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 a lot of 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.
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 hate you.
00:00:49I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:00:56Ava, you're so close.
00:01:00Is this a dream?
00:01:02If anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately send us.
00:01:08Ava, I have fallen in love with you.
00:01:10I'm your brother's wife.
00:01:12We didn't do anything wrong, so why are you worried?
00:01:14If you knew I had feelings for your brother, would you hate me?
00:01:18I should never have let you go undercover on that damn business 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!
00:01:51Who are you?
00:01:52Which family do you work for?
00:01:54I just came to drop off the flowers.
00:01:56I didn't mean to be true.
00:01:57Luca, look at her.
00:01:59She's hardly a threat.
00:02:00For the flowers, and for the interruption, my apologies.
00:02:13Senor Mancini,
00:02:24Mr. Marco had a widow named Eva Jackson,
00:02:27and she was carrying his child.
00:02:31Get the car.
00:02:32Let me bring my daughter-in-law home where she belongs.
00:02:43Don't worry, little one.
00:02:45We'll get through this together.
00:02:48Somehow.
00:02:52Well, looky here.
00:02:55The family jinx is finally six feet under.
00:03:05Derek!
00:03:06Have you lost your mind?
00:03:07What the hell was that?
00:03:08Don't tell me that you're actually planning on keeping that little parasite.
00:03:12This is Marco's baby.
00:03:15This is our child.
00:03:17Of course I'm keeping it.
00:03:19Ever since you got knocked up,
00:03:21you've done nothing to help this family.
00:03:24We've been struggling while you've been out here playing the grieving widow.
00:03:28Give me one good reason why I should get rid of this baby.
00:03:34Because you owe me.
00:03:37This is your fault.
00:03:39I dropped out of college for this family.
00:03:42I took five jobs.
00:03:43What more could you possibly want?
00:03:45There'll never be enough, Eva.
00:03:46You'll owe us till the day you die.
00:03:50Please.
00:03:52Sweetheart.
00:03:53Think of your brother.
00:03:54I'm gonna stomp out that little bastard right now.
00:03:57Send him straight to hell.
00:03:58So he can say hello to his deadbeat dad.
00:04:01Hex!
00:04:02Hex!
00:04:03What the hell is going on here?
00:04:04Who the hell are you people?
00:04:05Ava, right?
00:04:06You were here this morning.
00:04:07You were here this morning.
00:04:08You were deadbeat dad.
00:04:09You were deadbeat dad.
00:04:10Hex!
00:04:11Hex!
00:04:12Hex!
00:04:13Hex!
00:04:14Hex!
00:04:15Hex!
00:04:16Hex!
00:04:17Hex!
00:04:18Hex!
00:04:19Hex!
00:04:20Hex!
00:04:21Hex!
00:04:22Hex!
00:04:23Hex!
00:04:24Hex!
00:04:25Hex!
00:04:26Hex!
00:04:27What the hell is going on here?
00:04:29Who the hell are you people?
00:04:30Ava, right?
00:04:31Ava, right?
00:04:32You were here this morning.
00:04:35Enough, Luca.
00:04:36She's hardly up to that.
00:04:41Ma'am?
00:04:42I'm Helena Mancini.
00:04:44Markov's mother.
00:04:49That means I'm your baby's grandmother.
00:04:53The most powerful mafia family in the country.
00:04:57Markov was my oldest.
00:04:59He was my golden boy.
00:05:01I am so sorry that he concealed his identity from you.
00:05:06You have endured far too much suffering because of it.
00:05:13Plain make-believe Mancini?
00:05:15Yeah.
00:05:16Seriously, like 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 one.
00:05:26Permanently.
00:05:28What are you doing?
00:05:29Derek, run!
00:05:31Maybe we should just go.
00:05:34One moment, dear.
00:05:36Anyone who raises a hand to my daughter-in-law deserves to have their fingers snapped.
00:05:41One.
00:05:42One.
00:05:43By.
00:05:44One.
00:05:45Come along, my dear.
