00:19It's ok, it's ok.
00:22Suck, loose thread.
00:24It hurts.
00:26Oh my god.
00:27Did that baby just speak?
00:29Please, baby, don't cry.
00:31What do I do?
00:32Can I try?
00:36When the baby stopped crying, the new mom finally relaxed.
00:40She noticed how down and out I looked.
00:42Do you need help?
00:43I couldn't get the words out.
00:44She shoved a flyer into my hand.
00:46Live and nanny wanted, room and board included.
00:48That single flyer changed my life.
00:51It put me forever out of my ex's league.
00:53That very night, I followed the address straight to the Meretti estate,
00:56home to Sterling's oldest mafia family.
00:58The butler led me down a dim hallway.
01:00We passed a cracked door, then a gunshot.
01:03A man dropped to the floor.
01:04Through the gap in the door, I recognized the face I'd seen in the newspaper.
01:08The butler finally broke the silence.
01:10The Don's handling business? Pay it no mind.
01:14He had me change into dry clothes, then led me into the dining room.
01:17At one end of a long wooden table, several nannies fussed over a crying child.
01:22The murderous mafia boss was gone.
01:24In his seat, slumped a helpless father.
01:26Don, the candidate is here.
01:28Mr. Meretti glanced at me, barely interested.
01:32Maybe he's hungry?
01:34Don, the formula's ready.
01:35Warm to body temperature.
01:41What exactly am I paying you all for?
01:44Baby language mastery activated.
01:47My bow tie's too tight.
01:50It's hurting me.
01:57What are you doing?
01:58He doesn't let strangers touch him.
02:01I undid his bow tie.
02:02The boy stopped crying instantly.
02:04The whole room fell silent.
02:06A flash of confusion crossed Leo Meretti's face.
02:08Name?
02:10Maggie Wilson.
02:13Leo nodded at the nanny to keep feeding him, but the boy clamped his mouth shut, glaring up at her.
02:19Just one bite.
02:20Is that too much to ask?
02:22Since the new girl knows best, why doesn't she try?
02:25Veggies are bitter.
02:27Yucky.
02:30He doesn't like vegetables.
02:32Why not try something else?
02:34Everyone looked at me, confused.
02:36I scooped up some mashed potatoes.
02:49Scanning the room, I snagged an action figure off the coffee table.
02:55Then I picked up the spoon again.
02:56Don't worry.
02:57I'm not feeding you.
02:59I scooped up a spoonful and held it to the tiny hero's mouth.
03:02Open wide.
03:04A starving hero only gets skinny little arms and legs.
03:06How can you protect anyone like that?
03:09Oh, you want veggies, little hero?
03:11You're right.
03:12Veggies make you strong.
03:14Enzo swallowed hard.
03:15I want to be strong too.
03:17I feigned ignorance as he teared up in panic.
03:20Wait, little hero.
03:21Can you share some with him?
03:23He wants to grow strong too.
03:25I tapped the little hero on the head, like he'd agreed, then turned to the boy.
03:29Do you want to be strong, little guy?
03:31He nodded eagerly.
03:33Just a little.
03:34That's all.
03:35We can't have you getting stronger than him.
03:37He'd be sad.
03:38I held out a spoonful of mashed potatoes.
03:40Instead, he snatched broccoli straight from the plate, shoving it down.
03:45Why won't you give me veggies?
03:47You think I'll get stronger than the little hero?
03:50You meaner.
03:51I glanced at Leo Moretti.
03:52A genuine, approving smile touched his lips.
03:55Leo Moretti had fired every nanny.
03:58That night, I moved into the estate.
04:00Guiding me to my room, the butler gave one final warning.
04:03Never go up to the third floor.
04:05His voice dropped.
04:06Last time, a woman snuck up there to crawl into the Don's bed.
04:10He threw her out of a second floor window.
04:12Remembering the gunshot an hour earlier, I nodded quickly.
04:15I won't.
04:16I promise.
04:17I changed into the silk pajamas, laid out in the closet.
04:20Damn, I really need to lose weight.
04:23Come downstairs.
04:25We need to talk.
04:25Oh, okay.
04:28Leo lounged on the sofa in the grand living room, legs crossed, whiskey in hand.
04:32Self-conscious, I yanked my pajamas down, hiding my belly.
04:36You're great with kids.
04:37Got any of your own?
04:38No.
04:39I raised my ex's nephew for two years.
04:42His family claimed I ate too much, earned too little.
04:44They forced me to quit, fired their nanny, and dumped the kid on me.
04:48I wasn't a wife to them, just free labor.
04:52Your file says you're divorced.
04:54Yes.
04:56Why?
04:57He shamed my body and my small-town roots.
05:00Only a coward would say something like that.
05:02Enzo has always been insecure.
05:03He doesn't like going outside, and he barely talks.
05:06I work long hours, so he needs someone patient to stay.
05:10I can do that, Mr. Marati.
05:12You misunderstand me.
05:13I mean, Enzo needs a mother.
05:15I looked into his eyes.
05:17My mind went blank.
05:18I scrambled up, about to refuse.
05:21Leo leaned forward, tapping the table.
05:23If you agree, I'll give you a hundred grand a month.
05:27Instinct took over.
05:28I sat right back down.
05:30It's a contract marriage.
05:31That's all.
05:32Everything is for Enzo.
05:34Actually, why not?
05:35A boss like him wouldn't touch me anyway.
05:37Okay, I'll do it.
05:39Honestly, if you just need someone around, we don't have to make it legal.
05:43This marriage is for Enzo.
05:44He needs the stability of having a mother.
05:46Marriage is the most binding contract there is.
05:50I've been burned before, Mr. Marati.
05:52If we ever divorce, do I get to keep the money?
05:55Of course.
05:56It's yours.
05:57Then okay.
05:58And as for sex, I don't expect anything from you.
06:01You'll have the second floor to yourself.
06:03Of course.
06:05Three days after I signed my divorce papers, I got married again.
06:08No ceremony.
06:09Just like my first wedding.
06:11At dinner, Leo suddenly slid the Moretti family ring toward me.
06:17You don't have to do this.
06:20It's all for Enzo.
06:21Later, I understood.
06:22Enzo needed to feel like he had a family.
06:24I went quiet, then took the ring.
06:26I'll take good care of it.
06:27That night, the second I lay down, the door creaked open.
06:31Enzo stood in the doorway, barefoot with bedhead.
06:34He nervously tugged at the hem of his dinosaur pajamas.
06:37What's wrong, sweetie?
06:38I can't sleep.
06:39I want a bedtime story.
06:43Come here.
06:45I peeled back the blanket to make room for him.
06:47Like he'd waited forever, he scrambled right in.
