Mancini’S Forbidden Bride
Transcript
00:00:00Master Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson, and she was carrying his child.
00:00:07I'm 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.
00:04:49Plain make-believe?
00:04:50Mancini?
00:04:51Seriously?
00:04:52No.
00:04:53No.
00:04:54No.
00:04:55No.
00:04:56No.
00:04:57No.
00:04:58No.
00:04:59No.
00:05:00No.
00:05:01No.
00:05:02No.
00:05:03No.
00:05:04No.
00:05:05No.
00:05:06No.
00:05:07No.
00:05:08No.
00:05:09No.
00:05:10No.
00:05:11No.
00:05:12No.
00:05:13No.
00:05:14No.
00:05:15No.
00:05:16Audrey- like is anybody here actually buying this?
00:05:19Question my identity again, and my men will make sure your other
00:05:23leg looks like your first one.
00:05:26Permanently.
00:05:27What are you doing?
00:05:29Derek.
00:05:30Run!
00:05:31Maybe we should just go.
00:05:34One moment here.
00:05:35Anyone who raises a hand to my daughter-in-law deserves to have
00:05:40their fingers snapped.
00:05:42One...
00:05:44by one.
00:05:46Come along my dear, let's get you home, to your real home.
00:05:53Welcome home, Signora Eva Vincini.
00:06:18This is where Marco lives.
00:06:21And now, it's your home 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, Signora.
00:06:46Two days of working multiple jobs are over, my dear.
00:06:49Ten million dollars is a little spending money.
00:06:53Well, thank you.
00:06:55But I can't accept this.
00:06:57I married Marco for love, not for his fortune.
00:07:02Practical and principled.
00:07:04My 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.
00:07:19There's a flower girl in the cemetery.
00:07:23Luca, come meet Eva, your brother's wife.
00:07:27Please, show her proper.
00:07:29Respect!
00:07:31You 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!
00:07:51Who are you, really?
00:07:54I'll be watching your every move, your every breath.
00:08:01So tell me, who are you, really?
00:08:05My brother's dead, and you appear suddenly?
00:08:08Was this your endgame all along?
00:08:11Our fortune?
00:08:12I didn't know Marco's a Mancini.
00:08:14And now?
00:08:15I don't need this.
00:08:16I can walk right out those doors.
00:08:18You can't walk anywhere!
00:08:19He'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?
00:08:38Questioning on you, Marco.
00:08:39Don't you dare question my child?
00:08:41That's my girl.
00:08:44Backbone of steel.
00:08:46Are you hurt?
00:08:48Luca, you are too rude!
00:08:51Ava is a good girl.
00:08:52You are falsely accusing her.
00:08:54Come on, sweetie.
00:08:55Mom's going to take you and get some clothes.
00:08:57Pay no attention to this fool.
00:09:03You may be fooling them, but I will find out about you and I will expose you.
00:09:08These are all the latest European styles.
00:09:26Take your pick.
00:09:27I have plenty to wear.
00:09:29And these are much too expensive.
00:09:31Oh, not to worry.
00:09:33It's all on Luca's card.
00:09:35Treat my dear daughter-in-law well.
00:09:37Treat my dear daughter-in-law well.
00:09:38Treat my dear daughter-in-law well.
00:09:42Treat my dear daughter-in-law well.
00:09:43email me if you don't want to be.
00:09:44I can't wait.
00:09:45I can't wait until I get married too!
00:09:46I want to get married too!
00:09:47Bye!
00:09:48You were in the future!
00:09:49Bye!
00:09:50I got married too!
00:09:51Bye!
00:09:52Bye!
00:09:53I got married too!
00:09:55Bye!
00:09:56Bye!
00:09:57What is this?
00:10:01Bye!
00:10:03I got married too!
00:10:04Bye!
00:10:05Bye!
00:10:06Bye!
00:10:07Bye!
00:10:08Bye!
00:10:09Bye!
00:10:10Bye!
00:10:11Bye!
00:10:12Oh, isn't she gorgeous?
00:10:19She's adequate.
00:10:24Always the tough guy act with you.
00:10:26Your eyes tell a different story, my son.
00:10:30Oh, yes, this is just perfect.
00:10:33We will take one of everything in her size.
00:10:38Mom?
00:10:40Mom?
00:10:42That's too generous.
00:10:44Nonsense.
00:10:45We'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.
00:10:56He's actually quite a softie.
