Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Mr. Vail, I need you.
00:00:03I'm on my way. Whatever it is, yes.
00:00:05So your grandfather booked the date for after your father's mass?
00:00:08Yes.
00:00:09Childhood piano lesson guy?
00:00:11Yes. Tucker Sutton?
00:00:13Got it.
00:00:16Clear tomorrow morning. I have something.
00:00:20Chira Moretti?
00:00:22Yeah.
00:00:23Wear black tomorrow. You're going to your father's mass.
00:00:26Not a date.
00:00:29I sit there. My throat's tight.
00:00:31First time since dad died that someone stood in front of me again.
00:00:34I loved Uncle Griff for ten years.
00:00:36He kept turning me down like he was family.
00:00:39Then he married my sister.
00:00:41The day he married her, I got on a plane to Europe.
00:00:43Before I took off, Griffin's text wouldn't stop.
00:00:46Chira, where are you?
00:00:49Text me back. You don't want me finding you.
00:00:51Griffin was the only son of my father's business partner.
00:00:54After his parents died in an accident,
00:00:56my father brought him into the Morelli house.
00:00:58On paper, I was supposed to call him Uncle Griffin.
00:01:01Francesca was sick her whole childhood.
00:01:02Mom poured everything into her.
00:01:04All I had was Griffin.
00:01:06Every time I got into trouble,
00:01:08Griffin put himself in front of me.
00:01:09Don't be scared. I've got you.
00:01:11And for years, he did.
00:01:13I thought he'd always be the one in front of me.
00:01:15Until he married my sister.
00:01:23Three years ago, I went to France
00:01:24and built a life that actually held.
00:01:28I wouldn't have come back to New York
00:01:30if it weren't for Dad's three-year memorial mass.
00:01:32First day back at JFC,
00:01:33I barely clear arrivals before someone stops me.
00:01:36My brother-in-law,
00:01:37the one who actually runs the Moretti house now,
00:01:39in the papers Dad left,
00:01:41the man in charge of me and my share,
00:01:43Griffin DeLuca.
00:01:44And right now, he's got my hand.
00:01:47Chiara.
00:01:47That's what he called me when I was little.
00:01:49After I told him I loved him at 16,
00:01:51he never said it like that again.
00:01:53Chiara Moretti.
00:01:54Three years.
00:01:55You hid from me for three years.
00:01:57How much longer?
00:01:59Wedding band.
00:02:00My sisters.
00:02:02They've been married three years.
00:02:03The day Dad died,
00:02:05I stood in the doorway shaking.
00:02:06I couldn't stop crying.
00:02:08Then Griffin came up behind me and held on.
00:02:10Chiara.
00:02:11Don't be scared.
00:02:12I'm here.
00:02:14I'll take care of you.
00:02:15Whatever happens,
00:02:17I'm not leaving you.
00:02:18I believed him
00:02:19until that family dinner after the funeral.
00:02:22That night, Grandpa said it in front of everyone.
00:02:24Griffin was going to marry Francesca.
00:02:26Let go.
00:02:27Where are you going?
00:02:30Not on my way.
00:02:33He looks at me for a second.
00:02:35Then he lets go,
00:02:36turns,
00:02:37and pulls a bunch of white lilies out of the car.
00:02:39You're going to St. Michael's Cemetery.
00:02:41That on your way now?
00:02:42I look at the flowers.
00:02:43My throat goes tight.
00:02:45He knows the second I land,
00:02:46I go to Dad.
00:02:47Three years later,
00:02:48he still knows me,
00:02:49and he still chose to turn on me
00:02:50when I had nothing left.
00:02:52Same as everybody else.
00:02:53When I heard Griffin was marrying Francesca,
00:02:55the glass went straight out of my hand.
00:02:57Francesca turns and smiles at me.
00:02:59It looks like a win.
00:03:00I lose it.
00:03:02When you said no,
00:03:04you said you were like an uncle in this house.
00:03:06You couldn't want me?
00:03:07So what is marrying Francesca?
00:03:09She's family too.
00:03:13It's different.
00:03:14How?
00:03:14Chiara,
00:03:16you're stronger than she is.
00:03:17You'll be fine without me.
00:03:19That word again.
00:03:20It's the one everyone loves when they talk about me.
00:03:24I was never born strong.
00:03:26I just learned early that some things,
00:03:28you carry alone.
00:03:30Because every pair of eyes in that house was on Francesca.
00:03:33Nobody was looking at me.
00:03:34Griffin was the only one who ever saw me break.
00:03:37And he knew it.
00:03:39Griffin DeLuca,
00:03:40you shut me down like this today,
00:03:42I'm not coming back.
00:03:43He doesn't answer.
00:03:44The next day,
00:03:45I fly to Paris.
00:03:46Get in the car,
00:03:46Chiana.
00:03:47Mass.
00:03:49Your father's mass is set.
00:03:50Tomorrow morning.
00:03:51I hesitate.
00:03:52Then I get in.
00:03:54Not because I want to sit next to him.
00:03:56Because a memorial mass
00:03:57isn't something I can throw together
00:03:58because I happened to land.
00:04:00Your room's how you left it.
00:04:01Someone cleans it every week.
00:04:03That monstay of yours is still alive.
00:04:06Repotted twice.
00:04:07Grandpa wants to see you.
00:04:09After the mass.
00:04:10If you really don't want to go back,
00:04:11I'll handle it.
00:04:12Don't.
00:04:12I'll deal with it.
00:04:14And I'm staying at a hotel.
00:04:15By the time the car pulled up
00:04:17at the gates of St. Michael's Cemetery,
00:04:19dusk was falling.
00:04:20I'll wait here.
00:04:21Don't.
00:04:22I'll get back on my own.
00:04:23Shara Moretti.
00:04:25Go see your father.
00:04:26I'll wait.
00:04:26You come out, I leave.
00:04:27Not before.
00:04:30Dad's plot is a good one.
00:04:32It looks out over open water.
00:04:34Griffin picked it.
00:04:35It's quiet.
00:04:37Your father would have liked it.
00:04:39I walk closer,
00:04:40and someone's already there.
00:04:42Francesca.
00:04:43Chiara.
00:04:44I knew you'd come see Dad first.
00:04:47What are you doing here?
00:04:49I'm his daughter too.
00:04:50The mass is tomorrow.
00:04:51I wanted a minute with him first.
00:04:53I don't answer her.
00:04:55I take a handkerchief out of my bag
00:04:57and wipe the photo on the stone.
00:04:59It was taken when he was 40.
00:05:01I know that face.
00:05:03That's how he looked every time
00:05:04he left one of my school things.
00:05:06Dad went so fast.
00:05:08You left right after the funeral.
00:05:11There are things I never got to say to you.
00:05:13Chiara.
00:05:20Chiara.
00:05:20I know you never got over me and Griffin.
00:05:22I never wanted to take anything from you.
00:05:24These years haven't been easy on him either.
00:05:26If you need someone to blame,
00:05:28blame me.
00:05:29Not him.
00:05:30I'm not blaming you.
00:05:32Griffin.
00:05:33Why are you up here?
00:05:35You said you'd wait in the car.
00:05:36You two weren't coming down.
00:05:37I came to check.
00:05:39Wind's bad up here.
00:05:40You shouldn't stand out long.
00:05:41I'm fine.
00:05:42You too.
00:05:44Chiara just got off a plane
00:05:45and you brought her straight here.
00:05:46You couldn't let her rest first?
00:05:49I'm gonna go.
00:05:50Dad, I'll come back tomorrow.
00:05:52Chiara, where are you staying?
00:05:54Let Griffin take you.
00:05:55You shouldn't-
00:05:55Don't.
00:05:56I don't look back.
00:05:57I'm basically running.
00:05:59At the gate, I flag a cab.
00:06:01Hyatt, please.
00:06:04We're not far before my phone buzzes.
00:06:06Griffin's number.
00:06:07I don't pick up.
00:06:08It dies out.
00:06:09Then a text.
00:06:10Chiara, three years ago wasn't what you think.
00:06:13Let me explain.
00:06:14It's fully dark by the time I get to the hotel.
00:06:17Checking in.
00:06:20Mrs. Moretta, your key.
00:06:22Thanks.
00:06:24I take it and head for the elevator.
00:06:26The elevator climbs.
00:06:30Eighteen.
00:06:31And someone I didn't expect.
00:06:33Miss Chiana, your grandfather sent me.
00:06:36The car's downstairs.
00:06:38The house is the same.
00:06:41Arthur is leading me through the foyer
00:06:43toward the dining room.
00:06:45Three years, and you don't even say hello?
00:06:48Grandpa.
00:06:50Your father's memorial, and you cut it this close,
00:06:53like it isn't even yours.
00:06:55She's back.
00:06:56That's enough.
00:06:57Your sister's been sick,
00:06:58and she's still been handling all of this.
00:07:00You could at least thank her.
00:07:03Mom, it's fine.
00:07:05Chiara just got off a plane.
00:07:06She's still on Paris time.
00:07:09Let's talk.
00:07:10Griffin's got tomorrow handled.
00:07:12After the mass, Chiara,
00:07:14you're not going back to Europe.
00:07:16You're 23.
00:07:17You can't keep floating around out there.
00:07:19Grandpa, I have a job over there.
00:07:21Tucker Seton.
00:07:22You remember him?
00:07:24Piano lessons when you were kids?
00:07:26Your mother and I think he's a good match.
00:07:28After the mass tomorrow,
00:07:30you sit down with him.
00:07:32Grandpa, I don't need you setting me up.
00:07:34You don't?
00:07:35You've been out there alone for three years.
00:07:38Your sister had her marriage settled at your age.
00:07:40I'm not going.
00:07:41What did you say?
00:07:42I said I'm not going.
00:07:43I'm not Francesca.
00:07:45I don't need anyone else running my life.
00:07:48I arranged your sister's marriage, too.
00:07:51You saying I got that wrong?
00:07:53Helia.
00:07:54You will not speak to your grandfather that way.
00:07:57Three years gone,
00:07:58and this is how you talk to your grandfather?
00:08:00Your sister's been sick her whole life,
00:08:02and she's never given this family extra trouble.
00:08:04Your father dies,
00:08:06and you vanish without a word.
