Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Hello there, lovely. I am Cleopatra. I'm here to see the Adelina.
00:00:09Do you have an appointment with the Adelina?
00:00:12Um, no, but I do have some designs I'm sure she would love to take a look at.
00:00:18Come back when you have an appointment and stop wasting my time.
00:00:22Look, I really need to sell these designs and I know Adelina will love them. Please, I just need a minute.
00:00:29Lisa, I don't have time for this. Just use the door while I still email.
00:00:43Hey, stop!
00:00:45Miss Adelina, I just need a moment from you. I promise I won't waste your time.
00:00:50I'm so sorry. I tried to stop her.
00:00:52Um, close the door.
00:00:54So, what can I help you with?
00:00:56Um...
00:00:57Sit.
00:00:58Well, my name is Cleopatra and...
00:01:03Well, I have these designs I really need to sell and I think it would be worth if you took a look at them.
00:01:16These...
00:01:20These are beautiful.
00:01:23Cleopatra, did you say?
00:01:25Yeah.
00:01:26Why would you want to just sell these? I could... I could give you a job. You could work here with me.
00:01:34No, uh, thank you Miss Adelina. I... I really could use the money more than I could use a job right now.
00:01:42Please help me.
00:01:43I really don't want you to waste your talent, but I will buy these.
00:01:48Yeah.
00:01:49If you ever want a job, just reach out. The offer is always open.
00:01:53Thank you. Thank you, Miss Adelina. I hope to see you again, Cleopatra.
00:02:02Absolutely, Pasquale. Do things the best way, okay? And make sure that...
00:02:08Watch where you're going.
00:02:10You watch where you're going.
00:02:13I bet your upbringing was... rough.
00:02:17It really was rough. What makes you say that?
00:02:21Because you're being so rude. You bumped into me.
00:02:24Ah, pretty face. You clearly bumped into me. What would you like me to do now, by the way?
00:02:30Okay, asshole. Apologize!
00:02:34Apologize? You bumped into me and you want me to apologize to you?
00:02:39Yeah.
00:02:40Alessandra apologizes to nobody.
00:02:43What do you mean you don't apologize?
00:02:45It means I am not going to apologize. What are you going to do?
00:02:50Look, I bumped into this girl.
00:02:52Cleopatra takes shit from no one.
00:02:54She's totally crazy and she just bumped...
00:03:00We'll meet again, pretty face.
00:03:05Hey, Salvatore, come in.
00:03:08Yes.
00:03:10Please, take a seat.
00:03:11Thanks, boss.
00:03:13Try this vino. This here, my uncle, he surpassed himself. This is so good.
00:03:21That's a good wine.
00:03:22Is it?
00:03:23Yeah.
00:03:24Do you know why you're here, Salvatore?
00:03:26No, boss.
00:03:28You don't, don't you?
00:03:29No.
00:03:31Well, I invited you in, Salvatore. I wanted to talk to you.
00:03:34Okay.
00:03:36How dare you? How dare you steal him from me?
00:03:41No one steals from the boss.
00:03:43Please, have mercy on me, boss. Please.
00:03:47Please, I wasn't thinking straight.
00:03:58You only have the benefits of being this family's consigliere, Salvatore. Nothing else.
00:04:03You know the rules.
00:04:04Yes, boss. Yes, yes. I'll have the money to you, okay? No matter what.
00:04:07No matter what.
00:04:09And now do you think you're going to pay me back?
00:04:12Boss, give me some time. I need to sell some properties and I promise I'll have the money to you, okay?
00:04:22I give you three days.
00:04:25Three days. No more. Get out.
00:04:29Thanks, boss. I'll be back with the money, okay?
00:04:31Get out.
00:04:38Donna, Donna, please help me. I need your help. I'm in big trouble with the boss.
00:04:44What is it this time, Salvatore? You are always getting into trouble.
00:04:48Please, just help me this one time and I promise I won't be trouble ever again.
00:04:53Well, what is it? I can't help you until you tell me what you've done.
00:04:58Start talking.
00:05:00I may have stolen some money from the boss. Please, Donna, help me. I've got no way of paying it back.
00:05:06You know the rules, Salvatore. You don't steal from the Don himself.
00:05:11I know, Donna, but please help me. This will be the last time. Promise.
00:05:18I have an idea, but I'm not sure how you'll take it.
00:05:23I'll do anything, Donna. Anything.
00:05:27I've been searching for a wife for Alessandro, but I haven't found one that fit in there.
00:05:34Okay.
00:05:39I know Cleopatra will be a perfect match for him.
00:05:44Go home and talk to her, and depending on what she decides, if she agrees, your debt will be wiped off automatically.
00:05:54Well, that's a very generous offer, Donna.
00:05:57Yes, it is. So go home and let me know her answer tomorrow.
00:06:02Thank you, Donna. Thank you so much. I'll be back tomorrow with an answer, okay? I'll go now.
00:06:08I'll expect you tomorrow.
00:06:16Cleopatra!
00:06:19Cleopatra!
00:06:22Where the hell is that girl?
00:06:24Cleopatra, where are you?
00:06:25Cleopatra, where are you?
00:06:31Thank goodness you're here. I've been looking all over for you. Where have you been?
00:06:35I just went for a walk. What do you need me for?
00:06:38Cleopatra, you need to save the family.
00:06:41What are you talking about, Salvatore?
00:06:44We're in debt, Cleopatra, and now my life is at stake.
00:06:47Well, that's funny, because I don't remember spending any money with you. I know we don't have any money, so how is your debt my problem?
00:06:53Look, the money was spent on something important, alright?
00:06:57How was it? What exactly did you spend that money on?
00:07:00Look, stop questioning me, Cleopatra.
00:07:02No, you know what? I deserve to know what's going on.
00:07:07I said stop questioning me! Now you prepare yourself to go out with me tomorrow, alright? We have some people to meet.
00:07:16Yes, Father.
00:07:18Good girl.
00:07:23Good girl.
00:07:42Alessandro, come.
00:07:54Marriage is essential for you to reach your full potential.
00:07:58I don't want to have this conversation right now.
00:08:01But why do you deny my chance to see grandchildren?
00:08:05Look, Donna, I cannot give a woman what you and your husband had. I just can't love anyone.
00:08:14But you'll think differently when you're married.
00:08:16I hate the idea of spending the rest of my life with some strange woman I don't even know.
00:08:22But the Don needs a wife.
00:08:24And you're right. I am the Don. So no one tells me what to do.
00:08:30But that's the rule, and you can't bend the rules, Alessandro. The Mafia needs their Donna.
00:08:37And what if I don't do it? What's going to happen? Will I get replaced?
00:08:40Alessandro Moretti.
00:08:41Alright, alright, fine. I'll do it.
00:08:46I've been speaking to Salvatore.
00:08:50Salvatore?
00:08:52Yes, he has a beautiful daughter. And I wish for you to marry her.
00:08:57Well, I see you have her already all planned out.
00:09:00She's quite a beauty, and I'm sure you'll like her.
00:09:03Whatever, whatever. Let me see her.
00:09:08Whatever, whatever. Let me see her tomorrow and I will decide if I really want to do this.
00:09:14Of course. I'll call Salvatore immediately and inform him.
00:09:18But for now, you go and freshen up. I've made your favourite dinner.
00:09:23Thank you, Marlene.
00:09:26Grazie.
00:09:34Freedom, here I come.
00:09:37Cleopatra.
00:09:45Cleopatra.
00:09:48Running away won't solve anything.
00:09:51Okay, look, I remember you, but I don't think we were this close.
