00:00:10I should never have let you go undercover on that damn business deal.
00:00:15I've never even got to say goodbye.
00:00:17Marco, my brother, I will protect your legacy and I will protect our family.
00:00:29Hey, hey, Roy!
00:00:32Which family do you work for?
00:00:33I just came to drop off the flowers.
00:00:35I didn't mean to retreat.
00:00:37Marco, look at her.
00:00:39She's hardly a threat.
00:00:46For the flowers and for the interruption, my apologies.
00:01:02Signor Mancini, Mr. Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson and she was carrying his child.
00:01:09Get the car.
00:01:11I will bring my daughter-in-law home where she belongs.
00:01:22Don't worry, little one.
00:01:24We'll get through this together.
00:01:27Somehow.
00:01:30Well, looky here.
00:01:33Family Jinx is finally six feet under.
00:01:44Derek, have you lost your mind?
00:01:46What the hell was that?
00:01:48Don't tell me that you're actually planning on keeping that little parasite.
00:01:51This is Marco's baby.
00:01:55This is our child.
00:01:56Of course, I'm keeping it.
00:01:58Ever since you got knocked up, you've done nothing to help this family.
00:02:03We've been struggling while you've been out here playing the grieving widow.
00:02:07Give me one good reason why I should get rid of this baby.
00:02:13Because you owe me.
00:02:16This is your fault.
00:02:19I dropped out of college for this family.
00:02:21I took five jobs.
00:02:23What more could you possibly want?
00:02:24It'll never be enough, Ava.
00:02:25You'll owe us till the day you die.
00:02:29Please.
00:02:31Sweetheart.
00:02:32Think of your brother.
00:02:36I'm going to stomp out that little bastard right now.
00:02:40Send him straight to hell.
00:02:41So he can say hello to his deadbeat dad.
00:02:46Hey!
00:03:05What the hell is going on here?
00:03:07Who the hell are you people?
00:03:10Ava, right?
00:03:11You were here this morning.
00:03:14Enough, Luca.
00:03:15She's hardly up to that.
00:03:19Ma'am?
00:03:21I'm Helena Mancini.
00:03:23Marco's mother.
00:03:27That means I'm your baby's grandmother.
00:03:31The most powerful Mafia family in the country.
00:03:36Marco was my oldest.
00:03:37He was my golden boy.
00:03:40I am so sorry that he concealed his identity from you.
00:03:44You have endured far too much suffering because of it.
00:03:51Plain make-believe Mancini.
00:03:54Seriously, like, is anybody here actually buying this?
00:03:57Question my identity again.
00:03:59And my men.
00:04:00We'll make sure your other leg looks like your first one.
00:04:04Permanently.
00:04:06What are you doing?
00:04:07Derek, run!
00:04:09Maybe we should just go.
00:04:12One moment here.
00:04:14Anyone who raises a hand to my daughter-in-law
00:04:17deserves to have their fingers snapped.
00:04:21One by one.
00:04:26Come along, my dear.
00:04:28Let's get you home.
00:04:30Let's get you home.
00:04:30To your real home.
00:04:53Welcome home, signora Eva Mancini.
00:04:56This is where Marco lives.
00:05:00And now, it's your hand.
00:05:09Allow me to introduce you to your personal staff, Mrs. Mancini.
00:05:13Your nutritionist, nanny, maternity nurse.
00:05:15Each the finest specialist money can acquire.
00:05:17We pledge your absolute dedication to your health and well-being, signora.
00:05:24Your days of walking multiple jobs are over, my dear.
00:05:27Here, $10 million is a little spending money.
00:05:31Well, thank you, but I can't accept this.
00:05:35I married Marco for love, not for his fortune.
00:05:41Practical and principled, my Marco truly had an eye for quality.
00:05:46There is one more member of the family that you need to properly meet.
00:05:51That would be Luca, Marco's younger brother.
00:05:54The brooding iceberg that you encountered this morning.
00:05:57Well, well, well.
00:05:59Is it a flower girl from the cemetery?
00:06:03Luca, come meet Eva, your brother's wife.
00:06:06Please, show her proper respect.
00:06:13You walk back into a Mancini household?
00:06:17You're either incredibly stupid or incredibly brave.
00:06:22Luca, open this door immediately.
00:06:27Everyone around back, now.
00:06:31Who are you, really?
00:06:35I'll be watching your every move, your every breath.
00:06:40So tell me, who are you, really?
00:06:44My brother's dead, and you appear suddenly?
00:06:47Was this your endgame all along?
00:06:50Our fortune?
00:06:51I didn't know Marco's a Mancini.
00:06:54And now?
00:06:54I don't need this.
00:06:55I can walk right out those doors.
00:06:57You can't walk anywhere.
00:06:58She's not going anywhere.
00:07:03And get your hands off of her.
00:07:06She is carrying Marco's child.
00:07:08Oh, is she?
00:07:10How do we even know it is Marco's child?
00:07:12Convenient timing, wouldn't you say?
00:07:17Question me on you, Marco.
00:07:18Don't you dare question my child?
00:07:21That's my girl.
00:07:22Backbone of steel.
00:07:25Are you hurt?
00:07:27Luca, you are too rude.
00:07:30Ava is a good girl.
00:07:31You are falsely accusing her.
00:07:33Come on, sweetie.
00:07:34Mom's going to take you and get some clothes.
00:07:36Pay no attention to this fool.
00:07:42You may be fooling them, but I will find out about you, and I will expose you.
00:08:02These are all the latest European styles.
00:08:05Take your pick.
00:08:06I have plenty to wear.
00:08:08And these are much too expensive.
00:08:10Oh, not to worry.
00:08:12It's all on Luca's card.
00:08:14Treat my dear daughter-in-law well.
00:08:37Try to be open and honest.
00:08:41This weight on my chest.
00:08:43I don't want it.
00:08:45I'd hate to be breaking, I promise.
00:08:48Cause I owe you the truth that I hear.
00:08:52Oh, isn't she gorgeous?
00:08:59She's adequate.
00:09:03Always the tough guy act with you.
00:09:05Your eyes tell a different story, my son.
00:09:08Oh, yes.
00:09:10This is just perfect.
