00:04In the back seat, my cheeks burned hot and my breath came fast and uneven.
00:09My slender waist was pinned firmly by Lorenzo Luciano's hand, which had pulled triggers for years.
00:16Not here. Lorenzo.
00:19What's there to fear?
00:21The windows are tinted.
00:23Those patrolmen outside can't see inside.
00:26No one would ever imagine that Volante's precious pride, his daughter, would be in this state in her fiancé's car.
00:34I closed my eyes, feeling a tearing sense of shame.
00:37The next second, the blackberry on the center console let out a sharp buzz.
00:42Lorenzo glanced at the screen and his previously heated gaze turned ice cold in an instant.
00:48He roughly pushed Joanna, who was aroused, away from his arms.
00:52Get out.
00:56What?
00:59The Luciano family has business to handle.
01:02I don't have time for games with you.
01:05Walk back with yourself.
01:06I was pushed into the cold street with no dignity at all.
01:10This was the very edge of Clinton, surrounded by game spies and greedy scavengers.
01:20Who's that?
01:22Volante's holy maiden?
01:25Looks like the Luciano boy's done playing.
01:28Just tossed her on the curb.
01:30Look at that body.
01:31Worth dying for if we could drag her into an alley for a night.
01:42Lorenzo, are you insane?
01:44This is Moretti territory!
01:46Dumping me here is a direct insult to my family's reputation!
01:51In this world, only the dead don't need a reputation.
02:02I watched the taillights disappear.
02:04My heart felt drenched in ice water.
02:07I am Joanna Valenti, the heir of one of Manhattan's five families.
02:11On this chessboard of power, I was the carefully kept dove, a symbol of my family's honor and rules, never
02:18touched by the bloodshed of the streets.
02:21To secure a crumbling alliance, I had to marry the most notorious successor of the Luciano family, Lorenzo.
02:28I tried to escape.
02:30Late one night, with the city snowed in, I was ambushed by hit men from the rival Moretti family while
02:35fleeing to the outskirts.
02:36In that life and death crossfire, it was Lorenzo who charged alone into the kill zone.
02:52Don't be afraid, Joanna.
02:54From now on, no one can use you as a bargaining chip.
02:58You're free.
02:59In that moment, something inside me shattered.
03:02The doctrines, the reason, the pride the Valenti family had taught me vanished before Lorenzo's blood.
03:20Lorenzo, I'll marry you.
03:22I only want you.
03:24Perhaps because of that promise, he miraculously clung to life in the ICU.
03:29After the engagement, Lorenzo seemed a changed man.
03:34He stopped gambling, cut off all his mistresses, and even endured a brittle family trial to win the Valenti family's
03:40favor.
03:41In that private moment earlier, he almost made me believe his love was deep and genuine.
03:46I couldn't understand why the man who once took a bullet from me could turn so cold and cruel in
03:51an instant.
03:59Follow that may back.
04:01Not too close.
04:02He'll spot you.
04:07I stepped out of the cab before I neared the gate.
04:11I heard the dull sound of a wick from the courtyard, followed by a woman's broken, desperate pleas.
04:20How dare you lay a hand on her?
04:22I've agreed to marry Joanna Vellini as promised.
04:26Why would you hurt Sophia?
04:36How dare you ask why?
04:38It hasn't even been a week since your brother died in the fighting in Sicily, and this woman couldn't respect
04:44her duty as a widow.
04:45Worse, she seduced you, her brother-in-law, and secretly made that damned marriage contract with you.
04:57How could this be?
04:58My fiancé secretly married his dead brother's wife?
05:02Before I could even catch my breath from the shock, Lorenzo's voice, thick with sarcasm, cut through the air again.
05:09If you hadn't used her life as a bargaining chip to force me into marrying into the Valenti family.
05:15Sophia would never have broke up with me to save her life and married my short-lived brother.
05:20It's just a marriage contract.
05:23If I can't give her official status in a church, can't I even grant her the title of Mrs. Luciano?
05:33She's just a low-born flower girl.
05:36What right does she have to enter our home?
05:39I said no back then, and you threw yourself away in the Brooklyn casinos, bringing endless shame to the family.
05:47Every noble in New York thought you were filth just to look at.
05:50If I hadn't set up that scene three years ago, pushing Joanna into Moretti's line of fire on that snowy
05:57night so you could play the hero,
05:59do you really think that proud Valenti lady would ever have looked your way?
