Three Slaps, One Revenge Full Engsub
Transcript
00:00When my mother was slapped by my aunt three times at face, my father took off his family crest, and
00:05then the Sicily's Corleone Empire burned.
00:07The first slap cracked across my mother's face like a gunshot.
00:1047 champagne flutes froze in midair.
00:13I watched from the terrace, with my hands still wrapping around a glass of San Pellegrino, as my mother, Eleanor
00:18Corleone, may haze.
00:20Daughter of a Kansas wheat farmer, staggered sideways into the dessert cart.
00:24Eleanor.
00:25In this family, the daughter-in-law waits for the matriarch to sip.
00:30Before she breathes.
00:32That's lesson one.
00:34I started forward, but a grip of iron caught my wrist.
00:38It was from my father, Vito Corleone Jr.
00:41He didn't look at me.
00:42His eyes were locked on his wife's face.
00:45His expression was darkened.
00:47Serious.
00:48Lesson two.
00:50You married the primo, the firstborn son of the Corzioni family.
00:54Yet you hide in gardens while your mother-in-law celebrates her 80th birthday alone.
01:00Ashamed of your Haysten accent?
01:04You married the primo, the firstborn son of the Corzioni family.
01:09Yet you hide in gardens while your mother-in-law celebrates her 80th birthday alone.
01:14Ashamed of your Haysten accent?
01:16My mother's lips split.
01:18Her eyes went across the room, locating Carmela Corleone, her mother-in-law who never looked at her.
01:26Where Carmela Corleone sat in perpetual morning black, sipping Earl Grey as if her daughter weren't committing assault three feet
01:32away.
01:33Lesson three.
01:3421 years.
01:36No son.
01:39Just this.
01:40You failed the Corleone family, Eleanor.
01:42You failed our family.
01:46He loosened his right hand which held his sister back and raised his left one.
01:50The one wearing the Corleone ring that caught the Sicilian son streaming through arched windows.
01:55Passed from his father Don Vito Sr. on his deathbed with the words,
01:58Bring honor to the name.
02:01My father had brought it to Silicon Valley instead.
02:04He twisted.
02:05The ring resisted, skin clinging to metal.
02:11Eleanor.
02:15We're leaving.
02:19Vito!
02:25Yeah.
02:28Walk.
02:29We moved toward the doors.
02:30Forty-three relatives, I've counted them during the boring speeches, parted like the Red Sea.
02:36Some made the sign against evil eyes.
02:38You'll regret this!
02:40The family never forgets!
02:43The family never forgives!
02:46Three hours later.
02:48Palermo Airport Private Terminal.
02:50My mother hadn't spoken since the car, threw a chain around her neck, staring at her reflection in the dark
02:55window.
02:55The swelling on her cheek had purpled, but she still looked magnificent.
03:00My father paced.
03:01His phone, burner, encrypted, the kind he used for pre-IPO negotiations, grew hot against his ear.
03:07Marco.
03:08Three things.
03:10These Carmela and Antonia's cards.
03:12All 47 accounts.
03:14Do it now.
03:16While they're still at the party.
03:19These Carmela and Antonia's cards.
03:21All 47 accounts.
03:24Do it now.
03:25While they're still at the party.
03:27Then everything?
03:29Everything they eat, wear, or draw it comes from me.
03:32Correct that.
03:33And two.
03:34The villa.
03:35My father's jaw tightened.
03:37My father's will left me the Palermo estate.
03:40Antonia's been living there since the funeral.
03:42Eviction notice, 72 hours.
03:44For the first time in my life, I saw the mask drop.
03:48The polite, dutiful, good son persona he'd worn to every Christmas, every funeral, every guilt-drenched phone call.
03:54Romano and Associates.
03:56I want a public disappoundment.
03:58Press release.
03:59Social media, every platform.
04:01Voto Corona Jr. hereby severs all familial, financial, and social ties with the Sicilian Coroona family and its affiliates.
