Transcript
00:02I'd been notorious since I was a little girl.
00:05My father couldn't control me, and my stepmother didn't dare cross me.
00:11Anyone who messed with me paid the price.
00:13By the time I turned 28, no man this city wanted to marry me.
00:17So my family sold me off to a widowed mafia dad.
00:21I walked into the DeMarco family ready to make them all fear me.
00:25But then a little girl tugged on my dress.
00:28Are you my mom? Do I really have a mom now?
00:32In that moment, I was 8 years old again, meeting my stepmother for the first time after my mother died.
00:38I decided that, for this girl, I would become the mother I never had.
00:43Even if I had to burn every rule in this house to ashes.
00:51Oh, Aurora sweetheart. Today you're going to become Mrs. DeMonto.
00:55I'm going to miss you so much.
00:58Really?
00:58If you're going to miss me that much, how about I just don't get married?
01:01What?
01:02If I don't like married life, I can always come back.
01:05So keep my room exactly the way it is.
01:06Come back?
01:07No!
01:08No, that won't be necessary.
01:10Go, go!
01:11God bless you, darling!
01:13Hurry up and get married!
01:15Oh!
01:19She sure got out of here fast.
01:27I heard the Vitale hairress never appears in public.
01:30Hardly anyone has even seen a photo of her.
01:32Any woman Adrian DeMarco would marry has to be someone special.
01:35But if they've kept her hidden all these years, could she really be that ugly?
01:39Are you kidding?
01:40Adrian could have any woman he wants.
01:42There's no way he'd marry an ugly woman.
01:46How much longer?
01:47The bride should have arrived by now.
02:14Miss, who are you?
02:16I'm your bride, Aurora Vitale.
02:21I thought they said the Vitale heiress was beautiful.
02:23That's not a bride, that's a whale.
02:25Keep your voice down.
02:26This is a DeMarco wedding.
02:27What's there to be afraid of?
02:28We can't say what we think?
02:29Do we have to wait until everyone shuts up before the wedding can continue?
02:33Quite a temper.
02:34Adrian, you're in for one hell of a night.
02:36With a bride that big, I'm not sure your bed will survive the wedding night.
02:45What?
02:46You want to start something?
02:55Can we start now?
02:57Continue the ceremony.
03:02Sir, we have a problem.
03:03They made their move early.
03:06Are you sure?
03:07Yes.
03:08You need to go now.
03:10Wait.
03:11If you leave, what happens to the wedding?
03:13It goes on.
03:14You want me to finish the ceremony with your portrait?
03:16I've already signed the papers.
03:18The marriage stands.
03:19From today on, you're my wife.
03:20And the lady of the DeMarco house.
03:22Are you serious?
03:23I'm sorry.
03:29I'm sorry.
03:31Mr. DeMarco has already signed.
03:33Once you sign, the marriage is official.
03:36What could possibly be so urgent that he'd abandon his own wedding?
03:39I think he finally got a good look at the bride and couldn't stand to stay.
03:42What does she have to complain about?
03:44She's lucky the DeMarcos even let her marry into the family.
03:50From this moment on, you are Mrs. DeMarco.
03:59Let them pity me all they want.
04:02They think being abandoned by your husband at your own wedding is the ultimate humiliation.
04:08But I never needed a husband.
04:12What I want is a mansion, an empire, and walls high enough to keep my family away from me forever.
04:25Iron gates, high walls, security cameras.
04:28Not bad.
04:30At least the Vitales won't be able to get in so easily.
04:42Does Adrienne usually stay here?
04:43Mr. DeMarco rarely comes home.
04:54Are you, are you my mom?
04:56Do I really have a mom now?
04:58I heard Adrienne's late wife had two children.
05:01She must be one of them.
05:03Yes.
05:04You have a mom now.
05:16You must be Leo.
05:18Sophia?
05:19Leo?
05:24So you're the replacement Adrienne brought home.
05:30Sophia, Leo, it's past your bedtime.
05:32Go back to your rooms.
05:36Sophia, how many times have I told you not to wander around after bedtime?
05:40Come here.
05:45Disobeying me again?
05:47Looks like you've forgotten every rule I taught you.
05:52Let go of me.
05:53She just met me.
05:54She's a little shy.
05:56There's no need to grab her like that.
05:57I'm disciplining her.
05:58I don't care how you used to discipline her.
06:01But starting today, I'm her mother.
06:06I didn't hurt her.
06:07You saw it wrong.
06:10Tell her, sweetheart.
06:12Did I hurt you?
06:13When I was little, whenever Helen and gave me that look, I knew to say no.
06:18Tell them.
06:18Did I hurt you?
06:21See?
06:22She said it herself.
06:23Sophia's always been shy.
06:25You just got here.
06:25You don't know her.
06:26The kids can show you around tomorrow.
06:27If you need anything, ask the staff.
06:31Where are your rooms?
06:32I'll walk you back.
06:42You two sleep here?
06:48Always have.
06:55Tommy!
06:59I wore these yesterday.
07:01I don't want them anymore.
07:02And take that new game console to my room.
07:04Now!
07:04Yes, young master.
07:06And I want a fresh chocolate cake.
07:08Yesterday's tasted awful.
07:09I'll have the kitchen make another one right away.
07:16Who's room is that?
07:18Marco's?
07:19Grandma likes him best.
07:21Even the staff call him the golden boy.
07:23Adrian's own children are living like orphans in one of the wealthiest mafia families around.
07:28This is insane.
07:29Don't sleep here tonight.
07:31You're staying with me.
07:32Really?
07:33Really.
07:50Don't eat that.
07:59The kitchen wasn't sure what you liked.
08:01I hope you don't mind.
08:05You're right.
08:07I suppose I should eat what I'm served.
08:12What are you doing?
08:27Aurora!
08:28Let me make this clear.
08:30If I'm served garbage, you'll eat worse.
08:32If my children go hungry, your son goes hungry too.
08:35Try me again, and you'll be on your knees begging Adrian to come back and save you.
08:40Clear all of this away and make breakfast again.
08:42The children eat first.
08:44No one else touches the food until they're full.
08:47Didn't you hear me?
08:48Yes, ma'am.
09:03Eat.
09:08You!
09:12Have the new dining rules posted before tonight.
09:15Starting today, Sophia and Leo eat first and eats until they're full.
09:19If anyone serves them something like this again, they're fired on the spot.
09:25Where's your brother?
09:26I don't know.
09:27Then stay right here.
09:28I'll go find your brother.
09:38Shut up.
09:39Do you want my mom to find out?
09:41She'll lock you in the basement again.
09:44Marco.
09:48What are you doing?
09:51Get out.
09:51This isn't your business.
09:55Let go of me!
09:56My mom will destroy you if you touch me!
09:58Your mom isn't here right now.
10:01Let me go!
10:02My mom will kill you!
10:03Then she can get in line.
10:04Let me go!
10:05My mom will kill you!
10:10Let me in!
10:11I'm telling mom!
10:12Good.
10:12Give her my regard.
10:19How long has he been doing this to you?
10:21Three years.
10:23Three years?
10:24Why didn't you fight back?
