00:00Gia was the Rabeni family's precious little princess.
00:04She'd botched a negotiation, gotten kidnapped by a rival family, and was being held in an abandoned factory.
00:10Now, as the Rabeni family's top bomb expert, I was her only shot at getting that bomb off.
00:18Elena.
00:21Gia's inside.
00:22But whatever they strap to her, no one dares touch it.
00:27A precision countdown bomb is strapped to Gia. They have less than an hour.
00:36Elena, what took you so long?
00:40You're the only one who can defuse this thing. Please, save her!
00:44Usually, all they had to do was wait for me to handle it. But this time, I hadn't even brought
00:49my kit.
00:50Gia risked her life for this family. Elena, save her. Now.
00:55They expected me to fix everything like I always did.
00:58No one even noticed my hands were wrapped in bandages.
01:01What's this?
01:07Unfortunately, the nerves in my fingers were damaged.
01:10My hands won't stop shaking, so I can't defuse this bomb.
01:20My hands are ruined.
01:25Permanent nerve damage. Tremors in both hands.
01:29For a bomb-deposal expert, it was as good as losing them.
01:33When did this happen?
01:36Two weeks ago.
01:38You might want to ask your beloved heir about that.
01:41Two weeks earlier, Gia wanted to enter my bomb-deposal workshop.
01:45I said no.
01:47Mateo said if I kept her out, our relationship was over.
01:52Gia, don't touch that!
01:54I'd warned her to look, not touch.
01:56She triggered the pressure switch anyway.
01:58When the permission dropped, I barely had time to shove Mateo out of the way.
02:07Oh God, I didn't mean to.
02:09Hey, it's okay. Don't be scared. No one's blaming you.
02:13Half an hour passed.
02:15Gia finally stopped crying.
02:17Only then did Mateo remember to take me to the hospital.
02:30If you'd come in ten minutes earlier, we might have saved the nerves.
02:35Now, the best we can do is preserve basic grip function.
02:40I still had to wait to find out if my hands would recover.
02:43But when it came to Mateo and me, there was nothing left to wait for.
02:52Gia only hit the switch by accident.
02:55You were in charge.
02:56You should have made sure it was safe.
03:00I warned her, look, do not touch.
03:03Now look at my hands.
03:04I can't defuse bombs anymore.
03:08Gia's father took a bullet for my father.
03:10I promised I'd keep her safe.
03:11I know you can do this.
03:14Now go!
03:15I knew Mateo always took Gia's side.
03:18But it still hurt.
03:19We'd been together for seven years.
03:20Everyone assumed that when Mateo took over the Ribini family, I'd be standing beside him.
03:25Then Gia came along.
03:26And somehow, no one talked about that anymore.
03:32Gia's father had once saved Salvatore's life.
03:34And she knew exactly how to win people over.
03:39Before long, Mateo was always with her.
03:42Bringing her to every formal event.
03:44I asked him why it always had to be Gia by his side.
03:51She knows how to work a room.
03:53But you?
03:54What would I bring you for?
03:55To defuse bombs for the guests?
03:57Back then, I still made excuses for him.
03:59Now I saw the truth.
04:01To Mateo, I was just a handy little tool.
04:04Those two lasers have to be adjusted at the exact same time.
04:06One with each hand.
04:10No room for error.
04:13My hands can't do that.
04:16This isn't a request.
04:18It's an order.
04:19Gia is family.
04:20I won't stand here and watch her die.
04:23If I touch that bomb, it'll go off.
04:25We'll both die.
04:28Father.
04:29I'll take care of it.
04:31I'll save Gia.
04:34You sure?
04:36Elena taught me herself.
04:37I know everything she knows.
04:40I may not be 100% sure, but that's still better than someone who won't even save her own family.
04:48We're family and she's just standing there refusing to help.
04:51So much for loyalty.
04:53Family?
04:54To Mateo, Gia was the only family worth saving.
04:58Me?
04:58I was just the price he was willing to pay.
05:01As long as Gia stayed alive.
05:09Gia has risked a great deal for this family.
05:12Once she's safe, she'll take over the Santa Blanca arms route.
05:17The Santa Blanca route had always been mine to run, and it made the family a fortune.
05:22Gia botched a simple negotiation and forced everyone to clean up her mess.
05:26But after all that, she still gets to take my route.
05:31That negotiation wasn't difficult.
05:33Gia failed, got captured.
05:35And ended up with a bomb strapped to her.
