00:00:01I'm Leonie, and I'm seven. The whole town of Oakhaven thinks I'm cursed. I haven't eaten all day. I just
00:00:11stared at the black bread in my aunt's hand, and she whipped me bloody with a thorny vine.
00:00:25What are you looking at? I gave you a soup last, and you still steal food! You! Good-for-nothing
00:00:32leech!
00:00:34Aunt Grace slammed the heavy farm tool right onto me. Stop playing dead! If you don't finish before sunset, forget
00:00:41about dinner!
00:00:42My hands are covered in cuts, and the broken blisters sting interribly. But I have to work, or I'll be
00:00:50thrown out into the wild.
00:00:53Under the scorching sun, I starved and dragged myself to the field. Passing villagers just pointed and whispered.
00:01:00They said Aunt Grace kept all my dad's military pension from the war, but they only pitied me in secret.
00:01:06No one dared to help.
00:01:07Look at the poor thing. Grace is an absolute monster. She spreads rumors that Leonie is the cursed child who
00:01:14brought the dust storms. Good lord, it breaks my heart.
00:01:18Just then, Mrs. Hannon showed up. She's the meanest, greediest woman in town.
00:01:24Oh, look at this! She just snatched people's seeds.
00:01:27Dirt in Oak Haven is growing its own seeds! Since you don't want them, I'll take them.
00:01:31Ada! You wicked hag! Stealing our seeds? Have you no shame?
00:01:36You dropped them them yourself, and now you're framing me?
00:01:40Mrs. Hannon raised her tool looking so fierce. She scared them away.
00:01:45Mrs. Hanson looked like a wicked witch. Everyone was scared of her.
00:01:49Back off! Don't even think about stealing my seeds!
00:01:51And so was I.
00:01:52I'm sorry, Mrs. Hanson. I'll move over there.
00:01:56But I couldn't run. I had to finish Aunt Grace's work.
00:02:02The sun felt like it was burning a hole in my head. I couldn't hold on anymore.
00:02:08Everything went black, and I crashed into the mud.
00:02:16Hey! You wretched girl!
00:02:29Cold water trickled down my cracked lips. I thought I'd die in that dry mud.
00:02:35But the one who saved me was the meanest, scariest woman in town, Mrs. Hanson.
00:02:40Don't die!!!
00:02:55Really sad!
00:02:57Boy gracias!
00:03:06Soit was carried so good as he'd lie as he'd have.
00:03:10Mrs. Hansen, 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. Hansen deserve a reward from God.
00:03:26Right then, Mrs. Hansen accidentally kicked a pile of dead roots,
00:03:30and hidden inside was a massive, golden, dripping wild honeycomb.
00:03:40Mrs. Hansen took her lucky find home.
00:03:43She wanted to save the precious honey for her sick oldest son.
00:03:48Mother, this is too precious.
00:03:50You work so hard every day, you should have it.
00:03:55Are you trying to infuriate me?
00:03:57Arthur can barely breathe from his coughing.
00:04:00Do you want him to meet his mather early?
00:04:03Miss Ella, her second daughter-in-law, is super selfish.
00:04:08Her eyes lit up when she saw the honey, just like a hungry wolf.
00:04:16Arthur's minor lungs are already rotting.
00:04:18It's a waste to give it to him.
00:04:19I'm carrying your only grandson.
00:04:21He needs the nutrition way more.
00:04:27Stop!
00:04:28Mrs. Hansen and Miss Martha stormed out in a rage.
00:04:32But right as she crossed the threshold,
00:04:35Mrs. Hansen tripped over a dark figure in the corner.
00:04:38Curled up in the freezing corner was a ragged, bloody figure.
00:04:43It was me.
00:04:44My God, Leoneni!
00:04:46Why are you covered in blood out here?
00:04:51Since I didn't finish the work,
00:04:53my aunt whipped me bloody and threw me out.
00:04:56Turns out, under all that yelling,
00:04:58Mrs. Hansen's had the only kind heart in town.
00:05:02Grace is a wicked, heartless witch!
00:05:05What a bastard!
00:05:09Why did you come to my house anyway?
00:05:12Out of all the houses in the village,
00:05:13you were I and my honey, weren't you?
00:05:15No, Mrs. Hansen.
00:05:17It's because I know you're a good person.
00:05:26Don't be scared, Leonie.
00:05:28Stay with us tonight and I'll take you back in the morning.
00:05:30Oh my gosh!
00:05:31Mrs. Martha let me stay?
00:05:33Is this real?
00:05:34No!
00:05:35I don't agree!
00:05:36Get out!
00:05:37But Miss Ella called me a free loner.
00:05:40Grabbed me by the neck and tried to throw me out to the wolves.
00:05:42It hurts!
00:05:44Mrs. Hansen, help me!
00:05:46Please don't throw me out!
00:05:48I'll do anything!
00:05:50I struggled in despair, wanting so badly to live.
00:05:53Right then, a massive 200-pound wild boar charged like crazy
00:05:58and smashed itself to death against the courtyard wall.
00:06:06Because of the famine, everyone in town only ever ate hard black bread.
00:06:11But tonight we had delicious roast pork.
00:06:14Sweet 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. Hansen for keeping me warm.
00:06:21But just as she went to take her first bite,
00:06:25something weird happened.
00:06:27Get lost, you begging little stray!
00:06:29You don't belong here!
00:06:46Miss Ella, I'm sorry.
00:06:49I won't eat it.
00:06:50You can have it all.
00:06:51I don't know why,
00:06:52but Miss Ella bites into a bone and knocks her teeth out.
00:06:56Her mouth is full of blood.
00:06:58Miss Ella is furious.
00:07:00She didn't get to eat the meat.
00:07:01But there's nothing she can do.
00:07:03She just leaves in a rage.
00:07:12Leon, you are a good girl.
00:07:16It's morning.
00:07:17Miss Martha takes me home.
00:07:19As soon as we reach the gate,
00:07:20I see Aunt Grace throwing all my things out.
00:07:23She's kicking me out right in front of all the neighbors.
00:07:25Flash out!
00:07:26Don't bring bad luck into our house!
00:07:29She says my dad is dead and the military won't send any more subsidies.
00:07:41Auntie, please don't kick me out.
00:07:43I'll work harder.
00:07:45I won't eat.
00:07:46I won't sleep.
00:07:46I'm begging you.
00:07:49Get lost!
00:07:50You cursed brat!
00:07:51You killed your own father!
00:07:53Stay away from us!
00:07:55Aunt Grace wants to kick me out.
00:07:57I cry and hug her leg,
00:07:59terrified that Dad won't find me when he comes back.
00:08:02She heartlessly kicks me away,
00:08:04grabs a thorny stick,
00:08:05and whips me hard on the back.
00:08:07I run out of the house into the cornfield,
00:08:09and I run and run.
00:08:16Miss Martha rushes over to protect,
00:08:18but Aunt Grace violently shoves her away.
00:08:20Back off!
00:08:21Mind your own business.
00:08:37Take this dead man's trash and go straight to hell!
00:08:45Dad!
00:08:47Even with the glass cutting my fingers 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.
00:09:12Stop it!
00:09:14Stop it!
00:09:14The thunderous roar shocks everyone.
00:09:17The burly Sheriff Harry violently shoves my aunt away.
00:09:21He drops to one knee in the mud and lifts my bloody body.
00:09:25Mr. Carter, tell me my dad isn't dead.
00:09:27They're just lying to me, right?
00:09:29I beg him in despair,
00:09:31but looking at my mangled hands,
00:09:33Mr. Carter painfully closes his eyes.
00:09:36In that moment,
00:09:37the last bit of hope in my heart
00:09:39completely dies.
00:09:41Dad really isn't coming back.
00:09:46Leone is the child of a hero!
00:09:48How dare you treat her like this!
00:09:50She's a jinx.
00:09:51I won't let her pass her bad luck to my son.
00:09:54She's getting out of my house today.
00:09:56Aunt Grace doesn't just want to kick me out.
00:09:59She wants to steal the farm and house Dad left me.
