00:01You're my mom's family! Go save her! Please!
00:13Every time Wade dragged mom upstairs, the men outside started hollering.
00:18Look! Old bastard couldn't wait until nightfall!
00:23My mother was the most beautiful woman in Hollow Ridge.
00:26Her skin was pale as milk, smooth and flawless.
00:31She's been chained in the back shed since I could remember, muttered to herself, eyes unfocused.
00:37Wade said she was a wild bitch.
00:40Needed to be tied up, or she won't behave.
00:44The strange thing was, every few months, a plain black sedan parked at the edge of town.
00:50Whoever was inside never got out. They just sat there, watching our yard.
00:54When I asked Wade who it was, his eyes darted away.
00:58Worthless girl, stop asking questions!
01:01I was too scared to say more and hid behind mom.
01:04Mom wasn't crazy all the time.
01:05Since I could remember, she had only been clear-headed once, when she told me to run.
01:11Harper, get out. Go to Preston, find someone new.
01:15But before she could finish, Wade came out and dragged her back into the side room.
01:20After that, mom never woke up again.
01:23And that black sedan never came back.
01:26Until New Year's Day, the sedan returned.
01:29Through the door crack, I saw a man in expensive clothes.
01:32Been watching her real good. Don't you worry.
01:35As I listened, my heart started racing, because I had discovered Wade's secret.
01:40The moment the man left, Wade went to the main room.
01:44He stands by the west wall, fingers scratching and searching along the plaster.
01:49I hold my breath.
01:51When Wade left, I slip over to where he was standing.
01:55There's nothing here but a faded picture tacked to the wall.
01:57I feel around behind the picture, pressed gently.
02:00The spot right behind the picture is hollow.
02:03I lift the corner of the picture.
02:05Behind it is a hole.
02:07I reach in and my fingers touch something cold.
02:10A small wooden box.
02:12Inside is a thick stack of cash.
02:15I count it.
02:17Two thousand dollars.
02:19I've never seen this much money.
02:21Wade's lazy.
02:23Never works.
02:24Never earns anything.
02:25Only Grandma Martha goes to the market.
02:27To sell wilted vegetables for a few dollars.
02:30This much cash.
02:32Where did Wade get it?
02:33I feel along the inside of the box.
02:36There's another layer at the bottom.
02:37I pry it open.
02:39A yellowed photograph slips out.
02:42The photo shows a family of four standing in front of a white columned mansion.
02:47In the center is a young woman wearing an elegant cream colored dress with embroidered flowers.
02:52A pearl clip holds back her dark hair.
02:54She's smiling.
02:56Eyes bright.
02:56That face.
02:58Was my mother.
02:59My hands start shaking uncontrollably.
03:02Mom was deliberately kidnapped and brought here.
03:04Someone's been sending people to watch her.
03:07I tuck the photo and 200 dollar bills against my body.
03:10I put everything else back in the box.
03:12Hide it in the wall.
03:14Carefully smooth down the picture.
03:15When I'm done.
03:17I run back to the room and grab mom's cold hand.
03:20Mom.
03:21Harper's taking you home.
03:23I don't know where Preston is.
03:24I don't know what Bradford estate means.
03:26But I know if we stay here.
03:28Wade will torture mom to death eventually.
03:30I have to get her out.
03:32Tonight.
03:32Past midnight.
03:34Wade's snoring filled the house.
03:36I gently shake mom awake.
03:38Press my finger to my lips.
03:40Mom.
03:41Follow me.
03:42Don't make a sound.
03:43Mom nods.
03:44Her eyes are clearer than I've ever seen.
03:47We crept through the junk packed main room to the courtyard gate.
03:51The old door hinge squeaks.
03:54Painfully loud in the dead silence.
03:56We freeze.
03:58After a long moment, the snoring continues.
04:00We exhale and keep going.
04:02We just reached the old oak tree at the edge of town.
04:06When a shadow stepped out from behind a haystack.
04:08Harper?
04:09It's Mrs. Davison.
04:11She got up to pee and spotted us.
04:14Where are you going with your mom?
04:15No.
04:16Nowhere.
04:17Mom couldn't sleep.
04:19Just taking a walk.
04:20Mrs. Davidson narrows her eyes.
04:22Suspicious.
