Mancini's Forbidden Bride
Transcript
00:00:00Master Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson, and she was carrying his child.
00:00:07I'm gonna bring my daughter-in-law home, where she belongs.
00:00:12My brother, I will protect your legacy, and I will protect our family.
00:00:18Who are you, really?
00:00:21A mere day she has swung with our family out of millions of dollars.
00:00:26I've wanted Luca for years, and then you waltz in and get his attention in weeks.
00:00:31I can't have him, I'll destroy him.
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, where 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!

00:04:33Hey!
00:04:34Hey!
00:04:35Hey!
00:04:36She's hardly up to that.
00:04:40Ma'am?
00:04:42I'm Helena Mancini, Marco'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.
00:04:59He was my golden boy.
00:05:00I am so sorry that he concealed his identity from you.
00:05:05You have endured far too much suffering because of it.
00:05:12Plain make-believe, Mancini?
00:05:15Seriously, like, is anybody here actually buying this?
00:05:18Question my identity again,
00:05:20and my men will make sure your other leg looks like your first one.
00:05:25Permanently.
00:05:27What are you doing?
00:05:28Derek, run!
00:05:30Maybe we should just go.
00:05:33One moment here.
00:05:35Anyone who raises a hand to my daughter-in-law
00:05:38deserves to have their fingers snapped.
00:05:42One by one.
00:05:47Come along, my dear.
00:05:49Let's get you home.
00:05:51To your real home.
00:05:55No.
00:05:55Come on.
00:05:56Come on.
00:05:57Come on.
00:06:15Welcome home, Senora Eva Mancini.
00:06:17Mancini, this is where Marco lived.
00:06:21And now, it's your hand.
00:06:30Allow me to introduce you to your personal staff, Mrs. Mancini.
00:06:34Your nutritionist, nanny, maternity nurse, each the finest specialist money can acquire.
00:06:38We pledge your absolute dedication to your health and well-being, senor.
00:06:41War 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.
00:07:06Okay, there 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.
00:07:21There's a flower girl in the cemetery.
00:07:24Luca, come meet Ava, your brother's wife.
00:07:27Please, show her proper...
00:07:31Respect!
00:07:33You 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?
00:07:55I'll be watching your every move, your every breath.
00:08:00So 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!
00:08:24And 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?
00:08:35No!
00:08:38Question along you, Lord.
00:08:39But don't you dare question my child?
00:08:41Ha ha ha!
00:08:42That's my girl!
00:08:43Backbone of steel!
00:08:46Are you hurt?
00:08:48Luca!
00:08:49You 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.
00:09:03You may be fooling them.
00:09:05But I will find out about you and I will expose you.
00:09:07these 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.
00:09:34Treat my dear daughter-in-law well.
00:10:04I don't want it, I'd hate to be breaking, I promise, cause I owe you the truth that I...
00:10:12Oh, isn't she gorgeous?
00:10:19She's adequate.
00:10:24Always the tough guy act with you.
00:10:26Your eyes tell a different story, my son.
00:10:30Oh, yes, this is just perfect.
00:10:32Perfect. We will take one of everything in her size.
00:10:38Mom? Mom? That's too generous.
00:10:43Nonsense. We're family now.
00:10:47I am putting Luca's contact info into your phone.
00:10:51Reach 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?
00:11:06Yes?
00:11:07Your mother has spent approximately 15 million dollars on Miss Jackson in the last week alone.
00:11:13God.
00:11:14In mere days, she has swoonled our family out of millions of dollars.
00:11:16She's clearly not an amateur.
00:11:18She's also been spending a substantial amount since marrying your brother to pay off her brother's debts.
00:11:24I want everything on her.
00:11:28Everything!
00:11:29If she is playing us for a fool, then I will personally ensure that she regrets ever hearing the name Manchino.
00:11:37I'm sorry, ma'am, I hate to put extra stress on your shoulders, but we need to discuss the incredible cost of your husband's care.
00:11:55And how the bill will be paid.
00:11:57Limited edition is perfect for you.
00:12:01I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:12:03I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:12:04I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:12:05You 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?
00:12:34Hello?
00:12:46Mother is unwell.
00:12:47You need to return home immediately.
