Transcript
00:00:00Harry!
00:00:01Hey, Myla.
00:00:02Um, it's your spot.
00:00:07So, uh, what's the occasion, Harry?
00:00:13Um, well, listen, we've been together for a long time.
00:00:28Listen, we've been together for three years, and I've been thinking about our future.
00:00:36So, um...
00:00:49Cynthia, will you marry me?
00:00:53Uh...
00:01:00Harry, uh...
00:01:03I don't know what to say.
00:01:05Uh, it's just...
00:01:07It's a yes, we love each other.
00:01:11Uh...
00:01:12Uh...
00:01:13Uh...
00:01:14Yes?
00:01:19She said yes.
00:01:20Yes.
00:01:22She said yes.
00:01:32Everybody on the floor.
00:01:37Sit here.
00:01:44Call your boss or she dies.
00:01:47Greetings, gentlemen.
00:01:48It seems you have a problem.
00:01:51You have the wrong hostage.
00:01:53On the floor, the next bullet is yours.
00:01:55Steph, look at the stones on his watch.
00:02:00The tattoo on his neck.
00:02:02Those are symbols of the D'Angelo family.
00:02:05I apologize for not introducing myself.
00:02:10Alan D'Angelo.
00:02:11Alan D'Angelo.
00:02:13His name seemed to cut through the air with its power and danger.
00:02:17The head of the most powerful mafia clan in the city is saving my life.
00:02:21Listen.
00:02:23This is the territory of the Romano family.
00:02:27We haven't finished business with their owner, so...
00:02:30Stay out of it.
00:02:31I don't give a shit about your business, buddy.
00:02:35And you have to let the girl go.
00:02:39Because she's my fiancée.
00:02:41Or have you forgotten the family in Violability Code?
00:02:53Mr. D'Angelo, we don't want war.
00:02:56So take your fiancée and go.
00:02:59Let's go, darling.
00:03:00Hey.
00:03:06Harry?
00:03:07Hey.
00:03:08Hey, stop.
00:03:09No, no, no, no, no.
00:03:11Ah!
00:03:12Gentlemen.
00:03:14You have ten seconds.
00:03:19Let's go.
00:03:20Let's go.
00:03:20Are you okay?
00:03:31Yes.
00:03:33Oh, you're out now.
00:03:36How was it there?
00:03:40Safe?
00:03:41Uh, thank you for protecting Cynthia.
00:03:50I was afraid.
00:03:51Yes, you were afraid.
00:03:54But when a man hides under the table, leaving his woman in danger,
00:04:00it's not fear.
00:04:02It's a choice.
00:04:05And you made it.
00:04:11Today, I made a choice, too.
00:04:17When I called you my fiancée.
00:04:21What choice?
00:04:22What did he mean by that?
00:04:24It's just a lie to protect me.
00:04:26Because my real fiancée didn't protect me.
00:04:29He hid under the table, saving his life.
00:04:33Maybe that's why his lie made me feel more than Harry's truthful confession.
00:04:41What happened?
00:04:48Alan D'Angelo, he shot me.
00:04:59He shed the first blood on our territory.
00:05:02Alan D'Angelo wouldn't have violated the rules of the family.
00:05:18Why did he die?
00:05:21Why did he do it?
00:05:40We took his fiancée hostage.
00:05:44Honey, please understand.
00:05:59I was just confused.
00:06:04I'm not some kind of criminal mastermind.
00:06:06Please talk to me.
00:06:13Cynthia.
00:06:21I love you.
00:06:22I love you.
00:06:24I love you.
00:06:26I love you.
00:06:28I love you.
00:06:32I love you.
00:06:34Harry, stop it.
00:06:41No, I can't.
00:06:43Harry, Harry, stop it.
00:06:45You're making it worse.
00:06:51Listen.
00:06:52Please, let's just forget about this incident.
00:06:57No.
00:06:59I think I need time.
00:07:02Ray.
00:07:04Ray.
00:07:04Okay.
00:07:30Okay.
00:07:34I'll wait.
00:07:48Vida will not forgive interference in his territory.
00:07:52They threatened his fiancée.
00:07:54Mm-mm-mm.
00:07:56She's not his real fiancée, Tony.
00:07:58She's just some chick.
00:08:00And when Vida finds out about it...
00:08:02She's not just some chick.
00:08:04She's Sita.
00:08:06She's Sita.
00:08:08There is nothing more vulnerable than a man who has fallen in love.
00:08:16Hey losers.
00:08:18Swigilance...
00:08:20Makes...
00:08:22Stupid mistakes.
00:08:24And we will use...
00:08:28Each of them.
00:08:30Find this girl.
00:08:32Find this girl.
00:08:34Find this girl.
00:08:36Find out everything about her.
00:08:38From her...
00:08:40Favorite coffee...
00:08:42To the size of her shoe.
00:08:46Good news.
00:08:48We capture zone.
00:08:50I feel danger surrounding me from all sides.
00:09:00What is it?
00:09:02Stress after yesterday?
00:09:04Or a real threat?
00:09:06Or a real threat?
00:09:08She notices us.
00:09:10Stop it, Cynthia.
00:09:12This is just paranoia.
00:09:18This is the danger that my body felt before I saw it.
00:09:22Like an animal senses a predator.
00:09:24And...
00:09:26You are a predator.
00:09:30Get in.
00:09:36We are...
00:09:38We are...
00:09:40We are...
