Short filmTranscript
00:00:02Master Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson, and she was carrying his child.
00:00:08I'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.
00:00:17Who are you, really?
00:00:21A mere day she has swindled 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 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 hurt you again.
00:00:49I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:00:58Ava, you're so close, is this a dream?
00:01:03If anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately send the nurse.
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?
00:01:31I 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, and I will protect our family.
00:01:50Hey, hey! Who are you?
00:01:53Which family do you work for?
00:01:54I just came to drop off the flowers. I didn't mean to be true.
00:01:58Luca, look at her.
00:02:00She's hardly a threat.
00:02:07For the flowers, and for the interruption, my apologies.
00:02:23Senor Mancini?
00:02:24Master Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson, and she was carrying his child.
00:02:30Get the car.
00:02:32Let me bring my daughter-in-law home, where she belongs.
00:02:43Don't worry, little one. We'll get through this together. Somehow.
00:02:51Well, looky here. Family Jinx is finally six feet under.
00:03:05Derek! Have you lost your mind? What the hell was that?
00:03:09Don't tell me that you're actually planning on keeping that little parasite.
00:03:13This is Marco's baby. This is our child. Of course I'm keeping it.
00:03:20Ever since you got knocked up, you've done nothing to help this family.
00:03:24Emily, we've been struggling while you've been out here playing the grieving widow.
00:03:28Give me one good reason why I should get rid of this baby.
00:03:34Because you owe me. This is your fault.
00:03:40I dropped out of college for this family. I took five jobs. What more could you possibly want?
00:03:45You'll never be enough, Ava. You'll owe us till the day you die.
00:03:51Please. Sweetheart, think of your brother.
00:03:57I'm gonna stomp out that little bastard right now.
00:04:01Send him straight to hell, so he can say hello to his deadbeat dad.
00:04:08Hex!
00:04:25Hex!
00:04:26What the hell is going on here? Who the hell are you people?
00:04:29Ava, right? You were here this morning.
00:04:35Enough, Luca. She's hardly up to that.
00:04:40Ma'am?
00:04:42I'm Helena Mancini, Marco's mother.
00:04:48That means I'm your baby's grandmother.
00:04:52The most powerful mafia family in the country.
00:04:57Marco was my oldest. He was my golden boy.
00:05:01I am so sorry that he concealed his identity from you.
00:05:06You have endured far too much suffering because of it.
00:05:12Plain 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?
00:05:28Derek, run!
00:05:30Maybe we should just go.
00:05:33One moment, dear.
00:05:35Anyone who raises a hand to my daughter-in-law deserves to have their fingers snapped.
00:05:42One by one.
00:05:47Come along, my dear.
00:05:49Let's get you home.
00:05:51To your real home.
00:05:59God.
00:06:15Welcome home, Senora Eva 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.
00:06:36Each of the finest specialists money can acquire.
00:06:38We pledge your absolute dedication to your health and well-being, Senora.
00:06:45War days of working multiple jobs are over, my dear.
00:06:49Ten million dollars is a little spending money.
00:06:53Well, thank you, but I can't accept this.
00:06:56I 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.
00:07:20It's a flower girl in the cemetery.
00:07:23Luca, come meet Eva, your brother's wife.
00:07:27Please, show her proper...
00:07:32Respect!
00:07:34You walk back into a Mancini household?
00:07:38You're either incredibly stupid or incredibly brave.
00:07:43Luca! Open this door immediately!
00:07:48Everyone, around back, now!
00:07:53Who are you, really?
00:07:56I'll be watching your every move, your every breath.
00:08:01So tell me...
00:08:03Who are you, really?
00:08:05My brother's dead, and you appear suddenly?
00:08:08Was this your end game all along? Our fortune?
00:08:12I didn't know Marco's a Mancini.
00:08:15And now?
00:08:15I don't need this!
00:08:16I can walk right out those doors!
00:08:18You can't walk anywhere!
00:08:19She'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?
00:08:35No!
00:08:38Question the line you want, but don't you dare question my child?
00:08:42That's my girl!
00:08:44Backbone of steel!
00:08:46Are you hurt?
00:08:48Luca!
00:08:49You are too rude!
00:08:51Ava is a good girl!
00:08:52You are falsely accusing her!
00:08:54Come on, sweetie.
00:08:56Mom's gonna take you and get some clothes.
00:08:57Pay no attention to this school.
00:09:03You 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.
00:09:27I have plenty to wear.
00:09:29And these are much too expensive.
00:09:31Oh, not to worry.
00:09:33It's all on Luca's card.
00:09:35Treat my dear daughter-in-law well.
00:09:58I'm trying to be open and honest.
00:10:02This weight on my chest, I don't want it.
00:10:06I'd hate to be breaking, I promise.
00:10:10Cause I owe you the truth that I...
00:10:13Oh, isn't she gorgeous?
00:10:20She's adequate.
00:10:24Always the tough guy act with you.
00:10:26Your eyes tell a different story, my son.
00:10:30Oh, yes.
00:10:31This is just perfect.
00:10:33We will take one of everything in her size.
00:10:38Mom?
00:10:40Mom?
00:10:41That's too generous.
00:10:43Nonsense.
00:10:44We're family now.
00:10:47I am putting Luca's contact info into your phone.
00:10:51Reach out to him.
00:10:52Whatever you need.
00:10:54And don't worry.
00:10:55He's actually quite a softy.
00:10:59Now, shall we continue shopping?
00:11:01Yes.
00:11:05Yes.
00:11:06Yes?
00:11:07Your mother has spent approximately $15 million on Miss Jackson in the last week alone.
