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.
00:02:52Oh, no crazy man.
00:02:55This is such a terrible snap of a hole.
00:02:55Mm hmm.
00:02:59No.
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,
00:04:35Mrs. 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, my aunt whipped me bloody and threw me out.
00:04:56Turns out, under all that yelling, Mrs. 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, you 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!
00:05:31Miss 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, grabbed me by the neck, and tried to throw me out to
00:05:42the wolves.
00:05:43It hurts!
00:05:44Mrs. Hanson, help me!
00:05:46Please 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 and smashed itself to death
00:05:59against 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.
00:06:18I wanted to repay Mrs. Hanson 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!
00:06:30Heh heh.
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, but Miss Ella bites into a bone and knocks her teeth out.
00:06:55Her mouth is full of blood.
00:06:58Ah!
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!
00:07:29She 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!
00:08:47Even 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.
00:09:13The 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, 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,
00:10:24all 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, my 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 rat!
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, someone is willing to face the backlash for a jinx like me.
00:13:19Ada, you've been a cheap shooter your whole life.
00:13:23You 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 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!
00:14:13Not 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.
00:14:58From this moment on, Leon 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, she trips over nothing.
00:15:20The flour she traded me for is completely blown away by the wind.
00:15:25We're just going to blow up the water.
00:15:25I'm not a microbes.
00:15:25We're just going to blow up the water.
00:15:27We're just going to blow up the water.
00:15:35It's crazy!
00:15:37It's crazy!
00:15:39It's crazy!
00:15:40We're just going to blow up the water.
00:15:48See that?
00:15:50What? God is watching!
00:15:52Leonie, 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, he'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.
00:17:09Mom 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!
00:17:51Come out quick!
00:17:52I broke the ground!
00:17:55Hearing 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!
00:18:12The 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,
00:19:17and now we have to share food with her.
00:19:19Ella, I'm telling you,
00:19:21stay away from them.
00:19:23That Leone 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!
00:19:50Are 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 who 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.
00:20:35But 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.
00:20:45When you get bullied,
00:20:46you fight back.
00:20:47Grandma helps me raise my hand and 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 scurrying around.
00:21:07Grandma Ada is like a massive tree shielding me from the storm.
00:21:11She publicly announces she'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.
00:21:23If you insist on keeping this jinx,
00:21:25we're cutting ties.
00:21:26Fine, I agree.
00:21:28Mom and Dad pull 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, Ella, 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 and 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!
00:22:02Cut ties with them!
00:22:03And your husband's money will be all yours!
00:22:06Do you want Leonise to bring bad luck to you and your baby?
00:22:11Don't forget,
00:22:13her unlucky dad just died in the war!
00:22:16My dad isn't dead!
00:22:18He's coming back!
00:22:20He'll come back and 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 will 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 I 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
00:22:55shatters the silence of the wasteland
00:22:58and traces backwards of us.
00:23:00A car door opens
00:23:01and a tall man covered in metal steps 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!
00:23:19The majestic maid decorated with metals
00:23:22gives me a solemn salute.
00:23:24I thought God heard my prayers
00:23:27and brought Dad back.
00:23:29But that cold purple heart
00:23:31tells me
00:23:32I'll never feel his hug again.
00:23:40Captain Leo protected our country with his life.
00:23:43This honor belongs to him
00:23:44and to his only daughter, Leonie.
00:23:47The major pulls out a 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 and Uncle Thomas
00:24:05pop out of nowhere.
00:24:06One second they want to throw me into the wild
00:24:08and the next they put on fake smiles
00:24:10inside a dragon home.
00:24:12Uncle Thomas grips my arm like an iron vis.
00:24:15I know he doesn't want me.
00:24:17He wants that blood money.
00:24:20Grandma Ada acts like a lioness
00:24:23protecting her cub
00:24:24and rips up my sleeve.
00:24:25Those rotting frostbites and bruises
00:24:28look so layering in the sunlight.
00:24:30Look, sir!
00:24:30Living with these two heartless scumbags,
00:24:33Leonie starves,
00:24:34freezes and gets beaten every 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 it's not true.
00:25:03Bullshit!
00:25:04I saw you buy new leather boots
00:25:06in the city with 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 as a stormy sky.
