Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Mr. 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 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 get 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 me yours.
00:01:08Ava, I have fallen in love with you.
00:01:10I'm your brother's wife.
00:01:12We didn't do anything wrong, so why are you worried?
00:01:14If you knew I had feelings for your brother, would you hate me?
00:01:18I should never have let you go undercover on that damn business, dear.
00:01:36I never even got to say goodbye.
00:01:38Marco, my brother, I will protect your legacy.
00:01:42And I will protect our family.
00:01:50Hey, hey!
00:01:51Roy!
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 reach you.
00:01:57Luca, look at her.
00:01:59She's hardly a threat.
00:02:00Look at her.
00:02:01She's hardly a threat.
00:02:08For the flowers, and for the interruption, my apologies.
00:02:14Senor Mancini, Mr. Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson.
00:02:27And she was carrying his child.
00:02:31Get the car.
00:02:33Let me bring my daughter-in-law home.
00:02:35Where she belongs.
00:02:36Don't worry, little one.
00:02:45We'll get through this together.
00:02:48Somehow.
00:02:52Well, looky here.
00:02:55Family Jinx is finally six feet under.
00:02:57Derek, have you lost your mind?
00:03:07What the hell was that?
00:03:10Don't tell me that you're actually planning on keeping that little parasite.
00:03:14This 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.
00:03:24We've been struggling while you've been out here playing the grieving widow.
00:03:29Give 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.
00:03:52Sweetheart.
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 the hell is going on here? Who the hell are you people?
00:04:31Ava, right?
00:04:33You were here this morning.
00:04:35Enough, Luca.
00:04:37She's hardly up to that.
00:04:41Ma'am?
00:04:42I'm Helena Mancini.
00:04:43I'm Helena Mancini.
00:04:44Markov's mother.
00:04:49That means I'm your baby's grandmother.
00:04:52The most powerful mafia family in the country.
00:04:57Marco was my oldest.
00:04:59He was my golden boy.
00:05:00I am so sorry that he concealed his identity from you.
00:05:05You have endured far too much suffering because of it.
00:05:10Plain make-believe? Mancini?
00:05:15Seriously, 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.
00:05:25Permanently.
00:05:27What 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.
00:05:43One by one.
00:05:48Come along, my dear.
00:05:50Let's get you home.
00:05:52To your real home.
00:05:56Come on.
00:05:58To your real home.
00:05:59Oh, my dear.
00:06:00Come on.
00:06:02Go.
00:06:03Go.
00:06:07Welcome home, Senora Eva Mancini.
00:06:10Welcome home, Senora Eva Mancini.
00:06:15Welcome home, Senora Eva Mancini.
00:06:17This is where Marco lives.
00:06:19And now, it's your home too.
00:06:22Allow me to introduce you to your personal staff, Mrs. Mancini, your nutritionist, nanny, maternity nurse, each of the finest specialists money can acquire.
00:06:38We pledge your absolute dedication to your health and well-being, Signore.
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.
00:06:57I married Marco for love, not for his fortune.
00:07:02Practical 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.
00:07:19There's a flower girl in the cemetery.
00:07:24Luca, come meet Ava, your brother's wife.
00:07:27Please, show her proper.
00:07:32Respect!
00:07:33You walk back into a Mancini household?
00:07:37You're either incredibly stupid or incredibly brave.
00:07:43Luca, open this door immediately!
00:07:48Everyone 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?
00:08:06My 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?
00:08:15I 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?
00:08:34Question the line you are, but don't you dare question my child.
00:08:42That's my girl.
00:08:44Backbone of steel.
00:08:46Are you hurt?
00:08:49Luca, you are too rude.
00:08:51Ava is a good girl.
00:08:52You are falsely accusing her.
00:08:55Come on, sweetie.
00:08:56Mom's going to take you and get some clothes.
00:08:58Pay no attention to this fool.
00:08:59You may be fooling them, but I will find out about you, and I will expose you.
00:09:23These are all the latest European styles.
00:09:26Take your pick.
00:09:28I 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.
00:09:37Try to be open and honest.
00:09:41This weight on my chest, I don't want it.
00:09:44Try to be open and honest.
00:09:46Try to be open and honest.
00:09:50This weight on my chest, I don't want it.

00:16:03who the hell you think you are
00:16:08i'm looking at Mancini Mancini you idiot
00:16:12you killed me how 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 her 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 tenfold what you did to Ava.