00:09:55No, cara mia. You can't avoid your fate.
00:09:58Now you're coming with me.
00:10:01Let go of me.
00:10:03No, Cleopatra. You're coming with me as you're now betrothed to me.
00:10:05You must be delusional, man.
00:10:07Yes, I must be delusional if I'm here in the street with you doing this.
00:10:11Let go of me. I have a flight to catch.
00:10:14What are you doing?
00:10:28No, I did not sign up for any of this.
00:10:32Why are you doing this to me? I don't even know you.
00:10:38Look, Cleopatra, your father has some debt to pay, and apparently your weight is only weighed out of it.
00:10:47So, this is about Salvatore's debt.
00:10:51That is right.
00:10:56Well, what about my plans?
00:10:58Cleopatra, I wish it wasn't like this. I never planned any of this for either of us.
00:11:18Get out.
00:11:20The only place I'm going is the airport.
00:11:23Get out.
00:11:24Cheng, grab her bags.
00:11:40What is this place?
00:11:43This is my home.
00:11:46You're meeting my mother tomorrow morning for breakfast.
00:11:48And what happens if I don't want to be there?
00:11:51Well, she wants to meet you to discuss our wedding.
00:11:56What makes you think I want to marry you?
00:11:59Your fate is sealed with me, Cleo.
00:12:03You don't get to call me that. I don't even know your name.
00:12:07I don't know your name.
00:12:09I don't know your name.
00:12:11I don't know your name.
00:12:13I don't know your name.
00:12:15I don't know your name.
00:12:17I don't know your name.
00:12:25This is your room.
00:12:28You can stay here tonight.
00:12:30First thing tomorrow morning I will send a beautiful new dress for you to wear at breakfast so you can meet my mother.
00:12:38And by the way, I'm Alessandra.
00:12:44Sleep well.
00:12:47Sleep well.
00:12:50Alessandra.
00:12:52The Don.
00:12:57What has my father done this time?
00:13:06Cleopatra, my dear. Welcome to our home. I am so glad you are here.
00:13:11Thank you so much, Donna.
00:13:13Thank you for the privilege, Donna.
00:13:16I hope you had a good night's sleep, my dear.
00:13:19Yes, I did. Thank you.
00:13:21Come through.
00:13:26Come and sit down and we can wait for Alessandra to join us.
00:13:30Thank you, Donna.
00:13:32Oh, come on. You can call me mother now.
00:13:37Okay. Thank you, mother.
00:13:40I'm so happy to have you here as my daughter-in-law.
00:13:44You're just the right person for my son.
00:13:48So, Donna, has my debt been cleared yet or what?
00:13:51Oh, come on, Salvatore. Read the book. We can discuss this later.
00:13:56Cleo, darling, I'm just so glad that you're here and thank you for agreeing to this.
00:14:05Don!
00:14:06Cleo, what say after this meal we go shopping for some dresses for the engagement party later with the family?
00:14:14Okay.
00:14:17Yeah, that sounds like a really good idea.
00:14:19Hey, Salvatore.
00:14:21Let the girl speak for herself.
00:14:24I'll go dress shopping with you, mother.
00:14:27That's wonderful. Let's settle. Let's just eat this meal and we can leave after then.
00:14:32Make sure you get whatever you need today. The wedding is in two days.
00:14:37Two days? That's way too fast.
00:14:43I couldn't care less, seeing that we're not getting married for love anyway.
00:14:48Sandra.
00:14:52Cleo, darling, could you look at me?
00:14:55I promise that this wedding will be the best wedding ever. I promise you.
00:15:04Oh, Cleo, darling, come in.
00:15:06Yes, Donna mentioned that you'd be coming in today. We are going to make today so special for you, okay?
00:15:13Thank you, Miss Adelina.
00:15:15You have nothing to worry about. And I just knew that I would be seeing you again.
00:15:19Now, this is one of your creations and I would love you to have it. A gift for your special day.
00:15:28Adelina, it's beautiful.
00:15:32Well, you did design it.
00:15:33But I sold you these designs. I couldn't passively.
00:15:37I would love you to have it, okay? I understand, but you deserve it.
00:15:42I want you to feel so special today.
00:15:47Have you thought any more about that collaboration offer?
00:15:50To be honest, Adelina, I'm just not sure.
00:15:54That's okay. We don't need to decide now. Let us go and try on the dress.
00:15:59To family harmony.
00:16:01To the family, my dears.
00:16:03Salute, Atulji.
00:16:05Come on, everyone. Up and dance. Come on. Go and get your wife and dance.
00:16:13Oh, my God.
00:16:15Oh, my God.
00:16:17Oh, my God.
00:16:19Oh, my God.
00:16:21Oh, my God.
00:16:23Oh, my God.
00:16:25Oh, my God.
00:16:27Alessandro, why are we doing this?
00:16:31Look, I don't want to do this either, okay?
00:16:34I just can't wait for this dance to be over already.
00:16:37Why did you even decide to marry me? Clearly, you don't like me.
00:16:42It's not you, Cleopatra, that I don't like. I just... I can't love any woman.
00:16:48Why get married at all?
00:16:51I'm only doing it for my family's sake, which you are now a part of.
00:16:56What about you? What do you want?
00:16:59Family comes first.
00:17:01Why drag me into this?
00:17:04Enough, woman. Ask your father these questions.
00:17:08Geez, I didn't realize you were so sensitive.
00:17:15I see you have a big personality. Let's see what that'll answer.
00:17:21You're no fun, Alessandro.
00:17:27Do not mess with me.
00:17:36Tisdale?
00:17:49Where am I?
00:17:52Oh, Donna.
00:17:53Come, Cleopatra. Let me show you to your room.
00:17:56Thank you, Donna.
00:17:58Here it is. You'll find everything you need right here.
00:18:03Thank you, Donna.
00:18:17So, where should I go?
00:18:21Where should I go, Alessandro?
00:18:26You can sleep on the couch, if you like.
00:18:30But we're married.
00:18:35Yes, we are. For a time.
00:18:43You know, I may be new to this life, but I'm not going to play by your stupid rules.
00:18:49You are crazier than I thought, you know that?
00:18:53You can sleep on the couch. I am not.
00:19:19Here she is. The blushing bride.
00:19:23How was your first night, my darling?
00:19:26It was an interesting experience.
00:19:30Cleopatra, please elaborate. I'd like to know everything.
00:19:34Well, it was amazing. Your son is very romantic.
00:19:40Really? And how was the intimacy?
00:19:44Let's just say Alessandro is a talented man.
00:19:49Cleopatra, you do have a way with words.
00:19:53I strive to please, Donna.
00:19:56Tell me a little bit more about the romance and the passion.
00:20:00Donna, something should be kept between a husband and a wife.
00:20:05Fair enough. She wants to keep her secrets to herself.
00:20:09Just know that we're embarking on this new adventure together.
00:20:14Buongiorno, principessa.
00:20:17Madre, good morning.
00:20:20Ah, this is my favorite.
00:20:24So it sounds like I am a romantic, huh?
00:20:29Mother, I'm sorry.
00:20:32It's okay.
00:20:34You're a romantic, huh?
00:20:37Mother, can you deal with him?
00:20:40Well, I can't. I'm here when I'm overheard.
00:20:44Oh, God.
00:20:46Alessandro, how was your first night with your wife?
00:20:50Madre, a gentleman never kisses and tells.
00:20:54For once, I agree with you.
00:20:59Adelina!
00:21:00Cleopatra, my dear.
00:21:03It is so wonderful to see you.
00:21:06And look at that ring. Is that sapphire?
00:21:10Gorgeous.
