01:14I'm busy, make it quick.
01:15Mr. Moretti, your advisor just told me the Moretti family controls everything here.
01:20Is that true?
01:22I was about to hand the phone to Vanessa.
01:24He hung up.
01:25I froze for a moment.
01:26Was the future godfather really this arrogant?
01:29Oh my God.
01:30I thought you were somebody important.
01:32And look at that.
01:34Why would Vincent ever bother with a nobody like you?
01:37She looked me up and down, young, simply dressed, no bodyguards.
01:41So why are you still here?
01:43Leave.
01:45Now.
01:46Or I swear, you'll never make it out of this ceremony alive.
01:50I'd spent years at commission headquarters.
01:52I wasn't used to dealing with this kind of trashy attitude.
01:55You stole my seat.
01:57Now you're threatening me too.
01:59What next?
02:00Are you planning to crown yourself, godfather?
02:04Holy shit.
02:05Is she crazy?
02:07She actually talked back to Vanessa Russo.
02:10Doesn't she know who that is?
02:11It's just deceit.
02:12Why make things difficult for yourself?
02:14People who mess with Vanessa never end well.
02:16Of all people.
02:18She had to mess with Vincent's favorite advice.
02:20As the whispers grew louder, Vanessa's smug smile became impossible to hide.
02:25You bitch!
02:28How dare you talk to me like that?
02:30Do you have a death wish?
02:32Her threat meant nothing to me.
02:35Vanessa, right?
02:36I suggest you clean up your mouth.
02:39If you really manage to piss me off,
02:42even your precious Vincent won't be able to deal with the consequences.
02:49Bullshit.
02:50There's nothing Vincent Moretti can't handle.
02:53Vanessa cursed and lunged at me,
02:54her hands swinging toward my face.
02:56The moment she lunged forward,
02:57I caught her wrist and quit.
02:58Let me go!
03:00At that exact moment,
03:02a cold and authoritative voice thundered from nearby.
03:07Stop.
03:13Vanessa.
03:13A tall man surrounded by bodyguards strode toward us.
03:20You're my advisor.
03:21I studied the man in front of me.
03:23Since when did I give you permission to start fights at my ceremony?
03:27He had to admit,
03:28my father had good taste.
03:30The only flaw was the cold look in his eyes.
03:32Mr. Moretti,
03:33since this is our first meeting,
03:34allow me to introduce myself.
03:36My name is Victoria Sin.
03:38No need.
03:40We've already met.
03:42I don't think we're a good match.
03:45You can leave now.
03:46For a moment,
03:47I thought I'd misheard him.
03:48I'd crossed the Atlantic under the commission's protection,
03:51only to be dismissed before I'd even finished introducing myself.
03:54You're the fiancé my father picked for me, aren't you?
03:57You won't even let me finish a sentence
04:00before throwing me out.
04:01The more I thought about it,
04:02the angrier I became.
04:04Don't you think
04:05that's a little rude?
04:08Rude?
04:08You should take a good look in the mirror.
04:11Do you honestly think
04:13you're worthy of marrying me?
04:16I won't marry a woman
04:18who brings nothing to the table.
04:20She's Vincenza's fiancé?
04:21That's unbelievable.
04:23A nobody like her
04:24actually thinks she can marry
04:25into the Moretti family?
04:27She should take a look in the mirror
04:28before reaching that high.
04:29Vanessa could have any woman in New York.
04:30Seriously, seriously.
04:31Look at her.
04:32She doesn't belong anywhere near
04:33the Moratti family.
04:34Voices grew louder.
04:35Meanwhile,
04:35I was completely confused.
04:37When the hell did I ever say
04:38I wanted to marry him?
04:39Even if I did,
04:40I'd still need the commission's approval.
04:42Fine.
04:42I'm a nobody
04:44in your God's gift to women.
04:47Happy?
04:49If Mr. Morelcy isn't interested,
04:51I'll leave.
04:53But first,
04:56your advisor
04:57took my seat.
05:00You bitch.
05:02Are you seriously
05:04still pretending
05:06in front of Vinciscent?
05:08The entire succession ceremony
05:11is under the Moretti family's control.
05:13What makes you think
05:14you get a say?
05:18Vanessa,
05:20all I wanted
05:21was my own seat.
05:24What does that have to do
05:25with who owns bills
05:26this ceremony?
