00:00:01I'm Leonie, and I'm seven. The whole town of Oakhaven thinks I'm cursed. I haven't eaten all day. I just
00:00:11stared at the black bread in my aunt's hand, and she whipped me bloody with a thorny vine.
00:00:26What are you looking at? I gave you a soup last, and you still steal food! You! Good-for-nothing
00:00:32leech!
00:00:34Aunt Grace slammed the heavy farm tool right onto me. Stop playing dead! If you don't finish before sunset, forget
00:00:41about dinner!
00:00:42My hands are covered in cuts, and the broken blisters sting interribly. But I have to work, or I'll be
00:00:50thrown out into the wild.
00:00:53Under the scorching sun, I starved and dragged myself to the field. Passing villagers just pointed and whispered.
00:01:00They said Aunt Grace kept all my dad's military pension from the war, but they only pitied me in secret.
00:01:06No one dared to help.
00:01:07Look at the poor thing. Grace is an absolute monster. She spreads rumors that Leonie is the cursed child who
00:01:14brought the dust storms. Good lord, it breaks my heart.
00:01:18Just then, Mrs. Hannon showed up. She's the meanest, greediest woman in town.
00:01:24Oh, look at this! She just snatched people's seeds.
00:01:27Dirt in Oak Haven is growing its own seeds! Since you don't want them, I'll take them.
00:01:31Ada! You wicked hag! Stealing our seeds? Have you no shame? You dropped them them yourself, and now you're framing
00:01:40me?
00:01:40Mrs. Hannon raised her tool looking so fierce. She scared them away. Mrs. Hanson looked like a wicked witch. Everyone
00:01:48was scared of her.
00:01:49Back off! Don't even think about stealing my seeds!
00:01:51And so was I. I'm sorry, Mrs. Hanson. I'll move over there.
00:01:56But I couldn't run. I had to finish Aunt Grace's work.
00:02:02The sun felt like it was burning a hole in my head. I couldn't hold on anymore.
00:02:08Everything went black, and I crashed into the mud.
00:02:16Hey! You wretched girl!
00:02:29Cold water trickled down my cracked lips. I thought I'd die in that dry mud.
00:02:35But the one who saved me was the meanest, scariest woman in town, Mrs. Hanson.
00:02:50Ah!
00:02:57It was so big!
00:02:58It's so big.
00:02:59I can't do speaking out today.
00:03:00Is that good?
00:03:00I'm so sorry!
00:03:01What is it?
00:03:01I can't do it.
00:03:01Is that too bad?
00:03:03I can't do it.
00:03:05I can do it.
00:03:06A little bit less.
00:03:07The sun didn't go away.
00:03:09It was green, but it's a fun place.
00:03:09I can do it.
00:03:10Mrs. Hanson, you dropped your bread.
00:03:13It fell on the ground. I don't want it. It's yours now.
00:03:17I knew she left it just to save me.
00:03:20I held on to that muddy bread tight and prayed,
00:03:22kind people like Mrs. Hanson deserve a reward from God.
00:03:26Right then, Mrs. Hanson accidentally kicked a pile of dead roots,
00:03:30and hidden inside was a massive, golden, dripping wild honeycomb.
00:03:40Mrs. Hanson took her lucky find home.
00:03:43She wanted to save the precious honey for her sick oldest son.
00:03:48Mother, this is too precious.
00:03:50You work so hard every day, you should have it.
00:03:55Are you trying to infuriate me?
00:03:57Arthur can barely breathe from his coughing.
00:04:00Do you want him to meet his mather early?
00:04:03Miss Ella, her second daughter-in-law, is super selfish.
00:04:08Her eyes lit up when she saw the honey, just like a hungry wolf.
00:04:16Arthur's minor lungs are already rotting.
00:04:18It's a waste to give it to him.
00:04:19I'm carrying your only grandson.
00:04:21He needs the nutrition way more.
00:04:27Stop!
00:04:28Mrs. Hanson and Miss Martha stormed out in a rage.
00:04:32But right as she crossed the threshold,
00:04:34Mrs. Hanson tripped over a dark figure in the corner.
00:04:38Curled up in the freezing corner was a ragged, bloody figure.
00:04:43It was me.
00:04:44My God, Leoneni!
00:04:46Why are you covered in blood out here?
00:04:51Since I didn't finish the work,
00:04:53my aunt whipped me bloody and threw me out.
00:04:56Turns out, under all that yelling,
00:04:58Mrs. Hanson's had the only kind heart in town.
00:05:02Grace is a wicked, heartless witch!
00:05:05What a bastard!
00:05:09Why did you come to my house anyway?
00:05:12Out of all the houses in the village,
00:05:13you were I and my honey, weren't you?
00:05:15No, Mrs. Hanson.
00:05:17It's because I know you're a good person.
00:05:26Don't be scared, Leonie.
00:05:28Stay with us tonight and I'll take you back in the morning.
00:05:30Oh my gosh!
00:05:31Mrs. Martha let me stay?
00:05:33Is this real?
00:05:34No!
00:05:35I don't agree!
00:05:36Get out!
00:05:37But Miss Ella called me a free loner.
00:05:40Grabbed me by the neck and tried to throw me out to the wolves.
00:05:43It hurts!
00:05:44Mrs. Hanson, help me!
00:05:46Please don't throw me out!
00:05:48I'll do anything!
00:05:50I struggled in despair, wanting so badly to live.
00:05:53Right then, a massive 200-pound wild boar charged like crazy
00:05:58and smashed itself to death against the courtyard wall.
00:06:06Because of the famine, everyone in town only ever ate hard black bread,
00:06:11but tonight we had delicious roast pork.
00:06:14Sweetness Martha gave me the best piece of meat.
00:06:16I didn't want to eat it.
00:06:17I wanted to repay Mrs. Hanson for keeping me warm.
00:06:21But just as she went to take her first bite,
00:06:25something weird happened.
00:06:27Get lost, you begging little stray!
00:06:29You don't belong here!
00:06:30Hmm.
00:06:40Ah!
00:06:42Ah!
00:06:43Ah!
00:06:44Ah!
00:06:44Ah!
00:06:44Ah!
00:06:44Ah!
00:06:46Miss Ella, I'm sorry.
00:06:49I won't eat it.
00:06:50You can have it all.
00:06:51I don't know why,
00:06:52but Miss Ella bites into a bone and knocks her teeth out.
00:06:56Her mouth is full of blood.
00:06:58Ah!
00:06:59Miss Ella is furious she didn't get to eat the meat,
00:07:01but there's nothing she can do.
00:07:03She just leaves in a rage.
00:07:16It's morning, Miss Martha takes me home.
00:07:19As soon as we reach the gate,
00:07:21I see Aunt Grace throwing all my things out.
00:07:23She's kicking me out right in front of all the neighbors.
00:07:25Throw all this trash out!
00:07:26Don't bring bad luck into our house!
00:07:28She says my dad is dead and the military won't send any more subsidies.
00:07:41Auntie, please don't kick me out!
00:07:43I'll work harder!
00:07:45I won't eat!
00:07:46I won't sleep!
00:07:46I'm begging you!
00:07:49Get lost!
00:07:50You cursed brat!
00:07:51You killed your own father!
00:07:53Stay away from us!
00:07:55Aunt Grace wants to kick me out.
00:07:57I cry and hug her leg,
00:07:59terrified that dad won't find me when he comes back.
00:08:02She heartlessly kicks me away,
00:08:04grabs a thorny stick,
00:08:05and whips me hard on the back.
00:08:07I run out of the house into the cornfield,
00:08:09and I run and run.
00:08:16Miss Martha rushes over to protect,
00:08:18but Aunt Grace violently shoves her away.
00:08:20Back off!
00:08:21Mind your own business!
00:08:37Take this dead man's trash and go straight to hell!
00:08:45Dad!
00:08:46Dad!
00:08:47Even with the glass cutting my fingers and blood pouring out,
00:08:51I desperately gather the pieces.
00:08:53I have to put the photo back together.
00:08:58Stop it!
00:09:01Stop it!
00:09:02A thunderous roar really comes from the back of the crowd.
00:09:12Stop it!
00:09:13The thunderous roar shocks everyone.
00:09:17The burly Sheriff Harry violently shoves my aunt away.
00:09:21He drops to one knee in the mud and lifts my bloody body.
00:09:25Mr. Carter, tell me my dad isn't dead.
00:09:27They're just lying to me, right?
00:09:29I beg him in despair,
00:09:31but looking at my mangled hands,
00:09:33Mr. Carter painfully closes his eyes.
00:09:36In that moment,
00:09:37the last bit of hope in my heart
00:09:39completely dies.
00:09:41Dad really isn't coming back.
00:09:46Leone is the child of a hero!
00:09:49How dare you treat her like this!
00:09:50She's a jinx.
00:09:51I won't let her pass her bad luck to my son.
00:09:54She's getting out of my house today.
00:09:56Aunt Grace doesn't just want to kick me out.
00:09:59She wants to steal the farm and house Dad left me.
00:10:02And my own Uncle Thomas
00:10:04just guiltily hides behind his wife,
00:10:06not even daring to look at me.
00:10:08My wife is right.
00:10:10We have a son to raise, too.
00:10:11Mr. Carter takes off his hat
00:10:14and humbly begs the villagers
00:10:16to each chip in a little food
00:10:17to raise me together.
00:10:19But those neighbors,
00:10:21who once received favors from my dad,
00:10:24all make excuses about having no extra food.
00:10:27They even suggest sending me
00:10:29to the workhouse in the city.
00:10:31In that moment,
00:10:32I feel like a dirty rag
00:10:34tossed away by the world.
00:10:36With red eyes,
00:10:37Mr. Carter drags me toward his carriage.
00:10:39I kick frantically,
00:10:42digging my nails deep into the dirt,
00:10:44my face covered in blood and tears.
00:10:46I don't want to go to the workhouse!
00:10:47I want to wait for Dad right here!
00:10:50Please don't send me away!
00:10:53Just as I'm about to be stuffed into the carriage,
00:10:56I see a skinny but determined figure
00:10:58burst through the crowd.
00:11:00It's Miss Martha.
00:11:01Enough!
00:11:03Nobody is taking her away!
00:11:04I'm going to adopt Leonie!
00:11:06She snatches me back,
00:11:08ignoring everything else,
00:11:10and holds me tight in her warm embrace.
00:11:18I hide in Miss Martha's warm arms
00:11:20like a drowning cat.
00:11:22Even though Mr. Carter sighs
00:11:24and says the workhouse will feed me,
00:11:26I still grip Miss Martha's clothes tightly.
00:11:29She's the last bit of light I can hold onto.