00:10:59Now, shall we continue shopping?
00:11:02Yes.
00:11:06Sir?
00:11:07Yes?
00:11:08Your 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 dollar family out of millions of dollars.
00:11:20She'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.
00:11:27I want everything on her.
00:11:30Everything!
00:11:31If she is playing us for fools, then I will personally ensure that she regrets ever hearing the name Mancino.
00:11:38I'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?
00:12:06You 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.
00:12:32Did I get her all wrong?
00:12:41Hello?
00:12:46Mother is unwell.
00:12:47You need to return home immediately.
00:12:52What's wrong with Mom?
00:12:54Is she hurt?
00:12:58Mom?
00:13:00What's going on?
00:13:06Ava, please don't be angry.
00:13:09We just had to get you here.
00:13:17What are you doing?
00:13:18Since you won't help us financially, we had to find another solution.
00:13:22Victor Fang.
00:13:23That old loan shark's willing to give us $80,000 just to marry you.
00:13:32Are you insane?
00:13:35I'm pregnant.
00:13:36Your husband's dead, Ava.
00:13:37Why keep his baby?
00:13:39Think about your family.
00:13:40Mr. Fang is waiting.
00:13:42Don't make this harder than it needs to be.
00:13:46You are not selling me off to Victor Fang!
00:13:51If she dies, how will you provide for this child?
00:13:57She's calling someone!
00:13:58Ava is in danger.
00:13:59We need to move.
00:14:00Go, go, go!
00:14:01Ava is in danger.
00:14:02We need to move.
00:14:03Go, go, go!
00:14:04Ava is in danger.
00:14:05We need to move.
00:14:06Go, go, go!
00:14:07Ava is in danger.
00:14:08Ava is in danger.
00:14:09We need to move.
00:14:10Go, go, go!
00:14:12Ava is in danger.
00:14:13Ava is in danger.
00:14:14We need to move.
00:14:15Go, go, go!
00:14:17Ava is venomous!
00:14:33Avan!
00:14:35You think someone's coming to save you?!
00:14:36G'aaaah!
00:14:37Gah!
00:14:38Who dares manhandle my future bride?
00:14:43Mr. Fang, 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.
00:14:58I 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
00:15:08than 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
00:15:19and it'll make things easier for everybody.
00:15:22Oh, okay.
00:15:25You're a little feisty, I see.
00:15:28Maybe you just need a little personal attention.
00:15:31Get out of my way!
00:15:57See, I 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?
00:16:08I'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?
00:16:26Looks like your wife is pregnant too.
00:16:28Yes, yes, yes, it's true.
00:16:30I swear, we didn't know.
00:16:32Please, please.
00:16:33You will be dealt with
00:16:34tenfold
00:16:35what you did to Ava.
00:16:40Get a doctor!
00:16:41Get a doctor!
00:16:42Get a car!
00:16:42And deal with him.

00:21:34and if something happens to her or the baby you want that liability

00:23:20that we don't make letters out of obstacles and step us on some roadblocks
00:23:26over the lines they say we won't crash
00:23:28but you're dancing to nothing
00:23:30then once you're coming
00:23:32scale or otherwise you're built to hold with us
00:23:37they may be blinding me
00:23:40sir
00:23:41half an hour until closing and mrs mancini has already surpassed the store's average monthly sales in a single day
00:23:48but she's still a great deal short of the manager's impossible target
00:23:57she did make it clear that she doesn't want any special treatment
00:24:00but i have been neglecting my own wardrobe
00:24:03and the rossi family event will require several new suits

00:24:56well what are you doing
00:25:00you measure me like this
00:25:02i just needed you to take the jacket off

00:25:06we don't have much time
00:25:13i know
00:25:19now
00:25:19imagine me like this
00:25:33Ava, time is almost up.
00:26:03I 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.
00:26:47I get it. You threatened them into silence. Well, that won't work either. Because the security cameras caught everything.
00:26:59Security cameras?
00:27:01What 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?
00:27:23Yeah, we all saw it.
00:27:26So someone should call security.
00:27:28Better yet, call the police.
00:27:38I'm sorry sir, but we're closed for the day.
00:27:40I heard that this store got trashed.
00:27:42I'm going to have to ask you to leave or I'm going to have to call the police.
00:27:45The police work for me.
00:27:47Are you? Luca Mancini?
00:27:50nobody like me.
00:27:55I'm happy.
00:27:57BANG KINCH.