00:05:48Let's get you home.
00:05:50To your real home.
00:05:52From your real home.
00:05:54One.
00:05:55Two.
00:05:56One.
00:06:00Two.
00:06:01One.
00:06:02Welcome home, Signora Eva Minchini.
00:06:18This is where Marco lives.
00:06:21And now, it's your head.
00:06:24Allow me to introduce you to your personal staff, Mrs. Minchini.
00:06:34Your nutritionist, nanny, maternity nurse, each the finest specialist money can acquire.
00:06:38We pledge your absolute dedication to your health and well-being, Signora.
00:06:45Your days of working multiple jobs are over, my dear.
00:06:49Ten million dollars is a little spending money.
00:06:52Well, 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.
00:07:06There 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, come meet Eva, your brother's wife.
00:07:27Please, show her proper.
00:07:32Respect!
00:07:34You walk back into a Minchini household?
00:07:37You're either incredibly stupid or incredibly brave.
00:07:41Luca!
00:07:42Open this door immediately!
00:07:44Everyone 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?
00:08:05My brother's dead, and you appear suddenly?
00:08:08Was this your end game all along?
00:08:10Our fortune?
00:08:12I didn't know Marco's a Minchini.
00:08:14And now?
00:08:15I don't need this.
00:08:16I can walk right out those doors.
00:08:17You can't walk anywhere!
00:08:18She's not going 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?
00:08:32Convenient timing, wouldn't you say?
00:08:34Questioning on you, Marco, don't you dare question my child?
00:08:40That's my girl!
00:08:43Backbone of steel!
00:08:45Are you hurt?
00:08:47Luca, you are too rude!
00:08:50Ava is a good girl!
00:08:52You are falsely accusing her!
00:08:54Come on, sweetie.
00:08:55Mom's going to 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.
00:09:32It's all on Luca's card.
00:09:35Treat my dear daughter-in-law well.
00:09:57I'm trying to be open and honest.
00:10:02This weight on my chest, I don't want it.
00:10:06I'd hate to be breaking, I promise.
00:10:10Cause I owe you the truth that I...
00:10:13Oh, isn't she gorgeous?
00:10:19She's adequate.
00:10:22Always the tough guy act with you.
00:10:26Your eyes tell a different story, my son.
00:10:30Oh, yes.
00:10:31This 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.
00:10:44We're family now.
00:10:47I am putting Luca's contact info into your phone.
00:10:51Reach out to him.
00:10:52Whatever you need.
00:10:54And don't worry.
00:10:56He's actually quite a softie.
00:10:59Now, shall we continue shopping?
00:11:01Yes.
00:11:02Sir.
00:11:06Yes.
00:11:07Your mother has spent approximately 15 million dollars on Miss Jackson in the last week alone.
00:11:14God.
00:11:15In mere days, she has swooned our 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.
00:11:27I want everything on her.
00:11:30Everything!
00:11:31If she is playing us for full, then I will personally ensure that she regrets ever hearing the name Mancino.
00:11:46I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:11:48I 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.
00:11:58Limited edition is perfect for you.
00:12:01certainsムー� Situation
00:12:04Marko?
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 Ms. 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. You need to return home immediately.
00:12:52What's wrong with Mom? Is she hurt?
00:12:58Mom?
00:13:00What's going on?
00:13:06Ava, please don't be angry.
00:13:10We just had to get you here.
00:13:16What 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!
00:13:58Hello?
00:14:00Hello?
00:14:02Hello?
00:14:06Ava's in danger. We need to move. Go, go, go!
00:14:14You think someone's coming to save you?
00:14:35Who 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.
00:15:00Pennies for somebody of your wealth.
00:15:02Derek, you're sick!
00:15:03I'm your sister, this is your nephew.
00:15:05My son's future is more important to me than that stupid little bastard of yours!
00:15:10Hey, hey, no need to be so rough with such a beautiful lady.
00:15:16Now, dear, just take this right here, and it'll make things easier for everybody.
