1:29
a long time ago when I was a child my greatest fear was the darkness or more
1:36
precisely the silhouette that seemed to wait for me within it yet the mystery of
1:41
the darkness always managed to pull me in every night the enchanting yet eerie
1:48
scent of the night air wafting through my window captivated me while I eagerly
1:54
awaited the night a growing fear settled inside me as it approached it felt as if
2:00
something was constantly inviting me into the darkness but I was just a child
2:05
weak and powerless then I told myself "What does it matter anyway if I didn't
2:12
confront whatever was waiting for me in the darkness this ache in my stomach would never go away."
2:19
My grandpa was a police officer who later worked for the government he gave
2:24
me a whistle and a flashlight saying "You're the policeman of this house now
2:30
you'll protect your sister and this home." I never went anywhere without the whistle and flashlight my grandpa gave
2:38
me some nights the darkness would weigh so heavily on me that I couldn't move or
2:44
even speak when my body finally started to relax I'd blow the whistle with all
2:50
my strength sometimes my mom other times my dad would come to my room to calm me
2:57
down on nights when I couldn't blow the whistle my sister would suddenly appear
3:02
and save me so my only weapons against the darkness were the whistle and
3:08
flashlight from my grandpa as a child I didn't know what my parents actually did
3:14
for a living my dad worked for the government like my grandpa while my mom
3:19
and grandma were homemakers at least that's what we thought my little sister and I used to
3:26
gaze at the night sky together every evening dreaming of one day being like
3:32
our grandpa secretly reading his diaries revealed to us that he was a hero with
3:38
his piercing blue eyes he was a hidden protector we decided we had to be like
3:44
him we even formed a secret club of just the two of us calling ourselves two red
3:51
fox inspired by the foxes that wandered into our backyard at night my sister and
3:56
I so two red fox emerging from the darkness what kind of darkness would
4:03
dare stand against us speaking of Grandpa's diaries that's exactly where
4:08
our story begins turns out the whole family was part of this it felt like my
4:15
sister and I were born for it from now on my sister and I along with the rest
4:21
of our family will be sharing all the cases we've worked on out of respect for
4:27
the victims and to protect the safety of living witnesses we'll change names and
4:32
locations in these stories even if you only knew what was written in my grandpa's diaries it would be enough to
4:39
leave you stunned we must conceal our true faces and voices but the people our
4:45
family has helped will always recognize us to those individuals we have one
4:52
request when we met you face to face we said this if one day we cross paths in
4:58
the same country state city or even on the same street please walk past us
5:05
without making eye contact know that we ask this for your own safety we
5:10
understand your gratitude but we kindly ask you to express it with complete
5:15
discretion if you ever need our help again we'll find you now we're asking
5:22
you again if you recognize us please act with the same absolute secrecy this time
5:29
it's not just for your safety it's for our family's privacy as well please
5:35
refrain from mentioning our country state or city we're exhausted from moving state to
5:42
state city to city and even country to country there's one thing we want you to
5:48
know we didn't choose this life we were born into it we're not afraid we are
5:55
strong and always one step ahead if you're ready to be a part of this story
6:01
then join us
6:41
it's over time to get [Music]
6:48
up heat heat [Music]
7:14
[Music]
7:25
sometimes I wonder if grandpa's diaries should have remained a secret maybe I
7:31
shouldn't have read them or perhaps I should have kept my sister out of this entirely i don't know how far could we
7:38
have stayed from that secret or how long could we have run from that darkness i
7:44
truly don't know maybe we would have had ordinary lives maybe we would have been
7:49
happier because sometimes ignorance is [Music]
8:00
bliss darkness is about to fall the streets grow narrower as I move forward
8:07
but no matter how far I go I can't seem to reach the end of the street there is
8:13
something there i can see a dark silhouette in the distance but no matter
8:18
how much I approach I can't reach it the closer I get the more the streets close
8:24
in the more I advance the further the silhouette recedes into the shadows and
8:30
then I open my eyes but I can't move and I'm in my bed my eyes dart to the
8:37
flashlight but I can't reach for it i think of the whistle under my pillow but
8:42
I can't grab it they call it the nightmare but of course there is a
8:48
scientific explanation for it my mind wakes up but my body doesn't so leaving
8:53
me in a temporary state of paralysis i'm sure this has happened to some of you
8:59
whenever I couldn't wake myself my sister would rush to my side grab my
9:05
hand and say "I'm here don't be scared i'm right here my brother." Normally I
