review note on The Godmother's New Heir, and the smartest decision here is where it puts the violence.
There is none. No raid, no gun, no standoff. This is a story about organised power told entirely through appointments, seating, inheritance and paperwork. The only weapons used are decisions.
That restraint is what makes it land. A family that can take everything from someone without touching them is more frightening than one that shoots, because it means the structure itself is the threat.
It also means the performances carry the weight. Everything happens in how people are greeted.
✨ What worked for me:
- The power is administrative, not physical.
- Nobody raises their voice at any point.
✨ Bottom line: the most violent scene in it is a signature.
Is quiet power scarier than open force?

00:02I'm not just touching it, I'm wearing it.
00:05See this?
00:06The blood ring.
00:07The symbol of the Valenti godfather.
00:11Oh my god, I've only ever seen this ring on the news!
00:15Vanessa, you've made it!
00:18An adoptive mother hogging the blood ring?
00:21Please, I'm the future lady of the Valenti family.
00:25The ring of power belongs to me.
00:28All hail the queen!
00:35Vanessa, my girl, they've got some nice stuff in this place.
00:38Okay, if we take a few things home?
00:40Take whatever you want. Don't be shy.
00:51Vanessa Valenti has a nice ring to it.
00:58Who's there?
01:06Serafina?
01:10Die!
01:19Godmother, they're getting away, and we're out of ammo!
01:23Who says we're out?
01:24I'm flying the biggest round we've got.
01:30Godmother, don't!
01:37She's crazy!
01:38She's taking us all down with her!
01:56Godmother!
02:20Godmother, every last one of them is gone.
02:21We won!
02:28Godmother, Master Luca is getting married!
02:30Which family's daughter?
02:32Not one of the families.
02:34She's from Brooklyn.
02:35Grew up in foster homes.
02:41Before I knew it, Luca's getting married.
02:4920 years ago, Luca's father died for me.
02:58His mother died giving birth to him, and now his father's gone too.
03:02What's going to happen to this baby?
03:09From today on, he's my son.
03:18I raised him.
03:20I gave him everything.
03:23I'd have given my life.
03:25Godmother, are you really giving Master Luca your kidney?
03:28He's my son.
03:29If it saves him, what's one kidney?
03:33Will you tell him?
03:34No.
03:35I'm saving my own child.
03:37He doesn't owe me anything.
03:42We don't share blood, but in my heart, he's my own son.
03:49I'm coming home tonight.
03:57Welcome home, Godmother.
04:01Where's Luca?
04:02Master Luca meant to come, but Miss Vanessa sent him out for a cake.
04:06He asked me to take you home first.
04:09Let's go.
04:11Uncle, I'm almost at Luca's.
04:13Once he takes over the family, I'm the godfather's wife.
04:17Every big shot in New York will be jumping when I say so.
04:21Godmother, Miss Vanessa comes from nothing.
04:24She's no match for Master Luca.
04:26It doesn't matter.
04:26I trust his judgment.
04:28As long as he loves her, I'm behind him all the way.
04:34It's okay, honey.
04:38My baby!
04:47Watch out!
05:07My car!
05:12Are you insane?
05:14Where the hell did you come from?
05:16You nearly killed a child.
05:19Nearly.
05:20The kid's fine, isn't it?
05:21My car's not.
05:22You know what this car costs?
05:23Sell you on the black market and you still couldn't pay for one window.
05:26Which matters more, a car or a person?
05:30Be grateful you're not a murderer.
05:32Don't try to scare me.
05:33You want money, right?
05:35Okay.
05:39Okay.
05:42Okay.
05:44Okay.
05:50Godmother, say the word and I'll have her on her knees apologizing.
05:55Let it go.
05:57Luca's fiance is waiting.
05:59I'm not wasting time on someone like that.
06:09Godmother, someone of your standing shouldn't be doing this.
06:12It's the first time Luca's brought a girl home.
06:13If I cook for her myself, she'll know she matters.
06:16Oh, the gift?
06:17The French Empress's own necklace.
06:19There isn't another like it in the world.
06:21You're really giving it to a girl you've never met?
06:24As long as she loves Luca, nothing's too precious.
06:30Mom.
06:35You're about to get married and you're still such a kid.