00:27:58Are you?
00:28:33Please 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.
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. Mom could be here.
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.
00:29:47I transferred $5 million into your personal account for prenatal care.
00:29:52I'm 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.
00:30:50Oh, 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.
00:31:12If you could lift your top up slightly and lower your skirt band just a bit, we'll get started.
00:31:20First 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.
00:31:41Is the baby moving?
00:31:42Yes, indeed.
00:31:44Look there.
00:31:46The little one's making faces.
00:31:48Quite 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.
00:32:19Tactile 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.
00:32:37Okay.
00:32:38I'm sorry, did 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.
00:33:11Do this once daily, five to ten minutes each.
00:33:14You can sit up now.
00:33:24So, 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.
00:33:37Good 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.
00:34:00And 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...
00:34:20Good evening, Mrs. Mancini.
00:34:24Luca, I came to personally deliver my birthday invitation.
00:34:27Okay.
00:34:31Luca, who is this woman?
00:34:34Luca, who is this woman?
00:34:35Hey, 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?
00:34:45I've heard so much about your family.
00:34:49I'm Ava, Marco's wife.
00:34:51Marco was Luca's brother.
00:34:53Oh, okay.
00:34:58I thought you were carrying Luca's baby.
00:35:00That's good, because Luca's...
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.
00:35:13See 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?
00:35:51I'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?
00:36:21Thanks.
00:36:46Right there.
00:36:51No problem. Just don't want you to fall.
00:37:08Who's that with Mr. Mancini?
00:37:11She's clearly pregnant.
00:37:13Do you think that's Mr. Mancini's baby?
00:37:15I had no idea he was even married.
00:37:17Must be his mistress.
00:37:18Oh, shameless.
00:37:19Everyone, I would like to introduce Ava Mancini.
00:37:24My eldest son, Marco's wife.
00:37:26Marco's wife? She'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.
00:37:42It's fine. She's always like this.
00:37:45We didn't mean to steal your spotlight.
00:37:49An apology simply isn't enough.
00:37:52Since you're Luca's sister-in-law,
00:37:54why don't you entertain us all with a performance of some kind?
00:37:58Look!
00:37:59She used to deliver food for a living.
00:38:01Waitress? Retail clerk? Cleaning lady?
00:38:04What could someone with her background possibly perform for this crowd?
00:38:06Ava, how does this piece go again?
00:38:21I'm completely lost here.
00:38:22I'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 her up.
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.
00:38:56I 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.
00:39:08Because Mom did tell me to look after you,
00:39:13so it's the least that I can do.
00:39:15One, two, three, and there.
00:39:31One, two, three, and there.
00:39:35One, two, three, and there.
00:40:05Definitely 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 now.
00:40:18Yeah, I always enjoy these type of events.
00:40:20Me too.
00:40:21That habit's good.
00:40:22From Miss Rossi.
00:40:24Your accompaniments.
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?
00:40:45Do nothing.
00:40:46You just need to focus on protecting Ava.
00:40:50We'll see what they have planned.
00:40:58Darling, 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.
00:41:08Sophia's bedroom.
00:41:31Why is Luca's phone in there?
00:41:35And why am I jealous?
00:41:37I've wanted Luca for years, and 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.
00:42:07This isn't exactly how you wanted it.
00:42:09Not at all.
00:42:10This isn't convincing.
00:42:12Unbutton their clothes.
00:42:13Sal, position them closer together.
00:42:22Make it look more intimate.
00:42:28Perfect.
00:42:30Let'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.
00:42:59Ava, wake up.
00:43:02Ava.
00:43:04Ava.
00:43:12Oh my god.
00:43:19What happened to us?
00:43:25This is bad.
00:43:26Oh, if anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:43:43Luca, wake up.
00:43:49Okay.
00:43:52Oh, Jesus.
00:43:56People are coming.
00:43:58You're acting like we had some tort affair.
00:44:00We didn't do anything wrong, so why are you worrying?
00:44:02I'm your late brother's widow, and I'm carrying his child.
00:44:06If anyone sees us like this, the Mancini family name will 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?
00:44:18Hey, hey, hey.
00:44:19You haven't answered.
00:44:24Thank you all so much for coming today.
00:44:26To celebrate me, but I do have some rather important information to share with you all.
00:44:33I have just discovered Luca Mancini in a rather compromising position with his brother's pregnant widow.
00:44:42In my bedroom.
