28The memorial

00:55:29service was

00:55:30interrupted by

00:55:30Elena Rodriguez,

00:55:31who approached,

00:55:33with news that

00:55:33would provide the

00:55:34final piece of

00:55:35justice they'd been

00:55:35waiting for.

00:55:36Derek Hamilton

00:55:37died in prison

00:55:38this morning, she

00:55:39announced gently.

00:55:40Heart attack,

00:55:41natural causes.

00:55:43Marcus felt no

00:55:44satisfaction in the

00:55:45news, only relief

00:55:46that the shadow

00:55:47over their family

00:55:48was finally gone

00:55:48forever.

00:55:50His victims can

00:55:51rest easy now, he

00:55:53said simply.

00:55:55Virginia, now 74

00:55:56and vibrant, squeezed

00:55:57his arm.

00:55:59Some stories end

00:56:00with revenge, but

00:56:01ours ends with

00:56:02redemption.

00:56:03That afternoon, they

00:56:04returned to the

00:56:05brownstone that had

00:56:06become their true

00:56:07home.

00:56:08The walls were

00:56:09covered with family

00:56:10photos spanning the

00:56:11past two years.

00:56:12Birthday parties,

00:56:13school concerts,

00:56:14family vacations,

00:56:15quiet moments of

00:56:16ordinary happiness

00:56:17that had once

00:56:18seemed impossible.

00:56:21Amelia sat at the

00:56:21piano, playing

00:56:23softly while the

00:56:23girls did homework

00:56:24at the kitchen

00:56:25table.

00:56:26Marcus worked in

00:56:27his study on the

00:56:27Blackwood Foundation,

00:56:29the non-profit

00:56:30organization they'd

00:56:31created to help

00:56:31separated families

00:56:32reunite.

00:56:34Daddy Marcus,

00:56:36Faith called from

00:56:36the kitchen.

00:56:37Can you help me

00:56:38with my composition

00:56:39homework?

00:56:40I'm writing a song

00:56:41about second

00:56:42chances.

00:56:44Marcus smiled,

00:56:45remembering when

00:56:46the house had been

00:56:46silent except for

00:56:47the echo of his

00:56:48own loneliness.

00:56:49Now it rang with

00:56:50life, laughter, and

00:56:51the constant sound

00:56:52of three bright

00:56:53minds exploring

00:56:54their world.

00:56:56What's the

00:56:56assignment?

00:56:57He asked, settling

00:56:58beside his youngest

00:56:59daughter.

00:57:01We have to write

00:57:01about something that

00:57:02changed our family.

00:57:04I chose thee, day

00:57:05you heard us

00:57:06singing and decided

00:57:06to find out who

00:57:07we were.

00:57:08Marcus looked at

00:57:09the music Faith

00:57:10had already written,

00:57:11complex harmonies

00:57:12that reminded him

00:57:13strongly of Amelia's

00:57:14style, but with an

00:57:16originality that was

00:57:17entirely her own.

00:57:18You know what I

00:57:19think, he said,

00:57:20studying her

00:57:20composition.

00:57:21I think you didn't

00:57:23choose that moment.

00:57:24I think that moment

00:57:25chose all of us.

00:57:27That evening, as

00:57:29they gathered for

00:57:30dinner, a daily

00:57:31tradition Amelia had

00:57:32instituted to ensure

00:57:33they never took

00:57:35togetherness for

00:57:36granted, Grace

00:57:37made an announcement

00:57:38that surprised

00:57:38everyone.

00:57:39Hope and Faith

00:57:40and I have been

00:57:41talking, she said

00:57:42with her characteristic

00:57:43seriousness.

00:57:44We want to change

00:57:45our last names

00:57:46officially, to

00:57:47Blackwood Stone.

00:57:49Virginia's eyes

00:57:50filled with tears.

00:57:52Girls, you don't

00:57:53need to-

00:57:54Yes, we do.

00:57:55Hope interrupted.

00:57:57You saved us just

00:57:58as much as Daddy

00:57:59Marcus did.

00:58:00You're our family

00:58:01too.

00:58:02Marcus reached

00:58:03across the table

00:58:04to squeeze

00:58:04Virginia's weathered

00:58:05hand.

00:58:05What do you say,

00:58:07Grandma Virginia?

00:58:08Ready to be a

00:58:09Blackwood Stone

00:58:09officially?

00:58:11I'd be honored,

00:58:12Virginia whispered.

00:58:14As they finished

00:58:15dinner and prepared

00:58:16for their evening

00:58:16routines, Marcus

00:58:18marveled at the

00:58:19fullness of his

00:58:19life.

00:58:20The emptiness that

00:58:22had consumed him

00:58:22for four years had

00:58:24been replaced by

00:58:25something richer than

00:58:26he'd ever imagined

00:58:27possible.

