00:08Me and Bianca. The twin queens. New York's two reigning women.
00:14Three years ago, Bianca and I fell out again. Two families drew guns over one east side dock.
00:25I waved everyone out of the room.
00:31The door shut and I pinned her to the table.
00:37She grabbed my collar and pulled back. By dawn, I booked a flight to Sicily.
00:42The family had a deal that needed me. Three years later, my assistant handed me a file.
00:48Boss, Bianca is the biggest joke in New York now. The file was thorough.
00:53Conti called Bianca to the long table. A blood test sat on the wood.
01:01She was not Conti blood. The old Don pulled the family ring off her hand. He gave it to the
01:07daughter they found, Mia Conti.
01:09Then he shoved a stack of files at her. Inside were all the people she had crossed for Conti.
01:13Your enemies are yours to carry.
01:17Has Conti lost its mind?
01:20She took half the east side for them. For years, no one dared touch Conti. That glory was hers.
01:28This is good for you, boss.
01:31Bianca can never get in your way again. I scoffed.
01:38Bianca only loses to me. She dies by my hand.
01:42Book the first flight. I'm going back to New York.
02:03On the flight back, I ran into Marco. He was Bianca's fiancé, meant to tie Lombardi to Conti.
02:09Now he had Mia Conti on his arm, bragging away.
02:13I'm the reason we landed that Brooklyn dock shipment.
02:17Bianca kept getting in my way. She never deserved the Conti name.
02:22Mia looked up at him and sighed softly.
02:25I just got back. I can't match Bianca at anything.
02:29She's a fake. One mistake. Nothing on you.
02:33Mia narrowed her eyes at that. Marco pulled her in tighter.
02:38I let out a thin laugh.
02:40Can't do anything? Then go die.
02:42Mia's smile dropped on the spot. She didn't know me. Her eyes flashed with offense.
02:48What's your problem? This is a private talk.
02:50Then Marco saw it was me, and his face changed.
02:53He pushed Mia aside and leaned in with a smile.
02:56Vera? Didn't know you were back in New York, too.
02:59Remember me? I'm Marco Lombardi. Our families work together.
03:03I didn't even bother taking off my sunglasses.
03:06I remember you.
03:08Bianca dragged you out from under a gun at that Brooklyn dock.
03:11She taught you the family business herself.
03:13While I fought her for turf, whose gun were you begging under?
03:16Both their faces went ugly.
03:24Off the plane, I got in the car.
03:27My assistant passed me a laptop.
03:29I worked while I gave the driver orders.
03:31Drive to the Kontaus. I want to see Bianca.
03:34Bianca was cast out. She's not at home.
03:38Where is she now?
03:39The assistant hesitated before speaking.
03:42At the sisters.
03:43I slammed the laptop shut.
03:45The sisters?
03:47They locked Bianca in there?
03:49No one leaves that damned convent alive.
03:51The assistant said nothing and gave a small nod.
03:55Drive now. I'm going to find her.
03:58An old convent sat outside the city.
04:01Its iron gate had rusted black.
04:04The underworld used it to hold failures.
04:07Or bodies.
04:09I came down the hall and heard a man's voice inside.
04:13Which route do Conti's shipments take?
04:16Who's the buyer?
04:18Talk.
04:19I pushed the door open and stared.
04:23Bianca was tied to an iron chair.
04:25Three men circled her.
04:28Half her face was bruised.
04:30The blood at her mouth had dried.
04:33One wrist was twisted at a wrong angle.
04:35All three were Conti's enemies.
04:38The man pressed his question again.
04:41Bianca lifted her head.
04:44Blood ran down her chin.
04:46She smiled.
04:48Your family business goes to the grave.
04:50Your boss never taught you that?
04:52Oh, I forgot.
04:54I buried him a while ago.
04:58I couldn't help the smile tugging at my mouth.
05:02Fuck.
05:03Bianca was dangerously hot.
05:06My men moved in behind me.
05:09I stood between the gunshots and the falling shells.
05:12Three men became corpses.
05:15I sent my people out to stand guard.
05:17Yeah.
05:21I walked over, bent down, and cut the strap biting her wrist.
05:26Her hand trembled once.
