00:00:00My mom, Lily, is a homewrecker. Everyone knows she breaks families.
00:00:04Every word cuts deep into my heart.
00:00:06The entire ballroom fell dead silent.
00:00:08Seven years ago, Oliver and I fell in love.
00:00:10We planned to run away together.
00:00:12Instead, his family kidnapped me.
00:00:14They sold me to a cartel in Mexico and told Oliver I took a payoff and abandoned him.
00:00:18When Oliver finally tracked me down and saved me, Leo was already five.
00:00:21During my five years of living hell across the border,
00:00:24the only thing keeping me alive was the thought of Oliver and our baby.
00:00:26That night, passing his study, I heard voices through the half-open door.
00:00:30My mom, Lily, is a homewrecker.
00:00:32Everyone knows she breaks families.
00:00:34She told bad lies to steal my dad away from the nice lady he was supposed to marry.
00:00:37She forced him to marry her.
00:00:38She's gross.
00:00:39And every time I look at her, I just want to throw up.
00:00:43Every word cuts deep into my heart.
00:00:46Leo lowered his cue cards.
00:00:47The entire ballroom fell dead silent.
00:00:49The head butler awkwardly ushered him off the stage.
00:00:51The socialites raised their champagne glasses.
00:00:53And the snide remarks came freely.
00:00:56Well, once a woman shoots adult films, no amount of money can wash the dirt off.
00:01:01Even her own son is disgusted by her.
00:01:03Please, Reed worships the ground she walks on.
00:01:05He's the wealthiest man in New York, but he even gave up his inheritance for her.
00:01:08Even after she took a five million dollar buyout and abandoned her newborn baby,
00:01:11he still hunted her down and married her.
00:01:12Hearing those whispers, the agonizing knot in my chest loosened just a fraction.
00:01:16The whole world could despise me.
00:01:19As long as Oliver loved me unconditionally, that was enough.
00:01:23That night, passing his study, I heard voices through the half-open door.
00:01:27It shattered my fantasy into pieces.
00:01:29Mr. Reed, was it really necessary to let your son humiliate your wife like that?
00:01:33Is that healthy for the boy?
00:01:38Did Leo say anything wrong?
00:01:40Besides, he's Tiffany's son.
00:01:42You know that.
00:01:45Tiffany?
00:01:46The woman who married Oliver in an arranged union after I disappeared?
00:01:50The woman Leo had called mom for five years?
00:01:53But Oliver told me he'd only married Tiffany so Leo could have a home.
00:01:56He said he couldn't even stand the sight of her.
00:01:58And Leo?
00:01:59Leo was my son.
00:02:01How could he be Tiffany's?
00:02:02When I finally found Lily, she was a wreck.
00:02:06If I told her our baby had died years ago, it would have broken her completely.
00:02:10So I told her Leo was hers.
00:02:12My head seemed to explode.
00:02:13A deafening ring took over my ears.
00:02:15During my five years of living hell across the border,
00:02:17the only thing keeping me alive was the thought of Oliver and our baby.
00:02:21Turns out my baby was dead.
00:02:23And all this time I had been raising my rival's child.
00:02:28Did you send the video of Leo's speech to Tiffany?
00:02:31Yes, sir.
00:02:31All of it.
00:02:32I made sure to zoom in on Mrs. Reed's face.
00:02:35Miss Vance was absolutely thrilled.
00:02:37Tiffany's so easy to please.
00:02:38Humiliate Lily a little and she does whatever I want in bed.
00:02:41Not like Lily.
00:02:42She's already been passed around and used up,
00:02:43yet she still pulls that traumatized victim act on me.
00:02:46Won't even let me leave the lights on.
00:02:47Totally kills the mood.
00:02:49Then who do you actually love, sir?
00:02:50I love Lily.
00:02:52I know she was forced to leave somehow and she'll always be Mrs. Reed.
00:02:56But she's tainted now.
00:02:57Tiffany loves me.
00:02:58She doesn't ask for a ring and she's a total freak in bed.
00:03:01Leo adores her.
00:03:02Having an extra body to warm the sheets changes absolutely nothing.
00:03:05I don't remember how I made it back to our bedroom.
00:03:08Humiliation and anguish tore at my insides,
00:03:10leaving me cold all over,
00:03:12yet unable to shed a single tear.
00:03:14Oliver's great love was a lie from the very beginning.
00:03:20Lily,
00:03:21Leo is doing perfectly fine at school.
00:03:23There was a little mishap during his speech today,
00:03:25but he's just a child.
00:03:26Don't take it to heart.
00:03:27Clinging to one last hope,
00:03:29I reached back and rested my hand on his chest.
00:03:35I'm exhausted tonight, babe.
00:03:37The sound of running shower water woke me up.
00:03:40The sound came from the bathroom,
00:03:42mixed with his heavy panting.
00:03:43Aren't you afraid your wife will hear us?
00:03:44Let her.
00:03:45She's so damn clueless,
00:03:47she'd probably think I'm jerking off to her.
00:03:52The fake death plan.
00:03:54I'm in.
00:03:59Seven years ago,
00:04:00Oliver and I fell in love,
00:04:01but his family hated me.
00:04:03On the night I gave birth,
00:04:04we planned to run away together.
00:04:05Instead,
00:04:06his family kidnapped me.
00:04:07They sold me to a cartel in Mexico
00:04:09and told Oliver I took a payoff and abandoned him.
00:04:11For years,
00:04:12I lived through hell.
00:04:13When Oliver finally tracked me down and saved me,
00:04:16Leo was already five,
00:04:17but Leo was never my son.
00:04:21What's wrong, Lily?
00:04:22Nightmares again?
00:04:24Shh.
00:04:25It's okay.
00:04:26I'm here.
00:04:32Oliver,
00:04:32I need your signature on something tomorrow.
00:04:34Uh-huh.
00:04:35Sure,
00:04:35bring it to me tomorrow.
00:04:36The next day was my late mother's birthday.
00:04:38He still got up early to make French toast for me.
00:04:41Anyone would think he's a devoted,
00:04:43loving husband.
00:04:44But this time,
00:04:45I noticed he made two portions of breakfast.
00:04:47Dad,
00:04:47Mom hasn't eaten yet.
00:04:49You know her stomach acts up if she doesn't eat.
00:04:52Lily,
00:04:53I'm dropping Leo off at school first.
00:04:54I'll take you to the cemetery to see Mom when I get back.
00:04:56Remember to let the toast cool down before you eat it.
00:04:58Don't burn yourself.
00:05:01Ma'am,
00:05:01why are you eating cold food?
00:05:03Mr. Reid will be heartbroken if he sees this.
00:05:07He won't feel heartache anymore.
00:05:12Maybe Mr. Reid is just too busy.
00:05:14Should I drive you to the office?
00:05:24We're not waiting for Oliver.
00:05:26Take me to see my mom.
00:05:31The attached photo showed Oliver and Tiffany both kissing Leo's cheeks.
00:05:34Only then did I realize Leo had a sports day today.
00:05:37The happy picture of their family of three made me look like a dark, unwanted intruder.
00:05:41I put the signed divorce agreement into my bag.
00:05:44We're not waiting for Oliver.
00:05:46Take me to see my mom.
00:05:47Before Lily arrived, Tiffany had already entered the cemetery with workers.
00:05:53But unexpectedly, right as I entered the private cemetery,
00:05:57my mother's tombstone was smashed, crashing down at my feet.
00:06:00And standing right in front of the grave was Tiffany.
00:06:03My brain froze for a second.
00:06:05I rushed forward.
00:06:06What are you doing?
00:06:09Lily, I'm digging up your mother's grave.
00:06:12This is my mother's resting place.
00:06:14This land belongs to Oliver.
00:06:16How dare you?
00:06:17Still playing Mrs. Reid, huh?
00:06:18Oliver's private property?
00:06:20I do whatever I want.
00:06:21What are you staring at?
00:06:23Dig.
00:06:23At her command, the workers were about to start the bulldozer.
00:06:27Driven by pure desperation, and I scrambled into the cab of the excavator.
00:06:33Grabbed the steering wheel and jerked it hard.
00:06:37The massive metal bucket swung violently, heading straight for her head.
00:06:44Throw her under the bulldozer.
