Short filmTranscript
00:00:01I'm Leone, and I'm seven. The whole town of Oakhaven thinks I'm cursed. I haven't eaten all day. I just
00:00:11stared at the black bread in my aunt's hand.
00:00:21And she whipped me bloody with a thorny vine.
00:00:26What are you looking at? I gave you a soup last, and you still steal food!
00:00:30You! Good for nothing leech!
00:00:34Aunt Grace slammed the heavy farm tool right onto me.
00:00:38Stop playing dead! If you don't finish before sunset, forget about dinner!
00:00:42My hands are covered in cuts, and the broken blisters sting interribly.
00:00:47But I have to work, or I'll be thrown out into the wild.
00:00:53Under the scorching sun, I starved and dragged myself to the field.
00:00:58Passing villagers just pointed and whispered.
00:01:00They said Aunt Grace kept all my dad's military pension from the war.
00:01:04But they only pitied me in secret. No one dared to help.
00:01:07Look at the poor thing. Grace is an absolute monster.
00:01:11She spreads rumors that Leonae is the cursed child who brought the dust storms.
00:01:15Good lord, it breaks my heart.
00:01:18Just then, Mrs. Hannon showed up.
00:01:21She's the meanest, greediest woman in town.
00:01:24Oh, look at this!
00:01:26She just snatched people's seeds.
00:01:27Dirt in Oakhaven is growing its own seeds!
00:01:29Since you don't want them, I'll take them.
00:01:31Ada!
00:01:32You wicked hag! Stealing our seeds?!
00:01:35Have 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.
00:01:44She scared them away.
00:01:45Mrs. Hanson looked like a wicked witch.
00:01:47Everyone 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.
00:01:54I'll move over there.
00:01:56But I couldn't run.
00:01:57I had to finish Aunt Grace's work.
00:02:02The sun felt like it was burning a hole in my head.
00:02:05I couldn't hold on anymore.
00:02:08Everything went black, and I crashed into the mud.
00:02:15Hey!
00:02:17You wretched girl!
00:02:29Cold water trickled down my cracked lips.
00:02:31I 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.
00:02:55You've never seen your face!
00:02:56Did you care about your belly if I was so fummer?
00:02:57You damn it!
00:03:01Look!
00:03:02There's a tofu, usually five grams, and the不同 feeling is so happy.
00:03:06You're not convinced or not to stop your belly.
00:03:09Is that so funny when you're editing my baby's family and well?
00:03:10Peroen ha river was Annoy.
00:03:10Mrs. Hanson, you dropped your bread.
00:03:13It fell on the ground. I don't want it. It's yours now.
00:03:17I knew she left it just to save me.
00:03:20I held on to that muddy bread tight and prayed,
00:03:22kind people like Mrs. Hanson deserve a reward from God.
00:03:26Right then, Mrs. Hanson accidentally kicked a pile of dead roots,
00:03:30and hidden inside was a massive, golden, dripping wild honeycomb.
00:03:40Mrs. Hanson took her lucky find home.
00:03:43She wanted to save the precious honey for her sick oldest son.
00:03:48Mother, this is too precious.
00:03:50You work so hard every day, you should have it.
00:03:55Are you trying to infuriate me?
00:03:57Arthur can barely breathe from his coughing.
00:04:00Do you want him to meet his mather early?
00:04:03Miss Ella, her second daughter-in-law, is super selfish.
00:04:08Her eyes lit up when she saw the honey, just like a hungry wolf.
00:04:16Arthur's minor lungs are already rotting.
00:04:18It's a waste to give it to him.
00:04:19I'm carrying your only grandson.
00:04:21He needs the nutrition way more.
00:04:27Stop!
00:04:28Mrs. Hanson and Miss Martha stormed out in a rage.
00:04:32But right as she crossed the threshold,
00:04:34Mrs. Hanson tripped over a dark figure in the corner.
00:04:38Curled up in the freezing corner was a ragged, bloody figure.
00:04:43It was me.
00:04:44My God, Leoneni!
00:04:46Why are you covered in blood out here?
00:04:51Since I didn't finish the work,
00:04:53my aunt whipped me bloody and threw me out.
00:04:55Turns out, under all that yelling,
00:04:58Mrs. Hanson's had the only kind heart in town.
00:05:03Grace is a wicked, heartless witch!
00:05:05What a bastard!
00:05:09Why did you come to my house anyway?
00:05:12Out of all the houses in the village,
00:05:13you were I and my honey, weren't you?
00:05:15No, Mrs. Hanson.
00:05:17It's because I know you're a good person.
00:05:26Don't be scared, Leonie.
00:05:28Stay with us tonight and I'll take you back in the morning.
00:05:30Oh my gosh!
00:05:31Mrs. Martha let me stay?
00:05:33Is this real?
00:05:34No!
00:05:35I don't agree!
00:05:36Get out!
00:05:37But Miss Ella called me a free loner.
00:05:40Grabbed me by the neck and tried to throw me out to the wolves.
00:05:43It hurts!
00:05:45Mrs. Hanson, help me!
00:05:46Please don't throw me out!
00:05:48I'll do anything!
00:05:50I struggled in despair,
00:05:52wanting so badly to live.
00:05:53Right then,
00:05:54a 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,
00:06:08everyone in town only ever ate hard black bread,
00:06:11but tonight we had delicious roast pork.
00:06:13Sweet Miss Martha gave me the best piece of meat.
00:06:16I didn't want to eat it.
00:06:18I wanted to repay Mrs. Hanson 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,
00:06:52but Miss Ella bites into a bone and knocks her teeth out.
00:06:56Her mouth is full of blood.
00:06:59Miss 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.
00:07:25Throw all this trash out!
00:07:26Don't bring bad luck into our house!
00:07:29She says my dad is dead
00:07:30and the military won't send any more subsidies.
00:07:41Auntie, please don't kick me out!
00:07:44I'll work harder!
00:07:45I won't eat!
00:07:46I won't sleep!
00:07:47I'm begging you!
00:07:49Get lost!
00:07:50You cursed brat!
00:07:51You killed your own father!
00:07:53Stay away from us!
00:07:55Aunt Grace wants to kick me out.
00:07:57I cry and hug her leg,
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.
00:08:21Back off!
00:08:21Mind your own business!
00:08:37Take this dead man's trash
00:08:38and go straight to hell!
00:08:45Dad!
00:08:47Even with the glass cutting my fingers
00:08:50and 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,
00:09:31but looking at my mangled hands,
00:09:33Mr. Carter painfully closes his eyes.
00:09:36In that moment,
00:09:37the last bit of hope in my heart
00:09:39completely dies.
00:09:41Dad really isn't coming back.
00:09:46Leone is the child of a hero!
00:09:49How dare you treat her like this!
00:09:50She's a jinx.
00:09:52I won't let her pass her bad luck to my son.
00:09:54She's getting out of my house today.
00:09:56Aunt Grace doesn't just want to kick me out.
00:09:59She wants to steal the farm and house Dad left me.
00:10:02And my own Uncle Thomas
00:10:04just 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
00:10:16to 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
00:10:29to the workhouse in the city.
00:10:31In that moment,
00:10:33I feel like a dirty rag
00:10:34tossed away by the world.
00:10:36With red eyes,
00:10:37Mr. Carter drags me toward his carriage.
00:10:40I kick frantically,
00:10:42digging my nails deep into the dirt,
00:10:44my face covered in blood and tears.
00:10:46No! I don't want to go to the workhouse!
00:10:47I want to wait for Dad right here!
00:10:50Please don't send me away!
00:10:53Just as I'm about to be stuffed into the carriage,
00:10:56I see a skinny but determined figure
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.
00:11:43As 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.
00:11:50Martha,
00:11:50I suggest you prepare a coffin for your sick husband first.
00:11:54Right then,
00:11:54Miss Ella,
00:11:55heavily pregnant,
00:11:56suddenly stormed out.
