01:03Anyone who entered this place was either a maid member or someone the family had chosen to let live.
01:09And I was Revena'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, but last night I got too eager and ruined
01:27his fun.
01:30You can fix that, right?
01:36I 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 Renmart 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 Renaud 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.
02:26After 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 Renaud.
03:18By the time the surgery was over, Ivita still hadn't woken up.
03:22I peeled off my blood-stained gloves,
03:24sealed the medical record in a file,
03:26and called a number I hadn't.
03:27He dialed in a long time.
03:32Soroya.
03:35Grandfather, I received the flight details.
03:37Thank you.
03:38If you're willing to come home,
03:40the 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,
03:55he never cared who I spoke to,
03:57where I went,
03:57or 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,
04:25because Renaud 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,
04:34aside from the wedding car,
04:36I had never ridden in Renaud's car.
04:39Renaud 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,
04:48she'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,
05:05I wore a pink nightdress and sat on the edge of the bed waiting for him.
05:13Soraya, 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.
05:23Mutual 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 twelve, 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, I'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,
06:51I 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.
07:11He 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.
08:06Can we do it in your marriage bed?
08:08It was deleted almost immediately.
08:11Oh my God.
08:11Mrs. Castillo.
08:12I 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.
08:26It 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.
08:39Five minutes later, he changed his.
08:41To a cartoon avatar that matched Ivita'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 years 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.
09:32Soraya, did you perform Evita's reconstruction?
09:36Yes.
09:38Something happened.
09:39She's hemorrhaging, and she says...
09:41She says you did it on purpose.
09:49It hurts, Renwad.
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!
10:03Soraya, apologize.
10:08If it was my fault, I need to examine her first.
10:11No!
10:12She'll hurt me again!
10:17Renard, does this mean I can't be with you anymore?
10:20Does 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.
10:40And I exposed him in front of 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.
10:56Inside the wound.
10:57Mrs. 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.
11:14I thought Mrs. Castillo was generous, but she hates me.
11:20Starting today, Soraya is no longer the chief surgeon of the underground clinic.
11:26Revner, you won't even investigate?
11:30I gave you dignity.
11:32You 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.
12:42I 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,
13:57Renard's body visibly stiffened.
13:59Five years.
14:00He had personally left me untouched
14:02until I became the Castillo family's greatest joke.
14:05Now he finally remembered
14:06I 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...
14:28Renard's gaze turned ruthless in an instant.
14:31He looked at Simon.
14:32Continue.
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.
14:42Normally, 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 Ivita,
15:16never looking back at me.
15:18Renard, I'm so scared.
15:20It will be over soon.
15:22Those words were not for me.
15:27Don't blame me, Mrs. Castillo.
15:29A soldier follows orders.
15:34Simon, you know this is illegal!
15:36In this room, Leguillet depends on owns the building.
15:44One, two, three.
15:59Who touched her?
16:01Every soldier froze.
16:02Before Mateo could react, the man shot him through the knee.
16:15He 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 gray wall of the Castillo estate,
16:55but 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 gray 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.
17:45My 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 Aslan to bring me the ledgers for South Harbor.
19:52The underground hospitals, the casinos, the weapons warehouses, and the council.
19:58Miss 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.
20:29From now on, they answer to me.
20:31Vittorio's eyes sharpened with approval.
20:33Third, 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, and 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.
21:31The 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.
22:01Where is she?
22:02The Visconti family.
22:03The Visconti family took her.
22:07The Castillo family had ruled New York's underworld for years,
22:10but compared with a true old-blood mafia family,
22:13they were still newcomers.
22:15The Visconti's controlled East Coast ports,
22:18underground hospitals,
22:19art laundering routes,
22:20arms transfer warehouses,
22:22and three judges they had helped put on the bench.
22:25More importantly,
22:26the Visconti's had been silent for 10 years.
22:29Once they resurfaced,
22:30they 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?
22:53The Visconti.
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.
23:18She also told me to pay Simon to plant the glar!
23:23Ivita went white.
23:25You're lying!
23:27She said the Don didn't care about his wife.
23:30She said once your wife was ruined,
23:33she 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
23:54and 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,
24:06representatives 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 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
24:26had 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.
24:50But 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,
25:19the bars in your district laundered money through the Castillo family.
25:23You shorted the family 1.7 million.
25:29Last year,
25:31you 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.
25:47Before 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,
26:02the Viscosi underground hospitals,
26:05port medical routes,
26:07family ledgers,
26:08and soldier deployment orders all require my signature.
26:12Those who betray the family
26:14repay 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.
26:28I know many of you don't accept me.
26:30That's fine.
26:32In the next three days,
26:33I will take back South Harbor,
26:35cut off Castillo's weapons route,
26:37and buy the debt on two of their casinos.