00:15:23Oh, okay, you're a little feisty, I see.
00:15:29Maybe you just need a little personal attention.
00:15:31Come on.
00:15:35Ah!
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 another hair.
00:16:03Who the hell do you think you are?
00:16:05I'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?
00:16:16Ava is my brother's widow, and 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, it's true.
00:16:30I swear, we didn't know.
00:16:32Please, please.
00:16:32You will be dealt with.
00:16:34Please, painful what 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!
00:16:43Goodbye.
00:16:53I will be there!
00:16:54I will be there!
00:16:56I am!
00:17:00I am!
00:17:02I am.
00:17:02Mom, hey.
00:17:23How's Ava? How's the baby?
00:17:25The doctors are examining her now.
00:17:26Doctor, 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.
00:17:55The pain would be too excruciating.
00:17:59This baby is Marco's only child, his only heir.
00:18:04I can't risk losing it.
00:18:06I can handle the pain.
00:18:08Oh, my brave girl.
00:18:11God bless you.
00:18:13You know, I think somebody should be with her during the operation.
00:18:17The pain would be just too intense.
00:18:19I'll stay with her.
00:18:25How'd it go, doctor?
00:18:45It's a success.
00:18:46You'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.
00:19:14Let me help you.
00:19:15I 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, no, it's not about money.
00:20:00Marco always said that we should make our own way.
00:20:05And I want our child to know his father and know what he valued.
00:20:13You are as stubborn as he was.
00:20:17Well, you're going to need protection.
00:20:20You'll accompany her.
00:20:21No, no, no, no, no, no, I can manage on my own.
00:20:30In the morning, 10 a.m., I'll be at the entrance.
00:20:42You know that I can talk to your manager for you, make 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.
00:20:54No, Ava, you do not need to be afraid of me.
00:20:58I can help you.
00:20:59Whenever you need.
00:21:00Why is she even back?
00:21:20That pregnant belly ruins a sore'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.
00:21:31Could you reassign her to the warehouse?
00:21:33Maybe move some stock around?
00:21:34And if something happens to her or the baby, you want that liability?
00:21:37We can't fire her, but we certainly can make her life difficult enough that she decides to quit on her own.
00:21:46And that concludes our quarterly revenue projections.
00:21:58Sir, forgive my directness, but are we here because you're concerned about your sister-in-law?
00:22:17Should I have the car brought around for your next meeting?
00:22:26Can I answer the meeting?
00:22:27I've been meaning to talk to you, given your, um, condition.
00:22:36I've been worried about potential liability issues.
00:22:40My pregnancy will not affect my performance.
00:22:42I do not intend to take advantage of company policy.
00:22:46Oh, 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, and 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.
00:23:21Sir, half 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.
00:23:56She did make it clear that she doesn't want any special treatment, but I have been neglecting my own wardrobe.
00:24:03And the Rossi 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.
00:24:12And I should do some personal shopping, shouldn't I?
00:24:14Sir, may I assist you?
00:24:21Sir, this limited edition silk tie would go perfect with your conflections.
00:24:25Sir, I'd be happy to take your measurements, personally.
00:24:29Sir, as store manager, I would be honored to assist you with your needs myself.
00:24:36I'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?
00:24:47Right this way, sir.
00:24:54All right, I just need to take your measurements.
00:24:57Whoa, what are you doing?
00:25:00Your measurements up there?
00:25:01I just needed you to take the jacket off.
00:25:05Well, we don't have much time.
00:25:11Just trust me.
00:25:13I know.
00:25:19Now, measure me like this.
00:25:22Ava, time is almost up.
00:25:52I did it.
00:26:11I saved my job, and I made a new sales record.
00:26:16There's no reason to thank me.
00:26:18I'm here to help.
00:26:19We'll never need it.
00:26:20I hate to do this, but Ava Jackson, you're fired.
00:26:29What?
00:26:31No.
00:26:33I met your target, and then some.
00:26:34Oh.
00:26:35That last sale?
