- 0:00Please take it, Aunt Mary. If her mom
- 0:03hadn't passed away so early, and if I
- 0:04wasn't completely out of options, I
- 0:05wouldn't be asking you for this favor.
- 0:07>> You and my late husband were comrades
- 0:09for so many years. When he sacrificed
- 0:11his life back then, you helped us out a
- 0:13lot. Besides, my kids are away all year
- 0:15round, so I'm just here by myself. Don't
- 0:17be a stranger. Sigh. You were doing so
- 0:21well as a doctor. How did you end up in
- 0:23this situation?
- 0:24>> I just don't want to get involved. In
- 0:26the winter of 2016, because of my
- 0:28father's work and the incident that
- 0:30happened, I was forced to move to
- 0:32Willowville.
- 0:34>> So, dad has to head back now. Once
- 0:37things are settled over there, I'll come
- 0:39pick you up.
- 0:41>> 3 months, 6 months, or how long?
- 0:51>> My ballet competition next week. I've
- 0:53already told Miss Cole I'm dropping out.
- 0:56Don't worry. I can study hard here, too.
- 0:59>> I am so sorry for this, sweetie.
- 1:01>> Dad, is that family still making a scene
- 1:04at the hospital?
- 1:05>> The hospital has security guards. You
- 1:08don't need to worry about it.
- 1:09>> Dad, do you regret it? So many hospitals
- 1:12refused to take that kid because he was
- 1:14too sick. You took the risk, but the
- 1:17surgery failed and now they blame
- 1:19everything on you. making a scene at the
- 1:22hospital every day, even finding out our
- 1:24home address.
- 1:24>> Sofh, I don't regret trying to save that
- 1:27kid. I only regret dragging you into
- 1:29this. Uh, [sighs]
- 1:31Willowville may be small, but at least
- 1:33it is safe. Uh, that gives me peace of
- 1:36mind.
- 1:37>> All right, it is the last bus.
- 1:40>> You better go.
- 2:36driver. How much is it? $20. Why $20?
- 2:39Are you trying to rip us off? Let me
- 2:41tell you, I'm only giving you $15, not a
- 2:44penny more.
- 2:46>> Come on. You have so much stuff. It cost
- 2:48me more in gas.
- 2:49>> You are being unreasonable. Me?
- 2:50Unreasonable. If you don't want it,
- 2:51>> then give it back. $20. Unbelievable.
- 2:53>> Then you get nothing.
- 2:55>> How can you be so unreasonable? Do you
- 2:56want the $15 or not?
- 2:58>> If not, I'm taking it.
- 2:59>> $20. So unreasonable. And you call me
- 3:02unreasonable.
- 3:03>> Unbelievable.
- 3:17That was how Lucas and I met for the
- 3:19first time. I was a total mess. And so
- 3:22was he.
- 3:34I shouldn't have given him that extra
- 3:35$5. That driver obviously thought we
- 3:37were from out of town and took advantage
- 3:38of us.
- 3:40>> Can you stop complaining? We just moved
- 3:42here. It is better to avoid trouble.
- 3:43>> Fine. I am just trying to save some
- 3:45money. With Luke's ear condition and our
- 3:47current salaries, how long until we can
- 3:49afford the surgery? Sh.
- 3:58>> He's had a fever for days and you only
- 4:00brought him in now. That's so
- 4:02irresponsible.
- 4:03>> I've been working overtime at the
- 4:04factory. His dad didn't think it was
- 4:06serious, so we didn't pay much
- 4:07attention.
- 4:09>> When we were kids, a cold or fever meant
- 4:11just sweating it out under a blanket.
- 4:12How could we know it'd be the serious?
- 4:19>> Mom, Dad, why are you just moving your
- 4:21mouth, making no sound?
- 4:29>> Look, look. What is wrong?
- 4:31>> Look, don't scare me. Look, look.
- 4:41>> The results [music] are out. The
- 4:42persistent high fever caused severe
- 4:44damage to his left ear. His right ear
- 4:46still has some hearing left. He can use
- 4:47a powerful hearing aid.
- 4:50>> How could this happen? Luke's ears. How
- 4:53can he just not hear?
- 4:55>> But fortunately, the auditory nerve in
- 4:57his right ear is fine. He can get a
- 4:59colear implant.
- 5:02Doctor, you said a cclear implant will
- 5:06help my son get better. Right.
- 5:10All right then. Doctor, we'll do it.
- 5:14Tell me for the procedure. How much will
- 5:16the surgery cost?
- 5:17>> It'll be at least $200,000. But we can't
- 5:20do it here. [music] You'll have to go to
- 5:21capital city.
- 5:30$200,000.
- 5:32This
- 6:05I'm going to go buy a towel.
- 6:08>> Okay.
- 6:12Come back soon.
- 6:15I told you to stop bringing it up. Don't
- 6:16bring it up. Why did you even bring it
- 6:18up? From that distance, you couldn't
- 6:20have heard us, right?
- 6:24>> Let's get to work.
- 7:22It's you.
- 7:24What's his deal? Is it because of what
- 7:27happened earlier? Is he ignoring me on
- 7:30purpose? [music]
- 7:31So petty.
- 7:41Um,
- 7:42I'm sorry. I zoned out a bit. I didn't
- 7:45catch what you said. Could you say that
- 7:48again?
- 7:50>> I said, "How do I get to Willow Lane? I
- 7:53can't find it."
- 7:55>> Oh,
- 7:57I live there, too. You can just follow
- 7:59me.
- 8:01>> Okay.
- 8:27Wait, didn't we just pass by here? All
- 8:31the streets here look the same.
- 8:34Let's go. We're almost there.
- 8:36>> Okay.
- 8:48I could have sworn we turn right here.
- 8:54>> Who exactly are you?
- 8:57You've been leading me in circles. I'm
- 9:00warning you. I don't have any money. And
- 9:04if you try anything funny, I'll call the
- 9:06cops right now.
- 9:10>> I'm Lucas Shaw. I just moved to
- 9:13Willowville today, too. I live on Willow
- 9:15Lane, too. I didn't know the streets
- 9:17here were so confusing.
- 9:20I
- 9:22got lost.
- 9:25You
- 9:25>> do you take me for a fool? You just
- 9:27happened to move to Willowville. You
- 9:29just happen to live on Willow Lane and
- 9:31you're lost, too. There's no way it's
- 9:33such a coincidence. I'm calling the
- 9:35police right now.
- 9:36>> Hey, wait. No. Just let me.
- 9:38>> Luke,
- 9:45you just went to the store. What took
- 9:47you so long?
- 9:50And who is this?
- 9:53>> Sophie,
- 9:55where did you run off to? I've been
- 9:57looking for you for ages.
- 10:00Grace.
- 10:02Mary. Oh, Grace. Long time no see. Yeah,
- 10:06it has been a while. Come over for
- 10:08dinner later.
- 10:13It's been so many years. What brings you
- 10:16back to Willowville today?
- 10:17>> My husband found a job at a factory
- 10:20here. The pay is pretty good, so we
- 10:22moved here with him. I figured we could
- 10:25fix up the old house and save some money
- 10:27on rent.
- 10:28>> That's great. Will is developing fast.
- 10:31It's much better than before. Moving
- 10:33back is a good idea. Is this your son?
- 10:37>> Yes, Lucas.
- 10:41>> Hello, Aunt Mary.
- 10:42>> Hi. Your mom hasn't been back to
- 10:44Willowville since her wedding.
- 10:47>> This is your first time here, right? No
- 10:50wonder you got lost. Yeah, we made quite
- 10:53a joke of ourselves.
- 10:54>> Ah, and who is this?
- 10:57>> A friend's kid staying here for a while.
- 11:01>> Hello, ma'am.
- 11:06>> Oh, right. You two probably haven't
- 11:08eaten yet. You must be hungry. Let me
- 11:09make you some food.
- 11:10>> Don't trouble yourself, Mrs. Mary. I'll
- 11:12just go back and cook.
- 11:13>> It's no trouble. You two just got back.
- 11:15You haven't settled in yet.
- 11:44What did you say?
- 11:46Can you speak up?
- 12:01I am sorry.
- 12:16Why are you home so late?
- 12:18>> Well, I ran into Mrs. Mary. I stopped by
- 12:21her place for a bit.
- 12:22>> Dad, mom, going in my room.
- 12:24>> Okay,
- 12:26>> which Mrs. Mary?
- 12:28>> The one living next door. Uh, she even
- 12:30came to our wedding.
- 12:33It's just strange. There's a little girl
- 12:35there about Luke's age. Her outfit
- 12:38looked really expensive. You can tell
- 12:40she's not from Willowville.
- 12:52I'm sorry.
- 12:54Sophie, where did you run off to?
- 12:57>> Sophie.
- 13:01Sophie.
- 13:05Sophie.
- 13:08Sophie. So,
- 13:12how exactly do you spell her name?
- 13:15>> Lucas.
- 13:17Would it have killed you to ask?
- 13:22From now on, you'll stay in this room.
- 13:24Oh, right. The water heater is a bit
- 13:26old. You have to let it run a while to
- 13:28get hot water. Also, the soap. I got you
- 13:31a brand new one.
- 13:32>> Um, do you have body wash and
- 13:34conditioner?
- 13:36>> What?
- 13:38Nothing. Aunt Mary, I'm going to go wash
- 13:40up.
- 13:41>> Okay, go ahead. Let me know if you need
- 13:43anything.
- 14:13Sophie, you got this. Everything's going
- 14:15to be all right.
- 14:26I've already talked to your home room
- 14:28teacher. You can record your classes and
- 14:31during PE just stay in the classroom.
- 14:37Look well at school don't let your
- 14:40classmates know about your hearing.
- 14:48Okay.
- 15:03Luke, why change to this one? Didn't you
- 15:06say it's uncomfortable to wear all day?
- 15:09>> It's smaller.
- 15:11It's less noticeable. I'm heading out.
- 15:25Sophie, how about I go with you to
- 15:27register?
- 15:28>> No need, Aunt Mary. I can find the way.
- 15:30>> No, there are so many alleys here in
- 15:32Willowville. You might get lost again.
- 15:33Wait for me to change my clothes.
- 15:34>> Hey,
- 15:38Aunt Mary. I'm going with Luke. We're
- 15:40off. Bye.
- 15:43>> Let's go.
- 15:49You're not acting cool today.
- 15:51>> Acting cool?
- 15:53>> I saw you wearing a hat all day
- 15:55yesterday.
- 15:56>> I just didn't wash my hair yesterday.
- 16:00>> Didn't know you had such an idol
- 16:02complex.
- 16:04>> Idol complex?
- 16:06What does that mean?
- 16:08>> Never mind. Hurry up. I don't want to be
- 16:10late on my first day. I won't get lost
- 16:12again following you today, will I?
- 16:14>> You won't.
- 16:16When I transferred schools, I walked
- 16:17this route once. I remember it.
- 16:19Yesterday was just an accident.
- 16:22>> Oh,
- 16:36class. Quiet down. For the new semester,
- 16:40our class has two new students.
