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 Luka 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 now.
00:00:35Your life belongs to us.
00:00:38Give me one good reason why I should get rid of this baby.
00:00:43From this moment forward, I swear to you, nobody will ever hurt you again.
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 see me first.
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, dear.
00:01:36I never even got to say goodbye.
00:01:38Marco, my brother, I will protect your legacy.
00:01:42And I will protect our family.
00:01:50Hey, hey!
00:01:51Who are you?
00:01:52Which family do you work for?
00:01:54I just came to drop off the flowers.
00:01:56I didn't mean to retreat.
00:01:57Luka, 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.
00:02:23Mr. Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson.
00:02:27And she was carrying his child.
00:02:29Get the car.
00:02:31Let me bring my daughter-in-law home.
00:02:34Where she belongs.
00:02:36Don't worry, little one.
00:02:45We'll get through this together.
00:02:48Somehow.
00:02:52Well, looky here.
00:02:55Family Jinx is finally six feet under.
00:02:57Derek, have you lost your mind?
00:03:07What the hell was that?
00:03:08Don't tell me that you're actually planning on keeping that little parasite.
00:03:13This is Marco's baby.
00:03:16This is our child.
00:03:17Of course I'm keeping it.
00:03:19Ever since you got knocked up, you've done nothing to help this family.
00:03:24Emily, we've been struggling while you've been out here playing the grieving widow.
00:03:28Give me one good reason why I should get rid of this baby.
00:03:35Because you owe me.
00:03:37This is your fault.
00:03:40I dropped out of college for this family.
00:03:43I took five jobs.
00:03:44What more could you possibly want?
00:03:45There'll never be enough, Ava.
00:03:47You'll owe us till the day you die.
00:03:50Please.
00:03:52Sweetheart.
00:03:53Think of your brother.
00:03:58I'm going to 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!
00:04:23What the hell is going on here?
00:04:24Who the hell are you people?
00:04:25Ava, right?
00:04:26You were here this morning.
00:04:27Enough, Luca.
00:04:28She's hardly up there.
00:04:29Ma'am?
00:04:30I'm Helena Mancini.
00:04:31Marco's mother.
00:04:32That means I'm your baby's grandmother.
00:04:33The most powerful mafia family in the country.
00:04:35Marco was my oldest.
00:04:36He was my golden boy.
00:04:37I am so sorry that he concealed his identity from you.
00:04:52You have endured far too much suffering because of it.
00:04:59Plain make-believe mancini?
00:05:00Yeah.
00:05:01Seriously.
00:05:02Like, is anybody here actually buying this?
00:05:06Question my identity again.
00:05:07And my men will make sure your other leg looks like your first one.
00:05:12Permanently.
00:05:14What are you doing?
00:05:15There!
00:05:16Run!
00:05:17Maybe we should just go.
00:05:18One moment here.
00:05:19Anyone.
00:05:20Anyone who raises a hand to my daughter-in-law deserves to have their fingers snapped.
00:05:24One by one.
00:05:39Come along my dear.
00:05:42That's great.
00:05:43I'm just not sure why you're in this.
00:05:45And my men.
00:05:46And my men will make sure your other leg looks like your first one.
00:05:49Let's get you home. To your real home.
00:05:54Oh my god.
00:06:14Welcome home, Signora Eva Mincini.
00:06:17This is where Marco lived.
00:06:21And now, it's your hand.
00:06:29Allow me to introduce you to your personal staff, Mrs. Mancini.
00:06:33Your nutritionist, nanny, maternity nurse, each the finest specialist money can acquire.
00:06:38We pledge your absolute dedication to your health and well-being, Signora.
00:06:44Your days of working multiple jobs are over, my dear.
00:06:48Ten 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.
00:07:00Practical and principled, my Marco truly had an eye for quality.
00:07:06There is one more member of the family that you need to properly meet.
00:07:11That would be Luca, Marco's younger brother.
00:07:14The brooding iceberg that you encountered this morning.
00:07:17Well, well, well.
00:07:20There's a flower girl in the cemetery.
00:07:22Luca, come meet Eva, your brother's wife.
00:07:26Please, show her proper respect.
00:07:34You walk back into a Mancini household.
00:07:37You're either incredibly stupid or incredibly brave.
00:07:41Luca, open this door immediately.
00:07:45Everyone around back, now.
00:07:50Who are you, really?
00:07:53I'll be watching your every move, your every breath.
00:08:00So tell me, who are you, really?
00:08:05My brother's dead, and you appear suddenly?
00:08:08Was this your end game all along?
