00:00I don't know what's coming over me
00:03And I'm looking at me now if I'm ready
00:05The moment I'm done with everything
00:09Don't mean it's like that I'm trying to tell me
00:13I'm waiting, I feel amazing
00:16It's turning to a few before I play it
00:20I saw a problem, I had to change it
00:23I had left my side in this bracket
00:27Waterless, waterless
00:28Waterless, waterless
00:32Waterless, waterless
00:35Waterless, waterless
00:38Waterless, waterless
00:40Waterless, waterless
00:43Waterless
00:44Waterless, waterless
00:46Waterless, waterless
00:48Waterless
00:51Waterless, waterless
00:51Waterless, waterless
00:52Waterless, waterless
00:53Waterless, waterless
00:59Someone forget me, oh you need me
01:05I had to break it, it'd be a pain in it
01:09And turn it to a cure for my pain
01:12I saw a smile, I had to change
01:15I left my sadness and rising
01:18Porcelain, porcelain
01:22You said you don't want like porcelain, porcelain
01:28You said you don't want like porcelain
01:35I had to break it, it'd be a pain in it
01:38Porcelain, porcelain
01:42You'd love to have my hair, but I've been
01:46You're mad and I'm a kid
01:48You're still mad and I was ever could
01:51I really took it, it'd be a pain in it
02:20My mom is a lunatic retard beauty.
02:22My dad is the only one who is devoted to her.
02:25Until a fleet of black cars rushed into the town.
02:28My mom suddenly recovered her sanity.
02:31Next morning, my father's body was found.
02:34And my mother was gone with those black cars.
02:36The neighbors are furious.
02:38They're calling her a heartless monster.
02:40A disloyal wife who abandoned her savior.
02:42But they're wrong.
02:44I tipped them off.
02:45And I'm the one who killed my father.
02:47I always see my dad.
02:49Grinning, he buckled his belt.
02:50He stepped out of their bedroom.
02:52I scrambled into the corner of the basement.
02:55The next moment, he'll kick at my door.
02:58He barked at me.
02:59I rushed over immediately.
03:01My parents' room stank of filth.
03:03Mom was lying there in the mess.
03:05She was staring blankly at the ceiling.
03:07Looked like a corpse.
03:09My heart ached just looking at her.
03:11Her face was smooth and soft.
03:13But her private parts were covered in dark bruises.
03:15Dad hides his inner beast from everyone.
03:18No one knows what he does to her.
03:20I prepped the water, just the right temp.
03:22I gently started wiping her body down.
03:25I touched the marks on her thigh.
03:27And she screamed.
03:30Mom, please!
03:31Don't scream!
03:32Dad hears he'll beat you!
03:34Suddenly, I heard an axe hitting wood in the yard.
03:39Like he was carving into my heart.
03:41Mom choked back her scream instantly.
03:43The gate creaked.
03:45It was our neighbor, Betty.
03:46Is Elise okay?
03:47It's too hot.
03:48I wanted to wash her down.
03:50She refused.
03:50Now she's throwing a fit.
03:51You're far too good to her.
03:52It's a pity she doesn't understand.
03:54What are you building?
03:55A special chair to make her more comfortable while bathing.
03:58You're amazing.
03:59She's so lucky.
04:00Inside, my mom and I shared a cold shiver.
04:02It wasn't a normal chair.
04:04It was a torture device fitted with shackles.
04:06Our back room is full of these gifts.
04:09Swings and rocking horses to please her.
04:11The town thinks he's trying to please his mad wife.
04:14I'm the only one who knows what they're really for.
04:16There were so many nights he'd get drunk.
04:18I watched the horror through the cracked door.
04:21He'd tie my mom to a wooden horse.
04:23He whipped her until she was covered in blood.
04:25She'd be drenched in a cold sweat, tears screaming.
04:28But with that rag in her mouth, she couldn't make a sound.
04:31My dad would just laugh.
04:34Who would have thought?
04:35A highborn lady.
04:37Now just a dog at my feet.
04:44A highborn lady.
04:46Now just a dog at my feet.
04:48My mom?
04:49A highborn lady?
04:50To the town, he was a saint.
04:52He kept her clean.
04:54He worked extra miles in the woods.
04:56He made sure we never went without.
04:58The neighbors would sigh and praise his loyalty.
05:01God knows what she did to deserve a man like him.
05:03But I always knew.
05:04Even as a little girl, I knew he wasn't worthy of her.
05:07My mom had a natural grace, even when she was lunatic.