- 16:43Come on, introduce yourselves.
- 16:46Sophie Reid, you go first.
- 16:50>> Hello everyone. My name is Sophie Reid,
- 16:52spelled S O P H I E R E D. I'm glad to
- 16:56be in this class with you all. That girl
- 16:58is so pretty.
- 16:59>> Look at her shoes. You can only get
- 17:00those in a big city. They must be
- 17:02expensive. Her skirt is really pretty,
- 17:04too. Yeah, it really is.
- 17:06>> Sophie here. She transferred from
- 17:08Southgate. Her spoken English is
- 17:10excellent. Whenever you have free time,
- 17:12you should learn from her. Then can she
- 17:14say a few lines for us?
- 17:16>> Yeah, let us learn from her right now.
- 17:19Yeah,
- 17:19>> show us. Sophie,
- 17:22>> why don't you say something in English?
- 17:25>> Then I'll share a quote from the little
- 17:26prince that I really like.
- 17:29It is only with the heart that one can
- 17:31see rightly. What is essential is
- 17:34invisible to the eye.
- 17:36>> That's amazing. Can you tell us what it
- 17:38means? It means that you can only see
- 17:40the truth.
- 17:42If you look with your heart,
- 17:44if you only use your eyes, you won't be
- 17:46able to see it.
- 17:47>> All right, Sophie's pronunciation is
- 17:49indeed very accurate. Now, Lucas,
- 17:53why don't you introduce yourself?
- 17:56>> Hi, everyone. I'm Lucas Shaw.
- 18:00>> That's it. He's so cold.
- 18:03>> His hair is so long. Doesn't the teacher
- 18:05care?
- 18:06>> All right. All right. Do you see the
- 18:08empty seats over there? Put your things
- 18:10there and then come to the office with
- 18:12me to get your books. The rest of you
- 18:14study on your own.
- 18:34All your books are right here. Oh, and
- 18:36the school uniforms. You two remember
- 18:38that starting tomorrow you must wear
- 18:40them to school. Okay,
- 18:41>> got it.
- 18:57>> Lucas, I can carry them myself. It's too
- 18:59heavy for you to carry alone.
- 19:01>> Not heavy. [music] Sophie.
- 19:03Hello. I'm Jason Hall. the class
- 19:05president. I came to help you guys with
- 19:07the books.
- 19:10>> Let's go.
- 19:11>> Okay,
- 19:13Sophie, if you ever need anything, you
- 19:15can come to me anytime.
- 19:16>> Yeah, I know Willowville Inside Out.
- 19:18>> Thanks, class president.
- 19:21>> Do you read The Little Prince, too? I
- 19:23really love the quotes in it.
- 19:40It is only with the heart that one can
- 19:42see rightly. What is essential is
- 19:44invisible to the eye.
- 20:15It seems to me after one winter break,
- 20:17you've completely forgotten everything I
- 20:19taught you. We had a little pop quiz
- 20:22yesterday and half of you failed. I'll
- 20:26save you some face and won't name names,
- 20:30but I want to specially commend one
- 20:33student today,
- 20:35Lucas.
- 20:37Perfect score.
- 20:44Everyone, after class, I want you all to
- 20:47take a good look at Lucas's test paper.
- 20:49See how he answers the questions. Class
- 20:51president,
- 20:52hand out the test papers.
- 20:58Did you do it on purpose? During the
- 21:01test yesterday, you saw me sitting right
- 21:03there struggling to write a single word.
- 21:05Did you think it was funny?
- 21:06>> I thought you were thinking.
- 21:11>> What kind of logic is that?
- 21:27I think your handwriting is really nice.
- 21:31My handwriting isn't as pretty as yours.
- 21:43>> All right, class. Class dismissed.
- 21:48>> Do you live on Willow Lane? Yeah, I live
- 21:52in the next lane. After school today,
- 21:54can I walk home with you?
- 21:57I really love Southgate. Could you tell
- 22:00me about it? Sure.
- 22:04>> Want to play basketball after school?
- 22:06We're always short a guy. You can fill
- 22:07in for us.
- 22:08>> No thanks. I don't play basketball.
- 22:11>> I don't. No, that's fine. You can be a
- 22:13sub. Just take your time. I'm sorry. You
- 22:16should find someone else.
- 22:22What's his deal? We just asked him to
- 22:24play basketball and he gives us
- 22:25attitude. What? Thinks he's all that for
- 22:28acing physics. Let's go.
- 22:33>> Is Southgate as pretty as it is in the
- 22:35TV shows with all the tall buildings?
- 22:37There are a lot of highrises, but the
- 22:39traffic to school is awful. It's not as
- 22:42nice [music] as Willowville. After I
- 22:43finish my exams, I definitely have to
- 22:46visit. Will you go with me then?
- 22:54He's clearly not like that. Why does he
- 22:56have to act so cold and distant?
- 23:03Sofh, how are things going over there?
- 23:05You left in such a hurry, I didn't even
- 23:07get to see you off. I'm doing fine.
- 23:10Don't worry. Willowville is a lot better
- 23:12than I expected. Except I'm still
- 23:14getting used to the food. What about
- 23:16your ballet competition?
- 23:18I dropped out. Let's not talk about it.
- 23:21Has anything interesting happened in
- 23:22Willowville? Come on, tell me. Something
- 23:25interesting.
- 23:28I met a really interesting guy.
- 23:41He's actually so good at basketball.
- 23:44Mia, I got to go. I'll call you back
- 23:46later.
- 23:55Lucas, pass me the ball. Pass it to me.
- 24:00Lucas, pass the ball. Pass the ball.
- 24:03Give it to me.
- 24:05[music]
- 24:25If you can't hear, stay off the team.
- 24:27You cost us so many points. Lucas,
- 24:29you're benched for the second half.
- 24:51Lucas,
- 24:52I know your secret.
- 25:01Lucas, I discovered your secret.
- 25:07What secret?
- 25:10>> You clearly know how to play basketball,
- 25:12but you told Jason you didn't. Is it
- 25:15because
- 25:18you think the guys in our class suck at
- 25:20it? You don't want to team up with them,
- 25:22so you said you can't play?
- 25:25>> Yeah,
- 25:28>> I think they suck, too. But your
- 25:31shooting just now was pretty accurate.
- 25:33You're really good.
- 25:36>> You think I'm that good?
- 25:40>> Yeah, you're great at physics and pretty
- 25:43good at basketball, too.
- 25:51>> You seem to love those crispy noodles.
- 25:54I saw you eating them during breaks
- 25:56yesterday, too.
- 25:58>> I don't actually like them. I'm just not
- 26:01used to the local food yet. And the
- 26:03school store doesn't have much else.
- 26:06>> There's a wantton shop at the edge of
- 26:08town.
- 26:10It should still be open right now.
- 26:14Want to go grab a bite?
- 26:27Yeah,
- 26:29this is the best meal I've had in
- 26:31Willowville. Hey, Lucas, why do you
- 26:34always act so aloof in class and ignore
- 26:36everyone? You're not like that at all. I
- 26:41Also, why do you always wear headphones
- 26:44or wear a hat and leave your hair so
- 26:46long?
- 26:48What's wrong?
- 26:52Oh no, hearing aid is dead.
- 27:01>> I I have to go.
- 27:04>> Hey, wait. Lucas, what happened to you?
- 27:19She must think I'm so weird.
- 27:23>> Lucas, you're so useless.
- 27:32>> Maybe I should ask Mrs. Shaw if
- 27:34something's wrong with Lucas.
- 27:36>> Yeah, I want to get Luke a better
- 27:38hearing aid.
- 27:41He's been struggling with his studies
- 27:43lately.
- 27:45I know
- 27:47a hearing aid.
- 27:58>> Lucas has a hearing problem.
- 28:01>> I don't play basketball. You should find
- 28:03someone else.
- 28:05>> Lucas, I figured out your secret.
- 28:08You obviously know how to play, but you
- 28:10told Jason you didn't.
- 28:12>> Sorry about that. I spaced out for a
- 28:13second. You're clearly not like that. I
- 28:14didn't hear what you said.
- 28:15>> Why do you always wear headphones? You
- 28:18>> could you say that again?
- 28:19>> We're wearing a hat and keeping your
- 28:20hair so long.
- 28:21>> What did you say?
- 28:23Can you speak up?
- 28:27>> No wonder he was acting so weird before.
- 28:30Is he an idiot?
- 28:34And I kept blabbering away right next to
- 28:37him. It must have been so hard for him
- 28:39to hear.
- 28:45Inability to perceive ambient sounds and
- 28:48human voices. Difficulty determining the
- 28:51source of sound.
- 29:13>> Sophie
- 29:16about yesterday I
- 29:17>> It's fine. Everyone has those days of
- 29:20the month.
- 29:22Don't worry, I won't hold it against
- 29:24you.
- 29:26>> What days?
- 29:29>> Nothing. Let's go.
- 29:43Lucas, do you have a problem with
- 29:45English? Your other grades are so good.
- 29:48You can't just neglect this subject.
- 29:50Barely passing isn't enough,
- 29:53>> Sophie. Great work. Keep it up.
- 29:56>> Thank you.
- 30:07This old PA system has so much static.
- 30:10He probably couldn't hear it clearly,
- 30:12which is why he got so many wrong.
- 30:18Lucas,
- 30:20your English doesn't seem that good. How
- 30:23about this? I'll help you with English
- 30:25and you help me with math in exchange.
- 30:27Fair trade. What do you say?
- 30:31What? Think I can't teach you? My spoken
- 30:35English is actually pretty good.
- 30:37>> Yeah. No,
- 30:40I just think besides math, besides
- 30:43tutoring you in math, your physics needs
- 30:45some work, too.
- 30:48>> Deal. Sure, we can do both.
- 30:52Who am I doing this for anyway?
- 31:01Read after me. Registration.
- 31:07registration.
- 31:11>> Mhm. Sophie,
- 31:13>> what's wrong?
- 31:15>> Actually, you don't need to be so loud.
- 31:19I can hear you.
- 31:21>> Oh. Ahem. I just subconsciously like
- 31:25reading out loud. Ahem. Next.
- 31:28Reservation.
- 31:32Reservation.
- 31:34>> Reservation.
- 31:35>> Yes.
- 31:37You don't need to read this one.
- 31:39>> Oh,
- 31:40>> really?
- 31:48>> Not bad.
- 31:50Looks like it worked.
- 31:54Let's go.
- 31:55>> Okay.
- 31:59>> Oh no, the rain will ruin his hearing
- 32:02aid.
- 32:04>> What's wrong? Did you bring an umbrella?
- 32:10>> No, it's fine. The rain isn't that
- 32:12heavy.
- 32:14>> Hey,
- 32:19how about we do the math tutoring here?
- 32:23>> But don't we usually do it at home?
- 32:26[music]
- 32:27>> Because Because I don't want to carry
- 32:29such heavy books back. Besides, no
- 32:31matter where we do it, it's still
- 32:33tutoring, right? Mr. Shaw, have a seat.
