00:12:51just as aunt grace smugly carries the flower inside she trips over nothing

00:13:26see that god is watching leone let's go home for the first and last time the cat we're
00:13:32First time, the cramped cabin feels warm from the fire.
00:13:36Mrs. Hanson curses the whole time,
00:13:39calling the thick wool blanket Miss Martha spent three months knitting
00:13:42a piece of junk, but she tosses it right into my arms.
00:13:46This junk is stiff and stinky.
00:13:48Hurry up and make a bed for this unlucky brat,
00:13:50and don't get my floor dirty.
00:13:54Grandma Ada calls that beautiful wool blanket junk,
00:13:58but she has sick Mr. Arthur tuck me in with it.
00:14:01In this moment, I finally have a home.
00:14:05Thank you, Grandma.
00:14:07Thank you, Mom.
00:14:10Thank you, Mr. Arthur.
00:14:13Mr. Arthur tells me to call him Dad.
00:14:16He says until my real dad comes back, he'll protect me with his life.
00:14:20I'm finally not an unwanted kid anymore.
00:14:28Good Lord.
00:14:30How could that wicked woman do this?
00:14:33Martha, go sell my wool coat.
00:14:36Use the money to build up her strength.
00:14:38To buy me meat, Dad even wants to sell his winter coat.
00:14:42Grandma slams the table and stops him,
00:14:44because without it, Dad won't survive the winter.
00:14:47Mom cries and says the doctor told them a natural hot spring could turn Dad's health around.
00:14:52But in Oakhaven, where it hasn't rained in three years, that's impossible.
00:14:57Don't be scared, Dad.
00:14:58I'll pray to the angels.
00:15:00You're going to get better.
00:15:04I pray to the angels with all my heart.
00:15:07I give up ten years of my life for Dad's health.
00:15:10I run to the back hill, wanting to do more chores for the family.
00:15:14With a loud pop, I easily pull a deep-rooted stump right out of the ground.
00:15:20Then, a blast of hot, wet steam shoots into the sky like a giant dragon.
00:15:27Grandma! Mom! Come out quick! I broke the ground!
00:15:33Hearing my scream, Grandma Ad rushes over first.
00:15:37I think I broke the earth and caused a huge disaster.
00:15:41But when she touches the boiling water with trembling hands,
00:15:45she laughs and cries like a kid.
00:15:48It's hot! The water is hot!
00:15:51It's a natural hot spring!
00:16:08My face burns like it's on fire.
00:16:11But I don't cry.
00:16:13Grandma Ada told me if I'm bullied and oppressed, I have to fight back.
00:16:18Leone, you are a child of this house.
00:16:21When you get bullied, you fight back.
00:16:24Grandma helps me raise my hand and aim at Aunt Grace,
00:16:27who's waiting for a laugh.
00:16:29The stone hits her shoulder dead end.
00:16:32Ouch! My shoulder's hurt! Help!
00:16:34I watch Aunt Grace run away.
00:16:36She used to seem like a giant fence to me.
00:16:39But now, she looks like a panicked gray rat scurrying around.
00:16:44Grandma Ada is like a massive tree shielding me from the storm.
00:16:48She publicly announces she's cutting ties with Miss Ella.
00:16:52Leone is my chosen granddaughter! She's no jinx!
00:16:54Mother! Your real grandson is right here!
00:16:57Arthur is a cripple, and Martha can't have kids.
00:17:00If you insist on keeping this jinx, we're cutting ties.
00:17:03Fine, I agree!
00:17:05Mom and Dad pull Grandma's sleeves, begging her not to act rashly.
00:17:10But she firmly refuses.
00:17:12As long as this toxic woman, Ella, is around,
00:17:16our family will never have a normal life!
00:17:18I'm kicking this wicked woman out today!
00:17:23Cutting ties is no big deal.
00:17:25But get the best house and the biggest part of the farm done!
00:17:30You can have it!
00:17:32Just get out of my sight!
00:17:35Ella, don't hesitate!
00:17:38Cut ties with them!
00:17:39And your husband's money will be all yours!
00:17:43Do you want Leonise to bring bad luck to you and your baby?
00:17:48Don't forget, her unlucky dad just died in the war!
00:17:53My dad isn't dead!
00:17:55He's coming back!
00:17:56He'll come back and make you pay!
00:17:59Stop dreaming!
00:18:00He was blown to ashes long ago!
00:18:03You won't even find his bones!
00:18:06Leonise's bad luck will drag the whole town down!
00:18:09Just watch!
00:18:10Soon you won't even have mud to eat!
00:18:13I'm not a jinx!
00:18:14Grandma Ada says I brought good luck!
00:18:18You're a bad person!
00:18:20Get out of my house!
00:18:25Aunt Grace's laughter suddenly stops
00:18:28as the roar of an engine
00:18:29or the steel monster
00:18:32shatters the silence of the wasteland.
00:18:35and Trace's back goes past.
00:18:37The car door opens
00:18:38and a tall man covered in metal steps out.
00:18:41I don't even need to see his face.
00:18:44The pounding in my blood give
00:18:45gives me the answer.
00:18:47Dad!
00:19:01A hot spring!
00:19:03It's a real hot spring!
00:19:05It's a real hot spring!
00:19:06Arthur!
00:19:07My son!
00:19:09The doctor said a hot spring
00:19:11could save your lungs!
00:19:12You're saved!
00:19:13Mom hugs me tight
00:19:15and kisses my face in excitement.
00:19:17She says I'm an angel sent by God.
00:19:20It turns out I'm not unwanted trash.
00:19:22I can be someone's salvation too.
00:19:26But when I happily return to the yard
00:19:28I'm greeted by two icy faces.
00:19:31Miss Ella and Aunt Grace
00:19:33are whispering together.
00:19:35Their glares pierce my heart
00:19:37like poisoned swords.
00:19:39What rotten luck!
00:19:40We're already too poor to eat
00:19:42and now we have to share food with her.
00:19:43Ella,
00:19:44I'm telling you,
00:19:46stay away from them.
00:19:47That Leonae brings nothing but bad luck.
00:19:55But remembering bad
00:19:56spent all his money on medicine.
00:19:59I can't bear to see this family
00:20:01tear itself apart over me.
00:20:03Miss Ella,
00:20:04please don't be mad.
00:20:05I won't fight for anything.
00:20:08I'll help take care of the baby
00:20:10and I won't eat the good food.
00:20:14Liar!
00:20:14Are you gonna let her pass
00:20:16her bad luck to your son?
00:20:17Her curse will kill your son!
00:20:21Pete!
00:20:21Ah!
00:20:28Get lost!
00:20:29Don't touch me with your dirty hands!
00:20:33Shh!
00:20:41Aunt Grace screams
00:20:42that I'm a monster
00:20:43who kills families.
00:20:45Pushing Miss Ella
00:20:46to attack me.
00:20:48Just as I try to beg again,
00:20:50Ella winds up
00:20:51and slaps me hard
00:20:52across the face.
00:20:57Aunt Grace is still lying.
00:20:59She points at my bloody wounds
00:21:00and lies with a straight face
00:21:02that I fell while playing.
00:21:03But I see the neighbors
00:21:04shaking their heads.
00:21:05They all know it's not true.
00:21:08Bullshit!
00:21:09I saw you buy new leather boots
00:21:11in the city
00:21:11with the military pay
00:21:12while you made this poor kid
00:21:13gnaw on spoiled potato peels
00:21:15in the snow!
00:21:15Yeah!
00:21:16She even locked the kid
00:21:17in the barn to beat her!
00:21:18We all heard the screams!
00:21:20The Major's face
00:21:21is as dark as a stormy sky.
00:21:23He waves his white-gloved hand
00:21:24and orders their arrest.
00:21:26Uncle Thomas is taken away,
00:21:28but Aunt Grace avoids arrest
00:21:29because she has a baby
00:21:30to take care of.
00:21:34Watching the jeep drive away,
00:21:35I don't feel the thrill of revenge.
00:21:38I just think that maybe justice
00:21:39really does come to this desolate life.
00:21:44I thought with $5,000,
00:21:47my new home would be safe.
00:21:48I never expected trouble
00:21:49to come so fast.
00:21:51Miss Ella bursts through the door
00:21:52and her stare at that pile of cash
00:21:54is even scarier than Aunt Grace's.
00:21:58I'm carrying the only heir
00:22:00to this family.
00:22:01We should get half
00:22:02of that $5,000.
00:22:04James keeps his head down.
00:22:06For money,
00:22:07he doesn't even dare
00:22:08look at his sick brother.
00:22:10They aren't trying to steal money.
00:22:12They're trying to steal
00:22:13my last memory of my dad.