00:08:08Do you even care that this is your family?
00:08:10Mom, don't.
00:08:11She'll understand you and Grandpa are doing this for her.
00:08:15I need air.
00:08:18I get outside.
00:08:19Footsteps right behind me.
00:08:21Chiala, you shouldn't talk to Grandpa like...
00:08:22Griffin, what are you right now talking to me like this?
00:08:25The guy who was supposed to be my uncle?
00:08:27Or my sister's husband?
00:08:32Three years ago, you picked her.
00:08:34Then keep your distance.
00:08:36She's your wife.
00:08:38I'm just her sister.
00:08:39Remember that.
00:08:42Griffin, you came out without a coat.
00:08:44It's cold.
00:08:45Your stomach.
00:08:47Chiala, you walked out like that.
00:08:49Grandpa's furious.
00:08:50I already talked to him for you.
00:08:52I said you were just upset.
00:08:55You'll see Tucker tomorrow.
00:08:57What?
00:08:59Grandpa's old.
00:09:00Don't go head to head with him.
00:09:01It's just dinner.
00:09:02I said I'm not going.
00:09:03Who told you you could say yes for me?
00:09:09It's cold.
00:09:10Go inside.
00:09:13But, Chiala...
00:09:14I'll talk to her.
00:09:15Francesca goes in, and it's just us again.
00:09:18You shouldn't talk to her like that.
00:09:20She's sick.
00:09:20So because she's sick, she gets to hand me to some guy I don't even know?
00:09:25That's why you married her too, right?
00:09:27Because she's sick, Griffin.
00:09:30You remember what you promised me?
00:09:32You said no matter what happened, you'd be on my side.
00:09:36So whose side are you on now?
00:09:38He doesn't answer.
00:09:40I'm done waiting.
00:09:46Chia, Mom and I already talked.
00:09:49Tomorrow we'll pick what you wear to see Tucker.
00:09:51Don't.
00:09:52I'm not going.
00:09:54Chia, you still can't let go of me and Griffin.
00:09:57I never...
00:09:57Enough!
00:09:59Look at your sister.
00:10:00She's still defending you.
00:10:01And you?
00:10:02What did you say to her?
00:10:04Mom.
00:10:05Don't call me Mom.
00:10:07Anyone.
00:10:08You could have liked anyone.
00:10:10Not your sister's husband.
00:10:13My sister's husband.
00:10:15Three years ago, wasn't everyone still calling him Uncle Griffin?
00:10:19Mom.
00:10:20Growing up, Francesca was the only one you saw.
00:10:23She got sick.
00:10:24I was supposed to make room.
00:10:26She cried.
00:10:27I was supposed to make it better.
00:10:29Now she married Griffin, and you want me standing there blessing it?
00:10:32Did you ever once ask what that did to me?
00:10:35Mom.
00:10:36You've always hated your sister.
00:10:37You think she stole the man you wanted?
00:10:40There's something you don't know.
00:10:44It wasn't your grandfather pushing them together.
00:10:47Griffin asked for her.
00:10:49He said he wanted to marry Francesca.
00:10:51That's when your grandfather said yes.
00:10:55I turn.
00:10:56Griffin is in the doorway.
00:11:01Is that true?
00:11:03Yes.
00:11:05Anything you want to say?
00:11:07No.
00:11:08Griffin, get me some water.
00:11:11I don't feel well.
00:11:12Okay.
00:11:13Griffin doesn't look at me.
00:11:15He doesn't explain.
00:11:16He just walks off and comes back with a glass for her, careful, like always.
00:11:20Francesca's eyes are still red.
00:11:21Her mouth isn't.
00:11:22I know that look.
00:11:23So it wasn't Grandpa.
00:11:24It was the man who promised he'd always be behind me.
00:11:27Turns out I was the joke.
00:11:28I'm leaving.
00:11:31I wanted at 16.
00:11:32A stall at Coney Island.
00:11:34It was never worth anything.
00:11:35Griffin was with me that day.
00:11:37He stood behind me the whole time.
00:11:39Kept people from knocking into me.
00:11:43I thought that ring was us.
00:11:45That we'd stay stuck together.
00:11:47I wipe my face and flag a cab.
00:11:49I open my contacts.
00:11:51My finger stops on Mr. Vale.
00:11:52Sterling Vale.
00:11:53Eight years older.
00:11:55On Wall Street, his name and Griffin's show up in the same headlines.
00:11:58Difference is, Griffin is the one the Morettis built to handle the ugly work.
00:12:02Sterling actually runs Vale.
00:12:07Three years ago, second month in Paris, I picked up a black bag at Charles de Gallier.
00:12:11It was his.
00:12:13I owe you one.
00:12:13No matter where you are, you can call this number if you ever need anything.
00:12:16Later, I found out there was an $800 million deal in that bag.
00:12:19Three years in Paris, even when I was down to 10 euros.
00:12:23I never used that card.
00:12:25A man like Sterling doesn't make cheap promises.
00:12:30Tonight, he's the only person I can think of.
00:12:32Mr. Vale, I need you.
00:12:36I'm on my way.
00:12:37Whatever it is, yes.
00:12:41So your grandfather booked the date for after your father's mass?
00:12:44Yes.
00:12:45Childhood piano lesson guy?
00:12:47Yes.
00:12:48Tucker Sutton?
00:12:49Got it.
00:12:52Clear tomorrow morning.
00:12:53I have something.
00:12:56Chira Moretti?
00:12:58Yeah.
00:12:59Wear black tomorrow.
00:13:00You're going to your father's mass.
00:13:02Not a date.
00:13:05I sit there.
00:13:06My throat's tight.
00:13:07First time since dad died that someone stood in front of me again.
00:13:10I'm up at first light.
00:13:12Black suit.
00:13:13A little white flower on my chest.
00:13:16The wind was fierce outside St. Michael's church.
00:13:19I get there early.
00:13:20The priest is still setting up.
00:13:22Griffin arranged all of it.
00:13:23The Morettos start showing up.
00:13:25Watch the step.
00:13:26Chira!
00:13:29I don't answer her.
00:13:30I look past her.
00:13:32At Griffin.
00:13:34Time.
00:13:35The mass starts.
00:13:36I kneel in the front row and listen to the priest.
00:13:38Mom starts crying.
00:13:40Francesca too.
00:13:41Chira, I know today's a lot.
00:13:43Your sister mentioned you've been on your own in France for three years.
00:13:46It hasn't been easy.
00:13:47You're back now.
00:13:48Time to settle down.
00:13:49I can give you a home.
00:13:50Both families are here.
00:13:51Your father's watching.
00:13:52We can make the engagement official today.
00:13:54I don't want that.
00:13:56If I'm married, she doesn't have to worry about me and Griffin.
00:13:59I didn't nod.
00:14:00And I didn't say yes.
00:14:03Griffin?
00:14:03Griffin looks at me.
00:14:05Then at her.
00:14:06Then he shuts up.
00:14:07Good.
00:14:08Since Chira agreed, we'll just...
00:14:09Agreed to what?
00:14:10You just said you and my fiancé agreed to what?
00:14:13The whole church goes quiet.
00:14:15Tucker's smile is gone.
00:14:17Mr. Vane.
00:14:17Did you say fiancé?
00:14:20Mr. Moretti.
00:14:21I should have come to you properly before this.
00:14:24Today's your son's mess.
00:14:25This isn't how I wanted to say it.
00:14:27Sterling Vale.
00:14:27Only son.
00:14:28CEO of Vale Capital.
00:14:30The Morettis count in New York.
00:14:31Next to the Vales, there's still a step down.
00:14:33He dares not snap at Sterling.
00:14:35You and Chiana.
00:14:37Why did nobody in this family hear a word?
00:14:39She didn't want it public.
00:14:41We've been together a long time.
00:14:44I don't turn when we pass Griffin.
00:14:46I know he's looking.
00:14:48The black Bentley pulls away.
00:14:50The church steps shrink in the mirror.
00:14:52You're going to miss him.
00:14:54No.
00:14:55Your brother-in-law doesn't look at me like I'm a stranger.
00:14:58Chiarra Moretti.
00:15:00You brought me in to play this.
00:15:02Tucker Stanton isn't the problem.
00:15:04Griffer is.
00:15:05I don't deny it.
00:15:06Sterling's too sharp.
00:15:07I can't lie to him.
00:15:09What I can't shake is Griff is back in that church.
00:15:11Next day, Griffin's in the lobby.
00:15:13I come down for coffee, and there he is.
00:15:20Chiana, you have a minute.
00:15:21I need to talk to you.
00:15:23Say it here.
00:15:25You and Sterling.
00:15:26Is it real?
00:15:27Real or not, why is that yours?
00:15:29What are you right now, asking me that?
00:15:30The guy who was supposed to be my uncle?
00:15:32Or my sister's husband?
00:15:34He goes quiet.
00:15:36Then he takes something out of his jacket and holds it out.
00:15:39The ring I left on the hall table.
00:15:41You forgot this.
00:15:42Seven on the bot.
00:15:43Black Bentley at the door.
00:15:45He looks at the black dress.
00:15:47Nods.
00:15:48Let's go.
00:15:49In the car, he doesn't dress it up.
00:15:52Your grandfather called this afternoon.
00:15:53Polite.
00:15:54Clear.
00:15:55He wants to know if this fiancé is real.
00:15:58What are you going to say?
00:16:00The truth.
00:16:01You're my fiancé.
00:16:02We've been together a long time.
00:16:05You don't like the family in your private life, so we didn't say it.
00:16:08That's enough.
00:16:09The Morettas are not close enough to Valet to audit my personal life.
00:16:14Chiara and I have been together a long time.
00:16:16I didn't come to the family because I was waiting for the right time.
00:16:20Three years ago.
00:16:21She helped me once.
00:16:22We stayed in touch.
00:16:23Mr. Vale.
00:16:24You say you've been with her a long time.
00:16:26How well do you actually know her?
00:16:30You know what she hates to eat?
00:16:32What she's afraid of?
00:16:33How old she was when she learned to ride a bike?
00:16:35First time she got a perfect score?
00:16:37You don't.
00:16:39So what gives you the right to marry her?
00:16:42Mr. Vale.
00:16:42I need you.