00:11:34Miss Martha,
00:11:36I'll be good.
00:11:37I'll eat less and work more from now on.
00:11:40I promise to treat Leonie like my own child.
00:11:43As long as I have a bite to eat,
00:11:45she won't starve!
00:11:46How bizarre!
00:11:47Someone actually wants to raise this jinx.
00:11:50Martha,
00:11:50I suggest you prepare a coffin
00:11:52for your sick husband first.
00:11:53Right then,
00:11:54Miss Ella,
00:11:55heavily pregnant,
00:11:56suddenly stormed out.
00:11:58Martha!
00:11:58Are you insane?
00:12:00She's just a freeloading jinx.
00:12:03Where on earth
00:12:03do we have the money
00:12:04to raise a stray?
00:12:05Everyone is saying
00:12:07Mrs. Hanson will kick me out.
00:12:09Martha,
00:12:09your family has no extra money
00:12:11or food either.
00:12:12Your mother-in-law
00:12:13will probably just throw her out again tomorrow.
00:12:17You gutter rats!
00:12:19Is talking trash behind people's backs
00:12:22all you're good for in this life?
00:12:23Mrs. Hanson shows up
00:12:25with a dark scowl.
00:12:26Everyone expects her
00:12:27to throw me back into the wild.
00:12:29But the next second,
00:12:31a crisp slap echoes out
00:12:32and the whole yard
00:12:34falls dead silent.
00:12:42You idiot!
00:12:44Don't think being pregnant
00:12:45makes you untouchable.
00:12:46How dare you come out here
00:12:47spewing lies!
00:12:49Now,
00:12:49get your ass back home now!
00:12:52Now!
00:12:58Taking Leonie in
00:13:00was my call.
00:13:01Anyone else got something to say?
00:13:03I'll shatter your bones
00:13:05with this pole!
00:13:07Mrs. Hanson's words
00:13:09hit like a bombshell.
00:13:11She's actually taking me.
00:13:12Turns out,
00:13:13even in this freezing world,
00:13:15someone is willing
00:13:16to face the backlash
00:13:17for a jinx like me.
00:13:19Ada,
00:13:20you've been a cheap shooter
00:13:21your whole life.
00:13:22You hoard rusty nails.
00:13:24But now you're raising a stray?
00:13:26They're dirt poor.
00:13:28Bet they'll trade her
00:13:29for rations?
00:13:30She's a hero's kid!
00:13:31You'll rot in jail for this!
00:13:33Cowards!
00:13:34When Officer Harry
00:13:35begged for food,
00:13:36it was crickets.
00:13:37Now I step up,
00:13:38and suddenly you've
00:13:39all got an opinion?
00:13:40You want her?
00:13:41Take her!
00:13:42No?
00:13:42Then shut your mouths!
00:13:46Listen up, Leonie.
00:13:47You'll be cold,
00:13:48hungry,
00:13:49and working your fingers
00:13:50to the bone.
00:13:51Can you handle that?
00:13:53I can!
00:13:54I'll wash clothes,
00:13:56gather wood,
00:13:56and take care of Mr. Arthur.
00:13:58When I'm older,
00:13:59I swear I'll make it up to you.
00:14:01All right, then.
00:14:02From now on,
00:14:03I'm your grandma,
00:14:04and Martha is your mom.
00:14:07Grandma!
00:14:10Mom!
00:14:13Not so fast!
00:14:14You want the kid?
00:14:16You owe me rations
00:14:17for my trouble!
00:14:18Are you crazy, Grace?
00:14:19You just refused
00:14:21to take her!
00:14:21You can't shake Ada
00:14:22down for food now!
00:14:23The orphanage is free!
00:14:25But a private adoption?
00:14:29That's a deal.
00:14:30Five pounds of premium flour.
00:14:32Not an ounce less,
00:14:33or she stays put.
00:14:43I was terrified
00:14:44Mrs. Hanson would back out.
00:14:46Five pounds of flour
00:14:47just for me?
00:14:48That's a whole month's
00:14:49worth of bread
00:14:49for a family.
00:14:50Fine!
00:14:51Deal!
00:14:51What?
00:14:53Ada actually agreed?
00:14:55We're writing a contract
00:14:56to cut all ties
00:14:57right here.
00:14:58From this moment on,
00:15:00Leon has nothing to do
00:15:01with you two animals.
00:15:02Dead or alive,
00:15:03we go our separate ways.
00:15:06Fine by me!
00:15:07Who wants this jinx anyway?
00:15:09Thomas,
00:15:09go write up the contract!
00:15:14Just as Aunt Grace
00:15:15smugly carries
00:15:16the flour inside,
00:15:18she trips over nothing.
00:15:20The flour she traded me for
00:15:22is completely blown away
00:15:24by the wind.
00:15:49See that?
00:15:50God is watching!
00:15:52Leonie, let's go home!
00:15:54For the first time,
00:15:55the cramped cabin
00:15:57feels warm from the fire.
00:15:59Mrs. Hanson curses
00:16:00the whole time,
00:16:01calling the thick wool blanket
00:16:03Miss Martha spent
00:16:04three months knitting
00:16:05a piece of junk,
00:16:06but she tosses it
00:16:07right into my arms.
00:16:08This junk is stiff
00:16:09and stinky!
00:16:10Hurry up and make a bed
00:16:11for this unlucky brat
00:16:12and don't get my floor dirty!
00:16:16Grandma Ada calls
00:16:18that beautiful wool blanket
00:16:19junk,
00:16:20but she has sick
00:16:22Mr. Arthur
00:16:22tuck me in with it.
00:16:24In this moment,
00:16:25I finally have a home.
00:16:27Thank you, Grandma.
00:16:30Thank you, Mom.
00:16:33Thank you, Mr. Arthur.
00:16:36Mr. Arthur tells me
00:16:37to call him Dad.
00:16:38He says until my real dad
00:16:40comes back,
00:16:41he'll protect me
00:16:41with his life.
00:16:42I'm finally not
00:16:43an unwanted kid anymore.
00:16:50Good Lord!
00:16:53How could that
00:16:54wicked woman do this?
00:16:55Martha,
00:16:56go sell my wool coat.
00:16:59Use the money
00:16:59to build up her strength.
00:17:01To buy me meat.
00:17:02Dad even wants
00:17:03to sell his winter coat.
00:17:05Grandma slams the table
00:17:06and stops him,
00:17:07because without it,
00:17:08Dad won't survive
00:17:09the winter.
00:17:09Mom cries and says,
00:17:11the doctor told them
00:17:12a natural hot spring
00:17:13could turn Dad's health around.
00:17:15But in Oak Haven,
00:17:16where it hasn't rained
00:17:17in three years,
00:17:19that's impossible.
00:17:20Don't be scared, Dad.
00:17:21I'll pray to the angels.
00:17:22You're going to get better.
00:17:26I pray to the angels
00:17:28with all my heart.
00:17:29I'd give up ten years
00:17:31of my life
00:17:31for Dad's health.
00:17:32I run to the back hill,
00:17:34wanting to do more chores
00:17:36for the family.
00:17:37With a loud pop,
00:17:38I easily pull a deep-rooted stump
00:17:41right out of the ground.
00:17:43Then,
00:17:43a blast of hot,
00:17:45wet steam
00:17:46shoots into the sky
00:17:48like a giant dragon.
00:17:49Grandma!
00:17:50Mom!
00:17:51Come out quick!
00:17:52I broke the ground!
00:17:55Hearing my scream,
00:17:57Grandma Ad
00:17:58rushes over first.
00:17:59I think I broke the earth
00:18:01and caused a huge disaster.
00:18:03But when she touches
00:18:05the boiling water
00:18:06with trembling hands,
00:18:07she laughs
00:18:08and cries
00:18:10like a kid.
00:18:11It's hot!
00:18:12The water is hot!
00:18:13It's a natural hot spring!
00:18:28It's a natural hot spring!
00:18:37A hot spring!
00:18:38It's a real hot spring!
00:18:41Arthur!
00:18:43My son!
00:18:44The doctor said
00:18:45a hot spring
00:18:46could save your lungs!
00:18:47You're saved!
00:18:49Mom hugs me tight
00:18:50and kisses my face
00:18:51in excitement.
00:18:52She says
00:18:53I'm an angel
00:18:54sent by God.
00:18:55It turns out
00:18:56I'm not unwanted trash.
00:18:57I can be someone's salvation too.
00:19:01But when I happily
00:19:02return to the yard,
00:19:04I'm greeted
00:19:05by two icy faces.
00:19:07Miss Ella
00:19:07and Aunt Grace
00:19:08are whispering together.
00:19:10Their glares
00:19:11pierce my heart
00:19:12like poisoned swords.
00:19:14What rotten luck!
00:19:16We're already too poor to eat
00:19:17and now we have to
00:19:18share food with her!
00:19:19Ella,
00:19:20I'm telling you,
00:19:21stay away from them.
00:19:22That Leone brings
00:19:23nothing but bad luck.
00:19:30But remembering bad
00:19:32spent all his money
00:19:33on medicine.
00:19:34I can't bear to see
00:19:36this family tear itself
00:19:37apart over me.
00:19:38Miss Ella,
00:19:39please don't be mad.
00:19:41I won't fight for anything.
00:19:43I'll help take care
00:19:44of the baby
00:19:45and I won't eat
00:19:46the good food.
00:19:49Liar!
00:19:50Are you gonna let her
00:19:51pass her bad luck
00:19:52to your son?
00:19:53Her curse will kill
00:19:54your son!
00:19:56Pete!
00:20:03Get lost!
00:20:04Don't touch me
00:20:05with your dirty hands!
00:20:16Aunt Grace screams
00:20:18that I'm a monster
00:20:19who kills families,
00:20:21pushing Miss Ella
00:20:22to attack me.
00:20:23Just as I try
00:20:24to beg again,
00:20:25Ella winds up
00:20:26and slaps me
00:20:27hard across the face.
00:20:32My face burns
00:20:33like it's on fire
00:20:34but I don't cry.
00:20:36Grandma Ada
00:20:37told me
00:20:38if I'm bullied
00:20:39and oppressed
00:20:40I have to fight back.
00:20:41Leone,
00:20:42you are a child
00:20:43of this house.
00:20:45When you get bullied
00:20:45you fight back.
00:20:47Grandma helps me
00:20:48raise my hand
00:20:49and aim at
00:20:50Aunt Grace
00:20:50who's waiting
00:20:52for a laugh.
00:20:52The stone
00:20:53hits her shoulder
00:20:54dead end.
00:20:55Ouch!
00:20:55My shoulder's hurt!
00:20:57Help!
00:20:57I watch Aunt Grace
00:20:59run away.