00:12:51What's wrong with mom?
00:12:54Is she hurt?
00:12:58Mom?
00:13:00What's going on?
00:13:03Eva, please don't be angry.
00:13:09We 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, that old loan shark's willing to give us $80,000 just to marry you.
00:13:27Are you insane?
00:13:33I'm pregnant.
00:13:34Your husband's dead, Eva.
00:13:35Why keep his baby?
00:13:36Think about your family.
00:13:37Mr. Fang is waiting.
00:13:38Don't make this harder than it needs to be.
00:13:39You are not selling me off to Victor Fang!
00:13:42If she dies, how will you provide for this child?
00:13:57She's calling someone!
00:14:06Hello?
00:14:12Eva's in danger.
00:14:13We need to move.
00:14:14You 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 Eva, my sister, who we discussed.
00:14:48Ooh, two for the price of one, I see.
00:14:51Oh, it's just some dead guy's kid, if you want, I can take care of it right now.
00:14:56We can offer you a discount, 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.
00:15:15Now, dear, just take this right here and it'll make things easier for everybody.
00:15:24Okay, you're a little feisty, I see.
00:15:29Maybe you just need a little personal attention.
00:15:40Get out of my way!
00:15:56See, I always knew Eva was trouble.
00:15:58Her husband's barely cold and she already has another man.
00:16:02Who the hell do you think you are?
00:16:05I look at Mancini.
00:16:08Mancini, you idiot, you killed me!
00:16:12How did my sister get caught up with the likes of you?
00:16:15Eva 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.
00:16:27Yes, yes, it's true.
00:16:29I swear, we didn't know, please, please!
00:16:32You will be dealt with, pinfold, what you did to Eva.
00:16:37Get a doctor, get a doctor, get a car, and deal with him.

00:23:14i
00:23:16i
00:23:18i
00:23:20i
00:23:22Sir, 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 target.
00:23:56She did make it clear that she doesn't want any special treatment, but I have been neglecting
00:24:01my own wardrobe, and the Rossley family event will require several new suits.
00:24:06Now that you mention it, sir, your formal collection is missing quite a few essential items.
00:24:11And I should do some personal shopping, shouldn't I?
00:24:16Sir, may I assist you?
00:24:21Sir, this limited edition silk tie would go perfect with your complexion.
00:24:25Sir, I'd be happy to take your measurements, personally.
00:24:29Sir, as store manager, I would be honored to assist you with your needs myself.
00:24:35I'd actually like Miss Jackson to assist me.
00:24:38I hear her taste in men's fashion is exceptional.
00:24:45Shall we begin?
00:24:46Right this way, sir.
00:24:53All right, I just need to take your measurements.
00:24:57Whoa, what are you doing?
00:25:00Your measurements are?
00:25:02I just needed you to take the jacket off.
00:25:04Well, we don't have much time.
00:25:11Should I ask you?
00:25:12I know.
00:25:14Imagine me like this.
00:25:22Imagine me like this.
00:25:26Okay.
00:25:26Mm-hmm.
00:25:27Ava, time is almost up.
00:25:52I did it.
00:26:06I saved my job and I made a new sales record.
00:26:16There's no reason to thank me.
00:26:18I'm here to help.
00:26:19Whenever you need it.
00:26:20I hate to do this, but Ava Jackson, you're fired.
00:26:27What?
00:26:28I 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?
00:26:41Well, that won't work because everyone in this store saw me make that sale.
00:26:46I get it.
00:26:47I get it.
00:26:52You threaten them into silence.
00:26:54Well, that won't work either because the security cameras caught everything.
00:26:58Oh, security cameras.
00:27:01What horrible timing.
00:27:10Unfortunately, the security cameras are down for maintenance today.
00:27:14But fortunately, everyone here saw you destroy thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
00:27:21You all saw Ava, didn't you?
00:27:23Yeah, we all saw it.
00:27:26So someone should call security.
00:27:28Better yet, call the police.
00:27:30I'm sorry, sir, but we're closed for the day.
00:27:40I heard of this store get 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?
00:27:49Luca Mancini?
00:27:56Sorry.
00:28:00I heard of this store get trashed.
00:28:16I heard of him.
00:28:18I heard of this store get trashed.