06:50Halfway through the story, he was out cold on my shoulder.
06:53Next morning over breakfast, the butler told Leo that Enzo slept in my bed.
06:58Leo went still.
07:01Maggie, I'm giving you another 50 grand a month.
07:03Mr. Moretti, that's far too much.
07:05Not even close.
07:06I gave far more of myself in my last marriage.
07:10We've got the Chirpari movie.
07:13Eyesore?
07:14All you do is eat and sleep.
07:17You're really too generous, Mr. Moretti.
07:19I like Enzo.
07:21He's a good boy.
07:22Reading him a bedtime story is no trouble at all.
07:24Right on cue, Enzo waddled over, clutching my finger with his tiny warm hand.
07:29Maggie.
07:33He looked up at me with huge, dark eyes.
07:35I could tell he was touched.
07:37I'm adding another 50 grand.
07:38My final offer, no negotiating.
07:40I gave in and thanked him.
07:41Thank you, Leo.
07:42From that day on, Enzo became my little shadow.
07:45Leo was busy handling deals and gang conflicts.
07:47He didn't come home for an entire month.
07:49Most of the time, Enzo and I were the only ones in the huge estate.
07:53I did my best to keep him company.
07:54Little by little, he started opening up.
07:56You got smaller.
07:58You really did.
07:59Then came the day of my follow-up appointment at the hospital.
08:01I crouched down in front of him.
08:03Sweetheart, wait at home for me.
08:05I'll be back in an hour.
08:06The butler had warned me not to let Enzo leave the house.
08:09Don't let Enzo leave the house.
08:10Going out could trigger a panic attack.
08:12Gripping my hand tight, he refused to let go.
08:15Silent, he just stared with big, shadowed eyes.
08:18I'll be right back.
08:19I'm going to see the doctor, then I'll come straight home.
08:21You stay here and play, okay?
08:23Before I could finish, he scrambled into the back seat.
08:26The butler tried not to look too hopeful.
08:29Enzo, you're going to the hospital with Maggie?
08:32Enzo nodded.
08:36Thank God.
08:38He finally wants to go out.
08:39Your depression is getting better.
08:41Just keep taking it easy.
08:43I picked up my meds and headed out.
08:44Enzo was waiting for me in the lobby with his hero action figure.
08:49Maggie, are you sick?
08:51I didn't eat well growing up.
08:53It messed up my body.
08:56Promise me you'll eat all your meals, okay?
08:58Does it hurt?
08:59If it hurts, I can give you some candy.
09:02Daddy says candy makes the pain go away.
09:05Tears suddenly rolled down my cheeks.
09:08I have depression.
09:09Stop faking it for attention.
09:11But this four-year-old mafia heir
09:13put his last piece of candy in my hand.
09:15I'll eat every meal
09:16so I can grow big and protect you.
09:20Then grow up fast, sweetheart.
09:22When we left the hospital,
09:23a luxury car was idling at the curb.
09:25Leo was leaning against it.
09:29I was a natural with kids.
09:31Even children with XYY syndrome would soften around me.
09:34My future looked so bright.
09:35Until my in-laws forced me to quit,
09:37trapping me as a housewife.
09:39Then my husband called me a freeloader,
09:41kicking me out penniless.
09:42That night, I signed the divorce papers.
09:44I wandered the rainy streets alone
09:46with one suitcase and $36.
09:49Hitting rock bottom,
09:50I suddenly unlocked a gift of my own,
09:52baby language mastery.
09:53It's okay.
09:55It's okay.
09:56Sock.
09:57Loose thread.
09:59It hurts.
10:00Oh my god.
10:02Did that baby just speak?
10:04Please baby, don't cry.
10:06What do I do?
10:07Can I try?
10:11When the baby stopped crying,
10:13the new mom finally relaxed.

10:31home to Sterling's oldest mafia family.
10:33The butler led me down a dim hallway.

10:37then a gunshot.

14:23I wasn't a wife to them.
14:25Just free labor.
14:27Your file says you're divorced.
14:29Yes.
14:31Why?
14:31He shamed my body
14:32and my small-town roots.
14:34Only a coward would say something like that.
14:36Enzo has always been insecure.
14:38He doesn't like going outside,
14:39and he barely talks.
14:41I work long hours,
14:42so he needs someone patient to stay.

14:59I'll give you a hundred grand a month.
15:01Instinct took over.
15:03I sat right back down.
15:04It's a contract marriage.
15:06That's all.
15:07Everything is for Enzo.
15:08Actually, why not?
15:10A boss like him wouldn't touch me anyway.
15:12Okay.

16:07barefoot with bedhead.
16:08He nervously tugged at the hem of his dinosaur pajamas.
16:11What's wrong, sweetie?
16:13I can't sleep.
16:14I want a bedtime story.
16:18Come here.
16:19I peeled back the blanket to make room for him.

16:38that's far too much.
16:40Not even close.
16:41I gave far more of myself in my last marriage.
16:44We've got the church party move.
16:48Eyesore?
16:48All you do is eat and sleep.
16:51You're really too generous,
16:53Mr. Moretti.
16:54I like Enzo.
16:55He's a good boy.
16:56Reading him a bedtime story is no trouble at all.
16:59Right on cue,
17:00Enzo waddled over,
17:01clutching my finger with his tiny warm hand.
17:04Maggie.
17:07He looked up at me with huge dark eyes.
17:10I could tell he was touched.
17:11I'm adding another 50 grand.
17:13My final offer,
17:14no negotiating.
17:15I gave in and thanked him.
17:16Thank you, Leo.
17:17From that day on,

17:38Sweetheart,
17:39wait at home for me.
17:39I'll be back in an hour.
17:40The butler had warned me not to let Enzo leave the house.
17:43Don't let Enzo leave the house.
17:45Going out could trigger a panic attack.
17:47Gripping my hand tight,
17:48he refused to let go.
17:49Silent,
17:50he just stared with big,
17:51shadowed eyes.
17:52I'll be right back.
17:54I'm going to see the doctor,
17:55then I'll come straight home.
17:56You stay here and play, okay?
17:57Before I could finish,
17:59he scrambled into the back seat.
18:00The butler tried not to look too hopeful.
18:03Enzo,
18:04you're going to the hospital with Maggie?
18:06Enzo nodded.
18:11Thank God.
18:12He finally wants to go out.
18:14Your depression is getting better.
18:16Just keep taking it easy.
18:17I picked up my meds and headed out.
18:19Enzo was waiting for me in the lobby
18:21with his hero action figure.
18:24Maggie,
18:24are you sick?
18:26I didn't eat well growing up.
18:28It messed up my body.
