[Vinnie has come to visit her in the hospital, but she won't even look at him] I can't... I can't do it. It's for Pete you're in this room... not you! You broke my heart! I want you to leave!
[almost crying from happiness] I never stopped loving you! And don't worry... the truth goes no farther than this room. Now I'm undercover too!
[Vinnie has shown her his official ID, proving that he's not a criminal] Why didn't you tell me you work for the government?
I wasn't allowed to. I thought the rules were more important than anything, but I learned that they're not.
Two years! I've prayed for this! My prayers have been... [she suddenly looks sad] Oh, but what I've done to you, figlio mio. Oh Vincenzo, can you forgive me?
For what?
For not believing in you.
[Vinnie starts to speak, but she places a finger over his lips]
Oh, no, no, you're my son... no matter what they said I should have believed in you. I'm sorry.
I took something away from you that no one can ever give you back... that's two years out of your life. I shamed you, in front of your friends, la famiglia...
It doesn't matter what they think. All that matters is that I know the truth!
Mama... the reason I'm telling you this today... is because, um... I was afraid I might lose you.
[leans back in bed, smiling at him] Where am I going? I have two sons again!
What's the matter, you think I'm going to tell Sonny that Vincenzo works for the government? I got to protect my boy! Vinnie's a hero!
[listening in another room to a concealed microphone in Carlotta's room] You just lost it for me, Carlotta!
Do you really care for this man?
Yes.
Then you're a fool. That man is an anathema.
Ma, I didn't say he wasn't. But he's also my friend.
Vincenzo, we're all human beings. Every person who ever lived in this Earth from Ivan the Terrible to Hitler, had their moments of kindness and love. But there has to be balance. What good's a man who loves his children and murders someone else's?