00:10:02And my own Uncle Thomas just guiltily hides behind his wife,
00:10:06not even daring to look at me.
00:10:08My wife is right.
00:10:10We have a son to raise, too.
00:10:12Mr. Carter takes off his hat
00:10:14and humbly begs the villagers
00:10:15to each chip in a little food
00:10:17to raise me together.
00:10:19But those neighbors,
00:10:21who once received favors from my dad,
00:10:24all make excuses about having no extra food.
00:10:27They even suggest sending me to the workhouse in the city.
00:10:30In that moment,
00:10:32I feel like a dirty rag tossed away by the world.
00:10:36With red eyes,
00:10:37Mr. Carter drags me toward his carriage.
00:10:40I kick frantically,
00:10:42digging my nails deep into the dirt,
00:10:44my face covered in blood and tears.
00:10:46No! I don't want to go to the workhouse!
00:10:47I want to wait for Dad right here!
00:10:50Please don't send me away!
00:10:53Just as I'm about to be stuffed into the carriage,
00:10:56I see a skinny but determined figure
00:10:58burst through the crowd.
00:10:59It's Miss Martha.
00:11:01Enough!
00:11:02Nobody is taking her away!
00:11:04I'm going to adopt Leonie!
00:11:06She snatches me back,
00:11:08ignoring everything else,
00:11:10and holds me tight in her warm embrace.
00:11:18I hide in Miss Martha's warm arms like a drowning cat.
00:11:22Even though Mr. Carter sighs and says the workhouse will feed me,
00:11:26I still grip Miss Martha's clothes tightly.
00:11:29She's the last bit of light I can hold on to.
00:11:34Miss Martha,
00:11:36I'll be good.
00:11:37I'll eat less and work more from now on.
00:11:40I promise to treat Leonie like my own child.
00:11:42As long as I have a bite to eat,
00:11:44she won't starve.
00:11:46How bizarre.
00:11:47Someone actually wants to raise this jinx.
00:11:49Martha,
00:11:50I suggest you prepare a coffin for your sick husband first.
00:11:53Right then,
00:11:54Miss Ella,
00:11:55heavily pregnant,
00:11:56suddenly stormed out.
00:11:58Martha!
00:11:59Are you insane?
00:12:00She's just a freeloading jinx.
00:12:02Where on earth do we have the money to raise a stray?
00:12:05Everyone is saying Mrs. Hanson will kick me out.
00:12:09Martha,
00:12:09your family has no extra money or food either.
00:12:12Your mother-in-law will probably just throw her out again tomorrow.
00:12:16You 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,
00:12:31a crisp slap echoes out
00:12:32and the whole yard falls dead silent.
00:12:42You idiot!
00:12:43Don't think being pregnant makes you untouchable.
00:12:46How dare you come out here spewing lies?
00:12:49Now,
00:12:49get your ass back home now!
00:12:58Taking Leanne in was my call.
00:13:01Anyone else got something to say?
00:13:03I'll shatter your bones with this pole!
00:13:07Mrs. Hanson's words hit like a bombshell.
00:13:10She's actually taking me.
00:13:12Turns out,
00:13:13even in this freezing world,
00:13:15someone is willing to face the backlash for a jinx like me.
00:13:19Ada,
00:13:20you've been a cheap shooter your whole life.
00:13:22You hoard rusty nails.
00:13:24But now you're raising a stray?
00:13:26They're dirt poor.
00:13:28Bet they'll trade her for rations.
00:13:30She's a hero's kid.
00:13:31You'll rot in jail for this.
00:13:33Cowards.
00:13:34When Officer Harry begged for food,
00:13:36it was crickets.
00:13:37Now I step up,
00:13:38and suddenly you've all got an opinion.
00:13:40You want her?
00:13:41Take her.
00:13:42No?
00:13:42Then shut your mouths!
00:13:46Listen up,
00:13:46Leonie.
00:13:47You'll be cold,
00:13:48hungry,
00:13:49and working your fingers to the bone.
00:13:51Can you handle that?
00:13:53I can!
00:13:54I'll wash clothes,
00:13:55gather wood,
00:13:56and take care of Mr. Arthur.
00:13:58When I'm older,
00:13:59I swear I'll make it up to you.
00:14:01All right then.
00:14:02From now on,
00:14:03I'm your grandma,
00:14:04and Martha is your mom.
00:14:07Grandma.
00:14:10Mom.
00:14:13Not so fast.
00:14:14You want the kid?
00:14:15You owe me rations 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.
00:14:29Five pounds of premium flour.
00:14:32Not an ounce less,
00:14:33or she stays put.
00:14:43I was terrified Mrs. Hanson would back out.
00:14:46Five pounds of flour just for me?
00:14:48That's a whole month's worth of bread for a family.
00:14:50Fine!
00:14:51Deal!
00:14:51What?
00:14:53Ada actually agreed?
00:14:54We're writing a contract
00:14:56to cut all ties right here.
00:14:58From this moment on,
00:15:00Leon has nothing to do with you two animals.
00:15:02Dead or alive,
00:15:03we go our separate ways.
00:15:06Fine by me!
00:15:07Who wants this jinx anyway?
00:15:09Thomas, go write up the contract!
00:15:14Just as Aunt Grace smugly carries the flour inside,
00:15:18she trips over nothing.
00:15:20The flour she traded me for
00:15:22is completely blown away by the wind.
00:15:48See that?
00:15:50God is watching!
00:15:52Leonie, let's go home!
00:15:54For the first time,
00:15:55the cramped cabin feels warm from the fire.
00:15:59Mrs. Hanson curses the whole time,
00:16:01calling the thick wool blanket
00:16:03Miss Martha spent three months knitting
00:16:05a piece of junk,
00:16:06but she 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,
00:16:12and don't get my floor dirty!
00:16:16Grandma Ada calls that beautiful wool blanket junk,
00:16:20but she has sick Mr. Arthur tuck me in with it.
00:16:24In this moment,
00:16:25I finally have a home.
00:16:27Thank you, Grandma.
00:16:29Thank you, Mom.
00:16:33Thank you, Mr. Arthur.
00:16:36Mr. Arthur tells me to call him Dad.
00:16:38He says until my real dad comes back,
00:16:41he'll protect me with his life.
00:16:42I'm finally not an unwanted kid anymore.
00:16:50Good Lord!
00:16:53How could that wicked woman do this?
00:16:55Martha,
00:16:56go sell my wool coat.
00:16:59Use the money to build up her strength.
00:17:01To buy me meat.
00:17:02Dad even wants to sell his winter coat.
00:17:04Grandma slams the table and stops him,
00:17:07because without it,
00:17:08Dad won't survive the winter.
00:17:10Mom cries and says,
00:17:11the doctor told them a natural hot spring
00:17:13could turn Dad's health around.
00:17:15But in Oak Haven,
00:17:16where it hasn't rained in three years,
00:17:19that's impossible.
00:17:20Don't be scared, Dad.
00:17:21I'll pray to the angels.
00:17:22You're going to get better.
00:17:26I pray to the angels with all my heart.
00:17:29I'd give up ten years of my life
00:17:31for Dad's health.
00:17:32I run to the back hill,
00:17:34wanting to do more chores for the family.
00:17:37With a loud pop,
00:17:38I easily pull a deep-rooted stump
00:17:41right out of the ground.
00:17:43Then,
00:17:43a blast of hot,
00:17:45wet steam
00:17:46shoots into the sky
00:17:48like a giant dragon.
00:17:49Grandma!
00:17:50Mom!
00:17:51Come out quick!
00:17:52I broke the ground!
00:17:55Hearing my scream,
00:17:57Grandma Ad rushes over first.
00:17:59I think I broke the earth
00:18:01and caused a huge disaster.
00:18:04But when she touches the boiling water
00:18:06with trembling hands,
00:18:07she laughs and cries
00:18:10like a kid.
00:18:11It's hot!
00:18:12The water is hot!
00:18:13It's a natural hot spring!
00:18:37It's a real hot spring!
00:18:38It's a real hot spring!