10:26Annalisa said if I ever hurt Marco,
10:28she'd tell dad I was violent.
10:29She said dad would send me away
10:31and I'd never get to see Sofia again.
10:34Look at me.
10:37Next time Marco touches you,
10:38fight back.
10:39But Annalisa...
10:40No buts!
10:41Make a scene.
10:42Fight back.
10:43Whatever happens,
10:44I've got your back.
10:45Just remember one thing.
10:46Don't ever let anyone hurt you
10:48without fighting back.
10:49What if dad really does try to send me away?
10:52You're my child now.
10:54As long as I'm in this house,
10:55no one gets to send you away.
10:58Okay.
11:00Come on.
11:01Where are we going?
11:02Back to my room.
11:03Sofia's waiting for you.
11:09Allura.
11:12Go to sleep.
11:20Allura!
11:21What did you do to my son?
11:25Stay here.
11:29My son was out on that terrace all night.
11:31How dare you lock him outside?
11:33Your son held a lit cigarette
11:34to my child's face.
11:36You should be grateful
11:36all I did was make him spend
11:37one night outside.
11:38What gives you the right
11:39to treat him like that?
11:40If he ever touches Leo again,
11:42last night will seem merciful.
11:45Aurora, you'll pay for this.
11:50Is Marco in trouble?
11:52Big trouble.
11:56No one will ever bully
11:58either of you again.
11:59I promise.
12:01And anyone who tries
12:02will answer to me.
12:09Ma'am,
12:10Grandmother would like to see you
12:11in the family chapel.
12:12Now?
12:12Yes.
12:13Miss Alina's there as well.
12:15All right.
12:16I'll be there in a minute.
12:21Sit down.
12:24You married into the DeMarco family.
12:25You have a duty as his wife.
12:28Adrian is out there
12:29protecting this family.
12:30You should be praying
12:31for his safe return.
12:32How?
12:33Come here at five
12:34every morning
12:35and kneel for an hour.
12:36Then you're not worthy
12:37of the DeMarco name.
12:38And if I don't?
12:40Then you're not worthy
12:41of the DeMarco name.
12:43I'll write to Adrian
12:44and tell him you blasphemed
12:45against God
12:46and disgraced this family.
12:52Five in the morning, right?
12:53Yes.
12:54Fine.
12:55I'll be here.
13:09What are you doing?
13:10You told me to come at five.
13:12I'm here.
13:13Kneel!
13:14I don't kneel.
13:16Not to you.
13:17Not to anyone.
13:18You're blaspheming
13:19against God.
13:21If prayer really worked,
13:22Adrian wouldn't make
13:23his living killing people.
13:25And I wouldn't have survived
13:26by making my own miracles.
13:27You dare drink in here?
13:31There are plenty of things
13:32I dare to do.
13:34I'll tell Adrian
13:36everything you've done
13:37here today.
13:37Go ahead.
13:39Tell him I refused to kneel.
13:40Tell him I drank
13:41in his precious chapel.
13:42But make sure you
13:43tell him the rest.
13:44Tell him his children
13:45wore old clothes
13:46that didn't fit
13:47and slept beside
13:47the servants' corridor.
13:49Should I bring Leo here?
13:51Should I make him show you
13:52what Marco did to him
13:53with that cigarette?
14:01You want to frighten me
14:02with Adrian?
14:03Go ahead.
14:04But think carefully.
14:05When he comes home,
14:05will he punish me first?
14:07Or ask why you let his children
14:08live like servants
14:09under his own roof?
14:11From now on,
14:12I run this house.
14:13You can keep the chapel.
14:14Pray until your knees bleed
14:16if you want.
14:16But the house is mine.
14:18You don't order me,
14:19and you never use Adrian's name
14:21to threaten me again.
14:22And if I refuse?
14:24Then we wait for Adrian
14:25to come home.
14:27Every bruise,
14:29every burn,
14:31every night his children
14:32were treated like
14:33they didn't belong here,
14:34we'll count every last one.
14:36Then we'll see who he blames.
14:45You really are a vicious woman.
14:50Exactly.
14:51That's why they married me
14:52to your grandson.
14:53Men like Adrian
14:54don't need obedient wives.
14:55They need weapons.
14:59You're just going
15:00to let her walk away?
15:01She's only been here
15:02a few days,
15:02and she's already
15:03walking all over us!
15:06If this keeps up,
15:07everyone in this house
15:08will be answering to her.
15:09Be quiet.
15:11Let me think.
15:16Mom,
15:17are they going
15:18to make you leave?
15:24Unless they carry me
15:25out in a coffin,
15:26no one's getting rid of me.
15:28Relax.
15:29I'm not that easy to kill.
15:33Grandmother backed down
15:34for now,
15:34and Elena had lost
15:36her biggest ally.
15:37But before I settled
15:38the score with her,
15:39I needed to rewrite
15:41the rules of this house.
15:47What the hell is going on?
15:49Is someone breaking in?
15:54Good morning.
15:58What is wrong with you?
15:59It was a drill.
16:01The DeMarco family
16:02has real enemies.
16:03There are people
16:04outside those gates
16:04who want every one
16:05of us dead.
16:06And this pathetic performance
16:08just made one thing
16:09very clear.
16:11From the moment
16:11that alarm went off
16:12to the moment
16:13the last person arrived,
16:14four full minutes.
16:16Four minutes.
16:18Long enough for every one
16:19of you to die
16:20before help even arrives.
16:21You're insane!
16:23Insane?
16:24No.
16:25Prepared.
16:25That's why you're still alive.
16:27From now on,
16:28when that alarm goes off,
16:30you don't ask why,
16:30you don't look for permission,
16:31you move.
16:32You don't have that authority!
16:35Of course I do.
16:37I'm the lady of this house.
16:39And the moment I started
16:40protecting it better
16:40than all of you,
16:41I earned the right
16:42to command it.
16:43If you refuse to take
16:44security seriously
16:45during the day,
16:46then we'll train at night.
16:48kitchen.
16:50Now.
16:50Breakfast for ten.
16:59That was an order,
17:00not a request.
17:03Adrian will hear about this.
17:06Then tell him his wife
17:07ran a security drill
17:08at four in the morning.
17:09And tell him his household
17:11couldn't manage
17:11a single breakfast
17:12without falling apart.
17:14Then we'll see
17:15who he's angry with.
17:16The woman protecting
17:17his family
17:18or the people
17:19who failed it.
17:30These drills will happen
17:31without warning
17:32from now on.
17:34And they'll continue
17:34until everyone
17:35in this estate
17:36is worthy of the
17:36DeMarco name
17:37they hide behind.
17:38I can't tell
17:39if you're fearless
17:41or if you simply
17:42don't know
17:42how to be afraid.
17:48That's exactly
17:49what makes me dangerous.
17:50After that drill
17:51the estate
17:52finally settled down
17:53but Adrian still
17:54hadn't come home.
17:56I heard he was
17:57somewhere in Eastern Europe
17:58dealing with a shipment
17:59that couldn't wait.
18:00Deals, bloodshed
18:01and one mess
18:02after another
18:03that was his life.
