Short filmTranscript
00:02Dad is the godfather of the Moretti family, running the city's black market arms trade.
00:06Mom is the only heir of the Severino family.
00:13Mom and Dad's love is a legendary New York drug in the world.
00:19On the surface, the Severinos run a high-end private hospital.
00:23In reality, they control New York's underground drug trade.
00:26And Mom is the family's top doctor.
00:28Years ago, Dad saved Mom from an assassination attempt.
00:31He got framed for leaking secrets.
00:33Because of that, he loses his chance to become a core member of the East Coast Mafia Commission.
00:38He never regrets it because he loves Mom.
00:41The private medical center outside New York, close to the public, is Dad's gift to Mom.
00:46The night I'm born, Dad hires New York's biggest orchestra to play outside our estate all night.
00:50People say I'm the only witness to this legendary love.
00:55Until I'm five, a beautiful woman starts visiting our house often.
00:59She's always by Dad's side.
01:00She corners me in the garden, strokes the toy Dad gave me.
01:04You know, your mom's old now.
01:06She can't even hold a scalpel steady.
01:10Only I can protect your Dad's future.
01:13Soon, I'll be the one in charge here.
01:28I don't fully understand, but I repeat her words to Mom.
01:32The next day, I hear the family talking about her.
01:35The Moretti family's genius sniper, Vivienne, suffers permanent nerve damage in both hands from an accident.
01:40Mom is in the study, polishing her scalpel blades shining.
01:45Nina, Mom just got rid of a piece of trash for you.
01:50Do you like this gift?
01:53Dad, when are you back?
01:54I barely finish the words when I see him storm past me, face dark, heading straight for the study.
01:59He kicks the door open. Mom sits at the desk, calmly polishing a silver scalpel with a velvet cloth.
02:06Sophia, was this you?
02:09Vivienne's hands, ruined! Her whole life is over!
02:12Do you even know how important she was to me?
02:14Mom looks up.
02:15She was trash.
02:17I cleaned her up.
02:19What's the problem?
02:25What's the problem?
02:29She was a genius.
02:31Do you know how much effort I put into training her as an assassin?
02:35And you just destroy her!
02:37My legs go weak.
02:38That gun, I've seen it.
02:40Dad uses it on every mission.
02:41It's killed countless enemies.
02:43I scream and rush forward, throwing my arms around Mom to shield her.
02:47Dad, you can't hurt Mom!
02:49For a moment, the fire in Dad's eyes wavers when he sees me.
02:52The gun dips slightly.
02:54Mom quickly pulls me into her arms.
02:55I can feel her heart racing, but she's smiling.
03:00So, your subordinates matter more to you than your own daughter?
03:07Sophia, you disappoint me.
03:11Vivienne only admires me.
03:12She did nothing wrong.
03:13It's you!
03:14You can't tolerate anyone!
03:16From today, she stays in our house.
03:19I'll take care of her myself until she recovers.
03:23This is what you owe her.
03:25I watch his broad back disappear.
03:27And for the first time, the legends about Dad.
03:29They don't seem so bright anymore.
03:33I watch his broad back disappear.
03:35And for the first time, the legends about Dad.
03:37They don't seem so bright anymore.
03:39The next day, Vivienne moves into our house.
03:41She's in a wheelchair, her hands wrapped in thick bandages.
03:44Dad pushes her inside himself.
03:46She stays in the guest room next to Mom and Dad's bedroom that used to be my room.
03:49The one with the best sunlight.
03:51But Dad tells me to give it to her.
03:53Dad hires the most professional private nurses to care for her around the clock.
03:57He even moves his study into her room so he can work while keeping her company.
04:01Dad barely goes anywhere else.
04:02Even at night, he stays in her room.
04:05I often hear laughter, light and happy, and Dad's gentle voice soothing her.
04:09Overnight, it feels like Mom and I don't belong in our own home anymore.
04:11Vivienne is a good actor.
04:13When Dad is around, she leans weakly in her wheelchair, speaking softly.
04:17Eyes always red.
04:19Boss.
04:20It's my fault.
04:22If I didn't admire you so much, if I didn't hang around,
04:25Mrs. Morello wouldn't have misunderstood.
04:27My hands.
04:28It's okay.
04:29As long as I see you every day, I'm happy.
04:31Don't worry.
04:32I'll make sure she answers to you.