00:11:58Martha!
00:11:59Are you insane?
00:12:01She's just a freeloading jinx.
00:12:03Where on earth do we have the money to raise a stray?
00:12:05Everyone is saying Mrs. Hanson will kick me out.
00:12:09Martha,
00:12:09your family has no extra money or food either.
00:12:12Your mother-in-law will probably just throw her out again tomorrow.
00:12:17You gutter rat!
00:12:19Is talking trash behind people's backs all you're good for in this life?
00:12:23Mrs. Hanson shows up with a dark scowl.
00:12:26Everyone expects her to throw me back into the wild.
00:12:29But the next second,
00:12:31a crisp slap echoes out
00:12:33and the whole yard falls dead silent.
00:12:42You idiot!
00:12:44Don't think being pregnant makes you untouchable.
00:12:46How dare you come out here spewing lies!
00:12:49Now,
00:12:50get your ass back home now!
00:12:52Now!
00:12:58Taking Leonie in was my call.
00:13:01Anyone else got something to say?
00:13:03I'll shatter your bones with this pole!
00:13:07Mrs. Hanson's words hit like a bombshell.
00:13:10She's actually taking me.
00:13:12Turns out,
00:13:13even in this freezing world,
00:13:15someone is willing to face the backlash for a jinx like me.
00:13:19Ada,
00:13:20you've been a cheap shooter your whole life.
00:13:22You hoard rusty nails,
00:13:24but now you're raising a stray?
00:13:26They're dirt poor.
00:13:28Bet they'll trade her for rations?
00:13:30She's a hero's kid!
00:13:31You'll rot in jail for this!
00:13:33Cowards!
00:13:34When Officer Harry begged for food,
00:13:36it was crickets.
00:13:37Now I step up,
00:13:38and suddenly you've all got an opinion?
00:13:40You want her?
00:13:41Take her!
00:13:42No?
00:13:43Then shut your mouths!
00:13:46Listen up, Leonie.
00:13:47You'll be cold,
00:13:48hungry,
00:13:49and working your fingers to the bone.
00:13:51Can you handle that?
00:13:53I can!
00:13:54I'll wash clothes,
00:13:56gather 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?
00:14:16You owe me rations for my trouble!
00:14:18Are you crazy, Grace?
00:14:19You just refused to take her!
00:14:21You can't shake Ada down for food now!
00:14:23The orphanage is free!
00:14:25But a private adoption?
00:14:29That's a deal.
00:14:30Five pounds of premium flour.
00:14:32Not an ounce less,
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?
00:14:55We'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.
00:15:06Fine by me!
00:15:07Who wants this jinx anyway?
00:15:09Thomas, go write up the contract!
00:15:14Just as Aunt Grace smugly carries the flour inside,
00:15:18she trips over nothing.
00:15:20The flour she traded me for
00:15:22is completely blown away by the wind.
00:15:48See that?
00:15:50God is watching!
00:15:52Leonie, let'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
00:16:05a 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 junk,
00:16:20but she has sick Mr. Arthur tuck me in with it.
00:16:24In this moment,
00:16:25I finally have a home.
00:16:28Thank you, Grandma.
00:16:30Thank you, Mom.
00:16:33Thank you, Mr. Arthur.
00:16:36Mr. Arthur tells me to call him Dad.
00:16:38He says until my real dad comes back,
00:16:40he'll protect me with his life.
00:16:42I'm finally not an unwanted kid anymore.
00:16:51Good Lord!
00:16:53How could that wicked woman do this?
00:16:55Martha,
00:16:57go sell my wool coat.
00:16:59Use the money to build up her strength.
00:17:01To buy me meat.
00:17:02Dad even wants to sell his winter coat.
00:17:05Grandma slams the table and stops him,
00:17:07because without it,
00:17:08Dad won't survive the winter.
00:17:09Mom cries and says
00:17:11the doctor told them
00:17:12a natural hot spring
00:17:13could turn Dad's health around.
00:17:15But in Oakhaven,
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'd give up ten years of my life
00:17:31for 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
00:17:48like a giant dragon.
00:17:49Grandma!
00:17:50Mom!
00:17:51Come out quick!
00:17:52I broke the ground!
00:17:56Hearing my scream,
00:17:57Grandma Ad rushes over first.
00:17:59I think I broke the earth
00:18:01and caused a huge disaster.
00:18:03But when she touches the boiling water
00:18:06with trembling hands,
00:18:08she laughs
00:18:08and cries
00:18:10like a kid.
00:18:11It's hot!
00:18:12The water is hot!
00:18:13It's a natural hot spring!
00:18:37It'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
00:18:45a hot spring could save your lungs!
00:18:48You'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
00:18:56I'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 poison swords.
00:19:14What rotten luck!
00:19:16We're already too poor to eat
00:19:17and now we have to share food with her.
00:19:19Ella,
00:19:19I'm telling you,
00:19:21stay away from them.
00:19:23That 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,
00:19:39please 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
00:19:51pass her bad luck to your son?
00:19:53Her curse will kill your son!
00:19:56Pete!
00:20:03Get lost!
00:20:04Don't touch me with your dirty hands!
00:20:16Aunt Grace screams
00:20:18that 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.
00:20:37Grandma Ada told me
00:20:38if I'm bullied and oppressed,
00:20:40I have to fight back.
00:20:42Leone,
00:20:42you are a child of this house.
00:20:44When 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 on.
00:20:55Ouch!
00:20:55My shoulders hurt!
00:20:57I watch Aunt Grace run away.
00:21:00She used to seem like a giant fence to me,
00:21:03but now she looks like a panicked gray rat
00:21:06scurrying around.
00:21:07Grandma Ada is like a massive tree
00:21:10shielding me from the storm.
00:21:12She publicly announces she's cutting ties with Miss Ella.
00:21:15Leone is my chosen granddaughter.
00:21:17She's no jinx!
00:21:18Mother!
00:21:19Your real grandson is right here.
00:21:21Arthur is a cripple,
00:21:22and Martha can't have kids.
00:21:23If you insist on keeping this jinx,
00:21:25we're cutting ties.
00:21:27Fine, I agree.
00:21:28Mom and Dad pull Grandma's sleeves,
00:21:30begging her not to act rashly,
00:21:33but she firmly refuses.
00:21:35As long as this toxic woman,
00:21:38Ella, is around,
00:21:39our family will never have a normal life!
00:21:42I'm kicking this wicked woman out today!
00:21:46Cutting ties is no big deal.
00:21:48But get the best house
00:21:50and the biggest part of the farm done.
00:21:54You can have it!
00:21:56Just get out of my sight!
00:21:58Ella, don't hesitate!
00:22:02Cut ties with them!
00:22:03And your husband's money will be all yours!
00:22:06Do you want Leonise to bring bad luck
00:22:09to you and your baby?
00:22:12Don't forget!
00:22:13Her unlucky dad just died in the war!
00:22:16My dad isn't dead!
00:22:18He's coming back!
00:22:20He'll come back and make you pay!
00:22:22Stop dreaming!
00:22:24He was blown to ashes long ago!
00:22:26You won't even find his bones!
00:22:29Leonise's bad luck will drag the whole town down!
00:22:33Just watch!
00:22:34Soon you won't even have mud to eat!
00:22:36I'm not a jinx!
00:22:38Grandma Ada says I brought good luck!
00:22:41You're a bad person!
00:22:43Get out of my house!
00:22:49Aunt Grace's laughter suddenly stops
00:22:51as the roar of an engine
00:22:53where the steel monster
00:22:55shatters the silence of the wasteland
00:22:58and traces back doors and past.
00:23:00The pot door opens
00:23:01and a tall man covered in metal steps out.
00:23:05I don't even need to see his face.
00:23:07The pounding in my blood give
00:23:09gives me the answer.