00:09:42We are...
00:09:44We are...
00:09:46We are...
00:09:48We are...
00:09:50Where did our wedding ring go?
00:10:07Where are we going?
00:10:08Where you will be safe.
00:10:12What?
00:10:13Am I in danger?
00:10:16Yes.
00:10:18Vita Romano.
00:10:20A rival family that wants to use you against me.
00:10:27No.
00:10:28No.
00:10:30No, this is nonsense.
00:10:33Look, I don't understand what's going on here, but I really need to get to work.
00:10:38So, if you don't mind, please, I'll get off here.
00:10:41Are you deaf?
00:10:50Stop the car!
00:10:51No.
00:10:51His people are already watching you.
00:10:55Why?
00:10:56Why?
00:10:57What do I have to do with this?
00:10:59Because you're my fiancé.
00:11:02But those were just words.
00:11:04You lied to save me.
00:11:05Yes, I lied.
00:11:08And if they find out about it, there will be more.
00:11:13More.
00:11:15More.
00:11:16More.
00:11:17You're my fiancé, who will live with me from this day forward.
00:11:21In my care.
00:11:22In my mansion.
00:11:26What?
00:11:36Please, stop the car.
00:11:41Otherwise, I'll call the police.
00:11:42You know who I am.
00:11:45The police won't stop me.
00:11:51Your heart rate is too high.
00:11:55Her pupils are dilated.
00:11:58Would you take any drugs before getting behind the well?
00:12:01What?
00:12:06Her pulse is on the charts.
00:12:08I read a pupils, slight sweat.
00:12:12I have kidnapped by Alan D'Angelo.
00:12:25He is on drugs and taking me for his mansion.
00:12:28If you don't stop the car, I'll send this to a journalist I know.
00:12:33You think the press will be a bigger problem for you than the police?
00:12:36Yes.
00:12:36When they come, and they will come, I will not be able to save you, Cynthia.
00:12:58They won't come.
00:13:07They won't come.
00:13:11I am nobody.
00:13:13I'm just a nurse who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
00:13:19Not anymore.
00:13:20I could still feel his heart pounding with my fingertips.
00:13:35Just as frantic as mine, I just dared to threaten Alan D'Angelo himself.
00:13:41And in the end, he disappeared.
00:13:43So why, instead of being relieved, do I feel disappointed?
00:13:53Yeah, I'm right outside.
00:13:57Hey.
00:14:05Yeah.
00:14:06I wanted to talk about...
00:14:15Harry, please.
00:14:19I remember I asked you to give me some time, so please don't put any pressure on me, okay?
00:14:24I just wanted you to know that...
00:14:27I'm here for you.
00:14:33Goodbye, Harry.
00:14:36Yeah.
00:14:38And, uh, thanks again for the flowers.
00:14:50I wonder what Slava and Boa was doing at their engagement party.
00:14:59Finally, water.
00:15:01I want to wash off all the dust of today, and finally forget about Alan.
00:15:09Forget his look.
00:15:10The feeling of his touch.
00:15:12Stop imagining his hands on my hips, his fingers digging into my skin.
00:15:29He is behind me, strong, powerful, dangerous.
00:15:35His lips leave a burning mark on my neck.
00:15:40He awakens something primitive in me.
00:15:43Something forbidden.
00:15:45Stop.
00:15:46This has to stop.
00:15:47It's not right.
00:15:48It's dangerous.
00:15:50It's... too exciting.
00:15:52And that's why it has to stop right now.
00:15:55Sorry.
00:16:16Oh, no, no.
00:16:21No!
00:16:51I don't know.
00:17:21I don't know.
00:17:51Vita went after your fiancé, Harry.
00:18:01So that means that they already know the whole truth, and there's no need for me to be kept in here, right?
00:18:07No. I managed to intercept him and send him out of town.
00:18:11What? What did you do?
00:18:14Hey, don't worry about him. I deposited enough money into his account.
00:18:18Who are you? Who are you to decide who should we wear and how?
00:18:24Listen to me.
00:18:30Sooner or later, Vita will find out the truth that I called someone else's bride my own.
00:18:35I gave you family status.
00:18:42Cynthia, I gave you untouchable status.
00:18:46I have insulted his family with this lie. Do you understand?
00:18:49And to restore his honor, he will have to kill you.
00:18:55That's why I have to keep you here.
00:18:57Not just to protect you, but to maintain the illusion that you are really my fiancé.
00:19:02This is the only way I can save your life.
00:19:23Does it still hurt?
00:19:25Stop it.
00:19:29I don't need your concern.
00:19:32First, you have your people break into my shower, push me against the wall until I faint.
00:19:37And then you pretend to care about me.
00:19:39As if you had nothing to do with it.
00:19:41Are you fucking serious?
00:19:44You were pushed.
00:19:55I hate you!
00:19:58I hate you!
00:19:58I hate you!
00:20:25Listen to me.
00:20:26No one, no one dares to touch her.
00:20:30You understand?
00:20:40Cindy.
00:20:43You weren't supposed to see this.
00:20:46Hey, hey!
00:20:47I'm sorry for what you suffered at the hands of my man.
00:20:56And for what you saw.
00:20:59He won't touch you again, I promise.
00:21:13This is the real Alan D'Angelo.
00:21:15Brutal, ruthless, dangerous.
00:21:18Playing with me like a beast plays with its prey.
00:21:42Good morning.
