Short filmTranscript
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.
00:00:21And she whipped me bloody with a thorn in vine. What are you looking at? I gave you a soup
00:00:28last, and you still steal food! You! Good-for-nothing leech! Aunt Grace slammed the heavy farm tool right onto
00:00:38me. Stop playing dead! If you don't finish before sunset, forget about 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. Dirt in Oak Haven is growing its own seeds! Since you
00:01:30don'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! And so was I.
00:01:52I'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.
00:02:15Hey! 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.
00:02:51It's gonna die in the dark.
00:02:55I thought I'd run. I'd die in her bed.
00:02:57That's not how it was.
00:02:58It's gonna die in my head.
00:03:01I thought I got to dance.
00:03:02Don't let it go.
00:03:02Don't let it go.
00:03:03Don't let it go.
00:03:03Don't let it go.
00:03:06It's gonna be fun.
00:03:09I would be fun.
00:03:10You what did you guys?
00:03:10Mrs. Hansen, 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. Hansen deserve a reward from God.
00:03:26Right then, Mrs. Hansen accidentally kicked a pile of dead roots,
00:03:30and hidden inside was a massive, golden, dripping wild honeycomb.
00:03:40Mrs. Hansen 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. Hansen and Miss Martha stormed out in a rage.
00:04:32But right as she crossed the threshold,
00:04:34Mrs. Hansen 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.
00:04:55Turns out, under all that yelling,
00:04:58Mrs. Hansen's had the only kind heart in town.
00:05:03Grace 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. Hansen.
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. Hansen, help me!
00:05:47Please don't throw me out!
00:05:49I'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.
00:06:14Sweet Miss Martha gave me the best piece of meat.
00:06:16I didn't want to eat it.
00:06:17I wanted to repay Mrs. Hansen for keeping me warm.
00:06:21But just as she went to take her first bite, something weird happened.
00:06:27Get lost, you begging little stray!
00:06:29You don't belong here!
00:06:46Miss Ella, I'm sorry.
00:06:49Miss 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, but Miss Ella bites into a bone and knocks her teeth out.
00:06:56Her mouth is full of blood.
00:06:59Miss Ella is furious she didn't get to eat the meat.
00:07:02But there's nothing she can do.
00:07:03She just leaves in a rage.
00:07:12Leon, you are a good girl.
00:07:16It's morning.
00:07:17Miss Martha takes me home.
00:07:19As soon as we reach the gate, I 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!
00:07:44I'll work harder!
00:07:45I won't eat!
00:07:46I won't sleep!
00:07:47I'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, terrified that dad won't find me when he comes back.
00:08:02She heartlessly kicks me away, grabs a thorny stick, and whips me hard on the back.
00:08:07I run out of the house into the cornfield, and I run and run.
00:08:16Miss Martha rushes over to protect, but 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!
00:08:47Even with the glass cutting my fingers and blood pouring out, I 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.
00:09:11Stop it!
00:09:13The thunderous roar shocks everyone.
00:09:18The 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, but looking at my mangled hands, Mr. Carter painfully closes his eyes.
00:09:36In that moment, the last bit of hope in my heart completely dies.
00:09:41Dad really isn't coming back.
00:09:46Leon is the child of a hero!
00:09:49How dare you treat her like this!
00:09:50She's a jinx.
00:09:52I 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 just guiltily hides behind his wife, not even daring to look at me.
00:10:08My wife is right.
00:10:10We have a son to raise, too.
00:10:12Mr. Carter takes off his hat and humbly begs the villagers to each chip in a little food to raise
00:10:18me together.
00:10:19But those neighbors, who once received favors from my dad,
00:10:23all make excuses about having no extra food.
00:10:27They even suggest sending me to the workhouse in the city.
00:10:31In that moment, I feel like a dirty rag tossed away by the world.
00:10:36With red eyes, Mr. Carter drags me toward his carriage.
00:10:40I click frantically, digging 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 burst 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, ignoring everything else,
00:11:10and holds me tight in her warm embrace.
00:11:18I hide in Miss Martha's warm arms like a drowning cat.
00:11:22Even though Mr. Carter sighs and 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 on to.
00:11:34Miss Martha, I'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, she won't starve!
00:11:46How bizarre.
00:11:47Someone actually wants to raise this jinx.
00:11:50Martha, I suggest you prepare a coffin for your sick husband first.
00:11:54Right then, Miss Ella, heavily pregnant, suddenly stormed out.
00:11:58Martha!
00:11:59Are you insane?
00:12:00She's just a freeloading jinx!
00:12:03Where on earth do we have the money to raise a stray?
00:12:05Everyone is saying Mrs. Hanson will kick me out.
00:12:09Martha, your family has no extra money or food either.
00:12:12Your mother-in-law will probably just throw her out again tomorrow.
00:12:17You gutter rats!
00:12:19Is talking trash behind people's backs all you're good for in this life?
00:12:23Mrs. Hanson shows up with a dark scowl.
00:12:27Everyone expects her to throw me back into the wild.
00:12:29But the next second, a crisp slap echoes out and the whole yard falls dead silent.
00:12:42You idiot.
00:12:44Don't think being pregnant makes you untouchable.
00:12:46How dare you come out here spewing lies?
00:12:49Now, get your ass back home now!
00:12:58Taking Leonie in was my call.
00:13:01Anyone else got something to say?
00:13:03I'll shatter your bones with this pole!
00:13:07Mrs. Hanson's words hit like a bombshell.
00:13:11She's actually taking me.
00:13:12Turns out, even in this freezing world,
00:13:15someone is willing to face the backlash for a jinx like me.
00:13:19Ada, you've been a cheap shooter your whole life.
00:13:22You hoard rusty nails.
00:13:25But now you're raising a stray?
00:13:26They're dirt poor.
00:13:28Bet they'll trade her for 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 begged for food, it was crickets.
00:13:37Now I step up, and suddenly you've all 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, hungry, and working your fingers to the bone.
00:13:51Can you handle that?
00:13:53I can!
00:13:54I'll wash clothes, gather wood, and take care of Mr. Arthur.
00:13:58When I'm older, I swear I'll make it up to you.
00:14:01All right, then.
00:14:02From now on, I'm your grandma, and Martha is your mom.
00:14:07Grandma.
00:14:10Mom.
00:14:11Mom.
00:14:13Not so fast.
00:14:14You want the kid?
00:14:16You owe me rations for my trouble.
00:14:18Are you crazy, Grace?
00:14:19You just refused to take her.
00:14:21You can't shake Ada down 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, and she stays put.
00:14:43I was terrified Mrs. Hanson would back out.
00:14:46Five pounds of flour just for me?
00:14:48That's a whole month's worth of bread for a family.
00:14:50Fine!
00:14:51Deal!
00:14:51What?
00:14:53Ada actually agreed?
