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, and she whipped me bloody with a thorny vine.
00:00:25What are you looking at? I gave you a soup last, and you still steal food! You! Good-for-nothing
00:00:32leech!
00:00:34Aunt Grace slammed the heavy farm tool right onto me. Stop playing dead! If you don't finish before sunset, forget
00:00:41about 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.
00:01:27Dirt in Oak Haven is growing its own seeds! Since you don't want them, I'll take them.
00:01:31Ada! You wicked hag! Stealing our seeds? Have you no shame?
00:01:36You dropped them them yourself, and now you're framing me?
00:01:40Mrs. Hannon raised her tool looking so fierce. She scared them away.
00:01:45Mrs. Hanson looked like a wicked witch. Everyone was scared of her.
00:01:49Back off! Don't even think about stealing my seeds!
00:01:51And 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.
00:02:16Hey! 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.
00:02:47Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
00:02:58And the red blood on her, Mrs. Hanson.
00:02:58The red blood on her, Mrs. Hanson.
00:02:59And the red blood on her, Mrs. Hanson!
00:02:59I!
00:03:01That's all for her.
00:03:06The red blood on her...
00:03:06L-ансing.
00:03:08The red blood on her!
00:03:08The red blood on her!
00:03:09She's now.
00:03:10The red blood on her.
00:03:10Mrs. Hansen, you dropped your bread.
00:03:12It 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.
00:05:02Grace is a wicked, heartless witch!
00:05:05What a bastard!
00:05:09Why did you come to my house anyway?
00:05:11Out 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 freeloaner.
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!
00:05:48I'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.
00:06:14Sweetness Martha gave me the best piece of meat.
00:06:16I didn't want to eat it.
00:06:17I wanted to repay Mrs. Hansen for keeping me warm.
00:06:21But just as she went to take her first bite,
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.
00:06:58Miss Ella is furious she didn't get to eat the meat.
00:07:01But 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.
00:07:46I'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!
00:08:47Even with the glass cutting my fingers
00:08:49and 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!
00:09:13The thunderous roar shocks everyone.
00:09:17The burly Sheriff Harry violently shoves my aunt away.
00:09:21He drops to one knee in the mud and lifts my bloody body.
00:09:25Mr. Carter, tell me my dad isn't dead.
00:09:27They're just lying to me, right?
00:09:29I beg him in despair,
00:09:30but looking at my mangled hands,
00:09:33Mr. Carter painfully closes his eyes.
00:09:35In 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!
00:09:48How dare you treat her like this!
00:09:50She's a jinx!
00:09:51I 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
00:10:14and humbly begs the villagers
00:10:15to each chip in a little food
00:10:17to 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,
00:10:37Mr. Carter drags me toward his carriage.
00:10:40I click frantically,
00:10:42digging my nails deep into the dirt,
00:10:44my face covered in blood and tears.
00:10:46I don't want to go to the workhouse!
00:10:47I want to wait for Dad right here!
00:10:50Please don't send me away!
00:10:53Just as I'm about to be stuffed into the carriage,
00:10:56I see a skinny but determined figure
00:10:58burst through the crowd.
00:11:00It's Miss Martha.
00:11:01Enough!
00:11:02Nobody 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
00:11:24and says the workhouse will feed me,
00:11:26I still grip Miss Martha's clothes tightly.
00:11:29She's the last bit of light I can hold on to.
00:11:34Miss Martha,
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.
00:11:42As long as I have a bite to eat,
00:11:45she won't starve.
00:11:46How bizarre.
00:11:47Someone actually wants to raise this jinx.
00:11:49Martha,
00:11:50I suggest you prepare a coffin
00:11:52for your sick husband first.
00:11:53Right then,
00:11:54Miss Ella,
00:11:55heavily pregnant,
00:11:56suddenly stormed out.
00:11:58Martha!
00:11:58Are you insane?
00:12:00She's just a freeloading jinx!
00:12:02Where on earth do we have the money
00:12:04to raise a stray?
00:12:05Everyone is saying
00:12:07Mrs. Hanson will kick me out.
00:12:09Martha,
00:12:09your family has no extra money
00:12:11or food either.
00:12:12Your mother-in-law
00:12:13will probably just throw her out again tomorrow.
00:12:16You gutter rats!
00:12:19Is talking trash behind people's backs
00:12:22all you're good for in this life?
00:12:23Mrs. Hanson shows up
00:12:25with a dark scowl.
00:12:26Everyone expects her
00:12:27to throw me back into the wild.
00:12:29But the next second,
00:12:31a crisp slap echoes out
00:12:32and the whole yard
00:12:34falls dead silent.
00:12:42You idiot!
00:12:44Don't think being pregnant
00:12:45makes you untouchable.
00:12:46How dare you come out here
00:12:47spewing lies!
00:12:49Now,
00:12:49get your ass back home now!
00:12:58Taking Leonie in
00:13:00was my call.
00:13:01Anyone else got something to say?
00:13:03I'll shatter your bones
00:13:05with this pole!
00:13:07Mrs. Hanson's words
00:13:09hit like a bombshell.
00:13:11She's actually taking me.
00:13:12Turns out,
00:13:13even in this freezing world,
00:13:15someone is willing
00:13:16to face the backlash
00:13:17for a jinx like me.
00:13:19Ada,
00:13:20you've been a cheap shooter
00:13:21your 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,
00:13:36it was crickets.
00:13:37Now I step up,
00:13:38and suddenly you've all
00:13:39got an opinion?
00:13:40You want her?
00:13:41Take her!
00:13:42No?
00:13:42Then shut your mouths!
00:13:45Listen up, Leonie.
00:13:47You'll be cold,
00:13:48hungry,
00:13:49and working your fingers
00:13:50to the bone.
00:13:51Can you handle that?
00:13:53I can!
00:13:54I'll wash clothes,
00:13:55gather wood,
00:13:56and take care of Mr. Arthur.
00:13:58When I'm older,
00:13:59I swear I'll make it up to you!
00:14:01All right, then.
00:14:02From now on,
00:14:03I'm your grandma,
00:14:04and Martha is your mom.
00:14:07Grandma.
00:14:10Mom.
00:14:13Not so fast!
00:14:14You want the kid?
00:14:15You owe me rations
00:14:17for my trouble!
00:14:17Are you crazy,
00:14:19Grace?
00:14:19You just refused
00:14:20to take her!
00:14:21You can't shake Ada
00:14:22down 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,
00:14:33or 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?
00:14:54We're writing a contract
00:14:56to cut all ties right here.
00:14:58From this moment on,
00:15:00Leon has nothing to do with you two animals.
00:15:02dead or alive,
00:15:03we go our separate ways.
00:15:05Fine by me!
00:15:07Who wants this jinx anyway?
00:15:09Thomas,
00:15:09go write up the contract!
00:15:14Just as Aunt Grace
00:15:15smugly carries the flour inside,
00:15:18she trips over nothing.
00:15:20The flour she traded me for
00:15:22is completely blown away
00:15:24by the wind.
00:15:48See that?
00:15:50God is watching!
00:15:52Leonie,
00:15:53let's go home!
00:15:54For the first time,
00:15:55the cramped cabin feels warm from the fire.
00:15:59Mrs. Hanson curses the whole time,
00:16:01calling the thick wool blanket
00:16:03Miss Martha spent three months knitting
00:16:04a piece of junk,
00:16:06but she tosses it right into my arms.
00:16:08This junk is stiff and stinky!
00:16:10Hurry up and make a bed for this unlucky brat,
00:16:12and don't get my floor dirty!
00:16:16Grandma Ada calls that beautiful wool blanket
00:16:19junk,
00:16:20but she has sick Mr. Arthur
00:16:22tuck me in with it.
00:16:23In this moment,
00:16:25I finally have a home.
00:16:27Thank you, Grandma.
00:16:29Thank you, Mom.
00:16:33Thank you, Mr. Arthur.
00:16:36Mr. Arthur tells me to call him Dad.
00:16:38He says until my real Dad comes back,
00:16:41he'll protect me with his life.
00:16:42I'm finally not an unwanted kid anymore.
00:16:50Good Lord!
00:16:53How could that wicked woman do this?
00:16:55Martha,
00:16:56go sell my wool coat.
00:16:58Use the money to build up her strength.
00:17:01To buy me meat.
00:17:02Dad even wants to sell his winter coat.
00:17:04Grandma slams the table and stops him,
00:17:07because without it,
00:17:08Dad won't survive the winter.
00:17:10Mom cries and says,
00:17:11the doctor told them a natural hot spring
00:17:13could turn Dad's health around.
00:17:15But in Oak Haven,
00:17:16where it hasn't rained in three years,
00:17:19that'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 give up ten years of my life for Dad's health.