00:22:15Nobody is touching this money,
00:22:17including you!
00:22:19From now on,
00:22:20we live our own lives.
00:22:22Get out of my house!
00:22:23For me,
00:22:25Grandma kicks her own son
00:22:26out of the house.
00:22:27She rubs my head
00:22:29and says,
00:22:30as long as she's here,
00:22:32no one will touch
00:22:33a single hair on my head.
00:22:40The majestic maid
00:22:41decorated with medals
00:22:43gives me a solemn salute.
00:22:46I thought God heard my prayers
00:22:48and brought Dad back,
00:22:49but that cold purple heart
00:22:52tells me
00:22:53I'll never feel his hug again.
00:23:01Captain Leo protected
00:23:02our country with his life.
00:23:04This honor belongs to him.
00:23:05And to his only daughter,
00:23:07Leonie.
00:23:08The major pulls out
00:23:09a thick paper bag.
00:23:11Inside is $5,000
00:23:13from my dad's military pension.
00:23:15I don't know how much that is,
00:23:17but I hear the adults saying
00:23:19it could buy a mountain of bread
00:23:21covered in sugar and jam.
00:23:24Aunt Grace and Uncle Thomas
00:23:25pop out of nowhere.
00:23:27One second they want to throw me
00:23:29into the wild,
00:23:29and the next they put on fake smiles
00:23:31inside a dragging home.
00:23:32Uncle Thomas grips my arm
00:23:34like an iron fist.
00:23:36I know he doesn't want me.
00:23:38He wants that blood money.
00:23:41Grandma Ada
00:23:42acts like a lioness
00:23:43protecting her cub
00:23:44and rips up my sleeve.
00:23:46Those rotting frostbites
00:23:48and bruises
00:23:48look so layering
00:23:49in the sunlight.
00:23:51Look, sir!
00:23:51Living with these two
00:23:52heartless scumbags,
00:23:53Leonie starves,
00:23:54freezes,
00:23:55and gets beaten
00:23:55every single day.
00:23:56It's absolutely heartbreaking!
00:24:04You!
00:24:07How dare you treat
00:24:08a hero's only daughter
00:24:10like an animal!
00:24:12Mom is finally smiling.
00:24:15When she smiles,
00:24:17the wrinkles around her eyes
00:24:18look like pretty flowers.
00:24:20If good luck is real,
00:24:22I want to give it all
00:24:24to the people
00:24:25who treat me well.
00:24:28But this is just
00:24:29the beginning.
00:24:30I actually
00:24:31dig up some lumpy
00:24:32white roots from the dirt
00:24:34that smell amazing.
00:24:36Mom says they're
00:24:38wild mushrooms.
00:24:39They smell so good.
00:24:41I don't know
00:24:42what they are,
00:24:43but Mom says
00:24:44we can sell them
00:24:45for money,
00:24:45so they must be good.
00:24:48Golden grease bubbles
00:24:50in the pan.
00:24:51The white mushrooms
00:24:53Mom sliced.
00:24:55release an incredible
00:24:56mind-blowing smell
00:24:57in the heat.
00:24:59Even bed-roan
00:25:00Papa Arthur
00:25:01can't help
00:25:01but sit up.
00:25:08You're clearly
00:25:09an angel
00:25:10bringing good luck,
00:25:11yet they call you
00:25:12a witch-bringing disaster.
00:25:14What a bunch
00:25:14of blind idiots.
00:25:16But the smell
00:25:17brings trouble too.
00:25:18Miss Ella bursts in,
00:25:20drooling so much
00:25:21it almost drips
00:25:22into our pot.
00:25:24She points to the air
00:25:25in her belly
00:25:26and demands
00:25:27the biggest bowl of meat.
00:25:30This time,
00:25:32Grandma Ada
00:25:32doesn't even look back.
00:25:34The heavy,
00:25:35bloody meat crawler
00:25:36in her hand
00:25:37just flies across the room.
00:25:39With Grandma here,
00:25:40no one can bully us.
00:25:41Take one more step
00:25:42into my yard
00:25:43and I'll chop
00:25:43your feet off.
00:25:44Get lost!
00:25:49Grandma Ada
00:25:50locks the money
00:25:51in an iron box
00:25:52under the bed.
00:25:53She tells me
00:25:54that money
00:25:55could buy
00:25:55lots of pretty clothes
00:25:57and candy.
00:25:58But my dad
00:25:59traded his life
00:26:00for it,
00:26:01so we can't
00:26:02waste a single penny.
00:26:05Dad's gut-ranking coughs
00:26:07come from the back room.
00:26:10He begs Mom
00:26:11from his sick bed
00:26:12to stop worrying
00:26:13about him
00:26:14and to save
00:26:15the last bite
00:26:15of food for me.
00:26:17Cough.
00:26:18Cough.
00:26:23Cough.
00:26:23Cough.
00:26:24Cough.
00:26:24Cough.
00:26:25Cough.
00:26:32Cough.
00:26:33The cracked earth
00:26:35in the blackwood forest
00:26:36looks like
00:26:36countless mouths
00:26:37laughing at our poverty.
00:26:39Starving people
00:26:40have stripped away
00:26:40every chewable piece
00:26:42of tree bark
00:26:42in this hell hole.
00:26:44Mom leans on her stick,
00:26:46wandering the wasteland
00:26:47in despair.
00:26:48Just as Mom
00:26:49is about to collapse,
00:26:51I trip hard
00:26:53over a tree root.
00:26:54In the flying dust,
00:26:59I actually find
00:27:01a few heavy,
00:27:02dirty,
00:27:03weird-looking stones.
00:27:07Mom says
00:27:08they're useless rocks
00:27:10and tells me
00:27:10to throw them away.
00:27:12But right as she reaches out,
00:27:14something weird
00:27:15happens again.
00:27:19The festwick
00:27:20dies on the spot
00:27:21and rolls
00:27:22right to Mom's feet.
00:27:25Aunt Grace
00:27:25called me a jinx.
00:27:27But now,
00:27:29God himself
00:27:30has delivered
00:27:31dinner to me.
00:27:41this is the first time
00:27:43I've ever had
00:27:43a full stomach.
00:27:45I don't have to shiver
00:27:46in a freezing haystack,
00:27:47and no one
00:27:48is pulling my hair.
00:27:50I eat the delicious chicken,
00:27:52and the air smells
00:27:53like pure happiness.
00:28:11Papa Arthur says
00:28:13his lungs feel warm
00:28:14and he can finally breathe easier.
00:28:17Mom says
00:28:18those white mushrooms
00:28:20we found
00:28:20will definitely sell
00:28:21for a good price.
00:28:23If we can buy medicine,
00:28:25Papa will be saved.
00:28:28The blowing yellow sand
00:28:30can't hide
00:28:30how run down
00:28:31the market is.
00:28:32Mom and I
00:28:33huddle in a corner,
00:28:34carefully laying out
00:28:35those lumpy white roots.
00:28:37I don't know it yet,
00:28:38but these wild mushrooms
00:28:40are called
00:28:40white gold
00:28:41on the tables
00:28:42of rich city folks.
00:28:43and then she started
00:28:45begging her cousin Mark.
00:28:47She kept pulling
00:28:49on his sleeve
00:28:50and crying.
00:28:51I'm sorry.
00:28:52She wanted
00:28:53Mark Uncle
00:28:54to get Thomas
00:28:55out of jail.
00:29:02Mark is impatiently
00:29:04trying to push her away.
00:29:05Then he notices
00:29:07us in the corner.
00:29:10A Aunt Grace
00:29:11blames me
00:29:12for all her tragedies.
00:29:17Leone!
00:29:18You're the reason
00:29:20my life is ruined!
00:29:24Aunt Grace's face
00:29:26is uglier
00:29:27than dead bark
00:29:27in the Blackwood forest.
00:29:30For the $5,000
00:29:31she brought
00:29:32her bully cousin Mark
00:29:33who works
00:29:34at the town hall.
00:29:36They stare at Mom
00:29:38and me
00:29:38like starving wolves.
00:29:42Mom and I
00:29:43guard our stall.
00:29:44It's our only hope
00:29:45to buy Papa's medicine.
00:29:50Mom and I
00:29:52but Mark
00:29:53comes right up
00:29:54and kicks
00:29:55our basket over.
00:29:57Mark yells
00:29:58like crazy
00:29:58in the market
00:29:59framing us
00:30:00for selling
00:30:00deadly poisonous mushrooms.
00:30:02Right in front
00:30:03of everyone
00:30:04he crushes
00:30:05the white mushrooms
00:30:05we worked so hard
00:30:07to find
00:30:07just like stepping
00:30:08on trash.
