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 swingled 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.
00:00:31If I can't have him, I'll destroy him.
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 me.
00:00:49I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:00:56Ava, you're so close.
00:01:00Is this a dream?
00:01:02If anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately send us.
00:01:08Ava, 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, who 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.
00:01:57Luca, look at her.
00:01:59She's hardly a threat.
00:02:01She's hardly a threat.
00:02:07For the flowers, and for the interruption, my apologies.
00:02:13Senor Mancini, Mr. Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson.
00:02:27And she was carrying his child.
00:02:29Get the car.
00:02:31Let me bring my daughter-in-law home, where she belongs.
00:02:36Don't worry, little one.
00:02:46We'll get through this together.
00:02:48Somehow.
00:02:52Well, looky here.
00:02:54Family Jinx is finally six feet under.
00:02:57Derek, have you lost your mind?
00:03:07What the hell was that?
00:03:09Don'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.
00:03:42I took five jobs.
00:03:44What more could you possibly want?
00:03:45You'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.
00:03:55I'm gonna stomp out that little bastard right now.
00:04:00Send him straight to hell.
00:04:02So he can say hello to his deadbeat dad.
00:04:05Hex!
00:04:06Hex!
00:04:08What the hell is going on here? Who the hell are you people?
00:04:21Ava, right?
00:04:23You were here this morning.
00:04:24Enough, Luca.
00:04:25She's hardly up there.
00:04:26Ma'am?
00:04:27I'm Helena Mancini.
00:04:28Marco's mother.
00:04:29That means I'm your baby's grandmother.
00:04:30The most powerful mafia family in the country.
00:04:31Oh.
00:04:32Marco was my oldest.
00:04:33I'm your baby's grandmother.
00:04:34The most powerful mafia family in the country.
00:04:36Oh.
00:04:37Marco was my oldest.
00:04:38He was my golden boy.
00:04:39I am so sorry that he concealed his identity from you.
00:04:41You have endured far too much suffering because of it.
00:04:56Plain make-believe mancini?
00:04:57Yeah.
00:04:58Seriously.
00:04:59Like, is anybody here actually buying this?
00:05:00Question my identity again and my men will make sure your other leg looks like your first
00:05:01one.
00:05:02Ah!
00:05:03Permanently.
00:05:04Ah!
00:05:05What are you doing?
00:05:06Derek, run!
00:05:07Maybe we should just go.
00:05:08Because...
00:05:09Ah!
00:05:10Ah!
00:05:11Ah!
00:05:12Ah!
00:05:13Ah!
00:05:14Ah!
00:05:15Ah!
00:05:16Ah!
00:05:17Ah!
00:05:18Ah!
00:05:19Ah!
00:05:20Ah!
00:05:21Ah!
00:05:22Ah!
00:05:23Ah!
00:05:24Ah!
00:05:25Ah!
00:05:26Ah!
00:05:27Ah!
00:05:28Ah!
00:05:29Ah!
00:05:30Ah!
00:05:31Ah!
00:05:32One moment here.
00:05:35Anyone who raises a hand to my daughter-in-law deserves to have their fingers snapped.
00:05:42One by one.
00:05:45Come along, our dear.
00:05:49Let's get you home.
00:05:52You're a real home.
00:05:53Welcome home, Signora Eva Minicini.
00:06:17This is where Marco lives.
00:06:19And now, it's your Mancini.
00:06:30Allow me to introduce you to your personal staff, Mrs. Mancini.
00:06:34Your nutritionist, nanny, maternity nurse, each the finest specialist money can acquire.
00:06:38We pledge your absolute dedication to your health and well-being, Signora.
00:06:45Four days of working multiple jobs are over, my dear.
00:06:49Ten million dollars is a little spending money.
00:06:54Thank you, but I can't accept this.
00:06:57I married Marco for love, not for his fortune.
00:07:02Practical and principled, my Marco truly had an eye for quality.
00:07:07There 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.
00:07:20It's a flower girl in the cemetery.
00:07:23Luca, come meet Eva, your brother's wife.
00:07:27Please, show her proper respect.
00:07:34You walk back into a Mancini household.
00:07:37You're either incredibly stupid or incredibly brave.
00:07:41Luca, open this door immediately.
00:07:45Everyone around back, now.
00:07:50Who are you, really?
00:07:56I'll be watching your every move, your every breath.
00:08:01So tell me, who are you, really?
00:08:05My brother's dead, and you appear suddenly?
00:08:08Was this your end game all along?
00:08:11Our fortune?
00:08:12I didn't know Marco's a Mancini.
00:08:14And 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.
00:08:24And 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?
00:08:41That's my girl.
00:08:43Backbone of steel.
00:08:45Are you hurt?
00:08:47Luca, you are too rude.
00:08:50Ava is a good girl.
00:08:52You are falsely accusing her.
00:08:54Come on, Sweeney.
