Hey, aunt Tue is coming.
Yeah, aunt Tue! Aunt Tue!
Please take us home.
It's a bit full. Mind your seat.
OK.
-Let's go, aunt Tue!
-Let's go.
OK.
Welcome to the Magical Dance show,
the most popular talent show in Vietnam.
Please give a round of applause
for our judges, John Huy Tran,
actress Van Trang, and poet Phong Viet.
Why did you choose to join this show?
My son really loves it.
I believe he can do it.
He needs to practice more.
It's not that simple.
Tim, repeat after me: blue.
Blue.
Tue.
What are you saying, Tim?
Don't laugh at him. He can say it.
One more time, sweetheart: blue.
Blue.
Tue.
Red!
Red!

Tue.
Faster, aunt Tue! Faster!
Alright, we're here.
Thank you, aunt Tue!
Thanks, aunt Tue!
Good kids.
Hey Tim,
are you going to the market with us?
You go first.
Tim will stay here to help me.
OK. Thank you, aunt Tue!
Good boy!
Wait for Mommy here.
I'll be right back
after delivering those boxes, okay?
Tue!
Excellent!
Just a minute.
Welcome to the Magical Dance show.
As long as you have passion,
we will help you to shine.
Delivery, guys. Fresh morning glory.
You will...
Tim!
Tim!
Tim!
Is Tim here, Tam?
I have no idea.
Where did he go?
My gosh!
Let me know if he comes here.
Sure!
Tim!
Your favorite show is back, Chin!
Ladies and gentlemen,
the performance received two votes
from two judges,
Van Trang and John Huy Tran.
Judge Phong Viet
is still not satisfied with it.
Tim!
Tim!
Tim!
Tim!
Tim!
Tim!
Where did you go? You bad boy.
Stop beating him,
take him home to get changed.
How is he?
-He's fine.
-He's fine.
I need your clothes for him.
OK.
Holy moly!
Here, drink it when it's hot.
Help him.
Are you okay?
Did you swallow water?
Scared the hell out of me.
Get three bowls of rice to the place
that he fell and worship.
You should.
OK.
You look handsome in this shirt.
Are you wearing pants?
Of course! My God!
Giang's son is handsome.
Like father, like son.
-Isn't he?
-Giang.
Where were you?
How could you come just in time?
I'll be wherever Tue is.
No wonder why Tue doesn't care about you.
You should have let him stay here with us.
I know.
I told you.
If you're busy,
just leave him here.
I'll take care of him.
Yeah right,
last time his hands were nearly
cut off by the ice blender.
You should let him go to school.
It'll be so much easier for you,
and him, too.
He's going to school soon, Tam.
-Really?
-But he'll be one year behind.
Sounds good.
It's okay that you are one year behind.
I were even three years behind
but still, I became a successful man.
Stop talking bullshit.
Gosh, I heard you became a hero, saving
the pretty woman's son this morning.
While pretty...
Giang, let me help you.
Piece of a cake.
Hey, you have more than enough ice.
Why did you order more?
It's my business.
I can order as much as I want.
Are you selling?
You have that much free time?
Ordering one ice pack
every 30 minutes. Ridiculous.
I want to.
Where are you going?
Hey, wait, are you tired?
Have some energy drink,
then go to bed and sleep.
Are you insane?
Energy drink then go to bed? For what?
Well, have some energy drink
then go to bed. It makes you feel better.
25,000 dong for five packs.
Bring two more this afternoon
then I'll pay.
Okay.
Hang on, Giang. Mai...
Stop it!
Stop matching our name!
Sounds so irritating!
Giang Mai (syphilis). Why irritating?
Actually, it is... but Giang... Giang!
Did it hurt when I beat you?
I'm sorry. I was so scared.
Tim.
Tue.
Yeah... Mom Tue.
Mommy.
Tue.
Mommy.
Tue.
Just a second.
Hello.
You have my sympathy.
He should be in second grade.
Letting him study in first grade
is quite confusing.
I'm not sure whether he can.
He can, of course.
He knows a lot of things.
He can focus, not like last year.
Stay focused and get your books, please.
He is focusing.
He likes spinning stuff.
I'm afraid
he only focuses on what he likes.
-It'll be hard.
-No.
He'll just look at it for a while
then he'll be back to studying.
I hope so.
You can go now. The class has started.
-Thank you a lot, teacher.
-No problem.
Please repeat after me.
Yeah.
-"A".
-"A".
-"B".
-"B".
-"C".
-"C".
-"A".
-"A".
-"B".
-"B".
-"C".
-"C".
Tue.
What's wrong with you?
Why do you suddenly stop me?
Money.
-What money?
-School tuition for Tim.
Listen, it's for Tim.
Mom Tue doesn't have to work today.
Mind your own business.
Take it.
I don't want people to think that
I'm taking advantage of you.
Who dares to take advantage of me?
I only do what I want.
No one can force me.
I'll kill them if I have to.
Take it, Tue.
I know that you care about us.
But I can take care of it.
Tue, wait...
Okay... you borrow it from me.
Pay me back when you can.
I don't need it.
Leave me the alone!
I mean don't worry about us.
Tue!
Tue!
Hey, Tue.
Are you going to take
all the jobs from us?
Delivering fish and stuff,
then making salt.
Make some time to find a father for Tim.
She doesn't have to.
Don't you see Giang running around her?
Tim is going to school.
I need more work to do.
Is he able to go to school?
Yes, he is. He's a normal boy.
He's crazy. How can he go to school?
What did you just say?
I said he was crazy.
Enough.
Hey!
Say anything you want about me,
-but don't you dare mention my son.
-Let it go!
