Short filmTranscript
00:00:06I'm Leonie, and I'm seven.
00:00:09The whole town of Oakhaven thinks I'm cursed.
00:00:12I haven't eaten all day.
00:00:15I just stared at the black bread in my aunt's hand.
00:00:26And she whipped me bloody with a thorny vine.
00:00:30What are you looking at?
00:00:32I gave you a soup last, and you still steal food.
00:00:35You! Good-for-nothing leech!
00:00:39Aunt Grace slammed the heavy farm tool right onto me.
00:00:43Stop playing dead!
00:00:44If you don't finish before sunset, forget about dinner!
00:00:47My hands are covered in cuts, and the broken blisters sting interribly.
00:00:52But I have to work, or I'll be thrown out into the wild.
00:00:58Under the scorching sun, I starved and dragged myself to the field.
00:01:02Passing villagers just pointed and whispered.
00:01:05They said Aunt Grace kept all my dad's military pension from the war.
00:01:08But they only pitied me in secret.
00:01:11No one dared to help.
00:01:12Look at the poor thing.
00:01:13Grace is an absolute monster.
00:01:16She spreads rumors that Leonie is the cursed child who brought the dust storms.
00:01:20Good Lord, it breaks my heart.
00:01:23Just then, Mrs. Hannon showed up.
00:01:26She's the meanest, greediest woman in town.
00:01:29Oh, look at this!
00:01:31She just snatched people's seeds.
00:01:32Dirt in Oak Haven is growing its own seeds!
00:01:35Since you don't want them, I'll take them.
00:01:36Ada!
00:01:37You wicked hag!
00:01:38Stealing our seeds?
00:01:39Have you no shame?
00:01:41You dropped them them yourself, and now you're framing me?
00:01:46Mrs. Hannon raised her tool looking so fierce.
00:01:48She scared them away.
00:01:50Mrs. Hanson looked like a wicked witch.
00:01:52Everyone was scared of her.
00:01:54Back off!
00:01:54Don't even think about stealing my seeds!
00:01:56And so was I.
00:01:57I'm sorry, Mrs. Hanson.
00:01:59I'll move over there.
00:02:01But I couldn't run.
00:02:02I had to finish Aunt Grace's work.
00:02:07The sun felt like it was burning a hole in my head.
00:02:10I couldn't hold on anymore.
00:02:13Everything went black, and I crashed into the mud.
00:02:20Hey!
00:02:21You wretched girl!
00:02:34Cold water trickled down my cracked lips.
00:02:37I thought I'd die in that dry mud.
00:02:41But the one who saved me was the meanest, scariest woman in town, Mrs. Hanson.
00:02:56Oh boy!
00:03:03I proud of.
00:03:03What do you want to do with her grave, because of her you?
00:03:06Anotherpreneur фильм.
00:03:07Do you want to do with her who's living in the isthmus.
00:03:09Whatever you want to do with her JAMES, your friends, family and family meeting you began
00:03:16Mrs. Hanson, you dropped your bread.
00:03:18It fell on the ground. I don't want it. It's yours now.
00:03:23I knew she left it just to save me.
00:03:25I held on to that muddy bread tight and prayed,
00:03:28kind people like Mrs. Hanson deserve a reward from God.
00:03:32Right then, Mrs. Hanson accidentally kicked a pile of dead roots,
00:03:36and hidden inside was a massive, golden, dripping wild honeycomb.
00:03:46Mrs. Hanson took her lucky find home.
00:03:49She wanted to save the precious honey for her sick oldest son.
00:03:54Mother, this is too precious.
00:03:56You work so hard every day, you should have it.
00:04:00Are you trying to infuriate me?
00:04:03Arthur can barely breathe from his coughing.
00:04:05Do you want him to meet his mather early?
00:04:09Miss Ella, her second daughter-in-law, is super selfish.
00:04:14Her eyes lit up when she saw the honey, just like a hungry wolf.
00:04:22Arthur's minor lungs are already rotting.
00:04:24It's a waste to give it to him.
00:04:25I'm carrying your only grandson.
00:04:27He needs the nutrition way more.
00:04:32Stop!
00:04:34Mrs. Hanson and Miss Martha stormed out in a rage.
00:04:38But right as she crossed the threshold,
00:04:40Mrs. Hanson tripped over a dark figure in the corner.
00:04:44Curled up in the freezing corner was a ragged, bloody figure.
00:04:48It was me.
00:04:49My God, Leoneni!
00:04:52Why are you covered in blood out here?
00:04:57Since I didn't finish the work,
00:04:59my aunt whipped me bloody and threw me out.
00:05:02Turns out, under all that yelling,
00:05:04Mrs. Hanson's had the only kind heart in town.
00:05:09Grace is a wicked, heartless witch!
00:05:11What a bastard!
00:05:15Why did you come to my house anyway?
00:05:18Out of all the houses in the village,
00:05:19you were I and my honey, weren't you?
00:05:21No, Mrs. Hanson.
00:05:23It's because I know you're a good person.
00:05:32Don't be scared, Leonie.
00:05:34Stay with us tonight and I'll take you back in the morning.
00:05:36Oh my gosh!
00:05:37Miss Martha let me stay?
00:05:39Is this real?
00:05:40No!
00:05:41I don't agree!
00:05:42Get out!
00:05:43But Miss Ella called me a freeloaner.
00:05:46Grabbed me by the neck and tried to throw me out to the wolves.
00:05:49It hurts!
00:05:51Mrs. Hanson, help me!
00:05:53Please don't throw me out!
00:05:54I'll do anything!
00:05:56I struggled in despair, wanting so badly to live.
00:05:59Right then, a massive 200-pound wild boar charged like crazy
00:06:04and smashed itself to death against the courtyard wall.
00:06:12Because of the famine, everyone in town only ever ate hard black bread.
00:06:17But tonight we had delicious roast pork.
00:06:20Sweet Miss Martha gave me the best piece of meat.
00:06:22I didn't want to eat it.
00:06:24I wanted to repay Mrs. Hanson for keeping me warm.
00:06:27But just as she went to take her first bite,
00:06:31something weird happened.
00:06:33Get lost, you begging little stray!
00:06:35You don't belong here!
00:06:53Miss Ella, I'm sorry.
00:06:56I won't eat it.
00:06:57You can have it all.
00:06:58I don't know why, but Miss Ella bites into a bone and knocks her teeth out.
00:07:02Her mouth is full of blood.
00:07:05Miss Ella is furious she didn't get to eat the meat.
00:07:08But there's nothing she can do.
00:07:10She just leaves in a rage.
00:07:19Leon, you are a good girl.
00:07:23It's morning.
00:07:24Miss Martha takes me home.
00:07:25As soon as we reach the gate,
00:07:27I see Aunt Grace throwing all my things out.
00:07:30She's kicking me out right in front of all the neighbors.
00:07:32Throw all this trash out!
00:07:33Don't bring bad luck into our house!
00:07:35She says my dad is dead and the military won't send any more subsidies.
00:07:48Auntie, please don't kick me out!
00:07:50I'll work harder!
00:07:52I won't eat!
00:07:52I won't sleep!
00:07:53I'm begging you!
00:07:56Get lost!
00:07:57You cursed brat!
00:07:58You killed your own father!
00:07:59Stay away from us!
00:08:02Aunt Grace wants to kick me out.
00:08:04I cry and hug her leg, terrified that dad won't find me when he comes back.
00:08:09She heartlessly kicks me away, grabs a thorny stick, and whips me hard on the back.
00:08:13I run out of the house into the cornfield, and I run and run.
00:08:23Miss Martha rushes over to protect, but Aunt Grace violently shoves her away.
00:08:27Back off!
00:08:28Mind your own business.
00:08:43Take this dead man's trash and go straight to hell!
00:08:54Even with the glass cutting my fingers and blood pouring out, I desperately gather the pieces.
00:09:00I have to put the photo back together.
00:09:05Stop it!
00:09:07Stop it!
00:09:09A thunderous roar really comes from the back of the crowd.
00:09:19Stop it!
00:09:20The thunderous roar shocks everyone.
00:09:24The burly Sheriff Harry violently shoves my aunt away.
00:09:28He drops to one knee in the mud and lifts my bloody body.
00:09:32Mr. Carter, tell me my dad isn't dead.
00:09:34They're just lying to me, right?
00:09:36I beg him in despair, but looking at my mangled hands, Mr. Carter painfully closes his eyes.
00:09:43In that moment, the last bit of hope in my heart completely dies.
00:09:48Dad really isn't coming back.
00:09:54Leone is the child of a hero!
00:09:56How dare you treat her like this?
00:09:57She's a jinx.
00:09:59I won't let her pass her bad luck to my son.
00:10:01She's getting out of my house today.
