I really need you with us, Ingrid... I think papa wants you home even more than I do.

Ingrid is silent. She merely casts a cold stare at the Perro before her.

Come back to us, and I'll tell you the truth about Lisa's injury.

I see there's nothing else to discuss.

Grazie mille for separating me from Lavinia on your own accord, but it was not necessary.

I had my own plans in mind.

Ingrid waves her hand, and turns to leave.

Ingrid, I knew you were back on your first day here.

The famiglia has never forgotten you.

Also... I saw the famiglia crest stashed away in your pocket. You're not as sure as you make yourself look.

The Venezias' doors are always open to you.

Well... You're already a true-blue Siracusan yourself.

You honor me.

Wait, Ingrid. Got news you might be interested in.

I know you two. Saw you both next to Antonio the other day.

I believe I made myself clear with him earlier.

We know where Luchino de Montano is. We bagged him and brought him back to the Venezia residence in the city.

We can't take you to him, but we can tell you where exactly he is inside.

Why sell out your own employer?

And how do you know what Umberto asked me to do?

Uh... I don't know how to explain this properly!

Wait, he ain't lying to you.

Minchia. Someone made us do this, okay? We don't know how you're linked to the tailor boy, we're just trying to survive!

Survive?

Explain everything clearly or you can kiss your lives goodbye.

Ingrid knows how to use her blade well. She knows when to take someone's life with it, and when to make people believe so with it.

Unfortunately, Capone and Gambino have no idea she's using it for the latter right now.

Che noia. I thought you were serious at first.

You goddamn pazza!

He's got a sturdy neck, so you might have to put your strength into it.

...Lappland Saluzzo?

Oh. You know me?

We met once.

You've grown up so much, but I remember that smile of yours.

We've met?

I don't remember that.

Ten years ago, in Brunello. I was mediating a dispute between your Famiglia Saluzzo and the Morettis.

Your family was obviously on the losing side, and you were just a teenager then—the successor bearing Alberto's highest expectations. But what you really wanted to do...

Was to seize an opportunity to bury the famiglia six feet under.

Haha. I was young and frivolous then.

People mature. Now all of Siracusa is my enemy.

You really <i>are</i> insane.

Must be sarcasm with that smile on your face.

Why tell me this? Is there a conflict of interest between the Saluzzos and Venezias?

Why would I care about the Saluzzos' fate?

The little tailor owes me two suits, is all. When you see him, do pass on the reminder.

It's rude to keep your clients waiting.

...I'll ask him about it.

And just so you know: You're such a boring Siracusan, but quite amusing as a mother.

I see even messenger work is an arduous task for you two.

If you want us to do stuff for you, let us tell the boss first at least. I don't want the Venezias after me.

What else do you want from us, Lappland?

Wow. I didn't think the both of you would be so willing to work for me.

Relax, I'm not interested in poaching men from the Perro.

Just be good and stay by his side. Help him out when he needs it.

Of course, I'll reward you by divulging where the missing truck is, the one you have been looking for.

...Just what are you up to?

I'm making you both look good to Venezia Junior, of course.

Don't you deserve it?

Gambino. I got a feeling we're gonna end up fed to the fins for real this time.

Yup.
