00:00Sis, what are you writing?
00:02It's mom's name, Serena.
00:05Serena, mom has such a pretty name.
00:09Of course she does.
00:11Leela, Eli, back with lunch for your dad again?
00:14Poor kids without a mom.
00:15She's old enough for school, but she can't go.
00:18Their mom is so heartless.
00:21Sis, does mom really not want us anymore?
00:24Of course not.
00:26Dad!
00:27Don't say silly things.
00:30Mom loves you more than anything in this world.
00:32She just can't come see you right now.
00:34Then when can we see mom?
00:38When you're bigger, I'll take you to find mom, okay?
00:40Okay, we're gonna grow up really fast.
00:43Good boy, go play.
00:44Okay.
00:46Noah, get over here.
00:48What's up?
00:49A new shipment just came in, it's heavy.
00:52Need a couple guys to help.
00:53100 bucks, you in?
00:59I'm in.
01:00All right.
01:01Give me one second.
01:04Leela, do you want to go to school?
01:09You're already working so hard to pay for Eli's medicine.
01:13It's fine.
01:14School's cheap now.
01:15Go wait for me.
01:16I'll take you to school tomorrow.
01:17Really?
01:19Really.
01:20I'm going to school!
01:22I'm going to school!
01:24You coming or not?
01:25Yeah, I'm coming!
01:27Be careful on your way home.
01:29Okay.
01:30Come home soon, Dad.
01:39Come on!
01:40No!
01:43Noah, you okay?
01:45Help!
01:45Someone help!
01:52Dad!
01:54Dad!
01:57Leela, I'm sorry.
02:00I can't make your wish come true anymore.
02:03I don't need to go to school anymore.
02:07You?
02:10Noah!
02:12Dad!
02:17Frank, don't worry, Noah.
02:19I'll take good care of Leela and Eli.
02:24This is the only photo your mom left.
02:27The address is on the back.
02:29When you grow up, take this and find her.
02:33She'll love you more than anything.
02:36I'm so sorry.
02:39I don't think I can stay and watch you grow up.
02:42You have nothing to be sorry for.
02:44You're the best dad ever.
02:47Serena, I'm sorry.
02:50Dad!
02:51Noah!
02:52Noah!
02:59Dad, don't leave me!
03:01Dad!
03:13Dad!
03:13Dad!
03:14Dad!
03:14Dad!
03:14I want you to divorce Noah immediately.
03:16Take her away.
03:18No, no, no, no!
03:24Mom!
03:25Dad!
03:26Don't!
03:34You promised to cut them off completely.
03:37And besides, you're not...
03:38Dad!
03:39I haven't slept a full night in all these years.
03:41You tore me away from my husband and my children for seven whole years.
03:46I'm doing all this for you.
03:47I don't want that.
03:48I'm going back.
04:03What are you doing?
04:05Come out.
04:06I need to talk to you.
04:08I want to sell the two kids.
04:11What?
04:11You sold Lila and Eli?
04:13Keep your voice down.
04:15Do you want them to hear us inside?
04:17No.
04:17Noah just died.
04:18And now you want to sell his children?
04:20Have you no conscience at all?
04:22Can conscience feed us?
04:23I'm only doing this for the good of our family.
04:25We have our own son to raise.
04:26And now we suddenly have two extra people to feed.
04:28But you can't sell children.
04:29Either way.
04:31Here.
04:32This is the remaining balance after the last deposit.
04:39Wait.
04:39Can I ask where you're planning to sell the child?
04:41The boys will be sold for hard labor.
04:44And the girls will be sold to brothel.
04:50Oh my god.
04:52Then we won't sell them.
04:53We won't.
04:53What the hell are you doing?
04:55We're not selling them.
04:56Get out of here now.
04:57You can't do this.
05:00Marge, are you even human?
05:01Those are my own brother's children.
05:04You!
05:04How dare you hit me!
05:10Stop fighting!
05:11Those two kids have run away!
05:20Wait.
05:21Wait a second.
05:23Here.
05:23Say aha.
05:25Are you feeling better now?
