00:07:52the villagers
00:07:53others to each chip in a little food to raise me together but those neighbors who once received
00:07:59favors from my dad all make excuses about having no extra food they even suggest sending me to the

00:13:31for the first time the cramped cabin feels warm from the fire mrs hanson curses the whole time
00:13:38calling the thick wool blanket miss martha spent three months knitting

00:15:10i run to the back
00:15:11hill wanting to do more chores for the family with a loud pop i easily pull a deep rooted stump
00:15:18right out of the ground then a blast of hot wet steam shoots into the sky like a giant dragon
00:15:27grandma mom come out quick i broke the ground
00:15:33hearing my scream grandma add rushes over first
00:15:37i think i broke the earth and caused a huge disaster but when she touches the boiling water
00:15:43with trembling hands she laughs and cries like a kid it's hot the water is hot it's a natural hot
00:15:53spring
00:16:08my face burns like it's on fire but i don't cry grandma ada told me if i'm bullied and oppressed

00:16:23grandma helps me raise my hand and aim at aunt grace who's waiting for a laugh the stone hits her
00:16:30shoulder dead on my shoulders hurt i watch that grace run away she used to seem like a giant fence
00:16:39to me
00:16:39but now she looks like a panicked gray rat scurrying around grandma ada is like a massive tree shielding me
00:16:47from the storm she publicly announces she's cutting ties with miss ella leone is my chosen granddaughter
00:16:53she's no jinx mother your real grandson is right here arthur is a cripple and martha can't have kids

00:18:20out of my house
00:18:25and grace's laughter suddenly stops as the roar of an engine and a steel monster shatters the silence of the
00:18:34wasteland and traces backwards and a pot door opens and a tall man covered in metal steps out i don't
00:18:41even
00:18:42need to see his face the pounding in my blood give gives me the answer a hot spring it's a
00:19:03real hot spring

00:20:47just as i try to beg again ella winds up and slaps me hard across the face
00:20:57aunt grace is still lying she points at my bloody wounds and lies with a straight face that i fell
00:21:02while playing but i see the neighbors shaking their heads they all know it's not true
00:21:08bullshit i saw you buy new leather boots in the city with the military pay while you made this poor
00:21:13kid gnaw on spoiled potato peels in the snow yeah she even locked the kid in the barn to beat

00:21:18heard the screams the major's face is as dark as a stormy sky he waves his white gloved hand and
00:21:25orders
00:21:25their arrest uncle thomas is taken away but aunt grace avoids arrest because she has a baby to take care
00:21:31of
00:21:34watching the jeep drive away i don't feel the thrill of revenge i just think that maybe justice really
00:21:40does come to this desolate life i thought with five thousand dollars my new home would be safe i
00:21:48never expected trouble to come so fast miss ella bursts through the door and her stare at that pile
00:21:54of cash is even scarier than aunt grace's i'm carrying the only heir to this family we should get half
00:22:02of
00:22:02that five thousand dollars james keeps his head down for money he doesn't even dare look at his sick
00:22:09brother they aren't trying to steal money they're trying to steal my last memory of my dad nobody is
00:22:16touching this money including you from now on we live our own lives get out of my house for me
00:22:24grandma kicks
00:22:25her own son out of the house she rubs my head and says as long as she's here no one
00:22:32will touch a single
00:22:33hair on my head the majestic maid decorated with medals gives me a solemn salute i thought god heard my
00:22:47prayers and brought dad back but that cold purple heart tells me i'll never feel his hug again
00:23:00captain leo protected our country with his life this honor belongs to him and to his only daughter
00:23:07leonie the major pulls out a thick paper bag inside is five thousand dollars from my dad's military pension
00:23:16i don't know how much that is but i hear the adults saying it could buy a mountain of bread
00:23:21covered in
00:23:21sugar and jam aunt grace and uncle thomas pop out of nowhere one second they want to throw me into
00:23:29the wild and the next they put on fake smiles inside a dragging home uncle thomas grips my arm like