- 32:43Then let's start with the question you
- 32:44missed last time.
- 32:50Look,
- 32:52the range of the angle of inclination
- 32:55and the tangent function.
- 32:58Is this too hard to follow?
- 33:00Let me write out the steps.
- 33:09[music] So the cosine is roo<unk>30 /
- 33:1110.
- 33:14>> Did you get that?
- 33:15>> Mhm. Okay. Hey, why don't we go over
- 33:20physics, too?
- 33:22>> No rush. We can just [music] do physics
- 33:25tomorrow. Besides, it's getting dark
- 33:27outside.
- 33:28Time to head home.
- 33:42It's still pouring. Let's wait a bit
- 33:45longer.
- 33:50>> Here. Put this on.
- 33:54>> Hey, Lucas. You use it. Ah.
- 33:58You can't get wet.
- 34:04>> Why can't I?
- 34:06>> If you catch a cold, who's going to
- 34:08tutor me?
- 34:11>> Let's go.
- 34:18>> Sophie,
- 34:20you know, don't you?
- 34:23>> No. What? Lucas, what are you talking
- 34:26about?
- 34:28You know, this thing on my ear is just a
- 34:30useless accessory. You know, I can't
- 34:32hear.
- 34:34You think I'm a loser who needs to be
- 34:35watched and protected all the time,
- 34:40>> right,
- 34:41>> Sophie? Lucas, what nonsense are you
- 34:43talking about? Nobody thinks that.
- 34:44>> I just What? You think because I can't
- 34:47hear, you have to pity me? I actually
- 34:50thought, Sophie,
- 34:53let me tell you, I don't need it. I
- 34:57don't need you to constantly cuddle me.
- 35:00And I sure don't need your sympathy or
- 35:02for you to be nice to me out of pity.
- 35:06>> Lucas, if I ever say another word to
- 35:08you, you can call me a dog.
- 36:12Um,
- 36:16Wendy, let's go.
- 36:18>> Okay.
- 36:36Wendy, how do you solve this?
- 36:41I can't do a question this hard. Hey,
- 36:43you've been stuck all day. Why not ask
- 36:46Lucas? Doesn't he usually help you?
- 36:54Sophie, someone's looking for you
- 36:56outside.
- 36:57>> Oh, coming.
- 37:03>> Hey. Hey. Isn't that the basketball
- 37:04captain from the next class? He is here
- 37:06for Sophie. What does he want?
- 37:08>> What do you think? He obviously likes
- 37:09Sophie.
- 37:20Sophie, didn't you promise me that we'd
- 37:23have tutoring every day?
- 37:25>> You don't need to tutor me anymore.
- 37:29>> Then no more physics tutoring.
- 37:31>> I don't need it. You're not the only one
- 37:33good at physics.
- 37:34>> Wait, but but Chris Cole only got a 56
- 37:39in physics.
- 37:40>> Who?
- 37:41>> The guy who came to see you today, the
- 37:42basketball captain. He only got a 56 on
- 37:44the physics exam. He can't tutor you.
- 37:47>> Lucas Shaw, what exactly are you trying
- 37:49to say?
- 37:49>> I
- 37:52>> That's not how you apologize.
- 37:54>> I don't know how.
- 38:03>> Can you teach me?
- 38:07>> I'm hungry.
- 38:08>> Then let me treat you to something.
- 38:10Anything you want.
- 38:12>> Okay.
- 38:18Hey, Lucas. You know how Mr. King always
- 38:21clears his throat? Making that ahem
- 38:25sound?
- 38:25>> What about it?
- 38:26>> It's super annoying. And that static
- 38:29noise after the bell, that buzzing
- 38:31sound. It startles me every time. You
- 38:34can't hear any of that, right?
- 38:37Actually,
- 38:41it's not so bad not hearing these
- 38:42things. At least for the words you don't
- 38:45want to hear, you can just naturally
- 38:46block them out. And I realized there's
- 38:49an upside to talking to you.
- 38:51>> What's the upside?
- 38:52>> When we normally talk, it often goes in
- 38:54one ear and out the other. Or when
- 38:56someone is talking, their mind has
- 38:58already wandered off. But you're
- 39:00different because you have to watch and
- 39:02listen carefully. So the person talking
- 39:05to you will also unconsciously become
- 39:07serious. Like me right now for example.
- 39:11This isn't a bad thing, Lucas. It's like
- 39:14like giving the words you really want to
- 39:16say a switch. Be my partner for lab
- 39:19class tomorrow. Those guys mumble too
- 39:22much. I'll be your translator, but you
- 39:25have to buy me lunch.
- 39:29>> Okay.
- 39:32By the way, so which ear can't you hear
- 39:35from?
- 39:36>> My left ear is completely deaf.
- 39:39My right ear can hear a little bit.
- 39:42>> Oh,
- 39:45no wonder you always stood on my right
- 39:48side. You didn't want me to see your
- 39:50hearing aid, right, Lucas? I never knew
- 39:53you were so sneaky.
- 39:56If you take off your hearing aid, can
- 39:58you still hear?
- 40:04A little bit.
- 40:05>> Bend down.
- 40:07>> Huh?
- 40:08>> How about this? Can you hear me?
- 40:12And this
- 40:16like this. Can you hear me?
- 40:38I can hear everything.
- 40:40Oh,
- 40:53>> every time after lab class I feel so
- 40:56tired. Are you tired?
- 40:59>> Not really. After today's classes, this
- 41:02week is
- 41:06>> Lucas. Wait a second. Let me take this
- 41:08call.
- 41:10Hello, Sofh.
- 41:12>> Miss Doyle.
- 41:13>> Sofh, how have you been lately?
- 41:15>> I've been doing well.
- 41:17>> That's good. I'm calling today to give
- 41:18you some news. After you withdrew from
- 41:20the competition, we recommended Vivian
- 41:22Young to take your place. She won the
- 41:24gold medal in the solo group. This award
- 41:26has directly secured her an early
- 41:28admission to the Royal Ballet Company's
- 41:30prep class.
- 41:34Some people are just so lucky getting
- 41:36special treatment every day, even having
- 41:39the principal prep spot handed to them.
- 41:41Too bad their family is a mess, dragging
- 41:43them down. Oh, Sophie, I'm sorry.
- 41:47I didn't know you were here. I heard
- 41:49your dad killed someone during surgery
- 41:51and got cornered at the hospital. You're
- 41:54leaving the company. Is that true? So,
- 41:57you can't go to the competition either.
- 41:59That's so sad.
- 42:02You prepared for so long, but now you
- 42:04can't go.
- 42:12I suggest you watch your mouth.
- 42:16My dad's surgery was totally normal. And
- 42:19another thing, when you practiced that
- 42:21gazelle variation this morning, when you
- 42:23landed, your ankle wobbled again. If you
- 42:26can't fix that bad habit, even if the
- 42:28principal reserve was rigged, it still
- 42:30wouldn't be you.
- 42:31Besides, I remember it very clearly. In
- 42:34the last preliminaries, you lost to me
- 42:37by 1.3 points.
- 42:40>> Second place.
- 42:42>> So what, Sophie Reed? Even God isn't on
- 42:45your side. From now on, first place
- 42:48belongs to me. What are you looking at?
- 42:51>> Vivian got lucky this time. The judges
- 42:54said her technical flaws were covered up
- 42:55by her expressive performance. Sofh,
- 42:58it's fine that you missed this
- 42:59competition. So, she really got first
- 43:01place, huh? Sofh, are you still there?
- 43:04>> I'm here, Miss Doyle.
- 43:07>> Then you I'm going to go eat now. Let's
- 43:10talk later.
- 43:22You're not eating your wantons.
- 43:24>> I'm full. Let's go home.
- 43:34Have some fruit. Thanks. How's
- 43:36everything at home lately? Pretty good.
- 43:38Is Oh, she's a handful. Aunt Mary, I'm
- 43:41home. Oh, Sophie's back. Oh, look at my
- 43:44memory. I forgot to give you a heads up.
- 43:46Aunt Linda's family is here for dinner
- 43:48today.
- 43:50I'll head to my room.
- 43:54Hey, let me ask you. Is she your
- 43:56friend's kid? the one you're looking
- 43:58after. Her family had an emergency.
- 44:00She's staying for a bit.
- 44:13What are these shoes, sis? Why is it so
- 44:16hard right here? They're so
- 44:18uncomfortable to walk in.
- 44:20>> Oh, you little troublemaker. Why are you
- 44:22going through her things? Sophie, this
- 44:25is Aunt Linda's daughter, Lily. She
- 44:27doesn't know any better. She's just
- 44:28curious. She's probably never seen shoes
- 44:30like these. She just thought they were
- 44:31fun. Be a good girl, Lily. Take off the
- 44:33shoes and give them back.
- 44:34>> No. No.
- 44:34>> Be a good girl, Lily. We'll buy you
- 44:36prettier shoes later. Okay. Be good.
- 44:37Take them off now.
- 44:41>> I'm so sorry about this, Sophie. As for
- 44:44the shoes,
- 44:46I'll wash them for you later. The room's
- 44:49a mess, too.
- 44:50>> It's okay, Aunt Mary.
- 44:53>> All right, then. You can tidy up a bit.
- 44:56When dinner's ready, I'll come get you.
- 44:58Let's go.
- 45:01Honestly, how dirty can a kid be? Just
- 45:04wash them later. She's just staying
- 45:06here. Why apologize to her?
- 45:08>> Keep it down. You're going to spoil her.
- 45:12Just let it go.
- 46:12Why did it have to be her who won first
- 46:14place? It's the Royal Ballet Theater.
- 46:18If I hadn't come to Willowville, I'd be
- 46:20the one competing.
- 46:24>> Yeah.
- 46:27You say, "Yeah, but do you even know?"
- 46:32>> I don't.
- 46:35>> You don't.
- 46:40>> It really is just like she said. Even
- 46:42God isn't on my side.
- 46:46>> No, Sophie. If I were God,
- 46:51I'd definitely help you.
- 47:00You help me? How can you help me? In all
- 47:03of Willowville, there isn't even a
- 47:05single dance studio.
- 47:10>> Sophie.
- 47:11>> Yeah.
- 47:13>> Are you hungry?
- 47:15>> Huh?
- 47:31They don't even have a 24-hour
- 47:33convenience store here or a boba shop.
- 47:42Why is my life so miserable?
- 47:50Careful, it's hot.
- 47:53>> Who even wants this?
- 48:04Tastes awful.
- 48:17But
- 48:19why did you show up there?
- 48:21>> I saw you.
- 48:30Mom, I left the vinegar at the door. I'm
- 48:32heading out for a bit.
- 48:34>> Look, where are you going?
- 48:40Okay,
- 48:42>> Lucas, do you ever think I'm too much
- 48:45trouble?
- 48:47>> No.
- 48:49>> Then tell me, am I never going to dance
- 48:53again?
- 48:54>> No.
- 49:01>> Sophie,
- 49:03here. There might be no 24-hour
- 49:05convenience store or boba shop,
- 49:09but the sun still rises on time. Sophie,
- 49:13the sun will always rise.
