FunTranscript
00:02Revnard Castillo had an obsession that bordered on sickness.
00:06Every woman he kept by his side had to be pure.
00:09So for five years, he sent 99 mysteries to my underground clinic
00:13and ordered me to perform high men reconstruction on them.
00:16Today marks the 100th person.
00:19So you're Soraya Visanti?
00:22My voice stayed calm.
00:24Give me the chart.
00:25Her eyes moved over my white coat, then stopped on the empty ring finger beneath my glove.
00:30I heard you and Revnard have been married for five years.
00:34And he still hasn't touched you once.
00:38We've only known each other ten days.
00:41And he can barely keep his hands off me.
00:44The clinic fell silent for half a second.
00:47This wasn't an ordinary hospital.
00:49This was the Castillo family's underground clinic beneath New York's South Harbor.
00:57Above us were a casino and a cigar lounge.
01:03Anyone who entered this place was either a maid member or someone the family had chosen to let live.
01:09And I was Revnard's wife in name only, and the private gyneologist he found most convenient.
01:15Mrs. Castillo, the room is ready.
01:20He likes it when I cry, like it's my first time.
01:23But last night, I got too eager and ruined his fun.
01:30You can fix that, right?
01:35I almost feel sorry for you.
01:38You're supposed to be the Dawn's wife, but you've never even been his bed.
01:42You have no idea what Revnard is like there.
01:49Allergies?
01:50None.
01:51Bleeding history?
01:52Ask Remed.
01:53He knows better than I do.
01:58The first time at At Renod brought a woman here, I stormed into his screwed, smashed his liquor cabinet, and
02:05asked why he had to humiliate me like this.
02:11Saraya, be good.
02:13The Viserandi family has fallen.
02:15Your father's debts are being carried by the Castillos.
02:18Do you dare divorce me?
02:20All you have to do is be my wife, quietly.
02:23When I'm done playing, I'll come home.
02:27After that, I stopped making scenes.
02:29I stitched up his women.
02:31I restored the illusion they sold to him.
02:33Stitch by stitch, I also sewed shut whatever love I had left for him.
02:42Don't.
02:43He didn't look at me.
02:44Scared?
02:45How could I be scared when Mrs. Castillo is here?
02:48She's so generous.
02:50She even takes care of her husband's women.
02:53Make it look good.
02:55Same fee?
02:59Payment.
03:00His fingers brushed the fabric over my chest.
03:02My heart didn't beat faster.
03:04This time, I didn't cry.
03:06Because he had forgotten.
03:07On our wedding night five years ago, he was the one who made me sign the contract.
03:12A five-year marriage.
03:13It expired today.
03:15I have decided to divorce Renard.
03:18By the time the surgery was over, Ivita still hadn't woken up.
03:22I peeled off my blood-stained gloves, sealed the medical record in a file, and called a number I hadn't.
03:27T-dialed in a long time.
03:32Saroya.
03:35Grandfather, I received the flight details.
03:38If you're willing to come home, the Visanti family still has a spring.
03:43I'm leaving tonight.
03:47Who were you talking to?
03:52A telemarketer.
03:53He didn't press.
03:54In five years of marriage, he never cared who I spoke to, where I went, or when I came back.
03:58He only remembered me when he needed me.
04:00When he needed surgery for one of his women.
04:03When he needed me at a family banquet.
04:05When he needed the dignity of Mrs. Castillo in front of outsiders.
04:10What do you think of this bracelet?
04:12It was the same style I had looked at a little too long in a magazine last month.
04:16For one shameful second, my heart skipped.
04:19Ivita should like it.
04:20That tiny tremor died right then.
04:22It's beautiful.
04:23She like it.
04:24Maybe I was too calm, because Renard looked at me for an extra beat.
04:28I'll drive you back to the estate.
04:29She won't wake from the anesthesia for another half hour.
04:32In five years of marriage, aside from the wedding car, I had never ridden in Renard's car.
04:39Renard pressed his hand over mine.
04:41Sit in the back.
04:42His tone was as natural as if he were talking about the weather.
04:45Ivita is sensitive.
04:46If she knows someone else sat in her seat, she'll throw a fit.
04:49I looked at that passenger seat.
04:51A pink blanket was folded over it.
04:53The sweet smell of perfume was almost cloying.
04:56A half-finished strawberry milkshake sat in the cup holder.
04:59The playlist on the screen was full of light-hearted love songs.
05:02I used to like pink too.
05:04On our wedding night, I wore a pink nightdress and sat on the edge of the bed waiting for him.
05:13Saraya, I don't like pink.
05:14You're not my type either.
05:16Not touching you is me being responsible.
05:18That night, he handed me the marriage contract.
05:21A five-year alliance.
05:22Mutual benefit.
05:24After five years, automatic disillusion.
05:26My hand shook so badly when I signed that I almost couldn't hold the pen.
05:30Because when I was 12, I saw him for the first time.
05:33He stood at a Castillo charity banquet playing cello.
05:36Black hair.
05:37Dark eyes.
05:38A young king who seemed to have walked out of hell.
05:40My father was scolding me for playing the wrong piece.
05:44If you don't like it, don't play.
05:46That one sentence made me love him in secret for ten years.
05:49By the time the car reached the estate, snow had started falling.
05:53Renard didn't get out to open my door.
05:57You're awake.
05:58Don't cry.
05:59I'm coming back now.
06:00It's our ten-day anniversary tonight.
06:02The fireworks are already arranged.
06:04Ten-day anniversary.
06:05Today was our fifth wedding anniversary.
06:08Snowflakes fell on my shoulders.
06:10I'm leaving you.
06:12And I'll never see you again.
06:14I thought Renard wouldn't be back tonight.
06:16But I was woken up in the middle of the night by noises from the kitchen.
06:22He stared at a cooking tutorial on a tablet.
06:25Frowning as if he were studying the weapons ledger of a rival family.
06:30Five years ago, I had a fever of 102.
06:33I crawled to the door of his study and begged him to pour me a glass of water.
06:37Renard water.
06:39Please.
06:40I don't like the smell of oil in the kitchen.
06:43Wait.
06:43I'll call a servant.
06:45But that night, the Castillo family called an emergency meeting.
06:48He forgot.
06:49When the servants found me the next morning, I was unconscious from the fever and almost didn't wake up.
06:54And now, for Ivita, he was cooking with his own hands.
