Original subtitles

On the bed, lie back.

God, you're sweet.

Say for it if it hurts bunny just say the word and I'll stop

It

keeps

haunting me why am I dreaming about a woman I've only ever dated men Must be

all those lesbian movies messing with my head.

Yeah, that's gotta be it.

Morning, babe. You up? I'll be there in 30 minutes.

Yeah, I'm awake.

Wear the white dress I bought you. Mama will love it.

Okay.

First time meeting Lorenzo's mum today.

Don't blow this, Serena.

Breathe, babe. My mom's a sweetheart.

Trust me, she's gonna love you.

Sorry, sir.

Your mother got tied up. She wants you two to go ahead with dinner without her.

She pulls this all the time.

Hey, look at me. It's not you, okay?

We'll just have a quiet dinner on our own. Just you and me.

Leslie, stay for dinner.

Of course, Papa.

Lorenzo, not going to introduce you lovely companion?

Say a word if it hurts, Bunny. Just say the word and I'll stop.

This is my girlfriend, Irina.

Irina, meet my aunt, Leslie.

Not bad.

She's a step up from your usual type.

Stop joking around, Leslie. You're scaring her.

Hi, Leslie.

It's nice to meet you.

Oh, the pleasure is all mine.

Lorenzo, so this is your girl?

Si, no, no. This is Irina.

Mr. Vitti, it's an honor to meet you.

Mr.

Vitti sounds way too stiff. You're the first girl Lorenzo has ever brought

home. None of that. Just call me Ivan.

Okay.

Ivan. Murray, tell the chef to add a few more courses. We're eating well tonight.

Right away, sir.

Chianana steak, Irina.

My personal favorite.

Rare is the only way to do it justice.

Try a bite.

You men can keep the blood, Papa.

Some of us prefer our meat properly cooked.

Murray, medium well for both of us.

You don't like blood. That's a riot. Have it your way.

Murray, medium well for the ladies.

Lorenzo?

That's better.

I hated that perfume.

Don't wear it again.

Never thought Lorenzo would catch himself a little

bunny who keeps him out of her bed.

Bunny, just say the word and I'll stop.

Get out of this house.

Stay. And they won't even leave your bones.

Is that a warning or a threat?

Call it what you want.

I've never had a problem taking Lorenzo's toys.

Especially the pretty ones.

Excuse me?

Every instinct tells me to dread her.

Why then did I crave her touch?

No, this is insane.

Don't take yesterday to heart, babe.

Ever since Papa passed away, Mama likes to have a say in everything.

I understand.

She truly is an impressive woman.

You're really good to me, Irina.

Next time, I'll check with her first before asking you out.

By the way, has your aunt, Leslie, always lived with you?

No. She only came back three years ago.

Nonono's love child.

She spent her whole childhood away from the family with her mum.

What does she actually do? She gives off dangerous vibes.

No one really talks about it. Just keep your distance from her, Irina.

She's not like the rest of us.

Call it what you want.

I've never had a problem taking Lorenzo's toys, especially the pretty

ones.

I will.

Happy anniversary.

Thank you for choosing me every single day, Irina. I love you.

I'm so sorry, Lorenzo. I completely forgot.

I know how busy you are.

So let me do the remembering for us.

Thank you, Lorenzo. It's beautiful.

Beautiful enough to earn me a reward?

What kind of reward?

I can't. I don't think I'm ready for this.

It's okay.

That was on me.

I said I'd wait, and I meant it.

Lorenzo never pressures me.

No one has ever treated me better. I must love him.

Why, then, do I pull away every single time he touches me?

Get a grip, Irina. She's Lorenzo's aunt. A woman.

Dangerous. You need to keep your distance.

No spelling.

Our brother Jack died on your fucking watch.

You think we're walking away from this?

Jack Bruno?

He overdosed before he ever arrived. He went into acute renal shutdown after the

surgery. I did everything I was supposed to do. Sorry for your loss, but... Shut

your mouth! You're fucked up! Jack is dead and you're owning this shit!

Somebody help me!

What a waste it'd be to kill you now.

We're gonna run a train on your pretty ass first.

Which hand touched my girl?

Another bitch wants in?

Fine, we'll fuck you both.

Is this the hand?

Fuck, please.

I won't touch her again.

Burn this into your fucking skull.

Touch her again, and I will send you to God myself.

The snake in dagger ink.

Fuck, that's Leslie Vitti. She runs the blood syndicate.

Bail!

You okay?

Thank you.

I can get back on my own. My place is just around the corner. You don't need

to walk me any farther.

You're bleeding.

That needs to be cleaned before it gets infected.

I've got a first aid kit at my place. Let me patch you up.

You sure?

Thought you were trying real fucking hard to stay away from me.

That's different.

You still got hurt because of me, okay? Come up if you want.

Or bleed out here, I don't care.

That body...

I've seen it before.

Done staring?

Come put your hands on me.

It's shallow. Keep it dry for a few days.

You're too close.

Adorable. Look at you, trebling like I'm going to bite.

I am not!

Who is it? It's me.

Get in the bedroom.

Now.

I was just passing by.

Brought you some fruit.

Are you hurt?

What happened?

Oh, I just tripped on the stairs coming back from work.

Nothing serious. I already cleaned it up.

Let me take you to the hospital. No, really.

It's handled.

You've had a long day.

You should call it a night.

I just walked in and you're already throwing me out?

I'm just exhausted.

I need an early night.

Alright. Oh, the most important part.

Dinner with Mama tomorrow night.

No flaking this time, she promised.

You good for tomorrow?

Yeah. Tomorrow works.

Get some sleep.

I'll pick you up at noon.

Goodnight, babe.

Goodnight.

Hiding me half-naked in the dark?

Kind of feels like we're sneaking around, doesn't it?

Cut it out!

We need to meet. Usual spot.

I'll be there.

You're leaving?

Don't want me to go?

Don't flatter yourself.

I need to stay the hell away from her.

Irina, Lorenzo has told me so much about you. A nurse, right? I hear you're quite

capable. That's very kind of you, Mrs. Vitti.