00:08:10Our fortune?
00:08:11I didn't know Marco's a Mancini.
00:08:13And now?
00:08:14I don't need this.
00:08:15I can walk right out those doors.
00:08:17You can't walk anywhere.
00:08:18She's not going anywhere.
00:08:24And get your hands off of her.
00:08:26She is carrying Marco's child.
00:08:29Oh, is she?
00:08:30How do we even know it is Marco's child?
00:08:32Convenient timing, wouldn't you say?
00:08:37Question me on you, Marco.
00:08:39Don't you dare question my child.
00:08:41That's my girl.
00:08:43Backbone of steel?
00:08:45Are you hurt?
00:08:48Luca, 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 gonna take you and get some clothes.
00:08:57Pay no attention to this fool.
00:09:02You may be fooling them,
00:09:04but I will find out about you and I will expose you.
00:09:13I will see you.
00:09:15I wouldn't you totally believe you.
00:09:16I don't think you should.
00:09:17I will be afraid of you.
00:09:19You won't be afraid of me.
00:09:20I should've been riding my bike.
00:09:21I am a bitch for女's.
00:09:22I am really afraid.
00:09:23I would've been riding my bike.
00:09:24I am excited.
00:09:25You are too young.
00:09:26I can't be angry.
00:09:27You don't have to be a kid.
00:09:28I have to be I am scorn had my life.
00:09:29These are much too expensive.
00:09:31Oh, not to worry.
00:09:33It's all on Lucas card.
00:09:35Treat my dear daughter-in-law well.
00:09:37Let's go.
00:10:07Oh, 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.
00:10:33We will take one of everything in her size.
00:10:38Mom.
00:10:39Mom.
00:10:41That's too generous.
00:10:43Nonsense.
00:10:44We're family now.
00:10:47I am putting Lucas' contact info into your phone.
00:10:51Reach out to him.
00:10:52Whatever you need.
00:10:54And don't worry.
00:10:56He'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 the daughter family out of millions of dollars.
00:11:19She's clearly not an amateur.
00:11:21She's also been spending a substantial amount since marrying your brother to pay off her brother's debts.
00:11:26I want everything on her.
00:11:30Everything!
00:11:30If she is playing us for fools, then I will personally ensure that she regrets ever hearing the name Mancino.
00:11:37I'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 and how the bill will be paid.
00:11:57Limited edition is perfect for you.
00:12:00Marko, you just focus on getting better, okay?
00:12:08Don't worry about the bills.
00:12:10I've got it covered.
00:12:19Your 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.
00:12:28And then day and night for his funeral.
00:12:31Did I get her all wrong?
00:12:45Hello?
00:12:46Mother is unwell.
00:12:47You need to return home immediately.
00:12:51What's wrong with Mom?
00:12:53Is she hurt?
00:12:58Mom?
00:12:58What's going on?
00:13:06Ava, 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.
00:13:32Are 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.
00:13:41Don't make this harder than it needs to be.
00:13:45You are not selling me off to Victor Fang!
00:13:51If she dies, how will you provide for this child?
00:13:56She's calling someone!
00:14:05Hello?
00:14:06Ava's in danger.
00:14:12We need to move.
00:14:13Go, go, go!
00:14:32Dad!
00:14:33You think someone's coming to save you?
00:14:36God!
00:14:40Who 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 can offer you a discount.
00:14:57I 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.
00:15:04This is your nephew.
00:15:05My son's future is more important to me than that stupid little bastard of yours.
00:15:10Hey, hey, 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.
00:15:24You're a little feisty, I see.
00:15:28Maybe you just need a little personal attention.
00:15:31Come on.
00:15:32Get out of my way!
00:15:57I always knew Ava was trouble.
00:15:58Her husband's barely cold and she already has another man.
00:16:03Who the hell do you think you are?
00:16:04I'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.
00:16:17And her baby is his only child.
00:16:21So it's true?
00:16:22Her baby's the heir to the Mancini family?
00:16:25Looks like your wife is pregnant too.
00:16:28Yes.
00:16:28Yes, it's true.
00:16:30I swear.
00:16:31We didn't know.
00:16:31Please, please.
00:16:32You will be dealt with.
00:16:35Penfold.
00:16:36What you did to Ava.
00:16:40Get a doctor!
00:16:41Get a doctor!
00:16:41Get a car!
00:16:42And deal with them.
00:17:02Mom, hey.
00:17:22How's Ava?
00:17:23How's the baby?
00:17:25The doctors are examining her now.