05:27Before she could answer,
05:28Vinciscent pulled out his wallet.
05:29He tossed a black card
05:31onto the table.
05:33I'll give you
05:34ten times the amount.
05:35Take the money.
05:37And disappear.
05:41Mr. Moretti is certainly generous.
05:43In that case,
05:46I'll gladly accept.
05:50Stop!
05:52What?
05:54Did Ms. Russell change her mind?
05:59Victoria,
06:00did you assault my advisor?
06:03Boss,
06:04my wrist still hurts so bad.
06:06I had to admit,
06:07using Vinciscent against me
06:08was a clever move.
06:09She twisted it.
06:10What if it affects
06:11tonight's ceremony?
06:12She needs to take responsibility.
06:15Considering the first impression
06:15he'd formed of me tonight,
06:17I knew explaining myself
06:18would be a waste of time.
06:19Whether I touched her or not
06:21isn't important.
06:22Just tell me
06:22how you want to handle this.
06:24Vinciscent seemed surprised
06:26by how calm I was.
06:28How else?
06:29Apologize.
06:30That's not happening.
06:32Give me another option.
06:34One million dollars.
06:35As Mr. Moretti's
06:36personal advisor,
06:37I deal with multi-million dollar
06:38business every day.
06:39You assaulted me.
06:42Now my arm hurts.
06:43You need to compensate me.
06:46One million?
06:47Isn't that a bit much?
06:48Boss,
06:49you're too kind.
06:51I was assaulted
06:52on our own turf.
06:53If we let this slide,
06:55what will people think
06:56of the Moretti name?
06:57Vinciscent approached me slowly.
06:59His gaze was cold
07:00and unforgiving.
07:03Victoria,
07:04you dare lay hands
07:05on a member
07:06of my organization?
07:08You will apologize
07:09to Vanessa.
07:11You will pay her
07:12one million dollars
07:13and then you'll leave
07:15this ceremony.
07:17Apologize.
07:19If 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
07:33has spoken.
07:34Once Vincinnet
07:35blacklists you,
07:36you're done
07:37in this world.
07:38A million dollars?
07:40She'll never be able
07:41to pay that.
07:42Just apologize,
07:44girl.
07:45You can't win
07:46against the Moretti's.
07:48I slowly scanned
07:49the entire hall,
07:50then looked straight
07:51at Vincent.
07:52Everyone here
07:52seems so sure.
07:53The Moretti family
07:55controls this ceremony
07:56tonight.
07:57Maybe you can start it.
08:00But I decide
08:01who actually
08:02becomes Godfather.
08:04You?
08:05Stop the succession ceremony?
08:07Who the hell
08:07do 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
08:16my encrypted phone
08:17and dialed a number
08:18that very few people
08:19in North America
08:20even knew existed.
08:23Commissioner Sinclair,
08:24have you arrived
08:26at 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
08:42to blacklist me
08:43from every mafia family
08:45in the country.
08:48I'd like to know
08:49how the commission
08:51would like me
08:51to 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
09:07directly by the commission.
09:09Are you telling me
09:10someone tried to remove you
09:12from it?
09:13Not only that,
09:15they accused me
09:16of assault
09:18and demanded
09:20a $1 million in compensation.
09:22Briefly explained
09:23what had happened.
09:24A loud crash
09:24suddenly came through the phone.
09:26It sounded like someone
09:27had smashed a glass
09:28against the wall.
09:29Then a cold voice asked.
09:31I 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?
09:39Listen carefully.
09:41You've got one hour
09:42to deliver the money.
09:45Otherwise,
09:47start planning her funeral.
09:49The entire hall
09:50went silent.
09:51The person on the other end
09:52seemed stunned
09:53for a moment.
09:54You're the one
09:55who stole her seat.
09:57And you're demanding
09:59compensation from her?
10:02That's a crash.
10:04Either you pay
10:05or she pays.
10:07What's so hard
10:08to understand?
10:12One million?
10:14I think that's
10:14far too little.
10:15What?
10:16How about
10:17one hundred million?
10:18I'll have it
10:19delivered immediately.
10:21For the first time,
10:23Vanessa looked
10:24caught off guard.
10:25Then she sneered.
10:26Old man,
10:26who are you
10:27trying to scare?
10:28One hundred million.
10:30If you've got the guts,
10:32bring cash.
10:33She hung up immediately.