00:23:10DAD!
00:23:19The majestic maid decorated with metals
00:23:22gives me a solemn salute.
00:23:24I thought God heard my prayers
00:23:27and brought Dad back.
00:23:29But that cold purple heart
00:23:31tells me
00:23:32I'll never feel his hug again.
00:23:40Captain Leo protected our country with his life.
00:23:43This honor belongs to him
00:23:44and to his only daughter, Leonie.
00:23:47The major pulls out a thick paper bag.
00:23:50Inside is $5,000
00:23:52from my dad's military pension.
00:23:55I don't know how much that is
00:23:56but I hear the adults saying
00:23:58it could buy a mountain of bread
00:24:00covered in sugar and jam.
00:24:03Aunt Grace and Uncle Thomas
00:24:05pop out of nowhere.
00:24:06One second they want to throw me into the wild
00:24:08and the next they put on fake smiles
00:24:10and try to drag me home.
00:24:12Uncle Thomas grips my arm like an iron vis.
00:24:15I know he doesn't want me.
00:24:17He wants that blood money.
00:24:20Grandma Ada acts like a lioness
00:24:23protecting her cub
00:24:24and rips up my sleeve.
00:24:25Those rotting frostbites and bruises
00:24:28look so layering in the sunlight.
00:24:30Look, sir!
00:24:31Living with these two heartless scumbags,
00:24:33Leonie starves,
00:24:34freezes and gets beaten every single day!
00:24:36It's absolutely heartbreaking!
00:24:44You!
00:24:46How dare you treat a hero's only daughter
00:24:49like an animal!
00:24:52Aunt Grace is still lying.
00:24:53She 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 shaking their heads.
00:25:01They all know it's not true.
00:25:03Bullshit!
00:25:04I saw you buy new leather boots
00:25:06in the city with the military pay
00:25:07while you made this poor kid
00:25:08gnaw on spoiled potato peels in the snow!
00:25:10Yeah!
00:25:11She even locked the kid in the barn to beat her!
00:25:13We all heard the scream!
00:25:15The major's face is as dark as a stormy sky.
00:25:18He waves his white-gloved hand
00:25:20and orders their arrest.
00:25:21Uncle Thomas is taken away,
00:25:23but Aunt Grace avoids arrest
00:25:24because she has a baby to take care of.
00:25:29Watching the jeep drive away,
00:25:31I don't feel the thrill of revenge.
00:25:33I just think that maybe justice
00:25:34really does come to this desolate life.
00:25:39I thought with $5,000,
00:25:42my new home would be safe.
00:25:43I never expected trouble to come so fast.
00:25:46Miss Ella bursts through the door
00:25:47and her stare at that pile of cash
00:25:49is even scarier than Aunt Grace's.
00:25:53I'm carrying the only heir to this family.
00:25:56We should get half of that $5,000.
00:25:59James keeps his head down.
00:26:01For money,
00:26:02he doesn't even dare look at his sick brother.
00:26:05They aren't trying to steal money.
00:26:07They're trying to steal my last memory of my dad.
00:26:10Nobody is touching this money,
00:26:12including you!
00:26:14From now on, we live our own lives.
00:26:17Get out of my house!
00:26:19For me,
00:26:20Grandma kicks her own son out of the house.
00:26:23She rubs my head and says,
00:26:25as long as she's here,
00:26:27no one will touch a single hair on my head.
00:26:35Grandma Ada locks the money
00:26:37in an iron box under the bed.
00:26:39She tells me that money
00:26:41could buy lots of pretty clothes and candy.
00:26:44But my dad traded his life for it,
00:26:47so we can't waste a single penny.
00:26:52Dad's gut-ranking coughs
00:26:53come from the back room.
00:26:56He begs Mom from his sick bed
00:26:58to stop worrying about him
00:27:00and to save the last bite of food for me.
00:27:19The cracked earth in the Blackwood Forest
00:27:22looks like countless mouths laughing at our poverty.
00:27:25Starving people have stripped away
00:27:27every chewable piece of tree bark
00:27:29in this hell hole.
00:27:30Mom leans on her stick,
00:27:32wandering the wasteland in despair.
00:27:34Just as Mom is about to collapse,
00:27:38I trip hard over a tree root.
00:27:40In the flying dust,
00:27:46I actually find a few heavy,
00:27:48dirty, weird-looking stones.
00:27:53Mom says they're useless rocks
00:27:56and tells me to throw them away.
00:27:58But right as she reaches out,
00:28:00something weird happens again.
00:28:05The festwick dies on the spot
00:28:08and rolls right to Mom's feet.
00:28:11Aunt Grace called me a jinx.
00:28:14But now,
00:28:15God himself has delivered dinner to me.
00:28:27Mom is finally smiling.
00:28:30When she smiles,
00:28:31the wrinkles around her eyes look like pretty flowers.
00:28:35If good luck is real,
00:28:37I want to give it all to the people who treat me well.
00:28:43But this is just the beginning.
00:28:45I actually dig up some lumpy white roots from the dirt
00:28:48that smell amazing.
00:28:51Mom says they're wild mushrooms.
00:28:54They smell so good.
00:28:56I don't know what they are,
00:28:58but Mom says we can sell them for money,
00:29:00so they must be good.
00:29:03Golden grease bubbles in the pan.
00:29:06The white mushrooms Mom sliced.
00:29:10Release an incredible, mind-blowing smell in the heat.
00:29:14Even bed-roan Papa Arthur can't help but sit up.
00:29:23You're clearly an angel bringing good luck,
00:29:26yet they call you a witch-bringing disaster.
00:29:28What a bunch of blind idiots.
00:29:31But the smell brings trouble, too.
00:29:33Miss Ella bursts in,
00:29:35drooling so much it almost drips into our pot.
00:29:38She points to the air in her belly
00:29:41and demands the biggest bowl of meat.
00:29:45This time, Grandma Ada doesn't even look back.
00:29:49The heavy, bloody meat-crawber in her hand
00:29:52just flies across the room.
00:29:54With Grandma here, no one can go to us.
00:29:56Take one more step into my yard
00:29:58and I'll chop your feet off.
00:29:59Get lost!
00:30:04This is the first time I've ever had a full stomach.
00:30:07I don't have to shiver in a freezing haystack,
00:30:09and no one is pulling my hair.
00:30:11I eat the delicious chicken,
00:30:14and the air smells like pure happiness.
00:30:33Papa Arthur says his lungs feel warm,
00:30:37and he can finally bleep easier.
00:30:39Mom says those white mushrooms we found
00:30:42will definitely sell for a good price.
00:30:45If we can buy medicine,
00:30:47Papa will be saved!
00:30:50The blowing yellow sand can't hide
00:30:53how run down the market is.
00:30:55Mom and I huddle in a corner,
00:30:56carefully laying out those lumpy white roots.
00:30:59I don't know it yet,
00:31:00but these wild mushrooms are called white gold
00:31:03on the tables of rich city folks.
00:31:06And then she started begging her cousin Mark.
00:31:09She kept pulling on his sleeve and crying.
00:31:13I'm sorry.
00:31:14She wanted Mark Uncle to get Thomas out of jail.
00:31:24Mark is impatiently trying to push her away.
00:31:28Then he notices us in the corner.
00:31:32A Aunt Grace blames me for all her tragedies.
00:31:39Leone!
00:31:41You're the reason my life is ruined!
00:31:47Aunt Grace's face is uglier than dead bark
00:31:50in the Blackwood Forest.
00:31:52For the $5,000 she brought her bully cousin Mark,
00:31:56who works at the town hall.
00:31:58They stare at Mom and me like starving wolves.
00:32:04Mom and I guard our stall.
00:32:06It's our only hope to buy Papa's medicine.
00:32:14But Mark comes right up
00:32:16and kicks our basket over.