00:30:09Mark grabs
00:30:10the gray stones
00:30:11I found
00:30:11calling us
00:30:12money hungry scammers.
00:30:14With a loud bang
00:30:15he smashes
00:30:16the rocks
00:30:16onto the ground.
00:30:17The sound
00:30:18of them breaking
00:30:19is the sound
00:30:20of my heart breaking.
00:30:21The crowd
00:30:22believes Mark.
00:30:23They point at us
00:30:24calling us shameless.
00:30:26Their insults
00:30:27almost drown Mom
00:30:28and me.
00:30:29We're not
00:30:30scamming anyone.
00:30:32These really
00:30:33aren't poisonous
00:30:34mushrooms.
00:30:35That's not true.
00:30:36We're not lying.
00:30:40Mark doesn't care
00:30:41about poisonous
00:30:42mushrooms at all.
00:30:44He just wants
00:30:45the $5,000
00:30:46Papa left us.
00:30:47He threatens Mom
00:30:48like a snake
00:30:49saying if we don't
00:30:51pay protection money
00:30:52he'll make us
00:30:53disappear from
00:30:54Oak Haven for good.
00:30:55To protect
00:30:56my life-saving money
00:30:57Mom firmly rejects
00:30:59this hungry wolf.
00:31:00But it brings
00:31:01devastating revenge.
00:31:03Mark goes crazy.
00:31:05He flips our stall
00:31:06and crushes
00:31:07the white mushrooms
00:31:08that could save
00:31:09Papa Arthur
00:31:09into mud.
00:31:10I scream and pray
00:31:12for God to punish
00:31:13these bad people
00:31:14but all I get
00:31:15is Aunt Grace's
00:31:16piercing cacker.
00:31:17You bad people.
00:31:19God is watching.
00:31:21He will definitely
00:31:21punish you.
00:31:23She points at my nose
00:31:24calling me a naive
00:31:26little idiot
00:31:27saying even Jesus
00:31:29couldn't save us now.
00:31:31Stop.
00:31:35I follow everyone's gaze
00:31:37and see two men
00:31:38walking in from the crowd.
00:31:40They dress completely
00:31:41differently from
00:31:42the townsfolk
00:31:43and they look
00:31:43incredibly distinguished.
00:31:52What the hell
00:31:53are you blind idiots
00:31:54doing?
00:31:57The old man
00:31:59with glasses
00:31:59kneels in the mud
00:32:00holding the crushed pieces.
00:32:02His hands are shaking
00:32:03worse than dead leaves
00:32:04in autumn.
00:32:05I can feel how angry
00:32:06and heartbroken he is.
00:32:07At the time
00:32:08I still didn't know
00:32:09just how precious
00:32:10those crushed
00:32:11white mushrooms were.
00:32:16You fool!
00:32:18These are top
00:32:19great white struffles
00:32:20that even the royal family
00:32:21pays a fortune to find
00:32:23and you crush them?
00:32:25Mark's face
00:32:25instantly drained of color
00:32:27too terrified to speak.
00:32:29Meanwhile
00:32:30Mr. Sterling
00:32:31with his leopard cane
00:32:32slowly walks
00:32:34toward the gray stones
00:32:35Aunt Grace smashed.
00:32:36In that moment
00:32:38I think the sun
00:32:39fell into the stone.
00:32:40Beneath the dull
00:32:41gray surface
00:32:42a dreamy
00:32:43deep purple light
00:32:44shines out.
00:32:45Mr. Sterling says
00:32:47it's an extremely rare
00:32:48natural amethyst guillow.
00:32:50Mr. Sterling goes crazy.
00:32:52He pulls out
00:32:52a thick stack
00:32:53of hundred dollar bills
00:32:55enough to buy
00:32:56half the town
00:32:57and shoves it
00:32:57into mom's hands.
00:32:59He says he'd give
00:32:59his entire fortune
00:33:01to buy all the
00:33:02trash stones
00:33:03I found.
00:33:03Seeing things go bad
00:33:08Mark and Aunt Grace
00:33:09try to sneak away
00:33:10into the crowd
00:33:11like cowards
00:33:12but the two men
00:33:14in black suits
00:33:15grab them by the collars
00:33:16and throw them hard
00:33:18into a filthy
00:33:18stinking mud puddle.
00:33:24Mom's hands
00:33:25are shaking so much
00:33:27she can barely hold
00:33:28the heavy stack of cash.
00:33:30She can't believe
00:33:31the rotten mushrooms
00:33:32and broken stones
00:33:33I casually picked up
00:33:35in the blackwood forest
00:33:36are actually worth
00:33:38more than gold.
00:33:39Mr. Sterling
00:33:40takes off
00:33:40his expensive top hat.
00:33:42He says
00:33:43I'm an angel
00:33:44blessed by God.
00:33:45The villagers
00:33:46who used to point
00:33:47and gloss up
00:33:48are all shocked
00:33:49silent
00:33:50by this massive fortune.
00:33:52You just found
00:33:53these lying around?
00:33:55Good Lord
00:33:56this child
00:33:57is absolutely
00:33:58a reincarnated angel.
00:34:00Only someone
00:34:01blessed by God
00:34:02could have such
00:34:02unbelievable luck.
00:34:03Mr. Sterling
00:34:04I think we have
00:34:06an obligation
00:34:06to help this child
00:34:07get the compensation
00:34:08she deserves
00:34:09and make these scumbags
00:34:11face their punishment.
00:34:12The well-dressed lawyer
00:34:14steps forward.
00:34:15He calculates our damages
00:34:16at $3,500.
00:34:19That's an astrosnomical price.
00:34:22Enough to buy
00:34:23the whole town
00:34:24of Oakhaven.
00:34:25Mark doesn't want
00:34:26to pay the compensation.
00:34:28He tries to run
00:34:30towards a speeding
00:34:30coal train
00:34:31to hop on
00:34:32and escape.
00:34:36The bodyguard
00:34:37quickly drags him
00:34:38back from the train
00:34:38and pins him in the mud.
00:34:40He can't run anymore.
00:34:41The sheriff arrives
00:34:42and tells Aunt Grace
00:34:43that if she doesn't
00:34:44get the money together
00:34:45in 48 hours
00:34:46she'll not only
00:34:47hand over Papa's farm
00:34:48that she stole
00:34:48but she'll also
00:34:49rot in jail
00:34:50for the rest of her life.
00:34:58Late at night
00:34:59in Oakhaven
00:34:59the wind tears
00:35:00at the ground
00:35:00like a mad beast.
00:35:01The old roof shakes.
00:35:03The drafty windows creak
00:35:04but in the flickering light
00:35:05of the kerosene lamp
00:35:05Aunt Grace is scarier
00:35:06than the storm.
00:35:07I found a picture today.
00:35:08A man in a uniform.
00:35:10I asked who he was.
00:35:11She said it was nothing
00:35:12just someone
00:35:12who used to live here.
00:35:13The old roof shakes.
00:35:15The drafty windows creak.
00:35:17The $3,500
00:35:19collection notice.
00:35:21chokes her like a noose.
00:35:23Instead of repenting
00:35:24Aunt Grace just stares
00:35:26at the document
00:35:26with the red thumbprint
00:35:28plotting to steal
00:35:29the blood-soaked
00:35:29douching money
00:35:30under Grandma Ada's bed.
00:35:33Lightning flashes
00:35:34lighting up
00:35:35Aunt Grace's soaked face.
00:35:37She raises cold plizers
00:35:40snips the wire fence
00:35:41and sneaks onto our farm.
00:36:00It rains so hard that night.
00:36:03The noise keeps me awake.
00:36:05I get up for a drink of water
00:36:07having no idea
00:36:08danger is so close.
00:36:19The wind is so strong outside.
00:36:22I'm afraid the rain
00:36:23will ruin the wood floor
00:36:25so I drag a big iron bucket over
00:36:27and force the window shut tight.
00:36:29I think closing the window
00:36:31will keep the storm out
00:36:32but I don't notice
00:36:34the old frame is rotten.
00:36:36The second I turn around
00:36:38Aunt Grace pries it open.
00:36:48I don't know
00:36:50the window is broken
00:36:51and might fall
00:36:52if opened one.
00:36:53Aunt Grace risks her life
00:36:55for that money.
00:36:56She squeezes inside
00:36:58scraping the skin
00:37:00right off her waist.
00:37:03The metal clangs loudly
00:37:05in the dead of night.
00:37:07Aunt Grace flails
00:37:08like a funny puppet
00:37:09desperately trying
00:37:11to grab something
00:37:12to steady herself.
00:37:13Please don't fall.