04:34But the moment Dad leaves, Vivienne's eyes turn sharp as knives.
04:37I'll be back soon, Vivienne.
04:41Clean this room.
04:42A five-year-old brat still playing with such childish things.
04:46Yes, miss.
04:47Tell Sophia this is compensation.
04:49Her precious daughter now belongs to me.
04:53Tell Sophia this is compensation.
04:56Her precious daughter now belongs to me.
04:59Nina, don't cry.
05:01Remember, when a dog bites you, you don't kill it right away.
05:05You first pull its teeth, cut its claws so it can't bite or scratch.
05:09Then, take your time.
05:12Watch it panic and despair.
05:14I half understand.
05:17That night, a lot of people come to our house.
05:20Doctors from the Severino Family Hospital and important members of the Moretti family.
05:25Dad thinks Mom will give in.
05:26He relaxes a little.
05:27At the dinner table, Mom raises her glass, smiling calm and graceful.
05:31Tonight, I invited everyone to witness something.
05:35Miss Vivienne was badly injured in an accident, leaving permanent nerve damage in both hands.
05:39As a doctor and godmother of the Moretti family, I feel deeply for her.
05:42So, I've decided to personally handle all her rehab for free.
05:45Using all my resources.
05:47Until she fully recovers.
05:49Dad and Vivienne's faces change instantly.
05:52A killer, doing rehab for her victim.
05:55This isn't treatment, it's torture.
05:57Vivienne's pride is under the scalpel, stripped away one cut at a time.
06:03Vivienne's pride is under the scalpel, stripped away one cut at a time.
06:07Dad almost loses it on the spot.
06:08But he looks around at all the heads of both families in the room and grits his teeth, forcing himself
06:13to stay calm.
06:14Sophia, you.
06:15Mom sets down her wine glass, cutting him off.
06:18What?
06:19You don't trust my medical skills?
06:22Or do you think I'm taking revenge?
06:24Her gaze sweeps the room, landing on the doctor's.
06:28What do you think?
06:29Mrs. Marotti is world class.
06:31Of course we trust her.
06:32Yeah, having Mrs. Marotti in charge is Vivienne's luck.
06:34He knows Mom is setting him up.
06:36Publicly.
06:37In front of all these people, he can't question his wife's skills.
06:40He can't admit she's taking revenge.
06:42If he does, it'll look like the alliance between the Marotti and Severino families is broken.
06:47For a family boss, that's deadly.
06:50Vivienne sits in her wheelchair, trembling with anger, her hands under the bandages seeming to ache all over.
06:56Sophia, don't get smug. Mr. Marotti won't let you get away with this.
07:00Vivienne.
07:01Relax.
07:03The first step in nerve rehab is electrotherapy.
07:09Don't worry.
07:10I'll handle it myself, making sure the current hits every damaged nerve ending.
07:15Vivienne's face drains of color.
07:17Electroshock therapy.
07:18She knows exactly what that means.
07:24I'll handle it myself, making sure the current hits every damaged nerve ending.
07:29Vivienne's face drains of color.
07:31Electroshock therapy.
07:32She knows exactly what that means.
07:34I can already see her struggling on the treatment table.
07:37Screaming at me.
07:38After sending the guests away, Dad finally loses it.
07:42He slams his hand on the table.
07:44Enough, Sophia.
07:45Do you have to be this cruel?
07:46Cruel, Luca.
07:49When you brought that woman home did you ever think about how I feel when you pointed a gun at
07:53me for her?
07:54Did you think about I'm your wife?
07:56When you let her bully your daughter, did you think about being a father?
07:59You're the one who pushed everything to the limit
08:08Her voice is quiet
08:09But every word cuts straight to the heart
08:11The whole dining room falls silent
08:13Dad moves his lips
08:14But no words come out
08:16Nina
08:18Let's go home
08:21It was my fault, okay?
08:22My fault
08:22My fault
08:29It was my fault
08:31Don't you me, Felis
08:32And then what?
