Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Master Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson, and she was carrying his child.
00:00:07I'm gonna bring my daughter-in-law home, where she belongs.
00:00:12My brother, I will protect your legacy, and I will protect our family.
00:00:18Who are you, really?
00:00:21A mere day she has swung with our family out of millions of dollars.
00:00:26I've wanted Luca for years, and then you waltz in and get his attention in weeks.
00:00:31If I can't have him, I'll destroy him 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.
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!
00:01:52Who are you?
00:01:53Which family do you work for?
00:01:54I just came to drop off the flowers.
00:01:56I didn't mean to retreat.
00:01:57Luca, look at her.
00:01:59She's hardly a threat.
00:02:00For 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.
00:02:31I'll never 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?
00:03:08Don'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.
00:03:18Of course I'm keeping it.
00:03:20Ever 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.
00:03:34Because 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?
00:03:45You'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.
00:04:08Hex!
00:04:23What?
00:04:24What the hell is going on here?
00:04:25Who the hell are you people?
00:04:26Ava, right?
00:04:27You were here this morning.
00:04:28Enough, Luca.
00:04:29She's hardly up here.
00:04:30Ma'am?
00:04:31I'm Helena Mancini.
00:04:32Marco's mother.
00:04:33That means I'm your baby's grandmother.
00:04:34The 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.
00:05:09Plain make-believe Mancini?
00:05:14Seriously, like is anybody here actually buying this?
00:05:17Question my identity again and my men will make sure your other leg looks like your first one.
00:05:24Permanently.
00:05:26What are you doing?
00:05:28Derek, run!
00:05:29Maybe we should just go.
00:05:31One moment here.
00:05:34Anyone who raises a hand to my daughter-in-law deserves to have their fingers snapped.
00:05:41One by one.
00:05:45Come along, my dear.
00:05:48Let's get you home.
00:05:50Let's get you home.
00:05:51To your real home.
00:06:15Welcome home, Senora Eva Mancini.
00:06:18This is where Marco lived.
00:06:22And now, it's your baby too.
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.
00:06:39We pledge your absolute dedication to your health and well-being, Senora.
00:06:42Your days of working multiple jobs are over, my dear.
00:06:49Ten million dollars is a little spending money.
00:06:51Well, thank you, but I can't accept this.
00:06:56I 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.
00:07:15The brooding iceberg that you encountered this morning.
00:07:18Well, well, well.
00:07:20There's a flower girl in the cemetery.
00:07:23Luca!
00:07:24Come meet Eva, your brother's wife.
00:07:27Please, show her proper-
00:07:29Respect!
00:07:33You walk back into a Mancini household?
00:07:38You're either incredibly stupid or incredibly brave.
00:07:41Luca!
00:07:42Open this door immediately!
00:07:46Everyone around back, now!
00:07:51Who are you, really?
00:07:54I'll be watching your every move, your every breath.
00:08:00So tell me, who are you, really?
00:08:05My 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.
00:08:15And now?
00:08:16I don't need this!
00:08:17I 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?
00:08:34Questioning on you, Marco, 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!
00:08:48You 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, but I will find out about you and I will expose you!

00:16:51mom
00:17:09Mom, hey.
00:17:22How's Ava? How's the baby?
00:17:25The doctors are examining her now.
00:17:31Doctor, how is she?
00:17:33Mrs. Mancini has a severe ankle fracture that it needs immediate surgery.
00:17:37The medication could cause a miscarriage, so we need to have consent before we can proceed.
00:17:44Do it, whatever 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. The pain would be too excruciating.
00:17:59This baby is Marco's only child, his only heir.
00:18:03I can't risk losing it. I can handle the pain.
00:18:08Oh, my brave girl. God 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.
00:18:20How'd it go, doctor?
00:18:45It's a success.
00:18:48You're a real trooper, if you don't mind me saying.
00:18:51I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:18:54Senora Ava, please, let me help you.
00:19:15Okay, right this way, I'm right.
00:19:25I know your stay at the hospital could not have been easy for you.
00:19:30That's why I'm having 30% of Mancini Group shares put into your name.
00:19:36No.