05:27Uncle, why are they trying to sell us?
05:29Aren't we family?
05:31Uncle, they didn't have a choice either.
05:34If we can't go home, where are we supposed to go?
05:37We're going to look for mom.
05:39Mom?
05:39But I've never met mom.
05:42Sis, do you even know what mom looks like?
05:44Mom, she's really pretty.
05:47And so kind.
05:56Sister, what's wrong?
05:58That lady looks so much like mom.
06:00Sister, didn't you say you've seen mom?
06:02I was just three or four then.
06:04I don't really remember clearly.
06:06What?
06:07Then how can we find mom?
06:10See?
06:11There's an address on the back of this photo.
06:13We'll go by this address and we'll find mom.
06:15I don't know what mom looks like,
06:17but I'm sure she'll be able to tell it's us.
06:23Frank, March?
06:24Long time no see.
06:25Where's Noah?
06:26What about Lila and Eli?
06:28So it turns out the mother of those two kids
06:30has come looking for them.
06:31Now I have to find those two brats quickly.
06:33Noah?
06:34Lila?
06:35Eli?
06:35Noah?
06:36Lila?
06:36Eli?
06:37Lila?
06:38Eli?
06:42Frank, what's wrong with Noah?
06:43Noah?
06:44Why is he doing this all of a sudden?
06:45He's dead.
06:46Noah went to work in a factory moving goods
06:48to earn tuition money for Lila.
06:50But the cargo suddenly collapsed and fell on him.
06:54He lost too much blood and couldn't be saved.
06:56No, it can't be true.
06:57Where are Lila and Eli?
06:59The children, they...
07:00The kids were being naughty and playing by the river.
07:03They fell in.
07:04What are you saying?
07:05So what?
07:06Am I supposed to say we sold the kids?
07:10What?
07:11What did you just say?
07:12Selling the kids?
07:14Oh, sister-in-law, you must have misheard.
07:16Totally misheard.
07:17Selling kids.
07:18What we were saying was
07:19we were just heartbroken over the loss of the children
07:21and we think of selling the unused things at hand
07:23to give them a decent funeral.
07:28I lost my composure just now.
07:30I'm sorry, Frank.
07:31Marge.
07:32You need to get some proper rest.
07:42Sister, I'm so hungry.
07:44Eli, stay right here.
07:45I'll go get us something to eat.
07:50Help!
07:51I'm so sorry.
07:52I'm really hungry.
07:53I'll pay you back next time, okay?
07:56Help!
07:57Ah!
07:59Get up.
08:00Take it and eat.
08:02Don't waste it.
08:03My kid is about your age, too.
08:09Auntie, what's wrong?
08:11You look so sad.
08:13I'm fine, sweetie.
08:14Finish your food quickly.
08:16I'll take my leave now.
08:20Eli!
08:23Can't you behave yourself?
08:24I told you to wait right there.
08:26Do you have any idea how long I've been looking for you?
08:29I promised Dad I'd take good care of you.
08:32If I lost you, how could I face Dad?
08:34I'm sorry.
08:35Where did you get this bread?
08:37A kind and beautiful aunt gave it to me.
08:55We have to find Mom soon, or Eli's medicine will run out for good.
08:59It's probably just someone who looks like her, because if it really were her, why hasn't
09:03she come looking for us yet?
09:07Come in.
09:14It's them.
09:16Go.
09:17I asked just now.
09:18Kids who board with others don't need a ticket.
09:20We'll sneak on with everyone later.
09:22Okay.
09:23Okay, line up behind, please.
09:26Ticket, please?
09:27Yeah, go ahead.
09:29Hold it!
09:29Those two kids!
09:35Where is Tickets?
09:37Tickets?
09:38We came up with our mom.
09:40Mom?
09:41Which one is your mom?
09:45That is my mom!
09:53Are you sure she's your mother?
09:56That's not her!
09:57I'm her mother!
09:59Here!
09:59These are our tickets!
10:03Uh-huh.
10:05Yeah, she's our mom.

10:08Take care of the kids.
10:10Have a good day.
