00:08Who's there?
00:09John, it's me. Let me in.
00:14I found you.
00:16John, there's no man in my family.
00:18The grain bag has been empty for a long time.
00:20My family has run out of food.
00:21I borrow some rye bread and smoked meat from you.
00:23It's cold, let you Haltons at night.
00:24I can repay you.
00:25Martha, just say what you need.
00:27No need for the distractions.
00:30Haven't I made myself clear enough and asking to borrow some food
00:32and I'll keep you company tonight?
00:35Isn't that better than you being stuck in this cold, lonely cave?
00:40Half a month ago, I was a modern-day office worker.
00:43I died from overwork at my desk.
00:46When I opened my eyes, I found myself inhabiting the boy named John.
00:57Oh, ungrateful little bastard.
00:59How dare you steal bread?
01:01Slap!
01:04Beat you to death, you bastard!
01:07Beaten half to death.
01:09Starved in the stable by my so-called parents.
01:12Cole, Mabel, Eli, Leela, this monster family would pay for it all.
01:15Father.
01:16Mother.
01:17Why?
01:18Why?
01:24This, this is the Holy Spring space, and there's fertile land and the Holy Spring in this era of cannibalistic
01:30famine.
01:30This is a lifesaver.
01:46This spring water is incredible.
01:49All the pain is gone, and even my nourished body is fully restored.
02:00Cole, Mabel, you two old fools.
02:03Are you trying to starve me to death?
02:07Nonsense!
02:08You deserve to be locked up for stealing food.
02:11It's no surprise you're starving to death.
02:13Shut up.
02:14Go get Sheriff and Tate.
02:15You little bastard.
02:16What do you think you're doing?
02:17I'm cutting all time.
02:18I want to completely sever the adoption.
02:19Let's make it official.
02:20From now on, life, death, sickness, and health.
02:23None of it concerns you.
02:26You're going too far.
02:28We raised you for 20 years.
02:30What right do you have to sever family ties?
02:32For the last five years, I've hunted in the mountains,
02:35panned gold in the river, and worked odd jobs in town.
02:37All the money I backed to this family.
02:38I ate scraps,
02:40drank your worn-out of soup,
02:41and slept in that filthy stable for five years.
02:44And you,
02:45you used the money I worked for
02:47to live in the main house,
02:48eat bread, and wear new clothes.
02:50Tell me, why don't I deserve to cut ties?
02:53Don't air our dirty laundry
02:56to the whole town.
02:59Do you want to be the laughingstock of the whole town?
03:03You did this,
03:03and now you're afraid of the town knowing?
03:05If I don't get them here today,
03:07I'll shout to the whole town
03:09and let everyone see how you've treated your son.
03:12Go now.
03:12Do you want him to bring the whole town here?
03:22Do you want the whole town to know
03:23about your family's problems?
03:26This is absolutely unfair.
03:28We raised an ungrateful brat.
03:30We worked so hard to raise him for 20 years,
03:33and now he wants to sever ties with us.
03:35Sheriff, please,
03:36you have to see reason.
03:37We punish him a little,
03:38and now he wants to sever family ties.
03:39He's trying to drive us to the brink.
03:42John, tell us what's really going on here.
03:45I picked up a piece of rye bread
03:47that fell on the ground,
03:47and for that they beat me senseless,
03:49locked me in the stable for a day and night
03:51with no food or water,
03:52almost starving me to death.
03:55You're lying.
03:56You refuse to eat,
03:58and now you're trying to drag us through the mud.
04:03Was it really me who refused to eat,
04:05or was you who wouldn't let me eat?
04:06These scars are the best evidence.
04:08Enough.
04:09I did all of this for your own good,
04:12to toughen you up.
04:13You made me sleep in the stable
04:15while you stayed in the main house.
04:16I almost got beaten to death
04:18for picking up a piece of bread,
04:19and you call that toughening me up?
04:20Why didn't you do the same to them?
04:22Mabel is what John says true.
04:23Well, this.
04:26Enough.
04:26John has made his decision.
04:28the Cole family does not deserve to keep them.
04:30Bob, write documents severing the family ties.
04:32From now on,
04:33John and the Cole family
04:34have no relationships and health.
04:35They're no longer connected.
04:41Look it over if everything's in order.
04:43Sign it.
04:46It's done.
04:49Fine, sign it then.
04:50Let me tell you this, John.
