Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Master 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 Luca for years, and then you waltz in and get his attention in weeks.
00:00:31I 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 hate 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, dear.
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, I didn't mean to reach you.
00:01:57Luca, look at her.
00:01:59She's hardly a threat.
00:02:00For the flowers, and for the interruption, my apologies.
00:02:14Mr. Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson, and she was carrying his child.
00:02:29Get the car.
00:02:31I'll never bring my daughter-in-law home where she belongs.
00:02:36Don't worry, little one.
00:02:45We'll get through this together.
00:02:48Somehow.
00:02:52Well, looky here.
00:02:54The family jinx is finally six feet under.
00:02:57Derek, have 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.
00:03:24Emily, we'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.
00:03:37This is your fault.
00:03:40I dropped out of college for this family.
00:03:43I took five jobs.
00:03:44What more could you possibly want?
00:03:45There'll never be enough, Ava.
00:03:47You'll owe us to the day you die.
00:03:50Please, sweetheart.
00:03:53Think of your brother.
00:03:58I'm gonna stomp out that little bastard right now.
00:04:01Send him straight to hell.
00:04:03So he can say hello to his deadbeat dad.
00:04:08Hex!
00:04:23What the hell is going on here?
00:04:24Who the hell are you people?
00:04:25Ava, right?
00:04:26You were here this morning.
00:04:27Enough, Luca.
00:04:28She's hardly up there.
00:04:29Ma'am?
00:04:30I'm Helena Mancini.
00:04:31Marco's mother.
00:04:32That means I'm your baby's grandmother.
00:04:33The most powerful mafia family in the country.
00:04:34Oh.
00:04:35Marco was my oldest.
00:04:36He was my golden boy.
00:04:37I am so sorry that he concealed his identity from you.
00:04:43You have endured far too much suffering because of it.
00:04:50Plain make-believe Mancini?
00:04:51Yeah.
00:04:52Seriously.
00:04:53Like, is anybody here actually buying this?
00:04:54Question my identity again?
00:04:55And my men will make sure your other leg looks like your first one.
00:04:58Ah!
00:04:59No!
00:05:00No!
00:05:01No!
00:05:02No!
00:05:03No!
00:05:04No!
00:05:05No!
00:05:06No!
00:05:07No!
00:05:08No!
00:05:09No!
00:05:10No!
00:05:11No!
00:05:12No!
00:05:13No!
00:05:14No!
00:05:15No!
00:05:16No!
00:05:17No!
00:05:18No!
00:05:19No!
00:05:20No!
00:05:21No!
00:05:22No!
00:05:23No!
00:05:24No!
00:05:25Noone!
00:05:26Permanently!
00:05:27O też!
00:05:28What are you doing?
00:05:29Derek, run!
00:05:30Uh, maybe we should just go home.
00:05:31I mean, one moment, dear.
00:05:33If anyone who raises a hand to my daughter-in-law deserves to have their fingers snapped...
00:05:43one...by...one...by...one.
00:05:47Come along, dear.
00:05:49Let's get you home.
00:05:51To your real home.
00:05:54Welcome home, Signora Eva Minichini.
00:06:18This is where Marco lives.
00:06:22And now, it's your home too.
00:06:30Allow me to introduce you to your personal staff, Mrs. Manchini.
00:06:34Your nutritionist, nanny, maternity nurse, each the finest specialist money can acquire.
00:06:39We 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.
00:06:53Thank you, but I can't accept this.
00:06:59Thank you, but I can't accept this.
00:07:03I married Marco for love, not for his fortune.
00:07:07Practical and principled, my Marco truly had an eye for quality.
00:07:13There is one more member of the family that you need to properly meet.
00:07:18That would be Luca, Marco's younger brother.
00:07:21The brooding iceberg that you encountered this morning.
00:07:23Well, well, well.
00:07:25There's a flower girl in the cemetery.
00:07:29Luca, come meet Eva, your brother's wife.
00:07:33Please, show her proper...
00:07:37Respect!
00:07:39You walk back into a Mancini household?
00:07:43You're either incredibly stupid or incredibly brave.
00:07:47Luca, open this door immediately!
00:07:51Everyone around back, now!
00:07:56Who are you, really?
00:08:00I'll be watching your every move, your every breath.
00:08:06So tell me, who are you, really?
00:08:11My brother's dead, and you appear suddenly?
00:08:14Was this your end game all along?
00:08:16Our fortune?
00:08:18I didn't know Marco's a Mancini.
00:08:20And now?
00:08:21I don't need this.
00:08:22I can walk right out those doors.
00:08:24You can't walk anywhere!
00:08:25She's not going anywhere!
00:08:30And get your hands off of her!
00:08:33She is carrying Marco's child.
00:08:35Oh, is she?
00:08:37How do we even know it is Marco's child?
00:08:39Convenient timing, wouldn't you say?
00:08:44Question me on you, Marco.
00:08:45Don't you dare question my child.
00:08:48That's my girl.
00:08:49Backbone of steel.
00:08:51Are you hurt?
00:08:53Luca, you are too rude.
00:08:56Ava is a good girl.
00:08:58You are falsely accusing her.
00:09:00Come on, Sweeney.
00:09:01Mom's going to take you and get some clothes.
00:09:03Pay no attention to this fool.
00:09:09You may be fooling them,
00:09:11but I will find out about you and I will expose you.
00:09:18Or.
00:09:19You may be fooling them
00:09:20to be with you and I will never do anything.
00:09:21I do.
00:09:22I've got to get anyone
00:09:22to buy it.
00:09:24I'm sorry.
00:09:25Now, I'm sorry.
00:09:26I'm sorry.
00:09:27I'm sorry.
00:09:28I'm sorry, but I'll help you.
00:09:29I'm sorry.
00:09:30I'm sorry.
00:09:32Take your pick.
00:09:33I have plenty to wear.
00:09:35And these are much too expensive.
00:09:37Oh, not to worry.