08:33I gave you a chance
08:34I messed everything up
08:35I apologize
08:35But please don't take my daughter away
08:37Please
08:37I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
08:40This is supposed to be our home
08:42It's all my fault
08:44Please don't leave
08:44Don't take our daughter with you
08:46But the way she says it
08:47It's time to go
08:52Please don't leave
08:53Please don't leave
08:56It feels like stepping into a cold, empty hotel
09:05After that night, Dad gives in
09:07He can't risk his future and reputation
09:09Vivian's rehab treatment is set
09:11The location is the private medical center
09:13Dad once gifted Mom outside New York
09:15The next day, Mom moves us there
09:17She says the house is too dirty
09:19And needs disinfecting
09:20The retreat is beautiful like a fairy tale castle
09:23But the air feels heavy and tense
09:24Every nurse and Dr. Bowes respectfully
09:26When they see Mom
09:27Eyes full of awe and fear
09:29Vivian's treatment room is at the very back
09:31I sneak a peek once
09:33Through thick glass
09:34I see Vivian strapped to the table
09:36Mom wears her white coat and mask
09:38Eyes cold and focused
09:39She holds two metal probes
09:41Moving them along Vivian's arms
09:43Every touch makes Vivian's body jerk violently
09:45She lets out muffled sharp screams
09:47The sound
09:48It's like nail scraping glass
09:50Piercing my ears
09:52I run back to my room
09:53Trembling under the blanket
09:55Dad comes to see me once
09:56He looks thinner
09:57Bloodshot eyes
09:58He holds me close
09:59Boy's horse
10:00I know Mom's hurting you
10:02But Vivian
10:03She doesn't deserve this
10:04Please
10:05Talk to her
10:06Make her stop
10:07She'll break Vivian if this goes on
10:09I look at him seriously
10:10Daddy
10:12Do you still love Mommy?
10:14He freezes
10:14Doesn't answer for a long time
10:16He just hugs me tighter
10:17As if drawing strength from me
10:18Nina
10:19Grown up things are complicated
10:21You'll understand one day
10:22I don't understand
10:23All I know is
10:24Mom is unhappy
10:25Vivian's screams become the retreat's daily soundtrack
10:28A month later they finally release her
10:30Curls up at the sight of anyone
10:32Whispering over and over
10:33Don't shock me
10:34Please
10:35Don't shock me
10:36She's gone mad
10:37When Dad comes to pick her up
10:38He sees her like this
10:40The cold, ruthless mafia boss
10:42His eyes are red, almost bleeding
10:44He doesn't yell at Mom
10:45He doesn't lose his temper
10:46He just stares at her calmly
10:48Eyes like a deep
10:49Unfathomable abyss
10:50Sophia
10:51You win
10:52He says it quietly
10:53Mom takes off her glasses
10:54Wipes them
10:55Voice calm as ever
10:56The war
10:57Has only just begun
10:59Dad carries the broken Vivian
11:01Out of the retreat
11:02I think it's over
11:04I'm wrong
11:04Dad's counterattack
11:06Comes faster and harsher
11:07What he wants to destroy
11:08Isn't Mom's career
11:09Or reputation
11:10It's me
11:15Dad uses the family connections
11:17To transfer me to a new school
11:18In fact it is not a school
11:20It's a training camp
11:21Run by several east coast families
11:22Designed to turn kids
11:24Into professional assassins
11:25He says I'm the future heir
11:26Of the Moretti family
11:27But Mom has spoiled me too much
11:29I need real training
11:30He says it's for my own good
11:32But every other heir
11:33Gets private education
11:34No heir ever gets sent
11:35To an assassin training camp
11:36Mom disagrees
11:37Luca
11:38If you dare touch Nina
11:40I swear to God
11:41If you like playing games
11:43Then let's play
11:43I want to see
11:44Whose methods are better
11:46Your ways of torturing people
11:48Or my ways of training
11:51I'm taken away in a black SUV
11:53Mom runs after the car
11:54Screaming my name heart-wrenching
11:56I press my face to the window
11:58Watching her figure shrink
11:59Until she disappears
12:00The camp is worse than anything
12:01I imagined
12:02It's hell
12:03The instructors follow Dad's orders
12:05Without question
12:05They're especially strict with me
12:07At 5 years old
12:08But I train with 10 year olds
12:10Wake up at 4 a.m
12:11Run 10 kilometers with weights
12:13Finish or no food
12:14Days are filled with combat
12:16Shooting
12:16Obstacle courses
12:17Kids die here all the time
12:19Fall down
12:20No comfort
12:21Only cold scolding
12:22Future heir of the Moretti family
12:24This is all you got
12:25Don't you dare embarrass us
12:28Crying
12:29Tears
12:30Are for the weak
12:31You want to be weak
12:32You die here
12:33At night
12:34I lie on the cold metal bed
12:36Covered in bruises
12:37Aching for mom
12:38I get sick often
12:40Running high fevers
12:41But the doctors are cold
12:43One shot then
12:44Mr. Morelli said minor illnesses
12:46Don't need treatment
12:47Pushing through builds your willpower
12:49I feel like I'm dying
12:50One stormy night
12:52I get another high fever
12:53I hear the dorm door crash open
12:55A tall figure stands in the doorway
12:57It's Dad
12:58He walks to my bed
12:59Sophia
13:00Want to see your daughter?