18:04He was handling
18:05the trouble outside the gate.
18:06I was cleaning up
18:06the rot inside them.
18:08The staff finally knew
18:09who to obey.
18:10Elena kept her head down
18:11and the children
18:12finally started living
18:13like the rightful heirs
18:14to their own home.
18:25Leo, stop!
18:38You got in a fight?
18:39I fought back.
18:41But I still lost.
18:43Who?
18:44Carter Reed
18:45and two of his friends.
18:47They started talking
18:48about my mom again.
18:49They said she killed herself
18:50because she'd rather die
18:51than live with us.
18:53Losing doesn't matter.
18:55This time
18:55you fought back.
18:56That matters.
18:57Next time
18:59win.
19:01Mom
19:02did people bully you
19:03when you were little too?
19:04Of course.
19:06After my mother died
19:07I was small and skinny.
19:09Easy target.
19:13No one protected me back then
19:14so I learned to become
19:15the thing they were afraid
19:16to touch.
19:19Eventually I figured out
19:20that if I looked big enough,
19:22strong enough,
19:22and mean enough,
19:23greatest people
19:24accession there at worst.
19:26People stopped
19:27trying to hurt me.
19:31So that's why
19:32you made yourself so big?
19:35Back then,
19:36this was my armor.
19:38It made sure
19:38no one could ever
19:39look at me
19:40and see something
19:40helpless again.
19:42But Mom,
19:43you're not alone anymore.
19:44I'm going to get stronger.
19:46I'll protect Sophia
19:47and I'll protect you too.
19:48Then I'm going
19:49to get stronger too.
19:50When Leo and I are strong,
19:52you won't have to hide
19:53inside your armor anymore.
19:57I'd spent years
19:58teaching myself
19:59to need no one.
20:00But hearing these
20:01two little troublemakers
20:02say they wanted
20:02to protect me,
20:03for the first time
20:04I knew what home
20:05felt like.
20:08You want to get stronger?
20:10Then come with me.
20:21Don't just swing.
20:23Find the opening.
20:24Be fast.
20:24Be precise.
20:25Bring your hands
20:26right back after you punch.
20:27Don't stand there
20:27waiting to get hit.
20:28Next time,
20:29you don't lose.
20:32You're training too?
20:36I made myself bigger
20:37so people would be
20:37afraid of me.
20:41but now I want to see
20:42what I can become
20:42without hiding
20:43behind this armor.
20:44One month.
20:49In one month,
20:49we'll see which one of us
20:50has changed more.
20:52Deal.
20:52I'll keep watch.
20:54Fine.
20:54Keep track of anyone
20:55who slacks off.
20:58From that day on,
21:00Leo and I trained
21:01for a full month.
21:02Hands back up.
21:02Don't hand them your face.
21:15Leo got tougher every day
21:18and I realized
21:19I could get stronger too,
21:20even without that armor.
21:22Now that's more like it.
21:38A month later,
21:40Leo went back to school.
21:46I knew he'd run into
21:47those boys again
21:48sooner or later.
22:02I just didn't expect
22:03it to happen this fast.
22:05Hello?
22:06Mrs. Damara,
22:07we have a serious problem.
22:10Sir,
22:11everything here
22:11has been taken care of.
22:12Did you get what I asked for?
22:18Leaving her alone
22:19at our wedding
22:19wasn't exactly
22:20my finest moment.
22:22Hopefully,
22:22she'll like this.
22:23Sir,
22:24back to the estate.
22:27Sir,
22:28something happened
22:29at Leo's school.
22:29He injured another student.
22:31They want a guardian
22:31there immediately.
22:32School first.
22:36Mr. DeMarco.
22:37During lunch,
22:38Leo got into a fight
22:39with Carter
22:40and his two friends.
22:41He drove a compass
22:42through Carter's hand
22:43and pinned it
22:44to the desk.
22:45My son could have
22:46lost the use
22:47of his hand.
22:48The DeMarco family
22:49owes us an answer.
22:50They started it.
22:51You hurt someone
22:52that badly
22:53and still think
22:53you're right?
22:54Is that what
22:54that fat woman
22:55taught you?
22:56Who is this?
22:57The man Mrs. DeMarco
22:58threw out at the wedding.
23:00Don't talk about
23:00my mom like that.
23:04What am I wrong?
23:06She's fat,
23:07nasty tempered,
23:08and throws a punch
23:09the second she hears
23:10something she doesn't like?
23:11What kind of child
23:12could a woman like that
23:13possibly raise?
23:14Where's Aurora?
23:16We already contacted
23:17Mrs. DeMarco.
23:18She should be here
23:18any minute.
23:19Good.
23:19Let her come.
23:20I'd love to see
23:21how that fat woman
23:22plans to defend him
23:23this time.
23:25Look what you did
23:26to my son's hand.
23:27You're going to
23:28apologize to Carter.
23:29Did you hear me?
23:31Apologize!
23:33I'd like to see
23:34who thinks
23:34they can make
23:35my son apologize.
23:45Mom!
23:49Mom?
23:52What?
23:53Three months apart
23:54and you don't even
23:54recognize your own wife?
23:58You're Aurora?
24:01You're the one
24:02trying to make
24:02my son apologize?
24:05Yes.
24:06Your son hurt
24:07my son this badly.
24:09You don't think
24:09he owes him an apology?
24:10Carter's hand
24:11still hurts.
24:12The doctor said
24:13he almost damaged
24:14a nerve.
24:14Mom!
24:15My hand really hurts!
24:18What about you?
24:19I'm fine.
24:22You did good.
24:23You fought back.
24:27Mrs. DeMono
24:28Leo did stab
24:30Carter with
24:31a drawing compass
24:31today.
24:32This was far more
24:34serious than
24:34an ordinary school
24:35fight.
24:36This isn't over!
24:40Carter's parents
24:40are also demanding
24:41that the school
24:42take action.
24:43This matter.
24:45I've got this.
24:51What do you want?
24:53Fine.
24:54You're the one
24:55who asked.
24:57First,
24:58I want Leo
24:59to publicly
24:59apologize to my son
25:01in front of
25:02the whole school!
25:03And I want him
25:03to admit
25:04he deliberately
25:05hurt Carter!
25:07Second,
25:08the DeMarsos
25:09pay every pent
25:10of Carter's
25:10medical and
25:11rehabilitation costs.
25:13What else?
25:16A dangerous
25:17kid like him
25:18has no business
25:20staying at this
25:21school!
25:21school!
25:23I want him
25:24out of this
25:24school today!
25:26And I never
25:26want him anywhere
25:27near my son
25:27again!
25:37That's Adrian DeMato.
25:39If you really
25:40take this that far,
25:41we're the ones
25:41who'll pay for it.
25:42What are you
25:43afraid of?
25:44Carter's the one
25:45who got hurt.
25:47Aurora humiliated
25:48me at that
25:48wedding.
25:49I've been holding
25:50that in for
25:50three months.
25:51Today,
25:52I'm getting even.
25:53But...
25:54Her son
25:54heard Cater
25:54first.