00:28:21Please stop. I admit it, I was wrong.
00:28:46Who really damaged the merchandise in this story?
00:28:48The items that you destroyed are worth over several millions of dollars at five years of prison.
00:28:57Look at 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.
00:29:10How 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 Luca.
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.
00:29:31Sweetheart, 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.
00:29:55Luca, I'd like you to take her to the doctor tomorrow for an exam.
00:29:59No, that's really not necessary.
00:30:06I 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 travel, Luca, with something so routine.
00:30:20It'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.
00:30:28Yes, Mother.
00:30:44Ava Jackson, we're ready for you now.
00:30:47Dad should come too.
00:30:48We encourage partner participation.
00:30:49Oh, 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.
00:31:04Coming.
00:31:04If you could lift your top up slightly and lower your skirt band just a bit, we'll get started.
00:31:22First prenatal checkup together, I'm guessing.
00:31:27The baby looks perfectly healthy.
00:31:36Current length is about three inches with a strong heart rate.
00:31:40Is the baby moving?
00:31:41Yes, indeed.
00:31:44Look there.
00:31:45The little one's making faces.
00:31:49Quite the expressive child already.
00:31:55Dad, don't you want to come take a look?
00:31:58The baby's at 18 weeks, now developing beautifully.
00:32:10For home care, I recommend plenty of rest, nutrient-rich foods, and tactile bonding when possible.
00:32:19Tactile bonding?
00:32:21Yes.
00:32:22It's quite beneficial for fetal development.
00:32:24Come over here and place your hands on her belly.
00:32:27Doctor, is that really appropriate?
00:32:31What's inappropriate about it?
00:32:33This is what husbands do.
00:32:38Okay.
00:32:52Sorry, did I hurt you?
00:32:54No, no.
00:32:55It just feels strange.
00:32:57Oh, like this.
00:32:59Mm-hmm.
00:33:00Top to bottom, left to right.
00:33:03Gentle strokes.
00:33:07Got it?
00:33:09Got it.
00:33:10Do this once daily, five to ten minutes each.
00:33:16You can sit up now.
00:33:17So, 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.
00:33:37Good news, then.
00:33:38Good news, then.
00:33:41Before I forget, the Rossi family's daughter is having her birthday celebration next weekend, and we should all attend.
00:33:50The Rossi family?
00:33:52Technically, they're our business rivals, but social niceties must be maintained.
00:33:58And 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?
00:34:12How gauche.
00:34:14Should we send Ava upstairs?
00:34:16No, no, it's fine.
00:34:17I'm here.
00:34:17We can just...
00:34:18Good evening, Mrs. Mancini.
00:34:24Luca, I came to personally deliver my birthday invitation.
00:34:27Okay.
00:34:31Luca, who is this woman?
00:34:33Luca, who is this woman?
00:34:35Hey, hey, hey.
00:34:36Rossi's family lack of manners ever disappoints me.
00:34:40Luca Mancini, how dare you speak to me like that?
00:34:43Miss Rossi, I've heard so much about your family.
00:34:47I'm Ava, Marco's wife.
00:34:51Marco was Luca's brother.
00:34:56Oh, okay.
00:34:57I thought you were carrying Luca's baby.
00:35:00That'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.
00:35:09Or something sharp.
00:35:12Yes.
00:35:17See 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.
00:35:29You look so handsome.
00:35:35Well, well, well.
00:35:40It looks like my stubborn son has good taste after all.
00:35:44Luca did an excellent job selecting this gown.
00:35:47It is perfect for you.
00:35:49Luca picked this?
00:35:53I'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.
00:36:13Luca?
00:36:14What about her shoes?
00:36:15How could you forget something so basic?
00:36:17What about her shoes?
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.
00:37:16He must be his mistress.
00:37:18Oh, sure.
00:37:18Everyone, I would like to introduce Ava Mancini, my eldest son Marco's wife.
00:37:26Marco's wife?
00:37:27She's stunning.
00:37:28This is my birthday party.
00:37:33I'm supposed to be the center of attention, not some pregnant woman.
00:37:39Maybe we shouldn't cause a scene here.
00:37:41It's fine.
00:37:43She's always like this.
