All language subtitles for The Brooke Ellison Story

Get up, Brooke. Let's go.

Five more minutes.

Where's my headband?

I knew I lost it.

You'll be great.

How not to carry a snack
in a box any more?

I guess that's good for school.

And they opened a cafe across
the street from the school,

then the kids could leave n
sheep for a snack there.

I like that.

- Really?
- Terrible.

It's not a dog food. I would never
let your sister eat dog food.

How handsome you are, Mum.

I'm nervous about my first day
of class, and you're not?

We did not.

If you were my professor, I would

fall in love with
you in two seconds.

Hurry up. In five
minutes, let's go.

Good.

What are you going
to school like this?

Nothing will happen.

Honey, I want you to wait
for them at 3pm, okay?

I know, Jean

And you. Kysten, check
the bus schedule.

Look, I have something
quick to do at work,

if you need anything, let him
call me home, okay? Good.

Nothing will happen.

- May I leave in peace?
- Everything is under control.

Go.

- Where's my raft?
- On the counter.

Thank you. I knew
it was there. Good?

Brooke, Brooke, don't
get separated.

Good.

I want you to remember
everything that

happens today, so
to tell me tonight.

- You can.
- But without making up, okay?

Can. Goodbye, Mum., We
love you. You love us too.

I love you both. Kisses.
Hi. My beauties.

You too, Mum.

Will we be so crazy when we are
mothers like her? No way.

Black and white.
Colouring, colouring. Two

o'clock. Yes, collage.
Pink, orange, just that.

Yes, listen. Get on
bus number 4, I'll wait

for you where we agreed.
Number 4, okay?

Please, my brain is
capable of getting

out of nothing, and I'll expose it

bus secrets number 4.

Good morning.

- Hi, I'm Brooke.
- Ah hi, I'm Deny. How are you?

- I'm fine, Deny.
- Do you like your teacher?

- Yeah, not bad.
- Napkins.

Napkins.

They gave me the wrong
combination or something.

You allow it?

- Yeah, whatever you want.
- Let's see.

26, good. 24, here it is. That.

- Take the money and run.
- You can. Thank you. Take it.

Thank you. Worth it.

Brooke, we're going to our house.

Yeah, we'll be late for the bus.

Okay, come on. Goodbye.

Kids, wait.

You can go like this, but you have
to get home by 6pm, okay? Clear.

What did I say?

At home at 6 pm.
Yes. Be good. Goodbye.

All right, let's go meet
Brooke at the bus stop.

- Can.
- Goodbye.

- Is the medium good?
- Yes, medium is great.

Hi., Hi, how was Jean's
first day at school?

She hasn't arrived home
yet, but she will soon.

Great.

- Isn't that...?
- I told her to take that bus.

- Weird. I guess he missed her.

I'm going to pick her up.

Mr Ellioson. Brooke was
wounded in Nicols Routs Street.

What?

Lies Wounded in
Nicols Routs Street.

What? What? She
says Brooke is lying

wounded in Nicols Routs Street.

- Can you take us there?
- Yikes. Of course. Let's go.

Why did she go down
Nicols Routs Street?

Makes no sense.

For God's sake.

Oh no.

Stay in the car.
Don't get out of it.

One, two, three, four,
five, carefully, six...

- Brooke.
- Seven, eight...

She's my daughter. Brooke.
Stabilises her neck. Brooke.

Ready for transport. One, two,
three, carefully, carefully

Guys, follow me, guys.
Let's go, one, two and three.

Where are you taking her?
To an international hospital.

An accident, an 11-year-old girl.
She had

tachycardia so we
had to intubate her.

Pressure: 90/60. We
were able to reimagine

it. Heart rate: 120 per minute.

There were inhalations
and exhalations

at the pump of a thousand.

Ready to transport?

Just be quiet. One, two and three.

What is it? Tell us.

I can only say what
we know for now...

which is that he has a major neck

fracture, broken hands
and a concussion.

The only thing we can do
is wait for him to wake up.

Disabled, how do you know?

The accident left large marks
on the brain and cervical spine.

Love, breathe and calm down.

I'll present you an
operational plan.

It will be a difficult operation.

She's still alive. And
as long as she is alive,

there is hope, but be
prepared for the worst.

There it is.

The night will pass quickly.

Grandma, when will we
be able to see Brooke?

I do not know.

Stupid, stupid, why can't you ever

do what you're told?
Stupid Brooke.

The longer your daughter
is in a coma, the

less chance she will
have of becoming aware.

We'll give her another 36 hours
so she can regain consciousness.

Doctor, and if... and when he
wakes up from whom, what happens?

We have to take into
account that when it comes

to consciousness, it will
not recognise anyone.

Your friends made this great
poster and everyone signed it.

And you have another
gift, sweetheart...

new teddy bear.
Look how cute he is.

You will be here to see
him when you get better.

- U s t a n I Brooke.
- Brooke.

Brooke, do you dream?

- Brooke, are you nervous?
- No, I'm very happy.

Watch out., Let me
go, my head hurts.

