00:02...isn't blood.
00:03Everyone cheered.
00:04Bruno seized the moment, urging the Don to take his pills.
00:07But Vince pushed the silver tray away.
00:09It's useless, Bruno. Throw it away.
00:12Bruno looked completely defeated.
00:13When he saw me in the corner, he shoved the tray into my hands.
00:16You try.
00:17Huh?
00:18Vince finally noticed me. He waved me over.
00:21Don, Mama said medicine makes sick people better.
00:24I'm not sick, little one. I was poisoned.
00:26These pills just numb the pain. They won't save me.
00:28The room fell into a mournful silence.
00:30Was he going to die, just like Mama?
00:33Don, I know you'll find the cure and get better.
00:36Suddenly, a bodyguard burst through the double doors.
00:38Boss, our contacts in South America just called.
00:41They secured the synthesized antidote. You're going to live.
00:44Don Vince froze, stunned.
00:46Bruno looked at me in absolute awe.
00:48First, her pastry helped you cough up the poison.
00:51Now, the moment she says you'd get better, we got the call about the cure.
00:54She's a good luck charm. A real angel.
00:56An angel? But Daddy always said I was a curse.
00:59Little one, do you want to stay here with me?
01:01But Daddy said I only bring bad luck.
01:04Before Mama passed away, she held my hand and told me to always obey Daddy.
01:09My stepmother Catherine said I ate too much, so Daddy only fed me once a day.
01:13I obeyed.
01:14My stepsister Chloe called me dirty, so Daddy made me sleep on the cold garage floor.
01:19I obeyed that too.
01:21But no matter what, Daddy still hated me.
01:24He just wanted to throw me away.
01:26On Thanksgiving night, rain poured down.
01:29Chloe was screaming for a canola, so Daddy shoved a crumpled dollar bickle into my hand.
01:34Go to 8th Street Bakery. Now.
01:36But it's so far.
01:37Okay, I understand.
01:40I walked for hours through the freezing rain before finally buying the canola.
01:44But when I returned to the apartment, they were all gone.
01:47I waited in the dark, empty room for two days.
01:51Starving and freezing, I found Mama's old notebook.
01:53It had Daddy's work address in the city.
01:55I walked a whole day and night to Manhattan.
01:58Outside the fanciest restaurant in the city, I saw them.
02:01Through the glass, they were clinking glasses, celebrating.
02:04Right then, I knew Daddy was never coming back for me.
02:08I looked down at the stale canola in my hands.
02:11I decided to just eat it.
02:13Just then, near a sleek black SUV, I heard a man begging.
02:16Don, please. You need to take your pills.
02:20I swallowed hard and stepped closer to the open car door.
02:23Are you afraid they're too bitter?
02:25I have a canola.
02:27It's very sweet.
02:28I can give it to you.
02:30Maybe I approached too suddenly.
02:31The handsome man's striking grey eyes widened.
02:34A harsh gust of wind blew past.
02:36He suddenly started coughing violently.
02:38The bodyguard in the black suit slured and pushed me back.
02:42Where the hell did this stray kid come from?
02:44Get lost!
02:45Don, are you alright?
02:46The shove sent me crashing onto the pavement.
02:49The pastry box slipped from my frozen fingers and hit the wet concrete.
02:53I sat on the freezing ground, staring at the mess.
02:56I guess they don't want it either.
02:58Never mind.
02:59I pushed myself up, grabbed the filthy box, and walked away.
03:03A voice, raspy but commanding, echoed behind me.
03:06Wait.
03:07I turned around.
03:09The handsome man had stopped coughing.
03:11He was walking towards me.
03:13He was so handsome, but he looked deeply sick.
03:17Just taking those few vapes had left him breathless.
03:20Little girl, what's your name?
03:23His eyes held so much sorrow.
03:25It made me forget Mama's rule about talking to strangers.
03:29Angie.
03:30How old are you, Angie?
03:32Six.
03:33He frowned, his gaze dropping to my soaked raincoat.
03:37Why are you out here alone?
03:38Where are your parents?
03:40Hearing the gentle concern in his voice, warm tears rolled down my cheeks.
03:45Mama is dead.
03:46And Daddy, he has a new family now.
03:50He threw me away.
03:51Deep down, I had known Daddy didn't want me long before tonight.
03:54I was barely a baby when he left our little home in Yonkers.
03:57He said he was heading downtown to work for the syndicates.
03:59He promised to come back for us once he made it.
04:01For five years, there was only silence.
04:03The neighbors used to whisper behind Mama's back.
04:05Your Sal found a Kakapi's daughter downtown.
04:08They even had a little girl together.
04:09Mama didn't believe them, but every night, she left voicemails he never answered.
04:13Earlier this year, Daddy finally came back.
04:16He drove a luxury car and wore expensive, tailored suits.
04:19Beside him was a beautiful, wealthy woman holding a spoiled little girl.
04:23He had a terrible fight with Mama in our cramped kitchen.
04:26Elena, just sign the divorce papers.
04:27Don't make this a mess.
04:29I didn't understand all his words, but I knew Mama was heartbroken.
04:32He walked out with the signed papers.