04:52Whatever happens to you from now on,
04:53and nothing could die to do with something.
04:55Even if they're a single grindwood
04:56from a piece of our house.
04:59Ungrateful bastard.
05:00Sooner or later,
05:00you'll starve to death out there,
05:01and when that happens,
05:02don't come begging us.
05:03I don't want anything extra from you.
05:05I'll just take what I'm owed.
05:06Enough to keep me alive for now.
05:08Ode.
05:08You ate my food,
05:09left my roof,
05:10and you think you're entitled to supplies.
05:11Not a chance.
05:12Is that so?
05:13Then I'll head straight to the town office
05:14and lay everything out.
05:15How you abused,
05:15withheld my earnings,
05:16locked me in the stable
05:17to starve me to death.
05:18Let's see how the town deals with you then.
05:19Cole, you've gone too far.
05:21Cutting ties worked hard
05:23for your family all these years.
05:24You should at least give them enough
05:25to take this matter to survive,
05:27otherwise we'll take turn
05:28of the town's arms, sir.
05:29Don't push these things far.
05:31Get them some food
05:31and basic tools, now.
05:33Get ready!
05:43That's all?
05:43Not a grain more.
05:45Let's see how long you last with that.
05:49From this moment on,
05:51I, John Sutton,
05:53have nothing to do
05:54with the Sutton family
05:56ever again.
05:57John, what are your plans now?
05:59I'll stay in the abandoned gold mine cave
06:01for now.
06:02With just that little,
06:04how's he supposed to survive?
06:06Living in an abandoned gold mine.
06:08That place is remote and freezing,
06:09and there are brown bears out there.
06:10That's a death sentence.
06:12Acting tough, are you?
06:13Give it three days,
06:14he'll come crawling back,
06:15freezing and starving,
06:16going to take him in.
06:17Exactly.
06:17Without the Sutton family,
06:19he's nothing.
06:20Let's just wait
06:21and watch him fail.
06:22A useless piece of trash like him,
06:24he'll probably get eaten
06:25by a brown bear
06:26before morning.
06:35Good thing I used to watch
06:36survival tutorials.
06:38I know how to make a longbow,
06:40otherwise hunting out here
06:41would be a nightmare.
06:51Looks like I've got meat tonight.
07:06My memory's getting sharper.
07:08Things I forgot are coming back.
07:09Even the space is expanding.
07:10Didn't expect planting wild crops
07:12would trigger something like this.
07:23Finally,
07:24a proper meal since I got here.
07:30It's been dry for nearly half a year.
07:32The crops are gone.
07:34It's only going to get worse.
07:35Tomorrow morning,
07:36we go check on him.
07:37Let him see what happens
07:38when he leaves the Sutton family.
07:40Exactly.
07:41Let's see how pathetic he looks.
07:43Knock that Arakon's out of him.
08:12John, look at you.
08:13You're wasting your time on this dump.
08:15You really think this hole,
08:16you must be starving out of your mind.
08:18Exactly.
08:18Get on your knees,
08:19beg us,
08:19and apologize in front of the whole town.
08:21Maybe, just maybe,
08:22we'll be generous enough
08:23to take you back.
08:25That curtain's hideous.
08:27And digging a ditch?
08:28What a waste.
08:29Without food,
08:30you'll be dead soon anyway.
08:32Get lost.
08:32You little bastard.
08:34How dare you talk back?
08:36Fine.
08:36Be stubborn.
08:38Let's see how many days you last in this cave.
08:40When you come crawling back,
08:41we won't take you in.
08:45Hope the traps I set yesterday caught something.
08:55That's a big one.
08:57Should fetch a good price.
09:10Too conspicuous to sell openly?
09:13I'll have to move this
09:14through the underground market in town.
09:25Fresh rabbit.
09:26You buying?
09:27Those skinny things.
09:28Not even enough for my own meal.
09:30Take them somewhere else.
09:31Didn't expect rabbit to be this unpopular.
09:34It's only folks with money to spare
09:35go for game meat.
09:36Might have set up my own style.
09:42Young man, I'll take the rabbits.
09:44Three silver coins.
09:45Deal.
09:46Three silver.
09:47That's way above market.
09:48This guy's important.
09:50If anyone can afford the boar,
09:52it's him.
09:55Mr. Harrison,
09:56I've got fresh pork here.