Work. Give me a minute.

You're a smart girl, so I'll be blunt.

Lorenzo can date whoever he likes, but marriage... Do you really think you're

good enough for Lorenzo?

Mrs. Vitti, Lorenzo and I are together because we care about each other. If he

wants to end things, I'll go. Until then, no one else gets to decide for us.

You two look like you're really hitting it off.

Irina and I were just having a wonderful chat.

I can see why you like her, Lorenzo.

I'm so sorry.

The hospital just called with an emergency rush and they need me right

away. I won't be able to have dinner tonight.

Are they that short-staffed?

Want me to call the director?

No, please don't pull strings for me.

It was lovely meeting you, Mrs. Vitti.

I hope we can do dinner another time.

Still feisty under that innocent look.

Who is it?

Open up, Irina.

Can I help you with something?

Invite me in, Bunny.

Or I will gladly wake up the whole floor for you.

Drink with me. You still owe me for bailing you out back there.

One glass.

That's it.

How does she know where the wine glasses are?

Feeling any better?

Is that why she wanted a drink?

To comfort me? Who said I was upset?

How far do you really think you can go with Lorenzo?

Did you come here to convince me to leave him again?

And you truly believe a life with him is going to make you happy?

You're no different from his mum.

You both think I don't belong with him.

You've got it backwards, Dumbo.

Lorenzo doesn't deserve you.

Happy anniversary.

Thank you for choosing me every single day, Irina.

I love you.

Stop!

You got your drink.

Now get out and don't you ever show your face around me again.

Please leave.

Irina, I really don't know what else to do.

Aunt Demi, is this about Trenton's medication?

Did you get the paycheck I transferred?

I got it, but the medicine's out of stock.

How many days' worth of pills does he have?

Three days at most.

I will find a way to buy his medicine.

My aunt took care of me when I lost my parents three years ago.

Now it is my turn to protect her son.

Sorry, the hospital pharmacy is out too.

Lorenzo, I was... Baby, I... Lorenzo, the meeting is about to start.

That's Mrs. Viti.

If she finds out I asked Lorenzo for help, she'll only think less of me.

I'll call you back in a bit, okay?

Never mind go to your meeting.

Okay, baby.

We'll talk later

Lady

believe me. I take your cash if I could but I'm completely out of stock

Call me anytime if you need anything.

I thought you were never going to reach out to me again.

I need your help, Leslie.

So, what made you come all this way to see me?

My cousin needs a drug called Bosutinib.

It's sold out everywhere, even on the black market.

I was hoping you might know someone who can get it.

Swim a lap with me.

Then I'll think about it. What? I can't swim.

I'll teach you for free.

Go change.

You're just messing with me.

I never should have come.

Let go of me.

You sure?

Yes.

Still want me to let go?

I can get you the medicine, but you'll have to agree to three conditions.

What conditions?

First, kiss me.

Properly.

Wasn't that a kiss?

That was mouth to mouth.

I want a real kiss.

When you choose to give me.

Are you crazy?

I'm your nephew's girlfriend!

And?

Then forget it. Irina, Trenton will be in serious danger if we can't get that

medicine soon.

Wait!

That barely counts.

You said just one kiss.

That is a real kiss, Bunny.

wet and shivering.

You really do look like a poor little bunny.

Please keep your hands to yourself.

I'll handle the medicine. As for the second term, stay the night and you'll

find out.

Don't try to slip away, bunny. Remember why you came.

I'm Leslie's housekeeper, Noreen.

Please choose a nightgown you like in the dressing room, then head straight up

to the second floor bedroom.

What is she up to?

Is there seriously not a single normal thing to wear?

Come in, bunny.

That was quick.

Were you that eager to see me?

Take off the robe.

What are you doing?

You smell so sweet, Bunny. Now take off the robe.

My body is the price for this deal. I will never agree to it. Is that right?

You picked the one that hides all that skin.

Get off me!

They're delicious.

I don't want this!

You don't want what?

Exactly.

Let go of me! Do you hear me?

You have no idea how much fun this could make a boring night.

A little rabbit with teeth.

I think I like you even better like this.

Keep struggling if you're not afraid of getting hurt.

What the hell do you want?

Lie down, face first.

That tickles.

Stay still.

Stop it!

Just checking if you're burned down there too. Do that again and I'm leaving

right now.

Hey now, your cream's not all rubbed in yet.

Turn over.

That tickles.

Bear with it. It'll be quick.

Don't.

Just checking if you're burnt down there, too.

What's on your mind, Bunny?

Did we know each other before?

Trying to seduce me?

Actions work better than questions.

That's not what I meant!

Why are you running?

Let me go! I'm leaving!

Trying to get away from me?

Weren't you being pretty good just now?

Honey? Honey, where are you?

I'm at Martha's.

I'm back from my business trip. Want me to wait at your place?

Sure.

I'll be home soon.

Are you okay?

Nothing. I just hit the table.

Martha needs me. I have to go.

No. I won't betray him.

I don't want your help anymore.

Hmm. Bunny, you'll come back for me.

Noreen, give Irina a ride.

What's wrong? You look upset.

My cousin's medication is out of stock.

The black market might still have some, and it's only a fraction of the retail

price.

Can you help me find a source?

Honey, I'm not Leslie.

I don't deal with shady people.

If word gets out that I have ties to the black market, it could ruin my

reputation.

But I can get it through an authorized supplier.

I can't afford the full price.

Your boyfriend is the heir to Viti Group.

You think I can't afford your cousin's medicine?

Then consider it a loan.

I will pay you back.

You're adorable, honey.

I'm sorry, I'm not ready for this.

Can you please give me some time?

I just got carried away.

I should go.

Take it easy tonight Why

do I push Lorenzo away but when Leslie touches me

I

Leslie's still not coming

home for dinner.

I haven't seen her in three weeks Leslie always walks in with a face like someone

died. Honestly, she should have just stayed away Lorenzo She's your aunt.

Show some respect.

Your no-no took the words right out of my mouth.

Leslie's hands are full anyway.

I heard her black market shipment got intercepted.

Her people are already getting restless.