-I'm saying the truth.
-Why is he crazy?
He can't even say "Mom". Idiot.
Don't.
Come on, let me through.
Tue.
Tue! Tim is in trouble.
Tim is in trouble.
Mrs. Tue. I'm so sorry about this,
but you know that
Tim is not as normal as the other kids.
He can't study here.
I hope you understand.
Based on the result,
Tim has symptoms of autism.
What is autism?
Is this disease curable?
Please keep calm.
Autism is not a disease.
It's a kind of disorder
of behaviors and languages.
Children will face difficulties with
social interaction and communication.
Chidren with autism like Tim
will face a lot of challenges in life.
Even with the simplest behaviors.
To teach children with autism,
we need to have scientific methods,
a special learning program.
That's why the tuition is quite high.
You're a special kid.
No matter what happens,
I will never give up.
Never!
-Tim, red.
-Tue.
Tue!
Tue.
What's wrong? Are you okay?
Use some oil.
-For your hands, too.
-Stop it!
Uncle, I need to give her something.
Alright, I'm fine.
Sis Tue, have some sugar tea.
What are you doing? Let me do it.
Keep it.
Who asked you?
Have some sugar tea, Tue.
-Drink it.
-Let me do it.
Have some medicine, big sis.
Why... you guys?
Have some medicine.
I don't need it.
I'm not sick.
It's tonic, not for sickness.
Well, I need to deliver something.
No. Let me take you home.
Hey kids, help her.
Yeah, right. Let's do it.
Come on!
I can do it. Are you crazy?
Later come to uncle Tam's,
look after Tim for me.
Don’t worry about it.
You can take him to your house.
Oh, gosh!
No, no way.
Listen, Tim.
If you put your fingers into the fan,
your finger will be cut off.
What on earth?
He asked me to turn on the fan.
Come on.
-Stop!
-Do what he wants.
It's so hot. Get him off.
Why are you holding him? It's too hot.
He shouts because it's too hot.
See?
It's cooler. He's happy now.
See that?
-Well... My gosh!
-You see?
Who's messing with my boy?
What's up, Tam?
-He wants to turn on the fan.
-Stop!
Don't cry, honey.
Gosh, do it for him.
It's damn hot outside, what's the point
of saving some electricity?
-But he...
-What?
If you want to save some money,
I'll pay the bill for you.
Oh, you want to play?
This is to turn it off.
He wants to play with the fan.
This is to turn it on. Great job!
Follow your daddy...
We've tried our best,
we can only offer 30% discount for Tim.
Hope you understand.
Tue…
Giang…
Tue…
Are you insane?
You want me to die?
I didn't mean it.
I heard it was a severe accident,
the car seemed
to have crashed up on the sidewalk.
Scared the hell out of me!
Ask Tim how I felt.
Tim, tell your mom.
Tue!
Saying that does me no good.
Well, I'm going to take
some medicine then we'll go home.
Wait... ask the doctor
to check the difficult... sickness.
It's fine, the doctor will call me
when he has the result.
Okay, let me drive you two home.
Let's celebrate, right?
You don’t have to say anything,
I understand.
How could you think it's possible?
Why not?
Giang needs to have his own family.
But Giang doesn't like Mai.
He likes big sis.
Hey, who says Giang doesn't like me?
Actually he's good at hiding it.
That's why I need you guys to make a scene
that pushes him to tell the truth.
Stop saying bullshit, Mai.
Gosh!
I told you.
Even our names can never match together,
so as us.
But…
There's no "but".
To get rid of your desire,
I decided.
I will marry Tue.
Let's get married, get married
Let's get married
Our youth will pass by
In the blink of an eye
Let me love you forever
Let's get married, get married
What's the point of dating,
If we don't get married?
Let's get married, get married
What do you think? Tell me
Or let's go to the ward
And have our marriage license
For how long have we been in love?
I can't wait any longer
I'm worried every day
What if you're bored of me?
And fond of the other guys
I would rather die
How can I live?
I decide that we're going to get married
Let's do it soon
Delay it, we may have kids first
Enough?
I'm not kidding.
Tue.
Let's live together.
You're sure you don't mind
what people say about you raising a child
not yours?
You're sure that you love Tim,
and you can take care of him
for the rest of your life?
-You can't answer, right?
-I...
Then forget all the bullshit
that you did.
-It's not like that, Tue...
-Go away!
Tue.
Tue.
She was my teacher.
She loves her students with all her heart.
I told her about Tim.
I retired long time ago.
I just missed my students, so I gathered
all the poor kids in this fishing village,
so they can learn how to read.
I hope that…
you will let Tim join.
I don't have much experience
on children with autism.
But I think the best way
is to give them love,
especially with this special kids.
Sure.
Thank you so much.
Don't mention it.
These are some documents
about children with autism.
Please keep them as references.
That's good.
Thank you.
Two times one is two.
Two times two is four.
Two times three is six.
Two times four is eight.
Two times five is ten.
Hello, teacher.
Hello, how are you?
Say hello to her.
Come to me.
Let's go Tim.
It's fine, he'll get used to it.
Hopefully…
Come here.
Let's make some friends here, Tim.
Here, everyone,
we have a new friend today.
He's Tim.
He's very kind, just a little shy.
So you all need to take care of him
and help him, okay?
-Yes.
-Good.
This is Bear.
Hi Tim, I'm Bear.
-Very good.
-This is Fish.
Hi Tim, I'm Fish.
And this is Cat.
Hello, I'm Cat.
This is our prettiest girl,
her name is Cuc Hoa.
Hi Tim.
Just say it so I can eat.
Calm down.
If not, I'll go home.
