Short filmTranscript
00:00I once read that the most dangerous thing a woman can do is save a man's life.
00:04I didn't believe it.
00:05I was 22, idealistic, and three semesters short of a nursing degree.
00:11When I found a man bleeding out in an alley behind a fast food restaurant,
00:14I didn't think about danger.
00:16I just pressed my hands to the wound.
00:18I didn't know his name.
00:19I didn't know that the blood soaking through my uniform
00:22belonged to the most feared cartel boss on the East Coast.
00:25I didn't know that behind those dark half-conscious eyes
00:27was a man who would remember everything I did.
00:30Every word, every touch, every desperate instruction I gave him in the dark.
00:34I didn't know he would come back for me.
00:36Three months later, a man named Emilio Reyes walked into my life
00:40and told me I had inherited a fortune from my late aunt on one condition.
00:44Marriage. To him. Immediately.
00:47No. I said no.
00:49He smiled like I hadn't spoken at all.
00:52This is the story of how I married a criminal.
00:54How I hated him, feared him,
00:57and somewhere in the middle of all the lies he built our life on
01:00fell desperately, irreversibly in love with him.
01:03I want to tell you I fought it.
01:05I want to tell you I was smarter than this.
01:07But the truth is,
01:08the moment I pressed my hands to his chest in that alley,
01:11I was already his.
01:13I just didn't know it yet.
01:15The alley behind the shop smells like grease and rain.
01:19I take the trash out at midnight
01:22because Miguel never does
01:23and I'm too tired to fight about it.
01:30That's when I hear it.
01:31A shuffle.
01:33A grunt.
01:34The unmistakable sound of someone about to do something terrible.
01:37I peek my head out.
01:40First mistake of the night.
01:44Hello?
01:47Two men immediately pin me against the wall.
01:50I open my mouth to scream.
01:52Someone beats me to it.
01:53He steps out of the dark like he owns it.
01:56Tall, jaw tight.
01:58One hand pressed to his ribs.
02:00He's bleeding.
02:01I can see it soaking through his shirt
02:03in a dark, spreading stain.
02:05He shouldn't be standing.
02:06Standing anyway.
02:07Let her go.
02:11The men charge.
02:12He moves.
02:14Fast.
02:14Precise.
02:16Brutal.
02:17And it's over in seconds.
02:19One man clutches his arm, screaming.
02:22The other is already gone.
02:26And then the stranger folds like paper.
02:29Fitting the wet pavement before I can catch him.
02:33I drag him, him inside.
02:35I don't know why.
02:40I'm a nursing school dropout
02:42with shaking hands
02:43and no business saving anyone.
02:46But I press gauze to his chest
02:48and count his breaths
02:50and tell him to stay with me.
02:53And somewhere between one breath and the next,
02:55I start to believe he might actually listen.
02:58He opens his eyes,
02:59grabs my wrist hard enough to bruise,
03:02No one has ever seen me like this.
03:05You're dead.
03:07Stop moving or you'll bleed more.
03:09He lets go.
03:12He passes out.
03:14I keep working.
03:15By the time I come back with antibiotics,
03:18he's gone.
03:19The room is empty except for the bloody gons
03:22and the faint smell of something expensive,
03:25cologne, maybe, or power.
03:31I stand in the doorway
03:32and feel something I can't name
03:34settle into my chest.
03:38Hope you make it, stranger.
03:45The days pass.
03:47My life goes on.
03:49The midnight shifts blur into each other
03:52and I almost convince myself
03:54the whole thing was a fever dream.
03:57The blood.
03:58The alley.
03:59The man who threatened to kill me
04:01while I was saving his life.
04:04Almost.
04:06It isn't until three months later
04:09that I understand the mistake I made that night.
04:12It wasn't peeking my head out into that alley.
04:15It was pulling the stranger back from the edge.
04:18I'm wiping down the counter
04:19when his face fills the TV screen above the register.
04:25Emilio Reyes
04:26East Coast Cartel King
04:29Dangerous
04:29Untouchable
04:31The customers are whispering
04:33The word monster drifts past my ear like smoke
04:38I stare at the screen
04:40and the memory hits me like a cold wave
04:42His hand locked around my wrist
04:45even through the blood loss
04:49No one has ever seen me like this
04:53You're dead
04:56Shit
04:57I set down the tray
04:59I turn for the door
05:00A black bag drops over my head
05:02The last thing I hear before the world goes dark
05:05You're coming with us
05:13They take the bag off in a room
05:15that costs more than my entire life
05:17He's standing by the window with his back to me
05:20and even from behind I can feel the weight of him
05:23The absolute, unharried certainty of a man
05:26who has never once been told no
05:29He turns around slowly
05:31like he has all the time in the world
05:34Like I'm not hyperventilating in the middle of his Persian rug
05:37He looks at me the way you look at something you already own
05:40Hello wife
05:42Wife?
