Short filmTranscript
00:00:10I should never have let you go undercover on that damn business deal.
00:00:15I 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, who are you?
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.
00:00:36Luca, 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 Eva Jackson and she was carrying his child.
00:01:09Get the car.
00:01:11Let me bring my daughter to a 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.
00:01:33The family 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?
00:02:24You'll never be a duck, Eva.
00:02:25You'll owe us for the day you die.
00:02:29Please.
00:02:31Sweetheart.
00:02:32Think of your brother.
00:02:37I'm going to stomp out that little bastard right now.
00:02:39Send 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?
00:03:09Eva, right?
00:03:11You were here this morning.
00:03:13Enough, Luca.
00:03:15She's hardly up there.
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.
00:03:35Marco was my oldest.
00:03:37He was my golden boy.
00:03:39I 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, and my men will make sure your other leg looks like your first one.
00:04:04Permanently.
00:04:06What are you doing?
00:04:07Hey, Derek, run!
00:04:09Maybe we should just go.
00:04:12One moment, dear.
00:04:14Anyone who raises a hand to my daughter-in-law deserves to have their fingers snapped.
00:04:21One by one.
00:04:25Come along, my dear.
00:04:28Let's get you home.
00:04:30To your real home.
00:04:34Come on.
00:04:36Come on.
00:04:38Come on.
00:04:39Come on.
00:04:40Come on.
00:04:41Come on.
00:04:53Welcome home, Signora Adria Mancini.
00:04:57This is where Marco lived.
00:05:00And now, it's your hand.
00:05:08Allow me to introduce you to your personal staff, Mrs. Mancini.
00:05:13Your nutritionist, nanny, maternity nurse, each 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 working multiple jobs are over, my dear.
00:05:28Ten million dollars 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.
00:05:40Practical and principled, my Marco truly had an eye for quality.
00:05:45There is one more member of the family that you need to properly meet.
00:05:50That would be Luca, Marco's younger brother.
00:05:54The brooding iceberg that you encountered this morning.
00:05:57Well, well, well.
00:05:59There's a flower girl in the cemetery.
00:06:02Luca, come meet Ava, your brother's wife.
00:06:06Please, show her proper.
00:06:11Respect!
00:06:13You walk back into a Mancini household?
00:06:17You're either incredibly stupid or incredibly brave.
00:06:22Luca!
00:06:23Open this door immediately!
00:06:27Everyone, around back, now!
00:06:31Who are you, really?
00:06:34I'll be watching your every move, your every breath.
00:06:39So 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.
00:06:53And now?
00:06:54I don't need this.
00:06:55I can walk right out those doors.
00:06:56You can't walk anywhere!
00:06:58She's not going anywhere!
00:07:03And get your hands off of her!
00:07:05She is carrying Marco's child.
00:07:08Oh, is she?
00:07:09How do we even know it is Marco's child?
00:07:11Convenient timing, wouldn't you say?
00:07:16Question me on you, Laura, but don't you dare question my child?
00:07:21That's my girl!
00:07:22Backbone of steel.
00:07:24Are you hurt?
00:07:27Luca, you are too rude!
00:07:29Ava 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.
00:07:41You may be fooling them, but I will find out about you, and I will expose you.
00:08:01These 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.
00:08:11It's all on Luca's card.
00:08:14Treat my dear daughter-in-law well.
00:08:37Try to be open and honest.
00:08:40This weight on my chest, I don't want it.
00:08:51Oh, isn't she gorgeous?
00:08:55Oh, isn't she gorgeous?
00:08:58She'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.
00:09:16Mom.
00:09:18Mom.
00:09:19Mom.
00:09:20Mom.
00:09:20That's too generous.
00:09:22Nonsense.
00:09:23We're family now.
00:09:25I am putting Luca's contact info into your phone.
00:09:30Reach out to him.
00:09:31Whatever you need.
00:09:32And don't worry.
00:09:34He's actually quite a softie.
00:09:37Now, shall we continue shopping?
00:09:39Yes.
00:09:44Sir.
00:09:45Yes?
00:09:45Your 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 our 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.
00:10:05I want everything on her.
00:10:08Everything!
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.
00:10:39Beautiful.
00:10:44But, no.
00:10:44Do you need to focus on getting better?
00:10:46Yes.
00:10:46And do your job.
00:10:49Yes.
00:10:52Yes.
00:10:53Yes.
00:11:05That's the thing.
00:11:07and then day and night for his funeral.
00:11:10Did I get her all wrong?
00:11:24Hello?
00:11:25Mother is unwell.
00:11:26You need to return home immediately.
00:11:30What's wrong with Mom?
00:11:33Is she hurt?
00:11:36Mom?
00:11:38What's going on?
00:11:45Ava, please don't be angry.
00:11:48We just had to get you here.
00:11:54What are you doing?
00:11:56Since you won't help us financially,
00:11:58we had to find another solution.
00:12:00Victor Fang.
00:12:01That old loan shark's willing to give us $80,000 just to marry you.
00:12:10Are you insane?
00:12:13I'm pregnant.
00:12:14Your husband's dead, Ava.
00:12:16Why keep his baby?
00:12:17Think about your family.
00:12:18Mr. Fang is waiting.
00:12:20Don't make this harder than it needs to be.
00:12:24You are not selling me off to Victor Fang!
00:12:29If she dies, how will you provide for this child?
00:12:35She's calling someone!
00:12:44Hello?
00:12:50Ava's in danger.