Hey, sit down, don't be mad.
I want... you guys to ask Giang out,
then...
Hey, I haven't finished yet.
Okay, Tim,
I'm going to teach you to say "Flower".
Speak after me.
Flower.
Let's say together,
so Tim can follow: Flower.
Flower.
Okay, flower.
Flower.
Very good.
One more time: flower.
Flower.
Flower.
Flower.
Flower.
What did you just say? Say it again!
Flower.
That's right! One more time.
Flower.
Excellent.
-Flower.

Red.
Nice, very nice.
Green.
Blue.
Great! Let's repeat!
Red.
You're awesome!
Now say "Mommy".
Tue.
Yes, mommy Tue.
He drew for you.
So beautiful.
Thank you.
Le.
You passed away before seeing your son.
Please bless me and give me
more strength to get through this pain.
Please help me be healthy
to raise our kid.
I'm so sorry to say that cancer cells
have spread.
You must
stay in the hospital.
If you don't,
I'm afraid…
Tim.
This is our picture.
Is it beautiful?
Tue.
You have to keep it with you always.
I'll always be with you.
Why did you choose this show?
I…
Please keep going.
I don't want my boy to win or anything.
I just hope he…
my son…
can have some experience,
he can face some challenges and...
be more confident.
We need more time to practice.
It's not as simple as you think.
I know,
but my son really likes this show.
I believe he can do it.
Sinh.
-Sinh.
-Okay.
We can't choose them.
Why not?
The purpose of this show
is to find talents...
-not a show--
-Quan...
you should remember...
I do the show not to promote anyone.
I need something unique,
right from this round.
They are unique.
But how can we let them in?
That's your job.
I don't need to know.
Quan,
don't you find this story touching?
And the audience
really likes this kind of things.
I don't think they can make it.
There's no arguing about it.
The more tears and attention
you can get from the audience, the better.
-But how can I--
-Again!
We need to go to the top with this story.
If you think you're not able to do it...
just quit.
Alright, Tim,
follow me.
One.
One step over here.
One more step.
-Two.
-Come on, sweetheart.
-One step here.
-Tue!
-Tim.
-Tue.
You can do it, right?
Over here.
Tim is a good boy.
Let me show you.
Okay, step over here.
-Step over.
-Do it, honey.
-One.
-Tim can do it.
-Do it.
-Tue.
-Next move.
-Next move, Tim.
-Tue.
-Tim.
Good boy, you can do it.
Tim, be a good boy.
Please take this.
Consider it as I want to support you.
As long as you leave the show.
This is a talent show,
not a charity show.
Don't you see that you are wasting
our time?
Sorry.
Let's go.
Mrs. Tue.
Take it.
You're wrong.
I don't need money now.
I just need my son to be more confident.
You will never understand.
Thank you.
-Tue.
-Mrs. Tue!
How long has your sister
been taking this medicine for?
It's for patients with cancer.
Mrs. Tue!
Hi.
Thank you for taking me here in time.
Let me pay you back.
No need.
No, I don't want to owe anyone.
And I don't want to waste anyone's time.
Thank you.
Let's go, honey.
Mrs. Tue!
Why didn't you tell us...
such a big thing?
I don't want to trade my sickness...
for your sympathy.
But...
you've already thought I came here...
just for money.
Push it!
A little more!
More!
-What?
-I'm stuck!
-You can't do anything.
-Hurry.
Move, move ,move!
-Okay?
-A little more, move.
Alright!
Okay, leave it.
My hand!
What's wrong with you guys today?
Stronger, a little more!
Put your hands in!
Make sure the roof won't leak.
Tue, the roof is still good.
Why do you change it?
The rainy season is coming.
Just do it, don't ask.
Well, do it.
Here.
Quick.
Do you know how to do it?
I'm pushing!
Giang, I'll cook tonight. Will you come?
Hey...
Present for me?
If you have time,
let Tim know your phone number,
and uncle Tam's number.
So he can call you guys
in case he's in trouble.
Your number is in red.
Uncle Tam's number is in green.
Alright, daddy will
teach you how to use a cell phone.
What did you just say?
Don't mind me! Who cares?
Let's eat.
Here, have some.
Let's celebrate our new cell phone.
-Open your mouth!
-It's too big for him.
Big?
Open your mouth!
Done! Chew it!
Whose number is in red?
Giang's.
Whose's in green?
Tam's.
Hey Tue, how about your number?
No need. I'm always with him.
Okay, Tim...
What is it?
Gosh!
Dinner and a house.
Who would have thought!
If I come for dinner tomorrow,
my name will be in your household?
Sorry.
Stop joking.
But...
I've been very forgetful these days.
If you don't want it,
I'll give it to uncle Tam.
I'll keep it for you.
I bet my life on it.
Thank you.
It's getting late.
Yeah.
Well...
Are you insane?
-Tue...
-What's up?
Your house ownership certificate.
Auntie.
-Broken rice?
-No, auntie.
I'm looking for Tue.
She just drove the tuk-tuk away,
follow her!
Thank you so much.
Hey.
-What the hell!
-I'm sorry.
-Tam!
-What?
Your dude? He looks better than uncle Tam.
-What's wrong?
-What bullshit are you talking about?
-That dude!
-Do you know who he is?
Who?
Tue's boyfriend from Saigon.
Speechless?
Are you mad?
Mrs. Tue!
From uncle Tam.
You come here?
I'm looking for you.
I want to apologize
and bring you back to the contest.
But you were the one who rejected us.
Mrs. Tue!
Please forgive me.
Don't you want Tim to be more confident?
But I don't want to bother anyone.
Thank you.
Mrs. Tue!
