opening post on The Godmother's New Heir, and the transaction at the centre of it was never a gift.
She gave him a kidney. That is a thing you cannot repay, and everyone involved knows it. So watch what happens to an unrepayable debt in a family that runs on obligation: it stops being gratitude and becomes resentment.
By the time he turns on her, the organ is not a memory. It is a grievance. Somebody has been keeping score, and it was not the woman who paid.
That is the coldest idea in this story, and the show never states it out loud.
✨ What worked for me:
- Nobody ever mentions the kidney as leverage.
- He is never shown feeling grateful. Not once.
✨ Bottom line: she gave him life and got a receipt in return.
Who was actually keeping score?

00:02I'm not just touching it, I'm wearing it.
00:05See this?
00:06The blood ring.
00:07The symbol of the Valenti godfather.
00:11Oh my god, I've only ever seen this ring on the news!
00:15Vanessa, you've made it!
00:18An adoptive mother hogging the blood ring?
00:21Please, I'm the future lady of the Valenti family.
00:25The ring of power belongs to me.
00:28All hail the queen!
00:35Vanessa, my girl, they've got some nice stuff in this place.
00:38Okay, if we take a few things home?
00:40Take whatever you want. Don't be shy.
00:51Vanessa Valenti has a nice ring to it.
00:58Who's there?
01:06Serafina?
01:10Die!
01:19Godmother, they're getting away, and we're out of ammo!
01:23Who says we're out?
01:24I'm flying the biggest round we've got.
01:30Godmother, don't!
01:37She's crazy!
01:38She's taking us all down with her!
01:56Godmother!
02:20Godmother, every last one of them is gone.
02:21We won!
02:28Godmother, Master Luca is getting married!
02:30Which family's daughter?
02:32Not one of the families.
02:34She's from Brooklyn.
02:35Grew up in foster homes.
02:41Before I knew it, Luca's getting married.
02:4920 years ago, Luca's father died for me.
02:58His mother died giving birth to him, and now his father's gone too.
03:02What's going to happen to this baby?
03:09From today on, he's my son.
03:18I raised him.
03:20I gave him everything.
03:23I'd have given my life.
03:25Godmother, are you really giving Master Luca your kidney?
03:28He's my son.
03:29If it saves him, what's one kidney?
03:33Will you tell him?
03:34No.
03:35I'm saving my own child.
03:37He doesn't owe me anything.
03:42We don't share blood, but in my heart, he's my own son.
03:49I'm coming home tonight.
03:57Welcome home, Godmother.
04:01Where's Luca?
04:02Master Luca meant to come, but Miss Vanessa sent him out for a cake.
04:06He asked me to take you home first.
04:09Let's go.
04:11Uncle, I'm almost at Luca's.
04:13Once he takes over the family, I'm the godfather's wife.
04:17Every big shot in New York will be jumping when I say so.
04:21Godmother, Miss Vanessa comes from nothing.
04:24She's no match for Master Luca.
04:26It doesn't matter.
04:26I trust his judgment.
04:28As long as he loves her, I'm behind him all the way.
04:34It's okay, honey.
04:38My baby!
04:47Watch out!
05:07My car!
05:12Are you insane?
05:14Where the hell did you come from?
05:16You nearly killed a child.
05:19Nearly.
05:20The kid's fine, isn't it?
05:21My car's not.
05:22You know what this car costs?
05:23Sell you on the black market and you still couldn't pay for one window.
05:26Which matters more, a car or a person?
05:30Be grateful you're not a murderer.
05:32Don't try to scare me.
05:33You want money, right?
05:35Okay.
05:39Okay.
05:42Okay.
05:44Okay.
05:50Godmother, say the word and I'll have her on her knees apologizing.
05:55Let it go.
05:57Luca's fiance is waiting.
05:59I'm not wasting time on someone like that.
06:09Godmother, someone of your standing shouldn't be doing this.
06:12It's the first time Luca's brought a girl home.
06:13If I cook for her myself, she'll know she matters.
06:16Oh, the gift?
06:17The French Empress's own necklace.
06:19There isn't another like it in the world.
06:21You're really giving it to a girl you've never met?
06:24As long as she loves Luca, nothing's too precious.
06:30Mom.
06:35You're about to get married and you're still such a kid.
06:39I haven't seen you in forever.
06:41I missed you so much.
06:45Mom, Vanessa's almost here.
06:47She's the kindest girl I've ever met.
06:49She just never had a family, so she's not great with older people.
