00:51how long is that supposed to take i don't know 10 years 20 i'll pay it back over time
00:57do you really have to keep the money between us this separate
01:02money needs to be clear feelings don't
01:09seven years ago i thought loving someone meant choosing the best path for them so i never asked
01:13you i just pushed you out of my life all these years i told myself i was protecting you looking
01:17back i was unbelievably arrogant
01:24at least you know that now
01:29could you at least try to comfort me no you owe me seven years
01:37i was feeling moved a second ago you can keep feeling that way
01:52dario if i could do seven years ago over again i wouldn't say i got tired of you
01:56i'd tell you my family went bankrupt that i was scared that i might lose everything
01:59then i'd ask if you still wanted to stay
02:05my answer would have been yes
02:07i know and this time i don't want to decide for you so i'm asking
02:10dario vastelli the boyfriend i dumped seven years ago do you still want us to get back together no
02:20what being your boyfriend again is way too easy on you
02:28dario are you messing with me let go no
02:30then what do you want we'll take our time figuring that out can i
02:50do you want to know what's going to happen
02:51who is it family
02:56dario the family council knows leona bennett is back in new york
02:59her father was involved in a major financial investigation and the bennett family has nothing
03:03left that matches the bastoni name she is not suitable to stand beside you you can have your
03:08fun with her but she cannot be the future lady of the bastoni family are you done this is the
03:13family's
03:14decision then make a new decision seven years ago she made one for me this time i'm choosing for
03:19myself
03:22you just hung up on them that was the bastoni family council they don't like me i do is that
03:27clear enough
03:39what if they really turn against you because of me it took you seven years to get where you are
03:44i don't want you losing everything again because of me don't decide for me
03:54you just said you'd stop choosing for me what you forgot five minutes later
04:00i'm just afraid you'll lose everything you worked for
04:06that's still my decision you can ask me if it's worth it you don't get to answer for me
04:14fine then this time i'm not leaving at least i'm not disappearing a second
04:18time because somebody says i'm not suitable that's more like it
04:28sir this just arrived from the family estate the council requires both
04:31you and miss bennett to attend tomorrow evening
04:36is that an invitation more like a summons then i'm going you don't have to you just told me not
04:45to decide for you fast learner
04:59do they think i'm not even worthy of representing the viscoti name and what i wear
05:04they'll pick apart everything they can your background your debt your father your job someone
05:08may even have an opinion about which glass you pick up they sound delightful
05:14which is why you don't need to please them
05:23then i'm wearing what i'm comfortable in good remember one thing tomorrow night
05:28what you're not going there to ask for their approval
05:55is it too late to get back in the car no then i'm not going back
06:09miss bennett i understand there are still outstanding claims tied to your father's financial case
06:14there are my lawyers are handling them you're still working at an ordinary company
06:24yes if you truly intend to stand beside the godfather one day do you think that kind of job is
06:29appropriate
06:30as long as it's legal and doesn't interfere with my responsibilities i don't see why it wouldn't be
06:38you're more direct than the rumors suggested miss bennett
06:42rumors usually don't bother asking the person they're about
06:51let me be clear i don't dislike you miss bennett who dario loves is his private concern but loving
06:56someone and being right for a family are two different things i understand your father's case
07:02the bennett bankruptcy your current debt dispute any of it can be used against dario the godfather's
07:06wife represents more than herself
07:11then let them come after me if what they say is true i'll own it if it isn't they can
07:15prove it
07:15you think it's all that simple no that's why i came
07:24miss bennett if you truly love dario why can't you leave sometimes walking away from someone is how
07:31you protect them
07:40because i already made that mistake once seven years ago i thought deciding for him and pushing
07:46him away was for his own good all i did was make him search for me for seven years while
07:50i spent seven
07:51years hiding so you'd rather let him go against his entire family for you i won't ask him to fight
08:04anyone for me but i also won't decide for him who he should give up
