Buttons (2018)

1
00:00:05,639 --> 00:00:10,142
<i>I never imagined
that in my family's darkest moment</i>

2
00:00:10,144 --> 00:00:11,877
<i>would come a miracle.</i>

3
00:00:13,114 --> 00:00:14,680
<i>Perhaps in the heavens,</i>

4
00:00:14,682 --> 00:00:16,215
<i>there are greater things at work</i>

5
00:00:16,217 --> 00:00:18,183
<i>than what we think we may know.</i>

6
00:00:20,388 --> 00:00:22,521
<i>And when it comes,</i>

7
00:00:22,523 --> 00:00:25,457
<i>sometimes it can be
as soft as a whisper.</i>

8
00:00:26,694 --> 00:00:30,029
<i>And so I've learned
to never stop listening.</i>

9
00:00:56,991 --> 00:00:58,724
<i>It was unlike
any other Christmas</i>

10
00:00:58,726 --> 00:01:00,692
<i>in Belford Hills.</i>

11
00:01:00,694 --> 00:01:03,195
<i>Amid the tinsel strewn over
the trees,</i>

12
00:01:03,197 --> 00:01:04,863
<i>the carols that fill the air</i>

13
00:01:04,865 --> 00:01:06,565
<i>and the excitement of children</i>

14
00:01:06,567 --> 00:01:09,101
<i>counting the days
till Christmas,</i>

15
00:01:09,103 --> 00:01:11,670
<i>there was something else
at work.</i>

16
00:01:11,672 --> 00:01:13,906
<i>Something magical indeed.</i>

17
00:01:45,706 --> 00:01:47,639
What is it?

18
00:01:47,641 --> 00:01:48,807
What is it, Annabelle?

19
00:01:48,809 --> 00:01:50,309
Oh, my goodness.

20
00:01:50,311 --> 00:01:52,044
"Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hill,"

21
00:01:52,046 --> 00:01:53,946
"there's a child
at Belford Hills Hospital"

22
00:01:53,948 --> 00:01:57,216
"who's in desperate need
of adoption."

23
00:01:57,218 --> 00:01:58,650
"Please come as soon
as possible."

24
00:01:58,652 --> 00:02:00,819
"Her name is Emily.
She'll be expecting you."

25
00:02:00,821 --> 00:02:02,287
"Sincerely, Rose."

26
00:02:06,727 --> 00:02:08,894
They found a child for us.

27
00:02:29,316 --> 00:02:31,583
<i>In the midst of the
festivities at Christmas...</i>

28
00:02:31,585 --> 00:02:33,118
Mother Genevieve?

29
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,320
<i>The sisters at St. Mary
were busy in their own way.</i>

30
00:02:35,322 --> 00:02:36,755
Mother Genevieve?

31
00:02:36,757 --> 00:02:38,690
<i>But they spent this time
looking after the poor,</i>

32
00:02:38,692 --> 00:02:39,791
<i>the downtrodden...</i>

33
00:02:39,793 --> 00:02:41,126
Sister Mary. Come in, come in.

34
00:02:41,128 --> 00:02:42,761
<i>And the uncared for.</i>

35
00:02:44,465 --> 00:02:47,266
Mother Genevieve,
I know I shouldn't have brought her here,

36
00:02:47,268 --> 00:02:48,700
but I didn't know
what else to do.

37
00:02:48,702 --> 00:02:50,802
I found her living in a boxcar,

38
00:02:50,804 --> 00:02:52,804
probably left behind
by the orphan train.

39
00:02:52,806 --> 00:02:54,506
She said her name is Emily.

40
00:02:54,508 --> 00:02:56,508
You did the right thing
coming here.

41
00:02:56,510 --> 00:02:58,076
Come on. Follow me.

42
00:02:59,947 --> 00:03:01,446
Put her in this bed.

43
00:03:06,387 --> 00:03:07,753
Poor child.

44
00:03:13,527 --> 00:03:14,760
Emily?

45
00:03:15,563 --> 00:03:17,729
Emily, can you hear me, dear?

46
00:03:19,567 --> 00:03:20,866
She's burning up.

47
00:03:25,406 --> 00:03:27,906
Where am I?

48
00:03:27,908 --> 00:03:30,342
You're going to be
all right now, dear.

49
00:03:30,344 --> 00:03:31,410
You're safe.

50
00:03:34,648 --> 00:03:36,582
Mother Genevieve,

51
00:03:36,584 --> 00:03:38,317
may I speak with you
for a moment?

52
00:03:43,657 --> 00:03:45,857
Why did you bring her here?

53
00:03:45,859 --> 00:03:48,093
You know this is not
a shelter for children.

54
00:03:50,030 --> 00:03:53,398
Please accept this rosary.
It has silver in it,

55
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,500
and it will pay for
at least one night.

56
00:03:57,771 --> 00:03:59,071
Let me take a look at her.

57
00:04:02,276 --> 00:04:04,610
She has a high fever.

58
00:04:04,612 --> 00:04:06,712
Let's just hope
it's not influenza.

59
00:04:06,714 --> 00:04:09,281
I want her hydrated
and isolated.

60
00:04:09,283 --> 00:04:10,949
And this is not to happen again.

61
00:04:10,951 --> 00:04:14,019
No more. This is
a private hospital.

62
00:04:14,021 --> 00:04:16,922
These beds are
for people who can pay.

63
00:04:16,924 --> 00:04:17,990
Thank you, Doctor.

64
00:04:32,740 --> 00:04:34,640
"And it was always said of him"

65
00:04:34,642 --> 00:04:36,475
"that he knew how
to keep Christmas well."

66
00:04:36,477 --> 00:04:39,378
"If any man alive
possessed the knowledge,"

67
00:04:39,380 --> 00:04:41,546
"may that be truly said of us,"

68
00:04:41,548 --> 00:04:43,215
"and all of us."

69
00:04:43,217 --> 00:04:46,451
"And so as Tiny Tim observed,."

70
00:04:46,453 --> 00:04:49,321
"God bless us everyone."

71
00:04:49,323 --> 00:04:51,423
Can you read it again?

72
00:04:51,425 --> 00:04:52,591
It's getting late.

73
00:04:52,593 --> 00:04:54,926
But it's Christmas Eve.

74
00:04:54,928 --> 00:04:56,228
Yes, darling.

75
00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:58,764
And happily now,
there'll be many more to come.

76
00:04:58,766 --> 00:05:01,466
And not only will I read you
more wonderful stories,

77
00:05:01,468 --> 00:05:03,468
I'll also sing you
Christmas carols,

78
00:05:03,470 --> 00:05:04,636
and teach you to dance.