The shipment was intercepted?

Evening, Papa.

That shipment was a decoy. The cops grabbed the junk while the real goods

slipped right past them to the buyer.

Clearly, even Pearl fell for it.

I expected nothing less.

You never leave loose ends.

I got you something to celebrate your marathon win papa.

Block all distribution of that leukemia drug.

How's Trenton doing?

The doctor said he'll get worse fast if he misses another dose.

I already found... Hello?

Can your cousin switch medications?

The one you need won't be available for at least a month.

Okay. I see.

I'll ask around again.

Irina, what's wrong?

I can't tell her.

I won't watch Aunt Demi live in constant fear.

And I won't just stand here and let this disease take Trenton from me.

I have to save my family. It was just work. And I found someone who can get

the medication.

You don't have to worry anymore.

Really?

Irina, are you serious?

Of course.

What do I have to do for that medication?

Your boyfriend couldn't help.

My poor, useless nephew.

You're the only person left who can.

There's my sweet little bunny.

Now I'm wondering if you taste this sweet too.

What is it going to take for you to help me?

You were just as shy the last time you were in my bed.

Please, Leslie.

Name your price.

What if I said, I want your body?

I'm only teasing, darling.

I would never force you.

Stay beside me until morning. Nothing more.

That's really all you want?

Put it on.

I'd rather not.

You promised you wouldn't do anything.

I'm your nephew's girlfriend.

Why play the faithful girlfriend to a waste of space like him?

You don't know the first thing about him.

Then what are you doing in my room, Irina?

Weren't you afraid I might strip you naked?

Because Lorenzo is the one I want.

And you don't own me, Leslie.

The hell did you just say?

Who do you think you belong to? Your nephew, Lorenzo.

Fine.

Then I'll find out how my nephew's future wife tastes.

Forget it. Just go to sleep.

You really think I can trust you again?

I'll sleep in another room.

One way or another, I end up by your side.

Irina?

Irina!

How thoughtful, Bunny.

You're making me breakfast?

It's a single portion.

What else do you want from me, Leslie?

Name your terms.

My brother doesn't have time.

Feed me.

I'm not your maid, and I don't believe any of this will get me that medicine.

Please stop playing with me.

So much attitude from my little bunny.

Feed me, and I'll tell you what comes next.

You'd better keep your word.

Look at me.

I don't like that look in your eyes.

Happy now?

Bunnies look prettier when they smile.

Is this sweet enough for you?

It'll do.

That's enough.

Just don't bring up

Lorenzo, and I won't snap at you again.

Is that your idea of an apology?

I never apologize to anyone.

But you're not just anyone.

Anyway, my third condition is simple.

Come meet someone with me.

Be ready in 20.

Haven't seen you in days, and look at you, aging like fine wine.

My god, you finally remembered your old no-no?

Seriously, no-no? It was one weekend.

Yeah, yeah.

Forget the old man. He'll be fine.

I wasn't ignoring you, no-no. I was hunting these down.

Limited edition and low sugar.

Hide them before the doctor sees or we'll never hear the end of it.

Now that's chocolate!

I can't remember the last time I had anything this good.

Ah, Leslie, you're an angel.

Alessio, you're the easiest old man in the world to bribe.

I've never seen Leslie like this.

No menace, no darkness.

She's just... warm.

Almost cute.

No, no, this is Irina.

The surprise I promised you.

Irina, meet my grandfather, Alessio Copopolo.

Hello, Mr. Copopolo. I'm Irina.

All right, no, no, she's gorgeous, but do you really need to stare a hole right

through her?

That's not it.

I've seen this girl before.

I know that face.

You're thinking of someone else.

Now I remember.

You were Leslie's girlfriend.

She showed me your picture three years ago. Three years ago?

I've brought home enough girls to confuse him. Play along.

You're my girlfriend today.

No, I'm not lying to him.

You don't get a choice, Bunny.

Still sharp as ever, Nono.

Yeah, we just got back together a couple days ago.

Irina, darling, there's no need to keep secrets from Nono.

Irina, come over here.

Yes, Nono? Seeing Leslie find her way back to you, Irina, it brings so much

joy to this old heart. I raised her.

Nobody knows her better than I do. She puts on that ruthless, stubborn front,

but beneath all that armor, she has the gentlest soul.

My dear, this necklace belonged to Leslie's mom. I think you should be the

one to wear it now.

It's far too precious.

Leslie loves you. That makes you exactly who it belongs with.

Thank you, Nonno.

Lunch hasn't felt this lively in years.

Having you around is doing wonders for my appetite.

We'll come by more often, won't we, Irina?

Then you have to try Kelsey's cake.

She baked it fresh just for today.

Go on, have a bite.

Thank you, Nono. This is so good.

Hey, that's Irina's. Give it back before I put you over my knee. It's walnut

cake. Irina can't eat it. She's allergic to nuts. I never told Leslie I was

allergic to nuts.

Did I?

Then how did she know?

Here. Thank you.

Jerk, get off me.

I don't need to hear you thank me.

Show me.

You let me look, but not taste.

That's cruel, Bunny.

You'd better start thinking about what you're willing to trade for the next

batch.

You're Lorenzo's aunt.

I'm his girlfriend.

We shouldn't be this close.

Could you just give me the seller's number? I... I don't make losing trades,

Bunny.

In return, I can come visit your grandpa off- Get.

Out.

Take it back.

Ciao.

You've been gone all day.

No calls, no texts.

Where were you?

Working overtime.

I was doing check-ups at a nursing home.

Long day, huh?

Honey, I missed you so much.

No, Lorenzo. I'm exhausted.

What is that scent?

It smells familiar.

Honey, please.

I'm really tired today.

What happened to your neck?

I caught it on a piece of equipment.

What's in the bag?

Medicine? Where did you get all this?

Martha has her own back channels.

Irina, you're my girlfriend.

Don't lie to me.

We've been together for so long.

Have I ever lied to you?

I just don't trust Leslie.

That woman is too cunning. You're no match for her.

Honey, you're getting ahead of yourself.

I'm really drained today. I just want to rest.