- 49:34Next time, don't just buy one milk tea.
- 49:37You should have some, too. It's sweet.
- 49:42Okay.
- 49:59Sophie is even more amazing than I
- 50:01thought.
- 50:03>> What are you looking at, Luke? You're so
- 50:05focused.
- 50:06>> Oh, nothing.
- 50:09>> Hey, Mom.
- 50:12Is there anywhere in Willowville where
- 50:14someone could practice dancing? Like a
- 50:15large indoor space?
- 50:18>> Indoors? Over by the old cultural
- 50:20center, there is an old auditorium. It's
- 50:22been empty for years, but it's dirty and
- 50:24run down.
- 50:25>> I'll go check it out.
- 50:26>> Hey, Luke.
- 50:30This time, one student has shown
- 50:31remarkable progress. Everyone should
- 50:33learn from her. Keep up the good work,
- 50:35Sophie. All right, class dismissed.
- 50:41>> Lucas, this is the first time I've
- 50:43scored this high in math.
- 50:47I remember going over this problem with
- 50:49you.
- 51:11Here
- 51:17we go.
- 51:20Class is over. I should get going.
- 51:27>> What is going on with me?
- 51:32>> You're done for. From what you're
- 51:34saying, you're totally falling for
- 51:35Lucas, aren't you? I don't know.
- 51:38I just feel like when I first came to
- 51:40Willowville, I was miserable.
- 51:44There was nothing here. And now
- 51:49I think Willowville is actually pretty
- 51:51nice.
- 51:56Sofh, there's a fish lantern festival in
- 51:57town tomorrow. Let's go check it out
- 51:59together. Fish lantern festival? Yeah,
- 52:00I've never been to one. Yes. Yes, I'd
- 52:03love to. Lucas, you should come, too.
- 52:05The more the marrier.
- 52:26>> [music]
- 52:33>> What's wrong, Lucas? Do I look weird?
- 52:45You look great.
- 52:48>> Just threw this together. Let's go.
- 52:52>> Okay.
- 52:55>> Wow. Stop. There are fish lanterns.
- 52:57Let's go check them out.
- 53:01>> It's so noisy over there. Lucas won't be
- 53:04able to hear. Wendy, let's just watch
- 53:06from here. I don't really like crowds.
- 53:09>> You guys wait here. I'll take some
- 53:10photos and be right back.
- 53:11>> Hey, I'll come, too. Let's go.
- 53:12>> Okay, let's go.
- 53:15>> First time I've ever heard you say you
- 53:17don't like crowded places.
- 53:20>> Well, it's great here. We can see
- 53:23clearly from here. Squeezing in there is
- 53:26no fun.
- 53:30>> What are you smiling at?
- 53:32>> I'm happy.
- 53:38Sophie, did you know there is actually a
- 53:41tradition for this? You touch the fish's
- 53:44head and stroke down to its tail. It
- 53:48brings smooth sailing and good luck.
- 53:50>> Oh, it's fine. I'll just do it next.
- 53:52Let's go.
- 55:01Luke, just leave it there. I'll wash
- 55:03them later.
- 55:04>> I can do it myself.
- 55:12Oh [clears throat] my,
- 55:14he's really grown up.
- 55:30>> Morning.
- 55:34>> Morning.
- 55:43Sophie Reed from grade 11, class 2.
- 55:45Someone requested a song for you. Please
- 55:47enjoy.
- 55:50>> Simon Stone is confessing to Sophie
- 55:51again. He really does it every day. How
- 55:53many days has it been? I'm almost moved.
- 55:56Is it too loud for your ears?
- 55:59>> Lucas, someone's here for you.
- 56:03Lucas, someone's looking for you
- 56:05outside.
- 56:05>> Okay, thanks.
- 56:07>> You looking for me?
- 56:08>> Lucas, I've liked you for a long time.
- 56:12>> He accepted the love letter.
- 56:15>> What did you say?
- 56:21>> He took the love letter. Does that mean
- 56:37Huh? Sophie, take this chocolate.
- 56:41I heard you love it. I had my dad get it
- 56:43from Southgate just for you.
- 56:45>> Wait,
- 56:46>> let me know if you want more.
- 57:00I'm heading out.
- 57:03>> Oh, okay.
- 57:15Lucas, wait up.
- 57:42Sophie. Simon from class one asked me to
- 57:43give you this. I put the coffee on your
- 57:45desk.
- 57:45>> Simon sure is persistent. Sending you
- 57:48coffee again.
- 58:00Still haven't won Sophie over? It's been
- 58:01a whole month. Can you even do it? Of
- 58:03course I can. If she wasn't a spoiled
- 58:06princess from Southgate and a perfect
- 58:08match for me, I wouldn't put up with her
- 58:11or simp for her for a month. Yeah, sure.
- 58:14Sure. Today is the day. I'll make a
- 58:17grand confession and make her mine.
- 58:20>> Lucas, what are you doing?
- 58:23Sophie, you're a student. You should
- 58:26focus on your studies. You shouldn't be
- 58:27thinking about other things.
- 58:29>> You're telling me to focus on my
- 58:31studies? Lucas, how come I never noticed
- 58:33that you have such double standards? You
- 58:36were doing all that with the girl from
- 58:37the next class and now you're lecturing
- 58:40me. You can't just do that.
- 58:42>> What did I even do?
- 58:44>> You accepted her love letter and even
- 58:46walked home with her.
- 58:48>> Hey, I didn't accept any love letter and
- 58:50I didn't walk home with her. Did you
- 58:52misunderstand something?
- 58:54>> I saw it with my own eyes.
- 58:57>> Hey, can you stop following me?
- 59:02>> You haven't given me an answer yet.
- 59:04>> Your confession
- 59:09here. Thank you for liking me, but I
- 59:13can't accept it.
- 59:14>> Do you like someone else?
- 59:18>> No comment.
- 59:20Well, it's your fault. If you hadn't
- 59:22taken the letter, I wouldn't have
- 59:23misunderstood.
- 59:24>> She was talking too fast and too quiet.
- 59:28I couldn't hear her clearly. By the time
- 59:30I realized what it was, it was too late
- 59:32to give it back.
- 59:34>> Fine,
- 59:36>> your hand.
- 59:38From now on, I'll buy you chocolates,
- 59:41too.
- 59:41>> Okay.
- 59:42>> Did you eat Simon's?
- 59:44>> No, I didn't. When he gave it to me, I
- 59:46gave it right back. I was eating my own.
- 59:50Oh, Lucas. So, you were upset because
- 59:53you thought I ate his chocolate.
- 59:55>> And you?
- 59:57>> You drank the coffee Simon gave you this
- 59:59morning.
- 1:00:01>> You remember that so clearly? Does that
- 1:00:03mean everything others gave me, you
- 1:00:05remember it all?
- 1:00:06>> Yeah. last Friday.
- 1:00:08The milk tea Leo from class one gave you
- 1:00:10the fruit Simon gave you on Tuesday and
- 1:00:13the Wednesday before last. The cookies
- 1:00:15from Daniel Woods in class one and that.
- 1:00:18>> But Lucas,
- 1:00:20I don't like things from other people. I
- 1:00:23only like the milk tea you make.
- 1:00:45Wait, that's not right. Then you didn't
- 1:00:48go on a date after school.
- 1:00:50What were you doing then?
- 1:00:54I wanted to finish it before telling
- 1:00:56you.
- 1:00:58>> Finish what?
- 1:01:01>> Wait till after school. I'll take you
- 1:01:04there.
- 1:01:08>> Okay.
- 1:01:35Is this the dance practice place you
- 1:01:37found for me?
- 1:01:40Yeah, besides looking a bit old,
- 1:01:45it actually has all the basic
- 1:01:46facilities.
- 1:01:48We just need to clean it up a bit and
- 1:01:50then move all this junk out of the way.
- 1:01:54I've already checked the floor. Some
- 1:01:56parts aren't quite level, but I can fix
- 1:01:59all of that.
- 1:02:06>> Thank you, Lucas.
- 1:02:10I really love it here.
- 1:02:33I
- 1:02:35Let me start cleaning up.
- 1:02:38Okay.
- 1:03:04Ah, finally done.
- 1:03:06I'm so exhausted, but thinking about
- 1:03:09dancing here soon. I'm so happy.
- 1:03:13Lucas,
- 1:03:15Lucas,
- 1:03:26Lucas,
- 1:03:29Lucas.
- 1:04:06above your head. The floor around here,
- 1:04:09it's still uneven. I'll find a way to
- 1:04:11fix it.
- 1:04:15What's wrong?
- 1:04:17>> Nothing. You go ahead. I'll go get some
- 1:04:20air. Sophie Reed. Oh, Sophie, you even
- 1:04:22closed your eyes. So embarrassing. I
- 1:04:25thought you had a plan.
- 1:04:35Really, Mia? On this monthly exam, my
- 1:04:37math, physics, and chemistry scores are
- 1:04:39all up. Ask Lucas if you don't believe
- 1:04:41me.
- 1:04:43>> Oh, right. Sophie's grades have improved
- 1:04:46so fast. She's super amazing. Hear
- 1:04:51that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:04:52Yeah. Stop torturing with your PA. Stop
- 1:04:53torturing with your VA. Stop torturing
- 1:04:55with your PA.
- 1:04:58Don't talk nonsense.
- 1:05:09John Shaw, do you have to come back and
- 1:05:11give me that look every time? I am a
- 1:05:14human being. I am not invisible. Can you
- 1:05:16stop ignoring me all the time? Huh? Say
- 1:05:19something.
- 1:05:22>> What do you want me to say? Huh? What do
- 1:05:25you want me to say?
- 1:05:36>> Sophie, see you tomorrow.
- 1:05:40>> Oh, see you tomorrow then.
- 1:05:54What about me? Am I wrong? If you hadn't
- 1:05:57hurt Luke, would our life be like this
- 1:05:59now? Huh?
- 1:06:03>> How many times are you going to bring
- 1:06:05this up?
- 1:06:07Haven't I been making up for it all
- 1:06:08these years? I send back all the money I
- 1:06:11earn. What else do you want me to do?
- 1:06:14What do I want you to do? How can you be
- 1:06:16so heartless? Huh?
- 1:06:36Your dad went out, went drinking with
- 1:06:39his friends.
- 1:06:43This doesn't even feel like a home
- 1:06:45anymore. He only comes back once in a
- 1:06:47blue moon and leaves before he even has
- 1:06:50time to sit down.
- 1:06:54Forget it. Let's not talk about this.
- 1:06:58You know how your dad is.
- 1:07:01Are you hungry? I'll make you something
- 1:07:03to eat.
- 1:07:07>> I'll go bring Dad back.
- 1:07:27All women are like that. Besides, you're
- 1:07:29always away. Raising Luke by herself
- 1:07:31isn't easy. Not to mention, Luke is.
- 1:07:37Yeah, right. What happened back then is
- 1:07:40on me, but I've been trying to make up
- 1:07:42for it. I work so hard to make money
- 1:07:45just to buy him a colear implant, but
- 1:07:47that thing is too expensive. Whenever I
- 1:07:49go home and look at Luke, I just get
- 1:07:52scared.