10:35Then she turned
10:35toward Vincent
10:36with a smug smile,
10:37looking almost
10:38proud of herself.
10:40Seeing her expression,
10:41I couldn't help laughing.
10:42Mr. Moretti,
10:44you really found yourself
10:46an extraordinary advisor.
10:49What do you mean?
10:50I smiled.
10:52She just threatened
10:53a commissioner
10:55and insulted
10:57a senior member
10:59of the commission.
11:01That's not something
11:02you see every day.
11:04I don't care who he is.
11:06The succession ceremony
11:08is about to begin.
11:10so get out.
11:12I laughed instead.
11:14The ceremony?
11:15Without my approval?
11:17The 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
11:27came from the entrance.
11:28Get outside!
11:29Outside,
11:30a convoy of black
11:31armored SUVs
11:32was racing
11:33toward the estate,
11:34one after another.
11:35At least 20 vehicles.
11:36The lead car
11:37bore a silver crest
11:38that several older
11:39mafia bosses
11:40recognized instantly.
11:41Their faces turned pale.
11:43The Capos nearly dropped
11:45the cigar from his mouth.
11:46It's the mission.
11:48Before Vanessa
11:49could recover
11:50from her shock,
11:51the voice over
11:51the speaker system
11:52echoed throughout
11:53the estate.
11:54Attention.
11:56This is an official
11:57commission directive.
11:59The succession ceremony
12:00is suspended
12:01until further notice.
12:04All succession proceedings
12:05are hereby paused.
12:10What?
12:11Did they just
12:12suspend the ceremony?
12:13That's impossible!
12:15Several Capos
12:17immediately stood up.
12:18Even Vincent's
12:18expression changed.
12:20The ceremony
12:20had been scheduled
12:21for months,
12:22yet a single phone call
12:23had stopped everything.
12:24Within minutes,
12:25the massive doors
12:26of the hall swung open.
12:27More than a dozen men
12:28in black suits entered.
12:30Commission badges
12:30gleamed on their lapels.
12:32Their footsteps
12:33were 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.
12:42The leader of the group
12:42stopped in front of me.
12:45Commissioner Sinclair?
12:47That's me.
12:49The 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
13:03tonight's authorization 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.
13:21You came at the right time.
13:23That woman threatened my safety.
13:25Please handle it.
13:26The atmosphere around Vanessa
13:28instantly changed.
13:29Wait!
13:30Do you know who I am?
13:32I'm Vincent Morales' advisor!
13:34But he moved.
13:34Nobody cared.
13:35The chief enforcer
13:36calmly spoke into his radio.
13:38to you.
13:39To you.
13:39Two commission enforcers
13:40immediately stepped forward.
13:42Vanessa!
13:42Vincent, help me!
13:45Vanessa.
13:47I warned you.
13:49Threatening a commissioner
13:51rarely ends well.
13:53Seeing his advisor
13:55being dragged away,
13:56Vincent finally
13:57stepped forward.
13:58Commissioner Sinclair,
13:59I believe there's been
14:01a misunderstanding.
14:02It was the first time
14:02he had addressed me
14:03properly.
14:04A misunderstanding?
14:07Your advisor stole my seat.
14:10Demanded one million dollars.
14:13Threatened to blacklist me
14:16from every mafia family event.
14:21And you supported her.
14:23Vincent's jaw tightened.
14:25The chief enforcer
14:26suddenly stepped forward.
14:47The chief enforcer
14:56handed me a document.
14:57The presiding commissioner
14:59felt one million dollars
15:00was too early.
15:03He authorized
15:04a one hundred million.
15:07The hall erupted.
15:09Even Vincent's pupils
15:10contracted.
15:11Meanwhile,
15:12Vanessa looked like
15:13she was about to collapse.
15:20Mrs. Russo,
15:23the hundred million
15:24you asked for
15:25has arrived.
15:27now,
15:28we should probably discuss
15:29the compensation
15:30you owe me.
15:33You little bitch!
15:35I'm warning you.
15:36You're standing in
15:37more ready,
15:38terror.
15:38Don't push your luck.
15:41Oh.
15:43was that a threat?
15:44Seeing the situation
15:46spiraling out of control,
15:47Vincent finally stepped forward.
15:49Victoria,
15:51is this really necessary?
15:54Vanellera may have acted impulsively,
15:56but she's still one of my people.
15:59Give me some respect.
