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

01:11:38Push.
01:11:39Hey.
01:11:40Hi.
01:11:41How are you feeling?
01:11:42Good.
01:11:43You want something to eat?
01:11:44I'm okay.
01:11:45Okay.
01:11:46Okay.
01:11:47I thought this hospital was the best that money can buy.
01:11:50I guess I was misinformed.
01:11:51Luca.
01:11:52They're doing the best they can.
01:11:53Let's not terrorize the staff.
01:11:55Luca.
01:11:56I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:11:57You would tear me apart.
01:11:58Luca.
01:11:59I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:00You would tear me apart.
01:12:01Luca.
01:12:02Remember to control yourself, son.
01:12:03Let her recover first.
01:12:04There you go.
01:12:05There you go.
01:12:06There you go.
01:12:07There you go.
01:12:08There you go.
01:12:09There you go.
01:12:13Luca.
01:12:14I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:15You would tear me apart.
01:12:17Luca.
01:12:18Luca.
01:12:19Luca.
01:12:20Remember to control yourself, son.
01:12:24Let her recover first.
01:12:25And have you decided what to name this little prince?
01:12:40Marco.
01:12:41Marco.
01:12:42I want to name him Marco.
01:12:47Look, little one.
01:13:11It's your daddy.
01:13:13Your real daddy.
01:13:15It's remarkable how much he looks like
01:13:22Marco
01:13:24I thought you had all the answers
01:13:27And that you'd handle everything
01:13:30And I promise
01:13:32To protect mom
01:13:33The business
01:13:36And your family
01:13:38Our family
01:13:41You know Marco used to say
01:13:46That if you wanted to think about somebody
01:13:50You would watch the dandelion
01:13:52And if the seeds blew out easily
01:13:54Then they were thinking of you too
01:14:11Miss