00:12:51We need to move.
00:12:52Go, go, go!
00:13:10Dad!
00:13:11You think someone's coming to save you?
00:13:18Who dares manhandle my future bride?
00:13:22Mr. Fang.
00:13:23Oh, it's such a pleasure.
00:13:24This is Ava, my sister, who we discussed.
00:13:28Ooh, two for the price of one, I see.
00:13:30Oh, it's just some dead guy's kid.
00:13:32If you want, I can take care of it right now.
00:13:35We can offer you a discount.
00:13:36And I think $60,000 is more than fair.
00:13:38Penny's for somebody of your wealth.
00:13:40Derek, you're sick!
00:13:42I'm your sister.
00:13:43This is your nephew.
00:13:44My son's future is more important to me
00:13:46than that stupid little bastard of yours!
00:13:49Hey, hey!
00:13:50No need to be so rough with such a beautiful lady.
00:13:54Now, dear.
00:13:56Just take this right here.
00:13:57And it'll make things easier for everybody.
00:14:01Oh, okay!
00:14:03You little feisty, I see.
00:14:06Maybe you just need a little personal attention.
00:14:32Oh, okay.
00:14:34Get out of my way!
00:14:35I always knew Ava was trouble.
00:14:37Her husband's barely cold,
00:14:38and she already has another thing.
00:14:41Who the hell do you think you are?
00:14:43Ah!
00:14:46I'm looking at Mancini.
00:14:48Mancini!
00:14:48You idiot!
00:14:50You killed me!
00:14:51How did my sister get caught up with the likes of you?
00:14:54Ava is my brother's widow.
00:14:55And her baby is his only child.
00:14:59So it's true?
00:15:00Her baby's the heir to the Mancini family?
00:15:04Looks like your wife is pregnant, too.
00:15:06Yes!
00:15:07Yes, it's true!
00:15:08I swear!
00:15:09We didn't know!
00:15:10Please!
00:15:10Please!
00:15:11You will be dealt with
00:15:13tenfully
00:15:14what you did to Ava.
00:15:18Get a doctor!
00:15:19Get a doctor!
00:15:20Get a car!
00:15:21And deal with him!
00:15:58Mom, hey.
00:16:01How's Ava?
00:16:02How's the baby?
00:16:03The doctors are examining her now.
00:16:09Doctor, how is she?
00:16:11Mrs. Mancini has a severe ankle fracture
00:16:13that it needs immediate surgery.
00:16:15The medication could cause a miscarriage.
00:16:18So we need to have consent before we can proceed.
00:16:22Do it!
00:16:23Whatever it takes!
00:16:24No!
00:16:27Doctor, is there any way to do the surgery without anesthesia?
00:16:31That's not medically advisable.
00:16:33The pain would be too excruciating.
00:16:37This baby is Marco's only child.
00:16:41His only heir.
00:16:42I can't risk losing it.
00:16:44I can handle the pain.
00:16:46Oh, my brave girl.
00:16:49God bless you.
00:16:51You know, I think somebody should be with her during the operation.
00:16:54The pain would be just too intense.
00:16:57I'll stay with her.
00:17:22How'd it go, doctor?
00:17:23It's a success.
00:17:26I guess you're a real trooper if you don't mind me saying.
00:17:29I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:17:51Senora Ava, please, let me help you.
00:17:58I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:18:04I know your stay at the hospital could not have been easy for you.
00:18:08That's why I'm having 30% of Mancini Group shares put into your name.
00:18:13No, Mom, I cannot accept that.
00:18:18We're family.
00:18:20It's what you deserve.
00:18:22Actually, I've been thinking about doing something else.
00:18:27I'd like to go back to work.
00:18:29Work?
00:18:30But, but, you're pregnant.
00:18:33Oh, honey, if you need money, I'll just transfer some into your account.
00:18:35No, no, it's not about money.
00:18:38Marco always said that we should make our own way.
00:18:43And I want our child to know his father and know what he valued.
00:18:51You are as stubborn as he was.
00:18:55Well, you're going to need protection.
00:18:58You'll accompany her.
00:19:02No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:19:04I can manage on my own.
00:19:08In the morning, 10 a.m., I'll be at the entrance.
00:19:20You know that I can talk to your manager for you, make sure that they accommodate every need.
00:19:25No need.
00:19:26I don't want any special treatments.
00:19:28But, thank you for that ride.
00:19:32You know, Ava, you do not need to be afraid of me.
00:19:36I can help you whenever you need.
00:19:57Why is she even back?
00:19:58A pregnant belly ruins a sore's aesthetic.
00:20:01These pregnant women know 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 to the warehouse?
00:20:11Make her move some stock around?
00:20:12And if something happens to her or the baby, you want that liability?
00:20:17We can't fire her, but we certainly can make her life difficult enough that she decides to quit on her
00:20:23own.
00:20:43And that concludes our quarterly revenue projections.
00:20:49Sir, forgive my directness, but are we here because you're concerned about your sister-in-law?
00:21:01Should I have the car brought around for your next meeting?
00:21:04Can I cancel the meeting?
00:21:09I've been meaning to talk to you.
00:21:11Given your, um, condition, I've been worried about potential liability issues.
00:21:17My pregnancy will not affect my performance.
00:21:20I do not intend to take advantage of company policy.
00:21:23Oh, I'm glad to hear that.
00:21:27Then you won't mind proving your commitment.
00:21:29Sell $1 million worth of merchandise by today.