16:04respect?
16:09You really think your respect
16:11is worth that much?
16:14Vincent's face
16:15immediately darkened.
16:17Victoria,
16:19I suggest you remember
16:21where you are.
16:22This is Moretti territory.
16:33I slowly pulled out
16:34my phone.
16:39Let's be honest.
16:40The only reason
16:41she dares to act this way
16:42is because she believes
16:44is the Moretti family
16:46can protect her.
16:48Several mafia bosses
16:49exchanged nervous glances.
16:51Something told them
16:52this conversation
16:52was heading somewhere dangerous.
16:55Since we're already
16:57making a scene tonight,
16:58I might as well
16:59make it memorable.
17:00Then,
17:01in front of everyone,
17:02I dialed another number.
17:03The call connected
17:04after a single ring.
17:06A deep,
17:07authoritative voice
17:08answered immediately.
17:09Commissioner Sin Laird,
17:10I thought you were attending
17:12Vanessa's succession ceremony.
17:14What can I do for you?
17:16Don Moretti,
17:18I have a question for you.
17:23Vincent's pupils contracted
17:25that voice.
17:26He knew that voice.
17:27Every mafia boss
17:28in New York
17:29knew that voice.
17:30It belonged to
17:30Antonio Moretti,
17:32the current godfather
17:33of the Moretti family,
17:34Vincent's father.
17:35Before anyone could react,
17:36I continued calmly.
17:39Have the Moretti
17:41become too comfortable lately?
17:43Silence.
17:44Dead silence.
17:45Even Vincent's face changed.
17:47Then I continued,
17:49using Vanessa's exact tone
17:50from earlier.
17:51You have 10 minutes.
17:53Get to the estate.
17:54Otherwise,
17:56I don't mind helping.
17:59The commission
18:00reconsidered
18:01who should become
18:03the next godfather
18:05of the Moretti family.
18:07The line went completely silent.
18:08A second later,
18:09a loud crash
18:10echoed through the speaker.
18:11It sounded like a glass
18:13had shattered on the floor.
18:16Commissioner Sinclair,
18:17please calm down.
18:20I'll be there immediately.
18:22The hall ended.
18:22The entire hall
18:23fell 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 Moretti.
18:34One of the most powerful men
18:36in New York.
18:42Several guests
18:44looked at me
18:44as if they were seeing a ghost.
18:46Others still couldn't believe it.
18:47Even if she knows powerful people.
18:48This is still Moretti territory.
18:50The Moretti family
18:51has ruled here for decades.
18:53Nobody can challenge them.
18:56Vincent's expression darkened.
18:59Victoria,
19:01I don't care
19:01who you're connected to.
19:03But the Moretti family
19:04won't be threatened.
19:09Mr. Moretti,
19:10I think you've misunderstood something.
19:14You stopped creeing
19:15about 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
19:27off the hook.
19:28The hall instantly exploded.
19:30Several Mafia bosses
19:32nearly dropped their drinks.
19:34You 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
19:46through that door.
19:48I'd love to meet
19:49this mysterious protector of yours.
19:52Minutes passed.
19:53More and more luxury cars
19:54began arriving outside the estate.
19:56One after another.
19:58Rolls Royces,
19:59Bentleys,
20:00armored SUVs
20:01bearing family crests.
20:05Guests rushed
20:06toward the windows.
20:07My God.
20:08That's the Romano family.
20:09And that's the DeLocco.
20:11Why are so many family bosses
20:13showing up?
20:13Then suddenly,
20:14the massive doors
20:15of the hall burst open.
20:16A middle-aged man
20:17in a tailored black suit
20:18hurried inside.
20:20Despite his age,
20:21nobody dared ignore him.
20:22The moment he appeared,
20:23dozens of people
20:24instinctively lowered their heads.
20:27Vincent froze.
20:28Don Moretti!
20:29You're finally here!
20:31Antonio Moretti
20:32didn't even look at them.
20:33Instead,
20:34he pushed through the crowd.
20:35His forehead glistened with sweat.
20:37His breathing was uneven.
20:38Then,
20:38to everyone's disbelief,
20:40the current godfather
20:41of the Moretti family
20:42stopped in front of me.
20:45Commissioner Sinclair,
20:46my deepest apologies.
20:49It was my family's failure
20:50that allowed you
20:52to be insulted tonight.