00:08:55Mom's going to take you and get some clothes.
00:08:57Pay no attention to this fool.
00:09:03You may be fooling them,
00:09:05and we'll find out about you and I will expose you.
00:09:23These 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.
00:09:35Treat my dear daughter-in-law well.
00:09:37Tryna be open and honest.
00:09:47This weight on my chest, I don't want it.
00:09:52Oh, isn't she gorgeous?
00:10:20She's... adequate.
00:10:22Always the tough guy act with you.
00:10:26Your 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.
00:10:50Reach out to him, whatever you need, and don't worry.
00:10:56He's actually quite a softie.
00:10:59Now, shall we continue shopping?
00:11:01Yes.
00:11:02Sir?
00:11:02Yes?
00:11:03Your mother has spent approximately $15 million on Miss Jackson in the last week alone.
00:11:12God.
00:11:13In mere days, she has swung the daughter family out of millions of dollars.
00:11:19She'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!
00:11:31If she is playing us for full, then I will personally ensure that she regrets ever hearing the name Manchina.
00:11:45I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:11:46I hate to put extra stress on your shoulders, but we need to discuss the incredible cost of your husband's care.
00:11:54And how the bill will be paid.
00:11:56Limited edition is perfect for you.
00:12:01Marco, you just focus on getting better, okay?
00:12:07Okay.
00:12:08Don't worry about the bills.
00:12:09I've got it covered.
00:12:18Your brother married Miss Jackson under false pretenses.
00:12:21She worked several jobs to make that money.
00:12:24And when your brother got sick, she worked to pay off his medical bills.
00:12:28And then day and night for his funeral.
00:12:30Did I get her all wrong?
00:12:37Hello?
00:12:38Mother is unwell.
00:12:39You need to return home immediately.
00:12:40What's wrong with mom?
00:12:41Is she hurt?
00:12:42Mom?
00:12:43What's going on?
00:12:44Ava.
00:12:45Please don't be angry.
00:12:46We just had to get you here.
00:12:50Hello?
00:12:51Mother is unwell.
00:12:52You need to return home immediately.
00:12:53What's wrong with mom?
00:12:54Is she hurt?
00:12:58Mom?
00:13:01What's going on?
00:13:02Ava, please don't be angry.
00:13:08We just had to get you here.
00:13:11What 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.
00:13:31Are you insane?
00:13:34I'm pregnant.
00:13:35Your husband's dead, Ava.
00:13:37Why keep his baby?
00:13:39Think about your family.
00:13:40Mr. Fang is waiting.
00:13:41Don't make this harder than it needs to be.
00:13:45You are not selling me off to Victor Fang!
00:13:50If she dies, how will you provide for this child?
00:13:56She's calling someone.
00:14:05Hello?
00:14:06Ava's in danger.
00:14:12We need to move.
00:14:13Go, go, go!
00:14:13You think someone's coming to save you?
00:14:34Who dares manhandle my future bride?
00:14:43Mr. Fang.
00:14:44Oh, it's such a pleasure.
00:14:45This is Ava, my sister, who we discussed.
00:14:49Ooh, two for the price of one, I see.
00:14:51Oh, it's just, 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.
00:14:57I think $60,000 is more than fair.
00:15:00Pennies for somebody of your wealth.
00:15:01Derek, 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!
00:15:11No need to be so rough with such a beautiful lady.
00:15:15Now, dear.
00:15:17Just take this right here, and it'll make things easier for everybody.
00:15:22Oh, okay!
00:15:24A little feisty, I see.
00:15:28Maybe you just need a little personal attention.
00:15:31Come on.
00:15:33Come on.
00:15:33Get out of my way!
00:15:57I always knew Ava was trouble.
00:15:58Her husband's barely cold, and she already has been out of here.
00:16:01Who the hell do you think you are?
00:16:07I'm Luca Mancini.
00:16:09Mancini, you idiot.
00:16:11You 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.
00:16:21So it's true?
00:16:22Her baby's the heir to the Mancini family?
00:16:24It looks 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.
00:16:32You will be dealt with tenfold what you did to Ava.
00:16:40Get a doctor!
00:16:41Get a doctor!
00:16:41Get a car!
00:16:42And deal with him.
00:16:43I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear

00:23:27oh
00:23:28Sir, half an hour until closing and Mrs. Mancini has already surpassed the store's average
00:23:46monthly sales in a single day, but she's still a great deal short of the manager's impossible
00:23:52target. She did make it clear that she doesn't want any special treatment, but I have been
00:24:01neglecting my own wardrobe, and the Rossi family event will require several new suits. Now
00:24:06that you mention it, sir, your formal collection is missing quite a few essential items. And
00:24:11I should do some special shopping, shouldn't I?
00:24:15Sir, may I assist you? Sir, this limited edition silk tie would go perfect with your complexion.