00:16:40Get a doctor!
00:16:41Get a doctor!
00:16:42Get a car and deal with him.
00:16:55Get a car, get a car, get a car, get a car.
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.
00:17:40So we need to have consent before we can proceed.
00:17:44Do it, whatever it takes.
00:17:46No!
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.
00:18:20How'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.
00:19:26I 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.
00:19:35No.
00:19:37Mom, I cannot accept that.
00:19:40We're family.
00:19:42It's what you deserve.
00:19:44Actually, I've been thinking about doing something else.
00:19:49Hmm.
00:19:49I'd like to go back to work.
00:19:52Work?
00:19:53But, but, 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.
00:20:05And I want our child to know his father and know what he valued.
00:20:13You are as stubborn as he was.
00:20:15Look, 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.
00:20:42You 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.
00:20:50Hmm.
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.
00:21:15Why 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.
00:21:31Could you reassign her to the warehouse?
00:21:33Maybe move some stock around?
00:21:34And if something happens to her or the baby,
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.
00:21:46And that concludes our quarterly revenue projections.
00:22:11Sir, forgive my directness,
00:22:13but are we here because you're concerned
00:22:16about your sister-in-law?
00:22:23Should I have the car brought around
00:22:24for your next meeting?
00:22:26Can I answer the meeting?
00:22:31I've been meaning to talk to you,
00:22:34given your, um, condition.
00:22:36I've been worried about potential liability issues.
00:22:40My 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,
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.
00:23:01That's weird.
00:23:02Good.
00:23:08To all the doubters, doubters.
00:23:13To those who don't believe
00:23:15This is the hour, hour.
00:23:19You'll see
00:23:21that we're all gonna make matters
00:23:23out of obstacles
00:23:24and stepping stones from roadblocks.
00:23:26Tip over the lines,
00:23:27they say we won't cross.
00:23:29Sir, half an hour until closing, and Mrs. Mancini has already surpassed the store's average monthly sales in a single day.
00:23:49But she's still a great deal short of the manager's impossible target.
00:23:53She did make it clear that she doesn't want any special treatment, 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.
00:24:12Then I should do some special shopping, shouldn't I?
00:24:19Sir, may I assist you?
00:24:21Um...
00:24:21Sir!
00:24:22Sir, this limited edition silk tie would go perfect with your complexion.
00:24:26Sir, 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.
00:24:46Shall we begin?
00:24:47Right this way, sir.
00:24:48All right, I just need to take your measurements.
00:24:57Whoa, what are you doing?
00:25:00Do you measure me up here?
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 to take the jacket off.
00:25:09Come on.
00:25:11What are you doing?
00:25:12Should I do this?
00:25:12Do you trust me?
00:25:13I know.
00:25:19Now, imagine me like this.
00:25:24Okay.
00:25:26Fuck me.
00:25:27Ava, time is almost up.
00:25:57I did it!
00:26:10I saved my job and I made a new sales record.
00:26:16It's no reason to thank me.
00:26:18I'm here to help whenever you need help.
00:26:22I hate to do this, but Ava Jackson, you're fired.
00:26:29What?
00:26:31No, I met your target and then some.
00:26:34Oh, that last sale, the one that put you over the top, that was actually mine.
00:26:40You're trying to steal my commission.
00:26:42Well, that won't work because everyone in this store saw me make that sale.
00:26:47I get it.
00:26:52You threatened them into silence.
00:26:54Well, that won't work either.
00:26:56Because the security cameras caught everything.
00:26:59Security cameras?
00:27:01What a horrible timing.
00:27:10Unfortunately, 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.
00:27:25So 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 this store get trashed.
00:27:42I'm gonna have to ask you to leave or I'm gonna have to call the police.
00:27:45The police work for me.
00:27:47Are you?
00:27:48Luca Mancini?
00:27:50Can you see me?
00:27:54Are you serious?
00:27:56What?
00:27:57Yeah.
00:27:58I love you.
00:28:00I love you.
00:28:05I love you.
00:28:07You may be your friend.
00:28:08I love you.
00:28:09I love you too.
00:28:11I love you.
00:28:12You may be your friend.
00:28:14I'm too young.
00:28:15Tim, I love you.
00:28:16I love you.
00:28:17You're gonna have to call me.
00:28:18Please stop. I admit it. I was wrong.
00:28:46Who 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.
00:28:58Hugo, what happened?