Does he figure it out?

Maybe I should break up with him.

But how can I?

He hasn't done anything wrong.

Who are you people?

What gives you the right to take our room?

Ma'am, your bill is two months overdue. This room belongs to our young master

now. Step aside or we make you move.

Then where the hell is my son supposed to go?

Mom! Mom!

Help! Somebody help me! This is an outrage! Stop it right now.

Are you monsters?

Bullying a defenseless woman and her sick boy like this?

Ma'am, if they hand over the ward quietly... Mom!

I promise everyone will be fine.

Every other room is taken. Where do you expect us to go?

Then don't blame us for getting rough.

Don't hurt her. She has nothing to do with this.

Let her go.

Back off.

Leave my son alone.

You have no right to do this. I will call the police.

The cops don't have jurisdiction over us. Teach this bitch a lesson.

Miss, I think there's been a terrible misunderstanding.

I brought out this room.

The only mistake here is yours.

Isn't that right, Felipe?

Yes, yes, of course, Leslie. Please don't be upset. Those idiots screwed the

whole thing up. You morons!

Apologize to them, then get out of my sight!

Are you hurt?

Irina, take Miss Vidi to an exam room and treat her injury.

But I'm off today.

Just do it. Miss Vidi is one of our top VIP patients.

We can't say no.

Where does it hurt?

Not here.

Let go.

You mean anywhere outside a hospital is fine?

Be serious. Where are you actually hurt?

My heart.

Lorenzo? Leslie?

What are you doing here?

I pay this hospital enough to come and go as I please.

Besides, Irina has such gentle hands.

I loved having them on me.

Oh, I meant her touch when treating wounds.

What are you really playing at here? Irina's your girlfriend.

What's wrong with me looking out for her family?

Irina has my concern. That's enough.

You don't need to cross the line and do these things for her.

Enough. You can't even sort out a few boxes of meds.

What do you mean by that?

Lorenzo, kids just need to keep an eye on their toys. Don't meddle in anything

else.

That bitch bought those meds, didn't she?

She's your aunt, Lorenzo. Do you really think it's appropriate to call her that?

Then is it appropriate for her to consistently hang around my girlfriend?

I was out of options, Lorenzo.

I couldn't just watch my cousin die.

Besides, Leslie only asked me to go see her grandfather with her.

She didn't cross any lines.

Fine. I'll drop the pills.

But Leslie is dangerous, Irina. Stay away from her, okay?

Irina, thank God for you.

Aunt Demi?

There's something I'd like your blessing on.

Irina and I have been together for a while, and I think it's time we talked

seriously about marriage.

Vitti Group is hosting a gala this weekend. I'd like to take her and

introduce her to everyone. What do you think?

That's wonderful.

Knowing Irina has you puts my mind at ease.

You heard her, Irina.

We have her blessing.

Right.

This is incredible.

Stop it. Aunt Demi's right here.

It's settled then. I've got a meeting to get to.

See you later.

Irina, who exactly is Leslie?

Why would she pay Tranton's medical bills?

Either way, I'll pay her back.

She's Lorenzo's aunt.

Irina, hold on to Lorenzo.

He's a good man.

Am I really going to marry Lorenzo?

I hope you'll be by my side at every event from now on.

Don't be nervous.

I'm not leaving your side tonight.

But I'm just a nurse.

I don't belong at events like... Lorenzo, several of our key business

partners are here. Come say hello.

Why don't we bring Irina with us, Mama?

Good evening, Mrs. VT.

Don't make the poor girl sit through a business conversation she won't

understand. She'd be bored to tears.

Wait for me. I won't be long.

Okay, come back quickly.

You must be Lorenzo's girlfriend.

I'm Bethany.

Lorenzo and I go way back.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Irina. Your bag is lovely.

May I see it? What brand is it?

Of course.

I'm not sure.

Did you choose your dress yourself?

Yes. I wanted something simple. It suits you. Does your family live nearby? My

aunt does.

Thanks.

Don't rush off. Come chat with us.

Oh my, what's this?

The Vitti family's ruby necklace?

Why is it in your bag?

What ruby necklace?

This necklace has been in the Vittis for generations.

It belongs to Mrs. Vitti now.

She must really approve of you.

If she's already handed over the family heirloom.

They're not even engaged.

Why would Mrs. Vitti give it to her?

I heard she's only a nurse. Maybe she couldn't resist something that

expensive. You can dress her up, but you can't hide where she comes from.

I didn't steal anything.

You planted that necklace in my bag.

Careful, nurse.

Accusations require proof.

She did it!

Don't accuse me just because you got caught.

Maybe we should see what else you've taken.

Don't touch me!

You filthy little thief!

How dare you!

Check the security cams. They'll show exactly what happened. We don't need

cams. Everyone saw what you did.

Exactly. I saw her slip something into that bag.

There's an eyewitness and she still denies it.

A broke little beggar at a party like this? Security must be slipping.

Who knows how she seduced Lorenzo into bringing her?

I am not a thief!

I never touched that necklace!

What's all this commotion?

Mrs. Vitti, she stole your necklace. We only asked her about it, and she

attacked us. Then she destroyed the Champagne Tower.

Irina, explain yourself.

I did steal.

They slipped the necklace into my bag. She's lying. She shoved me into the

table. After you tore open my dress. You're young.

It's easy to make mistakes when temptation gets the better of you. Just

apologize and I'll let this go. I've done nothing wrong. There will be no

apology from me.

So, you're going to do this the hard way?

Security, get in here.

Drag her to the police.

Get off me. I didn't steal anything.

Let's see how tough you talk once you're behind bars.

A jail cell will suit you far better than a party like this.

Right! Lock her up! Aren't we generous?

At least the thief gets a taste of good champagne before she goes to jail.

Should have called the police long ago.

Mrs. Vitti was far too gracious to offer her a second chance.

Take your hands off me! Let her go.

Nobody lays a hand on her.

Leslie, this woman is a thief. She needs to be handed over to the police.

A thief?

The real necklace has been with me all along.

It was never in this house.

So tell me, Pearl, did Irina steal a fake you had made? What are you talking

about?

