Short filmTranscript
00:00Five years. I worked three jobs to put William through business school.
00:05Today's his birthday, and our fifth wedding anniversary.
00:16What the hell are you doing?
00:18On our anniversary? You're screwing my best friend?
00:23Sorry, Elaine. Thanks for taking care of him all these years. I'll take it from here.
00:29Wow. Cheap. But I guess I should thank you. You delivered Gina right to me.
00:35Now get the hell out of my house!
00:49Five years, and I'm down to 38 bucks.
00:58Help! Help! Help me!
01:01Don't do it, Elaine. You've got nothing. No money. No home.
01:06Help me!
01:07You can't even save yourself.
01:11Come on!
01:16Stop! Enough!
01:25Daddy!
01:42Daddy!
01:43It's okay. Daddy's here.
02:04You saved her.
02:06She... she needed help. I couldn't just walk away.
02:09Daddy, I want her.
02:12Good. You're coming home with us.
02:35Dad, are you done yet?
02:37Almost.
02:38You said that five minutes ago. I think my scalp just filed for divorce.
02:49Wait, is this actually how you dry your daughter's hair?
02:52Why not? Strong airflow, fast results.
02:54Let me do it.
02:57Watch. Use a lower temperature so you don't burn her.
03:15What are you doing?
03:18You still love him?
03:20Of course not.
03:21Then why are you still wearing it? Trash like that doesn't belong on your hand.
03:41You're not afraid of me?
03:46I should be. Everyone says you're a monster.
03:49That you feel nothing.
03:52That killing means nothing to you.
03:54And what do you think?
03:56A real monster wouldn't use a vacuum cleaner to dry his daughter's hair.
04:01I can prove it! Last time he used the leaf blower!
04:06Maya!
04:08Living room. We need to talk.
04:11We need to talk.
04:21You're good with kids. Have any of your own?
04:24No.
04:25I spent a couple years helping raise my ex-husband's niece.
04:29Guess I picked up a few things.
04:33Divorced.
04:34Walked away with nothing.
04:36Why?
04:37He decided my background didn't match his success anymore.
04:41Then he's a complete idiot.
04:44Take a look.
04:47This is...
04:48Courts next month.
04:49My in-laws are suing for custody.
04:51They want to take Maya away.
04:54They think a mob boss shouldn't be raising a child.
05:01So...
05:02You need a wife?
05:03More accurately, Maya needs a mother.
05:09One year.
05:10Marry me for one year.
05:12You'll take care of Maya.
05:14Attend the events that matter.
05:16Help me win custody.
05:19I did my homework.
05:21You're kind, patient, and most importantly...
05:26My daughter likes you.
05:27If I say yes,
05:29what exactly are we?
05:31Business partners.
05:32Nothing more.
05:33You take care of Maya.
05:35I protect you.
05:36That's it.
05:37I won't fall in love with you.
05:39Perfect.
05:40Neither will I.
05:47Pleasure doing business.
05:49Likewise.
05:50In return...
05:52$200,000 a month.
05:54Pick any room in the estate.
05:56After one year we'll divorce.
05:57I'll add another 5 million.
05:58That's way too much.
05:59Take it.
06:01You're marrying the most dangerous man in Chicago.
06:04Consider it hazard pay.
06:05And let's get one thing straight.
06:07The moment you sign that agreement and become my wife,
06:11you're mine.
06:12If anyone lays a hand on what's mine,
06:14I'll teach them exactly what regret feels like.
06:23Daddy, I want her.
06:25Good girl.
06:28Mrs. DeLuca,
06:30this belonged to the Don's mother.
06:31He's never given it to anyone.
06:43Have it resized.
06:44That's really not necessary.
06:45I'll just be careful.
06:47It is necessary.
06:49I'm not that fragile.
06:50Trust me, I've been treated a lot worse than...
06:51You're the second person who's ever argued with me.
06:54The first was Maya.
06:55The first was Maya.
07:06Elaine?
07:08Could you...
07:09read me a bedtime story?
07:11Of course.
07:13Come here.
07:22Once upon a time, deep in the forest, there lived a little fox.
07:28And her eyes were as beautiful as amber stars.