08:12then why did you come here tonight
08:18because you're dario's family i'm willing to respect you and i'm willing to let you know exactly
08:24who i am but i did not come here to ask permission for who i choose to be with
08:30my father has a financial case hanging over him my family went bankrupt i have owed a lot of money
08:36but my relationship is not up for a vote
08:44you're brave
08:47it's not bravery i'm just done running
09:02you didn't help me once in there
09:06didn't you say you didn't want me handling things for you
09:11i'm starting to hate the things i say
09:14you'll get used to it
09:17i did like the part where you said our relationship isn't up for a vote
09:21good because i'm not saying it twice
09:30she handled herself better last night than i expected
09:35that doesn't sound like a compliment
09:40because one dinner doesn't decide this she can be your girlfriend she can attend private events at
09:45your side but the council is not prepared to recognize her as the future don's wife
09:52i didn't ask whether you recognized anything
09:56that is exactly the problem you're the godfather not a king the viscoches have a board council capital
10:03allies and dozens of families tied to us
10:07you can force everyone into line once you cannot treat everyone as the enemy forever
10:17what do you actually want
10:23time don't rush into a public engagement don't rush her into family decisions let the council see
10:28that she won't become your weakness
10:33and if i say no
10:39then people will demand reviews of several major business decisions you've made
10:44some may even call for a vote of confidence
10:49is that a threat
10:51it's a warning
10:53you spent seven years making them accept your authority
10:55don't force them to test your limits again just to prove you love one woman
11:06so they really can limit you they can make trouble
11:11how did you deal with that kind of trouble before
11:14i made them regret it
11:17that sounds exactly like you
11:20but don't prove anything because of me this time we can take it slow
11:24you're not scared
11:25i am but i ran seven years ago because i was scared we already know that doesn't work
11:40mr vestadi there's been speculation that the vestadi and deluki families are discussing a deeper
11:44partnership does that include marriage no
11:48you could at least leave the reporters a little room to imagine
11:51i don't like people inventing girlfriends for me
12:01you should grant marriage alliance then care for stuff to be heard new it'll tip
12:12i can explain you don't need to
12:20i saw you say no on camera
12:22that's it
12:23what else am i supposed to do storm the gala and throw red wine on her
12:29you would have done that once
12:34i was 20. now i just want to finish my pasta
12:41i trust you now you don't have to come home and file an incident report every time someone
12:45photographs you next to a woman
12:55today's photos will make the council feel a little more at ease
13:01i attended a charity gala if you want to use me to max your headlines again at least ask me
13:04first
13:05it was only to remind dario that there are more stable options
13:32i'm sorry both clients asked for you to be removed from their projects otherwise they'll switch vendors
13:39why they didn't put a reason in writing they only said they don't want to get pulled into
13:42controversy involving the vizoti family
13:47and the company
13:51i'm not firing you but i do have to take you off those two accounts
14:07miss bennett due to recent media exposure and our review of associated party risk
14:11we're unable to continue processing your application at this time i applied for my
14:15own line of credit what does dario have to do with it i understand but this is the risk department's
14:20decision
14:22so
14:49I'll have someone look into it.
14:51Not yet.
14:52Leona.
14:52I'm not saying we should ignore it.
14:54I want to know whether they're trying to scare me
14:56or push me into doing something they need me to do.
15:09Give me an hour and I can tell you which printer this came from,
15:12which access point it passed through,
15:14and which car delivered it.
15:20And tomorrow, all of New York will know
15:22the Godfather searched half the city
15:24over one anonymous note sent to his girlfriend.
15:28I don't care.
15:30I do.
15:31Because that's exactly what they want everyone to believe.
15:33That the second I show up,
15:35you lose all sense of proportion.
15:39Give me two days.
15:40I'll start with the clients in the bank.
15:42If I hit a wall, then I'll borrow your knife.
15:44Lawyers.
15:46Your face did not look like you were thinking about lawyers.
16:01The two companies don't share any shareholders.
16:06Check who financed them.