00:44:52Can you let go?
00:44:56They're coming.
00:44:57Come here.
00:44:59Wait.
00:44:59I got this one.
00:45:02Wait, stop.
00:45:04What?
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?
00:45:10Yes, 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.
00:45:15No.
00:45:16No, no.
00:45:16I'm afraid of heights.
00:45:18You're what?
00:45:19Sorry, 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, Steve?
00:45:35Lucy, where are these cheaters you promised to expose?
00:45:37Shh, 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.
00:45:49Okay.
00:45:50Hurry, hurry.
00:45:54No, no, no.
00:45:55No, 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.
00:46:03No, I'll help everyone leave afterwards, but first, let's get a look at them.
00:46:06Come on.
00:46:07What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:46:32I am so sorry.
00:46:33It was an accident, please.
00:46:36You okay?
00:46:37Yeah.
00:46:37The 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.
00:46:53It's warm.
00:46:55Thanks.
00:46:56Damn it.
00:47:15Damn it.
00:47:16What is it?
00:47:30Uh, Miss 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.
00:47:46Hey, 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,
00:48:07I will end the Rossi family from this city permanently.
00:48:10You're a monster.
00:48:12That's her in there, isn't it?
00:48:13Ava, your dead brother's wife?
00:48:16How dare you?
00:48:18Get your hands off of me!
00:48:20Do you know who I am?
00:48:28Oh.
00:48:37Okay?
00:48:38Luca.
00:48:49It's me, wake up.
00:48:51Ava, you're so close.
00:48:52Is this a dream?
00:49:00Luca.
00:49:01I'm your brother's wife.
00:49:03So, 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 by family code,
00:49:22I have to silence the person who discovers my weaknesses.
00:49:26Oh my God, 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.
00:49:48And my feelings have crossed that line months ago.
00:49:54Stop, stop, just stop.
00:49:57I'll forget this ever happened.
00:49:58No, Ava.
00:50:00I want to take care of you.
00:50:03And the baby.
00:50:04For the rest of my life.
00:50:14Look, I...
00:50:15I know that you're trying.
00:50:18But 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.
00:50:45It's almost Marco's birthday.
00:50:50Let's visit his grave.
00:50:53He's your brother and my husband.
00:50:56And we don't want to betray his memory.
00:51:00Oh, 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.
00:51:10Ones but not.
00:51:11I...
00:51:11...
00:51:12Good morning.
00:51:13You're our baby.
00:51:14I love you.
00:51:14Oh, my God.
00:51:18And I love you.
00:51:22I love you.
00:51:25I love you.
00:51:26I love you.
00:51:28I love you.
00:51:29I love you.
00:51:29You love me.
00:51:30I love you.
00:51:31I'm things like.
00:51:32I love you..
00:51:33I love you.
00:51:34I love you.
00:51:35It's okay.
00:51:36if you knew I had feelings for your brother.
00:51:43Ava, are you in there?
00:51:52Ava, are you there?
00:51:55I meant everything that I said today.
00:51:59And I want to help you get through this,
00:52:00and I want to protect you.
00:52:03Marco and Mom,
00:52:04they would both understand
00:52:06Ava, I love you.
00:52:24I understand how difficult this is.
00:52:28Your loyalty for Marco
00:52:30and your concern for my mother,
00:52:32that is the compassion that,
00:52:33that's the reason I fell in love with you.
00:52:40There's $30 million on this credit card,
00:52:42and the pin number is your birthday.
00:52:44I've been 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.
00:52:58Illuminated 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.
00:53:11The baby's development is right on track.
00:53:30Perfect, actually.
00:53:31Has your husband been doing those tactile bonding exercises
00:53:36I showed you?
00:53:37Doctor,
00:53:38actually, 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.
00:54:10On the exhale, do a gentle squat.
00:54:13And then share and embrace.
00:54:22You're gonna need me.
00:54:29Who exactly are you welcoming home,
00:54:31dear daughter-in-law?
00:54:33I was just talking nonsense.
00:54:36Miss.
00:54:36Miss.
00:54:46I'll get it.
00:54:52Miss, flowers from Mr. Mancini.
00:54:57Miss, flowers from Mr. Mancini.
00:55:19Miss.
00:55:20I wonder if he's doing well out there.
00:55:45Hello?
00:55:46Ava?
00:55:47I'm outside at the gate.
00:55:48Security won't let me in.
00:55:56Mom, 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, fresh 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.