00:16:45I'm on my way.
00:16:46Whatever it is, yes.
00:16:47So your grandfather booked the date for after your father's mass?
00:16:50Yes.
00:16:51Childhood piano lesson guy?
00:16:53Yes.
00:16:54Tucker Sutton?
00:16:55Got it.
00:16:58Clear tomorrow morning.
00:16:59I have something.
00:17:02Chiara Moretti.
00:17:04Yeah.
00:17:05Wear black tomorrow.
00:17:06You're going to your father's mass.
00:17:08Not a date.
00:17:11I sit there.
00:17:12My throat's tight.
00:17:13First time since dad died that someone stood in front of me again.
00:17:16I loved Uncle Griff for ten years.
00:17:18He kept turning me down like he was family.
00:17:21Then he married my sister.
00:17:22The day he married her, I got on a plane to Europe.
00:17:25Before I took off, Griffin's text wouldn't stop.
00:17:28Chiara.
00:17:29Where are you?
00:17:30Text me back.
00:17:32You don't want me finding you.
00:17:33Griffin was the only son of my father's business partner.
00:17:36After his parents died in an accident, my father brought him into the Morelli house.
00:17:40On paper, I was supposed to call him Uncle Griffin.
00:17:42Francesca was sick her whole childhood.
00:17:44Mom poured everything into her.
00:17:46All I had was Griffin.
00:17:48Every time I got into trouble, Griffin put himself in front of me.
00:17:51Don't be scared.
00:17:52I've got you.
00:17:53And for years, he did.
00:17:55I thought he'd always be the one in front of me, until he married my sister.
00:18:04Three years ago, I went to France and built a life that actually held.
00:18:10I wouldn't have come back to New York if it weren't for dad's three-year memorial mass.
00:18:14First day back at JFC, I barely clear arrivals before someone stops me.
00:18:18My brother-in-law, the one who actually runs the Moretti house now.
00:18:21In the papers dad left, the man in charge of me and my share, Griffin DeLuca.
00:18:26And right now, he's got my hand.
00:18:28Chiara.
00:18:29That's what he called me when I was little.
00:18:31After I told him I loved him at 16, he never said it like that again.
00:18:35Chiara Moretti.
00:18:36Three years.
00:18:37You hid from me for three years.
00:18:39How much longer?
00:18:41Wedding band.
00:18:42My sisters.
00:18:43They've been married three years.
00:18:45The day dad died, I stood in the doorway shaking.
00:18:48I couldn't stop crying.
00:18:50Then Griffin came up behind me and held on.
00:18:52Chiara.
00:18:53Don't be scared.
00:18:54I'm here.
00:18:56I'll take care of you.
00:18:57Whatever happens, I'm not leaving you.
00:19:00I believed him until that family dinner after the funeral.
00:19:04That night, Grandpa said it in front of everyone.
00:19:06Griffin was going to marry Francesca.
00:19:08Let go.
00:19:09Where are you going?
00:19:11Not on my way.
00:19:15He looks at me for a second.
00:19:17Then he lets go, turns, and pulls a bunch of white lilies out of the car.
00:19:21You're going to St. Michael's Cemetery.
00:19:23That on your way now?
00:19:24I look at the flowers.
00:19:25My throat goes tight.
00:19:27He knows the second I land, I go to dad.
00:19:29Three years later, he still knows me.
00:19:31And he still chose to turn on me when I had nothing left.
00:19:33Same as everybody else.
00:19:35When I heard Griffin was marrying Francesca, the glass went straight out of my hand.
00:19:39Francesca turns and smiles at me.
00:19:41It looks like a win.
00:19:44When you said no, you said you were like an uncle in this house.
00:19:48You couldn't want me?
00:19:49So what is marrying Francesca?
00:19:51She's family too!
00:19:55It's different.
00:19:56How?
00:19:57How?
00:19:57Chiara, you're stronger than she is.
00:19:59You'll be fine without me.
00:20:01That word again.
00:20:02It's the one everyone loves when they talk about me.
00:20:06I was never born strong.
00:20:08I just learned early that some things you carry alone.
00:20:11Because every pair of eyes in that house was on Francesca.
00:20:14Nobody was looking at me.
00:20:16Griffin was the only one who ever saw me break.
00:20:19And he knew it.
00:20:20Griffin DeLuca, you shut me down like this today.
00:20:23I'm not coming back.
00:20:24He doesn't answer.
00:20:26The next day, I fly to Paris.
00:20:28Get in the car, Chiana.
00:20:29Mass.
00:20:31Your father's mass is set.
00:20:32Tomorrow morning.
00:20:33I hesitate.
00:20:34Then I get in.
00:20:36Not because I want to sit next to him.
00:20:38Because a memorial mass isn't something I can throw together because I happened to land.
00:20:42Your room's how you left it.
00:20:43Someone cleans it every week.
00:20:45That monstay of yours is still alive.
00:20:48Repotted twice.
00:20:49Grandpa wants to see you.
00:20:50After the mass.
00:20:52If you really don't want to go back, I'll handle it.
00:20:54Don't.
00:20:54I'll deal with it.
00:20:55And I'm staying at a hotel.
00:20:57By the time the car pulled up at the gates of St. Michael's Cemetery, dusk was falling.
00:21:02I'll wait here.
00:21:03Don't.
00:21:04I'll get back on my own.
00:21:05Chiarra Moretti.
00:21:06Go see your father.
00:21:08I'll wait.
00:21:08You come out, I leave.
00:21:09Not before.
00:21:12Dad's plot is a good one.
00:21:14It looks out over open water.
00:21:16Griffin picked it.
00:21:17It's quiet.
00:21:19Your father would have liked it.
00:21:21I walk closer and someone's already there.
00:21:24Francesca.
00:21:25Chiarra.
00:21:26I knew you'd come see Dad first.
00:21:29What are you doing here?
00:21:30I'm his daughter, too.
00:21:32The mass is tomorrow.
00:21:33I wanted a minute with him first.
00:21:35I don't answer her.
00:21:37I take a handkerchief out of my bag and wipe the photo on the stone.
00:21:41It was taken when he was 40.
00:21:43I know that face.
00:21:45That's how he looked every time he left one of my school things.
00:21:48Dad went so fast.
00:21:50You left right after the funeral.
00:21:53There are things I never got to say to you.
00:21:55Chiarra.
00:21:57Have you been blaming me this whole time?
00:21:59For taking Griffin from you?
00:22:01You think I'm blaming you?
00:22:02Chiarra, I know you never got over me and Griffin.
00:22:04I never wanted to take anything from you.
00:22:06These years haven't been easy on him either.
00:22:08If you need someone to blame, blame me.
00:22:10Not him.
00:22:11I'm not blaming you.
00:22:14Griffin.
00:22:15Why are you up here?
00:22:16You said you'd wait in the car.
00:22:18You two weren't coming down.
00:22:19I came to check.
00:22:20Wind's bad up here.
00:22:21You shouldn't stand out long.
00:22:23I'm fine.
00:22:24You too.
00:22:25Chiarra just got off a plane and you brought her straight here.
00:22:28You couldn't let her rest first?
00:22:31I'm gonna go.
00:22:32Dad, I'll come back tomorrow.
00:22:34Chiarra, where are you staying?
00:22:35Let Griffin take you.
00:22:37You shouldn't-
00:22:37Don't.
00:22:38I don't look back.
00:22:39I'm basically running.
00:22:40At the gate, I flag a cab.
00:22:43Hyatt, please.
00:22:45We're not far before my phone buzzes.
00:22:48Griffin's number.
00:22:49I don't pick up.
00:22:50It dies out.
00:22:51Then a text.
00:22:52Chiarra, three years ago wasn't what you think.
00:22:55Let me explain.
00:22:56It's fully dark by the time I get to the hotel.
00:22:59Checking in.
00:23:02Mrs. Moretta, your key?
00:23:04Thanks.
00:23:06I take it and head for the elevator.
00:23:08The elevator climbs.
00:23:12Eighteen.
00:23:13And someone I didn't expect.
00:23:15Miss Chiana, your grandfather sent me.
00:23:18The car's downstairs.
00:23:20The house is the same.
00:23:23Arthur is leading me through the foyer toward the dining room.
00:23:27Three years, and you don't even say hello?
00:23:30Grandpa.
00:23:32Your father's memorial, and you cut it this close, like it isn't even yours.
00:23:37She's back.
00:23:38That's enough.
00:23:39Your sister's been sick, and she's still been handling all of this.
00:23:42You could at least thank her.
00:23:44Mom, it's fine.
00:23:46Chiarra just got off a plane.
00:23:48She's still on Paris time.
00:23:51Let's talk.
00:23:52Griffin's got tomorrow handled.
00:23:54After the mass, Chiala, you're not going back to Europe.
00:23:57You're 23.
00:23:58You can't keep floating around out there.
00:24:00Grandpa, I have a job over there.
00:24:02Tucker Seton.
00:24:04You remember him?
00:24:06Piano lessons when you were kids?
00:24:08Your mother and I think he's a good match.
00:24:10After the mass tomorrow, you sit down with him.
00:24:14Grandpa, I don't need you setting me up.
00:24:16You don't?
00:24:17You've been out there alone for three years.
00:24:20Your sister had her marriage settled at your age.
00:24:22I'm not going.
00:24:23What did you say?
00:24:24I said I'm not going.
00:24:26I'm not Francesca.
00:24:27I don't need anyone else running my life.
00:24:30I arranged your sister's marriage, too.
00:24:33You saying I got that wrong?
00:24:35Chialia.
00:24:36You will not speak to your grandfather that way.
00:24:39Three years gone, and this is how you talk to your grandfather?
00:24:42Your sister's been sick her whole life, and she's never given this family extra trouble.
00:24:46Your father dies, and you vanish without a word.
00:24:49Do you even care that this is your family?
00:24:52Mom, don't.
00:24:53She'll understand you and Grandpa are doing this for her.
00:24:57I need air.
00:25:00I get outside.
00:25:01Footsteps right behind me.
00:25:02Chialia, you shouldn't talk to Grandpa like that.
00:25:04Griffin, what are you right now talking to me like this?
00:25:07The guy who was supposed to be my uncle?
00:25:09Or my sister's husband?