00:25:18He waves his white-gloved hand
00:25:20and orders their arrest.
00:25:21Uncle Thomas is taken away,
00:25:23but Aunt Grace avoids 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 the thrill
00:25:32of revenge.
00:25:33I just think that maybe justice
00:25:34really does come
00:25:35to this desolate life.
00:25:39I thought with $5,000,
00:25:42my new home would be safe.
00:25:43I never expected trouble
00:25:44to come so fast.
00:25:46Miss Ella bursts through the door
00:25:47and her stare at that pile of cash
00:25:49is even scarier than Aunt Grace's.
00:25:53I'm carrying the only heir
00:25:55to this family.
00:25:56We should get half
00:25:57of 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 to steal money.
00:26:07They're trying to steal
00:26:08my last memory of my dad.
00:26:10Nobody is touching this money,
00:26:12including you.
00:26:14From now on,
00:26:15we live our own lives.
00:26:17Get out of my house!
00:26:19For me,
00:26:20Grandma kicks her 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 on my head.
00:26:35Grandma Ada locks the money
00:26:37in an iron box
00:26:38under the bed.
00:26:39She tells me that money
00:26:41could buy lots of pretty clothes
00:26:43and candy.
00:26:44But my dad traded his life for it,
00:26:47so we can't waste
00:26:48a single penny.
00:26:51Dad's gut-ranking coughs
00:26:53come from the back room.
00:26:56He begs Mom
00:26:57from his sick bed
00:26:58to stop worrying about him
00:27:00and to save
00:27:01the last bite of food
00:27:02for me.
00:27:20The cracked earth
00:27:21in the Blackwood Forest
00:27:22looks like countless mouths
00:27:24laughing 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,
00:27:46I actually find
00:27:47a few heavy,
00:27:48dirty,
00:27:49weird-looking stones.
00:27:54Mom says
00:27:55they'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.
00:28:11Aunt Grace
00:28:12called me a jinx.
00:28:14But now,
00:28:15God himself
00:28:16has delivered dinner
00:28:18to 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 the beginning.
00:28:44I 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.
00:29:09Release
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.
00:29:31But 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 across
00:29:53the room.
00:29:54With Grandma here,
00:29:55no one can bully 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 time
00:30:05I've ever had
00:30:06a 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 smells
00:30:15like pure 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.
00:30:45If we can buy medicine,
00:30:47Papa will be saved.
00:30:50The blowing yellow 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 yet,
00:31:00but these wild 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 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.
00:31:32A 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
00:32:23deadly 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 bang
00:32:37he 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 at 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 hungry
00:33:22wolf.
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 and pray
00:33:34for God 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 at my nose
00:33:47calling me a naive
00:33:48little idiot
00:33:49saying even Jesus
00:33:51couldn't save us now.
00:33:53Stop.
00:33:57I follow
00:33:58everyone's gaze
00:33:59and see two men
00:34:00walking in from the
00:34:01crowd.
00:34:02They dress completely
00:34:03differently from the
00:34:04townsfolk and they
00:34:05look incredibly
00:34:06distinguished.
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
00:34:43family pays 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 deep
00:35:05purple light
00:35:06shines out.
00:35:07Mr. Sterling
00:35:08says
00:35:09it's an extremely rare
00:35:10natural amethyst
00:35:11geog.
00:35:12Mr. Sterling
00:35:13goes crazy.
00:35:14He pulls out
00:35:15a 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 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.
00:35:52She 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
00:36:02takes off
00:36:02his expensive
00:36:03top 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
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
00:37:10farm that 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.
00:37:32I asked who he was.
00:37:33She said it was nothing
00:37:34just someone
00:37:34he used to live with.
00:37:35The old roof shakes
00:37:36the drafty windows
00:37:38crank
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
00:38:02snips the wire fence
00:38:03and sneaks onto our farm.
00:38:22It rained 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
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 the window is broken
00:39:13and 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.
00:39:29Aunt 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 shell
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
00:40:09into the terrestrial rain.
00:40:10The quick line boils
00:40:12on her face.
00:40:13The burning blinds her
00:40:14making her stumble
00:40:16through the mud.
00:40:18Help!
00:40:20Even 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
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
00:40:42gleam scarier
00:40:43than the demons.
00:40:45A locked box!
00:40:46The money must be inside!
