36. A MOVING REUNION
Look! A letter from grandma and grandpa!
I haven't heard from them for such a long time!
I can't wait to read it! I hope both of them are well!
They have been invited for three days at the Floral Exhibition in London!
I can't wait to see them!
When are they coming?
Here is their schedule.
"We will arrive in London on October 31st, at 8 AM."
It can't be! That was two days ago!
If they are here for three days, today it's their last day!
- I can't believe it! - So they are leaving today?
Yes, in the afternoon, from the Heathrow airport.
Then what happened?
I think I have heard something about a postmans' strike these days.
This is why the letter must have been delayed.
I must see them before they go back to France! Come!
Hello, Sabrina? Boris here! I have urgent news.
If only we could go faster!
I apologize.
I want to see grandma and grandpa so much!
- I don't want her to see them! - It will not happen!
Surely she would want to go back to France with them.
This means goodbye Flower in Seven Colours. We cannot allow it.
- This is not the race course! - Lydia is in the bus, go after her!
Yes, boss!
Get off the bus! Get off!
- Let me go! - Now it's not the time for reunions.
Get off the bus and keep searching for The Flower in Seven Colours! Quick!
I told you to let go of me!
Quiet!
Go away!
Follow the route I give you, or I'll shoot you in the head!
Yes!
This is a hijack!
What's happening?
Keep quiet!
- This is not a gangster movie! - Shut up, fat guy!
We have been informed that two men robbed a bank, stealing L 1 million!
They have robbed a bank!
You have heard the radio. Whoever tries something,
young or old, I will kill him!
I'm afraid, mommy!
- What do we do? - I don't know.
That's Buckingham Palace.
Grandpa and grandma should be there by now.
I wonder why Lydia isn't here yet.
It's odd. In the last letter, she said that she is making a stop in England.
What a pity! I wanted so much to see my little Lydia!
- I want to ask you something. - What?
My grandparents from France are here for a few days.
They are at the Buckingham Palace now. Can I get off the bus and see them?
I will be back right away!
- No way! - Please, be kind!
I just want to see that they are in good health. I give you my word!
- Shut up! - Don't insist, Lydia.
- I'd shut up if I were you. - Be quiet, Boris!
- What happened to her? - My wife has a heart condition.
We were going to the hospital.
Don't move!
She seems to be in pain. We can't let her like that! It's terrible!
You must let them go. The lady is sick and must go to the hospital!
Look at her suffering, mister!
I beg you! If my wife is not cared for, she will die!
We don't have enough places in the airplane anyway.
Please, let them all go. You can take me hostage instead.
OK, we will let you all free. Stop the bus!
Thank you, dear child!
Thank you. Good luck, little girl!
Don't worry about me. Be safe!
Here, have this!
Thank you!
I will call an ambulance right away. You wait here.
We will fly with an airplane to Dublin, in Ireland.
And you will come with us. Understood?
We are flying to Ireland?
- (?) - What?
I didn't say anything! Do you know if there are any flowers in Ireland?
Frankly, my concern right now is not about flowers.
Any chance to see my grandparents is now gone!
They will leave for home.
Lydia is still not here. We will not see her.
We missed her. Probably, she is searching for The Flower in Seven Colours.
The latest news are that the two robbers from the Central Bank
have taken hostage a girl and a 40 year old man.
Let's go!
- Watch them closely, OK? - Got it.
Stop shooting! Or else I will kill her!
It's your choice. Understood?
Hurry, Ken!
Let me come with you! Sabrina will be angry
if I don't tell her what Lydia is doing. Wait for me!
I said wait for me!
Sabrina will give me a good beating if I don't watch after Lydia!
Wait!
Do you think we're going to make it, Ken? You are bleeding heavily.
Ken, I don't know how to drive this thing!
- Now it's not the time to faint, Ken! - We will crash!
Flower! Flower! Flower!
Step aside!
It's now or never!
What is this pilot doing?!
- Well done, Lydia! You did it! - Let's tie them up, just in case!
If we land on the Heathrow airport, I will see grandpa and grandma!
I had knitted her a scarf, because the cold is coming.
I had brought her a breast pin.
- Is this yours? - Yes, thank you!
Now we will talk with some of the released hostages.
Are you sure that the name of the girl from the plane is Lydia?
Yes. We were set free because of her good heart.
Lydia! Lydia was taken hostage!
- Are you sure you know what you are doing? - Don't be afraid.
There's Heathrow airport!
Lydia to the tower! Are you hearing me? Over!
- This is the tower. - We are preparing to land.
We have neutralized the hijackers.
It's Lydia.
It's that airplane, with the gangsters and their loot.
The pilot is a girl named Lydia and she wants to land.
I'm happy that I'll get to see grandma and grandpa before they leave!
The spell is wearing out! I must land quickly!
If I don't, we might have problems!
Oh my God! What will happen to us? I don't know what to do!
Hey, pilot, are you crazy?!
- Lydia? - Help! I can't fly a plane!
Are you kidding?
- How will you land, Lydia? - Yes, tell us how!
This is terrible!
Help!
Lydia is in the plane! It's a disaster!
- Our Lydia? - That young man just told me so.
Lydia!
The horror!
Lydia, follow my instructions to the letter.
- I can't! It's impossible! - Please, allow me.
Lydia, it's Florent. Do you hear me?
- Mr Florent? - Calm down and listen to me.
You must do exactly as the air traffic controller tells you. Understood?
- Gather all your strength. - All right, I will try.
Lydia, first you must level the plane.
There is a clear runway right in front of you.
Choose a straight path and follow it, you understand?
It is crucial to do so!
Good. You will make it!
You must take off, Lydia!
Not again...
- A wheel is broken. - Then it's the end!
You must land on a wheel, Lydia.
We have no choice. You must keep your calm.
Come on, do it!
Well done, Lydia! You did something amazing!
My little Lydia!
Grandpa, grandma, I am so happy!
We were so afraid for you!
We thought we will never see you alive again!
- I don't know... - We understand, you are in shock.
- You did an excellent job! - Thanks to your encouragements.
- Take care and see you soon! - Good luck in finding The Flower!
Do you know where Mr Florent went?
No, I did not see him.
I wanted so much to thank him!
Boris!
You are safe and sound, thank Goodness!
Plant these seeds in remembrance of this day.
Thanks...
You idiot! Throw them away! What are those?
From those seeds grew beautiful sunflowers.
They stood testimony to Lydia's great joy of seeing her grandparents,
after she had risked her life for it.
In the language of flowers, the sunflower means "family happiness".