00:21:33And I'll put all of my concerns to rest.
00:21:36I've seen your sales record.
00:21:38I know you can do it.
00:21:58I know you can do it.
00:22:19Sir, half an hour until closing, and Mrs. Mancini has already surpassed the store's average monthly sales in a single
00:22:26day.
00:22:27But she's still a great deal short of the manager's impossible target.
00:22:34She did make it clear that she doesn't want any special treatment.
00:22:38But I have been neglecting my own wardrobe.
00:22:41And the Rossi family event will require several new suits.
00:22:44Now that you mention it, sir, your formal collection is missing quite a few essential items.
00:22:49And I should do some personal shopping, shouldn't I?
00:22:57Sir, may I assist you?
00:22:59Sir, this limited edition silk tie would go perfect with your complexion.
00:23:03Sir, I'd be happy to take your measurements, personally.
00:23:07Sir, as store manager, I would be honored to assist you with your needs myself.
00:23:14I'd actually like Miss Jackson to assist me.
00:23:16I hear her taste in men's fashion is exceptional.
00:23:23Shall we begin?
00:23:25Right this way, sir.
00:23:32I just needed to take your measurements.
00:23:35Whoa, what are you doing?
00:23:38The measurement bucket?
00:23:40I just needed you to take the jacket off.
00:23:43Well, we don't have much time.
00:23:49Is this interesting?
00:23:51I...
00:23:58Now, measure me like this.
00:24:04Okay.
00:24:05Mm-hmm.
00:24:07Mm-hmm.
00:24:27Ava, time is almost up.
00:24:47I did it.
00:24:48I saved my job, and I made a new sales record.
00:24:54It's no reason to thank me.
00:24:56I'm here to help.
00:24:57Whenever you need it.
00:25:00I hate to do this, but...
00:25:02Ava Jackson.
00:25:04You're fired.
00:25:07Why?
00:25:09No.
00:25:10I met your target, and then some.
00:25:12Oh.
00:25:13That last sale?
00:25:15The one that put you over the top?
00:25:16That was actually mine.
00:25:18You're trying to steal my commission?
00:25:20Well, that won't work, because everyone in this store saw me make that sale.
00:25:29I get it.
00:25:31You threaten them into silence.
00:25:32Well, that won't work either, because the security cameras caught everything.
00:25:38Security cameras?
00:25:46What a horrible timing.
00:25:49Unfortunately, the security cameras are down for maintenance today.
00:25:52But fortunately, everyone here saw you destroy thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
00:25:59You all saw Ava, didn't you?
00:26:01Yeah, we all saw it.
00:26:04So someone should call security.
00:26:06Better yet, call the police.
00:26:16I'm sorry, sir, but we're closed for the day.
00:26:19I heard that this store got trashed.
00:26:20I'm going to have to ask you to leave, or I'm going to have to call the police.
00:26:23The police work for me.
00:26:25Are you?
00:26:27Luca Mancini?
00:26:34I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
00:27:21Please stop, I admit it, I was wrong.
00:27:25Who really damaged the merchandise in the store?
00:27:26The items that you destroyed are worth over several millions of dollars.
00:27:30That's five years in prison.
00:27:36Rico, what happened?
00:27:37There's nothing worth talking about.
00:27:38We need to go.
00:27:39And by the way, you're fired.
00:27:41Let's go.
00:27:42Mom cooked this room.
00:27:47How dare that woman mess with my family?
00:27:53I will make sure, personally, that she suffers for it.
00:27:57You don't have to worry about that anymore.
00:27:59It's all taken care of, thanks to Luca.
00:28:02This door looked like a tornado hit it.
00:28:04Man who will be serving time in a jail cell.
00:28:07Justice is served.
00:28:09That's my boy.
00:28:13Sweetheart, I would like you to concentrate full-time on your pregnancy right now.
00:28:18All of this work drama can wait until after my grandchild is born safely.
00:28:23Yes, Mommy.
00:28:25I transferred $5 million into your personal account for prenatal care.
00:28:30I am worried about the baby's well-being.
00:28:34Luca, I'd like you to take her to the doctor tomorrow for an exam.
00:28:38No, that's really not necessary.
00:28:44I have those meetings in Europe, so possibly I could have some nice substituting.
00:28:49Yeah, and I'm perfectly capable of going by myself.
00:28:53I don't want to travel, Luca, with something so routine.
00:28:58It's decided.
00:29:00Cancel whatever meetings you have.
00:29:02I want you to take her.
00:29:04I will not stand for any more incidents.
00:29:07Yes, Mother.
00:29:22Ava Jackson, we're ready for you now.
00:29:25Dad should come too.
00:29:26We encourage partner participation.
00:29:29Oh, no, he's not.
00:29:34Would you prefer that I explain that I'm your dead husband's brother?
00:29:38That might be a bit awkward.
00:29:39Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, please come in when you're ready.
00:29:42Coming.
00:29:49If you could lift your top up slightly and lower your skirt band just a bit, we'll get started.
00:30:02First prenatal checkup together, I'm guessing.
00:30:10The baby looks perfectly healthy.
00:30:13Current length is about three inches with a strong heart rate.
00:30:18Is the baby moving?
00:30:20Yes, indeed.
00:30:22Look there.
00:30:23The little one's making faces.
00:30:27Quite the expressive child already.
00:30:33Dad, don't you want to come take a look?
00:30:42The baby's at 18 weeks, now developing beautifully.