- You tell me in the evening,
but without making up, okay?

- Brooke, get up, Brooke.
- Kids, wait.

Get up, Brooke. Get up Brooke.
Usttaannniiiii Brooke. Stand up.

Brooke.

Do you know where you are?

- Brooke, Brooke, come back.
- Brooke, Brooke.

I'm your mum. Brooke. Brooke. Hey.
Brooke. Do you know who I am?

- Do you know who I am?

Blink
once for days and twice for no.

Yes, exactly.

Brooke, do you know what happened?

Calm down. We assume it's an
accident. You're in the hospital.

Everyone here is
making you feel better.

I know you have a
thousand questions.

We'll answer anything
when you take

out a device that
helps you breathe.

At least we will
try to answer you.

Mum and I are here, is that clear?

- You will be fine.
- Okay. You will be fine.

Good girl.

Probably the car hit his feet.
And what

will be the consequences
for the legs?

I don't mean to amputate her legs.
He is

already paralysed
from the neck onwards.

Excuse me... can I
talk to you out there?

- Of course. Of course.
- Honey, I'll be quick.

And I'll talk to you.

No one knows that my daughter
will remain paralysed.

And I forbid you to speak
about it before her...

and if you ruin her
positive attitude, you

won't stay in this
hospital, are we okay?

Hey Brookie, here I am.

Do you know this thing is getting

out of your mouth
tomorrow morning?

Yes, from the mouth.
You will be able to speak again.

Does it hurt? Are you ok?

The hospital is here to remove
your pain little by little.

- Nothing hurts her, baby.
- It's good.

At school, everyone asks about

you... I'll tell them you're okay.

I love you.

Emergency intervention was good.

Now that we have located the
problem, we can stabilise the neck

and send her to rehab.

- But it's only been six weeks.
- She's not... yet.

We have done everything
in our power...

- Wake up.
- Hi.

Hi honey.

Brooke can open his
mouth, but he can't talk.

But it can shape words by word of

mouth, that's the best part.
Hi lives.

Do you think... can... they can...
go back... to school?

Can you go back to school?

Do we mean to go back to
school, do you ask us that?

- Not.
- Not.

- We don't think you
will go back to school,

than we guarantee you.

- Don't worry about it.
- You promise me? We promise you.

I promise you.

Sorry.

Watch your mum.

You might be a little
scared of the new

environment... you
may also be sad.

So I brought you just in
case a lemon-flavoured

candy, I'll put it in your pocket.

But don't eat them all right away.

Goodbye honey.

I love you.

- Time to go, Mr Ellison.
- Alright.

I love you too, Dad.

All right, follow
Route 49 and Route 47.

I'll drive behind the ambulance.

I know, but if by any
chance you break away from

the vehicle and you don't
see the rotating lights.

My vehicle won't run away.
I know, I know. Kysten...

there are tickets at
3:30 pm on Mondays and

- Fridays.
- Jean, I'll give you some money.

Yes, it can. Thank you.

- If you need something,
you can buy it., Alright.

And Reed... has to
be in bed by 9pm, okay?

Love, I know.

Don't, don't, don't, don't.

- Try to guard yourself.
- I will, come on.

Hey, I'll call you in a while...
You know.

- I love you.
- I love you.

Hi, I'm Jean Ellison, I'm
accompanying my daughter Brooke.

Are you here to leave your
daughter to care for us?

I pray?

Will you leave your daughter
here to live permanently?

We do not know.
We're here for rehab.

I'll direct you to your room,

the nurse will come quickly.
There.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

There are many children your age.

Hi. Hi.

Okay, thank you.

Sorry, did you say something?
Do I have something in my pocket?

- No?
- My pocket., Your pocket?

Daddy's candy?

Now you will get one,
and for dessert one.

We'd best find someone to give
us an idea for... landscaping.

We didn't meet Dr Brown,

but I found your account
from your $21,000 office.

Yes, I'll wait., Kysten didn't
want to go to school after school.

- Why?

He says he is not feeling well.

She went to bed before dusk.

Do you think I should take her
to the doctor in the morning?

You don't know...

Second, Mum. Yes, the
account number is: 8230.

No temperature, but...
I'm worried.

He's a doctor consultant.

Well, I guess that's Dr Shilds
then? Means that.

Okay, do you receive credit
cards? Okay, thank you.

If you're not going to
open your mouth, we're

going to have to force
you, so choose yourself?

Hi honey. What is happening?

We have a problem, they
won't take medication,

they won't open
their mouth at all.

And what are these drugs?

Style sofender,
vitamin and sedative.

- And what is a sedative for?
- Make it easier to fall asleep.

- But she's going to
school, she has to be awake.

Mrs Ellison, we know the needs
of children with tetraplegia,

and these kids can't
go back to school...

Ah no.

But look they can go to
school with a custom program.

We'll wait and see how it goes.

Leave it on the table, so I'll
make sure he takes his medicine.

Thank you.

Good morning.

You have to start learning

that when you get out of here
you can go back to school.

That's what we'll do. But first
take the vitamin, open it.