26:42Anyone who chooses loyalty
26:44may sit and drink.
26:46Anyone who chooses betrayal,
26:47the door is there.
26:48No one moved.
26:49I took the staff.
26:51From that moment on,
26:52the Visconti family began to answer
26:54not only to an old doan.
26:56They had accepted the woman
26:57who would soon be crowned Donna.
27:00When Renard found the estate,
27:01I was at the private hospital for a checkup.
27:05He carried no gun.
27:07His suit was wrinkled.
27:08The Castillo doan,
27:10always so untouchable,
27:11looked for the first time
27:12like 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
27:25and 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,
27:35the bruises still fading along my neck,
27:37and the wedding ring I had removed
27:38and left on the bedside table.
27:42Soraya.
27:44What business does the Castillo doan
27:46have on Visconti ground?
27:49Don't call me that.
27:51What should I call you then?
27:52Ex-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.
28:03I laughed.
28:04Remard, you always do this.
28:08You give orders
28:09and never look back at the consequences.
28:11You said not touching me
28:13was being responsible,
28:14then let the whole family know
28:16you didn't touch me.
28:17You said you'd come home
28:19after you were done playing,
28:20but you sent woman after woman
28:21to my operating table.
28:23You said you gave me dignity,
28:25but you gave your little mistress
28:26the passenger seat
28:27and made me sit in the back.
28:28You said they were only going to scare me,
28:31but if that interrogation room door
28:33had opened one minute later,
28:35my life would have been destroyed.
28:41I'm sorry.
28:42Five years ago,
28:43I would have given anything for him
28:44to lower his eyes
28:45and look at me once.
28:46Now that he was on his knees,
28:48I only felt nothing.
28:50Renaud,
28:50I've loved you since I was 12.
28:53On the day I married you,
28:55I truly thought I had been given
28:56the whole world,
28:57but you spent five years teaching me
28:59I was only the cheapest piece
29:00on your family's chessboard.
29:02Now the piece has left the board,
29:04and you're asking if she can come back?
29:07I love you.
29:08Love that comes too late
29:09is light as ash.
29:12Your love can't save the woman
29:14who already died once,
29:15and it can't buy me back.
29:17From now on,
29:17you can kneel,
29:18you can cry,
29:20you can cut your heart out
29:21and show it to me.
29:23But I will not turn back.
29:26Renaud,
29:27there is only debt between us.
29:29No future.
29:31No future.
29:35Donna South Harbor
29:37has been taken back.
29:38Castillo's under mass
29:38is requesting negotiations.
29:41Tell them the meeting
29:43will be held in the family hall.
29:44Renaud's head snapped up.
29:46You're declaring war on Castillo?
29:48No.
29:49I'm collecting a debt.
29:53Saraya,
29:54the Castillo family
29:55is not a toy.
29:56Once the council gets involved,
29:58people will die.
30:00People already almost died?
30:02I lifted my bandaged wrist.
30:04You just didn't care
30:05when the person was me.
30:07Renaud had no answer.
30:08For five years,
30:09he had seen me in white coats,
30:10banquet gowns,
30:11and silent seats at his side.
30:13He had never seen me
30:14as an enemy across the table.
30:15Now he finally had two.
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
30:27with a cold smile.
30:29Then Castillo bleeds first.
30:32Escort Mr. Castillo out.
30:37This time,
30:38he was the one being dismissed.
30:41When Ivita was dragged
30:42into the interrogation room,
30:43none of her former sweetness remained.
30:45Her dress was wrinkled.
30:47Her makeup had run from crying.
30:48On her wrist was still
30:49the pink diamond bracelet
30:50Renard had given her.
30:51I sat behind the glass
30:53in the head seat.
30:54This time,
30:55I was not the one being judged.
30:57She was.
31:01First,
31:02her payment records to Simon.
31:04Second,
31:05the call recordings
31:06between her and Mattelio.
31:08Third,
31:08surveillance showing her
31:09using Reynolds' phone
31:10and intercepting
31:11the clinic's emergency call.
31:12Fourth,
31:13the order she gave
31:14to lower the cold room temperature
31:15below freezing.
31:17So what?
31:18She didn't deserve
31:19to be the Don's wife!
31:20I said calmly,
31:21And you did?
31:28Ivita sobbed
31:29and 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
31:48onto the table.
31:49It was a plastic surgery record.
31:51Ivita Bellan's face
31:52waiting altered
31:53according to an old photo
31:55of your dead sister.
31:56From the very beginning,
31:57she had come prepared.
31:59She was not a coincidence.
32:01She was a pawn sent to Renard
32:02by the rival Draco family.
32:06Renard's hand loosened
32:07inch by inch.
32:08At last he understood
32:09what kind of joke
32:10he had been cherishing.