00:21:00She used to seem
00:21:01like a giant fence
00:21:02to me
00:21:03but now
00:21:03she looks like
00:21:04a panicked grey rat
00:21:06scurrying around.
00:21:07Grandma Ada
00:21:08is like a massive tree
00:21:10shielding me
00:21:11from the storm.
00:21:12She publicly announces
00:21:13she's cutting ties
00:21:14with Miss Ella.
00:21:15Leone is my chosen
00:21:16granddaughter!
00:21:17She's no jinx!
00:21:18Mother!
00:21:19Your real grandson
00:21:20is right here!
00:21:21Arthur is a cripple
00:21:22and Martha
00:21:22can't have kids!
00:21:23If you insist
00:21:24on keeping this jinx
00:21:25we're cutting ties.
00:21:26Fine, I agree.
00:21:28Mom and Dad
00:21:29pull Grandma's sleeves
00:21:30begging her
00:21:31not to act rashly
00:21:33but she firmly refuses.
00:21:35As long as
00:21:36this toxic woman
00:21:37Ella is around
00:21:39our family
00:21:40will never have
00:21:41a normal life!
00:21:42I'm kicking
00:21:43this wicked woman
00:21:44out today!
00:21:46Cutting ties
00:21:47is no big deal
00:21:48but get the best house
00:21:50and the biggest
00:21:51part of the farm!
00:21:52Done!
00:21:54You can have it!
00:21:55Just get out
00:21:57of my sight!
00:21:58Ella?
00:22:00Don't hesitate!
00:22:02Cut ties with them!
00:22:03And your husband's
00:22:04money will be
00:22:05all yours!
00:22:06Do you want
00:22:07Leonise
00:22:08to bring bad luck
00:22:09to you
00:22:10and your baby?
00:22:11Don't forget
00:22:13her unlucky dad
00:22:14just died
00:22:15in the war!
00:22:16My dad isn't dead!
00:22:18He's coming back!
00:22:20He'll come back
00:22:21and make you pay!
00:22:22Stop dreaming!
00:22:24He was blown
00:22:25to ashes long ago!
00:22:26You won't even
00:22:27find his bones!
00:22:29Leonise's bad luck
00:22:30will drag
00:22:31the whole town down!
00:22:32Just watch!
00:22:34Soon you won't
00:22:34even have mud
00:22:35to eat!
00:22:36I'm not a jinx!
00:22:38Grandma Ada
00:22:39says I brought
00:22:40good luck!
00:22:41You're a bad person!
00:22:43Get out of my house!
00:22:49Aunt Grace's laughter
00:22:50suddenly stops
00:22:51as the roar of an engine
00:22:53and the steel monster
00:22:55shatters the silence
00:22:57of the wasteland
00:22:58and traces back
00:22:59doors of ice.
00:23:00The car door opens
00:23:01and a tall man
00:23:02covered in metal
00:23:03steps out.
00:23:04I don't even need
00:23:05to see his face.
00:23:07The pounding
00:23:07in my blood give
00:23:09gives me the answer.
00:23:10Dad!
00:23:12Dad!
00:23:13Dad!
00:23:19The majestic maid
00:23:21decorated with metals
00:23:22gives me a solemn salute.
00:23:24I thought God
00:23:26heard my prayers
00:23:27and brought Dad back.
00:23:29But that cold
00:23:30purple heart
00:23:31tells me
00:23:32I'll never feel
00:23:33his hug again.
00:23:40Captain Leo
00:23:41protected our country
00:23:42with his life.
00:23:43This honor belongs
00:23:44to him.
00:23:44And to his only daughter
00:23:46Leonie.
00:23:47The major pulls out
00:23:48a thick paper bag.
00:23:50Inside is
00:23:51five thousand dollars
00:23:52from my dad's
00:23:53military pension.
00:23:55I don't know
00:23:55how much that is
00:23:56but I hear the adults
00:23:58saying it could buy
00:23:59a mountain of bread
00:24:00covered in sugar
00:24:01and jam.
00:24:03Aunt Grace
00:24:04and Uncle Thomas
00:24:05pop out of nowhere.
00:24:06One second
00:24:07they want to throw me
00:24:08into the wild
00:24:08and the next
00:24:09they put on fake smiles
00:24:10and try to drag me home.
00:24:12Uncle Thomas grips
00:24:13my arm
00:24:14like an iron fist.
00:24:15I know he doesn't want me.
00:24:17He wants that blood money.
00:24:20Grandma Ada
00:24:21acts like a lioness
00:24:22protecting her cub
00:24:24and rips up my sleeve.
00:24:25Those rotting frostbites
00:24:27and bruises
00:24:28look so layering
00:24:29in the sunlight.
00:24:30Look sir!
00:24:31Living with these
00:24:31two heartless scumbags,
00:24:32Leonie starves,
00:24:33freezes and gets beaten
00:24:34every single day.
00:24:36It's absolutely
00:24:37heartbreaking!
00:24:43You!
00:24:46How dare you
00:24:47treat a hero's
00:24:48only daughter
00:24:49like an animal!
00:24:52Aunt Grace
00:24:52is still lying.
00:24:54She points
00:24:54at my bloody wounds
00:24:55and lies
00:24:56with a straight face
00:24:57that I fell while playing.
00:24:58But I see the neighbors
00:24:59shaking their heads.
00:25:00They all know
00:25:01it's not true.
00:25:03Bullshit!
00:25:04I saw you buy
00:25:05new leather boots
00:25:06in the city
00:25:06with the military pay
00:25:07while you made
00:25:08this poor kid gnaw
00:25:08on spoiled potato peels
00:25:10in the snow!
00:25:10Yeah!
00:25:11She even lost
00:25:12the kid in the barn
00:25:12to beat her!
00:25:13We all heard the scream!
00:25:15The major's face
00:25:16is as dark
00:25:17as a stormy sky.
00:25:18He waves
00:25:18his white-gloved hand
00:25:19and orders their arrest.
00:25:21Uncle Thomas
00:25:22is taken away,
00:25:23but Aunt Grace
00:25:24avoids arrest
00:25:24because she has a baby
00:25:25to take care of.
00:25:29Watching the jeep
00:25:30drive away,
00:25:30I don't feel
00:25:31the thrill of revenge.
00:25:33I just think
00:25:34that maybe justice
00:25:34really does come
00:25:35to this desolate look.
00:25:39I thought with $5,000,
00:25:42my new home
00:25:42would be safe.
00:25:43I never expected
00:25:44trouble to come so fast.
00:25:46Miss Ella bursts
00:25:47through the door
00:25:47and her stare
00:25:48at that pile of cash
00:25:49is even scarier
00:25:51than Aunt Grace's.
00:25:53I'm carrying
00:25:54the only heir
00:25:55to this family.
00:25:56We should get
00:25:57half of that $5,000.
00:25:59James keeps his head down.
00:26:01For money,
00:26:02he doesn't even dare
00:26:03look at his sick brother.
00:26:05They aren't trying
00:26:06to steal money.
00:26:07They're trying to steal
00:26:08my last memory
00:26:09of my dad.
00:26:10Nobody is touching
00:26:11this money,
00:26:12including you!
00:26:14From now on,
00:26:15we live our own lives.
00:26:17Get out of my house!
00:26:18For me,
00:26:20Grandma kicks
00:26:21her own son
00:26:21out of the house.
00:26:22She rubs my head
00:26:24and says,
00:26:25as long as she's here,
00:26:27no one will touch
00:26:28a single hair
00:26:29on my head.
00:26:35Grandma Ada
00:26:36locks the money
00:26:37in an iron box
00:26:38under the bed.
00:26:39She tells me
00:26:40that money
00:26:41could buy
00:26:41lots of pretty clothes
00:26:43and candy.
00:26:44But my dad
00:26:45traded his life
00:26:46for it,
00:26:47so we can't
00:26:48waste a single penny.
00:26:51Dad's gut-ranking
00:26:53coughs come
00:26:53from the back room.
00:26:56He begs Mom
00:26:57from his sick bed
00:26:58to stop worrying
00:26:59about him
00:27:00and to save
00:27:01the last bite
00:27:01of food for me.
00:27:19The cracked earth
00:27:21in the Blackwood Forest
00:27:22looks like countless mouths
00:27:23laughing at our poverty.
00:27:25Starving people
00:27:26have stripped away
00:27:27every chewable piece
00:27:28of tree bark
00:27:29in this hell hole.
00:27:30Mom leans on her stick,
00:27:32wandering the wasteland
00:27:33in despair.
00:27:34Just as Mom
00:27:35is about to collapse,
00:27:38I trip hard
00:27:39over a tree root
00:27:40in the flying dust.
00:27:45I actually find
00:27:47a few heavy,
00:27:48dirty,
00:27:49weird-looking stones.
00:27:53Mom says
00:27:54they're useless rocks
00:27:56and tells me
00:27:57to throw them away.
00:27:58But right as she reaches out,
00:28:00something weird
00:28:01happens again.
00:28:05The festwick
00:28:06dies on the spot
00:28:08and rolls
00:28:09right to Mom's feet.
00:28:10Aunt Grace
00:28:12called me a jinx.
00:28:14But now,
00:28:15God himself
00:28:16has delivered
00:28:17dinner to me.
00:28:27Mom is finally smiling.
00:28:30When she smiles,
00:28:31the wrinkles around her eyes
00:28:33look like pretty flowers.
00:28:35If good luck is real,
00:28:37I want to give it all
00:28:39to the people
00:28:39who treat me well.
00:28:43But this is just
00:28:44the beginning.
00:28:45I actually
00:28:46dig up some lumpy
00:28:47white roots
00:28:48from the dirt
00:28:48that smell amazing.
00:28:51Mom says
00:28:52they're wild mushrooms.
00:28:54They smell so good.
00:28:56I don't know
00:28:57what they are,
00:28:58but Mom says
00:28:59we can sell them
00:28:59for money,
00:29:00so they must be good.
00:29:03Golden grease bubbles
00:29:05in the pan.
00:29:06The white mushrooms
00:29:07Mom sliced.
00:29:10Release
00:29:10an incredible
00:29:11mind-blowing smell
00:29:12in the heat.
00:29:14Even bed-roan
00:29:15Papa Arthur
00:29:16can't help
00:29:16but sit up.
00:29:23You're clearly
00:29:24an angel
00:29:25bringing good luck,
00:29:26yet they call you
00:29:26a witch-bringing disaster.
00:29:28What a bunch
00:29:29of blind idiots.
00:29:30But the smell
00:29:31brings trouble, too.
00:29:33Miss Ella bursts in,
00:29:35drooling so much
00:29:36it almost drips
00:29:37into our pot.