00:28:59There's nothing we're talking about. We need to go.
00:29:01And by the way, you're fired.
00:29:03Let's go. Mom could just do it.
00:29:10Uchidero, questa sronza.
00:29:12How 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.
00:29:31That'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, Mommy.
00:29:47I transferred five million dollars into your personal account for prenatal care.
00:29:52I am worried about the baby's well-being.
00:29:56Luca, I'd like you to take her to the doctor tomorrow for an exam.
00:30:00No, that's really not necessary.
00:30:06I have those meetings in Europe, so possibly I could have some more substituted.
00:30:11Yeah, and I'm perfectly capable of going by myself.
00:30:14I don't want to travel, Luca, with something so routine.
00:30:19It's decided.
00:30:22Cancel whatever meetings you have.
00:30:24I want you to take her.
00:30:26I will not stand for any more incidents.
00:30:30Yes, Mother.
00:30:44Ava Jackson, we're ready for you now.
00:30:47Dad should come, too.
00:30:48We encourage partner participation.
00:30:51Oh, no, he's not.
00:30:56Would you prefer that I explain that I'm your dead husband's brother?
00:31:00That might be a bit awkward.
00:31:02Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, please come in when you're ready.
00:31:04Coming.
00:31:12If you could lift your top up slightly and lower your skirt band just a bit, we'll get started.
00:31:18First prenatal checkup together, I'm guessing.
00:31:26The baby looks perfectly healthy.
00:31:35Current length is about three inches with a strong heart rate.
00:31:40Is the baby moving?
00:31:42Yes, indeed.
00:31:43Yes, indeed.
00:31:44Look there.
00:31:45The little one's making faces.
00:31:48Quite the expressive child already.
00:31:52The 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?
00:32:20Yes.
00:32:21It'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?
00:32:32What's inappropriate about it?
00:32:34This is what husbands do.
00:32:39Okay.
00:32:52Sorry, did I hurt you?
00:32:54No, no, no.
00:32:55It just feels strange.
00:32:56Like this.
00:32:57Mm-hmm.
00:32:58Top to bottom, left to right.
00:32:59Gentle strokes.
00:33:00Got it?
00:33:01Got it.
00:33:02Do this once daily, five to ten minutes each.
00:33:15You can sit up now.
00:33:16Huh.
00:33:17So, everything good with the baby?
00:33:18Any special instructions I should know about?
00:33:19Nothing.
00:33:20Nothing.
00:33:21No.
00:33:22The doctor did say that the baby is developing beautifully, and there's nothing to worry about.
00:33:38Good news, then.
00:33:41Before I forget, the Rossi family's daughter is having her birthday celebration next weekend,
00:33:48and we should all attend.
00:33:50The 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.
00:34:14Should we send Ava upstairs?
00:34:16No, no, it's fine.
00:34:17I'm here.
00:34:18We can just...
00:34:22Good 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 never disappoints me.
00:34:39Luca Mancini, how dare you speak to me like that?
00:34:43Miss Rossi, right?
00:34:44I've heard so much about your family.
00:34:48I'm Ava, Marco's wife.
00:34:51Marco was Luca's brother.
00:34:56Oh, okay.
00:34:57I thought you were carrying Luca's baby.
00:35:00That's good, because I'm nice.
00:35:02I came all this way to bring you that, and this is how you welcome me?
00:35:06Don't disappoint me at the party, darling.
00:35:08Wear something sharp.
00:35:10Yes.
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.
00:35:28You got it.
00:35:29You look so handsome.
00:35:39Well, well, well.
00:35:40It looks like my stubborn son has good taste after all.
00:35:45Luca did an excellent job selecting this gown.
00:35:47It is perfect for you.
00:35:49Luca picked this?
00:35:51I've never been anywhere this fancy before.
00:35:56I might embarrass you guys.
00:35:59Oh, don't even worry about it.
00:36:02You are my pride and joy.
00:36:04Besides, Luca will be with us the whole time, and he'll make sure everything runs smoothly.
00:36:13Luca?
00:36:14What about her shoes?
00:36:15How could you forget something so basic?
00:36:17Wait.
00:36:18What are you going to do?
00:36:19I got it.
00:36:20I can't.
00:36:23I got it.
00:36:24Right there.
00:36:51No problem.
00:36:53I just don't want you to fall.
00:37:09Who'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 married.
00:37:17Must be his mistress.
00:37:19Everyone, I would like to introduce Ava Mancini, my eldest son Marco's wife.