05:10In her rare moments of calm, her beauty made my heart ache.
05:14But my father?
05:15I loathed him in my bones.
05:17I was disgusted by his rotting yellow teeth.
05:19I hated how he'd bite her neck like a rabid dog.
05:22The older I got, the more I saw his two-faced game.
05:25In public, he was the doting father.
05:27The man who treated me like livestock at home.
05:30I don't have my own bedroom.
05:32I'm forced to sleep on a pile of rags on the floor.
05:34He told the neighbors I was scared of the dark.
05:37She begged to sleep at the foot of my bed.
05:40He pretended to save crusts of bread for mom and me.
05:43But I caught him sneaking a cigar.
05:45He drinks expensive wine and eats like a king.
05:47Tell anyone, and I'll break your legs.
05:50In fact, even if he beat me, the town would just think I was a brat.
05:54They'd blame us for dragging down such a good man.
05:57That only made him more emboldened.
05:59But here's the biggest mystery of all.
06:01We're poor.
06:02My dad is just a forest ranger.
06:04Where did he get the money to pay for such luxuries?
06:07One night, I climbed the tree in the backyard.
06:09And I finally discovered his secret.
06:14He sneaked out of the room.
06:16He crawled under a rusted pickup truck.
06:18Then, he pulled out a small leather suitcase.
06:21The moonlight hit it and my jaw dropped.
06:23The box held stacks of cash and shining gold.
06:26He pulled out a wad of cash and pocketed it.
06:28Then, he hid the box back away.
06:30How could a poor ranger have such wealth?
06:33The next day, as soon as he left.
06:35I dug it up like a maniac.
06:38Mom, we're rich!
06:40We're leaving this hellhole!
06:41She saw the suitcase and froze on the spot.
06:43I pulled her, desperate to leave.
06:45But she gave me a wary glance.
06:47As if she had suddenly regained her sanity.
06:50Then, she totally lost it.
06:52She screamed and sent coins and cash everywhere.
06:55I scrambled to pick up the scattered treasure.
06:57Mom giggled, playing with the suitcase.
07:00Then a hidden compartment clipped open.
07:02Out fell a breathtaking diamond necklace.
07:04Mom pressed it to her cheek and whispered to it.
07:07She looked like she'd known it her whole life.
07:10The front gate.
07:11My blood turned to absolute ice.
07:13I shoved the suitcase under my bed.
07:17Ava?
07:17Is everything okay in there?
07:20Everything's fine.
07:21Mom just dropped a bowl.
07:23I waited for her footsteps to fade.
07:25I grabbed our bags and pulled Mom to run.
07:27But as I pushed open the front door, I froze.
07:30Betty wasn't gone.
07:31She was standing there with three other women.
07:33They stared at my bags with cold eyes.
07:36Where do you think you're going, Ava?
07:37Just taking Mom for some air.
07:39They stepped closer, blocking the path.
07:41Your mother is a lunatic and you're just a brat.
07:44You stay here until your father gets back.
07:47My heart sank.
07:48We were trapped.
07:49My mom was oblivious, laughing at a flower.
07:52I heard the women whispering behind me.
07:54No wonder her dad asked us to watch them.
07:56Turn your back and the crazy one tries to bolt.
08:00Poor man.
08:02He worked so hard for this family.
08:04My stomach churned.
08:05He turned the entire town into our prison guards.
08:08Minutes later, the door slammed open.
08:11My dad was home.
08:12His face was a mask of pure rage.
08:14He headed straight for the backyard stash.
08:17My heart was drumming against my ribs.
08:23Luckily, I put the suitcase back just in time.
08:25My dad came inside with a sickening smile.
08:28He locked every door and every window.
08:30Then, he dragged out that special chair.
08:36I don't care whose idea it was to run.
08:39Don't worry, Ava.
08:41I'm not gonna hit you.
08:43Bruises make the neighbors talk.
08:45Then, he lunged for my mom.
08:46He grabbed her hair and gagged her with a rat.
08:48He strapped her into that horrific chair.
08:51He mocked her while picking up a barbed whip.
08:53He ripped mom's pants off right before me.
08:55Her thighs were forced open.
08:57He struck her where the scars wouldn't show.
08:59Mom's eyes rolled back in pure pain.
09:01She couldn't even scream.
09:02I threw myself at his feet, sobbing.
09:05Stop!
09:06Please, dad!
09:07I'll never do it again!
09:08He kicked me away with cold, dead eyes.