00:17:26Doctor, how is she?
00:17:32Mr. Mancini has a severe ankle fracture that it needs immediate surgery.
00:17:37The medication could cause a miscarriage.
00:17:40So we need to have consent before we can proceed.
00:17:43Do it.
00:17:44Whatever it takes.
00:17:45No!
00:17:49Doctor, is there any way to do the surgery without anesthesia?
00:17:53That's not medically advisable.
00:17:54The pain would be too excruciating.
00:17:59This baby is Marco's only child.
00:18:02His only heir.
00:18:03I can't risk losing it.
00:18:06I can handle the pain.
00:18:08Oh, my brave girl.
00:18:10God bless you.
00:18:13You know, I think somebody should be with her during the operation.
00:18:16The pain would be just too intense.
00:18:19I'll stay with her.
00:18:24How'd it go, doctor?
00:18:27How'd it go, Doctor?
00:18:44It's a success.
00:18:46You're a real trooper if you don't mind me saying.
00:18:50I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:18:57Senora Ava, please, let me help you.
00:19:16Okay, wait this way only.
00:19:22I know your stay at the hospital could not have been easy for you.
00:19:29That's why I'm having 30% of Mancini Group shares put into your name.
00:19:35No. Mom, I cannot accept that.
00:19:39We're family. It'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.
00:19:50Work? But you're pregnant.
00:19:54Oh, honey, if you need money, I'll just transfer some into your account.
00:19:56No, no, it's not about money.
00:19:58Marco always said that we should make our own way.
00:20:04And I want our child to know his father and know what he valued.
00:20:11And you are as stubborn as he was.
00:20:15Well, you're going to need protection.
00:20:19You'll accompany her.
00:20:21No, no, no, no, no. I can manage on my own.
00:20:26In the morning, at 10 a.m., I'll be at the entrance.
00:20:42You know that I can talk to your manager for you.
00:20:44Make sure that they accommodate every need.
00:20:46No need. I don't want any special treatments.
00:20:49But thank you for that ride.
00:20:53No, Ava, you do not need to be afraid of me.
00:20:57I can help you whenever you need.
00:21:18Why is she even back?
00:21:20That pregnant belly ruins the store's aesthetic.
00:21:22These 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?
00:21:33And if something happens to her or the baby,
00:21:35you want that liability?
00:21:37We can't fire her, but we certainly can make her life difficult enough
00:21:42that she decides to quit on her own.
00:21:45And that concludes our quarterly revenue projections.
00:22:06Sir, forgive my directness, but are we here because you're concerned about your sister-in-law?
00:22:16Should I have the car brought around for your next meeting?
00:22:21Cancel the meeting?
00:22:22I've been meaning to talk to you. Given your condition, I've been worried about potential liability issues.
00:22:38My pregnancy will not affect my performance.
00:22:41I do not intend to take advantage of company policy.
00:22:44Oh, glad to hear that.
00:22:48Then you won't mind proving your commitment.
00:22:50Sell one million dollars worth of merchandise by today,
00:22:54and 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.
00:23:24Sir, half an hour until closing, and Mrs. Mancini has already surpassed the store's average monthly sales in a single day.
00:23:49But she's still a great deal short of the manager's impossible target.
00:23:53She did make it clear that she doesn't want any special treatment.
00:23:59But I have been neglecting my own wardrobe.
00:24:02And the Rossley family event will require several new suits.
00:24:05Now that you mention it, sir, your formal collection is missing quite a few essential items.
00:24:10And I should do some special shopping, shouldn't I?
00:24:18Sir, may I assist you?
00:24:20Sir, this limited edition silk tie would go perfect with your complexion.
00:24:24Sir, 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.
00:24:37I hear her taste in men's fashion is exceptional.
00:24:44Shall we begin?
00:24:45Shall we begin?
00:24:46Right this way, sir.
00:24:53I just need to take your measurements.
00:24:56Whoa!
00:24:57What are you doing?
00:24:58Your measurement bucket?
00:25:01I just needed you to take the jacket off.
00:25:03Well, we don't have much time.
00:25:06Trust me.
00:25:08I know.
00:25:09Now, measure me like this.
00:25:13No.
00:25:20I'm hungry.
00:25:25Mm-hmm.
00:25:27Mm-hmm.
00:25:28Ava, time is almost up.
00:25:58I did it, I saved my job and I made a new sales record, thank you.
00:26:16It's no reason to thank me, I'm here to help, whenever you need it.
00:26:22I hate to do this, but Ava Jackson, you're fired.
00:26:29What?