06:39I haven't seen you in forever.
06:41I missed you so much.
06:45Mom, Vanessa's almost here.
06:47She's the kindest girl I've ever met.
06:49She just never had a family, so she's not great with older people.
06:51If she says something wrong, don't be mad at her.
06:55She's not even here yet.
06:56And you're already protecting her?
06:58Because I really love her.
07:01Girls as sweet and innocent as her are so rare.
07:04All right.
07:05Mom, trust your judgment.
07:06You're the best, Mom.
07:08If you chose her, she must be wonderful.
07:11That must be Vanessa.
07:16Hey, sweetheart, you made it.
07:18Mom, this is my fiancée, Vanessa.
07:21It's you.
07:22It's you.
07:26She's Luca's mother?
07:28You want money, right?
07:35Mom?
07:36Sweetheart?
07:37You two know each other?
07:38No!
07:40I pissed her off.
07:42What if she won't let me marry Luca?
07:44Okay, let me do this properly.
07:46This is my mother, Serafina.
07:48If she hadn't adopted me,
07:50I'd probably have frozen to death on some street in New York.
07:52Adopted?
07:53Just the adoptive mom.
07:55Then I've got nothing to worry about.
07:56Look at her.
07:57She can't be anybody in the Valenti family.
07:59Vanessa, say hi.
08:01Mrs. Valenti?
08:02Hi.
08:03I got this for you.
08:07If Luca loves her,
08:08I should support him.
08:09Maybe this morning was a misunderstanding.
08:12Mom, you're the best.
08:13Vanessa, say thank you.
08:14Called it.
08:14Sucking up to me already.
08:18Thanks.
08:19I love it.
08:25Luca, give me the tour?
08:27Yes, ma'am.
08:32I'll watch her a little longer.
08:35Vanessa, it's your first time here.
08:37Mom cooked tonight's dinner herself,
08:38just for you.
08:39I don't eat rosemary.
08:41Leave it out next time.
08:46Uncle, the Valentis are even richer than I thought.
08:48Once I marry in, all of this is ours.
08:55Mom, this lamb's so tender.
08:58Try it.
09:02I haven't even started!
09:04Who said you could eat first?
09:10What did you say?
09:12You've got some nerve eating first.
09:14Do you even see me sitting here?
09:17Sweetheart, this one's great too.
09:18Try it.
09:19I don't want that one.
09:20The first serving goes to the guest.
09:23You're how old and you still don't know basic manners?
09:28Say that again.
09:30Mom, please don't be mad.
09:32She's just a little hot temple.
09:34She doesn't mean anything by it.
09:36Please forgive her.
09:37For Luca.
09:39One more time.
09:41If she wants it, give it to her.
09:43Thanks, Mom.
09:44Just like I thought,
09:46she only gets to live here because of Luca.
09:48At least she knows who really runs this house.
09:52Babe, feed me.
09:54Anything you want.
10:02Forget it.
10:03I won't let her come between me and Luca.
10:05I've lost my appetite.
10:07You two go ahead.
10:12Luca, come see me in the study later.
10:15We need to talk about your wedding alone.
10:18Okay, Mom.
10:26Luca, she's just your adoptive mom.
10:28Why does she get a say in our wedding?
10:30Don't, Vanessa.
10:32Mom matters a lot to me.
10:34I'm going to see Mom in the study.
10:36Pick any room you like.
10:40Playing the queen just because she's the adoptive mom?
10:43If Luca won't teach you some manners,
10:46I will.
10:51What are you doing?
10:53Oh, it's you.
10:55Who said you could come into my room?
10:58Your room?
10:59I'm Luca's fiance.
11:00This whole house is mine.
11:02I'll sleep wherever I want.
11:06A fossil like you probably doesn't get it.
11:09Girls my age dress a little more open.
11:11Not like you.
11:13Not an ounce of sex appeal.
11:14No wonder no man wants you at your age.
11:17In the Valenti family,
11:18sex appeal isn't a job requirement.
11:21Get out of my room.
11:22Now.
11:22I'm not going anywhere.
11:24This room's mine.
11:28Ooh, what a gorgeous ruby.
11:31Don't touch that.
11:32You say don't?
11:34So I will.
