Move it, you brain-dead waste of space.

A dog could do this job better than you.

Father.

Mother. Listen.

Our bet with the Falcons went bad. The Vances are drowning in debt we can never

pay back. So we're sending the boss a bride to cover it.

We're not losing Vanessa's perfect engagement over this.

So you're going to the Falcons.

As a contract bride for that crippled mafia psycho.

But... Why me?

Why do I have to go to the boss?

You've been slow in the head ever since that childhood trauma.

You're a useless idiot.

You think you can compare to your sister?

Vanessa went to an elite school.

She'll be marrying Tristan in your place.

And you're marrying into the Falcone family.

Understand?

Marrying? What does that mean?

It means you move into someone else's house. I lived here 20 years.

Now, father and mother don't want me.

If I go to her house, will there be hot pizza? Of course.

Valeria's ruthless, but she can afford a pizza.

Okay, I'll go instead of Vanether.

Look at you.

Getting excited over a slice of pizza.

You're lucky to take your sister's place.

Don't you dare hold it against her.

Go kneel in the snow for two hours.

Pray for your sister's engagement.

Yes.

It's Chloe.

That jinx brings us nothing but bad luck.

Thank God we're getting rid of her.

Three more days, and my baby girl marries Tristan, our future governor.

This whole city will be at your feet.

This is all for your dowry.

The family trust will be yours, too.

Oh, Daddy, Mommy!

You're the best!

But Chloe's marrying the boss for me.

What if she messes it up?

She's a complete idiot.

Who's she going to tell?

Nothing will go wrong.

I heard that mafia freak has deadly rage fits.

She's crippled, and she's brutal.

Chloe might not even live to see her wedding day.

That monster will never know Chloe took your place.

The idiot and the monster.

What a couple.

Martha, take her to the Falcone estate yourself.

Watch her every move.

Yes, ma'am.

Once you're there, keep an eye on everything the Mafia does.

And you pass it all to Tristan.

Help him get rid of the Falcons, and he'll be yours for life.

I knew you loved me best.

I'm so hungry.

Just a few more days.

Then I'll have a new home.

Please let there be a warm blanket and hot, yummy pizza.

You're the girl the Vance has sent to pay their debt?

Mm-hmm.

That's their spy.

She's nothing but bone.

A stiff breeze would knock her over.

Follow me.

Looks like she'd shit her if you touched her.

But she didn't even blink.

Interesting.

Are the Vances really that broke?

Senator Vance sent this scrainy little thing to marry the boss?

Look at her. The boss could snip her in half with one finger.

Let the wedding begin.

The Vance family has lost its wager.

Chloe Vance is hereby given to the Falcone family as a bride to settle a

debt of hundreds of millions.

The marriage contract is sealed.

Her life belongs to the Falcone.

Thank God they sent this idiot.

Miss Vanessa could never stand this. A wedding where the boss doesn't even show

up? Bride, kneel and take your vows.

Boss Valeria, accept your bride and this marriage contract.

Kneel, now!

You want me killed?

Get down and stay down.

Please. My wife.

Please accept our marriage.

The boss won't show.

Why would she attend the wedding of a debt payment?

Right. A cheap toy like that belongs on her knees waiting to die.

The red death net.

The boss.

She's coming.

That dog's gonna tear the idiot apart!

This dog, he's so solid.

All muscle. If I had a dog like this, nobody would dare hurt me. Well, well.

This bride just got interesting.

Idiot! You useless brat!

That doberbin was meant to scare us!

And you hugged it? You made the Vances look like fools!

Martha, can I have something to eat? Eat? Is that all you think about?

Keep dreaming!

Not one bite for you!

The ceremony's over.

Time to do the job.

Mr Vances gave me... Oh no, they caught the driver.

Boss, it was her!

She made me do it! I was just following orders! He's lying!

Liar!

Talk.

Or I pull the trigger.

It was Chloe!

This was all her plan!

Back.

I'll talk. I'll tell you everything.

Talk. Chloe's the eldest Vance daughter.

Tristan's fiancé.

She volunteered to marry you in her sister's place.

Still lying.

It's true. She came to spy on you for Tristan. Your secrets, your security.

Yes, that's it. She told us to do all of this. Please, boss, spare us.

So you won't tell the truth.

Feed them to the dogs.

No, no, please let me go. Mercy, boss.

Boss, another attack?

Let me take you to the infirmary. You need a sedative.

No.

Take me to the bridal suite.

The bridal suite?

Boss, you're going to use that Vance spy to suppress your rage?

Boss, shall we go in?

Yes. When it's time, follow the plan.

Understood. On your signal, I open the cellar and let the hellhounds shred that

spy.

The eldest Vance daughter, Tristan's fiancée?

Why is she covered in scars?

Who did this to her?

Is this really her?

Yes, boss.

Thank you.

What the hell?

Did the boss just smile?

Are you my wife?

Yes.

Anything you want to say?

Then you're not in a hurry to consummate, right?

If you're not, can I have one more?