04:35He didn't even glance at me.
04:36After that, Mama got sick.
04:38The doctor said it was cancer.
04:39She wouldn't survive the winter.
04:40On her deathbed, she held my face with shaking hands.
04:43Angie, when I'm gone, you have to be good.
04:45Always listen to your daddy.
04:47Never make him mad.
04:48It's the only way he'll keep you.
04:50I tried so hard to be good.
04:51When Chloe wanted to play horse, I got on all fours and let her ride me.
04:55When Catherine burned the doll Mom made for me, I didn't even cry.
04:58But they still called me cursed, blaming me for my own mother's death.
05:02And in the end, they threw me away.
05:04The icy wind cut through my thin coat.
05:07In front of me, the handsome Don's eyes filled with pity.
05:11How could any father ever abandon his own child?
05:13Will you give that canala to me?
05:15It's dirty.
05:16It dropped in the puddle.
05:17You can't eat it.
05:18I tried to hide the soggy package behind my back, but his pale, elegant fingers gently
05:22took the box from my hands.
05:24There are clean parts inside.
05:26As he opened the crushed box, the bodyguard beside him panicked.
05:29Don, no!
05:29You can't eat street trash.
05:30It's fine, Bruno.
05:31The handsome Don pinched a piece of the shell that was clean and put it in his mouth.
05:36Instantly, his body went stidic.
05:38He coughed violently, spitting up a mouthful of dark, clotted blood onto the ground.
05:42Bruno went pale with terror, rushing forward to catch his collapsing master.
05:46Leaving his boss with the other guards, Bruno turned and grabbed my collar.
05:49Brat, who sent you?
05:51Do you have any idea who you just poisoned?
05:53Don Vince Capretti, the most powerful mob boss in New York!
05:56He looked like he wanted to tear me apart.
05:58I kicked and screamed in terror.
06:00Just then, over Bruno's shoulder, I saw Daddy walking out of the restaurant.
06:05Daddy, help me!
06:06Daddy stopped, seeing me being held by the terrifying men in suits.
06:10Not wanting to get involved, he scoffed.
06:12Where did this little beggar come from?
06:14Don't call me Daddy!
06:16He hurried away, pushing Catherine and Chloe into their car without ever looking back.
06:21I was dragged into a massive mansion.
06:23A beautiful but fierce woman glared at me.
06:25Who sent you to kill my brother?
06:27Speak, or I'll feed you to the hounds.
06:29Two massive guard dogs barked, jaws snapping.
06:31I didn't!
06:32I thought a sweet pastry would help him take his medication.
06:35She sneered and reached to unleash the dogs.
06:37Stop!
06:38The Don is awake!
06:39She froze and rushed upstairs.
06:41A guard halted me up right behind her.
06:43Inside the grand bedroom, Don Vince was sitting up.
06:46It's a miracle!
06:47That pastry actually made the Don cough up some of the poisoned blood.
06:50Everyone cheered.
06:51Bruno seized the moment, urging the Don to take his pills.
06:54But Vince pushed the silver tray away.
06:56It's useless, Bruno.
06:57Throw it away.
06:58Bruno looked completely defeated.
07:00When he saw me in the corner, he shoved the tray into my hands.
07:03You try.
07:04Huh?
07:05Vince finally noticed me.
07:06He waved me over.
07:07Don, Mama said medicine makes sick people better.
07:10I'm not sick, little one.
07:12I was poisoned.
07:13These pills just numb the pain.
07:14They won't save me.
07:15The room fell into a mournful silence.
07:17Was he going to die, just like Mama?
07:20Don, I know you'll find the cure and get better.
07:23Suddenly, a bodyguard burst through the double doors.
07:25Boss, our contacts in South America just called.
07:28They secured the synthesized antidote.
07:30You're going to live.
07:31Don Vince froze, stunned.
07:33Bruno looked at me in absolute awe.
07:35First, her pastry helped you cough up the poison.
07:37Now, the moment she says you'd get better, we got the call about the cure.
07:41She's a good luck charm.
07:42A real angel.
07:43An angel?
07:44But Daddy always said I was a curse.
07:46Little one, do you want to stay here with me?
07:48But Daddy said I only bring bad luck.
07:51To me, you are my savior.
07:53You brought me hope.
07:54I do.
07:55I want to stay.
07:57I officially moved into the Capretti estate.
08:00Don Vince gave me a massive bedroom right next to his master suite.
08:03He bought me new clothes, shoes, and endless toys.
08:07To repay him, I tried sweeping the floors and feeding the fish.
08:10But Teresa, the housekeeper, always gently took the broom from my hands.
08:14Little one, if you do chorbs, the estate maids will be fired.
08:19There was only one job she allowed me, making sure Don Vince takes his medicine.
08:24The antidote would take time to safely arrive in New York.
08:27In the meantime, the doctor prescribed a bitter medication to prepare his body.
08:32Don Vince hated taking pills.
08:34But if I carried the silver tray and offered him a sweet gummy bear, the terrifying Don swallowed them without
08:40complaint.
08:41Bruno was always quiet and intimidating.
08:44I thought he still disliked me.
08:46But one afternoon, Vince finished his medicine and stared at me thoughtfully.