16:07North Harbor Partners.
16:12Then trace the people behind it.
16:26This alone doesn't prove Conrad ordered the clients
16:29to pull you from the projects,
16:31but it does show the pressure you're under isn't random.
16:36That's enough.
16:38Are you going to tell Mr. Bisky?
16:39I'm going to tell Conrad first.
16:41I want him to know I know it's him.
16:54Two clients,
16:55the bank's risk review,
16:56and an anonymous letter.
16:58You still want to tell me that's all a coincidence?
17:06I'm only showing you what it costs
17:07to stand beside Dario.
17:11So this is you saving me again?
17:13Leave him.
17:14The projects come back,
17:15the bank reopens your application,
17:16and we can talk about the debt.
17:17Seven years ago,
17:18you knew my family was falling apart
17:20and did nothing.
17:22Now, seven years later,
17:23you suddenly want to be my savior?
17:25Is that because you actually care about me,
17:26or because you finally think
17:27you have a chance to beat him?
17:31At least I wouldn't let you
17:32become a target for a mafia family.
17:37How is what you're doing
17:38any different from what I did in college?
17:39You have money and connections,
17:40so you think everyone else should accept
17:41the answer you've already chosen for them.
17:43Are you lecturing me for Dario now?
17:44No.
17:44I'm embarrassed for the person I used to be.
17:47You'll regret this.
17:48The Viscone family will never truly accept you.
17:50That's my problem.
17:51It's not your opportunity.
18:13I can make North Harbor disappear by tomorrow.
18:16You promised to let me handle it.
18:17I'm just giving you options.
18:19Your options are always illegal.
18:21Not always.
18:22Acquisitions are legal.
18:24Don't move yet.
18:25The more desperate he gets,
18:26the more evidence he'll leave behind.
18:37The press is already looking into several
18:39of North Harbor's bridge loans.
18:41If they're tied to related party pressure,
18:43we could breach our bank covenants.
18:49Shut the story down.
18:53The press isn't the problem.
18:55The problem is why you're still circling Miss Benny.
19:04I can stop.
19:06All you have to do is admit that choosing Dario back then
19:09was an impulsive mistake.
19:15Why do you need to hear that so badly?
19:17Because I was better for you than he was.
19:19Seven years ago and now.
19:21Conrad, you've always believed you lost to him
19:23because he eventually got money, power,
19:25and the Vizoti name.
19:26Didn't I?
19:27No.
19:27Seven years ago, he had nothing,
19:29and I still chose him.
19:30Seven years later, you have everything,
19:31and I still won't choose you.
19:37Then what exactly did I lose on?
19:43I don't like you.
19:45It's that simple.
19:48You turned the last seven years into a competition.
19:50I was never in it.
19:52I was never in it.
20:03I was never in it for you.
20:08I was never in it.
20:19Here's the issue.
20:20Hayes Capital acquired the debt through an affiliated fund,
20:23but the consulting firm that evaluated seven years ago
20:25has overlapping interests with the fund's current manager.
20:31If we can show that inside information was improperly used,
20:34we can ask the court to review the transfer price
20:36and the related party disclosures.
20:41What are our chances?
20:43Not 100%.
20:47That's enough.
20:49I don't need 100%.
20:50I just need him to stop using this debt like an engagement ring.
21:18Miss Bennett, will Mr. Vistani be paying your legal fees?
21:20This is my case. I'm paying my own lawyers.
21:23Can you actually afford that?
21:25I'll pay it slowly.
21:27If there's one thing I'm experienced at, it's debt.
21:43Do you need the best lawyers?
21:44I already have them.
21:46Do you need money?
21:47No.
21:48Good.
21:49You agreed that easily?
21:51I'm learning.
22:12What are you doing here?
22:14Dario won't see me.
22:16So you thought I'd make you an appointment?
22:18I'm not here to beg you.
22:21Good.
22:21Because I'm not planning to forgive you either.
22:38I was jealous of you back then.
