Transcript
00:00:00Mr. Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson, and she was carrying his child.
00:00:07I'm gonna bring my daughter-in-law home, where she belongs.
00:00:12My brother, I will protect your legacy, and I will protect our family.
00:00:18Who are you, really?
00:00:21A mere day she has swung with our family out of millions of dollars.
00:00:26I've wanted Luka for years, and then you waltz in and get his attention in weeks.
00:00:31If I can't have him, I'll destroy him now.
00:00:35Your life belongs to us.
00:00:38Give me one good reason why I should get rid of this baby.
00:00:43From this moment forward, I swear to you, nobody will ever hurt you again.
00:00:49I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:00:56Ava, you're so close, is this a dream?
00:01:02If anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:01:07Ava, I have fallen in love with you.
00:01:10I'm your brother's wife.
00:01:12We didn't do anything wrong, so why are you worried?
00:01:14If you knew I had feelings for your brother, would you hate me?
00:01:18I should never have let you go undercover on that damn business deal.
00:01:36I never even got to say goodbye.
00:01:38Marco, my brother, I will protect your legacy.
00:01:42And I will protect our family.
00:01:50Hey, hey!
00:01:51Who are you?
00:01:52Which family do you work for?
00:01:54I just came to drop off the flowers.
00:01:56I didn't mean to retreat.
00:01:57Luka, look at her.
00:01:59She's hardly a threat.
00:02:00For the flowers.
00:02:01And for the interruption.
00:02:02My apologies.
00:02:06Senor Mancini.
00:02:07Mr. Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson.
00:02:08And she was carrying his child.
00:02:09Get the car.
00:02:10Let me bring my daughter-in-law home.
00:02:11Where she belongs.
00:02:12I'm not afraid, Roberts.
00:02:13I'm afraid.
00:02:14That's what it does, huh?
00:02:15Are you?
00:02:17Come on.
00:02:18Would...
00:02:35They're the products.
00:02:40When I Hogwartsau, it feels less simple.
00:02:41Don't worry, little one.
00:02:45We'll get through this together.
00:02:48Somehow.
00:02:51Well, looky here.
00:02:54Family Jinx is finally six feet under.
00:03:05Derek!
00:03:06Have you lost your mind?
00:03:07What the hell was that?
00:03:08Don't tell me that you're actually planning on keeping that little parasite.
00:03:13This is Marco's baby.
00:03:16This is our child.
00:03:18Of course I'm keeping it.
00:03:20Ever since you got knocked up, you've done nothing to help this family.
00:03:24We've been struggling while you've been out here playing the grieving widow.
00:03:28Give me one good reason why I should get rid of this baby.
00:03:34Because you owe me this.
00:03:37This is your fault.
00:03:40I dropped out of college for this family.
00:03:42I took five jobs.
00:03:44What more could you possibly want?
00:03:45It'll never be enough, Ava.
00:03:46You'll owe us to the day you die.
00:03:50Please.
00:03:52Sweetheart.
00:03:53Think of your brother.
00:03:54I'm going to stomp out that little bastard right now.
00:04:01Send him straight to hell.
00:04:02So he can say hello to his deadbeat dad.
00:04:07Hex!
00:04:08What the hell is going on here?
00:04:28Who the hell are you came for?
00:04:31Ava, right?
00:04:31You were here this morning.
00:04:35Enough, Luca.
00:04:36She's hardly a threat.
00:04:40Ma'am?
00:04:42I'm Helena Mancini.
00:04:44Marco's mother.
00:04:45That means I'm your baby's grandmother.
00:04:52The most powerful mafia family in the country.
00:04:57Marco was my oldest.
00:04:59He was my golden boy.
00:05:00I am so sorry that he concealed his identity from you.
00:05:05You have endured far too much suffering because of it.
00:05:12Plain make-believe, Mancini?
00:05:15Seriously, like, is anybody here actually buying this?
00:05:18Question my identity again,
00:05:20and my men will make sure your other leg looks like your first one.
00:05:25Permanently.
00:05:27What are you doing?
00:05:28Derek, run!
00:05:30Maybe we should just go.
00:05:33One moment here.
00:05:35Anyone who raises a hand to my daughter-in-law
00:05:38deserves to have their fingers snapped.
00:05:42One by one.
00:05:47Come along, my dear.
00:05:49Let's get you home.
00:05:51To your real home.
00:05:52Come on.
00:05:56Welcome home, Signora Ada Mancini.
00:06:17This is where Marco lived.
00:06:21And now, it's your hand.
00:06:30Allow me to introduce you to your personal staff, Mrs. Mancini.
00:06:34Your nutritionist, nanny, maternity nurse.
00:06:36Each of the finest specialists money can acquire.
00:06:38We pledge your absolute dedication to your health and well-being, Signora.
00:06:45Your days of working multiple jobs are over, my dear.
00:06:49Ten million dollars is a little spending money.
00:06:51Well, thank you, but I can't accept this.
00:06:56I married Marco for love, not for his fortune.
00:07:02Practical and principled, my Marco truly had an eye for quality.
00:07:06There is one more member of the family that you need to properly meet.
00:07:12That would be Luca, Marco's younger brother.
00:07:15The brooding iceberg that you encountered this morning.
00:07:18Well, well, well.
00:07:21It's a flower girl from the cemetery.
00:07:24Luca, come meet Ava, your brother's wife.
00:07:27Please, show her proper...
00:07:29Respect!
00:07:35You walk back into a Mancini household?
00:07:38You're either incredibly stupid or incredibly brave.
00:07:43Luca, open this door immediately!