09:58Far better than rabbit.
10:00That's not how this works.
10:01You're cutting into my deal.
10:02Kid, what makes you think
10:03you're qualified to Mr. Business
10:05with Drew Harrison?
10:06That's your big play.
10:07I've got something better.
10:09Interested?
10:10Oh, let's hear it.
10:11Sir,
10:12what could he possibly have?
10:13Don't let him fool you.
10:14If I can produce better meat,
10:15what then?
10:17If you can,
10:19I'll give you ten pounds of pork for free.
10:22But if you can't,
10:25you crawl under my stirrup.
10:27You got the guts to take that bet.
10:30Deal.
10:31And Mr. Harrison can witness it.
10:33Works for me.
10:38Well, I'll be damned.
10:39Kid, you've been holding out on me.
10:43Ten pounds of pork.
10:45Don't tell me you're backing out now.
10:50You got lucky this time, kid.
10:52Next time,
10:53don't let me see you again.
10:58This boar's top quality.
11:00I'll give you the best price in town.
11:01One gold coin per pound.
11:03Fair?
11:04Listen,
11:04if you ever get more game like this,
11:06come straight to me.
11:09I've got another threat.
11:1130 pounds of boar.
11:12It's stashed elsewhere.
11:13You willing to take a walk?
11:15Just as I thought,
11:17he's holding back supply.
11:19I've been short on game lately.
11:20I need to stay on this kid's good side.
11:23No problems.
11:24However much you've got,
11:25I'll take it.
11:27I understand.
11:35Perfect.
11:36This is exactly what I needed.
11:38I'll pay one gold and three silver per pound
11:40for this batch.
11:41And I'll throw in vouchers worth 20 gold.
11:44Sound good?
11:45You're a man who does business right.
11:5120 pounds of rice,
11:52one pound of butter,
11:53a pack of coarse salt.
11:54Also a full set of cookware and utensils.
11:56Very good, sir.
12:05He really thinks he can settle down
12:07in that dump,
12:07total waste of effort.
12:09Wait, look,
12:09new bedding,
12:10new cookware.
12:11Where'd he get the money?
12:12Must have taken down something big
12:14and sold it at the black market.
12:15That's enough.
12:17Stop the gossip.
12:19The boy's been through enough already.
12:21Poor kid.
12:23He's had it rough.
12:29John's got a new wooden door,
12:31a thick wool blanket,
12:32and there's dried boar meat
12:33hanging all over his cave.
12:36Why?
12:37That useless bastard
12:38actually got his hands on boar meat.
12:42Why does he get to eat well
12:44while we're stuck chewing this garbage?
12:45I can't live like this.
12:46He won't be smug for long.
12:48The Badlands are crawling with wolves.
12:50Sooner or lorder,
12:51he'll die out there.
12:53Dad,
12:55I want some of that boar meat, too.
12:56He's hoarding it all.
12:58New pots,
12:59new bedding.
12:59We're stuck with rye bread
13:01while he's living better
13:02than the town's farmers.
13:03Dad,
13:04we can't just let this go.
13:06There's got to be more meat
13:07and money in that mine.
13:08No way we let him keep it all.
13:09Right.
13:10Let's call the uncles.
13:11Tonight we go get it.
13:12That brat's always been weak.
13:15We scare him a little,
13:16he'll hand everything over.
13:19Everyone's here good.
13:20That ungraciable brat
13:21stole what belonged to the Sutton family,
13:23boar meat that should be ours.
13:24And now we're stuck
13:25eating dry y bread every day.
13:27Tonight,
13:27we teach him a lesson.
13:29We take back every last piece of meat
13:30and every coin he's got.
13:32We raised him,
13:33fed him,
13:33and now he abandons us to starve.
13:36You all have to stand up for us.
13:38We're family.
13:39No way he gets to keep everything for himself.
13:41That's right.
13:42Tonight,
13:43we make him kneel and beg.
13:45Let's go now.
14:01That's right.
14:02Even if you sign that severance,
14:03the Sutton family raised you.
14:05Hand over all that boar meat right now
14:06or don't expect to walk out of this cave in one place.
14:08If you've got something good,
14:09you should share it with everyone.
14:11How can you live with yourself otherwise?
14:23I risked my life
14:24hunting in the Badlands for this meat.
14:26Since when did it become something
14:28I stole from the Suttons?