00:26:37The 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.
00:26:46I get it.
00:26:52You threatened them into silence.
00:26:54Well, that won't work either, because the security cameras caught everything.
00:26:59What a horrible timing.
00:27:11Unfortunately, the security cameras are down for maintenance today.
00:27:15But fortunately, everyone here saw you destroy thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
00:27:21You guys, you 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.
00:27:30I'm sorry, sir, but we're closed for the day.
00:27:41I 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.
00:27:46The police work for me.
00:27:48Are you?
00:27:49Luca Mancini?
00:27:50I'm going to have to ask you to leave, or I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
00:28:20Please stop.
00:28:45I 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 we're talking about.
00:29:00We need to go.
00:29:01And by the way, you're fired.
00:29:03Let's go.
00:29:04Mom could just do it.
00:29:05How dare that woman mess with my family.
00:29:15I will make sure, personally, that she suffers for it.
00:29:19You don't have to worry about that anymore.
00:29:22It'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.
00:29:28Just as this is served.
00:29:31That'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, Mom.
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 some more substitute 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.
00:30:20It'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.
00:30:44Ava 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.
00:30:53Would 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.
00:31:25First prenatal checkup together, I'm guessing.
00:31:27The baby looks perfectly healthy.
00:31:36Current length is about three inches with a strong heart rate.
00:31:41Is 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.
00:32:10For 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.
00:32:29Doctor, is that really appropriate?
00:32:32What's inappropriate about it?
00:32:34This is what husbands do.
00:32:38Okay.
00:32:39Okay.
00:32:39Okay.
00:32:49Sorry, did I hurt you?
00:32:54No, no.
00:32:55It just feels strange.
00:32:58Like this.
00:33:00Top to bottom.
00:33:01Left to right.
00:33:03Gentle strokes.
00:33:07Got it?
00:33:09Got it.
00:33:11Do this once daily.
00:33:13Five to ten minutes each.
00:33:16You can sit up now.
00:33:19So, everything good with the baby?
00:33:27Any special instructions I should know about?
00:33:31Nothing.
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.
00:33:40Before 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.
00:34:07Miss 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, 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?
00:34:36Hey, hey, hey.
00:34:36Rossi's family lack of manners never 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.
00:34:56Oh, 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.
00:35:12Yes.
00:35:13See if there's any connection between that pregnant woman and Luca.
00:35:26I'm not buying this whole sister-in-law act for one second.
00:35:29You got it.
00:35:34You look so handsome.
00:35:36Well, well, well, it looks like my stubborn son
00:35:42has good taste after all.
00:35:45Luca did an excellent job selecting this gown.
00:35:48It is perfect for you.
00:35:50Luca picked this?
00:35:54I've never been anywhere this fancy before.
00:35:57I might embarrass you guys.
00:36:01Don'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?
00:36:17You're my pride for me.
00:36:29Ooh!
00:36:32I'm gonna sit there.
00:36:35You're my pride.
00:36:36Right there.
00:36:51No problem.
00:36:53Just don't want you to fall.
00:37:06Who'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, my eldest son, Marco's wife.
00:37:26Marco's wife?
00:37:28She'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 cross a scene here.
00:37:42It's fine.
00:37:43She's always like this.
00:37:46We 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, why don't you entertain us all with a performance of some kind?
00:37:58Look, she used to deliver food for a living.
00:38:00Waitress, retail clerk, cleaning lady?
00:38:04What could someone with her background possibly perform for this grab?
00:38:18Ava, how does this piece go again?
00:38:20I'm completely lost here.
00:38:22I've forgotten everything that you've told me.
00:38:25There's no way she could actually play.
00:38:27She's just a nobody from nowhere.
00:38:30He has to be setting her up.
00:38:31Even Miss Mancini is smiling, just waiting for her to crash and burn.
00:38:35I was just playing for the baby.
00:38:56I think he recognized the music you were playing for us earlier.
00:39:02Well, maybe you should teach me sometime, properly.