00:19:37Mom, I cannot accept that.
00:19:39We're family.
00:19:42It's what you deserve.
00:19:44Actually, I've been thinking about doing something else.
00:19:49I'd like to go back to work.
00:19:52Work?
00:19:53But you're pregnant.
00:19:55Oh, honey, if you need money, I'll just transfer some into your account.
00:19:57No, no, it's not about money.
00:20:00Marco always said that we should make our own way.
00:20:04And I want our child to know his father and know what he valued.
00:20:13And you are as stubborn as he was.
00:20:17Look, you're going to need protection.
00:20:20You'll accompany her.
00:20:24No, no, no, no, no.
00:20:25I can manage on my own.
00:20:30In the morning, 10 a.m., I'll be at the entrance.
00:20:34You know that I can talk to your manager for you.
00:20:45Make sure that they accommodate every need.
00:20:47No need.
00:20:48I don't want any special treatments.
00:20:50But thank you for that ride.
00:20:54You know, Ava, you do not need to be afraid of me.
00:20:58I can help you whenever you need.
00:21:00Okay.
00:21:04Why is she even back?
00:21:21That pregnant belly ruins the store's aesthetic.
00:21:23These pregnant women know exactly what they're doing.
00:21:26Hiding behind maternity protections.
00:21:29We can't legally fire her.
00:21:30Could you reassign her to the warehouse?
00:21:33Maybe move some stock around?
00:21:34And if something happens to her or the baby,
00:21:36you want that liability?
00:21:39We can't fire her,
00:21:41but we certainly can make her life difficult enough
00:21:43that she decides to quit on her own.
00:21:45And that concludes our quarterly revenue projections.
00:22:07Sir, forgive my directness,
00:22:13but are we here because you're concerned about your sister-in-law?
00:22:23Should I have the car brought around for your next meeting?
00:22:26Cancel the meeting?
00:22:27I've been meaning to talk to you.
00:22:34Given your, um, condition,
00:22:36I've been worried about potential liability issues.
00:22:39My pregnancy will not affect my performance.
00:22:42I do not intend to take advantage of company policy.
00:22:45Oh, glad to hear that.
00:22:49Then you won't mind proving your commitment.
00:22:51Sell one million dollars worth of merchandise by today,
00:22:55and I'll put all of my concerns to rest.
00:22:58I've seen your sales record.
00:23:00I know you can do it.
00:23:25Sir, half an hour until closing,
00:23:43and Mrs. Mancini has already surpassed
00:23:46the store's average monthly sales in a single day,
00:23:48but she's still a great deal short
00:23:51of the manager's impossible target.
00:23:56She did make it clear
00:23:58that she doesn't want any special treatment,
00:24:00but I have been neglecting my own wardrobe.
00:24:03And the Rossi family event
00:24:04will require several new suits.
00:24:06Now that you mention it, sir,
00:24:08your formal collection is missing
00:24:09quite a few essential items.
00:24:12And I should do some personal shopping,
00:24:14shouldn't I?
00:24:14Sir, may I assist you?
00:24:21Sir, this limited edition silk tie
00:24:24would go perfect with your conflections.
00:24:25Sir, I'd be happy to take your measurements personally.
00:24:29Sir, as store manager,
00:24:31I would be honored to assist you
00:24:33with 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.
00:24:41Shall we begin?
00:24:47Right this way, sir.
00:24:54I just need to take your measurements.
00:24:57Whoa, what are you doing?
00:25:00Your measurements are good.
00:25:02I just needed you to take the jacket off.
00:25:05Well, we don't have much time.
00:25:07I just need you to take the jacket off.
00:25:11I just need you to take the jacket off.
00:25:13I know.
00:25:19Now, imagine me like this.
00:25:26Happy.
00:25:27Mm-hmm.
00:25:28Mm-hmm.
00:25:37Ava, time is almost up.
00:26:03Mm-hmm.
00:26:04Mm-hmm.
00:26:04Mm-hmm.
00:26:05Mm-hmm.
00:26:05Mm-hmm.
00:26:06Mm-hmm.
00:26:06Mm-hmm.