00:37:14But she grabs
00:37:14a wobbly shell.
00:37:21It burns!
00:37:23My eyes!
00:37:24Grandma Ada taught me
00:37:26that quick live
00:37:27boils like a kettle
00:37:28when it hits water.
00:37:30Aunt Grace screams
00:37:31so miserably
00:37:33but
00:37:35she wouldn't be hurt
00:37:36if she didn't sneak in
00:37:37through the window
00:37:38at midnight.
00:37:43Aunt Grace screams,
00:37:45smashes through the back door
00:37:46and plunges
00:37:47into the terrestrial rain.
00:37:49The quick line
00:37:50boils on her face.
00:37:51The burning blinds her
00:37:53making her stumble
00:37:54through the mud.
00:37:57Help!
00:37:58Even the farm dog
00:37:59avoids that stinky pit.
00:38:01Aunt Grace used to call me
00:38:03a smelly beggar
00:38:04but now
00:38:05even the skunk
00:38:07living in the pit
00:38:07is disgusted by her.
00:38:10Aunt Grace
00:38:11crawls out of the cesspool,
00:38:12her mind still obsessed
00:38:14with the money.
00:38:15When she finds the heavy,
00:38:17locked metal box
00:38:18in the junk pile,
00:38:19her burned eyes
00:38:20beamed scarier
00:38:22than a demon's.
00:38:23A locked box!
00:38:24The money must be inside!
00:38:36The smell of gunpowder
00:38:37overpowers the rain
00:38:39and Grandma Ada's
00:38:40furious shout
00:38:41tears through the night.
00:38:43Aunt Grace actually
00:38:44hits the gas
00:38:45through a hail of bullets.
00:38:47In the pouring rain,
00:38:49Aunt Grace laughs
00:38:50like a dying maniac
00:38:52in a speeding truck.
00:38:58This 5,000s is all mine!
00:39:00She hugs the metal box
00:39:01to her chest,
00:39:03thinking she holds
00:39:04all the wealth
00:39:05in the world
00:39:05and has finally
00:39:06beaten everyone.
00:39:10Grandma Ada
00:39:11holds her shotgun,
00:39:12anxious to chase her.
00:39:14I stand barefoot
00:39:16in the mud
00:39:16and gently tug
00:39:17her wet shirt
00:39:18to remind her.
00:39:19Uncle Thomas told me
00:39:20before that whenever
00:39:21it storms,
00:39:22the wooden bridge
00:39:23over there
00:39:24floods completely.
00:39:28La la la!
00:39:30La la la la la!
00:39:33The truck in the storm
00:39:34is like a wild beast
00:39:36out of control.
00:39:37I.E. Grace screams
00:39:38madly in the cab.
00:39:40When she sees the river
00:39:40completely swallowing
00:39:42the bridge,
00:39:42she falls into
00:39:43total despair.
00:39:45Stop!
00:39:46Stop right now!
00:39:50The crash shatters
00:39:51the rain.
00:39:52Aunt Grace doesn't die,
00:39:54but she lands
00:39:55somewhere worse
00:39:56than hell.
00:39:57Major Evans'
00:39:58military restricted zone.
00:40:01Money.
00:40:03My money.
00:40:05A dozen black
00:40:06Thompson submachine guns
00:40:07aim right at her head.
00:40:10Major steps forward
00:40:11in his raincoat
00:40:13with a cold face.
00:40:14I told you not
00:40:15to flee.
00:40:16Where do you think
00:40:17you're driving,
00:40:17Ms. Grace?
00:40:25It's over.
00:40:27It's all over.
00:40:31The stench from the truck
00:40:32is more nauseating
00:40:33than a rotting corpse
00:40:35in the black forest.
00:40:36It's the smell
00:40:37of cesspooled water
00:40:38mixed with
00:40:39Aunt Grace's greed.
00:40:41Even as the
00:40:42MPs drag her
00:40:43into the mud,
00:40:43she clings
00:40:45to the heavy metal
00:40:45boss.
00:40:46While Aunt Grace
00:40:47dreams of being rich,
00:40:49Grandma Ada
00:40:49arrives with me
00:40:50on her roaring tractor.
00:40:52Grandma looks
00:40:53at Aunt Grace
00:40:54in the mud
00:40:54and laughs
00:40:55with sheer contempt
00:40:57because the real
00:40:58pension money
00:40:58rests safely
00:40:59under the
00:41:00Hanson family's bed.
00:41:05Grandma Ada
00:41:06tells Major Evans
00:41:07the truth
00:41:08and he pries
00:41:10open the heavy
00:41:10padlock
00:41:11with the dagger.
00:41:12With a loud
00:41:13clank,
00:41:14Aunt Grace's dream
00:41:15shatters completely.
00:41:26Stealing private property.
00:41:29Go join your husband
00:41:30in prison.
00:41:31Take her away.
00:41:43My once arrogant
00:41:44aunt and uncle
00:41:46now look like
00:41:47two cornered rabbits
00:41:49facing their
00:41:50final judgment.
00:41:52Grandma doesn't
00:41:53carry her
00:41:54scary shotgun
00:41:55today.
00:41:56She puts me
00:41:57in a new lace dress
00:41:58and holds my hand
00:42:00stepping into
00:42:01the light
00:42:02like a guardian
00:42:02angel.
00:42:03Uncle Thomas'
00:42:05mental defenses
00:42:05completely break down
00:42:07and he roars
00:42:08at Aunt Grace.
00:42:09Facing 20 years
00:42:11in prison,
00:42:11he doesn't hesitate
00:42:12to sign his name.
00:42:22The gavel
00:42:23bangs down hard.
00:42:25The judge
00:42:26declares
00:42:26that the farm
00:42:27and all the wealth
00:42:28Dad left me
00:42:29are finally
00:42:30back in my hands.
00:42:32Now.
00:42:39The judge
00:42:40usually looks
00:42:41so mean
00:42:42and everyone
00:42:43is scared of him.
00:42:45But today,
00:42:46he bends down
00:42:47and smiles at us.
00:42:49Just like the
00:42:50chubby man in town
00:42:51who loves
00:42:51giving kids candy.
00:42:55Aunt Grace
00:42:56used to plug her nose,
00:42:57disgusted
00:42:58disgusted
00:42:59by the moldy
00:42:59barn smell
00:43:00on me.
00:43:01But now,
00:43:03she stinks
00:43:03so bad
00:43:04that even I
00:43:05have to turn
00:43:05my head
00:43:06and pinch
00:43:06my nose.
00:43:08Remember that
00:43:09freezing barn
00:43:10you kicked
00:43:10Leonie into
00:43:11on that stormy day?
00:43:13From today on,
00:43:15that broken barn
00:43:16is yours.
00:43:17The guards
00:43:18can't stand
00:43:19Aunt Grace's
00:43:19sour stench.
00:43:20They drag her out
00:43:21and her screams
00:43:23echo through the hall.
00:43:25The adults
00:43:26surround me,
00:43:27smiling and
00:43:28calling me
00:43:29a lucky little angel.
00:43:30But I don't care.
00:43:32All I know
00:43:33is that Grandma's
00:43:34hand holding mine
00:43:35is big and warm
00:43:36and no one
00:43:37will ever force me
00:43:38into a freezing
00:43:39barn again.
00:43:43I used to think
00:43:44this dirt
00:43:44could only grow
00:43:45hard rocks
00:43:46and starved bugs.
00:43:48Only today
00:43:49do I realize
00:43:49it can grow
00:43:50so much wheat
00:43:51that looks like
00:43:52pure gold.
00:43:55Grandma laughed
00:43:56so loudly today.
00:44:01Good girl,
00:44:02look.
00:44:03These are all
00:44:04gifts from God.
00:44:05But neither of us
00:44:06notices Miss Ella
00:44:07staring at me.
00:44:09She looks exactly
00:44:10like Aunt Grace
00:44:11used to
00:44:11when she wanted
00:44:12to hit me.
00:44:13Miss Ella yells
00:44:14at James.
00:44:15They want this
00:44:16most fertile land
00:44:17in town.
00:44:18Miss Ella looks
00:44:19at me so fiercely
00:44:20as if she wants
00:44:21to rush over
00:44:22and eat me alive.
00:44:31if that damn
00:44:32old hack
00:44:32won't give it
00:44:33to us,
00:44:33we'll just
00:44:34take it ourselves.
00:44:35Take it?
00:44:36How?
00:44:37That land is in the name
00:44:38of that little
00:44:38bastard Leonie.
00:44:43Then we'll find
00:44:44a way to switch
00:44:45the deeds.