00:09:12We will take one of everything in her size.
00:09:17Mom.
00:09:18Mom.
00:09:20That's too generous.
00:09:22Nonsense.
00:09:23We're family now.
00:09:26I am putting Luca's contact info into your phone.
00:09:30Reach out to him.
00:09:31Whatever you need.
00:09:33And don't worry.
00:09:34He's actually quite a softie.
00:09:38Now, shall we continue shopping?
00:09:40Yes.
00:09:44Sir.
00:09:45Yes.
00:09:46Your mother has spent approximately $15 million on Miss Jackson in the last week alone.
00:09:52God.
00:09:53In mere days, she has swooned the daughter family out of millions of dollars.
00:09:58She's clearly not an amateur.
00:10:00She's also been spending a substantial amount since marrying your brother to pay off her brother's debts.
00:10:06I want everything on her.
00:10:09Everything!
00:10:09If she is playing us for fools, then I will personally ensure that she regrets ever hearing the name Mancino.
00:10:24I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:10:26I hate to put extra stress on your shoulders, but we need to discuss the incredible cost of your husband's
00:10:33care and how the bill will be paid.
00:10:36Limited edition is perfect for you.
00:10:39Limited edition is perfect for you.
00:10:43Marco, you just focus on getting better, okay?
00:10:47Don't worry about the bills.
00:10:49I've got it covered.
00:10:58Your brother married Miss Jackson under false pretenses.
00:11:01She worked several jobs to make that money.
00:11:04And when your brother got sick, she worked to pay off his medical bills.
00:11:08And then day and night for his funeral.
00:11:11Did I get her all wrong?
00:11:24Hello?
00:11:25Mother is unwell.
00:11:26You need to return home immediately.
00:11:31What's wrong with mom?
00:11:33Is she hurt?
00:11:37Mom?
00:11:39What's going on?
00:11:46Eva, please don't be angry.
00:11:48We just had to get you here.
00:11:55What are you doing?
00:11:56Since you won't help us financially, we had to find another solution.
00:12:00Victor Fang.
00:12:02That old loan shark's willing to give us $80,000 just to marry you.
00:12:11Are you insane?
00:12:13I'm pregnant.
00:12:15Your husband's dead, Eva.
00:12:16Why keep his baby?
00:12:18Think about your family.
00:12:19Mr. Fang is waiting.
00:12:21Don't make this harder than it needs to be.
00:12:24You are not selling me off to Victor Fang!
00:12:30If she dies, how will you provide for this child?
00:12:36She's calling someone!
00:12:45Hello?
00:12:45Help!
00:12:51Eva's in danger.
00:12:52We need to move.
00:12:52Go, go, go!
00:13:12You think someone's coming to save you?
00:13:19Who dares manhandle my future bride?
00:13:22Mr. Fang.
00:13:23Oh, it's such a pleasure.
00:13:25This is Eva, my sister, who we discussed.
00:13:28Ooh, two for the price of one, I see.
00:13:31Oh, it's just some dead guy's kid.
00:13:33If you want, I can take care of it right now.
00:13:35We could offer you a discount, I think $60,000 is more than fair.
00:13:39Pennies for somebody of your wealth.
00:13:41Derek, you're sick!
00:13:42I'm your sister, this is your nephew.
00:13:44My son's future is more important to me than that stupid little bastard of yours.
00:13:49Hey, hey, no need to be so rough with such a beautiful lady.
00:13:55Now, dear, just take this right here, and it'll make things easier for everybody.
00:14:01Oh, okay, you're a little feisty, I see.
00:14:07Maybe you just need a little personal attention.
00:14:35Get out of my way!
00:14:36I always knew Eva was trouble.
00:14:37Her husband's barely cold, and she already has another man.
00:14:42Who the hell do you think you are?
00:14:47I'm Luca Mancini.
00:14:48Mancini, you idiot.
00:14:51You killed me.
00:14:52How did my sister get caught up with the likes of you?
00:14:54Eva is my brother's widow, and her baby is his only child.
00:15:00So it's true?
00:15:01Her baby's the heir to the Mancini family?
00:15:04Looks like your wife is pregnant, too.
00:15:07Yes, yes, yes, it's true.
00:15:09I swear, we didn't know.
00:15:10Please, please.
00:15:11You will be dealt with,
00:15:14and for what you did to Eva.
00:15:19Get a doctor!
00:15:20Get a doctor!
00:15:21Get a car, and deal with them.
00:15:51Get a car, and deal with them.
00:15:59Mom!
00:15:59Hey.
00:16:01How's Eva?
00:16:03How's the baby?
00:16:04The doctors are examining her now.
00:16:10Doctor, how is she?
00:16:11Miss Mancini has a severe ankle fracture
00:16:14that it needs immediate surgery.
00:16:16The medication could cause a miscarriage,
00:16:19so we need to have consent before we can proceed.
00:16:23Do it!
00:16:23Whatever it takes!
00:16:24No!
00:16:28Doctor, is there any way to do the surgery without anesthesia?
00:16:32That's not medically advisable.
00:16:34The pain would be too excruciating.
00:16:38This baby is Marco's only child,
00:16:41his only heir.
00:16:42I can't risk losing it.
00:16:45I can handle the pain.
00:16:47Oh, my brave girl.
00:16:50God bless you.
00:16:52You know, I think somebody should be with her
00:16:54during the operation.
00:16:55The pain would be just too intense.
00:16:58I'll stay with her.
00:17:19How'd it go, Doctor?
00:17:23It's a success.
00:17:27You're a real trooper,
00:17:28if you don't mind me saying.
00:17:30I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:17:52Senora Ava, please, let me help you.
00:17:58Okay, wait this way only.
00:18:04I know your stay at the hospital
00:18:06could not have been easy for you.
00:18:09That's why I'm having 30%
00:18:12of Mancini Group shares put into your name.
00:18:15No.
00:18:16Mom, I cannot accept that.
00:18:19We're family.
00:18:21It's what you deserve.
00:18:23Actually,
00:18:24I've been thinking about doing something else.
00:18:28I'd like to go back to work.
00:18:30Work?
00:18:32But, but, you're pregnant.