00:06:46Crush her into the dirt.
00:06:48Several bodyguards instantly lunged to drag me away.
00:06:51But just as they reached out, a Maybach drove into the cemetery.
00:06:54Oliver stepped out in a few strides.
00:06:57Took down the guards.
00:07:00And pulled me tightly into his arms.
00:07:02Tiffany, how many times have I warned you?
00:07:05Don't touch Lily.
00:07:07He checked me over frantically.
00:07:09Seeing the bruises on my stomach, pure heartbreak spilled across his face.
00:07:12Lily, I'm sorry.
00:07:15I'm late.
00:07:17I've told you so many times.
00:07:19We're divorced.
00:07:20Stop pestering me.
00:07:21Otherwise, I swear I'll erase the Vance family by morning.
00:07:25Instead of being angry at the threat, Tiffany just raised her eyebrows with a smirk.
00:07:29That's when I saw it.
00:07:30Both she and Oliver were wearing the matching bracelets from Leo's school.
00:07:33What exactly are you trying to do?
00:07:35Lily, I sold this land to the Vance family.
00:07:38They're turning it into an amusement park.
00:07:40All the caskets have been moved.
00:07:42Don't worry.
00:07:43Your mom is fine.
00:07:44I've moved her to a better place and had a new tombstone made.
00:07:47I've just been too busy lately and forgot to tell you.
00:07:51The workers dug open the grave.
00:07:53Sure enough, it was completely empty inside.
00:07:55He was just talking about accompanying me to see my mom this morning.
00:07:58Yet he forgot to tell me that her grave had been moved.
00:08:00Clutching my bruised stomach, I swatted away his outstretched hand.
00:08:04Take me to her.
00:08:05After that, I'll give you the papers we talked about last night.
00:08:09Oliver walked me to the car, but Tiffany got in first.
00:08:12Oliver, we still have some business matters to discuss.
00:08:16Tiffany?
00:08:17The woman who married Oliver in an arranged union after I disappeared?
00:08:21The woman Leo had called mom for five years?
00:08:24But Oliver told me he'd only married Tiffany so Leo could have a home.
00:08:27He said he couldn't even stand the sight of her.
00:08:29And Leo?
00:08:30Leo was my son.
00:08:32How could he be Tiffany's?
00:08:33When I finally found Lily, she was a wreck.
00:08:36If I told her our baby had died years ago, it would have broken her completely.

00:14:39Oliver walked me to the car, but Tiffany got in first.
00:14:43Oliver, we still have some business matters to discuss.
00:14:46The night I signed the divorce paper with a single duffel bag and only $36.
00:14:51That was when I spotted a flyer.
00:14:52Stepmom wanted for child.
00:14:54Room and board.
00:14:55I walked straight into the mansion of Luca Castellano,
00:14:58the Don of New York's oldest mafia family.
00:15:00Don, the applicant is here.
00:15:02I grabbed two figures off the coffee table.
00:15:04Don't worry.
00:15:05I'm not feeding you.
00:15:06I'm feeding Batman.
00:15:07Luca Castellano's mouth curved.
00:15:09A small, real smile.
00:15:10Approving.
00:15:11I got married again.
00:15:12My wife could never be wrong.
00:15:13The night I signed the divorce paper
00:15:15and walked away with nothing.
00:15:16I wandered the rainy streets alone
00:15:18with a single duffel bag and only $36.
00:15:21That was when I spotted a flyer taped to a roadside pole.
00:15:24Stepmom wanted for child.
00:15:26Room and board.
00:15:27That's what got me.
00:15:28That same night, I showed up at the address.
00:15:30I walked straight into the mansion of Luca Castellano,
00:15:33the Don of New York's oldest mafia family.
00:15:35Later, my ex-husband looked down at me with that same arrogance.
00:15:38Nora, do you finally realize you were wrong?
00:15:41Before I could answer,
00:15:42the four-year-old little tyrant exploded.
00:15:44Wrong about what?
00:15:45My mom is the best.
00:15:47The Don slipped an arm around my shoulders,
00:15:49kicking him aside.
00:15:50My wife could never be wrong,
00:15:51and even if she was, she'd still be right.
00:15:53I never expected the people posting flyers on polls
00:15:56to be New York's most powerful mafia family.
00:15:58Now I stood outside their mansion.
00:16:00Beside me, the butler carried himself with quiet arrogance.
00:16:03The Don is looking for a mother for his child,
00:16:05not a wife for himself.
00:16:07I need you to be very clear on that.
00:16:08Don is a very desirable man.
00:16:10Do not get any ideas you shouldn't.
00:16:12I kept my eyes lowered.
00:16:13Honestly, this job was perfect for me.
00:16:15To put it simply, they just needed a high-end nanny.
00:16:18Eight hours ago, I'd signed the divorce papers
00:16:20and been kicked out of my ex's house.
00:16:22The last thing I wanted was another husband.
00:16:24But a roof?
00:16:25Three meals?
00:16:25A place to disappear?
00:16:27That was a miracle.
00:16:28I understand.
00:16:29I won't get any ideas.
00:16:30The butler led me down a dim, vaulted corridor.
00:16:33Then I heard something that sounded like a gunshot.
00:16:35I stumbled, slammed straight into a hot, hard chest.
00:16:38The smell hit me first.
00:16:39Blood.
00:16:40Gunpowder.
00:16:41Then the barrel of a pistol tipped my chin up.
00:16:43A man in a suit with his hair slicked back.
00:16:45Blood streaked across his jaw.
00:16:46A snake tattoo coiling out of his collar onto his throat.
00:16:49My chest rose and fell rapidly with fear.
00:16:52His gun slid down from my chin and stopped between my soaked breasts.
00:16:55He studied me for a long beat.
00:16:57Finally, walked off without a word.
00:16:59I'd seen that face before.
00:17:00Page six.
00:17:01New York Times.
00:17:02The Castellano Don.
00:17:03Sebastian had once spent a month studying his photos,
00:17:06trying to get in with the old mafia family behind him.
00:17:09The butler finally spoke.
00:17:10The Don is handling some business.
00:17:12Please don't mind.
00:17:13I nodded quietly.
00:17:14Then he took me to change into something dry
00:17:16and led me into the dining room.
00:17:18A long wooden table sat beneath a crystal chandelier.
00:17:20And at one end, a father and son were locked in a standoff.
00:17:24The man with murder in his eyes was gone.
00:17:26In his place, at the table,
00:17:27sat a man in a white dress shirt holding a spoon.
00:17:30His face was tired.
00:17:31The boy pressed his lips shut and glared up at his father
00:17:34like a tiny soldier holding the line.
00:17:36Neither moved.
00:17:36Finally, the man exhaled and set the spoon down.
00:17:39Long fingers pinched the bridge of his nose.
00:17:41His voice dropped, low and rough.
00:17:43One bite.
00:17:44One small bite.
00:17:45Is that really too much?
00:17:47The butler stepped forward.
00:17:48Don.
00:17:49The applicant is here.
00:17:50The man turned.
00:17:51His shirt was unbuttoned low.
00:17:52I could see most of the snake tattoo now.
00:17:55The lines of his muscles pressed faintly through the white linen.
00:17:57The most feared man in New York.
00:17:59Inherited the family glory at 16.
00:18:01Built it bigger, darker, quieter than his father had.
00:18:04Money, power, blood on his hands.
00:18:07So this wasn't some dream.
00:18:08Or scam.
00:18:09A man like Luca Castellano had no reason to scam a broke divorcee off the street.
00:18:13His eyes moved over me, distant and tired.
00:18:16Name.
00:18:16I figured he'd come straight from his so-called business.
00:18:19Handling traitors, torturing some enemies.
00:18:21And now got defeated by a toddler.
00:18:23Feeding the kid was probably harder than running his empire.
00:18:26Nora Bennett.
00:18:26I said.
00:18:27A barely there nod.
00:18:28He held out the plate.
00:18:29Try.
00:18:30So, this was my interview.
00:18:31If I didn't pass, I was sleeping on the F train.
00:18:33I smiled my warmest, gentlest smile and walked toward the boy.
00:18:37I didn't make it two steps.
00:18:38Whoosh.
00:18:39He bolted under the table.
00:18:40Only his eyes peeked out.