00:21:12I just wanted to come by and thank you again for the dress.
00:21:17It was stunning. It was nothing.
00:21:20It was the least that I could do for such a talent as you.
00:21:24So tell me, how is married life going?
00:21:28It's taking some time to get used to.
00:21:32Alessandro is such a piece of work.
00:21:36Adjustments can be difficult.
00:21:40Especially in this world.
00:21:43But you know that you always have a friend in me if you need to talk to someone, okay?
00:21:48Thank you, Adelina. Truly.
00:21:51It's just...
00:21:52Alessandro is nothing like what I thought he'd be.
00:21:58It's always hard when people that we love turn out to be different to how we thought.
00:22:06Yeah.
00:22:09Your gown. It...
00:22:12It was amazing. It made me feel like a queen, even if it was just for the night.
00:22:16Well, you designed it.
00:22:18And you deserve to feel like that every day, Cleo.
00:22:22You do. You really do.
00:22:26So, I hope you're not wasting this talent of yours. What are your plans?
00:22:32Plans? I have zero clue what I'm doing.
00:22:37How did you make all this happen?
00:22:41It was... challenging, to say the least.
00:22:45But I'll tell you something, Cleo.
00:22:48Beauty is not about the clothes that we wear. That's part of it.
00:22:55But it's also about the way that we carry ourselves.
00:23:02You're... you're right.
00:23:05And...
00:23:08I want to work with you, Adelina. I want to work with you so bad.
00:23:12I want to work with you, Adelina. I want to work with you so bad.
00:23:16But, Cleo, that makes me so happy to hear, but you need to talk to your husband, okay?
00:23:22Tell him your dreams. Show him your designs. And he might surprise you, okay?
00:23:28You hold your head up high.
00:23:31Thanks, Adelina.
00:23:38Who's this?
00:23:39Congratulations on your recent marriage, Alessandro. What a happy event.
00:23:47Cut the pleasantries. What do you want?
00:23:50I just thought you should know happiness can't last forever. Watch your back, Don Alessandro.
00:23:59Whoever you are, you just made a grave mistake.
00:24:03Oh, I'm sure we'll be in touch, Don Alessandro.
00:24:08Who are you?
00:24:10I'll leave you to figure that out. Oh, I almost forgot. Tell Cleo the color yellow looks good on her.
00:24:26Cleopatra.
00:24:28Alessandro.
00:24:30Hey.
00:24:32Are... are you okay?
00:24:33Yeah. Yes, I'm okay. Just business. Nothing to concern you.
00:24:39Are you sure?
00:24:41Yes. Yes, I have it under control. Don't worry.
00:24:45Okay. Goodnight.
00:24:47Goodnight.
00:24:55What do you want, Salvatore?
00:24:57What do you want, Salvatore?
00:24:59My dear Cleopatra. My dear stepdaughter. Always straight to the point. Take a seat.
00:25:11Now, you know you're very lucky that you married into such a wealthy family.
00:25:16What do you want from me?
00:25:19Thing is, I have some debts that need settling.
00:25:22And I thought that maybe with your newfound wealth, you could help out dear old Salvatore.
00:25:29You've got to be kidding me. You're the reason I'm in this mess in the first place.
00:25:34You watch your tone there, Cleopatra. Family help family out, okay? It's a simple concept.
00:25:40Family? You've never been my family. You've never even cared about me.
00:25:46You may have married into wealth, but never forget where you came from.
00:25:50Now, I need you to get me that money.
00:25:53I don't have any money. Alessandro has the money. You left me penniless, remember?
00:26:01I remember. Yeah, I remember.
00:26:04Get the money from your husband then.
00:26:08I don't have access to his money.
00:26:12You're lying. Stop lying. You get me that money. I need that money. Get it to me quickly.
00:26:18Cleopatra, my dear, are you all right?
00:26:22I'm okay, Donna. I'm just exhausted.
00:26:27Darling, I'm here if you need me, all right?
00:26:37Alessandro.
00:26:39Yes?
00:26:41Alessandro, don't just stand there.
00:26:44What would you like me to do, Mother?
00:26:46Go to your wife. Look. Look.
00:26:50I'm doing some work.
00:26:52Alessandro.
00:26:54All right. Fine. Fine. I'll do it.
00:26:57Cleopatra, how do you do?
00:26:59I'm fine.
00:27:01Do you think we've made enough?
00:27:03Do you think we've made enough money?
00:27:05I don't know.
00:27:06We've done everything we could.
00:27:09You said you were doing a lot of work.
00:27:12Yeah, but even if we had, we wouldn't have made enough.
00:27:15And I don't know.
00:27:17Yes, we can make more money.
00:27:25We can.
00:27:27Have you been thinking about our collaboration?
00:27:29I, um...
00:27:31Cleo?
00:27:33Are you okay?
00:27:37I'm just having a really hard day.
00:27:43I'm so sorry.
00:27:45Um...
00:27:47Can we talk about this tomorrow?
00:27:51Of course, whatever you need.
00:27:53I'll just be at the fashion house, so...
00:27:55Come by whenever you're ready to chat, okay?
00:27:57Thanks.
00:28:09Cleopatra, is that you?
00:28:13Um, yeah.
00:28:15Oh, come here, darling! It is so good to see you!
00:28:19How... Cleo?
00:28:21What's happened to your face?
00:28:23It's... It's just an accident.
00:28:25Don't... Don't worry about it.
00:28:27Accident? That... That doesn't look like an accident.
00:28:29What aren't you telling me?
00:28:31Did...
00:28:33Did Alessandro do this to you?
00:28:35No, no! Alessandro would never.
00:28:37It was just an accident. Let's drop it.
00:28:39I need to know that you are okay.
00:28:41I'm fine.
00:28:43Who did this?
00:28:45You can tell me. It's safe.
00:28:49It was...
00:28:51It was my stepfather.
00:28:53Salvatore?
00:28:55Salvatore. And he's...
00:28:57He's been asking for money,
00:28:59and when I didn't give him any,
00:29:01he got violent at me.
00:29:03Why is he asking
00:29:05you for money?
00:29:07Well...
00:29:09When I was younger, he...
00:29:13He married my mother after my father
00:29:15passed away, and...
00:29:17Now that
00:29:19she's gone too,
00:29:21he started drinking,
00:29:23and...
00:29:25He's a really angry drunk.
00:29:27Cleo, I had
00:29:29no idea. I'm so sorry.
00:29:31And...
00:29:33He just keeps demanding
00:29:35this money, and
00:29:37threatening me, and I...
00:29:39I just don't know what to do anymore.
00:29:43Well...
00:29:45You always can come
00:29:47here. You can always talk
00:29:49to me, okay? You don't
00:29:51have to hide anything, and you don't
00:29:53have to go this alone.
00:29:55You don't have to go through this
00:29:57alone, okay? Look at me.
00:29:59We're in this together, okay?
00:30:01It'll be okay.
00:30:05Thank you. Uh...
00:30:07I guess I just need
00:30:09someone to understand.
00:30:11I'm always here for you.
00:30:15And I think I have something that might
00:30:17help you feel a little bit better.
00:30:19I thought that
00:30:21this could be the start of our new collection
00:30:23together.
00:30:25It's
00:30:27beautiful. You're so talented.
00:30:29Oh, well, I think with
00:30:31the two of us working on it, that we
00:30:33could make something wonderful for
00:30:35all the world to see.
00:30:37I can't wait to make
00:30:39more designs for this collection.
00:30:41You have such great talent, Cleo.
00:30:43Remember that, okay?
00:30:45Thank you,
00:30:47Avelino.