25:55This time,
25:56she'll have
25:56no choice
25:56but to back
25:57down.
25:59So,
26:00do you agree
26:01to my terms
26:01or not?
26:06And if I
26:06don't?
26:09Then I'll
26:09take this
26:09straight to
26:10the press.
26:11A DeMato
26:12kid stabbing
26:12another student
26:13with a drawing
26:13compass?
26:14Let's see how
26:15you clean that
26:15up once it
26:16hits the news.
26:16Mr. Reid,
26:17this is still
26:18a matter
26:18between children.
26:19There's no need
26:19to drag the
26:20press into it.
26:20Stay out
26:21of this!
26:26Watch your
26:27tongue.
26:29I'm just
26:29telling the
26:30truth.
26:30My son is
26:31the one who
26:31got hurt.
26:31We're in
26:32the right
26:32here.
26:34Agree to
26:34my terms
26:34and there's
26:35no reason
26:35for me
26:35to go
26:36to the
26:36press.
26:37The
26:37press.
26:42Now,
26:42I'm curious
26:42too.
26:43I wonder
26:44what the
26:44press will
26:44write when
26:45they see
26:45these.
26:47What are
26:47you talking
26:48about?
27:01didn't you
27:02want the
27:02press?
27:03So do
27:04I.
27:08Leo,
27:09why didn't
27:09you ever
27:09tell me
27:09about any
27:10of this?
27:12You're
27:13always busy.
27:14I thought
27:14I could
27:15handle it
27:15myself.
27:17Leo,
27:18I...
27:18And just
27:19now?
27:21You didn't
27:21believe me
27:22right away
27:22either,
27:23did you?
27:25Leo,
27:26there are
27:27just a few
27:27photos.
27:29Who says
27:29Cater did
27:30any of
27:30this?
27:32I knew
27:32you'd say
27:32that.
27:37That's
27:37why I
27:37came prepared.
27:40With no
27:40mom around
27:41to protect
27:41you?
27:42You really
27:42think you're
27:42some big
27:43shot DeMarco
27:43kid?
27:44Your dad's
27:44never around.
27:45Who do
27:45you think
27:45is coming
27:46to protect
27:46you?
27:47What?
27:47Too scared
27:48to talk?
27:49Leave
27:49my mom
27:50out of
27:50this.
27:50I'll
27:51say it
27:51anyway.
27:52Your mom
27:53would rather
27:53die than
27:54stay with
27:55you.
27:56Get out
27:57of my
27:57way!
28:00The footage
28:00is clear.
28:01Carter and
28:02the others
28:02provoked and
28:03cornered Leo
28:03first.
28:04Leo was
28:04acting in
28:05self-defense.
28:10Mr.
28:11DeMonto,
28:11Mrs.
28:12DeMonto,
28:12it was just
28:13kids messing
28:14around.
28:15Carter,
28:15apologize to
28:16Leo.
28:16Now!
28:17Dad!
28:17Do it!
28:18Do it!
28:21Sorry.
28:22Don't
28:23bother.
28:24I accept
28:25your terms
28:25with one
28:26change.
28:27Carter
28:27apologizes
28:28to Leo
28:29and then
28:30he leaves
28:30this school.
28:31What?
28:33Was that
28:34unclear?
28:35Who the
28:36hell are
28:36you to
28:37decide
28:37where my
28:38son
28:38goes to
28:39school?
28:46Are you
28:47questioning
28:47questioning my
28:47wife?
28:48Aurora is
28:49my wife
28:50and she
28:50speaks for
28:50this family.
28:51What she
28:52says,
28:52I say.

29:32You're coming
29:33home today?
29:37Leo,
29:40you were
29:41right back
29:41there.
29:42I didn't
29:43believe you
29:43right away.
29:44and all
29:45those
29:45injuries,
29:47three years
29:48and I only
29:49found out
29:50today.
29:51That's on
29:51me.
29:52Leo,
29:53I'm sorry.
29:54It's okay.
29:55You're the
29:56Don.
29:57People are
29:57always waiting
29:58on you and
29:58there are
29:59things only
29:59you can
29:59handle.
30:00I didn't
30:01want to
30:01bother you
30:01with something
30:02this small.
30:03But before
30:04I'm the
30:04Don,
30:05I'm your
30:05father.
30:07From now
30:07on,
30:08if something
30:09happens,
30:10you tell
30:11me.
30:13even if
30:14you're
30:14busy?
30:15Even
30:16then.
30:18So,
30:20you're not
30:20mad at me
30:21about today?
30:27You were
30:28protecting
30:28yourself.
30:30And DeMarco
30:31doesn't just
30:31stand there
30:31and take
30:32it.
30:35Mom said
30:35the same
30:36thing.
30:37She said
30:37if someone
30:37comes after
30:38me,
30:38I fight
30:39back.
30:42She taught
30:43you well.
30:46I'll take
30:46the compliment.
31:01Dad!
31:03Dad,
31:04you're really
31:04back.
31:05I haven't seen
31:06you in
31:06forever.
31:07Are you
31:08leaving again
31:08today?
31:10It's
31:11handled.
31:12I'm
31:12staying for
31:13now.
31:14Really?
31:15Hmm.
31:17Then you
31:18can have
31:18dinner with
31:18us tonight.
31:20Relax.
31:20He's not
31:21getting away
31:21today.
31:23Leo,
31:24was that
31:25a joke?
31:26Why not?
31:28But you
31:29never smile.
31:32You two
31:33always look
31:33like this.
31:37pretty accurate.
31:39Neither
31:39one of you
31:40knows how
31:40to smile.
31:43Is that
31:44funny?
31:46Very.
31:50Come on,
31:51Dad.
31:52I want to
31:52have dinner
31:53with you.
31:54Mom,
31:54you too.
31:56All right.
31:57You win.
31:59And Leo,
31:59all four of
32:00us.
32:02Adrian!
32:06Adrian!
32:07You're
32:07finally
32:08back!
32:10Adrian!
32:14You're
32:15finally
32:15back.
32:16If you'd
32:17stayed away
32:17any longer,
32:18this whole
32:18family would
32:19have fallen
32:19apart.
32:20What
32:21happened?
32:21Her!
32:22She's only
32:23been here
32:24three months,
32:24and she's
32:25turned this
32:25whole place
32:26upside down.
32:27She
32:27disrespected
32:28mom,
32:28drank in
32:29the family
32:29chapel,
32:30humiliated me
32:31in front of
32:31everyone,
32:32changed the
32:33estate rules
32:33without permission,
32:34and set off
32:35the alarm at
32:35four in the
32:36morning,
32:36waking everyone
32:37up.
32:37Now the
32:38staff takes
32:39orders from
32:39her,
32:39and so do
32:40the guards.
32:41She doesn't
32:42give a damn
32:42what mom or
32:43I say anymore.
32:44That's not
32:45true.
32:46Everything's
32:46been better
32:47since mom
32:47got here.
32:49Mom didn't
32:49do anything
32:50wrong.
32:51Adrian,
32:52look at what
32:53she's turned
32:53these kids
32:54into.
32:54They never
32:55used to
32:55talk to me
32:55like this.