Papa gave the Vitti Robi to my mama years ago.

Apparently no one bothered to tell you. Now what exactly are you holding?

There are only two possibilities.

Either you planted a fake for Irina to steal, or this entire accusation is a

lie. Which is it?

Ivan never told me he had given it to your mama. I had no reason to make a

copy. If the necklace was never in this house, then clearly Irina couldn't have

stolen it. Tonight has been an unfortunate misunderstanding.

Then Irina is owed an apology.

Irina, my apologies.

An apology won't bury this. I want the truth. Irina says you slipped that

necklace into her bag.

It appears you had the copy made so you could frame her.

Guests like you are not welcome in the Viti home.

What are you doing?

My Nono kept this safe after my mama died. He chose you to have it, and I

would never go against his wishes. From tonight on, the Viti ruby belongs to

Irina.

I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't come, but standing up to Mrs.

Viti for me, won't that cause trouble?

Worried about me now?

Careful, Bunny.

Someone might think you're falling for me.

Irina?

Why are you with Leslie? Some boyfriend.

She needed you, and you were nowhere to be found.

Irina, what happened?

What is she talking about?

Your mum and your friends humiliated me in front of everyone. Where were you,

Lorenzo?

I'm sorry. I should have stood up for you.

Come with me.

It's time everyone knew you're the woman I chose.

Leslie, Irina and I are getting married. The least you can do is wish us well.

Don't get ahead of yourself, nephew.

Wait until Nono makes it official. Then we'll talk blessings.

May I have everyone's attention?

There's something I've wanted to do for a very long time.

Oh my God, Bethany, look at that diamond. He's going to propose to you in

front of everyone.

Of course he is.

Bethany's the only woman in this room worthy of Lorenzo.

Irina, will you... Lorenzo!

You can't be serious, Lorenzo.

This has to be some kind of joke.

I've never been more serious about anything in my life.

My boy, you're being blinded.

I'll spare her the shame of explaining why, but this farce ends tonight.

Mr. Vitti, these vague insinuations fool no one.

I may come from nothing, but that doesn't mean you can walk all over me.

Get in. I'll take you home.

No cab is coming all the way out here tonight.

I've been thinking about you lately.

I'm thinking that we should.

I won't say nothing, baby.

No, no.

Where you been, girl? That's where you looking at, huh?

An empty stomach will only make tonight feel worse.

How do you know this recipe?

What do you mean?

I've tasted this exact soup before.

I don't remember where, but I've searched every restaurant I could think

of and never found it again.

It's my mama's family recipe.

My favorite.

Try it.

This is delicious.

Delicious? That's all I get? No reward?

What kind of reward do you want?

Now that you've had your taste, it's my turn.

What are you planning to do?

Leslie,

are you alright?

You look pale.

So where does this leave you and Lorenzo?

Do you still see a future with him?

I don't know.

Before tonight, I did.

Now, whatever happens next,

I'm glad you were there tonight, at the party and now with this soup.

No. We can't do this.

That kiss wasn't one-sided, Irina.

I felt you give in.

I don't know what I'm feeling anymore.

My head is a mess.

Please, Leslie.

I need to be alone.

Alright. I won't push.

I'll leave.

Hey, is something going on?

Irina, the board has placed you on indefinite suspension.

But none of this was my fault. I know.

But the director received a warning from the Vitti family's attorneys this

morning.

My hands are tied.

I'm sorry.

Those bastards had no right to pull out of our deal.

Last night made the headlines.

The hospital just suspended me indefinitely.

Honey, I've got a crisis at work right now.

Let me put out this fire first, then I promise I'll sort things out for you.

Not now, Mama. I'm not in the mood.

Ever since Irina came along, you've lost all discipline.

Throwing a tantrum won't save those deals.

A solution might.

And you have one?

Bethany's always had a thing for you.

Ask her out for coffee.

Take her to an opera she likes.

Once she's happy...

Your business problems disappear.

Hello? It's Martha.

Your suspension has been lifted.

Huh?

Wait, what changed?

The director gave the order personally. Your guess is as good as mine.

Was this Leslie?

Should I call her?

Hello?

Leslie.

You had the story taken down?

Who else? Your deadbeat boyfriend?

I owe you one, Leslie.

Then come to the Bluebird Cafe tomorrow at six and repay me in person.

But I... Did

you invite me out just to stare through the window?

Charm her. Do not sit there making her miserable.

Understood?

Of course not.

I was hoping we could discuss the partnership between our families.

So this is about a favor.

Show me how badly you need it.

What do you have in mind?

Hold my hand.

Now kiss me.

That would not be fair to you.

Then there is no deal.

Anything you would like to explain, Lorenzo?

Irina, why are you here?

This is not what it looks like.

We were discussing business...

Oh my god!

We're done, Lorenzo.

Irina! Get in.

What, you want to wait for Lorenzo?

Leslie,

you did this again.

Fuck!

Eat something.

Bad moods are worse on an empty stomach.

That's what you said last time.

Well, you're always down. Somehow it always comes back to a man.

That cross.

Cops?

You called the damn cops?

I'm already wanted for murder.

Might as well kill you too!

Are you okay?

Why were you fighting them?

They were trying to assault a girl, so I ruined their fun.

Were you the one who called the cops?

Brave little thing, aren't you?

Of course I was.

Surprised?

Not at all. Ow.

We should get you checked out.

I've had worse.

Besides, a night this beautiful shouldn't be wasted in a hospital.

What would you rather do?

Have dinner with you, if you'll let me?

I brought you something.

Your work puts you in danger every day. Wear this for me. Let it keep you safe.

How did I get lucky enough to have a girlfriend like you?

Did you just remember something?

No. I just like it. It feels like something I would have picked out.

Lorenzo isn't right for you.

When you needed him, he couldn't protect you or help you. All he did was make

your life harder.

Is that really what love looks like? I love you, Irina.

Be with me.

Are you serious?

Dead serious.

Will you?

No.

I'm not ready to rush into another relationship. And I've never been with a

woman before. I can't make sense of anything I'm feeling right now.