04:08Effective immediately.
04:29It wasn't a promise.
04:31It was a threat.
04:34We touched down at SFO at 6.47am.
04:37My father's phone exploded before we cleared customs.
04:40You humiliated me.
04:42Do you know what happened?
04:43The restaurant, Marco's birthday dinner, the card declined in front of everyone.
04:48I could picture it.
04:5040 guests watching Antonia Corleone fumble for payment like a tourist.
04:54Yes.
04:55I froze the card.
04:58To be exactly all cards.
05:01Reactivate the card right now.
05:03It's mother's birthday party.
05:05You are her firstborn son and you are obbladed to pay for this.
05:09Or you want to be recognized as my brother and the Corgioni family member.
05:13I mean it.
05:14As you wish, I will sever the tie.
05:17Vito, are you crazy?
05:20I am your sister.
05:23We are family.
05:25Not anymore.
05:28Father's words irritated Antonia and she hissed.
05:31I will destroy you and I'll call every reporter.
05:34I'll sit outside your building with a sign.
05:37I'll tell them about about the IPO.
05:39How Vito Corfoloni treats his own blood.
05:41Let's see how Wall Street likes that narrative.
05:44Are you scared?
05:46Then, beg me now and defreeze the cards.
05:50Vito, answer me.
05:52The stock price?
05:53Down 2% pre-market.
05:55I've seen worse during server outages.
05:57He opened the car door for my mother.
06:00Do whatever you think necessary, Antonia.
06:02I've already done what was necessary.
06:12I want to show you something.
06:16The drive took 40 minutes.
06:18South on 101, past the campuses that had built my father's fortune, into the redwood dark hills of Woodside.
06:23The gates opened to nothing we'd ever seen, no glass fortress.
06:32Like your mother's in Kansas.
06:34I had the soil tested, you can plant wheat if you want, or roses, or nothing at all.
06:38He moved through rooms like a man revealing a long time prepared surprise.
06:42Here, the clawfoot tub she'd mentioned once at a hotel in Napa.
06:46There, the reading nook with southern exposure.
06:48The shelves were already filled with her dog-eared paperbacks.
06:51Upstairs, the bedroom with windows on three sides.
06:54Nothing but forest and sky.
06:56I bought it three years ago, after the last Christmas, when you cried in the rental car, Eleanor, and told
07:04Gia you were tired of performing gratitude for people who despised you.
07:08Mother stood in the center of the bedroom.
07:10She touched the window frame, the bedpost, the quilt utterly unlike the fret linens of our Hillsboro life.
07:18Why didn't you?
07:20Because I was a coward.
07:23Because I thought if I gave them enough, they'd finally accept you.
07:27Accept us.
07:29I was wrong.
07:31I let them hurt you for 21 years.
07:34That debt is mine.
07:36And you, Gia, I let them teach you to apologize for existing.
07:40Never again.
07:49Then interrupted the phone ringing.
07:51It was my mother's, but from Antonia for the first time appearing on her phone.
07:55My father took it.
07:57Distant.
07:57Desperate.
07:58Filled the kitchen.
07:59You village girl!
08:00Low class of farmer's daughter!
08:02Give the phone to my brother!
08:05It was me.
08:06How dare you!
08:08The Villa Father's Villa!
08:10Our home!
08:10You can't evict me!
08:12I have rights!
08:13You have 72 hours.
08:15Then the locks change.
08:17The guards arrive.
08:18Your belongings go to storage in Palermo.
08:21You may retrieve them with proper identification on your reporting to the authorities.
08:25Vito, please.
08:27He hung up.
08:31Then my mom's phone started vibrating endlessly just like father's did early.
08:35The screen displayed the names of my so-called uncles and relatives,
08:38then being shut down by my father, blocking the new round of bombardment.
08:41Outside, California's sun burned through the fog.
08:44Welcome home.
08:48My first night at the new house was quiet,
08:50until I was awakened to the sound of my father's voice from downstairs, measured.