00:23:35an iron
00:23:35vis i know he doesn't want me he wants that blood money grandma ada acts like a lioness protecting her
00:23:44cub
00:23:44and rips up my sleeve those rotting frostbites and bruises look so layering in the sunlight
00:23:50look sir living with these two heartless scumbags leonive starves freezes and gets beaten every single
00:23:56day it's absolutely heartbreaking you how dare you treat a hero's only daughter like an animal
00:24:12mom is finally smiling when she smiles the wrinkles around her eyes look like pretty flowers
00:24:20if good luck is real i want to give it all to the people who treat me well
00:24:28but this is just the beginning i actually dig up some lumpy white roots from the dirt that smell
00:24:34amazing mom says they're wild mushrooms they smell so good i don't know what they are but mom says we
00:24:44can
00:24:44sell them for money so they must be good golden grease bubbles in the pan the white mushrooms mom sliced
00:24:55release an incredible mind-blowing smell in the heat even bed-roan papa arthur can't help but sit up
00:25:08you're clearly an angel bringing good luck yet they call you a witch bringing disaster
00:25:13what a bunch of blind idiots but the smell brings trouble too miss ella bursts in drooling so much it
00:25:21almost drips into our pot she points to the air in her belly and demands the biggest bowl of meat
00:25:30this time grandma ada doesn't even look back the heavy bloody meat crawler in her hand just flies
00:25:38across the room with grandma here no one can go with us take one more step into my yard and
00:25:43i'll chop
00:25:43your feet off get lost
00:25:49grandma ada locks the money in an iron box under the bed
00:25:53she tells me that money could buy lots of pretty clothes and candy but my dad traded his life for
00:26:00it so we can't waste a single penny
00:26:05dad's gut-ranking coughs come from the back room
00:26:10he begs mom from his sickbed to stop worrying about him and to save the last bite of food for
00:26:16me
00:26:33the cracked earth in the blackwood forest looks like countless mouths laughing at our poverty
00:26:38starving people have stripped away every chewable piece of tree bark in this hell hole mom leans on her
00:26:45stick wandering the wasteland in despair just as mom is about to collapse
00:26:51i trip hard over a tree root in the flying dust
00:26:59i actually find a few heavy dirty weird looking stones
00:27:07mom says they're useless rocks and tells me to throw them away
00:27:11but right as she reaches out something weird happens again
00:27:19the festwick dies on the spot and rolls right to mom's feet
00:27:24aunt grace called me a jinx
00:27:28but now god himself has delivered dinner to me
00:27:41this is the first time i've ever had a full stomach
00:27:44i don't have to shiver in a freezing haystack and no one is pulling my hair
00:27:49i eat the delicious chicken and the air smells like pure happiness
00:28:11papa arthur says his lungs feel warm and he can finally breathe easier
00:28:17mom says those white mushrooms we found will definitely sell for a good price
00:28:23if we can buy medicine papa will be saved
00:28:28the blowing yellow sand can't hide how run down the market is
00:28:32mom and i huddle in a corner carefully laying out those lumpy white roots
00:28:37i don't know it yet but these wild mushrooms are called white gold on the tables of rich city folks
00:28:43and then she started begging her cousin mark she kept pulling on his sleeve and crying
00:28:52she wanted mark uncle to get thomas out of jail
00:29:02mark is impatiently trying to push her away then he notices us in the corner
00:29:10a aunt grace blames me for all her tragedies
00:29:24aunt grace's face is uglier than dead bark in the blackwood forest
00:29:30for the five thousand dollars she brought her bully cousin mark who works at the town hall
00:29:36they stare at mom and me like starving wolves
00:29:42mom and i guard our stall it's our only hope to buy papa's medicine
00:29:52but mark comes right up and kicks our basket over
00:29:57mark yells like crazy in the market framing us for selling deadly poisonous mushrooms
00:30:02right in front of everyone he crushes the white mushrooms we worked so hard to find just like
00:30:08stepping on trash mark grabs the gray stones i found calling us money hungry scammers with a loud bang
