Short filmTranscript
00:00:01I'm Leonie, and I'm seven. The whole town of Oakhaven thinks I'm cursed. I haven't eaten all day. I just
00:00:11stared at the black bread in my aunt's hand, and she whipped me bloody with a thorny vine.
00:00:26What are you looking at? I gave you a soup last, and you still steal food! You! Good-for-nothing
00:00:32leech!
00:00:34Aunt Grace slammed the heavy farm tool right onto me. Stop playing dead! If you don't finish before sunset, forget
00:00:41about dinner!
00:00:42My hands are covered in cuts, and the broken blisters sting interribly. But I have to work, or I'll be
00:00:50thrown out into the wild.
00:00:53Under the scorching sun, I starved and dragged myself to the field. Passing villagers just pointed and whispered.
00:01:00They said Aunt Grace kept all my dad's military pension from the war, but they only pitied me in secret.
00:01:06No one dared to help.
00:01:07Look at the poor thing. Grace is an absolute monster. She spreads rumors that Leonie is the cursed child who
00:01:14brought the dust storms. Good lord, it breaks my heart.
00:01:18Just then, Mrs. Hannon showed up. She's the meanest, greediest woman in town.
00:01:24Oh, look at this! She just snatched people's seeds.
00:01:27Dirt in Oak Haven is growing its own seeds! Since you don't want them, I'll take them.
00:01:31Ada! You wicked hag! Stealing our seeds? Have you no shame?
00:01:36You dropped them them yourself, and now you're framing me?
00:01:40Mrs. Hannon raised her tool looking so fierce. She scared them away.
00:01:45Mrs. Hanson looked like a wicked witch. Everyone was scared of her.
00:01:49Back off! Don't even think about stealing my seeds!
00:01:51And so was I.
00:01:52I'm sorry, Mrs. Hanson. I'll move over there.
00:01:56But I couldn't run. I had to finish Aunt Grace's work.
00:02:02The sun felt like it was burning a hole in my head. I couldn't hold on anymore.
00:02:08Everything went black, and I crashed into the mud.
00:02:16Hey! You wretched girl!
00:02:29Cold water trickled down my cracked lips. I thought I'd die in that dry mud.
00:02:35But the one who saved me was the meanest, scariest woman in town, Mrs. Hanson.
00:02:49Oh...
00:02:53Oh...
00:02:59Oh...
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.
00:04:28Mrs. Hanson and Miss Martha stormed out in a rage.
00:04:32But right as she crossed the threshold,
00:04:35Mrs. 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.
00:04:43My God, Leonenny!
00:04:46Why are you covered in blood out here?
00:04:51Since I didn't finish the work, my aunt whipped me bloody and threw me out.
00:04:56Turns out, under all that yelling, Mrs. 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, you 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!
00:05:31Miss Martha let me stay?
00:05:33Is this real?
00:05:34No!
00:05:35I don't agree!
00:05:36Get out!
00:05:37But Miss Ella called me a freeloaner.
00:05:40Grabbed me by the neck and tried to throw me out to the wolves.
00:05:43It hurts!
00:05:44Mrs. Hanson, help me!
00:05:47Please don't throw me out!
00:05:49I'll do anything!
00:05:50I struggled in despair, wanting so badly to live.
00:05:53Right then, a massive 200-pound wild boar charged like crazy
00:05:58and smashed itself to death against the courtyard wall.
00:06:06Because of the famine, everyone in town only ever ate hard black bread.
00:06:11But tonight we had delicious roast pork.
00:06:14Sweet 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, but 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.
00:07:02But 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,
00:07:21I see Aunt Grace throwing all my things out.
00:07:23She's kicking me out right in front of all the neighbors.
00:07:25Flash out!
00:07:26Don't bring bad luck into our house!
00:07:29She says my dad is dead and the military won't send any more subsidies.
00:07:41Auntie, please don't kick me out.
00:07:44I'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.
00:08:24Shh.
00:08:24Shh.
00:08:24Shh.
00:08:24Shh.
00:08:25Shh.
00:08:26Shh.
00:08:26Shh.
00:08:26Shh.
00:08:27Shh.
00:08:29Shh.
00:08:29Shh.
00:08:29Shh.
00:08:29Shh.
00:08:30Shh.
00:08:30Shh.
00:08:31Shh.
00:08:32Shh.
00:08:37Shh.
00:08:37Get this dead man's trash and go straight to hell!
00:08:45Dad!
00:08:47Even with the glass cutting my fingers and 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.
00:09:13The 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, but looking at my mangled hands, Mr. Carter painfully closes his eyes.
00:09:35In that moment, the last bit of hope in my heart completely dies.
00:09:41Dad really isn't coming back.
00:09:46Leon is the child of a hero!
00:09:48How 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 just guiltily hides behind his wife, not even daring to look at me.
00:10:08My wife is right.
00:10:10We have a son to raise too.
00:10:13Mr. Carter takes off his hat and humbly begs the villagers to each chip in a little food to raise
00:10:18me together.
00:10:19But those neighbors, who once received favors from my dad, all make excuses about having no extra food.
