Title:
Come Home; based on a true story
Category:
Best IDU Classic Film

Based partially on true events, Come Home is a dramatization focusing on the story of a couple illegally adopting, featuring family, action, and romance. This film was based off of true events.

Synopsis:

The film starts out in a bedroom. The bedroom contains a bed in the middle of the room, a laptop on the bed, and a girl who is in her mid-30s, whose name is Catherine, sitting on the bed. She is looking at a website. The website is one of the many love-finding sites provided online by one of the largest companies in RMG, Ezco Corp. She browses through the matches made on her profile and notices something different. She sees a man, whose profile had a "perfect"- tag match for Catherine. His name is Jones, and he was in his early 40?s. Catherine clicked on the ?Set Up A Date" button. He was a tall man, dark black hair, a solid muscle build, and had deep blue eyes. Catherine sent the request to him, and almost immediately he accepted. Their date, set in one of RMG?s most beautiful river, full of color from the amount of fish, was scheduled for that night. The two laugh as they ate, drank, and asked each other awkward questions. As they get to know each other, the sky turns to a beautiful sunset, and a cut to a silhouette of them dancing in the river, laughing, with a beautiful shot of the river and mountains behind them fills the entire screen with color. The wind was noticeable, and it created a gorgeous romantic scene with a beautiful modern piano melody in the background. The two go on four more dates, and they become more connected, more in love, and it climaxes when on the 12th date, and fall shifted to winter, Jones, asked Catherine out on a date. He takes them to the original hotel from the first date, and they sat at the same table at the same restaurant. The same music that brought viewers to tears on their first date played as the camera pans from a beautiful barren, snow-covered mountain range, past the frozen lake, onto the balcony where Catherine and Jones were sitting. Jones' gets down on his knees, and says the ever infamous line ?do you want to marry me?? and it ends with the camera going up as she says "yes," and they kiss. They then start to begin to talk about life together, and the scene closes with amazing, emotionally romantic music, and a fade to black.


The fade is interrupted by the sound of an alarm, and it is the next morning. You see a significant amount of dust in the windowsill to the right as the sun shines through. Catherine, slowly but surely, gets up and as she begins her morning activities, gets a call. It?s Jones? phone number, and a lady whose voice Catherine does not recognize is speaking. The lady says slowly with a shaking voice that the owner of the phone she is using just got in a car accident and is being transported to Snow Mountain Hospital. Jones wanted her to call this number and inform the person what happened. Catherine grabs her keys, and speeds through the roads, as the music keeps a steady beat with tension building, traffic and red lights make her frustrated that she can?t get to the hospital sooner. The tension is building through the music and ends with a cut as Catherine pulls into the parking lot of the hospital. She goes to the front counter and asks to see Jones and confronts a doctor. The doctor directed Catherine to Jones' room and informed Catherine, with a relief of tension from the music, that Jones will live, and she begins to cry of joy. Catherine enters slowly into the room where Jones lies, unconscious. A time-lapse shows Jones, going from surgery to surgery, while Catherine waits and sits there all throughout the nights, some crying, some too tired to cry anymore, and the scene fades to black. The cut shows a bright light, and Catherine, awoken by a bright light, wasn?t sure what the bright light was at first but quickly realized it was the sun. The room, had a hospital bed with Jones in it, a painting on their left of a bright red flower in a vase that was keeping Catherine's attention until a grunt snapped her attention over to Jones who was trying to sit up, coughing. She immediately hugged Jones, carefully, and the shot pans out the window as the two embrace. The scene cuts to a doctor's office, where Catherine, asks the damage done by the accident, and what Jones can and cannot do. The doctor slowly said that he could not have children due to the severity of the injury, but otherwise he is okay. She then goes back and tells Jones that he cannot bear children as he is becoming more aware, and his face does nothing but smile. The scene ends with them embracing as the sunset happens through the window of their room.