00:24:25Sir, I'd be happy to take your measurements personally. Sir, as store manager, I would
00:24:31be honored to assist you with your needs myself. I'd actually like Miss Jackson to assist me.
00:24:38I hear her taste in mince fashion is exceptional. Shall we begin?
00:24:45Right this way, sir.
00:24:49Alright, I just need to take your measurements. Whoa, what are you doing?
00:24:59Your measurement locker?
00:25:01I just needed you to take the jacket off. Well, we don't have much time.
00:25:08I know.
00:25:14Now, measure me like this.
00:25:22Ava, time is almost up.
00:25:50I did it. I saved my job, and I made a new sales record. Thank you.
00:26:03There's no reason to thank me. I'm here to help. Whenever you need it.
00:26:20I hate to do this, but Ava Jackson, you're fired.
00:26:27What? No. I met your target and then some.
00:26:33Oh. That last sale? The one that put you over the top? That was actually mine.
00:26:38You're trying to steal my commission. Well, that won't work because everyone in this store saw me make that sale.
00:26:45I get it. You threatened them into silence. Well, that won't work either. Because the security cameras caught everything.
00:26:57Security cameras.
00:26:58What horrible timing. Unfortunately, the security cameras are down for maintenance today. But fortunately, everyone here saw you destroy thousands of dollars worth of merchandise. You all saw Ava, didn't you?
00:27:22Yeah. We all saw it.
00:27:25So someone should call security. Better yet, call the police.
00:27:37I'm sorry sir, but we're closed for the day.
00:27:39I heard that this store got trashed.
00:27:41I'm going to have to ask you to leave, or I'm going to have to call the police.
00:27:44The police work for me. Are you? Luca Mancini?
00:28:14I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
00:28:15civil rights?
00:28:16No.
00:28:17Super, I'm a sinner.
00:28:18I'm going to ask you to leave, or I'll have to ask you.
00:28:19No problem?
00:28:20No problem?
00:28:21No problem?
00:28:22No problem.
00:28:23No problem?
00:28:24No problem?
00:28:37No problem.
00:28:38No problem?
00:28:39No problem.
00:28:40No problem.
00:28:41No problem.
00:28:42Please stop! I admit it! I was wrong!
00:28:46Who really damaged the merchandise in this store?
00:28:48The items that you destroyed are worth over several millions of dollars! That's five years in prison!
00:28:57Luca, what happened?
00:28:58There's nothing more talking about. We need to go.
00:29:00And by the way, you're fired!
00:29:02Let's go. A mom could just do it.
00:29:05How 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. It's all taken care of, thanks to Luca.
00:29:23The store looked like a tornado hit it.
00:29:25A man who will be serving time in a jail cell. Justice is served.
00:29:30That's my boy.
00:29:32Sweetheart, I would like you to concentrate full-time on your pregnancy right now.
00:29:39All of this work drama can wait until after my grandchild is born safely.
00:29:45Yes, ma'am.
00:29:46I transferred $5 million into your personal account for prenatal care.
00:29:52I 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, that's really not necessary.
00:30:06I have those meetings in Europe, so possibly I could have some more substitute in for me.
00:30:10Yeah, and I'm perfectly capable of going by myself.
00:30:14I, uh, I don't want to travel, Luca, with something so routine.
00:30:18It's decided. Cancel whatever meetings you have. I want you to take her. I will not stand for any more incidents.
00:30:28Yes, ma'am.
00:30:31Ava Jackson? We're ready for you now.
00:30:45Dad should come too. We encourage partner participation.
00:30:49Oh no, he's not.
00:30:56Would you prefer that I explain that I'm your dead husband's brother?
00:30:59That might be a bit awkward.
00:31:01Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, please come in when you're ready.
00:31:03Coming.
00:31:04If you could lift your top up slightly and lower your skirt band just a bit, we'll get started.
00:31:17First prenatal checkup together, I'm guessing.
00:31:32The baby looks perfectly healthy. Current length is about three inches with a strong heart rate.
00:31:40Is the baby moving? Yes, indeed.
00:31:44Look there. The little one's making faces.
00:31:49Quite the expressive child already.
00:31:56Dad, don't you want to come take a look?
00:31:58The 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. It's quite beneficial for fetal development.
00:32:25Come over here and place your hands on her belly.
00:32:28Doctor, is that really appropriate?
00:32:31What's inappropriate about it? This is what husbands do.
00:32:38Okay.
00:32:52Sorry, did I hurt you?
00:32:53No, no, no. It just feels strange.
00:32:58Like this. Top to bottom, left to right. Gentle strokes.
00:33:07Got it?
00:33:09Got it.
00:33:11Do this once daily, five to ten minutes each.
00:33:16You can sit up now.
00:33:17So everything good with the baby? Any special instructions I should know about?
00:33:29Nothing.
00:33:31Nothing, no.
00:33:32The doctor did say that the baby is developing beautifully and there's nothing to worry about.