00:10:27They even suggest sending me to the workhouse in the city.
00:10:31In that moment, I feel like a dirty rag tossed away by the world.
00:10:36With red eyes, Mr. Carter drags me toward his carriage.
00:10:40I click frantically, digging my nails deep into the dirt, my face covered in blood and tears.
00:10:46No! I don't want to go to the workhouse!
00:10:48I 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, I see a skinny but determined figure burst through the
00:10:59crowd.
00:11:00It's Miss Martha.
00:11:01Enough!
00:11:03Nobody is taking her away!
00:11:04I'm going to adopt Leonie!
00:11:06She snatches me back, ignoring everything else, and 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 and says the workhouse will feed me, I still grip Miss Martha's clothes tightly.
00:11:29She's the last bit of light I can hold onto.
00:11:34Miss Martha, I'll be good. I'll eat less and work more from now on.
00:11:40I promise to treat Leonie like my own child. As long as I have a bite to eat, she won't
00:11:45starve.
00:11:46How bizarre. Someone actually wants to raise this jinx.
00:11:50Martha, I suggest you prepare a coffin for your sick husband first.
00:11:53Right then, Miss Ella, heavily pregnant, suddenly stormed out.
00:11:58Martha! Are 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, your 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 rats!
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, a crisp slap echoes out and the whole yard falls dead silent.
00:12:42You idiot! Don't think being pregnant makes you untouchable.
00:12:46How dare you come out here spewing lies!
00:12:49Now, get your ass back home now!
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!
00:13:08Mrs. Hanson's words hit like a bombshell.
00:13:10She's actually taking me.
00:13:12Turns out, even in this freezing world, someone is willing to face the backlash for a jinx like me.
00:13:19Ada, you'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, it was crickets.
00:13:37Now I step up, and 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, hungry, and working your fingers to the bone.
00:13:51Can you handle that?
00:13:53I can!
00:13:54I'll wash clothes, gather wood, and take care of Mr. Arthur.
00:13:58When I'm older, I swear I'll make it up to you!
00:14:01Alright, then.
00:14:02From now on, I'm your grandma, and Martha is your mom.
00:14:09Grandma...
00:14:12Mom...
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, or 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 to cut all ties right here.
00:14:58From this moment on, Leon has nothing to do with you two animals.
00:15:02Dead or alive, we 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, she trips over nothing.
00:15:20The flour she traded me for is completely blown away by the wind.
00:15:49See that?
00:15:50God is watching!
00:15:52Leonie, let's go home!
00:15:54For the first time, the cramped cabin feels warm from the fire.
00:15:59Mrs. Hanson curses the whole time, calling the thick wool blanket Miss Martha spent three
00:16:04months knitting a piece of junk, but she tossed 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, and don't get my floor dirty!
00:16:17Grandma Ada calls that beautiful wool blanket junk, but she has sick Mr. Arthur tuck me in
00:16:23with it.
00:16:24In this moment, I 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, he'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, go sell my wool coat.
00:16:58Use the money to build up her strength.
00:17:01To buy me meat.
00:17:02Dad even wants to sell his winter coat.
00:17:05Grandma slams the table and stops him, because without it, Dad won't survive the winter.
00:17:10Mom cries and says the doctor told them a natural hot spring could turn Dad's health around.
00:17:15But in Oak Haven, where it hasn't rained in three years, that'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 for Dad's health.
00:17:32I run to the back hill, wanting to do more chores for the family.
00:17:37With a loud pop, I easily pull a deep-rooted stump right out of the ground.
00:17:42Then, a blast of hot, wet steam shoots into the sky like a giant dragon.
00:17:50Grandma!
00:17:50Mom!
00:17:51Come out quick!
00:17:52I broke the ground!
00:17:56Hearing my scream, Grandma Ad rushes over first.
00:17:59I think I broke the earth and caused a huge disaster.
00:18:04But when she touches the boiling water with trembling hands, she laughs and cries like a kid.
00:18:11It's hot!
00:18:12The water is hot!
00:18:13It's a natural hot spring!
00:18:22It's hot spring!
00:18:23The water is hot spring.
00:18:36It's a hot spring!
00:18:39It's a real hot spring.
00:18:41Arthur, my son...
00:18:44The doctor said a hot spring could save your lungs. You're saved.
00:18:49Mom hugs me tight and kisses my face in excitement.
00:18:52She says I'm an angel sent by God.
00:18:55It turns out I'm not unwanted trash.
00:18:57I can be someone's salvation too.
00:19:01But when I happily return to the yard, I'm greeted by two icy faces.
00:19:07Miss Ella and Aunt Grace are whispering together.
00:19:10Their glares pierce my heart like poisoned swords.
00:19:14What rotten luck. We're already too poor to eat and now we have to share food with her.
00:19:19Ella, I'm telling you, stay away from them. That Leone brings nothing but bad luck.
00:19:30But remembering Bad spent all his money on medicine.
00:19:34I can't bear to see this family tear itself apart over me.
00:19:38Miss Ella, please don't be mad. I won't fight for anything.