00:18:44It's a real hot spring!
00:18:46It's a real hot spring could save your lungs!
00:18:47You're saved!
00:18:49Mom hugs me tight
00:18:50and kisses my face in excitement.
00:18:52She says I'm an angel sent by God.
00:18:55It turns out I'm not unwanted trash.
00:18:57I can be someone's salvation too.
00:19:01But when I happily return to the yard,
00:19:04I'm greeted by two icy faces.
00:19:07Miss Ella and Aunt Grace
00:19:08are whispering together.
00:19:10Their glares pierce my heart
00:19:12like poison swords.
00:19:14What rotten luck!
00:19:16We're already too poor to eat
00:19:17and now we have to share food with her!
00:19:18Ella, I'm telling you,
00:19:21stay away from them.
00:19:22That Leonae brings nothing but bad luck.
00:19:30But remembering bad
00:19:32spent all his money on medicine.
00:19:34I can't bear to see this family
00:19:36tear itself apart over me.
00:19:38Miss Ella, please don't be mad.
00:19:41I won't fight for anything.
00:19:43I'll help take care of the baby
00:19:45and I won't eat the good food.
00:19:49Liar!
00:19:50Are you gonna let her pass
00:19:51her bad luck to your son?
00:19:53Her curse will kill your son!
00:19:56Pete!
00:20:03Get lost!
00:20:04Don't touch me with your dirty hands!
00:20:16Aunt Grace screams that I'm a monster
00:20:19who kills families,
00:20:21pushing Miss Ella to attack me.
00:20:23Just as I try to beg again,
00:20:25Ella winds up
00:20:26and slaps me hard across the face.
00:20:32My face burns like it's on fire,
00:20:35but I don't cry.
00:20:37Grandma Ada told me
00:20:38if I'm bullied and oppressed,
00:20:40I have to fight back.
00:20:41Leonae,
00:20:42you are a child of this house.
00:20:44When you get bullied,
00:20:46you fight back.
00:20:47Grandma helps me raise my hand
00:20:49and aim at Aunt Grace,
00:20:50who's waiting for a laugh.
00:20:53The stone hits her shoulder dead on.
00:20:55Ouch!
00:20:55My shoulder's hurt!
00:20:57Help!
00:20:57I watch Aunt Grace run away.
00:21:00She used to seem like a giant fence to me,
00:21:03but now she looks like a panicked gray rat
00:21:06scurrying around.
00:21:07Grandma Ada
00:21:08is like a massive tree
00:21:10shielding me from the storm.
00:21:11She publicly announces
00:21:13she's cutting ties with Miss Ella.
00:21:15Leona's my chosen granddaughter!
00:21:17She's no jinx!
00:21:18Mother!
00:21:18Your real grandson is right here.
00:21:21Arthur is a cripple
00:21:22and Martha can't have kids.
00:21:23If you insist on keeping this jinx,
00:21:25we're cutting ties.
00:21:26Fine, I agree.
00:21:28Mom and Dad
00:21:29hold Grandma's sleeves,
00:21:30begging her not to act rashly,
00:21:33but she firmly refuses.
00:21:35As long as this toxic woman,
00:21:38Ella, is around,
00:21:39our family will never have
00:21:41a normal life!
00:21:42I'm kicking this wicked woman out
00:21:44today!
00:21:46Cutting ties is no big deal,
00:21:48but get the best house
00:21:50and the biggest part of the farm!
00:21:52Done!
00:21:54You can have it!
00:21:56Just get out of my sight!
00:21:58Ella,
00:22:00don't hesitate!
00:22:02Cut ties with them!
00:22:03And your husband's money
00:22:05will be all yours!
00:22:06Do you want Leonise
00:22:08to bring bad luck
00:22:09to you and your baby?
00:22:11Don't forget,
00:22:13her unlucky dad
00:22:14just died in the war!
00:22:16My dad isn't dead!
00:22:18He's coming back!
00:22:20He'll come back
00:22:21and make you pay!
00:22:22Stop dreaming!
00:22:24He was blown to ashes
00:22:26long ago!
00:22:26You won't even find
00:22:27his bones!
00:22:29Leonise's bad luck
00:22:30will drag the whole town down!
00:22:33Just watch!
00:22:34Soon you won't even
00:22:35have mud to eat!
00:22:36I'm not a jinx!
00:22:38Grandma Ada says
00:22:39I brought good luck!
00:22:41You're a bad person!
00:22:43Get out of my house!
00:22:49Aunt Grace's laughter
00:22:50suddenly stops
00:22:51as the roar of an engine
00:22:53and the steel monster
00:22:55shatters the silence
00:22:57of the wasteland
00:22:58and traces back
00:22:59doors and doors.
00:23:00The car door opens
00:23:01and a tall man
00:23:02covered in metal
00:23:03steps out.
00:23:04I don't even need
00:23:05to see his face.
00:23:07The pounding
00:23:07in my blood give
00:23:09gives me the answer.
00:23:10Dad!
00:23:12Dad!
00:23:12Dad!
00:23:13Dad!
00:23:13Dad!
00:23:14Dad!
00:23:16Dad!
00:23:19The majestic maid
00:23:21decorated with medals
00:23:22gives me a solemn salute.
00:23:24I thought God
00:23:26heard my prayers
00:23:27and brought Dad back.
00:23:29But that cold
00:23:30purple heart
00:23:31tells me
00:23:32I'll never feel
00:23:33his hug again.
00:23:40Captain Leo
00:23:41protected our country
00:23:42with his life.
00:23:43This honor belongs
00:23:44to him
00:23:44and to his only daughter
00:23:46Leonie.
00:23:47The major pulls out
00:23:48a thick paper bag.
00:23:50Inside is $5,000
00:23:52from my dad's
00:23:53military pension.
00:23:55I don't know
00:23:55how much that is
00:23:56but I hear the adults
00:23:58saying it could buy
00:23:59a mountain of bread
00:24:00covered in sugar
00:24:01and jam.
00:24:03Aunt Grace
00:24:04and Uncle Thomas
00:24:05pop out of nowhere.
00:24:06One second
00:24:07they want to throw me
00:24:08into the wild
00:24:08and the next
00:24:09they put on fake smiles
00:24:10inside a dragging home.
00:24:12Uncle Thomas grips
00:24:13my arm like an iron vis.
00:24:15I know he doesn't
00:24:16want me.
00:24:17He wants that blood money.
00:24:20Grandma Ada
00:24:21acts like a lioness
00:24:22protecting her cub
00:24:24and rips up my sleeve.
00:24:25Those rotting frostbites
00:24:27and bruises
00:24:27look so layering
00:24:29in the sunlight.
00:24:30Look sir!
00:24:31Living with these
00:24:31two heartless scumbags,
00:24:32Leonie starves,
00:24:34freezes and gets beaten
00:24:34every single day.
00:24:36It's absolutely
00:24:37heartbreaking!
00:24:43You!
00:24:46How dare you
00:24:47treat a hero's
00:24:48only daughter
00:24:49like an animal!
00:24:52Aunt Grace is still lying.
00:24:54She points at my
00:24:55bloody wounds
00:24:55and lies with a
00:24:56straight face
00:24:57that I fell while playing.
00:24:58But I see the neighbors
00:24:59shaking their heads.
00:25:00They all know
00:25:01it's not true.
00:25:03Bullshit!
00:25:04I saw you buy
00:25:05new leather boots
00:25:06in the city
00:25:06with the military pay
00:25:07while you made
00:25:08this poor kid
00:25:08gnaw on spoiled
00:25:09potato peels
00:25:09in the snow.
00:25:10Yeah!
00:25:11She even lost
00:25:12a kid in the barn
00:25:12to beat her!
00:25:13We all heard the scream!
00:25:15The major's face
00:25:16is as dark
00:25:17as a stormy sky.
00:25:18He waves his
00:25:19white-gloved hand
00:25:19and orders their arrest.
00:25:21Uncle Thomas
00:25:22is taken away,
00:25:23but Aunt Grace
00:25:24avoids arrest
00:25:24because she has a baby
00:25:25to take care of.