The strawberry one, please?

You, come here.

God,

she smells good.

White tea, vanilla, the rage in my blood.

It's going quiet.

My wife, you stink.

She's dead.

The boss never lets anyone near her.

And that smell is her sedative.

It's what keeps her rage down.

Ow!

Please, don't move.

Your knee's hurting me.

How dare you?

Throwing yourself at the boss?

Have you no shame?

Shut up.

Don't move.

I'm sorry. Please don't be mad.

Just one more bite.

Keep me full.

And I'll do anything you want?

No.

Fine. You win.

Take her. Get her cleaned up. Yes, boss.

Her scent holds my rage down.

Is she really just a Vant spy?

Doesn't matter who she is. She's my cure.

Now that I have her, she's not going anywhere.

So, so warm.

Ma'am, it's time to go to the bedroom.

The boss is waiting.

Tonight, you'll consummate your marriage.

Consummate? Is that hard?

Will it hurt?

Not at all. Just do what the boss says.

She won't hurt you.

And when we're done, is there food?

There'll be food. Yay!

Wow.

It's so big.

So pretty.

Come here.

One, two, three. Three blankets.

Three hold-down comforters. No holes. It must be so, so comfy.

Can I really, really sleep here tonight?

Do you know what you're asking?

You want to sleep with me?

Yes!

Then get up here.

Take off the coat.

No, it's the warmest thing I've ever worn.

Take it off.

But it's warm.

You like that coat that much?

So, so much. It's really warm.

The eldest Vance daughter, almost crying over a simple coat.

Um, my wife.

How do we consummate?

First, you take all your clothes off.

Huh?

These scars.

Who did this to you?

Father, mother, and Vanessa and Martha.

They said we were just playing games.

Are we done?

Can I eat?

How many meals a day did you get at the Vance estate?

One. Just one.

But I don't eat much. I'm cheap to keep.

Please don't send me away.

One.

I can eat leftovers.

Everybody's.

A little bit is enough.

Have the kitchen send up some food.

Go ahead.

Eat.

All this?

I can really... Really eat it?

Yes.

She's so innocent.

No one could fake that.

I thought the senator sent her to spy on me.

I was going to kill her.

But now... Wife, you're so nice.

I like you.

Nice?

Everyone calls me a monster.

And this little fool thinks I'm nice.

Eat. I'm getting medicine for your wounds. Back in a minute.

That Vance spy is slyer than I thought.

She actually stayed in the boss's bedroom.

Lucky for us, the boss had a plan.

Go!

Tear that spy apart!

Damn it!

I told them to kill my bride.

Back! Now!

Don't! Don't hurt my wife!

You're the best person in the whole world.

So warm. You're my wife. I like you.

Chloe!

Boss. Get the doctor.

Now. Yes.

Don't worry, boss.

Your wife will be fine.

She fainted from the shock.

Some rest is all she needs.

A little of the special ointment will heal those old abuse wounds.

Boss, why aren't we following the plan?

The dogs were supposed to... She's not a spy.

Call off everything we planned. Get out. All of you.

No. Don't hurt my wife.

She's the only one who ever let me eat until

I was full.

Another episode?

Why am I...

My wife.

Let's consummate.

You asked for this.

It hurts.

Her natural scent was controlling my rage disorder.

But just now, it made my blood run hotter.

What the hell is happening?

Boss, I just checked all your blood markers.

The factors causing your rage, they're stable.

You're not having an episode.

Then why did I lose control?

That wasn't your disorder, boss.

You're falling for her.

Falling for her?

A bloodthirsty mafia monster like me actually has feelings for someone?

I only ate a little earlier.

Could I have a little more food?

Go ahead.

Eat.

Yay!

It all looks so good.

What should I try first?

I wish this was all I had to worry about every day.

Do you want some?

You eat.

Don't worry about me.

Okay.

You're still hungry?

Can't I have any more?

You've eaten enough for three people. You're not full?

I can still eat.

Any more and your stomach will burst.

Will it really burst?

That's enough now.

Okay. Why are you crying?

All that food left over.

We'll throw it away.

You can't waste food!

I want to keep it!

Sorry.

She's so easy to read.

Poor thing's just afraid of being abandoned.

We'll give the leftovers to the Dobbles downstairs.

Nothing will go to waste.

You'll have fresh food every day.

I'll never let you go hungry again.

Food? Every day?

Of course.

Come here.

You're so good to me!

then sleep. You're a little piglet. Pizza, so yummy.

Now, now I'm not cold.

Her scent calms the rage, but her body makes it impossible to think straight.

Boss. The mayor and the Vances have invited you and your wife to the

Manhattan Charity Gala.

All the city's political and business leaders will be there.

Quiet. Can't you see she's sleeping?

Ma'am, please get up. You don't have to kneel.

Then why are you kneeling?

Father and mother, they always made me kneel.

Only bad people make people kneel.

Please spare me, boss.

Get out.

Am I one of these bad people?

No, no, I didn't mean you. Please, it really, really hurts.

