00:19I didn't want to take it, I was just hungry, and my hand did it by itself.
00:25You're a girl. Girls need to diet. These ribs are for your brother.
00:30He needs nutrition so he can grow big and strong.
00:33You should thank us. You spend all day sweeping the house.
00:36Stick to light food so you don't pack off a bunch of lazy fat.
00:53No manners at all.
00:54We haven't finished eating and you're already grabbing food off the table?
00:57Just like I said, what a wild brat. People think we don't feed you enough.
01:01Oh, absolutely not. If we don't break you of this stealing food habit now, you'll be a thief.
01:08If we're doing this for her own good, we have to be strict.
01:12Yeah.
01:15Go stand outside.
01:19It's cold and windy out there. Maybe it'll clear your head and help you figure out what you did wrong.
01:28You can come back in when you've learnt not to be such a greedy pig.
01:42We're doing this because we care about you. Enjoy the fresh air.
01:48If Sarah's in a good mood tomorrow, she might open the door before dawn and tell me to come back
01:54and sweep.
01:56But if she's in a bad mood, I might have to be starving until noon.
02:22One, two, three. If I count to 100, I won't be cold anymore.
02:31I can't fool myself. It's so cold. I want to go home.
02:49Her parents have been looking for her for seven years.
02:54No one's ever searched that hard for me.
03:00What if, what if I'm her?
03:02The birthmark matches. The age matches. Even our faces look alike.
03:08Wait! I can be their daughter!
03:15But isn't that illegal?
03:17Could I go to jail to pretend to be someone else's kid?
03:21But I'm only eight. Eight-year-olds don't go to jail, right?
03:27What if I am really her?
03:31Sarah said I was adopted wild child.
03:34She didn't give birth to me.
03:39Fine. I was saving this coin for a new eraser.
03:44Well, change of plans.
03:59An eraser can only help me write. A phone call could help me find a new dad.
04:05Okay. That's it. I'm doing it.
04:23What am I supposed to say?
04:25Hi, I'm your daughter?
04:27No, that's too abrupt.
04:28Hi, I saw your missing person notice?
04:31No, that's not right either.
04:33I'm not just some passerby.
04:41Hello? Who is this?
04:43Hi, I saw the missing person notice.
04:46The one about a little girl named Lillian Vance.
04:49You saw her? Where is she? Where are you?
04:54I was just going to admit it.
04:55But why is he suddenly crying?
04:58Now I'm scared.
04:59What if the DNA test says I'm not Lillian?
05:02Then I'd be a big liar.
05:04Don't hang up.
05:06Please.
05:06Have you seen my daughter?
05:08Is she alive?
05:09Please, tell me.
05:11I'm...
05:13Are you an adult or a kid?
05:15From your voice.
05:17You're a child?
05:18I...
05:19Yeah.
05:22How old are you?
05:24Eight.
05:25Where did you see the notice?
05:27Are your parents with you?
05:28No, sir.
05:29I found the notice.
05:31In a trash can alone.
05:34A trash can?
05:36Yeah.
05:37I was kicked out and...
05:38I found it in a trash can.
05:41You were kicked out?
05:43In all this snow?
05:45Listen to me, kid.
05:46Tell me where you are right now.
05:47What street?
05:48What part of town?
05:49I'll come get you.
05:53No.
05:54I wasn't calling to tell you where I saw your daughter.
05:58I...
05:59I might be her.
06:00What did you say?
06:01The notice said she had a maple leaf birthmark on her right arm.
06:05I have one too.
06:07I was born in January 2016.
06:09And my parents says I was adopted.
06:12I'm not sure, but I thought...
06:16Where are you?
06:17The public phone outside the convenience store on...
06:2010th Street in Oak Town.
06:23Wait for me.
06:24Don't move.
06:25Are you cold?
06:26Do you have somewhere to get out of the snow?
06:28No.
06:34He's crying.
06:35A man heard that I might be his daughter...