00:25:29Watching the jeep
00:25:30drive away,
00:25:30I don't feel
00:25:31the thrill of revenge.
00:25:32I just think
00:25:33that maybe justice
00:25:34really does come
00:25:35to this desolate life.
00:25:39I thought with $5,000
00:25:41my new home
00:25:42would be safe.
00:25:43I never expected
00:25:44trouble to come
00:25:45so fast.
00:25:46Miss Ella bursts
00:25:47through the door
00:25:47and her stare
00:25:48at that pile of cash
00:25:49is even scarier
00:25:51than Aunt Grace's.
00:25:53I'm carrying
00:25:54the only heir
00:25:55to this family.
00:25:56We should get
00:25:57half of that $5,000.
00:25:59James keeps his head down.
00:26:01For money,
00:26:01he doesn't even dare
00:26:03look at his sick brother.
00:26:05They aren't trying
00:26:06to steal money.
00:26:07They're trying
00:26:07to steal my last memory
00:26:09of my dad.
00:26:10Nobody is touching
00:26:11this money,
00:26:12including you.
00:26:14From now on,
00:26:15we live our own lives.
00:26:17Get out of my house!
00:26:19For me,
00:26:20Grandma kicks
00:26:21her own son
00:26:21out of the house.
00:26:22She rubs my head
00:26:24and says,
00:26:25as long as she's here,
00:26:27no one will touch
00:26:28a single hair
00:26:29on my head.
00:26:35Grandma Ada
00:26:36locks the money
00:26:37in an iron box
00:26:38under the bed.
00:26:39She tells me
00:26:40that money
00:26:41could buy
00:26:41lots of pretty clothes
00:26:43and candy.
00:26:44But my dad
00:26:45traded his life
00:26:46for it,
00:26:47so we can't
00:26:48waste a single penny.
00:26:51Dad's gut-ranking
00:26:53coughs come
00:26:53from the back room.
00:26:56He begs Mom
00:26:57from his sick bed
00:26:58to stop worrying
00:26:59about him
00:27:00and to save
00:27:01the last bite
00:27:01of food for me.
00:27:19The cracked earth
00:27:21in the Blackwood Forest
00:27:22looks like
00:27:23countless mouths
00:27:23laughing at our poverty.
00:27:25Starving people
00:27:26have stripped away
00:27:27every chewable piece
00:27:28of tree bark
00:27:29in this hell hole.
00:27:30Mom leans
00:27:31on her stick,
00:27:32wandering the wasteland
00:27:33in despair.
00:27:34Just as Mom
00:27:35is about to collapse,
00:27:38I trip hard
00:27:39over a tree root
00:27:40in the flying dust.
00:27:46I actually find
00:27:47a few heavy,
00:27:48dirty,
00:27:49weird-looking stones.
00:27:53Mom says
00:27:54they're useless rocks
00:27:56and tells me
00:27:57to throw them away.
00:27:58But right as she
00:27:59reaches out,
00:28:00something weird
00:28:01happens again.
00:28:05The festwick
00:28:06dies on the spot
00:28:07and rolls right
00:28:09to Mom's feet.
00:28:11Aunt Grace
00:28:12called me a jinx.
00:28:13But now,
00:28:15God himself
00:28:16has delivered
00:28:17dinner to me.
00:28:27Mom is finally smiling.
00:28:30When she smiles,
00:28:31the wrinkles around
00:28:32her eyes look like
00:28:33pretty flowers.
00:28:35If good luck
00:28:36is real,
00:28:37I want to give it
00:28:38all to the people
00:28:39who treat me well.
00:28:42But this is just
00:28:44the beginning.
00:28:44I actually
00:28:46dig up some lumpy
00:28:47white roots
00:28:48from the dirt
00:28:48that smell amazing.
00:28:51Mom says
00:28:52they're wild mushrooms.
00:28:54They smell so good.
00:28:56I don't know
00:28:57what they are,
00:28:58but Mom says
00:28:59we can sell them
00:28:59for money,
00:29:00so they must be good.
00:29:03Golden grease bubbles
00:29:04in the pan.
00:29:06The white mushrooms
00:29:07Mom sliced.
00:29:09Release an incredible,
00:29:11mind-blowing smell
00:29:12in the heat.
00:29:14Even bed-roan
00:29:15Papa Arthur
00:29:15can't help
00:29:16but sit up.
00:29:23You're clearly
00:29:24an angel
00:29:25bringing good luck,
00:29:26yet they call you
00:29:26a witch-bringing disaster.
00:29:28What a bunch
00:29:29of blind idiots.
00:29:30But the smell
00:29:31brings trouble, too.
00:29:33Miss Ella bursts in,
00:29:35drooling so much
00:29:36it almost drips
00:29:37into our pot.
00:29:38She points to the air
00:29:40in her belly
00:29:41and demands
00:29:41the biggest bowl
00:29:42of meat.
00:29:45This time,
00:29:46Grandma Ada
00:29:47doesn't even look back.
00:29:49The heavy,
00:29:50bloody meat-crawber
00:29:51in 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
00:29:57into my yard
00:29:58and I'll chop
00:29:58your feet off.
00:29:59Get lost!
00:30:03This is the first time
00:30:05I've ever had
00:30:06a full stomach.
00:30:07I don't have to shiver
00:30:08in a freezing haystack
00:30:09and no one
00:30:10is pulling my hair.
00:30:12I eat the delicious chicken
00:30:13and the air smells
00:30:15like pure happiness.
00:30:33Papa Arthur says
00:30:35his lungs feel warm
00:30:36and he can finally
00:30:37bleep easier.
00:30:39Mom says
00:30:40those white mushrooms
00:30:42we found
00:30:42will definitely
00:30:43sell for a good price.
00:30:45If we can buy medicine,
00:30:47Papa will be saved!
00:30:50The blowing yellow sand
00:30:52can't hide
00:30:52how run down
00:30:53the market is.
00:30:55Mom and I
00:30:55huddle in a corner,
00:30:56carefully laying out
00:30:57those lumpy white roots.
00:30:59I don't know it yet,
00:31:00but these wild mushrooms
00:31:02are called
00:31:02white gold
00:31:03on the tables
00:31:04of rich city folks.
00:31:06And then she started
00:31:07begging her cousin Mark.
00:31:09She kept pulling
00:31:11on his sleeve
00:31:12and crying.
00:31:13I'm sorry.
00:31:14She wanted
00:31:15Mark Uncle
00:31:16to get Thomas
00:31:17out of jail.
00:31:24Mark is impatiently
00:31:26trying to push her away.
00:31:28Then he notices us
00:31:29in the corner.
00:31:32A Aunt Grace
00:31:34blames me
00:31:34for all her tragedies.
00:31:39Leone!
00:31:40You're the reason
00:31:42my life is ruined!
00:31:46Aunt Grace's face
00:31:48is uglier
00:31:49than dead bark
00:31:50in the Blackwood Forest.
00:31:52For the $5,000
00:31:53she brought
00:31:54her bully cousin Mark
00:31:55who works
00:31:56at the town hall.
00:31:58They stare
00:31:59at Mom and me
00:32:00like starving wolves.
00:32:04Mom and I
00:32:05guard our stall.
00:32:06It's our only hope
00:32:07to buy Papa's medicine.
00:32:14But Mark
00:32:15comes right up
00:32:16and kicks
00:32:17our basket over.
00:32:19Mark yells
00:32:20like crazy
00:32:20in the market
00:32:21framing us
00:32:22for selling
00:32:22deadly poisonous mushrooms.
00:32:24Right in front
00:32:25of everyone
00:32:26he crushes
00:32:27the white mushrooms
00:32:28we worked so hard
00:32:29to find
00:32:29just like stepping
00:32:30on trash.
00:32:31Mark grabs
00:32:32the grey stones
00:32:33I found
00:32:33calling us
00:32:34money hungry scammers.
00:32:36With a loud bang
00:32:37he smashes
00:32:38the rocks
00:32:38onto the ground.