00:58:28Tomorrow would mark

00:58:29exactly three years

00:58:30since that rainy

00:58:31afternoon when three

00:58:33little girls singing

00:58:34on a street corner

00:58:35had changed his

00:58:35world forever.

00:58:37It seemed fitting

00:58:38that they'd spend

00:58:39it preparing for

00:58:39the biggest celebration

00:58:40of their lives,

00:58:42renewing vows that

00:58:43had never truly

00:58:44been broken,

00:58:45just temporarily

00:58:46interrupted by fear

00:58:47and circumstance.

00:58:49Three years to the

00:58:50day since Marcus

00:58:51first heard three

00:58:52little girls singing

00:58:53whispered dreams on

00:58:54a Chicago street

00:58:55corner, the Blackwood

00:58:56family stood together

00:58:57in the conservatory of

00:58:59their Lincoln Park

00:58:59home, surrounded by

00:59:01two hundred guests

00:59:02who had become part

00:59:03of their extended

00:59:04family.

00:59:05The vow renewal

00:59:06ceremony was Amelia's

00:59:08idea, but it had

00:59:09grown into something

00:59:10much larger, a

00:59:11celebration not just

00:59:12of their marriage

00:59:13but of a family

00:59:14that had refused to

00:59:15let fear win.

00:59:17Grace, hope, and

00:59:18faith, now twelve

00:59:19years old and radiating

00:59:21confidence, served as

00:59:22co-maids of honor.

00:59:24There, matching

00:59:25lavender dresses were

00:59:26complimented by the

00:59:27silver lockets Marcus

00:59:28had given them, each

00:59:30containing photos of

00:59:31the entire family,

00:59:33including Virginia, whom

00:59:34they'd legally adopted

00:59:35as their grandmother.

00:59:37Friends and family, began

00:59:39Reverend Patricia

00:59:40Morrison, the minister

00:59:41who'd counseled them

00:59:42through their reunion.

00:59:44We gather today to

00:59:45witness something

00:59:45extraordinary.

00:59:47Not just the renewal of

00:59:48marriage vows, but the

00:59:50celebration of love that

00:59:51survived.

00:59:52Separation, fear that

00:59:54transformed into courage

00:59:55and a family that proved

00:59:56stronger together than

00:59:57apart.

00:59:58Virginia, resplendent in

01:00:00deep purple silk, beamed

01:00:02from the front row.

01:00:04At seventy-five, she had

01:00:05become the heart of their

01:00:06home, teaching the girls

01:00:08to cook, sharing stories

01:00:10of their mother's

01:00:10childhood, and providing

01:00:12the steady wisdom that

01:00:13anchored their sometimes

01:00:15chaotic household.

01:00:17Elena Rodriguez sat

01:00:18nearby with her own

01:00:19family, including the

01:00:20daughter she'd adopted

01:00:21after being inspired by the

01:00:23Blackwood story.

01:00:25Behind them, Rosa from

01:00:26the old neighborhood wiped

01:00:28tears from her eyes,

01:00:29remembering the scared

01:00:30little girls who used to

01:00:31sing for survival.

01:00:34Marcus, Reverend Morrison

01:00:35continued, please share

01:00:38your vows.

01:00:39Marcus looked into

01:00:40Amelia's eyes, no longer

01:00:42haunted by fear, but

01:00:44bright with joy and

01:00:45possibility.

01:00:47Four years ago, I

01:00:48thought I'd lost you

01:00:48forever.

01:00:50What I didn't know was

01:00:50that love doesn't die just

01:00:52because we can't see it.

01:00:54Our daughters carried your

01:00:55music in their hearts, and

01:00:56through them, you led me

01:00:58back to hope.

01:00:59He paused, his voice

01:01:01thick, with emotion.

01:01:04Today I promise not just

01:01:06to love you, but to never

01:01:07forget that miracles happen

01:01:08when we refuse to give up.

01:01:11You taught me that sometimes

01:01:12the longest way home is the

01:01:14only way that matters.

01:01:16Amelia's response came

01:01:17through tears of happiness.

01:01:19Marcus, you could have

01:01:20accepted that our family

01:01:21was gone.

01:01:22Instead, you listened to

01:01:23your heart when it

01:01:24recognized our daughter's

01:01:25voices.

01:01:26You built a home big

01:01:27enough for all of us,

01:01:29including the woman who

01:01:30helped hide me from

01:01:30danger.

01:01:32She glanced at

01:01:33Virginia, then back at

01:01:34Marcus.

01:01:35I promise to never let

01:01:37fear steal our joy again.

01:01:39I promise to trust in the

01:01:41love that brought us back

01:01:42together, and I promise to

01:01:44spend every day grateful for

01:01:46the second chance we've been

01:01:47given.