79
00:05:05,072 --> 00:05:06,138
Promise?

80
00:05:06,140 --> 00:05:07,339
Well, you know, every young girl

81
00:05:07,341 --> 00:05:09,074
should know how to dance.

82
00:05:09,076 --> 00:05:10,475
Thanks, Papa.

83
00:05:18,585 --> 00:05:20,118
Holy Mary,

84
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,853
mother of God,

85
00:05:21,855 --> 00:05:25,691
be a mother to
all my children tonight.

86
00:05:25,693 --> 00:05:28,994
Protect them, take care of them,

87
00:05:28,996 --> 00:05:34,199
and, Lord, please,
help Emily this night.

88
00:05:34,201 --> 00:05:37,436
Send your angels
to watch over her,

89
00:05:37,438 --> 00:05:39,271
to guard and protect her.

90
00:05:44,645 --> 00:05:48,680
In your name we pray,
Lord. Amen.

91
00:06:08,168 --> 00:06:10,435
No need to be alarmed, dear.

92
00:06:13,006 --> 00:06:15,874
Would you like hot chocolate
or peppermint tea?

93
00:06:18,645 --> 00:06:20,178
Now, there are
a great many things

94
00:06:20,180 --> 00:06:21,646
that I don't know about,

95
00:06:21,648 --> 00:06:25,517
but what I do know
is that a cup of hot chocolate

96
00:06:25,519 --> 00:06:27,452
does wonders for the mind.

97
00:06:29,890 --> 00:06:31,923
Go on. Try some.

98
00:06:37,231 --> 00:06:38,296
You see?

99
00:06:40,401 --> 00:06:42,434
But let's keep this between us.

100
00:06:42,436 --> 00:06:45,337
The doctors might
not agree with me.

101
00:06:45,339 --> 00:06:47,572
Now, for a proper introduction.

102
00:06:47,574 --> 00:06:49,408
My name is Rose.

103
00:06:50,077 --> 00:06:51,343
I'm Emily.

104
00:06:52,780 --> 00:06:55,781
I've never seen you here before.

105
00:06:55,783 --> 00:06:59,518
Yes, I... I have
been a bit delayed.

106
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,720
Now, let's see.

107
00:07:01,722 --> 00:07:03,855
What are we going
to do with you?

108
00:07:06,427 --> 00:07:08,260
Open wide.

109
00:07:08,262 --> 00:07:09,461
Go on.

110
00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:16,368
If your temperature
is 98.5 and below,

111
00:07:16,370 --> 00:07:18,270
it means you have a chill,

112
00:07:18,272 --> 00:07:21,139
and more hot chocolate
should suffice.

113
00:07:21,141 --> 00:07:24,709
But if it's between
99 and 100 degrees,

114
00:07:24,711 --> 00:07:26,111
then you're running a fever,

115
00:07:26,113 --> 00:07:30,048
and ice cream might
be more appropriate.

116
00:07:30,050 --> 00:07:33,452
Now, anything over 100...

117
00:07:33,454 --> 00:07:34,553
Oh, dear.

118
00:07:38,325 --> 00:07:41,726
Oh, well.
There's no doubt about it.

119
00:07:41,728 --> 00:07:44,129
I need to read you a story.

120
00:07:44,131 --> 00:07:45,831
A story?

121
00:07:45,833 --> 00:07:48,834
I don't see any reason
to think otherwise.

122
00:07:50,737 --> 00:07:53,104
Now, let me see...

123
00:07:53,106 --> 00:07:57,008
I... I have long stories,
short stories,

124
00:07:57,010 --> 00:07:59,544
adventures, westerns.

125
00:08:01,748 --> 00:08:03,748
Oh, what about a fairy tale?

126
00:08:07,254 --> 00:08:09,187
Now we must begin

127
00:08:09,189 --> 00:08:12,324
where every story begins.

128
00:08:14,261 --> 00:08:18,163
"Once upon a time,
a long time ago,

129
00:08:18,165 --> 00:08:20,465
"in a place called Millbury,

130
00:08:20,467 --> 00:08:23,535
"during a time when
the rich were very rich,

131
00:08:23,537 --> 00:08:25,871
"and the poor very poor.

132
00:08:25,873 --> 00:08:28,106
<i>"In fact, so poor</i>

133
00:08:28,108 --> 00:08:31,776
<i>"that even the children
were sent to work at the mills</i>

134
00:08:31,778 --> 00:08:34,646
<i>"for the great robber barons."</i>

135
00:08:34,648 --> 00:08:37,616
"In that time,
a young child was born"

136
00:08:37,618 --> 00:08:39,651
"named Annabelle"

137
00:08:39,653 --> 00:08:43,321
"to a family that lived
by the sea."

138
00:08:43,323 --> 00:08:45,690
"Annabelle's father, William,"

139
00:08:45,692 --> 00:08:48,026
"captained his own
trading vessel,"

140
00:08:48,829 --> 00:08:51,463
"and Annabelle's mother, Sarah,"

141
00:08:51,465 --> 00:08:56,067
"made their home
a loving and joyful place."

142
00:08:56,069 --> 00:08:59,070
"Their happiness
was nearly complete"

143
00:08:59,072 --> 00:09:04,709
"until suddenly Annabelle
contracted scarlet fever."

144
00:09:04,711 --> 00:09:08,213
"So her father
rushed home from the sea,"

145
00:09:08,215 --> 00:09:11,950
<i>"for Annabelle was not
expected to live."</i>

146
00:09:23,864 --> 00:09:27,065
Her fever still hasn't broken.

147
00:09:27,067 --> 00:09:29,734
I'm sorry, I've done
everything I know to do.

148
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,206
There has to be something.

149
00:09:35,208 --> 00:09:36,608
You have to help her.

150
00:09:36,610 --> 00:09:37,676
Sarah.

151
00:09:39,179 --> 00:09:40,845
Continue applying
a cool compress,

152
00:09:40,847 --> 00:09:42,480
and keep her as comfortable
as you can.

153
00:09:51,525 --> 00:09:53,725
Thank you for coming
so late, Doctor.

154
00:09:53,727 --> 00:09:55,193
Doctor, your carriage is ready.

155
00:09:57,230 --> 00:09:59,531
I'm sorry, William.

156
00:09:59,533 --> 00:10:00,599
Take care of her.

157
00:10:11,812 --> 00:10:13,645
William, we can save her.

158
00:10:13,647 --> 00:10:15,080
I'll bring her fresh water.

159
00:10:15,082 --> 00:10:16,715
If we can just keep her cool.