00:19:43I'll help take care of the baby and I won't eat the good food.
00:19:49Liar! Are you going to let her pass her bad luck to your son?
00:19:53Her curse will kill your son!
00:19:56Pete!
00:20:03Get lost! Don't touch me with your dirty hands!
00:20:16Aunt Grace screams that I'm a monster who kills families, pushing Miss Ella to attack me.
00:20:23Just as I try to beg again, Ella winds up and slaps me hard across the face.
00:20:32My face burns like it's on fire, but I don't cry.
00:20:37Grandma Ada told me if I'm bullied and oppressed, I have to fight back.
00:20:42Leone, you are a child of this house.
00:20:45When you get bullied, you fight back.
00:20:47Grandma helps me raise my hand and aim at Aunt Grace, who's waiting for a laugh.
00:20:52The stone hits her shoulder dead on.
00:20:55Ouch! My shoulder's hurt! Help!
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 scurrying around.
00:21:07Grandma Ada is like a massive tree shielding me from the storm.
00:21:12She publicly announces she's cutting ties with Miss Ella.
00:21:15Leone is my chosen granddaughter! She's no jinx!
00:21:18Mother! Your real grandson is right here. Arthur is a cripple, and Martha can't have kids.
00:21:23If you insist on keeping this jinx, we're cutting ties.
00:21:27Fine, I agree.
00:21:28Mom and Dad pull Grandma's sleeves, begging her not to act rashly.
00:21:33But she firmly refuses.
00:21:35As long as this toxic woman, Ella, is around, our family will never have a normal life!
00:21:42I'm kicking this wicked woman out today!
00:21:45Cutting ties is no big deal.
00:21:48But get the best house and the biggest part of the farm!
00:21:52Done!
00:21:54You can have it!
00:21:56Just get out of my sight!
00:21:59Ella, 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 to you and your baby?
00:22:11Don't forget, her 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 as the roar of an engine for the steel monster
00:22:56shatters the silence of the wasteland and traces baffles of the house.
00:23:00The car door opens and 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 gives me the answer.
00:23:10Dad!
00:23:19The majestic maid decorated with metals gives me a solemn salute.
00:23:25I thought God heard my prayers and brought Dad back.
00:23:29But that cold purple heart tells me I'll never feel his hug again.
00:23:40Captain Leo protected our country with his life.
00:23:43This honor belongs to him.
00:23:45And to his only daughter, Leonie.
00:23:47The major pulls out a thick paper bag.
00:23:50Inside is $5,000 from my dad's military pension.
00:23:55I don't know how much that is,
00:23:57but I hear the adults saying it could buy a mountain of bread covered in sugar and jam.
00:24:03Aunt Grace and Uncle Thomas pop 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 and try to drag me home.
00:24:12Uncle Thomas grips my arm like an iron fist.
00:24:15I know he doesn't want me.
00:24:17He wants that blood money.
00:24:20Grandma Ada acts like a lioness protecting her cub and rips up my sleeve.
00:24:25Those rotting frostbites and bruises look so layering in the sunlight.
00:24:29Look, sir, living with these two heartless scumbags,
00:24:33Leonie starves, freezes, 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 like an animal?
00:24:52Aunt Grace is still lying.
00:24:54She points at my bloody wounds and lies with a straight face that I fell while playing.
00:24:58But I see the neighbors shaking their heads.
00:25:00They all know it's not true.
00:25:03Bullshit!
00:25:04I saw you buy new leather boots in the city with the military pay
00:25:07while you made this poor kid gnaw on spoiled potato peels in the snow.
00:25:10Yeah!
00:25:11She even lost a 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 and orders their arrest.
00:25:21Uncle Thomas is taken away,
00:25:23but Aunt Grace avoids arrest because 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 really does come to this desolate look.
00:25:40I 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,
00:25:48and her stare at that pile of cash
00:25:49is even scarier than Aunt Grace's.
00:25:53I'm carrying the only air 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,
00:26:15we live our own lives.
00:26:17Get out of my house!
00:26:18For 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 in an iron box under the bed.
00:26:39She tells me that money could 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 come 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 in 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
00:28:33look like pretty flowers.
00:28:35If good luck is real,
00:28:37I want to give it all to the people
00:28:39who treat me well.
00:28:43But this is just the beginning.
00:28:45I actually dig up some lumpy white roots
00:28:48from the dirt
00:28:49that 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,
00:29:11mind-blowing smell in the heat.
00:29:14Even bed-rown Papa Arthur
00:29:16can'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
00:29:36it 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,
00:29:55no one can bully 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
00:30:05I've ever had a full stomach.
00:30:07I don't have to shiver
00:30:08in a freezing haystack,
00:30:09and no one is pulling my hair.
00:30:12I 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 breathe 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
00:30:52can't hide how 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
00:31:02are called white gold
00:31:03on the tables of rich city folks.
00:31:06And then she started begging her cousin Mark.
00:31:10She kept pulling on his sleeve
00:31:12and crying.
00:31:13I'm sorry.
00:31:15She wanted Mark Uncle
00:31:16to get Thomas out of jail.