22:40You had everything.
22:42Grades, money, friends, and in the end, even the man I wanted wanted you.
22:50So you took the thing that hurt him most and handed it to everyone so they could laugh at him?
22:54I know what I did was wrong, but I didn't know all those details on my own.
23:00What do you mean?
23:04Someone fed me information.
23:06The date Dario's grandfather was admitted, how much he owed, which window you paid at.
23:12Even when he started refusing to let you keep paying, someone knew far more than I did.
23:34Back then I didn't even know what Visconti meant.
23:37I thought it was just some former classmate feeding me gossip.
23:39Why are you telling me now?
23:41Being jealous of you is one thing.
23:42Finding out someone used me as a weapon is another.
23:46That doesn't mean I forgive you.
23:48I know.
24:14You recognize it?
24:18It was the Visconti Foundation for university grants and youth programs.
24:21It was already operating seven years ago.
24:22So someone in your family knew about us even then?
24:25At least someone knew about me.
24:26My father kept my identity hidden from the outside world,
24:29but not everyone in the family was in the dark.
24:33During my last two years of college, someone started watching me,
24:36trying to see whether I had what it took, whether I had any weaknesses,
24:40whether I could become a successor.
24:45So I could have been in their reports the entire time?
24:53Possibly.
24:58But if someone deliberately fed Romina information about you and kept those campus rumors growing,
25:03that wasn't surveillance anymore.
25:04Don't jump to an answer yet.
25:06We still don't have proof of who sent the email.
25:11You taught me.
25:12Follow the evidence.
25:16That is very annoying coming from you.
25:35This email did not come from a regular employee account.
25:38It went through an anonymous relay inside the foundation,
25:40and the payment account at the end has a number, not a name.
26:08You never used to care if I smoked.
26:14You couldn't afford cigarettes this expensive back then.
26:17You still haven't told me what actually happened after you entered the Viscote family seven years ago.
26:27If you want to know whether I belong here, ask everything at once.
26:30Stop coming up a different stupid test every day.
26:38Nobody suddenly becomes anything.
26:40By the time you saw The Godfather in the news, I'd already spent two years making everyone shut up.
26:47I spent those two years serving coffee in Miami.
26:50I know.
26:55Later, I found records that you'd worked in Miami.
26:58By then, I was a few months too late.
26:59I was always just behind you.
27:04Then don't miss me this time.
27:06We'll investigate it together.
27:20The system administrator back then was Enrico Salvi.
27:23He died of a heart attack four years ago.
27:27Who had access to the anonymous relay?
27:29The administrator, the finance director, and core family authorized accounts.
27:33We'd need the old permissions list for specific names.
27:53We can confirm that this account paid the Foundation a special project fee every month,
27:57but the account holder was anonymized a second time.
28:01Can you recover it?
28:03Can you recover it?
28:05It'll take time.
28:25Don't start by suspecting Vitidio.
28:27I didn't say him.
28:28There are no words on my face.
28:30There are now.
28:30They say I really want to settle a score with someone.
28:37Fine.
28:38We wait for evidence.
28:53Over the past month, the Viscotti name has appeared in more than 20 financial and entertainment headlines because of Miss
28:58Bennet.
28:58We've also lost two business partnerships.
29:04Did you investigate it why we lost them?
29:06I'm talking about the result.
29:08The family cannot keep paying for the Godfather's personal choices.
29:13Mateo.
29:18Father, I'm only saying what everyone here is thinking.
29:22We're requesting a formal review of several high-risk decisions.
29:31Follow the bylaws.
29:37If the review still doesn't satisfy the council, we have the right to call a vote of confidence in the
29:41Godfather.
29:44Then call it.
29:58You voted once seven years ago.
30:00If you want to vote again, I'll be here.
30:10What are you going to do?
30:15Let them vote.
30:18That confident?
30:21No.
30:22I just hate begging.
30:28Then don't.
30:30Let the results speak for you.