06:06I froze as if struck by lightning.
06:09That bloody, romantic night three years ago, the stray bullet that nearly pierced Lorenzo's heart,
06:15his pale promise by the hospital bed, it had all been a carefully rehearsed trick.
06:20A deafening roar rang in my ears.
06:23My world collapsed in an instant.
06:25I slowly crouched against the wall.
06:28Cold rain trickled down my neck into my clothes.
06:31Yet it could not compare to the chill in my chest.
06:35Three years.
06:36He'd been acting for three whole years.
06:39He'd fought other mafia bosses for speaking rudely to me.
06:42He'd shielded me in his arms without hesitation in the Sicily wildfires,
06:47letting the flames burn his back.
06:49Yet in the end, I was just a tool for him to defy his family and protect another woman.
06:54I was a pawn he was ready to sacrifice.
07:05My mind went blank.
07:07I gripped the phone so hard my knuckles turned white.
07:10Pregnant.
07:11At the very moment I discovered everything had been a lie.
07:15I had once feared childbirth.
07:17But I had dreamed of giving him an heir because I loved him.
07:21Now, staring at the man in the courtyard, fighting desperately to protect Sofia,
07:27I wiped the tears from my eyes.
07:29My gaze turned cold and hard, like the Valenti family pressed.
07:34I'll get rid of this unwanted child.
07:36And then, I'll make Lorenzo Luciano learn this.
07:40Once the Valenti dove is stained with blood, she becomes a terrifying hawk.
08:02I sat by the windowsill, the wedding dress cut into pieces at my feet.
08:07The wedding invitations, filled with guest lists, were being torn up one by one, there.
08:14Fragments scattered across the floor.
08:17What's wrong?
08:18Our little dove has learned to sharpen her claws.
08:21If you don't like the dress, I'll fly a designer from Milan over tomorrow for new measurements.
08:26Don't ruin your health over some fabric.
08:30Still mad about me leaving you on the street?
08:32My bad.
08:33I didn't finish what I started in the car.
08:35I'll make it up to you tonight.
08:37Your father is sending me to a convent in Sicily to lock me up.
08:40I came to say goodbye, but it seems I've come at the wrong time.
08:44Lorenzo, I shouldn't have come between your happiness.
08:47Joanna, I have something to handle.
08:49Go to bed early.
08:50At the word Sicily and convent, Lorenzo's face changed instantly.
08:55To him, that meant a life sentence.
08:58Lorenzo heard the heavy thud of a body hitting the floor, but he didn't even.
09:03Look back.
09:04The sound of the elevator doors closing echoed eerily in the empty corridor.
09:08I curled up on the cold, hard floor, cold sweat dripping down my forehead and large beads.
09:15Once, he had acted as if his whole world revolved around me.
09:19For a simple cold, he would wake up the best private doctors in Manhattan in the middle of the night.
09:24But now, Sophia only needed to shed a single tear.
09:28And he didn't even bother to pretend to care anymore.
09:33Fifth Avenue, Manhattan.
09:36I'm hemorrhaging.
09:42Hemostatic agents and prozesterone now.
09:44The patient is critical.
09:45We need to save the fetus urgently.
09:47She should have been here half an hour ago.
09:49Mr. Luciano was just here.
09:50He said Miss Sophia was frightened and had a bleed.
09:53He took all the emergency medication from the hospital.
09:56It's a Luciano-controlled facility.
09:58No one dared to stop him.
10:00Save the fetus.
10:02Had a bleed.
10:03The medicine that could have saved my child was
10:06taken by my fiancée and given to his supposed sister-in-law.
10:10My nails dug deep into my palms until they drew blood.
10:15That pain was sharper than the tearing in my stomach.
10:21Doctor, don't save it.
10:24Get rid of that mistake.
10:26The procedure was quick and clean.
10:28When I woke up, loud arguing came from the VIP room next door.
10:33I'm sorry.
10:35It's all my fault.
10:36Joanne's in the hospital.
10:38Just let me leave.
10:39I deserve to rot away in Sicily.
10:43The doctor said it was just a minor accident from exhaustion.
10:46You're leaving over something this small?
10:49You married my brother to get back at me and now you're running away without a word?
10:54You'd rather be a Luciano widow forever than wait for me to take you back?
10:58Yes.
10:58I deserve to be a widow.
11:00I married him out of spite then shamelessly climbed into my brother-in-law's bed.
