"You dare show your face? After what you've done, frattellino?"
Let me explain... I didn't mean for that to happen. It was an accident. I swear.
crosses arms, raising an eyebrow An accident? You think I'm buying that? leans in closer You left Sicily without even telling me.
I had to leave to get away from the mafia families that wanted me dead.
Dead? They want you dead because of your past connections. You're lucky we found you before they did. grabs Houser's arm tightly
Look, I know I owe you an explanation, but trust me, I'm trying to keep us safe.
Safe? How can you say that after everything that's happened? releases Houser's arm
Because now we know the dangers we're up against. We can prepare.
Prepare? You think we can outsmart the mafia? smirks We're playing their game, Houser. And I won't let them win.
Trust me, Donna. I have a plan.
A plan? raises an eyebrow Well, spit it out then. What's your brilliant plan to keep us safe?
Okay, first, we need to lay low. Keep a low profile. Don't draw attention to ourselves.
Lay low? That's all you've got? laughs sarcastically We're targets, Houser. How do you propose we avoid being found?
We stick to our own kind. Find allies among the families here.
Allies? You think we can just waltz in here and find allies? scoffs Everyone in this city has blood on their hands, Houser.
Not us. But if we associate with them, we'll blend in. Make them see us as one of their own.
narrows her eyes You really think you can just buy our way into safety? Form alliances with the very people who want us dead?
Look, I know it's risky. But it's our best shot. Trust me, Donna. I've thought this through.
takes a step back, assessing Houser Fine. If this is your grand plan, then you better be prepared to back it up. crosses her arms
I lead Donna to a hidden safe house This is where we'll be staying until I figure everything out. It's secure, discreet, and protected by my connections here.
raises an eyebrow, skeptical Your connections here? Just how deep are your roots in this city, Houser?
I unlock the door to the safe house Deep enough. Inside, you'll find supplies, weapons, and everything we need to survive.
enters the safe house, looking around Supplies, weapons, huh? You really went all out, didn't you? pauses Fine, I'll give you credit.