08:50She looks too bare.
08:52Something is missing.
08:53From the corner, Bruno spoke up.
08:55She needs a gold necklace with the family crest.
08:58Teresa once told me mafia children receive crest necklaces at birth.
09:02It warns enemies not to mess with them.
09:05I'll have the jeweler make it.
09:07No, I'll design it myself.
09:09Tomorrow, we take Angie to Fifth Avenue.
09:11The next afternoon, we arrived at a dazzling jewelry store.
09:15Don Vince and his guards went up to the VIP lounge to discuss the custom design.
09:19He left Bruno to watch me on the main floor and told me to pick out any jewelry I liked.
09:24Everything was too expensive.
09:26I didn't pick anything.
09:27But Bruno picked up a sparkling diamond hairpin and clipped it into my hair.
09:32Bruno, this is too expensive.
09:34Just then, a familiar voice rang out.
09:36Daddy, that hair cap is so pretty.
09:38I want it.
09:39I froze.
09:40It was Chloe.
09:41The moment Daddy saw me, horror flashed across his face.
09:44Afraid I would call him Daddy in public, he quickly pulled Chloe away.
09:48Chloe, sweetie, let's look at another display.
09:50No, that one is the prettiest.
09:52I want it.
09:53To appease her, Catherine marched over to snatch it from my head.
09:56Bruno reacted instantly.
09:58He grabbed her wrist and shoved her back onto the floor.
10:01Sal, your men are watching right outside.
10:03Are you just going to let them bully us?
10:06Catherine glared at Daddy.
10:07His face turned ice cold.
10:09Take the hairpin off.
10:10Give it to Chloe.
10:11I hadn't even wanted it.
10:13But his blatant favoritism sparked anger in my chest.
10:17No!
10:17Daddy lunged at me, but Bruno blocked him.
10:20First come, first serve, pal.
10:22Are you robbing us?
10:23Daddy smeared, not recognizing Bruno from that rainy night.
10:27Do you know who I am?
10:28I'm Sal Rucho.
10:30My syndicate answers to Don Vince.
10:32Get lost.
10:33Don Vince.
10:35Scared now?
10:36My father-in-law is a capital commanding the downtown district.
10:39You better hand it over.
10:43Street trash.
10:44How dare you drop Don Vince's name?
10:47Humiliated, Sal yelled for his thugs waiting outside.
10:49They rushed in, swarming Bruno.
10:52Brunny fought fiercely, but they outnumbered him.
10:57They slammed him into a glass display, shattering it completely.
11:01Stop!
11:01Just take it!
11:02Don't hurt Bruno!
11:04I cried, holding the hairpin out to Chloe.
11:07But Catherine grabbed a jagged sparred of glass.
11:10Stealing from my daughter?
11:11I'll teach you a lesson, you rat.
11:14Don't touch her!
11:15She's Don Vince's lucky charm!
11:17Lucky charm?
11:18She's a jinx.
11:20Catherine pinned me to the floor, raising the glass toward my cheek.
11:23Daddy just watched as Chloe cheered.
11:25My last scrat of hope for him died.
11:27I squeezed my eyes shut.
11:29He wasn't my daddy anymore, just Sal Russo, a stranger.
11:32Three deafening gunshots echoed.
11:34Warm blood from Catherine's arm splattered my cheek.
11:36She screamed, dropping the glass.
11:39Who dares to touch my daughter?
11:47Before mama passed away, she held my hand and told me to always obey daddy.
11:52My stepmother Catherine said I ate too much, so daddy only fed me once a day.
11:57I obeyed.
11:57My stepsister Chloe called me dirty, so daddy made me sleep on the cold garage floor.
12:02I obeyed that too.
12:04But no matter what, daddy still hated me.
12:07He just wanted to throw me away.
12:09On Thanksgiving night, rain poured down.
12:12Chloe was screaming for a canola, so daddy shoved a crumpled dollar bickle into my hand.
12:17Go to 8th Street Bakery, now.
12:19But it's so far.
12:21Okay, I understand.
12:23I walked for hours through the freezing rain before finally buying the canola.

13:03I swallowed hard and stepped closer to the open car door.
13:06Are you afraid they're too bitter?
13:08I have a canola.
13:10It's very sweet.
13:11I can give it to you.
13:13Maybe I approached too suddenly.
13:14The handsome man's striking gray eyes widened.
13:17A harsh gust of wind blew past.

13:57He was so handsome, but he looked deeply sick.

14:05His eyes held so much sorrow.
14:08It made me forget Mama's rule about talking to strangers.

17:43When he saw me in the corner, he shoved the tray into my hands.
17:46You try.
17:47Huh?
17:48Vince finally noticed me.
17:49He waved me over.
17:51Don, Mama said medicine makes sick people better.
17:54I'm not sick, little one.
17:55I was poisoned.
17:56These pills just numb the pain.
17:57They won't save me.
17:58The room fell into a mournful silence.
18:00Was he going to die, just like Mama?
18:03Don, I know you'll find the cure and get better.
18:06Suddenly, a bodyguard burst through the double doors.
18:08Boss, our contacts in South America just called.