18:31Promise me you'll eat all your meals, okay?
18:33Does it hurt?
18:34If it hurts,
18:35I can give you some candy.
18:37Daddy says candy makes the pain go away.
18:39Tears suddenly rolled down my cheeks.
18:42I have depression.
18:44Stop faking it for attention.
18:45But this four-year-old mafia heir
18:47put his last piece of candy in my hand.
18:50I'll eat every meal
18:51so I can grow big and protect you.
18:54Then grow up fast, sweetheart.
18:56When we left the hospital,
18:58a luxury car was idling at the curb.
19:00Leo was leaning against it.
19:04I was a natural with kids.
19:06Even children with XYY syndrome
19:07would soften around me.
19:09My future looked so bright
19:10until my in-laws forced me to quit,
19:12trapping me as a housewife.
19:13Then my husband called me a freeloader,
19:15kicking me out penniless.
19:17That night,
19:17I signed the divorce papers.
19:19I wandered the rainy streets alone
19:20with one suitcase
19:21and $36.
19:23Hitting rock bottom,
19:24I suddenly unlocked a gift of my own,
19:26baby language mastery.
19:28It's okay.
19:29It's okay.
19:31Sock.
19:32Loose thread.
19:33It hurts.
19:35Oh my god.
19:36Did that baby just speak?
19:39Please, baby, don't cry.
19:40What do I do?
19:42Can I try?
19:46When the baby stopped crying,
19:47the new mom finally relaxed.
19:49She noticed how down and out I looked.
19:51Do you need help?
19:52I couldn't get the words out.
19:54She shoved a flyer into my hand.
19:55Live and nanny wanted.
19:57Room and board included.
19:58That single flyer changed my life.
20:00It put me forever out of my ex's league.
20:02That very night,
20:03I followed the address
20:04straight to the Meretti estate,
20:06home to Sterling's oldest mafia family.
20:08The butler led me down a dim hallway.
20:10We passed a cracked door,
20:11then a gunshot.
20:12A man dropped to the floor.
20:14Through the gap in the door,
20:15I recognized the face I'd seen in the newspaper.
20:17The butler finally broke the silence.
20:19The Don's handling business?
20:21Pay it no mind.
20:23He had me change into dry clothes.
20:25Then led me into the dining room.
20:27At one end of a long wooden table,
20:29several nannies fussed over a crying child.
20:31The murderous mafia boss was gone.
20:33In his seat,
20:34slumped a helpless father.
20:36Don, the candidate is here.
20:37Mr. Meretti glanced at me,
20:39barely interested.
20:41Maybe he's hungry?
20:43Don, the formula's ready.
20:45Warm to body temperature.
20:50What exactly am I paying you all for?
20:56My bow tie's too tight.
20:59It's hurting me.
21:06What are you doing?
21:08He doesn't let strangers touch him.
21:10I undid his bow tie.
21:12The boy stopped crying instantly.
21:14The whole room fell silent.
21:15A flash of confusion crossed Leo Meretti's face.
21:18Name?
21:20Maggie Wilson.
21:22Leo nodded at the nanny to keep feeding him,
21:24but the boy clamped his mouth shut,
21:26glaring up at her.
21:28Just one bite.
21:30Is that too much to ask?
21:31Since the new girl knows best,
21:33why doesn't she try?
21:35Veggies are bitter.
21:36Yucky.
21:40He doesn't like vegetables.
21:41Why not try something else?
21:43Everyone looked at me,
21:44confused.
21:45I scooped up some mashed potatoes.
21:59Scanning the room,
22:00I snagged an action figure
22:01off the coffee table.
22:04Then I picked up the spoon again.
22:06Don't worry.
22:06I'm not feeding you.
22:08I scooped up a spoonful
22:09and held it to the tiny hero's mouth.
22:12Open wide.
22:13A starving hero
22:14only gets skinny little arms and legs.
22:16How can you protect anyone like that?
22:18Oh, you want veggies, little hero?
22:20You're right.
22:22Veggies make you strong.
22:23Enzo swallowed hard.
22:24I want to be strong too.
22:26I feigned ignorance
22:27as he teared up in panic.
22:29Wait, little hero.
22:30Can you share some with him?
22:32He wants to grow strong too.
22:34I tapped the little hero on the head,
22:36like he'd agreed,
22:37then turned to the boy.
22:39Do you want to be strong, little guy?
22:40He nodded eagerly.
22:42Just a little.
22:43That's all.
22:44We can't have you getting stronger than him.
22:46He'd be sad.
22:47I held out a spoonful of mashed potatoes.
22:50Instead,
22:51he snatched broccoli straight from the plate,
22:53shoving it down.
22:54Why won't you give me veggies?
22:56You think I'll get stronger than the little hero?
22:59You meaner.
23:00I glanced at Leo Moretti.
23:02A genuine, approving smile touched his lips.
23:05Leo Moretti had fired every nanny.
23:07That night,
23:08I moved into the estate.
23:09Guiding me to my room,
23:11the butler gave one final warning.
23:12Never go up to the third floor.
23:14His voice dropped.
23:15Last time,
23:16a woman snuck up there to crawl into the Don's bed.
23:19He threw her out of a second floor window.
23:21Remembering the gunshot an hour earlier,
23:23I nodded quickly.
23:24I won't.
23:25I promise.
23:26I changed into the silk pajamas,
23:28laid out in the closet.
23:30Damn,
23:30I really need to lose weight.
23:33Come downstairs.
23:34We need to talk.
23:35Oh.
23:36Okay.
23:36Leo lounged on the sofa in the grand living room,
23:39legs crossed,
23:40whiskey in hand.
23:41Self-conscious,
23:42I yanked my pajamas down,
23:44hiding my belly.
23:45You're great with kids.
23:46Got any of your own?
23:48No.
23:49I raised my ex's nephew for two years.
23:51His family claimed I ate too much,
23:53earned too little.
23:54They forced me to quit,
23:55fired their nanny,
23:56and dumped the kid on me.
23:58I wasn't a wife to them.
24:00Just free labor.
24:01Your file says you're divorced.
24:04Yes.
24:05Why?
24:06He shamed my body
24:07and my small town roots.
24:09Only a coward would say something like that.
24:11Enzo has always been insecure.
24:13He doesn't like going outside,
24:14and he barely talks.
24:16I work long hours,
24:17so he needs someone patient to stay.
24:19I can do that, Mr. Marati.
24:21You misunderstand me.
24:23I mean,
24:24Enzo needs a mother.
24:25I looked into his eyes.
24:26My mind went blank.
24:27I scrambled up,
24:29about to refuse.
24:29Leo leaned forward,
24:31tapping the table.