00:11:13God.
00:11:14In mere days, she has swooned our family out of millions of dollars.
00:11:19She's clearly not an amateur.
00:11:21She's also been spending a substantial amount since marrying your brother to pay off her brother's debts.
00:11:27I want everything on her.
00:11:30Everything!
00:11:31If she is playing us for fools, then I will personally ensure that she regrets ever hearing the name Manchino.
00:11:45I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:11:47I hate to put extra stress on your shoulders, but we need to discuss the incredible cost of your husband's
00:11:54care and how the bill will be paid.
00:11:57Limited edition is perfect for you.
00:12:04Marco, you just focus on getting better, okay?
00:12:08Don't worry about the bills.
00:12:10I've got it covered.
00:12:19Your brother married Miss Jackson under false pretenses.
00:12:22She worked several jobs to make that money.
00:12:25And when your brother got sick, she worked to pay off his medical bills.
00:12:29And then day and night for his funeral.
00:12:31Did I get her all wrong?
00:12:45Hello?
00:12:46Mother is unwell.
00:12:47You need to return home immediately.
00:12:51What's wrong with mom?
00:12:54Is she hurt?
00:12:58Mom?
00:13:00What's going on?
00:13:06Ava, please don't be angry.
00:13:09We just had to get you here.
00:13:16What are you doing?
00:13:17Since you won't help us financially, we had to find another solution.
00:13:21Victor Fang.
00:13:23That old loan shark's willing to give us $80,000 just to marry you.
00:13:32Are you insane?
00:13:34I'm pregnant.
00:13:36Your husband's dead, Ava.
00:13:38Why keep his baby?
00:13:39Think about your family.
00:13:40Mr. Fang is waiting.
00:13:42Don't make this harder than it needs to be.
00:13:45You are not selling me off to Victor Fang!
00:13:51If she dies, how will you provide for this child?
00:13:57She's calling someone!
00:14:06Hello?
00:14:12Ava's in danger.
00:14:13We need to move.
00:14:13Go, go, go!
00:14:33You think someone's coming to save you?
00:14:36God!
00:14:40Who dares manhandle my future bride?
00:14:43Mr. Fang.
00:14:44Oh, it's such a pleasure.
00:14:46This is Ava, my sister, who we discussed.
00:14:49Ooh, two for the price of one, I see.
00:14:52Oh, it's just some dead guy's kid.
00:14:54If you want, I can take care of it right now.
00:14:56We can offer you a discount.
00:14:58I think $60,000 is more than fair.
00:15:00Pennies!
00:15:00For somebody of your wealth!
00:15:02Derek, you're sick!
00:15:03I'm your sister!
00:15:04This is your nephew!
00:15:05My son's future is more important to me
00:15:08than that stupid little bastard of yours!
00:15:10Hey, hey!
00:15:11No need to be so rough with such a beautiful lady.
00:15:15Now, dear.
00:15:17Just take this right here
00:15:19and it'll make things easier for everybody.
00:15:22Oh, okay!
00:15:24You're a little feisty, I see.
00:15:28Maybe you just need a little personal attention.
00:15:42I'm sorry!
00:15:43You're a little face!
00:15:46I don't know, too!
00:15:46I'm sorry!
00:15:47Sorry, Ethan!
00:15:47I'm sorry, Ethan!
00:15:48You're a little too old too!
00:15:49Huh?
00:15:54I've been thinking about it!
00:15:56I'm sorry, Ethan!
00:15:57I did!
00:15:58I thought it was something new.
00:15:59I think we had to do this.
00:15:59You're the first guy's mum,
00:16:00and the little girl's mum.
00:16:01You were the little girl.
00:16:03Who the hell do you think you are?
00:16:07I'm looking at Mancini.
00:16:09Mancini, you idiot. You killed me.
00:16:13How did my sister get caught up with the likes of you?
00:16:15Ava 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?
00:16:25Looks like your wife is pregnant too.
00:16:28Yes, yes, it's true.
00:16:30I swear, we didn't know. Please, please.
00:16:32You will be dealt with tenfold what you did to Ava.
00:16:40Get a doctor! Get a doctor! Get a car and deal with him.
00:17:12Ava is a very corrupt and unsafe.
00:17:13Music is completely dead.
00:17:19Mom, hey.
00:17:22How's Ava? How's the baby?
00:17:25The doctors are examining her now.
00:17:31Doctor, how is she?
00:17:32Mrs. Mancini has a severe ankle fracture that it needs immediate surgery.
00:17:37The medication could cause a miscarriage, so we need to have consent before we can proceed.
00:17:44Do it, whatever it takes.
00:17:45No!
00:17:49Doctor, is there any way to do the surgery without anesthesia?
00:17:53That's not medically advisable. The pain would be too excruciating.
00:17:59This baby is Marco's only child, his only heir.
00:18:03I can't risk losing it.
00:18:06I can handle the pain.
00:18:08Oh, my brave girl.
00:18:10God bless you.
00:18:12You know, I think somebody should be with her during the operation.
00:18:16The pain would be just too intense.
00:18:19I'll stay with her.
00:18:44How'd it go, doctor?
00:18:44It's a success.
00:18:47You're a real trooper, if you don't mind me saying.
00:18:51I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:19:13Senora Ava, please, let me help you.
00:19:25I know your stay at the hospital could not have been easy for you.
00:19:29That's why I'm having 30% of Mancini Group shares put into your name.
00:19:35No, Mom, I cannot accept that.
00:19:39We're family.
00:19:42It's what you deserve.