00:26:31No, 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.
00:26:40You're trying to steal my commission?
00:26:42Well that won't work because everyone in this store saw me make that sale.
00:26:47I get it, if you threaten them into silence, well that won't work either.
00:26:56Because the security cameras caught everything.
00:26:59Security cameras?
00:27:09What horrible timing.
00:27:11Unfortunately the security cameras are down for maintenance today.
00:27:15But 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 that this store got trashed.
00:27:42I'm gonna have to ask you to leave, or I'm gonna have to call the police.
00:27:45The police work for me.
00:27:47Are you?
00:27:48Luca Mancini?
00:27:49Luca Mancini?
00:27:50I don't know.
00:28:20Please stop, I admit it, I was wrong.
00:28:46Who really damaged the merchandise in this store?
00:28:48The items that you destroyed are worth over several millions of dollars.
00:28:52That's five years in prison.
00:28:57Look, what happened?
00:28:59There's nothing we're talking about.
00:29:00We need to go.
00:29:01And by the way, you're fired.
00:29:03Let's go.
00:29:04Mom could destroy me.
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 Luca.
00:29:24This door looked like a tornado hit it.
00:29:26Man who 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 five million dollars into your personal account for prenatal care.
00:29:52I am worried about the baby's well-being.
00:29:56Luca, I'd like you to take her to the doctor tomorrow for an exam.
00:30:00No.
00:30:01That's really not necessary.
00:30:03I have those meetings in Europe, so possibly I could have some more substituting for me.
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.
00:30:29Yes, Mother.
00:30:30No.
00:30:31Ava Jackson, we're ready for you now.
00:30:47Dad should come too.
00:30:48We encourage partner participation.
00:30:51Oh, no.
00:30:52He's not.
00:30:56Would you prefer that I explain that I'm your dead husband's brother?
00:30:59That might be a bit awkward.
00:31:01Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, please come in when you're ready.
00:31:04Coming.
00:31:11If you could lift your top up slightly and lower your skirt band just a bit, we'll get started.
00:31:17First prenatal checkup together, I'm guessing.
00:31:32The baby looks perfectly healthy.
00:31:36Current length is about three inches with a strong heart rate.
00:31:40Is the baby moving?
00:31:41The 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?
00:32:21Yes.
00:32:22It's quite beneficial for fetal development.
00:32:25Come over here and place your hands on her belly.
00:32:28Doctor, is that really appropriate?
00:32:31What's inappropriate about it?
00:32:33This is what husbands do.
00:32:34I'm sorry to that.
00:32:53Did I hurt you?
00:32:54No, no.
00:32:55It just feels strange.
00:32:58Like this.
00:32:59Top to bottom, left to right, gentle strokes.
00:33:07Got it?
00:33:09Got it.
00:33:10Do this once daily, five to ten minutes each.
00:33:15You can sit up now.
00:33:17So, everything good with the baby?
00:33:27Any 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.
00:33:39Before 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.
00:34:06Miss Sofia Rossi has arrived unannounced.
00:34:10She shows up without calling?
00:34:12How gauche.
00:34:14Should we send Eva upstairs?
00:34:16No, no, it's fine.
00:34:17I'm here.
00:34:17We can just...
00:34:20Good evening, Mrs. Mancini.
00:34:24Luca, I came to personally deliver my birthday invitation.
00:34:26Okay.
00:34:31Luca, who is this woman?
00:34:33Luca, who is this woman?
00:34:35Hey, hey, hey.
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, right?
00:34:44I've heard so much about your family.
00:34:48I'm Eva, Marco's wife.
00:34:51Marco was Luca's brother.
00:34:52Oh, okay.
00:34:57I thought you were carrying Luca's baby.
00:35:00That's good, because of my smile.
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.
00:35:08Wear something sharp.
00:35:12Yes.
00:35:12See if there's any connection between that pregnant woman and Luca.
00:35:25I'm not buying this whole sister-in-law act for one second.
00:35:28You got it.
00:35:34You look so handsome.
00:35:36Well, 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.
00:36:04Besides, Luca will be with us the whole time,
00:36:08and 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?
00:36:31I can't remember.
00:36:33Right there.
00:36:45Right there.
00:36:51No problem.
00:36:52Just don't want you to fall.
00:36:53Who'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 going to marry.
00:37:16Must be his mistress.
00:37:18Oh, shameless.
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, 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?
00:37:57Look!
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?
00:38:06Ava, 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.
00:38:35I 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.
00:39:05Properly.
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.
00:39:15One chair.