00:17:32I run to the back hill,
00:17:34wanting to do more chores for the family.
00:17:37With a loud pop,
00:17:38I easily pull a deep-rooted stump
00:17:41right out of the ground.
00:17:43Then,
00:17:44a blast of hot,
00:17:45wet steam
00:17:46shoots into the sky like a giant dragon.
00:17:49Grandma!
00:17:50Mom!
00:17:51Come out quick!
00:17:52I broke the ground!
00:17:55Hearing my scream,
00:17:57Grandma Ad rushes over first.
00:18:00I think I broke the earth
00:18:01and caused a huge disaster.
00:18:04But when she touches the boiling water
00:18:06with trembling hands,
00:18:07she laughs
00:18:08and cries
00:18:09like a kid.
00:18:11It's hot!
00:18:12The water is hot!
00:18:13It's a natural hot spring!
00:18:36It's a hot spring!
00:18:37A hot spring!
00:18:38It's a real hot spring!
00:18:41Arthur!
00:18:43My son!
00:18:44The doctor said a hot spring
00:18:46could save your lungs!
00:18:47You're saved!
00:18:49Mom hugs me tight
00:18:50and kisses my face in excitement.
00:18:52She says I'm an angel sent by God.
00:18:55It turns out I'm not unwanted trash.
00:18:57I can be someone's salvation too.
00:19:01But when I happily return to the yard,
00:19:04I'm greeted by two icy faces.
00:19:07Miss Ella and Aunt Grace
00:19:08are whispering together.
00:19:10Their glares pierce my heart
00:19:12like poisoned swords.
00:19:14What rotten luck!
00:19:16We're already too poor to eat
00:19:17and now we have to share food with her.
00:19:19Ella,
00:19:19I'm telling you,
00:19:21stay away from them.
00:19:22That Leone brings nothing but bad luck.
00:19:30But remembering bad
00:19:32spent all his money on medicine.
00:19:34I can't bear to see this family
00:19:36tear itself apart over me.
00:19:38Miss Ella,
00:19:40please don't be mad.
00:19:41I won't fight for anything.
00:19:43I'll help take care of the baby
00:19:45and I won't eat the good food.
00:19:49Liar!
00:19:50Are you gonna let her pass her bad luck
00:19:52to your son?
00:19:53Her curse will kill your son!
00:19:56Pete!
00:20:03Get lost!
00:20:04Don't touch me with your dirty hands!
00:20:16Aunt Grace screams that I'm a monster
00:20:19who kills families,
00:20:21pushing Miss Ella to attack me.
00:20:23Just as I try to beg again,
00:20:25Ella winds up
00:20:26and slaps me hard across the face.
00:20:32My face burns like it's on fire.
00:20:34But I don't cry.
00:20:36Grandma Ada told me
00:20:38if I'm bullied and oppressed,
00:20:40I have to fight back.
00:20:41Leone,
00:20:42you are a child of this house.
00:20:44When you get bullied,
00:20:46you fight back.
00:20:47Grandma helps me raise my hand
00:20:49and aim at Aunt Grace,
00:20:51who's waiting for a laugh.
00:20:53The stone hits her shoulder dead end.
00:20:55Ouch!
00:20:55My shoulders hurt!
00:20:57Help!
00:20:57I watch Aunt Grace run away.
00:20:59She used to seem like a giant fence to me.
00:21:03But now,
00:21:03she looks like a panicked gray rat
00:21:06scurrying around.
00:21:07Grandma Ada
00:21:08is like a massive tree
00:21:10shielding me from the storm.
00:21:11She publicly announces
00:21:13she's cutting ties with Miss Ella.
00:21:15Leone is my chosen granddaughter!
00:21:17She's no jinx!
00:21:18Mother!
00:21:19Your real grandson is right here.
00:21:21Arthur is a cripple,
00:21:22and Martha can't have kids.
00:21:23If you insist on keeping this jinx,
00:21:25we're cutting ties.
00:21:26Fine, I agree.
00:21:28Mom and Dad
00:21:29pull Grandma's sleeves,
00:21:30begging her not to act rashly.
00:21:33But she firmly refuses.
00:21:35As long as this toxic woman,
00:21:37Ella, is around,
00:21:39our family will never have
00:21:41a normal life!
00:21:42I'm kicking this wicked woman out
00:21:44today!
00:21:46Cutting ties is no big deal.
00:21:48But get the best house
00:21:50and the biggest part of the farm!
00:21:52Done!
00:21:54You can have it!
00:21:56Just get out of my sight!
00:21:58Ella,
00:22:00don't hesitate!
00:22:01Cut ties with them!
00:22:03And your husband's money
00:22:05will be all yours!
00:22:06Do you want Leonise
00:22:08to bring bad luck
00:22:09to you and your baby?
00:22:11Don't forget,
00:22:13her unlucky dad
00:22:14just died in the war!
00:22:16My dad isn't dead!
00:22:18He's coming back!
00:22:20He'll come back
00:22:21and make you pay!
00:22:22Stop dreaming!
00:22:24He was blown to ashes long ago!
00:22:26You won't even find his bones!
00:22:29Leonise's bad luck
00:22:30will drag the whole town down!
00:22:32Just watch!
00:22:34Soon you won't even have mud to eat!
00:22:36I'm not a jinx!
00:22:38Grandma Ada says
00:22:39I brought good luck!
00:22:41You're a bad person!
00:22:43Get out of my house!
00:22:48Aunt Grace's laughter suddenly stops
00:22:51as the roar of an engine
00:22:53where the steel monster
00:22:55shatters the silence
00:22:57of the wasteland
00:22:57and traces backwards
00:22:59and the car door opens
00:23:01and a tall man
00:23:02covered in metal
00:23:03steps out.
00:23:04I don't even need
00:23:05to see his face.
00:23:07The pounding
00:23:07in my blood
00:23:08gives me the answer.
00:23:10Dad!
00:23:19The majestic maid
00:23:21decorated with metals
00:23:22gives me a solemn salute.
00:23:24I thought God
00:23:26heard my prayers
00:23:27and brought Dad back
00:23:28but that cold
00:23:30purple heart
00:23:31tells me
00:23:32I'll never feel
00:23:33his hug again.
00:23:40Captain Leo
00:23:41protected our country
00:23:42with his life.
00:23:43This honour belongs
00:23:44to him
00:23:44and to his only daughter
00:23:46Leonie.
00:23:47The Major pulls out
00:23:48a thick paper bag.
00:23:50Inside is $5,000
00:23:52from my dad's
00:23:53military pension.
00:23:54I don't know
00:23:55how much that is
00:23:56but I hear the adults
00:23:58saying it could buy
00:23:59a mountain of bread
00:24:00covered in sugar
00:24:01and jam.
00:24:03Aunt Grace
00:24:04and Uncle Thomas
00:24:05pop out of nowhere.
00:24:06One second
00:24:07they want to throw me
00:24:08into the wild
00:24:08and the next
00:24:09they put on fake smiles
00:24:10and try to drag me home.
00:24:12Uncle Thomas grips
00:24:13my 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
00:24:21acts like a lioness
00:24:22protecting her cub
00:24:23and rips up my sleeve.
00:24:25Those rotting frostbites
00:24:27and bruises
00:24:27look so layering
00:24:29in the sunlight.
00:24:30Look sir!
00:24:30Living with these
00:24:31two heartless scumbags,
00:24:32Leonie starves,
00:24:33freezes and gets beaten
00:24:34every single day.
00:24:36It's absolutely
00:24:37heartbreaking!
00:24:43You!
00:24:46How dare you
00:24:47treat a hero's
00:24:48only daughter
00:24:49like an animal!
00:24:52Aunt Grace is still lying.
00:24:54She points at my bloody wounds
00:24:55and lies with a straight face
00:24:57that I fell while playing.
00:24:58But I see the neighbors
00:24:59shaking their heads.
00:25:00They all know
00:25:01it's not true.
00:25:03Bullshit!
00:25:04I saw you buy new leather boots
00:25:06in the city
00:25:06with the military pay
00:25:07while you made this poor kid
00:25:08gnaw on spoiled potato peels
00:25:09in the snow!
00:25:10Yeah!
00:25:11She even lost the kid
00:25:12in the barn to beat her!
00:25:13We all heard the scream!
00:25:15The major's face
00:25:16is as dark
00:25:17as a stormy sky.
00:25:18He waves his white-gloved hand
00:25:19and orders their arrest.
00:25:21Uncle Thomas
00:25:22is taken away
00:25:23but Aunt Grace
00:25:24avoids arrest
00:25:24because she has a baby
00:25:25to take care of.
00:25:29Watching the jeep
00:25:30drive away
00:25:30I don't feel
00:25:31the thrill of revenge.