00:14:55We're writing a contract to cut all ties right here.
00:14:57From this moment on, Leone has nothing to do with you two animals.
00:15:02Dead or alive, we go our separate ways.
00:15:06Fine by me!
00:15:07Who wants this jinx anyway?
00:15:09Thomas, go write up the contract!
00:15:14Just as Aunt Grace smugly carries the flour inside,
00:15:18she trips over nothing.
00:15:20The flour she traded me for is completely blown away by the wind.
00:15:49See that?
00:15:50God is watching!
00:15:52Leone, let's go home!
00:15:54For the first time, the cramped cabin feels warm from the fire.
00:15:59Mrs. Hanson curses the whole time,
00:16:01calling the thick wool blanket Miss Martha spent three months knitting
00:16:05a piece of junk, but she tosses it right into my arms.
00:16:08This junk is stiff and stinky!
00:16:10Hurry up and make a bed for this unlucky brat,
00:16:12and don't get my floor dirty!
00:16:16Grandma Ada calls that beautiful wool blanket junk,
00:16:20but she has sick Mr. Arthur tuck me in with it.
00:16:24In this moment, I finally have a home.
00:16:28Thank you, Grandma.
00:16:30Thank you, Mom.
00:16:33Thank you, Mr. Arthur.
00:16:36Mr. Arthur tells me to call him Dad.
00:16:38He says until my real dad comes back,
00:16:41he'll protect me with his life.
00:16:42I'm finally not an unwanted kid anymore.
00:16:50Good Lord!
00:16:53How could that wicked woman do this?
00:16:55Martha, go sell my wool coat.
00:16:59Use the money to build up her strength.
00:17:01To buy me meat.
00:17:02Dad even wants to sell his winter coat.
00:17:05Grandma slams the table and stops him,
00:17:07because without it, Dad won't survive the winter.
00:17:10Mom cries and says the doctor told them a natural hot spring could turn Dad's health around.
00:17:15But in Oak Haven, where it hasn't rained in three years, that'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 with all my heart.
00:17:29I'd give up ten years of my life for Dad's health.
00:17:32I run to the back hill, wanting to do more chores for the family.
00:17:37With a loud pop, I easily pull a deep-rooted stump right out of the ground.
00:17:43Then, a blast of hot, wet steam shoots into the sky like a giant dragon.
00:17:49Grandma! Mom! Come out quick! I broke the ground!
00:17:55I broke the ground!
00:17:56Hearing my scream, Grandma Ad rushes over first.
00:17:59I think I broke the earth and caused a huge disaster.
00:18:04But when she touches the boiling water with trembling hands,
00:18:07she laughs and cries like a kid.
00:18:11It's hot! The water is hot!
00:18:13It's a natural hot spring!
00:18:37A hot spring!
00:18:38It's a real hot spring!
00:18:42Arthur, my son.
00:18:44The doctor said a hot spring could save your lungs!
00:18:47You're saved!
00:18:49Mom hugs me tight and kisses my face in excitement.
00:18:52She says I'm an angel sent by God.
00:18:55It turns out I'm not unwanted trash.
00:18:57I can be someone's salvation too.
00:19:01But when I happily return to the yard,
00:19:04I'm greeted by two icy faces.
00:19:07Miss Ella and Aunt Grace are whispering together.
00:19:10Their glares pierce my heart like poison swords.
00:19:14What rotten luck!
00:19:16We're already too poor to eat, and now we have to share food with her.
00:19:19Ella, I'm telling you, stay away from them.
00:19:22That Lyonnais brings nothing but bad luck.
00:19:30But, remembering bad, spent all his money on medicine.
00:19:34I can't bear to see this family tear itself apart over me.
00:19:38Miss Ella, please don't be mad.
00:19:41I won't fight for anything.
00:19:43I'll help take care of the baby,
00:19:45and I won't eat the good food.
00:19:49Liar!
00:19:49Are you going to let her pass her bad luck to your son?
00:19:53Her curse will kill your son!
00:19:56Pete!
00:20:03Get lost!
00:20:04Don't touch me with your dirty hands!
00:20:16Aunt Grace screams that I'm a monster
00:20:19who kills families,
00:20:21pushing Miss Ella to attack me.
00:20:23Just as I try to beg again,
00:20:25Ella winds up and slaps me hard across the face.
00:20:32My face burns like it's on fire.
00:20:34But I don't cry.
00:20:37Grandma Ada told me
00:20:38if I'm bullied and oppressed,
00:20:40I have to fight back.
00:20:42Leone,
00:20:42you are a child of this house.
00:20:44When you get bullied,
00:20:46you fight back.
00:20:47Grandma helps me raise my hand
00:20:49and aim at Aunt Grace,
00:20:51who's waiting for a laugh.
00:20:53The stone hits her shoulder dead on me.
00:20:55Ouch!
00:20:55My shoulder's hurt!
00:20:57Help!
00:20:57I watch Aunt Grace run away.
00:21:00She used to seem like a giant fence to me.
00:21:03But now,
00:21:04she looks like a panicked gray rat
00:21:06scurrying around.
00:21:07Grandma Ada
00:21:08is like a massive tree
00:21:10shielding me from the storm.
00:21:12She publicly announces
00:21:13she's cutting ties with Miss Ella.
00:21:15Leone is my chosen granddaughter!
00:21:17She's no jinx!
00:21:18Mother!
00:21:19Your real grandson is right here.
00:21:21Arthur is a cripple,
00:21:22and Martha can't have kids.
00:21:24If you insist on keeping this jinx,
00:21:25we're cutting ties.
00:21:27Fine, I agree.
00:21:28Mom and Dad
00:21:29pull Grandma's sleeves,
00:21:30begging her not to act rashly.
00:21:33But she firmly refuses.
00:21:35As long as this toxic woman,
00:21:38Ella, is around,
00:21:39our family will never have a normal life!
00:21:42I'm kicking this wicked woman out today!
00:21:46Cutting ties is no big deal.
00:21:48But get the best house
00:21:50and the biggest part of the farm!
00:21:52Done!
00:21:54You can have it!
00:21:56Just get out of my sight!
00:21:58Ella,
00:22:00don't hesitate!
00:22:01Cut ties with them!
00:22:03And your husband's money
00:22:05will be all yours!
00:22:06Do you want Leonise
00:22:08to bring bad luck
00:22:09to you and your baby?
00:22:11Don't forget,
00:22:13her unlucky dad
00:22:14just died in 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 to ashes long ago!
00:22:26You won't even find his bones!
00:22:29Leonise's bad luck
00:22:30will drag the whole town down!
00:22:33Just watch!
00:22:34Soon you won't even have mud to eat!
00:22:36I'm not a jinx!
00:22:38Grandma Ada says
00:22:39I brought good luck!
