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 swungled 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 again.
00:00:49I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:00:56Ava, you're so close, is this a dream?
00:01:02If anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:01:07Ava, I have fallen in love with you.
00:01:10I'm your brother's wife.
00:01:12We didn't do anything wrong, so why are you worried?
00:01:14If you knew I had feelings for your brother, would you hate me?
00:01:18I should never have let you go undercover on that damn business deal.
00:01:36I never even got to say goodbye.
00:01:38Marco, my brother, I will protect your legacy.
00:01:42And I will protect our family.
00:01:50Hey, hey!
00:01:51Who 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.
00:01:57Luca, look at her.
00:01:59She's hardly a threat.
00:02:00For the flowers, and for the interruption, my apologies.
00:02:16Signor Mancini?
00:02:17Master Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson, and she was carrying his child.
00:02:31Get the car.
00:02:32I'll never bring my daughter-in-law home where she belongs.
00:02:37Don't worry, little one.
00:02:38We'll get through this together.
00:02:39Somehow.
00:02:40Well, looky here.
00:02:41Family Jinx is finally six feet under.
00:02:44Derek!
00:02:45Have you lost her?
00:02:46No.
00:02:47No.
00:02:48No.
00:02:49No.
00:02:50No.
00:02:51No.
00:02:52No.
00:02:53No.
00:02:54No.
00:02:55No.
00:02:56No.
00:02:57No.
00:02:58No.
00:02:59No.
00:03:00No.
00:03:01No.
00:03:02No.
00:03:03No.
00:03:04No.
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.
00:03:14This 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.
00:03:25We'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.
00:03:34...because...
00:03:35You owe me. This is your fault.
00:03:40I dropped out of college for this family. I took five jobs. What more could you possibly want?
00:03:45It'll never be enough, Ava. You'll owe us till the day you die.
00:03:50Please, sweetheart, think of your brother.
00:03:56I'm gonna stomp out that little bastard right now, send him straight to hell, so he can say hello to his deadbeat dad.
00:04:07Hex!
00:04:26Isaac, what? What the hell is going on here? Who the hell are you people?
00:04:31Ava, right? You were here this morning. Enough, Luca. She's hardly up to that.
00:04:41Ma'am? I'm Helena Mancini, Markov's mother.
00:04:48That means I'm your baby's grandmother.
00:04:52The most powerful mafia family in the country.
00:04:55Markov was my oldest. He was my golden boy.
00:05:01I 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.
00:05:24Permanently.
00:05:26What are you doing?
00:05:28Derek, run!
00:05:30Maybe we should just go.
00:05:32One moment here.
00:05:34Anyone who raises a hand to my daughter-in-law deserves to have their fingers snapped.
00:05:41One by one.
00:05:47Come along, my dear.
00:05:49Let's get you home.
00:05:51To your real home.
00:05:53This is where Marco lives.
00:06:15Welcome home, Signora Ava Mancini.
00:06:18This is where Marco lived.
00:06:21And now, it's your hand.
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.
00:06:38We 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.
00:06:55Well, thank you, but I can't accept this.
00:07:00Thank you, but I can't accept this.
00:07:03I married Marco for love, not for his fortune.
00:07:07Practical and principled, my Marco truly had an eye for quality.
00:07:12Okay, there is one more member of the family that you need to properly meet.
00:07:18That would be Luca, Marco's younger brother.
00:07:21The brooding iceberg that you encountered this morning.
00:07:24Well, well, well.
00:07:26It's a flower girl in the cemetery.
00:07:29Luca, come meet Ava, your brother's wife.
00:07:33Please, show her proper...
00:07:35Respect!
00:07:40You walk back into a Mancini household?
00:07:44You're either incredibly stupid or incredibly brave.
00:07:48Luca!
00:07:50Open this door immediately!
00:07:54Everyone, around back, now!
00:07:56Who are you, really?
00:08:01I'll be watching your every move, your every breath.
00:08:07So tell me, who are you, really?
00:08:11My brother's dead, and you appear suddenly?
00:08:14Was this your endgame all along?
00:08:17Our fortune?
00:08:18I didn't know Marco's a Mancini.
00:08:20And now?
00:08:21I don't need this.
00:08:22I can walk right out those doors.
00:08:24You can't walk anywhere!
00:08:25She's not going anywhere!
00:08:30And get your hands off of her!
00:08:33She is carrying Marco's child.
00:08:35Oh, is she?
00:08:36How do we even know it is Marco's child?
00:08:38Convenient timing, wouldn't you say?
00:08:44Questioning on you, Marco, don't you dare question my child?
00:08:47That's my girl!
00:08:49Backbone of steel!
00:08:52Are you hurt?
00:08:54Luca!
00:08:55You are too rude!
00:08:56Ava is a good girl!
00:08:58You are falsely accusing her!
00:09:00Come on, sweetie.
00:09:01Mom's going to take you and get some clothes.
00:09:03Pay no attention to this fool.
00:09:09You may be fooling them,
00:09:10but I will find out about you,
00:09:12and I will expose you.
00:09:13These are all the latest European styles.
00:09:32Take your pick.
00:09:33I have plenty to wear.
00:09:35And these are much too expensive.
00:09:37Oh, not to worry.
00:09:39It's all on Luca's card.
00:09:41Treat my dear daughter-in-law well.
00:09:43I'm trying to be open and honest.
00:10:08This weight on my chest, I don't want it.
00:10:11I'd hate to be breaking, I promise.
00:10:16Cause I owe you the truth that I...