06:38And an adult cried like a baby.
06:40I really wish I was Lillian Vance.
06:43A dad who cries is much better than a dad who hits.
06:48All my life...
06:49Every single day...
06:51I've been figuring out how to survive like a leaf.
07:16He's like 30-something, thin face, deep eyes, and his eyes are all red.
07:21He must have been crying on the way here.
07:23There's tears on his lashes.
07:26Sir?
07:28Sir?
07:29Sir?
07:37His coat is warm from the heater.
07:39It smells really good.
07:40Nothing like the smoke and booze on Tom.
07:43It smells clean.
07:45Are you cold?
07:48I need to check your right arm, okay?
08:00Are you my dad?
08:04Lillian.
08:05Lillian.
08:06Lillian, it's dad.
08:07Dad's here.
08:08No one has ever called me Lillian.
08:10And the word dad has never belonged to me.
08:15Oh my dear.
08:16You're so thin and so dirty.
08:18God, he looks older than Tom.
08:21He probably hasn't slept well in a long time.
08:24And his lips are cracked.
08:26He must be so tired from looking for his daughter all this time.
08:30And I lied to him.
08:32I'm so sorry.
08:34I just wanted a home where nobody hits me.
08:38Sir, I don't know if I'm her.
08:41What if we're wrong?
08:44We can't be wrong.
08:46We can't.
08:47A father knows his own child.
08:49I know you're my Lillian.
08:51He smelled clean and warm.
08:53I've never been held like that.
08:55Not even a blanket had ever been wrapped around me so tightly.
08:59It's okay now.
09:00Dad's here.
09:01No one is ever going to hurt you again.
09:03Tell Mr. Vance we found her.
09:04She's alive!
09:07Mr. Vance, please get in the car.
09:08The girl's freezing.
09:16Are you hungry, sweetheart?
09:20Get her to the hospital.
09:22Have someone bring food.
09:25He's trying not to be mad in front of me.
09:27I know he's mad at the people who hurt me.
09:29Tom wasn't like that.
09:31Tom was always mad at me.
09:38I eat anything.
09:39Just be careful getting me into the car.
09:42I banged my knee earlier.
09:52The snow was still falling.
09:55But I wasn't cold anymore.
09:58We found her.
09:59Go to the VIP ward.
10:01Full work up.
10:02Treat the external injuries first.
10:04Brush the DNA test.
10:05I don't care about procedure.
10:07I want the results in three hours.
10:14Don't be afraid.
10:18Okay.
10:19Could he be a bad guy?
10:21TV says some bad guys trick children.
10:23But bad guys don't cry like that.
10:25So he's probably a good guy.
10:27Sir.
10:28Call me dad.
10:33You can call me sir for now.
10:35Go ahead.
10:36How did you get here so fast?
10:38I'm in a city two hours away.
10:41Then...
10:41Mr. Vance had me doing 90.
10:45That's too dangerous.
10:47I wasn't speeding.
10:48I was already in the car when I got your call.
10:51Why were you in the car?
10:53Seven years.
10:55I searched every city, every town.
10:58I had countless leads.
10:59Fake ones, scams, wrong people.
11:02But I never gave up.
11:04I followed every single one.
11:06When you called, I happened to be in the next city over.
11:09Following another lead.
11:11That other lead was fake?
11:14Every one of them was fake.
11:16Until you.
11:19What if the DNA doesn't match?
11:21Then he drove 90 miles an hour and showed up in seconds.
11:24Only to find out I'm fake too.
11:27Don't be afraid.
11:28Whatever the results say,
11:30you're coming with me tonight.
11:31I can't.
11:34I can't.
11:35I can't.
11:35I can't.
11:37Come with me.
11:39It's snowing outside.
11:43And that place you live isn't a home.
11:45I can't.
11:48I can't.
11:49I can't.
11:57I can't.
11:58I can't.
11:59Nurse, get warm water ready.