00:09:38It's all on Lucas card.
00:09:41Treat my dear daughter-in-law well.
00:10:02Oh, isn't she gorgeous?
00:10:23She's adequate.
00:10:28Always the tough guy act with you.
00:10:33Your eyes tell a different story, my son.
00:10:36Oh, yes.
00:10:37This is just perfect.
00:10:39We will take one of everything in her size.
00:10:44Mom?
00:10:46Mom?
00:10:47That's too generous.
00:10:49Nonsense.
00:10:50We're family now.
00:10:53I am putting Luca's contact info into your phone.
00:10:57Reach out to him.
00:10:58Whatever you need.
00:11:00And don't worry.
00:11:02He's actually quite a softie.
00:11:05Now, shall we continue shopping?
00:11:07Yes.
00:11:12Sir?
00:11:13Yes?
00:11:14My brother has spent approximately $15 million on Miss Jackson in the last week alone.
00:11:19God.
00:11:20In mere days, she has swung the daughter family out of millions of dollars.
00:11:25She's clearly not an amateur.
00:11:27She's also been spending a substantial amount since marrying your brother to pay off her brother's debts.
00:11:33I want everything on her.
00:11:36Everything!
00:11:37If she is playing us for fools, then I will personally ensure that she regrets ever hearing the name Mancino.
00:11:44I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:11:53I 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.
00:12:03Limited edition is perfect for you.
00:12:10Marco?
00:12:11You just focus on getting better, okay?
00:12:14Don't worry about the bills.
00:12:16I've got it covered.
00:12:17Your brother married Miss Jackson under false pretenses.
00:12:28She worked several jobs to make that money.
00:12:31And when your brother got sick, she worked to pay off his medical bills.
00:12:35And then day and night for his funeral.
00:12:38Did I get her all wrong?
00:12:47Hello?
00:12:52Mother is unwell.
00:12:53You need to return home immediately.
00:12:58What's wrong with mom?
00:12:59Is she hurt?
00:13:04Mom?
00:13:06What's going on?
00:13:12Ava, please don't be angry.
00:13:15We just had to get you here.
00:13:22What are you doing?
00:13:23Since you won't help us financially, we had to find another solution.
00:13:27Victor Fang.
00:13:29That old loan shark's willing to give us $80,000 just to marry you.
00:13:38Are you insane?
00:13:40I'm pregnant.
00:13:41Your husband's dead, Ava.
00:13:44Why keep his baby?
00:13:45Think about your family.
00:13:46Mr. Fang is waiting.
00:13:48Don't make this harder than it needs to be.
00:13:52You are not selling me off to Victor Fang!
00:13:57If she dies, how will you provide for this child?
00:14:03She's calling someone!
00:14:04Hello?
00:14:14Ava's in danger! We need to move!
00:14:19Go, go, go!
00:14:20Go!
00:14:38Ah, dad!
00:14:39You think someone's coming to save you?
00:14:41Who dares manhandle my future bride?
00:14:49Mr. Fang, oh, it's such a pleasure.
00:14:51This is Ava, my sister, who we discussed.
00:14:55Ooh, two for the price of one, I see.
00:14:57Oh, it's just some dead guy's kit.
00:15:00If you want, I can take care of it right now.
00:15:02We can offer you a discount.
00:15:03I think $60,000 is nothing fair.
00:15:06Pennies for somebody of your wealth.
00:15:07Derek, you're sick.
00:15:09I'm your sister.
00:15:10This is your nephew.
00:15:11My son's future is more important to me
00:15:14than that stupid little bastard of yours.
00:15:16Hey, hey, no need to be so rough with such a beautiful lady.
00:15:21Now, dear, just take this right here
00:15:25and it'll make things easier for everybody.
00:15:28Oh, okay.
00:15:30A little feisty, I see.
00:15:34Maybe you just need a little personal attention.
00:15:37Get out of my way!
00:16:03I always knew Ava was trouble.
00:16:04Her husband's barely cold and she already has been out of here.
00:16:09Who the hell do you think you are?
00:16:10I'm Luca Mancini.
00:16:15Mancini, you idiot.
00:16:17You killed me.
00:16:19How did my sister get caught up with the likes of you?
00:16:21Ava is my brother's widow.
00:16:23And her baby is his only child.
00:16:26So it's true?
00:16:28Her baby is the heir to the Mancini family?
00:16:30Looks like your wife is pregnant, too.
00:16:34Yes, yes, yes, it's true.
00:16:35I swear, we didn't know.
00:16:37Please, please.
00:16:38You will be dealt with tenfold what you did to Ava.
00:16:46Get a doctor!
00:16:47Get a doctor!
00:16:47Get a car and deal with him.
00:16:49Get a car and deal with him.
00:17:19Mom, hey.
00:17:28How's Ava?
00:17:29How's the baby?
00:17:31The doctors are examining her now.
00:17:37Doctor, how is she?
00:17:38Mr. Mancini has a severe ankle fracture that it needs immediate surgery.
00:17:43The medication could cause a miscarriage.
00:17:46So we need to have consent before we can proceed.
00:17:49Do it. Whatever it takes.
00:17:51No!
00:17:54Doctor, is there any way to do the surgery without anesthesia?
00:17:58That's not medically advisable.
00:18:00The pain would be too excruciating.
00:18:05This baby is Marco's only child.
00:18:08His only heir.
00:18:09I can't miss losing it.
00:18:11I can handle the pain.
00:18:14Oh, my brave girl.
00:18:16God bless you.
00:18:18You know, I think somebody should be with her during the operation.
00:18:22The pain would be just too intense.
00:18:25I'll stay with her.
00:18:26How'd it go, doctor?
00:18:50It's a success.
00:18:53You're a real trooper if you don't mind me saying.
00:18:57I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:18:59Senora Ava, please.
00:19:20Let me help you.
00:19:21Okay, right this way, I'm right.
00:19:31I know your stay at the hospital could not have been easy for you.