09:11Every mistake you make, she pays the price.
09:14If she dies, it's on you.
09:16I tried to bang my head on the floor, begging.
09:19No more!
09:20No more!
09:21I'll do anything!
09:22Just stop!
09:24Every bruise you get is 10 more lashes for her.
09:27I didn't dare move a muscle.
09:29I curled up on the rags all night.
09:31Covering my ears tight, tears soaking the rags.
09:34For seven days, he never left her side.
09:37Once she was broken enough.
09:38He forced me out.
09:40Taking Ava out today?
09:42She needs a real future.
09:44I'm gonna find her a school in town.
09:46You think of everything.
09:49Ava, you're so lucky to have a father like him.
09:51Kept my head down, heart heavy as lead.
09:54He wasn't taking me to school at all.
09:56He feared I'd run away with mom again.
09:58He wanted to sell me off for good.
10:00Once we reached the city, he handed me over to a pedo.
10:03My dad leaned in close to the buyer.
10:05Take her far away.
10:07Somewhere she can never come back from.
10:09For a saint, he was incredibly greedy.
10:11He wouldn't drop the price by a cent.
10:13As soon as my dad turned around, the buyer spat on the ground.
10:16Serve you right, you poor bastard.
10:18It seemed the two weren't exactly happy partners.
10:20Maybe I still have a chance to save myself.
10:23I have a way for you to make more.
10:26It's a much better deal than keeping me.
10:28The man looked at me, stunned.
10:30I pulled out a crumpled photo.
10:32It was the diamond necklace from the box.
10:34Find the owner of this necklace.
10:37You'll be set for life.
10:39What's this?
10:41I saved a billionaire once.
10:44He promised me a life-changing reward.
10:47Then why didn't your father tell me?
10:49My father?
10:50He beats me every day.
10:53I'd rather die than let him touch a penny.
10:56The man's eyes flickered with greed.
10:58Fine.
10:59I'll take the gamble.
11:00But if you're lying, you're dead.
11:03My life is in your hands.
11:05We hit the streets of New York.
11:06We searched for days.
11:08Nothing.
11:11The man was losing his patience.
11:13His eyes got darker, more violent.
11:16Even I started to doubt myself.
11:18Was the necklace just stolen junk?
11:20He was about to grab my throat.
11:21Just then, a fleet of black luxury cars swept by.
11:25I stared at the lead car.
11:27There was a custom emblem on the door.
11:29My heart nearly stopped.
11:31It was an exact match.
11:33The same emblem from the necklace.
11:34The man saw the emblem on the cars.
11:36He looked like he'd seen a ghost.
11:38Are you sure this is the guy you saved?
11:41I just nodded, keeping my face like stone.
11:43Kid.
11:43His eyes wide with greed.
11:45We just hit the jackpot.
11:46That's the Scott family.
11:48The most powerful in the city.
11:50He started pacing, plotting his next move.
11:53But I didn't have time for a plan.
11:55I saw the lead black car and I just bolted.
11:57I sprinted right into the middle of the street.
11:59Tires screeched as the car slammed on its brakes.
12:02It stopped inches from my legs.
12:03The driver was swearing at me.
12:05Bodyguards grabbed my collar like I was trash.
12:08They were about to dunk me on the curb.
12:11Sir, I have something for you.
12:14A gift.
12:14The car stayed dead silent.
12:16Then, I did something that shocked everyone.
12:18I ripped the filthy shoe off my foot.
12:21I tore back the lining and dug into the sole.
12:24Out came the diamond necklace.
12:25The pedo's jaw hit the floor.
12:27No wonder he could never find the necklace.
12:29It was hidden in the shoe all along.
12:32Back home, I took a gamble.
12:33I bet my dad didn't know about the secret compartment.
12:36I was right.
12:37I hid it in my shoe weeks ago.
12:39Before we left, my dad searched me everywhere.
12:41He even checked through my hair.
12:43But he had to keep up his good man image.
12:45He would never send his daughter out barefoot.
12:47And so, I carried the necklace with me.
12:49On the road, that pedo searched my bag a thousand times.
12:52He'd even pick through my pockets while I was asleep.
12:55He had no choice but to take my word for it.
12:57That I'd lost the necklace.
12:59Only by delivering me in person.
13:01Could he get his reward from the tycoon?
13:29Where did you get this?
13:31I was dangling in the air, trembling.
13:34But I wasn't shaking from fear.
13:35I was shaking because of his face.