00:32:39The sound
00:32:40of them breaking
00:32:41is the sound
00:32:42of my heart breaking.
00:32:43The crowd
00:32:44believes Mark.
00:32:45They point at us
00:32:46calling us
00:32:47shameless.
00:32:48Their insults
00:32:49almost drown
00:32:50Mom and me.
00:32:51We're not
00:32:52scamming anyone.
00:32:54These really
00:32:55aren't
00:32:55poisonous mushrooms.
00:32:57That's not true.
00:32:58We're not lying.
00:33:02Mark doesn't care
00:33:03about poisonous
00:33:04mushrooms at all.
00:33:06He just wants
00:33:07the $5,000
00:33:08Papa left us.
00:33:09He threatens
00:33:10Mom like a snake
00:33:11saying if we don't
00:33:13pay protection money
00:33:14he'll make us
00:33:15disappear from
00:33:16Oak Haven for good.
00:33:17To protect
00:33:18my life-saving money
00:33:19Mom firmly
00:33:20rejects this
00:33:21hungry wolf.
00:33:22But it brings
00:33:23devastating revenge.
00:33:25Mark goes crazy.
00:33:27He flips our stall
00:33:28and crushes the
00:33:29white mushrooms
00:33:30that could save
00:33:31Papa Arthur
00:33:31into mud.
00:33:33I scream and pray
00:33:34for God to punish
00:33:35these bad people
00:33:36but all I get
00:33:37is Aunt Grace's
00:33:38piercing cacker.
00:33:39You bad people.
00:33:41God is watching.
00:33:43He will definitely
00:33:43punish you.
00:33:45She points at my nose
00:33:46calling me a naive
00:33:48little idiot
00:33:49saying even Jesus
00:33:51couldn't save us now.
00:33:53Stop.
00:33:57I follow
00:33:58everyone's gaze
00:33:59and see two men
00:34:00walking in from
00:34:01the crowd.
00:34:02They dress
00:34:03completely differently
00:34:04from the townsfolk
00:34:05and they look
00:34:05incredibly distinguished.
00:34:14What the hell
00:34:15are you blind
00:34:16idiots doing?
00:34:19The old man
00:34:21with glasses
00:34:21kneels in the mud
00:34:22holding the crushed
00:34:23pieces.
00:34:24His hands are shaking
00:34:25worse than dead leaves
00:34:26in autumn.
00:34:27I can feel how angry
00:34:28and heartbroken he is.
00:34:29At the time
00:34:30I still didn't know
00:34:31just how precious
00:34:32those crushed
00:34:33white mushrooms were.
00:34:38You fool!
00:34:40These are top
00:34:41great white struffles
00:34:42that even the royal family
00:34:43pays a fortune to find
00:34:45and you crush them?
00:34:47Mark's face
00:34:47instantly drained
00:34:48of color.
00:34:49Too terrified
00:34:50to speak.
00:34:51Meanwhile
00:34:52Mr. Sterling
00:34:53with his leopard cane
00:34:54slowly walks
00:34:56toward the gray stones
00:34:57Aunt Grace smashed.
00:34:59In that moment
00:35:00I think the sun
00:35:01fell into the stone.
00:35:02Beneath the dull gray surface
00:35:04a dreamy deep purple light
00:35:06shines out.
00:35:07Mr. Sterling says
00:35:08it's an extremely rare
00:35:10natural amethyst
00:35:11geog.
00:35:12Mr. Sterling goes crazy.
00:35:14He pulls out a thick stack
00:35:15of hundred dollar bills
00:35:17enough to buy
00:35:18half the town
00:35:19and shoves it
00:35:19into mom's hands.
00:35:21He says he'd give
00:35:21his entire fortune
00:35:23to buy all the trash stones
00:35:25I found.
00:35:25Seeing things go bad
00:35:30Mark and Aunt Grace
00:35:31try to sneak away
00:35:32into the crowd
00:35:33like cowards.
00:35:34But the two men
00:35:36in black suits
00:35:37grab them by the collars
00:35:38and throw them hard
00:35:40into a filthy
00:35:40stinking mud puddle.
00:35:46Mom's hands
00:35:47are shaking so much
00:35:49she can barely
00:35:50hold the heavy
00:35:50stack of cash.
00:35:51She can't believe
00:35:53the rotten mushrooms
00:35:54and broken stones
00:35:55I casually picked up
00:35:57in the blackwood forest
00:35:58are actually worth
00:35:59more than gold.
00:36:01Mr. Sterling
00:36:02takes off
00:36:02his expensive top hat.
00:36:04He says
00:36:05I'm an angel
00:36:06blessed by God.
00:36:07The villagers
00:36:08who used to point
00:36:09and gloss up
00:36:10are all shocked
00:36:11silent by this
00:36:12massive fortune.
00:36:14You just found
00:36:15these lying around?
00:36:17Good lord
00:36:18this child is
00:36:19absolutely
00:36:20a reincarnated angel.
00:36:22Only someone
00:36:23blessed by God
00:36:23could have such
00:36:24unbelievable luck.
00:36:25Mr. Sterling
00:36:26I think we have
00:36:28an obligation
00:36:28to help this child
00:36:29get the compensation
00:36:30she deserves
00:36:31and make these scumbags
00:36:32face their punishment.
00:36:34The well-dressed
00:36:35lawyer steps forward.
00:36:37He calculates
00:36:38our damages
00:36:38at $3,500.
00:36:41That's an
00:36:42astrosnomical price.
00:36:44Enough to buy
00:36:45the whole town
00:36:45of Oakhaven.
00:36:47Mark doesn't want
00:36:48to pay the compensation.
00:36:50He tries to run
00:36:52towards a speeding
00:36:52coal train
00:36:53to hop on
00:36:54and escape.
00:36:58The bodyguard
00:36:59quickly drags him
00:37:00back from the train
00:37:00and pins him
00:37:01in the mud.
00:37:02He can't run anymore.
00:37:03The sheriff arrives
00:37:04and tells Aunt Grace
00:37:05that if she doesn't
00:37:06get the money together
00:37:07in 48 hours
00:37:08she'll not only
00:37:09hand over
00:37:09Papa's farm
00:37:10that she stole
00:37:10but she'll also
00:37:11rot in jail
00:37:12for the rest
00:37:13of her life.
00:37:20Late at night
00:37:20in Oakhaven
00:37:21the wind tears
00:37:22at the ground
00:37:22like a mad beast.
00:37:23The old roof shakes
00:37:24the drafty windows
00:37:25creep
00:37:26but in the flickering
00:37:26light of the
00:37:27carousel lamp
00:37:27Aunt Grace is scarier
00:37:28than the storm.
00:37:29I found a picture
00:37:30today
00:37:30a man in a uniform.
00:37:31I asked who he was.
00:37:33She said it was nothing
00:37:33just someone who used
00:37:34to live here.
00:37:35The old roof shakes
00:37:36the drafty windows
00:37:38crank.
00:37:39The $3,500 collection
00:37:42notice chokes her
00:37:44like a noose.
00:37:45Instead of repenting
00:37:46Aunt Grace just stares
00:37:48at the document
00:37:48with the red thumbprint
00:37:49plotting to steal
00:37:51the blood-soaked
00:37:51dushing money
00:37:52under Grandma
00:37:53Ada's bed.
00:37:55Lightning flashes
00:37:56lighting up
00:37:57Aunt Grace's
00:37:58soaked face.
00:37:59She raises cold
00:38:00plizers
00:38:02snips the wire fence
00:38:03and sneaks
00:38:04onto our farm.
00:38:21It rained so hard
00:38:23that night.
00:38:24The noise keeps me awake.
00:38:26I get up for a drink
00:38:28of water.
00:38:29Having no idea
00:38:30danger is so close.
00:38:40The wind is so strong
00:38:42outside.
00:38:44I'm afraid the rain
00:38:45will ruin the wood floor
00:38:46so I drag a big
00:38:48iron bucket over
00:38:49and force the window
00:38:50shut tight.
00:38:51I think closing the window
00:38:53will keep the storm out
00:38:54but I don't notice
00:38:56the old frame
00:38:57is rotten.
