FunTranscript
00:02My husband had spent six months fighting a rival family for territory along the Gulf Coast.
00:07When he came home, a heavily pregnant young woman was at his side.
00:10I asked him over and over,
00:12Is the baby yours?
00:14He dropped to his knees at my feet in front of the entire family.
00:16But all he said was,
00:18I'm sorry, I can't tell you.
00:20After six months of family war, my husband, Rafe DeLuca, finally came home alive.
00:25Twelve black sedans rolled into the estate one after another.
00:28I stood on the steps of the main house with Sam in my arms.
00:31A car door opened, Rafe stepped out, helping a young woman whose belly was already showing.
00:36My expression hardened all around me.
00:39The wives of the capos who had come to welcome the Don home broke into shocked whispers.
00:43The moment Rafe saw me, his gaze flickered away.
00:46Nora, let me explain.
00:48I gave a cold laugh, turned around, and walked away.
00:51Sam looked at his father, then at the woman beside him.
00:54Mommy, who's that lady next to Daddy?
00:56You don't have a daddy. Your daddy's dead.
00:58A commotion broke out behind me.
01:00Rafe hurried after us, his dress shoes striking sharply against the pavement.
01:04He cut in front of me and, in full view of every capo,
01:07every capo's wife and every soldier in the family, dropped straight to his knees.
01:12Nora, let me explain.
01:14I shifted Sam to my other arm and looked down at Rafe.
01:17We hadn't seen each other in six months.
01:19I never imagined this was how we'd meet again.
01:22Go ahead. I'm listening.
01:24The young woman came over, too.
01:25She stopped beside Rafe, both hands protectively cupping her stomach.
01:30Donna, my name is Lily. Lily Carter.
01:32The Caruso family attacked the town where I live.
01:35My whole family was killed.
01:37Don DeLucco got me out of a safe house.
01:39Whose baby is it?
01:41Lily lowered her head and said nothing.
01:43I turned back to Rafe.
01:44He knelt there with his head bowed and his hands braced on his knees,
01:47as if someone had ripped the spine out of him.
01:49I asked you whose baby it is.
01:53Don't ask. I really can't tell you.
01:55A gasp suddenly came from the crowd.
01:56Bianca DeLuca, Rafe's mother, raised her voice.
02:00Her belly's already that big.
02:01Do you really have to ask? Isn't it obvious?
02:04Sounding almost excited, I crouched down with Sam in my arms.
02:08Rafe, I'm only going to ask you three things.
02:12Rafe's Adam's apple bobbed.
02:14First, is the baby yours?
02:19Second, what exactly happened between you and her on the Gulf Coast?
02:24Third, before you brought her home,
02:26did you ever think about how you were going to tell me?
02:29I did. I just never figured out how to say it.
02:32I laughed once, then I stood and hitched Sam higher in my arms.
02:35Sam wrapped both little arms around my neck
02:38and buried his face against my shoulder.
02:40I stepped around Rafe, still kneeling on the ground,
02:42and headed for the main house.
02:44Bianca spoke to the Capo's wives beside her,
02:46not quite loudly enough to be called shouting,
02:49but more than loudly enough for me to hear.
02:52Who does she think she is acting like that?
02:54What? My son spent six months fighting enemies out there.
02:59So what if you brought a woman home?
03:01Adana can't afford to be this jealous!
03:03My steps paused.
03:04I didn't look back until I had reached the top of the stairs.
03:07Rafe was still kneeling where I'd left him,
03:09his knees seemingly nailed to the ground.
03:12Lily was still there too, looking down at him.
03:14Get up. You're the Don.
03:17How can you kneel to that woman?
03:19She's not worth it.
03:20I carried Sam into the main house.
03:22He leaned close to my ear and whispered,
03:24Mommy, why won't Daddy get up?
03:27Because Mommy hasn't told him he can.
03:28Oh, who's that lady?
03:31I kicked the bedroom door open,
03:32set Sam down, then crouched so we were eye to eye.
03:35Your father brought her back with him.
03:37Starting today, she's living here with us.
03:39Then whose baby is in her tummy?
03:41Good question, kid.
03:43Mommy would like to know too.
03:45That afternoon, Vincent Marino
03:46personally delivered the paperwork for Lily's stay.
03:49Vincent was the DeLuca family's consigliere.
03:52The paperwork stated that Lily
03:53was under the Don's personal protection
03:55and would stay temporarily at the estate.
03:57Without the Don's permission,
04:00no one was allowed to look into her background.
04:02The paperwork had barely landed on my desk
04:04when Bianca arrived with several Capos' wives.
04:07They didn't even knock before coming upstairs.
04:10Bianca pushed open the door to Sam's room
04:12and walked around inside.
04:15This room is perfect.
04:16It's bright and airy,
04:18just what a pregnant woman needs.
04:19I pulled Sam to my side
04:21and leaned against the doorframe, watching her.
04:24Mrs. DeLuca, this is Sam's room.
04:29So move the boy somewhere else.
04:30What's the big deal?
04:31She's pregnant.
04:32Is it really so much to ask
04:33that he give up a room for her?
04:35Before I could answer,
04:36a voice came from behind me.
04:38Lily stood in the hallway
04:39holding a canvas duffel bag.
04:41Ma'am, I can stay anywhere.
04:42Please don't make things difficult for the Donna.
04:45All I need is a bed.
04:47Bianca grabbed Lily's hand
04:49and pulled her to her side.
04:50The way she did it,
04:51anyone would have thought
04:52she was protecting her own daughter.