00:22:41You're a bad person!
00:22:43Get out of my house!
00:22:49Aunt Grace's laughter suddenly stops
00:22:51as the roar of an engine
00:22:53where the steel monster
00:22:56shatters the silence of the wasteland
00:22:58and traces back doors and doors.
00:23:00A car door opens
00:23:01and a tall man covered in metal
00:23:04steps out.
00:23:05I don't even need to see his face.
00:23:07The pounding in my blood give
00:23:09gives me the answer.
00:23:10Dad!
00:23:12Dad!
00:23:14Dad!
00:23:16Dad!
00:23:19The majestic maid decorated
00:23:21with metals
00:23:22gives me a solemn salute.
00:23:25I 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 to 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 $5,000
00:23:52from my dad's military pension.
00:23:55I don't know how much that is
00:23:56but I hear the adults saying
00:23:58it could buy a mountain of bread
00:24:00covered in sugar and 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
00:24:10inside a dragon home.
00:24:12Uncle Thomas grips my arm
00:24:14like an iron vis.
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
00:24:23protecting 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!
00:24:30Living with these two
00:24:31heartless scumbags
00:24:32Leonie starves
00:24:33freezes and gets beaten
00:24:34every single day.
00:24:36It's absolutely heartbreaking!
00:24:44You!
00:24:46How dare you treat
00:24:48a hero's only daughter
00:24:49like an animal!
00:24:52Aunt Grace is still lying.
00:24:54She points at my bloody wounds
00:24:55and lies with 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 this poor kid
00:25:08gnaw on spoiled potato peels
00:25:10in the snow!
00:25:10Yeah!
00:25:11She even locked the kid
00:25:12in the barn to 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 his white-gloved hand
00:25:20and 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 drive 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 life.
00:25:39I thought with $5,000
00:25:41my 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
00:26:06they'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
00:26:19Grandma kicks
00:26:21her own son
00:26:21out of the house.
00:26:23She 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
00:26:42lots 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.
00:26:52Dad'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
00:27:02of food
00:27:02for me.
00:27:03Cough
00:27:04Cough
00:27:04Cough
00:27:05Cough
00:27:09Cough
00:27:10Cough
00:27:10Cough
00:27:24Cough
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
00:27:48weird looking stones.
00:27:53Mom says
00:27:55they're useless rocks
00:27:56and tells me
00:27:57to throw them away
00:27:58but right as she
00:27:59reaches 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
00:28:32around her eyes
00:28:33look like pretty flowers.
00:28:35If good luck
00:28:36is real
00:28:37I want to give it
00:28:38all to the people
00:28:39who treat me well.
00:28:42But this is
00:28:44just the beginning.
00:28:45I actually
00:28:46dig up some
00:28:47lumpy white 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.
00:29:09release an incredible
00:29:11mind-blowing smell
00:29:12in the heat.
00:29:14Even bed-rown
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.
00:29:31But the smell
00:29:31brings trouble too.
00:29:33Miss Ella
00:29:34bursts in
00:29:35drooling so much
00:29:36it almost drips
00:29:37into our pot.
00:29:38She points to 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
00:29:49bloody meat crawler
00:29:51in her hand
00:29:52just flies across
00:29:53the room.
00:29:54With Grandma here
00:29:55no one can gole us.
00:29:56Take one more
00:29:57step into my yard
00:29:58and I'll chop
00:29:58your feet off.
00:29:59Get lost!
00:30:04This is the first
00:30:05time I've ever
00:30:05had a full stomach.
00:30:07I don't have to
00:30:07shiver in a freezing
00:30:08haystack
00:30:09and no one
00:30:10is pulling my hair.
00:30:12I eat the delicious
00:30:13chicken
00:30:14and the air
00:30:15smells like
00:30:15pure happiness.
00:30:33Papa Arthur says
00:30:35his lungs feel warm
00:30:37and he can finally
00:30:37breathe easier.
00:30:39Mom says
00:30:40those white mushrooms
00:30:42we found
00:30:42will definitely
00:30:43sell for a good price.
00:30:44If we can buy
00:30:46medicine
00:30:47Papa will be
00:30:48saved!
00:30:50The blowing
00:30:51yellow sand
00:30:52can't hide
00:30:53how run down
00:30:53the market is.
00:30:55Mom and I
00:30:55huddle in a corner
00:30:56carefully laying out
00:30:58those lumpy
00:30:58white roots.
00:30:59I don't know it
00:31:00yet but these
00:31:01wild mushrooms
00:31:02are called
00:31:02white gold
00:31:03on the tables
00:31:04of rich city folks.
00:31:06And then she
00:31:07started begging
00:31:08her cousin Mark.
00:31:10She kept
00:31:11pulling on his
00:31:12sleeve
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
00:31:25impatiently
00:31:26trying to push
00:31:27her away.
00:31:28Then he notices
00:31:29us in 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 than
00:31:49dead bark
00:31:50in the Blackwood
00:31:50Forest.
00:31:52For the $5,000
00:31:53she brought
00:31:54her bully cousin
00:31:55Mark
00:31:55who works
00:31:56at the town hall.
00:31:58They stare at
00:32:00Mom 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
00:32:23deadly poisonous
00:32:23mushrooms.
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
00:32:35with a loud bang
00:32:37and smashes
00:32:38the rocks
00:32:39onto 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 poisonous
00:32:56mushrooms.
00:32:57That's not true.
00:32:58We're not lying.
00:33:02Mark doesn't
00:33:03care about
00:33:04poisonous mushrooms
00:33:05at 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
00:33:12don't pay
00:33:13protection money
00:33:14he'll make us
00:33:15disappear from
00:33:16Oak Haven
00:33:16for good.
00:33:17To protect
00:33:18my life-saving
00:33:19money Mom
00:33:20firmly rejects
00:33:21this hungry wolf
00:33:22but it brings
00:33:23devastating revenge.
00:33:25Mark goes
00:33:26crazy.
00:33:27He flips
00:33:28our stall
00:33:28and crushes
00:33:29the white mushrooms
00:33:30that could save
00:33:31Papa Arthur
00:33:31into mud.
00:33:33I scream
00:33:34and pray for
00:33:34God to punish
00:33:35these bad people
00:33:36but all I get
00:33:37is Aunt Grace's
00:33:38piercing cacker.
00:33:40You 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
00:33:48a 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
00:34:00two 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?
00:34:20The old man
00:34:21with glasses
00:34:21kneels in the mud
00:34:22holding the crushed pieces.
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
00:34:41top-grade white
00:34:42struffles
00:34:42that even the
00:34:43royal family
00:34:43pays a fortune
00:34:44to 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 says
00:35:09it's an extremely rare
00:35:10natural amethyst geog.
00:35:12Mr. Sterling goes crazy.
