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.
00:00:31If 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 hurt you again.
00:00:49I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:00:56Ava, you're so close. Is this a dream?
00:01:02If anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:01:07Ava, I have fallen in love with you.
00:01:10I'm your brother's wife.
00:01:12We didn't do anything wrong, so why are you worried?
00:01:14If you knew I had feelings for your brother, would you hate me?
00:01:18I should never have let you go undercover on that damn business deal.
00:01:36I never even got to say goodbye.
00:01:38Marco, my brother, I will protect your legacy.
00:01:42And I will protect our family.
00:01:50Hey, hey! Who 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 for you.
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.
00:02:24Master Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson.
00:02:27And she was carrying his child.
00:02:31Get the car.
00:02:32I will 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?
00:03:45There'll never be enough, Ava.
00:03:46You'll owe us till the day you die.
00:03:50Please.
00:03:52Sweetheart.
00:03:53Think of your brother.
00:03:54I'm gonna stomp out that little bastard right now.
00:03:56Send him straight to hell.
00:03:57So he can say hello to his deadbeat dad.
00:04:01Hey!
00:04:02Hey!
00:04:03Hey!
00:04:04Hey!
00:04:05Hey!
00:04:06Hey!
00:04:07Hey!
00:04:08Hey!
00:04:23What?
00:04:24What the hell is going on here, who the hell are you people?
00:04:27What the hell is going on here?
00:04:28Who the hell are you people?
00:04:31Ava, right?
00:04:32You were here this morning.
00:04:35Enough, Luca.
00:04:36She's hardly up there.
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.
00:04:55Oh, what?
00:04:57Marco was my oldest.
00:04:59He was my golden boy.
00:05:01I am so sorry that he concealed his identity from you.
00:05:05You have endured far too much suffering because of it.
00:05:12Plain make-believe Mancini?
00:05:15Seriously, like, is anybody here actually buying this?
00:05:18Question my identity again,
00:05:20and my men will make sure your other leg looks like your first one.
00:05:25Permanently.
00:05:26What are you doing?
00:05:28Derek, run!
00:05:30Maybe we should just go.
00:05:32One moment, dear.
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.
00:05:45Come along, dear.
00:05:48Come along, my dear.
00:05:49Let's get you home.
00:05:51You're a real home.
00:05:55No.
00:05:55Come on.
00:05:56Welcome home, signora Eva Mancini.
00:06:04This is where Marco lived.
00:06:19And now, it's your hand, too.
00:06:30Allow me to introduce you to your personal staff, Mrs. Mancini.
00:06:33Your nutritionist, nanny, maternity nurse.
00:06:36Each the finest specialist money can acquire.
00:06:38We pledge your absolute dedication to your health and well-being, signora.
00:06:41Your days of working multiple jobs are over, my dear.
00:06:49Ten million dollars is a little spending money.
00:06:52Well, thank you, but I can't accept this.
00:06:56I married Marco for love, not for his fortune.
00:07:02Practical and principled, my Marco truly had an eye for quality.
00:07:07There 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.
00:07:21Is it a flower girl in the cemetery?
00:07:24Luca, come meet Eva.
00:07:26Your brother's wife.
00:07:27Please, show her proper...
00:07:29Respect!
00:07:34You walk back into a Mancini household?
00:07:38You're either incredibly stupid or incredibly brave.
00:07:43Luca, open this door immediately!
00:07:48Everyone, around back, now!
00:07:53Who are you, really?
00:07:56I'll be watching your every move, your every breath.
00:08:01So tell me, who are you, really?
00:08:06My brother's dead, and you appear suddenly?
00:08:09Was this your endgame all along?
00:08:11Our fortune?
00:08:12I didn't know Marco's a Mancini.
00:08:14And 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!
00:08:20And get your hands off of her!
00:08:26She 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?
00:08:34Question the line you want, but don't you dare question my child.
00:08:42That's my girl.
00:08:43Backbone of steel.
00:08:46Are you hurt?
00:08:48Luca, you are too rude.
00:08:50Ava is a good girl.
00:08:52You are falsely accusing her.
00:08:54Come on, sweetie.
00:08:55Mom's going to take you and get some clothes.
00:08:57Pay no attention to this fool.
00:08:59You may be fooling them, but I will 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.
00:09:33It's all on Luca's card.
00:09:35Treat my dear daughter-in-law well.
00:09:37Trying to be open and honest.
00:09:45This weight on my chest, I don't want it.
00:09:51I'd hate to be breaking, I promise.
