Short filmTranscript
00:00:09I should never have let you go undercover on that damn business deal.
00:00:14I never even got to say goodbye.
00:00:16Marco, my brother, I will protect your legacy and I will protect our family.
00:00:28Hey, hey!
00:00:30Who are you?
00:00:31Which family do you work for?
00:00:32I just came to drop off the flowers.
00:00:34I didn't mean to.
00:00:36Luca, look at her.
00:00:38She's hardly a threat.
00:00:45For the flowers and for the interruption, my apologies.
00:01:01Signora Mancini, Master Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson and she was carrying his child.
00:01:08Get the car.
00:01:10I will bring my daughter-in-law home where she belongs.
00:01:21Don't worry, little one.
00:01:23We'll get through this together somehow.
00:01:29Well, looky here.
00:01:32Family Jinx is finally six feet under.
00:01:43Derek!
00:01:44Have you lost your mind?
00:01:45What 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.
00:01:54This 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.
00:02:06Give me one good reason why I should get rid of this baby.
00:02:13Because you owe me.
00:02:15This is your fault.
00:02:18I dropped out of college for this family.
00:02:21I took five jobs.
00:02:22What more could you possibly want?
00:02:23I'll never be a dog, Ava.
00:02:25You'll owe us to the day you die.
00:02:30Please, sweetheart.
00:02:31Think of your brother.
00:02:36I'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.
00:02:44Hex!
00:02:46Hex!
00:03:05What the hell is going on here?
00:03:07Who the hell are you people?
00:03:09Ava, right?
00:03:11You were here this morning.
00:03:13Enough, Luca.
00:03:15She's hardly up here.
00:03:19Ma'am?
00:03:20I'm Helena Mancini, Markov's mother.
00:03:26That means I'm your baby's grandmother.
00:03:30The most powerful mafia family in the country.
00:03:34Oh.
00:03:35Markov 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?
00:03:52Mancini?
00:03:53Seriously, like, is anybody here actually buying this?
00:03:56Question my identity again.
00:03:58And my men will make sure your other leg looks like your first one.
00:04:04Permanently.
00:04:05What are you doing?
00:04:07Derek, run!
00:04:08Maybe we should just go.
00:04:11One moment, dear.
00:04:13Anyone who raises a hand to my daughter-in-law
00:04:16deserves to have their fingers snapped.
00:04:21One by one.
00:04:25Come along, my dear.
00:04:27Let's get you home.
00:04:29To your real home.
00:04:33Oh, my God.
00:04:35Oh, my God.
00:04:37Oh, my God.
00:04:53Welcome home, Signora Eva Mancini.
00:04:56This is where Marko lived.
00:05:00And now, it's your hand, too.
00:05:08Allow me to introduce you to your personal staff, Mrs. Mancini.
00:05:12Your nutritionist, nanny, maternity nurse.
00:05:15Each of the finest specialists money can acquire.
00:05:17We pledge your absolute dedication to your health and well-being, Signora.
00:05:23Your days of walking 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.
00:05:45There is one more member of the family that you need to properly meet.
00:05:50That would be Luca, Marco's younger brother.
00:05:53The brooding iceberg that you encountered this morning.
00:05:56Well, well, well.
00:05:59There's a flower girl in the cemetery.
00:06:02Luca, come meet Eva, your brother's wife.
00:06:06Please, show her proper...
00:06:11Respect!
00:06:13You walk back into a Mancini household?
00:06:16You'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?
00:06:34I'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?
00:06:49Our 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?
00:07:17Questioning on you, Luca, don't you dare.
00:07:18Question, 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.
00:07:29Ava 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 school.
00:07:42You may be fooling them,
00:07:44and I will find out about you
00:07:45and 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, I don't want it.
00:08:44I'd hate to be breaking, I promise
00:08:48Cause I owe you the truth that I need
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.
00:09:09Oh yes, this is just perfect.
00:09:12We will take one of everything
00:09:14in her size.
00:09:16Mom.
00:09:19Mom, that's too generous.
00:09:22Nonsense, we're family now.
00:09:25I am putting Luca's contact info into your phone.
00:09:30Reach out to him, whatever you need.
00:09:33And don't worry, he'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 dollars on Miss Jackson in the last week alone.
00:09:52Oh God.
00:09:53In mere days, she has swooned the dollar 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!
00:10:10If 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.
00:10:43Michael, 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, and when your brother got sick, she worked to pay off his
00:11:07medical bills, and 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.
00:11:31What's wrong with mom?
00:11:32Is...
00:11:33Is she hurt?
00:11:37Mom?
00:11:39What's going on?
00:11:41What's going on?
00:11:46Ava, 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, Ava.
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?
00:12:51Ava's in danger.
00:12:52We need to move.
00:12:52Go, go, go!
00:13:12You think someone's coming to save you?
00:13:15God!
00:13:19Who dares manhandle my future bride?
00:13:22Mr. Fang?
00:13:23Oh, it's such a pleasure.
00:13:25This is Ava, my sister, who we discussed.
00:13:28Ooh, two for the price of one, I see.
00:13:31Oh, it's just...
00:13:32It'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.
00:13:37I 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
00:13:47than that stupid little bastard of yours!
00:13:49Hey, hey!
00:13:50No need to be so rough with such a beautiful lady.
00:13:55Now, dear, just take this right here
00:13:58and it'll make things easier for everybody.