00:40:48The 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.
00:41:05Aunt 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 five thousands
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
00:41:51la 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
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.
00:42:05Where'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
00:42:17somewhere worse
00:42:17than hell.
00:42:19Major Evan's
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.
00:42:38Where do you think
00:42:38you're driving,
00:42:39Miss 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
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
00:43:17with sheer contempt.
00:43:18because the real
00:43:19pension money
00:43:20rests safely
00:43:21under the Hanson
00:43:22family's bed.
00:43:27Grandma Ada
00:43:28tells Major Evans
00:43:29the truth
00:43:30and he pries open
00:43:32the heavy padlock
00:43:33with the dagger.
00:43:34With a loud clang
00:43:35Aunt Grace's dream
00:43:37shatters completely.
00:43:48stealing private property.
00:43:50Go join your husband
00:43:52in prison
00:43:52and take her away.
00:44:04My once arrogant
00:44:06aunt and uncle
00:44:07now look like
00:44:09two cornered rabbits
00:44:11facing their
00:44:12final judgment.
00:44:14Grandma doesn't
00:44:15carry her scary
00:44:16shotgun today.
00:44:17She puts me
00:44:19in 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'
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 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.
00:45:00The judge usually
00:45:02looks so mean
00:45:03and everyone
00:45:05is scared of him.
00:45:06But today
00:45:07he bends down
00:45:09and smiles at us.
00:45:10Just like the chubby
00:45:12man in town
00:45:12who loves
00:45:13giving kids candy.
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
00:45:21on me.
00:45:23But now
00:45:24she stinks
00:45:25so bad
00:45:26that even I
00:45:27have to turn
00:45:27my head
00:45:28and pinch
00:45:28my nose.
00:45:30Remember that
00:45:31freezing barn
00:45:32you kicked
00:45:32Leonie 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
00:45:48surround me
00:45:48smiling
00:45:49and 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 again.
00:46:04I used to think
00:46:06this dirt
00:46:06could only grow
00:46:07hard 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
00:46:14pure gold.
00:46:17Grandma laughed
00:46:18so loudly today.
00:46:23Good girl,
00:46:24look.
00:46:25These are all
00:46:25gifts from God.
00:46:27But 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 yells
00:46:36at James.
00:46:37They want this
00:46:38most fertile land
00:46:39in town.
00:46:40Miss Ella looks
00:46:41at me so 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 to us,
00:46:55we'll just take
00:46:55it ourselves.
00:46:57Take it?
00:46:57How?
00:46:58That land is in the name
00:46:59of that little
00:47:00bastard Leonie.
00:47:05Then we'll find a way
00:47:06to switch the deeds.
00:47:08Greedy snakes
00:47:09can never fill
00:47:10their bottomless
00:47:11pit of desire.
00:47:12Blood ties
00:47:13don't bring
00:47:14family love.
00:47:15They just become
00:47:16an excuse to steal.
00:47:22Greedy James
00:47:23brings his dark
00:47:24secrets
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 world.
00:47:39If you secretly
00:47:40give the mayor
00:47:41a special gift,
00:47:42your wishes
00:47:43come true.
00:47:47James uses
00:47:48tobacco
00:47:49and money
00:47:50to trade
00:47:50for the
00:47:50Fertilile farm
00:47:51under my name.
00:48:04James,
00:48:06your appetite
00:48:07is way bigger
00:48:09than your
00:48:10dying brothers.
00:48:23power
00:48:24power
00:48:24completely
00:48:25surrenders
00:48:25to money.
00:48:28The mayor
00:48:29accepts
00:48:30James'
00:48:30gift.
00:48:49Take it, James.
00:48:51With this
00:48:51requisition order,
00:48:52that Fertile land
00:48:53is yours by sunrise
00:48:54tomorrow.
00:49:12This morning,
00:49:13a lot of people
00:49:14suddenly come to our farm.
00:49:18It's James,
00:49:19Miss Ella,
00:49:20and the mayor.
00:49:21They look really mean.
00:49:23They use big adult words
00:49:25I don't understand.
00:49:27I just see Grandma
00:49:28Ada shaking
00:49:29with anger
00:49:29because they want
00:49:30to trade a barren
00:49:31wasteland
00:49:32for our golden
00:49:32wheat field.