Kneeling alone couldn't do this.

Unless they made her kneel on broken glass.

Or shards of ice.

I don't have to kneel anymore?

Listen to me.

From now on, you don't kneel to anyone without my permission.

Do you understand?

I understand.

It's cool. It feels nice.

What's this?

Medicine for your wounds.

You've never had any when you were hurt?

No. Never.

What's on your mind?

I've... I've never seen this before.

Open up. Try it.

Mmm! It's yummy! So sweet!

Boss there's word from the Vance's in the mayor They're insisting your wife

attend tonight's Manhattan charity gala They lost the wager and now those

pathetic losers think they can order my wife around Would you like to go will

there be food Yes, then then I want to go She's as innocent as a

child sending her alone into a room full of those scheming politicians and

socialites Something will go terribly wrong.

Exactly.

But the boss never goes to these phony galas.

Certainly not one her enemies are throwing.

We shouldn't let her go.

They'll take advantage of her if she goes alone.

In a world full of predators.

They'll take advantage of her if she goes alone.

In a world full of predators.

Who else will protect this little fool?

Have the car ready.

I'm going with her.

Boss, you're going yourself?

Yes.

Get my wife ready. Make her look beautiful.

Boss, it's been years since we've had a lady of the house.

I'm afraid we don't have a couture gown in her size.

The East Wing Collection.

Pick one for her.

The East Wing Collection?

Those one-of-a-kind gowns belong to the previous boss.

She's treasured them for years.

No one's ever been allowed inside.

Yes, boss.

This one's sweet, too. Try it.

You look beautiful, ma'am.

A little thin, perhaps.

Once we've taken good care of you, you'll turn every head in the room.

It's so silky.

What if I ruin it?

You won't.

Come along.

The boss is waiting.

Do I look pretty?

Not bad.

Just not bad?

You two look made for each other.

Boss, the car's ready.

Valeria's going with her?

Miss Vanessa said the boss didn't care about that idiot.

She was supposed to come alone.

Vanessa planned to finish her off at the gala.

This ruins everything.

This hand chain is so warm.

I've never had anything this fancy before.

You like it?

My wife.

What's wrong?

Did she find out I snuck some candy this morning?

I only had one.

You can have this one.

Please, don't be mad.

Vanessa, why so gluss? You just got engaged to Tristan.

I'm just worried about my poor sister Chloe.

She's mentally impaired, and they sent her to that violent madwoman to pay off

a debt.

I hate to think of her coming here all alone.

My sister has the mind of a small child.

Please forgive her.

if she does anything inappropriate.

You're so kind, worrying about that idiot.

She can barely function.

She should stay home instead of embarrassing herself.

Vanessa, you're always so sweet and kind.

Darling, I'm just worried about Chloe.

Shall we meet her at the entrance?

Of course.

Whatever you want.

Vanessa's a saint.

She's actually gonna greet that idiot herself?

The Vances used to brag that Chloe was a child prodigy. Then a fever fried her

brain. Now she can barely get a sentence out.

Hilarious.

I heard she'd fight the servants for leftovers.

Some old money iris.

Don't talk about my sister like that.

It's bad enough she was traded away to pay a debt.

You're too kind.

That's her fate. It's not your fault.

They say she didn't even have decent clothes when she went to the Falcone

estate.

Valyria's so cruel.

I doubt she'd even give her a dress.

She's lucky that vicious boss hasn't skinned her alive.

She'll probably show up in rags.

Everyone knows how brutal the Falcons are.

She's lucky to be alive.

That's what happens when you're traded for a debt.

Everyone called you a genius, Chloe. A photographic memory.

So I put a neurotoxin in your water and stole your inheritance.

Today, I'll humiliate you all over again.

Chloe! Finally!

We've been waiting forever!

That's one of the former Falcone Godfather's one-of-a-kind gowns. Even

the mayor's wife couldn't borrow one.

Chloe! It's- It's been so long. I've missed you terribly.

We saw each other yesterday.

I didn't miss you at all.

There you go, talking nonsense again.

I spent all yesterday worrying about you, and this is how you treat me?

You're breaking my heart.

Forget it. Why am I wasting my breath on an idiot?

Enough of that. Come say hello to your former fiancé.

It's her.

She's stunning. One look and he's drooling. That born little tempter. I

should have killed her with that poison.

Darling, this is my sister Chloe.

So you're Chloe.

I hope the trip wasn't too tiring.

Staring right at me.

She's bold, isn't she?

She's mesmerized.

Of course.

What's gotten of that idiot?

You... She's falling for me.

Who... who are you?

Oh, my God.

She just asked who Tristan was.

In front of everyone.

He's the mayor's son, and she won't even give him the time of day.

Chloe, don't you recognize Tristan?

Or are you just pretending to be an idiot?

Should I know him?

Of course.

Everyone in Manhattan knows Tristan, and he used to be your fi- Damn it.

What am I saying?

Well, now you know.

Anyway, I heard Valeria's rage disorder flared up again.