00:07:48Everyone, around back, now!
00:07:53Who are you, really?
00:07:56I'll be watching your every move.
00:07:59Your every breath.
00:08:01So tell me...
00:08:02Who are you, really?
00:08:06My brother's dead, and you appear suddenly?
00:08:09Was this your endgame all along?
00:08:11Our fortune?
00:08:12I didn't know Marco's a Mancini.
00:08:15And now?
00:08:15I don't need this.
00:08:16I can walk right out those doors.
00:08:18You can't walk anywhere!
00:08:19She's not going anywhere!
00:08:20She's not going anywhere!
00:08:24And get your hands off of her!
00:08:27She is carrying Marco's child.
00:08:29Oh, is she?
00:08:31How do we even know it is Marco's child?
00:08:33Convenient timing, wouldn't you say?
00:08:38Question me on you, Luca.
00:08:39Don't you dare question my child.
00:08:42That's my girl.
00:08:44Backbone of steel.
00:08:46Are you hurt?
00:08:48Luca, you are too rude.
00:08:51Ava is a good girl.
00:08:52You are falsely accusing her.
00:08:54Come on, sweetie.
00:08:56Mom's going to take you and get some clothes.
00:08:57Pay no attention to this fool.
00:09:03You may be fooling them.
00:09:05But I will find out about you, and I will expose you.
00:09:08These are all the latest European styles.
00:09:26Take your pick.
00:09:27I have plenty to wear.
00:09:29And these are much too expensive.
00:09:31Oh, not to worry.
00:09:32It's all on Luca's card.
00:09:34Treat my dear daughter-in-law well.
00:09:37Try to be open and honest.
00:10:02This weight on my chest, I don't want it.
00:10:06I'd hate to be breaking, I promise.
00:10:10Cause I owe you the truth that I...
00:10:13Oh, isn't she gorgeous?
00:10:19She's adequate.
00:10:24Always the tough guy act with you.
00:10:27Your eyes tell a different story, my son.
00:10:29Oh, yes.
00:10:31This is just perfect.
00:10:33We will take one of everything in her size.
00:10:38Mom.
00:10:40Mom.
00:10:41That's too generous.
00:10:43Nonsense.
00:10:44We're family now.
00:10:47I am putting Luca's contact info into your phone.
00:10:51Reach out to him.
00:10:52Whatever you need.
00:10:54And don't worry.
00:10:55He's actually quite a softie.
00:10:59Now, shall we continue shopping?
00:11:01Yes.
00:11:05Sir.
00:11:06Yes.
00:11:07Your mother has spent approximately 15 million dollars on Miss Jackson in the last week alone.
00:11:13God.
00:11:15In mere days, she has swung the dollar family out of millions of dollars.
00:11:18She's clearly not an amateur.
00:11:21She's also been spending a substantial amount since marrying your brother to pay off her brother's debts.
00:11:27I want everything on her.
00:11:30Everything!
00:11:30If she is playing us for fools, then I will personally ensure that she regrets ever hearing the name Mancino.
00:11:38I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:11:47I hate to put extra stress on your shoulders, but we need to discuss the incredible cost of your husband's care and how the bill will be paid.
00:11:57Limited edition is perfect for you.
00:12:04Marco, you just focus on getting better, okay?
00:12:08Don't worry about the bills.
00:12:10I've got it covered.
00:12:19Your brother married Miss Jackson under false pretenses.
00:12:22She worked several jobs to make that money.
00:12:25And when your brother got sick, she worked to pay off his medical bills.
00:12:29And then day and night for his funeral.
00:12:32Did I get her all wrong?
00:12:33No.
00:12:38Mother is unwell.
00:12:47You need to return home immediately.
00:12:52What's wrong with mom?
00:12:53Is she hurt?
00:12:58Mom?
00:13:00What's going on?
00:13:01Ava, please don't be angry.
00:13:10We just had to get you here.
00:13:16What are you doing?
00:13:17Since you won't help us financially, we had to find another solution.
00:13:21Victor Fang.
00:13:23That old loan shark's willing to give us $80,000 just to marry you.
00:13:27Are you insane?
00:13:34I'm pregnant.
00:13:36Your husband's dead, Ava.
00:13:37Why keep his baby?
00:13:39Think about your family.
00:13:40Mr. Fang is waiting.
00:13:42Don't make this harder than it needs to be.
00:13:45You are not selling me off to Victor Fang!
00:13:48If she dies, how will you provide for this child?
00:13:53She's calling someone!
00:14:06Hello?
00:14:12Ava's in danger.
00:14:13We need to move.
00:14:13Go, go, go!
00:14:14You think someone's coming to save you?
00:14:41Who dares manhandle my future bride?
00:14:43Mr. Fang.
00:14:44Oh, it's such a pleasure.
00:14:46This is Ava, my sister, who we discussed.
00:14:49Ooh, two for the price of one, I see.
00:14:52Oh, it's just some dead guy's kid.
00:14:54If you want, I can take care of it right now.
00:14:56We could offer you a discount.
00:14:58I think $60,000 is more than fair.
00:15:00Pennies for somebody of your wealth.
00:15:02Derek, you're sick!
00:15:03I'm your sister.
00:15:04This is your nephew.
00:15:05My son's future is more important to me than that stupid little bastard of yours.
00:15:10Hey, hey, no need to be so rough with such a beautiful lady.
00:15:16Now, dear, just take this right here, and it'll make things easier for everybody.
00:15:21Oh, okay.
00:15:25You're a little feisty, I see.
00:15:28Maybe you just need a little personal attention.