00:49:37Trade?
00:49:38James,
00:49:39do you think
00:49:39I'm an idiot?
00:49:40Not even weeds
00:49:41can grow
00:49:42on that land!
00:49:43Don't waste
00:49:43your breath
00:49:43on her!
00:49:44Quick,
00:49:45pull up the
00:49:45boundary markers
00:49:46and put ours in!
00:49:47This is our land now!
00:49:48Grandma nailed
00:49:49that marker herself.
00:49:50When it falls,
00:49:52my heart hurts
00:49:53so much.
00:49:54You robbers!
00:49:55I'll fight you
00:49:56to the death!
00:49:59Those two guns
00:50:00are so, so close
00:50:01to Grandma's head.
00:50:02For the first time,
00:50:03I realize a hunting rifle
00:50:04isn't scary at all.
00:50:05Mrs. Hanson,
00:50:06calm down,
00:50:07or we'll arrest you
00:50:08for obstructing justice.
00:50:10No!
00:50:11Don't kill my Grandma!
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,
00:50:24Mrs. Hanson.
00:50:25You don't want
00:50:26this little girl
00:50:27watching you
00:50:27get taken away,
00:50:28do you?
00:50:28Grandma Ada
00:50:29looks at me
00:50:30crying in fear.
00:50:32She closes her eyes
00:50:33and agrees
00:50:35to sign the contract.
00:50:38I grip Grandma's
00:50:40clothes tight.
00:50:41I'm worried
00:50:41she's in danger.
00:50:43I see her eyes
00:50:44turn red
00:50:45and my heart aches,
00:50:46but I don't know
00:50:47what to do.
00:50:56You old hag!
00:50:58Take this unlucky
00:50:59little stray
00:51:00and get all my property
00:51:01right now!
00:51:02Go eat dirt
00:51:03in that rocky wasteland!
00:51:09We move to the place
00:51:11they call
00:51:12the rocky land.
00:51:13There's nothing here
00:51:14but bare rocks
00:51:15and cold wind.
00:51:19Grandma Ada
00:51:20is frowning 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
00:51:38feels like it's
00:51:38crushed by a rock,
00:51:40but I don't want
00:51:41to make her sadder.
00:51:42I remember
00:51:43Grandma Ada 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
00:51:50even in the rocks.
00:51:50I just want
00:51:51to do something.
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
00:52:03starts shaking violently.
00:52:05I feel the rocks
00:52:06under my feet
00:52:07jumping like they're alive.
00:52:09Danger!
00:52:09Leonis,
00:52:10get out of the way!
00:52:13Ah!
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 me
00:52:39and 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 gonna
00:52:50blow up over this
00:52:51awful prank.
00:52:52But I notice Grandma
00:52:53Ada isn't mad at 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 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
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 big
00:53:22shoops come to town.
00:53:24They head straight
00:53:25for this rocky wasteland
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 right under here.
00:54:07The value is immeasurable.
00:54:09I don't understand
00:54:10what they're saying,
00:54:11but I see Mr. Sterling
00:54:13pull out a really
00:54:14big piece of paper
00:54:15with lots and 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 black gold
00:54:24Tycara.
00:54:25In that moment,
00:54:26I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:54:28Mr. Sterling calls me
00:54:29a black gold Tycone.
00:54:31I don't really get
00:54:32what that means,
00:54:32but he tells me
00:54:33we'll never go hungry again.
00:54:37Mr. Sterling tells me
00:54:39God rewards the good
00:54:41but also punishes
00:54:42the bad guys
00:54:43who bully us
00:54:44without mercy.
00:54:45Once I use this money
00:54:46to buy off
00:54:47the state senator,
00:54:48I'll get out of this
00:54:49hell hole
00:54:50and be a real big shot
00:54:51in Washington.
00:54:52And he sends
00:54:53the toughest lawyers
00:54:55and cops
00:54:56to find that evil mayor.
00:54:57Those gentlemen
00:54:58in black suits
00:54:59burst right into
00:55:00that room full of lies.
00:55:02Mr. Mayor,
00:55:03this is all the evidence
00:55:04of 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 so good.
00:55:15This can't be happening.
00:55:16Let go of me.
00:55:17I 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 fertile farm
00:55:28they stole.