06:51If she says something wrong, don't be mad at her.
06:55She's not even here yet.
06:56And you're already protecting her?
06:58Because I really love her.
07:01Girls as sweet and innocent as her are so rare.
07:04All right.
07:05Mom, trust your judgment.
07:06You're the best, Mom.
07:08If you chose her, she must be wonderful.
07:11That must be Vanessa.
07:16Hey, sweetheart, you made it.
07:18Mom, this is my fiancée, Vanessa.
07:21It's you.
07:22It's you.
07:26She's Luca's mother?
07:28You want money, right?
07:35Mom?
07:36Sweetheart?
07:37You two know each other?
07:38No!
07:40I pissed her off.
07:42What if she won't let me marry Luca?
07:44Okay, let me do this properly.
07:46This is my mother, Serafina.
07:48If she hadn't adopted me,
07:50I'd probably have frozen to death on some street in New York.
07:52Adopted?
07:53Just the adoptive mom.
07:55Then I've got nothing to worry about.
07:56Look at her.
07:57She can't be anybody in the Valenti family.
07:59Vanessa, say hi.
08:01Mrs. Valenti?
08:02Hi.
08:03I got this for you.
08:07If Luca loves her,
08:08I should support him.
08:09Maybe this morning was a misunderstanding.
08:12Mom, you're the best.
08:13Vanessa, say thank you.
08:14Called it.
08:14Sucking up to me already.
08:18Thanks.
08:19I love it.
08:25Luca, give me the tour?
08:27Yes, ma'am.
08:32I'll watch her a little longer.
08:35Vanessa, it's your first time here.
08:37Mom cooked tonight's dinner herself,
08:38just for you.
08:39I don't eat rosemary.
08:41Leave it out next time.
08:46Uncle, the Valentis are even richer than I thought.
08:48Once I marry in, all of this is ours.
08:55Mom, this lamb's so tender.
08:58Try it.
09:02I haven't even started!
09:04Who said you could eat first?
09:10What did you say?
09:12You've got some nerve eating first.
09:14Do you even see me sitting here?
09:17Sweetheart, this one's great too.
09:18Try it.
09:19I don't want that one.
09:20The first serving goes to the guest.
09:23You're how old and you still don't know basic manners?
09:28Say that again.
09:30Mom, please don't be mad.
09:32She's just a little hot temple.
09:34She doesn't mean anything by it.
09:36Please forgive her.
09:37For Luca.
09:39One more time.
09:41If she wants it, give it to her.
09:43Thanks, Mom.
09:44Just like I thought,
09:46she only gets to live here because of Luca.
09:48At least she knows who really runs this house.
09:52Babe, feed me.
09:54Anything you want.
10:02Forget it.
10:03I won't let her come between me and Luca.
10:05I've lost my appetite.
10:07You two go ahead.
10:12Luca, come see me in the study later.
10:15We need to talk about your wedding alone.
10:18Okay, Mom.
10:26Luca, she's just your adoptive mom.
10:28Why does she get a say in our wedding?
10:30Don't, Vanessa.
10:32Mom matters a lot to me.
10:34I'm going to see Mom in the study.
10:36Pick any room you like.
10:40Playing the queen just because she's the adoptive mom?
10:43If Luca won't teach you some manners,
10:46I will.
10:51What are you doing?
10:53Oh, it's you.
10:55Who said you could come into my room?
10:58Your room?
10:59I'm Luca's fiance.
11:00This whole house is mine.
11:02I'll sleep wherever I want.
11:06A fossil like you probably doesn't get it.
11:09Girls my age dress a little more open.
11:11Not like you.
11:13Not an ounce of sex appeal.
11:14No wonder no man wants you at your age.
11:17In the Valenti family,
11:18sex appeal isn't a job requirement.
11:21Get out of my room.
11:22Now.
11:22I'm not going anywhere.
11:24This room's mine.
11:28Ooh, what a gorgeous ruby.
11:31Don't touch that.
11:32You say don't?
11:34So I will.
11:38Serafina, you'd pull a gun on me?
11:40I'll have Luca throw you out of this house.
11:43Throw me out?
11:45Let me show you who runs this house.
11:47Someone get in here.
11:50Throw her out.
11:52Didn't you hear, ma'am?
11:53Move.
11:54Let go of me!
11:56Serafina, you can't do this to me!
11:58Luca will make you pay!
12:03One more word,
12:04and I'll shut you up for good.
12:15I'm Luca's fiance.
12:17You can't do this.