00:30:48For home care, I recommend plenty of rest, nutrient-rich foods, and tactile bonding when possible.
00:30:57Tactile bonding?
00:30:58Yes, it's quite beneficial for fetal development.
00:31:03Come over here and place your hands on her belly.
00:31:06Doctor, is that really appropriate?
00:31:09What's inappropriate about it?
00:31:11This is what husbands do.
00:31:16Okay.
00:31:29I'm sorry, Dad.
00:31:31Did I hurt you?
00:31:32No, no.
00:31:32It just feels strange.
00:31:36Like this.
00:31:37Mm-hmm.
00:31:38Top to bottom, left to right.
00:31:41Gentle strokes.
00:31:45Got it?
00:31:47Got it.
00:31:48Do this once daily, five to ten minutes each.
00:31:54You can sit up now.
00:32:01Huh.
00:32:02So, everything good with the baby?
00:32:04Any special instructions I should know about?
00:32:08Nothing.
00:32:09Nothing, no.
00:32:09The doctor did say that the baby is developing beautifully, and there's nothing to worry about.
00:32:16Good news, then.
00:32:19Before I forget, the Rossi family's daughter is having her birthday celebration next weekend, and we should all attend.
00:32:28The Rossi family?
00:32:30Technically, they're our business rivals, but social niceties must be maintained.
00:32:37And she has had an embarrassing crush on Luca since they were little children.
00:32:42Mom, please.
00:32:44Miss Sophia Rossi has arrived unannounced.
00:32:48She shows up without calling?
00:32:51How gauche.
00:32:52Should we send Eva upstairs?
00:32:54No, no, it's fine.
00:32:55I'm here.
00:32:55We can just...
00:32:59Good evening, Mrs. Mancini.
00:33:01Luca, I came to personally deliver my birthday invitation.
00:33:05Okay.
00:33:09Luca, who is this woman?
00:33:11Luca, who is this woman?
00:33:13Hey, hey, hey.
00:33:14Rossi's family lack of manners never disappoints me.
00:33:18Luca Mancini, how dare you speak to me like that?
00:33:21Miss Rossi, right?
00:33:22I've heard so much about your family.
00:33:26I'm Eva, Marco's wife.
00:33:29Marco was Luca's brother.
00:33:34Oh, okay.
00:33:35I thought you were carrying Luca's baby.
00:33:38That's good, because I'm nice.
00:33:40I came all this way to bring you that, and this is how you welcome me?
00:33:44Don't disappoint me at the party, darling.
00:33:46Wear something sharp.
00:33:50Yes.
00:34:00See if there's any connection between that pregnant woman and Luca.
00:34:03I'm not buying this whole sister-in-law act for one second.
00:34:06You got it.
00:34:12You look so handsome.
00:34:16Well, well, well.
00:34:18It looks like my stubborn son has good taste after all.
00:34:22Luca did an excellent job selecting this gown.
00:34:25It is perfect for you.
00:34:27Luca picked this?
00:34:31I've never been anywhere this fancy before.
00:34:34I might embarrass you guys.
00:34:37Oh, don't even worry about it.
00:34:40You are my pride and joy.
00:34:43Besides, Luca will be with us the whole time,
00:34:45and he'll make sure everything runs smoothly.
00:34:51Luca?
00:34:52What about her shoes?
00:34:53How could you forget something so basic?
00:35:08What about her shoes?
00:35:23Right there.
00:35:28No problem.
00:35:30I just don't want you to fall.
00:35:32I don't want you to fall.
00:35:46Who's that with Mr. Mancini?
00:35:48She's clearly pregnant.
00:35:50Do you think that's Mr. Mancini's baby?
00:35:52I had no idea he was going to marry.
00:35:54Must be his mistress.
00:35:56Oh, shameless.
00:35:56Everyone, I would like to introduce Ava Mancini,
00:36:01my eldest son Marco's wife.
00:36:03Marco's wife?
00:36:05She's stunning.
00:36:09This is my birthday party.
00:36:11I'm supposed to be the center of attention,
00:36:13not some pregnant woman.
00:36:16Well, maybe we shouldn't cause a scene here.
00:36:19It's mine.
00:36:20She's almost like this.
00:36:23We didn't mean to steal your spotlight.
00:36:26An apology simply isn't enough.
00:36:29Since you're Luca's sister-in-law,
00:36:31why don't you entertain us all
00:36:32with a performance of some kind?
00:36:36Look, she used to deliver food for a living.
00:36:38Waitress, retail clerk, cleaning lady?
00:36:41What could someone with her background
00:36:42possibly perform for this crowd?
00:36:55Hey, Bo, how does this piece go again?
00:36:58I'm completely lost here.
00:37:00I've forgotten everything that you've taught me.
00:37:02There's no way she could actually play.
00:37:04She's just a nobody from nowhere.
00:37:07He has to be setting her own.
00:37:08Even Miss Mancini is smiling,
00:37:11just waiting for her to crash and burn.
00:37:32I was just playing for the baby.
00:37:34I think he recognized the music
00:37:37you were playing for us earlier.
00:37:39Well, maybe you should teach me sometime properly.
00:37:44I'd like to play for you both.
00:37:48Because Mom did tell me to look after you,
00:37:51so it's the least that I can do.
00:37:54One, two, three, and there.
00:39:08That drink is almost certainly drugged.
00:39:10Obviously.
00:39:11Is the Rossi family making a move against us?
00:39:14These tensions have been simmering for years.