00:26:07Mm-hmm.
00:26:07Mm-hmm.
00:26:07I did it. I saved my job and I made a new sales record. Thank you.
00:26:16There's no reason to thank me. I'm here to help. Whenever you need it.
00:26:21I hate to do this, but Ava Jackson, you're fired.
00:26:28What? No. I met your target and then some.
00:26:34Oh, that last sale? The one that put you over the top? That was actually mine.
00:26:40You're trying to steal my commission? Well, that won't work because everyone in this store saw me make that sale.
00:26:51I get it. You threatened them into silence. Well, that won't work either. Because the security cameras caught everything.
00:26:59Security cameras?
00:27:04What horrible timing. Unfortunately, the security cameras are down for maintenance today.
00:27:14But fortunately, everyone here saw you destroy thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
00:27:20You all saw Ava, didn't you? Yeah, we all saw it.
00:27:25So someone should call security. Better yet, call the police.
00:27:37I'm sorry sir, but we're closed for the day. I heard that this store got trashed.
00:27:41I'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? Luca Mancini?
00:27:49Luca Mancini?
00:27:55Luca Mancini?
00:28:04Sentiment?
00:28:35Please stop. I admit it. I was wrong.
00:28:47Who really damaged the merchandise in the store?
00:28:49The items they you destroyed are worth over several millions of dollars.
00:28:52That's 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.
00:29:04Come on, come on, come on.
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.
00:29:22It'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.
00:29:46I transferred $5 million 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.
00:30:01No, that's really not necessary.
00:30:06I have those meetings in Europe, so possibly I could have somebody to tune in.
00:30:11I'm perfectly capable of going by myself.
00:30:14I, uh, I 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.
00:30:30Ava 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?
00:30:59That might be a bit awkward.
00:31:02Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, please come in when you're ready.
00:31:04Coming.
00:31:12If you could lift your top up slightly and lower your skirt band just a bit, we'll get started.
00:31:25First prenatal checkup together, I'm guessing.
00:31:29The baby looks perfectly healthy.
00:31:36Current length is about three inches with a strong heart rate.
00:31:41Is 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.
00:31:52Dad, don't you want to come take a look?
00:32:05The 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.
00:32:20Tactile 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.
00:32:27Doctor, is that really appropriate?
00:32:32What'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, gentle strokes.
00:33:04Got it?
00:33:09Got it.
00:33:11Do this once daily, five to ten minutes each.
00:33:16You can sit up now.
00:33:24Huh.
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,
00:33:48and 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?
00:34:13How 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...
00:34:19Good 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, hey.
00:34:36Rossi's family lack of manners ever disappoints me.
00:34:40Luca Mancini, how dare you speak to me like that?
00:34:43Ms. Rossi, right?
00:34:45I'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 I'm nice.
00:35:03I 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.
00:35:09Or something sharp.
00:35:10Yes.
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.
00:35:34You look so handsome.
00:35:36That's fine.
00:35:36Well, 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?
00:35:54I'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?
00:36:17Right there.
00:36:38I'm not.
00:36:39I'm not.
00:36:40I'm not.
00:36:40I'm not.
00:36:42I'm not.
00:36:42I'm not.
00:36:43Right there.
00:36:51No problem. Just don't want you to fall.
00:37:07Who's that with Mr. Mancini?
00:37:11He's clearly pregnant. Do you think that's Mr. Mancini's baby?
00:37:15I had no idea he was going to marry. Must be his mistress.
00:37:19Everyone, I would like to introduce Ava Mancini.
00:37:23My eldest son, Marco's wife.
00:37:27Marco's wife? She's stunning.
00:37:31This is my birthday party! I'm supposed to be the center of attention,
00:37:35not 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.
00:37:49An apology simply isn't enough.
00:37:51Since you're Luca's sister-in-law,
00:37:53why don't you entertain us all with a performance of some kind?
00:37:57Look! She used to deliver food for a living.
00:38:01Waitress? Retail clerk? Cleaning lady?
00:38:03What could someone with her background possibly perform for this crowd?
00:38:07Ava, how does this piece go again?