14:33This meat,
14:34it...
14:37It's...
14:39You've got the nerve about raising me.
14:43Just because I picked up half a stale rye crumb
14:45off the ground,
14:46you beat me half to death
14:48and locked me in the livestock shed,
14:49left me to starve.
14:51Where was your family then?
14:55I was doing it for your own good.
14:57I'm your father.
14:58I raised you for 20 years.
15:01How can you talk to me like that?
15:03So this meat?
15:04John hunted it himself.
15:06Didn't they say John stole it?
15:12This little bastard
15:13used to be meek as a mouse.
15:15Barely dared to speak up.
15:17Since when did he get this sharp-tongued?
15:20He's lying.
15:24Look at how weak he used to be.
15:26There's no way he could take down a wild boar.
15:29Don't fall for his lies.
15:31That meat belongs to the Sutton family.
15:34It should be ours.
15:37Lila's right.
15:38That meat has to be stolen.
15:40We're just here to take back
15:41what belongs to the Suttons.
15:47Eating hard rye bread every day.
15:50Drinking bland wild vegetable soup.
15:53Never tasted meat.
15:56If I could just get a bite of this,
15:58I'd do anything.
16:05No doubt about it.
16:07This meat belongs to the Suttons.
16:11This piece is mine.
16:14That's mine, everyone.
16:16Let go.
16:22You're asking for it.
16:37John, I raised you for 20 years
16:40and you hit me this hard
16:42over a piece of boar leg.
16:44I've already signed the adoption termination
16:46in front of Sutton the Sheriff.
16:49Fine, fine.
16:51Since you're determined
16:52to sever family ties,
16:53don't blame me for being ruthless.
17:05He, he broke Cole's finger
17:08with just a stone.
17:10This kid is merciless.
17:17He's going to kill us.
17:19This ungrateful bastard
17:20is trying to beat us to death.
17:23Someone from the family
17:24must stop him.
17:29Get lost.
17:43Put the meat down.
17:53John, don't go too far
17:54even if you killed for this meat.
17:56What's the big deal?
17:57Can't you share it with us?
17:59At least show some family loyalty.
18:01Don't force us into a life
18:03or death fight with you.
18:05There's no loyalty
18:07between me and trash like you.
18:10You.
18:11You.
18:12You.
18:33This coward from before,
18:35how did he suddenly get so strong?
18:37John, kid,
18:39we were foolish.
18:40Shouldn't have accused you
18:41in a moment of madness.
18:43Even if the adoption papers cut ties,
18:46there's still some family bond.
18:50Could you maybe share
18:51a little meat with us?
18:52John, I know it was wrong of us before.
18:54We shouldn't have treated you so harshly.
18:56Yes, John.
18:57There's no grudge that can't be undone.
18:58Don't take it to heart.
19:05Don't talk to me about family bonds.
19:07When you locked me in the barn
19:09and tried to starve me to death,
19:13where was your loyalty then?
19:15You've already admitted we were wrong.
19:17Can't you show some generosity, kid?
19:22Generosity.
19:24Fine, then I'll be generous.
19:26Once.
19:30John really knows what's right.
19:33Such a generous heart.
19:36Exactly.
19:38This kid's been kind since childhood.
19:41He wouldn't really quarrel with us elders.
19:44That's right.
19:44I knew he still remembered family bonds.
19:47John, I knew you wouldn't be truly angry with us.
19:52You always cared for me the most.
19:55I did say I'd be generous.
19:57But not generous with meat.
20:00You barged into my home,
20:02stole my things,
20:03and smashed my door.
20:07I can give you a discount for those damages.
20:16You...
20:17What do you mean?
20:21Either hand over all the coins
20:22and trade vouchers you have
20:24and fix my door properly.
20:26Then we'll call this even.
20:29Or today,
20:30I break your legs
20:31and throw you into the wildlands
20:32to feed the wolves.
20:34Don't scare us.
20:35There's so many of us.
20:37Do you really dare to act?
20:44You want to test if I'm joking?
20:49Go ahead.
20:50John, I'm wrong.
20:52We'll never do it again.
20:54We'll give it all.
20:56Everything.
21:00Crazy.
21:02This John
21:02is absolutely insane.
21:05It's my fault.
21:07I shouldn't have brought people
21:08here.
21:11We'll give them money.
21:13Please don't act rashly.
21:23Get out tomorrow morning.