00:37:45We didn't mean to steal your spotlight.
00:37:48An apology simply isn't enough.
00:37:51Since you're Luca's sister-in-law, why don't you entertain us all with a performance of some kind?
00:37:56Look, she used to deliver food for a living.
00:38:00Waitress, retail clerk, cleaning lady?
00:38:03What 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.
00:38:22I've forgotten everything that you've told me.
00:38:24There'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, just waiting for her to crash and burn.
00:38:54I 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, so it's the least that I can do.
00:39:17Okay.
00:39:18One, two, and there.
00:39:30One, two, 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, I'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?
00:40:44Do nothing.
00:40:46You just need to focus on protecting Ava.
00:40:49We'll 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.
00:41:07Sophia's bedroom.
00:41:31Why is Luca's phone in there?
00:41:34And why am I jealous?
00:41:35And why am I jealous?
00:41:39I've wanted Luca for years.
00:41:55And 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.
00:42:06Miss, is it exactly how you want it?
00:42:09Not at all.
00:42:10This isn't convincing.
00:42:11Unbutton their clothes.
00:42:20Sal, position them closer together.
00:42:22Make it look more intimate.
00:42:22Perfect.
00:42:29Perfect.
00:42:29Let's go.
00:42:30Our masterpiece is complete.
00:42:32Now we just have to bring in an audience.
00:42:33I expected much more than this is a juvenile prank from my business partner.
00:42:59Ava, wake up.
00:43:02Ava.
00:43:02Ava.
00:43:04Ava.
00:43:13Oh my God.
00:43:17What happened to us?
00:43:24This is bad.
00:43:26Oh, if anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:43:43Luca, wake up.
00:43:48Okay.
00:43:52Oh, Jesus.
00:43:56People are coming.
00:43:58You're acting like we had some tort affair.
00:44:00We didn't do anything wrong, so why are you worrying?
00:44:02I'm your late brother's widow, and I'm carrying his child.
00:44:05If anyone sees us like this, the Mancini family name won't be destroyed.
00:44:10Okay.
00:44:11Okay.
00:44:13Oh, so Mancini name is what you're concerned about.
00:44:16Is that it?
00:44:17Hey, hey, hey.
00:44:18You haven't answered.
00:44:20Thank you all so much for coming today to celebrate me, but I do have some rather important information
00:44:31to share with you all.
00:44:32I have just discovered Luca Mancini in a rather compromising position with his brother's pregnant
00:44:41widow in my bedroom.
00:44:52Can you let go?
00:44:56They're coming.
00:44:57Let's go.
00:45:01Here, I got this one.
00:45:02Wait, stop.
00:45:03Watch.
00:45:04They'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...
00:45:11Let's go through the window.
00:45:13We can climb down.
00:45:14Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:45:15No.
00:45:15No, no.
00:45:16I'm afraid of heights.
00:45:18You're what?
00:45:18Sorry, 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?
00:45:34Let's go see.
00:45:35What are these cheaters you promised to expose?
00:45:37Shh.
00:45:38Keep it down, you idiot.
00:45:39You don't want to wake them.
00:45:41I mean, we don't want to alert them to give them a chance to escape.
00:45:45They're coming.
00:45:46Let's go.
00:45:46Let's go.
00:45:46Hurry, hurry.
00:45:54No, no, no, no, don'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.
00:46:00Who cares about the gossip?
00:46:01Let me get out of here.
00:46:02No, no, no, no.
00:46:03No, I'll help everyone leave afterwards, but first let's get a look at them.
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.
00:46:34Please.
00:46:35Okay?
00:46:36Yeah.
00:46:38The staff prepared everything for you, and there's hot water in there.
00:46:46And what about you?
00:46:48We'll just be out here, taking guard for you.
00:46:51Now go on.
00:46:52It's warm.
00:46:55Thanks.
00:46:55Thanks.
00:46:55We'll just be out here.
00:47:25What is it?
00:47:29Miss Rossi is demanding to see you, sir.
00:47:32She's quite insistent.
00:47:34Okay, let her run.
00:47:39You set off the fire alarms and completely scared away my guests.
00:47:42You've ruined my birthday celebration.
00:47:44Hey, you will take full responsibility for what you did.