00:55:29They look at the 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 jealousies.
00:55:38Damn it!
00:55:38That land was ours!
00:55:41We threw it away!
00:55:43At least we still have
00:55:44the best wheat field
00:55:45in 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 will probably
00:55:50dry up real soon.
00:55:51Miss Ella
00:55:52is 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
00:56:01flying in.
00:56:04As it gets closer
00:56:06I realize
00:56:07it's not a cloud
00:56:08at all.
00:56:09It's millions
00:56:10of gross bugs.
00:56:21No!
00:56:23My wheat field!
00:56:25James' screams
00:56:27echo across
00:56:27the empty farm.
00:56:29That golden wheat field
00:56:30is just completely
00:56:32eaten up
00:56:33by the bugs.
00:56:36The bugs
00:56:37eat all the crops.
00:56:38Miss Ellie
00:56:39kneels in the messy mud
00:56:40without a shred
00:56:41of dignity
00:56:42like a soulless corpse.
00:56:44Miss Ella
00:56:45cries so hard.
00:56:46She probably
00:56:47doesn't get
00:56:48why God's bugs
00:56:48only ate the fertile
00:56:50wheat field
00:56:50they stole from us.
00:56:52It's gone!
00:56:53It's all gone!
00:56:54We're bankrupted!
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
00:57:42completely.
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
00:58:13Leone's 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 Ida
00:58:22and me out.
00:58:27Ida is vulgar
00:58:28and mentally unstable.
00:58:30She carries a hunting rifle
00:58:32everywhere
00:58:33has violent tendencies
00:58:35and constantly abuses
00:58:37Leone.
00:58:38Excellent!
00:58:40She's unfit
00:58:41to raise Leone.
00:58:42I'll be taking over
00:58:43her custody.
00:58:45McLean files
00:58:46a petition
00:58:47to change
00:58:48guardianship
00:58:49at the court
00:58:50shattering
00:58:50my peaceful life
00:58:52with Grandma Ida.
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 Ida.
00:59:05Hello Mrs. 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
00:59:10Leone's custody.
00:59:11Grandma Ida
00:59:12is stunned.
00:59:13Once she snaps
00:59:14out of it
00:59:15she loudly protests
00:59:17and swears
00:59:17she never abused
00:59:18any child.
00:59:20I swear on my life
00:59:21Grandma Ida
00:59:22is the best person
00:59:24in the world.
00:59:25She has never
00:59:26abused me.
00:59:27Sorry we're just
00:59:28here to 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.
00:59:36But 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 Ida
00:59:45and me
00:59:45this isn't
00:59:46a fair trial
00:59:46at all.
00:59:47It's a brutal
00:59:48one-sided execution.
00:59:50McClane hired
00:59:50top-sert lawyer
00:59:51Barry with
00:59:52serious cash
00:59:53while we could
00:59:54only find
00:59:54Mr. Sterling.
00:59:55Mrs. Hanson
00:59:56do you have
00:59:57any idea
00:59:58how to raise
00:59:58a multi-million
01:00:00dollar girl
01:00:00or is your
01:00:01only skill
01:00:02abusing people
01:00:03and feeding pigs?
01:00:04You!
01:00:05Lawyer Barry
01:00:06you should know
01:00:07that you need
01:00:07to present evidence
01:00:08for your claims.
01:00:09Of course
01:00:09don't you worry
01:00:10about that.
01:00:11Lawyer Barry
01:00:12uses fancy legal talk
01:00:14to paint Grandma Ida
01:00:15as a violent
01:00:16ignorant village woman.
01:00:19What's worse
01:00:19the devil's accomplices
01:00:21take the stand.
01:00:23Your Honor
01:00:23I saw with my own eyes
01:00:25how Ida
01:00:26forced Leonid
01:00:27to sleep in the barn
01:00:28and eat scraps.
01:00:31You two animals
01:00:32shut up!
01:00:33Ella you're crossing
01:00:34the line.
01:00:35James
01:00:35is this how you
01:00:36treat your own mother?
01:00:37They take every
01:00:38single horrific
01:00:40thing they did
01:00:40to me
01:00:41and pin it
01:00:42all on Grandma
01:00:43Ida
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
01:00:51instantly!