00:19:43Actually, I've been thinking about doing something else.
00:19:48I'd like to go back to work.
00:19:51Work?
00:19:52But, 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.
00:20:17Well, 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.
00:20:46No need.
00:20:47I don't want any special treatments.
00:20:50But, thank you for that ride.
00:20:54No, Ava, you do not need to be afraid of me.
00:20:57I can help you.
00:20:59Whenever you need.
00:21:18Why is she even back?
00:21:20That pregnant belly ruins the store's aesthetic.
00:21:22These pregnant women know exactly what they're doing.
00:21:25Hiding behind maternity protections.
00:21:28We can't legally fire her.
00:21:30Could you reassign her to the warehouse?
00:21:32Maybe move some stock around?
00:21:34And if something happens to her or the baby,
00:21:36you want that liability?
00:21:38We can't fire her,
00:21:40but we certainly can make her life difficult enough
00:21:43that she decides to quit on her own.
00:22:04And that concludes our quarterly revenue projections.
00:22:11Sir, forgive my directness,
00:22:13but are we here because you're concerned about your sister-in-law?
00:22:22Should I have the car brought around for your next meeting?
00:22:26Can you answer the meeting?
00:22:31I've been meaning to talk to you.
00:22:33Given your, um, condition,
00:22:36I've been worried about potential liability issues.
00:22:39My pregnancy will not affect my performance.
00:22:42I do not intend to take advantage of company policy.
00:22:45Oh, glad to hear that.
00:22:48Then you won't mind proving your commitment.
00:22:51Sell $1 million worth of merchandise by today,
00:22:54and I'll put all of my concerns to rest.
00:22:57I've seen your sales record.
00:22:59I know you can do it.
00:23:01I know you can do it.
00:23:07Take care.
00:23:08To all the doubters, doubters,
00:23:12to those who don't believe,
00:23:16this is the hour, hour.
00:23:19You'll see
00:23:20there will not make lighters out of obstacles
00:23:23and set pis Ano dro 요�
00:23:25to step over the lines to say we won't crash.
00:23:40Sir, half an hour until closing, and Mrs. Mancini has already surpassed the store's average monthly sales in a single
00:23:48day.
00:23:49But she's still a great deal short of the manager's impossible target.
00:23:56She did make it clear that she doesn't want any special treatment, but I have been neglecting my own wardrobe.
00:24:03And the Rossley family event will require several new suits.
00:24:06Now that you mention it, sir, your formal collection is missing quite a few essential items.
00:24:11And I should do some special shopping, shouldn't I?
00:24:19Sir, may I assist you?
00:24:20Sir, this limited edition silk tie would go perfect with your complexion.
00:24:25Sir, I'd be happy to take your measurements, personally.
00:24:28Sir, as store manager, I would be honored to assist you with your needs myself.
00:24:35I'd actually like Miss Jackson to assist me.
00:24:38I hear her taste in men's fashion is exceptional.
00:24:45Shall we begin?
00:24:46Right this way, sir.
00:24:53All right, I just need to take your measurements.
00:24:57Whoa, what are you doing?
00:24:59You measure what?
00:25:02I just needed you to take the jacket off.
00:25:05Well, we don't have much time.
00:25:13I know.
00:25:19Now, measure me like this.
00:25:25Nice.
00:25:27Mm-hmm.
00:25:49Ava, time is almost up.
00:26:09I did it.
00:26:10I saved my job.
00:26:12And I made a new sales record.
00:26:15There's no reason to thank me.
00:26:17I'm here to help.
00:26:19Whenever you need it.
00:26:21I hate to do this, but...
00:26:24Ava Jackson...
00:26:26You're fired.
00:26:29What?
00:26:31No.
00:26:32I met your target and then some.
00:26:34Oh.
00:26:35That last sale?
00:26:36The one that put you over the top?
00:26:38That was actually mine.
00:26:40You're trying to steal my commission.
00:26:42Well, that won't work because everyone in this store saw me make that sale.
00:26:51I get it.
00:26:52You threatened them into silence.
00:26:54Well, that won't work either.
00:26:55Because the security cameras caught everything.
00:27:00Security cameras?
00:27:08What a horrible timing.
00:27:11Unfortunately, the security cameras are down for maintenance today.
00:27:14But fortunately, everyone here saw you destroy thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
00:27:21You all saw Ava, didn't you?
00:27:23Yeah, we all saw it.
00:27:26So someone should call security.
00:27:28Better yet, call the police.
00:27:38I'm sorry, sir, but we're closed for the day.
00:27:40I heard that this store got trashed.
00:27:42I'm going to have to ask you to leave or I'm going to have to call the police.
00:27:45The police work for me.
00:27:47Are you?
00:27:49Luca Mancini?
00:27:55Is that me?
00:28:06I'm going to have to ask you.
00:28:43Please stop. I admit it. I was wrong.
00:28:46Who really damaged the merchandise in this story?
00:28:49The items that you destroyed are worth over several millions of dollars at five years of prison.
00:28:58Luca, 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.
00:29:10Occhadero, 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.
00:29:21It's all taken care of, thanks to Luca.
00:29:24This door looked like a tornado hit it.
00:29:26A man who will be serving time in a jail cell.
00:29:29Justice is served.
00:29:30That's my boy.
00:29:35Sweetheart, I would like you to concentrate full-time on your pregnancy right now.
00:29:40All of this work drama can wait until after my grandchild is born safely.
00:29:45Yes, Mommy.
00:29:46I 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.
00:29:59No, that's really not necessary.