00:25:33I just think
00:25:33that maybe justice
00:25:34really does come
00:25:35to this desolate look.
00:25:39I thought with $5,000
00:25:41my new home
00:25:42would be safe.
00:25:43I never expected
00:25:44trouble to come so fast.
00:25:46Miss Ella bursts
00:25:47through the door
00:25:47and her stare
00:25:48at that pile of cash
00:25:49is even scarier
00:25:51than Aunt Grace's.
00:25:53I'm carrying
00:25:54the only heir
00:25:55to this family.
00:25:56We should get
00:25:57half of that $5,000.
00:25:59James keeps his head down
00:26:00for money.
00:26:02He doesn't even dare
00:26:03look at his sick brother.
00:26:05They aren't trying
00:26:06to steal money.
00:26:07They're trying
00:26:07to steal my last memory
00:26:09of my dad.
00:26:10Nobody is touching
00:26:11this money
00:26:12including you.
00:26:14From now on
00:26:15we live our own lives.
00:26:17Get out of my house.
00:26:18For me
00:26:19Grandma kicks
00:26:21her own son
00:26:21out of the house.
00:26:22She rubs my head
00:26:24and says
00:26:25as long as she's here
00:26:27no one will touch
00:26:28a single hair
00:26:29on my head.
00:26:35Grandma Ada
00:26:36locks the money
00:26:37in an iron box
00:26:38under the bed.
00:26:39She tells me
00:26:40that money
00:26:41could buy
00:26:41lots of pretty clothes
00:26:43and candy.
00:26:44But my dad
00:26:45traded his life
00:26:46for it
00:26:47so we can't
00:26:48waste a single penny.
00:26:51Dad's gut ranking
00:26:52coughs come
00:26:53from the back room.
00:26:56He begs mom
00:26:57from his sick bed
00:26:58to stop worrying
00:26:59about him
00:27:00and to save
00:27:01the last bite
00:27:01of food for me.
00:27:19The cracked earth
00:27:21in the blackwood forest
00:27:22looks like countless mouths
00:27:23laughing at our poverty.
00:27:25Starving people
00:27:26have stripped away
00:27:27every chewable piece
00:27:28of tree bark
00:27:29in this hell hole.
00:27:30Mom leans on her stick
00:27:32wandering the wasteland
00:27:33in despair.
00:27:34Just as mom
00:27:35is about to collapse
00:27:37I trip hard
00:27:39over a tree root
00:27:40in the flying dust.
00:27:45I actually find
00:27:47a few heavy
00:27:48dirty
00:27:48weird looking stones.
00:27:53Mom says
00:27:54they're useless rocks
00:27:56and tells me
00:27:57to throw them away.
00:27:58But right as she
00:27:59reaches out
00:28:00something weird
00:28:01happens again.
00:28:05The festivit dies
00:28:07on the spot
00:28:07and rolls
00:28:09right to mom's feet.
00:28:11Aunt Grace
00:28:11called me a jinx.
00:28:13But now
00:28:15God himself
00:28:16has delivered
00:28:17dinner to me.
00:28:27Mom is finally
00:28:28smiling.
00:28:30When she smiles
00:28:31the wrinkles
00:28:32around her eyes
00:28:33look like pretty flowers.
00:28:35If good luck
00:28:36is real
00:28:37I want to give it
00:28:38all to the people
00:28:39who treat me well.
00:28:42But this is just
00:28:44the beginning.
00:28:45I actually
00:28:46dig up some lumpy
00:28:47white roots
00:28:48from the dirt
00:28:48that smell
00:28:49amazing.
00:28:51Mom says
00:28:52they're wild mushrooms.
00:28:54They smell so good.
00:28:56I don't know
00:28:57what they are
00:28:57but mom says
00:28:59we can sell them
00:28:59for money
00:29:00so they must be good.
00:29:03Golden grease
00:29:04bubbles in the pan.
00:29:06The white mushrooms
00:29:07mom sliced.
00:29:09Release
00:29:10an incredible
00:29:11mind-blowing smell
00:29:12in the heat.
00:29:14Even bed-roan
00:29:15Papa Arthur
00:29:15can't help
00:29:16but sit up.
00:29:23You're clearly
00:29:24an angel
00:29:25bringing good luck
00:29:26yet they call you
00:29:26a witch-bringing disaster.
00:29:28What a bunch
00:29:29of blind idiots.
00:29:30But the smell
00:29:31brings trouble too.
00:29:33Miss Ella bursts in
00:29:34drooling so much
00:29:36it almost drips
00:29:37into our pot.
00:29:38She points to the air
00:29:40in her belly
00:29:40and demands
00:29:41the biggest bowl
00:29:42of meat.
00:29:45This time
00:29:46Grandma Ada
00:29:47doesn't even
00:29:48look back.
00:29:49The heavy
00:29:49bloody meat
00:29:50crawler in her hand
00:29:52just flies
00:29:52across the room.
00:29:54With Grandma here
00:29:54no one can bully us.
00:29:56Take one more
00:29:57step into my yard
00:29:58and I'll chop
00:29:58your feet off.
00:29:59Get lost!
00:30:03This is the first time
00:30:05I've ever had
00:30:06a full stomach.
00:30:07I don't have to
00:30:07shiver in a freezing
00:30:08haystack
00:30:09and no one
00:30:10is pulling my hair.
00:30:12I eat the delicious
00:30:13chicken
00:30:13and the air smells
00:30:15like pure happiness.
00:30:33Papa Arthur says
00:30:35his lungs feel warm
00:30:36and he can finally
00:30:37breathe easier.
00:30:39Mom says
00:30:40those white mushrooms
00:30:42we found
00:30:42will definitely
00:30:43sell for a good price.
00:30:45If we can buy
00:30:46medicine
00:30:47Papa will be saved.
00:30:50The blowing
00:30:51yellow sand
00:30:52can't hide
00:30:52how run down
00:30:53the market is.
00:30:55Mom and I
00:30:55huddle in a corner
00:30:56carefully laying out
00:30:57those lumpy
00:30:58white roots.
00:30:59I don't know it yet
00:31:00but these wild
00:31:01mushrooms are called
00:31:02white gold
00:31:03on the tables
00:31:04of rich city folks.
00:31:05And then she
00:31:07started begging
00:31:08her cousin Mark.
00:31:09She kept
00:31:10pulling on his
00:31:11sleeve
00:31:12and crying.
00:31:14She wanted
00:31:15Mark uncle
00:31:16to get Thomas
00:31:17out of jail.
00:31:24Mark is
00:31:25impatiently
00:31:26trying to push
00:31:27her away.
00:31:27Then he notices
00:31:29us in the corner.
00:31:33A Aunt Grace
00:31:34blames me
00:31:34for all her tragedies.
00:31:39Leone!
00:31:40You're the reason
00:31:42my life
00:31:43is ruined!
00:31:46Aunt Grace's face
00:31:48is uglier
00:31:49than dead bark
00:31:49in the Blackwood
00:31:50Forest.
00:31:52For the
00:31:52five thousand dollars
00:31:54she brought
00:31:54her bully cousin
00:31:55Mark
00:31:55who works
00:31:56at the town hall.
00:31:58They stare
00:31:59at Mom and me
00:32:00like starving wolves.
00:32:04Mom and I
00:32:05guard our stall.
00:32:06It's our only hope
00:32:07to buy Papa's medicine.
00:32:14But Mark
00:32:15comes right up
00:32:16and kicks
00:32:17our basket over.
00:32:19Mark yells
00:32:20like crazy
00:32:20in the market
00:32:21framing us
00:32:22for selling
00:32:22deadly poisonous
00:32:23mushrooms.
00:32:24Right in front
00:32:25of everyone
00:32:26he crushes
00:32:27the white mushrooms
00:32:27we worked
00:32:28so hard to find
00:32:29just like
00:32:30stepping on trash.
00:32:31Mark grabs
00:32:32the gray stones
00:32:32I found
00:32:33calling us
00:32:34money hungry
00:32:35scammers
00:32:35with a loud
00:32:36bang
00:32:37he smashes
00:32:38the rocks
00:32:38onto the ground.
00:32:40The sound
00:32:40of them breaking
00:32:41is the sound
00:32:42of my heart
00:32:42breaking.
00:32:43The crowd
00:32:44believes Mark.
00:32:45They point at us
00:32:46calling us
00:32:47shameless.
00:32:48Their insults
00:32:49almost drown
00:32:50Mom and me.
00:32:50We're not
00:32:52scamming anyone.
00:32:54These really
00:32:55aren't
00:32:55poisonous mushrooms.
00:32:57That's not true.
00:32:58We're not lying.
00:33:02Mark doesn't care
00:33:03about poisonous
00:33:04mushrooms at all.