00:18:41Dark, round, furious.
00:18:43I don't want her.
00:18:44Send her away.
00:18:45She's a bad lady.
00:18:47They're all bad ladies.
00:18:48So before me, this kid had already been through who knows how many stepmoms.
00:18:52Fine.
00:18:52I needed to do my best.
00:18:53I scanned the room and clocked it instantly.
00:18:56Action figures everywhere.
00:18:57Batman, Spider-Man, a whole shelf of Avengers.
00:19:00I grabbed two figures off the coffee table and crouched down by the table leg.
00:19:04I sat Batman and Spider-Man right next to the kid.
00:19:07Then I picked up the spoon.
00:19:08Don't worry.
00:19:08I'm not feeding you.
00:19:10I'm feeding Batman.
00:19:11I mimed a spoonful into Batman's face.
00:19:13Open up, Bats.
00:19:14Heroes who skip dinner?
00:19:15Skinny arms, skinny legs.
00:19:17Can't protect anyone like that.
00:19:18Oh, Batman wants vegetables?
00:19:20Good call.
00:19:21Spinach makes you strong.
00:19:23The boy watched, half-hidden, lips parting, smacking his mouth a little.
00:19:26I pretended not to see.
00:19:28His nose started turning pink, like he was about to cry.
00:19:30Right on cue, I gasped.
00:19:32Wait, is that a baby Batman over there?
00:19:35Bats, can you share with him?
00:19:36He has to eat, too, if he's gonna grow up strong.
00:19:39I tilted Batman.
00:19:40Bats says yes.
00:19:41I turned to the boy.
00:19:42Batman improved, kiddo.
00:19:44You get a little, but just a little.
00:19:46We don't want you outgrowing him.
00:19:47He'd be sad.
00:19:48The boy nodded furiously.
00:19:49I didn't even get the spoon to his mouth before he grabbed it with his lips.
00:19:53A big bite.
00:19:54Why won't you give me vegetables?
00:19:55You scared I'll get stronger than Batman?
00:19:58Bad lady!
00:19:58I glanced at the couch.
00:20:00Luca Castellano's mouth curved.
00:20:01A small, real smile.
00:20:03Approving.
00:20:04I moved into the castle that night.
00:20:05There were three floors.
00:20:06I got the second floor with Leo.
00:20:08Luca had the entire third floor to himself.
00:20:10The butler walked me to my room and gave me one last warning.
00:20:13You do not go up to the third floor.
00:20:15Ever.
00:20:15His voice dropped.
00:20:16The last woman who snuck up there to climb into the Don's bed got thrown out of his window.
00:20:20Two story drive.
00:20:21I thought of the gun from an hour ago.
00:20:23I nodded so hard I almost gave myself whiplash.
00:20:25Won't happen.
00:20:26You have my word.
00:20:27Castellano men breed serious.
00:20:29Leo was only four and slept in his own bed without a fuss.
00:20:32And that made my job easier.
00:20:33I'd just changed into the silk pajamas from the closet.
00:20:36The knock made me jump.
00:20:37Don Luca's voice was low behind the door.
00:20:39Come down.
00:20:40Let's talk.
00:20:41Luca was on the couch in the great room.
00:20:42Long legs crossed.
00:20:43Whiskey in his hand.
00:20:44I sat across from him on the opposite couch.
00:20:47Hands in my lap.
00:20:47Knees together.
00:20:48Like a job interview.
00:20:49You're good with kids.
00:20:50You have one of your own?
00:20:51No.
00:20:52I helped raise my ex's nephew for two years.
00:20:54Back the...
00:20:55The crane said I didn't make enough money and ordered me to quit.
00:20:57Called it generosity.
00:20:58Then, after I did, they claimed I was lazy and had nothing to do.
00:21:02So they fired the nanny and dumped the kid on me.
00:21:04More free maid than wife.
00:21:06File says you're divorced.
00:21:07Yes.
00:21:07Reason?
00:21:08Some small town girl cannot stain a noble family name.
00:21:11I guess.
00:21:12Only a coward would say that.
00:21:13You saw the ad.
00:21:14I'm hiring a mother for Leo.
00:21:15Not a date for me.
00:21:16My rival's family terrified him when he was little.
00:21:18He's always been insecure, hates leaving the house, and has never had a single friend.
00:21:22I work long hours.
00:21:23I need someone with patience.
00:21:25Someone who'll stay.
00:21:26There will be a prenum.
00:21:28Everything stays separate.
00:21:29Especially in bed.
00:21:30My heart shuddered as I looked deep into his eyes.
00:21:32Marriage in rich people's world was a contract before it was anything else.
00:21:36My marriage with Sebastian was for love.
00:21:38But because the gaps between our family, I'd signed one with him too.
00:21:42When the love ran out, I'd walked away with nothing.
00:21:44Not even my wedding ring.
00:21:46Let alone a powerful mafia family like the Castellanos.
00:21:49They would only be more careful.
00:21:51I understand.
00:21:52Honestly, if you just need someone in the house, we don't have to make it legal.
00:21:55I'm fine without the paperwork.
00:21:57Luca shook his head.
00:21:59He leaned forward, tapping his fingers on the table.
00:22:01Marriage is for Leo.
00:22:02He needs the most stable mother I can give him.
00:22:04And marriage is the strongest contract there is.
00:22:07All right.
00:22:08We'll do it your way.
00:22:12Don't worry.
00:22:12You'll get $100,000 a month for expenses.
00:22:14This was the part I cared about.
00:22:16I've been burned before.
00:22:17Mr. Castellano, if we divorce someday, can I keep the money you've given me?
00:22:21Of course.
00:22:21It's yours.
00:22:22All right, then.
00:22:24As for sex, I don't need anything from you in that area.
00:22:29You stay on the second floor.
00:22:30Right.
00:22:31The sex.
00:22:32That's fine.
00:22:33Neither do I.
00:22:34So, three days after I signed divorce papers, I got married again.
00:22:38No ceremony, no guests.
00:22:40Same as my first wedding.
00:22:41The butler added an extra dish to dinner.
00:22:43I thought that was the celebration.
00:22:45But suddenly, Luca slid a signet ring across the table.
00:22:48A Castellano family ring.
00:22:50Okay.
00:22:53That's not necessary.
00:22:55Sebastian never even gave me his family ring.
00:22:58For Leo's sake.
00:22:59Then I got it.
00:23:00The child needed a family illusion.
00:23:02I fell into silence and finally took it.
00:23:04I'll keep it safe.
00:23:05That night, I'd just gotten into bed when the door creaked open.
00:23:08Leo stood in the doorway.
00:23:10Bare feet.
00:23:10Hair sticking up.
00:23:12Fidgeting with his dinosaur pajamas.
00:23:14What's up, kiddo?
00:23:15Nora, can you read me a bedtime story?
00:23:18What?
00:23:19You want me to read you a bedtime story?
00:23:21I'll get my dad to pay you extra.
00:23:23If you don't want to, forget it.
00:23:24Come here.
00:23:25I held the covers open.
00:23:27He scrambled in like he'd been waiting for that all day.
00:23:29Halfway through the story, he was out cold against my shoulder.
00:23:33Next morning at breakfast, Luca's eyes widened when the butler told him Leo had slept in my bed.
00:23:38Nora, that was above and beyond.
00:23:40I'll add another $50,000 a month.
00:23:42Mr. Castellano, that's way too much.
00:23:45It was, by a lot.
00:23:47I'd given far more than this in my last marriage and walked away with literally nothing.
00:23:52During the day, I babysat his nephew.
00:23:54At night, I cooked for my husband.
00:23:56After satisfying his needs in bed, I still had to get up at five to clean the house and make
00:24:01breakfast.
00:24:01His mother judged.
00:24:03We could hire someone, but Nora's just sitting around all day wouldn't be fair.
00:24:07Despite all these, the day of the divorce, his sister told the lawyer I'd been living off them for three
00:24:12years.
00:24:13Mr. Castellano, it's really too much.
00:24:14I like Leo.
00:24:15He's a sweet kid.
00:24:17Reading him a book is nothing.
00:24:18As I said it, Leo came over and grabbed my fingers with his small, warm hand.
00:24:22He was looking up at me with those big, dark grape eyes.