00:37:26Marco's wife?
00:37:27She's stunning.
00:37:28This is my birthday party!
00:37:33I'm supposed to be the center of attention, not some pregnant woman.
00:37:40Maybe we shouldn't cause a scene here.
00:37:42It's fine.
00:37:43She's always like this.
00:37:45We didn't mean to steal your spotlight.
00:37:48An apology simply isn't enough.
00:37:51Since you're Luca's sister-in-law, why don't you entertain us all with a performance of some kind?
00:37:57Look, she used to deliver food for a living.
00:38:00Waitress, retail clerk, cleaning lady?
00:38:03What 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.
00:38:24There's no way she could actually play.
00:38:27She's just a nobody from nowhere.
00:38:29He has to be setting her up.
00:38:31Even Miss Mancini is smiling.
00:38:33Just waiting for her to crash and burn.
00:38:54I was just playing for the baby.
00:38:57I 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.
00:39:16One, two, three, and there.
00:39:46The Dropnants
00:40:07They're definitely more than in-laws.
00:40:08Look at the way they play together.
00:40:10If I can't have him, I'll destroy them both.
00:40:12Yeah, I always enjoy these type of events.
00:40:20Me too.
00:40:21That habit's good.
00:40:22From Miss Rossi.
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?
00:40:42Do 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.
00:41:07Okay.
00:41:12Sophia's bedroom.
00:41:13Why is Luca's phone in there?
00:41:14And why am I jealous?
00:41:27Sophia's bedroom.
00:41:28Why is Luca's phone in there?
00:41:29And why am I jealous?
00:41:30Sophia's bedroom.
00:41:31Why is Luca's phone in there?
00:41:32And why am I jealous?
00:41:33Sophia's bedroom.
00:41:34I've wanted Luca for years.
00:41:35And then you waltz in and get his attention in weeks.
00:41:40You won't look so innocent when everyone sees you in bed next to your dead husband's
00:41:42brother.
00:41:43This isn't exactly how you wanted it.
00:41:44Not at all.
00:41:45This isn't convincing.
00:41:46Unbutton their clothes.
00:41:47You won't look so innocent when everyone sees you in bed next to your dead husband's
00:42:06brother.
00:42:07This isn't exactly how you wanted it.
00:42:08Not at all.
00:42:09This isn't convincing.
00:42:10Unbutton their clothes.
00:42:11Sal, position them closer together.
00:42:22Make it look more intimate.
00:42:24Perfect.
00:42:25Let's go.
00:42:26Our masterpiece is complete.
00:42:27Now we just have to bring in an audience.
00:42:31I expected much more than just this juvenile prank from my business partner.
00:43:00Wake up.
00:43:01Evil.
00:43:02Evil.
00:43:03Evil.
00:43:04Evil.
00:43:05Oh my god.
00:43:06What happened to us?
00:43:07This is bad.
00:43:12Oh my god.
00:43:17What happened to us?
00:43:21This is bad.
00:43:26If anyone sees us like this they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:43:43Mancini family name won't be destroyed.
00:43:44Okay.
00:43:45Okay.
00:43:46Okay.
00:43:47Okay.
00:43:48I'm out.
00:43:49Oh!
00:43:50Jesus.
00:43:51People are coming.
00:43:52You're acting like we had some tort affair.
00:43:53We didn't do anything wrong.
00:43:54So why are you worrying?
00:43:55I'm your late brother's widow and I'm carrying his child.
00:43:56If anyone sees us like this they'll, the Mancini family name won't be destroyed.
00:43:57Okay.
00:43:58Okay.
00:43:59Okay.
00:44:00Okay.
00:44:01Okay.
00:44:02Okay.
00:44:03Oh, so Mancini name is what you're concerned about.
00:44:04Is that it?
00:44:05Hey, hey, hey.
00:44:06You haven't answered me.
00:44:07Thank you all so much for coming today to celebrate me.
00:44:14But I do have some rather important information to share with you all.
00:44:20I have just discovered Luca Mancini in a rather compromising position with his brother's pregnant widow in my bedroom.
00:44:45Can you let go?
00:44:52They're coming.
00:44:53They're coming.
00:44:54Come here.
00:44:55Here, I got this one.
00:44:56Watch out.
00:44:57Wait, stop.
00:44:58Watch.
00:44:59They're right there.
00:45:00If we walk through that door, we'll walk right into their trap.