01:00:52The judge
01:00:52has 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
01:00:59Ida's guardianship
01:01:00transferring it
01:01:02to McClain's
01:01:03foundation
01:01:03and sending
01:01:04Leonine
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
01:01:12McClain'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
01:01:17I don't want to leave
01:01:19Grandma Ada!
01:01:24Everyone holds
01:01:25their breath
01:01:25The judge
01:01:26is about to strip
01:01:27Grandma Ada
01:01:28of my custody
01:01:29Whatever is on
01:01:30that 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 hugs me tight
01:01:43Completely desperate
01:01:45I glare at those monsters
01:01:47through my tears
01:01:48I absolutely can't let them
01:01:50take everything 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 key 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
01:02:20But 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
01:02:27McQueen's plot
01:02:28is completely ruined
01:02:30and Miss Ella
01:02:31and the others
01:02:32forget what they deserve
01:02:34McQueen
01:02:36Your dirty money
01:02:37can buy a judge
01:02:38but 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
01:03:11McClane 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
01:03:26again
01:03:26McClellan'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 with Grandma Ada
01:03:37and the others
01:03:37We see several cars
01:03:39without license cards
01:03:41smash through the farm gate
01:03:42like mad bulls
01:03:44completely blocking our escape
01:03:51They claim McClane sent them
01:03:53They threaten Grandma Ada
01:03:54to sell the oil field
01:03:55to them dirt cheap
01:03:56but she refuses to give in
01:03:58They only give us 10 minutes
01:04:00After 10 minutes
01:04:02they'll make their move
01:04:18Grandma Ada chooses
01:04:20to let Mom Martha
01:04:21hide me in the cellar
01:04:23while she faces the mafia
01:04:25head on
01:04:47Give me 10 minutes
01:04:48to think about it
01:04:55Grandma pretends to give in

01:07:24soaked in pungent chemicals
01:07:25tightly over my nose
01:07:27and mouth
01:07:27Intense busyness

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

01:08:39She and James
01:08:41are searching for me
01:08:45The harsh light
01:08:46flashes right past

01:09:12I didn't protect
01:09:14Leonades
01:09:16Mom lost me

01:09:49a deafening roar

01:09:58Who's this nosy bastard?
01:10:00You got a death wish?
01:10:08Who's this?
01:10:18Where is my daughter?
01:10:20Leo!
01:10:22Leonie's real father!
01:10:27That tall man
01:10:28like 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

01:10:57Sheriff Harry
01:10:58is so shocked
01:10:59he can barely
01:11:00hold 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
01:11:21flashlight beam
01:11:22pins me down
01:11:22like a viper's tongue
01:11:23Catch 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
01:11:41Leone!
01:11:44I run through
01:11:45the tunnel

01:11:47But those heavy
01:11:48footsteps
01:11:49follow me
01:11:50like a death sentence
01:11:52James catches up
01:11:53to me
01:11:54quickly
01:11:54He grabs my hair
01:11:55tight
01:11:56slams me hard
01:11:57onto the cold
01:11:58rocky ground
01:11:59and talks with
01:12:00Miss Ella
01:12:00about breaking
01:12:01my 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
01:12:07please save me
01:12:10Who?
01:12:10Who is it?
01:12:11Do you have any idea
01:12:12who you're messing with?
01:12:13No!
01:12:15No!
01:12:16No!
01:12:17Don't kill me!
01:12:18You can take the girl
01:12:18She's worth an oil field
01:12:19You'll be rich!
01:12:21I hear Ella's terrified voice
01:12:22in the dark
01:12:23Did someone save me?
01:12:26No!
01:12:28No!
01:12:34No!
01:12:39No!
01:12:41No!
01:12:42No!
01:12:42No!
01:12:42No!
01:12:42No!
01:12:42No!
01:12:42No!
01:12:42No!
01:12:45No!
01:12:47Dad!
01:12:47No!