00:10:18Oh, isn't she gorgeous?
00:10:24She's... adequate.
00:10:27Always the tough guy act with you.
00:10:32Your eyes tell a different story, my son.
00:10:36Oh, yes.
00:10:37This is just perfect.
00:10:39We will take one of everything in her size.
00:10:44Mom...
00:10:44Mom...
00:10:46That's too generous.
00:10:48Nonsense.
00:10:50We're family now.
00:10:51I am putting Luca's contact info into your phone.
00:10:56Reach out to him.
00:10:58Whatever you need.
00:11:00And don't worry.
00:11:02He's actually quite a softie.
00:11:04Now, shall we continue shopping?
00:11:07Yes.
00:11:11Sir?
00:11:12Yes?
00:11:13Your mother has spent approximately 15 million dollars on Miss Jackson in the last week alone.
00:11:19God.
00:11:20In mere days, she has swooned the dollar family out of millions of dollars.
00:11:25She's clearly not an amateur.
00:11:27She's also been spending a substantial amount since marrying your brother to pay off her brother's debts.
00:11:33I want everything on her.
00:11:36Everything!
00:11:36If she is playing us for fools, then I will personally ensure that she regrets ever hearing the name Mancino.
00:11:43I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:11:53I 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.
00:12:03Limited edition is perfect for you.
00:12:10Marco?
00:12:11You just focus on getting better, okay?
00:12:14Don't worry about the bills.
00:12:16I've got it covered.
00:12:25Your brother married Miss Jackson under false pretenses.
00:12:28She worked several jobs to make that money.
00:12:31And when your brother got sick, she worked to pay off his medical bills.
00:12:35And then day and night for his funeral.
00:12:38Did I get her all wrong?
00:12:43Mother is unwell.
00:12:53You need to return home immediately.
00:12:57What's wrong with mom?
00:12:59Is she hurt?
00:13:04Mom?
00:13:06What's going on?
00:13:07Ava, please don't be angry.
00:13:15We just had to get you here.
00:13:22What are you doing?
00:13:23Since you won't help us financially, we had to find another solution.
00:13:27Victor Fang.
00:13:29That old loan shark's willing to give us $80,000 just to marry you.
00:13:32Are you insane?
00:13:40I'm pregnant.
00:13:42Your husband's dead, Ava.
00:13:43Why keep his baby?
00:13:45Think about your family.
00:13:46Mr. Fang is waiting.
00:13:48Don't make this harder than it needs to be.
00:13:50You are not selling me off to Victor Fang!
00:13:56If she dies, how will you provide for this child?
00:14:02She's calling someone!
00:14:11Hello?
00:14:17Ava's in danger.
00:14:18We need to move.
00:14:19Go, go, go!
00:14:20You think someone's coming to save you?
00:14:45Who dares manhandle my future bride?
00:14:49Mr. Fang.
00:14:50Oh, it's such a pleasure.
00:14:51This is Ava, my sister, who we discussed.
00:14:55Ooh, two for the price of one, I see.
00:14:58Oh, it's just some dead guy's kid.
00:15:00If you want, I can take care of it right now.
00:15:02We could offer you a discount.
00:15:03I think $60,000 is more than fair.
00:15:06Pennies for somebody of your wealth.
00:15:07Derek, you're sick!
00:15:09I'm your sister.
00:15:10This is your nephew.
00:15:11My son's future is more important to me than that stupid little bastard of yours.
00:15:16Hey, hey, no need to be so rough with such a beautiful lady.
00:15:20Now, dear, just take this right here and it'll make things easier for everybody.
00:15:27Oh, okay.
00:15:30You're a little feisty, I see.
00:15:34Maybe you just need a little personal attention.
00:15:37Get out of my way!
00:16:03See, I always knew Ava was trouble. Her husband's barely cold and she already has another one here.
00:16:09Who the hell do you think you are?
00:16:13I'm looking at Mancini.
00:16:15Mancini, you idiot. You killed me.
00:16:19How did my sister get caught up with the likes of you?
00:16:21Ava is my brother's widow, and her baby is his only child.
00:16:27So it's true? Her baby's the heir to the Mancini family?
00:16:30Really? Looks like your wife is pregnant too.
00:16:34Yes, yes, it's true. I swear. We didn't know. Please, please.
00:16:38You will be dealt with tenfold what you did to Ava.
00:16:46Get a doctor! Get a doctor! Get a car and deal with him.
00:17:00Mom!
00:17:16Get a car and deal with her!

00:17:49do it whatever it takes no doctor is there any way to do the surgery without anesthesia
00:17:58that's not medically advisable the pain would be too excruciating

00:23:31I am
00:23:32I am
00:23:33I am
00:23:34I am
00:23:34I am
00:23:35Sir, half an hour until closing, and Mrs. Mancini has already surpassed the store's average monthly sales in a single day.
00:23:55But she's still a great deal short of the manager's impossible target.
00:23:58She did make it clear that she doesn't want any special treatment, but I have been neglecting my own wardrobe.
00:24:08And the Rossi family event will require several new suits.
00:24:11Now that you mention it, sir, your formal collection is missing quite a few essential items.
00:24:16And I should do some special shopping, shouldn't I?
00:24:24Sir, may I assist you?
00:24:26Sir, this limited edition silk tie would go perfect with your complexion.
00:24:30Sir, I'd be happy to take your measurements, personally.
00:24:33Sir, as store manager, I would be honored to assist you with your needs myself.