04:56What are you scared of?
04:57I'm here.
04:59Rafe brought you home.
05:00You think the DeLuca family
05:01is going to leave you sleeping in the street?
05:03The other women nodded along.
05:05One Capo's wife even tried to lecture me.
05:08Nora, you're the Donna.
05:10You need to be more generous.
05:12Since you're so generous,
05:13why don't you take Lily home with you?
05:15She shut her mouth.
05:17That night,
05:18the estate held a welcome home dinner.
05:20Rafe came over carrying three plates
05:22and carefully set them
05:23in front of Sam and me.
05:25I sat down with Sam.
05:26I had barely picked up my fork
05:28when Lily approached with her own plate.
05:29She didn't dare sit beside me.
05:31She just stood across the table,
05:33looking at me expectantly.
05:34Sam glanced at her,
05:35then at me and tugged lightly on my sleeve.
05:38I looked up at her but said nothing.
05:40Only then did she sit,
05:41stiff and awkward,
05:42keeping her head down
05:43as she ate in silence.
05:44Bianca came over with her plate.
05:46She dropped into the seat next to Lily
05:48and placed a large piece of stewed meat
05:49on Lily's plate.
05:51Eat more.
05:52You're eating for two now.
05:54My fork paused.
05:55Rafe sat across from me,
05:56watching me cautiously.
05:58I ignored him and kept cutting Sam's meat.
06:00Bianca smiled at Lily again.
06:02Rafe was a big, strong boy
06:04even when he was little.
06:05This baby will probably take after him too.
06:07I finished my meal calmly
06:09and set my napkin on the table.
06:11As I passed Rafe,
06:12I tossed out one word.
06:15Outside.
06:17There was a stretch of stone wall
06:19behind the estate's private chapel.
06:21I shoved him back against it.
06:23Is the baby yours or not?
06:25Rafe leaned against the wall
06:26with his head down,
06:27refusing to meet my eyes.
06:28After a long silence,
06:29he said,
06:30Give me a little more time.
06:31How much time?
06:32Didn't you see how your mother
06:33moked me today?
06:34Are you deaf or are you blind?
06:36If Lily is your mistress,
06:38then say it to my face.
06:39I'll step aside
06:40and let you have each other.
06:42He went silent again.
06:43I turned and walked away.
06:44Early the next morning,
06:45I went to the soldiers
06:47who had returned from the fighting
06:48with Rafe
06:48and asked about Lily.
06:50One soldier's expression
06:51changed instantly.
06:53Donna, don't ask.
06:54The Don gave a direct order.
06:55Please don't push a pregnant woman
06:57into a corner.
06:57With that, they turned and left.
06:59I stood in the garden,
07:00the sun beating down so fiercely
07:02that my scalp prickled from the heat.
07:04Then someone called my name from behind.
07:06Donna.
07:07I turned and saw Gabriel,
07:08one of Rafe's most trusted men.
07:13Gabriel pulled me into the shade
07:14and lowered his voice.
07:15Donna, the day Lily arrived in New Orleans,
07:18the first place she went
07:20was the Don's office.
07:21When we came out of the meeting room later,
07:23she was already sitting in the Don's car.
07:25You know the Don isn't that kind of man.
07:27Just give him a little more time.
07:28Please don't assume the worst.
07:29I looked at him without saying anything.
07:31He seemed to realize
07:31there was no reasonable way
07:33not to assume the worst.
07:34He gave me an awkward smile and left.
07:36Back in my room,
07:37I opened the safe
07:38and pulled out the letters Rafe
07:40had sent me from the Gulf Coast
07:41over the past six months.
07:43There were eight in total.
07:44The first three were completely normal.
07:47Starting with the fourth,
07:48his tone changed.
07:49Looking back now,
07:50that must have been
07:51when something happened.
07:52Sam ran in
07:53and leaned against my knees,
07:55tipping his face up at me.
07:56Mommy, what are you reading?
07:59Some old debts.
08:00Within days,
08:02people in the family
08:02had started calling me
08:03a jealous bitch behind my back.
08:05One afternoon,
08:06I passed the storage room
08:07behind the chapel.
08:08Several Capo's wives
08:09were inside sorting donations
08:10for a charity sale,
08:12talking animatedly.
08:13The Don spent six months
08:15fighting a war.
08:16So what if he has a mistress?
08:17Who does she think she is?
08:19Glaring at everyone all day?
08:21That poor girl is pregnant
08:23and has already been through enough.
08:25And Nora acts like
08:26she wants to throw her out
08:27on the street.
08:28I pushed the door open.
08:29The room went silent instantly.
08:31The three women
08:32each grabbed a box
08:33and hurried out.
08:34Lily, on the other hand,
08:36kept her head down
08:37and stayed out of trouble.
08:38She helped with whatever work
08:39she could around the estate.
08:41Whenever she saw me
08:42walking past with Sam,
08:43she lowered her head
08:44and called me Donna,
08:46always careful and respectful.
08:48Several of the older women
08:49at the estate praised her
08:50for being so well-mannered
08:52and spoke about her
08:53with obvious affection.
08:54Once, Bianca took Lily's hand
08:56right in front of me
08:57and said,
08:57Good girl, don't be afraid.
09:00No one here is going to bully you.
09:01I tried asking Lily
09:02directly once.
09:03That day, she was in the kitchen
09:05arranging washed fruit
09:06on a plate.
09:07I walked over
09:08and helped her sort it.
09:09She looked up at me
09:10and her eyes brightened.