How is she?

My wife.

She's much better.

Then why did she let you come alone?

All this snow.

What if you fell?

So she's well enough to come, but she wouldn't accompany Chloe?

Some wife she is to her.

Exactly. She's an idiot.

Why would a powerful mafia boss lower herself to escort her?

Boss, we're five minutes from the hotel.

Boss, Mayor Richard's convoy is blocking the road.

We rarely see the head of the Falcons on political grounds since our debt

agreement. Why don't we step into the VIP room for a talk?

No time.

Valeria, we need to discuss a matter concerning Manhattan's underworld and

political leadership.

We need to discuss a matter concerning Manhattan's political leadership and

underworld. The guards will take you to the gala.

I'll be right behind you.

Okay.

Wear this.

I'll be able to see everything that happens to you.

Don't be afraid.

With my wife here? I'm not scared.

No. No.

My wife.

She came with me.

Liar. If Valeria's here, where is she?

Lying just to save face?

Is that how I raised you?

Exactly. Just because you're an idiot doesn't mean we are. I'm not lying.

She really came.

She's even more beautiful when she cries.

Chloe, shut up.

Vanessa, don't hit me.

I'll be good.

I'll kneel.

Didn't Vanessa say she took good care of her sister?

Doesn't look that way.

There's more to her than she lets on.

That idiot.

Is she doing this on purpose?

Chloe, what are you doing?

I'm your sister.

Why would I punish you?

I've never laid a finger on you.

I was worried they weren't treating you well at the Falconese.

I got upset and snapped.

Here, take this necklace.

An apology.

We can't let anything come between us. We're sisters.

No.

I don't want it.

Put it on.

The gala's about to start. Let's all go inside.

This necklace is soaked in a neurotoxin that'll drive that dog mad.

A small price to have you torn to pieces.

Don't be alarmed, everyone.

Fresh from the underground market, a champion fighting dog, the bloodthirsty

Caucasian Mastiff. A special treat for you all.

That dog's dangerous for the rest of us.

But my sister's married to the Falcone boss now.

Taming a little beast like that should be nothing for her.

Right?

I can't. I'm scared.

You won the wager.

I'll give you that.

But I hear you're ambitious.

Do you intend to take over Manhattan's entire underworld?

The Falconers are simply taking back what's ours.

But how much longer?

Can that crippled body hold out?

We should work together.

You lost.

Stop talking.

We're done here.

I'm going to find my wife.

So the Falcone boss is a devoted wife.

That little idiot is good for something after all.

She's my wife.

Insult her again, and I'll cut you to pieces.

Quinn, find my wife.

Everyone's watching, Chloe.

Back out now, and they'll say the boss married a coward.

You'll humiliate her.

Then she'll throw you in the slums like garbage.

She's right, Chloe.

You're a disgrace to the Falcons if you can't even do this.

I can't be abandoned.

I can't embarrass my wife. If she doesn't want me anymore, I'll have

nothing to eat.

I'll do it!

Darling, she's so confident.

Let's trust her. We'll get a better view from the terrace.

Let's see what she can do.

All right.

Scared stupid already?

That necklace is soaked in a neurotoxin that'll send that dog berserk.

Just wait till it kicks in. The fun's only beginning.

Please, don't be angry.

This, this is my favorite candy.

It's really sweet.

You can have it.

She actually calmed the bloodthirstful Caucasian maskiff.

Impossible. Why hasn't that beast killed her?

Could you crouch down?

I want to ride on your back.

My idiot sister wants to ride it? She has no idea what she's doing.

What if she falls and gets hurt? Exactly. The idiot doesn't know any

better. Serves her right.

Wait till that beast throws her off.

Puppy, please?

You're the best. I'll give you all my candy.

Thank you.

You're the best, puppy.

Let's go.

That stupid beast.

Had better know who it's not allowed to touch.

She really is.

One of a kind.

This is great!

Faster!

Beautiful.

She's so beautiful.

Enjoy it while you can, Chloe.

Jump over it!

Come on, puppy!

I told you, Chloe.

You'll relive every bit of that humiliation.

I can't let go!

If the puppy runs away, my wife will be angry!

She won't want me anymore!

Full speed! Smash through the gate!

Wasn't... wasn't she paralyzed?

I'm here.

Don't be afraid.

It hurts.

Kill that beast.

Yes, boss.

Please, don't kill it.

It deserves to die.

It didn't mean to.

It ate my candy. It was being good.

Someone made it like this.

Fine. Let it live.

Find out why that beast went mad

Boss

The dog's fur and your wife's dress have the same smell a powerful neurotoxin

it makes the central nervous system go haywire So they found the toxin so

what I took the necklace back they have no proof you did this

Falcone, you can't just accuse innocent people.

She's my own sister.

Why would I hurt her?

Where's your proof?

Valeria, this is a public place.

Without proof, you're not laying a finger on my fiance.

Proof? I'm a Falcone. My word is proof.

Quinn, search her.