05:43He pulls out a file and slides it across the desk
05:47Leticia Virido
05:48My aunt
05:49Who I barely knew
05:51Who apparently knew him very well
05:52She raised him
05:54He called her family
05:55And when she died
05:56She left everything to me
05:59One million dollars
06:01I stare at the number until the zeros blur
06:06You're handing out one million dollars to me?
06:08Just like this?
06:10Of course not
06:11Your inheritance comes with a condition
06:14Marry me for one year
06:16Part of me wants to laugh
06:17The part that's been eating ramen for six months
06:20Drowning in debt
06:21Too proud to ask for help
06:23One million dollars
06:24I could breathe again
06:26I could actually breathe
06:27But then
06:29The other part of me
06:30Cuts up
06:31The part that recognizes his face
06:33From every news broadcast
06:34Every whispered warning
06:35Every story that ends badly
06:38Marry a mafia king
06:40With a promise of one million dollars?
06:42Is this Watt Mac novel
06:43Really happening to me?
06:44Me?
06:45I set down the file
06:47What do you get out of this?
06:49I...
06:50I'm a nobody
06:51He steps closer
06:53Close enough that I have to tilt my head back
06:55To hold his gaze
06:56And I hate that I do it
06:59You're not a nobody
07:02Don't ever say that again
07:06He says it quietly
07:07Too quietly
07:08Too gently
07:09Like he means it
07:11Like he's been thinking about it
07:13And the words land somewhere soft and unprotected
07:16Before I can get my guard back up
07:21I don't know what to do with them
07:23So I look away, down at the floor
07:25And that's when I see it
07:26A dark stain in the carpet
07:28Old and brown at the edges
07:31Blood
07:32Someone's blood
07:32Soaked into the fibers
07:34And never fully cleaned away
07:35The word yes dies in my throat
07:38No
07:40Then you just made your first mistake
07:42Is my future wife
07:48His hand moves toward his hip
07:50My survival instincts shoot up
07:54Wait
07:55I...
07:56I didn't mean no
07:57I just...
07:57I need time
07:58To think
08:01I'm allowed to think, right?
08:03A beat
08:03His hand stills
08:05Of course
08:07I try the door
08:10Locked
08:11Of course it's locked
08:13My heart hammers against my ribs
08:15As his footsteps cross the room behind me
08:18Quiet
08:18Unhurried
08:20Inevitable
08:21His hand covers mine on the knob
08:23His mouth is close enough to my ear
08:25That I feel the warmth of his breath
08:27And every rational thought I have dissolves
08:29I'm a king, Mia
08:32Don't even think about running
08:35I'll see you at the altar
08:38He twists the knob
08:39The door swings open
08:40I don't walk out
08:41I flee
08:43I nearly collide with a man in the hallway
08:45Younger than Emilio
08:47Easier to read
08:48With a smile that doesn't reach his eyes
08:50He watches me scramble past
08:52And says nothing
08:53Behind me
08:54I hear him say something to Emilio
08:55In a low voice
08:56I don't stop to listen
08:58Back in my apartment
08:59Serena screams at me through the phone
09:01For ten solid minutes
09:02I hold it away from my ear
09:04And stare at the ceiling
09:05You should have left him bleeding in that alley
09:08I know
09:08He's a monster
09:10My food's here
09:11Talk later
09:15I open the door expecting delivery
09:18A gun barrel
09:19Cold metal
09:20Pointed at my face
09:22Behind it
09:23A man
09:24I've never seen before
09:25Silver-haired
09:26And soft-voiced
09:27With the calm of someone
09:29Who has done terrible things
09:30For a very long time
09:31And at his feet
09:33Crumbled
09:33Bleeding
09:34Reaching for my ankle
09:36A boy I've never met
09:37But somehow
09:38Recognizing the shape of his jaw
09:40The curve of his nose
09:43A stranger smiles
09:45Mia Espinosa
09:48We need to talk
09:53His name is Franco Palacio
09:54I am Franco
09:56He says it like a title
09:58Like something I should already know and fear
10:00He says it while one of his men
10:01Pins my arms behind me
10:04And another kicks the boy hard enough to crack ribs
10:08Tomas
10:08Your cousin
10:10Leticia's only son
10:12I didn't even know I had a cousin
10:16I'm Emilio Reyes' worst nightmare
10:19I don't know Emilio
10:21That's a lie
10:22Of course I lied
10:24I would say
10:25Anything to get out of this
10:29This gangster war I've somehow wandered into
10:32Dragging a cousin I've never met along with me
10:35Maybe I really shouldn't have saved Emilio that night
10:42He ignores me
10:43And crouches beside Tomas
10:44Dragging a knife down his cheek
10:46So slowly
10:47So precisely
10:48That the line of red it draws
10:51Looks almost surgical
10:53Tomas makes a sound
10:54I'll hear in my sleep for years
10:55You're gonna marry Emilio Reyes
10:57You're gonna give him an heir
11:03And that child will be born under my command
11:08What?
