The Dons Lucky Charm

Short filmTranscript
00:01Your wife and your lover. You only get to save one. The other falls off the building. Your choice.
00:07If you touch either of them, I'll feed you to dogs piece by piece.
00:10Oh, I believe you. But you still have to choose. Ten seconds. Ten. Nine. Five. Four. Three.
00:20The first person I ever killed never even got to see my face. I survived 18 years and Ian got
00:24smashed into the hospital by a flower pot falling out of nowhere before he could even touch me.
00:28Some people called it a curse. All I knew was that it had saved my life more times than I
00:32could count.
00:32But that same gift also brought me trouble. That night, I got cornered by the Moretti family. Six huge men.
00:39Their leader was Vito Moretti, the Don's nephew. A spoiled idiot desperate to prove himself.
00:44Little wildcat. Heard you bring bad luck. My uncle wants to meet you?
00:48I didn't waste time talking. I shattered the knee of the guy closest to me with one kick. The fight
00:53lasted four minutes.
00:54I took down three of them before the numbers finally started catching up to me. Vito got bored and pulled
00:59out a gun.
01:00The second the barrel pointed at me, brakes screeched at the entrance of the alley.
01:03The car door opened and a man stepped out. No weapon, no words. He just stood there, staring at them
01:08coldly.
01:09The second those men saw his face, they nearly dropped their guns.
01:12Leave.
01:13Just one word. The Moretti men scrambled away like rats. I leaned against the wall, breathing hard while blood ran
01:18down my arm.
01:18Only then did the man finally look at me. He studied me for three seconds, then turned to leave.
01:23Wait. Who are you?
01:25Domenico Valelti.
01:26Everyone in the underground world knew that name. The head of the Valarti family. The real king of Chicago.
01:30My brain started spinning. A man who could scare the Morettis half to death with a single look.
01:34A man powerful enough protect me. I was sick of the slums. Sick of hiding. Sick of surviving day by
01:39day.
01:39Take me with you.
01:40He turned slightly. One corner of his mouth lifting in faint amusement.
01:43And what exactly do you offer in return?
01:45My luck. Haven't you heard? People are fighting over me because of it. Anyone good to me gets lucky. Anyone
01:50who goes against me. You saw what happened. He didn't answer immediately. Those dark eyes scanned me like he was
01:55evaluating Merchancy. Then finally...
01:58Get in the car.
02:01I never expected Domenico to marry me. There was no wedding dress. No guests. No blessings. Just a cold contract.
02:06Two years. Automatic divorce after expiration. In exchange, I'd receive enough money to live comfortably for the rest of my
02:11days.
02:12What's this supposed to mean?
02:13It means you'll play the role of Mrs. Volati.
02:15He handed me a pen.
02:16Sign it.
02:17And I did. I wasn't in a position to negotiate.
02:19On our wedding night, he settled me into a guest room at his lakeside mansion. Then disappeared for three days.
02:24One night, through the crack of his study door, I saw a framed photo of him with another woman.
02:28On the fourth day, his assistant Marco knocked on my door.
02:30Mrs. Volanti? Mr. Volanti wants you ready for tomorrow night's banquet.
02:33I don't want to go.
02:34The Marocci family will be there.
02:35I understood immediately. He wanted the entire underworld to know Volanti had a wife now.
02:40Anyone targeting that girl would shift their attention onto me instead.
02:43I pinned my hair up high and slipped into the black gown he'd sent over.
02:47The woman in the mirror looked every bit like a mafia wife.
02:51Only my eyes still carried the feral edge of the slums.
02:54The banquet was held at a Moretti-owned hotel.
02:56The second Domenico walked into the ballroom holding my hand, every eye turned toward us.
03:00Vito Moretti's face dartened instantly.
03:03Congratulations, Domenico.
03:04So this is the famous goddess of luck, my wife.
03:07Domenico's hand rested against my waist possessively.
03:10Nova.
03:10I spent the entire night smiling like some decorative accessory.
03:13Then the attack happened on the way home.
03:17My first instinct was to duck, but Dominic moved first, dragging me into his arms and shielding my head with
03:22his hand.
03:23His grip was perfectly steady, like this was just another normal day for him.