00:30:49I'm so proud of you.
00:30:59No, no,
00:31:01no.
00:31:03Don't bother. Hey.
00:31:05Don't bother.
00:31:07I won't do it again. Hey, darling.
00:31:09Shh, it's okay.
00:31:11It's okay. It's just a dream.
00:31:13It's just a dream.
00:31:15It's me.
00:31:17Alessandro felt so real.
00:31:19I know. I know.
00:31:21It's okay. I got you.
00:31:23It's just a dream.
00:31:25Okay?
00:31:29It felt so real.
00:31:31I know.
00:31:33It's only a dream. You're gonna be okay.
00:31:35Okay?
00:31:37Okay. Go back to sleep.
00:31:39Please don't leave me.
00:31:41No, I'll be here. I'll be here.
00:31:55Buongiorno.
00:31:57Hey.
00:31:59Good morning, Alessandro.
00:32:01Good morning to you, Cleopatra.
00:32:03Did you sleep well?
00:32:05I did, actually.
00:32:09I'm glad.
00:32:13So,
00:32:15what is the weirdest dream
00:32:17you've ever had?
00:32:19Weirdest dream?
00:32:21Um...
00:32:23Well,
00:32:25I had this dream that I was, like,
00:32:27floating on a cloud of
00:32:29cotton candy. That was
00:32:31pretty weird.
00:32:33It's funny you say that.
00:32:35Mine was the same,
00:32:37but on a giant pizza slice.
00:32:39Of course it was.
00:32:41Okay, okay.
00:32:43Your turn.
00:32:45What's the weirdest thing you've done
00:32:47when you thought no one was watching?
00:32:49Ooh.
00:32:51Okay, I got this one.
00:32:53I was once dancing
00:32:55salsa in the kitchen while making
00:32:57pasta.
00:32:59That's weird.
00:33:01So weird. Don't ask me why.
00:33:03I don't even know why that happened.
00:33:05Ah, well,
00:33:07I better go finish now.
00:33:09Of course.
00:33:15Hmm.
00:33:17So, how did you two sleep last night?
00:33:19Very well,
00:33:21thank you.
00:33:23Ooh, love is a beautiful thing,
00:33:25isn't it?
00:33:27Oh, Mother, please.
00:33:29Oh, come on, and don't forget to eat.
00:33:31Now, Cleopatra,
00:33:33I have a little surprise for you this morning.
00:33:35A surprise?
00:33:37Mm-hmm.
00:33:39A shopping spree!
00:33:41Oh. Oh, Donna,
00:33:43you really don't have to...
00:33:45Oh, nonsense. Every girl deserves
00:33:47to go on a shopping spree.
00:33:49Alessandra, you've got some time to take it
00:33:51today, don't you?
00:33:53Well, I actually have some work I have to attend to.
00:33:55Nonsense.
00:33:57Work can wait.
00:33:59Spend some time with your wife.
00:34:01You two deserve to have some time together.
00:34:03Well, I'm guessing a few hours won't hurt.
00:34:07It's settled.
00:34:09Have a lovely day, you two.
00:34:11Grazie, Mother.
00:34:15Alessandra, today has been
00:34:17amazing.
00:34:19It really has.
00:34:21I'm glad you had your time.
00:34:23I can't believe that gown is
00:34:25going to be mine.
00:34:27It is annoying that your size wasn't
00:34:29available, but Pasquale will
00:34:31pick one up, and he will bring it to the house.
00:34:33Alessandra, you're
00:34:35surprisingly really good at this.
00:34:37Well, I do have
00:34:39an eye for quality.
00:34:41Excuse me.
00:34:47Hello?
00:34:49Alessandra, my friend,
00:34:51Cleopatra looks good in that
00:34:53denim dress.
00:34:55Who are you? Where are I?
00:34:57Your choice of boutiques
00:34:59is impeccable, and Cleopatra's
00:35:01taste is
00:35:03exquisite. But remember,
00:35:05elegance can be deceiving.
00:35:07Enjoy your day,
00:35:09Alessandra.
00:35:11Alessandra,
00:35:13who was that? What are they talking
00:35:15about?
00:35:17I don't want to know about that.
00:35:19Someone who likes playing games,
00:35:21apparently.
00:35:23But don't worry, we'll figure this out
00:35:25together, amore.
00:35:31What are you doing
00:35:33here? Cleopatra,
00:35:35my dear.
00:35:37You seem to have done well for yourself.
00:35:39Thank you,
00:35:41Salvatore. I don't get
00:35:43smart. How long before
00:35:45I get my money?
00:35:49Don't get
00:35:51cocky, alright? Salvatore?
00:35:53Now where's the rest of the money?
00:35:55Oh, my dear girl,
00:35:57I've missed you so much.
00:35:59Come in. The table is set.
00:36:05Salvatore, it's been too long.
00:36:07I'm glad you could join us.
00:36:09Thank you, Donna. It's a pleasure being here
00:36:11again. It's beautiful. Cleopatra,
00:36:13is everything okay?
00:36:15Of course, Alessandro.
00:36:17I'm just a bit tired.
00:36:21So, boss, how's business
00:36:23going? Ah, Salvatore,
00:36:25Salvatore. That is not
00:36:27your concern. Watch what you say.
00:36:29Alessandro,
00:36:31behave.
00:36:37Well, thank you all
00:36:39for the lovely dinner. I'll be back
00:36:41next time.
00:36:43You have two days to get my money.
00:36:45Leave.
00:36:51Leave.
00:37:09Pronto. Boss,
00:37:11your wife was involved in an accident.
00:37:13What happened?
00:37:15She fell at Adelinda's fashion house.
00:37:17She is...
00:37:23You really must be more careful, Cleo.
00:37:25Adelinda. Fashion can be
00:37:27a battlefield. It's just
00:37:29a sprain. Let's not get dramatic.
00:37:35Alessandro
00:37:37again.
00:37:39Alessandro's fashion rescue,
00:37:41how may I assist you?
00:37:43Is Cleopatra okay?
00:37:45I've been trying to reach her. What happened?
00:37:47She is fine.
00:37:49Give me the phone.
00:37:51You're not in shining armor.
00:37:53Yeah, Alessandro, I don't know what
00:37:55Adelinda's been telling you, but I'm
00:37:57fine. She's taking good care of me.
00:38:01She's fine.
00:38:03But hurry, your damsel
00:38:05awaits.
00:38:08You're ridiculous.
00:38:10Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
00:38:12Now let's look at this ankle.
00:38:16Just keep icing it.
00:38:20And this is the restaurant
00:38:22I was telling you about. Please come through.
00:38:24Wow.
00:38:26A special place
00:38:28for a very special woman.
00:38:30Thank you, Alessandro.
00:38:32This place is beautiful.
00:38:34I'm glad you like it.
00:38:38Oh, and if you
00:38:40are unsure, I would
00:38:42highly recommend the lasagna.
00:38:44It's my favorite.
00:38:46I'll have to take you up on that.
00:38:51Are you...
00:38:53Are you nervous, Cara?
00:38:55A little.
00:38:57This is actually my first date
00:38:59ever.
00:39:01Your first date?
00:39:03I'm on it.
00:39:09Oh, please.
00:39:13Thank you, please.
00:39:17It's a very, very
00:39:19authentic recipe.
00:39:26Tell me something about
00:39:28yourself, something that I don't know
00:39:30yet.
00:39:32Well, this
00:39:34is my first date
00:39:36ever, but I've
00:39:38always dreamed of moments like this.
00:39:42Now you are living
00:39:44the dream.