11:38Serafina, you'd pull a gun on me?
11:40I'll have Luca throw you out of this house.
11:43Throw me out?
11:45Let me show you who runs this house.
11:47Someone get in here.
11:50Throw her out.
11:52Didn't you hear, ma'am?
11:53Move.
11:54Let go of me!
11:56Serafina, you can't do this to me!
11:58Luca will make you pay!
12:03One more word,
12:04and I'll shut you up for good.
12:15I'm Luca's fiance.
12:17You can't do this.
12:18I don't accept you.
12:20Luca!
12:21Help!
12:21Your mom's trying to kill me!
12:24Mom, what's going on?
12:25Put the gun down!
12:26You're scaring Vanessa!
12:33Babe, your mom looks down on me.
12:34She thinks I'm too low class for you.
12:36She hit me, and she had the servants throw me out.
12:39I told you to pick a room.
12:41Why are you in mom's room?
12:44Luca, did you tell her she could take my room?
12:47Mom, I swear I didn't.
12:48I never told her to touch your room.
12:56Sweetheart, I said any room except this one, didn't I?
12:59I just wanted a big room.
13:01You know, I never had a room of my own growing up.
13:03Mom's room is the biggest.
13:04I loved it so much.
13:08I'm sorry, sweetheart.
13:09I didn't think about what you needed.
13:11I shouldn't have snapped.
13:12It's not your fault.
13:14Mom, I'll have someone clean up the room.
13:16Please don't be mad at Vanessa, okay?
13:18And if I say no?
13:21Luca's the head of this house.
13:22Who are you to defy the future godfather?
13:26I'm his mother.
13:29Hey, mom.
13:31She's young.
13:31She doesn't know any better.
13:33Don't stoop to her level.
13:35Luca, are you sure you want to marry someone like this?
13:38He's my fiancé.
13:39Don't try to turn him against me.
13:41He was my son before he was ever your fiancé.
13:45Mom, please.
13:46Forgive Vanessa.
13:47She just never had anyone love her.
13:49She didn't mean to disrespect you.
13:53Never being loved doesn't give her the right to run wild in front of me.
13:57The future godfather's wife can't be someone like this.
14:00Mom, give us one more chance, please.
14:02I'll make sure she behaves.
14:04I'm sorry.
14:05I was wrong.
14:06Mom, she apologized.
14:08Please forgive her.
14:12Fine.
14:13I'll give you one chance.
14:15Teach her some manners.
14:17If she provokes me again,
14:18she'll answer to Valenti family law.
14:28An adoptive mom threatening me with family law?
14:31Dream on.
14:44Serafina, open it.
14:47The blood ring?
14:49This is the godfather's ring.
14:51You're giving it to me?
14:52The Valenti family is yours now.
14:54One day, when you find someone worthy,
14:56pass the ring to them.
14:57The Valenti line must never be broken.
15:01Father,
15:02I understand.
15:11Father,
15:12Godmother,
15:12is the Luca of today fit to wear the Valenti ring?
15:17Godmother,
15:18is the wound bothering you again?
15:19No.
15:20It just itches when the seasons change.
15:22I tried to talk you out of it back then.
15:25It's all right.
15:27If I had to do it again,
15:28I'd make the same choice.
15:33Have someone look into who Vanessa was seeing
15:35before she met Luca.
15:36Yes,
15:37Godmother.
15:52The blood ring's gone.
15:54Enzo!
15:55Ma'am?
15:56Pull the security footage.
16:13You'd lay hands on the family's blood ring?
16:16Vanessa,
16:17you've got some nerve.
16:19Tell Luca to get in here.
16:21Now.
16:25Mom,
16:25what happened?
16:26Your fiance crept into my studio
16:28in the middle of the night
16:29and stole the family's blood ring.
16:31No way.
16:31Vanessa's not like that.
16:35Mom,
16:36there's got to be some misunderstanding.
16:38She was probably just messing around.
16:41The Valenti blood ring is a toy to you two?
16:45Luca,
16:46get her back here and get my ring back.
16:48And then...
16:49And then what?
16:53Mom,
16:54please.
16:55Don't handle her the family way.
16:58Luca,
16:58you're the next godfather
16:59of the Valenti family.