00:10:10Cause I owe you the truth that I...
00:10:12Oh, isn't she gorgeous?
00:10:16She's...
00:10:17She's...
00:10:20Adequate?
00:10:24Always the tough guy act with you.
00:10:26Your eyes tell a different story, my son.
00:10:30Oh, yes.
00:10:31This is just perfect.
00:10:33We will take one of everything in her size.
00:10:36Mom.
00:10:38Mom.
00:10:41That's too generous.
00:10:43Nonsense.
00:10:44We're family now.
00:10:47I am putting Luca's contact info into your phone.
00:10:51Reach out to him.
00:10:52Whatever you need.
00:10:54And don't worry.
00:10:55He's actually quite a softie.
00:10:59Now, shall we continue shopping?
00:11:01Yes.
00:11:05Sir.
00:11:06Yes.
00:11:07Your mother has spent approximately $15 million on Miss Jackson in the last week alone.
00:11:13God.
00:11:14In mere days, she has swooned our 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.
00:11:26I want everything on her.
00:11:30Everything!
00:11:31If she is playing us for fools, then I will personally ensure that she regrets ever hearing the name Manchino.
00:11:45I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:11:47I hate to put extra stress on your shoulders, but we need to discuss the incredible cost of your husband's care
00:11:54and how the bill will be paid.
00:11:57Limited edition is perfect for you.
00:12:04Marco, you just focus on getting better, okay?
00:12:08Don't worry about the bills.
00:12:10I've got it covered.
00:12:11Your brother married Miss Jackson under false pretenses.
00:12:22She worked several jobs to make that money.
00:12:25And when your brother got sick, she worked to pay off his medical bills.
00:12:29And then day and night for his funeral.
00:12:31Did I get her all wrong?
00:12:33Mother is unwell.
00:12:47You need to return home immediately.
00:12:52What's wrong with mom?
00:12:53Is she hurt?
00:12:58Mom?
00:13:00What's going on?
00:13:01Ava, please don't be angry.
00:13:09We just had to get you here.
00:13:16What are you doing?
00:13:17Since you won't help us financially, we had to find another solution.
00:13:21Victor Fang.
00:13:23That old loan shark's willing to give us $80,000 just to marry you.
00:13:27Are you insane?
00:13:34I'm pregnant.
00:13:36Your husband's dead, Ava.
00:13:37Why keep his baby?
00:13:39Think about your family.
00:13:40Mr. Fang is waiting.
00:13:42Don't make this harder than it needs to be.
00:13:45You are not selling me off to Victor Fang!
00:13:48If she dies, how will you provide for this child?
00:13:53She's calling someone!
00:14:05Hello?
00:14:06Help!
00:14:12Ava'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.
00:14:46This is Ava, my sister, who we discussed.
00:14:49Ooh, two for the price of one, I see.
00:14:52Oh, it's just some dead guy's kid.
00:14:54If you want, I can take care of it right now.
00:14:56We could offer you a discount, and I think $60,000 is more than fair.
00:15:00Pennies for somebody of your wealth.
00:15:02Derek, you're sick!
00:15:03I'm your sister, this is your nephew.
00:15:05My son's future is more important to me than that stupid little bastard of yours!
00:15:10Hey, hey, no need to be so rough with such a beautiful lady.
00:15:16Now, dear, just take this right here, and it'll make things easier for everybody.
00:15:21Oh, okay, you're a little feisty, I see.
00:15:28Maybe you just need a little personal attention.
00:15:31Come on.
00:15:34Ah!
00:15:51Get out of my way!
00:15:57I always knew Ava was trouble.
00:15:59Her husband's barely cold, and she already has been out of here.
00:16:03Who the hell do you think you are?
00:16:04Ah!
00:16:07I'm looking at Mancini.
00:16:09Mancini, you idiot.
00:16:12You killed me!
00:16:13How did my sister get caught up with the likes of you?
00:16:15Ava is my brother's widow, and her baby is his only child.
00:16:20So, it's true?
00:16:22Her baby's the heir to the Mancini family?
00:16:25Looks like your wife is pregnant, too.
00:16:28Yes, yes, yes, it's true.
00:16:30I swear, we didn't know.
00:16:31Please, please.
00:16:32You will be dealt with,
00:16:34and for what you did to Ava.
00:16:40Get a doctor!
00:16:41Get a doctor!
00:16:41Get a car, and deal with him.
00:16:50Ava is done.