00:33:36Good news then.
00:33:38Before I forget, the Rossi family's daughter is having her birthday celebration next weekend and we should all attend.
00:33:49The Rossi family?
00:33:51Technically, they're our 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.
00:34:05Miss 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...
00:34:21Good 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, hey. Rossi's family lack of manners never disappoints me.
00:34:40Luca Mancini, how dare you speak to me like that?
00:34:43Miss Rossi, right? I'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.
00:35:02I came all this way to bring you that, and this is how you welcome me?
00:35:06Don't disappoint me at the party, darling.
00:35:08Or something sharp.
00:35:12Yes.
00:35:22See 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.
00:35:34You look so handsome.
00:35:39Well, well, well. It looks like my stubborn son has good taste after all.
00:35:44Luca did an excellent job selecting this gown. It 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.
00:36:05Besides, Luca will be with us the whole time, and he'll make sure everything runs smoothly.
00:36:13Luca? What about her shoes? How could you forget something so basic?
00:36:16ука...
00:36:18Why would you enjoy something so basic?!
00:36:24Thanks.
00:36:25Right there.
00:36:33Right there.
00:36:49No problem.
00:36:51Just don't want you to fall.
00:36:53Who's that with Mr. Mancini?
00:37:09She's clearly pregnant.
00:37:11Do you think that's Mr. Mancini's baby?
00:37:13I had no idea he was going to marry.
00:37:15Must be his mistress.
00:37:17How shameless.
00:37:19Everyone, I would like to introduce Ava Mancini.
00:37:22My eldest son, Marco's wife.
00:37:24Marco's wife?
00:37:26She's stunning.
00:37:28This is my birthday party!
00:37:32I'm supposed to be the center of attention,
00:37:34not some pregnant woman!
00:37:36Maybe we shouldn't cross a scene here.
00:37:40It's fine.
00:37:42She's always like this.
00:37:44We didn't mean to steal your spotlight.
00:37:48An apology simply isn't enough.
00:37:50Since you're Luca's sister-in-law,
00:37:52why don't you entertain us all with a performance of some kind?
00:37:56Look!
00:37:58She used to deliver food for a living!
00:38:00Waitress? Retail clerk? Cleaning lady?
00:38:02What could someone with her background possibly perform for this crowd?
00:38:06Ava, how does this piece go again?
00:38:20I'm completely lost here. I'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.
00:38:28He has to be setting her up.
00:38:30Even Miss Mancini is smiling.
00:38:32Just waiting for her to crash and burn.
00:38:34I was just playing for the baby.
00:38:56I think he recognized the music you were playing for us earlier.
00:39:00Well, maybe you should teach me sometime. Properly.
00:39:06I'd like to play for you both.
00:39:10Um, because Mom did tell me to look after you,
00:39:12so it's the least that I can do.
00:39:16Okay.
00:39:18Okay.
00:39:20Okay.
00:39:22Okay.
00:39:24Okay.
00:39:26Okay.
00:39:28Okay.
00:39:30And there.
00:40:02They're definitely more than in-laws.
00:40:06Look at the way they play together.
00:40:08If I can't have him, I'll destroy them both.
00:40:17Yeah, I always enjoy these type of events.
00:40:20Me too.
00:40:20That habit's good.
00:40:22From Miss Russell.
00:40:24The continents.
00:40:25Cheers.
00:40:29Sir, that drink is almost certainly drugged.
00:40:32Obviously.
00:40:33Is the Rossi family making a move against us?
00:40:36These tensions have been simmering for years.
00:40:38Should we respond preemptively?
00:40:44Do nothing.
00:40:45You just need to focus on protecting Ava.
00:40:49We'll see what they have planned.
00:40:50Darling, you look tired.
00:40:59I don't think all this excitement is good for your condition.
00:41:02Why don't you try to find Luca and let's get you home.
00:41:07Sophia's bedroom.
00:41:31Why is Luca's phone in there?
00:41:33And why am I jealous?
00:41:36I've wanted Luca for years, and then you waltz in and get his attention in weeks.
00:41:57You won't look so innocent when everyone sees you in bed next to your dead husband's brother.
00:42:06This isn't exactly how you wanted it.
00:42:09Not at all.
00:42:10This isn't convincing.
00:42:11Unbutton their clothes.
00:42:19Sal, position them closer together.
00:42:21Make it look more intimate.
00:42:22Perfect.
00:42:29Let's go.
00:42:30Our masterpiece is complete.
00:42:32Now we just have to bring in the audience.
00:42:43I expected much more than just this juvenile prank from my business partner.
00:42:47Ava, wake up.
00:43:02Ava.
00:43:03Ava.
00:43:04Ava.
00:43:04Ava.
00:43:12Luca.
00:43:15Oh my God.
00:43:16What happened to us?
00:43:24This is bad.
00:43:35If anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:43:43Luca, wake up.
00:43:44People 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?