17:01And you're on your knees
17:02for a thief?
17:03Mom,
17:04you don't know what she did for me.
17:05What?
17:06Three years ago,
17:07when my kidneys failed
17:08and I was dying,
17:09Vanessa went to the hospital,
17:10got tested,
17:11and gave me one of hers.
17:12The Valenti family
17:14always pays its debts.
17:16I owe her.
17:17I'll never be able to pay her back.
17:21But the one who saved you was...
17:25Mom,
17:26give me one more chance.
17:27I'll go find Vanessa right now
17:29and make her give it back.
17:35The one who saved you
17:37was me.
17:38I gave him that kidney.
17:41Why does Luca think
17:42it was Vanessa?
17:44I have to find out.
17:47Ma'am!
17:48Trouble.
17:49Vanessa's thrown a party
17:50at the Ancestral House
17:51with a whole crowd
17:52of her relatives.
17:53What?
17:54That's where every
17:55Valenti Don
17:55is laid to rest,
17:56the most sacred ground
17:57this family has.
17:58How dare she bring people there?
18:00I'm going.
18:01Vanessa,
18:02I gave you your chance.
18:14Holy crap!
18:15One bottle of this
18:16is three months rent!
18:17One of these pearls
18:17would feed us for a year!
18:21Yeah!
18:23She told me not to touch it.
18:25I'm not just touching it,
18:26I'm wearing it.
18:28See this?
18:29The blood ring?
18:30The symbol
18:31of the Valenti Godfather.
18:34Oh my God,
18:35I've only ever seen
18:36this ring on the news!
18:37Vanessa!
18:38You've made it!
18:41An adoptive mother
18:42hogging the blood ring?
18:44Please,
18:45I'm the future lady
18:46of the Valenti family.
18:48The ring of power
18:49belongs to me.
18:51All hail the queen!
18:58Vanessa, my girl,
18:59they've got some nice stuff
19:00in this place.
19:01Okay, if we take
19:02a few things home?
19:03Take whatever you want.
19:04Don't be shy.
19:14Vanessa Valanti
19:15has a nice ring to it.
19:20Who's there?
19:29Serafina?
19:35Serafina?
19:37Vanessa,
19:38every Valenti Don
19:39lies at rest
19:39in this house.
19:42What are you
19:44that you think
19:45you can stand here?
19:49I'm Luca's fiancee,
19:51the future lady
19:52of the Valenti family.
19:53Of course I belong here!
19:55As long as I don't
19:55accept you,
19:56you are not a Valenti.
19:57Take that ring off.
20:00Luca gave me this.
20:02Why should you get it?
20:03Did Luca give it to you
20:04or did you steal it?
20:07You know the answer.
20:09I, I don't know
20:10what you're talking about.
20:13For Luca's sake,
20:14I've given you
20:14chance after chance.
20:16Take off that ring
20:17and get your people
20:18out of here.
20:19Now!
20:22Luca's the heir!
20:23Who are you
20:24to throw me out?
20:25Luca's the heir, yes.
20:27Without me,
20:27he's nothing.
20:28I don't know
20:29what you mean.
20:31When Luca takes over,
20:32this ring's mine anyway.
20:33You know,
20:34whatever I ask for,
20:34Luca gives me.
20:35You're that sure
20:36he'll say yes?
20:37Of course!
20:38I'm his...
20:38His what?
20:40The one who saved his life?
20:42That's right.
20:43I saved Luca's life.
20:45The Valentis owe me forever.
20:46The one who gave Luca
20:48a kidney, a chen,
20:49three years ago
20:50wasn't you.
20:52If it wasn't me,
20:53then who?
20:55You?
20:57You guessed it.
20:58It was...
21:00Vanessa!
21:05You called up a girl
21:06for your uncle?
21:07Look at the body
21:08on this one.
21:08I like her.
21:23Serafina?
21:24How dare you
21:25touch my uncle?
21:27Why wouldn't I?
21:28What is he?
21:31What did you just say to me?
21:32You witch!
21:33You hit me!
21:34You're gonna pay for this!
21:46Do you know what happened
21:47to the last man
21:48who disrespected me?
21:50What?
22:04I'll tell Luca
22:05exactly what happened
22:06here today.