13:38He looked exactly like my mother.
13:40Tell me!
13:41His knuckles turned bone white.
13:43His eyes flashed with shock, joy, and desperate urgency.
13:47I bit my lip until I tasted blood.
13:49It belongs to my mom.
13:56It belongs to my mom.
13:58Her name is Elise.
14:00In our town, they just call her the lunatic.
14:04Hugh dropped me to my feet.
14:06He grabbed my shoulders, grip like iron.
14:09She's alive?
14:11Where is she?
14:12Is she...
14:12Is she okay?
14:14I couldn't hold back anymore.
14:15I broke down in tears.
14:19She's being tortured by a man named Sam Drew.
14:22A forest ranger.
14:25To the town, he's a saint.
14:27But at night, he has these chairs with shackles.
14:30Wooden horses with spikes.
14:32He tie her up.
14:33He beats her until she can't even scream.
14:36She was always out of her mind.
14:38Hardly ever sober.
14:39I told him everything.
14:41The gold hidden under the truck.
14:43The whip hitting her thigh right in front of me.
14:45How he was selling me to hide the truth.
14:47Hugh's face became a mask of lethal darkness.
14:50The pedo stood shivering on the curb.
14:52Hugh Scott?
14:54He wasn't thinking about a reward anymore.
14:56He was praying for his life.
14:58Hugh Scott is the most powerful man in New York.
15:01He is my mother's own brother.
15:05Years ago, the Scott family's eldest daughter was kidnapped.
15:08The world searched, but found nothing.
15:11Hugh Scott never stopped looking.
15:13He hoped to bring his sister home.
15:15Clear the flight path!
15:16We leave now!
15:17He threw me into the back of his car.
15:19He slammed the gas, the engine screaming.
15:22Hang on tight, Ava.
15:23He said dangerously.
15:24My heart was racing faster than the car.
15:27I had one thought.
15:28Hang on, Mom.
15:29I'm coming to take you home.
15:30Hugh ordered the cars to stop a mile out.
15:33Flanked by security, we approached the town on foot.
15:36The town was quiet and peaceful.
15:38Nobody knew a storm was about to hit.
15:40Our house was on the edge of town.
15:42From a distance, I could see him.
15:44My dad.
15:45He was in the yard, chopping wood.
15:47He was humming a little tune.
15:49He looked like an honest, hardworking man.
15:52He didn't look like the beast in the dark.
15:54I watched him swing that axe.
15:59My nails dug into my palms until I bled.
16:01Hatred grew like a poison vine in my heart.
16:04Do we take him now, boss?
16:05Not yet.
16:06I need to see Elise first.
16:07We circled to the back, staying low.
16:09And there she was.
16:11My mom.
16:11She was staring at a single wildflower.
16:14She wore a dazed smile.
16:16Disheveled and covered in dirt.
16:17Her beauty still shone through.
16:19My dad finished chopping the wood.
16:21He walked over and stroked her hair.
16:23Hungry, Elise?
16:24I'll go make dinner.
16:25To a neighbor, he looked like a saint.
16:27But I knew the malice behind that smile.
16:30My mom instinctively flinched away.
16:32A flash of malice crossed my dad's face.
16:35Afraid of the neighbors watching.
16:36He stifled his rage and headed inside.
16:39Hugh commanded.
16:40His voice was cold enough to freeze the air.
16:43Security swarmed the yard.
16:44Dad didn't have time to drop his axe.
16:47He was slammed face first into the dirt.
16:49Who are you?
16:50What are you doing?
16:51He shrieked.
16:51Hugh walked slowly into the yard.
16:54He looked down.
16:55Do you have any idea who I am?
16:56His eyes filled with pure disgust.
16:58Dad froze.
17:00He saw the emblem on Hugh's jacket.
17:02His face went gray.
17:03I don't know you.
17:05You've got the wrong man.
17:07The wrong man?
17:08I leapt over the wall and sprinted into the yard.
17:11You filthy animal!
17:12You've tortured my mom for 10 years!
17:15Still trying to lie your way out?
17:16The noise startled my mom.
17:18The flowers dropped from her hand to the ground.
17:21She looked at us with unfocused eyes.
17:23But then, her gaze shifted to Hugh.
17:25Her pupils finally snapped into focus.
17:27Her breath hitched and her lips began to tremble.
17:30She let out broken, jagged, desperate sounds.
17:33Elise!
17:34It's me!
17:35Your brother Hugh!
17:37I've come to take you home.