18:11They secured the synthesized antidote.
18:13You're going to live.
18:14Don Vince froze, stunned.
18:16Bruno looked at me in absolute awe.
18:18First, her pastry helped you cough up the poison.
18:21Now, the moment she says you'd get better, we got the call about the cure.
18:24She's a good luck charm.
18:25A real angel.
18:26An angel, but Daddy always said I was a curse.
18:29Little one, do you want to stay here with me?
18:31But Daddy said I only bring bad luck.
18:34To me, you are my savior.
18:36You brought me hope.
18:38I do.
18:39I want to stay.
18:40I officially moved into the Capretti estate.
18:43Don Vince gave me a massive bedroom right next to his master suite.
18:46He bought me new clothes, shoes, and endless toys.
18:50To repay him, I tried sweeping the floors and feeding the fish.
18:53But Teresa, the housekeeper, always gently took the broom from my hands.
18:57Little one, if you do chores, the estate maids will be fired.
19:02There was only one job she allowed me, making sure Don Vince takes his medicine.
19:07The antidote would take time to safely arrive in New York.
19:10In the meantime, the doctor prescribed a bitter medication to prepare his body.
19:16Don Vince hated taking pills.
19:18But if I carried the silver tray and offered him a sweet gummy bear, the terrifying Don swallowed them without
19:23complaint.
19:25Bruno was always quiet and intimidating.
19:27I thought he still disliked me.
19:29But one afternoon, Vince finished his medicine and stared at me thoughtfully.
19:34She looks too bare.
19:35Something is missing.
19:36From the corner, Bruno spoke up.
19:39She needs a gold necklace with the family crest.
19:42Teresa once told me mafia children receive crest necklaces at birth.
19:45It warns enemies not to mess with them.
19:48I'll have the jeweler make it.
19:49No.
19:50I'll design it myself.
19:52Tomorrow, we take Angie to Fifth Avenue.
19:54The next afternoon, we arrived at a dazzling jewelry store.
19:58Don Vince and his guards went up to the VIP lounge to discuss the custom design.
20:03He left Bruno to watch me on the main floor and told me to pick out any jewelry I liked.
20:08Everything was too expensive.
20:09I didn't pick anything.
20:10But Bruno picked up a sparkling diamond hairpin and clipped it into my hair.
20:15Bruno, this is too expensive.
20:17Just then, a familiar voice rang out.
20:19Daddy, that hair clip is so pretty.
20:21I want it.
20:22I froze.
20:23It was Chloe.
20:24The moment Daddy saw me, horror flashed across his face.
20:27Afraid I would call him Daddy in public, he quickly pulled Chloe away.
20:31Chloe, sweetie, let's look at another display.
20:33No!
20:34That one is the prettiest.
20:35I want it!
20:36To appease her, Catherine marched over to snatch it from my head.
20:39Bruno reacted instantly.
20:41He grabbed her wrist and shoved her back onto the floor.
20:44Sal, your men are watching right outside.
20:46Are you just going to let them bully us?
20:49Catherine glared at Daddy.
20:50His face turned ice cold.
20:52Take the hairpin off.
20:53Give it to Chloe.
20:55I hadn't even wanted it.
20:56But his blatant favoritism sparked anger in my chest.
21:00No!
21:01Daddy lunged at me, but Bruno blocked him.
21:03First come, first served, pal.
21:05Are you robbing us?
21:07Daddy smeared, not recognizing Bruno from that rainy night.
21:10Do you know who I am?
21:11I'm Sal Rucho.
21:13My syndicate answers to Don Vince.
21:15Get lost.
21:16Don Vince.
21:18Scared now?
21:19My father-in-law is a capital commanding the downtown district.
21:22You better hand it over.
21:26Street trash.
21:27How dare you drop Don Vince's name.
21:30Humiliated, Sal yelled for his thugs waiting outside.
21:33They rushed in, swarming Bruno.
21:36Brunny fought fiercely, but they outnumbered him.
21:40They slammed him into a glass display, shattering it completely.
21:44Stop!
21:45Just take it!
21:46Don't hurt Bruno!
21:47I cried, holding the hairpin out to Chloe.
21:50But Catherine grabbed a jagged spart of glass.
21:53Stealing from my daughter?
21:55I'll teach you a lesson, you rat.
21:57Don't touch her!
21:58She's Don Vince's lucky charm!
22:00Lucky charm?
22:01She's a jinx.
22:03Catherine pinned me to the floor, raising the glass toward my cheek.
22:06Daddy just watched as Chloe cheered.
22:08My last scrat of hope for him died.
22:11I squeezed my eyes shut.
22:12He wasn't my daddy anymore, just Sal Russo, a stranger.
22:15Three deafening gunshots echoed.
22:17Warm blood from Catherine's arm splattered my cheek.
22:20She screamed, dropping the glass.
22:22Who dares to touch my daughter?
22:30Before Mama passed away, she held my hand and told me to always obey Daddy.
22:35My stepmother Catherine said I ate too much, so Daddy only fed me once a day.
22:40I obeyed.
22:41My stepsister Chloe called me dirty, so Daddy made me sleep on the cold garage floor.