00:39:16Should we respond preemptively?
00:39:22Do nothing.
00:39:23You just need to focus on protecting Ava.
00:39:27We'll see what they have planned.
00:39:35Darling, you look tired.
00:39:37I don't think all this excitement is good for your condition.
00:39:40Why don't you try to find Luca and let's get you home.
00:40:07Sophia's bedroom.
00:40:10Why is Luca's phone in there?
00:40:12And why am I jealous?
00:40:30I've wanted Luca for years.
00:40:32And then you waltz in and get his attention in weeks?
00:40:39You won't look so innocent when everyone sees you in bed next to your dead husband's brother.
00:40:44This isn't exactly how you want it.
00:40:47Not at all.
00:40:48This isn't convincing.
00:40:49Unbutton their clothes.
00:40:57Sal, position them closer together.
00:40:59Make it look more intimate.
00:41:06Perfect.
00:41:07Let's go.
00:41:08Our masterpiece is complete.
00:41:09Now we just have to bring in an audience.
00:41:21I expected much more than this is a juvenile prank from my business partner.
00:41:36Ava, wake up.
00:41:39Ava.
00:41:40Ava.
00:41:41Ava.
00:41:50Luca.
00:41:53Oh, my God.
00:41:56What happened to us?
00:42:02This is bad.
00:42:13If anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:42:20Luca, wake up.
00:42:34People are coming.
00:42:35You're acting like we had some tort affair.
00:42:37We didn't do anything wrong, so why are you worrying?
00:42:40I'm your late brother's widow and I'm carrying his child.
00:42:43If anyone sees us like this, the Mancini family name will be destroyed.
00:42:47Okay.
00:42:49Okay.
00:42:50Okay.
00:42:51Okay.
00:42:51Okay.
00:42:51So, Mancini name is what you're concerned about.
00:42:53Is that it?
00:42:55Hey, hey, hey.
00:42:56You haven't answered.
00:42:57Okay.
00:42:57Okay.
00:43:01I'm sorry.
00:43:01Thank you all so much for coming today to celebrate me, but I do have some rather important information
00:43:08to share with you all.
00:43:09I have just discovered Luca Mancini in a rather compromising position with his
00:43:17brother's pregnant widow. In my bedroom!
00:43:29Can you let go?
00:43:34They're coming. Here I got the sweatshop.
00:43:40Wait, stop! Watch, they're right there! If we walk through that door, we'll walk right into their trap.
00:43:45Okay, then what's your brilliant idea? Yes ma'am?
00:43:50Um, let's go through the window. We can climb down.
00:43:52Whoa, whoa, whoa, no. I'm afraid of heights.
00:43:55Your what? Sorry, I just didn't realize the great Luca Mancini, you've had fears like the rest of us.
00:44:03Yeah, you know, that's one of my fears and I don't advertise it, so deal with it.
00:44:09What else do you?
00:44:11Let's go see, where are these cheaters you promised to expose?
00:44:15Shh, keep it down, you idiot. You don't want to wake them.
00:44:18I mean, we don't want to alert them to give them the chance to escape.
00:44:23They're coming, let's go, let's go.
00:44:26Okay.
00:44:27Hurry, hurry.
00:44:32No, no, no, no, don't run! We have to catch them in the act first!
00:44:35Are you insane? Your house is on fire!
00:44:37Who cares about the gossip? Let's get out of here.
00:44:40No, no, no, no, no! I'll help everyone leave afterwards, but first let's get a look at them, come on!
00:45:07What the hell do you think you're doing? I am so sorry, it was an accident, please.
00:45:11It's fine, it's fine.
00:45:13Okay?
00:45:14Yeah.
00:45:16The staff prepared everything for you and there's hot water in there.
00:45:23And what about you?
00:45:25We'll just be out here, taking guard for you. Now go on, it's warm.
00:45:30You're welcome.
00:45:32Thanks.
00:45:35You're welcome.
00:45:45You're welcome.
00:46:04We'll be here, Father.
00:46:05We'll be going.
00:46:05What is it?
00:46:07Uh, Miss Rossi is demanding to see you, sir.
00:46:09She's quite insistent.
00:46:11Okay, let it run.
00:46:16You set off the fire alarms and completely scared away my guests.
00:46:20You ruined my birthday celebration.
00:46:32Hey!
00:46:32Hey, you will take full responsibility for what you did.
00:46:36The drugging, the setup, all of it.
00:46:39And if you ever threaten Ava again, directly or indirectly,
00:46:43I will end the Rossi family from this city permanently.
00:46:48You're a monster.
00:46:49That's her in there, isn't it?
00:46:51Ava?
00:46:51Your dead brother's wife?
00:46:53How dare you?
00:46:56Get your hands off of me!
00:46:57Do you know who I am?
00:47:04Ava!
00:47:05Oh.
00:47:14Ava?
00:47:24Ava?
00:47:25Luca, it's me. Wake up.
00:47:28Ava, you're so close.
00:47:29Is this a dream?
00:47:38Luca, I'm your brother's wife.
00:47:40So this isn't a dream.
00:47:45Ava, I've had feelings for you for so long.
00:47:49And I've tried to keep them a secret, but I can't keep them any longer.
00:47:54And now you know my two secrets, and by family code, I have to silence the person who discovers my
00:48:03weaknesses.
00:48:05Luca, let me go.
00:48:06No, no, no, but I can't silence you because, Ava, I have fallen in love with you.