11:03Everyone calls me the dirtiest whore in Clinton.
11:06Don't talk nonsense.
11:08We signed a private contract.
11:09Before God, you are my wife.
11:11I won't let you degrade yourself like this.
11:13I stood in the shadow of the doorway, a complete outsider watching this absurd.
11:18Farce.
11:19Wife.
11:20What a lovely real wife.
11:22Then what were all his vows to me in front of?
11:25The Valenti mansion these three years?
11:27Just some comedy rehearsal for the Luciano.
11:31Family?
11:32Lorenzo, I love you.
11:34Even if the whole world despises me, I don't care.
11:40Feel that?
11:44Joe?
11:45Joanna?
11:47Sophia lost her husband and was traumatized.
11:49The medicine made her mistake me for my brother.
11:52Joanna, be reasonable.
11:53Don't cause trouble right now.
11:55Cause trouble?
11:58Lorenzo Luciano, our engagement is over.
12:00You and your sister-in-law can go to hell together.
12:07Even when he was nearly a vegetable after that shootout in Sicily, I never left.
12:12I defied my family, secretly gave him 1,000 cubic centimeters of my own blood, and cared for him in
12:20that sterile-smelling attic for six months.
12:23And now, this docile dove was saying she, wanted to break the engagement?
12:28Joanna, stop this.
12:31Without the Luciano family's protection, you're just a dessert your family is ready to serve up on the negotiating table.
12:38You'd really leave?
12:40Those words were like a poison needle, piercing straight into my most painful spot.
12:47He knew my weakness all too well.
12:50I was a marriage tool carefully raised.
12:52By my family.
12:54He was certain that even if I knew the truth, I would be like a bird with broken wings, forced
13:01to stay by his side.
13:02What if I insist?
13:04Joanna, don't forget, I have your videos.
13:08Valenti's holy maiden, shamelessly moaning in the back of a mayback, writhing under a man like a cat in heat.
13:16What do you think will happen if those videos get sent to every mafia family's inbox?
13:23Who would still marry you?
13:25Or maybe, who'd just use you as a public plaything?
13:29My body trembled violently.
13:32A chill seeped from my very bones.
13:34I remembered.
13:36Our first time.
13:38I was too shy to open my eyes, and it was Lorenzo who coaxed me with.
13:42That gentle voice.
13:46Saying he wanted to record it as a keepsake for our old age.
13:51That.
13:51Night.
13:52He acted like a devout believer, holding me like I was precious.
13:56But now, all.
13:58That tenderness had become a noose to strangle me.
14:03Lorenzo.
14:06Lorenzo, my stomach hurts so much.
14:10Does it still hurt?
14:12Joanna is angry.
14:14You should go comfort her.
14:15I, I can bear it.
14:17Even if I lose this baby, it's my fate.
14:20Sophia is still recovering.
14:21She's pregnant.
14:23I don't have the patience for your little tantrum.
14:26If you insist on leaving, don't blame me for forgetting the last three years.
14:32I'll send those videos to the press.
14:35Let all of New York see what you are really like in private.
14:39You choose.
14:40Stay as the high and mighty Mrs. Luciano.
14:43Or be the ruined slut with her reputation in the gutter.
14:47This was the man I loved for three years.
14:50To protect another woman, he didn't hesitate to destroy my name and my soul.
14:55I couldn't just sit and wait.
14:58I must find that USB with the evidence of my shame and get out of this hell for good.
15:09Then, I dialed a long forgotten number.
15:12It belonged to the most secretive legal.
15:15Advisor of the Valenti family.
15:17Draft a full statement for me.
15:20Withdrawal of all investments from the Luciano family.
15:22And annulment of the marriage alliance.
15:25Even if I have to lose everything.
15:27I want him dead.
15:37Joanna, where did you hide Sophia?
15:39She's pregnant and can't take this stress.
15:48I have nothing to do with it.
15:50Mrs. Villani, it's done.
15:52Just like you asked.
15:53The bitch is in a Clinton warehouse.
15:55I've got a few of the filthiest bums watching her.
15:58Once we get her on video, the Luciano boy won't dare use yours against you.
16:04My facet turned from pale to purple.
16:06My feet barely touching the ground.
16:08Air.
16:09Being squeezed from my lungs bit by bit.
16:12Did you bully her?
16:14Joanne, I never knew you were this vicious.
16:20No.
16:25It wasn't me.
16:27I didn't even know the man on the phone.