00:44:01I'm your late brother's widow and I'm carrying his child.
00:44:05If anyone sees us like this, they'll...
00:44:07The Mancini family name won't be destroyed.
00:44:09Okay.
00:44:11Okay.
00:44:11Oh, so Mancini name is what you're concerned about.
00:44:15Is that it?
00:44:17Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:44:18You haven't answered.
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 with his brother's pregnant widow.
00:44:41Can you let go?
00:44:52Can you let go?
00:44:52They're coming.
00:44:56Come on.
00:45:01Here, I got this one.
00:45:02Wait, stop.
00:45:03Watch, they're right there.
00:45:05If we walk through that door, we'll walk right into their trap.
00:45:07Okay, then what's your brilliant idea, Miss Ma'am?
00:45:10Um, we...
00:45:11Let's go through the window.
00:45:13We can climb down.
00:45:14Whoa, whoa, whoa, no.
00:45:15I...
00:45:15No, no, I'm afraid of heights.
00:45:17You'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 deal with it.
00:45:31What?
00:45:31What the hell's to do?
00:45:34Miss Lucy, where are these cheaters you promised to expose?
00:45:37Shh, keep 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.
00:45:45They're coming.
00:45:45Let's go.
00:45:48Okay.
00:45:49Hurry, hurry.
00:45:50No, no, no, no, no, don't run.
00:45:55We have to catch them in the act first.
00:45:57Are you insane?
00:45:58Your house is on fire.
00:45:59Who cares about the gossip?
00:46:01They don't need out of here.
00:46:02No, no, no, no, no.
00:46:02I'll help everyone leave afterwards, but first let's get a look at them.
00:46:05Come on.
00:46:06Come on.
00:46:06What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:46:31I am so sorry.
00:46:32It was an accident, please.
00:46:35You okay?
00:46:36Yeah.
00:46:38The 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.
00:46:51Now go on.
00:46:52It's warm.
00:46:55Thanks.
00:47:01What is it?
00:47:28Miss Rossi is demanding to see you, sir.
00:47:32She's quite insistent.
00:47:34Okay, let her run.
00:47:38You set off the fire alarms and completely scared away my guests.
00:47:42You ruined my birthday celebration.
00:47:54Hey.
00:47:54You will take full responsibility for what you did.
00:47:58The drugging, the setup, all of it.
00:48:01And if you ever threaten Ava again, directly or indirectly,
00:48:06I will end the Rossi family from this city permanently.
00:48:10You're a monster.
00:48:11That's her in there, isn't it?
00:48:13Ava?
00:48:14Your dead brother's wife?
00:48:16How dare you?
00:48:16Take the word.
00:48:18Ew, get your hands off of me!
00:48:20Do you know who I am?
00:48:21Luca?
00:48:36Luca?
00:48:41Luca?
00:48:41Luca, it's me, wake up.
00:48:50Ava, you're so close.
00:48:52Is this a dream?
00:48:59Luca, I'm your brother's wife.
00:49:03So this isn't a dream plan.
00:49:06Ava, I've had feelings for you for so long.
00:49:11I'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,
00:49:22I have to silence the person who discovers my weaknesses.
00:49:27Luca, let me go.
00:49:29No, no, no, but I can't silence you because, Ava, I have fallen in love with you.
00:49:34Oh, God, that's not funny.
00:49:38Look, I've never been more serious.
00:49:41Look, Ava, every time I come around you, I feel myself slipping.
00:49:48And my feelings have crossed that line months ago.
00:49:53Stop, stop, just stop.
00:49:56I'll forget this ever happened.
00:49:58No, Ava.
00:49:58I want to take care of you, and the baby, for the rest of my life.
00:50:13Luca, I...
00:50:16Luca, what's going on?
00:50:22Why isn't Ava home?
00:50:23What's going on here?
00:50:27Mom, I think...
00:50:28Nothing.
00:50:30My clothes were dirty, so Luca prepared for me a shower and clean clothes.
00:50:35Oh, thank goodness.
00:50:37The last thing we need is for you to catch pneumonia.
00:50:40Yeah, I know.
00:50:41Ava, I think that we should probably...
00:50:44Luca...
00:50:45It's almost Marco's birthday.
00:50:49His visit is great.
00:50:52He's your brother and my husband.
00:50:55And we don't want to betray his memory.
00:50:59Oh, you poor thing.
00:51:00You must be utterly exhausted.
00:51:02Let's get you home.
00:51:04These Rossis are nothing but trouble.
00:51:06We need to accelerate our plans against them.
00:51:09Changing hearts, changing hearts, changing hearts, changing hearts, changing hearts.
00:51:20Marco, I miss you.
00:51:27I feel so lost without you.
00:51:30Would you hate me if you knew I had feelings for your brother?
00:51:42Ava, are you in there?
00:51:51Ava, are you there?
00:51:54I meant everything that I said today.