00:38:21I'm completely lost here. I've forgotten everything that you've taught me.
00:38:25There's no way she could actually play.
00:38:27She's just a nobody from nowhere.
00:38:29He has to be setting your own.
00:38:31Even Miss Mancini is smiling.
00:38:33Just waiting for her to crash and burn.
00:38:35I was just playing for the baby.
00:38:57I 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.
00:39:09Um, because Mom did tell me to look after you,
00:39:13so it's the least that I can do.
00:39:17Okay.
00:39:19There.
00:39:21There.
00:39:23There.
00:39:25There.
00:39:27There.
00:39:29And there.
00:39:31There.
00:39:41There.
00:39:43There.
00:39:45There.
00:39:47There.
00:39:49There.
00:39:51They're definitely more than in-laws.
00:40:06Look at the way they play together.
00:40:09If I can't have him, I'll destroy them.
00:40:18Yeah, I always enjoy these type of events.
00:40:20Me too.
00:40:21Just have it screwed up.
00:40:22From Miss Rossi.
00:40:23Your accompaniments.
00:40:24Cheers.
00:40:29Sir, that drink is almost certainly drugged.
00:40:32Obviously.
00:40:33Is the Rossi family making a move against us?
00:40:36These tensions have been simmering for years.
00:40:38Should we respond preemptively?
00:40:44Do nothing.
00:40:45You 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.
00:41:10SofΓa's bedroom.
00:41:11Why is Luca's phone in there?
00:41:12And why am I jealous?
00:41:13Why is Luca's phone in there?
00:41:14Why am I jealous?
00:41:15Why is Luca's phone in there?
00:41:16Why am I jealous?
00:41:18Shit.
00:41:25Food.
00:41:26Fuck.
00:41:31Shit.
00:41:32Is it as bad as Luca's phone in there?
00:41:33Why is Luca's phone in there?
00:41:35And why am I jealous?
00:41:36Oh my
00:41:42Shit.
00:41:42I've wanted Luca for years, and then you waltz in and get his attention in weeks.
00:42:01You won't look so innocent when everyone sees you in bed next to your dead husband's brother.
00:42:07This isn't exactly how you wanted it.
00:42:09Not at all. This isn't convincing.
00:42:11Unbutton their clothes.
00:42:20Sal, position them closer together. Make it look more intimate.
00:42:29Perfect. Let's go.
00:42:31Our 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.
00:42:48Ava, wake up.
00:43:02Ava.
00:43:04Ava.
00:43:04Oh, my God.
00:43:17What happened to us?
00:43:21This is bad.
00:43:35If anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:43:39Luca, wake up.
00:43:49Okay.
00:43:52Oh!
00:43:53Oh!
00:43:55Jesus.
00:43:55People 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.
00:44:06If anyone sees us like this, they'll...
00:44:08The Mancini family name won't be destroyed.
00:44:10Okay.
00:44:11Okay.
00:44:12Oh, so Mancini name is what you're concerned about.
00:44:16Is that it?
00:44:18Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:44:19You haven't answered...
00:44:20Thank you all so much for coming today to celebrate me.
00:44:28But I do have some rather important information to share with you all.
00:44:32I have just discovered Luca Mancini in a rather compromising position with his brother's pregnant widow.
00:44:43In my bedroom.
00:44:52Can you let go?
00:44:56They're coming.
00:44:57Come here.
00:44:58Here, I got this one.
00:45:03Wait, stop!
00:45:04Watch, they're right there!
00:45:05If we walk through that door, we'll walk right into their trap.
00:45:08Okay, then what's your brilliant idea?
00:45:10Yes, ma'am?
00:45:11Um, we...
00:45:12Let's go through the window.
00:45:14We can climb down.
00:45:15Whoa, whoa, whoa, no.
00:45:16No, no, I'm afraid of heights.
00:45:18You're what?
00:45:21Sorry, I just didn't realize the great Luca Mancini had fears like the rest of us.
00:45:26Yeah, you know, that's one of my fears, and I don't advertise it, so deal with it.
00:45:32What the hell's to do?
00:45:35Let's go see, where are these cheaters you promised to expose?