00:15:31Get out of my way!
00:15:57See, I always knew Ava was trouble.
00:15:59Her husband's barely cold, and she already has been out of here.
00:16:03Who the hell do you think you are?
00:16:07I'm looking at Mancini.
00:16:09Mancini, you idiot.
00:16:12You killed me.
00:16:13How did my sister get caught up with the likes of you?
00:16:15Ava is my brother's widow, and her baby is his only child.
00:16:20So it's true?
00:16:22Her baby's the heir to the Mancini family?
00:16:25Looks like your wife is pregnant, too.
00:16:28Yes, yes, yes, it's true.
00:16:30I swear, we didn't know.
00:16:31Please, please.
00:16:33You will be dealt with, tenfold, what you did to Ava.
00:16:40Get a doctor!
00:16:41Get a doctor!
00:16:42Get a car, and deal with him.
00:16:43Get a car, and deal with him.
00:17:13Mom, hey.
00:17:22How's Ava?
00:17:24How's the baby?
00:17:25The doctors are examining her now.
00:17:31Doctor, how is she?
00:17:32Ms. Mancini has a severe ankle fracture that it needs immediate surgery.
00:17:37The medication could cause a miscarriage, so we need to have consent before we can proceed.
00:17:44Do it, whatever it takes.
00:17:45No!
00:17:49Doctor, is there any way to do the surgery without anesthesia?
00:17:53That's not medically advisable.
00:17:55The pain would be too excruciating.
00:17:56This baby is Marco's only child, his only heir.
00:18:03I can't risk losing it.
00:18:06I can handle the pain.
00:18:08Oh, my brave girl.
00:18:11God bless you.
00:18:13You know, I think somebody should be with her during the operation.
00:18:16The pain would be just too intense.
00:18:19I'll stay with her.
00:18:44How'd it go, doctor?
00:18:44It's a success.
00:18:48You're a real trooper, if you don't mind me saying.
00:18:51I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:18:54Senora Ava, please, let me help you.
00:19:19Okay, right this way only.
00:19:21I know your stay at the hospital could not have been easy for you.
00:19:30That's why I'm having 30% of Mancini Group shares put into your name.
00:19:36No.
00:19:37Mom, I cannot accept that.
00:19:40We're family.
00:19:42It's what you deserve.
00:19:44Actually, I've been thinking about doing something else.
00:19:49I'd like to go back to work.
00:19:51Work?
00:19:52But, but, you're pregnant.
00:19:55Oh, honey, if you need money, I'll just transfer some into your account.
00:19:57No, no, it's not about money.
00:20:00Marco always said that we should make our own way.
00:20:04And I want our child to know his father and know what he valued.
00:20:13You are as stubborn as he was.
00:20:17Well, you're going to need protection.
00:20:20You'll accompany her.
00:20:21No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:25I can manage on my own.
00:20:30In the morning, 10 a.m., I'll be at the entrance.
00:20:33You know that I can talk to your manager for you.
00:20:45Make sure that they accommodate every need.
00:20:47No need.
00:20:48I don't want any special treatments.
00:20:49But, thank you for that ride.
00:20:54You know, Ava, you do not need to be afraid of me.
00:20:58I can help you.
00:20:59Whenever you need.
00:21:00Why is she even back?
00:21:21That pregnant belly ruins the store's aesthetic.
00:21:23These pregnant women know exactly what they're doing.
00:21:26Hiding behind maternity protections.
00:21:28We can't legally fire her.
00:21:31Could you reassign her to the warehouse?
00:21:33Maybe move some stock around?
00:21:34And if something happens to her or the baby,
00:21:36you want that liability?
00:21:39We can't fire her,
00:21:41but we certainly can make her life difficult enough
00:21:43that she decides to quit on her own.
00:21:58And that concludes our quarterly revenue projections.
00:22:10Sir, forgive my directness,
00:22:13but are we here because you're concerned
00:22:16about your sister-in-law?
00:22:23Should I have the car brought around
00:22:24for your next meeting?
00:22:26Can I answer the meeting?
00:22:27I've been meaning to talk to you.
00:22:33Given your, um, condition,
00:22:36I've been worried about potential liability issues.
00:22:39My pregnancy will not affect my performance.
00:22:42I do not intend to take advantage of company policy.
00:22:45Oh, glad to hear that.
00:22:49Then you won't mind proving your commitment.
00:22:51Sell $1 million worth of merchandise by today
00:22:55and I'll put all of my concerns to rest.
00:22:57I've seen your sales record.
00:23:00I know you can do it.
00:23:21Sir, half an hour until closing
00:23:43and Mrs. Mancini has already surpassed
00:23:46the store's average monthly sales in a single day.
00:23:48But she's still a great deal short
00:23:51of the manager's impossible target.
00:23:56She did make it clear
00:23:58that she doesn't want any special treatment.
00:24:00But I have been neglecting my own wardrobe.
00:24:03And the Rossley family event
00:24:04will require several new suits.
00:24:06Now that you mention it, sir,
00:24:08your formal collection is missing
00:24:09quite a few essential items.
00:24:12And I should do some personal shopping,
00:24:14shouldn't I?
00:24:18Sir, may I assist you?
00:24:21Sir, this limited edition silk tie
00:24:24would go perfect with your complexion.
00:24:25Sir, I'd be happy to take your measurements,
00:24:28personally.
00:24:29Sir, as store manager,
00:24:31I would be honored to assist you
00:24:33with your needs myself.
00:24:35I'd actually like Miss Jackson
00:24:37to assist me.
00:24:38I hear her taste in men's fashion
00:24:40is exceptional.