00:30:06I have those meetings in Europe, so possibly I could have some more substitute in it.
00:30:10Yeah, and I'm perfectly capable of going by myself.
00:30:14I, uh, I don't want to travel, Luca, with something so routine.
00:30:20It's decided.
00:30:22Cancel whatever meetings you have.
00:30:24I want you to take her.
00:30:26I will not stand for any more incidents.
00:30:29Yes, Mother.
00:30:44Ava Jackson, we're ready for you now.
00:30:46Dad 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.
00:31:01Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, please come in when you're ready.
00:31:04Coming.
00:31:11If you could lift your top up slightly and lower your skirt band just a bit, we'll get started.
00:31:24First prenatal checkup together, I'm guessing.
00:31:32The 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.
00:31:44Look there.
00:31:45The little one's making faces.
00:31:49Quite the expressive child already.
00:32:04The baby's at 18 weeks now, developing beautifully.
00:32:10For home care, I recommend plenty of rest, nutrient-rich foods,
00:32:15and tactile bonding when possible.
00:32:19Tactile bonding?
00:32:21Yes.
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 about it?
00:32:33This is what husbands do.
00:32:38Okay.
00:32:51Sorry, did I hurt you?
00:32:53No, no.
00:32:55It just feels strange.
00:32:57Like this.
00:32:59Top to bottom, left to right.
00:33:02Gentle strokes.
00:33:07Got it?
00:33:09Got it.
00:33:10Do this once daily, five to ten minutes each.
00:33:16You can sit up now.
00:33:23Huh.
00:33:24So, everything good with the baby?
00:33:26Any special instructions I should know about?
00:33:30Nothing.
00:33:31Nothing, no.
00:33:31The doctor did say that the baby is developing beautifully,
00:33:35and there's nothing to worry about.
00:33:38Good news, then.
00:33:41Before I forget,
00:33:43the Rossi family's daughter is having her birthday celebration next weekend,
00:33:47and we should all attend.
00:33:50The Rossi family?
00:33:52Technically, they're our business rivals,
00:33:54but social niceties must be maintained.
00:33:59And she has had an embarrassing crush on Luca since they were little children.
00:34:04Mom, please.
00:34:06Miss Sofia Rossi has arrived unannounced.
00:34:10She shows up without calling?
00:34:12How gauche.
00:34:14Should we send Eva upstairs?
00:34:16No, no, it's fine.
00:34:17I'm here.
00:34:17We can just...
00:34:21Good evening, Mrs. Mancini.
00:34:24Luca!
00:34:24I 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, Rossi's family lack of manners never disappoints me.
00:34:40Luca Mancini, how dare you speak to me like that?
00:34:43Miss Rossi, right?
00:34:44I've heard so much about your family.
00:34:48I'm Eva, 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 Luca's wife.
00:35:02I came all this way to bring you that,
00:35:04and this is how you welcome me?
00:35:06Don't disappoint me at the party, darling.
00:35:09Wear something sharp.
00:35:12Yes.
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.
00:35:34You look so handsome.
00:35:39Well, well, well.
00:35:40Well, it looks like my stubborn son has good taste after all.
00:35:44Luca did an excellent job selecting this gown.
00:35:47It is perfect for you.
00:35:49Luca picked this?
00:35:54I've never been anywhere this fancy before.
00:35:57I might embarrass you guys.
00:36:00Don't even worry about it.
00:36:02You are my pride and joy.
00:36:05Besides, Luca will be with us the whole time,
00:36:07and he'll make sure everything runs smoothly.
00:36:13Luca?
00:36:14Luca?
00:36:14What about our shoes?
00:36:15How could you forget something so basic?
00:36:17I'm sorry.
00:36:31I can't get in here.
00:36:45Right there.
00:36:50No problem.
00:36:52Just don't want you to fall.
00:37:08Who's that with Mr. Mancini?
00:37:10She's clearly pregnant.
00:37:12Do you think that's Mr. Mancini's baby?
00:37:14I had no idea he was going to marry.
00:37:16Must be his mistress.
00:37:18Oh sure, Miss.
00:37:19Everyone, I would like to introduce Ava Mancini.
00:37:23My eldest son Marco's wife.
00:37:26Marco's wife?
00:37:27She's stunning.
00:37:31This is my birthday party.
00:37:33I'm supposed to be the center of attention, not some pregnant woman.
00:37:39Maybe we shouldn't cross a scene here.
00:37:41It's fine.
00:37:43She's almost like this.
00:37:45We didn't mean to steal your spotlight.
00:37:49An 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?
00:37:58Look, 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 crowd?
00:38:18Ava, how does this piece go again?
00:38:20I am completely lost here.
00:38:22I've forgotten everything that you've told me.
00:38:24There's no way she could actually play.
00:38:26She's just a nobody from nowhere.
00:38:29He has to be setting her up.
00:38:30Even 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.
00:39:01Well, maybe you should teach me sometime properly.
00:39:06I'd like to play for you both.
00:39:10Because Mom did tell me to look after you, so it's the least that I can do.
00:39:26One, two, and there.
00:40:03They're definitely more than in-laws.
00:40:06Look at the way they play together.
00:40:08If I can't have him, I'll destroy them both.
00:40:17Yeah, I always enjoy these type of events.
00:40:20Me too. That's how it's screwed up.
00:40:22From Miss Rossi. The accompaniments.
00:40:25Cheers.
00:40:29Sir, that drink is almost certainly drugged.
00:40:32Obviously.
00:40:33Is the Rossi family making a move against us?
00:40:36These tensions have been simmering for years.
00:40:38Should we respond preemptively?
