Transcript
00:01Do you think your father lost a leg to save your mother because he loved her?
00:06Your mom is just a cheap knockoff.
00:09Now I'm back.
00:11Get out of my house!
00:14I ran upstairs, sobbing, and threw open Mom's door.
00:19I froze. Blood dripped onto the floorboards.
00:24Mom was smiling.
00:26My dad is the city's deadliest mafia boss.
00:29To the underworld, he's Mr. Voss.
00:32I heard a car pull up outside.
00:35Mom, look! Dad's home! He brought my favorite doll!
00:40But a second later, the doll got thrown into the dirt.
00:43Dad limped towards the house carrying a woman in his arms.
00:47A woman moved into our estate, with my mother's exact face.
00:51I called out to him. I reached my arms out. I wanted a hug.
00:55Dad!
00:56He swung his heavy prosthetic leg. Boot to my stomach.
01:00I flew backward. Skull crashing against the table. Blood trickled down.
01:06I didn't dare make a sound.
01:08Because Dad just slapped Mom across the face.
01:11Rachel, what the hell is wrong with you? Mia almost died tonight!
01:15She's just a sweet, harmless girl!
01:18Why do you hate her so much?
01:21Mom's eyes were dead calm.
01:23Shane Voss, did you forget who put that crown on your head?
01:27And now you have the guts to yell at me?
01:32Dad's face went white.
01:33I bled for this family!
01:35And Mia is pregnant with my son!
01:38I won't let you hurt her!
01:41Mom just laughed.
01:42If she's so precious, why bring her here?
01:47Did you forget my one rule?
01:49If anyone touches my daughter, I wipe out their whole family.
01:54She walked up to Dad.
01:57That bitch called our daughter a bastard.
02:00Give me one good reason why she's still breathing.
02:03Mom held a knife out to him.
02:04Either you stab me right now, and go live happily ever after with her.
02:09Or, you get on your knees right now, and tell me you're my loyal dog forever.
02:17Dad was furious, and plunged the knife into Mom's chest.
02:21Rachel!
02:22I am sick of your crazy games!
02:26Things are different now!
02:29I run this city!
02:30You will always be my wife!
02:35Nobody can take that from you!
02:37Mia is naive and innocent.
02:40She's not trying to steal your spot!
02:43Mom just smiled.
02:45She ripped the knife out of her own chest, and pressed the bloody blade against Dad's throat.
02:52Shane Voss.
02:55I let you play the big boss.
02:57I let you look tough in front of your men.
03:00Your name is Voss.
03:03But this whole city belongs to me.
03:07The Sterling heir.
03:11Dad snatched the knife back and pointed it at Mom's face.
03:14I threw my arms out.
03:16I jumped in front of her.
03:17You're bad!
03:18You crushed my doll!
03:20You hit me!
03:21You hit Mom too!
03:22I hate you!
03:24I hate you!
03:25Dad was furious.
03:27He slammed his fist into the cabinet.
03:28Rachel!
03:29I just want Mia's son born safe!
03:31I left her ten years ago!
03:32I owe her that!
03:33You better think it over!
03:34And quit pulling this crap!
03:36Then he stormed out.
03:39Mom's chest was blooming red.
03:41Mom...
03:42Does it hurt?
03:44She just looked at me for a long time.
03:46Then she said...
03:47Cisa, your dad changed.
03:49He doesn't deserve to be your dad anymore.
03:51That night, I had a nightmare.
03:53Dad stood in the shadows, holding Mia and a faceless little boy.
03:56He threw my crushed ball at my feet.
03:58Then, he handed the boy a heavy, iron cane.
04:01Look at her.
04:01She's nothing.
04:02Hit her.
04:03Like we are playing catch.
04:08And I woke up screaming.
04:10I ran downstairs to find Mom.
04:11But when I got there, I saw Dad had moved Mia into our house.
04:15She covered her nose, made a face.
04:17What is that smell?
04:18This place stinks.
04:19Shay and this is bad for my baby.
04:21I want everything changed.
04:22Dad called people in right away.
