Short filmTranscript
00:00I'm Violet, a broke art student scraping by as a waitress.
00:03My scumbag boyfriend Derek drugged me and sold me to Vincenzo Mercanti,
00:07a ruthless mafia don who needed a fake bride to seal a deal.
00:10When I woke up, I found myself face to face with Vincenzo mid-execution.
00:14Terrified, I escaped through a window.
00:16But returning home, I caught Derek in bed with my best friend Tracy.
00:20Enraged at his failed scheme, he tried to drown me in the pool.
00:23That's when Vincenzo swooped in.
00:25He saved me, then took me back to his place.
00:27Grateful for my life, I agreed to be his contract bride.
00:30But on our wedding day, he took a bullet meant for me.
00:38Good morning, Mrs. Mercanti.
00:41Mrs. Mercanti?
00:42We never completed the wedding ceremony, so for now, she's just my fiancée.
00:48I'm so confused. Why are we going shopping?
00:50Boss wants to make it up to you.
00:52It's an apology for what we've been through at the wedding.
00:56He likes you.
00:57Don't misunderstand my intentions.
01:00There's a banquet in a few days that you'll be attending with me, and you'll need proper attire.
01:04It's all written in the contract.
01:06Oh, and here's this.
01:10A pen.
01:11It's a miniature gun in disguise.
01:14It's loaded with two bullets.
01:15Keep it with you at all times.
01:17Might need it if there's danger.
01:20Okay.
01:20Since when did the boss become so considerate?
01:28Since he finds his true love, I guess.
01:31Who's that girl?
01:51Why does she have so many bodyguards with her?
01:54She is so glamorous.
01:55Must be a billionaire or something.
01:58I think she's probably a mob boss's daughter.
02:02Um, let's go back.
02:04I don't want to go shopping anymore.
02:06Why?
02:06Don't all women like to shop?
02:07First of all, no.
02:09Not all women love shopping.
02:11And second of all, no woman likes to go shopping with a bunch of big scary muffiamen behind her.
02:17No offense.
02:18Use this card.
02:21Max it out.
02:22Greta Mario will stay to protect you.
02:26Wait!
02:27Doesn't this card have no spending limits?
02:29How am I supposed to max this out?
02:31Vincenzo!
02:36Hey, guys.
02:37I really don't want to be so conspicuous.
02:39Could you wait outside for me, please?
02:43Sure.
02:48The McAfee Mall security team hasn't been up to par lately.
03:00They're letting in all sorts of tramps and losers.
03:03Looks like she doesn't have more than $20 on her.
03:06Watch this.
03:07Okay.
03:11I am so sorry, miss.
03:15Excuse me, ma'am.
03:17I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
03:19Our store is very high-end, and if any of our clientele see you hanging around here,
03:23it's going to affect our image and brand identity.
03:25Excuse me?
03:26Has this store fallen on such hard times that they're selling to minimum wage workers?
03:30You should try Walmart or Goodwill.
03:34A place like that might be better suited for you.
03:37Is your brand's identity based around looking down on others?
03:39Are people who earn minimum wage or wear clothes from Goodwill somehow less deserving than you?
03:45Well, we don't mean to be disrespectful.
03:51It's just that you can't afford anything in the store because of how poor you are.
03:56And I don't like to waste anyone's time, including my own.
03:59So I think you should just leave and not be so selfish.
04:02I am the selfish one.
04:05How can you treat your customers like this?
04:07Oh my god.
04:08Ma'am, we don't want any trouble.
04:11Please leave.
04:13Please leave.
04:14You know, in this country, it's illegal to turn away customers right after they walk into a store.
04:19Um, customer, well, you haven't bought anything yet.
04:21So how are you a customer?
04:23Eh, tired of arguing.
04:24I'm going to call security and see if I can get you out of here because you're so poor.
04:29And also you just have this stench, like, right?
04:31Like poverty?
04:32Like, ugh, disgusting.
04:33Makes me want to...
04:34Hi, is this security?
04:36I have a beggar here and a tramp who needs to be removed.
04:39Uh, do you have anyone you can send here?
04:40She will not leave.
04:42Okay.
04:43What'd you say?
04:44Not available.
04:45Why?
04:48Vincenzo Mercanti is here at the mall?
04:50Vincenzo Mercanti?
04:51The billionaire?
04:52The owner of this mall?
04:53He's here?
04:54And his fiancée is with him.
04:56By Lynn Anderson.
04:58All right.
04:58Oh my god.
04:59A fiancée?
05:00What a name.
05:02She sounds so glamorous.
05:03Look at me.
05:04Look, look at me.
05:05Hello?
05:06Hello?
05:06Vincenzo Mercanti isn't just a billionaire, okay?
05:09He has almost unlimited power.