00:16:54Oh
00:17:19Mom
00:17:22How's Ava? How's the baby? The doctors are examining her now
00:17:31Doctor how is she? Mr. Mancini has a severe ankle fracture that it needs immediate surgery the medication could cause a miscarriage
00:17:40So we need to have consent before we can proceed do it whatever it takes
00:17:45No!
00:17:49Doctor is there any way to do the surgery without anesthesia that's not medically advisable the pain would be too excruciating
00:17:56This baby is Marco's only child his only heir. I can't risk losing it
00:18:06I can handle the pain. Oh my brave girl
00:18:10God bless you
00:18:12You know, I think somebody should be with her during the operation
00:18:15The pain would be just too intense. I'll stay with her
00:18:20How'd it go doctor? It's a success
00:18:20You're a real trooper if you don't mind me saying it
00:18:24I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her
00:18:28How'd it go doctor? It's a success
00:18:46You're a real trooper if you don't mind me saying it
00:18:49I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her
00:18:53Hi
00:19:13Señora Ava, please let me help you
00:19:19Ok
00:19:20Right this way, alright
00:19:23I know your stay at the hospital could not have been easy for you.
00:19:30That's why I'm having 30% of Mancini Group shares put into your name.
00:19:36No.
00:19:36Mom, I cannot accept that.
00:19:40We're family.
00:19:42It's what you deserve.
00:19:43Actually, I've been thinking about doing something else.
00:19:48I'd like to go back to work.
00:19:51Work?
00:19:52But, but, you're pregnant.
00:19:55Oh, honey, if you need money, I'll just transfer some into your account.
00:19:57No, no, it's not about money.
00:20:00Marco always said that we should make our own way.
00:20:05And I want our child to know his father and know what he valued.
00:20:12You are as stubborn as he was.
00:20:17Look, you're going to need protection.
00:20:20You'll accompany her.
00:20:22No, no, no, no, no.
00:20:25I can manage on my own.
00:20:30In the morning, 10 a.m., I'll be at the entrance.
00:20:33You know that I can talk to your manager for you.
00:20:45Make sure that they accommodate every need.
00:20:47No need.
00:20:47I don't want any special treatments.
00:20:50But thank you for that ride.
00:20:54You know, Ava, you do not need to be afraid of me.
00:20:57I can help you whenever you need.
00:21:00Why is she even back?
00:21:20Your pregnant belly ruins a sore's aesthetic.
00:21:23These pregnant women know exactly what they're doing.
00:21:25Hiding behind maternity protections.
00:21:28We can't legally fire her.
00:21:30Could you reassign her to the warehouse?
00:21:32Maybe move some stock around?
00:21:34And if something happens to her or the baby, you want that liability?
00:21:39We can't fire her, but we certainly can make her life difficult enough that she decides to quit on her own.
00:21:45And that concludes our quarterly revenue projections.
00:22:07Sir, forgive my directness, but are we here because you're concerned about your sister-in-law?
00:22:22Should I have the car brought around for your next meeting?
00:22:26Cancel the meeting?
00:22:31I've been meaning to talk to you.
00:22:33Given your, um, condition.
00:22:35I've been worried about potential liability issues.
00:22:39My pregnancy will not affect my performance.
00:22:42I do not intend to take advantage of company policy.
00:22:45Oh, I'd like to hear that.
00:22:48Then you won't mind proving your commitment.
00:22:51Sell one million dollars worth of merchandise by today.
00:22:55And I'll put all of my concerns to rest.
00:22:57I've seen your sales record.
00:22:59I know you can do it.
00:23:01I know you can do it.
00:23:06I will notды.
00:23:12I know you can do it.
00:23:14I know you can do it.
00:23:14I know you should've taken it.
00:23:15Take a look.
00:23:16I know you can do it.
00:23:17I know you can do it.
00:23:18Be everything.
00:23:19Come on.
00:23:20Magdalene trip.
00:23:21All-ive to them.
00:23:22Come on.
00:23:23I know you can do it then.
00:23:25SON, mom.
00:23:26I have one day.
00:23:27Sir, 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 that
00:24:06you mention it, sir, your formal collection is missing quite a few essential items. And
00:24:12I should do some personal shopping, shouldn't I?
00:24:14Sir, 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.
00:24:28Sir, as store manager, I would be honored to assist you with your needs myself.
00:24:34I'd actually like Miss Jackson to assist me. I hear her taste in men's fashion is exceptional.
00:24:44So, shall we begin? Right this way, sir.
00:24:54Alright, I just need to take your measurements. Whoa, what are you doing?
