Transcript
00:00:00Master Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson, and she was carrying his child.
00:00:07I'm going to 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 it in her.
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.
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 retreat.
00:01:57Luca, look at her.
00:01:59She's hardly a threat.
00:02:01For the flowers, and for the interruption, my apologies.
00:02:15Signor Mancini, Master Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson.
00:02:27And she was carrying his child.
00:02:29Get the car.
00:02:31Let me bring my daughter-in-law home, where she belongs.
00:02:36Don't worry, little one.
00:02:45We'll get through this together.
00:02:48Somehow.
00:02:52Well, looky here.
00:02:54The family jinx is finally six feet under.
00:02:57Derek, have you lost your mind?
00:03:07What the hell was that?
00:03:09Don't tell me that you're actually planning on keeping that little parasite.
00:03:13This is Marco's baby.
00:03:16This is our child.
00:03:18Of course I'm keeping it.
00:03:20Ever since you got knocked up, you've done nothing to help this family.
00:03:24Charlie, we've been struggling while you've been out here playing the grieving widow.
00:03:28Give me one good reason why I should get rid of this baby.
00:03:34Because you owe me.
00:03:37This is your fault.
00:03:40I dropped out of college for this family.
00:03:43I took five jobs.
00:03:44What more could you possibly want?
00:03:45It'll never be enough, Ava.
00:03:47You'll owe us till the day you die.
00:03:50Please, sweetheart.
00:03:53Think of your brother.
00:03:58I'm gonna stomp out that little bastard right now.
00:04:01Send him straight to hell.
00:04:03So he can say hello to his deadbeat dad.
00:04:06Hex!
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.
00:04:34Marco was my oldest.
00:04:35He was my golden boy.
00:04:36I am so sorry that he concealed his identity from you.
00:04:40You have endured far too much suffering because of it.
00:04:41I am so sorry that he concealed his identity from you.
00:04:42You have endured far too much suffering because of it.
00:04:44I am so sorry that he concealed his identity from you.
00:04:46You have endured far too much suffering because of it.
00:04:48Plain make-believe, Mancini.
00:04:49I am.
00:04:50I am.
00:04:51I am.
00:04:52I am.
00:04:53I am so sorry that he concealed his identity from you.
00:04:54I am.
00:04:55I am.

00:05:15I am.
00:05:16Excuse me?
00:05:17Like, is anybody here actually buying this?
00:05:18Question my identity again and my men will make sure your other leg looks like your first
00:05:24one.
00:05:25Permanently.
00:05:27What are you doing?!
00:05:28Derek, run!
00:05:30Then maybe we should just go.
00:05:33One moment here.
00:05:35Anyone who raises a hand to my daughter-in-law deserves to have their fingers snapped.
00:05:42One by one.
00:05:45What come along let's get you home to your real home
00:06:15Welcome home, Signora Ava Mancini. This is where Marco lived and now it's your home too.
00:06:30Allow me to introduce you to your personal staff, Mrs. Mancini, your nutritionist, nanny, maternity nurse, each the finest specialist money can acquire.
00:06:39We pledge your absolute dedication to your health and well-being, Signora.
00:06:45Your days of working multiple jobs are over, my dear.
00:06:49Ten million dollars is a little spending money.
00:06:53Thank you, but I can't accept this.
00:06:57I married Marco for love, not for his fortune.
00:07:01Practical 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. The brooding iceberg that you encountered this morning.
00:07:18Well, well, well.
00:07:20Is this a flower girl?
00:07:22In the cemetery.
00:07:24Luca, come meet Ava, your brother's wife. Please, show her proper...
00:07:30Respect!
00:07:34You walk back into a Mancini household?
00:07:38You're either incredibly stupid or incredibly brave.
00:07:42Luca, open this door immediately!
00:07:46Everyone around back, now!
00:07:50Who are you, really?
00:07:54I'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?
00:08:08Was this your end game all along? Our 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?
00:08:35Question the line you want, but don't you dare question my child.
00:08:41That's my girl!
00:08:43Backbone of steel!
00:08:45Are you hurt?
00:08:47Luca!
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 gonna take you and get some clothes.
00:08:57Pay no attention to this fool.
00:08:59You may be fooling them.
00:09:04But 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 a Lucas card.
00:09:35Treat my dear daughter-in-law well.
00:09:38Let's go!