09:11The more I looked
09:11at those clear, bright eyes,
09:13the more confused I became.
09:15Lily didn't look at me
09:16the way a mistress
09:16looked at a wife.
09:17Lily, where are you from?
09:20A small town
09:21near the Gulf Coast.
09:22What were your parents' names?
09:24They died a long time ago.
09:26How did you meet Rafe?
09:32I asked again,
09:33more softly.
09:34Lily, is the baby
09:36you're carrying Rafe's?
09:38All the color drained
09:39from her face
09:40as if she'd been shot point-blank.
09:42Donna, just tell me the truth.
09:45Tears rushed into her eyes.
09:46One hand covered her stomach
09:47while the other braced
09:48against the edge of the sink.
09:50Donna, are you going
09:50to force me to leave?
09:51Then she clutched her belly
09:52and hurried out of the kitchen.
09:54She couldn't move quickly
09:55and Bianca happened
09:56to see her rushing out.
09:57I stood there, stunned.
09:59That afternoon,
10:00Bianca showed up
10:00at my bedroom door
10:01with several Capo's wives.
10:03The four of them stood in a row
10:04like debt collectors.
10:05She's pregnant
10:06and you still made her cry.
10:08What exactly are you trying to do?
10:09Sam stood beside my leg,
10:11hugging my knee.
10:11I pulled him behind me.
10:13If you're so worried
10:14about her, Mrs. DeLula,
10:16then move her into the room
10:17next to your
10:17and take care of her yourself.
10:19Otherwise, stop gossiping
10:21and keep your mouth shut.
10:22Before any of them could answer,
10:23I shut the door.
10:24At the end of the month,
10:25the family held
10:26a charity committee meeting.
10:27Bianca stood at the head
10:28of the long table to speak.
10:30Near the end,
10:31her tone suddenly shifted.
10:32Some women are so consumed
10:34by jealousy
10:35that they forget
10:35the family entirely.
10:37A real Donna
10:38should never make life difficult
10:39for a homeless pregnant woman,
10:41much less make herself
10:42a laughingstock
10:42in front of the whole family.
10:44My back went rigid
10:45and I started to stand.
10:46Under the table,
10:47Rafe grabbed my wrist
10:48and held me in place.
10:49I tried to pull away,
10:50but he wouldn't let go.
10:51I turned toward him.
10:52Let go.
10:53Not now.
10:54She's accusing me
10:55in front of everyone.
10:56I know.
10:57You know and you're still
10:58stopping me
10:58from defending myself?
11:00His hand didn't move.
11:01Anger burned through me.
11:02The moment the meeting ended,
11:04I went straight to the records room
11:05Vincent managed.
11:07I want to see Lily's file.
11:09I'm sorry, Donna.
11:11The file has been sealed.
11:12The Don also gave strict orders
11:14that not a single detail
11:15about Lily is to be disclosed.
11:17Who handled Lily's file?
11:22Don Salvador.
11:23Don Salvatore DeLuca,
11:25Rafe's father
11:25and the former head of the family,
11:27had stepped down
11:27three years earlier.
11:29He no longer involved himself
11:30in the family's day-to-day affairs
11:31and only stepped in
11:32when something serious happened.
11:34I turned and left
11:35the records room to find him.
11:36When Don Salvatore saw me,
11:37a conflicted look
11:38crossed his face.
11:40Nora, take my advice.
11:41Let this go.
11:42Stop making things
11:43difficult for her.
11:45I clenched my teeth.
11:47I hated letting it go,
11:48but I turned and left anyway.
11:49I had just reached
11:50the estate gates
11:51when my brother Jake's car
11:52came tearing through them.
11:53He was the heir
11:54to the Valenti family.
11:55And before I married Rafe,
11:57he'd always been the one
11:58who spoiled me most.
11:59The car hadn't even come
12:01to a full stop
12:01before he shoved the door open
12:03and jumped out.
12:04He'd rolled up his sleeves,
12:05veins standing out on his arms,
12:06his face dark with fury.
12:09Nora, just wait here.
12:10I'm going inside
12:11to kill Rafe right now.
12:12He pulled out a gun,
12:13looking ready to murder someone.
12:14Not yet.
12:16First, I need you
12:17to investigate someone for me.
12:19Who?
12:20Lily Carter,
12:21everything about her.
12:22Three days.
12:23I'll have an answer
12:24for you in three days.
12:25Three days later,
12:26Jake came back
12:27the moment I saw him
12:28walk through the front doors
12:29of the main house.
12:30I knew something was wrong.
12:31His head was down.
12:32His shoulders slumped.
12:33All his usual fire gone.
12:35He walked into the living room,
12:37dropped into a chair,
12:38picked up a glass,
12:39and drained half of it.
12:40Then he said nothing.
12:41I had a servant
12:42take Sam out to the garden
12:43and sat across from Jake.
12:46You found something?
12:48Whose baby is it?
12:50I found out.
12:51Then tell me whose it is.
12:53Nor can't we just say
12:54the baby is Rafe
12:55and leave it at that.
12:58What do you mean?
13:00Rafe didn't do anything wrong.
13:02Listen to me on this one.
13:04Let it go.
13:05He didn't do anything wrong?
13:06He brought home a pregnant woman
13:08and you're telling me
13:09he did nothing wrong?
13:10Jake fell silent.
13:12That afternoon,
13:13my parents arrived too.
13:14My father walked in,
13:15saw Rafe standing
13:16at the foot of the stairs,
13:17strode straight over,
13:18and slapped him
13:19across the face.