00:18:34Oh, honey, if you need money,
00:18:35I'll just transfer some into your account.
00:18:36No, no, it's not about money.
00:18:39Marco always said that
00:18:41we should make our own way.
00:18:44And I want our child
00:18:46to know his father
00:18:48and know what he valued.
00:18:52You are as stubborn as he was.
00:18:56Look, you're going to need protection.
00:18:59You'll accompany her.
00:19:03No, no, no, no, no.
00:19:04I can manage on my own.
00:19:09In the morning,
00:19:1010 a.m.,
00:19:11I'll be at the entrance.
00:19:21You know that I can
00:19:22talk to your manager for you,
00:19:24make sure that they accommodate
00:19:25every need.
00:19:26No need.
00:19:26I don't want any special treatments.
00:19:29Hmm.
00:19:29But, thank you for that ride.
00:19:33No, Ava,
00:19:34you do not need to be afraid of me.
00:19:37I can help you
00:19:38whenever you need.
00:19:57Why is she even back?
00:19:59Their pregnant belly
00:20:00ruins the store's aesthetic.
00:20:02These pregnant women
00:20:02know exactly what they're doing.
00:20:04Hiding behind maternity protections.
00:20:07We can't legally fire her.
00:20:09Could you reassign her
00:20:11to the warehouse?
00:20:12Maybe move some stock around?
00:20:13And if something happens
00:20:14to her or the baby,
00:20:15you want that liability?
00:20:18We can't fire her,
00:20:19but we certainly can
00:20:21make her life difficult enough
00:20:22that she decides
00:20:23to quit on her own.
00:20:44And that concludes
00:20:45our quarterly revenue projections.
00:20:50Sir, forgive my directness,
00:20:52but are we here
00:20:54because you're concerned
00:20:55about your sister-in-law?
00:21:01Should I have the car brought
00:21:03around for your next meeting?
00:21:05Can I cancel the meeting?
00:21:10I've been meaning
00:21:11to talk to you.
00:21:12Given your, um, condition,
00:21:15I've been worried
00:21:16about potential liability issues.
00:21:18My pregnancy
00:21:19will not affect my performance.
00:21:21I do not intend
00:21:22to take advantage
00:21:23of company policy.
00:21:24Oh, glad to hear that.
00:21:27Then you won't mind
00:21:28proving your commitment.
00:21:30Sell $1 million worth
00:21:32of merchandise by today
00:21:34and I'll put all
00:21:35of my concerns to rest.
00:21:36I've seen your sales record.
00:21:38I know you can do it.
00:21:47to all the doubters,
00:21:49doubters,
00:21:51to those who don't believe
00:21:55this is the hour, hour.
00:21:58You see
00:21:59that we don't make light
00:22:01is out of obstacles
00:22:02and stepping stones
00:22:04and roadblocks
00:22:05sleep over the lines
00:22:06and say we won't cross.
00:22:08But you can't
00:22:09if you're nothing
00:22:10then won't see it's coming.
00:22:12Scale of the walls
00:22:13if it's a hole with us.
00:22:15They may be blinding me.
00:22:18Just waiting.
00:22:19Sir,
00:22:20half an hour
00:22:21until closing
00:22:22and Mrs. Mancini
00:22:23has already surpassed
00:22:25the store's average monthly sales
00:22:26in a single day.
00:22:28But she's still
00:22:29a great deal short
00:22:30of the manager's
00:22:31impossible target.
00:22:35She did make it clear
00:22:37that she doesn't want
00:22:37any special treatment
00:22:38but I have been
00:22:40neglecting my own wardrobe.
00:22:42The Rossley family event
00:22:43will require
00:22:44several new suits.
00:22:45Now that you mention it,
00:22:46sir,
00:22:47your formal collection
00:22:48is missing
00:22:48quite a few essential items.
00:22:50And I should do
00:22:51some personal shopping,
00:22:53shouldn't I?
00:22:58Sir, may I assist you?
00:23:00Sir,
00:23:01this limited edition silk tie
00:23:03would go perfect
00:23:03with your complexion.
00:23:04Sir,
00:23:05I'd be happy
00:23:05to take your measurements
00:23:06personally.
00:23:08Sir,
00:23:09as store manager
00:23:10I would be honored
00:23:11to assist you
00:23:12with your needs myself.
00:23:14I'd actually like
00:23:15Miss Jackson
00:23:16to assist me.
00:23:17I hear her taste
00:23:18in men's fashion
00:23:19is exceptional.
00:23:24Shall we begin?
00:23:26Right this way, sir.
00:23:33I just need
00:23:34to take your measurements.
00:23:36Whoa,
00:23:37what are you doing?
00:23:39Your measurement bucket?
00:23:41I just needed you
00:23:42to take the jacket off.
00:23:44Well,
00:23:44we don't have much time.
00:23:50Should I do this
00:23:51too much for me?
00:23:52I know.
00:23:58I know.
00:24:00I know.
00:24:01Imagine me like this.
00:24:05Okay.
00:24:06Mm-hmm.
00:24:28Ava,
00:24:29time is almost up.
00:24:48I did it.
00:24:49I saved my job
00:24:51and I made
00:24:52a new sales record.
00:24:55There's no reason
00:24:56to thank me.
00:24:57I'm here to help
00:24:58whenever you need it.
00:25:01I hate to do this,
00:25:03but
00:25:03Ava Jackson,
00:25:05you're fired.
00:25:08Why?
00:25:10No.
00:25:11I met your target
00:25:12and then some.
00:25:13Oh.
00:25:14That last sale?
00:25:16The one that
00:25:16put you over the top?
00:25:17That was actually mine.
00:25:19You're trying to
00:25:20steal my commission?
00:25:21Well,
00:25:21that won't work
00:25:22because everyone
00:25:23in this store
00:25:24saw me make that sale.
00:25:30I get it.
00:25:31You threatened them
00:25:32into silence.
00:25:33Well,
00:25:34that won't work either
00:25:34because the security cameras
00:25:36caught everything.
00:25:39Security cameras?
00:25:47What horrible timing.
00:25:50Unfortunately,
00:25:51the security cameras
00:25:51are down for maintenance
00:25:52today.