00:35:14He pulls out
00:35:15a 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
00:35:24trash stones 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
00:35:38by the collars
00:35:38and throw them
00:35:39hard into a filthy
00:35:40stinking mud puddle.
00:35:46Mom's hands
00:35:47are shaking so much
00:35:49she can barely hold
00:35:50the heavy stack
00:35:51of cash.
00:35:52She 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
00:36:00more than gold.
00:36:01Mr. Sterling takes 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
00:36:24could 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 scumbags
00:36:32face their punishment.
00:36:35The well-dressed lawyer
00:36:36steps forward.
00:36:37He calculates our damages
00:36:38at $3,500.
00:36:41That's an astrosnomical price.
00:36:44Enough to buy
00:36:45the whole town
00:36:46of 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 light
00:37:27of the carousel lamp
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.
00:37:33She said it was nothing
00:37:33just someone
00:37:34who used to live with.
00:37:35The old roof shakes.
00:37:37The 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
00:37:51tushin 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
00:38:02snips the wire fence
00:38:03and sneaks onto our farm.
00:38:22It rained so hard
00:38:23that night.
00:38:24The noise keeps me awake.
00:38:27I get up for a drink of water
00:38:29having no idea
00:38:30danger 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
00:39:11the window is broken
00:39:13and might fall
00:39:14if 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.
00:39:29Aunt Grace flails
00:39:30like a funny puppet
00:39:31desperately trying to grab
00:39:33something to steady herself.
00:39:35Please don't fall.
00:39:36But she grabs a wobbly shell
00:39:37for it.
00:39:43It burns my eyes!
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
00:39:56but she wouldn't be hurt
00:39:58if she didn't sneak in
00:39:59through the window
00:39:59at midnight.
00:40:05Aunt Grace screams,
00:40:06smashes through the back door
00:40:08and plunges into the terrestrial rain.
00:40:11The quick line boils
00:40:12on 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.
00:40:32Aunt Grace
00:40:32crawls out of the cesspool
00:40:34her mind
00:40:35still obsessed
00:40:36with the money.
00:40:37When she finds
00:40:38the heavy
00:40:39locked metal box
00:40:40in the junk pile
00:40:41her burned eyes
00:40:42beam scarier
00:40:43than the demons.
00:40:45A 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
00:41:04Aunt Grace actually
00:41:06hits the gas
00:41:07through a hail of bullets.
00:41:09In the pouring rain
00:41:11Aunt Grace laughs
00:41:12like a dying maniac
00:41:14in a speeding truck.
00:41:20This 5000's
00:41:21is 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
00:41:42told me before
00:41:42that whenever it storms
00:41:44the wooden bridge
00:41:45over there
00:41:45floods completely.
00:41:50La la la!
00:41:52La la la la la!
00:41:55The truck in the storm
00:41:56is like a wild
00:41:57beast out of control.
00:41:59I.E. Grace screams
00:42:00madly in the cab
00:42:01and she sees the river
00:42:02completely swallowing
00:42:03the bridge.
00:42:04The bridge!
00:42:04She falls into
00:42:05total despair.
00:42:05Where's my bridge?
00:42:07Stop!
00:42:08Stop right now!
00:42:11The crash shatters
00:42:13the rain.
00:42:14Aunt Grace doesn't die
00:42:15but she lands somewhere
00:42:17worse than 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.
00:42:32Major steps forward
00:42:33in his raincoat
00:42:34with a cold face.
00:42:36I told you not to flee.
00:42:37Where do you think
00:42:38you're driving,
00:42:39Ms. Grace?
00:42:47It's over.
00:42:48It's all over.
00:42:52The stench from 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.
00:43:03Even as the MPs
00:43:04drag her into the mud,
00:43:05she clings to the
00:43:07heavy metal box.
00:43:08While Aunt Grace
00:43:09dreams of being rich,
00:43:11Grandma 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 with
00:43:17sheer contempt.
00:43:18because the real
00:43:19pension money
00:43:20rests safely
00:43:21under the
00:43:21handsome 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 with a dagger.
00:43:34With a loud
00:43:35clank,
00:43:36Aunt Grace's dream
00:43:37shatters completely.
00:43:39Help!
00:43:41Help!
00:43:48Stealing private property.
00:43:50Go join your husband
00:43:52in prison.
00:43:53Take her away.
00:43:55Help!
00:43:57Help!
00:44:00Help!
00:44:02Help!
00:44:03Help!
00:44:04Help!
00:44:05Help!
00:44:05My once arrogant
00:44:06aunt and uncle
00:44:07now look like
00:44:09two cornered rabbits
00:44:10facing their
00:44:12final judgment.
00:44:14Grandma doesn't
00:44:15carry her
00:44:15scary shotgun
00:44:17today.
00:44:18She puts me
00:44:19in a new lace dress
00:44:20and holds my hand,
00:44:22stepping into the
00:44:23light like a
00:44:24guardian angel.
00:44:25This is all
00:44:25on you!
00:44:26Uncle Thomas'
00:44:26mental defenses
00:44:27completely break down
00:44:29and he roars
00:44:30at Aunt Grace.
00:44:31Facing 20 years
00:44:32in prison,
00:44:33he doesn't hesitate
00:44:34to sign his name.
00:44:44The gavel
00:44:45bangs down
00:44:46hard.
00:44:47The judge
00:44:48declares that
00:44:48the 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.
00:45:00The judge
00:45:01usually looks
00:45:02so mean
00:45:03and everyone
00:45:05is scared
00:45:05of him.
00:45:06But today
00:45:07he bends down
00:45:09and smiles
00:45:09at us
00:45:10just like
00:45:11the chubby man
00:45:12in town
00:45:12who loves
00:45:13giving kids
00:45:14candy.
00:45:17Aunt Grace
00:45:18used to plug
00:45:18her nose
00:45:19disgusted
00:45:20by the moldy
00:45:21barn smell
00:45:22on me.
00:45:23But now
00:45:24she stinks
00:45:25so bad
00:45:26that even
00:45:26I have
00:45:27to turn
00:45:27my head
00:45:28and pinch
00:45:28my nose.
00:45:30Remember
00:45:31that freezing
00:45:31barn you
00:45:32kicked Leonie
00:45:32into on
00:45:33that stormy
00:45:34day?
00:45:35From today
00:45:36on,
00:45:37that broken
00:45:37barn is
00:45:38yours.
00:45:39The guards
00:45:39can't stand
00:45:40Aunt Grace's
00:45:41sour stench.
00:45:42They drag
00:45:43her out
00:45:43and her
00:45:44screams
00:45:44echo
00:45:45through the
00:45:45hall.
00:45:47The adults
00:45:48surround me
00:45:48smiling
00:45:49and calling
00:45:50me a lucky
00:45:51little angel.
00:45:52But I don't
00:45:53care.