13:01Red Hutch
13:02The abandoned warehouse of the poor
13:03Come alone
13:04Don't play games
13:05Or
13:05You better be ready to collect her body
13:07He hangs up
13:08Roughly lifts me from the bed
13:09Wraps me in a blanket
13:10And tosses me into the car
13:12I don't know where he's taking me
13:13I only know
13:14There's no love in his eyes
13:16Only burning
13:17Insane hate
13:18He's not trying to train me
13:19He's using me
13:20To drive mom crazy
13:25The abandoned warehouse looms
13:27Like a giant beast in the dark
13:28The air smells of rust and gassing
13:30Weeds grow in the cracks of the cracked concrete floor
13:33Dad ties me to a rusty iron pit
13:35My fever keeps rising
13:37I keep screaming for mom
13:38Mom
13:39Nina
13:40Don't be afraid
13:41Your mom will be here soon
13:43Daddy just wants to play a game with her
13:47A game
13:48About choices
13:49Soon
13:50The screech of break shatters the rainy night
13:53Mom is here
13:54She's all alone
13:55Wearing a thin coat soaked to the bone
13:57When she sees me tied to the pillar
13:59We normally calm eyes fill with fear and rage
14:02Luca
14:03You madman
14:04Let my daughter go
14:05Dad's smile standing between us
14:07See that?
14:07Sophia
14:08Nina's running a fever of a wonder and three
14:10If we don't treat it
14:11She'll fry her brain
14:12And become an idiot
14:13Mom turns pale as paper
14:14What do you want?
14:15Simple
14:16Now you choose
14:17Jump in your cell
14:18Or watch your precious daughter burn into a fool
14:21A cement shoe
14:22One of the family's cruelest punishments
14:23Feet go into the cement
14:25Wait for it to harden
14:26Throw the man in the river
14:27Even the body never floats
14:28I'll give you ten seconds
14:31Ten
14:32Nine
14:32Mom looks at me
14:33Tears pouring down
14:34She seems to be regretting
14:36Loving a man like this
14:37Getting tangled with him
14:38And dragging her own child into the mess
14:40Three
14:42Stop
14:43I'll jump
14:44She turns back
14:45Nina
14:47I'm sorry
14:49Mom loves you
14:52Then she closes her eyes and steps in
15:05Dad's smile freezes
15:06He can't believe what's happening
15:08A familiar figure steps out from behind the soldier
15:11It's the head of the medical center
15:13The one mom trusts most
15:14He walks to the iron barrel
15:15Helps mom down
15:16Then turns to dad with a pitying smile
15:19Mr. Moretti
15:20You lost
15:21Madam knew you'd try to threaten her with your daughter
15:24So she replaced all the cement here
15:26With ordinary plaster powder beforehand
15:27Dad is completely stunned
15:29He looks at the barrel
15:30Then at mom's safe unharmed
15:32And his expression shifts from shock
15:33To anger
15:34To total defeat
15:35Like a tiger with its teeth pulled
15:37He collapses to the ground
15:38Sophia
15:40You're cruel
15:41Mom brushes the plaster from her feet
15:43Walks up to dad
15:44Speaking slowly
15:45Luca
15:47I told you the war has only just begun
15:50You think kidnapping Nina gives you leverage over me?