00:39:06I'd like to play for you both.
00:39:11Because Mom did tell me to look after you, so it's the least that I can do.
00:39:15One, two, and there.
00:39:31One, two, and there.
00:40:01They're definitely more than in-laws.
00:40:07Look at the way they play together.
00:40:09If I can't have him, I'll destroy them both.
00:40:18Yeah, I always enjoy these type of events.
00:40:20Me too.
00:40:21That habit's good.
00:40:22From Miss Russell.
00:40:24The continents.
00:40:25Cheers.
00:40:26Sir, that drink is almost certainly drugged.
00:40:33Obviously.
00:40:34Is the Rossi family making a move against us?
00:40:37These 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.
00:41:00I 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.
00:41:05Sophia's bedroom.
00:41:32Why is Luca's phone in there?
00:41:35And why am I jealous?
00:41:53I've wanted Luca for years.
00:41:55And then you waltz in and get his attention in weeks?
00:42:02You 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.
00:42:11This isn't convincing.
00:42:12Unbutton their clothes.
00:42:20Sal, position them closer together.
00:42:22Make it look more intimate.
00:42:25Perfect.
00:42:30Let's go.
00:42:31Our masterpiece is complete.
00:42:32Now we just have to bring in an audience.
00:42:44I expected much more than just this juvenile prank from my business partner.
00:42:48Ava, wake up.
00:43:02Ava.
00:43:04Ava.
00:43:05Ava.
00:43:05Ava.
00:43:13Oh my God.
00:43:17What happened to us?
00:43:25This is bad.
00:43:27This is bad.
00:43:36If anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:43:39Luca, wake up.
00:43:45Wake up.
00:43:49Okay.
00:43:50Come out.
00:43:52Oh!

00:50:28nothing
00:50:28Nothing. My clothes were dirty, so Luca prepared for me a shower and clean clothes.
00:50:35Oh, thank goodness. The last thing we need is for you to catch pneumonia.
00:50:40Yeah, I know.
00:50:42Eva, 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.
00:50:55And we don't want to betray his memory.
00:51:00Oh, you poor thing. You must be utterly exhausted.
00:51:03Let's get you home.
00:51:05These Rossis are nothing but trouble.
00:51:08We need to accelerate our plans against them.
00:51:20Marco.
00:51:21Marco.
00:51:24I miss you.
00:51:25I feel so lost without you.
00:51:34Would you hate me if you knew I had feelings for your brother?
00:51:43Eva, are you in there?
00:51:52Eva, are you there?
00:51:53I 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.
00:52:08Eva, I love you.
00:52:10I understand how difficult this is.
00:52:27I understand how difficult this is.
00:52:27Your loyalty for Marco and 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.
00:52:43And the pin number is your birthday.
00:52:45Wait for me.
00:53:14The baby's development is right on track.
00:53:30Perfect, actually.
00:53:31How's your husband been doing those tactile bonding exercises I showed you?
00:53:37Doctor.
00:53:38Actually, 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.
00:53:52Helena, 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.
00:54:21Do you have anything?
00:54:23Who exactly are you welcoming home, dear daughter-in-law?
00:54:34I was just talking nonsense.
00:54:46I'll get it.
00:54:47Miss, flowers from Mr. Mancini.
00:54:57Thank you so much.
00:55:12Bye.
00:55:13Bye.
00:55:16Bye.
00:55:20Bye.
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.
00:55:49Security 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.
00:56:11You 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?
00:56:35That's not rehash the past.
00:56:39Of 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.
00:56:54Look, I stood up for you to Derek, and he threw me out.
00:56:59I had absolutely nothing left.
00:57:00This 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.
00:57:23How much money are we talking about?
00:57:24$10,000.
00:57:28$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 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?
00:58:55It'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?
00:59:53Sir, per your instructions, they were all talented women.
00:59:56No 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, it's terrible news.
01:00:30Luca's jet has been destroyed amid a flight.
01:00:31He... he'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.