08:53The cardiac event was stress-induced, not acute.
08:56I have Dr. Chester's report from Mount Semi.
08:59Blood pressure elevated, yes?
09:01My pyriac infaction?
09:02No.
09:03Pause.
09:03Uncle Salvatore, I have paid for her care for 20 years.
09:06I will continue to pay as it is my duty as a son.
09:09What I will not do is return to the old days where she and her daughter,
09:12and every other standing by in the family to humiliate my wife and daughter.
09:15I am enough of their performance.
09:17The phone immediately lit again.
09:20Victor, my father's younger brother, who always envied my father's place.
09:23As the firstborn son, and who claimed himself the Don Victor,
09:26the moment my grandfather's coffin closed.
09:31Vito, you've left the family in a mess.
09:34About mother's health, the shame Antonia's endured,
09:37and frankly, your position.
09:40I've held this family together since you left,
09:42and I have took a lot for your absence.
09:45I'm not asking you to beg forgiveness.
09:47Just perspective.
09:49A gesture.
09:51Reactivate our cards.
09:52Visit for Christmas.
09:53Let me let us present a united front.
09:55You have it.
09:57You all have it.
09:58The united front?
10:00Against me?
10:02You wanted the title, Victor.
10:03The respect.
10:05The weight of the Corleone name.
10:07I just removed the competition.
10:08Congratulations.
10:09You're finally the primo.
10:12I just removed the competition.
10:14Congratulations.
10:15You're finally the primo.
10:16That's not-
10:17This isn't about-
10:18You've taken 12 million in loans since father died.
10:21Your wife's gallery.
10:22Your son's failed restaurants.
10:24Your seat on the Palermo City Council that I purchased.
10:27Keep them.
10:28Keep silent.
10:29He ended the call.
10:31Picked up the third phone, his public line, the one that never rang unless catastrophe struck, and began typing.
10:36I moved to my mother's side.
10:38Read over his shoulder.
10:40Subject, final clarification.
10:42To all Corleone family and affiliated parties, I have severed all ties with the Sicilian Corleone family.
10:47This includes financial, social, and hereditary obligations.
10:51All previous disbursements are concluded.
10:53All future requests will be forwarded to legal counsel.
10:56Thank you for your regards, but please do not contact me, my wife, or my daughter.
11:01This is not negotiable.
11:02This is not temporary.
11:04This is the new reality.
11:05He hit send.
11:06Copied all addressed that had sent their caring scolds.
11:09Just then, he removed the SIM card from each phone, dropped them into the stone fireplace, and watched plastic melt
11:14and silicon blacken.
11:15The world's quiet now.
11:17That evening, my father's chief of security called the landline.
11:20Antonia boarded a flight to San Francisco six hours ago.
11:24She wasn't alone.
11:25She brought a photographer from WSJ and a man who works for your father's largest competitor.
11:30The war, I realized, hadn't ended, and my aunt had just brought the press and the enemy to our front
11:35door.
11:37Came the notification from my high school friend instead of any of our security team.
11:41Is that Antonia, your family?
11:43Check TikTok.
11:44Your family's trending.
11:45I didn't want to.
11:47There she was.
11:48Antonia Corleone, center frame.
11:51My brother Vito was the golden son.
11:53The firstborn.
11:54The heir.
11:55And he abandoned us.
11:56For her.
11:58For this Kansas farm girl who couldn't even give him a son.
12:04The video cut to an old photo.
12:05My parents at Stanford.
12:07He chose passion over duty, leaving the family back.
12:10And now?
12:11Now he chooses her again.
12:13His wife insulted our mother at her 80th birthday, leading her to be hospitalized.
12:17His wife called her names I cannot repeat.
12:19And when I defended our family's honor, she touched her own cheek.
12:24Then he took us all.
12:26Our home.
12:27Our security.
12:29Our mother's medical care.
12:30The final frame.