04:27They started carrying Mom's things out.
04:32I ran over.
04:35Tried to grab Mom's makeup's box back.
04:38Mia stepped on my hand and jad my forehead with her finger.
04:41Listen up, little bastard.
04:43I make the rules here now.
04:45Once I have my son, you and your crazy mother can both get dumped in the ocean.
04:51Then, she dropped a handful of candy on the floor and crushed them with her heel.
04:56You want one?
04:58Get on your knees.
05:00Bark like a dog.
05:03Maybe I'll give you one.
05:04Cisa, Aunt Mia's just joking.
05:06Say hi to her.
05:10You deaf or what?
05:12No wonder you're such a brat.
05:14Your mom never taught you any manners.
05:16Then, I saw Mom coming downstairs with a plate of apples.
05:20There was a knife stabbed right in the middle of one.
05:22Mia, you just got here.
05:24Don't get worked up over a child.
05:25Mia's whole face lit up.
05:27Good.
05:28At least you know your place.
05:30That's when Mom moved.
05:32She grabbed Mia's jaw, forcing her mouth open.
05:37She drove the fruit knife straight in and twisted.
05:41Mia's tongue dropped onto the floor.
05:43Blood splashed everywhere.
05:45Mom slowly wiped the blood off her hands.
05:48Then, she patted Mia's face.
05:51Who the hell do you think you are?
05:53Trying to school my daughter?
05:54You love barking so much?
05:56Keep going now.
05:58Is that what you're carrying?
05:59A little stray mutt?
06:00Then, maybe we should cut it out and take a look.
06:02Mom raised the knife, pointed it at Mia's belly.
06:07Dad lunged over and shoved Mom away.
06:13Rachel, you crazy bitch!
06:15Don't you dare!
06:18Rachel!
06:19If you touch Mia again, I'll cripple you myself!
06:22And I'm not gonna tell you again!
06:31Dad smashed a vase over Mom's head.
06:34He grabbed her hair, slamming her skull into the wall.
06:37Blood smeared the wallpaper.
06:39When he finally thought it was enough, Mom couldn't hold herself up.
06:42But before she hit the ground, she swept his fake leg out from under him.
06:46Shane, I gave you a chance.
06:51But a dog is always a dog.
06:54Dad leaned against the cabinet to stay up.
06:57His hand went to his waist.
06:59I tried to stop him.
07:01Get back to your room!
07:02But he yanked me away.
07:04I hit the floor hard.
07:06Then I saw a group of men surround Mom.
07:09Those same men used to bow to me.
07:11They used to call me Miss.
07:12Now they were following Dad's orders.
07:14They pinned Mom down.
07:18There was something in Mom's eyes I couldn't understand then.
07:21Shane, think this through.
07:24For some woman from outside, and the baby in her steli that might not even be yours,
07:30you're really throwing everything away?
07:32Dad's chest rose and fell hard.
07:34Rachel!
07:35You forced this!
07:37Mia can't take any more stress!
07:39The doctor said she might lose the baby!
07:42Lock her in the attic!
07:44Don't let her out until she begs Mia for forgiveness!
07:47I saw them trying to drag Mom away.
07:49I wrapped myself around Dad's good leg and bit down as hard as I could.
07:53Whoever lays one finger on Cece, I guarantee he won't live to see tomorrow.
07:59But Dad grabbed my throat.
08:01You little monster!
08:02You can stay locked up with your mother!
08:05Mom pulled me into her arms and let them take us away.
08:08I wasn't scared, because I heard Mom say,
08:11Cece, don't be afraid.
08:13It'll be morning soon.
08:16Mom and I were locked in the attic for three days.
08:20No food, no water.
08:22I was so hungry I had no strength left.
08:24I only saw Mom touching the blue sapphire necklace around her neck.
08:29Almost there.
08:31Just a little longer.
08:32I could also hear the guards say Dad had sent word out.
08:36If anyone touched Mia again, he'd wipe out their whole family.
08:41They said the whole city knew.
08:43Mr. Voss had turned on his wife for the woman he really wanted.