00:45:38Shh, keep it down, you idiot.
00:45:40You don't want to wake them.
00:45:41I mean, we don't want to alert them to give them a chance to escape.
00:45:46They're coming.
00:45:46Let's go.
00:45:47Let's go.
00:45:49Okay.
00:45:50Hurry, hurry.
00:45:51I have them.
00:45:51No, no, no, no, don't run.
00:45:56We have to catch them in the act first.
00:45:57Are you insane?
00:45:59Your house is on fire.
00:46:00Who cares about the gossip?
00:46:02Let's get out of here.
00:46:02No, no, no, no.
00:46:03No, I'll help everyone leave afterwards.
00:46:05But first, let's get a look at them.
00:46:06Come on.
00:46:06Oh, hi.
00:46:30What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:46:32I am so sorry.
00:46:33It was an accident, please.
00:46:34I'm fine, it's fine.
00:46:36You okay?
00:46:36Yeah.
00:46:39The 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.
00:46:52Now go on, it's warm.
00:46:55Thanks.
00:47:04What 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.
00:47:43You'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.
00:48:02And if you ever threaten Ava again, directly or indirectly, I will end the Rossi family from
00:48:09this city permanently.
00:48:11You'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?
00:48:17I quit.
00:48:18Ew, get your hands off of me!
00:48:20Do you know who I am?
00:48:22I don't know who I am.
00:48:51This is, is this a dream?
00:49:00Luca, I'm your brother's wife.
00:49:04So, so this isn't a dream.
00:49:05I, um, Ava, I've had feelings for you for so long.
00:49:12I'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 my family code.
00:49:22I have to silence the person who discovers my weaknesses.
00:49:28Luca, let me go.
00:49:29No, no, no, but I can't silence you because, Ava, I have fallen in love with you.
00:49:35Oh, God, that's not funny.
00:49:38Look, I've never been more serious.
00:49:42Look, 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.
00:49:57I'll forget this ever happened.
00:49:58No, Ava, I want to take care of you and the baby for the rest of my life.
00:50:13Luca, I, I know that you try, but you can't let me in.
00:50:21Luca, 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.
00:50:30My clothes were dirty, so Luca prepared for me a shower and clean clothes.
00:50:35Oh, thank goodness.
00:50:38The last thing we need is for you to catch pneumonia.
00:50:40Yeah, I know.
00:50:42Ava, I think that we should probably...
00:50:45Luca, it's almost Marco's birthday.
00:50:50Let's visit his grave.
00:50:53He is your brother and my husband, and we don't want to betray his memory.
00:50:59Oh, you poor thing.
00:51:01You 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.
00:51:10Changing hearts.
00:51:11Changing hearts.
00:51:17Changing hearts.
00:51:19Marco, I 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?
00:51:44Ava, are you there?
00:51:55I meant everything that I said today.
00:51:59And I want to help you get through this, and I want to protect you.
00:52:03Marco and Mom, they would both understand.
00:52:08Ava, I love you.
00:52:14I 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.
00:52:37There's $30 million on this credit card, and the pin number is your birthday.
00:52:44I've been through epsom flows, and this 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.
00:53:08We are magnetic sides.
00:53:12I'm falling out of you.
00:53:13Wait for me.
00:53:14No one loves me like you do.
00:53:18Thought that you and I were through.
00:53:21The baby's development is right on track.
00:53:30Perfect, 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, no need to be embarrassed.
00:53:44The way that man looks at you is something special.
00:53:46Now face each other.
00:53:53Helena, take her hands.
00:53:56Deep inhale.
00:53:58And lean into each other.
00:54:00Using each other's weight to support you.
00:54:04Come up.
00:54:05On the exhale, do a gentle squat.
00:54:16And then share and embrace.
00:54:21You have anything?
00:54:23Who exactly are you welcoming home, dear daughter-in-law?
00:54:33I was just talking nonsense.
00:54:46I'll get it.
00:54:47Miss, flowers from Mr. Mancini.
00:55:28I wonder if he's doing well out there.
00:55:45Hello?
00:55:46Ava?
00:55:47I'm outside at the gate.