00:24:40I'd actually like Miss Jackson to assist me. I hear her taste in men's fashion is exceptional.
00:24:50Shall we begin?
00:24:51Right this way, sir.
00:24:53I just need to take your measurements.
00:25:00Whoa, what are you doing?
00:25:03Your measurement bucket?
00:25:05I just needed you to take the jacket off.
00:25:09Well, we don't have much time.
00:25:12I don't have much time.
00:25:17Just trust me.
00:25:18I know.
00:25:24Now, imagine me like this.
00:25:31Okay.
00:25:32Ava, time is almost up.
00:25:56I did it. I saved my job. And I made a new sales record. Thank you.
00:26:08It's no reason to thank me. I'm here to help. Whenever you need it.
00:26:23I hate to do this, but Ava Jackson, you're fired.
00:26:32What?
00:26:34No.
00:26:35I met your target and then some.
00:26:38Oh.
00:26:40That last sale? The one that put you over the top? That was actually mine.
00:26:45You're trying to steal my commission? Well, that won't work because everyone in this store saw me make that sale.
00:26:51I get it. You threaten them into silence. Well, that won't work either. Because the security cameras caught everything.
00:27:04Security cameras?
00:27:14What horrible timing.
00:27:16Unfortunately, the security cameras are down for maintenance today.
00:27:19But fortunately, everyone here saw you destroy thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
00:27:26You all saw Ava, didn't you?
00:27:28Yeah, we all saw it.
00:27:31So someone should call security.
00:27:33Better yet, call the police.
00:27:43I'm sorry, sir, but we're closed for the day.
00:27:45I heard this store get trashed.
00:27:47I'm gonna have to ask you to leave or I'm gonna have to call the police.
00:27:50The police work for me.
00:27:52Are you?
00:27:54Luca Mancini?
00:27:55I'm sorry.
00:27:59Why?
00:28:00What a dog was just Неlaw to get trashed, you, just going to get the money back up with me,
00:28:02I'm sorry.
00:28:05We didn't get aстро for place and a responsibility.
00:28:07If you are incorrect, I tell what a dog has to go there for a location.
00:28:13I'm sorry.
00:28:14I'm sorry.
00:28:16You were afraid.
00:28:47Please stop. I admit it. I was wrong.
00:28:52Who really damaged the merchandise in this store?
00:28:54The items they destroyed are worth over several millions of dollars.
00:28:58That's five years in prison.
00:29:03Hugo, what happened?
00:29:05There's nothing we're talking about. We need to go.
00:29:06And by the way, you're fired.
00:29:09Let's go.
00:29:10A mom could just do it.
00:29:11How dare that woman mess with my family?
00:29:21I will make sure, personally, that she suffers for it.
00:29:25You don't have to worry about that anymore.
00:29:27It's all taken care of, thanks to Luca.
00:29:30This door looked like a tornado hit it.
00:29:32Mandy will be serving time in a jail cell.
00:29:35Justice is served.
00:29:36That's my boy.
00:29:41Sweetheart, I would like you to concentrate full-time on your pregnancy right now.
00:29:46All of this work drama can wait until after my grandchild is born safely.
00:29:51Yes, Mommy.
00:29:52I transferred $5 million into your personal account for prenatal care.
00:29:58I am worried about the baby's well-being.
00:30:01Luca, I'd like you to take her to the doctor tomorrow for an exam.
00:30:05No, that's really not necessary.
00:30:12I have those meetings in Europe, so possibly I could have some more substituting.
00:30:16Yeah, and I'm perfectly capable of going by myself.
00:30:20I don't want to travel, Luca, with something so routine.
00:30:26It's decided.
00:30:28Cancel whatever meetings you have.
00:30:30I want you to take her.
00:30:32I will not stand for any more incidents.
00:30:34Yes, Mother.
00:30:49Ava Jackson, we're ready for you now.
00:30:52Dad should come too.
00:30:54We encourage partner participation.
00:30:55Oh, no, he's not.
00:31:02Would you prefer that I explain that I'm your dead husband's brother?
00:31:05That might be a bit awkward.
00:31:07Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, please come in when you're ready.
00:31:09Coming.
00:31:10If you could lift your top up slightly and lower your skirt band just a bit, we'll get started.
00:31:30First prenatal checkup together, I'm guessing.
00:31:32The baby looks perfectly healthy.
00:31:41Current length is about three inches with a strong heart rate.
00:31:46Is the baby moving?
00:31:47Yes, indeed.
00:31:49Look there.
00:31:51The little one's making faces.
00:31:54Quite the expressive child already.
00:31:58The baby's at 18 weeks now, developing beautifully.
00:32:16For home care, I recommend plenty of rest, nutrient-rich foods, and tactile bonding when possible.
00:32:24Tactile bonding?
00:32:26Yes.
00:32:27It's quite beneficial for fetal development.
00:32:30Come over here and place your hands on her belly.
00:32:34Doctor, is that really appropriate?
00:32:37What's inappropriate about it?
00:32:39This is what husbands do.
00:32:44Okay.
00:32:44Okay.
00:32:54Sorry, did I hurt you?
00:32:59No, no.
00:33:00It just feels strange.
00:33:03Like this.
00:33:05Mm-hmm.
00:33:05Top to bottom, left to right.
00:33:08Gentle strokes.
00:33:13Got it?
00:33:14Got it.
00:33:16Do this once daily, five to ten minutes each.
00:33:21You can sit up now.
00:33:23Huh.
00:33:30So, everything good with the baby?
00:33:32Any special instructions I should know about?