00:09:39Treat my
00:09:51Check!
00:09:52Check!
00:09:53Check!
00:09:54Check!
00:09:56Check!
00:09:57Oh, isn't she gorgeous?
00:10:20She's adequate.
00:10:24Always the tough guy act with you.
00:10:27Your 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?
00:10:40Mom?
00:10:42That'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.
00:10:54And don't worry, he's actually quite a softy.
00:10:58Now, shall we continue shopping?
00:11:00Yes.
00:11:01Yes.
00:11:06Sir?
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 swooned the dollar 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.
00:11:29Everything!
00:11:30If she is playing us for fools, then I will personally ensure that she regrets ever hearing the name Mancino.
00:11:37Mancino.
00:11:46I'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.
00:12:04Marco, 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?
00:12:34Hello?
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?
00:12:59What's going on?
00:13:01Eva, 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.
00:13:22That old loan shark's willing to give us $80,000 just to marry you.
00:13:31Are you insane?
00:13:34I'm pregnant.
00:13:35Your husband's dead, Eva.
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.
00:13:44You 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!
00:13:58Ava is in danger.
00:14:13We need to move.
00:14:14Go, go, go!
00:14:15You 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.
00:14:59Uh, pennies for somebody of your wealth.
00:15:01Derek, you're sick!
00:15:02I'm your sister!
00:15:03This is your nephew!
00:15:04My son's future is more important to me than that stupid little bastard of yours!
00:15:09Hey, hey!
00:15:10No need to be so rough with such a beautiful lady.
00:15:14Now, dear, just take this right here, and it'll make things easier for everybody.
00:15:23Oh, okay!
00:15:24You're a little feisty, I see.
00:15:29Maybe you just need a little personal attention.
00:15:35Get 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?
00:16:05I'm looking at Mancini.
00:16:09Mancini!
00:16:10You idiot!
00:16:11You killed me!
00:16:12How 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.
00:16:27Y-yes!
00:16:28Y-yes, it's true!
00:16:29I swear!
00:16:30We-we didn't know!
00:16:31Please, please!
00:16:32You will be dealt with.
00:16:34Penfold.
00:16:35What you did to Ava.
00:16:39Get a doctor!
00:16:41Get a doctor!
00:16:42Get a car!
00:16:43And deal with him!
00:16:45But nuts.

00:22:57i've seen your sales record
00:22:59i know you can do it
00:23:01i know you're going to be a big deal
00:23:11i know i think so
00:23:12i can't tell you
00:23:14what i can do
00:23:16i think you can do it
00:23:18Sir, half an hour until closing and Mrs. Mancini has already surpassed the store's average
00:23:47monthly sales in a single day, but she's still a great deal short of the manager's impossible
00:23:53target.
00:23:57She did make it clear that she doesn't want any special treatment, but I have been neglecting
00:24:02my own wardrobe, and the Rossley family event will require several new suits.
00:24:07Now 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?
00:24:18Sir, 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.
00:24:28Sir, 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.
00:24:38I hear her taste in men's fashion is exceptional.
00:24:45Shall we begin?
00:24:46Right this way, sir.
00:24:53Alright, I just need to take your measurements.
00:24:55Whoa, what are you doing?
00:24:58Can you measure me like this?
00:25:00I just needed you to take the jacket off.
00:25:04Well, we don't have much time.
00:25:11Just, just me.
00:25:13I know.
00:25:19Now, measure me like this.
00:25:22I know.
00:25:23I know.
00:25:24I know.
00:25:26Okay.
00:25:27Mm-hmm.
00:25:28I know.
00:25:50Ava, time is almost up.
00:25:58I know.
00:26:09I did it.
00:26:10I saved my job.
00:26:11And 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 help.
00:26:22I hate to do this, but Ava Jackson, you're fired.
00:26:29What?
00:26:31No.
00:26:32I met your target and then some.
00:26:34Oh.
00:26:35That last sale?
00:26:36The one that put you over the top?
00:26:38That 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.
00:26:51I get it.
00:26:53You threatened them into silence.
00:26:54Well, that won't work either.
00:26:56Because the security cameras caught everything.
00:27:00Security cameras.
00:27:09What horrible timing.
00:27:11Unfortunately, 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?
00:27:24Yeah, we all saw it.
00:27:26So someone should call security.
00:27:28Better yet, call the police.
00:27:29Call 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.