20:58Seeing the scene before him,
21:00Antonio Moretti's face
21:01instantly turned to him.
21:02Commissioner Sinclair,
21:03I wasn't too late,
21:04was I?
21:05I glanced at my watch
21:06and smiled.
21:07Another minute,
21:08Don Moretti.
21:11And your son
21:12wouldn't be inheriting anything.
21:14Antonio immediately
21:14broke out in a cold sweat.
21:16A loud smack
21:17echoed through the hall.
21:18Five red fingerprints
21:19instantly appeared
21:20on Vincent's face.
21:22Idiot!
21:22Do you have any idea
21:23what you've done?
21:25Get over here
21:26and apologize
21:27to Commissioner Sinclair.
21:28Vincent was completely stunned.
21:31Dad?
21:32What are you doing?
21:34She's the one
21:34disrespecting the Moretti family.
21:36She's the one
21:37causing trouble
21:38at our ceremony.
21:39Why are you taking her side?
21:47You still have the nerve
21:49to ask why?
21:50Who gave you
21:51the right
21:52to question
21:53Commissioner Sinclair?
21:55I watched quietly.
21:56The anger in my chest
21:57eased slightly,
21:58but it wasn't enough.
21:59The Moretti family
22:00still owed me
22:01an explanation.
22:02To his credit,
22:02Antonio handled
22:03the situation
22:04far better than his son.
22:05His words were forceful,
22:07but Vincent looked
22:08even more confused.
22:09He simply couldn't understand
22:10why his father
22:11was so furious
22:12over an outsider.
22:13Unfortunately for him,
22:14only a handful of people
22:15knew the truth,
22:16and Antonio
22:17happened to be
22:18one of them.
22:18At that moment,
22:19Vanessa suddenly
22:20stepped forward.
22:21Don Moretti.
22:22This woman obviously
22:23has no respect
22:24for the Moretti family.
22:25Vanessa was only trying
22:26to protect
22:28the family's reputation.
22:33Even if she has connections,
22:35this is still
22:35Moretti territory.
22:37No matter who she is,
22:39we can't lose face
22:41in front of the five families,
22:42can we?
22:48The guests around us
22:49nodded in agreement
22:50after hearing
22:51Vanessa's words.
22:52But Antonio Moretti
22:53made a decision
22:54no one expected.
22:55Vanessa's advisor, correct?
22:57Yes, Don Moretti.
22:59You're fired.
23:00The entire hall
23:01fell silent.
23:02To everyone else,
23:03it looked as though
23:04Antonio had completely
23:05lost track
23:05of the situation.
23:07But I knew better.
23:07He was making
23:08one last desperate
23:09attempt to save
23:10the Moretti family.
23:11I found a comfortable seat
23:12and watched quietly,
23:14leaving the stage to him.
23:15To his credit,
23:15he didn't disappoint.
23:16In front of the
23:17assembled bosses,
23:18capos,
23:19and family representatives,
23:20Antonio pointed
23:21at Vincent and erupted.
23:22Vanessa Moretti,
23:24as the godfather
23:25of the Moretti family,
23:27I am ordering you
23:29to apologize
23:31to Commissioner Sinclair
23:33immediately.
23:35If you continue
23:37this stupidity,
23:38then you can forget
23:39about becoming
23:41the next godfather.
23:43The hall exploded
23:44into shocked whispers.
23:45Vincent froze.
23:46On one side
23:47was the pride
23:48of the Moretti family.
23:49On the other
23:49was his own father.
23:56An apology
23:57won't be necessary.
23:59The room immediately
24:00fell silent again.
24:01Every eye turned toward me.
24:06I think whatever
24:07nextion existed
24:09between me
24:10and the Moretti family
24:12has come to an end.
24:14A sense of unease
24:16spread through the room.
24:17Everyone present
24:17understood what
24:18those words meant.
24:19If Victoria Sinclair
24:20walked away tonight,
24:21the Moretti family
24:22wouldn't just lose
24:23a marriage alliance.
24:24They might lose
24:25their next godfather
24:26as well.
24:29At my words,
24:31Antonio visibly stiffened.
24:32He carefully glanced
24:33at me.
24:34Commissioner Sinclair,
24:35let's not do
24:36anything rash.
24:37If there's anything
24:38you want,
24:39name it.
24:42We'll make it right.
24:43I curled my lips
24:44into a faint smile.