00:33:06He just wants
00:33:06the $5,000
00:33:08Papa left us.
00:33:09He threatens
00:33:10Mom like a snake
00:33:11saying if we
00:33:12don't pay
00:33:13protection money
00:33:14he'll make us
00:33:15disappear from
00:33:16Oak Haven
00:33:16for good.
00:33:17To protect
00:33:18my life
00:33:18saving money
00:33:19Mom firmly
00:33:20rejects this
00:33:21hungry wolf.
00:33:22But it brings
00:33:23devastating revenge.
00:33:25Mark goes
00:33:26crazy.
00:33:27He flips our
00:33:28stall and
00:33:28crushes the
00:33:29white mushrooms
00:33:30that could save
00:33:31Papa Arthur
00:33:31into mud.
00:33:32I scream and
00:33:34pray for God
00:33:35to punish
00:33:35these bad
00:33:36people.
00:33:36But all I get
00:33:37is Aunt Grace's
00:33:38piercing cacker.
00:33:39You bad
00:33:40people.
00:33:41God is watching.
00:33:42He will
00:33:43definitely punish
00:33:44you.
00:33:45She points
00:33:46at my nose
00:33:46calling me
00:33:47a naive
00:33:48little idiot
00:33:49saying even
00:33:51Jesus couldn't
00:33:52save us now.
00:33:52Stop.
00:33:57I follow
00:33:58everyone's gaze
00:33:59and see two
00:34:00men walking
00:34:01in from the
00:34:01crowd.
00:34:02They dress
00:34:03completely
00:34:03differently
00:34:04from the
00:34:04townsfolk
00:34:05and they look
00:34:05incredibly
00:34:06distinguished.
00:34:14What the
00:34:15hell are you
00:34:16blind idiots
00:34:16doing?
00:34:19The old man
00:34:21with glasses
00:34:21kneels in the
00:34:22mud holding
00:34:22the crushed
00:34:23pieces.
00:34:24His hands
00:34:24are shaking
00:34:25worse than
00:34:25dead leaves
00:34:26in autumn.
00:34:27I can feel
00:34:27how angry
00:34:28and heartbroken
00:34:28he is.
00:34:29At the time
00:34:30I still
00:34:30didn't know
00:34:31just how
00:34:31precious
00:34:32those crushed
00:34:32white mushrooms
00:34:33were.
00:34:38You
00:34:38fool!
00:34:40These are
00:34:41top grades
00:34:41white struffles
00:34:42that even
00:34:42the royal
00:34:43family pays
00:34:44a fortune
00:34:44to find
00:34:45and you
00:34:46crush them?
00:34:47Mark's face
00:34:47instantly drained
00:34:48of color,
00:34:49too terrified
00:34:50to speak.
00:34:51Meanwhile,
00:34:52Mr. Sterling
00:34:53with his
00:34:53leopard cane
00:34:54slowly walks
00:34:55toward the
00:34:56gray stones
00:34:57Aunt Grace
00:34:58smashed.
00:34:58In that
00:34:59moment,
00:35:00I think the
00:35:00sun fell
00:35:01into the
00:35:01stone.
00:35:02Beneath
00:35:03the dull
00:35:03gray surface,
00:35:04a dreamy
00:35:05deep purple
00:35:06light shines
00:35:06out.
00:35:07Mr. Sterling
00:35:08says,
00:35:09it's an
00:35:09extremely rare
00:35:10natural
00:35:11amethyst
00:35:11geob.
00:35:12Mr. Sterling
00:35:13goes crazy.
00:35:14He pulls
00:35:14out a
00:35:15thick stack
00:35:15of hundred
00:35:16dollar bills
00:35:17enough to
00:35:17buy half
00:35:18the town
00:35:18and shoves
00:35:19it into
00:35:20mom's hands.
00:35:21He says
00:35:21he'd give
00:35:21his entire
00:35:22fortune
00:35:23to buy
00:35:23all the
00:35:24trash
00:35:24stones
00:35:24I found.
00:35:25Seeing
00:35:26things
00:35:26go bad,
00:35:30Mark
00:35:30and Aunt
00:35:31Grace
00:35:31try to
00:35:31sneak away
00:35:32into the
00:35:33crowd
00:35:33like
00:35:33cowards.
00:35:34But the
00:35:35two men
00:35:36in black
00:35:36suits
00:35:37grab them
00:35:37by the
00:35:38collars
00:35:38and throw
00:35:39them hard
00:35:39into a
00:35:40filthy
00:35:40stinking
00:35:41mud puddle.
00:35:46Mom's
00:35:47hands
00:35:47are shaking
00:35:48so much
00:35:49she can
00:35:49barely hold
00:35:50the heavy
00:35:50stack
00:35:51of cash.
00:35:52She can't
00:35:52believe the
00:35:53rotten
00:35:53mushrooms
00:35:54and broken
00:35:54stones
00:35:55I casually
00:35:56picked up
00:35:57in the
00:35:57blackwood
00:35:58forest
00:35:58are actually
00:35:59worth more
00:36:00than gold.
00:36:01Mr. Sterling
00:36:02takes off
00:36:02his expensive
00:36:03top hat.
00:36:04He says,
00:36:05I'm an angel
00:36:06blessed by
00:36:06God.
00:36:07the villagers
00:36:08who used
00:36:08to point
00:36:09and gloss
00:36:10up
00:36:10are all
00:36:11shocked
00:36:11silent
00:36:11by this
00:36:12massive
00:36:12fortune.
00:36:14You just
00:36:15found these
00:36:15lying around?
00:36:17Good Lord,
00:36:18this child
00:36:19is absolutely
00:36:20a reincarnated
00:36:21angel.
00:36:22Only someone
00:36:23blessed by
00:36:23God could
00:36:24have such
00:36:24unbelievable
00:36:25luck.
00:36:25Mr. Sterling,
00:36:26I think we
00:36:27have an
00:36:28obligation
00:36:28to help
00:36:29this child
00:36:29get the
00:36:30compensation
00:36:30she deserves
00:36:31and make
00:36:31these scumbags
00:36:32face their
00:36:33punishment.
00:36:34The well-dressed
00:36:35lawyer steps
00:36:36forward.
00:36:37He calculates
00:36:38our damages
00:36:38at $3,500.
00:36:41That's an
00:36:42astrosnomical
00:36:43price.
00:36:44Enough to
00:36:44buy the
00:36:45whole town
00:36:45of Oakhaven.
00:36:47Mark doesn't
00:36:48want to pay
00:36:49the compensation.
00:36:50He tries
00:36:51to run
00:36:51towards a
00:36:52speeding
00:36:52coal train
00:36:53to hop on
00:36:54and escape.
00:36:58The bodyguard
00:36:59quickly drags
00:36:59him back
00:37:00from the
00:37:00train
00:37:00and pins
00:37:01him in
00:37:01the mud.
00:37:02He can't
00:37:02run anymore.
00:37:03The sheriff
00:37:04arrives and
00:37:04tells Aunt
00:37:05Grace that
00:37:05if she
00:37:05doesn't get
00:37:06the money
00:37:06together in
00:37:0748 hours,
00:37:08she'll not
00:37:08only hand
00:37:09over Papa's
00:37:09farm that
00:37:10she stole,
00:37:11but she'll
00:37:11also rot
00:37:12in jail
00:37:12for the
00:37:12rest of
00:37:13her life.
00:37:20Late at
00:37:20night in
00:37:20Oakhaven,
00:37:21the wind
00:37:21tears at
00:37:22the ground
00:37:22like a
00:37:22mad beast.
00:37:23The old
00:37:24roof shakes,
00:37:25the drafty
00:37:25windows creak,
00:37:26but in the
00:37:26flickering light
00:37:26of the
00:37:27kerosene
00:37:27lamp,
00:37:27Aunt Grace
00:37:28is scarier
00:37:28than the
00:37:29storm.
00:37:29I found
00:37:29a picture
00:37:30today,
00:37:30a man
00:37:31in a
00:37:31uniform.
00:37:31I asked
00:37:32who he
00:37:32was.
00:37:32She said
00:37:33it was
00:37:33nothing,
00:37:34just someone
00:37:34who used
00:37:34to live
00:37:35with.
00:37:35The old
00:37:35roof shakes,
00:37:37the drafty
00:37:38windows
00:37:38crank,
00:37:39the $3,500
00:37:41collection notice
00:37:43chokes her
00:37:44like a noose.
00:37:45Instead of
00:37:45repenting,
00:37:46Aunt Grace
00:37:47just stares at
00:37:48the document
00:37:48with the red
00:37:49thumbprint,
00:37:50plotting to
00:37:50steal the
00:37:51blood-soaked
00:37:51duching money
00:37:52under Grandma
00:37:53Ada's bed.