00:48:12Oh, God, that's not funny.
00:48:15Look, I've never been more serious.
00:48:19Look, Ava, every time I come around you, I feel myself slipping.
00:48:26And my feelings have crossed that line months ago.
00:48:31Stop, stop, just stop.
00:48:34I'll forget this ever happened.
00:48:35No, Ava.
00:48:37I want to take care of you.
00:48:40And the baby.
00:48:41For the rest of my life.
00:48:58Luca, what's going on?
00:48:59Why isn't Ava home?
00:49:03What's going on here?
00:49:04Mom, I...
00:49:05Nothing.
00:49:07My clothes were dirty, so Luca prepared for me a shower and clean clothes.
00:49:12Oh, thank goodness.
00:49:14The last thing we need is for you to catch pneumonia.
00:49:17Yeah, I know.
00:49:19Ava, I think that we should probably...
00:49:21Luca, it's almost Marco's birthday.
00:49:27Let's visit his grave.
00:49:30He's your brother and my husband.
00:49:33And we don't want to betray his memory.
00:49:36Oh, you poor thing.
00:49:38You must be utterly exhausted.
00:49:40Let's get you home.
00:49:42These Rossis are nothing but trouble.
00:49:44We need to accelerate our plans against them.
00:49:47Changing hearts.
00:49:51Changing hearts.
00:49:57Marco.
00:50:00I miss you.
00:50:05I feel so lost without you.
00:50:11Would you hate me
00:50:14if you knew I had feelings for your brother?
00:50:20Ava, are you in there?
00:50:31I meant everything that I said today.
00:50:35And I want to help you get through this,
00:50:37and I want to protect you.
00:50:40Marco and Mom,
00:50:42they would both understand.
00:50:44And...
00:50:45Ava, I love you.
00:51:01I understand how difficult this is.
00:51:05Your loyalty for Marco
00:51:07and your concern for my mother,
00:51:09that is the compassion that...
00:51:11That's the reason I fell in love with you.
00:51:16There's $30 million on this credit card.
00:51:20And the pin number is your birthday.
00:51:22Been through eps and flows.
00:51:24Our lives goodbye held like the end.
00:51:27Can't deny, I can't pretend.
00:51:30That this fire burns again.
00:51:34Illuminated rain.
00:51:36I feel alive.
00:51:39One more time, our worlds collide.
00:51:42Watch them circling in the sky.
00:51:45We are magnetic sides.
00:51:48I'm falling for you.
00:51:50Wait for me.
00:51:51No one loves me like you do.
00:51:54Thought that you and I were through.
00:52:03The baby's development is right on track.
00:52:06Perfect, actually.
00:52:09Has your husband been doing those tactile bonding exercises I showed you?
00:52:14Doctor.
00:52:15Uh, actually, he's not exactly my...
00:52:18Okay, no need to be embarrassed.
00:52:20The way that man looks at you is something special.
00:52:27Now, face each other.
00:52:30Helena, take her hands.
00:52:32Deep inhale.
00:52:34And lean into each other.
00:52:37Using each other's weight to support you.
00:52:41Come up.
00:52:47On the exhale, do a gentle squat.
00:52:52And then share and embrace.
00:52:59You're finally home.
00:53:05Who exactly are you welcoming home, dear daughter-in-law?
00:53:10I was just talking nonsense.
00:53:28Miss, flowers from Mr. Mancini.
00:54:04Jovei.
00:54:05I wonder if he's doing well out there.
00:54:22Hello?
00:54:23Ava?
00:54:23I'm outside at the gate.
00:54:26Security won't let me in.
00:54:32Mom, what are you doing here?
00:54:34I've missed you terribly, sweetheart.
00:54:36I just wanted to check on you and the baby.
00:54:43Look, fresh oranges.
00:54:45Just pick today.
00:54:47You need the vitamin C for the baby's development.
00:54:50I'm on a very carefully monitored diet.
00:54:53You wasted a trip.
00:54:58Look, I know that you haven't forgiven me, but you have to understand.
00:55:04Derek and Sarah, I mean, they would have thrown me out on the street if I didn't go along with
00:55:09them.
00:55:10I mean, what choice did I have?
00:55:13That's not rehash the past.
00:55:15Of course.
00:55:17I picked these up for my grandchild.
00:55:20Aren't they precious?
00:55:23That baby that you're carrying is my family, too.
00:55:27I love them so much already.
00:55:30Look, I stood up for you to Derek, and he threw me out.
00:55:35I got absolutely nothing left.
00:55:46This card contains all the money I've saved.
00:55:49It's yours.
00:55:51But you have to promise me that you'll use it for yourself.
00:55:53Not a penny goes to Derek.
00:55:55Okay.
00:55:56I swear it.
00:55:57Not a cent to him.
00:55:59How much money are we talking about?
00:56:01$10,000.
00:56:04$10,000?
00:56:06That's it.
00:56:08You're carrying the Mancini air, and all they've given you is $10,000.
00:56:13That is my personal savings.
00:56:15I haven't asked the Mancinis for a cent.
00:56:18Okay, this is completely unacceptable.
00:56:22Everyone in this city knows that the Mancini's are loaded beyond belief.
00:56:27Come on.
00:56:28You need to milk this situation for all it's worth.
00:56:37Honey, I'm...
00:56:40I'm only thinking about your future and your security.
00:56:43I mean, what happens if they throw you out once the baby arrives?
00:56:48I didn't marry into the Mancini family for their fortune.