00:19:35That's why I'm having 30% of Mancini Group shares put into your name.
00:19:41No.
00:19:42Mom, I cannot accept that.
00:19:46We're family.
00:19:48It's what you deserve.
00:19:49Actually, I've been thinking about doing something else.
00:19:54Hmm.
00:19:54I'd like to go back to work.
00:19:57Work?
00:19:58But, but, you're pregnant.
00:20:00Oh, honey, if you need money, I'll just transfer some into your account.
00:20:03No, no, it's not about money.
00:20:05Marco always said that we should make our own way.
00:20:11And I want our child to know his father and know what he valued.
00:20:18You are as stubborn as he was.
00:20:23Well, you're going to need protection.
00:20:24You'll accompany her.
00:20:30No, no, no, no, no.
00:20:31I can manage on my own.
00:20:36In the morning, 10 a.m., I'll be at the entrance.
00:20:48You know that I can talk to your manager for you.
00:20:50Make sure that they accommodate every need.
00:20:52No need.
00:20:53I don't want any special treatments.
00:20:55Hmm.
00:20:56But, thank you for the ride.
00:21:00No, Ava, you do not need to be afraid of me.
00:21:03I can help you.
00:21:05Whatever you need.
00:21:06Why is she even back?
00:21:20That pregnant belly ruins the store's aesthetic.
00:21:24These pregnant women know exactly what they're doing.
00:21:31Hiding behind maternity protections.
00:21:33We can't legally fire her.
00:21:36Could you reassign her to the warehouse?
00:21:38Maybe move some stock around?
00:21:39And if something happens to her or the baby, you want that liability?
00:21:44We can't fire her, but we certainly can make her life difficult enough that she decides to quit on her own.
00:21:51And that concludes our quarterly revenue projections.
00:22:04Sir, forgive my directness, but are we here because you're concerned about your sister-in-law?
00:22:23Should I have the car brought around for your next meeting?
00:22:32Can I cancel the meeting?
00:22:33I've been meaning to talk to you, given your, um, condition.
00:22:42I've been worried about potential liability issues.
00:22:44My pregnancy will not affect my performance.
00:22:48I do not intend to take advantage of company policy.
00:22:51Oh, you like to hear that.
00:22:54Then you won't mind proving your commitment.
00:22:57Sell one million dollars worth of merchandise by today, and I'll put all of my concerns to rest.
00:23:03I've seen your sales record.
00:23:05I know you can do it.
00:23:06I know you can do it.
00:23:33Sir, half an hour until closing, and Mrs. Mancini has already surpassed the store's average monthly sales in a single day.
00:23:54But she's still a great deal short of the manager's impossible target.
00:24:02She did make it clear that she doesn't want any special treatment, but I have been neglecting my own wardrobe.
00:24:09And the Rossi family event will require several new suits.
00:24:11Now that you mention it, sir, your formal collection is missing quite a few essential items.
00:24:17And I should do some personal shopping, shouldn't I?
00:24:20Sir, may I assist you?
00:24:26Sir, this limited edition silk tie would go perfect with your conflections.
00:24:31Sir, I'd be happy to take your measurements personally.
00:24:34Sir, as store manager, I would be honored to assist you with your needs myself.
00:24:40I'd actually like Ms. Jackson to assist me.
00:24:44I hear her taste in men's fashion is exceptional.
00:24:51Shall we begin?
00:24:52Right this way, sir.
00:24:53All right, I just need to take your measurements.
00:25:03Whoa, what are you doing?
00:25:05The measurements on?
00:25:07I just needed you to take the jacket off.
00:25:10Well, we don't have much time.
00:25:16I know.
00:25:17I know.
00:25:23Now, imagine me like this.
00:25:32Okay.
00:25:32Mm-hmm.
00:25:53Ava, time is almost up.
00:26:15I did it.
00:26:16I saved my job.
00:26:17And I made a new sales record.
00:26:22There's no reason to thank me.
00:26:23I'm here to help.
00:26:25Whenever you need it.
00:26:27I hate to do this, but...
00:26:30Ava Jackson.
00:26:32You're fired.
00:26:35What?
00:26:36No.
00:26:38I met your target and then some.
00:26:40Oh.
00:26:41That last sale?
00:26:42The one that put you over the top?
00:26:44That was actually mine.
00:26:45You're trying to steal my commission.
00:26:48Well, that won't work because everyone in this store saw me make that sale.
00:26:57I get it.
00:26:58You threatened them into silence.
00:27:00Well, that won't work either.
00:27:01Because the security cameras caught everything.
00:27:05Security cameras?
00:27:06Security cameras?
00:27:07What horrible timing.
00:27:16Unfortunately, the security cameras are down for maintenance today.
00:27:20But fortunately, everyone here saw you destroy thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
00:27:27You all saw Ava, didn't you?
00:27:29Yeah, we all saw it.
00:27:31So someone should call security.
00:27:34Better yet, call the police.
00:27:44I'm sorry, sir, but we're closed for the day.
00:27:46I heard that this store got trashed.
00:27:48I'm going to have to ask you to leave or I'm going to have to call the police.
00:27:51The police work for me.
00:27:53Are you?
00:27:54Luca Mancini?
00:27:55I'm sorry.
00:28:00I'm sorry.
00:28:31Please stop. I admit it. I was wrong.
00:28:52Who really damaged the merchandise in this story?
00:28:54The items that you destroyed are worth over several millions of dollars.
00:28:58That's five years in prison.
00:29:01Luca, what happened?
00:29:05There's nothing we're talking about. We need to go.
00:29:06And by the way, you're fired.
00:29:09Let's go. Mom, could just do it.
00:29:15Ocadero, questa stronza.
00:29:17How dare that woman mess with my family?
00:29:21I will make sure, personally, that she suffers for it.
00:29:25You don't have to worry about that anymore.
00:29:27It's all taken care of, thanks to Luca.
00:29:30This door looked like a tornado hit it.