00:10:03Aunt Grace doesn't just want to kick me out.
00:10:06She wants to steal the farm and house Dad left me.
00:10:09And my own Uncle Thomas just guiltily hides behind his wife, not even daring to look at me.
00:10:15My wife is right.
00:10:17We have a son to raise, too.
00:10:20Mr. Carter takes off his hat and humbly begs the villagers to each chip in a little food to raise
00:10:25me together.
00:10:26But those neighbors, who once received favors from my dad, all make excuses about having no extra food.
00:10:34They even suggest sending me to the workhouse in the city.
00:10:38In that moment, I feel like a dirty rag tossed away by the world.
00:10:42With red eyes, Mr. Carter drags me toward his carriage.
00:10:47I click frantically, digging my nails deep into the dirt, my face covered in blood and tears.
00:10:53No! I don't want to go to the workhouse!
00:10:55I want to wait for Dad right here!
00:10:57Please don't send me away!
00:11:00Just as I'm about to be stuffed into the carriage,
00:11:03I see a skinny but determined figure burst through the crowd.
00:11:07It's Miss Martha.
00:11:08Enough!
00:11:10Nobody is taking her away!
00:11:11I'm going to adopt Leonie!
00:11:13She snatches me back, ignoring everything else,
00:11:17and holds me tight in her warm embrace.
00:11:25I hide in Miss Martha's warm arms like a drowning cat.
00:11:29Even though Mr. Carter sighs and says the workhouse will feed me,
00:11:34I still grip Miss Martha's clothes tightly.
00:11:37She's the last bit of light I can hold on to.
00:11:41Miss Martha, I'll be good.
00:11:45I'll eat less and work more from now on.
00:11:48I promise to treat Leonie like my own child.
00:11:50As long as I have a bite to eat, she won't starve!
00:11:53How bizarre.
00:11:54Someone actually wants to raise this jinx.
00:11:57Martha, I suggest you prepare a coffin for your sick husband first.
00:12:01Right then, Miss Ella, heavily pregnant, suddenly stormed out.
00:12:05Martha!
00:12:06Are you insane?
00:12:08She's just a freeloading jinx!
00:12:10Where on earth do we have the money to raise a stray?
00:12:13Everyone is saying Mrs. Hanson will kick me out.
00:12:16Martha, your family has no extra money or food either.
00:12:20Your mother-in-law will probably just throw her out again tomorrow.
00:12:24You gutter rats!
00:12:27Is talking trash behind people's backs all you're good for in this life?
00:12:31Mrs. Hanson shows up with a dark scowl.
00:12:34Everyone expects her to throw me back into the wild.
00:12:37But the next second, a crisp slap echoes out and the whole yard falls dead silent.
00:12:50You idiot!
00:12:51Don't think being pregnant makes you untouchable.
00:12:54How dare you come out here spewing lies!
00:12:56Now, get your ass back home now!
00:13:06Taking Leonie in was my call.
00:13:09Anyone else got something to say?
00:13:11I'll shatter your bones with this pole!
00:13:16Mrs. Hanson's words hit like a bombshell.
00:13:19She's actually taking me.
00:13:21Turns out, even in this freezing world,
00:13:23someone is willing to face the backlash for a jinx like me.
00:13:27Ada, you've been a cheap shooter your whole life.
00:13:31You hoard rusty nails.
00:13:33But now you're raising a stray?
00:13:35They're dirt poor.
00:13:36Bet they'll trade her for rations?
00:13:38She's a hero's kid!
00:13:40You'll rot in jail for this!
00:13:41Cowards!
00:13:42When Officer Harry begged for food, it was crickets.
00:13:45Now I step up, and suddenly you've all got an opinion?
00:13:48You want her?
00:13:49Take her!
00:13:50No?
00:13:51Then shut your mouths!
00:13:54Listen up, Leonie.
00:13:55You'll be cold, hungry, and working your fingers to the bone.
00:13:59Can you handle that?
00:14:01I can!
00:14:03I'll wash clothes, gather wood, and take care of Mr. Arthur.
00:14:06When I'm older, I swear I'll make it up to you!
00:14:09All right, then.
00:14:10From now on, I'm your grandma, and Martha is your mom.
00:14:15Grandma!
00:14:18Mom!
00:14:21Not so fast!
00:14:22You want the kid?
00:14:24You owe me rations for my trouble!
00:14:26Are you crazy, Grace?
00:14:28You just refused to take her!
00:14:30You can't shake Ada down for food now!
00:14:31The orphanage is free!
00:14:33But a private adoption?
00:14:37That's a deal.
00:14:38Five pounds of premium flour.
00:14:40Not an ounce less, or she stays put.
00:14:51I was terrified Mrs. Hanson would back out.
00:14:54Five pounds of flour just for me?
00:14:56That's a whole month's worth of bread for a family.
00:14:58Fine!
00:14:59Deal!
00:15:00What?
00:15:01Ada actually agreed?
00:15:03We're writing a contract to cut all ties right here.
00:15:06From this moment on, Leon has nothing to do with you two animals.
00:15:10Dead or alive, we go our separate ways.
00:15:14Fine by me!
00:15:15Who wants this jinx anyway?
00:15:17Thomas, go write up the contract!
00:15:22Just as Aunt Grace smugly carries the flour inside, she trips over nothing.
00:15:28The flour she traded me for is completely blown away by the wind.
00:15:57See that?
00:15:58God is watching!
00:16:00Leonie, let's go home!
00:16:02For the first time, the cramped cabin feels warm from the fire.
00:16:07Mrs. Hanson curses the whole time, calling the thick wool blanket Miss Martha spent three
00:16:12months knitting a piece of junk, but she tosses it right into my arms.
00:16:16This junk is stiff and stinky!
00:16:19Hurry up and make a bed for this unlucky brat, and don't get my floor dirty!
00:16:25Grandma Ada calls that beautiful wool blanket junk, but she has sick Mr. Arthur tuck me in with it.
00:16:32In this moment, I finally have a home.
00:16:36Thank you, Grandma.
00:16:38Thank you, Mom.
00:16:42Thank you, Mr. Arthur.
00:16:45Mr. Arthur tells me to call him Dad.
00:16:47He says until my real dad comes back, he'll protect me with his life.
00:16:51I'm finally not an unwanted kid anymore.
00:16:59Good Lord!
00:17:01How could that wicked woman do this?
00:17:04Martha, go sell my wool coat.
00:17:08Use the money to build up her strength.
00:17:10To buy me meat.
00:17:11Dad even wants to sell his winter coat.
00:17:13Grandma slams the table and stops him, because without it, Dad won't survive the winter.
00:17:18Mom cries and says the doctor told them a natural hot spring could turn Dad's health around.
00:17:24But in Oak Haven, where it hasn't rained in three years, that's impossible.
00:17:29Don't be scared, Dad.
00:17:30I'll pray to the angels.
00:17:31You're going to get better.
00:17:35I pray to the angels with all my heart.
00:17:38I give up ten years of my life for Dad's health.
00:17:41I run to the back hill, wanting to do more chores for the family.
00:17:46With a loud pop, I easily pull a deep-rooted stump right out of the ground.
00:17:52Then, a blast of hot, wet steam shoots into the sky like a giant dragon.
00:17:58Grandma, Mom, come out quick.
00:18:01I broke the ground.
00:18:04Hearing my scream, Grandma Ad rushes over first.
00:18:08I think I broke the earth and caused a huge disaster.
00:18:13But when she touches the boiling water with trembling hands, she laughs and cries like a kid.
00:18:19It's hot.
00:18:20The water is hot.
00:18:22It's a natural hot spring.
00:18:46A hot spring.
00:18:47It's a real hot spring.
00:18:51Arthur.
00:18:52My son.
00:18:53The doctor said a hot spring could save your lungs.
00:18:57You're saved.
00:18:58Mom hugs me tight and kisses my face in excitement.
00:19:02She says I'm an angel sent by God.
00:19:04It turns out I'm not unwanted trash.
00:19:06I can be someone's salvation, too.
00:19:10But when I happily return to the yard, I'm greeted by two icy faces.
00:19:16Miss Ella and Aunt Grace are whispering together.
00:19:19Their glares pierce my heart like poison swords.
00:19:23What rotten luck.
00:19:25We're already too poor to eat, and now we have to share food with her.
00:19:28Ella, I'm telling you, stay away from them.
00:19:32That Leone brings nothing but bad luck.
00:19:40But remembering bad, spent all his money on medicine.
00:19:43I can't bear to see this family tear itself apart over me.
00:19:48Miss Ella, please don't be mad.
00:19:50I won't fight for anything.
00:19:52I'll help take care of the baby, and I won't eat the good food.
00:19:58Liar!
00:19:59Are you going to let her pass her bad luck to your son?
00:20:02Her curse will kill your son!