00:25:14Three years ago, you picked her.
00:25:16Then keep your distance.
00:25:18She's your wife.
00:25:19I'm just her sister.
00:25:21Remember that.
00:25:24Griffin, you came out without a coat.
00:25:26It's cold.
00:25:27Your stomach.
00:25:28Chialia.
00:25:29You walked out like that.
00:25:31Grandpa's furious.
00:25:32I already talked to him for you.
00:25:34I said you were just upset.
00:25:36You'll see Tucker tomorrow.
00:25:39What?
00:25:40Grandpa's old.
00:25:41Don't go head-to-head with him.
00:25:43It's just dinner.
00:25:44I said I'm not going.
00:25:45Who told you you could say yes for me?
00:25:51It's cold.
00:25:52Go inside.
00:25:54But, Chialia...
00:25:55I'll talk to her.
00:25:57Francesca goes in, and it's just us again.
00:26:00You shouldn't talk to her like that.
00:26:02She's sick.
00:26:02So because she's sick, she gets to hand me to some guy I don't even know?
00:26:07That's why you married her too, right?
00:26:09Because she's sick.
00:26:10Griffin.
00:26:12You remember what you promised me?
00:26:14You said no matter what happened, you'd be on my side.
00:26:18So whose side are you on now?
00:26:20He doesn't answer.
00:26:22I'm done waiting.
00:26:28Chira.
00:26:29Mom and I already talked.
00:26:31Tomorrow we'll pick what you wear to see Tucker.
00:26:33Don't.
00:26:34I'm not going.
00:26:36Chira, you still can't let go of me and Griffin.
00:26:39I never...
00:26:39Enough!
00:26:41Look at your sister.
00:26:42She's still defending you.
00:26:43And you?
00:26:44What did you say to her?
00:26:46Mom.
00:26:47Don't call me mom.
00:26:49Anyone.
00:26:50You could have liked anyone.
00:26:52Not your sister's husband.
00:26:55My sister's husband.
00:26:57Three years ago, wasn't everyone still calling him Uncle Griffin?
00:27:01Mom.
00:27:02Growing up, Francesca was the only one you saw.
00:27:05She got sick.
00:27:06I was supposed to make room.
00:27:08She cried.
00:27:09I was supposed to make it better.
00:27:11Now she married Griffin, and you want me standing there blessing it?
00:27:14Did you ever once ask what that did to me?
00:27:17Mom.
00:27:17You've always hated your sister.
00:27:19You think she stole the man you wanted?
00:27:22There's something you don't know.
00:27:25It wasn't your grandfather pushing them together.
00:27:28Griffin asked for her.
00:27:31He said he wanted to marry Francesca.
00:27:33That's when your grandfather said yes.
00:27:37I turn.
00:27:38Griffin is in the doorway.
00:27:44Is that true?
00:27:46Yes.
00:27:47Anything you want to say?
00:27:49No.
00:27:51Griffin.
00:27:52Get me some water.
00:27:53I don't feel well.
00:27:54Okay.
00:27:55Griffin doesn't look at me.
00:27:56He doesn't explain.
00:27:57He just walks off and comes back with a glass for her, careful, like always.
00:28:02Francesca's eyes are still red.
00:28:03Her mouth isn't.
00:28:04I know that look.
00:28:05So it wasn't Grandpa.
00:28:06It was the man who promised he'd always be behind me.
00:28:08Turns out I was the joke.
00:28:10I'm leaving.
00:28:12I won it at 16.
00:28:14A stall at Coney Island.
00:28:15It was never worth anything.
00:28:17Griffin was with me that day.
00:28:19He stood behind me the whole time.
00:28:20Kept people from knocking into me.
00:28:25I thought that ring was us.
00:28:27That we'd stay stuck together.
00:28:29I wipe my face and flag a cab.
00:28:31I open my contacts.
00:28:32My finger stops on Mr. Vale.
00:28:34Sterling Vale.
00:28:35Eight years older.
00:28:36On Wall Street, his name and Griffin's show up in the same headlines.
00:28:40Difference is, Griffin is the one the Morettis built to handle the ugly work.
00:28:44Sterling actually runs Vale.
00:28:49Three years ago, second month in Paris, I picked up a black bag at Charles de Gallier.
00:28:53It was his.
00:28:54I owe you one.
00:28:55No matter where you are, you can call this number if you ever need anything.
00:28:58Later, I found out there was an $800 million deal in that bag.
00:29:01Three years in Paris, even when I was down to 10 euros.
00:29:05I never used that card.
00:29:07A man like Sterling doesn't make cheap promises.
00:29:12Tonight, he's the only person I can think of.
00:29:14Mr. Vale?
00:29:15I need you.
00:29:18I'm on my way.
00:29:19Whatever it is, yes.
00:29:23So your grandfather booked the date for after your father's mass?
00:29:26Yes.
00:29:27Childhood piano lesson guy?
00:29:29Yes.
00:29:30Tucker Sutton?
00:29:31Got it.
00:29:34Clear tomorrow morning.
00:29:35I have something.
00:29:38Chira Moretti.
00:29:40Yeah.
00:29:41Wear black tomorrow.
00:29:42You're going to your father's mass.
00:29:43Not a date.
00:29:47I sit there.
00:29:48My throat's tight.
00:29:49First time since dad died that someone stood in front of me again.
00:29:52I'm up at first light.
00:29:53Black suit.
00:29:55A little white flower on my chest.
00:29:58The wind was fierce outside St. Michael's Church.
00:30:00I get there early.
00:30:02The priest is still setting up.
00:30:03Griffin arranged all of it.
00:30:05The Moretti.
00:30:06The Moretti starts showing up.
00:30:07Watch the step.
00:30:08Chiara!
00:30:11I don't answer her.
00:30:12I look past her.
00:30:14At Griffin.
00:30:16Time.
00:30:16The mass starts.
00:30:18I kneel in the front row and listen to the priest.
00:30:20Mom starts crying.
00:30:22Francesca too.
00:30:23Chiara.
00:30:24I know today's a lot.
00:30:25Your sister mentioned you've been on your own in France for three years.
00:30:27It hasn't been easy.
00:30:29You're back now.
00:30:30Time to settle down.
00:30:31I can give you a home.
00:30:32Both families are here.
00:30:33Your father's watching.
00:30:34We can make the engagement official today.
00:30:36I don't want that.
00:30:38If I'm married, she doesn't have to worry about me and Griffin.
00:30:41I didn't nod.
00:30:42And I didn't say yes.
00:30:45Griffin.
00:30:45Griffin looks at me.
00:30:46Then at her.
00:30:48Then he shuts up.
00:30:49Good.
00:30:50Since Chiara agreed, we'll just...
00:30:51Agreed to what?
00:30:52You just said you and my fiancé agreed to what?
00:30:55The whole church goes quiet.
00:30:57Tucker's smile is gone.
00:30:58Mr. Vane, did you say fiancé?
00:31:02Mr. Moretti, I should have come to you properly before this.
00:31:06Today's your son's mass.
00:31:07This isn't how I wanted to say it.
00:31:08Sterling Vale.
00:31:09Only son.
00:31:10CEO of Vale Capital.
00:31:12The Morettis count in New York.
00:31:13Next to the Vales, there's still a step down.
00:31:15He dares not snap at Sterling.
00:31:17You and Chiana.
00:31:18Why did nobody in this family hear a word?
00:31:21Lord, she didn't want it public.
00:31:23We've been together a long time.
00:31:25I don't turn when we pass Griffin.
00:31:28I know he's looking.
00:31:30The black Bentley pulls away.
00:31:32The church steps shrink in the mirror.
00:31:34You're gonna miss him.
00:31:36No.
00:31:37Your brother-in-law doesn't look at me like I'm a stranger.
00:31:40Chiara Moretti.
00:31:41You brought me in to play this.
00:31:43Tucker Stanton isn't the problem.
00:31:46Griffer is.
00:31:47I don't deny it.
00:31:48Sterling's too sharp.
00:31:49I can't lie to him.
00:31:51What I can't shake is Griffin's back in that church.
00:31:53Next day, Griffin's in the lobby.
00:31:55I come down for coffee, and there he is.
00:32:01Chiana.
00:32:02You have a minute.
00:32:03I need to talk to you.
00:32:04Say it here.
00:32:07You and Sterling.
00:32:08Is it real?
00:32:09Real or not, why is that yours?
00:32:11What are you right now asking me that?
00:32:12The guy who was supposed to be my uncle?
00:32:14Or my sister's husband?
00:32:16He goes quiet.
00:32:18Then he takes something out of his jacket and holds it out.
00:32:21The ring I left on the hall table.
00:32:23You forgot this.
00:32:24Seven on the bot.
00:32:25Black Bentley at the door.
00:32:27He looks at the black dress.
00:32:29Nods.
00:32:30Let's go.
00:32:31In the car, he doesn't dress it up.
00:32:33Your grandfather called this afternoon.
00:32:35Polite.
00:32:36Clear.
00:32:37He wants to know if this fiancé is real.
00:32:40What are you going to say?
00:32:42The truth.
00:32:43You're my fiancé.
00:32:45We've been together a long time.
00:32:47You don't like the family in your private life, so we didn't say it.
00:32:50That's enough.
00:32:50The Morettas are not close enough to Valet to audit my personal life.
00:32:56Chiara and I have been together a long time.
00:32:58I didn't come to the family because I was waiting for the right time.
00:33:01Three years ago, she helped me once.
00:33:04We stayed in touch.
00:33:05Mr. Vale.
00:33:06You say you've been with her a long time.
00:33:08How well do you actually know her?
00:33:11You know what she hates to eat?
00:33:14What she's afraid of?
00:33:15How old she was when she learned to ride a bike?
00:33:17First time she got a perfect score?
00:33:19You don't.
00:33:21So what gives you the right to marry her?
00:33:23Mr. Vale, I need you.
00:33:27I'm on my way.
00:33:28Whatever it is, yes.
00:33:29So your grandfather booked the date for after your father's mass?
00:33:32Yes.
00:33:33Childhood piano lesson guy?
00:33:35Yes.
00:33:36Tucker Sutton?
00:33:37Got it.
00:33:40Clear tomorrow morning.
