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.
00:02:07For the flowers.
00:02:09And for the interruption.
00:02:11My apologies.
00:02:13Senor Mancini.
00:02:24Mr. Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson.
00:02:27And she was carrying his child.
00:02:31Get the car.
00:02:32Let me bring my daughter-in-law home.
00:02:35Where she belongs.
00:02:43Don't worry, little one.
00:02:45We'll get through this together.
00:02:48Somehow.
00:02:52Well, looky here.
00:02:55Family 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.
00:03:12This is Marco's baby.
00:03:15This is our child.
00:03:17Of course I'm keeping it.
00:03:19Ever 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.
00:03:37This is your fault.
00:03:39I dropped out of college for this family.
00:03:42I took five jobs.
00:03:43What more could you possibly want?
00:03:45You'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.
00:03:58I'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.
00:04:08Hex!

00:04:27What the hell is going on here?
00:04:28Who the hell are you people?
00:04:29Ava, right?
00:04:31Ava, right?
00:04:33You were here this morning.
00:04:35Enough, Luca.
00:04:37She's hardly up to that.
00:04:41Ma'am?
00:04:42I'm Helena Mancini.
00:04:44Marco's mother.
00:04:48That means I'm your baby's grandmother.
00:04:52The most powerful mafia family in the country.
00:04:57Marco was my oldest.
00:04:59Hex!
00:05:00Hex!

00:05:13Plain make-believe?
00:05:14Mancini?
00:05:15Yeah.
00:05:16Seriously?
00:05:17Like, is anybody here actually buying this?
00:05:19Question 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!
00:05:29Run!
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.
00:05:45One.
00:05:46Come along, Evian.
00:05:47Let's get you home.
00:05:48To your real home.
00:05:49No.
00:05:50No.
00:05:51No.
00:05:52No.
00:05:53No.
00:05:54No.
00:05:55No.
00:05:56No.
00:05:57No.
00:05:58No.
00:05:59No.
00:06:00No.
00:06:01No.
00:06:02No.
00:06:03No.
00:06:04No.
00:06:05No.
00:06:06No.
00:06:07No.
00:06:08No.
00:06:09No.

00:06:29No.
00:06:30No.
00:06:31No.
00:06:32No.
00:06:33No.
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, senor.
00:06:45Your days of working multiple jobs are over, my dear.
00:06:49Ten million dollars is a little spending money.
00:06:52Well, thank you.
00:06:55Well, thank you, but I can't accept this.
00:07:00Thank you, but I can't accept this.
00:07:01I 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.
00:07:24Well, well, well.
00:07:26It's a flower girl in the cemetery.
00:07:28Luca, come meet Ava, your brother's wife.
00:07:33Please, show her proper.
00:07:38Respect!
00:07:40You walk back into a Mancini household?
00:07:44You're either incredibly stupid or incredibly brave.
00:07:49Luca!
00:07:49Open this door immediately!
00:07:54Everyone around back, now!
00:07:58Who are you, really?
00:08:01I'll be watching your every move, your every breath.
00:08:07So tell me, who are you, really?
00:08:11My brother's dead, and you appear suddenly?
00:08:14Was this your endgame all along?
00:08:17Our 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.
00:08:23You can't walk anywhere!
00:08:25She's not going anywhere!
00:08:30And get your hands off of her!
00:08:32She is carrying Marco's child.
00:08:35Oh, is she?
00:08:36How do we even know it is Marco's child?
00:08:38Convenient timing, wouldn't you say?
00:08:40Questioning on you, Marco, don't you dare question my child?
00:08:48That's my girl!
00:08:49Backbone of steel!
00:08:51Are you hurt?
00:08:54Luca!
00:08:55You are too rude!
00:08:56Ava is a good girl!
00:08:58You are falsely accusing her!
00:09:00Come on, sweetie.
00:09:01Mom's going to take you and get some clothes.
00:09:03Pay no attention to this fool.
00:09:05You may be fooling them, but I will find out about you, and I will expose you.
00:09:13These are all the latest European styles.
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.
00:09:39It's all on Luca's card.
00:09:41Treat my dear daughter-in-law well.
00:09:43Tryna be open and honest
00:10:07This weight on my chest, I don't want it
00:10:11I'd hate to be breaking, I promise
00:10:15Cause I owe you the truth that I...
00:10:18Oh, isn't she gorgeous?
00:10:24She's adequate.