00:39:28And there.
00:39:45They're definitely more than in-laws.
00:40:06Look at the way they play together.
00:40:07If I can't have him, I'll destroy them both.
00:40:15Yeah, I always enjoy these type of events.
00:40:20Me too.
00:40:20That had a school dance.
00:40:22From Miss Rossi.
00:40:24Your accompaniments.
00:40:25Cheers.
00:40:29Sir, that 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?
00:40:40Do 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.
00:41:07Okay.
00:41:07Sophia's bedroom.
00:41:32Why is Luca's phone in there?
00:41:34And why am I jealous?
00:41:35I'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.
00:42:06This isn't exactly how you wanted it.
00:42:09Not at all.
00:42:10This isn't convincing.
00:42:11Unbutton their clothes.
00:42:20Sal, 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.
00:42:34I expected much more than this is a juvenile prank from my business partner.
00:42:47Ava, wake up.
00:43:02Ava.
00:43:03Ava.
00:43:04Ava.
00:43:04Ava.
00:43:13Luca.
00:43:13Oh, my God.
00:43:19What happened to us?
00:43:25This is bad.
00:43:26If anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:43:43Luca, wake up.
00:43:48Okay.
00:43:49Okay.
00:43:51Oh, Jesus.
00:43:55People are coming.
00:43:57You'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, they'll...
00:44:07The 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?
00:44:53They're coming.
00:44:57Come on.
00:44:58Wait.
00:45:01Here, I got this one.
00:45:02Watch out.
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.
00:45:10Um, let's go through the window.
00:45:13We can climb down.
00:45:14Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:45:15No, I'm afraid of heights.
00:45:18You're what?
00:45:21Sorry.
00:45:21I just didn't realize the great Luca Mancini had fears like the rest of us.
00:45:26Yeah.
00:45:26You know, that's one of my fears, and I don't advertise it, so deal with it.
00:45:31What the hell's do?
00:45:34Miss Kelsey, where 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.
00:45:48Okay.
00:45:49Hurry, 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?
00:46:01Let's get out of here.
00:46:02No, no, no.
00:46:03No, I'll help everyone leave afterwards.
00:46:04But first, let's get a look at them.
00:46:06Come on.
00:46:09What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:46:31I am so sorry.
00:46:32It was an accident.
00:46:33Please.
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.
00:46:53Thanks.
00:46:54Thanks.
00:46:55Dammit.
00:47:25What is it?
00:47:28Uh, Miss Rossi is demanding to see you, sir. She's quite insistent.
00:47:33Okay, let her run.
00:47:38You set off the fire alarms and completely scared away my guests! You've ruined my birthday celebration!
00:47:44Hey! You will take full responsibility for what you did. The drugging, the setup, all of it.
00:48:00And if you ever threaten Ava again, directly or indirectly, I will end the Rossi family from this city permanently.
00:48:09You're a monster. That's her in there, isn't it? Ava? Your dead brother's wife? How dare you?
00:48:16Get your hands off of me! Do you know who I am?
00:48:23Oh.
00:48:36Luca?
00:48:40Luca?
00:48:47It's me, Michael.
00:48:49Ava, you're so close. Is this a dream?
00:48:55Luca, I'm your brother's wife.
00:49:01So, so this isn't a dream, but I, um... Ava, I've had feelings for you for so long.
00:49:10And I've tried to keep them a secret, but I, uh, I can't keep them to me longer.
00:49:16And now you know my two secrets, and by family code, I have to silence the person who discovers my weaknesses.
00:49:26Luca, let me go.
00:49:28No, 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.
00:49:37Look, I've never been more serious.
00:49:41Look, Ava, every time I come around you, I, I feel myself slipping.
00:49:48And my feelings have crossed that line months ago.
00:49:51Stop, stop, just stop.
00:49:56I'll forget this ever happened.
00:49:57No, Ava.
00:49:59I want to take care of you.
00:50:02And the baby.
00:50:03For the rest of my life.
00:50:12Luca, I...
00:50:16Ava.
00:50:17But you can't let me in.
00:50:20Luca, what's going on? Why isn't Ava home?
00:50:24What's going on here?
00:50:26Mom, I...
00:50:27Nothing.
00:50:29My clothes were dirty, so Luca prepared for me a shower and clean clothes.
00:50:34Oh, thank goodness.
00:50:37The last thing we need is for you to catch pneumonia.
00:50:39Yeah, I know.
00:50:41Ava, I think that we should probably...
00:50:43Luca...
00:50:44It's almost Marco's birthday.