00:20:05Pete!
00:20:12Get lost!
00:20:13Don't touch me with your dirty hands!
00:20:26Aunt Grace screams that I'm a monster who kills families, pushing Miss Ella to attack me.
00:20:32Just as I try to beg again, Ella winds up and slaps me hard across the face.
00:20:41My face, my face burns like it's on fire.
00:20:45But I don't cry.
00:20:47Grandma Ada told me, if I'm bullied and oppressed, I have to fight back.
00:20:52Leone, you are a child of this house.
00:20:55When you get bullied, you fight back.
00:20:57Grandma helps me raise my hand and aim at Aunt Grace, who's waiting for a laugh.
00:21:03The stone hits her shoulder dead end.
00:21:05Ouch!
00:21:06My shoulder's hurt!
00:21:07Help!
00:21:07I watch Aunt Grace run away.
00:21:10She used to seem like a giant fence to me.
00:21:13But now, she looks like a panicked gray rat scurrying around.
00:21:18Grandma Ada is like a massive tree shielding me from the storm.
00:21:22She publicly announces she's cutting ties with Miss Ella.
00:21:25Leone is my chosen granddaughter!
00:21:27She's no jinx!
00:21:28Mother!
00:21:29Your real grandson is right here!
00:21:31Arthur is a cripple, and Martha can't have kids!
00:21:34If you insist on keeping this jinx, we're cutting ties.
00:21:37Fine, I agree!
00:21:38Mom and Dad pull Grandma's sleeves,
00:21:40begging her not to act rashly.
00:21:43But she firmly refuses.
00:21:45As long as this toxic woman, Ella, is around,
00:21:49our family will never have a normal life!
00:21:52I'm kicking this wicked woman out today!
00:21:56Cutting ties is no big deal.
00:21:58But get the best house and the biggest part of the farm!
00:22:02Done!
00:22:04You can have it!
00:22:06Just get out of my sight!
00:22:08Ella, don't hesitate!
00:22:12Cut ties with them!
00:22:13And your husband's money will be all yours!
00:22:17Do you want Leonise to bring bad luck to you and your baby?
00:22:22Don't forget, her unlucky dad just died in the war!
00:22:27My dad isn't dead!
00:22:28He's coming back!
00:22:30He'll come back and make you pay!
00:22:33Stop dreaming!
00:22:34He was blown to ashes long ago!
00:22:37You won't even find his bones!
00:22:39Leonise's bad luck will drag the whole town down!
00:22:43Just watch!
00:22:44Soon you won't even have mud to eat!
00:22:46I'm not a jinx!
00:22:48Grandma Ada says I brought good luck!
00:22:52You're a bad person!
00:22:54Get out of my house!
00:22:59Aunt Grace's laughter suddenly stops as the roar of an engine for the steel monster
00:23:06shatters the silence of the wasteland and traces baffles across the house.
00:23:10The car door opens and a tall man covered in metal steps out.
00:23:15I don't even need to see his face.
00:23:17The pounding in my blood give gives me the answer.
00:23:20Dad!
00:23:22Dad!
00:23:29The majestic maid decorated with metals gives me a solemn salute.
00:23:35I thought God heard my prayers and brought Dad back.
00:23:39But that cold purple heart tells me I'll never feel his hug again.
00:23:50Captain Leo protected our country with his life.
00:23:53This honor belongs to him and to his only daughter, Leonie.
00:23:58The major pulls out a thick paper bag.
00:24:00Inside is $5,000 for my dad's military pension.
00:24:05I don't know how much that is, but I hear the adult saying it could buy a mountain of bread
00:24:10covered in sugar and jam.
00:24:13Aunt Grace and Uncle Thomas pop out of nowhere.
00:24:17One second they want to throw me into the wild, and the next they put on fake smiles inside
00:24:21a drag me home.
00:24:23Uncle Thomas grips my arm like an iron fist.
00:24:26I know he doesn't want me.
00:24:27He wants that blood money.
00:24:31Grandma Ada acts like a lioness protecting her cub and rips up my sleeve.
00:24:36Those rotting frostbites and bruises look so layering in the sunlight.
00:24:40Look, sir, living with these two heartless scumbags, Leonie starves, freezes, and gets beaten
00:24:45every single day.
00:24:46It's absolutely heartbreaking.
00:24:54You.
00:24:57How dare you treat a hero's only daughter like an animal?
00:25:03Aunt Grace is still lying.
00:25:05She points at my bloody wounds and lies with a straight face that I fell while playing.
00:25:09But I see the neighbors shaking their heads.
00:25:12They all know it's not true.
00:25:14Bullshit!
00:25:15I saw you buy new leather boots in the city with the military pay while you made this
00:25:19poor kid gnaw on spoiled potato peels in the snow.
00:25:21Yeah!
00:25:22She even locked the kid in the barn to beat her!
00:25:24We all heard the screams!
00:25:26The Major's face is as dark as a stormy sky.
00:25:29He waves his white-gloved hand and orders their arrest.
00:25:32Uncle Thomas is taken away, but Aunt Grace avoids arrest because she has a baby to take care of.
00:25:40Watching the jeep drive away, I don't feel the thrill of revenge.
00:25:44I just think that maybe justice really does come to this desolate life.
00:25:51I thought with $5,000, my new home would be safe.
00:25:54I never expected trouble to come so fast.
00:25:57Miss Ella bursts through the door, and her stare at that pile of cash is even scarier than
00:26:02Aunt Grace's.
00:26:04I'm carrying the only heir to this family.
00:26:07We should get half of that $5,000.
00:26:10James keeps his head down.
00:26:12For money, he doesn't even dare look at his sick brother.
00:26:16They aren't trying to steal money.
00:26:18They're trying to steal my last memory of my dad.
00:26:21Nobody is touching this money, including you!
00:26:25From now on, we live our own lives.
00:26:28Get out of my house!
00:26:29For me, Grandma kicks her own son out of the house.
00:26:33She rubs my head and says,
00:26:36As long as she's here,
00:26:38no one will touch a single hair on my head.
00:26:47Grandma Ada locks the money in an iron box under the bed.
00:26:51She tells me that money could buy lots of pretty clothes and candy.
00:26:56But my dad traded his life for it,
00:26:59so we can't waste a single penny.
00:27:03Dad's gut-ranking coughs come from the bathroom.
00:27:08He begs Mom from his sickbed to stop worrying about him
00:27:12and to save the last bite of food for me.
00:27:31The cracked earth in the Blackwood Forest
00:27:34looks like countless mouths laughing at our poverty.
00:27:37Starving people have stripped away
00:27:39every chewable piece of tree bark in this hell hole.
00:27:42Mom leans on her stick,
00:27:44wandering the wasteland in despair.
00:27:46Just as Mom is about to collapse,
00:27:50I trip hard over a tree root.
00:27:52In the flying dust,
00:27:58I actually find a few heavy,
00:28:00dirty, weird-looking stones.
00:28:05Mom says they're useless rocks
00:28:08and tells me to throw them away.
00:28:10But right as she reaches out,
00:28:12something weird happens again.
00:28:17The festwick dies on the spot
00:28:19and rolls right to Mom's feet.
00:28:23Aunt Grace called me a jinx.
00:28:25But now,
00:28:27God himself has delivered dinner to me.
00:28:39Mom is finally smiling.
00:28:42When she smiles,
00:28:44the wrinkles around her eyes look like pretty flowers.
00:28:47If good luck is real,
00:28:49I want to give it all to the people who treat me well.
00:28:55But this is just the beginning.
00:28:57I actually dig up some lumpy white roots from the dirt
00:29:01that smell amazing.
00:29:04Mom says they're wild mushrooms.
00:29:06They smell so good.
00:29:08I don't know what they are,
00:29:10but Mom says we can sell them for money,
00:29:12so they must be good.
00:29:15Golden grease bubbles in the pan.
00:29:18The white mushrooms Mom sliced.
00:29:22Release an incredible, mind-blowing smell in the heat.
00:29:26Even bed-roan Papa Arthur can't help but sit up.
00:29:36You're clearly an angel bringing good luck,
00:29:38yet they call you a witch-bringing disaster.
00:29:41What a bunch of blind idiots.
00:29:43But the smell brings trouble, too.
00:29:46Miss Ella bursts in,
00:29:47drooling so much it almost drips into our pot.
00:29:51She points to the air in her belly
00:29:53and demands the biggest bowl of meat.
00:29:57This time, Grandma Ada doesn't even look back.
00:30:01The heavy, bloody meat clobber in her hand
00:30:04just flies across the room.
00:30:06With Grandma here, no one can bully us.
00:30:08Take one more step into my yard
00:30:10and I'll chop your feet off.
00:30:11Get lost!
00:30:16This is the first time I've ever had a full stomach.