05:28She caught it fast, not wanting me to see.
05:31She looked up at me, her voice barely a breath.
05:33I hate it when you look down on me, Vera.
05:40I gripped her chin.
05:42My thumb wiped the blood at her mouth.
05:46Look at you, still busy provoking them.
05:48Not scared they'll actually kill you?
05:50She stared at me, then kissed my thumb.
05:53Relax.
05:54I'll only die by your hand.
05:56That one line told me she still remembered that night.
06:00Damn you, Bianca.
06:02Making trouble in my house?
06:05I'll cut you up and feed you to the rutting dogs.
06:08Mother Agnes ran this place.
06:10She shoved the door open, ready to settle scores with Bianca.
06:14The moment she saw me, her nerve vanished.
06:17She forced a fanning smile.
06:19Mrs. Marcelli, so it's you.
06:21Here to deal with your old rival?
06:23She's crossed you plenty.
06:24I can help.
06:25I bent and lifted Bianca into my arms.
06:28No time to spare Agnes a look.
06:30Level this place.
06:32Leave no one.
06:32Yes, boss.
06:34Agnes's smile froze.
06:36Her legs buckled and she dropped to her knees.
06:38In my arms, Bianca stopped fighting.
06:41She closed her eyes and leaned into my chest.
06:44I took Bianca back to my villa.
06:48A doctor stitched her brow and wrapped her wrist.
06:51I treated the wounds, but she's malnourished and short on sleep.
06:55Bianca leaned on the headboard, face still pale, chin still up.
07:00You're meddling again.
07:02I pushed a glass of water into her hand.
07:04I came a long way back from Sicily, not to bury you.
07:07She said nothing, staring at the bruises on her wrist.
07:11Conta dumped every enemy I made for them onto me.
07:14Three families.
07:16Russo, Gallo, Falcone.
07:17I cleared their people for Conti.
07:20Conti won't shield me now.
07:21They'll come for me soon.
07:22I sat down at the bedside.
07:24Three families?
07:26Give me two days.
07:27I'll clear them.
07:30She grabbed my wrist, eyes cold.
07:35I don't want pity, Vera.
07:37You vanished three years.
07:39I didn't need you then, and I don't need you now.
07:43Fine.
07:43Then I won't take your revenge for you.
07:46Tell me, who pays first?
07:50Conti.
07:52Tomorrow, I take back my gun and everything they stole from me.
07:58I pulled the blanket over her.
08:00The next day, wounds still raw.
08:02Bianca wanted to head to Conti.
08:04To do what?
08:05Take back my gun.
08:07That revolver had been with her ten years.
08:08The day Conti threw her out, they took the gun to the Conti house.
08:12The people she once built up all kept their heads down.
08:15One man shoulder checked her on purpose.
08:17Well, well.
08:18Look who's here.
08:19The famous queens.
08:20Used to order us around.
08:22Now what are you?
08:23Bianca ignored him and walked straight in.
08:25Inside the parlor, Mia was nestled in Marco's arms.
08:27At the sight of Bianca, Mrs. Conti's face changed.
08:30You actually dared run from the sisters?
08:32The old Don stood by the window, his face dark and frightening.
08:35Who let you leave the sisters?
08:36Three families are watching you.
08:38You ran home and dragged your enemies to my door.
08:40You're a curse.
08:41Behind him, a man drew a gun.
08:43He pressed it to the back of her head.
08:45Bianca didn't flinch.
08:47I walked into the parlor too.
08:49All fake smiles and small talk.
08:51Forgive the intrusion, Don Conti.
08:53Three years gone, and your family still amuses me with its stupidity.
08:57The old Don bristled at me.
08:59I never cared about Conti.
09:00In that whole family, only Bianca could stand against me.
09:03He didn't dare touch me.
09:05And he wouldn't risk Bianca dying here with no one left to hold me back.
09:10A wave of his hand sent the gun away.
09:13Mia rose from her mother's arms and stepped toward Bianca with a sigh.
09:17Bianca, look what you've done to yourself.
09:20She used to be somebody.
09:22Seeing her this low is painful.
09:24The look she threw Bianca was pure smugness, not a shred of real pity.