21:25Bring proper wood and tools
21:27to fix my door.
21:29Yes.
21:30Yes.
21:31We'll do it.
21:32We'll definitely do it.
21:34Not much altogether.
21:37Just a little interest collected.
21:40First thing tomorrow,
21:42I'll head deeper into the wildlands,
21:43hunt bigger game.
21:45Also hit the underground black market
21:46to trade with Harrison
21:47for more supplies than gold.
22:04Martha,
22:05what are you doing here?
22:06John, I heard you've completely
22:07cut ties with the Suttons.
22:08You must be running low on food.
22:09I saved two pieces of rye bread
22:11and a small piece of butter.
22:12I mean, keep your strengths up.
22:13Even in this Ruth Witterness,
22:15someone truly cares about me.
22:16It feels so good.
22:21I was locked in the Sutton barn
22:23for a full day and night.
22:24No food,
22:25no water,
22:26not even a sip of clean water.
22:28John,
22:29eat quickly.
22:30Don't let Cole see.
22:31She suffered gossip and trouble
22:33from the townsfolk
22:34just for helping me.
22:35If it weren't for her,
22:36I wouldn't have made it this far.
22:38I don't lack food now.
22:39Keep these for yourself.
22:41Keep your strength up.
22:45And take this wild boar meat
22:47home with you too.
22:50I've got enough rye bread
22:52and coarse grahns at home.
22:54John,
22:54the wild lands are too dangerous.
22:56Full of brown bears and wolves.
22:59Don't risk your life
23:00hunting like this again.
23:02Why are you still being polite with me?
23:04John,
23:05he actually touched my hand.
23:06His hand,
23:06it's so warm,
23:07so strong.
23:11By the way,
23:12how is your mother doing?
23:13Her illness is getting worse.
23:14She can't even get out of bed now.
23:16Her life is so hard
23:17and she still worries about me.
23:20The sacred spring water
23:20can heal injuries
23:21and strengthen the body.
23:22Maybe it can help too.
23:23Tomorrow,
23:24I'll come see your mother.
23:25I'll figure out a way to treat her.
23:27John,
23:27even the town's physicians
23:28have given up on her.
23:29I know your intentions.
23:30Don't waste your money on me.
23:31You've got your own life to manage.
23:33There are plenty of wild herbs
23:34in the forest.
23:36They might help.
23:38Wait for me.
23:40But,
23:40the forest is full of wolves.
23:43I'm afraid something
23:44will happen to you.
23:45Relax.
23:46I know this forest
23:47like the back of my hand.
23:48Nothing will happen.
23:51John,
23:52be careful in the forest.
23:54I'll wait for your return.
23:56I'll come back.
24:11Bad luck.
24:12I ran straight into the pack.
24:15First thing,
24:16take down the alpha wolf.
24:17Take out the alpha first.
24:19By the gods.
24:20You actually hunted
24:21this black alpha wolf
24:22in the wild lands.
24:23That beast's vicious.
24:24Several seasoned hunters
24:25have fallen to it before.
24:26You've got some serious
24:27skill, kid.
24:36It's really the alpha wolf.
24:38That tooth and pelt alone
24:39are worth a fortune.
24:40Enough to cover
24:41an ordinary household's
24:42expenses for money.
24:45This guy's incredible.
24:47He actually dared
24:48to take down
24:49the alpha wolf
24:50all alone.
24:51Just lucky, I get it.
24:53Lucky, I'll give you
24:54the town's top price.
24:55Two silver coins
24:56per pound of wolf meat.
24:5750 gold coins
24:58for the 20 gold
24:58universal trade voucher.
24:59How's that sound?
25:01Harrison,
25:02you're quick
25:02and straightforward.
25:04Deal.
25:10Dude, you've got real talent.
25:12Tell me,
25:13would you dare
25:13to hunt a grizzly?
25:15Harrison,
25:16what exactly
25:17do you mean?
25:18The town's large
25:19farm owner
25:19wants a full-grown
25:21grizzly pelt.
25:22If you pull this off,
25:23you get in good
25:24with a sand town
25:25with a big shot.
25:26Nothing would be
25:26impossible for you
25:27after that.
25:28A grizzly's
25:29far too dangerous.
25:30With the sacred
25:31spring space,
25:31I can take it slow.
25:32Go take it steadily.
25:33No need to take
25:34that risk yet.