Fine.

We'll go at your pace.

For tonight, just stay here and rest.

Leslie? Well,

who do we have here?

Sorry, sweetie.

Leslie likes her women hot.

Innocent isn't really her thing.

Who are these women?

That sounded awfully possessive for someone who isn't her girlfriend.

She has a point.

What exactly are you to me, Irina?

I... Women like Leslie don't stay available for long. A plain little thing

like you never stood a chance.

I couldn't get a cab. Drive me home.

After that, you can fool around with whoever you like. Only my girlfriend

gets a ride.

Last I checked, you turned down the physician.

Worked out nicely for me, though.

Now I don't have to settle for just one.

I knew it.

You didn't mean any of it last night.

Are you jealous?

Why would you do this to me?

Tell me why it hurts, Bunny.

I don't know.

Seeing you with someone else just... It hurts more than it should. Does that

mean you have feelings for me?

Don't.

Say it. Do you have feelings for me?

I need to hear it, Bunny. I do.

I have feelings for you, Leslie.

Irina, will you be my girlfriend?

Look what you've done to my dress!

My fault?

A moment ago, someone was clinging to me and begging me not to stop.

Admit it, bunny.

Your body already gave you away.

Keep teasing me and I really will get mad.

Let me go. That tickles.

Say yes, and I'll let you go.

But you're Lorenzo's aunt, and I'm his ex. It's too twisted.

None of that matters. We love each other.

Lorenzo betrayed you first, so why let his connection to me stand in our way?

Fine. I'll be your girlfriend.

Leslie, Mr. Vediti needs you to... Report to headquarters immediately.

On my way.

We're here.

You should get to headquarters.

Your father's waiting.

That little peck won't do.

Irina?

What kind of fucking vulture goes after her own nephew's girlfriend?

I've never thought of you as my nephew.

And Irina isn't your girlfriend anymore.

You bitch!

Get the hell off me!

Move again, and I'll break your left arm.

Keep harassing Irina, and I'll kill every deal you have on the table.

Irina, there's nothing going on with Bethany. I swear!

How can you just walk out on me?

Let him go.

Lorenzo, we are over.

Now fuck off.

Get the fuck out!

Sir, you need to see this video of Leslie.

Why are you showing me Irina and Leslie on a date?

Take another look, sir. That woman isn't Irina. They only look alike.

Why the fuck should I care who Leslie is sleeping with? This one's not just some

woman. She's Interpol and has her eyes locked on the Vitti family.

Name's Carmen.

Then Nono deserves to see how his precious long-lost daughter repays him.

It's over for you, Leslie.

Bunny, I'm home.

Stay out. I locked the door.

Did you now?

Out.

The water's getting cold.

I can take care of myself.

Such beautiful legs, Bunny.

Quit messing around.

Let me finish my bath.

Your shirt is soaked.

It was coming off anyway.

What are you... We literally just... Helping you wash.

Come closer.

You could use a much deeper clean.

Leslie, answer your phone.

Damn it.

Papa, are you mad at me for this? That deal involved children. Of course I shut

it down.

Maybe she isn't as cold-bloody as everyone says.

Got it. I'll be right there.

Something came up at home. I've got to run out for a bit.

Now?

Afraid so.

All that urgency just to have dinner with me, Papa?

I put you in charge of the family business almost as soon as I brought you

home.

We never had the chance to build a real bond.

Starting tomorrow, Pearl and Lorenzo will take over your operations.

You still prefer your grandson and his family.

This isn't about taking sides.

We haven't built a strong enough bond as father and daughter.

Without that bond, trust becomes a problem.

Right. A daughter will always be an outsider in this family.

No reason to finish dinner then.

She looks a lot like you, doesn't she?

Get to the point, Lorenzo.

The point is, Leslie never wanted you.

She wanted a replacement for her.

Whatever this is, it's between Leslie and me.

We're over, Lorenzo. Stay out of my life.

Bunny.

Who is she?

What's going on between the two of you?

Tell me who she is.

Irina, believe me.

I have never betrayed you.

I just can't give you the whole truth yet.

Once this is over... Still can't tell me?

Fine.

We're done for now.

Come back when you're ready to explain.

Leave. We're done.

Irina, please hear me out. I said, get out!

Let go!

I refuse to be anyone's substitute!

Substitute? There has only ever been you.

I lost you once. I won't lose you again. Not even for a second.

Bastard! Put me down!

You can't keep me here.

You're holding me against my will.

I know, but... You asshole! Unlock this right now!

Calm down, Irena.

Things are dangerous right now. Keeping you close is the only way I know you're

safe.

What kind of danger?

I can't explain yet.

The moment this is over, I'll set you free.

There it is again.

When this is over.

How many secrets are you keeping from me? I don't know you at all, Leslie.

Forgive me, Rina. The Vitas could come after you at any moment. I can't protect

you unless I know exactly where you are.

I'm sorry.

Ring the bell if you need anything.

Noreen will take care of it.

I'm sending you an address. Pick me up right away.

Why'd Leslie lock you up?

Where's the antiseptic and gauze?

Bathroom cabinet.

No-no's really having Leslie taken out? See, he has proof that she's

compromised. Make sure everything in your study is well hidden.

Someone was outside. I know what I saw.

Found them.

How could that heartless woman do this to you?

Lorenzo? Yeah?

I regret walking away. Can we start over?

Yes, of course.

You have no idea how long I've waited to hear you say that.

I'm glad we're back together.

Someone was watching through the window earlier.

Being alone after that would have terrified me.

Leslie betrayed the family, so Nono has people watching both of you.

They won't hurt you, though.

Not while you're with me.

We're here, honey.

Babe, when was the last time we just had a dinner at your house?

I miss it.

I'll set something up for this weekend.

What about tonight? Are you free?

Let's hit that cafe we always loved.

Sounds good.

I should get to work.

Aren't you forgetting our little tradition?

By tonight, Irina, you'll finally see that Leslie never deserved your love.

Why are you back with him?

Because I realized I still love him.

You're lying.

Didn't I tell you? You promised you'd give me an explanation when it was all

over, but I'm done waiting.