07:34Elaine, do you know why I hated all the other women who came here?
07:39Why?
07:41Because they never played with me.
07:43They only talked to Daddy.
07:46Whenever they looked at me, they were really looking at him.
07:51But you're different.
07:55When you look at me, you actually see me.
08:02If you become my mommy, are you gonna leave too?
08:07No.
08:08I won't leave.
08:10Ever.
08:13Really?
08:15Really.
08:16Pinky promise.

13:56Butter has to be soft.

14:27Mom, our dog Bruno looks like he's sick.
14:31Then I'll eat him.
14:34Oh no!
14:35I think I'm dying too!
14:53Don't move.
15:06Mom.
15:08Hmm?
15:09He just ate a cookie a bit.
15:11He doesn't even eat my leftover fries.
15:14So why does he eat yours?
15:18Because he's hungry.
15:21Really?
15:22Really!
15:23The flour was dry.
15:25The butter too rich.

23:43You were shaken today.
23:44You're vulnerable.
23:45I shouldn't take advantage of that.
23:47Okay.
23:49There's a gala next week.
23:50Come with me.
23:52Me?
23:53I don't belong there.
23:55People like that will know immediately I'm not one of them.
23:59You know what I thought when I first saw you?
24:00You don't belong anywhere.
24:02But wherever you stand, that place becomes yours.
24:09Go buy yourself a dress.
24:12Pins your birthday.
24:21Discount section is left outside.
24:23Custom pieces are usually for established clients.
24:26But if you insist, I can show you the prices just so you're aware.
24:32And no photos inside.
24:33People like the front wall for Inst.
24:35It photographs well.
24:36Why are you so mean?
24:39It's okay, Your Majesty.
24:42You know what I thought when I first saw you?
24:44You don't belong anywhere.
24:45But wherever you stand, that place becomes yours.
24:49Show me the custom pieces.
24:51All of them.
24:57Sweetheart.
24:59You do know these are all over the internet, right?
25:01You can buy a dozen fake ones on Etsy for a dollar.
25:04It's real.
25:05Of course it is.
25:06A very real fake one.
25:08Did you hear that?
25:09She says it's real.
25:10You know how many people in Chicago actually have one of these?
25:14What are the odds this woman in a discount shirt is one of them?
25:22Let me guess.
25:24You brought your kid in here to play rich lady fantasy?
25:27What happens when she grows up and realizes her mom's a fraud?
25:30It's not fake.
25:31Don't talk about my mommy like that.
25:38Fine.
25:39Let me help you snap out of it.
25:43Now can you leave?
25:45Or do you want to keep performing?
25:48Get out.
25:50Don't make me call security to throw you out like garbage.
25:54You'll regret this.
25:55Can't you understand plain language?
25:59Don't touch my mommy!
26:03You were saying...
26:05Who's performing?
26:10Mr. DeLucha.
26:11I-I didn't know.
26:12I swear I didn't know it was you.
26:13Didn't know the card was mine?
26:15Or didn't know she's my wife?
26:23That card you just snapped had 17 million dollars on it.
26:26That was my wife's monthly allowance.
26:30Ross Department Store.
26:32Bridal Salon.
26:33Send someone.
26:34Now.
26:35Don't worry about losing your job.
26:36You'll have plenty of time to rest.
26:38After you leave the hospital.
26:45Let's go.
26:46Custom section.
26:56Mr. DeLucha.
26:57Madam, this way please.
27:02Mommy should wear this.
27:03The queen picked it.
27:24Is it not good?
27:26It's perfect.
27:28I just don't like the idea of every man in the room looking at you.
27:33Daddy's blushing.
27:36Shhh.
27:40Shhh.
27:42Shhh.
27:51Don't be nervous.
27:52I've got you.
27:59Alessandro.
28:04Long time no see.
28:09Victoria.
28:12Aren't you going to introduce her?
28:14Or is she...
28:16your new nanny?
28:20Victoria.
28:22Alexandro's ex.
28:28No jewelry?
28:30Of course.
28:31In your world, it's not that you don't want it.
28:34You just don't have it.
28:35Where did you work before?
28:38McDonald's cashier?
28:39Walmart stalker?