09:28Marco lifted a glass from the table and looked her up and down.
09:33Look at you now.
09:34Without the family name, you're nothing.
09:36He flicked his wrist and splashed half a glass on her.
09:40You're just a thief who stole Mia's life.
09:44Wine dripped off her chin.
09:45I drew my gun and fired.
09:49The glass exploded in Marco's hand.
09:52Hmph.
09:54Who the hell are you to touch her?
09:59Miss Marchetti, I'm so glad you came.
10:02I was about to send for you.
10:03The orchid has a dinner tonight, thrown for you.
10:06You have to come.
10:07I ignored her and looked only at the old Don.
10:10Her gun.
10:10The old Don stared at me a moment, then didn't dare refuse.
10:14Someone fetched the revolver and placed it in Bianca's hand.
10:18She gripped it, then let go.
10:20Mia was still waiting for my answer.
10:22I gave her a smile.
10:24Of course, Miss Conti.
10:25Since it's your invitation, Mia had thrown tonight as her own coronation.
10:29She had invited all of New York to watch her take the Conti ring.
10:32That ring once sat on Bianca's hand.
10:35At the dinner, a ring of people closed in the moment I walked in.
10:39Miss Marchetti, you finally made it.
10:41It's been too long, Miss Marchetti.
10:42But when they saw Bianca behind me, the smiles vanished.
10:46They turned their heads and whispered,
10:47I heard Vera pulled her out of the sisters.
10:50Vera holds a grudge.
10:51First thing back, she humiliates her old rival.
10:54Bianca was in all black, her wounds half-yield.
10:57She still looked down on everyone in the room.
10:59She walked straight in.
11:00A few sharply dressed men stood at the bar.
11:03Each had a stylish woman on his arm.
11:06One raised his glass and tipped his chin at Bianca.
11:09He said it loud enough for his date to hear.
11:11Shield pulled and she still shows her face?
11:13She's a walking corpse now.
11:15His date covered her mouth and laughed.
11:17Another man chimed in.
11:19Let's split her bounty.
11:20Arm for me, head for you, everyone wins.
11:22To these people, Bianca was already a dead woman.
11:49She glanced sideways at Bianca.
11:51Then she shot a look at a few men in the corner.
11:54Those were the men from Russo, Gallo, and Falcana.
11:57She leaned close and lowered her voice, fishing for credit.
12:00Bianca owes these three families a blood debt.
12:02I invited them to settle it tonight.
12:03Miss Marchetti, tonight you can finally have your revenge.
12:06I raised an eyebrow.
12:07You want Bianca dead here?
12:09The debt buried with her?
12:10The spoil's all yours?
12:11She brought it on herself.
12:14Smugness covered Mia's face.
12:16Dozens of enemies moved toward us.
12:19Guns and knives under their suits.
12:21I stepped forward and put myself in front of Bianca.
12:24Behind me, Bianca drew the revolver and slapped it on the table.
12:28The whole room went silent.
12:30Bianca flipped the cylinder open and turned it for everyone to see.
12:33Only one bullet sat inside.
12:36Six chambers.
12:38One bullet.
12:39She spun the cylinder and snapped it shut.
12:42Simple rules.
12:44Gun to your own head.
12:46Pull the trigger.
12:47It fires.
12:48You die.
12:50It clicks.
12:51You live.
12:52This was an old underworld rule.
12:54Power changing hands always came with a life or death bet.
12:57The dead carried the debt.
12:58Only the survivor was fit to touch Conte.
13:00My chest tightened and I spun around at once.
13:03I had no plan to let her gamble with her life.
13:05As I turned my head, my lips brushed hers.
13:08She leaned to my ear.
13:11Trust me.
13:12I stepped back and gave her the floor.
13:16Mia went white and pointed at Bianca, her voice gone strict.
13:20I made it clear.
13:21She needs enemies.
13:21She should pay.
13:22Why me?
13:23The three families ignored Mia.
13:24Their leader nodded at me.
13:25Ms. Marchetti, then please witness this.
13:28Whoever the debt lands on tonight plays by the rules.
13:30No backing out.
13:31Mia was terrified and started shouting at once.