00:29:32Man who will be serving time in a jail cell.
00:29:35Justice is served.
00:29:36That's my boy.
00:29:41Sweetheart, I would like you to concentrate full-time on your pregnancy right now.
00:29:45All of this work drama can wait until after my grandchild is born safely.
00:29:51Yes, Mommy.
00:29:52I transferred five million dollars into your personal account for prenatal care.
00:29:58I am worried about the baby's well-being.
00:30:01Luca, I'd like you to take her to the doctor tomorrow for an exam.
00:30:05No, that's really not necessary.
00:30:12I have those meetings in Europe, so possibly I could have some more substituting for me.
00:30:16Yeah, and I'm perfectly capable of going by myself.
00:30:20I don't want to travel, Luca, with something so routine.
00:30:26It's decided.
00:30:28Cancel whatever meetings you have.
00:30:30I want you to take her.
00:30:32I will not stand for any more incidents.
00:30:34Yes, Mother.
00:30:49Ava Jackson, we're ready for you now.
00:30:52Dad should come too.
00:30:54We encourage partner participation.
00:30:56Oh no, he's not.
00:30:58Would you prefer that I explain that I'm your dead husband's brother?
00:31:05That might be a bit awkward.
00:31:07Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, please come in when you're ready.
00:31:09Coming.
00:31:10If you could lift your top up slightly and lower your skirt band just a bit, we'll get started.
00:31:30First prenatal checkup together, I'm guessing.
00:31:32The baby looks perfectly healthy.
00:31:40Current length is about three inches with a strong heart rate.
00:31:46Is the baby moving?
00:31:47Yes, indeed.
00:31:48Yes, indeed.
00:31:49Look there.
00:31:50The little one's making faces.
00:31:53Quite the expressive child already.
00:31:57Dad, don't you want to come take a look?
00:32:04The baby's at 18 weeks, now developing beautifully.
00:32:15For home care, I recommend plenty of rest, nutrient-rich foods, and tactile bonding when possible.
00:32:25Tactile bonding?
00:32:26Yes.
00:32:27It's quite beneficial for fetal development.
00:32:30Come over here and place your hands on her belly.
00:32:33Doctor, is that really appropriate?
00:32:36What's inappropriate about it?
00:32:38This is what husbands do.
00:32:44Okay.
00:32:56I'm sorry, Dad.
00:32:57Did I hurt you?
00:32:58No, no.
00:32:59It just feels strange.
00:33:01Like this.
00:33:02Top to bottom.
00:33:03Left to right.
00:33:04Gentle strokes.
00:33:05Got it?
00:33:06Got it.
00:33:07Do this once daily.
00:33:08Five to ten minutes each.
00:33:09You can sit up now.
00:33:11I know.
00:33:12I know.
00:33:13I know.
00:33:14I know.
00:33:15I know.
00:33:16I know.
00:33:17I know.
00:33:18I know.
00:33:19I know.
00:33:20I know.
00:33:21I know.
00:33:22I know.
00:33:23I know.
00:33:24I know.
00:33:29Huh.
00:33:30So, everything good with the baby?
00:33:32Any special instructions I should know about?
00:33:35Nothing.
00:33:36Nothing.
00:33:37No.
00:33:38The doctor did say that the baby is developing beautifully, and there's nothing to worry about.
00:33:44Good news, then.
00:33:47Before I forget, the Rossi family's daughter is having her birthday celebration next weekend,
00:33:53and we should all attend.
00:33:55The Rossi family?
00:33:57Technically, they're our business rivals, but social niceties must be maintained.
00:34:04And she has had an embarrassing crush on Luca since they were little children.
00:34:10Mom, please.
00:34:11Miss Sofia Rossi has arrived unannounced.
00:34:16She shows up without calling?
00:34:18How gauche.
00:34:19Uh, should we send Ava upstairs?
00:34:21No, no, it's fine.
00:34:22I'm here.
00:34:23We can just...
00:34:27Good evening, Mrs. Mancini.
00:34:29Luca!
00:34:30I came to personally deliver my birthday invitation.
00:34:32Okay.
00:34:37Luca, who is this woman?
00:34:38Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:34:39Rossi's family lack of manners ever disappoints me.
00:34:44Luca Mancini, how dare you speak to me like that?
00:34:48Miss Rossi, right?
00:34:49I've heard so much about your family.
00:34:53I'm Ava, Marco's wife. Marco was Luca's brother.
00:34:57Oh, okay.
00:34:58I thought you were carrying Luca's baby.
00:34:59That's good, because I'm a nice man.
00:35:00I came all this way to bring you that, and this is how you welcome me?
00:35:01Don't disappoint me at the party, darling.
00:35:02Wear something sharp.
00:35:03Yes.
00:35:04Yes.
00:35:05See if there's any connection between that pregnant woman and Luca.
00:35:10I'm not buying this whole sister-in-law act for one second.
00:35:11You got it.
00:35:12You got it.
00:35:13You look so handsome.
00:35:15I'm not buying this whole sister-in-law act for one second.
00:35:32You got it.
00:35:34You got it.
00:35:39You look so handsome.
00:35:44Well, well, well.
00:35:46It looks like my stubborn son has good taste after all.
00:35:50Luca did an excellent job selecting this gown.
00:35:53It is perfect for you.
00:35:55Luca picked this?
00:35:59I've never been anywhere this fancy before.
00:36:02I might embarrass you guys.
00:36:06Don't even worry about it.
00:36:08You are my pride and joy.
00:36:10Besides, Luca will be with us the whole time.
00:36:13And he'll make sure everything runs smoothly.
00:36:18Luca?
00:36:20What about her shoes?
00:36:21How could you forget something so basic?
00:36:32I don't know.
00:36:33I don't know.
00:36:34I don't know.
00:36:35I don't know.
00:36:35I don't know.
00:36:37I don't know.
00:36:37Okay.
00:36:38Okay?
00:36:39Okay.
00:36:39All right.