00:24:41Shall we begin?
00:24:47Right this way, sir.
00:24:54All right, I just need to take your measurements.
00:24:57Whoa, what are you doing?
00:25:00Your measurements are good.
00:25:02I just needed you to take the jacket off.
00:25:05Well, we don't have much time.
00:25:07Now, imagine me like this.
00:25:26Okay.
00:25:27Mm-hmm.
00:25:37Ava, time is almost up.
00:25:52I did it.
00:26:11I saved my job
00:26:12and I made a new sales record.
00:26:16There's no reason to thank me.
00:26:18I'm here to help.
00:26:19Whenever you need it.
00:26:20I hate to do this,
00:26:24but Ava Jackson,
00:26:27you're fired.
00:26:29What?
00:26:31No.
00:26:32I met your target and then some.
00:26:34Oh.
00:26:35That last sale?
00:26:37The one that put you over the top?
00:26:38That was actually mine.
00:26:40You're trying to steal my commission?
00:26:42Well, that won't work
00:26:43because everyone in this store
00:26:45saw me make that sale.
00:26:46Okay.
00:26:50I get it.
00:26:53You threaten them into silence.
00:26:54Well, that won't work either
00:26:55because the security cameras
00:26:57caught everything.
00:26:59Security cameras?
00:27:01What a horrible timing.
00:27:11Unfortunately,
00:27:12the security cameras
00:27:12are down for maintenance today.
00:27:15But fortunately,
00:27:16everyone here
00:27:17saw you destroy
00:27:18thousands of dollars
00:27:20worth of merchandise.
00:27:21You all saw Ava,
00:27:22didn't you?
00:27:24Yeah,
00:27:24we all saw it.
00:27:26So someone should call security.
00:27:28Better yet,
00:27:29call the police.
00:27:30I'm sorry, sir,
00:27:39but we're closed for the day.
00:27:41I heard that this store
00:27:41got trashed.
00:27:42I'm going to have to ask you to leave
00:27:44or I'm going to have to call the police.
00:27:45The police work for me.
00:27:47Are you?
00:27:49Luca Mancini?
00:27:56Is it me?
00:27:56I'm going to have to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you
00:28:26Please stop. I admit it. I was wrong.
00:28:46Who really damaged the merchandise in this story?
00:28:48The items they you destroyed are worth over several millions of dollars.
00:28:52That's five years in prison.
00:28:56Luca, what happened?
00:28:58There's nothing we're talking about. We need to go.
00:29:00And by the way, you're fired.
00:29:02Let's go. Mom could just do it.
00:29:10How dare that woman mess with my family.
00:29:14I will make sure, personally, that she suffers for it.
00:29:18You don't have to worry about that anymore.
00:29:20It's all taken care of, thanks to Luca.
00:29:23This door looked like a tornado hit it.
00:29:25A man who will be serving time in a jail cell.
00:29:27Justice is served.
00:29:29That's my boy.
00:29:31Sweetheart, I would like you to concentrate full-time on your pregnancy right now.
00:29:37All of this work drama can wait until after my grandchild is born safely.
00:29:43My grandchild is born safely.
00:29:45Yes, mommy.
00:29:47I transferred five million dollars into your personal account for prenatal care.
00:29:51I am worried about the baby's well-being.
00:29:55Luca, I'd like you to take her to the doctor tomorrow for an exam.
00:29:59No, that's really not necessary.
00:30:03I have those meetings in Europe, so possibly I could have some more substituting for me.
00:30:09Yeah, and I'm perfectly capable of going by myself.
00:30:13I don't want to trouble Luca with something so routine.
00:30:19It's decided.
00:30:21Cancel whatever meetings you have.
00:30:23I want you to take her.
00:30:25I will not stand for any more incidents.
00:30:28Yes, mother.
00:30:29Ava Jackson, we're ready for you now.
00:30:45Dad should come too.
00:30:47We encourage partner participation.
00:30:49Oh no, he's not.
00:30:52Would you prefer that I explain that I'm your dead husband's brother?
00:30:58That might be a bit awkward.
00:31:01Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, please come in when you're ready.
00:31:03Coming.
00:31:11If you could lift your top up slightly and lower your skirt band just a bit, we'll get started.
00:31:24First prenatal checkup together, I'm guessing.
00:31:27The baby looks perfectly healthy.
00:31:35Current length is about three inches with a strong heart rate.
00:31:40Is the baby moving?
00:31:41Yes, indeed.
00:31:43Look there.
00:31:45The little one's making faces.
00:31:48Quite the expressive child already.
00:31:52Okay.
00:31:53Dad?
00:31:54Don't you want to come take a look?
00:31:55The baby's at 18 weeks now developing beautifully.
00:32:09For home care, I recommend plenty of rest, nutrient rich foods, and tactile bonding when possible.
00:32:19Tactile bonding?
00:32:20Yes.
00:32:21It's quite beneficial for fetal development.
00:32:24Come over here and place your hands on her belly.
00:32:27Doctor, is that really appropriate?
00:32:30What's inappropriate about it?
00:32:32This is what husbands do.
00:32:38Okay.
00:32:39I'm sorry, did I hurt you?
00:32:53No, no.
00:32:54It just feels strange.
00:32:56Like this.
00:32:58Top to bottom.
00:32:59Left to right.
00:33:00Gentle strokes.
00:33:01Got it?
00:33:02Got it.
00:33:03Do this once daily.
00:33:04Five to ten minutes each.
00:33:07You can sit up now.
00:33:08Do this once daily.
00:33:09Five to ten minutes each.