12:18I don't accept you.
12:20Luca!
12:21Help!
12:21Your mom's trying to kill me!
12:24Mom, what's going on?
12:25Put the gun down!
12:26You're scaring Vanessa!
12:33Babe, your mom looks down on me.
12:34She thinks I'm too low class for you.
12:36She hit me, and she had the servants throw me out.
12:39I told you to pick a room.
12:41Why are you in mom's room?
12:44Luca, did you tell her she could take my room?
12:47Mom, I swear I didn't.
12:48I never told her to touch your room.
12:56Sweetheart, I said any room except this one, didn't I?
12:59I just wanted a big room.
13:01You know, I never had a room of my own growing up.
13:03Mom's room is the biggest.
13:04I loved it so much.
13:08I'm sorry, sweetheart.
13:09I didn't think about what you needed.
13:11I shouldn't have snapped.
13:12It's not your fault.
13:14Mom, I'll have someone clean up the room.
13:16Please don't be mad at Vanessa, okay?
13:18And if I say no?
13:21Luca's the head of this house.
13:22Who are you to defy the future godfather?
13:26I'm his mother.
13:29Hey, mom.
13:31She's young.
13:31She doesn't know any better.
13:33Don't stoop to her level.
13:35Luca, are you sure you want to marry someone like this?
13:38He's my fiancé.
13:39Don't try to turn him against me.
13:41He was my son before he was ever your fiancé.
13:45Mom, please.
13:46Forgive Vanessa.
13:47She just never had anyone love her.
13:49She didn't mean to disrespect you.
13:53Never being loved doesn't give her the right to run wild in front of me.
13:57The future godfather's wife can't be someone like this.
14:00Mom, give us one more chance, please.
14:02I'll make sure she behaves.
14:04I'm sorry.
14:05I was wrong.
14:06Mom, she apologized.
14:08Please forgive her.
14:12Fine.
14:13I'll give you one chance.
14:15Teach her some manners.
14:17If she provokes me again,
14:18she'll answer to Valenti family law.
14:28An adoptive mom threatening me with family law?
14:31Dream on.
14:44Serafina, open it.
14:47The blood ring?
14:49This is the godfather's ring.
14:51You're giving it to me?
14:52The Valenti family is yours now.
14:54One day, when you find someone worthy,
14:56pass the ring to them.
14:57The Valenti line must never be broken.
15:01Father,
15:02I understand.
15:11Father,
15:12Godmother,
15:12is the Luca of today fit to wear the Valenti ring?
15:17Godmother,
15:18is the wound bothering you again?
15:19No.
15:20It just itches when the seasons change.
15:22I tried to talk you out of it back then.
15:25It's all right.
15:27If I had to do it again,
15:28I'd make the same choice.
15:33Have someone look into who Vanessa was seeing
15:35before she met Luca.
15:36Yes,
15:37Godmother.
15:52The blood ring's gone.
15:54Enzo!
15:55Ma'am?
15:56Pull the security footage.
16:13You'd lay hands on the family's blood ring?
16:16Vanessa,
16:17you've got some nerve.
16:19Tell Luca to get in here.
16:21Now.
16:25Mom,
16:25what happened?
16:26Your fiance crept into my studio
16:28in the middle of the night
16:29and stole the family's blood ring.
16:31No way.
16:31Vanessa's not like that.
16:35Mom,
16:36there's got to be some misunderstanding.
16:38She was probably just messing around.
16:41The Valenti blood ring is a toy to you two?
16:45Luca,
16:46get her back here and get my ring back.
16:48And then...
16:49And then what?
16:53Mom,
16:54please.
16:55Don't handle her the family way.
16:58Luca,
16:58you're the next godfather
16:59of the Valenti family.
17:01And you're on your knees
17:02for a thief?
17:03Mom,
17:04you don't know what she did for me.
17:05What?
17:06Three years ago,
17:07when my kidneys failed
17:08and I was dying,
17:09Vanessa went to the hospital,
17:10got tested,
17:11and gave me one of hers.
17:12The Valenti family
17:14always pays its debts.
17:16I owe her.
17:17I'll never be able to pay her back.
17:21But the one who saved you was...
17:25Mom,
17:26give me one more chance.
17:27I'll go find Vanessa right now
17:29and make her give it back.
17:35The one who saved you
17:37was me.
17:38I gave him that kidney.
17:41Why does Luca think
17:42it was Vanessa?
17:44I have to find out.
17:47Ma'am!
17:48Trouble.