00:32:19Mark yells like crazy in the market,
00:32:22framing us for selling deadly poisonous mushrooms.
00:32:24Right in front of everyone,
00:32:26he crushes the white mushrooms
00:32:28we worked so hard to find,
00:32:29just like stepping on trash.
00:32:31Mark grabs the gray stones I found,
00:32:33calling us money-hungry scammers.
00:32:36With a loud bang,
00:32:37he smashes the rocks onto the ground.
00:32:40The sound of them breaking
00:32:41is the sound of my heart breaking.
00:32:43The crowd believes Mark.
00:32:45They point at us,
00:32:47calling us shameless.
00:32:48Their insults almost drown Mom and me.
00:32:51We're not scamming anyone.
00:32:54These really aren't poisonous mushrooms.
00:32:57That's not true.
00:32:58We're not lying.
00:33:02Mark doesn't care about poisonous mushrooms at all.
00:33:05He just wants the $5,000 Papa left us.
00:33:09He threatens Mom like a snake,
00:33:12saying if we don't pay protection money,
00:33:14he'll make us disappear from Oakhaven for good.
00:33:17To protect my life-saving money,
00:33:20Mom firmly rejects this hungry wolf.
00:33:22But it brings devastating revenge.
00:33:25Mark goes crazy.
00:33:27He flips our stall
00:33:28and crushes the white mushrooms
00:33:30that could save Papa Arthur into mud.
00:33:32I scream and pray for God
00:33:35to punish these bad people.
00:33:36But all I get is Aunt Grace's piercing cacker!
00:33:39You bad people!
00:33:41God is watching!
00:33:43He will definitely punish you!
00:33:45She points at my nose,
00:33:47calling me a naive little idiot,
00:33:50saying even Jesus couldn't save us now.
00:33:53Stop!
00:33:57I follow everyone's gaze
00:33:59and see two men walking in from the crowd.
00:34:02They dress completely differently from the townsfolk
00:34:05and they look incredibly distinguished.
00:34:14What the hell are you blind idiots doing?
00:34:20The old man with glasses kneels in the mud,
00:34:22holding the crushed pieces.
00:34:24His hands are shaking worse than dead leaves in autumn.
00:34:27I can feel how angry and heartbroken he is.
00:34:29At the time,
00:34:30I still didn't know
00:34:31just how precious those crushed white mushrooms were.
00:34:38You fool!
00:34:40These are Topgrey's white struffles
00:34:42that even the royal family pays a fortune to find!
00:34:45And you crush them?
00:34:47Mark's face instantly drained of color,
00:34:49too terrified to speak.
00:34:51Meanwhile,
00:34:52Mr. Sterling,
00:34:53with his leopard cane,
00:34:55slowly walks toward the gray stones
00:34:57Aunt Grace smashed.
00:34:59In that moment,
00:35:00I think the sun fell into the stone.
00:35:02Beneath the dull gray surface,
00:35:04a dreamy, deep purple light shines out.
00:35:07Mr. Sterling says,
00:35:09It's an extremely rare,
00:35:10natural amethyst geog.
00:35:12Mr. Sterling goes crazy.
00:35:14He pulls out a thick stack of hundred-dollar bills,
00:35:17enough to buy half the town,
00:35:19and shoves it into Mom's hands.
00:35:21He says he'd give his entire fortune
00:35:23to buy all the trash stones I found.
00:35:25Seeing things go bad,
00:35:30Mark and Aunt Grace try to sneak away
00:35:32into the crowd like cowards.
00:35:34But the two men in black suits
00:35:37grab them by the collars
00:35:39and throw them hard
00:35:40into a filthy, stinking mud puddle.
00:35:46Mom's hands are shaking so much,
00:35:49she can barely hold the heavy stack of cash.
00:35:51She can't believe the rotten mushrooms
00:35:54and broken stones
00:35:55I casually picked up in the Blackwood Forest
00:35:58are actually worth more than gold.
00:36:01Mr. Sterling takes off his expensive top hat.
00:36:04He says,
00:36:05I'm an angel blessed by God.
00:36:07The villagers who used to point and gloss up
00:36:10are all shocked silent by this massive fortune.
00:36:14You just found these lying around?
00:36:17Good Lord, this child is absolutely a reincarnated angel.
00:36:22Only someone blessed by God
00:36:24could have such unbelievable luck.
00:36:26Mr. Sterling, I think we have an obligation
00:36:28to help this child get the compensation she deserves
00:36:31and make these scumbags face their punishment.
00:36:34The well-dressed lawyer steps forward.
00:36:37He calculates our damages at $3,500.
00:36:41That's an astrosnomical price,
00:36:43enough to buy the whole town of Oakhaven.
00:36:47Mark doesn't want to pay the compensation.
00:36:50He tries to run towards a speeding coal train
00:36:53to hop on and escape.
00:36:58The bodyguard quickly drags him back from the train
00:37:00and pins him in the mud.
00:37:02He can't run anymore.
00:37:03The sheriff arrives and tells Aunt Grace
00:37:05that if she doesn't get the money together in 48 hours,
00:37:08she'll not only hand over Papa's farm that she stole,
00:37:11but she'll also rot in jail for the rest of her life.
00:37:20Late at night in Oakhaven,
00:37:21the wind tears at the ground like a mad beast.
00:37:23The old roof shakes.
00:37:25The drafty windows creak.
00:37:26But in the flickering light of the kerosene lamp,
00:37:28Aunt Grace is scarier than the storm.
00:37:29I found a picture today.
00:37:30A man in a uniform.
00:37:31I asked who he was.
00:37:33She said it was nothing,
00:37:34just someone who used to live here.
00:37:35The old roof shakes.
00:37:37The drafty windows creak.
00:37:39The $3,500 collection notice chokes her like a noose.
00:37:45Instead of repenting,
00:37:47Aunt Grace just stares at the document
00:37:48with the red thumbprint,
00:37:50plotting to steal the blood-soaked douching money
00:37:52under Grandma Ada's bed.
00:37:55Lightning flashes,
00:37:57lighting up Aunt Grace's soaked face.
00:37:59She raises cold plizers,
00:38:02snips the wire fence,
00:38:04and sneaks onto our farm.
00:38:22It rained so hard that night.
00:38:24The noise keeps me awake.
00:38:27I get up for a drink of water.
00:38:29Having no idea danger is so close.
00:38:40The wind is so strong outside.
00:38:44I'm afraid the rain will ruin the wood floor,
00:38:46so I drag a big iron bucket over
00:38:49and force the window shut tight.
00:38:51I think closing the window will keep the storm out,
00:38:54but I don't notice the old frame is rotten.
00:38:58The second I turn around,
00:39:01Aunt Grace pries it open.
00:39:10I don't know the window is broken
00:39:13and might fall if opened again.
00:39:15Aunt Grace risks her life for that money.
00:39:18She squeezes inside.
00:39:21Scraping the skin right off her waist.
00:39:25The metal clangs loudly in the dead of night.
00:39:29Aunt Grace flails like a funny puppet,
00:39:32desperately trying to grab something
00:39:34to steady herself.
00:39:35Please don't fall.
00:39:36But she grabs a wobbly shell.
00:39:39Ah!
00:39:40Ah!
00:39:43Ah!
00:39:43Ah!
00:39:43It burns!
00:39:44My eyes!
00:39:46Help!
00:39:46Grandma Ada taught me
00:39:48that quick live boils like a kettle
00:39:50when it hits water.
00:39:52Aunt Grace screams so miserably,
00:39:55but...
00:39:57she wouldn't be hurt
00:39:58if she didn't sneak in
00:39:59through the window at midnight.
00:40:04Aunt Grace screams,
00:40:06smashes through the back door,
00:40:08and plunges into the terrestrial rain.
00:40:11The quick line boils on her face.
00:40:13The burning blinds her,
00:40:15making her stumble through the mud.