00:30:15he smashes the rocks onto the ground the sound of them breaking is the sound of my heart breaking
00:30:21the crowd believes mark they point at us calling us shameless their insults almost drown mom and me
00:30:29we're not scamming anyone these really aren't poisonous mushrooms that's not true we're not lying
00:30:40mark doesn't care about poisonous mushrooms at all he just wants the five thousand dollars papa left us
00:30:47he threatens mom like a snake saying if we don't pay protection money he'll make us disappear from oak
00:30:54haven for good to protect my life saving money mom firmly rejects this hungry wolf but it brings
00:31:01devastating revenge mark goes crazy he flips our stall and crushes the white mushrooms that could
00:31:08save papa arthur into mud i scream and pray for god to punish these bad people but all i get
00:31:15is aunt
00:31:15grace is piercing cacker you bad people god is watching he will definitely punish you
00:31:23she points at my nose calling me a naive little idiot saying even jesus couldn't save us now stop
00:31:35i follow everyone's gaze and see two men walking in from the crowd they dress completely differently from
00:31:42the townsfolk and they look incredibly distinguished
00:31:52what the hell are you blind idiots doing
00:31:57the old man with glasses kneels in the mud holding the crushed pieces his hands are shaking worse than
00:32:03dead leaves in autumn i can feel how angry and heartbroken he is at the time i still didn't know
00:32:09just how precious those crushed white mushrooms were
00:32:16you fool these are top grades white struffles that even the royal family pays a fortune to find
00:32:23and you crush them mark's face instantly drained of color too terrified to speak meanwhile mr sterling with
00:32:31his leopard cane slowly walks toward the gray stones aunt grace smashed in that moment i think the sun
00:32:39fell into the stone beneath the dull gray surface a dreamy deep purple light shines out mr sterling says
00:32:46it's an extremely rare natural amethyst geogre mr sterling goes crazy he pulls out a thick stack of
00:32:53hundred dollar bills enough to buy half the town and shoves it into mom's hands he says he'd give his
00:33:00entire
00:33:00fortune to buy all the trash stones i found seeing things go bad
00:33:08mark and aunt grace try to sneak away into the crowd like cowards
00:33:13but the two men in black suits grab them by the collars and throw them hard into a filthy stinking
00:33:19mud puddle
00:33:24mom's hands are shaking so much she can barely hold the heavy stack of cash she can't believe the rotten
00:33:31mushrooms and broken stones i casually picked up in the blackwood forest are actually worth more than gold
00:33:38mr sterling takes off his expensive top hat he says i'm an angel blessed by god the villagers who used
00:33:46to
00:33:47point and gloss up are all shocked silent by this massive fortune you just found these lying around
00:33:55good lord this child is absolutely a reincarnated angel only someone blessed by god could have such
00:34:02unbelievable luck mr sterling i think we have an obligation to help this child get the compensation
00:34:08she deserves and make these scumbags face their punishment the well-dressed lawyer steps forward he
00:34:15calculates our damages at three thousand five hundred dollars that's an astrosnomical price enough to buy
00:34:23the whole town of oak haven mark doesn't want to pay the compensation he tries to run towards a speeding
00:34:30coal train to hop on and escape the bodyguard quickly drags him back from the train and pins him in
00:34:39the
00:34:39mud he can't run anymore the sheriff arrives and tells aunt grace that if she doesn't get the money
00:34:44together in 48 hours she'll not only hand over papa's farm that she stole but she'll also rot in jail
00:34:50for the
00:34:50rest of her life late at night in oak haven the wind tears at the ground like a mad beast
00:35:01the old roof
00:35:02shakes the drafty windows creep but in the flickering light of the kerosene lamp aunt grace is scarier than
00:35:06the storm i found a picture today a man in a uniform i asked who he was she said it
00:35:11was nothing just someone
00:35:12he used to live with the old roof shakes the drafty windows crank the three thousand and five hundred
00:35:19dollars collection notice chokes her like a noose instead of repenting aunt grace just stares at the