08:47Early on the fourth morning, Dad sent men to drag Mom and Mia out.
08:52He looked more confident with his new leg.
08:54Mia was by his side, mouth shut.
08:57Nobody could tell she was literally tongueless.
08:59Dad threw a document in Mom's face.
09:03Rachel, sign it.
09:05I'll give you half the company shares.
09:08I only want one thing.
09:10I'm marrying Mia.
09:12I'm giving her and our son their rightful place.
09:16Shannon, you really think you're untouchable now?
09:21I gave you time to think.
09:23Looks like you still haven't figured it out.
09:27Rachel, stop living in the past.
09:30Your time is over.
09:32This city belongs to me now.
09:35He clapped his hands.
09:37Dozens of armed men raised their guns at Mom.
09:44Today, we are pouring champagne for my new bride right here in the Voss estate in front of everyone.
09:52Dad looked at Mia.
09:54From now on, you're in charge of this house.
09:58Mia looked at Mom and mouthed,
10:01You bitch.
10:03You and your little bastard are done.
10:06The next second, a huge hole was blown through her belly.
10:10Blood started pouring out.
10:12Mom's mom spun the handgun in her hand.
10:17Shane, remember our vow?
10:20The first one to walk away pays with blood.
10:24Dad's face twisted.
10:26Rachel, you crazy bitch!
10:29Go to hell!
10:30He ripped a gun out of one of his men's hands.
10:33Mom only gave a small laugh.
10:39Shane, it's time to wake up.
10:41Your boss's dream is over.
10:46I screamed and squeezed my eyes shut, but I never heard a gunshot.
10:50I opened my eyes, shaking.
10:52Mom was still standing there.
10:54Dad still had his finger on the trigger.
10:56Nothing happened.
10:57Dozens of men instantly swugged their rifles, aiming straight at Dad.
11:01All the color drained out of his face.
11:03You, you all...
11:05Mom wiped the blood spots off my face.
11:08Shane, did you really think the people I kept by my side would ever listen to you?
11:13I had those guns put into your hands.
11:15And you thought they were there to help you build power?
11:18They don't even have firing pens.
11:23I just wanted to see what a dog would look like.
11:26Once it thought it finally had fangs sharp enough to bite its owner.
11:29She shook her head.
11:31Too bad.
11:32You disappointed me.
11:33You can't even bark loud enough.
11:35The gun slipped out of Dad's hand and hit the floor.
11:38Aiden, Jake!
11:39I treated you well!
11:41Everything you ate!
11:42Everything you wore!
11:44Who gave you that?
11:45Why betray me?
11:47The two men he named didn't even blink.
11:50Aiden, the one who always followed Dad around and lit his cigarettes,
11:53stepped forward.
11:54His gun stayed steady on Dad.
11:58Mr. Voss, everything you have.
12:01The money, the men, the power.
12:03It's always been misstealings.
12:05From the start to now, we've only ever had one boss.
12:09And that's misstealing.
12:11From the start.
12:15What a joke.
12:16On the floor, Mia let out a horrible scream.
12:20Dad threw himself beside her, trying to cover the hole in her belly.
12:24Mia!
12:25Mia, stay with me!
12:26Our son!
12:27Our son is still in there!
12:29Doctor!
12:30Get a doctor!
12:32He screamed at the men around him.
12:34Not one of them moved.
12:35Dad pressed both hands hard over her belly.
12:38Then he bent down and pressed his face to it.
12:42Son, don't be scared.
12:43Dad's here.
12:44Dad's gonna save you.
12:46Your mom got hurt.
12:48Dad will make them pay.
12:50When you get here,
12:52Dad will give you this whole city.
12:57Dad's fake leg was kneeling in blood.
13:00Mom took my hand,
13:01walked me over to him,
13:03step by step.
13:05Shane, why are you crying?
13:06Dad looked up.
13:08Rachel, you bitch!
13:10You killed my son!
13:11That was my son!
13:12Mom bent down,
13:14patted him on the head.
13:15How are you so sure it was a boy?
13:18What?
13:20What do you mean?