32:56Because you
32:57keep saying
32:57bad things
32:58about mom.
32:59Sophia!
33:00She didn't
33:01teach us
33:01to be
33:02bad.
33:04I heard
33:05what happened
33:05at school.
33:06Leo hurt
33:07another kid
33:07so badly
33:08they had
33:08to call
33:08the parents
33:08in.
33:09When has
33:09anything like
33:10that ever
33:10happened
33:10before?
33:11Aurora's
33:11the one
33:12teaching him
33:12to act
33:12like this.
33:13Mom.
33:14And Marco,
33:15he always
33:15your favorite.
33:16Uncle Adrian,
33:18it was her.
33:19She locked
33:20me out on
33:20the terrace
33:21all night.
33:21All night?
33:23She left
33:24Marco out
33:24there by
33:25herself,
33:25and you're
33:25just gonna
33:26let that
33:26slide?
33:27That woman
33:27has no
33:28business being
33:28Mrs. DiMardo.
33:29If you
33:30let her
33:30stay here,
33:31sooner or
33:31later she's
33:31gonna tear
33:31this family
33:32apart.
33:32You need
33:33to divorce
33:33her and
33:33get her
33:33out of
33:34this house.
33:38Is all
33:39of that
33:39true?
33:41She's not
33:41wrong.
33:44I did
33:44all of it.
33:47Adrian,
33:48you heard
33:48her.
33:48She admitted
33:49it herself.
33:51She disrespected
33:51mom, humiliated
33:53me in front
33:53of everyone,
33:54and locked
33:54Marco out
33:55out on the
33:55terrace all
33:56night.
33:56And now
33:57she won't
33:57even apologize.
33:58Just look
33:59at her.
33:59She doesn't
34:00regret a
34:00thing.
34:01Dad.
34:03No one's
34:04getting her
34:04out of this
34:05one.
34:06Adrian,
34:07after everything
34:08she's done,
34:08you have to
34:09make her pay.
34:11Elena,
34:13you know
34:14exactly why
34:15I locked Marco
34:16out on the
34:16terrace.
34:19Or do you
34:20really want me
34:20to tell Adrian
34:21exactly what
34:22Leo and Sophia
34:23went through
34:24during the
34:24three months
34:25he was gone?
34:28What does
34:29that mean?
34:30Ask them.
34:32Leo.
34:36Adrian,
34:37don't listen
34:38to her.
34:39Leo's just
34:39a child.
34:41I wasn't
34:42asking you.
34:45Leo,
34:47look at me.
34:50Did you
34:50forget what
34:51we talked
34:51about today?
34:53After you
34:53left,
34:55Aunt Elena
34:55made us move
34:56out of our
34:56rooms.
34:57Sophia and
34:58I had to
34:58stay in
34:59the staff
34:59quarters.
35:01Sometimes
35:01the kitchen
35:02wouldn't save
35:02any food
35:03for us.
35:04And when
35:04our clothes
35:05got worn
35:05out,
35:06no one
35:06would replace
35:06them.
35:08Sophia
35:09would cry
35:09at night
35:09because she
35:10was hungry.
35:11Leo,
35:11that's enough!
35:13Let him
35:13speak.
35:14Marco
35:15bullied us
35:15all the time.
35:16Sometimes
35:17he'd lock
35:17me in the
35:18basement
35:18and burn
35:19me with
35:19cigarette
35:19bucks.
35:20Leo,
35:21you can't
35:21just make
35:22things up!
35:24I'm not
35:25lying.
35:29This is
35:30proof.
35:32Adrian,
35:33he's lying.
35:37Sweetheart,
35:39is Leo
35:40telling the
35:40truth?
35:41It's true,
35:42but after
35:43Mom came,
35:44Aunt Elena
35:44and Marco
35:45stopped
35:45messing with
35:46us.
35:52Adrian,
35:52you can't
35:53seriously
35:53take a
35:54child's
35:54word over
35:54mine?
35:57I'm your
35:58sister.
35:58I've looked
35:59after this
35:59family for
36:00years.
36:01Why would
36:01I ever
36:01hurt those
36:02kids on
36:02purpose?
36:07I sent
36:08money home
36:09every month.
36:10I called
36:11every week.
36:12every time I
36:13asked how
36:13the kids
36:14were doing,
36:14you told
36:14me they
36:15were fine.
36:17Three
36:17million dollars,
36:19Alina.
36:20Did you really
36:20think I wouldn't
36:21check where the
36:21money went?
36:24Adrian,
36:25I...
36:26You know
36:26exactly where
36:27that money
36:27went.
36:28I only used
36:29part of it.
36:29I can explain.
36:31There were
36:31expenses for the
36:32house, for
36:32Marco, for
36:33me...
36:33enough.
36:35Three
36:35million dollars.
36:37And yet
36:37Leo and
36:38Sophia were
36:38sleeping in
36:38the staff
36:39quarters,
36:39going hungry
36:40with no one
36:40even bothering
36:41to replace
36:41their worn
36:42out clothes.
36:43My wife
36:43didn't kill
36:44you.
36:45She showed
36:45you mercy.
36:52Adrian, I
36:52was wrong.
36:53It was all
36:53my fault.
36:54Just give me
36:55one more chance.
36:55I'll change.
36:56I'll do
36:56whatever you
36:56want.
36:57I'll take
36:57good care of
36:58Leo and
36:58Sophia from
36:58now on, and
36:59I won't let
36:59Marco bully
37:00them again.
37:00I swear!
37:02You're not
37:02sorry.
37:04You're just
37:05scared.
37:06Aurora, I
37:07already
37:07apologized.
37:08What more
37:08do you want
37:08from me?
37:09You
37:10apologized.
37:11Does that
37:11make Leo's
37:12scars go
37:13away?
37:13Or does
37:14that erase
37:15all the
37:15nights Sophia
37:16went hungry
37:16and everything
37:17you put her
37:18through?
37:21Adrian, I'm
37:22your sister.
37:24You have
37:25until sunrise.
37:26Pack your
37:27things, take
37:28Marco and
37:28leave.
37:29What?
37:30If I see
37:31you here after
37:32sunrise,
37:39I won't
37:40say it
37:40twice.
37:41Adrian,
37:43this is
37:43my home
37:44too.
37:45You're
37:45really going
37:46to throw
37:46me out
37:47for a
37:47woman who's
37:47only been
37:48here three
37:48months?
37:54Adrian!
37:59We need to
38:00talk.
38:02All right.
38:11About what?
38:14On our
38:15wedding day,
38:15I left you
38:16alone.
38:17I gave you
38:18nothing, left
38:19you with this
38:19house and two
38:20kids and you
38:20still managed to
38:21hold this family
38:22together.
38:22Someone had
38:23too.
38:23Aurora.
38:25Hmm.
38:27What do you
38:27want?
38:30What?
38:33What?
38:34You stood up
38:35for Leo,
38:36bought Sophia
38:37new clothes,
38:38and put this
38:39whole family
38:39back together.
38:40What's your
38:41price?
38:41You think I
38:42did all of
38:43this just to
38:43get money
38:43from you?