00:40:44Do nothing. You just need to focus on protecting Ava.
00:40:49We'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.
00:41:30Sofía's bedroom. Why is Luca's phone in there? And why am I jealous?
00:41:52I've wanted Luca for years. And then you waltz in and get his attention in weeks?
00:42:01You won't look so innocent when everyone sees you in bed next to your dead husband's brother.
00:42:06This isn't exactly how you wanted it.
00:42:09Not at all. This isn't convincing. Unbutton their clothes.
00:42:19Sal, position them closer together. Make it look more intimate.
00:42:28Perfect. Let's go. Our masterpiece is complete.
00:42:31Now we just have to bring in an audience.
00:42:43I expected much more than just this juvenile prank from my business partner.
00:42:58Ava, wake up.
00:43:01Ava.
00:43:03Ava.
00:43:15Ava.
00:43:17Ava.
00:43:18Ava.
00:43:19Ava.
00:43:20Ava.
00:43:20Ava.
00:43:31Ava.
00:43:34Ava.
00:43:35Ava.
00:43:36Ava.
00:43:37Ava.
00:43:42Ava.
00:43:43Ava.
00:43:44Ava.
00:43:45Ava.
00:43:45Ava.
00:43:46Ava.
00:43:48Okay.
00:43:52Oh!
00:43:53Oh!
00:43:54Geez.
00:43:56People are coming.
00:43:57You're acting like we had some tour de faire.
00:43:59We didn't do anything wrong, so why are you worrying?
00:44:02I'm your late brother's widow and I'm carrying his child.
00:44:05If anyone sees us like this, they'll...
00:44:07The Mancini family name won't be destroyed.
00:44:10Okay.
00:44:11Okay.
00:44:13Fine.
00:44:13So, Mancini name is what you're concerned about, is that it?
00:44:16Hey, hey, hey.
00:44:18You haven't answered me.
00:44:23Thank you all so much for coming today to celebrate me.
00:44:28But I do have some rather important information to share with you all.
00:44:32I have just discovered Luca Mancini in a rather compromising position with his brother's pregnant
00:44:41widow.
00:44:43In my bedroom.
00:44:52Can you let go?
00:44:56They're coming.
00:44:57They're coming.
00:45:01Here, I got this.
00:45:02Watch out.
00:45:02Wait, stop.
00:45:03Watch.
00:45:04They're right there.
00:45:04Sure.
00:45:05If we walk through that door, we'll walk right into their trap.
00:45:08Okay.
00:45:08Then what's your brilliant idea?
00:45:09Yes, ma'am?
00:45:10Um...
00:45:11We...
00:45:12Let's go through the window.
00:45:13We can climb down.
00:45:14Whoa, whoa, whoa, no.
00:45:15I...
00:45:15No, no.
00:45:16I'm...
00:45:16I'm afraid of heights.
00:45:18You're what?
00:45:21Sorry.
00:45:21I just didn't realize the great Luca Mancini had fears like the rest of us.
00:45:25Yeah.
00:45:26You 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?
00:45:34What are these cheaters you promised to expose?
00:45:37Shh!
00:45:38Keep it down, you idiot.
00:45:39You don't want to wake them.
00:45:40I mean, we don't want to alert them to give them a chance to escape.
00:45:45They're coming.
00:45:46Let's go.
00:45:48Okay.
00:45:49Hurry, hurry.
00:45:54No, no, no.
00:45:55Don't run.
00:45:56We have to catch them in the act first.
00:45:57Are you insane?
00:45:58Your house is on fire.
00:45:59Who cares about the gossip?
00:46:01Let's get out of here.
00:46:02No, no, no.
00:46:02No!
00:46:03I'll help everyone leave afterwards.
00:46:04But first, let's get a look at them.
00:46:06Come on!
00:46:11Oh!
00:46:13Oh!
00:46:15Oh!
00:46:16Oh!
00:46:16Oh!
00:46:17Oh!
00:46:19Oh!
00:46:20Oh!
00:46:20Oh!
00:46:27Oh!
00:46:28Oh!
00:46:28Oh!
00:46:28Oh!
00:46:28Oh!
00:46:28Oh!
00:46:28Oh!
00:46:29Oh!
00:46:30What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:46:31I am so sorry.
00:46:32It was an accident.
00:46:33Please.
00:46:35You okay?
00:46:36Yeah.
00:46:38The staff prepared everything for you, and there's hot water in there.
00:46:46And what about you?
00:46:48Oh, I'll just be out here.
00:46:49Taking guard for you.
00:46:51Now go on.
00:46:52It's warm.
00:46:55Thanks.
00:47:27What is it?
00:47:29Uh, Miss Rossi is demanding to see you, sir.
00:47:32She's quite insistent.
00:47:34Okay.
00:47:34Let it run.
00:47:39You set off the fire alarms and completely scared away my guests!
00:47:42You've ruined my birthday celebration!
00:47:54Hey!
00:47:55You will take full responsibility for what you did.
00:47:58The drugging, the setup, all of it.
00:48:01And if you ever threaten Ava again, directly or indirectly, I will end the Rossi family from
00:48:08this city permanently.
00:48:10You're a monster.
00:48:11You're a monster.
00:48:12That's her in there, isn't it?
00:48:13Ava?
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?
00:48:21I'm a...
00:48:23I'm a...!
00:48:43I'm not!
00:48:47I'm not!
00:48:48I'm not!
00:48:50Ava, you're so close.
00:48:51Is this a dream?
00:49:00Luca, I'm your brother's wife.
00:49:03So this isn't a dream.