25:39Grizzlies are no joke.
25:41I'll have to think it over.
25:45Alright,
25:46in three days,
25:47the farm owner's team
25:47heads into the wildlands.
25:49If you're interested,
25:49come find me
25:50at the town's
25:50supply store anytime.
26:06John,
26:06you're here!
26:08I made this by hand.
26:10See if you like it.
26:11This is for me?
26:13Of course.
26:14Let me put it on you.
26:17John,
26:17does it look good on me?
26:18Beautiful.
26:19You're like Venus
26:20from the myths yourself.
26:30sweeter.
26:34Oh,
26:57I'll be surprised
26:58Photos,
26:58I'll be surprised
26:58because she Vidan
27:10Tommy, don't touch.
27:15John, you've been living in the mine cave all this time, and that's already been all this valuable stuff here.
27:27Ma'am, a few days ago in the mountains, I happened to find some well-aged wild herbs.
27:32I brewed them into a pot of medicine myself. Try it. Maybe it can ease some of your pain.
27:37Oh, that's too much trouble. I've had this illness for so long, even the town doctors can't help.
27:44Continuing medication just adds burden to the kids. It might be better to meet the Lord sooner.
27:53Mom, John took the trouble to brew this. You should try it. You won't know if it works unless you
27:59give it a chance.
28:00This medicine probably won't cure anything, but John made it with so much effort. I can't let him be disappointed.
28:18I can walk. I really can get out of bed. This medicine, it's miraculous. I'm healed.
28:25John, thank you. Really, thank you.
28:33Child, you've saved our whole family. We will be forever grateful.
28:44John, what brings you here?
28:46I'm here to file for an independent household record.
28:51Completely separating myself from the Sutton family roster and registering as a stand-on household.
28:59The whole town knows for you've severed ties with the Suttons.
29:06Filing for an independent household is appropriate. I'll get the paperwork done.
29:16The paperwork's complete.
29:18Now that you're registered as an independent head of household, you'll probably need some proper farming tools.
29:23Go to the warehouse, you'll issue a basic set.
29:26If you'd like, you can vote for Mr. Hyatt.
29:28Here's your registration.
29:30Thank you, sir.
29:34It's all there.
29:39High quality wheat seeds in these famine years and food is gold.
29:44Getting intact seeds is harder than reaching the sky.
29:47These are small, but with holy spring water. They might grow into high-yield wheat.
29:56Jake, I'll take this set.
30:02Got it. You're all rested. Work hard.
30:08Time to work. Move it, everyone.
30:10Today we're weeding and maintaining the wheat field.
30:17Since leaving the Suttons, John's been really hard working.
30:20He works faster than any of us seasoned hands.
30:22No kidding. Back at the Suttons, they worked in skin and bone. Now look at him. He's completely changed, full
30:26of energy.
30:27This kid is efficient, all right?
30:30In just this short time, he's done what would take you a full day.
30:39That little brat is a nerve.
30:42Exactly 20 years of feeding him, and he grows into this heartless little wolf.
30:47Meanwhile, we choke down this stale black bread while he hides away in his mine, feasting on fresh wild boar
30:54every day.
30:55Dad, and he's got all that dried wild boar hanging in his cave.
30:58Just thinking about it makes me sick.
31:00Hmm. This isn't over. I've got a plan. One that'll rot him in jail for life.
31:08Got any ideas? Spit it out.
31:11Whatever it takes to stop that little brat, we'll do it.
31:14According to the temporary municipic regulations of Sandstone Town, anyone hunting large game must pay 10% of the meat
31:21John's wild boar's public reserve kills, all sold secretly in the undergrowth market.
31:25He never paid the town taxes. If Sheriff Bob finds out.
31:29You mean Bob hates rule breakers like this?
31:33We spread the news tonight. Make the whole town aware.
31:37Brilliant idea. Absolutely brilliant.
31:41Let's see how that little brat enjoys himself now.
31:45Yes, let Bob haul him in, seize all his meat, lock him in the town jail, let him feel what
31:49it's like to go hungry.
31:51That's the plan. Tonight, spread the word to the tavern.
31:55Tomorrow morning, I'm heading to the town hall to find my Bob. Let's see how he sighs without meat and
32:00money in that mind.
32:03What are you doing here?
32:06John, it's bad.
32:07What's going on?