00:27:46Are you?
00:27:48Luca Mancini?
00:27:49Luca Mancini?
00:27:55Is it Luca?
00:28:39Please stop. I admit it. I was wrong.
00:28:47Who really damaged the merchandise in this store?
00:28:49The items that you destroyed are worth over several millions of dollars at five years in prison.
00:28:58Luca, 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.
00:29:04Mom, cut this door.
00:29:09How 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.
00:29:22It'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.
00:29:35Sweetheart, 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.
00:29:46Yes, Mommy.
00:29:47I 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, that's really not necessary.
00:30:06I have those meetings in Europe, so possibly I could have somebody to tune in.
00:30:11Yeah, and I'm perfectly capable of going by myself.
00:30:14I don't want to travel, Luca, with something so routine.
00:30:19It'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.
00:31:02Mr. 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.
00:31:17First 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?
00:31:42Yes, indeed.
00:31:44Look there.
00:31:46The little one's making faces.
00:31:49Quite the expressive child already.
00:31:56Dad, don't you want to come take a look?
00:31:59The 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.
00:32:20Tactile 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.
00:32:38Okay.
00:32:39I'm sorry, did I hurt you?
00:32:54No, no, it just feels strange.
00:32:58Like this.
00:32:59Top to bottom, left to right.
00:33:03Gentle strokes.
00:33:07Got it?
00:33:09Got it.
00:33:11Do this once daily, five to ten minutes each.
00:33:16You can sit up now.
00:33:25So, 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.
00:33:39Good news, then.
00:33:42Before I forget, the Rossi family's daughter is having her birthday celebration next weekend, and we should all attend.
00:33:51The Rossi family?
00:33:52Technically, 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.
00:34:05Mom, please.
00:34:06Miss Sofia Rossi has arrived unannounced.
00:34:10She shows up without calling?
00:34:12How gauche.
00:34:15Should we send Ava upstairs?
00:34:16No, no, it's fine.
00:34:17I'm here.
00:34:18We can just...
00:34:18Good evening, Mrs. Mancini.
00:34:24Luca!
00:34:25I came to personally deliver my birthday invitation.
00:34:27Okay.
00:34:31Luca, who is this woman?
00:34:34Luca, who is this woman?
00:34:35Hey, hey, Rossi'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.
00:34:49I'm Ava, Marco's wife.
00:34:51Marco was Luca's brother.
00:34:56Oh, okay.
00:34:58I thought you were carrying Luca's baby.
00:35:00That's good, because Luca's wife.
00:35:02I came all this way to bring you that, and this is how you welcome me?
00:35:07Don't disappoint me at the party, darling.
00:35:09Wear something sharp.
00:35:12Yes.
00:35:22See if there's any connection between that pregnant woman and Luca.
00:35:25I'm not buying this whole sister-in-law act for one second.
00:35:29You got it.
00:35:29Oh, you look so handsome.
00:35:39Well, well, well.
00:35:41It looks like my stubborn son has good taste after all.
00:35:45Luca did an excellent job selecting this gown.
00:35:48It 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.
00:36:03You are my pride and joy.
00:36:05Besides, 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?
00:36:16How could you forget something so basic?
00:36:17How could you forget something so basic?
00:36:17Right there.
00:36:50No 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, sure.
00:37:19Everyone, I would like to introduce Ava Mancini.
00:37:23My eldest son, Marco's wife.
00:37:25Marco'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!
00:37:36Maybe we shouldn't cause a scene here.
00:37:41It's fine.
00:37:42She'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.
00:38:21I've forgotten everything that you've taught me.
00:38:23There's no way she could actually play.
00:38:26She's just a nobody from nowhere.
00:38:28He has to be setting her own.
00:38:30Even Miss Mancini is smiling.
00:38:32Just waiting for her to crash and burn.
00:38:53I was just playing for the baby.
00:38:56I think he recognized the music you were playing for us earlier.
00:39:01Well, maybe you should teach me sometime. Properly.
00:39:05I'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.
00:39:23One, two, and there.
00:39:53The Room
00:40:04They'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.
00:40:12Yeah, I always enjoy these type of events.
00:40:20Me too.
00:40:21That habit's good.
00:40:22From Miss Rossi, your accompanist.
00:40:25Cheers.
00:40:30Sir, that drink is almost certainly drugged.
00:40:33Obviously.