00:35:26document at the red thumbprint plotting to steal the blood-soaked duching money under grandma ada's bed
00:35:33lightning flashes lighting up aunt grace's soaked face she raises cold plizers snips the wire fence
00:35:41and sneaks onto our farm
00:36:00it rained so hard that night the noise keeps me awake i get up for a drink of water having
00:36:08no idea danger is
00:36:09so close
00:36:18the wind is so strong outside i'm afraid the rain will ruin the wood floor so i drag a big
00:36:26iron bucket
00:36:26over and force the window shut tight i think closing the window will keep the storm out but i don't
00:36:33notice
00:36:34the old frame is rotten the second i turn around aunt grace pries it open
00:36:48i don't know the window is broken and might fall if open again aunt grace risks her life for that
00:36:56money
00:36:56she squeezes inside scraping the skin right off her waist
00:37:03the metal clangs loudly in the dead of night
00:37:06aunt grace flails like a funny puppet desperately trying to grab something to steady herself
00:37:13please don't fall but she grabs a wobbly shell
00:37:24grandma ada taught me that quick live boils like a kettle when it hits water
00:37:30aunt grace screams so miserably but she wouldn't be hurt if she didn't sneak in through the window at midnight
00:37:42aunt grace screams smashes through the back door and plunges into the terrestrial rain
00:37:49the quick line boils on her face the burning blinds her making her stumble through the mud
00:37:57even the farm dog avoids that stinky pit aunt grace used to call me a smelly beggar but now even
00:38:06the skunk
00:38:06living in the pit is disgusted by her aunt grace crawls out of the cesspool her mind still obsessed with
00:38:14the
00:38:14money when she finds the heavy locked metal box in the junk pile her burned eyes being scarier than the
00:38:22demons
00:38:22a locked box the money must be inside
00:38:35the smell of gunpowder overpowers the rain and grandma ada's furious shout tears through the night
00:38:43aunt grace actually hits the gas through a hail of bullets in the pouring rain aunt grace laughs like a
00:38:51dying maniac in the speeding truck
00:38:58this 5000 is all mine she hugs the metal box to her chest thinking she holds all the wealth in
00:39:05the world
00:39:05and has finally beaten everyone
00:39:10grandma ada holds her shotgun anxious to chase her i stand barefoot in the mud and gently tug her wet
00:39:18shirt to remind her uncle thomas told me before that whenever it storms the wooden bridge over there
00:39:23floods completely
00:39:33the truck in the storm is like a wild beast out of control i.e grace screams madly in the
00:39:39cab
00:39:39when she sees the river completely swallowing the bridge she falls into total despair
00:39:45stop stop right now
00:39:50the crash shatters the rain aunt grace doesn't die but she lands somewhere worse than hell
00:39:57major evans military restricted zone
00:40:01money
00:40:03my money my money a dozen black thompson submachine guns aim right at her head
00:40:09the major steps forward in his raincoat with a cold face i told you not to flee
00:40:16where do you think you're driving miss grace
00:40:25it's over it's all over
00:40:30the stench from the truck is more nauseating than a rotting corpse in the black forest
00:40:36it's the smell of cesspool water mixed with aunt grace's food
00:40:41even as the mps drag her into the mud she clings to the heavy metal box while aunt grace dreams
00:40:47of
00:40:48being rich grandma ada arrives with me on her roaring tractor grandma looks at aunt grace in the mud and
00:40:54laughs with sheer contempt because the real pension money rests safely under the handsome family's bed
00:41:05grandma ada tells major evans the truth and he pries open the heavy padlock with the daggers
00:41:12with a loud claim aunt grace's dream shatters completely
00:41:26stealing private property go join your husband in prison take her away
00:41:43my once arrogant aunt and uncle now look like two cornered rabbits facing their final judgment
00:41:52grandma doesn't carry her scary shotgun today she puts me in a new lace dress and holds my hand
00:42:00stepping into the light like a guardian angel
00:42:03uncle thomas's mental defenses completely break down and he roars at aunt grace
00:42:09facing 20 years in prison he doesn't hesitate to sign his name
00:42:22the gavel bangs down hard the judge declares that the farm and all the wealth dad left me