Now the other one,

and let your sister
take her sedative.

And get him in the ass.

Oh my God.

Are you new here?

Yes I am.

Where is the injury to your child?
Which vertebra was injured?

The injury is to the neck. C2

Is she on a respirator?

For now it is.

My boyfriend was injured
with a vertebra C6.

He can breathe on his own,
but his brain is destroyed.

Sometimes he seems to recognise
me, but I'm not entirely sure.

I am very sorry.

What do you think it will
be when you bring it home?

Not. I can't even bring
him. Let alone nurture it.

But thanks to the
drunken and stupid

60 year old my son will live with.

And my husband.

I'm not alone in this one.

Many mothers are divorced here.

It was not appropriate
for the husbands

to have children
with disabilities.

Hello, sunshine.

And... I'll call you.
It's cheaper if I call you.

Hello.

I'm sorry.

We're in a big crowd here, baby.

Jean.

Jean.

I can't do this.

This is very difficult.

Jean.

Honey.

I'm sorry.

Brooke, here we are.
How is this managed?

Where are you. Where are you.
Don't fire.

- Oh my God. Where's that button?
- I'm looking for him. Not here.

Oh, here it is. Oh, he's stuck.
I have it.

Now everything is all right.
Do not Cry.

It could have been worse.
Ssss. We love you.

Everything is fine now. It's over.

Keep sleeping.

Are you done with that thing?

Just not. Ed, you'd like
to stay home tomorrow.

But it takes 15 minutes for this.

I'd like you to
take a few days off.

I cannot afford this because the
cost of the hospital is too great.

I know, that's why we'll
give you a paid vacation.

Have a week off.
To go see your daughter.

Thank you.

- Your family comes to see you.
- That.

- How would you like to say
hello to them, with a voice?

What is that?

This is what we use
to start the throat.

Yeah., He also helps with vocal
cords so she can talk again.

Do you want to try?

Honey, you wanna try it?

- Yes.
- Excellent., He agrees.

I'll inject this into my breathing

apparatus. It's painless.
It's over.

- Can you say anything?
- I... feel... weird.

I sure sound stupid, right?

Well, it's the most beautiful
voice I've ever heard.

Really great first words.
I was expecting

something like: a small
step for humanity or

How can your country do something
for you? But this, I like it.

Hey. Hey. Wait, wait.

Listen to me, you know
Brooke can't move his head,

so speak straight to her and
look straight at the cart.

- You can.
- Hang on.

Her voice may be
strange, but she tries

not to feel bad about it., Can.
Let's go.

Hey., Hey, look who came to us?

Hi... Reed..., How are you?

What's up?

You have a little weird voice,
but don't feel bad for him, okay?

Come and give me a hug., Hi Mum.

- You grew another 3 inches.
- At least three., Look

what I have for you.

My... books.

Maths... and the Red Carriage in
the Wild West. It's a good book.

Excellent.

Why is the piano locked?
Because nobody can steal keys.

Because they are easy to steal.

And how is it here?
Hey Reed, let go of that key.

I succeed.

What else have you taught
him since I'm gone?

- Reed.
- What about Kysten?

What? He has a weird look.
It is as if the ball was blown.

Honey, come here.

How are you?

Let your mum give you one half.

I believe you're having fun eating
alone. I'm saying it seriously.

Also give me two plates of dessert
for that table over there, please.

Your grandma doesn't cook?

Of course she cooks.
And ingenious.

Don't you like this food
from the hospital canteen?

I haven't tasted it yet.

I also see that
you're not even hungry.

- You just mix it on a plate.
- Am I doing something wrong?

You're not doing anything wrong.

I just want you to eat. Kysten,

you're very thin.
I want you to eat.

- Good.

Look at me. I know this is
hard, I know. Just listen to me

please do your best to stay
strong and healthy, okay?

Deal.

- Yes?
- Okay.

You say agreed, and again I don't
see you eating., Mum. Okay.

Bobby, please get
me off the respirator.

She asks for it every
day with her mother.

I want to show you
how I can breathe.

Okay, let me see.

Okay, I'm ready.

Have you seen? I was
breathing a little.

That's perfect.

I'm ready to try again.

Get down on the ground, Brooke.
You

cannot breathe
without a respirator.

Okay, look, honey.
I have to go get

some things done
at the front desk.

- You were fantastic.
- Thank you.

Can you come with me to help me?
Of course.

Listen up., I don't want
to give her false hopes.

- What do you want? Hope is hope.

I don't want you to take
that away from my daughter.

Is this hope for Brooke
or for you and your wife?

The family must
understand and accept the

fact that your daughter
is a tetraplegic

And that she would
be connected to a

respirator for the
rest of her life.

Does it seem fair to you
that Brooke believes that

when he returns home
everything will be as it was?

Someone will have
to be with her 24/7

because if the respirator goes
off and no one is with her.

It will die in a few
minutes, that's the reality.

You don't know how
this will develop.

Look, we're not trying
to change what was,

rather than trying to
teach them to live with it.