16:30This clumsy frame-up didn't even bother to be convincing.
16:34But Lorenzo was a rabid beast out of his mind by then.
16:38All he heard was that the woman he loved was in danger.
16:45If anything happens to Sophia and the baby,
16:48I'll make the entire Val-Lenny family pay.
17:05Lorenzo!
17:06Save me!
17:08Save our baby!
17:10Save our baby!
17:15It's over, Sophia.
17:17I'm here.
17:18It was Joanna.
17:20She said she'd let me go only if the baby in my belly died.
17:24Lorenzo, I'm so scared.
17:28Lorenzo closed his eyes.
17:32The last flicker of old affection for me burned to ashes.
17:37At her confession.
17:45Is she alright?
17:50I crashed down, Myers ringing, a coppery taste flooding my mouth at once.
17:55You have the nerve to ask?
17:58Joanna, weren't you Volante's holy maiden?
18:01Since you enjoy playing these dirty games so much,
18:04I'll let you have your fill.
18:15Take her to the underground nightclub in the Red Light District.
18:18Since she's so good at arranging men,
18:21let her experience it first hand.
18:28Lorenzo!
18:29Have you lost your mind?
18:30I'm your fiancé.
18:32I'm the Volante Hermes.
18:37You lost the right to that name the moment you acted against Sophia.
18:41I'll tell your father his daughter ran off with some random man on the eve of the engagement.
18:46As for what happens to you in the Red Light District,
18:49you've earned every bit of it.
18:57No!
18:58Lorenzo!
18:59I was pregnant!
19:01I just miscarried it back at that hospital.
19:05Miscarriage!
19:06You'll lie about anything to escape punishment, won't you?
19:10Sophia is the one carrying my child.
19:13And you, who knows whose bastard you were carrying in your gut.
19:20Take her away.
19:22I collapsed to the floor, my last shred of spirit shattering to pieces.
19:27I stared at the man I'd loved for three years.
19:31Watching him push me into an abyss over another woman's lies.
19:37Outside the window, Manhattan's neon lights still glowed.
19:40But I knew the sun that belonged to Valenti's holy maiden was gone for good.
19:52I hadn't even recovered from the weakness of the miscarriage.
19:56The blood on my forehead had crested into a dark scab, and my expensive gown was torn to rags, leaving
20:02me looking like a discarded, broken doll.
20:06Well, well, a present from the Luciano boy.
20:10The Valarni's holy maiden?
20:13Lorenzo says you like it rough.
20:15So rough.
20:16You'd hire bums for his precious girl.
20:26Here, the insane live longer.
20:29Lock her in the tank.
20:30Since Lorenzo wants her to experience it first hand, she'll be tonight's opening act.
20:34I was locked inside, cold water lapping at my ankles.
20:38Blood loss from the miscarriage blurred my vision.
20:42Below me were countless twisted, greedy faces.
20:45They banged on the tank frantically, some even tossing dirty bills into the water.
20:52The holy Satan has been defiled.
20:55I heard she's the Valenti heiress.
20:57Lorenzo called off the engagement himself.
21:00Doesn't matter if we break her.
21:01Lorenzo said she's just a nameless slut now.
21:04Threw the thick mist on the glass.
21:07I stared at those wolf-like eyes outside.
21:10I once thought the Valenti name was my armor,
21:13and Lorenzo's affection was my safe. Haven.
21:17But now, they had become boulders dragging me down to drown in the abyss.
21:25Lorenzo, isn't this too cruel?
21:27She was your fiancé.
21:28Cruel?
21:29She showed no mercy when she went after my child.
21:33Tonight, the highest bidder takes her.
21:35The Valenti's holy lady?
21:37The starting bid is one dollar.
21:39I stared at Lorenzo's face, the same face that had once kissed me, that had once protected me.
21:46Now there was nothing but pure loathing and cold-blooded cruelty.
21:50A dull ache flared in my lower belly again.
21:54It was my dead child, weeping, accusing the
21:57very father who had killed his own flesh and blood.
22:11Ten million dollars, plus the Moretti family's Pier 3 in the East District.
22:20Moretti?
22:21Luciano, the treasure you don't want.
22:23I've been craving her for a long time.
22:26Better she comes to me than dies with this filth.
22:29I'll show her real hell.
22:31You want the Valenti woman Moretti?
22:33You can take her, but she has to leave one hand behind.
22:38Since these hands were used to plot against Sofia, they have no right to exist.