00:30:19I don't have to shiver in a freezing haystack
00:30:22and no one is pulling my hair.
00:30:25I eat the delicious chicken
00:30:26and the air smells like pure happiness.
00:30:46Papa Arthur says his lungs feel warm and he can finally breathe easier.
00:30:52Mom says those white mushrooms we found will definitely sell for a good price.
00:30:58If we can buy medicine, Papa will be saved!
00:31:03The blowing yellow sand can't hide how run down the market is.
00:31:07Mom and I huddle in a corner,
00:31:09carefully laying out those lumpy white roots.
00:31:12I don't know it yet,
00:31:13but these wild mushrooms are called white gold on the tables of rich city folks.
00:31:18And then she started begging her cousin Mark.
00:31:22She kept pulling on his sleeve and crying.
00:31:26Oh, I'm sorry.
00:31:27She wanted Mark uncle to get Thomas out of jail.
00:31:37Mark is impatiently trying to push her away.
00:31:40Then he notices us in the corner.
00:31:45A Aunt Grace blames me for all her tragedies.
00:31:52Leone!
00:31:53You're the reason my life is ruined!
00:32:00Aunt Grace's face is uglier than dead bark in the Blackwood Forest.
00:32:05For the $5,000, she brought her bully cousin Mark,
00:32:09who works at the town hall.
00:32:12They stare at Mom and me like starving wolves.
00:32:17Mom and I guard our stall.
00:32:20It's our only hope to buy Papa's medicine.
00:32:28But Mark comes right up and kicks our basket over.
00:32:32Mark yells like crazy in the market,
00:32:35framing us for selling deadly poisonous mushrooms.
00:32:37Right in front of everyone,
00:32:39he crushes the white mushrooms we worked so hard to find,
00:32:43just like stepping on trash.
00:32:45Mark grabs the gray stones I've found,
00:32:47calling us money-hungry scammers.
00:32:49With a loud bang,
00:32:50he smashes the rocks onto the ground.
00:32:53The sound of them breaking
00:32:54is the sound of my heart breaking.
00:32:57The crowd believes Mark.
00:32:59They point at us,
00:33:00calling us shameless.
00:33:02Their insults almost drown Mom and me.
00:33:04We're not scamming anyone.
00:33:07These really aren't poisonous mushrooms.
00:33:10That's not true.
00:33:12We're not lying.
00:33:16Mark doesn't care about poisonous mushrooms at all.
00:33:19He just wants the $5,000 Papa left us.
00:33:23He threatens Mom like a snake,
00:33:25saying if we don't pay protection money,
00:33:28he'll make us disappear from Oak Haven for good.
00:33:31To protect my life-saving money,
00:33:33Mom firmly rejects this hungry wolf.
00:33:36But it brings devastating revenge.
00:33:39Mark goes crazy.
00:33:40He flips our stall
00:33:42and crushes the white mushrooms
00:33:43that could save Papa Arthur into mud.
00:33:46I scream and pray for God
00:33:48to punish these bad people.
00:33:50But all I get is Aunt Grace's piercing cacker!
00:33:53You bad people!
00:33:55God is watching!
00:33:56He will definitely punish you!
00:33:58She points at my nose,
00:34:00calling me a naive little idiot,
00:34:03saying even Jesus couldn't save us now.
00:34:06Stop!
00:34:11I follow everyone's gaze
00:34:13and see two men walking in from the crowd.
00:34:15They dress completely differently from the townsfolk,
00:34:19and they look incredibly distinguished.
00:34:28What the hell are you blind idiots doing?
00:34:33The old man with glasses kneels in the mud,
00:34:36holding the crushed pieces.
00:34:38His hands are shaking worse than dead leaves in autumn.
00:34:40I can feel how angry and heartbroken he is.
00:34:43At the time,
00:34:44I still didn't know
00:34:45just how precious those crushed white mushrooms were.
00:34:52You fool!
00:34:54These are top-grade white struffles
00:34:56that even the royal family pays a fortune to find!
00:34:59And you crush them?
00:35:01Mark's face instantly drained of color,
00:35:03too terrified to speak.
00:35:05Meanwhile,
00:35:06Mr. Sterling,
00:35:07with his leopard cane,
00:35:08slowly walks toward the gray stones
00:35:11Aunt Grace smashed.
00:35:13In that moment,
00:35:14I think the sun fell into the stone.
00:35:16Beneath the dull gray surface,
00:35:18a dreamy, deep purple light shines out.
00:35:21Mr. Sterling says,
00:35:23it's an extremely rare,
00:35:24natural amethyst geog.
00:35:26Mr. Sterling goes crazy.
00:35:28He pulls out a thick stack of hundred-dollar bills,
00:35:31enough to buy half the town,
00:35:33and shoves it into Mom's hands.
00:35:34He says he'd give his entire fortune
00:35:37to buy all the trash stones I found.
00:35:39Seeing things go bad,
00:35:44Mark and Aunt Grace try to sneak away
00:35:46into the crowd like cowards.
00:35:48But the two men in black suits
00:35:51grab them by the collars
00:35:52and throw them hard
00:35:54into a filthy, stinking mud puddle.
00:36:01Mom's hands are shaking so much,
00:36:03she can barely hold
00:36:04the heavy stack of cash.
00:36:06She can't believe
00:36:07the rotten mushrooms
00:36:08and broken stones
00:36:09I casually picked up
00:36:11in the Blackwood Forest
00:36:12are actually worth more than gold.
00:36:15Mr. Sterling takes off
00:36:17his expensive top hat.
00:36:18He says,
00:36:19I'm an angel blessed by God.
00:36:21The villagers who used to point
00:36:23and gloss up
00:36:24are all shocked silent
00:36:26by this massive fortune.
00:36:29You just found these lying around?
00:36:31Good Lord,
00:36:33this child is absolutely
00:36:34a reincarnated angel.
00:36:36Only someone blessed by God
00:36:38could have such unbelievable luck.
00:36:40Mr. Sterling,
00:36:41I think we have an obligation
00:36:43to help this child
00:36:44get the compensation she deserves
00:36:45and make these scumbags
00:36:47face their punishment.
00:36:49The well-dressed lawyer
00:36:50steps forward.
00:36:51He calculates our damages
00:36:53at $3,500.
00:36:56That's an astrosnomical price.
00:36:58Enough to buy
00:36:59the whole town of Oakhaven.
00:37:01Mark doesn't want
00:37:03to pay the compensation.
00:37:04He tries to run towards
00:37:06a speeding coal train
00:37:07to hop on
00:37:08and escape.
00:37:12The bodyguard quickly
00:37:13drags him back from the train
00:37:15and pins him in the mud.
00:37:16He can't run anymore.
00:37:17The sheriff arrives
00:37:19and tells Aunt Grace
00:37:19that if she doesn't get
00:37:20the money together
00:37:21in 48 hours,
00:37:22she'll not only hand over
00:37:23Papa's farm that she stole,
00:37:25but she'll also rot in jail
00:37:26for the rest of her life.
00:37:34Late at night in Oakhaven,
00:37:36the wind tears at the ground
00:37:37like a mad beast.
00:37:38The old roof shakes,
00:37:39the drafty windows creak,
00:37:40but in the flickering light
00:37:41of the carousel lamp,
00:37:42Aunt Grace is scarier
00:37:43than the storm.
00:37:44I found a picture today,
00:37:45a man in a uniform.
00:37:46I asked who he was.
00:37:47She said it was nothing,
00:37:48just someone who used
00:37:49to live here.
00:37:50The old roof shakes,
00:37:52the drafty windows crink,
00:37:54the $3,500 collection notice
00:37:57chokes her like a noose.
00:38:00Instead of repenting,
00:38:01Aunt Grace just stares
00:38:02at the document
00:38:03with the red thumbprint,
00:38:04plotting to steal
00:38:05the blood-soaked dushin money
00:38:07under Grandma Ada's bed.
00:38:09Lightning flashes,
00:38:11lighting up Aunt Grace's
00:38:13soaked face.
00:38:14She raises cold plizers,
00:38:17snips the wire fence,
00:38:18and sneaks onto our farm.
00:38:36It rains so hard that night.
00:38:39The noise keeps me awake.
00:38:41I get up for a drink of water,
00:38:44having no idea danger is so close.
00:38:55The wind is so strong outside.
00:38:59I'm afraid the rain
00:39:00will ruin the wood floor,
00:39:01so I drag a big iron bucket over
00:39:04and force the window shut tight.
00:39:06I think closing the window
00:39:08will keep the storm out,
00:39:09but I don't notice
00:39:11the old frame is rotten.
00:39:13The second I turn around,
00:39:15Aunt Grace pries it open.
00:39:25I don't know the window is broken
00:39:27and might fall if opened again.