13:21I mean, maybe it was a girl.
13:23Why don't you cut it out and see for yourself?
13:27And I know something else.
13:28Your precious dream girl snuck off last month to see her ex.
13:32The guy you had beaten up and run out of the city.
13:35So tell me,
13:36that baby in her belly
13:37was it really a Voss?
13:39Or somebody else's?
13:40Mia started struggling hard,
13:42shaking her head like crazy.
13:44But Dad just stared at her.
13:46The hand covering her wound slowly fell away.
13:49Mom had seen enough.
13:50Looking at the blood all over the floor,
13:52she frowned.
13:54Aiden.
13:54Yes, ma'am.
13:56Cut her open.
13:57Let Mr. Voss meet his precious heir.
13:59And keep it clean.
14:01I just found the perfect rug here.
14:05Dad started banging his head on the floor.
14:07No, Rachel, please.
14:08I was wrong.
14:09Please let her go.
14:10Let me go too.
14:11We can go back to how it was.
14:13I'll never do it again.
14:14I'll be your dog forever.
14:17Mom only covered my eyes.
14:19Cece, let's go look at the goldfish.
14:21I bought you new ones a few days ago.
14:24Mom turned me around and led me away.
14:26Behind us,
14:27Mia started screaming.
14:29Dad broke down too.
14:31Howling.
14:31Crying.
14:32The smell of blood got stronger and stronger.
14:34But mom's perfume covered all of it.
14:37Mia's screaming didn't last long.
14:39Aiden walked out.
14:40He dropped a bloody sack in front of dad.
14:42Mr. Voss,
14:43it was a girl.
14:44Dad suddenly started laughing like he'd gone insane.
14:49A girl.
14:51Rachel, you win.
14:53You always win.
14:54Mom just smiled at me.
14:56Cece, let's go home.
14:58Stop!
15:01An old man walked in,
15:03leaning on a dragon head cane.
15:06Don Carmela.
15:07Rachel,
15:08you've gone too far.
15:10No matter how useless Cheyenne Voss is,
15:13he was still your choice.
15:14He was the face of our family in this city.
15:17After a stunt like this,
15:18where does that leave our name?
15:20Don Carmine,
15:21I'm just taking out the trash.
15:23The trash?
15:25I think you've lost your mind over a man.
15:27You turned the whole city upside down for some love drama.
15:30Did you forget the family rules?
15:32Our power is not here for your personal mess.
15:35That child will be ruined if she stays with you.
15:38Starting today,
15:39Cecia comes with me.
15:40I'll raise her myself.
15:41I'll make her a proper heir.
15:43As for you,
15:44go back to headquarters and think about what you've done.
15:47I grabbed mom's clothes tight.
15:50Mom stroked my hair and looked at him.
15:52Don Carmine,
15:53you're old.
15:54You really think I did all this for a man?
15:57His brows pulled together.
16:00What do you mean?
16:01Mom lifted a hand.
16:02Aiden stepped up at once.
16:04Handed her a cigar.
16:05Through the smoke,
16:06mom's eyes changed.
16:08Do you remember how Shane lost his leg?
16:11Don Carmine sounded annoyed.
16:13Of course I do.
16:15Ten years ago,
16:15he lost it protecting you.
16:17A rival cut it off.
16:20What if I told you it wasn't a rival?
16:22What if it was the Corvus Cartel?
16:24The Corvus Cartel was the only gang
16:26that could go head to head with our family.
16:28Don Carmine's face changed instantly.
16:30From the start,
16:31Shane was bait.
16:32I put him out there on purpose.
16:33I made him boss to see who'd bite.
16:35And today?
16:36Today was just the day I pulled it in the net.
16:39You set everyone up?
16:40Even me?
16:41Mom didn't answer directly.
16:44She crushed out the cigar,
16:45then walked over to dad.
16:47Shane,
16:48you really thought you betrayed me for love?
16:50The woman you fell for was only a shadow of me.
16:53And she wasn't copying me to please you.
16:55She did it because she's your enemy's sister.
16:58The Corvus Cartel found her.