32:15Saraya,
32:16I was wrong.
32:18Let me go.
32:20I just loved him too much.
32:23Love?
32:24You put an innocent woman
32:25in an interrogation chair,
32:27stole a distress call,
32:28bought a doctor,
32:29bribed a soldier,
32:31and tried to climb him
32:32over another woman's body.
32:33That isn't love.
32:35That's filth.
32:36Her face turned white.
32:38By family law,
32:40she is an associate
32:41of a rival family
32:42who participated
32:43in 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
32:51for interrogation
32:52on Draco roots.
32:53Her name goes
32:53on the blacklist.
32:54From New York to Sicily,
32:56no casino,
32:57underground clinic,
32:59club,
32:59or auction house
33:00will admit her.
33:01She used her face
33:02to open doors.
33:03From today on,
33:04every one of those doors
33:05is closed.
33:06The lights in the interrogation room
33:07were painfully white.
33:09Ivita finally understood
33:10that losing a man's favor
33:11was not the frightening part.
33:12The frightening part
33:13was losing her pass
33:14into the family world.
33:15In the mafia world,
33:16being rejected
33:17by every family
33:18is the same
33:18as being buried alive
33:19while still breathing.
33:21No!
33:22I won't go into
33:23the interrogation room!
33:25Revan!
33:25Save me!
33:26Renard did not move.
33:28He only looked at me
33:29as if he had finally realized
33:30I was no longer the wife
33:31who would turn red-eyed
33:32over one word from him.
33:34I stood and left.
33:38Every cut she gave me,
33:39I had returned.
33:41An eye for an eye
33:42that's the law
33:42of the mafia world.
33:4517 Castillo representatives
33:46came to the family meeting.
33:58Donna.
34:04Begin.
34:05South Harbor Pier 3
34:07to casinos.
34:08Three weapons routes
34:09for laundering accounts.
34:11Every one of them
34:12was a lifeline
34:12for the Castillo family.
34:14For the past five years,
34:15they had used my father's debt
34:17to force me to lower my head.
34:18They had used the marriage alliance
34:20to occupy old Viscondi resources.
34:22Now I was taking them back
34:23one by one.
34:26Donna.
34:28Castillo.
34:28Is willing to compensate you.
34:32Compensate me?
34:33Your Don treated my body,
34:35my reputation,
34:35and my marriage
34:36as things that could be traded.
34:37Now you want to solve it
34:38with money?
34:39What do you want?
34:42First,
34:43the Castillo family
34:44surrenders control
34:45of South Harbor.
34:46Second,
34:48all underground medical rights
34:50return to Viscondi.
34:51Third,
34:52Simon Klein
34:53will be handed over
34:54to Viscondi Judgment.
34:58Fourth,
34:59Renard Castillo
35:00steps down as Don
35:00and surrenders the family ring.
35:02Fifth,
35:03he will personally acknowledge
35:04the blood debt
35:05Castillo owes
35:06the Viscondi heir.
35:08Sixth,
35:09Castillo may not use
35:10alliance,
35:11debt,
35:11or any old contract
35:13to demand
35:13that I fulfill
35:14any duty as a wife.
35:15Seventh,
35:16Renard himself
35:17may not set foot
35:17in my estate,
35:18hospital,
35:19harbor,
35:19or any territory
35:20under Viscondi protection.
35:24The hall erupted.
35:28Impossible!
35:30Then we go to war.
35:34Viscondi is ready.
35:35Across the table,
35:37Renard stayed silent
35:38for a long time.
35:43Dawn!
35:45I owe her.
35:46I looked at the ring
35:47being pushed
35:47to the center of the table.
35:49Once,
35:49I had wanted so desperately
35:51to be the mistress
35:52of that ring.
35:52Now it lay in front of me,
35:54and I found it dirty.
35:55It is not you
35:56who owes me.
35:58It is the Castillo family
36:00that owes Viscondi.
36:02After Regnard
36:03loses his position,
36:05by family law,
36:06he will be
36:07exiled to the old mines
36:09in Sicily.
36:10Without orders,
36:11he may not return
36:13to New York.
36:13Renard looked at me.
36:14Will that satisfy you?
36:18Not enough.
36:21It was not
36:22a compensation agreement.
36:23It was an exile order.
36:26You will be sent
36:27to the old mines
36:27in Sicily.
36:28No soldiers.
36:29No underboss.
36:31No conciliary.
36:32No women
36:32to keep you warm.
36:33All private assets
36:34under your name
36:35will first be used
36:36to compensate
36:37the underground clinic doctors
36:38you sacrificed
36:38and the families
36:40of the dead
36:40Viscensi made men.
36:42You will stay alive.
36:44Every month,
36:45you will submit
36:45a confession report
36:46to the council.