00:38:58The second I turn around
00:39:00Aunt Grace pries it open.
00:39:10I don't know
00:39:11the window is broken
00:39:12and might fall
00:39:13if opened again.
00:39:15Aunt Grace risks her life
00:39:17for that money.
00:39:18She squeezes inside
00:39:20scraping the skin
00:39:22right off her waist.
00:39:25The metal clangs loudly
00:39:27in the dead of night.
00:39:28Aunt Grace flails
00:39:30like a funny puppet
00:39:31desperately trying
00:39:33to grab something
00:39:34to steady herself.
00:39:35Please don't fall.
00:39:36But she grabs
00:39:36a wobbly shell.
00:39:46Grandma Ada taught me
00:39:48that quick live
00:39:49boils like a kettle
00:39:50when it hits water.
00:39:52Aunt Grace screams
00:39:53so miserably
00:39:55but
00:39:57she wouldn't be hurt
00:39:58if she didn't sneak in
00:39:59through the window
00:39:59at midnight.
00:40:04Aunt Grace screams
00:40:06smashes through the back door
00:40:08and plunges
00:40:09into the terrestrial rain.
00:40:10The quick line
00:40:11boils on her face.
00:40:13The burning blinds her
00:40:14making her stumble
00:40:16through the mud.
00:40:18Help!
00:40:19Even the farm dog
00:40:21avoids that stinky pit.
00:40:23Aunt Grace used to call me
00:40:25a smelly beggar
00:40:26but now
00:40:27even the skunk
00:40:28living in the pit
00:40:29is disgusted by her.
00:40:32Aunt Grace
00:40:32crawls out of the cesspool
00:40:34her mind
00:40:35still obsessed
00:40:36with the money.
00:40:37When she finds
00:40:38the heavy
00:40:39locked metal box
00:40:40in the junk pile
00:40:41her burned eyes
00:40:42beamed scarier
00:40:43than the demons.
00:40:44A locked box!
00:40:46The money must be inside!
00:40:57The smell of gunpowder
00:40:59overpowers the rain
00:41:00and Grandma Ada's
00:41:02furious shout
00:41:03tears through the night.
00:41:05Aunt Grace actually
00:41:06hits the gas
00:41:07through a hail of bullets.
00:41:09In the pouring rain
00:41:10Aunt Grace laughs
00:41:12like a dying maniac
00:41:14in a speeding truck.
00:41:22She hugs the metal box
00:41:23to her chest
00:41:24thinking she holds
00:41:26all the wealth
00:41:26in the world
00:41:27and has finally
00:41:28beaten everyone.
00:41:32Grandma Ada
00:41:33holds her shotgun
00:41:34anxious to chase her.
00:41:36I stand barefoot
00:41:37in the mud
00:41:38and gently tug
00:41:39her wet shirt
00:41:40to remind her.
00:41:41Uncle Thomas
00:41:41told me before
00:41:42that whenever it storms
00:41:43the wooden bridge
00:41:45over there floods
00:41:46completely.
00:41:50La la la
00:41:51la la la la
00:41:55The truck in the storm
00:41:56is like a wild beast
00:41:57out of control.
00:41:59I.E. Grace screams
00:42:00madly 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
00:42:13Aunt Grace doesn't die
00:42:15but she lands somewhere
00:42:17worse than hell
00:42:18Major Evan's
00:42:20military restricted zone
00:42:23Money
00:42:25My money
00:42:26A dozen black Thompson
00:42:28submachine 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
00:42:37Where do you think
00:42:38you're driving
00:42:39Ms. Grace?
00:42:47It's over
00:42:49It's all over
00:42:52The stench from the truck
00:42:54is more nauseating
00:42:55than a rotting corpse
00:42:56in the black forest.
00:42:58It's the smell
00:42:59of cesspooled water
00:43:00mixed with Aunt Grace's
00:43:01food
00:43:02Even as the MPs
00:43:04drag her into the mud
00:43:05She clings to the heavy metal box
00:43:08While Aunt Grace dreams
00:43:09of being rich
00:43:10Grandma Ada arrives with me
00:43:12on her roaring tractor
00:43:14Grandma looks at Aunt Grace
00:43:15in the mud
00:43:16and laughs with sheer contempt
00:43:18because the real pension money
00:43:20rests safely
00:43:21under the handsome family's bed
00:43:27Grandma Ada tells
00:43:28Major Evans the truth
00:43:30and he pries open the heavy padlock
00:43:33with the dagger
00:43:33With a loud clank
00:43:35Aunt Grace's dream
00:43:37shatters completely
00:43:48Stealing private property
00:43:50Go join your husband in prison
00:43:52Take her away
00:44:04My once arrogant aunt and uncle
00:44:07now look like two cornered rabbits
00:44:10facing 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
00:44:23like a guardian angel
00:44:25Uncle Thomas' mental defenses
00:44:27completely break down
00:44:29and he roars at Aunt Grace
00:44:30Facing 20 years in prison
00:44:33he doesn't hesitate
00:44:34to sign his name
00:44:44The gavel bangs down hard
00:44:46The judge declares
00:44:48that the farm
00:44:49and all the wealth
00:44:50Dad left me
00:44:51are finally back in my hands
00:44:53Now
00:45:00The judge usually looks so mean
00:45:03and everyone is scared of him
00:45:06But today
00:45:07he bends down
00:45:09and 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
00:45:27and pinch my nose
00:45:30Remember that freezing barn
00:45:32you kicked Leonie into
00:45:33on that stormy day?
00:45:35From today on
00:45:36that broken barn is yours
00:45:38The guards can't stand
00:45:40Aunt Grace's sour stanch
00:45:42They drag her out
00:45:43and her screams echo through the hall
00:45:47The adults surround me
00:45:48smiling and calling me
00:45:50a lucky little angel
00:45:51But I don't care
00:45:53All I know
00:45:55is that Grandma's hand-holding mind
00:45:57is big and warm
00:45:58and no one will ever
00:45:59force me into
00:46:00a freezing barn again
00:46:04I used to think
00:46:05this dirt could only grow
00:46:07hard rocks
00:46:07and starved bugs
00:46:09Only today do I realize
00:46:11it can grow so much wheat
00:46:13that looks like pure gold
00:46:17Grandma laughed so loudly today
00:46:23Good girl, look
00:46:24these are all gifts from God
00:46:26that 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
00:46:34Miss Ella yells at James
00:46:36They want this most fertile land in town
00:46:39Miss 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 won't give it to us
00:46:55we'll just take it ourselves
00:46:56Take it?
00:46:57How?
00:46:58That land is in the name of that little bastard Leonie
00:47:05Then we'll find a way to switch the deeds
00:47:07Greedy snakes
00:47:09Greedy snakes can never fill their bottomless pit of desire
00:47:12Blood ties don't bring family love
00:47:15They just become an excuse to steal
00:47:22Greedy James brings his dark secrets
00:47:25and knocks on the back door of power
00:47:27just like a sewer rat
00:47:33I only learn later
00:47:35that there's a scary magic in the adult world
00:47:39If you secretly give the mayor a special gift
00:47:42your wishes come true
00:47:47James uses tobacco and money to trade
00:47:50for the Fertilile farm under my name
00:48:04James
00:48:06Your appetite is way bigger than your dying brothers
00:48:23Power completely surrenders to money
00:48:28The mayor accepts James' gift
00:48:49Take it James
00:48:50With this requisition order
00:48:52That Fertile land is yours by sunrise tomorrow
00:49:11This 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
00:49:29because they want to trade
00:49:31a barren wasteland
00:49:32for our golden wheat field
00:49:37Trade?
00:49:38James, do you think I'm an idiot?
00:49:40Not even weeds can grow on that land
00:49:42Don't waste your breath on her
00:49:44Quick, pull up the boundary markers
00:49:46and put ours in
00:49:46This is our land now
00:49:48Grandma nailed that marker herself
00:49:50When it falls
00:49:51my heart hurts so much
00:49:53You robbers
00:49:55I'll fight you to the death!