13:20Every guard nearby
13:21reached for a gun at once.
13:23Rafe lifted one hand.
13:24They all lowered
13:25their weapons again.
13:26He stood there
13:26without dodging.
13:28Papa.
13:28Don't call me Papa.
13:30What did you promise
13:31in front of both families
13:32on the day you married
13:34my daughter?
13:34I remember.
13:36If that baby is yours,
13:37then as of tonight,
13:38the alliance between
13:39the Valti and DeLuca
13:40families is over.
13:41Let's talk in the study.
13:43My father and mother
13:44followed Rafe inside.
13:46The doors and windows
13:46were shut.
13:47All I could hear
13:48was my father's voice
13:49rising louder and louder.
13:51Then the room
13:51suddenly went quiet.
13:53A long time later,
13:54the door opened.
13:54My mother came out first.
13:57Take your mother's advice.
13:58Let this go.
14:00Do it for the child.
14:02My head buzzed.
14:03They had gone into
14:04that study one way
14:05and come out
14:05completely changed.
14:07What the hell
14:07had Rafe told them?
14:09Why should I let it go?
14:11You haven't even
14:11asked me what happened
14:12and you're already
14:13telling me to let it go?
14:15Because dropping this
14:16is best for everyone,
14:17especially you and Sam.
14:19I stared at her.
14:20Her eyes were firm.
14:21Then I looked at my father.
14:23He stood by the window
14:24with his back to me
14:25and the hand holding
14:26his gun was still trembling.
14:28If none of you
14:29will tell me,
14:30I'll find out myself.
14:31Enough!
14:32Stop investigating.
14:35I'm asking you
14:36one last time.
14:37Is the baby yours?
14:39I can't tell you.
14:41Fine.
14:43That night
14:44after everyone left,
14:45Rafe stood outside my door.
14:46I didn't let him in.
14:47I held Sam
14:48and cried for a long time,
14:49tears dripping onto
14:50the back of his neck.
14:51Sam turned around.
14:52He was only four.
14:53He lifted his sleeve
14:54and wiped my face.
14:56Mommy.
14:57Yeah?
14:58Let's leave together.
15:00This place is bad.
15:01It makes Mommy sad.
15:03Mommy isn't happy here.
15:07That night,
15:08I packed one travel bag.
15:09I only took our documents,
15:11a few changes of clothes,
15:12and Sam's favorite storybook.
15:15At two in the morning,
15:16I carried Sam
15:17to the estate's side gate.
15:18A guard stopped me.
15:20Donna,
15:21the Don said no one
15:22is allowed to leave
15:22for the time being.
15:23I raised my hand
15:24and let him see
15:25the obsidian ring clearly.
15:26What?
15:27You listen when the Don speaks,
15:29but when the Donna gives an order,
15:32suddenly it means nothing?
15:34The guard's face changed.
15:35He lowered his head
15:36and opened the iron gate.
15:38The night wind slipped down my collar
15:39and I shivered from the cold.
15:41Mommy, where are we going?
15:43Away from here first.
15:44The next morning,
15:45Rafe came back from the port.
15:48Nora?
15:48No one answered.
15:50A sense of dread
15:50tightened in Rafe's chest.
15:52He pushed hard on the door.
15:53It swung open.
15:54The bed was cold.
15:55As if no one had slept in it all night,
15:57the closet stood open
15:58and half empty.
16:01Sam's pillow and storybook
16:03were gone too,
16:04his face slowly draining of color.
16:06At that moment,
16:06he finally understood.
16:08I had taken our son and left.
16:09Nora!
16:11How could you do something
16:12this reckless?
16:13The father of Lily's baby is...
16:16He stopped.
16:17His expression changed.
16:19Then Rafe swallowed the words
16:20that had almost escaped
16:21and spun toward the door,
16:23shouting,
16:23Lock down every exit!
16:25Rafe turned all of the city
16:26upside down,
16:27looking for me.
16:28He took a group of men
16:29to the bus station first,
16:31showing my photo
16:32to ticket agents one by one.
16:33Someone said they'd seen me
16:35carrying Sam
16:35onto a bus headed downtown.
16:38He rushed into the city
16:40and searched every hotel
16:41and rental apartment
16:42along the route.
16:45Vincent took two teams
16:46to the airport
16:47and the docks
16:48and pulled every piece
16:49of surveillance footage
16:50they could access.
16:51They searched all day
16:52and found nothing.
16:53That night,
16:54Rafe sat in the station
16:55waiting room
16:56and didn't leave
16:57until morning.
16:58He kept the obsidian ring
16:59clenched in his fist,
17:01the one I'd dropped
17:02after leaving the estate.
17:03By dawn,
17:04its edge had dug
17:04a bloody groove
17:05into his palm.
17:06The estate was in chaos, too.
17:09What respectable Donna
17:10sneaks out in the middle
17:12of the night
17:12with the air?
17:14Her husband spent six months
17:16fighting a war
17:17and she can't even tolerate
17:18one woman in the house.
17:19If she has the nerve
17:20to leave,
17:21she can forget about my son
17:22getting down on his knees
17:23to beg her to come back.
17:26He's the Don of this family.
17:28She doesn't care
17:29how much she humiliates
17:30her husband.
17:31The words had barely
17:31left her mouth
17:32when an ebony cane
17:33tapped lightly
17:34against the floor
17:35at the doorway.
17:36Don Salvatore stood there
17:37leaning on his cane.