00:24:25He was actually moved.
00:24:26You don't know.
00:24:27The women before you only cared about impressing me.
00:24:31They ignored him.
00:24:3350,000.
00:24:35That's the new number.
00:24:36Not negotiable.
00:24:38I gave up and thanked him.
00:24:39From that day on, Leo was my shadow.
00:24:41Luca was busy with all the transactions, the guns, and the bloods.
00:24:45The huge mansion was usually just the two of us.
00:24:47I tried my best to play with him and made him happy every day.
00:24:50Until the day I had a hospital appointment for a follow-up.
00:24:53The butler had warned me.
00:24:55Leo couldn't leave the house.
00:24:56Outside triggered panic attacks.
00:24:58I crouched down.
00:24:59Hey, babe.
00:25:01Wait for me at home.
00:25:02I'll be back in an hour.
00:25:03He grabbed my hand and wouldn't let go.
00:25:05Leo didn't say anything.
00:25:07Just looked at me with those dark, sad eyes.
00:25:11He's scared you're not coming back.
00:25:13His mother left him exactly like that.
00:25:15I'm coming back.
00:25:16I'll see the doctor and come right home.
00:25:18You play here, okay?
00:25:18I was still mid-sentence when he climbed into the backseat of the car.
00:25:22The butler tried not to hope.
00:25:24Master Leo, you're going to the hospital with Miss Bennett?
00:25:26Leo nodded.
00:25:28Thank God.
00:25:29He's finally willing to leave the house.
00:25:31Your depression's getting better.
00:25:32Just keep it slow.
00:25:33Relax.
00:25:34I took the script and the meds and left.
00:25:36Leo was waiting in the lobby with his small Batman.
00:25:41Nora, are you sick?
00:25:44A little, kiddo.
00:25:45I used to skip meals a lot, so I got sick.
00:25:47Promise me you'll never let yourself get like that.
00:25:50Does it hurt?
00:25:51If it hurts, I can give you candy.
00:25:54Daddy told me candy makes you forget.
00:25:57My tears fell without warning.
00:25:59In the crane house, I'd cry and they'd call it dramatic.
00:26:02Small town girl.
00:26:03Can't handle the lifestyle.
00:26:07I had depression.
00:26:09Stop faking it to get attention!
00:26:11The nephew I'd raised for two years stood next to his mother on divorce day and called me ugly.
00:26:16And here was this four-year-old mafia heir handing me his last piece of candy.
00:26:20Nora, I'm going to eat every meal so I can grow up and protect you.
00:26:30You better grow fast, babe.
00:26:32When we walked out of the hospital, there was a black Maybach idling at the curb.
00:26:36Luca was leaning against it.
00:26:37Mr. Castellano, why are you here?
00:26:41The night I signed the divorce paper was a single duffel bag and only $36.
00:26:46That was when I spotted a flyer.
00:26:48Stepmom wanted for child.
00:26:50Room and board.
00:26:51I walked straight into the mansion of Luca Castellano, the Don of New York's oldest mafia family.
00:26:56Don, the applicant is here.
00:26:58I grabbed two figures off the coffee table.
00:27:00Don't worry.
00:27:01I'm not feeding you.
00:27:02I'm feeding Batman.
00:27:03Luca Castellano's mouth curved.
00:27:04A small, real smile.
00:27:06Approving.
00:27:07I got married again.
00:27:08My wife could never be wrong.
00:27:09The night I signed the divorce paper and walked away with nothing, I wandered the rainy streets alone with a
00:27:14single duffel bag and only $36.
00:27:17That was when I spotted a flyer taped to a roadside pole.
00:27:20Stepmom wanted for child.
00:27:22Room and board.
00:27:23That's what got me.
00:27:23That same night, I showed up at the address.
00:27:25I walked straight into the mansion of Luca Castellano, the Don of New York's oldest mafia family.
00:27:31Later, my ex-husband looked down at me with that same arrogance.
00:27:34Nora, do you finally realize you were wrong?
00:27:37Before I could answer, the four-year-old little tyrant exploded.
00:27:40Wrong about what?
00:27:41My mom is the best.
00:27:42The Don slipped an arm around my shoulders, kicking him aside.
00:27:45My wife could never be wrong.
00:27:47And even if she was, she'd still be right.
00:27:49I never expected the people posting flyers on polls to be New York's most powerful mafia family.
00:27:54Now I stood outside their mansion.
00:27:56Beside me, the butler carried himself with quiet arrogance.
00:27:59The Don is looking for a mother for his child, not a wife for himself.
00:28:02I need you to be very clear on that.
00:28:04Don is a very desirable man.
00:28:06Do not get any ideas you shouldn't.
00:28:08I kept my eyes lowered.
00:28:09Honestly, this job was perfect for me.
00:28:11To put it simply, they just needed a high-end nanny.
00:28:13Eight hours ago, I'd signed the divorce papers and been kicked out of my ex's house.
00:28:17The last thing I wanted was another husband.
00:28:20But a roof?
00:28:20Three meals?
00:28:21A place to disappear?
00:28:22That was a miracle.
00:28:23I understand.
00:28:24I won't get any ideas.
00:28:26The butler led me down a dim, vaulted corridor.
00:28:28Then I heard something that sounded like a gunshot.
00:28:30I stumbled, slammed straight into a hot, hard chest.
00:28:34The smell hit me first.
00:28:35Blood.
00:28:36Gunpowder.
00:28:36Then the barrel of a pistol tipped my chin up.
00:28:38A man in a suit with his hair slicked back.
00:28:40Blood streaked across his jaw.
00:28:42A snake tattoo coiling out of his collar onto his throat.
00:28:45My chest rose and fell rapidly with fear.
00:28:48His gun slid down from my chin and stopped between my soaked breasts.
00:28:51He studied me for a long beat.
00:28:53Finally, walked off without a word.
00:28:55I'd seen that face before.
00:28:56Page six.
00:28:57New York Times.
00:28:58The Castellano Don.
00:28:59Sebastian had once spent a month studying his photos,
00:29:02trying to get in with the old mafia family behind him.
00:29:05The butler finally spoke.
00:29:06The Don is handling some business.
00:29:08Please don't mind.
00:29:09I nodded quietly.
00:29:10Then he took me to change into something dry and led me into the dining room.
00:29:13A long wooden table sat beneath a crystal chandelier.
00:29:16And at one end, a father and son were locked in a standoff.
00:29:19The man with murder in his eyes was gone.
00:29:21In his place, at the table, sat a man in a white dress shirt holding a spoon.
00:29:26His face was tired.
00:29:27The boy pressed his lips shut and glared up at his father like a tiny soldier holding the line.
00:29:31Neither moved.
00:29:32Finally, the man exhaled and set the spoon down.
00:29:35Long fingers pinched the bridge of his nose.
00:29:37His voice dropped, low and rough.
00:29:39One bite.
00:29:40One small bite.
00:29:41Is that really too much?
00:29:42The butler stepped forward.
00:29:44Don, the applicant is here.
00:29:46The man turned.
00:29:47His shirt was unbuttoned low.
00:29:48I could see most of the snake tattoo now.
00:29:50The lines of his muscles pressed faintly through the white linen.
00:29:53The most feared man in New York inherited the family glory at 16,
00:29:57built it bigger, darker, quieter than his father had.
00:30:00Money, power, blood on his hands.
00:30:02So this wasn't some dream or scam.
00:30:04A man like Luca Castellano had no reason to scam a broke divorcee off the street.
00:30:09His eyes moved over me, distant and tired.
00:30:11Name?
00:30:12I figured he'd come straight from his so-called business.
00:30:14Handling traitors, torturing some enemies, and now got defeated by a toddler.
00:30:19Feeding the kid was probably harder than running his empire.
00:30:21Nora Bennett, I said.
00:30:23A barely there nod.
00:30:24He held out the plate.
00:30:25Try.
00:30:25So, this was my interview.
00:30:27If I didn't pass, I was sleeping on the F train.
00:30:29I smiled my warmest, gentlest smile and walked toward the boy.
00:30:33I didn't make it two steps.
00:30:34Whoosh.
00:30:34He bolted under the table.
00:30:36Only his eyes peeked out.
00:30:37Dark, round, furious.
00:30:39I don't want her!