00:42:29are finally back in my hands the judge usually looks so mean and everyone is scared of him
00:42:45but today he bends down and smiles at us just like the chubby man in town who loves giving kids
00:42:52candy
00:42:55aunt grace used to plug her nose disgusted by the moldy barn smell on me
00:43:01but now she stinks so bad that even i have to turn my head and pinch my nose
00:43:08remember that freezing barn you kicked leonie into on that stormy day
00:43:13from today on that broken barn is yours
00:43:17the guards can't stand aunt grace's sour stench they drag her out and her screams echo through the hall
00:43:25the adults surround me smiling and calling me a lucky little angel
00:43:30but i don't care all i know is that grandma's hand holding mine is big and warm and no one
00:43:37will ever
00:43:38force me into a freezing barn again
00:43:43i used to think this dirt could only grow hard rocks and starved bugs
00:43:48only today do i realize it can grow so much wheat that looks like pure gold
00:43:55grandma laughed so loudly today
00:44:01good girl look these are all gifts from god that neither of us notices miss ella staring at me
00:44:09she looks exactly like aunt grace used to when she wanted to hit me miss ella yells at james they
00:44:16want this most fertile land in town miss ella looks at me so fiercely as if she wants to rush
00:44:22over and eat me
00:44:28alive
00:44:31if that damn old hack won't give it to us we'll just take it ourselves
00:44:35take it how that land is in the name of that little bastard leonie
00:44:43then we'll find a way to switch the deeds
00:44:46greedy snakes can never fill their bottomless pit of desire
00:44:50blood ties don't bring family love they just become an excuse to steal
00:45:00greedy james brings his dark secrets and knocks on the back door of power just like a sewer rat
00:45:12i only learn later that there's a scary magic in the adult world
00:45:17if you secretly give the mayor a special gift your wishes come true
00:45:26james uses tobacco and money to trade for the fertile isle farm under my name
00:45:42james
00:45:43james
00:45:45your appetite is way bigger than your dying brothers
00:45:49james is way bigger than your dying brothers

00:53:16james's screams echo across the empty farm that golden wheat field is just completely eaten up by the bugs

01:00:34grandma ada chooses to let mom martha hide me in the cellar while she faces the mafia head-on
01:00:42mom
01:00:42mom
01:00:43mom
01:00:44mom
01:00:54mom
01:00:55mom
01:01:03Give me 10 minutes to think about it.
01:01:12Grandma pretends to give in, just to keep me safe.
01:01:23Grandma Ada has already decided to fight the Mafia to the end,
01:01:30and Dad Arthur asks Sheriff Harry for backup.
01:01:40The mobsters get ready to strike,
01:01:45but Grandma Ada is faster.
01:01:52Damn it! They have guns!
01:01:54You scumbags want to steal my granddaughter's land?
01:01:58Get off my property right now or I'll send you to hell!
01:02:05The bribe judge is taken away by the police.
01:02:08I finally return to Grandma Ada,
01:02:10and the greedy James and Ella become abandoned pawns.
01:02:20Damn it!
01:02:21Damn it!
01:02:22Damn you, Ada!
01:02:30This isn't over.
01:02:31McClann doesn't just let it go.
01:02:34He finds the local Mafia, ready to use violence.
01:02:43Just when we think everything is peaceful again,
01:02:47McClellan's revenge hits fast, way beyond what any of us expected.
01:02:52I'll go check it out.
01:02:55I walk out with Grandma Ada and the others.
01:02:58We see several cars without license cards smash through the farm gate like mad bulls,
01:03:04completely blocking our escape.
01:03:11They claim McClann sent them.
01:03:13They threaten Grandma Ada to sell the oil field to them dirt cheap,
01:03:17but she refuses to give in.
01:03:19They only give us 10 minutes.
01:03:21After 10 minutes, they'll make their move.
01:03:28I wake up to find my hands tied to a rotting wooden post.
01:03:31Ella and James are like wolves ready to devour me.
01:03:34Once we get the money,
01:03:36we'll throw you down an abandoned mine shaft to feed the rats!
01:03:39Let's go.
01:03:40We should check the situation outside.
01:03:43They leave, and I'm all alone in the abandoned mine.
01:03:46I'm so scared, but I can't just do nothing.
01:03:49They'll use me to threaten Grandma Ada.
01:03:51I can't let them get away with it.