00:33:36Nothing.
00:33:37Nothing, no.
00:33:38The doctor did say that the baby is developing beautifully, and there's nothing to worry about.
00:33:44Good news, then.
00:33:45Before I forget, the Rossi family's daughter is having her birthday celebration next weekend, and we should all attend.
00:33:56The Rossi family?
00:33:58Technically, they're our business rivals, but social niceties must be maintained.
00:34:04And she has had an embarrassing crush on Luca since they were little children.
00:34:10Mom, please.
00:34:11Miss Sofia Rossi has arrived unannounced.
00:34:16She shows up without calling?
00:34:18How gauche.
00:34:20Should we send Ava upstairs?
00:34:22No, no, it's fine.
00:34:22I'm here.
00:34:23We can just...
00:34:24Good evening, Mrs. Mancini.
00:34:29Luca!
00:34:30I came to personally deliver my birthday invitation.
00:34:32Luca, who is this woman?
00:34:39Luca, who is this woman?
00:34:41Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:34:41Rossi's family lack of manners never disappoints me.
00:34:45Luca Mancini, how dare you speak to me like that?
00:34:49Miss Rossi, right?
00:34:50I've heard so much about your family.
00:34:54I'm Ava, Marco's wife.
00:34:57Marco was Luca's brother.
00:34:58Oh, okay.
00:35:03I thought you were carrying Luca's baby.
00:35:06That's good, because I'm a nice man.
00:35:08I came all this way to bring you that, and this is how you welcome me?
00:35:12Don't disappoint me at the party, darling.
00:35:14Wear something sharp.
00:35:18Yes.
00:35:18See if there's any connection between that pregnant woman and Luca.
00:35:31I'm not buying this whole sister-in-law act for one second.
00:35:34You got it.
00:35:40You look so handsome.
00:35:41Well, well, well.
00:35:46It looks like my stubborn son has good taste after all.
00:35:50Luca did an excellent job selecting this gown.
00:35:53It is perfect for you.
00:35:55Luca picked this?
00:35:59I've never been anywhere this fancy before.
00:36:03I might embarrass you guys.
00:36:06Don't even worry about it.
00:36:08You are my pride and joy.
00:36:10Besides, Luca will be with us the whole time,
00:36:13and he'll make sure everything runs smoothly.
00:36:18Luca?
00:36:20What about her shoes?
00:36:21How could you forget something so basic?
00:36:23Thanks.
00:36:26Thanks.
00:36:38Okay.
00:36:39Okay.
00:36:39Right there.
00:36:51Right there.
00:36:56No problem.
00:36:58Just don't want you to fall.
00:37:09Who's that with Mr. Mancini?
00:37:16She's clearly pregnant.
00:37:18Do you think that's Mr. Mancini's baby?
00:37:20I had no idea he was even married.
00:37:22Must be his mistress.
00:37:24So shameless.
00:37:26Everyone, I would like to introduce Ava Mancini.
00:37:29My eldest son Marco's wife.
00:37:31Marco's wife?
00:37:33She's stunning.
00:37:34This is my birthday party.
00:37:39I'm supposed to be the center of attention, not some pregnant woman.
00:37:44Well, maybe we shouldn't cause a scene here.
00:37:47It's fine.
00:37:49She's almost like this.
00:37:51We didn't mean to steal your spotlight.
00:37:54An apology simply isn't enough.
00:37:57Since you're Lucas' sister-in-law,
00:37:59why don't you entertain us all with a performance of some kind?
00:38:03Look, she used to deliver food for a living.
00:38:06Waitress, retail clerk, cleaning lady?
00:38:09What could someone with her background possibly perform for this crowd?
00:38:23Ava, how does this piece go again?
00:38:26I'm completely lost here.
00:38:27I've forgotten everything that you've told me.
00:38:30There's no way she could actually play.
00:38:33She's just a nobody from nowhere.
00:38:35He has to be setting her own.
00:38:37Even Miss Mancini is smiling.
00:38:39Just waiting for her to crash and burn.
00:39:00I was just playing for the baby.
00:39:03I think he recognized the music you were playing for us earlier.
00:39:08Well, maybe you should teach me sometime.
00:39:11Properly.
00:39:12I'd like to play for you both.
00:39:13Um, because Mom did tell me to look after you, so it's the least that I can do.
00:39:23Okay.
00:39:24Oh, well, there.
00:39:25There.
00:39:30Oh, well.
00:39:34What's so sad?
00:39:35Oh, well, I want to go here.
00:39:36And there.
00:40:07They're definitely more than in-laws.
00:40:12Look at the way they play together.
00:40:14If I can't have him, I'll destroy them now.
00:40:23Yeah, I always enjoy these type of events.
00:40:25Me too.
00:40:26That habit's good enough.
00:40:28From Miss Russell.
00:40:29Your accompaniments.
00:40:31Cheers.
00:40:35Sir.
00:40:36That drink is almost certainly drugged.
00:40:38Obviously.
00:40:39Is the Rossi family making a move against us?
00:40:42These tensions have been simmering for years.
00:40:44Should we respond preemptively?
00:40:50Do nothing.
00:40:51You just need to focus on protecting Ava.
00:40:55We'll see what they have planned.
00:40:56Darling, you look tired.
00:41:05I don't think all this excitement is good for your condition.
00:41:08Why don't you try to find Luca and let's get you home.
00:41:13Sophia's bedroom.
00:41:37Why is Luca's phone in there?
00:41:39And why am I jealous?
00:41:41I've wanted Luca for years.
