00:00Nine leaders will decide.
00:01If a majority finds you exceeded your authority,
00:04the family loses its seat on the council.
00:07Worst case scenario?
00:08Frozen accounts, shipping routes cut off, allies pulling out,
00:12the estate becomes a target for every enemy we have.
00:14And?
00:15I may not come back.
00:17At least this time you didn't lie and say you'd only be gone a few days.
00:20I promised I wouldn't shut you out again.
00:22Then I'm going with you.
00:22Family members aren't allowed inside the trial chamber.
00:24Then I'll wait outside. We come back alive together or we-
00:27Don't say that word.
00:27Then walk out of there alive.
00:30Mara Ellis, certified in national first aid and trauma-informed childcare.
00:37When are you coming back?
00:40As soon as we can.
00:42I don't care how soon. Just come back together.
00:46We'll come back together.
00:49Nobody gets left behind.
00:57What is it?
00:59That last nanny, she didn't seem like a first time visitor.
01:03I'll have Marco run her again.
01:05Maybe I've just been on edge lately.
01:14Hello, Leo.
01:16Uh huh.
01:18I'm Mara.
01:19I don't know.
01:58That's the man who shot an elder over his wife and kids.
02:03If he walks out today, the whole council's balance of power shifts.
02:23No weapons beyond this point.
02:35How many did you bring?
02:37None now.
02:40The lady must remain in the upstairs lounge.
02:47Go.
02:48I'm not going anywhere.
02:50If anyone makes you uncomfortable, call me.
02:57Even in the middle of your trial?
02:59Especially then.
03:01Then they'd better hope I'm in a good mood today.
03:06I'll be waiting when you come out.
03:31You didn't bring a lawyer.
03:33The law has never decided the outcome in this room.
03:36Then what does?
03:38Power.
03:39Evidence.
03:42And who has more to lose?
03:45No further action will be taken.
03:48Now, does anyone else have a problem?
03:52You executed a family elder without council authorization.
03:55Do you admit it?
03:56I do.
03:59You broke a century of council law for your wife and a child who isn't even your blood.
04:04Do you admit that?
04:06I admit I killed him.
04:08There's no difference.
04:09There's a hell of a difference.
04:10You just don't want them hearing the full recording.
04:15Pending judgment.
04:16All Romano off-store accounts, root privileges, and the family's council seat are hereby frozen.
04:30Lock it tight.
04:32No one in this room should leave early today.
04:37Admit that personal feelings compromised your judgment and surrender the vacant seat.
04:42The council will let you keep 30% of your offshore assets.
04:46Protecting my wife and children is personal.
04:50Executing a traitor who staged a coup and sold us out is Adan's duty.
04:54The elder convooned a lawful succession meeting.
04:57We have signatures from seven family officers.
04:59Three signed at gunpoint.
05:01Two had already lost their authority before they signed.
05:04Can you prove that?
05:05Yes.
05:06You walked in here willingly.
05:09I doubt yes is all you brought.
05:10Send Marco in.
05:24Once I control the estate, Nora and the two children become perfect leverage.
05:31Luca will hand over everything on his knees.
05:41Every file ended up in accounts controlled by Adrian.
05:45The payment trail leads back to the elder Luca exec executed.
05:48He sold out the family security network?
05:50He sold out more than me.
05:52He gave Adrian three roots protected by this council.
05:56This is an internal Romano investigation.
05:58It proves nothing.
06:00Then explain this money.
06:04Forgery.
06:06Restrain him now.
06:12Did you not hear me?
06:13They heard you.
06:16Private clearance authority frozen.
06:19Your accounts are simply more honest than your testimony.
06:27I am the highest authority in this trial.
06:31Not anymore.
06:35You brought me here to stand trial.
06:38But the moment I walked through those doors, I was never the one on trial.
06:42The elder staged a coup and conspired with an enemy.
06:46The execution stands.
06:48Restore every Romano privilege.
06:56You used yourself as bait just to flush out the last conspirator.
07:03I have someone waiting for me.
07:05I don't leave problems for tomorrow.
07:08The transfer of authority will take another 40 minutes.
07:12Madam, the closing reception has begun.
07:15Please proceed to the ballroom.
07:18What's the verdict?
07:19We are not authorized to disclose it before the official announcement.
07:24Is Luca safe?
07:25I'm sorry.
07:27Lead the way.
07:29Lead the way.
07:31Lead the way.
07:33Lead the way.