160
00:10:18,285 --> 00:10:19,451
Oh, Sarah.

161
00:10:22,923 --> 00:10:25,790
We can break the fever in time.

162
00:10:25,792 --> 00:10:27,025
I know we can.

163
00:10:35,636 --> 00:10:37,335
God help us.

whenever you turn this handle,

322
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,407
the melody will be carried

over wave upon wave
until it reaches my ship,

324
00:21:19,779 --> 00:21:21,612
and I will hear it,

325
00:21:21,614 --> 00:21:23,381

you're thinking of me.

326
00:21:27,287 --> 00:21:28,786

Unless we set sail
before the wind changes,

334
00:21:59,319 --> 00:22:02,520
I fear my journey will take
twice as long.

335
00:22:02,522 --> 00:22:05,890
Annabelle, why don't you
go wash up before we eat?

336
00:22:07,026 --> 00:22:08,092
Okay.

337
00:22:14,434 --> 00:22:16,200

00:24:45,017 --> 00:24:46,350
Father!

361
00:24:46,352 --> 00:24:47,685
Father, wait!

362
00:24:52,024 --> 00:24:53,224
Don't go.

363
00:24:55,795 --> 00:24:58,295
Take care of your mother for me.

364
00:25:25,191 --> 00:25:27,525
Was it dangerous
where he was going?

365
00:25:28,327 --> 00:25:30,794
Oh, yes. Quite dangerous.

366
00:25:33,065 --> 00:25:37,635
"Her father's journey would
take him away for over a year,"

367
00:25:37,637 --> 00:25:40,704
"and although his letters
came frequently,."

368
00:25:40,706 --> 00:25:43,440
"Annabelle still missed
him dearly."

369
00:25:45,344 --> 00:25:47,344
"Months passed."

370
00:25:47,346 --> 00:25:51,315
<i>"Summer with all of its
festivities quickly approached,"</i>

371
00:25:51,317 --> 00:25:55,819
<i>"and with it came the annual
4th of July parade."</i>

372
00:25:56,556 --> 00:25:58,656
4th of July souvenirs.

373
00:25:58,658 --> 00:26:00,591
Get your souvenirs.

374
00:26:00,593 --> 00:26:03,761
Toffees, streamers,
toys and more.

375
00:26:20,346 --> 00:26:23,447
"Annabelle didn't see
much reason to celebrate."

376
00:26:23,449 --> 00:26:26,584
"I mean, the happy festivities
surrounding Millbury"

377
00:26:26,586 --> 00:26:29,453
"only made her miss
her father more."

378
00:26:29,455 --> 00:26:31,855
"In fact, she became determined"

379
00:26:31,857 --> 00:26:33,691
"not to be happy."

380
00:26:33,693 --> 00:26:39,029
"Her attitude was glum and
in sore need of improvement."

381
00:26:39,031 --> 00:26:41,065
"But little did Annabelle know"

382
00:26:41,067 --> 00:26:43,300
"her angel was about to return"

383
00:26:43,302 --> 00:26:45,936
"to help her with just that."

384
00:26:55,581 --> 00:26:56,780
There you are.

385
00:26:56,782 --> 00:26:58,816
My, don't you look pretty.

386
00:26:58,818 --> 00:26:59,984
Thank you.

387
00:27:02,321 --> 00:27:04,121
I smell popcorn.

388
00:27:04,123 --> 00:27:05,222
You want some?

389
00:27:05,224 --> 00:27:06,290
Oh...

390
00:27:06,993 --> 00:27:08,292
No, sir.

391
00:27:08,294 --> 00:27:09,560
Oh?

392
00:27:09,562 --> 00:27:13,163
You see, I had a penny,
but then I spent it.

393
00:27:13,165 --> 00:27:14,365
Oh, I see.

394
00:27:15,501 --> 00:27:17,267
Here you go.

395
00:27:17,269 --> 00:27:18,969
For me? Yeah.

396
00:27:18,971 --> 00:27:20,037
Go ahead, try some.

397
00:27:26,679 --> 00:27:28,512
Mmm, delicious.

398
00:27:29,949 --> 00:27:32,149
You know, I knew a snail once

399
00:27:32,151 --> 00:27:33,350
who was a lot like you.

400
00:27:33,352 --> 00:27:34,985
A snail? Mmm-hmm.

401
00:27:34,987 --> 00:27:36,654
But he thought he was a whale.

402
00:27:36,656 --> 00:27:38,689
A whale? Yes.

Annabelle,

473
00:31:44,770 --> 00:31:46,970
you really must eat something.

474
00:31:48,607 --> 00:31:50,073
I'm not hungry.

475
00:32:02,688 --> 00:32:06,123
I know how hard it is,

476
00:32:07,593 --> 00:32:10,427
and how much we both
miss your father,

477
00:32:13,532 --> 00:32:15,766
but we must try to keep going.

478
00:32:30,649 --> 00:32:31,949
I'll tell you what.

479
00:32:32,918 --> 00:32:34,718
Why don't we go into town today?

480
00:32:37,289 --> 00:32:39,756
Come. Help me clear the table.

481
00:32:39,758 --> 00:32:40,824
Then we'll go.

482
00:32:52,438 --> 00:32:53,770
There you are.

483
00:33:03,949 --> 00:33:05,816
Dr. Lewis. So good to see you.

484
00:33:05,818 --> 00:33:07,951
Good morning, Mrs. Kingsley.
Please come in.

485
00:33:07,953 --> 00:33:09,786
I was on my way into town
and I thought I would

486
00:33:09,788 --> 00:33:12,990
stop by and check in
on you and Annabelle.

487
00:33:12,992 --> 00:33:14,725
Annabelle, it's so nice
to see you.

488
00:33:20,632 --> 00:33:23,200
Annabelle, would it be all right

489
00:33:23,202 --> 00:33:24,868
if you went out without me?

490
00:33:24,870 --> 00:33:26,770
I'll be there
as soon as I can. Hmm?

491
00:33:35,481 --> 00:33:37,881
I'm so glad you came by today.

492
00:33:37,883 --> 00:33:40,617
I've been anxious to speak
with you about Annabelle.

493
00:33:43,355 --> 00:33:46,223
She is still barely
touching her food.

494
00:33:46,225 --> 00:33:48,825
And hardly speaking
a word, I'm...

495
00:33:48,827 --> 00:33:51,328
I'm at a loss for what to do.

496
00:33:51,330 --> 00:33:53,797
Annabelle just needs
time to adjust.

497
00:33:55,367 --> 00:33:56,566
Without William,

498
00:33:56,568 --> 00:33:59,102
we can no longer afford
to keep the house.