00:40:19Help!
00:40:19Even the farm dog avoids that stinky pit.
00:40:23Aunt Grace used to call me a smelly beggar,
00:40:26but now,
00:40:27even the skunk living in the pit
00:40:29is disgusted by her.
00:40:31Aunt Grace crawls out of the cesspool,
00:40:34her mind still obsessed with the money.
00:40:37When she finds the heavy,
00:40:39locked metal box in the junk pile,
00:40:41her burned eyes beam scarier than the demons.
00:40:44A locked box!
00:40:46The money must be inside!
00:40:57The smell of gunpowder overpowers the rain,
00:41:01and Grandma Ada's furious shout
00:41:03tears through the night.
00:41:05Aunt Grace actually hits the gas
00:41:07through a hail of bullets.
00:41:08In the pouring rain,
00:41:11Aunt Grace laughs like a dying maniac
00:41:14in a speeding truck.
00:41:20This 5,000 is all mine!
00:41:22She hugs the metal box to her chest,
00:41:24thinking she holds all the wealth in the world
00:41:27and has finally beaten everyone.
00:41:32Grandma Ada holds her shotgun,
00:41:34anxious to chase her.
00:41:36I stand barefoot in the mud
00:41:38and gently tug her wet shirt to remind her.
00:41:41Uncle Thomas told me before
00:41:42that whenever it storms,
00:41:44the wooden bridge over there floods completely.
00:41:50La la la, la la la la la.
00:41:55The truck in the storm
00:41:56is like a wild beast out of control.
00:41:59I.E. Grace screams madly in the cab.
00:42:01When she sees the river
00:42:02completely swallowing the bridge,
00:42:04she falls into total despair.
00:42:06Where's my bridge?
00:42:07Stop!
00:42:08Stop right now!
00:42:11The crash shatters the rain.
00:42:14Aunt Grace doesn't die,
00:42:16but she lands somewhere worse than hell.
00:42:18Major Evans' military restricted zone.
00:42:23Money.
00:42:25My money.
00:42:26A dozen black Thompson submachine guns
00:42:29aim right at her head.
00:42:31The major steps forward
00:42:33in his raincoat
00:42:34with a cold face.
00:42:36I told you not to flee.
00:42:38Where do you think you're driving,
00:42:39Ms. Grace?
00:42:47It's over.
00:42:49It's all over.
00:42:52The stench from the truck
00:42:54is more nauseating
00:42:55than a rotting corpse
00:42:56in the black forest.
00:42:57It's the smell of cesspooled water
00:43:00mixed with Aunt Grace's bleed.
00:43:03Even as the MPs drag her into the mud,
00:43:05she clings to the heavy metal box.
00:43:08While Aunt Grace dreams of being rich,
00:43:11Grandma Ada arrives with me
00:43:12on her roaring tractor.
00:43:14Grandma looks at Aunt Grace in the mud
00:43:16and laughs with sheer contempt.
00:43:18Because the real pension money
00:43:20rests safely under the handsome family's bed.
00:43:27Grandma Ada tells Major Evans the truth
00:43:30and he pries open the heavy padlock
00:43:33with the dagger.
00:43:34With a loud clank,
00:43:36Aunt Grace's dream shatters completely.
00:43:48Stealing private property.
00:43:50Go join your husband in prison.
00:43:53Take her away.
00:44:04My once arrogant aunt and uncle
00:44:07now look like two cornered rabbits
00:44:11facing their final judgment.
00:44:14Grandma doesn't carry her scary shotgun today.
00:44:18She puts me in a new lace dress
00:44:20and holds my hand,
00:44:22stepping into the light
00:44:23like a guardian angel.
00:44:25This is all on you!
00:44:26Uncle Thomas' mental defenses
00:44:27completely break down
00:44:29and he roars at Aunt Grace.
00:44:31Facing 20 years in prison,
00:44:33he doesn't hesitate to sign his name.
00:44:44The gavel bangs down hard.
00:44:47The judge declares that the farm
00:44:49and 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,
00:45:08he bends down and smiles at us.
00:45:10Just like the chubby man in town
00:45:12who 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,
00:45:24she stinks so bad
00:45:26that even I have to turn my head
00:45:28and pinch my nose.
00:45:30Remember that freezing barn
00:45:32you kicked Leonie into
00:45:33on that stormy day?
00:45:35From today on,
00:45:37that broken barn is yours.
00:45:39The guards can't stand
00:45:40Aunt Grace's sour stench.
00:45:42They drag her out
00:45:43and her screams echo through the hall.
00:45:47The adults surround me,
00:45:49smiling and calling me
00:45:50a lucky little angel.
00:45:52But I don't care.
00:45:54All I know is that
00:45:55Grandma's hand holding mine
00:45:57is big and warm.
00:45:58And no one will ever force me
00:46:00into a freezing barn again.
00:46:04I used to think this dirt
00:46:06could only grow hard rocks
00:46:07and starved bugs.
00:46:09Only today do I realize
00:46:11it can grow so much wheat
00:46:13that looks like pure gold.
00:46:17Grandma laughed so loudly today.
00:46:23Good girl, look.
00:46:25These are all gifts from God.
00:46:27That neither of us notices
00:46:28Miss Ella staring at me.
00:46:30She looks exactly like
00:46:32Aunt Grace used to
00:46:33when 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
00:46:44and eat me alive.
00:46:52If that damn old hack
00:46:54won't give it to us,
00:46:55we'll just take it ourselves.
00:46:57Take it?
00:46:57How?
00:46:58That land is in the name
00:46:59of that little bastard Leonie.
00:47:05Then we'll find a way
00:47:06to switch the deeds.
00:47:08Greedy snakes can never fill
00:47:10their 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
00:47:25and knocks on the back door of power,
00:47:27just like a sewer rat.
00:47:34I only learn later
00:47:35that there's a scary magic
00:47:37in the adult world.
00:47:39If you secretly give the mayor
00:47:41a special gift,
00:47:42your wishes come true.
00:47:47James uses tobacco and money
00:47:50to trade for the Fertilile farm
00:47:51under my name.
00:48:04James,
00:48:06your appetite
00:48:07is way bigger
00:48:09than your dying brothers.
00:48:12James,
00:48:22your appetite
00:48:23power completely surrenders
00:48:25to money.
00:48:28The mayor accepts
00:48:30James' gift.
00:48:49Take it, James.
00:48:51With this requisition order,
00:48:52that Fertile land
00:48:53is yours by sunrise tomorrow.
00:49:12This morning,
00:49:13a lot of people
00:49:14suddenly come to our farm.
00:49:18It's James,
00:49:19Miss Ella,
00:49:20and the mayor.
00:49:21They look really mean.
00:49:23They use big adult words
00:49:25I don't understand.
00:49:27I just see Grandma Ada
00:49:28shaking with anger
00:49:30because they want to trade
00:49:31a barren wasteland
00:49:32for our golden wheat field.
00:49:37Trade?
00:49:38James,
00:49:39do 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
00:49:49that marker herself.
00:49:50When it falls,
00:49:52my heart hurts so much.
00:49:54You robbers!
00:49:55I'll fight you to the death!
00:49:58Those two guns
00:50:00are so, so close
00:50:01to Grandma's head.
00:50:02For the first time,
00:50:03I realize a hunting rifle
00:50:04isn't scary at all.
00:50:05Mrs. Hanson,
00:50:06calm down,
00:50:07or we'll arrest you
00:50:08for obstructing justice.
00:50:10No!
00:50:11Don't kill my Grandma!
00:50:12No!
00:50:13What's really scary
00:50:14is when others
00:50:15point guns at us.
00:50:23Just sign it,
00:50:24Mrs. Hanson.
00:50:25You don't want
00:50:26this little girl
00:50:27watching you
00:50:27get taken away,
00:50:28do you?