00:39:30Aunt Grace risks her life
00:39:32for that money.
00:39:33She squeezes inside,
00:39:35scraping the skin
00:39:37right off her waist.
00:39:39The metal clangs loudly
00:39:42in the dead of night.
00:39:43Aunt Grace flails
00:39:45like a funny puppet,
00:39:46desperately trying to grab something
00:39:49to steady herself.
00:39:50Please don't fall.
00:39:51But she grabs a wobbly shelf.
00:40:01Grandma Ada taught me
00:40:03that quick live boils
00:40:04like a kettle when it hits water.
00:40:07Aunt Grace screams so miserably,
00:40:10but
00:40:12she wouldn't be hurt
00:40:13if she didn't sneak in
00:40:14through the window at midnight.
00:40:20Aunt Grace screams,
00:40:22smashes through the back door,
00:40:23and plunges into the terrestrial rain.
00:40:26The quick line boils on her face.
00:40:28The burning blinds her,
00:40:30making her stumble through the mud.
00:40:35Even the farm dog avoids that stinky pit.
00:40:38Aunt Grace used to call me a smelly beggar,
00:40:41but now,
00:40:42even the skunk living in the pit
00:40:44is disgusted by her.
00:40:47Aunt Grace crawls out of the cesspool,
00:40:49her mind still obsessed with the money.
00:40:52When she finds the heavy,
00:40:54locked metal box in the junk pile,
00:40:56her burned eyes
00:40:58beamed scarier than the demons.
00:41:00A locked box!
00:41:01The money must be inside!
00:41:13The smell of gunpowder
00:41:14overpowers the rain,
00:41:16and Grandma Ada's furious shout
00:41:18tears through the night.
00:41:20Aunt Grace actually
00:41:21hits the gas
00:41:22through a hail of bullets.
00:41:24In the pouring rain,
00:41:27Aunt Grace laughs
00:41:27like a dying maniac
00:41:29in a speeding truck.
00:41:35This 5,000s is all mine!
00:41:37She hugs the metal box
00:41:38to her chest,
00:41:40thinking she holds
00:41:41all the wealth in the world
00:41:42and has finally beaten everyone.
00:41:47Grandma Ada holds her shotgun,
00:41:50anxious to chase her.
00:41:51I stand barefoot in the mud
00:41:54and gently tug her wet shirt
00:41:55to remind her.
00:41:56Uncle Thomas told me before
00:41:58that whenever it storms,
00:41:59the wooden bridge over there
00:42:01floods completely.
00:42:10The truck in the storm
00:42:12is like a wild beast out of control.
00:42:14I.E. Grace screams madly in the cab.
00:42:17When she sees the river
00:42:18completely swallowing the bridge,
00:42:19she falls into total despair.
00:42:27The crash shatters the rain.
00:42:29Aunt Grace doesn't die,
00:42:31but she lands somewhere worse than hell.
00:42:34Major Evans' military-restricted zone.
00:42:38Money.
00:42:40Money.
00:42:41My money.
00:42:42A dozen black Thompson
00:42:43submachine guns
00:42:45aim right at her head.
00:42:47The Major steps forward
00:42:49in his raincoat
00:42:50with a cold face.
00:42:52I told you not to flee.
00:42:53Where do you think
00:42:54you're driving, Ms. Grace?
00:43:02It's over.
00:43:04It's all over.
00:43:08The stench from the truck
00:43:10is more nauseating
00:43:11than a rotting corpse
00:43:12in the Black Forest.
00:43:14It's the smell of cesspooled water
00:43:16mixed with Aunt Grace's bleed.
00:43:18Even as the MPs drag her
00:43:20into the mud,
00:43:21she clings to the heavy metal box.
00:43:23While Aunt Grace dreams
00:43:25of being rich,
00:43:26Grandma Ada arrives with me
00:43:28on her roaring tractor.
00:43:30Grandma looks at Aunt Grace
00:43:31in the mud
00:43:32and laughs with sheer contempt
00:43:34because the real pension money
00:43:36rests safely
00:43:37under the Hanson family's bed.
00:43:43Grandma Ada tells Major Evans
00:43:45the truth
00:43:46and he pries open
00:43:47the heavy padlock
00:43:48with the daggers.
00:43:50With a loud clank,
00:43:52Aunt Grace's dream
00:43:53shatters completely.
00:43:53for the gang.
00:44:04Stealing private property.
00:44:06Go join your husband
00:44:07in prison.
00:44:08Take her away.
00:44:21My once arrogant aunt
00:44:23and uncle
00:44:24now look like
00:44:25two cornered rabbits
00:44:27facing their final judgment.
00:44:30Grandma doesn't carry
00:44:31her scary shotgun today.
00:44:34She puts me in a new lace dress
00:44:36and holds my hand
00:44:38and holds my hand,
00:44:39stepping into the light
00:44:40like a guardian angel.
00:44:41This is all on you!
00:44:42Uncle Thomas' mental defenses
00:44:43completely break down
00:44:45and he roars at Aunt Grace.
00:44:47Facing 20 years in prison,
00:44:49he doesn't hesitate
00:44:50to sign his name.
00:45:00The gavel bangs down hard.
00:45:03The judge declares
00:45:04that the farm
00:45:05and all the wealth
00:45:06Dad left me
00:45:07are finally back
00:45:09in my hands.
00:45:10The judge usually looks
00:45:19so mean
00:45:20and everyone
00:45:21is scared of him.
00:45:23But today,
00:45:24he bends down
00:45:25and smiles at us.
00:45:27Just like the chubby man
00:45:28in town
00:45:29who loves giving kids candy.
00:45:33Aunt Grace used to
00:45:35plug her nose,
00:45:36disgusted by the
00:45:37moldy barn smell on me.
00:45:40But now,
00:45:41she stinks so bad
00:45:42that even I
00:45:43have to turn my head
00:45:44and pinch my nose.
00:45:46Remember that
00:45:47freezing barn
00:45:48you kicked Leonie into
00:45:49on that stormy day?
00:45:51From today on,
00:45:53that broken barn
00:45:54is yours.
00:45:55The guards
00:45:56can't stand
00:45:57Aunt Grace's
00:45:58sour stench.
00:45:59They drag her out
00:46:00and her screams
00:46:01echo through the hall.
00:46:03The adults surround me,
00:46:05smiling and calling me
00:46:07a lucky little angel.
00:46:09But I don't care.
00:46:10All I know
00:46:11is that Grandma's
00:46:12hand-holding mind
00:46:13is big and warm
00:46:14and no one
00:46:15will ever force me
00:46:17into a freezing barn again.
00:46:21I used to think
00:46:22this dirt
00:46:23could only grow
00:46:24hard rocks
00:46:24and starved bugs.
00:46:26Only today
00:46:27do I realize
00:46:28it can grow
00:46:29so much wheat
00:46:30that looks like
00:46:30pure gold.
00:46:34Grandma laughed
00:46:35so loudly today.
00:46:40Good girl,
00:46:41look.
00:46:41These are all
00:46:42gifts from God.
00:46:44That neither of us
00:46:45notices Miss Ella
00:46:46staring at me.
00:46:47She looks exactly
00:46:48like Aunt Grace
00:46:49used to
00:46:50when she wanted
00:46:51to hit me.
00:46:52Miss Ella yells
00:46:53at James.
00:46:54They want this
00:46:55most fertile land
00:46:56in town.
00:46:57Miss Ella looks
00:46:58at me so fiercely
00:46:59as if she wants
00:47:00to rush over
00:47:01and eat me alive.
00:47:09If that damn
00:47:10old hack
00:47:10won't give it to us,
00:47:12we'll just take it
00:47:12ourselves.
00:47:13Take it?
00:47:14How?
00:47:15That land
00:47:16is in the name
00:47:16of that little
00:47:16bastard Leonie.
00:47:21Then we'll find
00:47:22a way to switch
00:47:23the deeds.
00:47:25Greedy snakes
00:47:25can never fill
00:47:26their bottomless pit
00:47:28of desire.
00:47:29Blood ties
00:47:30don't bring
00:47:31family love.
00:47:32They just become
00:47:33an excuse
00:47:34to steal.
00:47:39Greedy James
00:47:40brings his
00:47:41dark secrets
00:47:42and knocks
00:47:43on the back
00:47:43door of power
00:47:44just like
00:47:45a sewer rat.
00:47:51I only learn
00:47:52later that
00:47:53there's a scary
00:47:54magic in the
00:47:54adult world.
00:47:56If you secretly
00:47:57give the mayor
00:47:58a special gift,
00:47:59your wishes
00:48:00come true.
00:48:04James uses
00:48:06tobacco and
00:48:06money to trade
00:48:07for the
00:48:08fertilile farm
00:48:08under my name.