00:45:02Okay, then what's your brilliant idea?
00:45:03Yes, ma'am.
00:45:04Um, we...
00:45:05Let's go through the window.
00:45:06We can climb down.
00:45:07What's your brilliant idea?
00:45:08Yes, ma'am.
00:45:09Um, we...
00:45:10Let's go through the window.
00:45:11We can climb down.
00:45:12Whoa, whoa, whoa, no.
00:45:13I...
00:45:14No, no.
00:45:15I'm...
00:45:16I'm...
00:45:17I'm...
00:45:18I'm afraid of heights.
00:45:19You're what?
00:45:20Um...
00:45:21Sorry.
00:45:22I just didn't realize the great Luca Mancini had fears like the rest of us.
00:45:26Yeah.
00:45:27You know, that's one of my fears and I don't advertise it, so...
00:45:30Deal with it.
00:45:31What the hell, Steve?
00:45:33Where are these cheaters you promised to expose?
00:45:34Keep it down, you idiot.
00:45:35You don't want to wake them.
00:45:36I mean, we don't want to alert them to give them a chance to escape.
00:45:37They're coming.
00:45:38Let's go.
00:45:39Okay.
00:45:40Hurry, hurry.
00:45:41No, no, no, no.
00:45:42Don't run.
00:45:43We have to catch them in the act first.
00:45:44Are you insane?
00:45:45Your house is on fire.
00:45:46Who cares about the gossip?
00:45:47Let's get out of here.
00:45:48No, no, no, no.
00:45:49Let's get out of here.
00:45:50No, no, no.
00:45:51No, no, no.
00:45:52I'll help everyone leave afterwards.
00:45:53But first, let's get a look at them.
00:45:54Come on.
00:45:55Ah!
00:45:56Ah!
00:45:57Ah!
00:45:58Ah!
00:45:59Ah!
00:46:00Ah!
00:46:01Ah!
00:46:02Ah!
00:46:03Ah!
00:46:04Ah!
00:46:05Ah!
00:46:06Ah!
00:46:07Ah!
00:46:08Ah!
00:46:09Ah!
00:46:10Ah!
00:46:12Ah!
00:46:13Ah!
00:46:14Ah!
00:46:15Ah!
00:46:16Ah!
00:46:17Ah!
00:46:18Ah!
00:46:19Ah!
00:46:20Ah!
00:46:21Ah!
00:46:22Ah!
00:46:23Ah!
00:46:24Ah!
00:46:25Ah!
00:46:26Ah!
00:46:27Ah!
00:46:28Ah!
00:46:29Ah!
00:46:30Ah!
00:46:31What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:46:32I am so sorry.
00:46:33It was an accident.
00:46:34Please.
00:46:35You okay?
00:46:36Yeah.
00:46:37The staff prepared everything for you, and there's hot water in there.
00:46:46And what about you?
00:46:48I'll just be out here, taking guard for you.
00:46:51Now go on.
00:46:52It's warm.
00:46:53Thanks.
00:46:54Thanks.
00:46:55Thanks.
00:46:56Thanks.
00:46:57Thanks.
00:46:58Damn it.
00:47:28What is it?
00:47:30Miss Rossi is demanding to see you, sir.
00:47:32She's quite insistent.
00:47:34Okay, let her in.
00:47:39You set off the fire alarms and completely scared away my guests!
00:47:42You ruined my birthday celebration!
00:47:45Hey! You will take full responsibility for what you did.
00:47:59The drugging, the setup, all of it.
00:48:01And if you ever threaten Ava again, directly or indirectly,
00:48:06I will end the Rossi family from this city permanently.
00:48:10You're a monster.
00:48:12That's her in there, isn't it? Ava?
00:48:14Your 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?
00:48:28Huh.
00:48:37Luca?
00:48:40It's me, wake up.
00:48:50Ava, you're so close.
00:48:52Is this a dream?
00:49:00Luca.
00:49:01I'm your brother's wife.
00:49:03So, this isn't a dream.
00:49:05I, um...
00:49:07Ava...
00:49:08I've had feelings for you for so long.
00:49:11And I've tried to keep them a secret, but I...
00:49:14I 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.
00:49:27Luca, let me go.
00:49:29No, no, no, no.
00:49:30But I can't silence you because, Ava, I have fallen in love with you.
00:49:35Oh, God.
00:49:36That's not funny.
00:49:38Look, I've never been more serious.