00:29:38She points
00:29:39to the air
00:29:40in her belly
00:29:41and demands
00:29:41the biggest bowl
00:29:42of meat.
00:29:45This time,
00:29:46Grandma Ada
00:29:47doesn't even
00:29:48look back.
00:29:49The heavy,
00:29:50bloody meat-crawber
00:29:51in her hand
00:29:52just flies
00:29:52across the room.
00:29:54With Grandma here,
00:29:55no one can go with us.
00:29:56Take one more step
00:29:57into my yard
00:29:58and I'll chop
00:29:58your feet off.
00:29:59Get lost!
00:30:04This is the first time
00:30:05I've ever had
00:30:06a full stomach.
00:30:07I don't have to shiver
00:30:08in a freezing haystack
00:30:09and no one
00:30:10is pulling my hair.
00:30:12I eat the delicious chicken
00:30:14and the air smells
00:30:15like pure happiness.
00:30:33Papa Arthur says
00:30:35his lungs feel warm
00:30:36and he can finally
00:30:37breathe easier.
00:30:39Mom says
00:30:40those white mushrooms
00:30:42we found
00:30:42will definitely sell
00:30:44for a good price.
00:30:45If we can buy medicine,
00:30:47Papa will be saved!
00:30:50The blowing yellow sand
00:30:52can't hide
00:30:52how run down
00:30:53the market is.
00:30:55Mom and I
00:30:55huddle in a corner,
00:30:56carefully laying out
00:30:57those lumpy white roots.
00:30:59I don't know it yet,
00:31:00but these wild mushrooms
00:31:02are called white gold
00:31:03on the tables
00:31:04of rich city folks.
00:31:06And then she started
00:31:07begging her cousin Mark.
00:31:09She kept pulling
00:31:11on his sleeve
00:31:12and crying.
00:31:13I'm sorry.
00:31:14She wanted
00:31:15Mark Uncle
00:31:16to get Thomas
00:31:17out of jail.
00:31:24Mark is impatiently
00:31:26trying to push her away.
00:31:28Then he notices us
00:31:29in the corner.
00:31:33A Aunt Grace
00:31:34blames me
00:31:34for all her tragedies.
00:31:39Leone!
00:31:41You're the reason
00:31:42my life is ruined!
00:31:47Aunt Grace's face
00:31:48is uglier
00:31:49than dead bark
00:31:50in the Blackwood Forest.
00:31:52For the $5,000
00:31:53she brought
00:31:54her bully cousin Mark
00:31:55who works
00:31:56at the town hall.
00:31:58They stare
00:31:59at Mom and me
00:32:00like starving wolves.
00:32:04Mom and I
00:32:05guard our stall.
00:32:06It's our only hope
00:32:07to buy Papa's medicine.
00:32:14But Mark
00:32:15comes right up
00:32:16and kicks
00:32:17our basket over.
00:32:19Mark yells
00:32:20like crazy
00:32:20in the market
00:32:21framing us
00:32:22for selling
00:32:22deadly poisonous mushrooms.
00:32:24Right in front
00:32:25of everyone
00:32:26he crushes
00:32:27the white mushrooms
00:32:28we worked so hard
00:32:29to find
00:32:29just like stepping
00:32:30on trash.
00:32:31Mark grabs
00:32:32the gray stones
00:32:33I found
00:32:33calling us
00:32:34money hungry scammers.
00:32:36With a loud bend
00:32:37he smashes
00:32:38the rocks
00:32:38onto the ground.
00:32:40The sound
00:32:40of them breaking
00:32:41is the sound
00:32:42of my heart breaking.
00:32:43The crowd
00:32:44believes Mark.
00:32:45They point
00:32:46at us
00:32:46calling us
00:32:47shameless.
00:32:48Their insults
00:32:49almost drown
00:32:50Mom and me.
00:32:51We're not
00:32:52scamming anyone.
00:32:54These really
00:32:55aren't
00:32:55poisonous mushrooms.
00:32:57That's not true.
00:32:58We're not lying.
00:33:02Mark doesn't care
00:33:03about poisonous
00:33:04mushrooms at all.
00:33:06He just wants
00:33:07the $5,000
00:33:08Papa left us.
00:33:09He threatens
00:33:10Mom like a snake
00:33:11saying if we don't
00:33:13pay protection money
00:33:14he'll make us
00:33:15disappear from
00:33:16Oak Haven for good.
00:33:17To protect
00:33:18my life-saving money
00:33:19Mom firmly
00:33:20rejects this
00:33:21hungry wolf.
00:33:22But it brings
00:33:23devastating revenge.
00:33:25Mark goes crazy.
00:33:27He flips our stall
00:33:28and crushes the
00:33:29white mushrooms
00:33:30that could save
00:33:31Papa Arthur
00:33:31into mud.
00:33:33I scream
00:33:34and pray for God
00:33:35to punish these
00:33:35bad people
00:33:36but all I get
00:33:37is Aunt Grace's
00:33:38piercing cacker.
00:33:39You bad people.
00:33:41God is watching.
00:33:43He will definitely
00:33:44punish you.
00:33:45She points
00:33:46at my nose
00:33:46calling me
00:33:47a naive
00:33:48little idiot
00:33:49saying even
00:33:51Jesus couldn't
00:33:52save us now.
00:33:53Stop.
00:33:57I follow
00:33:58everyone's gaze
00:33:59and see two men
00:34:00walking in
00:34:01from the crowd.
00:34:02They dress
00:34:03completely differently
00:34:04from the townsfolk
00:34:05and they look
00:34:05incredibly distinguished.
00:34:14What the hell
00:34:15are you blind
00:34:16idiots doing?
00:34:19The old man
00:34:21with glasses
00:34:21kneels in the mud
00:34:22holding the crushed
00:34:23pieces.
00:34:24His hands are shaking
00:34:25worse than dead leaves
00:34:26in autumn.
00:34:27I can feel how angry
00:34:28and heartbroken he is.
00:34:29At the time
00:34:30I still didn't know
00:34:31just how precious
00:34:32those crushed
00:34:33white mushrooms were.
00:34:38You fool!
00:34:40These are top
00:34:41great white struffles
00:34:42that even the royal family
00:34:43pays a fortune to find
00:34:45and you crush them?
00:34:47Mark's face
00:34:47instantly drained
00:34:48of color
00:34:49too terrified
00:34:50to speak.
00:34:51Meanwhile
00:34:52Mr. Sterling
00:34:53with his leopard cane
00:34:54slowly walks
00:34:56toward the gray stones
00:34:57Aunt Grace smashed.
00:34:59In that moment
00:35:00I think the sun
00:35:01fell into the stone.
00:35:02Beneath the dull
00:35:03gray surface
00:35:04a dreamy
00:35:05deep purple light
00:35:06shines out.
00:35:07Mr. Sterling
00:35:08says
00:35:08it's an extremely rare
00:35:10natural amethyst
00:35:11geog.
00:35:12Mr. Sterling
00:35:13goes crazy.
00:35:14He pulls out
00:35:14a thick stack
00:35:15of hundred dollar bills
00:35:17enough to buy
00:35:18half the town
00:35:19and shoves it
00:35:19into mom's hands.
00:35:21He says he'd give
00:35:21his entire fortune
00:35:23to buy all the trash
00:35:24stones I found.
00:35:26Seeing things go bad
00:35:30Mark and Aunt Grace
00:35:31try to sneak away
00:35:32into the crowd
00:35:33like cowards.
00:35:34But the two men
00:35:36in black suits
00:35:37grab them by the collars
00:35:38and throw them hard
00:35:40into a filthy
00:35:40stinking mud puddle.
00:35:46Mom's hands
00:35:47are shaking so much
00:35:49she can barely
00:35:50hold the heavy
00:35:50stack of cash.
00:35:51She can't believe
00:35:53the rotten mushrooms
00:35:54and broken stones
00:35:55I casually picked up
00:35:57in the blackwood forest
00:35:58are actually worth
00:35:59more than gold.
00:36:01Mr. Sterling
00:36:02takes off
00:36:02his expensive top hat.
00:36:04He says
00:36:05I'm an angel
00:36:06blessed by God.
00:36:07The villagers
00:36:08who used to point
00:36:09and gloss up
00:36:10are all shocked
00:36:11silent by this
00:36:12massive fortune.
00:36:14You just found
00:36:15these lying around?
00:36:17Good lord
00:36:18this child is
00:36:19absolutely
00:36:20a reincarnated angel.
00:36:22Only someone
00:36:23blessed by God
00:36:23could have such
00:36:24unbelievable luck.
00:36:25Mr. Sterling
00:36:26I think we have
00:36:28an obligation
00:36:28to help this child
00:36:29get the compensation
00:36:30she deserves
00:36:31and make these
00:36:32scumbags face
00:36:33their punishment.
00:36:34The well-dressed
00:36:35lawyer steps forward.
00:36:37He calculates
00:36:38our damages
00:36:38at $3,500.
00:36:41That's an
00:36:42astrosnomical price.
00:36:44Enough to buy
00:36:45the whole town
00:36:45of Oakhaven.
00:36:47Mark doesn't want
00:36:48to pay the compensation.
00:36:50He tries to run
00:36:52towards a speeding
00:36:52coal train
00:36:53to hop on
00:36:54and escape.
00:36:58The bodyguard
00:36:59quickly drags him
00:37:00back from the train
00:37:00and pins him
00:37:01in the mud.
00:37:02He can't run anymore.
00:37:03The sheriff arrives
00:37:04and tells Aunt Grace
00:37:05that if she doesn't
00:37:06get the money together
00:37:07in 48 hours
00:37:08she'll not only
00:37:09hand over Papa's farm
00:37:10that she stole
00:37:10but she'll also
00:37:11rot in jail
00:37:12for the rest of her life.
00:37:20Late at night
00:37:20in Oakhaven
00:37:21the wind tears
00:37:22at the ground
00:37:22like a mad beast.
00:37:23The old roof shakes
00:37:24the drafty windows creak
00:37:26but in the flickering
00:37:26light of the kerosene
00:37:27lamp
00:37:27Aunt Grace is scarier
00:37:28than the storm.
00:37:29I found a picture today
00:37:30a man in a uniform.
00:37:31I asked who he was.
00:37:32She said it was nothing
00:37:33just someone who used
00:37:34to live here.
00:37:35The old roof shakes
00:37:36the drafty windows crink
00:37:39the $3,500 collection notice
00:37:43chokes her like a noose.
00:37:45Instead of repenting
00:37:46Aunt Grace just stares
00:37:48at the document
00:37:48with the red thumbprint
00:37:50plotting to steal
00:37:51the blood-soaked ocean money
00:37:52under Grandma Ada's bed.