00:37:55Lightning
00:37:55flashes,
00:37:56lighting up
00:37:57Aunt Grace's
00:37:58soaked face.
00:37:59she raises
00:38:00cold
00:38:00plizers,
00:38:02snips the
00:38:03wire fence,
00:38:04and sneaks
00:38:04onto our
00:38:05farm.
00:38:21It rains so hard
00:38:23that night.
00:38:24the noise
00:38:25keeps me awake.
00:38:27I get up for a
00:38:28drink of water,
00:38:29having no idea
00:38:30danger is so
00:38:31close.
00:38:40the wind is so
00:38:42strong outside.
00:38:44I'm afraid the
00:38:45rain will ruin
00:38:46the wood floor,
00:38:47so I drag a
00:38:47big iron bucket
00:38:48over and force
00:38:49the window shut
00:38:50tight.
00:38:51I think closing
00:38:52the window will
00:38:53keep the storm
00:38:54out, but I
00:38:55don't notice the
00:38:56old frame is
00:38:57rotten.
00:38:58The second I
00:38:59turn around,
00:39:00Aunt Grace
00:39:01pries it open.
00:39:10I don't know
00:39:11the window is
00:39:12broken and
00:39:13might fall
00:39:13if opened
00:39:14one.
00:39:15Aunt Grace
00:39:16risks her
00:39:17life for that
00:39:17money.
00:39:18She squeezes
00:39:19inside,
00:39:20scraping the
00:39:21skin right
00:39:22off her
00:39:22waist.
00:39:25The metal
00:39:26clangs loudly
00:39:27in the dead
00:39:27of night.
00:39:28Aunt Grace
00:39:30flails like a
00:39:30funny puppet,
00:39:31desperately
00:39:32trying to grab
00:39:33something to
00:39:34steady herself.
00:39:35Please don't
00:39:35fall.
00:39:36But she grabs
00:39:36a wobbly
00:39:37shell.
00:39:43It burns!
00:39:44It burns!
00:39:45My eyes!
00:39:46Help!
00:39:46It burns!
00:39:47Grandma Ada
00:39:47taught me that
00:39:48quick live boils
00:39:49like a kettle
00:39:50when it hits
00:39:50water.
00:39:52Aunt Grace
00:39:52screams so
00:39:53miserably,
00:39:56but she
00:39:57wouldn't be
00:39:58hurt if she
00:39:58didn't sneak
00:39:59in through the
00:39:59window at
00:40:00midnight.
00:40:04Aunt Grace
00:40:05screams,
00:40:06smashes through
00:40:07the back door
00:40:08and plunges
00:40:09into the
00:40:09terrestrial rain.
00:40:10The quick line
00:40:11boils on her
00:40:12face.
00:40:13The burning
00:40:14blinds her,
00:40:15making her stumble
00:40:16through the mud.
00:40:19Even the farm dog
00:40:21avoids that
00:40:21stinky pit.
00:40:23Aunt Grace
00:40:24used to call me
00:40:25a smelly beggar,
00:40:26but now,
00:40:27even the skunk
00:40:28living in the pit
00:40:29is disgusted by her.
00:40:31Aunt Grace
00:40:32crawls out of the
00:40:33cesspool,
00:40:34her mind still
00:40:35obsessed with the
00:40:36money.
00:40:37When she finds
00:40:38the heavy,
00:40:39locked metal box
00:40:40in the junk
00:40:40pile,
00:40:41her burned eyes
00:40:42gleam scarier
00:40:43than the demons.
00:40:44A locked
00:40:45box!
00:40:46The money
00:40:47must be inside!
00:40:57The smell
00:40:58of gunpowder
00:40:59overpowers the rain,
00:41:01and Grandma
00:41:02Ada's furious
00:41:02shout tears
00:41:04through the night.
00:41:05Aunt Grace
00:41:05actually hits
00:41:06the gas
00:41:07through a
00:41:07hail of bullets.
00:41:08In the pouring
00:41:10rain,
00:41:11Aunt Grace
00:41:12laughs like
00:41:12a dying maniac
00:41:14in a speeding
00:41:14truck.
00:41:20This 5000's
00:41:21is all mine!
00:41:22She hugs
00:41:22the metal box
00:41:23to her chest,
00:41:24thinking she holds
00:41:26all the wealth
00:41:26in the world
00:41:27and has finally
00:41:28beaten everyone.
00:41:32Grandma Ada
00:41:33holds her shotgun,
00:41:34anxious to chase
00:41:35her.
00:41:36I stand
00:41:37barefoot
00:41:37in the mud,
00:41:38and gently tug
00:41:39her wet shirt
00:41:40to remind her.
00:41:41Uncle Thomas
00:41:41told me before
00:41:42that whenever
00:41:43it storms,
00:41:44the wooden bridge
00:41:45over there
00:41:45floods completely.
00:41:50La la la,
00:41:52la la la la.
00:41:55The truck
00:41:56in the storm
00:41:56is like a wild
00:41:57beast out of control.
00:41:59I.E. Grace
00:41:59screams madly
00:42:00in the cab.
00:42:01When she sees
00:42:02the river
00:42:02completely swallowing
00:42:03the bridge,
00:42:04she falls
00:42:05into total despair.
00:42:11The crash
00:42:12shatters the rain.
00:42:14Aunt Grace
00:42:15doesn't die,
00:42:16but she lands
00:42:17somewhere worse
00:42:17than hell,
00:42:19Major Evans'
00:42:20military-restricted zone.
00:42:23Money.
00:42:25My money.
00:42:26A dozen
00:42:27black Thompson
00:42:28submachine guns
00:42:29aim right
00:42:30at her head.
00:42:32Major steps
00:42:33forward
00:42:33in his raincoat
00:42:34with a cold face.
00:42:36I told you
00:42:36not to flee.
00:42:37Where do you think
00:42:38you're driving,
00:42:39Miss Grace?
00:42:46It's over.
00:42:48It's all over.
00:42:52The stench
00:42:53from the truck
00:42:54is more nauseating
00:42:55than a rotting corpse
00:42:56in the black forest.
00:42:58It's the smell
00:42:59of cesspooled water
00:43:00mixed with
00:43:00Aunt Grace's bleed.
00:43:03Even as the MPs
00:43:04drag her into the mud,
00:43:05she clings
00:43:06to the heavy metal box.
00:43:08While Aunt Grace
00:43:09dreams of being rich,
00:43:10Grandma Ada arrives
00:43:11with me
00:43:12on her roaring tractor.
00:43:14Grandma looks
00:43:15at Aunt Grace
00:43:15in the mud
00:43:16and laughs
00:43:16with sheer contempt.
00:43:17because the real
00:43:19pension money
00:43:20rests safely
00:43:21under the Hanson
00:43:22family's bed.
00:43:27Grandma Ada
00:43:28tells Major Evans
00:43:29the truth
00:43:30and he pries
00:43:31open the heavy
00:43:32padlock
00:43:32with the daggers.
00:43:34With a loud
00:43:35clang,
00:43:36Aunt Grace's dream
00:43:37shatters completely.
00:43:47I'm stealing private property.
00:43:50Go join your husband in prison.
00:43:52Take her away.
00:44:04My once arrogant aunt and uncle.
00:44:08Now look like two cornered rabbits facing their final judgment.
00:44:14Grandma doesn't carry her scary shotgun today.
00:44:17She puts me in a new lace dress and holds my hand,
00:44:22stepping into the light like a guardian angel.
00:44:25This is all on you!
00:44:26Uncle Thomas' mental defenses completely break down,
00:44:29and 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
00:44:51are finally back in my hands.
00:44:54Now.
00:45:00The judge usually looks so mean,
00:45:03and 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,
00:45:19disgusted 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.
00:45:39The 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.
00:45:51But I don't care.
00:45:54All I know is that Grandma's hand holding mine is big and warm,
00:45:58and no one will ever force me into 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,
00:46:11it can grow so much wheat that looks like pure gold.
00:46:17Grandma laughed so loudly today.
00:46:23Good girl, look.
00:46:24These are all gifts from God.
00:46:27That 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,
00:46:42as if she wants to rush over and eat me alive.
00:46:52If that damn old hack won't give it to us,
00:46:55we'll just take it ourselves.
00:46:56Take 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
00:47:24and knocks on the back door of power,
00:47:27just like a sewer rat.
00:47:33I only learn later
00:47:35that there's a scary magic in the adult world.
00:47:39If you secretly give the mayor a special gift,
00:47:42your wishes come true.
00:47:47James uses tobacco and money to trade
00:47:50for the Fertilile farm under my name.
00:48:04James,
00:48:06your appetite
00:48:07is way bigger
00:48:09than your dying brother's.
00:48:23power completely surrenders to money.
00:48:28The mayor accepts James' gift.