00:40:34Is the Rossi family making a move against us?
00:40:36These tensions have been simmering for years.
00:40:39Should we respond preemptively?
00:40:42Do nothing.
00:40:46You just need to focus on protecting Ava.
00:40:48We'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.
00:41:02Why don't you try to find Luca and let's get you home.
00:41:12Sofía's bedroom.
00:41:15Why is Luca's phone in there?
00:41:16And why am I jealous?
00:41:17Sophia's bedroom. Why is Luca's phone in there? And why am I jealous?
00:41:47I've wanted Luca for years. And then you waltz in and get his attention in weeks? You won't
00:42:01look 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? Not at all. This isn't convincing. Unbutton their
00:42:12clothes. Sal, position them closer together. Make it look more intimate. Perfect. Let's
00:42:29go. Our masterpiece is complete. Now we just have to bring in an audience.
00:42:42I expected much more than just this juvenile prank from my business partner.
00:42:59Ava, wake up. Ava. Ava.
00:43:04Oh, my God. What happened to us? This is bad.
00:43:26Oh, my God. If anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:43:43Luca, wake up.
00:43:45Okay.
00:43:48Okay.
00:43:52Oh!
00:43:53Oh!
00:43:54Jesus.
00:43:56People are coming.
00:43:57You're acting like we had some tour de faire. We didn't do anything wrong, so why are you
00:44:01worrying?
00:44:02I'm your late brother's widow and I'm carrying his child. If anyone sees us like this, the
00:44:07Mancini family name will be destroyed.
00:44:09Okay.
00:44:10Okay.
00:44:11Oh, so, Mancini name is what you're concerned about. Is that it?
00:44:17Hey, hey, hey. You haven't answered.
00:44:23Thank you all so much for coming today to celebrate me, but I do have some rather important information
00:44:30to share with you all. I have just discovered Luca Mancini in a rather compromising position
00:44:38with his brother's pregnant widow in my bedroom.
00:44:52Can you let go?
00:44:56They're coming. Come here.
00:44:57Okay.
00:45:01Here, I got the sweatshop.
00:45:02Wait, stop!
00:45:03What?
00:45:04They're right there!
00:45:05If we walk through that door, we'll walk right into their trap.
00:45:07Okay, then what's your brilliant idea?
00:45:09Yes, ma'am?
00:45:10Um, we...
00:45:12Let's go through the window. We can climb down.
00:45:14Whoa, whoa, whoa, no. I'm afraid of heights.
00:45:17You're what?
00:45:20Sorry, I just didn't realize the great Luca Mancini had fears like the rest of us.
00:45:25Yeah, you know, that's one of my fears, and I don't advertise it, so deal with it.
00:45:31What the hell, Steve?
00:45:34Let's go see, where are these cheaters you promised to expose?
00:45:37Shh, keep it down, you idiot. You don't want to wake them.
00:45:40I mean, we don't want to alert them to give them a chance to escape.
00:45:45They're coming. Let's go.
00:45:48Okay.
00:45:49Hurry, hurry.
00:45:50No, no, no, no, don't run. We have to catch them in the act first.
00:45:56Are you insane? Your house is on fire.
00:45:59Who cares about the gossip? Let's get out of here.
00:46:01No, no, no, no, no. I'll help everyone leave afterwards.
00:46:04But first, let's get a look at them. Come on.
00:46:06What the hell do you think you're doing? I am so sorry. It was an accident, please.
00:46:21You okay? Yeah.
00:46:23The staff prepared everything for you, and there's hot water in there.
00:46:27And what about you?
00:46:29We'll just be out here, taking guard for you. Now go on. It's warm.
00:46:30Thanks.
00:46:31Thanks.
00:46:32Thanks.
00:46:33Thanks.
00:46:34Thanks.
00:46:35Thanks.
00:46:36Thanks.
00:46:38Thanks.
00:46:39Thanks.
00:47:07Thanks.
00:47:08Thanks.
00:47:09Thanks.
00:47:10Thanks.
00:47:11Thanks.
00:47:12What is it?
00:47:14Ah, Miss Rossi's demanding to see you, sir. She's quite insistent.
00:47:20Okay, let her run.
00:47:25You see?
00:47:26What is it?
00:47:27Miss Rossi is demanding to see you, sir. She's quite insistent.
00:47:32Okay, let her run.