So you better take good care of yourself.

Twelve minutes late.

Ivan's men were following me.

Shaking them took time.

Fine. I'll forgive you this time.

We're almost at the finish line. Do we still need to keep up the act?

We can't get sloppy.

Especially now.

We already have almost everything we need on the Vitus' human trafficking

ring. We just need the client list.

Once we get it, we can move.

Leave that to me.

Ivan suspects you?

He has people watching me 24-7.

And he even has eyes on my girlfriend's place.

But I'm still his blood.

He's probably agonizing about when to get rid of me.

We've got to move fast.

Gotcha, officer.

So, which girl got lucky enough to be your girlfriend?

Getting you back is the best feeling in the world, baby.

Remember how we always came here when we first started dating?

I'm kind of tired, honey.

Let's head back. Wait for me in the car. I'll grab a slice of cake for breakfast

tomorrow. Sure thing.

How could I ever say no to my darling?

And you are?

My girlfriend.

Ex-girlfriend, actually. Need any advice?

I know exactly what dating Leslie is like. I think I'll manage.

A new lover has certain advantages an ex simply can't offer.

I'm sure the woman after you will feel exactly the same.

Carmen, enough.

Since when were you my lover?

Irina, this isn't what you think. We're not... Save the explanation.

None of this concerns me anymore. I forgot to return this. Maybe your new

friend would like it.

Jesus, Leslie.

You scared me half to death.

It's been days since I tasted you. I couldn't wait any longer.

Funny, coming from the jerk I just caught on a date.

So you were jealous.

Admit it, Irina.

You still care about me.

You wish.

I've already forgotten all about you.

What's wrong?

Just a scratch.

How did you get hurt?

Papa stripped me of all my authority.

Word got out and some old enemies came for payback.

I'll live.

No need to worry.

Be careful around Pearl. I also heard something important might be in the

study. Something important?

Could the client list be in there? What client list?

Maybe I can help.

It's nothing.

Just business. I keep it from you because I don't want you dragged into

any of this.

Irina, promise me you'll stay out of it and wait for me, okay?

Got it.

Something urgent came up. I have to leave. Will it be dangerous?

Leslie, please be careful.

Nono and Mama are away, baby. We have the whole house to ourselves tonight.

Thanks for having me over.

Lorenzo, I made your favorite... What is she doing here?

This trash couldn't even get hired as the maid.

I was about to ask you the same thing. Why are you in my house?

Aunt Pearl invited me to stay for a few days. She even put me...

In the room right beside yours.

Maybe I should leave, honey. It's obvious I'm not welcome.

Stay right where you are. Bethany is the one leaving.

Drop the innocent act.

Maybe Lorenzo and Leslie are stupid enough to fall for it, but I see exactly

what you are.

Honey, why is she being so hostile?

She's starting to scare me.

That's enough, Bethany.

Get out.

A few nights in Lorenzo's bed don't make you the future Mrs. Vitti.

Bethany, I've never had my eye on that position.

Run back to the kitchen where you belong.

Unless you'd rather have Lorenzo throw that orange juice in your face.

You little bitch!

Get the fuck out.

You hit me?

Not even my own family has ever laid a hand on me.

I told you to get out.

I swear you'll regret this.

You okay?

I'm fine.

But my dress is ruined.

Could someone show me upstairs so I can change?

Wait a second.

Are you feeling alright?

My blood sugar is dropping.

Would you mind bringing me something to eat?

I'll be right back.

Maybe Lauren's birthday.

Marina?

Take my hand. I'll get you out.

Irina? I gave you everything, and you betrayed me for Leslie.

Mama was right. That bitch won't stop until she's taken everything from me.

Guards! Don't let them get away!

Come on.

Lorenzo will have people searching the entire city by now.

Neither of us can go home tonight.

Is this what you've been looking for?

What were you thinking?

That could have gotten you killed.

Everything you do could get you killed. Why are you allowed to take risks when

I'm not?

Because you and I are not the same. Stop treating me like I'm helpless.

I'm not just your little bunny to hide away and protect.

I'm capable of protecting you too.

Protecting me from what? The day Lorenzo helped me escape, I saw a message from

Pearl on his phone. She and Ivan were planning to get rid of you. Finding

evidence against them was the only way to keep you alive.

So getting back together with Lorenzo had nothing to do with being angry at

me. You did it to protect me.

God, Irina.

I'm sorry. I had it all wrong.

I found this in the study and took pictures of every page.

Babe, this is the evidence we've been missing.

My brave little bunny did what no one else could.

Wait, not until I get the truth. What is Carmen to you, and who are you really?

Carmen and I have never been lovers, I swear.

As for who I really am, I'll tell you everything when this is over.

We

shouldn't...

I need you right now.

Leslie. I love you, Irina.

That useless son of yours let someone get into his safe.

Now I'm spending my final years running like a common fugitive because of you

two.

Is Lorenzo's hiding place secure, Papa?

The police won't find him there, will they?

I planned it myself.

Unlike you and your son, I'm not incompetent.

Don't shoot.

Ivan Vitti.

Pearl Vitti.

You're under arrest for organ trafficking, human trafficking, and

murder.

So my precious daughter was the traitor all along.

You're a cop?

No.

I was never one of you.

Twenty-three years ago, you forced yourself on my mother.

She spent the rest of her life running from you, dragging me from one hiding

place to another.

She hated you until the day she died.

The Vici name has been soaked in blood for decades.

Being related to you has always disgusted me.

I took this undercover assignment so I could be the one to bring your entire

empire down.

Shut up, you ingrate!

Ivan Viti, you were never my father.

All I have ever felt for you is hatred.

Take him away.

Leslie! Call an ambulance!

Somebody call an ambulance now!

I'm the one who got shot.

Why are you crying?

Stop talking.

Save your strength.

I'm a cop.

Carmen is too.

Everything you saw between us was just part of our cover.

I understand now.

I should have trusted you. I'm so sorry.

Leslie!

Please, God.

Let her wake up. I can't lose her now.

That cross.

Why does it feel so familiar?