00:44:46Greedy snakes
00:44:47can never fill
00:44:48their bottomless pit
00:44:49of desire.
00:44:51Blood ties
00:44:52don't bring
00:44:52family love.
00:44:54They just become
00:44:55an excuse to steal.
00:45:00Greedy James
00:45:01brings his dark secrets
00:45:03and knocks on the
00:45:04back door of power
00:45:06just like a sewer rat.
00:45:12I only learn later
00:45:14that there's a scary
00:45:15magic in the adult world.
00:45:17If you secretly
00:45:18give the mayor
00:45:19a special gift,
00:45:20your wishes come true.
00:45:26James uses tobacco
00:45:27and money to trade
00:45:29for the Fertilisle farm
00:45:30under my name.
00:45:43James,
00:45:45your appetite
00:45:46is way bigger
00:45:48than your dying
00:45:48brothers.
00:46:02Power completely
00:46:03surrenders to money.
00:46:06The mayor accepts
00:46:08James' gift.
00:46:28Take it, James.
00:46:29With this requisition
00:46:30order,
00:46:31that Fertilisle land
00:46:32is yours by sunrise
00:46:33tomorrow.
00:46:48We move to the place
00:46:50they call
00:46:50the Rocky Land.
00:46:51There's nothing here
00:46:53but bare rocks
00:46:54and cold wind.
00:46:58Grandma Ada
00:46:59is frowning so hard.
00:47:07This year's harvest
00:47:08is totally ruined,
00:47:10sweetie.
00:47:11We might starve.
00:47:13I see how sad
00:47:14Grandma is
00:47:15and my heart feels
00:47:16like it's crushed
00:47:17by a rock
00:47:18but I don't want
00:47:19to make her sadder.
00:47:21I remember Grandma
00:47:21Ada said,
00:47:23as long as there is hope,
00:47:24there's nothing to fear.
00:47:25Don't worry, Grandma.
00:47:27I can grow pretty flowers
00:47:28even in the rocks.
00:47:29I just want to do something
00:47:31even if it's just
00:47:33digging a little hole.
00:47:33I believe my luck
00:47:35will definitely help us.
00:47:38Right then,
00:47:39something weird happens.
00:47:41The ground starts shaking violently.
00:47:43I feel the rocks
00:47:44under my feet
00:47:45jumping like they're alive.
00:47:47Danger!
00:47:48Leonis, get out of the way!
00:47:57This morning,
00:47:58a lot of people
00:47:59suddenly come to our farm.
00:48:03It's James,
00:48:05Miss Ella,
00:48:05and the mayor.
00:48:07They look really mean.
00:48:09They use big adult words
00:48:11I don't understand.
00:48:12I just see Grandma Ada
00:48:14shaking with anger
00:48:15because they want to trade
00:48:16a barren wasteland
00:48:17for our golden wheat field.
00:48:22Trade?
00:48:23James,
00:48:24do you think I'm an idiot?
00:48:25Not even weeds
00:48:26can grow on that land.
00:48:28Don't waste your breath
00:48:29on her.
00:48:30Quick,
00:48:30pull up the boundary markers
00:48:31and put ours in.
00:48:32This is our land now.
00:48:33Grandma nailed that marker herself.
00:48:35When it falls,
00:48:37my heart hurts so much.
00:48:39You robbers!
00:48:40I'll fight you to the death!
00:48:44Those two guns
00:48:45are so, so close
00:48:46to Grandma's head.
00:48:47For the first time,
00:48:48I realize a hunting rifle
00:48:49isn't scary at all.
00:48:51Mrs. Hansen,
00:48:51calm down
00:48:52or we'll arrest you
00:48:53for obstructing justice.
00:48:55No!
00:48:56Don't kill my Grandma!
00:48:58No!
00:48:58What's really scary
00:48:59is when others
00:49:00point guns at us.
00:49:08Just sign it,
00:49:09Mrs. Hansen.
00:49:10You don't want
00:49:11this little girl
00:49:12watching you
00:49:12get taken away,
00:49:13do you?
00:49:14Grandma Ada
00:49:14looks at me
00:49:15crying in fear.
00:49:17She closes her eyes
00:49:19and agrees
00:49:20to sign the contract.
00:49:24I grip Grandma's
00:49:25clothes tight.
00:49:26I'm worried
00:49:27she's in danger.
00:49:28I see her eyes
00:49:29turn red
00:49:30and my heart
00:49:31aches.
00:49:32But I don't know
00:49:33what to do.
00:49:41You old hag!
00:49:43Take this unlucky
00:49:44little stray
00:49:45and get all my property
00:49:46right now!
00:49:47Go eat dirt
00:49:48in that rocky wasteland!
00:49:55The ground shakes
00:49:56like a thousand
00:49:57wild horses
00:49:58running under my feet.
00:50:00My feet go numb.
00:50:01I shut my eyes tight
00:50:03thinking I really
00:50:04messed up
00:50:04and dug up
00:50:05a sleeping demon
00:50:06with my rusty
00:50:07little shovel.
00:50:08I've never seen
00:50:09such a scary
00:50:10and awesome sight.
00:50:12The black liquid
00:50:13shoots up so high
00:50:14and rains down,
00:50:16splashing all over
00:50:17me and Grandma.
00:50:18This weird rain
00:50:19is black
00:50:20and stinky.
00:50:21It sticks to my face
00:50:23and ruins
00:50:23my only clean dress.
00:50:25I look at Grandma
00:50:26nervously,
00:50:27terrified she's
00:50:28going to blow up
00:50:29over this awful
00:50:30prank.
00:50:31But I notice Grandma
00:50:32Ada isn't mad
00:50:33at all.
00:50:34Her weathered face
00:50:35instantly twists
00:50:36into this extreme,
00:50:38almost crazy joy.
00:50:39This isn't muddy water!
00:50:40It's crude oil!
00:50:42It's oil!
00:50:43Thank God!
00:50:44We struck oil!
00:50:45I don't know
00:50:46what oil is,
00:50:47but I can taste
00:50:48Grandma's happy tears.
00:50:51In this black rain,
00:50:53we hug each other
00:50:54so tight.
00:50:57Not long after
00:50:59that black rain,
00:51:00a bunch of big shoops
00:51:01come to town.
00:51:03They head straight
00:51:04for this rocky wasteland
00:51:05that even the devil
00:51:07wouldn't look twice at.
00:51:21Congratulations,
00:51:22Mrs. Hanson.
00:51:23Your granddaughter
00:51:24is a true
00:51:25lucky angel.
00:51:26A bunch of guys
00:51:27in expensive suits
00:51:28step out of the cars.
00:51:30They use weird gadgets
00:51:31to dig and measure
00:51:32all over the place.
00:51:36Mr. Sterling!
00:51:38Initial surveys show
00:51:40the most massive
00:51:41shallow oil field
00:51:43in the entire state
00:51:44is hidden right
00:51:45under here!
00:51:46The value
00:51:47is immeasurable!
00:51:48I don't understand
00:51:49what they're saying,
00:51:50but I see Mr. Sterling
00:51:52pull out a really
00:51:53big piece of paper
00:51:54with lots and lots
00:51:56of zeros on it.
00:51:57Starting today,
00:51:58an oil company
00:51:59named after you
00:51:59is officially founded.
00:52:01Congratulations,
00:52:01my little black gold
00:52:02tycara!
00:52:03In that moment,
00:52:04I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:06Mr. Sterling calls me
00:52:07a black gold tycoon.
00:52:09I don't really get
00:52:10what that means,
00:52:11but he tells me
00:52:12we'll never go hungry again.
00:52:16Aunt Ella and Uncle James
00:52:17stand on the fertile farm
00:52:19they stole.
00:52:20They look at the rocky land
00:52:21they tossed away
00:52:22like trash,
00:52:23now swarming
00:52:24with rich people,
00:52:25and they are going
00:52:26absolutely crazy
00:52:27with jealousy.
00:52:28Damn it!
00:52:29That land was ours!
00:52:32We threw it away!
00:52:34At least we still have
00:52:35the best wheat field
00:52:36in town.
00:52:36We'll strike it rich
00:52:37in the fall anyway.
00:52:39That little bit of oil
00:52:40they have will probably
00:52:41dry up real soon.
00:52:42Miss Ella is still dreaming
00:52:43of getting rich,
00:52:45but she doesn't know
00:52:46that God's judgment
00:52:48never spares a greedy soul.
00:52:50I see a huge dark cloud
00:52:52flying in.
00:52:55As it gets closer,
00:52:57I realize it's not a cloud
00:52:59at all.
00:53:00It's millions
00:53:01of gross bugs.
00:53:15James' screams echo
00:53:18across the empty farm.