00:33:41I have something.
00:33:44Chiara Moretti?
00:33:46Yeah.
00:33:47Wear black tomorrow.
00:33:48You're going to your father's mass.
00:33:49Not a date.
00:33:53I sit there.
00:33:54My throat's tight.
00:33:55First time since dad died that someone stood in front of me again.
00:33:58I loved Uncle Griff for ten years.
00:33:59He kept turning me down like he was family.
00:34:03Then he married my sister.
00:34:04The day he married her, I got on a plane to Europe.
00:34:07Before I took off, Griffin's text wouldn't stop.
00:34:10Chiara, where are you?
00:34:12Text me back.
00:34:13You don't want me finding you.
00:34:15Griffin was the only son of my father's business partner.
00:34:18After his parents died in an accident, my father brought him into the Morelli house.
00:34:22On paper, I was supposed to call him Uncle Griffin.
00:34:24Francesca was sick her whole childhood.
00:34:26Mom poured everything into her.
00:34:28All I had was Griffin.
00:34:30Every time I got into trouble, Griffin put himself in front of me.
00:34:33Don't be scared.
00:34:34I've got you.
00:34:35And for years, he did.
00:34:36I thought he'd always be the one in front of me, until he married my sister.
00:34:46Three years ago, I went to France and built a life that actually held.
00:34:52I wouldn't have come back to New York if it weren't for dad's three-year memorial mass.
00:34:55First day back at JFC, I barely clear arrivals before someone stops me.
00:35:00My brother-in-law, the one who actually runs the Moretti house now.
00:35:03In the papers dad left, the man in charge of me and my share, Griffin DeLuca.
00:35:08And right now, he's got my hand.
00:35:10Chiara.
00:35:11That's what he called me when I was little.
00:35:13After I told him I loved him at 16, he never said it like that again.
00:35:17Chiara Moretti.
00:35:18Three years.
00:35:19You hid from me for three years.
00:35:21How much longer?
00:35:23Wedding band.
00:35:24My sister's.
00:35:25They've been married three years.
00:35:27The day dad died, I stood in the doorway shaking.
00:35:30I couldn't stop crying.
00:35:31Then Griffin came up behind me and held on.
00:35:34Chiara, don't be scared.
00:35:36I'm here.
00:35:37I'll take care of you.
00:35:39Whatever happens, I'm not leaving you.
00:35:42I believed him.
00:35:43Until that family dinner after the funeral.
00:35:45That night, Grandpa said it in front of everyone.
00:35:47Griffin was going to marry Francesca.
00:35:50Let go.
00:35:51Where are you going?
00:35:53Not on my way.
00:35:57He looks at me for a second.
00:35:58Then he lets go, turns, and pulls a bunch of white lilies out of the car.
00:36:03You're going to St. Michael's Cemetery.
00:36:05That on your way now?
00:36:06I look at the flowers.
00:36:07My throat goes tight.
00:36:08He knows the second I land, I go to Dad.
00:36:11Three years later, he still knows me.
00:36:13And he still chose to turn on me when I had nothing left.
00:36:15Same as everybody else.
00:36:16When I heard Griffin was marrying Francesca, the glass went straight out of my hand.
00:36:21Francesca turns and smiles at me.
00:36:23It looks like a win.
00:36:24I lose it.
00:36:26When you said no, you said you were like an uncle in this house.
00:36:29You couldn't want me?
00:36:31So what is marrying Francesca?
00:36:33She's family too!
00:36:37It's different.
00:36:38How?
00:36:38Chiara, you're stronger than she is.
00:36:41You'll be fine without me.
00:36:42That word again.
00:36:44It's the one everyone loves when they talk about me.
00:36:48I was never born strong.
00:36:50I just learned early that some things, you carry alone.
00:36:53Because every pair of eyes in that house was on Francesca.
00:36:56Nobody was looking at me.
00:36:58Griffin was the only one who ever saw me break.
00:37:00And he knew it.
00:37:03Griffin DeLuca, you shut me down like this today.
00:37:05I'm not coming back.
00:37:06He doesn't answer.
00:37:07The next day, I fly to Paris.
00:37:09Get in the car, Chiana.
00:37:11Mass.
00:37:12Your father's mass is set.
00:37:14Tomorrow morning.
00:37:15I hesitate.
00:37:16Then I get in.
00:37:18Not because I want to sit next to him.
00:37:19Because a memorial mass isn't something I can throw together because I happened to land.
00:37:23Your room's how you left it.
00:37:25Someone cleans it every week.
00:37:27That monstay of yours is still alive.
00:37:29Repotted twice.
00:37:31Grandpa wants to see you.
00:37:32After the mass.
00:37:33If you really don't want to go back, I'll handle it.
00:37:36Don't.
00:37:36I'll deal with it.
00:37:37And I'm staying at a hotel.
00:37:39By the time the car pulled up at the gates of St. Michael's Cemetery, dusk was falling.
00:37:44I'll wait here.
00:37:45Don't.
00:37:45I'll get back on my own.
00:37:47Shara Moretti.
00:37:48Go see your father.
00:37:49I'll wait.
00:37:50You come out, I leave.
00:37:51Not before.
00:37:54Dad's plot is a good one.
00:37:55It looks out over open water.
00:37:58Griffin picked it.
00:38:00It's quiet.
00:38:01Your father would have liked it.
00:38:02I walk closer and someone's already there.
00:38:06Francesca.
00:38:07Chiara.
00:38:07I knew you'd come see Dad first.
00:38:11What are you doing here?
00:38:12I'm his daughter too.
00:38:14The mass is tomorrow.
00:38:15I wanted a minute with him first.
00:38:17I don't answer her.
00:38:18I take a handkerchief out of my bag and wipe the photo on the stone.
00:38:23It was taken when he was 40.
00:38:25I know that face.
00:38:27That's how he looked every time he left one of my school things.
00:38:30Dad went so fast.
00:38:32You left right after the funeral.
00:38:34There are things I never got to say to you.
00:38:37Chiara.
00:38:39Have you been blaming me this whole time?
00:38:41For taking Griffin from you?
00:38:42You think I'm blaming you?
00:38:44Chiara, I know you never got over me and Griffin.
00:38:45I never wanted to take anything from you.
00:38:48These years haven't been easy on him either.
00:38:50If you need someone to blame, blame me.
00:38:52Not him.
00:38:53I'm not blaming you.
00:38:56Griffin.
00:38:57Why are you up here?
00:38:58You said you'd wait in the car.
00:39:00You two weren't coming down.
00:39:01I came to check.
00:39:02Wind's bad up here.
00:39:03You shouldn't stand out long.
00:39:05I'm fine.
00:39:06You too.
00:39:07Chiara just got off a plane and you brought her straight here.
00:39:10You couldn't let her rest first?
00:39:12I'm gonna go.
00:39:14Dad, I'll come back tomorrow.
00:39:16Chiara, where are you staying?
00:39:17Let Griffin take you.
00:39:19You shouldn't-
00:39:19Don't.
00:39:20I don't look back.
00:39:21I'm basically running.
00:39:22At the gate, I flag a cab.
00:39:25Hyatt, please.
00:39:27We're not far before my phone buzzes.
00:39:30Griffin's number.
00:39:31I don't pick up.
00:39:32It dies out.
00:39:33Then a text.
00:39:34Chiara, three years ago wasn't what you think.
00:39:36Let me explain.
00:39:38It's fully dark by the time I get to the hotel.
00:39:41Checking in.
00:39:44Mrs. Moretta, your key.
00:39:46Thanks.
00:39:48I take it and head for the elevator.
00:39:50The elevator climbs.
00:39:54Eighteen.
00:39:54And someone I didn't expect.
00:39:57Miss Chiara, your grandfather sent me.
00:40:00The car's downstairs.
00:40:02The house is the same.
00:40:04Arthur is leading me through the foyer toward the dining room.
00:40:09Three years, and you don't even say hello?
00:40:12Grandpa.
00:40:14Your father's memorial, and you cut it this close, like it isn't even yours.
00:40:18She's back.
00:40:19That's enough.
00:40:21Your sister's been sick, and she's still been handling all of this.
00:40:24You could at least thank her.
00:40:26Mom, it's fine.
00:40:28Chiara just got off a plane.
00:40:29She's still on Paris time.
00:40:33Let's talk.
00:40:34Griffin's got tomorrow handled.
00:40:36After the mass, Chiara, you're not going back to Europe.
00:40:39You're 23.
00:40:40You can't keep floating around out there.
00:40:42Grandpa, I have a job over there.
00:40:44Tucker Seton.
00:40:46You remember him?
00:40:47Piano lessons when you were kids?
00:40:50Your mother and I think he's a good match.
00:40:52After the mass tomorrow, you sit down with him.
00:40:56Grandpa, I don't need you setting me up.
00:40:58You don't?
00:40:59You've been out there alone for three years.
00:41:01Your sister had her marriage settled at your age.
00:41:04I'm not going.
00:41:05What did you say?
00:41:06I said I'm not going.
00:41:07I'm not Francesca.
00:41:09I don't need anyone else running my life.
00:41:12I arranged your sister's marriage, too.
00:41:14You saying I got that wrong?
00:41:17Celia, you will not speak to your grandfather that way.
00:41:20Three years gone, and this is how you talk to your grandfather?
00:41:24Your sister's been sick her whole life, and she's never given this family extra trouble.
00:41:28You...
00:41:28Your father dies, and you vanish without a word.
00:41:31Do you even care that this is your family?
00:41:34Mom, don't.
00:41:35She'll understand you and Grandpa are doing this for her.
00:41:39I need air.
00:41:41I get outside.
00:41:43Footsteps right behind me.
00:41:44Chiala, you shouldn't talk to Grandpa like...
00:41:46Griffin, what are you right now talking to me like this?
00:41:49The guy who was supposed to be my uncle?
00:41:51Or my sister's husband?
00:41:56Three years ago, you picked her.
00:41:58Then keep your distance.
00:42:00She's your wife.
00:42:01I'm just her sister.
00:42:03Remember that.
00:42:06Griffin, you came out without a coat.
00:42:08It's cold.
00:42:08Your stomach...
00:42:10Chiala, you walked out like that.
00:42:13Grandpa's furious.