38:44Then what do
38:45you want?
38:47I want a
38:48husband who
38:48actually shows
38:49up.
38:50A husband who
38:50won't leave me
38:51and those two
38:52kids here
38:52unprotected while
38:54other people walk
38:55all over us.
38:56If you can't do
38:57that, then stay
38:58out of my way.
38:59I will.
39:01Adrian, let me
39:01remind you of
39:02one thing.
39:03I'm not saint.
39:05Everyone says
39:06I'm wicked, that
39:07I'm some kind
39:08of monster.
39:09You're not
39:09afraid of me?
39:10Why would I
39:10be?
39:11I knew exactly
39:12what kind of
39:13woman you were
39:13when I chose
39:14you.
39:16And I liked
39:17what I saw.
39:19I saw you
39:20once, three
39:21years ago.
39:22Three years
39:23ago?
39:23You had an
39:24argument with
39:25your stepmother.
39:26You won, then
39:27went out and
39:27bought yourself
39:28dinner.
39:29As long as
39:30I'm in this
39:31house, you
39:32don't get to
39:33do whatever
39:33you want.
39:37Then you'd
39:37better live a
39:38long time.
39:54that's
39:55nothing new.
39:56But I saw
39:57more than
39:57that.
40:00I also saw
40:02you slip away
40:02where no one
40:03could see you
40:05and wipe away
40:06your tears.
40:14And I saw
40:15you give
40:15your coat
40:16to a homeless
40:17kid you'd
40:17never even
40:18met.
40:22Everyone says
40:23you're cruel,
40:23but I never
40:24wanted a gentle,
40:26obedient wife.
40:28I wanted
40:28someone tough
40:29enough to
40:29protect my
40:30children,
40:31just like no
40:31one ever
40:32protected you.
40:36So you're
40:37using me.
40:39Don't you
40:40need me too?
40:44You're
40:44right.
40:45I do need
40:46you.
40:47I need the
40:47name Adrian
40:48DePaulo,
40:49and I need
40:49the power
40:50that comes
40:50with it.
40:52You walk
40:53into any
40:53room,
40:54and everyone
40:55shuts up.
40:56One word
40:57from you can
40:57drive an
40:57entire family
40:58out of this
40:59city.
41:00I don't have
41:00that kind
41:01of power.
41:02I can
41:03hold this
41:03family together
41:04and protect
41:04your children.
41:06But you
41:06need to do
41:07your part
41:07as my
41:07husband.
41:10Like what?
41:12I want
41:13the same
41:13standing in
41:13the city
41:14that you
41:14have.
41:15When you
41:15walk in,
41:16people step
41:16aside.
41:17When I
41:17walk in,
41:18they do
41:18the same.
41:20I don't
41:20want them
41:21calling me
41:21Mrs.
41:21DeMano
41:22just for
41:22show.
41:23I want
41:23their respect,
41:24their
41:24obedience.
41:25I want
41:26them to
41:26know that
41:27crossing me
41:27has the
41:27same
41:28consequences
41:28as
41:28crossing
41:29you.
41:30You
41:30want my
41:31power?
41:32No.
41:34I want
41:34my own.
41:36All right.
41:38You have
41:38my word.
41:42Then here's
41:43to a
41:43successful
41:43partnership,
41:44Adrian.
41:47To a
41:48successful
41:48partnership,
41:49Aurora.
41:53Starting
41:54today,
41:55Aurora and I
41:56have equal
41:56authority in
41:57this family.
41:59she has
42:00the final
42:00say on
42:01all
42:01DeMarco
42:01family
42:02matters.
42:03Her
42:03orders are
42:03my
42:04orders.
42:04She needs
42:05no one's
42:05permission.
42:08Understood,
42:08Mrs.
42:09DeMarco.
42:13That was
42:14fast.
42:15I gave
42:15you my
42:16word.
42:18I won't
42:19allow it.
42:22Adrian,
42:23what are you
42:23thinking?
42:23How can you
42:24just hand
42:24DeMarco
42:25family's
42:25authority over
42:26to an
42:26outsider?
42:27She's not
42:27an outsider.
42:28She's my
42:29wife.
42:29So what if
42:30she's your
42:30wife?
42:30She's only
42:31been here
42:31three months
42:32and you're
42:32already giving
42:32her the same
42:33authority you
42:34have.
42:34She's got you
42:35so blinded
42:35you've forgotten
42:35who you are.
42:36I didn't
42:37realize I had
42:37that much
42:37influence.
42:38You stay
42:38out of this.
42:39I'm talking
42:39to Adrian.
42:40You're trying
42:40to take away
42:41my authority.
42:42I'd say that
42:43gives me every
42:43right to speak.
42:44She's right.
42:47Fine.
42:48You want to
42:49defend her,
42:49we'll come
42:49back to that.
42:50But you threw
42:50Elena out of
42:51this estate for
42:52her.
42:52How do you
42:52explain that?
42:53Mom, please.
42:54I was wrong.
42:55Adrian has
42:55every right to
42:56be angry with
42:56me.
42:56And you're
42:57still defending
42:57him.
42:58Elena is a
42:59DeMarco too.
42:59She's your
43:00sister.
43:00She's looked
43:01after this
43:01family for
43:02years and now
43:02that Aurora's
43:03your wife,
43:03you're throwing
43:03Elena and
43:04Marco out?
43:05Adrian, I
43:05really am
43:06sorry.
43:06What I did
43:06was wrong.
43:07I'll change.
43:07I don't want
43:07anything.
43:08I just want
43:08to come home
43:08with Marco.
43:09We've lived
43:10here for years.
43:11This is our
43:11home too.
43:12Grandma, I
43:13want to go
43:13home.
43:14Let me make
43:15myself clear.
43:16I will never
43:17agree to
43:17putting the
43:17DeMarco
43:18family's
43:18authority in
43:19that woman's
43:19hands.
43:20And Elena
43:21and Marco
43:21are moving
43:22back into
43:22this estate.
43:23No.
43:24What did
43:25you say?
43:27Elena will
43:27never live
43:28in this
43:28estate again.
43:29Adrian, she's
43:30a DeMarco
43:31too.
43:31She has the
43:32same blood
43:32running through
43:33her veins.
43:33The only
43:34reason she
43:34walked out
43:35of this
43:35estate alive
43:36is because
43:36she's my
43:37sister.
43:37You're
43:38really turning
43:38your back
43:39on your
43:39own family
43:40for Aurora?
43:41Elena was
43:41the one
43:42who hurt
43:42my family
43:42first.
43:44I don't
43:45care what
43:45happened before.
43:46I am the
43:47elder of
43:47this family
43:48and this
43:48will be
43:48handled my
43:49way.
43:50What gives
43:50you the
43:51right?
43:51What gives
43:52you the
43:52right?
43:53Adrian, don't
43:54forget, I'm
43:55your mother.
43:56Then don't
43:57you forget,
43:59you're only
43:59my stepmother.
44:03After your
44:03father died,
44:04who kept
44:05this family
44:05together?
44:06Who watched
44:07you rise to
44:08the position
44:08you're in
44:08today?