00:56:16You wasted a trip.
00:56:18Look, 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?
00:56:34That's not rehash the past.
00:56:38Of course.
00:56:40I picked these up for my grandchild.
00:56:43Aren't they precious?
00:56:44That baby that you're carrying is my family, too.
00:56:51I love them so much already.
00:56:53Look, I stood up for you to Derek, and he threw me out.
00:56:58I got absolutely nothing left.
00:57:00This card contains all the money I've saved.
00:57:12It's yours.
00:57:14But you have to promise me 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.
00:57:23How much money are we talking about?
00:57:24$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 Mancini's are loaded beyond belief.
00:57:50Come on.
00:57:51You need to milk this situation for all it's worth.
00:57:59Honey, I'm...
00:58:01I'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.
00:58:16And 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.
00:58:31$10,000?
00:58:32That's it?
00:58:33That's pocket change for them?
00:58:35She must be holding down on this.
00:58:37That 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.
00:58:58I have good reason to believe that we have a common enemy.
00:59:12I think we should work together.
00:59:14Miss Mancini has been sleeping well, sir.
00:59:22She 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.
00:59:40Well, it'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.
00:59:57And she actually mentioned you today.
01:00:00While making hot chocolate, she said to the chef,
01:00:03it's never quite as good as Lucas.
01:00:05She always knows what to say.
01:00:07I'll make her a batch right now, and we can have it delivered.
01:00:12Great. I'll arrange a private courier right away.
01:00:20Luca is almost finished with his business.
01:00:23Hopefully, he will make it home in time for the birth.
01:00:27Mrs. Mancini, the 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. Breathe.
01:00:41Don't panic. Don'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.
01:00:54$20 million 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.
01:01:04Oh, Ava, are you okay?
01:01:11Who was that?
01:01:12It's nothing, nothing.
01:01:14I'm just dizzy.
01:01:16The baby.
01:01:18So I'm going to go upstairs and lie down.
01:01:21Okay.
01:01:21Money first.
01:01:40Ow.
01:01:41You okay?
01:01:42You okay?
01:01:57Derek, where's Luca?
01:02:00Where's Luca?
01:02:02Don't worry about Luca.
01:02:04Worry about yourself.
01:02:05I don't.
01:02:06I don't know.
01:02:08I don't know.
01:02:08Oh.
01:02:17Uh.
01:02:17Um.
01:02:23Yeah.
01:02:24With her as our bargaining chip,
01:02:26we can demand
01:02:27$100 million
01:02:28million dollars from the man he is. Easy. Mom, why are you doing this? Poor family. Why have you always treated me so terribly?
01:02:43Family? You are so pathetic. You just don't get it, do you? You're just some brat that mom found on the street that she brought home to be our living servant.
01:02:55What are you talking about? You're an orphan! Not even your birth mother wanted you. Yeah, we brought you in. We fed you. We clothed you. And 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.
01:03:31You know what?
01:03:33Even 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.
01:03:56Stop, Derek! You're sick!
01:03:59Shhh!
01:04:02Now let's just keep that pretty little mouth of yours quiet, shall we?
01:04:09Fuck!
01:04:11Fuck!
01:04:13You fucking bitch!
01:04:14You fucking did it!
01:04:37You're alive! You're okay!
01:04:38My plane blew up, Ava gets kidnapped, this isn't a coincidence, who are you looking for?
01:04:53Answer me!
01:04:58Hey, make them stop! He's your brother! They'll kill him!
01:05:03You just told me I'm an orphan, so he's not really my little brother.
01:05:05You better tell me who your accomplices are, or he stops breathing.
01:05:10You two should be ashamed of yourselves.
01:05:13Yeah, I see the way that you look at each other. He's your dead husband's brother.
01:05:18You're a betrayer, Marco, and his mother.
01:05:23Are you alright? Hey, hey, hey, you okay?
01:05:26Yeah, yeah.
01:05:28Your mom has been so kind to me, and I dragged her into this mess.
01:05:32It's on my floor.
01:05:33Your mother-in-law took you in.
01:05:37She treated you like a daughter.
01:05:38She gave you everything that you could ever want, and this is how you repay her?
01:05:42By falling for her younger son?
01:05:45Have you already forgotten, Marco? It is his grave?
01:05:48What is wrong with you?
01:05:50I want her as my daughter-in-law.
01:05:56First my eldest son's wife, and now my youngest.