00:53:19That golden wheat field
00:53:21is just completely eaten up
00:53:23by the bugs.
00:53:27Mr. Sterling tells me
00:53:28God rewards the good,
00:53:30but also punishes
00:53:31the bad guys
00:53:32who bully us
00:53:33without mercy.
00:53:34Once I use this money
00:53:35to buy off
00:53:36the state senator,
00:53:38I'll get out
00:53:38of this hellhole
00:53:39and be a real big shot
00:53:41in Washington.
00:53:42And he sends
00:53:43the toughest lawyers
00:53:44and cops
00:53:45to find that evil mayor.
00:53:47Those gentlemen
00:53:47in black suits
00:53:48burst right into
00:53:49that room full of lies.
00:53:51Mr. Mayor,
00:53:52this is all the evidence
00:53:53of your corruption,
00:53:54bribery,
00:53:54and abuse of power.
00:53:56You're under arrest.
00:53:57Just like superheroes
00:53:58dropping from the sky
00:54:00in movies.
00:54:01Seeing the bad guy
00:54:02get punished
00:54:02makes me feel so good.
00:54:04This can't be happening!
00:54:05Let go of me!
00:54:06I can give you money!
00:54:08Turns out,
00:54:09there really is justice
00:54:10in this world.
00:54:14The bugs eat
00:54:16all the crops.
00:54:17Miss Ellie kneels
00:54:18in the messy mud
00:54:19without a shred
00:54:20of dignity,
00:54:21like a soulless corpse.
00:54:23Miss Ella cries
00:54:24so hard.
00:54:25She probably doesn't
00:54:26get why God's bugs
00:54:27only ate the fertile
00:54:28wheat field
00:54:29they stole from us.
00:54:30It's gone!
00:54:31It's all gone!
00:54:34We're bankrupt!
00:54:35Ah!
00:54:37Ah!
00:54:40A lot of big machines
00:54:42I've never seen before
00:54:43arrive on this rocky land.
00:54:46Mr. Sterling says
00:54:47they'll make us
00:54:48so much money
00:54:49I won't be able
00:54:50to spend it all
00:54:51in a lifetime.
00:54:59So many people
00:55:00are here today
00:55:01and they're all cheering.
00:55:03I'm so happy
00:55:04because Grandma Ida
00:55:05and I have new clothes on.
00:55:07She takes my hand
00:55:09and we cut the red ribbon.
00:55:12Grandma said
00:55:13flowers planted in rocks
00:55:15bloom brighter
00:55:16than any other.
00:55:18Now,
00:55:19our harsh winter
00:55:20is finally over
00:55:21completely.
00:55:27On this land,
00:55:28we live a peaceful
00:55:30and wealthy life.
00:55:34But I don't know
00:55:35that while we smile
00:55:36in the sun,
00:55:37a venomous snake
00:55:39in the dark
00:55:39is already eyeing us.
00:55:42The news of the oil field
00:55:44attracts someone
00:55:45even greedier
00:55:46than a wild wolf.
00:55:47Forced my downs
00:55:49are too low class.
00:55:50All I need
00:55:51is to snatch
00:55:52Leonez' custody
00:55:53and this oil field
00:55:55is mine.
00:55:57For money
00:55:58and revenge,
00:55:59they sell
00:56:00Grandma Ida
00:56:01and me out.
00:56:05Ida is vulgar
00:56:07and mentally unstable.
00:56:09She carries
00:56:10a hunting rifle
00:56:11everywhere,
00:56:12has violent tendencies
00:56:13and constantly
00:56:15abuses Leonee.
00:56:17Excellent!
00:56:19She's unfit
00:56:20to raise Leonee.
00:56:21I'll be taking
00:56:21over her custody.
00:56:24McLean files
00:56:25a petition
00:56:25to change
00:56:27guardianship
00:56:27at the court,
00:56:28shattering
00:56:29my peaceful life
00:56:30with Grandma Ida.
00:56:34It's a rare,
00:56:35sweet moment,
00:56:36but the screech
00:56:37of brakes
00:56:38shatters the peace.
00:56:39Two bailiffs
00:56:40step out of the car
00:56:42and walk straight up
00:56:43to Grandma Ida.
00:56:44Hello, Mrs. Hanson.
00:56:45We're from the city court.
00:56:47Someone reported you
00:56:47for child abuse
00:56:48and is demanding you
00:56:49hand over Leonez' custody.
00:56:50Grandma Ida is stunned.
00:56:52Once she snaps out of it,
00:56:54she loudly protests
00:56:55and swears she never
00:56:57abused any child.
00:56:59I swear on my life,
00:57:00Grandma Ida
00:57:01is the best person
00:57:03in the world.
00:57:04She has never
00:57:05abused me.
00:57:06Sorry,
00:57:07we're just here
00:57:07to notify you.
00:57:08Direct any questions
00:57:09to the hearing
00:57:10next Wednesday.
00:57:10Until then,
00:57:11you are forbidden
00:57:12from transferring
00:57:12any assets
00:57:13under the girl's name.
00:57:14But my promise
00:57:16is useless
00:57:16because everything
00:57:18will be decided
00:57:18in court.
00:57:20The hearing proceeds
00:57:22as scheduled.
00:57:23For Grandma Ida
00:57:24and me,
00:57:24this isn't a fair
00:57:25trial at all.
00:57:26It's a brutal,
00:57:27one-sided execution.
00:57:28McClain hired
00:57:29top-tilt lawyer Barry
00:57:30with serious cash
00:57:32while we could only
00:57:33find Mr. Sterling.
00:57:34Mrs. Hanson,
00:57:35do you have any idea
00:57:36how to raise
00:57:37a multi-million dollar girl?
00:57:40Or is your only skill
00:57:41abusing people
00:57:42and feeding pigs?
00:57:43You!
00:57:44Lawyer Barry,
00:57:45you should know
00:57:45that you need to present
00:57:46evidence for your claims.
00:57:48Of course.
00:57:48Don't you worry
00:57:49about that.
00:57:50Lawyer Barry
00:57:51uses fancy legal talk
00:57:53to paint Grandma Ida
00:57:54as a violent,
00:57:56ignorant village woman.
00:57:57What's worse,
00:57:59the devil's accomplices
00:58:00take the stand.
00:58:01Your Honor,
00:58:02I saw with my own eyes
00:58:04how Ida forced
00:58:06Leonid to sleep
00:58:07in the barn
00:58:07and eat scraps.
00:58:09You two animals!
00:58:11Shut up!
00:58:12Ella,
00:58:12you're crossing the line.
00:58:14James,
00:58:14is this how you
00:58:15treat your own mother?
00:58:16They take every
00:58:17single horrific thing
00:58:19they did to me
00:58:20and pin it all
00:58:21on Grandma Ida
00:58:22who loves me.
00:58:23Order!
00:58:25If you dare
00:58:26to show contempt
00:58:27of court again,
00:58:28I'll have the bailiffs
00:58:29throw you all
00:58:29in jail instantly!
00:58:31The judge has already
00:58:32been bought off
00:58:33by McClain.
00:58:34He doesn't listen
00:58:34to a word you say.
00:58:36The court leans
00:58:37towards revoking
00:58:38Ida's guardianship,
00:58:40transferring it
00:58:41to McClain's foundation
00:58:42and sending Leonide
00:58:44to a closed
00:58:45boarding school
00:58:46on the east coast.
00:58:47A closed school
00:58:49means I'll be
00:58:50totally at McClain's mercy
00:58:52and our oil wealth
00:58:53will be completely
00:58:54swallowed up.
00:58:55I won't go to school!
00:58:56I don't want to leave
00:58:58Grandma Ida!
00:59:02Everyone holds
00:59:04their breath.
00:59:05The judge is about
00:59:06to strip Grandma Ida
00:59:07of my custody.
00:59:09Whatever is on that paper
00:59:10decides my fate.
00:59:12The bad guy's
00:59:13wicked laughs
00:59:14drill into my ears.
00:59:17Their dirty revenge
00:59:18is about to succeed.
00:59:20Grandma Ida
00:59:21hugs me tight,
00:59:23completely desperate.
00:59:24I glare at those
00:59:25monsters through my tears.
00:59:27I absolutely can't
00:59:29let them take
00:59:29everything from me.
00:59:33I see the massive
00:59:34chandelier crash down,
00:59:36smashing the briefcase
00:59:38next to the judge.
00:59:41Countless papers
00:59:42fly everywhere.
00:59:44Mr. Sterling
00:59:45grabs some key documents.
00:59:47He announces
00:59:47to the courtroom
00:59:48that it's evidence
00:59:49of the judge
00:59:50taking bribes
00:59:51from the sickling.