44:09And now
44:10you're speaking
44:10to me like
44:11this over a
44:11woman you've
44:12only been
44:12married to for
44:13a few months?
44:14Don't make
44:14yourself out to
44:14be some saint.
44:15I've never
44:15forgotten
44:16what you've
44:16done.
44:17You.
44:20Alina hurt
44:21Leo and
44:21Sophia, and
44:22now you think
44:22you can just
44:23say let her
44:23move back in
44:24and make all
44:24of that
44:24disappear?
44:25Not happening.
44:27Adrian, I
44:27already apologized.
44:29If apologies
44:30fixed everything,
44:31the prisons
44:31would be empty.
44:33This isn't
44:33your place.
44:36That's not
44:37for you to
44:37decide.
44:40Enough.
44:43You really think
44:44one word
44:44from Adrian
44:45makes you
44:46his equal?
44:47From where
44:47I'm standing?
44:49Yes.
44:50The DeMarco
44:50family is bigger
44:51than this estate,
44:52and Adrian
44:52isn't the only
44:53one with a say.
44:54There are uncles,
44:55extended families,
44:56and people who've
44:56stood with the
44:57DeMarco's for decades.
44:58Adrian may recognize
44:59your authority.
45:00That doesn't mean
45:01they will.
45:02Then bring them
45:03all here.
45:04Anyone who thinks
45:05I don't belong,
45:06anyone who wants
45:07my authority taken away,
45:08can sit at the table
45:09and say it to my face.
45:11Fine.
45:12If you're both
45:13so confident,
45:13then call a family
45:14council.
45:15Bring back every
45:16DeMarco with a seat
45:17at the main table.
45:18Then the whole family
45:19can decide whether
45:20this woman has any
45:20right to wield
45:21that kind of power.
45:23All right.
45:24Seven days.
45:25The DeMarco
45:26family council dinner.
45:27Adrian,
45:28you'll regret this.
45:30I'm not the one
45:31who regret this.
45:33Seven days.
45:36That should be
45:36plenty of time
45:37to round up
45:38everyone who has
45:39a problem
45:39with me.
45:40I'll be waiting.
45:51Aurora.
45:53What is it?
45:56This is for you.
46:01Is this
46:02my mother's necklace?
46:05It disappeared
46:06after she died.
46:07After your mother died,
46:08the Vitele family sold it.
46:10Three months ago,
46:10I bought it back
46:11from a private collector.
46:13A wedding gift.
46:14Three months late.
46:15I hope you like it.
46:19One more thing.
46:20Tomorrow,
46:20the head of finance
46:21will bring the DeMarco
46:22accounts from the past
46:22few years to the study.
46:24Tomorrow?
46:25That fast?
46:26Didn't you say
46:26you wanted power
46:27of your own?
46:27Starting tomorrow,
46:28you'll be in charge
46:29of the family's finances too.
46:30Good.
46:32Ma'am,
46:33these are the family's
46:33financial records
46:34from the past few years.
46:37Alina was thrown out
46:38and she still has access
46:39to the DeMarco family accounts?
46:40Yes.
46:41She's always had access
46:42to the family accounts.
46:44Cut her off.
46:46All of them?
46:47All of them.
46:47But she's still family.
46:49Did you forget
46:49what Adrian said yesterday?
46:52Yes, ma'am.
46:53And pull every personal expense
46:55from the last three years.
46:56I want to see all of it.
46:57In seven days,
46:59they're coming to decide
46:59whether I'm qualified
47:00to run DeMarco family,
47:01aren't they?
47:03Then I should see
47:04whether they're qualified
47:04to question me.
47:08I'm sorry, ma'am.
47:09This card was declined.
47:11What?
47:13Try this one.
47:17This one's declined too.
47:19Run it again.
47:23Still declined.
47:25How is that possible?
47:29Hello?
47:30Mrs. DeMarco,
47:31I'm calling to let you know
47:32that, effective today,
47:33your access to all
47:34DeMarco family accounts
47:35has been revoked.
47:37Who told you to do that?
47:39Mrs. DeMarco.
47:41Hello?
47:42Hello?
47:45Aurora.
47:49She only got that power yesterday,
47:51and today she cut off
47:52every one of my accounts.
47:54Now she's digging through
47:55three years of records.
47:56She's only been married
47:58into this family
47:58for three months,
47:59and she already thinks
48:00she has the right
48:01to go through
48:01DeMarco family accounts?
48:04Today it's Elena.
48:05Tomorrow it'll be us?
48:07Finance has already started
48:08pulling the personal expenses
48:09for every branch.
48:11I told you from the beginning,
48:13she wants a lot more
48:14than the title
48:14of Mrs. DeMarco.
48:16She can run the estate,
48:17but family power
48:19is off limits.
48:19At the family council
48:20in seven days,
48:21I'm voting against her.
48:23So am I.
48:24Against.
48:25I won't take orders
48:27from a Vitari.
48:27She has no right
48:28to make decide
48:29for the DeMonto business.
48:30Five out of seven branches
48:31are against her.
48:33When the time comes,
48:34Adrian will have to choose.
48:36Aurora or the DeMarco family.
48:38Then we'll see
48:39what he chooses
48:40in seven days.
48:43Sir, we just got word.
48:45Five of the seven family branches
48:47have signed a formal statement
48:48opposing her authority.
48:51Five.
48:51Antony and Catherine
48:52are both on it.
48:53They're planning to demand
48:54that Mrs. DeMarco's authority
48:55be revoked
48:56at the family council.
48:57The DeMarcos
48:58have kept them comfortable
48:59for years.
49:00They've had it easy
49:01for so long
49:01they've forgotten
49:02who put them where they are.
49:03Do you want me
49:04to deal with it beforehand?
49:06One word from you
49:07and at least a few of them
49:08won't dare show up
49:09at that dinner.
49:10No.
49:11Sir, they're clearly
49:13coming after your wife.
49:14I know.
49:15But Aurora wants
49:16power of her own.
49:18Not power that comes
49:19from me silencing
49:20everyone for her.
49:21Understood.
49:22What about what
49:23I asked you to prepare?
49:25It's ready.
49:26The lawyers have
49:27confirmed everything.
49:28You can use it
49:28whenever you're ready.
49:30Good.
49:31In seven days
49:32I'll remind them
49:33exactly how I became
49:35the Don.
49:45Dad, good night.
49:48What are you two
49:49doing in here?
49:50I want to sleep
49:51with mom tonight.
49:52When you weren't here
49:53we slept with mom
49:54all the time.
49:56What?
49:57Got a problem with it?
50:03Dad, what are you doing?
50:05You're old enough now.
50:07It's time you learn
50:07to sleep on your own.
50:09But mom tells me
50:10bedtime stories
50:11every night.
50:15I'll tell you two
50:16tonight.
50:18But I want mom
50:19to tell them.
50:21No you don't.
50:31The kids are asleep.
50:34Now I think I deserve
50:35a little attention
50:35from my wife.
50:41Some attention
50:42from your wife?
50:43Mm-hmm.
50:44Who said you
50:45were getting any?