00:56:52And you mention their money one more time, you'll never see me again.
00:56:57Understand?
00:56:58I understand, sweetheart.
00:57:00Mom won't say another word about it.
00:57:07$10,000?
00:57:09That's it?
00:57:10That's pocket change for them!
00:57:12She must be holding down this.
00:57:16That ungrateful little brat!
00:57:18I tried everything!
00:57:20I couldn't squeeze another penny out of her.
00:57:22She's swimming in Mancini money, and we're here struggling.
00:57:26After what they did to my leg, I should be getting millions!
00:57:29Yes!
00:57:30A few million?
00:57:31It's just the beginning.
00:57:33We've been thinking too small.
00:57:46I have good reason to believe that we have a common enemy.
00:57:49I think we should work together.
00:57:55Miss Mancini has been sleeping well, sir.
00:57:58She got the prenatal vitamins you sent her, and they effectively reduced her morning sickness.
00:58:03And this morning, she ate half a slice of French toast, a half portion of scrambled eggs,
00:58:09two cherry tomatoes, and a glass of milk.
00:58:11And after some gentle persuasion from your mother, she also had a piece of steak for the iron content.
00:58:17Oh.
00:58:18It's good to hear that she's eating healthy.
00:58:20And then she finally attended the prenatal concert we arranged,
00:58:23and afterwards, she spoke with one of the pianists about the compositions.
00:58:28Is it man or woman?
00:58:29Sir, per your instructions, they were all talented women.
00:58:32No exceptions.
00:58:34And she actually mentioned you today.
00:58:36While making hot chocolate, she said to the chef,
00:58:39It's never quite as good as Lucas.
00:58:42She always knows what to say.
00:58:45I'll make her a batch right now, and we can have it delivered.
00:58:48Great.
00:58:49I'll arrange your private courier right away.
00:58:56Luca is almost finished with his business.
00:58:59Hopefully, he will make it home in time for the birth.
00:59:04Mrs. Mancini, it's terrible news.
00:59:06Lucas' jet has been destroyed.
00:59:07He made a flight.
00:59:08He...
00:59:08He's missing.
00:59:09What?
00:59:11I want every detail immediately.
00:59:12Yes, ma'am.
00:59:15Eva, breathe.
00:59:16Breathe.
00:59:17Don't panic.
00:59:18Don't panic.
00:59:19Luca has always been lucky.
00:59:20He's going to be fine.
00:59:22He will.
00:59:27Hello?
00:59:28I have Luca Mancini.
00:59:3020 million dollars cash for his safe return.
00:59:33No police, no family, no security team.
00:59:37You come alone, or he dies.
00:59:39You have 24 hours.
00:59:45Oh, Ava, are you okay?
00:59:48Who was that?
00:59:49It's nothing, nothing.
00:59:50I'm just dizzy.
00:59:53The baby.
00:59:54So I'm going to go upstairs and lie down.
00:59:56Oh, my God.
01:00:00Okay.
01:00:15Money first.
01:00:21Okay.
01:00:22Okay.
01:00:26Ow!
01:00:30You okay?
01:00:34Derek, where's Luka?
01:00:37Where's Luka?
01:00:38Don't worry though, Luka.
01:00:40Worry about yourself.
01:00:52Oh my gosh.
01:00:59Yeah, with her as our bargaining chip,
01:01:02we can demand a hundred million dollars
01:01:05from the man jeans.
01:01:08Easy.
01:01:09Mom, Mom, why are you doing this?
01:01:12Poor family, why have you always treated me so badly?
01:01:20Family, you are so pathetic.
01:01:25You just don't get it, do you?
01:01:27You're just some brat that Mom found on the street
01:01:29that she brought home to be our living servant.
01:01:32What are you talking about?
01:01:33You're an orphan!
01:01:36Not even your birth mother wanted you.
01:01:39Yeah, we brought you in.
01:01:41We fed you, we clothed you,
01:01:44and in return, your life belongs to us.
01:01:49Oh, and by the way,
01:01:51since we're being honest with each other right now,
01:01:53my whole leg injury, it's kind of my fault.
01:01:57But it was a great excuse to get you
01:02:00to basically give up your life
01:02:01and be our slave all these years.
01:02:08You know what?
01:02:11Even though you're nothing but a bunch of orphan trash,
01:02:16you're actually very beautiful.
01:02:18So since we're giving up this whole
01:02:20brother-sister role-play thing,
01:02:25I don't want to do something
01:02:27that I've wanted to do
01:02:29for a very, very long time.
01:02:39Now let's just keep that pretty little mouth
01:02:42of yours quiet, shall we?
01:02:49You fucking bitch.
01:03:13You're alive.
01:03:14You're okay.
01:03:23My plane blew up, Ava gets kidnapped, this isn't a coincidence, who are you looking for?
01:03:29Answer me!
01:03:34Hey, make them stop! He's your brother! They'll kill him!
01:03:39You just told me I'm an orphan, so he's not really my little brother.
01:03:42You better tell me who your accomplices are, or he stops breathing.
01:03:46You two should be ashamed of yourselves.
01:03:49Yeah, I see the way that you look at each other. He's your dead husband's brother.
01:03:54You're a betrayer, Marco, and his mother.
01:04:00Are you alright? Hey, hey, hey, you okay?
01:04:04Your mom has been so kind to me, and I dragged her into this mess.
01:04:08It's on my floor.
01:04:11Your mother-in-law took you in.