36:47Every page
36:48will carry my name.
36:52I want you alive.
36:54Alive.
36:55To watch me take over
36:56for everything
36:56you were once proud of.
36:58Alive to remember
36:59that I am not
37:00a home you can return to
37:01when you are done playing.
37:03I am the spring
37:04you will never reach again.
37:06When Simon was brought
37:07into the underground
37:08interrogation room,
37:09he still tried
37:10to preserve
37:10a doctor's dignity.
37:12Soraya,
37:12we're colleagues.
37:14Standing behind the glass,
37:15I heard that and laughed.
37:16Colleagues,
37:17a real doctor
37:18does not put gauze
37:18into a patient's wound.
37:20A real doctor
37:20does not use a scalpel
37:22to help the powerful
37:22humiliate women.
37:24A real doctor
37:25does not push
37:25an unconscious person
37:26toward destruction.
37:27The consigliere
37:28handed me
37:29the interrogation results.
37:30Simon admitted
37:31he had taken money
37:32from Evita
37:33and from the Draco family
37:34as well.
37:34His original task
37:35was to trigger
37:36a full conflict
37:37between Castillo
37:38and Vislani
37:38so the Dracos
37:40could take South Harbor
37:41in the chaos.
37:42He thought I was
37:42the easiest pawn
37:43to sacrifice
37:44because everyone knew
37:45Renard didn't love
37:46his wife.
37:48Revoke his right
37:49to practice
37:50in every underground
37:51hospital.
37:52And then?
37:53Send him to the
37:54North District
37:54mines.
37:55They need someone
37:56who knows
37:57how to close wounds.
38:01He may save others.
38:03No one may save him.
38:04Matteo's trial
38:05was simpler.
38:10Donna,
38:11I didn't actually
38:11touch you!
38:12Evita tricked me!
38:14I'm just a soldier!
38:15I sat in my chair
38:16and looked at his
38:17mangled knee.
38:18What matters most
38:19for a soldier?
38:21Loyalty.
38:22You betrayed your dawn.
38:24You betrayed family law.
38:25You treated a woman's
38:25vulnerability as something
38:26you could trade for reward.
38:28I was wrong!
38:31When you are wrong,
38:33you pay.
38:36Sign it.
38:37Identify Evita,
38:38the Draco family
38:39in every transaction
38:39with Simon.
38:42Destroy the hand
38:43he uses to hold a gun.
38:44Remove him from
38:45every family protection list.
38:47The night before
38:48Renard was exiled.
38:49He came to see me
38:50one last time.
38:52rain poured over New York.
38:53He stood outside
38:54the Visconti estate,
38:55soaked through,
38:56holding an old box.
38:57When the soldier
38:57came to report,
38:58I was reviewing
38:59the new South Harbor
39:00shipping schedule.
39:01Donna,
39:02Mr. Castillo
39:03requests to see you.
39:06Let him in.
39:07He walked into the study
39:08and placed the box
39:09on the desk.
39:10Inside were the things
39:11I had left behind
39:12at the Castillo estate.
39:13The pink nightdress
39:14I had hidden
39:14in the deepest part
39:15of the closet.
39:16An old diary
39:17filled with his name.
39:18And the pink diamond
39:19bracelet he should have
39:20given me.
39:20I found these
39:21in your room.
39:23I had never gone in before.
39:2612, 16, 20.
39:28Every page held the humble,
39:29burning love
39:30of 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
39:37in love with me.
39:39Burn it.
39:40Renard turned pale.
39:41Saraya.
39:42Those things
39:43aren't me anymore.
39:44But the sound
39:45was broken.
39:46Only now
39:46do I understand
39:47how long
39:48you loved me.
39:49Yes.
39:49I admitted it calmly.
39:51But love
39:51is 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
39:59to use my memories
40:00as 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
40:10for the rest of your life
40:11has nothing to do with me.
40:13Once he stood
40:13while I looked up.
40:14Now he knelt
40:15while I looked down.
40:16Fate was a cold circle.
40:18Renard,
40:18the worst pain
40:19is not losing me.
40:20It is realizing
40:20that what you threw away
40:21was worth more
40:22than everything
40:23you still possess.
40:30Donna,
40:30the Draco Consulieta,
40:31has arrived.
40:37Saria,
40:38one last question.
40:39If I had loved you
40:40from the beginning,
40:41would we have different?
40:44Maybe.
40:48But you didn't.
40:49So there is no if.
40:53The old diary
40:54lay open on the desk.
40:55The ink on one page
40:56had blurred from age,
40:57or maybe from the tears
40:58of the girl who wrote it.
41:00But that girl was gone.
41:04Before the door closed,
41:05I heard Renard say hoarsely,
41:07I finally came home,
41:08but there is no home left.