22:43I look at that blade.
22:45The last light in my eyes went out.
22:48I stopped struggling.
22:50Through the glass, I gave Lorenzo a strange, desolate smile.
22:56Lorenzo, you'll regret this.
23:02Take me with you.
23:04I'll help you kill him.
23:13Lorenzo stared at the woman who had once been docile,
23:16who would cling to him when watching horror movies.
23:19Now, she was clutching Anthony Moretti's hand like a lifeline.
23:24Joanna, let go.
23:26You know the Morettis are worse than those bums.
23:29They'll eat you alive.
23:31Even the worst hell is cleaner than being by your side.
23:40Hear that, Luciano?
23:42Your holy maiden thinks you're dirty.
23:45Such a pretty thing, and you let her jump into a tank.
23:49Since you wanted a hand,
23:52maybe I'll take it for you?
23:56Anthony, touch what's mine, and you won't leave here alive.
24:03Lorenzo, my stomach hurts so bad.
24:06The baby, save the baby.
24:11Get a doctor!
24:13He picked it up without thinking.
24:16It was a crumpled, deformed medical tape labeled St. Mary's Hospital.
24:20The hospital where he took my medication tonight.
24:24I was curled on the back seat, wrapped in a thick blanket Anthony tossed me.
24:28My body shook violently with fever and post-op infection.
24:3210 million and appear, Ms. Valenti.
24:37You're a pricey asset net now.
24:39Tell me, what can you give me?
24:42If you're just dead weight, I don't mind sending you back to Luciano's bed.
24:50All of Lorenzo's freight route maps in the South District,
24:53the Luciano family's list of illegal children in Sissy, and my life.
24:56I want you to contact my father's old men.
24:59In exchange, I'll put you at the head of the five families myself.
25:03Even if the cost is destroying the Valenti family.
25:06The Vivaldi family now is DeLorenzo's lapdog.
25:09I want him to watch how the power he's trying to protect,
25:12and that woman, crushed to dust bit by bit.
25:17Deal.
25:19But first, Ms. Valenti, you have to survive the night.
25:34The image of my desolate smile in the tent flashed in his mind.
25:38I really was carrying his child, and he two hours ago choked me, called it a bastard.
25:45A doctor. A medication. Get it back. Join it.
26:15I endured the severe pain as my private doctor tattooed a black mandala,
26:19which symbolized a death vow stitch by stitch on my lower back.
26:23It was the mark of the Valenti's holy maiden's death.
26:30No anesthetic. I requested it this way.
26:33Mrs. Valenti, a cover-up tattoo this large, few can handle it without drugs.
26:39This pain was nothing compared to the disgust in Lorenzo's eyes when he choked me.
26:44That black mandala slowly spread, covering the remaining traces of the
26:49family crest on the small of my back, the one that symbolized Luciano's fiancé.
26:55Lorenzo, the doctor said I needed more rest for the baby.
26:58The baby? Sophia, tell me.
27:02What did you do at the hospital two hours ago?
27:05I... I... I was in so much pain. I was afraid I would lose the baby.
27:11So you bribed the director of the Luciano-controlled hospital and took Joanna's medication?
27:15Do you have any idea whose child she was carrying?
27:18Lorenzo, you suspect me? I was protecting our future.
27:23Joanna is cunning. She must have faked the miscarriage to get your sympathy.
27:29Enough!
27:32Sir, it's bad. The men watching were spotted by Anthony Moretti.
27:35That madman sent you a message.
27:37What?
27:37He said, since you treated the Velatis wholly laden like trash.
27:41From now on, she's the sharpest blade in the Moratti family.
27:44And he thanks you for personally training his best Avenger.
27:48From today, get out of the master bedroom.
27:50Move to the servants' quarters in the back.
27:54Lorenzo, I'm carrying your child.
27:57Then pray this child is born safely.
28:00If I find out this one isn't mine either, I'll show you exactly how Clinton's skinning room works.
28:12This is the transfer of family inheritance rights, signed by my father while he was still lucid.
28:20From this moment on, all docks, casinos, and freight lines of the Volanti family fall under the Moretti bounder.
28:27Anyone with objections, speak now. I'll resolve them in the way of the Moretti family.
28:31The weak, docile, sheltered dove who once hid behind Lorenzo died in the tank that rainy night.
28:37What rose from those depths was a phoenix forged of flame and... vengeance.