17:39My mom stared at Hugh for a long time.
17:41Tears traced paths down her cheeks.
17:43She reached out a trembling hand to his cheek.
17:46Then she jerked it back, terrified.
17:48She was terrified that this was all just a dream.
17:51Dad knew it was all over.
17:55I bought her!
17:56She's my property!
17:58She's my wife!
17:59I can do whatever I want with her!
18:01Hugh let out a cold, sharp laugh.
18:03He kicked my father back into the dust.
18:06You bought a daughter of the Scott family?
18:10You think you're actually worthy of her?
18:13He didn't just a find a crazy woman.
18:15He was the one who helped kidnap her.
18:17He knew exactly who she was.
18:19He wanted the money, and he lusted after her.
18:21He bought her for a few hundred dollars.
18:24And then posed as a simple forest ranger.
18:26He kept her as a pet in this remote town.
18:28He branded her a lunatic to keep them away.
18:31The gold coins?
18:32The expensive wine?
18:33It was his cut of the ransom money.
18:35He even went so far as to sell her jewelry.
18:37A crowd of neighbors had gathered by now.
18:39Betty and the gossip stood there, mouths open.
18:42They caught sight of the armed guards.
18:43They were too terrified to utter a sound.
18:46The truth hit the crowd like a physical blow.
18:48When they realized those gifts were torture devices.
18:51The silence was deafening.
19:01Betty's face turned a deep, burning red.
19:03She remembered every time she praised my father.
19:06Every time she called a monster a saint.
19:08She stepped forward, her head bowed low.
19:21One by one, the other women followed.
19:23The same ones who used to whisper behind our backs.
19:26They were crying now, begging for forgiveness.
19:29I stood there, watching them cry.
19:31I wasn't moved.
19:32I wasn't relieved.
19:34Their apologies meant nothing to me.
19:36For ten years, their kindness was our rope.
19:39They weren't just neighbors.
19:40They were his accomplices.
19:43Seize him.
19:44While two guards shackled my father.
19:46The team raided the back room.
19:48One by one, they dragged the horrors into the light.
19:51The chair with iron shackles.
19:53The spiked wooden horse.
19:54The toys he used to break a woman's spirit.
19:57The neighbors backed away in pure disgust.
19:59They weren't looking at a good man anymore.
20:02They were looking at a monster.
20:03Take him to New York.
20:05Hugh said coldly.
20:05I will make him pay the ultimate price.
20:08As they dragged him away, he lunged at us.
20:10His eyes were bloodshot and filled with hate.
20:13I'll kill you both!
20:14I'll come back as a ghost and haunt you!
20:17I didn't flinch.
20:18I stared him right in his yellowing teeth.
20:20That was too good for him, I thought.
20:23Hugh turned to my mother.
20:24He gently smoothed her matted hair.
20:26Elise.
20:27It's over.
20:29No one will ever hurt you again.
20:31Suddenly, her foggy eyes cleared.
20:33A sob ripped through her chest.
20:36Brother.
20:37She was never truly gone.
20:39She was just buried under 10 years of terror.
20:41The cage of madness finally shattered.
20:44Hugh swept my mother into his arms.
20:47Ava.
20:48Let's go.
20:49I didn't look back at the town.
20:50I just followed him out of that prison.
20:52For the first time in 10 years.
20:54I was free.
20:56I looked back one last time.
20:57The house looked small and pathetic in the sunset.
21:00This place holds all my pain and nightmares.
21:02I promised myself I'd never look at it again.
21:05But the nightmare wasn't finished.
21:07My father tried to fight his way out of the car.
21:09He was a cornered animal, dangerous and desperate.
21:13Hugh locked him in a warehouse until morning.
21:15I was lying in a soft hotel bed.
21:17But I couldn't sleep.
21:18His final words kept looping in my head.
21:21I'll come back as a ghost.
21:23Prison wasn't enough.
21:24A courtroom wasn't enough.
21:26When I closed my eyes.
21:27I saw the wooden horse and the blood.
21:29I heard my mother's muffled screams.
21:32I must put an end to his life.
21:34At 3am, I slid out of bed.
21:36I slipped past the guards like a shadow.
21:38I walked toward the warehouse west of town.
21:41My heart was a cold, steady beat.
21:43I wasn't scared anymore.
21:44For the first time, I wasn't the prey.
21:47I gripped a dagger tightly in my hand.
21:50If anyone tried to stop me, I was ready.
21:52The warehouse wasn't a fortress.