01:04:13She treated you like a daughter.
01:04:15She gave you everything that you could ever want, and this is how you repay her?
01:04:18By falling for her younger son?
01:04:21Have you already forgotten Marco? It is great!
01:04:25What is wrong with you?
01:04:29I want her as my daughter-in-law.
01:04:32First my eldest son's wife, and now my youngest.
01:04:38Object to them, and you'll lose your tongue.
01:04:52You couldn't have Luca, so you decided to try and kill him?
01:04:58Good thing he changed his flight plan at the last minute, hmm?
01:05:03Cross the Mancini's, and you cease to exist.
01:05:07You must release me.
01:05:09My father will burn your empire to the ground.
01:05:14Don't you wonder why my son was gone all that time?
01:05:20Your family's power is already gone.
01:05:37You two have risked everything to be together.
01:05:41Father, I can see that Luca's devotion is absolute.
01:05:49You have endured far too much pain.
01:05:53It's time to let him take care of you.
01:05:56But, Marco, I made a promise.
01:06:00And Marco would want your happiness above all else.
01:06:07He will rest easier, knowing that we are protecting you and your child.
01:06:18From this moment forward, I swear to you nobody will ever hurt my family.
01:06:27Luca, you're bleeding.
01:06:32You gotta keep this clean.
01:06:34Yeah.
01:06:35Infections can get nasty.
01:06:38Okay.
01:06:40So you're saying that you care about me, then?
01:06:43Shut up.
01:06:45Of course I care.
01:06:50All right.
01:06:52Wait.
01:06:53Wait.
01:06:54Wait.
01:07:18I think he likes you.
01:07:20Yeah?
01:07:25Ava.
01:07:26I will take care of you.
01:07:29And the baby.
01:07:30Just like my brother would have.
01:07:32I brought some fruit for you and the...
01:07:36Luca.
01:07:38She's pregnant.
01:07:40Be gentle with her.
01:07:42Yeah.
01:07:45I think maybe you should get some less.
01:07:47Okay.
01:07:52Oh, wait.
01:07:55What is it?
01:07:56I think I'm in labor.
01:08:07What is taking so long?
01:08:09Is something wrong?
01:08:10She's gone into labor early.
01:08:12Have you two been intimate recently?
01:08:14Well, we didn't exactly.
01:08:17I mean, not completely.
01:08:19I warned you to be careful with her.
01:08:21I'm sorry.
01:08:22What can we do now?
01:08:23The medication isn't working as we'd hoped.
01:08:26There's another approach we could try.
01:08:29Yes.
01:08:30Yes, we'll do anything.
01:08:31Money's no object.
01:08:31Just help her.
01:08:32Some intimate touches can help her relax and feel better.
01:08:40Right here.
01:08:43Right here.
01:08:44Yes.
01:08:48Mom, I can't just whip it out and...
01:08:52Hurry it up.
01:09:03I can't just whip it out.
01:09:25I hope things are going smoothly in there.
01:09:27They've never been together before.
01:09:31Never been together?
01:09:33Then how could she be...
01:09:35The child is my late son's.
01:09:38Luca's brother.
01:09:42You okay?
01:09:44Doctor, please!
01:09:46Doctor, please!
01:09:53One, two, three, push.
01:09:56One, two, three, push.
01:09:59One, two, three, push.
01:10:00Push, push, push!
01:10:18Hey.
01:10:19Hi.
01:10:20How you feeling?
01:10:21Good.
01:10:22Want something to eat?
01:10:24I'm okay.
01:10:30I thought this hospital was the best that money can buy.
01:10:32I guess I was misinformed.
01:10:35Luca.
01:10:37They're doing the best they can.
01:10:39That's not terrorizing the staff.
01:10:43You're welcome.
01:10:44I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:10:47You would tear me apart.
01:10:56Luca.
01:10:57Luca.
01:10:59Remember to control yourself, son.
01:11:02Let her recover first.
01:11:14And have you decided what to name this little prince?
01:11:18It's Marco.
01:11:21Marco.
01:11:22I want to name it Marco.
01:11:44I know it's hard.
01:11:46Look, little one.
01:11:48It's your daddy.
01:11:51Your real daddy.
01:11:57It's remarkable how much he looks like.
01:12:00Marco.
01:12:02I thought you had all the answers.
01:12:05And that you'd handle everything.
01:12:08And I promise to protect mom.
01:12:12The business.
01:12:14And your family.
01:12:15And your family.
01:12:18Our family.
01:12:22You know Marco used to say.
01:12:24That.
01:12:25If you wanted to think about somebody.
01:12:27You would.
01:12:28Watch the dandelion.
01:12:29And if the seeds blew out easily.
01:12:31Then they were thinking of you too.
01:12:32I hear you on the radio.
01:12:39On the radio.
01:12:52On the radio.
01:12:57Hi.
01:12:57I know.
01:12:58This is a wedding.
01:13:03Oh.
01:13:06I don't know what you would like to say.
01:13:12If this is a wedding.
01:13:20I don't know what you would think.
01:13:21I don't know what you mean.
01:13:23But I don't know what you would like to ask for it.
01:13:26It's a daughter-in-law.
01:13:32Thank you, Mona.
01:13:39A perfect fit.
01:13:53Now, I need the two of you to focus on your top priority.
01:13:58Um, top priority?
01:14:00Giving me a granddaughter to play with little Marco Jr.
01:14:06Mom, we're at a church, and there are witnesses.