00:47:59The drugging, the setup, all of it.
00:48:01And if you ever threaten Ava again, directly or indirectly, I will end the Rossi family from
00:48:08this city permanently.
00:48:10You're a monster.
00:48:12That's her in there, isn't it?
00:48:13Ava?
00:48:14Your dead brother's wife?
00:48:16How dare you?
00:48:18Get your hands off of me!
00:48:20Do you know who I am?
00:48:21Ava?
00:48:37Ava?
00:48:37Ava?
00:48:37Ava?
00:48:38Ava?
00:48:38Ava?
00:48:39Luca, it's me, Michael.
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, I, I can't keep them any longer.
00:49:17And now you know my two secrets and by family code, I have to silence the person who discovers 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.
00:49:34Oh, God, that's not funny.
00:49:38Look, I've never been more serious.
00:49:42Look, Ava, every time I come around you, I, I feel myself slipping.
00:49:49And my feelings have crossed that line months ago.
00:49:51Stop, 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.
00:50:13Luca.
00:50:14I...
00:50:15I love you.
00:50:17Luca, 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...
00:50:43Luca.
00:50:44Luca.
00:50:44It's almost Marco's birthday.
00:50:50Let's visit his grave.
00:50:53He is 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.
00:51:03Let's get you home.
00:51:05These Rossis are nothing but trouble.
00:51:07We need to accelerate our plans against them.
00:51:09I love you.
00:51:10I love you.
00:51:11Let's go.
00:51:19Marco.
00:51:20Marco.
00:51:23I 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?
00:51:43Ava, are you in there?
00:51:52Ava, are you there?
00:51:54I meant everything that I said today.
00:51:57And 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.
00:52:24I understand how difficult this is.
00:52:28Your loyalty for Marco, and your concern for my mother, that is the compassion that...
00:52:34That's the reason I fell in love with you.
00:52:39There's 30 million dollars on this credit card.
00:52:43And the pin number is your birthday.
00:52:44I've been through epsom flows, our last goodbye felt like the end.
00:52:50Can't deny, I can't pretend, that this fire burns again.
00:52:57Illuminating rain.
00:53:00I feel alive, one more time our worlds collide.
00:53:05Watch them circling in the sky.
00:53:07We are magnetic sites.
00:53:11I'm falling into you.
00:53:13No one loves me like you do.
00:53:17Thought that you and I were through.
00:53:20The baby's development is right on track.
00:53:29Perfect, actually.
00:53:31How's your husband been doing those tactile bonding exercises I showed you?
00:53:37Doctor.
00:53:37Uh, actually, he's not exactly my...
00:53:40Oh, you don't need to be embarrassed.
00:53:43The 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.
00:53:56And lean into each other.
00:54:00Using each other's weight to support you.
00:54:02On the exhale, do a gentle squat.
00:54:15And then share and embrace.
00:54:22You're funny, huh?
00:54:28Who exactly are you welcoming home, dear daughter-in-law?
00:54:32I was just talking nonsense.
00:54:46I'll get it.
00:54:51Miss, flowers from Mr. Mancini.
00:55:02I wonder if he's doing well out there.
00:55:30You're a nervous look on your face
00:55:31when you're starting to think
00:55:33that you're talking too much.
00:55:36I like how we just met
00:55:37and I'm not even slightly afraid
00:55:40to be opening up.
00:55:45Hello?
00:55:46Ava?
00:55:46I'm outside at the gate.
00:55:49Security won't let me in.
00:55:55Mom, what are you doing here?
00:55:57I missed you terribly, sweetheart.
00:55:59I just wanted to check on you
00:56:01and the baby.
00:56:05Look.
00:56:07Fresh oranges.
00:56:08Just pick today.
00:56:10You need the vitamin C
00:56:11for the baby's development.
00:56:13I'm on a very carefully monitored diet.
00:56:16You wasted a trip.
00:56:17Look, I know that you haven't forgiven me,
00:56:24but you have to understand.
00:56:26Derek and Sarah,
00:56:28I mean, they would have thrown me out on the street
00:56:31if I didn't go along with them.
00:56:33I mean, what choice did I have?
00:56:36That's not rehashed the past.
00:56:38Of course.
