05:33Je vais vous donner 10 fois l'amount.
05:36Prends le argent.
05:37Et disparaît.
05:41Mr. Moretti est certaine generous.
05:43En ce casse.
05:46Je vais bien accepte.
05:50Stop !
05:52Quoi ?
05:53Did Ms. Russo change her mind ?
05:59Victoria, tu as-tu as-tu à ma advisor ?
07:02Victoria
07:03You dare lay hands
07:05On a member of my organization
07:08You will apologize
07:09To Vanessa
07:11You will pay her one million dollars
07:13And then you'll leave this ceremony
07:17Apologize
07:18If you don't
07:20We'll make sure
07:21You're blacklisted
07:24From every family event
07:26In the territories
07:30She's finished
07:31The Moratti family has spoken
07:34Once Vincenna blacklists you
07:36You're done in this world
07:37A million dollars?
07:39She'll never be able to pay that
07:41Just apologize
07:43Girl
07:45You can't win
07:46Against the Morattis
07:48I slowly scanned the entire hall
07:50Then looked straight at Vincent
07:51Everyone here seems so sure
07:53The Moratti family
07:55Controls this ceremony tonight
07:57Maybe you can start it
08:00But I decide
08:01Who actually becomes Godfather
08:04You?
08:05Stop the succession ceremony?
08:07Who the hell do you think you are?
08:08The head of the commission?
08:10Go ahead
08:11Show us
08:12What you've got
08:14Fine
08:15I pulled out my encrypted phone
08:17And dialed a number
08:18That very few people in North America
08:20Even knew existed
08:23Commissioner Sinclair
08:24Have you arrived at the succession?
08:27The commission is waiting
08:28To confirm your presence
08:29For the legitimization ritual
08:32I've run into a problem
08:35Someone tried to remove me
08:38From my commission assigned seat
08:41And threatened to blacklist me
08:44From every mafia family
08:45In the country
08:48I'd like to know
08:50How the commission
08:51Would like me to proceed
08:58What did you just say?
08:59The voice on the other end
09:01Instantly sharpened
09:02Even through the speaker
09:03The shock was unmistakable
09:05That seat was assigned
09:08Directly by the commission
09:09Are you telling me
09:10Someone tried to remove you from it?
09:12Not only that
09:15They accused me
09:16Of assault
09:18And demanded
09:20A one million dollars
09:21In compensation
09:22Briefly explained
09:23What had happened
09:23A loud crash
09:24Suddenly came through the phone
09:26It sounded like
09:27Someone had smashed
09:28A glass against the wall
09:29Then a cold voice asked
09:30I was about to answer
09:32But Vanessa suddenly
09:33Snatched the phone
09:34From my hand
09:35So you're the backup
09:37This bitch called?
09:38Listen carefully
09:41You've got one hour
09:42To deliver the money
09:45Otherwise
09:47Start planning her funeral
09:49The entire hall went silent
09:51The person on the other end
09:52Seemed stunned for a moment
09:54You're the one
09:55Who stole her seat
09:57And you're demanding
09:58Compensation from her?
10:01What's a crash?
10:04Either you pay
10:05Or she pays
10:07What's so hard to understand?
10:12One million?
10:14I think that's far too little
10:15What?
10:16How about one hundred million?
10:18I'll have it delivered immediately
10:21For the first time
10:23Vanessa looked caught off guard
10:25Then she sneered
10:25Old man
10:26Who are you trying to scare?
10:28One hundred million
10:29If you've got the guts
10:32Bring cash
10:33She hung up immediately
10:34Then she turned toward Vincent
10:36With a smug smile
10:37Looking almost proud of herself
10:39Seeing her expression
10:41I couldn't help laughing
10:42Mr. Moretti
10:44You really found yourself
10:46An extraordinary advisor
10:48What do you mean?
10:50I smiled
10:51She just threatened
10:53A commissioner
10:55And insulted
10:57A senior member of the commissioner
11:01That's not something
11:02You see every day
11:04I don't care who he is
11:06The succession ceremony
11:07Is about to begin
11:10So get out
11:11I laughed instead
11:13The ceremony
11:15Without my approval
11:16The ceremony
11:18Isn't starting tonight
11:22Still pretending?
11:24Do you really think
11:25You're that important?