I also need a second mortgage to

renovate the house
for my daughter.

I can't get a
wheelchair to the door.

The social service will do its
job, it can be any moment.

And only on that condition
can I bring her home.

Listen. Ed, I'm so sorry,
but I can't grant you a loan.

Dad.

What that...? Are you ok?

- Hi. Hi. Yes, I'm fine.
- What are you doing?

What's Dad doing? I do not know.

- Reed, do me a favour. Get
a metre from the kitchen.

- Is running. Come on.
- Yes.

Dad, what are you doing? It's
my mum's favourite flowers.

I know, honey, but
it'll bother you here.

- What are you saying?
- I'll make a ramp.

Measure the door.
See if it's 16 inches?

You can.

But why? Because she could
pass the cart from Brooke.

- It's exactly 16.
- Oh, really. Come here.

And measure this staircase.
Can. Thank you.

It is missing 30 metres
for the ramp that I

would walk to the door.
What have we got?

- 7.
- Okay. Stand back. Carefully.

Hey.

Do you need a few hands
to remodel your house?

Ah... what a victory. You shot
me in the corner., Napkins.

Hey, how come you came, Alan?

Well I was around
with my motor team

there so I said
take the opportunity

I visit this smartwatch.
Ooo. Hi Mr Linski.

Do you have any questions?

- What's on the shirt?
- Read it for yourself.

Devils... in hell.

Devils in hell. What did
you hear about the devils?

That they are in hell.

Devils and angels. Are there
really angels in hell too?

Yes, if you don't study enough and
don't care about the environment.

The devil will come?

Yes, but luckily you will have
to go through many more periods.

Because of my condition, right?

No, because you're
still little, and

to my knowledge,
girls have to learn.

But we can do this.
Page 3, Chapter 7.

Let me see if I get it right.

Medically covers the appliance
only if it stays in the hospital,

But not when he gets home.

Okay. Can you send me a sketch?
Yes I can make a copy.

Yes, thank you. May I have your
name, please? Yes, your name.

I prayed to God to give me fear,

when that fear becomes
overwhelming, I will tell him

to take it off my back
and give me happiness...

If my daughter
prioritises something,

then it's definitely a respirator.

But when he gets home, it's gone.

That's what you're saying. Yeah.

Thank you for your time.
Tell me your name, please?

Give back what doesn't
belong to you. Loneliness...

Until dawn tomorrow.

Do you read her story?

That. Red carriage in the Wild
West. We came to 5 chapters.

Let's get her attention
and change her

catheter., I'd like to know, too.

- What? It.

Sir, the bureaucracy
doesn't scare me.

This is the work of
the social service.

Yes, I will send it
to you and I hope

it will be more
than enough for you.

May I have your name, please?

Thank you. Yes, have
a nice day. Idiot.

It must rotate every two
hours to prevent infection.

I... decubitus,

skin care, In this
case, don't be afraid.

I'll show you how
the catheter works.

Look where I'm going...,
You pull this tube in

as it goes and the first
urine will come out.

- There we go, there

There...

And that goes in the bag, okay?
Okay where we forget. Forget it.

Brooke, look. Everyone's
working on your new room.

- Hi kids.
- Hi Brooke.

Hi Brooky.

This will be your new room.
You will get a new big bed.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

- Say hello to Brooke, guys.
- The house is being renovated.

- A little while.

Brooke, let's eat
on the ironing board.

It's really an ironing board.

I want to play you a
song, but the piano

is hidden, so I decided
to tell you a joke

What is the peak of the blind man?
Living in the street of good view.

How great.

Kysten, it's Mum.

That? Hi honey, you
will do me a great favour.

- You can.

I know I'm not a good mother right

now, and it bothers
me., How is it?

I try to bring her home, though I
still can't and I need your help.

I need you to help me
take care of my youngest

daughter because I won't
be able to do it alone.

Do you promise to help me?

That. You don't say that
because you have to? Not.

- Just go home. Brooke and you.
- Yes, we try and do our best.

- I love you, I love you so much.
- I love you too.

- Alright. Good night.
- Goodbye.

We first need to put a spiral
plastic around her spine.

We need to stabilise her
neck above her spinal cord.

The operation is not easy and
we cannot guarantee success.

How do you define success?

That she survives at all.

Then we have nothing to talk
about. None of the surgery.

We can't force
anyone into surgery,

but if we leave it as it is,

one wrong move could kill her.

Two more breaths
and we start surgery.

Implant., Implatat.

- Let's do it.
- Pliers., Klješta.

- Nothing.
- We got her.

We're.

Let's turn her on her back.
Carefully.

Connect it to a respirator.
We burn

it. The respirator
is in operation.

Everything went well.

We'll wait for her to recover for
a few days, then she can go home.

Hello. Here we are.
Here we are, Hey.

We made it.

- Really good.
- Look, there's everybody.

Let me see you, team.
One, two and three.

Welcome Brooke Ellison.

How are you, kids?

- Welcome.
- Welcome Brooke Ellison.

Ready? One, two... and three.

Okay.