00:42:00And then you waltz in and get his attention in weeks?
00:42:03You won't look so innocent when everyone sees you in bed next to your dead husband's brother.
00:42:12Miss, is it exactly how you wanted it?
00:42:15Not at all.
00:42:16This isn't convincing.
00:42:17Unbutton their clothes.
00:42:25Sal, position them closer together.
00:42:27Make it look more intimate.
00:42:28Perfect.
00:42:35Let's go.
00:42:36Our masterpiece is complete.
00:42:38Now we just have to bring in an audience.
00:42:49I expected much more than just this juvenile prank from my business partner.
00:42:53Ava, wake up.
00:43:08Ava.
00:43:09Ava.
00:43:10Ava.
00:43:18Luca.
00:43:21Oh, my God.
00:43:23What happened to us?
00:43:30This is bad.
00:43:42If anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:43:49Luca, wake up.
00:43:50Wake up.
00:43:53Okay.
00:43:57Oh!
00:44:00Jesus.
00:44:01People are coming.
00:44:03You're acting like we had some tour d'affaires.
00:44:05We didn't do anything wrong.
00:44:07So why are you worrying?
00:44:08I'm your late brother's widow and I'm carrying his child.
00:44:11If anyone sees us like this, the Mancini family name won't be destroyed.
00:44:15Okay.
00:44:17Okay.
00:44:18Oh, so Mancini name is what you're concerned about, is that it?
00:44:23Hey, hey, hey, you haven't answered me.
00:44:29Thank you all so much for coming today to celebrate me.
00:44:33But I do have some rather important information to share with you all.
00:44:38I have just discovered Luca Mancini in a rather compromising position with his brother's pregnant widow.
00:44:48In my bedroom.
00:44:57Can you let go?
00:45:01They're coming.
00:45:03Come here.
00:45:03Here, I got this. Watch out.
00:45:08Wait, stop. Watch. They're right there.
00:45:11If we walk through that door, we'll walk right into their trap.
00:45:13Okay, then what's your brilliant idea?
00:45:15Yes, ma'am.
00:45:16Um, we...
00:45:17Let's go through the window. We can climb down.
00:45:20Whoa, whoa, whoa. No. I'm afraid of heights.
00:45:23You're what?
00:45:24I'm sorry. I just didn't realize the great Luca Mancini have fears like the rest of us.
00:45:31Yeah, you know, that's one of my fears, and I don't advertise it, so deal with it.
00:45:37What? What else do you...
00:45:40Lucy, where are these cheaters you promised to expose?
00:45:43Shh, keep it down, you idiot. You don't want to wake them.
00:45:46I mean, we don't want to alert them to give them the chance to escape.
00:45:51Let's go. Let's go.
00:45:52Shh, hurry, hurry.
00:46:00No, no, no, no, don't run. We have to catch them in the act first.
00:46:03Are you insane? Your house is on fire.
00:46:05Who cares about the gossip? Let them get out of here.
00:46:08No, no, no, no, no. I'll help everyone leave afterwards, but first let's get a look at them.
00:46:11Come on.
00:46:12Oh, hi.
00:46:34What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:46:37I am so sorry. It was an accident. Please.
00:46:41Okay?
00:46:42Yeah.
00:46:44The staff prepared everything for you, and there's hot water in there.
00:46:52And what about you?
00:46:54We'll just be out here, taking guard for you.
00:46:56Now go on. It's warm.
00:47:01Thanks.
00:47:01Damn it.
00:47:22What is it?
00:47:35Uh, Miss Rossi is demanding to see you, sir.
00:47:38She's quite insistent.
00:47:40Okay, let her in.
00:47:44You set off the fire alarms and completely scared away my guests.
00:47:48You ruined my birthday celebration.
00:47:52Hey, you will take full responsibility for what you did.
00:48:05The drugging, the setup, all of it.
00:48:07And if you ever threaten Ava again, directly or indirectly,
00:48:12I will end the Rossi family from this city permanently.
00:48:16You're a monster.
00:48:17That's her in there, isn't it?
00:48:19Ava?
00:48:20Your dead brother's wife?
00:48:21How dare you?
00:48:23Get your hands off of me!
00:48:26Do you know who I am?
00:48:33Oh.
00:48:33Luca?
00:48:43Luca?
00:48:53Luca!
00:48:54It's me, Michael.
00:48:56Ava, you're so close.
00:48:57Luca, I'm your brother's wife.
00:49:09So, so this isn't a dream.
00:49:10I, um...
00:49:11Ava, I've had feelings for you for so long.
00:49:17And I've tried to keep them a secret, but I, I, I can't keep them to me longer.
00:49:21And now you know my two secrets, and by family code, I have to silence the person who discovers my weaknesses.
00:49:33Luca, let me go.
00:49:34No, no, no, but I can't silence you because, Ava, I have fallen in love with you.
00:49:40Oh God, that's not funny.
00:49:42Look, I've never been more serious.
00:49:48Look, Ava, every time I come around you, I, I feel myself slipping.
00:49:54And my feelings have crossed that line months ago.
00:49:59Stop, stop, just stop.
00:50:01Oh, I'll forget this ever happened.
00:50:04No, Ava.
00:50:04Ava, I want to take care of you, and the baby, for the rest of my life.
00:50:19Luca, I...
00:50:22Ava.
00:50:26Luca, what's going on?
00:50:28Why isn't Ava home?
00:50:31What's going on here?
00:50:32Mom, I...
00:50:34Nothing.