00:25:53But fortunately,
00:25:55everyone here
00:25:56saw you destroy
00:25:57thousands of dollars
00:25:59worth of merchandise.
00:26:00You all saw Ava,
00:26:01didn't you?
00:26:03Yeah,
00:26:03we all saw it.
00:26:05So someone
00:26:06should call security.
00:26:07Better yet,
00:26:08call the police.
00:26:17I'm sorry,
00:26:18sir,
00:26:18but we're closed
00:26:19for the day.
00:26:20I heard that
00:26:20this store got trashed.
00:26:21I'm going to have
00:26:22to ask you to leave
00:26:22or I'm going to have
00:26:23to call the police.
00:26:24The police work for me.
00:26:27Are you?
00:26:28Luca Mancini?
00:26:35Sorry.
00:26:39I'm fine.
00:26:45You're welcome.
00:26:46I'm fine.
00:26:46I'm fine.
00:27:22Please, stop. I admit it, I was wrong.
00:27:26Who really damaged the merchandise in this store?
00:27:28The items that you destroyed are worth over several millions of dollars.
00:27:31That's five years in prison.
00:27:37Luca, what happened?
00:27:38There's nothing worth talking about. We need to go.
00:27:40And by the way, you're fired.
00:27:42Let's go. I'm on this journey.
00:27:48How dare that woman mess with my family?
00:27:54I will make sure, personally, that she suffers for it.
00:27:58You don't have to worry about that anymore.
00:28:00It's all taken care of, thanks to Luca.
00:28:03This door looked like a tornado hit it.
00:28:05A man who will be serving time in a jail cell.
00:28:08Justice is served.
00:28:09That's my boy.
00:28:14Sweetheart, I would like you to concentrate full-time on your pregnancy right now.
00:28:19All of this work drama can wait until after my grandchild is born safely.
00:28:24Yes, Mommy.
00:28:26I transferred five million dollars into your personal account for prenatal care.
00:28:31I am worried about the baby's well-being.
00:28:35Luca, I'd like you to take her to the doctor tomorrow for an exam.
00:28:40No, that's really not necessary.
00:28:45I have those meetings in Europe, so possibly I could have some more substitute in.
00:28:50Yeah, and I'm perfectly capable of going by myself.
00:28:54I don't want to trouble Luca with something so routine.
00:28:59It's decided.
00:29:01Cancel whatever meetings you have.
00:29:03I want you to take her.
00:29:05I will not stand for any more incidents.
00:29:08Yes, Mother.
00:29:23Ava Jackson, we're ready for you now.
00:29:26Dad should come too.
00:29:27We encourage partner participation.
00:29:30Oh, no, he's not.
00:29:35Would you prefer that I explain that I'm your dead husband's brother?
00:29:39That might be a bit awkward.
00:29:41Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, please come in when you're ready.
00:29:43Coming.
00:29:50If you could lift your top up slightly and lower your skirt band just a bit, we'll get started.
00:30:04First prenatal checkup together, I'm guessing.
00:30:11The baby looks perfectly healthy.
00:30:14Current length is about three inches with a strong heart rate.
00:30:19Is the baby moving?
00:30:21Yes, indeed.
00:30:23Look there.
00:30:24The little one's making faces.
00:30:28Quite the expressive child already.
00:30:35Dad, don't you want to come take a look?
00:30:43The baby's at 18 weeks now, developing beautifully.
00:30:49For home care, I recommend plenty of rest, nutrient-rich foods, and tactile bonding when possible.
00:30:58Tactile bonding?
00:31:00Yes.
00:31:01It's quite beneficial for fetal development.
00:31:04Come over here and place your hands on her belly.
00:31:07Doctor, is that really appropriate?
00:31:10What's inappropriate about it?
00:31:12This is what husbands do.
00:31:17Okay.
00:31:31I'm sorry.
00:31:32I'm sorry, did I hurt you?
00:31:33No, no.
00:31:34It just feels strange.
00:31:37Like this.
00:31:38Top to bottom, left to right.
00:31:42Gentle strokes.
00:31:46Got it?
00:31:49Do this once daily, five to ten minutes each.
00:31:55You can sit up now.
00:32:02Huh.
00:32:04So, everything good with the baby?
00:32:06Any special instructions I should know about?
00:32:09Nothing.
00:32:10Nothing, no.
00:32:11The doctor did say that the baby is developing beautifully, and there's nothing to worry about.
00:32:17Good news, then.
00:32:20Before I forget, the Rossi family's daughter is having her birthday celebration next weekend,
00:32:27and we should all attend.
00:32:29The Rossi family?
00:32:31Technically, they're our business rivals, but social niceties must be maintained.
00:32:38And she has had an embarrassing crush on Luca since they were little children.
00:32:43Mom, please.
00:32:45Miss Sofia Rossi has arrived unannounced.
00:32:50She shows up without calling?
00:32:52How gauche.
00:32:53Should we send Ava upstairs?
00:32:55No, no, it's fine.
00:32:56I'm here.
00:32:57We can just...
00:33:01Good evening, Mrs. Mancini.
00:33:03Luca, I came to personally deliver my birthday invitation.
00:33:06Okay.
00:33:10Luca, who is this woman?
00:33:13Luca, who is this woman?
00:33:14Hey, hey, hey.
00:33:15Rossi's family lack of manners ever disappoints me.
00:33:19Luca Mancini, how dare you speak to me like that?
00:33:22Ms. Rossi, right?
00:33:24I've heard so much about your family.
00:33:28I'm Ava, Marco's wife.
00:33:30Marco was Luca's brother.
00:33:35Oh, okay.
00:33:37I thought you were carrying Luca's baby.
00:33:39That's good, because we're nice.
00:33:42I came all this way to bring you that, and this is how you welcome me?
00:33:46Don't disappoint me at the party, darling.
00:33:48Or something sharp.
00:33:51Yes.
00:34:01See if there's any connection between that pregnant woman and Luca.
00:34:04I'm not buying this whole sister-in-law act for one second.
00:34:07You got it.
00:34:13You look so handsome.
00:34:18Well, well, well.
00:34:19Well, it looks like my stubborn son has good taste after all.