05:37And somehow, she gets rewarded for it.
05:43Enough!
05:44This is someone's life we're talking about!
05:47You just wanna watch her die?
05:49Don't you!
05:55If I guide you through this, I'm taking the same risk.
05:57Since Gia gets my route, I want something else back.
06:00That gun was a gift from me.
06:02Mateo promised he'd always carry it so he could protect me.
06:04But now, the barrel was pressed against my temple.
06:06Don't bargain with me!
06:07Shoot me! Do it now!
06:08Gia there.
06:09I won't be dying alone.
06:15Elena, don't push me.
06:18Everything has a price.
06:20Elena, name yours.
06:21I want full ownership of the San Carlo Bay Hotel.
06:24My mother left it to me.
06:25I want it back.
06:31You already gave the hotel to the family.
06:33Why take it back now?
06:35That's my bottom line.
06:36Take your time.
06:37I'm just not sure how much time Gia has left.
06:39A verbal promise wasn't enough to bind Salvatore and Mateo.
06:42I needed a witness they wouldn't dare cross.
06:44Mysterio Moretti.
06:45Don of the Moretti family.
06:46Chairman of the Five Family Commission.
06:49Hello?
06:51Petirio Moretti.
06:52Don of the Moretti family.
06:54Chairman of the Five Family Commission.
06:55He clearly hadn't expected my call.
06:57Elena, I thought I'd never see this number on my screen again.
07:00Petirio, I'll keep this short.
07:01I need an impartial witness.
07:03Does the Rebeni family agree to transfer the San Carlo Bay Hotel to Elena?
07:07Yes or no?
07:19Stabilize both lasers first.
07:21Then adjust both contacts at the same time.
07:23If either hand is late, the bomb goes off.
07:28No distractions during the final sequence.
07:30Everyone out.
07:30Except Mateo.
07:41That night, Mateo brought Gia back alive.
07:44They saved who they wanted to save.
07:46I got my mother's hotel back.
07:49That should have been the end of it.
07:50listed series.
08:05Where you going?
08:07I'm leaving.
08:09Who said you could leave?
08:11Mr. Ribbany,
08:12we're not married yet.
08:15I don't need your consent to leave.
08:17Once the hotel transfer was complete, I was never coming back.
08:22I'll let you know when the paperwork is ready for your signature.
08:30Don't bother.
08:31The promise to return the hotel is off.
08:37You're not getting the hotel.
08:40And you won't see a dime from the trust fund.
08:43Vitidio witnessed that promise himself.
08:45You'd really humiliate Victorio Morelli like that?
08:48Even the Moretti family has to play by the rules.
08:50You extorted the family first.
08:53That promise is void.
08:54So this had been their plan all along.
08:56They'd never intended to give the hotel back.
08:58They just needed me to hand over the diffusion steps first.
09:02Stop this.
09:03Stay.
09:05Everyone in the family is angry with you right now.
09:07Stay out of sight.
09:09I'll handle it.
09:11I didn't need him to handle anything for me.
09:13I only needed to get to Vitidio.
09:15He'd make sure Salvatore and Mateo kept their word.
09:18Elena, I'm warning you for the last time.
09:20Stay.
09:24This is all my fault.
09:25I messed up the negotiation.
09:28Everyone had to risk so much because of me.
09:35Elena, why wouldn't you save me?
09:36Are you still angry because I hurt your hands?
09:38I swear I didn't mean to.
09:41A few tears, and everyone forgot she'd ignored my warning in the workshop.
09:46Forgot she'd turned a simple negotiation into a disaster.
09:50Move.
09:53Let's see who dares stop me.
09:57Stop her.
10:01What now?
10:02You're not leaving.
10:06You still have a family tribunal to face.
10:17I gave you a chance to stay.
10:19You turned it down.
10:20In the Rabeni family, my word is final.
10:23I've committed no crime.
10:25I demand to leave.
10:27You refused to save Gia, used her life to get what you wanted, and now you think you can just
10:31walk away?
10:32If everyone defied the family like you, there'd be no Rabeni family left.
10:36She's run that route for years.
10:38Who knows how much she pocketed?
10:39For all we know, the hand injury is fake.
10:41Just a ploy to get the hotel.
10:43No one checked the medical report.
10:44No one asked why Gia had failed.
10:46They didn't care about the truth.
10:47They just needed a scapegoat, and Mateo had already made me one.
10:53Gia.
