Short filmTranscript
00:00Georgina, say the wish.
00:13Timpia, what was that?
00:14Grandpa hasn't even been gone a week and you're already throwing a party?
00:18Karma's gonna catch up to you, you know.
00:22An adopted girl shouldn't be this mouthy!
00:25You brat, did you really have to ruin the mood?
00:27Get down here now!
00:42Uh-
00:43Where are you going?!
00:44Listen, don't think you can run off with Grandpa's inheritance.
00:47I don't want a penny of the inheritance.
00:49I only want to take the photo albums of Grandpa and me.
00:52Sure.
00:53You said that yourself. Everyone please bear witness.
00:55Why should Grandpa's albums be given to an outsider?
00:58I'd rather burn them than give them to you.
01:00Let's kick her out, everyone!
01:02No need.
01:02I'll leave on my own.
01:11My home!
01:12No, no, my home!
01:13This is a terrorist attack!
01:15It has to be!
01:16Dominic, this is all your fault!
01:18You should have kicked that jinx out sooner!
01:20Look at the mess she's brought on us!
01:22Oh my god, what a jinx!
01:23It must be that bitch is doing-
01:25I will not forgive her!
01:29Forget it.
01:30The most important thing right now is getting the albums back.
01:33Boss, I found it.
01:34Your albums.
01:35But the amber coat-
01:42Everyone, stay sharp!
01:43Mr. Hensley is coming tonight!
01:44Yes, sir!
01:57Good evening, Mr. Hensley
02:16Mr. Hensley, this way. Watch your step.
02:32Georgina?
02:33Grandpa's album is in Sweets 12. If you want it, go get it yourself.
02:52Little girl, stop struggling. Let us show you a little love.
02:56Disgusting.
03:04It's been a long...
03:17You're not playing the hero, are you? Pretty boy, get lost now, before you ruin my fun.
03:27Get lost.
03:39Get lost.
03:44Where did Georgina find this actor? He almost made the rescue scene believable.
04:11So, there really is a poison in this world that I've never seen before.
04:16Interesting. Looks like he's not someone Georgina sent. I've got to save him.
04:30Mr. Hensley! Mr. Hensley!
04:33Where are you, Mr. Hensley?
04:38This vial will suppress the poison in your body for now.
04:41Got stuff to deal with. Catch you next time.
04:48Mr. Hensley! Mr. Hensley!
04:54Any news?
04:55Mr. Hensley, the Amber Court footage is gone for good.
04:58No sign of the miracle hero so far.
05:00We've already posted a bounty on the dark web.
05:08This is the second time.
05:14This vial can cure you.
05:16This vial can cure you.
05:30This vial can cure you.
05:40Cynthia.
05:40Please forgive me.
05:42For the sake of the family's name, I forced you to stay all these years.
05:46Only on my deathbed did I learn you're a child of the Campbells in Highcrest.
05:52Go find your real family.
05:53May the rest of your life be free and at peace from Grandpa.
06:01Hello.
06:22Greetings, Cynthia.
06:26Welcome home, Cynthia.
06:29Cynthia!
06:30My darling, you're finally home.
06:33I'm your mother!
06:35Cynthia, I'm sorry I failed to bring you home all these years.
06:42Please don't cry, Mom.
06:45Come sit! Come here!
06:48Have a seat.
06:51Look.
06:52Our family photo.
06:55This one's your eldest sister, Faith.
06:58She's the president of the Central Trade Council.
07:03This is your second brother, Gabriel, the chairman of the Hamble Group.
07:07He's running the whole company now.
07:10Your third brother, Cody, is the chief researcher at the International Center for Rare Diseases.
07:16He's currently overseas for a conference.
07:19Your fourth brother, Ronald, is a champion swimmer who broke the world record.
07:24He's in pose training right now.
07:27Your fifth brother, Benson, is one of the top stars in the entertainment world.
07:31He's currently preparing for his concert.
07:33This is your sixth brother, James.