Yes. How dare you? I'm marrying the mayor's son.

Boss, this is it.

The necklace is soaked in the neurotoxin.

No.

That's impossible.

It's not mine.

I don't know how it got on me. Boss, Vanessa forced Chloe to wear it. We all

saw her.

She planned this.

Two choices.

I throw you into that cage and let the dog eat you alive.

Or you take 30 lashes from my wife.

No!

Valeria! You've gone too far!

One more word and you're next.

I'll take the lashes.

Take it.

I can't. I've never hit anyone. She just tried to kill you.

If you don't hit back, she'll keep hurting you.

She'll take all your food and leave you hungry for the rest of your life.

She's gonna take my food?

Yes. What are you gonna do?

I'll... I'll hit her.

Good. Get over here. On your knees.

You're a bad sister! Don't take my food!

Like that. Got it?

Yes! I've got it!

That's my wife.

Let's go.

Is the puppy going to die?

The neurotoxins destroyed its mind.

When it wakes up, it'll attack people.

It has to be put down.

But it just ate my candy.

It was such a good puppy.

Puppy, you're okay.

That neurotoxin, she neutralized it?

Her natural scent can neutralize even that poison.

What other secrets is she hiding?

Ma'am, that champion fighting dog seems to have chosen you.

Why not take it home as a pet?

Can I?

I'll share my food with it. All right. Whatever you want. Bring it.

So soft.

You'd rather pet that useless beast than touch me?

I'm much better than it is.

Go ahead. You can touch.

Hard. And no fur.

I still like my fluffy puppy better.

Boss, we're here.

Go in.

Pick out some clothes and jewelry you like.

So, so pretty.

Oh, a little stutterer.

That's the finest piece in this store.

An idiot like you breaks it, how will you pay for it?

I didn't touch it. I was just looking. I won't look anymore.

Look at you. Get out before you dirty up the place.

I'm not an idiot.

That's rich.

The idiot says she's not an idiot.

Look around, idiot.

Everything here costs fortune.

We could sell you and still not cover a cuff.

Get out.

My wife has lots of money.

The idiot has a wife?

What's wrong with her? Blind, thief, or a damned cripple? She's not. Don't talk

about her like that.

Someone's upset.

Guess we got it right. No, shut up. Stop saying that. Get out.

Who gave you permission to lay a hand on my wife?

She's a Falcone. Oh, she really is a cripple.

An idiot and a cripple. A match made in heaven.

You have a death wish?

Threatening us?

This is Fifth Avenue.

Show us a card if you want to shop.

If you can't afford it, get out.

How much money could a pair of cripples have? Get out or we're calling the

police. Please, let's go. Go?

Where?

Bring me everything in this store.

Everything. Can you even afford one piece?

One more word, and you'll be at the bottom of the Hudson tonight.

A misunderstanding.

That's all this is. I'll get our finest necklace right away.

Please, spare us.

Here, please take a look.

Go on, try it on.

It's so pretty.

Okay.

Forget it.

I'd better go with that little fool.

Quinn, let's go.

Do I look pretty?

Come here.

Closer.

Beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful.

I think so, too.

I love this dress.

That's all that matters. If my wife likes it, Quinn, buy everything in the

store. Buy the store, too. Put it in my wife's name. Now.

Yes, boss.

Enough? Yes, yes, more than enough.

Chloe, let's go home.

Yes, home.

Send everything to this address.

Of course, right away.

I can't believe how wrong we were.

That woman in the wheelchair is loaded.

Gorgeous, too.

And she treats her wife like a queen.

Tell me about it. That silly girl's so lucky.

Though she really is stunning.

Those two were made for each other.

I'm so jealous.

So beautiful.

She can calm the bloodthirsty Caucasian mascus.

I was blind to agree to switch brides.

I let a priceless woman slip away.

Darling, what the hell are you talking about?

That idiot nearly had me whipped to death. My wounds have barely healed and

you're still thinking about her?

Vanessa, you've got it all wrong.

You're the only woman I want.

I'll buy you any jewelry you want.

Don't be angry. I was wrong.

I'll make it up to you.

Show me all your latest pieces.

I'm terribly sorry, ma'am.

Everything in the store was just purchased.

Who the hell has that kind of money? Tell them to hand it over.

That lady over there.

It's her.

She's beautiful.

That dress was made for her. How can that stupid bitch afford any of this?

She can do more than afford it.

That boss bought every item here.

Then she bought the whole store and put it in Mrs. Falcone's name.

Darling! Go get it all back for me!

Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?

That damned cripple.

How dare she spoil that idiot like this?

Boss. Take that beast to the kennels out back.

It doesn't go near my wife without my permission.

Yes.

She's barely let go of it for three days.

You must be dying of jealousy, boss.

My wife!

My wife!

What are you so happy about?

My friends wrote to me.

I like you.

Do you know what that means?

Yes. My friends told me.

Tell me then.

They said if I like you, I should give you a present.

Like the presents you give me.

So you have a present for me?

Nina said to give you this.