00:24:59Your measurements up? I just needed you to take the jacket off.
00:25:04Well, we don't have much time.
00:25:07No.
00:25:19No.
00:25:21Imagine me like this.
00:25:22Okay.
00:25:24Mm-hmm.
00:25:28Ava, time is almost up.
00:25:51I 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.
00:26:34Oh. That last sale? The one that put you over the top? That was actually mine.
00:26:39You're trying to steal my commission? Well, that won't work because everyone in this store saw me make that sale.
00:26:46I get it. You threatened them into silence. Well, that won't work either. Because the security cameras caught everything.
00:26:58Security cameras.
00:27:01What horrible timing. Unfortunately, the security cameras are down for maintenance today.
00:27:13But fortunately, everyone here saw you destroy thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
00:27:20You all saw Ava, didn't you?
00:27:23Yeah, we all saw it.
00:27:25So someone should call security.
00:27:28Better yet, call the police.
00:27:38I'm sorry, sir, but we're closed for the day.
00:27:40I heard that this store got trashed.
00:27:42I'm going to have to ask you to leave, or I'm going to have to call the police.
00:27:45The police work for me.
00:27:47Are you? Luca Mancini?
00:27:50I'm sorry, sort of.
00:27:51The police work for me.
00:27:53It's two through the window.
00:27:54I'm just as alright.
00:27:55Absolutely.
00:27:56You can be sure there is all yours.
00:27:57The police is alright because they're on the road to visit us.
00:27:59I'm not gonna have to go, never forget I'll watch the police Pier sination of the time.
00:28:02What kind of communication with見てías around that friend I am seeing?
00:28:03Unless I know you can make a stranger or look.
00:28:05My friend said you're in the fire alone again.
00:28:06I said you need to kill me.
00:28:11Oh, yeah, that's a fun way.
00:28:42Please, stop. I admit it. I was wrong.
00:28:46Who really damaged the merchandise in this story?
00:28:49The items that you destroyed are worth over several millions of dollars at five years in prison.
00:28:57Lugo, what happened?
00:28:59There's nothing worth talking about. We need to go.
00:29:01And by the way, you're fired.
00:29:03Let's go.
00:29:04Come on, cut this door.
00:29:05How dare that woman mess with my family?
00:29:15I will make sure, personally, that she suffers for it.
00:29:19You don't have to worry about that anymore.
00:29:21It's all taken care of, thanks to Lugo.
00:29:24This door looked like a tornado hit it.
00:29:26Mandy will be serving time in a jail cell.
00:29:29Justice is served.
00:29:30That's my boy.
00:29:35Sweetheart, I would like you to concentrate full-time on your pregnancy right now.
00:29:40All of this work drama can wait until after my grandchild is born safely.
00:29:45Yes, Mommy.
00:29:46I transferred $5 million into your personal account for prenatal care.
00:29:52I am worried about the baby's well-being.
00:29:56Lugo, I'd like you to take her to the doctor tomorrow for an exam.
00:30:00No, that's really not necessary.
00:30:06I have those meetings in Europe, so possibly I could have some nice substituting.
00:30:10Yeah, and I'm perfectly capable of going by myself.
00:30:14I don't want to trouble Lugo with something so routine.
00:30:18It's decided.
00:30:22Cancel whatever meetings you have.
00:30:24I want you to take her.
00:30:26I will not stand for any more incidents.
00:30:29Yes, Mother.
00:30:44Ava Jackson, we're ready for you now.
00:30:47Dad should come too.
00:30:48We encourage partner participation.
00:30:51Oh, no, he's not.
00:30:56Would you prefer that I explain that I'm your dead husband's brother?
00:31:00That might be a bit awkward.
00:31:01Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, please come in when you're ready.
00:31:04Coming.
00:31:04If you could lift your top up slightly and lower your skirt band just a bit, we'll get started.
00:31:24First prenatal checkup together, I'm guessing.
00:31:27The baby looks perfectly healthy.
00:31:35Current length is about three inches with a strong heart rate.
00:31:40Is the baby moving?
00:31:41Is the baby moving?
00:31:41Yes, indeed.
00:31:43Look there.
00:31:45The little one's making faces.
00:31:49Quite the expressive child already.
00:31:52Dad, don't you want to come take a look?
00:32:04The 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, um, it's quite beneficial for fetal development.
00:32:24Come over here and place your hands on her belly.
00:32:28Doctor, is that really appropriate?
00:32:31What's inappropriate about it?
00:32:33This is what husbands do.
00:32:38Okay.