22:46I obeyed that too.
22:47But no matter what, Daddy still hated me.
22:50He just wanted to throw me away.
22:53On Thanksgiving night, rain poured down.
22:55Chloe was screaming for a canola, so Daddy shoved a crumpled dollar bickle into my hand.
23:00Go to 8th Street Bakery, now!
23:02But it's so far!
23:05Okay, I understand.
23:06I walked for hours through the freezing rain before finally buying the cannoli.
23:10But when I returned to the apartment, they were all gone.
23:13I waited in the dark, empty room for two days.
23:17Starving and freezing, I found Mama's old notebook.
23:20It had Daddy's work address in the city.
23:22I walked a whole day and night to Manhattan.
23:24Outside the fanciest restaurant in the city, I saw them.
23:28Through the glass, they were clinking glasses, celebrating.
23:31Right then, I knew Daddy was never coming back for me.
23:34I looked down at the stale canali in my hands.
23:37I decided to just eat it.
23:39Just then, near a sleek black SUV, I heard a man begging.
23:43Don, please, you need to take your pills.
23:46I swallowed hard and stepped closer to the open car door.
23:50Are you afraid they're too bitter?
23:52I have a canola.
23:53It's very sweet.
23:54I can give it to you.
23:56Maybe I approached too suddenly.
23:58The handsome man's striking grey eyes widened.
24:00A harsh gust of wind blew past.
24:02He suddenly started coughing violently.
24:04The bodyguard in the black suit sloured and pushed me back.
24:08Where the hell did this stray kid come from?
24:10Get lost!
24:11Don, are you alright?
24:12The shove sent me crashing onto the pavement.
24:15The pastry box slipped from my frozen fingers and hit the wet concrete.
24:19I sat on the freezing ground, staring at the mess.
24:22I guess they don't want it either.
24:24Never mind.
24:25I pushed myself up, grabbed the filthy box and walked away.
24:29A voice, raspy but commanding, echoed behind me.
24:33Wait.
24:33I turned around.
24:35I turned around.
24:35The handsome man had stopped coughing.
24:38He was walking towards me.
24:40He was so handsome, but he looked deeply sick.
24:43Just taking those few vapes had left him breathless.
24:47Little girl, what's your name?
24:49His eyes held so much sorrow.
24:51It made me forget Mama's rule about talking to strangers.
24:56Angie.
24:56How old are you, Angie?
24:58Six.
24:59He frowned, his gaze dropping to my soaked raincoat.
25:03Why are you out here alone?
25:05Where are your parents?
25:07Hearing the gentle concern in his voice, warm tears rolled down my cheeks.
25:11Mama is dead.
25:13And Daddy, he has a new family now.
25:16He threw me away.
25:17Deep down, I had known Daddy didn't want me long before tonight.
25:20I was barely a baby when he left our little home in Yonkers.
25:23He said he was heading downtown to work for the syndicates.
25:25He promised to come back for us once he made it.
25:27For five years, there was only silence.
25:29The neighbors used to whisper behind Mama's back,
25:32Your sal found a Kakapi's daughter downtown.
25:34They even had a little girl together.
25:36Mama didn't believe them, but every night, she left voicemails he never answered.
25:40Earlier this year, Daddy finally came back.
25:42He drove a luxury car and wore expensive, tailored suits.
25:45Beside him was a beautiful, wealthy woman holding a spoiled little girl.
25:49He had a terrible fight with Mama in our cramped kitchen.
25:52Elena, just sign the divorce papers.
25:54Don't make this a mess.
25:55I didn't understand all his words, but I knew Mama was heartbroken.
25:59He walked out with the signed papers.
26:01He didn't even glance at me.
26:03After that, Mama got sick.
26:04The doctor said it was cancer.
26:05She wouldn't survive the winter.
26:07On her deathbed, she held my face with shaking hands.
26:10Angie, when I'm gone, you have to be good.
26:12Always listen to your daddy.
26:13Never make him mad.
26:14It's the only way he'll keep you.
26:16I tried so hard to be good.
26:18When Chloe wanted to play horse, I got on all fours and let her ride me.
26:21When Catherine burned the doll Mom made for me, I didn't even cry.
26:25But they still called me cursed, blaming me for my own mother's death.
26:28And in the end, they threw me away.
26:30The icy wind cut through my thin coat.
26:33In front of me, the handsome Don's eyes filled with pidity.
26:37How could any father ever abandon his own child?
26:40Will you give that canala to me?
26:41It's dirty.
26:42It dropped in the puddle.
26:43You can't eat it.
26:44I tried to hide the soggy package behind my back, but his pale, elegant fingers gently took the box from
26:49my hands.
26:50There are clean parts inside.
26:52As he opened the crushed box, the bodyguard beside him panicked.
26:55Don, no!
26:56You can't eat street trash!
26:57It's fine, Bruno.
26:58The handsome Don pinched a piece of the shell that was clean and put it in his mouth.
27:02Instantly, his body went stidic.
27:04He coughed violently, spitting up a mouthful of dark, clotted blood onto the ground.
27:08Don!
27:09Bruno went pale with terror, rushing forward to catch his collapsing master.