03:27Marco and the others cleaned up the ambush within four minutes.
03:30You hurt?
03:31Domenico asked after letting me go, checking me quickly for injuries.
03:34I'm fine.
03:35He nodded once.
03:36Drive.
03:37No panic.
03:38No concern.
03:39No extra tenderness.
03:40But that instinctual act of protecting me stirred something deep inside my chest.
03:44I warned myself not to misunderstand things.
03:46I was just a shield.
03:47But over the next year, I still fell for him anyway.
03:49Every banquet, every meeting, every public appearance.
03:52Domenico brought me everywhere.
03:53The entire underground world saw how protected and cherished I supposedly was.
03:57And little by little, I got to know him.
03:59He'd been raised as the family heir since childhood.
04:01At 22, he inherited the Valenti Empire and spent five years turning it into the biggest criminal organization in Chicago.
04:07He killed without hesitation, but he never harmed innocent people.
04:11He had principles, twisted, bloody principles, but principles nonetheless.
04:15One night, he came home with blood on his suit that clearly wasn't his.
04:19He went straight into his study and didn't come out again.
04:21I brought him a cup of hot tea and knocked.
04:24Come in.
04:25When he saw the tea, he looked momentarily surprised.
04:29You don't need to do this.
04:30I know.
04:31Couldn't sleep anyway.
04:33What happened tonight?
04:34The Morettos tried planting explosives at one of our docks.
04:37We got the workers out in time, but one man's spine was crushed during the attack.
04:41What'll happen to him?
04:42He'll never walk again.
04:43You've probably seen this kind of thing a lot.
04:46Yes.
04:47But you never get used to it.
04:48For the first time, he didn't feel like some untouchable mafia boss.
04:51He just looked like a man drowning in blood and betrayal who still somehow held on to the last scraps
04:55of his humanity.
04:56And I thought, maybe one day, I could truly become part of his world.
04:58Then I overheard something I never should have heard.
05:01I was bringing him a blanket when I heard Marco speaking through the study door.
05:04Elena's been complaining again.
05:06Says she doesn't want to stay in Switzerland anymore.
05:08Tell her to wait a little longer.
05:10Once the Morettis are dealt with, there won't be any threats left.
05:13I'll divorce Nova and bring Alima home.
05:15I froze.
05:18Nova's existence is valuable.
05:20Her luck has helped us a lot.
05:22Every operation she attends ends with fewer losses than expected.
05:25Give me another six months.
05:27I'll settle everything and marry Elena.
05:29And what about Nova?
05:30What happens to her?
05:31She'll get the compensation she deserves.
05:35This was always just a transaction.
05:37I stepped back silently and walked away.
05:39Then stumbled into the bathroom.
05:42Of course it was a transaction.
05:44It was all written down in black and white.
05:45You signed the contract.
05:46Took the money.
05:47What else did you expect?
05:48What did you think you were?
05:49His wife.
05:50His lover.
05:50You're just a useful tool.
05:51A lucky charm.
05:52A target standing in for the woman he actually loves.
05:54Then finally lifted my head and forced myself calm again.
05:57I decided to leave.
05:58Because the second I realized I'd fallen in love with him, I knew I couldn't let myself sink
06:03any deeper.
06:03I changed into practical clothes, packed my passport, cash, and a handgun I'd stolen from Dominico's
06:09drawer, then climbed out the window.
06:11What I didn't expect was that enemies had already infiltrated the mansion.
06:14Something slammed hard into the back of my head.
06:17Before darkness swallowed me, I heard someone said,
06:24When I woke up again, I was tied to the edge of the rooftop of a 20-story building.
06:29There were explosives strapped around my waist, and standing beside me was the girl from
06:33Dominico's photograph.
06:36Dominico, welcome to my territory.
06:38I know you've been dying to kill me, but first, let's play a game.
06:48Your wife and your lover.
06:49You only get to save one.
06:51The other falls off the building.
06:52Your choice.
06:53If you touch either of them, I'll feed you to dogs piece by piece.
06:56Oh, I believe you.
06:57But you still have to choose.
06:59Ten seconds.
07:00Ten.
07:02Nine.
07:05What's so funny?