12:32Silicon Valley billionaire Vito abandons mother Tio Dye.
12:37I scrolled.
12:382.3 million views in 40 minutes.
12:41Corleone betrayal trending globally.
12:43Comments flooding in from people who'd never heard of us 12 hours ago.
12:47Disgusting.
12:48That poor mother.
12:49That brave sister.
12:50My father appeared at my shoulder.
12:52The same blank he'd worn in boardrooms while acquiring companies that didn't want to be acquired.
12:59Marco, the ledger of Antoni and others.
13:02Everything.
13:02Now.
13:03He didn't raise his voice.
13:05Simply pulled a chair to the kitchen island and opened his laptop.
13:08Dad, you're not stopping it?
13:12I'm accelerating it.
13:13He showed me the screen.
13:15Boost the hashtag.
13:16Paid promotion.
13:18Maximum reach.
13:19You want more people to see this?
13:21I want everyone to see it.
13:23The lie must reach its maximum velocity before the truth intersects.
13:26Physics, Gia.
13:27Momentum.
13:28The harder she climbs, the harder she falls.
13:32500.
13:330-0-0 in promotional spend, directed at amplifying his own sister's accusation.
13:38Then he opened another window.
13:40The Corleone ledger, but expanded.
13:42Not just financial records.
13:44Medical reports proving Carmela's critical condition was elevated blood.
13:48Pressure.
13:49Flight manifests showing Antonia's first-class travel while claiming destitution.
13:52This will force him to pay.
13:54Play it up.
13:55When?
13:56When the WSJ piece publishes.
13:58Three hours.
13:59She thinks she's controlling the media.
14:02She's actually building our audience.
14:04My mother appeared in the doorway.
14:06Her cheek, still bruised.
14:08They'll believe her.
14:10They always believe her.
14:12My father stood.
14:13Crossed to her.
14:14Took the ring from her neck and pressed it into her palm.
14:17Closing her fingers around the black onyx.
14:20Eleanor.
14:21In three hours, the world will know what that ring cost.
14:25What I chose.
14:26And what choosing you meant to them.
14:29Turned back to his screens.
14:31Let her fly.
14:32Let her touch the sun.
14:33Outside, California burned blue and gold and blameless.
14:37Inside, my father prepared the wings that would melt.
14:42They landed at LAX at 11.23 AM.
14:45By 2.47 PM, Antonia Corleone had transformed the sidewalk outside my father's technologies into a theater of grief.
14:52She positioned herself perfectly between the company logo and the street, where every passing car and every phone camera would
14:59capture both her peers and our name.
15:01The Wall Street Journal photographer knelt at her left, capturing angles.
15:05The competitor's man stood at her right, holding a microphone toward the crowd full of influencers, YouTubers, passengers, or whatever,
15:12like a priest collecting confessions.
15:15I watched from the security feed streaming to my father's tablet.
15:2121 years!
15:22He enjoyed wealthy life with his wife and daughter with his rising empire.
15:26I buried our father while he honeymooned in Napa!
15:30And now, now he leaves my mother to die because his American wife snapped her fingers!
15:36The crowd swelled.
15:37TikTokers with ring lights.
15:39Protesters with prefab signs.
15:40Billionaire betrayal ungrateful Vito printed in crimson.
15:43This is what healthcare inequality looks like!
15:45This billionaire doesn't care who dies!
15:47Jesus knew what this had to do with her.
15:51Our stock ticker scrolled across my father's second monitor.
15:55Minus 4.7%.
15:56Minus 5.2%.
15:58Minus 6.1%.
16:00My mother's hand found mine.
16:02She said nothing.
16:04Her cheek, still violet.
16:06Still healing, face the window, toward the outside, away from the performance.
16:10My father's phone buzzed.
16:12Watching Vito.
16:14CNBC's arriving in 10.
16:15Bloomberg after that.
16:16Your precious IPO, your legacy.
16:18I'll bury it under so much shame your grandchildren will smell it.