9:12
was the one who stayed awake keeping watch but if she saw me sleeping my
9:18
sister would take over the watch mom used to say we were just entertaining childish fantasies and scaring each
9:25
other but believe me she never slept either growing up in a family like ours
9:32
it always felt as though something might happen so we lived on edge this made us
9:37
sharp observers or maybe paranoid skeptics who knew how to survive the
9:43
fact that we weren't caught reading Grandpa's diaries was thanks to the way we'd been raised back then we didn't
9:50
have digital cameras to take pictures before moving something so we couldn't rely on photos to return items to their
9:57
exact place we had to commit everything to memory and with the little traps
10:03
Grandpa had set for us our task wasn't easy still we navigated those traps like
10:10
cunning foxes without disturbing them well only as much as Grandpa allowed
10:17
because in truth he wanted us to find those diaries however choosing to read
10:23
them and join this mission was entirely our decision it wasn't until much later
10:29
that I understood why Grandpa had given me both a whistle and a flashlight i
10:35
needed the flashlight to read the diaries in secret under the cover of darkness i felt like a cold war spy and
10:42
that's exactly how grandpa wanted me to feel he wanted me to teach myself at a
10:48
young age by entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting the house and my sister he instilled a sense of
10:55
duty in me and I in turn would teach my sister that's why he left her in my care
11:03
while sneaking through the diaries my sister and I became a team without
11:08
realizing it we were learning how to survive and how to become invisible
11:14
grandpa with his piercing blue eyes could light up even the darkest night he
11:19
was always kind to us telling stories while we sat at his feet we later
11:24
realized that the tales he shared were all true when we read his diaries it
11:30
turns out he was preparing us to be part of his story all along at one point my
11:36
parents had considered sending us to boarding school to keep us out of it but that would have been our undoing we
11:44
would have grown up in a rosy world only to be plunged into pitch black darkness
11:50
fortunately Grandma convinced them otherwise grandpa took a significant
11:55
risk by trusting to little kids to keep his secret apparently even he wasn't
12:01
entirely safe during that time he wanted us to be ready for anything because we
12:06
were his [Music]
12:15
grandchildren the other kids didn't like playing with us and there was a reason
12:20
for that when we played hide and seek we truly disappeared and no one could find
12:26
us they also knew not to mess with us because we would show up at their homes
12:31
to demand answers for instance one day a boy threw sand in my sister's eyes that
12:39
day I held her hand and marched to that boy's house to confront his mother i
12:45
asked her "What if my sister had gone blind?" The woman was so impressed by my
12:50
determination that she later told my mom "Your son came to our house because my
12:56
boy threw sand at his sister's eyes." He demanded to know "What if my sister had
13:02
gone blind how do you raise such a protective child?"
13:10
[Music] Yes I protect my sister because I
13:16
promised Grandpa I would later finding these memories recorded in Grandpa's
13:21
diaries filled me with pride his teachings had shaped us exactly as he
13:27
intended he lit a small fire within us a fire that kept us warm and illuminated
13:33
the darkness believe me the things written in those diaries were so dark
13:39
that only the fire grandpa kindled in us could shine through them before I tell
13:44
you everything I want to ask you a question if you were in my place and
13:50
could go back to the moment you first held those diaries would you still read them despite everything h answer this
13:58
question honestly after you read the diaries i don't regret it but I hope I
14:04
did the right thing if you're ready let's begin
14:10
[Music]
14:17
[Music]
14:38
[Music] hello ah [Music]
14:58
don't be afraid sometimes underground is safer than above ground sleep tight and
15:05
let the bed bugs [Music]
15:19
bite heat heat [Music]
16:11
i cannot not erase that evening from my memory because it was the turning point of my life in the cold and rainy weather
16:19
the sounds of children and birthday songs intertwined friends of my sister and
16:25
their families had gathered at our house for her birthday i enjoyed helping my mother with household chores so I had
16:32
also helped with the preparations for my sister's birthday she was excited because it was her day she had put on a
16:40
Navy Seal uniform transforming herself into a sailor her friends on the other
16:46
hand wore superhero costumes back then children often attended birthday parties
16:52
dressed as superheroes of course my sister's idea of a superhero was a little different
16:59
for her superhero costume she had chosen the Navy Seal uniform after all she was
17:06
my sister i on the other hand wore jeans and a flannel shirt my idea of a hero
17:13
was different too i had dressed like my grandfather