12:01A child who's been out in this cold can't go straight into hot water.
12:03Have the x-ray room on standby.
12:05Yes.
12:08I'll carry her.
12:19I'll carry her.
12:20Don't go to sleep yet.
12:22Let the doctor examine you first.
12:27Hi sweetheart.
12:29Can I help you?
12:31Okay.
12:52Keep examining her.
13:05Alice, tell dad.
13:08Tell me.
13:10Who did this to you?
13:13My parents, Tom and Sarah.
13:16They don't deserve to be your parents.
13:20Then they were just the two people who kicked me out.
13:26Okay.
13:27I understand.
13:33Dig up everything on her parents.
13:36By tonight.
13:45The malnutrition is severe.
13:47Her height and weight are far below normal for her age.
13:51There are also signs of at least two old fractures in her back.
13:54They were never treated properly.
13:56The bones just healed on their own.
14:08That's enough for tonight.
14:09Let her eat something, take a bath, and get some rest.
14:13We'll deal with the rest tomorrow.
14:14How long until the DNA results?
14:17Three hours.
14:19Okay.
14:29You must be hungry, huh?
14:33Bring her some oatmeal porridge and a warm steamed egg.
14:37Yeah, don't add too many toppings to the porridge.
14:39Her stomach is delicate.
14:43Did you go to school?
14:44I did.
14:45Second grade.
14:47How are your grades?
14:48They're fine.
14:49What does fine mean?
14:50Top five.
14:51Top five in your class?
14:53Top five in the whole grade.
14:54I see.
14:55Was that school any good?
14:57Not really.
14:58There were only two buildings, and the playground was dirt.
15:02When it rained, mud splashed all over your pants.
15:05But the teachers were okay.
15:07Especially the music teacher.
15:09She was very nice to me.
15:11Sometimes she'd slip me some snacks.
15:17Sherry dear.
15:20Did you find anything?
15:22We did.
15:22Tom and Sarah didn't just abuse the child.
15:25The adoption papers they used back then, they were forged.
15:29You couldn't get enough to eat at school either.
15:32It wasn't that there wasn't enough food.
15:34I couldn't afford lunch.
15:37I brought one piece of dry bread every day.
15:40Sometimes I didn't even have one.
15:42Sir, don't be mad.
15:44I'm not.
15:45You are.
15:45That vein in your forehead is twitching.
15:49You're very observant.
15:50I usually had to read my parents' faces.
15:53You get good at it when you do it long enough.
15:56You won't ever have to read anyone's face again.
16:03This is your mum.
16:05Why isn't she here?
16:07She's at home.
16:08I didn't dare tell her yet.
16:09Why not?
16:12Because there have been so many false alarms.
16:15Every time I told her we might have found you, it turned out not to be you.
16:18She couldn't take one more disappointment.
16:21She's been looking for me for seven years too?
16:24Yes.
16:25Every single day she's been thinking about you.
16:28Last year, she fell off an overpass while putting up missing person notices.
16:33She fractured her spine and was bedratted for three months.
16:37She's recovered now, but she can't keep running all over the country.
16:42They've been searching for seven years.
16:44One drove 180 miles an hour.
16:46The other fell off an overpass putting up flyers.
16:49If I'm really their daughter, I hit the jackpot.
16:52If I'm not, then I'm a thief who stole someone else's parent.
17:08Take your time.
17:11I can't explain how it feels like a dream and I'll wake up from any second.
17:18What if I wake up and everything is gone?
17:24Slow down. Don't choke.
17:34Go take a bath. The nurse has clean clothes and hot water ready. I'll wait outside.
17:39Wait for what?
17:40For you.
17:52You look exactly like your mother.
17:53Sir, I'm sleepy.
17:56Go to sleep. Come here.
18:08Do you want the light off?
18:10Leave one on.
18:15You're not going home?
18:17No. I'm staying.
18:19Why?
18:21To stay with you.
18:23The DNA results aren't back yet.