00:47:35You set off the fire alarms and completely scared away my guests!
00:47:42You've ruined my birthday celebration!
00:47:54Hey!
00:47:55You will take full responsibility for what you did.
00:47:58The drugging, the setup, all of it.
00:48:01And if you ever threaten Ava again, directly or indirectly,
00:48:06I will end the Rossi family from this city permanently.
00:48:10You're a monster.
00:48:11That's her in there, isn't it?
00:48:13Ava?
00:48:14Your dead brother's wife?
00:48:16How dare you?
00:48:17Take the word.
00:48:18Get your hands off of me!
00:48:20Do you know who I am?
00:48:31Ava?
00:48:37Luka?
00:48:48Luka.
00:48:49It's me.
00:48:50Luka.
00:48:51It's me, Luka.
00:48:52Eva, you're so close.
00:48:53Is this a dream?
00:48:54Luca, I'm your brother's wife
00:49:03So this isn't a dream play
00:49:05Ava, I've had feelings for you for so long
00:49:11I've tried to keep them a secret
00:49:13But I can't keep them any longer
00:49:16And now you know my two secrets
00:49:20And by family code
00:49:21I have to silence
00:49:24The person who discovers my weaknesses
00:49:26Oh my god, let me go
00:49:29No, no, no, but I can't silence you
00:49:31Because 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
00:49:45I feel myself slipping
00:49:48And 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
00:49:59I want to take care of you
00:50:03And the baby
00:50:04For the rest of my life
00:50:05Luca, what's going on?
00:50:22Why isn't Ava home?
00:50:26What's going on here?
00:50:27Mom, I...
00:50:29Nothing
00:50:29My clothes were dirty
00:50:31So 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...
00:50:45Luca
00:50:45It's almost Marco's birthday
00:50:49Let's visit his grave
00:50:51He's your brother and my husband
00:50:55And we don't want to betray his memory
00:50:59Oh, you poor thing
00:51:01You must be utterly exhausted
00:51:02Let's get you home
00:51:04These Rossis are nothing but trouble
00:51:07We need to accelerate our plans against them
00:51:10It's fine
00:51:22Michael
00:51:23What?
00:51:24I miss you.
00:51:28I feel so lost without you.
00:51:34Would you hate me if you knew I had feelings for your brother?
00:51:43Ava, are you in there?
00:51:45I meant everything that I said today and 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.
00:52:15I understand how difficult this is.
00:52:28Your loyalty for Marco and your concern for my mother, that is the compassion that, that's the reason I fell in love with you.
00:52:37There's 30 million dollars on this credit card.
00:52:43And the pin number is your birthday.
00:52:45Been through epsom flows.
00:52:47Our last goodbye felt like the end.
00:52:50Can't deny, I can't pretend.
00:52:53That this fire burns again.
00:52:57Illuminated rain.
00:53:00I feel alive.
00:53:02One more time our worlds collide.
00:53:05Watch them circling in the sky.
00:53:08We are magnetic sides.
00:53:12I'm falling into you.
00:53:13Wait for me.
00:53:14No one loves me like you do.
00:53:17Thought that you and I were through, but...
00:53:26The baby's development is right on track.
00:53:30Perfect, actually.
00:53:32Has your husband been doing those tactile bonding exercises I showed you?
00:53:37Doctor.
00:53:39Actually, he's not exactly my...
00:53:41Oh, no need to be embarrassed.
00:53:43The way that man looks at you is something special.
00:53:46Now 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.
00:54:03Come up.
00:54:05Come up.
00:54:10On the exhale, do a gentle squat.
00:54:16And then share and embrace.
00:54:19You have anything?
00:54:20Who exactly are you welcoming home, dear daughter-in-law?
00:54:34I was just talking nonsense.
00:54:36Nonsense.
00:54:46I'll get it.
00:54:52Miss, flowers from Mr. Mancini.
00:54:57Thank you, darling.
00:54:58Thank you, everyone.
00:54:59Thank you so much.
00:55:00I need you to take the next day.
00:55:03Thanks, everybody.
00:55:04Thank you, everyone.
00:55:05And, I'm here.
00:55:06Thanks, everyone.
00:55:07Let's see.
00:55:10I wonder if he's doing well out there.
00:55:40Hello, Ava, I'm outside at the gate.
00:55:50Security won't let me in.
00:55:55Mom, what are you doing here?