- You okay, honey?
- Yes.

- Good.
- Thank you very much.

I'm home.

That's right, and we'll
try to keep it that way.

I made up a joke.

How does an adventure among the stars
look like? How? We don't know how?

Shines only at night.

No no no., When is it
coming to throw the trash?

Look, you've become smart.

- I'm glad you're back.
- I'm glad as well.

I'm sorry, I don't understand you.

Just a moment, please.

Headmaster from school. She says
Brooke can't go back to school.

Hi, I'm Ed Ellison.

Yes, I'll take care of it.

Excuse me, please tell
me your name, please.

We wish all the best to
your daughter, but taking

care of her is not in the
description of our school.

There is a cost to a doctor who
cannot take good care of her.

We are also concerned
about what your daughter

will challenge between
students and professors.

It can feel incomoded for its
damage. We end the meeting.

Mr Evans. Excuse me, hello.
I'm Jean

Ellison. Brooke is my daughter.

I'm so sorry for the accident.

Sir, my daughter wants
to go back to this

school more than anything
else in the world.

If you do not have
a suitable sister

for her, I will go to her classes.

Are you expert in this?

Not., That's what
I thought, you're

not qualified to care for her.

I've been watching her
for nine months and 24

hours a day, I can pass
that qualification.

Excuse me... I can do it.
Brooke has been

studying and is ready
to return to class.

- Sorry, that's impossible.
- Why, why is it not possible?

The board and her
doctor must approve

you as a caregiver.
I'm sorry, madam,

but as the law says from
this there will be nothing.

Mum, Mum.

Isn't it time you
prepared me for school?

Okay, here I am, honey.

Good.

Good girl, good girl, good girl.
We're almost done.

- Is it comfortable?
- Yes

Okay.

Okay.

- Comfortable? Yeah.
- Good., Good.

We're almost done, baby.
Excited? That., Yes, me too.

Although I'm a little
nervous, Yeah, me too.

- Is this nice to you?
- Yes.

I'll brush your teeth.

Good.

So.

The teeth are clean and now we go.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

How I look?

You're the most beautiful
girl I've ever seen in my life.

It's not true.

Except your mother
when I first saw her.

I'm not., Of course you are and I won't
let anyone say otherwise., Cut it out.

I'm lucky.

Did you see my...

It's in the bathroom. Thank you.
It's never going to change, huh?

Not.

- All right, ready?
- Yes.

The moment.

Good morning., We talked
about this yesterday...

That's right.

And I said...

Here's a letter from
a doctor saying I am

qualified caregiver.

I can't know.
The letter is quite cheesy.

Help a little.
I am grateful for all the help.

- Hi Mr Lynskey., Hi.
- Right., Hi.

Good good., Okay, open it. Here.
And let's go upstairs. Come.

And worse., Good.,
Good., Thank you.

Really good., Really
good., And here we are.

Hi., Hi. I feel we're late.
Will not be repeated., Good.

Good morning. Here you go?
Thank you. I will

sit with her from now
on., Yes, of course.

- Hi Brooke.
- Hi.

Hi., Hi Brooke, how wonderful.
Welcome Brooke.

Come here., Here.

Come here., Wow,
how handsome you are.

All right, children. Begins.

Welcome geometry.

Now I will write a
word on the board

for those who do
not know the word.

Geometry.

- That word, what does it mean?
- Set of numbers.

That?

Set of numbers., Exactly.
So a set of b r o js.

Who can tell me what a rhombus is?
Yes? Body., Romb is...

I leave it to you to resolve these
light points. Give it a thought.

So the circle is X + 40-2.
The circle is X, what do you get?

- Circle, circle.
- Mum, mum.

Brooke? A line down the middle.

A line down the middle. That's
right. Line down the middle.

Snoozed, snoozed. Okay,
now take the calculators

for this question.
You have a cylinder

which has a diameter
of 2 inches that

is the same as its depth, which is

its volume and scope of
this cylinder? Brooke? 1.37.

Bingo, we got a winner.

1.37. E team, do me a favour,
so repeat this chapter at home.

Hey Reed, try it.

- Are you there maybe?
- Hi, Kysten.

Hi. We really want to know.

I will be the fastest
button in the competition,

thanks to this., That.
Give it another go.

New Yourk Looking for
talent in physics.

Our reading reads: The word
lazy is a substitute for?

The figuration of the
word is information that

the person is exhausted.,
Correct answer.

She knew.

I do not know. But there
must be another question.

If Adam was writing on A4 paper,
how much light did he need?

The most powerful bulb.
Exactly. The most powerful bulb.

Last question: What
happens when an orange

is electrified with
a yellow cloth?

- Neon.
- No.

- Cullen?
- That's anger. Anger. Exactly.

Teams are ready for
the decisive question:

- Sometimes there is a reason...
- Pressure.

I didn't finish the question.
Please listen carefully.

Sometimes for some
reason the pressure

jumps, is it because
of the pressure or why?

Because of the reflex.

That's right.
Because of the reflex.