00:30:40Send her away!
00:30:41She's a bad lady!
00:30:42They're all bad ladies!
00:30:44So before me, this kid had already been through who knows how many stepmoms.
00:30:48Fine.
00:30:48I needed to do my best.
00:30:49I scanned the room and clocked it instantly.
00:30:52Action figures everywhere.
00:30:53Batman, Spider-Man, a whole shelf of Avengers.
00:30:56I grabbed two figures off the coffee table and crouched down by the table leg.
00:31:00I sat Batman and Spider-Man right next to the kid.
00:31:02Then I picked up the spoon.
00:31:04Don't worry.
00:31:04I'm not feeding you.
00:31:05I'm feeding Batman.
00:31:06I mimed a spoonful into Batman's face.
00:31:08Open up, Bats.
00:31:09Heroes who skip dinner?
00:31:11Skinny arms, skinny legs.
00:31:12Can't protect anyone like that.
00:31:14Oh, Batman wants vegetables?
00:31:16Good call.
00:31:17Spinach makes you strong.
00:31:18The boy watched, half-hidden, lips parting, smacking his mouth a little.
00:31:22I pretended not to see.
00:31:23His nose started turning pink, like he was about to cry.
00:31:26Right on cue, I gasped.
00:31:28Wait, is that a baby Batman over there?
00:31:30Bats, can you share with him?
00:31:32He has to eat, too, if he's gonna grow up strong.
00:31:34I tilted Batman.
00:31:35Bats says yes.
00:31:37I turned to the boy.
00:31:38Batman improved, kiddo.
00:31:39You get a little, but just a little.
00:31:41We don't want you outgrowing him.
00:31:43He'd be sad.
00:31:44The boy nodded furiously.
00:31:45I didn't even get the spoon to his mouth before he grabbed it with his lips.
00:31:48A big bite.
00:31:49Why won't you give me vegetables?
00:31:51You scared I'll get stronger than Batman?
00:31:53Bad lady!
00:31:54I glanced at the couch.
00:31:55Luca Castellano's mouth curved.
00:31:57A small, real smile.
00:31:59Approving.
00:31:59I moved into the castle that night.
00:32:01There were three floors.
00:32:02I got the second floor with Leo.
00:32:04Luca had the entire third floor to himself.
00:32:06The butler walked me to my room and gave me one last warning.
00:32:09You do not go up to the third floor.
00:32:10Ever.
00:32:11His voice dropped.
00:32:12The last woman who snuck up there to climb into the Don's bed got thrown out of his window.
00:32:16Two story drop.
00:32:17I thought of the gun from an hour ago.
00:32:18I nodded so hard I almost gave myself whiplash.
00:32:21Won't happen.
00:32:22You have my word.
00:32:23Castellano men breed serious.
00:32:25Leo was only four and slept in his own bed without a fuss.
00:32:28And that made my job easier.
00:32:29I'd just changed into the silk pajamas from the closet.
00:32:32The knock made me jump.
00:32:33Don Luca's voice was low behind the door.
00:32:35Come down.
00:32:36Let's talk.
00:32:36Luca was on the couch in the great room.
00:32:38Long legs crossed.
00:32:39Whiskey in his hand.
00:32:40I sat across from him on the opposite couch.
00:32:42Hands in my lap.
00:32:43Knees together.
00:32:44Like a job interview.
00:32:45You're good with kids.
00:32:46You have one of your own?
00:32:47No.
00:32:48I helped raise my ex's nephew for two years.
00:32:50Back the...
00:32:50The crane said I didn't make enough money and ordered me to quit.
00:32:53Called it generosity.
00:32:54Then, after I did, they claimed I was lazy and had nothing to do.
00:32:58So they fired the nanny and dumped the kid on me.
00:33:00More free maid than wife.
00:33:01File says you're divorced.
00:33:02Yes.
00:33:03Reason?
00:33:03Some small town girl cannot stain a noble family name.
00:33:07I guess.
00:33:07Only a coward would say that.
00:33:09You saw the ad.
00:33:10I'm hiring a mother for Leo.
00:33:11Not a date for me.
00:33:12My rival's family terrified him when he was little.
00:33:14He's always been insecure, hates leaving the house,
00:33:16and has never had a single friend.
00:33:18I work long hours.
00:33:19I need someone with patience.
00:33:21Someone who'll stay.
00:33:22There will be a prenum.
00:33:23Everything stays separate.
00:33:25Especially in bed.
00:33:26My heart shuddered as I looked deep into his eyes.
00:33:28Marriage in rich people's world was a contract before it was anything else.
00:33:32My marriage with Sebastian was for love.
00:33:34But because the gaps between our family, I'd find one with him too.
00:33:38When the love ran out, I'd walked away with nothing.
00:33:40Not even my wedding ring.
00:33:42Let alone a powerful mafia family like the Castellanos.
00:33:45They would only be more careful.
00:33:47I understand.
00:33:48Honestly, if you just need someone in the house, we don't have to make it legal.
00:33:51I'm fine without the paperwork.
00:33:53Luca shook his head.
00:33:54He leaned forward, tapping his fingers on the table.
00:33:57Marriage is for Leo.
00:33:58He needs the most stable mother I can give him.
00:34:00And marriage is the strongest contract there is.
00:34:03All right.
00:34:04We'll do it your way.
00:34:07Don't worry.
00:34:08You'll get $100,000 a month for expenses.
00:34:10This was the part I cared about.
00:34:11I've been burned before.
00:34:13Mr. Castellano, if we divorce someday, can I keep the money you've given me?
00:34:16Of course.
00:34:17It's yours.
00:34:18All right, then.
00:34:20As for sex, I don't need anything from you in that area.
00:34:24You stay on the second floor.
00:34:26Right.
00:34:26The sex.
00:34:28That's fine.
00:34:29Neither do I.
00:34:29So, three days after I signed divorce papers, I got married again.
00:34:34No ceremony.
00:34:35No guests.
00:34:36Same as my first wedding.
00:34:37The butler added an extra dish to dinner.
00:34:39I thought that was the celebration.
00:34:41But suddenly, Luca slid a signet ring across the table.
00:34:44A Castellano family ring.
00:34:49That's not necessary.
00:34:51Sebastian never even gave me his family ring.
00:34:54For Leo's sake.
00:34:54Then I got it.
00:34:55The child needed a family illusion.
00:34:58I fell into silence and finally took it.
00:35:00I'll keep it safe.
00:35:01That night, I'd just gotten into bed when the door creaked open.
00:35:04Leo stood in the doorway.
00:35:05Bare feet.
00:35:06Hair sticking up.
00:35:07Fidgeting with his dinosaur pajamas.
00:35:10What's up, kiddo?
00:35:11Nora, can you read me a bedtime story?
00:35:14What?
00:35:15You want me to read you a bedtime story?
00:35:17I'll get my dad to pay you extra.
00:35:19If you don't want to, forget it.
00:35:20Come here.
00:35:21I held the covers open.
00:35:22He scrambled in like he'd been waiting for that all day.
00:35:25Halfway through the story, he was out cold against my shoulder.
00:35:29Next morning at breakfast, Luca's eyes widened when the butler told him Leo had slept in my bed.
00:35:34Nora, that was above and beyond.
00:35:36I'll add another $50,000 a month.
00:35:38Mr. Castellano, that's way too much.
00:35:41It was, by a lot.
00:35:43I'd given far more than this in my last marriage and walked away with literally nothing.
00:35:48During the day, I babysat his nephew.
00:35:50At night, I cooked for my husband.
00:35:52After satisfying his needs in bed, I still had to get up at five to clean the house and make
00:35:56breakfast.
00:35:57His mother judged.
00:35:58We could hire someone, but Nora's just sitting around all day.
00:36:01Wouldn't be fair.
00:36:02Despite all these, the day of the divorce, his sister told the lawyer I'd been living off them for three
00:36:08years.
00:36:08Mr. Castellano, it's really too much.
00:36:10I like Leo.
00:36:11He's a sweet kid.
00:36:12Reading him a book is nothing.
00:36:14As I said it, Leo came over and grabbed my fingers with his small, warm hand.
00:36:18He was looking up at me with those big, dark grape eyes.
00:36:21He was actually moved.
00:36:22You don't know.