16:21Unless you reactivate the cards.
16:23Public apology.
16:24Family dinner.
16:24Televised.
16:25Me at your right hand.
16:26Choose now, brother.
16:27The world is watching.
16:28My father looked at the tablet.
16:30At his sister, mid-gesture.
16:32Mascara tracking perfectly down her cheek.
16:34At the competitor's man, adjusting his earpiece, receiving instructions from someone who wanted
16:38us destroyed.
16:39Then he typed one-handed.
16:41A single text, sent to the number that had called.
16:43He ended the call.
16:45Three minutes.
16:47Marco's team just went live.
16:49Three minutes later, Antonio looked up at the massive screen on my father's company building.
16:55Her face went pale.
16:59The screen blazed with evidence from an account named Corleone Truth.
17:02The post showed.
17:03Screenshots of Antonia's texts to my father.
17:0640k for Marco's tuition.
17:07Please, please, please.
17:09You're the only one who understands.
17:11Dated three days before her destitution performance.
17:13Bank transfers totaling 4.8 million over 15 years.
17:16Each labeled gift or emergency, each accompanied by her voice notes, syrupy with gratitude.
17:21Flight manifests.
17:23First class Palermo to Paris, 8,400.
17:26Monaco Grand Prix Suite, 22,000.
17:29Hermes quarterly statements that could have funded a small hospital.
17:32Then the video.
17:34Security footage from the birthday party.
17:36Three slacks.
17:37My mother's blood.
17:38Posted side by side with Antonia's hospital performance.
17:41Her untouched cheek.
17:43Her practiced grief.
17:44Finally, the medical report.
17:46Dr. Chester's letterhead.
17:48Renowned in academic circles.
17:50Patient Carmela Corleone.
17:52Mild hypertension.
17:53Stable violence.
17:54No acute intervention required.
17:56Discharge recommended.
17:57Dated the same day as Antonia's dying mother campaign.
18:02A woman lowered her sign.
18:04Checking her phone.
18:05Turning to her friend with confusion.
18:07The TikTokers pivoting their ring lights toward their own faces.
18:10Reacting to the reversal.
18:11The woman in scrubs walked away.
18:13Shaking her head.
18:14By 3.15pm, Corleone Truth trended above Corleone Betrayal.
18:18The comments inverted.
18:20She took over 5M and played victim?
18:22That billionaire's poor wife was actually the one who got hit and never said a word.
18:26The billionaire was the ATM, not the villain.
18:29My father's phone rang.
18:31He didn't answer.
18:32It rang again and again.
18:34The fourth time, he lifted it.
18:37Vito, please, take it down.
18:39I'll do anything.
18:40The reporters are asking about Monaco.
18:42About the transfers.
18:43They're saying fraud.
18:44They're saying prison.
18:45Vito, I'm your sister.
18:46I'm your blood.
18:50She'll call back.
18:52She'll have to get in line.
18:54He turned to my mother, who hadn't moved from the window.
18:56Eleanor, the stock's recovering.
18:58The narrative's corrected.
18:59And I have a meeting in 20 minutes with someone who actually matters.
19:03What matters?
19:05Our daughter's college counselor.
19:06She wants to discuss your early decision application to Stanford and your essay about
19:10family legacy impressed them.
19:11Outside, Antonia's crowd had dispersed.
19:14The Wall Street Journal photographer packed his gear.
19:17The competitor's man spoke urgently into his phone, receiving instructions from someone
19:21who'd realized they'd backed the wrong horse.
19:23My father opened the window, actual wood, actual brass latch, and let California afternoon
19:28flood the room.
19:29Redwood sent.
19:30The distant hum of 101.
19:33The absolute.
19:34Ringing silence of victory.
19:35His phone buzzed once more.
19:37A text from Uncle Victor.
19:39What have you done?
19:40You want to destroy the family?
19:42Mom is almost dying because of you.
19:46The call came through Victor.