00:37:55Lightning flashes
00:37:56lighting up
00:37:57Aunt Grace's soaked face.
00:37:59she raises cold plizers
00:38:01snips the wire fence
00:38:03and sneaks onto our farm.
00:38:22It rains so hard that night.
00:38:24The noise keeps me awake.
00:38:27I get up for a drink of water
00:38:29having no idea danger is so close.
00:38:40The wind is so strong outside.
00:38:44I'm afraid the rain
00:38:45will ruin the wood floor
00:38:46so I drag a big iron bucket over
00:38:49and force the window shut tight.
00:38:51I think closing the window
00:38:53will keep the storm out
00:38:54but I don't notice
00:38:56the old frame is rotten.
00:38:58The second I turn around
00:39:00Aunt Grace pries it open.
00:39:10I don't know the window is broken
00:39:12and might fall if opened again.
00:39:15Aunt Grace risks her life
00:39:17for that money.
00:39:18She squeezes inside
00:39:20scraping the skin
00:39:22right off her waist.
00:39:25The metal clangs loudly
00:39:27in the dead of night.
00:39:28Aunt Grace flails
00:39:30like a funny puppet
00:39:31desperately trying to grab something
00:39:34to steady herself.
00:39:35Please don't fall.
00:39:36But she grabs a wobbly shelf.
00:39:46Grandma Ada taught me
00:39:48that quick live boils
00:39:49like a kettle
00:39:50when it hits water.
00:39:52Aunt Grace screams
00:39:53so miserably
00:39:55but
00:39:57she wouldn't be hurt
00:39:58if she didn't sneak in
00:39:59through the window
00:39:59at midnight.
00:40:04Aunt Grace screams
00:40:06smashes through the back door
00:40:08and plunges into
00:40:09the terrestrial rain.
00:40:10The quick line
00:40:11boils on her face.
00:40:13The burning blinds her
00:40:14making her stumble
00:40:16through the mud.
00:40:19Even the farm dog
00:40:21avoids that stinky pit.
00:40:23Aunt Grace used to call me
00:40:25a smelly beggar
00:40:26but now
00:40:27even the skunk
00:40:28living in the pit
00:40:29is disgusted by her.
00:40:31Aunt Grace crawls
00:40:33out of the cesspool.
00:40:34Her mind still obsessed
00:40:36with the money.
00:40:37When she finds the heavy
00:40:39locked metal box
00:40:40in the junk pile
00:40:41her burned eyes
00:40:42gleam scarier
00:40:43than the demons.
00:40:44A locked box!
00:40:46The money must be inside!
00:40:57The smell of gunpowder
00:40:59overpowers the rain
00:41:01and Grandma Ada's
00:41:02furious shout
00:41:03tears through the night.
00:41:04Don't let that animal
00:41:05get away!
00:41:06Aunt Grace actually
00:41:06hits the gas
00:41:07through a hail of bullets.
00:41:09In the pouring rain
00:41:10Aunt Grace laughs
00:41:12like a dying maniac
00:41:14in a speeding truck.
00:41:20This 5000's is all mine!
00:41:22She hugs the metal box
00:41:23to her chest
00:41:24thinking she holds
00:41:26all the wealth
00:41:26in the world
00:41:27and has finally
00:41:28beaten everyone.
00:41:32Grandma Ada
00:41:33holds her shotgun
00:41:34anxious to chase her.
00:41:36I stand barefoot
00:41:37in the mud
00:41:38and gently tug
00:41:39her wet shirt
00:41:40to remind her.
00:41:41Uncle Thomas told me
00:41:42before that
00:41:43whenever it storms
00:41:44the wooden bridge
00:41:45over there
00:41:45floods completely.
00:41:55The truck in the storm
00:41:56is like a wild
00:41:57beast out of control.
00:41:59I.E. Grace
00:41:59screams madly
00:42:00in the cab.
00:42:01When she sees the river
00:42:02completely swallowing
00:42:03the bridge
00:42:04she falls into
00:42:05total despair.
00:42:11The crash shatters
00:42:13the rain.
00:42:14Aunt Grace doesn't die
00:42:15but she lands
00:42:17somewhere worse
00:42:17than hell.
00:42:18Major Evans'
00:42:20military restricted zone.
00:42:23Money.
00:42:25My money.
00:42:26A dozen black
00:42:27Thompson submachine guns
00:42:29aim right at her head.
00:42:31Major steps forward
00:42:33in his raincoat
00:42:34with a cold face.
00:42:36I told you not to flee.
00:42:38Where do you think
00:42:38you're driving
00:42:39Miss Grace?
00:42:47It's over.
00:42:49It's all over.
00:42:52The stench
00:42:53from the truck
00:42:54is more nauseating
00:42:55than a rotting corpse
00:42:56in the black forest.
00:42:58It's the smell
00:42:59of cesspooled water
00:43:00mixed with Aunt Grace's
00:43:01bleed.
00:43:02Even as the MPs
00:43:04drag her into the mud
00:43:05she clings
00:43:06to the heavy metal box.
00:43:08While Aunt Grace
00:43:09dreams of being rich
00:43:10Grandma Ada arrives
00:43:11with me on her
00:43:12roaring tractor.
00:43:14Grandma looks at
00:43:15Aunt Grace in the mud
00:43:16and laughs
00:43:16with sheer contempt
00:43:18because the real
00:43:19pension money
00:43:20rests safely
00:43:21under the
00:43:21Hanson family's bed.
00:43:27Grandma Ada
00:43:28tells Major Evans
00:43:29the truth
00:43:30and he pries
00:43:31open the heavy
00:43:32padlock
00:43:33with the dagger
00:43:33and his feet.
00:43:34With a loud
00:43:35clank
00:43:35Aunt Grace's dream
00:43:37shatters
00:43:37completely.
00:43:48Stealing private property.
00:43:50Go join your husband
00:43:52in prison.
00:43:53Take her away.
00:44:04My once arrogant
00:44:06aunt and uncle
00:44:07now look like
00:44:09two cornered rabbits
00:44:10facing their final judgment.
00:44:14Grandma doesn't carry
00:44:15her scary shotgun today.
00:44:18She puts me in a new lace dress
00:44:20and holds my hand
00:44:22stepping into the light
00:44:23like a guardian angel.
00:44:25This is all on you!
00:44:26Uncle Thomas' mental defenses
00:44:27completely break down
00:44:29and he roars at Aunt Grace.
00:44:31Facing 20 years in prison
00:44:33he doesn't hesitate
00:44:34to sign his name.
00:44:44The gavel bangs down hard.
00:44:47The judge declares
00:44:48that the farm
00:44:49and all the wealth
00:44:50dad left me
00:44:51are finally back
00:44:52in my hands.
00:44:54Now.
00:45:01The judge usually
00:45:02looks so mean
00:45:03and everyone
00:45:04is scared of him.
00:45:06But today
00:45:07he bends down
00:45:09and smiles at us.
00:45:10Just like the chubby man
00:45:12in town
00:45:12who loves giving kids candy.
00:45:17Aunt Grace used to
00:45:18plug her nose
00:45:19disgusted by the
00:45:20moldy barn smell on me.
00:45:23But now
00:45:24she stinks so bad
00:45:26that even I
00:45:26have to turn my head
00:45:27and pinch my nose.
00:45:30Remember that
00:45:31freezing barn you
00:45:32kicked Leonie into
00:45:33on that stormy day?
00:45:35From today on
00:45:36that broken barn
00:45:38is yours.
00:45:39The guards
00:45:39can't stand
00:45:40Aunt Grace's
00:45:41sour stench.
00:45:42They drag her out
00:45:43and her screams
00:45:44echo through the hall.
00:45:47The adults surround me
00:45:48smiling and calling me
00:45:50a lucky little angel.
00:45:52But I don't care.
00:45:54All I know
00:45:55is that Grandma's
00:45:56hand holding mine
00:45:57is big and warm
00:45:58and no one
00:45:59will ever force me
00:46:00into a freezing barn
00:46:01again.
00:46:04I used to think
00:46:05this dirt could only
00:46:06grow hard rocks
00:46:07and starved bugs.
00:46:09Only today
00:46:10do I realize
00:46:11it can grow
00:46:12so much wheat
00:46:13that looks like
00:46:13pure gold.
00:46:17Grandma laughed
00:46:18so loudly today.
00:46:23good girl
00:46:24look
00:46:24these are all
00:46:25gifts from God
00:46:26that neither of us
00:46:28notices Miss Ella
00:46:29staring at me.
00:46:30She looks exactly
00:46:32like Aunt Grace
00:46:32used to
00:46:33when she wanted
00:46:34to hit me.
00:46:35Miss Ella
00:46:35yells at James.
00:46:37They want this
00:46:38most fertile land
00:46:39in town.
00:46:40Miss Ella
00:46:40looks at me
00:46:41so fiercely
00:46:42as if she wants
00:46:43to rush over
00:46:44and eat me alive.
00:46:52If that damn
00:46:53old hack
00:46:54won't give it
00:46:54to us
00:46:55we'll just
00:46:55take it ourselves.
00:46:56Take it?
00:46:57How?
00:46:58That land
00:46:59is in the name
00:46:59of that little
00:47:00bastard Leonie.
00:47:05Then we'll
00:47:05find a way
00:47:06to switch the deeds.
00:47:08Greedy snakes
00:47:09can never fill
00:47:10their bottomless
00:47:10pit of desire.
00:47:12blood ties
00:47:13don't bring
00:47:14family love
00:47:15they just
00:47:16become an
00:47:16excuse to steal.
00:47:22Greedy James
00:47:23brings his
00:47:24dark secrets
00:47:25and knocks
00:47:26on the back
00:47:26door of power
00:47:27just like
00:47:28a sewer rat.
00:47:33I only learn
00:47:35later
00:47:35that there's
00:47:36a scary magic
00:47:37in the adult
00:47:37world.
00:47:39If you
00:47:39secretly give
00:47:40the mayor
00:47:41a special
00:47:41gift
00:47:42your wishes
00:47:43come true.
00:47:47James uses
00:47:48tobacco and
00:47:49money to
00:47:50trade for
00:47:50the
00:47:50fertilile farm
00:47:51under my
00:47:52name.
00:48:04James
00:48:06your appetite
00:48:07is way
00:48:08bigger than
00:48:09your dying
00:48:10brothers.
00:48:23Power
00:48:24completely
00:48:25surrenders
00:48:25to money.
00:48:28The mayor
00:48:29accepts James'
00:48:30his gift.
00:48:49Take it, James.
00:48:51With this requisition
00:48:52order, that fertile land
00:48:53is yours by sunrise
00:48:55tomorrow.