24:32If you agree,
24:34I'll give you a hundred grand a month.
24:36Instinct took over.
24:37I sat right back down.
24:39It's a contract marriage.
24:41That's all.
24:42Everything is for Enzo.
24:43Actually, why not?
24:44A boss like him wouldn't touch me anyway.
24:47Okay.
24:47I'll do it.
24:49Honestly,
24:49if you just need someone around,
24:51we don't have to make it legal.
24:52This marriage is for Enzo.
24:53He needs the stability of having a mother.
24:56Marriage is the most binding contract there is.
24:59I've been burned before,
25:00Mr. Marati.
25:01If we ever divorce,
25:03do I get to keep the money?
25:04Of course.
25:05It's yours.
25:06Then okay.
25:07And as for sex,
25:09I don't expect anything from you.
25:10You'll have the second floor to yourself.
25:12Of course.
25:14Three days after I signed my divorce papers,
25:16I got married again.
25:17No ceremony.
25:18Just like my first wedding.
25:20At dinner,
25:21Leo suddenly slid the Marati family ring toward me.
25:27You don't have to do this.
25:29It's all for Enzo.
25:30Later,
25:30I understood.
25:31Enzo needed to feel like he had a family.
25:33I went quiet,
25:34then took the ring.
25:35I'll take good care of it.
25:37That night,
25:37the second I lay down,
25:39the door creaked open.
25:40Enzo stood in the doorway,
25:42barefoot with bedhead.
25:43He nervously tugged at the hem of his dinosaur pajamas.
25:46What's wrong, sweetie?
25:47I can't sleep.
25:49I want a bedtime story.
25:53Come here.
25:54I peeled back the blanket to make room for him.
25:57Like he'd waited forever,
25:58he scrambled right in.
26:00Halfway through the story,
26:01he was out cold on my shoulder.
26:03Next morning over breakfast,
26:04the butler told Leo that Enzo slept in my bed.
26:07Leo went still.
26:10Maggie,
26:10I'm giving you another 50 grand a month.
26:12Mr. Moretti,
26:13that's far too much.
26:14Not even close.
26:16I gave far more of myself in my last marriage.
26:19We've got the Cherspari movie.
26:22Eyesore?
26:23All you do is eat and sleep?
26:26You're really too generous, Mr. Moretti.
26:29I like Enzo.
26:30He's a good boy.
26:31Reading him a bedtime story is no trouble at all.
26:33Right on cue,
26:34Enzo waddled over,
26:35clutching my finger with his tiny warm hand.
26:38Maggie.
26:42He looked up at me with huge, dark eyes.
26:45I could tell he was touched.
26:46I'm adding another 50 grand.
26:47And my final offer,
26:49no negotiating.
26:50I gave in and thanked him.
26:51Thank you, Leo.
26:52From that day on,
26:52Enzo became my little shadow.
26:54Leo was busy handling deals and gang conflicts.
26:57He didn't come home for an entire month.
26:59Most of the time,
27:00Enzo and I were the only ones in the huge estate.
27:02I did my best to keep him company.
27:04Little by little,
27:04he started opening up.
27:06You got smaller.
27:07You really did.
27:08Then came the day of my follow-up appointment at the hospital.
27:11I crouched down in front of him.
27:13Sweetheart,
27:13wait at home for me.
27:14I'll be back in an hour.
27:15The butler had warned me not to let Enzo leave the house.
27:18Don't let Enzo leave the house.
27:20Going out could trigger a panic attack.
27:22Gripping my hand tight,
27:23he refused to let go.
27:24Silent,
27:25he just stared with big, shadowed eyes.
27:27I'll be right back.
27:28I'm going to see the doctor,
27:30then I'll come straight home.
27:31You stay here and play, okay?
27:32Before I could finish,
27:33he scrambled into the back seat.
27:35The butler tried not to look too hopeful.
27:38Enzo,
27:39you're going to the hospital with Maggie?
27:41Enzo nodded.
27:46Thank God.
27:47He finally wants to go out.
27:49Your depression is getting better.
27:51Just keep taking it easy.
27:52I picked up my meds and headed out.
27:54Enzo was waiting for me in the lobby with his hero action figure.
27:58Maggie,
27:59are you sick?
28:01I didn't eat well growing up.
28:03It messed up my body.
28:05Promise me you'll eat all your meals, okay?
28:08Does it hurt?
28:09If it hurts,
28:10I can give you some candy.
28:11Daddy says candy makes the pain go away.
28:14Tears suddenly rolled down my cheeks.
28:17I have depression.
28:18Stop faking it for attention.
28:20But this four-year-old mafia heir
28:22put his last piece of candy in my hand.
28:24I'll eat every meal
28:26so I can grow big and protect you.
28:29Then grow up fast, sweetheart.
28:31When we left the hospital,
28:32a luxury car was idling at the curb.
28:34Leo was leaning against it.
28:39I was a natural with kids.

28:59I suddenly unlocked a gift of my own,
29:01baby language mastery.
29:02It's okay.
29:04It's okay.
29:06Sock.
29:07Loose thread.
29:08It hurts.
29:10Oh my god.
29:11Did that baby just speak?
29:14Please, baby, don't cry.
29:15What do I do?
29:16Can I try?
29:20When the baby stopped crying,
29:22the new mom finally relaxed.
29:24She noticed how down and out I looked.
29:26Do you need help?
29:27I couldn't get the words out.
29:28She shoved a flyer into my hand.
29:30Live and nanny wanted.
29:31Room and board included.
29:33That single flyer changed my life.
29:35It put me forever out of my ex's league.
29:37That very night,
29:38I followed the address
29:39straight to the Meretti estate,
29:40home to Sterling's oldest mafia family.
29:42The butler led me down a dim hallway.
29:44We passed a cracked door,
29:46then a gunshot.

30:10Don, the candidate is here.
30:12Mr. Meretti glanced at me,
30:14barely interested.
30:16Maybe he's hungry?
30:18Don, the formula's ready.
30:19Warm to body temperature.
30:25What exactly am I paying you all for?
30:31My bow tie's too tight.
30:34It's hurting me.
30:41What are you doing?
30:42He doesn't let strangers touch him.
30:45I undid his bow tie.
30:46The boy stopped crying instantly.
30:48The whole room fell silent.
30:50A flash of confusion crossed Leo Meretti's face.
30:52Name?
30:54Maggie Wilson.
30:57Leo nodded at the nanny to keep feeding him,
30:59but the boy clamped his mouth shut,
31:01glaring up at her.
31:03Just one bite.
31:04Is that too much to ask?
31:06Since the new girl knows best,
31:08why doesn't she try?