01:00:46He 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.
01:01:01You come alone, or he dies.
01:01:03You have 24 hours.
01:01:05Oh, 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.
01:01:21Okay.
01:01:22Okay.
01:01:36Okay.
01:01:37Okay.
01:01:38Okay.
01:01:38Money first.
01:01:40Ow!
01:01:50You okay?
01:01:54Derek, where's Luke?
01:02:00Where's Luke?
01:02:02Don't worry about him, Luke.
01:02:04Worry about yourself.
01:02:10Yeah, with her as our bargaining chip,
01:02:26we can demand a hundred million dollars from the Manchins.
01:02:32Easy.
01:02:34Mom, why are you doing this?
01:02:36Poor family.
01:02:38He's treating me so terribly.
01:02:40Family?
01:02:44You 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
01:02:52that she brought home to be our live-in servant.
01:02:56You'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,
01:03:14since we're being honest with each other right now,
01:03:16my whole leg injury,
01:03:18it's kind of my fault.
01:03:20But it was a great excuse to get you to basically
01:03:24give up your life and be our slave in all these years.
01:03:32You know what?
01:03:34Even though you're nothing but a bunch of orphan trash,
01:03:38you're actually very beautiful.
01:03:42So since we're giving up this whole
01:03:44brother-sister roleplay thing,
01:03:48I don't want to do something
01:03:50that I've wanted to do
01:03:52for a very, very long time.
01:03:56Stop, Dirk! You're sick!
01:03:58Shhh!
01:04:00Shhh!
01:04:02Now let's just keep that pretty little mouth of yours quiet,
01:04:06shall we?
01:04:12You fucking bitch!
01:04:14Shhh!
01:04:36Oh God, you're alive!
01:04:38You're okay!
01:04:40Ah!
01:04:42My plane blew up!
01:04:44Ava gets kidnapped!
01:04:46This isn't a coincidence!
01:04:48Who are you looking for?
01:04:50Answer me!
01:04:54Hey, make them stop!
01:04:56He's your brother!
01:04:58They'll kill him!
01:05:00You just told me I'm an orphan,
01:05:02so he's not really my little brother.
01:05:04You better tell me who your accomplices are,
01:05:06or he stops breathing.
01:05:08You two should be ashamed of yourself.
01:05:10You two should be ashamed of yourselves.
01:05:12Yeah, I see the way that you look at each other.
01:05:14He's your dead husband's brother!
01:05:16You're a betrayer, Marco, and his mother!
01:05:20Are you alright?
01:05:22Hey, hey, hey, hey!
01:05:24You okay?
01:05:26Yeah, yeah.
01:05:28Your mom has been so kind to me,
01:05:30and I dragged her into this mess.
01:05:32It's all my fault.
01:05:34Your mother-in-law took you in.
01:05:36She treated you like a daughter.
01:05:38She gave you everything that you could ever want,
01:05:40and this is how you repay her?
01:05:42By falling for her younger son?
01:05:44Have you already forgotten?
01:05:46Marco is his grave?
01:05:48What is wrong with you?
01:05:50I want her as my daughter-in-law.
01:05:54First my eldest son's wife,
01:05:58and now my youngest.
01:06:00Objective then,
01:06:02and you'll lose your tongue.
01:06:04You couldn't have Luca,
01:06:08so you decided to try and kill him?
01:06:22Good thing he changed his flight plan
01:06:24at the last minute, hmm?
01:06:26Cross the Mancinis,
01:06:28and you cease to exist.
01:06:30Release me!
01:06:32My father will burn your empire to the ground!
01:06:36Don't you wonder why my son was gone all that time?
01:06:44Your family's power?
01:06:48Already the law.
01:07:02You two have risked everything to be together.
01:07:06I can see that Luca's devotion is absolute.
01:07:12You have endured far too much pain.
01:07:16It's time to let him take care of you.
01:07:19But, Marco, I made a promise to him.
01:07:24And Marco would want your happiness above all else.
01:07:30He will rest easier.