00:49:58Those two guns are so, so close to Grandma's head
00:50:01For the first time
00:50:03I realize a hunting rifle isn't scary at all
00:50:05Mrs. Hanson, calm down
00:50:07or we'll arrest you for obstructing justice
00:50:10No!
00:50:11Don't kill my Grandma!
00:50:12No!
00:50:13What's really scary is when others point guns at us
00:50:23Just sign it, Mrs. Hanson
00:50:25You don't want this little girl watching you get taken away, do you?
00:50:28Grandma Ada looks at me crying in fear
00:50:32She closes her eyes
00:50:33and agrees to sign the contract
00:50:38I grip Grandma's clothes tight
00:50:40I'm worried she's in danger
00:50:42I see her eyes turn red
00:50:45and my heart aches
00:50:46but I don't know what to do
00:50:56You old hag
00:50:57Take this unlucky little stray
00:50:59and get all my property right now
00:51:01Go eat dirt in that rocky wasteland
00:51:09We move to the place they call the Rocky Land
00:51:13There's nothing here but bare rocks
00:51:15and cold wind
00:51:19Grandma Ada is frowning so hard
00:51:28This year's harvest is totally ruined, sweetie
00:51:32We might starve
00:51:34I see how sad Grandma is
00:51:37and my heart feels like it's crushed by a rock
00:51:39but I don't want to make her sadder
00:51:42I remember Grandma Ada said
00:51:44As long as there is hope
00:51:45there's nothing to fear
00:51:47Don't worry, Grandma
00:51:48I can grow pretty flowers even in the rocks
00:51:50I just want to do something
00:51:53Even if it's just digging a little hole
00:51:55I believe my luck will definitely help us
00:51:59Right then, something weird happens
00:52:02The ground starts shaking violently
00:52:04I feel the rocks under my feet
00:52:07jumping like they're alive
00:52:08Danger!
00:52:09Leonis, get out of the way!
00:52:16The ground shakes like a thousand wild horses running under my feet
00:52:21My feet go numb
00:52:22I shut my eyes tight thinking I really messed up
00:52:26and dug up a sleeping demon with my rusty little shovel
00:52:29I've never seen such a scary and awesome sight
00:52:33The black liquid shoots up so high and 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 and ruins my only clean dress
00:52:46I look at Grandma nervously
00:52:48terrified she's going to blow up over this awful prank
00:52:52But I notice Grandma Ada isn't mad at all
00:52:55Her weathered face instantly twists into this extreme, almost crazy joy
00:53:00This isn't muddy water! It's crude oil! It's oil! Thank God we struck oil!
00:53:07I don't know what oil is, but I can taste Grandma's happy tears
00:53:12In this black rain, we hug each other so tight
00:53:19Not long after that black rain, a 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 step out of the cars
00:53:51They use weird gadgets to dig and measure all over the place
00:53:58Mr. Sterling, initial surveys show the most massive, shallow oil field in the entire state
00:54:05is hidden right under here! The value is immeasurable!
00:54:09I don't understand what they're saying
00:54:11But I see Mr. Sterling pull out a really big piece of paper
00:54:15with lots and lots of zeros on it
00:54:18Starting today, an oil company named after you is officially founded
00:54:22Congratulations, my little black gold Tycara
00:54:24In that moment, I feel like I'm dreaming
00:54:27Mr. Sterling calls me a black gold Tycone
00:54:30I don't really get what that means
00:54:32but he tells me we'll never go hungry again
00:54:37Mr. Sterling tells me God rewards the good
00:54:40but also punishes the bad guys who bully us without mercy
00:54:44Once I use this money to buy off the state senator
00:54:47I'll get out of this hell hole and be a real big shot in Washington
00:54:52He sends the toughest lawyers and cops to find that evil mayor
00:54:57Those gentlemen in black suits burst right into that room full of lies
00:55:02Mr. Mayor, this is all the evidence of your corruption, bribery, and abuse of power
00:55:06You're under arrest
00:55:07Just like superheroes dropping from the sky in movies
00:55:11Seeing the bad guy get punished makes me feel so good
00:55:14This can't be happening, let go of me, I can give you money
00:55:18Turns out, there really is justice in this world
00:55:25Aunt Ella and Uncle James stand on the fertile farm they stole
00:55:29They look at the rocky land they tossed away like trash
00:55:32Now swarming with rich people
00:55:34And they are going absolutely crazy with jealousy
00:55:37Damn it! That land was ours! We threw it away!
00:55:43At least we still have the best wheat field in town
00:55:45We'll strike it rich in the fall anyway
00:55:47That little bit of oil they have will probably dry up real soon
00:55:51Miss Ella is still dreaming of getting rich
00:55:54But she doesn't know that God's judgment never spares a greedy soul
00:55:59I see a huge dark cloud flying in
00:56:04As it gets closer, I realize it's not a cloud at all
00:56:08It's millions of gross bugs
00:56:21No! My wheat field!
00:56:25James' screams echo across the empty farm
00:56:28That golden wheat field is just completely eaten up by the bugs
00:56:35The bugs eat all the crops
00:56:38Miss Ellie kneels in the messy mud without a shred of dignity
00:56:42Like a soulless corpse
00:56:43Miss Ella cries so hard
00:56:46She probably doesn't get why God's bugs only ate the fertile wheat field they stole from us
00:56:51It's gone! It's all gone! We're bankrupt!
00:57:01A lot of big machines I've never seen before arrive on this rocky land
00:57:06Mr. Sterling says they'll make us so much money I won't be able to spend it all in a lifetime
00:57:20So many people are here today and they're all cheering
00:57:23I'm so happy because Grandma Ida and I have new clothes on
00:57:28She takes my hand and we cut the red ribbon
00:57:34Grandma said flowers planted in rocks bloom brighter than any other
00:57:39Now, our harsh winter is finally over completely
00:57:48On this land, we live a peaceful and wealthy life
00:57:55But I don't know that while we smile in the sun
00:57:58A venomous snake in the dark is already eyeing us
00:58:03The news of the oil field attracts someone even greedier than a wild wolf
00:58:09Forced my downs are too low class
00:58:11All I need is to snatch Leone's custody
00:58:14And this oil field is mine
00:58:17For money and revenge
00:58:20They sell Grandma Ada and me out
00:58:23Ada is vulgar and mentally unstable
00:58:30She carries a hunting rifle everywhere
00:58:33Has violent tendencies
00:58:35And constantly abuses Leone
00:58:38Excellent!
00:58:40She's unfit to raise Leone
00:58:41I'll be taking over her custody
00:58:45McClain files a petition
00:58:46To change guardianship at the court
00:58:49Shattering my peaceful life
00:58:52With Grandma Ada
00:58:55It's a rare, sweet moment
00:58:57But the screech of brakes shatters the peace
00:59:00Two bearers step out of the car
00:59:03And walk straight up to Grandma Ada
00:59:05Hello Mrs. Hanson
00:59:06We're from the city court
00:59:07Someone reported you for child abuse
00:59:09And is demanding you hand over Leone's custody
00:59:11Grandma Ada is stunned
00:59:13Once she snaps out of it
00:59:15She loudly protests
00:59:17And swears she never abused any child
00:59:20I swear on my life
00:59:21Grandma Ada is the best person in the world
00:59:24She has never abused me
00:59:27Sorry, we're just here to notify you
00:59:29Direct any questions to the hearing next Wednesday
00:59:31Until then, you are forbidden from transferring any assets under the girl's name
00:59:35But my promise is useless
00:59:37Because everything will be decided in court
00:59:41The hearing proceeds as scheduled
00:59:43For Grandma Ada and me
00:59:45This isn't a fair trial at all
00:59:47It's a brutal, one-sided execution
00:59:49McClain hired top-tilt lawyer Barry with serious cash
00:59:53While we could only find Mr. Sterling
00:59:55Mrs. Hanson
00:59:56Do you have any idea how to raise a multi-million dollar girl?
01:00:01Or is your only skill abusing people and feeding pigs?