19:47Vito, it's mother.
19:49Cardiac arrest.
19:50They're saying, they're saying hours, maybe less.
19:52She keeps asking for you.
19:54Which hospital?
19:54Mount Center.
19:55The cardiac unit.
19:56Victor's voice shifted.
19:57But Vito.
19:58That familiar poison seeping back in.
20:00She won't see you, not unless you come alone, without them, publicly.
20:04The family needs to see you take your place again.
20:07I read my father's face.
20:08The calculation returning.
20:10Send me her chart.
20:11What?
20:12Her medical records.
20:13Now.
20:14Or I book a flight to Sicily and walk into every cardiac unit until I find her.
20:18Marco.
20:19Mount Center, Sicily.
20:20The family patient, Carmela Corleone, I want her attending proficient's direct line in
20:23ten minutes, and I want someone in their records department who owes us a favor.
20:28The phone rang in seven minutes.
20:31Mr. Corleone.
20:32A young voice.
20:33Exhausted.
20:34Overworked.
20:36I'm Dr. Patel.
20:37Your mother's physician.
20:38Her condition.
20:39Stable.
20:40Concerning, but stable.
20:41We admitted her this morning with chest pain.
20:43Tropaton levels elevated, yes.
20:44But no infaction.
20:45No arrest.
20:46We're monitoring.
20:47Hours to live?
20:47I wouldn't characterize it that way, no.
20:49With proper management, she could be discharged in days.
20:52And her medications?
20:53There was an incident this morning.
20:55A family member, your sister, I believe, insisted on administering your mother's evening
20:59dose herself.
21:00She brought pills we couldn't identify.
21:02When we refused, she became distressed.
21:04Said we were prolonging the inevitable.
21:07My father thanked Dr. Patel.
21:09Walked to the window.
21:10The life he built from nothing.
21:11She's withholding medication, creating crisis, using mother's condition as leverage.
21:17Will you go?
21:20He turned.
21:21The bruise.
21:22Fading to yellow now.
21:23The 21 years.
21:24The ring on its chain.
21:26His honor.
21:27His choice.
21:28His everything.
21:29Once I would have run to that hospital.
21:32Kneeled.
21:33Begged.
21:34Paid whatever price they named.
21:36Not anymore.
21:38His phone buzzed.
21:39Victor again.
21:41He ignored it.
21:42Dialed fresh.
21:44Romano.
21:45I need a legal team.
21:47And something else.
21:48I want to make a donation.
21:51Seven figures.
21:53Named for my mother, administered by my attorneys.
21:56With one condition.
21:57He looked at us.
21:59At this house.
22:00At the world he'd finally claimed.
22:02My sister never enters that building again.
22:05The war I understood then wasn't ending.
22:07It was becoming permanent.
22:09Mount Center's board accepted the donation in six hours.
22:13My father's terms were surgical.
22:14His mother would receive the finest cardiac care in the western hemisphere.
22:18Private suite.
22:19Round the clock nursing.
22:20A concierge physician flown from Geneva.
22:22In exchange, Antonia Corleone would be barred from the premises by court order.
22:26Her name added to the hospital security watch list like a common shoplifter.
22:29You're buying her imprisonment.
22:31I'm buying her irrelevance.
22:32She wanted to use mother's illness as leverage.
22:33Now she can't even enter the building.
22:35Watching him sign the documents via video link.
22:37The phone rang.
22:38Victor.
22:39Screaming about kidnapping and elder abuse and the old families will hear of this.
22:43My father listened for 40 seconds.
22:46Tell Antonia she has 72 hours to vacate the Palamo Villa.
22:50After that, I donate it to the Catholic Church as a refugee shelter.
22:57Mother stood at the kitchen window.
23:00Who had been silent since the call from New York.
23:04Eleanor?
23:04The ring on its chain catching sunset.
23:07I saw her 21 years younger.
23:08Kansas.
23:09Freedom.
23:10The girl who'd never heard of Corleone.