00:32:50I'm sorry, Dad.
00:32:52Did I hurt you?
00:32:53No, no.
00:32:54It just feels strange.
00:32:58Like this.
00:32:59Top to bottom.
00:33:00Left to right.
00:33:02Gentle strokes.
00:33:07Got it?
00:33:09Got it.
00:33:10Do this once daily.
00:33:11Five to ten minutes each.
00:33:15You can sit up now.
00:33:20Huh.
00:33:23Huh.
00:33:24So, everything good with the baby?
00:33:26Any special instructions I should know about?
00:33:30Nothing.
00:33:31Nothing, no.
00:33:32The doctor did say that the baby is developing beautifully, and there's nothing to worry about.
00:33:38Good news, then.
00:33:41Before I forget, the Rossi family's daughter is having her birthday celebration next weekend,
00:33:47and we should all attend.
00:33:50The 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.
00:34:06Miss Sofia Rossi has arrived unannounced.
00:34:10She shows up without calling?
00:34:12How gauche.
00:34:13Should we send Eva upstairs?
00:34:15No, no, it's fine.
00:34:16I'm here.
00:34:17We can just...
00:34:21Good evening, Mrs. Mancini.
00:34:23Luca!
00:34:24I came to personally deliver my birthday invitation.
00:34:26Okay.
00:34:30Luca, who is this woman?
00:34:33Luca, who is this woman?
00:34:34Hey, hey, hey.
00:34:35Rossi's family lack of manners ever disappoints me.
00:34:39Luca Mancini, how dare you speak to me like that?
00:34:42Miss Rossi, right?
00:34:44I've heard so much about your family.
00:34:48I'm Eva.
00:34:49Marco's wife.
00:34:50Marco was Luca's brother.
00:34:55Oh, okay.
00:34:57I thought you were carrying Luca's baby.
00:34:59That's good, because Luca's mom is.
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.
00:35:10Yes.
00:35:11Yes.
00:35:22See if there's any connection between that pregnant woman and Luca.
00:35:24I'm not buying this whole sister-in-law act for one second.
00:35:28You got it.
00:35:29You look so handsome.
00:35:31Well, well, well.
00:35:32It looks like my stubborn son has good taste after all.
00:35:45Luca did an excellent job selecting this gown.
00:35:47It is perfect for you.
00:35:49Luca picked this?
00:35:53I'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.
00:36:12Luca?
00:36:13What about our shoes?
00:36:14How could you forget something so basic?
00:36:16What about our shoes?
00:36:17Why is it so basic?
00:36:18having fun?
00:36:44Right there.
00:36:51No problem.
00:36:52Just don't want you to fall.
00:37:08Who's that with Mr. Mancini?
00:37:10She's clearly pregnant.
00:37:12Do you think that's Mr. Mancini's baby?
00:37:14I had no idea he was even married.
00:37:16Must be his mistress.
00:37:18Oh, she was.
00:37:19Everyone, I would like to introduce Ava Mancini,
00:37:23my eldest son Marco's wife.
00:37:26Marco's wife?
00:37:27She's stunning.
00:37:31This is my birthday party!
00:37:33I'm supposed to be the center of attention,
00:37:35not some pregnant woman!
00:37:38Well, maybe we shouldn't cause a scene here.
00:37:41It's fine.
00:37:43She's always like this.
00:37:44We didn't mean to steal your spotlight.
00:37:49An apology simply isn't enough.
00:37:51Since you're Luca's sister-in-law,
00:37:53why don't you entertain us all with a performance of some kind?
00:37:57Look!
00:37:58She used to deliver food for a living.
00:38:00Waitress?
00:38:01Retail clerk?
00:38:02Cleaning lady?
00:38:03What could someone with her background possibly perform for this crowd?
00:38:17Ava, how does this piece go again?
00:38:20I'm completely lost here.
00:38:22I've forgotten everything that you've taught me.
00:38:23There's no way she could actually play.
00:38:27She's just a nobody from nowhere.
00:38:29He has to be setting her up.
00:38:30Even Miss Mancini is smiling,
00:38:33just waiting for her to crash and burn.
00:38:35I was just playing for the baby.
00:38:56I think he recognized the music you were playing for us earlier.
00:39:02Well, maybe you should teach me sometime properly.
00:39:06I'd like to play for you both.
00:39:10Because Mom did tell me to look after you,
00:39:13so it's the least that I can do.
00:39:15One, two, three, and there.
00:39:30One, two, three, and there.
00:40:00They're definitely more than in-laws.