00:50:28Grandma Ada
00:50:29looks at me
00:50:30crying in fear.
00:50:32She closes her eyes
00:50:34and agrees
00:50:35to sign the contract.
00:50:38I grip Grandma's
00:50:40clothes tight.
00:50:41I'm worried
00:50:42she's in danger.
00:50:43I see her eyes
00:50:44turn red
00:50:45and my heart aches,
00:50:46but I don't know
00:50:47what to do.
00:50:56You old hag!
00:50:58Take this unlucky
00:50:59little stray
00:51:00and get on my property
00:51:01right now!
00:51:02Go eat dirt
00:51:03in that rocky wasteland!
00:51:10We 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
00:51:36Grandma is
00:51:37and my heart feels
00:51:38like it's crushed
00:51:39by a rock,
00:51:40but 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
00:51:50even 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,
00:52:01something 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.
00:52:09Danger!
00:52:10Leonis,
00:52:10get out of the way!
00:52:16The ground shakes
00:52:18like a thousand
00:52:19wild horses
00:52:20running 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 a sleeping demon
00:52:27with my rusty little shovel.
00:52:30I've never seen
00:52:31such a scary
00:52:32and awesome sight.
00:52:33The black liquid
00:52:34shoots up so high
00:52:36and rains down,
00:52:38splashing all over me
00:52:39and Grandma.
00:52:40This weird rain
00:52:41is black and stinky.
00:52:42It sticks to my face
00:52:44and ruins
00:52:45my only clean dress.
00:52:47I look at Grandma
00:52:48nervously,
00:52:49terrified she's gonna
00:52:50blow up
00:52:51over this 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!
00:53:07I don't know
00:53:08what oil is,
00:53:09but I can taste
00:53:10Grandma's happy tears.
00:53:12In this black rain,
00:53:14we hug each other
00:53:15so tight.
00:53:19Not long after
00:53:20that black rain,
00:53:21a bunch of big 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 twice at.
00:53:42Congratulations, Mrs. Hanson.
00:53:44Your granddaughter
00:53:45is a true
00:53:46lucky angel.
00:53:48A bunch of guys
00:53:49in expensive suits
00:53:50step out of the cars.
00:53:51They use weird gadgets
00:53:53to dig and measure
00:53:54all over the place.
00:53:58Mr. Sterling!
00:53:59Initial surveys show
00:54:01the most massive
00:54:02shallow oil field
00:54:04in the entire state
00:54:05is hidden
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 Mr. Sterling
00:54:13pull out
00:54:14a really big
00:54:14piece of paper
00:54:15with lots
00:54:16and lots
00:54:17of zeros on it.
00:54:18Starting today,
00:54:19an oil company
00:54:20named after you
00:54:21is officially founded.
00:54:22Congratulations,
00:54:22my little
00:54:23black gold Tycara!
00:54:24In that moment,
00:54:26I feel like
00:54:26I'm dreaming.
00:54:28Mr. Sterling
00:54:28calls me
00:54:29a black gold Tycone.
00:54:31I don't really
00:54:31get what that means,
00:54:32but he tells me
00:54:33we'll never
00:54:34go hungry again.
00:54:37Mr. Sterling
00:54:38tells me
00:54:39God rewards
00:54:40the good
00:54:41but also punishes
00:54:42the bad guys
00:54:43who bully us
00:54:44without mercy.
00:54:45Once I use
00:54:45this money
00:54:46to buy off
00:54:47the state senator,
00:54:48I'll get out
00:54:49of this hell hole
00:54:50and be a real
00:54:51big shot
00:54:51in Washington.
00:54:52And he sends
00:54:53the toughest lawyers
00:54:55and cops
00:54:56to find that evil mayor.
00:54:57Those gentlemen
00:54:58in black suits
00:54:59burst right into
00:55:00that room
00:55:00full of lies.
00:55:02Mr. Mayor,
00:55:03this is all the evidence
00:55:04of your corruption,
00:55:05bribery,
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.
00:55:15This 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
00:55:37with jealousy.
00:55:38Damn it!
00:55:38That land
00:55:39was ours!
00:55:41We threw it away!
00:55:43At least we still
00:55:44have the best
00:55:44wheat field in town.
00:55:45We'll strike it
00:55:46rich in the fall
00:55:47anyway.
00:55:48That little bit
00:55:49of oil they have
00:55:49will probably
00:55:50dry up real soon.
00:55:51Miss Ella
00:55:52is still dreaming
00:55:53of getting rich
00:55:54but she doesn't know
00:55:55that God's judgment
00:55:57never spares
00:55:58a greedy soul.
00:55:59I see a huge
00:56:00dark cloud
00:56:01flying in.
00:56:04As it gets closer
00:56:06I realize
00:56:07it's not a cloud
00:56:08at all.
00:56:09It's millions
00:56:10of gross bugs.
00:56:25James' screams
00:56:27echo across
00:56:27the empty farm.
00:56:29That golden wheat field
00:56:30is just completely
00:56:32eaten up
00:56:33by the bugs.
00:56:36The bugs
00:56:37eat all the crops.
00:56:38Miss Ellie kneels
00:56:39in the messy mud
00:56:40without a shred
00:56:41of dignity
00:56:42like a soulless corpse.
00:56:44Miss Ella cries
00:56:45so hard.
00:56:46She probably
00:56:47doesn't get
00:56:48why God's bugs
00:56:48only ate the fertile
00:56:50wheat field
00:56:50they stole from us.
00:56:51God!
00:56:53It's all God!
00:56:55We're bankrupt!
00:57:01A lot of big machines
00:57:03I've never seen before
00:57:04arrive on this rocky land.
00:57:07Mr. Sterling says
00:57:08they'll make us
00:57:09so much money
00:57:10I won't be able
00:57:11to spend it all
00:57:12in a lifetime.
00:57:20So many people
00:57:21are here today
00:57:22and they're all cheering.
00:57:24I'm so happy
00:57:25because Grandma Ida
00:57:27and I have new clothes on.
00:57:29She takes my hand
00:57:30and we cut the red ribbon.
00:57:34Grandma said
00:57:35flowers planted in rocks
00:57:36bloom brighter
00:57:37than any other.
00:57:39Now,
00:57:40our harsh winter
00:57:41is finally over 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
00:58:13Leones' custody
00:58:14and this oil field
00:58:16is mine.
00:58:18For money and revenge,
00:58:20they sell
00:58:21Grandma Ida
00:58:22and me out.
00:58:27Ida is vulgar
00:58:28and mentally unstable.
00:58:30She carries
00:58:31a hunting rifle
00:58:32everywhere,
00:58:33has violent tendencies
00:58:35and constantly
00:58:36abuses Leonie.
00:58:39Excellent!
00:58:40She's unfit
00:58:41to raise Leonie.
00:58:42I'll be taking
00:58:42over her custody.
00:58:45McClane files
00:58:46a petition
00:58:47to change guardianship
00:58:49at the court,
00:58:50shattering
00:58:50my peaceful life
00:58:52with Grandma Ida.
00:58:55It's a rare,
00:58:56sweet moment,
00:58:57but the screech
00:58:58of brakes
00:58:59shatters the peace.
00:59:01Two bailiffs
00:59:02step out of the car
00:59:03and walk straight up
00:59:04to Grandma Ida.
00:59:05Hello, Mrs. Hanson.
00:59:07We're from the city court.
00:59:08Someone reported you
00:59:08for child abuse
00:59:09and is demanding you
00:59:10hand over
00:59:10Leonessa's custody.
00:59:12Grandma 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!
00:59:28Sorry,
00:59:28we're just here
00:59:29to notify you.
00:59:29Direct any questions
00:59:30to the hearing
00:59:31next Wednesday.
00:59:32Until then,
00:59:32you are forbidden
00:59:33from transferring
00:59:33any assets
00:59:34under the girl's name.