13:34This is your gun.
13:34Who knows if you rigged it?
13:36This isn't fair.
13:37Scornful laughter rose around the room.
13:39That little nerve and you want the Kanto seat?
13:41Bianca pressed the muzzle to her own temple.
13:43I'll go easy on you.
13:44I fire five times.
13:46You fire once.
13:47Mia froze, then nodded hard and fast.
13:49Bianca pulled the trigger.
13:51Click.
13:51Click.
13:52Five times in a row.
13:53She didn't blink.
13:54The whole room was stunned by what she'd done.
13:56She pulled the trigger five times?
13:58That's insane.
13:59One bullet left now.
14:00It's Mia's turn to fire.
14:01Bianca spun the gun on her finger and held it out to Mia.
14:04Your turn, Kanti.
14:05Keep your promise.
14:06Mia shook from head to toe.
14:08You're insane!
14:09You're a complete lunaturn!
14:10She dropped Marco and bolted for the door.
14:12Marco tried to follow, but his legs gave and he hit the floor.
14:15The whole room went dead silent.
14:17Bianca turned to the ring of enemies and held out the gun.
14:20I killed your people for Kanti.
14:22I won't deny it.
14:23Take your revenge.
14:24She swept her eyes across their faces and spoke slowly.
14:26Or aim it at who truly wronged you.
14:28Kanto is full of fools now.
14:30Follow me.
14:31Take back power, status, and glory.
14:33No one spoke.
14:35Then one old enemy stood and walked up to her.
14:38He took Bianca's gun and fired the last bound into the ceiling.
14:41He handed the revolver back to her with respect.
14:44We respect strength.
14:45As you wish, boss.
14:48The rest of the enemies fell in line one by one.
14:51In a blink, Bianca had her own force.
14:53Still frozen in place, Marco cried out.
14:56No.
14:56This can't be.
14:58Vera, you'll just watch Bianca claw her way back.
15:00If she rises, your days on top are over.
15:02Do something!
15:04Bianca looked at me.
15:05Her smile was bold and bright.
15:08Got something you want to do to me?
15:10We're supposed to be mortal enemies!
15:12Marco was losing in it.
15:13Right.
15:13All of New York believed it for 20 years.
15:15The twin queens, fighting to the death.
15:18Bianca tilted her head and smiled the same as that night three years ago.
15:21Of course we're mortal enemies.
15:23Even mortal enemies can win together.
15:28The day after the dinner, all of New York knew.
15:31The twin queens had landed on the same side.
15:34Once the party ended, Bianca went back to the old Conti house.
15:38She meant to end things with that family face to face.
15:42I followed, hands off, and leaned by the door to watch.
15:46The old Don sat at the head of the table, his wife beside him.
15:50When Bianca walked in, both their faces changed.
15:53What did you come back for?
15:55Bianca slapped a list on the table.
15:57Every turf I won for Conti, every enemy I cleared, it's all here.
16:02You said I wasn't Conti blood.
16:05You dumped my debts on me and sent me to the sisters.
16:10When three families hunted my head, which of you ever checked on me?
16:14The old Don opened his mouth, struggling for words.
16:17Bianca, Conti still raised you, even if not by blood.
16:20When I bled for you, I was Conti. When the debt came, I wasn't.
16:24The wife stood and reached to pull her back.
16:26Bianca, listen to me!
16:28Bianca stepped back and dodged her hand.
16:31From today, I'm done with Conti.
16:36You still have your real daughter? Go enjoy that.
16:41She turned and walked out.
16:44I shrugged at the two of them and followed her out.
16:51Seen enough?
16:52That show of yours was worth watching.
16:55What will it take to make you shut up?
16:57Killing you?
17:00Or kissing me?
17:02Come on.
17:04Drinks.
17:04Your treat.
17:05I've got no home now anyway.
17:09That night, she came back to my villa.
17:12I laid out everything I could give on the table.
17:15A map.
17:16My fattest turf circled on it.
17:18Beside it, a list of people I could lend her.
17:21On top, a gun.
17:24Pick.
17:25Take any of it, and all of Marchetti backs you.
17:30She didn't touch a single thing.
17:33What I want is something else.