I really hope you two will
come back to the show.
Or I'll be regretful
for what I have done to you.
Thank you, let me...
Let me do it, for redemption.
Do you understand?
Otherwise, Tue will never forgive me.
Why are you still here?
I'm rolling the egg on his face.
You can go now.
Here.
Okay, I'll go.
Wow,
when people are eaten up with jealousy...
What are you talking about? Who's jealous?
We are just friends.
Daddy's leaving, Tim.
Take good care of mommy.
Stop it!
Just go!
Drive safe!
Such nonsense. Don't mind him.
But he's a good guy.
Teacher,
please don't tell anyone about my illness.
I know.
Tue!
I really hope
you guys will return to the show.
I think it's impossible.
I don't want to bother people.
You don't even give up on your destiny,
how can I give up on this?
Here they come.
Give me!
-Take good care of yourself and Tim.
-Okay.
Look after him.
It's easy for him to catch a cold.
-You take care of yourself, too.
-Sure.
Tim, listen to me.
Try your best to be the champion.
Good luck, Tim.
You can do it.
Go, Tim!
Wait for me.
What are you bringing, Giang?
Dried fish for teachers.
Goodbye.
Wait for my good news, guys!
Take care, bro!
Let's go! It's pretty cool here.
Goodbye, Tim.
Take care, honey.
Bring home gold medal for Daddy.
Giang, why didn't you go with them?
I'm going home!
Hey, give me the fried fish.
An impressive performance
of the contestant number 83.
Please stay tuned to know
who will get into next round.
Ladies and gentlemen, passion always
bring us inspiring stories.
Next week, we will share with you
a very touching story
about a mother's love.
But first, let's watch
a short clip about them.
Look! That's Tue!
That's my son! My son!
He looks more clever on TV.
I asked his mother to join this show.
Hey, let's listen to Tue.
All women,
all mothers love their children.
I just have one fear...
that one day, I won't have the chance
to hold my son's hands,
to protect him anymore.
I joined this show
so that we can have beautiful memories.
Ladies and gentlemen,
someone said that
the love of a mother is the most peaceful
and magical love that exists.
The story of our two special contestants,
Tim and his mother, proves it all.
And one more thing,
Tue wants to keep it for herself,
but we need to share this for her.
When this clip is airing,
Tue is fighting with stage four cancer.
What we hope by sharing this story
is your compassion for her
to help lengthen her life,
give her some more time with her son.
Tue, the roof is still okay.
Why are you changing it?
The rainy season is coming.
Just do it, don't ask.
Okay.
-When you're free...
-Uhm...?
Show Tim how to call your phone number
and uncle Tam's number.
So he can call you guys
in case he's in trouble.
Tue, how about your number?
No need. I'm aways with him.
Gosh!
This is my treasure.
I've been forgetful lately.
Poor them.
I told you not to share
my illness to anyone.
Please listen, Mrs. Tue...
I don't need empathy.
Are you okay?
Tue!
Tue.
I...
I know what you want to say.
Don't waste your empathy...
No.
I really love you.
Tim needs a father.
Don't be cruel to yourself.
Don't be cruel to me.
I may die soon.
I don't care.
I just want to take care of you
and Tim, even just for one day.
I want to be with you,
I want to look after you.
And I really need to...
I want to love you.
I don't want to die.
I can't leave my son.
It's okay.
Why me?
I don't want to die.
Mrs. Tue, I'm... sorry.
To be honest,
with the reaction of the audience lately,
I think it's good for Tim.
We really expect the audience
will be with you two until the end.
-Tim follow me.
-Five six seven go.
One, two, three and four.
-Tue.
-Tim, Tim.
Tim, follow me.
-Tue.
-Tim.
Tim.
Tue.
What's wrong, Quan? Why didn't
you inform me about Tue's disease earlier?
Hey, you were the one wanted top rating
by their tragic story.
But I've changed my mind.
I don't want to take this risk.
MAGICAL DANCE
Send two guys to get Giang and Tue
from the gate.
OK.
Quan.
Quan!
Where is Tue?
Oh my...
Let me give them some ice tea.
Put it here.
Be careful!
Drop it, I'll kill you.
Put it here.
-Closer to the wall.
-Faster!
It's fine.
We're coming.
Get ready.
Are you ok?
Come on, Tue.
Go get changed, Tim.
Oh, great! I like this makeup.
Elegant, sharp, and classy.
Natural lip's color.
I haven't put on lipstick yet.
Really? Looks like you did.
Fine, keep going.
You just came?
-You're going to wear this shirt?
-Yeah.
It's not your style.
The stylists didn't give you your outfits?
They gave me this.
Did they?
The flower looks nice.
Sinh!
You're late, man.
Are you joking? I'm the earliest.
Fine! Fine!
Wear some makeup first.
Oh my god!
Quan... Quan!
What now? Don't mess with me.
When will Tue show up?
I'll do what I promised.
Just let me do my job.
You...
You...
-Hello?
-Tue's fainted.
Sorry.
Dong, open the file.
Quan, what's going on?
It's time.
Medicine.
Go, Tim!

Don't call me mommy.
I still need to get a girlfriend.
Tue!
I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.
I'm kidding.
You got me.
Call me daddy Giang.
Don't call me mommy. Understand?
Get it?
Yeah, aunt Tue! Aunt Tue!
Please take us home.
It's a bit full. Mind your seat.
OK.
-Let's go, aunt Tue!
-Let's go.
OK.
Welcome to the Magical Dance show,
the most popular talent show in Vietnam.
Please give a round of applause
for our judges, John Huy Tran,
actress Van Trang, and poet Phong Viet.
Why did you choose to join this show?