00:34:24Luca did an excellent job selecting this gown.
00:34:27It is perfect for you.
00:34:28Luca picked this?
00:34:33I've never been anywhere this fancy before.
00:34:36I might embarrass you guys.
00:34:39Don't even worry about it.
00:34:41You are my pride and joy.
00:34:44Besides, Luca will be with us the whole time, and he'll make sure everything runs smoothly.
00:34:52Luca?
00:34:53What about her shoes?
00:34:54How could you forget something so basic?
00:34:57How could you forget something so basic?
00:35:11I can't remember.
00:35:25Right there.
00:35:30No problem.
00:35:31Just don't want you to fall.
00:35:47Who's that with Mr. Mancini?
00:35:49She's clearly pregnant.
00:35:51Do you think that's Mr. Mancini's baby?
00:35:54I had no idea he was going to marry.
00:35:55Must be his mistress.
00:35:57Oh, shameless.
00:35:58Everyone, I would like to introduce Ava Mancini.
00:36:02My eldest son, Marco's wife.
00:36:05Marco's wife?
00:36:06She's stunning.
00:36:10This is my birthday party!
00:36:12I'm supposed to be the center of attention, not some pregnant woman.
00:36:18Maybe we shouldn't cause a scene here.
00:36:21It's fine.
00:36:22She's always like this.
00:36:25We didn't mean to steal your spotlight.
00:36:28An apology simply isn't enough.
00:36:30Since you're Luca's sister-in-law,
00:36:33why don't you entertain us all with a performance of some kind?
00:36:37Look, she used to deliver food for a living.
00:36:39Waitress, retail clerk, cleaning lady?
00:36:42What could someone with her background possibly perform for this grab?
00:36:57Ava, how does this piece go again?
00:37:00I'm completely lost here.
00:37:01I've forgotten everything that you've told me.
00:37:04There's no way she could actually play.
00:37:06She's just a nobody from nowhere.
00:37:08He has to be setting her up.
00:37:10Even Miss Mancini is smiling,
00:37:12just waiting for her to crash and burn.
00:37:33I was just playing for the baby.
00:37:36I think he recognized the music you were playing for us earlier.
00:37:41Well, maybe you should teach me sometime properly.
00:37:45I'd like to play for you both.
00:37:50Because Mom did tell me to look after you,
00:37:52so it's the least that I can do.
00:37:54I don't know.
00:37:56Okay.
00:38:06You're one there.
00:38:09And there.
00:38:43They're definitely more than in-laws.
00:38:45Look at the way they play together.
00:38:47If I can't have him, I'll destroy them both.
00:38:57Yeah, I always enjoy these type of events.
00:38:59Me too.
00:39:00That habit's good.
00:39:01From Miss Russell.
00:39:03Your compliments.
00:39:04Cheers.
00:39:09Sir.
00:39:09That drink is almost certainly drugged.
00:39:12Obviously.
00:39:13Is the Rossi family making a move against us?
00:39:15These tensions have been simmering for years.
00:39:18Should we respond preemptively?
00:39:24Do nothing.
00:39:25You just need to focus on protecting Ava.
00:39:28We'll see what they have planned.
00:39:36Darling, you look tired.
00:39:39I don't think all this excitement is good for your condition.
00:39:42Why don't you try to find Luca and let's get you home.
00:40:09Sophia's bedroom.
00:40:11Why is Luca's phone in there?
00:40:13And why am I jealous?
00:40:32I've wanted Luca for years.
00:40:34And then you waltz in and get his attention in weeks?
00:40:40You won't look so innocent when everyone sees you in bed next to your dead husband's brother.
00:40:45This isn't exactly how you wanted it.
00:40:48Not at all.
00:40:49This isn't convincing.
00:40:51Unbutton their clothes.
00:40:59Sal, position them closer together.
00:41:01Make it look more intimate.
00:41:02Make it look more intimate.
00:41:07Perfect.
00:41:08Let's go.
00:41:10Our masterpiece is complete.
00:41:11Now we just have to bring in an audience.
00:41:22I expected much more than this is a juvenile prank from my business partner.
00:41:37Ava, wake up.
00:41:41Ava.
00:41:43Ava.
00:41:50Ava.
00:41:52Luca.
00:41:55Oh, my God.
00:41:58What happened to us?
00:42:04This is bad.
00:42:15If anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:42:22Luca, wake up.
00:42:28Okay.
00:42:29Okay.
00:42:29I'm out.
00:42:34Jesus.
00:42:36People are coming.
00:42:37You're acting like we had some tort affair.
00:42:39We didn't do anything wrong, so why are you worrying?
00:42:41I'm your late brother's widow and I'm carrying his child.
00:42:44If anyone sees us like this, they'll, the Mancini family name will be destroyed.
00:42:49Okay.
00:42:50Okay.
00:42:52Okay.
00:42:52Okay.
00:42:53So, Mancini name is what you're concerned about, is that it?
00:42:55Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:42:58You haven't answered.
00:43:02we're coming for you.
00:43:03I do thank you all so much so much for coming today to celebrate me.
00:43:07But I do have some rather important information to share with you all.
00:43:12I have just discovered Luca Mancini in a rather compromising position with his brother's pregnant widow.
00:43:22In my bedroom!
00:43:31Can you let go?
00:43:35They're coming.
00:43:38Here, I got the sweatshop.
00:43:42Wait, stop! What? They're right there!
00:43:44If we walk through that door, we'll walk right into their trap.
00:43:47Okay, then what's your brilliant idea?
00:43:49Yes, ma'am?
00:43:49Um, we...
00:43:52Let's go through the window. We can climb down.
00:43:54Whoa, whoa, whoa, no. I'm afraid of heights.
00:43:57You're what?
00:44:00Sorry, I just didn't realize the great Luca Mancini had fears like the rest of us.
00:44:05Yeah, you know, that's one of my fears, and I don't advertise it, so deal with it.
00:44:11What the hell's do?
00:44:13Let's go see, where are these cheaters you promised to expose?
00:44:17Keep it down, you idiot. You don't want to wake them.
00:44:20I mean, we don't want to alert them to give them a chance to escape.