41:10This belated realization
41:11was not enough
41:12to bring anything back.
41:14On the day Vittorio
41:15officially stepped down,
41:16the Visconti estate
41:17was covered in white roses.
41:19It was not a wedding.
41:20It was a coronation.
41:21Every capo,
41:22the consigliere,
41:23the underboss,
41:24and representatives
41:25of the made men
41:25were present.
41:26In the center of the hall,
41:27I wore a black gown
41:28with a silver-gray cloak
41:29over my shoulders.
41:30The ruby ring under the lights
41:32looked like a drop
41:32of frozen blood.
41:36Serea Visconti.
41:37His voice was aged,
41:39but it carried through the hall.
41:40From this day forward,
41:42you are the Donna
41:43of Visconti family.
41:47Donna.
41:48In that moment,
41:48I did not want to cry.
41:50I only remembered
41:50our wedding night
41:51five years ago,
41:52when Renard pushed
41:53the marriage contract toward me
41:54and said all I had to do
41:56was quietly be his wife.
41:57But I was no one's appendage.
41:59I was not a shadow
42:00left cold for five years.
42:01Not a joke used to make
42:02a mistress feel cherished.
42:04Not a discarded wife
42:05strapped to an interrogation chair.
42:07I was Serea Visconti,
42:08the Donna,
42:09the new owner
42:10of this underground kingdom.
42:11After the coronation,
42:13the Draco family
42:13sent a peace proposal.
42:15The remaining Castillo men
42:16sent a loyalty list.
42:17I did not sign immediately.
42:19I told Eslund
42:20to place every name on the desk.
42:22Loyalty is not written
42:23on paper.
42:24Three months of observation.
42:25Anyone who has betrayed once
42:26never enters the core again.
42:31Yes, Donna.
42:33Late that night,
42:34I walked onto the terrace.
42:36The sea wind lifted
42:37the hem of my dress.
42:38Aslan stood
42:38half a step behind me.
42:40Castillo has been
42:41put 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
42:48abandoned house
42:48and a small church.
42:50Aslan looked at me.
42:51You're not going
42:52to see him off.
42:54What does his exile
42:55have to do with me?
42:57Are you free tomorrow?
42:59For what?
43:00He placed a ticket
43:01in my palm.
43:02An amusement park ticket.
43:04A long time ago,
43:05I begged Renard
43:06to go with me.
43:07He said places
43:08like that were childish
43:09and that business partners
43:10would laugh at him.
43:11Later,
43:11he took Ivita.
43:12He even bought her
43:13a pink headband.
43:15Aslan's tone
43:15was calm.
43:16Even a Donna
43:17can take a day off.
43:18I looked at the ticket
43:19and suddenly smiled.
43:21All right.
43:22A Visconti soldier
43:23stepped onto the terrace
43:24and lowered his head.
43:25Donna,
43:26the Castillo escort
43:27is requesting permission
43:28to deliver Mr. Castillo's
43:29final message
43:30before the ship leaves.
43:31I did not take
43:32the sealed phone
43:33he offered.
43:33I only looked toward
43:35the dark line
43:35of the harbor,
43:36where a man
43:37who once made
43:37the entire city
43:38wait for him
43:38was now waiting
43:39for my answer.
43:41Tell the escort
43:42the Visconti estate
43:43is not a chapel
43:44for late confessions.
43:46Aslan's eyes
43:46moved to the amusement
43:47park ticket
43:48still resting in my palm.
43:49He may keep asking.
43:50Then let him learn
43:51what waiting feels like.
43:53The soldier bowed
43:54and withdrew.
43:54This time,
43:55no one chased
43:56a departing car,
43:57no one tore a city apart,
43:58and no one shouted
43:59my name through the rain.
44:01The only sound left
44:02was the sea,
44:03calm and merciless.
44:04A distant port whistle sounds.
44:06Some are banished
44:07to the ruins
44:08of the old spring,
44:09while I am finally
44:09about to step
44:10into my own new spring.
44:13The day Renard
44:14left New York,
44:15Soraya did not
44:15go to the dock.
44:16Renard stood on the ship
44:17for a long time,
44:18staring in the direction
44:19of the Visconti estate.
44:21The wind cut
44:21through his coat.
44:22No one offered him
44:23another one.
44:23For years,
44:24men had rushed
44:25to open doors,
44:26light cigars,
44:27pour wine,
44:27and lower their heads
44:29before he even spoke.
44:30Now to Castillo escorts
44:31stood behind him
44:31only because the exile order
44:33required witnesses.
44:34Mr. Castillo,
44:35the ship is leaving.
44:37Mr. Castillo,
44:38not Don.
44:38The title
44:39scraped across his bones.
44:40Renard looked at the dock.
44:42The new Castillo Don
44:42had not come either.