01:01:48When they exchanged rings,

01:01:51new ones engraved with

01:01:52musical notes from

01:01:53whispered dreams, there

01:01:55wasn't a dry eye in the

01:01:56conservatory.

01:01:57And now, announced

01:01:59Reverend Morrison with a

01:02:00smile, our renewed family

01:02:02has prepared a special

01:02:03performance.

01:02:04Grace stepped to the

01:02:05microphone they'd

01:02:06positioned beside Amelia's

01:02:07grand piano.

01:02:09Three years ago, we were

01:02:10three scared little girls

01:02:12singing for money to help

01:02:13pay medical bills.

01:02:14Today, we're performing

01:02:16to celebrate the love that

01:02:17found us and brought us

01:02:18home.

01:02:19The opening notes of their

01:02:21new composition filled the

01:02:22conservatory.

01:02:24Dreams Come True was a

01:02:25musical autobiography,

01:02:27beginning with the lonely,

01:02:28searching melody that

01:02:29represented their years of

01:02:31separation, building through

01:02:32the recognition and

01:02:33reunion, and culminating in

01:02:35the joy-filled harmony

01:02:36they'd achieved together.

01:02:39Amelia's piano provided the

01:02:40foundation while Grace's

01:02:41soprano soared, above her

01:02:43sister's voices in the complex

01:02:45arrangement they'd spent

01:02:46months perfecting.

01:02:47Hope's scientific precision

01:02:48created mathematical beauty

01:02:50in her harmonies, while

01:02:52Faith's natural musicality

01:02:53added emotional depth that

01:02:55left the audience breathless.

01:02:57But the most moving moment

01:02:58came when Marcus joined them

01:03:00for the final verse, his

01:03:02untrained but heartfelt voice

01:03:04adding the bass line that

01:03:05completed their family

01:03:06harmony.

01:03:08Love never left us.

01:03:09Though we lost our way,

01:03:11music brought us home again.

01:03:12Now every night and every day

01:03:14we're together until the end.

01:03:15As the last notes faded, the

01:03:18conservatory erupted in applause

01:03:20that seemed to last forever.

01:03:22Marcus pulled his wife and

01:03:23daughters into a group embrace

01:03:24while Virginia dabbed her eyes

01:03:26with the handkerchief Elena had

01:03:28thoughtfully provided.

01:03:30Later, as the reception wound down

01:03:32and guests shared stories of their

01:03:34own family reunions inspired by the

01:03:36Blackwood story, Marcus found

01:03:38himself on the garden terrace with

01:03:40Amelia, watching their daughters

01:03:42teach other children the steps to a

01:03:44dance Virginia had choreographed.

01:03:46Do you ever wonder what would have

01:03:48happened if I hadn't stopped at that

01:03:49red light?

01:03:50Marcus asked, his arm around his

01:03:52wife's waist.

01:03:53Amelia smiled, leaning into his

01:03:55warmth.

01:03:56I think we would have found each other

01:03:58somehow.

01:03:59Love that strong doesn't...

01:04:01give up easily.

01:04:03Through the windows they could see

01:04:05Faith at the piano, Grace and Hope

01:04:07flanking her as they played for their

01:04:08guests.

01:04:10Virginia conducted from her chair,

01:04:11her face glowing with pride and

01:04:13contentment.

01:04:15The foundation is funding 12 new

01:04:17reunion cases this month, Amelia

01:04:19reported.

01:04:20Elena says our story has given people

01:04:22hope who'd given up years ago.

01:04:25Marcus nodded, thinking of the letters

01:04:27they received weekly from families

01:04:28refusing to stop searching for their

01:04:30missing loved ones.

01:04:32The Blackwood Foundation had become a

01:04:34beacon for those who believed in the

01:04:35impossible.

01:04:36Daddy Marcus!

01:04:38Mama Amelia!

01:04:39Faith called from the conservatory.

01:04:40Come sing with us!

01:04:43As they rejoined their family and

01:04:44friends for one last song, Marcus

01:04:47reflected on the journey that had

01:04:49brought them to this moment.

01:04:51A business empire built on cold

01:04:52profit had been transformed into a

01:04:54foundation built on love.

01:04:56Three little girls singing for

01:04:58survival had become confident young

01:04:59women using their talents to

01:05:01inspire others, and a marriage

01:05:03seemingly destroyed by violence had

01:05:05been reborn stronger than ever.

01:05:07The evening ended with all 200 guests

01:05:10joining voices in dreams come true, the

01:05:13song that had become an anthem for

01:05:14families everywhere who refused to

01:05:16give up hope.

01:05:18Standing in the center of it all,

01:05:20surrounded by the people he loved

01:05:21most, Marcus Blackwood finally

01:05:23understood what Amelia had always

01:05:25known.

01:05:25some families have to be lost before

01:05:28they can truly be found.

01:05:29.

01:05:30.

01:05:49.

01:05:51.