00:39:56This lasagna is amazing.
00:39:58You have
00:40:00excellent taste.
00:40:10I really
00:40:12love the fashion industry,
00:40:14but sometimes
00:40:16it's a lot of pressure. It's really fast-paced
00:40:18and it's just too much.
00:40:20I totally agree.
00:40:22It's a rough world out there.
00:40:24Tell me about it.
00:40:26I love a nice
00:40:28chess game. What I
00:40:30don't like is when people
00:40:32betray their family.
00:40:34Wait, wait, wait. You
00:40:36play chess?
00:40:38I do.
00:40:40And if you allow me,
00:40:42I play very well, too.
00:40:44Sure.
00:40:46Thank you
00:40:48for this beautiful date,
00:40:50Alessandro.
00:40:52The pleasure is mine.
00:40:54And there will be many
00:40:56more dates to come
00:40:58in the future.
00:41:00To us.
00:41:02To us.
00:41:14Alessandro,
00:41:16are you okay?
00:41:18I've been receiving ominous messages, Cleopatra.
00:41:20Messages? But why?
00:41:22You have to
00:41:24understand, in our world,
00:41:26people just existing
00:41:28can be a threat to other families.
00:41:30And that compromises the balance
00:41:32of power between rivals.
00:41:34These messages, what do they say?
00:41:36Warnings.
00:41:38They've been watching us.
00:41:40We can't let them intimidate us,
00:41:42Alessandro. What do we do?
00:41:44We stick together.
00:41:46But we have
00:41:48to be extra cautious.
00:41:50I...
00:41:52I knew entering your world
00:41:54would be difficult and dangerous,
00:41:56but I won't let fear
00:41:58dictate our lives.
00:42:00My immediate associates
00:42:02are all fine and clean.
00:42:04But you have to be careful,
00:42:06even with the people you trust.
00:42:10Alessandro,
00:42:12let them come.
00:42:14We won't back down.
00:42:16The wrong thing
00:42:18is the wrong family
00:42:20to mess with.
00:42:42I, uh,
00:42:44brought you the money.
00:42:46Ah.
00:42:48My dear Cleopatra.
00:42:50Always so resourceful.
00:42:52There...
00:42:54There should be enough in there.
00:42:56Can we put this behind us, please?
00:43:00The money needs to keep flowing
00:43:02like a river, not just
00:43:04drops into my hands.
00:43:06You're not out of the woods yet.
00:43:08I'm trying my best, Salvatore.
00:43:10I need more time.
00:43:12You know, time
00:43:14is a luxury that I just can't afford.
00:43:18Why do you have to be like this?
00:43:20You know,
00:43:22my mother would be turning
00:43:24in her grave if she saw how you've been
00:43:26treating me.
00:43:28This is the nature
00:43:30of our agreement, okay?
00:43:32Don't you forget it!
00:43:34Now do better next time,
00:43:36because the money needs to keep coming,
00:43:38needs to keep flowing.
00:43:40Now get out of here.
00:43:44...
00:43:56...
00:43:58...
00:44:12Where have you been?
00:44:14Do you realize how worried I was?
00:44:16I'm sorry,
00:44:18Salvatore. I...
00:44:20I'm sorry, Alessandro.
00:44:22I lost track of time.
00:44:24Are you okay?
00:44:26You look like
00:44:28you've been through hell. What's happening?
00:44:32I went to Salvatore's
00:44:34to give him the money,
00:44:36but I wasn't satisfied.
00:44:38Hey,
00:44:40you went to Salvatore
00:44:42to give him the money. What are you talking about?
00:44:44Did they hurt you?
00:44:48It's just...
00:44:50It just won't end.
00:44:52I don't know how to do this all on my own.
00:44:54Come here.
00:44:56It's okay.
00:44:58Tell me everything.
00:45:02It's been in my life
00:45:04since my mother remarried,
00:45:06and his
00:45:08debts are mine,
00:45:10and it's just a never-ending
00:45:12nightmare.
00:45:14It's okay. It's okay.
00:45:16I'll take care of you, okay?
00:45:18You don't have to do this alone.
00:45:20We face Salvatore together,
00:45:22okay?
00:45:24I won't let him control your life
00:45:26anymore.
00:45:28Come here.
00:45:38Yes.
00:45:42Tell me everything.
00:45:46I'll be hanging out.
00:45:48Get me updated.
00:45:53I won't even realize
00:45:55what's been hitting him.
00:46:07Salvatore,
00:46:09you're surprised to see me.
00:46:11Alessandro, please.
00:46:13There's a misunderstanding. Please, Alessandro.
00:46:15You dared
00:46:17to harm my wife and brother,
00:46:19and that's a line you shouldn't have crossed.
00:46:21No, no, no, no!
00:46:23No!
00:46:25No!
00:46:27Stop, please!
00:46:29Salvatore, your intentions don't mean...
00:46:31Stop!
00:46:33That's quality.
00:46:35Keep on going.
00:46:37No!
00:46:39Please, Alessandro!
00:46:41Please! Sorry!
00:46:43Bring him up.
00:46:45The next time
00:46:47you get close to my wife,
00:46:49I'll kill you myself.
00:47:01I can't believe we're doing this,
00:47:03Adelina. Merging our brands
00:47:05is going to create something amazing.
00:47:07Oh, Cleopatra,
00:47:09I am so excited
00:47:11to have you on board, but we need to think
00:47:13of a name. Something that encapsulates
00:47:15the essence of both
00:47:17our styles. A name.
00:47:21I've been doing some brainstorming
00:47:23and I was
00:47:25thinking...
00:47:27Ethereal
00:47:29Charm.
00:47:31I like it.
00:47:33It's nice,
00:47:35but it doesn't quite encapsulate
00:47:37both our styles.
00:47:39None of you got it.
00:47:41How about...
00:47:43Couture
00:47:45and Harmony.
00:47:47Oh, Couture!
00:47:49I like it, but...
00:47:51I...
00:47:53I don't know. It's just not quite right.
00:47:55No, it's not quite right.
00:47:57It's harder than I thought, but...
00:47:59How about...
00:48:01Sonata
00:48:03Patterns?
00:48:05I do like that. That's unique.
00:48:07You don't like that.
00:48:09I do like it. I just think
00:48:11it has to feel
00:48:13authentic. It has to sound like it's
00:48:15you and I.
00:48:17I know what you're saying, Cleo.
00:48:19Um...
00:48:21Okay, okay. I think I might
00:48:23have it. So there's two of us.
00:48:25We can be the
00:48:27exquisite duo.
00:48:29That is very us.
00:48:31But...
00:48:33I don't know. Can you sew that in the back
00:48:35of clothes? Little exquisite duo.
00:48:37This is true.
00:48:39Oh, Cleo, what do you...
00:48:41What do you think?
00:48:43I've given you all my ideas.
00:48:45I think I got it.
00:48:49Tell me.
00:48:53Synergy.
00:48:55Synergy.
00:48:57Synergy!
00:48:59I love that! Cleopatra!
00:49:01It has this seamless blend
00:49:03of both of our creative forces.
00:49:05That is perfect!
00:49:07We should sign off on this right away.
00:49:11I'll put my name here.
00:49:13I can't believe we're making it official.
00:49:15And Cleopatra. Synergy.
00:49:17Synergy.
00:49:23That's perfect.
00:49:27I can't believe we're doing this.
00:49:31I think this has to be one of our first designs.
00:49:33It's beautiful.
00:49:35That was one of the first designs that you gave me
00:49:37when you came into my office.
00:49:39How I knew that you had talent.
00:49:41Yes!