00:10:27Always the tough guy act with you.
00:10:32Your 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.
00:10:49Nonsense.
00:10:50We're family now.
00:10:52I am putting Luca's contact info into your phone.
00:10:56Reach out to him.
00:10:58Whatever you need.
00:11:00And don't worry.
00:11:01He's actually quite a softie.
00:11:04Now, shall we continue shopping?
00:11:07Yes.
00:11:11Sir.
00:11:12Yes.
00:11:13Your mother has spent approximately 15 million dollars on Miss Jackson in the last week alone.
00:11:19God.
00:11:20In mere days, she has swooned our family out of millions of dollars.
00:11:24She'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.
00:11:35Everything!
00:11:37If she is playing us for fools,
00:11:39then I will personally ensure that she regrets ever hearing the name Mancino.
00:11:51I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:11:52I hate to put extra stress on your shoulders,
00:11:56but we need to discuss the incredible cost of your husband's care
00:12:00and 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.
00:12:22Your 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,
00:12:32she worked to pay off his medical bills.
00:12:34And then day and night for his funeral.
00:12:37Did I get her all wrong?
00:12:39Mother is unwell.
00:12:53You need to return home immediately.
00:12:57What's wrong with mom?
00:12:59Is she hurt?
00:13:04Mom?
00:13:04What's going on?
00:13:12Ava,
00:13:13please 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,
00:13:25we had to find another solution.
00:13:27Victor Fang.
00:13:28That old loan shark's willing to give us $80,000
00:13:31just to marry you.
00:13:37Are you insane?
00:13:40I'm pregnant.
00:13:41Your husband's dead, Ava.
00:13:43Why keep his baby?
00:13:45Think about your family.
00:13:46Mr. Fang is waiting.
00:13:47Don't make this harder than it needs to be.
00:13:51You are not selling me off to Victor Fang!
00:13:56If she dies,
00:13:57how will you provide for this child?
00:14:02She's calling someone!
00:14:11Hello?
00:14:12Hello?
00:14:17Ava's in danger.
00:14:18We need to move.
00:14:19Go, go, go!
00:14:37Dad!
00:14:38Dad!
00:14:38You think someone's coming to save you?
00:14:42Dad!
00:14:43Dad!
00:14:43Who dares manhandle my future bride?
00:14:49Mr. Fang!
00:14:50Oh, it's such a pleasure.
00:14:51This is Ava, my sister, who we discussed.
00:14:55Ooh!
00:14:55Two 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 more than fair.
00:15:05Pennies 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!
00:15:17No need to be so rough with such a beautiful lady.
00:15:21Now, dear.
00:15:23Just take this right here
00:15:25and it'll make things easier for everybody.
00:15:28Oh, okay!
00:15:30You're a little feisty, I see.
00:15:34Maybe you just need a little personal attention.
00:15:37Come on.
00:15:38You're good.
00:15:39Get out of my way!
00:16:03I always knew Ava was trouble.
00:16:04Her husband's fairly cold
00:16:05and she already has been out of here.
00:16:08Who the hell do you think you are?
00:16:13I'm looking at Mancini.
00:16:15Mancini, you idiot.
00:16:17You killed me!
00:16:19How did my sister get caught up
00:16:20with 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?
00:16:27Her baby's the heir to the Mancini family?
00:16:31Looks like your wife is pregnant, too.
00:16:34Yes!
00:16:34Yes, it's true!
00:16:35I swear!
00:16:36We didn't know!
00:16:37Please, please!
00:16:38You will be dealt with
00:16:39tenfold
00:16:41what you did to Ava.
00:16:46Get a doctor!
00:16:47Get a doctor!
00:16:47Get a car!
00:16:48And deal with them!
00:16:49Get a car!
00:17:19Mom!
00:17:26Hey!
00:17:28How's Ava?
00:17:29How's the baby?
00:17:30The doctors are examining her now.
00:17:37Doctor, how is she?
00:17:38Mr. Mancini has a severe ankle fracture
00:17:41that it needs immediate surgery.
00:17:42The medication could cause a miscarriage.
00:17:46So we need to have consent
00:17:48before we can proceed.
00:17:49Do it!
00:17:50Whatever it takes!
00:17:51No!
00:17:54Doctor, is there any way
00:17:56to do the surgery without anesthesia?
00:17:58That's not medically advisable.
00:18:00The pain would be too excruciating.