The cut leads the viewers back to Catherine?s house, where they both sit. They are both sitting with a lawyer and are wondering about places where they can adopt. They look at a couple of areas, including Skoden, The Provinces of Laurel, and The Free Stuff. All the options are possible, and discussing where they want to travel to adopt, but often found themselves at a dead end. You see Catherine reach for a newspaper, and on the second page is a picture of a child, from Bigtopia, that is up for adoption, but recently the government shut off adoption access to everyone except Bigtopian citizens. She handed the newspaper on the table and wondered about taking the idea to court as if that would do something. The lawyer immediately turns it down, saying it would be stupid to adopt from a place where it is impossible. It shows them looking online for what they can do, and they find nothing. Jones then insists that they look at something a little bit more possible. The scene ends with Catherine sitting in her room in the dark, Jones fast asleep, as she lays down, and falls asleep herself. Catherine wakes up the next morning and talks to her lawyer about what they can do legally, and he says nothing. Catherine, flustered, looks online again. A montage of her searching anything Jones and her can do ends when nothing turns up. When her husband has finally been fully healed, he wants to help Catherine, but he has focused the lawyer on getting them an actual adoptable child. The two are shown arguing as time goes on, which eventually ends up with a huge argument, which draws the two together and the last words are Jones whispering ?we?re going to get a child from Bitopia.?


While adopting was illegal, visiting, was not. Catherine and Jones scheduled a flight, and Jones finally convinced the lawyer to help them in getting a child. They planned a direct flight to Bigtopia, that was expected to arrive early next morning by plane. They go to the airport, get on a plane, and the sequence ends when the camera cuts to them landing in Bigotopa. Once they landed in Bigtopia, Jones and Catherine realize what an actual dump it is. The camera pans from an expensive, modern looking airport, to a dump of land in front of them with some of the buildings still having smoke radiating off of them. Soldiers were passing either side of Jones and Catherine, leading them to a coach bus. They got on and realized how impossible it would be to go anywhere without permission. The camera follows the bus through what seems like a war zone. However, the landscape quickly changes from destroyed land to an incredibly modern city. There were people everywhere, but all of them appeared to have dressed the same. People were going to different places and had the same expression and the same posture. Once they got off the bus and walked to the middle of an entrance to a large courtyard, there was a significantly tall and wide pole with Bigtopia?s flag on it. It put Catherine and Jones in awe. The camera then cuts to show the bus going through alleyways that seemed busy with city life. People with briefcases were everywhere, and at one point they saw kids, who seemed to be kindergarteners, who were lining up to go on a bus when one of the kids met, eye to eye, with Catherine. The kid waves and she began to wave back, but she gets interrupted by a teacher hurriedly leading the kid to a bus. They get to their extremely modern hotel and can't help but notice, excluding Jones and her, the twelve other tourists on the bus were the only guests in the hotel. Tons of staff seemed to be busy. Some of them had trays, others had towels and bedsheets, but all of them seemed to be doing it in a pattern where no tourist could tell where one of any of the staff were they headed. A representative for Bigtopia stepped out and interrupted all of their awe to the architecture and busyness of the place, and showed every one of them to their room. He told them they had the next week packed full of different, fun, activities which Jones did not like, but eventually agreed to because he realized there was no way to escape their schedule.


The start of the week was fun for Catherine and Jones. They ventured to a theme park and did all sorts of crazy rides, that seemed like they were bustling with people. There were all types of trips, and they began to enjoy and get comfortable in Bogtopia. The whole time though, they never realized that the only rides that started were the ones that they got on. They later went on to a museum that held the history of the Bigtopian settlers. It was an interactive adventure, but the more the past revealed itself, the darker the undertone became apparent. It seems that the historical Bigtopian citizens and government were trying to accomplish something extremely dark, but neither Catherine or Jones could figure out what their goal was. Then they went to a piece that shattered Catherine. It was an old newspaper article, barely visible, but the headline, apparently written; read ?Orphanage Fire, 122 dead, accident or on purpose?? The small text was only in fragments. It was putting the accusation on the government for burning down the orphanage. It showed government officials right outside the orphanage with flamethrowers, and it continued with a photo of paramedics removing the remains of a half-burnt child, one whose life, the article emphasized, is currently lost, because of the government. The rest of the night happened in a blur for Catherine. They had a nice dinner in a gorgeous underwater glass restaurant, but she couldn?t forget what she saw at the museum. The image of the half-burnt child running through her mind on repeat. The next morning, the staff delivered the national newspaper to each of their rooms. It was all happy news, about social equality, and contained articles that described their beautiful country, and how it was run by their great leader, and it made Catherine and Jones realize just how messed and skewed up Bigtopia is. They weren't even trying to hide the propaganda. She flipped through the newspaper, story after story of overly used propaganda, until the very last page. It was about a bus that had been turned over and left everyone dead. The coach happened to be full of kindergarten-aged kids and was in transit to an orphanage. The shocking part was the girl who was seen in the photo to memorate the kids who died, was the same child Catherine had waved to yesterday afternoon.