- 1:07:55I don't know how to face him.
- 1:07:58I feel like he's always reminding me
- 1:08:00that I'm the one to blame for his
- 1:08:01disability.
- 1:08:06Mr. young.
- 1:08:08>> It kills me inside.
- 1:08:09>> I know. I know. We all get it. Life
- 1:08:11ain't easy for anyone. Come on. We're
- 1:08:13drinking till we drop tonight.
- 1:08:25Luke,
- 1:08:46I don't know what's wrong, but didn't
- 1:08:48you tell me that you should talk about
- 1:08:51it when you're upset. Would you be
- 1:08:54willing to tell me what exactly happened
- 1:08:56to you?
- 1:08:58[bell]
- 1:09:07Have I never told you this before?
- 1:09:10Actually,
- 1:09:12before I was eight, I could actually
- 1:09:14hear perfectly fine.
- 1:09:18Because of an accident, by the time I
- 1:09:20got to the hospital, it was already too
- 1:09:23late. Ever since then, my mom would
- 1:09:27always cry and my dad would always sigh.
- 1:09:32>> Mrs. Shaw, crying all the time won't
- 1:09:34solve anything. Lucas only has one ear
- 1:09:37now that can barely hear. Don't blame me
- 1:09:39for being blunt, but isn't he disabled?
- 1:09:42If you ask me, you and my brother are
- 1:09:44still young. You should have a healthy
- 1:09:46baby while you can. Helen is right. Mrs.
- 1:09:50Shaw, you should think about it. John,
- 1:09:54say something. If it weren't for you,
- 1:09:56would Luke's ear be like this? Are you
- 1:09:58going to listen to your mom and sister
- 1:10:00and have another baby? Let me tell you,
- 1:10:03John, for as long as I live, Luke is my
- 1:10:06only child. I will never have another
- 1:10:08one.
- 1:10:11>> I am not.
- 1:10:12>> Sit down. Sit. If you're not, then tell
- 1:10:14them no. Why are you so useless? Your
- 1:10:17mom and sister are saying these things
- 1:10:18about Luke. Do you even have a heart?
- 1:10:21>> After that, my dad wasn't home very
- 1:10:23often.
- 1:10:24>> Put this on. Your dad just sent it.
- 1:10:31After we eat, let's go get your
- 1:10:33disability certificate. Your dad has
- 1:10:36been working really hard these years.
- 1:10:48Actually,
- 1:11:02I also have a secret I've never dared to
- 1:11:05tell anyone.
- 1:11:07My mom
- 1:11:09died because she gave birth to me.
- 1:11:14My parents loved each other very much.
- 1:11:16After she passed away, my dad was
- 1:11:19devastated. When I was little, I didn't
- 1:11:22understand why my dad would always look
- 1:11:25at me with such sadness. I only
- 1:11:28understood when I grew up. It's because
- 1:11:30I look just like my mom.
- 1:11:34If she hadn't insisted on having me, she
- 1:11:36wouldn't have passed away. Every time I
- 1:11:38look in the mirror, I always think about
- 1:11:41how I'm the momento my mom left for my
- 1:11:44dad. The living proof that caused her
- 1:11:46death.
- 1:11:47>> No, you're not.
- 1:11:53>> Right. I'm not. And neither are you,
- 1:11:58Lucas.
- 1:12:00You're great. You're just as good as
- 1:12:02anyone else.
- 1:12:04You're the best person I've met in
- 1:12:07Willowville.
- 1:12:12Here
- 1:12:18something sweet makes things less
- 1:12:20bitter. Trust me, it works.
- 1:12:30You have one, too.
- 1:12:38See, I told you,
- 1:12:43>> Sophie.
- 1:12:44>> H.
- 1:12:47>> Thank you.
- 1:12:58I'm full.
- 1:13:04Stay safe. Let me know when you arrive.
- 1:13:06Okay,
- 1:13:07>> let me take this. I'll walk you to the
- 1:13:10car.
- 1:13:13I'm off.
- 1:13:18Lucas, give me the bag.
- 1:13:21Take care of yourself.
- 1:13:23I'm leaving. Dad,
- 1:13:29what happened to my ears was just an
- 1:13:30accident.
- 1:13:33Neither of us is to blame. I've never
- 1:13:36blamed you for it. You
- 1:13:39shouldn't put so much pressure on
- 1:13:40yourself. As for the coclear implant,
- 1:13:43I'll
- 1:13:45figure something out when I'm older.
- 1:13:48Just take care of yourself out there.
- 1:14:07This physics competition is a national
- 1:14:09one. The rule is every school must send
- 1:14:11a student. You are Willowville High's
- 1:14:14top physics student, so I recommended
- 1:14:17you.
- 1:14:21But don't feel too pressured. After all,
- 1:14:25Willowville is a small town. I regarding
- 1:14:27the rankings. Don't have high hopes.
- 1:14:31Just go and participate to fill our
- 1:14:34quota. Just do your best. All right. Is
- 1:14:37it for a week?
- 1:14:38>> Yeah. Yes. It's the competition rules.
- 1:14:41You can go.
- 1:14:43>> Thank you.
- 1:14:44>> Good luck,
- 1:14:49>> Lucas. You're amazing.
- 1:14:54>> Actually, I'm not that confident. After
- 1:14:56all, the people competing this time are
- 1:14:58all really good.
- 1:15:00>> You're really good, too. As long as you
- 1:15:02want it. First place is yours.
- 1:15:07>> Okay, I'll give it a try.
- 1:16:16You're back.
- 1:16:21What? Caught you staring.
- 1:16:29So beautiful.
- 1:16:36I didn't slack off, you know. I finished
- 1:16:39all the workbooks you left me. What
- 1:16:40about you? How was the competition?
- 1:16:43>> Well, the questions were a bit harder
- 1:16:46than I expected.
- 1:16:48>> Hey, it's fine. It's just a competition.
- 1:16:51Just being able to compete means you're
- 1:16:53already great.
- 1:16:56Why are you smiling?
- 1:17:07for you.
- 1:17:10You really got first place. I knew you
- 1:17:13could do it.
- 1:17:18>> You're so amazing.
- 1:17:36So sleepy with the competition. You must
- 1:17:40not have slept well.
- 1:17:48Lucas, once we get into college, let's
- 1:17:51be together.
- 1:17:55Huh?
- 1:17:58What did you just say?
- 1:18:02Nothing. Let's go home.
- 1:18:31What's this?
- 1:18:37>> What's wrong, Sophie? What happened?
- 1:18:40>> Aunt Mary, I'm fine. Go back to sleep.
- 1:18:50Sophie, once we get to college, we'll be
- 1:18:52together.
- 1:19:15Okay.
- 1:19:26What should we eat after school today?
- 1:19:27Let's go eat those wantons you bought me
- 1:19:29last time. I also want bubble tea. Is
- 1:19:31that okay?
- 1:19:32>> Okay. I've saved up some allowance
- 1:19:34recently. I'll buy them all for you.
- 1:19:37>> Give me a break.
- 1:19:39>> Simon, you're really losing your touch.
- 1:19:43>> Looks like a lost cause. Those two are
- 1:19:45always together. They're probably
- 1:19:47already dating.
- 1:19:49>> Hey, Simon.
- 1:19:53She even returned your gifts. If you ask
- 1:19:56me, you should just give up.
- 1:19:58>> I won't let it go. This isn't over.
- 1:20:11>> He's listening to music.
- 1:20:12>> No wonder he ignored you.
- 1:20:20>> [music]
- 1:20:22>> Lucas,
- 1:20:23I know what this is.
- 1:20:28What's the big deal? Isn't it just an
- 1:20:31earphone? Just wait for the show.
- 1:20:36>> I am craving so much. I am going to eat
- 1:20:39everything at a snack bar.
- 1:20:40>> Okay. Okay.
- 1:20:43What's that sound? Breaking news
- 1:20:47hereby. I'd like to give a special shout
- 1:20:48out to Lucas Shaw from grade 11, class
- 1:20:522. Lucas,
- 1:20:54>> he's disabled, but strong willed. Oh,
- 1:20:58wait.
- 1:21:00I mean, even though he's deaf, he can
- 1:21:03still be the top student in our school.
- 1:21:05Lucas,
- 1:21:07you're so amazing.
- 1:21:09Lucas,
- 1:21:10>> did you hear that?
- 1:21:13Lucas.
- 1:21:16Lucas.
- 1:21:21>> Hey.
- 1:21:27Lucas,
- 1:21:29can you hear me? Lucas.
- 1:21:39>> Sophie, did you hear me? Lucas's death.
- 1:21:42He lied to you,
- 1:21:50Sophie. How dare you hit me?
- 1:21:53>> Exposing a classmate's scars in public.
- 1:21:55Are you proud of yourself?
- 1:21:56>> It's his own fault he's deaf.
- 1:21:59I get it now.
- 1:22:02You already knew he couldn't hear,
- 1:22:03didn't you? No wonder I've been chasing
- 1:22:05you for so long. And you were totally
- 1:22:07unmoved. Turns out you have a sick
- 1:22:08fetish. You like disabled guys, huh?
- 1:22:12Lucas is not. What's the use of having a
- 1:22:15healthy body if you can't even learn
- 1:22:16basic respect?
- 1:22:18>> Shut up,
- 1:22:20>> Simon. Every word you just said only
- 1:22:23proves your ignorance and hypocrisy.
- 1:22:25You've got it all wrong. It's not even
- 1:22:28though he can't hear, but that Lucas,
- 1:22:30whether he can hear or not, is someone
- 1:22:32you'll never measure up to.
- 1:22:51Let's go. Let's go home.
- 1:23:14Wow, Sophie was so cool just now.
- 1:23:17>> So, Lucas wasn't trying to act cool. He
- 1:23:21really couldn't hear
- 1:23:28>> the last two. tarot ones. Today we got
- 1:23:31lucky. This calls for a celebration
- 1:23:34today.
- 1:23:36>> What are we celebrating?
- 1:23:39>> Two things. First, congrats, Lucas. You
- 1:23:43finally don't have to pretend in front
- 1:23:44of the class anymore.
- 1:23:50And second, wasn't I super cool today?
- 1:24:03Yeah,
- 1:24:05super cool.
- 1:24:21After that day, Lucas stopped hiding his
- 1:24:23hearing aid and started talking to our
- 1:24:26classmates. Lucas, I'm stuck on this
- 1:24:28question. Could you help me out?
- 1:24:34>> I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that.
- 1:24:37Could you repeat it?
- 1:24:38>> Could you help me with this question?
- 1:24:41>> This one? Yeah. Take a seat. Let me see.
- 1:24:45Look here.
- 1:24:54Thanks.
- 1:25:00See you in the auditorium half an hour
- 1:25:02after school.
- 1:25:13Sophie,
- 1:25:19happy birthday to you.
- 1:25:26>> Happy birthday to you, Lucas. Happy 18th
- 1:25:31birthday.