00:48:40James' gift
00:48:49Take it, James.
00:48:51With this requisition order,
00:48:52that Fertile land is yours by sunrise tomorrow.
00:49:12This morning,
00:49:13a lot of people suddenly come to our farm.
00:49:18It's James,
00:49:19Miss Ella,
00:49:20and the mayor.
00:49:21They look really mean.
00:49:23They use big adult words
00:49:25I don't understand.
00:49:27I just see Grandma Ada
00:49:28shaking with anger
00:49:29because they want to trade
00:49:31a barren wasteland
00:49:32for our golden wheat field.
00:49:37Trade?
00:49:38James,
00:49:38do you think I'm an idiot?
00:49:40Not even weeds
00:49:41can grow on that land.
00:49:43Don't waste your breath on her.
00:49:44Quick,
00:49:45pull up the boundary markers
00:49:46and put ours in.
00:49:47This is our land now.
00:49:48Grandma nailed that marker herself.
00:49:50When it falls,
00:49:51my heart hurts so much.
00:49:54You robbers!
00:49:55I'll fight you to the death!
00:49:58Those two guns
00:49:59are so, so close
00:50:01to Grandma's head.
00:50:02For the first time,
00:50:03I realize a hunting rifle
00:50:04isn't scary at all.
00:50:05Mrs. Hanson,
00:50:06calm down,
00:50:07or we'll arrest you
00:50:08for obstructing justice.
00:50:10No!
00:50:11Don't kill my Grandma!
00:50:12No!
00:50:13What's really scary
00:50:14is when others
00:50:15point guns at us.
00:50:23Just sign it,
00:50:24Mrs. Hanson.
00:50:25You don't want this little girl
00:50:26watching you get taken away,
00:50:28do you?
00:50:28Grandma Ada
00:50:29looks at me
00:50:30crying in fear.
00:50:32She closes her eyes
00:50:33and agrees to sign
00:50:35the contract.
00:50:38I grip Grandma's clothes
00:50:40tight.
00:50:41I'm worried
00:50:41she's in danger.
00:50:43I see her eyes
00:50:44turn red
00:50:44and my heart aches,
00:50:46but I don't know
00:50:47what to do.
00:50:56You old hag!
00:50:58Take this unlucky
00:50:59little stray
00:50:59and get all my property
00:51:01right now!
00:51:02Go eat dirt
00:51:03in that rocky wasteland!
00:51:09We move to the place
00:51:11they call the Rocky Land.
00:51:13There's nothing here
00:51:14but bare rocks
00:51:15and cold wind.
00:51:19Grandma Ada
00:51:20is frowning so hard.
00:51:28This year's harvest
00:51:30is totally ruined,
00:51:32sweetie.
00:51:33We might starve.
00:51:34I see how sad Grandma is
00:51:36and my heart feels
00:51:38like it's crushed
00:51:39by a rock,
00:51:39but I don't want
00:51:41to make her sadder.
00:51:42I remember Grandma Ada
00:51:43said,
00:51:44as long as there is hope,
00:51:46there's nothing to fear.
00:51:47Don't worry, Grandma.
00:51:48I can grow pretty flowers
00:51:49even in the rocks.
00:51:51I just want to do something.
00:51:53Even if it's just
00:51:54digging a little hole,
00:51:55I believe my luck
00:51:57will definitely help us.
00:51:59Right then,
00:52:00something weird happens.
00:52:02The ground starts
00:52:03shaking violently.
00:52:05I feel the rocks
00:52:06under my feet
00:52:07jumping like they're alive.
00:52:08Danger!
00:52:09Leonis,
00:52:10get out of the way!
00:52:16The ground shakes
00:52:17like a thousand
00:52:18wild horses
00:52:19running under my feet.
00:52:21My feet go numb.
00:52:23I shut my eyes tight
00:52:24thinking I really messed up
00:52:26and dug up
00:52:26a sleeping demon
00:52:27with my rusty little shovel.
00:52:29I've never seen
00:52:31such a scary
00:52:32and awesome sight.
00:52:33The black liquid
00:52:34shoots up so high
00:52:36and rains down,
00:52:37splashing all over
00:52:38me and Grandma.
00:52:39This weird rain
00:52:40is black and stinky.
00:52:42It sticks to my face
00:52:44and ruins
00:52:45my only clean dress.
00:52:46I look at Grandma
00:52:48nervously,
00:52:48terrified she's gonna
00:52:50blow up over
00:52:51this awful prank.
00:52:52But I notice
00:52:53Grandma Ada
00:52:54isn't mad at all.
00:52:55Her weathered face
00:52:56instantly twists
00:52:57into this extreme,
00:52:59almost crazy joy.
00:53:01This isn't muddy water!
00:53:02It's crude oil!
00:53:03It's oil!
00:53:04Thank God
00:53:05we struck oil!
00:53:06I don't know
00:53:08what oil is,
00:53:09but I can taste
00:53:10Grandma's happy tears.
00:53:12In this black rain,
00:53:14we hug each other
00:53:15so tight.
00:53:18Not long after
00:53:20that black rain,
00:53:21a bunch of
00:53:22big shoops
00:53:23come to town.
00:53:24They head straight
00:53:25for this rocky wasteland
00:53:27that even the devil
00:53:28wouldn't look
00:53:29twice at.
00:53:42congratulations,
00:53:43Mrs. Hanson.
00:53:44Your granddaughter
00:53:45is a true
00:53:46lucky angel.
00:53:48A bunch of guys
00:53:48in expensive suits
00:53:49step out of the cars.
00:53:51They use weird gadgets
00:53:53to dig and measure
00:53:54all over the place.
00:53:58Mr. Sterling,
00:53:59initial surveys show
00:54:01the most massive
00:54:02shallow oil field
00:54:04in the entire state
00:54:05is hidden
00:54:06right under here.
00:54:07The value
00:54:08is immeasurable.
00:54:09I don't understand
00:54:10what they're saying,
00:54:11but I see
00:54:12Mr. Sterling
00:54:13pull out
00:54:13a really big
00:54:14piece of paper
00:54:15with lots
00:54:16and lots
00:54:17of zeros
00:54:18on it.
00:54:18Starting today,
00:54:19an oil company
00:54:20named after you
00:54:21is officially founded.
00:54:22Congratulations,
00:54:22my little
00:54:23black gold
00:54:24Tycara.
00:54:24In that moment,
00:54:26I feel like
00:54:26I'm dreaming.
00:54:27Mr. Sterling
00:54:28calls me
00:54:29a black gold Tycone.
00:54:30I don't really
00:54:31get what that means,
00:54:32but he tells me
00:54:33we'll never
00:54:33go hungry again.
00:54:37Mr. Sterling
00:54:38tells me
00:54:39God rewards
00:54:40the good
00:54:40but also punishes
00:54:42the bad guys
00:54:42who bully us
00:54:44without mercy.
00:54:45Once I use
00:54:45this money
00:54:46to buy off
00:54:46the state senator,
00:54:48I'll get out
00:54:49of this hellhole
00:54:50and be a real
00:54:51big shot
00:54:51in Washington.
00:54:52And he sends
00:54:53the toughest lawyers
00:54:54and cops
00:54:56to find that
00:54:56evil mayor.
00:54:57Those gentlemen
00:54:58in black suits
00:54:59burst right
00:54:59into that room
00:55:00full of lies.
00:55:02Mr. Mayor,
00:55:03this is all
00:55:03the evidence
00:55:03of your corruption,
00:55:04bribery,
00:55:05and abuse of power.
00:55:06You're under arrest.
00:55:07Just like superheroes
00:55:09dropping from the sky
00:55:10in movies.
00:55:11Seeing the bad guy
00:55:12get punished
00:55:13makes me feel
00:55:14so 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
00:55:20justice in this world.
00:55:25Aunt Ella
00:55:26and Uncle James
00:55:27stand on the
00:55:27fertile farm
00:55:28they stole.
00:55:29They look at
00:55:29the rocky land
00:55:30they tossed away
00:55:31like trash,
00:55:32now swarming
00:55:33with rich people,
00:55:34and they are going
00:55:35absolutely crazy
00:55:36with jealousy.
00:55:37Damn it!
00:55:38That land was ours!
00:55:41We threw it away!
00:55:43At least we still
00:55:44have the best wheat field
00:55:45in town.
00:55:45We'll strike it rich
00:55:46in the fall anyway.
00:55:48That little bit of oil
00:55:49they have will probably
00:55:50dry up real soon.
00:55:51Miss Ella
00:55:51is still dreaming
00:55:53of getting rich.
00:55:54But she doesn't know
00:55:55that God's judgment
00:55:57never spares
00:55:58a greedy soul.
00:55:59I see a huge
00:56:00dark cloud flying in.