00:50:34My clothes were dirty, so Luca prepared for me a shower and clean clothes.
00:50:40Oh, thank goodness.
00:50:43The last thing we need is for you to catch pneumonia.
00:50:46Yeah, I know.
00:50:47Ava, I think that we should probably...
00:50:50Luca, it's almost Marco's birthday.
00:50:55Let's visit his grave.
00:50:58He's your brother and my husband.
00:51:00And we don't want to betray his memory.
00:51:04Oh, you poor thing.
00:51:06You must be utterly exhausted.
00:51:08Let's get you home.
00:51:10These Rossis are nothing but trouble.
00:51:13We need to accelerate our plans against them.
00:51:15marco.
00:51:15He's my father.
00:51:16He's my brother.
00:51:17He's me.
00:51:17He's me.
00:51:18He's my brother.
00:51:18He's my mother.
00:51:19He's my mother.
00:51:19You're fucking so lazy.
00:51:20Yeah.
00:51:22Let's get you.
00:51:23I love you.
00:51:24Marco, I miss you.
00:51:33I feel so lost without you.
00:51:39Would you hate me if you knew I had feelings for your brother?
00:51:48Ava, are you in there?
00:51:54I meant everything that I said today.
00:52:00And I want to help you get through this, and I want to protect you.
00:52:05Marco and Mom, they would both understand.
00:52:10Ava, I love you.
00:52:24I understand how difficult this is.
00:52:32Your loyalty for Marco, and your concern for my mother, that is the compassion that, that's the reason I fell in love with you.
00:52:41There's 30 million dollars on this credit card, and the pin number is your birthday.
00:52:49Here's your birthday.
00:52:50I've been through webs and flows.
00:52:52Our last goodbye felt like the end.
00:52:55Can't deny, I can't pretend.
00:52:58That this fire burns again.
00:53:02Illuminated rain.
00:53:05I feel alive.
00:53:07One more time, our worlds collide.
00:53:10Watch them circling in the sky.
00:53:13We are magnetic sides.
00:53:16Wait for me.
00:53:19No one loves me like you do.
00:53:22Thought that you and I were through.
00:53:31The baby's development is right on track.
00:53:34Perfect.
00:53:35Is right on track.
00:53:37Perfect, actually.
00:53:39How's your husband been doing those tactile bonding exercises I showed you?
00:53:51Doctor.
00:53:52Uh, actually.
00:53:53Doctor.
00:53:54Uh, actually, he's not exactly my...
00:53:58No need to be embarrassed.
00:53:59He's not exactly my...
00:54:00No need to be embarrassed.
00:54:02The way that man looks at you is something special.
00:54:06Now face each other.
00:54:12Helena, take her hands.
00:54:15Deep inhale.
00:54:17And lean into each other.
00:54:19Using each other's weight to support you.
00:54:23Come up.
00:54:29On the exhale, do a gentle squat.
00:54:33And then share and embrace.
00:54:36And then share and embrace.
00:54:42You have anything?
00:54:49Who exactly are you welcoming home, dear daughter-in-law?
00:54:53I was just talking nonsense.
00:54:56Yes.
00:55:06Okay.
00:55:12Miss, flowers from Mr. Mancini.
00:55:26I wonder if he's doing well out there.
00:55:47I wonder if he's doing well out there.
00:55:50You have a nervous look on your face when you're starting to think that you're talking too much.
00:55:56I like how we just met and I'm not even slightly afraid to be opening up.
00:56:05Hello?
00:56:06Ava?
00:56:07I'm outside at the gate.
00:56:09Security won't let me in.
00:56:11Mom, what are you doing here?
00:56:17I missed you terribly, sweetheart.
00:56:19I just wanted to check on you and the baby.
00:56:26Look.
00:56:27Fresh oranges.
00:56:28Just pick today.
00:56:30You need the vitamin C for the baby's development.
00:56:33I'm on a very carefully monitored diet.
00:56:36You wasted a trip.
00:56:37Look.
00:56:42I know that you haven't forgiven me.
00:56:44But you have to understand.
00:56:46Derek and Sarah, I mean, they would have thrown me out on the street if I didn't go along with them.
00:56:53I mean, what choice did I have?
00:56:56That's not rehash the past.
00:56:58Of course.
00:57:00I picked these up for my grandchild.
00:57:03Aren't they precious?
00:57:04That baby that you're carrying is my family too.
00:57:10I love them so much already.
00:57:13Look, I stood up for you to Derek.
00:57:16And he threw me out.
00:57:18I had absolutely nothing left.
00:57:19This card contains all the money I've saved.
00:57:32It's yours.
00:57:34But you have to promise me that you'll use it for yourself.
00:57:37Not a penny goes to Derek.
00:57:39Okay.
00:57:40I swear it.
00:57:41Not a cent to him.
00:57:43How much money are we talking about?
00:57:44Ten thousand dollars.
00:57:46Ten thousand?
00:57:49That's it.
00:57:51You're carrying the Mancini heir and all they've given you is ten thousand dollars.
00:57:56That is my personal savings.
00:57:59I haven't asked the Mancinis for a cent.
00:58:01Okay, this is completely unacceptable.
00:58:03Everyone in this city knows that the Mancinis are loaded beyond belief.
00:58:10Come on.
00:58:11You need to milk this situation for all it's worth.
00:58:19Honey, I'm...
00:58:20I'm...
00:58:23I'm only thinking about your future.
00:58:25And your security.
00:58:26I mean...
00:58:28What happens if they throw you out once the baby arrives?