It's a present.

It'll make you happy.

My little fool does think of me after all.

Do you know what this is?

No, but she said, do you like it?

Do you like it?

This present?

Yes, I... I would like it very much.

Oh, then I'll put it on for you.

No peeking!

Alright, no peeking.

It's like wearing an open window.

I'm a little cold.

It tickles.

That tickles.

She has the mind of a child.

If I touched her now, I'd be the real monster.

Go to bed.

Get some sleep.

Where are you going?

To take a cold shower.

A cold shower? But it's snowing. You'll get sick.

I'm burning up. I'll be fine.

Close your eyes. Go to sleep.

Can my wife's mind recover?

Was she born with this condition, boss?

Or did something happen to her?

I don't know.

Boss, Arthur Vance's birthday is in ten days.

We can find out the truth when we visit the Vance estate.

If something caused it, can you treat her?

In that case, if we could find a sample of the neurotoxin that stunted her

development... Find the original neurotoxin that

stunted her development.

And we can reverse engineer a serum to cure her.

That's impossible.

Doctor, you said that same serum is the only thing that can cure the boss's legs

and her rage disorder.

But the original sample vanished over a decade ago.

I've had countless dark web hackers search Manhattan's underworld for years.

Nothing. Then get more people.

Keep looking.

We'll turn North America upside down if we have to.

We'll find it.

Boss. You honor our home with your presence.

Having you and your wife here for my birthday is a privilege.

Chloe, my darling.

Mommy's missed you so much. Come, sit down. I made all your favorites.

Don't touch me, Mrs. Vance.

If you don't want that hand, I can cut it off right now.

Please, boss. No offense intended.

My wife hasn't seen her daughter in so long.

She's a little overwhelmed. Please.

Take the seats of honor.

My God.

So the rumors are true.

Stop staring at her.

She belongs to the head of the Falcons now, not you.

I'm not staring. Stop making things up.

I know you regret it.

You... Chloe, sit down and eat.

I'm not allowed to eat at the table.

I'll just stand here.

have some leftovers otherwise otherwise they'll hit me

Chloe what are you talking about we'd never make you eat leftovers enough

sit down now

I

didn't sneak any food I gave it all to Vanessa

what the hell are you talking about

It's all right. You're safe.

Don't be afraid.

I'm here.

No one will ever lay a finger on you again.

I'm scared.

What you did to her was a hundred times worse than I imagined.

Boss, my sister's deceiving you.

She's always making things up.

We're her family.

How could we ever abuse her?

Exactly.

The Vances are a wealthy, respected family. Our eldest daughter going

hungry? Impossible.

Boss, you can't judge us on an idiot's word alone.

That's right.

Chloe's childhood fever damaged her brain. Her mind was never the same.

So we loved her even more.

We've given her everything we possibly could.

Our parents felt so guilty.

They even gave her the best room. And anything she wanted, she got.

Otherwise, how could she have been lucky enough to marry you in such style?

Isn't that right, boss?

Really?

Then I'd like to see where my wife lived before she married me. Of course.

Let's go.

Everyone's here.

See for yourselves.

Then perhaps people will stop spreading these nasty rumors that we abused my

sister.

Thank God Vanessa was smart enough to pass off her own bedroom as that

idiot's. Shut up.

Keep your voice down.

Do you want Valeria to hear?

Damn that lunatic. Why did she have to meddle now?

This is my sister's room. Please, come in.

Oh, look at this room.

So elegant.

My goodness.

Isn't that the antique vase that sold for a fortune at Sudeby's last year?

Right here in her room!

Like I said, Chloe's my darling girl. I adore her.

How could I ever hurt her?

But the way Chloe reacted... That didn't look like an act.

Chloe isn't all there.

She acts like this all the time. Please don't take it seriously.

You see, boss?

We've never mistreated her.

But Chloe uses her condition to say outrageous things.

It makes people think badly of us. No.

That's not true. This isn't... Don't be afraid, silly.

This is your room, isn't it? What makes you say that, boss? You need proof!

I had the servants remove everything of mine.

There's no way she can tell.

It's Chloe's room now.

Proof? I'm a Falcone.

I don't need proof.

I just need to believe my wife.

Chloe?

Take us to your real room.

No. Absolutely not.

She's an idiot. She doesn't know anything.

As you wish, boss.

I don't want to hear these flies buzzing.

This is my bed.

When it rains, mushrooms grow on it.

My God.

No one should have to live like this. My dogs have better kennels than this dump.

Chloe, you'll never have to live like this again.

This is your best room, Mr. Vance?

Don't you owe my wife and my an explanation?

Darling!

Are you just going to let them slander me and my parents?

You did this to your own sister.

You brought this on yourself.

Even that cripple protects her wife Tristan just lets them strip me of every

shred of dignity My wife remembers how you secretly took care of her back then

Please take it it's her way of saying thank you.

Thank you.

Thank her for me

I'm

so sleepy. I want to go to bed Of course. Let's leave this filthy place.