00:33:10You can sit up now.
00:33:11Uh...
00:33:12So, everything good with the baby?
00:33:14Any special instructions I should know about?
00:33:16Nothing.
00:33:17Nothing.
00:33:18No.
00:33:19The doctor did say that the baby is developing beautifully and there's nothing to worry about.
00:33:24So, everything good with the baby? Any special instructions I should know about?
00:33:30Nothing.
00:33:31Nothing, no.
00:33:32The doctor did say that the baby is developing beautifully, and there's nothing to worry about.
00:33:38Good news, then.
00:33:41Before I forget, the Rossi family's daughter is having her birthday celebration next weekend, and we should all attend.
00:33:50The Rossi family?
00:33:52Technically, there are business rivals, but social niceties must be maintained.
00:33:59And she has had an embarrassing crush on Luca since they were little children.
00:34:04Mom, please.
00:34:06Miss Sofia Rossi has arrived unannounced.
00:34:10She shows up without calling? How gauche.
00:34:14Should we send Ava upstairs?
00:34:16No, no, it's fine. I'm here. We can just...
00:34:18Good evening, Mrs. Mancini. Luca! I came to personally deliver my birthday invitation.
00:34:26Okay.
00:34:31Luca, who is this woman?
00:34:33Luca, who is this woman?
00:34:35Hey, hey, hey. Rossi's family lack of manners never disappoints me.
00:34:39Luca Mancini.
00:34:40Luca Mancini, how dare you speak to me like that?
00:34:42Ms. Rossi, right?
00:34:44I've heard so much about your family.
00:34:48I'm Ava, Marco's wife. Marco was Luca's brother.
00:34:52Oh, okay. I thought you were carrying Luca's baby.
00:34:59That's good, because I'm nice.
00:35:01I came all this way to bring you that, and this is how you welcome me?
00:35:05Don't disappoint me at the party, darling.
00:35:08Or something sharp.
00:35:10Yes.
00:35:13See if there's any connection between that pregnant woman and Luca.
00:35:25I'm not buying this whole sister-in-law act for one second.
00:35:28You got it.
00:35:30You look so handsome.
00:35:39Well, well, well.
00:35:40It looks like my stubborn son has good taste after all.
00:35:44Luca did an excellent job selecting this gown.
00:35:47It is perfect for you.
00:35:49Luca picked this?
00:35:54I've never been anywhere this fancy before.
00:35:57I might embarrass you guys.
00:35:59Oh, don't even worry about it.
00:36:02You are my pride and joy.
00:36:04Besides, Luca will be with us the whole time,
00:36:07and he'll make sure everything runs smoothly.
00:36:13Luca?
00:36:14What about her shoes?
00:36:15How could you forget something so basic?
00:36:29Okay.
00:36:32Okay.
00:36:33Okay.
00:36:46Right there.
00:36:51No problem.
00:36:52I just don't want you to fall.
00:37:08Who's that with Mr. Mancini?
00:37:10She's clearly pregnant.
00:37:12Do you think that's Mr. Mancini's baby?
00:37:13I had no idea he was even married.
00:37:15Must be his mistress.
00:37:16Oh, shameless.
00:37:17Everyone, I would like to introduce Ava Mancini.
00:37:23My eldest son, Marco's wife.
00:37:25Marco's wife?
00:37:26She's stunning.
00:37:30This is my birthday party.
00:37:32I'm supposed to be the center of attention,
00:37:34not some pregnant woman.
00:37:38Well, maybe we shouldn't cross a scene here.
00:37:41It's fine.
00:37:42She's always like this.
00:37:45We didn't mean to steal your spotlight.
00:37:48An apology simply isn't enough.
00:37:51Since you're Luca's sister-in-law,
00:37:53why don't you entertain us all
00:37:54with a performance of some kind?
00:37:57Look, she used to deliver food for a living.
00:38:00Waitress, retail clerk, cleaning lady?
00:38:02What could someone with her background
00:38:04possibly perform for this grab?
00:38:17Ava, how does this piece go again?
00:38:20I'm completely lost here.
00:38:21I've forgotten everything that you've told me.
00:38:24There's no way she could actually play.
00:38:26She's just a nobody from nowhere.
00:38:29He has to be setting her up.
00:38:30Even Miss Mancini is smiling,
00:38:33just waiting for her to crash and burn.
00:38:34I was just playing for the baby.
00:38:35I think he recognized the music you were playing for us earlier.
00:38:39Well, maybe you should teach me sometime properly.
00:38:40I'd like to play for you both.
00:38:41Um, because of the music you were playing for us earlier.
00:38:42Well, maybe you should teach me sometime properly.
00:38:46I'd like to play for you both.
00:38:47Um, because Mom did tell me to look after you.
00:38:48So, it's the least that I can do.
00:38:49I'd like to play for you both.
00:38:50Um, because Mom did tell me to look after you.
00:38:52So it's the least that I can do.
00:38:53Okay.
00:38:54I was just playing for the baby.
00:38:57I think he recognized the music you were playing for us earlier.
00:39:02Well, maybe you should teach me sometime properly.
00:39:06I'd like to play for you both.
00:39:11Because Mom did tell me to look after you, so it's the least that I can do.
00:39:18Okay.
00:39:24I'm going to go one chair and there.
00:39:54They're definitely more than in-laws.
00:40:06Look at the way they play together.
00:40:09If I can't have him, I'll destroy them both.
00:40:18Yeah, I always enjoy these type of events.
00:40:20Me too.
00:40:21That's how it's good.
00:40:22From Mr. Russell.