01:03:53Thank God.
01:03:54The lalt rope falls off on its own.
01:03:57Is that firefly leading the way for me?
01:04:10The little bitch escaped!
01:04:12Miss Ella quickly notices I'm gone.
01:04:14She and James are searching for me.
01:04:20The harsh light flashes right past my feet.
01:04:23I'm gonna be found.
01:04:25What do I do?
01:04:26Save me, Grandma Ada.
01:04:28Dad!
01:04:34To protect me and our home, Grandma Odd and Dad Arthur
01:04:38get into a shootout with the mob.
01:04:44But nobody knows that two greedy coyotes are sneaking into our defenseless backyard.
01:05:06That bitch, Martha, took the little bastard in there.
01:05:09This is our best chance.
01:05:11Whether the mob or mother wins, we're dead either way.
01:05:14Catching Leonel is our only leverage.
01:05:24The constant gunshots outside make me super anxious.
01:05:28Just then, the cellar door suddenly opens.
01:05:32Is it Grandma Ada and the others coming back?
01:05:34Grandma Ada?
01:05:40It's you!
01:05:42Get out of here right now!
01:05:43My dear sister Martha, that old hag Ada is busy fighting the mob.
01:05:48Let's see who comes to save you this time.
01:05:51They want to kidnap me, but Ma Martha stands in front of me to protect me.
01:06:00Oh! Stop fighting you little brat! You're our cash cow!
01:06:04Ella grabs me, clamping a towel soaked in pungent chemicals tightly over my nose and mouth.
01:06:10Intense busyness instantly pierces my brain.
01:06:13Hurry up! Get her in the sack! We don't have much time!
01:06:16Grandma Ada and the others hide in the cellar to dodge the mob, but...
01:06:23Martha, wake up!
01:06:28Mother Arthur, James and Ella took Leonese.
01:06:35Grandma Ada and the others are trapped.
01:06:38The mob is searching for us.
01:06:41Grandma Ada and Dad Arthur wait for Sheriff Harry, but he doesn't show up because the mob has him pinned
01:06:48down too.
01:06:50It's all my fault. I didn't protect Leonese.
01:06:55Mom lost me, and she feels incredibly guilty.
01:07:03Let's take them down with us.
01:07:09The mob finds Mom Martha and the others.
01:07:21You're out of bullets, right?
01:07:25Say your prayers.
01:07:27But right then, a deafening roar interrupts Victor.
01:07:37Who's this nosy bastard? You got a death wish?
01:07:48Who is...
01:07:57Where is my daughter?
01:07:59Leo!
01:07:59Leo!
01:08:01Leo needs real father!
01:08:06That tall man, like a god of war, my father Leo, rushes to Grandma anxiously, asking where I am.
01:08:16Grandma Ada blasts the venomous McLean's plant and Ella's shameless kidnapping.
01:08:22Luckily, Sheriff Harry arrives at the scene and quickly takes down the rest of the mobsters.
01:08:30Mrs. Hansen, please forgive me for being late. That mob sent people to block us.
01:08:35Seeing my father alive, Sheriff Harry is so shocked he can barely hold his gun.
01:08:40My father explains he faked his death to carry out a top secret mission.
01:08:44By the way, my men saw Ella and James heading toward the abandoned mine out west.
01:08:49Thank you, Harry.
01:08:57But right now, the blinding flashlight beam pins me down like a viper's tongue.
01:09:03Catch her! She can't get far!
01:09:05I can't let them catch me.
01:09:07That'll just cause more trouble for Grandma Ada.
01:09:10Save me, Dad.
01:09:14No!
01:09:20Leone!
01:09:23I run through the tunnel for my life, but those heavy footsteps follow me like a death sentence.
01:09:31James catches up to me quickly.
01:09:34He grabs my hair tight, slams me hard onto the cold, rocky ground, and talks with Miss Ella about breaking
01:09:40my legs.
01:09:41The huge rock is about to smash my legs.
01:09:44I can almost hear my bones breaking.
01:09:46Someone, please save me.
01:09:49Who? Who is it?
01:09:50Do you have any idea who you're messing with?