15:53You underestimate a mother
15:55And overestimate yourself
15:57Soon the soldiers mom brought have dad under control
16:00And take him away
16:01She reports his actions to the mafia commission
16:03Dad is investigated for abusing his power
16:06Maliciously targeting the Severino heir
16:09And kidnapping the Moretti heir
16:10I return to the medical center with mom
16:13After the fever subsides
16:14I fall seriously ill
16:15Mom never leaves my side
16:16She feeds me
16:18Cooks for me
16:19Tells me stories
16:20Her arms are still warm
16:21But something feels different
16:22Her gaze
16:23Besides love
16:25There's a sharpness
16:25I don't fully understand
16:26Two weeks later
16:28After consulting with Moretti family leaders
16:30The commission hands dad over to the Severino family
16:33He loses his position as Moretti mafia boss
16:35I as the heir become the new leader of the family
16:38The Severinos lock dad in their private prison for 10 years
16:42They try to make mom divorce dad
16:44Cutting ties with the Moretti family but she refuses
16:46On the day dad goes to prison
16:48Mom is pruning an orchid
16:49She does it slowly
16:50Like she's crafting a work of art
16:52Nina do you hate your father?
16:53I shake my head
16:54I don't know what hate is
16:56I only feel sad
16:57That's right
16:57Don't hate
16:58Hating someone is exhausting
17:00The cleanest way is to remove them from your world
17:02Like trimming these extra leaves
17:04Mom starts teaching me more than fairy tales and piano
17:07She teaches anatomy
17:09Letting me know every bone
17:10Every vein
17:11Every nerve
17:11She teaches chemistry
17:13Showing me the makeup of poisons
17:14And how they act on the body
17:15She teaches psychology
17:17How to read people
17:18How to exploit human weakness
17:20She says
17:21Nina
17:21I can't protect you forever
17:23The sharpest weapon in this world
17:24Isn't a gun or a knife
17:26It's your mind
17:27You have to be stronger
17:28Smarter
17:28Colder
17:29Than anyone else
17:30That way
17:30No one will ever hurt you again
17:32I become her perfect creation
17:33Calm, rational
17:34Even cold
17:35Ten years pass in the blink of an eye
17:40When I'm fifteen
17:41Dad gets out of prison
17:42He's old now
17:43His back is hunched
17:44Half his hair is white
17:45The fire in his eyes completely gone
17:47He comes looking for us
17:48That day
17:49I'm in the garden
17:50Watering mom's newly grown black tulips
17:52He stands not far away
17:54Staring at me guilty
17:55Trying to make up for the past
17:57Nina
17:59You've grown so much
18:00His voice is dry hoarse
18:02Like sandpaper scraping across wood
18:04I ignore him
18:05Keeping my focus on the flowers
18:06He fidgets
18:07Takes a worn cloth doll
18:09From behind his back
18:10This
18:10This was your favorite
18:12When you were little
18:12I kept it all these years
18:14I look at the doll
18:14The one he brought me from France
18:16When I was five
18:17Vivian had thrown it in the trash
18:19But somehow he saved it
18:21Do you want something?
18:22I ask coldly
18:23My coldness stabs him
18:25A sheen of tears forms in his cloudy eyes
18:27Nina
18:29I know I was wrong
18:32Every day these ten years
18:34I've been regretting it
18:35He's almost begging
18:37Can you let me see your mother?
18:40I just want to say sorry
18:43Just once
18:44Then mom comes out of the house
18:45She wears an elegant white dress
18:47Ten years have passed
18:48Yet there's no trace on her face
18:50Only more poise
18:51More icy calm
18:52She stands on the steps
18:53Looking down at him
18:54Like he's a stranger
18:56Luca?
18:57What are you doing here?