10:55Tell everyone what happened.
10:57I was terrified when they strapped that bomb to me.
10:59I just kept thinking, Elena will come.
11:01She's the best bomb expert in the family.
11:03I knew she'd save me, but...
11:06Don't be scared.
11:07I've got you.
11:08She can't hurt you again.
11:11He hadn't even let her finish, and he'd already decided which of us was the victim.
11:17The negotiation failed because Elena had secretly contacted the Mancini family.
11:22She wanted them to kill me!
11:25She wanted them to kill me!
11:28Elena's guilty!
11:32She tried to kill the daughter of Salvatore's saver!
11:35Punish her!
11:36Mateo, you believe her?
11:37You think I betrayed the family?
11:39For seven years, I've been defusing bombs for the Rabeni family, handling all the troubles
11:44that can't see the light of day.
11:46Mateo knows I wouldn't sell the whole family to the enemy just to get back at Gia.
11:49I'll investigate whether you betrayed us, but until then, I believe Gia.
11:54And you, Don Salvadore, you believe Gia too?
11:59Gia has always been honest.
12:01I trust her.
12:03Seven years of love and loyalty, lost to a few tears from Gia.
12:08Fine.
12:09You say I was working with the Mancini family?
12:11Prove it.
12:12I'll wait.
12:17Pointless or not, we're not done.
12:18We'll deal with your ties to the enemy later, but now you need to answer for refusing to
12:22save Gia.
12:29Refused to save her?
12:31You know what happened to my hands, you saw the report, and you still think I chose not
12:35to save Gia?
12:35You put yourself before the family, then you held Gia's life over our heads to get what
12:40you wanted.
12:41The hotel was mine to begin with.
12:44And don't forget, Vitellio witnessed the agreement.
12:48At the most critical moment, you used the Moretti family to pressure us.
12:52That cannot be forgiven.
12:54Gia botched the negotiation and still got my root.
12:56I tried to take back my mother's hotel, and somehow I was the traitor.
13:00To them, loyalty meant I obeyed while they broke every promise.
13:06With the Don's approval, I'm issuing the final verdict.
13:08Elena violated her duty of loyalty, used Gia's life to extort the family, and is hereby sentenced
13:13to family punishment zero.
13:14Code zero.
13:15The Rabeni family's harshest internal punishment.
13:18Ninety-nine lashes, not one less.
13:20Many didn't survive.
13:22Those who did might never walk again.
13:25You're doing it yourself?
13:39I'll make sure you remember the price of defying the family.
13:59the first lash.
14:00The first lash sent pain tearing through my whole body.
14:02I bit down on the gag and made no sound.
14:05I would never beg for mercy in front of Gia, nor let Matteo think pain could make me obey.
14:11Please, stop.
14:13I'm sure Aline's learned her lesson by now.
14:16I stared at the stone floor and kept counting.
14:18Ninety-one, ninety-two, all the way to ninety-nine.
14:22The final lash fell.
14:23My strength gave out and I collapsed beside the rack.
14:31Tend to your wounds.
14:32I'll keep investigating the enemy connection and the failed negotiation.
14:37They thought ninety-nine lashes would make me confuse.
14:40But once everyone was gone, I had only one thought left.
14:44They broke their promise and trapped me here.
14:47Then they had no right to expect mercy from me.
14:57Elena.
14:58Victorio.
14:59It's time.
15:00I'm calling in that favor.
15:04Three years ago, Victorio was trapped by a booby trap during a family conflict.
15:08I went into the lockdown zone, disarmed the trigger and saved his life.
15:12The Moretti family never leaves a favor unpaid.
15:16Tonight, he came to repay mine.
15:18Who did this to you?
15:24Armed men on my estate at midnight?
15:27That's against commission rules.
15:29I owe her my life.
15:31And you broke a promise made in my presence.
15:34That's an insult to my name.
15:36This is an internal Rabeni Asher.
15:39Outsiders have no right to interfere.
15:42Become Don first.
15:43Then you can join us.
15:55The footage is unedited.
15:58Anyone who doubts it can inspect the original file.
16:04No objections?
16:06Then we honor the promise.
16:13They could break their word to me.
16:16But not to the chairman of the commission.
16:18El Salvador had a choice to make.
16:25I object.
16:26Elena violated her oath of loyalty.
16:29That voids the agreement.
16:42I never betrayed the family.
16:45My hands were injured so I couldn't defuse the bomb.