22:07Vanessa,
22:09you will never be part
22:10of the Valenti family.
22:12I can't let her leave.
22:14If she walks out that door,
22:15I'm finished.
22:20What did you just put in me?
22:23Guess.
22:39Luca.
22:41Help me.
22:43Vanessa,
22:44I came to...
22:45Babe!
22:46What are you doing here?
22:52Let go!
23:06Vanessa,
23:08why is there a streak
23:09of blood on the floor?
23:10I knocked over
23:11some ketchup.
23:12Babe,
23:12what did you come
23:13to see me about?
23:17Oh my God!
23:18Is that for me?
23:20It is.
23:22But first,
23:22you have to give mom
23:23back the blood ring.
23:26Vanessa,
23:26why'd you take it
23:27without telling me?
23:28I was just curious.
23:29I wanted to try it on.
23:30I'll give it back
23:31to her in a bit.
23:32Don't be mad, okay?
23:33Okay?
23:40What was that?
23:47Don't, babe!
23:48What's wrong?
23:49My uncle's in there
23:50catching a rat.
23:54You bitch.
23:55Try to get someone in here
23:56and I'll kill you.
24:00Catching a rat
24:01makes that much noise?
24:03It must have gotten
24:04into the toilet.
24:05He's getting it out!
24:08Damn rat!
24:10Take that!
24:11Scaring my niece!
24:12Babe,
24:13you know rats
24:13terrify me.
24:14If you open that door
24:16and it gets out,
24:16I'll freak.
24:19Okay, okay.
24:20I won't go in.
24:21Don't be scared, baby.
24:23Let's move away from it.
24:25I've got to get Luca
24:26out of here.
24:27Babe,
24:28I want a coffee.
24:29Would you go get me one?
24:31Sure.
24:31I'll go right now.
24:40Finally.
24:47What do we do?
24:48If this blows up,
24:49the Valentines will kill us!
24:56Then she doesn't walk
24:58out that door.
24:58We kill her.
25:01So does that mean
25:01I get to?
25:02Of course.
25:04It's been a long time
25:05since you had a woman,
25:05Uncle.
25:06That's my girl?
25:08After today,
25:10all of New York
25:11will know that you,
25:12Serafina,
25:13are a whore
25:13who rolled around
25:14with some stranger
25:15in the family shrine.
25:17Uncle,
25:17go ahead.
25:20Luca!
25:24The number you have dialed
25:25is temporarily unavailable.
25:27Why isn't Mom picking up?
25:28Is she really that mad?
25:32Whatever.
25:33Coffee for Vanessa first,
25:34then I'll go make up with Mom.
25:37Master Luca,
25:38where's the godmother?
25:39Mom?
25:40Isn't she at home?
25:41Right after you left,
25:42she heard Vanessa
25:43was throwing a party here
25:44with her family
25:44and she came alone.
25:45Now she's not answering her phone.
25:47I'm afraid the coals
25:48will hurt her!
25:49Enzo,
25:50you worry too much.
25:51Vanessa's so sweet,
25:52her family's got to be good people.
25:54Nobody's going to hurt Mom.
25:55Master Luca,
25:56how can you be so blind?
25:58Everyone,
25:58with me!
26:02Something's really wrong.
26:09Still want to run crying to Luca?
26:11Not a chance.
26:13Uncle,
26:13keep going.
26:16Keep going.
26:18Keep going.
26:18Keep going.
26:19A high society lady!
26:21When I'm done with her,
26:22you boys can all have a turn.
26:28Do you know who you're touching?
26:31I'm the godmother
26:32of the Valenti fam!
26:34I don't give a shit
26:35who you are!
26:36I'm having you today.
26:38You two,
26:39hold our hands!
26:48You bitch,
26:49you kicked me?
26:57You bitch,
26:58you bit my finger off!
27:00I'll kill you!
27:11Die!
27:17Godmother!
27:19Mom!
27:39Godmother!
27:40They're getting away!
27:41And we're out of ammo!
27:42Who says we're out?
27:44I'm flying the biggest round we've got.
27:49Godmother!
27:50Godmother,
27:50don't!
27:56She's crazy!
27:58She's taking us all down with her!
28:15Godmother!
28:19Godmother!