00:49:07Ava, I've had feelings for you for so long.
00:49:11And I've tried to keep them a secret, but I can't keep them any longer.
00:49:17And now you know my two secrets, and by family code, I have to silence the person who discovers my
00:49:25weaknesses.
00:49:27Luca, let me go.
00:49:29No, no, no, but I can't silence you because, Ava, I have fallen in love with you.
00:49:34Oh, God, that's not funny.
00:49:38Look, I've never been more serious.
00:49:41Look, Ava, every time I come around you, I feel myself slipping.
00:49:48And my feelings have crossed that line months ago.
00:49:53Stop, stop, just stop.
00:49:56I'll forget this ever happened.
00:49:58No, Ava.
00:50:00I want to take care of you.
00:50:02And the baby.
00:50:04For the rest of my life.
00:50:08I want to take care of you.
00:50:20Luca, 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.
00:50:52He is your brother and my husband.
00:50:55And we don't want to betray his memory.
00:50:59Oh, you poor thing.
00:51:00You must be utterly exhausted.
00:51:02Let's get you home.
00:51:04These Rossi's are nothing but trouble.
00:51:07We need to accelerate our plans against them.
00:51:20Marco.
00:51:23I miss you.
00:51:27I feel so lost without you.
00:51:34Would you hate me if you knew I had feelings for your brother?
00:51:42Ava, are you in there?
00:51:52Ava, are you there?
00:51:54I meant everything that I said today.
00:51:58And I want to help you get through this, and I want to protect you.
00:52:02Marco 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...
00:52:34That's the reason I fell in love with you.
00:52:39There's $30 million on this credit card, and the pin number is your birthday.
00:52:44Been through epsom flows, or this goodbye felt like the end.
00:52:49Can't deny, I can't pretend, that this fire burns again.
00:52:57Illuminating rain.
00:52:59I feel alive, one more time our worlds collide.
00:53:04Watch them circling in the sky.
00:53:08We are magnetic sides.
00:53:11I'm falling in love with you.
00:53:14No one loves me like you do.
00:53:17Thought that you and I went through.
00:53:25The baby's development is right on track.
00:53:29Perfect, actually.
00:53:32Has your husband been doing those tactile bonding exercises I showed you?
00:53:36Doctor, uh, actually, he's not exactly right.
00:53:41Oh, no need to be embarrassed.
00:53:43The way that man looks at you is something special.
00:53:50Now face each other.
00:53:53Helena, take her hands.
00:53:55Deep inhale.
00:53:57And lean into each other.
00:53:59Using each other's weight to support you.
00:54:04Come up.
00:54:09On the exhale, do a gentle squat.
00:54:15And then share and embrace.
00:54:21You're going to be home.
00:54:28Who exactly are you welcoming home, dear daughter-in-law?
00:54:32I was just talking nonsense.
00:54:45I'll get it.
00:54:51Miss, flowers from Mr. Mancini.
00:55:27I wonder if he's doing well out there.
00:55:29a nervous look on your face
00:55:31when you're starting to think
00:55:32that you're talking too much.
00:55:35I like how we just met
00:55:37and I'm not even slightly afraid
00:55:39to be opening up.
00:55:44Hello?
00:55:45Ava?
00:55:46I'm outside at the gate.
00:55:48Security won't let me in.
00:55:55Mom, what are you doing here?
00:55:57I missed you terribly, sweetheart.
00:55:58I just wanted to check on you
00:56:00and the baby.
00:56:05Look.
00:56:07Fresh oranges.
00:56:08Just pick today.
00:56:10You need the vitamin C
00:56:11for the baby's development.
00:56:12I'm on a very carefully monitored diet.
00:56:16You wasted a trip.
00:56:20Look.
00:56:21I know that you haven't forgiven me.
00:56:23But you have to understand.
00:56:27Derek and Sarah,
00:56:28I mean, they would have thrown me out on the street
00:56:31if I didn't go along with them.
00:56:32I mean, what choice did I have?
00:56:36That's not rehash the past.
00:56:38Of course.
00:56:40I picked these up for my grandchild.
00:56:43Aren't they precious?
00:56:45That baby that you're carrying
00:56:48is my family, too.
00:56:50I love them so much already.
00:56:53Look, I stood up for you
00:56:54to Derek
00:56:55and he threw me out.
00:56:57I had absolutely nothing left.
00:57:09This card contains all the money I've saved.
00:57:12It's yours.
00:57:13But you have to promise me
00:57:14that 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?
00:57:24$10,000.
00:57:27$10,000?
00:57:29That's it.
00:57:30You're carrying the Mancini air
00:57:32and all they've given you is $10,000.
00:57:35That is my personal savings.
00:57:38I haven't asked the Mancinis for a cent.
00:57:40Okay, this is completely unacceptable.
00:57:45Everyone in this city
00:57:46knows that the Mancinis
00:57:48are loaded beyond belief.
00:57:49Come on.
00:57:50You need to milk this situation
00:57:52for all it's worth.
00:57:59Honey,
00:58:00I'm...
00:58:02I'm only thinking about your future
00:58:04and your security.
00:58:06I mean,
00:58:07what happens if they throw you out
00:58:09once the baby arrives?
00:58:10I didn't marry into the Mancini family
00:58:13for their fortune.
00:58:15And you mention their money one more time,
00:58:18you'll never see me again.
00:58:20Understood?
00:58:20I understand, sweetheart.
00:58:23Mom won't say another word about it.
00:58:30$10,000?
00:58:31That's it?
00:58:32That's pocket change for them!