07:02Saria.
07:05I don't know how.
07:07Teach me.
07:08Renard wasn't incapable of patience.
07:10He had simply never given any of it to me.
07:14What do you want to eat?
07:16Nothing.
07:17Ivita wants chicken soup.
07:19I promised I'd make it myself.
07:21I should have turned and left.
07:23But I went into the kitchen.
07:29Under the kitchen lights, for one brief moment, I could almost pretend we had once been an ordinary married couple.
07:40Thank God for you.
07:43She's probably waiting.
07:45You are done.
07:45You have to be strong.
07:48At three in the morning, Ivita posted an update.
07:52My sweet don't made me soup himself.
07:55Renard almost never commented on public social media.
07:58This time, he replied with a kiss emoji.
08:01I stared at the screen, my finger hovering over the like button, then backed out.
08:05Next time, can we do it in your marriage bed?
08:08It was deleted almost immediately.
08:10Oh my God, Mrs. Castillo, I sent that to the wrong person.
08:13It was meant for Renard.
08:15You didn't see it, did you?
08:16I didn't reply.
08:17Your profile pictures look so similar, like couple avatars.
08:21I'll ask him to change his.
08:22Just so I don't make the same mistake again.
08:24I looked at Renard's profile photo.
08:27It was a side profile taken by his late mother.
08:29I had once begged him to use couple avatars with me.
08:32He called it childish.
08:34So I secretly found a similar one and treated it as a matching avatar only I knew about.
08:38Five minutes later, he changed his to a cartoon avatar that matched Aveda's.
08:44I refreshed the screen again and again until my eyes hurt.
08:54Five years ago, I had our wedding date tattooed onto my skin.
08:58When Renard saw it, he only laughed.
09:01Get it removed.
09:03It's ugly.
09:04I didn't remove it that day.
09:05Now I finally understood.
09:07The ugly thing wasn't the tattoo.
09:09It was this marriage I had imagined all by myself.
09:12I turned off my phone and reopened the plane ticket my grandfather had sent me.
09:16Midnight had passed, and I was fully aware that the contract I signed with Renard five
09:21years ago had expired.
09:22From this moment forward, I am no longer Renard's Donner.
09:25I am simply myself.
09:27Before dawn, the director of the underground clinic called me.
09:32Saraya, did you perform Aveda's Reconstruction?
09:36Yes.
09:38Something happened.
09:39She's hemorrhaging, and she says, she says you did it on purpose.
09:49It hurts, Renard.
09:52Don't let her touch me!
09:54She's jealous!
09:55She's jealous that you'd rather touch me than her!
09:58So, she ruined me on purpose!
10:03Saraya, apologize.
10:08If it was my fault, I need to examine her first.
10:11No!
10:12She'll hurt me again!
10:16Renard, does this mean I can't be with you anymore?
10:21Does it mean I can't give you children?
10:23That sentence struck exactly where Renard was weakest.
10:26The Castillo family needed an heir.
10:28And I, his wife, had given him no children in five years.
10:32Let Simon examine her.
10:34He was another doctor in the underground clinic.
10:37He had once treated a member of a rival family without permission, and I exposed him in front
10:41of everyone.
10:42Since then, there was poison in the way he looked at me.
10:45Of course, Don.
10:47I'll be impartial.
10:48I instinctively sensed danger.
10:54Found this inside the wound.
10:58Mrs. Castillo, this is a basic mistake.
11:01You shouldn't have made it.
11:03Impossible.
11:04Maybe it wasn't a mistake.
11:06Maybe it was revenge.
11:09Aveda's sobs grew louder at exactly the right time.
11:12Renard, I'm scared.
11:13Renard, I thought Mrs. Castillo was generous, but she hates me.
11:20Starting today, Soraya is no longer the chief surgeon of the underground clinic.
11:26Renard, you won't even investigate?
11:30I gave you dignity.
11:31You were the one who refused to behave.
11:34The news spread through the Castillo family within hours.
11:37The Don's wife got jealous of his new favorite and caused a medical accident on purpose.
11:41When I walked out of the clinic, several women I had treated before blocked my way.
11:46Quack!
11:47Jealous bitch!
11:49Monster!
11:51No wonder my boyfriend said I didn't feel like it was my first time.
11:55Your technique was garbage!
11:58I stood there, drenched and bleeding, watching my five years of work being trampled into filth.
12:04Renard walked past the entrance with Ivita in his arms.
12:09That's scary.
12:12Don't look.
12:13It's dirty.
12:14Dirty.
12:14The word landed on my skin harder than the slap.
12:17I was the doctor who had kept his underground clinic running for five years.
12:21I was the woman who had stitched his soldiers, his mistresses, and even his enemies when he needed them alive.
12:27But now, in his eyes, I was dirty.
12:32Bring her in.
12:40Good girl.
12:41I called it for you.
12:43I suddenly wanted to laugh.
12:44So he did know how to take care of someone.
12:47He just never wanted to take care of me.
12:52She's here.
12:54Is she going to hurt me again?
12:56Renard patted her back.
12:58Don't be afraid.
12:59I brought her here for you to take it out on.
13:03Really?
13:04I can do anything I want?
13:06Yes.
13:07She looked at me, her voice soft as honey.
13:10Then I want her to feel what I felt.
13:12Prepare the interrogation room.
13:14My head snapped up.
13:16Revnod, I am your wife.
13:17His eyes did not move.
13:19If you break the rules, you pay.
13:21That is family law.
13:24The interrogation room was on the second underground level.
13:27This was where they handled traitors.
13:29And people who refused to obey.
13:31I was forced into a chair.
13:33Leather straps locked my wrists in place.
13:37Relax, Mrs. Castillo.
13:39It's only an examination.
13:49Simon's expression changed quickly.
13:52Don't.
13:53Your wife is.
13:54Still a virgin.
13:56Behind the glass, Renard's body visibly stiffened.
13:59Five years.
14:00He had personally left me untouched until I became the Castillo family's greatest joke.
14:05Now he finally remembered I had never belonged to anyone.
14:10Renard.
14:12Don't do this to me.
14:14He seemed about to speak.
14:16But the next second...
14:19I'm bleeding again.
14:21Renard.
14:22Am I gonna die?
14:24She hurt me.
14:26She did this on purpose.
14:28Renard's gaze turned ruthless in an instant.
14:31He looked at Simon.