24:46Don Marotti,
24:48What exactly
24:48are you suggesting?
24:53Are you trying
24:54to buy your way
24:54out of this?
24:56To be honest,
24:58I've dealt with
24:58plenty of hard cases
24:59over 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
25:13anyone else tonight,
25:14would you have come
25:15here in person,
25:16Don Moresti?
25:17Or would one phone call
25:19have been enough
25:19to make the problem
25:21disappear?
25:23Antonio's face
25:24turned pale.
25:25He couldn't even
25:26meet my eyes.
25:27Commissioner Sinclair,
25:29today's incident
25:29was entirely our fault.
25:31We're willing
25:32to make amends.
25:34Whatever compensation
25:35you ask for,
25:37I won't negotiate.
25:38Vincent had never
25:38seen his father
25:39act this humbly before.
25:41Unable to accept it,
25:42he stepped forward again.
25:43The Moretzi family
25:45is one of the most
25:46powerful families
25:47in New York.
25:49Why are you
25:50lowering yourself
25:51for her?
25:55So,
25:57you still believe
25:59in what a family
26:00can do whatever
26:02it wants
26:02in the city?
26:04is one of the most
26:08important things
26:08in the city.
26:10The Moretzi family
26:11Although I rarely
26:11interacted with the
26:12outside world
26:13these past few years,
26:15I had met more
26:15than my share
26:16of powerful people.
26:17And whether it was
26:18wealth, influence,
26:19or authority,
26:20the Moretzi family
26:21didn't even rank
26:22near the top.
26:26Victoria, I'm not as
26:27easy to fool
26:27as my father.
26:28If you've got something
26:29up your sleeve
26:30then do it.
26:34Confidence is a good thing,
26:36Mr. Moretzi.
26:39But blind confidence
26:43is another matter
26:44entire.
26:48The Moretzi family
26:50may be the center
26:51of your world,
26:53but to me
26:55it isn't worth
26:56mentioning.
26:57Antonio's face
26:58instantly changed.
26:59He was about to speak
27:00when I raised a hand
27:01and stopped him.
27:01Don Morati.
27:04You heard what
27:05your son said?
27:06If I don't respond
27:07to this,
27:08people might start
27:08thinking.
27:10Commissioner
27:11Singlaire is easy
27:12to believe.
27:12The moment I finished
27:13speaking,
27:14Vincent's phone rang.
27:16What?
27:17What did you just say?
27:20The commission
27:21opened an investigation
27:21and a commission
27:23oversight team
27:24is already
27:25reviewing family records?
27:29After confirming
27:30it twice,
27:31Vincent stood frozen
27:32in place.
27:33Slowly,
27:34he lifted his head
27:35and stared at me.
27:36Victoria.
27:37Even now,
27:37he still couldn't
27:38believe it.
27:39Don't tell me
27:40this was you.
27:41This time,
27:42however,
27:43I didn't need
27:43to answer.
27:44Vincent Mororati!
27:46How could I have
27:47raised someone
27:48this stupid?
27:50Have you still
27:51not realized
27:52what you've done?
27:54Do you intend
27:55to drag the entire
27:57Mororati family
27:57down with you?
28:00My God.
28:02Do you still
28:03not understand
28:03why I arranged
28:04this marriage?
28:06I've overlooked
28:07your mistakes
28:08your entire life.
28:09But tonight,
28:10of all people,
28:12you chose to offend
28:13Commissioner Singlaire.
28:14The more Antonio
28:15spoke,
28:16the more agitated
28:17he became.
28:17By the end,
28:18he was practically
28:19shaking with rage.
28:20To be fair,
28:21there wasn't a single
28:22exaggeration in anything
28:24he said.
28:24And that wasn't even
28:25counting the fact that
28:26Vanessa had stolen
28:27in my seat.
28:28Under Antonio's
28:29relentless scolding,
28:30Vincent finally began
28:31to understand.
28:32His voice became
28:33uncertain.
28:35Dad,
28:37what are you saying?
28:38Her background is
28:39powerful enough
28:40that even the
28:41Mororati family
28:42can't afford to
28:42offend her?
28:43At that moment,
28:44the atmosphere in the
28:45hall completely changed.
28:46Every person present
28:47looked at me differently.
28:48The disbelief was gone.
28:50Only fear remained,
28:51especially Vanessa.
28:52She had retreated
28:53deep into the crowd.