00:45:54All I know
00:45:55is that
00:45:55Grandma's
00:45:56hand holding
00:45:56mine
00:45:57is big
00:45:57and warm
00:45:58and no
00:45:59one will
00:45:59ever force
00:46:00me into
00:46:00a freezing
00:46:01barn again.
00:46:04I used
00:46:05to think
00:46:06this dirt
00:46:06could only
00:46:06grow hard
00:46:07rocks
00:46:07and starved
00:46:08bugs.
00:46:09Only today
00:46:10do I realize
00:46:11it can grow
00:46:12so much
00:46:13wheat
00:46:13that looks
00:46:13like pure
00:46:14gold.
00:46:17Grandma
00:46:17laughed so
00:46:18loudly
00:46:18today.
00:46:23Good girl
00:46:24look
00:46:24these are
00:46:25all gifts
00:46:26from God
00:46:26that neither
00:46:27of us
00:46:28notices
00:46:28Miss Ella
00:46:29staring at
00:46:29me.
00:46:30She looks
00:46:31exactly like
00:46:32Aunt Grace
00:46:32used to
00:46:33when she
00:46:33wanted to
00:46:34hit me.
00:46:35Miss Ella
00:46:35yells at
00:46:36James.
00:46:37They want
00:46:38this most
00:46:38fertile land
00:46:39in town.
00:46:40Miss Ella
00:46:41looks at
00:46:41me so
00:46:41fiercely
00:46:42as if she
00:46:43wants to
00:46:43rush over
00:46:44and eat
00:46:44me alive.
00:46:52If that
00:46:53damn old
00:46:53hack won't
00:46:54give it
00:46:54to us
00:46:55we'll just
00:46:55take it
00:46:56ourselves.
00:46:56Take it?
00:46:57How?
00:46:58That land
00:46:59is in the
00:46:59name of
00:46:59that little
00:47:00bastard
00:47:00Leonie.
00:47:05Then we'll
00:47:05find a way
00:47:06to switch
00:47:06the deeds.
00:47:08Greedy
00:47:08snakes
00:47:09can never
00:47:09fill their
00:47:10bottomless
00:47:11pit of
00:47:11desire.
00:47:12Blood
00:47:13ties don't
00:47:14bring family
00:47:15love.
00:47:15They just
00:47:16become an
00:47:16excuse to
00:47:17steal.
00:47:22Greedy
00:47:22James brings
00:47:23his dark
00:47:24secrets and
00:47:25knocks on
00:47:26the back
00:47:26door of
00:47:27power just
00:47:28like a
00:47:29sewer rat.
00:47:34I only
00:47:35learn later
00:47:35that there's
00:47:36a scary magic
00:47:37in the adult
00:47:38world.
00:47:39If you
00:47:39secretly give
00:47:40the mayor
00:47:41a special

00:48:28The mayor
00:48:29accepts
00:48:30James'
00:48:30gift.
00:48:49Take it, James.
00:48:51With this requisition order, that fertile land is yours by sunrise tomorrow.
00:49:12This morning, a lot of people suddenly come to our farm.
00:49:18It's James, Miss Ella, and the mayor.
00:49:21They look really mean.
00:49:23They use big adult words I don't understand.
00:49:26I just see Grandma Ada shaking with anger because they want to trade a barren wasteland
00:49:32for our golden wheat field.
00:49:37Trade?
00:49:38James, do you think I'm an idiot?
00:49:40Not even weeds can grow on that land.
00:49:43Don't waste your breath on her.
00:49:44Quick, pull up the boundary markers and put ours in.
00:49:47This is our land now.
00:49:48Grandma nailed that marker herself.
00:49:50When it falls, my heart hurts so much.
00:49:53You robbers, I'll fight you to the death!
00:49:59Those two guns are so, so close to Grandma's head.
00:50:02For the first time, I realize a hunting rifle isn't scary at all.
00:50:05Mrs. Hanson, calm down, or we'll arrest you for obstructing justice.
00:50:10No!
00:50:11Don't kill my Grandma, no!
00:50:13What's really scary is when others point guns at us.
00:50:23Just sign it, Mrs. Hanson.
00:50:25You don't want this little girl watching you get taken away, do you?
00:50:28Grandma Ada looks at me crying in fear.
00:50:32She closes her eyes and agrees to sign the contract.
00:50:38I grip Grandma's clothes tight.
00:50:41I'm worried she's in danger.
00:50:43I see her eyes turn red, and my heart aches.
00:50:46But I don't know what to do.
00:50:56You old hag!
00:50:58Take this unlucky little stray and get on my property right now!
00:51:02Go eat dirt in that rocky wasteland!
00:51:09We move to the place they call the Rocky Land.
00:51:13There's nothing here but bare rocks and cold wind.
00:51:19Grandma Ada is frowning so hard.
00:51:28This year's harvest is totally ruined, sweetie.
00:51:33We might starve.
00:51:34I see how sad Grandma is, and my heart feels like it's crushed by a rock.
00:51:40But I don't want to make her sadder.
00:51:42I remember Grandma Ada said,
00:51:44As long as there is hope, there's nothing to fear.
00:51:47Don't worry, Grandma.
00:51:48I can grow pretty flowers even in the rocks.
00:51:51I just want to do something.
00:51:53Even if it's just digging a little hole,
00:51:55I believe my luck will definitely help us.
00:51:59Right then, something weird happens.
00:52:02The ground starts shaking violently.
00:52:05I feel the rocks under my feet jumping like they're alive.
00:52:09Danger!
00:52:10Leonis, get out of the way!
00:52:16The ground shakes like a thousand wild horses running under my feet.
00:52:21My feet go numb.
00:52:23I shut my eyes tight, thinking I really messed up and dug up a sleeping demon with my rusty
00:52:29little shovel.
00:52:30I've never seen such a scary and awesome sight.
00:52:33The black liquid shoots up so high and rains down, splashing all over me and Grandma.
00:52:40This weird rain is black and stinky.
00:52:42It sticks to my face and ruins my only clean dress.
00:52:46I look at Grandma nervously, terrified she's going to blow up over this awful prank.
00:52:52But I notice Grandma Ada isn't mad at all.
00:52:55Her weathered face instantly twists into this extreme, almost crazy joy.
00:53:01This isn't muddy water!
00:53:02It's crude oil!
00:53:03It's oil!
00:53:04Thank God!
00:53:05We struck oil!
00:53:07I don't know what oil is, but I can taste Grandma's happy tears.
00:53:12In this black rain, we hug each other so tight,
00:53:19not long after that black rain, a bunch of big shoops come to town.
00:53:24They head straight for this rocky wasteland that even the devil wouldn't look twice at.
00:53:42Congratulations, Mrs. Hanson.
00:53:44Your granddaughter is a true lucky angel.