00:50:49Let's visit his grave.
00:50:52He's your brother and my husband.
00:50:55And we don't want to betray his memory.
00:50:59Oh, you poor thing. You must be utterly exhausted.
00:51:02Let's get you home.
00:51:04These Rossi's are nothing but trouble.
00:51:07We need to accelerate our plans against them.
00:51:09Thanks.
00:51:10Let's see.
00:51:11Let's see.
00:51:12Let's see.
00:51:13Let's see.
00:51:15Let's see.
00:51:17Let's see.
00:51:19Marco...
00:51:22I miss you.
00:51:24I feel so lost without you.
00:51:28Would you hate me...
00:51:33Would you hate me if you knew I had feelings for your brother?
00:51:42Ava, are you in there?
00:51:52Ava, are you there?
00:51:54I 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.
00:52:07Ava, I love you.
00:52:23I understand how difficult this is.
00:52:26Your loyalty for Marco, and your concern for my mother, that is the compassion that, that's the reason I fell in love with you.
00:52:36There's $30 million on this credit card, and the pin number is your birthday.
00:52:44I've been through epsom flows, or this goodbye felt like the end.
00:52:50Can't deny, I can't pretend, that this fire burns again.
00:52:57Illuminated 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, no one loves me like you do.
00:53:17Thought that you and I were through, but...
00:53:20The baby's development is right on track.
00:53:29Perfect, actually.
00:53:31Has your husband been doing those tactile bonding exercises I showed you?
00:53:37Doctor, uh, actually he's not exactly my...
00:53:41Oh, you don't need to be embarrassed.
00:53:43The way that man looks at you is something special.
00:53:46Now face each other, Helena, take her hands, deep inhale, and lean into each other, using 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.
00:54:21You have anything?
00:54:22Who exactly are you welcoming home, dear daughter-in-law?
00:54:33I was just talking nonsense.
00:54:46I'll get it.
00:54:46Miss, flowers from Mr. Mancini.
00:55:16I wonder if he's doing well out there.
00:55:30I like a nervous look on your face when you're starting to think that you're talking too much.
00:55:36I like how we just met, and I'm not even slightly afraid to be opening up.
00:55:45Hello?
00:55:45Ava?
00:55:46I'm outside at the gate.
00:55:49Security won't let me in.
00:55:55Mom, what are you doing here?
00:55:56I missed you terribly, sweetheart.
00:55:59I just wanted to check on you and the baby.
00:56:05Look.
00:56:07Fresh oranges.
00:56:08Just pick today.
00:56:10You need the vitamin C for the baby's development.
00:56:13I'm on a very carefully monitored diet.
00:56:14You wasted a trip.
00:56:17Look, I know that you haven't forgiven me, but you have to understand.
00:56:25Derek 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.
00:56:38I picked these up for my grandchild.
00:56:42Aren't they precious?
00:56:44That baby that 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, and he threw me out.
00:56:57Oh, I had absolutely nothing left.
00:57:09This card contains all the money I've saved.
00:57:12It's yours.
00:57:14But 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.
00:57:25$10,000?
00:57:29That's it.
00:57:31You're carrying the Mancini air, and all they've given you is $10,000.
00:57:35That is my personal savings.
00:57:38I haven't asked the Mancinis for a cent.
00:57:40Okay, this is completely unacceptable.
00:57:45Everyone in this city knows that the Mancinis are loaded beyond belief.
00:57:50Come on.
00:57:51You need to milk this situation for all it's worth.
00:57:55Honey, I'm only thinking about your future and your security.
00:58:06I mean, what happens if they throw you out once the baby arrives?
00:58:10I didn't marry into the Mancini family for their fortune.
00:58:15And you mention their money one more time, you'll never see me again.
00:58:20Understand?
00:58:21I understand, sweetheart.
00:58:23Mom won't say another word about it.
00:58:24$10,000?
00:58:31$10,000?
00:58:32That's it?
00:58:33That's pocket change for them?
00:58:35She must be holding down on this.
00:58:36That ungrateful little brat.
00:58:41I tried everything.
00:58:43I couldn't squeeze another penny out of her.
00:58:45She's swimming in Mancini money, and we're here struggling.
00:58:49After what they did to my leg, I should be getting millions.
00:58:52Yes.
00:58:53A few million?
00:58:54It's just the beginning.
00:58:56We've been thinking too small.
00:58:57I have good reason to believe that we have a common enemy.
00:59:12I think we should work together.
00:59:13Miss Mancini has been sleeping well, sir.