14:33Continue.
14:33Make her remember that Castillo law is not decoration.
14:36Mateo walked into the interrogation room.
14:39He was a low-level soldier at Renard's side.
14:41Normally, he didn't even have the right to look me in the eye.
14:44Now his gaze was sticky with excitement.
14:48The Don only wants her scared.
14:55Miss Evita said the Don doesn't care about her.
14:58That was the moment I understood.
15:00This wasn't a sudden punishment.
15:02This was a trap planned in advance.
15:04I struggled and screamed Renard's name.
15:07Renard!
15:08Stop this!
15:14He turned and held the sobbing Evita, never looking back at me.
15:19Renard, I'm so scared.
15:20It will be over soon.
15:22Those words were not for me.
15:27Don't blame me, Mrs. Castillo.
15:28A soldier follows orders.
15:34Simon, you know this is illegal!
15:36In this room, Le Gillet depends on owns the building.
15:43One, two, three.
15:59Who touched her?
16:00Every soldier froze.
16:02Before Matteo could react, the man shot him through the knee.
16:06Ha!
16:08My leg!
16:09My leg!
16:15Miss Araya.
16:16He lowered his head.
16:17His voice was cold and steady.
16:19I'm Aslai Victor.
16:21The Visconti family here, to take you home.
16:26The door had already filled with Visconti soldiers.
16:30He tried to approach me for the first time, but was stopped by the muzzle of a gun.
16:34I said silently,
16:37Too late, Renard.
16:38Someone has finally come to take me away from your hell.
16:48When I woke, the air smelled of disinfectant and cedar.
16:51Outside the window was not the grey wall of the Castillo estate, but a white terrace overlooking the sea.
17:01You were unconscious for seven days.
17:04My throat hurt.
17:06Where is Renard?
17:07The second I asked, I regretted it.
17:09There was no mockery in Aslan's eyes.
17:11The Castillo Don took his mistress to Miami.
17:14He thinks you were just locked up.
17:17My chest didn't hurt the way I expected it to.
17:20Maybe once pain goes far enough, numbness is all that remains.
17:27He wore a dark grey suit and carried an ebony cane.
17:30At the top of the cane was the Visconti crest, a rose and a dagger.
17:35Don.
17:38Soraya.
17:39Who are you?
17:42Vittorio Viscani, your grandfather.
17:44My mother had never told me she came from one of the oldest mafia families in Italy.
17:49She only said she had once been raised by a wealthy family, then left and never went back.
17:54Your mother was not an adopted daughter.
17:56She was the true eldest daughter of the Velasti family.
18:01Vittorio told me that during an internal war years ago, the family consigliere betrayed them, and rival families hunted the
18:07bloodline.
18:08To protect my mother, she was sent out of Sicily under a false identity.
18:12Before she died, she left behind a sample of my blood and half of a family ring.
18:16Vittorio had searched for me four years, until I made that phone call.
18:20You are not Castillo's discarded wife.
18:25You are the only heir of the Visconti family.
18:30From this day on, until the formal coronation, every capo, maid member, and soldier will address you as Donna in
18:37answer to your orders.
18:37I looked at the ring.
18:39The red looked like blood.
18:41It also looked like the first rose to wake in spring.
18:44What about my marriage?
18:48Your five-year contract with Renmar Castillo has expired.
18:51The dissolution papers have been filed.
18:53You are free now.
18:55Free.
18:56The word landed inside me sharper than a knife.
18:59Child, what do you want to do?
19:02If this had been before, maybe I would have cried.
19:05Maybe I would have hidden.
19:06Maybe I would have said to let it go.
19:08But I had died once in that interrogation room.
19:11Saraya Castillo died there.
19:13The woman who woke up was Saraya Visconti.
19:18I want the Castillo family to repay the blood debt.
19:21I want Evita, Matteo, and Simon.
19:25Not one of them gets away.
19:27And Renard.
19:31I want him to see with his own eyes that the wife he threw away,
19:34is the Donna he can never reach again.
19:38Vittorio did not hand me everything at once.
19:40A mafia family does not bow because of blood alone.
19:43Blood is the ticket.
19:45Power must be taken.
19:46On the eighth day after I woke in the hospital bed,
19:48I pulled out the four and told Islund to bring me the ledgers for South Harbor.
19:52The underground hospitals, the casinos, the weapons warehouses, and the council.
19:59Miss Visconti, your body is still too weak.
20:02I almost died on an operating table.
20:05I didn't survive just to lie here while others avenge me.
20:08That night, I signed three orders.
20:13First, freeze every account under the names of Evita, Matteo, and Simon
20:18that had ever been cleaned through Castillo channels.
20:22Yes.
20:23Second, recall every Visconti associate embedded inside the Castillo underground clinic.
20:28From now on, they answer to me.
20:31Vittorio's eyes sharpened with approval.
20:34Third, cut off the medical route at South Harbor Pier 3.
20:37Without my signature, not one wounded Castillo soldier will enter a Vizalvi hospital.
20:44Yes, Donna.
20:45From that moment on, I was not the pitiful woman they had rescued.
20:48I was the one beginning the reckoning.
20:51Vittorio smiled.
20:52There was pride in that smile,
20:54and the coldness of a mafia dome.
20:56Good.
20:58The tide crashed against the rocks.
21:00The Castillo family was unaware that I had personally reopened their first wound.
21:06One month later, in a Miami hotel suite,
21:09Renard had just sat up in bed when a blood-soaked man was thrown through the doorway.
21:13Renard!
21:13The man on the floor was Matteo.
21:21Don't.
21:23Save me.
21:26Inside were two documents.
21:28One was proof of marriage dissolution.
21:30The other was a black invitation signed by Saraya.
21:34On it was only one sentence.
21:36The debt the Castillo family owes will now be collected by the Visconti family.
21:44At last he remembered.
21:46On their wedding night five years ago, he had made Saraya sign that contract.
21:51Automatic dissolution after five years.
21:53The date was one month ago.
21:55The same day he sent Ivita to Saraya for the 100th reconstruction.
22:07The Castillo family had ruled New York's underworld for years, but compared with a true old-blood mafia family, they
22:14were still newcomers.
22:15The Viscontis controlled East Coast ports, underground hospitals, art laundering routes, arms transfer warehouses, and three judges they had helped
22:24put on the bench.
22:25More importantly, the Viscontis had been silent for ten years.