00:49:43This is why we're such good friends.
00:49:47Everybody, if I could just have your attention
00:49:49for a moment.
00:49:51Let's raise our glasses to Synergy.
00:49:53To a future filled
00:49:55with groundbreaking design.
00:49:57To Synergy!
00:49:59To Synergy!
00:50:01This
00:50:03journey would not have been
00:50:05possible without all of you.
00:50:07Your belief
00:50:09in our brand has been
00:50:11the cornerstone of our success.
00:50:15To all of you!
00:50:17Oh!
00:50:21Thank you!
00:50:23A delivery?
00:50:25Oh.
00:50:27I know who this is from.
00:50:29To the inspiring
00:50:31women behind Synergy.
00:50:33Your magic knows no bounds.
00:50:35Proud
00:50:37and in the love.
00:50:39Alessandra.
00:50:43That is very beautiful.
00:50:49Look at us.
00:50:51And to think,
00:50:53if I never barged you into your office
00:50:55that day.
00:50:57I knew right when I
00:50:59saw you that we had a bright
00:51:01future together, Adelina, and
00:51:03look at the bright, creative talent
00:51:05that you have brought into Adelina's
00:51:07fashion house. We can take
00:51:09our designs into the world
00:51:11together.
00:51:13Working with a talent like you, Adelina,
00:51:15it's been so inspiring.
00:51:17Well, I can say the same for you.
00:51:19It's like our
00:51:21visions just blend seamlessly
00:51:23and just create something magic.
00:51:25Synergy.
00:51:27I have something for you.
00:51:31It's just little. It's a symbol
00:51:33for you to wear to remind you of
00:51:35everything we have achieved. Don't open it
00:51:37now. Oh, Adelina.
00:51:41And thank you
00:51:43for believing in me. Always.
00:51:47Now,
00:51:49let's get back to work.
00:51:52To synergy!
00:51:54To synergy!
00:52:03Hey.
00:52:08Do you like what you see?
00:52:14Can I have my shirt?
00:52:17Yeah, yeah, of course.
00:52:25Hey, I, uh...
00:52:29Can I kiss you?
00:52:42Alessandro.
00:52:45Let's do that again.
00:52:48Make sure that you breathe this time.
00:53:02I love you.
00:53:10Are you sure, Adelina?
00:53:12I've never been more sure of
00:53:14anything in my life.
00:53:17I love you, Alessandro.
00:53:25I care for you.
00:53:27Very much.
00:53:29But...
00:53:31Love.
00:53:33Love is a complicated
00:53:35thing for me.
00:53:47Good morning.
00:53:49Good morning.
00:54:07Good morning.
00:54:09Morning.
00:54:17As you see this dress here,
00:54:19I thought that I'd finished it but I just feel
00:54:21like it is missing something and I can't put
00:54:23my finger on it. What do you think?
00:54:25This dress, Cleo.
00:54:27Oh, um...
00:54:29Sorry, what was the question?
00:54:33What is going on, Cleo?
00:54:35You look like something's happened.
00:54:39Look.
00:54:41Last night, Alessandro
00:54:43and I
00:54:45shared something special
00:54:47and afterwards
00:54:49I told him that I loved him
00:54:51but he didn't say it back.
00:54:53Cleo.
00:54:55After you confessed your love.
00:54:57Right! It's like he
00:54:59regretted it or something.
00:55:01Or maybe he's just processing
00:55:03things and
00:55:05just needs some time to come around.
00:55:07I don't know. I hope you're right.
00:55:09Arranged marriages
00:55:11can be hard.
00:55:13But he might just need some time
00:55:15to get used to it.
00:55:17I just wish Alessandro
00:55:19would show me the real him.
00:55:21Not this facade.
00:55:23Anyway.
00:55:25Let me help you with that dress.
00:55:27Okay. So.
00:55:29I was thinking
00:55:31I just needed your thoughts.
00:55:33I think it's at him
00:55:35down here.
00:55:43Sorry.
00:55:45Didn't mean to startle you there, miss.
00:55:47What can I help you with?
00:55:49Are you okay?
00:55:51Yeah. Just a long day.
00:55:53What can I get you?
00:55:55Well, I'm after a shirt and a suit
00:55:57for my cousin Vinny's wedding on the weekend.
00:55:59So something silky, fresh.
00:56:01It's summer.
00:56:03Yeah. We can do that.
00:56:05Do you want to try that?
00:56:07Beautiful. Thank you.
00:56:13Okay.
00:56:15Okay. So.
00:56:17The suit doesn't fit.
00:56:19That's alright. I got one back at home.
00:56:21But love the shirt.
00:56:23You'll take this one?
00:56:25Take it.
00:56:27Thanks for brightening my mood.
00:56:29It's alright.
00:56:31Just a fun guy.
00:56:33That's what the boys down in Jersey tell me.
00:56:35Well, I should keep you around.
00:56:37What's your name anyway?
00:56:39Hold on.
00:56:41Make a deal.
00:56:43I'll tell you my name on our second meeting.
00:56:45Our second meeting?
00:56:47Playing hard to get all of a sudden?
00:56:49Trust me, it'll be worth the wait.
00:56:51Besides, it adds a touch of mystery,
00:56:53don't you think?
00:56:55Well, it was nice meeting you anyway.
00:56:57Take care.
00:56:59God, his voice was so...
00:57:01So familiar.
00:57:09Hello?
00:57:11Hello, Salvatore.
00:57:13I trust I have your attention.
00:57:15Who is this?
00:57:17What do you want?
00:57:19Names are irrelevant for now.
00:57:21What matters is a business proposition.
00:57:23I have an interest
00:57:25in someone close to you.
00:57:27Cleopatra.
00:57:29What do you want?
00:57:31I want you to facilitate her disappearance.
00:57:33No harm
00:57:35will come to her if you follow
00:57:37my instructions precisely.
00:57:39And why should I trust you?
00:57:41Trust is a luxury,
00:57:43Salvatore.
00:57:45But I assure you,
00:57:47I have the means to make both our lives
00:57:49easier, much,
00:57:51much harder.
00:57:53What's your endgame?
00:57:55All in due time.
00:57:57You'll receive instructions shortly.
00:57:59Make the wrong move,
00:58:01and consequences
00:58:03will follow.
00:58:23Alessandro, my friend.
00:58:25I hope you've been
00:58:27reconsidering our previous conversation.
00:58:29Who are you?
00:58:31What do you want from me?
00:58:33Names are unimportant,
00:58:35my dear Alessandro.
00:58:37What matters is your compliance.
00:58:39I see
00:58:41you haven't grasped the severity
00:58:43of the situation.
00:58:45You don't
00:58:47have a choice, Alessandro.
00:58:49Your compliance
00:58:51is not optional.
00:58:53Cleopatra's fate
00:58:55rests in your hands.
00:58:57What do you gain
00:58:59from all this?
00:59:01Curiosity killed the cat, my friend.
00:59:15Alessandro,
00:59:17we need to talk.
00:59:19So, you decided
00:59:21to talk to me again.
00:59:23Look, this isn't fun for me. I just can't keep avoiding it.
00:59:25Okay, no problem.
00:59:27Speed it out.
00:59:29The other day,
00:59:31I told you something really important
00:59:33and you totally dismissed me.
00:59:35You're right.
00:59:37I'm sorry, Cleopatra.
00:59:39It's been complicated.
00:59:41Complicated or not,
00:59:43you can't avoid that I confessed my love
00:59:45for you and you
00:59:47have been avoiding me.
00:59:49I have not been avoiding it.
00:59:51I've just been...