00:40:23Your company is here.
00:40:30Sir, that drink is almost certainly drugged.
00:40:33Obviously.
00:40:34Is the Rossi family making a move against us?
00:40:36These tensions have been simmering for years.
00:40:39Should we respond preemptively?
00:40:45Do nothing.
00:40:46You just need to focus on protecting Ava.
00:40:49We'll see what they have planned.
00:40:53Darling, you look tired.
00:41:00I don't think all this excitement is good for your condition.
00:41:03Why don't you try to find Luca and let's get you home.
00:41:08Sophia's bedroom.
00:41:29Sophia's bedroom.
00:41:31Why is Luca's phone in there?
00:41:35And why am I jealous?
00:41:40I've wanted Luca for years.
00:41:55And then you waltz in and get his attention in weeks?
00:42:01You won't look so innocent when everyone sees you in bed next to your dead husband's brother.
00:42:07This isn't exactly how you wanted it.
00:42:09Not at all.
00:42:10This isn't convincing.
00:42:12Unbutton their clothes.
00:42:12Sal, position them closer together.
00:42:22Make it look more intimate.
00:42:29Perfect.
00:42:30Let's go.
00:42:30Our masterpiece is complete.
00:42:32Now we just have to bring in an audience.
00:42:34I expected much more than just this juvenile prank from my business partner.
00:42:59Ava, wake up.
00:43:02Ava.
00:43:04Ava.
00:43:05Ava.
00:43:13Olga.
00:43:16Oh my god.
00:43:19What happened to us?
00:43:25This is bad.
00:43:26Bad.
00:43:26Oh, if anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:43:43Luca, wake up!
00:43:45People are coming.
00:43:57You're acting like we had some tort affair.
00:43:59We didn't do anything wrong, so why are you worrying?
00:44:02I'm your late brother's widow, and I'm carrying his child.
00:44:05If anyone sees us like this, the Mancini family name won't be destroyed.
00:44:09Okay.
00:44:10Oh, so, Mancini name is what you're concerned about, is that it?
00:44:16Hey, hey, hey, you haven't answered me.
00:44:23Thank you all so much for coming today to celebrate me.
00:44:27But I do have some rather important information to share with you all.
00:44:32I have just discovered Luca Mancini in a rather compromising position
00:44:38with his brother's pregnant widow.
00:44:42In my bedroom.
00:44:51Can you let go?
00:44:56They're coming. Come here.
00:45:01Here, I got the sweatshop.
00:45:02Wait, stop!
00:45:03Watch, they're right there!
00:45:04If we walk through that door, we'll walk right into their trap.
00:45:07Okay, then what's your brilliant idea?
00:45:09Yes, ma'am?
00:45:10Um, we...
00:45:12Let's go through the window.
00:45:13We can climb down.
00:45:14Whoa, whoa, whoa, no.
00:45:15I...
00:45:16No, no, I'm...
00:45:17I'm afraid of heights.
00:45:18You're what?
00:45:20I'm sorry.
00:45:21I just didn't realize the great Luca Mancini had fears like the rest of us.
00:45:25Yeah, you know, that's one of my fears, and I don't advertise it, so...
00:45:29Deal with it.
00:45:30What the hell, Steve?
00:45:32What the hell, Steve?
00:45:34What are these cheaters you promised to expose?
00:45:37Shh!
00:45:38Keep it down, you idiot.
00:45:39You don't want to wake them.
00:45:40I mean, we don't want to alert them to give them a chance to escape.
00:45:44They're coming.
00:45:45Let's go.
00:45:46Let's go.
00:45:48Okay.
00:45:49Hurry, hurry.
00:45:50No, no, no.
00:45:51Don't run.
00:45:52We have to catch them in the act first.
00:45:53Are you insane?
00:45:54Your house is on fire.
00:45:55Who cares about the gossip?
00:45:56Let's get out of here.
00:45:57No, no, no, no.
00:45:58I'll help everyone leave afterwards.
00:45:59But first, let's get a look at them.
00:46:00Come on.
00:46:01Come on.
00:46:02Wait!
00:46:03Okay.

00:46:05Let's go.

00:46:16No, no, no!

00:48:50Ava, you're so close, is this a dream?
00:49:00Luca, I'm your brother's wife.
00:49:03So this isn't a dream, but Ava, I've had feelings for you for so long.
00:49:11Well, I've tried to keep them a secret, but I can't keep them any longer.
00:49:17And now you know my two secrets, and by family code, I have to silence the person who discovers
00:49:26my weaknesses.
00:49:28Luca, let me go.
00:49:29No, no, no, but I can't silence you because, Ava, I have fallen in love with you.
00:49:35Oh, God, that's not funny.
00:49:36Look, I've never been more serious.
00:49:42Look, Ava, every time I come around you, I feel myself slipping.
00:49:49And my feelings have crossed that line months ago.
00:49:54Stop, stop, just stop.
00:49:57I'll forget this ever happened.
00:49:58No, Ava, I want to take care of you, and the baby, for the rest of my life.
00:50:05Luca, what's going on?
00:50:22Why isn't Ava home?
00:50:26What's going on here?
00:50:27Mom, I think...
00:50:29Nothing.
00:50:30My clothes were dirty, so Luca prepared for me a shower and clean clothes.
00:50:35Oh, thank goodness.
00:50:38The last thing we need is for you to catch pneumonia.
00:50:40Yeah, I know.
00:50:42Ava, I think that we should probably...
00:50:45Luca, it's almost Marco's birthday.
00:50:50Let's visit his grave.