499
00:34:05,744 --> 00:34:07,144
I'm so sorry.

500
00:34:09,848 --> 00:34:11,381
Does Annabelle know?

501
00:34:12,151 --> 00:34:13,450
How can I tell her?

502
00:34:15,354 --> 00:34:18,922
Do you have any other family
who can help you?

503
00:34:18,924 --> 00:34:20,257
I have a stepsister,

504
00:34:20,259 --> 00:34:22,759
but she hasn't returned
any of my letters.

505
00:34:23,529 --> 00:34:25,462
This is my last attempt...

506
00:34:27,032 --> 00:34:29,499
- Look at me.
- What a mess.

507
00:34:29,501 --> 00:34:32,269
I'm afraid I can't
go out like this.

508
00:34:32,271 --> 00:34:33,603
Would you be so kind
and mail this

509
00:34:33,605 --> 00:34:34,871
on your way into town?

510
00:34:34,873 --> 00:34:37,707
Of course.
I'll send it right away.

511
00:34:37,709 --> 00:34:39,042
You must forgive me

512
00:34:39,044 --> 00:34:41,211
for burdening you
with our troubles.

513
00:34:41,213 --> 00:34:42,512
Let me show you out.

514
00:34:42,514 --> 00:34:45,415
I'm sure your sister
will come through.

515
00:34:45,417 --> 00:34:47,651
Yes. Yes, of course.

516
00:34:55,294 --> 00:34:57,894
I assume you saw this letter
in the post today.

517
00:34:57,896 --> 00:34:58,962
Indeed.

518
00:34:58,964 --> 00:35:00,397
What are we to do?

519
00:35:01,733 --> 00:35:04,868
If we show your stepsister
leniency on her rent now,

520
00:35:04,870 --> 00:35:06,169
where does it end?

521
00:35:07,272 --> 00:35:08,772
On the other hand,
if we don't help her

522
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,941
and she can't take care
of herself and the child,

523
00:35:10,943 --> 00:35:13,410
for all we know, she could
end up on the street.

524
00:35:13,412 --> 00:35:14,845
What would people say?

525
00:35:16,815 --> 00:35:20,383
I'm afraid public opinion
would turn against us.

526
00:35:21,620 --> 00:35:23,053
If you think she needs
a bit of assistance,

527
00:35:23,055 --> 00:35:24,254
under the circumstances,

528
00:35:24,256 --> 00:35:27,924
I imagine that could be
tolerated for now.

529
00:35:27,926 --> 00:35:30,727
Charity is a breeding ground
for beggars.

530
00:35:30,729 --> 00:35:33,497
Why the wealthy must be held responsible
for the misfortunes of the poor,

531
00:35:33,499 --> 00:35:34,898
I'll never understand.

532
00:35:36,168 --> 00:35:38,502
The mill is doing well.

533
00:35:38,504 --> 00:35:40,670
Surely, this gesture
would relieve us

534
00:35:40,672 --> 00:35:42,172
of any other obligation to her,

535
00:35:42,174 --> 00:35:44,708
and we would be seen favorably
in the public eye.

536
00:35:45,944 --> 00:35:47,444
Obligations?

537
00:35:48,847 --> 00:35:51,014
Why my father had to marry
into such a common family

538
00:35:51,016 --> 00:35:53,016
I'll never understand.

539
00:35:53,018 --> 00:35:54,651
And now I'll forever
be responsible

540
00:35:54,653 --> 00:35:56,319
for his impudent decision.

541
00:35:58,290 --> 00:36:00,657
And as for public opinion,
the only opinion that matters

542
00:36:00,659 --> 00:36:03,193
is the Brownings.

543
00:36:03,195 --> 00:36:06,596
How they managed to achieve
such status and wealth

544
00:36:06,598 --> 00:36:08,031
above us is beyond me.

545
00:36:11,303 --> 00:36:13,436
But, clearly,
this is a family matter.

546
00:36:13,438 --> 00:36:15,572
There are certain expectations.

547
00:36:16,708 --> 00:36:19,876
She shares no blood of mine.

548
00:36:19,878 --> 00:36:23,113
She shall not be responsible
for my undoing.

549
00:36:25,717 --> 00:36:27,217
Still, it is a delicate matter,

550
00:36:27,219 --> 00:36:29,986
and must be handled
with a bit of finesse.

551
00:36:31,557 --> 00:36:33,023
I have the mill to run,

552
00:36:33,025 --> 00:36:37,027
my time can't be whittled away
in these petty affairs.

553
00:36:37,029 --> 00:36:38,762
I'm getting a headache.

554
00:36:40,032 --> 00:36:41,097
Wait.

555
00:36:44,703 --> 00:36:47,337
We shall give my sister

556
00:36:47,339 --> 00:36:49,906
something better than a handout.

557
00:36:49,908 --> 00:36:52,876
We will give her
the gift of self-reliance.

558
00:36:54,213 --> 00:36:55,278
A job.

559
00:36:58,217 --> 00:36:59,449
At the mill?

560
00:37:00,819 --> 00:37:03,420
Work will help distract her
from her sorrows,

561
00:37:03,422 --> 00:37:05,922
and allow her to feel
part of something

562
00:37:05,924 --> 00:37:07,857
larger than herself

563
00:37:07,859 --> 00:37:09,426
for once.

564
00:37:09,428 --> 00:37:11,127
Father always did spoil her.

565
00:37:11,763 --> 00:37:13,063
She won't hold up.

566
00:37:13,065 --> 00:37:15,232
The conditions are poor at best.

567
00:37:15,234 --> 00:37:17,834
She's always seemed
rather delicate.

568
00:37:17,836 --> 00:37:19,736
I run a textile mill,
not a Turkish bath house.

569
00:37:23,508 --> 00:37:25,208
Now, if she can't handle
the long hours,

570
00:37:25,210 --> 00:37:26,610
surely, that's not our concern.

571
00:37:32,884 --> 00:37:35,151
And she'll just go away?

572
00:37:38,924 --> 00:37:40,090
Precisely.

573
00:37:45,097 --> 00:37:46,129
Hmm.

574
00:38:05,083 --> 00:38:07,350
Mother, what's the matter?

575
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,053
Annabelle.

576
00:38:11,390 --> 00:38:12,889
Come sit next to me.

577
00:38:12,891 --> 00:38:14,824
There's something
I need to tell you.

578
00:38:22,567 --> 00:38:24,567
We're going to have
to leave Millbury.

579
00:38:25,570 --> 00:38:27,804
No.

580
00:38:27,806 --> 00:38:30,106
I was waiting to hear back
from your Aunt Katherine

581
00:38:30,108 --> 00:38:32,175
to see if she could
help us, but...