50:46That's why I'm waiting
50:47for you to say yes.
50:48Adrian, you've been
50:49getting bolder lately.
50:51You can say no.
50:52And what if I don't?
50:55Do I really have
50:55to teach you?
50:59Adrian!
51:01It's not too late
51:02to change your mind.
51:03You'd better not
51:04make me regret this.
51:18Aurora.
51:20Don't talk.
51:26Ma'am,
51:27these are the remaining
51:28records of personal expense.
51:32$120,000
51:33for private yacht
51:34repairs?
51:35It's from
51:36Antony's branch.
51:38A family expense?
51:40A private trip.
51:45Aurora!
51:46Perfect timing.
51:48When are you paying
51:49back the $120,000?
51:53A yacht owned
51:54by the DeMarco family.
51:56And just because
51:57I used it for a few days,
51:58you expect me to pay back
51:59the full $120,000?
52:01The yacht belongs to the family.
52:02Your private vacation doesn't.
52:04The records make it very clear
52:05that trip had nothing
52:06to do with family business,
52:07so of course the bill is yours.
52:09Adrian has run this family
52:11for years,
52:11and he's never come after me
52:13over something like this.
52:14Those were his rules.
52:15I run the finances now,
52:17I run the finances now,
52:17and my rule is simple.
52:18We don't use DeMarco money
52:20to pay for anyone's
52:21personal expense.
52:23Don't forget,
52:24the family council
52:24is only a few days away.
52:26Making an enemy of me
52:27right now won't do you
52:28any favors.
52:29You've already signed
52:30that statement
52:30opposing my authority.
52:32Even if I paid that
52:33$120,000 for you today,
52:35you still wouldn't
52:36suddenly start supporting me.
52:37If your vote can't be bought,
52:38why would I waste money trying?
52:44Aurora,
52:44you'd better think this through.
52:46I'm not the only person
52:47you're making an enemy of.
52:49Then tell them to bring
52:50their financial records too.
52:53You have 72 hours
52:54to put the money back.
52:56Otherwise,
52:56at the family council,
52:58I'll put three years
52:58of records on that table
52:59and let everyone see
53:01who really has no business
53:02managing DeMarco money.
53:03Do as she says.
53:07Adrian,
53:08I'm your uncle.
53:09Exactly.
53:09That's why I'm only asking
53:10you to pay it back.
53:14When I was little,
53:15I loved watching my mother
53:16wear this necklace.
53:18Put it on for me.
53:32I never thought
53:33I'd have it back one day.
53:35Anything your mother
53:36left behind
53:36should have been yours.
53:42Well?
53:45Beautiful.
53:47Five branches
53:48have signed against me.
53:50Tomorrow night,
53:51that whole table
53:51is probably waiting
53:52to watch me
53:53lose my authority.
53:55Then they're going
53:56to be disappointed.
53:59You sound pretty confident.
54:01I've always believed in you.
54:10The money's been paid back.
54:12Finance already told me.
54:14Don't get too comfortable.
54:16After tonight,
54:17you may not even have
54:18the authority
54:18to look at those accounts anymore.
54:21Then you should be grateful
54:22you paid it back yesterday.
54:24Otherwise...
54:24I would have started
54:25with you tonight.
54:35Your first Decamon family council,
54:37and you don't look nervous at all.
54:39Why should I be nervous?
54:41You're the ones
54:42trying to get rid of me.
54:43You're also the ones
54:43who have to figure out
54:44how to convince Adrienne.
54:45The family council
54:46isn't the same
54:47as running the estate.
54:48The people at that table
54:50won't go easy on you
54:51just because you're
54:51Adrienne's wife.
54:52Good.
54:53It gets boring
54:54when no one argues back.
55:00Everyone's here.
55:00Let's go in.
55:02That seat should be reserved
55:03for someone with more
55:04seniority in this family.
55:10I'm sorry.
55:11I'm sorry.
55:12I'm sorry.
55:12I'm sorry.
55:13I'm sorry.
55:13I'm sorry.
55:14I'm sorry.
55:14I'm sorry.
55:15Do you really think
55:16she runs this house?
55:21Aurora, come here.
55:24Here.
55:32Now that everyone's here,
55:33say everything
55:34you came to say tonight.
55:40Then let me make this clear.
55:41Aurora has only been married
55:43into the DeMarco family
55:44for three months.
55:45Yet she's already
55:46freezing family accounts,
55:47going through the branch's
55:48financial records
55:49and interfering in family affairs.
55:50She was given too much power
55:52too quickly.
55:53Today she can force me
55:54to repay $120,000.
55:55Tomorrow she can freeze
55:56any branch's funds
55:57just because they don't
55:58follow her rules.
55:59If the entire DeMarco family
56:01has to answer to her,
56:02what are the rest of us
56:03even here for?
56:04We don't interfere
56:05with who Adrienne marries.
56:07But being his wife
56:08and holding power
56:09over this family
56:10are two different things.
56:11She hasn't been through
56:12what this family
56:13has been through
56:14and she has no right
56:15to walk in
56:16and put herself
56:16above everyone else.
56:18I oppose her continuing
56:20to hold authority
56:21over family affairs.
56:22So do I.
56:23Five of the seven branches
56:24have signed.
56:25Aurora,
56:26you said anyone
56:27who opposed you
56:27should say it to your face.
56:29Well, everyone's here now.
56:30You've heard them.
56:32I heard them.
56:34At least after tonight,
56:35I won't have to wonder
56:36who's spending DeMarco money
56:37while thinking they're
56:38above the family's rules.
56:39You still think
56:40you're going to keep
56:41that seat after tonight?
56:43Whether I sit here
56:44has never been your decision.
56:45Adrienne,
56:46five branches have made
56:47their position clear.
56:49Aurora can remain your wife,
56:51but the authority
56:51you've given her
56:52over this family
56:53must be taken back tonight.
56:57You've been talking
56:58this whole time
56:59as if one thing
57:00were already decided.
57:01What?
57:02That this meeting
57:03was called
57:03so you could vote
57:04on whether Aurora
57:05gets to stay.
57:12I never said that.
57:22What is that?
57:24Seven days ago,
57:25you demanded
57:25a family council.
57:26I had something
57:27I wanted every one
57:28of you here to witness.
57:32Adrian,
57:33what have you done?
57:34The lawyers have finalized
57:36the changes
57:36to the DeMarco family trust.
57:38Starting tonight,
57:39Aurora will manage
57:40the family trust
57:41alongside me.
57:43You're handing
57:44the family trust
57:45over to her?
57:46I'm not handing
57:47it over to her.
57:48She'll manage it with me.
57:50From family assets
57:51and major investments
57:52to every matter
57:53requiring trust approval,
57:54she will have the same
57:55final signing authority
57:56I do.
57:57Five branches
57:58are against her
57:58and you're giving her
57:59even more power?
58:02You still don't understand.
58:08I didn't bring you
58:09here tonight
58:09to ask for your opinion.
58:10I brought you here
58:11to inform you.
58:21Now,
58:22does anyone still object?
58:30sign it,
58:31Mrs. DeMarco.
58:33Oh, my God.