18:26I know.
18:30What if I'm not your daughter?
18:33Then I'll still stay.
18:35You're eight years old.
18:36You were thrown outside into a snowstorm to sleep in a trash can.
18:39Whether you're Lillian or not, you're sleeping here tonight.
18:42This warmth wasn't the heat from the heater or a blanket.
18:46It was the warmth of someone staying right there beside me.
18:50Lily!
18:51Lily!
18:51My Lily!
18:55What are you doing here?
18:56I told my people not to tell you.
18:58Shut up!
18:59Raymond!
19:00Our daughter was found and you dared to keep it from me!
19:10Lily!
19:10Lily!
19:19My daughter.
19:20The DNA results aren't back.
19:22I don't need that.
19:24I carried her for ten months.
19:25You think I wouldn't know my own child?
19:28This is my daughter.
19:29It has to be!
19:32Lily and Mommy's here.
19:34Mommy came too late.
19:36I've spent seven years looking for you.
19:39I dreamed about finding you every night.
19:42This is too much to process.
19:44No one in the Smith House had hugged me in eight years.
19:47And now two people have hugged me in one night.
19:50Ma'am?
19:52Call me mom.
19:54The DNA results aren't back yet.
19:56Say DNA one more time, Raymond, and see what happens.
19:59Look at her face.
20:00Her eyes, her nose, they're exactly the same as when I gave birth to her!
20:09This is ridiculous!
20:11Who lets every stray cat and dog into the Vance family's VIP room?
20:16That old lady's eyes are terrifying.
20:18She looks like she wants to tear me apart.
20:22Mother, what are you doing here?
20:25If I hadn't come, you two would have been played by some beggar.
20:29A child found in a trash can during a snowstorm?
20:31She must be some bastard using a resemblance to claw her way into a rich family.
20:36She's your granddaughter!
20:37Granddaughter?
20:38Until the DNA results comes back?
20:40I don't have any granddaughter.
20:42What if she's some low-life stray who'll stain the Vance family name?
20:46They all think I'm a little liar.
20:48If the DNA says I'm not, will they throw me back into the snow?
20:53Drag this little beggar out of here.
20:56Don't let her dirty the Vance family's room.
20:59I dare anyone to touch her.
21:00Raymond, I'm your mother.
21:03You're taking my side against me for a beggar?
21:05Anyone who touches my daughter will have to go through me.
21:08Ma'am, if I'm really not your daughter, I'll leave on my own.
21:13Please don't fight.
21:14Don't say that!
21:16Forget the DNA results!
21:18You're Lillian!
21:19Your mommy's baby girl!
21:22You've all been talking about DNA. When will it be ready?
21:25One hour.
21:28So in one hour, we'll know.
21:30If I am, I'll have a mom and dad.
21:32If I'm not, I'll have to go back to the trash can.
21:35Either way, I got one warm night, a bowl of porridge, and a hot bath.
21:40It's not a bad deal.
21:41What are you thinking about?
21:43Nothing.
21:44She's worried the DNA won't match.
21:47Listen to me.
21:48Match or no match, and it will match.
21:51If there's even a one in a million chance it doesn't, you still aren't going back there.
21:56Do you hear me?
21:59There was something heavy inside her.
22:02Not pity, anger twisted together with tenderness.
22:06No one had ever told me that being hit, thrown outside, and left hungry was crime.
22:11I always thought I ate meat I wasn't supposed to eat.
22:15I wasn't good enough.
22:16I'm a bad child.
22:21An eight-year-old child was thrown outside in a snowstorm and forced to sleep in a trashcan covered in
22:27injuries.
22:28This stopped being about biology a long time ago.
22:31This is a crime.
22:34Mother, I'm taking responsibility for this child tonight.
22:38I believe she's my daughter.
22:39You! You're both completely insane.
22:42Fine, I'll wait for the report.
22:43If it doesn't match, I'll personally take her to the police.