04:23Staring at me and mom.
04:24My mind goes blank.
04:26I grip mom's hand tight.
04:28Someone!
04:29Wade Holland's crazy wife is running away!
04:31Her voice cuts through the night like thunder.
04:34Don't!
04:35I try to cover her mouth but it's too late.
04:37Lights flicker on.
04:39In several houses.
04:40Dogs start barking.
04:42Run!
04:42I pull mom and we bolt toward the edge of town.
04:48But mom's weak.
04:50She can't run fast.
04:52We've just reached the threshing ground when footsteps pound behind us.
04:55Stop right there!
04:57You worthless bitches!
04:59You've got some nerve!
05:01More and more people pour out of their houses.
05:03The whole town's awake.
05:07We plunge into the forest.
05:10It's dark.
05:10The old trees with their tangled roots make good hiding spots.
05:15But our footprints are clear in the snow.
05:20Split!
05:21Split up!
05:22I freeze.
05:23Mom's actually speaking.
05:25Harper!
05:26You go east.
05:27I'll go west.
05:28Go!
05:29Don't look back!
05:32No!
05:33We go together!
05:34Listen to me!
05:38I'm over here!
05:40Come get me!
05:41The flashlight beams quickly swarm towards her.
05:45I stand frozen.
05:46Tears blur my vision.
05:50Someone spots mom.
05:52I bite through my lip.
05:54The taste of blood fills my mouth.
05:57I turn and bait Bios widging the saulam and dive deeper into the forest.
06:02Run!
06:03Run as hard as I can!
06:06Thorns tear my face.
06:08Branches rip my clothes.
06:10I fall and get back up.
06:11My knees slam into rocks.
06:13The pain shoots through me.
06:14The sounds of pursuit fade behind me.
06:16But I can't stop.
06:17By dawn, I finally stumbled out of the forest and onto a frozen dirt road.
06:22Cold.
06:23Hungry.
06:23Exhausted.
06:24My legs feel like lead.
06:26But I can't stop.
06:28Finally, I see a row of freight trucks stopped by the roadside.
06:32One of the drivers gets out and walks toward the bushes by the side of the road.
06:38He's unbuckling his belt, going to take a piss.
06:41I glance back.
06:42Flashlight beams in the forest are getting closer.
06:45I run toward the trucks.
06:47These are covered freight trucks, loaded with sacks, with tarps on top to keep off snow.
06:53If I don't want to get caught, this is my only option.
06:56I lift the edge of a tarp and use the last of my strength to climb up, curl myself into
07:01the gaps between the sacks.
07:03When the men from town reach the road, the drivers just finishing up and coming back.
07:07They circle the trucks, flashlights sweeping over the tarps.
07:10I clamp my hand over my mouth, hold my breath, just as they're about to lift the tarp and search.
07:16The lead driver comes over with a gun on his belt.
07:19What's going on here, fellas?
07:21Wade sees the drivers built solid with a gun at his waist.
07:26He backs down immediately, muttering curses as he walks away.
07:30Little brat, where'd she run off to?
07:34Thank God they didn't find me.
07:36I let out a breath.
07:38Cold sweat soaks through my torn jacket.
07:40The lead driver climbs back into the cab.
07:43The engine rumbles to life and we roll away from this nightmare place.
07:47I peek through a gap in the tarp and look back at Mom being held by the men.
07:51Blood's on her mouth.
07:52Her face is covered in bruises, purple and blue.
07:55My tears soak through my clothes.
07:58My crazy mother, it's like she sees me right now.
08:01She lifts her hand and quietly gestures,
08:04Shhh.
08:05I covered my mouth and nodded hard.
08:08Mom, wait.
08:09Harper will come back and take you home.
08:13To your real home.
08:17The truck bounced along, going farther and farther.
08:21I curled up in the corner of the truck bed, but I was too exhausted.
08:25I passed out.
08:28When I opened my eyes again, two rough-looking men were staring down at me.
08:32One was the driver in work clothes.
08:35The other was a middle-aged businessman in a nice suit.
08:39This girl looks half-starved, clothes all torn up.
08:42Probably got separated from her family.
08:45Maybe we should call the cops, have them send her back.
08:47I'm not going back!
08:49I burst into tears.