00:59:21She got the prenatal vitamins you sent her, and they effectively reduced her morning sickness.
00:59:27And this morning, she ate half a slice of French toast, a half portion of scrambled eggs,
00:59:32two 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.
00:59:41It's good to hear that she's eating healthy.
00:59:42And then she finally attended the prenatal concert we arranged.
00:59:46And afterward, she spoke with one of the pianists about the compositions.
00:59:51Is it man or woman?
00:59:52Sir, per your instructions, they were all talented women.
00:59:55No exceptions.
00:59:57And she actually mentioned you today.
00:59:59While making hot chocolate, she said to the chef,
01:00:02It's never quite as good as Lucas.
01:00:05She always knows what to say.
01:00:08I'll make her a batch right now, and we can have a delivery.
01:00:11Great. I'll arrange a private courier right away.
01:00:19Luca is almost finished with his business.
01:00:22Hopefully, he will make it home in time for the birth.
01:00:24Mrs. Mancini, it's terrible news.
01:00:29Luca's jet has been destroyed amid a flight.
01:00:30He, he's missing.
01:00:32What?
01:00:34I 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 going to be fine.
01:00:45He will.
01:00:45I have Luca Mancini.
01:00:53Twenty million dollars cash for his safe return.
01:00:56No police.
01:00:57No family.
01:00:58No security team.
01:01:00You come alone, or he dies.
01:01:03You have 24 hours.
01:01:06Who?
01:01:08Oh, Ava, are you okay?
01:01:10Who was that?
01:01:12It's nothing, nothing.
01:01:13I, I'm just dizzy.
01:01:16The, the baby.
01:01:17So, I'm going to go upstairs and lie down.
01:01:20Oh, my God.
01:01:24Here.
01:01:36Luca.
01:01:38Money first.
01:01:43I'm okay.
01:01:45It's okay.
01:01:49Ow.
01:01:50You okay?
01:01:57Derek.
01:01:58Where's Luca?
01:02:00Where's Luca?
01:02:01Don't worry about Luca.
01:02:03Worry about yourself.
01:02:05No.
01:02:05No.
01:02:06No.
01:02:06No.
01:02:07No.
01:02:07No.
01:02:07No.
01:02:07No.
01:02:08No.
01:02:08No.
01:02:09No.
01:02:09No.
01:02:10No.
01:02:10No.
01:02:11No.
01:02:11No.
01:02:12No.
01:02:12No.
01:02:12No.
01:02:13No.
01:02:22Yeah.
01:02:23With her as our bargaining chip, we can demand $100,000,000 from the man she is.
01:02:31Easy.
01:02:32Mom.
01:02:33Mom, why are you doing this?
01:02:35Poor family.
01:02:36Why have you always treated me so terribly?
01:02:39Family?
01:02:40You are so pathetic.
01:02:40You just don't get it, do you?
01:02:41You're just some brat that mom found on the street that she brought home to be our living
01:02:54servant.
01:02:55Right.
01:02:56We're talking to her family abbyers today.
01:02:56barbecue.
01:02:57You're an orphan!
01:02:59Not even your birth mother wanted you!
01:03:02Yeah.
01:03:03We brought you in.
01:03:04We fed you.
01:03:05We clothed you.
01:03:06And in return, your life belongs to us.
01:03:10Oh, and by the way, since we're being honest with each other right now, 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 in all these years.
01:03:26You know what? Even though you're nothing but a bunch of orphan trash, you're actually very beautiful.
01:03:41So since we're giving up this whole brother-sister roleplay thing, I don't want to do something that I've wanted to do for a very, very long time.
01:03:55Stop, Derek, you're sick!
01:03:58Shh!
01:04:01Now let's just keep that pretty little mouth of yours quiet, shall we?
01:04:11You fucking bitch!
01:04:25Oh God, you're alive! You're okay!
01:04:37Stop! Stop! Stop!
01:04:43Stop! Stop!
01:04:46My plane blew up. Ava gets kidnapped. This isn't a coincidence. Who are you looking for? Answer me!
01:04:57Hey, make them stop! He's your brother! You'll kill him!
01:05:01You just told me I'm an orphan, so he's not really my little brother. You better tell me who your accomplices are, or he stops breathing.
01:05:08You two should be ashamed of yourselves.
01:05:11Yeah, I see the way that you look at each other. He's your dead husband's brother!
01:05:16You're betraying Marco and his mother!
01:05:23Are you alright? Hey, hey, hey, hey, you okay?
01:05:25Yeah, yeah.