11:09A wife
11:10A baby
11:11That's all it takes to ruin a man like him
11:16You're gonna be my weapon sweetheart
11:18He stands
11:20Moves back to Tomas
11:21And presses the flat of the blade against his eyelid
11:24One month
11:25Get pregnant
11:31Or your cousin loses more than an eye
11:34I can't breathe
11:35I can't think
11:36The room has shrunk to the size of that knife
11:39That eye
11:40That terrible soft sound Tomas makes when the blade presses harder
11:45Stop
11:45Left eye
11:48Or right
11:49Stop!
11:50I'll do it!
11:52The blade lifts
11:53Franco smiles like I've given him a gift
11:56Then the front door Sweeneyr splinters off its hinges
12:02Emilio doesn't come in like a rescue
12:04He comes in like weather
12:05Sudden
12:06Total
12:07Impossible to argue with
12:08His men fan out behind him
12:12Franco's men scatter
12:13And then it's just the two of us
12:15And Tomas is gone
12:17Dragged out in the chaos
12:19And I'm on the floor
12:22With my knees pulled to my chest
12:25And my whole body shaking so hard my teeth click together
12:28I don't hear him cross the room
12:30I just feel the air change
12:32Mia
12:33His voice is different
12:35Softer than I've heard it
12:36I look up
12:37And something in his face does things I don't expect
12:41It cracks
12:42Just at the edges
12:43Just for a second
12:45I don't decide to move
12:46I just do it
12:48I throw myself at him
12:52And his arms close around me before I can second guess it
12:55And I press my face into his chest
12:58And cry in a way I haven't cried since I was a little girl
13:03Ugly and desperate and completely undignified
13:08He holds me like he means it
13:11He doesn't speak
13:13Doesn't ask questions
13:15Just keeps one hand on the back of my head
13:18And breathes slowly, steadily
13:20Like he's trying to teach me how
13:23And gradually my shaking slows
13:25When I finally pull back
13:26His expression has closed again
13:28But his eyes haven't
13:31You're my woman, Mia
13:33Your tears belong to me
13:36I should have a response to that
13:38I don't
13:39I just look at him
13:40And feel the words settle somewhere deep and permanent
13:45Like a key turning in a lock I didn't know I had
13:48He wipes my face with his thumb
13:50Gentle, careful
13:52Like I'm something worth being careful with
13:56I'm not your woman
13:58I haven't agreed to anything yet
14:01I know
14:02We should talk
14:04He says it quietly
14:05He doesn't push
14:06He just looks at me like he's already decided
14:09And he's willing to wait
14:11That might be the most frightening thing he's done yet
14:15The next morning
14:16We sit on opposite sides of a conference table
14:19With a contract between us
14:20Sick enough to stop a bullet
14:22Our marriage contract
14:26Read it
14:29Terms and conditions
14:31We'll discuss today
14:38I keep my spine straight as I flip through the pages
14:41I try very hard to absorb what I'm about to sign my life onto
14:46But not a single word makes it to my brain
14:52Instead, Franco's voice echoes like a curse on a loop
14:55Marry Emilio
14:57Baby
14:58One month
15:02My weapon
15:05To save a cousin I barely know in a gangster war I never asked to be part of
15:09I'm going to lie to a cartel king sitting right across from me
15:13Expecting a real marriage
15:16Of course I'll sign this contract
15:18But it's not my choice
15:19It was never my choice
15:22I am completely, utterly out of control of this situation
15:25And I have to pretend otherwise
15:28Perfectly
15:28Or Thomas pays for it
15:31Everything okay?
15:34I startle
15:35He's watching me
15:37Of course he's watching me
15:39Men like him watch everything
15:45I need to smooth this over
15:46For my cousin