17:00They paid her a lot of money to get close to you.
17:03Step by step.
17:04For one reason.
17:05For today.
17:07To make you turn on me.
17:09To make our whole family look like a joke.
17:12No!
17:14Mia wouldn't!
17:15She loved you?
17:16Loved you so much she cheated on you?
17:19Mom took a tablet from Aiden.
17:21Then threw it at dad.
17:22A video was playing.
17:26Mia was in a hotel room.
17:28With another man.
17:29Mom covered my eyes.
17:31But I still heard the voices.
17:33I heard Mia breathing hard.
17:35Are you sure that baby's not Shane Voss's?
17:38Of course it's not.
17:39That man disgustes me.
17:41He's dirty.
17:42He's a crippled freak.
17:43His touch makes my skin crawl.
17:45Once I get all of Rachel's money.
17:47We're getting out of here.
17:48And then.
17:49This whole city belongs to our son.
17:51Dad smashed the tablet into pieces.
17:54Mom walked back to Don Cameo.
17:56So.
17:57Do you still think I'm just making a scene?
17:59You really thought one woman could make me lose control?
18:02By now the Corvus Cartel probably thinks our family is tearing itself apart.
18:05They probably think our back line is wide open.
18:08They should be making their move right about now.
18:10The second she finished.
18:12A man came running in.
18:13Out of breath.
18:14Miss Sterling!
18:15Don Carmine!
18:16Bad news!
18:17The Corvus Cartel is hitting all our spots!
18:19They're attacking everywhere!
18:20Don Carmine's face went white.
18:23Don Carmine, didn't you say the family's power shouldn't be used for personal grudges?
18:28Mom looked him straight in the eye.
18:30Well now it's not personal anymore.
18:34Don Carmine swayed.
18:36He could barely stay on his feet.
18:38You're insane.
18:40You're really insane.
18:42Mom walked over to the fish tank.
18:44Aedlin.
18:45Yes ma'am.
18:46Pass on my order.
18:48Every crew moves according to plan.
18:50Tell the men this.
18:51Whoever cuts off the Corvus Cartel boss's head tonight gets a hundred million and their own crew to run.
18:57Yes ma'am.
18:58Aedlin took the order and strode out.
19:00Dad was locked in the basement.
19:02The goldfish swam happily around the tank.
19:05Mom sprinkled in some fish food.
19:07They rushed at it indedently.
19:09Biting.
19:09Fighting.
19:10Sissy, look.
19:11They'll even bite their own kinds for a mouthful of food.
19:15Doesn't that remind you of some people?
19:17I nodded.
19:17Not really understanding, but a little.
19:20After all that, Mom hired the best teachers for me.
19:23They taught me painting, piano, and how to use a gun.
19:27The first time I touched one, I was scared.
19:30Mom wrapped her hand over mine.
19:32Sisha, remember this.
19:34In this family, only the strong survive.
19:37A gun is what gives you nerve.
19:40The shot went off.
19:42Mom's face stayed calm.
19:44Good job.
19:46That night, I had a dream.
19:51Dad limped toward my bed.
19:53His fake legs scraping loudly against the floorboards.
19:56He didn't say a word.
19:58He just stared at me with dead eye cheek.
20:00He turned into ash.
20:01I woke up gasping.
20:03My pillow was soaked in cold sweat.
20:05I ran downstairs to find Mom.
20:07But at the basement door, Aaron stopped me.
20:11Little miss, ma'am gave orders.
20:12You can't go in.
20:13I stood on my toes and peeked through the crack.
20:16He was on the floor, eating like a dog.
20:19Mom sat across from him, elegant as ever, drinking red wine.
20:24Shane, how is it?
20:25I had the kitchen make it just for you.
20:27It used to be your favorite.
20:29Dad looked up.
20:30His face was filthy.
20:32Rachel, what do you want from me?
20:34Just kill me.
20:35Put me out of my misery.
20:36Mom pressed her high heel onto his hand.
20:39Kill you?
20:39That would be too easy.
20:41I'm going to make sure the rest of your life pays for your betrayal.