582
00:38:32,177 --> 00:38:33,610
I just received
her letter today,

583
00:38:33,612 --> 00:38:35,545
and I'm afraid she's unable to.

584
00:38:38,116 --> 00:38:41,518
Mother, we can't leave.
Please, this is our home.

585
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,553
I'm so sorry, Annabelle.

586
00:38:44,756 --> 00:38:46,556
There's nothing else we can do.

587
00:39:00,105 --> 00:39:04,341
<i>Love carries
over oceans and time.</i>

588
00:39:05,477 --> 00:39:07,010
<i>Do you believe me, Annabelle?</i>

589
00:39:07,012 --> 00:39:08,978
<i>Yes.</i>

590
00:39:08,980 --> 00:39:10,847
<i>Then we are inseparable.</i>

591
00:39:15,020 --> 00:39:17,020
Annabelle, it's time to go.

592
00:39:17,022 --> 00:39:18,755
We need to catch our train.

593
00:39:19,458 --> 00:39:20,724
I'll be right down.

594
00:39:31,670 --> 00:39:33,703
<i>"From that moment on,</i>".

595
00:39:33,705 --> 00:39:37,707
<i>"Annabelle vowed never
to be deceived into believing"</i>

596
00:39:37,709 --> 00:39:39,342
<i>"there was real hope
in this world"</i>

597
00:39:39,344 --> 00:39:42,812
<i>"for herself or for anyone else."</i>

598
00:39:43,648 --> 00:39:45,882
<i>"So she hid the music box,"</i>

599
00:39:45,884 --> 00:39:50,320
<i>"and left behind
all the tenderness"</i>

600
00:39:50,322 --> 00:39:53,590
<i>"and innocence of youth."</i>

601
00:39:53,592 --> 00:39:56,993
<i>"Angels, fairy tales
and make-believe,"</i>

602
00:39:56,995 --> 00:40:01,798
<i>"she decided, should not be
taken seriously any longer."</i>

603
00:40:04,002 --> 00:40:05,335
<i>"For after all,"</i>

604
00:40:05,337 --> 00:40:08,238
<i>"if Annabelle had an angel,"</i>

605
00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:11,708
<i>"he spared her not from
the perils of life,"</i>

606
00:40:11,710 --> 00:40:14,644
<i>"so why should she believe?"</i>

607
00:40:20,452 --> 00:40:24,788
<i>"As the door to her home
closed for the last time,".</i>

608
00:40:24,790 --> 00:40:28,024
<i>"Annabelle's heart
closed with it."</i>

609
00:40:59,157 --> 00:41:00,757
Your rent is due
first of the month,

610
00:41:00,759 --> 00:41:02,392
no exceptions.

611
00:41:02,394 --> 00:41:05,395
Bath, kitchen, stove.

612
00:41:05,397 --> 00:41:07,630
You share the bed.

613
00:41:07,632 --> 00:41:09,098
She's usually
on the night shift,

614
00:41:09,100 --> 00:41:11,668
but she's sick, so,

615
00:41:12,737 --> 00:41:14,971
you'll have to work it out.

616
00:41:14,973 --> 00:41:16,973
What happened to her?

617
00:41:16,975 --> 00:41:19,242
Shut in a room
full of machinery.

618
00:41:19,244 --> 00:41:22,011
Dust and cotton,
that's what's happened to her.

619
00:41:22,013 --> 00:41:25,515
When you get mill fever,
your lungs give out.

620
00:41:26,418 --> 00:41:28,117
A widow these days

621
00:41:28,119 --> 00:41:30,153
has half a chance
of earning some respect

622
00:41:30,155 --> 00:41:32,288
by keeping their job.

623
00:41:32,290 --> 00:41:35,892
But these two
will be orphans soon.

624
00:41:39,164 --> 00:41:41,364
Well, now,

625
00:41:41,366 --> 00:41:42,866
lights out at 10:00.

626
00:41:43,768 --> 00:41:44,968
Best get settled.

627
00:41:44,970 --> 00:41:46,536
Yes. Thank you. Thank you.

628
00:42:04,389 --> 00:42:06,356
<i>"And so Annabelle's mother"</i>

629
00:42:06,358 --> 00:42:08,758
<i>"went to work at the mill
each day."</i>

630
00:42:10,996 --> 00:42:13,696
You're new here, aren't you?

631
00:42:13,698 --> 00:42:15,698
It's been a little over a month.

632
00:42:18,370 --> 00:42:20,470
Oh, well, then...

633
00:42:20,472 --> 00:42:22,238
I'm Ethel.

634
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:23,406
Sarah.

635
00:42:27,913 --> 00:42:29,712
Pardon me for asking,

636
00:42:29,714 --> 00:42:33,416
but, um, you don't look like
the type that works at a mill.

637
00:42:35,253 --> 00:42:37,654
I'm recently a widow.

638
00:42:39,324 --> 00:42:41,224
Sorry to hear that.

639
00:42:41,226 --> 00:42:42,559
I lost my husband, too,

640
00:42:42,561 --> 00:42:44,727
just over a year ago now.

641
00:42:45,864 --> 00:42:48,731
He was a good man.
An honest man.

642
00:42:48,733 --> 00:42:49,933
He took care of us.

643
00:42:52,404 --> 00:42:54,604
My husband was a sea captain.

644
00:42:55,340 --> 00:42:56,806
His ship was lost.

645
00:42:58,577 --> 00:43:01,277
The sea has a way
of taking husbands.

646
00:43:01,279 --> 00:43:05,548
More than half the women here
suffered the same fate as you.

647
00:43:05,550 --> 00:43:08,952
Hard to believe we were
all once happy brides.

648
00:43:10,088 --> 00:43:12,555
Mmm, I remember the day
I was married.

649
00:43:12,557 --> 00:43:15,491
I wore a white lace gown
with silk sleeves.

650
00:43:16,895 --> 00:43:18,962
We were so in love.

651
00:43:18,964 --> 00:43:20,029
Perfect.

652
00:43:21,232 --> 00:43:22,365
What about you?

653
00:43:25,937 --> 00:43:30,239
We were married on
a beautiful autumn day.

654
00:43:30,241 --> 00:43:33,309
Yep. St. Mary's
in the center of town.

655
00:43:34,245 --> 00:43:36,713
The red leaves were falling,

656
00:43:36,715 --> 00:43:39,782
there was frost in the air.

657
00:43:39,784 --> 00:43:45,154
After the ceremony,
the church bells rang and rang

658
00:43:45,156 --> 00:43:47,657
as we went off in
the carriage to the country.