28:39Godmother, every last one of them is gone.
28:41We won!
28:47Godmother, Master Luca is getting married.
28:49Which family's daughter?
28:51Not one of the families.
28:54She's from Brooklyn, grew up in foster homes.
29:01Before I knew it, Luca's getting married.
29:08Twenty years ago, Luca's father died for me.
29:18His mother died giving birth to him and now his father's gone too.
29:22What's going to happen to this baby?
29:29From today on, he's my son.
29:38I raised him.
29:39I gave him everything.
29:43I'd have given my life.
29:45Godmother, are you really giving Master Luca your kidney?
29:48He's my son.
29:49If it saves him, what's one kidney?
29:52Will you tell him?
29:53No.
29:54I'm saving my own child.
29:56He doesn't owe me anything.
30:01We don't share blood, but in my heart, he's my own son.
30:08I'm coming home tonight.
30:16Welcome home, Godmother!
30:20Where's Luca?
30:22Master Luca meant to come, but Miss Vanessa sent him out for a cake.
30:25He asked me to take you home first.
30:28Let's go.
30:31Uncle, I'm almost at Luca's.
30:33Once he takes over the family, I'm the godfather's wife.
30:37Every big shot in New York will be jumping when I say so.
30:40Godmother, Miss Vanessa comes from nothing.
30:43She's no match for Master Luca.
30:45Look, it doesn't matter.
30:46I trust his judgment.
30:48As long as he loves her, I'm behind him all the way.
30:54It's okay, honey.
30:59My baby!
31:07Watch out!
31:27My car!
31:32Are you insane?
31:34Where the hell did you come from?
31:36You nearly killed a child.
31:38Nearly.
31:39The kid's fine, isn't it?
31:41My car's not.
31:42You know what this car costs?
31:43Sell you on the black market and you still couldn't pay for one window.
31:46Which matters more, a car or a person?
31:49Be grateful you're not a murderer.
31:51Don't try to scare me.
31:53You want money, right?
31:59Take the money and get out of my way!
32:09Godmother, say the word and I'll have her on her knees apologizing.
32:15Let it go.
32:16Luca's fiancé is waiting.
32:18I'm not wasting time on someone like that.
32:29Godmother, someone of your standing shouldn't be doing this.
32:31It's the first time Luca's brought a girl home.
32:33If I cook for her myself, she'll know she matters.
32:35Oh, the gift?
32:36The French Empress's own necklace.
32:38There isn't another like it in the world.
32:41You're really giving it to a girl you've never met?
32:43As long as she loves Luca, nothing's too precious.
32:50Mum!
32:54You're about to get married and you're still such a kid.
32:59I haven't seen you in forever.
33:01I missed you so much.
33:05Mum, Vanessa's almost here.
33:06She's the kindest girl I've ever met.
33:08She just never had a family, so she's not great with older people.
33:11If she says something wrong, don't be mad at her.
33:14She's not even here yet, and you're already protecting her?
33:18Because I really love her.
33:20Girls as sweet and innocent as her are so rare.
33:24Alright.
33:24Mum, trust your judgement.
33:26You're the best, Mum!
33:27If you chose her, she must be wonderful.
33:31That must be Vanessa.
33:36Hey, sweetheart, you made it!
33:38Mum, this is my fiancé, Vanessa.
33:40It's you.
33:41It's you!
33:45She's Luca's mother?
33:47You want money, right?
33:54Mum? Sweetheart?
33:56You two know each other?
33:58No!
34:00I pissed her off.
34:01What if she won't let me marry Luca?
34:03Okay, let me do this properly.
34:06This is my mother, Serafina.
34:08If she hadn't adopted me, I'd probably have frozen to death on some street in New York.
34:12Adopted? Just the adoptive mom.
34:14Then I've got nothing to worry about.
34:16Look at her. She can't be anybody in the Valenti family.
34:18Vanessa, say hi.
34:20Mrs. Valenti? Hi.
34:22I got this for you.
34:26If Luca loves her, I should support him.
34:29Maybe this morning was a misunderstanding.
34:31Mom, you're the best. Vanessa, say thank you.
34:33Called it. Sucking up to me already.
34:38Thanks. I love it.
34:45Luca, give me the tour?