11:26Just then
11:26A shout suddenly came
11:27From the entrance
11:28Outside
11:29A convoy of black armored SUVs
11:32Was racing toward the estate
11:33One after another
11:34At least twenty vehicles
11:36The lead car
11:37Bore a silver crest
11:38That several older mafia bosses
11:40Recognized instantly
11:41Their faces turned pale
11:42One of the Capos
11:44Nearly dropped the cigar
11:45From his mouth
11:48Before Vanessa could recover
11:50From her shock
11:51The voice over the speaker system
11:52Echoed throughout the estate
11:54Attention
11:56This is an official commission directive
11:58The succession ceremony
12:00Is suspended
12:01Until further notice
12:03All succession proceedings
12:05Are hereby paused
12:10What?
12:11Did they just suspend the ceremony?
12:13That's impossible
12:15Several Capos immediately stood up
12:18Even Vincent's expression changed
12:19The ceremony had been scheduled for months
12:22Yet a single phone call
12:23Had stopped everything
12:24Within minutes
12:25The massive doors of the hall
12:26Swung open
12:27More than a dozen men
12:28In black suits entered
12:29Commission badges gleamed
12:31On their lapels
12:32Their footsteps were perfectly synchronized
12:34The moment they entered
12:35Every mafia boss
12:37Instinctively made way
12:38All eyes turned toward me
12:40I simply smiled
12:41And walked forward
12:41The leader of the group
12:42Stopped in front of me
12:45Commissioner Sinclair
12:47That's me
12:48The next second
12:49Every commission officer bowed
12:56Commissioner
12:57The presiding commissioner
12:59Sends his regards
13:00The commission thanks you
13:02For attending tonight's
13:03Authorization ceremony
13:05Oh my god
13:07Did they just bow to her?
13:09That's commissioner Sinclair?
13:13No wonder the ceremony
13:14Was suspended
13:16The people who had mocked me
13:18Moments ago
13:19Now stared with pale faces
13:20You came at the right time
13:23That woman threatened my safety
13:24Please handle it
13:26The atmosphere around Vanessa
13:28Instantly changed
13:29Wait
13:30Do you know who I am?
13:32I'm Vincent Morelli's advisor
13:33But he moved
13:34Nobody cared
13:35The chief enforcer
13:36Calmly spoke into his radio
13:38Two commission enforcers
13:40Immediately stepped forward
13:42Vanessa
13:42Vincent help me
13:45Vanessa
13:46I warned you
13:48Threatening a commissioner
13:51Rarely ends well
13:53Seeing his advisor being dragged away
13:56Vincent finally stepped forward
13:58Commissioner Sinclair
13:59I believe there's been a misunderstanding
14:01It was the first time he had addressed me properly
14:03A misunderstanding?
14:07Your advisor stole my seat
14:09Demanded one million dollars
14:13Threatened to blacklist me
14:16From every mafia family event
14:21And you supported her
14:22Vincent's jaw tightened
14:24The chief enforcer suddenly stepped forward
14:30Commissioner
14:31The presiding commissioner has instructed us
14:34To deliver the compensation
14:37At those words
14:38The crowd turned toward the entrance
14:40A convoy of armored black SUVs
14:43Slowly rolled into the estate
14:44One after another
14:46At least 20 vehicles
14:47Several copos immediately recognized the insignia
14:51Commission Security Division
14:52Their faces instantly turned pale
14:55The chief enforcer handed me a document
14:57The presiding commissioner
14:59Felt one million dollars
15:00It was too early
15:02He authorized
15:03A one hundred million
15:07The hall erupted
15:09Even Vincent's pupils contracted
15:11Meanwhile
15:12Vanessa looked like she was about to collapse
15:20Mrs. Russo
15:23The hundred million you asked for has arrived
15:26Now
15:28We should probably discuss
15:29The compensation you owe me
15:33You little bitch
15:35I'm warning you
15:36You're standing in more ready, Tarik
15:38Don't push your luck
15:42Was that a threat?
15:45Seeing the situation spiraling out of control
15:47Vincent finally stepped forward
15:49Victoria
15:50Is this really necessary?
15:54Vanellera may have acted impulsively
15:56But she's still one of my people
15:59Give me some respect
16:05Respect?
16:07Respect?
16:07Mr. Moratti
16:09You really think your respect is worth that much?