08:51Years ago, Mrs. White from our town had tried to run away and got caught.
08:55The cops sent her back too.
08:57Their excuse.
08:58Couples fight.
08:59It's normal.
09:00I couldn't take that chance.
09:03If I went back, I'd never escape that town.
09:07I'd never save Mom.
09:09I scrambled up from the ground and ran into the crowd without looking back.
09:15The street was packed with cars, bikers, people everywhere.
09:20I had barely run a few steps when I heard the driver and passes by shouting.
09:25Kid, watch out for the car! Stop!
09:28I was looking around frantically when a sedan came barreling towards me.
09:33The horn blared.
09:34Tires screeched on the pavement.
09:39My body went light, then crashed hard to the ground.
09:43My vision blurred.
09:45I saw a middle-aged man in a dark suit running toward me.
09:49That man looked strangely familiar.
09:52The shape of his eyes.
09:53His features.
09:55I had seen them somewhere.
09:56Why couldn't I remember?
09:58My head hurt.
10:00It felt like it was splitting open.
10:02The man picked me up, shouting at the people around us.
10:06Doctor!
10:07Get a doctor!
10:08My small hand, covered in blood, reached for his face.
10:11He looked exactly like the man in Mom's photo.
10:15Exactly the same.
10:16When I woke up again, it was the next morning.
10:19I was lying in a hospital bed.
10:22White walls, white sheets, the smell of disinfectant filled the air.
10:26The room was empty except for me.
10:28That man was long gone.
10:30Oh no!
10:31I panicked and jumped out of bed barefoot.
10:33The hospital floor was cold tiled.
10:36My feet were scraped raw from before.
10:38Each step left faint red marks.
10:41I searched through the hallway, checking every room.
10:45Still no sign of him.
10:47Sweetie, you need to get back to bed.
10:49I dodged her and kept running.
10:52Finally, I collapsed by the elevator, crying.
10:56It was my fault for not holding back the pain.
10:59If I hadn't passed out, maybe I could have held on to Mom's relative.
11:03I was crying too loud.
11:05Nurses and patients were staring.
11:07Just then, a figure came quickly down the hallway.
11:11Kid, I just went to the billing office to pay for your treatment.
11:14How'd you get out here?
11:15I looked up through my tears and saw that familiar face.
11:18I cried even harder.
11:20At the same time, endless fear rose in my chest.
11:24What if he disappeared again?
11:26You're my mom's family!
11:29Go save her, please!
11:33If we're too late, Wade will torture her to death!
11:37The man in front of me saw me crying so hard I could barely breathe.
11:43He bent down and picked me up.
11:45He was tall and there was something dignified about him.
11:49Just like Mom.
11:51Kid, did you get separated with your parents?
11:53Let me take you back to your room.
11:54Before I could react, he was about to take my hand and lead me back to the bedroom.
11:58When you're better, I'll have someone take you home, okay?
12:01I grabbed his hand and wouldn't let go.
12:04There was no time!
12:05If we waited any longer, it would be too late.
12:08I shook my head hard.
12:10Tears kept falling.
12:12I pulled the photograph out of my pocket.
12:14That was what I had brought with me when I escaped.
12:17I knew I'd need it.
12:18I unfolded the photo and held it up in front of him.
12:21The man's eyes landed on the photograph.
12:24I watched his hand holding the photo start to shake violently.
12:28The veins on the back of his hand bulged.
12:31His lips trembled.
12:33His throat moved up and down several times before he forced out a sentence.
12:38Where did you get it?
12:39Before he finished speaking, a burning tear dropped onto the photo, blurring the image.
12:45Seeing the man's reaction, I knew I had bet right.
12:48He really was mom's family.
12:50Later I learned his name was Sebastian Bradford.
12:53He was mom's older brother, my uncle.
12:55I could tell he didn't completely believe me.
12:58After all, I was just a kid from nowhere, talking crazy.
13:02But he wouldn't let go of even the slightest possibility.
13:05On the way to Hollow Ridge, he brought along a dozen men with combat training.
13:10The people in Hollow Ridge stick together like a clan.
13:12You can't just reason with them.
13:14His face was grim.
13:15When necessary, we'll have to use force.
13:18Time was running out.
13:19I could see Sebastian was even more anxious than I was.
13:23His brow was furrowed.