17:49Vanessa's thrown a party
17:50at the Ancestral House
17:51with a whole crowd
17:52of her relatives.
17:53What?
17:54That's where every
17:55Valenti Don
17:55is laid to rest,
17:56the most sacred ground
17:57this family has.
17:58How dare she bring people there?
18:00I'm going.
18:01Vanessa,
18:02I gave you your chance.
18:14Holy crap!
18:15One bottle of this
18:16is three months rent!
18:17One of these pearls
18:17would feed us for a year!
18:21Yeah!
18:23She told me not to touch it.
18:25I'm not just touching it,
18:26I'm wearing it.
18:28See this?
18:29The blood ring?
18:30The symbol
18:31of the Valenti Godfather.
18:34Oh my God,
18:35I've only ever seen
18:36this ring on the news!
18:37Vanessa!
18:38You've made it!
18:41An adoptive mother
18:42hogging the blood ring?
18:44Please,
18:45I'm the future lady
18:46of the Valenti family.
18:48The ring of power
18:49belongs to me.
18:51All hail the queen!
18:58Vanessa, my girl,
18:59they've got some nice stuff
19:00in this place.
19:01Okay, if we take
19:02a few things home?
19:03Take whatever you want.
19:04Don't be shy.
19:14Vanessa Valanti
19:15has a nice ring to it.
19:20Who's there?
19:29Serafina?
19:35Serafina?
19:37Vanessa,
19:38every Valenti Don
19:39lies at rest
19:39in this house.
19:42What are you
19:44that you think
19:45you can stand here?
19:49I'm Luca's fiancee,
19:51the future lady
19:52of the Valenti family.
19:53Of course I belong here!
19:55As long as I don't
19:55accept you,
19:56you are not a Valenti.
19:57Take that ring off.
20:00Luca gave me this.
20:02Why should you get it?
20:03Did Luca give it to you
20:04or did you steal it?
20:07You know the answer.
20:09I, I don't know
20:10what you're talking about.
20:13For Luca's sake,
20:14I've given you
20:14chance after chance.
20:16Take off that ring
20:17and get your people
20:18out of here.
20:19Now!
20:22Luca's the heir!
20:23Who are you
20:24to throw me out?
20:25Luca's the heir, yes.
20:27Without me,
20:27he's nothing.
20:28I don't know
20:29what you mean.
20:30When Luca takes over,
20:32this ring's mine anyway.
20:33You know,
20:34whatever I ask for,
20:34Luca gives me.
20:35You're that sure
20:36he'll say yes?
20:37Of course!
20:38I'm his...
20:38His what?
20:40The one who saved his life?
20:42That's right.
20:43I saved Luca's life.
20:45The Valentis owe me forever.
20:46The one who gave Luca
20:47a kidney, a chen,
20:49three years ago
20:50wasn't you.
20:52If it wasn't me,
20:53then who?
20:55You?
20:57You guessed it.
20:58It was...
21:04Vanessa,
21:05you called up a girl
21:06for your uncle?
21:07Look at the body
21:08on this one.
21:08I like her.
21:23Serafina,
21:24how dare you
21:25touch my uncle?
21:27Why wouldn't I?
21:28What is he?
21:31What did you just say to me?
21:32You witch!
21:33You hit me!
21:34You're gonna pay for this!
21:37Oh!
21:39Oh!
21:46Do you know what happened
21:47to the last man
21:48who disrespected me?
21:50What?
21:57My hand!
22:04I'll tell Luca
22:05exactly what happened
22:06here today.
22:08Vanessa,
22:09you will never be part
22:10of the Valenti family.
22:12I can't let her leave.
22:14If she walks out that door,
22:16I'm finished.
22:20What did you just put in me?
22:23Gas.
22:39Luca,
22:40help me.
22:43Vanessa,
22:44I came to...
22:45Babe!
22:46What are you doing here?
22:52Let go!
23:06Vanessa,
23:08why is there a streak of blood
23:09on the floor?
23:10I knocked over some ketchup.
23:12Babe,
23:12what did you come
23:13to see me about?
23:17Oh my god!
23:18Is that for me?
23:20It is.
23:22But first,
23:22you have to give mom
23:23back the blood ring.
23:26Vanessa,
23:26why'd you take it
23:27without telling me?
23:28I was just curious.
23:29I wanted to try it on.
23:30I'll give it back
23:31to her in a bit.
23:32Don't be mad, okay?
23:33Okay?
23:40What was that?
23:47Don't beep!
23:48What's wrong?