00:44:25They're coming. Let's go.
00:44:27Let's go.
00:44:28Okay.
00:44:29Hurry, hurry.
00:44:33No, no, no, no. Don't run. We have to catch them in the act first.
00:44:36Are you insane? Your house is on fire. Who cares about the gossip? Let's get out of here.
00:44:41No, no, no, no. I'll help everyone leave afterwards, but first let's get a look at them. Come on.
00:45:06Oh, hi.
00:45:09What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:45:10I am so sorry. It was an accident, please.
00:45:15Okay?
00:45:15Yeah.
00:45:17The staff prepared everything for you, and there's hot water in there.
00:45:25And what about you?
00:45:27We'll just be out here, taking guard for you. Now go on. It's warm.
00:45:34Thanks.
00:46:05What is it?
00:46:09Miss Rossi is demanding to see you, sir. She's quite insistent.
00:46:13Okay, let her run.
00:46:18You set off the fire alarms and completely scared away my guests. You've ruined my birthday celebration.
00:46:33Hey, you will take full responsibility for what you did. The drugging, the setup, all of it. And if you
00:46:41ever threaten Ava again, directly or indirectly, I will end the Rossi family from this city permanently.
00:46:49You're a monster. That's her in there, isn't it? Ava? Your dead brother's wife? How dare you?
00:46:58Get your hands off of me! Do you know who I am?
00:47:00Mama!
00:47:16Luca?
00:47:27Luca!
00:47:28It's me, wake up.
00:47:30Ava.
00:47:30Ava, you're so close. Is this a dream?
00:47:39Luca!
00:47:40I'm your brother's wife.
00:47:42So, so this isn't a dream. I, um...
00:47:46Ava.
00:47:47I've had feelings for you for so long.
00:47:51I've tried to keep them a secret, but I...
00:47:53I can't keep them any longer.
00:47:56And now you know my two secrets and by family code...
00:48:01I have to silence the person who discovers my weaknesses.
00:48:07Luca, let me go.
00:48:08No, no, no. But I can't silence you because, Ava, I have fallen in love with you.
00:48:14Oh, God. That's not funny.
00:48:17Look, I've never been more serious.
00:48:21Look, Ava, every time I come around you, I...
00:48:25I feel myself slipping.
00:48:28And my feelings have crossed that line months ago.
00:48:33Stop. Stop. Just stop.
00:48:36I'll forget this ever happened.
00:48:37No, Ava.
00:48:39I want to take care of you.
00:48:42And the baby.
00:48:43For the rest of my life.
00:48:53Luca, I...
00:48:54I know that you try, but you can't let me in.
00:49:00Luca, what's going on? Why isn't Ava home?
00:49:05What's going on here?
00:49:06Mom, I think...
00:49:08Nothing.
00:49:09My clothes were dirty, so Luca prepared for me a shower and clean clothes.
00:49:14Oh, thank goodness.
00:49:16The last thing we need is for you to catch pneumonia.
00:49:19Yeah, I know.
00:49:21Ava, I think that we should probably...
00:49:23Luca.
00:49:26It's almost Marco's birthday.
00:49:29Let's visit his grave.
00:49:32He is your brother and my husband.
00:49:35And we don't want to betray his memory.
00:49:39Oh, you poor thing. You must be utterly exhausted.
00:49:42Let's get you home.
00:49:44These Rossi's are nothing but trouble.
00:49:46We need to accelerate our plans against them.
00:49:59Let's go.
00:50:02I miss you.
00:50:07I feel so lost without you.
00:50:13Would you hate me?
00:50:16If you knew I had feelings for your brother.
00:50:22Ava, are you in there?
00:50:34I meant everything that I said today.
00:50:38And I want to help you get through this and I want to protect you.
00:50:42Marco and Mom, they would both understand.
00:50:47Ava, I love you.
00:51:03I understand how difficult this is.
00:51:07Your loyalty for Marco and your concern for my mother.
00:51:11That is the compassion that...
00:51:13That's the reason I fell in love with you.
00:51:19There's 30 million dollars on this credit card.
00:51:22And the pin number is your birthday.
00:51:41Been through eps and flows.
00:52:04The baby's development is right on track.
00:52:09Perfect, actually.
00:52:11The baby's development is right on track.
00:52:12Has your husband been doing those tactile bonding exercises I showed you?
00:52:17Doctor...
00:52:18Actually, he's not exactly my...
00:52:20No need to be embarrassed.
00:52:22The way that man looks at you is something special.
00:52:25That's all.
00:52:29Now face each other.
00:52:32Helena, take her hands.
00:52:34Deep inhale.
00:52:37And lean into each other.
00:52:39Using each other's weight to support you.
00:52:43Come up.
00:52:49On the exhale, do a gentle squat.
00:52:55And then share and embrace.
00:53:01Do you have anything?
00:53:08Who exactly are you welcoming home, dear daughter-in-law?
00:53:11I was just talking nonsense.
00:53:25I'll get it.
00:53:31Miss, flowers from Mr. Mancini.
00:54:07I wonder if he's doing well out there.
00:54:09Don't always look on your face when you're starting to think that you're talking too much.
00:54:15I like how we just met and I'm not even slightly afraid to be opening up.
00:54:24Hello?
00:54:25Ava?
00:54:26I'm outside at the gate.
00:54:28Security won't let me in.
00:54:34Mom, what are you doing here?
00:54:36I missed you terribly, sweetheart.
00:54:38I just wanted to check on you and the baby.
00:54:45Look.
00:54:46Fresh oranges.
00:54:48Just pick today.
00:54:49You need the vitamin C for the baby's development.
00:54:52I'm on a very carefully monitored diet.
00:54:55You wasted a trip.
00:55:00Look.
00:55:01I know that you haven't forgiven me.
00:55:03But you have to understand.
00:55:06Derek and Sarah, I mean, they would have thrown me out on the street if I didn't go along with
00:55:11them.
00:55:12I mean, what choice did I have?
00:55:15That's not rehash the past.
00:55:17Of course.
00:55:19I picked these up for my grandchild.
00:55:22Aren't they precious?
00:55:25That baby that you're carrying is my family too.