32:08The Suttons have spread rumors all over town about your hunting trips, the meat you've hidden, and your secret trades
32:13at the underground market.
32:14You better get ready.
32:16I knew the Suttons wouldn't let this go. Good thing I stored all the valuable supplies from the cave in
32:21the spring space.
32:22But there's no way to completely cover my tracks. As long as I keep hunting my sewer for loader, they'll
32:27finally get it.
32:29John, don't worry. If it comes to it, I can explain to the town's film.
32:34It's fine. I've got it under control.
32:37Thanks for coming all this way to warn me.
32:39I'll head back first. You keep an eye on the Suttons.
32:47Harrison runs the town's supplies. Even the farmers he deals with have to schmooze him.
32:51If I can build that connection, the Suttons won't dare touch me.
32:54Tomorrow, after finishing the farm work, I'll go see Harrison.
33:07Heard you went into the Deadlands a few days back. Bagged plenty of games.
33:12Life must be pretty comfy for you.
33:15Not at all.
33:16The forest full of wolves is far too dangerous, so there's no food to rip my skin.
33:23Really? Then how come people say your mind is full of hang-and-dried wild boar meat?
33:29Rumors and gossip, Jake.
33:31You really believe every word?
33:43John, the Suttons report you've been hunting ins without permission and out a large amount of games. Is this true?
33:48Sheriff, it's more than just hoarding. His cave walls are covered with wild boar and wolf meat.
33:55Our family gnaws on hard black bread.
33:59He's pulled up in that cave, living it up every day.
34:03Exactly, Sheriff. In these famine years, everyone's tightening their belts.
34:08And he goes and breaks the town hunting laws, hunts illegally, trades in the underground market, completely ignoring the law.
34:15I saw it with my own eyes. His cave has new iron pots, thick wool blankets, all probably exchanged for
34:22wild boar meat.
34:24I saw it, too. There's dried meat hanging at his cave entrance.
34:28Anything herded in violation of the laws must be confiscated.
34:32Townsfolk, you all know how weak I used to be.
34:34At Suttons, I was starved and abused. How could I have the strength to hunt in the wild, and let
34:38alone wild boars or wolves?
34:40This is clearly the Suttons holding a grudge because I severed ties with them. They're deliberately slanding.
34:45Spare the excuses. If it's slander, let's go search your cave and see.
34:49Go ahead and search as you want. But if you don't find any so-called hoarded game, then you're publicly
34:54defaming me.
34:56And when that happens, you'll apologize to me in front of the whole town.
34:59Search all you want. With all that meat, I don't believe it won't be there.
35:03Forget apologies. I'll even kneel before you if I have to.
35:06Enough. Since you insist on a search, I'll personally lead it.
35:09But if nothing illegal is found, Cole, your family must formally apologize to John in front of the entire town.
35:16Sheriff Townsfolk, go ahead and search.
35:19If you find even a single piece of game I hunted without a permit, I'll gladly surrender everything and accept
35:26the town's punishment.
35:30Impossible. How could there be nothing? We saw it ourselves. There was so much wild boar mate in there.
35:36Where's the meat? Where did all the wild boar meat go?
35:41I knew it. John was starved to skin and bones at the Sutton's.
35:46How could he have the strength to hunt wild boars in the mountains?
35:50I guess I must have misjudged him before.
35:53Sheriff, if you saw it with your own eyes, there's no hoarded game.
35:56The Sutton's are just holding a grudge because I severed ties with them.
35:59They deliberately slandered me in front of everyone, trying to ruin my reputation and make me infamous in Sandstone Town.
36:04Following the town regulations.
36:06A search is necessary to give everyone a proper explanation.
36:09Don't take it personally. Cole, your family, apologize to John immediately.
36:14There's something moving, a sound from under the bed. The meat has to be under there.
36:21Don't touch it. There's no meat under the bed.
36:26You're just nervous. If there's no meat, I'll accept any punishment.
36:30If there really isn't any, what then?
36:32If there is no meat, I'll work at your farm for free for one month.
36:36But you'll work for me for a month.
36:37Do you dare take that bet?
36:40That's risky. A month of work isn't a small matter.
36:43John's hesitating. He must be afraid. There's definitely meat under there.
36:46This time, I'll make him serve the Sutton's as a laborer.
36:49One month. Too little. I bet three months.
36:51If there's no meat, I'll work for you free for three months.