00:59:52The proof
00:59:53is solid.
00:59:54All their dirty
00:59:55deals are exposed.
00:59:57Despicable!
00:59:58They ganged up
00:59:58to take Leonie away.
01:00:00But now it's all
01:00:00out in the open.
01:00:01Their plot fails.
01:00:02We're done for.
01:00:03Mr. Sterling
01:00:04calls the police.
01:00:06McClain's plot
01:00:07is completely ruined
01:00:09and Miss Ella
01:00:10and the others
01:00:11will get what
01:00:12they deserve.
01:00:13McClain,
01:00:15your dirty money
01:00:16can buy a judge,
01:00:18but it can't
01:00:19buy real justice.
01:00:34Grandma Ada
01:00:35chooses to let
01:00:37Mom Martha
01:00:38hide me
01:00:38in the cellar
01:00:39while she faces
01:00:40the mafia head-on.
01:01:03Give me ten minutes
01:01:05to think about it.
01:01:10Give me ten minutes
01:01:11Grandma pretends
01:01:13to give in
01:01:13just to keep me safe.
01:01:24Grandma Ada
01:01:25has already decided
01:01:27to fight the mafia
01:01:28to the end
01:01:29and Dad Arthur
01:01:31asks Sheriff Harry
01:01:33for backup.
01:01:40The mobsters
01:01:42get ready to strike.
01:01:45But Grandma Ada
01:01:48is faster.
01:01:52Damn it!
01:01:53They have guns!
01:01:54You scumbags
01:01:55want to steal
01:01:56my granddaughter's land?
01:01:58Get off my property
01:02:00right now
01:02:00or I'll send you
01:02:01to hell!
01:02:05The bribe judge
01:02:06is taken away
01:02:07by the police.
01:02:08I finally return
01:02:10to Grandma Ada
01:02:11and the greedy
01:02:12James and Ella
01:02:13become abandoned pawns.
01:02:28Damn you, Ada.
01:02:30This isn't over.
01:02:31McClain doesn't
01:02:33just let it go.
01:02:34He finds the local
01:02:35mafia
01:02:35ready to use
01:02:37violence.
01:02:43Just when we think
01:02:45everything is peaceful
01:02:46again,
01:02:47McClellan's revenge
01:02:48hits fast.
01:02:50Way beyond
01:02:51what any of us
01:02:51expected.
01:02:52I'll go check it out.
01:02:55I walk out
01:02:56with Grandma Ada
01:02:57and the others.
01:02:58We see several cars
01:03:00without license cards
01:03:01smash through
01:03:02the farm gate
01:03:03like mad bulls,
01:03:04completely blocking
01:03:05our escape.
01:03:11They claim
01:03:12McClain sent them.
01:03:14They threaten
01:03:14Grandma Ada
01:03:15to sell the oil field
01:03:16to them dirt cheap,
01:03:17but she refuses
01:03:18to give in.
01:03:19They only give us
01:03:2010 minutes.
01:03:21After 10 minutes,
01:03:22they'll make their move.
01:03:28I wake up
01:03:29to find my hands
01:03:30tied to a rotting
01:03:31wooden post.
01:03:32Ella and James
01:03:32are like wolves
01:03:33ready to devour me.
01:03:34Once we get the money,
01:03:35we'll throw you down
01:03:37an abandoned mine shaft
01:03:38to feed the rats!
01:03:39Let's go.
01:03:40We should check
01:03:41the situation outside.
01:03:43They leave,
01:03:44and I'm all alone
01:03:45in the abandoned mine.
01:03:47I'm so scared,
01:03:48but I can't just do nothing.
01:03:49They'll use me
01:03:50to threaten Grandma Ada.
01:03:51I can't let them
01:03:52get away with it.
01:03:53Thank God.
01:03:55The lalt rope
01:03:55falls off on its own.
01:03:57Is that Firefly
01:03:59leading the way for me?
01:04:09Ah!
01:04:10The little bitch escaped!
01:04:12Miss Ella quickly
01:04:13notices I'm gone.
01:04:15She and James
01:04:16are searching for me.
01:04:20The harsh light flashes
01:04:21right past my feet.
01:04:23I'm gonna be found.
01:04:25What do I do?
01:04:26Save me,
01:04:27Grandma Ada.
01:04:28Dad!
01:04:34To protect me
01:04:35and our home,
01:04:37Grandma Odd
01:04:38and Dad Arthur
01:04:38get into a shootout
01:04:40with the mob.
01:04:44But nobody knows
01:04:46that two greedy coyotes
01:04:48are sneaking
01:04:50into our
01:04:51defenseless backyard.
01:05:05That bitch Martha
01:05:07took the little bastard
01:05:08in there.
01:05:09This is our best chance.
01:05:11Whether the mob
01:05:12or Mother wins,
01:05:13we're dead either way.
01:05:15Catching Lionel
01:05:16is our only leverage.
01:05:24The constant gunshots
01:05:26outside make me
01:05:27super anxious.
01:05:29Just then,
01:05:30the cellar door
01:05:30suddenly opens.
01:05:32Is it Grandma Ada
01:05:33and the others
01:05:33coming back?
01:05:34Grandma Ada?
01:05:41It's you!
01:05:42Get out of here
01:05:43right now!
01:05:44My dear sister Martha,
01:05:46that old hag
01:05:47Ada is busy
01:05:47fighting the mob.
01:05:49Let's see who comes
01:05:50to save you this time.
01:05:51They'll want to kidnap me,
01:05:52but Mom Martha
01:05:53stands in front of me
01:05:55to protect me.
01:06:01Stop fighting you little brat!
01:06:03You're our cash cow!
01:06:04Ella grabs me,
01:06:05clamping a towel
01:06:06soaked in pungent chemicals
01:06:08tightly over my nose
01:06:09and mouth.
01:06:10Intense busyness
01:06:11instantly pierces my brain.
01:06:13Hurry up!
01:06:13Get her in the sack!
01:06:14We don't have much time!
01:06:16Grandma Ada
01:06:16and the others
01:06:17hide in the cellar
01:06:18to dodge the mob,
01:06:19but...
01:06:23Martha, wake up!
01:06:28Mother Arthur,
01:06:31James and Ella
01:06:32took Leonese.
01:06:35Grandma Ada
01:06:36and the others
01:06:37are trapped.
01:06:38The mob
01:06:39is searching for us.
01:06:41Grandma Ada
01:06:42and Dad Arthur
01:06:43wait for Sheriff Harry,
01:06:45but he doesn't show up
01:06:47because the mob
01:06:47has him pinned down, too.
01:06:50It's all my fault.
01:06:52I didn't protect Leonese.
01:06:55Mom lost me
01:06:57and she feels
01:06:58incredibly guilty.
01:07:03Let's take them down with us.
01:07:09The mob finds Mom Martha
01:07:11and the others.
01:07:22you're out of bullets, right?
01:07:26Say your prayers.
01:07:27But right then,
01:07:29a deafening roar
01:07:30interrupts Victor.
01:07:37Who's this nosy bastard?
01:07:39You got a death wish?
01:07:46He is...
01:07:48He is...
01:07:50He is...
01:07:51He is...
01:07:57Where is my daughter?
01:07:59Leo!
01:08:01Leo!
01:08:02Leonese
01:08:02real father!
01:08:06That tall man, like a god of war, my father Leo, rushes to Grandma anxiously, asking where I am.
01:08:16Grandma Ada blasts the venomous McLean's plant and Ella's shameless kidnapping.
01:08:22Luckily, Sheriff Harry arrives at the scene and quickly takes down the rest of the mobsters.
01:08:30Mrs. Hansen, please forgive me for being late. That mob sent people to block us.
01:08:35Seeing my father alive, Sheriff Harry is so shocked he can barely hold his gun.
01:08:40My father explains he faked his death to carry out a top secret mission.
01:08:44By the way, my men saw Ella and James heading toward the abandoned mine out west.
01:08:49Thank you, Harry.
01:08:57But right now, the blinding flashlight beam pins me down like a viper's tongue.
01:09:03Catch her! She can't get far!
01:09:05I can't let them catch me.
01:09:07That'll just cause more trouble for Grandma Ada.
01:09:11Save me, Dad.
01:09:21Leone!
01:09:23I run through the tunnel for my life, but those heavy footsteps follow me like a death sentence.
01:09:31James catches up to me quickly.
01:09:34He grabs my hair tight, slams me hard onto the cold, rocky ground, and talks with Miss Ella about breaking
01:09:41my legs.
01:09:41The huge rock is about to smash my legs.
01:09:44I can almost hear my bones breaking.