00:51:56And I want to help you get through this.
00:51:59And I want to protect you.
00:52:02Marco and Mom, they would both understand.
00:52:07Ava, I love you.
00:52:23I understand how difficult this is.
00:52:26And your loyalty for Marco.
00:52:30And your concern for my mother.
00:52:31That is the compassion that...
00:52:33That's the reason I fell in love with you.
00:52:39There's 30 million dollars on this credit card.
00:52:42And the pin number is your birthday.
00:52:43I've been through epsom flows.
00:52:46I asked goodbye, felt like the end.
00:52:49Can't deny, I can't pretend.
00:52:52That this fire burns again.
00:52:57Illuminated rain.
00:52:59I feel alive.
00:53:01One more time, our worlds collide.
00:53:04Watch them circling in the sky.
00:53:07We are magnetic sides.
00:53:11I'm falling in the sky.
00:53:12Wait for me.
00:53:13You, no one loves me like you do.
00:53:17That day you and I went through.
00:53:20The baby's development is right on track.
00:53:29Perfect, actually.
00:53:30How's your husband been doing those tactile bonding exercises I showed you?
00:53:36Doctor.
00:53:38Uh, actually he's not exactly my...
00:53:41Oh, no need to be embarrassed.
00:53:43The way that man looks at you is something special.
00:53:45Now face each other.
00:53:53Helena, take her hands.
00:53:55Deep inhale.
00:53:57And lean into each other.
00:53:59Using each other's weight to support you.
00:54:03Come up.
00:54:08On the exhale, do a gentle squat.
00:54:12And then share and embrace.
00:54:21You're going to be home.
00:54:28Who exactly are you welcoming home, dear daughter-in-law?
00:54:32I was just talking nonsense.
00:54:35Miss, flowers from Mr. Mancini.
00:55:26I wonder if he's doing well out there.
00:55:44Hello?
00:55:45Ava?
00:55:46I'm outside at the gate.
00:55:48Security won't let me in.
00:55:50Mom, what are you doing here?
00:55:56I've missed you terribly, sweetheart.
00:55:59I just wanted to check on you and the baby.
00:56:05Look, fresh oranges.
00:56:08Just pick today.
00:56:10You need the vitamin C for the baby's development.
00:56:12I'm on a very carefully monitored diet.
00:56:15You wasted a trip.
00:56:20Look, I know that you haven't forgiven me, but you have to understand.
00:56:26Derek and Sarah, I mean, they would have thrown me out on the street if I didn't go along with them.
00:56:32I mean, what choice did I have?
00:56:36That's not rehash the past.
00:56:38Of course.
00:56:39I picked these up for my grandchild.
00:56:42Aren't they precious?
00:56:43That baby that you're carrying is my family, too.
00:56:50I love them so much already.
00:56:53Look, I stood up for you to Derek, and he threw me out.
00:56:58I had absolutely nothing left.
00:56:59This card contains all the money I've saved.
00:57:12It's yours.
00:57:13But you have to promise me that you'll use it for yourself.
00:57:16Not a penny goes to Derek.
00:57:18Okay.
00:57:19I swear it.
00:57:20Not a cent to him.
00:57:22How much money are we talking about?
00:57:24$10,000.
00:57:24$10,000?
00:57:29That's it.
00:57:30You're carrying the Mancini air, and all they've given you is $10,000.
00:57:35That is my personal savings.
00:57:38I haven't asked the Mancinis for a cent.
00:57:40Okay, this is completely unacceptable.
00:57:45Everyone in this city knows that the Mancinis are loaded beyond belief.
00:57:49Come on.
00:57:50You need to milk this situation for all it's worth.
00:57:53Honey, I'm only thinking about your future and your security.
00:58:06I mean, what happens if they throw you out once the baby arrives?
00:58:10I didn't marry into the Mancini family for their fortune.
00:58:15And you mention their money one more time, you'll never see me again.
00:58:19Understood?
00:58:20I understand, sweetheart.
00:58:22Mom won't say another word about it.
00:58:30$10,000?
00:58:31That's it?
00:58:32That's pocket change for them?
00:58:34She must be holding down on us.
00:58:38That ungrateful little brat.
00:58:41I tried everything.
00:58:43I couldn't squeeze another penny out of her.
00:58:45She's swimming in Mancini money, and we're here struggling.
00:58:48After what they did to my leg, I should be getting millions!
00:58:51Yes.
00:58:52A few million?
00:58:54It's just the beginning.
00:58:55We've been thinking too small.
00:58:57I have good reason to believe that we have a common enemy.
00:59:11I think we should work together.
00:59:13Miss Mancini has been sleeping well, sir.
00:59:20She got the prenatal vitamins you sent her, and they effectively reduced her morning sickness.
00:59:26And this morning, she ate half a slice of French toast, a half portion of scrambled eggs, two cherry tomatoes, and a glass of milk.