31:09Veggies are bitter.
31:11Yucky.
31:14He doesn't like vegetables.
31:16Why not try something else?
31:18Everyone looked at me,
31:19confused.
31:20I scooped up some mashed potatoes.
31:34Scanning the room,
31:35I snagged an action figure
31:36off the coffee table.
31:39Then I picked up the spoon again.
31:40Don't worry.
31:41I'm not feeding you.
31:42I scooped up a spoonful
31:44and held it to the tiny hero's mouth.
31:47Open wide.
31:48A starving hero only gets skinny little arms and legs.
31:51How can you protect anyone like that?
31:53Oh, you want veggies, little hero?

34:15That's all.
34:16Everything is for Enzo.
34:18Actually, why not?
34:19A boss like him wouldn't touch me anyway.
34:21Okay.
34:22I'll do it.
34:23Honestly,
34:24if you just need someone around,
34:25we don't have to make it legal.
34:27This marriage is for Enzo.
34:28He needs the stability of having a mother.
34:30Marriage is the most binding contract there is.
34:34I've been burned before,
34:35Mr. Marati.
34:36If we ever divorce,
34:38do I get to keep the money?
34:39Of course.
34:40It's yours.
34:41Then okay.
34:42And as for sex,
34:43I don't expect anything from you.
34:45You'll have the second floor to yourself.
34:47Of course.
34:48Three days after I signed my divorce papers,
34:51I got married again.
34:52No ceremony.
34:53Just like my first wedding.
34:54At dinner,
34:56Leo suddenly slid the Marati family ring toward me.
35:02You don't have to do this.
35:04It's all for Enzo.
35:05Later,
35:05I understood.
35:06Enzo needed to feel like he had a family.
35:08I went quiet,
35:09then took the ring.
35:10I'll take good care of it.
35:11That night,
35:12the second I lay down,
35:13the door creaked open.
35:15Enzo stood in the doorway,
35:16barefoot with bedhead.
35:18He nervously tugged at the hem of his dinosaur pajamas.
35:21What's wrong, sweetie?
35:22I can't sleep.
35:23I want a bedtime story.
35:28Come here.
35:29I peeled back the blanket to make room for him.
35:31Like he'd waited forever,
35:33he scrambled right in.
35:34Halfway through the story,
35:36he was out cold on my shoulder.
35:37Next morning over breakfast,
35:39the butler told Leo that Enzo slept in my bed.
35:42Leo went still.
35:45Maggie,
35:45I'm giving you another 50 grand a month.
35:47Mr. Moretti,
35:48that's far too much.
35:49Not even close.
35:50I gave far more of myself in my last marriage.
35:54We've got the church party movie.
35:57Eyesore?
35:58All you do is eat and sleep.
36:01You're really too generous, Mr. Moretti.
36:03I like Enzo.
36:05He's a good boy.
36:06Reading him a bedtime story is no trouble at all.
36:08Right on cue,
36:09Enzo waddled over,
36:10clutching my finger with his tiny warm hand.
36:13Maggie.
36:17He looked up at me with huge dark eyes.
36:19I could tell he was touched.
36:21I'm adding another 50 grand.
36:22My final offer,
36:23no negotiating.
36:24I gave in and thanked him.
36:25Thank you, Leo.
36:26From that day on,
36:27Enzo became my little shadow.
36:29Leo was busy handling deals and gang conflicts.
36:31He didn't come home for an entire month.
36:33Most of the time,
36:34Enzo and I were the only ones in the huge estate.
36:37I did my best to keep him company.
36:38Little by little,
36:39he started opening up.
36:40You got smaller.
36:42You really did.
36:43Then came the day of my follow-up appointment at the hospital.
36:46I crouched down in front of him.
36:47Sweetheart,
36:48wait at home for me.
36:49I'll be back in an hour.
36:50The butler had warned me not to let Enzo leave the house.
36:53Don't let Enzo leave the house.
36:54Going out could trigger a panic attack.
36:56Gripping my hand tight,
36:57he refused to let go.
36:59Silent,
36:59he just stared with big,
37:00shadowed eyes.
37:02I'll be right back.
37:03I'm going to see the doctor,
37:04then I'll come straight home.
37:05You stay here and play, okay?
37:07Before I could finish,
37:08he scrambled into the back seat.
37:10The butler tried not to look too hopeful.
37:13Enzo,
37:14you're going to the hospital with Maggie?
37:16Enzo nodded.
37:20Thank God.
37:22He finally wants to go out.
37:23Your depression is getting better.
37:25Just keep taking it easy.
37:27I picked up my meds and headed out.
37:28Enzo was waiting for me in the lobby
37:30with his hero action figure.
37:33Maggie,
37:34are you sick?
37:35I didn't eat well growing up.
37:37It messed up my body.
37:40Promise me you'll eat all your meals, okay?
37:42Does it hurt?
37:43If it hurts,
37:44I can give you some candy.
37:46Daddy says candy makes the pain go away.
37:49Tears suddenly rolled down my cheeks.
37:52I have depression.
37:53Stop faking it for attention.
37:54But this four-year-old mafia heir
37:57put his last piece of candy in my hand.
37:59I'll eat every meal
38:00so I can grow big and protect you.
38:04Then grow up fast, sweetheart.
38:06When we left the hospital,
38:07a luxury car was idling at the curb.
38:09Leo was leaning against it.
38:13I was a natural with kids.
38:15Even children with XYY syndrome
38:17would soften around me.
38:18My future looked so bright
38:19until my in-laws forced me to quit,
38:21trapping me as a housewife.
38:23Then my husband called me a freeloader,
38:25kicking me out penniless.
38:26That night,
38:27I signed the divorce papers.
38:28I wandered the rainy streets alone
38:30with one suitcase and $36.
38:33Hitting rock bottom,
38:34I suddenly unlocked a gift of my own,
38:36baby language mastery.
38:37It's okay.
38:39It's okay.
38:40Sock, loose thread.
38:43It hurts.
38:45Oh my God.
38:46Did that baby just speak?
38:48Please, baby, don't cry.
38:50What do I do?
38:51Can I try?
38:55When the baby stopped crying,
38:57the new mom finally relaxed.
38:58She noticed how down and out I looked.
39:00Do you need help?
39:01I couldn't get the words out.
39:03She shoved a flyer into my hand.
39:05Live and nanny wanted,
39:06room and board included.
39:07That single flyer changed my life.
39:09It put me forever out of my ex's league.
39:11That very night,
39:12I followed the address straight to the Moretti estate,
39:15home to Sterling's oldest mafia family.
39:17The butler led me down a dim hallway.
39:19We passed a cracked door,
39:21then a gunshot.