01:09:55No! Don't kill me! You can take the girl! She's worth an oil field! You'll be rich!
01:09:59I hear Ella's terrified voice in the dark.
01:10:02Did someone save me?
01:10:20Dad?
01:10:26Dad?
01:10:26It's Dad. He saves me. I knew he wasn't dead.
01:10:30My daughter, Leonith.
01:10:32Dad's embrace is as warm as the midday sun.
01:10:35It instantly drives away all the cold and fear in the mine.
01:10:40Dad carefully checks me for injuries.
01:10:43Luckily, Miss Ella and the others haven't hurt me yet.
01:10:47Dad takes me out of the pitch black mine.
01:10:50Grandma Ada and the others find us too.
01:10:53Grandma Ada checks every inch of me.
01:10:55She only relaxes after making sure I'm not hurt.
01:10:58Leone! My sweet baby, are you okay?
01:11:04Grandma Ada furiously scolds Miss Ella and James.
01:11:08Sheriff Harry arrives and arrests them.
01:11:11The bad guys are taken away.
01:11:13No! Mother, please forgive me!
01:11:15It's over. It's all over.
01:11:19And Dad is finally back.
01:11:21I hold Grandma's hand tightly with one hand and grip Dad broad, warm hand with the other.
01:11:31Dad promises me he will come back.
01:11:34Grandma Ada tells me Dad is going to catch the bad guy.
01:11:38The one behind this whole conspiracy.
01:11:42Dad tells me to stay here and be good.
01:11:45He has to go take care of something.
01:12:01Glane messes everything up.
01:12:03After finding out Dad's identity, he decides to flee immediately.
01:12:09Dammit! Why does he have a military background?!
01:12:20McLean jumps into his car in a panic.
01:12:22But they don't even make it out of the estate gates.
01:12:25Get us out of here. As fast as you can.
01:12:28Now!
01:12:34My dad blocks their way.
01:12:36McLean gives the order.
01:12:38And the car doesn't slow down.
01:12:41They want to run my dad over.
01:12:43Facing the speeding beast, Dad doesn't panic.
01:12:47He calmly pulls out his gun and shoots.
01:12:55Dad's perfect Braithee marksmanship flips the bad guy's car.
01:13:00McLean can't escape.
01:13:02Don't kill me! I'll give you 10 million!
01:13:04Keep your money. You'll need it to buy your way into hell.
01:13:10McLean stands in the dock in a prison uniform, totally stripped of his former arrogance.
01:13:18Dad not only catches McLean himself, but also gathers all the evidence of his crimes.
01:13:25No elite lawyer can save him now.
01:13:30McLean, do you have anything to say?
01:13:32No.
01:13:34I confess to my crimes.
01:13:37In the end, McLean is sentenced to life in prison.
01:13:42And stripped of all his assets.
01:13:54As for Miss Ella and James, they get their due punishment too.
01:14:0030 years in prison.
01:14:01They deserve it.
01:14:02All the bad guys are locked up, and I finally have my dad back.
01:14:08A much better life is waiting for us.
01:14:13Dad's hand is so warm, and I feel so comfortable right now.
01:14:17He promises he'll never leave my side again.
01:14:21Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.
01:14:23Our family must have a proper celebration.
01:14:32The fire cracklers, and the smell of roast turkey and pumpkin pie, fills the whole house.
01:14:40This is a Thanksgiving dinner I couldn't even dare to dream of.
01:14:45Grandma Ada and the family call me their little angel.
01:14:48They say they have this life now because of me.
01:14:51My dad also thanks Grandma Ada, because she took me in.
01:14:56If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be here today.
01:15:05Even without blood ties, I've considered them my real family for a long time.
01:15:17This is the only thing your mom left behind.
01:15:20She got separated from her family in a dust storm.
01:15:22Her wish was to find them.
01:15:24Now I'm passing it on to you.
01:15:26Mom?
01:15:26I take my mom's belonging, and beside me, Grandma Ada suddenly freezes as if she's been electrocuted.
01:15:36Oh my god!
01:15:38Leonie!
01:15:39Your mother is my biological daughter who went missing 30 years ago!