44:44His underboss,
44:44the man who had once
44:45followed him
44:46through gunfire,
44:47now wore the snake crest ring.
44:49Did she say anything?
44:52The Donna said
44:53your exile
44:54has nothing to do with her.
44:55Renard's mouth moved,
44:57but no sound came out.
44:58At the end of the dock,
44:59an old priest
45:00from the small Sicilian church
45:01boarded the ship
45:02with a sealed folder.
45:03Monthly confession forms.
45:05The council wants
45:06the first page
45:07before arrival.
45:08Renard took the folder.
45:09At the top of every page
45:10was Soraya's name.
45:11He remembered her
45:12standing in the snow
45:13outside his car
45:14while he promised fireworks
45:15to another woman.
45:16He remembered saying
45:17the passenger seat
45:18belonged to Ivita.
45:19He remembered ordering
45:20Soraya to apologize
45:21before he even looked
45:22at the evidence.
45:23Departure in five minutes!
45:28Call Viznati!
45:29Tell her I'll sign
45:30everything again!
45:32Tell her I only want
45:33one minute!
45:33The escort's face
45:34did not change.
45:35The Visconti estate
45:36blocks all calls
45:37from this dock.
45:38The ship horn sounded.
45:40For the first time,
45:42Renard Castillo
45:42was the one left behind,
45:44watching a world
45:45close its doors
45:45without asking
45:46whether he was ready.
45:48Sicily welcomed
45:49Renard with rain.
45:51The old mines
45:52were nothing like New York,
45:53no casino lights,
45:54no cigar lounge,
45:56no armored cars
45:56waiting outside.
45:58Only wet stone,
45:59rusted gates,
46:00and a small church
46:01whose bell sounded
46:02like a judgment.
46:03This is your house.
46:05Renard looked at the
46:06cracked walls
46:06and the narrow bed.
46:08Council rules.
46:09No private staff,
46:10no personal guards,
46:12no visitors
46:12without permission.
46:13Confession reports
46:14are due every month.
46:16Leave.
46:17You don't give orders
46:18here,
46:19Mr. Castillo.
46:20After the door closed,
46:21Renard opened
46:22the old box
46:23he had been allowed
46:23to keep.
46:24Inside was the diary
46:25Soraya had told him
46:26to burn.
46:27He had not burned it.
46:28He opened the first page.
46:29I saw Renard today.
46:31He looked like a king,
46:32but he spoke for me
46:33when no one else did.
46:35He doesn't like pink.
46:37I will stop wearing pink.
46:38Maybe one day
46:39he will look at me
46:40without laughing.
46:41Another page.
46:42Today he sent
46:43another woman
46:43to my clinic.
46:44I wanted to ask
46:45if he knew my hands
46:46shook after every surgery,
46:47but he called it
46:48payment and left.
46:49Renard pressed the diary
46:50to his chest,
46:51breathing like a man
46:52with a bullet
46:53lodged inside him.
46:54The old priest
46:55came in without knocking.
46:56Your first confession.
46:58What do I write?
47:01Start with the first wound.
47:03Renard picked up the pen.
47:05For a long time,
47:06he could only write
47:07one sentence.
47:08I made her sit
47:08in the back seat.
47:09Outside,
47:10rain hit the church window
47:11like fingers tapping
47:12on a coffin lid.
47:15A week after Renard
47:16reached Sicily,
47:17the first confession report
47:18arrived at the Visconti estate.
47:23Donna,
47:24from the old mines,
47:25I didn't open it immediately.
47:26Is it required
47:27by council procedure?
47:29Yes.
47:30Then archive a copy
47:31and send one to the council.
47:32Aslan stood beside me,
47:34watching the envelope.
47:35There is a personal letter inside.
47:40Remove it.
47:41Aslan opened the envelope.
47:42A folded page fell out.
47:44Renard's handwriting was rough,
47:46as if written by someone
47:47who had forgotten
47:47how to be steady.
47:49Soraya,
47:49I read the diary.
47:50I finally know
47:51what Pink meant to you.
47:52I finally know
47:53how many times
47:53you waited outside my study.
47:54I finally know
47:55I made you into a ghost
47:56while 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
48:05in the silver tray
48:05by the window.
48:06The flame swallowed
48:07the paper slowly.
48:08For a moment,
48:09I remembered the girl
48:10who once would have kept
48:11even a torn corner
48:12of Renard's writing
48:13like a treasure.
48:13That girl had been easier
48:15to hurt because
48:15she confused crumbs
48:16with love.
48:17He will probably
48:18send another one.
48:19Then burn another one.
48:20Aslan's eyes softened
48:21almost imperceptibly.
48:22And if one day he stops?
48:23I finally looked up.
48:25Then the world
48:26will be quieter.