00:14:00Oh, okay!
00:14:04You're a little feisty, I see.
00:14:07Maybe you just need a little personal attention.
00:14:10No!
00:14:20No!
00:14:25No!
00:14:29No, no!
00:14:31No, no!
00:14:33No, no, no!
00:14:36You just need a scatty!
00:14:37No, no!
00:14:40No, no!
00:14:42Who the hell do you think you are?
00:14:47I'm Luca Mancini.
00:14:49Mancini, you idiot.
00:14:51You killed me.
00:14:52How did my sister get caught up with the likes of you?
00:14:55Ava is my brother's widow.
00:14:56And her baby is his only child.
00:15:00So it's true?
00:15:01Her baby is the heir to the Mancini family?
00:15:05Looks like your wife is pregnant too.
00:15:07Yes, yes, it's true.
00:15:09I swear, we didn't know.
00:15:11Please, please.
00:15:12You will be dealt with.
00:15:14Tenfold.
00:15:15What you did to Ava.
00:15:19Get a doctor!
00:15:20Get a doctor!
00:15:21Get a car and deal with them.
00:15:59Mom!
00:16:00Hey!
00:16:02How's Ava?
00:16:03How's the baby?
00:16:04The doctors are examining her now.
00:16:10Doctor, how is she?
00:16:12Mrs. Mancini has a severe ankle fracture that it needs immediate surgery.
00:16:17The medication could cause a miscarriage.
00:16:19So we need to have consent before we can proceed.
00:16:23Do it!
00:16:24Whatever it takes!
00:16:25No!
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.
00:16:42His only heir.
00:16:43I 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 during the operation.
00:16:55The pain would be just too intense.
00:16:58I'll stay with her.
00:17:23How'd it go, doctor?
00:17:24It's a success.
00:17:27You're a real trooper, if 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.
00:17:59Okay, right this way, I'm right.
00:18:05I know your stay at the hospital could not have been easy for you.
00:18:09That's why I'm having 30% of 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, I've been thinking about doing something else.
00:18:28I'd like to go back to work.
00:18:31Work?
00:18:32But, but, you're pregnant.
00:18:34Oh, honey, if you need money, I'll just transfer some into your account.
00:18:37No, no, it's not about money.
00:18:40Marco always said that we should make our own way.
00:18:44And I want our child to know his father and know what he valued.
00:18:52You are as stubborn as he was.
00:18:56Well, you're going to need protection.
00:18:59You'll accompany her.
00:19:04No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:19:05I can manage on my own.
00:19:10In the morning, 10 a.m., I'll be at the entrance.
00:19:22You know that I can talk to your manager for you.
00:19:24Make sure that they accommodate every need.
00:19:26No need.
00:19:27I don't want any special treatments.
00:19:30But, thank you for that ride.
00:19:33You know, Ava, you do not need to be afraid of me.
00:19:37I can help you.
00:19:39Whenever you need.
00:19:58Why is she even back?
00:20:00That pregnant belly ruins the source of static.
00:20:02These pregnant women know exactly what they're doing.
00:20:05Hiding behind maternity protections.
00:20:07We can't legally fire her.
00:20:10Could you reassign her to the warehouse?
00:20:12Maybe move some stock around?
00:20:14And if something happens to her or the baby,
00:20:16you want that liability?
00:20:18We can't fire her,
00:20:20but we certainly can make her life difficult enough
00:20:23that she decides to quit on her own.
00:20:44And that concludes our quarterly revenue projections.
00:20:51Sir, forgive my directness,
00:20:53but are we here because you're concerned about your sister-in-law?
00:21:02Should I have the car brought around for your next meeting?
00:21:06Cancel the meeting?
00:21:11I've been meaning to talk to you.
00:21:13Given your, um, condition,
00:21:15I've been worried about potential liability issues.
00:21:19My pregnancy will not affect my performance.
00:21:21I do not intend to take advantage of company policy.
00:21:25Oh, glad to hear that.
00:21:28Then you won't mind proving your commitment.
00:21:30Sell one million dollars worth of merchandise by today.
00:21:35And I'll put all of my concerns to rest.
00:21:37I've seen your sales record.
00:21:39I know you can do it.
00:21:40Ugh, talk.
00:21:48To all the doubters, doubters.
00:21:52To those who don't believe.
00:21:56This is the hour, hour.
00:21:59You see
00:22:00there will not make lives.
00:22:03And step on some roadblocks.
00:22:05So over the lines,
00:22:07let's say we won't cross.
00:22:20Sir, half an hour until closing and Mrs. Mancini has already surpassed the store's average
00:22:26monthly sales in a single day, but she's still a great deal short of the manager's impossible
00:22:32target. She did make it clear that she doesn't want any special treatment, but I have been
00:22:41neglecting my own wardrobe, and the Rossi family event will require several new suits. Now that
00:22:46you mention it, sir, your formal collection is missing quite a few essential items. And I should
00:22:52do some personal shopping, shouldn't I? Sir, may I assist you? Sir, this limited edition
00:23:03silk tie would go perfect with your complexion. Sir, I'd be happy to take your measurements,
00:23:08personally. Sir, as store manager, I would be honored to assist you with your needs myself.
00:23:15I'd actually like Ms. Jackson to assist me. I hear her taste in men's fashion is exceptional.
00:23:25Shall we begin? Right this way, sir.