00:49:12this morning, a lot
00:49:13of people suddenly
00:49:15come to our farm.
00:49:18It's James, Miss
00:49:20Ella, and the mayor.
00:49:21They look really
00:49:23mean.
00:49:23They use big adult
00:49:25words I don't
00:49:26understand.
00:49:27I just see Grandma
00:49:28Ada shaking with
00:49:29anger because they
00:49:30want to trade a
00:49:31barren wasteland for
00:49:32our golden wheat field.
00:49:37Trade?
00:49:38James, do you think
00:49:39I'm an idiot?
00:49:40Not even weeds can
00:49:41grow on that land!
00:49:42Don't waste your
00:49:43breath on her!
00:49:44Quick, pull up the
00:49:45boundary markers and
00:49:46put ours in!
00:49:47This is our land now!
00:49:48Grandma nailed that
00:49:49marker herself.
00:49:50When it falls, my
00:49:52heart hurts so much.
00:49:54You robbers!
00:49:55I'll fight you to
00:49:56the death!
00:49:58Those two guns are
00:50:00so, so close to
00:50:01Grandma's head.
00:50:02For the first time, I
00:50:03realize a hunting rifle
00:50:04isn't scary at all.
00:50:05Mrs. Hanson, calm
00:50:06down, or we'll arrest
00:50:08you for obstructing
00:50:09justice.
00:50:10No!
00:50:11Don't kill my
00:50:12grandma!
00:50:12No!
00:50:13What's really scary
00:50:14is when others
00:50:15point guns at us.
00:50:23Just sign it, Mrs. Hanson.
00:50:25You don't want this
00:50:26little girl watching
00:50:27you get taken away,
00:50:28do you?
00:50:28Grandma Ada looks
00:50:30at me crying in fear.
00:50:32She closes her eyes
00:50:33and agrees to sign
00:50:35the contract.
00:50:38I grip Grandma's
00:50:40clothes tight.
00:50:41I'm worried she's
00:50:42in danger.
00:50:43I see her eyes
00:50:44turn red, and my
00:50:45heart aches, but I
00:50:47don't know what to
00:50:48do.
00:50:56You old hag!
00:50:58Take this unlucky
00:50:59little stray and get
00:51:00all my property right
00:51:01now!
00:51:02Go eat dirt in that
00:51:03rocky wasteland!
00:51:09We move to the place
00:51:11they call the rocky
00:51:12land.
00:51:13There's nothing here
00:51:14but bare rocks
00:51:15and cold wind.
00:51:19Grandma Ada is
00:51:21frowning so hard.
00:51:28This year's harvest
00:51:30is totally ruined,
00:51:32sweetie.
00:51:33We might starve.
00:51:34I see how sad
00:51:36Grandma is,
00:51:37and my heart feels
00:51:38like it's crushed
00:51:39by a rock,
00:51:40but I don't want
00:51:41to make her sadder.
00:51:42I remember Grandma
00:51:43Ada said,
00:51:44as long as there is hope,
00:51:46there's nothing to fear.
00:51:47Don't worry, Grandma.
00:51:48I can grow pretty flowers
00:51:49even in the rocks.
00:51:50I just want to do
00:51:52something.
00:51:53Even if it's just
00:51:54digging a little hole,
00:51:55I believe my luck
00:51:57will definitely help us.
00:51:59Right then,
00:52:00something weird happens.
00:52:02The ground starts
00:52:03shaking violently.
00:52:05I feel the rocks
00:52:06under my feet
00:52:07jumping like they're
00:52:08alive.
00:52:09Danger!
00:52:09Leonis, get out
00:52:10of the way!
00:52:16The ground shakes
00:52:18like a thousand
00:52:19wild horses
00:52:20running under
00:52:20my feet.
00:52:21My feet go numb.
00:52:23I shut my eyes tight
00:52:24thinking I really
00:52:25messed up
00:52:26and dug up
00:52:26a sleeping demon
00:52:27with my
00:52:28rusty little shovel.
00:52:30I've never seen
00:52:31such a scary
00:52:32and awesome sight.
00:52:33The black liquid
00:52:34shoots up so high
00:52:36and rains down,
00:52:37splashing all over
00:52:38me and Grandma.
00:52:40This weird rain
00:52:41is black
00:52:41and stinky.
00:52:42It sticks to my face
00:52:44and ruins
00:52:45my only clean dress.
00:52:46I look at Grandma
00:52:48nervously,
00:52:49terrified she's
00:52:50going to blow up
00:52:51over this awful
00:52:51prank.
00:52:52But I notice Grandma
00:52:53Ada isn't mad
00:52:54at all.
00:52:55Her weathered face
00:52:56instantly twists
00:52:57into this extreme,
00:52:59almost crazy joy.
00:53:01This isn't muddy
00:53:01water!
00:53:02It's crude oil!
00:53:03It's oil!
00:53:04Thank God!
00:53:05We struck oil!
00:53:06I don't know
00:53:08what oil is,
00:53:09but I can taste
00:53:10Grandma's happy tears.
00:53:12In this black rain,
00:53:14we hug each other
00:53:15so tight.
00:53:19Not long after
00:53:20that black rain,
00:53:21a bunch of
00:53:22big shoops
00:53:23come to town.
00:53:24They head straight
00:53:25for this rocky
00:53:26wasteland
00:53:27that even the devil
00:53:28wouldn't look
00:53:29twice at.
00:53:42congratulations,
00:53:43Mrs. Hanson.
00:53:44Your granddaughter
00:53:45is a true
00:53:46lucky angel.
00:53:48A bunch of guys
00:53:49in expensive suits
00:53:50step out of the cars.
00:53:51They use weird gadgets
00:53:53to dig and measure
00:53:54all over the place.
00:53:58Mr. Sterling!
00:53:59Initial surveys show
00:54:01the most massive
00:54:02shallow oil field
00:54:04in the entire state
00:54:05is hidden
00:54:06right under here!
00:54:07The value
00:54:08is immeasurable!
00:54:09I don't understand
00:54:10what they're saying,
00:54:11but I see
00:54:12Mr. Sterling
00:54:13pull out
00:54:13a really big
00:54:14piece of paper
00:54:15with lots
00:54:16and lots
00:54:17of zeros on it.
00:54:18Starting today,
00:54:19an oil company
00:54:20named after you
00:54:21is officially founded.
00:54:22Congratulations,
00:54:22my little
00:54:23black gold
00:54:24Tycara!
00:54:24In that moment,
00:54:26I feel like
00:54:26I'm dreaming.
00:54:27Mr. Sterling
00:54:28calls me
00:54:29a black gold Tycone.
00:54:30I don't really
00:54:31get what that means,
00:54:32but he tells me
00:54:33we'll never
00:54:34go hungry again.
00:54:37Mr. Sterling
00:54:38tells me
00:54:39God rewards
00:54:40the good
00:54:40but also punishes
00:54:42the bad guys
00:54:42who bully us
00:54:44without mercy.
00:54:45Once I use
00:54:45this money
00:54:46to buy off
00:54:46the state senator,
00:54:48I'll get out
00:54:49of this hellhole
00:54:50and be a real
00:54:51big shot
00:54:51in Washington.
00:54:52He sends
00:54:53the toughest lawyers
00:54:54and cops
00:54:56to find
00:54:56that evil mayor.
00:54:57Those gentlemen
00:54:58in black suits
00:54:59burst right
00:54:59into that room
00:55:00full of lies.
00:55:02Mr. Mayor,
00:55:03this is all
00:55:03the evidence
00:55:03of your corruption,
00:55:04bribery,
00:55:05and abuse of power.
00:55:06You're under arrest.
00:55:07Just like superheroes
00:55:09dropping from the sky
00:55:10in movies.
00:55:11Seeing the bad guy
00:55:12get punished
00:55:13makes me feel
00:55:14so good.
00:55:15This can't be happening!
00:55:16Let go of me!
00:55:16I can give you money!
00:55:18Turns out,
00:55:19there really is
00:55:20justice in this world.
00:55:25Aunt Ella
00:55:26and Uncle James
00:55:27stand on the
00:55:27fertile farm
00:55:28they stole.
00:55:29They look at
00:55:29the rocky land
00:55:30they tossed away
00:55:31like trash,
00:55:32now swarming
00:55:33with rich people,
00:55:34and they are going
00:55:35absolutely crazy
00:55:37with jealousy.
00:55:38Damn it!
00:55:38That land was ours!
00:55:41We threw it away!
00:55:43At least we still
00:55:44have the best
00:55:44wheat field in town.
00:55:46We'll strike it rich
00:55:47in the fall anyway.
00:55:48That little bit of oil
00:55:49they have
00:55:49will probably
00:55:50dry up real soon.
00:55:51Miss Ella
00:55:51is still dreaming
00:55:53of getting rich,
00:55:54but she doesn't know
00:55:55that God's judgment
00:55:57never spares
00:55:58a greedy soul.
00:55:59I see a huge
00:56:00dark cloud flying in.
00:56:04As it gets closer,
00:56:06I realize it's not
00:56:08a cloud at all.
00:56:09It's millions
00:56:10of gross bugs.
00:56:25James' screams echo
00:56:27across the empty farm.
00:56:29That golden wheat field
00:56:30is just completely
00:56:32eaten up by the bugs.
00:56:36The bugs eat all the crops.
00:56:38Miss Ellie kneels
00:56:39in the messy mud
00:56:40without a shred
00:56:41of dignity,
00:56:42like a soulless corpse.
00:56:43Miss Ella cries so hard.
00:56:46She probably doesn't get
00:56:47why God's bugs
00:56:48only ate the fertile
00:56:50wheat field
00:56:50they stole from us.
00:56:51It's gone!
00:56:53It's all gone!
00:56:54We're bankrupt!
00:57:01A lot of big machines
00:57:03I've never seen before
00:57:04arrive on this rocky land.
00:57:07Mr. Sterling says
00:57:08they'll make us
00:57:09so much money
00:57:10I won't be able
00:57:11to spend it all
00:57:12in a lifetime.
00:57:20So many people
00:57:21are here today
00:57:22and they're all cheering.
00:57:24I'm so happy
00:57:25because Grandma Ida
00:57:27and I have new clothes on.
00:57:29She takes my hand
00:57:30and we cut the red ribbon.
00:57:34Grandma said
00:57:35flowers planted in rocks
00:57:36bloom brighter
00:57:37than any other.
00:57:39Now,
00:57:40our harsh winter
00:57:41is finally over completely.
00:57:48On this land,
00:57:50we live a peaceful
00:57:51and wealthy life.
00:57:55But I don't know
00:57:56that while we smile
00:57:57in the sun,
00:57:58a venomous snake
00:58:00in the dark
00:58:00is already eyeing us.