00:18:02This baby is Marco's only child.
00:18:08His only heir.
00:18:09I can't risk 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
00:18:19should be with her
00:18:20during the operation.
00:18:22The pain would be just
00:18:23too intense.
00:18:25I'll stay with her.
00:18:49How'd it go, Doctor?
00:18:51It's a success.
00:18:52You're a real trooper
00:18:54if you don't mind me saying.
00:18:57I guess my brother
00:18:58had good reason to fall for her.
00:19:19Senora Ava, please.
00:19:20Let me help you.
00:19:22Let me help you.
00:19:22Let me help you.
00:19:23Let me help you.
00:19:24Let me help you.
00:19:25Let me help you.
00:19:25Okay, let me help you.
00:19:26Let me help you.
00:19:26I know your stay at the hospital
00:19:33could not have been easy for you.
00:19:35That's why I'm having 30%
00:19:38of Mancini Group shares
00:19:40put into your name.
00:19:41No.
00:19:42Mom, I cannot accept that.
00:19:45We're family.
00:19:48It's what you deserve.
00:19:49Actually, I've been thinking about
00:19:52doing something else.
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,
00:20:01I'll just transfer some into your account.
00:20:03No, no, it's not about money.
00:20:05Marco always said that
00:20:08we should make our own way.
00:20:10And I want our child
00:20:12to know his father
00:20:14and know what he valued.
00:20:18You are as stubborn as he was.
00:20:23Well, you're going to need protection.
00:20:26You'll accompany her.
00:20:27No, no, no, no, no.
00:20:31I can manage on my own.
00:20:36In the morning, 10 a.m.,
00:20:38I'll be at the entrance.
00:20:48You know that I can talk
00:20:49to your manager for you
00:20:50and make sure that they
00:20:51accommodate every need.
00:20:52No need.
00:20:53I don't want
00:20:54any special treatments.
00:20:55But, thank you for that ride.
00:21:00You know, Ava,
00:21:01you do not need
00:21:02to be afraid of me.
00:21:03I can help you
00:21:04whenever you need.
00:21:20I'm still right here.
00:21:23Why is she even back?
00:21:26That pregnant belly
00:21:27ruins the source of static.
00:21:28These pregnant women
00:21:29know exactly what they're doing.
00:21:31Hiding behind maternity protections.
00:21:34We can't legally fire her.
00:21:36Could you reassign her
00:21:37to the warehouse?
00:21:38Maybe move some stock around?
00:21:40And if something happens
00:21:41to her or the baby,
00:21:42you want that liability?
00:21:44We can't fire her,
00:21:46but we certainly can
00:21:47make her life difficult enough
00:21:49that she decides
00:21:50to quit on her own.
00:21:53And that concludes
00:22:12our quarterly revenue projections.
00:22:13Sir, forgive my directness,
00:22:19but are we here
00:22:21because you're concerned
00:22:22about your sister-in-law?
00:22:28Should I have the car
00:22:29brought around
00:22:30for your next meeting?
00:22:32Cancel the meeting?
00:22:33I've been meaning to talk to you.
00:22:39Given your, um, condition,
00:22:42I've been worried about
00:22:43potential liability issues.
00:22:45My pregnancy will not
00:22:46affect my performance.
00:22:48I do not intend to take advantage
00:22:50of company policy.
00:22:51Oh, glad to hear that.
00:22:54Then you won't mind
00:22:55proving your commitment,
00:22:57sell one million dollars
00:22:58worth of merchandise
00:22:59by today
00:23:00and I'll put all
00:23:01of my concerns to rest.
00:23:03I've seen your sales record.
00:23:05I know you can do it.
00:23:06toda the
00:23:09World of
00:23:25Sir, half an hour until closing and Mrs. Mancini has already surpassed the store's average
00:23:52monthly sales in a single day, but she's still a great deal short of the manager's impossible
00:23:58target.
00:24:02She did make it clear that she doesn't want any special treatment, but I have been neglecting
00:24:07my own wardrobe, and the Rossi family event will require several new suits.
00:24:12Now that you mention it, sir, your formal collection is missing quite a few essential items.
00:24:16And I should do some personal shopping, shouldn't I?
00:24:23Sir, may I assist you?
00:24:26Sir, this limited edition silk tie would go perfect with your complexion.
00:24:30Sir, I'd be happy to take your measurements, personally.