00:53:48A bunch of guys in expensive suits step out of the cars.
00:53:51They use weird gadgets to dig and measure all over the place.
00:53:58Mr. Sterling!
00:53:59Initial surveys show the most massive, shallow oil field in the entire state is hidden right under here!
00:54:07The value is immeasurable!
00:54:09I don't understand what they're saying, but I see Mr. Sterling pull out a really big piece of paper,
00:54:15with lots and lots of zeros on it.
00:54:18Starting today, an oil company named after you is officially founded.
00:54:22Congratulations, my little black gold tycara!
00:54:25In that moment, I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:54:28Mr. Sterling calls me a black gold tycoon.
00:54:30I don't really get what that means, but he tells me we'll never go hungry again.
00:54:37Mr. Sterling tells me God rewards the good, but also punishes the bad guys who bully us without mercy.
00:54:44Once I use this money to buy off the state senator, I'll get out of this hell hole and be
00:54:50a real big shot in Washington.
00:54:53And he sends the toughest lawyers and cops to find that evil mayor.
00:54:57Those gentlemen in black suits burst right into that room full of lies.
00:55:02Mr. Mayor, this is all the evidence of your corruption, bribery, and abuse of power.
00:55:06You're under arrest.
00:55:07Just like superheroes dropping from the sky in movies.
00:55:11Seeing the bad guy get punished makes me feel so good.
00:55:15This can't be happening!
00:55:16Let go of me, I can give you money!
00:55:18Turns out, there really is justice in this world.
00:55:25Aunt Ella and Uncle James stand on the fertile farm they stole.
00:55:29They look at the rocky land they tossed away like trash,
00:55:32now swarming with rich people.
00:55:34And they are going absolutely crazy with jealousy.
00:55:38Damn it!
00:55:38That land was ours!
00:55:41We threw it away!
00:55:43At least we still have the best wheat field in town.
00:55:46We'll strike it rich in the fall anyway.
00:55:48That little bit of oil they have will probably dry up real soon.
00:55:51Miss Ella is still dreaming of getting rich.
00:55:54But she doesn't know that God's judgment never spares a greedy soul.
00:55:59I see a huge dark cloud flying in.
00:56:04As it gets closer, I realize it's not a cloud at all.
00:56:09It's millions of gross bugs.
00:56:22Noooo!
00:56:23My wheat field!
00:56:25James' screams echo across the empty farm.
00:56:29That golden wheat field is just completely eaten up by the bugs.
00:56:36The bugs eat all the crops.
00:56:38Miss Ellie kneels in the messy mud without a shred of dignity.
00:56:42Like a soulless corpse.
00:56:44Miss Ella cries so hard.
00:56:46She probably doesn't get why God's bugs only ate the fertile wheat field they stole from us.
00:56:51It's all gone!
00:56:53It's all gone!
00:56:55We're bankrupted!
00:57:01A lot of big machines I've never seen before arrive on this rocky land.
00:57:07Mr. Sterling says they'll make us so much money I won't be able to spend it all in a lifetime.
00:57:20So many people are here today, and they're all cheering.
00:57:24I'm so happy because Grandma Ida and I have new clothes on.
00:57:28She takes my hand and we cut the red ribbon.
00:57:34Grandma said flowers planted in rocks bloom brighter than any other.
00:57:39Now, our harsh winter is finally over completely.
00:57:49On this land, we live a peaceful and wealthy life.
00:57:55But I don't know that while we smile in the sun, a venomous snake in the dark is already eyeing
00:58:02us.
00:58:03The news of the oil field attracts someone even greedier than a wild wolf.
00:58:09Forced my downs are too low class.
00:58:11All I need is to snatch Leone's custody.
00:58:14And this oil field is mine.
00:58:17For money and revenge, they sell Grandma Ida and me out.
00:58:27Ida is vulgar and mentally unstable.
00:58:30She carries a hunting rifle everywhere, has violent tendencies, and constantly abuses Leone.
00:58:39Excellent!
00:58:40She's unfit to raise Leone.
00:58:42I'll be taking over her custody.
00:58:45McClain files a petition to change guardianship at the court.
00:58:50Shattering my peaceful life with Grandma Ida.
00:58:55It's a rare, sweet moment.
00:58:57But the screech of brakes shatters the peace.
00:59:01Two bailiffs step out of the car and walk straight up to Grandma Ida.
00:59:05Hello, Mrs. Hanson. We're from the city court.
00:59:08Someone reported you for child abuse and is demanding you hand over Leone's custody.
00:59:11Grandma Ida is stunned.
00:59:13Once she snaps out of it, she loudly protests and swears she never abused any child.
00:59:20I swear on my life, Grandma Ida is the best person in the world!
00:59:25She has never abused me!
00:59:27Sorry, we're just here to notify you.
00:59:29Direct any questions to the hearing next Wednesday.
00:59:31Until then, you are forbidden from transferring any assets under the girl's name.
00:59:36But my promise is useless.
00:59:38Because everything will be decided in court.
00:59:42The hearing proceeds as scheduled.
00:59:44For Grandma Ida and me, this isn't a fair trial at all.
00:59:47It's a brutal, one-sided execution.
00:59:50McClain hired top-sert lawyer Barry with serious cash.
00:59:53While we could only find Mr. Sterling.
00:59:55Mrs. Hanson, do you have any idea how to raise a multi-million dollar girl?
01:00:01Or is your only skill abusing people and feeding pigs?
01:00:04You!
01:00:05Lawyer Barry, you should know that you need to present evidence for your claims.
01:00:09Of course, don't you worry about that.
01:00:11Lawyer Barry uses fancy legal talk to paint Grandma Ida as a violent, ignorant village woman.
01:00:18What's worse, the devil's accomplices take the stand.
01:00:23Your Honor, I saw with my own eyes how Ida forced Leonid to sleep in the barn and eat scraps.
01:00:30You two animals, shut up!
01:00:33Ella, you're crossing the line.
01:00:35James, is this how you treat your own mother?
01:00:37They take every single horrific thing they did to me and pin it all on Grandma Ida, who loves me.
01:00:44Order!
01:00:46If you dare to show contempt of court again, I'll have the bailiffs throw you all in jail instantly!
01:00:52The judge has already been bought off by McClain.
01:00:55He doesn't listen to a word we say.
01:00:57The court leans towards revoking Ada's guardianship, transferring it to McClain's foundation,
01:01:03and sending Leonid to a closed boarding school on the East Coast.
01:01:09A closed school means I'll be totally at McClain's mercy, and our oil wealth will be completely swallowed up.
01:01:16I won't go to school!
01:01:18I don't want to leave Grandma Ida!
01:01:24Everyone holds their breath.
01:01:26The judge is about to strip Grandma Ida of my custody.
01:01:30Whatever is on that paper decides my fate.