22:29Once they resurfaced, they would not come only to retrieve a woman.
22:32They would come for blood.
22:37Don, we have a problem.
22:39South Harbor Pier 3 has been sealed.
22:42The casino ledgers were submitted to federal investigators.
22:45Two Kappas have gone missing at the same time.
22:50Who did it?
22:54Visconti.
22:55Ivita's face shifted.
22:57Revner, don't bother with her.
22:59She's just jealous of me.
23:03Shut up.
23:04It was the first time he had ever shouted at her like that.
23:12It was Miss Ivita!
23:15She told me to scare your wife in the interrogation room!
23:19She also told me to pay Simon to plant the glar!
23:23Ivita went white.
23:25You're lying!
23:27She said that Don didn't care about his wife.
23:30She said once your wife was ruined, she would become the Donna!
23:39You touched my wife?
23:44She isn't your wife anymore.
23:46That sentence hit Renard in the chest like a blade.
23:49Yes, she wasn't.
23:50He had lost her himself.
23:52Renard looked down at the termination document and realized for the first time that paper could be like a knife.
23:57Completely cutting a person out of his world.
24:00The Visconti meeting hall was built by the sea.
24:03The consigliere, the capos, the underboss, representatives of the made men.
24:07Most of them were older than me.
24:09Most had questioned me.
24:10Why should a girl who had disappeared for years inherit Visconti?
24:13The Visconti rules were old and hard.
24:15The don't held power.
24:17The consigliere guarded law.
24:18The underboss commanded the men.
24:20The capos controlled territory.
24:21Made men swore in blood.
24:23Soldiers obeyed with their lives.
24:24Anyone who wanted the seat at the end of the table had to prove she could protect the family's blood,
24:29money, and secrets.
24:30I knew they were waiting for me to cry to retreat.
24:33To lower my head the way I had for the past five years.
24:35But they didn't know Renard had taught me one thing with his own hands.
24:38Weakness is not a virtue in the mafia world.
24:41It is an invitation for someone to slit your throat.
24:43Before the meeting began, Salvatore, the North District capo, spoke.
24:47Don, I respect your bloodline decision.
24:51But a family is not a fairy tale.
24:53Can a woman humiliated by Castillo for five years really sit in that chair?
24:59The hall went still.
25:00Behind me, Aslan's hand moved to his gun.
25:05Let him finish.
25:08I have finished.
25:12Then it's my turn.
25:17Salvatore, three years ago, the bars in your district laundered money through the Castillo family.
25:23You shorted the family 1.7 million.
25:29Last year, you sold the movements of two maid members to the rival Draco family.
25:35They died at the docks.
25:36You told my grandfather it was an accidental shootout.
25:41You asked whether I can sit in this chair.
25:43I stood, my ruby-ringed hand pressed against the table.
25:46Before I sit, I clean the blood off it.
25:55You have no right to judge me!
25:59Of course I do.
26:01Because from today forward, the Viscosi Underground Hospitals, Port Medical Routes, Family Ledgers, and Soldier Deployment Orders all require my
26:11signature.
26:12Those who betray the family repay with blood.
26:17No one questioned me again.
26:23Saraya.
26:23I didn't take it immediately.
26:25I looked down both sides of the table.
26:27I know many of you don't accept me.
26:30That's fine.
26:32In the next three days, I will take back South Harbor, cut off Castillo's weapons route, and buy the debt
26:38on two of their casinos.
26:42Anyone who chooses loyalty may sit and drink.
26:46Anyone who chooses betrayal, the door is there.
26:48No one moved.
26:49I took the staff.
26:51From that moment on, the Visconti family began to answer not only to an old doan.
26:56They had accepted the woman who would soon be crowned Donna.
27:00When Renard found the estate, I was at the private hospital for a checkup.
27:05He carried no gun.
27:07His suit was wrinkled.
27:08The Castillo Doan, always so untouchable, looked for the first time like a stray dog thrown out in the rain.
27:14I need to see her.
27:19The Donna is resting.
27:22Donna.
27:23The title struck him like a slap and woke every fear that had come too late.
27:27I sat in bed and spoke calmly.
27:29Let him in.
27:33He saw the bandages on my wrists, the bruises still fading along my neck, and the wedding ring I had
27:38removed and left on the bedside table.
27:42Soraya.
27:44What business does the Castillo Doan have on Visconti ground?
27:49Don't call me that.
27:51What should I call you then, ex-husband?
27:56I didn't know Evita had done those things.
27:58I thought they were only going to scare you.
28:00I never meant for them to actually hurt you.
28:02I laughed.
28:04Remard, you always do this.
28:08You give orders and never look back at the consequences.
28:11You said not touching me was being responsible, then let the whole family know you didn't touch me.
28:17You said you'd come home after you were done playing, but you sent woman after woman to my operating table.
28:23You said you gave me dignity, but you gave your little mistress the passenger seat and made me sit in
28:28the back.
28:28You said they were only going to scare me, but if that interrogation room door had opened one minute later,
28:35my life would have been destroyed.
28:41I'm sorry.
28:42Five years ago, I would have given anything for him to lower his eyes and look at me once.
28:47Now that he was on his knees, I only felt nothing.
28:49Renard, I've loved you since I was 12.
28:53On the day I married you, I truly thought I had been given the whole world.
28:57But you spent five years teaching me I was only the cheapest piece on your family's chessboard.
29:02Now the piece has left the board, and you're asking if she can come back?
29:07I love you.
29:08Love that comes too late is light as ash.
29:12Your love can't save the woman who already died once.
29:15And it can't buy me back.
29:17From now on, you can kneel.
29:18You can cry, you can cut your heart out and show it to me.
29:23But I will not turn back.
29:26Renard, there is only debt between us.
29:29No future.
29:36Donna South Harbor has been taken back.
29:38Castillo's under mass is requesting negotiations.
29:41Tell them the meeting will be held in the family hall.
29:44Renard's head snapped up.
29:46You're declaring war on Castillo?
29:48No.
29:49I'm collecting a debt.
29:53Soraya, the Castillo family is not a toy.
29:56Once the council gets involved, people will die.
30:00People already almost died?
30:02I lifted my bandaged wrist.
30:04You just didn't care when the person was me.
30:06Renard had no answer.
30:08For five years, he had seen me in white coats.
30:10Banquet gowns and silent seats at his side.