00:58:03The news of the oil field
00:58:05attracts someone
00:58:06even greedier
00:58:07than a wild wolf.
00:58:09Forced my downs
00:58:10are too low class.
00:58:11All I need
00:58:12is to snatch
00:58:13Leonez' custody
00:58:14and this oil field
00:58:16is mine.
00:58:18For money
00:58:19and revenge
00:58:20they sell
00:58:21Grandma Ada
00:58:22and me out.
00:58:27Ada is vulgar
00:58:28and mentally unstable.
00:58:30She carries
00:58:31a hunting rifle
00:58:32everywhere,
00:58:33has violent tendencies
00:58:35and constantly
00:58:36abuses Leonee.
00:58:38Excellent!
00:58:40She's unfit
00:58:41to raise Leonee.
00:58:42I'll be taking
00:58:42over her custody.
00:58:45McLean files
00:58:46a petition
00:58:46to change
00:58:48guardianship
00:58:48at the court,
00:58:50shattering
00:58:50my peaceful life
00:58:52with Grandma Ada.
00:58:55It's a rare,
00:58:56sweet moment,
00:58:57but the screech
00:58:58of brakes
00:58:59shatters the peace.
00:59:01Two bailiffs
00:59:02step out of the car
00:59:03and walk straight up
00:59:04to Grandma Ada.
00:59:05Hello,
00:59:06Mrs. Hanson.
00:59:06We're from the city court.
00:59:08Someone reported you
00:59:08for child abuse
00:59:09and is demanding you
00:59:10hand over
00:59:10Leonee's custody.
00:59:11Grandma Ada
00:59:12is stunned.
00:59:13Once she snaps
00:59:14out of it,
00:59:15she loudly
00:59:16protests
00:59:17and swears
00:59:17she never abused
00:59:18any child.
00:59:20I swear on my life,
00:59:22Grandma Ada
00:59:22is the best person
00:59:24in the world!
00:59:25She has never
00:59:26abused me!
00:59:27Sorry,
00:59:28we're just here
00:59:28to notify you.
00:59:29Direct any questions
00:59:30to the hearing
00:59:31next Wednesday.
00:59:32Until then,
00:59:32you are forbidden
00:59:33from transferring
00:59:33any assets
00:59:34under the girl's name.
00:59:35But my promise
00:59:37is useless
00:59:37because everything
00:59:39will be decided
00:59:40in court.
00:59:41The hearing
00:59:42proceeds as scheduled.
00:59:44For Grandma Ada
00:59:45and me,
00:59:45this isn't a fair trial
00:59:46at all.
00:59:47It's a brutal,
00:59:48one-sided execution.
00:59:49McClain hired
00:59:50top-tirt lawyer Barry
00:59:51with serious cash
00:59:53while we could only
00:59:54find Mr. Sterling.
00:59:55Mrs. Hanson,
00:59:56do you have any idea
00:59:58how to raise
00:59:58a multi-million dollar
01:00:00girl?
01:00:01Or is your only skill
01:00:02abusing people
01:00:03and feeding pigs?
01:00:04You!
01:00:05Lawyer Barry,
01:00:06you should know
01:00:06that you need
01:00:07to present evidence
01:00:08for your claims.
01:00:09Of course,
01:00:10don't you worry
01:00:10about that.
01:00:11Lawyer Barry
01:00:12uses fancy legal talk
01:00:14to paint Grandma Ada
01:00:15as a violent,
01:00:17ignorant village woman.
01:00:18What's worse,
01:00:20the devil's accomplices
01:00:21take the stand.
01:00:22Your Honor,
01:00:23I saw with my own eyes
01:00:25how Ada forced
01:00:27Leonid to sleep
01:00:28in the barn
01:00:28and eat scraps.
01:00:30You two animals,
01:00:32shut up!
01:00:33Ella,
01:00:34you're crossing the line.
01:00:35James,
01:00:36is this how you
01:00:36treat your own mother?
01:00:37They take every single
01:00:39horrific thing
01:00:40they did to me
01:00:41and pin it all
01:00:42on Grandma Ada,
01:00:43who loves me.
01:00:44Order!
01:00:46If you dare
01:00:47to show contempt
01:00:48of court again,
01:00:49I'll have the bailiffs
01:00:50throw you all
01:00:51in jail instantly!
01:00:52The judge has already
01:00:53been bought off
01:00:54by McClain.
01:00:55He doesn't listen
01:00:56to a word we say.
01:00:57The court leans
01:00:58towards revoking
01:00:59Ada's guardianship,
01:01:01transferring it
01:01:02to McClain's foundation
01:01:03and sending Leonide
01:01:05to a closed
01:01:06boarding school
01:01:07on the east coast.
01:01:08A closed school
01:01:10means I'll be
01:01:11totally at McClain's mercy
01:01:13and our oil wealth
01:01:15will be completely
01:01:15swallowed up.
01:01:16I won't go to school!
01:01:18I don't want to leave
01:01:19Grandma Ada!
01:01:23Everyone holds
01:01:25their breath.
01:01:26The judge
01:01:26is about to strip
01:01:27Grandma Ada
01:01:28of my custody.
01:01:29Whatever is on that paper
01:01:31decides my fate.
01:01:33The bad guy's
01:01:34wicked laughs
01:01:35drill into my ears.
01:01:37Their dirty revenge
01:01:39is about to succeed.
01:01:41Grandma Ada
01:01:42hugs me tight,
01:01:44completely desperate.
01:01:45I glare at those
01:01:46monsters through my tears.
01:01:48I absolutely can't
01:01:50let them take
01:01:50everything from me.
01:01:54I see the massive
01:01:55chandelier crash down,
01:01:57smashing the briefcase
01:01:59next to the judge.
01:02:02Countless papers
01:02:03fly everywhere.
01:02:05Mr. Sterling
01:02:06grabs some
01:02:06key documents.
01:02:07He announces
01:02:08to the courtroom
01:02:09that it's evidence
01:02:10of the judge
01:02:11taking bribes
01:02:12from the sick room.
01:02:13The proof
01:02:14is solid.
01:02:15All their dirty deals
01:02:17are exposed.
01:02:18Despicable!
01:02:19They ganged up
01:02:19to take Leonie away.
01:02:21But now it's all
01:02:21out in the open.
01:02:22Their plot failed.
01:02:23We're done for.
01:02:24Mr. Sterling
01:02:25calls the police.
01:02:27McLean's plot
01:02:28is completely ruined
01:02:30and Miss Ella
01:02:31and the others
01:02:32will get
01:02:33what they deserve.
01:02:34McLean,
01:02:36your dirty money
01:02:37can buy a judge,
01:02:39but it can't
01:02:40buy real justice.
01:02:44The bribe judge
01:02:46is taken away
01:02:47by the police.
01:02:48I finally return
01:02:49to Grandma Ada
01:02:50and the greedy
01:02:51James and Ella
01:02:52become abandoned pawns.
01:03:07Damn you, Ada.
01:03:09This isn't over.
01:03:11McLean doesn't
01:03:12just let it go.
01:03:13He finds the local
01:03:14mafia
01:03:15ready to use
01:03:17violence.
01:03:23Just when we think
01:03:24everything is peaceful
01:03:25again,
01:03:26McLean's revenge
01:03:27hits fast,
01:03:29way beyond
01:03:30what any of us
01:03:31expected.
01:03:32I'll go check it out.
01:03:34I walk out
01:03:36with Grandma Ada
01:03:37and the others.
01:03:38We see several cars
01:03:39without license cards
01:03:40smash through
01:03:41the farm gate
01:03:42like mad bulls,
01:03:44completely blocking
01:03:45our escape.
01:03:51They claim
01:03:52McLean sent them.
01:03:53They threaten
01:03:54Grandma Ada
01:03:54to sell the oil field
01:03:55to them dirt cheap,
01:03:56but she refuses
01:03:57to give in.
01:03:58They only give us
01:03:5910 minutes.
01:04:00After 10 minutes,
01:04:02they'll make
01:04:02their move.
01:04:18Grandma Ada
01:04:19chooses to let
01:04:20Mom Martha
01:04:21hide me
01:04:22in the cellar
01:04:23while she faces
01:04:24the mafia head-on.
01:04:47Give me 10 minutes
01:04:48to think about it.
01:04:52Give me 10 minutes
01:04:55Grandma pretends
01:04:57to give in
01:04:57just to keep me safe.
01:05:07Grandma Ada
01:05:09has already decided
01:05:11to fight the mafia
01:05:12to the end
01:05:13and Dad Arthur
01:05:15asks Sheriff Harry
01:05:16for backup.
01:05:24The mobsters
01:05:25get ready to strike.
01:05:28But Grandma Ada
01:05:32is faster.
01:05:35Damn it!
01:05:36They have guns!
01:05:38You scumbags
01:05:39want to steal
01:05:40my granddaughter's land?
01:05:42Get off my property
01:05:43right now
01:05:44or I'll send you
01:05:45to hell!
01:05:51To protect me
01:05:53and our home,
01:05:54Grandma Odd
01:05:55and Dad Arthur
01:05:56get into a shootout
01:05:57with the mob.
01:06:02But nobody knows
01:06:04that two greedy coyotes
01:06:06are sneaking
01:06:07into our
01:06:08defenseless backyard.
01:06:23That bitch Martha
01:06:24took the little bastard
01:06:26in there.
01:06:26This is our best chance.
01:06:28Whether the mob
01:06:29or Mother wins,
01:06:31we're dead either way.
01:06:32Catching Lionel
01:06:33is our only leverage.
01:06:42The constant gunshots
01:06:44outside make me
01:06:45super anxious.
01:06:46Just then,
01:06:47the cellar door
01:06:48suddenly opens.
01:06:49Is it Grandma Ada
01:06:50and the others
01:06:51coming back?
01:06:52Grandma Ada?
01:06:58It's you!
01:06:59Get out of here
01:07:00right now!
01:07:01My dear sister Martha,
01:07:03that old hag Ada
01:07:05is busy fighting the mob.
01:07:06Let's see who comes
01:07:07to save you this time.
01:07:09They'll want to kidnap me,
01:07:10but Mom Martha
01:07:11stands in front of me
01:07:12to protect me.
01:07:18Stop fighting,
01:07:20you little brat!
01:07:21You're our cash cow!
01:07:22Ella grabs me,
01:07:23clamping a towel
01:07:24soaked in pungent chemicals
01:07:25tightly over my nose
01:07:27and mouth.
01:07:28Intense busyness
01:07:29instantly pierces
01:07:30my brain.
01:07:30Hurry up!
01:07:31Get her in the sack!
01:07:32We don't have much time!