16:14Vincent's face immediately darkened
16:18Victoria
16:19I suggest you remember where you are
16:22This is Moratti territory
16:25Interesting
16:26You two really do sound alike
16:29No wonder
16:31She acts as if she owns the world
16:33I slowly pulled out my phone
16:39Let's be honest
16:40The only reason she dares to act this way
16:42Is because she believes
16:44The Moratti family can protect her
16:47Several mafia bosses exchanged nervous glances
16:50Something told them this conversation was heading somewhere dangerous
16:55Since we're already making a scene tonight
16:58I might as well make it memorable
17:00Then in front of everyone
17:01I dialed another number
17:03The call connected after a single ring
17:05A deep authoritative voice answered immediately
17:08Commissioner Sin Laird
17:10I thought you were attending Vanessa's succession ceremony
17:13What can I do for you?
17:16Don Moratti
17:18I have a question for you
17:23Vincent's pupils contracted
17:25That voice
17:25He knew that voice
17:27Every mafia boss in New York knew that voice
17:29It belonged to Antonio Moretti
17:31The current godfather of the Moretti family
17:34Vincent's father
17:35Before anyone could react
17:36I continued calmly
17:39Have the Morettis become too comfortable lately?
17:43Silence
17:43Dead silence
17:45Even Vincent's face changed
17:47Then I continued
17:48Using Vanessa's exact tone from earlier
17:51You have ten minutes
17:52Get to the estate
17:54Otherwise
17:56I don't mind helping
17:58The commission reconsider
18:00Who should become
18:03The next godfather
18:05Of the Moretti family
18:06The line went completely silent
18:08A second later
18:09A loud crash echoed through the speaker
18:11It sounded like a glass had shattered on the floor
18:15Commissioner Sinclair
18:17Please calm down
18:20I'll be there immediately
18:21Hall ended
18:22The entire hall fell into stunned silence
18:24What the hell?
18:25Who exactly is she?
18:27Did the current godfather
18:29Just agree to come here personally?
18:32That's Antonio Morelli
18:34One of the most powerful men in New York
18:42Several guests looked at me
18:44As if they were seeing a ghost
18:46Others still couldn't believe it
18:48This is still Moretti territory
18:49The Moretti family has ruled here for decades
18:52Nobody can challenge them
18:56Vincent's expression darkened
18:59Victoria
19:00I don't care who you're connected to
19:02But the Moretti family
19:04Won't be threatened
19:09Mr. Moretti
19:10I think you've misunderstood something
19:14You stopped being about what the Moretti family wants
19:17A long time ago
19:19I looked directly into his eyes
19:21The only question now
19:23Is whether I want
19:25To let the Moretti family off the hook
19:27The hall instantly exploded
19:30Several mafia bosses nearly dropped their drinks
19:33You crazy bitch
19:35You assaulted me
19:37Disrupted the ceremony
19:38And now you're threatening Vincent
19:43Fine
19:45Let's see who comes through that door
19:48I'd love to meet
19:49This mysterious protector of yours
19:51Minutes passed
19:52More and more luxury cars
19:54Began arriving outside the estate
19:56One after another
19:57Rolls Royces
19:58Bentleys
19:59Armored SUVs
20:01Bearing family crests
20:05Guests rushed toward the windows
20:07My god
20:08That's the Romano family
20:09And that's the DeLocco
20:10Why are so many family bosses showing up?
20:13Then suddenly
20:14The massive doors of the hall burst open
20:16A middle-aged man in a tailored black suit
20:18Hurried inside
20:19Despite his age
20:20Nobody dared ignore him
20:22The moment he appeared
20:23Dozens of people instinctively lowered their heads
20:27Vincent froze
20:28Don Moretti
20:29You're finally here
20:31Antonio Moretti didn't even look at them
20:33Instead he pushed through the crowd
20:35His forehead glistened with sweat
20:37His breathing was uneven
20:38Then, to everyone's disbelief
20:40The current godfather of the Moretti family stopped in front of me
20:45Commissioner Sinclair
20:47My deepest apologies
20:48It was my family's failure
20:51That allowed you to be insulted tonight
20:58Seeing the scene before him
21:00Antonio Moretti's face instantly turned to me
21:02Commissioner Sinclair
21:03I wasn't too late, was I?
21:05I glanced at my watch and smiled
21:07Another minute
21:08Don Moretti
21:11And your son wouldn't be inheriting anything
21:13Antonio immediately broke out in a cold sweat
21:16A loud smack echoed through the hall
21:18Five red fingerprints instantly appeared on Vincent's face
21:21You idiot! Do you have any idea what you've done?
21:25Get over here and apologize to Commissioner Sinclair
21:28Vincent was completely stunned
21:30Dad? What are you doing?
21:34She's the one disrespecting the Moretti family
21:36She's the one causing trouble at our ceremony
21:39Tony, why are you taking her side?