00:58:35She must be holding out on us.
00:58:38That 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
00:58:47and we're here struggling.
00:58:48After what they did to my leg,
00:58:50I should be getting millions!
00:58:52Yes!
00:58:52A few million?
00:58:54It's just the beginning.
00:58:56We've been thinking too small.
00:59:08I have good reason to believe
00:59:10that we have a common enemy.
00:59:11I think we should work together.
00:59:18Miss Mancini has been sleeping well, sir.
00:59:20She got the prenatal vitamins you sent her
00:59:23and they effectively reduced her morning sickness.
00:59:27And this morning,
00:59:27she ate half a slice of French toast,
00:59:30a half portion of scrambled eggs,
00:59:32two cherry tomatoes,
00:59:33and a glass of milk.
00:59:34And after some gentle persuasion from your mother,
00:59:37she also had a piece of steak
00:59:39for the iron content.
00:59:40It's good to hear that she's eating healthy.
00:59:42And then she finally attended
00:59:44the prenatal concert we arranged.
00:59:46And afterward,
00:59:47she spoke with one of the pianists
00:59:49about the compositions.
00:59:51Is it man or woman?
00:59:52Sir, per your instructions,
00:59:53they were all talented women.
00:59:55No exceptions.
00:59:56And she actually mentioned you today.
00:59:59While making hot chocolate,
01:00:00she said to the chef,
01:00:02it's never quite as good as Lucas.
01:00:04She always knows what to say.
01:00:08I'll make her a batch right now
01:00:10and we can have it delivered.
01:00:11Great.
01:00:12I'll arrange your private courier right away.
01:00:19Luca is almost finished with his business.
01:00:22Hopefully, he will make it home
01:00:23in time for the birth.
01:00:26Mrs. Fincini,
01:00:28it's terrible news.
01:00:29Luca's jet has been destroyed
01:00:30amid a flight.
01:00:30He...
01:00:31He's missing.
01:00:32What?
01:00:33I want every detail immediately.
01:00:35Yes, ma'am.
01:00:38Ava, breathe.
01:00:39Breathe.
01:00:39Don't panic.
01:00:41Don't panic.
01:00:42Luca has always been lucky.
01:00:43He's gonna be fine.
01:00:45He will.
01:00:50Hello?
01:00:51I have Luca Mancini.
01:00:5320 million dollars cash
01:00:54for his safe return.
01:00:56No police,
01:00:57no family,
01:00:58no security team.
01:00:59You come alone
01:01:00or he dies.
01:01:02You have 24 hours.
01:01:06Who?
01:01:08Oh, Ava,
01:01:09are you okay?
01:01:10Who was that?
01:01:11It's nothing, nothing.
01:01:13I'm just dizzy.
01:01:15The baby.
01:01:17So I'm gonna go upstairs
01:01:18and lie down.
01:01:21Okay.
01:01:23Here.
01:01:37Money first.
01:01:39First.
01:01:49Ow!
01:01:53You okay?
01:01:56Derek?
01:01:58Where's Luke?
01:02:00Where's Luke?
01:02:01Don't worry about Luke.
01:02:03Worry about yourself.
01:02:22Yeah, with her as our bargaining chip, we can demand a hundred million dollars from the mad cheese. Easy.
01:02:32Mom, why are you doing this? Poor family. Why have you always treated me so terribly?
01:02:42Family?
01:02:44You are so pathetic!
01:02:47You just don't get it, do you?
01:02:49You're just some brat that Mom found on the street that she brought home to be our living servant.
01:02:56You're an orphan!
01:02:58Not even your birth mother wanted you.
01:03:02Yeah, we brought you in.
01:03:04We fed you. We clothed you.
01:03:07And in return, your life belongs to us.
01:03:12Oh, and uh, by the way, since we're being honest with each other right now, my whole leg injury, it's
01:03:18kind of my fault.
01:03:20But it was a great excuse to get you to basically give up your life and be our slave in
01:03:26all these years.
01:03:27Yes.
01:03:30You know what?
01:03:34Even though you're nothing but a bunch of orphan trash, you're actually very beautiful.
01:03:41So since we're giving up this whole brother-sister roleplay thing, I don't want to do something that I've wanted
01:03:52to do for a very, very long time.
01:03:56Stop, Derek! You're sick!
01:03:58Shhh!
01:04:02Now let's just keep that pretty little mouth of yours quiet, shall we?
01:04:11You fucking bitch!
01:04:35Oh, God! You're alive! You're okay!
01:04:38Oh, my God!
01:04:42Stop! Stop! Stop!
01:04:46My plane blew up!
01:04:48Anyone gets kidnapped!
01:04:49This isn't a coincidence!
01:04:50Who are you looking for?
01:04:52Answer me!
01:04:54Stop!
01:04:57Hey, make them stop!
01:04:59He's your brother!
01:05:01They'll kill him!
01:05:02You just told me I'm an orphan, so he's not really my little brother.
01:05:05You better tell me who your accomplices are, or he stops breathing.
01:05:09You two should be ashamed of yourselves.
01:05:12Dad, see the way that you look at each other?
01:05:14He's your dead husband's brother!
01:05:17You're betraying Marco and his mother!
01:05:22Are you alright?
01:05:23Hey, hey, hey!
01:05:24You okay?
01:05:25Yeah, yeah.
01:05:27Your mom has been so kind to me, and I dragged her into this mess.
01:05:31It's all my fault.
01:05:34Your mother-in-law took you in.
01:05:36She treated you like a daughter.
01:05:37She gave you everything that you could ever want, and this is how you repay her?