00:59:53I'm sorry.
00:59:55This isn't about
00:59:57apologies, Alessandro.
00:59:59This is about being honest with each other.
01:00:05I'm pregnant
01:00:07and I don't know how to tell you
01:00:09and I don't know how you're going to react.
01:00:11Pregnant?
01:00:13Pregnant.
01:00:15My goodness.
01:00:17Cleopatra.
01:00:19This isn't going to be just about you being there
01:00:21when I'm sick.
01:00:23It's about being there for the appointments
01:00:25and the important moments.
01:00:27Hey, Amore.
01:00:29I am so sorry
01:00:31I made you feel this way
01:00:33and I am so sorry
01:00:35that it took me so long to tell you
01:00:37but I love you too.
01:00:41Really?
01:00:43Yes.
01:00:47I can have a baby.
01:00:51And I promise
01:00:53moving forward
01:00:55I will always take care of you
01:00:57and our family
01:00:59forever.
01:01:09Good morning, you two.
01:01:11Why are you looking so serious?
01:01:13Well, Mother,
01:01:15we do have something to tell you, actually.
01:01:17Oh?
01:01:19What to tell?
01:01:21I'm going to have a baby.
01:01:23Oh my God!
01:01:25I'm going to be a mother.
01:01:27Oh, this is so exciting.
01:01:29Oh, this is the best news.
01:01:31I can't believe it.
01:01:33I'm going to be a grandmother.
01:01:35Oh,
01:01:37there's so much to do.
01:01:39We have to play in the nursery
01:01:41and get adorable little clothes
01:01:43and I could knit
01:01:45some blankets.
01:01:47It's such early stages.
01:01:49Slow down.
01:01:51There will be a time.
01:01:53Nonsense. It's never too early to plan for a new arrival.
01:01:55We could paint the walls a soft
01:01:57pastel colour.
01:01:59Oh, and I could get the most adorable little crib
01:02:01and we could get those tiny little socks.
01:02:03Oh, dear!
01:02:05Oh!
01:02:07Now, let's not get too ahead of ourselves.
01:02:09No,
01:02:11nonsense. It's so exciting.
01:02:17Oh, Cleo, darling,
01:02:19you will not believe the dress
01:02:21we got in today. Isn't it just
01:02:23divine?
01:02:25Harlena, it's beautiful.
01:02:27I, uh,
01:02:29I actually have some good news of my own.
01:02:31Oh, spill the tea, darling.
01:02:35I'm pregnant.
01:02:37Cleo!
01:02:39Oh, that is the most
01:02:41wonderful news. You're going to be
01:02:43a mother. Congratulations.
01:02:45I am going to get us
01:02:47some tea to celebrate.
01:02:49Thank you. No champagne for a while.
01:02:51Hello.
01:02:53We meet again.
01:02:55I guess I gotta introduce myself now.
01:02:57That was the deal.
01:02:59I'm Marco. Cleopatra.
01:03:01Cleo here is going to be a mother.
01:03:03Uh, wow.
01:03:05Cleo, that's
01:03:07wonderful news.
01:03:09I'll just get the tea.
01:03:11I didn't expect our next
01:03:13meeting to be so
01:03:15joyous. Life is
01:03:17full of surprises, isn't it?
01:03:19Indeed it is.
01:03:21Well, this calls for a celebration of some kind
01:03:23or something. Yeah, me and my
01:03:25husband were planning
01:03:27a little get-together when we know...
01:03:29Alessandro, right? Yeah, how did you...
01:03:31Here's the tea.
01:03:33There you go.
01:03:35To the to-be
01:03:37mother.
01:03:39What did you say your name was? I'm Marco.
01:03:41Adelina, nice to meet you. Well, I was just
01:03:43popping in to say hello, but
01:03:45I'll see myself out.
01:03:47Sure, I'll see you around. Congratulations again.
01:03:49Thanks. Take care. Mother.
01:03:51Now, we have a party.
01:03:53Okay, we do.
01:03:55So, I was thinking that
01:03:57this dress would be perfect
01:03:59for Maria's gala on the weekend.
01:04:03We're about to see our little one.
01:04:05Isn't that amazing?
01:04:07Isn't that amazing?
01:04:09Yeah, it's... it's amazing.
01:04:15Hey, what's troubling you?
01:04:17It's this car. It's been trailing us
01:04:19since we left home.
01:04:27It's still following us, Alessandro.
01:04:29What... what do we do?
01:04:31Okay, don't panic.
01:04:33I'll take a few quieter streets
01:04:35and see if they still follow.
01:04:49They're gone.
01:04:53See?
01:04:55I knew it was nothing.
01:04:57Let's focus on the positives today, okay?
01:05:01Hello?
01:05:03Keep in mind, Alessandro,
01:05:05my gaze follows you everywhere.
01:05:07The world
01:05:09can turn a dime.
01:05:15Who was that?
01:05:19You're messing with
01:05:21the wrong person, Marco.
01:05:31I'm so glad
01:05:33everything's okay with our baby.
01:05:35Me too. Such wonderful news.
01:05:37It's a relief.
01:05:39Ah.
01:05:41But...
01:05:43Alessandro, now that we're
01:05:45having this baby,
01:05:47I need to know
01:05:49about everyone in your life.
01:05:51Well, Cleopatra,
01:05:53there are some things that we need to leave out.
01:05:55They are business-related,
01:05:57and it's better if you don't know.
01:05:59I know something's
01:06:01going on.
01:06:03If you're not going to tell me, I'll...
01:06:05I'll just find out on my own, then.
01:06:07No, Cleopatra, please.
01:06:09This is complicated
01:06:11and potentially dangerous.
01:06:13You need to stay out of it.
01:06:15Please.
01:06:17I need to know what's going on.
01:06:19You need to trust me.
01:06:21Hey.
01:06:23I will always take care
01:06:25of you
01:06:27and our family.
01:06:29Trust me.
01:06:31I trust you,
01:06:33Alessandro. I do.
01:06:35But...
01:06:37I don't like secrets.
01:06:39I know.
01:06:41I know, and you're right.
01:06:43I'm sorry, Cleopatra.
01:06:45But this is for the better.
01:06:49And I will always take care of us.
01:06:51Always.
01:06:55Always.
01:07:07I'll find out who Marco is
01:07:11for our family.
01:07:15Cleo!
01:07:17Marco.
01:07:19It's good to see you. It's been a while.
01:07:21How are things?
01:07:23Good, yeah. I've been working with Adelina
01:07:25and it's been really busy at the shop
01:07:27lately.
01:07:29Hey, I never asked. What do you do for work?
01:07:31It's a bit complicated.
01:07:33I work in the family business,
01:07:35but let's not worry about that
01:07:37at all.
01:07:39I totally get it.
01:07:41You know, it's a really beautiful day.
01:07:43Why don't we take a picture
01:07:45and remember this time that we met up?
01:07:47Why?
01:07:51I mean,
01:07:53you're looking really nice today
01:07:55and, you know,
01:07:57we could just take a picture together.
01:08:01No, thanks.
01:08:03No?
01:08:05Okay, that's fine.
01:08:13You're acting a little
01:08:15strange. Is everything okay?
01:08:17Of course, Marco. I just
01:08:19I just appreciate friendship.
01:08:21Okay.
01:08:23Wait, it's Tuesday, right?
01:08:25Yeah, it's Tuesday.
01:08:27Look, I've got my niece's
01:08:29I've just completely forgot about it.
01:08:31I've got my niece's birthday over in
01:08:33Jersey and I have to go.
01:08:35I missed out on the death news when they asked
01:08:37so I have to leave. I'm sorry.