07:06The whole damn world.
07:07A stray alley cat and a princess from a castle tied together to test the same man's conscience.
07:12Don't you think that's hilarious?
07:13Five.
07:14Four.
07:15Three.
07:17Let Elena go.
07:18Domenico's voice wasn't loud, but every word cut straight through me like a blade.
07:22I'd expected it.
07:25You hear that?
07:27He chose me.
07:28I ignored her and took a step backward.
07:29For the first time ever, fear shattered Dominico's cold composure.
07:34Nova!
07:38My luck saved me again.
07:39A garbage truck happened to be unloading below.
07:41I crashed into the pile of trash, broke two ribs, but survived.
07:45Right before I passed out, a pair of rough, clothed hands dragged me out.
07:49You're one lucky girl.
07:50When I woke up, an old woman was stitching the wound on my arm.
07:54Who are you?
07:55You can call me Mariana.
07:56Used to be a military doctor.
07:58Why save me?
07:59I was passing by.
08:01And seeing someone survive a 20-story fall?
08:04Those odds are crazier than winning winning the lottery.
08:06She let me stay until my injuries healed.
08:09During recovery, I kept seeing news about myself.
08:11Dominico Valenti had put out a $5 million reward for any information about his missing wife, Nova Valenti.
08:16He turned all of Chicago upside down looking for me.
08:19I stared at the newspaper photo.
08:20Dominico still stood perfectly composed before the cameras, but dark shadows had appeared beneath his eyes.
08:25He seems to love you very much.
08:28He just needs me alive so I can keep bringing him luck.
08:31Ever since I moved in, Mariana's luck had become absurdly good too, so she let me stay permanently.
08:37I helped around the house while she trained me in combat and firearms.
08:40One day, she watched me shoot a beer bottle from 30 meters away.
08:44You've got talent, kid, and your luck really is ridiculous.
08:47Ridiculous luck combined with brutal training and a complete disregard for my own life.
08:51I became an assassin.
08:52Two years passed.
08:54My reputation kept growing.
08:56Until one day, I accepted a contract that interested me very much.
09:00Target, Andrea Rossi.
09:02One of the men responsible for my kidnapping years ago.
09:08I was the real daughter.
09:09And the fake heiress was the one who dragged me home.
09:12Seraphine tossed a bloodline crystal at my feet.
09:15She's your real daughter.
09:17I'm not related to either of you.
09:19So now I can go do the death drop at Shadowcliff, right?
09:22My parents, Morwen and Torben, just stood there, frozen.
09:26Eighteen years ago, we were switched at birth.
09:29So no, I'm not your daughter.
09:31Which means you don't get to stop me from going to Shadowcliff.
09:34Understood?
09:36My name is Lina.
09:37No family name.
09:39In Greymark, people called me Crestworms.
09:41The overseer at the rune mill called me Bastard.
09:45My foster father, Garrick, called me Little Beast.
09:48Nobody used my real name because nobody believed a stray wolf blood girl deserved one.
09:53A war carriage ripped through the dusk and stopped below the tower.
09:56That kind of ride was rare.
09:58I knew exactly who she was.
10:00Everyone in Greymond did.
10:01I found her.
10:02Serena Valerius, the golden daughter of House Valerius.
10:06You're Lina?
10:08Touch it.
10:13The stone burst with blinding violet light.
10:17Eighteen years ago, we were switched at birth.
10:20You're the real daughter of House Valerius.
10:24Don't get excited.
10:26I didn't come here to bring you home and make you some noble princess.
10:29For what?
10:31My mother refuses to let me do the death drop at Shadowcliff.
10:33So I'm using you to prove I'm not her daughter.
10:35Then she has no right to stop me.
10:37Fine. I'll go.
10:40At the entrance of the tower, hidden in the shadows, a hooded man stood without moving.
10:44He lifted one hand and traced a sealing sigil in the air.
10:47Then he turned and vanished into the night.
10:52Sarah, this is your parents' real daughter?
10:54Wow, what a letdown.
10:56What is this, blood?
10:57Are we sure they got it right?
10:58Lady Morwen is elegance itself.
11:00And this backwoods girl can't even shift, can she?