- 1:25:35>> You How did you know it was my birthday
- 1:25:38today?
- 1:25:40Well, last time when you filled out that
- 1:25:43competition form
- 1:25:46>> then all of this. When did you prepare
- 1:25:49all this?
- 1:25:50>> Just while while you weren't paying
- 1:25:52attention. Oh, hurry up and make a wish.
- 1:25:55>> Make a wish.
- 1:25:58>> Do you have any wishes?
- 1:26:01Wishes made on your 18th always come
- 1:26:03true.
- 1:26:14If wishes really do come true, then I
- 1:26:16want every single year to be just like
- 1:26:19today.
- 1:26:28Happy birthday. Hold this
- 1:26:35cheese
- 1:26:42to remember your 18th.
- 1:26:52I can't believe it came so fast.
- 1:26:57Lucas, guess what will we be doing in 10
- 1:27:00years? Maybe not even 10. We'll both
- 1:27:03achieve our dreams.
- 1:27:05>> Dreams?
- 1:27:07>> Yeah.
- 1:27:08>> My dream is to study at the best theater
- 1:27:10in the world.
- 1:27:13What about you, Lucas? What's your
- 1:27:16dream?
- 1:27:17>> I want to study biomed engineering to
- 1:27:19research next generation artificial
- 1:27:21hearing.
- 1:27:26artificial hearing.
- 1:27:28>> Yeah, like more advanced, smarter colear
- 1:27:31implants and hearing aids.
- 1:27:34Currently on the market, the most
- 1:27:36advanced technology can already help a
- 1:27:38lot of people hear again. But to hear
- 1:27:40clearly,
- 1:27:42especially rain or voices and in complex
- 1:27:45environments, to accurately capture the
- 1:27:48sound you want to hear,
- 1:27:51is still very hard.
- 1:27:53>> So,
- 1:27:56I want to give it a smarter, more
- 1:27:58advanced brain so it can work like a
- 1:28:01real human ear and tune automatically.
- 1:28:04That way, even if I am in the noisiest
- 1:28:06environment,
- 1:28:08I can still hear your voice perfectly.
- 1:28:25You know what, Lucas? In big cities,
- 1:28:28celebrating coming of age isn't just
- 1:28:31about eating cake.
- 1:28:35Swan song.
- 1:28:39>> What?
- 1:28:40>> Once I save up enough money, I'll visit
- 1:28:42you every summer and winter break.
- 1:28:46Besides, technology is so advanced now.
- 1:28:49We can stay in touch anytime,
- 1:28:51right?
- 1:28:53Come see me whenever you miss me.
- 1:28:56Sophie,
- 1:28:58Willowville is just too small.
- 1:29:03It shouldn't hold you back. You are a
- 1:29:05swan. You belong on a bigger stage.
- 1:29:15>> Ben, Lucas, you have to promise. Promise
- 1:29:19that Willowville's signal is always
- 1:29:21full. Promise that whenever I want to
- 1:29:23contact you, I'll always be able to
- 1:29:25reach you.
- 1:29:30>> Okay, I promise.
- 1:29:36>> Pinky swear.
- 1:29:39>> Yeah, Pinky swear.
- 1:30:04She's been back for a few days now.
- 1:30:07Should I call her?
- 1:30:11I really want to see her face.
- 1:30:14I really want to video call her.
- 1:30:29>> Can you hear me?
- 1:30:30>> I can hear you. Well,
- 1:30:34this is my first time.
- 1:30:36>> First time for what?
- 1:30:42My first time video calling someone.
- 1:30:45>> If you don't like it, I won't do it
- 1:30:47anymore.
- 1:30:48>> I do like it.
- 1:30:50This being able to see each other's
- 1:30:52faces is really nice.
- 1:30:57Sophie,
- 1:30:59can you move closer to your phone?
- 1:31:02>> Sure. Why?
- 1:31:04>> I want to see you more clearly.
- 1:31:15Since then, Lucas and I occasionally
- 1:31:18kept in touch. Lucas, did you see it? So
- 1:31:21good.
- 1:31:23>> I did. I'm watching it now.
- 1:31:25>> I'm telling you, Nightstar is seriously
- 1:31:27so handsome.
- 1:31:35Lucas, are you even watching it? Why do
- 1:31:39you look so weird?
- 1:31:40>> Uh, yeah. I I watched it. Then you watch
- 1:31:44it.
- 1:31:47>> Has it really stupid?
- 1:31:57>> Turn the camera around.
- 1:32:00Turn the TV off.
- 1:32:01>> Oh, okay. Hey, I'll turn off the TV
- 1:32:05first.
- 1:32:07>> Watch the TV. TV is off, too.
- 1:32:12Uh-huh.
- 1:32:16>> Oh, right. There's one more thing more
- 1:32:19important than TV shows.
- 1:32:21>> What is it?
- 1:32:22>> I got a fantastic interview opportunity.
- 1:32:25If I pass, I can directly enroll in the
- 1:32:28partnered university.
- 1:32:30But I'll have to train intensely now. I
- 1:32:32won't be able to check my phone much.
- 1:32:36>> Okay, that's good.
- 1:32:41I'll send you lots of messages.
- 1:32:44So, whenever you check your phone,
- 1:32:45you'll see what I'm up to.
- 1:32:50Good luck. Great answer.
- 1:32:55Ben, Lucas,
- 1:32:58if I pass,
- 1:33:01could you promise me one thing?
- 1:33:08>> Sure.
- 1:33:10>> You agreed without even asking?
- 1:33:12>> I'd agree to anything.
- 1:33:16>> Sophie. Sophie,
- 1:33:18>> my dad is calling me. I got to go.
- 1:33:21>> Wait.
- 1:33:34I guess her request [music] might be
- 1:34:06Are wantons really that good?
- 1:34:14>> [music]
- 1:34:19>> Mom,
- 1:34:21what's wrong?
- 1:34:28>> Luke,
- 1:34:30>> I I'm here. Mom,
- 1:34:33>> your dad left.
- 1:34:40>> What did you say?
- 1:34:44I went to the site to find him. They all
- 1:34:48told me
- 1:34:50he's been with a female worker from out
- 1:34:52of town for over half a year. Last
- 1:34:55month, he said his boss withheld his pay
- 1:34:59and didn't bring home a scent.
- 1:35:01That wasn't true.
- 1:35:07It was him. He took all that money. took
- 1:35:11that woman
- 1:35:13and ran off to who knows where.
- 1:35:16Luke, our world just fell apart.
- 1:35:37>> Kid, no use asking around here. Just go
- 1:35:40home. Your dad doesn't work here
- 1:35:42anymore.
- 1:35:42>> Then where did he go? You must know.
- 1:35:45>> What's the point of knowing? Heard he
- 1:35:47went down south, Brighton, Sunport.
- 1:35:50Who knows? [music]
- 1:35:51Took the money, took his lady friend,
- 1:35:53and went off to live the high life.
- 1:35:56You won't find him. Go home, kid.
- 1:36:38Mom.
- 1:36:43Mom.
- 1:36:55>> How is she, doctor?
- 1:36:57>> Good thing you found her early. She's
- 1:36:59out of danger. She should wake up soon.
- 1:37:16Hello. Hi, this is Lucas Shaw.
- 1:37:21There's a family emergency.
- 1:37:25I might need to take some time off.
- 1:37:28I'm not sure for how long yet. [music]
- 1:37:32Yeah,
- 1:37:34thank you.
- 1:37:38Okay,
- 1:37:53Lucas, you haven't texted me back all
- 1:37:56day. I'm so exhausted. Let me tell you,
- 1:37:59Lucas.
- 1:38:01What's wrong? Why does it look like
- 1:38:04you're in a hospital?
- 1:38:11>> No, just out dealing with some stuff.
- 1:38:15>> What's wrong? Did something happen?
- 1:38:17>> It's nothing.
- 1:38:19Focus on your training. Once I'm done
- 1:38:21here, I'll give you a call.
- 1:38:25Got to go.
- 1:38:28Was
- 1:38:42that Sophie?
- 1:38:45>> Mom, why are you out of bed?
- 1:38:49Mom,
- 1:38:50>> she called you, right? Did she ask you
- 1:38:53to go see her? Luke, tell mom the truth.
- 1:38:57No, mom. It's not like that.
- 1:39:00She just called me to talk about school.
- 1:39:03Seriously, let's go back inside.
- 1:39:05>> Your dad left. Are you leaving, too?
- 1:39:08Luke, you're all I have left.
- 1:39:11>> No, Mom.
- 1:39:13>> If you leave, too. You all think this
- 1:39:16family is a burden. I knew it. I knew
- 1:39:19none of you would stay.
- 1:39:21>> Hey, Mom.
- 1:39:22>> I knew you wouldn't stay.
- 1:39:23>> Mom, please calm down. Mom.
- 1:39:27You all left. You think this family is a
- 1:39:30burden. I knew you wouldn't stay. You're
- 1:39:32just like your dad.
- 1:39:34>> Mom, look at me. Mom, I'm not going
- 1:39:37anywhere. I'll stay right here with you.
- 1:39:40Okay.
- 1:39:42I'm not going anywhere.
- 1:39:45Come on, Mom.
- 1:39:47Let's go back inside. Okay,
- 1:39:50let's go. Is your wound okay?
- 1:40:24Sofh, you actually did it. Paris, this
- 1:40:27is Paris we're talking about.
- 1:40:30But does Lucas know about this? What
- 1:40:33about him?
- 1:40:35He'd definitely be happy for me.
- 1:40:37Besides, communication is so easy now.
- 1:40:40It's not like I'm falling off the grid.
- 1:40:42We can video call and text. I can come
- 1:40:45back during the holidays. Plus, he
- 1:40:50But I haven't been able to reach him
- 1:40:51lately. He hasn't replied to my
- 1:40:54messages.
- 1:40:55Oh, it's fine. Maybe he's busy with
- 1:40:57competitions or has stuff going on at
- 1:40:59home. Don't overthink it. Let me see
- 1:41:01this again.
- 1:41:03>> Last night was the second time. Luckily,
- 1:41:05we caught it in time. Your mother's
- 1:41:06current condition is highly unstable.
- 1:41:08It's best that you don't let her out of
- 1:41:10your sight for too long. She can't
- 1:41:12handle a third time. Do you understand?
- 1:41:15I understand. Thank you, doctor.
- 1:41:36Mom, I left some hot water by your bed
- 1:41:40last night. I just went back to get some
- 1:41:43money. I wasn't really leaving.
- 1:41:46I'm not him. I won't leave. He left, but
- 1:41:50I'm still here. As long as we're
- 1:41:52together, we still have a home, right?
- 1:41:57Mom,
- 1:42:00just promise me you won't hurt yourself
- 1:42:02again and I'll never leave you behind.
- 1:42:08Trust me,
- 1:42:10okay?
- 1:42:28I'll go downstairs to pay the bill in a
- 1:42:29bit. Just get some rest.
- 1:42:33When you wake up, give me a call and
- 1:42:36I'll come right up.