30:13He had never seen me as an enemy across the table.
30:15Now he finally had to.
30:17What do you want from me?
30:19Truth.
30:20Territory.
30:20Names.
30:21And punishment.
30:22And if I give them?
30:23Then Castillo bleeds less.
30:25And if I refuse?
30:27Aslan looked at him with a cold smile.
30:29Then Castillo bleeds first.
30:32Escort Mr. Castillo out.
30:37This time, he was the one being dismissed.
30:41When Ivita was dragged into the interrogation room, none of her former sweetness remained.
30:45Her dress was wrinkled.
30:47Her makeup had run from crying.
30:48On her wrist was still the pink diamond bracelet Renard had given her.
30:51I sat behind the glass in the head seat.
30:54This time, I was not the one being judged.
30:57She was.
31:01First, her payment records to Simon.
31:04Second, the call recordings between her and Mattelio.
31:08Third, surveillance showing her using Reynolds' phone and intercepting the clinic's emergency call.
31:12Fourth, the order she gave to lower the cold room temperature below freezing.
31:17So what?
31:18She didn't deserve to be the Dawn's wife!
31:20I said calmly.
31:21And you did?
31:28Ivita sobbed and crawled toward him.
31:30Renard.
31:31Save me.
31:33You said you would marry me.
31:37You said I looked like your sister.
31:40You said I was the cleanest.
31:43Who told you about my sister?
31:47Aslan threw the final file onto the table.
31:49It was a plastic surgery record.
31:51Ivita Bellan's face waiting altered according to an old photo of your dead sister.
31:56From the very beginning, she had come prepared.
31:59She was not a coincidence.
32:01She was a pawn sent to Renard by the rival Draco family.
32:06Renard's hand loosened inch by inch.
32:08At last he understood what kind of joke he had been cherishing.
32:15Saria.
32:16I was wrong.
32:18Let me go.
32:20I just loved him too much.
32:23Love?
32:24You put an innocent woman in an interrogation chair, stole a distress call, bought a doctor,
32:29bribed a soldier, and tried to climb him over another woman's body.
32:33That isn't love.
32:35That's filth.
32:37Her face turned white.
32:38By family law, she is an associate of a rival family who participated in the attempted murder
32:44of the Viziski heir.
32:46Strip all status.
32:47Freeze every account.
32:48Remove Castillo protection.
32:50Deliver her to the council for interrogation on Draco roots.
32:53Her name goes on the blacklist.
32:54From New York to Sicily, no casino, underground clinic, club, or auction house will admit her.
33:01She used her face to open doors.
33:03From today on, every one of those doors is closed.
33:06The lights in the interrogation room were painfully white.
33:09Ivita finally understood that losing a man's favor was not the frightening part.
33:12The frightening part was losing her pass into the family world.
33:15In the mafia world, being rejected by every family is the same as being buried alive while
33:20still breathing.
33:26Renard did not move.
33:28He only looked at me, as if he had finally realized I was no longer the wife who would
33:32turn red-eyed over one word from him.
33:34I stood and left.
33:38Every cut she gave me, I had returned.
33:41An eye for an eye that's the law of the mafia world.
33:4517 Castillo representatives came to the family meeting.
33:58Dona.
34:04Begin.
34:05South Harbor Pier 3, to casinos.
34:08Three weapons routes.
34:09For laundering accounts.
34:11Every one of them was a lifeline for the Castillo family.
34:14For the past five years, they had used my father's debt to force me to lower my head.
34:18They had used the marriage alliance to occupy old Viscondi resources.
34:22Now I was taking them back one by one.
34:27Donna Castillo is willing to compensate you.
34:32Compensate me?
34:33Your Don treated my body, my reputation, and my marriage as things that could be traded.
34:38Now you want to solve it with money?
34:39What do you want?
34:42First, the Castillo family surrenders control of South Harbor.
34:46Second, all underground medical rights return to Visconti.
34:51Third, Simon Klein will be handed over to Visconti Judgment.
34:58Fourth, Renard Castillo steps down as Don and surrenders the family ring.
35:02Fifth, he will personally acknowledge the blood debt Castillo owes the Visconti heir.
35:08Sixth, Castillo may not use alliance, debt, or any old contract to demand that I fulfill any duty as a
35:15wife.
35:16Seventh, Renard himself may not set foot in my estate, hospital, harbor, or any territory under Visconti protection.
35:24The hall erupted.
35:30Then we go to war.
35:34Visconti is ready.
35:36Across the table, Renard stayed silent for a long time.
35:43Dawn!
35:45I owe her.
35:46I looked at the ring being pushed to the center of the table.
35:49Once, I had wanted so desperately to be the mistress of that ring.
35:52Now it lay in front of me, and I found it dirty.
35:55It is not you who owes me.
35:58It is the Castillo family that owes Visconti.
36:02After Regnard loses his position,
36:05by family law, he will be exiled to the old mines in Sicily.
36:10Without orders, he may not return to New York.
36:13Renard looked at me.
36:14Will that satisfy you?
36:18Not enough.
36:21It was not a compensation agreement.
36:23It was an exile order.
36:26You will be sent to the old mines in Sicily.
36:28No soldiers.
36:29No underboss.
36:31No conciliary.
36:32No women to keep you warm.
36:33All private assets under your name
36:35will first be used
36:36to compensate the underground clinic doctors you sacrificed
36:38and the families of the dead Visconti made men.
36:41You will stay alive.
36:43Every month, you will submit a confession report to the council.
36:47Every page will carry my name.
36:52I want you alive.
36:54Alive.
36:55To watch me take over for everything you were once proud of.
36:58Alive.
36:59To remember that I am not a home you can return to when you are done playing.
37:03I am the spring you will never reach again.
37:06When Simon was brought into the underground interrogation room,
37:09he still tried to preserve a doctor's dignity.
37:12Soraya, we're colleagues.
37:14Standing behind the glass, I heard that and laughed.
37:16Colleagues, a real doctor does not put gauze into a patient's wound.
37:20A real doctor does not use a scalpel to help the powerful humiliate women.
37:24A real doctor does not push an unconscious person toward destruction.
37:27The consigliere handed me the interrogation results.
37:30Simon admitted he had taken money from Evita and from the Draco family as well.
37:35His original task was to trigger a full conflict between Castillo Vislani
37:38so the Dracos could take South Harbor in the chaos.