Ladies and gentlemen,
these are the winners

of the 1997 New Yourk
talent in physics.

Brooke, here's a
letter from Harward.

Yes? Do you want me to
open it for you? That.

Dear Miss Ellison, We liked your
notes so much that I could be

candidate at Harward University,
we only have one more place.

Mum, do you hear this?
Let me hear.

I think this is a sign
that I should go to Harward.

I believe another sign
will tell you not to go.

How did they dare to
send a letter when they

did not know her situation?
That is not fair.

Too bad for them.

- Jean.
- Yes?

A letter came from Harward.

I don't know if it's inflammation?

I don't want her
to be disappointed.

She's grown up. Brooke., That?
A letter came from Harward.

Do you want me to open?

Yes Yes.

Congratulations. Oh, my God.
Oh my God. What?

Congratulations, you entered
Harward University next year

I have to sit. I can't believe it.

What would happen if I could
actually go to that university?

You're kidding, right?

What's missing from
Johnny Birds School?

Nothing, both
schools are beautiful.

But still Harvard is Harvard.

But Harvard is not here.
Which will travel for

five hours every day,
I don't think it will.

Mum will come with her.

Super, great for
us, great for dad,

life has finally
returned to normal

and one letter will ruin it again

Kysten.
Put that letter in your ass.

- What do we do now?
- I think Harvard is her dream.

We're stuck in the water
down to our throats.

- Now we have to raise our heads.
- Yes.

Although... There is
always some interlative

I mean, if Brooke is
realistic, everyone will

look at her there as a
kid who can't do anything.

She'll understand.

Not. The problem is with me.
I can't leave, I

can't leave Kysten and
Reed, neither can you.

Maybe seeking help from a
personal assistant is worth a try?

Impossible, how will
they live without me?

- She can live without you.
- Do not give.

We think it's best to start with
a list of possible problems.

If Brooke comes to Harvard, she'll
need a special wheelchair room.

And a 56 square foot bathroom.

Yes, if you don't have
the right staff for her,

her mother understands
and will live with Brooke.

And he will accompany
her to lectures.

For classes that will not be
accessible due to wheelchairs.

Brooke will need transportation.

This will give you an insight
into our economic situation and...

our limited expenses for...
clothes... and desires and needs.

Thank you, Mr Ellison.

- Excuse me, are you done?
- Yes, I am.

We need to see how
to meet all these

needs and talk to the homeowners,

but we believe we will
meet all these needs.

- Wow.
- Good., Good., Thank you.

Then we guess we'll think...

I think the university
will faint if

you show them how
talented you are.

I love you.

- I love you too.
- Goodbye.

I love you.

I love you.

Good luck.

Thanks for coming.
Goodbye. Goodbye.

- Take care of your mother.
- I will.

If these kids are teasing
you, write down the names.

Thank you.

Good.

- Hi.
- Hi., I'm Brooke. And me, Lee.

I'm like this because I
was hit by a car at the age

of 11. Joining pages will
not be a problem for me.

Hi, my name is Jack.,
Hi, nice to meet you.

Hi, are you her mum? Yes, Jean.

- I'm glad.
- Hi, I'm Mory. Hi. How are you?

Our system has something we call
neurons and one is very special,

and that is what drives our body
and helps the brain make contact

with the other one. The
neuron separates from the

other and when it does,
it is called in physics

Synapsis.

I think no marriage, if
honest two minds are vicious,

that love is not love, if you
always change for the moment,

distance is always
distance or not,

it is just perhaps a false
happiness smouldering in silence.

Hi, Caren., Hi girls.

What's up? The love
story will be tonight.

A love story with Dan Onill?

I don't know who that is?
I'm wasting my time.

It's best for me when
it comes to Porshe.

Hey, will you have dinner with us?

Second day. I hope to get
in touch with someone tonight.

Have a nice time., Hi.

Hi.

All the girls seem
to have boyfriends.

No, it's just Caren's second.
And one will come to you.

Do you really think that?

Yes, I think every person in the
world finds a soulmate. Let's go.

Joseph Conrad said
while writing that the

likelihood of the universe
judging us was high.

What is he really talking about?

This is a great question.
I think he

blurs his natural world ethically.

- I think Conrad is too graceful.
- He plays God.

It's okay to play God sometimes.

Come on. I expected
more from Harvard youth.

I think Conrad's words seem to
make him visualise the universe

that he doesn't even
have those words

explained. I have
a feeling Conrad...

judge yourself as if it
were a human God., That.

Set. Conrad was
threatened with the

truth, so he didn't
even dare to ask.

Maybe he didn't think
about the mud, but maybe...

he was talking about
France, what do you think?

It's Saturday. What do you
think we order Chinese food for?

I'm not very hungry, Mum.

- Hi Jan.
- Hi.

I just left something
out of the door for you.

Yeah? What did you leave me for?

More recently than
Frodor Dimistrovsky,

He knows it as I do Conrad.

What Chinese food
do you like most?

From the ground.

How about we order it now?

Can.

Excellent. Thank you.
Chinese, huh? Good idea.