00:36:51Right there.
00:36:56No problem.
00:36:58Just don't want you to fall.
00:37:14Who's that with Mr. Mancini?
00:37:16She's clearly pregnant.
00:37:18Do you think that's Mr. Mancini's baby?
00:37:20I had no idea he was even married.
00:37:22He must be his mistress.
00:37:23Oh, she was.
00:37:24Everyone, I would like to introduce Ava Mancini,
00:37:29my eldest son Marco's wife.
00:37:31Marco's wife?
00:37:33She's stunning.
00:37:36This is my birthday party.
00:37:39I'm supposed to be the center of attention,
00:37:40not some pregnant woman.
00:37:44Well, maybe we shouldn't cross a scene here.
00:37:47It's fine.
00:37:48She's almost like this.
00:37:50We didn't mean to steal your spotlight.
00:37:54An apology simply isn't enough.
00:37:57Since you're Luca's sister-in-law,
00:37:59why don't you entertain us all with a performance of some kind?
00:38:03Look, she used to deliver food for a living.
00:38:06Waitress, retail clerk, cleaning lady?
00:38:08What could someone with her background possibly perform for this crowd?
00:38:23Ava, how does this piece go again?
00:38:26I'm completely lost here.
00:38:28I've forgotten everything that you've told me.
00:38:29There's no way she could actually play.
00:38:32She's just a nobody from nowhere.
00:38:35He has to be setting her up.
00:38:36Even Miss Mancini is smiling,
00:38:39just waiting for her to crash and burn.
00:38:40I was just playing for the baby.
00:39:01I think he recognized the music you were playing for us earlier.
00:39:06Well, maybe you should teach me sometime, properly.
00:39:12I'd like to play for you both.
00:39:16Because Mom did tell me to look after you,
00:39:18so it's the least that I can do.
00:39:21One chair and there.
00:40:06They're definitely more than in-laws.
00:40:12Look at the way they play together.
00:40:14If I can't have him, I'll destroy them.
00:40:23Yeah, I always enjoy these type of events.
00:40:25Me too.
00:40:26That habit's good.
00:40:28From Miss Russell.
00:40:29The continents.
00:40:31Cheers.
00:40:35Sir.
00:40:36That drink is almost certainly drugged.
00:40:38Obviously.
00:40:39Is the Rossi family making a move against us?
00:40:42These tensions have been simmering for years.
00:40:44Should we respond preemptively?
00:40:50Do nothing.
00:40:51You just need to focus on protecting Ava.
00:40:55We'll see what they have planned.
00:40:56Darling, you look tired.
00:41:05I don't think all this excitement is good for your condition.
00:41:08Why don't you try to find Luca and let's get you home.
00:41:13Sophia's bedroom.
00:41:37Why is Luca's phone in there?
00:41:39And why am I jealous?
00:41:41And why am I jealous?
00:41:45I've wanted Luca for years.
00:42:00And then you waltz in and get his attention in weeks?
00:42:07You won't look so innocent when everyone sees you in bed next to your dead husband's brother.
00:42:12This isn't exactly how you wanted it.
00:42:15Not at all.
00:42:16This isn't convincing.
00:42:17Unbutton their clothes.
00:42:18Sal, position them closer together.
00:42:27Make it look more intimate.
00:42:34Perfect.
00:42:35Let's go.
00:42:36Our masterpiece is complete.
00:42:38Now we just have to bring in an audience.
00:42:39I expected much more than this is a juvenile prank from my business partner.
00:43:05Ava, wake up.
00:43:08Ava.
00:43:09Ava.
00:43:19Oh my God.
00:43:24What happened to us?
00:43:29This is bad.
00:43:32What happened to us?
00:43:35What happened to us?
00:43:37Oh, if anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:43:44Luca, wake up!
00:44:02People are coming.
00:44:03You're acting like we had some tour de faire.
00:44:05We didn't do anything wrong, so why are you worrying?
00:44:07I'm your late brother's widow, and I'm carrying his child.
00:44:10If anyone sees us like this, the Mancini family name won't be destroyed.
00:44:15Okay.
00:44:16Okay.
00:44:18Oh, so Mancini name is what you're concerned about, is that it?
00:44:22Hey, hey, hey, you haven't answered that.
00:44:28Thank you all so much for coming today to celebrate me.
00:44:33But I do have some rather important information to share with you all.
00:44:37I have just discovered Luca Mancini in a rather compromising position with his brother's pregnant widow.
00:44:47In my bedroom.
00:44:57Can you let go?
00:45:01They're coming.
00:45:06Here, I got this one.
00:45:07Wait, stop!
00:45:08Watch!
00:45:09They're right there!
00:45:10If we walk through that door, we'll walk right into their trap.
00:45:12Okay, then what's your brilliant idea?
00:45:14Yes, ma'am?
00:45:15Um, we...
00:45:17Let's go through the window.
00:45:18We can climb down.
00:45:19Whoa, whoa, whoa, no.
00:45:20I...
00:45:21No, no, I'm...
00:45:22I'm afraid of heights.
00:45:23You're what?
00:45:26Sorry, I just didn't realize the great Luca Mancini have fears like the rest of us.
00:45:30Yeah, you know, that's one of my fears, and I don't advertise it, so deal with it.
00:45:36What the hell's do?
00:45:39What are these cheaters you promised to expose?
00:45:42Shh!
00:45:43Keep it down, you idiot.
00:45:44You don't want to wake them.
00:45:45I mean, we don't want to alert them to give them a chance to escape.
00:45:49They're coming.
00:45:50Let's go.
00:45:51Let's go, let's go, let's go.
00:45:54Okay.
00:45:55Hurry, hurry.
00:45:59No, no, no!
00:46:00Don't run!
00:46:01We have to catch them in the act first!
00:46:02Are you insane?
00:46:03Your house is on fire!
00:46:04Who cares about the gossip?
00:46:06Let's get out of here.
00:46:07No, no, no, no!