00:24:33Sir, as store manager, I would be honored to assist you with your needs myself.
00:24:39I'd actually like Ms. Jackson to assist me.
00:24:43I hear her taste in men's fashion is exceptional.
00:24:50Shall we begin?
00:24:51Right this way, sir.
00:24:58Alright, I just need to take your measurements.
00:25:01Whoa, what are you doing?
00:25:04Can you measure me like this?
00:25:07I just needed you to take the jacket off.
00:25:09Well, we don't have much time.
00:25:25Now, measure me like this.
00:25:27Okay.
00:25:28Mm-hmm.
00:25:29Okay.
00:25:30Mm-hmm.
00:25:31Okay.
00:25:32Mm-hmm.
00:25:33Ava, time is almost up.
00:25:56I did it!
00:26:02I saved my job, and I made a new sales record.
00:26:07It's no reason to thank me.
00:26:09I'm here to help.
00:26:11Whenever you need it.
00:26:13I did it. I saved my job, and I made a new sales record. Thank you.
00:26:21It's no reason to thank me. I'm here to help. Whenever you need it.
00:26:26I hate to do this, but Ava Jackson, you're fired.
00:26:33What? No. I met your target and then some.
00:26:39Oh, that last sale? The one that put you over the top? That was actually mine.
00:26:45You're trying to steal my commission? Well, that won't work because everyone in this store saw me make that sale.
00:26:56I get it. You threatened them into silence. Well, that won't work either, because the security cameras caught everything.
00:27:04Security cameras?
00:27:09What horrible timing. Unfortunately, the security cameras are down for maintenance today.
00:27:19But fortunately, everyone here saw you destroy thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
00:27:25You all saw Ava, didn't you?
00:27:28Yeah, we all saw it.
00:27:30What?
00:27:31So someone should call security.
00:27:33Better yet, call the police.
00:27:43I'm sorry sir, but we're closed for the day.
00:27:45I heard that this store got trashed.
00:27:47I'm going to have to ask you to leave or I'm going to have to call the police.
00:27:50The police work for me.
00:27:52Are you? Luca Mancini?
00:27:55Well...
00:28:02What's going on?
00:28:03Thanks, Mike can help!
00:28:04Who says a passenger?
00:28:05I see.
00:28:06Blue.
00:28:07The police!
00:28:08It's moving north!
00:28:09The police!
00:28:10Andrew Bull Spendering.
00:28:11The police!
00:28:12The police!
00:28:13The police!
00:28:14It's 1.
00:28:15The police!
00:28:46Please stop. I admit it. I was wrong.
00:28:52Who really damaged the merchandise in this store?
00:28:54The items they you destroyed are worth over several millions of dollars.
00:28:58That's five years in prison.
00:29:03Luca, what happened?
00:29:04There's nothing we're talking about. We need to go.
00:29:06And by the way, you're fired.
00:29:09Let's go. I'm on this game.
00:29:10How 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.
00:29:32Mandy will be serving time in a jail cell.
00:29:34Justice is served.
00:29:36That's my boy.
00:29:41Sweetheart, I would like you to concentrate full-time on your pregnancy right now.
00:29:46All of this work drama can wait until after my grandchild is born safely.
00:29:51Yes, ma'am.
00:29:52I transferred $5 million 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.
00:30:11I have those meetings in Europe, so possibly I could have some more substituting.
00:30:16Yeah, and I'm perfectly capable of going by myself.
00:30:19I 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, ma'am.
00:30:49Ava Jackson, we're ready for you now.
00:30:52Dad should come too.
00:30:54We encourage partner participation.
00:30:55Oh, no, he's not.
00:31:02Would 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.
00:31:10Coming.
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.
00:31:41Current 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.
00:31:51The little one's making faces.
00:31:54Quite the expressive child already.
00:32:01Dad, 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.
00:32:32Doctor, is that really appropriate?
00:32:37What's inappropriate about it?
00:32:39This is what husbands do.
00:32:44Okay.
00:32:57I'm sorry, did I hurt you?
00:32:59No, no.
00:33:00It just feels strange.
00:33:02Like this.
00:33:05Mm-hmm.
00:33:05Top to bottom, left to right.
00:33:08Gentle strokes.
00:33:13Got it?
00:33:14Got it.
00:33:16Do this once daily, five to ten minutes each.
00:33:21You can sit up now.
00:33:23So, everything good with the baby?
00:33:32Any special instructions I should know about?