00:31:25Mark is impatiently trying to push her away.
00:31:28Then he notices us in the corner.
00:31:33A Aunt Grace blames me
00:31:35for all her tragedies.
00:31:39Leone!
00:31:41You're the reason my life is ruined!
00:31:47Aunt Grace's face
00:31:48is uglier than dead bark
00:31:50in the Blackwood Forest.
00:31:52For the $5,000
00:31:53she 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.
00:33:06He 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 Oak Haven for good!
00:33:17To protect my life-saving money,
00:33:19Mom 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.
00:33:33I 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 top-grade 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,
00:35:11natural amethyst geob.
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.
00:35:26Seeing 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.
00:35:47Mom'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,
00:36:18this child is absolutely a reincarnated angel.
00:36:22Only someone blessed by God
00:36:24could have such unbelievable luck.
00:36:26Mr. Sterling,
00:36:27I think we have an obligation
00:36:28to help this child
00:36:29get 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.
00:36:42That's an astrosnomical price.
00:36:44Enough 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.
00:37:32I asked who he was.
00:37:33She said it was nothing,
00:37:34just someone who used to live with.
00:37:35The old roof shakes.
00:37:36The 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 with 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 rains 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,
00:38:55but 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,
00:39:20scraping 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.
00:39:46Grandma 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 through the window
00:40:00at 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.
00:40:32Aunt 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 gleam scarier
00:40:43than the demons.
00:40:45A locked box!
00:40:46The money must be inside!
00:40:57The smell of gunpowder
00:40:59overpowers 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.
00:41:09In the pouring rain,
00:41:11Aunt Grace laughs
00:41:12like a dying maniac
00:41:14in a speeding truck.
00:41:20This 5,000s 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!
00:41:52La 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.
00:42:11The crash shatters the rain.
00:42:14Aunt Grace doesn't die,
00:42:16but she lands somewhere worse than hell.
00:42:19Major 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.
00:42:32Major 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, Miss Grace?
00:42:47It's over.
00:42:48It'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.
00:42:58It'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.
00:43:19Because 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.
00:43:47You're stealing private property.
00:43:50Go join your husband in prison.
00:43:53Take her away.
00:44:05My 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.
00:44:17She puts me in a new lace dress
00:44:20and holds my hand,
00:44:22stepping into the light like a guardian angel.
00:44:25This is all on you!
00:44:26Uncle Thomas' mental defenses
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.
00:45:01The judge usually looks so mean,
00:45:04and 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 on 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
00:46:08and 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.
00:48:23power completely surrenders to money.
00:48:28The mayor accepts James' gift.
00:48:50Take it, James.
00:48:51With this requisition order,
00:48:52that Fertile land is yours
00:48:54by sunrise tomorrow.
00:49:12This morning,
00:49:13a lot of people suddenly come to our farm.
00:49:18It's James,
00:49:19Miss Ella,
00:49:20and the mayor.
00:49:21They look really mean.
00:49:23They use big adult words
00:49:25I don't understand.
00:49:26I 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 that marker herself.
00:49:50When it falls,
00:49:52my heart hurts so much.
00:49:53You robbers!
00:49:55I'll fight you to the death!
00:49:59Those 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 this little girl
00:50:27watching you get taken away,
00:50:28do you?
00:50:28Grandma Ada
00:50:29looks at me crying in fear.
00:50:32She closes her eyes
00:50:34and agrees to sign the contract.
00:50:38I grip Grandma's clothes tight.
00:50:41I'm worried she's in danger.
00:50:43I see her eyes turn red
00:50:45and my heart aches.
00:50:46But I don't know what to do.
00:50:49I don't know what to do.
00:50:49I don't know what to do.
00:50:56You old hag!
00:50:58Take this unlucky little stray
00:51:00and get all 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.
00:51:20Grandma Ada
00:51:20is frowning so hard.
00:51:28This year's harvest
00:51:30is totally ruined,
00:51:32sweetie.
00:51:33We might starve.
00:51:34I see how sad Grandma is
00:51:37and my heart feels
00:51:38like it's crushed by a rock.
00:51:40But I don't want
00:51:41to make her sadder.
00:51:42I remember Grandma Ada said,
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 digging
00:51:54a little hole,
00:51:55I believe my luck
00:51:57will definitely help us.
00:51:59Right then,
00:52:00something weird happens.
00:52:02The ground starts shaking violently.
00:52:05I feel the rocks under my feet
00:52:07jumping like they're alive.
00:52:09Danger!
00:52:09Leonis, get out of the way!
00:52:16The ground shakes like a thousand wild 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 such a scary
00:52:32and awesome sight.
00:52:33The black liquid shoots up so high
00:52:36and rains down,
00:52:37splashing all over me and Grandma.
00:52:39This weird rain is black and stinky.
00:52:42It sticks to my face
00:52:44and ruins my only clean dress.
00:52:47I look at Grandma nervously,
00:52:49terrified she's going to blow up
00:52:51over this awful prank.
00:52:52But I notice Grandma Ada
00:52:54isn't mad at all.