Are you done?

Yes I am. And you? Yes, thank you.

- Then, I'm going...
- Yes.

Make yourself some tea.

Why
do you like Conrad as an author?

Think about it... he's a great
maestro in English poetry.

And he didn't study
English until he was 19.

What else?

He lived intensively,
sailing the entire

world, absolutely every bit of it.

I believe that poetry is
very similar to Conrad's.

But we don't have to look far
from her to find the story.

I hope you don't
mind this question,

but how do you
control the stroller?

I have a system in my mouth.

I have a language
with a lot of talent.

You think I'm lying?

Let's see what's in
your fate cookie., Good.

Look... he says you're
going to share a cookie

with someone who has
never written in English.

Let me see.

Thank you.

What's in yours?

You will meet one special girl.

- It doesn't say that.
- No, it says exactly that.

Are you sure you want
to call us, Cara?

Yes, what do you say?

Brooke.

My hockey colleagues. Animals.

Do you like hockey?

I love hockey, but I
don't play it very well.

- I would ask you something.
- Shoot?

Will you dance with me
at the end of the year?

- No, no, but thanks.
- No?

I'm glad you asked that.

Don't make them feel sorry for me.

But I don't want to
go with anyone else.

If you're not coming with
me, I'm not going either.

There have been disasters
in recent years.

Is that a yes? Still going?
I'll get

a ticket for your
mother too, okay?

- You can.
- You can.

Thank you.

- Want to hear something weird?
- I love weird things.

By the way, that flower
fits you really well.

Ah, thank you. It's gardenia.

It's beautiful.

Now tell me what's so weird?

When I fall asleep and dream
I am never in a wheelchair.

Only one. When I flew
about for the first year.

I dreamt I was like this.
In the cart.

And what do you do in your dreams?

I dance everywhere.

I dance to exhaustion.

- Okay, so here we go.
- But I don't...

I know I can't dance, but
I like to go easy dancing.

I will miss this place.

Especially you will miss me.
You're

an amazing woman, Brooke Ellison.

You'll miss the girls.

You trust them? Not me.
I'll be back next year.

- Oh, how cool.
- Gold,

- Until recently.
- Until recently.

- Have a nice summer.
- And you.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye. Hi, Mr Ellison.

Hi., I'm Jan Dylan and I'm
a friend of your daughter.

We're soldiers, I see.

What a boy.

Jan.

Hi.

Hi.

Honey,

what bothers you?

Jan is done with the studio.
They won't be coming back.

By the way, why
don't we call him...

this summer, say
the Fourth of July?

Jan travels promoting
Joseph Conrad's words.

Joseph who?

Dad, Joseph Conrad
is a writer., Oh.

Okay, how about Thanksgiving?
It's November.

Before Thanksgiving is Labour Day.
Labour Day is not celebrated.

What does he know. He's Russian.
It's Slovak. Slovak, the better.

Ok, are you going to tell him

Labour Day is a
big family holiday?

Only Christmas is bigger than him.

Wait, I'm back for a moment.

Jan.

My sister wants to
tell you something.

- Reed.
- What is it?

Hi, I'm sorry. Only...

I mean I know you're travelling...

And I don't know if
there's any chance of

you returning to
America by November but

I would love to have
Thanksgiving with my family,

You know people have a
traditional Thanksgiving dinner.

- My mum's the best cook.
- I would love that.

That?

Really can?

Ok then.

Okay, see you then.

Have a nice trip.
Hi, Jan. Hi., Hi.

Let's go home to celebrate this.

If you've been doing this
all summer, you're weird.

We have mail.

Two packages are from the
library from the university.

The university sent the
final paper for Brooke.

- You think?
- Of course.

Who do we know in Madagascar?

Jana?

- Yes.
- Open it., Read.

"Dear Brooke.

At the moment,
I watch the sunset on

the Indian Ocean in
complete silence.

Joseph
Conrad shared justice, so I try.

Now I'm heading east to Mambo.

Forgive me, but I can't return
to the US until... Thanksgiving,

but now I have an email address.

Please stay in touch.
Love you. Jan"

He misses you, but he does what he

loves. He travels
the world., That.

How could you call me a nerd?

When you're so smart,
why did you get confused?

- I'm not stupid. Who says that?
- The one who eats the bread?

I know that. Who are you going
with? You're being critical.

He's talented and
has a knack for joking.

And it can't be more convenient
and it's not a parasite.

And he has a nice smile.
They're kidding you.

- Team, we have to go., Oh no.
- 50 minutes., Good.

- Goodbye Brooke.
- Goodbye Brooke., See you later.

Come on.

- I am not hungry.
- But you have to eat.

But I'm not hungry.

Then can you comment
for us when it's

over when the guy meets the girl?

Is it possible that...?

I need to turn you around.

- No, it's not necessary.
- Of course it is.

You have an open
wound on your butt.

You
haven't had her... since rehab.

If you had eaten as
God had commanded,

this would not have happened.

- Do you hear me Brooke?
- It's not that bad.

Of course it's terrible.