23:12She's still your mother.
23:13And you're still my wife.
23:14He crossed to her, took her hands.
23:17The ring pressed between their palms like a secret.
23:19The difference is, I chose you.
23:22Every day for 21 years, I chose them instead.
23:26Not anymore.
23:29That night, we learned Antonia had done something desperate.
23:32She'd flown to New York anyway.
23:34Checked into a hotel three blocks from Mount Center.
23:37And called every reporter who'd ever covered the Corleone story with a new narrative.
23:41Billionaire son imprisons dying mother.
23:43Exiles his blood sister.
23:44The video she released, filmed in her hotel bathroom, mascara deliberately smeared, went viral in 40 minutes.
23:50But this time, my father was ready.
23:52This time, he had Dr. Patel.
23:57My father held the press at Corleone Technologies.
24:00The future crushing the past beneath its heel.
24:02He wore no ring.
24:04No tie.
24:05A simple navy sweater that could have belonged to any Silicon Valley engineer.
24:10Ladies and gentlemen, members of the media, I'm Vito Corleone Jr.,
24:13Chief Executive Officer of Corleone Technologies.
24:16I'd like to draw your attention to the big screen right behind me.
24:19Dr. Patel stepped forward.
24:21Read the incident report.
24:22Based on our data and investigated findings,
24:26Antonia attempted to administer unidentifiable pills to a patient with cardiac disease.
24:30My mother, Mrs. Carmela Corleone, suffers from manageable hypertension.
24:36She is not dying.
24:37She has never been dying.
24:40My sister withheld her medication to create a crisis.
24:46Then my father played the recording.
24:48Keep her sick.
24:49Keep her scared.
24:51He'll come running back.
24:54My sister has taken 4.8 million from me.
24:59She has slandered my wife.
25:02She has assaulted my family.
25:06And now she has endangered my mother's life for attention.
25:10He looked directly into the camera.
25:14To the Corleone family, I am done paying for your theater.
25:17The questions started.
25:19He answered none.
25:20Simply walked out.
25:22My mother on his arm, me behind them like an honor guard.
25:25Corleone Truth dominated every platform.
25:27Antonia's hotel video, still playing on loop, became evidence of her own prosecution.
25:32And then came the call from the Corleone family.
25:35Sicily.
25:35Not Victor.
25:37Not Antonia.
25:38Carmela herself.
25:42Vito.
25:45They tell me you won't let me see Antonia.
25:48They tell me you almost died.
25:50Because she withheld your medication.
25:52Silence.
25:53The sound of oxygen machinery.
25:55She's my only daughter.
25:58My father stood at the farmhouse window.
26:00You have me.
26:01I am your son, mother.
26:04You had me for 43 years.
26:06You chose her instead.
26:09She stayed.
26:10She didn't run to America.
26:12She didn't marry someone the word caught beneath her.
26:15I will pay for your care until you die.
26:18I will ensure you want for nothing.
26:20But I will not see you.
26:22And you will never see my wife and you will not see my daughter.
26:25That is the price of your choice.
26:27Then let me see Antonia.
26:30Let her visit.
26:32She's suffering, Vito.
26:34She's lost everything.
26:36She has 72 hours to vacate my property.
26:40After that, she will have nothing from me.
26:43He hung up.
26:44For a long moment, he stood motionless.
26:46Then he turned to us.
26:48And his face was dry.
26:49No tears.
26:51No regret.
26:52She'll try something.
26:54She already has.
26:56Father showed me his phone.
26:57Grandmother's will.
26:59Signed yesterday.
27:00Everything to Antonia.
27:01Nothing to you.
27:02He smiled.
27:04Good.
27:06Let her take what I won't care about anymore.
27:08And in Mount Center, Carmela Corleone pressed her nurse's call button, asked for a pen,
27:13and changed her will one final time, leaving everything to the Catholic Church, ensuring
27:17her daughter would fight over nothing but ash.