21:47You still have the nerve to ask why?
21:50Who gave you the right to question Commissioner Sinclair?
21:55I watched quietly
21:55The anger in my chest eased slightly
21:58But it wasn't enough
21:59The Moretti family still owed me an explanation
22:01To his credit, Antonio handled the situation far better than his son
22:05His words were forceful, but Vincent looked even more confused
22:08He simply couldn't understand why his father was so furious over an outsider
22:13Unfortunately for him, only a handful of people knew the truth
22:16And Antonio happened to be one of them
22:18At that moment, Vanessa suddenly stepped forward
22:20Don Moretti
22:22This woman obviously has no respect for the Moretti family
22:25Vanessa was only trying to protect the family's reputation
22:33Even if she has connections, this is still Moretti territory
22:37No matter who she is
22:39We can't lose face in front of the five families, can we?
22:48The guests around us nodded in agreement after hearing Vanessa's words
22:52But Antonio Moretti made a decision no one expected
22:55You're Vanessa Russo, Vanessa's advisor, correct?
22:57Yes, Don Moretti
22:59You're fired
23:00The entire hall fell silent
23:02To everyone else, it looked as though Antonio had completely lost track of the situation
23:06But I knew better
23:07He was making one last desperate attempt to save the Moretti family
23:11I found a comfortable seat and watched quietly, leaving the stage to him
23:15To his credit, he didn't disappoint
23:16In front of the assembled bosses, capos, and family representatives
23:20Antonio pointed at Vincent and erupted
23:22Vanessa Moretti
23:24As the godfather of the Moretti family
23:26I am ordering you
23:28To apologize
23:31To Commissioner Sinclair
23:33Immediately
23:35If you continue this stupidity
23:38Then you can forget about becoming
23:40The next godfather
23:43The hall exploded into shocked whispers
23:45Vincent froze
23:46On one side was the pride of the Moretti family
23:49On the other was his own father
23:56An apology won't be necessary
23:58The room immediately fell silent again
24:01Every eye turned toward me
24:06I think whatever nextion existed
24:09Between me and the Moretti family
24:12Has come to an end
24:14A sense of unease spread through the room
24:17Everyone present understood what those words meant
24:19If Victoria Sinclair walked away tonight
24:21The Moretti family wouldn't just lose a marriage alliance
24:24They might lose their next godfather as well
24:29At my words, Antonio visibly stiffened
24:32He carefully glanced at me
24:34Commissioner Sinclair
24:34Let's not do anything rash
24:36If there's anything you want
24:39Name it
24:42We'll make it right
24:43I curled my lips into a faint smile
24:45Don Marotti
24:47What exactly are you suggesting?
24:53Are you trying to buy your way out of this?
24:56To be honest
24:58I've dealt with plenty of hard cases over the years
25:04But I've never met
25:05A future godfather
25:07Quite as arrogant
25:08As your son
25:12If this had been anyone else tonight
25:14Would you have come here in person, Don Moretti?
25:17Or would one phone call have been enough
25:20To make the problem disappear?
25:23Antonio's face turned pale
25:25He couldn't even meet my eyes
25:27Commissioner Sinclair
25:28Today's incident was entirely our fault
25:31We're willing to make amends
25:34Whatever compensation you ask for
25:36I won't negotiate
25:38Vincent had never seen his father act this humbly before
25:40Unable to accept it
25:42He stepped forward again
25:43The Moretti family is one of the most powerful families in New York
25:49Why are you lowering yourself for her?
25:55So
25:57You still believe
25:59The Moretti family can do whatever it wants
26:02In the city
26:10Although I rarely interacted with the outside world these past few years
26:14I had met more than my share of powerful people
26:17And whether it was wealth, influence, or authority
26:19The Moretti family didn't even rank near the top
26:26Victoria, I'm not as easy to fool as my father
26:28If you've got something up your sleeve, then do it
26:34Confidence is a good thing
26:37Mr. Moretti
26:48The Moretti family may be the center of your world
26:53But to me
26:55It isn't worth mentioning
26:57Antonio's face instantly changed
26:59He was about to speak when I raised a hand and stopped him
27:01Don Moratti
27:04You heard what your son said?
27:06If I don't respond to this
27:07People might start thinking
27:10Commissioner Singlaire is easy to bully
27:12The moment I finished speaking, Vincent's phone rang
27:15What?
27:17What did you just say?
27:20The commission opened an investigation?