28:42Joanna, you're insane! Giving the family assets to the Morettis? You're letting a viper into your own nest!
28:49Mrs. Velati doesn't like to be interrupted. Anyone else have thoughts on this gift?
28:55I sat in the master's seat, watching the body in the pool of blood without expression.
29:00Before, I would have screamed, vomited, hid in Lorenzo's arms for comfort.
29:05Now, I calmly took a slender cigarette from an attendant.
29:08The flame flickered, smoke curled, blurring my stone-cold face.
29:13From today on, every doc in the South District will fly Morelli's flag.
29:17As for Luciano, I'm gonna yank every last teeth out of that mad dog myself.
29:22Get out of my way! I need to see her! I'm her fiancé!
29:26Mr. Luciano, this is Morelli territory now. Ms. Joanna says she won't see any living Luciano.
29:34That was before. Lorenzo looked at me. His heart felt ripped open, the pain so intense he could barely stand.
29:42Ms. Joanna, I found out. Sophia took the medication, forged the records, the baby.
29:49Ms. I'm sorry about the baby. Come back with me. I'll make it right.
29:54Ms. I'll kill Sophia.
29:56Ms. I'll transfer half of Luciano's shares to you. Just come back.
30:00Ms. Make it right? Lorenzo, do you think I need half your shares?
30:05Ms. Or do you think Sophia's life can bring back the child I lost?
30:09Ms. See this? It's a Morelli death vow. To survive. To make you pay.
30:17Ms. I sold the Volonti name to the devil myself. Lorenzo stared at the glaring tattoo.
30:22Ms. His mind reeled. It was the most extreme. Oath in their world. Selling one's soul with no way back.
30:29Ms. No. Joanna, you didn't have to go this far. I can help you.
30:33Ms. Help me? Help me perform in a tank? Help me get auctioned in the red light district?
30:38Ms. Lorenzo, you killed the Joanna who loved you.
30:42Ms. The one standing here now is your creditor.
30:45Ms. Hear that, Luciano? The creditor has come to collect.
30:49Ms. Starting tomorrow, every drug route you have in Manhattan goes dark.
30:54Ms. Consider it Joanna's engagement gift to you.
30:58Ms. Sir Sophia is packing, trying to run.
31:02Ms. We intercepted her calls.
31:04Ms. She was never pregnant. That eight-week ultrasound was fake.
31:08From a black market doctor. All to get rid of Ms. Volonti.
31:12Ms. Lorenzo gripped the phone. The last shred of his sanity snapped. He personally,
31:18for a fake pregnancy, killed the only woman he ever truly loved, and his only child.
31:25Ms. Take Sophia to the cellar. Before I die, I'll make her watch as I send both of us to
31:30hell.
31:31Ms. Feeling sorry for him?
31:34Ms. Sorry.
31:35Ms. Moralti, all the feeling I had in this life rotted in a hospital trashcan with that child.
31:40Ms. We move at dawn. I want every Luciano in Manhattan to see the sunrise for the last time.
31:46Ms. Lorenzo.
31:49Ms. Listen to me. I loved you too much. I was afraid you'd leave me for that child.
31:56Ms. Loved me.
31:58Ms. So you found a black market doctor for a fake pregnancy test.
32:04Ms. So you stole Joanna's life-saving medication right under my nose.
32:10Ms. Sophia, when my brother died, you cried. Swore you'd be a widow forever.
32:17Ms. I pitied you. I took you in.
32:21Ms. Protected you. And this is how. You repay me.
32:25Ms. You used me. Made me kill my own child.
32:30Ms. The baby was fully formed. The doctor said it was a boy. He would have been the rightful Luciano
32:37heir.
32:38Ms. No. He was just a mistake.
32:43Ms. That beach wasn't fit to be.
32:45Ms. Bare your child. Only I. Only I truly love you.
32:51Ms. Truly love me.
32:57Ms. Since you love putting on this fake pregnancy act so much, let's play for real.
33:02Ms. I'll slice you open right here and see what color your rotten heart is.
33:05Ms. I stood top the car roof. The wind broken my black hair.
33:10Ms. In my hand, I gripped a modified MP5. My gaze icy cold. Without hesitation, I pulled the trigger on
33:18the guard still resisting ahead.
33:21Ms. Joanna. You've changed.
33:27Ms. This killer's poise suits you better than being the Holy Maiden.
33:38Ms. Less talk.