00:59:36But my promise
00:59:37is useless
00:59:37because everything
00:59:39will be decided
00:59:40in court.
00:59:42The hearing
00:59:42proceeds as scheduled.
00:59:44For Grandma Ida
00:59:45and me,
00:59:45this isn't a fair trial
00:59:47at all.
00:59:47It's a brutal,
00:59:48one-sided execution.
00:59:50McClane hired
00:59:50top-tart 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
00:59:58how 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
01:00:07that you need to present
01:00:07evidence for your claims.
01:00:09Of course,
01:00:10don't you worry about that.
01:00:11Lawyer Barry
01:00:12uses fancy legal talk
01:00:14to paint Grandma Ida
01:00:15as a violent,
01:00:17ignorant village woman.
01:00:18What's worse,
01:00:20the devil's accomplices
01:00:21take the stand.
01:00:22Your Honor,
01:00:24I 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,
01:00:34you're crossing the line.
01:00:35James,
01:00:36is 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
01:00:51in jail instantly!
01:00:52The judge has already
01:00:53been bought off
01:00:54by McClain.
01:00:55He doesn't listen
01:00:56to a word you say.
01:00:57The court leans
01:00:58towards revoking
01:00:59Ada's guardianship,
01:01:01transferring it
01:01:02to McClain's foundation
01:01:03and sending Leonine
01:01:05to a closed boarding school
01:01:07on the East Coast.
01:01:09A closed school
01:01:10means I'll be totally
01:01:12at McClain's mercy
01:01:13and our oil wealth
01:01:15will be completely
01:01:16swallowed up.
01:01:16I won't go to school!
01:01:18I don't want to leave
01:01:19Grandma Ada!
01:01:23Everyone holds
01:01:25their breath.
01:01:26The judge is about
01:01:27to strip Grandma Ada
01:01:28of my custody.
01:01:30Whatever is on that paper
01:01:31decides my fate.
01:01:33The bad guy's wicked laughs
01:01:35drill into my ears.
01:01:37Their dirty revenge
01:01:39is about to succeed.
01:01:41Grandma Ada hugs me tight,
01:01:44completely desperate.
01:01:45I glare at those monsters
01:01:47through my tears.
01:01:48I absolutely can't let them
01:01:50take everything from me.
01:01:54I see the massive
01:01:55chandelier crash down,
01:01:57smashing the briefcase
01:01:59next to the judge.
01:02:02Countless papers
01:02:03fly everywhere.
01:02:05Mr. Sterling grabs
01:02:06some key documents.
01:02:07He announces
01:02:08to the courtroom
01:02:09that it's evidence
01:02:10of the judge
01:02:11taking bribes
01:02:12from the sickleon.
01:02:13The proof is solid.
01:02:15All their dirty deals
01:02:17are exposed.
01:02:18Despicable!
01:02:19They ganged up
01:02:19to take Leonie away.
01:02:21But now it's all
01:02:21out in the open.
01:02:22Their plot fails.
01:02:23We're done for.
01:02:24Mr. Sterling
01:02:25calls the police.
01:02:27McLean's plot
01:02:28is completely ruined
01:02:30and Miss Ella
01:02:31and the others
01:02:32will get what
01:02:33they deserve.
01:02:34McLean,
01:02:36your dirty money
01:02:37can buy a judge,
01:02:39but 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 pawns.
01:03:07damn you, Ada.
01:03:10This isn't over.
01:03:11McLean doesn't
01:03:12just let it go.
01:03:13He finds the local
01:03:14mafia
01:03:15ready to use
01:03:17violence.
01:03:23Just when we think
01:03:24everything is peaceful
01:03:26again,
01:03:26McLean's revenge
01:03:27hits fast.
01:03:29Way beyond
01:03:30what any of us
01:03:31expected.
01:03:32I'll go check it out.
01:03:34I walk out
01:03:36with Grandma Ada
01:03:37and the others.
01:03:38We see several cars
01:03:39without license cards
01:03:41smash through
01:03:41the farm gate
01:03:42like mad bulls,
01:03:44completely 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
01:03:56to them dirt cheap,
01:03:57but 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
01:05:09has 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!
01:05:37They 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!
01:05:52To 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 into
01:06:08our defenseless backyard.
01:06:23That bitch Martha
01:06:24took the little bastard
01:06:26in there.
01:06:26This is our best chance.
01:06:28Whether the mob
01:06:30or Mother wins,
01:06:31we'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 Ada
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
01:07:05is busy fighting the mob.
01:07:06Let's see who comes
01:07:07to save you this time.
01:07:09They'll want to kidnap me,
01:07:10but Mom Martha
01:07:11stands in front of me
01:07:12to protect me.
01:07:18Stop fighting,
01:07:20you little brat!
01:07:21You'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.
01:07:31Hurry 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,
01:07:37but...
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
01:07:54my hands tied
01:07:55to a rotting wooden post.
01:07:57Ella and James
01:07:57are like wolves
01:07:58ready to devour me.
01:07:59Once we get the money,
01:08:00we'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.
01:08:12I'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.
01:08:45The harsh light
01:08:46flashes right
01:08:47past my feet.
01:08:48I'm gonna be found.
01:08:50What do I do?
01:08:51Save me,
01:08:52Grandma 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
01:09:14Leonades.
01:09:16Mom lost me
01:09:18and she feels
01:09:19incredibly guilty.
01:09:24Let's take them
01:09:25down with us.
01:09:30The mob finds
01:09:31Mom Martha
01:09:32and the others.
01:09:43You're out of bullets,
01:09:44right?
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?
01:10:17Where is my daughter?
01:10:20Leo!
01:10:22Leonie's
01:10:23real 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,
01:10:35asking where I am.
01:10:37Grandma Ada
01:10:37blasts the venomous
01:10:39McLean's plant
01:10:40and Ella's
01:10:41shameless kidnapping.
01:10:43Luckily,
01:10:44Sheriff Harry arrives
01:10:45at the scene
01:10:45and quickly takes 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 sent
01:10:54people to block us.
01:10:56Seeing my father alive,
01:10:58Sheriff Harry is so shocked
01:10:59he can barely hold
01:11:00his gun.
01:11:01My father explains
01:11:02he faked his death
01:11:03to carry out
01:11:04a top secret mission.
01:11:05By the way,
01:11:06my men saw
01:11:07Ella and James
01:11:08heading toward
01:11:08the abandoned mine
01:11:09out west.
01:11:10Thank you, Harry.
01:11:12Thank you, Harry.
01:11:14Thank you, Harry.
01:11:18But right now,
01:11:20the blinding flashlight beam
01:11:22pins 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 catch me.
01:11:28That'll just cause
01:11:29more trouble
01:11:30for Grandma Ada.
01:11:32Save me, Dad.
01:11:42Leone!
01:11:44I run through
01:11:45the tunnel for my life,
01:11:47but those heavy footsteps
01:11:50follow me
01:11:50like a death sentence.
01:11:52James catches up
01:11:53to me quickly.
01:11:55He grabs my hair tight,
01:11:56slams me hard
01:11:57onto the cold,
01:11:58rocky ground,
01:11:59and talks with Miss Ella
01:12:00about breaking my legs.
01:12:02The huge rock
01:12:03is about to smash my legs.
01:12:05I can almost hear
01:12:06my bones breaking.
01:12:07Someone,
01:12:08please save me.
01:12:10Who?
01:12:10Who is this?
01:12:11Do you have any idea
01:12:12who you're messing with?
01:12:14No!
01:12:16No!
01:12:16No!
01:12:17Don't kill me!
01:12:18You can take the girl.
01:12:19She's worth an oil field.
01:12:20You'll be rich!
01:12:21I hear Ella's terrified voice
01:12:22in the dark.
01:12:23Did someone save me?
01:12:26No!
01:12:41Dad?
01:12:46Dad?
01:12:47It's Dad.