01:05:41By falling for her younger son?
01:05:43Have you already forgotten Marco and his grave?
01:05:47What is wrong with you?
01:05:52I want her as my daughter-in-law.
01:05:55First my eldest son's wife, and now my youngest.
01:06:01Objective then, and you'll lose your tongue.
01:06:14You couldn't have Luca, so you decided to try and kill him?
01:06:21Good thing he changed his flight plan at the last minute, hmm?
01:06:26Cross the Mancini's, and you cease to exist.
01:06:30Release me!
01:06:31My father will burn your empire to the ground.
01:06:37Don't you wonder why my son was gone all that time?
01:06:43Your family's power...
01:06:47Already gone.
01:07:00You two have risked everything to be together.
01:07:05I can see that Luca's devotion is absolute.
01:07:11You have endured far too much pain.
01:07:16It's time to let him take care of you.
01:07:18But... Marco... I made a promise to him.
01:07:23And Marco...
01:07:25Would want your happiness above all else.
01:07:30He will rest easier...
01:07:33Knowing that we are protecting you...
01:07:36And your child.
01:07:41From this moment forward, I swear to you nobody will ever...
01:07:50Luca, you're bleeding.
01:07:55You gotta keep this clean.
01:07:57Yeah.
01:07:58Infections can get nasty.
01:08:01Okay.
01:08:03So you're saying that you care about me then?
01:08:06Shut up.
01:08:08Of course I care.
01:08:13Alright.
01:08:15Wait.
01:08:16Okay.
01:08:41I think he likes you.
01:08:43Yeah?
01:08:48Eva.
01:08:49I will take care of you.
01:08:52And the baby.
01:08:53Just like my brother would have.
01:08:55I brought some fruit for you and the...
01:08:59Luca!
01:09:01She's pregnant.
01:09:03Be gentle with her.
01:09:07I think maybe you should get some less.
01:09:10Okay.
01:09:15Wait.
01:09:18What is it?
01:09:19I think I'm in labor.
01:09:21Oh my god.
01:09:22Come on.
01:09:24Take easy sleep.
01:09:29What is taking so long?
01:09:31Is something wrong?
01:09:33She's gone into labor early.
01:09:35Have you two been intimate recently?
01:09:37We didn't exactly.
01:09:40I mean...
01:09:41Not completely.
01:09:42I warned you to be careful with her.
01:09:45What can we do now?
01:09:46The medication isn't working as we'd hoped.
01:09:49There's another approach we could try.
01:09:51Yes.
01:09:53Yes.
01:09:53We'll do anything.
01:09:53There's no object.
01:09:54Just help her.
01:09:56Some intimate touches can help her relax and feel better.
01:10:04Right here.
01:10:06Right here.
01:10:07Yes.
01:10:12Mom.
01:10:13I can't.
01:10:14Just whip it out.
01:10:17Hurry it up.
01:10:19What's up?
01:10:37What will you do?
01:10:42We've got one minute.
01:10:48I hope things are going smoothly in there.
01:10:50They've never been together before.
01:10:54Never been together?
01:10:56Then how could she be?
01:10:58The child is my late son's.
01:11:01Luca's brother.
01:11:05You okay?
01:11:07Doctor, please!
01:11:08Doctor, please!
01:11:16One, two, three, push.
01:11:18One, two, three, push.
01:11:22One, two, three, push.
01:11:23Push, push, push.
01:11:25One, two, three, push.
01:11:35Trey.
01:11:36Trey.
01:11:37You okay?
01:11:38You okay?
01:11:41Hey.
01:11:42Hi.
01:11:43How you feeling?
01:11:44Good.
01:11:45You want something to eat?
01:11:47Okay.
01:11:48Okay.
01:11:53I thought this hospital was the best that money can buy.
01:11:55I guess I was misinformed.
01:11:58Luca.
01:12:00They're doing the best they can.
01:12:02Let's not terrorize the staff.
01:12:06Luca.
01:12:07I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:11You want to tear me apart?
01:12:19Luca.
01:12:20Luca.
01:12:22Remember to control yourself, son.
01:12:25Let her recover first.
01:12:27Let her recover first.
01:12:32There you go.
01:12:34Yeah.
01:12:34Just like now.
01:12:35Hi.
01:12:37And have you decided what to name this little prince?
01:12:42Marco.
01:12:45Marco.
01:12:45I want to name him Marco.
01:13:09Look, little one.
01:13:12It's your daddy.
01:13:14It's your real daddy.
01:13:20It's remarkable how much he looks like you.
01:13:23Marco.
01:13:25I thought you had all the answers.
01:13:28And that you handle everything.
01:13:31And I promise to protect mom.
01:13:33You, the business, and your family.
01:13:41Our family.
01:13:45You know, Marco used to say that if you wanted to think about somebody, you would watch the dandelion.
01:13:52And then if the seeds blew out easily, then they were thinking of you, too.
01:13:57I hear you on the radio.
01:14:03On the radio.
01:14:22Miss, Mrs. Mancini's wedding gifts, the finest villas, the Mancini family jewelry, and finally, 30% ownership of Mancini Groups.
01:14:41This ring has been in the Mancini family for seven generations, passed from mother to daughter-in-law.
01:14:55Thank you, woman.
01:15:02A perfect fit.
01:15:15Now, I need the two of you to focus on your top priority.
01:15:22Um, top priority?
01:15:23Giving me a granddaughter.
01:15:25To play with little Marco, Jr.
01:15:30Mom, we're at a church.
01:15:32And you're a witness.
01:15:34Thanks.