00:58:31I didn't marry into the Mancini family for their fortune.
00:58:35And you mention their money one more time, you'll never see me again.
00:58:40Understood?
00:58:41I understand, sweetheart.
00:58:43Mom won't say another word about it.
00:58:44Psst.
00:58:50Ten thousand dollars?
00:58:51That's it?
00:58:53That's pocket change for them!
00:58:55She must be holding down on this.
00:58:58That ungrateful little brat.
00:59:01I tried everything.
00:59:03I couldn't squeeze another penny out of her.
00:59:05She's swimming in Mancini money and we're here struggling.
00:59:09After what they did to my leg, I should be getting millions!
00:59:11Yes!
00:59:12A few million?
00:59:14It's just the beginning.
00:59:16We've been thinking too small.
00:59:29I have good reason to believe that we have a common enemy.
00:59:32I think we should work together.
00:59:34Miss Mancini has been sleeping well, sir.
00:59:37She got the prenatal vitamins you sent her and they effectively reduced her morning sickness.
00:59:43And this morning, she ate half a slice of french toast, a half portion of scrambled eggs, two cherry tomatoes and a glass of milk.
00:59:54And after some gentle persuasion from your mother, she also had a piece of steak for the iron content.
00:59:59Well, it's good to hear that she's eating healthy.
01:00:03And then she finally attended the prenatal concert we arranged.
01:00:07And afterwards, she spoke with one of the pianists about the compositions.
01:00:11Is it man or woman?
01:00:13Sir, per your instructions, they were all talented women. No exceptions.
01:00:15And she actually mentioned you today. While making hot chocolate, she said to the chef, it's never quite as good as Luca's.
01:00:24She always knows what to say.
01:00:27I'll make her a batch right now and we can have it delivered.
01:00:31Great. I'll arrange your private courier right away.
01:00:35Luca is almost finished with his business. Hopefully, he will make it home in time for the birth.
01:00:44Mrs. Mancini, terrible news. Luca's jet has been destroyed in mid-flight heat. He's missing.
01:00:52What?
01:00:54I want every detail immediately.
01:00:55Yes, ma'am.
01:00:58Eva, breathe. Breathe. Don't panic. Don't panic. Luca has always been lucky. He's gonna be fine. He will.
01:01:05Hello?
01:01:06I have Luca Mancini. 20 million dollars cash for his safe return. No police, no family, no security team. You come alone or he dies. You have 24 hours.
01:01:27Who?
01:01:29Oh, Eva, are you okay? Who was that?
01:01:32It's nothing, nothing. I'm just dizzy. The baby. So, I'm gonna go upstairs and lie down.
01:01:57Luca.
01:01:59Money first.
01:02:02No.
01:02:03I'm gonna be stuck.
01:02:04I'm gonna go upstairs.
01:02:10I'm gonna go upstairs.
01:02:11Go upstairs.
01:02:14Ow.
01:02:17Are you okay?
01:02:19Derek.
01:02:21Where's Luca?
01:02:24Where's Luca?
01:02:25Don't worry though Luca.
01:02:26Don't worry about yourself.
01:02:27Yeah.
01:02:28I'm gonna go upstairs.
01:02:30Yeah, with her as our bargaining chip, we can demand a hundred million dollars from the
01:02:49man keeps.
01:02:51Easy.
01:02:52Mom.
01:02:53Mom, why are you doing this?
01:02:55Poor family.
01:02:56Why have you always treated me so terribly?
01:02:59Family, you are so pathetic, you just don't get it, do you?
01:03:10You're just some brat that mom found on the street that she brought home to be our live-in
01:03:14servant.
01:03:15What are you talking about?
01:03:16You're an orphan!
01:03:20Not even your birth mother wanted you.
01:03:22Yeah, we brought you in.
01:03:24We fed you.
01:03:25We clothed you.
01:03:27And in return, your life belongs to us.
01:03:31Oh, and by the way, since we're being honest with each other right now, my whole leg injury,
01:03:38it's kind of my fault.
01:03:40But it was a great excuse to get you to basically give up your life and be our slave in all these
01:03:51years.
01:03:52You know what?
01:03:53even though you're nothing but a bunch of orphan trash, you're actually very beautiful.
01:04:02So since we're giving up this whole brother-sister role-play thing, I don't want to do something
01:04:10that I've wanted to do for a very, very long time.
01:04:17Stop!
01:04:18You're sick!
01:04:19Shh!
01:04:20Shh!
01:04:21Shh!
01:04:22Now let's just keep that pretty little mouth of yours quiet, shall we?
01:04:27You fucking bitch!
01:04:35Ah!
01:04:36Ah!
01:04:37Ah!
01:04:38Ah!
01:04:39Ah!
01:04:40Ah!
01:04:41Stop!
01:04:46Stop!
01:04:47Stop!
01:04:48Stop!
01:04:49Ah!
01:04:50My plane blew up!
01:04:51Ava gets kidnapped.
01:04:52Oh God, you're alive. You're okay.
01:05:03Stop! Stop! Stop!
01:05:07My plane blew up. Ava gets kidnapped.
01:05:09This isn't a coincidence. Who are you looking for?
01:05:12Answer me!
01:05:17Hey, make them stop.
01:05:19He's your brother.
01:05:21Don't kill him!
01:05:22You just told me I'm an orphan, so he's not doing my little brother.
01:05:26You better tell me who your accomplices are, or he stops breathing.
01:05:30You two should be ashamed of yourselves.