00:23:33I just need to take your measurements. Whoa, what are you doing?
00:23:39Your measurements are fine.
00:23:42I just needed you to take the jacket off. Well, we don't have much time.
00:23:51This is what you're asking. I know.
00:24:00Now, measure me like this.
00:24:06Ava, time is almost up.
00:24:07Okay, let's see.
00:24:08Okay, let's see.
00:24:49I did it. I saved my job.
00:24:52And I made a new sales record.
00:24:56There's no reason to thank me.
00:24:58I'm here to help.
00:24:59Whenever you need it.
00:25:02I hate to do this, but...
00:25:04Ava Jackson.
00:25:06You're fired.
00:25:09Why?
00:25:11No.
00:25:12I met your target and then some.
00:25:14Oh.
00:25:15That last sale?
00:25:16The one that put you over the top?
00:25:18That was actually mine.
00:25:20You're trying to steal my commission.
00:25:22Well, that won't work because everyone in this store saw me make that sale.
00:25:31I get it.
00:25:32You threatened them into silence.
00:25:34Well, that won't work either.
00:25:35Because the security cameras caught everything.
00:25:40Security cameras?
00:25:48What a horrible timing.
00:25:51Unfortunately, the security cameras are down for maintenance today.
00:25:54But fortunately, everyone here saw you destroy thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
00:26:01You all saw Ava, didn't you?
00:26:03Yeah, we all saw it.
00:26:06So someone should call security.
00:26:08Better yet, call the police.
00:26:18I'm sorry, sir, but we're closed for the day.
00:26:21I heard that this store got trashed.
00:26:22I'm going to have to ask you to leave or I'm going to have to call the police.
00:26:25The police work for me.
00:26:27Are you Luca Mancini?
00:26:30Let's go.
00:27:23Please stop, I admit it, I was wrong.
00:27:27Who really damaged the merchandise in this store?
00:27:28The items that you destroyed are worth over several millions of dollars.
00:27:32That's five years in prison.
00:27:38Look, what happened?
00:27:39There's nothing worth talking about.
00:27:40We need to go.
00:27:41And by the way, you're fired.
00:27:43Let's go.
00:27:44Mom, could you do it?
00:27:49How dare that woman mess with my family?
00:27:55I will make sure, personally, that she suffers for it.
00:27:59You don't have to worry about that anymore.
00:28:01It's all taken care of, thanks to Luca.
00:28:04This door looked like a tornado hit it.
00:28:06Man who will be serving time in a jail cell.
00:28:09Justice is served.
00:28:11That's my boy.
00:28:15Sweetheart, I would like you to concentrate full-time on your pregnancy right now.
00:28:20All of this work drama can wait until after my grandchild is born safely.
00:28:26Yes, Mom.
00:28:26I transferred five million dollars into your personal account for prenatal care.
00:28:32I am worried about the baby's well-being.
00:28:36Luca, I'd like you to take her to the doctor tomorrow for an exam.
00:28:41No.
00:28:42That's really not necessary.
00:28:46I have those meetings in Europe, so possibly I could have some more substitute in for me.
00:28:51Yeah, and I'm perfectly capable of going by myself.
00:28:55I don't want to travel, Luca, with something so routine.
00:29:00It's decided.
00:29:02Cancel whatever meetings you have.
00:29:04I want you to take her.
00:29:06I will not stand for any more incidents.
00:29:09Yes, Mother.
00:29:11No.
00:29:24Ava Jackson, we're ready for you now.
00:29:27Dad should come too.
00:29:28We encourage partner participation.
00:29:31Oh no, he's not.
00:29:36Would you prefer that I explain that I'm your dead husband's brother?
00:29:40That might be a bit awkward.
00:29:42Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, please come in when you're ready.
00:29:44Coming.
00:29:52If you could lift your top up slightly and lower your skirt band just a bit, we'll get started.
00:30:05First prenatal checkup together, I'm guessing.
00:30:12The baby looks perfectly healthy.
00:30:16Current length is about three inches with a strong heart rate.
00:30:21Is the baby moving?
00:30:22Yes, indeed.
00:30:24Yes, indeed.
00:30:25Look there.
00:30:26The little one's making faces.
00:30:29Quite the expressive child already.
00:30:36Dad, don't you want to come take a look?
00:30:45The baby's at 18 weeks now, developing beautifully.
00:30:50For home care, I recommend plenty of rest, nutrient-rich foods, and tactile bonding when possible.
00:31:00Tactile bonding?
00:31:01Yes.
00:31:02It's quite beneficial for fetal development.
00:31:05Come over here and place your hands on her belly.
00:31:09Doctor, is that really appropriate?
00:31:12What's inappropriate about it?
00:31:14This is what husbands do.
00:31:19Okay.
00:31:32I'm sorry tonight.
00:31:33Did I hurt you?
00:31:34No, no, no, it just feels strange.
00:31:38Like this.
00:31:40Top to bottom, left to right, gentle strokes.
00:31:47Got it?
00:31:49Got it.
00:31:51Do this once daily, five to ten minutes each.
00:31:56You can sit up now.
00:32:05So, everything good with the baby?
00:32:07Any special instructions I should know about?
00:32:11Nothing.
00:32:12Nothing, no.
00:32:13The doctor did say that the baby is developing beautifully, and there's nothing to worry about.
00:32:19Good news, then.