17:35Let's hear it.
17:37The key to your place.
17:39A little surprised, I leaned against the long table and teased her.
17:42A key so you can come assassinate me?
17:45There's no one else I can trust.
17:47Only you.
17:48I froze.
17:48It was the first time Bianca didn't hide what she felt.
17:51The first time she showed me something fragile.
17:54People who betray the family lose protection, income, contacts, and name.
17:58And the ones the family betrays?
17:59I have nowhere left.
18:01I need somewhere safe to sleep.
18:02Beside you.
18:03I lifted a hand and stroked the side of her face, thumb brushing her lips.
18:07Fuck you, Bianca.
18:08You win.
18:09Bianca didn't need my help.
18:11She pulled together a family of her own from the enemies she took in.
18:14By day, I never saw her.
18:16At night, she came to my place.
18:17Blood had soaked through the cloth at her left shoulder, one arm hanging useless.
18:21She came into my sud and sat on my desk, facing me.
18:24I stood and peeled off her blood-soaked coat.
18:27The wound was deep, still seeping.
18:29I cleaned it, treated it, and wrapped it.
18:32The whole time, she kept her eyes on my face.
18:35When I finished, I asked her.
18:39Why watch me?
18:40She turned her head and looked at me.
18:42You're terrible at this. It hurts.
18:45I pulled open a drawer.
18:48You want morphine or something else?
18:51A kiss.
18:52She said it with her chin up, that usual challenge in her.
18:56I leaned.
18:56That same night, my brother Dante called me.
18:59He was laughing on the other end.
19:01Your rival there didn't just grab resources.
19:04She poached all of Conti's business.
19:06Half the city's heirs are sending gifts to her door, lining up to court her.
19:11These people would line up from the docks to the church.
19:15My lawyer floated an idea.
19:17Marry Bianca, and Martetti becomes the biggest family in New York.
19:20I glanced at Bianca, already asleep in the bed.
19:24I lowered my voice to answer Dante.
19:27Are you provoking me, Dante?
19:29I'm reminding you.
19:31She waited three years.
19:33You'll make her wait more.
19:36I went quiet for a few seconds, then hung up.
19:40I never cared about Bianca's love life.
19:43But this time, the list of her suitors reached me.
19:46It set me on edge.
19:48Every family trying to get close to her, I swallowed whole, one by one.
19:55Some merged into Marchetti overnight.
19:57Others changed hands.
20:00A few vanished from the city entirely.
20:04Within a month, not one dared send gifts to her door anymore.
20:08I studied the map of power on my desk.
20:11My assistant knocked and came into the study.
20:15Many families want to know where you stand.
20:18You helped Bianca, but you won't let her marry into power elsewhere.
20:22They can't tell if you mean to swallow her new force, or something else.
20:28I thought about it.
20:31I want her.
20:33Get me a jeweler.
20:35I need two rings made.
20:38Bianca's new family began to snowball.
20:41The turf she seized kept stacking up, one piece after another.
20:45Mia took over the holdings Bianca left behind.
20:47Every piece she touched rotted.
20:49Docks were lost.
20:50The casino was raided.
20:51The front businesses collapsed one by one.
20:53My people inside Conti told me how it came apart.
20:59He called every capo who'd served him for years back to the villa.
21:04By the time they gathered, half the chairs sat empty.
21:08The men in those seats had defected the night before.
21:11They took their guns and turf to Bianca.
21:14The oldest cap he stood.
21:17He pulled the Conti crest off his chest and set it on the table.
21:23She's still alive, still winning.
21:25We know who to follow.
21:30Traitors!
21:31Everyone I raised turned out a traitor!
21:33No one answered him.
21:35The capi stood and walked out, one after another.
21:42Shouldn't we go talk to Bianca?
21:44The old Don shook with rage and slammed the table.
21:48Quiet!
21:49Conti will never bow to filthy traitors!
21:52This family wasn't built by her alone!
21:54If you weren't so useless, would it be falling?
21:57Mia lowered her head, afraid to say no.
22:01I heard Mia went to Marco that same night.
22:04What do I do?
22:06No one in the family trusts me.
22:08Even the Don blames me.