00:56:04As it gets closer,
00:56:06I realize
00:56:07it's not a cloud at all.
00:56:09It's millions
00:56:10of gross bugs.
00:56:25James' screams
00:56:26echo across
00:56:27the empty farm.
00:56:29That golden wheat field
00:56:30is just completely
00:56:32eaten up
00:56:32by the bugs.
00:56:35The bugs
00:56:37eat all the crops.
00:56:38Miss Ellie
00:56:39kneels in the messy mud
00:56:40without a shred
00:56:41of dignity
00:56:42like a soulless corpse.
00:56:44Miss Ella
00:56:44cries so hard.
00:56:46She probably
00:56:47doesn't get
00:56:47why God's bugs
00:56:48only ate the fertile
00:56:49wheat field
00:56:50they stole from us.
00:56:51It's gone!
00:56:53It's all gone!
00:56:55We're bankrupt!
00:56:56Ah!
00:56:59Ah!
00:57:01A lot of big machines
00:57:03I've never seen before
00:57:04arrive on this rocky land.
00:57:07Mr. Sterling says
00:57:08they'll make us
00:57:09so much money
00:57:10I won't be able
00:57:11to spend it all
00:57:12in a lifetime.
00:57:20So many people
00:57:21are here today
00:57:22and they're all cheering.
00:57:24I'm so happy
00:57:25because Grandma Ida
00:57:27and I have
00:57:27new clothes on.
00:57:29She takes my hand
00:57:30and we cut
00:57:31the red ribbon.
00:57:34Grandma said
00:57:35flowers planted
00:57:35in rocks
00:57:36bloom brighter
00:57:37than any other.
00:57:39Now,
00:57:40our harsh winter
00:57:41is finally over completely.
00:57:48On this land,
00:57:50we live a peaceful
00:57:51and wealthy life.
00:57:55But I don't know
00:57:56that while we smile
00:57:57in the sun,
00:57:58a venomous snake
00:58:00in the dark
00:58:00is already eyeing us.
00:58:03The news of the oil field
00:58:05attracts someone
00:58:06even greedier
00:58:07than a wild wolf.
00:58:09Forced my downs
00:58:10are too low class.
00:58:11All I need
00:58:12is to snatch
00:58:13Leone's custody
00:58:14and this oil field
00:58:16is mine.
00:58:17For money
00:58:19and revenge,
00:58:20they sell
00:58:21Grandma Ida
00:58:22and me out.
00:58:26Ida is vulgar
00:58:28and mentally unstable.
00:58:30She carries
00:58:31a hunting rifle
00:58:32everywhere,
00:58:33has violent tendencies
00:58:35and constantly
00:58:36abuses Leone.
00:58:38Excellent!
00:58:40She's unfit
00:58:41to raise Leone.
00:58:42I'll be taking
00:58:42over her custody.
00:58:45McClain files
00:58:46a petition
00:58:46to change
00:58:48guardianship
00:58:48at the court,
00:58:50shattering
00:58:50my peaceful life
00:58:52with Grandma Ida.
00:58:55It's a rare,
00:58:56sweet moment,
00:58:57but the screech
00:58:58of brakes
00:58:59shatters the peace.
00:59:00Two bailiffs
00:59:02step out of the car
00:59:03and walk straight up
00:59:04to Grandma Ida.
00:59:05Hello, Mrs. Hanson.
00:59:06We're from the city court.
00:59:08Someone reported you
00:59:08for child abuse
00:59:09and is demanding
00:59:10you hand over
00:59:10Leone's custody.
00:59:11Grandma Ida
00:59:12is stunned.
00:59:13Once she snaps
00:59:14out of it,
00:59:15she loudly protests
00:59:17and swears
00:59:17she never abused
00:59:18any child.
00:59:20I swear on my life,
00:59:22Grandma Ida
00:59:22is the best person
00:59:24in the world.
00:59:25She has never abused me.
00:59:27Sorry,
00:59:28we're just here
00:59:28to notify you.
00:59:29Direct any questions
00:59:30to the hearing
00:59:31next Wednesday.
00:59:32Until then,
00:59:32you are forbidden
00:59:33from transferring
00:59:33any assets
00:59:34under the girl's name.
00:59:35But my promise
00:59:37is useless
00:59:37because everything
00:59:39will be decided
00:59:39in court.
00:59:41The hearing proceeds
00:59:43as scheduled.
00:59:44For Grandma Ida
00:59:45and me,
00:59:45this isn't a fair trial
00:59:46at all.
00:59:47It's a brutal,
00:59:48one-sided execution.
00:59:49McClain hired
00:59:50top-turt lawyer Barry
00:59:51with serious cash
00:59:53while we could only
00:59:54find Mr. Sterling.
00:59:55Mrs. Hanson,
00:59:56do you have any idea
00:59:57how to raise
00:59:58a multi-million dollar girl?
01:00:01Or is your only skill
01:00:02abusing people
01:00:03and feeding pigs?
01:00:04You!
01:00:05Lawyer Barry,
01:00:06you should know
01:00:06that you need to present
01:00:07evidence for your claims.
01:00:09Of course.
01:00:09Don't you worry
01:00:10about that.
01:00:11Lawyer Barry
01:00:12uses fancy legal talk
01:00:14to paint Grandma Ida
01:00:15as a violent,
01:00:16ignorant village woman.
01:00:18What's worse,
01:00:20the devil's accomplices
01:00:21take the stand.
01:00:23Your Honor,
01:00:23I saw with my own eyes
01:00:25how Ida forced
01:00:27Leonid to sleep
01:00:28in the barn
01:00:28and eat scraps.
01:00:30You two animals,
01:00:32shut up!
01:00:33Ella,
01:00:33you're crossing
01:00:34the line.
01:00:35James,
01:00:35is this how you
01:00:36treat your own mother?
01:00:37They take every single
01:00:39horrific thing
01:00:40they did to me
01:00:41and pin it all
01:00:42on Grandma Ida
01:00:43who loves me.
01:00:44Order!
01:00:46If you dare
01:00:47to show contempt
01:00:48of court again,
01:00:49I'll have the bailiffs
01:00:50throw you all
01:00:50in jail instantly!
01:00:52The judge has already
01:00:53been bought off
01:00:54by McClain.
01:00:55He doesn't listen
01:00:55to a word we say.
01:00:57The court leans
01:00:58towards revoking
01:00:59Ida's guardianship,
01:01:01transferring it
01:01:02to McClain's foundation
01:01:03and sending
01:01:04Leonide to a
01:01:05closed boarding
01:01:06school on the
01:01:07east coast.
01:01:08A closed school
01:01:10means I'll be
01:01:11totally at McClain's
01:01:12mercy and our
01:01:14oil wealth
01:01:14will be completely
01:01:15swallowed up.
01:01:16I won't go to school!
01:01:17I don't want to leave
01:01:19Grandma Ida!
01:01:23Everyone holds
01:01:25their breath.
01:01:26The judge is about
01:01:27to strip Grandma Ida
01:01:28of my custody.
01:01:30Whatever is on that
01:01:30paper decides my fate.
01:01:33The bad guy's wicked
01:01:34laughs drill into my
01:01:36ears.
01:01:37Their dirty revenge
01:01:39is about to succeed.
01:01:41Grandma Ida hugs me
01:01:43tight, completely
01:01:44desperate.
01:01:45I glare at those
01:01:46monsters through my
01:01:47tears.
01:01:48I absolutely can't let
01:01:50them take everything
01:01:50from me.
01:01:54I see the massive
01:01:55chandelier crash down,
01:01:57smashing the briefcase
01:01:59next to the judge.
01:02:02Countless papers fly
01:02:03everywhere.
01:02:05Mr. Sterling grabs
01:02:06some key documents.
01:02:07He announces to the
01:02:09courtroom that it's
01:02:10evidence of the judge
01:02:11taking bribes from
01:02:12Ms. McLean.
01:02:13The proof is solid.
01:02:15All their dirty deals
01:02:17are exposed.
01:02:18Despicable!
01:02:19They ganged up to
01:02:19take Leonie away.
01:02:21But now it's all out
01:02:21in the open.
01:02:22Their plot fails.
01:02:23We're done for.
01:02:24Mr. Sterling calls
01:02:26the police.
01:02:27McLean's plot is
01:02:29completely ruined.
01:02:30And Miss Ella and
01:02:31the others will get
01:02:32what they deserve.
01:02:34McLean, your dirty
01:02:37money can buy a judge.
01:02:38But it can't buy
01:02:40real justice.
01:02:44The bribe judge
01:02:46is taken away
01:02:47by the police.
01:02:48I finally return
01:02:49to Grandma Ada
01:02:50and the greedy
01:02:51James and Ella
01:02:52become abandoned
01:02:53pawns.