00:55:58I missed you terribly, sweetheart.
00:56:00I just wanted to check on you and the baby.
00:56:06Look, fresh oranges, just pick today.
00:56:11You need the vitamin C for the baby's development.
00:56:13I'm on a very carefully monitored diet.
00:56:17You wasted a trip.
00:56:21Look, I know that you haven't forgiven me, but you have to understand.
00:56:27Derek and Sarah, I mean, they would have thrown me out on the street if I didn't go along with them.
00:56:33I mean, what choice did I have?
00:56:35That's not rehash the past.
00:56:38Of course.
00:56:40I picked these up for my grandchild.
00:56:43Aren't they precious?
00:56:46That baby that you're carrying is my family, too.
00:56:50I love them so much already.
00:56:53Look, I stood up for you to Derek and he threw me out.
00:56:58I had absolutely nothing left.
00:57:10This card contains all the money I've saved.
00:57:13It's yours.
00:57:14But you have to promise me that you'll use it for yourself.
00:57:17Not a penny goes to Derek.
00:57:19Okay.
00:57:20I swear it.
00:57:21Not a cent to him.
00:57:22How much money are we talking about?
00:57:24Ten thousand dollars.
00:57:26Ten thousand?
00:57:29That's it.
00:57:31You're carrying the Mancini heir and all they've given you is ten thousand dollars.
00:57:36That is my personal savings.
00:57:39I haven't asked the Mancini's for a cent.
00:57:41This is completely unacceptable.
00:57:45Everyone in this city knows that the Mancini's are loaded beyond belief.
00:57:50Come on.
00:57:51You need to milk this situation for all it's worth.
00:57:54Honey, I'm only thinking about your future and your security.
00:58:07I mean, what happens if they throw you out once the baby arrives?
00:58:11I 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.
00:58:20Understood?
00:58:21I understand, sweetheart.
00:58:23Mom won't say another word about it.
00:58:31Ten thousand dollars?
00:58:32That's it?
00:58:33That's pocket change for them.
00:58:35She must be holding down on this.
00:58:39That ungrateful little brat.
00:58:42I tried everything.
00:58:44I couldn't squeeze another penny out of her.
00:58:46She's swimming in Mancini money and we're here struggling.
00:58:49After what they did to my leg, I should be getting millions.
00:58:52A few million?
00:58:53Yes.
00:58:54A few million?
00:58:55It'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.
00:58:59I think we should work together.
00:59:00Um, Miss Mancini has been sleeping well, sir.
00:59:04Uh, she got the prenatal vitamins you sent her and they effectively reduced her morning sickness.
00:59:05And this morning, she ate half a slice of french toast, a half portion of scrambled eggs, two cherry tomatoes, and a glass of milk.
00:59:10And after some gentle persuasion from your mother.
00:59:11And after some gentle persuasion from your mother, she also had a piece of steak for the
00:59:15iron content.
00:59:16Oh.
00:59:17It's good to hear that she's eating healthy.
00:59:18And then she finally attended the prenatal concert we arranged.
00:59:19And afterward, she spoke with one of my friends.
00:59:20Um, Miss Mancini has been sleeping well, sir.
00:59:22Uh, she got the prenatal vitamins you sent her and they effectively reduced her morning
00:59:26sickness.
00:59:27And this morning, she ate half a slice of french toast, a half portion of scrambled eggs, two
00:59:32cherry 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.
00:59:40Oh.
00:59:41It's good to hear that she's eating healthy.
00:59:43And then she finally attended the prenatal concert we arranged.
00:59:47And 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.
00:59:56And she actually mentioned you today.
00:59:59While making hot chocolate, she said to the chef,
01:00:02it's never quite as good as Luca's.
01:00:05She always knows what to say.
01:00:08I'll make her a batch right now and 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, he will make it home in time for the birth.
01:00:27Mrs. Mancini, the terrible news.
01:00:29Luca's jet has been destroyed in mid-flight heat.
01:00:31He's missing.
01:00:33What?
01:00:34I want every detail immediately.
01:00:36Yes, ma'am.
01:00:39Eva, breathe.
01:00:40Breathe.
01:00:41Don't panic.
01:00:42Don't panic.
01:00:43Luca has always been lucky.
01:00:44He's gonna be fine.
01:00:45He will.
01:00:51Hello?
01:00:52I have Luca Mancini.