00:48:21James,
00:48:23your appetite
00:48:25is way bigger
00:48:26than your
00:48:27dying brother's.
00:48:40power completely
00:48:42surrenders to
00:48:43money.
00:48:45The mayor
00:48:46accepts
00:48:47James' gift.
00:49:06take it, James.
00:49:08With this
00:49:08requisition order,
00:49:09that fertile land
00:49:10is yours by sunrise
00:49:12tomorrow.
00:49:29This morning,
00:49:30a lot of people
00:49:32suddenly come to
00:49:33our farm.
00:49:35It's James,
00:49:37Miss Ella,
00:49:38and the mayor.
00:49:39They look really
00:49:40mean.
00:49:41They use big adult
00:49:42words I don't
00:49:43understand.
00:49:44I just see
00:49:45Grandma Ada
00:49:46shaking with anger
00:49:47because they want
00:49:48to trade a
00:49:48barren wasteland
00:49:49for our
00:49:50golden wheat field.
00:49:54Trade?
00:49:55James,
00:49:56do you think
00:49:56I'm an idiot?
00:49:57Not even weeds
00:49:58can grow on that
00:49:59land.
00:50:00Don't waste
00:50:00your breath
00:50:01on her.
00:50:02Quick,
00:50:02pull up the
00:50:02boundary markers
00:50:03and put ours in.
00:50:04This is our land
00:50:05now.
00:50:05Grandma nailed
00:50:06that marker
00:50:07herself.
00:50:07When it falls,
00:50:09my heart hurts
00:50:10so much.
00:50:11You robbers!
00:50:13I'll fight you
00:50:13to the death!
00:50:16Those two guns
00:50:17are so,
00:50:18so close to
00:50:18Grandma's head.
00:50:19For the first time,
00:50:20I realize a hunting
00:50:21rifle isn't scary
00:50:22at all.
00:50:23Mrs. Hanson,
00:50:24calm down,
00:50:24or we'll arrest
00:50:25you for obstructing
00:50:26justice.
00:50:27No!
00:50:28Don't kill
00:50:29my Grandma!
00:50:30No!
00:50:30What's really
00:50:31scary is when
00:50:32others point
00:50:32guns at us.
00:50:40Just sign it,
00:50:42Mrs. Hanson.
00:50:43You don't want
00:50:43this little girl
00:50:44watching you
00:50:45get taken away,
00:50:45do you?
00:50:46Grandma Ada
00:50:47looks at me
00:50:47crying in fear.
00:50:49She closes her
00:50:50eyes and agrees
00:50:52to sign the contract.
00:50:56I grip Grandma's
00:50:57clothes tight.
00:50:58I'm worried
00:50:59she's in danger.
00:51:00I see her eyes
00:51:01turn red,
00:51:02and my heart
00:51:03aches,
00:51:04but I don't
00:51:05know what to do.
00:51:13You old hag!
00:51:15Take this
00:51:16unlucky little stray
00:51:17and get all
00:51:18my property
00:51:18right now!
00:51:19Go eat dirt
00:51:20in that rocky
00:51:21wasteland!
00:51:27We move to
00:51:28the place
00:51:29they call
00:51:29the Rocky Land.
00:51:31There's nothing
00:51:32here but bare
00:51:32rocks and
00:51:33cold wind.
00:51:37Grandma Ada
00:51:38is frowning
00:51:39so hard.
00:51:46This year's
00:51:47harvest is
00:51:48totally ruined,
00:51:50sweetie.
00:51:50We might starve.
00:51:52I see how sad
00:51:54Grandma is,
00:51:54and my heart
00:51:55feels like it's
00:51:56crushed by a rock,
00:51:58but I don't want
00:51:59to make her sadder.
00:52:00I remember
00:52:00Grandma Ada
00:52:01said,
00:52:02as long as
00:52:03there is hope,
00:52:03there's nothing
00:52:04to fear.
00:52:05Don't worry,
00:52:05Grandma.
00:52:06I can grow
00:52:07pretty flowers
00:52:07even in the rocks.
00:52:08I just want
00:52:09to do something.
00:52:11Even if it's
00:52:12just digging
00:52:12a little hole,
00:52:13I believe my luck
00:52:14will definitely
00:52:15help us.
00:52:17Right then,
00:52:18something weird
00:52:19happens.
00:52:20The ground
00:52:21starts shaking
00:52:22violently.
00:52:23I feel the rocks
00:52:24under my feet
00:52:25jumping like
00:52:25they're alive.
00:52:26Danger!
00:52:27Leonis,
00:52:28get out of the way!
00:52:30What is this?
00:52:34The ground
00:52:35shakes like
00:52:36a thousand
00:52:37wild horses
00:52:38running under
00:52:38my feet.
00:52:39My feet go numb.
00:52:41I shut my eyes
00:52:42tight thinking
00:52:43I really messed up
00:52:44and dug up
00:52:44a sleeping demon
00:52:45with my rusty
00:52:47little shovel.
00:52:48I've never seen
00:52:49such a scary
00:52:50and awesome sight.
00:52:51The black liquid
00:52:52shoots up so high
00:52:54and rains down
00:52:55splashing all over
00:52:57me and grandma.
00:52:58This weird rain
00:52:59is black and stinky.
00:53:00It sticks to my face
00:53:02and ruins my
00:53:03only clean dress.
00:53:05I look at grandma
00:53:06nervously,
00:53:07terrified she's
00:53:08going to blow up
00:53:09over this awful
00:53:10prank.
00:53:10But I notice
00:53:11grandma Ada
00:53:12isn't mad at all.
00:53:13Her weathered face
00:53:14instantly twists
00:53:15into this extreme
00:53:17almost crazy joy.
00:53:19This isn't muddy
00:53:19water!
00:53:20It's crude oil!
00:53:21It's oil!
00:53:22Thank God
00:53:23we struck oil!
00:53:25I don't know
00:53:26what oil is
00:53:27but I can taste
00:53:28grandma's happy tears.
00:53:30In this black rain
00:53:32we hug each other
00:53:33so tight.
00:53:37Not long after
00:53:38that black rain
00:53:39a bunch of
00:53:40big shoops
00:53:41come to town.
00:53:42They head straight
00:53:44for this rocky
00:53:44wasteland
00:53:45that even the devil
00:53:47wouldn't look
00:53:47twice at.
00:54:01congratulations
00:54:01Mrs. Hanson
00:54:02your granddaughter
00:54:04is a true
00:54:04lucky angel.
00:54:06A bunch of guys
00:54:07in expensive suits
00:54:08step out of the cars.
00:54:09They use weird gadgets
00:54:11to dig and measure
00:54:12all over the place.
00:54:16Mr. Sterling
00:54:17initial surveys
00:54:19show
00:54:19the most massive
00:54:21shallow oil field
00:54:22in the entire state
00:54:24is hidden
00:54:25right under here.
00:54:26The value
00:54:26is immeasurable.
00:54:28I don't understand
00:54:29what they're saying
00:54:30but I see
00:54:30Mr. Sterling
00:54:31pull out
00:54:32a really big
00:54:33piece of paper
00:54:33with lots
00:54:35and lots
00:54:35of zeros
00:54:36on it.
00:54:37Starting today
00:54:37an oil company
00:54:39named after you
00:54:39is officially founded.
00:54:40Congratulations
00:54:41my little
00:54:41black gold
00:54:42Tycara.
00:54:43In that moment
00:54:44I feel like
00:54:45I'm dreaming.
00:54:46Mr. Sterling
00:54:47calls me
00:54:47a black gold
00:54:48Tycone.
00:54:49I don't really
00:54:50get what that means
00:54:51but he tells me
00:54:51we'll never
00:54:52go hungry again.
00:54:56Mr. Sterling
00:54:57tells me
00:54:57God rewards
00:54:59the good
00:54:59but also punishes
00:55:00the bad guys
00:55:01who bully us
00:55:02without mercy.
00:55:03Once I use
00:55:04this money
00:55:04to buy off
00:55:05the state senator
00:55:06I'll get out
00:55:07of this hell hole
00:55:08and be a real
00:55:09big shot
00:55:10in Washington.
00:55:11He sends
00:55:12the toughest
00:55:13lawyers
00:55:13and cops
00:55:14to find
00:55:15that evil mayor.
00:55:16Those gentlemen
00:55:16in black suits
00:55:17burst right
00:55:18into that room
00:55:19full of lies.
00:55:20Mr. Mayor
00:55:21this is all
00:55:22the evidence
00:55:22of your corruption
00:55:23bribery
00:55:23and abuse of power.
00:55:25You're under arrest.
00:55:26Just like superheroes
00:55:27dropping from the sky
00:55:29in movies.
00:55:30Seeing the bad guy
00:55:31get punished
00:55:31makes me feel
00:55:32so good.