01:09:46Someone, please save me.
01:09:49Who? Who is it?
01:09:50Do you have any idea who you're messing with?
01:09:55No! Don't kill me!
01:09:57You can take the girl. She's worth an oil field.
01:09:59You'll be rich!
01:10:00I hear Ella's terrified voice in the dark.
01:10:03Did someone save me?
01:10:20Dad?
01:10:26Dad?
01:10:27Dad?
01:10:27It's Dad.
01:10:28He saves me.
01:10:29I knew he wasn't dead.
01:10:30My daughter.
01:10:31Leonith.
01:10:32Dad's embrace is as warm as the midday sun.
01:10:36It instantly drives away all the cold and fear in the mine.
01:10:40Dad carefully checks me for injuries.
01:10:43Luckily, Miss Ella and the others haven't hurt me yet.
01:10:46Dad takes me out of the pitch black mine.
01:10:50Grandma Ada and the others find us too.
01:10:53Grandma Ada checks every inch of me.
01:10:55She only relaxes after making sure I'm not hurt.
01:10:59Leonie!
01:11:00My sweet baby, are you okay?
01:11:04Grandma Ada furiously scolds Miss Ella and James.
01:11:09Sheriff Harry arrives and arrests them.
01:11:11The bad guys are taken away.
01:11:13No!
01:11:14Mother, please forgive me!
01:11:16It's over.
01:11:17It's all over.
01:11:18No!
01:11:19And Dad is finally back.
01:11:21I hold Grandma's hand tightly with one hand and grip Dad broad, warm hand with the other.
01:11:31Dad promises me he will come back.
01:11:34Grandma Ada tells me Dad is going to catch the bad guy.
01:11:38The one behind this whole conspiracy.
01:11:42Dad tells me to stay here and be good.
01:11:45He has to go take care of something.
01:12:01Glane messes everything up.
01:12:03After finding out Dad's identity, he decides to flee immediately.
01:12:10Dammit!
01:12:10Why does he have a military background?!
01:12:20McLean jumps into his car in a panic.
01:12:22But they don't even make it out of the estate gates.
01:12:25Get us out of here.
01:12:27As fast as you can.
01:12:28Now!
01:12:34My dad blocks their way.
01:12:36McLean gives the order.
01:12:38And the car doesn't slow down.
01:12:41They want to run my dad over.
01:12:43Facing the speeding beast, Dad doesn't panic.
01:12:47He calmly pulls out his gun and shoots.
01:12:55Dad's perfect Braithee marksmanship flips the bad guy's car.
01:13:00McLean can't escape.
01:13:02Don't kill me!
01:13:03I'll give you 10 million!
01:13:05Keep your money.
01:13:06You'll need it to buy your way into hell.
01:13:10McLean stands in the dock in a prison uniform.
01:13:14Totally stripped of his former arrogance.
01:13:18Dad not only catches McLean himself,
01:13:21but also gathers all the evidence of his crimes.
01:13:25No elite lawyer can save him now.
01:13:29McLean...
01:13:31Do you have anything to say?
01:13:33No.
01:13:35I confess to my crimes.
01:13:38In the end,
01:13:40McLean is sentenced to life in prison
01:13:42and stripped of all his assets.
01:13:54As for Miss Ella and James,
01:13:57they get their due punishment too.
01:14:0030 years in prison.
01:14:01They deserve it.
01:14:02All the bad guys are locked up and I finally have my dad back.
01:14:08A much better life is waiting for us.
01:14:13Dad's hand is so warm and I feel so comfortable right now.
01:14:18He promises he'll never leave my side again.
01:14:21Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.
01:14:23Our family must have a proper celebration.
01:14:32The fire cracklers and the smell of roast turkey and pumpkin pie
01:14:37fills the whole house.
01:14:40This is a Thanksgiving dinner
01:14:42I couldn't even dare to dream of.
01:14:45Grandma Ada and the family call me their little angel.
01:14:48They say they have this life now because of me.
01:14:51My dad also thanks Grandma Ada
01:14:54because she took me in.
01:14:56If it weren't for her,
01:14:57I wouldn't be here today.
01:15:05Even without blood ties,
01:15:07I've considered them my real family for a long time.
01:15:17This is the only thing your mom left behind.
01:15:20She got separated from her family in a dust storm.
01:15:22Her wish was to find them.
01:15:24Now I'm passing it on to you.
01:15:26I take my mom's belonging
01:15:28and beside me, Grandma Ada suddenly freezes
01:15:31as if she's been electrocuted.
01:15:37Oh my God!
01:15:38Leonie!
01:15:39Your mother is my biological daughter
01:15:41who went missing 30 years ago!
01:15:44I gave her this pocket watch!
01:15:46You are Margaret's child!
01:15:47Nobody saw this coming.
01:15:49My mom is actually
01:15:50Aide Grandma Ada's daughter.
01:15:56I hug Grandma Aide tight.
01:15:58No, she's my real grandma.
01:16:00She's my actual family.
01:16:02Grandma Ada!
01:16:03You're my real grandma!
01:16:05Yes, my sweet girl.
01:16:07I'm your grandma.
01:16:08Forever.
01:16:09Thank God.
01:16:10We truly are family.
01:16:12Not only do I have my dad back,
01:16:14but Grandma Ada is my biological grandmother.
01:16:16I'm so lucky and so happy.
01:16:18Happy Thanksgivings everyone!
01:16:20Let's eat!
01:16:25The nightmare is over.
01:16:27Thanks to the oil field,
01:16:30everyone in the village can afford to eat
01:16:32and wear warm clothes.
01:16:34Dad plays with me every day.
01:16:37I feel like the happiest kid in the world.
01:16:41And my Grandma Ada,
01:16:43she no longer needs her mean disguise.
01:16:47She is now the most generous old lady in the whole village.
01:16:51Take a break if you're tired.
01:16:56Grandma Ada!
01:16:59Hi!
01:17:01Grandma Ada!
01:17:04Oh my!
01:17:06My little Leona looks so pretty today!
01:17:11Leona needs to go to school in the city.
01:17:13I'm taking her there myself.
01:17:14Dad, will the city people bully me?
01:17:17Don't worry.
01:17:19Dad will protect you.
01:17:20I am so incredibly happy now.
01:17:23All the misfortunes of the past are gone.
01:17:25I feel so blessed because I finally have a home that will never fall apart.
01:17:34I'm Leona, and I'm seven.
01:17:36The whole town of Oakhaven thinks I'm cursed.
01:17:40I haven't eaten all day.
01:17:42I just stared at the black bread in my aunt's hand.
01:17:53And she whipped me bloody with a thorny vine.
01:17:58What are you looking at?
01:17:59I gave you a soup lass and you still steal food!
01:18:02You!
01:18:03Good for nothing leech!
01:18:06Aunt Grace slammed the heavy farm tool right onto me.
01:18:10Stop playing dead!
01:18:11If you don't finish before sunset, forget about dinner!
01:18:14My hands are covered in cuts, and the broken blisters sting interribly.
01:18:19But I have to work, or I'll be thrown out into the wild.
01:18:25Under the scorching sun, I starved and dragged myself to the field.
01:18:29Passing villagers just pointed and whispered.
01:18:32They said Aunt Grace kept all my dad's military pension from the war.
01:18:36But they only pitied me in secret.
01:18:38No one dared to help.
01:18:39Look at the poor thing.
01:18:40Grace is an absolute monster.
01:18:43She spreads rumors that Leonae is the cursed child who brought the dust storms.
01:18:48Good lord, it breaks my heart.
01:18:50Just then, Mrs. Hannon showed up.
01:18:53She's the meanest, greediest woman in town.
01:18:56Oh, look at this!
01:18:58She just snatched people's seeds.
01:18:59Dirt in Oak Haven is growing its own seeds.
01:19:02Since you don't want them, I'll take them.
01:19:03Ada! You wicked hag! Stealing our seeds?
01:19:07Have you no shame?
01:19:08You dropped them them yourself, and now you're framing me?
01:19:12Mrs. Hannon raised her tool looking so fierce.
01:19:16She scared them away.
01:19:17Mrs. Hannon looked like a wicked witch.
01:19:20Everyone was scared of her.
01:19:21Back off! Don't even think about stealing my seeds!
01:19:23And so was I.
01:19:24I'm sorry, Mrs. Hannon.
01:19:26I'll move over there.
01:19:28But I couldn't run.
01:19:29I had to finish Aunt Grace's work.
01:19:34The sun felt like it was burning a hole in my head.
01:19:37I couldn't hold on anymore.
01:19:40Everything went black, and I crashed into the mud.
01:19:47Hey!
01:19:48You wretched girl!