13:24The whole way he kept urging the driver.
13:28Faster!
13:29Go faster!
13:30The convoy pushed hard for over six hours.
13:33It was barely dawn when we reached the edge of town.
13:36As soon as we arrived, the townspeople swarmed like flies to rotting meat, crowding around us.
13:43And now there were a dozen of them.
13:47The moment the vehicle stopped, I shoved the door open and jumped out.
13:53I led the way.
13:54Sebastian and his men followed close behind.
13:58The whole group marched straight toward my house.
14:01I kicked the courtyard gate open.
14:04Wade was just coming out of the house, pulling up his pants, humming some filthy tune.
14:09When he saw Sebastian's face, he froze like he'd been struck by lightning.
14:14His face went white as paper.
14:16His legs gave out and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
14:24Why was Wade so scared of him?
14:27I was confused.
14:29But when I turned to look at Sebastian, he acted like he didn't know Wade at all.
14:34Take him.
14:35Sebastian's voice was flat.
14:36His men pounced like wolves, pinning Wade down in seconds.
14:40Grandma Martha heard the noise and came charging out of the kitchen with a knife.
14:45Whoever touches my son will pay with their life.
14:54The door to the main room was half open.
14:57Sebastian's eyes were wet with tears.
14:59He walked toward it step by step.
15:00Each step looked like he was dragging chains weighing a thousand pounds.
15:04Anna, is that you?
15:06Inside the room, my mom, clothes torn, body covered with bruises, seemed to understand.
15:11She had been slumped on the floor.
15:13Now she slowly lifted her head and looked toward the man.
15:16The moment their eyes met, Sebastian's tears broke free.
15:20He stumbled toward mom.
15:22Anna!
15:22My sister Anna!
15:24Mom seemed lost again.
15:26When she saw someone rushing at her, she panicked and tried to back away.
15:31The iron chain around her ankle rattled.
15:35She could only press herself against the wall, then wrapped her arms around her head, flailing wildly.
15:41Don't hit me!
15:43Don't hit me!
15:48Help me, listen.
15:51Sebastian dropped to his knees in front of her, sobbing.
15:54His hands trembled as he reached out, touching her hair so gently it was barely there.
16:00Anna, don't be scared.
16:01It's your brother.
16:07Your brother's here to take you home.
16:09He took off his jacket and wrapped it around mom.
16:13Then he held her tight, crying so hard his whole body shook.
16:18I stood in the doorway watching, wiping my eyes.
16:22Sebastian saw me.
16:24Eyes red, he pulled me over by the hand and brought me to mom's side.
16:30He looked at me with guilt and pain in his eyes.
16:33Kid, I'm your uncle.
16:35I'm so sorry I failed you both.
16:40How did you and your mother survive these 12 years?
16:45As he spoke, hatred filled Sebastian's eyes.
16:49He looked at the chain locked around mom's ankle.
16:52He stood up, took a thick iron bar from one of his men, and walked toward Wade pinned on the
16:57ground.
16:58Wade was so scared he pissed himself.
17:01The stench of urine spread through the cold air.
17:03But Sebastian wouldn't let him off.
17:10He clutched his shattered leg and kept begging for mercy.
17:15Please!
17:16Please!
17:17I'm sorry!
17:17Spare me!
17:19Please!
17:20Grandma Martha was crying over her son.
17:23She was in yelling for the townspeople at the gate to come help.
17:27Those townspeople didn't mess around.
17:31All the men came over and blocked the doorway.
17:35Grandma Martha glared viciously at mom.
17:39Nobody's taking that crazy bitch anywhere today!
17:44That one shout brought every man in town.
17:47Dozens of them showed up, some with shotguns, others with baseball bats and tire irons.
17:52They blocked the gate, surrounding us completely.
17:55They're trying to steal my wife!
17:57God!
17:58Is there no law anymore?!
18:00Mom, leaning on Sebastian, seemed triggered by those words.
18:04She suddenly broke free from Sebastian's hold and stumbled toward Wade.
18:10Bad man.
18:12Bad man!
18:14Wade grabbed mom by the hair and started cursing.
18:17You bitch!
18:18Look closely!
18:19I'm your husband!
18:20Wait till I get you back inside.
18:23I'll fuck you to death!