00:46:08I'll help everyone leave afterwards, but first let's get a look at them!
00:46:11Come on!
00:46:21Oh, hi!
00:46:34What the hell do you think you're doing?!
00:46:36I am so sorry, it was an accident, please!
00:46:39You okay?
00:46:40Yeah.
00:46:41The staff prepared everything for you, and there's hot water in there.
00:46:46And what about you?
00:46:47We'll just be out here, taking guard for you.
00:46:48Now go on, it's warm.
00:46:49Thanks.
00:47:16Damn it!
00:47:33What is it?
00:47:34Uh, Miss Rossi is demanding to see you, sir.
00:47:37She's quite insistent.
00:47:39Okay, let her run.
00:47:40You set off the fire alarms and completely scared away my guests!
00:47:47You ruined my birthday celebration!
00:47:59Hey!
00:48:00You will take full responsibility for what you did.
00:48:03The drugging, the setup, all of it.
00:48:06And if you ever threaten Ava again, directly or indirectly,
00:48:11I will end the Rossi family from this city permanently.
00:48:15You're a monster.
00:48:16That's her in there, isn't it?
00:48:18Ava?
00:48:19Your dead brother's wife?
00:48:21How dare you?
00:48:22Take the word.
00:48:23Get your hands off of me!
00:48:25Do you know who I am?!
00:48:27It's me, Michael.
00:48:28Ava, you're so close.
00:48:44It's-
00:48:45Ava?
00:48:46Ava?
00:48:47Ava?
00:48:48Ava?
00:48:49Ava?
00:48:51Ava?
00:48:52Ava?
00:48:53Ava?
00:48:54Ava?
00:48:55Ava, you're so close. Is this a dream?
00:49:05Luca, I'm your brother's wife.
00:49:08So this isn't a dream.
00:49:11Ava, I've had feelings for you for so long.
00:49:16I've tried to keep them a secret, but I can't keep them any longer.
00:49:22And now you know my two secrets and my family code.
00:49:27I have to silence the person who discovers my weaknesses.
00:49:32Luca, let me go.
00:49:34No, no, no, but I can't silence you because, Ava, I have fallen in love with you.
00:49:40Oh God, that's not funny.
00:49:43Look, I've never been more serious.
00:49:47Look, Ava, every time I come around you, I feel myself slipping.
00:49:54And my feelings have crossed that line months ago.
00:49:58Stop, stop, just stop.
00:50:01I'll forget this ever happened.
00:50:03No, Ava, I want to take care of you and the baby for the rest of my life.
00:50:17Luca, I know that you try, but you can't let me in.
00:50:26Luca, what's going on? Why isn't Ava home?
00:50:29What's going on here?
00:50:32Mom, I...
00:50:33Nothing.
00:50:35My clothes were dirty, so Luca prepared for me a shower and clean clothes.
00:50:40Oh, thank goodness.
00:50:42The last thing we need is for you to catch pneumonia.
00:50:45Yeah, I know.
00:50:46Ava, I think that we should probably...
00:50:49Luca, it's almost Marco's birthday.
00:50:54Let's visit his grave.
00:50:57He is your brother and my husband.
00:51:00And we don't want to betray his memory.
00:51:04Oh, you poor thing. You must be utterly exhausted.
00:51:07Let's get you home.
00:51:09These Rossi's are nothing but trouble.
00:51:12We need to accelerate our plans against them.
00:51:14Changing hearts.
00:51:16Changing hearts.
00:51:19Changing hearts.
00:51:22Changing hearts.
00:51:24Marco.
00:51:26I miss you.
00:51:29I feel so lost without you.
00:51:35Would you hate me?
00:51:40If you knew I had feelings for your brother.
00:51:44Ava, are you in there?
00:51:49Ava, are you there?
00:51:54Ava, are you there?
00:51:58I meant everything that I said today.
00:52:02And I want to help you get through this.
00:52:05And I want to protect you.
00:52:07Marco and Mom, they would both understand.
00:52:11Ava, I love you.
00:52:14I love you.
00:52:29I understand how difficult this is.
00:52:33Your loyalty for Marco and your concern for my mother,
00:52:37that is the compassion that...
00:52:39That's the reason I fell in love with you.
00:52:44There's $30 million on this credit card.
00:52:47And the pin number is your birthday.
00:52:49You've been through webs and floes,
00:52:51our less goodbye felt like the end.
00:52:54Can't deny, I can't pretend
00:52:57that this fire burns again.
00:53:00Illuminated rain.
00:53:04I feel alive
00:53:07One more time, our worlds collide
00:53:10Watch them circling in the sky
00:53:13We are magnetic sides
00:53:17I'm falling into you
00:53:19No one loves me like you do
00:53:22Thought that you and I were through
00:53:25The baby's development is right on track
00:53:34Perfect is right on track
00:53:37Perfect, actually
00:53:40Actually
00:53:43Has your husband been doing those tactile bonding exercises I showed you?
00:53:47Has your husband been doing those tactile bonding exercises I showed you?
00:53:50The doctor
00:53:52Actually
00:53:53The doctor
00:53:54Actually he's not exactly my
00:53:57No need to be embarrassed
00:53:59He's not exactly my
00:54:00No need to be embarrassed
00:54:02The way that man looks at you is something special
00:54:09Now face each other
00:54:11Helena take her hands
00:54:14Deep inhale
00:54:16And lean into each other
00:54:19Using each other's weight to support you
00:54:24Come up
00:54:29On the exhale, do a gentle squat
00:54:35And then share and embrace
00:54:41You have anything?
00:54:43Who exactly are you welcoming home, dear daughter-in-law?
00:54:52I was just talking nonsense
00:54:56...
00:55:04Tomorrow
00:55:10Miss, flowers from Mr. Mancini
00:55:15Thank you
00:55:46I wonder if he's doing well out there.
00:56:01Hello? Ava? I'm outside at the gate. Security won't let me in.
00:56:10Mom, what are you doing here?