11:03Oh my! She reeks of ruining!
11:05Enough.
11:06I could feel their stares sticking into me like needles.
11:09I didn't care.
11:10I'd spent 18 years hearing worse.
11:12I leaned back against the carriage wall and shut my eyes like I was asleep.
11:15Sarah, when you said your mother banned you from going to Shadowcliff, was she actually
11:19serious this time?
11:20Obviously.
11:22She froze half my bloodline credit.
11:24I can't even buy the new flight cloak release.
11:27So what's the point of dragging this backwoods girl home?
11:30My mother said, if you weren't my daughter, I couldn't control you.
11:35So I'm going to make sure she understands I'm really not.
11:42How much longer?
11:44What's the rush?
11:45You'll know when we get there.
11:48I have work tomorrow.
11:52You don't work anymore.
11:53You carry Valeria's blood.
11:56Even if you still look like gutter trash, you're not going back to a rune sweatshop.
12:00I turned my head and looked out into the night.
12:03The glass reflected my face back at me, tired eyes, but every inch of me out of place among
12:07those polished girls.
12:08But I had my own way of surviving, and for 18 years that way had kept me alive, and the
12:13spires of Frostmoon Keep cut into the horizon.
12:16Frostmoon Keep was built from black stone, its towers spearing up through the clouds.
12:20The moat around it didn't hold water.
12:22It carried a silver-white memory current, a living manifestation of House Valerius's bloodline
12:27power.
12:30Move, country girl.
12:32I followed her through massive oak doors carved with the crests of the twelve great houses.
12:37Portraits of past family heads lined both sides of the corridor.
12:42Why is that one hidden?
12:45Don't ask questions you're not supposed to ask.
12:47But I'd already seen the name engraved below it.
12:50Valdris Grimror
12:52In the Manus's Grand Hall, Lady Morwen Valerius stood halfway down a spiral stone stairs.
12:57Her eyes were silver, the mark of the silver wolf.
13:00Mother!
13:01I found her!
13:02She's your real daughter!
13:04So now you can't stop me anymore, right?
13:07I'm going to Shadowcliff!
13:11She threw the bloodstone at me again.
13:13The violet light burst out on contact.
13:15Torben stepped out from the shadows before Seraphina could speak.
13:18He was the alpha of House Valerius, leader of the silver wolf.
13:21Your mother wasn't finished speaking.
13:23What is there to say?
13:25The bloodstone lit up!
13:26Seraphine, unless you're trying to deceive us.
13:28Where exactly would I find someone who looks this much like both of you?
13:33Don't tell me you can't even recognize your own daughter.
13:38Oh, father!
13:39Don't let mother cut off my magic supply!
13:42Torben moved like he was about to go after her.
13:44But Morwen caught his arm.
13:47From the moment she saw the bloodstone flare, she hadn't taken her eyes off my face.
13:52Give me your hand.
13:56And the instant they did, a cold current slid into my veins.
14:01Torrin!
14:01Shut down the man in wards!
14:05Morwen...
14:06Just turn it off.
14:11If the bloodline was wrong, the mansion would tear you apart.
14:14Nothing left.
14:15Not even bone.
14:18Turn them back on.
14:19Silver white light poured down through the runework carved into the ceiling.
14:22It swept across the entire hall.
14:24It moved around me.
14:25Touched me.
14:26Tested me.
14:26Finally flowed right past me.
14:28Nothing happened.
14:29I was still standing there, completely unharmed.
14:32Mother, the north side of the ward let it cracked.
14:35What kind of crack?
14:38Not the kind caused by an attack.
14:41The energy was drained.
14:43Something absorbed it.
14:45Do you know why the bloodstone flared so bright when you touched it?
14:48Nobody in Graymark had ever taught me anything about bloodlons.
14:51Garak taught me exactly one thing.
14:53Keep your head down.
14:55Do your work.
14:57Don't cause trouble.
14:59Because your blood concentration is higher than any living wolf in House Valerius.
15:07Morwen cleared the room.
15:09She left only me inside.
15:16I knew the handwriting instantly.
15:18Mine.
15:19I founded Silver Briar Oath.
15:22It's a program I set up for abandoned wolf blood children.