The next week seemed to become darker and darker for Catherine, while Jones was having fun, she never felt so alone. She then, on the third to last night, planned with Jones that they would sneak out, and get a smuggler to get them to the most massive orphanage in Bigtopia, steal a kid, and run away from the country. They designed it with a black market specialist who also knew how to smuggle people across borders and other places they found online. He agreed that he would hide them and get them and the child out of the country safely. They enjoyed their last day, which was nothing special. They went to the same amusement park, a different museum, and ate at the same underwater hotel, with the same 12 guests. Today, because it was their last day, they made sure their plot was in place. Both Catherine and Jones bought solid black cloths, cut out masks and taped orange tape over their wrists to let the smuggler know it was them. Unfortunately, they were unaware that the Government knew about this plan, and had set up an ambush in the orphanage for Jones and Catherine. The project would be to have them led into the room with the children, and as they grabbed a child, they would shoot the child. Each child Jones and Catherine tried to take; the army was ordered to shoot. They would blame the deaths of the children of Catherine and Jones and have them killed.


Catherine and Jones couldn't help but feel like 11:00 in the night was coming quickly. They were to await a message on the computer, stating that the hotel?s alarm has been disabled, and security had left. They both sat eagerly waiting for their equipment, and the computer changes to one of the Bigtopian General?s computer. He was awaiting the message to have his men set up in the orphanage. At 11:00 both the general and Catherine and Jones get their Email. The next sequence was that of the General of Bigtopia leading his ambushers into the orphanage, and at the same time of Jones and Catherine leaving their room, and rushing to the orphanage. A black van was seen pulling into a lot of the hotel, and at the same time, a line of military vehicles was pulling into the orphanage. As Jones and Catherine left the hotel, the military personnel entered the orphanage and began to set up. As Jones and Catherine snuck by the receptionist, the military started to creep by the kids sleeping in their beds and set up. Catherine and Jones both quickly got their bags into the vehicle, and at the same time, the last of the troops were seen unloading their cars. The music was calm, but building up. The van immediately pulled out of the hotel, and as soon as Catherine slammed her door shut, the last of the military pulled the last van door shut. The final team was just about set up in the orphanage. As the van that Catherine and Jones were in, pulled out the camera showed from above a vast modern city with no one but them on the street. Big electric billboards flew by them, and Catherine was watching, and as Catherine was watching, it switched to the General watching the same type of advertisements in his vehicle, which was leaving for the orphanage as well. A view of the top of the whole orphanage is now shown to the viewer. As the last of the military vehicles pulled away from the back, Catherine and Jones's car pulls into the front, and as Catherine and Jones's vehicle pull into the front, the General?s vehicle pulls into the back. Both the general, Jones and Catherine exit the car. As Catherine and Jones enter the front, the General opens the end of the truck and is seen going to the first operating station inside the orphanage, from a door in the back, as there were three of them total.


The orphanage was nothing Catherine and Jones expected. Jones was given a nonlethal towel to knock out one of the kids that they would sneak away with. They immediately upon entering noticed just how big the place was, and how many rooms there were. From their source of information, the best place to go would be the big room with the kids, since the beds were all bunk beds, it would be easy to hide among the rows of kids, and it would be easy not to get noticed by the security cameras. As Catherine and Jones sneak through the orphanage, they see photos along the stairwell wall, all of the kids, which made Catherine smile because all the kids seemed healthy, and all of them smiled. The images were black and white and appeared old. There were toys scattered everywhere, and Catherine and Jones had to try not to step on them. As Catherine drew closer to the stairwell with the pictures, she read one with a description and her smile got swept away, almost falling back in Jones' arms, and he had to hold her from making noise. Those kids were the same kids who perished in the fire from the museum. This orphanage was the same orphanage that burned down all those years ago. She got that out in a whisper to Jones. He convinced her to stay strong, and they went up the stairwell, wholly covered with pictures, of kids. They went upstairs and noticed four hallways. At the end of the fourth hall, Jones saw a blue door, with old red paint outlining the words ?Big Room.? He knew this was the room. He leads Catherine to the door, and with one breath, and silence, they open the door.