00:36:23The women before you only cared about impressing me.
00:36:27They ignored him.
00:36:29Fifty thousand.
00:36:31That's the new number.
00:36:32Not negotiable.
00:36:33I gave up and thanked him.
00:36:35From that day on, Leo was my shadow.
00:36:37Luca was busy with all the transactions, the guns, and the bloods.
00:36:40The huge mansion was usually just the two of us.
00:36:43I tried my best to play with him and made him happy every day.
00:36:46Until the day I had a hospital appointment for a follow-up,
00:36:49the butler had warned me.
00:36:50Leo couldn't leave the house.
00:36:52Outside triggered panic attacks.
00:36:54I crouched down.
00:36:55Hey, babe.
00:36:56Wait for me at home.
00:36:58I'll be back in an hour.
00:36:59He grabbed my hand and wouldn't let go.
00:37:01Didn't say anything.
00:37:03Just looked at me with those dark, sad eyes.
00:37:07He's scared you're not coming back.
00:37:09His mother left him exactly like that.
00:37:11I'm coming back.
00:37:12I'll see the doctor and come right home.
00:37:14You play here, okay?
00:37:14I was still mid-sentence when he climbed into the backseat of the car.
00:37:18The butler tried not to hope.
00:37:19Master Leo, you're going to the hospital with Miss Bennett?
00:37:22Leo nodded.
00:37:24Thank God.
00:37:25He's finally willing to leave the house.
00:37:27Your depression's getting better.
00:37:28Just keep it slow.
00:37:29Relax.
00:37:30I took the script and the meds and left.
00:37:32Leo was waiting in the lobby with his small Batman.
00:37:35Nora.
00:37:37Are you sick?
00:37:39A little, kiddo.
00:37:41I used to skip meals a lot, so I got sick.
00:37:43Promise me you'll never let yourself get like that.
00:37:46Does it hurt?
00:37:47If it hurts, I can give you candy.
00:37:50Daddy told me candy makes you forget.
00:37:52My tears fell without warning.
00:37:54In the crane house, I'd cry and they'd call it dramatic.
00:37:58Small town girl.
00:37:59Can't handle the lifestyle.
00:38:03I had depression.
00:38:05Stop faking it to get attention!
00:38:07The nephew I'd raised for two years stood next to his mother on divorce day and called me ugly.
00:38:12And here was this four-year-old mafia heir handing me his last piece of candy.
00:38:16Nora, I'm going to eat every meal so I can grow up and protect you.
00:38:26You better grow fast, babe.
00:38:28When we walked out of the hospital, there was a black Maybach idling at the curb.
00:38:31Luca was leaning against it.
00:38:33Mr. Castellano, why are you here?
00:38:35Your depression's getting better.
00:38:36Just keep it slow.
00:38:37Relax.
00:38:38I took the script and the meds and left.
00:38:40Leo was waiting in the lobby with his small Batman.
00:38:43Nora!
00:38:46Are you sick?
00:38:48A little, kiddo.
00:38:49I used to skip meals a lot, so I got sick.
00:38:51Promise me you'll never let yourself get like that.
00:38:54Does it hurt?
00:38:55If it hurts, I can give you candy.
00:38:58Daddy told me candy makes you forget.
00:39:01My tears fell without warning.
00:39:03In the crane house, I'd cry and they'd call it dramatic.
00:39:06Small town girl.
00:39:07Can't handle the lifestyle.
00:39:11I had depression.
00:39:13Stop faking it to get attention!
00:39:15The nephew I'd raised for two years stood next to his mother on divorce day and called
00:39:19me ugly.
00:39:20And here was this four-year-old mafia heir handing me his last piece of candy.
00:39:24Nora, I'm going to eat every meal so I can grow up and protect you.
00:39:34You better grow fast, babe.
00:39:36When we walked out of the hospital, there was a black Maybach idling at the curb.
00:39:40Luca was leaning against it.
00:39:41Mr. Castellano, why are you here?
00:39:43Your depression's getting better.
00:39:45Just keep it slow.
00:39:45Relax.
00:39:46I took the script and the meds and left.
00:39:49Leo was waiting in the lobby with his small Batman.
00:39:52Nora!
00:39:54Are you sick?
00:39:56A little, kiddo.
00:39:57I used to skip meals a lot, so I got sick.
00:40:00Promise me you'll never let yourself get like that.
00:40:02Does it hurt?
00:40:04If it hurts, I can give you candy.
00:40:06Daddy told me candy makes you forget.
00:40:09My tears fell without warning.
00:40:11In the crane house, I'd cry and they'd call it dramatic.
00:40:14Small town girl.
00:40:16Can't handle the lifestyle.

00:40:33Nora, I'm going to eat every meal so I can grow up and protect you.
00:40:43You better grow fast, babe.
00:40:44When we walked out of the hospital, there was a black Maybach idling at the curb.
00:40:48Luca was leaning against it.
00:40:49Mr. Castellano, why are you here?
00:40:52I made him the king of Atlantis.
00:40:54But on the day we were bound, he killed me.
00:40:56When I opened my eyes, I was here.
00:40:59The day of the coming of age ceremony.
00:41:01I choose Helena to be my title mate.
00:41:03She alone is worthy of the crown.
00:41:05Don't worry.
00:41:06I don't make the same mistake twice.
00:41:08For three years, I made him the king of Atlantis.
00:41:13But on the day we were bound, he killed me.
00:41:17I've waited long enough, Cora.
00:41:19Now it's your turn to pay.
00:41:37You swore!
00:41:38You swore I was your one and only title mate!
00:41:41You swore before their altar!
00:41:43Before the sea god and goddess!
00:41:45A mate bond is for the strong.
00:41:47And you, Cora?
00:41:48You can't even sing the title aura.
00:41:50You're garbage.
00:41:50Killing you?
00:41:51Just cleaning up.
00:41:52Then my sister?
00:41:53Was it always her?
00:41:54You wanted her, not me?
00:41:56Zeus!
00:41:57Without you in the way, I'd have mated her years ago.
00:42:01You worthless trash.
00:42:03Yeah.
00:42:03I'm a disfigured princess.
00:42:05Deaf to the tides.
00:42:07Can't heal my own kind.
00:42:08I cored my whole soul into you.
00:42:10Like a fool in love.
00:42:11The sea god gave me power to test his bloodline.
00:42:15And I...
00:42:16I chose wrong.
00:42:17The prince I tried to save...
00:42:20He turned on me.
00:42:46I stole the trident for him.
00:42:49I gave him my love.
00:42:50I granted him divine power.
00:42:52I made him king of Atlantis.
00:42:54But he was just using me.
00:42:56He drained me dry.
00:42:58Then plunged the trident straight through my heart.
00:43:00You worthless, scarred waste of a princess.
00:43:03You actually thought you could have me?
00:43:05No.
00:43:06If you hadn't saved me that day,
00:43:07Helena would have been mine from the start.
00:43:09You ruined it!
00:43:10In your dreams.
00:43:11Helena is my sister.
00:43:13She'll never mate with you.
00:43:15Oh, my sweet, foolish sister.
00:43:18Helena, please, help me.
00:43:21Help you?
00:43:21And let you steal the crown from me?
00:43:29Trash, you only fit to feed abyssal worms.
00:43:32Farewell, my dear sister.
00:43:36You died with no body to bury, but my hatred burned so fierce, it dragged me back through the flames.
00:43:42When I opened my eyes, I was here.
00:43:45The day of the coming of age ceremony.
00:43:48Adulthood is blessing and a curse.
00:43:52You must find your mates.
00:43:57You must find your mates.
00:43:57Those who fail shall be cast into the abyssal chasm, transformed into mindless worms of the deep.
00:44:04Enjoy your night.
00:44:05So he went back in time, too.
00:44:07Scared I'll choose him again?
00:44:07Don't worry.
00:44:08I don't make the same mistake twice.
00:44:13A bloodline this pure.
00:44:16He's Sion's scion of the sea god, too?
00:44:21I choose Helena to be my tidal mate.
00:44:25She alone is worthy of the crown.
00:44:27Look at the freak.
00:44:28She actually thought Valric would want her?
00:44:30She cannot even hear the tides.
00:44:32What a pitiful disgrace.