07:36You two are twins.
07:38He's in Pycrest University.
07:40He is working on a research project there.
07:42They're all away for now.
07:44But I've told them the good news.
07:46They'll be home soon.
07:47And you'll see everyone again.
07:49It's our fault for not protecting you.
07:51We're truly sorry.
08:01Grief weakens the spleen while sorrow harms the lungs.
08:04So many years of grief have quietly worn away Mom's health.
08:08I have to help her recover.
08:11Cynthia!
08:13You're finally back!
08:15This is your cousin Paula.
08:20She kept me company while you were gone.
08:24Cynthia, you're hurting me.
08:28I'm not the type to get too familiar with strangers.
08:31Cynthia, Paula's parents passed away.
08:34It was my decision to have your parents adopt her back then.
08:38Cynthia, I never meant to take your place.
08:40You don't blame me, do you?
08:42Paula, what are you saying?
08:45Amelia, now that Cynthia is home, you must treat them both fairly.
08:49Peace at home brings harmony in all things.
08:53Don't worry Mom, I definitely will.
08:57Mrs. Campbell!
09:04It's the Skylight Collection.
09:07They are designed personally by the renowned jeweler Sophia.
09:11Look at that brilliance and the way it's set.
09:14It's flawless.
09:16Flawless.
09:17The rubies in stock weren't vivid enough, so they had to use emeralds instead.
09:21Otherwise, it would have shone even brighter.
09:24This is my favorite foreign luxury brand.
09:26Thank you, Mom.
09:27This is a little gift I prepared for you, Cynthia.
09:30Look, I'll host a grand banquet for you next week.
09:33We'll make your identity public then, and officially welcome you back into the family.
09:39She just got home and already took what's mine.
09:42What was all my effort for these years?
09:44I won't let anyone take away what belongs to me.
09:49Did you see the girl they brought back yesterday?
09:51She looked so plain, and dressed worse than we do.
09:55You can tell she's from the countryside.
09:57I heard country folks carry all kinds of weird viruses.
10:01We'd better stay away from her.
10:03Paula wants me to teach that country bumpkin a lesson.
10:07Since she's paying, I need to make sure it's done beautifully.
10:11Mmm.
10:30What was that?
10:32Oh, Cynthia, I was cleaning.
10:34You came out so suddenly.
10:36We are very particular about cleanliness here, especially disinfection.
10:40We take that seriously.
10:42Disinfection, huh?
10:48Oh, she's killing me!
10:49Oh my gosh!
10:58That's way out of line!
10:59No matter what, you don't throw disinfectant in Jillian's face!
11:02What if it blinded her?
11:07Cynthia!
11:07What are you doing?
11:09Servant or not, she's still a person.
11:11If this gets out, they'll say we've no upbringing or class.
11:15You're the only one here with any manners.
11:17This country girl could never measure up to you.
11:19The first thing she does after becoming a rich young lady is start putting on airs.
11:24Utterly uncultured.
11:26Cynthia!
11:26Cynthia!
11:27I may be a maid, but I still have my dignity!
11:30You're arrogant, domineering, and cruel!
11:32I'm reporting this to Mrs. Campbell!
11:34Since when does being a servant make someone fair game for abuse?
11:38Cynthia, we all saw it.
11:39Jillian didn't mean any harm.
11:41You did go a little too far.
11:43Why don't you just apologize?
11:44It won't end well if Mrs. Campbell or old Mrs. Campbell hears about this.
11:49Cynthia, you should own up to your own mistake.
11:51We won't laugh at you.
11:52You ruined my fate, but you'll have to pay for it.
11:56Even the servants look down on you now.
11:58Let's see how you'll survive in this house after this.
12:02What's going on here?
12:05Mrs. Campbell!
12:08Cynthia, how did you sleep last night?
12:11I decorated your room myself.
12:13If you're missing anything or need something else, just tell me.
12:16I slept very well.
12:17Thank you, Mom.
12:18That's wonderful.
12:20Mom!