00:56:17I've missed you terribly, sweetheart. I just wanted to check on you and the baby.
00:56:22Look. Fresh oranges. Just pick today. You need the vitamin C for the baby's development.
00:56:33I'm on a very carefully monitored diet. You wasted a trip.
00:56:37Look. I know that you haven't forgiven me. But you have to understand. Derek and Sarah,
00:56:48I mean, they would have thrown me out on the street if I didn't go along with them.
00:56:53I mean, what choice did I have?
00:56:54That's not rehash the past. Of course. I picked these up for my grandchild. Aren't they precious?
00:57:06That baby that you're carrying is my family, too. I love them so much already.
00:57:12Look, I stood up for you to Derek. And he threw me out. I had absolutely nothing left.
00:57:20This card contains all the money I've saved. It's yours. But you have to promise me that you'll
00:57:35use it for yourself. Not a penny goes to Derek. Okay. I swear it. Not a cent to him. How much
00:57:43money are we talking about? $10,000. $10,000? That's it. You're carrying the Mancini air and
00:57:53all they've given you is $10,000. That is my personal savings. I haven't asked the Mancini's
00:58:00for a cent. Okay. This is completely unacceptable. Everyone in this city knows that the Mancini's
00:58:08are loaded beyond belief. Come on. You need to milk this situation for all it's worth.
00:58:19Honey, I'm... I'm only thinking about your future and your security. I mean, what happens
00:58:29if they throw you out once the baby arrives? I didn't marry into the Mancini family for
00:58:34their fortune. And you mention their money one more time. You'll never see me again.
00:58:40Understand? I understand, sweetheart. Mom won't say another word about it.
00:58:49Psst. $10,000? That's it? That's pocket change for them? She must be holding down on this.
00:58:56That ungrateful little brat. I tried everything. I couldn't squeeze another penny out of her.
00:59:05She's swimming in Mancini money and we're here struggling. After what they did to my leg,
00:59:11I should be getting millions. Yes. A few million? It's just the beginning. We've been thinking
00:59:17too small. I have good reason to believe that we have a common enemy. I think we should work together.
00:59:33Miss Mancini has been sleeping well, sir. She got the prenatal vitamins you sent her and they
00:59:44effectively reduced her morning sickness. And this morning, she ate half a slice of French toast,
00:59:51a half portion of scrambled eggs, two cherry tomatoes, and a glass of milk. And after some
00:59:56gentle persuasion from your mother, she also had a piece of steak for the iron content.
01:00:00Oh. It's good to hear that she's eating healthy. And then she finally attended the prenatal concert
01:00:05we arranged. And afterwards, she spoke with one of the pianists about the compositions.
01:00:11Is it man or woman? Sir, per your instructions, they were all talented women. No exceptions.
01:00:17And she actually mentioned you today. While making hot chocolate, she said to the chef,
01:00:22it's never quite as good as Lucas. She always knows what to say.
01:00:26I'll make her a batch right now and we can have it delivered.
01:00:31Great. I'll arrange a private courier right away.
01:00:39Luca is almost finished with his business. Hopefully, he will make it home in time for the birth.
01:00:47Mrs. Mancini, it's terrible news. Luca's jet has been destroyed amid a flight. He's missing.
01:00:52What? I want every detail immediately.
01:00:56Yes, ma'am.
01:00:58Ava, breathe. Breathe. Don't panic. Don't panic. Luca has always been lucky. He's going to be fine.
01:01:05He will.
01:01:11Hello?
01:01:11I have Luca Mancini. 20 million dollars cash for his safe return. No police, no family, no security team.
01:01:20You come alone or he dies. You have 24 hours.
01:01:27Oh, Ava, are you okay? Who was that?
01:01:32It's nothing, nothing. I'm just dizzy. The baby. So I'm going to go upstairs and lie down.
01:01:40Oh, okay.
01:01:58Money first.
01:02:00Yes.
01:02:10Ow!
01:02:14You okay?
01:02:17Derek?
01:02:19Where's Luca?
01:02:21Where's Luca?
01:02:22Don't worry about Luca.
01:02:24Worry about yourself.
01:02:30Yeah, with her as our bargaining chip, we can demand a hundred million dollars from the man James. Easy.
01:02:53Mom, why are you doing this? Poor family. Why have you always treated me so terribly?
01:03:00Family?
01:03:04You are so pathetic!
01:03:08You just don't get it, do you?
01:03:10You're just some brat that Mom found on the street that she brought home to be our living servant.
01:03:16What are you talking about?
01:03:17You're an orphan!
01:03:18Not even your birth mother wanted you.
01:03:23Yeah, we brought you in.
01:03:25We fed you. We clothed you.
01:03:28And in return, your life belongs to us.
01:03:31Oh 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.
01:03:41But it was a great excuse to get you to basically give up your life and be our slave all these years.
01:03:47Yes.
01:03:51You know what?
01:03:55Even though you're nothing but a bunch of orphan trash, you're actually very beautiful.
01:04:01So 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.
01:04:16Stop!
01:04:18You're sick!
01:04:19Shhh!
01:04:22Now let's just keep that pretty little mouth of yours quiet, shall we?
01:04:32You fucking bitch!
01:04:46Oh god, you're alive! You're okay!
01:05:07My plane blew up!
01:05:08Ava gets kidnapped!
01:05:09This isn't a coincidence!
01:05:10Who are you looking for?
01:05:12Answer me!
01:05:16Oh god!
01:05:18Hey, make them stop!
01:05:20He's your brother!
01:05:21They'll kill him!
01:05:22You just told me I'm an orphan, so he's not really my little brother.
01:05:26You better tell me who your accomplices are, or he stops breathing.
01:05:30You two should be ashamed of yourselves.
01:05:33Can I see the way that you look at each other?
01:05:35He's your dead husband's brother!
01:05:38You're betraying Marco and his mother!
01:05:43Are you alright?
01:05:44Hey, hey, hey, you okay?