00:42:14I already talked to him for you.
00:42:16I said you were just upset.
00:42:18You'll see Tucker tomorrow.
00:42:21What?
00:42:22Grandpa's old.
00:42:23Don't go head-to-head with him.
00:42:25It's just dinner.
00:42:26I said I'm not going.
00:42:27Who told you you could say yes for me?
00:42:29Oh, my God.
00:42:33It's cold.
00:42:34Go inside.
00:42:36But, Chiala...
00:42:37I'll talk to her.
00:42:39Francesca goes in, and it's just us again.
00:42:42You shouldn't talk to her like that.
00:42:43She's sick.
00:42:44So because she's sick, she gets to hand me to some guy I don't even know?
00:42:49That's why you married her too, right?
00:42:51Because she's sick.
00:42:52Griffin, you remember what you promised me?
00:42:55You said no matter what happened, you'd be on my side.
00:43:00So whose side are you on now?
00:43:02He doesn't answer.
00:43:03I'm done waiting.
00:43:09Chia.
00:43:11Mom and I already talked.
00:43:12Tomorrow we'll pick what you wear to see Tucker.
00:43:15Don't.
00:43:16I'm not going.
00:43:18Chia.
00:43:19You still can't let go of me and Griffin.
00:43:20I never...
00:43:21Enough!
00:43:22Look at your sister.
00:43:24She's still defending you.
00:43:25And you, what did you say to her?
00:43:28Mom.
00:43:29Don't call me mom.
00:43:31Anyone.
00:43:32You could have liked anyone.
00:43:34Not your sister's husband.
00:43:37My sister's husband.
00:43:39Three years ago, wasn't everyone still calling him Uncle Griffin?
00:43:43Mom.
00:43:44Growing up, Francesca was the only one you saw.
00:43:47She got sick.
00:43:48I was supposed to make room.
00:43:50She cried I was supposed to make it better.
00:43:53Now she married Griffin and you want me standing there blessing it?
00:43:56Did you ever once ask what that did to me?
00:43:59Mom.
00:43:59You've always hated your sister.
00:44:01You think she stole the man you wanted?
00:44:04There's something you don't know.
00:44:07It wasn't your grandfather pushing them together.
00:44:10Griffin asked for her.
00:44:12He said he wanted to marry Francesca.
00:44:15That's when your grandfather said yes.
00:44:19I turn.
00:44:20Griffin is in the doorway.
00:44:25Is that true?
00:44:27Yes.
00:44:29Anything you want to say?
00:44:30No.
00:44:32Griffin.
00:44:33Get me some water.
00:44:35I don't feel well.
00:44:36Okay.
00:44:37Griffin doesn't look at me.
00:44:38He doesn't explain.
00:44:39He just walks off and comes back with a glass for her.
00:44:42Careful, like always.
00:44:43Francesca's eyes are still red.
00:44:45Her mouth isn't.
00:44:46I know that look.
00:44:47So it wasn't grandpa.
00:44:48It was the man who promised he'd always be behind me.
00:44:50Turns out I was the joke.
00:44:52I'm leaving.
00:44:54I wanted at 16.
00:44:56A stall at Coney Island.
00:44:57It was never worth anything.
00:44:59Griffin was with me that day.
00:45:00He stood behind me the whole time.
00:45:02Kept people from knocking into me.
00:45:07I thought that ring was us.
00:45:09That we'd stay stuck together.
00:45:11I wipe my face and flag a cab.
00:45:13I open my contacts.
00:45:14My finger stops on Mr. Vail.
00:45:16Sterling Vail.
00:45:17Eight years older.
00:45:18On Wall Street, his name and Griffin show up in the same headlines.
00:45:22Difference is, Griffin is the one the Morettis built to handle the ugly work.
00:45:26Sterling actually runs Vail.
00:45:31Three years ago, second month in Paris, I picked up a black bag at Charles de Gallier.
00:45:35It was his.
00:45:36I owe you one.
00:45:37No matter where you are, you can call this number if you ever need anything.
00:45:40Later, I found out there was an $800 million deal in that bag.
00:45:43Three years in Paris, even when I was down to 10 euros.
00:45:47I never used that card.
00:45:49A man like Sterling doesn't make cheap promises.
00:45:54Tonight, he's the only person I can think of.
00:45:56Mr. Vail?
00:45:57I need you.
00:45:59I'm on my way.
00:46:01Whatever it is, yes.
00:46:05So your grandfather booked the date for after your father's mass?
00:46:08Yes.
00:46:09Childhood piano lesson guy?
00:46:11Yes.
00:46:12Tucker Sutton.
00:46:13Got it.
00:46:16Clear tomorrow morning.
00:46:17I have something.
00:46:20Chira Moretti.
00:46:22Yeah.
00:46:23Wear black tomorrow.
00:46:24You're going to your father's mass.
00:46:25Not a date.
00:46:28I sit there.
00:46:30My throat's tight.
00:46:31First time since dad died that someone stood in front of me again.
00:46:34I'm up at first light.
00:46:35Black suit.
00:46:36A little white flower on my chest.
00:46:39The wind was fierce outside St. Michael's Church.
00:46:42I get there early.
00:46:43The priest is still setting up.
00:46:45Griffin arranged all of it.
00:46:47The Morettos start showing up.
00:46:49Watch the step.
00:46:50Chiara.
00:46:52I don't answer her.
00:46:54I look past her.
00:46:56At Griffin.
00:46:58Time.
00:46:58The mass starts.
00:46:59I kneel in the front row and listen to the priest.
00:47:02Mom starts crying.
00:47:04Francesca too.
00:47:05Chiara.
00:47:06I know today's a lot.
00:47:07Your sister mentioned you've been on your own in France for three years.
00:47:09It hasn't been easy.
00:47:10You're back now.
00:47:11Time to settle down.
00:47:12I can give you a home.
00:47:13Both families are here.
00:47:15Your father's watching.
00:47:16We can make the engagement official today.
00:47:18I don't want that.
00:47:20If I'm married, she doesn't have to worry about me and Griffin.
00:47:23I didn't nod.
00:47:24And I didn't say yes.
00:47:26Griffin?
00:47:27Griffin looks at me.
00:47:28Then at her.
00:47:30Then he shuts up.
00:47:31Good.
00:47:32Since Chiara agreed, we'll just...
00:47:33Agreed to what?
00:47:34You just said you and my fiancé agreed to what?
00:47:36The whole church goes quiet.
00:47:38Tucker's smile is gone.
00:47:40Mr. Vane.
00:47:41Did you say fiancé?
00:47:44Mr. Moretti.
00:47:45I should have come to you properly before this.
00:47:47Today's your son's mass.
00:47:49This isn't how I wanted to say it.
00:47:50Sterling Vail.
00:47:51Only son.
00:47:52CEO of Vail Capital.
00:47:53The Morettis count in New York.
00:47:55Next to the Vails, there's still a step down.
00:47:57He dares not snap at Sterling.
00:47:59You and Chiara.
00:48:00Why did nobody in this family hear a word?
00:48:03She didn't want it public.
00:48:05We've been together a long time.
00:48:07I don't turn when we pass Griffin.
00:48:10I know he's looking.
00:48:12The black Bentley pulls away.
00:48:14The church steps shrink in the mirror.
00:48:16You're gonna miss him.
00:48:18No.
00:48:19Your brother-in-law doesn't look at me like I'm a stranger.
00:48:22Chiara Moretti.
00:48:23You brought me in to play this.
00:48:25Tucker Stanton isn't the problem.
00:48:28Griffer is.
00:48:28I don't deny it.
00:48:30Sterling's too sharp.
00:48:31I can't lie to him.
00:48:33What I can't shake is Griff is back in that church.
00:48:35Next day, Griffin's in the lobby.
00:48:37I come down for coffee, and there he is.
00:48:44Chiana, you have a minute I need to talk to you.
00:48:46Say it here.
00:48:49You and Sterling.
00:48:50Is it real?
00:48:51Real or not, why is that yours?
00:48:52What are you right now asking me that?
00:48:54The guy who was supposed to be my uncle?
00:48:56Or my sister's husband?
00:48:58He goes quiet.
00:49:00Then he takes something out of his jacket and holds it out.
00:49:03The ring I left on the hall table.
00:49:05You forgot this.
00:49:06Seven on the bot.
00:49:07Black Bentley at the door.
00:49:09He looks at the black dress.
00:49:10Nods.
00:49:12Let's go.
00:49:13In the car, he doesn't dress it up.
00:49:15Your grandfather called this afternoon.
00:49:17Polite.
00:49:18Clear.
00:49:19He wants to know if this fiancé is real.
00:49:22What are you going to say?
00:49:24The truth.
00:49:25You're my fiancé.
00:49:26We've been together a long time.
00:49:29You don't like the family in your private life, so we didn't say it.
00:49:32That's enough.
00:49:33The Morettas are not close enough to Valet to audit my personal life.
00:49:38Chiara and I have been together a long time.
00:49:40I didn't come to the family because I was waiting for the right time.
00:49:43Three years ago.
00:49:44She helped me once.
00:49:46We stayed in touch.
00:49:47Mr. Vale.
00:49:48You say you've been with her a long time.
00:49:50How well do you actually know her?
00:49:53You know what she hates to eat?
00:49:55What she's afraid of?
00:49:57How old she was when she learned to ride a bike?
00:49:59First time she got a perfect score?
00:50:01You don't.
00:50:03So what gives you the right to marry her?
00:50:05Mr. Vale.
00:50:06I need you.
00:50:09I'm on my way.
00:50:10Whatever it is, yes.
00:50:11So your grandfather booked the date for after your father's mass?
00:50:13Yes.
00:50:15Childhood piano lesson guy?
00:50:17Yes.
00:50:18Tucker Sutton?
00:50:19Got it.
00:50:22Clear tomorrow morning.
00:50:23I have something.
00:50:26Chiara Moretti?
00:50:28Yeah.
00:50:29Wear black tomorrow.
00:50:30You're going to your father's mass.
00:50:31Not a date.
00:50:34I sit there.
00:50:35My throat's tight.
00:50:37First time since dad died that someone stood in front of me again.
00:50:39I loved Uncle Griff for 10 years.