34:46Yes, ma'am.
34:52I'll watch her a little longer.
34:54Vanessa, it's your first time here. Mom cooked tonight's dinner herself, just for you.
34:59I don't eat rosemary. Leave it out next time.
35:05Uncle, the Valenti's are even richer than I thought. Once I marry in, all of this is ours.
35:15Mom, this lamb's so tender. Try it.
35:21I haven't even started!
35:23Who said you could eat first?
35:30What did you say?
35:31You've got some nerve eating first.
35:34Do you even see me sitting here?
35:36Sweetheart, this one's great too. Try it.
35:38I don't want that one.
35:39The first serving goes to the guest.
35:42You're how old and you still don't know basic manners?
35:48Say that again.
35:50Mom, please don't be mad.
35:52She's just a little hot temple. She doesn't mean anything by it.
35:55Please forgive her.
35:57For Luca. One more time.
36:01If she wants it, give it to her.
36:02Thanks, Mom.
36:04Just like I thought.
36:05She only gets to live here because of Luca.
36:08At least she knows who really runs this house.
36:12Babe, feed me.
36:14Anything you want.
36:21Forget it.
36:22I won't let her come between me and Luca.
36:25I've lost my appetite. You two go ahead.
36:32Luca, come see me in the study later.
36:34We need to talk about your wedding alone.
36:38Okay, Mom.
36:46Luca, she's just your adoptive mom.
36:48Why does she get a say in our wedding?
36:50Don't, Vanessa.
36:52Mom matters a lot to me.
36:53I'm going to see Mom in the study.
36:55Pick any room you like.
37:00Playing the queen just because she's the adoptive mom?
37:02If Luca won't teach you some manners,
37:05I will.
37:11What are you doing?
37:13Oh, it's you.
37:15Who said you could come into my room?
37:17Your room?
37:18I'm Luca's fiance.
37:20This whole house is mine.
37:21I'll sleep wherever I want.
37:26A fossil like you probably doesn't get it.
37:28Girls my age dress a little more open.
37:31Not like you.
37:32Not an ounce of sex appeal.
37:34No wonder no man wants you at your age.
37:36In the Valenti family,
37:38sex appeal isn't a job requirement.
37:40Get out of my room.
37:42Now.
37:42I'm not going anywhere.
37:44This room's mine.
37:47Ooh, what a gorgeous ruby.
37:50Don't touch that.
37:52You say don't?
37:53So I will.
37:58Serafina, you'd pull a gun on me?
37:59I'll have Luca throw you out of this house.
38:03Throw me out?
38:04Let me show you who runs this house.
38:07Someone get in here.
38:10Throw her out.
38:12Didn't you hear ma'am?
38:13Move!
38:14Let go of me!
38:16Serafina, you can't do this to me!
38:17Luca will make you pay!
38:23One more word, and I'll shut you up for good.
38:35I'm Luca's fiance.
38:36You can't do this.
38:38I don't accept you.
38:39Luca! Help! Your mom's trying to kill me!
38:44Mom, what's going on?
38:45Put the gun down!
38:46You're scaring Vanessa!
38:52Babe, your mom looks down on me.
38:54She thinks I'm too low-class for you.
38:56She hit me, and she had the servants throw me out!
38:59I told you to pick a room.
39:01Why are you in Mom's room?
39:04Luca, did you tell her she could take my room?
39:07Mom, I swear I didn't.
39:08I never told her to touch your room!
39:15Sweetheart, I said any room except this one, didn't I?
39:18I just wanted a big room.
39:20You know, I never had a room of my own growing up.
39:23Mom's room is the biggest.
39:24I loved it so much.
39:27I'm sorry, sweetheart.
39:28I didn't think about what you needed.
39:30I shouldn't have snapped.
39:31It's not your fault.
39:34Mom, I'll have someone clean up the room.
39:36Please don't be mad at Vanessa, okay?
39:38And if I say no?
39:40Luca's the head of this house!
39:42Who are you to defy the future godfather?
39:45I'm his mother.
39:49Hey, Mom.
39:50She's young.
39:51She doesn't know any better.
39:52Don't stoop to her level.
39:54Luca, are you sure you want to marry someone like this?
39:57He's my fiancé!