01:06:02Object to them, and you'll lose your tongue.
01:06:05You couldn't have Luca, so you decided to try and kill him?
01:06:22Good thing he changed his plight plan at the last minute, hmm?
01:06:27Cross the Mancini's, and you cease to exist.
01:06:31You must release me.
01:06:33My father will burn your empire to the ground.
01:06:38Don't you wonder why my son was gone all that time?
01:06:44Your family's power is already gone.
01:06:49You two have risked everything to be together.
01:07:05I can see that Luca's devotion is absolute.
01:07:12You have endured far too much pain.
01:07:17It'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.
01:07:31He will rest easier.
01:07:34Knowing that we are protecting you and your child.
01:07:42From this moment forward, I swear to you, nobody will ever hurt my family.
01:07:50Luca, you're bleeding.
01:07:53You gotta keep this clean.
01:07:58Yeah.
01:07:59Infections can get nasty.
01:08:02Okay.
01:08:04So you're saying that you care about me, then?
01:08:07Shut up.
01:08:09Of course I care.
01:08:14All right.
01:08:16Wait.
01:08:16Okay.
01:08:23I think he likes you.
01:08:44Yeah?
01:08:44Ava.
01:08:45I will take care of you.
01:08:52And the baby.
01:08:54Just like my brother would have.
01:08:56I brought some fruit for you and the...
01:08:58Luca.
01:09:02She's pregnant.
01:09:04Be gentle with her.
01:09:05I think maybe you should get some less.
01:09:11Okay.
01:09:15Oh.
01:09:16Wait.
01:09:19What is it?
01:09:20I think I'm in labor.
01:09:21What is taking so long?
01:09:32Is something wrong?
01:09:34She's gone into labor early.
01:09:35Have you two been intimate recently?
01:09:38Well, we didn't exactly.
01:09:41I mean, not completely.
01:09:43I warned you to be careful with her.
01:09:45I'm sorry.
01:09:46What can we do now?
01:09:47The medication isn't working as we'd hoped.
01:09:50There's another approach we could try.
01:09:53Yes.
01:09:54Yes.
01:09:54We'll do anything.
01:09:54Money's no object.
01:09:55Just help her.
01:09:57Some intimate touches can help her relax and feel better.
01:10:05Right here.
01:10:05Right here.
01:10:08Yes.
01:10:13Mom.
01:10:13I can't.
01:10:15Just whip it out.
01:10:16Don't do it.
01:10:18Hurry it up.
01:10:35I hope things are going smoothly in there.
01:10:52They've never been together before.
01:10:55Never been together?
01:10:56Then how could she be...
01:10:59The child is my late son's.
01:11:02Luca's brother.
01:11:06You okay?
01:11:08Doctor, please.
01:11:09Doctor, please.
01:11:16Three.
01:11:17One, two, three.
01:11:19Push.
01:11:19One, two, three.

01:11:42Hey.
01:11:43Hi.
01:11:43How are you feeling?
01:11:44Good.
01:11:45Good.
01:11:46Do you want something to eat?
01:11:47I'm okay.
01:11:48Okay.
01:11:48Okay.
01:11:49Okay.
01:11:49I thought this hospital was the best that money can buy.
01:11:56I guess I was misinformed.
01:12:00Luca, they're doing the best they can.
01:12:03Let's not terrorize the staff.
01:12:07Luca, I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:12You would tear me apart.
01:12:20Luca, remember to control yourself, son.
01:12:26Let her recover first.
01:12:33And have you decided what to name this little prince?
01:12:43Marco.
01:12:46Marco.
01:12:46I want to name him Marco.
01:12:56Look, little one.
01:13:12It'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.
01:13:34The business.
01:13:38And 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.
01:14:03On the radio.
01:14:05Miss, Mrs. Mancini's wedding gifts.
01:14:26The finest villas.
01:14:28The Mancini family jewelry.
01:14:31And finally, 30% ownership of Mancini group holdings.
01:14:36Effective immediately.
01:14:42This ring has been in the Mancini family for seven generations.
01:14:48Passed from mother to daughter-in-law.
01:14:56Thank you, Mama.
01:15:03A perfect fit.
01:15:04Now, I need the two of you to focus on your top priority.
01:15:23Um, top priority?
01:15:24Giving me a granddaughter to play with little Marco Jr.
01:15:29Mom, we're at a church.
01:15:33And they're a witness.
01:15:34Excuse me.