23:49My uncle's in there
23:50catching a rat.
23:53You bitch.
23:55Try to get someone in here
23:56and I'll kill you.
24:00Catching a rat
24:01makes that much noise?
24:03It must have gotten
24:04into the toilet.
24:05He's getting it out!
24:08Damn rat!
24:10Take that!
24:11Scaring my niece!
24:12Babe,
24:13you know rats
24:13terrify me.
24:14If you open that door
24:16and it gets out,
24:16I'll freak.
24:19Okay, okay.
24:20I won't go in.
24:21Don't be scared, baby.
24:23Let's move away from it.
24:25I've got to get
24:26Luca out of here.
24:27Babe,
24:28I want a coffee.
24:29Would you go get me one?
24:30Sure.
24:32I'll go right now.
24:40Finally.
24:47What do we do?
24:48If this blows up,
24:49the Valentines will kill us!
24:56Then she doesn't walk out
24:58that door,
24:58we kill her.
25:01So does that mean
25:01I get to?
25:02Of course.
25:04It's been a long time
25:05since you had a woman,
25:05Uncle.
25:06That's my girl?
25:08After today,
25:10all of New York
25:11will know that you,
25:12Serafina,
25:13are a whore
25:13who rolled around
25:14with some stranger
25:15in the family shrine.
25:17Uncle,
25:17go ahead.
25:20Luca!
25:23The number you have dialed
25:25is temporarily unavailable.
25:26Why isn't Mom picking up?
25:28Is she really that mad?
25:32Whatever.
25:33Coffee for Vanessa first,
25:34then I'll go make up with Mom.
25:37Master Luca,
25:38where's the godmother?
25:39Mom?
25:40Isn't she at home?
25:41Right after you left,
25:42she heard Vanessa
25:43was throwing a party here
25:44with her family
25:44and she came alone.
25:45Now she's not answering her phone.
25:47I'm afraid the colds
25:48will hurt her!
25:50Enzo,
25:50you worry too much.
25:51Vanessa's so sweet,
25:52her family's got to be good people.
25:53Nobody's going to hurt Mom.
25:55Master Luca,
25:56how can you be so blind?
25:58Everyone,
25:58with me!
26:02Something's really wrong.
26:09Still want to run
26:10crying to Luca?
26:11Not a chance.
26:13Uncle,
26:13keep going.
26:19A high society lady!
26:21When I'm done with her,
26:22you boys can all have a turn.
26:28Do you know
26:29who you're touching?
26:31I'm the godmother
26:32of the Valenti fam!
26:33I don't give a shit
26:35who you are!
26:36I'm having you today.
26:38You two,
26:39hold our hands!
26:48You bitch,
26:49you kicked me?
26:57You bitch,
26:58you bit my finger off!
27:00I'll kill you!
27:11Die!
27:18Godmother!
27:19Mom!
27:39They're getting away!
27:41And we're out of ammo!
27:42Who says we're out?
27:44I'm flying the biggest round
27:45we've got.
27:49Godmother,
27:50don't!
27:56She's crazy!
27:58She's taking us all
27:59down with her!
28:15Godmother!
28:20Godmother!
28:36Don't live the godmother!
28:38Godmother,
28:39every last one of them
28:40is gone.
28:41We won!
28:41Run!
28:44Run!
28:45Run!
28:46Run!
28:46Run!
28:46Run!
28:47Godmother,
28:48Master Luca
28:49is getting married!
28:50Which family's daughter?
28:51Not one of the families.
28:54She's from Brooklyn.
28:55Grew up in foster homes.
29:01Before I knew it,
29:04Luca's getting married.
29:0820 years ago,
29:10Luca's father died for me.
29:18His mother died giving birth to him
29:20and now his father's gone too.
29:22What's going to happen
29:23to this baby?
29:29From today on,
29:30he's my son.
29:38I raised him.
29:39I gave him everything.
29:43I'd have given my life.
29:45Godmother,
29:46are you really giving
29:46Master Luca your kidney?
29:48He's my son.
29:49If it saves him,
29:50what's one kidney?
29:52Will you tell him?
29:53No.
29:54I'm saving my own child.
29:56He doesn't owe me anything.
30:01We don't share blood,
30:03but in my heart,
30:04he's my own son.
30:08I'm coming home tonight.
30:17Welcome home,
30:18Godmother.
30:20Where's Luca?
30:22Master Luca meant to come,
30:23but Miss Vanessa
30:24sent him out for a cake.