00:32:22Before I forget, the Rossi family's daughter is having her birthday celebration next weekend, and we should all attend.
00:32:31The Rossi family?
00:32:32Technically, they're our business rivals, but social niceties must be maintained.
00:32:39And she has had an embarrassing crush on Luca since they were little children.
00:32:45Mom, please.
00:32:46Miss Sofia Rossi has arrived unannounced.
00:32:51She shows up without calling?
00:32:53How gauche.
00:32:55Should we send Ava upstairs?
00:32:56No, no, it's fine.
00:32:57I'm here.
00:32:58We can just...
00:33:02Good evening, Mrs. Mancini.
00:33:04Luca!
00:33:05I came to personally deliver my birthday invitation.
00:33:07Okay.
00:33:12Luca, who is this woman?
00:33:14Luca, who is this woman?
00:33:16Hey, hey, hey.
00:33:17Rossi's family lack of manners ever disappoints me.
00:33:21Luca Mancini, how dare you speak to me like that?
00:33:23Ms. Rossi, right?
00:33:25I've heard so much about your family.
00:33:29I'm Ava, Marco's wife.
00:33:32Marco was Luca's brother.
00:33:36Oh, okay.
00:33:38I thought you were carrying Luca's baby.
00:33:41That's good, because Luca's wife.
00:33:43I came all this way to bring you that, and this is how you welcome me?
00:33:47Don't disappoint me at the party, darling.
00:33:49Wear something sharp.
00:33:53Yes.
00:34:03See if there's any connection between that pregnant woman and Luca.
00:34:06I'm not buying this whole sister-in-law act for one second.
00:34:09You got it.
00:34:14You look so handsome.
00:34:19Well, well, well.
00:34:21It looks like my stubborn son has good taste after all.
00:34:25Luca did an excellent job selecting this gown.
00:34:28It is perfect for you.
00:34:30Luca picked this?
00:34:34I've never been anywhere this fancy before.
00:34:38I might embarrass you guys.
00:34:40Oh, don't even worry about it.
00:34:43You are my pride and joy.
00:34:45Besides, Luca will be with us the whole time, and he'll make sure everything runs smoothly.
00:34:53Luca?
00:34:55What about her shoes?
00:34:56How could you forget something so basic?
00:35:13How could you forget something so basic?
00:35:26Right there.
00:35:31No problem. Just don't want you to fall.
00:35:49Who's that with Mr. Mancini?
00:35:51She's clearly pregnant.
00:35:52Do you think that's Mr. Mancini's baby?
00:35:55I had no idea he was even married.
00:35:57Must be his mistress.
00:35:59How shameless.
00:36:00Everyone, I would like to introduce Ava Mancini,
00:36:04my eldest son Marco's wife.
00:36:07Marco's wife? She's stunning.
00:36:12This is my birthday party!
00:36:14I'm supposed to be the center of attention,
00:36:16not some pregnant woman!
00:36:20Maybe we shouldn't cross a scene here.
00:36:22It's mine.
00:36:23She's always like this.
00:36:26We didn't mean to steal your spotlight.
00:36:29An apology simply isn't enough.
00:36:32Since you're Luca's sister-in-law,
00:36:34why don't you entertain us all with a performance of some kind?
00:36:39Look, she used to deliver food for a living.
00:36:41Waitress? Retail clerk? Cleaning lady?
00:36:44What could someone with her background possibly perform for this crowd?
00:36:58Ava, how does this piece go again?
00:37:01I'm completely lost here. I've forgotten everything that you've told me.
00:37:05There's no way she could actually play.
00:37:08She's just a nobody from nowhere.
00:37:10He has to be setting her own.
00:37:12Even Miss Mancini is smiling.
00:37:14Just waiting for her to crash and burn.
00:37:35I was just playing for the baby.
00:37:38I think he recognized the music you were playing for us earlier.
00:37:43Well, maybe you should teach me sometime. Properly.
00:37:47I'd like to play for you both.
00:37:52Because Mom did tell me to look after you, so it's the least that I can do.
00:38:07One chair and there.
00:38:11a lecture and
00:38:39a
00:38:39a
00:38:39a
00:38:45They're definitely more than in-laws. Look at the way they play together.
00:38:50If I can't have him, I'll destroy them both.
00:38:59Yeah, I always enjoy these type of events.
00:39:01Me too. That's how it's good.
00:39:03From East Russell. Your compliments.
00:39:06Cheers.
00:39:10Sir, that drink is almost certainly drugged.
00:39:14Obviously.
00:39:15Is the Rossi family making a move against us?
00:39:17These tensions have been simmering for years.
00:39:20Should we respond preemptively?
00:39:26Do nothing. You just need to focus on protecting Ava.
00:39:30We'll see what they have planned.
00:39:38Darling, you look tired. I don't think all this excitement is good for your condition.
00:39:44Why don't you try to find Luca and let's get you home.
00:40:11Sophia's bedroom. Why is Luca's phone in there? And why am I jealous?
00:40:34I've wanted Luca for years. And then you waltz in and get his attention in weeks?
00:40:42You won't look so innocent when everyone sees you in bed next to your dead.
00:40:46Husband's problem.
00:40:48This is exactly how you wanted it?
00:40:50Not at all. This isn't convincing. Unbutton their clothes.
00:41:01Sal, position them closer together. Make it look more intimate.
00:41:10Perfect. Let's go.