No!

This can't be happening!

The doctor said you were going to be okay!

Leslie, please!

No! Don't take her!

She's dead. Her body has to be taken away.

She can't be dead.

Please don't take her away from me.

Stop getting in my way.

Leslie?

Leslie? Leslie?

Where's the patient from that room?

What? Leslie!

The one who got shot in the chest!

It was terrifying.

Thank God Pearl and Ivan are finally behind bars.

I was only doing my job.

Leslie, you're so cool.

I want to be just like you when I grow up.

Oh, thank God. It was just a nightmare. There you are.

I woke up to an empty bed and nearly had a heart attack.

Aunt Demma came to see me.

I wanted to check on Trenton, so I came here with her.

You were sleeping so soundly. We didn't have the heart to wake you.

Who are you calling your aunt?

Irina, your girlfriend bought me a ton of presents.

Quit talking nonsense.

Irina.

What about your wound?

The bullet missed anything vital.

I'm healing well, so stop worrying.

Irina, I love you.

Will you marry me?

You just got out of surgery. How can you kneel?

So is that a yes?

All right, all right, yes.

Now get up.

And the date?

What date?

For our engagement party. Can we do it ASAP?

I don't want to wait one more second.

Irina landed herself a rich, gorgeous partner.

Tell me about it.

I bet she'll quit soon. Who'd keep busting their ass in a hospital when

they can just be a rich wife?

Irina has bigger dreams than becoming some pampered housewife.

She's smart, capable, and building a career of her own.

Sounds like a waste of good fortune to me.

Good for her.

Ambition is one of the many things I adore about Irina.

You must be Leslie's grandfather, Alessio.

A pleasure to meet you, Demi.

If Leslie ever mistreats Irina, she'll have me to answer to.

Relax, old man.

I know better than to upset your favorite girl.

Leslie, I should be thanking you.

You brought the perfect granddaughter into my life.

Holding up okay?

I've never felt better.

Tonight, to celebrate my granddaughter finding her soulmate, I'll be gracing

you all with three songs.

Was Carmen really there, or did I imagine it?

This should have been our engagement party.

Then Leslie came along and stole you from me.

Lorenzo?

How did you get in here?

I wanted to see how well betrayal suited you after you stole that evidence for

Leslie.

Don't tell me you actually believe Leslie loves you.

You think you can play me and walk away?

I was too good to you.

I should have pinned you down.

and fucked you raw the first night you walked into my life.

Where the hell did you take me?

God, I was so stupid to trust you.

What did you slip in my drink?

I can't feel my body.

Relax.

It's just a little something to get you in the mood.

Look what I've got here.

Leslie never loved you.

It was Carmen all along.

You were nothing but a convenient substitute she could play with for a

while.

You really think I'll believe whatever you tell me?

Stubborn as always, aren't you?

See that?

See what your precious Leslie is doing with Carmen?

There you go. A proper goodbye.

All the best in Canada.

Have you seen Irina? No, ma'am.

Where is Irina?

She's been gone for a while.

Don't just stand there.

Everyone, look for her.

Who will you save, Irina or Carmen?

Start a live trace on Lorenzo's phone. I need his location now.

Carmen? Where the hell is Irina?

Look, your beloved Leslie is hugging Carmen at your engagement party.

Why did you bring me here?

What do you want with me?

First... I wanted to put Leslie's love to the test. I took both you and Carmen,

then gave her two room numbers.

All she had to do was choose who mattered more.

And would you look at that?

She chose Carmen.

Don't take my word for it. Watch.

She had a choice between you and Carmen.

Now you know exactly where you stand.

Lorenzo, what the hell do you want?

I want both of you to suffer.

I loved you more than anyone and you betrayed me for Leslie.

The two of you destroyed my career and my entire life.

Watching you two in pain is the only thing that makes me feel better.

I'm burning up.

I need water.

You're not thirsty, baby.

You're horny.

Let me fix that for you.

Irina isn't next door.

After Lorenzo caught me, I heard him call his driver.

They went somewhere else.

You tracked Lorenzo down?

I'm heading over now.

Stay away from me.

Be a good girl.

I'm about to make you feel pure ecstasy.

You sick bastard!

This place was completely off the grid.

How did you find me?

An idiot like you will never be a real criminal.

Letting you live is already more mercy than you deserve.

This is all your fault, Leslie!

You ruined me!

Save it for the judge.

Take him away.

It feels awful.

I'm burning up. So hot.

Easy little bunny.

Let's play something different tonight.

There's my perfect little bunny.

Tell me what was the deal with Carmen.

Lorenzo told me you saved her first.

Lorenzo switched the room numbers.

He told me Carmen's room was yours, so I went there believing I'd find you.

I suspected he was playing some kind of trick, but when your life was at stake,

I couldn't risk being wrong.

That's more like it.

So, is she the one that got away?

There is indeed someone.

Someone I've never quite managed to forget.

But it's not Carmen.

It's you.

It's my first time meeting your parents.

Do I look alright?

I'd love you in anything.

And as long as I love you, my parents will too.

There they are! That's their car!

I'm sorry, but both of them didn't make it.

You're awake.

How are you feeling?

I'm sorry.

Who are you?

Losing your parents shattered you. When you woke up, every memory of me was gone

too.

I couldn't put you through that pain again.

And with the undercover assignment, I had no idea if I'd even make it back.

I thought I'd find you and tell you everything once it was over.

Then you walked into the viddy house.

I'm sorry it took me so long to find my way back to you.

I remember everything now, Leslie.

I'm never letting you go again.

Never again.

You and me, for the rest of our lives.

Today, Leslie and Irina made it official and Trayton came home healthy.

I can't think of two better reasons to celebrate.

We're a family now.

Salute!

Remember this place?

This is where we first met.

How could I not?

Now, pop quiz. What was I wearing?

As if I'd forget.

You wore a white dress and looked like you just walked out of a painting.

Are you okay? Why were you fighting?

If not for your bravery that day, we wouldn't be where we are now.

And how do you plan to repay me?

By giving you the rest of my life.

Now that's an answer I can live with.