They, upon entrance, were now confronted with tons of rows of bunk beds. Each one had a face barely visible, but all of them were noticeable enough to where Catherine knew who they were; Kids. Tons and tons of kids. Each one carried a toy with them; each seemed sound asleep as they crept through the seemingly never-ending hallways of bunk beds. Crouched down, Catherine noticed a girl who had black, curly hair. She looked at Jones, and nodded twice, which meant that that was the child they would get. Jones sneaks up to the girl, and with a swift move, he puts the towel over her mouth. The kid raises an arm, but it falls, limp. Jones takes the girl gently out of bed, and Catherine grabs her toy she was sleeping with and her belongings in a little basket under her bed. They begin creeping to the door and make it about halfway until Catherine notices a green dot in the room on the wall. It was barely visible, and she was confused at first, but then realized what it was; a sniper?s scope. She quietly notified Jones, and he saw it, and he immediately knew what it was, but before he can do anything, the dot was now headed their way. Jones immediately knew someone recognized and is trying to ambush their plans, as they quickly stray down another aisle of bunk beds, and they notice more and more green dots. They were being closed in on by soldiers. Both Catherine and Jones saw more, and more green dots, each one scanning the room. Both in horror did the only thing they knew how to do, and that was to keep moving. This place is now maze that was designed not to be escapable. Then, out of nowhere, a green dot hits Catherine on the shoulder, and she, along with Jones, staring directly at her, freezes.


The green dot grew brighter, as they assumed the soldier was approaching. Jones, grabs a camera and attaches it to his vest, which the smuggler advised them to do if they think trouble would happen. The camera was small, but it was enough for what they needed. As soon as Jones put on the camera and turned it on, they both realized the green dot had moved on. With a silent sigh of relief, Jones and Catherine continued walking through the green dots, and the camera shows a visual of the room from the roof. The room had a total of 70 soldiers and two escapees. Catherine notices from light precisely what the soldiers were doing. Since all the beds were full, they were checking the bunk beds to make sure every kid was in one, and as she glances, she sees a soldier as he is about to land on the empty one containing the girl that Jones has in his arms. With a slight movement, all the dots turn red. At that point, the soldiers knew the suspects were here. The missing girl was spotted missing, and Catherine and Jones knew that if they got located, they would get shot on the spot, and with that in mind, they continued dodging and weaving lasers with little moments of almost being caught. They eventually work their way, to the big blue door, but there was a problem. A big, bright, red laser was now is pointed at the door. Jones and Catherine looked at each other, and knowing this could be the end, hugged, kissed, and took deep breaths. Jones slowly reached for the door handle and turned it silently. With one swift look at each other, Catherine and Jones embraced the love they had for another. All the soldier's lasers were moving, but they would always barely miss Catherine and Jones. After one final kiss, Jones; hand on the doorknob, and a big laser pointed at the door that would break all hell after they opened it, with a swift gesture, opened the door.


The red dot immediately seemed to open fire, and the military started shooting invisible bullets. Both Catherine and Jones could hear the bullets hitting things, but it wasn?t at them. Jones opened his eyes and made eye contact with a kid who was lying awake and then with a sudden quit sound, and a visible thud, closed his eyes, Jones thought that he went back to sleep, but he was wrong, and he realized it as well. The military wasn't shooting him, or Catherine, or the girl; they were killing the other kids. Catherine and Jones stood, doorway open, as one by one, little sounds, a kid at a time, got assassinated. The kid Jones was looking at, eventually fell off of the bunk. Catherine did nothing but cry, and Jones, in fear thought they were caught. Catherine stood up, in tears, somehow, through their bravery, and immediately the shots stopped, and a bright light blinded both Catherine and Jones. The military had caught them. Jones, holding the girl, felt a thump in his hands, looked down, and saw the child they were carrying, was now covered in blood. Catherine and Jones immediately ran, but as they did, one by one, a child was shot. They heard the thumps; kids fell out of their bunk beds from room to room. Jones and Catherine ran down the stairs, not looking back and ran into a smaller place, and grabbed a child, and ran to the front of the orphanage; the problem, though, was that the military had locked the door.