00:41:11Well, our masterpiece is complete.
00:41:13Now we just have to bring in an audience.
00:41:25I expected much more than just this juvenile prank from my business partner.
00:41:40Ava, wake up.
00:41:42Ava.
00:41:45Ava.
00:41:57Ava.
00:42:00What happened to us?
00:42:06This is bad.
00:42:09What happened to us?
00:42:14This is bad.
00:42:15Oh.
00:42:17If anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:42:21Ooh.
00:42:24Luka, wake up.
00:42:30Okay.
00:42:33Oh!
00:42:34Oh, jeez.
00:42:38People are coming.
00:42:39You're acting like we had some tort affair.
00:42:41We didn't do anything wrong, so why are you worrying?
00:42:44I'm your late brother's widow, and I'm carrying his child.
00:42:47If anyone sees us like this, the Mancini family name won't be destroyed.
00:42:51Okay.
00:42:52Okay.
00:42:54Oh, so Mancini name is what you're concerned about. Is that it?
00:42:59Hey, hey, hey. You haven't answered.
00:43:05Thank you all so much for coming today to celebrate me.
00:43:09But I do have some rather important information to share with you all.
00:43:14I have just discovered Luka Mancini in a rather compromising position.
00:43:21with his brother's pregnant widow in my bedroom.
00:43:33Can you let go?
00:43:38They're coming. Let's get in here.
00:43:40Wait.
00:43:43Here, I got this. Watch out.
00:43:44Wait, stop. Watch out.
00:43:45They're right there.
00:43:47If we walk through that door, we'll walk right into their trap.
00:43:49Okay, then what's your brilliant idea?
00:43:51Yes, ma'am?
00:43:52Um, we...
00:43:54Let's go through the window. We can climb down.
00:43:56Whoa, whoa, whoa, no. I'm afraid of heights.
00:43:59Your what?
00:44:02Sorry, I just didn't realize the great Luka Mancini had fears like the rest of us.
00:44:08Yeah, you know, that's one of my fears and I don't advertise it, so deal with it.
00:44:13What?
00:44:14What the hell, Steve?
00:44:16Miss Cossie, where are these cheaters you promised to expose?
00:44:19Shh!
00:44:20Keep it down, you idiot. You don't want to wake them.
00:44:22I mean, we don't want to alert them to give them a chance to escape.
00:44:27They're coming. Let's go. Let's go.
00:44:30Okay.
00:44:31Hurry, hurry.
00:44:36No, no, no, no. Don't run. We have to catch them in the act first.
00:44:39Are you insane? Your house is on fire.
00:44:41Who cares about the gossip? Let her get out of here.
00:44:44No, no, no, no. I'll help everyone leave afterwards.
00:44:46But first, let's get a look at them. Come on.
00:45:09Oh, hi.
00:45:11What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:45:13I am so sorry. It was an accident. Please.
00:45:17Okay?
00:45:18Yeah.
00:45:20The staff prepared everything for you and there's hot water in there.
00:45:28And what about you?
00:45:29I want to be out here taking guard for you.
00:45:33Now go on. It's warm.
00:45:37Thanks.
00:46:06Damn it.
00:46:09What is it?
00:46:11Uh, Miss Rossi is demanding to see you, sir.
00:46:14She's quite insistent.
00:46:16Okay. Let her in.
00:46:21You set off the fire alarms and completely scared away my guests.
00:46:24Yes. You ruined my birthday celebration.
00:46:36Hey. You will take full responsibility for what you did.
00:46:40The drugging. The setup. All of it.
00:46:43And if you ever threaten Ava again, directly or indirectly, I will end the Rossi family from this city permanently.
00:46:52You're a monster.
00:46:53That's her in there, isn't it? Ava?
00:46:56Your dead brother's wife?
00:46:58How dare you?
00:46:59You're a monster.
00:46:59Take the floor.
00:47:00Ow! Get your hands off of me!
00:47:02Do you know who I am!?
00:47:06Oh.
00:47:19Luca?
00:47:30Luca, it's me, wake up.
00:47:32Eva, you're so close, is this a dream?
00:47:42Luca, I'm your brother's wife.
00:47:45So, so this isn't a dream, I, um...
00:47:49Eva, I've had feelings for you for so long.
00:47:53And I've tried to keep them a secret, but I...
00:47:55I can't keep them any longer.
00:47:59And now you know my two secrets, and by family code,
00:48:04I have to silence the person who discovers my weaknesses.
00:48:09Luca, let me go.
00:48:11No, no, no, but I can't silence you because,
00:48:14Ava, I have fallen in love with you.
00:48:17Oh, God, that's not funny.
00:48:20Look, I've never been more serious.
00:48:24Look, Ava, every time I come around you, I...
00:48:28I feel myself slipping.
00:48:30And my feelings have crossed that line months ago.
00:48:36Stop, stop, just stop.
00:48:38I'll forget this ever happened.
00:48:40No, Ava.
00:48:42I want to take care of you.
00:48:45And the baby.
00:48:46For the rest of my life.
00:48:57Luca, I...
00:49:03Luca, what's going on? Why isn't Ava home?
00:49:07What's going on here?
00:49:09Mom, I...
00:49:10Nothing.
00:49:12My clothes were dirty, so Luca prepared for me a shower and clean clothes.
00:49:17Oh, thank goodness.
00:49:19The last thing we need is for you to catch pneumonia.