17:19
[Music]
17:34
i heard a murmur and footsteps outside our house then the doorbell rang
17:40
thankfully my sister's excitement turned into joy those arriving were her friends
17:46
and their families everyone gathered in the middle of the house while the adults
17:51
chatted among themselves the children played games however my eyes searched
17:58
for my grandfather he wasn't around even though it was his granddaughter's
18:04
birthday why was he late there is something I didn't understand then and
18:09
still don't understand now why do parents choose to raise their children in a world detached from reality i can
18:17
somewhat comprehend their reasoning but I don't want to accept it parents isolate their children in a rosy world
18:25
to protect their psychology from harm yet when those children grow up and face
18:31
the monsters in the real world they are unprepared the smallest adversity
18:36
crushes them and they retreat to their safe zones which are their homes
18:41
children who are social as kids become introverted as adults because they fear the monsters of life thankfully as you
18:49
might have guessed my sister and I grew up learning to be a soldier a policeman
18:55
a hunter a camper a sailor and most importantly a ghost this way we knew
19:02
very well when to flee from real monsters or when to fight them never
19:07
forget fear keeps you alive the names of heroes are only remembered after they
19:13
die let no one learn your name because except for rare exceptions most heroes
19:20
do little for the living if you want to be a hero you must first learn to live
19:26
and then to help others live even as a child I could tell when things weren't
19:32
right something was wrong my grandfather had missed his granddaughter's birthday
19:38
he was always a man who stood by his family no matter what he was also the
19:43
one who had bought my sister her Navy Seal uniform that evening my sister was
19:49
both cheerful and sad at every glimmer of light reflecting through the window
19:54
she thought her grandfather had arrived then she would lower her head disappointed because she wanted to show
20:02
him her uniform i went out onto the porch to wait for him why had it gotten
20:07
so cold i was freezing i wondered if my grandfather was cold too i couldn't take
20:15
my eyes off the end of the street he could arrive at any moment i hoped he
20:20
was okay and wouldn't delay any further the birthday cake was about to be cut
20:26
soon thankfully the adults were talking about their earnings their cars the
20:31
houses they lived in and their music systems this would buy my grandfather
20:36
some more time to arrive [Applause]
20:42
inside meaningless laughter and giggles echoed it seemed I was the only one
20:48
worried about my grandfather's absence i walked from the porch to the back door
20:53
to warm up however the people inside had turned off the lights for the birthday
20:58
cake since no light spilled out from the house it became even darker then as I
21:05
carefully walked back toward the front door I heard a sound coming from the
21:10
backyard I placed the whistle in my mouth and tiptoed toward the backyard i
21:16
saw a silhouette in the darkness it was just like the ones in my nightmares
21:22
however this time it wasn't calling me i figured the whistle wouldn't work this
21:27
time i thought about going back to the house to grab one of my grandfather's guns but they were all too heavy and I
21:35
was just a child the best I could do was shine my flashlight in its eyes and blow
21:41
the whistle to call for help despite the freezing weather I had taken off my
21:47
shoes i absolutely couldn't make any noise to be even quieter I started
21:53
walking on my tiptoes i approached the silhouette rumaging through the shed and
21:58
realized it was a man i began quietly moving toward the right corner of the
22:03
shed then I slowly stepped inside as I silently moved closer to the man I took
22:11
a deep breath to blow my whistle hard i pointed my flashlight at the man as I
22:17
tried to turn on my flashlight the man suddenly turned around
22:23
[Music]
22:40
and [Music]
23:00
Heat heat [Music]
23:18
previously on the diaries of grandpa in the cold and rainy weather the sounds of
23:24
children and birthday songs intertwined she had put on a Navy Seal
23:29
uniform transforming herself into a sailor her friends on the other hand
23:34
wore superhero costumes back then children often attended birthday parties
23:41
dressed as superheroes i heard a murmur and footsteps outside our house then the
23:47

23:52

23:58
around even though it was his granddaughter's birthday why was he late
24:03
even as a child I could tell when things weren't right something was wrong my
24:10
grandfather had missed his granddaughter's birthday he was always a man who stood by his family no matter
24:16
what he was also the one who had bought my sister her Navy Seal uniform that
24:22

if my grandfather was cold too i couldn't take my eyes off the end of the

24:51
further then as I carefully walked back toward the front door I heard a sound
24:57
coming from the backyard i placed the whistle in my mouth and tiptoed toward the backyard i saw a silhouette in the