If you get infected, you won't be
able to sit in your wheelchair.

Are you planning to write
a final paper from bed?

Stop torturing me.

I'm torturing you?

Hey, I have to get up
every two hours to turn you

around like a baby and
then I'm torturing you?

Mum. Mum.

It's over with Joseph Conrad.
I'm a victim of Joseph Conrad.

Turn off the light.

Nothing.

You have to eat.

Alright. I give up. If
you give up, so will I.

But you will never give up.

So if you need help
getting you off the

bed, this spirit
will do it for you.

Do I get a ghost?

Don't ever leave me, Mum.

Your company is uplifting me and

therefore I could
finish this study.

And lastly... What mother
would do this for me?

There is no room for
me in this world, Mum.

You can't know that either.

You will be in this
world for a long time,

But you have to
decide if you want to

belong to this world
and be paralysed?

You.

So... what do you want to do?

Get up and go out and
watch the sunset or rest?

Pass
me the laptop and headset, please.

I will finish my essay
and graduate thesis.

I've never been in a
love depression yet, but

I don't mean to give up
on Harvard right now.

And I decided to find a job...
maybe at an old elementary school.

What?

Groups, standard: 25

Number: 9550 Number: 4

Fifth point, ok.

- Honey, just a minute.
- Okay.

Open an email.

Insert.

"It's cold today.

Where are you? Pusa. "Send.

Where are we?

Molekule. Calculator,
please., That.

Mum, are you okay? You're cold.

No, I'm just excited
about this calculation.

- I'd work all night, why not?
- Because... it would kill you.

Okay, it wouldn't kill
you, but it would kill me

We menopausal women
should not rise at night.

I have to go lie down.

My peace and pain don't
know for a long time.

"Chapter 6 Discussion"

"The results of this study...
are the courage,

the informing... of
a close assistant,

residency and optimism in
the life of a teenager."

Done, almost.

Almost.

I change clothes and I'm done.

Mum, the game is not
over yet, it's actually

just begun. Now I have
to defend that essay.

I want to believe the truth.

Hey. How are you
doing? Is it bed time?

Ten more minutes.

Tomorrow is a great
day. You need to rest.

Post.

Open the mail

"Sorry, there was no contact
here. Big news... I'm engaged.

Jan"

"Congratulations."

Are you ready?

What happened? Tell me.

Jan is getting married.

Not.

It just wasn't for you, my sun.

I know it doesn't
help now, but there

is no man who has
not broken his heart.

But everything will be fixed
when the right man arrives.

Mum.

That?

If that doesn't happen to me,

will you be fine?

That. But I will not
lose hope that this

will happen one day, will you?
Not.

Not.

What standards do you
think you can offer

the system for those
who are different?

I believe my last name has the
potential to change the system.

My call is not
specifically specified.

How did you prepare
the stand in which

there is hope,
residency and reality?

I just brought you
a barrier analysis,

residences, and you
can compare that to

to those of Hope
Street colleagues.

He brought us the same report?
That.

After the graphics were done,
I spent all night invoicing.

An invoice with a theme,
it proves that it actually

connects the city as a
residency as in colleagues.

Good. I believe it went well.

Well done what you indicated...
on the one when

you opened all the
cards, don't you think?

I hope.

Rest, rest.

- Let me see., First., Safe?
- That. Then it is.

Come in, please.

Miss Ellison, we have examined
your theory of positive thinking

how you see peace in the world.

Another thing?

You have done a
wonderful job for public

policy with a price and so please

to continue doing these
static analyses for peace.

Thank you.

Thank you. Good girl.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, best
regards Brooke Ellison.

Good afternoon.

When I first came to
Harward four years ago.

I, too, have said goodbye
to many of my parents.

Like everyone else, my dad
left, but my mum didn't.

The presence of the mother,
though it is an unusual occurrence

I believe that everyone accepted

her, that she had
no social problems

no matter that some are here
just for the sake of wealth.

My mother was with me
every hour and every day.

She followed me in all my classes,

from the first class
to the last test,

Although we don't
like being controlled

every moment because
of our hormones,

We wouldn't be here
if they weren't...

put in their effort
and watched us when

we needed help on
this long journey.

I wouldn't be here
if it wasn't for

my mother... But
without all of you.

Some of you have a
divorce from your

parents, professors or friends.

You just need someone to tell you

the right word at
the right time...

then no one would run anywhere.

Love and care for one another.

My mother and I learnt
a lot from each other.

We hope that period is behind us.

And one more thing,
I would never hurt anyone.

The weather is very fragile...
and strong.

Tomorrow I leave Harward...
with my

mother and you wonderful people.

Miracles exist.

It happened to me,
and it happens to you.

Just love the people that are in
your life whenever you see them.

Congratulations to
all and God bless you.

All right, all set. Ready?

Yeah, just... can I have a minute?

Of course.

After graduation.
Brooke holds a BA in

Public Policy from
Harward University.

Jean went with her.

Brooke is pursuing a PhD at Stony

Booke University
near Ellison House

Ed and Jean are together again.