00:49:22Yeah, I know.
00:49:24Ava, I think that we should probably...
00:49:26Luca, it's almost Marco's birthday.
00:49:31Let's visit his grave.
00:49:34He is your brother and my husband.
00:49:37And we don't want to betray his memory.
00:49:41Oh, you poor thing. You must be utterly exhausted.
00:49:44Let's get you home.
00:49:46These Rossi's are nothing but trouble.
00:49:49We need to accelerate our plans against them.
00:50:03Marco...
00:50:05I miss you.
00:50:10I feel so lost without you.
00:50:16Would you hate me...
00:50:19If you knew I had feelings for your brother?
00:50:25Ava, are you in there?
00:50:34Ava, are you there?
00:50:37I meant everything that I said today.
00:50:40And I want to help you get through this, and I want to protect you.
00:50:44Marco and mom...
00:50:46They would both understand.
00:50:50Ava, I love you.
00:51:06I understand how difficult this is.
00:51:10And your loyalty for Marco.
00:51:12And your concern for my mother.
00:51:14That is the compassion that...
00:51:17That's the reason I fell in love with you.
00:51:21There's 30 million dollars on this credit card.
00:51:25And the pin number is your birthday.
00:51:26I've been through epsom flows.
00:51:29Our last goodbye felt like the end.
00:51:32Can't deny, I can't pretend.
00:51:35That this fire burns again.
00:51:39Illuminated rain.
00:51:42I feel alive.
00:51:44One more time, our worlds collide.
00:51:47Watch them circling in the sky.
00:51:50We are magnetic sides.
00:51:54I'm falling into you.
00:51:55I'm falling into you.
00:51:56I'm falling into you.
00:51:57You will love me like you do.
00:51:59I say you and I were through.
00:52:08The baby's development is right on track.
00:52:12Perfect, actually.
00:52:15Has your husband been doing those tactile bonding exercises I showed you?
00:52:19Doctor.
00:52:21Actually, he's not exactly my...
00:52:23No need to be embarrassed.
00:52:25The way that man looks at you is something special.
00:52:28No.
00:52:33Now face each other.
00:52:35Helena, take her hands.
00:52:37Deep inhale.
00:52:40And lean into each other.
00:52:42Using each other's weight to support you.
00:52:46Come up.
00:52:52On the exhale, do a gentle squat.
00:52:58And then share and embrace.
00:53:04Do you have anything?
00:53:11Who exactly are you welcoming home, dear daughter-in-law?
00:53:15I was just talking nonsense.
00:53:18Nice.
00:53:28I'll get it.
00:53:34Miss, flowers from Mr. Mancini.
00:54:10I wonder if he's doing well out there.
00:54:12I have a nervous look on your face when you're starting to think that you're talking too much.
00:54:18I like how we just met and I'm not even slightly afraid to be opening up.
00:54:27Hello?
00:54:28Ava?
00:54:29I'm outside at the gate.
00:54:31Security won't let me in.
00:54:38Mom, what are you doing here?
00:54:39I missed you terribly, sweetheart.
00:54:41I just wanted to check on you and the baby.
00:54:48Look.
00:54:49Fresh oranges.
00:54:51Just pick today.
00:54:52You need the vitamin C for the baby's development.
00:54:55I'm on a very carefully monitored diet.
00:54:58You wasted a trip.
00:55:03Look.
00:55:04I know that you haven't forgiven me.
00:55:06But you have to understand.
00:55:09Derek and Sarah, I mean, they would have thrown me out on the street if I didn't go along with
00:55:15them.
00:55:15I mean, what choice did I have?
00:55:19That's not rehash the past.
00:55:20Of course.
00:55:22I picked these up for my grandchild.
00:55:25Aren't they precious?
00:55:28That baby that you're carrying is my family, too.
00:55:33I love them so much already.
00:55:36Look, I stood up for you to Derek and he threw me out.
00:55:40I had absolutely nothing left.
00:55:52This card contains all the money I've saved.
00:55:55It's yours.
00:55:56But you have to promise me that you'll use it for yourself.
00:55:59Not a penny goes to Derek.
00:56:01I swear it.
00:56:03Not a cent to him.
00:56:05How much money are we talking about?
00:56:06$10,000.
00:56:09$10,000?
00:56:12That's it.
00:56:13You're carrying the Mancini heir and all they've given you is $10,000.
00:56:18That is my personal savings.
00:56:21I haven't asked the Mancinis for a cent.
00:56:23This is completely unacceptable.
00:56:28Everyone in this city knows that the Mancinis are loaded beyond belief.
00:56:32Come on.
00:56:33You need to milk this situation for all it's worth.
00:56:42Honey, I'm...
00:56:45I'm only thinking about your future and your security.
00:56:49I mean, what happens if they throw you out once the baby arrives?
00:56:53I didn't marry into the Mancini family for their fortune.
00:56:58And you mention their money one more time, you'll never see me again.
00:57:02Understand?
00:57:03I understand, sweetheart.
00:57:06Mom won't say another word about it.
00:57:07I'm sorry.
00:57:10I'm sorry.
00:57:11I'm sorry.
00:57:12Psst.
00:57:13$10,000?
00:57:14That's it?
00:57:15That's pocket change for them.
00:57:17She must be holding down on this.
00:57:21That ungrateful little brat.
00:57:24I tried everything.