27:12Leaving his boss with the other guards, Bruno turned and grabbed my collar.
27:16Brad, who sent you?
27:18Do you have any idea who you just poisoned?
27:20Don Vince Capretti, the most powerful mob boss in New York!
27:23He looked like he wanted to tear me apart.
27:24I kicked and screamed in terror.
27:27Just then, over Bruno's shoulder, I saw Daddy walking out of the restaurant.
27:31Daddy, help me!
27:33Daddy stopped, seeing me being held by the terrifying men in suits.
27:36Not wanting to get involved, he scoffed.
27:39Where did this little beggar come from?
27:41Don't call me Daddy!
27:42He hurried away, pushing Catherine and Chloe into their car without ever looking back.
27:47I was dragged into a massive mansion.
27:49A beautiful but fierce woman glared at me.
27:51Who sent you to kill my brother?
27:53Father, speak, or I'll feed you to the hounds.
27:55Two massive guard dogs barked, jaws snapping.
27:57I didn't!
27:58I thought a sweet pastry would help him take his medication.
28:01She sneered and reached to unleash the dogs.
28:03Stop!
28:04The Don is awake!
28:05She froze and rushed upstairs.
28:07A guard halted me up right behind her.
28:09Inside the grand bedroom, Don Vince was sitting up.
28:12It's a miracle!
28:13That pastry actually made the Don cough up some of the poisoned blood.
28:16Everyone cheered.
28:17Bruno seized the moment, urging the Don to take his pills.
28:20But Vince pushed the silver tray away.
28:22It's useless, Bruno.
28:24Throw it away.
28:25Bruno looked completely defeated.
28:26When he saw me in the corner, he shoved the tray into my hands.
28:29You try.
28:30Huh?
28:31Vince finally noticed me.
28:33He waved me over.
28:34Don, Mama said medicine makes sick people better.
28:37I'm not sick, little one.
28:38I was poisoned.
28:39These pills just numb the pain.
28:40They won't save me.
28:41The room fell into a mournful silence.
28:43Was he going to die, just like Mama?
28:46Don, I know you'll find the cure and get better.

35:40How old are you, Angie?
35:42Six.

35:46Why are you out here alone?
35:48Where are your parents?

36:42He walked out with the signed papers.
36:44He didn't even glance at me.
36:46After that, Mama got sick.
36:47The doctor said it was cancer.
36:49She wouldn't survive the winter.
36:50On her deathbed, she held my face with shaking hands.
36:53Angie, when I'm gone, you have to be good.
36:55Always listen to your daddy.
36:56Never make him mad.
36:58It's the only way he'll keep you.
36:59I tried so hard to be good.
37:01When Chloe wanted to play horse, I got on all fours and let her ride me.
37:05When Catherine burned the doll Mom made for me, I didn't even cry.
37:08But they still called me cursed, blaming me for my own mother's death.
37:11And in the end, they threw me away.
37:13The icy wind cut through my thin coat.
37:17In front of me, the handsome Don's eyes filled with pity.
37:20How could any father ever abandon his own child?
37:23Will you give that canala to me?
37:24It's dirty.
37:25It dropped in the puddle.
37:27You can't eat it.
37:28I tried to hide the soggy package behind my back,
37:30but his pale, elegant fingers gently took the box from my hands.
37:33There are clean parts inside.
37:35As he opened the crushed box, the bodyguard beside him panicked.
37:38Don, no!
37:39You can't eat street trash!
37:40It's fine, Bruno.
37:41The handsome Don pinched a piece of the shell that was clean and put it in his mouth.
37:45Instantly, his body went stidic.
37:48He coughed violently, spitting up a mouthful of dark, clotted blood onto the ground.
37:52Bruno went pale with terror, rushing forward to catch his collapsing master.
37:55Leaving his boss with the other guards, Bruno turned and grabbed my collar.
37:59Brat!
37:59Who sent you?
38:01Do you have any idea who you just poisoned?
38:03Don Vince Capretti, the most powerful mob boss in New York!
38:06He looked like he wanted to tear me apart.
38:08I kicked and screamed in terror.
38:10Just then, over Bruno's shoulder, I saw Daddy walking out of the restaurant.
38:14Daddy, help me!
38:16Daddy stopped, seeing me being held by the terrifying men in suits.
38:19Not wanting to get involved, he scoffed.
38:22Where did this little beggar come from?
38:24Don't call me Daddy!
38:25He hurried away, pushing Catherine and Chloe into their car without ever looking back.
38:30I was dragged into a massive mansion.
38:33A beautiful but fierce woman glared at me.
38:35Who sent you to kill my brother?
38:36Speak, or I'll feed you to the hounds.
38:38Two massive guard dogs barked, jaws snapping.
38:40I didn't!
38:41I thought a sweet pastry would help him take his medication!
38:44She sneered and reached to unleash the dogs.
38:46Stop!
38:47The Don is awake!
38:48She froze and rushed upstairs.
38:50A guard halted me up right behind her.
38:52Inside the grand bedroom, Don Vince was sitting up.
38:55It's a miracle!
38:56That pastry actually made the Don cough up some of the poisoned blood.