48:27Outside the window,
48:28spring sunlight
48:29fell across the desk.
48:30It touched the red
48:31Visconti ring,
48:31not the old wedding scar.
48:33On the second week of exile,
48:35a Draco messenger
48:36came to the old church.
48:37Renard was sitting
48:38in the last pew,
48:39writing the second
48:40confession report.
48:41I told her not touching her
48:42was responsibility.
48:43In truth,
48:44it was cowardice
48:44dressed as pride.
48:45The church door
48:46opened behind him.
48:47Renard Castillo.
48:48Renard didn't turn.
48:50I'm not done anymore.
48:51That is exactly
48:51why we came.
48:52The messenger placed
48:53a sealed envelope
48:54on the pew.
48:55Visconti humiliated you.
48:56Sereva took your ports,
48:58your ring,
48:58your family seed.
48:59Help us open one route
49:00through South Harbor.
49:01And we can put you
49:03back in New York.
49:05Renard's hand stilled.
49:06For one second,
49:07the old instinct
49:08moved in him.
49:08Power, return, revenge,
49:10the things he had once
49:11thought mattered most.
49:12Then he remembered
49:13Saraya in the
49:14interrogation chair.
49:15He remembered her saying,
49:16You give orders
49:17and never look back
49:18at the consequences.
49:22You would choose exile
49:24for a woman
49:24who won't even
49:25read your letters?
49:26No.
49:27He watched the paper
49:28curl black.
49:29I choose not to commit
49:30one more crime
49:31in her name.
49:33Before he could move,
49:34a shot cracked
49:35through the church window.
49:36The mine guard
49:36kicked the door open
49:37with two Visconti
49:38soldiers behind him.
49:39Donna's order.
49:40Draco Contact
49:41is to be captured alive.
49:44She knew?
49:46The Donna knows
49:46everything that happens
49:47on Visnutty ground.
49:49For a second,
49:50something like hope
49:50flashed in Renard's eyes.
49:52The guard crushed it
49:53immediately.
49:53She also said
49:54your refusal
49:55changes nothing.
49:56Renard lowered his head.
49:57The confession page
49:58in front of him
49:58was wet from rain
49:59blown through
50:00the broken window.
50:01He picked up the pen
50:01and continued writing.
50:04The captured
50:05Draco messenger
50:05brought more than a knife.
50:06He brought root maps,
50:08bribery lists,
50:08and the names
50:09of three Castillo men
50:10who had been feeding
50:11Draco information
50:12since before Ivita
50:12entered Renard.
50:13At the Visconti hearing,
50:15the Draco consigliere
50:16sat with his hands
50:17chained to the table.
50:18Donna,
50:19this can be negotiated.
50:20I looked at the evidence
50:21Aslan 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.
50:31You tried to use my body
50:32as the battlefield
50:32for two families.
50:33The hall went silent.
50:35I opened Renard's
50:36second confession report
50:37and placed it
50:38beside the Draco file.
50:39Even Renard Castillo admits
50:40Castillo law became a weapon
50:42in the hands of outsiders
50:43because he was too arrogant
50:45to look at the truth.
50:46Aslan read the relevant line aloud.
50:48I gave orders without seeing her.
50:50That blindness allowed
50:51every traitor near me
50:52to choose her as the sacrifice.
50:55The council members
50:55exchanged looks.
50:57Draco consigliere's expression
50:59finally cracked.
51:00You would use his confession
51:02against his own family?
51:03I 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
51:12disputed territory.
51:13Visowni controls
51:14the medical route,
51:15weapons route,
51:16casino ledger route,
51:17and emergency dock authority.
51:19And Draco?
51:20They pay for the attempted murder
51:22of the Vosky heir.
51:23The consigliere's face turned gray.
51:25I closed the file.
51:27Tell Sicily the old spring is awake.
51:31Evada's fate reached Sicily
51:32before she did.
51:33She gave up three Draco routes
51:35in exchange for her life,
51:36but 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,
51:45she stood outside
51:45the Mafia Council building
51:47in a wrinkled coat,
51:48trying to stop a former patron.
51:50You know me.
51:52You said I was beautiful.
51:55You said if Renwick
51:56ever got tired of me,
51:58you would take me in.
51:59The man stepped back
52:01as if she carried disease.
52:02Your name is on Vosky Blacklist.
52:05I can give you information.
52:07You already gave everything
52:08worth buying.
52:09He left without looking back.
52:10A council guard
52:11shoved her away from the doors.
52:13No entry.
52:15Evada stumbled down the stone steps.
52:17Rain had started again.
52:19Her makeup ran into black streaks,
52:21and the pink diamond bracelet
52:22on her wrist
52:23looked cheap under the gray sky.
52:24She suddenly saw Renard
52:25across the road.