00:52:55Her weathered face
00:52:56instantly twists
00:52:57into this extreme,
00:52:59almost crazy joy.
00:53:01This isn't muddy water!
00:53:02It's crude oil!
00:53:03It's oil!
00:53:04Thank God!
00:53:05We struck oil!
00:53:06I don't know what oil is,
00:53:09but I can taste Grandma's happy tears.
00:53:12In this black rain,
00:53:14we hug each other so tight.
00:53:19Not long after that black rain,
00:53:21a bunch of big shoops come to town.
00:53:24They head straight for this rocky wasteland
00:53:27that even the devil wouldn't look twice at.
00:53:42Congratulations, Mrs. Hanson.
00:53:44Your granddaughter is a true lucky angel.
00:53:48A bunch of guys in expensive suits
00:53:50step out of the cars.
00:53:51They use weird gadgets
00:53:53to dig and measure all over the place.
00:53:58Mr. Sterling!
00:53:59Initial surveys show
00:54:01the most massive,
00:54:03shallow oil field
00:54:04in the entire state
00:54:06is hidden right under here!
00:54:07The value is immeasurable!
00:54:09I don't understand what they're saying,
00:54:11but I see Mr. Sterling
00:54:13pull out a really big piece of paper
00:54:15with lots and lots of zeros on it.
00:54:18Starting today,
00:54:19an oil company named after you
00:54:21is officially founded.
00:54:22Congratulations,
00:54:22my little black gold Tycara!
00:54:24In that moment,
00:54:26I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:54:28Mr. Sterling calls me
00:54:29a black gold Tycone.
00:54:31I don't really get what that means,
00:54:32but he tells me
00:54:33we'll never go hungry again.
00:54:37Mr. Sterling tells me
00:54:39God rewards the good,
00:54:41but also punishes the bad guys
00:54:43who bully us without mercy.
00:54:45Once I use this money
00:54:46to buy off the state senator,
00:54:48I'll get out of this hellhole
00:54:50and be a real big shot in Washington.
00:54:52And he sends the toughest lawyers
00:54:55and cops to find that evil mayor.
00:54:57Those gentlemen in black suits
00:54:59burst right into that room full of lies.
00:55:02Mr. Mayor,
00:55:03this is all the evidence
00:55:04of your corruption, bribery,
00:55:05and abuse of power.
00:55:06You're under arrest.
00:55:07Just like superheroes
00:55:09dropping from the sky in movies.
00:55:11Seeing the bad guy get punished
00:55:13makes me feel so good.
00:55:14This can't be happening.
00:55:16Let go of me.
00:55:17I can give you money.
00:55:18Turns out,
00:55:19there really is justice in this world.
00:55:25Aunt Ella and Uncle James
00:55:27stand on the fertile farm they stole.
00:55:29They look at the rocky land
00:55:30they tossed away like trash,
00:55:32now swarming with rich people,
00:55:34and they are going absolutely crazy
00:55:37with jealousy.
00:55:38Damn it!
00:55:38That land was ours!
00:55:41We threw it away!
00:55:43At least we still have
00:55:44the best wheat field in town.
00:55:46We'll strike it rich in the fall anyway.
00:55:48That little bit of oil they have
00:55:49will probably dry up real soon.
00:55:51Miss Ella is still dreaming
00:55:53of getting rich,
00:55:54but she doesn't know
00:55:55that God's judgment
00:55:57never spares a greedy soul.
00:55:59I see a huge dark cloud flying in.
00:56:04As it gets closer,
00:56:06I realize it's not a cloud at all.
00:56:09It's millions of gross bugs.
00:56:21No!
00:56:23My wheat field!
00:56:25James' screams echo
00:56:27across the empty farm.
00:56:29That golden wheat field
00:56:30is just completely eaten up
00:56:33by the bugs.
00:56:36The bugs eat all the crops.
00:56:38Miss Ellie kneels in the messy mud
00:56:40without a shred of dignity,
00:56:42like a soulless corpse.
00:56:44Miss Ella cries so hard.
00:56:46She probably doesn't get
00:56:48why God's bugs only ate
00:56:49the fertile wheat field
00:56:50they stole from us.
00:56:52God!
00:56:53It's all God!
00:56:55We're bankrupt!
00:56:56Ah!
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 so much money
00:57:10I won't be able
00:57:11to spend it all
00:57:12in a lifetime.
00:57:13Sure.
00:57:20So many people are here today
00:57:22and they're all cheering.
00:57:24I'm so happy because
00:57:26Grandma Ida and I
00:57:27have new clothes on.
00:57:29She takes my hand
00:57:30and we cut the red ribbon.
00:57:34Grandma said flowers
00:57:35planted in rocks
00:57:36bloom brighter than any other.
00:57:39Now,
00:57:40our harsh winter
00:57:41is finally over completely.
00:57:48on this land
00:57:50we live a peaceful
00:57:51and wealthy life.
00:57:55But I don't know
00:57:56that while we smile
00:57:57in the sun
00:57:58a venomous snake
00:58:00in the dark
00:58:00is already eyeing us.