18:24Sebastian saw mom getting hit.
18:26His nails dug into his palms.
18:28His eyes turned bloodshot.
18:30He threw a punch that landed hard on Wade's face.
18:33You kidnapped her and you've got the nerve to talk?
18:36Show me proof.
18:37Which eye of yours saw me kidnap anyone?
18:42You think you can take this to court?
18:44Won't end well for anyone!
18:46The townspeople crowded the gate like a wall of bodies.
18:50They outnumbered us.
18:51We couldn't get out.
18:53Even a dozen more trained men wouldn't have been a match for those shameless townspeople.
18:58When those people made a scene, there was no limit.
19:01They slashed the tires with their sickles, climbed on top of the vehicles and rolled around.
19:07Lay on the ground wailing, claiming we had hit them.
19:11Every single tire got slashed.
19:13We couldn't move the vehicles at all.
19:17But Sebastian was no pushover either.
19:19He drew a blade and pressed the tip against Wade's throat.
19:23Wade had been acting tough a second ago.
19:26Now he went limp, pants soaked through.
19:32Mr. Bradford!
19:33I'm just a farmer.
19:34I saw her wandering around like a lost soul.
19:36I took her in out of kindness and made her my wife.
19:39Wade's eyes darted around nervously.
19:41Maybe I made mistakes, but I fed her all these years.
19:44She ate when I ate, drank when I drank.
19:45The crowd started stirring.
19:47That's right!
19:48Wade's been taking care of that crazy woman all this time!
19:50You can't just bully us common folk because you're rich and powerful!
19:55You planning to kill us all to keep this quiet?
19:58Suddenly, Mom, who had been standing frozen behind Sebastian, seemed to snap.
20:03Her eyes locked onto Wade.
20:05Then she lunged at one of the bodyguards and yanked the knife from his belt.
20:09She shuffled toward Wade step by step.
20:12The crazy bitch is gonna kill me!
20:14Mom raised the knife to strike Wade, but Sebastian stopped.
20:18Anna?
20:19Sebastian grabbed her wrist, took the knife away, and pulled her tight against him.
20:26A farmer who calls me Mr. Bradford the second he sees me?
20:30Wade's face went deathly pale.
20:32His lips shook, but no words came out.
20:34Who told you my last name was Bradford?
20:37Sebastian drove his blade through Wade's arm.
20:39Wade screamed at me.
20:40Then Sebastian pulled out the blood-covered blade and threw it at the townspeople's feet.
20:45I won't kill you now.
20:46Sebastian looked at each person there.
20:47But whether you're innocent or not, do you really think that's for you to decide?
20:52His words made everyone suck in a sharp run.
20:55Nobody dared say another word.
20:57Take him inside.
21:00Drag him inside. Interrogate him properly.
21:07Wade got dragged into the shed where Mom had been locked up for 12 years.
21:11His first cry of pain made everyone in the yard flinch.
21:14Two bodyguards held Wade down.
21:16Another one punched him hard in the gut.
21:18Wade doubled over, gasping for air.
21:21Talk!
21:22Who paid you to kidnap Anna Bradford?
21:31Wrong!
21:32She really was a stray I picked up!
21:34The bodyguard punched him again.
21:36Then again.
21:37Wade's nose broke.
21:38Blood poured down his face.
21:39They punched him over for about half an hour.
21:41Finally, the bodyguard came out and reported quietly.
21:44Sir.
21:46He passed out twice.
21:48Same story every time.
21:50Says nobody paid him.
21:58Tough bastard.
22:00Don't kill him.
22:01Tie him up tight.
22:02Tomorrow we load him in the truck and take him back to Preston.
22:07We'll get the truth there.
22:08I hated him.
22:09I hated how Wade had treated Mom.
22:12So I tugged on Sebastian's sleeve and said,
22:15Uncle Sebastian, I want to punish the bad man too.
22:19For Mom.
22:19Sebastian heard what I said and laughed.
22:22You really are Bradster family's blood.
22:24Harper.
22:25Do whatever you want.
22:26At Sebastian's signal, a bodyguard led me inside.
22:30He heard someone coming and struggled to lift his head.
22:33When he saw it was me, he showed his yellow teeth in a grin.
22:37Hey, Harper.
22:38You came to save your old man, didn't you?