52:26He was being escorted back
52:28toward the old mines,
52:29his left leg stiff
52:30from an infected injury
52:31that never healed properly.
52:33Evada rushed forward.
52:34Renmark!
52:35Help me!
52:36Tell them I was yours!
52:38Renard stopped.
52:39For a moment,
52:41Evada thought he might
52:41still soften.
52:42Then he looked at her
52:43the way one looks at a knife
52:44after it has already
52:45cut 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
52:57on the wet stones,
52:58finally understanding
52:59that losing a man's favor
53:00was not punishment.
53:01Being shut out of every door
53:03in the mafia world
53:03is the cruelest punishment.
53:06The day Renard left New York,
53:08I did not go to the dock.
53:09I was told he stood
53:11on the ship for a long time,
53:12staring in the direction
53:13of the Viscani estate.
53:15I was told his left leg,
53:16infected from an old injury
53:18Mateo exposed,
53:19never fully healed.
53:21From then on,
53:21whenever it rained,
53:22the pain would be bad enough
53:24that he could barely stand straight.
53:25I was told that
53:26when the new Castillo Dome
53:27was sworn in,
53:29Renard was forced to sit
53:30in the last seat
53:30and watch his own underboss
53:31put on the snake crest ring.
53:33The most satisfying part
53:34was that he had to witness
53:35the ceremony himself.
53:37He once made every soldier
53:38watch me sit in the back seat.
53:40Now every capo watched him
53:41be driven from the main seat.
53:43He could not resist.
53:44Because the exile order
53:45carried his own signature,
53:47other people told me these things.
53:49I never asked.
53:50And I,
53:51on the second day
53:52after my coronation,
53:53went to the amusement park.
53:54I wore a pink dress,
53:56a pale pink,
53:57like a flower
53:57finally waking in an old spring.
53:59Aslan stood at the entrance
54:01and looked at me
54:01for a long time.
54:02It suits you.
54:05Someone once told me
54:07pink didn't suit me.
54:08Then he was blind.
54:11The carousel light spun.
54:13Fireworks bloomed
54:14across the night sky.
54:15I bought a pink headband
54:16and put it on.
54:17It did not feel childish.
54:19It did not feel embarrassing.
54:21It turned out
54:21that the dreams
54:22I once believed
54:23had to be shared
54:23with one specific person
54:25could be fulfilled alone.
54:26And alone,
54:27they were freer.
54:28My phone buzzed then.
54:29An unknown number
54:30sent a photo.
54:31In front of a small church
54:32at the Old Mines in Sicily,
54:34Renard sat in a wheelchair,
54:35holding a half-burned diary.
54:37I finally read all of it.
54:38I'm sorry.
54:40I read it,
54:40then deleted it.
54:41No reply,
54:42Aslan asked.
54:43Not going to look again.
54:46It doesn't matter.
54:49When the fireworks faded,
54:50the amusement park
54:51grew softer.
54:52Children ran past
54:53with glowing balloons.
54:55Couples took pictures
54:56under the lights.
54:56Somewhere a carousel song
54:58played on.
54:59Bright and simple.
55:00For a moment,
55:01I stood there
55:02and let the night
55:02settle around me.
55:04No one was ordering me
55:05into the back seat.
55:06No one was asking me
55:07to fix another woman for him.
55:09No one was using my silence
55:10as proof that I could
55:11be hurt again.
55:12A man in the distance
55:13recognized me
55:14and lowered his head.
55:15Donna.
55:16I turned and saw
55:17my own shadow in the night.
55:18No longer thin.
55:19No longer waiting.
55:21No longer belonging
55:22to anyone's passenger seat,
55:23marriage bed,
55:24estate,
55:25or old spring.
55:26Aslan walked beside me,
55:28keeping half a step
55:28of distance like always.
55:30Where to now?
55:31I looked at the exit
55:32of the amusement park,
55:33then at the city beyond it.
55:35South Harbor was mine.
55:36The underground clinics
55:37were mine.
55:38The ledgers,
55:39the roots,
55:39the family seat,
55:40the name that had once
55:41been buried under
55:42Castio's shame all of it
55:43had returned to my hand.
55:45Home.
55:46The estate?
55:47I smiled.
55:48No,
55:49wherever I choose to stand.
55:50The night wind lifted
55:51the hem of my pink dress.
55:53For years,
55:53I had mistaken waiting
55:54for loyalty,
55:55humiliation for patience,
55:57and crumbs for love.
55:58Now the old spring
55:58slept behind me.
56:00The new spring did not wait.
56:01I am Saraya Visconti.
56:03I once loved Adon.
56:05Then I became my own Donna.
56:07I am the comprehensile.
56:09I am the general
56:10moved inside all of me.
56:10I am the only 1,