00:40:06Look at the way they play together.
00:40:08If I can't have him,
00:40:10I'll destroy them both.
00:40:18Yeah, I always enjoy these type of events.
00:40:20Me too.
00:40:21That habit's good enough.
00:40:22From Miss Russell.
00:40:24Your compliments.
00:40:25Cheers.
00:40:29Sir.
00:40:30That drink is almost certainly drugged.
00:40:33Obviously.
00:40:33Is the Rossi family making a move against us?
00:40:36These tensions have been simmering for years.
00:40:39Should we respond preemptively?
00:40:45Do nothing.
00:40:46You just need to focus on protecting Ava.
00:40:48I want to see what they have planned.
00:40:57Darling, you look tired.
00:40:59I don't think all this excitement is good for your condition.
00:41:03Why don't you try to find Luca and let's get you home.
00:41:05Sophia's bedroom.
00:41:17Why is Luca's phone in there?
00:41:22Sofía's bedroom. Why is Luca's phone in there? And why am I jealous?
00:41:52I've wanted Luca for years, and then you waltz in and get his attention in weeks?
00:42:01You won't look so innocent when everyone sees you in bed next to your dead husband's brother.
00:42:06This isn't exactly how you wanted it.
00:42:09Not at all. This isn't convincing. Unbutton their clothes.
00:42:13Sal, position them closer together. Make it look more intimate.
00:42:23Perfect. Let's go. Our masterpiece is complete. Now we just have to bring in an audience.
00:42:43I expected much more than just this juvenile prank from my business partner.
00:42:59Ava, wake up. Ava. Ava.
00:43:13Luca.
00:43:16Oh my God.
00:43:19What happened to us?
00:43:24This is bad.
00:43:36If anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:43:39Luca, wake up.
00:43:48Okay.
00:43:50I'm out.
00:43:52Oh!
00:43:54Jesus.
00:43:56People are coming.
00:43:58You're acting like we had some tour de faire. We didn't do anything wrong, so why are you worrying?
00:44:02I'm your late brother's widow and I'm carrying his child.
00:44:05If anyone sees us like this, they'll, the Mancini family name will be destroyed.
00:44:09Okay.
00:44:11Okay.
00:44:13Oh, so, Mancini name is what you're concerned about. Is that it?
00:44:17Hey, hey, hey. You haven't answered.
00:44:20Thank you all so much for coming today to celebrate me, but I do have some rather important information to share with you all.
00:44:33I have just discovered Luca Mancini in a rather compromising position with his brother's pregnant widow.
00:44:41In my bedroom.
00:44:52Can you let go?
00:44:56They're coming.
00:44:58Here, I got this one.
00:45:02Watch out.
00:45:03Wait, stop! Watch! They're right there!
00:45:05If we walk through that door, we'll walk right into their trap.
00:45:08Okay, then what's your brilliant idea?
00:45:09Yes, ma'am?
00:45:11Um, we...
00:45:13Let's go through the window. We can climb down.
00:45:15Whoa, whoa, whoa, no. I'm afraid of heights.
00:45:18You're what?
00:45:21Sorry, I just didn't realize the great Luca Mancini had fears like the rest of us.
00:45:26Yeah, you know, that's one of my fears and I don't advertise it, so deal with it.
00:45:31What the hell, Steve?
00:45:34Miss Cossie, where are these cheaters you promised to expose?
00:45:38Keep it down, you idiot. You don't want to wake them.
00:45:41I mean, we don't want to alert them to give them a chance to escape.
00:45:45They're coming. Let's go. Let's go.
00:45:48Okay.
00:45:50Hurry, hurry.
00:45:54No, no, no! Don't run! We have to catch them in the act first!
00:45:57Are you insane? Your house is on fire!
00:45:59Who cares about the gossip? Let's get out of here.
00:46:02No, no, no, no! I'll help everyone leave afterwards, but first let's get a look at them! Come on!
00:46:05What the hell do you think you're doing? I am so sorry. It was an accident, please.
00:46:08I am so sorry. It was an accident. Please.
00:46:09You okay? Yeah.
00:46:10Okay.

00:48:50Ava, you're so close.
00:48:52Is this a dream?
00:49:00Luca, I'm your brother's wife.
00:49:03So this isn't a dream.
00:49:04I, um, Ava, I've had feelings for you for so long.
00:49:12And I've tried to keep them a secret, but I can't keep them any longer.
00:49:16And now you know my two secrets, and by family code, I have to silence the person who discovers my weaknesses.