01:03:07Damn you, Ada.
01:03:09This isn't over.
01:03:11McLean doesn't just
01:03:12let it go.
01:03:13He finds the local
01:03:14mafia, ready to use
01:03:16violence.
01:03:23Just when we think
01:03:24everything is peaceful
01:03:25again, McClellan's
01:03:27revenge hits fast, way
01:03:30beyond what any of us
01:03:31expected.
01:03:32I'll go check it out.
01:03:34I walk out with
01:03:36Grandma Ada and the others.
01:03:38We see several cars
01:03:39without license cards
01:03:40smash through the farm
01:03:42gate like mad bulls,
01:03:43completely blocking
01:03:45our escape.
01:03:51They claim
01:03:52McLean sent them.
01:03:53They threaten
01:03:54Grandma Ada
01:03:54to sell the oil field
01:03:55to them dirt cheap,
01:03:56but she refuses
01:03:57to give in.
01:03:58They only give us
01:03:5910 minutes.
01:04:00After 10 minutes,
01:04:02they'll make their move.
01:04:18Grandma Ada chooses
01:04:20to let Mom Martha
01:04:21hide me in the cellar
01:04:23while she faces
01:04:24the mafia head-on.
01:04:47Give me 10 minutes
01:04:48to think about it.
01:04:55Grandma pretends
01:04:57to give in
01:04:57just to keep me safe.
01:05:07Grandma Ada
01:05:08has already decided
01:05:11to fight the mafia
01:05:12to the end
01:05:13and Dad Arthur
01:05:15asks Sheriff Harry
01:05:16for backup.
01:05:24The mobsters
01:05:25get ready to strike.
01:05:28But Grandma Ada
01:05:32is faster.
01:05:35Damn it!
01:05:36They have guns!
01:05:38You scumbags
01:05:39want to steal
01:05:40my granddaughter's land?
01:05:42Get off my property
01:05:43right now
01:05:44or I'll send you
01:05:45to hell!
01:05:51To protect me
01:05:53and our home,
01:05:54Grandma Odd
01:05:55and Dad Arthur
01:05:56get into a shootout
01:05:57with the mob.
01:06:02But nobody knows
01:06:04that two greedy coyotes
01:06:06are sneaking
01:06:07into our
01:06:08defenseless backyard.
01:06:23that bitch
01:06:24Martha
01:06:24took the little
01:06:25bastard in there.
01:06:26This is our best chance.
01:06:28Whether the mob
01:06:29or mother wins,
01:06:30we're dead either way.
01:06:32Catching Lionel
01:06:33is our only leverage.
01:06:42The constant gunshots
01:06:44outside
01:06:44make me super anxious.
01:06:46Just then,
01:06:47the cellar door
01:06:48suddenly opens.
01:06:49Is it Grandma
01:06:50Ada
01:06:50and the others
01:06:51coming back?
01:06:52Grandma Ada?
01:06:58It's you!
01:06:59Get out of here
01:07:00right now!
01:07:01My dear sister Martha,
01:07:03that old hag Ada
01:07:04is busy fighting the mob.
01:07:06Let's see who comes
01:07:07to save you this time.
01:07:08They'll want to kidnap me,
01:07:10but Mom Martha
01:07:11stands in front of me
01:07:12to protect me.
01:07:17Oh!
01:07:18Stop fighting,
01:07:20you little brat!
01:07:20You're our cash cow!
01:07:22Ella grabs me,
01:07:23clamping a towel
01:07:24soaked in pungent chemicals
01:07:25tightly over my nose
01:07:27and mouth.
01:07:28Intense busyness
01:07:29instantly pierces my brain.
01:07:30Hurry up!
01:07:31Get her in the sack!
01:07:32We don't have much time!
01:07:33Grandma Ada
01:07:34and the others
01:07:35hide in the cellar
01:07:36to dodge the mob,
01:07:38but...
01:07:41Martha, wake up!
01:07:46Mother Arthur,
01:07:48James and Ella
01:07:50took Leonese.
01:07:53I wake up to find my hands
01:07:54tied to a rotting wooden post.
01:07:56Ella and James
01:07:57are like wolves
01:07:58ready to devour me.
01:07:59Once we get the money,
01:08:01we'll throw you down
01:08:02an abandoned mine shaft
01:08:03to feed the rats!
01:08:04Let's go.
01:08:05We should check
01:08:06the situation outside.
01:08:08They leave,
01:08:09and I'm all alone
01:08:10in the abandoned mine.
01:08:11I'm so scared,
01:08:13but I can't just do nothing.
01:08:14They'll use me
01:08:15to threaten Grandma Ada.
01:08:16I can't let them
01:08:17get away with it.
01:08:18Thank God.
01:08:19The lalt rope
01:08:20falls off on its own.
01:08:22Is that firefly
01:08:24leading the way for me?
01:08:35The little bitch escaped!
01:08:37Miss Ella quickly
01:08:38notices I'm gone.
01:08:40She and James
01:08:41are searching for me.
01:08:44The harsh light
01:08:46flashes right past my feet.
01:08:48I'm gonna be found.
01:08:50What do I do?
01:08:51Save me, Grandma Ada.
01:08:53Dad!
01:08:56Grandma Ada
01:08:57and the others
01:08:58are trapped.
01:08:59The mob
01:09:00is searching for us.
01:09:02Grandma Ada
01:09:03and Dad Arthur
01:09:04wait for Sheriff Harry,
01:09:06but he doesn't show up
01:09:07because the mob
01:09:08has him pinned down too.
01:09:10It's all my fault.
01:09:13I didn't protect Leon 8.
01:09:16Mom lost me,
01:09:18and she feels
01:09:19incredibly guilty.
01:09:24Let's take them down with us.
01:09:30The mob finds Mom Martha
01:09:32and the others.
01:09:42You're out of bullets, right?
01:09:46Say your prayers.
01:09:48But right then,
01:09:49a deafening roar
01:09:51interrupts 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?
01:10:19Leo!
01:10:21Leo needs real father!
01:10:27That tall man,
01:10:29like a god of war,
01:10:30my father Leo,
01:10:32rushes to Grandma
01:10:33anxiously,
01:10:34asking where I am.
01:10:37Grandma Ada
01:10:37blasts the venomous
01:10:39McLean's plant
01:10:39and Ella's
01:10:41shameless kidnapping.
01:10:42Luckily,
01:10:44Sheriff Harry arrives
01:10:45at the scene
01:10:45and quickly
01:10:46takes down
01:10:47the rest of the mobsters.
01:10:51Mrs. Hanson,
01:10:52please forgive me
01:10:53for being late.
01:10:54That mob
01:10:54sent people to block us.
01:10:56Seeing my father alive,
01:10:57Sheriff Harry
01:10:58is so shocked
01:10:59he can barely
01:11:00hold his gun.
01:11:01My father explains
01:11:02he faked his death
01:11:03to carry out
01:11:04a top-secret mission.
01:11:05By the way,
01:11:06my men saw
01:11:07Ella and James
01:11:08heading toward
01:11:08the abandoned line
01:11:09out west.
01:11:10Thank you, Harry.
01:11:12Thank you, Harry.
01:11:18But right now,
01:11:19the blinding
01:11:20flashlight beam
01:11:21pins me down
01:11:22like a viper's tongue.
01:11:24Catch her!
01:11:25She can't get far!
01:11:26I can't let them
01:11:27catch me.
01:11:28That'll just cause
01:11:29more trouble
01:11:30for Grandma Ada.
01:11:31Save me, Dad.
01:11:41Leone!
01:11:44I run through
01:11:45the tunnel
01:11:46for my life,
01:11:47but those heavy
01:11:48footsteps
01:11:49follow me
01:11:50like a death sentence.
01:11:52James catches up
01:11:53to me quickly.
01:11:54He grabs my hair
01:11:55tight,
01:11:56slams me hard
01:11:57onto the cold,
01:11:58rocky ground,
01:11:59and talks with
01:12:00Miss Ella
01:12:00about breaking
01:12:01my legs.
01:12:02The huge rock
01:12:03is about to smash
01:12:04my legs.
01:12:04I can almost
01:12:05hear my bones breaking.
01:12:07Someone,
01:12:08please save me.
01:12:10Who?
01:12:10Who is it?
01:12:11Do you have
01:12:12any idea
01:12:12who you're
01:12:12messing with?
01:12:16No!
01:12:16Don't kill me!
01:12:17You can take
01:12:18the girl.
01:12:18She's worth
01:12:19an oil field.
01:12:19You'll be rich!
01:12:20I hear
01:12:21Ella's terrified
01:12:22voice in the dark.
01:12:23Did someone
01:12:24save me?
01:12:25No!
01:12:27No!