01:12:48He saves me.
01:12:49I knew he wasn't dead.
01:12:51My daughter.
01:12:52My daughter.
01:12:52Leonith.
01:12:53Dad's embrace
01:12:54is as warm
01:12:55as the midday sun.
01:12:56It instantly drives away
01:12:58all the cold
01:12:59and fear
01:13:00in the mine.
01:13:01Dad carefully
01:13:02checks me for injuries.
01:13:04Luckily,
01:13:05Miss Ella
01:13:05and the others
01:13:06haven't hurt me yet.
01:13:07Dad takes me
01:13:09out of the pitch black mine.
01:13:11Grandma Ada
01:13:11and the others
01:13:12find us too.
01:13:13Grandma Ada
01:13:14checks every inch of me.
01:13:16She only relaxes
01:13:17after making sure
01:13:18I'm not hurt.
01:13:20Leonie!
01:13:21My sweet baby!
01:13:23Are you okay?
01:13:25Grandma Ada
01:13:26furiously scolds
01:13:27Miss Ella
01:13:28and James.
01:13:29Sheriff Harry arrives
01:13:31and arrests them.
01:13:32The bad guys
01:13:33are taken away.
01:13:34No!
01:13:35Mother,
01:13:35please forgive me!
01:13:36It's over.
01:13:38It's all over.
01:13:39No!
01:13:40And Dad
01:13:41is finally back.
01:13:42I hold
01:13:43Grandma's hand
01:13:44tightly with one hand
01:13:45and grip
01:13:46Dad broad,
01:13:47warm hand
01:13:48with the other.
01:13:52Dad promises me
01:13:53he will come back.
01:13:55Grandma Ada
01:13:56tells me
01:13:56Dad is going to
01:13:58catch the bad guy.
01:13:59The one behind
01:14:00this whole conspiracy.
01:14:03Dad tells me
01:14:04to stay here
01:14:05and be good.
01:14:06He has to go
01:14:07take care of something.
01:14:13Dad tells me
01:14:17Dad tells me
01:14:18Dad tells me
01:14:18Dad tells me
01:14:22Dad tells me
01:14:23he will come back.
01:14:24Dad tells me
01:14:25he will come back.
01:14:25Dad tells me
01:14:26he will come back.
01:14:30He will come back.
01:14:31Damn it!
01:14:31Why does he have
01:14:32a military background?
01:14:40McLean jumps
01:14:41into his car
01:14:42in a panic
01:14:43but they don't
01:14:44even make it
01:14:45out of the
01:14:45estate gates.
01:14:46Get us out of here
01:14:47as fast as you can.
01:14:49Now!
01:14:55My dad blocks
01:14:56their way.
01:14:57McLean gives the order
01:14:59and the car
01:15:00doesn't slow down.
01:15:02They want to run
01:15:03my dad over.
01:15:04Facing the speeding beast
01:15:06Dad doesn't panic.
01:15:08He calmly
01:15:09pulls out his gun
01:15:10and shoots.
01:15:15Dad's perfect
01:15:17braking marksmanship
01:15:18flips the bad guy's car.
01:15:21McLean can't escape.
01:15:22Don't kill me!
01:15:23I'll give you
01:15:24ten million!
01:15:25Keep your money.
01:15:26You'll need it
01:15:27to buy your way
01:15:28into hell.
01:15:31McLean stands
01:15:32in the dock
01:15:33in a prison uniform
01:15:34totally stripped
01:15:36of his former arrogance.
01:15:39Dad not only
01:15:40catches McLean himself
01:15:42but also gathers
01:15:43all the evidence
01:15:44of his crimes.
01:15:46No elite lawyer
01:15:47can save him now.
01:15:49McLean
01:15:51do you have
01:15:53anything to say?
01:15:54No.
01:15:55I confess
01:15:56to my crimes.
01:15:58In the end
01:15:59McLean
01:16:01is sentenced
01:16:01to life in prison
01:16:02and stripped
01:16:03of all his assets.
01:16:15As for
01:16:16Miss Ella
01:16:16and James
01:16:17they get
01:16:19their due punishment
01:16:19too.
01:16:2030 years
01:16:21in prison.
01:16:22They deserve it.
01:16:23All the bad guys
01:16:25are locked up
01:16:26and I finally
01:16:27have my dad back.
01:16:29A much better life
01:16:30is waiting
01:16:31for us.
01:16:33Dad's hand
01:16:34is so warm
01:16:35and I feel
01:16:36so comfortable
01:16:37right now.
01:16:39He promises
01:16:40he'll never
01:16:40leave my side again.
01:16:42Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.
01:16:44Our family
01:16:45must have
01:16:45a proper celebration.
01:16:53The fire cracklers
01:16:54and the smell
01:16:55of roast turkey
01:16:57and pumpkin pie
01:16:58fills the whole house.
01:17:00This is a Thanksgiving dinner
01:17:02I couldn't even dare
01:17:04to dream of.
01:17:06Grandma Ada
01:17:07and the family
01:17:07call me their little angel.
01:17:09They say they have
01:17:10this life now
01:17:10because of me.
01:17:12My dad
01:17:13also thanks Grandma Ada
01:17:14because she took me in.
01:17:17If it weren't for her
01:17:18I wouldn't be here today.
01:17:26Even without blood ties
01:17:27I've considered them
01:17:29my real family
01:17:30for a long time.
01:17:38This is the only thing
01:17:39your mom left behind.
01:17:40She got separated
01:17:41from her family
01:17:42in a dust storm.
01:17:43Her wish was to find them.
01:17:44Now I'm passing it
01:17:46on to you.
01:17:46Mom?
01:17:47I take my mom's
01:17:49belonging
01:17:49and beside me
01:17:50Grandma Ada
01:17:51suddenly freezes
01:17:52as if she's been
01:17:53electrocuted.
01:17:57Oh my god!
01:17:59Leonie!
01:18:00Your mother
01:18:01is my biological daughter
01:18:02who went missing
01:18:0330 years ago!
01:18:04I gave her this
01:18:05pocket watch!
01:18:06You are Margaret's child!
01:18:08Nobody saw this coming.
01:18:09My mom is actually
01:18:11Aide Grandma Ada's
01:18:12daughter.
01:18:16I hug Grandma
01:18:18Aide tight.
01:18:19No, she's my
01:18:20real grandma.
01:18:21She's my actual
01:18:22family.
01:18:23Grandma Ada

01:18:25Yes, my sweet girl.
01:18:27I'm your grandma.

01:18:30Thank god.
01:18:31We truly are family.

01:18:33my dad back
01:18:34but Grandma Ada
01:18:35is my biological
01:18:36grandmother.

01:18:48Thanks to the oil field
01:18:50everyone in the village
01:18:51can afford to eat
01:18:52and wear warm clothes.
01:18:55Dad plays with me
01:18:56every day.
01:18:58I feel like
01:18:59the happiest kid
01:19:00in the world.
01:19:02And my Grandma Ada
01:19:04she no longer
01:19:05needs her mean
01:19:06disguise.
01:19:07She is now
01:19:08the most generous
01:19:09old lady
01:19:10in the whole village.
01:19:11Take a break
01:19:12if you're tired.
01:19:16Grandma Ada!
01:19:20Hi!
01:19:21Grandma Ada!

01:19:27looks so pretty today!
01:19:30Hi!
01:19:31Leona needs to go
01:19:32to school in the city.
01:19:33I'm taking her there
01:19:34myself.
01:19:35Dad, will the city
01:19:36people bully me?
01:19:38Don't worry.
01:19:39Dad will protect you.
01:19:41I am so incredibly
01:19:42happy now.
01:19:43All the misfortunes
01:19:44of the past are gone.
01:19:46I feel so blessed
01:19:47because I finally
01:19:48have a home
01:19:49that will never
01:19:49fall apart.