00:44:34Trash belongs in the kitchen, not at the tide binding.
00:44:36I can't hear the tides.
00:44:37In their eyes, I'm abandoned by the sea god.
00:44:39And Helena, with that divine voice, they worship her like a goddess.
00:44:44Take it, Helena.
00:44:46Helena, I will make you the queen of Atlantis.
00:44:50No dead weight this time.
00:44:51Faster.
00:44:52I'll take my throne again.
00:44:54You're a long-forgotten Sion.
00:44:56Without me, you'll never even touch that throne.
00:44:58The tear of the sea goddess!
00:45:00Her very first tear after tide binding!
00:45:02The symbol of eternal love!
00:45:04I just saw Valric had tear of the sea goddess.
00:45:07It brings eternal tidal power.
00:45:09They say a tide binding is coming.
00:45:11Must be for Princess Korra.
00:45:14Helena?
00:45:15You're here?
00:45:17I'm here.
00:45:18With a binding gift.
00:45:20Congratulations, Korra.
00:45:21Is this for me?
00:45:22Put it on me, hurry!
00:45:24What are you staring at?
00:45:26Put it on me already!
00:45:28You witch!
00:45:29Once this binding's over, I'll end you myself.
00:45:33The tear of the sea goddess?
00:45:35You're not worthy to even touch it!
00:45:38See?
00:45:39It was never yours.
00:45:40You'll never take it.
00:45:45Don't be sad, Korra.
00:45:47Before you become a worm in the Abdus, I'll have Valruk assign you to clean its entrance.
00:45:52Just worry about yourself.
00:45:53That wretch barely has any divine power left.
00:45:57Helena, I honestly pity you.
00:45:59What did you just call him?
00:46:02Korra!
00:46:02You forsaken trash!
00:46:04How dare you insult me!
00:46:10Korra, my chosen one.
00:46:12Find the forgotten king.
00:46:15Fulfill your destiny.
00:46:17I was born able to sense Sea God's bloodlines.
00:46:20And with Poseidon's blessing in this life,
00:46:23I can see the purity of souls.
00:46:25But theirs?
00:46:27I've never seen such rot.
00:46:28Am I wrong, Valrik?
00:46:31You are drained.
00:46:32Go ahead.
00:46:33Take her if that's what you want.
00:46:35And when it's too late,
00:46:37you'll see,
00:46:38without me,
00:46:39you're nothing.
00:46:45I carry Poseidon's sacred blood.
00:46:47And you, a filthy outcast,
00:46:49dare speak my name?
00:46:50Sacred blood?
00:46:51The closest you've ever come to Poseidon
00:46:53is stealing his power in your dreams.
00:46:55And you dare speak his name?
00:46:59Gods!
00:47:00Her face!
00:47:01Like a worm chopped it!
00:47:02I'll see that in my nightmares.
00:47:03An ugly princess who can't even heal her own kind?
00:47:06She'll curse all Atlantis!
00:47:09Oops.
00:47:10My dearest sister,
00:47:11my hand slipped.
00:47:12I just thought everyone should see the real you.
00:47:14No one's ever going to choose you.
00:47:15Get on your knees and beg us.
00:47:16Helena needs a latrine maid.
00:47:18Want me to say it?
00:47:18That you and Helena used abyssal worm venom on me?
00:47:21That you stole my voice and ruined my face?
00:47:33Cora, please.
00:47:34You know that's not true.
00:47:36You got careless and now you're blaming us?
00:47:37Enough, you crazy fool!
00:47:39Know your place!
00:47:42Queen Bella's jewels?
00:47:44Robbing the dead now, Cora?
00:47:45Give it back!
00:47:46My mother left that to me!
00:47:48You're a worthless princess.
00:47:49And Bella left you something?
00:47:52Oh, you want it back?
00:47:53Let the abysmal worms tear you apart first.
00:47:56Then you can have it in hell.
00:47:58She's a born liar!
00:47:59No one should mate with her!
00:48:00Cast her to the chasm!
00:48:01Guards!
00:48:02Drag this thing to the abyss!
00:48:04Let go!
00:48:05On what charge?
00:48:06Where's your proof?
00:48:07The charge?
00:48:08Your filth.
00:48:09That's all.
00:48:10Got it?
00:48:12This time,
00:48:13you'll die in the abyss.
00:48:14Again.
00:48:15Enjoy it?
00:48:16Valric!
00:48:22You can't touch her.
00:48:25Poseidon's law doesn't allow this.
00:48:27Poseidon's bloodline?
00:48:28So powerful.
00:48:29Did I got it wrong all along?
00:48:30The true Skion is him?
00:48:35I choose Helena to be my title mate.
00:48:39She alone is worthy of the crown.
00:48:41Look at the freak.
00:48:42She actually thought Valric would want her?
00:48:45She cannot even hear the tides.
00:48:46What a pitiful disgrace.
00:48:48Trash belongs in the kitchen,
00:48:49not at the tide binding.

00:49:04No dead weight this time.
00:49:05Faster.
00:49:06I'll take my throne again.
00:49:08You're a long forgotten Sian.
00:49:10Without me,
00:49:11you'll never even touch that throne.
00:49:12The tear of the sea goddess!
00:49:14Her very first tear after tide binding!
00:49:16The symbol of eternal love!

00:49:34Congratulations, Korra.
00:49:35Is this for me?
00:49:36Put it on me.
00:49:37Hurry!
00:49:38What are you staring at?

00:51:15Like a worm chopped it!
00:51:17I'll see that in my nightmares.

00:52:39Poseidon's law doesn't allow this.
00:52:41Poseidon's bloodline?
00:52:42So powerful!
00:52:43Did I got it wrong all along?
00:52:44The true Skyion?
00:52:46Is him?
00:52:49En una subasta,
00:52:51mi hermana eligió
00:52:51al tritón fuerte y mayor.
00:52:54Yo escogí al tritón herido
00:52:55y más joven.
00:52:56Lo sané con mi propia sangre
00:52:57y lo convertí en el tritón más fuerte.
00:53:00Un día,
00:53:01cuando mi hermana fue herida,
00:53:04él me mató va...
00:53:04Si no fuera por ti,
00:53:05ella me habría llevado con ella.
00:53:07Cuando volví a abrir los ojos,
00:53:08me encontré de vuelta en la subasta.
00:53:10Vi a Cassian de inmediato,
00:53:11todavía escondiéndose en la parte trasera.
00:53:13El orgullo de un tritón está en su cola.
00:53:15Todas las colas brillaban en la celda.
00:53:17La suya era un desastre.
00:53:18Sin escamas.
00:53:18Cola medio arruinada.
00:53:20Justo como la última vez.
00:53:21Rora,
00:53:22vamos por esos dos.
00:53:24Apresúrate,
00:53:24o todos los fuertes se habrán ido.
00:53:26Imaginé que no había forma de que en realidad
00:53:28ella eligiera al más débil.
00:53:30Me equivoqué.
00:53:31Ella realmente compró al moribundo.
00:53:33Padre había estado furioso,
00:53:34pero Morgana solo sonrió y dijo,
00:53:36Padre,
00:53:37ese era el que Aurora quería.
00:53:39Sabes cómo es ella.
00:53:41No tuve otra opción más que pagar por él.
00:53:43De todos modos,
00:53:44yo escogí al fuerte.
00:53:45Me lo llevo a él.
00:53:47Esta vez no.
00:53:47Entonces llévatelo tú.
00:53:49Quiero a ese.
00:53:54Entonces llévatelo tú.
00:53:55Quiero a ese.
00:53:55Señalé a otro tritón.
00:53:57El que estaba parado ahí sin expresión.
00:53:59Y elevé mi oferta sin dudarlo.
00:54:00Esta vez,
00:54:01no me importaba a quien escogiera.
00:54:02Solo quería una cosa.
00:54:03De alta.
00:54:04Rora,
00:54:05tu oferta es muy alta.
00:54:06Padre solo nos dio algo de dinero.
00:54:07Si lo gastas todo.
00:54:08¿Y yo qué uso?
00:54:09Ese tampoco se ve mal.
00:54:11Si te quedas sin dinero,
00:54:13cómpralo a él.
00:54:16¿A él?
00:54:17Ni la usaría para calentar mi cama.