15:25Over the last three years, I've supported more than a hundred of them.
15:28So you're the sponsor.
15:31The bloodline tracker picked you up from hundreds of miles away.
15:35Valerius blood runs in your veins.
15:38You already knew I belonged to House Valerius?
15:42I knew your bloodline.
15:45But I didn't know whose daughter you was.
15:49What does that mean?
15:50House Valerius blood is spread all across the Eastern Territories.
15:53There are at least hundreds of people in this world carrying some Valerius ancestry.
15:56The tracker could tell me only one thing.
15:58That you belong to the Valerius line.
16:01It could not tell me you were my daughter.
16:04Not until the bloodstone lit up.
16:05That's when I realized the girl I'd been quietly helping all these years was my daughter.
16:10I kept telling myself I only paid you so much attention out of pity.
16:13I read every letter you sent me over and over.
16:15When you wrote the foreman gave me half a loaf extra today, I was happy for the rest of the
16:17day.
16:18When you wrote my foster father hit me again, I couldn't sleep that night.
16:20I told myself I was just too emotionally invested in the children I supported.
16:25I even made excuses to go see you.
16:26More than once.
16:27But every time I was about to leave, I got a warning.
16:30Who?
16:31Valtris Griminon.
16:34I thought of the covered portrait in the hall.
16:36He was once House Valerius' chief mage.
16:39Eighteen years ago, he stole a newborn from the family and sold her to common folks in the lower districts.
16:44Me?
16:46He left behind a threat.
16:47If anyone from House Valerius tried to reclaim that child, he would trigger the seal on her body and reduce
16:52her to ash.
16:55Why would Valtris Grimnick steal me?
16:57Because your bloodline isn't ordinary Valerius blood.
17:00The tracker didn't sense you from so far away because you happened to be close enough.
17:05It sensed you because your blood is too powerful to hide.
17:09How powerful?
17:13I can't tell you.
17:15Valtris placed a seal on you.
17:16It doesn't just lock down your power.
17:18It also watches.
17:22So if you tell me the truth, you'll take action.
17:53what you told me about Crap is close enough to see if my blood is too healthy.
17:57what did you see i saw nothing i was just passing by

36:31because here
36:32no soul dares to take what belongs to the queen of the underworld
36:36as soon as anyone even thinks about doing so
36:39the only ending awaiting is death
36:55the underworld has but one king
36:57and no queen
37:03Hades
37:04you came for me
37:05Hades
37:07you seriously hurt me over this useless little goddess
37:10she's not useless
37:11and she's not just some minor goddess
37:13she's different
37:15special
37:19Hades
37:20I have long honored you as the mother of night
37:24but let me be very clear
37:25she belongs to me

37:35Persephone
37:36I'm gonna kill you

37:53don't you think it's a little
37:54early for that
37:57change into this
37:57oh
37:58it'll restore your essence while you sleep
38:14my lord
38:15do you like what you see
38:17what do you think you're doing
38:20didn't you tell me to change my lord
38:21you're completely out of line
38:23oh
38:24am I
38:24why are you so hard for me
38:31you've clearly recovered just fine
38:32it's late
38:34you should get back to Olympus
38:36and as far as I'm concerned
38:38there's no reason for us to see each other again
38:41I knew you felt it too
38:43oh uncle Hades
38:44you really think you'll never see me again
38:46the council of the gods is seven short days away
38:52fine
38:54any titan sympathizer found within the neutral zones
38:57will be punished with the thunderbolt
39:00do I make myself clear
39:04Hades
39:06do you find my decrees amusing
39:09or perhaps you take objection to my rule
39:11the king of the underheld
39:13sneaking looks in my direction
39:15and he still claims to not have feelings for me
39:19your decrees aren't amusing my brother
39:23I don't think there's any need for me to hear the rest
39:29how do I make you come out and say it
39:30Hades
39:32how do I get you to admit
39:33you've fallen for me
39:36the lake of slumber weakens the power of lesser gods like me
39:38and the god of death supposedly has no mercy
39:42let's put that to the test
39:49Persephone

39:50right now

40:54that you feel something
40:55that you want me
40:56you're impossible
40:57you know that