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
01:12:59and fear
01:13:00in the mine
01:13:01Dad carefully
01:13:02checks me
01:13:03for injuries
01:13:03Luckily
01:13:04Miss Ella
01:13:05and the others
01:13:06haven't hurt me yet
01:13:07Dad takes me
01:13:09out of the
01:13:09pitch black mine
01:13:10Grandma
01:13:11Atta and the others find us too. Grandma Ada checks every inch of me. She only relaxes after
01:13:18making sure I'm not hurt. Leone! My sweet baby, are you okay? Grandma Ada furiously scolds Miss Ella
01:13:28and James. Sheriff Harry arrives and arrests them. The bad guys are taken away. No! Mother,
01:13:35please forgive me! It's over. It's all over. And dad is finally back. I hold grandma's hand tightly
01:13:44with one hand and grip dad broad, warm hand with the other. Dad promises me he will come back.
01:13:55Grandma Ada tells me dad is going to catch the bad guy, the one behind this whole conspiracy.
01:14:03Dad tells me to stay here and be good. He has to go take care of something.
01:14:22Glane messes everything up. After finding out dad's identity, he decides to flee immediately.
01:14:30Dammit! Why does he have a military background?
01:14:40McLean jumps into his car in a panic, but they don't even make it out of the estate gates.
01:14:46Get us out of here. As fast as you can. Now!
01:14:55My dad blocks their way. McLean gives the order. And the car doesn't slow down.
01:15:02They want to run my dad over. Facing the speeding beast, dad doesn't panic. He calmly pulls out his gun
01:15:10and shoots.
01:15:15Dad's perfect breakthrough marksmanship flips the bad guy's car. McLean can't escape.
01:15:22Don't kill me! I'll give you 10 million!
01:15:25Keep your money. You'll need it to buy your way into hell.
01:15:31McLean stands in the dock in a prison uniform, totally stripped of his former arrogance.
01:15:39Dad not only catches McLean himself, but also gathers all the evidence of his crimes.
01:15:46No elite lawyer can save him now.
01:15:51McLean, do you have anything to say?
01:15:54No. I confess to my crimes.
01:15:58In the end, McLean is sentenced to life in prison and stripped of all his assets.
01:16:15As for Miss Ella and James, they get their due punishment too.
01:16:2030 years in prison. They deserve it.
01:16:23All the bad guys are locked up and I finally have my dad back.
01:16:29A much better life is waiting for us.
01:16:33Dad's hand is so warm and I feel so comfortable right now.
01:16:38He promises he'll never leave my side again.
01:16:42Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Our family must have a proper celebration.
01:16:53The fire cracklers and the smell of roast turkey and pumpkin pie fills the whole house.
01:17:00This is a Thanksgiving dinner I 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.
01:17:12My dad also thanks Grandma Ada because she took me in.
01:17:16If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be here today.
01:17:26Even without blood ties, I'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.
01:17:45Now I'm passing it on to you.
01:17:46Mom?
01:17:47I take my mom's belonging and beside me, Grandma Ada suddenly freezes as if she's been electrocuted.
01:17:57Oh my god! Leonie! Your mother is my biological daughter who went missing 30 years ago!
01:18:04I gave her this pocket watch! You are Margaret's child!
01:18:08Nobody saw this coming. My mom is actually Aide Grandma Ada's daughter.
01:18:16I hug Grandma Aide tight. No, she's my real grandma. She's my actual family.
01:18:23Grandma Ada, you're my real grandma!
01:18:25Yes, my sweet girl. I'm your grandma. Forever.
01:18:29Thank God. We truly are family.
01:18:32Not only do I have my dad back, but Grandma Ada is my biological grandmother.
01:18:37I'm so lucky and so happy.
01:18:39Happy Thanksgivings, everyone! Let's eat!
01:18:43Woo!
01:18:46The nightmare is over.
01:18:48Thanks to the oil field, everyone in the village can afford to eat and wear warm clothes.
01:18:55Dad plays with me every day. I feel like the happiest kid in the world.
01:19:02And my Grandma Ada, she 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!
01:19:25Oh my! My little Leona looks so pretty today!
01:19:31Leona needs to go to school in the city. I'm taking her there myself.
01:19:35Dad, will the city people bully me?
01:19:38Don't worry. Dad will protect you.
01:19:40I am so incredibly happy now.
01:19:43All the misfortunes of the past are gone.
01:19:46I feel so blessed because I finally have a home that will never fall apart.
01:19:51Only while I'm worried about your children from calling out the night to drink the tantrum ofري
01:19:52I feel like dying.
01:19:52Lord, thank God.
01:19:52I'm always Schmidt.