01:07:32Knowing that we are protecting you,
01:07:36and your child.
01:07:42From this moment forward,
01:07:44I swear to you nobody will ever look at me.
01:07:50Luca, you're bleeding.
01:07:52You're bleeding.
01:07:56You gotta keep this clean.
01:07:57Yeah.
01:07:58Infections can get nasty.
01:08:04So you're saying that you care about me then?
01:08:06Shut up.
01:08:08Of course I care.
01:08:14Hi.
01:08:15Wait.
01:08:17Hi.
01:08:18Hi.
01:08:19Hi.
01:08:20Hi.
01:08:23Hi.
01:08:27Hi.
01:08:28I think he likes you.
01:08:44Yeah.
01:08:48Ava, I will take care of you and 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.
01:09:08I think maybe you should get some less.
01:09:11Okay.
01:09:15Oh, wait.
01:09:19What is it?
01:09:20I think I'm in labor.
01:09:22Oh my god.
01:09:22Come on.
01:09:25Take easy sleep.
01:09:26What is taking so long?
01:09:33Is something wrong?
01:09:34She's gone into labor early.
01:09:36Have 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.
01:09:45What 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, yes.
01:09:54We'll do anything, Mon.
01:09:55It's no object.
01:09:55Just help her.
01:09:57Some intimate touches can help her relax and feel better.
01:10:02Right here.
01:10:07Right here.
01:10:09Yes.
01:10:13Mom, I can't.
01:10:15Just whip it out.
01:10:16Don't do it.
01:10:18Hurry it up.
01:10:19Okay.
01:10:27Okay.
01:10:27Hold on.
01:10:32Hold on.
01:10:32Oh PREP.
01:10:33Okay.
01:10:33I hope things are going smoothly in there.
01:10:52They've never been together before.
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.
01:11:03Are you okay?
01:11:08Doctor, please!
01:11:10Doctor, please!
01:11:17Three, one, two, three, push.
01:11:19One, two, three, push.
01:11:23One, two, three, push.
01:11:24Push, push, push!
01:11:25Push!
01:11:26Three, two, three, push!
01:11:30It's your baby.
01:11:32Three, two, three, push.
01:11:38Hey.
01:11:38Hey.
01:11:43Hi.
01:11:44How are you feeling?
01:11:45Good.
01:11:46You want something to eat?
01:11:48Okay.
01:11:49Okay.
01:11:54I thought this hospital was the best that money can buy.
01:11:57I guess I was misinformed.
01:12:00Look, they're doing the best they can.
01:12:03That's not terrorizing stuff.
01:12:07Look, I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:11You would tear me apart.
01:12:14Hmm.
01:12:20Luca, remember to control yourself, son.
01:12:26Let her recover first.
01:12:33There you go.
01:12:35Yeah, just like me.
01:12:37Hi.
01:12:38And have you decided what to name this little prince?
01:12:43Marco.
01:12:43Marco.
01:12:46Marco.
01:12:46I want to name him Marco.
01:12:48Look, little one.
01:12:51It's your daddy.
01:12:52Look, little one.
01:12:56It's your daddy.
01:13:14It's your real daddy.
01:13:16It's remarkable how much he looks like.
01:13:24Marco.
01:13:25Marco.
01:13:26I thought you had all the answers.
01:13:30And that you handle everything.
01:13:31And I promise to protect mom, the business, and your family, our family.
01:13:42I hear you on the radio.
01:13:45You know, I just want to see you on the radio.
01:13:49You 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.
01:14:05I hear you on the radio.
01:14:18Miss, Mrs. Mancini's wedding gifts, the finest villas, the Mancini family jewelry, and finally, 30% ownership of Mancini group holdings, effective immediately.
01:14:38This ring has been in the Mancini family for seven generations, passed from mother to daughter-in-law.
01:14:56Thank you, woman.
01:15:03A perfect fit.
01:15:08Now, 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.
01:15:29Mom, we're at a church, and there are witnesses.