00:55:49Security won't let me in.
00:55:50Mom, what are you doing here?
00:55:57I missed you terribly, sweetheart.
00:56:00I just wanted to check on you and the baby.
00:56:06Look.
00:56:07Fresh oranges.
00:56:09Just pick today.
00:56:10You need the vitamin C for the baby's development.
00:56:13I'm on a very carefully monitored diet.
00:56:15But you wasted a trip.
00:56:21Look.
00:56:22I know that you haven't forgiven me.
00:56:25But 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?
00:56:34That'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.
00:56:56And he threw me out.
00:56:58I had absolutely nothing left.
00:57:10This 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.
00:57:17Not a penny goes to Derek.
00:57:19Okay.
00:57:19I swear it.
00:57:21Not a cent to him.
00:57:23How much money are we talking about?
00:57:25$10,000.
00:57:27$10,000?
00:57:30That's it.
00:57:31You're carrying the Mancini air and all they've given you is $10,000.
00:57:36That is my personal savings.
00:57:39I haven't asked the Mancinis for a cent.
00:57:41Okay, this is completely unacceptable.
00:57:44Everyone in this city knows that the Mancinis are loaded beyond belief.
00:57:50Come on.
00:57:51Come 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.
00:58:20Understand?
00:58:21I understand, sweetheart.
00:58:23Mom won't say another word about it.
00:58:25$10,000?
00:58:32That's it?
00:58:33That's pocket change for them.
00:58:35She must be holding out 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.
00:58:52Yes.
00:58:53A few million?
00:58:54It's just the beginning.
00:58:56We've been thinking too small.
00:59:09I have good reason to believe that we have a common enemy.
00:59:12I think we should work together.
00:59:19Miss 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,
00:59:33two cherry tomatoes, and a glass of milk.
00:59:35And 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.
00:59:43And 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.
01:00:00While making hot chocolate, she said to the chef, it's never quite as good as Luca's.
01:00:05She always knows what to say.
01:00:09I'll make her a batch right now and we can have it delivered.
01:00:12Great.
01:00:12I'll arrange a private courier right away.
01:00:15Luca is almost finished with his business.
01:00:23Hopefully, he will make it home in time for the birth.
01:00:27Mrs. Mancini, terrible news.
01:00:30Luca's jet has been destroyed in mid-flight heat.
01:00:32He's missing.
01:00:33What?
01:00:34I want every detail immediately.
01:00:36Yes, ma'am.
01:00:39Ava, breathe.
01:00:40Breathe.
01:00:41Don't panic.
01:00:42Don't panic.
01:00:42Luca has always been lucky.
01:00:44He's going to be fine.
01:00:45He will.
01:00:51Hello?
01:00:52I have Luca Mancini.
01:00:54Twenty million dollars cash for his safe return.
01:00:56No police, no family, no security team.
01:01:01You come alone or he dies.
01:01:03You have 24 hours.
01:01:07Who?
01:01:09Oh, Ava, are you okay?
01:01:11Who was that?
01:01:12It's nothing, nothing.

01:11:44how you feeling?
01:11:45good
01:11:46you want something to eat?
01:11:47I thought this hospital was the best that money can buy.
01:11:57I guess I was misinformed.
01:11:59Look, they're doing the best they can.
01:12:03Let's not terrorize the staff.
01:12:07Look, I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:12You would tear me apart.
01:12:17Luca, remember to control yourself, son.
01:12:26Let her recover first.
01:12:38And have you decided what to name this little prince?
01:12:43Marco.
01:12:45Marco.
01:12:46I'm going to name him Marco.
01:13:10Look, little one.
01:13:12It's your daddy.
01:13:14It's your real daddy.
01:13:21It'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.
01:13:37And your family.
01:13:42Our family.
01:13:46You 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.
01:14:05What?
01:14:11Oh, my God.
01:14:16Oh, my God.
01:14:18Oh, my God.
01:14:23Oh, my God.
01:14:24Mrs. Mancini's wedding gifts, the finest villas, the 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.
01:14:54Thank you, Monica.
01:15:03A 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, and they're a witness.
