Mancini’S Forbidden Bride
Transcript
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.
00:00:31I 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 hate you again.
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, dear.
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!
00:01:51Who 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 you.
00:01:57Luca, look at her.
00:01:59She's hardly a threat.
00:02:00For the flowers, and for the interruption, my apologies.
00:02:14Mr. Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson, and 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?
00:03:45There'll never be enough, Ava.
00:03:47You'll owe us to 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?
00:04:24Who the hell are you people?
00:04:25Ava, right?
00:04:26You were here this morning.
00:04:27Enough, Luca.
00:04:28She's hardly up there.
00:04:29Ma'am?
00:04:30I'm Helena Mancini.
00:04:31Marco's mother.
00:04:32That means I'm your baby's grandmother.
00:04:33The most powerful mafia family in the country.
00:04:34Oh.
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.
00:04:43You have endured far too much suffering because of it.
00:04:50Plain make-believe Mancini?
00:04:51Yeah.
00:04:52Seriously.
00:04:53Like, is anybody here actually buying this?
00:04:54Question my identity again?
00:04:55And my men will make sure your other leg looks like your first one.
00:04:58Ah!
00:04:59No!
00:05:00No!
00:05:01No!

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

01:02:00Ow.
01:02:00You okay?
01:02:01You okay?
01:02:01Derrick, where's Luca?
01:02:19Where's Luca?
01:02:21Don't worry about Luca.
01:02:23worry about yourself.

01:12:05You want something to eat?
01:12:07Okay.
01:12:08Okay.
01:12:13I thought this hospital was the best that money can buy.
01:12:16I guess I was misinformed.
01:12:19Luca.
01:12:21They're doing the best they can.
01:12:22Let's not terrorize the staff.
01:12:26Luca.
01:12:27I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:31You would tear me apart.
01:12:32Luca.
01:12:39Luca.
01:12:42Remember to control yourself, son.
01:12:46Let her recover first.
01:12:52There you go.
01:12:54Yeah.
01:12:55Just like me.
01:12:56Hi.
01:12:56And have you decided what to name this little prince?
01:13:00Marco.
01:13:02Marco.
01:13:04I want to name him Marco.
01:13:26Look, little one.
01:13:32It's your daddy.
01:13:34Your real daddy.
01:13:38It's remarkable how much he looks like.
01:13:42Marco.
01:13:44I thought you had all the answers.
01:13:48And that you handle everything.
01:13:50And I promise to protect mom.
01:13:54The business.
01:13:56And your family.
01:14:00Our family.
01:14:02You know, Marco used to say that if you wanted to think about somebody, you would watch the dandelion.
01:14:12And if the seeds blew out easily, then they were thinking of you too.
01:14:16I hear you on the radio.
01:14:22On the radio.
01:14:26To be continued.
01:14:28To be continued.
01:14:30Miss, Mrs. Mancini's wedding gifts, the finest villas, the Mancini family jewelry, and finally,
01:14:5130% ownership of Mancini group holdings, effective immediately.
01:15:00This ring has been in the Mancini family for seven generations, passed from mother to daughter-in-law.
01:15:15Thank you, woman.
01:15:21A perfect fit.
01:15:28Now, I need the two of you to focus on your top priority.
01:15:41Um, top priority?
01:15:43Giving me a granddaughter to play with little Marco Jr.
01:15:50Mom, we're at a church, and there are witnesses.