01:00:5320 million dollars cash for his safe return.
01:00:56No police, no family, no security team.
01:01:00You come alone or he dies.
01:01:03You have 24 hours.
01:01:05Oh, Eva.
01:01:06Are you okay?
01:01:07Who was that?
01:01:08It's nothing.
01:01:09Nothing.
01:01:10I'm just dizzy.
01:01:11The baby.
01:01:12So I'm gonna go upstairs and lie down.
01:01:13Okay.
01:01:14Here.
01:01:15Great.
01:01:16Here.
01:01:17You're welcome.
01:01:18Okay.
01:01:19I'm just dizzy.
01:01:20The baby.
01:01:21So I'm gonna go upstairs and lie down.
01:01:22All right.
01:01:23Come on.
01:01:24Here.
01:01:25Hi.
01:01:26Hi.
01:01:27Bill.
01:01:28Welcome.
01:01:29Money first.
01:01:30Oh, my God.
01:01:37Money first.
01:01:48Ow!
01:01:51You okay?
01:01:54Derek, where's Luke?
01:01:58Where's Luke?
01:02:00Where's Luke?
01:02:02Don't worry about Luke.
01:02:04Worry about yourself.
01:02:22Yeah, with her as our bargaining chip
01:02:26we can demand a hundred million dollars from the manpiece.
01:02:32Easy.
01:02:34Mom, why are you doing this?
01:02:36Poor family. Why have you always treated me so terribly?
01:02:44Family? You are so pathetic.
01:02:48You just don't get it, do you?
01:02:50You're just some brat that Mom found on the street that she brought home to be our living servant.
01:02:56What are you talking about?
01:02:57You're an orphan!
01:02:58Not even your birth mother wanted you.
01:03:02Yeah, we brought you in.
01:03:04We fed you.
01:03:06We clothed you.
01:03:08And in return, your life belongs to us.
01:03:12Oh, and by the way, since we're being honest with each other right now, my whole leg injury, it's kind of my fault.
01:03:20But it was a great excuse to get you to basically give up your life and be our slave all these years.
01:03:32You know what?
01:03:34Even though you're nothing but a bunch of orphan trash, you're actually very beautiful.
01:03:42So 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.
01:03:57Stop, Derek, you're sick!
01:03:59Shhhhhh!
01:04:00Shhhhhh!
01:04:01Shhhhhh!
01:04:02Shhhhhh!

01:10:55Never been together?
01:10:57Then how could she be?
01:10:59The child is my late son's.
01:11:02Luca's brother.
01:11:06You okay?

01:11:40Hey.
01:11:43Hi.
01:11:44How you feeling?
01:11:45Good.
01:11:46Want something to eat?
01:11:48I'm okay.
01:11:49Okay.
01:11:54I thought this hospital was the best that money can buy.
01:11:57I guess I was misinformed.
01:11:59Luca, they're doing the best they can.
01:12:03Let's not terrorize the staff.
01:12:05Look, I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:12You know what, tear me apart?
01:12:20Luca, remember to control yourself, son.
01:12:26Let her recover first.
01:12:28And have you decided what to name this little prince?
01:12:43Marco.
01:12:46Marco.
01:12:46I want to name him Marco.
01:12:47Look, little one.
01:13:13It's your daddy.
01:13:15Your real daddy.
01:13:16It's remarkable how much he looks like.
01:13:24Marco.
01:13:26I thought you had all the answers.
01:13:29And that you handle everything.
01:13:32And I promise to protect mom.
01:13:36The business.
01:13:38And your family.
01:13:42Our family.
01:13:42You know, Marco used to say that if you wanted to think about somebody, you would watch the dandelion.
01:13:53And if the seeds blew out easily, then they were thinking of you, too.
01:13:56I hear you on the radio.
01:14:01I hear you on the radio.
01:14:03On the radio.
01:14:05Who is a man?
01:14:11Yes.
01:14:20I hear you on the radio.
01:14:28the Mancini family jewelry, and finally, 30% ownership 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.
01:14:52Thank you, Mama.
01:15:02A perfect fit.
01:15:04A perfect fit.
01:15:16Now, I need the two of you to focus on your top priority.
01:15:22Um, top priority?
01:15:24Giving me a granddaughter to play with little Marco Jr.
01:15:30Mom, we're at a church.
01:15:33And you're a witness.