18:59Dad trembles
19:00Moves a few steps forward
19:01Then stops abruptly
19:03Sophia
19:04I
19:05Leave
19:05His face changes instantly
19:07His fists clench
19:09The pleading in his eyes
19:10Turns to resentment and anger
19:16Mom
19:16You
19:17You meant to kill him
19:19No
19:20I just wanted him
19:21Silenced forever
19:22A dead man or a vegetable
19:23Won't go around spreading lies
19:25Ruining my reputation
19:28It's better for you
19:29For the medical center
19:32For everyone
19:32Suddenly
19:33I understand what she meant
19:34Ten years ago when she said
19:36The war has only just begun
19:37Her goal was never just to send dad to prison
19:40Her goal was to erase him
19:41From this world completely
19:42Leave no trace
19:44Three days later
19:45News comes from the hospital
19:46Dad survived
19:47But the brain damage
19:48From prolonged oxygen deprivation
19:50Has left him a vegetable
19:51He's moved into our medical center
19:53The same room Vivienne once stayed in
19:55Mom personally designed his rehabilitation plan
19:58Every day
19:59I watch nurses wheel him into that treatment room
20:01Where Vivienne's screams once echoed
20:03I don't know what happens inside
20:05All I see is dad's body shrinking before my eyes
20:08Wasting away
20:09Like a plant drained of every drop of life
20:11And mom's black tulips
20:12Bloom more vibrant than ever
20:14Almost
20:15Unnatural
20:16On my 18th birthday
20:18Mom throws a grand coming of age party for me
20:20The venue is the banquet hall of our medical center
20:22Important figures from every major family
20:25In New York's underground world attend
20:27Mom holds my hand introducing me to each of them
20:29This is my daughter Nina
20:31And the future head of both the Moreci and Severino families
20:35Applause fills the hall
20:36People look at me with admiration and envy
20:38But I feel like I can't breathe
20:40All of this feels like a carefully built cage
20:43Halfway through the party
20:44And uninvited guest storms in
20:46Vivienne
20:46Ten years have passed
20:47She is no longer the hysterical woman trapped in a wheelchair
20:50She wears a sharp black leather jacket and flawless makeup
20:53Her hands are still curled unnaturally
20:55But her eyes are clear again cold and vicious
20:59Sophia!
21:00Her shrill voice instantly silences the entire hall
21:03Ten years
21:03I'm finally back
21:05And I'm here to expose this true face of this poison aid Newman
21:08I want to file a report
21:09Ten years ago
21:10Sophia deliberately injured me and leave my hands permanently disabled
21:14Ten years ago she framed the boss of the Moreci family and sent him to prison
21:18She's nothing but a murderer
21:19The entire hall erupts in shock
21:21All eyes turn to mom
21:23But mom remains perfectly calm
21:25She even lifts a glass of champagne and gently swirls it
21:28Vivienne, watch your mouth
21:30You say I hurt people
21:32Where's your evidence?
21:37You say I hurt people
21:39Where's your evidence?
21:41Evidence
21:43This is the evidence
21:44For ten years
21:46I've spent every single day collecting proof of your crimes
21:49I found the employee who switched the cement for you back then
21:51He's willing to testify
21:52And I traced the source where you bought the neurotoxin
21:55Sophia, today is the day you fall
21:57One of the investigators steps forward
21:59And begins carefully flipping through the documents
22:02For the first time, mom's expression changes
22:04But it isn't panic, it's amusement
22:05She looks at Vivienne like she's watching a clown perform
22:08Vivienne, you know what your biggest weakness is?
22:11You're too stupid
22:14And far too impatient
22:16You think finding my evidence will bring me down?
22:20Did it ever occur to you
22:21Why it was so easy for you to find it?
22:24Vivienne's expression stiffens
22:25What do you mean?
22:27It means I let you find it
22:30Every piece
22:32Including today
22:33When you brought investigators
22:36And walked straight into my territory
22:38She snaps her fingers
22:40The banquet hall doors slam shut
22:42Dozens of men in black suits
22:43Pour in from every direction
22:45Surrounding Vivienne and the investigators
22:46In an instant
22:48The hall becomes a sealed cage
22:49The guests tremble in fear
22:51Even Vivienne begins to panic
22:53Sophia
22:54What are you doing?
22:55Are you challenging the authority of the commission?
22:57No
22:57She walks up to Vivienne and speaks in a voice
23:00Only the two of them can hear
23:01I'm simply finishing what I started ten years ago
23:05Taking out the trash
23:07For good
23:12Vivienne's pupils shrink instantly
23:13She tries to step back
23:15But two bodyguards grab her shoulders
23:16And hold her in place
23:17Sophia!
23:18Have you lost your mind?