00:33:36Nothing.
00:33:36Nothing, no.
00:33:38The doctor did say that the baby is developing beautifully, and there's nothing to worry about.
00:33:43Good news, then.
00:33:43Good news, then.
00:33:44Good news, then.
00:33:47Before I forget, the Rossi family's daughter is having her birthday celebration next weekend, and we should all attend.
00:33:55The Rossi family?
00:33:57Technically, they're our business rivals, but social niceties must be maintained.
00:34:05And 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.
00:34:20Should we send Ava upstairs?
00:34:21No, no, it's fine.
00:34:22I'm here.
00:34:23We can just...
00:34:24Good evening, Mrs. Mancini.
00:34:29Luca, I came to personally deliver my birthday invitation.
00:34:32Okay.
00:34:36Luca, who is this woman?
00:34:39Luca, who is this woman?
00:34:41Hey, hey, hey.
00:34:41Rossi's family lack of manners ever disappoints me.
00:34:45Luca Mancini, how dare you speak to me like that?
00:34:48Miss Rossi, I've heard so much about your family.
00:34:53I'm Ava, Marco's wife.
00:34:57Marco was Luca's brother.
00:35:01Oh, okay.
00:35:03I thought you were carrying Luca's baby.
00:35:06That's good, because we're nice.
00:35:08I came all this way to bring you that, and this is how you welcome me?
00:35:12Don't disappoint me at the party, darling.
00:35:14Wear something sharp.
00:35:17Yes.
00:35:23See if there's any connection between that pregnant woman and Luca.
00:35:31I'm not buying this whole sister-in-law act for one second.
00:35:34You got it.
00:35:40You look so handsome.
00:35:41Well, 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?
00:35:58I've never been anywhere this fancy before.
00:36:03I might embarrass you guys.
00:36:05Oh, don'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?
00:36:19What about her shoes?
00:36:21How could you forget something so basic?
00:36:23What about her shoes?
00:36:57No 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.
00:37:21He must be his mistress.
00:37:23Oh, sure.
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!
00:37:44Maybe we shouldn't cross a scene here.
00:37:47It's mine.
00:37:48She's almost like this.
00:37:51We 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?
00:38:02Look, she used to deliver food for a living.
00:38:06Waitress, retail clerk, cleaning lady?
00:38:09What could someone with her background possibly perform for this crowd?
00:38:23Ava, how does this piece go again?
00:38:25I'm completely lost here.
00:38:28I've forgotten everything that you've told me.
00:38:30There'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.
00:39:07Well, maybe you should teach me sometime.
00:39:10Properly.
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.
00:39:23Okay.
00:39:23Okay.
00:39:33One, two, and there.
00:39:40Avan, two, and there.
00:39:59Avan, one, two, and there.
00:40:01They'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 else.
00:40:23Yeah, I always enjoy these type of events.
00:40:25Me too.
00:40:26That's how it's good.
00:40:28From Miss Russell.
00:40:29Your accompaniments.
00:40:31Cheers.
00:40:35Sir, that 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?
00:41:42I'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.
00:42:11This isn't exactly how you wanted it.
00:42:15Not at all.
00:42:16This isn't convincing.
00:42:17Unbutton their clothes.
00:42:25Sal, position them closer together.
00:42:27Make it look more intimate.
00:42:28Perfect.
00:42:29Perfect.
00:42:30Let's go.
00:42:31Our masterpiece is complete.
00:42:33Now we just have to bring in an audience.
00:42:35I expected much more than just this juvenile prank from my business partner.
00:42:52Ava, wake up.
00:43:05Ava.
00:43:06Ava.
00:43:07Ava.
00:43:08Ava.
00:43:09Ava.
00:43:10Ava.
00:43:11Ava.
00:43:12Ava.
00:43:13Ava.
00:43:14Ava.
00:43:15Ava.
00:43:17Ava.
00:43:18Ava.
00:43:20Ava.
00:43:21Oh my god.
00:43:22What happened to us?
00:43:26This is bad.
00:43:41If anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:43:48Luca, wake up!
00:43:54Okay, I'm out.
00:43:58Oh!
00:44:00Jesus.
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.
00:44:18So, Mancini name is what you're concerned about, is that it?
00:44:22Hey, hey, hey.
00:44:24You haven't answered me.
00:44:28Thank you all so much for coming today to celebrate me.
00:44:32But 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.