00:59:34And after some gentle persuasion from your mother, she also had a piece of steak for the iron content.
00:59:39Well, it's good to hear that she's eating healthy.
00:59:42And then she finally attended the prenatal concert we arranged, and afterwards, she spoke with one of the pianists about the compositions.
00:59:50Is it man or woman?
00:59:52Sir, per your instructions, they were all talented women.
00:59:55No exceptions.
00:59:56And she actually mentioned you today.
00:59:59While making hot chocolate, she said to the chef,
01:00:02It's never quite as good as Lucas.
01:00:04She always knows what to say.
01:00:06I'll make her a batch right now, and we can have it delivered.
01:00:11Great. I'll arrange your private courier right away.
01:00:19Luca is almost finished with his business.
01:00:22Hopefully, he will make it home in time for the birth.
01:00:26Mrs. Mancini, it's terrible news.
01:00:29Luca's jet has been destroyed amid a flight.
01:00:30He... he's missing.
01:00:32What?
01:00:34Every detail immediately.
01:00:35Yes, ma'am.
01:00:36Ava, breathe.
01:00:39Breathe.
01:00:40Don't panic.
01:00:40Don't panic.
01:00:41Luca has always been lucky.
01:00:43He's gonna be fine.
01:00:44He will.
01:00:50Hello?
01:00:51I have Luca Mancini.
01:00:5220 million dollars cash for his safe return.
01:00:55No police, no family, no security team.
01:00:59You come alone, or he dies.
01:01:01You have 24 hours.
01:01:03Oh, Ava, are you okay?
01:01:10Who was that?
01:01:11It's nothing, nothing.
01:01:13I'm just dizzy.
01:01:15The baby.
01:01:17So I'm gonna go upstairs and lie down.
01:01:20Okay.
01:01:20Okay.
01:01:21Money first.
01:01:39Ow.
01:01:39You okay?
01:01:41You okay?
01:01:41Derek?
01:01:41Where's Luca?
01:01:43Where's Luca?
01:01:43Where's Luca?
01:01:44Don't worry about Luca.
01:01:46Don't worry about Luca.
01:01:49Worry about yourself.
01:01:51You okay?
01:01:52Derek?
01:01:53Where's Luca?
01:01:55Where's Luca?
01:01:57Don't worry about Luca.
01:01:58Where's Luka?
01:02:00Where's Luka?
01:02:01Don't worry about Luka.
01:02:03Worry about yourself.
01:02:21Yeah, with her as our bargaining chip,
01:02:25we can demand a hundred million dollars
01:02:28from the man-keeps.
01:02:30Easy.
01:02:32Mom.
01:02:33Mom, why are you doing this?
01:02:35Poor family.
01:02:36Why have you always treated me so terribly?
01:02:42Family?
01:02:44You are so pathetic!
01:02:47You just don't get it, do you?
01:02:49You're just some brat that Mom found on the street
01:02:51that she brought home to be our living servant.
01:02:54You're an orphan!
01:02:56You're an orphan!
01:02:58Not even your birth mother wanted you.
01:03:01Yeah, we brought you in.
01:03:03We fed you.
01:03:04We clothed you.
01:03:06And in return, your life belongs to us.
01:03:10Oh, and by the way, since we're being honest with each other right now,
01:03:15my 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
01:03:24and be our slave all these years.
01:03:26You know what?
01:03:27Even 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 role-play thing,
01:03:48I don't want to do something that I've wanted to do for a very, very long time.
01:03:56Stop!
01:03:57You're sick!
01:03:58Shhh!
01:03:59Shhh!
01:04:00Shhh!
01:04:01Shhh!
01:04:02Now let's just keep that pretty little mouth of yours quiet, shall we?
01:04:08Shhh!
01:04:09Shhh!
01:04:10Shhh!
01:04:11Shhh!
01:04:12You fucking bitch!
01:04:13Shhh!
01:04:14Shhh!
01:04:15Shhh!
01:04:16Shhh!
01:04:17Oh, God, you're alive!
01:04:32Shhh!
01:04:33Oh God, you're alive. You're okay.
01:04:42Stop! Stop!
01:04:46My plane blew up.
01:04:48Ava gets kidnapped. This isn't a coincidence.
01:04:50Who are you looking for? Answer me!
01:04:57Hey, make them stop.
01:04:59He's your brother.
01:05:01They'll kill him.
01:05:01You just told me I'm an orphan, so he's not really my real brother.
01:05:05You better tell me who your accomplices are, or he stops breathing.
01:05:09You two should be ashamed of yourselves.
01:05:12Dad, see the way that you look at each other?
01:05:14He's your dead husband's brother.
01:05:17You're a betrayer, Marco, and his mother.
01:05:22Are you all right? Hey, hey, hey, you okay?
01:05:25Yeah, yeah.
01:05:27Your mom has been so kind to me, and I dragged her into this mess.