37:41He thought I was the easiest pawn to sacrifice.
37:44Because everyone knew Renard didn't love his wife.
37:48Revoke his right to practice in every underground hospital.
37:52And then?
37:52Send him to the North District Mines.
37:55They need someone who knows how to close wounds.
38:01He may save others.
38:03No one may save him.
38:04Mateo's trial was simpler.
38:10Donna, I didn't actually touch you!
38:12Evita tricked me!
38:14I'm just a soldier!
38:15I sat in my chair and looked at his mangled knee.
38:18What matters most for a soldier?
38:21Loyalty.
38:22You betrayed your dawn.
38:23You betrayed family law.
38:25You treated a woman's vulnerability as something you could trade for reward.
38:28I was wrong!
38:31When you are wrong, you pay.
38:36Sign it.
38:37Identify Evita, the Draco family in every transaction with Simon.
38:42Destroy the hand he uses to hold a gun.
38:44Remove him from every family protection list.
38:47The night before Renard was exiled, he came to see me one last time.
38:51Rain poured over New York.
38:53He stood outside the Visconti estate, soaked through, holding an old box.
38:57When the soldier came to report, I was reviewing the new South Harbor shipping schedule.
39:01Donna, Mr. Castillo requests to see you.
39:06Let him in.
39:07He walked into the study and placed the box on the desk.
39:10Inside were the things I had left behind at the Castillo estate.
39:13The pink nightdress I had hidden in the deepest part of the closet.
39:16An old diary filled with his name.
39:18And the pink diamond bracelet he should have given me.
39:20I found these in your room.
39:23I had never gone in before.
39:2612, 16, 20.
39:28Every page held the humble, burning love of the girl I used to be.
39:31Renard looked at me today.
39:32He doesn't like pink.
39:33I won't wear pink anymore.
39:35Five years is a long time.
39:37Maybe he'll fall in love with me.
39:39Burn it.
39:40Renard turned pale.
39:41Saraya.
39:42Those things aren't me anymore.
39:44But the sound was broken.
39:46Only now do I understand how long you loved me.
39:49Yes.
39:49I admitted it calmly.
39:51But love is not a lifetime license.
39:54I'll accept exile.
39:55I'll surrender everything.
39:56I only ask you.
39:57Don't erase me completely.
39:59You are still trying to use my memories as your escape route.
40:03Listen carefully.
40:05I will not wait for you.
40:06I will not forgive you.
40:07I will not start over with you.
40:09All the pain you suffer for the rest of your life has nothing to do with me.
40:13Once he stood while I looked up.
40:14Now he knelt while I looked down.
40:16Fate was a cold circle.
40:18Renard, the worst pain is not losing me.
40:20It is realizing that what you threw away was worth more than everything you still possess.
40:30Donna, the Draco Consulieta, has arrived.
40:37Surya, one last question.
40:39If I had loved you from the beginning, would we have different?
40:52The old diary lay open on the desk.
40:55The ink on one page had blurred from age, or maybe from the tears of the girl who wrote it.
41:00But that girl was gone.
41:04Before the door closed, I heard Renard say hoarsely,
41:07I finally came home, but there is no home left.
41:10This belated realization was not enough to bring anything back.
41:14On the day Vittorio officially stepped down, the Visconti estate was covered in white roses.
41:19It was not a wedding.
41:20It was a coronation.
41:21Every capo, the consigliere, the underboss, and representatives of the made men were present.
41:26In the center of the hall, I wore a black gown with a silver-gray cloak over my shoulders.
41:30The ruby ring under the lights looked like a drop of frozen blood.
41:36Surya Visconti.
41:37His voice was aged, but it carried through the hall.
41:40From this day forward, you are the Donna of Visconti family.
41:47Donna.
41:48In that moment, I did not want to cry.
41:50I only remembered our wedding night five years ago,
41:52when Renard pushed the marriage contract toward me and said all I had to do was quietly be his wife.
41:57But I was no one's appendage.
41:59I was not a shadow left cold for five years.
42:01Not a joke used to make a mistress feel cherished.
42:04Not a discarded wife strapped to an interrogation chair.
42:07I was Surya Visconti, the Donna, the new owner of this underground kingdom.
42:11After the coronation, the Draco family sent a peace proposal.
42:15The remaining Castillo men sent a loyalty list.
42:17I did not sign immediately.
42:19I told Eslund to place every name on the desk.
42:22Loyalty is not written on paper.
42:24Three months of observation.
42:25Anyone who has betrayed once never enters the core again.
42:31Yes, Donna.
42:33Late that night, I walked onto the terrace.
42:36The sea wind lifted the hem of my dress.
42:38Aslan stood half a step behind me.
42:40Castillo has been put on the ship.
42:42Where to?
42:43The old mines in Sicily.
42:44No sea casino.
42:45No women.
42:46No staff.
42:47Only his father's abandoned house and a small church.
42:50Aslan looked at me.
42:51You're not going to see him off.
42:54What does his exile have to do with me?
42:57Are you free tomorrow?
42:59For what?
43:00He placed a ticket in my palm.
43:02An amusement park ticket.
43:04A long time ago, I begged Renard to go with me.
43:07He said places like that were childish and that business partners would laugh at him.
43:11Later, he took Iveta.
43:12He even bought her a pink headband.
43:15Aslan's tone was calm.
43:16Even a Donna can take a day off.
43:18I looked at the ticket and suddenly smiled.
43:21Alright.
43:22A Visconti soldier stepped onto the terrace and lowered his head.
43:25Donna, the Castillo escort is requesting permission to deliver Mr. Castillo's final message before the ship leaves.
43:31I did not take the sealed phone he offered.
43:33I only looked toward the dark line of the harbor.
43:36Where a man who once made the entire city wait for him was now waiting for my answer.
43:41Tell the escort the Viscimony estate is not a chapel for late confessions.
43:46Aslan's eyes moved to the amusement park ticket still resting in my palm.
43:49He may keep asking.
43:50Then let him learn what waiting feels like.
43:53The soldier bowed and withdrew.
43:54This time, no one chased a departing car.
43:57No one tore a city apart.
43:58And no one shouted my name through the rain.
44:01The only sound left was the sea.
44:03Calm and merciless.
44:04A distant port whistle sounds.
44:06Summer banished to the ruins of the old spring.
44:09While I am finally about to step into my own new spring.