38:59Everyone cheered.
39:01Bruno seized the moment, urging the Don to take his pills.
39:04But Vince pushed the silver tray away.
39:06It's useless, Bruno.
39:07Throw it away.
39:08Bruno looked completely defeated.
39:09When he saw me in the corner, he shoved the tray into my hands.
39:12You try.
39:13Huh?
39:14Vince finally noticed me.
39:16He waved me over.
39:17Don, Mama said medicine makes sick people better.
39:20I'm not sick, little one.
39:21I was poisoned.
39:22These pills just numb the pain.
39:23They won't save me.
39:24The room fell into a mournful silence.
39:27Was he going to die, just like Mama?
39:29Don, I know you'll find the cure and get better.
39:32Suddenly, a bodyguard burst through the double doors.
39:35Boss!
39:35Our contacts in South America just called.
39:37They secured the synthesized antidote.
39:39You're going to live.
39:40Don Vince froze, stunned.
39:43Bruno looked at me in absolute awe.
39:45First, her pastry helped you cough up the poison.
39:47Now, the moment she says you'd get better, we got the call about the cure.
39:50She's a good luck charm.
39:51A real angel.
39:53An angel?
39:53But Daddy always said I was a curse.
39:55Little one, do you want to stay here with me?
39:57But Daddy said I only bring bad luck.
40:00To me, you are my savior.
40:02You brought me hope.
40:04I do.
40:05I want to stay.
40:06I officially moved into the Capretti estate.
40:10Don Vince gave me a massive bedroom right next to his master suite.
40:13He bought me new clothes, shoes, and endless toys.
40:16To repay him, I tried sweeping the floors and feeding the fish.
40:20But Teresa, the housekeeper, always gently took the broom from my hands.
40:24Little one, if you do chorbs, the estate maids will be fired.
40:28There was only one job she allowed me, making sure Don Vince takes his medicine.
40:33The antidote would take time to safely arrive in New York.
40:36In the meantime, the doctor prescribed a bitter medication to prepare his body.
40:42Don Vince hated taking pills.
40:44But if I carried the silver tray and offered him a sweet gummy bear,
40:48the terrifying Don swallowed them without complaint.
40:51Bruno was always quiet and intimidating.
40:53I thought he still disliked me.
40:55But one afternoon, Vince finished his medicine and stared at me thoughtfully.
41:00She looks too bare.
41:01Something is missing.
41:03From the corner, Bruno spoke up.
41:05She needs a gold necklace.
41:06With the family crest.
41:08Teresa once told me mafia children receive crest necklaces at birth.
41:12It warns enemies not to mess with them.
41:14I'll have the jeweler make it.
41:16No.
41:17I'll design it myself.
41:18Tomorrow, we take Angie to Fifth Avenue.
41:20The next afternoon, we arrived at a dazzling jewelry store.
41:24Don Vince and his guards went up to the VIP lounge to discuss the custom design.
41:29He left Bruno to watch me on the main floor
41:31and told me to pick out any jewelry I liked.
41:34Everything was too expensive.
41:35I didn't pick anything.
41:36But Bruno picked up a sparkling diamond hairpin and clipped it into my hair.
41:41Bruno, this is too expensive.
41:43Just then, a familiar voice rang out.
41:46Daddy!
41:46That hair clip is so pretty!
41:48I want it!
41:48I froze.
41:49It was Chloe.
41:50The moment Daddy saw me, horror flashed across his face.
41:54Afraid I would call him Daddy in public, he quickly pulled Chloe away.
41:57Chloe, sweetie, let's look at another display.
41:59No!
42:00That one is the prettiest!
42:01I want it!
42:02To appease her, Catherine marched over to snatch it from my head.
42:06Bruno reacted instantly.
42:08He grabbed her wrist and shoved her back onto the floor.
42:10Sal, your men are watching right outside!
42:13Are you just going to let them bully us?
42:15Catherine glared at Daddy.
42:17His face turned ice cold.
42:18Take the hairpin off.
42:20Give it to Chloe.
42:20I hadn't even wanted it, but his blatant favoritism sparked anger in my chest.
42:26No!
42:27Daddy lunged at me, but Bruno blocked him.
42:30First come, first serve, pal.
42:31Are you robbing us?
42:33Daddy smeared, not recognizing Bruno from that rainy night.
42:36Do you know who I am?
42:38I'm Sal Rucho.
42:39My syndicate answers to Don Vince.
42:41Get lost.
42:43Don Vince.
42:44Scared now?
42:45My father-in-law is a capital commanding the downtown district.
42:48You better hand it over.
42:52Street trash.
42:53How dare you drop Don Vince's name?
42:56Humiliated, Sal yelled for his thugs waiting outside.
42:59They rushed in, swarming Bruno.
43:02Brunny fought fiercely, but they outnumbered him.
43:06They slammed him into a glass display, shattering it completely.
43:10Stop!
43:11Just take it!
43:12Don't hurt Bruno!
43:13I cried, holding the hairpin out to Chloe.
43:16But Catherine grabbed a jagged spart of glass.
43:20Stealing from my daughter?
43:21I'll teach you a lesson, you rat.