My son really loves it.
I believe he can do it.
He needs to practice more.
It's not that simple.
Tim, repeat after me: blue.
Blue.
Tue.
What are you saying, Tim?
Don't laugh at him. He can say it.
One more time, sweetheart: blue.
Blue.
Tue.
Red!
Red!
Tue.
Blue!
Blue!
Tue.
Red!
Red!
Tue.
Faster, aunt Tue! Faster!
Alright, we're here.
Thank you, aunt Tue!
Thanks, aunt Tue!
Good kids.
Hey Tim,
are you going to the market with us?
You go first.
Tim will stay here to help me.
OK. Thank you, aunt Tue!
Good boy!
Wait for Mommy here.
I'll be right back
after delivering those boxes, okay?
Tue!
Excellent!
Just a minute.
Welcome to the Magical Dance show.
As long as you have passion,
we will help you to shine.
Delivery, guys. Fresh morning glory.
You will...
Tim!
Tim!
Tim!
Is Tim here, Tam?
I have no idea.
Where did he go?
My gosh!
Let me know if he comes here.
Sure!
Tim!
Your favorite show is back, Chin!
Ladies and gentlemen,
the performance received two votes
from two judges,
Van Trang and John Huy Tran.
Judge Phong Viet
is still not satisfied with it.
Tim!
Tim!
Tim!
Tim!
Tim!
Tim!
Where did you go? You bad boy.
Stop beating him,
take him home to get changed.
How is he?
-He's fine.
-He's fine.
I need your clothes for him.
OK.
Holy moly!
Here, drink it when it's hot.
Help him.
Are you okay?
Did you swallow water?
Scared the hell out of me.
Get three bowls of rice to the place
that he fell and worship.
You should.
OK.
You look handsome in this shirt.
Are you wearing pants?
Of course! My God!
Giang's son is handsome.
Like father, like son.
-Isn't he?
-Giang.
Where were you?
How could you come just in time?
I'll be wherever Tue is.
No wonder why Tue doesn't care about you.
You should have let him stay here with us.
I know.
I told you.
If you're busy,
just leave him here.
I'll take care of him.
Yeah right,
last time his hands were nearly
cut off by the ice blender.
You should let him go to school.
It'll be so much easier for you,
and him, too.
He's going to school soon, Tam.
-Really?
-But he'll be one year behind.
Sounds good.
It's okay that you are one year behind.
I were even three years behind
but still, I became a successful man.
Stop talking bullshit.
Gosh, I heard you became a hero, saving
the pretty woman's son this morning.
While pretty...
Giang, let me help you.
Piece of a cake.
Hey, you have more than enough ice.
Why did you order more?
It's my business.
I can order as much as I want.
Are you selling?
You have that much free time?
Ordering one ice pack
every 30 minutes. Ridiculous.
I want to.
Where are you going?
Hey, wait, are you tired?
Have some energy drink,
then go to bed and sleep.
Are you insane?
Energy drink then go to bed? For what?
Well, have some energy drink
then go to bed. It makes you feel better.
25,000 dong for five packs.
Bring two more this afternoon
then I'll pay.
Okay.
Hang on, Giang. Mai...
Stop it!
Stop matching our name!
Sounds so irritating!
Giang Mai (syphilis). Why irritating?
Actually, it is... but Giang... Giang!
Did it hurt when I beat you?
I'm sorry. I was so scared.
Tim.
Tue.
Yeah... Mom Tue.
Mommy.
Tue.
Mommy.
Tue.
Just a second.
Hello.
You have my sympathy.
He should be in second grade.
Letting him study in first grade
is quite confusing.
I'm not sure whether he can.
He can, of course.
He knows a lot of things.
He can focus, not like last year.
Stay focused and get your books, please.
He is focusing.
He likes spinning stuff.
I'm afraid
he only focuses on what he likes.
-It'll be hard.
-No.
He'll just look at it for a while
then he'll be back to studying.
I hope so.
You can go now. The class has started.
-Thank you a lot, teacher.
-No problem.
Please repeat after me.
Yeah.
-"A".
-"A".
-"B".
-"B".
-"C".
-"C".
-"A".
-"A".
-"B".
-"B".
-"C".
-"C".
Tue.
What's wrong with you?
Why do you suddenly stop me?
Money.
-What money?
-School tuition for Tim.
Listen, it's for Tim.
Mom Tue doesn't have to work today.
Mind your own business.
Take it.
I don't want people to think that
I'm taking advantage of you.
Who dares to take advantage of me?
I only do what I want.
No one can force me.
I'll kill them if I have to.
Take it, Tue.
I know that you care about us.
But I can take care of it.
Tue, wait...
Okay... you borrow it from me.
Pay me back when you can.
I don't need it.
Leave me the alone!
I mean don't worry about us.
Tue!
Tue!
Hey, Tue.
Are you going to take
all the jobs from us?
Delivering fish and stuff,
then making salt.
Make some time to find a father for Tim.
She doesn't have to.
Don't you see Giang running around her?
Tim is going to school.
I need more work to do.
Is he able to go to school?
Yes, he is. He's a normal boy.
He's crazy. How can he go to school?
What did you just say?
I said he was crazy.
Enough.
Hey!
Say anything you want about me,
-but don't you dare mention my son.
-Let it go!
-I'm saying the truth.
-Why is he crazy?
He can't even say "Mom". Idiot.
Don't.
Come on, let me through.
Tue.
Tue! Tim is in trouble.
Tim is in trouble.
Mrs. Tue. I'm so sorry about this,
but you know that
Tim is not as normal as the other kids.
He can't study here.
I hope you understand.