39:21A man dropped to the floor.
39:23Through the gap in the door,
39:24I recognized the face I'd seen in the newspaper.
39:26The butler finally broke the silence.
39:29The Don's handling business?
39:30Pay it no mind.
39:32He had me change into dry clothes,
39:34then led me into the dining room.
39:36At one end of a long wooden table,
39:38several nannies fussed over a crying child.
39:40The murderous mafia boss was gone.
39:42In his seat, slumped a helpless father.
39:45Don, the candidate is here.
39:47Mr. Moretti glanced at me,
39:48barely interested.
39:51Maybe he's hungry?
39:52Don, the formula's ready.
39:54Warm to body temperature.
39:59What exactly am I paying you all for?
40:03Baby language mastery activated.
40:06My bow tie's too tight.
40:08It's hurting me.
40:16What are you doing?
40:17He doesn't let strangers touch him.
40:19I undid his bow tie.
40:21The boy stopped crying instantly.
40:23The whole room fell silent.
40:24A flash of confusion crossed Leo Moretti's face.
40:27Name?
40:29Maggie Wilson.
40:31Leo nodded at the nanny to keep feeding him,
40:34but the boy clamped his mouth shut,
40:35glaring up at her.
40:38Just one bite.
40:39Is that too much to ask?
40:41Since the new girl knows best,
40:43why doesn't she try?
40:44Veggies are bitter.
40:45Yucky.
40:49He doesn't like vegetables.
40:51Why not try something else?
40:52Everyone looked at me,
40:53confused.
40:54I scooped up some mashed potatoes.
41:08Scanning the room,
41:09I snagged an action figure off the coffee table.
41:13Then I picked up the spoon again.
41:15Don't worry.
41:16I'm not feeding you.
41:17I scooped up a spoonful
41:19and held it to the tiny hero's mouth.
41:21Open wide.
41:22A starving hero only gets skinny little arms and legs.
41:25How can you protect anyone like that?
41:27Oh, you want veggies, little hero?
41:30You're right.
41:31Veggies make you strong.
41:32Enzo swallowed hard.
41:34I want to be strong too.
41:35I feigned ignorance as he teared up in panic.
41:38Wait, little hero.
41:39Can you share some with him?
41:41He wants to grow strong too.
41:43I tapped the little hero on the head,
41:45like he'd agreed,
41:46then turned to the boy.
41:48Do you want to be strong, little guy?
41:50He nodded eagerly.
41:52Just a little.
41:53That's all.
41:54We can't have you getting stronger than him.
41:56He'd be sad.
41:57I held out a spoonful of mashed potatoes.
41:59Instead,
42:00he snatched broccoli straight from the plate,
42:02shoving it down.
42:03Why won't you give me veggies?
42:05You think I'll get stronger than the little hero?
42:08You meaner.
42:10I glanced at Leo Moretti.
42:11A genuine, approving smile touched his lips.
42:14Leo Moretti had fired every nanny.
42:16That night,
42:17I moved into the estate.
42:19Guiding me to my room,
42:20the butler gave one final warning.
42:22Never go up to the third floor.
42:23His voice dropped.
42:25Last time,
42:25a woman snuck up there to crawl into the Don's bed.
42:28He threw her out of a second floor window.
42:30Remembering the gunshot an hour earlier,
42:32I nodded quickly.
42:33I won't.
42:34I promise.
42:36I changed into the silk pajamas,
42:37laid out in the closet.
42:39Damn,
42:40I really need to lose weight.
42:42Come downstairs.
42:43We need to talk.
42:44Oh.
42:45Okay.
42:46Leo lounged on the sofa in the grand living room,
42:49legs crossed,
42:50whiskey in hand.
42:51Self-conscious,
42:51I yanked my pajamas down,
42:53hiding my belly.
42:54You're great with kids.
42:56Got any of your own?
42:57No.
42:58I raised my ex's nephew for two years.
43:00His family claimed I ate too much,
43:02earned too little.
43:03They forced me to quit,
43:05fired their nanny,
43:06and dumped the kid on me.
43:07I wasn't a wife to them.
43:09Just free labor.
43:11Your file says you're divorced.
43:13Yes.
43:15Why?
43:15He shamed my body
43:16and my small town roots.
43:18Only a coward would say something like that.
43:20Enzo has always been insecure.
43:22He doesn't like going outside
43:23and he barely talks.
43:25I work long hours,
43:26so he needs someone patient to stay.
43:28I can do that,
43:29Mr. Marati.
43:31You misunderstand me.
43:32I mean,
43:33Enzo needs a mother.
43:34I looked into his eyes.
43:36My mind went blank.
43:37I scrambled up,
43:38about to refuse.
43:39Leo leaned forward,
43:41tapping the table.
43:42If you agree,
43:43I'll give you a hundred grand a month.
43:45Instinct took over.
43:47I sat right back down.
43:48It's a contract marriage.
43:50That's all.
43:51Everything is for Enzo.
43:52Actually,
43:53why not?
43:54A boss like him
43:55wouldn't touch me anyway.
43:56Okay,
43:57I'll do it.
43:58Honestly,
43:59if you just need someone around,
44:00we don't have to make it legal.
44:01This marriage is for Enzo.
44:03He needs the stability
44:04of having a mother.
44:05Marriage is the most
44:06binding contract there is.
44:08I've been burned before,
44:10Mr. Marati.
44:11If we ever divorce,
44:12do I get to keep the money?
44:14Of course.
44:15It's yours.
44:16Then okay.
44:17And as for sex,
44:18I don't expect anything from you.
44:19you'll have the second floor
44:21to yourself.
44:22Of course.
44:23Three days after I signed
44:24my divorce papers,
44:25I got married again.
44:27No ceremony.
44:28Just like my first wedding.
44:29At dinner,
44:30Leo suddenly slid
44:31the Moretti family ring
44:32toward me.
44:36You don't have to do this.
44:38It's all for Enzo.
44:39Later,
44:40I understood.
44:41Enzo needed to feel
44:42like he had a family.
44:43I went quiet,
44:44then took the ring.
44:45I'll take good care of it.
44:46That night,
44:47the second I lay down,
44:48the door creaked open.
44:49Enzo stood in the doorway,
44:51barefoot with bedhead.
44:52He nervously tugged
44:53at the hem
44:54of his dinosaur pajamas.
44:55What's wrong, sweetie?
44:57I can't sleep.
44:58I want a bedtime story.
45:02Come here.
45:03I peeled back the blanket
45:05to make room for him.
45:06Like he'd waited forever,
45:08he scrambled right in.
45:09Halfway through the story,
45:10he was out cold
45:11on my shoulder.