30:25He asked me to take you home first.
30:28Let's go.
30:31Uncle,
30:31I'm almost at Luca's.
30:33Once he takes over the family,
30:35I'm the godfather's wife.
30:37Every big shot in New York
30:38will be jumping
30:39when I say so.
30:40Godmother,
30:42Miss Vanessa comes from nothing.
30:43She's no match for Master Luca.
30:45It doesn't matter.
30:46I trust his judgment.
30:48As long as he loves her,
30:49I'm behind him all the way.
30:52Dad!
30:54It's okay, honey.
30:58My baby!
31:07Watch out!
31:27My car!
31:32Are you insane?
31:34Where the hell did you come from?
31:36You nearly killed a child.
31:38Nearly.
31:39The kid's fine, isn't it?
31:41My car's not.
31:42You know what this car costs?
31:43Sell you on the black market
31:44and you still couldn't pay for one window.
31:46Which matters more,
31:47a car or a person?
31:49Be grateful you're not a murderer.
31:51Don't try to scare me.
31:53You want money, right?
31:59Take the money
32:00and get out of my way!
32:09Godmother,
32:10say the word
32:11and I'll have her on her knees apologizing.
32:15Let it go.
32:16Luca's fiance is waiting.
32:19I'm not wasting time
32:20on someone like that.
32:29Godmother,
32:29someone of your standing
32:30shouldn't be doing this.
32:31It's the first time
32:32Luca's brought a girl home.
32:33If I cook for her myself,
32:34she'll know she matters.
32:35Oh, the gift?
32:36The French Empress's own necklace.
32:38There isn't another like it in the world.
32:41You're really giving it
32:42to a girl you've never met?
32:43As long as she loves Luca,
32:45nothing's too precious.
32:50Mum!
32:54You're about to get married
32:55and you're still such a kid.
32:59I haven't seen you in forever.
33:01I missed you so much.
33:04Mum,
33:05Vanessa's almost here.
33:06She's the kindest girl
33:07I've ever met.
33:08She just never had a family,
33:09so she's not great
33:10with older people.
33:11If she says something wrong,
33:12don't be mad at her.
33:14She's not even here yet
33:16and you're already
33:17protecting her?
33:18Because I really love her.
33:20Girls as sweet
33:21and innocent as her
33:22are so rare.
33:24Alright.
33:24Mum, trust your judgment.
33:26You're the best, Mum!
33:27If you chose her,
33:28she must be wonderful.
33:31That must be Vanessa.
33:36Hey, sweetheart,
33:37you made it!
33:38Mum,
33:38this is my fiancée,
33:39Vanessa.
33:40It's you.
33:42It's you!
33:45She's Luca's mother?
33:47You want money, right?
33:54Mum,
33:55sweetheart,
33:56you two know each other?
33:58No!
34:00I pissed her off.
34:01What if she won't
34:02let me marry Luca?
34:03Okay,
34:04let me do this properly.
34:06This is my mother,
34:07Serafina.
34:08If she hadn't adopted me,
34:09I'd probably have frozen
34:10to death on some street
34:11in New York.
34:12Adopted?
34:13Just the adoptive mom.
34:14Then I've got nothing
34:15to worry about.
34:16Look at her.
34:16She can't be anybody
34:17in the Valenti family.
34:18Vanessa,
34:19say hi.
34:20Mrs. Valenti?
34:22Hi.
34:22I got this for you.
34:26If Luca loves her,
34:28I should support him.
34:29Maybe this morning
34:30was a misunderstanding.
34:31Mom,
34:31you're the best.
34:32Vanessa,
34:33say thank you.
34:33Called it.
34:34Sucking up to me already.
34:37Thanks.
34:38I love it.
34:45Luca,
34:46give me the tour?
34:46Yes, ma'am.
34:52I'll watch her
34:52a little longer.
34:54Vanessa,
34:55it's your first time here.
34:56Mom cooked tonight's
34:57dinner herself
34:57just for you.
34:59I don't eat rosemary.
35:00Leave it out next time.
35:05Uncle,
35:06the Valenti's
35:06are even richer
35:07than I thought.
35:07Once I marry in,
35:08all of this is ours.
35:15Mom,
35:16this lamb's so tender.
35:17Try it.
35:22I haven't even started.
35:23Who said you could eat first?
35:30What did you say?
35:31You've got some nerve
35:32eating first.
35:34Do you even see me
35:35sitting here?
35:36Sweetheart,
35:37this one's great too.
35:38Try it.