00:50:41He kept turning me down like he was family.
00:50:44Then he married my sister.
00:50:46The day he married her, I got on a plane to Europe.
00:50:49Before I took off, Griffin's text wouldn't stop.
00:50:52Chiara, where are you?
00:50:54Text me back.
00:50:55You don't want me finding you.
00:50:57Griffin was the only son of my father's business partner.
00:51:00After his parents died in an accident, my father brought him into the Morelli house.
00:51:04On paper, I was supposed to call him Uncle Griffin.
00:51:06Francesca was sick her whole childhood.
00:51:08Mom poured everything into her.
00:51:10All I had was Griffin.
00:51:12Every time I got into trouble, Griffin put himself in front of me.
00:51:15Don't be scared.
00:51:16I've got you.
00:51:17And for years, he did.
00:51:19I thought he'd always be the one in front of me.
00:51:21Until he married my sister.
00:51:28Three years ago, I went to France and built a life that actually held.
00:51:34I wouldn't have come back to New York if it weren't for Dad's three-year memorial mass.
00:51:37First day back at JFC, I barely clear arrivals before someone stops me.
00:51:41My brother-in-law, the one who actually runs the Moretti house now.
00:51:45In the papers Dad left, the man in charge of me and my share, Griffin DeLuca.
00:51:49And right now, he's got my hand.
00:51:52Chiara.
00:51:53That's what he called me when I was little.
00:51:55After I told him I loved him at 16, he never said it like that again.
00:51:58Chiara Moretti.
00:52:00Three years.
00:52:01You hid from me for three years.
00:52:03How much longer?
00:52:05Wedding band.
00:52:06My sisters.
00:52:07They've been married three years.
00:52:09The day Dad died, I stood in the doorway shaking.
00:52:12I couldn't stop crying.
00:52:13Then Griffin came up behind me and held on.
00:52:16Chiara.
00:52:17Don't be scared.
00:52:18I'm here.
00:52:19I'll take care of you.
00:52:21Whatever happens.
00:52:22I'm not leaving you.
00:52:24I believed him until that family dinner after the funeral.
00:52:27That night, Grandpa said it in front of everyone.
00:52:29Griffin was going to marry Francesca.
00:52:32Let go.
00:52:33Where are you going?
00:52:35Not on my way.
00:52:39He looks at me for a second.
00:52:40Then he lets go, turns, and pulls a bunch of white lilies out of the car.
00:52:44You're going to St. Michael's Cemetery.
00:52:46That on your way now?
00:52:48I look at the flowers.
00:52:49My throat goes tight.
00:52:50He knows the second I land, I go to Dad.
00:52:53Three years later, he still knows me.
00:52:54And he still chose to turn on me when I had nothing left.
00:52:57Same as everybody else.
00:52:58When I heard Griffin was marrying Francesca, the glass went straight out of my hand.
00:53:02Francesca turns and smiles at me.
00:53:04It looks like a win.
00:53:05I lose it.
00:53:07When you said no, you said you were like an uncle in this house.
00:53:11You couldn't want me?
00:53:12So what is marrying Francesca?
00:53:14She's family too.
00:53:18It's different.
00:53:19How?
00:53:20Chiara, you're stronger than she is.
00:53:23You'll be fine without me.
00:53:24That word again.
00:53:26It's the one everyone loves when they talk about me.
00:53:30I was never born strong.
00:53:32I just learned early that some things you carry alone.
00:53:35Because every pair of eyes in that house was on Francesca.
00:53:38Nobody was looking at me.
00:53:40Griffin was the only one who ever saw me break.
00:53:42And he knew it.
00:53:44Griffin DeLuca, you shut me down like this today.
00:53:47I'm not coming back.
00:53:48He doesn't answer.
00:53:49The next day, I fly to Paris.
00:53:51Get in the car, Chiana.
00:53:53Mass.
00:53:54Your father's mass is set.
00:53:56Tomorrow morning.
00:53:57I hesitate.
00:53:58Then I get in.
00:53:59Not because I want to sit next to him.
00:54:01Because a memorial mass isn't something I can throw together because I happened to land.
00:54:05Your room's how you left it.
00:54:07Someone cleans it every week.
00:54:09That monstera of yours is still alive.
00:54:11Repotted twice.
00:54:13Grandpa wants to see you.
00:54:14After the mass.
00:54:15If you really don't want to go back, I'll handle it.
00:54:17Don't.
00:54:18I'll deal with it.
00:54:19And I'm staying at a hotel.
00:54:21By the time the car pulled up at the gates of St. Michael's Cemetery, dusk was falling.
00:54:26I'll wait here.
00:54:27Don't.
00:54:27I'll get back on my own.
00:54:28Chiana Moretti.
00:54:30Go see your father.
00:54:31I'll wait.
00:54:32You come out, I leave.
00:54:33Not before.
00:54:36Dad's plot is a good one.
00:54:37It looks out over open water.
00:54:40Griffin picked it.
00:54:41It's quiet.
00:54:42Your father would have liked it.
00:54:44I walk closer, and someone's already there.
00:54:48Francesca.
00:54:48Chiara.
00:54:49I knew you'd come see Dad first.
00:54:53What are you doing here?
00:54:54I'm his daughter, too.
00:54:56The mass is tomorrow.
00:54:57I wanted a minute with him first.
00:54:58I don't answer her.
00:55:00I take a handkerchief out of my bag and wipe the photo on the stone.
00:55:05It was taken when he was 40.
00:55:07I know that face.
00:55:08That's how he looked every time he left one of my school things.
00:55:12Dad went so fast.
00:55:14You left right after the funeral.
00:55:16There are things I never got to say to you.
00:55:19Chiara.
00:55:20Have you been blaming me this whole time?
00:55:23For taking Griffin from you?
00:55:24You think I'm blaming you?
00:55:26Chiara, I know you never got over me and Griffin.
00:55:28I never wanted to take anything from you.
00:55:30These years haven't been easy on him, either.
00:55:32If you need someone to blame, blame me.
00:55:34Not him.
00:55:35I'm not blaming you.
00:55:38Griffin.
00:55:39Why are you up here?
00:55:40You said you'd wait in the car.
00:55:41You two weren't coming down.
00:55:43I came to check.
00:55:44Wind's bad up here.
00:55:45You shouldn't stand out long.
00:55:47I'm fine.
00:55:48You, too.
00:55:49Chiara just got off a plane and you brought her straight here.
00:55:51You couldn't let her rest first?
00:55:54I'm gonna go.
00:55:55Dad, I'll come back tomorrow.
00:55:58Chiara, where are you staying?
00:55:59Let Griffin take you.
00:56:00You shouldn't-
00:56:01Don't.
00:56:01I don't look back.
00:56:03I'm basically running.
00:56:04At the gate, I flag a cab.
00:56:07Hyatt, please.
00:56:09We're not far before my phone buzzes.
00:56:12Griffin's number.
00:56:13I don't pick up.
00:56:14It dies out.
00:56:15Then a text.
00:56:16Chiara, three years ago wasn't what you think.
00:56:18Let me explain.
00:56:19It's fully dark by the time I get to the hotel.
00:56:22Checking in.
00:56:26Mrs. Moretta, your key.
00:56:28Thanks.
00:56:29I take it and head for the elevator.
00:56:32The elevator climbs.
00:56:36Eighteen.
00:56:36And someone I didn't expect.
00:56:39Miss Chiana, your grandfather sent me.
00:56:41The car's downstairs.
00:56:44The house is the same.
00:56:46Arthur is leading me through the foyer toward the dining room.
00:56:51Three years, and you don't even say hello?
00:56:54Grandpa.
00:56:55Your father's memorial, and you cut it this close, like it isn't even yours.
00:57:00She's back.
00:57:01That's enough.
00:57:02Your sister's been sick, and she's still been handling all of this.
00:57:06You could at least thank her.
00:57:08Mom, it's fine.
00:57:10Tira just got off a plane.
00:57:11She's still on Paris time.
00:57:15Let's talk.
00:57:16Griffin's got tomorrow handled.
00:57:18After the mass, Chiara, you're not going back to Europe.
00:57:21You're 23.
00:57:22You can't keep floating around out there.
00:57:24Grandpa, I have a job over there.
00:57:26Tucker Setton.
00:57:28You remember him?
00:57:29Piano lessons when you were kids?
00:57:32Your mother and I think he's a good match.
00:57:34After the mass tomorrow, you sit down with him.
00:57:38Grandpa, I don't need you setting me up.
00:57:40You don't?
00:57:41You've been out there alone for three years.
00:57:43Your sister had her marriage settled at your age.
00:57:46I'm not going.
00:57:47What did you say?
00:57:48I said I'm not going.
00:57:49I'm not Francesca.
00:57:50I don't need anyone else running my life.
00:57:53I arranged your sister's marriage, too.
00:57:56You saying I got that wrong?
00:57:59Celia, you will not speak to your grandfather that way.
00:58:02Three years gone, and this is how you talk to your grandfather?
00:58:06Your sister's been sick her whole life,
00:58:07and she's never given this family extra trouble.
00:58:10Your father dies, and you vanish without a word.
00:58:13Do you even care that this is your family?
00:58:16Mom, don't.
00:58:17She'll understand you and Grandpa are doing this for her.
00:58:21I need air.
00:58:23I get outside.
00:58:25Footsteps right behind me.
00:58:26Chiala, you shouldn't talk to Grandpa like that.
00:58:28Griffin, what are you right now talking to me like this?
00:58:31The guy who was supposed to be my uncle?
00:58:33Or my sister's husband?
00:58:37Three years ago, you picked her.
00:58:39Then keep your distance.
00:58:42She's your wife.
00:58:43I'm just her sister.
00:58:45Remember that.
00:58:47Griffin, you came out without a coat.
00:58:50It's cold.
00:58:50Your stomach.
00:58:52Chiala, you walked out like that.
00:58:55Grandpa's furious.
00:58:56I already talked to him for you.
00:58:58I said you were just upset.
00:59:00You'll see Tucker tomorrow.
00:59:03What?
00:59:04Grandpa's old.
00:59:05Don't go head-to-head with him.
00:59:07It's just dinner.
00:59:07I said I'm not going.
00:59:09Who told you you could say yes for me?