17:38The chapel storage room
17:40fell silent instantly.
17:42He had been retired
17:43for three years
17:44and rarely spoke
17:45unless necessary.
17:46None of the women
17:47expected him
17:47to appear in person.
17:49Nora is Rafe's wife.
17:51She's your daughter-in-law.
17:53Aren't you ashamed
17:54of standing here
17:55gossiping about her
17:56every day?
17:57She's the one being petty.
17:58So what if the Don
17:59has a mistress?
18:00What do you know?
18:02Bianca didn't dare
18:03say another word.
18:04Don Salvatore
18:05said nothing more.
18:06He turned
18:07and slowly walked away
18:08with his cane.
18:10Then again,
18:11the sound fading
18:11farther and farther away.
18:13That afternoon,
18:14Don Salvatore
18:15personally went
18:16to Rafe's study.
18:16When he came out,
18:18his expression was grim.
18:20Don Salvatore.
18:22Don't address me as Don.
18:24I mishandled this.
18:26Nora never should
18:27have been kept in the dark.
18:29Jake searched for me
18:30for two days.
18:31When he finally found
18:32Sam and me
18:33at a cheap hotel
18:33on the west side
18:34of the city,
18:35I was sharpening
18:35Sam's crayons.
18:37Sam lay over the table
18:38drawing a picture
18:39of an adult
18:39holding a child's hand.
18:42Uncle Jake.
18:47Jake sat across from me,
18:49pulled a black envelope
18:49from inside his coat
18:50and slid it across the table.
18:52I opened it.
18:53Inside was a death certificate
18:54name.
18:55Michael Doyle.
18:56Dot of death.
18:57One week before
18:58Rafe returned to New Orleans,
19:00a photograph was clipped
19:02behind the certificate.
19:03In it,
19:04an unfamiliar man
19:04stood behind Lily,
19:06one hand resting
19:06on her still flat stomach
19:08while the other
19:08held a tiny pair
19:09of baby shoes
19:10still in their packaging.
19:11They were both smiling.
19:13Who is this?
19:14Michael Doyle.
19:15Rafe's head of security
19:16and one of the DeLucco family's
19:18most important associates.
19:19He wasn't a made man
19:20but he'd worked for Rafe
19:21for nine years
19:22and saved his life twice.
19:24Jake pulled another piece
19:25of paper from his pocket,
19:26this one stained with blood.
19:28Don,
19:28I'm leaving Lily
19:29and the baby with you.
19:30Don't let Caruso find them.
19:32Michael,
19:32I clenched the paper
19:33in my hand.
19:34The baby's Michael's?
19:37Yes.
19:38After Caruso
19:39attacked the port,
19:40Michael had been investigating
19:41the mole inside the family.
19:44In the final ambush,
19:46he took two bullets for Rafe
19:47and killed the Caruso heir.
19:50He didn't survive the night.
19:54Michael and Lily
19:55never made their relationship public.
19:57Caruso only knew
19:58he'd left behind
19:58a pregnant woman.
19:59They didn't know who she was.
20:01They put the word out
20:02that they intended
20:03to wipe out
20:03Michael's bloodline too.
20:05No wonder she'd looked at me
20:06that way in the kitchen.
20:07No wonder she'd looked
20:09so deeply hurt
20:10when she burst into tears.
20:11She hadn't come
20:12to steal my husband.
20:13She simply couldn't say
20:14the name of the man
20:14she loved who had died.
20:16Why did Rafe let everyone
20:17think the baby was his?
20:19Because there was still
20:20a mole inside
20:20the DeLuca family.
20:22As long as he didn't deny it,
20:23everyone would assume
20:24Lily was the Don's woman.
20:25No one would dare
20:26keep digging into her.
20:27Only after they found
20:28the mole
20:29and eliminated
20:30the killers Caruso
20:31left behind
20:31could the truth come out.
20:34Why didn't you
20:35tell me before?
20:38Rafe didn't tell me.
20:39I found it out myself.
20:42What about mom and dad?
20:43Dad went after him
20:44with a gun.
20:45The two families
20:46almost went to war.
20:47Rafe had no choice
20:47but to tell him
20:48and make him swear
20:48on the honor
20:49of the Velati family
20:50that he would keep it secret.
20:51So you were allowed
20:52to investigate?
20:53Dad was allowed
20:53to point a gun at him
20:54and force the truth
20:55out of him.
20:56Vincent and Don Salvatore
20:57knew from the beginning
20:57and the one person
20:58who had the greatest right
20:59to know the truth
21:00was the one all of you
21:01decided to lie to.
21:02No, Rafe didn't betray you.
21:03He just couldn't tell you.
21:04You should forgive him.
21:05Couldn't tell me?
21:07Forgive him?
21:08I can understand
21:09why he couldn't tell me
21:10who Michael was.
21:11I can understand
21:12why he couldn't tell me
21:12he was hunting a mull
21:13but he couldn't even tell me
21:14in private
21:15that the baby wasn't his.
21:16Do any of you understand
21:18how much the truth mattered?
21:19Who was the one
21:20people pointed at
21:21and insulted for two months?
21:22Who was the one
21:23Rafe's mother told
21:24to give up her son's room
21:25to a pregnant woman
21:26who tried to stand up
21:27and defend herself
21:28only to have her husband
21:29physically hold her down?
21:30Did any of you ever think
21:31about how humiliated I was
21:32and now you want me
21:33to forgive him?
21:34Dream on.
21:34Get out.
21:35I don't want to see you right now.
21:40Nor.