35:38I don't want that one.
35:40The first serving
35:41goes to the guest.
35:42You're how old
35:43and you still don't know
35:44basic manners?
35:48Say that again.
35:50Mom,
35:50please don't be mad.
35:52She's just a little
35:53hot temple.
35:53She doesn't mean
35:54anything by it.
35:55Please forgive her.
35:57For Luca.
35:58One more time.
36:00If she wants it,
36:02give it to her.
36:03Thanks, Mom.
36:03Just like I thought,
36:05she only gets to live here
36:07because of Luca.
36:08At least she knows
36:09who really runs this house.
36:11Babe,
36:12feed me.
36:14Anything you want.
36:21Forget it.
36:22I won't let her come
36:23between me and Luca.
36:25I've lost my appetite.
36:26You two go ahead.
36:31Luca,
36:33come see me
36:33in the study later.
36:35We need to talk
36:35about your wedding
36:36alone.
36:38Okay, Mom.
36:45Luca,
36:46she's just
36:47your adoptive mom.
36:48Why does she get a say
36:49in our wedding?
36:50Don't, Vanessa.
36:52Mom matters a lot to me.
36:53I'm going to see Mom
36:54in the study.
36:55Pick any room you like.
37:00Playing the queen
37:00just because she's
37:01the adoptive mom.
37:03If Luca won't teach
37:04you some manners,
37:05I will.
37:11What are you doing?
37:13Oh, it's you.
37:15Who said you could
37:16come into my room?
37:17Your room?
37:18I'm Luca's fiance.
37:20This whole house is mine.
37:22I'll sleep wherever I want.
37:26A fossil like you
37:27probably doesn't get it.
37:28Girls my age
37:29dress a little more
37:30open.
37:31Not like you.
37:32Not an ounce
37:33of sex appeal.
37:34No wonder no man
37:35wants you at your age.
37:36In the Valenti family,
37:38sex appeal
37:39isn't a job requirement.
37:41Get out of my room.
37:42Now.
37:42I'm not going anywhere.
37:44This room's mine.
37:47Ooh, what a gorgeous
37:49ruby.
37:50Don't touch that.
37:52You say don't?
37:53So I will.
37:58Serafina, you'd pull a gun
37:59on me?
37:59I'll have Luca throw you
38:01out of this house.
38:03Throw me out?
38:04Let me show you who
38:05runs this house.
38:07Someone get in here.
38:10Throw her out.
38:12Didn't you hear, ma'am?
38:13Move!
38:14Let go of me!
38:16Serafina, you can't
38:17do this to me!
38:17Luca will make you pay!
38:23One more word
38:24and I'll shut you up
38:25for good.
38:35I'm Luca's fiance.
38:36You can't do this.
38:38I don't accept you.
38:39Luca!
38:40Luca, help!
38:41Your mom's trying
38:41to kill me!
38:44Mom, what's going on?
38:45Put the gun down!
38:46You're scaring Vanessa!
38:52Babe, your mom
38:53looks down on me.
38:54She thinks I'm
38:54too low class for you.
38:56She hit me
38:56and she had the servants
38:57throw me out.
38:59I told you to pick a room.
39:01Why are you in
39:02Mom's room?
39:04Luca, did you tell her
39:05she could take my room?
39:07Mom, I swear I didn't.
39:08I never told her
39:08to touch your room.
39:15Sweetheart, I said
39:16any room except this one,
39:17didn't I?
39:18I just wanted a big room.
39:20You know, I never had
39:21a room of my own
39:22growing up.
39:23Mom's room is the biggest.
39:24I loved it so much.
39:27I'm sorry, sweetheart.
39:28I didn't think about
39:29what you needed.
39:30I shouldn't have snapped.
39:31It's not your fault.
39:34Mom, I'll have someone
39:35clean up the room.
39:35Please don't be mad
39:36at Vanessa, okay?
39:38And if I say no?
39:40Luca's the head
39:41of this house.
39:42Who are you to defy
39:43the future godfather?
39:45I'm his mother.
39:49Hey, Mom.
39:50She's young.
39:51She doesn't know any better.
39:52Don't stoop to her level.
39:54Luca, are you sure
39:55you want to marry
39:56someone like this?
39:57He's my fiancé.
39:59Don't try to turn him
40:00against me.
40:00He was my son
40:02before he was ever
40:03your fiancé.
40:04Mom, please.
40:06Forgive Vanessa.
40:07She just never had
40:08anyone love her.
40:08She didn't mean
40:09to disrespect you.
