Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Master Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson, and she was carrying his child.
00:00:07I'm gonna bring my daughter-in-law home, where she belongs.
00:00:12My brother, I will protect your legacy, and I will protect our family.
00:00:18Who are you, really?
00:00:21A mere day she has swung with 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 now.
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.
00:00:49I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:00:56Ava, you're so close, is this a dream?
00:01:02If anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:01:07Ava, I have fallen in love with you.
00:01:10I'm your brother's wife.
00:01:12We didn't do anything wrong, so why are you worried?
00:01:14If you knew I had feelings for your brother, would you hate me?
00:01:18I should never have let you go undercover on that damn business deal.
00:01:36I never even got to say goodbye.
00:01:38Marco, my brother, I will protect your legacy.
00:01:42And I will protect our family.
00:01:50Hey, hey!
00:01:52Who are you?
00:01:53Which family do you work for?
00:01:54I just came to drop off the flowers.
00:01:56I didn't mean to retreat.
00:01:57Luca, look at her.
00:01:59She's hardly a threat.
00:02:00For the flowers, and for the interruption, my apologies.
00:02:15Signor Mancini, Master Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson.
00:02:27And she was carrying his child.
00:02:29Get the car.
00:02:31I'll never bring my daughter-in-law home where she belongs.
00:02:36Don't worry, little one.
00:02:45We'll get through this together.
00:02:48Somehow.
00:02:52Well, looky here.
00:02:54The family jinx is finally six feet under.
00:02:57Derek, have you lost your mind?
00:03:07What the hell was that?
00:03:08Don't tell me that you're actually planning on keeping that little parasite.
00:03:13This is Marco's baby.
00:03:16This is our child.
00:03:18Of course I'm keeping it.
00:03:20Ever since you got knocked up, you've done nothing to help this family.
00:03:24Emily, 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.
00:03:37This is your fault.
00:03:40I dropped out of college for this family.
00:03:43I took five jobs.
00:03:44What more could you possibly want?
00:03:45You'll never be enough, Ava.
00:03:47You'll owe us till the day you die.
00:03:50Please, sweetheart.
00:03:53Think of your brother.
00:03:58I'm gonna stomp out that little bastard right now.
00:04:01Send him straight to hell.
00:04:03So he can say hello to his deadbeat dad.
00:04:08Hex!
00:04:23What?
00:04:24What the hell is going on here?
00:04:25Who the hell are you people?
00:04:26Ava, right?
00:04:27You were here this morning.
00:04:28Enough, Luca.
00:04:29She's hardly up here.
00:04:30Ma'am?
00:04:31I'm Helena Mancini.
00:04:32Marco's mother.
00:04:33That means I'm your baby's grandmother.
00:04:34The most powerful mafia family in the country.
00:04:35Marco was my oldest.
00:04:36He was my golden boy.
00:04:37I am so sorry that he concealed his identity from you.
00:04:52You have endured far too much suffering because of it.
00:05:09Plain make-believe Mancini?
00:05:14Seriously, like is anybody here actually buying this?
00:05:17Question my identity again and my men will make sure your other leg looks like your first one.
00:05:24Permanently.
00:05:26What are you doing?
00:05:28Derek, run!
00:05:29Maybe we should just go.
00:05:31One moment here.
00:05:34Anyone who raises a hand to my daughter-in-law deserves to have their fingers snapped.
00:05:41One by one.
00:05:45Come along, my dear.
00:05:48Let's get you home.
00:05:50Let's get you home.
00:05:51To your real home.
00:06:15Welcome home, Senora Eva Mancini.
00:06:18This is where Marco lived.
00:06:22And now, it's your baby too.
00:06:30Allow me to introduce you to your personal staff, Mrs. Mancini.
00:06:34Your nutritionist, nanny, maternity nurse, each the finest specialist money can acquire.
00:06:39We pledge your absolute dedication to your health and well-being, Senora.
00:06:42Your days of working multiple jobs are over, my dear.
00:06:49Ten million dollars is a little spending money.
00:06:51Well, thank you, but I can't accept this.
00:06:56I married Marco for love, not for his fortune.
00:07:01Practical 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.
00:07:20There's a flower girl in the cemetery.
00:07:23Luca!
00:07:24Come meet Eva, your brother's wife.
00:07:27Please, show her proper-
00:07:29Respect!
00:07:33You walk back into a Mancini household?
00:07:38You're either incredibly stupid or incredibly brave.
00:07:41Luca!
00:07:42Open this door immediately!
00:07:46Everyone around back, now!
00:07:51Who are you, really?
00:07:54I'll be watching your every move, your every breath.
00:08:00So tell me, who are you, really?
00:08:05My brother's dead, and you appear suddenly?
00:08:09Was this your endgame all along?
00:08:11Our fortune?
00:08:12I didn't know Marco's a Mancini.
00:08:15And now?
00:08:16I don't need this!
00:08:17I 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?
00:08:34Question the line you are, but don't you dare question my child.
00:08:41That's my girl.
00:08:43Backbone of steel.
00:08:45Are you hurt?