01:05:31It's on my floor.
01:05:33Your mother-in-law took you in.
01:05:36She treated you like a daughter.
01:05:37She gave you everything that you could ever want,
01:05:39and this is how you repay her?
01:05:41By falling for her younger son?
01:05:43Have you already forgotten Marco?
01:05:46It is great.
01:05:47What is wrong with you?
01:05:52I want her as my daughter-in-law.
01:05:54First, my eldest son's wife, and now my youngest.
01:06:01Object again, and you'll lose your tongue.
01:06:04You couldn't have Luca, so you decided to try and kill him?
01:06:21Good thing he changed his plight plan at the last minute, hmm?
01:06:26Cross the Mancini's, and you cease to exist.
01:06:30Just release me.
01:06:31My father will burn your empire to the ground.
01:06:37Don't you wonder why my son was gone all that time?
01:06:43Your family's power?
01:06:47Already gone.
01:06:48You two have risked everything to be together.
01:07:05I can see that Luca's devotion is absolute.
01:07:10You have endured far too much pain.
01:07:16It's time to let him take care of you.
01:07:18But, Marco, I made a promise to him.
01:07:23And Marco would want your happiness above all else.
01:07:30He will rest easier,
01:07:32knowing that we are protecting you and your child.
01:07:37From this moment forward,
01:07:43I swear to you, nobody will ever hurt you again.
01:07:50Luca, you're bleeding.
01:07:55You gotta keep this clean.
01:07:57Yeah.
01:07:58Infections can get nasty.
01:08:01Okay.
01:08:03So you're saying that you care about me, then?
01:08:05Shut up.
01:08:08Of course I care.
01:08:13Alright.
01:08:15Wait.
01:08:15I think he likes you.
01:08:43Yeah.
01:08:45Ava, I will take care of you, and the baby, just like my brother would have.
01:08:55I brought some fruit for you and the- Luca, she's pregnant, be gentle with her.
01:09:08I think maybe you should get some rest.
01:09:13Oh, wait.
01:09:18What is it?
01:09:19I think I'm in labor.
01:09:20Oh my god.
01:09:22Come on.
01:09:23Take me to sleep.
01:09:25What is taking so long?
01:09:31Is something wrong?
01:09:32She's gone into labor early.
01:09:34Have you two been intimate recently?
01:09:37Well, we didn't exactly.
01:09:40I mean, not completely.
01:09:42I warned you to be careful with her.
01:09:44What can we do now?
01:09:46The medication isn't working as we'd hoped.
01:09:49There's another approach we could try.
01:09:52Yes, yes, we'll do anything, Mon.
01:09:53It's no object.
01:09:54Just help her.
01:09:55Some intimate touches can help her relax and feel better.
01:10:03Right here.
01:10:06Right here.
01:10:07Yes.
01:10:11Mom, I can't.
01:10:13Just whip it out.
01:10:15Don't do it.
01:10:17Oh, get up.
01:10:22Oh, mate.
01:10:25Oh, man.
01:10:27Oh!
01:10:27Oh, man.
01:10:35Oh, man.
01:10:38Oh, man.
01:10:39Oh, man.
01:10:41Oh, man.
01:10:44I hope things are going smoothly in there.
01:10:50They've never been together before.
01:10:54Never been together?
01:10:56Then how could she be?
01:10:58The child is my late son's.
01:11:01Luca's brother.
01:11:05You okay?
01:11:07Doctor, please!
01:11:08Doctor, please!
01:11:14One, two, three, push!
01:11:18One, two, three, push!
01:11:22One, two, three, push!
01:11:23Push! Push! Push!
01:11:24Push!
01:11:29Hey.
01:11:42Hi.
01:11:43How you doing?
01:11:44Okay.
01:11:45You want something to eat?
01:11:47Okay.
01:11:48Okay.
01:11:52I thought this hospital was the best that money can buy.
01:11:55I guess I was misinformed.
01:11:58Luca, they're doing the best they can.
01:12:02That's not terrorizing the staff.
01:12:05Luca, I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:10You would tear me apart.
01:12:11Luca, remember to control yourself, son.
01:12:24Let her recover first.
01:12:27And have you decided what to name this little prince?
01:12:42Marco.
01:12:44Marco.
01:12:45I want to name him Marco.
01:12:46Look, little one.
01:13:10I know it's hard to let you go.
01:13:11It's your daddy.
01:13:14Your real daddy.
01:13:20It's remarkable how much he looks like you.
01:13:23Marco.
01:13:25I thought you had all the answers.
01:13:28And that you handle everything.
01:13:31And I promise to protect mom,
01:13:34the business,
01:13:37and your family.
01:13:38I heard that.
01:13:44You know, Marco used to say
01:13:47that if you wanted to think about somebody,
01:13:49you would watch the dandelion,
01:13:51and if the seeds blew out easily,
01:13:53then they were thinking of you too.