00:54:19Pobre Kassian.
00:54:20Vida pasada.
00:54:21Él realmente pensó que yo lo había alejado de Morgana.
00:54:23Lo que él nunca supo era simple.
00:54:25Morgana nunca lo había querido.
00:54:27Justo como antes.
00:54:27Ella tomó a Gedeon.
00:54:29Pero mientras me iba con mi tritón,
00:54:31Kassian de repente empezó a golpearse a sí mismo
00:54:33contra la pared de su celda de agua.
00:54:36La multitud se rió.
00:54:37¿Qué es eso?
00:54:38Con una cola como esa.
00:54:40Solo un idiota lo compraría.
00:54:41Kassian había regresado también.
00:54:42Por eso estaba entrando en pánico.
00:54:44Porque la que había querido en ambas vidas
00:54:46aún no lo había elegido.
00:54:47Toda una vida de fantasía
00:54:48se fue en un segundo.
00:54:49Eso debió doler.
00:54:53Lo que me sorprendió fue su cara.
00:54:55Él no parecía aliviado de ser comprado.
00:54:57¿No quieres venir a casa conmigo?
00:54:59Él lucía frío.
00:55:00Así que le pregunté directamente.
00:55:01Me dirigió una mirada plana
00:55:02y no dijo nada.
00:55:04Por lo que yo sé,
00:55:05esos tritones también se clasifican.
00:55:09Si no te sacara,
00:55:11seguirías peleando diario.
00:55:14Aquí puedo protegerte.
00:55:16No soy la basura inútil
00:55:17que dejó romper su cola.
00:55:19Él no estaba equivocado.
00:55:20Si no quieres quedarte aquí,
00:55:22entonces vete.
00:55:22Una chispa brilló en sus ojos.
00:55:25Estaba tentado.
00:55:26Pero antes de que pudiera moverse,
00:55:27me voy yo primero.
00:55:29¿A dónde vas?
00:55:29Si no quieres quedarte,
00:55:31entonces iré a comprar a otro.
00:55:33Si voy a crear a un Ray Triton,
00:55:35no estaré con alguien que duda de mí.
00:55:39Me miró,
00:55:40claramente tomado por sorpresa.
00:55:42Cada tritón quiere el trono.
00:55:44El talento importa,
00:55:45pero el talento puede pulirse.
00:55:47Un traidor como Cassian,
00:55:48sin valor.
00:55:50La subasta ha terminado.
00:55:52¿Crees que una familia
00:55:54que compra tritones
00:55:55solo tiene una fuente?
00:56:03En una subasta,
00:56:05mi hermana eligió
00:56:06al tritón fuerte y mayor.
00:56:08Yo escogí al tritón herido

00:57:46Kassian de repente
00:57:46empezó a golpearse
00:57:47a sí mismo
00:57:48contra la pared
00:57:48de su celda de agua.
00:57:50La multitud se rió.
00:57:51¿Qué es eso?
00:57:52Con una cora como esa,
00:57:54solo un idiota lo compraría.
00:57:55Kassian había regresado también,
00:57:57por eso estaba entrando en pánico,
00:57:58porque la que había querido
00:57:59en ambas vidas
00:58:00aún no lo había elegido.
00:58:01Toda una vida de fantasía
00:58:03se fue en un segundo.
00:58:04Eso debió doler.
00:58:07Lo que me sorprendió
00:58:08fue su cara.
00:58:09Él no parecía aliviado
00:58:10de ser comprado.
00:58:12¿No quieres venir
00:58:13a casa conmigo?
00:58:13Él lucía frío,
00:58:14así que le pregunté directamente.
00:58:16Me dirigió una mirada plana
00:58:17y no dijo nada.
00:58:19Por lo que yo sé,
00:58:20esos tritones
00:58:20también se clasifican.
00:58:23Si no te sacara,
00:58:25seguirías peleando diario.
00:58:28Aquí puedo protegerte.
00:58:30No soy la basura inútil
00:58:32que dejó romper su cola.
00:58:33Él no estaba equivocado.
00:58:35Si no quieres quedarte aquí,
00:58:36entonces vete.
00:58:37Una chispa brilló en sus ojos.
00:58:39Estaba tentado,
00:58:40pero antes de que pudiera moverse,
00:58:42me voy yo primero.
00:58:43¿A dónde vas?
00:58:44Si no quieres quedarte,
00:58:46entonces iré a comprar a otro.
00:58:47Si voy a crear
00:58:48a un Ray Triton,
00:58:49no estaré con alguien
00:58:51que duda de mí.
00:58:53Me miró,
00:58:55claramente tomado por sorpresa.
00:58:56Cada Tritón quiere el trono.
00:58:58El talento importa,
00:58:59pero el talento puede pulirse.
00:59:01Un traidor como Kassian,
00:59:03sin valor.
00:59:04La subasta ha terminado.
00:59:07¿Crees que una familia
00:59:08que compra tritones
00:59:09solo tiene una fuente?
00:59:18En una subasta,
00:59:19mi hermana eligió
00:59:20al Tritón fuerte y mayor.
00:59:22Yo escogí al Tritón herido
00:59:24y más joven.
00:59:25Lo sané con mi propia sangre
00:59:26y lo convertí
00:59:26en el Tritón más fuerte.
00:59:29Un día,
00:59:30cuando mi hermana fue herida,
00:59:32él me mató a...
00:59:33Si no fuera por ti,
00:59:34ella me habría llevado con ella.
00:59:35Cuando volví a abrir los ojos,
00:59:37me encontré de vuelta
00:59:38en la subasta.
00:59:39Vi a Kassian de inmediato.
00:59:40Todavía escondiéndose
00:59:41en la parte trasera.
00:59:42El orgullo de un Tritón
00:59:43está en su cola.
00:59:43Todas las colas
00:59:44brillaban en la celda.
00:59:46La suya era un desastre.
00:59:46Sin escamas.
00:59:47Cola medio arruinada.
00:59:48Justo como la última vez.
00:59:50Rora,
00:59:51vamos por esos dos.
00:59:52Apresúrate
00:59:53o todos los fuertes
00:59:54se habrán ido.
00:59:55Imaginé que no había forma
00:59:56de que en realidad
00:59:57ella eligiera al más débil.
00:59:59Me equivoqué.
01:00:00Ella realmente compró
01:00:01al moribundo.
01:00:02Padre había estado furioso,
01:00:03pero Morgana solo sonrió
01:00:04y dijo.
01:00:05Padre,
01:00:06ese era el que Aurora quería.
01:00:08¿Sabes cómo es ella?
01:00:09No tuve otra opción
01:00:11más que pagar por él.
01:00:12De todos modos,
01:00:13yo escogí al fuerte.
01:00:14Me lo llevo a él.
01:00:15Esta vez no.
01:00:16Entonces llévatelo tú.
01:00:18Quiero a ese.
01:00:22Entonces llévatelo tú.
01:00:24Quiero a ese.
01:00:24Señalé a otro Tritón,
01:00:25el que estaba parado
01:00:26ahí sin expresión.
01:00:27Y elevé mi oferta
01:00:28sin dudarlo.
01:00:29Esta vez,
01:00:30no me importaba
01:00:30a quién escogiera.
01:00:31Solo quería una cosa.
01:00:32Lealtad.
01:00:33Rora,
01:00:33tu oferta es muy alta.
01:00:34Padre solo nos dio
01:00:35algo de dinero.
01:00:36Si lo gastas todo,
01:00:37¿y yo qué uso?
01:00:38Ese tampoco se ve mal.
01:00:40Si te quedas sin dinero,
01:00:41cómpralo a él.
01:00:45¿A él?
01:00:46Ni lo usaría
01:00:47para calentar mi cama.
01:00:48Pobre Cassian.
01:00:49Vida pasada.
01:00:50Él realmente pensó
01:00:51que yo lo había alejado
01:00:52de Morgana.
01:00:52Lo que él nunca supo
01:00:53era simple.
01:00:54Morgana nunca lo había querido.
01:00:55Justo como antes,
01:00:56ella tomó a Gedeon.
01:00:58Pero mientras me iba
01:00:59con mi Tritón,
01:01:00Cassian de repente
01:01:01empezó a golpearse
01:01:02a sí mismo
