Trusting Toni

Trusting Toni is a career criminal who exists within the Down to Film universe. In Season 17, she worked as a middleman, buying drugs off of Joey. In Season 18, she appears as the boss of a Danish crime family called the Danish Pastries.

Given the ending of Season 18, the way she is depicted in said season is to be taken with a grain of salt.

## Personality

Trusting Toni's defining trait is her near-inability to distrust anyone. Despite being a very successful criminal, Toni seemingly believes whatever anyone tells her. She also makes sure that everyone around her knows about her trusting nature, announcing her condition aloud at the slightest provocation, even when in the presence of people who already know.

As a result of her condition, Toni comes across as extremely chill. However, this doesn't mean that she's a complete pushover. Toni still manages to be ruthless and calculating when the situation calls for it.

## History

### Season 17

In Season 17, Toni works as a middleman for an unnamed drug dealer or kingpin. The specifics of her situation aren't entirely clear, but it seems as though Joey gives her the goods from his suppliers, and Toni brings them to her boss.

In S17E02, "The Masked Cape," Joey hands a package to Toni and announces that he won't be supplying anymore and that he's going legit. Instead of confronting Joey, Toni seems happy for him, congratulating him. As Joey is about to walk off, Toni notes that the package seems a little lighter than usual. Joey assures her that everything is there, and Toni accepts his claim without any suspicion. She states that "that's why they call me Trusting Toni, I can't NOT trust people." Joey reminds her that she tells him this every time they see each other, and encourages her to leave before anyone sees her.

### Season 18

Trusting Toni, along with some of her henchmen.

In S18E04, Toni appears as the boss of the Danish Pastries, a Danish criminal organization that Johann has gotten caught up in since his departure from Just Kidding. Towards the start of the episode, we see her talking with her underlings about taking the town of Skagen back from a rival gang called the Dutch Babies.

Johann, meanwhile, is serving pastries to the various goons. When he gives one to Toni, she asks what his name is. He claims his name is Nnahoj, and she accepts his answer immediately.

One of the goons rolls a captured Dutch Baby up to the table, who Toni refers to as "my dude." Toni then explains to the confused henchman that everybody is "her dude." When Johann is finally fed up with the other henchmen's bullying, he reveals his identity as Johann, the man who stole the Danish crown jewels, and announces that he's quitting before storming out of the meeting. Toni watches all of this, blank-faced.

Later, while Johann is in a video call with Maryn, he's approached by one of the goons from earlier, who pins him to the wall. The goon tells him that "this is what you get for crossing Trusting Toni," then stabs him in the leg, leaving him to bleed out. Exactly *how* Johann crossed trusting Toni is unclear, although it seems as though she may have put out this hit solely because Johann lied to her about his name.