22:49The hour is up.
22:51Am I going to be thrown back into a trashcan, or am I staying?
22:58Mr. and Mrs. Vance, the expedited DNA results are in.
23:01Give it to me. I'll expose her to what she really is.
23:07I'll open it myself.
23:2799.99%. She's my Lillian, my daughter!
23:32What? Impossible. Let me see it.
23:37Is she really? Is she really Vance Blood?
23:40Read it carefully. My daughter is not some lowlife bastard and she's not a liar.
23:44Now take your people and get out!
23:45Huh! So what if she is?
23:47A girl raised beside a trashcan carrying that same shabby stink, she'll still embarrass the Vance family!
23:54Mother, you don't need to worry about that.
23:56She's my daughter. The Vance family's Iris. Anyone who looks down on her answers to me.
24:03Fine. Go ahead and spoil her.
24:10That scary old lady is gone. So as long as I have this piece of paper, they won't throw me
24:16back into the snow again.
24:20I told you! I knew the second I saw you! My Lily! Call me Mom!
24:27Say it! Mom!
24:30Could you please stop shaking me? I'm getting dizzy.
24:35Okay.
24:37Okay, and...
24:39Okay, Mom?
24:51It's her. The DNA confirms it. She's my daughter.
24:57Tell everyone. We found my daughter.
25:11So this is what parents smell like?
25:16Let's go home. We're never being separated again. Never.
25:25I bet on myself, and I won.
25:29One coin, one payphone, one missing person notice pulled from a trashcan, and I got a home.
25:35It's anointing for her.
25:37I don't have a home.
25:40I don't have a home.
25:42I'm getting a coffee.
25:43It's all fine.
25:47She's my mom.
25:47Yeah. It's confirmed.
25:49No. Hold the announcement. Deal with that situation first.
25:52Ready?
25:53Yeah. Go today.
25:57Morning.
25:58Morning.
25:59Hungry?
25:59Yeah.
26:00Yeah.
26:07You like it?
26:09Yes.
26:10Then you'll have it every day.
26:11One glass in the morning, one at night.
26:13Okay.
26:18Slow down, sweetheart.
26:27Not too hot?
26:28No fever, thank goodness.
26:33Mr. Vance, we've finished looking into it.
26:40Tom Smith, 44, unemployed, with a history of alcoholism.
26:44Sarah Smith, 42, works at a supermarket.
26:47They have one biological son, Jason Smith, 12 years old.
26:50In March 2017, they bought an infant girl, about a year old, through an illegal middleman.
26:57In other words, your daughter.
26:59They paid $20,000.
27:04What about the middleman?
27:05We found him.
27:07His name was Thomas.
27:08He used to steal children around shopping centers.
27:10He was arrested in 2019 for another trafficking case and is currently serving time.
27:16And Tom and Sarah.
27:18Oaktown police picked them up at 6 this morning.
27:24What are they being charged with?
27:25For now, suspected purchase of a trafficked child.
27:28Our legal team is pushing to add child abuse charges.
27:30They got off way too easy.
27:33Mr. Vance, the law-
27:34I don't care what the law says.
27:37Did you photograph and document every injury on her body?
27:40A forensic doctor documented the injuries last night.
27:42Good.
27:43Throw the book at them.
27:44I want them to serve every single day they're given.
27:53What did he say?
27:55It's handled.
27:56I hired lawyers too.
27:57I know.
27:58Have your Lynn counsel join forces with my legal team.
28:00No need to pay for two separate fights.
28:04Lillian?
28:05Did you hear what we were saying just now?
28:08Then you heard us.
28:10You aren't their child.
28:12You're ours.
28:14You were stolen from us.
28:18I know.
28:20Do you hate them?
28:22I just don't ever want to see them again.
28:24Okay.
28:25You never will.
28:30This was the first time she had ever wiped my mouth.
28:33She'd missed all of it.