16:48All I did was ask for my mother's hotel back.
16:50And you gave me 99 lashes for it.
16:53I told them what happened at the factory.
16:54How they broke their promise.
16:56And what they sentenced me to.
16:58No exaggeration.
16:59No pleading.
17:00My injury spoke for themselves.
17:05Salvatore.
17:06Your objection is overruled.
17:10A property transfer requires legal documents.
17:13I need time to have them drawn up.
17:15No need.
17:16I already had them drawn up for you.
17:34You'll regret this.
17:36My only regret is ever thinking of you as family.
17:45The paperwork was official.
17:47I finally had my mother's hotel back in my hands.
17:58Helena, can we talk alone?
18:00There's nothing left to say.
18:01I don't want to see you anymore.
18:02I don't want to see you anymore.
18:09You're really leaving?
18:11After seven years, you can just walk away?
18:21I'd worn that ring for three years, believing that if I waited long enough, one day I'd walk down the
18:27aisle in white.
18:28But the moment Matteo turned a gun on me, that future died.
18:32So did we.
18:33Our engagement is over.
18:43Elena.
18:44Let me explain.
18:51I couldn't hear what Matteo was shouting behind us.
18:53I didn't care to.
18:55Getting the hotel back was only the first step.
18:57Ninety-nine lashes.
18:59A sham trial.
19:01A broken promise.
19:02None of it was settled.
19:05I want the commission to convene a tribunal.
19:08Salvadore, Matteo, and Gia.
19:10I want all three of them there.
19:15Don't worry, Matteo.
19:16We'd see each other again.
19:18And next time, I wouldn't be the one standing trial.
19:27The Matteo didn't think I was really gone.
19:30He was used to hurting me and waiting for me to come back.
19:33He thought I'd do it again.
19:36Who made this?
19:38Elena hates lamb chops.
19:40Take it away.
19:43But you're the one who likes lamb chops.
19:46I had them made for you.
19:48Gia's words finally reminded him.
19:50I was no longer there.
19:53He could eat whatever he wanted now.
19:56But he didn't take a single bite of the lamb stops.
20:09Why is all this still a mess?
20:12These files are strictly confidential.
20:14You said only you and Miss Valenti could access them.
20:16She used to organize everything.
20:34Two crew leaders pulled guns in the hallway.
20:37Over control of the routes.
20:39Three of our men still haven't received their compensation.
20:43Their families are outside the estate demanding answers.
20:47Before, none of these problems ever reached Matteo.
20:52By each meeting, I'd already settled root disputes, checked compensation, and inspected every shipment.
21:00Now I was gone, and everything hit him at once.
21:07Even with the family falling apart, Matteo still couldn't admit he'd driven me away.
21:12He told himself I was doing this on purpose, just to make him come to me first.
21:17Give it a few days, he thought.
21:19I'd come back like I always did.
21:23I'd come back like I always did.
21:25I'd come back like I always did.
21:48If I was really gone for good.
21:56You look exhausted.
21:57Let me give you a massage.
21:59I'm pretty good at it.
22:06Who let you in?
22:09No one.
22:10I just wanted to be with you.
22:15That old cuffclin was something I'd made for his 20th birthday.
22:20Gia asked if he liked her nightgown.
22:22Matteo just stared at it, feeling nothing but irritation.
22:25No. Get out.
22:31I said, get out!
22:37Once Gia was gone, Matteo finally made up his mind.
22:41He'd come find me himself.
22:43Somehow, he still thought it wasn't too late.
22:53Matteo kept sending letters, asking to see me.
22:57I left them all unopened.
22:59Until his trial, there was nothing left for us to say in private.
23:10To be continued...
23:11To be continued...
23:11To be continued...
23:11To be continued...
23:12To be continued...
23:16To be continued...
23:20To be continued...
23:21I'm not here to fight!
23:23I just wanna see Elena!