27:22And a commission oversight team?
27:24Is already reviewing family records?
27:29After confirming it twice
27:30Vincent stood frozen in place
27:33Slowly, he lifted his head and stared at me
27:36Victoria
27:36Even now, he still couldn't believe it
27:39Don't tell me
27:40This was you
27:41This time, however, I didn't need to answer
27:44Vincent Morarotti!
27:46How could I have raised someone this stupid?
27:50Have you still not realized what you've done?
27:54Do you intend to drag the entire Morarotti family down with you?
27:59My God
28:02Do you still not understand why I arranged this marriage?
28:06I've overlooked your mistakes your entire life
28:09But tonight, of all people
28:11You chose to offend Commissioner Singlaire
28:14The more Antonio spoke
28:15The more agitated he became
28:17By the end, he was practically shaking with rage
28:20To be fair
28:21There wasn't a single exaggeration in anything he said
28:24And that wasn't even counting the fact that Vanessa had stolen my seat
28:27Under Antonio's relentless scolding
28:30Vincent finally began to understand
28:32His voice became uncertain
28:35Dad
28:36What are you saying?
28:38Her background is powerful enough
28:40That even the Morarotti family can't afford to offend her?
28:43At that moment
28:44The atmosphere in the hall completely changed
28:46Every person present looked at me differently
28:48The disbelief was gone
28:50Only fear remained
28:51Especially Vanessa
28:52She had retreated deep into the crowd
28:54Her body trembled visibly
28:55She couldn't even bring herself to look me in the eye
28:58Mr. Morarotti
28:59You should be grateful
29:01Your advisor didn't go any further
29:07Otherwise
29:08This wouldn't have ended with a simple investigation
29:14Vincent's face was pale
29:15And his voice trembled
29:16Commissioner Sinclair
29:19I know I was wrong
29:20I was blind
29:24I underestimated you
29:26What if we go through with the marriage?
29:28We can announce the engagement immediately
29:30We can even hold the wedding as soon as you want
29:32I curled my lips into a faint smile
29:34And looked at him meaningfully
29:35Mr. Morarotti
29:38You're too late
29:39You already rejected me once
29:42Have you forgotten?
29:44My words struck him like a bolt of lightning
29:46Seeing the state the Moretti family had fallen into
29:49Antonio could only stand there and
29:51Sigh heavily
29:53Don Morarotti
29:54For my father's sake
29:56I can consider letting the Morici family off the hook
30:00But I have one condition
30:02Antonio's eyes immediately lit up
30:04Commissioner Sinclair
30:06Name it
30:06If it saves the family
30:08I'll do whatever it takes
30:11Have you ever heard the saying
30:13The one who tied the knot
30:15Should be the one to untie
30:18Victoria
30:20What exactly are you saying?
30:22You want my father to disown me?
30:26I spread my hands and smiled
30:28Mr. Morazzi
30:31Weren't you just begging me to spare your family?
30:37Now that I've offered a solution
30:40Suddenly you don't like it?
30:43My seat was stolen
30:45Someone has to take responsibility
30:48I paused
30:51Given Ms. Russo's position
30:54She's not important enough to carry the entire blame
30:56My gaze settled on Vincent
30:58But you are exactly the right person
31:01Last sentence was intentionally directed at Antonio
31:04It made my position clear
31:06And it also left the Moretti family a way out
31:08After all the people responsible for this mess were Vincent and Vanessa
31:12Commissioner Sinclair
31:14It will be done
31:17Tomorrow I will convene a meeting of the Moretti family
31:21And I will formally remove Vanessa Moretti as heir to the family
31:24Vincent tried to argue
31:26Tried to fight
31:27But nothing he said mattered anymore
31:28The disaster had begun with him
31:30Only he could bring it to an end
31:32As for Vanessa
31:33The woman who had started everything
31:35She was taken away by commission enforcers that very night
31:38Considering what she had said to the presiding commissioner over the phone
31:41It was unlikely she would ever be welcomed at another mafia gathering again
31:46One year later
31:47When I returned to New York on commission business
31:49The name Vincent Moretti had all but disappeared from mafia circles
31:54The annual five family summit was my first public appearance since that night
31:59I returned as commissioner Sinclair
32:01My entrance silenced the grand ballroom
32:03Heads turned
32:03Vispers rippled through the crowd like a wave
32:06Commissioner Sinclair
32:07The youngest in history