00:49:28Luca, let me go.
00:49:29No, no, no, but I can't silence you because, Ava, I have fallen in love with you.
00:49:35Oh, God, that's not funny.
00:49:38Look, I've never been more serious.
00:49:40Look, Ava, every time I come around you, I, I feel myself slipping.
00:49:49And my feelings have crossed that line months ago.
00:49:54Stop, stop, just stop.
00:49:56I'll forget this ever happened.
00:49:58No, Ava.
00:50:00I want to take care of you.
00:50:03And the baby.
00:50:04For the rest of my life.
00:50:05I want to take care of you.
00:50:05I want to take care of you.
00:50:06I want to take care of you.
00:50:07I want to take care of you.
00:50:08I want to take care of you.
00:50:09Luca, what's going on?
00:50:22Why isn't Ava home?
00:50:25What's going on here?
00:50:27Mom, I...
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, it's almost Marco's birthday.
00:50:49Let's visit his grave.
00:50:53He's your brother and my husband.
00:50:56And 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.
00:51:05These Rossi's are nothing but trouble.
00:51:07We need to accelerate our plans against them.
00:51:09Changing hearts.
00:51:10Changing hearts.
00:51:15Changing hearts.
00:51:19Changing hearts.
00:51:19Marco.
00:51:21I miss you.
00:51:24I feel so lost without you.
00:51:30Would you hate me if you knew I had feelings for your brother?
00:51:43Ava, are you in there?
00:51:52Ava, are you there?
00:51:53I meant everything that I said today.
00:51:58And I want to help you get through this, and I want to protect you.
00:52:02Marco and Mom, they would both understand.
00:52:08Ava, I love you.
00:52:09I understand how difficult this is, and your loyalty for Marco, and your concern for my mother, that is the compassion that, that's the reason I fell in love with you.
00:52:22There's 30 million dollars on this credit card, and the pin number is your birthday.
00:52:35There's 30 million dollars on this credit card, and the pin number is your birthday.
00:52:39There's 30 million dollars on this credit card, and the pin number is your birthday.
00:52:44I've been through epsom flows, our last goodbye felt like the end.
00:52:49Can't deny, I can't pretend, that this fire burns again.
00:52:56Illuminated rain.
00:53:00I feel alive, one more time our worlds collide.
00:53:05Watch them circling in the sky, we are magnetic sides.
00:53:11I'm falling in the sky, you, no one loves me like you do, thought that you and I were through.
00:53:25The baby's development is right on track.
00:53:29Perfect, actually.
00:53:32Has your husband been doing those tactile bonding exercises I showed you?
00:53:37Doctor, actually he's not exactly my...
00:53:41No need to be embarrassed, the way that man looks at you is something special.
00:53:50Now face each other.
00:53:53Helena, take her hands.
00:53:55Deep inhale.
00:53:57And lean into each other.
00:54:00Using each other's weight to support you.
00:54:04Come up.
00:54:05On the exhale, do a gentle squat.
00:54:15And then share and embrace.
00:54:22You have anything?
00:54:22Who exactly are you welcoming home, dear daughter-in-law?
00:54:32I was just talking nonsense.
00:54:36Miss.
00:54:36Miss.
00:54:46I'll get it.
00:54:51Miss, flowers from Mr. Mancini.
00:54:56Miss.
00:54:58Miss.
00:54:58I don't know.
00:55:28I 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.
00:55:55Mom, what are you doing here?
00:55:57I'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.
00:56:16You wasted a trip.
00:56:18Look, 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?
00:56:34That's not rehash the past.
00:56:37Of course.
00:56:39I picked these up for my grandchild.
00:56:42Aren't they precious?
00:56:45That baby that you're carrying is my family, too.
00:56:49I love them so much already.
00:56:52Look, I stood up for you to Derek.
00:56:55Wow.
00:56:56And he threw me out.
00:56:57I 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.
00:57:27$10,000?
00:57:29That's it.
00:57:31You're carrying the Mancini heir 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.
00:58:14And 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.
00:58:36That ungrateful little brat!
00:58:40I tried everything!
00:58:42I 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?
00:58:53It's just the beginning.
00:58:55We've been thinking too small.
00:58:56I have good reason to believe that we have a common enemy.
00:59:10I think we should work together.
00:59:12Miss Mancini has been sleeping well, sir.
00:59:13She 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.
00:59:46And afterwards, she spoke with one of the pianists about the compositions.
00:59:50Is it man or woman?
00:59:51Sir, per your instructions, they were all talented women.