12:21Jillian accidentally splashed disinfectant on Cynthia while she was cleaning earlier.
12:25Cynthia got angry and threw it right back in Jillian's face.
12:28The disinfectant got into Jillian's eyes.
12:31We don't know if it'll leave any damage.
12:33Mrs. Campbell!
12:34I may be just a servant, but I earn my living with my own two hands.
12:39I have dignity, too.
12:41Since Cynthia came back, she's been bullying us non-stop.
12:44Mrs. Campbell, you must stand up for me!
12:46Mrs. Campbell.
12:47Just look at Jillian's eyes.
12:48They're so red.
12:49It's pitiful to see.
12:51Cynthia's really gone too far this time.
12:53Mrs. Campbell.
12:54Mom, maybe Cynthia should apologize to Jillian.
12:56Otherwise, it'll leave everyone feeling bitter.
12:59Mrs. Campbell.
13:01Cynthia, tell me what really happened.
13:04Okay, Mom.
13:05It was Jillian.
13:06She was waiting for me with disinfectant, trying to splash me.
13:10I only threw it back.
13:11Mrs. Campbell.
13:11tried to splash you on purpose?
13:14Paula, is that true?
13:18Maybe Cynthia just overreacted.
13:20I didn't see Jillian do anything like that.
13:23Besides, Jillian's worked here for years.
13:25What reason would she have to offend Cynthia?
13:28Matteo, pull up the surveillance footage.
13:31On it.
13:36Yeah.
13:44Matteo, take Jillian away. Give her some money for treatment.
13:48From now on, I don't want to see a single servant in this house who disrespects Cynthia.
13:53Understood, Mrs. Campbell.
13:55Mrs. Campbell, I didn't do it! I was only doing my job! I did nothing wrong!
14:00Mrs. Campbell, please don't fire me, Mrs. Campbell!
14:02Mom, Jillian's-
14:04Paula, you're too kind and too soft-hearted.
14:08Mom, I-
14:09All right. Call me on to Amelia from now on, okay?
14:13Cynthia's finally back. I don't want any misunderstandings, okay?
14:19Cynthia, I didn't know what you like to eat, so I had the kitchen make a little of everything.
14:23Come on in and have a taste.
14:28Mark my words, I'll destroy you at next week's banquet.
14:34Hey, what's up?
14:35The Hensleys just offered ten million on the dark web to hire the miracle healer to treat their young heir.
14:40Anyone with clues will be rewarded, too.
14:42Grandpa once told me the Hensleys did him a favor.
14:45All right, I'll take this case.
14:47Also, Highcrest University has sent hundreds of emails urging you to show up at the medical school as a guest
14:52professor.
14:52Ha ha ha.
14:54Um, just pretend you never saw those.
14:56Get lost! Where'd you weirdo come from?
14:58Pearl's Fire Manor is hosting VIPs today.
15:01You can't afford to upset them!
15:05I'm here at the Hensleys invitation.
15:07Go tell your superior that the miracle healer has arrived for the consultation.
15:12You?
15:12The miracle healer?
15:14I've seen plenty of invitations in my time, but none that look like a phone screen.
15:18At least put in some effort.
15:19Go!
15:19Get out of the way!
15:27Watch your head.
15:32There's tea and refreshments inside.
15:34Please, this way.
15:37Oh my god.
15:39He's fainted.
15:40Hey, don't touch him.
15:41You'll get blamed for it.
15:43Everyone, step back.
15:45He needs air.
15:49Hello 911.
15:50I'm at Pearl's Fire Manor's entrance.
15:52An elderly man has collapsed.
15:53Suspected heart attack.
15:54Please send an ambulance fast.
15:59Hey!
16:04You handled the first aid quite well.
16:07Your emergency response wasn't bad either.
16:15He was saved in time. No serious harm done.
16:21Thank you for your help today. I'm Cody Campbell. And you are?
16:24I'm...
16:25It's you.
16:26Mr. Spears?