01:05:45Yeah, yeah.
01:05:48Your mom has been so kind to me, and I dragged her into this mess.
01:05:52It's all my fault.
01:05:54Your mother-in-law took you in.
01:05:57She treated you like a daughter.
01:05:58She gave you everything that you could ever want, and this is how you repay her?
01:06:02By falling for her younger son?
01:06:04Have you already forgotten Marco and his grave?
01:06:07What is wrong with you?
01:06:09What is wrong with you?
01:06:13I want her as my daughter-in-law.
01:06:16First my eldest son's wife, and now my youngest.
01:06:20Don't you say that you will need to attack him Shesky?
01:06:21I want her.
01:06:22I want her to do the wrong little thing.
01:06:23What do you think?
01:06:24And you'll lose your time?
01:06:25You couldn't have Luca, so you decided to try and kill him?
01:06:42Good thing he changed his flight plan at the last minute, hmm?
01:06:46Cross the Mancini's, and you cease to exist.
01:06:51Release me!
01:06:52My father will burn your empire to the ground.
01:06:55Don't you wonder why my son was gone all that time?
01:07:03Your family's power is already gone.
01:07:09You two have risked everything to be together.
01:07:26I can see that Luca's devotion is absolute.
01:07:32You have endured far too much pain.
01:07:36It's time to let him take care of you.
01:07:39But, Marco, I made a promise to him.
01:07:43And Marco would want your happiness above all else.
01:07:51He will rest easier, knowing that we are protecting you and your child.
01:07:58From this moment forward, I swear to you, nobody will ever hurt you again.
01:08:06Luca, you're bleeding.
01:08:12You gotta keep this clean.
01:08:17Yeah.
01:08:18Infections can get nasty.
01:08:20Okay.
01:08:21So you're saying that you care about me, then?
01:08:27Shut up.
01:08:28Of course I care.
01:08:34All right.
01:08:35Wait.
01:08:36Wait.
01:08:36I think he likes you.
01:09:04Yeah?
01:09:04Ava, I will take care of you and the baby, just like my brother would have.
01:09:15I brought some fruit for you and the...
01:09:18Luca.
01:09:21She's pregnant.
01:09:23Be gentle with her.
01:09:28I think maybe you should get some less.
01:09:31Okay.
01:09:34Oh, wait.
01:09:38What is it?
01:09:39I think I'm in labor.
01:09:41Oh, my God.
01:09:42Come on.
01:09:44What is he saying?
01:09:45Oh.
01:09:50What is taking so long?
01:09:52Is something wrong?
01:09:53She's gone into labor early.
01:09:55Have you two been intimate recently?
01:09:57Well, we didn't exactly.
01:10:00I mean, not completely.
01:10:03I warned you to be careful with her.
01:10:05Oh, I'm sorry.
01:10:06What can we do now?
01:10:07The medication isn't working as we'd hoped.
01:10:09There's another approach we could try.
01:10:13Yes, yes, we'll do anything.
01:10:14Money's no object.
01:10:15Just help her.
01:10:17Some intimate touches can help her relax and feel better.
01:10:21Right here.
01:10:27Right here.
01:10:28Yes.
01:10:32Mom, I can't.
01:10:34Just whip it out.
01:10:35Don't do it.
01:10:37Hurry it up.
01:10:38Let's go.
01:11:03I hope things are going smoothly in there.
01:11:11They've never been together before.
01:11:14Never been together?
01:11:16Then how could she be?
01:11:18The child is my late son's.
01:11:21Luca's brother.
01:11:25You okay?
01:11:28Doctor, please!
01:11:29Doctor, please!
01:11:33One, two, three, push!
01:11:39One, two, three, push!
01:11:42One, two, three, push!
01:11:44Push! Push! Push!
01:11:49Hey.
01:11:50Hey.
01:11:50How are you feeling?
01:12:04Good.
01:12:06Want something to eat?
01:12:07Okay.
01:12:08Okay.
01:12:09I thought this hospital was the best that money can buy.
01:12:16I guess I was misinformed.
01:12:19Luca.
01:12:21They're doing the best they can.
01:12:22That's not terrorizing the staff.
01:12:26Luca.
01:12:27I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:31You would tear me apart.
01:12:32Luca.
01:12:41Remember to control yourself, son.
01:12:46Let her recover first.
01:12:53There you go.
01:12:54Just like me.
01:12:56Hi.
01:12:56And have you decided what to name this little prince?
01:13:02Marco.
01:13:05Marco.
01:13:06I want to name him Marco.
01:13:07I want to name him Marco.
01:13:07Look, little one.
01:13:32It's your daddy.
01:13:35Your real daddy.
01:13:36It's remarkable how much he looks like.
01:13:44Marco.
01:13:46I thought you had all the answers.
01:13:49And that you handle everything.
01:13:52And I promise to protect mom.
01:13:55The business.
01:13:58And your family.
01:14:01Our family.
01:14:02You know Marco used to say that if you wanted to think about somebody, you would watch the dandelion.
01:14:13And if the seeds blew out easily, then they were thinking of you, too.
01:14:16I hear you on the radio.
01:14:23On the radio.
01:14:25Mrs. Mancini's wedding gifts.
01:14:36The finest villas.
01:14:37The Mancini family jewelry.
01:14:37And finally, 30% ownership of Mancini group home.
01:14:38Miss, Mrs. Mancini's wedding gifts, the finest villas, the Mancini family jewellery, and finally, 30% ownership of Mancini group holdings, effective immediately.
01:15:02This ring has been in the Mancini family for seven generations.
01:15:08Passed from mother to daughter-in-law.
01:15:15Thank you, Luna.
01:15:22A perfect fit.
01:15:24Now, I need the two of you to focus on your top priority.
01:15:42Um, top priority.
01:15:44Giving me a granddaughter to play with little Marco Jr.
01:15:50Mom, we're at a church, and there are witnesses.
01:15:54What is this?