21:54The guard was slumped in his chair, snoring.
21:57I crept past him like a ghost.
21:59I climbed the back fence and dropped into the yard.
22:02Then I found the room where he was held.
22:04I pulled a thin wire from my pocket.
22:06I stole this from that pedo.
22:08Now it finally comes in handy.
22:10I slid the wire into the lock.
22:11The door creaked open.
22:13My father was curled up in the corner.
22:15His jagged snoring filled the space.
22:17I stepped inside.
22:19Maybe he felt the hatred radiating off me.
22:21His eyes snapped open.
22:23My father's eyes snapped open.
22:26He saw me standing in the moonlight.
22:27A twisted, ugly grin spread across his face.
22:30Are you here to save your daddy?
22:31Or are you here to say goodbye?
22:33My eyes were as cold as the dagger in my hand.
22:36I'm here to finish it.
22:41You wouldn't dare.
22:43I'm your father.
22:44You carry my blood.
22:46Father?
22:47Did you forget what you did to us?
22:50Ava.
22:52Ava, wait.
22:53I'll be better.
22:53Just let me go.
22:55As he begged, the memories started playing.
22:57I saw the jagged scars on my mother's thigh.
23:00I thought of the nights on those rags.
23:02Tears of rage started to roll down my face.
23:05He saw my eyes and knew I wasn't bluffing.
23:08He lunged at me.
23:09He reached for the dagger in my hand.
23:11But I was ready and stepped aside.
23:13When it was over, I looked at my hands.
23:15They were hot and trembling.
23:17But not from fear.
23:18A massive weight finally lifted off my chest.
23:21It wasn't just blood.
23:23It was the end of a decade-long nightmare.
23:25I slipped back into the hotel before dawn.
23:27I lay in that soft bed, staring at the ceiling.
23:30Killing splashed through my mind like a movie.
23:33But I feel no regret at all.
23:34He didn't just hurt us.
23:36He stole our lives.
23:37He deserved to stay in that warehouse forever.
23:40The next day, father's body was found.
23:42The news hit the town like a lightning bolt.
23:45Some said he killed himself out of guilt.
23:47Others whispered the Scott family executed him.
23:50Hugh heard the news of my father's death.
23:52He sent his men to investigate.
23:54They found nothing.
23:55No fingerprints.
23:56No clues.
23:58Just a cold body in a dark warehouse.
24:00Hugh didn't ask questions.
24:02He was in a hurry to get a lease to New York.
24:04He gave one final order.
24:06Throw him in the river.
24:07The townspeople found him floating.
24:09They stood on the banks, pointing and cursing.
24:12They said he should rot in fucking hell.
24:14He is a depraved and monstrous beast.
24:17He drove a good woman into a raving lunatic.
24:19We boarded the private jet.
24:21My mother leaned into Hugh's steady embrace.
24:23For the first time, she looked, peaceful.
24:26Sometimes she'd whisper real words to us.
24:29I'm getting you the best doctors in the world.
24:31Hugh promised her.
24:33I sat by the window, watching the clouds.
24:35My mind was a storm of its own.
24:37From the hell of that small town.
24:39To the golden hope of New York.
24:41Our lives were about to change forever.
24:43But the scars on her body.
24:45And the shadows in my heart.
24:47Would never truly disappear.
24:49Finally, the wheels touched the ground.
24:51We have arrived in New York.
24:53We pulled up to the Scott estate.
24:55The massive iron gates were like a dream.
24:58Guarded by stone statues in the moonlight.
25:00A world away from the dirt floors of Oakwood.
25:03My mom stared out the window, confused.
25:05The new place felt strange to her.
25:07Hugh gave us an entire wing of the mansion.
25:09A private garden and a marble fountain.
25:12It was beautiful.
25:13The gardens.
25:13It was silent.
25:14It was everything we never had.
25:16The doctors arrived within the hour.
25:18The best specialists money could buy.
25:20The psychologist came out with a heavy face.
25:24Your sister lived a decade-long nightmare.
25:27The trauma is in her bones.
25:29I saw Hugh's jaw tighten.
25:30If you push too hard, she might slip away.
25:33I don't care about the cost.
25:34I don't care how long it takes.
25:36She will come back to us.
25:38And so, our new life began.
25:40Doctors came and went every day.
25:42Nurses served her the finest food on silver.
25:45Hugh never left her side.
25:46He tried to pull her back from the shadows.
25:48He tried to pull her back from the shadows.