05:11He's a mafia kingpin, okay?
05:13They say he kills without hesitation.
05:16Okay.
05:16She needs to leave.
05:17You need to leave right now before Mr. Mercanti and his fiancée get here and you'll ruin the atmosphere.
05:22Oh, you're finished.
05:23Yeah.
05:23Okay, bye.
05:23Bye.
05:24Bye.
05:24Bye.
05:24Please leave.
05:24Someone like you doesn't even deserve to catch a glimpse of Mr. Mercanti and his fiancée.
05:28So hurry up and leave before Mr. Mercanti gets here, okay?
05:30Come on.
05:31We're going to go now.
05:31So get out of here.
05:34I am Violet Anderson, Vincenzo Mercanti's fiancée.
05:42What a hilarious joke.
05:44That is very funny.
05:45How could a trashy girl like you possibly be Mr. Mercanti's fiancée?
05:49Don't act like we're bullying you.
05:51If you could actually prove you're Violet Anderson, we'll apologize immediately.
05:59Should we go in and check on her?
06:01Are you stupid?
06:03Why would we go in there?
06:05This is the perfect time to call the boss and have them do a dramatic rescue.
06:08Oh no, I didn't bring my ID.
06:17Oh, let me guess.
06:18You forgot your ID.
06:19This is Vincenzo Mercanti's black card with his name on it.
06:29Is this enough proof that I'm his fiancée?
06:31People these days sure go all out just to fake being rich.
06:36This one's even brought home props.
06:38These fake prop cards are everywhere in those cringy vertical dramas.
06:42Clearly someone can't tell drama from real life.
06:45Thinking she's Cinderella or something.
06:47If you want to watch vertical dramas, you should download good short.
06:49They've got good quality ones.
06:51Don't let trashy dramas rot your brain and turn you stupid.
06:55If that card is real, I will swallow this $10,000 handmade cashmere scarf.
07:03No, I can't spend Vincenzo's money.
07:06If you want a daydream, do it at home.
07:08Don't embarrass yourself in public.
07:09Exactly.
07:10Vincenzo wouldn't touch you if you were the last woman on earth.
07:13She's a beggar and a liar.
07:17What's wrong?
07:18Afraid it won't swipe?
07:20Swipe it!
07:23Why wouldn't you?
07:30My name is Vincenzo Mercanti.
07:33Nice to meet you.
07:34Oh no.
07:35Vincenzo must be mad that I caused him trouble.
07:37Is that really Vincenzo Mercanti?
07:39How would I know?
07:41Vincenzo Mercanti is super mysterious.
07:43No one really knows what he looks like.
07:44You think wearing a tailored suit makes you the mafia king?
07:47That suit's probably rented.
07:49When the real Vincenzo gets here, you'll be dead meat.
07:52Who is it?
07:53Dead meat?
07:54That's still up in the air though.
07:56Didn't you just say that if this card is real, you would need a scarf?
08:01Well then, we should buy that scarf with this card.
08:06Don't forget to thank Mr. Mercanti when you're eating it.
08:13What if that really is Vincenzo Mercanti?
08:16This card, it looks kind of real.
08:19No, that's impossible.
08:20Look at her, she's dirt poor.
08:21There's no way they're connected to the Mercanti family.
08:24You're great.
08:25Okay.
08:30Swipe it.
08:39Transaction successful.
08:42Transaction successful?
08:44Is that really a legendary unlimited black card?
08:47It really is Vincenzo Mercanti.
08:50Is that enough to confirm my identity?
08:51So tell me, which one of you have been insulting my fiancé?
08:57Wait, he's not angry at me.
08:59He's standing up for me.
09:02I heard someone here had a problem with minimum wage workers.
09:07No, no, we don't.
09:08Funny, because we happen to make minimum wage.
09:10Would you like to discuss that with us?
09:12No, no.
09:13Will you still give people a hard time after this?
09:16No, no, we won't.
09:17We won't.
09:17The Mafia King.
09:32He kills with no mercy.
09:35Please, sir, madam.
09:37We didn't know.
09:38I'm so sorry.
09:39Can you please forgive us?
09:40Please, I was blind.
09:43Judgmental.
09:43I spoke out of turn.
09:45I'm so sorry.
09:45Pathetic.
09:48I actually prefer your earlier arrogance over this.
09:51I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Mercanti.
09:54Miss Violet, my poor management led to the situation.
09:58I sincerely apologize as well, Mr. Mercanti.
10:00I failed to train the staff properly, and that led to this disrespectful incident.
10:06Our brand has never stood for fawning over wealth or trampling on others.
10:12You're both fired!
10:13Miss Violet, I apologize for ruining your shopping experience.
10:19As an apology, please, choose anything you like from the store.