44:13The day Renard left New York, Soraya did not go to the dock.
44:16Renard stood on the ship for a long time, staring in the direction of the Visconti estate.
44:21The wind cut through his coat.
44:22No one offered him another one.
44:23For years, men had rushed to open doors.
44:26Light cigars, pour wine, and lower their heads before he even spoke.
44:30Now to Castillo escorts stood behind him only because the exile order required witnesses.
44:34Mr. Castillo, the ship is leaving.
44:36Mr. Castillo, not Doan.
44:38The title scraped across his bones.
44:40Renard looked at the dock.
44:42The new Castillo Doan had not come either.
44:44His underboss, the man who had once followed him through gunfire, now wore the snake crest ring.
44:49Did she say anything?
44:52The Donna said your exile has nothing to do with her.
44:55Renard's mouth moved, but no sound came out.
44:58At the end of the dock, an old priest from the small Sicilian church boarded the ship with a sealed
45:03folder.
45:03Monthly confession forms.
45:05The council wants the first page before arrival.
45:08Renard took the folder.
45:09At the top of every page was Soraya's name.
45:11He remembered her standing in the snow outside his car while he promised fireworks to another woman.
45:16He remembered saying the passenger seat belonged to Ivita.
45:19He remembered ordering Soraya to apologize before he even looked at the evidence.
45:23Departure in five minutes!
45:28Call Viznati!
45:29Tell her I'll sign everything again!
45:32Tell her I only want one minute!
45:33The escort's face did not change.
45:35The Visconti estate blocks all calls from this dock.
45:38The ship horn sounded.
45:40For the first time, Renard Castillo was the one left behind, watching a world close its doors without asking whether
45:46he was ready.
45:49Sicily welcomed Renard with rain.
45:51The old mines were nothing like New York.
45:53No casino lights.
45:54No cigar lounge.
45:55No armored cars waiting outside.
45:57Only wet stone, rusted gates, and a small church whose bell sounded like a judgment.
46:03This is your house.
46:05Renard looked at the cracked walls and the narrow bed.
46:07Council rules.
46:09No private staff.
46:10No personal guards.
46:12No visitors without permission.
46:13Confession reports are due every month.
46:16Leave.
46:17You don't give orders here, Mr. Castillo.
46:20After the door closed, Renard opened the old box he had been allowed to keep.
46:24Inside was the diary Soraya had told him to burn.
46:27He had not burned it.
46:28He opened the first page.
46:29I saw Renard today.
46:31He looked like a king, but he spoke for me when no one else did.
46:35He doesn't like pink.
46:37I will stop wearing pink.
46:38Maybe one day he will look at me without laughing.
46:41Another page.
46:42Today he sent another woman to my clinic.
46:44I wanted to ask if he knew my hands shook after every surgery, but he called it payment and left.
46:49Renard pressed the diary to his chest, breathing like a man with a bullet lodged inside him.
46:54The old priest came in without knocking.
46:56Your first confession.
46:58What do I write?
47:01Start with the first wound.
47:04Renard picked up the pen.
47:05For a long time, he could only write one sentence.
47:08I made her sit in the back seat.
47:09Outside, rain hit the church window like fingers tapping on a coffin lid.
47:15A week after Renard reached Sicily, the first confession report arrived at the Visconti estate.
47:23Donna.
47:24From the old mines.
47:25I didn't open it immediately.
47:27Is it required by council procedure?
47:29Yes.
47:30Then archive a copy and send one to the council.
47:32Aslan stood beside me, watching the envelope.
47:35There is a personal letter inside.
47:39Remove it.
47:41Aslan opened the envelope.
47:42A folded page fell out.
47:44Renard's handwriting was rough, as if written by someone who had forgotten how to be steady.
47:48Soraya, I read the diary.
47:50I finally know what pink meant to you.
47:52I finally know how many times you waited outside my study.
47:54I finally know I made you into a ghost while you were still alive.
47:59Do you want me to continue?
48:01I reached for the next document.
48:03No.
48:03He burned the personal letter in the silver tray by the window.
48:06The flame swallowed the paper slowly.
48:08For a moment, I remembered the girl who once would have kept even a torn corner of Renard's writing like
48:13a treasure.
48:14That girl had been easier to hurt because she confused crumbs with love.
48:17He will probably send another one.
48:19Then burn another one.
48:20Aslan's eyes softened almost imperceptibly.
48:22And if one day he stops?
48:24I finally looked up.
48:25Then the world will be quieter.
48:27Outside the window, spring sunlight fell across the desk.
48:30It touched the red Visconti ring, not the old wedding scar.
48:33On the second week of exile, a Draco messenger came to the old church.
48:37Renard was sitting in the last pew, writing the second confession report.
48:41I told her not touching her was responsibility.
48:43In truth, it was cowardice dressed as pride.
48:45The church door opened behind him.
48:47Renard Castillo.
48:48Renard didn't turn.
48:50I'm not done anymore.
48:51That is exactly why we came.
48:52The messenger placed a sealed envelope on the pew.
48:55Vizalti humiliated you.
48:56Sereva took your ports, your ring, your family seed.
48:59Help us open one route through South Harbor.
49:01And we can put you back in New York.
49:05Renard's hand stilled.
49:06For one second, the old instinct moved in him.
49:09Power, return, revenge.
49:10The things he had once thought mattered most.
49:12Then he remembered Saraya in the interrogation chair.
49:15He remembered her saying,
49:16You give orders and never look back at the consequences.
49:22You would choose exile for a woman who won't even read your letters?
49:26No.
49:27He watched the paper curl black.
49:29I choose not to commit one more crime in her name.
49:33Before he could move, a shot cracked through the church window.
49:36The mine guard kicked the door open with two Visconti soldiers behind him.
49:39Donna's order.
49:40Draco contact is to be captured alive.
49:44She knew?
49:46The Donna knows everything that happens on Visconti ground.
49:49For a second, something like hope flashed in Renard's eyes.
49:52The guard crushed it immediately.
49:53She also said your refusal changes nothing.
49:56Renard lowered his head.
49:57The confession page in front of him was wet from rain blown through the broken window.
50:01He picked up the pen and continued writing.
50:04The captured Draco messenger brought more than a knife.
50:06He brought root maps, bribery lists, and the names of three Castillo men who had been feeding Draco information since
50:12before Ivita entered Renard.