25:05
darkness despite the freezing weather I had taken off my shoes i absolutely
25:11
couldn't make any noise to be even quieter I started walking on my tiptoes
25:17

25:25

25:31
closer to the man I took a deep breath to blow my whistle hard i pointed my
25:37
flashlight at the man as I tried to turn on my flashlight the man suddenly turned
25:43
around and [Music]
25:50
[Applause] [Music]
26:09
Oh hey
26:17
[Music]
26:33
i never lived a life where everything went right something was always going wrong even in the cases of people we
26:41
helped somehow misfortunes would find their way to us even when I thought I
26:46
had done everything right problems would emerge later I realized that when doing
26:52
something we should take each step as if we were facing the worst case scenario
26:58
because the rosy life we give to children is not real there are too many
27:03
variables in life even the best plan needs to be prepared for the worst case
27:09
i can almost hear you asking "What do you mean?" If you walk in a forest
27:15
thinking you'll never die a wild animal is bound to catch you but if you walk as
27:21
if you could die at any moment in a dark forest that's when you might see the sun
27:26
you must always walk as though a bear or a wolfpack could attack you at any time
27:32
if a wild animal saw you from a distance even the direction of the wind must be
27:37
calculated maybe that wild animal has already caught your scent don't run and die
27:43
tired save your strength for the fight and remember never approach a wild
27:49
animal especially a wild wolf from behind quietly either you'll learn your
27:55
greatest lesson or you'll pay for it with your life fortunately I escaped
28:01
with my greatest lesson [Laughter] [Music]
28:15
the lights for the birthday cake had been turned off perhaps this was my luck
28:21
or maybe it was a perfect reason for the biggest lesson of my life as I said even
28:27
though the weather was very cold i had taken off my shoes i couldn't make any
28:33
noise while approaching this man i had to be as silent as possible i had no
28:39
idea how a flashlight and a whistle could protect me from a bad man what I
28:44
was doing felt completely childish after all I was just a kid
28:50
otherwise this was pure stupidity i could have gone back and told my dad but
28:58
as I said I was just a kid if my grandfather found out what I was doing
29:03
he would definitely be angry I whispered to myself i couldn't see inside the shed
29:10
clearly but I could see the man searching for something inside even though he thought he was silent my
29:16
hearing was sharp with a whistle in my mouth and a flashlight in my hand I
29:22
began to move toward the man on my tiptoes with foolish courage i chose the
29:28
right side of the shed to approach because that side was hidden from his view when I entered i wished the weapons
29:34
weren't so heavy for a moment if they weren't I could have grabbed one and
29:40
been a hero unfortunately the weapons were too heavy for me at that time still
29:46
I was a fearless child or perhaps a child who was good at hiding his fear i
29:52
bent slightly and took a quiet step inside i needed to blow my whistle
29:58
loudly so everyone would hear it i took a deep breath i was sure the sound of my
30:04
whistle could be heard two blocks away i aimed my flashlight at the man like it
30:09
was a weapon just as I tried to turn on the flashlight the man suddenly turned
30:15
around
30:20
hen I told you never ever approach a wild wolf quietly from behind calculate
30:27
even the direction of the wind maybe before you saw it it already caught your
30:32
scent unfortunately I learned this the hard way when I felt the wind of the
30:38
bullet in my left ear I saw that death could find you at the most unexpected
30:43
moment i had confidence in myself but there was no need to be foolish i froze
30:50
and couldn't move the man froze too but he recovered faster than I did and took
30:56
a step toward me then he froze again but I still couldn't move i hadn't even
31:03
turned on my flashlight who was this man god did he shoot me i whispered to
31:11
myself i felt nothing time had stopped it seemed as if the bullet had grazed my
31:18
ear if this was death everything had happened so quickly so what
31:26
now finally a short time later a man entered the shed with a gun the person
31:34
who entered with a gun was my father he immediately turned on the lights the man
31:40
and I were still frozen then the man dropped his gun and suddenly hugged me
31:46
"what was this strange smell?" "This man smells strange," I said to my dad he
31:52
came closer to us and said just one thing "dad
31:58
[Music]
32:03
[Applause] [Music]
32:25
Heat heat [Music]
32:47
previously on the Diaries of Grandpa perhaps this was my luck or maybe it was
32:53
a perfect reason for the biggest lesson of my life
33:01
i told you never ever approach a wild wolf quietly from behind unfortunately I
33:08
learned this the hard way when I felt the wind of the bullet in my left ear i
33:13
saw that death could find you at the most unexpected moment i froze and couldn't move the man froze too but he
33:22
recovered faster than I did and took a step toward me then he froze again a