10:22That won't be necessary.
10:24Nothing in this store is worthy of my fiancé.
10:26Clear out all the customers in the mall.
10:28Today, the mall will serve my fiancé and her alone.
10:30I'll get it.
10:31Wait!
10:31We can't do that.
10:36We can't do that.
10:37This entire mall belongs to Mr. Mercanti.
10:40Of course you can.
10:42I mean, everyone has an equal right to shop here.
10:46Privilege shouldn't dictate that.
10:48She's right.
10:49I guess Miss Violet's not just nice.
10:52She's also quite principled.
10:55Leave us.
10:57What's up with the boss?
10:58I've never seen him act so obedient before.
11:02It's because Miss Violet's different.
11:04Let's go.
11:08We'll shop somewhere else.
11:11Mr. Mercanti!
11:12It's been a while.
11:13Is my order ready yet?
11:14Yes.
11:15We should all be here.
11:16Why don't you pick out something suitable for me?
11:18It should be good for a banquet.
11:20Trust your taste?
11:20Miss Violet, here's an exclusive from this season.
11:50Our brand's limited edition diamond gown.
11:52It's priced at $2 million and Mr. Mercanti reserved it especially for you.
11:57Would you like to try it on?
12:10Dude, she's a total knockout.
12:12Goddess.
12:13It's like you've given this gown a soul.
12:15Having to wear such a design is a truly unparalleled honor for us.
12:20This is our brand's high-end jewelry design for the season.
12:26You're the first person to see this, even before the first lady.
12:31Violet, keep yourself together.
12:33He's doing all this for his contract bride.
12:35Not for you.
12:38Take these in Miss Violet's room.
12:40You, come with me.
12:41This is self-portrait by the Chinese artist Shibi Zhao.
12:56And this?
12:57This is the work of the Italian sculptor, Leon.
13:00It was auctioned at Notherby's last year for $200 million by a mysterious collector.
13:04Are these all yours?
13:12This was my mother's.
13:14I need you to wear it at the banquet tomorrow.
13:18It must be a momentous banquet.
13:20The core members of every Mafia family will be there.
13:22What happened at the last wedding could happen again.
13:25So I'm going to tell you the whole story before we get there.
13:29My father left a will.
13:30Says that I can only become the head of the Mercanti family if I'm married.
13:33That means I need a marriage.
13:35A wife.
13:36Immediately.
13:37Otherwise...
13:38Otherwise someone will take the power that's meant to be yours?
13:41No, it's not about power.
13:42It's about the chance to change everyone's fate.
13:45I don't understand.
13:47I was born into the Mafia.
13:48That I had no choice in.
13:49But I refuse to keep my men and their families trapped in this life.
13:53Which is why the last few years, I've been leading the family into more legitimate business.
13:58So, he's not a cold-blooded monster after all.
14:01But this kind of transition, it involves the interest of too many.
14:05It threatens them.
14:06There's no shortage of people that want me dead.
14:09And you, you'll be caught in the crossfire.
14:12If you want to leave, now's the time.
14:14I know I'm just a meaningless contract bride, too.
14:21I know you don't care whether that bride is me or someone else.
14:24But I signed the contract.
14:26So I won't back down.
14:29Don't worry.
14:30We don't even have to get married.
14:32You'll just be my fiancé.
14:34After a few months, I'll announce our breakup.
14:37And send you somewhere safe.
14:39But without a marriage, you won't be able to inherit the Mercanti family, will you?
14:42Even if I lose my claim to power, I won't gamble with your life.
14:48That doesn't concern you.
14:51Wait.
14:53Can I stay here a little longer?
14:55I want to take a closer look at everything.
14:58Suit yourself.
14:59Oh, fuck.
15:11That painting.
15:21This is my self-portrait.
15:23How is it here?
15:24Here.
15:29I bought it from Derek.
15:31I only just found out that you are the real artist.
15:34You...
15:35Why did you buy my painting?
15:38Because of the girl in it.
15:41What about her?
15:43Look at her eyes.
15:45Her unwavering gaze.
15:47Every inch of them, so full of life.
15:49I fell in love with her the moment I first saw her.
15:54I've seen the works from a lot of famous artists.
15:56So it's not hard for me to tell that the creator of this portrait...
16:00has great potential.
16:03You can use this room whenever you want.
16:05I'll have Greta set out some art supplies for you.
16:08Whatever you want to do in here...
16:10you can.
16:10Are you serious?
16:11Are you serious?
16:11Oh, my God.
16:21This has got to be the best art studio in the whole world.
16:27Are you willing to model for me?
16:31Please.
16:33He won't.
16:37He won't because he said he'll only model for me.
16:40Long time no see, Vincenzo.
16:43I'm back.
16:44Monica.
16:46Monica.