00:45:02Let's get here.
00:45:04Wait.
00:45:05Here, I got this one.
00:45:07Watch out.
00:45:08Wait.
00:45:09Stop.
00:45:10Watch.
00:45:11They're right there.
00:45:12If we walk through that door, we'll walk right into their trap.
00:45:13Okay.
00:45:14Then what's your brilliant idea?
00:45:15Yes, ma'am?
00:45:16Um, 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.
00:45:22I'm afraid of heights.
00:45:23You're what?
00:45:24I'm sorry.
00:45:25I just didn't realize the great Luca Mancini have fears like the rest of us.
00:45:31Yeah.
00:45:32You know, that's one of my fears, and I don't advertise it, so...
00:45:35Deal with it.
00:45:36What?
00:45:37What the hell's do?
00:45:38Let's go see.
00:45:39Where are these cheaters you promised to expose?
00:45:42Keep it down, you idiot.
00:45:44You don't want to wake them.
00:45:46I mean, we don't want to alert them to give them a chance to escape.
00:45:50Let's go.
00:45:51Let's go.
00:45:52Okay.
00:45:53Hurry, hurry.
00:45:54No, no, no.
00:45:55Don't run.
00:45:56We 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?
00:46:00Better get out of here.
00:46:01No, no, no.
00:46:02I'll help everyone leave afterwards.
00:46:03But first, let's get a look at them.
00:46:04Come on.
00:46:05Come on.

00:55:14thank you
00:55:40I wonder if he's doing well out there.
00:56:05Hello?
00:56:06Ava?
00:56:06I'm outside at the gate.
00:56:09Security won't let me in.
00:56:11Mom, what are you doing here?
00:56:17I missed you terribly, sweetheart.
00:56:19I just wanted to check on you and the baby.
00:56:26Look, fresh oranges.
00:56:29Just pick today.
00:56:30You need the vitamin C for the baby's development.
00:56:33I'm on a very carefully monitored diet.
00:56:36You wasted a trip.
00:56:37Look, I know that you haven't forgiven me, but you have to understand.
00:56:46Derek and Sarah, I 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.
00:56:58Of course.
00:57:00I picked these up for my grandchild.
00:57:03Aren't they precious?
00:57:04That baby that you're carrying is my family, too.
00:57:11I love them so much already.
00:57:13Look, I stood up for you to Derek, and he threw me out.
00:57:17I had absolutely nothing left.
00:57:28This card contains all the money I've saved.
00:57:32It's yours.
00:57:34But you have to promise me that you'll use it for yourself.
00:57:36Not a penny goes to Derek.
00:57:38Okay.
00:57:39I swear it.
00:57:41Not a cent to him.
00:57:42How much money are we talking about?
00:57:44$10,000.
00:57:47$10,000?
00:57:49That's it.
00:57:51You're carrying the Mancini heir, and all they've given you is $10,000.
00:57:56That is my personal savings.
00:57:58I haven't asked the Mancini's for a cent.
00:58:00Okay, this is completely unacceptable.
00:58:05Everyone in this city knows that the Mancini's are loaded beyond belief.
00:58:10Come on.
00:58:11You need to milk this situation for all it's worth.
00:58:19Honey, I'm...
00:58:21I'm only thinking about your future and your security.
00:58:26I mean, what happens if they throw you out once the baby arrives?
00:58:31I didn't marry into the Mancini family for their fortune.
00:58:35And you mention their money one more time, you'll never see me again.
00:58:40Understand?
00:58:41I understand, sweetheart.
00:58:43Mom won't say another word about it.
00:58:50$10,000?
00:58:52That's it?
00:58:53That's pocket change for them!
00:58:54She must be holding down on this.
00:58:58That ungrateful little brat!
00:59:01I tried everything!
00:59:03I couldn't squeeze another penny out of her.
00:59:05She's swimming in Mancini money, and we're here struggling.
00:59:09After what they did to my leg, I should be getting millions!
00:59:12Yes, a few million?
00:59:14It's just the beginning.
00:59:16We've been thinking too small.
00:59:17I have good reason to believe that we have a common enemy.
00:59:32I think we should work together.
00:59:33Miss Mancini has been sleeping well, sir.
00:59:36She got the prenatal vitamins you sent her, and they effectively reduced her morning sickness.
00:59:46And this morning, she ate half a slice of French toast, a half portion of scrambled eggs, two cherry tomatoes, and a glass of milk.