00:56:38I picked these up
00:56:41for my grandchild.
00:56:43Aren't they precious?
00:56:46That baby that you're carrying
00:56:48is my family too.
00:56:50I love him so much already.
00:56:53Look, I stood up for you
00:56:55to Derek
00:56:56and he threw me out.
00:56:58I got absolutely nothing left.
00:57:00This card contains all the money I've saved.
00:57:12It's yours.
00:57:14But you have to promise me
00:57:15that 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?
00:57:28That's it.
00:57:31You're carrying the Mancini air
00:57:33and all they've given you
00:57:34is $10,000.
00:57:36That is my personal savings.
00:57:38I haven't asked the Mancini's for a cent.
00:57:40Okay, this is completely unacceptable.
00:57:45Everyone in this city
00:57:46knows that the Mancini's
00:57:48are loaded beyond belief.
00:57:50Come on.
00:57:51You need to milk this situation
00:57:52for all it's worth.
00:57:58Honey, I'm...
00:58:01I'm only thinking about your future
00:58:05and your security.
00:58:06I mean,
00:58:07what happens if they throw you out
00:58:09once the baby arrives?
00:58:11I didn't marry into the Mancini family
00:58:13for their fortune.
00:58:15And you mention their money one more time,
00:58:18you'll never see me again.
00:58:20Understood?
00:58:21I understand, sweetheart.
00:58:23Mom won't say another word about it.
00:58:24$10,000?
00:58:32That's it?
00:58:33That's pocket change for them!
00:58:35She must be holding out 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
00:58:47and we're here struggling.
00:58:49After what they did to my leg,
00:58:50I should be getting millions!
00:58:52A few million?
00:58:54It's just the beginning.
00:58:56We've been thinking too small.
00:59:08I have good reason to believe
00:59:10that we have a common enemy.
00:59:12I think we should work together.
00:59:18Miss Mancini has been sleeping well, sir.
00:59:21She got the prenatal vitamins you sent her
00:59:23and they effectively reduced her morning sickness.
00:59:27And this morning,
00:59:28she ate half a slice of French toast,
00:59:30a half portion of scrambled eggs,
00:59:32two cherry tomatoes,
00:59:33and a glass of milk.
00:59:35And after some gentle persuasion from your mother,
00:59:38she also had a piece of steak for the iron content.
00:59:41It's good to hear that she's eating healthy.
00:59:43And then she finally attended the prenatal concert
00:59:45we arranged.
00:59:46And afterward,
00:59:47she spoke with one of the pianists
00:59:49about the compositions.
00:59:51Is it man or woman?
00:59:52Sir,
00:59:52per your instructions,
00:59:53they were all talented women.
00:59:55No exceptions.
00:59:57And she actually mentioned you today.
00:59:59While making hot chocolate,
01:00:00she said to the chef,
01:00:02it's never quite as good as Lucas.
01:00:05She always knows what to say.
01:00:08I'll make her a batch right now
01:00:10and we can have it delivered.
01:00:11Great.
01:00:12I'll arrange your private courier right away.
01:00:19Luca is almost finished with his business.
01:00:22Hopefully,
01:00:23he will make it home
01:00:23in time for the birth.
01:00:27Mrs. Mancini,
01:00:28terrible news.
01:00:29Luca's jet has been destroyed
01:00:30amid a flight.
01:00:31He...
01:00:31He's missing.
01:00:32What?
01:00:34I want every detail immediately.
01:00:35Yes, ma'am.
01:00:38Ava, breathe.
01:00:39Breathe.
01:00:40Don't panic.
01:00:41Don't panic.
01:00:42Luca has always been lucky.
01:00:44He's gonna be fine.
01:00:45He will.
01:00:50Hello?
01:00:51I have Luca Mancini.
01:00:5320 million dollars cash
01:00:54for his safe return.
01:00:56No police,
01:00:57no family,
01:00:58no security team.
01:01:00You come alone
01:01:01or he dies.
01:01:03You have 24 hours.
01:01:07Who?
01:01:08Oh, Ava,
01:01:09are you okay?
01:01:10Mm-hmm.
01:01:11Who was that?
01:01:12It's nothing, nothing.
01:01:13I...