21:41If you don't leave
21:41I'll take Sam
21:42and switch hotels right now.
21:49Rafe hasn't slept
21:50in two days.
21:51He seemed to sleep
21:52just fine
21:52during the two months
21:53everyone was insulting me.
21:55Jake said nothing else.
21:56I slammed the door
21:57in his face.
21:59That night
21:59after Sam fell asleep
22:00a crayon was
22:01still clutched
22:02in his hand.
22:03I gently pulled it free
22:04and picked up
22:04the picture he'd drawn.
22:05There were only
22:06two people in it.
22:07Sam and me.
22:09Two little figures
22:09one big and one small
22:10holding hands
22:11beneath the sun.
22:13I'd asked him
22:13where his father was.
22:15He'd said daddy
22:15was very far away.
22:17I folded the picture
22:17turned off the light
22:18and lay down.
22:21The next morning
22:22I checked out
22:23of the hotel.
22:24I didn't go back
22:24to the DeLuca estate
22:25and I didn't return
22:26to the Valenti home either.
22:28I sent Sam
22:28to stay with my mother
22:29for a while
22:30and went alone
22:30to the north shore
22:31of Lake Pontchartrain.
22:33There was a private
22:33physical rehabilitation
22:34center there
22:35called Harbor House.
22:37My grandmother
22:37had left it to me.
22:38After I got married
22:39I handed it over
22:40to professional management
22:41and hadn't been back
22:42in six years.
22:43Mrs. Coleman,
22:44the director,
22:45was in her 50s,
22:46finished going through
22:47the past few years
22:48of accounts,
22:49then looked up at me.
22:50What brought you back
22:50all of a sudden?
22:52My husband has passed away.
22:54I told her
22:54my husband was dead.
22:56Mrs. Coleman
22:56didn't ask
22:57any more questions.
22:58She pushed a ring
22:59of keys across the desk.
23:01There's only enough money
23:02left to keep us running
23:02for two months.
23:03The East Wing leaks,
23:05the kitchen owes money
23:06to suppliers,
23:06and we're short
23:07six caregivers.
23:09Where do we start?
23:11With the unpaid wages.
23:14Working at Harbor House
23:15wasn't easy.
23:16I got to the office
23:17at six every morning.
23:18During the day
23:18I went through the books,
23:20called contractors,
23:21interviewed staff,
23:22and helped on the wards
23:23whenever we were shorthanded.
23:24Call bells rang nonstop.
23:26Carts rattled through the halls.
23:27Patients pressed
23:28their call buttons,
23:29relatives argued,
23:30and nurses called for help.
23:31The noise never stopped.
23:33The first week,
23:34I got three blisters
23:35on my hands moving supplies,
23:36covered them with gauze,
23:37and kept working.
23:38By the second week,
23:39the blisters had turned
23:40into calluses.
23:41I sold several pieces
23:43of my personal jewelry
23:44and used the money
23:45to cover the back pay owed
23:46to 27 employees.
23:48When my father found out,
23:50he called me.
23:52The Volante family
23:53isn't short on money.
23:54I know.
23:55Then why are you
23:56selling your own things?
23:59Because Harbor House
24:00is mine.
24:02The other end of the line
24:03was silent for a long time.
24:05You're really not coming back?
24:07No.
24:08My father hung up.
24:14At the end of the month,
24:16Mrs. Coleman slid a piece of paper
24:17with an address across my desk.
24:19It was the apartment
24:20I'd asked her to help me find.
24:21It was right across
24:22from the rehab center.
24:24One bedroom,
24:25one living room,
24:25and a small balcony.
24:27I signed the lease
24:27that afternoon.
24:28That weekend,
24:29I went back to Galveston
24:30to pick up Sam.
24:31My parents were waiting
24:32in front of the estate.
24:33When my father saw me,
24:34his lips moved.
24:35What happened to your hands?
24:38Moving supplies.
24:40The next day,
24:41as I was leaving,
24:42my mother caught my sleeve.
24:43You're really not
24:43going back to Rafe?
24:45No.
24:47He came by the day
24:48before yesterday.
24:48He's lost a lot of weight.
24:50Every single one of them
24:51had helped keep
24:52the truth from me.
24:53None of them had the right
24:54to talk me into
24:55reconciling with him.
24:56No one at the DeLuca estate
24:57knew where I'd gone.
24:58They only knew that Rafe
25:00returned to the main house
25:01less and less.
25:02He spent his days
25:03at the port,
25:04slept in his study at night,
25:05and barely spoke to anyone
25:07even during meals.
25:08Vincent tried to talk
25:09to him once.
25:10Rafe shut the door
25:10in his face.
25:11Lily wasn't doing well either.
25:13One evening,
25:14she was carrying a plate
25:15of dessert
25:16toward the dining room
25:17when her legs
25:18suddenly gave out
25:18beneath her.
25:19The plate shattered,
25:20cream splattering
25:21across the floor.
25:23After examining her,
25:24the doctor said
25:25she was malnourished.
25:26Her blood pressure
25:27was dangerously low,
25:28and the pregnancy
25:29was at serious risk.
25:30If things continued like this,
25:32she could lose the baby.
25:33When Bianca went to see her,
25:35she brought a basket of fruit.
25:37Lily leaned against
25:38the headboard,
25:39her face as white
25:39as the sheets.
25:40Bianca sat for a while
25:42before finally asking
25:43the question
25:43she'd been holding in
25:44for two months.
25:45Lily, tell me the truth.
25:47Whose baby are you carrying?