43:23Don't touch her!
43:24She's Don Vince's lucky charm!
43:26Lucky charm?
43:27She's a jinx.
43:29Catherine pinned me to the floor, raising the glass toward my cheek.
43:33Daddy just watched as Chloe cheered.
43:35My last scrat of hope for him died.
43:37I squeezed my eyes shut.
43:38He wasn't my daddy anymore, just Sal Russo, a stranger.
43:41Three deafening gunshots echoed.
43:43Warm blood from Catherine's arm splattered my cheek.
43:46She screamed, dropping the glass.
43:48Who dares to touch my daughter?
43:56Before Mama passed away, she held my hand and told me to always obey Daddy.
44:01My stepmother Catherine said I ate too much, so Daddy only fed me once a day.
44:06I obeyed.
44:07My stepsister Chloe called me dirty, so Daddy made me sleep on the cold garage floor.
44:12I obeyed that too.
44:14But no matter what, Daddy still hated me.
44:17He just wanted to throw me away.
44:18On Thanksgiving night, rain poured down.
44:22Chloe was screaming for a canola, so Daddy shoved a crumpled dollar bickle into my hand.
44:26Go to 8th Street Bakery, now.
44:29But it's so far.
44:31Okay, I understand.
44:33I walked for hours through the freezing rain before finally buying the cannoli.
44:37But when I returned to the apartment, they were all gone.
44:40I waited in the dark, empty room for two days.
44:43Starving and freezing, I found Mama's old notebook.
44:46It had Daddy's work address in the city.
44:48I walked a whole day and night to Manhattan.
44:51Outside the fanciest restaurant in the city, I saw them.
44:54Through the glass, they were clinking glasses, celebrating.
44:57Right then, I knew Daddy was never coming back for me.
45:01I looked down at the stale cannoli in my hands.
45:03I decided to just eat it.
45:05Just then, near a sleek black SUV, I heard a man begging.
45:09Don, please.
45:10You need to take your pills.
45:12I swallowed hard and stepped closer to the open car door.
45:16Are you afraid they're too bitter?
45:18I have a canala.
45:19It's very sweet.
45:21I can give it to you.
45:22Maybe I approached too suddenly.
45:24The handsome man's striking grey eyes widened.
45:26A harsh gust of wind blew past.
45:28He suddenly started coughing violently.
45:31The bodyguard in the black suit slured and pushed me back.
45:34Where the hell did this stray kid come from?
45:36Get lost!
45:38Don, are you alright?
45:39The shove sent me crashing onto the pavement.
45:41The pastry box slipped from my frozen fingers and hit the wet concrete.
45:46I sat on the freezing ground, staring at the mess.
45:48I guess they don't want it either.
45:51Never mind.
45:52I pushed myself up, grabbed the filthy box and walked away.
45:55A voice, raspy but commanding, echoed behind me.
45:59Wait.
46:00I turned around.
46:01The handsome man had stopped coughing.
46:04He was walking towards me.
46:06He was so handsome, but he looked deeply sick.
46:10Just taking those few vapes had left him breathless.
46:13Little girl, what's your name?
46:15His eyes held so much sorrow.
46:17It made me forget Mama's rule about talking to strangers.
46:22Angie.
46:23How old are you, Angie?
46:25Six.
46:26He frowned, his gaze dropping to my soaked raincoat.
46:29Why are you out here alone?
46:31Where are your parents?
46:33Hearing the gentle concern in his voice, warm tears rolled down my cheeks.
46:38Mama is dead.
46:39And Daddy, he has a new family now.
46:42He threw me away.
46:44Deep down, I had known Daddy didn't want me long before tonight.
46:46I was barely a baby when he left our little home in Yonkers.
46:49He said he was heading downtown to work for the syndicates.
46:52He promised to come back for us once he made it.
46:54For five years, there was only silence.
46:56The neighbors used to whisper behind Mama's back.
46:58Your sal found a Kakapi's daughter downtown.
47:00They even had a little girl together.
47:02Mama didn't believe them, but every night, she left voicemails he never answered.
47:06Earlier this year, Daddy finally came back.
47:08He drove a luxury car and wore expensive, tailored suits.
47:12Beside him was a beautiful, wealthy woman holding a spoiled little girl.
47:15He had a terrible fight with Mama in our cramped kitchen.
47:18Elena, just sign the divorce papers.
47:20Don't make this a mess.
47:21I didn't understand all his words, but I knew Mama was heartbroken.
47:25He walked out with the signed papers.
47:27He didn't even glance at me.
47:29After that, Mama got sick.
47:30The doctor said it was cancer.
47:32She wouldn't survive the winter.
47:33On her deathbed, she held my face with shaking hands.
47:36Angie, when I'm gone, you have to be good.
47:38Always listen to your daddy.
47:40Never make him mad.
47:41It's the only way he'll keep you.
47:42I tried so hard to be good.
47:44When Chloe wanted to play horse, I got on all fours and let her ride me.
47:48When Catherine burned the doll Mom made for me, I didn't even cry.
47:51But they still called me cursed, blaming me for my own mother's death.
47:54And in the end, they threw me away.