01:07:33Grandma Ada
01:07:34and the others
01:07:35hide in the cellar
01:07:36to dodge the mob,
01:07:37but...
01:07:41Martha, wake up!
01:07:46Mother Arthur,
01:07:48James and Ella
01:07:50took Leonese.
01:07:53I wake up to find
01:07:54my hands tied
01:07:55to a rotting wooden post.
01:07:57Ella and James
01:07:57are like wolves
01:07:58ready to devour me.
01:07:59Once we get the money,
01:08:00we'll throw you down
01:08:02an abandoned mine shaft
01:08:03to feed the rats!
01:08:04Let's go.
01:08:05We should check
01:08:06the situation outside.
01:08:08They leave,
01:08:09and I'm all alone
01:08:10in the abandoned mine.
01:08:12I'm so scared,
01:08:13but I can't just
01:08:13do nothing.
01:08:14They'll use me
01:08:15to threaten Grandma Ada.
01:08:16I can't let them
01:08:17get away with it.
01:08:18Thank God.
01:08:19The lalt rope
01:08:20falls off on its own.
01:08:23Is that firefly
01:08:24leading the way for me?
01:08:35The little bitch
01:08:36escaped!
01:08:37Miss Ella quickly
01:08:38notices I'm gone.
01:08:40She and James
01:08:41are searching for me.
01:08:45The harsh light
01:08:46flashes right past
01:08:47my feet.
01:08:48I'm gonna be found.
01:08:50What do I do?
01:08:51Save me,
01:08:52Grandma Ada.
01:08:53Dad!
01:08:56Grandma Ada
01:08:57and the others
01:08:58are trapped.
01:08:59The mob
01:09:00is searching for us.
01:09:02Grandma Ada
01:09:03and Dad Arthur
01:09:04wait for Sheriff Harry,
01:09:06but he doesn't show up
01:09:07because the mob
01:09:08has him pinned down too.
01:09:11It's all my fault.
01:09:13I didn't protect
01:09:14Leon 8.
01:09:16Mom lost me,
01:09:18and she feels
01:09:19incredibly guilty.
01:09:24Let's take them down
01:09:25with us.
01:09:30The mob finds
01:09:31Mom Martha
01:09:32and the others.
01:09:43You're out of bullets,
01:09:44right?
01:09:46Say your prayers.
01:09:48But right then,
01:09:49a deafening roar
01:09:51interrupts Victor.
01:09:58Who's this nosy bastard?
01:10:00You got a death wish?
01:10:08Who is...
01:10:18Where is my daughter?
01:10:20Leo!
01:10:22Leo needs
01:10:23real father!
01:10:27That tall man,
01:10:29like a god of war,
01:10:30my father Leo,
01:10:32rushes to Grandma
01:10:33anxiously,
01:10:34asking where I am.
01:10:36Grandma Ada
01:10:37blasts the venomous
01:10:39McLean's plant
01:10:40and Ella's
01:10:41shameless kidnapping.
01:10:43Luckily,
01:10:44Sheriff Harry arrives
01:10:45at the scene
01:10:45and quickly takes down
01:10:47the rest of the mobsters.
01:10:51Mrs. Hanson,
01:10:52please forgive me
01:10:53for being late.
01:10:54That mob sent people
01:10:55to block us.
01:10:56Seeing my father alive,
01:10:58Sheriff Harry is so shocked
01:10:59he can barely hold his gun.
01:11:01My father explains
01:11:02he faked his death
01:11:03to carry out
01:11:04a top-secret mission.
01:11:05By the way,
01:11:06my men saw
01:11:07Ella and James
01:11:08heading toward
01:11:08the abandoned mine
01:11:09out west.
01:11:10Thank you, Harry.
01:11:18But right now,
01:11:19the blinding flashlight
01:11:21beam pins me down
01:11:22like a viper's tongue.
01:11:24Catch her!
01:11:25She can't get far!
01:11:26I can't let them
01:11:27catch me.
01:11:28That'll just cause
01:11:29more trouble
01:11:30for Grandma Ada.
01:11:31Save me, Dad.
01:11:44I run through the tunnel
01:11:46for my life,
01:11:47but those heavy footsteps
01:11:49follow me
01:11:50like a death sentence.
01:11:52James catches up
01:11:53to me quickly.
01:11:54He grabs my hair tight,
01:11:56slams me hard
01:11:57onto the cold,
01:11:58rocky ground,
01:11:59and talks with Miss Ella
01:12:00about breaking my legs.
01:12:02The huge rock
01:12:03is about to smash
01:12:04my legs.
01:12:05I can almost hear
01:12:06my bones breaking.
01:12:07Someone,
01:12:08please save me.
01:12:10Who?
01:12:10Who is this?
01:12:11Do you have any idea
01:12:12who you're messing with?
01:12:16No!
01:12:17Don't kill me!
01:12:17You can take the girl.
01:12:18She's worth an oil field.
01:12:20You'll be rich!
01:12:20I hear Ella's terrified
01:12:22voice in the dark.
01:12:23Did someone save me?
01:12:25No!
01:12:27No!
01:12:28No!
01:12:29No!
01:12:29No!
01:12:30No!
01:12:30No!
01:12:31No!
01:12:31No!
01:12:41Dad?
01:12:46Dad?
01:12:47It's Dad.
01:12:48He saves me.
01:12:49I knew he wasn't dead.
01:12:51My daughter,
01:12:52Leonith.
01:12:53Dad's embrace
01:12:54is as warm
01:12:55as the midday sun.
01:12:56It instantly drives away
01:12:58all the cold and fear
01:13:00in the mine.
01:13:01Dad carefully checks me
01:13:03for injuries.
01:13:04Luckily,
01:13:05Miss Ella and the others
01:13:06haven't hurt me yet.
01:13:07Dad takes me
01:13:08out of the pitch black mine.
01:13:11Grandma Ada
01:13:11and the others
01:13:12find us too.
01:13:13Grandma Ada
01:13:14checks every inch of me.
01:13:16She only relaxes
01:13:17after making sure
01:13:18I'm not hurt.
01:13:20Leone!
01:13:21My sweet baby,
01:13:22are you okay?
01:13:25Grandma Ada
01:13:26furiously scolds
01:13:27Miss Ella
01:13:28and James.
01:13:29Sheriff Harry
01:13:30arrives
01:13:31and arrests them.
01:13:32The bad guys
01:13:33are taken away.
01:13:34No!
01:13:35Mother,
01:13:35please forgive me!
01:13:36It's over.
01:13:37It's all over.
01:13:39No!
01:13:40And Dad
01:13:41is finally back.
01:13:42I hold Grandma's hand
01:13:44tightly with one hand
01:13:45and grip Dad broad,
01:13:47warm hand
01:13:48with the other.
01:13:52Dad promises me
01:13:53he will come back.
01:13:55Grandma Ada
01:13:56tells me
01:13:56Dad is going to
01:13:58catch the bad guy.
01:13:59The one behind
01:14:00this whole conspiracy.
01:14:03Dad tells me
01:14:04to stay here
01:14:05and be good.
01:14:06He has to go
01:14:07take care of something.
01:14:12to stay here
01:14:13and be good.
01:14:21Glane messes
01:14:23everything up.
01:14:24After finding out
01:14:25Dad's identity,
01:14:26he decides
01:14:27to flee immediately.
01:14:30Dammit!
01:14:31Why does he have
01:14:32a military background?
01:14:40McLean jumps
01:14:41into his car
01:14:42in a panic.
01:14:43But they don't
01:14:44even make it
01:14:45out of the
01:14:45estate gates.
01:14:46Get us out of here
01:14:47as fast as you can.
01:14:49Now!
01:14:55My dad
01:14:56blocks their way.
01:14:57McLean gives the order
01:14:59and the car
01:15:00doesn't slow down.
01:15:02They want to run
01:15:03my dad over.
01:15:04Facing the speeding
01:15:05beast,
01:15:06Dad doesn't panic.
01:15:08He calmly
01:15:09pulls out his gun
01:15:10and shoots.
01:15:15Dad's perfect
01:15:17breakthrough marksmanship
01:15:18flips the bad guy's car.
01:15:21McLean can't escape.
01:15:22Don't kill me!
01:15:23I'll give you
01:15:2410 million!
01:15:25Keep your money.
01:15:26You'll need it
01:15:27to buy your way
01:15:27into hell.
01:15:31McLean stands
01:15:32in the dock
01:15:33in a prison uniform,
01:15:34totally stripped
01:15:36of his former arrogance.
01:15:39Dad not only
01:15:40catches McLean himself,
01:15:42but also gathers
01:15:43all the evidence
01:15:44of his crimes.
01:15:46No elite lawyer
01:15:47can save him now.
01:15:49McLean,
01:15:51do you have anything
01:15:53to say?
01:15:54No.
01:15:55I confess
01:15:56to my crimes.
01:15:58In the end,
01:16:00McLean is sentenced
01:16:01to life in prison
01:16:02and stripped
01:16:03of all his assets.
01:16:15As for Miss Ella
01:16:16and James,
01:16:18they get their
01:16:19due punishment too.
01:16:2030 years in prison.
01:16:22They deserve it.
01:16:23All the bad guys
01:16:25are locked up
01:16:26and I finally
01:16:27have my dad back.
01:16:29A much better life
01:16:30is waiting for us.
01:16:33Dad's hand is so warm
01:16:35and I feel so comfortable
01:16:37right now.
01:16:38He promises
01:16:39he'll never leave
01:16:41my side again.
01:16:42Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.
01:16:44Our family must have
01:16:45a proper celebration.
01:16:53The fire cracklers
01:16:54and the smell
01:16:55of roast turkey
01:16:57and pumpkin pie
01:16:58fills the whole house.
01:17:00This is a Thanksgiving dinner
01:17:02I couldn't even dare
01:17:04to dream of.
01:17:06Grandma Ada
01:17:07and the family
01:17:07call me their little angel.
01:17:09They say they have
01:17:10this life now
01:17:10because of me.
01:17:12My dad also
01:17:13thanks Grandma Ada
01:17:14because she took me in.
01:17:16If it weren't for her
01:17:18I wouldn't be here today.
01:17:26Even without blood ties
01:17:27I've considered them
01:17:29my real family
01:17:30for a long time.
01:17:38This is the only thing
01:17:39your mom left behind.
01:17:40She got separated
01:17:41from her family
01:17:42in a dust storm.
01:17:43Her wish was to find them.
01:17:45Now I'm passing it on to you.

01:17:47I take my mom's belonging
01:17:49and beside me
01:17:50Grandma Ada
01:17:51suddenly freezes
01:17:52as if she's been electrocuted.

01:19:00in the world.