Based on the result,
Tim has symptoms of autism.
What is autism?
Is this disease curable?
Please keep calm.
Autism is not a disease.
It's a kind of disorder
of behaviors and languages.
Children will face difficulties with
social interaction and communication.
Chidren with autism like Tim
will face a lot of challenges in life.
Even with the simplest behaviors.
To teach children with autism,
we need to have scientific methods,
a special learning program.
That's why the tuition is quite high.
You're a special kid.
No matter what happens,
I will never give up.
Never!
-Tim, red.
-Tue.
Tue!
Tue.
What's wrong? Are you okay?
Use some oil.
-For your hands, too.
-Stop it!
Uncle, I need to give her something.
Alright, I'm fine.
Sis Tue, have some sugar tea.
What are you doing? Let me do it.
Keep it.
Who asked you?
Have some sugar tea, Tue.
-Drink it.
-Let me do it.
Have some medicine, big sis.
Why... you guys?
Have some medicine.
I don't need it.
I'm not sick.
It's tonic, not for sickness.
Well, I need to deliver something.
No. Let me take you home.
Hey kids, help her.
Yeah, right. Let's do it.
Come on!
I can do it. Are you crazy?
Later come to uncle Tam's,
look after Tim for me.
Don’t worry about it.
You can take him to your house.
Oh, gosh!
No, no way.
Listen, Tim.
If you put your fingers into the fan,
your finger will be cut off.
What on earth?
He asked me to turn on the fan.
Come on.
-Stop!
-Do what he wants.
It's so hot. Get him off.
Why are you holding him? It's too hot.
He shouts because it's too hot.
See?
It's cooler. He's happy now.
See that?
-Well... My gosh!
-You see?
Who's messing with my boy?
What's up, Tam?
-He wants to turn on the fan.
-Stop!
Don't cry, honey.
Gosh, do it for him.
It's damn hot outside, what's the point
of saving some electricity?
-But he...
-What?
If you want to save some money,
I'll pay the bill for you.
Oh, you want to play?
This is to turn it off.
He wants to play with the fan.
This is to turn it on. Great job!
Follow your daddy...
We've tried our best,
we can only offer 30% discount for Tim.
Hope you understand.
Tue…
Giang…
Tue…
Are you insane?
You want me to die?
I didn't mean it.
I heard it was a severe accident,
the car seemed
to have crashed up on the sidewalk.
Scared the hell out of me!
Ask Tim how I felt.
Tim, tell your mom.
Tue!
Saying that does me no good.
Well, I'm going to take
some medicine then we'll go home.
Wait... ask the doctor
to check the difficult... sickness.
It's fine, the doctor will call me
when he has the result.
Okay, let me drive you two home.
Let's celebrate, right?
You don’t have to say anything,
I understand.
How could you think it's possible?
Why not?
Giang needs to have his own family.
But Giang doesn't like Mai.
He likes big sis.
Hey, who says Giang doesn't like me?
Actually he's good at hiding it.
That's why I need you guys to make a scene
that pushes him to tell the truth.
Stop saying bullshit, Mai.
Gosh!
I told you.
Even our names can never match together,
so as us.
But…
There's no "but".
To get rid of your desire,
I decided.
I will marry Tue.
Let's get married, get married
Let's get married
Our youth will pass by
In the blink of an eye
Let me love you forever
Let's get married, get married
What's the point of dating,
If we don't get married?
Let's get married, get married
What do you think? Tell me
Or let's go to the ward
And have our marriage license
For how long have we been in love?
I can't wait any longer
I'm worried every day
What if you're bored of me?
And fond of the other guys
I would rather die
How can I live?
I decide that we're going to get married
Let's do it soon
Delay it, we may have kids first
Enough?
I'm not kidding.
Tue.
Let's live together.
You're sure you don't mind
what people say about you raising a child
not yours?
You're sure that you love Tim,
and you can take care of him
for the rest of your life?
-You can't answer, right?
-I...
Then forget all the bullshit
that you did.
-It's not like that, Tue...
-Go away!
Tue.
Tue.
She was my teacher.
She loves her students with all her heart.
I told her about Tim.
I retired long time ago.
I just missed my students, so I gathered
all the poor kids in this fishing village,
so they can learn how to read.
I hope that…
you will let Tim join.
I don't have much experience
on children with autism.
But I think the best way
is to give them love,
especially with this special kids.
Sure.
Thank you so much.
Don't mention it.
These are some documents
about children with autism.
Please keep them as references.
That's good.
Thank you.
Two times one is two.
Two times two is four.
Two times three is six.
Two times four is eight.
Two times five is ten.
Hello, teacher.
Hello, how are you?
Say hello to her.
Come to me.
Let's go Tim.
It's fine, he'll get used to it.
Hopefully…
Come here.
Let's make some friends here, Tim.
Here, everyone,
we have a new friend today.
He's Tim.
He's very kind, just a little shy.
So you all need to take care of him
and help him, okay?
-Yes.
-Good.
This is Bear.
Hi Tim, I'm Bear.
-Very good.
-This is Fish.
Hi Tim, I'm Fish.
And this is Cat.
Hello, I'm Cat.
This is our prettiest girl,
her name is Cuc Hoa.
Hi Tim.
Just say it so I can eat.
Calm down.
If not, I'll go home.
Hey, sit down, don't be mad.
I want... you guys to ask Giang out,
then...
Hey, I haven't finished yet.
Okay, Tim,
I'm going to teach you to say "Flower".
Speak after me.
Flower.
Let's say together,
so Tim can follow: Flower.
Flower.
Okay, flower.
Flower.
Very good.
One more time: flower.
Flower.
Flower.