32:08Five family heads rose almost simultaneously
32:11Their expressions a mix of respect and calculated eagerness
32:14Don Rossi of the Romano family approached first
32:17Offering a deep nod
32:19Commissioner, it is an honor
32:20Anything the commission needs
32:22The Romano stand ready
32:24One by one they vied for my attention
32:26Compliments on my leadership
32:27Subtle offers of alliances
32:29Gifts presented with practiced humility
32:31Even the usually stoic DeLucas smiled warmly
32:34Power tasted different now
32:35It wasn't the raw fear I'd seen that night
32:37It was polished deference
32:39I scanned the room casually
32:40Acknowledging each with a measured smile
32:42Then my gaze landed near the entrance
32:44A man in a plain black security uniform
32:46Stood rigidly by the doors
32:48Earpiece in place
32:49Vincent Moretti
32:50His once sharp features were gaunt
32:52Eyes hollow
32:53Our eyes met for a split second
32:54He looked away first
32:56Jaw tight
32:56Vanessa Russo slipped in on the arm of a minor associate from the outskirts
33:00Her dress was flashy but cheap
33:02Makeup heavy to hide exhaustion
33:04She clung to her new patron desperately
33:06Scanning the room until she spotted me
33:08Her smile faltered
33:09The ballroom glittered and every don in the room circled me like I was the only fixed star
33:15Left in the sky
33:15To the commissioner
33:17To the woman who gutted three account houses in half a year
33:21I smiled and said the right things
33:23But I was watching the corner
33:25Where Vanessa stood with her champagne
33:26I didn't hear what she whispered to the woman beside her
33:29The photo hit all five families by morning
33:31Me and an enforcer
33:33Close
33:33Intimate
33:34Damning
33:35I'd risen too fast
33:36Too impossibly
33:37So they believed it
33:38My assistant burst in at dawn
33:40Bloodless
33:41Ma'am
33:42We have a problem
33:43What kind of problem?
33:46Puts that look on your face
33:47I glanced at the photo
33:48Lifted my coffee
33:49Blew across the surface
33:51Oh
33:51That's
33:52That's all?
33:55Find out
33:55Which machine made it
33:57I want the name before tonight
33:59I turned back to my documents
34:01Somewhere across the city
34:03Vanessa was toasting a victory she hadn't won
34:05She always did celebrate early
34:08Three days was all it took to trace the machine
34:11The rest I handled the way I handle everything
34:13Cleanly
34:14My enforcers were waiting outside Vanessa's apartment
34:16They told me later how it went
34:18The black-edged card on the table
34:20Her face draining
34:24A gag order?
34:26Forging evidence against a commissioner
34:29Framing the committee
34:31You know where the last person is buried?
34:33He told me to do it!
34:35I don't know this woman!
34:36Nothing to do with me
34:37They threw her out with her suitcase
34:40The iron door sealed
34:41After that
34:42Not one person answered her calls
34:44That's the thing about people who buy their way up
34:47The moment you stop being useful
34:48You stop existing
34:50Three months later
34:51They brought me word of where she'd landed
34:52A basement bar
34:54Neon
34:54Heels she couldn't afford
34:56A drunk flicking a bill at her feet
34:57Telling her to dance
34:59I read the report
35:00Then set it down
35:02Leave her
35:03Let her rot there
35:06Antonio Moretti came to my estate himself
35:09In my sitting room
35:10Hat in hand
35:14The East Docks
35:15Three shipping lanes
35:17All of it
35:18To Sinclair
35:19If our families
35:20Can go back
35:21To how things were
35:23Don Moretti
35:25It's been a long time
35:27Since you begged anyone in person
35:30My son made a mistake
35:31Young men are foolish
35:32Foolish
35:35His advisor threw a stack of cash
35:37In my face
35:38In front of 200 people
35:41Told me to take the money
35:42And crawl
35:45You call that foolish?
35:51A shattered mirror
35:53Can't be made whole
35:54Don Moretti
35:58The night your son threw money at me
36:01There stopped being anything at all
36:03Between our families
36:04See him out
36:06He stood there a long moment
36:08Then walked out bent at the shoulders
36:10One slow step at a time
36:12Through the window
36:13I watched the man who had ruled for 40 years
36:15Finally look his age
36:19I watched the man who had ruled for 40 years
36:20I watched the man who had ruled for 40 years
36:20I watched the man who had ruled for 40 years
36:20I watched the man who had ruled for 40 years
36:20I watched the man who had ruled for 40 years
36:20I watched the man who had ruled for 40 years