28:54Her body trembled
28:55visibly.
28:56She couldn't even
28:56bring herself to
28:57look me in the eye.
28:58Mr. Mororati,
29:00you should be grateful
29:01your advisor didn't
29:03go any further.
29:07Otherwise,
29:08this wouldn't have
29:09ended with a
29:09simple investigation.
29:14Vincent's face was
29:15pale and his voice
29:16trembled.
29:17Commissioner Singlaire,
29:19I know I was wrong.
29:21I was blind.
29:24I underestimated you.
29:26What if we go through
29:27with the marriage?
29:28We can announce
29:29the engagement immediately.
29:30We can even hold
29:31the wedding as soon
29:31as you want.
29:32I curled my lips
29:33into a faint smile
29:34and looked at him
29:35meaningfully.
29:35Mr. Mororati,
29:38you're too late.
29:40You already rejected
29:41me once.
29:42Have you forgotten?
29:44My words struck him
29:45like a bolt of lightning.
29:46Seeing the state
29:47the Mororati family
29:48had fallen into,
29:49Antonio could only
29:50stand there and
29:51sigh heavily.
29:53Don Mororati,
29:55for my father's sake,
29:57I can consider
29:58letting the Morici family
29:59off the hook,
30:00but I have one condition.
30:02Antonio's eyes
30:03immediately lit up.
30:05Commissioner Singlaire,
30:06name it.
30:07If it saves the family,
30:08I'll do whatever it takes.
30:11Have you ever heard
30:12the saying,
30:12the one who tied the knot
30:14should be the one
30:16to untie?
30:18Victoria,
30:20what exactly are you saying?
30:22You want my father
30:23to disown me?
30:26I spread my hands
30:28and smiled.
30:29Mr. Morizzi,
30:31weren't you just begging
30:32me to spare your family?
30:34No.
30:37No.
30:38that I've offered
30:38a solution?
30:40Suddenly,
30:40you don't like it?
30:43My seat was stolen.
30:45Someone has to take
30:46responsibility.
30:48I paused.
30:51Given Ms. Russo's position,
30:54she's not important enough
30:55to carry the entire blame.
30:57My gaze settled on Vincent.
30:59But you
31:00are exactly the right.
31:01The last sentence
31:02was intentionally directed
31:03at Antonio.
31:04It made my position clear,
31:06and it also left
31:07the Moretti family
31:08a way out.
31:09After all the people
31:10responsible for this mess
31:11were Vincent and Vanessa.
31:13Commissioner Sinclair,
31:14it will be done.
31:17Tomorrow,
31:17I will convene a meeting
31:18of the Moretti family
31:21and I will formally remove
31:22Vanessa Moretti
31:23as heir to the family.
31:25Vincent tried to argue,
31:26tried to fight,
31:27but nothing he said
31:28mattered anymore.
31:29The disaster had begun
31:30with him.
31:31Only he could bring it
31:32to an end.
31:32As for Vanessa,
31:33the woman who had
31:34started everything,
31:35she was taken away
31:36by commission enforcers
31:37that very night.
31:38Considering what she had
31:39said to the presiding
31:40commissioner over the phone,
31:42it was unlikely
31:42she would ever be welcomed
31:44at another mafia gathering
31:45again.
31:46One year later,
31:47when I returned to New York
31:48on commission business,
31:49the name Vincent Moretti
31:50had all but disappeared
31:52from mafia circles.
31:55The annual five-family summit
31:57was my first public appearance
31:58since that night.
31:59I returned as
32:00Commissioner Sinclair.
32:01My entrance silenced
32:02the grand ballroom.
32:03Heads turned.
32:03vispers rippled through the crowd
32:05like a wave.
32:06Commissioner Sinclair,
32:07the youngest in history.
32:09Five family heads rose
32:10almost simultaneously,
32:12their expressions a mix of respect
32:13and calculated eagerness.
32:15Don Rossi of the Romano family
32:16approached first,
32:18offering a deep nod.
32:19Commissioner,
32:19it is an honor.
32:21Anything the commission needs,
32:23the Romano stand ready.
32:24One by one,
32:25they vied for my attention.
32:26Compliments on my leadership,
32:28subtle offers of alliances,
32:29gifts presented with practiced humility.
32:31Even the usually stoic DeLuca's
32:33smiled warmly.
32:34Power tasted different now.