Flower.
Flower.
What did you just say? Say it again!
Flower.
That's right! One more time.
Flower.
Excellent.
-Flower.
-Flower.
Flower.
Flower.
Flower.
Flower.
Red.
Red.
Nice, very nice.
Green.
Blue.
Great! Let's repeat!
Red.
You're awesome!
Now say "Mommy".
Tue.
Yes, mommy Tue.
He drew for you.
So beautiful.
Thank you.
Le.
You passed away before seeing your son.
Please bless me and give me
more strength to get through this pain.
Please help me be healthy
to raise our kid.
I'm so sorry to say that cancer cells
have spread.
You must
stay in the hospital.
If you don't,
I'm afraid…
Tim.
This is our picture.
Is it beautiful?
Tue.
You have to keep it with you always.
I'll always be with you.
Why did you choose this show?
I…
Please keep going.
I don't want my boy to win or anything.
I just hope he…
my son…
can have some experience,
he can face some challenges and...
be more confident.
We need more time to practice.
It's not as simple as you think.
I know,
but my son really likes this show.
I believe he can do it.
Sinh.
-Sinh.
-Okay.
We can't choose them.
Why not?
The purpose of this show
is to find talents...
-not a show--
-Quan...
you should remember...
I do the show not to promote anyone.
I need something unique,
right from this round.
They are unique.
But how can we let them in?
That's your job.
I don't need to know.
Quan,
don't you find this story touching?
And the audience
really likes this kind of things.
I don't think they can make it.
There's no arguing about it.
The more tears and attention
you can get from the audience, the better.
-But how can I--
-Again!
We need to go to the top with this story.
If you think you're not able to do it...
just quit.
Alright, Tim,
follow me.
One.
One step over here.
One more step.
-Two.
-Come on, sweetheart.
-One step here.
-Tue!
-Tim.
-Tue.
You can do it, right?
Over here.
Tim is a good boy.
Let me show you.
Okay, step over here.
-Step over.
-Do it, honey.
-One.
-Tim can do it.
-Do it.
-Tue.
-Next move.
-Next move, Tim.
-Tue.
-Tim.
Good boy, you can do it.
Tim, be a good boy.
Please take this.
Consider it as I want to support you.
As long as you leave the show.
This is a talent show,
not a charity show.
Don't you see that you are wasting
our time?
Sorry.
Let's go.
Mrs. Tue.
Take it.
You're wrong.
I don't need money now.
I just need my son to be more confident.
You will never understand.
Thank you.
-Tue.
-Mrs. Tue!
How long has your sister
been taking this medicine for?
It's for patients with cancer.
Mrs. Tue!
Hi.
Thank you for taking me here in time.
Let me pay you back.
No need.
No, I don't want to owe anyone.
And I don't want to waste anyone's time.
Thank you.
Let's go, honey.
Mrs. Tue!
Why didn't you tell us...
such a big thing?
I don't want to trade my sickness...
for your sympathy.
But...
you've already thought I came here...
just for money.
Push it!
A little more!
More!
-What?
-I'm stuck!
-You can't do anything.
-Hurry.
Move, move ,move!
-Okay?
-A little more, move.
Alright!
Okay, leave it.
My hand!
What's wrong with you guys today?
Stronger, a little more!
Put your hands in!
Make sure the roof won't leak.
Tue, the roof is still good.
Why do you change it?
The rainy season is coming.
Just do it, don't ask.
Well, do it.
Here.
Quick.
Do you know how to do it?
I'm pushing!
Giang, I'll cook tonight. Will you come?
Hey...
Present for me?
If you have time,
let Tim know your phone number,
and uncle Tam's number.
So he can call you guys
in case he's in trouble.
Your number is in red.
Uncle Tam's number is in green.
Alright, daddy will
teach you how to use a cell phone.
What did you just say?
Don't mind me! Who cares?
Let's eat.
Here, have some.
Let's celebrate our new cell phone.
-Open your mouth!
-It's too big for him.
Big?
Open your mouth!
Done! Chew it!
Whose number is in red?
Giang's.
Whose's in green?
Tam's.
Hey Tue, how about your number?
No need. I'm always with him.
Okay, Tim...
What is it?
Gosh!
Dinner and a house.
Who would have thought!
If I come for dinner tomorrow,
my name will be in your household?
Sorry.
Stop joking.
But...
I've been very forgetful these days.
If you don't want it,
I'll give it to uncle Tam.
I'll keep it for you.
I bet my life on it.
Thank you.
It's getting late.
Yeah.
Well...
Are you insane?
-Tue...
-What's up?
Your house ownership certificate.
Auntie.
-Broken rice?
-No, auntie.
I'm looking for Tue.
She just drove the tuk-tuk away,
follow her!
Thank you so much.
Hey.
-What the hell!
-I'm sorry.
-Tam!
-What?
Your dude? He looks better than uncle Tam.
-What's wrong?
-What bullshit are you talking about?
-That dude!
-Do you know who he is?
Who?
Tue's boyfriend from Saigon.
Speechless?
Are you mad?
Mrs. Tue!
From uncle Tam.
You come here?
I'm looking for you.
I want to apologize
and bring you back to the contest.
But you were the one who rejected us.
Mrs. Tue!
Please forgive me.
Don't you want Tim to be more confident?
But I don't want to bother anyone.
Thank you.
Mrs. Tue!
I really hope you two will
come back to the show.
Or I'll be regretful
for what I have done to you.
Thank you, let me...
Let me do it, for redemption.
Do you understand?
Otherwise, Tue will never forgive me.
Why are you still here?
I'm rolling the egg on his face.
You can go now.
Here.
Okay, I'll go.