00:08:47Luca!
00:08:48You are too rude!
00:08:50Ava is a good girl!
00:08:52You are falsely accusing her!
00:08:54Come on, sweetie.
00:08:55Mom's gonna take you and get some clothes.
00:08:57Pay no attention to this fool.
00:08:59You may be coming, wouldn't you say?
00:09:01Question the line you are, don't you dare question my child.
00:09:03You may be fooling them.
00:09:04But I will find out about you and I will expose you.
00:09:10more than just six months soon.
00:09:11Number two of them are okay.
00:09:12You may notice that they are also not too expensive.
00:09:17Oh, not to worry.
00:09:20It's all on a Lucas card.
00:09:22Treat my dear daughter-in-law well.
00:09:25latest European styles. Take your pick. I have plenty to wear. And these are much too expensive.
00:09:31Oh, not to worry. It's all on a Lucas card. Treat my dear daughter-in-law well.
00:09:55Oh, isn't she gorgeous?
00:10:19She's adequate.
00:10:21Always the tough guy act with you. Your eyes tell a different story, my son.
00:10:30Oh, yes. This is just perfect. We will take one of everything in her size.
00:10:38Mom. Mom, that's too generous.
00:10:44Nonsense. We're family now.
00:10:46I am putting Luca's contact info into your phone. Reach out to him, whatever you need.
00:10:53And don't worry. He's actually quite a softie. Now, shall we continue shopping?
00:11:00Yes.
00:11:01Sir. Yes.
00:11:02Your mother has spent approximately $15 million on Miss Jackson in the last week alone.
00:11:07God. In mere days, she has swooned the dog family out of millions of dollars. She's clearly
00:11:12not an amateur. She's also been spending a substantial amount since marrying your brother to pay off her brother's debts.
00:11:26I want everything on her. Everything! If she is playing us for fools, then I will personally ensure that she regrets ever hearing the name Mancino.
00:11:38I'm sorry, ma'am. I hate to put extra stress on your shoulders, but we need to discuss the incredible cost of your husband's care and how the bill will be paid.
00:11:57Limited edition is perfect for you.
00:12:04Marco, you just focus on getting better, okay?
00:12:08Don't worry about the bills. I've got it covered.
00:12:19Your brother married Miss Jackson under false pretenses. She worked several jobs to make that money. And when your brother got sick, she worked to pay off his medical bills. And then day and night for his funeral.
00:12:30Did I get her all wrong?
00:12:33Hello?
00:12:34Mother is unwell. You need to return home immediately.
00:12:35What's wrong with Mom? Is she hurt?
00:12:44Mom?
00:12:45Mom? What's going on?
00:12:46What's going on?
00:12:47Ava, please don't be angry. We just had to get you here.
00:12:48What are you doing?
00:12:49What are you doing?
00:12:50Since you won't help us financially.
00:12:51What are you doing?
00:12:52Since you won't help us financially.
00:12:53What are you doing?
00:12:54We had to find another solution. Victor Fang. That old loan shark's son.
00:12:55Is she hurt?
00:12:56Mom?
00:12:57What's going on?
00:12:58Mom?
00:12:59Mom?
00:13:00Mom?
00:13:01What's going on?
00:13:06Ava, please don't be angry. We just had to get you here.
00:13:12What are you doing?
00:13:17Since you won't help us financially, we had to find another solution. Victor Fang. That old loan shark's willing to give us $80,000 just to marry you.
00:13:27Are you insane?
00:13:33I'm pregnant!
00:13:35Your husband's dead, Ava.
00:13:37Why keep his baby?
00:13:39Think about your family.
00:13:41Mr. Fang is waiting.
00:13:43Don't make this harder than it needs to be.
00:13:45You are not selling me off to Victor Fang!
00:13:49If she dies, how will you provide for this child?
00:13:57She's calling someone!
00:14:06Hello?
00:14:12Ava's in danger! We need to move! Go, go, go!
00:14:27You think someone's coming to save you?
00:14:36God!
00:14:37God!
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 kit.
00:14:54If you want, I can take care of it right now.
00:14:56We could offer you a discount, and I think $60,000 is more than fair.
00:15:00Pennies! For somebody of your wealth!
00:15:02Derek, you're sick! I'm your sister! This is your nephew!
00:15:05My son's future is more important to me than that stupid little bastard of yours!
00:15:10Hey, hey! No need to be so rough with such a beautiful lady.
00:15:15Now, dear, just take this right here, and it'll make things easier for everybody.
00:15:22Oh, okay! You're a little feisty, I see.
00:15:29Maybe you just need a little personal attention.
00:15:35Ah!
00:15:45Get out of my way!
00:15:57I always knew Ava was trouble.
00:15:59Her husband's barely cold, and she already has another.
00:16:03Who the hell do you think you are?
00:16:08I look at Mancini.
00:16:09Mancini, you idiot!
00:16:11You 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?
00:16:22Her 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!
00:16:33You will be dealt with,
00:16:35pinfold,
00:16:36what you did to Ava.