00:50:51He's your brother and my husband, and we don't want to betray his memory.
00:51:00Oh, you poor thing.
00:51:01You must be utterly exhausted.
00:51:03Let's get you home.
00:51:05These Rossis are nothing but trouble.
00:51:07We need to accelerate our plans against them.
00:51:10Changing hearts, changing hearts, changing hearts, changing hearts, changing hearts.
00:51:20Marco, I miss you.
00:51:28I feel so lost without you.
00:51:30Would you hate me if you knew I had feelings for your brother?
00:51:43Ava, are you in there?
00:51:52Ava, are you there?
00:51:53I meant everything that I said today.
00:51:59And I want to help you get through this, and I want to protect you.
00:52:03Marco and Mom, they would both understand.
00:52:08Ava, I love you.
00:52:09Ava, I love you.
00:52:11I understand how difficult this is.
00:52:28Your loyalty for Marco, and your concern for my mother, that is the compassion that...
00:52:34That's the reason I fell in love with you.
00:52:37There's $30 million on this credit card, and the pin number is your birthday.
00:52:44I've been through epsom flows, and this goodbye felt like the end.
00:52:50Can't deny, I can't pretend, that this fire burns again.
00:52:57Illuminating rain.
00:53:00I feel alive, one more time our worlds collide.
00:53:05Watch them circling in the sky.
00:53:08We are magnetic sides.
00:53:12I'm falling out of the way.
00:53:13Wait for me.
00:53:14No one loves me like you do.
00:53:17Thought that you and I were through.
00:53:21The baby's development is right on track.
00:53:30Perfect, actually.
00:53:31Has your husband been doing those tactile bonding exercises I showed you?
00:53:37Doctor, uh, actually he's not exactly right.
00:53:41Oh, no need to be embarrassed.
00:53:44The way that man looks at you is something special.
00:53:46Now face each other.
00:53:53Helena, take her hands.
00:53:56Deep inhale.
00:53:58And lean into each other.
00:54:00Using each other's weight to support you.
00:54:04Come up.
00:54:05Come up.
00:54:10On the exhale, do a gentle squat.
00:54:13And then share and embrace.
00:54:22You have anything?
00:54:29Who exactly are you welcoming home, dear daughter-in-law?
00:54:33I was just talking nonsense.
00:54:36Miss, flowers from Mr. Mancini.

00:58:55just the beginning we've been thinking too small
00:59:09I have good reason to believe that we have a common enemy I think we should work together
00:59:13um Miss Mancini has been sleeping well sir she got the prenatal vitamins you sent her and they
00:59:24effectively reduced her morning sickness and this morning she ate half a slice of
00:59:30french toast a half portion of scrambled eggs two cherry tomatoes and a glass of milk and
00:59:35after some gentle persuasion from your mother she also had a piece of steak for the iron content
00:59:40what's good to hear that she's eating healthy and then she finally attended the prenatal concert
00:59:46we arranged and afterwards she spoke with one of the pianists about the compositions is a man or woman
00:59:52sir per your instructions they were all talented women no exceptions and she actually mentioned you

01:01:58Derek, where's Luca?
01:02:00where's Luca?
01:02:01don't worryarnos Luca
01:02:04worry about yourself
01:02:08Yeah, with her as our bargaining chip, we can demand a hundred million dollars from the Manchins.
01:02:32Easy.
01:02:33Mom, Mom, why are you doing this?
01:02:36Poor family. Why have you always treated me so terribly?
01:02:43Family? You are so pathetic. You just don't get it, do you?
01:02:50You're just some brat that Mom found on the street that she brought home to be our living servant.
01:02:56What are you talking about?
01:02:57You're an orphan!
01:02:59Not even your birth mother wanted you.
01:03:03Yeah, we brought you in.
01:03:04We fed you, we clothed you, and in return, your life belongs to us.
01:03:13Oh, and, uh, by the way, since we're being honest with each other right now, my whole leg injury, it's kind of my fault.
01:03:20But it was a great excuse to get you to basically give up your life and be our slave in all these years.
01:03:27You know what, even though you're nothing but a bunch of orphan trash, you're actually very beautiful.
01:03:41So since we're giving up this whole brother-sister roleplay thing, I don't want to do something that I've wanted to do for a very, very long time.
01:03:57Now let's just keep that pretty little mouth of yours quiet, shall we?
01:04:08You fucking bitch.
01:04:14Oh, God, you're alive.
01:04:37My plane blew up.
01:04:49Anybody gets kidnapped, this isn't a coincidence.
01:04:51Who are you looking for?
01:04:53Answer me!
01:04:57Hey, make them stop.
01:04:59He's your brother.
01:05:02You'll kill him.
01:05:03You just told me I'm an orphan, so he's not really my little brother.
01:05:06You better tell me who your accomplices are, or he stops breathing.
01:05:10You two should be ashamed of yourselves.
01:05:13Yeah, I see the way that you look at each other.
01:05:15He's your dead husband's brother.
01:05:18You're betraying Marco and his mother.
01:05:23Are you all right?
01:05:24Hey, hey, hey, you okay?
01:05:25Yeah, yeah.
01:05:26Your mom has been so kind to me, and I dragged her into this mess.
01:05:32It's all my fault.
01:05:34Your mother-in-law took you in.
01:05:37She treated you like a daughter.
01:05:38She gave you everything that you could ever want, and this is how you repay her?
01:05:42By falling for her younger son?
01:05:45Have you already forgotten Marco?
01:05:47It is great.
01:05:48What is wrong with you?
01:05:53I want her as my daughter-in-law.