45:12Next morning,
45:13over breakfast,
45:13the butler told Leo
45:15that Enzo slept in my bed.
45:17Leo went still.
45:19Maggie,
45:20I'm giving you
45:20another 50 grand a month.
45:21Mr. Moretti,
45:22that's far too much.
45:24Not even close.
45:25I gave far more of myself
45:27in my last marriage.
45:28We've got the
45:29church party movie.
45:32Eyesore?
45:32All you do is eat and sleep?
45:35You're really too generous,
45:37Mr. Moretti.
45:38I like Enzo.
45:39He's a good boy.
45:40Reading him a bedtime story
45:42is no trouble at all.
45:43Right on cue,
45:44Enzo waddled over,
45:45clutching my finger
45:46with his tiny warm hand.
45:48Maggie.
45:51He looked up at me
45:52with huge dark eyes.
45:54I could tell he was touched.
45:55I'm adding another 50 grand.
45:57My final offer,
45:58no negotiating.
45:59I gave in and thanked him.
46:00Thank you, Leo.
46:01From that day on,
46:02Enzo became my little shadow.
46:03Leo was busy handling deals
46:05and gang conflicts.
46:06He didn't come home
46:07for an entire month.
46:08Most of the time,
46:09Enzo and I were the only ones
46:10in the huge estate.
46:11I did my best
46:12to keep him company.
46:13Little by little,
46:14he started opening up.
46:15You got smaller!
46:16You really did!
46:18Then came the day
46:18of my follow-up appointment
46:19at the hospital.
46:20I crouched down
46:21in front of him.
46:22Sweetheart,
46:23wait at home for me.
46:23I'll be back in an hour.
46:25The butler had warned me
46:26not to let Enzo
46:26leave the house.
46:27Don't let Enzo leave the house.
46:29Going out
46:30could trigger a panic attack.
46:31Gripping my hand tight,
46:32he refused to let go.
46:33Silent,
46:34he just stared
46:35with big,
46:35shadowed eyes.
46:36I'll be right back.
46:38I'm going to see the doctor,
46:39then I'll come straight home.
46:40You stay here
46:41and play, okay?
46:41Before I could finish,
46:43he scrambled
46:43into the back seat.
46:44The butler tried
46:45not to look too hopeful.
46:47Enzo,
46:48you're going to the hospital
46:49with Maggie?
46:50Enzo nodded.
46:55Thank God.
46:56He finally wants to go out.
46:58Your depression
46:59is getting better.
47:00Just keep taking it easy.
47:01I picked up my meds
47:02and headed out.
47:03Enzo was waiting for me
47:04in the lobby
47:05with his hero action figure.
47:08Maggie,
47:08are you sick?
47:10I didn't eat well
47:11growing up.
47:12It messed up my body.
47:14Promise me
47:15you'll eat all your meals,
47:16okay?
47:17Does it hurt?
47:18If it hurts,
47:19I can give you some candy.
47:21Daddy says candy
47:22makes the pain go away.
47:23Tears suddenly
47:24rolled down my cheeks.
47:26I have depression.
47:28Stop faking it
47:29for attention.
47:29But this four-year-old
47:31mafia air
47:31put his last piece
47:32of candy in my hand.
47:33I'll eat every meal
47:35so I can grow big
47:36and protect you.
47:38Then grow up fast,
47:40sweetheart.
47:40When we left the hospital,
47:42a luxury car
47:42was idling at the curb.

48:13It's okay.
48:15Sock.
48:16Loose thread.
48:17It hurts.
48:19Oh my god.
48:20Did that baby just speak?
48:23Please baby,
48:24don't cry.
48:24What do I do?
48:26Can I try?
48:30When the baby stopped crying,

48:46That very night,
48:47I followed the address
48:48straight to the Meretti estate,
48:50home to Sterling's
48:50oldest mafia family.
48:51The butler led me down
48:53a dim hallway.
48:54We passed a cracked door,

49:21Mr. Meretti glanced at me,
49:23barely interested.
49:25Maybe he's hungry?
49:27Don,
49:28the formula's ready.
49:29Warm to body temperature.
49:34What exactly am I paying you all for?
49:40My bow tie's too tight.
49:43It's hurting me.
49:54I undid his bow tie.
49:56The boy stopped crying instantly.
49:57The whole room fell silent.
49:59A flash of confusion crossed Leo Moretti's face.
50:02Name?
50:04Maggie Wilson.
50:06Leo nodded at the nanny to keep feeding him,
50:08but the boy clamped his mouth shut,
50:10glaring up at her.
50:12Just one bite.
50:14Is that too much to ask?
50:15Since the new girl knows best,
50:17why doesn't she try?
50:19Veggies are bitter.
50:20Yucky.
50:24He doesn't like vegetables.
50:25Why not try something else?
50:27Everyone looked at me,
50:28confused.
50:29I scooped up some mashed potatoes.
50:43Scanning the room,
50:44I snagged an action figure
50:45off the coffee table.
50:48Then I picked up the spoon again.
50:50Don't worry.
50:50I'm not feeding you.
50:52I scooped up a spoonful
50:53and held it to the tiny hero's mouth.
50:56Open wide.
50:57A starving hero
50:58only gets skinny little arms and legs.
51:00How can you protect anyone like that?
51:02Oh, you want veggies, little hero?
51:04You're right.
51:06Veggies make you strong.
51:07Enzo swallowed hard.
51:08I want to be strong too.
51:10I feigned ignorance
51:11as he teared up in panic.
51:13Wait, little hero.
51:14Can you share some with him?
51:16He wants to grow strong too.
51:18I tapped the little hero on the head,
51:20like he'd agreed,
51:21then turned to the boy.
51:23Do you want to be strong, little guy?
51:24He nodded eagerly.
51:26Just a little.
51:27That's all.
51:28We can't have you getting stronger than him.
51:30He'd be sad.
51:31I held out a spoonful of mashed potatoes.
51:34Instead, he snatched broccoli
51:35straight from the plate,
51:37shoving it down.
51:38Why won't you give me veggies?
51:40You think I'll get stronger
51:42than the little hero?
51:43You meaner.
51:44I glanced at Leo Moretti.
51:46A genuine, approving smile
51:47touched his lips.
51:49Leo Moretti had fired every nanny.
51:51That night, I moved into the estate.
51:53Guiding me to my room,
51:55the butler gave one final warning.
51:56Never go up to the third floor.
51:58His voice dropped.
51:59Last time,
52:00a woman snuck up there
52:01to crawl into the Don's bed.
52:03He threw her out of a second floor window.
52:05Remembering the gunshot an hour earlier,
52:07I nodded quickly.
52:08I won't.