00:55:30I love them so much already.
00:55:32Look, I stood up for you to Derek and he threw me out.
00:55:37I had absolutely nothing left.
00:55:49This card contains all the money I've saved.
00:55:51It's yours.
00:55:53But you have to promise me that you'll use it for yourself.
00:55:56Not a penny goes to Derek.
00:55:58I swear it.
00:56:00Not a cent to him.
00:56:01How much money are we talking about?
00:56:03$10,000.
00:56:06$10,000?
00:56:08That's it.
00:56:10You're carrying the Mancini air and all they've given you is $10,000.
00:56:15That is my personal savings.
00:56:17I haven't asked the Mancinis for a cent.
00:56:20Okay, this is completely unacceptable.
00:56:25Everyone in this city knows that the Mancinis are loaded beyond belief.
00:56:29Come on.
00:56:30You need to milk this situation for all it's worth.
00:56:39Honey...
00:56:39I'm...
00:56:42I'm only thinking about your future.
00:56:44And your security. I mean...
00:56:47What happens if they throw you out once the baby arrives?
00:56:50I didn't marry into the Mancini family for their fortune.
00:56:54And you mention their money one more time, you'll never see me again.
00:56:59Understand?
00:57:00I understand, sweetheart.
00:57:02Mom won't say another word about it.
00:57:04I don't know.
00:57:06I don't know.
00:57:10$10,000?
00:57:11That's it?
00:57:12That's pocket change for them!
00:57:14She must be holding down on this.
00:57:18That ungrateful little brat.
00:57:20I tried everything.
00:57:22I couldn't squeeze another penny out of her.
00:57:24She's swimming in Mancini money, and we're here struggling.
00:57:28After what they did to my leg, I should be getting millions!
00:57:31Yes! A few million?
00:57:33It's just the beginning.
00:57:35We've been thinking too small.
00:57:48I have good reason to believe that we have a common enemy.
00:57:51I think we should work together.
00:57:57Um, Miss Mancini has been sleeping well, sir.
00:58:00Uh, she got the prenatal vitamins you sent her,
00:58:03and they effectively reduced her morning sickness.
00:58:06This morning, she ate half a slice of french toast,
00:58:10a half portion of scrambled eggs,
00:58:12two cherry tomatoes,
00:58:13and a glass of milk.
00:58:14And after some gentle persuasion from your mother,
00:58:17she also had a piece of steak for the iron content.
00:58:20Well, it's good to hear that she's eating healthy.
00:58:22And then she finally attended the prenatal concert we arranged,
00:58:26and afterwards she spoke with one of the pianists about the compositions.
00:58:30Is it man or woman?
00:58:31Sir, per your instructions, they were all talented women.
00:58:34No exceptions.
00:58:36And she actually mentioned you today.
00:58:39While making hot chocolate, she said to the chef,
00:58:41it's never quite as good as Luca's.
00:58:44She always knows what to say.
00:58:47I'll make her a batch right now, and we can have it delivered.
00:58:50Great. I'll arrange your private courier right away.
00:58:59Luca is almost finished with his business.
00:59:02Hopefully, he will make it home in time for the birth.
00:59:06Mrs. Mancini,
00:59:07Terrible news.
00:59:08Luca's jet has been destroyed in mid-flight heat.
00:59:11He's missing.
00:59:12What?
00:59:13I want every detail immediately.
00:59:15Yes, ma'am.
00:59:17Ava, breathe.
00:59:19Breathe.
00:59:19Don't panic.
00:59:20Don't panic.
00:59:21Luca has always been lucky.
00:59:23He's gonna be fine.
00:59:24He will.
00:59:30Hello?
00:59:30I have Luca Mancini.
00:59:3320 million dollars cash for his safe return.
00:59:35No police, no family, no security team.
00:59:39You come alone, or he dies.
00:59:42You have 24 hours.
00:59:46Who?
00:59:48Oh, Ava, are you okay?
00:59:50Who was that?
00:59:51It's nothing, nothing.
00:59:52I...
00:59:53I'm just dizzy.
00:59:55The... the baby.
00:59:57So, I'm gonna go upstairs and lie down.
01:00:01Okay.
01:00:03Here.
01:00:15Luca.
01:00:18Money first.
01:00:27Ow!
01:00:32You okay?
01:00:36Derek.
01:00:38Where's Luca?
01:00:39Where's Luca?
01:00:41Don't worry though, Luca.
01:00:43Worry about yourself.
01:01:01Yeah, with her as our bargaining chip, we can demand a hundred million dollars from the Mancini's.
01:01:10Easy.
01:01:11Mom.
01:01:13Mom, why are you doing this?
01:01:15Poor family.
01:01:16Why have you always treated me so terribly?
01:01:22Family?
01:01:24You are so pathetic!
01:01:27You just don't get it, do you?
01:01:29You're just some brat that Mom found on the street that she brought home to be our living servant.
01:01:34What are you talking about?
01:01:36What are you talking about?
01:01:36You're an orphan!
01:01:38Not even your birth mother wanted you.
01:01:42Yeah, we brought you in.
01:01:44We fed you.
01:01:45We clothed you.
01:01:46And in return, your life belongs to us.
01:01:51Oh, and by the way, since we're being honest with each other right now, my whole leg injury, it's kind
01:01:58of my fault.
01:02:00But it was a great excuse to get you to basically give up your life and be our slave all
01:02:06these years.
01:02:10You know what?
01:02:14Even though you're nothing but a bunch of orphan trash, you're actually very beautiful.
01:02:21So since we're giving up this whole brother-sister roleplay thing, I don't want to do something that I've wanted
01:02:31to do for a very, very long time.
01:02:36Stop, Derek! You're sick!
01:02:39Shhh!
01:02:41Now let's just keep that pretty little mouth of yours quiet, shall we?
01:02:50You fucking bitch!
01:02:59You fucking bitch!
01:03:15Oh, God, you're alive! You're okay!
01:03:21You're okay!
01:03:22Stop! Stop! Stop!
01:03:26My plane blew up!
01:03:28Anybody gets kidnapped!
01:03:29This isn't a coincidence!
01:03:30Who are you looking for?
01:03:31Answer me!