25:50Lily didn't take the fruit
25:52Bianca offered her.
25:53If the baby isn't Rafe's,
25:54why didn't you say so?
25:55The Don saved me.
25:58I can't ruin his plan.
26:01What about Nora?
26:03Every single day,
26:05I wanted to tell her.
26:06When Bianca returned
26:07from the clinic,
26:07she ran into Don Salvatore
26:09in the hallway.
26:10Salvador.
26:11Don Salvatore stood
26:12in front of her
26:12for a long moment.
26:13Bianca,
26:14when you married me,
26:15I told you one thing.
26:17Do you remember it?
26:18Bianca answered nervously.
26:20I remember.
26:21You said a Delina woman
26:22either helps
26:23hold the family together
26:24or knows when
26:25to keep her mouth shut.
26:26For the past two months,
26:27you've done neither.
26:29You humiliated
26:30your own daughter-in-law
26:30over a girl
26:31whose background
26:32you didn't even know.
26:33I didn't know.
26:34Then that was even more reason
26:35to keep your mouth shut.
26:39Nora is the only person
26:40in this house
26:41who hasn't done
26:42a single thing wrong
26:43from beginning to end.
26:44Go ask Vincent.
26:46Once you have,
26:47think very carefully
26:47about what you're
26:48going to do next.
26:49By the time Bianca
26:50left the hallway,
26:51her legs were shaking.
26:52She went straight
26:53to Vincent's office.
26:54Lily's baby isn't Rafe's,
26:55is it?
26:56Vincent closed the file
26:57in front of him
26:58and didn't answer.
26:59Then whose baby is it?
27:02There are still things
27:02I can't tell you.
27:04Think about it yourself.
27:06If the baby really
27:07was the Dons,
27:08why did every man
27:08who came back
27:09from the Gulf Coast
27:10protect Lily
27:10yet not one of them
27:11congratulate him?
27:13A living person's pride
27:14will never matter more
27:15than protecting
27:16the child of a dead man.
27:20Michael's belongings
27:21were returned
27:22to the estate.
27:23The package wasn't large.
27:24It was a metal box
27:25recovered from
27:26the burned warehouse.
27:27Rafe opened it.
27:28Inside were a neatly
27:28folded black suit,
27:30an old watch,
27:31a bill folded in half,
27:32and a letter
27:33that had never been sent.
27:34Lily's name was written
27:35on the envelope.
27:36Rafe opened the letter.
27:37If I don't make it back,
27:39tell my child
27:39his father didn't run away.
27:41I died trying to come home.
27:43Rafe took the letter
27:44to Vincent's study
27:45that two of them
27:46shut the door
27:46and stayed inside
27:47all afternoon.
27:49Vincent took apart
27:49the old watch
27:50and found a tiny
27:51folded ledger page
27:52hidden inside the casing.
27:54It listed several
27:55DeLuca shipments
27:56whose schedules
27:56had been leaked.
27:57The same initials
27:59were written
27:59beside every entry
28:00CG Carlo Greco,
28:02a capo responsible
28:03for coordinating
28:04the DeLuca port operations.
28:06That night,
28:07Carlo was caught
28:07while trying to leave
28:08New Orleans.
28:09He was dragged
28:10into the basement,
28:11still shouting
28:12that he'd served
28:12the DeLuca family
28:13for 20 years.
28:15Were you the one
28:15who sold our movements
28:16to Caruso
28:17before those attacks?
28:18Carlo stopped shouting.
28:20Using the addresses
28:21he gave up,
28:22DeLuca men found
28:23the last group
28:23of Caruso's
28:24still hiding
28:25in the city.
28:26Before dawn,
28:27the threat was gone.
28:28The next morning,
28:30Don Salvatore
28:31ordered Vincent
28:31to summon every
28:32core member
28:33of the family
28:33to the private chapel.
28:35It wasn't a family meeting.
28:36It was a formal
28:37family tribunal
28:38presided over
28:39by Don Salvatore himself.
28:41The chapel was packed.
28:42Bianca sat in the front row.
28:44The women who had
28:45insulted me
28:46sat behind her.
28:47Rafe stood beside the altar
28:48instead of taking
28:49the Don's seat.
28:50That chair had been left
28:51for Don Salvatore.
28:53Don Salvatore
28:53walked slowly
28:54toward the altar,
28:55leaning on his ebony cane.
28:57He had been retired
28:58for three years.
28:59This was the first time
29:00in three years
29:01that he had sat
29:01in that old chair.
29:03I've been retired
29:04for three years.
29:06Today,
29:06I'm stepping into
29:08family business
29:08one more time
29:09because this time
29:11the family owes a debt
29:12to one dead man
29:14and justice
29:15to one woman.
29:18He looked at Bianca,
29:19then at the Capos' wives
29:21seated behind her.
29:23Vincent walked
29:24to the long table
29:25and placed three things on it.
29:27Michael's cufflinks,
29:28the farewell letter
29:29he'd written to Lily,
29:30and the bloodstained note
29:31entrusting Lily
29:32and the baby to Rafe.
29:33Michael Doyle
29:34was not a made man.
29:35For nine years,
29:36he carried out
29:3727 operations
29:38for the DeLuca family
29:39and saved my son's life
29:41twice.
29:42The last time,
29:43he didn't come home alive.
29:49If I don't make it back,
29:51tell my child
29:52his father didn't run away.
29:54I died trying to come home.
29:57The woman the Don
29:58brought back
29:58from the Gulf Coast
29:59was not his mistress.