28:36Ana, get Director Wang in International Affairs on the phone
28:40and arrange a transfer for tomorrow.
28:42Send me the nutrition department's meal plan too.
28:45And buy Lily a few new outfits.
28:51Lillian, did you have any friends there?
28:53Or anyone who was good to you?
28:56Grandma Susan.
28:57She lived next door.
28:59She was very nice to me.
29:01She used to slip me eggs and money.
29:03I'll have someone thank her properly.
29:06Anyone else?
29:07No one else.
29:09What about classmates?
29:10No.
29:11You didn't have any classmates?
29:14I had classmates, but I didn't have any friends.
29:17Why?
29:19My clothes were bad, and I smelled bad.
29:22They didn't want to play with me.
29:27That won't happen anymore.
29:28From now on, you can wear whatever you want,
29:30and play with whoever you want.
29:32Thank you, Mommy.
29:34It felt like someone had suddenly placed an enormous cake in my hands.
29:38I was afraid to move.
29:40Afraid it would fell.
29:54Wow.
29:55How many floors is this?
29:57Thirty-two.
29:58We live at the top.
30:01You have the whole top floor?
30:04It's our home.
30:07What?
30:11Welcome home, Miss Vance.
30:14What's all this for?
30:17Don't be scared.
30:19These are the people who help our family cook and clean.
30:26Is this my home?
30:28This is your home.
30:30You can even roll around on the floor, if you want.
30:35Really?
30:36Really.
30:49Comfortable?
30:51It's great.
30:52Come on.
30:53I'll show you your room.
30:54I have my own room?
30:59Of course.
31:00We kept your old room from before you turned three.
31:03But you're bigger now.
31:05So we made you a new one.
31:08When did you set this up?
31:09You were both at the hospital last night.
31:12I called someone from the car and had it done.
31:21Do you like it?
31:30I had that bought just now.
31:32If you don't like pink, I can change it.
31:34Don't change it!
31:35I love it!
31:38From now on, just tell us what you want.
31:39You can have anything.
31:41Anything at all.
31:43This house is mine now.
31:45Nobody is ever kicking me out again.
31:56Is all of this for me?
31:58Yes.
31:59The nutritionist planned it all out.
32:02You're too thin.
32:03You need to put on weight.
32:14Miss, have some soup first.
32:16It'll warm your stomach.
32:21Can I eat by myself?
32:23I mean, could you not watch me while I eat?
32:25Of course.
32:27We won't watch.
32:36What?
32:37Why should she?
32:44Take your time, sweetheart.
32:45Mommy's gonna check.
32:53Sarah Smith is making a scene at the police station.
32:56She's claiming she bought the child, raised her for seven years, and has feelings for her.
33:00She wants to see her over my dead body.
33:03She calls that love?
33:04She beat a child badly enough to fracture her bones, and she calls that love?
33:09I've already told the lawyers, no contact under any circumstances.
33:13This isn't about whether we agree.
33:15I want additional charges filed.
33:17Submit every photo of the abuse, and make sure she gets ten more years.
33:21We're working on it.
33:23But she has a lawyer, too.
33:25What lawyer would take a case like this?
33:28A court-appointed legal aid attorney.
33:30We don't get to choose.
33:35Lillian, keep eating, don't-
33:37She wants to see me.
33:38There is no way we're letting her see you.
33:41I know.
33:43But why does she want to see me?
33:46She probably wants you to say,
33:47they treated you well, so they can get their sentences reduced.
33:51She's wasting her time.
33:55Lillian, listen to Mommy.
33:57Whatever she says or does, you don't have to worry about it.
34:00We'll handle it. You just eat well and grow up safe.
34:04I know, Mom. I'm not afraid of her.
34:07I was afraid at her house because I couldn't get away.
34:09But now I have you.
34:11I'm not afraid anymore.
34:15Let her go to prison.
34:17I'm going to eat my fish.
34:19Dad didn't pick the bones clean enough last time.
34:22I almost choked.