28:42Oh darling, don't misunderstand.
28:44I'm not judging working people.
28:46I'm just curious.
28:47What kind of cleaning product did you use to go from cashier to Mrs. DeLuca?
28:52I'd love to buy a bottle.
28:54Victoria.
28:55What?
28:56I'm just chatting with your wife.
28:58I'm simply reminding her.
29:00This world isn't Lund she came from.
29:03Everyone here has a private pool.
29:05Tell me, what does your family have?
29:09No need to answer.
29:11Your silence already did.
29:14Finished?
29:16My turn.
29:17You want to know what she has?
29:20I'll tell you.
29:21She has my name.
29:23She has my daughter.
29:24She has my unlimited black card.
29:27And this afternoon, a stupid saleswoman broke that card because she thought she wasn't worthy.
29:34That woman is in a hospital now, thinking about it.
29:40Do you want to join her?
29:45Alexandro, I just...
29:47I know exactly what you are.
29:49You're just not used to seeing someone stand beside me.
29:52And know it will never be you.
29:58Ladies and gentlemen, official introduction.
30:02This is my wife, Elaine.
30:05Anyone has a problem, come to me.
30:22No jewelry?
30:24Of course.
30:25In your world, it's not that you don't want it.
30:28You just don't have it.
30:30Where did you work before?
30:32McDonald's cashier?
30:34Walmart stalker?
30:36Oh, darling, don't misunderstand.
30:38I'm not judging working people.
30:40I'm just curious.
30:41What kind of cleaning product did you use to go from cashier to Mrs. DeLuca?
30:46I'd love to buy a bottle.
30:48Victoria.
30:49What?
30:50I'm just chatting with your wife.
30:52I'm simply reminding her.
30:54This world isn't Lund she came from.
30:57Everyone here has a private pool.
30:59Tell me, what does your family have?
31:03No need to answer.
31:05Your silence already did.
31:09Finished?
31:10My turn.
31:11You want to know what she has?
31:14I'll tell you.
31:15She has my name.
31:17She has my daughter.
31:18She has my unlimited black card.
31:22And this afternoon, a stupid saleswoman broke that card because she thought she wasn't worthy.
31:28That woman is in a hospital now.
31:31Thinking about it.
31:34Do you want to join her?
31:39Alexandra, I just...
31:41I know exactly what you are.
31:43You're just not used to seeing someone stand beside me and know it will never be you.
31:52Ladies and gentlemen, official introduction.
31:56This is my wife, Elaine.
31:59Anyone has a problem, come to me.
32:24Don't take what Victoria said tonight to heart.
32:29I didn't.
32:31I didn't.
32:32I didn't.
32:33You did.
32:40Elaine.
32:42Do you know why I married you?
32:46Because Maya needed a mother.
32:49That was our agreement.
32:50That was part of it.
32:52Not all of it.
32:55I've crawled through the worst parts of this world.
32:58I've seen people destroy anything for money, power, desire.
33:03But you, you're different.
33:06You make me believe there's still something good left.
33:11Your third day here.
33:14You and Maya were in the kitchen making cookies, flour all over your face.
33:19Her laughter filled the whole house.
33:23That laugh.
33:24I waited three years for it.
33:27And I thought, who is this woman?
33:30What does she want from me?
33:32I don't want anything.
33:35I know.
33:36You don't want anything.
33:38Not even that 17 million dollar card.
33:42Do you know how much that scares me?
33:44How much it hurts?
33:46I'm afraid I can't hold on to you.
33:54I do want something now.
33:56What?
33:57You.
33:59I want you.
34:08Elaine.
34:09Do you know what you're doing?
34:10Once this starts, I'm not letting you go.
34:12I know.
34:32Wow, red dress.
34:34Mommy, it's so pretty.
34:41Maya, go find Vince.
34:43Eat breakfast with him.
34:50That dress looked tight on you at the gala.
34:52I had this one altered for your size.
34:55V.
34:58How does she even know my size?
35:02Vince, find out who Victoria contacted yesterday.
35:05Every call, every name.
35:12Don't be afraid.
35:13No one touches you.
35:17Got it.
35:22She called someone last night after the gala.