01:05:26Your mom has been so kind to me, and I dragged her into this mess. It's on my floor.
01:05:33Your mother-in-law took you in. She treated you like a daughter. She gave you everything that you could ever want, and this is how you repay her? By falling for her younger son?
01:05:43Have you already forgotten Marco and his grave? What is wrong with you?
01:05:52I want her as my daughter-in-law. First my eldest son's wife, and now my youngest.
01:06:01Object to them, and you'll lose your tongue.
01:06:13You couldn't have Luca, so you decided to try and kill him? Good thing he changed his flight plan at the last minute, hmm?
01:06:26Cross the Mancini's, and you cease to exist.
01:06:31Release me! My father will burn your empire to the ground!
01:06:34Don't you wonder why my son was gone all that time? Your family's power? Already gone.
01:06:48You two have risked everything to be together. I can see that Luca's devotion is absolute.
01:07:10You have endured far too much pain. It's time to let him take care of you.
01:07:19But, Marco, I made a promise to him.
01:07:23And Marco would want your happiness above all else. He will rest easier, knowing that we are protecting you and your child.
01:07:37From this moment forward, I swear to you, nobody will ever hurt you again.
01:07:50Luca, you're bleeding.
01:07:55You gotta keep this clean.
01:07:57Yeah.
01:07:58Infections can get nasty.
01:08:01Okay.
01:08:02So you're saying that you care about me, then?
01:08:06Shut up.
01:08:08Of course I care.
01:08:13Alright.
01:08:15Wait.
01:08:17Okay.
01:08:18I think he likes you.
01:08:33Yeah?
01:08:34Ava, I will take care of you.
01:08:51And the baby.
01:08:53Just like my brother would have.
01:08:55I brought some fruit for you and the-
01:08:59Luca.
01:09:01She's pregnant.
01:09:03Be gentle with her.
01:09:08I 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.
01:09:20Oh my god.
01:09:21Come here.
01:09:22Come here.
01:09:23Come here.
01:09:24Come here.
01:09:29What is taking so long?
01:09:31Is 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.
01:09:44What can we do now?
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, yes, we'll do anything.
01:09:53Money's no object.
01:09:54Just help her.
01:09:56Some intimate touches can help her relax and feel better.
01:10:04Right here.
01:10:06Right here.
01:10:07Yes.
01:10:08Yes.
01:10:12Mom, I can't.
01:10:13I can't.
01:10:14Just whip it out.
01:10:16Don't.
01:10:17Hurry it up.
01:10:38I 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.
01:11:03I know.
01:11:04I know.
01:11:05No.
01:11:06Yes.
01:11:07You okay?
01:11:08Doctor, please!
01:11:09Doctor, please!
01:11:16One, two, three, push.
01:11:19One, two, three, push!
01:11:21Okay, push.
01:11:23Push, push!
01:11:25Push…
01:11:26Hey, how are you feeling?
01:11:44Good.
01:11:45Want something to eat?
01:11:47Okay.
01:11:48Okay.
01:11:53I thought this hospital was the best that money can buy.
01:11:56I guess I was misinformed.
01:11:59Look, they're doing the best they can.
01:12:02Let's not terrorize the staff.
01:12:06Look, I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:11You know what, tear me apart?
01:12:20Luca, remember to control yourself, son.
01:12:25Let her recover first.
01:12:32And have you decided what to name this little prince?
01:12:42Marco.
01:12:45Marco.
01:12:45I want to name him Marco.
01:12:47Look, little one, it's your daddy, your real daddy.
01:13:17It's remarkable how much he looks like.
01:13:24Marco, I thought you had all the answers, and that you handle everything.
01:13:32And 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 watch the dandelion.
01:13:52And if the seeds blew out easily, then they were thinking of you, too.
01:13:57I hear you on the radio.
01:14:04I hear you on the radio.
01:14:11I hear you on the radio.
01:14:23Miss, Mrs. Mancini's wedding gifts, the finest villas, the Mancini family jewelry, and finally, 30% ownership of Mancini group holdings, effective immediately.
01:14:38This ring has been in the Mancini family for seven generations, passed from mother to daughter-in-law.
01:14:55Thank you, woman.
01:15:02A perfect fit.
01:15:04Now, I need the two of you to focus on your top priority.
01:15:21Top priority.
01:15:22Um, top priority.
01:15:23Giving me a granddaughter to play with little Marco Jr.
01:15:28Mom, we're at a church, and there are witnesses.
01:15:34Whew!
01:15:35dingen
01:15:36pyramids
01:15:37There are witnesses!