01:08:39I'll make it up to you. I know a great spot,
01:08:41but I have to leave.
01:08:45Okay.
01:08:53Cleopatra,
01:08:55what's wrong?
01:08:57Alessandro, is
01:08:59this the Marco you've been talking about?
01:09:01Yes.
01:09:03Yes, that's him.
01:09:05He seems so friendly.
01:09:07Why would he threaten us?
01:09:11It's a long story.
01:09:13Marco and I
01:09:15used to be on opposing sides
01:09:17in a dangerous world.
01:09:19And now
01:09:21now he sees our relationship
01:09:23as a vulnerability, a way
01:09:25to hurt me. And you didn't think to
01:09:27mention this until now?
01:09:29Look, I
01:09:31I was trying to protect you.
01:09:33I didn't want him
01:09:35to know and I didn't want you to live in fear.
01:09:37Well, the truth is
01:09:39out now. What do we do?
01:09:43We'll be okay.
01:09:45I'll protect you. I'll make sure that he doesn't
01:09:47do anything
01:09:49to you or our baby.
01:09:51But we need to
01:09:53be very careful. Marco
01:09:55is unpredictable.
01:09:57And now that he knows about our baby
01:09:59he might do something.
01:10:01He might try to hurt you.
01:10:03You can't let him harm our family.
01:10:07I won't. I'll do
01:10:09anything that I can to protect
01:10:11you and our child. I promise you.
01:10:13You can't let him know,
01:10:15Alessandra. I won't.
01:10:23Ah, Cleopatra.
01:10:25Hi. Take a seat.
01:10:27It's, it's been a while.
01:10:29Um, yeah
01:10:31it has. I'm glad we could
01:10:33catch up like this. Have you been?
01:10:35Um, yeah, I've
01:10:37been good.
01:10:39Your conversation skims
01:10:41across various topics, but
01:10:43Cleopatra's mind is sharp,
01:10:45her gaze occasionally
01:10:47flickering into the cafe's
01:10:49entrance and back to Marco,
01:10:51aware of the potential
01:10:53danger he represents.
01:10:55As they near the end of their
01:10:57encounter, Marco's insistence
01:10:59creeps into his voice.
01:11:05Well,
01:11:07it's been really, really good
01:11:09catching up with you, Cleo. I've
01:11:11really enjoyed it. Um, yeah,
01:11:13me, me too. I, um,
01:11:15I better get going now.
01:11:17Oh, just have a drink.
01:11:19Tony's the best, uh, makes
01:11:21the best margaritas in town. Just have
01:11:23something. Um, Alessandra just
01:11:25texted me and it's getting late.
01:11:27I really would like it
01:11:29if you stayed. I mean, it's just,
01:11:31I've already bought this bottle of wine.
01:11:33It's a great vintage. And then, you know,
01:11:35we can go for a walk later or something
01:11:37like that, or, you know.
01:11:39He sent someone
01:11:41to pick me up and
01:11:43I better not keep them waiting.
01:11:45It's...
01:11:49I see.
01:11:51He's, um,
01:11:53very attentive, isn't he?
01:11:55That he is.
01:11:57I'll see you around, Marco.
01:11:59Take care, Cleo.
01:12:02Until next time.
01:12:14Hello?
01:12:16Salvatore, my old friend.
01:12:18It's Marco.
01:12:20Marco?
01:12:22I don't know any Marco.
01:12:24I trust you've been well?
01:12:26Don't worry, Salvatore.
01:12:28What's important is that we share
01:12:30the best interest.
01:12:32Cleopatra.
01:12:34Who is this?
01:12:36And what do you want with her?
01:12:38Let's just say I have a reason.
01:12:40I know she's close to Alessandra,
01:12:42but I want her away from him
01:12:44for a short little while.
01:12:46It's in her best interest.
01:12:48And what do you want me to do?
01:12:50Call me
01:12:52when she's with you, alone,
01:12:54at your place.
01:12:56But is that all?
01:12:58Yes, that's all.
01:13:00And what's in it for me, Marco?
01:13:02I'm still warm.
01:13:0420,000 euro.
01:13:06Can you come up with that sort of money?
01:13:08You give me the girl,
01:13:10I get you the money.
01:13:24We won't let Marco dictate our lives.
01:13:28But I trust you,
01:13:30Uncle Pato.
01:13:32Good, glad.
01:13:34Mama, we have a problem.
01:13:36What?
01:13:38Cleopatra almost got kicked out tonight.
01:13:42What happened?
01:13:44She's okay.
01:13:46She's shaken, but physically and heart.
01:13:50It was Marco.
01:13:52Of course it was Marco.
01:13:54That man has no boundaries.
01:13:56He's trying to use her to get to me.
01:13:58Of course.
01:14:06I think it's best if you get out of town
01:14:08for a bit.
01:14:10Just in case he's plotting
01:14:12something against us.
01:14:14I'll tighten the security around the house, all right?
01:14:16Okay.
01:14:18It'll be all right.
01:14:20And Mama?
01:14:22Yeah?
01:14:24Oh,
01:14:26Sartre,
01:14:30are we going to be okay?
01:14:32We are.
01:14:34I promise you.
01:14:44Si.
01:14:48Non capito.
01:14:50All right.
01:14:52Carmine.
01:14:56Marco makes a move.
01:14:58I want to be the first one to know.
01:15:00Capito?
01:15:02Cleopatra, amore, dove sei?
01:15:04Cleopatra?
01:15:06I heard what happened.
01:15:08I thought
01:15:10you'd want someone to talk to.
01:15:12How did you know?
01:15:14I also wanted to apologize
01:15:16about the way that I've treated you.
01:15:18Come, let's go for a walk.
01:15:22That way might do you good
01:15:24and we can talk.
01:15:26Because I want us to be on good terms.
01:15:28Okay,
01:15:30Salvatore.
01:15:32A walk might actually be nice.
01:15:53Cleopatra!
01:15:55Cleopatra!
01:16:05What's this?
01:16:09Marco, ascolta.
01:16:11If you touch her,
01:16:13you're dead.
01:16:19Hello, Marco.
01:16:21Cleopatra?
01:16:23Yeah, I've got Cleopatra.
01:16:25Bring the money.
01:16:27Deal's done.
01:16:31It's okay.
01:16:33You're gonna be fine.
01:16:35Salvatore,
01:16:37let her go, now.
01:16:39Not so fast!
01:16:41Not so fast.
01:16:43Put the gun down.
01:16:45I need this money.
01:16:47Come down.
01:16:50Are you sure
01:16:52you want to go down this way?
01:16:56Tell her, Giulio.
01:17:00Giulio!
01:17:02What?
01:17:04Alessandro!
01:17:06What?
01:17:08It's okay.
01:17:10Get out of here.
01:17:12Get out of here.
01:17:30Where are we going?
01:17:32The hospital.
01:17:34No.
01:17:36No, just take me home.
01:17:38I don't think I can
01:17:40deal with all those chemicals right now.
01:17:47Alessandro,
01:17:50thank you.
01:17:54For what, Cleopatra?
01:17:57For protecting me and my baby.
01:18:01Our baby, Amore.
01:18:03Our baby.
01:18:11Did you call me?
01:18:15Are you ready for this?
01:18:17Ready for what?
01:18:21Alessandro, what did you do?
01:18:25Open it.
01:18:40Wow.
01:18:45Alessandro, they're perfect.
01:18:49They're so tidy.
01:18:55Everyone, can you raise your glasses
01:18:57to Cleopatra and Alessandro

01:19:57since we've been together?