00:58:03The news of the oil field
00:58:05attracts someone
00:58:06even greedier
00:58:07than a wild wolf.
00:58:09Forced my downs
00:58:10are too low class.
00:58:11All I need
00:58:12is to snatch
00:58:13Leone's custody
00:58:14and this oil field
00:58:16is mine.
00:58:18For money
00:58:19and revenge
00:58:20they sell
00:58:21Grandma Ida
00:58:22and me out.
00:58:27Ida is vulgar
00:58:28and mentally unstable.
00:58:31She carries
00:58:32a hunting rifle
00:58:32everywhere
00:58:33has violent tendencies
00:58:35and constantly
00:58:36abuses Leone.
00:58:38Excellent!
00:58:40She's unfit
00:58:41to raise
00:58:41Leone
00:58:42I'll be
00:58:42taking over
00:58:43her custody.
00:58:45McClain files
00:58:46a petition
00:58:47to change
00:58:48guardianship
00:58:49at the court
00:58:50shattering
00:58:51my peaceful life
00:58:52with Grandma
00:58:53Ida.
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
00:59:03straight up
00:59:04to Grandma Ida.
00:59:05Hello Mrs. Hanson
00:59:06we're from the city court.
00:59:08Someone reported you
00:59:09for child abuse
00:59:09and is demanding you
00:59:10hand over
00:59:10Leone S's custody.
00:59:12Grandma Ida
00:59:12is stunned.
00:59:13Once she snaps
00:59:14out of it
00:59:15she loudly
00:59:16protests
00:59:17and swears
00:59:18she never abused
00:59:18any child.
00:59:20I swear on my life
00:59:21Grandma Ida
00:59:22is the best person
00:59:24in the world.
00:59:25She has never
00:59:26abused me.
00:59:28Sorry we're just
00:59:28here to 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
00:59:34any 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
00:59:46trial at all.
00:59:47It's a brutal
00:59:48one-sided execution.
00:59:50McLean hired
00:59:50top-tilt lawyer
00:59:51Barry with serious
00:59:52cash
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
01:00:00dollar girl
01:00:00or is your only
01:00:02skill abusing
01:00:03people and feeding
01:00:04pigs?
01:00:04You!
01:00:05Lawyer Barry
01:00:06you should know
01:00:07that you need to
01:00:07present evidence
01:00:08for your claims.
01:00:09Of course
01:00:09don't you worry
01:00:10about that.
01:00:11Lawyer Barry
01:00:12uses fancy legal
01:00:13talk to paint
01:00:15Grandma Ida
01:00:15as a violent
01:00:16ignorant village
01:00:18woman.
01:00:19What's worse
01:00:19the devil's
01:00:21accomplices
01:00:21take the stand.
01:00:23Your Honor
01:00:23I saw with
01:00:25my own eyes
01:00:26how Ida
01:00:26forced Leonie
01:00:27to sleep
01:00:28in the barn
01:00:28and eat scraps.
01:00:30You two
01:00:31animals
01:00:32shut up!
01:00:33Ella
01:00:33you're crossing
01:00:34the line.
01:00:35James

01:03:11McLean doesn't
01:03:27McLean doesn't just let it go
01:03:28fast
01:03:29way beyond what any of us expected
01:03:32I'll go check it out
01:03:34I walk out with grandma Ada
01:03:37and the others
01:03:37We see several cars without license cards
01:03:41smash through the farm gate like mad bulls
01:03:44completely blocking our escape
01:03:51They claim McLean sent them
01:03:53They threaten grandma Ada to sell the oil field to them dirt cheap
01:03:56but she refuses to give in
01:03:58They only give us 10 minutes
01:04:00After 10 minutes they'll make their move
01:04:18Grandma Ada chooses to let mom Martha hide me in the cellar
01:04:23while she faces the mafia head on
01:04:47Give me 10 minutes to think about it
01:04:55Grandma pretends to give in
01:04:57just to keep me safe
01:05:07Grandma Ada has already decided to fight the mafia to the end
01:05:13and dad Arthur asks Sheriff Harry for backup
01:05:24The mobsters get ready to strike
01:05:28but grandma Ada
01:05:32is faster
01:05:35Damn it they have guns
01:05:38You scumbags want to steal my granddaughter's land
01:05:42Get off my property right now
01:05:44or I'll send you to hell
01:05:52To protect me and our home
01:05:54Grandma Ada and dad Arthur get into a shootout with the mob
01:06:02But nobody knows that two greedy coyotes
01:06:06are sneaking into our
01:06:08defenseless backyard
01:06:23That bitch Martha took the little bastard in there
01:06:26This is our best chance
01:06:28Whether the mob or mother wins
01:06:30We're dead either way
01:06:32Catching Lionel is our only leverage
01:06:42The constant gunshots outside make me super anxious
01:06:46Just then the cellar door suddenly opens
01:06:49Is it grandma Ada and the others coming back?