- 1:42:58You finally picked up. Where have you
- 1:43:00been these past few days? You didn't
- 1:43:02reply to my texts or answer my calls. I
- 1:43:05was worried sick. Are you okay?
- 1:43:07>> I'm fine. Go ahead.
- 1:43:10I got in, Lucas. I finally did it.
- 1:43:15That theater company, you know, the
- 1:43:17Royal Theater I missed before. I can
- 1:43:20finally go to the Royal Theater to study
- 1:43:22ballet,
- 1:43:24but this means I'll be going to Paris in
- 1:43:27the second half of the year. Keeping in
- 1:43:30touch might be a bit trickier. There
- 1:43:32will be a time difference, but yeah.
- 1:43:37>> Congratulations, Sophie.
- 1:43:40Lucas, what's wrong? Why do you sound so
- 1:43:43weird?
- 1:43:45>> Let's just end it here.
- 1:43:46>> Sophie,
- 1:43:48>> what do you mean?
- 1:43:50>> We
- 1:43:52We are just from two different worlds.
- 1:43:54You belong in Paris on the best stage.
- 1:43:58And I
- 1:44:02I should stay here.
- 1:44:04Keep moving forward. Don't look back and
- 1:44:08don't wait for me.
- 1:44:10>> Lucas, what are you talking about? Did
- 1:44:13something happen? Tell me.
- 1:44:19>> Let's not talk anymore.
- 1:44:50Wow, congrats. Sofh?
- 1:44:54Sof, what's wrong?
- 1:45:07You can call me Miss Fiona for your
- 1:45:10national ballet tour. I will be fully in
- 1:45:12charge. Hello, Miss Fiona.
- 1:45:14>> These are the stage looks the wardrobe
- 1:45:15team designed to match the stage
- 1:45:17effects. There are 10 looks in total.
- 1:45:19Take [music] your pick. I recommend the
- 1:45:20third one. Okay, let me see. Your
- 1:45:23national tour starts in just a week.
- 1:45:25You'll have at most 5 days off before we
- 1:45:27start rehearsals, and this was the
- 1:45:29absolute most I could manage to get for
- 1:45:31you.
- 1:45:32>> Thank you, Ms. Fiona. I appreciate your
- 1:45:34effort. Actually, I'm really curious.
- 1:45:36What kind of urgent matter do you have
- 1:45:38to handle right now?
- 1:45:44There is a place I just have to go to.
- 1:45:49[music]
- 1:46:00>> It's been 5 years. This place hasn't
- 1:46:02changed a bit. It has changed. How could
- 1:46:04it not? Your aunt Mary is getting older
- 1:46:07by the day. If you hadn't come back, I
- 1:46:09would have forgotten what you even look
- 1:46:11like.
- 1:46:11>> Then take a good look. Am I prettier
- 1:46:13now?
- 1:46:14>> Yeah, even prettier. Our sofa has always
- 1:46:17been pretty.
- 1:46:29Next door has been empty for years. Ever
- 1:46:31since the incident with the Shaws, it
- 1:46:33wasn't long before Lucas moved away with
- 1:46:36his mom. I wonder how they're doing out
- 1:46:38there.
- 1:46:39Ah. Oh my. How did I forget? I've got
- 1:46:43soup on the stove. Aunt Mary, let me
- 1:46:46help you.
- 1:47:12Sophie.
- 1:47:26It really is you. When did you get back
- 1:47:29to Willowville?
- 1:47:33>> Just got back today.
- 1:47:36>> Hold on. Give me a sec. I got to take
- 1:47:39this. Hey, Dad.
- 1:47:41I'm here. Heading back now.
- 1:47:45It's been forever. Anyway, when you're
- 1:47:47free, we definitely need to catch up. I
- 1:47:49got to head back now. Talk to you later.
- 1:47:51>> Sure. Keep in touch.
- 1:47:53>> Bye.
- 1:47:59We
- 1:48:01were just from different worlds.
- 1:48:04So, let's not contact each other
- 1:48:05anymore.
- 1:48:07Don't look back and don't wait for me.
- 1:48:12>> Hey, Mom.
- 1:48:13>> Son, where did you go?
- 1:48:16>> I'm in Willowville. I'm just running
- 1:48:18some errands here. Willowville. Yeah.
- 1:48:21Get some rest. I'll visit you at the
- 1:48:23nursing home in a few days. Don't worry.
- 1:48:29This place looks like it's been
- 1:48:32abandoned for ages.
- 1:48:36The lights on. Is somebody inside?
- 1:49:09Lucas.
- 1:49:37Long time no see.
- 1:49:47Long time no see.
- 1:50:22Didn't you say you'd return in 2 days?
- 1:50:26You little liar. Tricking me again.
- 1:50:50Stop.
- 1:51:12Why are you here?
- 1:51:18What do you mean? Why am I here? Lucas,
- 1:51:21what do you take me for? Don't think
- 1:51:23that just because you said nothing, I
- 1:51:25wouldn't find out.
- 1:51:27Aunt Mary, did something happen to
- 1:51:30Lucas's family.
- 1:51:35Oh, I see.
- 1:51:40Driver, take me to the train station,
- 1:51:43please. Hurry. Thank you.
- 1:51:50This is my own business. It has nothing
- 1:51:52to do with you.
- 1:51:58Something this big happened to your
- 1:51:59family. Why didn't you tell me? How long
- 1:52:02were you going to carry this alone? Do
- 1:52:05you have any idea how worried I was
- 1:52:07about you?
- 1:52:11Who does that?
- 1:52:13Just disappearing without a word when
- 1:52:16things go wrong. Do you think you're
- 1:52:18being noble? No, you're just a coward.
- 1:52:24If you ever do this again, I'll ignore
- 1:52:27you forever.
- 1:52:30>> Sophie,
- 1:52:35I'm scared.
- 1:52:39I was afraid that if I fell,
- 1:52:42I'd never be able to get back up. How
- 1:52:44could I drag you down with me?
- 1:52:47>> You're not dragging me down. I'll stay
- 1:52:50by your side and face it together.
- 1:52:53Didn't you tell me yourself? Dawn in
- 1:52:55Willowville is always on time. The sun
- 1:52:58will always rise.
- 1:53:00Don't leave me behind.
- 1:53:04>> Silly.
- 1:53:06>> Aren't you silly for pushing me away? If
- 1:53:09I had really believed you, what would
- 1:53:11you do?
- 1:53:12>> I don't know,
- 1:53:16>> darling. We walked so far past the
- 1:53:21winter then it's a promise day by day
- 1:53:24we'll face it together you can't back
- 1:53:25confirming over and over I'll go study
- 1:53:27abroad
- 1:53:29>> to pursue my dreams and you should isn't
- 1:53:32so far
- 1:53:33>> no matter what we face in because you'll
- 1:53:35step forward we must always keep in
- 1:53:37touch and never be apart closer to me
- 1:53:41again and again
- 1:53:43>> okay
- 1:53:45>> it's a promise darling We stride ahead
- 1:53:50to where we belong
- 1:53:52and promise for tomorrow.
- 1:53:59After that, Lucas and I started a 4-year
- 1:54:01longd distanceance relationship.
- 1:54:04>> So, how are things over there?
- 1:54:07>> Well, everything's fine. It's just that
- 1:54:11the western food here, I really can't
- 1:54:13get used to it. And the director is
- 1:54:16super strict. The students here are all
- 1:54:19so amazing.
- 1:54:20>> Let me tell you some good news.
- 1:54:23>> I got accepted to Tech University and I
- 1:54:26even got a scholarship.
- 1:54:29>> That's great. I knew you could do it.
- 1:54:32>> Sophie, take your time.
- 1:54:35>> You can do it, too. Okay.
- 1:54:39The weather in Paris is unpredictable.
- 1:54:42But luckily, Lucas and I didn't let the
- 1:54:44Paris rain or time difference tear us
- 1:54:46apart.
- 1:54:48You were absolutely right. It's raining
- 1:54:51again.
- 1:54:52>> That's good. Otherwise, you catch a cold
- 1:54:55again.
- 1:55:06Night.
- 1:55:44What? Cat got your tongue?
- 1:55:55You've got naughty abroad tricking me
- 1:55:58like that.
- 1:56:03Aren't you happy to see me? Aren't you
- 1:56:05surprised?
- 1:56:15>> How long are you staying this time?
- 1:56:17>> Just a few days. I'm not lying about
- 1:56:19that. The director really asked me to
- 1:56:21stay and train.
- 1:56:23>> Got it.
- 1:56:25>> Is your mom feeling any better? The
- 1:56:27doctor said she's recovering quite well.
- 1:56:30>> Hey, why don't we go somewhere indoors,
- 1:56:32so we can chat.
- 1:56:36>> No, I finally got the chance to come
- 1:56:39back. You should show me around your
- 1:56:40school, especially the places you
- 1:56:42usually go.
- 1:56:44>> All right,
- 1:56:53look over there. That's the library.
- 1:56:57If I'm not in the lab or working my
- 1:56:59part-time job,
- 1:57:01that's where I usually stay.
- 1:57:10>> Sophie, you're getting naughty.
- 1:57:13>> I just think you being so serious is too
- 1:57:17cute.
- 1:57:19>> Then is this side not cute?
- 1:57:23>> H, not quite.
- 1:57:29You sure you don't want me to take you
- 1:57:31to the airport?
- 1:57:34>> I'm afraid it'll be too hard. Then I
- 1:57:37wouldn't want to leave.
- 1:57:40>> Don't be sad. I'll visit you next time.
- 1:57:44>> Okay.
- 1:57:48>> I'll get going then.
- 1:58:27Lucas, see you next time. I'll miss you.
- 1:58:32>> See you.
- 1:58:39>> After that brief meeting, Lucas and I
- 1:58:41went back to a long-distance
- 1:58:43relationship. It was around autumn 2
- 1:58:45years ago. Lucas's dad suddenly showed
- 1:58:48up at the nursing home.
- 1:58:52>> Lucas
- 1:59:07all these years. How have you and your
- 1:59:09mom been?
- 1:59:14I know I'm the one who let you and your
- 1:59:16mom down, but after all these years, I
- 1:59:20still care about you two.
- 1:59:21>> If you came back this time just to
- 1:59:23apologize, then you shouldn't have come
- 1:59:25to me.
- 1:59:26>> Hey, wait. Lucas,
- 1:59:29could you please beg your mom to divorce
- 1:59:33me?
- 1:59:40This is your little brother.
- 1:59:43He's about to start school soon. So, he
- 1:59:45needs to be registered. I wouldn't have
- 1:59:47come to you if I had a choice. My mom
- 1:59:49never gave me a little brother.
- 1:59:51>> Lucas,
- 1:59:52just help your dad out. Okay.
- 1:59:55>> Do I have to get on my knees and beg
- 1:59:56you?
- 1:59:57>> John Shaw,
- 1:59:58kneeling is no big deal.
- 2:00:01>> Mom,
- 2:00:03>> I agree to the divorce.
- 2:00:12I agree to a divorce.