23:31don't move you won't get another warning
23:37are you done being mad come home with me we're nothing to each other now i admit i handled
23:42things badly but try to understand the position i was in you refused to save gia then brought

24:25mancini's three days ago one of your ships was seized carrying narcotics loans gambling guns all
24:33fair game but drugs were off limits they brought the full weight of the federal government down

25:32this is between you and me there's no need to bring the commission into it you broke a public
25:37promise you gave me 99 lashes and now you've let narcotics onto one of our shared routes you don't
25:43get to call this private anymore not to mention breaking into the morelia estate this time i wasn't
25:48waiting for mateo to decide my fate i'd be sitting on the other side putting him on fire
25:53at the commission hearing all five dons were there i submitted gia's false accusation
26:01my medical report the factory recording and proof of the 99 laps
26:06the evidence spoke for itself
26:09the rabeni family broke a witnessed agreement
26:12and punished elena velari without cause
26:15thirty million dollars in damages i'll pay
26:19use the money to buy yourself a very expensive grave
26:34we're not done yet
26:36a week ago
26:37three hundred kilos of narcotics were found on a rabeni ship
26:40under the five families packed your family is now under investigation
26:46the drugs turned up on the santa blanca route
26:50you were in charge of it for seven years
26:53you want an investigation

27:03as you wish
27:04start with me
27:07here are all the shipping records from the seven years i ran santa blanca
27:14the records are complete no signs of tampering over seven years elena velini oversaw 217 shipments
27:21not a single violation i checked every shipment before it left port and kept the records
27:25not because i saw this coming because that was my responsibility
27:29and here's the handover date
27:31the moment gia took over the route
27:33drugs turned up on one of your ships
27:36don rabeni
27:38you still think this has nothing to do with the rabeni family
27:47and here's what's interesting
27:48the supplier was the same mancini family that kidnapped you gia
27:52i don't know what she's talking about
27:54mateo say something
27:55gia had nothing to do with this
27:57she doesn't know anything about running a route
28:01then why did you put her in charge of santa blanca
28:04because mateo loves me
28:06he wanted me to have the best of everything
28:10elena just can't accept that he left her
28:12so she's trying to frame me
28:15is that true mateo
28:17no
28:22giving gia the route was a mistake
28:24that's on me
28:26but you were the only one i ever loved
28:29elena
28:31come back to me
28:32not happening
28:33this is a hearing
28:34stick to the case
28:35fine
28:36so you chose her after all
28:38then don't blame me
28:40someone in the rabeni family
28:42did help the mancini's move those drugs
28:46and that man
28:48was mateo rabeni
28:57do you even know what you're saying
28:59of course i do
29:00it's you
29:03you're the one who gave away access
29:05to the santa blanca route
29:11enough
29:13she's upset
29:14she doesn't know what she's saying
29:16this hearing is over
29:25that night everyone else left the factory
29:27only mateo and gia stayed behind
29:29so no one saw what really happened
29:44those twin alignment lasers had to be adjusted in perfect sync
29:48even a trained expert could slip
29:51mateo only knew the basics
29:53there was almost no chance he'd pulled it off alone
29:57back then i thought he'd gotten lucky
29:59but now there was the route access
30:00the mancini's
30:02the drugs
30:02and suddenly it all connected
30:05no one leaves
30:07i have one more question
30:26everyone stays where they are
30:27elena will finish her questions
30:29then we'll continue the hearing
30:33tell me
30:35how did you stabilize the left laser that night
30:38which contact point did you adjust first
30:41how many times did it drift
30:43i want every detail
30:49elena
30:50please
30:51stop asking
30:52anyone who'd actually disarmed that bomb
30:54would remember the sequence
30:56his silence told me everything
30:58mateo's skill wasn't what saved gia that night
31:01someone had cut a deal behind closed doors
31:05i request mateo's complete call records from that night
31:11i object
31:12you have no right to invade my son's privacy
31:15this is the five family commission
31:17not some civil court
31:18someone accessed that route without authorization
31:20300 kilos of narcotics ended up on the east coast
31:22and you still want to hide behind privacy
31:30i'll put up the san carlo bay hotel as collateral
31:33pull mateo's call records
31:34and we'll find out exactly how that first bomb was stopped
31:44what are you so afraid of
31:46tell them
31:48you traded access to that route for the bomb's abort code
31:53you did it because you loved me
31:56no one can blame you for saving someone you love
32:00there it was
32:03mateo had never defused the bomb
32:04he called the mancinis and traded them access to santa blanca for the abort code