39:59Don't try to turn him against me!
40:00He was my son before he was ever your fiancé.
40:04Mom, please.
40:06Forgive Vanessa.
40:06She just never had anyone love her.
40:08She didn't mean to disrespect you.
40:13Never being loved doesn't give her the right to run wild in front of me.
40:17The future godfather's wife can't be someone like this.
40:19Mom, give us one more chance, please.
40:21I'll make sure she behaves.
40:24I'm sorry.
40:25I was wrong.
40:26Mom, she apologized!
40:27Please forgive her!
40:32Fine.
40:33I'll give you one chance.
40:35Teach her some manners.
40:36If she provokes me again, she'll answer to Valenti family law.
40:47An adoptive mom threatening me with family law?
40:51Dream on.
41:04Serafina.
41:05Open it.
41:07The blood ring?
41:08This is the godfather's ring.
41:10You're giving it to me?
41:11The Valenti family is yours now.
41:13One day, when you find someone worthy, pass the ring to them.
41:17The Valenti line must never be broken.
41:20Father, I understand.
41:31Father, is the Luca of today fit to wear the Valenti ring?
41:37Godmother, is the wound bothering you again?
41:39No.
41:39It just itches when the seasons change.
41:42I tried to talk you out of it back then.
41:45It's alright.
41:46If I had to do it again, I'd make the same choice.
41:52Have someone look into who Vanessa was seeing before she met Luca.
41:56Yes, godmother.
42:11The blood ring's gone.
42:13Enzo!
42:15Ma'am?
42:16Pull the security footage.
42:32You'd lay hands on the family's blood ring?
42:36Vanessa, you've got some nerve.
42:39Tell Luca to get in here.
42:41Now.
42:44Mum, what happened?
42:46Your fiancé crept into my studio in the middle of the night and stole the family's blood ring.
42:50No way!
42:51Vanessa's not like that!
42:55Mom, there's gotta be some misunderstanding.
42:58She was probably just messing around.
43:01The Valenti blood ring is a toy to you two?
43:04Luca?
43:05Get her back here and get my ring back.
43:08And then...
43:08And then what?
43:13Mom, please.
43:14Don't handle her the family way.
43:17Luca, you're the next godfather of the Valenti family.
43:20And you're on your knees?
43:22For a thief?
43:23Mom, you don't know what she did for me.
43:25What?
43:25Three years ago, when my kidneys failed and I was dying, Vanessa went to the hospital, got tested, and gave
43:31me one of hers.
43:32The Valenti family always pays its debts.
43:35I owe her.
43:37I'll never be able to pay her back!
43:41But the one who saved you was...
43:44Mom, give me one more chance.
43:47I'll go find Vanessa right now and make her give it back.
43:54The one who saved you was me.
43:58I gave him that kidney.
44:00Why does Luca think it was Vanessa?
44:04I have to find out.
44:06Ma'am!
44:08Trouble.
44:08Vanessa's thrown a party at the Ancestral House with a whole crowd of her relatives!
44:12What?
44:14That's where every Valenti Don is laid to rest, the most sacred ground this family has.
44:18How dare she bring people there?
44:20I'm going.
44:21Vanessa, I gave you your chance.
44:33Holy crap!
44:34One bottle of this is three months rent!
44:36One of these pearls would feed us for a year!
44:40Yeah!
44:42She told me not to touch it.
44:44I'm not just touching it, I'm wearing it.
44:47See this?
44:48The blood ring.
44:50The symbol of the Valenti Godfather.
44:54Oh my god, I've only ever seen this ring on the news!
44:56Vanessa!
44:58You've made it!
45:00An adoptive mother hogging the blood ring?
45:03Please, I'm the future lady of the Valenti family.
45:07The ring of power belongs to me.
45:10All hail the queen!
45:17Vanessa, my girl, they've got some nice stuff in this place.
45:20Okay, if we take a few things home?
45:22Take whatever you want.
45:24Don't be shy.
45:26Don't be shy!
45:28Don't be shy!
45:33Vanessa Valenti has a nice ring to it.
45:40Who's there?
45:48Serafina?
45:56Vanessa, every Valenti Don lies at rest in this house.
46:02What are you?
46:04That you think you can stand here?