The next moments happened in a blur, Jones broke a window next to the door, and another bright flash blinded both of them. It was a massive camera, taking a picture of both of them, with Jones covered in blood, and Catherine, crying with the child in her hand. Catherine, through her tears, had never felt so selfish, killing all these kids so that she could "adopt" one. A stomp of boots walked over, and a face of one recognizable to Catherine and Jones was seen; it was the General from the newspaper article from yesterday morning. He started to say something but was interrupted. He looked down, saw blood rushing out of his stomach, and collapsed. Behind him; was the smuggler. He yelled for them to get in the car, and Jones and Catherine in tears, out of fear, ran in the car. Immediately military vehicles started following them, and Catherine, through tears, was calming the child down. Jones was helping the smuggler get away from the Military. With the camera following the chase from an above view, through several street blocks, they drove, but the never lost the Military vehicles. The smuggler eventually told Jones to grab his bag, get the giant metal plate out of it, and throw it at the Military vehicle. The metal plate, as he threw it, began to release spikes, and went in between the military cars following in two lines, and blew out each of their tires, and one by one crashed. They got away, and Jones couldn?t help, feeling so fatigued, that he closed his eyes, and with an exhaling breath the scene closed to black, with the intense music throughout the last scenes dying down to a calm, and fade to silence.


Catherine and Jones woke up to a loud sound and a bright light. Jones immediately awoke and took immediate notice of his clothes; they changed. He was wearing jeans and a T-Shirt. They changed Catherine's clothes as well. She was wearing a touristy dress, with yellow flowers with a solid navy blue color background. She awoke shortly after, and when she did, she awoke to herself screaming. Jones ran over, and she began to cry., telling him that it was all their fault, and from another room, a familiar figure entered. It was the smuggler. He was happy to see they were doing well and told them that he had their clothes changed and that they were on a plane back to RMG. Hw informed them that the kid that Catherine took was asleep in a separate bed, with his basket and favorite toy. When asked where he got that, the smuggler said he had some help from friends. He the smuggler revealed his name, and it was Isakov. Isakov explained that they were meant to go into the orphanage, everything that happened last night, was supposed to happen. He later held up the camera Jones had turned on. Isakov told them that they were to release it to the world wide web once they got home. And he also explained one thing; none of the military personnel killed the kids. They were all shot with tranquilizers, which made them fall asleep. The soldiers were only ordered to kill the children Jones and Catherine grabbed, and the sedatives were to make Catherine and Jones feel guilt so they could frame them, and have them killed. The kids falling off their bunks were to just scare them into not leaving so they could catch them. Isakov pointed towards the room with the sleeping boy; the one they got was named Jamie, and he was three years old. He was lucky he survived, but he has a happy, new family Isakov explained. Catherine and Jones sighed a sigh of relief but got pissed he didn't inform them of the whole situation. Catherine later piped up that the soldiers had to make kids fall asleep, to make them seem dead, to find Catherine and Jones, and how ridiculous that sounded. She was sure the military of all things needed nothing but a camera to locate them. Isakov explained it was a last minute decision by the general, and he was thankful he made it. Isakov had planned for this, and in doing so, as soon as Catherine and Jones entered the orphanage he jammed every single camera, night vision goggle, and security camera of the military and orphanage. He explained to them he knew they were coming a long time before they did. Isakov told the lawyer they hired got in touch with him before they were coming. He explained that he made it practically impossible for them to get in touch with anyone else, in fear of someone backstabbing them. They knew about the whole trip, how touched Catherine would be by the article in the museum and knew you wouldn?t leave without her getting an orphan. Catherine and Jones expressed relief, but resentment to what Isakov said. With some arguing and disagreement, Catherine and Jones eventually agreed to upload the footage to the web through an anonymous account. This video would pressure an entire reformation of Bigtopia?s government, and get way bigger and stronger forums of democracy involved. In fact, he would engage no other than the International Democratic Union. Both Jones and Catherine agreed, with reluctance, and anger, but they are glad they are safe.


The plane was expected to land in half an hour, so they grabbed breakfast, while Jones and Catherine ate, Jamie woke up. Catherine sat Jamie on her lap, and they ate breakfast on the plane, and smiles, slowly but surely arose around. Before the plane landed, Isakov gave the camera and a USB cord to Jones. Jones took it and hugged Isakov thanking him for everything, with Catherine shortly following. Isakov also gave them RMG adoption papers, already filled out, which they would just hand them in, and then they would have a son. They all looked out the window and strapped in as they began decently, and looked at huge mountains, and forests, and what was most likely a basket weaving village, but most of all, it was home.

Historical Context:
This film is based on the time when parents would steal from orphanages that were blocked in countries. In Bigtopia's case, overpopulation with blocked adoption, it was not uncommon for kids to be smuggled across borders, so they had a chance for adoption. This could have been done commercially or by individuals. This story happened to be the most famous, and a film was made about it. The story did, in fact, cause adoption to be made legal due to the scrutiny the Government of Bigtopia was experiencing.