01:01:33The bad guy's wicked laughs drill into my ears.
01:01:37Their dirty revenge is about to succeed.
01:01:41Grandma Ida hugs me tight, completely desperate.
01:01:45I glare at those monsters through my tears.
01:01:48I absolutely can't let them take everything from me.
01:01:54I see the massive chandelier crash down, smashing the briefcase next to the judge.
01:02:02Countless papers fly everywhere.
01:02:05Mr. Sterling grabs some key documents.
01:02:08He announces to the courtroom that it's evidence of the judge taking bribes from the sickloom.
01:02:13The proof is solid.
01:02:15All their dirty deals are exposed.
01:02:18Despicable!
01:02:19They ganged up to take Leonie away.
01:02:21But now it's all out in the open.
01:02:22Their plot failed.
01:02:23We're done for.
01:02:24Mr. Sterling calls the police.
01:02:27McClain's plot is completely ruined.
01:02:30And Miss Ella and the others will get what they deserve.
01:02:34McClain.
01:02:36Your dirty money can buy a judge.
01:02:39But it can't buy real justice.
01:02:44The bribed judge is taken away by the police.
01:02:48I finally return to Grandma Ida.
01:02:50And the greedy James and Ella become abandoned pawns.
01:03:07Damn you, Ada.
01:03:09This isn't over.
01:03:11McClain doesn't just let it go.
01:03:13He finds the local mafia.
01:03:15Ready to use violence.
01:03:23Just when we think everything is peaceful again.
01:03:26McClain's revenge hits fast.
01:03:29Way beyond what any of us expected.
01:03:32I'll go check it out.
01:03:34I walk out with Grandma Ada and the others.
01:03:37We see several cars without license cards smash through the farm gate like mad bulls.
01:03:44Completely blocking our escape.
01:03:51They claim McClain sent them.
01:03:53They threaten Grandma Ada to sell the oil field to them dirt cheap.
01:03:57But she refuses to give in.
01:03:58They only give us 10 minutes.
01:04:00After 10 minutes, they'll make their move.
01:04:18Grandma Ada chooses to let Mom Martha hide me in the cellar.
01:04:23While she faces the mafia head on.
01:04:47Give me 10 minutes to think about it.
01:04:55Grandma pretends to give in.
01:04:58Just to keep me safe.
01:05:08Grandma Ada has already decided to fight the mafia to the end.
01:05:14And Dad Arthur asks Sheriff Harry for backup.
01:05:24The mobsters get ready to strike.
01:05:28But Grandma Ada...
01:05:32...is faster.
01:05:36Dammit!
01:05:37They have guns!
01:05:38You scumbags want to steal my granddaughter's land?
01:05:42Get off my property right now or I'll send you to hell!
01:05:52To protect me and our home, Grandma Odd and Dad Arthur get into a shootout with the mob.
01:06:02But nobody knows that two greedy coyotes are sneaking into our defenseless backyard.
01:06:23That bitch Martha took the little bastard in there.
01:06:26This is our best chance.
01:06:28Whether the mob or mother wins, we're dead either way.
01:06:31Catching Leonel is our only leverage.
01:06:42The constant gunshots outside make me super anxious.
01:06:46Just then, the cellar door suddenly opens.
01:06:49Is it Grandma Ada and the others coming back?
01:06:51Grandma Ada?
01:06:58It's you!
01:06:59Get out of here right now!
01:07:01My dear sister Martha, that old hag Ada is busy fighting the mob.
01:07:06Let's see who comes to save you this time.
01:07:09They want to kidnap me, but Mom Martha stands in front of me to protect me.
01:07:18Stop fighting you little brat!
01:07:21You're our cash cow!
01:07:22Ella grabs me, clamping a towel soaked in pungent chemicals tightly over my nose and mouth.
01:07:28Intense busyness instantly pierces my brain.
01:07:30Hurry up!
01:07:31Get her in the sack!
01:07:32We don't have much time!
01:07:33Grandma Ada and the others hide in the cellar to dodge the mob, but...
01:07:41Martha, wake up!
01:07:46Mother Arthur, James and Ella took Leonese.
01:07:53I wake up to find my hands tied to a rotting wooden post.
01:07:56Ella and James are like wolves ready to devour me.
01:07:59Once we get the money, we'll throw you down an abandoned mineshaft to feed the rats!
01:08:04Let's go.
01:08:05We should check the situation outside.
01:08:08They leave, and I'm all alone in the abandoned mine.
01:08:12I'm so scared, but I can't just do nothing.
01:08:14They'll use me to threaten Grandma Ada.
01:08:16I can't let them get away with it.
01:08:18Thank God.
01:08:20The lalt rope falls off on its own.
01:08:23Is that Firefly leading the way for me?
01:08:35The little bitch escaped!
01:08:37Miss Ella quickly notices I'm gone.
01:08:40She and James are searching for me.
01:08:45The harsh light flashes right past my feet.
01:08:48I'm gonna be found.
01:08:50What do I do?
01:08:51Save me, Grandma Ada.
01:08:53Dad!
01:08:56Grandma Ada and the others are trapped.
01:08:59The mob is searching for us.
01:09:02Grandma Ada and Dad Arthur wait for Sheriff Harry,
01:09:06but he doesn't show up because the mob has him pinned down too.
01:09:11It's all my fault.
01:09:13I didn't protect Leonates.
01:09:16Mom lost me, and she feels incredibly guilty.
01:09:24Let's take them down with us.
01:09:30The mob finds Mom Martha and the others.
01:09:42You're out of bullets, right?
01:09:46Say your prayers.
01:09:48But right then, a deafening roar interrupts Victor.
01:09:58Who's this nosy bastard?
01:10:00You got a death wish?
01:10:18Where is my daughter?
01:10:19Leo!
01:10:22Leo needs real father!
01:10:27That tall man, like a god of war, my father Leo, rushes to Grandma anxiously, asking where
01:10:35I am.
01:10:37Grandma Ada blasts the venomous McLean's plant and Ella's shameless kidnapping.
01:10:43Luckily, Sheriff Harry arrives at the scene and quickly takes down the rest of the mobsters.
01:10:51Mrs. Hanson, please forgive me for being late.
01:10:54That mob sent people to block us.
01:10:56Seeing my father alive, Sheriff Harry is so shocked he can barely hold his gun.
01:11:01My father explains he faked his death to carry out a top secret mission.
01:11:05By the way, my men saw Ella and James heading toward the abandoned mine out west.
01:11:10Thank you, Harry.
01:11:18But right now, the blinding flashlight beam pins me down like a viper's tongue.
01:11:24Catch her!
01:11:25She can't get far!
01:11:26I can't let them catch me.
01:11:28That'll just cause more trouble for Grandma Ada.
01:11:31Save me, Dad.
01:11:35Come on!
01:11:36Come on!