01:03:37Hey, make them stop. He's your brother. You'll kill him.
01:03:42You just told me I'm an orphan, so he's not really my little brother.
01:03:45You better tell me who your accomplices are, or he stops breathing.
01:03:49You two should be ashamed of yourselves.
01:03:52Yeah, I see the way that you look at each other.
01:03:54He's your dead husband's brother.
01:03:57You're betraying Marco and his mother.
01:04:02Are you alright? Hey, hey, hey. You okay?
01:04:05Yeah, yeah.
01:04:07Your mom has been so kind to me, and I dragged her into this mess.
01:04:11It's all my fault.
01:04:13Your mother-in-law took you in.
01:04:15She treated you like a daughter.
01:04:17She gave you everything that you could ever want, and this is how you repay her?
01:04:21By falling for her younger son?
01:04:24Have you already forgotten Marco? It is his grave.
01:04:27What is wrong with you?
01:04:32I want her as my daughter-in-law.
01:04:35First my eldest son's wife, and now my youngest.
01:04:41Object again, and you'll lose your tongue.
01:04:54You couldn't have Luca, so you decided to try and kill him?
01:05:01Good thing he changed his flight plan at the last minute, hmm?
01:05:06Cross the Mancini's, and you cease to exist.
01:05:10Just release me.
01:05:11My father will burn your empire to the ground.
01:05:17Don't you wonder why my son was gone all that time?
01:05:23Your family's power is already gone.
01:05:40You two have risked everything to be together.
01:05:44My father, I can see that Luca's devotion is absolute.
01:05:51You have endured far too much pain.
01:05:56It's time to let him take care of you.
01:05:58But, Marco, I made a promise.
01:06:03And Marco would want your happiness above all else.
01:06:10He will rest easier, knowing that we are protecting you and your child.
01:06:21From this moment forward, I swear to you nobody will ever hurt my family.
01:06:30Luca, you're bleeding.
01:06:35You gotta keep this clean.
01:06:37Yeah.
01:06:38Infections can get nasty.
01:06:41Okay.
01:06:43So you're saying that you care about me then?
01:06:46Shut up.
01:06:47Of course I care.
01:06:53Alright.
01:06:55Wait.
01:06:56Wait.
01:06:57Okay.
01:07:21I think he likes you.
01:07:23Yeah?
01:07:28Ava.
01:07:29I will take care of you.
01:07:31And the baby.
01:07:33Just let my brother would have.
01:07:35I brought some fruit for you and the...
01:07:39Luca.
01:07:41She's pregnant.
01:07:43Be gentle with her.
01:07:47I think maybe you should get some less.
01:07:50Okay.
01:07:54Oh.
01:07:55Wait.
01:07:58What is it?
01:07:59I think I'm in labor.
01:08:09What is taking so long?
01:08:11Is something wrong?
01:08:13She's gone into labor early.
01:08:14Have you two been intimate recently?
01:08:17Well, we didn't exactly.
01:08:19I mean, not completely.
01:08:22I warned you to be careful with her.
01:08:24I'm sorry.
01:08:25What can we do now?
01:08:26The medication isn't working as we'd hoped.
01:08:29There's another approach we could try.
01:08:32Yes.
01:08:33Yes.
01:08:33We'll do anything.
01:08:33Money's no object.
01:08:34Just help her.
01:08:35Some intimate touches can help her relax and feel better.
01:08:43Right here.
01:08:46Right here.
01:08:47Yes.
01:08:51Mom.
01:08:52I can't.
01:08:53Just whip it out.
01:08:55Don't do it.
01:08:57Hurry it up.
01:09:28I hope things are going smoothly in there.
01:09:30They've never been together before.
01:09:33Never been together?
01:09:36Then how could she be?
01:09:38The child is my late son's.
01:09:41Lucas' brother.
01:09:45You okay?
01:09:47Doctor, please.
01:09:48Doctor, please.
01:09:55Three.
01:09:56One, two, three, push.
01:09:58One, two, three, push.
01:10:02One, two, three, push.
01:10:03Push, push.
01:10:04Push.
01:10:09It's your baby.
01:10:12It's your baby.
01:10:15It's your baby.
01:10:16It's your baby.
01:10:19It's your baby.
01:10:21Hey.
01:10:22Hi.
01:10:23How you feeling?
01:10:24Good.
01:10:25You want something to eat?
01:10:27I'm okay.
01:10:28Okay.
01:10:33I thought this hospital was the best that money can buy.
01:10:35I guess I was misinformed.
01:10:38Lucas.
01:10:40They're doing the best they can.
01:10:42Let's not terrorize the staff.
01:10:46Look.
01:10:46Okay.
01:10:47I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:10:50You would tear me apart.
01:10:59Lucas.
01:11:02Remember to control yourself, son.
01:11:05Let her recover first.
01:11:12There you go.
01:11:14Just like that.
01:11:15Hi.
01:11:17And have you decided what to name this little prince?
01:11:22Marco.
01:11:24Marco.
01:11:25I want to name him Marco.
01:11:49Look, little one.
01:11:51It's your daddy.
01:11:54Your real daddy.
01:12:00It's remarkable how much he looks like.
01:12:03Marco.
01:12:05I thought you had all the answers.
01:12:08And that you handle everything.
01:12:11And I promise to protect mom.
01:12:15The business.
01:12:17And your family.
01:12:20Our family.
01:12:25You know Marco used to say
01:12:28that if you wanted to think about somebody
01:12:30you would watch the dandelion
01:12:32and if the seeds blew out easily
01:12:34then they were thinking of you too.
01:13:09And try to protect the plants.
01:13:12We can't let the flowers see it.
01:13:13We're the one who is living on the road,
01:13:13Mancini group holdings effective immediately.
01:13:22This ring has been in the Mancini family for seven generations.
01:13:28Passed from mother to daughter-in-law.
01:13:35Thank you, Mama.
01:13:42A perfect fit.
01:13:55Now, I need the two of you to focus on your top priority.
01:14:01Um, top priority?
01:14:03Giving me a granddaughter to play with little Marco Jr.
01:14:09Mama, we're at a church.
01:14:12And you're amazing.