16:28It's been three years.
16:30I've been looking for you for so long.
16:32Hey! When are you coming back to Highcrest University with me?
16:36Ha ha.
16:37Ha ha.
16:37Well, he's still unconscious.
16:39I'll be going now.
16:40Miracle Gila.
16:41Miracle Gila blesses you.
16:43Ha ha.
16:44Well, you had a sudden heart attack just now.
16:46Good thing I gave you emergency treatment.
16:48I'd say you owe me one.
16:50Don't bring up Highcrest University.
16:52It's a sore spot.
16:55I knew you looked familiar.
16:57You're the director of Highcrest Medical Academy.
17:00I actually attended one of your lectures before.
17:02Oh, Mr. Spears.
17:21It's you.
17:23You again?
17:24Finish the meds I gave you last time?
17:27Such a rare poison.
17:28He's practically the perfect test subject for my antidote research.
17:32The toxins are under control for now, but to completely clear the residue will take time.
17:38You must have burned through a mountain of rare herbs and treasures to stay alive.
17:43Can you cure the poison in me?
17:45Of course.
17:46What are you doing here?
17:48Those illegitimate brats are watching me.
17:51My poisoning must stay secret.
17:54I'm the Ericsson heir.
17:56Grandpa's old friend was hospitalized, so I came to visit.
18:02Give me your number.
18:03I'll contact you when I'm free.
18:07My god, there's no one in the whole city, no the whole world, bold enough to ask Mr. Hensley for
18:12his number like that.
18:14She's got nerves of steel.
18:19Kid, where did that girl just go?
18:21Find her for me!
18:23Well, I need to go now.
18:25I'll find you when I can.
18:27Hey.
18:33Did the miracle healer come by today?
18:35Mr. Hensley, we just got word.
18:36They backed out after agreeing to take the job.
18:39I see.
18:39Guess the rumors were true.
18:40They're unpredictable.
18:44Raise the fee tenfold and send another invitation.
18:47Let the miracle healer see we're serious.
18:50Understood.
18:51Mr. Hensley, Mr. Spears' ward is this way.
18:57Mr. Hensley, your grandfather just called.
19:00He said the Campbell's long-lost daughter has been found.
19:03He wants you to visit her when you can and maybe build a bond.
19:11Ooh.
19:13Ah.
19:15Ah.
19:20I'm poisoned and my days are numbered.
19:23I shouldn't drag her down with me.
19:25I'll find a time to visit them and end the engagement.
19:29Your grandfather will be furious if he learns you called off the marriage.
19:35Don't tell him, then.
19:39Don't tell him?
19:40Easier said than done.
19:43Mr. Erickson, follow me.
19:44The master is waiting ahead.
19:46So young.
19:48And she's already the heir to the century-old Royal Medical Guild.
19:54Miss, your guest has arrived.
19:59You're here.
20:00Take off your shirt.
20:05No need to be shy.
20:06No one else will come in.
20:08Upper body only.
20:21You look so pitiful and so obedient.
20:23Here, have some candy.
20:25Don't worry.
20:26It won't hurt.
20:28You look so pitiful and so obedient.
20:39Here, have some candy.
20:40Don't worry.
20:44Why are your muscles so tense?
20:47Why are your muscles so tense?
20:47You need to relax.
20:57Your breathing's uneven.
20:58You're feverish.
21:00You seem quite skilled at this kind of treatment.
21:09Just to be clear.
21:10I'm not after your body.
21:11To me, a patient is a patient.
21:14Guess I'm too ordinary to catch your eye.
21:17Don't belittle yourself.
21:19You're a bit better looking than most.
21:28This is a new formula I mixed just for you.
21:31Make sure you update me on the results.
21:33I'll take a moment.
21:34I'll text you the next treatment date.
21:37Did you ever save a little boy when you were a kid?
22:05See you later.
22:27I'll text you the next treatment.
22:27I'll text you the next test.
22:27I'll text you the next one.
22:27Bye!