00:57:26I couldn't squeeze another penny out of her.
00:57:28She's swimming in Mancini money, and we're here struggling.
00:57:31After what they did to my leg, I should be getting millions!
00:57:35A few million?
00:57:37It's just the beginning.
00:57:38We've been thinking too small.
00:57:51I have good reason to believe that we have a common enemy.
00:57:54I think we should work together.
00:58:01Um, Miss Mancini has been sleeping well, sir.
00:58:03Uh, she got the prenatal vitamins you sent her, and they effectively reduced her morning sickness.
00:58:09And this morning, she ate half a slice of french toast, a half portion of scrambled eggs, two cherry tomatoes,
00:58:16and a glass of milk.
00:58:17And after some gentle persuasion from your mother, she also had a piece of steak for the iron content.
00:58:23Well, it's good to hear that she's eating healthy.
00:58:26And then she finally attended the prenatal concert we arranged, and afterwards she spoke with one of the pianists about
00:58:33the compositions.
00:58:34Is it man or woman?
00:58:34Sir, per your instructions, they were all talented women. No exceptions.
00:58:39And, she actually mentioned you today. While making hot chocolate, she said to the chef,
00:58:45It's never quite as good as Luca's.
00:58:47She always knows what to say.
00:58:51I'll make her a batch right now, and we can have it delivered.
00:58:53Great. I'll arrange your private courier right away.
00:59:02Luca is almost finished with his business. Hopefully, he will make it home in time for the birth.
00:59:09Mrs. Mancini, it's terrible news. Luca's jet has been destroyed amid a flight heap. He's missing.
00:59:15What?
00:59:16I want every detail immediately.
00:59:18Yes, ma'am.
00:59:21Ava, breathe. Breathe. Don't panic. Don't panic. Luca has always been lucky. He's gonna be fine. He will.
00:59:33Hello?
00:59:34I have Luca Mancini. $20 million cash for his safe return. No police, no family, no security team.
00:59:42You come alone, or he dies. You have 24 hours.
00:59:49Oh, Ava, are you okay? Who was that?
00:59:54It's nothing, nothing. I'm just dizzy. The baby. So, I'm gonna go upstairs and lie down.
01:00:04Okay.
01:00:05Here.
01:00:21Money first.
01:00:32Ow.
01:00:36You okay?
01:00:39Derek.
01:00:41Where's Luca?
01:00:43Where's Luca?
01:00:44Don't worry about Luca.
01:00:46Worry about yourself.
01:00:47No.
01:01:05Yeah, with her as our bargaining chip, we can demand a hundred million dollars from the Mancini's. Easy.
01:01:15Mom. Mom, why are you doing this? Poor family. Why have you always treated me so terribly?
01:01:26Family? You are so pathetic. You just don't get it, do you? You're just some brat that Mom found on
01:01:35the street that she brought home to be our living servant.
01:01:38What are you talking about?
01:01:39What are you talking about?
01:01:39You're an orphan!
01:01:42Not even your birth mother wanted you.
01:01:45Yeah, we brought you in. We fed you. We clothed you. And in return, your life belongs to us.
01:01:55Oh, and uh, by the way, since we're being honest with each other right now, my whole leg injury, it's
01:02:01kinda my fault.
01:02:04But it was a great excuse to get you to basically give up your life and be our slave all
01:02:09these years.
01:02:14You know what? Even though you're nothing but a bunch of orphan trash, you're actually very beautiful.
01:02:24So since we're giving up this whole brother-sister roleplay thing, I don't want to do something that I've wanted
01:02:35to do for a very, very long time.
01:02:39Stop, Stark! You're sick!
01:02:42Shhhhhh!
01:02:43Shhhhhh!
01:02:44Shhhhhh!
01:02:45Now let's just keep that pretty little mouth of yours quiet, shall we?
01:02:52Fuck!
01:02:53Fuck!
01:02:55You fucking bitch!
01:02:57Fuck!
01:02:58Fuck!
01:02:59Fuck!
01:03:00Fuck!
01:03:02Fuck!
01:03:02Fuck!
01:03:03Fuck!
01:03:04Fuck!
01:03:04Fuck!
01:03:05Fuck!
01:03:09Fuck!
01:03:19Oh God! You're alive! You're okay!
01:03:21Ugh!
01:03:23Ugh!
01:03:26Stop!
01:03:27Stop!
01:03:29My plane blew up!
01:03:31Anybody gets kidnapped!
01:03:32This isn't a coincidence!
01:03:33Who are you looking for?
01:03:35Answer me!
01:03:40Hey, make them stop!
01:03:42He's your brother!
01:03:44You'll kill him!
01:03:45You just told me I'm an orphan, so he's not really my little brother.
01:03:48You better tell me who your accomplices are, or he stops breathing.
01:03:52You two should be ashamed of yourselves.
01:03:55Can I see the way that you look at each other?
01:03:57He's your dead husband's brother.
01:04:01You're betraying Marco and his mother.
01:04:06Are you alright? Hey, hey, hey, you okay?
01:04:08Yeah, yeah.
01:04:10Your mom has been so kind to me, and I dragged her into this mess.
01:04:15It's on my floor.
01:04:17Your mother-in-law took you in.
01:04:19She treated you like a daughter.
01:04:21She gave you everything that you could ever want,
01:04:23and this is how you repay her?
01:04:24By falling for her younger son?