01:01:13I'm just dizzy.
01:01:16The...
01:01:16The baby.
01:01:17So I'm gonna go upstairs
01:01:19and lie down.
01:01:20Okay.
01:01:21Okay.
01:01:23Here.
01:01:24Here.
01:01:24Money first.
01:01:39Money first.
01:01:39Let's go.
01:01:49Ow!
01:01:53You okay?
01:01:56Derek?
01:01:58Where's Luca?
01:02:00Where's Luca?
01:02:01Don't worry about Luca.
01:02:03Worry about yourself.
01:02:09Yeah, with her as our bargaining chip, we can demand a hundred million dollars from the manchins.
01:02:30Easy.
01:02:32Mom, why are you doing this?
01:02:35Poor family.
01:02:36Why have you always treated me so terribly?
01:02:39Family?
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 that she brought home to be our living servant.
01:02:55You're an orphan!
01:02:58Not even your birth mother wanted you.
01:03:01Yeah, we brought you in.
01:03:04We fed you.
01:03:05We clothed you.
01:03:07And in return, your life belongs to us.
01:03:11Oh, and by the way, since we're being honest with each other right now, my whole leg injury, it's kind of my fault.
01:03:18But it was a great excuse to get you to basically give up your life and 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.
01:03:39So since we're giving up this whole brother-sister roleplay thing, I don't want to do something that I've wanted to do for a very, very long time.
01:03:55Stop!
01:03:56You're sick!
01:03:57Shhh!
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?
01:04:07You fucking bitch!
01:04:12��!
01:04:13Ahhhhh!
01:04:14Ah!
01:04:15Ah!
01:04:16AH!
01:04:17Huah!
01:04:24Oh God!
01:04:27You're alive!
01:04:28You're okay!
01:04:33Oh God, you're alive!
01:04:36You're okay!
01:04:37Oh Yeah!
01:04:38SHHH!
01:04:39Ahh!
01:04:40Ow!
01:04:41Ah!
01:04:42Stop! Stop! Stop!
01:04:46My plane blew up.
01:04:48Ava gets kidnapped.
01:04:49This isn't a coincidence.
01:04:50Who are you looking for?
01:04:52Answer me!
01:04:57Hey, make them stop.
01:04:59He's your brother.
01:05:01You'll kill him.
01:05:02You just told me I'm an orphan,
01:05:04so he's not really my little brother.
01:05:05You better tell me who your accomplices are,
01:05:08or he stops breathing.
01:05:09You two should be ashamed of yourselves.
01:05:12Yeah, I 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.
01:05:23Are you all right?
01:05:24Hey, hey, hey, are you okay?
01:05:25Yeah, yeah.
01:05:27Your mom has been so kind to me,
01:05:30and I dragged her into this mess.
01:05:32It's all my fault.
01:05:33Yeah, your mother-in-law took you in.
01:05:36She treated you like a daughter.
01:05:38She gave you everything that you could ever want,
01:05:40and this is how you repay her.
01:05:41By falling for her younger son.
01:05:44Have you already forgotten, Marco?
01:05:46It is his grave.
01:05:48What is wrong with you?
01:05:52I want her as my daughter-in-law.
01:05:55First my eldest son's wife,
01:05:58and now my youngest.
01:06:01Objective then,
01:06:03and you'll lose your tongue.
01:06:05You couldn't have Luca,
01:06:17so you decided to try and kill him?
01:06:22Good thing he changed his flight plan at the last minute, hmm?
01:06:26Cross the Mancini's,
01:06:28and you ceased to exist.
01:06:30Release me!
01:06:32My 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
01:06:45is already gone.
01:06:49You two have risked everything to be together.
01:07:04I can see that Luca's devotion
01:07:09is absolute.
01:07:12You have endured far too much pain.
01:07:16It's time to let him take care of you.
01:07:19But, Marco,
01:07:21I made a promise to him.
01:07:23And Marco
01:07:25would want your happiness
01:07:28above all else.
01:07:31He will rest easier,
01:07:32knowing that we are protecting you
01:07:36and your child.
01:07:41From this moment forward,
01:07:43I swear to you,
01:07:44nobody will ever hurt my family.
01:07:50Luca,
01:07:51you're bleeding.