Wow,
when people are eaten up with jealousy...
What are you talking about? Who's jealous?
We are just friends.
Daddy's leaving, Tim.
Take good care of mommy.
Stop it!
Just go!
Drive safe!
Such nonsense. Don't mind him.
But he's a good guy.
Teacher,
please don't tell anyone about my illness.
I know.
Tue!
I really hope
you guys will return to the show.
I think it's impossible.
I don't want to bother people.
You don't even give up on your destiny,
how can I give up on this?
Here they come.
Give me!
-Take good care of yourself and Tim.
-Okay.
Look after him.
It's easy for him to catch a cold.
-You take care of yourself, too.
-Sure.
Tim, listen to me.
Try your best to be the champion.
Good luck, Tim.
You can do it.
Go, Tim!
Wait for me.
What are you bringing, Giang?
Dried fish for teachers.
Goodbye.
Wait for my good news, guys!
Take care, bro!
Let's go! It's pretty cool here.
Goodbye, Tim.
Take care, honey.
Bring home gold medal for Daddy.
Giang, why didn't you go with them?
I'm going home!
Hey, give me the fried fish.
An impressive performance
of the contestant number 83.
Please stay tuned to know
who will get into next round.
Ladies and gentlemen, passion always
bring us inspiring stories.
Next week, we will share with you
a very touching story
about a mother's love.
But first, let's watch
a short clip about them.
Look! That's Tue!
That's my son! My son!
He looks more clever on TV.
I asked his mother to join this show.
Hey, let's listen to Tue.
All women,
all mothers love their children.
I just have one fear...
that one day, I won't have the chance
to hold my son's hands,
to protect him anymore.
I joined this show
so that we can have beautiful memories.
Ladies and gentlemen,
someone said that
the love of a mother is the most peaceful
and magical love that exists.
The story of our two special contestants,
Tim and his mother, proves it all.
And one more thing,
Tue wants to keep it for herself,
but we need to share this for her.
When this clip is airing,
Tue is fighting with stage four cancer.
What we hope by sharing this story
is your compassion for her
to help lengthen her life,
give her some more time with her son.
Tue, the roof is still okay.
Why are you changing it?
The rainy season is coming.
Just do it, don't ask.
Okay.
-When you're free...
-Uhm...?
Show Tim how to call your phone number
and uncle Tam's number.
So he can call you guys
in case he's in trouble.
Tue, how about your number?
No need. I'm aways with him.
Gosh!
This is my treasure.
I've been forgetful lately.
Poor them.
I told you not to share
my illness to anyone.
Please listen, Mrs. Tue...
I don't need empathy.
Are you okay?
Tue!
Tue.
I...
I know what you want to say.
Don't waste your empathy...
No.
I really love you.
Tim needs a father.
Don't be cruel to yourself.
Don't be cruel to me.
I may die soon.
I don't care.
I just want to take care of you
and Tim, even just for one day.
I want to be with you,
I want to look after you.
And I really need to...
I want to love you.
I don't want to die.
I can't leave my son.
It's okay.
Why me?
I don't want to die.
Mrs. Tue, I'm... sorry.
To be honest,
with the reaction of the audience lately,
I think it's good for Tim.
We really expect the audience
will be with you two until the end.
-Tim follow me.
-Five six seven go.
One, two, three and four.
-Tue.
-Tim, Tim.
Tim, follow me.
-Tue.
-Tim.
Tim.
Tue.
What's wrong, Quan? Why didn't
you inform me about Tue's disease earlier?
Hey, you were the one wanted top rating
by their tragic story.
But I've changed my mind.
I don't want to take this risk.
MAGICAL DANCE
Send two guys to get Giang and Tue
from the gate.
OK.
Quan.
Quan!
Where is Tue?
Oh my...
Let me give them some ice tea.
Put it here.
Be careful!
Drop it, I'll kill you.
Put it here.
-Closer to the wall.
-Faster!
It's fine.
We're coming.
Get ready.
Are you ok?
Come on, Tue.
Go get changed, Tim.
Oh, great! I like this makeup.
Elegant, sharp, and classy.
Natural lip's color.
I haven't put on lipstick yet.
Really? Looks like you did.
Fine, keep going.
You just came?
-You're going to wear this shirt?
-Yeah.
It's not your style.
The stylists didn't give you your outfits?
They gave me this.
Did they?
The flower looks nice.
Sinh!
You're late, man.
Are you joking? I'm the earliest.
Fine! Fine!
Wear some makeup first.
Oh my god!
Quan... Quan!
What now? Don't mess with me.
When will Tue show up?
I'll do what I promised.
Just let me do my job.
You...
You...
-Hello?
-Tue's fainted.
Sorry.
Dong, open the file.
Quan, what's going on?
It's time.
Medicine.
Go, Tim!
MAGICAL DANCE
Welcome back to the Magical Dance show.
After being introduced last week,
Tim and his mother, Tue,
have got a lot of support
from the audience.
That brings Tim and his mother motivation
to show you a surprise tonight.
Tim, Mom Tue, Tim, Mom Tue!
And now, please welcome
the performance that we're longing to see.
Tim, Mom Tue, Tim, Mom Tue!
Attention!
Too loud. Pay attention!

My son.
I love you.
Mom!
Mom!
Let's go to school, mommy!
Let's go to school, mommy!
School, mommy!
Mommy, school.
Alright, daddy gets it.
Just a second.
OK.
You should call me daddy Giang.
Don't call me mommy.
I still need to get a girlfriend.
Tue!
I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.
I'm kidding.
You got me.
Call me daddy Giang.
Don't call me mommy. Understand?
Get it?