50:13At the Visconti hearing, the Draco consigliere sat with his hands chained to the table.
50:18Donna, this can be negotiated.
50:20I looked at the evidence Eslan placed before me.
50:23You sent Ivita to Renard.
50:25A woman chose her own path.
50:27You gave Simon money.
50:28Doctors are greedy everywhere.
50:30You tried to use my body as the battlefield for two families.
50:33The hall went silent.
50:35I opened Renard's second confession report and placed it beside the Draco file.
50:39Even Renard Castillo admits Castillo law became a weapon in the hands of outsiders because he was too arrogant to
50:45look at the truth.
50:46Aslan read the relevant line aloud.
50:48I gave orders without seeing her.
50:50That blindness allowed every traitor near me to choose her as the sacrifice.
50:55The council members exchanged looks.
50:57Draco consigliere's expression finally cracked.
51:00You would use his confession against his own family?
51:04I smiled faintly.
51:05He writes my name on every page.
51:07I may as well make it useful.
51:09Then I sign the final transfer.
51:10South Harbor is no longer disputed territory.
51:13Visowni controls the medical route, weapons route, casino ledger route, and emergency dock authority.
51:19And Draco?
51:20They pay for the attempted murder of the Virsky heir.
51:23The consigliere's face turned gray.
51:26I closed the file.
51:27Tell Cicely the old spring is awake.
51:31Evada's fate reached Cicely before she did.
51:33She gave up three Draco roots in exchange for her life, but every family blacklisted her.
51:38No casino would accept her.
51:40No doctor would touch her face.
51:42No man dared to protect her in public.
51:44At dusk, she stood outside the Mafia council building in a wrinkled coat, trying to stop a former patron.
51:49You know me.
51:52You said I was beautiful.
51:55You said if Renmick ever got tired of me, you would take me in.
52:00The man stepped back as if she carried disease.
52:02Your name is on Vizocci Blacklist.
52:05I can give you information.
52:07You already gave everything worth buying.
52:09He left without looking back.
52:10A council guard shoved her away from the doors.
52:13No entry.
52:14Evada stumbled down the stone steps.
52:17Rain had started again.
52:19Her makeup ran into black streaks, and the pink diamond bracelet on her wrist looked cheap under the gray sky.
52:24She suddenly saw Renard across the road.
52:26He was being escorted back toward the old mines, his left leg stiff from an infected injury that never healed
52:32properly.
52:33Evada rushed forward.
52:34Renmack!
52:35Help me!
52:36Tell them I was yours!
52:38Renard stopped.
52:39For a moment, Evada thought he might still soften.
52:42Then he looked at her the way one looks at a knife after it has already cut to deep.
52:47You were never mine.
52:49Evada screamed.
52:50You said I was clean!
52:52Renard's eyes were empty.
52:53I was the dirty one.
52:55The guards pulled him away.
52:56Evada collapsed on the wet stones, finally understanding that losing a man's favor was not punishment.
53:01Being shut out of every door in the mafia world is the cruelest punishment.
53:06The day Renard left New York, I did not go to the dock.
53:09I was told he stood on the ship for a long time, staring in the direction of the Viscani estate.
53:15I was told his left leg, infected from an old injury Mateo exposed, never fully healed.
53:21From then on, whenever it rained, the pain would be bad enough that he could barely stand straight.
53:25I was told that when the new Castillo Dome was sworn in,
53:28Renard was forced to sit in the last seat and watch his own underboss put on the snake crest ring.
53:33The most satisfying part was that he had to witness the ceremony himself.
53:37He once made every soldier watch me sit in the back seat.
53:40Now every capo watched him be driven from the main seat.
53:43He could not resist.
53:44Because the exile order carried his own signature, other people told me these things.
53:49I never asked.
53:50And I, on the second day after my coronation, went to the amusement park.
53:54I wore a pink dress.
53:56A pale pink, like a flower finally waking in an old spring.
53:59Aslan stood at the entrance and looked at me for a long time.
54:02It suits you.
54:05Someone once told me pink didn't suit me.
54:08Then he was blind.
54:11The carousel light spun.
54:13Fireworks bloomed across the night sky.
54:15I bought a pink headband and put it on.
54:17It did not feel childish.
54:19It did not feel embarrassing.
54:21It turned out that the dreams I once believed had to be shared with one specific person could be fulfilled
54:25alone.
54:26And alone, they were freer.
54:28My phone buzzed then.
54:29An unknown number sent a photo.
54:31In front of a small church at the Old Mines in Sicily,
54:34Renard sat in a wheelchair, holding a half-burned diary.
54:37I finally read all of it.
54:38I'm sorry.
54:39I read it, then deleted it.
54:41No reply.
54:42Aslan asked.
54:43Not going to look again.
54:46It doesn't matter.
54:49When the fireworks faded, the amusement park grew softer.
54:52Children ran past with glowing balloons.
54:55Couples took pictures under the lights.
54:57Somewhere, a carousel song played on.
54:59Bright and simple.
55:00For a moment, I stood there and let the night settle around me.
55:04No one was ordering me into the back seat.
55:06No one was asking me to fix another woman for him.
55:09No one was using my silence as proof that I could be hurt again.
55:12A man in the distance recognized me and lowered his head.
55:15Donna.
55:16I turned and saw my own shadow in the night.
55:18No longer thin.
55:19No longer waiting.
55:21No longer belonging to anyone's passenger seat, marriage bed, estate, or old spring.
55:26Aslan walked beside me, keeping half a step of distance like always.
55:30Where to now?
55:31I looked at the exit of the amusement park, then at the city beyond it.
55:35South Harbor was mine.
55:36The underground clinics were mine.
55:38The ledgers, the roots, the family seat.
55:40The name that had once been buried under Castio's shame all of it had returned to my hand.
55:45Home.
55:46The estate?
55:46I smiled.
55:48No, wherever I choose to stand.
55:50The night wind lifted the hem of my pink dress.
55:53For years, I had mistaken waiting for loyalty, humiliation for patience, and crumbs for love.
55:58Now the old spring slept behind me.
56:00The new spring did not wait.
56:01I am Soraya Visconti.
56:03I once loved Adon.
56:05Then I became my own Donna.
56:06Who from San Juana?
56:07Huh?
56:08Yeah.
56:10He himself lost.
56:10Our family.ysb
56:10Woo? We are here.
56:10are here.