01:11:38Come on!
01:11:41Come on!
01:11:42Leone!
01:11:44I run through the tunnel for my life, but those heavy footsteps follow me like a death sentence.
01:11:52James catches up to me quickly.
01:11:54He grabs my hair tight, slams me hard onto the cold, rocky ground, and talks with Miss Ella
01:12:00about breaking my legs.
01:12:02The huge rock is about to smash my legs.
01:12:05I can almost hear my bones breaking.
01:12:07Someone, please save me.
01:12:10Who?
01:12:10Who is it?
01:12:11Do you have any idea who you're messing with?
01:12:16No!
01:12:17Don't kill me!
01:12:18You can take the girl.
01:12:19She's worth an oil field.
01:12:20You'll be rich!
01:12:21I hear Ella's terrified voice in the dark.
01:12:23Did someone save me?
01:12:25No!
01:12:27No!
01:12:37cỡon!
01:12:38Let me explain the story over it!
01:12:41Dad?
01:12:46SSUSUIMAAAAAGH!!
01:12:47Wait Ž
01:12:47It's Dad!
01:12:48He saves me.
01:12:49I knew he wasn't dead.
01:12:51My daughter, Leonith!
01:12:52Dad's embrace is as warm as the midday sun
01:12:56It instantly drives away all the cold and fear in the mine
01:13:01Dad carefully checks me for injuries
01:13:03Luckily, Miss Ella and the others haven't hurt me yet
01:13:07Dad takes me out of the pitch black mine
01:13:10Grandma Ada and the others find us too
01:13:13Grandma Ada checks every inch of me
01:13:16She only relaxes after making sure I'm not hurt
01:13:19Leone, my sweet baby, are you okay?
01:13:25Grandma Ada furiously scolds Miss Ella and James
01:13:29Sheriff Harry arrives and arrests them
01:13:32The bad guys are taken away
01:13:34No! Mother, please forgive me!
01:13:36It's over. It's all over
01:13:39And Dad is finally back
01:13:42I hold Grandma's hand tightly with one hand
01:13:45And grip Dad broad, warm hand with the other
01:13:52Dad promises me he will come back
01:13:54Grandma Ada tells me
01:13:56Dad is going to catch the bad guy
01:13:59The one behind this whole conspiracy
01:14:03Dad tells me to stay here and be good
01:14:06He has to go take care of something
01:14:21Glane messes everything up
01:14:23After finding out Dad's identity
01:14:26He decides to flee immediately
01:14:30Dammit! Why does he have a military background?
01:14:40McLean jumps into his car in a panic
01:14:43But they don't even make it out of the estate gates
01:14:46Get us out of here
01:14:47As fast as you can
01:14:49Now!
01:14:55My dad blocks their way
01:14:57McLean gives the order
01:14:59And the car doesn't slow down
01:15:01They want to run my dad over
01:15:03Facing the speeding beast
01:15:06Dad doesn't panic
01:15:07He calmly pulls out his gun and shoots
01:15:15Dad's perfect breakthrough marksmanship
01:15:18Flip flips the bad guy's car
01:15:21McLean can't escape
01:15:22Don't kill me! I'll give you 10 million!
01:15:25Keep your money
01:15:26You'll need it to buy your way into hell
01:15:31McLean stands in the dock in a prison uniform
01:15:34Totally stripped of his former arrogance
01:15:39Dad not only catches McLean himself
01:15:41But also gathers all the evidence of his crimes
01:15:45No elite lawyer can save him now
01:15:49McLean...
01:15:52Do you have anything to say?
01:15:54No
01:15:55I confess to my crimes
01:15:58In the end
01:15:59McLean is sentenced to life in prison
01:16:02And stripped of all his assets
01:16:15As for Miss Ella and James
01:16:17They get their due punishment too
01:16:2030 years in prison
01:16:22They deserve it
01:16:23All the bad guys are locked up
01:16:26And I finally have my dad back
01:16:28A much better life is waiting for us
01:16:33Dad's hand is so warm
01:16:35And I feel so comfortable right now
01:16:38He promises he'll never leave my side again
01:16:41Tomorrow is Thanksgiving
01:16:43Our family must have a proper celebration
01:16:53The fire cracklers
01:16:54And the smell of roast turkey and pumpkin pie
01:16:58Fills the whole house
01:17:00This is a Thanksgiving dinner
01:17:02I couldn't even dare to dream of
01:17:06Grandma Ada and the family call me their little angel
01:17:09They say they have this life now because of me
01:17:11My dad also thanks 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 my real family for a long time
01:17:38This is the only thing your mom left behind
01:17:40She got separated from her family in a dust storm
01:17:43Her wish was to find them
01:17:44Now I'm passing it on to you
01:17:46Mom
01:17:47I take my mom's belonging
01:17:49And beside me
01:17:50Grandma Ada suddenly freezes
01:17:52As if she's been electrocuted
01:17:57Oh my god
01:17:59Leonie
01:18:00Your mother is my biological daughter
01:18:02Who went missing 30 years ago
01:18:04I gave her this pocket watch
01:18:06You are Margaret's child
01:18:08Nobody saw this coming
01:18:09My mom is actually aide Grandma Ada's daughter
01:18:16I hug Grandma Ade tight
01:18:18No, she's my real grandma
01:18:20She's my actual family
01:18:22Grandma Ada, you're my real grandma
01:18:25Yes, my sweet girl
01:18:27I'm your grandma
01:18:28Forever
01:18:29Thank God
01:18:31We truly are family
01:18:32Not only do I have my dad back
01:18:34But Grandma Ada is my biological grandmother
01:18:37I'm so lucky and so happy
01:18:39Happy Thanksgiving's everyone
01:18:40Let's eat
01:18:46The nightmare is over
01:18:48Thanks to the oil field
01:18:50Everyone in the village can afford to eat
01:18:52And wear warm clothes
01:18:55Dad plays with me everyday
01:18:58I feel like the happiest kid in the world
01:19:02And my grandma Ada
01:19:04She no longer needs her mean disguise
01:19:07She is now the most generous old lady in the whole village
01:19:11Take a break if you're tired
01:19:16Grandma Ada
01:19:20Hi
01:19:21Grandma Ada
01:19:24Oh my
01:19:26My little Leona looks so pretty today
01:19:31Leona needs to go to school in the city
01:19:33I'm taking her there myself
01:19:34Dad, will the city people bully me?
01:19:38Don't worry
01:19:39Dad will protect you
01:19:40I am so incredibly happy now
01:19:43All the misfortunes of the past are gone
01:19:45I feel so blessed because I finally have a home that will never fall apart
01:19:50Neat
01:19:50Do you want to do?
01:19:51Do you want to kill me?
01:19:51I know
01:19:51Don't worry
01:19:52I know
01:19:52We are not