00:59:54And after some gentle persuasion from your mother, she also had a piece of steak for the iron content.
01:00:01That's good to hear that she's eating healthy.
01:00:03And then she finally attended the prenatal concert we arranged, and afterward she spoke with one of the pianists about the compositions.
01:00:11Is it man or woman?
01:00:12Sir, per your instructions, they were all talented women. No exceptions.
01:00:17And she actually mentioned you today.
01:00:19While making hot chocolate, she said to the chef,
01:00:22It's never quite as good as Luca's.
01:00:25She always knows what to say.
01:00:28I'll make her a batch right now, and we can have it delivered.
01:00:31Great. I'll arrange a private courier right away.
01:00:35Luca is almost finished with his business.
01:00:42Hopefully, he will make it home in time for the birth.
01:00:47Mrs. Mancini, terrible news.
01:00:49Luca's jet has been destroyed in mid-flight heat.
01:00:51He's missing.
01:00:53What?
01:00:54I want every detail immediately.
01:00:56Yes, ma'am.
01:00:58Ava, breathe.
01:01:00Breathe.
01:01:00Don't panic.
01:01:01Don't panic.
01:01:02Luca has always been lucky.
01:01:04He's going to be fine.
01:01:05He will.
01:01:11Hello?
01:01:12I have Luca Mancini.
01:01:13Twenty million dollars cash for his safe return.
01:01:16No police, no family, no security team.
01:01:20You come alone, or he dies.
01:01:23You have 24 hours.
01:01:27Who?
01:01:29Oh, Ava, are you okay?
01:01:31Who was that?
01:01:32It's nothing, nothing.
01:01:34I'm just dizzy.
01:01:35The baby.
01:01:36The baby.
01:01:38So, I'm going to go upstairs and lie down.
01:01:40Money first.
01:02:10Ow!
01:02:17You okay?
01:02:19Derek?
01:02:20Where's Luca?
01:02:21Where's Luca?
01:02:23Don't worry though, Luca.
01:02:25Worry about yourself.
01:02:40Yeah, with her as our bargaining chip,
01:02:45we can demand a hundred million dollars
01:02:48from the Manchins.
01:02:50Easy.
01:02:52Mom.
01:02:53Mom, why are you doing this?
01:02:55Poor family.
01:02:56Why have you always treated me so terribly?
01:03:03Family?
01:03:04You are so pathetic.
01:03:07You just don't get it, do you?
01:03:10You're just some brat that Mom found on the street
01:03:12that she brought home to be our living servant.
01:03:15What are you talking about?
01:03:16You're an orphan!
01:03:18Not even your birth mother wanted you.
01:03:22Yeah, we brought you in.
01:03:24We fed you.
01:03:25We clothed you.
01:03:27And in return, your life belongs to us.
01:03:31Oh, and by the way,
01:03:34since we're being honest with each other right now,
01:03:36my whole leg injury,
01:03:38it's kind of my fault.
01:03:40But it was a great excuse
01:03:42to get you to basically give up your life
01:03:44and be our slave all these years.
01:03:51You know what?
01:03:54Even though you're nothing but a bunch of orphan trash,
01:03:58you're actually very beautiful.
01:04:00So since we're giving up this whole brother-sister role-play thing,
01:04:06I don't want to do something that I've wanted to do
01:04:12for a very, very long time.
01:04:16Stop, Derek! You're sick!
01:04:18Now let's just keep that pretty little mouth of yours quiet, shall we?
01:04:32You fucking bitch!
01:04:34You're alive! You're okay!
01:04:56Okay, you're alive! You're okay!
01:04:58Stop! Stop! Stop!
01:05:06My 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!
01:05:17Hey, make them stop!
01:05:19He's your brother!
01:05:21Don't kill him!
01:05:22You just told me I'm an orphan!
01:05:24So he's not really my little brother!
01:05:26You better tell me who your accomplices are,
01:05:28or he stops breathing!
01:05:30You two should be ashamed of yourselves!
01:05:32Yeah, I see the way that you look at each other!
01:05:34He's your dead husband's brother!
01:05:38You're a betrayer, Marco, and his mother!
01:05:43Are you alright?
01:05:44Hey, hey, hey! You okay?
01:05:45Yeah, yeah.
01:05:47Your mom has been so kind to me,
01:05:50and I dragged her into this mess!
