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