00:49:41Look, Ava, every time I come around you, I...
00:49:46I feel myself slipping.
00:49:49And my feelings have crossed that line months ago.
00:49:54Stop.
00:49:55Stop.
00:49:56Just stop.
00:49:57I'll forget this ever happened.
00:49:58No, no, Ava.
00:50:00I want to take care of you.
00:50:03And the baby.
00:50:04For the rest of my life.
00:50:05Luca, what's going on?
00:50:22Why isn't Ava home?
00:50:25What's going on here?
00:50:27Mom, I...
00:50:28Nothing.
00:50:30My clothes were dirty, so Luca prepared for me a shower and clean clothes.
00:50:35Oh, thank goodness.
00:50:37The last thing we need is for you to catch pneumonia.
00:50:40Yeah, I know.
00:50:41Ava, I think that we should probably...
00:50:44Luca, it's almost Marco's birthday.
00:50:49Let's visit his grave.
00:50:51He's your brother and my husband.
00:50:56And we don't want to betray his memory.
00:50:59Oh, you poor thing.
00:51:00You must be utterly exhausted.
00:51:03Let's get you home.
00:51:05These Rossi's are nothing but trouble.
00:51:07We need to accelerate our plans against them.
00:51:10Changing hearts.
00:51:11Changing hearts.
00:51:12Changing hearts.
00:51:13Changing hearts.
00:51:14Changing hearts.
00:51:17Changing hearts.
00:51:19Marco.
00:51:20I miss you.
00:51:25I feel so lost without you.
00:51:30Would you hate me if you knew I had feelings for your brother?
00:51:39Ava, 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, and I want to protect you.
00:52:03Marco and Mom, they would both understand.
00:52:08Ava, I love you.
00:52:24I understand how difficult this is.
00:52:27Your loyalty for Marco and your concern for my mother, that is the compassion that...
00:52:33That's the reason I fell in love with you.
00:52:36There's 30 million dollars on this credit card.
00:52:41And the pin number is your birthday.
00:52:45I've been through epsom flows.
00:52:47Our less goodbye felt like the end.
00:52:50Can't deny, I can't pretend.
00:52:53That this fire burns again.
00:52:56Illuminated 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.
00:53:11I'm falling out of you.
00:53:13No one loves me like you do.
00:53:15That day you and I were through.
00:53:22The baby's development is right on track.
00:53:29Perfect, actually.
00:53:31Has your husband been doing those tactile bonding exercises I showed you?
00:53:36Doctor.
00:53:37Actually, he's not exactly my...
00:53:41No 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.
00:53:55Deep inhale.
00:53:57And 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.
00:54:16And then share and embrace.
00:54:22You have anything?
00:54:27Who exactly are you welcoming home, dear daughter-in-law?
00:54:33I was just talking nonsense.
00:54:46I'll get it.
00:54:52Miss, flowers from Mr. Mancini.
00:55:24I wonder if he's doing well out there.
00:55:28I wonder if he's doing well out there.
00:55:29I like the nervous look on your face when you're starting to think that you're talking too much.
00:55:34I like how we just met, and I'm not even slightly afraid to be opening up.
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?
00:55:51I missed you terribly, sweetheart.
00:55:52I just wanted to check on you and the baby.
00:55:53Look.
00:55:54Fresh oranges.
00:55:55Just pick today.
00:55:56You need the vitamin C for the baby's development.
00:55:57I'm on a very carefully monitored diet.
00:55:58You wasted a trip.
00:55:59Look.
00:56:00I know that you haven't forgiven me, but you have to understand.
00:56:04Derek and Sarah, I mean, they would have thrown me out on the street if I didn't go along with them.
00:56:05I mean, what choice would you have to have?
00:56:06I have to have to have.
00:56:07I know that you haven't forgiven me, but you have to understand.
00:56:09Derek and Sarah, I mean, they would have thrown me out on the street if I didn't go along with them.
00:56:10I mean, what choice did I have?
00:56:11That's not rehash the past.
00:56:12Of course.
00:56:13I don't have to have to.
00:56:14I mean, what choice did I have?
00:56:15That's not rehash the past.
00:56:16Of course.
00:56:17I'm not rehash the past.
00:56:18You need the vitamin C for the baby's development.
00:56:19I'm on a very carefully monitored diet.
00:56:20You wasted a trip.
00:56:21Look.
00:56:22I know that you haven't forgiven me, but you have to understand.