36:55Right. I don't believe this ungrateful brat didn't hide any meat.
36:59Three months of free labor? Well, I'll save some working time anyway.
37:02Might not be so bad.
37:04All right. Since you insist on searching, I won't stop you.
37:06But if you find nothing, remember, the three months of work are backing out.
37:09Of course we won't back out. But you, three months of labor is in light.
37:13Don't overwork yourself.
37:28It's a dog.
37:30How could it be a dog?
37:35Three months of free labor wasted. Looks like the Sutton's are going to break their backs.
37:38I heard they even took out a loan from Breakthrough the Bank.
37:40If they can't pay it back, they might even lose a raise for 20 years.
37:44Cole, see that clearly.
37:47Now, do you still have anything to say?
37:57John, you set me up on purpose, didn't you?
37:59You proposed the bet yourself.
38:01You made the promise in front of the whole town.
38:03Lose?
38:04Word spoken in front of the town's elders.
38:06You think you can cheat?
38:07The Sutton's reputation is completely ruined.
38:10John, even though we cut off blood ties, we did raise you for 20 years.
38:15Let this bet go.
38:16No way your older brother should really make you work for free.
38:19That's right, John.
38:21They say family matters.
38:23You wouldn't want all of us left homeless and starving, would you?
38:27Back when you locked me in the livestock shed,
38:30trying to starve me to death,
38:33did you ever think I was still your son?
38:36I, I, I...
38:37John, you're going too far.
38:38It's just a little thing.
38:40Does it have to leave no room for mercy?
38:42Too far.
38:42You nearly ruined my reputation.
38:44You call that a little thing.
38:45You call that understand the pain because it never happened to you.
38:50Anyway, cancel the bet or I'll never acknowledge you as my brother again.
38:53What, brother?
38:54We long ago signed a document severing family ties in front of the sheriff.
38:57So we're no longer family.
38:58Either admit defeat and accept the bet,
39:00or I'll go to the town hall right now for malicious slander and provoking trouble.
39:03Let's have a good talk in front of the mayor.
39:05You choose.
39:06Back at the Sutton's, John obeyed me in everything.
39:08Now, how can he be so heartless?
39:10Everyone in town witnessed this.
39:13Sutton's, don't even think about cheating publicly.
39:18Worthless fool.
39:19You dug your own grave with that mouth.
39:21Don't forget,
39:22the bet also says you must kneel on one knee in front of everyone and apologize publicly.
39:28Fine.
39:33I'm sorry.
39:35This little brat's getting harder to deal with.
39:37This can't end here.
39:39I'll make him pay eventually and reclaim today's lost face.
39:43Dare to set a trap for our Sutton's.
39:45So wait.
39:46Sooner or later, you'll be begging to crawl back to our house.
39:50All right, that settles it.
39:52From now on,
39:53anyone who slandles or stirs trouble without evidence
39:55will not be spared by the town.
39:59Come in.
40:01John, a rare visitor.
40:03What brings you here today?
40:03Changed your mind about teaming up with us for the hunt?
40:05Yeah, I've changed my mind.
40:08That's great.
40:09I'll take you straight to meet Farmer Hal.
40:11You have no idea.
40:13The grown grizzly that's been terrorizing the forest has already injured several hunters and paiers.
40:18The farm's offering a hefty reward.
40:20We must take this beast down.
40:28Mr. Hall, here's the man I mentioned.
40:31This is John.
40:32Unrivaled in hunting skill across Sandstown.
40:42Supervisor Harrison, you're joking, right?
40:46That scrappy kid with a wooden bow dares to hunt the grizzly.
40:49Sir, we're all veteran hunters with over a decade of blood and steel experience.
40:55Bringing this greenhorn in the forest is pure liability.
40:58If anything happens, who's responsible?
41:00He should be kicked out.
41:02Brother Carter, don't underestimate John.
41:04That infamous Blackford Wolf King in the forest, he killed himself.
41:07The guy's skills are top notch.
41:08He killed a Wolf King.
41:09Big tack.
41:11I'm a grown grizzly here, a hundred times than wolves.
41:14That punny frame is more dangerous.
41:15This won't last a minute.
41:17All right.
41:18If he's truly skilled, the mountain will reveal it.
41:22Fine, he can stay.
41:24But if he drags us down in the forest, I'll be the first to toss him to the bears.
41:40Stop!