30:01She was the fiancé
30:02of a man who died
30:03for the DeLuca family
30:04and she was carrying
30:06his child.
30:07The handkerchief
30:08slipped from Bianca's hand.
30:13Until Carlo was caught
30:14and the killers
30:15were eliminated,
30:17anyone learning
30:17the child's identity
30:18would have put Lily
30:19and the baby
30:20in mortal danger.
30:21That's why the Don
30:22couldn't explain publicly.
30:27I was the one
30:28who ordered everyone
30:29to believe Lily
30:30was my woman.
30:31I take responsibility
30:32for every consequence.
30:36Over the past two months,
30:38several people in this house
30:39said ugly things
30:40to the Donna's face.
30:42I won't name names.
30:44If you were one of them,
30:45stand up!
30:46After a long time,
30:47two Capo's wives
30:48stood first.
30:50We're sorry.
30:51We were wrong.
30:52Then four more stood.
30:53Then five.
30:55Bianca was the last.
30:57She slowly rose
30:58from the front row
30:58and turned to face
30:59the entire chapel.
31:00I'm Rafe's mother.
31:02I tried to force Nora
31:04to give Lily
31:04her son's room.
31:07I humiliated her in public
31:09at the charity
31:09committee meeting.
31:12Everyone in this house
31:13who spoke badly about Nora
31:14followed my lead.
31:16I was wrong.
31:19Don Salvatore watched her
31:21in silence for a long time.
31:22Tell Nora that.
31:24Not us.
31:27After the Tribunal ended,
31:28Bianca didn't leave right away.
31:30She stood for a long time
31:31staring at the empty seat
31:33reserved for the Donna
31:33beside the altar
31:34as tears kept slipping
31:35down her cheeks.
31:37Three days later,
31:38she wrote me a letter by hand.
31:39She wrote that
31:40if I was willing to come back,
31:41she would move out
31:42of the main house
31:43and hand over
31:44the estate keys
31:45along with everything
31:46that belonged
31:47to the Donna.
31:48If I still couldn't
31:49forgive her,
31:50she would come kneel
31:51before me herself.
31:52By the end of the letter,
31:54the ink had bled
31:55across the page.
31:56Gabriel came to
31:57Harbor House
31:57with two men.
31:58At the time,
31:59I was pushing a cart
32:00of clean sheets
32:01toward the inpatient wing.
32:02Mrs. Coleman called me twice
32:03from the end of the hallway
32:05before I heard her.
32:06I handed the cart
32:06to a caregiver
32:07and went outside.
32:10Donna,
32:11two days ago,
32:12Don Salvadori
32:12personally presided
32:13over a family tribunal
32:14in the chapel
32:15and explained everything.
32:17Michael saved the Don's life.
32:18Lily and the baby
32:19were both entrusted
32:20to him by Michael.
32:21Bianca and the others
32:21were all there.
32:22Don Salvadori ordered
32:23Bianca to apologize
32:24to you herself.
32:27I opened Bianca's letter,
32:29read it,
32:29then folded it again.
32:30She said that
32:31if you'd come back,
32:31she'd move out.
32:33And she said
32:34if you want her to kneel,
32:35she'll come and kneel
32:36before you herself.
32:38Tell her she doesn't
32:39need to kneel.
32:42Then when are you
32:43coming back to the estate?
32:44I never said
32:45I was going back.
32:46But the baby
32:47isn't the Don's.
32:48I know.
32:50The Don never
32:51touched Lily either.
32:52I know.
32:53Then why?
32:56Because my shift
32:57isn't over yet.
33:00That night,
33:01I went back
33:01to the DeLuca estate
33:02not to move back in
33:03to collect what
33:04I'd left behind.
33:05A winter coat,
33:06two pairs of shoes,
33:07and a photo album.
33:08On the last page
33:09was a picture
33:10of the three of us
33:10standing in front
33:11of the estate
33:12before Rafe left
33:13for the Gulf Coast
33:14to fight the rival family.
33:16Sam sat on Rafe's shoulders,
33:17grinning wide enough
33:18to show a row
33:19of tiny teeth.
33:20I stood beside them,
33:22straightening Rafe's collar.
33:23My lips were parted
33:24as if I were still speaking.
33:26I was probably telling him
33:27to come home safe.
33:28I closed the album
33:29and placed it
33:30in the cardboard box.
33:31As I stepped outside,
33:32I ran into Bianca.
33:33The moment she saw
33:34the box in my arms,
33:35she went rigid
33:36at the foot of the stairs.
33:38Nora,
33:39I got your letter.
33:41Stay tonight.
33:44If you don't want to see me,
33:45I'll move into
33:46the West House right now.
33:47The main house is yours.
33:49So is your place as Donna.
33:51Mrs. DeLuca,
33:52I'm not staying away
33:53because I'm still angry with you.
33:55Then why?
33:56Everyone here
33:57calls me Donna,
33:58but when something
33:59actually happened,
34:00not one person
34:00treated me like the Donna.
34:03You expected me
34:04to accept a woman
34:05who might have been
34:06carrying my husband's child.
34:08Rafe told me
34:09to keep quiet.
34:11Everyone else stood there
34:12and watched me be humiliated.
34:15Now that the truth is out,
34:17you all think
34:17that if you give me back
34:18the room and the ring,
34:20everything can go back
34:21to the way it was.
34:25Nora, I'm sorry.
34:27I accept your apology,
34:28but I'm not coming back.
34:31No one out there.
34:31I love you.