40:13Never being loved
40:14doesn't give her the right
40:15to run wild in front of me.
40:16The future godfather's wife
40:18can't be someone like this.
40:19Mom, give us
40:20one more chance, please.
40:21I'll make sure she behaves.
40:24I'm sorry.
40:25I was wrong.
40:26Mom, she apologized.
40:27Please forgive her.
40:32Fine.
40:33I'll give you one chance.
40:35Teach her some manners.
40:36If she provokes me again,
40:38she'll answer to
40:39Valenti family law.
40:47An adoptive mom
40:49threatening me
40:50with family law?
40:51Dream on.
41:04Seraphina, open it.
41:07The blood ring?
41:08This is the godfather's ring.
41:10You're giving it to me?
41:11The Valenti family
41:12is yours now.
41:14One day,
41:14when you find someone worthy,
41:15pass the ring to them.
41:17The Valenti line
41:18must never be broken.
41:20Father,
41:21I understand.
41:31Father,
41:32is the Luca of today
41:33fit to wear the Valenti ring?
41:37Godmother,
41:37is the wound bothering you again?
41:39No.
41:39It just itches
41:40when the seasons change.
41:42I tried to talk you
41:43out of it back then.
41:45It's all right.
41:46If I had to do it again,
41:48I'd make the same choice.
41:52Have someone look into
41:53who Vanessa was seeing
41:54before she met Luca.
41:56Yes, godmother.
42:11The blood ring's gone.
42:13Enzo!
42:14Ma'am?
42:16Pull the security footage.
42:32You'd lay hands
42:33on the family's blood ring?
42:36Vanessa,
42:37you've got some nerve.
42:39Tell Luca to get in here.
42:41Now.
42:44Mom,
42:45what happened?
42:46Your fiancé
42:46crept into my studio
42:47in the middle of the night
42:48and stole the family's blood ring.
42:50No way!
42:51Vanessa's not like that!
42:55Mom,
42:56there's got to be
42:56some misunderstanding.
42:58She was probably
42:58just messing around.
43:01The Valenti blood ring
43:02is a toy to you two?
43:04Luca,
43:05get her back here
43:06and get my ring back.
43:08And then...
43:08And then what?
43:13Mom,
43:13please.
43:14Don't handle her
43:15the family way.
43:17Luca,
43:18you're the next godfather
43:19of the Valenti family.
43:20And you're on your knees
43:22for a thief?
43:23Mom,
43:23you don't know
43:24what she did for me.
43:25What?
43:25Three years ago
43:26when my kidneys failed
43:27and I was dying,
43:28Vanessa went to the hospital,
43:30got tested,
43:30and gave me one of hers.
43:32The Valenti family
43:33always pays its debts.
43:35I owe her.
43:37I'll never be able
43:38to pay her back!
43:41But the one who saved you
43:42was...
43:44Mom,
43:45give me one more chance.
43:47I'll go find Vanessa
43:48right now
43:48and make her give it back.
44:00I'll go find Vanessa
44:02and make her give it back.
44:06Ma'am!
44:07Trouble.
44:08Vanessa's thrown a party
44:09at the Ancestral House
44:10with a whole crowd
44:11of her relatives!
44:12What?
44:14That's where every
44:14Valenti Don is laid to rest,
44:16the most sacred ground
44:17this family has.
44:18How dare she bring people there?
44:20I'm going.
44:21Vanessa,
44:22I gave you your chance.
44:33Holy crap!
44:34One bottle of this
44:35is three months rent!
44:36One of these pearls
44:37would feed us for a year!
44:40Yeah!
44:42She told me not to touch it.
44:44I'm not just touching it,
44:46I'm wearing it.
44:47See this?
44:48The blood ring?
44:50The symbol
44:51of the Valenti Godfather.
44:53Oh my God,
44:55I've only ever seen
44:55this ring on the news!
44:57Vanessa!
44:58You've made it!
45:00An adoptive mother
45:02hogging the blood ring?
45:04Please,
45:04I'm the future lady
45:06of the Valenti family.
45:07The ring of power
45:08belongs to me.
45:10All hail the Queen!
45:17Vanessa, my girl,
45:18they've got some nice stuff
45:19in this place.
45:20Okay, if we take
45:21a few things home?
45:22Take whatever you want.
45:24Don't be shy.
45:33Vanessa Valenti
45:35has a nice ring to it.
45:40Who's there?
45:48Serafina?
45:56Serafina?

45:58lies at rest