- 2:00:16>> Mom, you go back and rest. I can handle
- 2:00:18this.
- 2:00:19>> No, Luke. This is something I should
- 2:00:21have faced. This is something I should
- 2:00:23have faced and dealt with a long time
- 2:00:24ago.
- 2:00:25>> Don't worry now. I know exactly what I'm
- 2:00:27doing.
- 2:00:27>> I know exactly what I'm doing.
- 2:00:29[sighs and gasps]
- 2:00:30>> Sigh. Looks like you're better now. I've
- 2:00:33been so worried all these years.
- 2:00:35>> Enough, John Shaw. Stop saying things
- 2:00:37that only make you feel good about
- 2:00:38yourself. Don't you think saying that is
- 2:00:40just disgusting? I
- 2:00:44Congratulations. You can finally openly
- 2:00:47get rid of the two of us. Ever since
- 2:00:49Luke lost his hearing, you've been
- 2:00:51wanting to do this.
- 2:00:52>> That's not true. I feel so guilty about
- 2:00:55Luke, too.
- 2:00:56>> You guilty? Your guilt is just
- 2:00:59constantly running away and finally
- 2:01:01abandoning us to start a family with
- 2:01:03another woman. What did Luke ever do
- 2:01:06wrong to suffer the consequences of your
- 2:01:08actions for no reason?
- 2:01:16I just hate that I didn't wake up
- 2:01:19sooner,
- 2:01:21see through you, and leave you.
- 2:01:32I'll agree to the divorce, but from now
- 2:01:34on, don't bother me and Luke again. If
- 2:01:37you still have any shred of conscience
- 2:01:39left as his father.
- 2:01:41>> All right. What about the paperwork?
- 2:01:43>> I'll have a lawyer contact you. But for
- 2:01:45now, please leave immediately.
- 2:01:51When I was little, I could never figure
- 2:01:54out
- 2:01:55why I never blamed you.
- 2:01:59Yet you always felt so guilty.
- 2:02:05Then I finally understood.
- 2:02:09It wasn't me who couldn't accept my
- 2:02:11disability.
- 2:02:14It was you using my deafness as an
- 2:02:17excuse for your own cowardice.
- 2:02:20You were the one who could never accept
- 2:02:22having a disabled son.
- 2:02:27Right.
- 2:02:29>> I
- 2:02:36>> Mom, I'm sorry. You've suffered so much.
- 2:02:40>> I didn't suffer all these years. You're
- 2:02:44the one who suffered, Luke.
- 2:02:46>> It's okay.
- 2:02:49I'm doing fine.
- 2:02:52I'm doing fine now, too.
- 2:02:56>> After that day, Lucas lost his father,
- 2:02:59but he got back a mother brave enough to
- 2:03:01cut away the rot.
- 2:03:10>> Until
- 2:03:12I'll pick you up then.
- 2:03:14>> I came back early to give Lucas a
- 2:03:16surprise.
- 2:03:18Didn't you say you'd be back in 2 days?
- 2:03:20Little liar. Tricking me again.
- 2:03:24>> I just wanted to surprise you. I didn't
- 2:03:27want you to work so hard. If you knew I
- 2:03:29was coming back early, you'd pull
- 2:03:31allnighters for your experiments. I was
- 2:03:34just worried about you.
- 2:03:35>> So, how long are you staying this time?
- 2:03:38>> A few days, I guess.
- 2:03:43>> Disappointed. Mad at me?
- 2:03:46>> No.
- 2:03:47We've only been apart for 106 days,
- 2:03:515 hours, 4 minutes, and 20 seconds.
- 2:03:55>> You kept such close track.
- 2:03:58But for the next little while, I'll be
- 2:04:00on a domestic tour. So, if we want to
- 2:04:03see each other, we'll definitely have
- 2:04:05time.
- 2:04:06>> Really?
- 2:04:07>> Yeah.
- 2:04:08I got an invite from a local dance
- 2:04:10company. I'll be in the country for the
- 2:04:13whole tour.
- 2:04:15That's awesome.
- 2:04:21Tonight.
- 2:04:23>> Yeah.
- 2:04:24>> Well,
- 2:04:27Aunt Mary's son got married. They
- 2:04:30probably don't have a
- 2:04:33room for you now.
- 2:04:36How about I take you to a hotel in town
- 2:04:38for the night?
- 2:04:41>> Is that my only option, Lucas?
- 2:04:47If you don't mind,
- 2:04:49you can stay at my place.
- 2:04:51>> Okay.
- 2:05:02I'm done showering.
- 2:05:13I've made the bed for you. Tonight, you
- 2:05:16can just
- 2:05:18sleep in my bed for now.
- 2:05:22I'll make do with the couch outside.
- 2:05:26>> Hey,
- 2:05:27am I really that unattractive?
- 2:05:30Lucas, you're such a blockhead.
- 2:05:32>> Good night.
- 2:05:42Dummy.
- 2:06:06Lucas,
- 2:06:07what's wrong? Do you just not miss me at
- 2:06:10all, or are you
- 2:06:13actually incapable,
- 2:06:21dummy?
- 2:06:47Wait,
- 2:06:50how are you so good at this? Have you?
- 2:06:54>> So,
- 2:06:56you know, I'm a fast learner.
- 2:06:59Besides, this exact scenario has played
- 2:07:02out in my dreams countless times.
- 2:07:50You're awake?
- 2:07:51>> Yeah.
- 2:07:53>> Hungry?
- 2:07:54Yeah, I am. I want those soup dumplings
- 2:07:57from the east side.
- 2:07:59>> Okay, then let's get up and get dressed.
- 2:08:02We can walk around a bit today.
- 2:08:04>> Sounds good. And I want big wanttons for
- 2:08:07dinner tonight.
- 2:08:18>> Excuse me. Two bowls of big wanttons,
- 2:08:20please.
- 2:08:21>> Sure thing. Coming right up.
- 2:08:23It's been so long since we were here.
- 2:08:26>> It hasn't changed a bit.
- 2:08:29>> Here you go.
- 2:08:33>> Thanks.
- 2:08:36>> Thank you.
- 2:08:39>> You two, did you used to come here a
- 2:08:41lot?
- 2:08:44>> Yeah, you have a great memory. We came
- 2:08:47here all the time in high school.
- 2:08:49>> It really is you two. It's been so many
- 2:08:51years. So, you guys married now? Got
- 2:08:55kids and everything?
- 2:08:57>> No, you've got it wrong, sir.
- 2:08:59>> It's fine. It's fine. Normal for young
- 2:09:01folks to be shy. Enjoy your meal. Just
- 2:09:03holler if you need anything.
- 2:09:09Eat up.
- 2:09:14You guys married now. Lucas,
- 2:09:20>> what is it?
- 2:09:22>> What am I to you now?
- 2:09:3550 years, 12,000 m, 1,825
- 2:09:39days. What do you think you mean to me,
- 2:09:43Sofh?
- 2:09:53But you never confessed your feelings to
- 2:09:55me.
- 2:10:01>> I was scared.
- 2:10:05I didn't dare.
- 2:10:08I was afraid.
- 2:10:11Afraid you'd give up pairs for me.
- 2:10:13afraid you'd regret it one day.
- 2:10:17Afraid I'd hold you back.
- 2:10:20Sof,
- 2:10:21I never asked you if you'd stay for me.
- 2:10:26And I never dared to hope you change
- 2:10:28your life's path for me because you'll
- 2:10:31always be my only choice.
- 2:10:35But I can just be your backup option.
- 2:11:09silly.
- 2:11:11Who said you're my backup option? In my
- 2:11:14heart, you'll always be the best.
- 2:11:21No matter how long it's been. And who
- 2:11:25told you to wait? My studies in Paris
- 2:11:28finished a long time ago. The offer from
- 2:11:31Southgate Theater Company. I signed it
- 2:11:33last month. Lucas, we'll never be a part
- 2:11:36again.
- 2:11:38>> Really?
- 2:11:40Yeah.
- 2:11:49>> What are you doing?
- 2:11:51>> I'm happy.
- 2:11:53So,
- 2:11:54>> yeah.
- 2:11:55>> Let's go home.
- 2:11:59Maybe I should put this on the
- 2:12:01>> Have a seat.
- 2:12:04Don't be nervous. My dad won't eat you.
- 2:12:08No, I'm not nervous.
- 2:12:14>> Dad, let me formally introduce you. This
- 2:12:18is my boyfriend, Lucas Shaw.
- 2:12:21>> Hello, sir.
- 2:12:26>> I know who you are.
- 2:12:30>> You do?
- 2:12:32>> But I never said anything.
- 2:12:365 years ago, the night before I took you
- 2:12:38from Willville.
- 2:12:40>> My puppy,
- 2:12:43>> you two hugged at the alley for ages. I
- 2:12:45saw everything perfectly clearly.
- 2:12:50>> Dad, you saw all of that?
- 2:12:54>> Did you really think I am that old with
- 2:12:56your little tricks and that time two
- 2:12:58years ago when you came back from Paris?
- 2:13:04What? You just put your bags down and
- 2:13:06you are leaving already.
- 2:13:10>> Dad, Susan needs me for something.
- 2:13:13>> What is so urgent?
- 2:13:15>> It's just an emergency. Don't wait up
- 2:13:17for dinner. Dad, I'm heading out. Bye.
- 2:13:21>> You really can't keep a grown daughter.
- 2:13:26>> All right, Dad. Stop it.
- 2:13:28>> Um, sir, I
- 2:13:31>> All right. All right. I was just joking.
- 2:13:40Try this. Uh, this year's Emerald Spring
- 2:13:43Tea.
- 2:13:46Uh, relax.
- 2:13:48Whoever soft chooses can't be bad about
- 2:13:51you two. Uh,
- 2:13:55thank you, Dad. I know. I'm sorry, sir.
- 2:14:01>> It is just a matter of time.
- 2:14:09One month later, I went with Lucas for
- 2:14:11his colear implant surgery.
- 2:14:20You'll be fine. Don't be nervous.
- 2:14:34You're recovering very well. With your
- 2:14:36coclear implant, you can officially wrap
- 2:14:39up your rehab. The details of sound you
- 2:14:41can pick up now are getting very close
- 2:14:43to natural hearing.
- 2:14:45>> Thank you, doctor.
- 2:14:48>> The surgery was a great success.
- 2:15:04Did you hear that? The doctor said
- 2:15:07you're all better.
- 2:15:12Yeah, I heard it.
- 2:15:16So,
- 2:15:18let's go back to Willowville.
- 2:15:22I want to hear
- 2:15:25winter in Willowville.
- 2:15:362017.
- 2:15:38It says someone asked for his number and
- 2:15:40he said he lost his phone. Very clever.
- 2:15:43Didn't know you had it in you, Lucas.
- 2:15:45>> Sof, you can't read that.
- 2:15:50>> Let me see this one.
- 2:15:5217-year-old Lucas never thought that
- 2:15:55someone would stay for him until Sophie
- 2:15:58appeared, stopping for him like an
- 2:16:00angel. until Sophie appeared.