01:05:52It's on my floor!
01:05:54Your mother-in-law took you in!
01:05:56She treated you like a daughter!
01:05:58She gave you everything that you could ever want,
01:06:00and this is how you repay her?
01:06:02By falling for her younger son?
01:06:04Have you already forgotten, Marco?
01:06:06It is his grave!
01:06:08What is wrong with you?
01:06:10I want her as my daughter-in-law!
01:06:14First my eldest son's wife,
01:06:18and now my youngest!
01:06:20Objective then,
01:06:22and you'll lose your tongue!
01:06:24You couldn't have Luca,
01:06:38so you decided to try and kill him?
01:06:42Good thing he changed his plight plan at the last minute, hmm?
01:06:46Cross the Mancinis,
01:06:48and you'll cease to exist!
01:06:50Release 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?
01:07:04Your family's power...
01:07:06already gone.
01:07:09You two have risked everything to be together.
01:07:25I can see that Luca's devotion is absolute.
01:07:31You have endured far too much pain.
01:07:36It's time to let him take care of you.
01:07:39But...
01:07:41Marco...
01:07:42I made a promise to him.
01:07:44And Marco...
01:07:46would want your happiness...
01:07:49above all else.
01:07:51He will rest easier...
01:07:54knowing that we are protecting you...
01:07:57and your child.
01:08:02From this moment forward,
01:08:04I swear to you, nobody will ever hurt you again.
01:08:11Luca...
01:08:12you're bleeding.
01:08:16You gotta keep this clean.
01:08:17Yeah.
01:08:18Infections can get nasty.
01:08:22Okay.
01:08:24So you're saying that you care about me then?
01:08:26Shut up!
01:08:28Of course I care!
01:08:30I'm sorry...
01:08:34Alright.
01:08:35Wait...
01:08:36Okay.
01:08:37I think he likes you.
01:09:03Yeah.
01:09:07Ava, I will take care of you and the baby, just like my brother would have.
01:09:16I brought some fruit for you and the- Luca, she's pregnant, be gentle with her.
01:09:28I think maybe you should get some less.
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.
01:09:43What 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, I mean, not completely.
01:10:02I warned you to be careful with her.
01:10:04I'm sorry.
01:10:05What can we do now?
01:10:06The medication isn't working as we'd hoped.
01:10:08There's another approach we could try.
01:10:11Yes, yes, we'll do anything.
01:10:12Money's no object.
01:10:13Just help her.
01:10:14Some intimate touches can help her relax and feel better.
01:10:25Right here.
01:10:26Right here.
01:10:27Yes.
01:10:28Mom, I can't just whip it out.
01:10:35Don't do it.
01:10:36Hurry it up.
01:10:38Hurry it up.
01:11:08I 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?
01:11:27Doctor, please!
01:11:28Doctor, please!
01:11:29One, two, three, push!
01:11:44Push!
01:11:46Push!
01:11:59Hey, how are you feeling?
01:12:05Good.
01:12:06You want something to eat?
01:12:07Okay.
01:12:08Okay.
01:12:13I thought this hospital was the best that money can buy.
01:12:16I guess I was misinformed.
01:12:19Look, they're doing the best they can.
01:12:22That's not terrorizing the stuff.
01:12:25Look, I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:31You want to tear me apart?
01:12:40Luca, remember to control yourself, son.
01:12:46Let her recover first.
01:12:48And have you decided what to name this little prince?
01:13:02Marco.
01:13:05Marco.
01:13:06I want to name him Marco.
01:13:07Look, little one.
01:13:31It's your daddy.
01:13:33It's your 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'd handle everything.
01:13:52And I promise to protect mom.
01:13:55The business.
01:13:57And 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.
01:14:15I hear you on the radio.
01:14:20On the radio.
01:14:25Mrs.
01:14:38Mrs.
01:14:44Mancini's wedding gifts, the finest villas, the Mancini family jewelry, and finally, 30%
01:14:52ownership of Mancini group holdings, effective immediately.
01:15:02This ring has been in the Mancini family for seven generations, passed from mother to daughter-in-law.
01:15:14Thank you, woman.
01:15:21A perfect fit.
01:15:35Now, I need the two of you to focus on your top priority.
01:15:41Um, top priority?
01:15:43Giving me a granddaughter to play with little Marco Jr.
01:15:50Mom, we're at a church, and there are witnesses.
01:15:54.
01:15:57.