22:10Marco held her in his arms but had no answer.
22:13Bianca had run everything for him.
22:15As the fiancé, he only had to enjoy it.
22:19He knew nothing about the family business himself.
22:23Mia lifted her head and kissed the corner of his mouth.
22:27Let's go to Bianca.
22:29Help me ask her to come back.
22:34Marco hesitated, then nodded.
22:38The next day, the two of them showed up outside Bianca's new place.
22:43I happened to be visiting.
22:44The men at the door blocked them outside.
22:47No word from the boss.
22:49No one gets in.
22:50Do you know who I am? Move!
22:53Marco bristled on the spot.
22:54The man didn't even look at him, hand going to gun at his waist.
22:58Mia yanked Marco back and put on a wounded face.
23:01Just announce us.
23:02We're family after all.
23:04She won't refuse.
23:06Bianca stood behind the second floor window, watching the two below.
23:10I poured her half a glass of red wine.
23:13Bianca held the glass.
23:15Not seeing them?
23:18No.
23:20They're not here, sorry.
23:22They're here because they can't function without me.
23:28I don't have time to watch them play regret.
23:32They waited a long while, never got upstairs, and were shown out.
23:37Failing to win her back, Canto couldn't hold on.
23:40They were sidelined, cut from income, stripped of protection, forced to pay up.
23:46Within a month, Conti fell apart.
23:49The old Don took the rest and sailed off overseas.
23:54Where they went, no one knew, and no one saw them again.
23:58A family that once owned half the city was wiped off the board.
24:03Marco tried to grab one last score in the chaos.
24:07He lashed onto a new woman.
24:10He didn't know she was a famous black widow.
24:14She took everything Marco Lombardi had.
24:19Marco vanished from New York for good.
24:24I brought the news to Bianca.
24:26I thought she'd react, at least a little.
24:30She glanced at it once and set the page down.
24:34Not my problem.
24:35I couldn't resist needling her.
24:37You were a Conti for 20 years.
24:39Bianca hurled the butterfly knife in her hand, straight at me.
24:43I tilted my head.
24:44The blade grazed the hair by my face and stuck in the wall.
24:47You swallowed my dock shipment last week, and you still make sick jokes?
24:51I pulled the knife from the wall.
24:53I stepped behind her, blade back against her throat.
24:59Dante's lawyer says to marry you.
25:01Mine says to handle you.
25:04So what should I do?
25:06Bianca wasn't afraid in the least.
25:08She leaned back, her head against my stomach.
25:12Kiss me.
25:16And one kiss wouldn't be enough.
25:19The old world was swept clean.
25:22Everyone who'd stepped on her got what they deserved.
25:25Only the two of us were left.
25:27And neither said that thing out loud.
25:29But that kiss was getting hard to hold back.
25:50The circle threw a banquet for us.
25:53A room full of people raised their glasses to the twin queens.
25:57They drank to the city's new rulers.
25:59Dante was there too, and he scoffed at Bianca's back.
26:04The whole city sees you two as enemies.
26:07Twenty years of it.
26:09But from where I stand,
26:11you protect her more than anyone.
26:14I didn't deny it.
26:16In this city, only she has fought me twenty years and lived.
26:20The one who knows you best is always your rival.
26:24Dante laughed and asked nothing more.
26:27He knew better than anyone.
26:29Only Bianca was fit to stand beside me.
26:31Part way through, Bianca stepped out for air, and I followed.
26:36The second floor terrace of the villa, the wind cold.
26:40She leaned on the railing.
26:43Half the city's lights spread out below us.
26:46She didn't look at me, then spoke suddenly.
26:50After that night, three years ago, why did you go to Sicily?
26:55I came to a stop beside her.
26:58She'd held that question in for three years.
27:01The family had a deal that needed me.
27:03She turned her head, her eyes plainly not buying it.
27:06I had no intention of lying to her.
27:09That night, I dropped a hard line and left.
27:12I was afraid one more day, and it would stop being just a line.
27:16She let out a soft laugh.
27:19This time, it was my turn to ask.
27:22If it were me in trouble, thrown into the sisters, would you stand by?
27:31She was silent for a long time.
27:35No.