33:28
short time later a man entered the shed with a gun the person who entered with a
33:34
gun was my father he immediately turned on the lights the man and I were still
33:40
frozen then the man dropped his gun and suddenly hugged me "what was this
33:46
strange smell?" "This man smells strange," I said to my dad he came
33:52
closer to us and said just one thing dad
33:58
[Music]
34:07
[Applause] [Music]
34:25
[Applause]
34:31
[Music]
34:43
yes unfortunately it was my grandfather who had fired at me shocked by the event
34:49
I couldn't even recognize my own grandfather to be fair he wasn't in a
34:55
recognizable state i warned you don't sneak up on a wild wolf from behind
35:01
especially not when it's pitch dark my grandfather had aimed for the chest
35:06
intending to shoot an adult without missing the sound of me trying to turn on my flashlight made him think it was a
35:13
gun because of my short stature the bullet whizzed past my ear if I had been
35:20
an adult I would have been shot in the chest or stomach after hugging me
35:25
tightly my grandfather rushed into the house through the back door to change his clothes i couldn't make sense of it
35:33
what on earth was happening here my father quickly knelt beside me and
35:41
[Music]
35:54
said "You've grown up now and I need you to take on some responsibilities
36:00
in a moment we're going inside and your grandfather will knock on the door a little later the people in the house
36:07
will be curious about the gunshot they heard you're going to tell them it went off while you were playing with
36:12
grandpa's gun got it that's what we're going to say you didn't see grandpa do
36:18
you understand me i trust you when you go inside hug your mom and say "I'm
36:23
sorry mommy." Then kiss her when your grandfather comes in apologize to him too tell him you didn't know the gun was
36:31
loaded that you were curious and pulled the trigger grandpa won't be mad at you
36:36
got it i'll explain why
36:42
later i followed my father's instructions we went inside and I hugged
36:48
my mom and apologized then I kissed her meanwhile
36:53
my grandfather knocked on the front door and came in just like my dad said I
36:59
apologized to my grandfather and explained that I didn't know the gun was loaded that I was just curious my
37:07
grandfather as if he hadn't just shot at me hugged me and it's okay kiddo as long
37:14
as you're safe said "Then we continue the birthday party as if nothing had
37:21
happened but by then it was too late for everything what was my family hiding
37:27
from me why did we have to put on a show for others the strangest part of it all
37:33
was that even in the days following the party we carried on as if nothing had
37:38
happened throughout the party I kept watching my grandfather he played with
37:44
my sister chatted with the guests and even fed me cake he acted so
37:50
convincingly that I began to doubt myself even as I looked at my own reflection in the mirror was it all just
37:57
a dream but unfortunately it was all
38:05
real after the party ended my father and grandfather went into the study i
38:11
followed them to talk before the door closed I caught a glimpse of my
38:17
grandfather tossing a notebook or book at my father as I got closer to the door
38:22
I heard my grandfather say "This time I got so close i'm losing my mind you
38:30
won't believe what I found if they didn't have to hide it from people I'd go outside right now and tell the whole
38:37
city what I saw because they deserve to know that
38:43
in the midst of all this strangeness what was this about my grandfather was
38:49
my hero but he was just a cop if he was talking about a murder who didn't want
38:55
it known if it was a robbery who had robbed what what had he found and why
39:01
did he think everyone deserved to know and why did he smell so strange i know
39:07
the smell of blood when we went hunting the wild boar my father shot smelled
39:13
like this that's how I recognize it but this smell it was both like blood and
39:19
like rotten eggs or rather an intense sulfur smell my grandfather had either
39:25
been killing sewer rats or had just returned from hell there was no other
39:30
explanation for that awful smell [Music]
39:39
as I wrestled with these questions my grandmother quietly approached me it
39:44
seemed sneaking up on people was a family tradition she gestured for me to
39:49
come closer i went to her she stroked my face but her hands were ice cold and she
39:56
didn't speak we started heading toward the stairs then my grandfather called
40:03
out he asked "Are you eavesdropping?" I replied "No I was just
40:10
going downstairs with grandma." He shouted like "Get over here right now."
40:15
I took a step forward and he yelled "Hurry up." I reached out to hold my
40:21
grandmother's hand but she wasn't there behind me my fingers started to go numb
40:27
i guess this is what real fear feels like i turned toward my grandfather to
40:32
run but I only managed three steps before I fell I heard a sound like the
40:39
wind of a bullet but it was a whisper the last thing I heard before I hit the
40:45
ground was the whisper i've come for you close your
40:51
[Music] eyes