659
00:43:51,930 --> 00:43:56,132
I can still hear those bells
ringing sometimes in my head.

660
00:43:56,134 --> 00:43:57,200
Good.

661
00:43:58,269 --> 00:44:00,236
You hang onto those memories.

662
00:44:00,238 --> 00:44:01,738

685
00:46:55,246 --> 00:46:56,846
Hi.

686
00:46:56,848 --> 00:46:58,381
How are you feeling?

687
00:47:00,785 --> 00:47:03,186
I thought somehow
I'd be better by now.

688
00:47:05,757 --> 00:47:07,390
I got you this.

689
00:47:08,293 --> 00:47:09,559
Oh, Mother.

690
00:47:11,262 --> 00:47:13,362
I was going to wait,

691
00:47:13,364 --> 00:47:16,065
but I thought now
would be a good time.

692
00:47:16,968 --> 00:47:19,435
Why? Why, Mother?

693
00:47:19,437 --> 00:47:20,736
What's the matter?

694
00:47:22,473 --> 00:47:24,674
Annabelle,

695
00:47:24,676 --> 00:47:28,845
will you believe in a secret
I am going to tell you?

696
00:47:28,847 --> 00:47:32,014
It will help you through life
so you never feel alone.

697
00:47:33,885 --> 00:47:36,352
We each have a guardian angel

698
00:47:36,354 --> 00:47:38,821
that is with us from
the moment we're born

699
00:47:38,823 --> 00:47:40,623
until the day we die.

700
00:47:41,693 --> 00:47:43,626
Believe, Annabelle,

701
00:47:43,628 --> 00:47:45,061
and take heart.

702
00:47:45,063 --> 00:47:46,729
You're never alone.

703
00:47:46,731 --> 00:47:47,797
Mother,

704
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:50,933
you won't leave me.

705
00:47:52,070 --> 00:47:53,569
Annabelle,

706
00:47:53,571 --> 00:47:56,772
promise me you'll remember
what I have said.

707
00:47:58,643 --> 00:47:59,709
Yes.

708
00:48:03,581 --> 00:48:05,147
I'm sorry, Annabelle.

709
00:48:21,432 --> 00:48:23,666
The question is,
what is to be done with her?

710
00:48:26,504 --> 00:48:28,104
I certainly can't
be burdened with her,

711
00:48:28,106 --> 00:48:30,139
her mother was only
my half-sister, after all.

712
00:48:34,879 --> 00:48:36,946
Come. That's enough.

713
00:48:40,251 --> 00:48:41,584
That's Miss Elizabeth Browning.

714
00:48:43,755 --> 00:48:44,820
No.

715
00:48:46,391 --> 00:48:47,523
You wait here.

716
00:48:50,395 --> 00:48:52,428
As your mother, Alice,
it is my responsibility

717
00:48:52,430 --> 00:48:54,697
to introduce you
into good society.

718
00:48:54,699 --> 00:48:57,066
The Brownings are
the wealthiest family in town.

719
00:48:57,068 --> 00:49:00,069
You would do well to become
close to young Elizabeth.

720
00:49:00,071 --> 00:49:01,971
Miss Elizabeth.

721
00:49:01,973 --> 00:49:04,874
Please, allow me
to express my condolences

722
00:49:04,876 --> 00:49:07,543
on the loss
of your younger sister.

723
00:49:07,545 --> 00:49:08,778
I can't imagine how difficult

724
00:49:08,780 --> 00:49:10,613
the last few months
must have been.

725
00:49:10,615 --> 00:49:14,583
Well, we are bearing this as
best we can, Mrs. Wentworth.

726
00:49:14,585 --> 00:49:16,752
Let me introduce you to my...
To my young daughter.

727
00:49:16,754 --> 00:49:17,820
This is Alice.

728
00:49:17,822 --> 00:49:19,789
Pleased to meet you,
Miss Browning.

729
00:49:20,124 --> 00:49:21,657
And you.

730
00:49:21,659 --> 00:49:24,226
Please forgive me,
I'm expected home.

731
00:49:24,228 --> 00:49:25,728
Oh, of course, my dear.

732
00:49:25,730 --> 00:49:27,663
And send my regards to
your mother and father.

733
00:49:40,511 --> 00:49:43,412
Aunt Katherine...
Ugh, don't call me that.

734
00:49:43,414 --> 00:49:44,814
We're not really family.

735
00:49:44,816 --> 00:49:46,582
Your mother wasn't
even my real sister.

736
00:49:49,287 --> 00:49:51,520
What did she say
about me, anyway?

737
00:49:51,522 --> 00:49:54,156
She believed everyone had a kind heart.

738
00:49:55,426 --> 00:49:59,328
Your mother was a silly girl
with ridiculous notions.

739
00:49:59,330 --> 00:50:01,764
I'm sorry if she filled your head
with fairy tales and nonsense,

740
00:50:01,766 --> 00:50:03,733
but that's not how
the real world works.

741
00:50:04,769 --> 00:50:06,035
Come.

742
00:50:06,037 --> 00:50:07,837
We've wasted enough time here.

743
00:50:22,787 --> 00:50:24,954
Mr. Wentworth sends
his regrets, ma'am.

744
00:50:24,956 --> 00:50:26,389
He's been detained at work.

745
00:50:26,391 --> 00:50:27,623
Shall we wait to serve dinner?

746
00:50:27,625 --> 00:50:29,892
No. We'll eat without him.

747
00:50:29,894 --> 00:50:31,394
And the young girl, ma'am?

748
00:50:31,396 --> 00:50:32,895
Will she be dining
with you as well?

749
00:50:32,897 --> 00:50:34,397
Don't be ridiculous.

750
00:50:34,399 --> 00:50:35,464
Very well.

751
00:50:37,135 --> 00:50:38,567

755

with all the other orphans.

759
00:50:56,854 --> 00:50:59,755

01:01:32,890 --> 01:01:34,423
Oh...

893
01:01:35,392 --> 01:01:36,558
Without belief,

894
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:38,827
there's not much anyone can do.

895
01:01:38,829 --> 01:01:40,962
Even an angel.

896
01:01:40,964 --> 01:01:42,464
But let's continue.

897
01:01:44,501 --> 01:01:46,234
I think you'd better have this.

898
01:01:46,236 --> 01:01:48,804
Oh, no. That's for you.

899
01:01:48,806 --> 01:01:51,273
Don't worry about me.
I've got plenty.

900
01:02:16,934 --> 01:02:19,234
I'm gonna go to the church
and get warm.

901
01:02:19,236 --> 01:02:20,936
Are you gonna be all right now?