01:06:52Grandma Ada
01:06:58It's you
01:06:59Get out of here right now
01:07:01My dear sister Martha
01:07:03That old hag Ada is busy fighting the mob
01:07:06Let's see who comes to save you this time
01:07:08They'll want to kidnap me
01:07:10But mom Martha stands in front of me
01:07:12to protect me
01:07:18Stop fighting you little brat
01:07:20You're our cash cow
01:07:22Ella grabs me
01:07:23Clamping a towel soaked in pungent chemicals
01:07:26tightly over my nose and mouth
01:07:27Intense busyness instantly pierces my brain
01:07:30Hurry up
01:07:31Get her in the sack
01:07:32We don't have much time
01:07:33Grandma Ada and the others hide 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 my hands tied to a rotting wooden post
01:07:56Ella and James are like wolves ready to devour me
01:07:59Once we get the money
01:08:00We'll throw you down an abandoned mine shaft to feed the rats
01:08:04Let's go
01:08:05We should check the situation outside
01:08:08They leave
01:08:09And I'm all alone in the abandoned mine
01:08:11I'm so scared
01:08:13But I can't just do nothing
01:08:14They'll use me to threaten Grandma Ada
01:08:16I can't let them get away with it
01:08:18Thank God
01:08:19The lalt rope falls off on its own
01:08:22Is that firefly leading the way for me
01:08:35The little bitch escaped
01:08:37Miss Ella quickly notices I'm gone
01:08:39She and James are searching for me
01:08:45The harsh light flashes right past my feet
01:08:48I'm gonna be found
01:08:50What do I do?
01:08:51Save me, Grandma Ada
01:08:53Dad
01:08:56Grandma Ada and the others are trapped
01:08:59The mob is searching for us
01:09:02Grandma Ada and Dad Arthur
01:09:04Wait for Sheriff Harry
01:09:06But he doesn't show up
01:09:07Because the mob has him pinned down too
01:09:11It's all my fault
01:09:12I didn't protect Leon 8
01:09:16Mom lost me
01:09:18And she feels incredibly guilty
01:09:24Let's take them down with us
01:09:30The mob finds Mom, Martha
01:09:32And the others
01:09:43You're out of bullets, right?
01:09:47Say your prayers
01:09:48But right then
01:09:49A deafening roar interrupts Victor
01:09:58Who's this nosy bastard?
01:10:00You got a death wish?
01:10:18Where is my daughter?
01:10:20Leo!
01:10:22Leonie's real father!
01:10:27That tall man
01:10:28Like a god of war
01:10:30My father Leo
01:10:32Rushes to Grandma anxiously
01:10:34Asking where I am
01:10:36Grandma Ada blasts
01:10:38The venomous McLean's plant
01:10:40And Ella's shameless kidnapping
01:10:43Luckily
01:10:43Sheriff Harry arrives at the scene
01:10:45And quickly takes down
01:10:47The rest of the mobsters
01:10:51Mrs. Hanson
01:10:52Please forgive me for being late
01:10:54That mob sent people to block us
01:10:55Seeing my father alive
01:10:57Sheriff Harry is so shocked
01:10:59He can barely hold his gun
01:11:01My father explains
01:11:02He faked his death
01:11:03To carry out a top secret mission
01:11:05By the way
01:11:06My men saw Ella and James
01:11:08Heading toward the abandoned mine
01:11:09Out west
01:11:10Thank you, Harry
01:11:18But right now
01:11:19The 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 more trouble for Grandma Ada
01:11:31Save me, Dad
01:11:42Leone!
01:11:44I run through the tunnel for my life
01:11:47But those heavy footsteps
01:11:49Follow me like a death sentence
01:11:52James catches up to me quickly
01:11:54He grabs my hair tight
01:11:56Slams me hard onto the cold, rocky ground
01:11:59And talks with Miss Ella
01:12:00About breaking my legs
01:12:02The huge rock is about to smash my legs
01:12:05I can almost hear my bones breaking
01:12:07Someone, please save me
01:12:10Who? Who is it?
01:12:11Do you have any idea who you're messing with?
01:12:16No! Don't kill me!
01:12:18You can take the girl
01:12:18She's worth an oil field
01:12:19You'll be rich!
01:12:21I hear Ella's terrified voice in the dark
01:12:23Did someone save me?
01:12:26No!
01:12:27No!
01:12:28No!
01:12:29No!
01:12:29No!
01:12:30No!
01:12:31No!
01:12:32No!
01:12:34No!
01:12:34No!
01:12:34No!
01:12:34No!
01:12:36No!
01:12:36No!
01:12:37No!
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
01:12:52Leonith
01:12:53Dad's embrace is as warm as the midday sun
01:12:56It instantly drives away all the cold and fear in the mine
01:13:01Dad carefully checks me for injuries
01:13:03Luckily, Miss Ella and the others haven't hurt me yet
01:13:07Dad takes me out of the pitch black mine
01:13:10Grandma Otta and the others find us too
01:13:13Grandma Ada checks every inch of me
01:13:16She only relaxes after making sure I'm not hurt
01:13:20Leonie!
01:13:21My sweet baby!
01:13:23Are you okay?