01:05:33Can I see the way that you look at each other?
01:05:35He's your dead husband's brother.
01:05:38You're a betrayer, Marco, and his mother.
01:05:43Are you alright? Hey, hey, hey, you okay?
01:05:45Yeah, yeah.
01:05:46Your mother-in-law took you in. She treated you like a daughter. She gave you everything that you could ever want, and this is how you repay her? By falling for her younger son?
01:06:03Have you already forgotten, Marco? It is his grave? What is wrong with you?
01:06:13I want her as my daughter-in-law.
01:06:16First my eldest son's wife, and now my youngest.
01:06:22Objective, then, and you'll lose your tongue.
01:06:25You couldn't have Luca, so you decided to try and kill him?
01:06:42Good thing he changed his flight plan at the last minute, hmm?
01:06:47Cross the Mancini's, and you cease to exist.
01:06:50Release me! My father will burn your empire to the ground.
01:06:58Don't you wonder why my son was gone all that time?
01:07:04Your family's power...
01:07:08...already gone.
01:07:20You two have risked everything to be together.
01:07:26I can see that Luca's devotion is absolute.
01:07:32You have endured far too much pain.
01:07:37It's time to let him take care of you.
01:07:39But...
01:07:40Marco...
01:07:41I made a promise to him.
01:07:43And Marco would want your happiness above all else.
01:07:51He will rest easier, huh?
01:07:54Knowing that we are protecting you and your child.
01:08:01From this moment forward, I swear to you, nobody will ever hurt you.
01:08:10Luca, you're bleeding.
01:08:12You gotta keep this clean.
01:08:17Yeah.
01:08:19Infections can get nasty.
01:08:22Okay.
01:08:24So you're saying that you care about me, then?
01:08:27Shut up.
01:08:28Of course I care.
01:08:34All right.
01:08:35Wait.
01:08:36Okay.
01:08:36I think he likes you.
01:09:04Yeah?
01:09:04Ava, I will take care of you.
01:09:12And the baby.
01:09:14Just let my brother would have.
01:09:16I brought some fruit for you and the...
01:09:17Luca!
01:09:22She's pregnant.
01:09:23Be gentle with her.
01:09:24I think maybe you should get some less.
01:09:31Okay.
01:09:35Oh, wait.
01:09:38What is it?
01:09:39I think I'm in labor.
01:09:40What is taking so long?
01:09:52Is something wrong?
01:09:53She's gone into labor early.
01:09:55Have you two been intimate recently?
01:09:57Well, we didn't exactly.
01:10:00I mean, not completely.
01:10:03I warned you to be careful with her.
01:10:05What can we do now?
01:10:07The medication isn't working as we'd hoped.
01:10:10There's another approach we could try.
01:10:13Yes, yes, we'll do anything.
01:10:14There's no object.
01:10:15Just help her.
01:10:16Some intimate touches can help her relax and feel better.
01:10:24Right here.
01:10:27Right here.
01:10:28Yes.
01:10:32Mom, I can't.
01:10:34Just whip it out.
01:10:36Don't do it.
01:10:38Hurry it up.
01:10:38Don't do it.
01:11:09I hope things are going smoothly in there.
01:11:11They've never been together before.
01:11:14Never been together?
01:11:16Then how could she be?
01:11:18The child is my late son's.
01:11:22Luca's brother.
01:11:25You okay?
01:11:28Doctor, please.
01:11:29Doctor, please.
01:11:30One, two, three, push.
01:11:39One, two, three, push.
01:11:41One, two, three, push.
01:11:44Push, push, push.
01:11:45Push.
01:11:45It's your baby.
01:11:52Please.
01:12:00Hey.
01:12:03Hi.
01:12:03How are you feeling?
01:12:05Good.
01:12:06You want something to eat?
01:12:08Okay.
01:12:08Okay.
01:12:09I thought this hospital was the best that money can buy.
01:12:16I guess I was misinformed.
01:12:19Luca.
01:12:21They're doing the best they can.
01:12:22Let's not terrorize the staff.
01:12:26Look.
01:12:27Okay.
01:12:28I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:31You would tear me apart.
01:12:32I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:13:02Marco.
01:13:05Marco.
01:13:06I want to name him Marco.
01:13:30Look, little one.
01:13:32It's your daddy.
01:13:35Your real daddy.
01:13:41It's remarkable how much he looks like you.
01:13:44Marco.
01:13:46I thought you had all the answers.
01:13:49And that you'd handle everything.
01:13:52And I promise to protect mom.
01:13:55The business.
01:13:56And your family.
01:14:01Our family.
01:14:05You know, Marco used to say that if you wanted to think about somebody, you would watch the dandelion.
01:14:13And if the seeds blew out easily, then they were thinking of you too.
01:14:16I hear you on the radio.
01:14:23On the radio.
01:14:25On the radio.
01:14:25Miss.
01:14:25Mrs. Mancini's wedding gifts.
01:14:46The finest villas.
01:14:47The Mancini family jewelry.
01:14:50And finally, 30% ownership of Mancini group holdings.
01:14:56Effective immediately.
01:14:57This ring has been in the Mancini family for seven generations.
01:15:09Passed from mother to daughter-in-law.
01:15:15Thank you, Mama.
01:15:17A perfect fit.
01:15:36Now, I need the two of you to focus on your top priority.
01:15:42Um, top priority?
01:15:44Giving me a granddaughter.
01:15:45To play with little Marco Jr.
01:15:50Mom, we're at a church.
01:15:53And there are witnesses.