00:59:15It's cold.
00:59:16Go inside.
00:59:18But, Chiala...
00:59:19I'll talk to her.
00:59:21Francesca goes in,
00:59:22and it's just us again.
00:59:24You shouldn't talk to her like that.
00:59:25She's sick.
00:59:26So because she's sick,
00:59:27she gets to hand me to some guy
00:59:29I don't even know?
00:59:31That's why you married her too, right?
00:59:33Because she's sick, Griffin.
00:59:36You remember what you promised me?
00:59:38You said no matter what happened,
00:59:39you'd be on my side.
00:59:42So whose side are you on now?
00:59:44He doesn't answer.
00:59:45I'm done waiting.
00:59:51Chiala,
00:59:52Mom and I already talked.
00:59:54Tomorrow, we'll pick what you wear
00:59:56to see Tucker.
00:59:57Don't.
00:59:57I'm not going.
01:00:00Chiala,
01:00:00you still can't let go of me and Griffin.
01:00:02I never...
01:00:03Enough!
01:00:04Look at your sister.
01:00:06She's still defending you.
01:00:07And you?
01:00:07What did you say to her?
01:00:10Mom.
01:00:11Don't call me Mom.
01:00:13Anyone.
01:00:14You could have liked anyone.
01:00:15Not your sister's husband.
01:00:18My sister's husband.
01:00:21Three years ago,
01:00:22wasn't everyone still calling him
01:00:23Uncle Griffin?
01:00:24Mom.
01:00:25Growing up,
01:00:26Francesca was the only one you saw.
01:00:29She got sick.
01:00:30I was supposed to make room.
01:00:32She cried.
01:00:33I was supposed to make it better.
01:00:34Now she married Griffin
01:00:35and you want me standing there
01:00:37blessing it?
01:00:37Did you ever once
01:00:39ask what that did to me?
01:00:40Mom.
01:00:41You've always hated your sister.
01:00:43You think she stole the man you wanted?
01:00:46There's something you don't know.
01:00:49It wasn't your grandfather
01:00:50pushing them together.
01:00:52Griffin asked for her.
01:00:54He said he wanted to marry Francesca.
01:00:57That's when your grandfather said yes.
01:01:00I turn.
01:01:02Griffin is in the doorway.
01:01:07Is that true?
01:01:09Yes.
01:01:11Anything you want to say?
01:01:12No.
01:01:14Griffin,
01:01:15get me some water.
01:01:16I don't feel well.
01:01:18Okay.
01:01:19Griffin doesn't look at me.
01:01:20He doesn't explain.
01:01:21He just walks off
01:01:22and comes back with a glass for her,
01:01:24careful,
01:01:24like always.
01:01:25Francesca's eyes are still red.
01:01:27Her mouth isn't.
01:01:28I know that look.
01:01:29So it wasn't Grandpa.
01:01:29It was the man who promised
01:01:31he'd always be behind me.
01:01:32Turns out I was the joke.
01:01:34I'm leaving.
01:01:36I wanted at 16.
01:01:38A stall at Coney Island.
01:01:39It was never worth anything.
01:01:41Griffin was with me that day.
01:01:42He stood behind me the whole time.
01:01:44Kept people from knocking into me.
01:01:49I thought that ring was us.
01:01:50That we'd stay stuck together.
01:01:53I wipe my face and flag a cab.
01:01:55I open my contacts.
01:01:56My finger stops on Mr. Vale.
01:01:58Sterling Vale.
01:01:58Eight years older.
01:02:00On Wall Street,
01:02:01his name and Griffin's
01:02:02show up in the same headlines.
01:02:03Difference is,
01:02:04Griffin is the one the Morettis built
01:02:06to handle the ugly work.
01:02:07Sterling actually runs Vale.
01:02:13Three years ago,
01:02:14second month in Paris,
01:02:14I picked up a black bag
01:02:15at Charles de Gallier.
01:02:17It was his.
01:02:18I owe you one.
01:02:19No matter where you are,
01:02:20you can call this number
01:02:21if you ever need anything.
01:02:22Later, I found out
01:02:22there was an $800 million deal
01:02:24in that bag.
01:02:25Three years in Paris,
01:02:26even when I was down to 10 euros.
01:02:29I never used that card.
01:02:31A man like Sterling
01:02:32doesn't make cheap promises.
01:02:36Tonight, he's the only person
01:02:37I can think of.
01:02:38Mr. Vale,
01:02:39I need you.
01:02:41I'm on my way.
01:02:43Whatever it is, yes.
01:02:46So your grandfather booked the date
01:02:48for after your father's mass?
01:02:49Yes.
01:02:51Childhood piano lesson guy?
01:02:53Yes.
01:02:54Tucker Sutton.
01:02:55Got it.
01:02:58Clear tomorrow morning.
01:02:59I have something.
01:03:02Kira Moretti.
01:03:04Yeah.
01:03:05Wear black tomorrow.
01:03:06You're going to your father's mass.
01:03:07Not a date.
01:03:10I sit there.
01:03:11My throat's tight.
01:03:13First time since dad died
01:03:14that someone stood in front of me again.
01:03:15I'm up at first light.
01:03:17Black suit.
01:03:18A little white flower on my chest.
01:03:21The wind was fierce
01:03:22outside St. Michael's Church.
01:03:24I get there early.
01:03:25The priest is still setting up.
01:03:27Griffin arranged all of it.
01:03:29The Morettos start showing up.
01:03:30Watch the step.
01:03:32Kira!
01:03:34I don't answer her.
01:03:36I look past her.
01:03:37At Griffin.
01:03:39Time.
01:03:40The mass starts.
01:03:41I kneel in the front row
01:03:42and listen to the priest.
01:03:44Mom starts crying.
01:03:46Francesca too.
01:03:47Chiara.
01:03:48I know today's a lot.
01:03:49Your sister mentioned
01:03:49you've been on your own
01:03:50in France for three years.
01:03:51It hasn't been easy.
01:03:52You're back now.
01:03:53Time to settle down.
01:03:54I can give you a home.
01:03:55Both families are here.
01:03:56Your father's watching.
01:03:58We can make the engagement
01:03:59official today.
01:04:00I don't want that.
01:04:02If I'm married,
01:04:03she doesn't have to worry
01:04:03about me and Griffin.
01:04:05I didn't nod.
01:04:06And I didn't say yes.
01:04:08Griffin.
01:04:09Griffin looks at me.
01:04:10Then at her.
01:04:11Then he shuts up.
01:04:13Good.
01:04:13Since Chiara agreed,
01:04:14we'll just...
01:04:15Agreed to what?
01:04:16You just said you and my fiancé
01:04:17agreed to what?
01:04:18The whole church goes quiet.
01:04:20Tucker's smile is gone.
01:04:22Mr. Vane,
01:04:23did you say fiancé?
01:04:25Mr. Moretti,
01:04:27I should have come to you
01:04:28properly before this.
01:04:29Today's your son's mass.
01:04:31This isn't how I wanted to say it.
01:04:32Sterling Vail.
01:04:33Only son.
01:04:34CEO of Vail Capital.
01:04:35The Morettis count in New York.
01:04:37Next to the Vails,
01:04:37there's still a step down.
01:04:39He dares not snap at Sterling.
01:04:41You and Chiara.
01:04:42Why did nobody in this family
01:04:44hear a word?
01:04:44She didn't want it public.
01:04:46We've been together a long time.
01:04:49I don't turn when we pass Griffin.
01:04:51I know he's looking.
01:04:54The black Bentley pulls away.
01:04:56The church steps shrink in the mirror.
01:04:58You're going to miss him.
01:05:00No.
01:05:01Your brother-in-law doesn't look at me
01:05:02like I'm a stranger.
01:05:04Chiara Moretti.
01:05:05You brought me in to play this.
01:05:07Tucker Stanton isn't the problem.
01:05:09Griffer is.
01:05:10I don't deny it.
01:05:12Sterling's too sharp.
01:05:13I can't lie to him.
01:05:14What I can't shake is
01:05:16Griff is back in that church.
01:05:17Next day,
01:05:18Griffin's in the lobby.
01:05:19I come down for coffee,
01:05:20and there he is.
01:05:25Chiana,
01:05:26you have a minute.
01:05:26I need to talk to you.
01:05:28Say it here.
01:05:30You and Sterling.
01:05:32Is it real?
01:05:33Real or not,
01:05:33why is that yours?
01:05:34What are you right now
01:05:35asking me that?
01:05:36The guy who was supposed
01:05:36to be my uncle?
01:05:37Or my sister's husband?
01:05:39He goes quiet.
01:05:42Then he takes something
01:05:43out of his jacket
01:05:43and holds it out.
01:05:44The ring I left
01:05:45on the hall table.
01:05:46You forgot this.
01:05:47Seven on the bot.
01:05:49Black Bentley at the door.
01:05:50He looks at the black dress.
01:05:52Nods.
01:05:54Let's go.
01:05:55In the car,
01:05:56he doesn't dress it up.
01:05:57Your grandfather
01:05:58called this afternoon.
01:05:59Polite.
01:06:00Clear.
01:06:01He wants to know
01:06:02if this fiancé is real.
01:06:04What are you going to say?
01:06:05The truth.
01:06:07You're my fiancé.
01:06:08We've been together
01:06:09a long time.
01:06:10You don't like the family
01:06:11in your private life,
01:06:12so we didn't say it.
01:06:13That's enough.
01:06:14The Morettas are not
01:06:15close enough to Valet
01:06:16to audit my personal life.
01:06:19Chiara and I
01:06:20have been together
01:06:20a long time.
01:06:21I didn't come to the family
01:06:23because I was waiting
01:06:23for the right time.
01:06:25Three years ago,
01:06:26she helped me once.
01:06:28We stayed in touch.
01:06:29Mr. Vale,
01:06:30you say you've been
01:06:31with her a long time.
01:06:32How well do you
01:06:33actually know her?
01:06:35You know what she hates
01:06:36to eat?
01:06:37What she's afraid of?
01:06:39How old she was
01:06:39when she learned
01:06:40to ride a bike?
01:06:41First time she got
01:06:41a perfect score?
01:06:43You don't.
01:06:45So what gives you
01:06:46the right to marry her?