01:15:44I gave her this pocket watch!
01:15:46You are Margaret's child!
01:15:47Nobody saw this coming.
01:15:48My mom is actually Aide Grandma Ada's daughter.
01:15:56I hug Grandma Aide tight.
01:15:58No, she's my real grandma.
01:16:00She's my actual family.
01:16:02Grandma Ada, you're my real grandma.
01:16:05Yes, my sweet girl.
01:16:06I'm your grandma.
01:16:08Forever.
01:16:09Thank God.
01:16:10We truly are family.
01:16:12Not only do I have my dad back, but Grandma Ada is my biological grandmother.
01:16:16I'm so lucky and so happy.
01:16:18Happy Thanksgivings everyone!
01:16:20Let's eat!
01:16:25The nightmare is over.
01:16:27Thanks to the oil field,
01:16:29everyone in the village can afford to eat and wear warm clothes.
01:16:34Dad plays with me every day.
01:16:37I feel like the happiest kid in the world.
01:16:41And my Grandma Ada, she no longer needs her mean disguise.
01:16:47She is now the most generous old lady in the whole village.
01:16:51Take a break if you're tired.
01:16:56Grandma Ada!
01:16:59Hi!
01:17:01Grandma Ada!
01:17:04Oh my!
01:17:05My little Leona looks so pretty today!
01:17:10Leona needs to go to school in the city.
01:17:12I'm taking her there myself.
01:17:14Dad, will the city people bully me?
01:17:17Don't worry.
01:17:18Dad will protect you.
01:17:20I am so incredibly happy now.
01:17:23All the misfortunes of the past are gone.
01:17:25I feel so blessed because I finally have a home that will never fall apart.
01:17:33I'm Leona, and I'm seven.
01:17:36The whole town of Oakhaven thinks I'm cursed.
01:17:39I haven't eaten all day.
01:17:42I just stared at the black bread in my aunt's hand.
01:17:53And she whipped me bloody with a thorny vine.
01:17:57What are you looking at?
01:17:59I gave you a soup last and you still steal food!
01:18:02You!
01:18:03Good for nothing leech!
01:18:06Aunt Grace slammed the heavy farm tool right onto me.
01:18:10Stop playing dead!
01:18:11If you don't finish before sunset, forget about dinner!
01:18:14My hands are covered in cuts, and the broken blisters sting interribly.
01:18:19But I have to work.
01:18:22Or I'll be thrown out into the wild.
01:18:25Under the scorching sun, I starved and dragged myself to the field.
01:18:30Passing villagers just pointed and whispered.
01:18:32They said Aunt Grace kept all my dad's military pension from the war.
01:18:35But they only pitied me in secret.
01:18:38No one dared to help.
01:18:39Look at the poor thing. Grace is an absolute monster.
01:18:43She spreads rumors that Leonae is the cursed child who brought the dust storms.
01:18:47Good lord, it breaks my heart.
01:18:50Just then, Mrs. Hannon showed up.
01:18:53She's the meanest, greediest woman in town.
01:18:56Oh, look at this!
01:18:58She just snatched people's seeds.
01:18:59Dirt in Oak Haven is growing its own seeds.
01:19:02Since you don't want them, I'll take them.
01:19:03Ada!
01:19:04You wicked hag!
01:19:05Stealing our seeds?
01:19:07Have you no shame?
01:19:08You dropped them them yourself, and now you're framing me?
01:19:12Mrs. Hannon raised her tool looking so fierce.
01:19:15She scared them away.
01:19:17Mrs. Hanson looked like a wicked witch.
01:19:19Everyone was scared of her.
01:19:21Back off! Don't even think about stealing my seeds!
01:19:23And so was I.
01:19:24I'm sorry, Mrs. Hanson.
01:19:26I'll move over there.
01:19:28But I couldn't run.
01:19:29I had to finish Aunt Grace's work.
01:19:34The sun felt like it was burning a hole in my head.
01:19:37I couldn't hold on anymore.
01:19:40Everything went black, and I crashed into the mud.
01:19:47Hey!
01:19:49You wretched girl!
01:19:53No.
01:19:54No!