Tristan, don't forget what your father told you to do.

Valeria, wait!

There's something important we need to discuss.

I don't have time for your nonsense.

Just a few interesting stories from Chloe's childhood?

Don't you want to know how she became an idiot?

Take my wife back to the car.

Stay with her.

Don't leave her side.

Yes, boss.

Everyone called Chloe a genius when she was little.

But when she was five, there was an unfortunate incident.

Stop stalling.

Tell me.

Now.

Have a drink with me, boss.

Then I'll tell you.

You have three seconds.

Talk.

The drug in that wine has no color or smell, but it can send your rage

disorder into overdrive.

Today's the day you die.

Cut her to pieces!

You insects think you can hurt me?

Impossible. You're having an episode.

How can you still be this strong?

Ask someone in hell.

Let... let me go!

Darling!

She's completely lost control.

All this over an idiot. Now everyone, even the mayor, bows and scrapes to that

fool because of her.

If I can steal you away...

Valyria, you must be suffering.

Let me give you some relief.

Can I... Can I have another piece of meat?

No.

You're not her.

You're not her!

Quinn, I'm hungry.

I'll get you some food. Please wait here, ma'am.

Ma'am!

What happened? I saw Tristan put something in the wine.

It's triggered the boss's rage disorder.

Mercenaries have her surrounded in the pavilion. She's in danger!

My wife's in danger.

Why is this episode so bad?

I can't hold on.

The great head of the falconers.

Who'd have thought this is how you'd end?

Die.

Soon. Everything you have.

Your power, your territory, your woman.

It'll all be mine.

My... My wife!

She's insane! She's throwing her life away for her!

So cold.

Chloe, why put yourself through this?

Is a dying cripple worth your life?

Come here.

Let me warm you up.

You're bad. Don't touch me.

You shot my wife. You're a bad man.

Why? Why does everyone revolve around that idiot?

She's an idiot. She can barely function.

Everything she has should be mine, you stupid bitch.

Who are you putting on this little show for?

She's a cripple.

And you treat her like she's precious?

My wife isn't a cripple. She feeds me.

She's the kindest person I know.

Fine. If you love her so much, die with her.

If I can't have...

Your legs.

Tell me, how do you want to die?

I was too late, boss. I'll accept any punishment.

Boss, your legs.

You can stand?

Clean up this mess first.

Yes, boss.

Rich!

Vanessa!

Take her.

The mayor's son just tried to assassinate me.

Manhattan's politicians have declared war on the Falcos.

Manhattan's politicians have declared war on the Falconess. No.

You had an episode. You went mad and attacked first.

You little bastard.

Who gave you permission to try to kill Boss Valeria?

Father, I was following your orders.

Please, boss. I had nothing to do with this.

I'll punish my son. You'll have justice.

Our families have kept the peace for generations.

Can't we put this behind us? No, we can't.

My wife fell through the ice.

He shot her. There was so much blood.

Tristan has to feel what she felt.

My wife's right.

I nearly died.

He has to pay.

What are you waiting for? Throw him in!

Don't be afraid.

I'll teach you.

Take revenge for me yourself.

Look at him.

Aim.

I'm not afraid.

Quick! Get him out!

Chloe! You vicious idiot!

Happy now? I... I didn't... Tristan! He hurt my wife first!

Do you want to die?

Chloe is my wife, the lady of the Falcone family.

Who the hell are you to talk to her like that?

Get over here.

Kneel.

Give me your hand.

One day, you'll pay for this in blood.

Remember this.

If anyone hurts you or tries to take what's yours, you hit back, just like

that. Whatever happens, I'll stand behind you.

Yes, I'll remember.

Tristan's badly hurt. My daughter's been punished.

Please let this end.

My wife's had her revenge.

I won't pursue the assassination attempt any further.

But you sent her to my estate to pay off your debt without so much as a decent

dowry. Mr. Vance, how will you make that right?

Of course there's a dowry. We were still arranging it.

Tomorrow. It'll all be delivered to the Falcone estate.

Tomorrow.

That's better.

Chloe, let's go home.

Home! Time to eat!

Son!

Are you alright?

The bolt struck his chest.

I've removed it and stopped the bleeding.

But he'll need rest.

Father, how could Valeria stand?

Isn't she a cripple?

How should I know?

North America's best specialists swear she'd never walk again. But there she

was, standing.

Has she been pretending all along?

Testing us? That lunatic was terrifying enough in a wheelchair.

Now that her legs are healed, who knows what she'll do?

Yes, Father.

Even bed-red, Valeria alone kept every politician here under her thumb.

Even as a cripple.

Valeria had all of Manhattan under her thumb.

From now on... Her legs were fine all along.

If only I'd known, I would have... Bitch.

You bitch.

You actually took your clothes off to seduce Valeria?

At the Vounce Estate?

In front of everyone?

So what if I did?

You're allowed to regret it, but I'm not?

Regret what?

Getting engaged to you.

The head of the falconers was supposed to be my wife.