01:00:04You!
01:00:05Lawyer Barry, you should know that you need to present evidence for your claims
01:00:09Of course, don't you worry about that
01:00:11Lawyer Barry uses fancy legal talk
01:00:14To paint Grandma Ada as a violent, ignorant village woman
01:00:18What's worse, the devil's accomplices take the stand
01:00:22Your Honor, I saw with my own eyes how Ada forced Leonid to sleep in the barn and eat scraps
01:00:30You two animals, shut up!
01:00:33Ella, you're crossing the line
01:00:35James, is this how you treat your own mother?
01:00:37They take every single horrific thing they did to me
01:00:41And pin it all on Grandma Ada, who loves me
01:00:44Order!
01:00:46If you dare to show contempt of court again
01:00:49I'll have the bailiffs throw you all in jail instantly!
01:00:52The judge has already been bought off by McClain
01:00:55He doesn't listen to a word you say
01:00:57The court leans towards revoking Ada's guardianship
01:01:01Transferring it to McClain's foundation
01:01:03And sending Leonine to a closed boarding school on the East Coast
01:01:08A closed school means I'll be totally at McClain's mercy
01:01:13And our oil wealth will be completely swallowed up
01:01:16I won't go to school! I don't want to leave Grandma Ada!
01:01:23Everyone holds their breath
01:01:25The judge is about to strip Grandma Ada of my custody
01:01:29Whatever is on that paper decides my fate
01:01:33The bad guy's wicked laughs drill into my ears
01:01:37Their dirty revenge is about to succeed
01:01:41Grandma Ada hugs me tight
01:01:43Completely desperate
01:01:45I glare at those monsters through my tears
01:01:48I absolutely can't let them take everything from me
01:01:54I see the massive chandelier crash down
01:01:57Smashing the briefcase next to the judge
01:02:02Countless papers fly everywhere
01:02:04Mr. Sterling grabs some key documents
01:02:07He announces to the courtroom
01:02:09That it's evidence of the judge taking bribes from the sicklein
01:02:13The proof is solid
01:02:15All their dirty deals are exposed
01:02:18Despicable!
01:02:19They ganged up to take Leonie away
01:02:20But now it's all out in the open
01:02:22Their plot failed
01:02:23We're done for
01:02:24Mr. Sterling calls the police
01:02:26McClain's plot is completely ruined
01:02:30And Miss Ella and the others will get what they deserve
01:02:33McClain
01:02:36Your dirty money can buy a judge
01:02:39But it can't buy real justice
01:02:44The bribed judge is taken away by the police
01:02:48I finally return to Grandma Ada
01:02:50And the greedy James and Ella
01:02:52Become abandoned pawns
01:03:07Damn you Ada
01:03:09This isn't over
01:03:11McClain doesn't just let it go
01:03:13He finds the local mafia
01:03:15Ready to use violence
01:03:23Just when we think everything is peaceful again
01:03:26McClain's revenge hits fast
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 and the others
01:03:37We see several cars without license cards
01:03:40Smash through the farm gate like mad bulls
01:03:44Completely blocking our escape
01:03:51They claim McClain 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
01:04:01They'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
01:05:07Grandma Ada has already decided to fight the mafia to the end
01:05:13Grandma Ada has already decided to fight the mafia to the end
01:05:24The mobsters get ready to strike
01:05:28But Grandma Ada
01:05:32Is faster
01:05:35Damn it
01:05:36They have guns
01:05:38You scumbags want to steal my granddaughter's land?
01:05:42Get off my property right now
01:05:44Or I'll send you to hell
01:05:51To protect me and our home
01:05:54Grandma Odd and Dad Arthur
01:05:56Get into a shootout with the mob
01:06:02But nobody knows that two greedy coyotes
01:06:06Are sneaking into our defenseless 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
01:06:31Catching Leonel is our only leverage
01:06:42The constant gunshots outside
01:06:44Make me super anxious
01:06:46Just then
01:06:47The 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 to protect me
01:07:18Stop fighting you little brat!
01:07:21You're our cash cow!
01:07:22Ella grabs me
01:07:23Clamping a towel soaked in pungent chemicals
01:07:25Tightly 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 to dodge the mob
01:07:37But
01:07:41Martha, wake up!
01:07:46Mother Arthur
01:07:48James and Ella took 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, and I'm all alone in the abandoned mine
01:08:11I'm so scared, but 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 lulled 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
01:08:49What do I do?
01:08:51Save me, Grandma Ada
01:08:53Dad
01:08:56Grandma Ada and the others are trapped
01:08:58The 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
01:09:13I didn't protect Leonese
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, and the others
01:09:43You're out of bullets, right?
01:09:46Say 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?
01:10:17Where is my daughter?
01:10:20Leo!
01:10:22Leonese'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 the venomous McLean's plant
01:10:40And Ella's shameless kidnapping
01:10:42Luckily, Sheriff Harry arrives at the scene
01:10:45And quickly takes down the rest of the mobsters
01:10:51Mrs. Hansen
01:10:52Please forgive me for being late
01:10:53That 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 out west
01:11:10Thank you, Harry
01:11:18But right now
01:11:19The blinding flashlight beam
01:11:21Pins me down like a viper's tongue
01:11:23Catch 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
01:11:44I 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
01:12:04I can almost hear my bones breaking
01:12:07Someone, please save me
01:12:10Who, who is this?
01:12:11Do you have any idea who you're messing with?
01:12:16No, don't kill me
01:12:17You can take the girl
01:12:18She's worth an oil field
01:12:19You'll be rich
01:12:20I hear Ella's terrified voice in the dark
01:12:23Did someone save me?
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
01:12:51Leonith
01:12:52Dad'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
01:13:19Leone
01:13:20My sweet baby
01:13:22Are 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!
01:13:36It's over
01:13:37It's all over
01:13:38No!
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
01:13:58The 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
01:14:21Glane messes everything up
01:14:23After finding out Dad's identity
01:14:26He decides to flee immediately
01:14:30Dammit!
01:14:31Why does he have a military background?
01:14:40McLane 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
01:14:48Now!
01:14:55My dad blocks their way
01:14:57McLane gives the order
01:14:58And the car doesn't slow down
01:15:01They want to run my dad over
01:15:03Facing the speeding beast
01:15:05Dad doesn't panic
01:15:07He calmly pulls out his gun and shoots
01:15:15Dad's perfect breakthrough marksmanship flips the bad guy's car
01:15:21McLane can't escape
01:15:22Don't kill me!
01:15:23I'll give you ten million!
01:15:25Keep your money
01:15:26You'll need it to buy your way into hell
01:15:31McLane stands in the dock in a prison uniform
01:15:34Totally stripped of his former arrogance
01:15:39Dad not only catches McLane himself
01:15:41But also gathers all the evidence of his crimes
01:15:45No elite lawyer can save him now
01:15:49McLane
01:15:51Do you have anything to say?
01:15:54No
01:15:55I confess to my crimes
01:15:58In the end
01:15:59McLane 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
01:16:21They 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
01:16:41Tomorrow is Thanksgiving
01:16:43Our family must have a proper celebration
01:16:46Celebration
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
01:17:27I'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
01:17:58Leonie
01:17:59Your 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
01:18:07Nobody saw this coming
01:18:09My mom is actually Aid Grandma Ada's daughter
01:18:16I hug Grandma Aid tight
01:18:18No, she's my real grandma
01:18:20She's my actual family
01:18:22Grandma 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
01:18:47Thanks to the oil field
01:18:50Everyone in the village
01:18:51Can afford to eat
01:18:52And wear warm clothes
01:18:55Dad plays with me every day
01:18:57I feel like the happiest kid in the world
01:19:02And my grandma Ada
01:19:03She no longer needs her mean disguise
01:19:07She is now the most generous old lady
01:19:10In the whole village
01:19:11Take a break if you're tired
01:19:16Grandma 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, will the city people bully me?
01:19:38Don't worry
01:19:39Dad will protect you
01:19:40I 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
01:19:49That will never fall apart
01:19:50I am so excited to go to school in the city