00:59:54No exceptions.
00:59:55And she actually mentioned you today.
00:59:58While making hot chocolate, she said to the chef,
01:00:01It's never quite as good as Lucas.
01:00:04She always knows what to say.
01:00:07I'll make her a batch right now and we can have it delivered.
01:00:10Great.
01:00:11I'll arrange your private courier right away.
01:00:18Luca is almost finished with his business.
01:00:21Hopefully, he will make it home in time for the birth.
01:00:26Mrs. Mancini, terrible news.
01:00:28Luca's jet has been destroyed amid a flight.
01:00:30He's missing.
01:00:32What?
01:00:33I want every detail immediately.
01:00:35Yes, ma'am.
01:00:36Ava, breathe.
01:00:38Breathe.
01:00:39Breathe.

01:00:41Don't panic.
01:00:42Luca has always been lucky.
01:00:43He's gonna be fine.
01:00:44He will.
01:00:50Hello?
01:00:51I have Luca Mancini.
01:00:52Twenty million dollars cash for his safe return.
01:00:55No police.
01:00:56No family.
01:00:57No security team.
01:00:59You come alone or he dies.
01:01:01You have 24 hours.

01:09:08I think maybe you should get some rest.
01:09:10Okay.

01:09:22Come on.
01:09:24What is this?
01:09:26What is taking so long? Is something wrong?
01:09:33She's gone into labor early.
01:09:35Have you two been intimate recently?
01:09:37We didn't exactly.
01:09:40I mean, not completely.
01:09:42I warned you to be careful with her.
01:09:44I'm sorry.
01:09:45What can we do now?
01:09:46The medication isn't working as we'd hoped.
01:09:49There's another approach we could try.
01:09:53Yes, yes, we'll do anything. Money's no object. Just help her.
01:09:56Some intimate touches can help her relax and feel better.
01:10:04Right here.
01:10:07Right here.
01:10:08Yes.
01:10:08Mom, I can't just whip it out.
01:10:15Don't do it.
01:10:17Hurry it up.
01:10:19Do it.
01:10:28Oh.
01:10:29Time for pain.
01:10:30Oh.
01:10:32I can't.
01:10:34Okay.
01:10:37Let's go.
01:10:39I can't believe.
01:10:40I can't believe.
01:10:41Look how nice.
01:10:43I can't believe.
01:10:43I can't believe.
01:10:43Hold it here.
01:10:45If you have to be careful with it.
01:10:46I can take the food your father.
01:10:47Go.
01:10:47I hope things are going smoothly in there.
01:10:51They'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!
01:11:09Doctor, please!
01:11:09One, two, three, push!
01:11:19One, two, three, push!
01:11:22One, two, three, push!
01:11:23Push, push, push!
01:11:25Push!
01:11:25Push, push!
01:11:55I guess I was misinformed.
01:11:59Luca, they're doing the best they can.
01:12:02Let's not terrorize the staff.
01:12:06Luca, I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:11You would tear me apart.
01:12:20Luca, remember to control yourself, son.
01:12:25Let her recover first.
01:12:32There you go.
01:12:34Yeah, just like that.
01:12:36Hi.
01:12:37And have you decided what to name this little prince?
01:12:42Marco.
01:12:45Marco.
01:12:46I want to name him Marco.
01:12:47Look, little one.
01:13:11It's your daddy.
01:13:13You're a real daddy.
01:13:16It's remarkable how much he looks like you.
01:13:23Marco.
01:13:24I thought you had all the answers.
01:13:29And that you handle everything.
01:13:30And I promise to protect mom, the business, and your family.
01:13:41Our family.
01:13:45You know, Marco used to say that if you wanted to think about somebody, you would wash the dandelion.
01:13:53And then if the seeds blew out easily, then they were thinking of you, too.
01:13:55I hear you on the radio.
01:14:03On the radio.
01:14:04On the radio.
01:14:04Mrs. Mancini's wedding gifts, the finest villas, the Mancini family jewelry.
01:14:29And finally, 30% ownership of Mancini group holdings, effective immediately.
01:14:42This ring has been in the Mancini family for seven generations.
01:14:48Passed from mother to daughter-in-law.
01:14:55Thank you, woman.
01:14:56A perfect fit.
01:15:16Now, I need the two of you to focus on your top priority.
01:15:22Um, top priority?
01:15:23Giving me a granddaughter to play with little Marco, Jr.
01:15:30Mom, we're at a church.
01:15:33And there are witnesses.