20:46Dad became my new toy.
20:48Mom said that however he treated me before, I could treat him the same way now.
20:52That day, I was in the garden practicing with a gun.
20:55Dad knelt nearby.
20:57One shot went wide.
20:58The bullet scrimmed past his ear.
21:00He didn't even flinch.
21:01That made me mad.
21:03I threw the gun to the ground.
21:05Why didn't you move?
21:06He finally spoke.
21:09Cece, I was wrong.
21:10Back then, I was a bastard.
21:14I didn't want to hear it.
21:15Suddenly, fighting broke out outside.
21:17A housemaid came stumbling into the garden.
21:19Miss Sterling!
21:20Bad news!
21:20They broke in!
21:21Mom walked out of the house.
21:23Why are you panicking?
21:24She held a cup of hot tea and then blew across the top.
21:27The maid was almost crying.
21:29It's the Corvus cartel!
21:30They said they're gonna wipe out the whole family!
21:32Mom took a sip of tea, then nodded.
21:35Oh.
21:36Got it.
21:37Go roll up the Persian rug in the front hall.
21:39I don't want blood on it.
21:41Mom stared at the frozen maid.
21:43Was I unclear?
21:45No, ma'am!
21:46The maid shivered and ran.
21:48Then three men with machetes charged into the garden.
21:51Rachel!
21:51You bitch!
21:53You're dead!
21:54The one in front, a guy with one eye, came screaming at mom.
21:58Mom didn't move.
21:59A hole suddenly opened right in the middle of his forehead.
22:03Aiden stepped out behind mom.
22:05His gun was still smoking.
22:06Ma'am.
22:07Outside is handled.
22:08Kill them!
22:09But mom calmly set down her teacup, then pulled out a pistol.
22:13One of them dropped.
22:15The last man froze when mom aimed at his head.
22:18Aiden said he was their boss.
22:20Mom walked over to him.
22:22I heard you wanted to see me.
22:25You're a monster.
22:26Go kill him.
22:27And I'll let you live.
22:30The man's eyes lit up.
22:32He grabbed a machete off the ground, then staggered toward dad.
22:36Dad didn't dodge or fight back.
22:38Don't!
22:38The gang boss froze.
22:41Mom's face dartened.
22:42Cece, come back here.
22:45I shook my head.
22:46Tears kept falling.
22:47Mom, don't kill him!
22:49Suddenly dad lunged.
22:51He snatched a dropped machete and drove it straight through the boss's heart.
22:54Without a second's hesitation, he yanked the bloody blade out and slashed his own throat.
22:58He collapsed at my feet.
23:00Mom rushed over and covered my eyes.
23:02Don't look.
23:03Cece, don't be scared.
23:04It's over now.
23:05Dad just went somewhere far away.
23:07I buried my face in mom's arms.
23:08I cried so hard I could barely breathe.
23:11Dad was gone.
23:12He was dead.
23:15Dad's death was just a blip.
23:16Soon my family owned all of Harbor City.
23:19Don Carmina handed mom the dragon head cane.
23:21She was the undisputed queen.
23:23She didn't send me to boring private schools.
23:25She taught me how to shoot.
23:27How to fight.
23:27Once I turned 18, the elders said I was colder than mom.
23:31Someone tried to test that.
23:32The rival family sent over a gift.
23:34A perfect, handsome young man.
23:37He poured my wine.
23:38He kissed my hand.
23:40He tried to play the flawless lover.
23:42That night, I saw him kneeling before mom in her office.
23:46Swearing his eternal loyalty.
23:48Begging to marry me.
23:49Really?
23:50What if I want your life?
23:51It's yours.
23:53He disappeared the next morning.
23:54He had crossed mom's only red line.
23:57Me.
23:57Later, I found mom in the garden.
23:59Casually snipping the heads off roses.
24:01He was boring anyway.
24:04She clipped the most beautiful rose and tucked it behind my ear.
24:08Power never betrays you, sissy.
24:10Men always do.
24:11I touched the thorns on the rose, and I finally smiled.