00:55:33This can't be happening
00:55:34let go of me
00:55:35I can give you money
00:55:37Turns out
00:55:38there really is
00:55:39justice in this world.
00:55:44Aunt Ella
00:55:45and Uncle James
00:55:46stand on the
00:55:46fertile farm
00:55:47they stole.
00:55:48They look at
00:55:48the rocky land
00:55:49they tossed away
00:55:50like trash
00:55:51now swarming
00:55:52with rich people
00:55:53and they are going
00:55:54absolutely crazy
00:55:56with jealousy.
00:55:56Damn it!
00:55:57That land
00:55:58was ours!
00:55:59We threw it away!
00:56:02At least we still
00:56:03have the best
00:56:03wheat field in town.
00:56:04We'll strike it rich
00:56:05in the fall anyway.
00:56:07That little bit of oil
00:56:08they have
00:56:08will probably dry up
00:56:09real soon.
00:56:10Miss Ella
00:56:10is still dreaming
00:56:12of getting rich
00:56:13but she doesn't know
00:56:14that God's judgment
00:56:16never spares
00:56:17a greedy soul.
00:56:18I see a huge
00:56:19dark cloud
00:56:20flying in.
00:56:23As it gets closer
00:56:25I realize
00:56:26it's not a cloud
00:56:27at all.
00:56:28It's millions
00:56:29of gross bugs.
00:56:44James' screams
00:56:45echo across
00:56:46the empty farm.
00:56:48That golden wheat field
00:56:49is just completely
00:56:51eaten up by the bugs.
00:56:55The bugs eat
00:56:56all the crops.
00:56:57Miss Ellie
00:56:58kneels in the messy
00:56:59mud without a shred
00:57:00of dignity.
00:57:01like a soulless corpse.
00:57:03Miss Ella
00:57:04cries so hard.
00:57:05She probably
00:57:06doesn't get
00:57:07why God's bugs
00:57:08only ate a fertile
00:57:09wheat field
00:57:09they stole from us.
00:57:11God!
00:57:12It's all God!
00:57:14We're bankrupt!
00:57:16Ah!
00:57:17Ah!
00:57:18Ah!
00:57:18Ah!
00:57:20Ah!
00:57:21Ah!
00:57:22Ah!
00:57:24Ah!
00:57:27Ah!
00:57:28Ah!
00:57:30Ah!
00:57:30Ah!
00:57:31Ah!
00:57:34Ah!
00:57:35Ah!
00:57:35Ah!
00:57:36Ah!
00:57:36Ah!
00:57:37Ah!
00:57:38Ah!
00:57:39Ah! Ah!
00:57:42they're all cheering. I'm so happy because Grandma Ida and I have new clothes on. She
00:57:49takes my hand and we cut the red ribbon. Grandma said flowers planted in rocks bloom brighter
00:57:57than any other. Now, our harsh winter is finally over completely. On this land, we live a peaceful
00:58:11and wealthy life. But I don't know that while we smile in the sun, a venomous snake in the
00:58:20dark is already eyeing us. The news of the oil field attracts someone even greedier than
00:58:27a wild wolf. Forced my downs are too low class. All I need is to snatch Leone's custody, and
00:58:35this oil field is mine. For money and revenge, they sell Grandma Ida and me out. Ida is vulgar
00:58:48and mentally unstable. She carries a hunting rifle everywhere, has violent tendencies, and
00:58:55constantly abuses Leone. Excellent! She's unfit to raise Leone. I'll be taking over her custody.
00:59:04McClain files a petition to change guardianship at the court, shattering my peaceful life with
00:59:12Grandma Ida. It's a rare, sweet moment, but the screech of brakes shatters the peace. Two
00:59:21bailers step out of the car and walk straight up to Grandma Ida. Hello Mrs. Hanson, we're from the
00:59:26city court. Someone reported you for child abuse and is demanding you hand over Leone's custody.
00:59:31Grandma Ida is stunned. Once she snaps out of it, she loudly protests and swears she never abused any
00:59:38child. I swear on my life, Grandma Ida is the best person in the world! She has never abused me!
00:59:47Sorry, we're just here to notify you. Direct any questions to the hearing next Wednesday. Until then,
00:59:52you are forbidden from transferring any assets under the girl's name.
00:59:55But my promise is useless, because everything will be decided in court.
01:00:02The hearing proceeds as scheduled. For Grandma Ida and me, this isn't a fair trial at all. It's a brutal,
01:00:08one-sided execution. McClain hired top clerk lawyer Barry with serious cash, while we could only find Mr.
01:00:15Sterling. Mrs. Hanson, do you have any idea how to raise a multi-million dollar girl? Or is your
01:00:22only skill abusing people and feeding pigs? You! Lawyer Barry, you should know that you need to
01:00:27present evidence for your claims. Of course, don't you worry about that. Lawyer Barry uses fancy legal
01:00:33talk to paint Grandma Ida as a violent, ignorant village woman. What's worse, the devil's accomplices
01:00:41take the stand? Your honor, I saw with my own eyes how Ada forced Leonid to sleep in the barn
01:00:48and eat
01:00:49scraps. You two animals, shut up! Ella, you're crossing the line. James, is this how you treat your own
01:00:57mother? They take every single horrific thing they did to me and pin it all on Grandma Ada, who loves
01:01:04me.
01:01:04Order! If you dare to show contempt of court again, I'll have the bailiffs throw you all in jail instantly!
01:01:12The judge has already been bought off by McClain. He doesn't listen to a word you say. The court leans
01:01:18towards revoking Ada's guardianship, transferring it to McClain's foundation, and sending Leonid to a
01:01:26closed boarding school on the east coast. A closed school means I'll be totally at McClain's mercy,
01:01:33and our oil wealth will be completely swallowed up. I won't go to school! I don't want to leave Grandma
01:01:39Ada!
01:01:44Everyone holds their breath. The judge is about to strip Grandma Ada of my custody. Whatever is on that
01:01:51paper, decides my fate. The bad guys' wicked laughs drill into my ears. Their dirty revenge is about to
01:02:01succeed. Grandma Ada hugs me tight, completely desperate. I glare at those monsters through my tears.
01:02:09I absolutely can't let them take everything from me.
01:02:14I see the massive chandelier crash down, smashing the briefcase next to the judge. Countless papers
01:02:23fly everywhere. Mr. Sterling grabs some key documents. He announces to the courtroom that
01:02:30it's evidence of the judge taking bribes from the sickloom. The proof is solid. All their dirty deals
01:02:37are exposed. Despicable! They ganged up to take Leonid away. But now it's all out in the open.
01:02:43Their plot fails. We're done for. Mr. Sterling calls the police. McClain's plot is completely ruined,
01:02:51and Miss Ella and the others will get what they deserve. McClain, your dirty money can buy a judge,
01:03:00but it can't buy real justice.
01:03:05The bribe judge is taken away by the police. I finally return to Grandma Ada, and the greedy James
01:03:12and Ella become abandoned pawns.
01:03:28Damn you Ada. This isn't over. McClain doesn't just let it go. He finds the local mafia, ready to use
01:03:37violence. Just when we think everything is peaceful again, McClellan's revenge hits fast, way beyond
01:03:51what any of us expected. I'll go check it out. I walk out with Grandma Ada and the others. We
01:03:59see
01:03:59several cars without license cards smashed through the farm gate like mad bulls, completely blocking our
01:04:06escape. They claim McClain sent them. They threaten Grandma Ada to sell the oil field to them dirt
01:04:17cheap, but she refuses to give in. They only give us 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, they'll make their move.
01:04:39Grandma Ada chooses to let Mom Martha hide me in the cellar while she faces the mafia head-on.
01:05:08Give me 10 minutes to think about it.
01:05:14Give me 10 minutes to think about it.
01:05:16Grandma. Grandma pretends to give in, just to keep me safe.
01:05:29Grandma Ada has already decided to fight the mafia to the end, and Dad Arthur asks Sheriff Harry for backup.
01:05:45Grandma Ada. The mobsters get ready to strike. But Grandma Ada is faster.
01:05:57Damn it! They have guns! You scumbags want to steal my granddaughter's land? Get off my property right now, or
01:06:05I'll send you to hell!
01:06:13To protect me and our home, Grandma Odd and Dad Arthur get into a shootout with the mob.
01:06:23But nobody knows that two greedy coyotes are sneaking into our defenseless backyard.
01:06:45That bitch Martha took the little bastard in there. This is our best chance.
01:06:50Whether the mob or mother wins, we're dead either way. Catching Leonel is our only leverage.
01:07:04The constant gunshots outside make me super anxious. Just then, the cellar door suddenly opens.
01:07:11Is it Grandma Ada and the others coming back? Grandma Ada?
01:07:20It's you! Get out of here right now!