00:16:40Get a doctor! Get a doctor! Get a car!
00:16:42And deal with it!
00:16:43Get a car! And deal with it!
00:17:12Mom!
00:17:13Hey!
00:17:14How's Ava?
00:17:15How's the baby?
00:17:16The doctors are examining her now.
00:17:18Doctor, how is she?
00:17:19Ms. Mancini has a severe ankle fracture that it needs immediate surgery. The medication could cause a miscarriage. So we need to have consent before we can proceed.
00:17:26Do it! Whatever it takes!
00:17:27No!
00:17:28Doctor, is there any way to do the surgery without anesthesia?
00:17:29That's not medically advisable. The pain would be too excruciating.
00:17:30The pain would be too excruciating.
00:17:31No!
00:17:32This baby is Marco's only one.
00:17:33Is there any way to do the surgery without anesthesia?
00:17:34That's not medically advisable. The pain would be too excruciating.
00:17:38This baby is Marco's only child. His only heir. I can't risk losing it. I can handle the pain.
00:17:39The pain would be too excruciating.
00:17:40This baby is Marco's only child. His only heir. I can't risk losing it. I can handle the pain.
00:17:41Oh my brave girl.
00:17:43Oh my brave girl.
00:17:44Oh no.
00:17:45No.
00:17:46So we need to have consent before we can proceed.
00:17:48Do it. Whatever it takes.
00:17:49No!
00:17:50Doctor, is there any way to do the surgery without anesthesia?
00:17:54That's not medically advisable. The pain would be too excruciating.
00:17:56This baby is Marco's only child. His only heir. I can't risk losing it. I can handle the pain.
00:18:09girl. God bless you. You know I think somebody should be with her during the
00:18:15operation. The pain would be just too intense. I'll stay with her.
00:18:39How'd it go, doctor? It's a success. You're a real trooper if you don't mind me saying.
00:18:51I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:19:09Senora Ava, please let me help you.
00:19:16Okay, right this way only.
00:19:26I know your stay at the hospital could not have been easy for you.
00:19:30That's why I'm having 30% of Mancini Group shares put into your name.
00:19:36No. Mom, I cannot accept that.
00:19:40We're family. It's what you deserve.
00:19:44Actually, I've been thinking about doing something else.
00:19:49I'd like to go back to work.
00:19:51Work? But, but, you're pregnant.
00:19:55Oh honey, if you need money I'll just transfer some into your account.
00:19:58No, 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.
00:20:09And know what he valued.
00:20:12You are as stubborn as he was.
00:20:15Look, you're going to need protection.
00:20:19You'll accompany her.
00:20:22No, no, no, no, no. I can manage on my own.
00:20:27In the morning, 10 a.m. I'll be at the entrance.
00:20:34You know that I can talk to your manager for you.
00:20:45Make sure that they accommodate every need.
00:20:47No need. I don't want any special treatments.
00:20:50But, thank you for that ride.
00:20:54You know, Ava, you do not need to be afraid of me.
00:20:57I can help you whenever you need.
00:21:00Why is she even back?
00:21:04That pregnant belly ruins the source of static.
00:21:06These pregnant women know exactly what they're doing.
00:21:09Hiding behind maternity protections.
00:21:24We can't legally fire her.
00:21:26hiding behind maternity protections we can't legally fire her could you reassign her to the
00:21:32warehouse maybe move some stock around and if something happens to her the baby you want that
00:21:36liability we can't fire her but we certainly can make her life difficult enough that she decides to
00:21:44quit on her own and that concludes our quarterly revenue projections

00:23:47single day but she's still a great deal short of the manager's impossible target

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

01:11:45Good.
01:11:46Want something to eat?
01:11:48Okay.
01:11:49Okay.
01:11:49I thought this hospital was the best that money can buy.
01:11:57I guess I was misinformed.
01:11:59Luca.
01:12:01They're doing the best they can.
01:12:03Let's not terrorize the staff.
01:12:07Luca.
01:12:08I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:12You would tear me apart.
01:12:13Hmm.
01:12:19Luca.
01:12:23Remember to control yourself, son.
01:12:26Let her recover first.
01:12:29Hmm.
01:12:29Hmm.
01:12:33Here you go.
01:12:34Here you go.
01:12:35Yeah?
01:12:35Yeah.
01:12:35Just like that.
01:12:36Hi.
01:12:38And have you decided what to name this little prince?
01:12:43Marco.
01:12:45Marco.
01:12:46I want to name him Marco.
01:12:47Look, little one.
01:13:13It's your daddy.
01:13:15Your real daddy.
01:13:16It's remarkable how much he looks like.
01:13:24Marco.
01:13:26I thought you had all the answers.
01:13:29And that you handle everything.
01:13:32And I promise to protect mom.
01:13:36The business.
01:13:38And your family.
01:13:42Our family.
01:13:42You know Marco used to say that if you wanted to think about somebody, you would watch the dandelion.
01:13:53And if the seeds blew out easily, then they were thinking of you too.
01:13:56I hear you on the radio.
01:13:57I hear you on the radio.