01:04:27Have you already forgotten Marco?
01:04:29It is his grave!
01:04:31What is wrong with you?
01:04:36I want her as my daughter-in-law.
01:04:38First my eldest son's wife, and now my youngest.
01:04:44Object again, and you'll lose your tongue.
01:04:58You couldn't have Luca, so you decided to try and kill him?
01:05:05Good thing he changed his flight plan at the last minute, hmm?
01:05:10Cross the Mancini's, and you cease to exist.
01:05:13Just release me!
01:05:15My father will burn your empire to the ground.
01:05:20Don't you wonder why my son was gone all that time?
01:05:27Your family's power...
01:05:31already gone.
01:05:43You two have risked everything to be together.
01:05:48I can see that Luca's devotion is absolute.
01:05:55You have endured far too much pain.
01:05:59It's time to let him take care of you.
01:06:02But...
01:06:04Marco...
01:06:05I made it wrong this day.
01:06:07And Marco...
01:06:09would want your happiness...
01:06:12above all else.
01:06:14He will rest easier...
01:06:17knowing that we are protecting you...
01:06:20and your child.
01:06:24From this moment forward, I swear to you, nobody will ever hurt you like that.
01:06:34Luca...
01:06:34you're bleeding.
01:06:39You gotta keep this clean.
01:06:41Yeah.
01:06:41Infections can get nasty.
01:06:47So you're saying that you care about me, then?
01:06:50Shut up.
01:06:51Of course I care.
01:06:57All right.
01:06:58Wait.
01:07:24I think he likes you.
01:07:27Yeah.
01:07:32Ava, I will take care of you and the baby, just like my brother would have.
01:07:39I brought some fruit for you and the...
01:07:44Luca, she's pregnant.
01:07:47Be gentle with her.
01:07:51I think maybe you should get some rest.
01:07:54Okay.
01:07:58Oh, wait.
01:08:01What is it?
01:08:02I think I'm in labor.
01:08:04Oh, my God.
01:08:06Come on.
01:08:07What is this?
01:08:13What is taking so long?
01:08:15Is something wrong?
01:08:16She's gone into labor early.
01:08:18Have you two been intimate recently?
01:08:21Well, we didn't exactly.
01:08:23I mean, not completely.
01:08:25I warned you to be careful with her.
01:08:28Oh, I'm sorry.
01:08:28What can we do now?
01:08:30The medication isn't working as we'd hoped.
01:08:33There's another approach we could try.
01:08:36Yes, yes, we'll do anything.
01:08:37Money's no object.
01:08:38Just help her.
01:08:40Some intimate touches can help her relax and feel better.
01:08:47Right here.
01:08:50Right here.
01:08:51Yes.
01:08:55Mom, I can't.
01:08:58Just whip it out.
01:08:59Don't do it.
01:09:01Hurry it up.
01:09:04Yes, sir.,
01:09:29and I'll go.
01:09:32I hope things are going smoothly in there.
01:09:34They've never been together before.
01:09:38Never been together?
01:09:39Then how could she be?
01:09:42The child is my late son's.
01:09:45Luca's brother.
01:09:49You okay?
01:09:51Doctor, please!
01:09:52Doctor, please!
01:10:00One, two, three, push.
01:10:02One, two, three, push.
01:10:06One, two, three, push.
01:10:07Push, push, push.
01:10:13It's your baby.
01:10:17It's your baby.
01:10:25Hey.
01:10:26Hi.
01:10:27How are you feeling?
01:10:28Good.
01:10:29You want something to eat?
01:10:31I'm okay.
01:10:32Okay.
01:10:37I thought this hospital was the best that money can buy.
01:10:39I guess I was misinformed.
01:10:44Luca, they're doing the best they can.
01:10:46Let's not terrorize the staff.
01:10:50Look, I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:10:54You want to tear me apart?
01:11:05Luca, remember to control yourself, son.
01:11:09Let her recover first.
01:11:18Just like that.
01:11:19Hi.
01:11:21And have you decided what to name this little prince?
01:11:26Marco.
01:11:28Marco.
01:11:29I want to name him Marco.
01:11:53Look, little one.
01:11:55It's your daddy.
01:11:58You're a real daddy.
01:12:04It's remarkable how much he looks like.
01:12:07Marco.
01:12:09I thought you had all the answers.
01:12:12And that you'd handle everything.
01:12:15And I promise to protect mom, the business, and your family.
01:12:25Our family.
01:12:29You know, Marco used to say that if you wanted to think about somebody, you would watch the dandelion.
01:12:36And if the seeds blew out easily, then they were thinking of you, too.
01:13:01And if the seeds blew out easily, then they were thinking of you, too.
01:13:06Miss, Mrs. Mancini's wedding gifts, the finest villas, the Mancini family jewelry, and finally,
01:13:1530% ownership of Mancini group holdings, effective immediately.
01:13:25This ring has been in the Mancini family for seven generations.
01:13:32Passed from mother to daughter-in-law.
01:13:39Thank you, Mona.
01:13:46A perfect fit.
01:14:00Now, I need the two of you to focus on your top priority.
01:14:05Um, top priority?
01:14:07Giving me a granddaughter to play with little Marco Jr.
01:14:13Mom, we're at a church, and there are witnesses.
01:14:28Happy anniversary, Ernie.
01:14:31I love you, Chad.
01:14:33I love you.