34:23What?
34:24What?
34:24I picked every bone out with tweeders three times.
34:32Gotcha!
34:33Yeah!
34:47Careful, Miss Vance. You'll fall.
34:57I've got her.
35:04Mommy's got you.
35:05There were no strings attached.
35:08No, finish this before you eat.
35:10No, be good or you'll get hit.
35:12Just, what do you want?
35:14And here you go.
35:16As if simply existing was enough.
35:19It felt so unfamiliar that I couldn't sleep that night.
35:23My mind kept spinning.
35:26What if they suddenly decide they don't want me?
35:28What if I do something wrong and they throw me out?
35:32The DNA test says I'm their child.
35:36Child can't be returned.
35:38I don't think they can.
35:46I'm thirsty.
35:55Breaking something meant getting thrown out.
35:58It meant no dinner.
35:59I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
36:01I didn't mean to. I'll clean it up.
36:03I'll pay for it.
36:09It's okay, Miss Vance.
36:10Are you standing on any glass?
36:12I'll pay for it.
36:13I'll pick up every piece.
36:15I'll pay for it.
36:17Don't pick it up.
36:18You'll cut your hands, Miss Vance.
36:24What happened?
36:31Lillian, look at me.
36:32Lillian, look at Dad.
36:37Let me see your hand.
36:49The cup broke.
36:50That's all.
36:51We have a hundred cups.
36:53One can break.
36:54Ten can break.
36:56It doesn't matter.
36:58No, don't hit me.
37:02I won't.
37:04And no one will ever hit you again.
37:11Lillian.
37:12Lillian, listen carefully.
37:13In this house, you don't get hit for breaking a cup.
37:16You don't get hit for failing a test.
37:18You don't get hit for making a mistake.
37:20You don't get hit no matter what.
37:23Because you're my daughter.
37:25I protect you.
37:26I don't hurt you.
37:28I don't hurt you.
37:30Okay.
37:40Come on.
37:42Let's get that hand treated.
38:04Does it hurt?
38:07A little.
38:09Hang in there.
38:16Your mom bought it.
38:18She replaced everything in the house with things she thought you might like.
38:21It's pretty.
38:22Dad?
38:23Yeah?
38:24I might break more things in the future.
38:27Break whatever you want.
38:28What if it's something really expensive?
38:31How expensive?
38:33Like that vase on top of your cabinet?
38:37That one's eight million.
38:39But if you break it,
38:41the first thing I'll do is make sure you're not hurt.
38:43Then I'll yell at the vase for being in the wrong place.
38:46What did the vase do wrong?
38:49It tripped my daughter.
38:50It had it coming.
38:52Then I won't break that one yet.
38:54It's too expensive.
38:56What a waste.
38:57Go watch some TV.
38:59If you want water,
39:00I'll have one of the housekeepers bring it.
39:02I can get it myself.
39:04Use a plastic cup.
39:05Okay.
39:17Much better.
39:21I raised her for seven years.
39:23I fed her for seven years.
39:24Without me,
39:25she'd have frozen to death on the street.
39:27Why am I being arrested?
39:32Mrs. Smith,
39:33the Vance family's legal team has submitted extensive medical reports and records of her fractures.
39:37You are being charged with aggravated child abuse and illegal purchase of a child.
39:44That was discipline!
39:46Kids who don't listen need to be hit!
39:48I want to see that girl.
39:50Tell her if she doesn't drop the charges.
39:52She's an ungrateful little brat.
39:55Mr. Vance,
39:56Sarah is making a scene in the interrogation room.
39:59She insists on seeing Miss Vance,
40:01and keeps trying to guilt tap her with seven years of raising her.
40:05Raising?
40:07She has no right to use those words.
40:17Dad!
40:18Mom!
40:18I want to see him!
40:21Sweetheart, you're only eight.
40:23Trust me, Mom.
40:24I want to see him.
40:32Some knots have to be cut.