00:56:25Derek and Sarah, I mean, they would have thrown me out on the street if I didn't
00:56:32go along with them.
00:56:33I mean, what choice did I have?
00:56:35That's not rehash the past.
00:56:38Of course.
00:56:40I picked these up for my grandchild.
00:56:43Aren't they precious?
00:56:46That baby that you're carrying is my family too.
00:56:50I love them so much already.
00:56:53Look, I stood up for you to Derek and he threw me out.
00:56:58I got absolutely nothing left.
00:57:05This card contains all the money I've saved.
00:57:12It's yours.
00:57:13But you have to promise me that you'll use it for yourself.
00:57:16Not a penny goes to Derek.
00:57:18Okay.
00:57:19I swear it.
00:57:20Not a cent to him.
00:57:22How much money are we talking about?
00:57:24Ten thousand dollars.
00:57:26Ten thousand?
00:57:28That's it.
00:57:30You're carrying the Mancini heir and all they've given you is ten thousand dollars.
00:57:36That is my personal savings.
00:57:38I haven't asked the Mancinis for a cent.
00:57:41Okay, this is completely unacceptable.
00:57:45Everyone in this city knows that the Mancinis are loaded beyond belief.
00:57:50Come on.
00:57:51You need to milk this situation for all it's worth.
00:57:59Honey, I'm...
00:58:03I'm only thinking about your future and your security.
00:58:06I mean, what happens if they throw you out once the baby arrives?
00:58:11I 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.
00:58:31Ten thousand dollars?
00:58:32That's it?
00:58:33That's pocket change for them!
00:58:35She must be holding out on this.
00:58:37That ungrateful little brat.
00:58:41I tried everything.
00:58:43I couldn't squeeze another penny out of her.
00:58:45She's swimming in Mancini money and we're here struggling.
00:58:49After what they did to my leg, I should be getting millions!
00:58:52Yes.
00:58:53A few million?
00:58:54It's just the beginning.
00:58:56We've been thinking too small.
00:58:58I 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, two 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.
00:59:46And afterwards, she spoke with one of the pianists about the compositions.
00:59:51Is it man or woman?
00:59:52Sir, per your instructions, they were all talented women.
00:59:55No exceptions.
00:59:56And she actually mentioned you today.
00:59:59While making hot chocolate, she said to the chef,
01:00:02it's never quite as good as Luca's.
01:00:05She always knows what to say.
01:00:08I'll make her a batch right now and we can have it delivered.
01:00:11Great.
01:00:12I'll arrange a private courier right away.
01:00:19Luca is almost finished with his business.
01:00:22Hopefully, he will make it home in time for the birth.
01:00:27Mrs. Mancini,
01:00:28it's terrible news.
01:00:29Luca's jet has been destroyed amid a flight heap.
01:00:31He'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.
01:00:43Luca has always been lucky.
01:00:44He's gonna be fine.
01:00:45He will.
01:00:51Hello?
01:00:52I have Luca Mancini.
01:00:5320 million dollars cash for his safe return.
01:00:56No police.
01:00:57No family.
01:00:58No security team.
01:01:00You come alone or he dies.
01:01:03You have 24 hours.
01:01:09Oh, Ava.
01:01:10Are you okay?
01:01:11Who was that?
01:01:12It's nothing.
01:01:13Nothing.
01:01:14I'm just dizzy.
01:01:16The baby.
01:01:17The baby.
01:01:18So, I'm gonna go upstairs and lie down.

01:13:17uh
01:13:19little one
01:13:23Marco, I thought you had all the answers, and that you handle everything, and I promise
01:13:34to protect mom, the business, and your family, our family.
01:13:46You know Marco used to say that if you wanted to think about somebody, you would watch the
01:13:53dandelion, and if the seeds blew out easily, then they were thinking of you too.
01:14:23Miss, Mrs. Mancini's wedding gifts, the finest villas, the Mancini family jewelry, and finally,
01:14:3230% ownership of Mancini group holdings, effective immediately.
01:14:38This ring has been in the Mancini family for seven generations.
01:14:50Passed from mother to daughter-in-law.
01:14:57A perfect fit.
01:15:04Now, I need the two of you to focus on your top priority.
01:15:22Um, top priority.
01:15:23Giving me a granddaughter to play with little Marco Jr.
01:15:29Mom, we're at a church, and there are witnesses.
01:15:35Whoo!