01:07:53You gotta keep this clean.
01:07:57Yeah.
01:07:58Infections can get nasty.
01:08:02Okay.
01:08:04So you're saying that you care about me then?
01:08:07Shut up.
01:08:08Of course I care.
01:08:13All right.
01:08:15Wait.
01:08:16Okay.
01:08:23I think he likes you.
01:08:43Yeah?
01:08:44Ava.
01:08:44I will take care of you.
01:08:52And the baby.
01:08:54Just let my brother would have.
01:08:55I brought some fruit for you and the...
01:08:57Luca.
01:09:01She's pregnant.
01:09:03Be gentle with her.
01:09:04I think maybe you should get some less.
01:09:10Okay.
01:09:15Oh, wait.
01:09:18What is it?
01:09:19I think I'm in labor.
01:09:20What is taking so long?
01:09:32Is something wrong?
01:09:33She's gone into labor early.
01:09:35Have you two been intimate recently?
01:09:36Well, we 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.
01:09:52Yes.
01:09:53Yes.
01:09:53We'll do anything.
01:09:54Money's no object.
01:09:54Just help her.
01:09:55Some intimate touches can help her relax and feel better.
01:10:04Right here.
01:10:06Right here.
01:10:08Yes.
01:10:12Mom, I can't just whip it out.
01:10:15Don't do it.
01:10:17Hurry it up.
01:10:25I 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.
01:11:16Three.
01:11:17One, two, three, push.
01:11:19One, two, three, push.
01:11:22One, two, three, push.
01:11:23Push, push, push.
01:11:25Push.
01:11:30What's your baby?
01:11:30What's your baby?
01:11:30What's your baby?
01:11:33What's your baby?
01:11:34What's your baby?
01:11:36What's your baby?
01:11:38What's that?
01:11:41Hey.
01:11:42Hi.
01:11:43How you feeling?
01:11:44Good.
01:11:46Want something to eat?
01:11:47I'm okay.
01:11:48Okay.
01:11:48Okay.
01:11:48I thought this hospital was the best that money can buy.
01:11:56I guess I was misinformed.
01:11:59Luca.
01:12:01They're doing the best they can.
01:12:02Let's not terrorize the staff.
01:12:06Luca.
01:12:07Good.
01:12:07I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:11You would tear me apart.
01:12:12Luca.
01:12:23Remember to control yourself, son.
01:12:26Let her recover first.
01:12:32There you go.
01:12:34Yeah?
01:12:34Yeah.
01:12:35Just like that.
01:12:36Hi.
01:12:36And have you decided what to name this little prince?
01:12:40Marco.
01:12:42Marco.
01:12:44I want to name him Marco.
01:13:06Look, little one.
01:13:12It's your daddy.
01:13:14Your real daddy.
01:13:18It's remarkable how much he looks like.
01:13:22Marco.
01:13:24I thought you had all the answers.
01:13:28And that you'd handle everything.
01:13:30And I promise to protect mom.
01:13:34The business.
01:13:36And your family.
01:13:40Our family.
01:13:42You know Marco used to say.
01:13:46That if you wanted to think about somebody.
01:13:50You would watch the dandelion.
01:13:52And if the seeds blew out easily.
01:13:54Then they were thinking of you too.
01:13:56I hear you on the radio.
01:14:02On the radio.
01:14:06On the radio.
01:14:08On the radio.
01:14:24Mancini's wedding gifts, the finest villas, the Mancini family jewelry, and finally, 30%
01:14:32ownership of Mancini group holdings, effective immediately.
01:14:42This ring has been in the Mancini family for seven generations, passed from mother to daughter-in-law.
01:14:54Thank you, woman.
01:15:01A perfect fit.
01:15:15Now, I need the two of you to focus on your top priority.
01:15:21Top priority?
01:15:23Giving me a granddaughter to play with little Marco Jr.
01:15:29Mom, we're at a church, and there are witnesses.
01:15:34Mom!
01:15:35Mom!
01:15:36Mom!
01:15:37Mom!
01:15:38Mom!
01:15:39Mom!
01:15:40Mom!
01:15:41Mom!
01:15:42Mom!
01:15:43Mom!
01:15:44Mom!