40:34By the daughter herself.
40:36That's how she truly gets a fresh start.
40:51Alice!
40:53Alice!
40:54I'm your mother!
40:55Tell the police you were never abused!
40:57We raised you!
41:05Alice!
41:06Alice, listen.
41:06Just tell the judge we treated you well, and I'll forgive you for stealing meat.
41:10You can stay a rich girl!
41:11And we won't go to prison.
41:13Everybody wins, right?
41:15Sarah, that old coat was paper thin.
41:18The ice on the snow burned.
41:21What are you talking about?
41:22In seven years, you fed me 320 pieces of dry bread, broke three of my ribs, and made me sleep
41:28in the hallway for 42 nights.
41:30You paid $20,000 for me.
41:32But Vance's did the bath.
41:33Over seven years, I swept, washed dishes, and did housework for you.
41:37At market rates, you owe me $36,000.
41:40You ungrateful little brat!
41:42You're not my mother.
41:43You're a criminal who's about to go to prison.
41:45I came here to tell you to your face, I want you to rot in there.
42:01The defendants, Tom Smith and Sarah Smith, not only illegally purchased a trafficked child, they subjected her to horrific abuse
42:09for seven years.
42:11Their methods were especially cruel.
42:19The defendants, Tom Smith and Sarah Smith, are guilty of illegally purchasing a trafficked child and aggravated child abuse.
42:27The sentences will run consecutively.
42:29Twenty years in prison, all personal assets are seized for civil rescuation.
42:44The nightmare was finally completely over.
42:56Alice!
42:57You jinx!
42:58You got my parents locked up!
43:00I have nowhere to live!
43:01Give me back my money!
43:03Give me back my house!
43:08I want ribs!
43:09I want a big house!
43:11You were just a dog my family kept!
43:14Why do you get to dress so well?
43:21Jason, when you took my ribs, did you ever think this day would come?
43:27I...
43:29People from child welfare are right behind me.
43:31From now on you're going to boarding school and you'll get one piece of dry bread a day.
43:35Enjoy it.
43:47Come on, Lillian.
43:49Dad's taking you to see someone who truly deserves to see you.
44:17Why is that Alice?
44:21Grandma Susan!
44:28Oh, sweetheart.
44:30I know you are blessed by God.
44:32You found your real mom and dad.
44:37Ma'am, thank you for giving Lillian warmth when she was at her lowest.
44:44This is the key to a garden home downtown.
44:47Along with lifetime care through the Vance Medical Foundation.
44:50Starting today, you're Vance family's most honored guest.
45:01This problem is beyond the third grade curriculum.
45:04Would anyone like to try solving it?
45:07I heard she's some gutter girl they just dragged out of the slums.
45:10She probably can't even read.
45:27Perfect!
45:28That is absolutely brilliant!
45:33Reading people's faces and swallowing my feelings used to be my weapons.
45:37Now knowledge and confidence are my strengths.
45:47Thank you all for being here.
45:49Today I announce to the world that Lillian Vance is the Vance family's heir.
46:04Lillian?
46:05What did you wish for on your birthday?
46:08I wished for mom and dad happy forever, and for us to never be apart.
46:17I promise you, sweetheart, that wish is good for life.
46:21Three months ago, when I found that missing person notice, all I could think was, maybe
46:27I should go be their daughter.
46:29Back then, I thought it was a scam.
46:32I thought I was putting on an act to get a meal and find somewhere I wouldn't be hit.
46:38But the DNA test said it wasn't fake.
46:40I really was their daughter.
46:43I hadn't lied to anyone.
46:45I had simply found my way home in a pile of trash.
46:48One dollar, one phone call.
46:52What if I'd spent that dollar on an eraser?
46:55What if I hadn't found the missing person notice?
46:58What if I'd been a little more scared and never made the call, I'd probably still be
47:03at Tom's house.
47:06But I made the call, and now I have a family.
47:11Won't even care.