I should be the mafia queen.

Everything that idiot has, it should all be mine.

You don't get to regret anything!

You poisonous bitch.

You're not worth one finger on your sister's hand.

What's... what's wrong?

My legs.

They're suddenly healed.

Do you know why?

I don't know.

I just saw you stand up and chase all the bad people away.

My wife's amazing!

How can anyone in this world be this clueless?

She was willing to die for me.

At the lake today.

Why did you jump in to save me?

Because you're good to me.

You saved my life.

To thank you, I bought you a little three-story building.

A building?

Can you eat it?

It's a Michelin-starred restaurant.

I've hired over a dozen top chefs from across North America.

From now on, whatever you want to eat, they'll make it for you.

Really?

All for me?

You're as alone.

Wow! You're the best! I like you!

Um, I didn't mean to.

I was just so, so happy.

You kiss me and run? Too late.

Well?

A miracle.

It's a miracle.

It's a medical miracle.

Boss, your arrow wound, your legs, all healed.

Even the toxins behind your rage disorder are completely gone.

That's wonderful.

No ordinary herb or antibody could do this.

Something that can repair nerves and tissue in an instant?

Only an extremely rare, specific antibody serum could do this.

Bring me the blood analyzer. Yes, boss.

Specific antibody serum.

It can neutralize any toxin.

I've searched for so many years, and the one person who could save me has been in

my arms all along.

If my wife has this antibody serum, why hasn't her mind recovered?

Boss, as I asked before, was she born this way, or did something cause it?

It happened suddenly, during an aptitude test, when she was five.

She must have been injected with a powerful neuro-inhibitory toxin. It

blocked her hippocampus. That's why her mind stayed at a child's level.

How do we unblock it?

We've developed a targeted treatment and injected her with it. But breaking

through 15 years of neural blockage will take more.

A life or dead shock, or the smell of the same poison.

An extreme adrenaline surge could force the brain to reconnect those severed

pathways, but it's far too dangerous.

I won't put her at risk.

She doesn't need to be smarter.

I'll protect her for the rest of her life.

How's the Vance bankruptcy liquidation coming?

Their assets go up for auction in Manhattan's underground market tonight

including things your wife's birth mother left her.

Have the car ready.

I'm taking my wife to reclaim what's hers.

The Vances are bankrupt.

Even my mother's antiques are being auctioned off to pay our debts.

Valeria's gone too far.

My father's reelection is ruined, too.

I've paid a fortune for the best assassins on the Dark Ed.

They'll be at tonight's auction.

Are you insane?

If you fail, the Falcons will kill us all.

Once Valeria's dead, the Falcons will have no leader.

As for my idiot sister, I found the exact same neurotoxin on the Dark Web.

Tonight, I'll send her to hell myself.

They all think Chloe's an imbecile.

Only I know what a genius she used to be.

I ruined her 15 years ago.

Tonight, I'll kill her.

Vanessa, I'm hungry.

Here, Chloe.

Eat this.

Vanessa, you're the best.

Don't blame me, Chloe.

I won't let you inherit before me.

Next, an heirloom sapphire necklace left by Chloe Vance's birth mother. Bidding

opens at $1 million.

$10 million.

You thought you could use the same poison on me twice?

Chloe, you're back.

Sorry to keep you waiting, my wife.

Sorry to disappoint you, Vanessa.

That neurotoxin you put in my donut 15 years ago didn't destroy me after all.

What the hell are you talking about?

You were jealous.

Afraid I'd take the inheritance.

So you ruined me.

Left me burning with fever. An idiot anyone could abuse. I didn't! You're

lying! You really poisoned your sister?

Falcon hackers cracked the dark web.

These are the records of your neurotoxin purchases.

Back then and yesterday.

No.

No. Chloe.

Everything we did, we were wrong.

The Vances are bankrupt.

But one word from you, and the Mayor and the Falcons will help rebuild our

family.

Where were you when I was starving and freezing in that basement?

When I was being tortured?

I don't care what happens to the Vances.

She should have been my wife.

Vanessa, you poisonous bitch. I had no idea my fiancé was capable of poisoning

her own sister.

The engagement's off. We're done.

Chloe, we were engaged first.

Say the word, and I'll marry you right now.

Who the hell do you think you are?

You think you can have my woman?

You hypocrites!

You used to say you loved me. Now I'm the monster?

You all helped torture Chloe for years!

Tristan, you said you loved me. You demanded we switch brides. You refused

to marry an idiot.

Now you're blaming it all on me?

If I'm losing everything, you're going to hell with me.

Don't look at that filth.

Let's go home.

Valeria, thank you.

For giving me shelter and love when I had no one.

You saved me.

Without you, that rage disorder would have consumed me a long time ago.

Wait here.

Where are you going? I owe you a proper present.

Be good and wait here for me.

Alright?

My wife.

Will you need another cold shower this time?

Chloe, I like this very much.

Chloe, you're mine for the rest of your life.

In this life, the next, and every life after.

I'm yours forever.