52:09I promise.
52:10I changed into the silk pajamas,
52:12laid out in the closet.
52:14Damn, I really need to lose weight.
52:17Come downstairs.
52:18We need to talk.
52:19Oh.
52:20Okay.
52:21Leo lounged on the sofa
52:22in the grand living room,
52:23legs crossed,
52:24whiskey in hand,
52:25self-conscious.
52:26I yanked my pajamas down,
52:28hiding my belly.
52:29You're great with kids.
52:30Got any of your own?
52:32No.
52:33I raised my ex's nephew for two years.
52:35His family claimed I ate too much,
52:37earned too little.
52:38They forced me to quit,
52:39fired their nanny,
52:41and dumped the kid on me.
52:42I wasn't a wife to them.
52:44Just free labor.
52:45Your file says you're divorced.
52:48Yes.
52:49Why?
52:50He shamed my body
52:51and my small-town roots.
52:53Only a coward would say something like that.
52:55Enzo has always been insecure.
52:57He doesn't like going outside,
52:58and he barely talks.
53:00I work long hours,
53:01so he needs someone patient to stay.
53:03I can do that, Mr. Marati.
53:05You misunderstand me.
53:07I mean,
53:08Enzo needs a mother.
53:09I looked into his eyes.
53:10My mind went blank.
53:11I scrambled up,
53:13about to refuse.
53:14Leo leaned forward,
53:15tapping the table.
53:16If you agree,
53:18I'll give you a hundred grand a month.
53:20Instinct took over.
53:21I sat right back down.
53:23It's a contract marriage.
53:25That's all.
53:26Everything is for Enzo.
53:27Actually, why not?
53:28A boss like him wouldn't touch me anyway.
53:31Okay, I'll do it.
53:33Honestly,
53:33if you just need someone around,
53:35we don't have to make it legal.
53:36This marriage is for Enzo.
53:37He needs the stability of having a mother.
53:40Marriage is the most binding contract there is.
53:43I've been burned before, Mr. Moretti.
53:45If we ever divorce,
53:47do I get to keep the money?
53:48Of course.
53:49It's yours.
53:50Then okay.
53:51And as for sex,
53:53I don't expect anything from you.
53:54You'll have the second floor to yourself.
53:56Of course.
53:58Three days after I signed my divorce papers,
54:00I got married again.
54:01No ceremony.
54:02Just like my first wedding.
54:04At dinner,
54:05Leo suddenly slid the Moretti family ring toward me.
54:11You don't have to do this.
54:13It's all for Enzo.
54:14Later,
54:14I understood.
54:15Enzo needed to feel like he had a family.
54:17I went quiet,
54:19then took the ring.
54:19I'll take good care of it.
54:21That night,
54:21the second I lay down,
54:23the door creaked open.
54:24Enzo stood in the doorway,
54:26barefoot with bedhead.
54:27He nervously tugged at the hem of his dinosaur pajamas.
54:30What's wrong, sweetie?
54:31I can't sleep.
54:33I want a bedtime story.
54:37Come here.
54:38I peeled back the blanket to make room for him.
54:41Like he'd waited forever,
54:42he scrambled right in.
54:44Halfway through the story,
54:45he was out cold on my shoulder.
54:47Next morning over breakfast,
54:48the butler told Leo that Enzo slept in my bed.
54:51Leo went still.
54:54Maggie,
54:54I'm giving you another 50 grand a month.
54:56Mr. Moretti,
54:57that's far too much.
54:58Not even close.
55:00I gave far more of myself in my last marriage.
55:03We've got the church party move.
55:06Eyesore?
55:07All you do is eat and sleep.
55:10You're really too generous,
55:12Mr. Moretti.
55:13I like Enzo.
55:14He's a good boy.
55:15Reading him a bedtime story is no trouble at all.
55:17Right on cue,
55:18Enzo waddled over,
55:19clutching my finger with his tiny warm hand.
55:23Maggie.
55:26He looked up at me with huge dark eyes.
55:29I could tell he was touched.
55:30I'm adding another 50 grand.
55:32My final offer,
55:33no negotiating.
55:33I gave in and thanked him.
55:35Thank you, Leo.
55:35From that day on,
55:36Enzo became my little shadow.
55:38Leo was busy handling deals and gang conflicts.
55:41He didn't come home for an entire month.
55:43Most of the time,
55:44Enzo and I were the only ones in the huge estate.
55:46I did my best to keep him company.
55:48Little by little,
55:48he started opening up.
55:50You got smaller.
55:51You really did.
55:52Then came the day of my follow-up appointment at the hospital.
55:55I crouched down in front of him.
55:57Sweetheart,
55:57wait at home for me.
55:58I'll be back in an hour.
55:59The butler had warned me not to let Enzo leave the house.
56:02Don't let Enzo leave the house.
56:04Going out could trigger a panic attack.
56:06Gripping my hand tight,
56:07he refused to let go.
56:08Silent,
56:09he just stared with big,
56:10shadowed eyes.
56:11I'll be right back.
56:12I'm going to see the doctor,
56:14then I'll come straight home.
56:15You stay here and play,
56:16okay?
56:16Before I could finish,
56:17he scrambled into the back seat.
56:19The butler tried not to look too hopeful.
56:22Enzo,
56:23you're going to the hospital with Maggie?
56:25Enzo nodded.
56:30Thank God.
56:31He finally wants to go out.
56:33Your depression is getting better.
56:35Just keep taking it easy.
56:36I picked up my meds and headed out.
56:38Enzo was waiting for me in the lobby
56:39with his hero action figure.
56:42Maggie,
56:43are you sick?
56:45I didn't eat well growing up.
56:47It messed up my body.
56:49Promise me you'll eat all your meals,
56:51okay?
56:52Does it hurt?
56:53If it hurts,
56:54I can give you some candy.
56:56Daddy says candy makes the pain go away.
56:58Tears suddenly rolled down my cheeks.
57:01I have depression.
57:03Stop faking it for attention.
57:04But this four-year-old mafia heir
57:06put his last piece of candy in my hand.
57:08I'll eat every meal
57:10so I can grow big
57:11and protect you.
57:13Then grow up fast, sweetheart.
57:15When we left the hospital,
57:16a luxury car was idling at the curb.
57:18Leo was leaning against it.
57:20And then go ahead and maintain it.
57:20Relax.
57:20Then be sure to do it.
57:21That was concave.
57:21And that's what I told you.
57:22I saw the vaccin apoyo.
57:22I'm a ligger with noihine.
57:22I saidocratic merciless.
57:22I saw them on the side-by-all,
57:22I got aस can I speak on my friend.
57:23I'm a pitcher I'm a dancer.