01:05:56First, my eldest son's wife, and now my youngest.
01:06:02Objective then, and you'll lose your tongue.
01:06:05You couldn't have Luca, so you decided to try and kill him?
01:06:22Good thing he changed his flight plan at the last minute, hmm?
01:06:27Cross the Mancini's, and you cease to exist.
01:06:31Just release me.
01:06:33My father will burn your empire to the ground.
01:06:38Don't you wonder why my son was gone all that time?
01:06:44Your family's power...
01:06:47is already gone.
01:06:49You two have risked everything to be together.
01:07:05I can see that Luca's devotion is absolute.
01:07:12You have endured far too much pain.
01:07:17It's time to let him take care of you.
01:07:19But, Marco, I made a promise.
01:07:23And Marco would want your happiness above all else.
01:07:31He will rest easier,
01:07:33knowing that we are protecting you and your child.
01:07:38From this moment forward,
01:07:44I swear to you, nobody will ever hurt you like me.
01:07:51Luca, you're bleeding.
01:07:56You gotta keep this clean.
01:07:58Yeah.
01:07:59Infections can get nasty.
01:08:00So you're saying that you care about me, then?
01:08:07Shut up.
01:08:09Of course I care.
01:08:14All right.
01:08:16Wait.
01:08:16Wait.
01:08:26Come on.
01:08:30I think he likes you.
01:08:44Yeah?
01:08:49Ava,
01:08:49I will take care of you.
01:08:52And the baby.
01:08:54Just let my brother would have.
01:08:56I brought some fruit for you and the...
01:08:58Luca!
01:09:00She's pregnant.
01:09:04Be gentle with her.
01:09:08I think maybe you should get some less.
01:09:11Okay.
01:09:15Oh, wait.
01:09:19What is it?
01:09:20I think I'm in labor.
01:09:22Oh, my God.
01:09:23Come here.
01:09:23Come here.
01:09:25Take easy sleep.
01:09:26Oh.
01:09:29Oh, my God.
01:09:30What is taking so long?
01:09:32Is something wrong?
01:09:34She's gone into labor early.
01:09:35Have you two been intimate recently?
01:09:38Well, we didn't exactly...
01:09:40I mean, not completely.
01:09:43I warned you to be careful with her.
01:09:45I'm sorry.
01:09:46What can we do now?
01:09:47The medication isn't working as we'd hoped.
01:09:50There's another approach we could try.
01:09:53Yes.
01:09:54Yes.
01:09:54We'll do anything.
01:09:54Money's no object.
01:09:55Just help her.
01:09:57Some intimate touches can help her relax and feel better.
01:10:02Right here.
01:10:07Right here.
01:10:08Yes.
01:10:13Mom.
01:10:13I can't.
01:10:15Just whip it out.
01:10:16Don't do it.
01:10:18Hurry it up.
01:10:19Don't do it.
01:10:32I can't.
01:10:33He has a coldple obfury.
01:10:34We can't get it.
01:10:35I can't.
01:10:35I can't.
01:10:36Go.
01:10:36I can't.
01:10:37Woo.
01:10:37Yeah.
01:10:38I hope things are going smoothly in there.
01:10:51They've never been together before.
01:10:55Never been together?
01:10:57Then how could she be?
01:10:59The child is my late son's.
01:11:02Luca's brother.
01:11:06You okay?
01:11:08Doctor, please.
01:11:09Doctor, please.
01:11:16One, two, three, push.
01:11:19One, two, three, push.
01:11:22One, two, three, push.
01:11:24Push, push, push.
01:11:25Push, push.
01:11:30What's your baby?
01:11:41Hey.
01:11:43Hi.
01:11:44How you feeling?
01:11:45Good.
01:11:46Want something to eat?
01:11:47I'm okay.
01:11:49Okay.
01:11:54I thought this hospital was the best that money can buy.
01:11:57I guess I was misinformed.
01:11:59Look, they're doing the best they can.
01:12:03Let's not terrorize the staff.
01:12:07Look, I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:11You would tear me apart.
01:12:17Luca, remember to control yourself, son.
01:12:25Let her recover first.
01:12:37And have you decided what to name this little prince?
01:12:41Marco.
01:12:43Marco.
01:12:45Marco.
01:12:47I want to name him Marco.
01:13:09Look, little one.
01:13:11It's your daddy.
01:13:15Your real daddy.
01:13:21It's remarkable how much he looks like.
01:13:23Marco.
01:13:25I thought you had all the answers.
01:13:27And that you handle everything.
01:13:29And that you handle everything.
01:13:31And I promise.
01:13:33To protect mom.
01:13:35The business.
01:13:37And your family.
01:13:41Our family.
01:13:43You know Marco used to say.
01:13:47That.
01:13:49If you wanted to think about somebody.
01:13:51You would watch the dandelion.
01:13:53And if the seeds blew out easily.
01:13:55Then they were thinking of you too.
01:13:57I hear you on the radio.
01:14:03On the radio.
01:14:05...
01:14:23Miss.
01:14:25Mancini's wedding gifts, the finest villas, the Mancini family jewelry, and finally, 30%
01:14:33ownership of Mancini group holdings, effective immediately.
01:14:42This ring has been in the Mancini family for seven generations, passed from mother to daughter-in-law.
01:14:55Thank you, woman.
01:15:03A perfect fit.
01:15:16Now, I need the two of you to focus on your top priority.
01:15:23Um, top priority?
01:15:24Giving me a granddaughter to play with little Marco Jr.
01:15:30Mom, we're at a church.
01:15:33And there are witnesses.