01:07:22My dear sister Martha, that old hag Ada is busy fighting the mob. Let's see who comes to save you
01:07:29this time.
01:07:30They want to kidnap me, but Mom Martha stands in front of me to protect me.
01:07:40Stop fighting, you little brat! You're our cash cow!
01:07:43Ella grabs me, clamping a towel soaked in pungent chemicals tightly over my nose and mouth.
01:07:49Intense busyness instantly pierces my brain.
01:07:52Hurry up! Get her in the sack! We don't have much time!
01:07:55Grandma Ada and the others hide in the cellar to dodge the mob, but...
01:08:02Martha, wake up!
01:08:08Mother Arthur, James and Ella took Leonese.
01:08:14I wake up to find my hands tied to a rotting wooden post.
01:08:18Ella and James are like wolves ready to devour me.
01:08:21Once we get the money, we'll throw you down an abandoned mine shaft to feed the rats!
01:08:26Let's go. We should check the situation outside.
01:08:30They leave, and I'm all alone in the abandoned mine.
01:08:33I'm so scared, but I can't just do nothing. They'll use me to threaten Grandma Ada. I can't let them
01:08:39get away with it.
01:08:40Thank God. The lalt rope falls off on its own.
01:08:44Is that firefly leading the way for me?
01:08:57The little bitch escaped!
01:08:59Miss Ella quickly notices I'm gone.
01:09:01She and James are searching for me.
01:09:06The harsh light flashes right past my feet.
01:09:10I'm gonna be found. What do I do?
01:09:13Save me, Grandma Ada. Dad!
01:09:18Grandma Ada and the others are trapped.
01:09:21The mob is searching for us.
01:09:24Grandma Ada and Dad Arthur wait for Sheriff Harry, but he doesn't show up because the mob has him pinned
01:09:31down too.
01:09:32It's all my fault. I didn't protect Leonades.
01:09:38Mom lost me, and she feels incredibly guilty.
01:09:46Let's take them down with us.
01:09:52The mob finds Mom Martha and the others.
01:10:05You're out of bullets, right?
01:10:08Say your prayers.
01:10:10But right then, a deafening roar interrupts Victor.
01:10:20Who's this nosy bastard?
01:10:22You got a death wish?
01:10:38Where is my daughter?
01:10:42Leo!
01:10:44Leonie's real father!
01:10:49That tall man, like a god of war, my father Leo, rushes to Grandma anxiously, asking where I am.
01:10:59Grandma Ada blasts the venomous McLean's plant and Ella's shameless kidnapping.
01:11:05Luckily, Sheriff Harry arrives at the scene and quickly takes down the rest of the mobsters.
01:11:13Mrs. Hanson, please forgive me for being late. That mob sent people to block us.
01:11:19Seeing my father alive, Sheriff Harry is so shocked he can barely hold his gun.
01:11:24My father explains he faked his death to carry out a top secret mission.
01:11:28By the way, my men saw Ella and James heading toward the abandoned mine out west.
01:11:33Thank you, Harry.
01:11:41But right now, the blinding flashlight beam pins me down like a viper's tongue.
01:11:46Catch her! She can't get far!
01:11:49I can't let them catch me.
01:11:51That'll just cause more trouble for Grandma Ada.
01:11:54Save me, Dad.
01:12:07I run through the tunnel for my life, but those heavy footsteps follow me like a death sentence.
01:12:15James catches up to me quickly. He grabs my hair tight, slams me hard onto the cold, rocky ground,
01:12:22and talks with Miss Ella about breaking my legs. The huge rock is about to smash my legs.
01:12:28I can almost hear my bones breaking. Someone, please save me.
01:12:33Who? Who is it? Do you have any idea who you're messing with?
01:12:39No! Don't kill me! You can take the girl. She's worth an oil field. You'll be rich!
01:12:43I hear Ella's terrified voice in the dark. Did someone save me?
01:13:04Dad?
01:13:10It's Dad. He saves me. I knew he wasn't dead.
01:13:14My daughter, Leonith.
01:13:16Dad's embrace is as warm as the midday sun. It instantly drives away all the cold and fear in the
01:13:24mine. Dad carefully checks me for injuries. Luckily, Miss Ella and the others haven't hurt me yet.
01:13:30Dad takes me out of the pitch black mine. Grandma Otta and the others find us too. Grandma Ada checks
01:13:38every
01:13:38inch of me. She only relaxes after making sure I'm not hurt.
01:13:43Leonie! My sweet baby, are you okay?
01:13:48Grandma Ada furiously scolds Miss Ella and James. Sheriff Harry arrives and arrests them. The bad
01:13:56guys are taken away. No! Mother, please forgive me! It's over. It's all over.
01:14:03And Dad is finally back. I hold Grandma's hand tightly with one hand and grip Dad broad, warm hand with
01:14:11the other.
01:14:16Dad promises me he will come back. Grandma Ada tells me Dad is going to catch the bad guy.
01:14:23The one behind this whole conspiracy. Dad tells me to stay here and be good.
01:14:30He has to go take care of something.
01:14:45Glane messes everything up. After finding out Dad's identity, he decides to flee immediately.
01:14:54Dammit! Why does he have a military background?
01:15:04McLane jumps into his car in a panic. But they don't even make it out of the estate gates.
01:15:10Get us out of here. As fast as you can. Now!
01:15:18My dad blocks their way. McLane gives the order. And the car doesn't slow down.
01:15:25They want to run my dad over. Facing the speeding beast, Dad doesn't panic. He calmly pulls out his gun
01:15:33and shoots.
01:15:39Dad's perfect breakthrough marksmanship flips the bad guy's car.
01:15:44McLane can't escape. Don't kill me! I'll give you 10 million!
01:15:49Keep your money. You'll need it to buy your way into hell.
01:15:55McLane stands in the dock in a prison uniform, totally stripped of his former arrogance.
01:16:03Dad not only catches McLane himself, but also gathers all the evidence of his crimes.
01:16:10No elite lawyer can save him now.
01:16:15McLane, do you have anything to say?
01:16:18No. I confess to my crimes.
01:16:22In the end, McLane is sentenced to life in prison and stripped of all his assets.
01:16:39As for Miss Ella and James, they get their due punishment too.
01:16:4430 years in prison. They deserve it.
01:16:47All the bad guys are locked up and I finally have my dad back.
01:16:52A much better life is waiting for us.
01:16:57Dad's hand is so warm and I feel so comfortable right now.
01:17:02He promises he'll never leave my side again.
01:17:06Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Our family must have a proper celebration.
01:17:17The fire cracklers and the smell of roast turkey and pumpkin pie fills the whole house.
01:17:25This is a Thanksgiving dinner I couldn't even dare to dream of.
01:17:30Grandma Ada and the family call me their little angel. They say they have this life now because of me.
01:17:36My dad also thanks Grandma Ada because she took me in.
01:17:41If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be here today.
01:17:50Even without blood ties, I've considered them my real family for a long time.
01:18:02This is the only thing your mom left behind.
01:18:05She got separated from her family in a dust storm. Her wish was to find them.
01:18:09Now I'm passing it on to you.
01:18:11Mom?
01:18:11I take my mom's belonging and beside me, Grandma Ada suddenly freezes as if she's been electrocuted.
01:18:21Oh my god! Leonie! Your mother is my biological daughter who went missing 30 years ago!
01:18:29I gave her this pocket watch! You are Margaret's child!
01:18:32Nobody saw this coming. My mom is actually a grandma Ada's daughter.
01:18:41I hug Grandma Ade tight. No, she's my real grandma. She's my actual family.
01:18:47Grandma Ada, you're my real grandma.
01:18:50Yes, my sweet girl. I'm your grandma. Forever.
01:18:54Thank god. We truly are family.
01:18:57Not only do I have my dad back, but Grandma Ada is my biological grandmother.
01:19:01I'm so lucky and so happy.
01:19:04Happy Thanksgivings everyone! Let's eat!
01:19:10The nightmare is over. Thanks to the oil field, everyone in the village can afford to eat and wear warm
01:19:18clothes.
01:19:19Dad plays with me every day. I feel like the happiest kid in the world.
01:19:26And my Grandma Ada, she no longer needs her mean disguise.
01:19:32She is now the most generous old lady in the whole village.
01:19:36Take a break if you're tired.
01:19:41Grandma Ada!
01:19:44Hi!
01:19:46Grandma Ada!
01:19:49Oh my! My little Leona looks so pretty today!
01:19:56Leona needs to go to school in the city. I'm taking her there myself.
01:20:00Dad, will the city people bully me?
01:20:02Don't worry. Dad will protect you.
01:20:05I am so incredibly happy now. All the misfortunes of the past are gone.
01:20:10I feel so blessed because I finally have a home that will never fall apart.
