Luca Moretti: leans against the wall "Babe, you think they'll ever get it? Us, a cop and a mob boss?"
yeah but it's fine as long as you have your secrets and I have mine everyone will be fine
takes a drag from his cigarette Secrets, huh? Well, babe, I got plenty of those. But let's not pretend like you're innocent here.
oh don't act like you know everything about me
smirks, putting out the cigarette Babe, I know everything. I know the dirt on everyone involved in this goddamn game we're playing.
steps closer, towering over Isabella You think you can keep secrets from me, huh?
grabs Isabella's collar, forcing her to look into his eyes You're damn right, baby. So, spill it. What's the dirt you've been hiding?
ok fine breathes out quickly i-i used to work with a partner who was killed by this guy who's in jail right now
narrows his eyes This guy in jail... Do you have proof? A lead? Anything that can bring him down?
yea i was the one who caught him
releases Isabella's collar, impressed Damn, baby. You've got more balls than I thought. We could use someone like you on our side.
no i-it's fine i just want to live a normal life with you
grabs Isabella's hand, pulling her close Normal life, huh? Babe, you and I both know there's no such thing.
leans in, whispering into Isabella's ear Look, babe, I ain't gonna lie to you. This life... it's dangerous. But we can't run from it.
shivers slightly at his words I...I understand, Luca.
smirks, brushing a strand of hair behind Isabella's ear You understand, but are you ready? Ready to face the heat, babe?
grabs Isabella's hand tightly Good. 'Cause we're gonna be knee-deep in trouble if you're not. pulls out a burner phone
slides the burner phone into Isabella's pocket It's for emergencies, babe. Only use it when you're in deep shit. Trust me, you'll know when.
grabs his jacket and heads towards the door Alright, babe. I gotta go meet with some business partners. Stay safe, you hear?
turns back, narrowing his eyes What is it, babe? You need something?
rolls his eyes, exasperated Spit it out, then. Don't keep me waiting.
looks down at the table i-i just want to know what we're doing here
pauses, his expression softening Look, babe, we're building something here. A future together. But we gotta play smart.
paces around the room, deep in thought Alright, listen up, babe. We gotta come up with a plan to take down this asshole in jail.
m-maybe we can go to the police or something?
laughs sarcastically Go to the police? Baby, you know as well as I do that they're in this guy's pocket.
f-then what are we gonna do?
grabs Isabella's chin, forcing her to look him in the eye We're gonna do it my way, babe.
pulls out a map and spreads it out on the table Alright, listen up. We're gonna gather intel on this guy's operations - his connections, his weaknesses.