902
01:03:02,146 --> 01:03:05,080
She's eluded our
valiant overseer again.

903
01:03:05,082 --> 01:03:06,581
Fool.

904
01:03:06,583 --> 01:03:08,650
How many more months
will this go on?

905
01:03:09,153 --> 01:03:10,619
What should we do?

906
01:03:13,290 --> 01:03:14,956
It's cold outside.

907
01:03:14,958 --> 01:03:17,492
She'll need shelter.

908
01:03:17,494 --> 01:03:18,894
The only place she can go
is the church,

909
01:03:18,896 --> 01:03:21,963
which will bring her
right past the mill.

910
01:03:21,965 --> 01:03:25,133
Have your man wait between
the river and the mill.

911
01:03:25,135 --> 01:03:27,969
She might try to cross the ice.

912
01:03:27,971 --> 01:03:29,671
No. The current's too strong,

913
01:03:29,673 --> 01:03:32,240
and the ice is only ever
an inch thick.

914
01:03:33,243 --> 01:03:35,076
Then we've got her trapped.

915
01:03:35,979 --> 01:03:37,145
If we don't,

916
01:03:37,147 --> 01:03:39,347
the Brownings are in
for a pleasant surprise.

917
01:03:40,184 --> 01:03:41,349
What do you mean?

918
01:03:41,351 --> 01:03:43,518
It's Christmas Eve.
They'll be at the church

919
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:46,354
when Annabelle stumbles in
from the cold.

920
01:03:47,157 --> 01:03:48,323
Wretched girl.

921
01:03:49,293 --> 01:03:52,127
I won't have her
ruin my reputation.

922
01:03:52,129 --> 01:03:54,262
Don't you mean our reputation?

923
01:03:57,501 --> 01:03:59,234
What are you waiting for?

924
01:03:59,970 --> 01:04:01,036
Go.

925
01:04:11,548 --> 01:04:14,149
<i>"It was
dangerously cold that night,"</i>

926
01:04:14,151 --> 01:04:16,518
<i>"so Annabelle decided
to take a chance"</i>

927
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:18,520
<i>"on a shortcut through the woods"</i>

928
01:04:18,522 --> 01:04:22,190
<i>"to get to the church
and find shelter."</i>

929
01:04:22,192 --> 01:04:24,626
<i>"But this led her past the mill"</i>

930
01:04:24,628 --> 01:04:28,230
<i>"where she had promised
never to go again."</i>

931
01:04:31,068 --> 01:04:34,402
<i>"Now, across the woods
from where Annabelle ran"</i>

932
01:04:34,404 --> 01:04:36,471
<i>"lived the Browning family,"</i>

933
01:04:36,473 --> 01:04:40,475
<i>"whose home, once filled
with so much joy and laughter,"</i>

934
01:04:40,477 --> 01:04:44,546
<i>"was now buried beneath
a deep blanket of sorrow."</i>

935
01:04:46,850 --> 01:04:48,383
<i>"This was their first Christmas"</i>

936
01:04:48,385 --> 01:04:50,819
<i>"without their youngest
daughter, Anna,"</i>

937
01:04:50,821 --> 01:04:53,355
<i>"who had succumbed
to scarlet fever"</i>

938
01:04:53,357 --> 01:04:54,956
<i>"a few months earlier."</i>

939
01:04:57,327 --> 01:04:59,561
<i>"The loss had drained the family"</i>

940
01:04:59,563 --> 01:05:02,430
<i>"of even a whisper of hope."</i>

941
01:05:05,035 --> 01:05:07,068
<i>"No matter what one thinks,"</i>

942
01:05:07,070 --> 01:05:10,372
<i>"sadness and grief
can come to all,"</i>

943
01:05:10,374 --> 01:05:13,074
<i>"no matter
their position in life."</i>

944
01:05:15,445 --> 01:05:20,015
<i>"Both the rich and the poor
share equally,"</i>

945
01:05:20,017 --> 01:05:21,983
<i>"at least in this."</i>

946
01:05:44,808 --> 01:05:46,608
It's freezing cold
outside, Elizabeth.

947
01:05:46,610 --> 01:05:47,842
Have you seen your gloves?

948
01:06:07,431 --> 01:06:09,564
Hurry along, darling,
or we'll be late.

949
01:06:59,349 --> 01:07:00,782
My dear.

950
01:07:03,220 --> 01:07:04,686
Are you all right?

951
01:07:06,023 --> 01:07:07,422
We don't want to be late.

952
01:07:23,907 --> 01:07:26,274
Elizabeth, the carriage
is waiting.

953
01:11:15,238 --> 01:11:16,738
I got you this.

954
01:11:16,740 --> 01:11:19,941
I know how long you've wanted
a real dog, Annabelle.

955
01:11:38,495 --> 01:11:40,228
No one plays with toys here.

956
01:11:42,132 --> 01:11:43,464
<i>My dog!</i>

957
01:11:52,309 --> 01:11:54,242
<i>Annabelle,</i>

958
01:11:54,244 --> 01:11:57,578
<i>will you believe in a secret
I am going to tell you?</i>

959
01:11:57,580 --> 01:11:58,980
<i>It will help you through life,</i>

960
01:11:58,982 --> 01:12:01,783
<i>so you never feel alone.</i>

961
01:12:01,785 --> 01:12:04,652
<i>We each have a guardian angel</i>

962
01:12:04,654 --> 01:12:07,455
<i>that is with us from
the moment we're born</i>

963
01:12:07,457 --> 01:12:10,091
<i>until the day we die.</i>

964
01:12:10,093 --> 01:12:14,929
<i>Believe, Annabelle, and take heart.</i>

965
01:12:14,931 --> 01:12:17,332
<i>You're never alone.</i>

966
01:12:17,334 --> 01:12:20,802
<i>Promise me you'll remember
what I have said.</i>

967
01:12:20,804 --> 01:12:22,003
<i>Yes, Mother.</i>

968
01:13:39,115 --> 01:13:40,815
Mother, did you hear that?

969
01:13:41,418 --> 01:13:42,917
Shh.

970
01:13:42,919 --> 01:13:46,788
<i>"But only Elizabeth
heard the knock at the door."</i>

971
01:13:57,133 --> 01:13:59,267
Mother, there's someone
at the door.

972
01:13:59,269 --> 01:14:00,334
Elizabeth.

973
01:14:41,778 --> 01:14:43,544
Oh, you're frozen.

974
01:14:46,983 --> 01:14:49,917
Please wake up. Please.

975
01:14:51,821 --> 01:14:52,821
Oh...