22:40I knew you couldn't leave me behind.
22:43I didn't raise you for nothing.
22:44I didn't say anything.
22:46I gestured for the bodyguard to pull out his blade.
22:49I walked toward Wade step by step.
22:52Wade saw what I was planning.
22:54His expression changed instantly.
22:56You worthless brat!
22:57I'm your father!
22:59This is unforgivable!
23:00I didn't hesitate.
23:02The bodyguard with the blade looked at me once.
23:04He understood what I wanted.
23:05Stop!
23:06He raised the knife and brought it down.
23:08One stroke and Wade's most important part was gone.
23:12In an instant, the smell of piss and blood filled the whole room.
23:16It made me sick.
23:17Wade was unconscious from blood loss.
23:19I wiped my hands and went back to my room.
23:22That night, I slept like a baby.
23:24The next morning, Sebastian's reinforcements arrived.
23:27We were loading Wade into the back of a covered truck when it happened.
23:31A gunshot cracked through the air.
23:32Wade's head snapped.
23:34Blood sprayed across the truck.
23:36He dropped like a stone.
23:38The bodyguard scattered, weapons drawn, scanning the hillside.
23:42Shooter!
23:44Sebastian yanked me behind a vehicle and sprinted to the truck.
23:55Wade's eyes were wide open.
23:57A bullet hole cleaned through his skull.
23:59Dead.
24:00The bodyguard spread out, searching the ridge above town.
24:04By the time they got there, whoever it was had long gone.
24:08Hunting rifle.
24:09Long range shot.
24:10One bodyguard found spent shell casings on the hillside.
24:14Someone in Preston doesn't want him talking.
24:19Wade's body got tossed off the truck.
24:22Grandma Martha was tied up, mouth gagged.
24:25She looked at Wade's corpse and made muffled wailing sounds.
24:28A bodyguard asked Sebastian,
24:30What do we do with the old woman?
24:32Sebastian stood up and waved his hand.
24:34Let her live.
24:35Break her legs and throw her back in the house.
24:37Grandma Martha started shaking all over.
24:40She shook her head desperately.
24:42Even grabbed at my sleeve, trying to get me to beg for her.
24:46I kicked her hand away.
24:48They never showed mom any mercy when they tortured her.
24:51Everything comes back around.
24:54This was what they deserved.
24:57She collapsed on the ground like a pile of rags.
25:00Sebastian's voice was cold.
25:02Leave her here, crippled and helpless.
25:04Let her rot in this house for the rest of her pathetic life.
25:07We got in the vehicles and headed toward Preston.
25:10I looked back one last time at Hollow Ridge.
25:13The mountains surrounding it got smaller and smaller in the distance.
25:18The road ahead was going to be dangerous too.
25:20After we left, we drove through the night toward Preston.
25:24That was the first time I had been in a vehicle that nice.
25:27Leather seats, tinted windows, smooth ride.
25:30Like a luxury hotel on wheels.
25:33Mom leaned against Sebastian's shoulder asleep.
25:36That was the first time I had seen mom sleep so peacefully.
25:41Anna, we're going home.
25:43It's all over.
25:44Sebastian held her gently, patting her back like she was a child.
25:49It's all over.
25:51From Sebastian, I pieced together mom's story bit by bit.
25:55The Bradford family in Preston, three generations in the timber business.
25:59One of the most prominent families in the region.
26:02Mom was the youngest daughter, raised by her parents and two older brothers.
26:06Everyone adored her.
26:08Twelve years ago, she had just turned 18.
26:10She was engaged to Ethan Thorne.
26:12But seven days before the wedding, mom disappeared.
26:15But Bradford spent everything searching for her.
26:17Posted $100,000 rewards.
26:20Put up missing person flyers everywhere.
26:22But she vanished without a trace.
26:24They searched for 12 years.
26:26Until they stumbled across me.
26:28That was how they found mom.
26:29Sebastian said I was mom's lucky star.
26:31I had saved her.
26:32But I lowered my head and wiped away tears.
26:34I knew I was actually mom's burden.
26:36Early the next morning, we arrived as fog rolled through the streets.
26:41The car stopped in front of an impressive estate.
26:44S afectuouslyn got hurt.
26:45Happy $100,000 bucks.