32:09the code saved gia
32:11the access let them move drugs on rubeni ships
32:14one deal connected everything
32:20i never loved you
32:25i protected gia because her father saved mine
32:29that's all it ever was
32:30that night she told me you had worked with the mancinis
32:33to have her kidnapped and i believed her
32:35i knew i couldn't defuse the bomb
32:37so i called the mancinis
32:40i gave them access to the route
32:42and they gave me the abort code
32:44elena
32:45you're the only woman i've ever loved
32:47please
32:49come back to me
32:50he finally told the truth
32:51and somehow
32:52he still thought the truth would bring me back
32:55but admitting what he'd done
32:56couldn't erase the 99 lashes from my back

35:48and she still wouldn't spare you a glance
35:53elena
35:55you think you won
35:57no
35:59i'm the one who really won
36:06a miniature time bomb
36:07jia had made herself the final weapon
36:09with me trapped at ground zero
36:15nobody touched jia
36:16she's got a time bomb on her
36:17everybody back
36:18the detonator was tied to jia's heart rate
36:20if her pulse crossed the threshold
36:21it would blow
36:22if her heart stopped
36:23same thing
36:24this is every bomb tech's worst nightmare
36:28aren't you supposed to be the best bomb tech there is
36:33let's see you get out of this one
36:36you can't save anyone
36:38not even yourself
36:42trying to disarm it could spike jia's pulse and set it off
36:45shooting her wouldn't help either
36:47the moment her heart stopped
36:48the bomb would blow
36:50now every way out was already blocked
37:02bet you didn't see this coming
37:05your last five minutes
37:08and you're spending them trapped in my arms
37:16i couldn't provoke her or risk anyone making a move
37:19one more surge of panic
37:20and her heart rate could spike before anyone made it out
37:32well well look who's finally getting what she deserves
37:35nice work jia
37:37stay right there don't come any closer
37:39you're smart elena you know exactly what i'm doing
37:44you really thought i'd beg at your feet
37:47i only asked to stay close
37:49so i could wait for my chance
37:58the chance to put a bullet in you myself
38:01that gun again
38:03the first time he put it to my head to force me to save jia
38:07now he was aiming it at me again
38:09right in front of everyone
38:13did you and jia plan this together
38:15no
38:19i finally figured it out
38:22jia
38:22you're the one i love
38:25you really mean that
38:27of course
38:29once we deal with her we'll get on a boat
38:30and go somewhere no one knows us
38:33start over
38:36then kill her first
38:44this ends here elena
38:48elena
38:48i love you
38:54it wasn't goodbye
38:55it was a signal
38:56mateo was playing her
38:58i couldn't react or let jia see anything change
39:01as long as she believed him
39:02i still had a way out
39:04all right
39:06let's finish this
39:08sweetheart step back
39:09i don't want the blast catching you
39:12you really mean it
39:14you'll marry me
39:15of course
39:17once we're out of here we'll get married
39:19jia finally let go of me
39:20every gun in the courtyard shifted onto her
39:23waiting on my signal
39:24but she'd only moved a few steps
39:27neither of us was out of the blast radius
39:30anyone fires i set it off
39:32elena dies with me
39:4430 seconds
39:45don't play me
39:46kill her
39:47and i'll shut it down
39:51touch me or mateo
39:52and i blow it
39:53elena's close enough to die with us
39:55she'd calculated exactly what everyone was afraid of
39:58one shot could spike her pulse past the trigger line
40:00now the only person she would let close was mateo
40:02fine
40:03i'll do it now
40:07he didn't fire
40:08that shove sent me out of the blast zone
40:11and cost him his last chance to get out
40:14mateo
40:15you played me
40:16you played me you bastard
40:18mateo
40:19i couldn't hear what he said
40:21but i knew he wasn't planning to come back
40:25jia knew she'd been played
40:26and her pulse was racing toward the trigger point
40:29everyone else began to retreat
40:32everyone except mateo
40:34he stayed right where he was
40:36holding jia there
40:43mateo
40:43how could you lie to me
40:56mateo how could you lie to me
41:04mateo how could you lie to me
41:11miss valenti you should get some rest we'll take it from here
41:18no keep moving
41:19lock down the scene and bring the drug ledgers to the conference room
41:23in the end mateo saved my life
41:25but one last sacrifice couldn't undo seven years of hurt
41:28i wouldn't let his death turn our past into something softer than it was
41:32whatever remained between us
41:34ended here
41:41freeze the santa blanca route
41:42audit every port clearance
41:44pay every family in full
41:47anyone tied to the drug shipments
41:48i want their names on the commission's desk tonight
42:06i had lost the steadiness of my hands
42:08and seven years of my life to love
42:10but my judgment was still my own
42:13so was the path i chose
42:16from that moment on
42:17i would stop protecting other people's empires
42:20i would build one of my own