23:20There are so many people watching
23:21Mom lets out a soft laugh
23:23Ladies and gentlemen
23:24I apologize for the disturbance
23:25It seems we've had a small accident
23:27But now please enjoy a special program I prepared for you
23:31As soon as she finishes speaking
23:32The giant screen in the center of the hall lights up
23:35Surveillance footage from the medical center appears
23:37On the screen is Vivienne
23:39She sneaks into the records room
23:40Stealing files
23:45Then she meets with several employees
23:46Who were fired from the medical center
23:48Handing them envelopes of cash
23:51Finally the screen freezes on a scene of Vivienne
23:53Embracing a man
23:54I recognize him
23:56He used to be dad's underboss
23:57The same man who betrayed him during that conspiracy years ago
24:00The one who was later shot dead
24:02So Vivienne had been working with him all along
24:04Her so-called admiration back then was never real
24:07It was a calculated approach
24:08What she wanted was revenge
24:10Revenge against Luca and Sophia
24:12The two people she believed destroyed her lover
24:14When the video ends
24:15The entire hall falls into dead silence
24:18No, that's not true
24:25No, that's not true
24:27Vivienne's face turns as white as paper
24:29She framed me
24:30Sophia framed me
24:32Mom walks up to her
24:33Eyes cold
24:34Framed you?
24:36Vivienne
24:36All I did was show everyone exactly what you've done
24:39No!
24:40More than ten years ago
24:41You and your lover conspired against my husband
24:44Trying to steal family secrets and ruin him
24:47I only crippled your hands
24:48That was already mercy
24:50But you never learned your lesson
24:52You really think I didn't know what you've been doing these past ten years?
24:55Every person you contacted
24:56Every meeting you had
24:58Every word you said
24:59All of it
25:01Was under my control
25:02I kept you alive
25:03Simply because I wanted to see how big a wave a stray dog like you could make
25:07Turns out
25:09Not much
25:11Every word mom says cuts into Vivienne like a knife
25:14The investigators understand the situation now
25:17They close the file and look at Vivienne coldly
25:19Vivienne
25:20You will come with us now and assist with the investigation into the old leak of family secrets
25:25Vivienne completely loses control
25:26Like a madwoman, she breaks free from the bodyguards and lunges toward me
25:30She pulls out a gun and points it straight at me
25:32Sophia!
25:33If I can't kill you, I'll kill your daughter
25:36Then you'll know what it feels like to lose the person you love most
25:39Everything happens too fast
25:41No one has time to react
25:42All I see is a bullet flying straight toward me
25:47Mom steps in front of me
25:49The bullet sinks deep into her chest
25:50Blood instantly spreads across her white dress
25:53Like a crimson rose blooming
25:54Suddenly in the snow
25:59The whole world seems to fall silent
26:01I watch mom slowly collapse
26:03My mind going completely blank
26:04Mom!
26:05Warm blood soaks through my dress
26:07Sticky and burning hot
26:08Call an ambulance!
26:09Now!
26:10The banquet hall erupts into chaos
26:12Vivienne is restrained on the spot
26:14Looking at mom lying in a pool of blood
26:16She bursts into hysterical laughter
26:18Sophia!
26:19You lost
26:20In the end you still lost!
26:23I can't hear anything
26:24In my world there is only the sound of mom's breathing growing weaker and weaker
26:27Her hand grips mine tightly
26:29Her lips move like she's trying to say something
26:32I lean closer to hear her
26:33Nina
26:34Don't be afraid
26:37Do you like this gift?
26:40There is even the faintest trace of a smile at the corner of her lips
26:43I suddenly look up at the chaotic scene around me
26:45Was this?
26:46Part of her plan too
26:47Her own life is her final coming of age gift to me
26:50When you cut the weeds you remove the roots
26:52With her death she will make sure Vivienne can never rise again
26:55With her blood she clears the last obstacle from my path
26:58With her blood she clears the last obstacle from my path
27:05The ambulance finally arrives
27:06As they lift mom onto the stretcher
27:08She gathers the last bit of strength
27:10And presses something cold into my palm
27:13It's the silver scalpel she polished countless times
27:16The blade gleams reflecting my tear-streaked face
27:18The hospital hallway is brightly lit
27:21Yet cold as ice
27:22The emergency room light stays on for a long, long time
27:25Then finally it goes out
27:28The doctor walks out, exhausted, and shakes his head
27:31I'm sorry
27:31We did everything we could
27:33I stand there unmoving
27:35I don't cry
27:36I don't scream
27:37I only tighten my grip on the scalpel in my hand
27:39Mom, I received your gift
27:41Don't worry
27:42From today on
27:43I will become you
27:44A better version of you
27:45I will become the rightful leader of the Mariti and Severino families
27:48And Yon who dares lay a hand on them
27:50Will become the next piece of trash beneath my scalpels
27:52I lift my head and look toward the window at the end of the corridor
27:55Outside
27:56The night is deep
27:57And my war has only just begun