33:41Ms. I want all of Lorenzo's offshore account passwords. His list of Sicilian contacts.
33:48Ms. Before dawn, I want the Luciano family's North American operations paralyzed.
33:54Ms. I jumped down, boots landing on the container string yard.
33:58Ms. Every inch of this ground was once Lorenzo's bragged territory. Now, I'll take it back, inch by bloody inch.
34:09Ms. Where's Lorenzo?
34:11Ms. He is at the private estate cellar dealing with Sophia.
34:16Ms. Deal with Sophia?
34:18Ms. My finger tightened slightly on the trigger for a split second, then quickly fell back to a deathly stillness.
34:24Ms. Lead the way. Some accounts need to be settled face to face.
34:33The moment he saw me, the lifeless malice in his eyes vanished at once, replaced by something pitifully hopeful.
34:42Ms. Joanna you came. Look, I avenged you. Sophia's here. Do whatever you want to her. Just come home with
34:52me. Even if you want my life. I'll give it to you.
34:56Ms. Home. Lorenzo, you still don't get it. I didn't come back to hear your belated repentance. Let alone to
35:08watch you torture this woman.
35:09Ms. That's for the child.
35:11Ms. As for Sophia, killing her is too easy. I'm taking her.
35:16Ms. Sending her to the lowest valentica washing plant. I'll let her spend every second of the rest of her
35:22life in the filth.
35:24Ms. As for Lorenzo Luciano, spare his life. I want him to watch with his own eyes how I devour
35:31his family bit by bit.
35:33Ms. How I turn him from the high and mighty godfather into the lowliest beggar on the streets of Manhattan.
35:40This is the best revenge.
35:46The workers were mostly wanted men or gambling addicts buried in debt. Here, there were no names, but only numbers.
35:54Ms. Joanna, please just kill me. Making me work here is worse than death.
36:12Ms. Death, I won't let you die, Sophia.
36:21Ms. The pulled a stack of photos from my coat pocket. Those were pictures Sophia was. Once so proud of
36:28in Manhattan's socialite circles.
36:30Ms. I tore them to pieces, letting the shreds fall into the black coal pit.
36:43Ms. You loved that face. Loved pretending to be good, didn't you? From today, you're number zero seven here.
36:53Ms. Don't worry, I'll have people watching you. Try to kill yourself, they'll save you.
36:58Ms. I want you to live a long, long life to watch as I step by step crush Lorenzo into
37:04the mud.
37:05Ms. Take her in.
37:07Ms. I changed into a scarlet evening gown, as if drenched in blood.
37:23Ms. I pushed open the heavy conference room doors.
37:27Ms. Inside sit the old dons, the ones who once looked.
37:31Ms. Down on me, saw me as a political pawn. Their faces were a mix of expressions.
37:40Ms. Joanna, this is no place for you.
37:43Ms. Now that the head of the Luciano family is done for, the Volantos and the Morettis will take charge
37:47of this position together.
37:49Ms. If anyone has an objection, you can talk to me now, or you can work with Sophia at the
37:53coal washing plant.
37:57Ms. Joanna, if you want this seat, I give it to you. But I have a condition.
38:01Ms. You think you're in a position to set conditions?
38:03Ms. Let me stay by your side, even as your dog or the lowest guard in the Moretti family.
38:07Ms. Just let me watch you. Don't send me away.
38:10The scene shocked every dawn in the room. The once unruly Luciano, publicly begging to be a woman's slave.
38:17Ms. I looked at the seal, then at Lorenzo's bloodshot, pleading eyes. Slowly, I reached out, my fingertips tracing the
38:25seal.
38:27Lorenzo, you're still so selfish.
38:32You think this makes up for that child's life? You think kneeling will soften me?
38:37Fine. Since you want to stay, I'll let you.
38:40Ms. Anthony, take Lorenzo back to the mansion. Lock him in the attic, my old room.
38:44Ms. Every night, I want him to listen to me flirting with other men.
38:47Ms. I want him to watch how he destroyed everything, yet doesn't even have the right to die.
38:52Ms. As long as I can see you. Yes.
38:55Ms. As satisfying as it is to control an enemy, he couldn't shake the feeling that.
39:00Ms. Lorenzo's pathological submission had something deeper. But I didn't care anymore.
39:06Ms. I sat back in the head seat, lit a cigarette. My gaze.
39:10Passing over everyone, looking out at Manhattan's dark night sky.
39:14Bye.