32:36It wasn't the raw fear
32:37I'd seen that night.
32:38It was polished deference.
32:39I scanned the room casually,
32:41acknowledging each
32:41with a measured smile.
32:42Then my gaze landed
32:43near the entrance.
32:44A man in a plain black
32:46security uniform
32:46stood rigidly by the doors,
32:48earpiece in place.
32:49Vincent Moretti.
32:50His once sharp features
32:51were gaunt,
32:52eyes hollow.
32:53Our eyes met
32:54for a split second.
32:55He looked away first,
32:56jaw tight.
32:57Vanessa Russo slipped in
32:58on the arm of a minor associate
32:59from the outskirts.
33:01Her dress was flashy but cheap,
33:02makeup heavy to hide exhaustion.
33:04She clung to her new patron desperately,
33:06scanning the room
33:07until she spotted me.
33:08Her smile faltered.
33:09The ballroom glittered
33:11and every don in the room
33:12circled me like I was
33:13the only fixed star
33:15left in the sky.
33:15To the commissioner,
33:17to the woman
33:18who gutted three account houses
33:20in half a year.
33:21I smiled and said
33:22the right things,
33:23but I was watching the corner,
33:25where Vanessa stood
33:26with her champagne.
33:26I didn't hear
33:27what she whispered
33:28to the woman beside her.
33:29The photo hit
33:30all five families by morning.
33:32Me and an enforcer.
33:33Close, intimate, damning.
33:35I'd risen too fast,
33:36too impossibly,
33:37so they believed it.
33:38My assistant burst in
33:39at dawn, bloodless.
33:42Ma'am, we have a problem.
33:44What kind of problem?
33:46What's that look on your face?
33:47I glanced at the photo,
33:49lifted my coffee,
33:50blew across the surface.
33:51Oh, that's, that's all?
33:55Find out which machine made it.
33:58I want the name before tonight.
34:00I turned back to my documents.
34:02Somewhere across the city,
34:03Vanessa was toasting
34:04a victory she hadn't won.
34:05She always did celebrate early.
34:08Three days was all it took
34:10to trace the machine.
34:11The rest I handled
34:12the way I handle everything,
34:13cleanly.
34:14My enforcers were waiting
34:15outside Vanessa's apartment.
34:17They told me later
34:17how it went.
34:18The black-edged card
34:19on the table,
34:20her face draining.
34:24A gag order?
34:26Forging evidence
34:27against a commissioner.
34:29Framing the committee.
34:31You know where
34:32the last person was buried.
34:33He told me to do it!
34:35I don't know this woman!
34:36Nothing to do with me.
34:38They threw her out
34:39with her suitcase.
34:40The iron door sealed.
34:42After that,
34:42not one person
34:43answered her calls.
34:44That's the thing
34:45about people
34:46who buy their way up.
34:47The moment you stop
34:48being useful,
34:49you stop existing.
34:50Three months later,
34:51they brought me word
34:52of where she'd landed.
34:53A basement bar.
34:54Neon.
34:54Heels she couldn't afford.
34:56A drunk flicking a bill
34:57at her feet,
34:58telling her to dance.
34:59I read the report,
35:00then set it down.
35:02Leave her.
35:03Let her rot there.
35:07Antonio Moretti came to my estate himself.
35:10In my sitting room,
35:11hat in hand.
35:14The East Docks.
35:15Three shipping lanes.
35:17All of it to Sinclair.
35:19If our families
35:20can go back
35:21to how things were.
35:24Don Moretti,
35:26it's been a long time
35:28since you begged
35:29anyone in person.
35:30My son made a mistake.
35:31Young men are foolish.
35:33Foolish.
35:35His advisor
35:36threw 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?
35:48Foolish.
35:51A shattered mirror
35:53can't be made whole.
35:55Don Moretti.
35:58The night your son
35:59threw money at me.
36:02There stopped being anything at all
36:03between our families.
36:05C.M. out.
36:06He stood there a long moment,
36:08then walked out
36:09bent at the shoulders,
36:11one slow step at a time.
36:12Through the window,
36:13I watched the man
36:14who had ruled for 40 years
36:15finally look his age.
36:19in the youth.
36:19the name of father
36:19in his house.
36:19There's been a man
36:19who sweep the money
36:20and has guns
36:20and
36:20coming to
36:20get full and
36:20to
36:21Senator