01:13:25Grandma Ada furiously scolds Miss Ella and James
01:13:29Sheriff Harry arrives and arrests them
01:13:32The bad guys are taken away
01:13:34No!
01:13:35Mother, please forgive me!
01:13:37It's over
01:13:37It's all over
01:13:39No!
01:13:40And Dad is finally back
01:13:42I hold Grandma's hand tightly with one hand
01:13:45And grip Dad broad, warm hand with the other
01:13:52Dad promises me he will come back
01:13:54Grandma Ada tells me
01:13:56Dad is going to catch the bad guy
01:13:59The one behind this whole conspiracy
01:14:03Dad tells me to stay here and be good
01:14:06He has to go take care of something
01:14:22Glane messes everything up
01:14:24After finding out Dad's identity
01:14:26He decides to flee immediately
01:14:30Dammit!
01:14:31Why does he have a military background?
01:14:40McLean jumps into his car in a panic
01:14:43But they don't even make it out of the estate gates
01:14:46Get us out of here
01:14:47As fast as you can
01:14:49Now!
01:14:55My dad blocks their way
01:14:57McLean gives the order
01:14:59And the car doesn't slow down
01:15:02They want to run my dad over
01:15:04Facing the speeding beast
01:15:06Dad doesn't panic
01:15:07He calmly pulls out his gun and shoots
01:15:16Dad's perfect breaking marksmanship flips the bad guy's car
01:15:21McLean can't escape
01:15:22Don't kill me!
01:15:23I'll give you 10 million!
01:15:25Keep your money
01:15:26You'll need it to buy your way into hell
01:15:31McLean stands in the dock in a prison uniform
01:15:35Totally stripped of his former arrogance
01:15:39Dad not only catches McLean himself
01:15:42But also gathers all the evidence of his crimes
01:15:45No elite lawyer can save him now
01:15:49McLean
01:15:52Do you have anything to say?
01:15:54No
01:15:55I confess to my crimes
01:15:58In the end
01:15:59McLean is sentenced to life in prison
01:16:02And stripped of all his assets
01:16:14As for Miss Ella and James
01:16:17They get their due punishment too
01:16:2030 years in prison
01:16:22They deserve it
01:16:23All the bad guys are locked up
01:16:26And I finally have my dad back
01:16:28A much better life is waiting for us
01:16:33Dad's hand is so warm
01:16:35And I feel so comfortable right now
01:16:38He promises he'll never leave my side again
01:16:42Tomorrow is Thanksgiving
01:16:43Our family must have a proper celebration
01:16:53The fire cracklers
01:16:54And the smell of roast turkey and pumpkin pie
01:16:58Fills the whole house
01:17:00This is a Thanksgiving dinner
01:17:02I couldn't even dare to dream of
01:17:06Grandma Ada and the family call me their little angel
01:17:09They say they have this life now because of me
01:17:11My dad also thanks Grandma Ada
01:17:14Because she took me in
01:17:16If it weren't for her
01:17:18I wouldn't be here today
01:17:26Even without blood ties
01:17:28I've considered them my real family for a long time
01:17:38This is the only thing your mom left behind
01:17:40She got separated from her family in a dust storm
01:17:43Her wish was to find them
01:17:44Now I'm passing it on to you
01:17:46Mom
01:17:47I take my mom's belonging
01:17:49And beside me
01:17:50Grandma Ada suddenly freezes
01:17:52As if she's been electrocuted
01:17:57Oh my god
01:17:59Leonie
01:18:00Your mother is my biological daughter
01:18:02Who went missing 30 years ago
01:18:04I gave her this pocket 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 daughter
01:18:16I hug Grandma Aide tight
01:18:18No, she's my real grandma
01:18:20She's my actual family
01:18:23Grandma Ada
01:18:23You're my real grandma
01:18:25Yes, my sweet girl
01:18:27I'm your grandma
01:18:28Forever
01:18:29Thank God
01:18:30We truly are family
01:18:32Not only do I have my dad back
01:18:34But Grandma Ada is my biological grandmother
01:18:37I'm so lucky and so happy
01:18:39Happy Thanksgiving's everyone
01:18:40Let's eat
01:18:45The nightmare is over
01:18:48Thanks to the oil field
01:18:50Everyone in the village can afford to eat
01:18:52And wear warm clothes
01:18:55Dad plays with me
01:18:56Dad plays with me every day
01:18:57I feel like the happiest kid in the world
01:19:02And my grandma Ada
01:19:04She no longer needs her mean disguise
01:19:07She is now the most generous old lady in the whole village
01:19:11Take a break if you're tired
01:19:16Grandma Ada
01:19:18Grandma Ada
01:19:20Hi
01:19:21Grandma Ada
01:19:24Oh my
01:19:26My little Leona looks so pretty today
01:19:31Leona needs to go to school in the city
01:19:33I'm taking her there myself
01:19:34Dad
01:19:36Dad
01:19:36Will the city people bully me?
01:19:38Don't worry
01:19:39Dad will protect you
01:19:41I am so incredibly happy now
01:19:43All the misfortunes of the past are gone
01:19:45I feel so blessed
01:19:47Because I finally have a home