976
01:14:53,790 --> 01:14:54,922
Is it too late?

977
01:14:54,924 --> 01:14:56,491
Oh, Mother, she's so cold.

978
01:14:56,493 --> 01:14:58,259
We must get her warm.

979
01:15:20,316 --> 01:15:22,550
Look. Mother, look.

980
01:15:38,067 --> 01:15:39,567
We should take her home.

981
01:16:24,347 --> 01:16:25,880
You ready to go home, Annabelle?

982
01:16:25,882 --> 01:16:26,948
Yes.

983
01:16:28,418 --> 01:16:29,784
Come on, everybody!

984
01:16:31,788 --> 01:16:32,954
Yay!

985
01:16:52,709 --> 01:16:55,943
Did the Brownings adopt all
the other children as well?

986
01:16:56,479 --> 01:16:58,479
Oh, yes, they did.

987
01:16:59,649 --> 01:17:01,549
And what about the angel?

988
01:17:01,551 --> 01:17:03,684
Did Annabelle ever
see him again?

989
01:17:04,587 --> 01:17:06,721
Oh, yes, many times.

990
01:17:06,723 --> 01:17:09,490
A guardian angel
always watches over you,

991
01:17:09,492 --> 01:17:12,593
never leaves you,
and most importantly,

992
01:17:12,595 --> 01:17:14,662
knows your every wish.

993
01:17:17,266 --> 01:17:20,234
Rose, do you want
to hear my wish?

994
01:17:24,073 --> 01:17:25,673
I want a home.

995
01:17:29,012 --> 01:17:30,845
By Christmas.

996
01:17:32,181 --> 01:17:35,182
That is a wonderful wish, Emily.

997
01:17:39,756 --> 01:17:41,789
Rose,

998
01:17:41,791 --> 01:17:45,359
do you think I have
a guardian angel?

999
01:17:50,466 --> 01:17:53,334
You most certainly do.

1000
01:17:55,972 --> 01:17:58,205
That sounds like a promise.

1001
01:17:59,942 --> 01:18:02,276
It is a promise.

1002
01:18:25,301 --> 01:18:26,801
It was a dream.

1003
01:18:26,803 --> 01:18:28,936
There's no such thing as angels.

1004
01:18:41,417 --> 01:18:42,717
Excuse me.
We're looking for someone

1005
01:18:42,719 --> 01:18:44,318
who works here
by the name of Rose.

1006
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:47,188
Well, there's nobody here
by that name.

1007
01:18:47,190 --> 01:18:49,423
Oh, no, she sent us a letter.

1008
01:18:49,425 --> 01:18:50,491
From here.

1009
01:18:52,762 --> 01:18:55,496
That might be our stationery,
but I can assure you,

1010
01:18:55,498 --> 01:18:57,732
there's nobody here
by the name of Rose.

1011
01:18:59,702 --> 01:19:02,737
Oh, uh...

1012
01:19:02,739 --> 01:19:04,538
Well, it must have
been a mistake.

1013
01:19:04,540 --> 01:19:05,606
Thank you for your help.

1014
01:19:07,343 --> 01:19:08,409
Thank you.

1015
01:19:13,049 --> 01:19:14,682
What?

1016
01:19:14,684 --> 01:19:15,850
What is it, Annabelle?

1017
01:19:23,025 --> 01:19:24,091
Wait.

1018
01:19:26,295 --> 01:19:28,362
Excuse me. I'm sorry
to bother you again,

1019
01:19:28,364 --> 01:19:30,898
but is there by chance
a child here named Emily?

1020
01:19:34,370 --> 01:19:36,871
Yes, she's still here.

1021
01:19:36,873 --> 01:19:38,806
Well, can we see her? Please?

1022
01:19:40,810 --> 01:19:42,877
We're inquiring for adoption.

1023
01:19:42,879 --> 01:19:45,646
Oh, well, you should have
said that in the first place.

1024
01:19:47,116 --> 01:19:48,182
Follow me.

1025
01:19:57,827 --> 01:19:58,893
Are you Emily?

1026
01:20:00,396 --> 01:20:01,729
Go away.

1027
01:20:13,276 --> 01:20:14,809
I was wondering
if there was something

1028
01:20:14,811 --> 01:20:17,745
that you could
possibly help me with.

1029
01:20:17,747 --> 01:20:19,513
You see, I received this letter,

1030
01:20:22,451 --> 01:20:27,288
and it's a bit strange,
actually.

1031
01:20:27,290 --> 01:20:30,157
And no one here seems to know
anything about it.

1032
01:20:31,260 --> 01:20:34,528
But do you know
someone named Rose?

1033
01:20:35,531 --> 01:20:36,597
Rose?

1034
01:20:38,201 --> 01:20:39,366
You know Rose?

1035
01:20:42,305 --> 01:20:46,006
Look, uh, she wrote about you.

1036
01:20:49,445 --> 01:20:50,811
"Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hill,"

1037
01:20:50,813 --> 01:20:52,947
"there is a child
at Belford Hills Hospital"

1038
01:20:52,949 --> 01:20:55,182
"who is in desperate need
of adoption."

1039
01:20:55,184 --> 01:20:56,483
"Please come
as soon as possible."

1040
01:20:56,485 --> 01:20:59,186
"Her name is Emily,
she'll be expecting you."

1041
01:20:59,188 --> 01:21:00,588
"Sincerely, Rose."

1042
01:21:05,561 --> 01:21:07,628
Have you been
expecting us, Emily?

1043
01:21:09,365 --> 01:21:13,267
Emily, do you want
to spend Christmas with us?

1044
01:21:14,070 --> 01:21:15,402
Really?

1045
01:21:16,672 --> 01:21:18,806
Yes. Really.

1046
01:21:25,081 --> 01:21:28,415
They have a
wonderful life ahead of them.

1047
01:21:29,518 --> 01:21:31,819
They certainly do.

1048
01:21:31,821 --> 01:21:35,089
I must say, you have a knack
for this kind of thing.

1049
01:21:35,691 --> 01:21:37,658
I have a good partner.

1050
01:21:45,234 --> 01:21:46,667
Thank you, Rose.

1051
01:22:00,449 --> 01:22:01,882
<i>And so it was</i>

1052
01:22:01,884 --> 01:22:04,051
<i>that Christmas in Belford Hills,</i>

1053
01:22:04,053 --> 01:22:06,887
<i>the heart found more
than the eye could see.</i>

1054
01:22:06,889 --> 01:22:09,356
<i>Hope prevailed
and help came from</i>

1055
01:22:09,358 --> 01:22:11,425
<i>the most unexpected places.</i>
